- 0:18Speaker 2: All right, reminder, it's an apstick of Tuesday. We got
- 0:20Speaker 2: one more keyword at about fifteen minutes to stay tuned
- 0:23Speaker 2: for that. The College football National Championship Game yesterday features
- 0:28Speaker 2: Indiana winning their first ever on the back of give
- 0:34Speaker 2: credit a lot of credit to some people aren't getting it.
- 0:38Speaker 2: I feel like they're just due for Nana Mendoza was amazing.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Obviously he's been getting a lot of credit.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Now, how about his receiver who came up with clutch
- 0:45Speaker 3: catch after clutch catch.
- 0:46Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, dude, Like, I know he made
- 0:48Speaker 2: some good throws on fourth down, but some of those
- 0:51Speaker 2: catches were just unbelievable by those Indiana guys.
- 0:54Speaker 3: That one dude, what's that dude's name on the outside, Well,
- 0:58Speaker 3: there's a picking on twenty four.
- 1:00Speaker 2: There's a couple of them, like Cooper had a big day.
- 1:03Speaker 2: That Becker guy kept making catches. Sarat had a few
- 1:06Speaker 2: like Charlie Becker.
- 1:08Speaker 4: Two fourth down catches fourth down.
- 1:11Speaker 3: These aren't just fourth downs, and they're those back shoulder
- 1:16Speaker 3: underthrows where only he knows where the ball is going.
- 1:18Speaker 3: And therein guys. I was thinking about it during the break,
- 1:21Speaker 3: and it's so funny you brought this up because we're
- 1:23Speaker 3: on right now. We're on the same path when you
- 1:29Speaker 3: bring in a new quarterback. I'm not worried about running
- 1:31Speaker 3: Sean Payton's system. He's been in the system for two
- 1:34Speaker 3: years now. He's got the system down. What I'm worried about,
- 1:37Speaker 3: does he have that symbiosis. Does he have that rhythm
- 1:40Speaker 3: with receivers where you trust a receiver will be there
- 1:44Speaker 3: because he was. He was there in the past, He's
- 1:46Speaker 3: been there. You saw less night in the National title game.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Mendoza knew his guy would be there. He didn't throw it.
- 1:52Speaker 3: He threw it to an area and this guy was there.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Third and eleven, Denver Broncos with two thirty left to play.
- 2:01Speaker 3: It's third and eleven bow Knick's best throw of the game.
- 2:04Speaker 3: If you go back and look at it. He threw
- 2:06Speaker 3: it to an area and Courland Sutton came down with
- 2:09Speaker 3: it for a gain of twenty eight yard.
- 2:11Speaker 4: Do you remember that past? Do you remember that play
- 2:13Speaker 4: time out?
- 2:13Speaker 5: Real quick. First of all, I'm gonna give you total
- 2:16Speaker 5: credit because your use of the word symbiosis I think
- 2:20Speaker 5: is a very accurate term, very very accurate. Now, as
- 2:24Speaker 5: Nelly asked, you're gonna reconnect because you were cutting out
- 2:27Speaker 5: just a little bit and it was driving me a
- 2:28Speaker 5: little bit insane. I'm sure Brett feels the same way,
- 2:31Speaker 5: and so you're back. Now. That's good, but an excellent
- 2:33Speaker 5: use of the word symbiosis. Because that victor has to come,
- 2:38Speaker 5: that has to come naturally, that it has to come
- 2:40Speaker 5: with reps.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Yes, And that's that's the one thing, no matter what
- 2:44Speaker 3: anybody says. And I am listen, I am looking forward
- 2:47Speaker 3: to seeing Jared's didn't play. I'm fully confident he has
- 2:49Speaker 3: the game. One thing he will not have and.
- 2:52Speaker 4: This is just fact.
- 2:54Speaker 3: He's not going to have that rhythm mid game because
- 2:58Speaker 3: he hasn't added Yeah, throwing to an area, throwing a
- 3:03Speaker 3: guy open, trusting he's going to be there because earlier
- 3:07Speaker 3: in the season he was there. He doesn't have that
- 3:10Speaker 3: earlier in the season. This is fresh for him.
- 3:14Speaker 5: You know.
- 3:15Speaker 3: It's how Indiana won a national Indiana won a national
- 3:18Speaker 3: championship last night because of the relationship between the quarterback
- 3:21Speaker 3: and the receiver on fourth down twice.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Yeah, and they kept connecting in the biggest moments and
- 3:29Speaker 2: both great throws along with great catches, guys making plays.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Indiana winning that is you know, it's shocking, I think
- 3:39Speaker 2: to almost everybody who's been following college football for any
- 3:42Speaker 2: certain amount of time, you just didn't think it was
- 3:44Speaker 2: going to be possible. And now not only with the
- 3:47Speaker 2: twelve team playoff opening things up for you know, Indiana
- 3:50Speaker 2: was number one in the country for most of the year,
- 3:52Speaker 2: top three, top five in the country most of the year. Uh,
- 3:56Speaker 2: opening that up for the ten seed Miami to be
- 3:58Speaker 2: this close, I mean on the door step at the
- 4:00Speaker 2: end of the game for winning that game outright. I mean,
- 4:04Speaker 2: you look at it. It's a six point game. They
- 4:07Speaker 2: got time, they're driving, they're on the they're the Indiana
- 4:11Speaker 2: side of the field with a chance to score a
- 4:13Speaker 2: touchdown and win it. And over and over again. I
- 4:15Speaker 2: thought Indiana would close out the game and then Miami Malachai,
- 4:19Speaker 2: Tony somebody would make a play and put them right
- 4:22Speaker 2: back in it. You know, if not for the blocked punt,
- 4:28Speaker 2: you it felt like Miami was grabbing a lot of
- 4:31Speaker 2: momentum at that time, they blocked the punt, they scored
- 4:33Speaker 2: the touchdown, and all of a sudden, Indiana takes it
- 4:36Speaker 2: right back. It's a hell of a game for them,
- 4:38Speaker 2: hell ofic.
- 4:38Speaker 4: Game, you know.
- 4:39Speaker 3: The The takeaway from me watching that game is how
- 4:42Speaker 3: ridiculous recruiting services have now become.
- 4:45Speaker 4: They were ridiculous to begin with, but.
- 4:47Speaker 3: Now with the transfer portal and guys you know, coming
- 4:50Speaker 3: out as high schoolers waiting in the wings for a
- 4:53Speaker 3: couple of years and then bolting to another team, they
- 4:56Speaker 3: mean nothing. These these stars are oh a four star,
- 4:58Speaker 3: five star case in point last night, Fernando Mendoza went
- 5:04Speaker 3: to high school a few blocks away from the University
- 5:07Speaker 3: of Miami. At the high school, Fernando Mendoza's dad played
- 5:12Speaker 3: high school football with Mario.
- 5:13Speaker 4: Christobal, the head coach of Miami Amazing.
- 5:15Speaker 3: Fernando Mendoza's dream, his dream was to play football at
- 5:19Speaker 3: the University of Miami.
- 5:20Speaker 4: He offered to walk on.
- 5:22Speaker 5: Yeah they didn't want them.
- 5:23Speaker 4: Yep, they didn't take them.
