- 4:15stand for it the network candy. Well, hello, guys, thanks,
- 4:19thanks for letting me join in. Well, we're glad to have you.
- 4:24Let me tell you, and you know, at least I know that we
- 4:27have some strong topics, and I have a feeling we're going to set the
- 4:30Jacob mindset on fire. So you and he's stupid. He's gonna be challenged.
- 4:36I say something stupid all the time, don stop me. Well,
- 4:39I'll tell you one thing about you, though, Jacob, at least are
- 4:42consistent. Stupid Jacob, I didn't all I said. He called himself stupid,
- 4:50and I just agreed with it. He just agreed with it. Exactly
- 4:54means he told you stupid, stupid. I can give more back like nothing,
- 5:00so I know better. Oh that's hey, you know what, you
- 5:03gotta be tough to work with us. Anyways, you know we're out there
- 5:06making sure that we know what we're talking about. So the one thing I
- 5:11learned in sales, if somebody you have an objection, you have to overcome
- 5:15it, or what we learn an augmentation as you refute and attack and rebuttal,
- 5:20and rebuttal means rebuild. So with that said, I don't have to
- 5:24rebuild. I'm just gonna build and I'll give it over you. We're talking
- 5:27about tonight. We're going to talk about some interesting stats pertaining Alabama football,
- 5:31the Southeastern Conference, Jordan Love Okay, we have Carolina and bad Boy,
- 5:38and of course we're gonna talk about the World Darts Championship. And when I
- 5:42tell Ian Hilton, I'm willing to go different. Ian, I'm going to
- 5:46tell you if you're watching this show, okay, Ian, okay, World
- 5:48Darts Championship. Now, I know you're dealing with pick a ball and all
- 5:51these but I search for everything. And we'll go over some additional top headlines
- 5:56as well. Time permitting what that said, let's get to the first topic.
- 6:00For the first time since two thousand and eight, players who will play
- 6:02their an entire career at Alabama will leave it out a national championship. Also,
- 6:09Alabama won't reach number one in the eight people any season for the first
- 6:13time since two thousand and one. That was Nick Saban's first year. All
- 6:17right, well, you know what, we'll top to bottom. Jacob Krishner,
- 6:23what's your take. Well, you know something, the only thing I
- 6:26can think about is that was just a very very very very stupid call at
- 6:29the end, very stupid, just especially when a couple of weeks ago we
- 6:34saw the mill Row throw a thirty yarder at the corner of the end zone
- 6:39with no time left against Auburn, you know, just to be able to
- 6:43do something like this, we know he can throw the ball. So what
- 6:46what does Bill O'Brien do. He gives them a run to draw play when
- 6:51they already had everything stuffed, and it's like that's the big thing, and
- 6:57it's like that's a safe bet. That's a safe kind of thing. When
- 7:00it's the end zone, you take the shot. And those one of the
- 7:03things as far as Alabama goes, We're gonna hear people, you know what,
- 7:06you know what you're gonna hear. You're gonna hear people go Sabans out.
- 7:11I mean that mean Sabans lost it. Yeah, he made a playoff
- 7:14again, you know, and then until he is six unless he is Bear
- 7:18Bryan, and I love Bear Bryan, I love his legacy. Unless he's
- 7:23going to the Holiday Bowl at the end trying to get a sixth win and
- 7:26win in the fourth quarter, He's not. He's not that thing. He
- 7:30hasn't lost anything. People are just so used to his legacy, sabans legacy
- 7:34and all those titles, So he hasn't lost anything in just a stupid play.
- 7:39And and by the Michigan played the game of their life. Well,
- 7:43let me point out one thing, okay, Jacob, just so we have
- 7:46a little clarification on the offensive coordinator. The offensive coordinator for Alabama's Timmy Reese
- 7:51and Bill, you're right the dumpster fire in New England probably next week.
- 7:57You're right, you're right that I'm just letting you know that Tommy Reese is
- 8:01doing it. What would that was the only reason I was thinking Bill O'Brien's
- 8:05because that play, that play looked. Think of Bill O'Brien play old school.
- 8:09What's the young guy like Tommy Reese doing with that play? Well,
- 8:11I don't know. There's another little food for thought about Bill O'Brien. He
- 8:16didn't want Milroe to even be the quarterback, one to play another position,
- 8:20and this kid here, Milroe, proved him wrong. So yeah, just
- 8:22as you went, we got there putting in perspective, and we'll move over
- 8:26to George Iikhorn. Okay, you know, well what the topic is,
- 8:28go ahead and address it. Well, yeah, I mean the bar is
- 8:33high. The bar is very high if you're an Alabama fan, alumni,
- 8:37supporter, whatever, And I certainly understand their frustration. They're not used to
- 8:43losing. They're not used to losing the championships on my finals or the finals.
- 8:48Yeah, they didn't get there this year, but they did make the
- 8:52finals. And Jacob brought up a good point. I mean, they're such
- 8:56talent and such recruiting geniuses that they're always going to go on to win it
- 9:01all. I mean that's the mentality. Not to say it's not the mentality
- 9:05of a Jim Harbaugh or any mother coach, because it is obviously you want
- 9:11to be the best of the best. But I think that Alabama really has
- 9:13nothing to be ashamed of. They rallied from a season that I thought was
- 9:18on the ropes. I really did. I didn't think there was any way
- 9:22halfway through the NCAA season that Alabama would be in the Final four. But
- 9:28all that being said, I agree. I agree wholeheartedly Jacob. That was
- 9:33not the right play to call and Nick Saban's got to take ultimate responsibility for
- 9:39that. Not as coaches then he will. But yeah, that was a
- 9:43silly point. You don't do that kind of play. You knew Michigan was.
- 9:46They're like animals on that line, and they're out to get blood,
- 9:50you know, so to speak. They were trained in fact, that was
- 9:52one of the things that Harball drilled into them and their coaching staff, you
- 9:58know, to get to the next level, they had to be like savages
- 10:03on the line, both offensively and defensively. So yeah, you played right
- 10:07into that. You played right into that. But like I said, the
- 10:09bar is always high for Alabama. They had a good season. I know
- 10:13they want to win it all, but it's not going to happen this time.
