- 1:09Speaker 2: seemed to be struggling more. They blew a two touchdown lead,
- 1:12Speaker 2: and Todd Bowles, who I've never even heard cuss, had
- 1:16Speaker 2: a rant after the game where in about a twenty
- 1:19Speaker 2: seconds clip cussed. I think fifteen times seven F bombs.
- 1:25Speaker 2: I know that was that, right? Yeah? Yeah, other bad word? Yeah,
- 1:28Speaker 2: more bad words from Todd Bowles. Pottymouth wasn't happy. They
- 1:33Speaker 2: said what do you say to your logger room?
- 1:35Speaker 4: And he went off. He went nothing else to say, yeah,
- 1:38Speaker 4: other than all those F words. So probably wasn't a
- 1:41Speaker 4: good postgame speech. I would say, maybe we'll play that
- 1:44Speaker 4: in the ohow.

- 4:45Speaker 2: is today, because you never know what's going on when
- 4:49Speaker 2: Greg Bell is at the Army Navy Week with his buddies.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Sometimes I think that we've heard them singing in the
- 4:56Speaker 2: car driving down the road in the past. I mean,
- 4:59Speaker 2: we've had all so sorts of uh, we don't know
- 5:01Speaker 2: what your shenanigans on Friday morning of Army Navy Week.
- 5:06Speaker 2: So here we go. We're going to Baltimore the doctor,
- 5:09Speaker 2: Greg Mell. Who are you with right now?
- 5:13Speaker 5: I'm actually with my son. We just my buddies and
- 5:16Speaker 5: I we just low crawled around Fort McHenry where the
- 5:19Speaker 5: our spangle banner was first introduced to America and for
- 5:23Speaker 5: written and yeah, we're doing a little bit every I've
- 5:26Speaker 5: been up for about five hours. How you guys moving?
- 5:28Speaker 2: Is that right? Low crawled?
- 5:30Speaker 5: Like?
- 5:30Speaker 2: Is that like on your belly with your l walking
- 5:32Speaker 2: with your looks.
- 5:33Speaker 5: Like constantina wire above your head, although they didn't have
- 5:36Speaker 5: the wire. But yeah, you don't use your feet, You
- 5:39Speaker 5: just use your elbows and your knees and your thighs.
- 5:42Speaker 2: How far did you do this?
- 5:45Speaker 5: They're on the perimeter of Fort McHenry. What is that?
- 5:47Speaker 5: Probably good? Three course a while?
- 5:50Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, I love that you get together with
- 5:53Speaker 2: your friends and your buddies and you do fun things
- 5:56Speaker 2: like low crawling.
- 5:58Speaker 7: I think last year it was push ups or something.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Yeah, we've had pushouts in the past.
- 6:02Speaker 7: Yeah, at the break happens.
- 6:06Speaker 5: It's kind of it's fun to do in the dark
- 6:08Speaker 5: so the enemy can't see you. You get it. You
- 6:10Speaker 5: just don't do it broad daylight, right right, fair, that's
- 6:14Speaker 5: four am.
- 6:15Speaker 2: I'm tired just thinking about it. Yeah, we're gonna low
- 6:19Speaker 2: crawl around the studio. I'm during the break, just so
- 6:22Speaker 2: we feel like we're part of it.
- 6:23Speaker 5: There's out there. I don't know what Fort McHenry is
- 6:25Speaker 5: in Baltimore right off the owner harbor. Check it out
- 6:28Speaker 5: and you see what I mean. There's a piece of
- 6:29Speaker 5: American history.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Did your son low crawl with you too?
- 6:35Speaker 5: Hell yeah, college hosty soccer players. He could probably he's
- 6:41Speaker 5: six four, so the frame doesn't really blend itself to
- 6:44Speaker 5: low crawling. The best low crawling infantryment or not six
- 6:48Speaker 5: foot four, But the fact he may like one hundred
- 6:50Speaker 5: and ten pounds help he got around pretty well.
- 6:54Speaker 2: That's awesome. Well, how good does the field to be
- 6:57Speaker 2: in Baltimore for this tomorrow?
- 6:59Speaker 5: Yeah? You know, guys, I always give the same type
- 7:04Speaker 5: of speel about the Army Navy game, but now more
- 7:06Speaker 5: than ever, this is all pretty much major college football's
- 7:11Speaker 5: last true game. You don't have ni the two teams combined.
- 7:15Speaker 5: You know much niow money the Army Navy teams just combined,
- 7:20Speaker 5: and zero cent for two hundred and ten players, one
- 7:23Speaker 5: hundred and five on each roster, all of whom except
- 7:27Speaker 5: by exception once a decade if they get a pro
- 7:29Speaker 5: sports exemption, all of whom are going to be in
- 7:31Speaker 5: the profession of arms, many of them six months from now.
- 7:37Speaker 5: This is real. They do it for us, They do
- 7:39Speaker 5: it for the country, They do it for the brothers,
- 7:41Speaker 5: They do it for their alma mater. This is real.
