1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:09,919
Speaker 1: This is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross ten on

2
00:00:09,919 --> 00:00:13,080
one of AH Town. Good morning, and welcome to a

3
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,960
Monday edition the Mount Thomas Showing. Ross. This is Sports

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:28,879
Talk seven ninety. They are the third hottest team in

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:42,439
the a f C. Yeah, Denver and tenth street, but

6
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:48,320
from the worst, from zero to three to congratulations, the

7
00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:52,079
Texans are going. Yes the postseason. There were people who

8
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,520
doubted him, who said they weren't going to the playoffs.

9
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,920
There were two of us in this room, and then

10
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,240
you're wrong. I didn't say that. I think you a

11
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:03,880
low key did not check Tate. Pull it up. I

12
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,640
can't go check the table. It's a month ago. Plus

13
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,400
our audioism is terrible. In no way you can check.

14
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:10,400
It only goes back thirty days these day. Yeah, that's right,

15
00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:15,319
kick it back to September is what it is. What

16
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:20,560
a I mean, what a peculiar night? Rewarding explain what

17
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,959
was so peculiar variety of things And this is in

18
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,760
no particular order. I we've all been watching the Chiefs

19
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,760
for basically eight or nine years. Own this league. Make

20
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:40,120
every fourth down conversion, make every incredible play, come up

21
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,159
with a big defensive standley necessary, but Basically, the Kansasy

22
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,159
Chiefs have become a magical team because of you know,

23
00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:50,359
a future Hall of Fame quarterback who, by the way,

24
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,439
played really well yesterday. His receivers letting down would be

25
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:59,319
an understatement, maybe m hm. I mean it was atrocious,

26
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:04,000
how bad they were, big drops and handing the ball

27
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:08,840
to the competition. Yes, that's number one, number two, and

28
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,000
Andy Reid, to his credit, fest up after the game

29
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:15,039
in a minute as much. But that was a fireable offense.

30
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,800
Trying to go for fourth down at the thirty one

31
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:23,800
yard line. Your team, your defense was giving the Texans

32
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,800
fits to the tune of minus two yards. Kick the

33
00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:31,759
ball and make c J. Strago eighty five yards. You

34
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,960
gift them at worst a field goal at worst, and

35
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:40,080
you eventually gave him a touchdown on the Goomawalle touchdown,

36
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,680
which all of us had on our fantasy board, which

37
00:02:41,719 --> 00:02:45,400
is really nice. I pluat gooble lineman, my starting fantasy lineup,

38
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,919
and look at he got from me a touchdown. No,

39
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,479
you didn't. You're right, nobody would have thought of that.

40
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,240
That's you're at a twenty five team league. It's true,

41
00:02:54,759 --> 00:03:00,400
that's number two, number three. As bad as a Texans

42
00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:03,520
offense was for seventy percent of the game, the good

43
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,680
thirty percent. There were some incredible throws that c. J.

44
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,520
Stroud made, and some incredible catches and some stuff that frankly,

45
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:17,960
Pat Mahomes probably was jealous of. Number four. Chris Jones

46
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,000
wanted to win that game more than anybody else in

47
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,240
that stadium yesterday, and he couldn't do it by himself.

48
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:26,439
He almost did. He tried his best. He tried his best,

49
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,800
and number five, you finally slayed the dragon. Not only

50
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:33,800
did you beat a team that you've had no success

51
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:38,599
against literally in that stadium over the years, but you

52
00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:41,879
knock them deep down the playoff ladder. You have them

53
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,639
questioning themselves, you have them questioning their coaches. Two of

54
00:03:45,719 --> 00:03:47,919
their key players decided not even to stick around and

55
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,840
talk to the media after the game, which is a

56
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,960
BS move. You had to talk to the media when

57
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,719
you're in good and you certainly gotta talk to him

58
00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:57,240
in bad. We're finding too many athletes in twenty twenty

59
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,520
five that are only doing it when things are good.

60
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,199
And number six and I think I went six defense

61
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:03,520
or why not?

62
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: Uh?

63
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,479
Speaker 1: Your Texans are going to the postseason, especially after what

64
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,599
happened to Daniel Jones and his achilles into fourteen pieces yesterday? Hmm.

65
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,520
You don't want to root for injuries, Matt, even though

66
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:17,480
you had, I think you have to the time. I'm

67
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,120
rooting for Oklahoma City vendor injuries. Call me a horrible person,

68
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,079
but I mean to me, that game yesterday played the

69
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,360
expectation just about. I mean, it was dominant Texans performance

70
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,160
and the offense giving you just enough. That's basically what

71
00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:33,560
we've been seeing them from them on this five game

72
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,480
winning streak. This defense is I've been saying it for

73
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:38,120
a couple of weeks now and I'll keep saying it's

74
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,160
super Bowl winning caliber defense. Yeah, this is the best

75
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:43,680
defense the Texans have ever had. But the Nick Keley

76
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:46,680
offense came back to play yesterday, and if not for

77
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,720
c jayas escapability and a couple of I mean, they're

78
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,839
the best plays in the game yesterday were not designed

79
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,480
by Nick Kelee.

80
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: It was c. J.

81
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:00,639
Speaker 1: Stroud on his own, avoiding pass rush, scrambling, making tough. Frankly,

82
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,920
a lot of throws that you would think would be

83
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,879
probably interception worthy they were not. They were caught. That's

84
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,079
what it takes to win and you have to have

85
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:12,720
things happen for you off schedule. That's everybody, and I

86
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:15,519
mean Nick Kayley, Yeah, he's not a football genius. He's

87
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,240
just not. He'd also doesn't have a whole lot of

88
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,279
work with I mean, whatdy Marks is a decent running back,

89
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,000
but he's not great. The offensive line was having some issues.

90
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,040
You mentioned Chris Jones was I mean as about as

91
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:28,160
game wrecking one man performance as I can remember in

92
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,680
a while. I mean, we've seen some others JJ Watt

93
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,240
or Miles Garrett whoever do that all into that level,

94
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,399
but basically, I mean behind the velvet rope of game

95
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,759
wrecking performances on a Sunday night, that was. That was

96
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:45,120
excellent from him, and it played out about how we felt.

97
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,040
I mean you you said twenty to sixteeneh yeh yeah,

98
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,000
twenty sixteen something like. To him, I said, I think

99
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:51,759
twenty three to eighteen. Like we all thought it was

100
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,120
gonna be. The Vegas total was low. We thought it

101
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,560
was gonna be a knack knockdown drag out. We would

102
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,160
presumed a one score game, and it was. It was

103
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:02,240
somewhat close to a one score game for the most

104
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:05,600
the majority of it that's Texans football. What I saw

105
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,800
last night. I wasn't surprised by much of any of it. No,

106
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,759
the whole scoring was on a surprise. The consecutive number

107
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,199
of incomplete passes that Pat Mahomes threw, which probably whether

108
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,399
what nine in a row at some point. Think when

109
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:21,040
you included interceptions, it was like something like that plus

110
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:23,959
his plus the interceptions, it was like the longest streak

111
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,839
of his career. So of those, I mean the lass

112
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,240
a iron t that was basically a punt. I mean

113
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,800
that was forty three yards in the air. So that's

114
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,480
the same thing. So I don't mean you can count that.

115
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,399
You can't if you want to. Eighty percent of those

116
00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:39,720
with a receiver's fault drop I mean drops Kelsey not

117
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:42,279
only drops a ball, but it hits the ball, hits

118
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:44,680
his helmet, and heyone's up being an interception. That doesn't

119
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,560
happen to the Kansas City Chiefs, you know, Dawber down

120
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,720
is a term you would use sometimes. They didn't look

121
00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:54,879
like they wanted to win that game yesterday, and if

122
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,720
Chris Jones willed them, they blitzed the hell out of

123
00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:00,800
the Texans in the third quarter and there was nothing

124
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,639
the Texans could do except for that occasional play that CJ.

125
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:06,399
Strau made running for his life. It was vintage Steve

126
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:10,360
Spagnola versus the Houston Texans. You you get like seven

127
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,600
seven eight guys at the line of scrimmage. They can't

128
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,920
figure out who's coming. It's loud and arrowhead, and then

129
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,759
you end up with two free runners over and over

130
00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:20,680
and over again. It was a tough to work with.

131
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: C J.

132
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: Straud did miss some easy throws, but he was under

133
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:26,959
a lot of duress. As way, Rice dropped Brown Kelsey

134
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:35,040
the unbelievably dumb fourth and one at the thirty one

135
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,160
yard line. I mean, you have to take advantage of

136
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,720
those breaks and give them credit. You had you the

137
00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:45,680
Texans did well depending on what models you look at.

138
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:45,879
Speaker 2: Matt.

139
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,319
Speaker 1: That's funny because it was unbelievable dumb and I know

140
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:52,399
you know it's coming, it's coming, but the metrics don't

141
00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:55,920
tell you everything. The vibe and I'm telling you Ross,

142
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,439
I apologize, but I will follow my sword on this.

143
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:02,079
The vibet Night was kicked the ball fifty yards and

144
00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:04,879
force a team that hadn't done Jack squat to go

145
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,120
eighty yards. Yeah, that was completely and again I'm not

146
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:10,439
and I like going for fourth down. I'm actually not

147
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:12,839
against it, and I'm not against the metric of it.

148
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,079
But as soon as that happened, I was sitting in

149
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:18,399
my office with my son watching the game, my oldest one,

150
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:20,959
and I said, if they don't convert this, the Texans

151
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,079
are going to score. And the juju of the game

152
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,480
completely flipped the second going forward and fourth down. I

153
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:29,480
get it, because you're down a touchdown and you're running

154
00:08:29,519 --> 00:08:32,679
out of time, so to speak. That early fourth down

155
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:38,240
call was criminal. And that's Andy Reid. That's a Super

156
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:45,919
Bowl winning quarterback, a coach. Let's see, it was ten,

157
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,399
they went up scoring a touchdown, making it seventeen ten.

158
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,600
That's the subsequent drive ten minutes. Yeah, thirty one. Well

159
00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:55,080
the number sego for it. The numbers are stupid in

160
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,960
that one, and absolutely well, it's just the counter argument

161
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,200
is if you can't get two yards, and how are

162
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,320
you going to score on this defense anyways, So you

163
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,519
have to you're kicking the ball to stop them, to

164
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,679
get the ball back to be basically where you are.

165
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,080
I take my chance, I have moment, And did you

166
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,919
not sense it? I mean, you did this the entire

167
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,279
momentum shift of the game. You're giving the detections at

168
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,519
worst case of fifty yard field goal, now grants outside.

169
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,080
It's cold but fair. Barans is one of the top

170
00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:29,840
ten kickers in the NFL. It's gonna make some of

171
00:09:29,879 --> 00:09:33,440
those worst case they score a field goal, it takes

172
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:36,039
one play to get them in the red zone where

173
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,159
it makes it an absolute chip shot and scoring a

174
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,159
touchdown with their third string running back. It was preposterous.

175
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:46,840
It wasn't preposterous, No, it was. It was completely properly.

176
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,840
It's not dumbsterous in this particular case. I think that's

177
00:09:50,919 --> 00:09:54,919
where Okay, I mean, I'm you're using hindsight. No, I'm not.

178
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,960
Immediately you got to come to my house. You live

179
00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:02,000
in South Nacadotians. Yeah, but it's only an hour.

180
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:02,279
Speaker 2: It's not.

181
00:10:02,919 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: No, it was a terrible, terrible and Andy Reid completely

182
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:09,080
admitted it after the game. I would like to read

183
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,159
you the quote. You have time, promote your Twitter account

184
00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:15,279
or Instagram. You can follow me at sports r V

185
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,320
and Instagram. That's it, Ingo Mornett, I got good pictures,

186
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,120
all right. I put the guys offensively in a tough

187
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,000
position with that fourth down. I was trying to stay

188
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,200
aggressive with it. I take full responsibility for that. I

189
00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:30,080
thought we could get it. It's important that you take

190
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,519
advantage of opportunities. In hindsight, yeah, it was wrong. I

191
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,600
messed that one up. That's a coach, that's an NFL

192
00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:37,639
head coach. Yeah, that's who made the decision to go

193
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:40,840
for it and it didn't work. I'm started video calling

194
00:10:40,879 --> 00:10:43,759
you and saying, I can't it wrong. You're going to

195
00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:45,360
be wrong more than you're gonna be right this time.

196
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:48,120
I'm right, ros I'm sometimes.

197
00:10:47,799 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 4: I at you.

198
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,039
Speaker 1: No, you're right. You had the vibe everybody. You guys

199
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,840
watched the game. It was ten to ten in the

200
00:10:53,879 --> 00:10:55,519
fourth corner. It's a close game, and he said he

201
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,080
wanted to be aggressive. But that's fine at the midfield

202
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:00,440
at the thirty one yard line, when you're basically guarantee

203
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,600
the Texans points. That was not smart in a low

204
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,960
scoring game. That's even another point in a low scoring

205
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,679
game where a field goal could make a difference. I

206
00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:08,879
think you don't do that. It's it was stupid, and

207
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,120
he admitted it, and everybody, I mean, he con who

208
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,279
loves can see more than life, just was ripping the

209
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:18,840
crap out of the colcause the terrible's what the announcers do.

210
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,600
And that's okay. I'm okay with the tall and it's

211
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,080
all right because this was happened. I don't know how

212
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:26,600
many years ago was it when Bill Belichick went for

213
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,879
a fourth down and everybody was crushing him. And it's

214
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:32,600
it's been trending in the right direction. It has, and

215
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,279
I know America is not ready for this. I'm okay

216
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,919
because I watched the Detroit Lions, Ryans whatever the other day.

217
00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:41,440
Detroit Lions are getting crushed by Dan Campbell, are getting

218
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,559
crushed because they they're missing fourth downs and people are

219
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,799
calling them calling the games, and that's okay. History will

220
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,720
prove me right on this, and I'm okay with that.

221
00:11:49,879 --> 00:11:52,159
It's moving forward. We're not gonna go to more punts.

222
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,840
We're gonna punt the ball when you can't when the

223
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:57,519
Texans offense can't move it, You're gonna punt the ball.

224
00:11:57,759 --> 00:12:00,559
In that particular case, if it's the forty five fifty,

225
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,159
I probably can give you on that one, but in

226
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,320
this particular case, I can't. I just can that one.

227
00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:05,840
All right. We got a lot to get to today.

228
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,080
Texans be the chiefs a lot of listing on that

229
00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:14,120
college football playoff. Boy, that was it was a really

230
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,519
weird eighteen hours. Would you agree about what people thought

231
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:19,480
about the poll going in after the games were compluted

232
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:21,519
on Saturday and how people felt at about eleven fifteen

233
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,919
on Sunday, Actually more like eleven thirty because he spink

234
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,799
of dragging, and on and on and on. We'll talk

235
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,840
about that winter meetings underway. We have to tell the truth.

236
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:32,559
Coming up at eleven thirty today, and my cougars are

237
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:37,759
going to knock off LSU in the Texas Bowl. I

238
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,039
wonder what that, Oh wonder about that stadium is gonna

239
00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:42,759
look like? Oh, it's gonna be eighty twenty LSU. Why

240
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,799
because LSU fans travel big. Where's the game in Houston?

241
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 4: Okay?

242
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: Who's playing there? Houston? Okay? I mean I would like

243
00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:56,720
big twelve football, let's go. I'd like it at your stadium.

244
00:12:56,799 --> 00:12:58,879
I like twenty. I like it to be fifty. Come on,

245
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,600
that's embarrassing. I speak the truth on the show about

246
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:06,559
four downs and crowd size ted sixty to the bat

247
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,159
Tabas showould all seven one three, two one two five

248
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:14,240
seven ninety. We would love for you guys that join

249
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,559
us today, and ladies for that matter, seven one three

250
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,039
two one two five seven ninety seven one three two

251
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,200
one two five seven ninety A lot to get to today,

252
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,279
A lot of the Texans, a lot on now what

253
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,480
is a not nearly as congested AFC wild Card race,

254
00:13:30,639 --> 00:13:33,879
and for that matter, the division. How the Texans could

255
00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:37,360
win the AFC South, although I think Jacksonville schedule is

256
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,720
significantly easier than the Texans, although Texas isn't hardy either.

257
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,840
The difficult part of Jacksonville schedule, if I recall correctly,

258
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,320
was playing the Colts twice and well, yeah, well they've

259
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,320
got them, and Daniel Jones has has died. I think

260
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,600
they've got one Denver game and then the other three

261
00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:53,679
are a piece of cakes, is what I get. And

262
00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:56,519
the Texans are frankly now. The only game that's left

263
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,840
on their schedule that's of challenge is the game at

264
00:13:58,879 --> 00:14:01,480
the Chargers. But that's it. I mean, well, justin Herbert

265
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,879
being uniformed. By that point, I mean, he's questionable going

266
00:14:03,919 --> 00:14:08,720
into tonight's game against Philadelphia, like the Chargers are. I mean,

267
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,600
sofi stady. Hell, if you're a Texan fan, go there

268
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,519
Christmas week, you can get a ticket for me. You

269
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,200
could be among thousand of your favorite fans there. I

270
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,000
mean you mean probably sixty Texans fans. Yeah, the Texans

271
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,600
like to be in a one score game no matter

272
00:14:23,679 --> 00:14:26,600
who they're playing, So any of these games I will

273
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:29,240
say any well, maybe the Raiders are the least losable,

274
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:32,200
the least losible. That's a guy I like that term.

275
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,200
What is the least losible of the group? Arizona's mailed

276
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,320
it in the Raiders suck Indianapolis. I mean the backup quarterback.

277
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,159
I honestly ross and I'm not I give myself a

278
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,279
B minus on backup quarterbacks. The guy that was throwing

279
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,120
yesterday for the Colts, I had no idea who it was,

280
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,720
Uh Leonard or Leonard? Yeah? From is it Leonard Skinner?

281
00:14:53,799 --> 00:14:58,039
Jud Jonathan's Is that who it is? Leonard?

282
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 5: You know? What?

283
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: What do you got going on? Back the what's the

284
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,480
music going on? Back there? We we normally can see you,

285
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:05,879
but right in Leonard, right in audio plan back here

286
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:07,519
on my lots up. That's fine. I don't know what

287
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,039
you'll get you on some snapchats going on a little

288
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,879
at you're working on your TikTok's back there by the way.

289
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,039
By the way, I am so proud of you. Wen,

290
00:15:16,759 --> 00:15:19,399
We're twenty three minutes into the show, and on the

291
00:15:19,559 --> 00:15:21,440
previous to tell the truth, I said the text, the

292
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,799
Chiefs got a legitimate shot of run into the AFC Championship.

293
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:27,320
How did you go twenty four minutes in the show

294
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,440
without razing me about what happened last night compared to

295
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,159
where they are right now? So this is the game plan.

296
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,360
She's hater one. He's slow playing the game plan. I

297
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,519
was like, exactly, Russ, I'm slow playing. I was like,

298
00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:38,279
you know what, I'm gonna wait to tell the truth

299
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:40,279
and then I'm gonna do it. Then I'm gonna get

300
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,440
he's letting. He's let a slow boil, by the way,

301
00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:47,519
all for I to tell the truth or college related

302
00:15:47,559 --> 00:15:50,399
because I did him yesterday. So I didn't I didn't

303
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:55,679
have the Texans game in mind there. But yeah, uh

304
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,600
so uh yeah uh it was. And I want to

305
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:02,120
go to I want to go to something. And look,

306
00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:05,559
everybody has an opinion about everything, and if you don't

307
00:16:05,559 --> 00:16:07,039
have an opinion, but I think it's not really worth

308
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,440
having a conversation with you about it. I mean So

309
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,679
the Collinsworth there are a lot of people that don't

310
00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:16,960
like him because he's not rooting for your team. It's

311
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,080
very Joe buck esque. If he's talking good about your team,

312
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,759
you like him. But if he's not talking about your

313
00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:25,159
team endlessly, you think he hates your team, and thus

314
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,519
you hate him. The reality is this, Chris Collinsworth in

315
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,480
the last ten years has done more Chiefs games than

316
00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:35,440
anybody else out there. Okay, and by the way, when

317
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,159
he does Chiefs games ROSSI, they win typically. Yes, they've

318
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,720
been very good. So when Chris Collinsworth does the best

319
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:46,120
game of the week, usually against they don't put Kansasity

320
00:16:46,159 --> 00:16:48,440
on against Miami on Sunday Night football. They don't put

321
00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:50,919
Kansas City on against the Raiders. They put him against

322
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,120
the Buffalos, the Cincinnatis, the Houston's for that matter. So

323
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,559
you're going great team versus pretty good team, and Kansas

324
00:16:59,559 --> 00:17:02,000
City has want a boatload of games with Pat Mahomes

325
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,160
with a Hall of Fame career. My guess is, if

326
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,079
Pat wanted to quit tomorrow, he's in the Hall of Fame.

327
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,119
He right the time Super Bowl champion three times, Sam three.

328
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:13,200
I mean, that's how many straight AFC championship games? Are

329
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,880
they going to I don't remember, or something like that.

330
00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:21,319
So folks just logically think, for a second, he's going

331
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,160
to be braggadocious about Pat Mahomes because he's seen Pat

332
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:28,599
at his greatest. And I thought yesterday and again, I

333
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,960
don't have an opinion about Chris one way or the other.

334
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,359
I think he's okay. I think he's fine. He's not offensive.

335
00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:39,000
I'm not offended by him. But when you watched as

336
00:17:39,079 --> 00:17:41,680
much goodness as he has, he's naturally going to signe

337
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,640
with man, what a throw or what a play? But

338
00:17:43,799 --> 00:17:47,279
I thought yesterday he was exemplary of the Texans defense

339
00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:49,720
a lot. He was exemplary of some of the catches

340
00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:52,039
that were made. He was foaming at the mouth over

341
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,839
Jalen Petrie and not only the deflection but the interception.

342
00:17:56,279 --> 00:17:58,920
He talked about how Andy reachul have gone for that

343
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,599
fourth down? He talked about, I mean, there was a

344
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,920
lot of things. Is it a pro in some respects?

345
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,960
Cannady broadcast yes, because human nature says so, because he's

346
00:18:08,079 --> 00:18:11,599
only seen the amazingness that is Cancy Chiefs football, and

347
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,519
that's irritating. I get it to people. I understand what's irritating.

348
00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:17,400
I was not offended by it, but remember again, there

349
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,519
are things that I hear on television radio that offend

350
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:21,640
me that may not offend you. So it's to each

351
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:24,400
his own. Yeah, I was watching at a sports bar,

352
00:18:24,519 --> 00:18:26,039
so I didn't really catch a whole lot of it.

353
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,640
It didn't seem like he was out of line. People

354
00:18:28,759 --> 00:18:31,920
like to crush Chris Collinsworth, and I think the detractors

355
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,960
are just louder than the most. I think it's one

356
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,559
of those scenarios where it's a loud minority that hate

357
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,279
Chris Collinsworth until he's the worst. I think, well, it's

358
00:18:41,279 --> 00:18:43,200
like what I mean, we have. There are the Lightning

359
00:18:43,279 --> 00:18:45,920
Rods of sports. There's the stephen A. Smith that people hate.

360
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,640
There's the Skip Bayless when he used to do his show.

361
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,200
I mean, when you are on a platform as high

362
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,400
as it is, you're going to have the fans and detractors.

363
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,000
But I don't think, yeah, Chris collins Worth is not

364
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,640
like some hot take machine though. I think he just

365
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,640
didn't talk about He talked about how much he appreciated

366
00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:05,519
Pat Mahomes, probably more than a Texan fan wanted to hear.

367
00:19:05,599 --> 00:19:08,400
During the course of the broadcast. Yeah, I think people

368
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,680
were upset. Did he sound like he was loving on

369
00:19:10,759 --> 00:19:13,279
Pat Mahomes for getting a face his face mask pulled?

370
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,559
Which that was a very like tug by the way.

371
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,640
But anyways, and you know, and he called out the

372
00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:26,960
Texans offensive line who was the guy? Which somebody was bad.

373
00:19:28,759 --> 00:19:31,200
He had a horrible night by the way. Yeah, Daniel oh,

374
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,720
Daniel Hunter was non existent last night against the third

375
00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:36,680
game against the third team offensive lineman. I mean, there

376
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:42,240
was a few things like that, But to me, he

377
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,599
doesn't bother me like I mean, I just I it

378
00:19:44,759 --> 00:19:48,039
was instead of spending time focusing on how much this

379
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,200
Texas team was going to Kansas City and playing Mono

380
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,920
mona with the defending AFC champions, it was let's his

381
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,680
bag on Chris collinsil for three hours? It was Yeah,

382
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,119
couldn't hear? I saw a lot of it on the

383
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:58,720
Twitter verse.

384
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:02,559
Speaker 3: It is what it is.

385
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he does a good job. I

386
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,480
don't think he's terrible. I don't think he's amazing. Like

387
00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:08,559
who's your and you've you've never had an opinion and

388
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,319
that's I'm wrong on this. You've never had like, man,

389
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:12,640
you've never come to me and said, hey man, that

390
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:16,039
person who do the color analysis was amazing. I don't

391
00:20:16,039 --> 00:20:19,680
know who is the best, right Treegman probably pound for

392
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,160
pound is as good as it gets. And he was good,

393
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,359
and he was Kirk and Troy was considered a guy

394
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,799
that was very early in his broadcast crew whenever critical

395
00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:30,960
of athletes, because he was fresh off the football fish.

396
00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:34,279
JJ Watt's goods early Tony Romo. I will say early

397
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:36,759
Tony Romo. I probably would say I would, I would

398
00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:40,400
talk about how great he was. Yeah, I'm just there

399
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:43,240
isn't anybody calling a game now. There's a couple of

400
00:20:43,279 --> 00:20:45,200
guys in the lower tier games that I just don't

401
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,480
find very interesting. But that's in general audience wouldn't care

402
00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:51,240
who those people are. I'm trying to think of who

403
00:20:51,279 --> 00:21:01,240
else he's Charles Davis has been decent. Yeah, yeah, I

404
00:21:01,279 --> 00:21:04,200
mean it's fine. I mean they're fine. Yeah, they're they're

405
00:21:04,599 --> 00:21:07,599
Johnson right. Let me tell you something. They get cute.

406
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,200
They get tested by networks all the time, and if

407
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,319
the networks people people follow they don't like them, they

408
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,160
take them off the games. I think I think J. J.

409
00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:16,640
Watt might be my favorite right now. He's putting the

410
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,559
work in, like Tony Roman was putting the work in.

411
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,680
Then he got a big eighteen million dollars deal. He's like, hey,

412
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,960
we're good. He's good. I tell you of courses in

413
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,200
the area. I like Tom Brady.

414
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:24,839
Speaker 5: I do.

415
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's getting better. I do. He was awful at first,

416
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,079
way too stiff, but he but he's loosened up. He's

417
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,599
loosened up his stiffness. So you're saying it's stiff for

418
00:21:36,599 --> 00:21:38,960
a while, then eventually loosens up. Yes, well he was.

419
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,559
Tom Brady was okay, thank you. Ten thirty on Sports

420
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,960
Talk seven, Let's get to the what had America and

421
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:50,319
a tizzy the college football playoff would come back. Well,

422
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,759
if you're a Texan fan, we're here five in a row, baby,

423
00:21:54,799 --> 00:21:57,160
let's en five a row. Let's go seven one three, two,

424
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,519
one two, five seven nine has predicted by both of us. Yeah,

425
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,839
and I was I was so hesitant to make a prediction.