- 10:16But they'll be back. They'll be back. Nine players leaving for the
- 10:20portal though I heard today nine Alabama players, So here we go again.
- 10:24That doesn't matter to him, you know what, Jacob, it might mean
- 10:28more than you think to him. I'm going to get to that after everybody
- 10:30speak. Thank you, pick it up after that. Okay, yeah,
- 10:33no, But that's a good point. But the main thing is is this.
- 10:35I have a vested interest in this thing because the University of South Florida
- 10:39only lost seventeen to three in the front front of sixty five thousand at Raymond
- 10:43James Stadium, and everybody wondered what Alabama was like, and that's when they
- 10:48benched their quarterbacks until they came to their census to put Milroe in. So
- 10:52but that's a good point. I'm gonna comme in on and after Joe and
- 10:54Candy are done. So go ahead, Joe, listen. First of all,
- 11:03Nick Saban, for the last twenty years, that was a little different.
- 11:07The transfer portal is different today than it was in twenty oh five,
- 11:13twenty ten, twenty fifteen, So it's a different game. So yes,
- 11:16it may be a little bit past what Saban juiced to. He'll adapt though,
- 11:20because he's a great coach. So you know he'll have some down years,
- 11:24but you know, Michigan was the better team. I think Georgia was
- 11:28the better team. They just played Alabama on the wrong day. You know,
- 11:31Saban's a great coach. He gets the most out of his players.
- 11:35They'll be back, and they're gonna now with the playoffs at twelve pencil limit
- 11:39every year, they'll have a shot every year. Who cares it's a waste,
- 11:45They're going to be there consistently. But you know, more importantly,
- 11:50when I noticed that, I was thinking about this today when I was doing
- 11:52the JJ Sports Express where we do the NFL picks for the week. We
- 11:58may have history this year that Harbor beat saved. We may get the first
- 12:03time the two brothers with the college football championship at the Super Bowl. Now,
- 12:09granted, there's a lot more work that has to be done by the
- 12:13Ravens, but Michigan's only going to win one more game so and they're the
- 12:16favorite of that game. But the Ravens got the one seed, so this
- 12:20could be historic. They did play each other in a Super Bowl. They
- 12:22did a coach against each other in the Super Bowl. But you know,
- 12:26this has never been seen before. It's be interesting to see. Yeah,
- 12:31I've read about that all week, Joe. I'm glad you brought it up
- 12:33tonight. Good stuff, you know, I mean, think about it.
- 12:35John Harball has a chance to win it all. He's going to have Lamar
- 12:39Jackson, who, by the way, they are going to rest this weekend,
- 12:41which I think is a smart move. Anyways, why why go ahead
- 12:45and play a guy when you've already when there's nothing hanging in the balance,
- 12:48they've already won the What and if AFC North I believe is that what they
- 12:54playing over there? And that's right. So they play there, so and
- 12:58they get the number one. And that's a great point. I've seen that
- 13:01written a bof with the fact that you addressed to night is really good.
- 13:05Good stuff, Joe, all right, good Andy, Okay. So Nick
- 13:13Saban, he has had so many different coaches underneath him, besides players underneath
- 13:20him. We were talking a little bit about this on The Chicks Show last
- 13:24night. Is that Alabama is one of those schools that is just known for
- 13:30college football and Nick Saban And who doesn't want as a young high school or
- 13:35younger player, who doesn't want to go play for a Nick Saban with all
- 13:41the championships he's had with all the pedigree that he has. So these young
- 13:45players all want to go play for Nick Saban because they want they want to
- 13:50be competitive, they want the best chance. And how many NFL players has
- 13:54he produced? He's produced a ton. Yes, do they not have their
- 14:01best year? I would say for sure if you look at a lot of
- 14:03the games, they were a lot closer than what they have been in the
- 14:09past. But I have to give kudos to the College Football Playoff Committee because
- 14:18honestly, those games the other night were on par They were really close.
- 14:24They were competitive. They weren't blowouts like we've seen in some of the past
- 14:28years. With all the criticism, and I get because I've heard a lot
- 14:33of people complain Florida I live in Florida, a lot of people complaining Florida
- 14:37State wasn't in there. But would have Florida State been competitive with any of
- 14:41those four teams that played? And yes, I get that Florida State played
- 14:48in a bowl game and they played horrible. They didn't have the same amount
- 14:50of people, But even if they would have had all of their people,
- 14:54would they have been competitive with those four teams? And the games that we
- 15:01saw because we really were entertained. I will I will tell you I was
- 15:05entertained. I was really I wanted to watch the football games and you want
- 15:09to watch it from beginning to end. So who won? The fans won,
- 15:13the colleges won, college football won and got it right? All right?
- 15:18Now, let me pick up on Georgia's point. George said, what
- 15:22nine went in the portal? Is that correct? All right? Here's here's
- 15:26what's going to happen. Had Nick Saban and won it all this year,
- 15:28he would have retired, nothing like going out on top. I really,
- 15:31I really truly believe that. To me, he would have retired. I
- 15:35think where he's ultimately going to get tired of it. And we've seen it
- 15:39happen in college basketball. Or how many coaches did you see to get out
- 15:43of it? Mike Krushevsky left when he had to go, when the times
- 15:46were changing so much. Pardon me, Beheim, ye, Jim Beheim.
- 15:52And of course we had Roy Williams. So my point is this, Okay,
- 15:58Elabama, after they lost they were they were, they went out there
- 16:03and said we need some money from our nil people. So what will subsequently
- 16:07burn out Nick Saban is when it's more trouble. It's worth the asword about
- 16:14transfer portals and not enough nil money. I can tell you right now,
- 16:18I have a feeling his coaching dates will be over period. All right,
- 16:22we'll stay. We'll stay with the Southeastern Conference because it isn't represented in the
- 16:27national Championship for the first time since twenty fourteen, and it's the first time
- 16:33since twenty eighteen that there won't be an SEC team winning at all. So
- 16:41all right with that said, JB, I'll let you lead off of this
- 16:45about time there's some change. But once again the committee was wronged. You
- 16:49know, the world teams were the playoffs. I could care less that Alabama
- 16:53beat Georgia. Georgia was a much better team. If we want to go
- 16:56with the better team that we left Florida State out, so that would be
- 17:00the first one. And if we're not saying the better team that Florida State
- 17:03should be in because they won their conference, didn't lose a game, So
- 17:07it could be one of the other. Can't be both. We've had two
- 17:10SEC teams in before where Baba beat Georgia I believe, or the other way
- 17:15around way back, and they both got in, so they could have put
- 17:19the two SCC teams in, but I don't know who you'd leave out.
