- 2:58to four thirty Landry Football talking Super Bowl and then of course looking ahead with
- 3:02our good friend Chris Landry, Bill Bender with a Sporting News little NFL and
- 3:06college as well. All Right, so I do feel sorry for you because
- 3:10that's a hell of a way to lose a ball game last night. I
- 3:14mean, just what did you think of the ballgame? A lot of people
- 3:16have the deal of, well, it was kind of a boring game until
- 3:20I thought it was actually a very entertaining You know me, I love defensive
- 3:23football games. I don't mind the struggle, I don't mind the punts,
- 3:27and I don't mind some turnovers. And you know, both teams are kind
- 3:30of in quicksand as Keanu Reeves would say, trying to find their way.
- 3:32Oh find your way But what was your I mean the ending, of course,
- 3:37but your thoughts of the ball game. I thought it was really good.
- 3:39I can see I can see why people would think it was boring at
- 3:46a point, because you can go back to that Patriots Ram Super Bowl back
- 3:53in twenty nineteen. For a while there there was absolutely nothing going on,
- 3:58and that's what it felt like for bit. Neither team could do anything.
- 4:01But I thought it was really good, best best one I think in a
- 4:06while. Thought the trick play was beautiful by the forty nine ers, and
- 4:11I thought at that point, I mean, they kind of had Kansas City
- 4:14where they wanted them, but they just couldn't close the door. And at
- 4:17the end of the day, I mean, Patrick Mahomes makes Patrick Mahomes plays
- 4:21and of course they get the touchdown and overtime. Travis Kelsey is an absolute
- 4:27jerk. We talked about that in our brief meeting here just a little girl.
- 4:32He showed the whole world the jerk that you've been talking about for three
- 4:35years. Yeah, it's not surprising. Why why the outrage you You haven't
- 4:42been paying that close attention to this man since twenty twenty. I mean,
- 4:46if you saw it, but he has gotten worse. Yeah, well he's
- 4:48more attention, he's been pampered more. He's in the limelight even more,
- 4:54riding Swift's coattails. I mean, he's he's in the limelight. You know,
- 4:59I went to eat after church yesterday. I'll tell you. I went
- 5:02over to the mall. I had to pick some stuff up at the outlet
- 5:03mall in Pearl Pearl City. I just got to run in and grab a
- 5:06couple of things. Swung in, got something to eating. A little food
- 5:10court there. Lady comes in with her family. Looked like a sweet group
- 5:13of people, but she had on a T shirt and it was one of
- 5:15those I'm pulling for Kel's Swift's boyfriend. Like I saw two or three of
- 5:21those yesterday. But anyway, all of that to say is that Travis Kelsey's
- 5:27just a jerk. He's just a bad guy. I don't think he's a
- 5:30good dude. I really don't. And that pulling Andy Reid around like that,
- 5:33I mean right there on national television. I mean I get that coaches
- 5:38and players sometimes get heated, but again, like you said, what was
- 5:41he upset about? And Reid was just standing there like focused on the game,
- 5:45And here comes Kelsey, ripping him around and all up in his face.
- 5:48I just he lost me there, lost me six hour one eight five
- 5:57three, seven seven six. All right, let's see here. Let me
- 5:59get to started here on some notes and tell you where we're headed this week
- 6:04real quickly, Joel lot Jake, Did Kermit Davis ever get a quality win
- 6:10at ole Miss? And if so, what team did he beat? New
- 6:13coach Chris Beard has got all Miss back on the map regarding men's hoop hoops.
- 6:16He's got a quality Uh, he's got a quality win yet at ole
- 6:19Miss? Or has he got a quality win? Yeah? I would say
- 6:23the Memphis win is definitely a quality win. And we'll talk some basketball.
- 6:26We'll get into the schedules for this week. I don't know that Kermit ever.
- 6:29I'd have to go back and look, it doesn't I don't remember a
- 6:30quality win that he had. But you're right, I mean, Chris Beard
- 6:33has ole Miss basketball headed in the right direction for sure. He's a guy
- 6:38that you know, if he gets ole Miss to the tournament, which I
- 6:41would have to say today that he will, there's gonna be a raise.
- 6:45You're gonna need to pay the guy because other teams will come calling, speaking
- 6:48of rebels, but not necessarily all all miss rebels. Eli Manning over the
- 6:53weekend responds to whether Arch Manning should transfer with quinn Ewers returning to Texas,
- 6:59and Eli had this to say about arch Manning. He says, quote,
- 7:02he picked Texas because that's where he wants to be, That's where he wants
- 7:05to play football. He likes coach Starkejian and his offense and what they're doing.
- 7:10Obviously, I think the plan was yours would maybe go to the NFL,
- 7:15but he's there. It's another year for Arch to mature, learn the
- 7:18offense, get bigger and stronger in the weight room, and always be prepared
- 7:23to play. You never know what's going to happen. And I think that's
- 7:26the way you got to look at it, right. I mean, too
- 7:28many players do not look at it that way. The Mannings are going to
- 7:30look at it that way, and I think that's that's a great way to
- 7:34answer that. Also, the Seattle Seahawks over the weekend are hiring Washington offensive
- 7:41former Washington offensive coordinator who was going to be the OC at album, Ryan
- 7:44Grubb. Kalyn de Bord takes another hit there as he loses his oc to
- 7:50Seattle, who heads back from Washington Seattle, the Washington Huskies to Tuscalousa for
- 7:57a cup of coffee, back to Seattle for the n RES dog. Would
- 8:01it be? Wouldn't you be upset if you had to deal with Taylor Swift
- 8:05every day? Told you the NFL wasn't going to let her lose, And
- 8:09of course there is a lot of that. Hey, how did you rate?
- 8:13Well? First off, did you stay at your super Bowl party the
- 8:16whole game or did you leave early? Well? Game, okay, I'm
- 8:20proud of you. So the kids weren't so bad? Well, no,
- 8:24because here's what I forgot existed. I'm thinking back to back when you watched
- 8:35a Super Bowl and there were people gathered and people sat together in the same
- 8:41room, and you didn't have phones and tablets. Forgot those existed. Those
- 8:48kids ain't talking to you, ain't even talking to each other. They're in
- 8:52that They're buried in that phone I got. I did get angry at one
- 8:58point though, because his neighbor Pets Saints. Bry's neighbor that came over,
- 9:03he only brought one kid. Okay, so I was told they're going to
- 9:07be two or one kid. But she was on the phone entire time,
- 9:11looking in the phone, in the phone and the guy we're talking before the
- 9:16game and all this stuff. And the first question we were trying to figure
- 9:22out was all right, what do you think is gonna be the first play?
- 9:26Call? Here? And he then asked his daughter. She was ten.
- 9:31He says, so, and so, who do you think? What
- 9:33do you think is gonna be the first play? This girl didn't even look
- 9:35up from her phone, told her dad don't know, don't care, don't
- 9:43know, don't care, don't know, don't care. But anyway, and
- 9:46they actually left. I don't even know. I can't remember if the game
- 9:50had even started. They came over and ate and then left. Wow,
- 9:56So it was really only me Saints Bro, his girlfriend and his kid.
- 10:03And his kid was buried in an iPad most of the time. So I
- 10:09forgot those things existed, and I forgot how much attention they take from the
- 10:16kids. Oh yeah, yeah, they stay buried in them. So you
- 10:20rate the Super Bowl halftime show? What a b C D E F?
- 10:24Where do you put it? Eh D? I was gonna say, see
- 10:33it's I mean, it was it was just like who was last year?
- 10:39Oh, it was just like Rihanna Rihanna was last year. It was extremely
- 10:45pointless. It was just there. I see it. It made zero impact
- 10:52it it was just something. It was just something that was there. And
- 10:56your favorite the commercials, you rate them A, B, C, D
- 10:58E F. I'll go with a I'll go with a C plus. This
- 11:05was there were some there were some good things in there, very good.

- 12:43get Bill Bender and Chris Landry as we move along. This Ryan Grub
- 12:50story. I don't know if you saw this or not coming out of the
- 12:52Seattle Times. Interesting details that was all times on Grubs and Scott Huff not
- 13:00joining the Alabama staff, including the closing of the thirty day transfer portal window.
- 13:05It says quote through these the Seahawks had interest in Grub from the start.
- 13:09One reason for waiting to make the higher official was to allow a thirty
- 13:15the thirty day transfer window at Alabama for players in ender the portal to pass.
- 13:18So it seems like a little bit shady, shady gravy going on there
- 13:24from the Seattle Seahawks to the coaches and more. All right, a lot
- 13:28of stuff on college football over the weekend. FanDuel put out a lot of
- 13:31early wind totals and conferences. I found this interesting, as you know,
- 13:37really have pulled together a lot of really good data as we get the hour
- 13:39glass ready to go and kind of parting that kind of see what it looks
- 13:45like compared to Vegas. We'll get into some of that. Shadoor Sanders though,
- 13:48on the twenty twenty four NFL Draft quote, I'm biased, but I
- 13:52don't see a quarterback that's better than me. I don't see a quarterback that
- 13:56went through as much adversity as me, that had four different O season four
- 14:01years, coming from an HBCU to a Power five, having having a real
- 14:07pressure on me. A lot of people don't understand that's a lot more adversity
- 14:11than you think. Just even being the son of Dion Sanders, you put
- 14:13any of those guys in my situation, they're not doing what I do.
- 14:18Beaver your thoughts on shoud or Sanders as he I don't know why I didn't
- 14:22go to the NFL. Then of course we know I didn't go to the
- 14:26NFL. You come back and you play one more year. It's a crowded
- 14:30field. It's not as crowded or at least doesn't seem to be next year
- 14:35at the top. So if he comes back and has a really big year
- 14:37at Colorado, then he likely will be one of the top two quarterbacks off
- 14:41the board in the twenty twenty five draft. But I find that interesting is
- 14:46shoudroor Sanders kind of takes a podshot at some of the field going in this
- 14:52this this class, we'll get to some of the SEC win totals. We've
- 14:56got wind totals on all the big conferences, and we'll we'll dive into some
- 15:00of that. First, let's go to DJ DJ welcome in. Hey,
- 15:03thanks Jake. I'm gonna tell you something I learned a long time ago,
- 15:07and I'm gonna say this to Lebron and Shadeur. If you are having to
- 15:11tell people years ago, you're probably not the goat. Okay, you know,
- 15:18if Chador is having to tell people he's the number one draft pick,
- 15:22he's not the number one draft pick. You know what I'm saying. Sure,
- 15:26and Uh, let me ask you this is it too soon? Is
- 15:31what too soon? My home is best quarterback I've at the same play and
- 15:35I'm not a Kansas City fan, but he's the best of Brady and his
- 15:41prime, my town in is prime, Elway in his prime, Marino in
- 15:48his prime. Uh, Manning in his prime. Who am I leaving out?
- 15:52Oh? There's I mean there's several I get, I get where you're
- 15:54going here. Now. I don't think it's too soon. I mean you
- 15:56could definitely make that argument, and that that argument will contain you to you
- 16:00know, build as he continues to play, and of course they'll be the
- 16:03favorites for next year if they already are. And Donald, I mean,
- 16:07I don't think it's too soon to have that argument for sure or even make
- 16:11that Cat. I mean, he's no doubt a bona fide I mean,
- 16:15top one to two quarterback ever to ever play. He's unbelievable as far as
- 16:18a field general. He doesn't get rattled. He just lets the game come
- 16:22to him, even if it's like last night, it took you know,
- 16:26three quarters and he got you know going. They stayed in the game,
- 16:29their defense kept on in the game, and then he closed it out.
- 16:33It was amazing. I'll tell you, what do you think about your Chip
- 16:36Kelly higher I think you know from a well it's It's very interesting to me
- 16:41because on several reasons, what Kenny coach absolutely can coach. He understands offense.
- 16:48It's a little different than the Bobby Petrino to Texas A and M deal.
- 16:52And I only bring that up is because you got two head coaches there
- 16:55on the same staff. You know, Chip Kelly visibly and publicly frustrated with
- 17:00college football in the way it is run. If egos can be put aside,
- 17:03I think that, you know, I think that this definitely could work
- 17:07for pro housetak. I was not aware to I was doing recent You know
- 17:11him and urban Meyer have a long time connection. Did you know that,
- 17:15Yes, I was not aware of that. Here's something concerns me and I'll
- 17:19let you go after this. Jim Kelly is sixty. Okay, There's no
- 17:26doubt he's a good play car. In fact, I think he's a better
- 17:29play caller for college than bell O'Brien would have been. But does he have
- 17:33the drive to do what it takes to be an assistant in terms of recruiting,
- 17:37handling the portal or are you just getting a play caller and you're losing
- 17:42that, you know what I'm saying. So that's what concerns me. I
- 17:47like to hire. I think it's probably better than bell O'Brien. But anyway,
- 17:49I love you, show man, thanks so much, appreciate it.