- 7:45Speaker 5: They don't do it for nil. They don't will get
- 7:47Speaker 5: to the next place they can transfer to. The backup,
- 7:50Speaker 5: back up, backup quarterback isn't seeking the transfer because he
- 7:53Speaker 5: didn't play this year. That's not this and that's gone,
- 7:58Speaker 5: and college football is broke, and Oury Navy game ain't broken.
- 8:02Speaker 5: This is the last frontier of what college sports should
- 8:05Speaker 5: be about.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's great. Well, enjoy it all, soak it
- 8:10Speaker 2: all up and then hurry back to Seattle on Sunday
- 8:14Speaker 2: because you've got Colts Philip Rivers to cover.
- 8:18Speaker 5: That was the most interesting NFL regular season game I've
- 8:21Speaker 5: done twenty three years in the NFL. I don't know
- 8:24Speaker 5: about regular season game. It's going to be more interesting
- 8:26Speaker 5: than watching a forty four year old grandpa come out
- 8:29Speaker 5: of five years of retirement three days and he's only
- 8:32Speaker 5: had three practices. Yeah, and I want to play, and
- 8:35Speaker 5: I keep thinking about his former Chargers team at tim
- 8:39Speaker 5: and Wiser till then Wednesday in Brenton. Hey, no way,
- 8:42Speaker 5: Philip Rivers is leaving ten kids, a grandkid and a
- 8:45Speaker 5: wife out of Alabama to get on a plane at
- 8:48Speaker 5: Christmas time five hours of Seattle to not play. He's
- 8:52Speaker 5: playing no matter what Ridley Leonards status is, and I'll
- 8:55Speaker 5: sign from Minneapolis's the Seahawks are going to get him
- 8:58Speaker 5: and Mike McDonalds coaching staff. Ever since the news broke
- 9:02Speaker 5: Tuesday that Philip Rivers was heading to Minneapolis for a tryout,
- 9:05Speaker 5: the Seawks defensive game plan has been about stopping Rivers. Yeah.
- 9:09Speaker 4: Well, I mean, obviously it's the topic of the game.
- 9:13Speaker 4: And yet the facts are one team is heading upwards
- 9:18Speaker 4: and the other one has been heading downwards. I mean,
- 9:20Speaker 4: Seattle's outscored their last two opponents sixty three to nine.
- 9:24Speaker 4: I mean, is there anything that Philip Rivers can do
- 9:26Speaker 4: or is this flat out you stop Jonathan Taylor and
- 9:30Speaker 4: you have a runaway in here.
- 9:32Speaker 5: Yeah, well that's it, Bucky. What Philip Rivers can do
- 9:35Speaker 5: is hand the ball to Jonathan Taylor is the NFL's
- 9:37Speaker 5: leading rusher. He has the second most carries average nineteen
- 9:41Speaker 5: carries a game. I think he's going to have more
- 9:43Speaker 5: than nineteen carries in the rain in Seattle on Sunday.
- 9:47Speaker 5: And if Indianapolis can do with really no team including
- 9:51Speaker 5: the Rams and forty nine ers have done on the skuts,
- 9:53Speaker 5: and that's run the ball early on early downs. If
- 9:56Speaker 5: they can do that and make Rivers this third down,
- 9:59Speaker 5: third two instead of third and ten, then the costs
- 10:02Speaker 5: to have a chance. But nobody yet has done that.
- 10:05Speaker 5: And the Seahawks have played from the front so often
- 10:08Speaker 5: this year while going ten to three, the teams have
- 10:10Speaker 5: often not even tried to run. Some of the reasons
- 10:13Speaker 5: the Seahawks are third or fourth in the league and
- 10:15Speaker 5: all the metrics for defense is because teams just don't
- 10:18Speaker 5: try them. Because they're done by two scores in the
- 10:20Speaker 5: first half. It's what happened in Atlanta Dejon Robinson at
- 10:23Speaker 5: sixty one yards at a halftime twenty four to the
- 10:26Speaker 5: rest of the game because they fell behind by multiple
- 10:29Speaker 5: scores after Rashida Deheed's chick return for a touchdown to
- 10:32Speaker 5: start with the second half. So can the Colts keep
- 10:35Speaker 5: Taylor producing to a level that Philip Rivers doesn't have
- 10:39Speaker 5: to drop back forty times in long yardage to win?
- 10:42Speaker 5: Because I mean, come on, as great as Philip Rivers
- 10:45Speaker 5: is going to end up being in the Hall of
- 10:47Speaker 5: Fame how he has been, you can't expect him to
- 10:50Speaker 5: throw forty times in long yardage against any defense, especially
- 10:54Speaker 5: Mike McDonald's one of the best NFL defense is gone
- 10:56Speaker 5: right now to win. So that's where the Seahawks game
- 10:59Speaker 5: plan is su as Jonathan Taylor gun fits tackling. Mike
- 11:04Speaker 5: McDonald made the point this week that Taylor is the
- 11:06Speaker 5: fastest running back they've played. He breaks tackles and he
- 11:10Speaker 5: gets away from you when you break the tackles. So
- 11:12Speaker 5: it's really key for Seattle. It's short tackling at the
- 11:14Speaker 5: line of scrimmage because this guy even more than DeShawn Robbinson.
