Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome back to another episode, episode number
- 0:05Speaker 1: 179 of the so-called Sports Analysts, where we are Drake Enthusiasts.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Brayden? No.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Okay, maybe just me. Brayden, how are you doing?
- 0:21Speaker 2: Ready to save some people. How are you doing, Brayden?
- 0:28Speaker 1: It's been a while since we parted. It's been like
- 0:30Speaker 1: two weeks. Dodgers were still in the playoffs. Texas was
- 0:35Speaker 1: still good. Bo Nix was still a real quarterback at
- 0:41Speaker 1: that time. There's been a lot that's been going on
- 0:45Speaker 1: ever since then. But first I want to say, I
- 0:49Speaker 1: just want to say this. I don't know how you
- 0:50Speaker 1: feel right now, Brayden. I know like You don't watch
- 0:53Speaker 1: like much basketball and hockey, but this is like the
- 0:57Speaker 1: pinnacle of sports right here. Like where you have football,
- 1:01Speaker 1: college football, basketball, World Series, hockey. You have all of
- 1:07Speaker 1: these sports. Like it's just a good time to be
- 1:10Speaker 1: a sports fanatic right now. But I think we got
- 1:14Speaker 1: to get down to the nitty gritty right here. I
- 1:16Speaker 1: know where we're going to start off with here first.
- 1:20Speaker 1: But before we start, find us on Twitch at TikTok, Instagram,
- 1:23Speaker 1: and YouTube under TSESA or the so-called sports analysts. And
- 1:27Speaker 1: let's go ahead and start this. Texas. The University of Texas.
- 1:35Speaker 1: You know, before we talked about it, the last time
- 1:38Speaker 1: was an OU game in which they lost and then
- 1:43Speaker 1: they turn around the next week and lose to Florida.
- 1:48Speaker 1: So braided. Yeah. I can see how you're doing, but
- 1:53Speaker 1: tell the audio listeners how you're doing.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Terrible. I hate my life. As a Dodgers, Broncos, and
- 2:02Speaker 2: Longhorn sports fan, my life has never been worse. I
- 2:07Speaker 2: think the last time it was this bad was about 2017.
- 2:13Speaker 2: As you can see, very avid Texas fan. Avid Texas
- 2:16Speaker 2: fan right there. The Texas flag. And, uh, The past
- 2:20Speaker 2: two games have just been very like Lister.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Wow.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Just bad all around. I could sling the rock better
- 2:32Speaker 2: than Arch Manning. You know what I'm saying? Sarkeesian, if
- 2:36Speaker 2: you're listening to this, you suck anyways. Just go ahead
- 2:39Speaker 2: and hit me up. I'll put our jersey on. I mean,
- 2:43Speaker 2: I can't do much worse than Arch Manning has. Put
- 2:48Speaker 2: in another quarterback, man. It's not that hard. I see it.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Other people see it. If you've kept up with my Twitter,
- 2:57Speaker 2: I have been very, very inactive for two good reasons. One,
- 3:07Speaker 2: I'm sure everybody saw Dodgers get swept four games. Terrible.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Tarek Scouble, meatballs. Yoshinobu, meatballs. Blake Snow, meatballs. glass now
- 3:21Speaker 2: just meatballs just meatballs across the board and then just
- 3:25Speaker 2: to rope it back into texas um lose a close
- 3:29Speaker 2: game in dallas in the red river rivalry yeah you
- 3:32Speaker 2: know what we'll bounce back from this no we don't
- 3:36Speaker 2: bounce back first quarter against florida we look amazing we
- 3:40Speaker 2: move the ball defense looks solid and then the second
- 3:45Speaker 2: second quarter comes around and we just uh shit the
- 3:47Speaker 2: bucket There's no other words to put it. As soon
- 3:51Speaker 2: as I saw them score right before half, I knew
- 3:53Speaker 2: the game was over right then and there. Turned off
- 3:58Speaker 2: the TV, went to bed. Started doing homework.
- 4:03Speaker 1: You for real went to bed?
- 4:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I took a nap. I woke up, Texas lost.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Did homework the rest of the day. So, life as
- 4:12Speaker 2: a Texas Longhorns fan right now is not great. We
- 4:16Speaker 2: have an absolutely brutal schedule coming up through these next
- 4:19Speaker 2: four or five weeks.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Brutal.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Ole Miss on Saturday. Not looking good. Colin Simmons out
- 4:28Speaker 2: for the season. Wonderful. Arch Manning looks like Mitch Trubisky.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Just throwing up absolute brisket sandwiches to my defense. Arguably
- 4:42Speaker 2: one of the worst defenses in the SEC. stop Texas
- 4:48Speaker 2: and that's just about where it is there's not much
- 4:54Speaker 2: more I can say Texas sucks the Dodgers got swept
- 4:58Speaker 2: and the Broncos continue to be mid so life for me.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Is not great what's funny is that the Broncos have
- 5:05Speaker 1: been winning but it's been like so bad that it's
- 5:10Speaker 1: not even it feels like a loss every week At
- 5:13Speaker 1: the bottom right here, this is Brayden's Twitter handle. You
- 5:15Speaker 1: guys need to actually look at his pinned. I need
- 5:19Speaker 1: you guys to look at his pinned Twitter. As a
- 5:21Speaker 1: matter of fact, you know what?
- 5:22Speaker 2: We're going to go ahead and take that down immediately
- 5:25Speaker 2: because I have not.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Been on there in a couple of days. And I
- 5:31Speaker 1: just want to say, you know, we talked about it
- 5:34Speaker 1: a little bit before. After they beat Tennessee, they went
- 5:37Speaker 1: into a bye week. And it's like, okay. This is
- 5:40Speaker 1: where they regroup. They beat Tennessee. We realize Tennessee's a
- 5:44Speaker 1: really good team after they beat Bama and how high
- 5:46Speaker 1: both of us were on Bama. I think this whole
- 5:50Speaker 1: college football season is just weird, just in general. I
- 5:52Speaker 1: think there's not a definitive team, which it's actually pretty funny.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I know this is kind of a tangent here, but
- 6:00Speaker 1: my dad and I were watching college football and saw
- 6:02Speaker 1: Texas lose to Florida. And he's like, you know what?
- 6:06Speaker 1: I think Georgia is the best team in the league.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Or in the nation. And then they lose to Auburn. So, like,
- 6:13Speaker 1: there's no clear cut. Even Miami. Florida State. I am
- 6:18Speaker 1: a Florida State fan. You see a Florida State flag
- 6:21Speaker 1: back there. I am a diehard Florida State fan. But
- 6:27Speaker 1: we are keeping up with the number one team in
- 6:29Speaker 1: the nation in which some calls were kind of a little...
- 6:33Speaker 1: If we could have possibly won that game right there,
- 6:35Speaker 1: like there's not a definitive team. And if this was
- 6:38Speaker 1: going to be the year for Texas to win it,
- 6:41Speaker 1: it would have been this year because you have Arch Manning.
- 6:44Speaker 1: I think he's still going to declare even with how
- 6:45Speaker 1: bad he's been playing. And you had, this was going
- 6:48Speaker 1: to be your softest portion of the schedule with Oklahoma
- 6:52Speaker 1: and Florida. And Arch Manning driving down the field in
- 6:57Speaker 1: that fourth quarter. And then one thing I don't understand is,
- 7:02Speaker 1: is that Steve Sarkeesian, I talked about it probably like three,
- 7:06Speaker 1: four weeks ago, as far as maybe not being relieved
- 7:09Speaker 1: as a head coach, but as far as an offensive
- 7:12Speaker 1: play caller, I think this needs to be the case
- 7:14Speaker 1: because you go back to when, even in Bama and
- 7:17Speaker 1: even now with Quinn Ewers and now Arch Manning, he
- 7:21Speaker 1: uses the quarterbacks all the same. He doesn't play to
- 7:23Speaker 1: the strengths of the specific quarterback. And Arch Manning, he's
- 7:27Speaker 1: not going to be your perfect pocket passer. Yes, he
- 7:30Speaker 1: is a Manning player, But he's better if you get
- 7:33Speaker 1: him on the run and you use his legs more often,
- 7:35Speaker 1: early and often, and you get him comfortable in the game.
- 7:38Speaker 1: And that just doesn't happen. And we could talk about
- 7:42Speaker 1: that missed field goal that the Texas kicker had. OU,
- 7:45Speaker 1: they went down the field and scored. I don't care
- 7:47Speaker 1: how good the OU defense is. The Texas defense should
- 7:50Speaker 1: have been more than enough to win that ballgame right there.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Then Florida, I don't know what the hell happened. Like, just... Texas,
- 8:01Speaker 1: like you said, they looked good out the first quarter.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Then after that, they got dominated the rest of the game.
- 8:08Speaker 1: And it's not looking good. Trinidad Chambliss, especially with Colin
- 8:12Speaker 1: Simmons out, he is fixing to light up that Texas
- 8:16Speaker 1: team right there. I know Texas is favored. I know
- 8:18Speaker 1: Texas is favored. But Arch Manning, will you perform when
- 8:24Speaker 1: there's money right in front of you? No. No. I
- 8:29Speaker 1: don't know what to think of Arch Manning. I still
- 8:31Speaker 1: think he could be a good quarterback in the NFL,
- 8:35Speaker 1: but I think the hopes that we had of him
- 8:38Speaker 1: being this generational prospect, I think it's slim to none
- 8:43Speaker 1: odds now at this point because he just can't sit
- 8:49Speaker 1: back in the pocket and throw the ball. And not
- 8:51Speaker 1: to mention, I know the Sark offense isn't really meant
- 8:54Speaker 1: for that, but I see him making no checks at
- 8:56Speaker 1: the line, no nothing, no command of the offense. So
- 9:02Speaker 1: I really don't know what to think with Texas. What
- 9:05Speaker 1: really does piss me off is I texted Braden this.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Texas is ranked 19th. Florida is ranked 20th. It's almost
- 9:13Speaker 1: like they could play each other and we could see
- 9:16Speaker 1: the result of the game. So that goes back to
- 9:18Speaker 1: the whole rankings thing and like what to even think
- 9:23Speaker 1: of that, but So I'm going to list the rest
- 9:27Speaker 1: of the schedule for you here, Brayden. Like you mentioned,
- 9:29Speaker 1: Ole Miss, Mississippi State with Kamario Taylor hopefully back, Missouri, LSU, Arkansas,
- 9:37Speaker 1: and then A & M. What will be the record
- 9:40Speaker 1: of the Longhorns at the end of the year? Sitting
- 9:44Speaker 1: at 4-2 right now.
- 9:44Speaker 2: 4-8. The Longhorns just suck.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Jesus.
- 9:54Speaker 2: There's no, there's no, there's no, there's no way of simplifying.
- 10:00Speaker 2: it more. They're going to finish 4-0. We beat Ohio State,
- 10:07Speaker 2: and that was it. That's the last time I was happy.
