00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 3>more koozies. I'll look today.

16
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, Bulldog the process Wick, Yeah.

17
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 4>It's beautiful down there in downtown Tavari's right there on

18
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 4>the Harris Chain of Lakes is awesome.

19
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 5>Oh you go boating out there?

20
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Right?

21
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely? I love boating.

22
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Bulldog. The process of stripping the Detroit Lions coaching

23
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.200
<v Speaker 2>staff for parts contain.

24
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:06.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, absolutely, Aaron Glenn, the defensive coordinator, is now gone.

25
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 4>He's the new coach of the New York Jets. Of course,

26
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:13.120
<v Speaker 4>Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator, the most highly thought after

27
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 4>a coaching candidate out there. He became the coach of

28
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.599
<v Speaker 4>the Chicago Bears earlier this week. And speaking of coaching

29
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.560
<v Speaker 4>searches and all of that, my Jacksonville Jaguars are buffoons.

30
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 4>They are buffoons. I don't know if you saw what

31
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.640
<v Speaker 4>they did yesterday. They fired their general manager Trmp Balky.

32
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.000
<v Speaker 4>All right, Why did they fire Trent Balkey because he

33
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 4>had become a hindrance in trying to hire a coach,

34
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.159
<v Speaker 4>as they Ben Johnson might have wanted to coach the Jaguars,

35
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:47.560
<v Speaker 4>but he didn't want to work with Trent Balky. And

36
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 4>then yesterday Liam Cohen, the offensive coordinator of the Tampa

37
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 4>Bay Buccaneers, was scheduled to come to an interview for

38
00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 4>the Buccaneers and he withdrew to stay with the Buccaneers

39
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 4>the offensive coordinators. So what did the Jaguars do? They

40
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 4>fired Trent Balkey yesterday that he should have fired him

41
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 4>two weeks ago when they fired Doug Peterson, the head

42
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 4>coach the Jaguars. I don't know what their owner shot

43
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 4>Khan is thinking, it's just Befuneri going up there, going

44
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 4>on up there in Jacksonville. Why didn't they fire this

45
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.560
<v Speaker 4>guy when everybody said he should have been fired two

46
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 4>weeks ago. And maybe they could have had Ben Johnson,

47
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 4>Maybe they could have had Aaron Glenn, maybe they could

48
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.439
<v Speaker 4>have had Liam Cohen. And now they're scrambling to hire

49
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 4>a head coach up there because they wouldn't fire their

50
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 4>general manager.

51
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.639
<v Speaker 2>They failed to follow the simple rule that we repeat

52
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 2>on this ship. What must be done eventually boldog should.

53
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 5>Be done immediately.

54
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely so anyway, that's the Jaguars travails. And I've been

55
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 4>saying this for years now. Hire Tony Basselli, the Hall

56
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 4>of Fame player, as the general manager. The guy loves

57
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 4>the franchise, he knows the NFL. So hired Tony Boselli.

58
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.479
<v Speaker 5>And go from there. Anyway where what else we got? Oh?

59
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 4>You wanted the College Football National Championship rankings not good?

60
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 5>They weren't good. It was announced yesterday. Ratings. What did

61
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.719
<v Speaker 5>I say? Yeah? College football TV ratings not good?

62
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 4>Twenty two point one million viewers average for Michigan for

63
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry for Ohio State Notre Dame. That was down

64
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 4>twelve percent from last year.

65
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 5>When Michigan Michigan be last.

66
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 4>Year, I can't remember now anyway, it was down twelve

67
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 4>percent last Michigan beat Alabama last year. It was down

68
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 4>twelve percent from last year. And you had a marquee matchup,

69
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 4>you had, you had Ohio State Notre Dame, maybe the

70
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 4>two biggest brands in college football, and you're down twelve

71
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 4>percent from last year.

72
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Twenty two million. Don't don't get us for that's great

73
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 2>numbers for any most any show would take that if

74
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>they had numbers. Well, when it comes to an event

75
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.240
<v Speaker 2>like this, that's definitely soft.

76
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was overshadowed. There was so much other stuff

77
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 3>going on. I want to break it down a little

78
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 3>more for you that that twelve percent I believe that

79
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 3>comes out to almost three million viewers shaved off.

