00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 1>Good evening everybody, and welcome to our last fire up

2
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 1>of the year. Are you guys all ready for it?

3
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

4
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's do this. It's sad that I'm.

5
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.719
<v Speaker 4>Not ready for a year at the end of the year,

6
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:38.399
<v Speaker 4>I'm not ready for Christmas.

7
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm not ill. You got a week to go, buddy, It's.

8
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Gonna come, whether you're ready or not.

9
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 4>I know it always, it does every year.

10
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.079
<v Speaker 1>It does every year.

11
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, yes, it's good to see you. And no,

12
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 4>door wasn't blocked. He was putting time out. So before

13
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 4>he starts even saying anything to stop saying something about

14
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 4>will he wouldn't do it.

15
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 1>You got time out there you go. We want people

16
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 1>commenting about what we're talking about, not necessarily other issues

17
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>or other things. So we welcome all kinds of great,

18
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, comments, as long as they're related to what

19
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about. So the topic and the title hmmm,

20
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>bowling anyone you almost oh, ball games, that's what we're

21
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, although I will say Scott

22
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>will tell you he once got an award for the

23
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 1>most unusual form and bowling, so we talked it mm hmm. Yeah.

24
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>But we're not going to We are going to talk

25
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 1>about the college bowl games going on this weekend. We're

26
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>going to see the first of the college football playoffs

27
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and this is the first time that they're actually doing

28
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 1>it in home stadiums.

29
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 4>Yes, for the first round of the college playoffs. Yes,

30
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 4>And did you see the stipulations on the ticket And

31
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 4>I think it's great they did it this way.

32
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, let us know.

33
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 4>They made sure that it was forty percent for each

34
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.280
<v Speaker 4>team home or away gets tickets. That way, the home

35
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 4>teams can't just dominate the whole stadium. The other twenty

36
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 4>percent are for media, politicians, stars and crap like that.

37
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.919
<v Speaker 1>They are letting the ticket sales revenue all goes to

38
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>the CFP, so it doesn't go to the home schools.

39
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>The homeschools get to keep the parking and the concession sales.

40
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing that's going to be different is

41
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>away teams have the option for their hype video during

42
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>their introductions, just like the home team does. So that's

43
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 1>a little different, right.

44
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:10.479
<v Speaker 4>So like, if nope, not just talking about Michigan here

45
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 4>to talk about Michigan. If Michigan was in it and

46
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 4>they were playing against somebody, you would see the hype

47
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 4>video they did in honor of James Earl Jones this year,

48
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.039
<v Speaker 4>because that's the one they use for every game with

49
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 4>him passing away. Mhm A, I'll be here. I have

50
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 4>faith in him. He shows up every show.

51
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:39.199
<v Speaker 1>That is smoking. Jay set a fire under the guys. Well,

52
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>sometimes the guys need a fire lit underneath them.

53
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.719
<v Speaker 4>Number one, I'm gonna say it right now, Joshua door

54
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 4>Will is not a semi virgin. He doesn't need to

55
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 4>hear that. In my chat, I warned you he did

56
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.120
<v Speaker 4>it again, so I put you in timeout, and that's

57
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 4>where it ended.

58
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>So the first playoff game starts tomorrow night, and it's

59
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>not an in state rivalry, but it's kind of like

60
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>a small rivalry. It's at Notre Dame, and Indiana's gonna

61
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>play Notre Dame. So let's go around the room what

62
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>we think is gonna happen in this game. And I'm

63
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna let because I know George is a big fan

64
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>of Notre Dame, I'm gonna let George go first.

65
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Well big fan.

66
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean I had the Notre Dame experience many

67
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 5>many years ago. But I think that all Indiana has

68
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.360
<v Speaker 5>had a great year, no question about it. I mean

69
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 5>nobody predicted them for being in the CFP. But I'm

70
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 5>telling you what, Notre Dame's had a damn good year

71
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 5>two and they want to see it continue as well.

72
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 5>Very interesting though that the two schools from that state

73
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.680
<v Speaker 5>are playing each other. So you got number ten against

74
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 5>number seven is where they ended up in the rankings.

75
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 5>This is going to be a home game for Notre Dame.

76
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 5>But as Candy mentioned and Jeremy talked about, you know

77
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 5>this is they're trying to try to be fair with

78
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 5>this audience, with the fans in the stands. But I

79
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 5>think it'll still be prominent that the home team is

80
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 5>going to get more cheers, more excitement than the road team.

81
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 5>But that being said, yeah, I would think this game

82
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 5>is going to be closer than a lot of people think.

83
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:30.279
<v Speaker 2>Though.

84
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna go with Notre Dame thirty in Indiana twenty

85
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 5>four as my final score this first game.

86
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Pensman, what do you think?

87
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 3>Well, before I give my before I give my predictions,

88
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.720
<v Speaker 3>go out and go to bet us and keyword under

89
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 3>Sideline Sports and place a bet between of these pool

90
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 3>games and maybe you'll get a discount on your first bet.

91
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 3>So I just want to point that out. But with

92
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 3>that said, go I'm going for Notre Dame in this game.

93
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be close, like George said, and I have

94
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.879
<v Speaker 3>thirty four to thirty one in that game.

95
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Smoking Jeremy, b what do you think?

96
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm more along the score that Pensman said. But at

97
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.720
<v Speaker 4>the same time, it's been a while since that Indiana

98
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:29.600
<v Speaker 4>gave up big points to any opponent, So I do

99
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.879
<v Speaker 4>think it's a one score game. But I got Indiana

100
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 4>winning because they play better defense.

101
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go with Indiana too. If you didn't, if

102
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>you didn't all here last night. And I don't normally

103
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>say this too much, but I am officially I was

104
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>born in Indiana. I lived there for only a year

105
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 1>and a half of my life. But so there's a

106
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a hoosier but you know in me,

107
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 1>so I am gonna I'm rooting for Indiana. I'm a

108
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>big ten girl, and I i'd like to see Indiana win.

109
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be like like Jeremy said, I

110
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 1>think it's gonna be twenty four to twenty one. It's

111
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a close game. I think it's gonna be

112
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.759
<v Speaker 1>a good game. But I think Indiana's got a really

113
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.399
<v Speaker 1>good coach and I think, you know, he coached the

114
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>year and I think he's gonna he's gonna help propel him.

115
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.839
<v Speaker 1>With that being said, there are some other games on,

116
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.079
<v Speaker 1>so that's tomorrow night. There's other games. Besides, we're not

117
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna get into each bowl game because there's lots of

118
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>bowl games and there's ones that have already happened. So

119
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.319
<v Speaker 1>but let's go the CFP first Round. So Saturday, the

120
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.519
<v Speaker 1>first game on the slate is SMU versus Penn State.

121
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>This time, I'm gonna go with Pensman first.

122
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't like Penn State. I don't care for him,

123
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.319
<v Speaker 3>but I think they're gonna win. Jeremy's guy is clapping,

124
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.279
<v Speaker 3>but I think Penn State's gonna win. SMU is going

125
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.480
<v Speaker 3>to be put up a fight, but I think Penn

126
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.959
<v Speaker 3>State's just a little bit stronger and James Fredlin's going

127
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.639
<v Speaker 3>to get the first big win off the monkey off

128
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 3>his shoulder. So we'll see what happens.