- 10:13Speaker 1: That was y'all's championship.
- 10:15Speaker 2: I think one nitpick I have about Sarkeesian is, yes,
- 10:18Speaker 2: he was an offensive mastermind But you see this guy
- 10:24Speaker 2: just putting together awful drives, no matter what weapons he
- 10:29Speaker 2: has out there on the field. He has Cam Coleman,
- 10:31Speaker 2: Ryan Wingo, two amazing running backs, and Relique Brown and
- 10:37Speaker 2: Hollywood Smothers. Doesn't utilize him. Arch Manning has his legs.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Doesn't utilize him. And a phenomenal tight end. Doesn't utilize it.
- 10:46Speaker 2: He has absolutely shit his pants off. As far as
- 10:51Speaker 2: an OC, and I think as of now, if he
- 10:54Speaker 2: loses another game this season, he's on the head coach
- 10:57Speaker 2: hot seat. Me and some of my cousins were talking
- 11:00Speaker 2: about this dude has just completely, I don't know what's
- 11:03Speaker 2: going on with him, but it just looks awful. This
- 11:06Speaker 2: dude has wasted so much talent that has come through Texas.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Last year, or two years ago, when Quinn Ewers played bad,
- 11:16Speaker 2: he was quick to bench him and put Arch in
- 11:18Speaker 2: the game. Why won't he do it to Arch? Bench arch,
- 11:22Speaker 2: this dude looks awful, awful in these games. No pocket presence,
- 11:26Speaker 2: like you said, no command of the offense. You see these,
- 11:30Speaker 2: they're loading the box. They know you're going to run
- 11:33Speaker 2: the ball down the gut on a fourth and one.
- 11:35Speaker 2: You're not just going to, you don't have the same
- 11:36Speaker 2: offensive line you had three years ago, two years ago,
- 11:40Speaker 2: that was able to push these guys around. You don't
- 11:42Speaker 2: have that no more. You have a quarterback that can run.
- 11:46Speaker 2: You have two amazing running backs, and you have phenomenal wideouts.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Why aren't you utilizing him? He looks like he's using
- 11:53Speaker 2: Madden plays. Madden recommended plays is what Sarkeesian looks like.
- 11:59Speaker 2: And it's just so frustrating as a Texas fan to
- 12:03Speaker 2: see the path that this has gone down after the
- 12:06Speaker 2: Ohio State game. It was a fluke. The Ohio State
- 12:10Speaker 2: game now was a fluke to me. They're not going
- 12:13Speaker 2: to do anything this season that can cover up these
- 12:17Speaker 2: two losses you lose. two of your easiest should win games.
- 12:22Speaker 2: I don't care how, like you said, I don't care
- 12:24Speaker 2: how good that OU defense is. Your offense should be
- 12:27Speaker 2: arguably better and your defense should be lights out. It's
- 12:32Speaker 2: just what it is. Just awful play in Austin right now.
- 12:37Speaker 2: I hope they turn it around and get some wins here,
- 12:40Speaker 2: but it's not looking good, bruv. Not looking good.
- 12:44Speaker 1: It's It's not looking good, and what's more concerning now
- 12:49Speaker 1: is that since both of our losses was in the SEC,
- 12:53Speaker 1: it's going to be really hard for them. Well, they
- 12:57Speaker 1: still technically have a chance for the SEC championship with
- 13:00Speaker 1: Georgia having a loss, Ole Miss having a loss. They
- 13:02Speaker 1: could beat Ole Miss. They beat Tennessee. Bama has two
- 13:05Speaker 1: SEC losses. So there's still a chance, but I would
- 13:11Speaker 1: prefer it to be– you're in the SEC championship. And
- 13:14Speaker 1: if you lose, you can make the playoffs because we've
- 13:17Speaker 1: seen how the revisionist history goes. If you lose the
- 13:21Speaker 1: SEC championship, you're more than likely going to make it in,
- 13:24Speaker 1: but kind of in a different direction. I want to
- 13:28Speaker 1: talk about an upset that, I mean, this is going
- 13:31Speaker 1: to be a good game no matter what, but this
- 13:34Speaker 1: big upset between BYU and Notre Dame, where it was
- 13:37Speaker 1: a clash of two teams right here. And that was a,
- 13:43Speaker 1: no call or should have been a pass defense I
- 13:45Speaker 1: know the refs they said it a day after the
- 13:47Speaker 1: game between BYU and Notre Dame and Notre Dame went
- 13:52Speaker 1: into BYU and lost 28 to 24 and BYU is
- 13:56Speaker 1: now it's the AP top 25 but they're sitting at
- 13:59Speaker 1: number two so I just want to hear what you
- 14:04Speaker 1: think about BYU being ranked number two and just how
- 14:07Speaker 1: do you feel about both teams now between BYU and
- 14:10Speaker 1: Notre Dame after this game.
- 14:12Speaker 2: This just kind of concretes of what I've said about
- 14:14Speaker 2: Notre Dame. They are not a power five team. I
- 14:17Speaker 2: know I said in the past, you know, people like Texas,
- 14:20Speaker 2: they'd probably be Texas, but this just confirms what I
- 14:25Speaker 2: had to say in these past couple of podcasts that
- 14:27Speaker 2: Notre Dame is not this big team that they were
- 14:30Speaker 2: made out to be. BYU looks great, but at the
- 14:32Speaker 2: end of the day, they're BYU. They're not that, they're
- 14:36Speaker 2: not this flashy team. They just got outplayed and outcoached. Simple.
- 14:41Speaker 2: The fact that a Big 12's team is sitting at
- 14:44Speaker 2: number two grosses me out.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Hey, you were part of that conference once.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Silence. Anyways. Like at this point, Texas Tech beats BYU.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Texas Tech is ranked number one. Ew. The state of
- 15:09Speaker 2: college football right now is eight. It's a wazzy, it's
- 15:11Speaker 2: a woozy, it's a fugazi. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Just a wild turn of events here. The October plot
- 15:22Speaker 2: twist has occurred in college football.
- 15:24Speaker 1: It really has, but I want to say, I just
- 15:27Speaker 1: want to say a shout-out to the BYU head coach.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Hopefully I say his name right, Kalani Sitake. Hopefully I
- 15:34Speaker 1: said it right. I mean, I think he's turned around
- 15:36Speaker 1: the program. Tremendously. They've always been good, but to be
- 15:41Speaker 1: this good, where even beating the Notre Dame, I think
- 15:44Speaker 1: this is one of your biggest wins in recent college football,
- 15:48Speaker 1: unless I go back to Steve Young, which I really
- 15:51Speaker 1: don't remember. But, I mean, just for them to be
- 15:55Speaker 1: in this game and L.J. Martin not even playing, who's
- 15:58Speaker 1: supposed to be, I think, a day two pick in
- 16:02Speaker 1: the following draft, I think this is really impressive for them.
- 16:06Speaker 1: And I think this shows with how wide open college
- 16:08Speaker 1: football is. Like, I'll say this. BYU any other year, honestly,
- 16:15Speaker 1: like even through six games in the season, I would say, oh,
- 16:18Speaker 1: there may be a top five ranked team at best.
- 16:23Speaker 1: But right now you could argue them as the best
- 16:25Speaker 1: team in the nation because there's not been a legitimate
- 16:29Speaker 1: team that's really stamped their mark on being the number
- 16:32Speaker 1: one team. Miami, the first... real opponent they played in
- 16:36Speaker 1: Florida State they went into overtime and there was there
- 16:40Speaker 1: was controversy there BYU we just said Ohio State lost
- 16:44Speaker 1: to Texas who now we see as not as good
- 16:47Speaker 1: and should have lost to Indiana if the if the
- 16:50Speaker 1: quarterback threw a better ball or Nick Marsh he kept
- 16:52Speaker 1: his other foot in Notre Dame we talked about them
- 16:55Speaker 1: Georgia just lost to Auburn so it's a whole mess
- 17:00Speaker 1: right here Ole Miss, we don't know what to think
- 17:03Speaker 1: of them right now because that loss to Florida is
- 17:05Speaker 1: real weird. Texas Tech, yes, they are undefeated. UCLA, yes,
- 17:10Speaker 1: they are undefeated. Utah, yes, they are undefeated. But who
- 17:13Speaker 1: have they really played up to this point? The one
- 17:16Speaker 1: out of those is UCLA. UCLA being a top 10
- 17:19Speaker 1: ranked team, if you would have told me that at
- 17:20Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, I would have thought you
- 17:22Speaker 1: were crazy. Like, this is how crazy this college football
- 17:26Speaker 1: season has been. So, I don't know even what to
- 17:31Speaker 1: think of this. So I don't know if there's anything
- 17:33Speaker 1: out of the top 10 that you kind of saw
- 17:35Speaker 1: that like, that like you want to talk about a
- 17:38Speaker 1: little bit here.
- 17:42Speaker 2: I mean, it's just very, very hard to gauge what
- 17:48Speaker 2: the end of the season is going to look like.
- 17:50Speaker 2: I mean, you have teams that could potentially lose two,
- 17:53Speaker 2: three more games that, at the start of the season,
- 17:56Speaker 2: we thought we're going to make the college football playoff
- 17:58Speaker 2: potentially win the national championship. And you have teams, like
- 18:02Speaker 2: you say, don't play anybody, but they're going to scamper
- 18:05Speaker 2: into the, into the playoffs and probably lose first round,
- 18:09Speaker 2: second round. Um, by this, I mean, Texas tech, God
- 18:15Speaker 2: awful program. Um, and I wish Ryan was here so
- 18:18Speaker 2: I could tell him how God awful his football team is. Uh,
- 18:22Speaker 2: but besides the point, um, It's just a very weird
- 18:27Speaker 2: state that college football is in. We might see some
- 18:33Speaker 2: low underdog team win the college football championship this year.
- 18:36Speaker 2: I know. It should have been Texas.
- 18:38Speaker 1: This is crazy.
- 18:38Speaker 2: It should have been Texas. This was the year. But
- 18:42Speaker 2: we just love to shit the bucket. There's not much
- 18:44Speaker 2: more I can say about it.
- 18:47Speaker 1: And I'm looking right here at last year, week eight.
- 18:50Speaker 1: I'm going to just list you the top ten ranked teams.
- 18:53Speaker 1: And it's like, okay, this shows what I was talking about.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Number one was Ohio State, 6-0. Miami, 5-0. Indiana, 6-0.