80
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:23.439
<v Speaker 5>It's a lot.

81
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and again, this was a marquee matchup. ESPN's blaming

82
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.160
<v Speaker 4>the fact that Ohio State jumped out to a big

83
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:32.439
<v Speaker 4>lead thirty one to seventy.

84
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 5>I think it's more than that. I think it's more

85
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:35.079
<v Speaker 5>than that.

86
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.120
<v Speaker 4>I you know, I think it's obviously overshadowed by the

87
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 4>NFL you mentioned overshadowed by Inauguration day layoffs take Yeah,

88
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 4>the playoffs take too long for crying out loud, and yeah,

89
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 4>I do think there was a lingering effect that fans

90
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 4>aren't sort of protesting where college football is headed right now.

91
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.720
<v Speaker 4>They hate pay for play, they hate any they hate

92
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 4>all of this stuff. I think they may be protested protesting.

93
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 2>They hate unless their team is reaping the benefits of

94
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:08.519
<v Speaker 2>it at the time.

95
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 5>Let's be honest, Well, how State fans don't hate it.

96
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 4>But I think in general college football fans are disenchanted

97
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 4>with their sport right now.

98
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Agree or disagree, I think there's an element of truth

99
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.439
<v Speaker 2>to that. It's I don't know if it's disappointed or

100
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 2>aggravation might even be a better term.

101
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, whatever you want to call it.

102
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.000
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you who else is aggravated right now, Miami

103
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.519
<v Speaker 4>Heat fans because Jimmy Butler, their star player, has been

104
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:37.519
<v Speaker 4>suspended from.

105
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 5>The team again. He misses a flight.

106
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 4>To Milwaukee and the Heat who he just came back

107
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.160
<v Speaker 4>from a seven game suspension. Now he's been suspended twice.

108
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.519
<v Speaker 4>Of course, he's trying to pout and malinger his way

109
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 4>out of town, like many NBA stars do, and the

110
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:02.600
<v Speaker 4>Heat are suspending him. I want to know where Adam Silver,

111
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 4>the NBA commissioner, is on this. This is an embarrassment

112
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.839
<v Speaker 4>to the league, and Silver is a whimp. He wants

113
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:11.879
<v Speaker 4>to be all buddy buddy with the players. He needs

114
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 4>to come out with a statement and say this sort

115
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:18.480
<v Speaker 4>of player behavior won't be tolerated. You can't just this

116
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 4>guy's making fifty million dollars this year to play professional basketball.

117
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 4>He needs to start acting like a professional instead of

118
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:26.160
<v Speaker 4>a spoiled brat.

119
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 3>Here's a question, how do you miss a flight where

120
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.240
<v Speaker 3>you're flying with the team like you and I commission.

121
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:33.160
<v Speaker 5>He's trying.

122
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.439
<v Speaker 4>He's trying to force his way out of town, and

123
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:37.480
<v Speaker 4>we saw it here in.

124
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 5>Orlando, Miami.

125
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Miami traffic's a bitch.

126
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 5>It is.

127
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Yeah, Orlando traffic's pretty heavy too. Palo's never missed

128
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 4>a flight. Franz Wagner's never missed a flight.

129
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:53.959
<v Speaker 2>But if you're running that team and you got to

130
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 2>go who clearly doesn't want to be there, what do

131
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 2>you do?

132
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.360
<v Speaker 4>Like, you gotta try of trading, but teams aren't gonna

133
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.759
<v Speaker 4>give you a lot because they know they know that

134
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 4>the Heat are desperate. So yeah, it's unfortunate that NBA

135
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.399
<v Speaker 4>players have this much power that they can, you know,

136
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:19.480
<v Speaker 4>essentially hold a team hostage, hold a fan base hostage,

137
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 4>and drive their value down so they can be traded.

138
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 5>I don't get it, all right, Magic or back home tonight?

139
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Got Portland coming in dog.

140
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:33.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, ne, obviously they need to win that. Portland's not

141
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.279
<v Speaker 4>a great team, and don't think the Fronds or Jalen

142
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.879
<v Speaker 4>Suggs will be playing tonight. So we'll see if the

143
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.120
<v Speaker 4>Magic can get up off the snide tonight. They really

144
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:45.199
<v Speaker 4>need to, that's for sure.
