is now time to get to some weekend winners.
Speaker 5: That's how win it has done. That's right.
Speaker 6: We can't have anyone to freak out out there.
Speaker 3: Okay, he's got a k bark apologer, got too far.
Speaker 6: I'm by winning. I went here and I win there.
Speaker 4: Now, what are you doing what it takes to win
a championship?
Speaker 6: Wow? Winning? Well, then I guess there's only one thing
left to do. What's that.
Speaker 5: Win the whole thing?
Speaker 4: All right? My first weekend winner is going to be
Kirby Smart, the Georgia Bulldogs head football coach, and well
for a couple of reasons. One the way that he
coached the game against Texas. I loved him being a
savage and kicking on onside kick. What's the last time
you saw a surprise onside kick? It has been a
hot minute. But Kirby Smart owns Texas there since he's
been at Georgia, I mean, Texas has figured out a
lot of things they have not figured out Kirby Smart
and the Georgia Bulldogs and Georgia just continues to find
a way. But the reason he's a weekend winner for
me after the game was the quote that he had.
He said, a lot of these kids want to check.
They don't want physicality. If you have the check and
no physicality, you end up with nothing. You're not getting
checks at our place. We're hitting people. You're not just
getting checks at our place. We're hitting people. That's why
Georgia's Georgia. Yeah, and ils everywhere Georgia players they're getting paid.
But when you have a coach that says, hey, you're
not just gonna come here and cash a check or
you won't be here very long. You gotta want to
hit somebody. I want some physicality as well. What do
we talk about with LSU, Right, you turn on tape
early in the season, where's physicality? Like, where's the meme,
the nasty, the tough. Now you've seen it more in
the last couple of weeks, for sure. But it's got
to be the standard. It has to be the non negotiable.
It has to be the thing that when you sign
through high school recruiting or the transfer portal with LSU,
that you have that mentality, because again he said, a
lot of these kids want to check. They don't want physicality,
and here at Georgia, you're not just getting checks.
Speaker 6: We're hitting people. We can winner. Kurby Smart. Yes, you
did a thing where you just pay them more for
hitting harder.
Speaker 4: Call it a balanty they need if they want to
put a plack up of a speech, and that's the
one you need to put a placau.
Speaker 6: Yeah that's good, that's great. Yeah, Curvy Smart. I don't
think anybody questions that Kirby Smart does it the right
way and sends the right message and runs the right
type of programs. So yeah, that's uh uh. I think
guys like Kirby Smarter is starting to get few and
far between. So let's find one of those here at
L s U. And I was just joking about the
bounty We don't nobody's need a set of bounty system. Yeah,
I didn't go well last time they did that. It's
pretty bad, all right. I got a weekend loser here. Man.
I hate to do this, I really do. I think
everybody might be expecting this. I don't want to do this,
but I'm gonna do it. I'm sorry. You're a great,
You're an L s U great, You're a great in
the NFL. Jamar Chase, what are we doing? You can't
be spitting on somebody last night or was it yesterday?
Last night? Yesterday? Yesterday? The afternoon game, late in the
afternoon game, late on a Sunday afternoon. H you and
uh it looks bad early on on Jalen Ramsey's party guy.
That's uh uh. He's always crossing the line. He's always
pushing buttons at the part of this game. But you
a line crosser. He's one of those guys that is
one of the best in the NFL. He's been that
way a long time. But he pushes buttons. And I
was a little disappointed to see that. Jamar Chase got
his buttons pushed enough to where nobody saw it during
the time, so he didn't get kicked out of the game.
He didn't get punished during the game. Jayalen Ramsey actually
got kicked out of the game for punching him. But
I think we can all say, yeah, I would have
probably punched him too, because he spit on him. I
kind of blame a lot of stuff. I blamed the
NFL on this a lot for not coming down hard
enough on the guy the first week of the season.
Jamar Chase also was asked about it after the game,
and he said, I didn't open my mouth to that man.
Uh so he you know, I guess he didn't realize
that there's a thirty thousand cameras there at NFL football
games people like him. So Jamar Chase, I'm sorry, dude,
I love you, But Weekend Loser.
Speaker 1: When did that become a fiend?
Speaker 7: I don't know, That's what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like everybody's getting this year of liquid coming out
of people's face, whether their eyeballs of their mouths.