- 17:22The games were thoroughly entertaining. I'm glad the SEC isn't in the championship game
- 17:26because this was a year that they were actually down. This was not the
- 17:30best year by the conference. So it's good to see, especially that's the
- 17:34last year for the PAC twelve. You know, it'd be historic to see
- 17:38them would in the last year of the conference. I think Michigan wins either
- 17:42way, but there's a lot of great storylines. But I still think Georgia
- 17:48and Florida State would have been the two teams that deserve to be there.
- 17:52Fair enough, Okay, we'll turn over to Jacob. One of the things
- 17:57about is I get the feeling that the committee playoff committees is getting the people
- 18:02used to the idea of no SEC champion because think about this, for one
- 18:07second, you had Alabama, and Alabama could have easily done it, but
- 18:10they won't. But one of the things that you would see is now that
- 18:15you're gonna have nine hundred and seventy two teams in the B, one G,
- 18:18you know, and stuff like that, and then everybody else like probably
- 18:21three probably three conferences like the Simmering Down are going away. It's gonna be
- 18:26such a different time. So the SEC is gonna have the SEC k just
- 18:30go off their name anymore. There's gonna be so much and Washington proved they
- 18:33belonged, so they're even the PAC twelve and it's going you know what I'm
- 18:37saying. So one of the big things is I think you. I think
- 18:41the SEC just because of all their years of winning, and they won so
- 18:47much. We can say since twenty fifteen, twenty eighteen, it's been like
- 18:51oh nine since they're constant. So so there's gonna be that way. And
- 18:57it's like now the see he's not gonna go in on the name anymore.
- 19:02They're gonna have to go work. They're probably they're going to a twelve man
- 19:04They're going to a twelve team. They're probably gonna get the hardest challenges.
- 19:10It's just because they couldn't have had. It's gonna be their reputation from the
- 19:14past. It's like, you want to win it, and now you're gonna
- 19:17earn it. Good point. Okay, we'll turn over to George. Well,
- 19:22I don't shed any tears. I mean, the SEC has been around
- 19:26for so long and been such a prominent player in this college football championship series.
- 19:33And it's a refreshing, refreshing for me personally to see the PAC twelve
- 19:38and the Big Ten. You know, it's like the old familiar Rose Bowl
- 19:42when we all had the our eyes glued to the television set at five pm
- 19:48Eastern time on New Year's Day and go and behold. We had that same
- 19:51scenario with Michigan playing Alabama, of course in Pasadena. But I think this
- 19:56is exciting for not only the Pack twelve, but excited for all conferences,
- 20:03you know, because the Big Ten and the PAC twelve made it. It's
- 20:06gonna be really a good, good game. It really is. And I
- 20:11had no tears for the SEC like you said, Joe. I mean,
- 20:14they've had they've had their run, and they've been in there so many times,
- 20:18and probably I agree, Georgia for sure should have been in there.
- 20:22And now you know, next year is going to be the expansion, so
- 20:26there's gonna be less billy aching, less crying about my team not getting in
- 20:30and yours did. Because of the expanded field, there will always be some
- 20:33complaints, you know that, even with twelve, But I think they need
- 20:38to control and keep the Bulls as viable as they can. And that's a
- 20:45whole other subject. But I really think that having the national championship is great,
- 20:51but you also got to keep the balls going because Bulls draw twenty five
- 20:55to forty five thousand people for every one of those ball games. And that's
- 21:00off to ESPN because they put a lot of money forward and televised ninety percent
- 21:04of those games themselves. So that being said, Scott, I'm all for
- 21:10it. Sorry, SEC, this just wasn't your year turn over to Candy.
- 21:17Okay, So it's no surprise that I'm a big ten girl, But
- 21:21so am I sad that the SEC is intill I mean, let's face it,
- 21:30They've won thirteen of the last seventeen national championships in football. Alabama's won
- 21:34six of those thirteen. That's just too much. Like I think, I
- 21:41like more parody. I like seeing people that haven't been in there. I
- 21:45like seeing less dominance of one team, just like the NFL. I like
- 21:49more parody. I like to see other teams win it, other schools win
- 21:53it. You know, next year is going to be twelve. We talked
- 22:00a little bit about on the on the Chicks show. On Chicks and Salsa,
- 22:03we talked about the fact that the transfer portal, in my opinion,
- 22:11should not open until after these Bowl games because I think so many of them
- 22:18don't play unless they're playing for a national championship. They don't play in these
- 22:22games, and then these games aren't the same, they're not as competitive,
- 22:26and I miss I miss that, I missed the fact that everybody was playing
- 22:33the same team. So I really think the transfer portal does us harm by
- 22:38opening up in December. I think it should wait till after the bowl games.
- 22:44But that's just my opinion, and that probably is a debate that we
- 22:47could talk about for a long time. I don't think it's as much of
- 22:52a debate as you think it is. And I'll tell you why I say
- 22:53that, because number one, I think you're totally on point. Number two,
- 22:59the biggest thing that you have to understand, as the nc DOUBLEA is
- 23:02begging for help from Congress to try to get this messed straightened out, and
- 23:06Congress doesn't want to get involved. So the NCAA looks like a bunch of
- 23:10chickens between their legs is what they have, because they don't know what they're
- 23:14gonna do. You've got a problem area. Everybody understand name, image and
- 23:17likeness, Okay, and you get that, and the transfer portal has gotten
- 23:21out of control. We have over fifteen hundred to two thousand students in how
- 23:25many gonna end up landing big spots and then the other ones are going to
- 23:26be stuck. So I don't think your way out of the line there.