- 19:03Speaker 1: A & M, 6-0. Ole Miss, 6-0. Bama, 5-1. Tech, 6-0. Oregon, 5-1. Georgia, 5-1. LSU, 5-1. So, like,
- 19:12Speaker 1: I feel like last year, I have a good gauge of, like,
- 19:15Speaker 1: last year and remembering who the cream of the crop
- 19:17Speaker 1: teams were and who kind of weren't. Notre Dame was
- 19:20Speaker 1: 4-2 last year, and they were ranked 13th. Like, there
- 19:24Speaker 1: was a clear difference. I feel like there's a clear difference,
- 19:28Speaker 1: at least from last year to this year. Like, Ohio
- 19:32Speaker 1: State was a powerhouse last year. Miami, I feel like
- 19:34Speaker 1: they were a lot better team last year. Indiana, Ole Miss,
- 19:38Speaker 1: Texas Tech, Oregon. I would take all those teams over
- 19:41Speaker 1: at BYU this year. Who's ranked the number two team? So,
- 19:48Speaker 1: I i really don't know like byu last year for
- 19:51Speaker 1: this instance there were six and oh and they were
- 19:52Speaker 1: ranked 15th so it just shows how crazy it really
- 19:57Speaker 1: is and which also it's going to get a lot
- 20:01Speaker 1: crazier for the next year in which i think you
- 20:04Speaker 1: kind of know where i'm going college football they officially
- 20:07Speaker 1: agreed to it next year 2027, there's going to be
- 20:10Speaker 1: a 24 team playoff format. So forget the whole top 25.
- 20:16Speaker 1: It's just going to be the top 24 at this point.
- 20:19Speaker 1: So I know we've heard different opinions, but what is
- 20:22Speaker 1: your stance on 24 teams now making the playoffs?
- 20:27Speaker 2: I think that's possibly one of the worst decisions I've
- 20:31Speaker 2: ever heard. I thought it was a lot with the
- 20:34Speaker 2: 12 team college football playoff but to have 24 teams
- 20:40Speaker 2: in a playoff is god-awful because you see some of
- 20:43Speaker 2: these teams that are in the top 24 right now
- 20:45Speaker 2: don't deserve to be here they're god-awful teams that just
- 20:49Speaker 2: play god-awful opponents you have let me.
- 20:52Speaker 1: See here i'm gonna share my screen this is from
- 20:57Speaker 1: last year but like i just want to kind of
- 21:00Speaker 1: give like the people listening or the people who are
- 21:05Speaker 1: watching this to kind of get an idea on, like,
- 21:07Speaker 1: how it would look. So, like, it just looks really weird.
- 21:11Speaker 1: But go ahead, Brady.
- 21:13Speaker 2: I just think it's a very weird thing that they're
- 21:16Speaker 2: trying to implement. I like the four-team playoffs. I like
- 21:19Speaker 2: the 12-team playoffs. But 24, I think, is just way
- 21:22Speaker 2: too much. And that's coming from a Texas fan. Without
- 21:26Speaker 2: it being implemented last year, we go to the playoffs.
- 21:28Speaker 2: But I don't think for the state, college football and
- 21:32Speaker 2: how these games play out and how the seasons play
- 21:35Speaker 2: out it's important to have these teams feel like it's
- 21:39Speaker 2: important that you can't lose one game you can't lose
- 21:42Speaker 2: two games because there goes your college football playoff hopes
- 21:45Speaker 2: and this just allows for a whole kind of thing.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Like i get it in theory as far as because
- 21:56Speaker 1: i feel like I think after what Notre Dame did
- 22:00Speaker 1: this year and what Miami did this year as far
- 22:03Speaker 1: as not scheduling big-time opponents other than each other. I
- 22:08Speaker 1: know Notre Dame ended up scheduling BYU. It became a
- 22:10Speaker 1: primetime game, but even at that, they didn't face the
- 22:15Speaker 1: big-time teams. They're not going to be facing anybody else
- 22:18Speaker 1: anytime soon. I just think that it's kind of overkill,
- 22:23Speaker 1: like you're saying. It's overkill with the fact that Now teams,
- 22:28Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing, a sense of urgency.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Like you're not going to have, say, for instance, a
- 22:35Speaker 1: team's down 14-0, like Ohio State and Penn State are
- 22:38Speaker 1: playing each other. Say Penn State's down 14-0. Say, all right,
- 22:42Speaker 1: we could just put the nail on the coffin. We
- 22:44Speaker 1: could just chalk this one up. Let's rest for next week.
- 22:47Speaker 1: As long as we get to nine wins on the year,
- 22:48Speaker 1: make the top 24, then we'll be good. We'll be
- 22:51Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So, like, you think, oh, we're going
- 22:54Speaker 1: to be able to schedule all these primetime games. But no,
- 22:57Speaker 1: if anything, it's going to be like, we don't need
- 22:59Speaker 1: to win this game. So there's not going to be,
- 23:01Speaker 1: like you're saying, when there was four, there wasn't many
- 23:06Speaker 1: primetime games where it's like Michigan, Ohio State, Bama, Georgia
- 23:11Speaker 1: in the regular season, Penn State, Ohio State, or Oregon
- 23:15Speaker 1: versus whoever, USC. You would see these teams where it's like,
- 23:20Speaker 1: if we lose this game, We are going to be out.
- 23:22Speaker 1: So you saw some of the greatest football ever. And
- 23:26Speaker 1: I think 12, I think that was fine, giving the
- 23:28Speaker 1: top four teams a bye. But I think now up
- 23:32Speaker 1: to this point, up to this point now, it's like
- 23:35Speaker 1: you're going to have teams like, for example, let me
- 23:38Speaker 1: go to who the 24th team is. So you're going
- 23:43Speaker 1: to have Northwestern. You're going to have Northwestern playing Georgia.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Dude.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Do people really want to see Northwestern playing Georgia? Like,
- 23:53Speaker 1: no disrespect. I don't know if we have any Northwestern
- 23:56Speaker 1: fans here. But that would be a curb stomping. I get, like,
- 24:00Speaker 1: maybe if you, like, meet in the middle, like, Kentucky, Bama. Like,
- 24:04Speaker 1: there will be two to three, maybe four games at
- 24:07Speaker 1: most where it's close. But these other games, like, there's
- 24:11Speaker 1: no business. There's really no business. Like, people, they're going
- 24:14Speaker 1: to be tuning in for the first half and then
- 24:16Speaker 1: see it's 40-0. It's like, okay, okay. Well, let me
- 24:19Speaker 1: just turn off this game now. Like, I don't get it.
- 24:24Speaker 1: It's overkill. And honestly, I'm not trying to bring this
- 24:27Speaker 1: back to Florida State, but I think this all stems
- 24:30Speaker 1: back to when Florida State, as an undefeated team, missed
- 24:33Speaker 1: the top four of the college football playoff. I think
- 24:36Speaker 1: that's where it stems from as far as just like, oh,
- 24:39Speaker 1: we left a good team out. Let's expand it to 12. Oh, well,
- 24:42Speaker 1: we're leaving the 13th team ranked out in Texas. Let's
- 24:45Speaker 1: expand it to 24. I wonder where, like, if they've
- 24:49Speaker 1: already done this in a span of three years, where
- 24:51Speaker 1: can they take this next? Like, I feel like it
- 24:54Speaker 1: could only get worse from this point forward. You can't
- 24:57Speaker 1: lower it no more. You can't go back down to
- 24:59Speaker 1: the top four. So, I don't know. Just really weird
- 25:06Speaker 1: in my opinion here. But maybe, do you think it'll
- 25:12Speaker 1: bring more balance? Yes.
- 25:14Speaker 2: Not at all. I think they should have never gone
- 25:17Speaker 2: to a– I think at most maybe a 10-team playoff.
- 25:22Speaker 2: But expanding it even more just causes these discrepancies in
- 25:28Speaker 2: the college football playoff. You're knocking off, like you said,
- 25:31Speaker 2: important games where in this season you have vital, pivotal games.
- 25:35Speaker 2: Like you said, you have your Ohio State-Michigan, which if
- 25:39Speaker 2: Ohio State is sitting at the top of the Big
- 25:42Speaker 2: Ten– and they lose to a Michigan team, that puts
- 25:47Speaker 2: their season in jeopardy. Then you have people like your
- 25:52Speaker 2: Alabama Auburns. If Alabama's at the top of the SEC,
- 25:55Speaker 2: they get knocked off by an Auburn team, LSU team
- 25:57Speaker 2: that was ranking lower than them. It messes up their
- 26:00Speaker 2: chance to go to the playoffs. But for the longest time,
- 26:04Speaker 2: we saw the best of the best in the college
- 26:07Speaker 2: football playoffs. Very rarely did we get blowouts in the
- 26:11Speaker 2: college football playoff. That's what they need to go back
- 26:15Speaker 2: to because that's what made college football so great. You
- 26:18Speaker 2: knew that if you were watching a game in December,
- 26:22Speaker 2: college football playoff, it was going to be a good game.
- 26:24Speaker 2: You were going to sit there and you were going
- 26:25Speaker 2: to watch that game from the first whistle to the
- 26:28Speaker 2: last whistle, no matter the team. If you liked them,
- 26:31Speaker 2: if you hated them, you were sitting there and you
- 26:32Speaker 2: were watching that whole game. But now it's just with
- 26:39Speaker 2: everything that's gone on with college football, whether it be NIL, scheduling,
- 26:44Speaker 2: Conference realignment. They're just doing too much to the game
- 26:47Speaker 2: at this point. I don't like where college football is
- 26:52Speaker 2: sitting right now. I don't.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just think that, like, just looking at
- 26:58Speaker 1: this in general, you saw at most, like, two to
- 27:03Speaker 1: three losses in teams making the college football playoff. But now...
- 27:08Speaker 1: It just doesn't sit right with me, knowing the history
- 27:12Speaker 1: of college football. Are you going to see a team
- 27:13Speaker 1: with four losses make the college football playoffs? You're going
- 27:17Speaker 1: to see teams with five losses in the college football playoffs,
- 27:21Speaker 1: and that just doesn't sit right. Literally three years ago,
- 27:26Speaker 1: Florida State was undefeated, and they missed the college football
- 27:29Speaker 1: playoffs for a one-loss Bama team. So it just doesn't
- 27:34Speaker 1: sit right. I think... I felt like 12 was a
- 27:37Speaker 1: little overkill. I felt like you were saying 10 would
- 27:40Speaker 1: have been the best, and the top two teams get
- 27:43Speaker 1: a bye week. That would have been the best right there. But,
- 27:47Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. There's no turning it back now,
- 27:51Speaker 1: but I get like there'll be more playoff games, quote-unquote,
- 27:55Speaker 1: so like there'll be more hype around it. I don't know.
- 27:59Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I'm just trying to look at it as
- 28:01Speaker 1: like a devil's advocate. Maybe it'll bring more balance. because
- 28:04Speaker 1: you'll have more players maybe in the transfer portal and
- 28:06Speaker 1: recruiting system being like okay I can go to SMU
- 28:11Speaker 1: and I could still be on big time nationally televised
- 28:14Speaker 1: games or I could go to Wake Forest I go
- 28:17Speaker 1: to Iowa I go to Houston I'm using teams in
- 28:21Speaker 1: the top 24 for this for this year for this
- 28:23Speaker 1: instance it's like I could still get on the marquee
- 28:26Speaker 1: games or they could still see me instead of having
- 28:29Speaker 1: to go to just your powerhouse your Texas your Ohio
- 28:32Speaker 1: State your Georgia your Bama your Like those teams right there.