Speaker 2: This year, I've seen this from high school level all
the way up. Like it's just like, I don't know,
you in sould, like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 6: Do you remember spitting incidents when No, you played a
long time. No, I don't remember a spinning incident.
Speaker 4: I mean the Romanowski was such an outlier, or Bill
Romski spit on JJ Stokes back in the day, like
that was like the only thing, and that was way
before we were playing. Yeah, certainly not while we were playing. Like,
I don't remember anybody spitting.
Speaker 6: It's just like maybe it just seeing it once on
national TV the opening game of the entire football season,
before the opening play, they got spits on DAK and
everybody saw it. So like trash in trash out. You
know your parents didn't want you to listen to trash
music because trash in trash out. Yeah, you might not
want to say that curse word. It's gonna slip out
if it's coming in. Maybe you don't want to spit,
but because that's in your brain and you know that
the NFL didn't really do anything about it. Early on,
a spit heard around the world that was so visible
you had a chance to be like, nope, you're going
to be been it for four games without pay. That
one hurts. Maybe nobody's spitting after that blame unfl bringing
that man Jamar dwn.
Speaker 7: All Right, yeah, a week in winner. I'm gonna go
with ACC Headquarters, big weekend winner. That's because Duke lost,
and that's something that they wanted to happen. They might
never say it, but they wanted that to happen because
Duke at five and four coming into this weekend, had
the best thoughts to win the ACC and that could
have potentially taken them out of the automatic qualifying stage
of the Collegeball Playoff and let North Texas or James
Madison potentially take that other AQ spot. Now that you're
looking at Virginia at six and one, Georgia Tech escape.
So you've got the teams Miami obviously at fifteenth. Right now,
you've got some teams in position that now that Duke's
had their second loss. So they're happy about that over
there at the ACC headquarters.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they did not want Duke to find a way
to win the ACC and he left out of the
College Football Playoff the ACC.
Speaker 6: Gosh, Batley cannot figure it out.
Speaker 4: I mean, Georgia Tech almost loses to a really bad
Boston College team. Louisville does lose to a bad Clemson
team at home.
Speaker 6: It's just every single week.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: Uva did have a nice bounce back a beat dude,
But yeah, it's whoever wins that league is going to get.
I would think beat up on in the COSGE Football playoffs.
Speaker 2: Weekend winner for me Missouri running back of mod Hardy.
So if you remember four weeks ago, like there were
some Heisman buzzes.
Speaker 1: Around a mod Hardy.
Speaker 2: He had three straight games under one hundred yards though,
and Missouri struggled to run the ball, so that that.
Speaker 1: Momentum kind of died down.
Speaker 2: Well, he bounced back in a big way on Saturday
twenty five carries three hundred yards rushing and three touchdowns
against the Mississippi State. Missouri improved a seven and three.
But here's the impressive part. That is now his second
game this year with two hundred and fifty yards rushing.
Every other running back in the country hath combined for
two two hundred and fifty yard rushing games and Amna
Hardy has two by himself.
Speaker 1: Really great season for him.
Speaker 2: Remember he was a fourteen hundred yard rusher last year ULM.
He was kind of the prize running back in the
portal and he continues to step a great season.
Speaker 6: Did you say half instead of half? Have I thought
he said half that Shakespeare hath arrived. If I did,
it was not intentional, it'd been sweet. If it was,
I got another loser, Go ahead, sir Kean Coleman. Yeah,
hide receiver for the Buffalo Bill second year player too.
I got some nice cards of his. Got benched for
being late to a practice, just benched, like hardcore, Like
he didn't dress, not even dressing out. And then there
was videos of him in pregame not dressed out. Everybody
else is getting warmed up with him, like dancing to
the music and stuff. It ain't a time to dance
when you get benched. He gets called out by his teammates,
like after the game, I had the uh like interviews
in the in the locker room. The guy needs to
grow up and do all this stuff, like when your
teammates are saying that you need to grow up, it's
not a great luck, guys. And what he and his
quote when he got interviewed afterwards, quote just got to
be better. End quote. You can't be late in the NFL,
my guy, I just and then he says, is then
another question? Is there a lesson? Not being learned. Is
this second time this season being late? No, I wouldn't
say that.
Speaker 4: That was a do you I mean, do you remember
anybody ever being late in the NFL? Like if they were,
it was like because like they literally like got in
a rack or like tak got a flat town there.