- 5:26Speaker 3: And now years later he goes back home and beats
- 5:29Speaker 3: his dream school in the national title game. Why because
- 5:32Speaker 3: he wasn't a three star or four star. He was
- 5:35Speaker 3: a two star. Those stars and all that crap, they're
- 5:39Speaker 3: a joke.
- 5:40Speaker 2: It's a very important detail that I have failed to
- 5:43Speaker 2: mention throughout the course of this college football playoff that
- 5:45Speaker 2: must be said. Why does Fernando Mendoza's father look exactly
- 5:52Speaker 2: like Kurt Signetti? Was anybody else weirded out by this?
- 5:57Speaker 2: I remember I wanted to talk about this, like the
- 5:59Speaker 2: first playoff game that they played in. They said, and
- 6:01Speaker 2: there's Fernanda Mendoza's mom and dad, and I go, no,
- 6:05Speaker 2: that's like Kurt Signetti's brother. That's not out the glasses. Yeah,
- 6:09Speaker 2: he looks just like him.
- 6:12Speaker 5: You know what's weird?
- 6:15Speaker 2: He does, yes, like very eerily.
- 6:20Speaker 5: So you know what's weird.
- 6:25Speaker 2: You're right, Yeah, I know, I'm right.
- 6:27Speaker 3: I know it's weird. He should have been playing for
- 6:30Speaker 3: Miami last night. If you swap quarterbacks, does Miami win
- 6:35Speaker 3: that game?
- 6:35Speaker 4: I'm curious just.
- 6:38Speaker 5: Those really good yes, I don't know.
- 6:41Speaker 4: I mean, did he did he really like carry them?
- 6:43Speaker 2: Or did his receivers help fourth and five quarterback draw?
- 6:46Speaker 2: I gotta get it. He not only breaks the tackle
- 6:48Speaker 2: to get the first down, he leaves in the end zone.
- 6:50Speaker 5: Yeah, that's help.
- 6:52Speaker 3: I'm just I was more impressed to be honesty that
- 6:55Speaker 3: Indiana defense. I didn't realize their defense is that stout
- 6:58Speaker 3: other corners man a fundamentally sound Give me Ponds.
- 7:05Speaker 5: Really surprised that Carson Beck couldn't see that b B.
- 7:10Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I'm sure Carson listen, don't pen in
- 7:12Speaker 3: the blame on Carson Beck. He was probably worried about
- 7:16Speaker 3: the next exam he had a take. I mean, the
- 7:19Speaker 3: guy he's working on his post doctorate.
- 7:21Speaker 5: Just for reference, VIC of the range of vision horizontally
- 7:27Speaker 5: for a human being, it's two Hold on a second, stop,
- 7:32Speaker 5: don't make me laugh. It's two hundred to two hundred
- 7:35Speaker 5: and twenty degrees. That's the horizontally okay, right, For a bass,
- 7:43Speaker 5: it's over three hundred degrees. Did you realize that for.
- 7:46Speaker 4: A bass the eyes are on the side of the head.
- 7:51Speaker 2: So Carson Becks is three hundred and twenty degrees? Is
- 7:54Speaker 2: that what you're trying to say.
- 7:54Speaker 5: I'm not saying that at all. Nope, I'm not saying that.
- 7:57Speaker 2: You showed me a picture, said the sloth earlier.
- 8:01Speaker 5: Somebody sent it to me.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Uh, anyway, I'm not you know, look look a look.
- 8:05Speaker 5: At my face. I look like a catcher's met I
- 8:07Speaker 5: admit it.
- 8:10Speaker 2: But damn it, you see two hundred and twenty three.
- 8:14Speaker 5: I would like to be able to see like three fifty.
- 8:15Speaker 5: That would be rad Like see behind me over here
- 8:17Speaker 5: like this, that would be like like three fifty. Dude,
- 8:21Speaker 5: that's everything but your butt. You see everything else.
- 8:23Speaker 4: So somebody asked Carson Beck, I seriously help me answer
- 8:27Speaker 4: this question.
- 8:27Speaker 3: I don't know the answer. Perhaps somebody can google let
- 8:30Speaker 3: me know. They asked Carson Beck, how you know, how
- 8:33Speaker 3: have you been dealing with the big load with classes
- 8:37Speaker 3: and having to deal with classes and finals?
- 8:40Speaker 4: And he said, I haven't gone to class in two years?
- 8:44Speaker 3: So are you allowed to go to college represent the
- 8:48Speaker 3: college play from Miami without taking class or do you
- 8:51Speaker 3: have to take it different?
- 8:52Speaker 4: How does this work?
- 8:53Speaker 2: Did he say he wasn't taking classes or didn't go
- 8:55Speaker 2: to class like online two years ago?
- 8:58Speaker 3: He says, he said. The quote was I don't have class.
- 9:02Speaker 3: I don't have class.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think anybody.
- 9:04Speaker 3: So if you don't have class, is this where we
- 9:08Speaker 3: are now with college sports? Like you just show up
- 9:12Speaker 3: on campus and hang out?
- 9:15Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yeah you can.
- 9:18Speaker 5: Is that? Is that?
- 9:19Speaker 4: Certainly the case with him, or.
- 9:23Speaker 3: How do you feel Vic, how do you know what?
- 9:30Speaker 5: I'm the one who's been beating the drum forever of
- 9:34Speaker 5: If this is the route you want to go, you
- 9:37Speaker 5: better be dang sure, because it's going to get insane.
- 9:42Speaker 5: And by the way, Carson Beck living in a five
- 9:45Speaker 5: million dollar house in Miami, driving a Ferrari, hanging out
- 9:50Speaker 5: on the beach and watching film all day. If that's
- 9:53Speaker 5: the new college sports, then that's the new college sports.
- 9:56Speaker 3: Let's see that's not so Just remove the college their
- 10:01Speaker 3: professional they are professional athletes.
- 10:05Speaker 4: It's like what they are representing it up.
- 10:08Speaker 5: Okay, I need you to reset.
- 10:09Speaker 2: He's fine, he's fine, It's just one little skip before
- 10:13Speaker 2: we get to a break. I don't do this very often,
- 10:17Speaker 2: but Mos is usually the guy who's like, hey, on
- 10:21Speaker 2: this day, this thing happened, and I want to talk
- 10:24Speaker 2: about it. I have to because as of yesterday, it
- 10:30Speaker 2: was twenty four years to the day that, in my mind,
- 10:36Speaker 2: I think one of the most influential and best speeches
- 10:41Speaker 2: ever given by a politician was made. Isn't hear it?
- 10:46Speaker 5: I know what it is.
- 10:48Speaker 6: You know something, Not only are we going to New Hampshire,
- 10:51Speaker 6: Tom Harkin, We're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and
- 10:55Speaker 6: Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico.
- 10:58Speaker 5: We're going to California, Texas and New York.
- 11:01Speaker 6: We're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan,
- 11:06Speaker 6: and then we're going to Washington and see you to
- 11:08Speaker 6: take back the White House.
- 11:15Speaker 2: That is how the Hawardeen Hawardean, who was at that
- 11:19Speaker 2: time running for president. H you want to know how
- 11:22Speaker 2: how much things change in twenty two years. He did
- 11:25Speaker 2: that and he immediately fell off the poles.
- 11:28Speaker 5: He was not He was.
- 11:30Speaker 7: Absolutely that sound, Yeah, got him removed from from chances
- 11:35Speaker 7: of being president.