426
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,960
Mm hmm, because I'm so bad at you. I think

427
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,880
you were trying to reverse jinks. I got my eye

428
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,440
on you. You're trying to reverse Jinkes. But it's okay,

429
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,839
And you don't know the NXU works. You don't know

430
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,759
that prediction works. I was on the record as I

431
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,279
back to back on the road upsets that I've called

432
00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:21,480
because I'm the Texans insider. Seven one three two one

433
00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:27,000
two five is seven ninety two. All right. I'd rather

434
00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:32,200
hick Chris's music goodness or read this song and don't

435
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,599
sing it. Here comes three to two one. Just do it,

436
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,880
Just do it. And there's already arguing about Andy Reid's

437
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,160
fourth down calling now or you're gonna play sing this?

438
00:22:42,519 --> 00:22:44,920
The show couldn't go any worse? Can Please? Can I

439
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,039
please talk to a Texan fan? I mean, I beg.

440
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,640
I shouldn't say beg. We'd love to mean. Your squad's

441
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,640
won five in a row. They're going to the playoffs.

442
00:22:53,319 --> 00:22:56,200
Indianapolis is Gonzo done? They got beat up badly by

443
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,200
the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday. The Chiefs you put them out

444
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:06,279
to pasture. Probably it's the rest of their schedule, Arizona Raiders.

445
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,480
Oh no, some of the Chiefs. Oh, I can look

446
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,039
it up. I was gonna say, man, you know the

447
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,599
rest of the Chiefs scheduled, But no, No. I thought

448
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:16,240
the Chiefs were good. I think they were that good.

449
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,680
Home for the Chargers at the Titans home for the

450
00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:26,319
Broncos at the Raiders. Two and two with the worst

451
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,559
three and one puts them, what at nine and eight?

452
00:23:30,839 --> 00:23:36,640
That's not enough. No, they're they're just not good enough. No,

453
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,119
not three and one puts them at Yeah, nine and eight,

454
00:23:40,079 --> 00:23:44,160
not good enough, not good enough. You did it, Houston,

455
00:23:44,279 --> 00:23:46,839
You guys did it. Not you in theory, but in

456
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:47,400
your spirits.

457
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 6: We did it.

458
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: I mean, they just weren't the chiefs of old. They

459
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,400
just aren't the chiefs of all? Is there a lot

460
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:08,279
of dust in the control room? The chiefs. They're looking

461
00:24:08,319 --> 00:24:11,759
pretty fraudulent right now. And Chiefs hater number one, Jonathan Allen,

462
00:24:12,279 --> 00:24:14,119
you have been crazy. They're on a two game losing streak,

463
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:20,880
right Yeah, they've lost four of the last five. That

464
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,440
ladies and gentlemen, we eye witnessed. I'm television. That's it

465
00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:30,319
for them. I mean, they're not technically done. It would

466
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,039
have to take a lot of working with the teams

467
00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:34,279
in front. And they're losing tab breakers now on this.

468
00:24:36,079 --> 00:24:39,079
But you tell me that that Rashid Rice wanted to

469
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,920
win that game yesterday. I think he did. I mean, yeah,

470
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,920
I guess he did. But it's about the way they

471
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,680
got a little they got Texans got a little bit

472
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,240
lucky with all the drops and with Travis Kelsey handing

473
00:24:50,279 --> 00:24:53,359
them the ball, yeah, and them not being able to

474
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:58,440
convert any of their fourth downs. But they also went

475
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,720
out there, and partly I also did the credit of

476
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,920
the defense. I mean, when you have a tough defense,

477
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,599
you tend to make some mistakes. But when there was

478
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,720
one catch, help me out and who I forgot who

479
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:10,799
it was over the middle of the field. That was

480
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,640
just a flat out drop. I mean there were several drops,

481
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,519
help me out who it was it and again it

482
00:25:16,599 --> 00:25:20,240
was a Hollywood Brown had one I can't remember, definitely

483
00:25:20,319 --> 00:25:23,400
dropped the couple. Kelsey literally handed the ball to Aziz

484
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,519
al Shah ear But that was a nice play. I mean,

485
00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:28,240
Jalen Pecher earned that pick that he got. Can I

486
00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:31,799
tell you when I brought this up on Twitter, I'm

487
00:25:31,839 --> 00:25:35,400
obsessed with Jalen Petrie's helmet. Oh the Guardian cap. Why

488
00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:40,119
it's big and fluffy. Yeah, he got a concussion and

489
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,000
now he's been wearing the Guardian cap. I mean robyo

490
00:25:42,079 --> 00:25:44,200
Dabs has been wearing it. Steve Young used to wear

491
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,759
it a long time ago. It's it well it's a

492
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:49,160
it's different. It's a cap over the helmet. But I

493
00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:52,160
but I love it. Would you get that from me

494
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,200
for Christmas? You want a guardian cap?

495
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 4: Yes?

496
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: Okay. It makes the helmet look twice as big. Yes.

497
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,519
And it made it look like the Great Kazoo from

498
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:02,920
the fund Stone. And there are some people who disagree

499
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,960
on whether or not has any impact as how helpful

500
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,839
it is. But yeah, he came back from his concussion.

501
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,480
He's wearing a guarding cap. Good for him. It just

502
00:26:14,599 --> 00:26:17,640
looks fantastic. I want him to make more players. The

503
00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:20,079
tip drill then followed up with an interception on the

504
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:23,079
same play. I mean, look, Jalen Peatrie's never gonna make

505
00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:25,039
get known as a great in coverage guy. He can

506
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,640
hit hard, but he's not known as a coverage guy.

507
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,519
That was one hell of a catch up, was a

508
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:33,640
great play. He's been one of the best safeties in football.

509
00:26:34,079 --> 00:26:37,240
And then that Rashi Rice hit where he knocked him.

510
00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:40,079
I think somebody said he knocked the sonic rings out

511
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,400
of him. That's what he did to Rashi Rice. I

512
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,839
mean he sent him flying, clean, legal hit, flying, all

513
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,680
hits on both sides. Swarm. That is Texans football last night.

514
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,680
That is the defense that can win you a Super

515
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,039
Bowl if you get enough from your offense. I'm worried

516
00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:02,279
about wood he marks he's just doesn't look like he's

517
00:27:02,319 --> 00:27:05,039
running that well. And unless Lessen with the rib injury,

518
00:27:05,079 --> 00:27:06,839
what he markus lesson three yards to carry. I mean,

519
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,079
that's that's tough. You have to get something out of

520
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,839
your running game, and you're not getting it. He had

521
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,839
some nice runs, but I mean it's like dariyu oh,

522
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,039
Dario gunbawalle. How long is Chubb gonna be out? I'm

523
00:27:19,079 --> 00:27:24,359
worried about the run game big time. I Mean, the

524
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:31,079
reality is this the defense. Tell me if this is

525
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,920
too hottyh hot of a take. The defense cannot surrender

526
00:27:36,079 --> 00:27:38,200
more than twenty one points per game at any point

527
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,799
between now and in the year. They're gonna give up points.

528
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,519
Defense is due, it's human, it's you got to hold them.

529
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,359
I mean, the Texans point totals the last several weeks

530
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,759
twenty twenty, twenty three, sixteen, and then thirty six against

531
00:27:49,759 --> 00:27:52,079
the Jaguars with Davis Mills. That was an aberration, But

532
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,240
that's that's my You know, as wide open as the

533
00:27:58,319 --> 00:28:03,440
AFC playoffs are, you your defense. Look, I'm giving you

534
00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:05,599
no great breaking news in this. The defense is gonna

535
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,000
have to carry you, but it's gonna have to be

536
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,279
carried to the level that I even think the two

537
00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:13,559
thousand Baltimore Ravens would be jealous of. I don't The

538
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,039
Texans offense can't put up twenty four points in a game,

539
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,599
and if they do, it's probably because of either a

540
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,920
special teams or a defensive touchdown. They're gonna have to

541
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,359
get it together for sure. I mean that we've seen

542
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,480
we've seen flashes, we've seen them look good, we've seen

543
00:28:27,519 --> 00:28:31,680
them make some plays, but it's it's just not enough.

544
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,799
And we're really only asking for like I mean, if

545
00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:36,960
you go from twenty points a game to twenty seven

546
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
points per game, that's huge, right, but it's one score.

547
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,839
We're asking for, like one more touchdown a game. Well,

548
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,079
we're asking for some red zone efficiency, yes, and it's

549
00:28:46,119 --> 00:28:49,799
getting over but it's still too many little aggressiveness from

550
00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:51,759
your coach. Oh, how do you want to explain that

551
00:28:51,799 --> 00:28:55,559
first half again? At the end, I mean, just uh,

552
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,720
I don't know. I mean, I just felt like it

553
00:29:01,839 --> 00:29:03,920
was an uber conservative way to in the first half. Again,

554
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,799
I mean but that's who he is, That's who Demiko is.

555
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,880
He's not going to and you know, yeah, the the

556
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,599
offense to me, I mean if and when they lose,

557
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,599
if they do, it's we're going to come back on

558
00:29:16,599 --> 00:29:18,920
the Monday after and go, Hey, the Texans just could

559
00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:21,480
never get anything mustered offensively. And this is even with c. J.

560
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:26,119
Stroud making some incredible, hard to believe passes and catches.

561
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,759
He makes insane throws four or five times a game,

562
00:29:30,079 --> 00:29:31,640
Like you say, this is a guy to build a

563
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,880
franchise around. And then he misses a couple of throws. Yep.

564
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,880
The one to Christian Kirk that was like a hot

565
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,319
flight of shadow center field was on a great throw,

566
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,000
even along one a Nico Collins was slightly underthrown, but

567
00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:44,839
I mean it was I mean a fifty three yards,

568
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,799
so I mean undrow. Reality is the yard down the field.

569
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:54,160
It's a really good it's a really exemplary defense that

570
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:56,160
might have a chance to be just good enough to

571
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,599
get all the way because of the fact that the

572
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,880
AFC is so up for grabs. The AFC is a

573
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,039
I'm not scared of anybody in the AFC. I'm not

574
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,519
even the way Jacksonville disposed of the Colt yesterday.

575
00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 3: They don't.

576
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,079
Speaker 1: Does a full Jacksonville stadium make you worry about going

577
00:30:10,079 --> 00:30:13,319
to Jacksonville beating the Jaguars, No, I'm not. Yeah, I'm

578
00:30:13,359 --> 00:30:15,720
not saying that the Broncos, the Broncos and the Chiefs

579
00:30:15,759 --> 00:30:18,519
would be favored against the Texans. But I don't think

580
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:20,119
he would be huge and it's not gonna be ten

581
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,640
points or even seven points. The reality is this Juss

582
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,519
can hang with anybody. You played in twenty degree weather

583
00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:26,519
yesterday in Kansas City. So the guys can go to

584
00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:29,799
New England and in Denver and win in playing cold weather. Now,

585
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,279
are their defenses of those two teams better than what

586
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,839
the Chiefs are? Absolutely? Play the under in both of

587
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,480
those games. I mean Broncos Texans was eighteen to fifteen.

588
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:41,680
That's what it's gonna be. I think. So you have

589
00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:43,279
we're gonna have to hold on for dear life and

590
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,599
hope that's something from the off and again, or maybe

591
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,160
just pray for a defensive or a special team touchdown.

592
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,039
I think I'm most scared of the Patriots because of

593
00:30:50,039 --> 00:30:54,400
their defense, and then Drake May's running ability could possibly

594
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,640
put some problems for the tech. The reality is, I

595
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,519
don't know how much of that since any Buffalo game

596
00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:02,319
you saw yesterday snow and in Buffalo not pretty nuch.

597
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,519
Buffalo is gonna be the wild Cards, so that's you're

598
00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:06,680
gonna have to see some things who arounds yeah on

599
00:31:06,759 --> 00:31:10,000
the on the playoff ladder. But the reality is Buffalo's

600
00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:12,359
really good at home. They just are. And Josh Allen

601
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,880
was fantastic yesterday. Their defense not great, and that's Joe

602
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,359
Barrow got to pick six gifted do them. I mean that, man,

603
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,480
the Biggles cough that game up too. I mean, Josh

604
00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:25,480
Allen was great and he made plays, but the Bengals

605
00:31:25,519 --> 00:31:29,440
also choked hard. Yeah all right, uh okay, CFP, let's

606
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,400
get to what the drama that was yesterday in a

607
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,839
moment ten forty four on Sports Talk seven on East.

608
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:40,160
All right, so I was in Dallas and Rockets lost

609
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,680
the Mavericks and that wasn't fun. But I got in

610
00:31:42,759 --> 00:31:45,279
the in the bus and watched the overtime of the

611
00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:47,759
Duke versus Virginia a CC game, which was very very

612
00:31:47,799 --> 00:31:50,599
good and Duke wanted and if congratulations they're the a

613
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,680
SEC champions and for that they get a ball game

614
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,440
out of it. Not a good one, but they did one.

615
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,759
Man's just dust their record. Good job champions. So then

616
00:31:57,759 --> 00:32:05,240
everybody is arguing about there are three teams for two spots, Alabama,

617
00:32:05,359 --> 00:32:09,720
Notre Dame in Miami. Alabama looked terrible in their SEC

618
00:32:09,839 --> 00:32:11,920
championship game. By the way, the Big twelve championship game

619
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,400
was Losyton. There was it was that Duke Virginia game one,

620
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,400
and I didn't watch in the Indiana Ohio state game

621
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,880
because I can only watch one thing at a time,

622
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,200
but that came down missal Yeah, it was gonna have

623
00:32:20,279 --> 00:32:24,039
a little scoring game. So the argument was, okay, so

624
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,960
did Alabama do an do so poorly that they may

625
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:33,720
get bumped out? So the three schools went to bed.

626
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,920
Alabama's going where the mighty SEC we were in because

627
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,880
that's who we are. Notre Dame's gonna be thinking, well,

628
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,000
we're good because we were higher ranked than Miami in

629
00:32:43,039 --> 00:32:47,240
the last CFP ranking last Tuesday, and Miami's gotta be like,

630
00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:49,880
uh oh, we're screwed. Is that would that? Would that

631
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,200
be the general consensus? How you thought you saw it

632
00:32:52,319 --> 00:32:55,920
going in? Uh? No, because the they they gave a

633
00:32:56,079 --> 00:32:58,279
hint I was actually talking about this this weekend with

634
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,559
some people. They in their little press release or after

635
00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:05,160
whatever interview, they said, head to head could come to

636
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,519
endto play if teams are back to back, if they're

637
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:10,720
closer together, And that's okay. That was the foreshadowing, the

638
00:33:10,799 --> 00:33:14,039
foreshadowing that Miami would would pass Notre Dame if they

639
00:33:14,039 --> 00:33:16,119
were next to each other, which is exactly what happened.

640
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,920
So I guess the question that I would ask is

641
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,000
why didn't they think about that last Tuesday? Because they

642
00:33:23,079 --> 00:33:25,240
weren't back to back. There was a BYU is in

643
00:33:25,319 --> 00:33:28,200
betwidged in between them. My okay, I don't know. My

644
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,720
thought is if I'm on Notre Dame site and I

645
00:33:30,839 --> 00:33:33,640
see that I'm above Miami, I didn't do anything. I

646
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,559
didn't play a game. Miami didn't play a game. Nobody

647
00:33:36,599 --> 00:33:42,279
could have affected their resume since last Tuesday, but it did,

648
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,000
and Miami jump Notre Dame. Notre Dame is out, and

649
00:33:45,079 --> 00:33:46,880
Notre Dame said, not only are we not going to

650
00:33:47,119 --> 00:33:49,480
We're happy. I'mhappy about this. We're calling this a joke

651
00:33:49,519 --> 00:33:51,039
of a system. We're not going to play in a

652
00:33:51,039 --> 00:33:54,480
bowl game. Yes, Men's like, fine, do what you want.

653
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,880
Mess several million dollars you're missing out on because you

654
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,720
don't split it with anybody when you get the bowl money. Yeah,

655
00:34:00,839 --> 00:34:03,000
everybody when you're in a conference used put the ball

656
00:34:03,039 --> 00:34:05,079
money up, and plus you get all the extra practices,

657
00:34:05,119 --> 00:34:06,960
which people talk about that being a big benefit of you.

658
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,639
Ross that used me a big deal until kids just paying.

659
00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:13,960
Nobody's practicing. Everybody's in the portal anyway, so you don't

660
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,480
have anybody to practice with. So let me give you

661
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:20,320
a variety of things to think about here just for

662
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,679
a second. Before we get to the tap, I will

663
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,159
have to tell the truth coming up at eleven thirty,

664
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:24,360
So I don't want to give away too much because

665
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,960
there's gonna be a lie amongst my four truths. My

666
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:31,360
fourth takes Okay, why don't we get rid of the

667
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,719
every Tuesday get together and just like the Incibelly tournament,

668
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,519
we have to kind of guess and have bracketology. Why

669
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,440
why do we need to do the hour shows? You

670
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,679
think it's money on TV TV, get its sponsored, but

671
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,880
why does it build interest? But why doesn't basketball do that?

672
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,599
Though they probably I bet you not not gonna say

673
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:52,400
I bet you, but I would I wouldn't be surprised

674
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,280
they did at some point because we've gone for decades

675
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,119
and decades and decade. Make a show about it. You

676
00:34:57,199 --> 00:35:01,320
can get it sponsored, you can up interest because then oh,

677
00:35:01,519 --> 00:35:04,599
team fourteen has a chance to be to upset teen

678
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,920
ten this week, and it drums up a little bit

679
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,440
of interest in your sport. I think it's a good

680
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,960
idea overall. I mean, I don't sit there and watch it.

681
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,280
I would say, no, wait till they come out. If

682
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,840
the College Football Committee wants mental health, they get rid

683
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,199
of the show. But the ESPN's like, wait a minute,

684
00:35:19,199 --> 00:35:21,559
when we're paying for this, shut up mental health. They

685
00:35:21,559 --> 00:35:24,119
don't care about that. In America, well, I'm just saying

686
00:35:24,159 --> 00:35:27,000
that you would not have to worry about Notre Dame

687
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:29,519
going what the hell are you doing? You had us

688
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:32,679
ranked above Miami just a handful of days ago, and

689
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,840
then they jumped us for poor CUIs right. That's what

690
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,639
I'm saying is that if you don't give us a

691
00:35:38,679 --> 00:35:41,800
little tease, we don't know what to expect. So that,

692
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,320
I mean, that's the first thing I'm thinking about is

693
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,880
get rid of the Tuesday shows, which even Kirk Kerbstrey

694
00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:48,159
on Game Day said Saturday It's like, maybe we should

695
00:35:48,159 --> 00:35:50,519
stop doing those because I were doing this pissing people

696
00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:53,079
off and getting people to talk about college football.

697
00:35:53,159 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

698
00:35:53,519 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: Number two, do we start putting more computers into this thing? Yes, yes, yes, yes,

699
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:01,199
I know we hate I know we had it. The

700
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,239
computers are unbiased, the computers are uncaring. But I'm curious

701
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,559
if we went back and looked at the BCS when

702
00:36:07,599 --> 00:36:11,159
it was computer driven, did we complain Well, I know

703
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,039
for a fact we complain about human element. I know

704
00:36:13,119 --> 00:36:14,719
we did. But yes, maybe you just can't have the

705
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,920
best of both worlds that if you go strictly computers,

706
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,800
you're worried about the human element. If you go about computers,

707
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,679
if you go human element, you go, well, you don't

708
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:25,000
you've got human element involved. So it feels like to me,

709
00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:28,039
we're going to get the computers, probably more involved than

710
00:36:28,079 --> 00:36:31,440
maybe ever before. I think you should. They should get

711
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,239
a vote. So let me just tell you as I

712
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,079
saw it, Yester. And again I don't have a dog

713
00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:39,599
in this fight. I thought it probably gathered too much

714
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,840
national attention because look, we're gonna be pissed off for

715
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,079
two days, Rossie, and then we're gonna think about the games, right,

716
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,079
mm hmm. All my aggie buddies are thinking about how

717
00:36:47,079 --> 00:36:49,239
they're gonna get tickets and how they're gonna spend money.

718
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,800
They're the biggest conundrum is for people that are that

719
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,880
are fans of these schools, is do you skip the

720
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,280
first round games? Do you skip the second round games?

721
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,199
Because you want to play? You want to go to

722
00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,960
the national semi final if your team think you get

723
00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:03,079
a legitimate chance. If you're Indiana and you think you

724
00:37:03,199 --> 00:37:05,760
got a shot to win the national championship, do you

725
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,159
skip going to the second round game to save yourself

726
00:37:08,199 --> 00:37:10,559
some money? These are all issues coming up. But to me,

727
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,280
if the schedules were even and the strength of schedule

728
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,559
was even, don't you want to put the head to

729
00:37:18,559 --> 00:37:20,039
head as meaning something even though the game was in

730
00:37:20,079 --> 00:37:23,639
early September. Shouldn't head to head matter? And if you

731
00:37:23,679 --> 00:37:27,159
get a head to head, guess what Miami beating Notre Dame.

732
00:37:27,599 --> 00:37:31,679
There's your head to head? Very simple. If you want

733
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,760
so many, so many like tiebreakers. If there isn't a

734
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,639
just if there isn't a significant advantage, unless the computer

735
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,000
saw otherwise, unless the computers can tell me there is

736
00:37:42,039 --> 00:37:44,920
a significant reason why Miami is better than Notre Dame.

737
00:37:45,039 --> 00:37:47,000
Then if we're gonna go off of what we've seen

738
00:37:47,079 --> 00:37:50,599
and done in the competition's about the same. Then went

739
00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:51,960
and out, go to the fifth time breaker and the

740
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,320
fifth tipe breakers head to head. Miami's in, Notre Dame's out. Yeah,

741
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,800
it's it's no great tragedy that Notre Dame is out

742
00:37:59,039 --> 00:38:01,440
or Texas or vanders build. I know they're upset. B

743
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:05,280
Yu' is not overly pleased. I'm sorry, b b Y.

744
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,280
You shut your bumb asses. That was such a lousy

745
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,480
game too. Yeah, I just thought the whole Oh another thing.

746
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:14,800
Let me see if that's something to tell the truth.

747
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,079
I don't want I don't want to give this up

748
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,480
because I don't want to do a take and not

749
00:38:17,639 --> 00:38:19,719
to see if you can get this take a break. Well,

750
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,119
I want to make sure I don't. I did tell

751
00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:22,400
the truth here. Oh yeah, I can't say what I

752
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:27,920
want to second done that before revealing about an hour

753
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,880
ago you said no, no, no no, think you can

754
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,440
catch me in a lie? Uh seven one three two

00:38:43,159 --> 00:38:46,119
I want to know. Number two, it's college football playoffs?

759
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:47,920
Were you as mad as hell? Not gonna take anymore?

760
00:38:48,119 --> 00:38:51,000
And number three a former astro is going into the

761

Hall of Fame and I don't care. Ooh that's on

762
00:38:57,599 --> 00:38:59,559
a great tease, is it? And we can probably figure

763
00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:02,039

768
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,360

769
00:39:24,559 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 5: Let's go.

770
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: Seven one hello, Hello, Hello, seven one three two one

771
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,800
two five seven eighty ross. How was your weekend? Weekend

772
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,320
was great? Started off on a Friday, kicked it off

773
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:41,360
with a nice Rockets win, the airport, went to hot pot.

774
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,559
Yeah we did. Spicy was too spicy, but the other

775
00:39:44,679 --> 00:39:45,840
broth was fantastic.

776
00:39:46,599 --> 00:39:47,119
Speaker 7: It was good.

777
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: I knew it was too spicy when you guys were like, damn,

778
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,840
this is spicy. No, I accidentally got some and I

779
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,280
got some broth in your nose, in my throat, oh

780
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,559
and down your throat. Oh got you all right. I

781
00:39:57,679 --> 00:39:59,480
always do that. I'm always drinking and I just start

782
00:39:59,519 --> 00:40:01,599
coughing and it's people are like, are you okay, Yes,

783
00:40:01,639 --> 00:40:03,440
I'm okay. I'm just saying the idiot I just finished

784
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,119
when it happens to like one on the Rockets place.

785
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,400
Rockets got a good win, had a good weekend, Texans

786
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,679
had a good win. I got an I just don't

787
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,159
get it from the sports be show is at on Sunday.

788
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,360
You guys have it all the way to Thursday. Yeah,

789
00:40:16,679 --> 00:40:18,519
he writes you write it down. I'm writing it down

790
00:40:18,639 --> 00:40:23,000
right now on my on my show document. We have

791
00:40:23,039 --> 00:40:25,880
a show doc. No, it's my own personal I like

792
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,239
the dumb things Matt said. Yet, No, not that one

793
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,199
the nose your wrongest file. We haven't dusted that one

794
00:40:31,199 --> 00:40:33,519
off in a while. But it's coming up. It's coming

795
00:40:33,599 --> 00:40:38,119
up when we hear from Kyle Tucker. Although you know,

796
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,440
the longer this drag's on, the better it is for you. No,

797
00:40:40,639 --> 00:40:42,480
don't even set me up that way. Don't even do it.

798
00:40:42,519 --> 00:40:45,079
Winter meetings, by the way, this week going on, which

799
00:40:45,119 --> 00:40:47,159
is weird because we're not even technically in a winter yet,

800
00:40:47,199 --> 00:40:50,039
are we not for a couple of weeks. But it's

801
00:40:50,119 --> 00:40:53,760
it's baseball winner. It is true, it is true. And

802
00:40:54,199 --> 00:40:57,760
what have we got? Let's see college football? Oh, Hall

803
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,880
of fam I'll mention it real quick. A lot of

804
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,760
folks really wanted Dale Murphy and Don Manningly to get

805
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,599
in the Veterans Committee introduction to that, to the Hall

806
00:41:05,599 --> 00:41:08,320
of Fame, and they did not get in. Jeff Kenton did.

807
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:14,880
We were talking about this recently. I think Hall of

808
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,280
very Good or Hall of Fame, Hall of very Good,

809
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:23,280
hall of an a hole though just one time MVP,

810
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,320
five time All Star, four time Silver Slugger very good,

811
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,440
never finished top five MVP a very good other time

812
00:41:34,079 --> 00:41:36,320
and just not a very nice person. I'm sure maybe

813
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,519
he's older, he's nicer, but as a young sportscaster, is

814
00:41:40,599 --> 00:41:42,840
he ever? Was he in the gott in a fight

815
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,920
with Barry Bonds game? Respect for that? Through hands with Barry?

816
00:41:46,159 --> 00:41:48,360
He did it with the Giants together? Yeah? Were they

817
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,840
in a fistfight? Yeah? And the Barry would break him

818
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,679
in half, especially what Barry was doing. Jeff Kent's pretty strong. Well,

819
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,599
what was Jeff kid doing? Jeff Kent was counter strong? Okay,

820
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,920
would went and doubt his saying somebody country is strong.

821
00:42:03,519 --> 00:42:03,639
Speaker 5: Uh.

822
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a young sports cast. Though he was as

823
00:42:06,559 --> 00:42:12,800
intimidating and as un friendly and borderline rude to people. Jackie,

824
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,320
he was a jackass. He unfortunately impressions everything and sometimes,

825
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,800
you know, you hear about how players take longer to

826
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,079
get in the Hall of Fame because the way they

827
00:42:20,119 --> 00:42:21,840
treat the media, and I know that's not supposed to

828
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,239
be that way. It's supposed to be. But the numbers

829
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:24,960
and the facts, but you know what, we're our humans.

830
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,079
Career ops eight fifty five in the steroid are career

831
00:42:29,119 --> 00:42:31,599
ops plus of one twenty. Sorry, Jeff, you don't deserve

832
00:42:31,599 --> 00:42:37,119
a sorry. Rkman was like a nine to thirty six

833
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,159
career serves being before Jeff Camp and by the way,

834
00:42:40,199 --> 00:42:46,760
five thousand times a better person. Yeah that's fine, gratu

835
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,280
to the entire Camp filmly, but by the way Kent's

836
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,960
son plays it, did play it. I think at A

837
00:42:50,039 --> 00:42:51,639
and M. I think he was on the baseball team

838
00:42:52,039 --> 00:42:53,719
he got didn't get picked off at first or something,

839
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,800
and his dad was pointing to his head. Yeah, that's

840
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,840
what I'm saying, Why would you do that? Do you

841
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,280
think Jeff Kant's son needed to see that from dad?