Speaker 6: And you knew like an hour beforehand. I remember when
we were in Seattle, we were in Miami plan Yeah,
and there was a guy that was miss Curpew who
he was a practice squad quarterback. Yeah, Miss Curfew and
he for whatever reason, he wasn't on the plane on
the way home.
Speaker 4: I don't really Yeah, I know where he was. Yeah,
Now I didn't have anything like that. So yeah, we
got commercial. Yeah, for sure. You can find your way
back to run spirit back week in winter. Speaking of
cards that you've got, Bryce Young yeah man thirty one
of forty five, four hundred and forty eight yards, three tous.
Speaker 6: Or forty eight for forty eight let's.
Speaker 4: Go ten yards per card prices, three touchdowns, no interceptions,
Tetoroe McMillan continues to be great in his rookie year too.
Eight catches, one hundred and thirty yards, two touchdowns for
tetor Roa and your guy Xavier Legain four catches eighty
three yards trying to get to that thousand yard mark
for you, Carolina Panthers are the like the most like.
Speaker 6: Are they good?
Speaker 1: Are they bad?
Speaker 6: What are you? I don't know.
Speaker 4: There's six and five, there's six and five, and they
still have a very good chance in a bad NFC South.
Speaker 6: I'll tight through for four or forty eight yards, but
not one of those yards look pretty. I promise you
that it doesn't matter though it looks hard. He found
they did it. He found a way. If anybody is
looking in the market for Bryce Young Black, rookie black
Pandora Downtown number twenty five, p s A. Ten.
Speaker 1: We were just talking about.
Speaker 6: Panthers are half a game out by the way of
first place because a bunch of.
Speaker 2: Six, and they're gonna get the first place too, by
the way.
Speaker 6: He's yeah, And speaking of the South like the Saints,
I don't I don't know. If you wanted to see
Kirk Cousins play against you this week, I.
Speaker 1: Would much rather see Michael Pennock says.
Speaker 6: Exactly, because you don't know what you're gonna get with
Michael Pennix the good is good, but the bad is
like historically bad. Kirk's just gonna be like, oh it,
Drake London, pretty good, go to him. Oh b John,
Let's just give it to him.
Speaker 7: And you know he's itching to play too, man, after
being on the bench as long as I mean, he's
he's ready to get out there.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like and honestly, this year, unfortunately for Falcons fans, this
year you kind of do know what you're getting with
Michael Pennocks more often than not, and it's not great.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Kirk Duggan's coming to play this week.
Speaker 4: Saints right now would have the fourth overall pick, by
the way, those keeping track at home, it would go Titans, Giants, Browns, Saints, Jets, Raiders, Commanders,
Rams because they have the Falcons first round pick. Bengals,
Cardinals and Commanders. I know they're three and eight. Man,
you get a pretty solid player there at number seven.
There's a couple of there's a couple of things they
shore up and they're not They're not as far as
away as their record, so could be interesting.
Speaker 6: Therefore, got JD five.
Speaker 4: Raiders are bad bad, Jets are bad bad, Saints are
bad bad.
Speaker 6: You know who is Giants two and nine.
Speaker 4: I feel weird too, because because.
Speaker 6: They beat the Eagles. They beat the Eagles and Chargers
to playoff teams. They lost the Saints. They beat the Eagles. Yeah,
and they lost the Saints the next week.
Speaker 2: I think it was the week before, and then they
beat the Eagles. Eagles was a Thursday night game.
Speaker 6: Another disaster team that's on a win streak right now
because is the Dolphins. Oh my god, they beat the Bills,
then they beat the the Commedi's in so they think, Okay,
the Europe games are kind of popping right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it might not be the prettiest matchups, but they're
good game.
Speaker 6: They're good games.
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted to win that game on Sunday. I don't
know if you were following it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Dolphins going for it.
Speaker 2: The Commanders went forward before that, and it was a
tie ball game in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: Neither team wanted to kick it.
Speaker 6: I think they're they're trying to tank. They just they're
bad at tanking. Yeah, Commanders would have won.
Speaker 4: Zach Ertz slips on an angle route would have been
a touchdown.
Speaker 6: I hate to see it. Good game though, mm hmm.
Competitive game, competitive game, that's a good games. NFL. Some
of the best players in the entire world playing football.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, offensively if you're looking for execution.
Speaker 6: It wasn't the best game. So you know what, a
bad football game is better than no football game. That's true.