- 17:52Six or one eight nine seven one zero five to nine. I don't know
- 17:55that they're going to demand a whole lot of recruiting, and I don't know
- 17:57this to be true out of at Ohio State. Probably play calling duties for
- 18:03sure, and you know, stuff inside the building, But I don't know
- 18:07that he's going to be beating the roads trying to find players the real unnamed
- 18:11Texas. This was two days before heading to Seattle. Grub I'm your aunt
- 18:17new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb at the Red Elephant Club and this was in bryant
- 18:22Any Stadium. D X says that the picture that the infamous picture Kelsey and
- 18:32Andy Reid says their besties and then a paramount outdoor living. The halftime show
- 18:36has been a disappointment ever since the Janet Jackson slip. Becker Tech all right,
- 18:42sec Win totals. This is from FanDuel do with it as you wish.
- 18:48Alabama nine and a half wins. That's where FanDuel has Alabama right now.
- 18:53For the twenty twenty four football season. Arkansas five and a half wins,
- 18:59had Auburn at seven and a half, Florida five and five and a
- 19:03half, Georgia ten and a half, Kentucky six and a half, LSU
- 19:07nine and a half, Mississippi State at four and a half. They have
- 19:11Missouri at nine and a half, Oklahoma seven and a half, Ole Miss
- 19:17nine and a half, South Carolina five and a half, Tennessee eight and
- 19:19a half, Texas ten and a half, Texas A and M eight and
- 19:23a half, and Vanderbilt two and a half. So your top two,
- 19:26we're gonna be Georgia and Texas, followed by Alabama and then Missouri and Ole
- 19:33Miss. That's your top ones. And you know, I feel pretty confident
- 19:38after doing a lot of buzzwork on this stuff over the weekend looking at some
- 19:44stuff. I have Georgia as the number one team in the SEC, and
- 19:48I don't think there's no surprise. Texas is the number two team, Alabama,
- 19:53then Ole Miss, LSU, and Tennessee. So it kind of parrots,
- 19:57where FanDuel has their wind totals and in the order Tennessee, Oklahoma,
- 20:03Missouri, Auburn, Texas, A and M Kentucky, Florida, Mississippi State,
- 20:07South Carolina, Arkansas, and Vanderbilt. That's the order that I have
- 20:11them right now in a pre spring power ratings of sort. But right now
- 20:18to me, it looks like it's Georgia and Texas and then Alabama, Ole,
- 20:23miss and LSU and then even Tennessee right there together six o one eight
- 20:27nine seven one zero five nine. If you want to give us a call
- 20:30on the the lone roofing callal line other stuff that's out there. Big ten
- 20:33win totals. Just to look at this and this kind of also parrots.
- 20:37The two biggest in the Big ten is going to be Ohio State in Oregon
- 20:41both at ten and a half ten and a half. Fandual has them,
- 20:45Michigan and Penn State at nine and a half, USC at seven and a
- 20:48half, along with Washington, Nebraska, Iowa, Maryland all at seven and
- 20:52a half, and then he got Wisconsin at six and a half, Rutgers,
- 20:56Northwestern Michigan State, UCLA, Illinois, Indian in a five and a
- 21:00half, Minnesota four and a half, and then pur do it at four
- 21:03and a half. And that would make sense to because the Big Ten is
- 21:07kind of split now, at least going into this year. You've got two
- 21:10really really good ones at the top, Ohio State and Oregon. Michigan's going
- 21:14to take a step back Penn State until they showed that they can beat somebody
- 21:19that they're not supposed to beat. They're going to beat everybody they're supposed to
- 21:22beat and then lose to the two or three teams they're not supposed to beat.
- 21:26But and then you've got a smorgas board of teams right there in the
- 21:27middle. I mean that USC, Washington, Nebraska, Iowa, Maryland,
- 21:33Wisconsin group. They're all going to kind of cannibalize themselves in the Big Ten.

- 22:48Inside the Ameericstar Casino Studios on a Monday Monday. Monday Monday, and
- 22:53if you go to Ameristarcasino dot com for sized Ficksburg, go over here to
- 22:57the NFL tab and you've already got the AFC champion for the year. You
- 23:03can get in on surprise Chiefs out in front plus three fifty three and a
- 23:07half to one, Buffalo five to one, and get my Dolphins at eleven
- 23:11to one. I do not feel good about that NFC champion right now.
- 23:15Still the forty nine ers plus two to twenty five, followed by the Detroit
- 23:18Lions and the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles. Who's going to catch San
- 23:23Francisco. That's the big question, because I still feel like San Francisco pound
- 23:30for pound, is the best team in the NFC. And I don't think
- 23:33that Detroit or Dallas or Philly or the Packers or the Rams or any of
- 23:40these teams are close. That seems to be the best organization, the best
- 23:44coaches. And look again, you saw the two best teams last night,
- 23:48and it'll be interesting to see if anybody can catch. I think the Chiefs,
- 23:52believe it or not, have a tougher road moving forward, just because
- 23:57it seems to be a little more convoluted in the AFC. And of course,
- 24:02if you look at the Super Bowl for next year already out, and
- 24:04I'll like to you the forty nine Ers are actually the favorites five to one,
- 24:07followed by the Chiefs at seven to one, and then of course you
- 24:10go Bills, and then the Bengals are getting run at as the fourth best
- 24:14at ten to one. Let's go to my lone roof and col along I
- 24:17got swifty Matt, Swifty Matt, Happy Monday. The big question is and
- 24:23I had this debate earlier with somebody, what's bigger the NFL or Taylor Swift.
- 24:32That's a legitimate question, Jake. Well before this season, i'd have
- 24:37told you the NFL, like I don't know enough about it. We have
- 24:41do we have numbers? I mean that does that take a couple of days
- 24:47or what we could probably get our beaver? Do you know how popular is
- 24:51Taylor Swift like overseas? Is she? No? I'm what was the viewing
- 24:56numbers from from the game? The what world wide? Well, look,
- 25:00world wide Taylor Swift figure. I don't even argue that she's a bigger brand
- 25:04worldwide. I mean, I know a lot of your callers are like totally
- 25:08disagreeing with that, but I don't think you can argue world watts. But
- 25:12I'm curious, like, people watch this game yesterday, I think nomination Yeah,
- 25:18absolutely, I mean I will be interested to see the overall numbers,
- 25:22the viewing numbers from the National Football League when they come out from bia Nielsen
- 25:26and I you know, if we see a massive spike from last year,
- 25:30which I intended to be a lot of that you can attribute probably to the
- 25:33Taylor Swift fan that wouldn't have watched this game anyway. I would say it
- 25:38has to be the highest view television program of all time. Yes, I
- 25:42think so. But the most important thing that we all want to know is
- 25:48did you eat the peanut butter and bacon sandwich? Yeah? I fixed some.
- 25:56You must not been checking in with us last week. I have been.
- 25:59I was out, did you cook it chrispy? Though? Yes?
- 26:02Yes, yes, yes, and okay, so Beaver rated it a six
- 26:06out of ten? What and I rated it about a six or seven out
- 26:10of ten. Now here's the way I did it. I had just crunchy
- 26:12peanut butter. That's what he wanted, so that's what he got. Bacon
- 26:17I had to kind of play with it or put two slices on it,
- 26:18and I was like, well, there's not enough bacon. Then we stacked
- 26:21the bacon on it, and I just did it on a honey wheat bread.
- 26:23So that's the way I did it. You gotta it's got to be
- 26:26extra crispy and then some bunny bread with no crust. It's fantastic, six
- 26:30out of ten. I mean, I'm won't sprout anyway. Fantastic game NFL
- 26:37is hitting home runs because college football is just throwing up all over itself.
- 26:41What the hell is Chip Kelly doing? I mean, what is this world
- 26:45turn? Are you going to start? Let me ask this, Jake,
- 26:48Are you going to start? Are you going to start producing bow show in
- 26:49the morning? See it? Thanks? Six out of one eight nine seven
- 26:55one zero five nine. Bunny bread, Beaver? Do you like bunny bread?
- 26:59Bunny bread is good. I didn't put it on bunny bread. I
- 27:00put it on the honey wheat bread, the honey wheat bread. All right,
- 27:04let me jump back into well. First off, possum neck Joe,
- 27:10he said, could care less about the halftime show. Would love it if
- 27:15Casey waived Kelsey. He's nothing without Pat, there's there was not a streaker
- 27:22at the super Bowl. I have streaked. You have to be totally naked,
- 27:29Joe. Where have you streaked? Have you streaked a sporting event before?
- 27:32Have you been tackled by security? All right, look in at some
- 27:34of these other wind totals. The acc win totals are out be a FanDuel,
- 27:41and look, these aren't going to change a whole lot between now and
- 27:44kickoff, So you might as well go ahead and get on in here.
- 27:47Clemson at nine and a half, Florida State nine and a half. In
- 27:49the Miami Football Hurricanes nine and a half. I'm gonna come back to that,
- 27:55Louisville at eight and a half, n C State eight and a half,
- 27:57North Carolina eight and a half, SMU seven and a half, Virginia
- 28:00Tech seven and a half. You got Cow six and a half, Duke
- 28:03Syracuse six and a half, Georgia Tech, Pitt five and a half,
- 28:07Boston College Virginia four and a half, along with the wake Forest born and
- 28:11half Stanford three and a half. And I said we'll come back to that.
- 28:12It's because I was really in this acc stuff over the weekend with us
- 28:19my number one team right now, and again this will get tightened up even
- 28:23tighter. Miami a couple points better in Florida State, the Hurricane. This
- 28:30is their year, if they're going to have that year. I cannot believe
- 28:33I'm saying this. And how good are they in retrospect to the top teams
- 28:37like around the country. If I go over here and look at a way
- 28:41too early, where did the where did my poll go? Hold on too
- 28:45many tabs on this spreadsheet, Let's see pole, pole, there we go.
- 28:51So Georgia is gonna They're gonna be number one in the AP. They're
- 28:55gonna be number one of the coaches. They're number one in the Spring Prior
- 28:57power Pole, Oregon it to a high three, Texas, Alabama, Penn
- 29:00State, Ole Miss at seven, Miami at eight, and based on these
- 29:07numbers, if if Miami was playing Georgia on a neutral field, they'd be
- 29:11about a ten point underdog. Are you ready to get on this Miami Hurricane
- 29:15bandwagon? We gotta we gotta find somebody. I mean, we got to
- 29:21pick up I'm not picking Miami. That's not the Michigan pick of this year.
- 29:25I'm just saying they look really really good. That's all I'm saying.
- 29:29Of course, Florida State is right there too. So Florida State is right
- 29:32there in the ACC with everything they've done in the transfer portal, recruiting and
- 29:37more. Clemson is third. They just they seem like a I don't know
- 29:42if they just they seem like they're going backwards. N C I will tell
- 29:45you what. N C State just continues to live at eight nine wins.
- 29:52Nobody ever talks about NC State thereforeth Louisville five, North Carolina Virginia Tech,
- 29:56Kyle and SMU and then Georgia Tech. You know, I was looking at
- 30:00these quarterbacks too in this transfer portal and kind of really pulling a lot of
- 30:04stuff on quarterbacks over the weekend. When you look at the number one quarterback
- 30:10in college football in twenty twenty four, it's going to be likely Dylan Gabriel
- 30:15at Oregon. And when you look at what his body of work, what
- 30:19he's done pops off the page. Analytically, it pops off the page.
- 30:25Number two. I never would have thought this. Chandler Rogers University of cal
- 30:33Transfer portal, quarterback out of North Texas. He's put up monster numbers that
- 30:38nobody's talked about. He is at Cale. Now that doesn't mean he's going
- 30:41to take Kyle to go win the ACC but just humor me. Number two.
- 30:45Number three, Shador Sanders, your guy. He's better than any quarterback
- 30:48in the last ten years. If you don't believe it, ask him,
- 30:51he'll tell you. Number four Grayson McCall. It's hardbly if he's still playing
- 30:56football. He seems like he's played college football for twenty years. He was
- 31:00at Coastal Carolina, he's at NC State. Your guy, Drew Aller,
- 31:06Penn State, Preston Stone, SMU, cam Raising, Utah. You know
- 31:11we forget kJ. Jefferson is at you Central Florida. I bet you Gus
- 31:15Malson does some good stuff with him. He just seems like he fits that
- 31:19Gus Maleson offensive mold. That could be big for them in the Big twelve,
- 31:25really really big. And of course you got Jayleen Milroe camp. What
- 31:29is it? Why are you look at me like that? I'm so con
- 31:33that now you said, I bet Gus Malzon does big things with him,
- 31:37But I've heard you say multiple times Gus Malson messes quarterbacks up, he does
- 31:45well, how did you arrive at this? Then one year he can do
- 31:51a lot and then it goes backwards. Jarrett Stidham when he came over from
- 31:56is it Baylor? Think he was at Baylor, came to Auburn his first
- 32:00year, he did really good. The second year he went and then he
- 32:05got out. Every year it's the second year. So the fact that kJ
- 32:08is the closest thing now John Rice Plumbling a little bit different deal. He's
- 32:14not nearly as big as as Jefferson, but closest thing to Cam Newton.