- 11:36Speaker 4: That can't make that sound to be president.
- 11:42Speaker 5: I don't know, man. That's that's uh. That's like if
- 11:45Speaker 5: you if you scored a touchdown on a hail Mary.
- 11:49Speaker 5: It's one of those.
- 11:51Speaker 2: It's sort of a Leroy Jenkins sort of sound.
- 11:54Speaker 5: It is a little bit. We had a guy here
- 11:56Speaker 5: in Colorado.
- 11:57Speaker 4: Sounds like Kevin Harlan calling that Caleb Williams touchdown.
- 11:59Speaker 5: The other we had a guy here in Colorado who's
- 12:04Speaker 5: still alive, in Gary Hart, and that went that went wrong.
- 12:12Speaker 4: Okay, what does that have to do with Howard Dean's comment.
- 12:15Speaker 5: Well, I'm just saying that it killed his career right there.
- 12:18Speaker 2: Well, Howard Dean, Howard Dean. I know this from two things.
- 12:27Speaker 2: First of all, Chappelle's show did a sketch on it
- 12:30Speaker 2: that still to this day makes me laugh. Secondly, this
- 12:35Speaker 2: is a small little easter egg. I think we've done
- 12:38Speaker 2: this on the show before, but I'm a huge breaking
- 12:40Speaker 2: bad guy. I think it's one of the best television
- 12:42Speaker 2: shows that's ever been made. So when Walter White is
- 12:45Speaker 2: his first sort of experiment with him becoming Heisenberg, if
- 12:54Speaker 2: you remember he goes up to Tuco Salamanca's little high
- 12:56Speaker 2: rise and he blows the building up. Do you remember
- 13:00Speaker 2: that scene?
- 13:01Speaker 5: Nope?
- 13:02Speaker 2: And as he blows the building up, I know this
- 13:05Speaker 2: because I heard it the first time. I went back
- 13:07Speaker 2: to listen over and over again. As the scene explodes,
- 13:11Speaker 2: they put a subtle but recognizable Howard Dean's scream in
- 13:18Speaker 2: the explosion, and Nelly, I, dare you go back and
- 13:22Speaker 2: find the scene. I think we've done it before, but
- 13:25Speaker 2: you will hear Howard Dean's scream in the middle of
- 13:27Speaker 2: that explosion.
- 13:28Speaker 8: And are you sure though that it's not the Wilhelms scream, No,
- 13:33Speaker 8: it is not that, because that is because that is
- 13:36Speaker 8: a widely known inside joke that movies like to sneak
- 13:39Speaker 8: this in there. It's in I think every Star Wars movie. Okay,
- 13:43Speaker 8: so are you sure? What does this happen like, Still.
- 13:48Speaker 4: New England?
- 13:49Speaker 5: Yeah? Well, Vic, here's the thing, you guys, get on
- 13:53Speaker 5: me for having abnormal obsessions with whatever.
- 13:56Speaker 4: That was a weird break.
- 13:57Speaker 5: You're you're twenty four years to go to the today.
- 14:00Speaker 5: I mean, that's a weird obsession.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Why can't I do that? Because you're weird? Why can
- 14:05Speaker 2: I do that? I want to play sounds.
- 14:07Speaker 3: Brett, Brett, Brett, You've done the show long enough. Only
- 14:09Speaker 3: two guys on the shore are allowed to be weird and
- 14:11Speaker 3: provide left turns. You're supposed to be the guy right
- 14:13Speaker 3: down the middle. You're the listen dude, You're the You're
- 14:16Speaker 3: the d D, the designated drive.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Hang on, hang on, that's what you do. We're to
- 14:20Speaker 2: put me in that category.
- 14:22Speaker 5: Uh?
- 14:24Speaker 2: Did did that sound bring a smile to your face?
- 14:29Speaker 5: I can't say that it did, but I can't say
- 14:31Speaker 5: that it didn't. I mean, look at me, look at me,
- 14:35Speaker 5: look at me.
- 14:39Speaker 7: Get you Nola, you got it all right, play this
- 14:42Speaker 7: and then we'll go to break. I'm telling you, listen,
- 14:44Speaker 7: listen closely, right, Yes, I heard that the first time.
- 15:00Speaker 2: How many people picked it up? But it is there.
- 15:02Speaker 5: That's it. It was there.
- 15:04Speaker 3: It was there when when Ja Kwon McMillan intercepted that ball.
- 15:09Speaker 5: I mean.
- 15:13Speaker 4: It is a perfect out.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Uh three oh three five four ninety five. One more keyword?

- 16:09Speaker 2: Hey we haven't gotten too this yet, but it is
- 16:13Speaker 2: always When you play the Lakers a big game tonight
- 16:16Speaker 2: and with that whatever.
- 16:19Speaker 1: It's the Johnson Auto Plaza cheese to the game, Johnsonado Plaza.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Experience the power of the Plaza when they have the
- 16:25Speaker 1: keys to performance in style with Ram Cheep, Chevy, Pwick
- 16:28Speaker 1: and GMC had a huge selection of Houston all in
- 16:30Speaker 1: one places.
- 16:32Speaker 5: Here's Mo Sher Lombardi and KS.
- 16:35Speaker 7: Eight o'clock tip tonight Lakers and Nuggets.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Victor.
- 16:40Speaker 4: Let me start with this.
- 16:41Speaker 3: When you include regular season in playoffs, Lebron James as
- 16:47Speaker 3: a winning record against every team in the NBA except one.
- 16:51Speaker 3: Identify that one in the Orlando Magic the Denver Nuggets tonight.
- 16:59Speaker 3: This might be the final time Lebron James visits Denver.
- 17:02Speaker 5: By the way, is this on the Pacock tonight and
- 17:05Speaker 5: on altitude we got to stop, thank god, this could be.
- 17:08Speaker 4: The final final time.
- 17:10Speaker 3: You never know at this point, but that's a record
- 17:13Speaker 3: that the Denver Nuggets, the organization in the city, can
- 17:16Speaker 3: be proud of. He's beating everybody around the league except
- 17:20Speaker 3: the Denver Nuggets.
- 17:21Speaker 4: Uh, the key tonight very simple looks like Aaron Gordon
- 17:25Speaker 4: will play. I don't know for sure. He's listed as questionable, probable,
- 17:28Speaker 4: all that business.
- 17:29Speaker 3: I don't know what the difference is anymore. I know
- 17:31Speaker 3: the Joker's not gonna play. I know Yonas is not
- 17:32Speaker 3: gonna play. They're still gonna play without a center. Since
- 17:35Speaker 3: those two have been out, the rebounding has been an issue.
- 17:38Speaker 4: Nuggets handled the boards with them.
- 17:40Speaker 3: Without them, they're the second to worst rebounding team in
- 17:43Speaker 3: the league.
- 17:44Speaker 4: They're dead last in paint games. In the paint, they're
- 17:48Speaker 4: dead last in second chance points because they can't get
- 17:52Speaker 4: a rebound. They can't rebound the ball without their bigs.
- 17:54Speaker 4: It's understandable. So how do you win? How have they won?
- 17:57Speaker 4: You better make your shots and make your threes. That
- 18:01Speaker 4: is going to be fundamental to then Nuggets beating the
- 18:03Speaker 4: Lakers tonight.
- 18:04Speaker 3: The only way you win you can't rebound, is make
- 18:06Speaker 3: sure you don't have to rebound misses.