129
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Okay, smoking, Jeremy, b what do you think.

130
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.000
<v Speaker 4>I think it's going to be a close game. Both

131
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.399
<v Speaker 4>teams do what the other team doesn't like. But the

132
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:25.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna Strake it up to coaching. SMU has a

133
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:29.639
<v Speaker 4>better coach, James Franklin has been mid and lost big games.

134
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 4>Is the higher then you're at Ben State. SMU might

135
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 4>pull it out.

136
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.720
<v Speaker 5>Okay, George, Well, right now, the matchup predictor that ESPN

137
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.519
<v Speaker 5>uses as saying sixty seven percent of the nation is

138
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.960
<v Speaker 5>picking Penn State to win sm you only ad about

139
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:51.399
<v Speaker 5>thirty three percent.

140
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:53.559
<v Speaker 2>But when you look at them, they're both.

141
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:57.360
<v Speaker 5>Teams are very very good teams. Even the passing game.

142
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:01.480
<v Speaker 5>I mean Jennings against al er Uh. Jennings has over

143
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.399
<v Speaker 5>three thousand yards passing. ELA's got almost twenty nine hundred

144
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 5>yards passing. This is totally unusual because you know, all

145
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 5>the teams under paternal basically we're running attacks most of

146
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.960
<v Speaker 5>the time. They have good, good, solid running games Penn State.

147
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.799
<v Speaker 5>But now there is more diversity. I mean, you got

148
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:24.240
<v Speaker 5>guys that are all American candidates. In the rushing end

149
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.440
<v Speaker 5>of the receiving department. Of course Smith of SMU, I mean,

150
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.080
<v Speaker 5>this guy is an animal. They had over twelve hundred

151
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 5>yards rushing and I believe about fourteen touchdowns. That being said,

152
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.039
<v Speaker 5>it is going to be a close game because I

153
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 5>think that what happens is you know, oh, you know,

154
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.919
<v Speaker 5>nobody will picked this SMU to be there, sort of

155
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.679
<v Speaker 5>like what I said about Indiana, and nobody picked them

156
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:53.840
<v Speaker 5>to get this far. So that being said, I am

157
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:58.000
<v Speaker 5>going to give Penn State one chance, and one chance

158
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.720
<v Speaker 5>only to prove us wrong. They have a habit of

159
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 5>losing the big games, as we know, especially at the

160
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 5>Ohio State or Michigan. So Penn State will win this game,

161
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 5>but it's going to be awful close. I'm going to

162
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:15.600
<v Speaker 5>go Penn State twenty eight and SMU twenty four.

163
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:19.480
<v Speaker 1>And I think one of the factors that's going to

164
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.559
<v Speaker 1>play into it that none of you have alluded to

165
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>is the weather. SMU is from Dallas. They're used to

166
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:30.399
<v Speaker 1>it being a lot warmer. It is supposed to be old.

167
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.200
<v Speaker 1>And yes it is the noon game, so that does

168
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:35.879
<v Speaker 1>help it a little bit. But I think I think

169
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Penn State's got the edge besides having being playing on

170
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.279
<v Speaker 1>their familiar rounds, playing in their stadium, and then the weather,

171
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.919
<v Speaker 1>I think the edge goes to Penn State. I think

172
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.159
<v Speaker 1>this will be this might be a little bit more

173
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 1>of a scoring game than I'm not. So I'm going

174
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 1>to say thirty four to thirty thirty four thirty Penn State.

175
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 1>So the next game is the four o'clock game, that

176
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>is Clemson versus Texas, Smoking Jeremy b your thoughts on

177
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 1>that game.

178
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.799
<v Speaker 4>Texas is gonna dog walk them. Clemson has no shot

179
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 4>in the team. Uh huh okay at home and you

180
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:25.879
<v Speaker 4>know the crowd outside the stadium might be louder than

181
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:30.519
<v Speaker 4>the away teams crowd inside the stadium.

182
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, George, your thoughts?

183
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, Again, the predictor has got eighty percent chance

184
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:43.600
<v Speaker 5>for Texas and only twenty percent chance for Clemson.

185
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, Clemson's been up and down, you know, most

186
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:46.799
<v Speaker 2>of the year.

187
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.960
<v Speaker 5>They've had some good they've lost three times, ten and three.

188
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.120
<v Speaker 5>But they still got a good, solid team. But Texas

189
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 5>is loaded. I mean most people had Texas as the

190
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 5>number one team for several weeks during the season.

191
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>As we know.

192
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.159
<v Speaker 5>Oh and you know they had a couple of bumps

193
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.600
<v Speaker 5>in the road there and finished eleven and two overall.

194
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.120
<v Speaker 5>The quarterback comparison, again, you got two guys with pile

195
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:15.320
<v Speaker 5>up the statistics. Clemson guy club Nick has got thirty

196
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:19.679
<v Speaker 5>three touchdowns and eight interceptions five interceptions only and then

197
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:25.919
<v Speaker 5>ours of Texas he's got twenty five touchdowns and nine interceptions. Yeah,

198
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.600
<v Speaker 5>both these guys are good. They got good offensive, skilled

199
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.159
<v Speaker 5>players on both sides of the ball. But I'm still

200
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.559
<v Speaker 5>going with Texas too. I'm going to say Texas is

201
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:39.080
<v Speaker 5>going to win. Let's go with thirty eight to twenty five.

202
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Pensman, your thoughts.

203
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:49.080
<v Speaker 3>I have Texas one in this, and it's like everything's

204
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.960
<v Speaker 3>George said and Jeremy said. I agreed that on that

205
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 3>Clemson's not strong like the other like they had Trevor

206
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.519
<v Speaker 3>Lawrence those games, those teams when Trevor Lawrence was on

207
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 3>that team, they dominated. They haven't been dominated since then.

208
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.399
<v Speaker 3>They've been barely winning these games. Texas is gonna win

209
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.000
<v Speaker 3>thirty eight to twenty one.

210
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I as well think Texas is gonna take Clembs

211
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:22.639
<v Speaker 1>into the house. Clemsing got in just at the last minute.

212
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:27.039
<v Speaker 1>Do they belong in there? That's a whole nother different story.

213
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:31.799
<v Speaker 1>But Texas is gonna beat them, and I think they're

214
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna beat them handily. I think by at least ten

215
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:40.759
<v Speaker 1>to fourteen points at least. Okay, So the last one

216
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:46.679
<v Speaker 1>for Saturday night is probably what I would say should

217
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:51.159
<v Speaker 1>be the best game of that day, I think, and

218
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.879
<v Speaker 1>that's Tennessee playing Ohio State. So, George, your thoughts on

219
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee traveling to Ohio Seven.

220
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:04.080
<v Speaker 5>And a half point favorites, I believe is what I

221
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.320
<v Speaker 5>saw for Ohio State.

222
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Of course, they're still being recuperating from that.

223
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:15.759
<v Speaker 5>Michigan upset victory over Ohio State down in the Horseshoe,

224
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:21.320
<v Speaker 5>as you all know. But Ohio State again, very strong team,

225
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 5>very good, good skilled players, good athletes up and down.