- 11:18Speaker 5: He'll get away from you if you'll tackle.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm calling Mike McDonald's defense this week today's youth defense,
- 11:26Speaker 2: because no old man has ever been able to figure
- 11:29Speaker 2: out today's youth. So that's that's what i'm calling. So
- 11:43Speaker 2: it's the today's youth defense that they'll be facing. And look,
- 11:48Speaker 2: I mean, I said this is my key. I think
- 11:50Speaker 2: you only have to defend like three three yards of
- 11:55Speaker 2: defense of the trenches because you're going to stack the
- 11:58Speaker 2: box to stop Taylor and I think Philip Rivers is
- 12:01Speaker 2: probably going to try to survive on screen passes and
- 12:06Speaker 2: dump offs and things of that nature. I don't think
- 12:08Speaker 2: they're gonna be a lot of you know, five step
- 12:11Speaker 2: drops in this game on Sunday, and man, that is
- 12:15Speaker 2: to me, Greg, that's like throwing meat to a lion
- 12:19Speaker 2: here a den of lions. With the way the Seahawks
- 12:22Speaker 2: defense is playing right now.
- 12:24Speaker 5: Yeah, they they can't just do that. They will throw
- 12:28Speaker 5: the ball down the field because you have to in
- 12:30Speaker 5: today's NFL or else you're gonna get exactly what you're describing,
- 12:33Speaker 5: and it's going to be a route. It will not
- 12:36Speaker 5: surprise me for Rivers. Hughetok yesterday on our roundtable about
- 12:40Speaker 5: the weapons they have a pushing the ball down the field.
- 12:43Speaker 5: I think you're gonna do that, but again, if they
- 12:45Speaker 5: can run the ball first to keep the Seahawks pastures
- 12:48Speaker 5: on us. But this is not just some old man
- 12:52Speaker 5: charity game. He's not coming back unless he thinks he
- 12:55Speaker 5: can be an NFL functioning quarterback, and the Coats wouldn't
- 12:59Speaker 5: put him out there. They lookton'll, let's be real. The
- 13:03Speaker 5: Colts rolled the dice first by taking Anthony Richardson high
- 13:06Speaker 5: in the draft and he hasn't panned out yet. Now
- 13:08Speaker 5: he's on injured reserve. Daniel Jones, they were in Charmed
- 13:12Speaker 5: Life with him. He was in the second NFL life
- 13:14Speaker 5: here at the beginning of the season when they were
- 13:15Speaker 5: seven and one. At that time, when they were seven
- 13:18Speaker 5: and one, they had no plan b. It was Daniel
- 13:20Speaker 5: Jones or bust. And now they're busted. And they didn't
- 13:24Speaker 5: before the deadline go trade for guys like Russell Wilson
- 13:27Speaker 5: or even maybe Joe Flacco and Cleveland guys veterans that
- 13:30Speaker 5: we could have been available. They didn't trade for them.
- 13:33Speaker 5: So now, unless you can convince a team to waive
- 13:36Speaker 5: a Wilson or Flacco, you can't get them. And that's
- 13:40Speaker 5: why they were in the situation they were in this
- 13:42Speaker 5: week because they didn't proactively plan for this. It was
- 13:46Speaker 5: Brett Riffen or hey, let's call Philip Rivers. So, I mean,
- 13:51Speaker 5: it's such a unique situation for sure, And it's not
- 13:54Speaker 5: like the Colt is just playing out the string. They
- 13:56Speaker 5: got a win to get in the playoffs. That's how
- 13:57Speaker 5: desperate this is. So I don't think going to see
- 14:00Speaker 5: robo quarterback tossing one yard. He's gonna have to push
- 14:03Speaker 5: the ball down the field to keep the Colts in
- 14:05Speaker 5: contention for the playoffs.
- 14:07Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you, And I mean, ultimately this has
- 14:11Speaker 4: been a decent I'm pretty good. Actually the first eight
- 14:14Speaker 4: games of the season, the Colts defense was pretty decent.
- 14:17Speaker 4: Now they have some injuries and I'm not sure if
- 14:19Speaker 4: DeForest Buckner's coming back from the neck injury, that would
- 14:23Speaker 4: be one area that could cause some issues. I mean,
- 14:26Speaker 4: they're gonna need a little bit of help. If these
- 14:28Speaker 4: two teams go out there both play a B game,
- 14:30Speaker 4: then it's going to be probably a lopside of victory.