842
00:43:01,159 --> 00:43:03,440
Of course. Not that's dad to son stuff though, that's

843
00:43:03,559 --> 00:43:05,920
that was fair play to me. Oh on in front

844
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,920
of a national television audience. That's hey, do that in

845
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,719
the car. You get your head in the game, son,

846
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:11,880
get your head in the game.

847
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 6: Let's go.

848
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,199
Speaker 1: No, that's a jerk move. No, well you don't. Do

849
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,119

00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:26,159
Speaker 2: It was awesome.

877
00:44:26,679 --> 00:44:29,079
Speaker 8: They went to Kansas City, took care of business.

878
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 2: Now, can we had a crushed city?

879
00:44:32,199 --> 00:44:34,679
Speaker 1: Can we get a swarm city? Can we get a

880
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:35,840

881
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,719

Kelty was laid out, he was laid out, and it

883
00:44:44,079 --> 00:44:44,679

884
00:44:45,159 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: It was great to take down the Kingdom.

885
00:44:48,039 --> 00:44:52,159
Speaker 6: Okay, we're building something here, We're building something special. We

886
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,760
got a super Bowl caliber defense, we got a quarterback

887
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,039
that's getting some confidence.

888
00:44:57,679 --> 00:45:00,079
Speaker 1: And I mean we need to sign Will Anderson, a

889
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,320

892
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,639
We didn't want to see, you know, assault, you know,

893
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,199
these we wanted to see good.

894
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:16,519
Speaker 1: Play disease but disease.

895
00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:18,280
Speaker 7: But man, it was just great.

896
00:45:18,639 --> 00:45:19,079
Speaker 1: I love it.

897
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 6: I love y'all's energy, and I love the show. I

898
00:45:22,119 --> 00:45:24,800
just want to say, you know, to me, last night

899
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,280
was a Tangedell revenge game, and that's all I want

900
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:28,559
to say.

901
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 1: You know, I have a good day. Thank you. Sm City,

902
00:45:31,559 --> 00:45:33,880
swarm City. Yeah, they were not thinking about Tank Dell.

903
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,039
I don't know if Tank Dale's name was brought up

904
00:45:37,039 --> 00:45:42,679
at any on the plane. Yeah, I mean, I don't no,

905
00:45:43,639 --> 00:45:48,519
I don't like but that was that was zero motivation

906
00:45:48,639 --> 00:45:52,159
to us super Bowl caliber winning defense. Absolutely, c this

907
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,079
shroud needs to play a little bit better. But he

908
00:45:55,199 --> 00:45:57,960
wasn't terrible. It didn't cost him the game, didn't have

909
00:45:58,039 --> 00:46:01,480
to returnovers. Little blaming on CJ. Strode if any Honestly,

910
00:46:01,519 --> 00:46:02,760
I mean, there were some throws he could have made,

911
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,079
but that's all throws he could have made. But a

912
00:46:04,159 --> 00:46:05,920
couple of throws he did make. I mean he is

913
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,039
still like falling away, rolling to his right, falling away.

914
00:46:09,079 --> 00:46:13,679
He makes the craziest, most accurate throws. Those are throws that, honestly,

915
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,360
and I hit me for even bringing this name up.

916
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,360
Those are throws of Davis Mills can't make He just

917
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,519
can't make those throws's. And that's one of about five

918
00:46:21,599 --> 00:46:23,920
million reasons why c. J. Stroud should be the starting

919
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,400
quarterback over Davis Mills. And I can't believe I'm having

920
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,199
to bring I forgot to put my same tweet that

921
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,679
I put the week before Davis Mills would have won

922
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,920
this game with three hundred and seventy five and four touchdowns.

923
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,559
Do you want that, Hayes? Do you want that? Heyny

924
00:46:37,599 --> 00:46:40,559
to me, I like rooting out the idiots. It's like

925
00:46:40,679 --> 00:46:45,400
mute farming speaking of idiot on tweets. Man, bring this up,

926
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:50,559
go ahead. So uh, I put the tweet out yesterday

927
00:46:50,639 --> 00:46:54,239
that I'm low key in factory with Jalen Petrie's helmet, okay,

928
00:46:55,639 --> 00:46:57,079
And I was like, yeah, that thing is funny. And

929
00:46:57,119 --> 00:46:59,880
there's pictures of the Great Kazoo and there's other helmets

930
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:03,119
of other players, and some random guy says, would you

931
00:47:03,199 --> 00:47:05,280
please stop calling the back part of the back the

932
00:47:05,519 --> 00:47:07,800
backboard of the heel when a shot goes off the heel,

933
00:47:08,519 --> 00:47:13,960
it's not a term. Stop using it what So of

934
00:47:14,039 --> 00:47:16,800
course I questioned myself to say there is a heel.

935
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,280
I've grown up on the hill By the way, when

936
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,239
you are a broadcaster, you think of different ways of

937
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,559
calling the same thing different names because you just don't

938
00:47:22,559 --> 00:47:24,760
want to say the same thing every single time. So

939
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,239
that when googled it heel the backboard, and there is

940
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,239
definitely a heel to the backboard. It's not it's not

941
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:34,320
a definitive terminology, but as a slang slash secondary term

942
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,639
for the part of the back part of the rim,

943
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,960
it's the heel. Listen to more basketball, dude. So I

944
00:47:40,079 --> 00:47:42,440
respond to him, that guy, I responded back to him,

945
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,039
I said, not only am I going to continue to

946
00:47:44,159 --> 00:47:45,599
use it, but I'm going to use it more just

947
00:47:45,639 --> 00:47:51,400
to irritate you. Yeah, the heel, uh with the heel

948
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,320
of the the heel of the backboard, like the bottom,

949
00:47:54,199 --> 00:47:55,880
what are you talking about? The heel the heel of

950
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:57,400
the back of the rim, in the back of the

951
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,639
rim that connects to the backboard, is that heel? Okay, yes,

952
00:48:00,559 --> 00:48:03,719
before Yeah, that's very cod but but it made me

953
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,280
sad because I'm sitting here. I'm like, I've called also,

954
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,679
I don't know twos and an eagle says it. Everybody

955
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,199
I can think of says heel, yes, and he's like

956
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,360
there's no such thing. I'm like, there is no You

957
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,920
cannot go to a definition, say you can look it up.

958
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,119
Everybody calls it a heel. There's that, you know what

959
00:48:20,159 --> 00:48:22,119
I'm talking about. The ball comes off the back of

960
00:48:22,159 --> 00:48:25,039
the iron towards the backboard. That's that little space there

961
00:48:25,079 --> 00:48:26,960
that will whatever, that little how many inches that is,

962
00:48:27,039 --> 00:48:30,000
that's a heel. Yeah. But I was like, damn, I

963
00:48:30,159 --> 00:48:33,360
just put a nice jail and Peatrie. I'm infatuating with

964
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,679
your helmet and it's very easy. It's mute, mutable, I know,

965
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,000
but it was like, that's it. Can can we not

966
00:48:40,199 --> 00:48:42,360
just enjoy what we're watching in front of me? You're

967
00:48:42,559 --> 00:48:45,079
in a in a sea of negativity and stupidity. We

968
00:48:45,199 --> 00:48:47,199
have to be on social media because of our jobs.

969
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,159
And I do enjoy social media.

970
00:48:49,199 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 3: I do.

971
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 1: I do for the most part.

972
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:50,679
Speaker 6: Yeah.

973
00:48:50,679 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: I like making jokes and having fun. And ninety seven

974
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,960
percent of the people who respond, like tweet or see

975
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:03,079
our stuff. It's fine, yes, but there's that miserable human

976
00:49:03,159 --> 00:49:06,199
beings Brian on seven and he's on a miserable human

977
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,159
being Hi, Brian, Well, it.

978
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,199
Speaker 9: Depends on the day, it depends on how you ask.

979
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,119
But you know, sometimes hey, real quick. I think one

980
00:49:14,159 --> 00:49:17,519
of the biggest plays that was actually missed that actually

981
00:49:17,559 --> 00:49:19,719
turned out to be huge in the long run, was

982
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:24,559
on the questionable fourth down called by the Chiefs. These

983
00:49:24,559 --> 00:49:27,880
all shy here, actually missed the tackle on Patrick Mahomes.

984
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,639
You try to tackle him up hie, and if he

985
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,760
makes that, it winds up being like fourth and five

986
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,960
from their own twenty six and they probably punt. So

987
00:49:36,199 --> 00:49:39,159
him actually missing that puts them in that fourth and

988
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,960
one and allows them to go for it, and then

989
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,559
obviously you get the stop. So if there's ever a

990
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,800
case where it's like, man, you didn't wrap up and

991
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,239
tackle there, what are you doing? You gave them extra

992
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:54,159
yard by him actually missing that. I think actually hoped

993
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:54,960
that happen.

994
00:49:55,519 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: So you know, sometimes in a way of not making.

995
00:49:58,199 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 9: A player missing a tackle actually winds up being a

996
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,800
little bit better. Now, obviously you don't want to miss

997
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,679
too many of those. But I don't know if y'all

998
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,760
remember seeing that play, but I mean the play before

999
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,760
that led up to that fourth down, but he actually

1000
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,280
missed that tackle and he tried to tackle him up high,

1001
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,519
and Mahomes got away. But that was a hell of

1002
00:50:14,559 --> 00:50:18,039
a game last night. Especially the defense. I mean, that's

1003
00:50:18,559 --> 00:50:21,840
that's pretty salty stuff. But Jalen Petrie's helmet reminds me

1004
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:23,239
one of those you can get from one of the

1005
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,360
team stores. Of like the oversized hat you see fans

1006
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,480
wearing around the stadium, but don't I could think of

1007
00:50:28,559 --> 00:50:31,360
when I see that night. You know, there's like three

1008
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,719
you know the ball cap that are like four times

1009
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,840
too big and people wear them around. That's what I

1010
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,400
was thinking he was wearing most of the time. But

1011
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,360
that was really good. Matt congrets on the should be

1012
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,480
a good matchup against l Issues. Yeah, we're gonna go

1013
00:50:45,519 --> 00:50:48,639
into the Texas Bowl. Yeah, yeah, should there's no reason

1014
00:50:48,679 --> 00:50:49,360
why you shouldn't.

1015
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,079
Speaker 2: And Notre Dame.

1016
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 9: I give them automatic birth to being d of the

1017
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,400
Year not going to a bowl game just because you

1018
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,119
didn't make it in like you're robbing your senior and

1019
00:51:00,159 --> 00:51:03,119
those guys one last chance to play. And it sounds

1020
00:51:03,159 --> 00:51:04,960
like the players in that mush but it sounds like

1021
00:51:05,039 --> 00:51:06,159
it was an administration.

1022
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 7: But don't.

1023
00:51:17,639 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: All Brian has got a bad connection. Yeah, what was

1024
00:51:21,039 --> 00:51:24,280
it going with on hard to tell? Yeah, it was

1025
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,440
gonna be Notre Dame about the it's oh, not Dame Okay,

1026
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,199
let me see it. Make sure it's something one like

1027
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:34,039
to tell the truth. I'm sorry, Ross, and you and

1028
00:51:34,119 --> 00:51:36,960
I have not even talked about this. It's a bitch move.

1029
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,559
Turned the ball games down. I just think it's terrible.

1030
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,239
Kurpavaqua was the IDA at Notre Dame and he's like,

1031
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,960
we're not playing. I guess I just need to know more.

1032
00:51:47,119 --> 00:51:49,360
What why are they doing this? What are the long

1033
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,599
term implications? How much? What are the financial implications? Well,

1034
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,039
we'll read Notre Dame football team will come back. Okay,

1035
00:51:55,119 --> 00:51:56,960
by the way, did you see the Iowa State in

1036
00:51:57,039 --> 00:52:00,159
Kansas State have do coaches and they are also saying thanks.

1037
00:52:00,159 --> 00:52:01,920
But it makes some more sense if you're trying to

1038
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,239
get a new coach integrated. So here's the difference, really quick.

1039
00:52:06,599 --> 00:52:09,280
When you don't take a bawl, you cut into the

1040
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,320
Big twelve proceeds because you don't have a Big twelve,

1041
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,159
and they split the balls equitably, They sp them all,

1042
00:52:15,199 --> 00:52:17,000
split them all even though. So guess what Brett Normark

1043
00:52:17,079 --> 00:52:19,239
just did, the commissioner of the Big twelve. You find

1044
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,840
them five hundred thousand dollars each, So we're getting our money.

1045
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,440
Don't worry and I don't blame him for doing that.

1046
00:52:24,559 --> 00:52:26,760
You tell them you if we have slots and you

1047
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:31,119
can't fill them because you don't want to play, gonna

1048
00:52:31,159 --> 00:52:34,880
cost you. Yeah, So instead of going to the bowl game,

1049
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,119
probably taking a loss, cause you're probably gonna have to

1050
00:52:37,119 --> 00:52:39,320
have on that many fans, you know, only are you

1051
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,320
not gonna have the extra practice, You're not gonna have

1052
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,159
a chance to have one they have an experience with

1053
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,159
the kids. You're gonna you just cost your school a

1054
00:52:47,159 --> 00:52:51,000
half million dollars. I hope this stops. I don't think

1055
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,519
it's going to, but I hope it does. We'll reading

1056
00:52:53,559 --> 00:52:55,480
Notre Dame statement and you tell me if it's genu

1057
00:52:55,599 --> 00:52:59,199

1062
00:53:09,679 --> 00:53:12,280
have to tell the truth coming up today at E

1063
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:16,000
eleven thirty right here on Sports Talk seven ninety eleven nineteen,

1064
00:53:16,559 --> 00:53:22,119
Matt and Ross seven ninety is your station. So Notre

1065
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:26,760
Dame yesterday at two forty eight, So that was what

1066
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,039
the announcement was about. Eleven thirty Ish giver or Take

1067
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,159
sent out this following tweet. It says, as a team,

1068
00:53:34,199 --> 00:53:36,599
we've decided to withdraw our name from consideration for a

1069
00:53:36,639 --> 00:53:39,800
bowl game following the twenty twenty five season. We appreciate

1070
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,599
all the support from our families and fans, and we

1071
00:53:41,679 --> 00:53:44,320
were hoping to bring the twelfth national title to South Bend.

1072
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,880
In twenty twenty six, Dash signed the twenty twenty five

1073
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:53,679
Notre Dame football team. I gotta be honest with you,

1074
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,079
Notre Dame is their elitist and that mayn't be breaking

1075
00:53:59,119 --> 00:54:04,760
news anybody. My god, they're elitist already dropping a twelfth

1076
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,480
national championship forecast in there's a sentence by the way,

1077
00:54:08,639 --> 00:54:10,440
I saw this on Twitter and I believe it to

1078
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,559
be accurate. Krip Vlockwa said that they have a new

1079
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,599
agreement as part of this CFP that if they're in

1080
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:21,039
the top twelve. If they are in the top twelve

1081
00:54:21,079 --> 00:54:24,960
and the CFP rankings, they are the first team they

1082
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,960
are guaranteed a spot in the playoff, so they would

1083
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,519
be the first at large team. Okay, which is again

1084
00:54:32,159 --> 00:54:34,800
going to along the lines of man the Notre Dame, whoever,

1085
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,559
whoever Tooe negotiates for them. It's pretty good. So there

1086
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,880
was some sort of well they were eleventh, right, so

1087
00:54:42,039 --> 00:54:47,519
there was some sort of contractual obligation next year, starting

1088
00:54:47,559 --> 00:54:52,360
next next year. Yeah, yeah, next year. So if there

1089
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:57,199
are wild cards, they're the first wild card. If they're

1090
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:02,360
in the top twelve. What yeah, h okay, let me

1091
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,119
do this. Let me do some more fact checking on

1092
00:55:04,199 --> 00:55:07,920
that to give you the go They would push out Tulane, No,

1093
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,599
because they were a conference James Madden Madison. Nope, they

1094
00:55:10,639 --> 00:55:13,360
were a conference champion. Okay, talking about walka Okay, So

1095
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,079
then they would push out they would push out Miami correct.

1096
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:20,440
Oh my god, So they would be ranked if that

1097
00:55:20,559 --> 00:55:23,880
happened this year, they would be ranked behind Miami, yet

1098
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:27,559
push them out via their rule. This is chaos.

1099
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:30,039
Speaker 4: Here.

1100
00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:30,280
Speaker 5: It is.

1101
00:55:32,039 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: As part of the new CFP contract starting in twenty

1102
00:55:34,519 --> 00:55:39,559
twenty six, Notre Dame secured unique provisions. The contract includes

1103
00:55:39,639 --> 00:55:42,920
language that guarantees a top twelve ranked Notre Dame team

1104
00:55:43,039 --> 00:55:51,039
a spot in the twelve team playoff field. So if

1105
00:55:51,119 --> 00:55:54,719
Notre Dame finishes in the top twelve, which includes conference

1106
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,639
champions in the top at large teams. They will be

1107
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,719
in the playoff regardless of conference championship outcomes for others.

1108
00:56:00,679 --> 00:56:03,400
So if they're in the top twelve, they would leap

1109
00:56:03,559 --> 00:56:11,639
frog an at large team. I guess they would not

1110
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,280
necessarily leapfrogging, but they would be guaranteed a spot in it. Yeah,

1111
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,039
they would take out number ten, right, I mean they

1112
00:56:16,039 --> 00:56:21,320
would be in Miami. Yes, oh man, I mean that's

1113
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,440
probably not gonna happen year to year. You're taking out

1114
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,039
a team that you put right behind that beat you

1115
00:56:26,159 --> 00:56:29,880
had to head. I wish that would happen this year.

1116
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,039
Maximum chaos. The rule would be, it's a Notre Dame rule. Sorry,

1117
00:56:34,519 --> 00:56:34,960
it's us.

1118
00:56:35,639 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 2: Wow.

1119
00:56:36,039 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this because I was just listened

1120
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,559
to a Paul fine Bomb tweet as I was searching

1121
00:56:40,639 --> 00:56:42,880
for that. What is in your mind? What is Notre

1122
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,760
Dame's cachet? To me, it has its own TV network

1123
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,400
and it has a natural following, but it's not what

1124
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,039
it was ten or fifteen years ago. The question is

1125
00:56:53,079 --> 00:56:55,599
has I think it's not an indictment against Notre Dame.

1126
00:56:55,639 --> 00:56:58,360
I think it's a push that the SEC is just

1127
00:56:58,559 --> 00:57:01,599
so much more powerful and everybody else. That's part of it.

1128
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,159
Because their matchups week to week aren't going to be great.

1129
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,119
But the list, did you see the they on three

1130
00:57:07,159 --> 00:57:10,119
had put out a list of most watched teams. It's

1131
00:57:10,159 --> 00:57:13,559
basically the whole sec. This is by millions of viewers

1132
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:22,239
via Nilsen know week to week Bama, Texas, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, LSU, Tennessee, Auburn, Michigan,

1133
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,800
A and M. So so Notre Name is not in

1134
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:26,519
that ga. Notre Dame's not there. So A and M

1135
00:57:26,639 --> 00:57:29,679
is a better national television viewing audience than Notre Dame. Well,

1136
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,679
because if A and M is playing the teams that

1137
00:57:31,719 --> 00:57:34,000
are above the right weeks, they're going to get more viewers.

1138
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,840
If it's Notre Name Boston College, well, I'll tell you

1139
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:42,199
what that's that's just one measure. Well, by these eyeballs,

1140
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:43,920
they're not in the top ten. You know, Notre Dame

1141
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,639
has to play four ACC teams. I mean that they

1142
00:57:46,719 --> 00:57:52,360
played this year North Carolina State nobody cares, Pittsburgh nobody cares. No,

1143
00:57:52,679 --> 00:57:56,199
the Miami game was super sexy, and the fourth was

1144
00:57:56,239 --> 00:58:03,079
Boston College, who won one game this year. To tell

1145
00:58:03,119 --> 00:58:06,679
the truth, bottom of the arm Oh, the foreshadowing, what

1146
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,599
do we call a foreshadow. You know, you're such a

1147
00:58:08,679 --> 00:58:13,320
radio profession I'm trying, Ross, I'm trying. Let's talk to

1148
00:58:13,679 --> 00:58:16,280
Alan on seven ninety eleven, twenty four. Alan, good morning

1149
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:21,079
to you. Good morning man, y'all doing this morning fantastic?

1150
00:58:21,119 --> 00:58:21,599
Speaker 5: What's up with you?

1151
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 2: Man?

1152
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 8: I just I'm very disappointed in Notre Dame because Marcus

1153
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:35,280
Freeman's are a terrific coach, and I just I'm not

1154
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:39,000
on You're you're taking away an opportunity from a lot

1155
00:58:39,079 --> 00:58:42,840
of seniors. Also not to mention the other seniors that

1156
00:58:43,119 --> 00:58:45,360
you would be playing in the bowl game. So I mean,

1157
00:58:46,239 --> 00:58:49,280
it's it's just it's just a woozy way of not

1158
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:53,719
getting your way in my in my opinion, Yeah, I don't.

1159
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm never really yeah, Alan, I'm never a fan of

1160
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,559
take my ball and going home under any circumstance, especially

1161
00:58:59,679 --> 00:59:01,639
for this. This was Notre Dame would have played on

1162
00:59:01,679 --> 00:59:04,280
a huge bowl game. Notre Dame would have drawn got

1163
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,599
a lot of money towards their school. Not that worried

1164
00:59:06,639 --> 00:59:08,800
about people in the checkbooks, but it would have given

1165
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,000
some kids some more games. And and here's the thing

1166
00:59:11,079 --> 00:59:14,679
out and maybe we're just stupid to this, but there

1167
00:59:14,719 --> 00:59:17,760
are still kids that don't make millions of dollars in

1168
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,840
nil that just go to enjoy and play college football,

1169
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,280
that will end their careers playing college football. That when

1170
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,480
you get to go to Orlando or Tampa or Miami

1171
00:59:26,679 --> 00:59:30,480
or Pasadena or Tucson or Phoenix for five or six

1172
00:59:30,599 --> 00:59:32,480
days and get loved on and play football and have

1173
00:59:32,599 --> 00:59:35,079
a nice bowl game down your career, I think there's

1174
00:59:35,079 --> 00:59:37,000
some value in that. And Notre Dame just said no,

1175
00:59:37,119 --> 00:59:38,960
there's not, and I disagree with that.

1176
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's that's I mean, they just screwed those kids.

1177
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:46,400
They really just screwed them out. And I mean, I'm

1178
00:59:47,079 --> 00:59:50,719
one with what you're saying. I'm one hundred percent of board.

1179
00:59:51,039 --> 00:59:54,119
And it's really a sad thing because I like watching

1180
00:59:54,199 --> 00:59:57,880
Notre Dame football, you know, I like watching Notre Dame football.

1181
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:01,880
But I mean, beef up your schedule. Stop crying. Beat

1182
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:02,639
up your schedule.

1183
01:00:03,559 --> 01:00:07,119
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, thanks, yeah, thank you Allen for the phone call.

1184
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,400
They do control their own schedule, no one. The only

1185
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:10,719
thing they have to do is they've got to play

1186
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,079
four acc Now how they do that, I don't know.

1187
01:00:14,079 --> 01:00:15,840
I don't think they randomly call them. I know there's

1188
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:20,079
a rotation or whatever the case may be. It's tough

1189
01:00:20,119 --> 01:00:22,599
because you schedule years in advance. I'm trying to pull

1190
01:00:22,679 --> 01:00:24,760
up their schedule. I mean a m and Miami are

1191
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,079
a good schedule. Generally, you would think USC is a

1192
01:00:27,119 --> 01:00:29,599
good USC was its top twenty five. Here's what they

1193
01:00:29,679 --> 01:00:32,280
normally play every year. They always play USC, which I

1194
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,159
think is in doub at this point for the guild.

1195
01:00:35,039 --> 01:00:38,000
They always stop playing. I think it's old school rivalry.

1196
01:00:38,119 --> 01:00:41,039
Come on, now, they play Navy every year. Yeah, I mean,

1197
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,280
which maybe now it was a joke thirty years ago,

1198
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,440
but that's not a joke anymore. But still, I mean,

1199
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,679
and they always wound up having they played Boise State

1200
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,000
this year, which was no, that's no good. That's no good. Arkansas,

1201
01:00:53,079 --> 01:00:55,000
you would figure it would at least be decent year

1202
01:00:55,039 --> 01:00:57,559
by year, right, I mean they crushed Arkansas fifty six

1203
01:00:57,599 --> 01:01:00,360
to thirteen. Good guys in uh in Fai Bill too,

1204
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:05,440
I think so, yes, that was on the road. I mean,

1205
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,599
if you've got about five games, and you would think

1206
01:01:07,679 --> 01:01:10,000
Pitt was top twenty five. When they played Pitt and

1207
01:01:10,079 --> 01:01:13,719
you beat them like a drum in their building, Boston

1208
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,039
College did nothing for you, Sarah Houston, Nothing has had

1209
01:01:16,079 --> 01:01:22,679
some good years. It honestly doesn't look like the weakest

1210
01:01:22,719 --> 01:01:25,000
schedule ever. Well, I mean I think in theory, just

1211
01:01:25,039 --> 01:01:27,000
by when you make these years in advance. Well, the

1212
01:01:27,079 --> 01:01:30,400
reality is this isn't Miami in Notre Dame schedule just

1213
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,519
about the same because they're playing a SEC teams. Yeah,

1214
01:01:36,119 --> 01:01:37,920
and if anything, maybe even Notre Dame had a slightly

1215
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,079
difficult schedule because you know MIAI doesn't Miami play like

1216
01:01:40,119 --> 01:01:43,719
Bathune Cookman or somebody they like something, you know, South

1217
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,440
Florida or something. Yeah, they played South Florida this year.

1218
01:01:45,519 --> 01:01:49,480
Was trying to be better than they were supposed to be. Yes, Florida,

1219
01:01:49,559 --> 01:01:51,920
Florida state. I mean they play all the Florida teams,

1220
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:56,000
lost to Louisville, lost to smu oh no in Miami

1221
01:01:56,079 --> 01:01:59,800
year round they lost to louill and smuh. I'll get

1222
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:03,360
out to hear. But you did beat Notre Dame. They

1223
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,320
beat Notre Dame. And if there's tiebreakers, we got to

1224
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,679
use it as some tiebreaker, do we not? Texas is

1225
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:32,480
better than this, just saying I never know why. Eleven

1226
01:02:32,599 --> 01:02:36,960
thirty four, Rossie and Jonathan I have four takes. I

1227
01:02:37,199 --> 01:02:40,360
believe three of them Jonathan, how many lies am I

1228
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:45,920
going to tell you? Then? One ross of these four

1229
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,239
one is a lie? How many are truths?

1230
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:50,639
Speaker 3: Two?

1231
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:54,079
Speaker 1: Three, three? That's right, Gentlemens, for you to decide which

1232
01:02:54,119 --> 01:02:56,559
one I'm telling the truth? One line, one lie, one lie,

1233
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,119
three truths. Number one. I know people are backing on

1234
01:03:00,199 --> 01:03:03,800
conference championship games, Okay, I like them. I don't want

1235
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,119
nine way ties to determine a championship. I think when

1236
01:03:06,119 --> 01:03:08,480
you have these mega conferences which we have, you have

1237
01:03:08,599 --> 01:03:10,559
to have a championship game. You can't have a five

1238
01:03:10,639 --> 01:03:13,679
way tie with one loss. So for conference championship guys,

1239
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:15,840
get rid of the championship games. Screw you. They make

1240
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:17,719
a lot of money for the league. Television buys them up.