226
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 5>You know, Brian Day is moving forward after that lost

227
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.879
<v Speaker 5>to Michigan as well he should. And the fact of

228
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.000
<v Speaker 5>the matter is is that I don't I know, Tennessee's

229
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:40.120
<v Speaker 5>had a good year also ten and two, but I

230
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:42.799
<v Speaker 5>don't think that they can beat Ohio State on the road.

231
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:47.559
<v Speaker 5>I mean, as much as Michigan loved playing at Ohio State,

232
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 5>it seems like the last couple of visits there, at

233
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:56.519
<v Speaker 5>least this is a very tough environment Tennessee. Yeah, I

234
00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.039
<v Speaker 5>mean you look at their scores though, I mean again,

235
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:02.720
<v Speaker 5>you know, they score let's see here, thirty six points

236
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 5>in the win over Vanderbilt, and then U tip they

237
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:10.039
<v Speaker 5>beat him fifty six to nothing, and then they scored

238
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:15.000
<v Speaker 5>seventeen against Georgia in the loss. When they played Georgia,

239
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 5>that's Tennessee. And of course the offense was just non

240
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.600
<v Speaker 5>existent for Ohio State against U of M oh my god,

241
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:26.559
<v Speaker 5>losing that game thirteen to ten.

242
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I sure did. So sometimes you don't know

243
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.240
<v Speaker 2>what you're gonna get. I guess with Ohio States offense.

244
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 5>But long story short of it, I think it's gonna

245
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.039
<v Speaker 5>be Ohio State. I'm gonna say, let's go with about

246
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:42.000
<v Speaker 5>twenty seven to.

247
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Twenty.

248
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Pensman, what do you think.

249
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:52.879
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be tough game? Tennessee's coming in strong, but

250
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:55.879
<v Speaker 3>I think Ohio State comes in and went their home.

251
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:59.240
<v Speaker 3>They have everything to prove because of the Michigan game,

252
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.399
<v Speaker 3>because of the fight. They want to prove they are

253
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:06.879
<v Speaker 3>the better team. So I think they're gonna win at home.

254
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.039
<v Speaker 3>I think their fans are gonna go crazy because this

255
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:13.159
<v Speaker 3>was the first playoff game at home, so I think

256
00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:15.200
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna go crazy. So I think it's gonna be

257
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:16.200
<v Speaker 3>thirty five to twenty eight.

258
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, smoking me. What do you think.

259
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:27.240
<v Speaker 4>One in four versus Michigan twenty six and four against

260
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:32.639
<v Speaker 4>all other opponents. That's Ryan Day's record, But guess where

261
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:40.240
<v Speaker 4>those four losses all were the college football playoffs. Ryan

262
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:44.360
<v Speaker 4>Day choked in the playoffs too. He's just like James Franklin.

263
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.960
<v Speaker 4>He cannot win the big game. I have this feeling

264
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.639
<v Speaker 4>that we saw how to Tennessee's defense is a lot

265
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:54.000
<v Speaker 4>like Michigan's if you look the way it is. They're

266
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:56.919
<v Speaker 4>very good at stopping the pass and they just stuff

267
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.720
<v Speaker 4>the run with containment flits. I think you could see

268
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:06.799
<v Speaker 4>the upset in round one Tennessee win. I'm gonna say,

269
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.519
<v Speaker 4>like twenty four to seventeen.

270
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Wow, I do I do have to say for

271
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:21.839
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State losing to Michigan like you did when you did,

272
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.839
<v Speaker 1>gave really good film to Tennessee to figure out how

273
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:30.599
<v Speaker 1>to stop you and hold you at Bay. So that's

274
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:35.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna that's gonna help Tennessee. I also think Richard I

275
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>think Day is coaching for his his job, so he's

276
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.759
<v Speaker 1>got a little extra motivation. Whether that transfers to his

277
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:50.160
<v Speaker 1>players and the players on the field. I think Ohio

278
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:54.359
<v Speaker 1>State narrowly wins this one by two.

279
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:00.240
<v Speaker 4>I want to you have not talked about one thing

280
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:04.640
<v Speaker 4>we were talking about. You've had stupid comments about other

281
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.680
<v Speaker 4>crafts that we're not talking about. We're talking about sports.

282
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.279
<v Speaker 4>We are not addressing the bubble bath situation. You want

283
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.359
<v Speaker 4>to address the bubble baths situation, go do it on

284
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:16.079
<v Speaker 4>face time. Uh. Meghan Nausty twelve, thank you.

285
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Happy holidays to you, Meghan, thank you, thank you, Hi Megan,

286
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.599
<v Speaker 1>And again, Joshua, we will address you if you are

287
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.640
<v Speaker 1>talking intelligently about what we are talking about on the show.

288
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:33.640
<v Speaker 1>If you want to have that kind of a conversation,

289
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:40.480
<v Speaker 1>you can have it elsewhere. So on too. Okay, So

290
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:42.440
<v Speaker 1>what do we think going forward?

291
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:42.759
<v Speaker 5>Then?

292
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>With the picks that we have, who do you think

293
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:53.559
<v Speaker 1>is most likely to win the next round? Guys?

294
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, because I picked that on you don't they would?

295
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:01.759
<v Speaker 4>They would fase the Boise State, right, mm hmm, Soise

296
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:08.119
<v Speaker 4>States winning that, okay? And then I did and I

297
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 4>picked s m U over Penn State. So the other

298
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:19.440
<v Speaker 4>one would have been Indiana over not Tree Shame. And

299
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.559
<v Speaker 4>I'll always call him not for shame as long as

300
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:25.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm alive, because they've been no Tree shame ever since

301
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.960
<v Speaker 4>the Catholic versus Convicts era?

302
00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Are you talking about the movie.

303
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Convicts?

304
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.799
<v Speaker 4>The University of Miami versus Notre Dame era of football

305
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.319
<v Speaker 4>when they were going back and forth and everybody would

306
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:47.440
<v Speaker 4>win every other year. But uh so that would put

307
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.480
<v Speaker 4>them up against who would be their opponent, Because I'm

308
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.119
<v Speaker 4>not looking at the bread Georgia. Georgia. Georgia is gonna.

309
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:57.960
<v Speaker 4>Georgia will dog walk whoever comes out of there. That's

310
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.440
<v Speaker 4>what I see. I don't care which which one wins,

311
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.839
<v Speaker 4>whether it's my team more than Georgia's team. Both teams

312
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:08.200
<v Speaker 4>don't have a shot against Georgia. Oregon's dog walking whoever

313
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:13.319
<v Speaker 4>they have to play. And the only one right and

314
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:16.759
<v Speaker 4>then the only one that I see that will have

315
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:21.279
<v Speaker 4>a hard time with anybody is Texas coming out and

316
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:24.079
<v Speaker 4>going up against Arizona State. I don't see Arizona State

317
00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:26.400
<v Speaker 4>beating Texas.

318
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Wow, Wow, you're going out limb that played Jeremy.

319
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:38.079
<v Speaker 4>I just I think Texas is the better team. But

320
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:41.000
<v Speaker 4>I can care less about the rankings. Arizona States in

321
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:42.519
<v Speaker 4>a week conference.

322
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:48.200
<v Speaker 3>They're well, they're rested, though, rest.

323
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:51.559
<v Speaker 4>Or rust haven't. Once you get rolling, you're rolling.

324
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:54.599
<v Speaker 3>That's an awesome pick. I like it.

325
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Okay, George, what do you think?