- 23:30I think you're more on target than you think. But when you also look
- 23:33at the dynamics of the fact that Washington and Michigan are playing for the national
- 23:37title, guess what, They're going to see each other again in the fall,
- 23:41aren't they? And yeah, what the only tug of war you're gonna
- 23:44have will be between CBS and NBC. Who's gonna get that game? So
- 23:48now we have a pseudo Big ten championship game next year after we already have
- 23:56a decisive national championship game in a matter of days, right, So it'll
- 24:03be interesting, it really is. And and I think you're right, Candy,
- 24:06this is all parody. If I've ever seen the problem is then SEC
- 24:10can't handle it. Guys like Dabo Sweeney can't handle it. They had a
- 24:14down year as well too. I mean, we watched Miami beat Clemson and
- 24:18Dabo Sweeney used to be the king of that castle. Everybody was a dirty
- 24:22rascal, right, Well, you know what, heaven a tough year all
- 24:25of a sudden, you're not trying to change how business should be conducted.
- 24:27So you know, I mean, the twelve teens is the right team,
- 24:32and I don't think they're going to mess with it anymore. I think weelve
- 24:34was enough. But there's so many interesting dynamics. But the reality is congresses
- 24:41who want to get involved in say NCAA, you've got to figure out your
- 24:44own business. And that's all there is to it. So hotel gets the
- 24:48cartel gets to operate without a problem, because that's what the NCAA is.
- 24:52It's a cartel exactly. Well, babafia, it's a disgusting business practice that
- 24:56exploits young men and it's done that for how low young men and women?
- 25:00Right, you know that they make money off the backs of these kids.
- 25:03Coaches were able to leave anytime they chose go get another job. Meanwhile,
- 25:10you know, if you're with a six foot four center from whatever school and
- 25:14your coach left, you were stuck sitting out a year and you you know,
- 25:17if you didn't want to play for the new coach or if he didn't
- 25:19like what you did and you were stuck. So the NCAA, they have
- 25:22a lot of problems. It's not a well road organization. It's all about
- 25:26making money. It's not about the student athletes. It never has been.
- 25:32Jab did you say a six to fourth center win and win nineteen fifty six?
- 25:36Football? Football, not basketball. Oh okay, because football runs the
- 25:42world in the I've got a couple of news headlines I want to mention before
- 25:48we go any further in this show. Number one, Blake Korham. When
- 25:53when Blake Korum scores a touchdown, the University of Michigan is thirty one to
- 25:57oh. So that's a pretty interesting note that people should go out there and
- 26:02take note going on one day's game. Secondly, on this day. In
- 26:07nineteen seventy three, fifty one years ago, George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees from
- 26:12CBS for ten million dollars. The most recent valuation for the Bronx commerce seven
- 26:17point one billion dollars. If that isn't a good ROI return on investment,
- 26:22then tell me what one. Because that's why the Yankees can buy anybody they
- 26:26want. Of course, the Dodgers can too, but that's another topic for
- 26:30another day. So let me repeat on this day. In nineteen seventy three,
- 26:34fifty one years ago, George Steinbrenner buys the Yankees from CBS for ten
- 26:41million dollars and the most recent valuation is seven point one billion dollars. All
- 26:45right, but that said, Okay, we go to the debate of the
- 26:48night segment. Okay, and this is the segment that we get to go
- 26:52ahead and rile up Jacob Kristner and free to go ahead and participate after and
- 27:00he hammers him and she hammers back. You know, Cannie's a sweet person,
- 27:03We know that. But the Wh'll tell you one thing I about that
- 27:07chick so shows she told me earlier that yany you know, the girls want
- 27:11her to step up and stop them from talking a little bit too much.
- 27:14Right, This girl that I have is packed with knowledge and she's packed with
- 27:18ability. And let's forget about who she learned from, because you want to
- 27:22learn good habits and bad habits. But she's way prettier than I am.
- 27:26All you have to do is ask my brother Lonnie. He always watches her
- 27:30shows anyways, so and that. So with that said, we're gonna let's
- 27:34get lovely on this subject with Jordan Love has thrown more yards than any Bears
- 27:41QB in a single season and franchise history. I know this is killing It's
- 27:45not killing me. I'm laughing, yeah, I know, all right.
- 27:48Love uh in twenty twenty three has thirty eight hundred and forty three passing yards,
- 27:52while the Bears all time record is thirty eight thirty eight. So you
- 27:56know, we have some four digit lottery numbers here, but you know those
- 28:00are the hard, cold facts. And now, Jake Christner, they're your
- 28:04team. There are there is nothing you're gonna get me to like make me
- 28:08humiliate it on something like this. It's like the only thing I could say
- 28:12is I was wrong in Love. I mean, I will say it.
- 28:15I started the beginning and you heard me what I said. I was wrong
- 28:18on the guy just because I saw him in college and he just wasn't that
- 28:22he just wasn't that good. He was very, very mistake prone. But
- 28:26the biggest thing about it is, you know what I keep forgetting in the
- 28:27middle of all this, I'll say this, candy. It matters with coaching.
- 28:33It matters with coaching because by it said, but you're because you're looking,
- 28:37you're looking at like for instance, I'm just using an example, Joe
- 28:41Flacco, horrible with the Jets, comes straight in on the Cleveland. You'll
- 28:45with a real coach with everything with the system bam playoffs Now, So the
- 28:51coaching matters. Jordan Love fell in with a great coach, great coach,
- 28:56and they got him off of his mistakes. He has some flaws at times,
- 29:00but he's getting better and better as far as the Bears go. I
- 29:06mean, part of the reason of everything I say with Justin Fields is the
- 29:10first place because three years ago, when they got him, they got him
- 29:12up. I caught the emotional nitwit. They got him off emotional Knitwi.