- 18:08Speaker 4: Make make your threes win the game.
- 18:10Speaker 5: You know, I didn't think they were that that bad
- 18:13Speaker 5: against the Hornets. I didn't think they were that bad.
- 18:15Speaker 4: What are you talking about.
- 18:19Speaker 5: Eight, I'm just talking about the game overall. I thought
- 18:21Speaker 5: the I thought the energy level at least as the
- 18:24Speaker 5: game war on was pretty good. They couldn't make a
- 18:26Speaker 5: dang shot. They simply couldn't make it. They looked they did,
- 18:31Speaker 5: they couldn't make and they couldn't rebound and that was
- 18:33Speaker 5: a disaster.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Chiese of the game powered by Johnson audoplasea. He gets
- 18:36Speaker 2: election service and incredible savings on Ramjeep Chevy, Buelk and
- 18:39Speaker 2: gmc all at one location experienced the power of the
- 18:42Speaker 2: Plaza at Johnson Audi Plaza.
- 18:45Speaker 4: Laver's Day, so freaks.
- 18:51Speaker 2: You know what's crazy about what your facing this weekend?
- 18:56Speaker 2: And Drake may like I think the most remarkable number
- 19:00Speaker 2: about him And we noticed this about midway through the
- 19:04Speaker 2: year and it held firm until the end of the year.
- 19:09Speaker 2: He led the league in completion percentage at seventy two percent.
- 19:17Speaker 2: And we've seen guys in the NFL, and this is
- 19:20Speaker 2: where I think completion percentage can be a misleading stat
- 19:23Speaker 2: because a lot of guys can do that. You know,
- 19:25Speaker 2: I remember case Keenum about five six years ago led
- 19:29Speaker 2: the league. I think in completion percentage but it was
- 19:31Speaker 2: a lot of like dump off here, dump off there,
- 19:33Speaker 2: So it can you can skew the numbers a little
- 19:36Speaker 2: bit when you look at completion percentage, but seventy two
- 19:38Speaker 2: percent is really good. Nobody else even got to seventy.
- 19:42Speaker 5: That is cool.
- 19:42Speaker 7: He's doing it on nine yards per attempt, which also
- 19:47Speaker 7: led the league.
- 19:49Speaker 2: That's what's insane.
- 19:50Speaker 5: So what you're saying is that his ability to fit
- 19:53Speaker 5: the ball downfield into small locations and stretch the field
- 19:57Speaker 5: is superb.
- 19:58Speaker 2: It's it's markable accuracy for how deep he throws the ball.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Yes, I also think he benefits from having a run
- 20:06Speaker 3: game that allows the safeties to come up totally, totally
- 20:10Speaker 3: and you can't make any There's no Nobody can convince
- 20:13Speaker 3: me otherwise. When you have two running backs and a
- 20:16Speaker 3: run game, an offense that is a threat on every play,
- 20:21Speaker 3: your safeties are naturally gonna creep up to the line
- 20:23Speaker 3: of scrimmage. And when your safeties creep up, you have
- 20:25Speaker 3: more opportunities down the field.
- 20:27Speaker 4: It's science.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Let me tell you something right now. I am almost
- 20:30Speaker 2: I'm offended for Mike Rabel that nobody jumped on him earlier.
- 20:33Speaker 2: I'm offended for him how dare they. Rabel's a hell
- 20:37Speaker 2: of a coach. He knows what he's doing, and he
- 20:39Speaker 2: does like an old school style, Like it's run the football,
- 20:44Speaker 2: play good defense, and then make some big throws.
- 20:46Speaker 4: But that's not Rabel, that's Josh McDaniels. Josh McDaniels runs
- 20:50Speaker 4: the offense, Vrabel doesn't do coach.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Yeah, hang on a second, though, Rabel has done this
- 20:56Speaker 2: in Tennessee without Josh McDaniels when he had Ryan Tanne
- 20:59Speaker 2: Ryan tanneher like quarterback two. I mean, he took the
- 21:01Speaker 2: Titans to an AFC championship game with Tannehill of all
- 21:04Speaker 2: people like he is just he's really really good at
- 21:11Speaker 2: the basics of football. I'll call it. Be disciplined, run
- 21:14Speaker 2: the ball well, play good defense, and then fill in
- 21:16Speaker 2: the gaps everywhere else.
- 21:19Speaker 5: But Drake may like, let's let's go down the list.
- 21:21Speaker 2: But can I can I just oh, go ahead?
- 21:23Speaker 5: What I was gonna say? Number one completion percentage, yes,
- 21:26Speaker 5: number one, in yards per completion, yes, gouts per attempt,
- 21:30Speaker 5: yards per attempt, and probably completion two.
- 21:33Speaker 4: But fourth overall in.
- 21:34Speaker 5: Total yards passing yep, at nearly for we'll call it
- 21:38Speaker 5: forty four hundred.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Yeah, he was.
- 21:42Speaker 5: Third in touchdown passes. Yep, dude, the kid is frigging good.
- 21:49Speaker 2: And he was also like, how about rating, We're one
- 21:51Speaker 2: of the better in the league at turning the ball
- 21:54Speaker 2: over to rating, he's number one, one hundred and thirteen
- 21:56Speaker 2: point five. The one thing that he's qudr he's number one.
- 21:59Speaker 5: Now it's of picks. He threw eight, which is in
- 22:03Speaker 5: the course of a season. Pretty dang good.
- 22:05Speaker 2: It has nothing.
- 22:06Speaker 5: But he will put the ball on the turf.
- 22:09Speaker 2: He will do that now. The other aspect of this, though,
- 22:14Speaker 2: as you're playing against Drake Man we mentioned this earlier.
- 22:16Speaker 2: You said he puts the ball on the turf. He
- 22:17Speaker 2: is the fourth most sacked quarterback in the league, which
- 22:20Speaker 2: means you can get after him. I don't know if
- 22:22Speaker 2: that's him holding onto the football a little bit longer
- 22:24Speaker 2: to try and make plays downfield or what, but you
- 22:27Speaker 2: can do that. The thing about New England though, and
- 22:31Speaker 2: their offense, because they do everything well and we put
- 22:37Speaker 2: an emphasis on this last week against Buffalo too. It
- 22:40Speaker 2: was stopping the run. You did not do that against
- 22:42Speaker 2: James Cook, just you didn't. Can you do a better
- 22:45Speaker 2: job here to allow your pass rush to get those opportunities,
- 22:50Speaker 2: because if not, then you're going to be in some
- 22:51Speaker 2: big trouble.
- 22:53Speaker 3: Can can I talk a little bit about the Broncos
- 22:55Speaker 3: defensive strategy last week, last couple of games, and what's
- 22:58Speaker 3: bothered me a little bit. I think they've gotten away
- 23:02Speaker 3: from who they are. And you hear this term all
- 23:05Speaker 3: the time because Peyton uses it, Van Joseph uses it.