1241
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:24,280
Keep them as number one. Number two, eliminate weekly CFP rankings.

1242
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:29,320
All it does gang is create angst. College hoops doesn't

1243
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,159
do it, so why should football. I get rid of

1244
01:03:32,239 --> 01:03:37,719
the weekly CFP rankings. Now that's number two. Number three.

1245
01:03:39,599 --> 01:03:42,280
I know that Notre Dame plays in the ACC with

1246
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,679
these four opponents, every common opponents they have to play

1247
01:03:44,679 --> 01:03:48,079
every year, right, and there's part of their schedule. Notre Dame.

1248
01:03:48,719 --> 01:03:52,760
This is the nine millionth time this should explain why

1249
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:56,800
you should join a conference, but you should not be

1250
01:03:57,039 --> 01:04:01,920
joining the ACC. Go to the Big Ten conference because

1251
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,679
the Big Ten frankly needs you sec supremacy on television

1252
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:11,119
sets and viewership. Notre Dame. You need to decide for

1253
01:04:11,199 --> 01:04:13,559
yourself what you want to be the Big mighty independent,

1254
01:04:14,199 --> 01:04:16,199
or join a conference and give your shot a legitimate

1255
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,559
chance of being in the tournament every single year by

1256
01:04:18,639 --> 01:04:22,280
winning a conference. Notre Dame go join the Big Ten conference.

1257
01:04:23,639 --> 01:04:28,960
And number four. Either you eliminate rossy the automatic qualifiers,

1258
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,599
which we had the five highest conferences, two of which

1259
01:04:31,639 --> 01:04:36,039
were non Power four schools, or you go to sixteen teams.

1260
01:04:36,199 --> 01:04:39,960
We can't have this happen again. There are people annihilating

1261
01:04:40,039 --> 01:04:43,480
the fact that James Madison and Tulane are in the

1262
01:04:43,519 --> 01:04:48,280
College Football Playoff as they should, or for Notre Dame

1263
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:54,400
and others, either eliminate the AQ or go to sixteen teams.

1264
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:59,079
We cannot have history repeat itself again. Which one of

1265
01:04:59,119 --> 01:05:03,039
those four lying about Number one? I like conference championship games.

1266
01:05:03,119 --> 01:05:07,400
Keep them. Number two, eliminate weekly college football rankings. Number

1267
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,039
three Notre Dames should join the Big Ten. Number four

1268
01:05:10,159 --> 01:05:14,400
eliminate the automatic qualifier or go to sixteen teams one

1269
01:05:14,599 --> 01:05:16,519
or the other. Which one of those four? Am I

1270
01:05:16,599 --> 01:05:19,880
lying about? These actually aren't crazy takes for one job

1271
01:05:20,159 --> 01:05:23,280
very much. I'm actually locked. You're being reasonable and there's

1272
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,719
only one line here. This seems like an easy week here.

1273
01:05:28,719 --> 01:05:31,960
Oh you think so? I think so? Okay, I kind

1274
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:32,920
of gave you one already.

1275
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 5: Hmm.

1276
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,599
Speaker 1: I think he thinks Notre Dame should join the Big ten.

1277
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,760
That makes sense. That sounds like Matt Thomas brain to me. Yeah,

1278
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,840
that seems reasonable. They're complaining in as we join the conference.

1279
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,079
I just coined a new term today. By the way,

1280
01:05:52,079 --> 01:05:55,920
Matt Thomas brain. You're gonna study it for generations here

1281
01:05:56,039 --> 01:06:00,880
that Joan, you donated to science? What mean that's not?

1282
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,559
How does that mean? Matt Thomas brain wasn't It wasn't

1283
01:06:03,559 --> 01:06:06,840
a complementary phrase? Okay, I guess thank you, You're welcome

1284
01:06:07,079 --> 01:06:12,719
all uh. I think he was kind of saying eliminate

1285
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:14,280
the ranking weekly rankings earlier?

1286
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 5: Right?

1287
01:06:14,519 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: Is that the one that he's talking about that he

1288
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,280
said earlier, Jonathan. I think that's that's why I'm having

1289
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,320
trouble with him. And he was kind of like going

1290
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,000
to it that he didn't want to you know, lead.

1291
01:06:22,039 --> 01:06:24,679
What was the number one? You like conference champions you

1292
01:06:24,719 --> 01:06:30,559
want to keep them? Hmmm, good for TV. I mean yeah,

1293
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,960
I'll go with four. What was number two? Number two

1294
01:06:35,039 --> 01:06:38,079
was you eliminate the weekly college football rankings because they

1295
01:06:38,079 --> 01:06:42,639
don't do in basketball? Why do it in football? You

1296
01:06:42,719 --> 01:06:46,599
know what I'm gonna go to. You think I'm lying

1297
01:06:46,599 --> 01:06:49,800
about that? Yeah, Jonason, I just brought this up an

1298
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:55,800
hour ago. I said, eliminate these things. You don't listen

1299
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,800
to the show. You're too busy listening to it on

1300
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,079
your computer. I'm just you know what, every time I

1301
01:07:00,119 --> 01:07:01,800
think you're doing it, though, I think you're right. I

1302
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:08,880
was trying to psyche you. I I like that bad loss.

1303
01:07:09,559 --> 01:07:16,239
I think I'm saying I don't care as much as

1304
01:07:16,239 --> 01:07:20,280
I don't mind automatic qualifiers. I'm afraid that James Madison

1305
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,440
untiland are going to get annihilated, which is going to

1306
01:07:22,719 --> 01:07:25,679
basically say, how do you you're gonna if you're gonna

1307
01:07:25,679 --> 01:07:28,239
put a QS in conference champions you can have to

1308
01:07:28,239 --> 01:07:30,679
go to sixteen teams. We can't have this. So you

1309
01:07:30,719 --> 01:07:34,039
do believe that, I do believe. I'm sorry, Yeah, I'm stupid. Yeah,

1310
01:07:34,039 --> 01:07:38,000
I do believe. So I'm sorry. You were supposed to

1311
01:07:38,159 --> 01:07:43,559
detect the lie she went over. I know its words.

1312
01:07:43,639 --> 01:07:48,639
I went for the robs just completely messed up. No,

1313
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:50,559
I think you believe that. I don't know why. I'm

1314
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,679
I'm an idiot, I believe that. Yeah, So it comes

1315
01:07:53,719 --> 01:07:55,960
down to I like conference championship games or Notre Dame

1316
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:56,719
should go the big ten.

1317
01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:57,599
Speaker 5: Uh.

1318
01:07:57,920 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: I like conference championship games.

1319
01:07:59,800 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 9: Uh.

1320
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: Duke, Virginia would have given us a very mid ACC champion.

1321
01:08:04,559 --> 01:08:07,880
We had a dramatic, awesome finale in Charlotte over the weekend.

1322
01:08:08,159 --> 01:08:10,880
Plus again, when you have a five way tie, you're

1323
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:14,159
gonna go to six different tiebreakers determined who's a conference champion.

1324
01:08:14,199 --> 01:08:18,920
I like conference championship games. Notre Dame is so arrogant.

1325
01:08:19,359 --> 01:08:22,079
They're never gonna join a conference. Yeah, but you were

1326
01:08:22,119 --> 01:08:25,079
saying they should. I'm not saying they should. Why would they.

1327
01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:28,840
NBC's running a check for being mid I'm Notre Dame.

1328
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,840
I'm gonna keep that money coming. I think you're stupid

1329
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:33,880
for turning the Bowl game down because that's collecting all

1330
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:36,880
the money themselves instead of sharing it. Yeah, why would

1331
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:38,600
Notre Dame want to share anything when they can make

1332
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,359
all the money. And oh, by the way, they're in

1333
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,800
a conference with everything else. It's pretty good. ACC basketball

1334
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:47,920
is excellent. How long is this this, NBC? It feels

1335
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,479
like it's been forever. Yeah. They renew it all the time.

1336
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,640
Yeah in Notre Dame and NBC's like, yeah, we either

1337
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:55,319
get you get to play on our network and we

1338
01:08:55,359 --> 01:08:57,640
get the fourth best Big Ten game Notre Dame. You

1339
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,199
stay right where you are. So the lie was Not

1340
01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:03,600
Dame shoul joined the Big Ten Conference. Okay, good job, man.

1341
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:05,920
I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at you, gentlemen.

1342
01:09:06,199 --> 01:09:09,960
I just brought this up an hour. That doesn't mean

1343
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:11,600
that you believe that though you get what I'm saying,

1344
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:19,520
like said some stuff. No, no, no, no, I mean

1345
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:20,960
that says a lot of crazy stuff.

1346
01:09:24,159 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 8: You know what.

1347
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you know what I'd like, You've gotta goze.

1348
01:09:29,159 --> 01:09:32,600
That's terrible. All right, So that was tell the truth,

1349
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:39,279
Thank you, Matt. I am, yeah, I I would if

1350
01:09:39,279 --> 01:09:42,119
I'm the CFP. I know that's again it's brought to

1351
01:09:42,119 --> 01:09:45,840
you by the Rome. We row. I think getting sponsors.

1352
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:49,000
They're gonna keep doing it. You get chatter, you get week,

1353
01:09:49,119 --> 01:09:51,359
you get midweek chatter about Okay, that's the perfect That's

1354
01:09:51,359 --> 01:09:54,359
why they're doing it on Tuesday. Yeah, because games happen

1355
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:55,920
on Saturday. You get a couple of days, you get

1356
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:57,399
into the middle of the week, and then you you

1357
01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:59,359
do it on Tuesday night. Then it's talked about on

1358
01:09:59,399 --> 01:10:02,359
the shows on it's they're smart, but they're not going

1359
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:04,119
to keep it. But they're not doing themselves any favors.

1360
01:10:04,159 --> 01:10:07,039
They're being ridiculed. That's how it's going to be, no

1361
01:10:07,119 --> 01:10:09,359
matter how, no matter what when we I mean, it

1362
01:10:09,399 --> 01:10:12,279
feels like there's controversy every year, no matter what, whether

1363
01:10:12,319 --> 01:10:17,720
it's two teams, four teams, twelve teams, nobody's happy. I'll

1364
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:19,319
say this, Ross and you have been the leader of

1365
01:10:19,399 --> 01:10:22,840
the do not let the automate conference champions top five

1366
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,159
get in which would be which this year's James Madison

1367
01:10:25,239 --> 01:10:29,079
and Tulane. If you're those schools and you are the

1368
01:10:30,159 --> 01:10:32,560
non power five, the Group of six whatever it's called.

1369
01:10:33,079 --> 01:10:34,720
If you're in one of those schools, which is about

1370
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:37,399
seventy five schools, right, it's the MAC, it's the Mount West,

1371
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:41,279
it's the New Pac twelve, it's Conference USA, it's American.

1372
01:10:42,119 --> 01:10:46,039
You are rooting like hell, they're competitive because if these

1373
01:10:46,119 --> 01:10:49,079
are If these are blowouts, We've already seen it ross

1374
01:10:49,359 --> 01:10:52,800
these colleg football playoffs will alter things in a heartbeat.

1375
01:10:53,399 --> 01:10:56,680
And apparently they needed votes. There was like ten conferences

1376
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:58,199
and then they needed some kind of vote to get

1377
01:10:58,239 --> 01:11:00,359
the to the twelve teams. So that's why the automatic

1378
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,199
qualifier exists in the first place. So I don't know

1379
01:11:02,239 --> 01:11:04,880
what kind of voting they need for me. Now I

1380
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,000
think I've really to shut them out. I'm going to

1381
01:11:07,079 --> 01:11:09,640
go right now with this official stance, and I don't

1382
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:11,800
think I'm gonna I like twelve as it is. Yes,

1383
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:15,960
but I'm gonna deal in realities. Let's go to sixteen.

1384
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:20,960
Let's let's have the two automatic, Let's have the automatic qualifiers.

1385
01:11:21,079 --> 01:11:24,399
The bet the five best get in. So when you

1386
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,359
have a James Madison and you have a Tulane in

1387
01:11:26,399 --> 01:11:29,119
the same year, it doesn't hurt nearly as much. I'm

1388
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,920
I still want and again, maybe I'm not man, Maybe

1389
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,359
I'm just for the underdog once in a while. But

1390
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:39,000
give me, give me something. If you are Colorado State,

1391
01:11:39,399 --> 01:11:42,119
if you are James Madison, if you're Coastal Carolina, if

1392
01:11:42,159 --> 01:11:44,760
you're Navy, give me something to play for. Give me

1393
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,239
at least a shot. At least invite me the dance.

1394
01:11:47,279 --> 01:11:49,159
I'm annabel stay out there very long, but give me

1395
01:11:49,159 --> 01:11:50,680
a shot. They get the top twelve in there. If

1396
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,880
you're in the top twelve, you make the dance. Boise

1397
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:54,680
State would have made it last year, they were good enough.

1398
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:57,399
In the years past, Central Florida whoever would have made

1399
01:11:57,399 --> 01:11:59,920
it because they were top twelve. You make the top twelve,

1400
01:12:00,039 --> 01:12:02,479
you're in. That's it. That's what I would do. Yeah,

1401
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,359
but no, I don't run college football. But you know

1402
01:12:04,399 --> 01:12:06,439
they're going to sixteen. This this feels like this is

1403
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:08,720
going to this is the next step. Ye uh, because

1404
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:13,000
it's more money. Yeah, but if there's blowouts, oh my god,

1405
01:12:13,199 --> 01:12:16,000
you I mean every college class fund that's going to

1406
01:12:16,039 --> 01:12:17,720
go with this happened.

1407
01:12:18,279 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1408
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:20,600
Speaker 1: Let me look, I have having on the lines. One

1409
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,000
is I believe eight Ole misses an eighteen and a

1410
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,479
half point favorite against Tulane, and I want to say

1411
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:30,520
that James Madison is a three touchdown dog to Oregon.

1412
01:12:32,079 --> 01:12:35,239
Am I right on those? I can't. Let's go to

1413
01:12:35,279 --> 01:12:38,119
the phones. Next eleven forty four on Sports Talk seven

1423
01:13:04,399 --> 01:13:09,159
holding in. Good morning to you, Good morning, love the show.

1424
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:09,720
Thank you.

1425
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:12,279
Speaker 10: I wanted to comment on the Notre Dame thing. Yeah,

1426
01:13:12,279 --> 01:13:15,439
I went there decades ago, and none of my alumni

1427
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:17,880
group seems to be all a flutter about it.

1428
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:21,119
Speaker 3: And have you discussed to opt out?

1429
01:13:21,199 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 10: How many guys sit out because they don't want to

1430
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,399
risk injury in these types of games?

1431
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:27,640
Speaker 1: Oh, it's crazy. And the amount of schools that are

1432
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:29,960
doing it. I'm not of schools, but I mean amount

1433
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:32,079
of players on every school is doing it for sure,

1434
01:13:32,159 --> 01:13:34,399
and it sounds like and again Willie Fritz, the U

1435
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:36,680
of H coaches, using one examples, asked if he is

1436
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,000
all the players are participating playing and he said yes,

1437
01:13:39,079 --> 01:13:40,840
but that could be that could change by the day.

1438
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,319
But yeah, it all depends on what your draft status

1439
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:44,560
is and whether or not you're going to head to

1440
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:45,119
the portal or not.

1441
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1442
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:48,399
Speaker 10: I mean, like Jeremy I love, There's no chance in

1443
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:51,600
hell he plays. Probably some of the ife many of

1444
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:53,840
the linemen are going pro, they're going to sit out,

1445
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:56,319
So I think that kind of lessens some of the.

1446
01:13:57,199 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 2: The jazz of it.

1447
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:02,199
Speaker 10: On the other hand, the only if Texas and Notre

1448
01:14:02,319 --> 01:14:05,520
Dame went and played in like South Florida or you know,

1449
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:08,439
the Bahamas or something, I think the alums would would

1450
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:09,920
get a kick out of that. But other than that,

1451
01:14:10,039 --> 01:14:12,479
I think the Bowl games are losing irrelevance, you know

1452
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:15,520
by the year yep. And also if they go on,

1453
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:18,640
if you're in the CFP, can the alums afford to

1454
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:22,000
go to three games? I mean, if you keep going on,

1455
01:14:22,159 --> 01:14:23,680
they're going to just keep milking you. You know, the

1456
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,800
upricing for flights and hotels and everything.

1457
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you got them.

1458
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:30,119
Speaker 10: I would imagine that's talking to some main m friends

1459
01:14:30,159 --> 01:14:32,399
and they're like, well, I'm you go to the quarterfinal

1460
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:33,159
and then that's about it.

1461
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 1: Well, that's what we were talking about just earlier. Is that, Yeah,

1462
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:39,239
is that you're asking there are a lot of people, frankly,

1463
01:14:39,359 --> 01:14:42,039
Matt that are skipping the first round matchups because of

1464
01:14:42,079 --> 01:14:43,880
the fact that they want to save their money, especially

1465
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:45,479
they think they got a chance to play for the

1466
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:49,119
whole thing. I mean, even though Indiana is widely respected

1467
01:14:49,239 --> 01:14:52,600
and beat Ohio State, I think, frankly, perhaps more people

1468
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,640
are nervous about facing Ohio State for the championship than

1469
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,279
they would in the end, that maybe Indiana isn't this knockdown,

1470
01:14:58,359 --> 01:15:01,079
drag out defending number one t So if you have

1471
01:15:01,159 --> 01:15:03,600
a hope that you can get there, why not save

1472
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,479
your money for a semi final game around Christmas time

1473
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:08,000
as compared to trying to spend money here in the

1474
01:15:08,039 --> 01:15:10,840
next ten days. Yeah, exactly.

1475
01:15:11,119 --> 01:15:13,079
Speaker 10: And lastly about Notre Dame schedule, I mean, then these

1476
01:15:13,079 --> 01:15:17,239
things are made years and years out, and when I

1477
01:15:17,359 --> 01:15:19,119
was there in the eighties, you know, we played Michigan.

1478
01:15:19,199 --> 01:15:20,520
Michigan was the first game of the year, and that

1479
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,039
almost to find your season. So I don't know who

1480
01:15:23,159 --> 01:15:25,000
caved first, us or them, But then they put in

1481
01:15:25,039 --> 01:15:27,680
an appellation State or maybe we played Central Michigan or

1482
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,119
whatever to kind of get you a tune up game.

1483
01:15:31,079 --> 01:15:32,600
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

1484
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,600
Speaker 10: I think our aut of Coron Conference could be better.

1485
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,880
As far as joining the Big Ten back in the

1486
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,600
day boat, Shambeckler and the people at Michigan didn't want

1487
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:42,399
us in the Big Ten. They actually blocked those initial

1488
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:46,039
movements and discussions. So and now that the Big Ten

1489
01:15:46,159 --> 01:15:47,640
is coast to coast, I don't really want to be

1490
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:49,399
in the Big Ten. For frankly, I'd rather be in

1491
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:49,960
the SEC.

1492
01:15:50,399 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's what that was a lot. I again,

1493
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:56,319
if Notre Dame, I mean I Notre Dame has no interest,

1494
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:58,840
why would you thank you for the phone call? I

1495
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:02,640
wouldn't share the money. Now. Will Notre Dame be up

1496
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:04,720
their schedule? Well, I don't know how. You know what

1497
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:06,520
they can do with but the acc Look, the acc

1498
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:12,560
rossy is what Miami usually it's Clemson, Florida State is down,

1499
01:16:14,159 --> 01:16:17,159
Syracuse down, Boston College down. I mean, you had Duke

1500
01:16:17,239 --> 01:16:21,680
in Virginia playing for the championship. That's not necessarily carrying

1501
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:23,640
the flag for the for the conference. You know what

1502
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:26,439
I mean? I maybe have a basketball that sounds pretty good. Yeah,

1503
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:28,479
football not so much. But you don't mean I mean

1504
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,920
it's not overly sexy. No, so it means you gotta

1505
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:35,279
if you're gonna now has brought up before. If you're

1506
01:16:35,319 --> 01:16:37,960
in the top twelve next year, Notre Dame, you're getting in.

1507
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:40,920
There is a new caveat that allows you in that

1508
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,199
there will not be a debate next year. You're getting in.

1509
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:48,800
So maybe you schedule kind of as you are play

1510
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,119
your for ACC say, hey, that's the rules we signed

1511
01:16:51,199 --> 01:16:53,760
up with. Do you do you reinvest in the Notre

1512
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,319
Dame the USC game? Do you always play Navy? I

1513
01:16:56,399 --> 01:16:59,439
mean look A and M and Notre Dame played, So

1514
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:03,199
that's good, right, Yes, nothing wrong with the home and homes. Yeah,

1515
01:17:03,279 --> 01:17:10,000
big series. Yeah, but I yeah the bulls, by the way, yeah,

1516
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:13,720
they're not very sexy. In fact, they're getting what is

1517
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,960
what's when something is getting sexier? What it's getting anti sexier?

1518
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:23,119
I guess that. Yeah, fatter. Here's our schools that are

1519
01:17:23,159 --> 01:17:27,119
not playing in bowl games this year, Notre Dame, k State, Kansas,

1520
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,880
Iowa State, Florida State, Auburn, U c F, Baylor, Rutgers,

1521
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,880
Temple in the roadcast. So who's left going to play

1522
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:35,720
in these games? You got Rice is playing in a five,

1523
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:37,119
five and seven. They're going to a bowl game. Oh

1524
01:17:37,159 --> 01:17:41,039
really yeah, playing in Texas Bowl. Wait playing what in

1525
01:17:41,119 --> 01:17:44,880
the Texas excuse me, the Armed Forces Bowl? Okay against

1526
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:48,800
Texas State. That's a huge one. Son, So let me

1527
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:51,680
get this straight. If you're telling me that Baylor's not playing,

1528
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:56,800
UCF's not playing Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas. That's five

1529
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,159
from the big twelve that are not playing, they're gonna

1530
01:17:59,199 --> 01:18:01,600
get Are they all getting? They would? Why would you

1531
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:02,760
find two and not the other ones?

1532
01:18:03,119 --> 01:18:03,319
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1533
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:06,399
Speaker 1: Oh, you know what though, Baylor was five and seven,

1534
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:09,520
so they so they probably you know what, they were

1535
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:12,880
eligible because there were not enough teams, and they said,

1536
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:17,199
we're not gonna do it. This is a mess. It's good.

1537
01:18:17,199 --> 01:18:19,119
There's been too many Bowl games as it is. I'm

1538
01:18:19,159 --> 01:18:21,359
sorry the system has been broken. I like I like this.

1539
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:24,279
This is chaos from a system that was already way

1540
01:18:24,359 --> 01:18:29,000
too broken, and we're uncovering the warts. We're turning over

1541
01:18:29,079 --> 01:18:31,640
this rotten log and we're seeing a munch of termites

1542
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:35,960
and bugs. Let's go. So do we just tell bulls

1543
01:18:36,039 --> 01:18:40,239
by because the ESPN funds them ESPN but see ESPN

1544
01:18:40,279 --> 01:18:42,920
funds of ross because they want programming to put their

1545
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:47,560
ads on somehow they still get ready, xyz uh Grocery

1546
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:53,119
store yes, spends twenty million dollars on a package of games. Right,

1547
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:55,039
we gotta have games to be able to put those

1548
01:18:55,039 --> 01:18:55,640
commercials in.

1549
01:18:56,239 --> 01:18:56,359
Speaker 11: Now.

1550
01:18:56,399 --> 01:19:00,199
Speaker 1: Am I watching the book over tom Bowl? No? No, oh,

1551
01:19:00,359 --> 01:19:05,880
but they're looking for eyes. Uh yeah, I'm trying to

1552
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:11,800
see Cricket Celebration Bowl. You know, the Bahamas balls gone,

1553
01:19:14,239 --> 01:19:17,239
the bucked up LA Bowl? Is this real? Am I

1554
01:19:17,319 --> 01:19:19,399
being trolled? Did I not go to ESPN dot Town?

1555
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 5: You know it?

1556
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:21,319
Speaker 1: You know it used to be the Jimmy Kimmel Ball.

1557
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:25,520
He took the name off of that. Not that crazy.

1558
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,279
The Myrtle Beach Bowl. I never heard of this. You know,

1559
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:31,600
the met the Matt Thomas Las Vegas balls coming up?

1560
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,720
Was that right? Yeah? Was it? I don't know. I'm

1561
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:36,760
just saying that with you versus the craps, if you

1562
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,479
versus dice me, versus matchup me versus seventy five year

1563
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:42,359
old blue hairs. Oh my gosh, that was in. That

1564
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:44,039
was in the Lake Church. I'll put a Lake Charles

1565
01:19:44,119 --> 01:19:46,640
Bowl together. That'd be awesome. Hi Jim, you're on seven ninety.

1566
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:49,359
Good morning, Hi guys.

1567
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:53,079
Speaker 11: I'm a little depressed about what happened yesterday. Okay, I

1568
01:19:53,199 --> 01:19:58,119
congratulate all the teams that got in, uh, Notre Dame.

1569
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:01,520
First of all, they don't join a conference and that

1570
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:05,199
goes way back to you know, the Irish Catholic thing

1571
01:20:05,359 --> 01:20:09,039
when they you know, when Irish Catholic was discriminated against.

1572
01:20:09,079 --> 01:20:12,239
And another thing maybe you didn't know is Notre Dame

1573
01:20:12,319 --> 01:20:16,840
didn't start accepting bull bids till like the seventies because

1574
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,960
if it wasn't for the national championship, they didn't accept it.

1575
01:20:20,119 --> 01:20:23,720
So you can look that up. Another thing is, you

1576
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:26,720
know they say they haven't done anything. Well, I mean,

1577
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:30,600
they beat Georgia last year, they went to the championship game.

1578
01:20:31,359 --> 01:20:35,359
Another thing is they voted on this to not play

1579
01:20:35,399 --> 01:20:38,000
in a ball and they decided not to. And I

1580
01:20:38,079 --> 01:20:42,439
think the recruiting class is pretty good this year. I'm

1581
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:46,880
just I'm disappointed that they were ranked ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth,

1582
01:20:47,159 --> 01:20:48,760
ninth and then they're out.

1583
01:20:49,319 --> 01:20:50,159
Speaker 7: I'm okay with that.

1584
01:20:50,279 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 11: I think Alabama got screwed last year. I'm just I

1585
01:20:54,039 --> 01:20:58,039
don't know. I just am disappointed. And I'm not saying

1586
01:20:58,119 --> 01:21:00,560
it's right. You love them or you hate them, but

1587
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:05,960
Notre Dame can draw and they were favored. Vegas had

1588
01:21:06,039 --> 01:21:10,039
him favored five and a half against Miami, three points

1589
01:21:10,079 --> 01:21:15,159
against Alabama, and I forget the other team nine against Oklahoma.

1590
01:21:15,199 --> 01:21:17,880
If they would have played Vegas had it that way,

1591
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:19,319
and you can look it up. You don't have to

1592
01:21:19,399 --> 01:21:22,439
trust what I say. So they were a decent team.

1593
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:26,119
They were a good football team. And I'm a Texas guy,

1594
01:21:26,279 --> 01:21:28,640
so I just grew up my dad. He went to

1595
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,359
UT but he was a Notre Dame guy. We're just

1596
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:35,399
you know, we like Notre Dame. But just disappointing. But

1597
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,479
that's the way it goes. And I wish I'm happy

1598
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:42,760
about you of H this season. Always loved U of H,

1599
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:46,760
Dandy Davis, Billy Yeoman, always love, always loved falling you

1600
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:50,199
of H. I liked Texas and I root for Texas teams.

1601
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:55,479
I'm just disappointed in the way it went down. And

1602
01:21:56,159 --> 01:21:58,680
you're who was the head guy. I think we beat

1603
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:02,960
Arkansas team fifty six to thirteen at third place. I

1604
01:22:03,079 --> 01:22:06,600
know they're not that good, but you know, come on, all.