- 32:16That he will have had since Cam Newton, believe it or not, not
- 32:21putting KG and Cam in the same platform, but the closest thing to him,
- 32:25I think the way that he did now if he had him for four
- 32:29years. Yeah, but he does mess up quarterbacks. One year he'll be
- 32:32all right. He'll be all right. Six R one eighty five three seven
- 32:36seven six. That is a couple of Milling's text signed real quick for going
- 32:38to break RESDG. How is Ole Miss not winning it all next year?
- 32:42Anything less than a championship in Kiffin should be fired. A lot of buzz
- 32:45around Ole Miss, a lot of buzz. I have them number seven in
- 32:49my pre Spring Top twenty five pre Spring Top twenty five. Are you ready
- 32:57to jump on the Ole Miss bandwagon? Not ready to do it? Do
- 33:01you think they make the playoff today? Do you think they make the playoff?
- 33:05You? You can change your opinion between now in the season twenty five
- 33:07times? Hm hm hmm. Yeah. I guess seems like everybody makes is

- 34:44segment. We're going to take on all things super Bowl in little college and
- 34:47talk a little football with Chris. Let's see here big twelve win totals what
- 34:53I was talking about, the Big twelve. You know, Big twelve could
- 34:55be the funnest league to watch this year in college football, top to bottom.
- 35:00It could be the wildest lead league to watch. Now you gotta have
- 35:05one champion where they get two teams in the playoff. I mean, just
- 35:07look at this, Kansas State by Fanduels getting the biggest win total share nine
- 35:10point five, followed by Utah, Arizona and Kansas and Texas Tech, along
- 35:15with Central Florida eight point five, Iowa State seven point five, Oklahoma State
- 35:22seven point five, TCU seven five, West Virginia six five, Baylor,
- 35:28Cincinnati, Colorado five and a half, Arizona State five and a half or
- 35:34four and a half BYU and Houston four and a half, Colorado five and
- 35:37a half today over under under. You know, when I look at go
- 35:46to the Big twelve, because again I worked through a lot of this this
- 35:49weekend and it's not complete, but it's a lot closer than we had it.
- 35:54Big twelve pre Sprit Spring Power ratings, that kind of pairrot. It's
- 36:00a lot of this again, Utah Central Florida TCU right there at the top.
- 36:06But I have Colorado A's fourth, believe it or not. Fourth.
- 36:10Now, a lot of that is you can make an argument Shoudoor Sanders is
- 36:15the best quarterback in that league. Now, there's not as many big top
- 36:22to bottom quarterbacks in the Big twelve. Is what they're wearing the Pac twelve
- 36:24this past year. Josh Hoover, let me do this. Hold on,
- 36:28I didn't let me do this real quick. Let me sort this to make
- 36:32sure I'm telling you this correctly. That is going to be v which one
- 36:40is that hold on? Largest value? Let's see, all right, so
- 36:51your top quarterback is going to be Shodoor Sanders, the best quarterback in the
- 36:55Big twelve. Then you go Cam Rising, kJ Jefferson, Noah Fafitta from
- 37:02Arizona. And I mean you got some good ones. Iowa State, I
- 37:07mean, rock O Becked, he's back and he had a pretty big year.
- 37:12Garrett Green from West Virginia. I mean there's some good quarterbacks in this
- 37:14league. Baylor Di Kwon Finn he's a transfer. I mean there's some really
- 37:19good quarterback. This will be a fun league. I'll tell you this is
- 37:21going to be the wild Wide West, so to speak. When you're talking
- 37:24about what's going on with the Big twelve. All right, let's see here.
- 37:30Also, unnamed Texter says the thing about guys like Sanders is they would
- 37:35rather look good and lose than look bad and win. Do you think that's
- 37:39true with Shure? I think that. I think that seems to be fairly
- 37:44accurate. On three dot com way too early pre spring top twenty five,
- 37:50they have Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas, and Alabama and All
- 37:53Miss at number six, followed by Notre Dame, Michigan, Penn State,
- 38:00and Missouri. All right, so here's the question for Allle miss. They're
- 38:05getting as much pub, probably more pub than they've ever gotten at least in
- 38:07the last thirty years preseason. That's going to continue to build on itself.
- 38:14Is this sustainable or is this a one hit wonder? Is it just this
- 38:20year because Dart's gone After this year coming up, a lot of these guys
- 38:24are gonna be gone. Do you think have they arrived? Are they a
- 38:30player in the game moving forward? He's got them as a one year wonder,
- 38:37and that's a fair question. Is ole miss a one year wonder or
- 38:43have they arrived? We'll get to a updated mock draft with quarterbacks. Also,
- 38:50Patrick Mahomes nearly gave up football to focus on baseball in high school.
- 38:52I didn't want to get to this story. Quote. I didn't even think
- 38:55I'd be playing football in college. It's crazy to think life takes you directions
- 38:59you don't expect. So that was Patrick Mahomes talking about he dead gum near
- 39:02gave up football to play baseball. Also, did you see this about your
- 39:08forty nine ers? I thought this was interesting. Multiple forty nine er players
- 39:12admitted they didn't know the NFL overtime rules last night. Quote. I didn't
- 39:16even realize the playoff rules were different than overtime. I assumed you just want
- 39:21the ball to score a touchdown and win. We had not talked about it.
- 39:25What do you think about that? That's kind of shocking to me that
- 39:30an NFL team would not have addressed overtime rules in the context of, you
- 39:37know, it's different than the regular season. So that is out there as
- 39:39the forty nine ers are the players are admitting to that. Also, college
- 39:44basketball ap top twenty five after the weekend, ucon number one perdue to Houston,
- 39:49three, Marquette four, Arizona five. Some notables here a Tennessee at
- 39:52eight, South Carolina eleven, Auburn thirteen, Alabama fifteen. You've also got
- 39:58Kentucky at twent two. Gator Matt only a one year dearfault deal for ole
- 40:05Miss because their coach will be in Gainesville after next year, So Gator Matt
- 40:09already has Lane Kiffin to Florida after this year. I don't know the Billionnaper's
- 40:19gonna make it. Maybe somebody over there. It definitely maybe somebody, and
- 40:22real quick when you talk about basketball. Updated SEC basketball standings after the weekends.
- 40:27South Carolina and Alabama both nine and two in the league tied for number
- 40:30one, Auburn eight and three, Tennessee seven and three, Florida and Kentucky,
- 40:35as well as Texas A and M at six and four, ole Miss
- 40:37five and five, Missisippi State five and six, LSU four and six,
- 40:42Georgia four and seven, Arkansas, Vanderbilt and Missouri round out the conference standings,
- 40:49and you look two for six eight nine. Mississippi State would be the
- 40:52ninth team at least if you go by the rankings, I know it's a
- 40:55little bit more detailed with ken palm and strength of scape and all this kind
- 41:00of stuff. But right now nine and I think you gotta make the cut
- 41:04right there. That's that's the deal. And if you look at South Carolina's
- 41:08won seven in a row, they're on a seven game winning streak headed into
- 41:12this week. Some other streaks that are out there. Texas A and M's
- 41:15on a three games streak. Dogs are on a two game streak. That's
- 41:19Misissippi State Georgia. The other Dogs have lost five straight. In poor Missouri,
- 41:23they've lost eleven straight basketball games. They have lost eleven straight as they
- 41:30turn into this week six hour one eight eight, five three, seven,
- 41:34seven six. You can text the program also six hour one eight nine seven
- 41:37one zero five to nine if you want to give us a call on them,
- 41:38a one roofing call the line. We'll have Chris Landry coming up and
- 41:42the next segment we'll go thirty minutes talking all kinds of good stuff with Chris,
- 41:45get his thoughts on the game and everything that happened in that ballgame.
- 41:50Of course, is now we turn our attention to the off season. Also,
- 41:52the Steelers and quarterback Mitchell Trubisky have decided to mutually part. Wet Coats
- 41:59are guys picking to Jackson from college football to the NFL to high school football.

- 42:58Chris. Welcome in, sir. How's it going. I'm doing good,
- 43:00Jack? How you doing? Little Melan Piley? Now that football's over,
- 43:05but I got too much work with draft preparation and everything that it'll be
- 43:09here before you know it, when we're kicking it off again. Oh,
- 43:13there's no doubt about it. There's so much to continue to talk about and
- 43:15get into, and before we get to some of the specifics, just kind
- 43:19of your thought of the game. I know, you know if you depending
- 43:22on who you talk to. And it's such a weird world of football watching
- 43:27that we're in, because you know, for me, this is take on
- 43:29this. I can sit down and watch a defensive football game and be highly
- 43:32entertained. If it's a ten to seven ball game, I can be highly
- 43:36entertained. I heard a lot of chatter last night where I was at zero
- 43:40zero score, you know, after one, ten to three, after two,
- 43:44and people kind of wan, wow, this is this game is so
- 43:45boring. I didn't look at it that way. Now, obviously you talk
- 43:49about the finish in the fourth quarter, in the overtime, but your thoughts
- 43:52of the overall performance that you saw last night. And I thought it was
- 43:57a well played game. I thought I thought both defenses really caused a lot
- 44:01of problems upfront for protections and in causing problems in the run blocking scheme for
- 44:10both offenses. I think in Super Bowl as you sometimes are a little bit
- 44:15cautious, and I think that contributes to some of it. And yeah,
- 44:20just a lot of people just they only like scoring. I'm with you to
- 44:24me, when you score points, it should matter, it should be difficult,
- 44:28it shouldn't be easy. I don't want to watch, you know,
- 44:31a football version of an NBA regular season game, particularly in a big moment.
- 44:37I think that a couple of things that just jump out at me.
- 44:39And I believe this over years and years and being in the Super Bowl,
- 44:45that it heightens everything. So you know, the bigger the moment, the
- 44:51more mistakes will cost you. Because obviously in the playoffs you're playing better teams.
- 44:58For one two, you know, the game is, you know,
- 45:02more important, because anytime you're in a win or go home game, it's
- 45:08different than a regular season game, which you've got next week. There is
- 45:12no next week. I thought the difference was while both made mistakes with turnovers
- 45:17early, neither defense that were the benefactor of the offensive mistakes that the other
- 45:24team were able to turn that into points early. But then I thought it
- 45:30was mistakes and I think Travis kelceon of course Patrick Mahomes in the second half
- 45:37that was the difference. San Francisco. Look, it's a flute play,
- 45:44not a bad play, bad mistake, but you know, when you have
- 45:49a turnover on a punt return. That's devastating. And the next play they
- 45:53come and they get a touchdown. You miss an extra point. Now Mooney
- 45:57is not kicked great in the playoffs, but nailed a couple of big field
- 46:04goals, missed an extra point. We're not talking about the Chiefs tying it
- 46:07at sixteen sixteen. It's a seventeen to sixteen game, or you know,
- 46:12at least it's an extra point for San Francisco. That dictates things differently.
- 46:15So it's little things like that that huge because it helps to not determine the
- 46:22outcome of the game, because again you've got more games left to play from
- 46:25the time that had happened. But it affects how the game is played.
- 46:29And I thought that was the difference. Look, I thought going in Kansas
- 46:36City had an advantage in a couple of areas, including game preparation, and
- 46:42I thought San Francisco had a great game plan. I thought Steve Wilkes challenges
- 46:45defensive front. I thought the Niners defensive line played unlike it has in the
- 46:50playoffs. You've heard me for two weeks say that ain't good enough. That
- 46:53the way they played against Green Maane, Detroit is not good enough. They
- 46:58showed up and they played well, and they played their hearts out, and
- 47:01they gave themselves every chance to win. I thought Purdy did a nice job,
- 47:07you know, it was not flawless. I thought Mahomes was flustered early.
- 47:14But in the end, it's about what you do in the fourth quarter
- 47:15in close games like that. It's the adjustments that you make. I thought
- 47:21the Steve Spagnolo, who did a tremendous job generally more interior pressure affected them
- 47:28a lot. I think he you know, San Francisco is running the football
- 47:31well, and they said we can't. We can't allow that to happen.