- 14:33Speaker 2: In the Seahawks favor.
- 14:34Speaker 4: But I would think that defensively, what is it that
- 14:38Speaker 4: you could possibly see that the Colts could bring to
- 14:41Speaker 4: the table, because they're going to need some help or
- 14:43Speaker 4: some big plays, some turnover something from their defense to
- 14:47Speaker 4: try to force Sam Darnold into making a couple of mistakes.
- 14:49Speaker 5: I would think, yeah, exactly. But they're going to turn
- 14:52Speaker 5: on the tape of the Minnesota game and they're gonna say, ah,
- 14:56Speaker 5: we're going to bring more pressure than we brought all season,
- 14:58Speaker 5: because let's make this quarter turn the ball over. Let's
- 15:01Speaker 5: get up some drive starts in the twenty yard line
- 15:03Speaker 5: like the Vikings did, And that's that's I I think
- 15:06Speaker 5: the Rams are gonna do it Thursday night. I think
- 15:09Speaker 5: the Panthers are gonna do it in week seventeen end.
- 15:11Speaker 5: I know the forty nine ers will do it in
- 15:13Speaker 5: Santa Clara and the season the pressure Donald, Let's see
- 15:16Speaker 5: if he'll turn the ball over. He's leading the league
- 15:18Speaker 5: and turnovers at sixteen. It's because his defense is so good.
- 15:23Speaker 5: And when he doesn't turn the ball over, Donald's been
- 15:26Speaker 5: so good at fishing throwing the ball down the fields
- 15:28Speaker 5: that they are ten and three. I submit that that
- 15:31Speaker 5: ain't gonna work against the Rams forty nine ers and
- 15:33Speaker 5: then the playoffs. You turn the ball over, you loose.
- 15:36Speaker 5: That's the name of the game in the NFL playoffs.
- 15:39Speaker 5: So the Colts are going to try it force that.
- 15:41Speaker 5: The problem, of course, is that you mentioned Buckner has
- 15:43Speaker 5: a neck injury. He has practiced this week. The word
- 15:46Speaker 5: getting out of Indianapolis he is going to play. Sauce
- 15:49Speaker 5: Gardner is a bigger story than me. They traded two
- 15:52Speaker 5: first round picks for him. The all Pro cornerback is
- 15:55Speaker 5: now hurt. He's got a cast issue. He hasn't practiced
- 15:57Speaker 5: all week. He may not play, and that's the guy
- 16:01Speaker 5: you've got to get you over the top defensively, and
- 16:03Speaker 5: he's not even gonna be on the field with the
- 16:04Speaker 5: season on the line. If Gardner doesn't play, Smith and
- 16:08Speaker 5: Jigg is going to have a chance to have a
- 16:09Speaker 5: huge day down the field. Even if it's rainy and
- 16:12Speaker 5: windy and Seattle and today and soft, Gardner in the lineup,
- 16:16Speaker 5: he's a game changer. They would probably shadow Gardner with
- 16:20Speaker 5: Smith and Jig the entire game, least I would. But
- 16:22Speaker 5: if he's not in there, then you got zone and
- 16:25Speaker 5: catch up coverages and shell and we've seen what Smith
- 16:28Speaker 5: and Jigg has done to that all year.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Greg Bell is with us live from Baltimore. He and
- 16:33Speaker 2: Jessmone McIntyre will be hosting a show today. They're going
- 16:38Speaker 2: to be doing that. What is it night? Noon to three?
- 16:40Speaker 2: Is is that the time?
- 16:42Speaker 5: Yes, sir? Yeah?
- 16:43Speaker 2: Noon to three? Uh? Do we have a plan? Are
- 16:47Speaker 2: you guys winging it? And just you know, grabbing Roger
- 16:50Speaker 2: Stallbach as he comes by?
- 16:52Speaker 5: Well, I would never grab brothers. I respect the hell
- 16:55Speaker 5: of him. He's a movie quarterback. After do you know?
- 16:58Speaker 5: You know Jessmon, he's so oh organized, he keeps us straight. Yeah,
- 17:02Speaker 5: we got a plan. We're going to talk to Nate Boyer,
- 17:05Speaker 5: the former Seahawks, the Green Beret who walked onto the
- 17:09Speaker 5: Texas team and made himself a football career after serving
- 17:11Speaker 5: in Iraq. We're going to talk to a former Army commander,
- 17:15Speaker 5: Company commander, Army ranger who was a Purple Heart recipient
- 17:19Speaker 5: wood warrior in combat who has now dedicated his life
- 17:23Speaker 5: to fixing veterans' health, quality of life, homelessness for veterans.