- 23:09Speaker 3: The strategy going into that game against Josh Allen was
- 23:12Speaker 3: to cage rush him, kge rush, in other words, not
- 23:17Speaker 3: go crazy right at you know, come around, sort of
- 23:20Speaker 3: contain exactly contain him. And I don't think that's who
- 23:24Speaker 3: the Broncos are. I think they're going against their own
- 23:27Speaker 3: DNA too much to the point where you can try that,
- 23:32Speaker 3: but it's not necessarily going to work. Sure everybody wants
- 23:36Speaker 3: to cage rush and make sure you contain a quarterback
- 23:38Speaker 3: who's slippery. I'd like to see them just become who
- 23:41Speaker 3: they are again. Just go do what you did most
- 23:44Speaker 3: of the season that produced all those sacks.
- 23:48Speaker 4: Do you guys agree or disagree?
- 23:50Speaker 2: I think that whatever their strategy was against Josh Allen
- 23:55Speaker 2: will not be the same against Drake May and that
- 23:57Speaker 2: sort of cage rush thing probably won't apply because Josh
- 24:00Speaker 2: Allen's just unique. But how about this, vic, let me
- 24:03Speaker 2: ask this in another way. They got beat up through
- 24:08Speaker 2: the ground and through the air for some yards, and
- 24:09Speaker 2: they gave up some points. Again, you have a final
- 24:12Speaker 2: score of thirty three to thirty. Would you take thirty
- 24:18Speaker 2: points allowed if they got five turnovers again? Of course
- 24:22Speaker 2: all day, okay, or the usual thing that they've done
- 24:26Speaker 2: all year, which is like seventeen to twenty points but
- 24:28Speaker 2: no turnovers.
- 24:31Speaker 5: I don't know that that's going to win it for you, dude, Okay,
- 24:34Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 24:34Speaker 3: It's not like New England's a high scoring crezy. I mean,
- 24:38Speaker 3: I think this is going to be a score quite
- 24:39Speaker 3: a bit. I well, I'm not going to give you
- 24:41Speaker 3: my prediction till later in the week, but I gave
- 24:43Speaker 3: you a high scoring game for Buffalo.
- 24:45Speaker 4: I think this one's going to air on the low
- 24:47Speaker 4: scoring side. You're an idiot.
- 24:49Speaker 2: I don't know. I did that last time and then, right,
- 24:51Speaker 2: so let me just do that.
- 24:53Speaker 5: I'm going I'm gonna make a proclamation right now. I'm
- 24:55Speaker 5: gonna be completely honest if you get if you get
- 24:59Speaker 5: this right, And by the way, the Patriots in the
- 25:03Speaker 5: regular season for the second high scoring team in the
- 25:06Speaker 5: league against game twenty nine points per I.
- 25:10Speaker 3: Just don't if you get going on something being as
- 25:12Speaker 3: explosive as Josh Allen and that Buffalo team is another right,
- 25:15Speaker 3: you see the difference.
- 25:16Speaker 5: If you get as close to or right like you
- 25:19Speaker 5: did this past weekend. Vic, I'm not going to be
- 25:23Speaker 5: able to live with you.
- 25:25Speaker 4: Dude, I'm not. I didn't come in here saying I
- 25:28Speaker 4: told you so.
- 25:30Speaker 2: I did it for him because that was it. That's kudos.
- 25:33Speaker 4: I missed it by one point. I am not going
- 25:37Speaker 4: to be able to live with you.
- 25:38Speaker 2: That was a bold ass prediction that he made. That
- 25:41Speaker 2: was pretty much exactly on blew me away.
- 25:44Speaker 4: I mean, dude, to the turnovers and everything.
- 25:47Speaker 3: Most okay, So instead of focusing on your music, listen
- 25:50Speaker 3: to my take, my hot takes.
- 25:52Speaker 5: You talk about a well rounded football team. I the
- 25:55Speaker 5: more I dig into this Patriots squad, the more nervous
- 25:58Speaker 5: I'm getting.
- 26:01Speaker 1: You.
- 26:04Speaker 5: Remember, they were ninth against the pass. They were sixth
- 26:06Speaker 5: against the rush in terms of defense, which is pretty
- 26:08Speaker 5: damn good. Their young quarterback is number one at a
- 26:12Speaker 5: bunch of stuff. They were thrown overall in terms of
- 26:15Speaker 5: yards per game offensively second overall points per game passing overall,
- 26:21Speaker 5: they were fourth in the league per game rushing overall,
- 26:24Speaker 5: they were but about sixth in rushing yards per game
- 26:29Speaker 5: at one hundred and twenty nine. Dude, this is a
- 26:31Speaker 5: this is a good team. There's one This is just.
- 26:34Speaker 5: This is just And I don't care if you say, well,
- 26:36Speaker 5: they didn't beat anybody in the regular season, do they
- 26:39Speaker 5: they kicked? But okay, they just won their two playoff games.
- 26:42Speaker 2: There is one final unknown surrounding Drake May that we're
- 26:46Speaker 2: going to find out this weekend because everything else I
- 26:49Speaker 2: think we kind of know. Can you throw the deep ball? Yeah?
- 26:52Speaker 2: Can he play conservatively and not turn the ball over? Yeah?
- 26:57Speaker 2: Can they put up points? Yes? Can they do all
- 26:59Speaker 2: this different stuff, yes they can. There's one thing that
- 27:02Speaker 2: we don't know. Can he handle the environment that he's
- 27:08Speaker 2: going to walk into this Sunday in a road scenario.
- 27:12Speaker 4: It's a great question.
- 27:13Speaker 2: Both games at home. He is a second year player
- 27:17Speaker 2: who has not dealt with this kind of pressure in
- 27:20Speaker 2: that kind of crowd.
- 27:21Speaker 4: That's a great question.
- 27:22Speaker 3: I could turn it around and say Ken Jared Stidham,
- 27:24Speaker 3: who has n't started a game in two years, handle
- 27:26Speaker 3: the pressure of an AFC Championship game.
- 27:28Speaker 4: That is his walkoff point for sure.
- 27:30Speaker 2: But that's something that we know, We're like, hey, this
- 27:32Speaker 2: is going to be a problem, sure, Drake May because
- 27:35Speaker 2: of the success that he's had already. I think maybe
- 27:38Speaker 2: that's a little bit more behind the curtain in the
- 27:41Speaker 2: way that people think about it. But it's a huge factor.
- 27:43Speaker 5: Yeah, huge, you know, I mean very to your point
- 27:47Speaker 5: in terms of May in his career, ba bah, this
- 27:53Speaker 5: guy has started now thirty games in his National Football League.
- 27:58Speaker 5: More than that, he started thirty two games of his
- 28:00Speaker 5: National Football League career, which is eight times the amount
- 28:04Speaker 5: of Jared Stidham.
- 28:07Speaker 3: I mean, I have another concern that's deeper than just
- 28:13Speaker 3: the quarterback position, and it's related to the quarterback position
- 28:16Speaker 3: because we're.
- 28:16Speaker 4: Not talking about this enough.
- 28:18Speaker 3: Remember Bo Nicks found a way to win when two
- 28:21Speaker 3: of his top receivers went down very early in that game.
- 28:24Speaker 5: So now you've.
- 28:25Speaker 3: Got a quarterback coming in with very little experience, and
- 28:29Speaker 3: your mine is two key receivers. And frankly, Pat Bryant
- 28:32Speaker 3: concussion is second concussion in a month.
- 28:34Speaker 4: I don't expect him to play.
- 28:36Speaker 3: You, No, Troy Franklin hamstring, and come on, he's not
- 28:40Speaker 3: playing with a hammy.
- 28:41Speaker 4: So your minus two key receivers.