1605
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 1: Right, thank you, thank you for the phone call. Appreciate

1606
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,399
it very much. All the good comments there. Uh yeah,

1607
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,760
that's if you were to pull I have got a

1608
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:19,079
few Notre Dame friends on Facebook and they're And the

1609
01:22:19,199 --> 01:22:22,560
number one argument was you had us in front of Miami.

1610
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,000
You can't flip flop it. We didn't do anything to

1611
01:22:26,079 --> 01:22:28,600
play a game. Miami didn't play any huh. And whether

1612
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,239
we're tiebreakers or not, you still had one over the other.

1613
01:22:31,359 --> 01:22:32,680
And if one has to be better than the other,

1614
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:36,239
it's Underdame. Yeah, but you're I mean the counter argument

1615
01:22:36,279 --> 01:22:38,920
of courses, I mean, how can you how can you

1616
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:43,680
be mad to be put behind the team you lost too? Yeah,

1617
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,359
that's I mean scoreboard literally so the board. So then

1618
01:22:48,399 --> 01:22:50,000
the argument that would be what then you should have

1619
01:22:50,039 --> 01:22:51,479
had Miami in front of under Dame so you didn't

1620
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:54,039
get notre Dame fan mad at you? I know, well,

1621
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:59,600
Texas behind Oklahoma, Texas behind A and m they beat them.

1622
01:23:00,039 --> 01:23:02,159
How you feel about Michigan is you're ready for Texas Michigan.

1623
01:23:02,239 --> 01:23:04,960
I mean, I guess you're gonna go. I'm not gonna

1624
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:09,279
go to Orlando the Citrus Bowl, lovely in December. I'm good, right,

1625
01:23:10,079 --> 01:23:13,479
I'll watch it on TV. Listen here on seven ninety.

1626
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:18,000
I will Craig Way on the call. Do a great job. Yep,

1627
01:23:18,359 --> 01:23:20,680
say good night to this one. Give you every high

1628
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:25,960
school player for Michigan Grand Rapids, Dearborn Detroit, maybe uh, Lavonia.

1629
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,359
I'm be having more Michigan Warren, you know, more than

1630
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:31,439
nice Jarling Heights where I'm from. You spend some time

1631
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:33,560
up there or something. I was born there. Yeah, okay,

1632
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,920
another one bites the dust said five weeks in a row.

1633
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:47,000
Sports Rvy York Texans are going to the playoffs. Not guaranteed,

1634
01:23:47,039 --> 01:23:53,600
but pretty much unless it would be a depressing collapse. Yes,

1635
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:56,319
it's not gonna happen though, because they have the best

1636
01:23:56,600 --> 01:24:02,720
defense in football, the best defense in Texan's history, and

1637
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,000
I will go ahead and say it the best defense

1638
01:24:05,199 --> 01:24:09,880
in Houston professional football history, unless those Thunderbears teams are

1639
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,800
really shutting them down. Maddie. You know some Cougar football

1640
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:15,479
teams back in the ear ladies there, what they are

1641
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:15,880
you sure?

1642
01:24:16,359 --> 01:24:16,399
Speaker 6: No?

1643
01:24:17,159 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 1: Okay? That sounded good and came down by Cougars are

1644
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:21,800
gonna beat LSU in the in the Texas bull looking

1645
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:24,560
forward to that, okay, and we'll have it for you

1646
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:27,359
on December the twenty seventh, Big Sports Day the Rock.

1647
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,119
A good environment in Houston. It's fine, just filed you

1648
01:24:31,199 --> 01:24:34,039
know by bike tickets. Just go Cougar fans just go

1649
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:38,359
because look LSU fans, I mean they and Nelson do.

1650
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:42,760
There's a lot of there's a big base here in Houston. Yeah,

1651
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:44,439
we work with eighty percent of them. As matter of fact,

1652
01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:47,239
we're gonna have the building ourselves of iHeart employees. That's true,

1653
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:50,840
all right, that it's you know what's twelve nine. We

1654
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:52,039
got some phone calls to get to you, but first

1655
01:24:52,079 --> 01:24:56,079
we must present to you. Yes, use a dude, I

1656
01:24:56,279 --> 01:24:59,399
like you, Matt. Yes, we do lead with your Houston

1657
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:03,640
Texan defeating the Kansas City Chiefs twenty to ten last

1658
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:09,399
night in Arrowhead on the road five straight, slaying the

1659
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:15,119
proverbial Kansas City Chiefs dragon, knocking their playoff odds all

1660
01:25:15,159 --> 01:25:20,479
the way down to sixteen percent. Now by yards gained,

1661
01:25:21,119 --> 01:25:25,239
Texans actually lost their two seventy four to two sixty eight.

1662
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:27,960
Also didn't have as many first downs, but they won

1663
01:25:28,079 --> 01:25:33,000
the turnover battle three to zero. You also had a

1664
01:25:33,159 --> 01:25:36,600
dink from Harrison Butker to the right that helped out

1665
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:41,039
Pat Mahomes with his worst game as a professional, just

1666
01:25:41,159 --> 01:25:45,199
fourteen of thirty three with no touchdowns and three picks.

1667
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:50,119
Texans doing just enough on the backs of a dominant

1668
01:25:50,159 --> 01:25:52,319
defensive performance to get the job done. Where if we

1669
01:25:52,399 --> 01:25:55,039
heard that before? Great interception by Jalen Petrie with an

1670
01:25:55,039 --> 01:26:00,239
amazing helmet also sent Rashi Rice flying into the shadow realm. Yes,

1671
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:04,359
Travis Kelsey bouncing one off his noggin. Yes, Rashet Rice,

1672
01:26:04,399 --> 01:26:07,520
by the way, left before media availability was available to

1673
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,039
the media in Kansas City, and Travis Kelsey was asked

1674
01:26:10,039 --> 01:26:11,840
two different times speak to the media, and he said, no,

1675
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:13,039
I'm getting ready for my wedding.

1676
01:26:13,199 --> 01:26:13,520
Speaker 2: Mmmm.

1677
01:26:14,239 --> 01:26:16,239
Speaker 1: He didn't say that. No, he didn't speak. I didn't

1678
01:26:16,239 --> 01:26:19,600
say I'm stamping invitations. He's getting married about twenty minutes

1679
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:22,000
from where Carter's gonna go to school, and Carlin wants

1680
01:26:22,039 --> 01:26:23,359
me to get an invite for the wedding. I'm like,

1681
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:25,680
I don't. I've got connections. I don't have great connections. Like,

1682
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:27,399
come on, Matt, you're gonna talk to you people at

1683
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:31,840
UMG or something. I could try. Yeah, don't you know

1684
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:34,359
people who know people. I'm trying, all right, continue one,

1685
01:26:35,199 --> 01:26:37,560
all right. Elsewhere on the news at noon, you had

1686
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:42,359
other big NFL action as the Buffalo Bills came storming back.

1687
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:44,800
I mean really did literally a storm.

1688
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was.

1689
01:26:46,199 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 1: It was snowing. It was only twenty nine degrees, but

1690
01:26:48,039 --> 01:26:49,720
it looked like it was snowing hard like effect. I

1691
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,920
don't know what the feelds like temperature was. Snow angels.

1692
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:54,319
They kept trying to clear the eye of the snow,

1693
01:26:54,359 --> 01:26:56,800
but it kept snowing. That lake effects now snow so

1694
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,199
fast you can't you can't clear it in time. Thirty

1695
01:26:59,399 --> 01:27:02,279
nine thirty four of the Bills get the victory over

1696
01:27:02,359 --> 01:27:05,319
the Bengals. Elsewhere in the AFC, A big one, Matthew

1697
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:09,680
with AFC South implications. A thirty six to nineteen victory

1698
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:16,039
for the Jacksonville Jaguars. How are the Jaguars nine to four? Frankly,

1699
01:27:16,119 --> 01:27:20,760
it's their defense and Travis Antienne and of course Daniel

1700
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:25,119
Jones going down with an achilles injury. Riley Leonard your

1701
01:27:25,199 --> 01:27:29,079
favorite Notre Dame quarterback, Matt Rods. Leonard is a guy

1702
01:27:29,359 --> 01:27:33,039
that your daughter went out on a first date with Leonard.

1703
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:36,640
It's an enterprising young man. As an enterprising young man,

1704
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:42,680
what isn't enterprise and enough? As the Jaguars stomp the Colts,

1705
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,000
they are a game up on the Texans. Matt. Here's

1706
01:27:46,039 --> 01:27:51,159
their remaining schedule home for the Jets, yep at the

1707
01:27:51,279 --> 01:27:56,560
Broncos YEP. Could be a loss at the Colts and

1708
01:27:56,640 --> 01:28:01,359
then home for the Titans. Three and one probably sounds

1709
01:28:01,399 --> 01:28:03,560
about right. So that means that Texans would have to

1710
01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:06,800
win out in order to tie the Jaguars, and then

1711
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:09,640
it would come down to conference record record within the

1712
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,279
AMC South. I'm sorry AFC South record, that's my divisional

1713
01:28:12,359 --> 01:28:15,279
record as of right now. Both teams only have one

1714
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:17,920
divisional loss, and it would go to conference record right

1715
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:21,199
after that. I think so Texans do have a leg up.

1716
01:28:21,239 --> 01:28:23,960
They are seven and two in conference, Jaguars are six

1717
01:28:24,039 --> 01:28:27,680
and two and Texans only have one NFC game left,

1718
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:30,199
but the Jaguars have none, so that could end up

1719
01:28:31,279 --> 01:28:33,159
tied as well. By the way, this is a non

1720
01:28:33,279 --> 01:28:37,399
sizzle game coming up with Arizona was horrendous yesterday against

1721
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:41,239
the Los Angeles Rams. They allowed pooking the Coogan to

1722
01:28:41,279 --> 01:28:44,319
the end zone twice. Matthew Stafford, you happy about that.

1723
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:46,800
I'm very happy about I figured you were. It was

1724
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:49,319
first time he caught two touchdown passes this season. That's

1725
01:28:49,319 --> 01:28:52,039
strange for him and Jackson Smith and Jake my Belly.

1726
01:28:52,319 --> 01:28:55,359
DeVante Adams got like fifteen touchdowns that's true. That is true.

1727
01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:58,359
It's ridiculous all right, making me upset. Jeff Can't is

1728
01:28:58,399 --> 01:29:00,840
in the Baseball Hall of Fame. L Murphy is not.

1729
01:29:01,279 --> 01:29:05,920
Don Mantley is not. Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds gets

1730
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:07,960
sent to the Veterans Committee now because they have such

1731
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,800
a low vote. That's a shame. How the Vet's gonna

1732
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:14,399
feel about these users at getting in? Probably not. I

1733
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,239
think I think Clemens and Bonds should be in, and

1734
01:29:17,359 --> 01:29:18,960
the Sports are v Hall of Fame they are in.

1735
01:29:19,239 --> 01:29:21,920
Jeff Kent is out. Jeff Kent is out in the

1736
01:29:22,079 --> 01:29:24,479
nice Person's Hall of Fame, yes, and in Baseball Hall

1737
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:27,119
of Fame, the Hall of very good for me, there's

1738
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:30,920
rong with that. Yeah, one time MVP, four time All

1739
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:34,000
Star finally did very well for himself. Sure, a great mustache,

1740
01:29:34,199 --> 01:29:36,119
not a good person. But in the mustache Hall of Fame,

1741
01:29:36,279 --> 01:29:39,399
for sure. It's frothy, Yes, got layers to it. Sure,

1742
01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:42,279
why not not in the mustache Hall of Fame? Read Shepherd.

1743
01:29:43,199 --> 01:29:45,359
I think he's cutting he cut it off, Yeah, he's done.

1744
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:49,960
He had a nice right hand. Of course, the Rockets lost,

1745
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:51,960
but that's a different nusue of a different time. Yes,

1746
01:29:52,119 --> 01:29:54,119
Rockets will play until Thursday. The la Clips will be

1747
01:29:54,159 --> 01:29:56,600
in town minus Chris Ball. They got three days to

1748
01:29:56,640 --> 01:29:59,439
lick their wounds. Mavericks have been actually playing decent ball. Yeah,

1749
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:03,199
they won four to five. I think Cooper flag Anthony Davis.

1750
01:30:03,279 --> 01:30:05,720
Maybe that team's not so bad. Ad was good, Yes,

1751
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:10,359
he was good? All right? Uh Kurt Pavaqua, No, that's

1752
01:30:10,399 --> 01:30:13,039
not Kurpavaqua. That's not I'm gonna get wrong. The ad

1753
01:30:13,159 --> 01:30:19,560
at Ulavaqua Pavokua was a former Pete Pavoqua. Sure, why not?

1754
01:30:20,239 --> 01:30:22,000
Is the a d at Notre Dame? He has some

1755
01:30:22,159 --> 01:30:24,479
We've got some quotes for him about who he's mad at.

1756
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:28,239
Let's look at the mirror note. Do you want to

1757
01:30:28,239 --> 01:30:31,000
take a guess who he's mad at? Everyone else? Yes,

1758
01:30:31,079 --> 01:30:34,079
but one group of people in particular. We'll tell you

1759
01:30:34,079 --> 01:30:35,960
about that next. Plus we're gonna talk to Dave about

1760
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:38,880
the Texans, Uh Scott about Notre Dame and Yankees. Keith

1761
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:42,039
has an RB steak review on these steak nuggets. That's

1762
01:30:42,079 --> 01:30:44,000
what the Matt Thomas show and was Ross's ball about

1763
01:30:44,039 --> 01:30:47,760
right there? Food Reviews and Sports Topics seven one three,

1764
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:51,119
two one two five seven ninety. That's seven one three

1765
01:30:51,359 --> 01:30:55,000
two one two five seven ninety two. All right, I

1766
01:30:55,039 --> 01:30:56,920
got a lot of folks that are patially wedding really quick.

1767
01:30:56,960 --> 01:30:58,279
I want to run this fight because I think it's

1768
01:30:58,319 --> 01:31:02,159
good information. So the athletic director if Notre Dame is

1769
01:31:02,199 --> 01:31:04,880
making the national media tour because he's got to explain

1770
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:06,760
why squad is not going to the Bowl and how

1771
01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:10,319
mad he is. I'm going to paraphrase some quotes that

1772
01:31:10,399 --> 01:31:13,159
were taking off of the ESPN story. This is Pete Beverlockwall,

1773
01:31:13,159 --> 01:31:16,720
who's the athletic director at Notre Dame. ROSSI I asked

1774
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:20,039
you before the break who he's mad at. He is

1775
01:31:20,319 --> 01:31:25,359
really mad at, of all people, the Atlantic Coast Conference

1776
01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:30,000
really why he is upset with how the ACC pushed

1777
01:31:30,039 --> 01:31:33,840
for Miami over Notre Dame leading up to the selections quote.

1778
01:31:35,399 --> 01:31:38,159
We were mystify by the actions of the conference to

1779
01:31:38,279 --> 01:31:43,119
attack their biggest really partner in football and not a

1780
01:31:43,199 --> 01:31:46,439
member and a member of their conference in twenty four

1781
01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:50,800
of the other sports except the big one. So we

1782
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:52,079
have some audio if you want me to just play

1783
01:31:52,119 --> 01:32:02,920
that please. They have certainly done permanent damage to the

1784
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:07,800
relationship between the conference and Notre Dame. Last month, the

1785
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:11,680
ACC's official x account posted a side by side comparison

1786
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:14,319
of Miami and Notre Dame. Oh my god. He may

1787
01:32:14,359 --> 01:32:17,039
have a point on this. In the receipts he says,

1788
01:32:17,359 --> 01:32:20,479
it says no hypotheticals, just facts. Is Miami beating Notre

1789
01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:27,199
Dame twenty seven to twenty four. The ACC Network also

1790
01:32:28,359 --> 01:32:31,439
played the game on a loop twelve times between Thursday

1791
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:35,239
and Friday. O my god, that's great. So nobody's watching

1792
01:32:35,279 --> 01:32:36,159
the ACC network?

1793
01:32:36,399 --> 01:32:36,640
Speaker 5: That is?

1794
01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:40,680
Speaker 1: That is true? We didn't this is more bebeloqwa here.

1795
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:42,840
We didn't appreciate the fact that we were singled out

1796
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:47,199
repeatedly and compared to Miami, not by Miami. Miami. Is

1797
01:32:47,279 --> 01:32:49,439
they were right to do that, but it raised a

1798
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:52,399
lot of eyebrows here that the conference was taking shots

1799
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:56,720
at us. MMMM asked about the relationship between the Conference

1800
01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:58,880
and Notre Dame right now quote, I would just say

1801
01:32:59,039 --> 01:33:03,199
it's been strained. You never say irreputable. But it's opened

1802
01:33:03,239 --> 01:33:08,479
our eyes and it's caught our attention. We're confused, we're sad,

1803
01:33:09,079 --> 01:33:13,039
and we're frustrated and confused. What are you confused about?

1804
01:33:13,159 --> 01:33:15,119
I don't know. The committee had to take one and

1805
01:33:15,239 --> 01:33:16,880
not on the other. They don't get any of your

1806
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:21,520
money from football? What is confusing? They beat you head

1807
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:28,880
to head? What is confusing? All this whining? It's seriously,

1808
01:33:29,079 --> 01:33:31,279
this is epically this is epic whining.

1809
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:31,760
Speaker 4: I know.

1810
01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:32,479
Speaker 2: And maybe.

1811
01:33:34,239 --> 01:33:36,279
Speaker 1: What if we did it? What if we were we're

1812
01:33:36,319 --> 01:33:38,199
notre day lums? Would I be spending four hours a

1813
01:33:38,279 --> 01:33:38,600
day on this?

1814
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:39,199
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1815
01:33:40,279 --> 01:33:42,039
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not crying. I know there's a lot

1816
01:33:42,039 --> 01:33:45,319
of Longhorn fans crying and whining, but it is what

1817
01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:53,000
it is ended up behind BYU Man who they're mad

1818
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:55,960
and then said no. So that what they did is

1819
01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:57,720
they said no to the bowl game. Was they're thinking, well,

1820
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,760
most bowl games aren't as PN that we're that we're

1821
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:03,199
gonna take away television ratings.

1822
01:34:03,239 --> 01:34:03,359
Speaker 8: You know.

1823
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:06,279
Speaker 1: ESPN said we're fine, They're gonna be all right. They're

1824
01:34:06,279 --> 01:34:08,720
gonna make it the wrong repo. They'll make some more

1825
01:34:08,800 --> 01:34:12,680
cuts so they can pay Steven A. Smith and Pat McAfee. Yeah,

1826
01:34:14,039 --> 01:34:15,399
all right, that's all I want to give you on that.

1827
01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:16,720
I just want to tell you that that there is

1828
01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:20,479
a lot of a little bunch of wine. He is pissed.

1829
01:34:22,079 --> 01:34:25,319
Is it the whiniest sport college football on their fan bases.

1830
01:34:26,079 --> 01:34:30,199
Everybody's got whiny fans. Everybody does. But college football seems

1831
01:34:30,239 --> 01:34:32,840
like another level. Like in basketball, if our school doesn't

1832
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:35,000
make the tournament, we're mad for a day. Yeah, but this,

1833
01:34:35,239 --> 01:34:36,640
this feels like this is gonna go for a while.

1834
01:34:37,039 --> 01:34:37,640
Speaker 2: Do you guys?

1835
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:41,960
Speaker 1: They're literally declining bowl games in the eighties on a

1836
01:34:42,359 --> 01:34:44,840
on a press tour. He literally is on a press tour.

1837
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:51,880
It's crazy. Let's go to Dave on seven ninety Dave,

1838
01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:53,840
thank you for holding in. Good afternoon to you.

1839
01:34:55,920 --> 01:35:03,359
Speaker 12: Good afternoon, Matt, and good afternoon Rothe Hello h Hello. Well,

1840
01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:06,640
let me tell you a little bit about the college

1841
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:11,600
football system. It is totally broken U I L. And

1842
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:16,359
players getting getting paid millions of dollars. The whole system

1843
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:21,960
is broken. It's broken. And that means and that leads

1844
01:35:22,039 --> 01:35:28,560
me to to my Texans comments. Uh, well, I have

1845
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:32,640
I have a question and then a comment. My question

1846
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:36,319
is to both of you guys, is the Houston Texans

1847
01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:39,159
defense a super Bowl caliber defense?

1848
01:35:39,279 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 11: Yes?

1849
01:35:40,079 --> 01:35:44,119
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, because they're number one in points and

1850
01:35:44,119 --> 01:35:47,479
their number one in yards. You forced three interceptions yesterday.

1851
01:35:51,640 --> 01:36:00,079
Speaker 12: They forced three interceptions. That's awesome. Three interceptions. And in

1852
01:36:00,199 --> 01:36:04,640
my comment about the Texans. I just believe that when

1853
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:08,880
they get into the postseason. I don't think New England

1854
01:36:09,319 --> 01:36:12,920
or Denver is gonna want to be able to face

1855
01:36:13,039 --> 01:36:18,119
them because of c J. Stout and that Texans defense.

1856
01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, thanks David, Thank you, Dave. Yeah, I

1857
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,680
think the Texans are going to be dangerous in the playoffs.

1858
01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:26,439
I'm next to Like I said, I'm not saying their favorites,

1859
01:36:26,479 --> 01:36:28,159
but is there anybody that's really scaring you? Like they

1860
01:36:28,159 --> 01:36:31,079
don't have a shot. No, because of this defense. I

1861
01:36:31,159 --> 01:36:32,920
think New England and Never will get the most run

1862
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:35,079
because they've got these hillasis and long winning streaks and

1863
01:36:35,079 --> 01:36:37,039
they're going to crush their division. They should be but

1864
01:36:37,119 --> 01:36:43,920
they and they and they deserve those props. But Ravens lost.

1865
01:36:44,119 --> 01:36:47,039
If the technic are gonna be a problem, this is

1866
01:36:47,119 --> 01:36:49,800
a scary part. Is I brought this up again. You're

1867
01:36:50,039 --> 01:36:55,039
putting so much pressure you can't allow Look, for instance,

1868
01:36:55,079 --> 01:36:57,000
if you give up twenty one points in the game,

1869
01:36:57,920 --> 01:36:59,800
that's not a terrible defensive performance.

1870
01:37:00,359 --> 01:37:00,399
Speaker 5: No.

1871
01:37:02,119 --> 01:37:03,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Texans can put up twenty

1872
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:07,039
one points unless they get incredibly short field or they

1873
01:37:07,079 --> 01:37:10,159
get a defensive turnover or a special teams touchdown. Now,

1874
01:37:10,199 --> 01:37:14,119
they did put up thirty six against the Jaguars. They did,

1875
01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:16,640
but look at trying to remember if there was there

1876
01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:18,359
was a punt return score there or something like that.

1877
01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:21,000
I can't remember. Well, there was a touchdown late that

1878
01:37:21,119 --> 01:37:23,479
was interception that remember that tick that? That was that

1879
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:25,000
when at the final play the game or was that

1880
01:37:25,039 --> 01:37:26,800
another game? Yeah, that's right. It was a pick six

1881
01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:28,399
at the end that was six points on top. So

1882
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:30,920
it was thirty to twenty six, okay, And so they

1883
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:34,159
scored thirty points in that game with Davy Mills. Davy

1884
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:38,039
we're calling him Davy Mills. Yeah, why not? Davy? Does

1885
01:37:38,079 --> 01:37:41,600
he know this yet? Davy Millsy, No, you just cut Mills.

1886
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:43,439
It would have been better. Davy's the heart is the one.

1887
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:46,600
All right. Let's take a look at the last eight weeks. Okay, okay,

1888
01:37:47,920 --> 01:37:50,760
twenty six against the Titans. That doesn't count. Why not?

1889
01:37:52,399 --> 01:37:55,840
Although the Titans beat the Browns yesterday see should wear sanders,

1890
01:37:56,760 --> 01:37:58,680
Texans had put forty four up against the Ravens. With

1891
01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:01,680
the Ravens at a CFL defense. Oh see, now see,

1892
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:05,359
you're just not forty favorite. Maybe twenty seven nineteen of

1893
01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:09,479
the Seahawks lost, seas are good twenty six against the Niners,

1894
01:38:11,359 --> 01:38:15,520
eighteen fifteen, lost to Denver at home, score thirty six

1895
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:20,560
against the Jags, one at Tennessee with sixteen, one at

1896
01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:23,880
home against Tennessee with built Buffalo by with twenty three,

1897
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:28,000
one with twenty points in Indianapolis, one with twenty points

1898
01:38:28,039 --> 01:38:30,840
at the Chiefs. It's gonna be like twenty twenty to sixteen.

1899
01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:34,239
That's Texans football. How they play. Would just win, That's

1900
01:38:34,239 --> 01:38:36,319
how they coach. If I were the Texans, I would

1901
01:38:36,359 --> 01:38:38,680
feed like for instance, you know there's like different classes

1902
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:42,640
of food and hotels and airfare. Give them the first

1903
01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:46,680
class airfare, give them the better meals, give them bigger beds,

1904
01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:48,840
give them better you know, like sweets. They need to

1905
01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:50,960
rest because they got a lot of heavy lifting to

1906
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:52,359
do between now and the end of the Texans are

1907
01:38:52,359 --> 01:38:55,439
gonna really go to the super Bowl. A lot of

1908
01:38:55,479 --> 01:39:00,720
heavy lifting they I think we know that that's gonna recipe.

1909
01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:03,199
Every team's got like a recipe for success, things that

1910
01:39:03,279 --> 01:39:05,039
we want, the way that we want this to go.

1911
01:39:05,359 --> 01:39:09,279
The script, if you will, that's Demiko Ryan's script. We're

1912
01:39:09,279 --> 01:39:12,199
gonna play conservative, We're gonna kick the ball on four downs.

1913
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:15,199
We're not gonna get aggressive. We're gonna try to win

1914
01:39:15,239 --> 01:39:17,880
with our defense. But that offense we saw yesterday with

1915
01:39:18,199 --> 01:39:21,439
two to three incredible c J. Straw throws, Yes, Chris

1916
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:24,079
Jones running amok, a lot of three and outs in

1917
01:39:24,399 --> 01:39:28,039
three yards of carry. There's your offense. That's that's not changing.

1918
01:39:28,119 --> 01:39:31,239
It's got to be better. Yes, the offensive line is

1919
01:39:31,279 --> 01:39:32,960
getting a lot better now. They're probably gonna slip in

1920
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:35,560
the rankings. This way, you're pff Gray, pff Gray. Going

1921
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:37,720
back to the twenties, collins Worth owns it, so maybe

1922
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:39,640
it's true. He'll keep it up because he was there

1923
01:39:41,199 --> 01:39:44,840
on the phones next Keith Scott Scott and just Way

1924
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:48,079
is a guy's name, Way w a y. Maybe is

1925
01:39:48,119 --> 01:39:52,119
way Linn could be jamous. No, he wouldn't be calling.

1926
01:39:52,159 --> 01:39:54,520

Speaker 5: So?

1947
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:48,079
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's outs. Gosh, they are throwing the biggest

1948
01:40:48,159 --> 01:40:52,960
hissy fit. So what would make make you Morse mad?

1949
01:40:53,039 --> 01:40:56,239
The ACC tweet or the endless running in the Notre

1950
01:40:56,319 --> 01:40:59,800
Dame Miami game on ACC network? I mean, I mean

1951
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:03,760
they did. I mean nobody watching I have no clue

1952
01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:10,000
they did poke a little bit pretty funny. Well that's

1953
01:41:10,039 --> 01:41:12,960
like Texas USC on the Longhorn Network. Yeah, I missed

1954
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:16,520
the Longhorn Network. Let's uh, they ran an add actually

1955
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:19,119
the game a dk R Friday Long Horn network's not dead.