- 28:36Speaker 1: So maybe that's what it could do right there. But
- 28:41Speaker 1: even at that, I don't know what to think. And
- 28:46Speaker 1: I've been sitting on this topic for like a week
- 28:49Speaker 1: now since we've recorded. But I don't know if there's
- 28:54Speaker 1: any other game you want to talk about in general.
- 28:58Speaker 1: Or I don't know if you just want to go
- 28:59Speaker 1: to games this week and kind of. See interesting matchups.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Let's jump into games this week, see what we got
- 29:05Speaker 2: going on. I had to take an extended hiatus for
- 29:09Speaker 2: my mental health.
- 29:12Speaker 1: He really did. So, a big-time game right here is
- 29:17Speaker 1: Houston and Utah. 14th-ranked Houston and number 10-ranked Utah. So,
- 29:24Speaker 1: I don't know how you feel about this game. Who's
- 29:26Speaker 1: winning this one?
- 29:29Speaker 2: What did you say? I'm sorry. I was zoned out.
- 29:30Speaker 2: What did you say?
- 29:32Speaker 1: No, Houston and Utah.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Give me... Houston. I'll take Houston in that one.
- 29:42Speaker 1: I think this one's tough, but I'm going to take
- 29:46Speaker 1: the Utes. I feel like the Utes, they've been here.
- 29:49Speaker 1: They've been in these big-time games before it is in Utah. But,
- 29:53Speaker 1: I mean, you could argue Houston with how dominant Houston
- 29:58Speaker 1: they've been running the ball this year. But let's get
- 30:02Speaker 1: to your game right here, the Texas and Ole Miss
- 30:04Speaker 1: game right here, which it's a primetime game at 630.
- 30:09Speaker 1: You said you're going to be coming over Saturday, so
- 30:11Speaker 1: we're going to be watching this game. So I'm going
- 30:15Speaker 1: to be Bob Ross, by the way, so you're going
- 30:17Speaker 1: to have Bob Ross sitting right next to you watching
- 30:20Speaker 1: the Texas game. So who's winning this one, Ole Miss
- 30:26Speaker 1: or Texas?
- 30:26Speaker 2: Ole Miss. Ole Miss. We're going to get absolutely shredded
- 30:31Speaker 2: by Trinidad Chandlers in that Ole Miss offense. They're going
- 30:34Speaker 2: to be looked– it's just going to be an embarrassing
- 30:37Speaker 2: show there in Austin. I don't expect much out of
- 30:42Speaker 2: Sarkeesian and the Texas Longhorns. I think they get absolutely
- 30:45Speaker 2: hornswoggled at home. Stadium's probably going to be empty by
- 30:49Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. I hope they prove me wrong. I
- 30:52Speaker 2: really do. I hope they turn it around. I hope
- 30:54Speaker 2: they had a good week at practice and turn this
- 30:57Speaker 2: around so I don't have to– take an even longer
- 31:00Speaker 2: hiatus on my twitter and go back and have some
- 31:03Speaker 2: humility but i just i don't see a four and
- 31:09Speaker 2: two texas team beating this old miss team maybe i
- 31:13Speaker 2: hope they do but i doubt it i hope they
- 31:18Speaker 2: do but i doubt it at the same time i
- 31:19Speaker 2: think it's going to be a very very one-way show
- 31:24Speaker 2: as far as old miss i think their offense is
- 31:26Speaker 2: just too overpowering for our defense at this point. I mean,
- 31:32Speaker 2: if a Florida team can do the numbers that they
- 31:34Speaker 2: did in the second half against Texas and John Mateer,
- 31:40Speaker 2: I can't believe they lost to him. I just can't
- 31:43Speaker 2: wrap my head around it. I don't know. For my
- 31:49Speaker 2: sake and my sanity, I hope Texas wins this game.
- 31:53Speaker 2: But as an official prediction, I'm putting at 30. 14,
- 31:57Speaker 2: Ole Miss.
- 32:00Speaker 1: You know what's funny, Braden, as far as looking outside
- 32:04Speaker 1: and not being a Texas fan, thank goodness, which there's
- 32:09Speaker 1: no expectations from Florida State, just fun competitive games. I
- 32:14Speaker 1: think it's so funny, but I truly believe Texas is
- 32:18Speaker 1: going to turn around and win this game. They're going
- 32:20Speaker 1: to flip this whole, you think it's crazy right now,
- 32:24Speaker 1: this college football playoffs right now, what we're going to see.
- 32:27Speaker 1: I think Texas is about to rear its ugly head
- 32:30Speaker 1: and shake this thing up even more. Because I think,
- 32:33Speaker 1: what if, I said this two weeks ago, Texas always
- 32:38Speaker 1: plays up to the competition. Always do. They play down
- 32:42Speaker 1: to their competition too. So knowing these last two losses,
- 32:46Speaker 1: it's a bad taste in their mouth. Arch needs to
- 32:49Speaker 1: have a bounce back game. And now there's been speculation
- 32:53Speaker 1: the entire time the past week or so it's been brewing.
- 32:56Speaker 1: Should Arch get benched? Steve Sarkeesian, they're calling for his job.
- 33:01Speaker 1: There's been even different questions. I saw one crazy question
- 33:06Speaker 1: where a reporter asked Steve Sarkeesian as far as, do
- 33:10Speaker 1: you feel safe with your job? So that being on
- 33:14Speaker 1: the back of their mind, I know they lost Colin Simmons,
- 33:16Speaker 1: who is going to be one of the best prospects
- 33:18Speaker 1: going into this draft this year, but there is more
- 33:20Speaker 1: than enough talent there at Texas. I think they are going,
- 33:23Speaker 1: even though they're favored, I feel like consensus of the
- 33:26Speaker 1: public is saying Ole Miss is going to win. I
- 33:29Speaker 1: think Texas is going to shock the people and they're
- 33:31Speaker 1: going to turn around and beat Ole Miss. And I
- 33:34Speaker 1: think it's going to be in for a fun SEC
- 33:37Speaker 1: right here. So don't tell me I'm not going to
- 33:40Speaker 1: say what the score is or anything, but I just
- 33:45Speaker 1: have a gut feeling. This is no pure analysis here.
- 33:48Speaker 1: This is no like, no analysis at all here. Just
- 33:52Speaker 1: pure gut feeling. I think Texas is winning this game
- 33:56Speaker 1: right here. You look disgusted. You look disgusted by that statement.
- 34:05Speaker 2: Very disgusted. And I'm saying this.
- 34:10Speaker 1: I know you like my rant. I know deep down
- 34:12Speaker 1: in your heart, I know you like my rant. I
- 34:14Speaker 1: know you did.
- 34:16Speaker 2: This will all come down, and I have I've been
- 34:19Speaker 2: a Texas fan since I was a kid. I get
- 34:22Speaker 2: the feeling every morning when I wake up and turn
- 34:24Speaker 2: on college football, I know that morning if they're going
- 34:28Speaker 2: to win or if they're going to lose. And when
- 34:31Speaker 2: I woke up for OU, I had that gut feeling.
- 34:34Speaker 2: They're going to lose this game today. Same thing with Florida.
- 34:37Speaker 2: I woke up. They're not going to win this game.
- 34:39Speaker 2: And it just cemented when I saw them score right
- 34:44Speaker 2: before the half. It just cemented it. I mean, I
- 34:50Speaker 2: hope they can turn it around. If they beat a
- 34:53Speaker 2: top 10 team, hopefully that catapults us back up and
- 34:57Speaker 2: gives us a good look. But losing against two unranked
- 35:01Speaker 2: teams is very hard to come back from. And we'll
- 35:04Speaker 2: see what the AP Top 25 committee has to say
- 35:08Speaker 2: about that at the end of the season when it
- 35:10Speaker 2: comes down to picking teams that go in to the
- 35:16Speaker 2: college football playoffs. Because maybe Texas wins out. Hopefully Texas
- 35:19Speaker 2: wins out and can catapult themselves to the college football playoffs.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Hopefully A & M can beat Alabama. So when Texas
- 35:29Speaker 2: goes down there, they play at least a raked opponent.
- 35:33Speaker 2: But I don't know. The current state of Texas football
- 35:36Speaker 2: and college football as a whole is very just very–
- 35:40Speaker 2: I don't even want to– just bad.
- 35:44Speaker 1: Just disgusted.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Gross.
- 35:47Speaker 1: No, well, I– I think this is enough college football
- 35:50Speaker 1: right here. We're going to... I don't think by this weekend,
- 35:54Speaker 1: but I think give it another two weeks, I feel
- 35:57Speaker 1: like we'll have a clearer sense. Even though it's usually
- 36:01Speaker 1: taken like about one to two or three to four
- 36:05Speaker 1: weeks in college football, you kind of have a consensus
- 36:07Speaker 1: saying like, who's a good team, who's a bad team,
- 36:09Speaker 1: who's signing out? You kind of have a consensus, but...
- 36:15Speaker 1: I think given another couple of weeks, you're going to see,
- 36:18Speaker 1: you're going to see who's going to be the cream
- 36:20Speaker 1: of the crop here, but let's go ahead and talk
- 36:23Speaker 1: some baseball here. So it's also been a while since
- 36:27Speaker 1: we talked some MLB and the last time this happened,
- 36:34Speaker 1: we were in the divisional round that Atlanta Braves. I
- 36:37Speaker 1: remember I called out Ronald Acuna specifically long story short,
- 36:42Speaker 1: he didn't perform when there was money right in front
- 36:44Speaker 1: of him. Um, Brewers beat the Padres in a pretty
- 36:51Speaker 1: quick fashion. Mason Miller, which is a guy that you
- 36:55Speaker 1: hated on, he got bombed. I think we talked about
- 36:59Speaker 1: that on the last one. The Rays, they beat the Yankees.
- 37:03Speaker 1: Guardians in the White Sox, a classic series right there.
- 37:07Speaker 1: And then Rays come back, beat the Guardians. And the
- 37:10Speaker 1: Brewers upset the Dodgers. They sweep the Dodgers. So before
- 37:16Speaker 1: we get into the MLB World Series right here, I
- 37:21Speaker 1: know you said you had a rough time these past
- 37:24Speaker 1: two weeks as a sports fan. But I want to
- 37:27Speaker 1: hear it as a Dodgers fan right here. Where you
- 37:31Speaker 1: said before the postseason, Brewers are going to do Brewers things.
- 37:36Speaker 1: And hey, they did Brewers things like as if it
- 37:40Speaker 1: was a regular season. So how do you feel about
- 37:44Speaker 1: your Dodgers, Brayden?