- 47:36We got to put extra numbers and create pressure with them, run run blitzes
- 47:40and basically crowd crout of the pocket and pushed the pocket and forced brock Purty
- 47:47to make some tough plays, which he made some plays late, like he
- 47:52has done all playoffs, to bring his team back and give them a chance
- 47:54to win. But to me, it was in the end that final drive,
- 48:00Kansas City saying okay and Mahomes probably saying the ball's in my hands,
- 48:06seem the fourth down play it was his own read, but he was keeping
- 48:10it and I mean they The only thing I would say that that surprised me
- 48:15was that Bolsa crash, because you got to know, if you're San Francisco
- 48:19fourth and one, the ball ain't coming out of mahomes hands. And I
- 48:22thought his legs, Mahomes' legs was the biggest factor for him bringing his team
- 48:29back his his I don't have enough adjectives to describe how good Patrick Mahome is
- 48:37because he has that killer instinct that Michael Jordan and Tom Brady whatever, you
- 48:43know, those great that great athletes have it, that can get it done
- 48:47in the moment. Plus on top of all that, when the game is
- 48:52on the line, he's the best athlete on the field. It's not like
- 48:54Lamar Jackson athlete. He can run just as effective. He can pick up
- 48:59key yard and they just don't let him do it in the regular season.
- 49:02But when the game is on the line, that was the difference. He
- 49:07was the difference. And that's where we're sitting there talking about them. Third
- 49:10Super Bowl in five years. Just tremendous, Just a tremendous fourth quarter.
- 49:16I thought it was a well played game, and listen, I thought San
- 49:20Francisco made a couple of mistakes and it's but it wasn't a bad performance by
- 49:25any stretch. You just you just have to be near perfect or you have
- 49:29to have a guy like Patrick Mahomes to win it for you in the end,
- 49:34that was the difference. Chris Landry talking super Bowl, NFL and more
- 49:38on your radio Monday edition of the program. Make sure to find him on
- 49:40ex at Landry Football also Landry football dot com. Y'all want to stay on
- 49:44my homes for a minute. And I think you kind of kind of pointed
- 49:46it out there because looking through what he did last night in the box numbers,
- 49:51I mean, if you take away his ability to run the football last
- 49:55night, I mean this Kansas City team only rushes for about sixty four yards,
- 50:00but you look at Mahomes nine carries sixty six yards along of twenty two.
- 50:05That's on the fourth and one play, the zone read play. And
- 50:08you kind of talked a little bit about his game. Are you ready to
- 50:13start talking about best quarterback ever? Where? I mean, this book is
- 50:16not written, it it's not finished by far, it looks like for him
- 50:21yeah, I mean, Beth, yes, absolutely most accomplished. Look here's
- 50:25the thing everybody wants to make that delineation. Now, there is no comparison
- 50:32between what he's done in his short stint as a quarterback at the end versus
- 50:38anybody else. No one has done with this guy has done to this degree
- 50:43as well as he's done it to this point. There's still a lot of
- 50:45football left for him to play, and if he continues on this path,
- 50:50he's going to shatter everything. But we don't know what's going to happen.
- 50:52We don't know if that you don't win the Super Bowls by yourself, although
- 50:55if we've just talked about how he was the major difference. The team has
- 51:00to be good enough to be in a position to win, and they were.
- 51:04They didn't get to the super Bowl because of his play. They got
- 51:08to the super Bowl because they made adjustments as a team after the loss on
- 51:15Christmas to the Raiders to become more focused on the run in the defense.
- 51:21But it's not like he has to carry that team. It's just that when
- 51:23the game is on the line. I mean I literally think when I'm watching
- 51:29it, you know what I'm thinking of. I'm not thinking of a football
- 51:32player. I'm thinking of Michael Jordan running a clearout against the Jazz or someone
- 51:37else. I don't care what play. It is. Run a clear out
- 51:40and I'm going to take the final shot and it's going in. That's what
- 51:45Mahomes is. So he doesn't have to be great all the time. But
- 51:50if you are good enough to be in a position, tell me someone else
- 51:53you want in that situation more than him, Yes, even more than Brady.
- 51:59You know why because Brady would have found a way to win, and
- 52:02he beat him as well. Mahomes. That is, Brady had to do
- 52:06it differently, and he did it more consistently over a long time. We'll
- 52:10see what Mahomes will do over that. But what if I had either in
- 52:15their prime, it'd be Mahomes because in addition to doing everything at the line
- 52:19of scrimmage, all the poise, the ice water in the veins, this
- 52:22guy can take over a game with his legs. And yeah, he's unlike
- 52:29anybody I've seen in terms of this modern day game, of which you can
- 52:34do so many things improvisational plays. Take over a game athletically, he does
- 52:39things and with the same in tangibles and the arm angles, the baseball background,
- 52:45everything that allows them to do make throws that I mean, even the
- 52:49last the final play. It's a subtle thing, and I don't know if
- 52:52people notice it. Go back and look at it. His eyes are or
- 53:00in towards the middle of the field. He's holding the linebacker, and then
- 53:04he just swings it like almost no look pass, and it looks like,
- 53:07oh simple, he was uncovered. He's uncovered because his eyes took the defense
- 53:14one direction and he just flicks it with his hand like he's throwing from second
- 53:19base on a routine grounder in game over. I mean, it's very difficult
- 53:23to try to defend against this guy. Chris Landry good stuff on the Super
- 53:28Bowl. We'll got to take a time out. We'll get to more on
- 53:30that and what might lie ahead in the National Football League. You can always

- 55:00Chris Landry, Segment two on a Monday. Chris, you know when
- 55:04you look and this is just I know, we got a long way to
- 55:06go. But you know, always reference Vegas because they seem to know a
- 55:08lot. It's always right. But when you look at way too early odds
- 55:13for next year, the forty nine Ers sit at the top at five to
- 55:16one, followed by the Chiefs seven to one, the Bills, the Bengals,
- 55:21the Ravens. But let's just stop right there with the forty nine Ers
- 55:22and the Chiefs, who obviously the Chiefs back to back Super Bowl wins.
- 55:27Now, the forty nine Ers, at least at face values, seem to
- 55:30have one of the best, if not the best, organization in football.
- 55:34Do you see either one of these teams or both taking maybe a step back
- 55:37next year, or do you expect them to be in the thick of things
- 55:40again next year. Well, Kansas City is because of mahomes and they're likely
- 55:52keep the poor together. I think the Niners have a really good roster.
- 55:55Now, let me remind folks that the key of evaluator in that front office
- 56:02is left to be the general manager of Washington Commanders. It's not John Lynch.
- 56:07Kyle Shanahan makes the football decisions. I think that not next year.
- 56:10I think the Niners will be fine. And by the way, Vegas is
- 56:14wrong a lot more than people think. They had the Chiefs as underdogs all
- 56:19three games that they won, and they just put a line together that they
- 56:22think the public's gonna go for. Look, I think that the Niners are
- 56:28in good position to be back in contention. I have no interest in like
- 56:34who's gonna win that We've got free agency, we've got the draft. We
- 56:38don't know what teams are gonna lee. We may know what some of these
- 56:40teams look like. We don't know what some of the others may be able
- 56:45to do. That's gonna determine a lot. But both of these teams have
- 56:49a chance to be really good long term. I mean because of Mahomes and
- 56:54look, Andy Reich's coming back next year. But I don't know that Andy.
- 56:59Every year will be asked and is Andy coming back? So think they
- 57:01finished you. I would say this not for next year, but the challenge
- 57:07for the Niners. Not next year, but the year after. They're gonna
- 57:09have to pay Rock perty and he's gonna deserve And people will not understand this.
- 57:15I'll just say it in front. The market dictates what they're gonna get
- 57:19paid. So once he's gonna get paid amongst the very elite quarterbacks, when
- 57:23he gets his deal, whenever he gets it, it's gonna be a top
- 57:27five It's not top three quarterback in the league. Well that's think about and
- 57:32I'm not comparing the two players. Think about Dak Prescott and the Cowboys and
- 57:37think about how you put it. Now, all of a sudden, all
- 57:40the talents that they have around Party, they have Party on a rookie contract.
- 57:45So once they have and what makes them really good is that they're well
- 57:50rounded, the personnel they've got, They've got a really good roster. Once
- 57:53they have to put all that money into Party, then it's they're gonna have
- 57:58to hit on all their draft picks in order to stay at the same level.
- 58:04Much like you know, the Seahawks had a run when Russell Wilson was
- 58:07on a rookie contract. Once at to pay him, it started to fall
- 58:09apart. That's what the Niners are facing. But not next year. But
- 58:14going forward the Chiefs, they're going to have a fighting chance as long as
- 58:17Mahomes is there. But Andy Reid is a big part of that. He's
- 58:22a big part of the ability to develop him. And he'll benefit beyond Andy
- 58:29Reid with the development that he helped teach the young guy. But you know
- 58:32how good of a team are they're going to be around him. We see
- 58:36that tackles were not very good for the Chiefs. Got really one weapon most
- 58:40of the year in the passing game, and then two with Rice came along
- 58:45to help Kelsey and they still but they've got a great defense, had a
- 58:49great defense, Chris Jones. We'll see if he comes back. You put
- 58:52Mahomes back. They got a shot. I mean, I don't know how
- 58:55far they go, but they got a shot as long as that guy's did.
- 59:00Chris, who is at least today, Well, let me ask you
- 59:01this. Let me still on the forty nineer real quick. You mentioned that
- 59:04about party, and I was talking with somebody about that yesterday. Is you
- 59:07know, we've yet to see what he'll make and what a value to have
- 59:10him under that rookie contract right now. But Christian McCaffrey, how much how
- 59:15much life, how much Gaston the tank does he have left? Oh?
- 59:17I think he's still got a good bit now. You know, obviously shelf
- 59:21life for running backs or not talking like with the over quarterbacks of course,
- 59:24but he's still he is maybe the most complete back in the league I think
- 59:30right now, because he runs with a great deal of power that people don't
- 59:34seem to think that he has. I think he's fine. You know,
- 59:37it's just you hope that he stays healthy long term. But I think he's
- 59:42got quite a bit of tread loved on his tire. Is it still the
- 59:46AFC? Is the more I guess you could say rigorous road. I mean,
- 59:50when you're talking about Buffalo, Cincinnati, Baltimore, you look at Miami,
- 59:54you look at maybe the emergence. So we'll see what Jim Harball does
- 59:58with the Chargers verse. This is the NFC. I mean, I mean
- 1:00:00we could see maybe the Packers make another step up. We'll see what happens
- 1:00:04with the Cowboys. Can the Lions maintain? But as the AFC still waited,
- 1:00:07at least in your mind, the heaviest of the two leagues right now,
- 1:00:13yes, but again three months, six months from now, you know,
- 1:00:20how good can the Packers get? What will the Bears do? That's
- 1:00:23a pretty decent roster. There may be a year away from becoming a factor
- 1:00:29in that division. With the Lions, We'll see what Seattle can do.
- 1:00:35And I mean, you know, we've got some teams in the NFC that
- 1:00:37right now are not very good, but it's it's a league that you can
- 1:00:42get better pretty quickly, particularly if you find your quarterback. You know,
- 1:00:45if you can find your CJ. Stroud, if you're an NFC team,
- 1:00:51all of a sudden, you're pretty good. I mean, if you're Washington
- 1:00:53and you can find that guy, you know, all of a sudden,
- 1:00:57we're talking about in the year or two changing it. But yeah, I
- 1:01:00would say right now, I mean hardball, the Charges make a lot of
- 1:01:06sense, but how good are they going to be this year? They're in
- 1:01:08major cap problem, so the roster that they have is going to be hard
- 1:01:13to keep together. So let's see how well they hit on the draft will
- 1:01:15determine how good they can be. You want to talk to me in two
- 1:01:19three years. I tell you that I think the Charger is going to be
- 1:01:21pretty good in a couple of years. I think they'll be good and competitive
- 1:01:23this year. I just don't know that they're going to be the contender this
- 1:01:27year that they will be in a couple of years. So there's a lot
- 1:01:30of unknown, I guess, is what I'm saying. The Bengals are,
- 1:01:34you know, with Joe Burrow, absolutely got a chance, but he's got
- 1:01:37to stay healthy. And if he's not healthy, we can talk about it
- 1:01:40all we want. That's that's gonna be a pretty low ceiling every year if
- 1:01:46he's out for you know, half a dozen games and particularly the end of
- 1:01:51the year, they don't have much of a chance without it. Chris Landry

- 1:03:35a Monday recap in Super Bowl kind of looking ahead talking from college football,
- 1:03:38let me get caught up over here on the Cowboy Miloornies text line, Miko
- 1:03:42says, hey, does Ohio State become the favorite with Chip Kelly at offensive
- 1:03:45coordinator? I think, I mean, it can't hurt him, right.