1956
01:41:19,159 --> 01:41:21,000
They still have the app and you can check scores

1957
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:24,439
and you know, get moundies or whatever. Scott on seven Scott,

1958
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:25,600
good afternoon to.

1959
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:31,439
Speaker 5: You, afternoon, gentlemen. He uh, I just wanted to touch

1960
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:35,359
base with Notre Dame. And you know, the crying meme

1961
01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:38,359
is is perfect for this. But you know, if you

1962
01:41:38,479 --> 01:41:41,920
look back, I think it was twenty twenty three, Georgia

1963
01:41:42,039 --> 01:41:45,039
was ranked number one in the nation. You know, the

1964
01:41:45,199 --> 01:41:49,079
question is do do do do the championships or the

1965
01:41:49,239 --> 01:41:53,279
conference championships mean anything right or should you be penalized,

1966
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:56,920
you know for losing? Well, george was number one, goes

1967
01:41:57,000 --> 01:42:01,119
In loses Alabama by three, kicked out of the college

1968
01:42:01,199 --> 01:42:06,039
football playoffs. Doesn't bitch too much. Excuse me, it doesn't

1969
01:42:06,079 --> 01:42:10,079
complain too much. And then FSU going f SU beat

1970
01:42:10,119 --> 01:42:13,279
them sixty three to three. So my question to you

1971
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:16,359
is does the conference championship in your opinion, does it

1972
01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:21,000
mean something? If it does, you know, the question is

1973
01:42:21,399 --> 01:42:23,800
why wouldn't Duke get in? You know, I get it

1974
01:42:24,039 --> 01:42:27,119
eight and five or whatever, but they won their conference championship,

1975
01:42:27,399 --> 01:42:29,920
So just well, I'm just a serious about that.

1976
01:42:30,159 --> 01:42:33,119
Speaker 1: Good Scott, Scott, thank you. The Scott, they could have

1977
01:42:33,199 --> 01:42:37,199
gotten in the But the current twelve team tournament says

1978
01:42:37,279 --> 01:42:42,439
the five highest ranked conferences conference champions, jay conference champions.

1979
01:42:42,439 --> 01:42:45,359
So if Duke was a very highly ranked they could

1980
01:42:45,359 --> 01:42:47,840
have gotten in. They were only held back because of

1981
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:51,000
their losses in their ranking. Was it because somebody screwed

1982
01:42:51,039 --> 01:42:53,000
them over? No, they somebody. I mean you have a

1983
01:42:53,039 --> 01:42:55,199
Sum Belt, you have an ACC, You've got an SEC,

1984
01:42:55,399 --> 01:42:59,239
You've got min American, you've got conference you. I mean

1985
01:42:59,279 --> 01:43:04,119
you have all these conferences. The CFP format says the

1986
01:43:04,239 --> 01:43:07,880
five best, and this particular year, the American had a

1987
01:43:07,960 --> 01:43:10,239
higher ranking and the Sun Belt had had a higher

1988
01:43:10,319 --> 01:43:13,319
ranking over a SEC. And that's why I want to

1989
01:43:13,399 --> 01:43:15,000
go ahead and guess that. I want to say that

1990
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:17,520
there's gonna be a secession. No, you can't, no name

1991
01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:21,239
Kansas seed from there's too many Olympic sports going on

1992
01:43:21,399 --> 01:43:25,800
in the SEC level. They can't they depend on them.

1993
01:43:26,199 --> 01:43:28,239
They need thats like you were saying that you didn't

1994
01:43:28,279 --> 01:43:29,520
believe they can go to the Big ten.

1995
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:31,239
Speaker 4: You can't.

1996
01:43:31,239 --> 01:43:33,800
Speaker 1: I can't imagine a Big Ten's like we'll take care

1997
01:43:33,880 --> 01:43:36,960
of you. Will they do that? Why not? You get

1998
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:39,680
that big fan base, you get that cash but I

1999
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:41,960
don't think Notre Dame would because you can't have that money.

2000
01:43:42,079 --> 01:43:45,000
But you can't have that conversation so fast. Batock would

2001
01:43:45,119 --> 01:43:47,079
not call the Big ten moments after this happens and hey,

2002
01:43:47,159 --> 01:43:49,359
we'll take you. We'll go in now. There's no way.

2003
01:43:49,479 --> 01:43:50,840
It was like the I mean, it feels like the

2004
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,800
PAC ten PAC twelve fell apart in like three days. Okay,

2005
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:56,239
so if so, you guess, can you even guess?

2006
01:43:56,279 --> 01:43:56,319
Speaker 6: What?

2007
01:43:56,439 --> 01:43:57,880
Speaker 1: What the what are they gonna do? Just gonna bitch

2008
01:43:57,880 --> 01:44:00,720
and moments I'm going to cry and wine some more. Wow,

2009
01:44:02,399 --> 01:44:04,800
that is incredible state their position. I don't know if

2010
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:06,399
the if there's I don't know if there's gonna be

2011
01:44:06,399 --> 01:44:09,720
any earth shattering news. We are we messed up, guys,

2012
01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:15,000
and we'll go ahead and accept bull bids are bad. No,

2013
01:44:15,279 --> 01:44:17,600
doesn't NBC want them to have a ball game. Nope,

2014
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:21,199
doesn't care because they don't care, gets them right. I

2015
01:44:21,239 --> 01:44:23,319
think CBS carries one Bowl game, and I think a

2016
01:44:23,359 --> 01:44:26,439
bayls is on ABC, ESPN, tn T carries some of

2017
01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:28,399
the first round games. Okay, would you see how that

2018
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:31,239
that lined out? What is Charles Barkley on the call?

2019
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:37,399
So they're Ernie Georgia is terrible. There are four CFP

2020
01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:42,800
quarterfinal games, you know, the five, seven, eight. The first

2021
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:46,439
two games are the best two. The last two games

2022
01:44:46,600 --> 01:44:49,800
are the are one involving Janis James Madison, one involving

2023
01:44:50,319 --> 01:44:52,359
two lane. You're saying, well, why would they do that

2024
01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:55,119
when you want to build a crescendo The same day,

2025
01:44:55,199 --> 01:44:58,439
there are a pair of NFL games. They do not

2026
01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:03,640
want to lose that television battle. They were already gonna

2027
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:06,880
lose it with James Madison and Chulane playing. So those

2028
01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:08,279
of you that are going to see A and M

2029
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:11,199
play in Miami, and those of you that are going

2030
01:45:11,239 --> 01:45:14,239
to see Clemson versus Oklahoma, those are the first two

2031
01:45:14,359 --> 01:45:16,640
games because they are not going to be opposite an

2032
01:45:16,720 --> 01:45:23,359
NFL game. So Alabama Oklahoma, Alabama Ocama. That's right. So

2033
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:28,000
savvy television partner tn T saying, we ain't taking the

2034
01:45:28,039 --> 01:45:31,239
loss of the old Fox Fox on college on NFL

2035
01:45:31,279 --> 01:45:37,479
football because the NFL football just said we'll put on anything.

2036
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:41,119
We don't care we'll beat you. By the way, how

2037
01:45:41,239 --> 01:45:47,399
is Bama in Texas is out because they lost to Florida.

2038
01:45:48,039 --> 01:45:53,520
Losing to Florida State as early ross very early and

2039
01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:57,239
losing to Oklahoma and then losing by twenty one to Georgia.

2040
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:01,319
I guess by playing the conference championship game, do they

2041
01:46:01,359 --> 01:46:04,720
have three top ten wins? Think so, oh, here it comes.

2042
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:08,560
I'm just asking that's a good question. I'm just happy.

2043
01:46:09,159 --> 01:46:11,560
I'm waiting for this all day. I'm asking questions. That's

2044
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:14,520
all Scott on seven on a high, Scott.

2045
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:18,359
Speaker 4: What's going on, Matt Ross so I could talk about

2046
01:46:18,359 --> 01:46:21,199
the college football stuff all day long. I'm very excited

2047
01:46:21,359 --> 01:46:26,239
for you of H to help me gain early revenge

2048
01:46:26,359 --> 01:46:29,239
on my now hated LSU Tigers. Since I'm a half

2049
01:46:29,359 --> 01:46:31,239
u of H half well miss fan, I'm super excited.

2050
01:46:32,279 --> 01:46:32,640
Speaker 2: We're here.

2051
01:46:32,720 --> 01:46:36,159
Speaker 1: We are here for you. I am going to be greeting.

2052
01:46:36,039 --> 01:46:39,760
Speaker 4: LSU at the airport. Maybe we'll see with a sweater

2053
01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:42,079
that I just purchased that says you can't turn a

2054
01:46:43,199 --> 01:46:47,079
hoe into a housewife. So I'm very excited. It's very

2055
01:46:47,119 --> 01:46:49,399
excited to welcome them to town. But I wanted to

2056
01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:52,399
talk about the game last night and give credit to

2057
01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:55,319
uh Tony Dungee. I will listened to like a Sunday

2058
01:46:55,399 --> 01:46:58,520
night football podcast that they did or during the week,

2059
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:02,000
and he predicted the Texans would win, and he predicted

2060
01:47:02,039 --> 01:47:04,960
the exact scene that would be the ended up being

2061
01:47:05,039 --> 01:47:06,600
the difference in the game. And why he said that

2062
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:09,560
they would do it, He said, Andy Reid, you know,

2063
01:47:10,039 --> 01:47:12,800
as much credit as he has built up in Kansas

2064
01:47:12,840 --> 01:47:15,640
City to last three lifetimes, last three lifetimes of coaching.

2065
01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:17,199
So I don't know if they're killing him today, but

2066
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:20,000
he said that they really should try and run the

2067
01:47:20,079 --> 01:47:22,359
ball and play conservative, but it's just not in his nature.

2068
01:47:22,399 --> 01:47:24,039
And eventually he's going to try to win the game

2069
01:47:24,119 --> 01:47:27,600
passing the ball, and that's exactly what that predicated, going

2070
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:29,479
for it on fourth down from the thirty yard line.

2071
01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:29,760
Speaker 11: I mean it.

2072
01:47:30,359 --> 01:47:32,760
Speaker 4: You know, you have a hard time blasting him because

2073
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:34,359
he's Andy Reid, but that was, I mean, just a

2074
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:37,079
horrible decision, absolutely horrible if you look at it from

2075
01:47:37,079 --> 01:47:40,840
the Chiefs perspective. I mean that our offense was doing

2076
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:44,439
absolutely nothing. You know, it felt like the next field

2077
01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:45,880
goal was going to win the game.

2078
01:47:46,079 --> 01:47:49,239
Speaker 1: Mm you give them at least a field goal by

2079
01:47:49,279 --> 01:47:51,960
the field position. I mean, so yeah, Rols. I had

2080
01:47:51,960 --> 01:47:54,439
a good debate about it earlier, and we're never going

2081
01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:57,720
to change other's minds. It was I'm right with your

2082
01:47:57,760 --> 01:48:02,199
with you, Scott. It was horrific, game changing, momentum shifting

2083
01:48:02,279 --> 01:48:05,119
and again I wish I could have called ROSSI when

2084
01:48:05,239 --> 01:48:08,239
it happened, because I'm not doing this after the play.

2085
01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:11,399
I thought it was a terrible play call to beginning with, way, way,

2086
01:48:11,880 --> 01:48:14,720
way too risky to do it, especially because the Texans offense,

2087
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:17,800
especially in that third quarter, had done nothing and to

2088
01:48:17,880 --> 01:48:20,800
pin them back. I will take Chris Jones trying to

2089
01:48:21,119 --> 01:48:24,960
go eighty yards try with Blitzen left and right as

2090
01:48:24,960 --> 01:48:26,520
compared to giving them a short field where they were

2091
01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:28,399
gifted a field goal and they went up scoring a touchdown.

2092
01:48:29,079 --> 01:48:31,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and to the Texans fans listening, which I am

2093
01:48:31,520 --> 01:48:33,960
as well too, that's not taking away credit for us too.

2094
01:48:34,359 --> 01:48:37,199
If the Chiefs make that decision against over seventy five

2095
01:48:37,239 --> 01:48:39,039
percent of the teams in the league, I believe they

2096
01:48:39,119 --> 01:48:41,600
probably do pick up the first down on that play

2097
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:44,159
first off, that doesn't guarantee them points anyways, They're only

2098
01:48:44,199 --> 01:48:46,199
at the thirty yard lives, so it wasn't the right decision.

2099
01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:49,239
But you do still give immense credit to our defense,

2100
01:48:49,279 --> 01:48:50,920
which I mean, you just can't say enough good things

2101
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:54,560
about for completely dominating not only that play, but the

2102
01:48:54,760 --> 01:48:55,199
entire game.

2103
01:48:55,439 --> 01:48:56,960
Speaker 1: Thanks Scott for the focal. And that's another thing Ross

2104
01:48:57,039 --> 01:48:58,159
that you and I did not talk about a couple

2105
01:48:58,199 --> 01:49:00,520
hours ago, is that if you want to the metrics

2106
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:02,960
of it, that's great, But that was also the Texans defense.

2107
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:04,600
It was a good defense. That was a team that

2108
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:07,399
that you and maybe not try that because you're not

2109
01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:10,159
going against a plane Jane Buffalo Bills defense. Yeah, but

2110
01:49:10,239 --> 01:49:13,159
the Chiefs are supposed to be able to get no

2111
01:49:13,239 --> 01:49:15,279
matter who, and they were. They averaged more than two

2112
01:49:15,359 --> 01:49:17,359
yards per play last night. I mean, they just did.

2113
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:20,560
So what I was kind of confused is Kareem Hunt

2114
01:49:20,760 --> 01:49:24,319
was doing very well in those short yard situations. I

2115
01:49:24,399 --> 01:49:26,720
don't know why they didn't run Kareem Hunt in that

2116
01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:29,960
situation to where the Texans were having some trouble stopping

2117
01:49:30,039 --> 01:49:31,840
him because he's such a strong, hard runner. It's like

2118
01:49:31,880 --> 01:49:34,319
the you know the old cliche, you need you need

2119
01:49:34,399 --> 01:49:35,840
one yard to get you three yards, you need five

2120
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:38,000
yards to get three yards. That's that's Kareem Hunt. You

2121
01:49:38,119 --> 01:49:40,279
get you three yards every time, no matter what. He's

2122
01:49:40,319 --> 01:49:42,840
just not gonna get you much more. Frankly, Mahomes was

2123
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:44,640
having success to running the football. You could have put

2124
01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:48,239
an RPO or something and got him the first down. Generally,

2125
01:49:48,279 --> 01:49:50,439
why the analytics say go for the most part is

2126
01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:53,520
because you when you have the ball. I mean, it's

2127
01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:57,399
very simple. Computers are very simple. You can't score unless

2128
01:49:57,439 --> 01:50:00,039
you have the ball. Keeping possession is very important. And

2129
01:50:00,399 --> 01:50:02,439
if you can get two yards, which generally they're gonna

2130
01:50:02,439 --> 01:50:06,199
be able to do, you go for it. He wasn't

2131
01:50:06,239 --> 01:50:07,520
able to do it. They weren't able to do it,

2132
01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:09,760
and then Texans won. You gotta live by these decisions.

2133
01:50:09,760 --> 01:50:12,560
You gotta die by these decisions. Dan Campbell's been doing it.

2134
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:15,560
And it's also very marginal, like thin margin. To call

2135
01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:17,319
it like greed just one way or the other is

2136
01:50:17,439 --> 01:50:20,319
just I think is not accurate. You go from like

2137
01:50:20,399 --> 01:50:23,000
fifty percent to fifty one percent and then the other

2138
01:50:23,039 --> 01:50:24,640
like they like say go because we're gonna get one

2139
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:27,439
extra percent and yeah, if Andy Reid doesn't think they

2140
01:50:27,439 --> 01:50:29,239
can get it and it's not worth the percentage one

2141
01:50:29,279 --> 01:50:36,039
percentage point, then he don't do it. I just think

2142
01:50:36,119 --> 01:50:39,159
it completely shifted the momentum of the game. I know,

2143
01:50:39,399 --> 01:50:41,439
I think we're not talking about it nearly as much

2144
01:50:41,439 --> 01:50:43,239
as they get two yards. It's one of those things

2145
01:50:43,239 --> 01:50:44,520
and I know you said ed in the moment you

2146
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:46,800
say to do it. That happens every week. I hear

2147
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:49,199
Tony romo like I don't know, I don't know. And

2148
01:50:49,239 --> 01:50:50,920
then they get the touchdown and they don't say anything

2149
01:50:51,119 --> 01:50:54,600
brilliant call great a great aggressiveness, like, oh no, they

2150
01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:56,920
can scored a touchdown. Let's you and I watch the

2151
01:50:56,920 --> 01:51:01,279
game together soon. Absolutely, no, rip my hair out, I'll

2152
01:51:01,319 --> 01:51:03,760
come down to the city. Oh really, yeah, we get it.

2153
01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:05,600
Get in the loop, let's go, I'll do it. I'll

2154
01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:09,000
do it all right back with a Rby's Steak review.

2155
01:51:09,399 --> 01:51:14,560
And that's a tease, okay, And way w a y

2156
01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:18,000
wants to ask a question about ut should get? Should get?

2157
01:51:18,039 --> 01:51:19,840
What we're playing? Are we playing match game over here?

2158
01:51:20,319 --> 01:51:22,640
Twelve forty six on The Matt Thomas Show with Ross

2159
01:51:22,640 --> 01:51:25,680
seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven

2160
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:30,279
one three two one two five seven ninety house. I

2161
01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:33,359
just promised we had Yankees ke Uh. We gave him

2162
01:51:33,359 --> 01:51:35,199
a job assignment. We did not get any money to do,

2163
01:51:35,319 --> 01:51:37,359
so I feel kind of bad about that man. Rossell.

2164
01:51:38,119 --> 01:51:40,079
Get Keith vanmo account so you can pay him some

2165
01:51:40,119 --> 01:51:42,800
money back for his Arby's Nuggets. He can afford it,

2166
01:51:43,199 --> 01:51:45,960
all right, Keith, give us a rundown of the Rby's

2167
01:51:46,239 --> 01:51:47,479
steak nuggets please.

2168
01:51:49,079 --> 01:51:54,079
Speaker 2: First, I want to congratulate uh Ross on Helsa in America,

2169
01:51:54,640 --> 01:52:00,199
get rid of the Kelseys, Sam Bama and Taylor's. Well

2170
01:52:00,680 --> 01:52:05,960
for a long time. What we're tick and tired of

2171
01:52:06,039 --> 01:52:13,279
the chiefs. Okay, So I did go to Army's on Friday.

2172
01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:17,319
We went me and my wife and went inside. Wow,

2173
01:52:19,520 --> 01:52:22,479
I'm advising you to go inside as opposed to going

2174
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:26,680
to the drive three. But those taking others were actually

2175
01:52:27,159 --> 01:52:29,319
I want to give them a bee or bee puffs.

2176
01:52:29,359 --> 01:52:30,640
They were actually really good.

2177
01:52:31,359 --> 01:52:34,399
Speaker 1: What did they come with horseradish holidays? You probably asked

2178
01:52:34,399 --> 01:52:36,479
for your sauce of choice? Right a one?

2179
01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:39,239
Speaker 2: They coming a little they coming a little tub. You

2180
01:52:39,319 --> 01:52:43,319
get either five or nine pieces, and then they also

2181
01:52:43,439 --> 01:52:46,000
have a choice to get a sandwich or they got

2182
01:52:46,039 --> 01:52:49,119
a choice to get a bowl. And they were there

2183
01:52:49,159 --> 01:52:54,119
relatively cheap, and they raised were smoky, they were moist.

2184
01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:56,760
They were really good. They're really good. But let me

2185
01:52:56,800 --> 01:52:59,560
tell you what else happened. And I want to kick myself.

2186
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:05,920
Were in a ass. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich

2187
01:53:06,920 --> 01:53:09,720
and that had to be like all my list of

2188
01:53:09,800 --> 01:53:11,960
things they eat that has to be in the rotten too,

2189
01:53:13,359 --> 01:53:16,359
next to when my mama used to cook pigs feet.

2190
01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:20,359
It was nasty and I've been sick ever since Friday.

2191
01:53:22,880 --> 01:53:29,000
Do not get the spicy chicken sandwich from Arbis, But

2192
01:53:29,119 --> 01:53:30,359
the nuggets are pretty good.

2193
01:53:31,199 --> 01:53:33,159
Speaker 1: Okay? Do you know it wasn't the nuggets that tore

2194
01:53:33,199 --> 01:53:34,319
you up? Yeah, you don't know that.

2195
01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:40,000
Speaker 2: No, I know, we ate. We ate a nugget.

2196
01:53:40,680 --> 01:53:42,560
Speaker 1: Was it the Buffalo crispy chicken sandwich?

2197
01:53:45,199 --> 01:53:48,600
Speaker 2: Whatever the hell they call it? Spicy chicken sandwich? It

2198
01:53:48,760 --> 01:53:51,239
was nasty as hell and I've been sick every Wait.

2199
01:53:51,159 --> 01:53:53,079
Speaker 1: A minute, it's a piece of chicken. How could they?

2200
01:53:53,119 --> 01:53:55,159
How could it get you sick? Was there a sauce

2201
01:53:55,239 --> 01:53:57,600
on top of it? Buffalo sauce?

2202
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:00,880
Speaker 2: It's the sauce. Was the sauce?

2203
01:54:03,159 --> 01:54:07,399
Speaker 1: S We're done? We're done? Thank you?

2204
01:54:10,560 --> 01:54:10,600
Speaker 5: What?

2205
01:54:12,119 --> 01:54:14,800
Speaker 1: How many locations of Darby's are there in Houston? There's

2206
01:54:14,840 --> 01:54:16,960
one in Porter that's the closest to us, and there's

2207
01:54:17,039 --> 01:54:22,600
one in Spring like by Luetta and forty five. I

2208
01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:24,359
don't think there's any in the metro area by the

2209
01:54:24,439 --> 01:54:27,119
rank of America, Like, you can't get any Readies in

2210
01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:32,920
central Houston either. What Ready Ready Steak Burgers. Oh yeah,

2211
01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:36,520
you can't winning one in the city. Oh, I mean, well,

2212
01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:39,399
you know forty five in Cyprus Wood's pretty close. It's

2213
01:54:39,439 --> 01:54:41,119
not the city. You know better than that. I know

2214
01:54:41,239 --> 01:54:44,399
it's not, but people try to say it is. That's

2215
01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:47,439
metro Houston. It's pretty close. You can't get a Readyes.

2216
01:54:47,479 --> 01:54:49,680
You can't get a Robbie's. You can't get I mean,

2217
01:54:50,479 --> 01:54:54,399
you get a murder ming all over the place. You

2218
01:54:54,439 --> 01:54:57,720
can't get a renting route in the in the city.

2219
01:54:57,920 --> 01:55:00,640
By the way, somebody told me that going to get

2220
01:55:00,720 --> 01:55:06,199
the Cajun turkey from Raw Rise super expensive? Really yeah,

2221
01:55:06,239 --> 01:55:08,800
I heard they were good, man. I can't imagine you

2222
01:55:08,800 --> 01:55:09,720
would screw that up.

2223
01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:09,960
Speaker 3: Right.

2224
01:55:10,479 --> 01:55:12,159
Speaker 1: Just take the turkey deep fry and call to Day

2225
01:55:12,199 --> 01:55:16,079
and we get the one from Majoring Beijing. Major Their

2226
01:55:16,079 --> 01:55:18,680
food is terrible and mid, but their turkeys are good.

2227
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:21,000
How about the turn ducking. I don't know if they

2228
01:55:21,039 --> 01:55:25,079
have I've never had a turn duckan it's still I'd

2229
01:55:25,079 --> 01:55:26,920
give it a shot. You get the best of both worlds.

2230
01:55:26,920 --> 01:55:30,359
You got turkey duck and uh chicken, and you get

2231
01:55:30,479 --> 01:55:32,199
like rice peel off in the middle of it's very good,

2232
01:55:32,600 --> 01:55:38,199
Okay at the raging region. Yeah, uh way way is

Speaker 11: Uh, Matt and Ross there and uh but yeah, I

2242
01:56:00,399 --> 01:56:01,399
don't want to be a whiner.

2243
01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:02,720
Speaker 3: Full disclosure.

2244
01:56:03,159 --> 01:56:03,920
Speaker 2: I'm biased.

2245
01:56:04,439 --> 01:56:07,800
Speaker 3: Uh all three of my children are or three of

2246
01:56:07,880 --> 01:56:12,359
the first are our U T. Austin students or have

2247
01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:16,920
graduated from there. My wife ut Longhorn, and you know,

2248
01:56:17,920 --> 01:56:21,920
uh hey Arch and Steve Startizi and they you know,

2249
01:56:22,079 --> 01:56:26,119
they they lost to number two ranked Ohio state number

2250
01:56:26,159 --> 01:56:30,800
three ranked Georgia, and and we're, uh, we're being penalized

2251
01:56:30,880 --> 01:56:34,640
for for basically that loss. They shouldn't they put it

2252
01:56:34,720 --> 01:56:37,760
on themselves. They lost to Florida. But you know, if

2253
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:41,399
I'm on the committee, I'm putting them in the playoffs.

2254
01:56:41,560 --> 01:56:45,319
I'm biased, full disclosure, but uh, don't don't want to

2255
01:56:45,359 --> 01:56:49,520
be sour grapes. But just any comments on that whole system. Uh,

2256
01:56:49,800 --> 01:56:52,720
you know, they beat a and m they beat uh

2257
01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:56,439
who else did they they beat? In the you know, Oklahoma,

2258
01:56:56,960 --> 01:57:00,960
right and and and anyway, any comments you have, I

2259
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:03,199
don't want to be whining and all that, but that's

2260
01:57:03,439 --> 01:57:04,520
I'd be putting them in there.

2261
01:57:04,920 --> 01:57:06,479
Speaker 8: I'm biased, But all right.

2262
01:57:06,680 --> 01:57:09,680
Speaker 1: We understand. Thank you, Wave, We understand your biasness. We

2263
01:57:09,760 --> 01:57:12,800
have very intelligent children and very intelligent wife. Let me

2264
01:57:12,800 --> 01:57:14,640
tell you. You get three kids into UT, you're doing

2265
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:18,439
something right way, shout out to you. Hope they're not

2266
01:57:18,600 --> 01:57:20,319
arrogant though, I mean, I hope your kids are normal,

2267
01:57:20,479 --> 01:57:22,960
but you know, going to Texas, baby, because Texas has

2268
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:24,399
an arrogance. It got a little Notre Dame. And I

2269
01:57:24,439 --> 01:57:26,199
don't think so. I think there's a lot of it. Actually,

2270
01:57:26,399 --> 01:57:30,239
I don't think you even talked to any UT people general.

2271
01:57:30,439 --> 01:57:32,720
I'm not a UT group. Chat. No, you're not. You

2272
01:57:32,760 --> 01:57:36,880
don't know that, Yes, I do, all right, so kick

2273
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:40,920
you out, explained to uh our friend way. Oh yeah,

2274
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:43,119
you can argue them, and you could argue for Texas

2275
01:57:43,159 --> 01:57:45,359
and well, the simple argument is they beat three top

2276
01:57:45,439 --> 01:57:49,920
ten teams. Nobody else in the country did that. B Yu, no,

2277
01:57:50,399 --> 01:57:54,279
Notre Dame, no, Miami, no, Alabama no, and Alabama has

2278
01:57:54,279 --> 01:57:56,159
a bad loss to Florida State, Texas has a bad

2279
01:57:56,239 --> 01:57:58,119
loss to Florida. Tell me what the difference is there

2280
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:01,920
they be and then A and M seven beat him

2281
01:58:01,920 --> 01:58:04,960
had to head, Oklahoma's eight beat him head to head. Yeah,

2282
01:58:04,960 --> 01:58:08,560
there's an argument, but it's that third loss. And I

2283
01:58:08,640 --> 01:58:11,159
think the the playoff Committee did a good job of

2284
01:58:11,239 --> 01:58:15,000
pointing out how bad that loss was. They have never

2285
01:58:15,239 --> 01:58:19,479
hidden the fact how disgusted they are by the Florida loss.