- 37:50Speaker 2: I just, it was a shocker. As soon as, I mean,
- 37:54Speaker 2: game one, Tarek Skobel versus Jacob Mizorowski. I mean, they
- 37:58Speaker 2: had a very competitive fight. We didn't show up at
- 38:00Speaker 2: the plate. Tarek gives up that extra run. And we
- 38:03Speaker 2: just couldn't beat the Brewers. Move on to game two.
- 38:06Speaker 2: Yoshi Noble goes two innings, four earned runs, I believe.
- 38:12Speaker 2: And Doc Bullsum turns into a bullpen game at that
- 38:18Speaker 2: point and we lose that game game three you go
- 38:22Speaker 2: back to la you're expecting big things out of blake
- 38:25Speaker 2: snow doesn't do much better gives up three earned runs
- 38:29Speaker 2: um game four tyler glasnow gives up i believe three
- 38:35Speaker 2: earned runs and then bullpen gives up another three not
- 38:38Speaker 2: very good um big guys just not showing up at
- 38:42Speaker 2: the plate freddie freeman didn't look very hot Shohei Otani
- 38:46Speaker 2: was absolutely gone from the series outside of his one
- 38:50Speaker 2: home run. Thank God he got one. I was hoping
- 38:56Speaker 2: that that home run was going to turn things around,
- 38:59Speaker 2: spark the offense a little bit, but it kind of
- 39:01Speaker 2: just did the opposite after that home run. Not very
- 39:04Speaker 2: much life. But now we're at the end of the season,
- 39:08Speaker 2: and it's time to just reflect, see what the Dodgers
- 39:11Speaker 2: can come back and do. Hopefully that prevented a lockout
- 39:14Speaker 2: in 27. I think it was a very strategic play
- 39:19Speaker 2: by the Dodgers, so they can just go get more players.
- 39:22Speaker 2: That's just me coping. I'm in the denial stage.
- 39:26Speaker 1: I was about to say, I've heard a bunch of
- 39:28Speaker 1: Dodgers fans coping. with that saying, oh, we did this
- 39:32Speaker 1: on purpose. We lost to the Brewers on purpose. Co-parter, bro. Co-parter.
- 39:39Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a coping mechanism where I battle between denial, anger,
- 39:44Speaker 2: and bargaining. Shout out my psych majors out there. You
- 39:48Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:51Speaker 2: Yeah so i think it's just it sucks it sucks
- 39:57Speaker 2: to see how the doggies went down it was could
- 39:59Speaker 2: have been a three-peat but hopefully they can they can
- 40:02Speaker 2: regroup in the offseason get some good players get some
- 40:06Speaker 2: players off the team they need to be off the
- 40:07Speaker 2: team uh by off the team i mean you me
- 40:15Speaker 2: I'm just playing now. You're talking to me? I can't
- 40:19Speaker 2: say that on here, but for all my ball knowers,
- 40:23Speaker 2: all my IG real watchers, TikTok.
- 40:25Speaker 1: Enthusiasts, you know who I'm talking about.
- 40:27Speaker 2: You're talking to me? No, him. Shout out to all
- 40:34Speaker 2: the ball knowers out there. Hopefully, I think in terms
- 40:40Speaker 2: of the Dodgers, Shohei needs to pick if he wants
- 40:42Speaker 2: to pitch. or if he wants to DH cause this,
- 40:46Speaker 2: this season was not very good for him. It was,
- 40:49Speaker 2: it was a down year for Shohei Otani. Um, hopefully
- 40:53Speaker 2: we get Tarek Skobo back. We're going to have Yoshinobu,
- 40:55Speaker 2: Blake Snow. Um, hopefully we can get some more guys
- 41:00Speaker 2: in the bullpen. Um, Travis Travis Scott shout out Travis
- 41:05Speaker 2: Scott though Tanner Scott it's been a long day.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Guys Travis Scott will be the savior of the Dodgers.
- 41:15Speaker 3: Straight up not first opportune shout out shout out Travis
- 41:20Speaker 3: Scott shout out the Odyssey go to the movie it's
- 41:24Speaker 3: been a long day guys give me some grace.
- 41:30Speaker 2: It's been a long day We need to edit that out.
- 41:35Speaker 1: No, no. This part is staying here. The savior of
- 41:42Speaker 1: the Dodgers is going to be Travis Scott.
- 41:48Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. If you know which picture I'm about
- 41:51Speaker 2: to pull up, then you know.
- 41:54Speaker 1: Yes, I already know which picture you're going to pull up.
- 41:58Speaker 1: That stupid fish one. I already know. Oh, my gosh. No, but.
- 42:06Speaker 1: Hold on.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Before we continue, this is a man that's going to
- 42:12Speaker 2: save the Dodgers.
- 42:14Speaker 1: Yes, I was thinking of that one, too.
- 42:19Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. This is going to be the man
- 42:21Speaker 2: that's going to save the Dodgers. He's going to cause
- 42:24Speaker 2: a 20-day lockout.
- 42:26Speaker 1: He's going to cause a lockout, Travis Scott. Yeah.
- 42:30Speaker 4: But back to a real note, hopefully Shohei Otani just
- 42:34Speaker 4: gets the rehab and what he needs in the offseason.
- 42:37Speaker 4: Hopefully we get some real guys in the bullpen to
- 42:40Speaker 4: kind of help, you know, some of the struggles that
- 42:42Speaker 4: we have had because this has been a struggle since 2025.
- 42:44Speaker 4: And hopefully we get another arm at it if we
- 42:49Speaker 4: don't keep Tarek Skobel. Hopefully we get– I know there's
- 42:53Speaker 4: going to be some guys that are going into– Free agency,
- 42:57Speaker 4: Kike Hernandez, of course, Derek Skrubal. We only signed him
- 43:00Speaker 4: to a one-year contract. Alex Bessie, Evan Phillips. I feel
- 43:04Speaker 4: like we should get maybe Kike.
- 43:09Speaker 2: That's very iffy just because, I mean, the only time
- 43:12Speaker 2: he's very useful to the Dodgers, as everybody knows, is
- 43:14Speaker 2: in October. Alex Bessie has been another great bullpen guy
- 43:20Speaker 2: that we've had for a couple years. Evan Phillips, I
- 43:23Speaker 2: feel like we'll be fine to trade him, get some
- 43:25Speaker 2: young talent Tarek Skubal, I think a lot of teams
- 43:30Speaker 2: are going to be going dollar for dollar with the
- 43:32Speaker 2: Dodgers here just to get them on their team. Teams
- 43:34Speaker 2: like the Mets. Detroit's going to try and get him back.
- 43:38Speaker 2: I mean, who knows? I don't think the Padres will
- 43:40Speaker 2: probably try and go for him. I don't see them
- 43:43Speaker 2: getting him. I know for sure the Giants are going
- 43:46Speaker 2: to go pretty heavy in on Tarek Skubal, Blue Jays.
- 43:51Speaker 2: But hopefully we can get some guys back on the Dodgers.
- 43:56Speaker 2: see what we can do. If not, then our chances
- 44:00Speaker 2: of winning the chip in 27 is pretty grim. Yeah.
- 44:06Speaker 1: Well, just as far as from this NLCS, I think
- 44:11Speaker 1: game one, I think it was a shoo-in for the Brewers.
- 44:13Speaker 1: Brewers had Mizorowski up on the mound. I know it
- 44:17Speaker 1: was Tarek Skubal, but Mizorowski, he's been the best pitcher
- 44:22Speaker 1: by far the entire season. The entire year. So I
- 44:25Speaker 1: kind of chalked that one up to them. That's going
- 44:32Speaker 1: to have to be a meme on the pod from
- 44:34Speaker 1: this point forward. I'm going to have to download that picture.
- 44:36Speaker 1: And I'm going to put it as the logo every
- 44:40Speaker 1: time we're talking baseball. Yeah, I just chalked it up.
- 44:45Speaker 1: I just chalked it up. I was like, okay. Dodgers
- 44:49Speaker 1: are going to lose this game. But it's still... If
- 44:52Speaker 1: you win one on the road against Milwaukee, then you'll
- 44:55Speaker 1: have a chance. But then it's like, okay, Dodgers just
- 44:58Speaker 1: scored in the second game to start off 1-0. And
- 45:00Speaker 1: then Brewers, they just spawned right back. The next thing
- 45:03Speaker 1: you know, it's 2-1. It's like, okay, Dodgers up. You're
- 45:07Speaker 1: kind of finding your rhythm of this game. Long story short,
- 45:10Speaker 1: it's 4-3 in the fifth inning. The game is still
- 45:13Speaker 1: intact right here. But then that fifth inning, I feel
- 45:16Speaker 1: like after William Contreras, who was a brave– I feel
- 45:20Speaker 1: like he had an outstanding series. Had an outstanding series,
- 45:24Speaker 1: this one. And I'm not going to look at your phone.
- 45:28Speaker 1: But he just ended up dominating this series. And I
- 45:31Speaker 1: just think that's what killed the Dodgers every single time.
- 45:36Speaker 1: Is that every time that it went to the sixth
- 45:45Speaker 1: inning on, the Brewers, they just started scoring runs. And
- 45:49Speaker 1: they knew exactly what to do. They were playing smart baseball.
- 45:52Speaker 1: They were playing small ball baseball. And that would just
- 45:55Speaker 1: get these pitchers, these aces, maybe not scoring as many
- 45:59Speaker 1: runs as you thought they were, but in those early innings,
- 46:02Speaker 1: getting them up to a high pitch count, maybe like
- 46:05Speaker 1: 50 to 60 pitches. So they had only two more innings.
- 46:08Speaker 1: They got to maybe the fourth or fifth inning at most.
- 46:11Speaker 1: So where did they do their damage? In the sixth, seventh, eighth,
- 46:14Speaker 1: and the ninth inning, if they had to. That's exactly
- 46:18Speaker 1: what they did. And so, yeah, 6-7. This baseball portion
- 46:23Speaker 1: is so unserious right now. But game four, right before
- 46:28Speaker 1: game four, it's like, oh, there's talks about benching Ohtani
- 46:31Speaker 1: for a rookie who's been in the association for a month,
- 46:35Speaker 1: which I knew they weren't going to then. Ohtani ends
- 46:38Speaker 1: up hitting a home run. They're up 4-0 in the
- 46:40Speaker 1: second inning. It's like, okay, well, the Dodgers are going
- 46:43Speaker 1: to win this game by far. I think this is
- 46:47Speaker 1: set in stone. But then what happened once again? The
- 46:50Speaker 1: fourth inning, the fifth inning, the sixth inning just killed them.