- 1:03:49I just want to see how that pairing and we'll talk to Chris about that
- 1:03:52next week. I did not have enough time to get to that on him
- 1:03:54or with him. But speaking of Ucla, Deshaun Fosters the new head football
- 1:04:00coach of UCLA. They did that fairly quickly and he will be the new
- 1:04:04coach of UCLA. But back to Chip Kelly, I mean, I think
- 1:04:09if everything jails right for them, you know that they're going to win their
- 1:04:14line share of ball games. They're going to be in the playoff. Can
- 1:04:16they navigate the Big Ten? Win the Big Ten? Get a bye because
- 1:04:21we will start talking about that, like not just making the playoffs. Can
- 1:04:25you also get a buy because that's extremely important, Or you're going to have
- 1:04:28to play a first round game in the playoff this year? Or will you
- 1:04:30get a bye in the playoff, but I think Ohio State absolutely it is
- 1:04:35going to be one of the favorites to win the whole thing, and wouldn't
- 1:04:38be surprised to see them in the looking here, let's see David Johnson,
- 1:04:43Well, let me get to this in a second, but chall wouldn't be
- 1:04:45surprised to see them right there in the final four, right there in the
- 1:04:47end. David Johnson reps two four seven Sports reports on missappears to have strengthened
- 1:04:55its online group with portal additions, and of course there's a story out here
- 1:05:00that we will now retweet read up on how Ole Miss is. And that's
- 1:05:03another thing with Ole Miss. You look at what they have been able to
- 1:05:06do in the portal, and not just in the portal, but on the
- 1:05:10offensive line. It's extremely, extremely impressive. And of course, so we
- 1:05:15said earlier before we got Chris on, the Steelers and Mitch Trubisky have decided
- 1:05:18to mutually part ways. The sides spoke to assess the situation in Trubisky twenty
- 1:05:25nine gets a fresh start a month ago beav landing spots for Mitch Trubisky.
- 1:05:30Does it matter? Is anybody going to pick him up? That's I mean
- 1:05:32somebody will pick him up. But where does he go? What's the landing
- 1:05:39spot? New Orleans seems like a quarterback the Saints would go get where does
- 1:05:45he go? And does that mean that the Steelers could be looking? Well,
- 1:05:48I don't know if they're looking. Are they all in on Kenny Pickett?
- 1:05:53Are they going to go maybe try to find a quarterback? Questions to
- 1:05:57ponder about the Pittsburgh Football Steeler. Let's see here chief shooting ball Kiffin wouldn't
- 1:06:04take that step down? Is that a step to If Kiffin left Ole Miss
- 1:06:09to go to Florida is a step down? I don't know that it's a
- 1:06:11step that well right now, definitely all Miss is in a much better situation
- 1:06:14than Florida. But you could make an argument that the ceiling is hired at
- 1:06:18Florida, more money in Florida, better recruits in Florida, as far as
- 1:06:23you know, just doing. But it hadn't worked out for a lot of
- 1:06:25coaches. Let's see here the real unnamed texture. With Perdy losing his first
- 1:06:31Super Bowl, he joins Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, Jared Goff, and
- 1:06:34Jimmy Garoppolo as active quarterbacks that have a chance to break the streak of not
- 1:06:40winning the Super Bowl after losing their first one. I think it dates back
- 1:06:44to Lway in the nineties as the last one to do it. Does one
- 1:06:48of those quarterbacks break it? Yeah, that is a streak that's out there.
- 1:06:55Pardy Hurts, Burrow, Golf Garoppolo. I think Party is in a
- 1:07:00better situation than any of those because of the forty nine ers organization. Do
- 1:07:04you have another pick on that or do well any of them win? Intos
- 1:07:06a question because it's tough. It is tough to win super Bowls, but
- 1:07:14I think he has probably aligned the best to do that. Let me see
- 1:07:18here was that note I was looking for. I wanted to pass along.
- 1:07:28Patrick Mahomes, of course, is the MVP of the Super Bowl. He
- 1:07:30wins the Pete Roselle Trophy as the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player. Also,
- 1:07:35Chiefs owner Clark Hunt says that he fully expects Andy Reid to return next season.
- 1:07:45And speaking of Ohio State and Chip Kelly, Ohio State made the hire
- 1:07:49of Chip Kelly official quote. And here was a statement from Ohio State.
- 1:07:53We're extremely excited to have Chip and his wife Jill joining our program, said
- 1:07:58Ryan Day, his experience as a head coach at work in UCLA and the
- 1:08:00NFL will bring immediate value to our team. I'm really looking forward to reconnecting
- 1:08:04with Chip, introducing him to our staff and team, and chasing a championship
- 1:08:10together. So and he also gave thanks to Bill O'Brien. And we are
- 1:08:15one hundred and ninety four days away from kickoff in Dublin, and again Deshaun
- 1:08:21Foster named the new head football coach at UCLA. Did you see this Troutman
- 1:08:26take? That's out here? That's been circling surfacing, So if you missed
- 1:08:30it and I missed this, I don't do you remember him saying this?
- 1:08:32I don't remember. The Athletic Kansas City back on September twenty third, twenty
- 1:08:41nineteen, had this quote, Patrick Mahomes has thrown thirty six percent. This
- 1:08:45was in twenty nineteen. Patrick Mahomes has thrown thirty six percent of Troutman's career
- 1:08:49touchdowns and about eight percent of the games. Troy Aikman retweets it and said,
- 1:08:55in case you missed that, with the acronym, I see why am
- 1:08:58I talked to me when he has thirty three percent of my Super Bowl titles
- 1:09:02well, as of yesterday last night, Patrick Mahomes now has one hundred percent
- 1:09:08of Aikman's Super Bowl titles. Will we hear anything from Troy Aikman? I
- 1:09:13don't think so. Is Aikman? Is he angry? Does he come across
- 1:09:17as angry to you? He almost seems angry to me, Like there's a
- 1:09:21part of him that's kind of an angry guy. What do you think he
- 1:09:27seems? I meant comments like this, like talk to me when he has
- 1:09:30thirty three percent of my titles? Well, he does. And he's made
- 1:09:33shots before at Dallas Cowboy quarterbacks, which is understandable because he was obviously Dallas
- 1:09:41Cowboys quarterback. The Saints and forty nine ers passing him coordinator Clint Qbac have
- 1:09:46reached the deal for Qbac to be their new offensive coordinator. Sources say the
- 1:09:49top target alongside qbac quback's higher gives coach Dennis Allen a rising play caller who
- 1:09:56is coveted by several teams. So will Clint Kbiac make Derek Carr a better
- 1:10:03quarterback? All right, let's see here. Saint Louis vic I wasn't upset
- 1:10:11about the slow defensive game. Early on, I hit on a zero three
- 1:10:15square and smiled the rest of the night. Lol, Yeah, yeah,
- 1:10:19did you play any money? Did you win anything? Do anything any squares?
- 1:10:24How were your desserts? The desserts pan out? Okay, oh,
- 1:10:28desserts were delicious. You know. There was no actual bets placed. But
- 1:10:36before the game last night, I don't know what the people I was in
- 1:10:43the room with have been paying attention to off season because who started this?
- 1:10:50Can't remember who it was. But anyway, before the game, someone says,
- 1:10:58let's set an over under how many times they're gonna show Taylor Swift and
- 1:11:04then specified, okay, that not pre game. We're gonna go from kickoff
- 1:11:13to the last play of the game over under. I said twelve, and
- 1:11:19they reacted like I was crazy. They said, no, surely they're not
- 1:11:25gonna show her that much, so they they lowered it to seven. I
- 1:11:30said, okay, over so we kept count. Oh y'all got official count.
- 1:11:36I was curious because I didn't keep count how many exactly twelve? Really?
- 1:11:42Her reaction on the game winning play was number twelve, So average about
- 1:11:49three a quarter. It's about right, and that doesn't include pre game more
- 1:11:56postgame. That's just in the game. Is she done with the NFL?
- 1:12:01Is she? I mean, will she be back next year? I don't
- 1:12:02think she's coming back. No, because they're not gonna be together. No,
- 1:12:09because if Kelsey will do that in public to his head football coach in
- 1:12:13front of the world, how do you think he is behind closed doors?
- 1:12:18Oh? I've told you how. Someone thought I was joking about it one
- 1:12:25time. I'm not gonna repeat it. But I don't think that he's gonna

- 1:14:15here other news out here. I'm checking the wire over here. Ian Rappaport,
- 1:14:21who obviously has been extremely busy. Trubisky again gone after two seasons,
- 1:14:27per Mike Garfellow. The Steelers also announced this the release of punter Preston Harvey,
- 1:14:31the second in offensive line. When Chuck Wooma ORCA four Orka four.
- 1:14:38I believe he made Auburn. I think Orker four was an Auburn Tiger.
- 1:14:43And also the Cowboys and Mike Zimmer have agreed to terms. Dallas has its
- 1:14:47new defensive coordinator. Does that do anything for you, Mike Zimmer? The
- 1:14:51Cowboys are expected. Uh. This was February eighth by Pellisero too hires them.
- 1:14:57Zimber sixty seven is the third winning as head coach and Viking's history and
- 1:15:01long respected on the defensive as a defensive or defensive coordinator, defensile of the
- 1:15:06ball, his defensive prowess. They hope will he effect fix if I can
- 1:15:11speak some of the inconsistencies on a cowboy defense that was salty at times.
- 1:15:17All right, tiger bait ying Texas six or one eighty five three seven seven
- 1:15:21six, That is the cowboy Millenni's text sign tell about Troyman. Aikman comes
- 1:15:26off as a past cowboy quarterback, whiny little blank. And I got a
- 1:15:31text from our friend's a friend too that said he is better probably. I
- 1:15:35mean, look, Jerry Jones torpedoed his team. He knows it when you
- 1:15:41look at what Jimmy Johnson did with the Cowboys on the onset bringing you know,
- 1:15:45the draft that brought in Troygman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Moose
- 1:15:49Johnson, all the guys that they brought in to build what the Cowboys had,
- 1:15:55which was a dynasty of sorts. And then for Jerry Jones to kind
- 1:16:00of just tear it all all down because he wasn't the number number one guy.
- 1:16:03He wouldn't get in all the face FaceTime over here. It's amazing,
- 1:16:08how you know, you go back and we've talked about this, you you
- 1:16:10go back to Jerry Krause with the Chicago Bulls in the nineties. Uh,
- 1:16:15Jerry Jones the nineties. You know, the guys with the egos that tore
- 1:16:20down these cathedral of sports so to speak. I mean you look at Kraus
- 1:16:26tearing the Bulls down with Jordan, Pip and Rodman Grant that that the whole
- 1:16:31deal. Of of course, that's very well documented through what was it?
- 1:16:35What was it Jordan? Which what was that? ESPN? During COVID everybody
- 1:16:39watched what was that first? First first dance, not last dance, first
- 1:16:44dance, maybe it's last dance. It could have been. There was a
- 1:16:46first dance. You gotta you gotta have one day the first dance where you
- 1:16:49have the last dance. And then of course you look at what Jerry Jones
- 1:16:53did with the Cowboys, and they've never really ever recovered from it. Dexter
- 1:16:59eight man had to turn around an entire franchise. Mahomes inherited a Ferrari.
- 1:17:04Well, this is true, I mean, this is true, but I
- 1:17:06mean again, you don't apologize for the hand that you were dealt. And
- 1:17:12Mahomes has driven that ferrari, as Dexter called, I mean, done a
- 1:17:15very well, very good job as the pit guy, you know, the
- 1:17:17head guy, the driver of that machine that is the Kansas City Chiefs.
- 1:17:23All right. Shoudoor Sanders on twenty twenty four NFL quarterback draft quote, I
- 1:17:28don't see a quarterback that's better than me. Although he's eligible for the twenty
- 1:17:31twenty four NFL Draft, should or Sanders is running it back for another season
- 1:17:35at Colorado. His first year with the Buffaloes didn't necessarily go as planned,
- 1:17:40as they finished four and eight, and they're trying to turn this thing around
- 1:17:43this year. If Sanders declared for the draft this year, he thinks he
- 1:17:46would have a strong case of going towards the top of the board. In
- 1:17:50fact, he thinks he's the best quarterback available. Quote. I'm biased,
- 1:17:55but I don't see a quarterback that's better than me, he told Sports Illustrated
- 1:18:00Bryce Butler. I don't see a quarterback that went through the adversity that I've
- 1:18:04gone through four different offensive coordinators, going from an HPCU to a Power five
- 1:18:10program. I don't know how people other quarterbacks would have handled my situation,
- 1:18:15he said, But I respect their game. I respect what they're doing because
- 1:18:19to be able to be a first round draft pick, to be able to
- 1:18:23have success on the field, it takes a lot of hard work and determination
- 1:18:28and everything. So you know, again, I don't know that I necessarily
- 1:18:34believe he's better than anybody that I mean, I don't think he's better than
- 1:18:36KYLEB. Williams. I don't think he's better than Bowknicks or Michael Pennix.