- 28:43Speaker 3: You don't think that the new England Patriots is You
- 28:46Speaker 3: don't think they've watched the film. You don't think they're
- 28:48Speaker 3: gonna key on Marvin Memes. So two things have to
- 28:51Speaker 3: happen this week in my opinion, for the Broncos to win.
- 28:53Speaker 3: And this is gonna be critical. Corland Sutton's got to
- 28:56Speaker 3: play like a pro bowler.
- 28:58Speaker 2: He wasn't. He was not good last week.
- 29:00Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, that's number one.
- 29:03Speaker 3: And number two we have to see signs of life
- 29:07Speaker 3: from Evan Ingram.
- 29:09Speaker 4: We have to.
- 29:12Speaker 2: We have to Yeah, agreed, Yeah, there's you know, you know,
- 29:20Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not. I'm trying to figure out the
- 29:23Speaker 2: right way to say.
- 29:24Speaker 4: Trying to find a god damn jokes.
- 29:25Speaker 2: This isn't like addition by subtraction. But there is a benefit,
- 29:31Speaker 2: however you want to call it, uh, even though you're
- 29:34Speaker 2: you're out Pat Bryant and Troy Franklin. The benefit to
- 29:39Speaker 2: me is it forces Marvin Mims to play a bigger role,
- 29:42Speaker 2: which I've wanted forever and we watched last week. Works
- 29:46Speaker 2: out pretty well.
- 29:47Speaker 7: When this guy gets targeted the football and gets consistent
- 29:50Speaker 7: playing time within the offense.
- 29:52Speaker 5: Somebody just texted and this is I'm going to encourage
- 29:55Speaker 5: people to do things that I didn't want them to
- 29:57Speaker 5: an hour ago or two hours ago. I said, you
- 30:01Speaker 5: can be optimistic, but you've got to be realistic on
- 30:03Speaker 5: this program. You know what, Throw that to the wind.
- 30:07Speaker 5: Throw it all to the wind. Believe whatever it is
- 30:10Speaker 5: you want to believe. The nine oh three zero New
- 30:13Speaker 5: England doesn't cover the tide end. Well, okay, uh, I
- 30:19Speaker 5: would say to you nine o three If you want
- 30:22Speaker 5: to believe that, remember it's not a lie. If you
- 30:25Speaker 5: believe it, that's great.
- 30:26Speaker 4: But the Broncos have to use the tid end.
- 30:28Speaker 5: Yeah, they have to work. Here's Loretta. By the way,
- 30:30Speaker 5: Loretta chimed in again today the Nemesis. If CJ. Strouded
- 30:35Speaker 5: played a better game than he did, they might have
- 30:37Speaker 5: lost that game on Sunday. Guys, be real, Loretta. You
- 30:40Speaker 5: know Loretta, if you believe that, then good for you.
- 30:45Speaker 5: Believe whatever it is you want to believe. Who am
- 30:48Speaker 5: I sitting in front of this microphone to tell you
- 30:52Speaker 5: that the sun does not rise in the west. Believe
- 30:55Speaker 5: it whatever you want to believe Loretta. Whatever you and
- 30:58Speaker 5: anybody else out there would whatever you can talk yourselves into,
- 31:01Speaker 5: I say, go for it, because you need to get
- 31:03Speaker 5: You're gonna need to pull out all stops this weekend.
- 31:06Speaker 5: I end up story.
- 31:07Speaker 2: You will feel like I'm caught in between on this stuff,
- 31:09Speaker 2: like while you caught in between between me and Loretto,
- 31:12Speaker 2: because most you have spouted nothing but doom and gloom,
- 31:16Speaker 2: and I'm like, I don't think that's it either. Like
- 31:19Speaker 2: here's here's what I'll tell you this on Tuesday, with
- 31:22Speaker 2: days before this game left to go, if I had
- 31:26Speaker 2: to put my mortgage down on somebody to win this game,
- 31:29Speaker 2: I'm putting it on New England. Okay, they just have
- 31:31Speaker 2: they have too many advantages over what you have right now,
- 31:33Speaker 2: especially with the backup quarter quarterback entering the game. I'm
- 31:37Speaker 2: not putting their chances at zero.
- 31:39Speaker 5: Though I am surprised if the Broncos won, I guess
- 31:45Speaker 5: I wouldn't be surprised. I would be pleasantly well, I
- 31:48Speaker 5: don't even know how to put it.
- 31:50Speaker 2: Stemp above surprised or below surprised.
- 31:56Speaker 5: Step below surprised.
- 31:59Speaker 2: Like no, not like wow, the Broncos won, baby Like huh?
- 32:04Speaker 2: I don't know whatever that noise is.
- 32:06Speaker 4: Let me see what is.
- 32:07Speaker 5: A step below? Surprised, mildly surprised, but amused, amused, quizzical,
- 32:15Speaker 5: raised eyebrows, taken aback. Yeah those all apply okay, but bemused?
- 32:21Speaker 5: How's that?
- 32:22Speaker 4: Well?
- 32:24Speaker 5: Implies a mixture of mild surprise and slight confusion.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Yes, uh.
- 32:30Speaker 5: Quizzical indicates a questioning or amused puzzlement.
- 32:34Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 32:34Speaker 2: I feel like those aren't in a negative sense though,
- 32:37Speaker 2: Like when you say taken aback, I don't that feels
- 32:41Speaker 2: negative and that's not what it is.
- 32:43Speaker 4: Agreed?
- 32:44Speaker 5: I agree?
- 32:46Speaker 2: I think the same. Remember we played the sound game
- 32:48Speaker 2: with quarterbacks a couple of weeks ago in the playoffs. Yes,
- 32:51Speaker 2: I'd go huh that sound would exit if the Broncos won.
- 32:56Speaker 5: I'd be like, all right, yeah.
- 33:00Speaker 2: One last reminder, your final keyword is Sanford. Like Mike,
- 33:06Speaker 2: text three h three five oh four of ninety five
- 33:08Speaker 2: Sandford in your first and last name. You're answered to
- 33:10Speaker 2: win two tickets to the Avs and Ducks tomorrow. Check
- 33:12Speaker 2: out that ten dollars Tuesdays at Papa Murphy's. Any large pizza,
- 33:15Speaker 2: just ten bucks. Papa Murphy's dot com will announce a
- 33:18Speaker 2: winner at nine. By the way, fifty five.
- 33:20Speaker 5: I don't think I'm being negative either.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Actually this would be the sound that would be the
- 33:25Speaker 2: sound of the Bronx.
- 33:26Speaker 5: The eight last thing, the three sorry, the three nine
- 33:29Speaker 5: two four mosers being a little whiny baby since bo
- 33:32Speaker 5: got hurt? Am I no, I just I just know
- 33:35Speaker 5: the task at hand, and I know what the Broncos
- 33:37Speaker 5: face like since birth, and and I yeah, okay, great,
- 33:41Speaker 5: And I don't know what you're gonna get out of
- 33:43Speaker 5: your quarterback starting in the AFC title game. Nobody has
- 33:46Speaker 5: any clue. You can have a feeling, you can have
- 33:48Speaker 5: a lean Sean Payton probably does, but the God's honest truth,
- 33:51Speaker 5: we really do not know.