- 46:54Speaker 1: Majority of the time, it was the fifth and sixth
- 46:56Speaker 1: inning where the pitchers, their aces were high in the
- 46:59Speaker 1: pitch counts. And they just started getting rocked because I
- 47:03Speaker 1: feel like it's kind of consensus with most pitchers. They
- 47:07Speaker 1: get to like... the fifth inning, and anywhere from the
- 47:10Speaker 1: fifth to the seventh, that's when you could see those
- 47:13Speaker 1: aces start getting rocked. And that's what happened every single time.
- 47:16Speaker 1: It was a formula over and over and over and
- 47:19Speaker 1: over and over again. And this is the first time
- 47:22Speaker 1: that the Brewers are heading to the World Series since 82. Yes,
- 47:25Speaker 1: shout out to Travis Scott and Tanner Scott, both of them.
- 47:28Speaker 1: But I don't know if you heard about this, Brayden.
- 47:33Speaker 1: So there was this thing the Brewers, they came up with.
- 47:37Speaker 1: in 20, I think it was like 2015, something like that.
- 47:40Speaker 1: It's called like the Golden Ticket or something like that.
- 47:44Speaker 1: So fans, they bought it for $ 1, 000. And they said
- 47:48Speaker 1: any game, any game, it could be a playoff game,
- 47:51Speaker 1: a World Series game, if you buy the Golden Ticket,
- 47:54Speaker 1: you get the best seat in the house. And now
- 47:57Speaker 1: that they're in the World Series, they're refusing to honor
- 48:00Speaker 1: the Golden Ticket thing. So just as a fan, how
- 48:04Speaker 1: do you feel... How do you feel about that? Do
- 48:06Speaker 1: you feel like that's wrong by the Dodgers right there?
- 48:08Speaker 1: Or not the Dodgers, the Brewers?
- 48:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it is wrong because you know they
- 48:14Speaker 2: didn't expect to go to a World Series because that
- 48:17Speaker 2: organization is god-awful. There's going to be an investigation. They
- 48:21Speaker 2: were using trash cans. That's all I got to say.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 48:25Speaker 2: That's how they beat the Dodgers. It was a trash can.
- 48:29Speaker 2: I'm calling it out.
- 48:30Speaker 1: It was a trash can. No, but. No, I'm completely surprised.
- 48:35Speaker 1: The Rays, honestly, they wrecked shop the entire time.
- 48:39Speaker 2: Shout out, Rays.
- 48:42Speaker 1: The Rays, their bullpen is amazing. I think just from
- 48:46Speaker 1: their starting pitch and all the way to their closing,
- 48:48Speaker 1: it's just amazing. J-Ram and company, they put up a
- 48:52Speaker 1: great fight. But I think after the Guardians, they went
- 48:56Speaker 1: up 2-1. You saw the Rays. They started to just
- 48:59Speaker 1: prove how good they really were. Then they're hitting... It
- 49:02Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily dominant, but they were just doing just enough.
- 49:08Speaker 1: The Guardians, looking back at it the entire time, the
- 49:12Speaker 1: Guardians scored one run. They scored they scored three runs
- 49:17Speaker 1: they scored three runs one run three runs so like
- 49:21Speaker 1: you just show how dominant these pitches are so honestly
- 49:25Speaker 1: if the rays they get to four runs four or
- 49:27Speaker 1: five runs they're good they're they're pitching they could do
- 49:30Speaker 1: the rest so now getting into this world series where
- 49:35Speaker 1: it's a number one versus number one we were both
- 49:38Speaker 1: we were both iffy about it as far as will
- 49:42Speaker 1: these teams make it but over the last time since
- 49:46Speaker 1: 1995 where the seeding has happened as far as number
- 49:50Speaker 1: one number one seed facing the other number one seed
- 49:53Speaker 1: it's only happened six times the Braves the Braves and
- 49:58Speaker 1: the Cleveland Guardians which were the Indians Yankees and the
- 50:01Speaker 1: Braves Red Sox Cardinals dodgers race the dodgers and the
- 50:05Speaker 1: yankees and now the brewers in the race so we
- 50:07Speaker 1: don't see this that often we we don't so just
- 50:13Speaker 1: overall what are you expecting from this series right here
- 50:16Speaker 1: brayden and last but most importantly who is winning this
- 50:21Speaker 1: series right.
- 50:22Speaker 2: Here i'm expecting big things out of this world series
- 50:26Speaker 2: um i'm expecting it to go a full seven um
- 50:30Speaker 2: I ultimately think that the Rays are going to take it.
- 50:32Speaker 2: I'm praying that the Rays take it because I cannot
- 50:36Speaker 2: stand to see the Brewers hoist that trophy. I would
- 50:38Speaker 2: rather have the Rays lift it and then us come
- 50:42Speaker 2: back next year and just absolutely take it back again
- 50:44Speaker 2: in good Dodgers fashion once we get everybody. But that
- 50:49Speaker 2: being said, I really don't want either team to win.
- 50:53Speaker 1: You don't want either team to win? So you're picking
- 50:57Speaker 1: Rays in seven. Is that your final? I don't know
- 51:05Speaker 1: how to feel about this because Jacob Mizorowski, he clearly
- 51:10Speaker 1: is the best pitcher, like I was saying. But the Rays,
- 51:15Speaker 1: they might not have the name as far as the pitchers-wise,
- 51:21Speaker 1: but they have a bunch of guys. Peralta, they have
- 51:25Speaker 1: Nick Martinez, and they have several other guys that are
- 51:29Speaker 1: not as the tier of Jacob Misurowski, in which I
- 51:33Speaker 1: know the Brewers, they have a bunch of other pitchers,
- 51:35Speaker 1: but I just can't think of their names right now.
- 51:37Speaker 1: But they kind of, I say star power kind of
- 51:41Speaker 1: goes to the Brewers, but the Rays collectively as a team,
- 51:45Speaker 1: that's where they have that advantage. And I feel like
- 51:47Speaker 1: both of these teams are kind of, sitting on even
- 51:50Speaker 1: playing field. But I would say who the hottest team
- 51:52Speaker 1: right now is the Brewers. They've only lost one game,
- 51:55Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, throughout this entire postseason. So they're
- 51:58Speaker 1: 7-1 compared to the Rays, where I think the Yankees,
- 52:02Speaker 1: they took a game. The Guardians, they took a couple games.
- 52:04Speaker 1: But both have been really impressive. So I honestly think
- 52:09Speaker 1: the Brewers are going to win it. I just think
- 52:11Speaker 1: just the depth that they have all across this line-up
- 52:17Speaker 1: it's hard for them to go through dry spells in
- 52:21Speaker 1: all honesty with how good this Brewers team really is.
- 52:25Speaker 1: But I think it's going to just be great baseball.
- 52:26Speaker 1: I think it's going to bring back something that we
- 52:30Speaker 1: didn't even think. We said the home run ball. Yes,
- 52:33Speaker 1: these teams are both hitting home runs, but I believe
- 52:36Speaker 1: the small ball, we're going to see that a lot
- 52:40Speaker 1: in this World Series right here. You're going to see
- 52:41Speaker 1: a bunch of bunning, just a little hits over the top.
- 52:44Speaker 1: You're going to see every once in a while, there's
- 52:46Speaker 1: going to be a game where there's just home runs galore.
- 52:49Speaker 1: But I think this is going to be the best
- 52:51Speaker 1: version of small ball, stealing bases, bunning, the shifting. It's
- 52:56Speaker 1: going to be perfect baseball. It's going to be back
- 52:59Speaker 1: to like the 90s, the 2000s baseball, which I never
- 53:03Speaker 1: got to witness live, but I think we're going to
- 53:04Speaker 1: be seeing this firsthand. And I think The Miz, he's
- 53:09Speaker 1: on the mound game one versus Nick Martinez, so I'm
- 53:11Speaker 1: excited for it tomorrow. But I'm going to call my shot.
- 53:14Speaker 1: I think Miz is going to win. He's going to
- 53:17Speaker 1: win the MVP. Miz is winning the MVP.
- 53:23Speaker 2: I hope a Nashor comes down and just destroys both teams.
- 53:28Speaker 2: I don't want either one of these teams to win.
- 53:29Speaker 2: Should have been the Dodgers. But you can't always have
- 53:34Speaker 2: what you want, so.
- 53:37Speaker 1: Brady's just salty. Brady's just salty right now. I'm sorry,
- 53:39Speaker 1: I'm still not over it.
- 53:40Speaker 2: See, I'm regressing back into denial and anger.
- 53:44Speaker 1: But, I mean, as far as with the whole lockout thing,
- 53:48Speaker 1: I think... I feel like this has to be a topic, too,
- 53:51Speaker 1: where the Rays, they're 28th in payroll and the Brewers
- 53:54Speaker 1: are ranked 19th in payroll. So, they're both some of
- 53:58Speaker 1: the most... Or the smaller markets, arguably one of the
- 54:02Speaker 1: smallest markets across every team in MLB. So, maybe... Maybe
- 54:07Speaker 1: you could argue as far as for the lockout. Maybe
- 54:09Speaker 1: it won't happen because look at these teams' payrolls, and
- 54:12Speaker 1: they've been good over these past few years. And now
- 54:15Speaker 1: one of these teams is going to be hosting or
- 54:18Speaker 1: hoisting the World Series here. So how do you feel
- 54:23Speaker 1: about that? Do you feel like this specific matchup of
- 54:26Speaker 1: the World Series helps with the lockout, like preventing the lockout?
- 54:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it does. I think that's what the
- 54:33Speaker 2: Dodgers were trying to do at the end of the day.
- 54:35Speaker 2: We were trying to just prevent that lockout. no but
- 54:39Speaker 2: i think it does help our case and a lot
- 54:41Speaker 2: of other teams cases where we can just go out
- 54:42Speaker 2: and spend more money hopefully progress every team you know
- 54:46Speaker 2: that's their goal at the end of the year is
- 54:48Speaker 2: to win a world series it's not to you know
- 54:51Speaker 2: beat their rivals or just make the playoffs every team's
- 54:55Speaker 2: goal is to go and win the world series and
- 54:56Speaker 2: hopefully this kind of helps because at the end of
- 54:59Speaker 2: the day spending more on your team is just going
- 55:02Speaker 2: to help that team later on down the road um
- 55:07Speaker 2: I think this does prevent as much as it hurt
- 55:11Speaker 2: to say, seeing the Dodgers lose, it just helps us
- 55:14Speaker 2: in the future because it doesn't install a salary cap.
- 55:18Speaker 2: So you win some, you lose some, you can't have
- 55:20Speaker 2: a wall.
- 55:22Speaker 1: Yeah. And one thing I want to say before we
- 55:24Speaker 1: get into our last mini game of build the player,
- 55:28Speaker 1: one of these teams are going to end a crazy draw.
- 55:30Speaker 1: I know the Rays, they've only been around, I think
- 55:32Speaker 1: about 30 years, something like that. But, The Brewers, it's
- 55:36Speaker 1: been 57 years since they've won a World Series. So
- 55:40Speaker 1: I'm just excited to see that there. One of these
- 55:43Speaker 1: teams is going to be hosting a World Series, which
- 55:45Speaker 1: I would have never thought. The Rays were 80-1 odds.