326
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:02.480
<v Speaker 5>Well, of course I disagree with him with the regards

327
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.519
<v Speaker 5>to Notre Dame, but I do anticipate Georgia would beat

328
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:10.440
<v Speaker 5>Notre Dame in the second round. I've got Boise State

329
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:14.880
<v Speaker 5>over Penn State in round two. I've got number one

330
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:19.920
<v Speaker 5>Oregon beating Ohio State at the Rose Ball on New

331
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:20.519
<v Speaker 5>Year's Day.

332
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:22.160
<v Speaker 2>That's going to be a great game.

333
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.000
<v Speaker 5>And that's by the way, the Rose Bull is obviously

334
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:28.519
<v Speaker 5>very happy that it worked out that way. Which is

335
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:33.559
<v Speaker 5>the old traditional Pac twelve against Big ten. And then

336
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.559
<v Speaker 5>the other one that Jeremy said, I agree with him.

337
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:39.079
<v Speaker 5>I don't see Arizona State coming out of that game

338
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.920
<v Speaker 5>with Texas. I'm going to say Texas is going to

339
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:44.519
<v Speaker 5>win that. And that's the Peach Bowl down in Atlanta.

340
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:47.680
<v Speaker 5>That's another one that's New Year's Day. So for as

341
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:51.200
<v Speaker 5>far as the next round goes, I'm sticking with all

342
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:54.559
<v Speaker 5>the favorites except Arkansas's is a four seed and they're

343
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:57.400
<v Speaker 5>going to lose to Texas a five seed.

344
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:00.599
<v Speaker 1>Bensman, what do you think.

345
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:03.279
<v Speaker 3>I need help with the second round because I didn't

346
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.319
<v Speaker 3>really look at the bracket for the second round. I

347
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:07.960
<v Speaker 3>just know that Arizona.

348
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:13.640
<v Speaker 4>State, Arizona State will play the winner of the Texas game.

349
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:17.359
<v Speaker 3>And I got Arizona State over Texas.

350
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:19.319
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

351
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.960
<v Speaker 3>No, no offense, Jeremy, no offense, just the way they

352
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.079
<v Speaker 3>came in. Just no. I know, I'm just saying no

353
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:28.759
<v Speaker 3>offense to Jeremy, but the way Arizona State has been

354
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:31.359
<v Speaker 3>playing the last couple of weeks prior to the playoffs

355
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:38.920
<v Speaker 3>might be a surprise. Might be surprised there, Jeremy. I

356
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:43.079
<v Speaker 3>got Oregon. I got Oregon winning that game. That Gabriel

357
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:46.240
<v Speaker 3>is gonna he's he's probably mad about not winning the Heisman,

358
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:48.480
<v Speaker 3>so he's probably gonna show.

359
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Hunter.

360
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:51.559
<v Speaker 1>No.

361
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Travis Hunter definitely didn't deserve it.

362
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:55.599
<v Speaker 4>It should have been.

363
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:01.680
<v Speaker 3>There you go, and I got Boise State wedding.

364
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:08.279
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I'm carry twenty nine touchdowns on three hundred and

365
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:13.599
<v Speaker 4>seventy eight carries with two four hundred and sixty nine

366
00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:17.599
<v Speaker 4>yards in, averaging seven point three yards per carry. That

367
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:20.440
<v Speaker 4>guy should have been the Heidsman. Travit Hunter got it

368
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:23.519
<v Speaker 4>because I think if he didn't.

369
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:32.079
<v Speaker 1>Yep, that's true, that's true. That's true. Okay, guys, should

370
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:34.200
<v Speaker 1>we go to talk little talk a little NFL?

371
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:35.519
<v Speaker 6>Sure?

372
00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:37.079
<v Speaker 3>Why not?

373
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:41.119
<v Speaker 1>Why not? One of the things I want to talk

374
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:47.359
<v Speaker 1>about is how banged up the NFC North division is

375
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay Packers have five players on IR, the Vikings

376
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:58.200
<v Speaker 1>have eight players on IR, the Bears have nine players

377
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:02.000
<v Speaker 1>on IR. And then there there's Detroit that happened to

378
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:07.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty two players on IR, and yet there's still twelve

379
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:07.759
<v Speaker 1>and two.

380
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.519
<v Speaker 4>Uh, you might got to reduce that to twenty because

381
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:12.839
<v Speaker 4>two came off the IR in the last twenty four

382
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:16.880
<v Speaker 4>hours that hit the Melo bomb move and Jalen Reeves

383
00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:21.599
<v Speaker 4>Maven and David Montgomery was never put on it. So

384
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:26.200
<v Speaker 4>the number twenty two is incorrect, okay, because they were

385
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.359
<v Speaker 4>anticipating that David Montgomery would get put on it. So

386
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.079
<v Speaker 4>that takes well down to nineteen mm hmm.

387
00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:38.599
<v Speaker 1>That's still quite a quite a few the whole division.

388
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:41.119
<v Speaker 4>Do you want to know what's twenty because we've been

389
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:44.359
<v Speaker 4>playing with seventeen on IR all year and winning, and

390
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:48.200
<v Speaker 4>everybody's crying about losing four players in a game when

391
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:52.000
<v Speaker 4>we lost. While we were winning, nobody was complaining about

392
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.559
<v Speaker 4>the injury, right, and so the legion of whom is

393
00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:57.279
<v Speaker 4>ready to rock?

394
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Hey, that that's the whole that's the whole premise. Next man up,

395
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.160
<v Speaker 1>that's what you have to be ready for that next

396
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:08.440
<v Speaker 1>man up. And you got a winning and be ready

397
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:14.359
<v Speaker 1>for that. You can't keep using injuries as an excuse

398
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:17.119
<v Speaker 1>because everybody's got injuries, every team.

399
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:21.640
<v Speaker 4>And it seems like I said something about this because

400
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:24.480
<v Speaker 4>somebody asked me, what about injuries, because Detroit has had

401
00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:27.559
<v Speaker 4>been plagued with injuries the entire time. Dan Campbell's built here,

402
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 4>been here, and I said, we're built different than every

403
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.960
<v Speaker 4>year he's been here. And I think I said something

404
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:35.880
<v Speaker 4>to the fact that this is the deepest roster that

405
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:39.119
<v Speaker 4>the Lions. I've had salent. Why in my history as

406
00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 4>a band, not only as a writer or a broadcaster.

407
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.799
<v Speaker 4>That's I'm fifty four. It started when I was five.

408
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:51.039
<v Speaker 4>That's forty nine years. People, I've never seen this much

409
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:54.319
<v Speaker 4>death of talent. And I said, so this next man

410
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:56.759
<v Speaker 4>up thing may get put to the test. And it

411
00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:00.279
<v Speaker 4>started early. It was actually started in week three. First

412
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.240
<v Speaker 4>it was Derek Barnes, and then four plays later it

413
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.279
<v Speaker 4>was Marcus Davenport. Then the next game we had another injury.

414
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:10.319
<v Speaker 4>And then we had another injury in week by week

415
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:12.240
<v Speaker 4>by and not week by week six, And that was

416
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:14.920
<v Speaker 4>a major one. A guy that was like leading for

417
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:17.200
<v Speaker 4>defensive Player of the year, and Aiden Hudson when he

418
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:21.960
<v Speaker 4>broke his leg. And then everybody remember all week before

419
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:25.279
<v Speaker 4>the game, what's Detroit gonna do with now Hutchinson. They

420
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:27.119
<v Speaker 4>don't have a pass rush, they won't be able to

421
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:33.920
<v Speaker 4>win games. They won eleven straight without him.