- 33:53Speaker 2: I like this Textra says, all be damned. If you
- 33:55Speaker 2: put like a Southern accident on that, that'll be my reaction.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Broncos win, they walk up off the field, they're going
- 34:00Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl, be like, oh, be dam How would
- 34:03Speaker 2: Todd Bowles say that?
- 34:04Speaker 8: Nelly, You'd probably say something like, well, the Broncos don't
- 34:09Speaker 8: play in a dome, you know that, right, I'll be damned.
- 34:12Speaker 5: Yeah that's good. That's really good, really good?
- 34:18Speaker 2: All right, fact checker. Next, Well, now, it's the winner
- 34:21Speaker 2: of the parent tickets of the Avs and Ducks tomorrow.
- 34:24Speaker 2: In just a moment, I just saw something. By the way,
- 34:27Speaker 2: Indiana being the national champion last night. It's from ESPN Insights.
- 34:35Speaker 2: Indiana did not lose a fumble over its final one
- 34:38Speaker 2: forty seven offensive plays the last fifteen games of their season.
- 34:44Speaker 2: The only fumble they lost this year was in the
- 34:47Speaker 2: first quarter of the season opener.
- 34:49Speaker 5: Wow, that is inredible. You know, the.
- 34:58Speaker 3: What moment in that game When you think back at
- 35:01Speaker 3: Indiana's sixteen to zero magical season, magic ride, what moment
- 35:06Speaker 3: will resonate years from now?
- 35:08Speaker 5: The what play?
- 35:10Speaker 2: Two of them for me, One of them happened last night.
- 35:12Speaker 2: I thought the Mendoza touchdown was great, but the touchdown
- 35:16Speaker 2: the back of the end zone against Penn State.
- 35:17Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, but I'm talking about the national title games,
- 35:20Speaker 3: National title Yeah, that play. So it's interesting to me
- 35:25Speaker 3: because that play is as close to a the Lway
- 35:29Speaker 3: helicopter play in the Super Bowl as it gets. It's
- 35:32Speaker 3: a quarterback, this sign, He's gonna put his body on
- 35:34Speaker 3: the line.
- 35:35Speaker 4: Screw it. He went right after a lineback. He ran
- 35:38Speaker 4: over a guy.
- 35:39Speaker 5: Yeah, well he juked the guy ran over a guy
- 35:42Speaker 5: and then went flying.
- 35:43Speaker 4: And got slobber knocked into the end zone.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Yep, no, it was seriously, it was like something out
- 35:50Speaker 2: of a movie. That's what they would make the Heisman
- 35:52Speaker 2: Trophy winner in the National Championship to like try and
- 35:55Speaker 2: seal the game. That's the play it would look like.
- 35:57Speaker 2: And Shane Falco in the replacements it my.
- 36:00Speaker 5: Boy Keano, a left handed quarterback. Who is a better
- 36:05Speaker 5: quarterback Shane Falco or Johnny Utah?
- 36:08Speaker 4: Well, we saw Falco play Utah. We never saw give
- 36:12Speaker 4: me Too. But he did n like Jared's did him?
- 36:15Speaker 4: We have no, you need to see evidence.
- 36:19Speaker 5: We did see Shane Falco. Yeah, and Gene Hackman was
- 36:21Speaker 5: a good coach, got the rest of his soul. Hey,
- 36:24Speaker 5: what is there any fear for you guys? And by
- 36:26Speaker 5: the way, I want to get you a signette quote momentarily,
- 36:28Speaker 5: any fear about Mendoza playing for the Raiders? Do you
- 36:31Speaker 5: fear that kid at all? No?
- 36:32Speaker 3: You know everybody who assumes just because you achieve in
- 36:35Speaker 3: college that it translates to the pros. Let's let's pump
- 36:38Speaker 3: the brakes just a little bit.
- 36:40Speaker 5: But what if he gives all glory to God? Again, Nelly,
- 36:43Speaker 5: it's your favorite, he's gotta find it. Sorry, he cursed
- 36:47Speaker 5: last night.
- 36:47Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys saw the glory to.
- 36:49Speaker 5: God he cursed. He also said this, whatever they need
- 36:53Speaker 5: me to do, they needed me to take, you know,
- 36:55Speaker 5: Sean from the front of the back.
- 36:56Speaker 4: Whatever it is, I'm gonna die for my team out there.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Hey, or phrasing we're never supposed to be in this,
- 37:03Speaker 2: or phrasing there.
- 37:04Speaker 5: You guys are piling on a kid who just laid
- 37:07Speaker 5: his body on the line for a NAT.
- 37:08Speaker 2: I told you this. I think he's insane your mind.
- 37:11Speaker 2: I think's he's insanely talented, but all in favor, he's weird.
- 37:16Speaker 5: I yeah, well a lot of great players are weird.
- 37:19Speaker 4: Everybody's weird. What's your definition of weird? He's He's not
- 37:23Speaker 4: like most so weird.
- 37:27Speaker 2: So I was accurate in my assessment.
- 37:28Speaker 4: Thank you, Vick.
- 37:29Speaker 5: So here's Signetti's quote calling the Indiana Championship a paradigm
- 37:34Speaker 5: shift that opens the door to any program willing to
- 37:37Speaker 5: invest to climb to the top of the sport. He says, quote,
- 37:41Speaker 5: people can cling to an old way of thinking, categorizing
- 37:44Speaker 5: teams is this or that or conferences. Is this or that?
- 37:47Speaker 5: Or they can adjust to the new world, the shift
- 37:49Speaker 5: in the power dynamic in college football today.
- 37:52Speaker 2: He's right, wow, all right.
- 37:54Speaker 3: So it's January twentieth, twenty twenty six. If somebody had said,
- 37:59Speaker 3: you know, four years ago, two years ago, two years ago,
- 38:04Speaker 3: somebody had said, Miami, I'm sorry, Indiana is gonna be
- 38:07Speaker 3: the next powerhouse, I would have laughed.
- 38:09Speaker 5: I would have left right out loud.
- 38:10Speaker 3: I would have laughed out loud. I would have laughed
- 38:12Speaker 3: out loud. I would have snickered. Then I would have
- 38:15Speaker 3: turned off my microphone and walk out. I name the
- 38:19Speaker 3: next all right, so let's see if we're gonna.
- 38:21Speaker 5: Do all you want to have. You wanna play a
- 38:23Speaker 5: fun game.
- 38:23Speaker 3: Okay, Let's find the next team that doesn't have a history.
- 38:28Speaker 4: Now that's the thing about Indiana. Their football history awful,
- 38:35Speaker 4: I mean awful.
- 38:36Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, okay, got it, got it.
- 38:39Speaker 4: You can't go with the team that you know like
- 38:42Speaker 4: I get it.
- 38:42Speaker 2: I know, I got you.
- 38:43Speaker 4: You can't see you see you won a national title,
- 38:45Speaker 4: see you climb the mountain.
- 38:47Speaker 5: It's gotta be a team Kansas.
- 38:52Speaker 2: It's gotta be like a Kansas or a Duke that
- 38:54Speaker 2: gets nil money through their their basketball stuff, but they
- 38:57Speaker 2: can funnel it towards football if they want to. I'm
- 39:00Speaker 2: going with like a Kansas or a Duke or a UNC.
- 39:03Speaker 2: They aren't in these they aren't in the SEC or
- 39:05Speaker 2: the Big ten conferences. They could make hay and the
- 39:08Speaker 2: conferences they're in. I mean Texas Tech does that qualify?