Speaker 1: We'll have one tonight.
Speaker 6: Oh, I don't know you, I don't know. The country
can't wait to watch.
Speaker 4: The most bandwagon fan base matchup you could possibly.
Speaker 6: Have in the NFL. There are four fights in the I.
Speaker 4: Would say ninety seven percent of the fan bases couldn't
name like five players on their.
Speaker 6: Air quot team.
Speaker 4: Where is that game in Vegas? It's going to be
the same crowd regardless of where it's at. Babe, all right,

joins us when we come back here on OTB.
Speaker 3: Off the bench.
Speaker 4: I don't know what.
Speaker 3: Two thousand and seven Champs Purple and Gold to the core.
This is off the bench with Hester and Flynn, Baton
Rouge's go to for all things Louisiana sports.
Speaker 4: I mean Moose, well done, sir, I mean the president
of shreepart.
Speaker 6: Uh. Do you ever get nervous that you didn't play
the edited version?
Speaker 7: Uh no, because I preview them all before I played that.
Speaker 6: Uh you know, nobody's listen. It'd be fine.
Speaker 4: You know, swear word here, swear word there. I mean
Matt did a big swear word like his second day,
So it wasn't a big big one. You can't say
it was a top one. Yeah, the top five, top five,
I can't say it. Okay, everybody said anything, so we're
in the clear. Somebody that's maybe almost dabbled in a
swear word or two. Our guy, Devin Snow aka Holding Mayo,
joined us now, as he does every single Monday.
Speaker 6: What up, Dev? How we doing? How we living?
Speaker 5: Yo? What's haiding? How are we doing?
Speaker 6: We got We're doing great. Let me knows. You got
a victory. It was a one point went over Arkansas.
Speaker 4: But you know what, he'll take a victory right now,
So like that's the good. Uh Now, one of the
things that we got to start with having you on.
I don't know if you saw this, well I'm sure
you did. Gail Benson did an interview with Jeff Duncan
a couple of days ago and defended your favorite guy,
GM Mickey Loomis, and uh said it was ridiculous that
people are demanding that he gets fired because and I quote,
he does a great job. So, Dev, when you hear
that about Saints Guneral manager Mickey Loomis and the owner
saying he does a great job, what are your thoughts
on that there?
Speaker 6: Dev?
Speaker 5: I just think it's be talk, that's all it is.
I think you know, who knows what's gonna happen with that, right,
But I think it's towards the end. I do. I
don't know if it'll be after this year or you know,
after next year, but it's definitely it's definitely towards the end.
I don't know how it works out. I don't know
if he goes into a different role or whatever, but
you know, it just feels like it's towards the end.
It really does. I mean, the pressure is too high.
I mean, how many drafts do we got to see?
You know? So I think that's just TV talk. I
think that's all it is. And then you know, people
put too much in it for the Gail Bentson thing.
You know, she owns the team. She's not like Jerry
Jones and all these guys we see on TV and
stuff like that. She's not as Mickey Loomis is the
one that's heavily involved. Another name that I never hear
brought up ever, never seen it tweet it out. Nothing,
Nobody's ever mentioned this name, Jeff I Island never catches
any smooke whatsoever. And this guy has been responsible for
majority of these drafts. I'm saying, it's just it's a
case of just not knowing who's making the calls. And
I'm not, by any means defending Mickey Rooms. I can't
wait until the day that will move on, right, But
there's a lot more people involved in just Dale Benson,
you know, so.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Jeff, Jeff. People forget he was a GM and
the Dolphins, right, I believe Jammy And when they hired
Joe Philbin as the head coach there and he didn't
do very good there. Uh, you bring up a good
point there, because there's a lot of people that fault.
You can't just like, you know, have two bad franchises
and it'd be single handed. So there's a lot of
people that fault there. But I heard some people talking
about this on Friday after Gale kind of said all this,
and I let's put all the how good of a person,
all the philanthropy and all the good that Dale Benson
does for the state and everything, let's just look at
it from a sports perspective, like do you think that
she like in the conversation for like one of the
worst sports teams owners out there with let me look
at the two franchises right now, she owns the two
teams of like where they are at in the history
behind them.