- 55:48Speaker 1: The Brewers, I think they were 100-1 odds. So I'm
- 55:52Speaker 1: just really surprised by this and get to see some
- 55:56Speaker 1: good baseball here. But, Brayden, it is time for our
- 56:01Speaker 1: redemption for the Build-A-Player. right here brayden so it's time
- 56:06Speaker 1: it's time last time i don't remember how good we
- 56:10Speaker 1: did i believe we we made the super bowl but
- 56:14Speaker 1: didn't win mvp if i'm not mistaken um i don't
- 56:17Speaker 1: know i don't know if you remember it but um.
- 56:21Speaker 2: Yeah it was the it was uh super bowl and we.
- 56:25Speaker 1: Lost oh it was a super bowl and we lost
- 56:28Speaker 1: that that's what it was so it's it's time to
- 56:31Speaker 1: build a 90 overall 90 plus overall quarterback Win MVP,
- 56:36Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. So let's get this started. Again,
- 56:38Speaker 1: same thing for the audio listeners. There's physical, mental, and
- 56:42Speaker 1: then there's skill. There's arm, leg, size, pre-snap, leadership, post-snap, playmaking, creativity, accuracy,
- 56:48Speaker 1: and pocket presence. So let's get this thing started with
- 56:51Speaker 1: our first spin right here, which is the Chicago Bears.
- 56:55Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, literally the perfect start. I would say playmaker
- 57:02Speaker 1: or post-snap. What would you say?
- 57:05Speaker 2: I say Playmaker.
- 57:06Speaker 1: Playmaker. Okay, cool. All right, so cool. We're starting off
- 57:11Speaker 1: at a 99 overall. Let me get rid of that ad.
- 57:14Speaker 1: We are not sponsored by nobody. San Francisco Niners, Brock Purdy.
- 57:18Speaker 1: Brock Purdy. This is a really good start. There's Pocket
- 57:22Speaker 1: Presence and Post Snap right there. I feel like can't
- 57:25Speaker 1: go wrong with either one.
- 57:29Speaker 2: I'll let you choose. I'll give it to Pocket Presence.
- 57:33Speaker 1: Okay.
- 57:33Speaker 2: Okay.
- 57:34Speaker 1: I really like this start right here. The playmaking is
- 57:38Speaker 1: A in the pocket present. So we know how to
- 57:40Speaker 1: make plays. Give us Baker.
- 57:42Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
- 57:43Speaker 1: Jalen Daniels. We could take his legs. We could take
- 57:46Speaker 1: his legs. That's a B +. He's a very fast. Oh, 93. But,
- 57:52Speaker 1: I mean, he still is really fast. I mean, he
- 57:54Speaker 1: tore up the Cowboys. Give us Lamar Jackson. We are
- 57:59Speaker 1: not going to say his name for specific purposes here.
- 58:02Speaker 1: We're just going to take the size because it's an A,
- 58:04Speaker 1: and we're going to.
- 58:07Speaker 2: I have a good mic, so I'm not going to
- 58:09Speaker 2: have any mic cutouts. Shout out to this guy.
- 58:13Speaker 1: Shout out to Joe.
- 58:14Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're going to keep him.
- 58:16Speaker 1: He's six. Jackson Dart.
- 58:18Speaker 2: Jackson Dart. I like this.
- 58:21Speaker 1: There's arm. I feel like this is where we should
- 58:24Speaker 1: take a mental trait with post-snap. This is my thinking.
- 58:29Speaker 1: So we kind of save ourselves.
- 58:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take post-snap. Okay.
- 58:35Speaker 1: Okay. 92 overall. We're still doing really, really good right here. Oh, God. Well,
- 58:41Speaker 1: we haven't used our spin. We haven't used our... We
- 58:44Speaker 1: could re-spin team. I am more than willing to use it.
- 58:49Speaker 1: Unless you want to take his arm, which it's B-.
- 58:52Speaker 1: I wouldn't like.
- 58:53Speaker 2: To take that. I say we re-spin here. Okay.
- 58:57Speaker 1: Re-spin team. Come on. Falcons? Arm? Oh, my Hey, accuracy
- 59:04Speaker 1: at two is not bad.
- 59:07Speaker 2: Tua turned the ball over. Dr.
- 59:10Speaker 1: CT himself. We have to take his accuracy here. It's
- 59:16Speaker 1: a B +. It might knock us down to 89,
- 59:20Speaker 1: but it's still good. Okay, 90.
- 59:22Speaker 2: We're still at 90.
- 59:24Speaker 1: Okay. We need pre-snap leadership.
- 59:27Speaker 2: Oh, no. We got Boonex.
- 59:30Speaker 1: Respin that.
- 59:31Speaker 2: Respin quarterback.
- 59:36Speaker 1: Bo Nix, his arm is an A.
- 59:38Speaker 2: I feel like it should be an A +. Broken swing.
- 59:43Speaker 1: Shut your mouth. Shut your mouth, bro. Bro has an
- 59:45Speaker 1: A- of less than five yards. We have pre-snap and leadership. Pre-snap.
- 59:48Speaker 2: Oh, God.
- 59:59Speaker 1: Leadership of Daniel Jones. I feel like we have to
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: chalk this one up. Yeah, we can't take Priest now.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: We're in 89. We're in 89. We just have terrible leadership.
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: Brock Purdy. Give us Brock Purdy. Yes. This is lovely.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: We are a Pro Bowl-level quarterback. This is by far.
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: So Bo Nix, A-minus arm, Jalen Daniels, B-plus legs, size
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: of Joe, A, Brock Purdy, B-plus, leadership of Daniel Jones, C-plus,
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: post-snap Jackson Dart, B-plus, playmaking creativity, A-plus Caleb Williams, accuracy,
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: B-plus of Tua. And pocket presence is an A. So, now,
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: even though we built a good quarterback, it depends on
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: the team that we are on. So, let's spin the
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: team and see what team this is. We're on the
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. That is perfect.
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: Shout out to Emerald City, our artist. Yeah.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: Shout out the Emerald City. Shout out Tecra.
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: We are 14-3.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: Holy crap.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness. So 67.3 completion percentage, 28 touchdowns, 8 interceptions,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: almost 800 rushing yards, and 2 rushing touchdowns. That is
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: an amazing season right there. Division round versus the Vikings, 3-0,
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: up 10-0. Okay, 7-10, 17-7, 24. Okay, we chalked this
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: one up. Going to the conference championship right here. Okay,
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: this is perfect. Who are we going to face? The Cowboys,
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: of course we are. We're down 3-0. We're down 6-0.
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: We're down 13-0, 13-7, 10. Okay, we're up 16-18, 24-16. Okay,
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: we won this one. We're going to the Super Bowl.
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: We're off to a great start. MVP award, did we
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: win it? We won the MVP. This is amazing right here.
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: So 4,900 total yards, 30 touchdowns. A 101 QB rating,
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: 14-3 over the season. Can we win the Super Bowl
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: versus the Chiefs?
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: 8-0.
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: Okay. Still 8-0. 8-7. I don't know why we went
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: for 2.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: 15-7.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: 22-7.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: Oh, well, this was... Well, this was pretty easy. Shout out,
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: Bo Nix. I guess we needed Bo Nix. We won MVP,
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: and we won Super Bowl the very first spin. Honestly,
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: did not expect that to happen right away. Let me
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: try to find a quick game, another game, because I
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: feel like we just kind of.
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: Went without it. Shout out, Bo. Shout out, Joe.
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: Shout out to Travis Scott, too.
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: Bo and Joe. Yeah, shout out to Travis Scott.
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: You know what?
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: There's this game that I've been playing lately where it's
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: called two minute drill and it sees how you coach.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: So I've seen this on Twitter a couple of times.
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie. There's a couple of times
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: where I've been playing, playing this. So the point of
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: this game here, Braden is you have to call it
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: like a head coach. It gives you a situation where,
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: So 2023, week 14, Tennessee at Miami, down by six,
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: 215 left in the game. We're down 21 to 27.
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: The ball's at our own 36. It's first and 10.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: We have one timeout. Can we call it better than
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel? So it gives you a run option, a pass,
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: an RPO, or a trick play. So we can do
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: all of this right here. Let me put this full screen. So,
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: it's a little bit easier. So, I'm going to let you.
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: You know what? I'll let you call the first one,
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: and then I'll call the second scenario. Like, we'll take
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: turns going back and forth. So, what are you thinking?
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: I'm going to pull a Sarkeesian master class. Let's run
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: it up the gut.
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: Run? Okay. So, there's a run, strong, weak side, or
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you can see this right here. Outside run,
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: off the tackle run, inside run.
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: I'm going to do my best Sarkeesian impression. Give me
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: an inside run to the weak side.
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: To the weak side? Okay. Let's see it.
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: I don't know if you can see the snap. Okay.
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: That's pretty good. That is really good. Tackled. Okay. Okay.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: Now I'll go back and forth. We'll go back and
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: forth right here. So, like, it's pretty cool. It shows, like,
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: how good it goes. So it's second and one at
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: the 45. Clock is running. I'm going to run an RPO.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: I'm going to run it to the strong side right here.
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: Let's just pick up the first down. No need to
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: rush right here. So let's see. Okay. It was a run.
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: Got the first down.
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: First down. I believe we're still at, we're at our
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: own 48. It's two minute warning. So Brayden, what's your call?
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: Let me get a RPO. Classic Sarkisian stuff right here.
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: RPO.
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: You want the stronger weak side? me to the strong
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: side strong side okay let's see it okay the clock
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: is really milking down bad okay okay okay are we
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: in bounce okay the clock is running second one i'm
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: gonna run a pass play right here and so one
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: one thing i'm pretty sure for the audio listeners listen
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: to this it shows the different ones it shows like
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: there's a 70 percent chances gets caught 52% chance that
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: gets caught. I'm going to just tell y'all whoever I
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: pick and what the chance is. So what I want
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: to do right here is I want to change this
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: route to DeAndre Hopkins. I'm going to run a screen
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: pass to DeHop. It keeps the ball moving right here.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: It's a 94% chance this gets caught. It's going to
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: go five yards. So let's see. So yeah. So quick pass,
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: snap to Hopkins. Okay, let's see it. Okay, he ran that. Okay.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Got the first down. Got the first down. Okay. Okay,
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: it says it wasn't the best call, but all right.
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: We're going to definitely need to get down the field.
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: We have a timeout here, but what's your call, Brayden?
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: Give me a pass.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: Okay. And you could snap to open man, or you
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: could change. Let me know which routes you want to change.
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: Oh, can.
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: You draw?
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: We have trips. If we can do some kind of trips,
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: play to that right.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: That would be nasty. So if we can do 16
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: on a post.