- 1:18:41But I do think he's a really good quarterback, and I think that he
- 1:18:43will be one of the top ones on the board next year if he has
- 1:18:46a big year again this year. During the season, Sanders generated some draft
- 1:18:50hype. In December, ESPN's mel Kiper ranked him as the number six overall
- 1:18:55prospect on his Big Board after conference championship weekend. Next year, Sanders might
- 1:19:00not only be excuse me, might not be the only Colorado player to go
- 1:19:05towards the top of the ward. Of course, Travis Hunter is going to
- 1:19:08be listening to that as well. So he just needs to have a big
- 1:19:11year this year. And if you look like down the road, it's probably
- 1:19:14cam Ward and it's probably Shore Sanders and then some other guys as well.
- 1:19:20But again, we got to get through this draft cycle before we get to
- 1:19:24that one. Let's see here, RT Troy transferred from Oklahoma. Pretty boy
- 1:19:31UCLA scrub always thought he was the best Prima Donna. Troy is a girly
- 1:19:36man. He did transfer from Oklahoma to the UCLA. That that absolutely did
- 1:19:42happen, and I appreciate that Art Floodtown goes he's delusional and so is his
- 1:19:49brother. Well, look, it'll be There's so many storylines as you as
- 1:19:56there always are with college and the NFL in any sports season, and Colorado
- 1:20:00will again be a marketable story in the sports media business. It just will.
- 1:20:09You'll see a lot of that Colorado to the big twelve Chador to the
- 1:20:14Big twelve. Deonda the Big twelve. Can they compete for the championship in
- 1:20:17the Big twelve? What does that look like? There'll be a lot on
- 1:20:23that. Do have anything on the phones? We need to get to nothing
- 1:20:26of sorts. Okay, So, but I think the Big Twelve again is
- 1:20:30going to be your funnest conference to watch because I think it is wide open
- 1:20:34again. You take Oklahoma and Texas now you're dumping them into the SEC into
- 1:20:39that meat rider and that opens it up. I mean Utah, Central,
- 1:20:42Florida TCU. I think Colorado is going to have a nice team. Can
- 1:20:47they replace Maryland this year? They're a nice team. Colorado is a nice
- 1:20:51team. They've got some nice pieces. And I will tell you this,
- 1:20:56I mean some of the transfer portal gets that they've got, especially skill position,
- 1:20:59telling them they went out and got gotten a lot of guys on the
- 1:21:01offensive front of the defensive front. They picked up some more skill talent.
- 1:21:05They're gonna have one of the better group of receivers. They may have the
- 1:21:09best group of receivers in the Big twelve because I don't foresee Dion not playing
- 1:21:15Travis Hunter on both sides. Again. Do you think he hits the gas
- 1:21:18on that again? I mean I think he probably will. I think he'll
- 1:21:23probably play him on both sides of the ball. And the question mark is,
- 1:21:27you know, for Travis Hunter, he's kind of stay healthy. But
- 1:21:30is he going to the National Football League as a receiver or is he going
- 1:21:34as a corner or will he be a modern day slash. We brought to

- 1:23:16Super Bowl, super Bowl and peeking into next year. We'll get Bill
- 1:23:20Bender on next segment of the Sporting News and get his thoughts on the super
- 1:23:24Bowl. Also on Chip Kelly as the new offensive coordinator for Ohio State and
- 1:23:29what that might mean, Tiger bait on the Cawbo Milonie's text line. Looking
- 1:23:31at the draft class this year, fantasy football should be real fun. Next
- 1:23:35year very well could be Flowtown Ghost. He says that they can't compete for
- 1:23:44six wins. Talking about Colorado again, Draft Kings has set I believe five
- 1:23:49and a half is their win total. We went through a lot of these
- 1:23:55win totals in hour number one because FanDuel has those out. You know,
- 1:23:59if you go and look at the SEC. For instance, let me go
- 1:24:01back over here and pool the Southeastern Conference ole Miss at nine and a half
- 1:24:11along with Alabama. The two biggest are Texas and Georgia at ten and a
- 1:24:15half, Mississippi State at four and a half four and a half. So
- 1:24:21Texas A and M eight and a half, Tennessee eight and a half,
- 1:24:25South Carolina five and a half, Missouri nine and a half. So you
- 1:24:29got a lot of nines. I mean, you've got ole Miss with a
- 1:24:30nine, you know, obviously the hook LSU Texas A and M is at
- 1:24:38eight and a half. So a lot of big numbers in the Southeastern Conference,
- 1:24:42Auburn at seven and a half, Florida at five and a half,
- 1:24:45and then Colorado set at five and a half. To about Pittsburgh Steelers,
- 1:24:50they could make a splash at quarterback. According to Adams Schefter, the Steelers
- 1:24:56on the market for quarterback as they look to create competition at the position this
- 1:25:00off season. The team struggl mightily in twenty twenty three single revolving door under
- 1:25:05center, three different Steeler passers made starts, either due to injury, production,
- 1:25:12or a combination of both. No one in that trio apparently made a
- 1:25:15lasting mark on the coaching staff. Second year signal caller Kenny Pickett again the
- 1:25:19year, is the starter, going seven and five over twelve starts. He
- 1:25:23threw just six touchdowns before getting hurt midyear veteran Mitch Trubisky. Of course,
- 1:25:29he is off and running on the trading block that's already been done. And
- 1:25:32then Mason Rudolph is still there. He was the most impressive of the bunch,
- 1:25:39winning his final three starts to get the team into the playoffs. Still,
- 1:25:42a subpar performance in the wildcard round would effectively in Pittsburgh's season. Together,
- 1:25:47they combined to lead the NFL's fifth worst scoring unit at seventeen point nine
- 1:25:53points per game. With that being said, it seems the Steelers are looking
- 1:25:57for a spark. They brought in Arthur Smith to run the offense following the
- 1:26:01mid season firing of coordinator Matt Canada. And again you talk about a name
- 1:26:05that really kind of fell off the map. Remember Matt Canada when he was
- 1:26:10at LSU, big name in football, supposedly an offensive guy, in offensive
- 1:26:15guru, and that just never materialized itself. Obviously in the NFL, if
- 1:26:18you're an NFL coach, You've done some big things. But Matt Canada released.
- 1:26:24Smith's pre existing relationship with former Titans pastor Ryan Tannehill reportedly has the team
- 1:26:29expressing interest. Adding tanney Hill to the roster would seemingly put her comments a
- 1:26:34way of providing depth and mentorship to the younger picket who'd likely assumed QB one
- 1:26:40duties again this season. So it could be Tannehill could be that guy.
- 1:26:45So we'll see what happens with the Pittsburgh Steelers as they move into this offseason.
- 1:26:50Of course, we told you about the Troy Aikman comments. He does
- 1:26:54congratulate Patrick Mahomes after as snarky Super Bowl ring comment resurfaces. We went back
- 1:27:00and talked about that. Troutman today about lunchtimes, says congratulations to the Hunt
- 1:27:06family, Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and the entire Kansas City Chiefs organization.
- 1:27:11What an amazing run they are on. But this goes back to the athletic
- 1:27:15Kansas City posted this back in twenty nineteen, says, in case you missed
- 1:27:21it, quote, Patrick Mahomes is thron thirty six percent of Troutman's career touchdowns
- 1:27:26in about eight percent of the games. Trotman retweets that and responds, talk
- 1:27:31to me when he has thirty three percent of my Super Bowl titles. Well,
- 1:27:35he now has one hundred percent of his Super Bowl titles. So Troittman,
- 1:27:40though coming out and responding and giving congrats to the entire organization. Former
- 1:27:45nine year NFL linebacker claims the NFL is fake after watching the Super Bowl.
- 1:27:48We'll get to that. Also, viewers annoyed with Tony Romo for ruining winning
- 1:27:55call at the Super Bowl. NFL viewers are upset with play by playouts Tony
- 1:28:00Romo for ruining the final call on the Super Bowl. Rather than allow fans
- 1:28:03to let the moment sink in, he rambled on for thirty seconds while players
- 1:28:08celebrated on the field. The commentary took away from the incredible finish for a
- 1:28:14number of folks. Romo and Jim Natz were on the call for what ended
- 1:28:17up being an exciting Super Bowl matchup between the Niners and the Chiefs. Of
- 1:28:24course, we know we talked about the slow starting the game and how everything
- 1:28:28kind of moved along in the ballgame. The two NFL powers traded blows and
- 1:28:32I gotta go back and listen to this, but Tony Romo taking some heat
- 1:28:36on it. As one person says, I never understood that Tony Romo hate,
- 1:28:43but I get it now. As a play by play announcer, this
- 1:28:47is a pet peeve Tony. A legendary moment just happened. Either let Jim
- 1:28:51continue to talk or let trying to see how he says it's let the now
- 1:29:00sound and the visual of takeover. Okay, Sam basically just shut up.
- 1:29:03So Tony Romo last night getting a lot of heat for the way he handled
- 1:29:09the final play six O one eight eight, five three seven seven six.
- 1:29:14That is the cowbol Meloennie's text line. We will get into this. Alicia
- 1:29:17Milano, I think I got that right. She gets ripped after attending the
- 1:29:20Super Bowl. Have you paid attention to her in social media the last few
- 1:29:26weeks? Melissa? Is it Melissia Alana or Alicia Milano? She was on
- 1:29:30ex begging for people to She set up a GoFundMe for her son's travel baseball
- 1:29:35team. Clay Travis ended up actually donating money to this, saying hey,
- 1:29:42I'll help you. There was some stipulations on he was trying, you know,
- 1:29:45trying to pigeonhole her in some political stuff. But then she shows up
- 1:29:48at the Super Bowl, so people are like on her big time, like,
- 1:29:51wait a minute, how can you go to the super Bowl but you're
- 1:29:54asking the public to pay for your son's travel baseball team? Who is I
- 1:29:58don't even know who this is? Who is she? Listen, Milana?
- 1:30:01Yeah, who is this? I don't know who this is? Who's the
- 1:30:04Boss? Oh? Okay, Charmed? She's been around forever. Yeah,
- 1:30:10her stupid GoFundMe thing asking for people to pay for her sons. The goal
- 1:30:15was ten thousand. People gave her fifteen thousand. She got five thousand over
- 1:30:18the goal. Now, yesterday she was at the Super Bowl, but it
- 1:30:23was with the American Cancer Society, So I can't falter for that. No,
- 1:30:28there you go. So, like I said, I don't know a
- 1:30:30whole lot about her, and I do remember the show Who's the Boss.
- 1:30:31I don't know that I watched that. Did you watch that? I don't
- 1:30:33think I watched it. If I did, I don't remember it. So
- 1:30:36anyway, she's getting the business on the social channels as well. Also,
- 1:30:41Andy Reid and Travis Kelce have now spoken about this. Whatever happened on the
- 1:30:45sideline. We'll get into that as well, and also talk about Patrick Mahomes
- 1:30:48a journey from pitcher to Heisman contender. It's a guy that almost put the
- 1:30:53football down for the baseball glove and the baseball bat several several years ago before
- 1:30:59he hit text tech and uh really was eyeing a baseball career, but decided
- 1:31:03to turn to football as well. Six zero one eight eight five three seven

- 1:32:27You can find them at Bill Bender ninety two, also at Sporting News College
- 1:32:30and the NFL. Bill. Welcome in, sir, how are you.
- 1:32:33I'm doing well. Thanks for having me on. Hey. I appreciate you,
- 1:32:36sir, your thoughts of what you saw last night. I was talking
- 1:32:41to Chris Landry with Landry FOOTBA last hour about it. You know for me,
- 1:32:44I know, Bill, We've talked about this. We're pretty much the
- 1:32:45same ASA within a year or two. I don't mind defensive football. I
- 1:32:49find it highly entertaining. I can sit down and watch a ten to seven
- 1:32:51ball game or a you know, a thirteen five or thirteen six ball game
- 1:32:56and be just as entertained, but a lot of grumbling. You know,
- 1:33:00well, this ball game's boring. It's ten three and a half. I
- 1:33:02thought it was a highly entertaining super Bowl. You get it to overtime.
- 1:33:05Your thoughts of what you saw last night. Yeah, you know what,
- 1:33:09you probably could have sat in the chair next to me and been just as
- 1:33:12happy. There you go. I love the game where the defense was solid
- 1:33:16and you were kind of And I was watching it with a good friend of
- 1:33:19mine. We played together in high school, and we were talking about how
- 1:33:24it was cool to watch a game where you're like, the next play to
- 1:33:28determine the game. And it felt like that. And obviously here's the other
- 1:33:31thing I thought, I wonder if you felt the same way. At no
- 1:33:34point did I feel like the Chiefs were going to lose because they had Patrick
- 1:33:40Mahomes and they were within striking distance the whole time. Always felt that way,
- 1:33:44no doubt about it. Even after the trick play. Well, I
- 1:33:45felt after the trick play, San Francisco might might have had the momentum they
- 1:33:50needed, but with Patrick Mahomes, I mean again, I never never counted
- 1:33:55them out ever, No, and I mean the way he closed on those
- 1:33:58last two drives twelve fourteen, making that fourth down and run. But you
- 1:34:02know, that's a coaching thing. Andy Reid put the ball in his best
- 1:34:06player's hands with the game on the line. And when you do that,
- 1:34:12I mean, that's a big reason why Andy Reid has worked into some higher
- 1:34:15level coaches or conversations about the greatest coach of all time. So, yeah,
- 1:34:19it was cool. It was a fun game, you know, for
- 1:34:21it to end the way that it did, right down to the wire.