- 17:29Speaker 5: There are three million veterans who served in Iraq in
- 17:32Speaker 5: Afghanistan who were shot at who our country have left
- 17:35Speaker 5: behind and they don't have enough means to have homes
- 17:38Speaker 5: or food or attic quality of life. And we're going
- 17:42Speaker 5: to talk to the gentleman Zach Pleega, who was dedicating
- 17:45Speaker 5: his life to doing that. He just ran across the
- 17:46Speaker 5: country Forrest Gump style in a relay three thousand miles
- 17:50Speaker 5: from San Diego to Washington, DC onto the National Mall
- 17:54Speaker 5: to raise money for the awareness for veterans and the
- 17:56Speaker 5: plight of veterans and talk to him. We're gonna talk
- 17:59Speaker 5: to the Army and maybe athletic directors about the state
- 18:01Speaker 5: of college football or bowls going away and how they
- 18:05Speaker 5: are staying above the fray in the non nil academy world.
- 18:09Speaker 5: We'll probably talk to the Army, maybe play by play guys,
- 18:11Speaker 5: and tak the Mike Mayock Philadelphia boy and raised grew
- 18:14Speaker 5: up on this Army Navy game from a Raiders general manager,
- 18:17Speaker 5: longtime NFL scout, from a player himself. We'll talk to him.
- 18:20Speaker 5: A ton of people coming out and yeah, it it's
- 18:23Speaker 5: gonna be blasted. This is our favorite event. And if
- 18:26Speaker 5: you're around the radio, you'll learn something about football in
- 18:30Speaker 5: Americana and military life. From twelve to three.

- 21:02Speaker 2: percent alcohol by volume, sab responsibly. Happy Football Friday to you,
- 21:07Speaker 2: Ashley Ryan, Bucky Jacobson. My name is Chuck Pewell. We
- 21:10Speaker 2: got you till ten o'clock here today. You know, I
- 21:13Speaker 2: grew up in southern Illinois and there was a family
- 21:17Speaker 2: right down the road from the Wolf's and they had
- 21:22Speaker 2: nineteen children the Wolf's. Are you serious, I'm serious, that's
- 21:26Speaker 2: a lot. There was a normal name, but then they
- 21:29Speaker 2: just had a normal last name. The mom had litters
- 21:32Speaker 2: of children.
- 21:33Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, the first name could have been like Tapioka.
- 21:37Speaker 2: Wolf was the Tappioka Wolf was the kid my age, yeah,
- 21:41Speaker 2: and Lannel and Wolf was my that's the that's a
- 21:44Speaker 2: girl's name. Obviously that was my sister's age. No, they
- 21:48Speaker 2: had normal names. They were not a normal family, but
- 21:53Speaker 2: obviously they were fertile.
- 21:56Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Catholic.
- 21:58Speaker 7: Okay, of surprise, yeah, Catholic.
- 22:01Speaker 2: There were a lot of them, and no one else
- 22:04Speaker 2: in the community liked them. Oh, they were exactly like
- 22:08Speaker 2: Notre Dame. The wolf Pack as they were. I mean,
- 22:17Speaker 2: they were always trying to fight everybody, every kid except
- 22:20Speaker 2: the one in my class I got. I got the
- 22:22Speaker 2: good one. Jamie was a sweetheart. But all the rest
- 22:26Speaker 2: of the wolf children, they were always trying to fight people.
- 22:28Speaker 2: They were always wronged. They were always being wronged at
- 22:31Speaker 2: all times. And it didn't put it together until this
- 22:35Speaker 2: week that basically they were Notre Dame and so already
- 22:41Speaker 2: not liked by the entire country of college football fans.
- 22:47Speaker 2: If you don't, if you're not a wolf, there's no
- 22:50Speaker 2: chance anyone else liked you, right, and so, and yet
- 22:54Speaker 2: they've had a really unpopular week this week, their reaction
- 22:58Speaker 2: to not being made included in the college football playoff.
- 23:03Speaker 2: I mean, there were boycotts of Ivan Mazell's book at
- 23:07Speaker 2: bookstores because Ivan Mazell is a sports writer who was
- 23:10Speaker 2: on the committee, and so they they took his books
- 23:14Speaker 2: off the shelves in South Bend. Oh, jeez, you know,
- 23:18Speaker 2: things like that. Obviously, we heard the egregious grousing from
- 23:24Speaker 2: Pete Levaqua their ad this week, and so a lot
- 23:27Speaker 2: of other ads have weighed in about how immature, how
- 23:31Speaker 2: Braddy he is acting for being left out of the tournament,
- 23:37Speaker 2: and then we found out Ashley told us in the
- 23:40Speaker 2: middle of a conversation, I didn't even know it, and
- 23:43Speaker 2: it turns out nobody knew it. Pete Levaqua announced on
- 23:47Speaker 2: Dan Patrick's show that we have a secret deal with
- 23:50Speaker 2: the committee going forward that we are included guaranteed if
- 23:57Speaker 2: we finished top twelve in the rankings from this year forward, guaranteed.