Speaker 5: I mean, it just depends on how you look at
If you look at it just from a strictly performance perspective, yes,
I mean she's definitely you know, she's definitely not at
the top. But if you look at it from keeping
teams in New Orleans, I mean amongst all the pressure,
you know, I hear this all the time. People on
the internet always, oh, well, this city can't sustain two
sports franchises what they have for twenty two years, you know,
I think that's impressive in itself. Just I mean, with
all this pressure, all this, I mean, every year they
talk about the Pelicans move. Every year for like the
last fifteen years they've talked about the Pelicans moving. They
still here. Obviously, the performance isn't great. I mean, the
team's two and eleven. The Saints are doing bad. You know,
it kind of just is what it is. We've been
here before. But yeah, I guess it just depends on
how you look at I'm happy that we got two
professional sports teams in New Orleans me because if any
of if any one of those teams that a moved
or you know, that would that would break my heart,
It really would. So I don't know, she's not the best,
but yeah, it's.
Speaker 6: Yeah performance wise, Yeah, yeah, of course, like we all
want miss Gail to do amazing, we want the sights
to be great.
Speaker 5: But she's like my grandma, dude. That's what kills me
about it. She literally does She literally sounds just like
my me.
Speaker 6: Man. So but she But that is a great counter
like point kind of argument to that is like she
has done a really good job of keeping despite all
the rumors that fly around all the time, that she
has kept them here and sounds like they're not going anywhere,
just like Mickey.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I do, like I do think that, like
the Pells are closer than ever that to you know,
maybe relocating, but still time.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 5: You know that that thing on until twenty twenty nine.
All it takes is one good season, man, And we
started to flip the page towards that this past week
when they got rid of Willie Green, you know, because
it just wasn't working out, you know, with the Tels.
It's a rotation issue, man, It's finding that rhythm of
who is your five guys? Who is it Who is
your five guys that you can lean on to start
the majority of the games? I know, stuff happens where
you got to start different people, blah blah blah. Who
is your five guys? Right? And you know, de Zion,
things just ain't at this point, it's not helping. It's
hurting more than it's helping, which it really has been
for a long time. But I think at this point,
I don't care if you a Zion supporter or not,
because I'm I was his biggest supporter. It's hurting us, man,
it really is because every time he's out, the rotation's
got to be adjusted. Chemistry has got to be rebuilt.
When he comes back, chemistry has got to get rebuilt.
You know, It's it's a mess, man, It's just a
It's an endless Truman show.
Speaker 4: I mean, deav thirteen games this year for the Pelicans.
You've had losing streaks of five games and six games
already in those thirteen games, so.
Speaker 6: Had to go.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's been past due, but you can you
can't justify what was happening on the court. I'm not
saying that the most talented team in the NBA, but
they have a talented enough roster where you can't have
two different losing streaks like that within the same season,
thirteen games, and like they had no choice but to
fire Willie Green, and I can't wait to see what
they end up doing and if they make a move
to bring in somebody for the rest of this year,
if they stay with the interim coach, whatever it might be.
But you're too talented to play as poorly as they
have so far this year, regardless of what Zion's done,
not done, been there, not been there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you can't tell me that, right, You
can't tell me that this team doesn't have talent on
it definitely does, you know. It's it's it's dudes, just
it's dude. The injuries have killed this team for so
many years, right for instance, like if me SI's out,
you know, if Pool's out, Zion's out and desontem and
they out, you know, I mean, that sucks. It's it's
it's extremely hard, especially when you got a bunch of
young dudes who are promising, you know, Fiaz Queen both
their jerseys a sold out in the shop, like people
believe uh in the rookies. It's just like you can't
expect them to, you know, right the ship first year
and you know, win a bunch of games and take over.
You know, you just can't, Man, you can't. Doesn't mean
that they're not going to be great, you just can't.
You can't expect them to do that in their first
year because they still got to make all these rookie mistakes.
You know, same thing with Shock. I mean, Shock looked
great last week, but you can't expect him not to
make rookie mistakes. He's gonna do it. It's gonna happen,
all right.
Speaker 6: Then let's take a let's take go outside of the
New Orleans city limits here, outside of Louisiana. Uh yeah,
state lines here. Let's get your quick thoughts on Draymond Green.
Anyone had a worst weekend than this guy gets postered
by Wimby and then as a fan that calls Angel
Reese and he tries to fight the fan. Anybody have
a worst week in the Draymond Green?