2286
01:58:20,760 --> 01:58:25,000
The Texas Longhorns rushed for fifty two yards on twenty

2287
01:58:25,039 --> 01:58:28,680
six carries in that game. They they got dominated in

2288
01:58:28,800 --> 01:58:32,319
that game. Even the twenty nine to twenty one score

2289
01:58:32,399 --> 01:58:35,079
does not reflect how bad and hopeless of a game

2290
01:58:35,159 --> 01:58:37,720
that was. They got al gain I'm pulling it up

2291
01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:40,279
right now. They got got out game four fifty seven

2292
01:58:40,319 --> 01:58:43,760
to three forty one. In that game, twenty two first

2293
01:58:43,800 --> 01:58:49,000
downs to sixteen, couple of interceptions, bad running game like.

2294
01:58:49,159 --> 01:58:52,119
It was a dominant performance by a horrible Florida team.

2295
01:58:53,199 --> 01:58:53,720
Speaker 3: It just was.

2296
01:58:54,439 --> 01:58:58,680
Speaker 1: So it is what it is. Win that game, or hey,

2297
01:58:58,760 --> 01:59:02,800
beat Ohio State or Georgia. You can also poke hole

2298
01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:06,920
in the wins quite frankly. Vanderbilt, Okay, cool, that everybody

2299
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:08,880
talks about A and M. They didn't play anybody. That

2300
01:59:09,079 --> 01:59:11,039
wasn't the counter argument when A and M came into Texas.

2301
01:59:11,079 --> 01:59:13,079
They haven't played any top SEC teams. They've had a

2302
01:59:13,159 --> 01:59:15,199
cream puff schedule. Okay, So then you beat a team

2303
01:59:15,199 --> 01:59:16,520
with a cream puffs if you want to, or you

2304
01:59:16,560 --> 01:59:18,560
can't have it both ways. Either A and M played

2305
01:59:18,600 --> 01:59:21,000
a cream puff schedule and they're not that good, or

2306
01:59:21,119 --> 01:59:23,239
they're a top three team that you beat. You can't

2307
01:59:23,239 --> 01:59:26,159
have it both ways, Texas fans. You can't. So a

2308
01:59:26,199 --> 01:59:28,960
good winner, isn't it. We're gonna debate this every single year.

2309
01:59:29,159 --> 01:59:29,640
Speaker 4: We just are.

2310
01:59:29,800 --> 01:59:33,399
Speaker 1: It's just it's right. We have Thanksgiving, we have Tax Day,

2311
01:59:33,399 --> 01:59:35,760
and we argue about why my squad should have gotten

2312
01:59:35,760 --> 01:59:40,479
the CFP. So what sports is about? The easiest thing

2313
01:59:40,560 --> 01:59:44,680
you can do is win. You know, the truth will

2314
01:59:44,720 --> 01:59:47,239
set you free. Wins will set you for Wins will

2315
01:59:47,279 --> 01:59:51,680
set you free. Is the mac Thomas Show with Ross

2316
01:59:56,399 --> 01:59:58,319
all Right? Our time is what six? It is a

2317
01:59:58,359 --> 02:00:00,199
mac Thomas Show with Ross. I was talking to Miss

2318
02:00:00,279 --> 02:00:03,399
Morning during the break. Rossie he believes that Kurt Kurt

2319
02:00:03,840 --> 02:00:06,800
It's Kurt Beva Blokua. The ad at Notre Dame is

2320
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:09,600
gonna announce tomorrow it is his gut feeling. Is this

2321
02:00:09,720 --> 02:00:12,119
gut feeling time tomorrow? Is it that they're gonna pull

2322
02:00:12,119 --> 02:00:13,439
out of the football side of the a SEC and

2323
02:00:13,479 --> 02:00:16,439
say we're not gonna play those guaranteed opponents, that we

2324
02:00:16,560 --> 02:00:19,199
are so scorned by this that we'll stay in your

2325
02:00:19,239 --> 02:00:22,079
conference for basketball and volleyball and track and fields and

2326
02:00:22,119 --> 02:00:24,199
stuff like that. Does the ACC just have to bend

2327
02:00:24,239 --> 02:00:26,800
over and take that. I guess it's got to be

2328
02:00:26,840 --> 02:00:31,600
a violation of some kind of agreement. You would think, oh, well,

2329
02:00:31,760 --> 02:00:34,279
you know what, you could be very right. I'm not

2330
02:00:34,399 --> 02:00:36,560
saying that's what does Gordy said. I mean, I'm saying, yeah,

2331
02:00:36,640 --> 02:00:38,920
Gordy could be very right, because I mean, the guy

2332
02:00:39,039 --> 02:00:41,560
was ripping the ACC today, right, He was going on

2333
02:00:41,680 --> 02:00:46,079
every show saying, our relationship is permanently damaged. Yeah, not

2334
02:00:46,199 --> 02:00:49,279
beyond repair, but permanently damaged, which I guess is that's

2335
02:00:49,359 --> 02:00:52,960
not the same thing. Is they've certainly done permanent damage

2336
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:55,560
to the relationship between the conference and Notre Dame. Yeah,

2337
02:00:55,600 --> 02:00:59,000
maybe they're pulling out of the a SEC. Maybe your

2338
02:00:59,039 --> 02:01:01,520
thing that you didn't believe is to be true. No, no, oh,

2339
02:01:01,640 --> 02:01:03,680
but No, I know they're gonna have to stay in

2340
02:01:03,720 --> 02:01:05,880
the ACEC for the basketball and the stuff they Why

2341
02:01:05,880 --> 02:01:08,560
can't they join the Big Ten because you can't make

2342
02:01:08,600 --> 02:01:11,079
that move. You're not doing this move. You're not doing

2343
02:01:11,119 --> 02:01:14,159
a Big Ten move the same kind of agreement, but

2344
02:01:14,239 --> 02:01:16,960
with a Big Ten. Why would the Big Ten want

2345
02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:19,720
to do that? Notre Dame's got a big cachet and

2346
02:01:19,800 --> 02:01:21,960
you get to a little bit of extra eyeballs. Absolutely,

2347
02:01:22,520 --> 02:01:26,880
why wouldn't they beending on with the revenue share? But

2348
02:01:26,920 --> 02:01:29,880
you're not gonna the big Ohio State and Michigan are

2349
02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:32,039
not gonna let Notre Dame do their own TV deal.

2350
02:01:32,119 --> 02:01:34,560
There's no chance of that. Okay, well they do not.

2351
02:01:34,640 --> 02:01:37,199
They don't get the only votes. There's like twenty teams

2352
02:01:37,239 --> 02:01:39,640
in the league at this point. How many teams are

2353
02:01:39,680 --> 02:01:43,840
in the Big Ten? Seriously? Sixteen, sixteen or eighteen? No,

2354
02:01:44,039 --> 02:01:45,760
it's eighteen now, is it now? Because you get to

2355
02:01:45,960 --> 02:01:50,119
the West schools? Nope, I think tomorrow I'm gonna go

2356
02:01:50,159 --> 02:01:51,960
with I'm gonna go with Shmorty on this. I'm gonna

2357
02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:53,960
go with that. They're gonna pull out of the football

2358
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:57,000
side of it, only say the why would the AEC

2359
02:01:57,119 --> 02:01:59,199
agree to that. I mean they only had they they

2360
02:01:59,359 --> 02:02:01,520
the AEC made them agree to the four games, because

2361
02:02:01,760 --> 02:02:03,720
initially they didn't have to do that. Correct, correct, Yeah,

2362
02:02:04,279 --> 02:02:06,239
it used to be even fifteen years ago. You just

2363
02:02:06,279 --> 02:02:08,840
schedule who you scheduled, you did, and it has happened

2364
02:02:08,840 --> 02:02:10,960
to make sense because you built this relationship with the

2365
02:02:10,960 --> 02:02:13,479
ACC basketball that you would play some of your a

2366
02:02:13,520 --> 02:02:19,760
SEC opponents. I'm very you know what, we we might

2367
02:02:19,760 --> 02:02:20,880
be able to carry a little bit of that live.

2368
02:02:20,880 --> 02:02:22,640
I don't know. Again, I don't know if it's not

2369
02:02:22,680 --> 02:02:24,439
that even a huge Nunner name based here, but I

2370
02:02:24,560 --> 02:02:28,560
think it's a great debate conversation about where the who

2371
02:02:28,680 --> 02:02:33,680
really is in power in college sports? The SEC. Yeah,

2372
02:02:34,039 --> 02:02:37,560
they're the dawn. He's like, y'all just argue, I didn't

2373
02:02:37,560 --> 02:02:39,960
even do what you want. We got a bunch of

2374
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:42,479
teams in the championship. We're collecting more money anybody else. Yeah.

2375
02:02:42,479 --> 02:02:43,960
How many teams did the SEC get in?

2376
02:02:44,720 --> 02:02:44,840
Speaker 5: Uh?

2377
02:02:44,920 --> 02:02:48,439
Speaker 1: We go in Alabama, Oklahoma, Georgia, Georgia's three A and

2378
02:02:48,600 --> 02:02:53,039
M four Ole miss five. That's five, that's it? Five

2379
02:02:53,159 --> 02:02:56,399
or twelve? Pretty good? What does that quick math tell

2380
02:02:56,439 --> 02:03:03,159
me about forty lordy good B SEC that's why y'all

2381
02:03:03,239 --> 02:03:06,119
left better better by the way, we will be called

2382
02:03:06,359 --> 02:03:09,479
got honest. I like the Big twelve. I'm really enjoying it,

2383
02:03:09,560 --> 02:03:12,199
but that was a lousy Big twelve Championship game. That

2384
02:03:12,239 --> 02:03:14,319
guy we're in forty seventy to change his uniform number,

2385
02:03:14,439 --> 02:03:16,720
why oh I thought it was the fullback was in

2386
02:03:16,800 --> 02:03:19,279
a QB. God well, he hurt his he hurt his

2387
02:03:19,399 --> 02:03:21,840
leg and he part of who that kid is that

2388
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:25,520
retslof No, it's what's the guy's name, it's the BYU quarterback.

2389
02:03:26,800 --> 02:03:29,720
I don't remember drawing a blank. But part of his

2390
02:03:30,119 --> 02:03:33,560
goodness is his ability to scramble, and when he couldn't move,

2391
02:03:33,680 --> 02:03:35,359
it was a disase. I believe he said it was

2392
02:03:35,439 --> 02:03:38,000
for every child that he baptized on his mission in Guam.

2393
02:03:38,399 --> 02:03:44,000
Bear Bachmeier is he LDS just made that up? Did you?

2394
02:03:45,399 --> 02:03:45,960
Sounded good?

2395
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:46,159
Speaker 5: Though?

2396
02:03:46,239 --> 02:03:46,399
Speaker 2: Right?

2397
02:03:47,199 --> 02:03:49,119
Speaker 1: It sounded somewhat offensively the LDS face?

2398
02:03:49,279 --> 02:03:49,439
Speaker 3: Was it?

2399
02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:52,600
Speaker 1: I think baptized forty seven kids in Guam. That's good.

2400
02:03:54,239 --> 02:03:58,000
I don't know. I wonder if he is LDS. Let's see. No,

2401
02:03:58,119 --> 02:04:01,560
he was raised Catholic. Oh what you had the by

2402
02:04:01,720 --> 02:04:04,439
you and now you had the b white Catholic that

2403
02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:07,000
is that what they're calling him that by first of all, again,

2404
02:04:07,119 --> 02:04:10,159
change your uniform number, bro, I like that. How do

2405
02:04:10,159 --> 02:04:11,920
you feel about the name Bear? Is a is a

2406
02:04:11,960 --> 02:04:12,439
real name?

2407
02:04:13,399 --> 02:04:13,600
Speaker 7: Well?

2408
02:04:14,600 --> 02:04:16,680
Speaker 1: You know you're always an opinions got him out of

2409
02:04:16,720 --> 02:04:19,479
here to judge, Yes, you are, you're a judging mcjudge.

2410
02:04:19,680 --> 02:04:23,119
It's got to be a nickname. Nope, No, there's no way. Wikipedia,

2411
02:04:23,239 --> 02:04:25,840
there's no way. It says that on his birth certificate. Hi,

2412
02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:30,840
I'm Bear Tip. His name is Bear. I don't believe.

2413
02:04:30,920 --> 02:04:35,640
Not Grizzly, not a gummy, not gummy Bear, not Teddy,

2414
02:04:37,359 --> 02:04:40,640
He's he is Bear Bear Bachmeier. I want to see

2415
02:04:40,680 --> 02:04:43,199
this guy's birth certificate. There's no way, you know, I'm

2416
02:04:43,239 --> 02:04:45,720
telling you, I wouldn't line that that name sucks to

2417
02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:48,680
talk to his parents. Are you sure it's not like bear?

2418
02:04:48,720 --> 02:04:52,359
Because is he like German? By Blackmeier? If it's a

2419
02:04:52,439 --> 02:04:54,159
German thing. This is his right hand raised up in

2420
02:04:54,199 --> 02:04:59,079
the air too. I didn't say that. What was wrong

2421
02:04:59,119 --> 02:05:04,840
with you? That would? Oh that was Matt technical foul.

2422
02:05:05,239 --> 02:05:08,960
Jimmy and Tomball. Hello Jimmy, guys.

2423
02:05:09,039 --> 02:05:11,680
Speaker 13: Hey, I'm enjoying the show today. Hey, so just real quick,

2424
02:05:11,760 --> 02:05:14,399
we got an Arby's out here in Tomball, and uh,

2425
02:05:14,920 --> 02:05:17,000
every since they did away with the dollar Man, you

2426
02:05:17,119 --> 02:05:19,199
sick to get like their version of the frosty and

2427
02:05:19,319 --> 02:05:22,079
curly prize or whatever on their thing. And it was

2428
02:05:22,159 --> 02:05:25,239
pretty good, but now their prices are worse than Chick

2429
02:05:25,279 --> 02:05:27,479
fil A and they nowhere near as good as Chick

2430
02:05:27,560 --> 02:05:29,560
fil A. And I'm not joking when I say the

2431
02:05:29,640 --> 02:05:32,119
only thing people there's nobody at the Army's ever. The

2432
02:05:32,239 --> 02:05:34,199
only thing people use it for is they go through

2433
02:05:34,239 --> 02:05:36,359
the Chick fil A drive too, and then you pull

2434
02:05:36,439 --> 02:05:38,479
into Arby's before you get on the highway to sort

2435
02:05:38,520 --> 02:05:40,399
out all your food for the kids and open up

2436
02:05:40,439 --> 02:05:43,239
their straws and dipping sauces and all that. Like that's

2437
02:05:43,319 --> 02:05:44,319
that's the only people that.

2438
02:05:44,359 --> 02:05:45,680
Speaker 2: Are ever in the Army's parking lot.

2439
02:05:45,800 --> 02:05:49,199
Speaker 13: That and there's a homeless guy. But uh, and not

2440
02:05:49,199 --> 02:05:51,920
only that, they don't even know they so they're between

2441
02:05:52,119 --> 02:05:54,199
like the Chick fil A, the Tonic and the tire

2442
02:05:54,239 --> 02:05:56,600
store and they're all mowed up real nice.

2443
02:05:56,920 --> 02:05:58,880
Speaker 2: Arby just gets out there and spray round up.

2444
02:05:58,920 --> 02:05:59,520
Speaker 4: Just we kill her.

2445
02:05:59,720 --> 02:06:02,800
Speaker 13: I mean that they don't even care. I don't even

2446
02:06:02,840 --> 02:06:04,880
know what their deal is or how they're I mean

2447
02:06:05,079 --> 02:06:06,960
a lot of people suspect they're selling drugs out of

2448
02:06:06,960 --> 02:06:08,960
the store. Nobody knows what's going on, But I mean,

2449
02:06:10,600 --> 02:06:11,840
I don't know how they're still opening.

2450
02:06:13,479 --> 02:06:17,520
Speaker 1: No, all right, I'm gonna give you a take right now.

2451
02:06:17,560 --> 02:06:18,880
I don't know the last time I ate there. I

2452
02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:22,479
love Rarby's, I just do. First, let me tell you,

2453
02:06:22,560 --> 02:06:25,359
first of all, curly fries exceptional. Nobody takes your food

2454
02:06:25,359 --> 02:06:28,399
takes seriously. Number two, the roast beef delicious. I don't

2455
02:06:28,479 --> 02:06:30,399
like the roast beef and cheddar. Just to plain roast beef.

2456
02:06:30,439 --> 02:06:32,000
How do you get a beef and cheddar without cheddar?

2457
02:06:32,039 --> 02:06:36,000
I get it without the cheddar. The Arby sauce. Pour

2458
02:06:36,039 --> 02:06:39,039
that in my veins. That Arby sauce is crack. It's fine,

2459
02:06:39,079 --> 02:06:41,359
It's delicious. Horsey sauce or Arbiy sau Arby Is the

2460
02:06:41,399 --> 02:06:42,359
red horses better?

2461
02:06:42,520 --> 02:06:42,720
Speaker 2: Nah?

2462
02:06:43,079 --> 02:06:44,680
Speaker 1: No, wait, I think you're right.

2463
02:06:44,880 --> 02:06:45,079
Speaker 8: Yeah.

2464
02:06:45,239 --> 02:06:48,079
Speaker 1: Uh. They have a sandwich. Apparently you can go into

2465
02:06:48,199 --> 02:06:50,000
and get we can get one slice of meat of

2466
02:06:50,039 --> 02:06:52,920
everything they have, but you have to order it inside.

2467
02:06:52,920 --> 02:06:54,680
You can't get into the drive through, by the way.

2468
02:06:54,760 --> 02:07:01,680
Quick note, Bear Bachmeyer has a brother. Okay, yeah, Bear

2469
02:07:02,720 --> 02:07:08,119
is it an animal? Yes, wow, bear, what would be

2470
02:07:08,199 --> 02:07:11,760
indecent fur? I'm just saying, I'm just say an animal, Uh, tiger?

2471
02:07:12,039 --> 02:07:18,039
Tiger's correct. Yes, that's good. Their dad is Hank Bachmeier.

2472
02:07:18,520 --> 02:07:20,079
By the way, getting award from a friend of mine

2473
02:07:20,079 --> 02:07:23,640
who's LDS. Says Bear is not LDS and that forty

2474
02:07:23,680 --> 02:07:30,239
seven baptisms are rookie numbers. Well, I was gonna say,

2475
02:07:30,319 --> 02:07:32,119
I'll give a little behind the curtain. I was gonna

2476
02:07:32,119 --> 02:07:34,720
say forty seven something else. What were we gonna say?

2477
02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:36,600
Tell me? Can you tell me what thy Tebow doing

2478
02:07:36,640 --> 02:07:39,000
in the Philippines. M I'll just leave it at that.

2479
02:07:41,279 --> 02:07:45,920
Not Tim, don't you don't you besmirch his name. There's

2480
02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:49,279
somebody who gets that reference I know. All right, one thirteen,

2481
02:07:49,319 --> 02:07:51,199
believe it or not? Today all things about whiny Notre

2482
02:07:51,279 --> 02:07:53,800

2486
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:04,960
Speaker 2: All right.

2487
02:08:05,239 --> 02:08:09,119
Speaker 1: As a public service, please, ladies and gentlemen, do not

2488
02:08:10,439 --> 02:08:15,399
do do not google Tim Tebow in the Philippines. Just don't.

2489
02:08:15,680 --> 02:08:31,560
Why because God just just don't. Okay, let's get back

2490
02:08:31,600 --> 02:08:35,880
to the Texans bobia. You're rooting tonight for Philadelphia to win.

2491
02:08:35,920 --> 02:08:38,840
Because of Philadelphia beats the Chargers, the Texans will bump

2492
02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:43,359
from the seven to the six playoff spot. Sounds good,

2493
02:08:44,560 --> 02:08:47,479
I guess well. I mean, as long as you're you're

2494
02:08:47,479 --> 02:08:49,359
not getting the home game anyways. No, you're you have

2495
02:08:49,399 --> 02:08:51,199
to win, you have to win the division. Well, that's

2496
02:08:51,199 --> 02:08:53,640
still the possibility. I mean, Jacksonville has to stumble. They

2497
02:08:53,640 --> 02:08:58,079
could falter. They're not very good. It's not like they're

2498
02:08:58,119 --> 02:09:00,479
world beaters. Yeah, they gotta be the words nine to

2499
02:09:00,680 --> 02:09:05,079
fourteen on the on the burly. Honest, I only watched

2500
02:09:05,119 --> 02:09:07,560
Red Zone yesterday. I don't have watched large chunks of

2501
02:09:07,640 --> 02:09:09,560
that game by itself. Nobody's going to break down that.

2502
02:09:09,680 --> 02:09:14,479
But tell me, I mean, Jacksonville's hot. They won four

2503
02:09:14,520 --> 02:09:19,319
in all. I think, Yes, Texas won five straight. Texans

2504
02:09:19,359 --> 02:09:21,520
are better, Texans are better than jackson Well, I mean,

2505
02:09:21,560 --> 02:09:24,319
I've said it before. Jacksonville's a fraud. I'm never gonna

2506
02:09:24,359 --> 02:09:26,359
get I'm never gonna say Jacksonville's better than Houston. I

2507
02:09:26,399 --> 02:09:28,000
don't care. I mean, they do have wins against but

2508
02:09:28,079 --> 02:09:31,800
not a lot. And Trevor Lawrence revert to who Trevor

2509
02:09:31,840 --> 02:09:36,840
Lawrence is an underachieving mid level quarterback at best. Yeah,

2510
02:09:36,880 --> 02:09:41,680
Trevor Lawrence versus this Texans defense. I ain't scared, but

2511
02:09:41,760 --> 02:09:43,079
they don't play each other. It would have to be

2512
02:09:43,119 --> 02:09:47,359
the playoffs. How's the bracket looking if the playoffs started today?

2513
02:09:47,479 --> 02:09:50,239
I'm glad you asked. You know I'm a bracket aholic.

2514
02:09:50,399 --> 02:09:52,439
I know you are. I mean I asked. I'm even

2515
02:09:52,479 --> 02:09:54,560
doing brackets on the Astros playoffs and they haven't even

2516
02:09:54,560 --> 02:09:57,359
started the season yet, which makes me just some troublesome spot.

2517
02:09:57,640 --> 02:10:00,760
If the playoffs are beginning, let's do this type ofThat, right? Oh,

2518
02:10:01,159 --> 02:10:03,680
go ahead, all right, I just saw it. Denver would

2519
02:10:03,680 --> 02:10:07,760
be the one seed. Uh huh? Seven v. Two would

2520
02:10:07,800 --> 02:10:11,159
be Houston at New England. I was there at the

2521
02:10:11,239 --> 02:10:13,560
last time the Texans and Patriots played a playoff game.

2522
02:10:13,920 --> 02:10:16,800
Go for the Tech Not well. I believe both Aaron

2523
02:10:16,920 --> 02:10:22,479
Ernandez and Rom Grondkowski got to the end zone. They okay? Three?

2524
02:10:22,720 --> 02:10:31,720
Six would be Chargers at Jacksonville, Buffalo five at Pittsburgh four.

2525
02:10:33,640 --> 02:10:36,119
How the hell is well? Again, Pittsburgh is barely about

2526
02:10:36,119 --> 02:10:38,319
five hundred, so somebody has to win the North. Yeah,

2527
02:10:38,439 --> 02:10:41,000
then they receed. So if the Texans as a seventh

2528
02:10:41,039 --> 02:10:43,359
seed one, you'd you'd be playing the Broncos.

2529
02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:46,119
Speaker 4: You have to be.

2530
02:10:46,239 --> 02:10:48,640
Speaker 1: You'd have to play the two toughest opponents left in

2531
02:10:48,720 --> 02:10:51,439
this league. That's okay, let's glean, let's get up from

2532
02:10:51,439 --> 02:10:54,600
the seventh spot. Let's go. You'd rather be at the

2533
02:10:55,239 --> 02:10:57,000
So if they did, let's say, like you said, the

2534
02:10:57,119 --> 02:10:59,199
Chargers lose today, then then Texans would be the sixth.

2535
02:10:59,399 --> 02:11:03,359
Then they would be the Jacks way better than being

2536
02:11:03,600 --> 02:11:06,680
way better. So having to play one cold weather, really

2537
02:11:06,920 --> 02:11:09,159
tough team, you'd be to ascue me and playing two

2538
02:11:09,159 --> 02:11:10,720
you don't have to play one in theory, and you'd

2539
02:11:10,720 --> 02:11:14,479
be playing Trevor Lawrence. Okay, let's go. Let's go Eagles,

2540
02:11:15,520 --> 02:11:18,560
all right, Eagles win. Oh you're saying let's go Eagles

2541
02:11:18,600 --> 02:11:21,479
in general. Yeah, the three teams and the outside looking

2542
02:11:21,560 --> 02:11:25,840
in Indianapolis, Baltimore and Kansas City. Two of those three

2543
02:11:25,880 --> 02:11:30,319
were legitimate AFC title contenders. By the way, Cincinnati at

2544
02:11:30,399 --> 02:11:33,560
four and nine, is still eligible to make the playoffs.

2545
02:11:34,119 --> 02:11:37,680
It would take a seismic shift of everybody losing everything

2546
02:11:37,760 --> 02:11:40,720
the rest of the way. No, they're out. Miami has

2547
02:11:40,800 --> 02:11:42,600
won four in a row. By the way, they're still

2548
02:11:42,680 --> 02:11:44,840
technically in they're at six and seven. I wonder if

2549
02:11:44,840 --> 02:11:48,039
Mike McDaniel's keeping his job after this. I still say no.

2550
02:11:48,319 --> 02:11:51,279
They kind of rallied. They are rallying week to week league.

2551
02:11:51,319 --> 02:11:53,760
It's funny how everybody says he's the worst coach. Ever,

2552
02:11:53,920 --> 02:11:56,880
now they won four in a row, including a beatdown

2553
02:11:56,960 --> 02:12:00,680
of the Bills, and you see who's not making the playoffs.

2554
02:12:00,680 --> 02:12:03,560
The playoffs are to end the day in the NFC. Uh,

2555
02:12:04,520 --> 02:12:07,920
the Detroit Lions. They are the eight seed right now

2556
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:12,039
at eight and five, three games above five hundred. They

2557
02:12:12,159 --> 02:12:17,119
lose that the seven and the six seeds. Bless you

2558
02:12:17,319 --> 02:12:22,680
are nine and four. Dang God, bless it. NFC. There

2559
02:12:22,760 --> 02:12:25,119
must be who are the teams that are terrible? Oh, Giants,

2560
02:12:25,239 --> 02:12:27,920
Campus City. They have four teams with three or fewer wins.

2561
02:12:28,119 --> 02:12:30,279
That's what's happening. Tampa seven and six. So they lost

2562
02:12:30,319 --> 02:12:32,520
to the Saints at home yesterday. I surprised we didn't

2563
02:12:32,520 --> 02:12:38,760
have a company day off here in the Speaking of

2564
02:12:38,800 --> 02:12:41,079
the NFC, did you see that there's a candidate out

2565
02:12:41,119 --> 02:12:48,199
there for the Giants job? Apparently Steve Sarkisian NoHo Marcus

2566
02:12:48,319 --> 02:12:54,039
Freeman really do you think he would leave?

2567
02:12:55,560 --> 02:12:55,800
Speaker 12: Yeah?