- 1:34:25A lot of drama, and you know what, I thought brock Perty played
- 1:34:29pretty well too. I don't really have anything negative to say about him other
- 1:34:32than, you know, the Chiefs defense bowed up and held them to some
- 1:34:36field goals and clutch situation. Bill Bender on your radio Monday edition of the
- 1:34:41programming should find him on X and check him out at the Sporting News.
- 1:34:44I agree with you on brock party. And you know, the forty nine
- 1:34:46ers are getting him at a good value right now on that rookie contract.
- 1:34:49He's going to get paid here after next year, just way too early.
- 1:34:54I mean, do you see. And we got to go through free agency,
- 1:34:57the draft, all this kind of stuff. These two teams, Are
- 1:34:59they the best two coming back? Or you know, or will one maybe
- 1:35:02slip? Just you know, kind of a fly over of both both organizations.
- 1:35:06Well, I think the Chiefs are in their dynasty era now where you
- 1:35:10know it's extended that it'll be a big deal when they lose in the playoffs
- 1:35:13next time. You know, they're going for a three peat. Never happened
- 1:35:16what the Packers did before they filled it into there, so as Bart Starr
- 1:35:24once told me in an interview that they were the last team to do it.
- 1:35:26So, man, what a story that would be. The forty nine
- 1:35:29ers will have to fight to hangover. I do like bruck Perdy's got two
- 1:35:31years left on this contract. They've got a stud roster they draft well,
- 1:35:35so I think they'll be a prohibitive favorite in that conference. But teams like
- 1:35:40Detroit, Green Bay, Philadelphia, Dallas, they'll have something to say about
- 1:35:44that. And then the AFC is going to be so quarterback heavy that it's
- 1:35:47just amazing that Pat Mahomes continues to beat these guys. Now, I agree
- 1:35:51with you, and you look at you reference the run on fourth and one,
- 1:35:55the twenty two yard scamper I thought that was a heck of a play
- 1:35:58call. I mean, you take those nine carries sixty six yards on the
- 1:36:01night for Mahomes, you take that off the board, and I mean they're
- 1:36:04right it around fifty five fifty six yards rushing for the ballgame. It just
- 1:36:09it felt like they just took this told Mahomes, hey, go do whatever
- 1:36:13it takes win the ballgame. And he did that and of course using his
- 1:36:16feet again, nine carries sixty six yards on the night. To me,
- 1:36:20that was the difference in this offense was his ability to create with his feet.
- 1:36:25Yeah, and you know the scrambles and you know, even the forty
- 1:36:29nine ers did a good job pressuring him in the first half. A Boza
- 1:36:32Chase young Eric Armstead. That a good team, good football team. You
- 1:36:36know Christian McCaffrey last night too. Not to change the subject, I was
- 1:36:40thinking, one hundred and sixty total yards, pretty dominant performance had to go
- 1:36:44on in overtime, and they would just seem like the forty nine ers would
- 1:36:47get away from him just enough. When I was thinking, man, a
- 1:36:50college team would ride that, they'd give that guy the ball three more times,
- 1:36:54and it was It was definitely one of those deals oh, there's no
- 1:36:57doubt about it. I mean, you're talking about twenty two rushing yard are
- 1:37:00twenty two carries, eight receptions, one hundred and sixty total yards, a
- 1:37:03touchdown. I mean, what a performance for him. And you know I
- 1:37:06don't I don't think that he is is by far done. Let me shift
- 1:37:11gears with you. Talk a little college football real quick. Your thoughts on
- 1:37:14Chip Kelly going from a head coach at UCLA to an offensive coordinator at UCLA.
- 1:37:19That one thought process on that from you? And then also, what
- 1:37:24does this mean and how how much better does this make Ohio State? Well,
- 1:37:28I mean good for Ohio State. I'll start there. I mean,
- 1:37:30they've got a really creative offensive mind that will spread them out and I think
- 1:37:34they'll really maximize Quinn Show, Judkins triviaon Henderson have a really good running game.
- 1:37:41College football in some ways though, I mean just the look of a
- 1:37:44team coming into the Big Ten, trying to create excitement and your head coach
- 1:37:48goes and takes an offensive coordinator job. I know, the sec down there
- 1:37:53where you guys are guys do like Derek Mason comes to mind. I know
- 1:37:58he took a defensive coordinator job after getting fired. But he didn't voluntarily do
- 1:38:02it, you know what I mean. And I think that's the big difference
- 1:38:04for me, and I'm not sure that's a good look for the sport.
- 1:38:09It just shows the gap between those superstore programs and everybody else. Bill Bender
- 1:38:15talking to NFL and College Football Money edition of the program. Make sure to
- 1:38:16find him on X and check him out at the Sporting News as well.
- 1:38:19In same question for Ryan Grub, I mean, you're talking about a guy
- 1:38:23who was the offensive coordinator at Washington. He goes down to Tuscalos. There's
- 1:38:28some stories or some you know, stuff out there, rumblings of hey,
- 1:38:30you know, they were trying to wait for that transfer portal window to close
- 1:38:33and then now back or to the NFL. He goes back to Seattle,
- 1:38:38this time with the Seahawks. Your thought on kind of that that maneuver there
- 1:38:40by him, I mean, there's definitely some shade on that and the way
- 1:38:45that they did it, but it's also by necessity in some ways. And
- 1:38:48that's why if there's three reforms that he made the sport, the first one
- 1:38:53of the calendar, how do we fix the college football calendar? Because this
- 1:38:57was a wild coaching carousel. Thirty change is just unprecedented. How do we
- 1:39:02fix the nil that's the next one. Do we get into the revenue sharing
- 1:39:05and that kind of thing, and then how do we fix the transfer port
- 1:39:09I think the transfer portal would fix itself a little bit if those two things
- 1:39:13were fixed ahead of it. I think we would have less transfers. And
- 1:39:15that's less of an issue for me than the other two. Bill Bender talking
- 1:39:19college and the NFL. Bill Man, ask one more question. I'll get
- 1:39:21you on your way, JJ McCarthy. There's been back to the kind of
- 1:39:26college slash back to the NFL. You know, Jim Harball came out and
- 1:39:29said, Hey, you know, I'm paraphrase and I think JJ's the best
- 1:39:30quarterbacks ever played at Michigan. I think he's the best quarterback in this draft.
- 1:39:34Now he doesn't need a quarterback now with the Chargers. You've seen kind
- 1:39:39of the movement of JJ McCarthy in some of these mock drafts. We'll see
- 1:39:42what happens at the combine and more. Is JJ one of the better quarterbacks
- 1:39:45in this draft? In your mind? Got a lot of intangibles. I
- 1:39:49remember back at Big ten Media Day, people were aside themselves that Harball would
- 1:39:55compare Harothy to Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, but he wasn't pairing the skill
- 1:40:00set. He was comparing the leadership, the in tangibles, those kind of
- 1:40:02things, and kind of hard to argue against that in some ways, given
- 1:40:05what Michigan went through this year and Howl McCarthy helped hold it together, I
- 1:40:09do think he will have better numbers and be a little bit better in the
- 1:40:13NFL than he wasn't Michigan. That might not make sense considering he was twenty
- 1:40:17three and one as a starter, but I think the receiver talent in the
- 1:40:20NFL in his arm. Will Mesh might take a minute, but you've got
- 1:40:25a little bit of this. This year's Will levis steel to him. Because
- 1:40:29of those things, I think he'll be a very popular person at the NFL
- 1:40:32combine. Make sure to find him on X that's Bill Bender ninety two.

- 1:41:38Six or one eight nine seven one zero five nine. Mike Elko,
- 1:41:43the head football coach at Texas A and M, has made an effort to
- 1:41:45inform high schools in Texas that his AGGI program is there to help them with
- 1:41:50anything they need. Quote. We are the flagship program in this state and
- 1:41:56part of our obligation is to help pay it for So Mike Yelko, you
- 1:42:01know, Mike Yogo is tasked with something at Texas A and M that a
- 1:42:04lot of coaches have not had to deal with directly at Texas A and M.
- 1:42:08This goes back to Jimbo Fisher, Kevin Someonan and uh well yeah,
- 1:42:13just Jimbo Fisher and Kevin Someone. Because when Kevin Someone became the head football
- 1:42:15coach at Texas A and M, they had left for leaving the Big twelve
- 1:42:19to the SEC. He now has to politic and fight Texas directly because Texas
- 1:42:27is now in the Southeastern Conference. Is why he's making Hey, where the
- 1:42:30flagship program? Do we use flagship program way too much? But I don't
- 1:42:38know about use it too much, but I feel like Texas would also say
- 1:42:43we're the flagship. Well you see it in this state. Ole miss calls
- 1:42:47himself the flagship. They've done it for a long time. And state counters
- 1:42:51that with, well this is our state. In an indirect or direct response
- 1:42:57to flagship that, no, we're the flagship. Can we really quantify who
- 1:43:01is the flagship in this state? I don't know that there is a flagship.
- 1:43:06I think there's two really good universities inside the Southeastern Conference footprint. Now
- 1:43:11there's other great universities of the Mster great University, Jackson State, Alcorn.
- 1:43:15I mean you go down to the junior college millsaps. But there's great universities
- 1:43:18all over the state in colleges. But as far as flag ship is there
- 1:43:25a true flagship. Ole miss could filip Uster and make a, you know,
- 1:43:29a presentation on why they are Mississippi State can do the same. I
- 1:43:32don't know that either one is ahead of the other. Jason and flag Staff
- 1:43:38not flagship. He says, I'm fairly liberal by homes home standards, but
- 1:43:46Alyssia Milano is a nut job basically, RT. Let's see here, RTI,
- 1:43:55where did we go here? He says earlier that Troy finished higher than
- 1:44:01fifth in MVP voting Womack Super Bowl MVP out of pity. He's just a
- 1:44:06jealous cowgirl. And he says, think how the Travis Kelsey freak out based
- 1:44:12on lack of production in the first half would have gone for him if they'd
- 1:44:15lost, it would have brought up the Taylor swift was the reason that I
- 1:44:19don't know about that almost wish they would. Are you laughing at his text?
- 1:44:27I'm trying to figure out how you win a Super Bowl MVP quote out
- 1:44:30of pity. I don't think that happens, Jesus, I don't think that
- 1:44:36maybe text eighteen times more in the next hour and eventually something will make sense
- 1:44:42there, possum, Nick, Joe y'all should just interview me. All these
- 1:44:45jokers are jumping on my JJ McCarthy benwagon. So yeah, I will give
- 1:44:50Joe this. Joe has been all about JJ McCarthy. Now, were you
- 1:44:56and Joe y'all aren't on the same page here, y'all typically are, but
- 1:44:58on this or not, you're not. You're not buying JJ at all.
- 1:45:01Say, I'm kind of buying JJ McCarthy. He's a headsy guy. It's
- 1:45:08a good looking kid. It's got a good smile. I mean, he
- 1:45:11just got a good arm. Yeah, that smile. That's gonna do him.
- 1:45:16That's gonna get him so far in the NFL. I'm just on the
- 1:45:19field. I'm just telling you, man, you're telling me like it's a
- 1:45:25shocker. I'm kind of buying JJ McCarthy. Of course you are. Michigan
- 1:45:30man, Yeah, you're still. Look, it's time to let it's time
- 1:45:33to let that go. Michigan's done. I don't think they have as put
- 1:45:39Michigan and Taylor Swift out of your mouth, out of your head, out
- 1:45:43of your heart, Jake, We're done with both of these things. I
- 1:45:47do not think Michigan will be sniff the national title football, and I'm done
- 1:45:50with Taylor Swift. I don't believe that last part. Let's just see what
- 1:45:57happens. Let's just see what happened. Did you see the let's see here,
- 1:46:01I go right back to it. Did you see the picture of her
- 1:46:03and Roger Goodell? Oh? I saw no. I mean well, I
- 1:46:08saw that they were talking in one place, described it as a heated conversation,
- 1:46:14Like, how would you know that? How do you know that?
- 1:46:15I mean I saw the one snapshot people are talking about and she just looks
- 1:46:19like she's looking at him and he's talking. I don't know how you would
- 1:46:21know what was being said or that was heated or not. I have no
- 1:46:27idea. But what we do know is Travis Kelcey and Andy Reid had a
- 1:46:31heated interaction on the sidelines. And Andy, Andy Reid, and Travis Kelcey
- 1:46:35explain this. The Kansas City Chiefs just captured their third excuse me, Super
- 1:46:41Bowl title in five years. The vibes around the franchise have been increasingly high.