Speaker 5: Did anybody have a worst weekend? I'm sure there's somebody, right,
but I saw I saw that stuff, and actually I
was at the game. I guess it was on what
last Thursday night? And that's exactly what I was sitting
do and I do was hackling like that. Yeah, I
was sitting right there. I mean it's right by the way,
like currency sits and you know all that. So when
I saw that and then they had a measy fight
the night I was at Meathi got ejected and uh,
some other dude got ejected, and that was right in
front of me. So that that little spot right there,
that's the conflict area, right.
Speaker 6: Good spot. Those tickets are high right there, angel.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think those tickets went for six thousand to
start the year, six thousand the seat to start the
year for the Lakers game. By the time the Lakers
game came, the tickets were only fifteen hundred seat. That's
how much they went down.
Speaker 6: Did you see him looking straight up at Wimby trying
to fight him and getting like talking talking trash to him.
Looked like a yeah, yeah, yeah, five year old little
brother talking at you.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I'd probably say maybe Pat Beverley had a bad
week worst weekend, that little twitch stream of dude, he
had a pretty bad weekend. What's his name? He's all
over my feet.
Speaker 4: Do you think these two forty year old sitting in
these chairs no anything Twitch.
Speaker 5: Oh you don't. I mean I need to get on that.
Speaker 6: I mean the think that follows you around like twenty
four hours a day. Dev. I would have to get
you to help me out on that bud.
Speaker 5: Yeah no, no, you could stay seated. You ain't got
to do all that. Just get on Twitch and rip packs. Bro.
That'day they got a market for everything on Twitch so that.
Speaker 6: We can't get behindway you can do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's a good that's a good platform to
rip packs on. That's where I'll rip packs on Twitch
and then I'll sit there and play. I play Zombies
for like six hours just sitting there on Twitch. You
might as well. I mean I played Xbox my whole life.
I felt dumb when I realized, damn, I could just
get on Twitch and.
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, people get on there and just watch
you play video games.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they asked me a bunch of dumb questions.
But yeah, it's cool, it's a it's a it's a
good time. It's a good it's a good community.
Speaker 6: You any good cards recently?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Uf few? Wise for sure. I opened up a
hobby box and I got a dust and porio.
Speaker 6: Oh I saw that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like the holy grail for you to open
up a package autograph diamond.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you only get two autographs in the
whole box, and that was one of them. And it's
just like, man, the stars aligned, because what are you
to get a Dust and Potio autograph. It's the time
a year. I mean, come on, man, it couldn't have
worked out any better.
Speaker 6: Is there any better feeling in the world than hitting
a one hundred and fifty dollars card in the four
hundred dollars hobby box?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Dude. The thing about it is is that was
my first hobby box I ever opened up on any
sport and I actually got it because I preordered. I
got it for one fifty, so that Dust and Portio
called alone paid for that experience. Which I'll never sell
that thing, No exactly.
Speaker 6: You hit a good card, you're not gonna sell sell
that thing. I can't do it. Won't do it.
Speaker 5: I'm going I'm going to the casket with that one
by the young guy. Have to rip down one off.
Speaker 4: Already to have any idea RB and our day get
a Monday here, celebrate a LSU victory.
Speaker 6: It's been a while.
Speaker 4: Saints didn't lose because they didn't play, but they didn't lose.
And Willie Green is no longer the Pelicans coach. I
gotta imagine you're setting up for a nice arby. In
our day, I would.
Speaker 6: Say, yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I feel good. You know what I'm saying.
I don't feel a lot. A lot of times I
wake up on Monday and I don't like I'm like,

them set. Okay, you're showing out many showing out too much.
Career day show award winning day.
Speaker 4: I know you're probably like you know, cause you know
you gotta play generic music in your in your afternoon
slot there. It's like you're you're cooking cooking with gas
right now.
Speaker 1: Like I'm just this is the reason behind it.
Speaker 7: I've just I've been on like a two thousands wrap
kick here the last like three days.
Speaker 6: Look, Luda underappreciated.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, got some bangers something that like when
you go back and you like start to seeing them
as an adult, You're like, let me put this on
a burden, sitting and play in front of everybody.
Speaker 6: Huh, all right, it's all good. Yeah, something about area codes.
You know, good question for our listeners out there. But
we did a little film study earlier, and we're probably
gonna write our film review article this week for losing
our sports dot. No, we've been dabbling. We've been throwing
throwing some ideas around, maybe uh doing an entire game
film review. Yeah, would you like to see that? Yeah?