- 29:15It's like you didn't change up your coaching staff, you didn't change anything,
- 29:21you didn't build around him. Really, three years in you finally get DJ
- 29:26DJ Moore finally, but then you still didn't get you still are missing half
- 29:30of a line. He's still running for his life. They didn't get another
- 29:34receiver to really help him. You had comet, but if he was hurt
- 29:37then they had no tight end. So and that's every quarterback. Cutler dealt
- 29:44with the Trubisky dealt with it. Every quarterback in history. With the Bears
- 29:48deals with it. They still think it's nineteen eighty five. The only thing
- 29:53that can you can tell from the Packers that live old is lambeaut and because
- 29:59they do renovate Lambeau all the time. So that's the whole thing. The
- 30:03Packers thinking forward. The Bears are still in nineteen eighty five. All right,
- 30:07Well, Candy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. The
- 30:17Bears, what can I say? They just they don't have the coaching,
- 30:22they don't have the quarterbacks. The one thing I will say about Jordan Love
- 30:26we all said in the beginning he wasn't doing well. He has young receivers
- 30:32and all of that is true, but I think he has the smarts who
- 30:38read that. He's starting to read defenses. He's starting to read where his
- 30:45open men are, and I think he's starting to gel with the receivers so
- 30:48that the receivers and him are on the same page. He's starting to know
- 30:53where they're going to be, how quickly they're going to get there, and
- 30:59when he's trying to run for his life or scramble, he's reading them better.
- 31:07He has not thrown knock on wood, very many interceptions. He also
- 31:12has over thirty touchdowns for the year, which is more than any Chicago quarterback
- 31:18as down in a season, as well as yards. And if you look
- 31:23at his numbers compared to let's say, Hall of Fame Aaron Rodgers in his
- 31:29first year, he is similar, if not beating all of Aaron Rodgers' numbers
- 31:34as well. So is he going to be a Hall of Fame quarterback?
- 31:40Time is gonna tell. But I honestly think, as I've really watched and
- 31:45studied the game, that the quarterback position is more about smarts and reading your
- 31:52defense and being able to adjust to your defense. Because if you can't adjust
- 31:56to your defense, you're throwing interceptions, you're being picked off, You're throwing
- 32:04balls not high enough over your offensive line and they're being batted down, you're
- 32:09getting sacked, And it's about knowing when to take a sack and when you
- 32:14can't afford to take a sack. So you really have to play with smarts
- 32:19football smarts, is what I'll say. And Jordan Love is doing better than
- 32:23he was at the beginning of the season. You see the same caliber as
- 32:28some of the other quarterbacks now, not yet, but I would say he's
- 32:30better than I'd say at least a third of the quarterbacks in the league right
- 32:35now, at least all right. The only thing I'm going to add to
- 32:38that, and Candy touched on just what everything I was going to say,
- 32:42But I figure this was really designed for her and Jacob and the rest of
- 32:45us will say a thing or two is Jordan Love sat behind Aaron Rodgers,
- 32:51and I think that in an instant gratification league, what you expect your rookie
- 32:57to go on there? I think the best way to groom a quarterback without
- 33:00losing his confidence is by letting him sit behind him veteran, and that's exactly
- 33:07what he did. The New York Jets were hoping that Zach Wilson could sit
- 33:10behind Rogers end of the year. Unfortunately it didn't work out because Rogers suffered
- 33:14that season ending injury at the beginning. So again, loves of beneficiary of
- 33:20being able to sit back learn the game behind him, just like Rogers did
- 33:25with Brett Farr. So there's a history in Green Bay where they're patient with
- 33:30their quarterbacks while other ones have to just put him in there and hope that
- 33:32they don't lose their confidence. Zach Wilson will do well somewhere else, I
- 33:37can tell you, just not with the Jets, because he was, like
- 33:40you guys say, coaching matters. So more power to Love that he was
- 33:45able to hang in there and learn behind Rogers. And I think the help
- 33:51the upside with jordan Love is extremely high. And just think they end up
- 33:54probably have as many wins as last year's Packers team did. And we're the
- 34:00New York Jets with Rogers. Don't ask, all right, We'll turn over
- 34:04to Joe some thoughts. So a couple of things. First of all,
- 34:08the offensive game has changed, so to say that Jorda Love has more passing
- 34:15yards than any Bears quarterback, although it's accurate, we're really only talking about
- 34:20the last fifteen seventeen years and that would be the time frame and the Bears
- 34:25really didn't have anyone that was lights out during that time period. But kudos
- 34:30to Jordana Love. He exceeding everyone's expectation. But the key to why he's
- 34:36doing that la floor last year when Aaron Rodgers was a time bob at Green
- 34:42Bay and they had to put Jordia Love in when he got hurt a couple
- 34:45of games. He was horrible. But what did Lafloor do? He kept
- 34:50the team together when Rogers was didn't want to practice, didn't want to do
- 34:53anything when he talked, when he would say whatever in the press, Lafloor
- 34:59kept the team together other and they had a really good year and to make
- 35:01the playoffs. But they were close. This year, Love finally got the
- 35:06chance to start, shook off all the garbage from last year from his couple
- 35:09of starts, said you know what, I'm going to go out there and
- 35:12play. And what happens with that? How does he become a different quarterback?
- 35:16Confidence and good coaching, you know, Lafloor got him to the point
- 35:21where he's a more confident quarterback. It's not easy to come it after somebody
- 35:24great, Jacob's gonna talk after me. It's gonna be hard. It's not
- 35:28gonna be easy to make the points like I made them. I get it,
- 35:30you know so, But no, in all seriousness, you know it
- 35:35was I'm sure a tough situation to be thrown in there last year. You
- 35:38can't go by that. Jordan Love has talent. Lafloor is a very good
- 35:43coach. He's proved it last year. He proved it again this year.
- 35:46Unfortunately, I think the pressure this week's going to be a bit much for
- 35:50Love. So I don't see the make of the playoffs. But both teams
- 35:53way above anything that anybody would have expected. You know, they both had
- 36:00I would say, above average years, and they both have something to build
- 36:04on going into next year that the least as a future. Well, I'll
- 36:07tell you this. There was a time when I thought Dan Marino's record was
- 36:10unbreakable. The boy in the new NFL has shoved Dan down the line.
- 36:15I thought the best the quarterback that it's ever had, the best release that
- 36:19I've ever seen in any era is Dan Marino's quick release was just unbelievable.