2568
02:12:57,039 --> 02:12:59,760
Speaker 1: Why not? The NFL is a better job these days.

2569
02:12:59,840 --> 02:13:02,199
Now higher pressure, you're gonna be well, I mean, oh,

2570
02:13:02,279 --> 02:13:03,079
is it higher pressure?

2571
02:13:03,359 --> 02:13:03,399
Speaker 5: Not?

2572
02:13:03,600 --> 02:13:03,880
Speaker 7: Really?

2573
02:13:04,079 --> 02:13:05,920
Speaker 1: Is it higher pressure than Nowaday not when you got

2574
02:13:05,920 --> 02:13:08,640
Alum spending millions of dollars to win. I mean, James

2575
02:13:08,640 --> 02:13:12,000
Franklin says Penn State was pretty high pressure. You go

2576
02:13:12,079 --> 02:13:14,279
to a semi final one year, then you lose three games.

2577
02:13:14,279 --> 02:13:18,920
The next year you're out. Yeah, So if Marcus Freeman

2578
02:13:19,079 --> 02:13:21,199
was too, if Lee, that would mean in the last

2579
02:13:21,960 --> 02:13:26,920
six years, Brian Kelly leaves your school to go to

2580
02:13:26,960 --> 02:13:29,199
another college, and Marcus Freeman leaves to go to a

2581
02:13:29,560 --> 02:13:32,319
low level NFL team. What's Brian day Bowl up to

2582
02:13:32,399 --> 02:13:37,279
these days? Good question? Do you like the Houston area?

2583
02:13:38,479 --> 02:13:40,880
It's Mike mccanniel like Houston. I don't know if he's

2584
02:13:40,880 --> 02:13:44,600
gonna be available Chip Kelly, yes or no? Mm hmm

2585
02:13:44,720 --> 02:13:48,439
passes Brian No, No, they just had bad players. But

2586
02:13:48,920 --> 02:13:52,079
it's like Chip Kelly's a genius when he's with Ohio

2587
02:13:52,199 --> 02:13:53,800
State and they have all the best players in the field,

2588
02:13:53,880 --> 02:13:56,119
and then you have the worst offensive line in football

2589
02:13:56,159 --> 02:13:58,319
and Gino Smith regressing and all of a sudden and

2590
02:13:58,600 --> 02:14:02,159
Ashton gent not running well and no wide receiver help.

2591
02:14:02,199 --> 02:14:05,680
The NFL insider told you that. Oh my god, I'm sorry,

2592
02:14:05,680 --> 02:14:09,960
I'm right, Ross, I apologize. No, I'll let you be right.

2593
02:14:10,039 --> 02:14:12,039
If you actually make an informed decision on something, you

2594
02:14:12,119 --> 02:14:12,920
don't make it informed.

2595
02:14:13,319 --> 02:14:15,039
Speaker 2: Zero for the draft.

2596
02:14:15,119 --> 02:14:20,800
Speaker 1: You you you watch zero tape of of like undersize

2597
02:14:20,880 --> 02:14:23,439
playing in a low level league. Sorry, it is what

2598
02:14:23,560 --> 02:14:26,439
it is. He's been alright, their offensive line gates. I

2599
02:14:26,479 --> 02:14:28,439
think it's like a he's a guy like minus two

2600
02:14:28,520 --> 02:14:32,960
yards per contact average contact. He's getting the ball handed

2601
02:14:32,960 --> 02:14:35,039
off to him. He's getting crunched by three defenders every

2602
02:14:35,079 --> 02:14:37,560
time to run eleven yards to get nine exactly, a

2603
02:14:37,640 --> 02:14:43,239
rare nine yard gain he's ever had. All Right, I

2604
02:14:43,399 --> 02:14:45,760
want to know what happened in the mystique of Notre Dame.

2605
02:14:45,840 --> 02:14:48,800
They're getting slided in the tournament. They had Brian Kelly

2606
02:14:48,920 --> 02:14:51,840
leave and now Marcus fort Now doesn't mean just because

2607
02:14:51,880 --> 02:14:53,640
of Marcus name, is Freeman's name is being brought up

2608
02:14:53,640 --> 02:14:56,960
in conversation mean he's gonna leave. But I think that's

2609
02:14:57,560 --> 02:14:59,560
you need to He's gonna take the phone call. I

2610
02:14:59,600 --> 02:15:04,000
almost guarantee it. He should go. He should go. You're

2611
02:15:04,119 --> 02:15:07,039
limited at Notre Dame in so many different ways. Anyways,

2612
02:15:07,520 --> 02:15:09,640
they haven't won a national championships nineteen eighty eight. I

2613
02:15:09,640 --> 02:15:10,920
don't know what you're trying to talk about like this.

2614
02:15:11,039 --> 02:15:14,159
There's this crazy good power that they and they should

2615
02:15:14,199 --> 02:15:17,119
have more money than God because they're taking acc money

2616
02:15:17,159 --> 02:15:18,880
when they're not in football, and they get all the

2617
02:15:19,000 --> 02:15:20,720
NFL TV they get their all the TV dollars from

2618
02:15:20,800 --> 02:15:23,760
NBC by themselves with the home games. Yeah, I don't

2619
02:15:23,760 --> 02:15:25,159
know about that and how that ends up with their

2620
02:15:25,199 --> 02:15:28,199
budgets and stuff. I mean, how much more is it

2621
02:15:28,239 --> 02:15:31,119
than an SEC check? I have a very let me ask.

2622
02:15:31,399 --> 02:15:34,000
I got a new ruling on this. Should you run

2623
02:15:34,079 --> 02:15:39,000
to Facebook with sports opinions? We'll discuss that next one

2624
02:15:39,119 --> 02:15:41,439
twenty seven on Sports Talk seventy Believe.

2625
02:15:41,159 --> 02:15:41,399
Speaker 2: It or Not?

2626
02:15:41,479 --> 02:15:43,479
Speaker 1: Today? Are we doing Notre Dame? Where you going Somewhere're

2627
02:15:43,479 --> 02:15:45,720
gonna go with James Madison? James Madison, maybe some Twu

2628
02:15:45,800 --> 02:15:50,399
Lane Tulane, maybe some Texas Bowl history. Lord, we got them.

2629
02:15:50,399 --> 02:15:52,319
We got some work to do. Twenty minutes for Believing

2630
02:15:52,399 --> 02:15:57,359
or Not? Next on seven ninety all right, two quick

2631
02:15:57,359 --> 02:15:59,000
things to get to before we get to believe or not,

2632
02:15:59,079 --> 02:16:00,760
which is it about ten minutes from now?

2633
02:16:00,920 --> 02:16:01,159
Speaker 2: Ross.

2634
02:16:02,279 --> 02:16:05,000
Speaker 1: I've told you this before a hundred times and again.

2635
02:16:05,159 --> 02:16:10,079
I'm not the site surveyor and editorial board leader of Facebook,

2636
02:16:10,119 --> 02:16:12,960
but I like Facebook for things like pictures of your kids,

2637
02:16:13,119 --> 02:16:17,039
nice trips you go on, wishing somebody happy birthday. Maybe

2638
02:16:17,239 --> 02:16:19,359
once in a rare while showing your food, like when

2639
02:16:19,359 --> 02:16:22,479
we went to get Hot Pop bitter day. People were

2640
02:16:22,520 --> 02:16:24,439
commenting on that asking where the Mike Ribs weren't in

2641
02:16:24,439 --> 02:16:27,960
the middle of the wet comments, you're really that's your stick?

2642
02:16:28,119 --> 02:16:28,399
Speaker 2: I did?

2643
02:16:28,479 --> 02:16:31,239
Speaker 1: That was that was funny. We had a good time.

2644
02:16:31,239 --> 02:16:32,879
By the way, Hot Pot's good. I wouldn't still I

2645
02:16:32,920 --> 02:16:34,719
would take Korean over Hot Pop. But you don't have

2646
02:16:34,760 --> 02:16:36,559
to choose, Maddi. No, I'm not going to choose. I

2647
02:16:36,600 --> 02:16:38,600
had a member of the Rockets traveling staffs that you

2648
02:16:38,639 --> 02:16:40,079
went to Hot Pot without me, like, we can go

2649
02:16:40,159 --> 02:16:43,000
back again. It's always it's always open, so lunch probably

2650
02:16:43,040 --> 02:16:45,440
ain't bad and one bad we ate well. I mean,

2651
02:16:46,079 --> 02:16:47,760
flight from to Dallas was a little iffy for me,

2652
02:16:47,840 --> 02:16:50,559
but that's poor crazy Fine was sitting next to me.

2653
02:16:50,639 --> 02:16:52,520
But that's a different issue for a different time. I

2654
02:16:52,639 --> 02:16:53,559
was feeling tired.

2655
02:16:54,360 --> 02:16:54,680
Speaker 4: Me too.

2656
02:16:54,799 --> 02:16:57,639
Speaker 1: I didn't get a nab, so I drew. So we

2657
02:16:57,719 --> 02:17:00,639
finished Hot Pop. We drove right to the to the center,

2658
02:17:00,719 --> 02:17:02,159
would do it before we have a game, and I

2659
02:17:02,719 --> 02:17:04,280
put my chair back and had a pillow on the

2660
02:17:04,319 --> 02:17:07,319
back seat of my car. I snoozed up until five o'clock.

2661
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:10,200
I meet with Emai at five fifteen, So I mean literally,

2662
02:17:10,239 --> 02:17:11,840
I was like racing to get out of the car,

2663
02:17:11,959 --> 02:17:13,639
walk in the arena, sit down, and get ready to

2664
02:17:13,680 --> 02:17:15,360
talk to him. But yeah, that was that was a

2665
02:17:15,440 --> 02:17:17,319
tough call. So I would say, if you're gonna do

2666
02:17:17,399 --> 02:17:21,440
hot Pot, clear your calendar clear, do the rest today.

2667
02:17:23,079 --> 02:17:25,040
You liked it? I loved it. Yeah, No, it was.

2668
02:17:25,040 --> 02:17:26,840
That's really good. I don't know if I want it

2669
02:17:26,920 --> 02:17:28,479
better than I was talking about, girl. I don't know

2670
02:17:28,479 --> 02:17:30,360
if I like it better than the Korean barbecue. But yeah,

2671
02:17:30,760 --> 02:17:35,520
it was like forty degrees for value for twenty two bucks.

2672
02:17:35,639 --> 02:17:39,239
That's true. The value is in the hot pot, that's true. Okay,

2673
02:17:39,360 --> 02:17:42,639
So what I don't bone broth. I have never given

2674
02:17:42,680 --> 02:17:44,879
sports takes I think on a single Facebook post I've

2675
02:17:44,879 --> 02:17:47,360
ever had my entire life. A good friend of mine

2676
02:17:47,399 --> 02:17:50,840
I will not name him, put out a he's a

2677
02:17:50,879 --> 02:17:53,680
Notre Dame grad and loves him Notre Dame. He does

2678
02:17:53,760 --> 02:17:55,879
save his money to go watch his team play in

2679
02:17:55,959 --> 02:18:00,319
these tournaments. He wrote maybe a thousand words it's on

2680
02:18:00,399 --> 02:18:04,840
it that seems like that seems excessive. That's what I'm saying.

2681
02:18:05,680 --> 02:18:09,360
Is Facebook a spot to put thousand word essays about

2682
02:18:09,479 --> 02:18:12,280
anything much less Notre Dame not making the football playoffs.

2683
02:18:12,280 --> 02:18:14,079
I probably put sports takes back on there in like

2684
02:18:14,120 --> 02:18:18,200
two thousand and nine. You know, Facebook just started as

2685
02:18:18,200 --> 02:18:20,479
a place to get laid during college. Correct. I've watched

2686
02:18:20,520 --> 02:18:23,680
the movie Okay good, Yeah, one Bad. Actually that's a

2687
02:18:23,719 --> 02:18:26,719
great movie. It was a great movie actually, But yeah,

2688
02:18:26,760 --> 02:18:28,200
you were going to get laid. I mean, that's just

2689
02:18:28,239 --> 02:18:31,520
the reality of it. Now. It's just where Grandma complains

2690
02:18:31,520 --> 02:18:34,399
about fake news. Yeah, and what's AI stories and one

2691
02:18:34,479 --> 02:18:37,159
or not? But we are not AI here on seven guaranteed,

2692
02:18:37,680 --> 02:18:40,319
we are guaranteed. Humans very excited about that. But yeah,

2693
02:18:40,399 --> 02:18:42,239
I was like, I didn't want to mention this person

2694
02:18:42,680 --> 02:18:45,440
in person. Yes, what are you doing? Go Go go

2695
02:18:45,600 --> 02:18:47,879
hug your kids, Go take your wife out for a

2696
02:18:48,040 --> 02:18:50,639
nice dinner. People are angry, man. Not everybody has a

2697
02:18:50,719 --> 02:18:54,319
forum to spout out their sports opinions like you and

2698
02:18:54,440 --> 02:18:57,600
I'm blessed for this, very lucky. But if you have

2699
02:18:57,680 --> 02:19:00,520
aged got screwed. I mean, look, I was pissed off

2700
02:19:00,559 --> 02:19:02,360
with you based loss a championship, but I didn't write

2701
02:19:02,360 --> 02:19:05,399
a thousand words about it. I wrote like three, like damn, damn, damn.

2702
02:19:06,040 --> 02:19:08,479
I guess what I did exactly, Yeah, I wrote two words.

2703
02:19:09,520 --> 02:19:14,440
So sorry, Choke City. Oh, I'll get those kook fans

2704
02:19:14,479 --> 02:19:17,399
on you. Don't worry. Fine, they know it all muted,

2705
02:19:17,479 --> 02:19:19,520
they know where to find you. Yeah, okay, Well, what

2706
02:19:19,959 --> 02:19:22,040
how come there's thirty thousand coming after me and I

2707
02:19:22,120 --> 02:19:24,719
mentioned but there's only twenty thousand in the building Phillip,

2708
02:19:24,760 --> 02:19:28,120
the Texas Bowl, then Koog's fans. We're gonna start coming

2709
02:19:28,159 --> 02:19:30,159
after people know they're not. We're gonna have fifty fifty.

2710
02:19:31,239 --> 02:19:33,120
I'm already I have already got it. I got a

2711
02:19:33,159 --> 02:19:37,000
couple tweets ready already in the draft. Oh don't do it, Yes,

2712
02:19:37,360 --> 02:19:42,000
don't do it, yes, sir? Fifty all right, and then

2713
02:19:42,079 --> 02:19:43,799
take number two. I brought this up earlier in the

2714
02:19:43,799 --> 02:19:47,079
show today, worthy of repeating again. A lot of Chris

2715
02:19:47,159 --> 02:19:50,600
collins Worth hate on those streets last night and I

2716
02:19:50,799 --> 02:19:53,559
brought up the attention that look, some people that you

2717
02:19:53,719 --> 02:19:56,440
deal with, and this is color analysts. This is not

2718
02:19:56,520 --> 02:19:58,200
the guy called the play by play. This is the

2719
02:19:58,360 --> 02:20:04,040
color analysts. The guy described what happened and why I e. Traikeman, Uh,

2720
02:20:04,440 --> 02:20:07,879
Terry brad showing not Terry Brady's studio. J. J. Watt,

2721
02:20:08,399 --> 02:20:11,959
Tony Romo, Tom Brady. That's the analyst. Yes, there is

2722
02:20:12,000 --> 02:20:15,680
a separation between play by play an analyst. Chris Collinsworth

2723
02:20:15,719 --> 02:20:19,200
gets was getting harassed by Texans fans because he felt

2724
02:20:19,239 --> 02:20:21,799
like that there was too much loving for Pat Mahomes.

2725
02:20:22,319 --> 02:20:24,120
And my point was, and I brought this up early

2726
02:20:24,159 --> 02:20:28,399
in the show, is worth repeating. I think again, if

2727
02:20:28,440 --> 02:20:30,879
there's been any team that has been on Sunday Night Football,

2728
02:20:32,399 --> 02:20:34,760
it's either the Dallas Cowboys or the Kansasity Chiefs. For

2729
02:20:34,840 --> 02:20:38,239
good reason, Dallas draws eyeballs in Kansas City has been

2730
02:20:38,280 --> 02:20:40,239
one of the elite teams, the elitist of all the

2731
02:20:40,399 --> 02:20:43,159
NFL teams in the last seven or eight years. So

2732
02:20:43,520 --> 02:20:47,000
and when and when Chris Collinsworth does a game involving

2733
02:20:47,079 --> 02:20:50,879
Pat Mahomes, he's usually pretty good. You don't you don't

2734
02:20:50,920 --> 02:20:53,319
go eleven for thirty four or three picks, usually goes

2735
02:20:53,360 --> 02:20:55,479
twenty seven to thirty six for four touchdowns and two

2736
02:20:55,479 --> 02:20:58,680
eighty five and has two and three incredible plays. So

2737
02:20:59,040 --> 02:21:00,239
is he going to have a little bit of a

2738
02:21:00,280 --> 02:21:03,280
bias shorts Pat Patrick Mahomes, Of course he would ross

2739
02:21:03,399 --> 02:21:05,000
if you were in the role of Chris Collins worth

2740
02:21:05,280 --> 02:21:08,040
the exact same thing and be unbiased. I didn't hear,

2741
02:21:08,120 --> 02:21:10,319
like I said, I don't hear the specific things that

2742
02:21:10,360 --> 02:21:12,600
people were getting all upset about because I was at

2743
02:21:12,639 --> 02:21:14,520
a sports bar. We couldn't hear the audio that well,

2744
02:21:15,360 --> 02:21:18,239
So I honestly don't know. I would say, go get

2745
02:21:18,280 --> 02:21:20,639
a transcript of the game last night if you are

2746
02:21:20,799 --> 02:21:24,159
that bothered by it, and I promise you you're gonna

2747
02:21:24,200 --> 02:21:27,639
hear great things about Will Anderson. Yes, you're gonna hear

2748
02:21:27,680 --> 02:21:30,799
great things about Jalen Petrie and the deflection and the interception.

2749
02:21:30,920 --> 02:21:33,799
You're gonna hear about who I was. You gonna hear

2750
02:21:33,799 --> 02:21:36,360
about You're gonna hear about Tamari Lassiter, who played it

2751
02:21:36,440 --> 02:21:39,760
even though it was game time decision. Nico Collins. You're

2752
02:21:39,760 --> 02:21:42,840
gonna about Nico Collins. You're gonna hear about a Goombwallee,

2753
02:21:43,040 --> 02:21:46,559
who scored after basically he said, I did let me

2754
02:21:46,639 --> 02:21:49,399
guess that a Goombawallee did not get very many carries

2755
02:21:49,440 --> 02:21:51,760
in the red zone during practice this week. As soon

2756
02:21:51,840 --> 02:21:54,920
as he says that, which was accurate, he scores a touchdown. Beautiful.

2757
02:21:56,639 --> 02:22:00,440
So y'all relax on the Chris Collinsworth hate again. I

2758
02:22:00,479 --> 02:22:03,520
don't want to. I've never met the guy before. He's

2759
02:22:03,559 --> 02:22:06,639
obviously doing it. He's done five hundred and two games

2760
02:22:06,840 --> 02:22:09,280
in his life. All of them have been big. Well,

2761
02:22:09,319 --> 02:22:11,680
there's probably people in Kansas City saying that they were

2762
02:22:11,760 --> 02:22:13,879
loving on the Texans too much. I mean, that's just

2763
02:22:13,920 --> 02:22:15,920
how it goes. You hear ten nice things about your team,

2764
02:22:15,920 --> 02:22:18,799
who cares one nice thing about Patrick Mahomes. They're biased,

2765
02:22:19,079 --> 02:22:22,440
that's I mean, we've been dealing with this for how long.

2766
02:22:22,559 --> 02:22:24,920
I would say this. If you're going to critique media,

2767
02:22:24,959 --> 02:22:28,920
and that includes us, everybody's a critic, everybody. There's no

2768
02:22:29,079 --> 02:22:31,120
qualifications about whether or not you are a good critic

2769
02:22:31,239 --> 02:22:33,360
or a bad critic. But if you're going to critique,

2770
02:22:34,280 --> 02:22:37,600
just take a look at the hot takes. Who has

2771
02:22:37,680 --> 02:22:41,600
hot takes, Who says stuff just to gather attention, or

2772
02:22:41,639 --> 02:22:46,120
who does stuff and says things based off of homework,

2773
02:22:46,239 --> 02:22:49,639
preparation knowledge, and it kind of a little bit of

2774
02:22:49,680 --> 02:22:51,920
a been there, done that, And Chris collins Ord checks

2775
02:22:51,920 --> 02:22:55,760
all those boxes. Steven A. Smith does not check those boxes.

2776
02:22:56,120 --> 02:22:59,680
Steven A. Smith walks into his studio at eight thirty

2777
02:22:59,719 --> 02:23:01,680
whatever it is local time and says, what am I

2778
02:23:01,760 --> 02:23:03,600
going to do to fire people up? Even though I

2779
02:23:03,680 --> 02:23:06,120
really don't believe what I say. Skip Bayless lived off

2780
02:23:06,159 --> 02:23:09,079
of that. Nick Wright lived off of that. I saw

2781
02:23:09,120 --> 02:23:13,719
that firsthand. Mm hmm. The reality is that's how they've

2782
02:23:13,760 --> 02:23:17,239
got to where they are based off of their careers.

2783
02:23:17,559 --> 02:23:22,559
Chris Collinsworth just analyzes things. And Chris Collinsworth has seen

2784
02:23:22,639 --> 02:23:25,440
Pat Mahomes perform in his finest but he was He

2785
02:23:25,559 --> 02:23:28,159
was critical the fourth down call, he was critical of

2786
02:23:28,239 --> 02:23:31,479
the drop passes. He was critical of Travis Kelce. So

2787
02:23:31,840 --> 02:23:35,639
just anybody that would take unnecessary jabs, I won't mention names.

2788
02:23:37,639 --> 02:23:41,719
Chris Collinsworth is fine. He's not more biased or less

2789
02:23:41,760 --> 02:23:44,559
biased towards your football team. And that's all I would say. Okay,

2790
02:23:45,079 --> 02:23:46,920
I can't like I said, I didn't hear the broadcast,

2791
02:23:47,040 --> 02:23:50,280
so I don't have a I don't have a strong opinion.

2792
02:23:50,879 --> 02:23:54,600
Straw takes so we are here three to six, Sports

2793

02:26:35,159 --> 02:26:42,399
Instagram seems less us, less toxic, more photos. A couple

2845
02:26:42,479 --> 02:26:45,200
of jabs here and there, but everybody's pretty good. I

2846
02:26:45,280 --> 02:26:47,959
got somebody complain about me calling a heel off of

2847
02:26:48,000 --> 02:26:50,920
basketball on a basketball goal. You can't have that, ROSSI

2848

Speaker 1: Good for you.

2857
02:27:10,760 --> 02:27:12,559
Speaker 7: I want to say something. First of all, I stopped

2858
02:27:12,559 --> 02:27:14,719
at a random gas station. I got a pack of

2859
02:27:14,799 --> 02:27:19,159
carse for five bucks, and I pulled a I pulled

2860
02:27:19,200 --> 02:27:23,079
a rookie card for Hunter Brown. So I want to

2861
02:27:23,120 --> 02:27:25,959
know from you guys, when are the pictures and Casher's

2862
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:29,360
reporting here to West Palm, and who's coming from seven

2863
02:27:29,479 --> 02:27:31,440
ninety and everything. I won't know all that because I'm

2864
02:27:31,520 --> 02:27:33,159
planning on a Hunter signing this card.

2865
02:27:34,520 --> 02:27:36,079
Speaker 1: You want us to help you with this, That's gonna

2866
02:27:36,079 --> 02:27:40,159
be difficult, but we will try. No mid February the

2867
02:27:40,200 --> 02:27:40,639
Worst Palm.

2868
02:27:40,680 --> 02:27:41,840
Speaker 7: I'll take care of the rest of myself.

2869
02:27:41,840 --> 02:27:44,719
Speaker 1: Oh okay, good, Yeah, we will. We haven't talked about

2870
02:27:44,719 --> 02:27:47,479
it yet. I mean, well, I guess I see what

2871
02:27:47,520 --> 02:27:50,680
we can do. I mean, you want me to go

2872
02:27:50,840 --> 02:27:51,639
I can you know? Yeah?

2873
02:27:51,799 --> 02:27:52,079
Speaker 2: Why not?

2874
02:27:52,159 --> 02:27:53,120
Speaker 1: Of course? Yeah?

2875
02:27:53,360 --> 02:27:53,479
Speaker 12: Uh.

2876
02:27:53,639 --> 02:27:55,440
Speaker 1: It actually works out well because the All Star break

2877
02:27:55,520 --> 02:27:59,159
is at the exact same time as go the West Palm.

2878
02:28:00,200 --> 02:28:02,760
Last time it was nice. Yeah, we're not staying in that.

2879
02:28:04,639 --> 02:28:04,760
Speaker 2: Can.

2880
02:28:04,799 --> 02:28:07,159
Speaker 1: I look, I'm gonna say this. For thirty seconds, you

2881
02:28:07,239 --> 02:28:09,639
were fine. You were never in any danger. Two years

2882
02:28:09,639 --> 02:28:13,440
ago was the most disgusting hotel I've ever lived in,

2883
02:28:13,440 --> 02:28:16,520
a hotel motel I've ever been in my entire life.

2884
02:28:16,719 --> 02:28:18,719
I mean, the floor was greasy for no reason. There

2885
02:28:18,760 --> 02:28:23,920
were bloodstains in our inn that was rusted. We had

2886
02:28:23,959 --> 02:28:27,959
a telephone that was not connected to anything that's true,

2887
02:28:28,040 --> 02:28:30,840
and we had a remote. I stole the batteries. The

2888
02:28:30,920 --> 02:28:34,840
Remoka shol didn't work, and I had the crack shivers

2889
02:28:34,879 --> 02:28:37,239
at the office. And when I went to check us in,

2890
02:28:37,440 --> 02:28:40,639
the girl was eating a cheeseburger for McDonald's. She laid

2891
02:28:40,680 --> 02:28:43,440
the cheeseburger on the desk while she went and got

2892
02:28:43,520 --> 02:28:47,280
the file, which basically was like an open invitation to

2893
02:28:47,280 --> 02:28:48,719
take a bite out of it. But I didn't do so.

2894
02:28:49,239 --> 02:28:50,840
I don't think she was offering you to bite it.

2895
02:28:50,959 --> 02:28:51,000
Speaker 5: No.

2896
02:28:53,760 --> 02:28:57,360
Speaker 1: Last year, I chose the hotel much better selection. I

2897
02:28:57,440 --> 02:29:01,159
didn't choose the year before. Gordi did. Gordy Travel sucks.

2898
02:29:01,799 --> 02:29:05,840
Gordy Travel enterprises. He stays in like these four diamond places.

2899
02:29:05,920 --> 02:29:07,479
We're at a half star. He's got to get in

2900
02:29:07,520 --> 02:29:10,760
his Orbits points. I'm sorry Borbet's he Yeah, he's two

2901
02:29:10,799 --> 02:29:15,959
bit too big in the borbits Orbits is not your friend. Yeah,

2902
02:29:15,959 --> 02:29:17,719
we gotta let Matt get the points and then we're good.

2903
02:29:18,319 --> 02:29:21,559
Did you sleep better? Did you have a full break? No,

2904
02:29:21,719 --> 02:29:25,559
the bed was better, it was it worked. Hey, we

2905
02:29:25,639 --> 02:29:28,120
got it to Wi Fi once. We once, we got

2906
02:29:28,239 --> 02:29:32,239
batteries at work. We weren't worried about prison. We rememberbout

2907
02:29:32,239 --> 02:29:35,239
somebody vandalizing our vehicle. Yeah, we made sure we talk.