Would you like to see on YouTube? Yeah?
Speaker 4: We would have h we'd have our own page and
we would go through the entire game and we would
just little comments here, comments there.
Speaker 6: On each play.
Speaker 4: I'd make sure that the quarterback didn't rewind it too much,
because quarterbacks like to rewind seven times before the ball snapped.
I'd make sure that, you know, we keep it tight
an hour hour long film review of the entire game.
That's pretty tight, I know, because I'd make sure that
you didn't rewind just to blab about something for every
quarterback about his left foot being back instead of his right.
Speaker 6: We're dabbling, we're thinking about it, and we could you know,
I know, El she's only got a few more games left,
but we could kind of do Saints and do different things.
Maybe even go back to the archives, maybe some older games. Yeah,
go back to the What we're trying to do right
now is get the telestrator situation.
Speaker 4: Working, trying to get the film on set. Telestrator YEP,
a little bit tougher than my thought. It is kicking
our tail.
Speaker 6: Lane Kiffen.
Speaker 4: There's an extension on the table, and he's asked about
it basically every week now, right, And.
Speaker 6: You know, the.
Speaker 4: Press conferences are probably getting more difficult because you've got
to answer the same questions over and over. But and
I'll ask the room this, what do y'all make of him?
Not directly answering the question. Because there's a lot of
coaches around the country, like I think Kenny Dillingham is
probably the latest to kind of come out and be like, hey,
I'm not going anywhere like home is home.
Speaker 6: Now. You know, Lane Kiffen is different than Kenny Dillingham.
Speaker 4: He's certainly different than Brent Key's different personality and obviously
Lane does a great job with the social media and
creating buzz and all that. But he said it would
be disrespectful, you know, to answer that question right now
with the season that Ole Miss was having, so a
lot of people are looking into that saying, well, I
mean that's he's obviously going to leave. Like he's not
shutting it down, He's not just saying flat out no,
what do we make of Lane Kiffin right now after
these games? Not just coming out and saying I'm not
going there, it's not going to happen. And his answer
was like, it would, you know, be disrespectful to this
team right now to answer those questions during this run.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but the more time that goes by, it it's
going to be disrespectful to the team to not answer
the question. And I think you're already starting to hear
the rumblings of that, like is he you know, if
he's not going to commit, is do we let him
coach going forward?
Speaker 5: Him?
Speaker 6: Like we're we're kind of headed towards like a head
on collision with an unprecedented situation that could potentially play out,
which is your playoff team. You're a top ten team,
you have everything in front of you, and potentially the
head coach that's coaching that team doesn't finish out the season.
Now this is all speculation, of course, and I'm sure
Lane's trying to keep all as much attention away from
that as possible. But you can't do it. The more
you win, the bigger the job is. Like, it's unavoidable,
and I'm sure he's trying to keep his options open
without having to lie and without having to make it
a story. And it's a it's it's an unfair situation
he's being put in. I'm sure it's a hunfair situation
that ole Miss is being put in. But that's when
you're old Miss and your coach is successful. Unfortunately, this
is what happens. This is what comes for you at
the end of the day. So of course they want
him to commit. He doesn't necessarily want to commit, yeah,
because he doesn't know what he wants to do, but
he knows that he doesn't want to lie.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, Yeah, I mean it's it's getting to a point.
Speaker 6: So there was a uh.
Speaker 4: There was a user on x that said he had
a tweet ole miss will have a very good football
coach in twenty twenty six. It may be Lane Kiffen,
it may not be Lane Kiffen, but I trust current
iteration of old miss to hire good people and win
at a high level, because they hire good people and
win at a high level in everything.
Speaker 6: And that was that was his quote. Well, I bring
that up because the secretary of State.
Speaker 4: In Mississippi, you know, not just the governor of Louisiana,
got to keep politics in it here. He quote tweeted
that tweet and said, couldn't agree more. At some point,
it would be nice for our current coach and then
tags Lane Kiffin to reciprocate the love and gratitude shown
by our administration, players, fan base, and collective.
Speaker 6: It shouldn't be this hard.
Speaker 1: I love that we are not the only state going
through this.