- 36:22One way to avoid sack, get rid of the ball quick and know what
- 36:25you gotta do. How many how many ords do you think Marino would have?
- 36:30You know, at this six easy, I would say ninety thousand the
- 36:35way he threw the football. Yeah. No, here's the thing. We
- 36:43talked about this unpunnit. We really did. We had this, you know,
- 36:46a couple of weeks ago, Scott, we talked about the NFL,
- 36:51you know, you know, with the quarterbacks and the coaching and how some
- 36:54of them it's George knows this also, how some of them will just burn
- 36:59through these it's confidence, right. There was a there was a video of
- 37:07let's see Zach Wilson at BYU leaping in the air, someone trying to spear
- 37:12him and he was big enough just to like knock the guy down from the
- 37:15air and just kind of trash talk of mind did it? And that was
- 37:20And then they showed a bunch of ones where he threw sixty yards like nothing.
- 37:23All of a sudden, now he is a joke and it's like it's
- 37:28a joke to the league. And I'm like, where does that happen?
- 37:30And it's like, what do What did I say? From the beginning,
- 37:34Candy I was saying, I thought Love was screwed. I thought the Bears
- 37:37would finally break that. I thought, although I thought Love was horrible,
- 37:39he didn't. He played a couple of games in those three years and didn't
- 37:43come close to winning. I thought, this is terrible. It just shows
- 37:46that it's coaching. Coaching also means when someone's having a bad game, they
- 37:52keep with them. They don't do what's uh, you know, they don't
- 37:55do what Sean Payton did to Russell Wilson done the set and everything. It's
- 38:00like, yeah, you made this, we're gonna go work on this and
- 38:04we're gonna get you know. And it's like he kept with love the whole
- 38:07time they were two and six, kept with him, and it's like that's
- 38:09what good coaching does. And it's like the you know, that's the biggest
- 38:15thing. Remember, I don't, I truly don't. I don't think.
- 38:20I do not think at all it's between injury and anything like that. I
- 38:23don't think. I think this year's the first time he's played sixty eights in
- 38:28a row, justin fields, you know, at once, whether it's injury
- 38:31or being set or any of that stuff. I think his first time he's
- 38:34played six in a row. And it's like and that's the big thing with
- 38:37it is there isn't a real consistency with him. He never has the coaching.
- 38:42Put him in, Put him on with Brian Dabele. I'm just gonna
- 38:46say that's jab Put him with Brian Dabele, put him with any coach that
- 38:52is a guru, put him anywhere, he will be a monster. I
- 38:54just believe it. I do too, all right, we'll turn over to
- 38:59George's and Wayton, So go ahead, and George, well, I don't
- 39:02have that much more to add. A couple of things I look at in
- 39:07a quarterback, especially a young quarterback who's developing, is the fact that he
- 39:13has six targets with three hundred or more yards so far this season. I
- 39:19think that's a very good stat He's distributing the ball very well. And I
- 39:24think that Jordans had a great year, much stronger than probably most people expected.
- 39:30And he's dished out ten different teammates for touchdowns and that says a lot
- 39:37also, so he's finding different targets, he's not just relying on one or
- 39:40two guys to provide the offense. And receiving yards are being distributed very well,
- 39:46very equally with Green Bay right now, and the touchdowns as well.
- 39:51I think he has a great future ahead of him. I'm not going to
- 39:53compare him to Chicago Bears quarterbacks because it's a bit of a stretch, only
- 39:58in the fact that you know, I still have a lot of a lot
- 40:00of hope for the for the Bears as well, But no, I think
- 40:05Green Bays had a really good year, and you know, if this this
- 40:08if whether it make the playoffs or not, of course they want to make
- 40:12it. But uh, this has been a solid year for him, and
- 40:15I do I do think he's well coached obviously up at Green Bay as well.
- 40:21Okay, I get to add one last little point because Georgie reminded me
- 40:25of something. One of the points that they were talking about with Jordan is
- 40:31the fact that he has distributed it to Like you said, ten different receivers
- 40:37have gotten touchdowns. He does not have a prime or key receiver that is
- 40:45a veteran that is making a lot of money. And they have said that
- 40:51that is probably the best thing for a rookie because you don't have someone that's
- 40:57saying I have to have the ball. I have to have the ball.
- 40:59You got to throw me the ball. Yet to throw me the ball,
- 41:00I'm the one that you have to do it. That they're working by a
- 41:05committee and so there isn't that added pressure of you always need to look for
- 41:10one person first. And I think that that happens in some of the other
- 41:15NFL teams. I mean, let's face it, we all know DeVante Adams
- 41:20used to play for the Packers. Look how many times he said you're not
- 41:23throwing me. I'm not getting the ball enough. I'm not getting the ball.
- 41:27I'm the receiver you need to be throwing to. Jordan Love does not
- 41:30have that added pressure, which I think has made a big difference as well.
- 41:35Thanks exactly, Thank you well cover this one really well. So guess
- 41:38what we're going to go? From Green Bay Dow to Carolina. Talk about
- 41:43Carolina's bad boy. No, I'm not talking about the Detroit bad Boys.
- 41:47Carolina's bad boy. Okay. The NFL has fined Panthers chairman David Tepper three
- 41:53hundred thousand for unacceptable conduct during Sunday's game, throwing a drink fans in Jacksonville.