- 1:46:46As Bill Bender said, I mean they're in a Dynasty mode. Right
- 1:46:49now, the Chiefs are a one hundred percent of the Dynasty mode, but
- 1:46:53that was not the case earlier in the game, as the Chiefs offense was
- 1:46:56stagnant. Superstar tight end Travis kelce had his frustrations bubble over, resulting in
- 1:47:01an altercation with head coach Andy Reid. Definitely was not a good look.
- 1:47:06Travis Kelcey was definitely frustrated as he had just one catch for nine yards or
- 1:47:11one catch for one yard up to that point. Let's go to Brando and
- 1:47:15we'll come back to that. Brando, welcome him. Hey Jake, real
- 1:47:18quick, I just got I don't know what y'all been talking about or whatever.
- 1:47:21I just was able to call in and I just turned on the show.
- 1:47:26But you know, last night, there was so many things that was
- 1:47:30awesome about that Super Bowl, But I think the real thing I looked at
- 1:47:34is just how great of a relationship that Taylor and Kelsey have it. And
- 1:47:42it just goes to show you you can try and find true love. And
- 1:47:45it just I almost cheered up one time, man when they were kissing and
- 1:47:48stuff. And I just want to tell you, you know, it's never
- 1:47:51too late to find it. So you guys have a great day. Thanks
- 1:47:56Branda. What do you think about that guy? My god? Okay,
- 1:48:01First, well, now that he says this, let me let you in
- 1:48:04on the conversation before I put him on. He says, Hey, I
- 1:48:11want to say I know I joke around a lot, but I want to
- 1:48:14say something serious though. And I said, I don't even think I can
- 1:48:18take that seriously. He goes, no, I'm for real. I was.
- 1:48:23Yeah, I was right to trust my instincts with this man. So
- 1:48:26you don't think he was sincere in those comments. Something tells me he wasn't.
- 1:48:32How many I feel like I have to say this in this world that
- 1:48:36we live in today. This is not a misogynistic comment that's about to come
- 1:48:40out of my mouth, but we'll be taken as such by something. How
- 1:48:44many women look at them and think that's a power couple, that's the way
- 1:48:50you do it. That think what Brando just said is a thing. So
- 1:48:58many, so many I've told you about these swifties I saw. I don't.
- 1:49:02I don't remember if I told you this particular when last week I was.
- 1:49:06It was the day after the Grammys and there was a Taylor's team had
- 1:49:15posted a picture of her on stage winning her award, and Kelsey clicked the
- 1:49:20heart the like, the Instagram like and her fans like one of them said.
- 1:49:29One of them posted, OMG, dad just liked Mom's tweet crying emoji.
- 1:49:38That's how serious they take this. So, yes, they do think
- 1:49:41this is relationship goals. You gotta be there. You've got to reach the
- 1:49:45status of a couple who after the super Bowl last night were dancing in a
- 1:49:53club to her own song while he was wearing sunglasses inside. That's what you
- 1:50:00want to aspire to be like those people. So this they referenced dad and
- 1:50:04mom. This wasn't a kid of either one of them. No, no,
- 1:50:08no, this is some random woman these this this is just Taylor Swift
- 1:50:12fans. That's how they are. They take it so seriously. Oh my
- 1:50:16god, Dad like Mom's tweet crying emojis. I can't take it. Oh
- 1:50:21my god, hearts crying emojis. This is a standard thing. Now,
- 1:50:29you don't run RT off. Hey gone, RT, you can come back.
- 1:50:34Beaver likes messing with you. Come on, RT, come on,
- 1:50:45RT. We love you, RT. How We're brought to you by Ameristargus

- 1:52:49things. Big shout out to you guys. Uh coming in last night and
- 1:52:55hopefully y'all had a good time. And there I'm saying, shout out to
- 1:52:59the girl from Pearl. She knows who she is. Let's see on football.
- 1:53:06I thought it was a really good game. I mean, how could
- 1:53:09you not think it was a good game. I think party deserves a whole
- 1:53:15whole lot of respect. Didn't understand why they didn't keep pounding the ball in
- 1:53:19the second half on the ground because they were definitely moving it in the first
- 1:53:24half. Other than that, I just I mean, I just thought it
- 1:53:28was a good game. And I mean, hats off to Kansas City.
- 1:53:31Maybe we'll quit talking about God forbid, if he proposes to her, we
- 1:53:35won't quit talking about it. But you know there's that other than that,
- 1:53:41another shout out I have to give to Direct TV for anybody out there that
- 1:53:45has it, cancel it. Anybody thinking about getting it, don't, okay,
- 1:53:49because if you call for sneeze, your televisions go out. Okay,
- 1:53:55just letting you know. If you get up from your chair and you don't
- 1:53:59want very very cautiously, your television will go out. Just letting you know.
- 1:54:04Anyway, it was all some Let's just keep on doing what we're doing.
- 1:54:09Appreciate you, guys, Thanks George, appreciate it. Brother, appreciate
- 1:54:12you six or one eight nine seven one zero five nine. You had direct
- 1:54:15TV took a little bit of a beat. Well, if you were in
- 1:54:17Mississippi last night and you were on direct TV, you lost the game a
- 1:54:20lot. How did y'all what platform did y'all watch the game on? Saints
- 1:54:28Brue just has antenna, so it it got a little fuzzy a couple times,
- 1:54:35not for like lengthy amounts of time. But yeah, I've had direct
- 1:54:40TV. I know what George speaks of. I can only imagine how bad
- 1:54:44it was last night. Yeah, well, I mean you think about it
- 1:54:46not. I can't speak for all, but a lot of your establishments still
- 1:54:49are on you know, the direct TV. It's the way they get their
- 1:54:54sports packages and so well, the brain that came through last night, which
- 1:54:58was just boatloads of rain across the area, I would assume that there was
- 1:55:02several people with the outers. Now, obviously if you went to the CBS
- 1:55:06Sports app, you know, you could get it there. But then there
- 1:55:09was some issues. I've looked at it on my phone on there. So
- 1:55:12it was just it was a little shaky at times, a little shaky at
- 1:55:14times. You're gonna apologize to Artie. No, Artie, give us,
- 1:55:21give us a text back, don't, don't. Why are you focused on
- 1:55:25Artie? I was just fixually go back to the text line here, so
- 1:55:28and my cursor was still on this. Let's got a dexter, dexter.
- 1:55:31Can you imagine partying with Kelsey and Gronk after the Super Bowl? He says,
- 1:55:35Viva las Vegas, Las Vegas. I couldn't. I don't know what
- 1:55:40that would be like. Do you think that would be something you would enjoy
- 1:55:44or something you wish you could get out of it? Might be fun for
- 1:55:47about maybe an hour, they'd get way out of control. No, no
- 1:55:56mirror mortal can hang with that. I wouldn't imagine. I wouldn't think so.
- 1:56:00So Travis Kelsey had this to say about the interaction with Andy Reid.
- 1:56:03He says, quote, I'm going to keep it between us. I was
- 1:56:06just telling him how much I love him. Of course we know that that
- 1:56:11is not true. He also says quote later on, he said, quote,
- 1:56:15I've I've the greatest coach this game has ever seen. Or I think
- 1:56:19I mean, I think I think he meant to say, I've got the
- 1:56:23greatest coach. He's unbelievable and not only dialing up plays but having everybody prepared.
- 1:56:29But he's one of the best leaders of men that I've ever seen in
- 1:56:30my life. He's helped me a lot with that, with channeling that emotion,
- 1:56:34channeling that passion. I owe my entire career to that guy, and
- 1:56:40being able to control how emotional I get. I just love him. Now.
- 1:56:43I don't know that Andy helped him control that emotion last night. Oh
- 1:56:47wait, this was this was from Travis Kelcey. Yes, this quote controlling
- 1:56:54emotions? Yeah, okay, man, who do you think you are?
- 1:57:00Who do you think is buying this? This is the same man who last
- 1:57:03week during Super Bowl media week, you know, people ask the crazy questions
- 1:57:08and whatnot. Someone asked him, why do you think that everyone likes you
- 1:57:13and Taylor so much? He said, well, I just I think it's
- 1:57:17because of the values that we represent and just who we are, values and
- 1:57:30controlling emotions and who you are. And then we saw it last night,
- 1:57:40the opposite of everything you just said. All right, do you believe this?
- 1:57:46Like, are you that delusional? Do you really believe this is who
- 1:57:50you are? It's not what we see, not what we see at all?
- 1:57:56Three Hunt Camel says flagship texture right here, So he says he is
- 1:58:00a flagship texture brown hornet, Jake, you ain't seen nothing yet. Wait
- 1:58:06till next year, our next season. You're gonna see all these celebrities all
- 1:58:11of a sudden, dating all these NFL players. Do you think we'll see
- 1:58:14an increase with that? We could? Dog tired in Florence. Why don't
- 1:58:18professional kickers move an extra point back two yards? What a difference a pat
- 1:58:26makes? Tell me different? Now? It absolutely does, especially last night.
- 1:58:29Also, why was every kickoff so deep? One hit the goalpost.
- 1:58:33If that's the expected outcome, well, I go through the efforts of kicking.
- 1:58:38It's just part of the game, right, that's that you got to
- 1:58:41kick the ball off to get a football game going. Let's see here,
- 1:58:46chief shooting ball. Chiefs stopped the run early in the second half, and
- 1:58:53the penalties forced them to abandon the run. He says. They started running
- 1:58:58again at the end of the and it worked. Patrick Mahomes definitely did for
- 1:59:00sure. And Rhino, Yeah, yeah, Rhino, you can definitely go
- 1:59:04down that. Definitely go down. That seen to some of that out there
- 1:59:09today. All right, let's see here. What else have we missed?
- 1:59:11Do you have any thoughts on Chip Kelly to Ohio State? Still doesn't make
- 1:59:16a lot of sense to me, you know, the talk of Ryan Day
- 1:59:21being on the hot seat because oh man, you know, he's lost a
- 1:59:27whole eight games, and what how long has he been there now? Eight
- 1:59:30seven years? I can't remember how exactly how fwhere there? Yeah, but
- 1:59:35he's lost a whole eight games, so let's kick him out. But my
- 1:59:40thinking about that to get it's still so weird. Like I said, it
- 1:59:45still doesn't make sense to me that an offensive or a head coach, step
- 1:59:48down, I'm gonna go over here to be an offensive coordinator in the same
- 1:59:53league. Kind of makes me think that maybe he got some I wouldn't say
- 1:59:58assurances, but maybe someone making decisions at Ohio State maybe told them, hey,
- 2:00:04one more rough year, you could be in the running to be our
- 2:00:10head coach in two years. Could be. Absolutely could be. Let's see,
- 2:00:15I'm trying to see did I miss anything? Did we miss anything today?
- 2:00:19Do you have any parting ways of the super Bowl? It's all been
- 2:00:25said, It's all been talked about non stop for what eighteen hours now.
- 2:00:30Yeah, I always see this, these videos that are out here, these
- 2:00:34people at these super Bowl parties or these NFL parties like house parties, smashing
- 2:00:41TVs or these real? Are these stage? Are people really that crazy?
- 2:00:46I feel like most of those are staged now, some of them, because
- 2:00:51you know, it kind of became a trend because I remember the first time
- 2:00:56I saw this happen was like an Alabama fan a decade ago or so,
- 2:01:00right, they're crazy. That might have been real, But since then,
- 2:01:03I think a lot of these are staged. Yeah, I'm just sitting here.
- 2:01:06There's several of these man lost twenty thousand dollars bet on the Niners and
- 2:01:11smashed the TV like in this party. I just don't know if maybe maybe
- 2:01:15some of this is real. I'm sure some of it is. Let's see
- 2:01:18here Rhino chips all the writing on the wall and then dog tard Florence says
- 2:01:23Coach Reid control the consequences of an egotistical tight end. That's what Travis meant
- 2:01:27by dissolving his idiotic tantrum. Yeah, because the right coach that could have
- 2:01:31gone sideways quickly last night on the sidelines in front of the whole world to
- 2:01:35see, and Jason Flagstaff UCLA was gonna fire. Kelly Anyway saw somewhere his
- 2:01:43UCLA buy out drops like a rock after next year, and it absolutely does.
- 2:01:48I did see royanld Wilson. Do you see the video of Jackson Mahomes
- 2:01:50getting rejected by Brittany Mahomes table yep at the party? Yeah, I saw
- 2:01:54that too. He just looked like a lost puppy in that, he looked
- 2:01:59like a lost pup pupp Appreciate Chris Landry and Bill Bender jumping in today with