- 24:02Speaker 2: People did not know that. So there are programs all
- 24:06Speaker 2: over the country like, what are you talking about. Yeah,
- 24:09Speaker 2: you have a secret agreement, contractual agreement that if you're
- 24:13Speaker 2: in the top twelve, you're guaranteed in the every playoff
- 24:16Speaker 2: from this point forward. So from what I hear, Notre
- 24:21Speaker 2: Dame programs are now like sharing information might start freezing
- 24:27Speaker 2: them out, Like try to get a top twelve ranking,
- 24:30Speaker 2: because we're not going to schedule you anymore. So try
- 24:33Speaker 2: to get a top twelve ranking beating up on Army, Navy,
- 24:38Speaker 2: the Citadel and whoever else you can get to play
- 24:41Speaker 2: you because we're not even going to schedule you anymore.
- 24:44Speaker 2: If you're going to act like you're not one of
- 24:45Speaker 2: us and they've acted like they're not one of us
- 24:49Speaker 2: their entire history. That's what they do.
- 24:51Speaker 7: They're hated.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why they are, and now they're this week,
- 24:54Speaker 2: they're more hated than they've ever been hated, and rightfully. So, yeah,
- 24:58Speaker 2: I meant, I get it.
- 25:00Speaker 4: You felt like you got screwed over, and you know,
- 25:04Speaker 4: there's a legitimate argument that you probably are one of
- 25:07Speaker 4: the better teams in the country that deserves a shot
- 25:09Speaker 4: at in the tournament, but it's you didn't. Your resume
- 25:14Speaker 4: doesn't say unequivocally you're should be in. Absolutely, you ended
- 25:19Speaker 4: up losing to Miami. They ended up getting in. You don't.
- 25:22Speaker 4: So that's kind of there's a fairness to that to
- 25:26Speaker 4: some degree. There's a part of that that is an
- 25:27Speaker 4: argument that's a legitimate on the side of the Hurricanes
- 25:31Speaker 4: versus you. You had lost to Texas A and m
- 25:34Speaker 4: your second game, so you started out own too. Now
- 25:36Speaker 4: since then you rattled off nothing but w's. But because
- 25:40Speaker 4: you don't play in a conference, because you think you're
- 25:42Speaker 4: bigger than that, you're better. We wear gold helmets, were
- 25:46Speaker 4: the brand of all brands. Then you're some of your
- 25:50Speaker 4: victories fall on deaf ears, some of them are like, well,
- 25:53Speaker 4: you don't. You don't even come close to the resume
- 25:57Speaker 4: that Alabama. Now I agree that there's an argument about it.
- 26:00Speaker 4: Alabama shouldn't be in because of the way in which
- 26:02Speaker 4: they didn't show up in their conference championship game.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Strength of schedule doesn't compare to Alabama. The resume absolutely
- 26:09Speaker 2: compared well. But to me, that that's those are there's
- 26:11Speaker 2: a similarity, that those things correlate and there's a there's
- 26:15Speaker 2: a there's an overlap.
- 26:16Speaker 4: They're not exactly the same, but yes, the strength of schedule,
- 26:20Speaker 4: which is part of your resume, part of the it
- 26:22Speaker 4: doesn't they're not even it's apples and oranges. You didn't
- 26:26Speaker 4: play even close to the same type of competition. So
- 26:28Speaker 4: had you been in the SEC, would you have not
- 26:33Speaker 4: dropped more games early in the season before you figured
- 26:36Speaker 4: out and got your footing and figured out how to
- 26:38Speaker 4: play the way you have down the stretch Because to me,
- 26:41Speaker 4: I mean, you know, the USC win, I guess is
- 26:44Speaker 4: a good win, but that's not a team that belongs
- 26:46Speaker 4: in the College Football Playoff either. Pitt was up in
- 26:50Speaker 4: that until they beat them. Pitt was kind of in
- 26:52Speaker 4: the conversation of he are they going to be a
- 26:55Speaker 4: team that squeaks in there. There really is no there's
- 26:57Speaker 4: no signature win on their on their resume, and so
- 27:00Speaker 4: you act like a brat. Then there's a really good
- 27:03Speaker 4: chance that people are like, Okay, if they're going to
- 27:04Speaker 4: be petty, then we can be petty right back at them,
- 27:07Speaker 4: especially once we find out they got some loophole in
- 27:10Speaker 4: there that if we play them and they beat us,
- 27:12Speaker 4: that that might just be enough for them to get
- 27:14Speaker 4: into the top twelve and automatically in.
- 27:16Speaker 8: I didn't think actually that it was possible for me
- 27:18Speaker 8: to dislike Notre Dame more. But they've done it, so congratulations.
- 27:24Speaker 8: But at the same time, none of it surprises me
- 27:26Speaker 8: because they always have felt like they're above everybody else,
- 27:29Speaker 8: I mean, and they've been treated like they're above everybody else.