- 42:00My my mind, let me break down some really silly stance. Heer
- 42:05about this whole thing. Okay, ready for this, Okay, let's see
- 42:09got it on. Hey, you know what, folks, I have two
- 42:13phones. What a beautiful thing here, you know, one for videos and
- 42:15all the good stuff. And then we're gonna go ahead and talk about what
- 42:17this fine really amounts to. Okay, but with this fine amounts to is
- 42:22the equivalent of finding the average American a dollar seventy seven. My goodness,
- 42:28I can even count that high, all right. So with that said,
- 42:31okay, we're gonna turn it over to Jacob Christner. After all, all
- 42:37you need to go up I eighty five to dig up this story. So
- 42:39do it, Jacob. Oh lord, David Tebur And if you're longer than
- 42:45most people, I have to give you a head start anyway. See,
- 42:47let me tell you this part here. Take one look at the guy,
- 42:52and he looks like the evil guy on a Hallmark movie. You know,
- 42:55just take a look at his face. Just everything, he just he's got
- 42:59that smirk. You are fired, and it's and it's that Christmas Carol look
- 43:05that horrible and a really cheap movie. That's what he looks like. Only
- 43:08at the end they start smiling. They start smiling at the end and are
- 43:14all happy and it's a happy ending. David Tepper's not that guy. David
- 43:17Tepper is a terrible human being. And then him doing that that feels like
- 43:22the least of what he would want to do in the first place. Plus
- 43:27the fact he says, oh, I'm sorry, I'm just so passionate about
- 43:30the game he's given. He has basically given away for nothing. DJ Moore
- 43:36and Christian McCaffrey without it doesn't have a draft pick. He's thirty one and
- 43:40sixty five in his you know, since he's taken over. I mean,
- 43:46he is a he's a terrible owner. He's a terrible human being, terrible
- 43:50man. And that's the one of the biggest problems with something like these is
- 43:55the fact that only thing that you're gonna see with something like this is right
- 43:59now, unless he had done anything. I know, they're going to try
- 44:01to find tapes of him. They're going to try to find any kind of
- 44:05evidence to get him out, just kind of like Richardson in the first place,
- 44:07where they did with him. That's a one way other than that,
- 44:12being a jerk doesn't get you out of the league. But truthfully, Carolina
- 44:15needs him out before they can get anywhere. Well, Canny, you talked
- 44:21about it last night on Chicks and Soal, So why don't you go ahead
- 44:23and not only mention what you mentioned on that show, but if you have
- 44:27any new things that have entered your mind. Twenty four hours later, after
- 44:30he spoke on on their broadcast, so it was coming out, Well,
- 44:37did he throw it at a fan? Did he not throw it at a
- 44:38fan? I don't care if he threw it at a fan or not.
- 44:43I get I'm passionate, but you represent the NFL. You are an owner
- 44:51of a team with the NFL. There are a lot of young youngsters that
- 44:55look up to you that would love to be in your shoes. Now,
- 45:02everybody's like, oh, well, you know, he shouldn't have done that.
- 45:08Here's here's the part of his statement that leads me to believe that yes,
- 45:15he was throwing it at a fan because so many people thought, oh,
- 45:20maybe he just threw it in passion. I should have let the NFL
- 45:25stadium security handle any issues that arose. I respect the NFL's Code of Conduct
- 45:34and accept the league's discipline for my behavior. Well, yeah, because it's
- 45:38cost you what, Like Scott said, it was a dollar seventy seven for
- 45:43most of us. That three hundred thousand is a drop in the bucket for
- 45:46you. You need to act responsibly when you are in your it's a business.
- 45:54I get it, and you own them, but that doesn't give you
- 45:59the right to act however you like to. Just because you were upset because
- 46:02someone threw an interception and it wasn't going the way you wanted it to go.
- 46:07You know what, that's life. We all need to learn that that's
- 46:12life, and you need to learn how to control your temper and control your
- 46:15actions, and you need to. Yes, I'm going to hold you to
- 46:20a higher level because you are an owner of this business and so many eyes
- 46:24are on you these days especially. You cannot get away with things like that.
- 46:30You might have been able to twenty thirty years ago, but everybody's got
- 46:34cameras now on their phone, everybody's recording things. Not a better example or
- 46:40get out? All right, George iicorn? All right, well, yeah,
- 46:47I mean, you know this guy means bad news. Okay. I
- 46:52would never see William play Ford, who owned the Detroit Lyons during some really
- 46:58rough years and tough years, do something as obnoxious as that, Nor would
- 47:01I expect George Hallis or you know, Paul Brown or any of the famous
- 47:07owners of all time. You know, it's just childish, and you know,
- 47:13I know it's a drop on the bucket to him three hundred thousand dollars.
- 47:15But the point of the matter is is that you embarrassed yourself, you
- 47:20embarrass your franchise, and you are looking at a situation where who would run
- 47:27to come there if you act like that? Okay, you want Ben from
- 47:31the Lions or our offensive coordinator, you want to interview him again, Well,
- 47:36he's going to have second thoughts, okay about maybe coming to your club.
- 47:39You've gone through so many head coaches, so many players, so many
- 47:45assistant coaches, so many quarterbacks, on and on. You know, if
- 47:49you want to improve that franchise, it starts with you and your behavior.
- 47:53And bar As I know I would vote too to get him out of the
- 47:58lake if I had a vote, because there's no reason for this kind of
- 48:00man, this kind of behavior from this man right now, none at all.
- 48:06Okay, at least Jill. So I mean, let's think about this,
- 48:13right, There's no consequences in any of this punishment. So what's the
- 48:21point just to say we did something The NFL needs to do better. Secondly,
- 48:28whether it's a fan of your team or another team. Without them,
- 48:32your league is nothing. You know, if you don't have fans, you
- 48:37don't have anything. Who's watching the games, who's buying the products that are
- 48:39from the sponsors. I don't care if your team's owed a thousand, you
- 48:45still need the fans. So to go out there and do that, it
- 48:50shows what type of person you are. You know, there's nothing that could
- 48:53have been said that was that bad to make you throw a drink on somebody.
- 48:59I've never thrown a drink on somebody in my life. There's no there's
- 49:01no reason to do that. He's in a box, they were outside,
- 49:06get security. If something was said that you were that unhappy about, you
- 49:09got to take a drink and throw it on somebody. When we two years
- 49:13old and you're supposed to be the guy that's in charge of your team,
- 49:16we own this team. It's a joke. A person like that doesn't belong
- 49:22to be an owner of a professional sports team, because, yeah, you
- 49:27have to have some sort of dignity and you have to be able to lead
- 49:30by example. I really have nothing more to say. It's just pathetic and
- 49:37JB. I wanted to real quick. I wanted to say this. I'd
- 49:40say what I say about fans all the time. But you're right, have
- 49:45to have them. We had that one year we had no fans. You
- 49:47would think that would be a perfect dream for me. You know what I'm
- 49:50saying. We watched the thing nobody there. No, it's horrible, it's
- 49:53a horrible atmosphere. You need them, you need them to need everything as
- 49:58much as they drive me nuts. That might be my own visual version of
- 50:00an emotional nitwit. I get mad in the moment when I see the ones
- 50:05being stupid. But you need them, and you're correct on that, You're
- 50:08I mean, we need them to be able to pay the tickets to get
- 50:12in, to get the merchandise, to get all that and get the excitement
- 50:15going. And I guess the stupid goes with the territory. But you have
- 50:20to have them in the end, and it's like they're going to lose a
- 50:22lot of them if Temper stays around. That's just the thing. Well,
- 50:27that's not a loose some of the fact that Tepper got rid of Frank Reich
- 50:30and even last year, though Frank might eventually think him at the end,
- 50:32he's still gonna get paid for a while anyways, not to do anything.