422
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:37.039
<v Speaker 3>Can I say one thing first before you keep going.

423
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:40.720
<v Speaker 3>I thought you guys were done after Hutchison went out.

424
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:43.559
<v Speaker 3>I thought you guys were just I was like, well,

425
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:46.519
<v Speaker 3>there you go, because he was he was lead in

426
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 3>sacks to prior to when he got injured. As soon

427
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:52.480
<v Speaker 3>as he got hurt, I was like, oh. I was like, well,

428
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.960
<v Speaker 3>lines are done. They kept the nex spand up and

429
00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:01.000
<v Speaker 3>started performing better. I was like, all right, maybe not yeah,

430
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:01.559
<v Speaker 3>And you.

431
00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:04.279
<v Speaker 4>Know, we had a good game the next week versus Minnesota,

432
00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:07.559
<v Speaker 4>and then what was it? The Titans came the downtown

433
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:10.279
<v Speaker 4>and offensively we had one of the worst games of

434
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:14.400
<v Speaker 4>the year. That ye're we you're offensively worst outfit foot

435
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:17.240
<v Speaker 4>of the year. But what did we have? We had

436
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:20.160
<v Speaker 4>the best special teams output of any team in twenty

437
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:22.920
<v Speaker 4>years since Devin Hester was running the ball.

438
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:26.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not well.

439
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:30.920
<v Speaker 5>The only thing I can say is that you know,

440
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:35.119
<v Speaker 5>Brad Holmes and his staff, scouting staff and pro Pro

441
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:38.559
<v Speaker 5>Development staff whatever they're called, has done a hell of

442
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.599
<v Speaker 5>a job in looking over the rosters and the extra

443
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:45.880
<v Speaker 5>players that are available to pick up, because I've never

444
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.319
<v Speaker 5>seen this happen before, where you pick up guys that

445
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:53.599
<v Speaker 5>actually do come in and they contribute immediately, whether it's

446
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:56.640
<v Speaker 5>one week practice, whether it's five days practice, whether it's

447
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.480
<v Speaker 5>four days whatever. These guys have stepped in and answered

448
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:01.799
<v Speaker 5>the call, answered the bill.

449
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:02.559
<v Speaker 2>As they say.

450
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:05.319
<v Speaker 5>You could talk all you want about all these injuries,

451
00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:07.319
<v Speaker 5>but if Detroit did not have that kind of depth,

452
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:10.160
<v Speaker 5>there's no way they'd be twelve and two right now.

453
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:10.720
<v Speaker 2>They have the.

454
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:15.920
<v Speaker 5>Deepest roster in the division and probably the conference. So

455
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:20.720
<v Speaker 5>back to our friend Candy's point, I don't think it's

456
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:24.039
<v Speaker 5>I don't think it's any kind of trend the NFC North.

457
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:28.519
<v Speaker 5>I mean, two teams play outside, but two don't. I

458
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:30.960
<v Speaker 5>don't think it has anything to do with just everybody

459
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.839
<v Speaker 5>in this conference, in this division. I just think that

460
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.480
<v Speaker 5>Detroit has a better way and a better system set

461
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:42.759
<v Speaker 5>up to acquire more backup, more talent, perhaps guys that

462
00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:45.559
<v Speaker 5>could be disgrundled where.

463
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:46.400
<v Speaker 4>They're at right now.

464
00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Who knows why all of them are available. We don't

465
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:50.559
<v Speaker 2>know all the reasons why.

466
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:54.480
<v Speaker 5>What we do know is that Detroit has been shrewd,

467
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:58.240
<v Speaker 5>very shrewd in picking up the guys that they think

468
00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:01.519
<v Speaker 5>can fit in, they think can help. And Jeremy's right,

469
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:04.279
<v Speaker 5>there's been a problem all year with these injuries, and

470
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:08.799
<v Speaker 5>the Lions of Man overcome it. So that's my two cents.

471
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:10.559
<v Speaker 5>I'm taking a little bit of what all you guys

472
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:14.599
<v Speaker 5>have said, because obviously they are still the front runner,

473
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:16.119
<v Speaker 5>no question about it, the Lions.

474
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:20.400
<v Speaker 1>My two cents is when you see a team that

475
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:25.599
<v Speaker 1>has that many injuries and yet they still have the

476
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:29.519
<v Speaker 1>success that they're having, it's a testament to who's bringing

477
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:34.759
<v Speaker 1>who in, but who's coaching those players and coaching them

478
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:39.400
<v Speaker 1>up to fit into your system and to match with

479
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:42.759
<v Speaker 1>everybody else, because obviously there's a good there's got to

480
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:45.400
<v Speaker 1>be a buy in because you've got to play angel

481
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:48.640
<v Speaker 1>as a team, whether you're a defensive unit, whether you're offense.

482
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:53.160
<v Speaker 1>And kudos to your coaches because that's a testament to

483
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.480
<v Speaker 1>having really good coaches that are helping those players get

484
00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:58.920
<v Speaker 1>up to speed and get in there and to be

485
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:02.920
<v Speaker 1>able to be effective as soon as possible.

486
00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:07.000
<v Speaker 4>I want to go back to something that ag said

487
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:09.559
<v Speaker 4>in that last presser said, he said, he goes when

488
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:12.440
<v Speaker 4>it comes to bringing these new guys in, instead of

489
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:18.000
<v Speaker 4>changing who they are, I work my scheme around the

490
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:20.279
<v Speaker 4>type of player they are so that they don't have

491
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:24.400
<v Speaker 4>to change what they've done good their entire career. For

492
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:27.079
<v Speaker 4>the veteran guys and for the younger guys, they just

493
00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:30.240
<v Speaker 4>tell them, hey, I see you play this position good.

494
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:36.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna put you there, and so your job doesn't change.

495
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.680
<v Speaker 4>Then if your job doesn't change, and you've been doing

496
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:42.359
<v Speaker 4>it everywhere else at a decent level, or even even

497
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:45.200
<v Speaker 4>at a practice squad level, hey we're giving you a shot.

498
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:48.079
<v Speaker 4>You're going to be in the game today. Prove us something.

499
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:50.240
<v Speaker 4>You'll get to stay here. Otherwise you'll be back on

500
00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:54.839
<v Speaker 4>the waiver wire tomorrow. I mean, because we've done it,

501
00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:57.680
<v Speaker 4>and that's why we've kept fifty two people on the

502
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:00.920
<v Speaker 4>active roster. They address this at the beginning of the season.

503
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:04.359
<v Speaker 4>They did it on purpose so that they can sign

504
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:07.880
<v Speaker 4>a practice squad player to the active roster and that

505
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:12.640
<v Speaker 4>then have them not be dressed. It doesn't count towards

506
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:15.759
<v Speaker 4>the salary cap because it's below the top fifty one.