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: Oh, this is cool. I didn't realize you could draw.
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: All right. Give me 85 as my dump play. I
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: need that to be something where I know it's going
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: to be open. So keep it that. Keep it that.
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: Give me 15 going on a post. I need him
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: screaming down the field.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: And then I want, give me 16. Give me a corner.
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: Give me a corner out there.
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: Dang, I did not even know you could draw this
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: right here. That's pretty cool. Okay, so.
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: And then.
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you want to do with Tajay Spears
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: and DeHop?
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: Keep DeHop on that because he'll pull Jalen Ramsey to
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: the left of the field.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: We'll throw it to 16. Give me 16. I think
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: it's going to be open. Wolfman.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: Let's see.
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: This is not good.
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: Let's see it.
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: Let's see it. This is good.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: This is good.
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: Oh.
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: Oh.
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: Oh, broken up. Okay. That was a good play.
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: Honestly, I didn't realize that you could draw this. This
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: is pretty cool. I'm not going to lie.
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: So, okay.
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: I'm going to go with the pass play. It says
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: that there's a loaded box. There's seven near the line.
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: So we need a hot route right here. And that's
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: where Chigo Conquo is going to run a little, a
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: little crosser right here. And I want a wheel route
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: going this way. And I want to post going to
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: D hop. Sorry for the audio listeners. Listen to this,
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: but we need this. This is where the people watching
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: this on Spotify, they get the cream of the crop
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: content right here. because they get to see this. So,
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: Traylon Burks, I'm going to have him kind of running
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: like a zig route. He's going to be open right here,
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: just getting the first down. And then I still want
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: Nick Westbrook-Akene still running this go route, but I want
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: him to kind of go inside. So, if this ball
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: happens to be open.
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: Oh!
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: Okay, so Traylon Burks, that's a 70% chance he gets caught.
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: We have a timeout. But Nick Westbrook-Akene also has a
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: 37% chance to get caught. You know what? Let's go
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: with the safe route right here. Let's go with this. Okay.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: Let's see it. Okay. Oh, no. This is cover three.
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: Dude.
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: Okay. All right, Brayden. This is third down right here.
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: What is your call?
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: Give me a run play inside. I'm just playing.
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: Okay, okay.
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: Give me a pass.
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: Okay, let me know what you want me to draw.
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: Or if you want to stick with this.
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: I like this. Throw it to D-Hop.
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: Throw it to D-Hop.
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Let's see. We really need to start
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: moving this ball right here. Dehop. Broken up. Okay. It's
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: fourth down. Okay. This is where fourth and 10 on
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: the 39, kind of getting stopped right here. This is
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: where we have to do the dirty work right here.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: So it says it's a light box. I think they're
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: going to drop out. but I want to run a
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: corner route with Chig Okonkwo right here. And then I
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: kind of run like a little like cross route coming
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: across here. I wonder if I could get Tajay. No,
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: I'm going to keep him on that. I'm going to
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: keep him on that. I want to post route going
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: to D hop right here. And I want kind of
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: like this underneath route going right here. It's like a hitch.
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: I think the safest route would be Chig. Right here,
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: it's going to go about 20 yards or so. I'm
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: just worried about number four. But I think this is
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: going to be cover two, so this could be a
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: hole shot. But you know what? This is where big-time
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: players make big-time plays. So let's go to Chico Conkle
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: right here. It's fourth down. Let's do it. Okay, it's
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: cover two like I expected. Hole shot. Hole shot. We
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: got stopped. We got stopped. Okay, he was pressured and underthrown.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: So we lost. We lost this one. Well... That wasn't
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: the best way to go about it. But... All right.
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: One more, and then we could call it. Okay? One more,
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: and we could call it. Let's see. Let me... Yeah,
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: let it run. There's no point in doing this. We
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: called it, like, Hugh Jackson. That is lovely. That is lovely.
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: All right, so... Let's go... Where's it at? Okay. Okay.
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: Your run. Let's go to new run. New run right here. Okay. Perfect.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: This is perfect. 20-25, week three. Denver at Los Angeles. AFC.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: 2-31 left in the game. Tied 20-20. Your ball first
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: and 10 at the 22. Three timeouts. Can we call
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: it better than Sean Payton? All right, Brady. You got
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: first hits right here.
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: That's going to be hard to do. Give me an RPU.
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: Shout out, Bonix. RPU.
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: Where do you want it?
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: Strong side.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: Okay. Okay, Dobbins. He fumbled, but we got it back. Okay. Okay,
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: that wasn't fun right there. Okay, I'm going to run
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: a pass play. I'm going to trust this for now,
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: so let's run a dig to Cortland Sutton. Or actually,
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: snap to open man. Let's see that. Bo Nix, just
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: find the open man. Find the open man right here.
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: I trust you. Going in a two-minute warning. And he
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: almost threw an interception. Okay, well, we're going to decide
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: where this ball is going now.
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: Put it to the fly.
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: All right. All right, Brayden, what do you want?
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: Give me a run play. No, I'm just playing. Give
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: me a pass play. Okay. This is awful.
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you want? What do you want?
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: This is bad. Jeez Louise. I know. Give me that
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: little shovel to J.K. Dobbins. I like that.
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: J.K.
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: Dobbins?
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: It's third and ten.
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I guess you're right. You know what? We're
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: going to go big or go home. Give me a,
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: give me a, no, don't do not pass that to Troy.
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: You would have done. This is bad. Holy, we're getting
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: outcoached here.
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: I mean, you can edit it.
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: Go ahead. Just go ahead. Just do this.
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. Let's see it. Okay. Let's see what J.K.
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: Dobbins does. Oh, there was a motion. I didn't even
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: notice there was a motion right here. J.K. Okay. Get
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: the first broken tackle. Oh.
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: You know what, Brayden? This is where we make big-time
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: decisions here. This is where we go for it. This
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: is where we go for it here. This is where
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: we find a way to... So, I am going to
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: do a little curl route right here. It's a hitch route. So,
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: he should get the first down. This is nice and smooth.
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: I want Trent Sherfield going up there, so it makes
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: it a lot easier. Okay, Troy Franklin... Should get this
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: for the first down. Oh, no.
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: Let's see it.
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: Come on.
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: Just get the first down. There was a motion. Kind
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: of baits him a little bit. Troy Franklin. Okay. First down.
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: There we go. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect play call. All right, Brayden.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: There's a minute four left. We have three timeouts. We
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: have three timeouts. We're at our own 35. We got
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: to get this thing moving now. What's your call?
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: Give me a run play.
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: A run play? Okay.
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: Outside run to the right side. Weak side. Cool. All right.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: Let's see it. Outside run. JK. Okay. I'm going to
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: call a timeout here. Kind of save us some time.
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: Because we still have two timeouts. And let's go with
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: the pass play here. I want to go Troy Franklin.
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: I want to run him like with the over route.
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: Kind of going over. Let me undo that. That does
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: not look right. There we go. That's an overwrought right there. Okay,
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: and I want Corlin Sutton. I kind of want him
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: running underneath. I kind of want like a mesh underneath
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: right here. Nice and smooth. And then Trent Shurfield. I
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: want him running. You know what? I'm fine with him
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: running the go. I'm fine with him running the go.
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: Let's go... I'm going with Troy Franklin here. I'm going
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: with the big-time play right here. Hopefully this distracts him. No,
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: there's only a 9% chance. Let's see. Let's go. That
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: was a motion. 23 goes down. It's right there, Bo.
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: It's right there, Bo. He dropped it. Troy Franklin dropped it.
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: He was open, but he just dropped it.
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: I say Troy Franklin. Shout out, Bo Nix.
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: That was a good play call. Okay, third and seven.
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: By our own 38, the clock has stopped.
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: Give me an RPO.
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: RPO? What side? Strong side. Do you want to draw
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: the RPO? Okay. You want to draw it or no?
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: No. I trust in Bo. I trust in Bo.
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: Okay. It's a pass. And he scrambled. Okay. Is he running?
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: Is he getting the first? He's got the first.
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: Bo Nix.
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: I'm going to call this timeout. We have to. Or...
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: Do we? We're at their 48. Nah, we have to
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: call a timeout.
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: Right here.
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: Timeout. I'm going to go with the pass play once again. Yeah.
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: Shut out first down. Yeah.
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: First down, Selly's. Okay. I'm going to just trust this.
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: Snap it to the open man. You know what? Maybe
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: I need a trust bow. Just snap it to the
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: open man. Trust bow. Let's see. Troy.
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: I need to stop trusting Bo Nix. I need to
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: stop trusting Bo Nix.
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: Give me an RPO. Strong side. Okay, let's see it. Oh, yeah,
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: don't run to the outside, bro.
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: Okay, they're showing blitz. So it's 61-yard field goal, 45%
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: chance to make. I'm not going to do that. What
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: I'm going to do even better... Is I'm going to
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: do a flea flicker. I'm doing a trick play.
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: They're never going to see you come in.
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: Actually, they've seen RPO, strong side twice, your last four plays.
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: They're sitting on it. They're showing blitz. So you know
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: what that means? They're playing man. They're playing man coverage.
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: That's exactly what that means right there. So only thing
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: I'm going to change is an angle route. I don't
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: know why it says a slant, but that's an angle
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: route to J.K. Dobbins. We're going to throw it to him.
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: We're going to throw it to him. Because it looks
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: like they're blitzing. And he's open. Throw it to him.
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: Or just wait. Okay, cool. He caught it. Okay. Do
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: you want to call a timeout right here? There's 18
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: seconds left. Or do you want to rush on to
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: get the field goal?
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: Just timeout at the three and then kick. Okay.
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: Let's see. Okay. Field goal. It's a 52-yard field goal.
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: 75% chance to make. Let's see it.
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: Shout out Will Lutz. Okay.
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: Will Lutz, is he going to make it? Big nuts Lutz.
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: Okay, cool. Big nuts Lutz.
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: We out-coached, beat the real coach, and got a better result.
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: We coached like.
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: Vance Joseph.
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: Vance Joseph.
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: Shut up, Vance Joseph.
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: Having the time of his life. I already knew exactly
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: what stick you're thinking of. Shout out to that. If
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: you know, you know. Having the time of his life.
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: Shout out, Vance Joseph.
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: Having the time of his life. Shout out, Vance. Defensive mastermind.
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: If you know, you know that comment.
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: If you know, you know. All my ball knows out there.
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. That was a good one. I didn't see
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: your text, my bad.
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: My bad, I didn't... Estoy cansado, jefe.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: Yeah, my bad. But alright, let's go ahead and get
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: out of here. Brayden, any last words?
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: No, other than if Sarkeesian loses us this game, I'm
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: calling for his head. Stay updated with the Twitter. I'll
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: be pretty active this weekend. I'll be hating on MLB
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: and The World Series. And I will be talking shit
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: about the Longhorns. The handle's going to be down here.