- 27:32Speaker 8: It's not just Notre Dame came up with this whole
- 27:34Speaker 8: thing that they're, you know, the the brand and they're
- 27:37Speaker 8: the best. It's that they have been supported by that
- 27:41Speaker 8: narrative for a long time and that they're very important
- 27:44Speaker 8: for college football, and so they use that importance to
- 27:47Speaker 8: their benefit, and in this case, that importance didn't help them,
- 27:52Speaker 8: and now they're angry about it.
- 27:54Speaker 7: Well, it's helped them a lot in the past.
- 27:55Speaker 8: So there's been other schools that have been left out
- 27:57Speaker 8: of things because Notre Dame and they're self importance made
- 28:02Speaker 8: it in.
- 28:03Speaker 7: And now you know what it's like to be on
- 28:04Speaker 7: the other side pettiness.
- 28:06Speaker 2: I can live with a week of pettiness after you
- 28:09Speaker 2: got left out. I'm used to Notre Dame being petty. Yeah,
- 28:12Speaker 2: so that I can live with. And even if we
- 28:14Speaker 2: got a heavy dose of pettiness this week. Okay, some
- 28:18Speaker 2: heavy petty.
- 28:19Speaker 8: I mean yeah, yeah, at that part, At that point
- 28:21Speaker 8: you kind of laugh at them. It's like, oh gosh,
- 28:23Speaker 8: here they go again.
- 28:24Speaker 2: But I mean that wouldn't be unexpected. I don't even
- 28:27Speaker 2: think it is entirely out of bounds. I mean, think
- 28:30Speaker 2: about what Florida State did and they got they did
- 28:34Speaker 2: not make it in an undefeated season when we didn't
- 28:36Speaker 2: have a twelve team tournament, but think about what that
- 28:39Speaker 2: week was afterwards, So getting being the last being the
- 28:42Speaker 2: person left out. And I think that the committee did
- 28:47Speaker 2: do them wrong, yeah, by leading them to believe that
- 28:50Speaker 2: they were safe and they were there, and then magically
- 28:54Speaker 2: when the time came to announce that they weren't there.
- 28:57Speaker 8: Yeah, neither team plays and then suddenly they flip flopped checksnosense.
- 29:00Speaker 2: I can deal with a week of anger, I can
- 29:02Speaker 2: deal with a week of pettiness. But like the but
- 29:07Speaker 2: getting nasty, and then one of your problems is that
- 29:11Speaker 2: you're trying to act above and separate from the rest
- 29:15Speaker 2: of college football, and then you spent a week trying
- 29:18Speaker 2: to separate yourself further and trying to babe as if
- 29:22Speaker 2: you're higher. I would hope there are lessons to be
- 29:28Speaker 2: learned here, because the alternative is I would hope they
- 29:33Speaker 2: join a conference because of this. I would hope that
- 29:36Speaker 2: they got knocked down a couple of pegs because of this,
- 29:40Speaker 2: because the alternative is you're going to be left out entirely.
- 29:43Speaker 2: You can't run a college football program by yourself. You
- 29:48Speaker 2: don't have a conference, and if nobody will schedule you,
- 29:51Speaker 2: you know you're just going to have a club team.
- 29:53Speaker 2: At this point, you better start playing ball with all
- 29:56Speaker 2: the other kids.
- 29:57Speaker 8: Well, and they started alienating the ACC too, for one
- 30:00Speaker 8: in Miami.
- 30:01Speaker 2: In you better start playing ball with all the other
- 30:04Speaker 2: kids in the neighborhood or you're going to be left out,
- 30:09Speaker 2: or you're going to be diminished so greatly that you're
- 30:14Speaker 2: going to beg to get back in to play with
- 30:17Speaker 2: the kids and get invited to the parties. So I'll
- 30:20Speaker 2: give you a week, but you bet. I mean clandestine
- 30:23Speaker 2: meetings and secret contracts that you have and nobody else has.
- 30:29Speaker 2: Nobody's going to play that game with you, So go
- 30:33Speaker 2: ahead and take your ball and go home. We got
- 30:35Speaker 2: plenty of balls, exactly, and we got plenty of kids,
- 30:41Speaker 2: So the sport does not need you. What do they
- 30:45Speaker 2: always say that about an individual player? Know how, no
- 30:47Speaker 2: matter how great the player is, you're not bigger than
- 30:49Speaker 2: the game. No matter how great a program you are,
- 30:52Speaker 2: you're not even close to being as big as the
- 30:55Speaker 2: product as the college football world, and you were a
- 31:00Speaker 2: star player in it. But you are already trying to
- 31:05Speaker 2: separate yourself from everybody else, and you've had a week
- 31:08Speaker 2: of acting like you're even bigger and better and more
- 31:12Speaker 2: important than we've ever let on. Yep, and it's gone.
- 31:16Speaker 2: It's backfired on you.
- 31:17Speaker 7: Weird that they would screw it up.