507
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:21.000
<v Speaker 4>Keep them on practicing with the first team the next week,

508
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:23.039
<v Speaker 4>give them a chance to play, then let them play

509
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:25.359
<v Speaker 4>the next week, and then they wave them to bring

510
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:27.759
<v Speaker 4>them back to start the clock all over again. Then

511
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:30.039
<v Speaker 4>they can do the whole dressed to undressed being four

512
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.720
<v Speaker 4>more time. We've done it all years this way. Everybody's like,

513
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:35.799
<v Speaker 4>when are they gonna add somebody to make it fifty

514
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:38.640
<v Speaker 4>three newsplatch? They're gone.

515
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:46.960
<v Speaker 1>With that being said, what games are we looking forward

516
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:53.160
<v Speaker 1>to this weekend in the NFL? And we're gonna start

517
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>with Pensman.

518
00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:59.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking forward to the Steelers Ravens game because the

519
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:04.319
<v Speaker 3>Braves have been talking, They've been they I saw an

520
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:07.960
<v Speaker 3>article today that Lamar Jackson is getting frustrated losing to

521
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:13.240
<v Speaker 3>Pittsburgh because the Pittsburgh's got his number, so they're at home.

522
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:17.759
<v Speaker 3>So Lamar Jackson is getting frustrated, and I don't care.

523
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:20.440
<v Speaker 3>I love when he's frustrated because I'm a Steelers fan.

524
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:24.039
<v Speaker 3>So that's why I'm looking forward to And I'm looking

525
00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:26.799
<v Speaker 3>forward to seeing some Bowl games to see what happens,

526
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.440
<v Speaker 3>and if we get upset with the teams that we picked,

527
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:33.440
<v Speaker 3>then that's fine. But I just want to see good

528
00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:36.680
<v Speaker 3>games and see good competitive football and the bowl games,

529
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.200
<v Speaker 3>but that's the main game I'm looking for. And after

530
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:42.200
<v Speaker 3>everybody's got something to say about the football games, I

531
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:44.279
<v Speaker 3>got one more topic I want to talk about.

532
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:50.920
<v Speaker 1>But go ahead, though, Okay, mister George, what NFL game

533
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:51.920
<v Speaker 1>are you looking forward to?

534
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:52.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

535
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:56.279
<v Speaker 5>All of them, of course, But one that I got

536
00:32:56.319 --> 00:33:00.759
<v Speaker 5>my eye on is the Minnesota at Seattle's four o'clock

537
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:05.240
<v Speaker 5>game on Fox, and we'll see if the Vikings can

538
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:12.039
<v Speaker 5>can continue this little magical season they're putting together. You know,

539
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.960
<v Speaker 5>Geno Smith, I'm not a big fan of his, but

540
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:18.559
<v Speaker 5>you can't argue with some of his stats. But the

541
00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:21.759
<v Speaker 5>one that really is a bad one is his touchdown

542
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:27.759
<v Speaker 5>the interception ratio fourteen and thirteen. That's that's horrible. So

543
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:32.440
<v Speaker 5>I don't think that Minnesota is going to have.

544
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps this tough a time.

545
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 5>But that being said, anytime you go on the road,

546
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:41.119
<v Speaker 5>of course, it's a different environment. So right now, the

547
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:44.759
<v Speaker 5>spread I think is Minnesota by three. But I'm looking

548
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:48.559
<v Speaker 5>forward to that one, and I know Lions fans are too,

549
00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:51.400
<v Speaker 5>because they want to see Minnesota tripped up and lose

550
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:52.480
<v Speaker 5>that game in Seattle.

551
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:54.039
<v Speaker 2>It would be won.

552
00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:59.000
<v Speaker 4>That's it.

553
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy, what are you?

554
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:03.960
<v Speaker 4>I would have said New Orleans versus Green Bay if

555
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:05.680
<v Speaker 4>New Orleans stayed as good as they were at the

556
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:08.239
<v Speaker 4>beginning of the season, But since they fell up, I

557
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:12.280
<v Speaker 4>think green Bay is smoking them. Here's the crazy thing

558
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:16.159
<v Speaker 4>about this is Seattle's been very inconsistent, whether at home

559
00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:19.400
<v Speaker 4>round the road. But it's been like one bad game,

560
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:24.239
<v Speaker 4>then they have a great game. They just had their

561
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:26.400
<v Speaker 4>bad game bases just facing green Bay.

562
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:28.679
<v Speaker 3>This kid could be.

563
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:30.679
<v Speaker 2>Right.

564
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:33.960
<v Speaker 4>They alternate when they turn on and off, and in

565
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:37.119
<v Speaker 4>those games where they're good, Gino doesn't turn the ball over.

566
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:40.280
<v Speaker 4>They run for a lot on the yard. Packers have

567
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:44.079
<v Speaker 4>struggled against decent run games all year because of the

568
00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:46.440
<v Speaker 4>new defense and the way they're they're still learning how

569
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:48.840
<v Speaker 4>to work together in jail, and they've had a couple

570
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:51.159
<v Speaker 4>of injuries that here and there. Thank god they got

571
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:55.679
<v Speaker 4>Cooper back last week because they you saw that he

572
00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:58.079
<v Speaker 4>was the big difference in that Seattle game because if

573
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.679
<v Speaker 4>he wasn't there, I think Zach Charbine it ran all

574
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:04.000
<v Speaker 4>over the middle of that lineup like Monty and Gibbs did.

575
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:08.880
<v Speaker 4>So Minnesota is dealing with some injuries. I just read

576
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:14.039
<v Speaker 4>they got nine people not practicing today on top of

577
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:18.119
<v Speaker 4>their IR. That's eighteen players people. You can't have that

578
00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:21.599
<v Speaker 4>many on IR and that many not practicing. That's a

579
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:29.000
<v Speaker 4>bad combination because we're talking about a second right, So

580
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:32.519
<v Speaker 4>Minnesota is going he goes, well, I hope this improves.

581
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:34.400
<v Speaker 4>But you know, you have some players that are long

582
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:36.559
<v Speaker 4>in the tooth that are just coming back to practice.

583
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:39.280
<v Speaker 4>I mean, luckily for them, Steven Gilbot came back to

584
00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:42.840
<v Speaker 4>God forbid, you don't trug who's opposite Byron Murphy right

585
00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:47.480
<v Speaker 4>now to cover anybody, and that Stephen Gilmore's in. But

586
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:50.239
<v Speaker 4>it was a couple of their linebackers. There was a

587
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:52.480
<v Speaker 4>linemen in there, there was a running the one of

588
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:55.159
<v Speaker 4>the backup running backs. There was all sorts of people

589
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:58.280
<v Speaker 4>on that list. So they're not as healthy as their

590
00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:00.599
<v Speaker 4>IR report looks.

591
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:05.159
<v Speaker 1>The one thing I will say about Seattle and the

592
00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Packer game is I was surprised because I cannot remember

593
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the last time I watched a game where we went

594
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:20.880
<v Speaker 1>went to Seattle, and normally the fans are so loud

595
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:24.320
<v Speaker 1>in Seattle, it's always the Twelfth Man is so loud.