- 50:36But the reality is is Paul find find Mom went out there today and said
- 50:40that Tepper is a clown. No, I'm sure he was being very nice
- 50:44about it, calling him a clown, because I'm sure many other people have
- 50:46said a whole lot worse about him. But let's get real here. You're
- 50:50throwing a you're throwing a drink on some fans because they were they weren't buying
- 50:55your kool aid. Get me a break, So I'm with you. You
- 51:00know, another bad owner to go along with Dan Snyder. But this is
- 51:05what we have. You know, we can't screen owners enough, bad enough.
- 51:08This guy seems to be a very good businessman, but born when it
- 51:12comes to a sports owner, he's absolutely awful. A couple more things I
- 51:16want to get to. First of all, Sconnie Scheffler has been voted excuse
- 51:22me, Player of the Year over Master's Champion John Rahm, a player vote
- 51:27that raises questions of whether Rom was penalized for affecting to live golf of this
- 51:32news information. Our final topic of the night goes from I call it the
- 51:37Ian Hill Special. Okay, and I repeat the Ian Hill Special. Let's
- 51:43be different, right, mister Hill, you got it? Okay. Kudos
- 51:46to sixteen year old Luke Letler for becoming the youngest to ever reach a World
- 51:52Darts championship. All we do in our business is play dart's looking to fuind
- 51:55what topics are good. But guess what. Some of these people play it
- 51:59for real. Of course, you know some of them buy it with the
- 52:01actual darts or the magnet. So, George, how about that. Luke
- 52:07Littler has made it famous on our broadcast because he's a darts guy. Yeah.
- 52:14Yeah, it's uh, it's really interesting because I saw a feature on
- 52:17NBC in the last day or so about him, and nobody, nobody thought
- 52:23he would get to that point. And they're making banners up and scarves up
- 52:28with his name on, and he's got his own little fan club and cheering
- 52:31section there, and he's surprised the heck out of the dart world. In
- 52:37that competition he finished second, I believe overall. I think that's what they
- 52:40said. But anyways, nobody expected him to get that far. So congratulations,
- 52:45Luke. You did a great job. And you're putting darts right back
- 52:49on the map, the sports map, the entertainment map, whatever map we
- 52:52want to call it falls under a different category maybe for some people, and
- 52:57it's like playing cards too, obviously with some people referring that as a sport.
- 53:02I'm happy for him. A good, good going young man. You've
- 53:06been practicing, I'm sure your whole life, and what an achievement at only
- 53:09sixteen years old. Good job, all right, Candy, What can you
- 53:15say? A sixteen year old that's competing at such a high level. Awesome,
- 53:21great for him. I mean, it's nice to see youth get so
- 53:30involved with one sport and perfect their craft and have fun with it. Kudos
- 53:37to him. May he have a good career in darts. Do I follow
- 53:43it as much? Noted I used to play darts? Sure, was it
- 53:45fun, of course, So kudos to him. Good job. All right,
- 53:52turn over to Joe. We're talking about darts. You bet seriously at
- 54:00a sixteen year old? A sixteen year old. Listen. Back in the
- 54:05day when we had three guys on Sideline Sports before we edited Dave, we
- 54:09used to talk about, what's that stupid game with the bead bag? You
- 54:14throw it at a whole cornhole? That's what It's fine? This ain't sports.
- 54:19Keep that getting out of here. Who cares? You know what.
- 54:22I'll go out there play darts against the catal beata, But I don't care.
- 54:24It's we're not talking darts. Oh I'll tell you what. So here
- 54:30we go on live broadcast. Here that JBL is is going out on the
- 54:34limb and challenging a darts guy. Well, you know what, JBL,

- 54:40some I'm going to incorporate more darts and corn hoole stuff in here, just
- 54:45so you can challenge everybody on the planet. How that sounds. That sounds
- 54:50like that? You know that sounded awful. That sounds like something you get
- 54:53on Epste's Island. But you know what tonight is on Sports Exchange Island?
- 55:00All right? Yeah, so go through some darks and you know, hit
- 55:05the little little bull's eye. I've done it before. It can't be serious.
- 55:10It's darks. Come on, you know. Good for heavy sixteen,

- 55:28but darks come on. Well you know what, Joe? If I remember
- 55:34right, because I know at times I tend to lose my memory. Okay,

- 55:45four. Will take a little few more days for me to get used to

- 56:16So you you contact his people, tell him anywhere, anytime. As
- 56:20long as they pay for me to get there, I will go and beat
- 56:22the kid, and we'll do it for charity. Put it on some pay
- 56:24per view. Matter of fact, m GBA sneak Pete come in February January
- 56:29twenty ninth. Make sure you're looking out for that. But we'll put it
- 56:30on there as a pay per view, and when I beat the kid,
- 56:34they take care of the charity. Let's do it, do it all right?
- 56:37Well, we'll have to talk to mister Hill and let him know that.
- 56:40You know, the MotorCity man Mount brought it up there and now we
- 56:44have a challenge to launch the network. All right, hey, JB,
- 56:46he's sixteen, it looks about forty five, so you can get him beers
- 56:50some pretty safe tape because they're not going to take his ID, so get
- 56:55it. I'll just say this, more power to the kid. I hope
- 57:00he does well. So with that said, we only have about a minute