- 39:13Speaker 2: Texas Tech could get there.
- 39:15Speaker 5: But it's been a football school. I mean they've played.
- 39:17Speaker 4: Yeah, that's been a football suh.
- 39:19Speaker 2: I mean what they had a couple of years under
- 39:22Speaker 2: Leachs where they had Crabtree and Graham Harrell and then
- 39:24Speaker 2: what I mean that.
- 39:25Speaker 4: I got one for you. I got one for you.
- 39:28Speaker 4: Arizona oh Doude.
- 39:30Speaker 5: Well they had the Desert Swarm defense. They were pretty well,
- 39:32Speaker 5: but that's as close as they got. I mean played there.
- 39:39Speaker 4: You know, I'm just.
- 39:39Speaker 3: Going I'm utilizing I'm utilizing Brett Kane's model that he
- 39:43Speaker 3: just referenced. A longtime basketball school that can now funnel
- 39:46Speaker 3: its money to football.
- 39:48Speaker 4: That would qualify.
- 39:50Speaker 5: Yeah, what about like a San Diego State or some
- 39:53Speaker 5: crazy thing like that.
- 39:55Speaker 2: No, they got to be a major conference.
- 39:56Speaker 5: Okay, Well, he just said you can stick to the
- 39:59Speaker 5: old way of thinking in regards to teams or conferences
- 40:03Speaker 5: as this or that.
- 40:04Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with one of those. I'll
- 40:06Speaker 2: just say basketball school. Who can change because na L
- 40:09Speaker 2: money is coming in for basketball and they can shift
- 40:11Speaker 2: that over.
- 40:11Speaker 4: Can Houston do it?
- 40:15Speaker 5: Houston's Well, Houston's had Heisman Trophy winners, victim and they've
- 40:18Speaker 5: already they've already played pretty damn good football.
- 40:21Speaker 4: To win a national title.
- 40:22Speaker 3: No, no, but I mean there, but that's you know,
- 40:24Speaker 3: the clubs being in the club, Baby, the club.
- 40:28Speaker 4: You know what the club is. I know what that
- 40:31Speaker 4: club looks like.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Have been in the club Rutgers.
- 40:36Speaker 5: By the way, Vick, you were saying earlier, if I
- 40:39Speaker 5: could have one coach in football to coach up a
- 40:41Speaker 5: second string quarterback, a backup quarterback to a you know,
- 40:47Speaker 5: to eight A level enough to win an AFC championship game.
- 40:52Speaker 2: I would take Jesus Christ.
- 40:53Speaker 5: Okay, besides, friend of Kentucky might be at Kentucky, but
- 40:59Speaker 5: they had the big factquarterback that one time, remember Jared Lorenza.
- 41:02Speaker 2: Kentucky's had a couple of spike years the last decade.
- 41:05Speaker 4: They got a couple.
- 41:05Speaker 5: So but you said Sean Payton Vick Kentucky will Levis, Yeah,
- 41:11Speaker 5: they did. I would see. Kyle Shanahan's done a pretty
- 41:15Speaker 5: good job of yeah, resurrecting backup quarterbacks to win games.
- 41:20Speaker 2: To be fair, you know what, Shanahan is number one
- 41:23Speaker 2: on that list. I've seen it.
- 41:25Speaker 4: I've seen I get it. So I've seen Sean Payton too.
- 41:28Speaker 5: Dude.
- 41:28Speaker 4: Look at Sean Payton's backup quarterbacks and what they've done.
- 41:31Speaker 5: Okay, but I want to look at it. I watched
- 41:33Speaker 5: Mac Jones this year be a guy that I have
- 41:35Speaker 5: never seen before in my life. Though I get it,
- 41:38Speaker 5: he gave him mouth to mouth, I get it.
- 41:40Speaker 3: But Sean Payton coaches the hell out of his backups,
- 41:43Speaker 3: which leads me to believe they just know it's a
- 41:45Speaker 3: system that he runs and they like it.
- 41:49Speaker 5: You ever had mouth the mouth, Well, Mac Jones' career
- 41:52Speaker 5: did from Kyle Shanahan, because that kid can play football
- 41:55Speaker 5: now until he leaves. Well, Kyle Shanahan is a miracle worker.
- 42:01Speaker 5: I'm telling you, man, that guy is great. I know
- 42:03Speaker 5: they got throttled by Seattle, but there's a reason for that.
- 42:08Speaker 4: Of Indiana.
- 42:09Speaker 5: Oh, here we go, here we go.
- 42:12Speaker 2: Hey, Mendoza's younger brother did hit the transfer portal already?
- 42:16Speaker 5: Oh he did, he did.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Yeah, he's leaving.
- 42:19Speaker 5: Your kid, oh, because they're getting that other Berto. Yeah,
- 42:24Speaker 5: they're getting the TCU kid.
- 42:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:26Speaker 5: Wow, Hey, where did where did my guy sores be
- 42:28Speaker 5: end up? Again?
- 42:29Speaker 4: Texas Tech? They paid a healthy, healthy stipend to get
- 42:33Speaker 4: him to Wait, Swarsby's going to the Red Raiders.
- 42:36Speaker 5: Ye yes, yeah, I thought it was maybe thinking LSU
- 42:39Speaker 5: what happened there?
- 42:41Speaker 4: Seat and hanging out with Lane Kiffin?
- 42:45Speaker 5: Really?
- 42:45Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah?
- 42:46Speaker 5: So Lane Kiffin at LSU came in and he's getting
- 42:49Speaker 5: our Colorado kid.
- 42:51Speaker 3: Jordan Seaton basically, you know, he was playing the good
- 42:53Speaker 3: soldier in Boulder. He was like, come on, come join me, come.
- 42:55Speaker 4: On, let's we're dogs. And then finally the money started flowing.
- 43:00Speaker 4: He was like, all right, enough of this, let's go
- 43:01Speaker 4: get some money.
- 43:02Speaker 2: The fact that he used the video from the production
- 43:04Speaker 2: team that they made for him to say I'm coming
- 43:07Speaker 2: back and then just use that to say I'm leaving
- 43:09Speaker 2: is pretty dirty work.
- 43:11Speaker 4: Wait what do you do?
- 43:13Speaker 2: He had the production team at SEU make him a
- 43:15Speaker 2: video about him coming back to see you for another year.
- 43:17Speaker 2: They gave him the video, and then he used the
- 43:19Speaker 2: video to announce that he was entering the portal.
- 43:21Speaker 5: He did.
- 43:22Speaker 2: Yes, Wow, dirty work.
- 43:24Speaker 5: Wow.

- 44:07Speaker 8: two thousand and four, so that's actually twenty two years ago. Bread,
- 44:11Speaker 8: I know, we hate doing math on the spot, but yes,
- 44:13Speaker 8: he did that at the Iowa Caucus and then his
- 44:16Speaker 8: ratings plummeted after that infamation got.
- 44:19Speaker 2: Him eliminated from the race. And as just an aside,
- 44:26Speaker 2: a footnote to that, if you watch Breaking Bad, in
- 44:28Speaker 2: the scene in which he blows up Tuco Salamanca's building
- 44:32Speaker 2: at the very beginning season one of that series. They
- 44:36Speaker 2: throw in the scream during the explosion. Check it out yourself.