596
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:27.800
<v Speaker 1>But yet you could hear the Packer chants and how

597
00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:33.559
<v Speaker 1>many Packer fans there were, And I read that Aaron

598
00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers was on the pack McAfee show and he even

599
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:42.400
<v Speaker 1>said he's never heard as many Packer fans at a

600
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Seattle game. He said that was crazy. And we talked

601
00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:50.000
<v Speaker 1>on Inside the Pigskin on our network a couple of

602
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:55.519
<v Speaker 1>days ago, and we were talking to Football Talk Bo

603
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:59.239
<v Speaker 1>because he's from Seattle, and what he is saying is

604
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:03.519
<v Speaker 1>that he's seen a turn with some of the teams

605
00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:08.599
<v Speaker 1>that come in because Seattle's ticket prices are so high,

606
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:12.119
<v Speaker 1>and their season ticket prices are so high that they're

607
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:16.280
<v Speaker 1>selling some of their season ticket holders are selling their

608
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:19.840
<v Speaker 1>seat their seats, and a lot of times they go

609
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:23.239
<v Speaker 1>to visitors instead of the home crowd, and so you're

610
00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:26.880
<v Speaker 1>seeing kind of a turn where you're seeing a lot

611
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:32.239
<v Speaker 1>more of the twelfth Man. Isn't necessarily the twelfth Man

612
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:36.679
<v Speaker 1>for Seattle. It's not as loud, so it'll be interesting.

613
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.039
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, I've never seen I've never heard Packer

614
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:45.440
<v Speaker 1>fans as loud in Seattle as they were this past weekend.

615
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:48.360
<v Speaker 4>See exactly. It was two thousand and nine, was the

616
00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:53.559
<v Speaker 4>last time the Packers won in Seattle. M oh not

617
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:56.000
<v Speaker 4>as bad as Pittsburgh winning in Philly. It's been since

618
00:37:56.079 --> 00:37:58.239
<v Speaker 4>nineteen sixty five and it's not happening this.

619
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:01.360
<v Speaker 3>Year either, Candy, I'm out of here.

620
00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:09.719
<v Speaker 2>To try And I.

621
00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Know I don't want to talk about that game. That game, Yeah,

622
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:19.880
<v Speaker 3>I know that game was so rough.

623
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:23.079
<v Speaker 5>But you talk about fans, Candy, and we all know

624
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:26.840
<v Speaker 5>the Lion's successful story where they're going in there and

625
00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:30.239
<v Speaker 5>buying and buying and buying. And these fans in these

626
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:33.960
<v Speaker 5>other cities obviously, oh sure, sure here all makes a

627
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:36.320
<v Speaker 5>few extra bucks. You know, they're selling them a lot

628
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:37.760
<v Speaker 5>of ticket holders.

629
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:41.400
<v Speaker 4>But at the same time, that price in the aftermarket

630
00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:46.239
<v Speaker 4>ticket fails because these tickets have been sold out for months. People. Yeah,

631
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:51.559
<v Speaker 4>the market bears what the prices are. If your team

632
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:54.159
<v Speaker 4>is good, you pay more. If your team is bad,

633
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:57.519
<v Speaker 4>you pay less. And that's why you see a lot

634
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:00.599
<v Speaker 4>of the the fans going on the road that can't

635
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:02.880
<v Speaker 4>afford the home games. Right now, in Detroit, and I'm

636
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:05.400
<v Speaker 4>talking about the regular seasons, not the season ticket holders,

637
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:07.360
<v Speaker 4>we were sold out of season ticket holders. I think

638
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.000
<v Speaker 4>that the second fastest. I think the only team that

639
00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:12.960
<v Speaker 4>hold out their season tickets faster or not was the

640
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:22.480
<v Speaker 4>Chiefland don't know ye. A buddy of mine said, I

641
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:24.239
<v Speaker 4>couldn't afford to go to a home game, but I

642
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:26.840
<v Speaker 4>was able to afford to go to any Indianapolis polt.

643
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:30.079
<v Speaker 4>Another buddy of mine says, I couldn't afford to go

644
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:32.599
<v Speaker 4>to a home game, but it was cheaper for me

645
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:36.400
<v Speaker 4>for for a Lower Bowl ticket, to get a ticket

646
00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:40.400
<v Speaker 4>to go to San Francisco this year than it was

647
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:45.039
<v Speaker 4>to get a Lower Bowl ticket in Detroit. Did you

648
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:50.079
<v Speaker 4>ever think you'd hear these statements for a week seventeen games?

649
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:54.800
<v Speaker 2>No, but he is.

650
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:58.480
<v Speaker 6>He added up the hotels and the and the He

651
00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:02.719
<v Speaker 6>just said his plane ticket and seat ticket is cheaper

652
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:05.760
<v Speaker 6>than the cheapest lower Lower Bowl ticket in Detroit.

653
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:06.239
<v Speaker 4>Right now.

654
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's crazy stuff. Wow.

655
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:16.000
<v Speaker 4>And that's also depending on who you're facing, Like if

656
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:18.679
<v Speaker 4>the Colts would have been come into Detroit, those tickets

657
00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:20.679
<v Speaker 4>would have been a lot less than they normally are.

658
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:23.599
<v Speaker 4>If you're playing a bad team, the tickets are left.

659
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:28.320
<v Speaker 4>The cheapest ticket this weekend in Chicago is one hundred bucks.

660
00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:32.280
<v Speaker 4>How much the cheapest nosebleed is for face value in

661
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:34.920
<v Speaker 4>Detroit this year two and fifty.

662
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there'll be a lot of fans.

663
00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:46.280
<v Speaker 3>And a reigning defending champions the NSC. That's what makes

664
00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:47.599
<v Speaker 3>it more surprising.

665
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:49.559
<v Speaker 5>That.

666
00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So the two games that I think I'm most

667
00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:59.760
<v Speaker 1>interested in, what's gonna be tonight's game, obviously if you

668
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:02.880
<v Speaker 1>have been watching though, Denver is up twenty one to thirteen.

669
00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:05.960
<v Speaker 1>And then the other game that intrigues me is the

670
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:10.559
<v Speaker 1>Eagles Commanders game. That game interests me.

671
00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:15.639
<v Speaker 4>That interests everybody in the NFC, because this is the

672
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:17.719
<v Speaker 4>last test for Philly. Really, if you look at the

673
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:21.039
<v Speaker 4>records of the opponents, this is the team that's in

674
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:23.920
<v Speaker 4>second place. They have the best shot to knock Billy

675
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:26.800
<v Speaker 4>off their little high horse rate now saying that they're

676
00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:31.199
<v Speaker 4>better than everybody else. But the bad part is, out

677
00:41:31.239 --> 00:41:33.960
<v Speaker 4>of all the top four teams in the NFC, they've

678
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:37.400
<v Speaker 4>had the weakest second place schedule of any team in

679
00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:41.599
<v Speaker 4>the NFL. The record of opponents against is eighty five

680
00:41:41.679 --> 00:41:42.679
<v Speaker 4>and one thirteen.

681
00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Hear that Philly. Hear that Philly not.

682
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:53.280
<v Speaker 4>Including tonight, So that's gonna change a little bit because

683
00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:54.960
<v Speaker 4>they finally facing a team we do wining.

684
00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:00.800
<v Speaker 1>True this it's true, I mean.

685
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:03.480
<v Speaker 4>The way they've only played four teams with the winning

686
00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:06.840
<v Speaker 4>record all season and they're two and two in those games.

687
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's face it, it's going to be a barn burner.

688
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:13.360
<v Speaker 1>The Jags are visiting the Raiders.