- 31:19Speaker 2: It's blowing up in your face. So I would hope
- 31:21Speaker 2: that you would recognize the scars, but they're not acting
- 31:26Speaker 2: it that way right now. That's for sure. All right,
- 31:28Speaker 2: Coming up next, what's the second most interesting thing about
- 31:32Speaker 2: the Colts Seahawks game? On Sunday Sports Radio ninety three
- 31:35Speaker 2: point three KJRFM. All Right, the O Joe comes your
- 31:49Speaker 2: way at the top of the hour, your eight top
- 31:51Speaker 2: stories of the day here on this Friday, a chance
- 31:54Speaker 2: for you to recap the week and get you ready
- 31:57Speaker 2: for the weekend. We do it every Friday. It's the
- 31:59Speaker 2: Friday Oho. Of course, this has been a week of
- 32:03Speaker 2: a strange week of Seahawk talk because it's all revolved
- 32:06Speaker 2: around facing a forty four year old quarterback five years
- 32:11Speaker 2: retired who's coming off the couch to play this Sunday
- 32:16Speaker 2: against the Seahawks. So it's hard not to talk about
- 32:20Speaker 2: that pretty much every segment for me. I mean, that's
- 32:22Speaker 2: how interesting this story is. Greg Bell said he's not
- 32:26Speaker 2: looked forward to a regular season game like this one
- 32:28Speaker 2: and his entire time covering the Seahawks because of just
- 32:32Speaker 2: how fantastic the story is. I mean, it might end
- 32:35Speaker 2: up having a grim result, it might not be that
- 32:38Speaker 2: pretty on Sunday, but the story itself is just something
- 32:42Speaker 2: that we've never seen before. Kurt Warner told us that yesterday.
- 32:45Speaker 2: I can't tell you if he's going to succeed or
- 32:47Speaker 2: fail because we've never seen anyone try this before, and
- 32:51Speaker 2: yet Philip Rivers takes the field on Sunday. So that's
- 32:55Speaker 2: without question the number one story, and it's been such
- 32:58Speaker 2: a dominant story. Have we even discussed what's the second
- 33:01Speaker 2: biggest story in this game? What's the second biggest story
- 33:05Speaker 2: in this game?
- 33:06Speaker 4: Oh, I get to me, it probably would be can
- 33:11Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor do enough to make it a game against
- 33:15Speaker 4: this defense? Would be the only I mean, because they
- 33:18Speaker 4: don't have a bunch of playmakers outside of that. So
- 33:22Speaker 4: it's still is connected to it's not completely separate of
- 33:26Speaker 4: Philip Rivers because to me, it's Jonathan Taylor. I would
- 33:29Speaker 4: think the same thing if it was still Daniel Jones.
- 33:32Speaker 4: Now it's just obviously blown up to bigger proportions because
- 33:35Speaker 4: it's a forty four year old guy coming off the
- 33:37Speaker 4: couch essentially to try to lead the team at the
- 33:40Speaker 4: most important position. But to me, that would be if
- 33:43Speaker 4: we were talking about Daniel Jones still playing that, I
- 33:46Speaker 4: think it's a big topic we'd be talking about. Is
- 33:48Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor, and I mean out of Christian McCaffrey is
- 33:52Speaker 4: maybe a better back or is the only other one
- 33:55Speaker 4: I think that would be close to that. They're in
- 33:58Speaker 4: the same category that this Yawks defense is faced John
- 34:02Speaker 4: Robinson just last week.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess be Jehan Robinson.
- 34:05Speaker 4: Yeah, their team, Yeah, yeah, you're right. They shut him
- 34:09Speaker 4: down for the most part, I guess John Robinson talent wise.
- 34:12Speaker 2: That's just it. Everything though, is connected to Philip Rivers.
- 34:17Speaker 2: It's Jonathan Taylor. Can Jonathan Taylor carry a team with
- 34:20Speaker 2: Philip Rivers at quarterback?
- 34:21Speaker 5: Right?
- 34:21Speaker 2: You know that's the second biggest story. What will Mike
- 34:25Speaker 2: McDonald's defense do do this week against a forty four
- 34:28Speaker 2: year old quarterback coming out of retirement. I mean, that's
- 34:31Speaker 2: that's that's in the conversation. I mean the only thing
- 34:34Speaker 2: actually that could possibly even get headlines that aren't going
- 34:37Speaker 2: to be attached to Philip Rivers on Sunday is if
- 34:40Speaker 2: a streaker comes out onto the field, that will be like,
- 34:44Speaker 2: there's a chance a streaker will come out onto the field?
- 34:47Speaker 2: Is like the second biggest story heading into this game.
- 34:50Speaker 8: I mean it sure seems like it, because yeah, everything
- 34:52Speaker 8: is so centered around this big unknown because it's not
- 34:55Speaker 8: even like as we've talked about. He hasn't been there
- 34:57Speaker 8: for weeks practicing.
- 34:59Speaker 7: You're not seeing you know.
- 35:00Speaker 8: Yesterday I saw a video that was him in practice