Speaker 2: Shout out to the Mississippi Secretary of State, You're a
real one. At this point, I'd be very surprised if
Lane Kiffn coached all this next year. I saw fans
on Twitter on Saturday night after his his postgame press
conference being like we're sick of this, Like just go
ahead and leave now. I mean there's like Hunt came, yeah,
Hunt came in dur and break. It was like, oh,
Neil McCready was saying that he may not even coach
the Egg Bowl at this point, Like it just.
Speaker 1: Seems kind of ugly, like he may be somewhere else
next year. It seems like it is.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think what you asked about, what
you take from his comments, I it's the answer. I
expect a guy who hadn't signed an extension that's had
been on his desk for months to give like it
he's he's keep he wants, he's weighing the options like
he's actually he's thinking about this and the longer. If
he wasn't, he had just sign the extension by now,
right right, So I mean like that's you know, actions
louder than words, but the words back up the actions
most of the time too. And that's that's what happens
with I don't think that's what's happening with Lane right now.
Speaker 2: And to say it's disrespectful to the current team, the
only way it's disrespectful is if you're seriously considering leaving
to answer the question, because if you answer the question
and say no, and you're truthful about it, that's stabilizes things.
But to say it would be disrespectful to answer it
means you're probably leading.
Speaker 6: Can you imagine a situation where he doesn't coach the playoffs? Wow,
that would be wild times.
Speaker 2: And it seems like like oh Miss is kind of
like okay with it at this point. Everything I've read
is like, oh Miss is kind of pissed that he
hasn't signed his extension yet, and if he takes a job,
they don't want him to finish out the season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so the exact quote, just real quick, I
know we're going for a break. He said, I love
what we are doing here. Today was awesome. I don't
talk about that stuff. To even talk about it right
now would be so disrespectful to our players and how
well they played today.
Speaker 6: So that was there quote. I agree with that after
a game I'm assuming Yeah, yeah, right, absolutely, that's the
right thing to say. So Lane Kiffen still up in
the air, and not just here, I mean he leaves
coin flip, Well, is it a coin flip between here
and Florida? If he leaves, I.
Speaker 4: Mean, obviously he's gonna he's gonna prefer one or the other.
Now which one that is? We don't know that the
message around one or the other. Now Florida is headed
for their third losing season in the last four I
think about how bad we feel here at LSU and
you're six and four and it feels awful. Right, They've
had three losing seasons in the last four years.
Speaker 6: I think until everything outside of the football building happened,
before all that situation unfolded from the top down in Louisiana,
I think would have been by far the favorite. I
think it's probably a coin toss now.
Speaker 4: So that's the latest there with Lane Kiffin. All Right,
gotta eulogy. Another tough another tough Monday, and now we'll
put someone to rest when we come.

quick to turn it over to Matthew.
Speaker 6: Oh boy, this is gonna be quick, this is gonna
be tough. We're gonna have to lay this guy to
rest real fast. We gathered today to honor and the
rise and the fall of the Willy Green era, a
tenured defined by heart culture and a collection of third
quarter collapses now echo through Smoothie King Center eternity. Willy
Green brought hope to New Orleans. He brought leadership, he
brought stability, and yes, he also brought some rotations that
left us staring at the TV wondering if our remotes
were broken, because surely that lineup couldn't have been intentional.
But in fairness, when half of your roster is on
the injury report every other night. Sometimes the rotation is
just who can physically walk onto the court. It wasn't
always easy. In fact, it was rarely easy. Every season
seemed to be a rerun of the same movie. Pelicans
show early promise, Zion looks unstoppable, brandon Ingram gets hot,
the vibes are immaculate, and then suddenly, in the blink
of an MRI, the entire plan unravels. Zion's hamstring, Zion's foot,
Zion's ankle. Soiunds everything. It happened so often that the
Pelicans trainings app deserved that deserve frequent flyer miles just
from escorting him to imaging rooms. And through it all,
Willie stood there, steady as ever, telling us we don't
bow down close the book on this chapter. We do
so with gratitude and with a quiet prayer that maybe,
just maybe, the next era will include healthier stars, cleaner rotations,
and third quarters that don't require emotional support beverages. Thank you,
Willie Green, for the culture, for the calm, for the effort,
Amen flock up.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest, in the blink of an MRI,
might be the best line I've ever heard. That's going
in the Hall of Fame. Willie's not but that is
we love you. We'll see it tomorrow. That's incredible. That's incredible.
All Right, I go to Rouss dot com. Why are