689
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:20.320
<v Speaker 4>Pilot Bowl edition fifteen on the year or sixteen on

690
00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:20.800
<v Speaker 4>the ear.

691
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:24.159
<v Speaker 1>And let's face let's face it.

692
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:27.039
<v Speaker 3>So what what can't what candies try to tell you

693
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:29.719
<v Speaker 3>is get some turkey and fall asleep during that game.

694
00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:34.599
<v Speaker 1>And let's face it, when you're playing it. When the

695
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:39.119
<v Speaker 1>NFC North is playing an NFC North divisional game, it

696
00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:42.719
<v Speaker 1>really does not matter what the record is because we

697
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:46.159
<v Speaker 1>all play each other very tough. So the Lions go

698
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:48.039
<v Speaker 1>to the Bears and.

699
00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:53.559
<v Speaker 4>Well, did you watch that game last Monday? The Bears quit.

700
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Let's face it, the Bears are quit. They got the

701
00:42:56.440 --> 00:42:59.920
<v Speaker 4>interim interim head coach, the first interim offensive coordinator may

702
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:02.639
<v Speaker 4>to be the intermed coach in the career. And it

703
00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:04.840
<v Speaker 4>just goes to show you he belongs up in the booth,

704
00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:07.480
<v Speaker 4>call in the plaze, not on the sideline, because it

705
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:10.119
<v Speaker 4>looks like he has no clue what's going on. And offense,

706
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:13.639
<v Speaker 4>they put up twelve what was it thirteen points or

707
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:15.880
<v Speaker 4>was it twelve? No, it's twelve because they went for

708
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:17.119
<v Speaker 4>the two and didn't get it right.

709
00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:22.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, Yeah.

710
00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:27.320
<v Speaker 4>So if Detroit doesn't win this game by double digits,

711
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:30.119
<v Speaker 4>then I'm gonna say the injuries are a problem on defense.

712
00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:35.960
<v Speaker 5>Bears have lost eight in a row now, Yeah, And

713
00:43:36.119 --> 00:43:37.559
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna make a bold prediction.

714
00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:42.360
<v Speaker 4>This is the game where the interceptionless streak of Caleb

715
00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:45.880
<v Speaker 4>Williams tens if he had to melofan Will playing Brian

716
00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:50.119
<v Speaker 4>Branch is getting good. It's ready to go. Kirby Joseph

717
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:52.840
<v Speaker 4>Terry On Arnold has been so close to getting his

718
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:55.960
<v Speaker 4>first pick. But I think it's gonna be either if

719
00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:58.119
<v Speaker 4>he had to melofan Will with Terry on Arnold that

720
00:43:58.199 --> 00:43:59.159
<v Speaker 4>gets the interception.

721
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, sounds good to me.

722
00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Any other NFL topics, because I know Penzman wanted to

723
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:08.320
<v Speaker 1>bring up a topic.

724
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:13.199
<v Speaker 3>I have one more. If you watch my channel, I

725
00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:17.320
<v Speaker 3>like to make fun of the Dallas Cowboys. So I'm

726
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:21.880
<v Speaker 3>just I'm just saying, if Dallas Cowboys barely want in

727
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:26.199
<v Speaker 3>Carolina because Carolina is Carolina, can they rebound against the

728
00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's the real question. That's one answer.

729
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:39.159
<v Speaker 3>If they win, they'll move to seven and eight, then

730
00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:40.800
<v Speaker 3>the Cowboys will be yeap.

731
00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:46.840
<v Speaker 4>But more I know because here they are with two weeks.

732
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:48.719
<v Speaker 4>We gotta win out a week and make the playoffs.

733
00:44:48.719 --> 00:44:52.159
<v Speaker 3>And yep, that's why I make affordable.

734
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, I'm gonna take a quick station break before

735

770
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:04.679
<v Speaker 1>one of my original ideas was I created what's called

771
00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:09.159
<v Speaker 1>my Town, So my town segment what is happening in

772
00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:12.760
<v Speaker 1>your town? And George, I didn't prep you tonight, so

773
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna let you go first because I know you

774
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and Jeremy are kind of from the same town. See,

775
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:20.039
<v Speaker 1>you never know if you're gonna get the same topic,

776
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:21.800
<v Speaker 1>So let's start with you. George.

777
00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:25.840
<v Speaker 5>Well, I know Jeremy's not going to talk about this one,

778
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:29.920
<v Speaker 5>so I figured i'd be safe with this one. Ky

779
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:34.840
<v Speaker 5>Cunningham Ki Cunningham is making his case to be an

780
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:35.880
<v Speaker 5>NBA All Star.

781
00:47:36.679 --> 00:47:38.920
<v Speaker 2>The Pistons have won more.

782
00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:41.480
<v Speaker 5>Games than I can't tell you how long it took

783
00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:45.079
<v Speaker 5>them to win eleven or twelve games last season. But

784
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:49.760
<v Speaker 5>Kate has been very impressive. He's been healthy, he's dishing

785
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:54.239
<v Speaker 5>the ball off more, he's running the offense I think

786
00:47:54.639 --> 00:48:00.920
<v Speaker 5>in a nice, easier type of way. And he's listening

787
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:04.079
<v Speaker 5>to his new coaching staff, which is very important as

788
00:48:04.119 --> 00:48:08.920
<v Speaker 5>we know, as the Pistons cleaned house after last year's debacle.

789
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:12.480
<v Speaker 5>But Kate Cunningham is on his way, on his way

790
00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:16.480
<v Speaker 5>to the NBA All Star Game, I believe, and also

791
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:20.960
<v Speaker 5>he deserves definitely a shot at the Olympics the next

792
00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:24.719
<v Speaker 5>time that comes around for the NBA players or the

793
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:28.159
<v Speaker 5>World Championships, as you know, those are held too with

794
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:32.199
<v Speaker 5>basketball in the off years that there's no Olympics. So

795
00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:35.519
<v Speaker 5>pats off to kid. The fans are starting to come

796
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:38.480
<v Speaker 5>back the Pistons. I know they lost tonight to you Jah,

797
00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:42.599
<v Speaker 5>but they are certainly on a better road than they

798
00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:48.159
<v Speaker 5>were one season ago. So that's my town.

799
00:48:48.679 --> 00:48:51.280
<v Speaker 1>That's your town. Well, I'm gonna let Jeremy have a

800
00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:54.719
<v Speaker 1>little bit of time, So I'm gonna go to Pensman first, Pensman,

801
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:56.239
<v Speaker 1>what's happening in your town?

802
00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:02.639
<v Speaker 3>Currently, the Pittsburgh Penguins are winning against the Nashville well

803
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:05.960
<v Speaker 3>tied with the Nashville Prewers fifteen minutes and fifty eight seconds.

804
00:49:06.199 --> 00:49:08.800
<v Speaker 3>I just got done telling Scott last night that Sidney

805
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:11.719
<v Speaker 3>Crosby better step up his game because he hasn't scored

806
00:49:11.760 --> 00:49:15.199
<v Speaker 3>in a long time. He put it a Goalilaite and

807
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Mike Tomlin. Time of possession number one, number two, clock management,

808
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:28.000
<v Speaker 3>two minute warning, use your time outs proper, use your

809
00:49:28.039 --> 00:49:31.800
<v Speaker 3>time with possession. Wisely, you cannot win games with twenty

810
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:36.639
<v Speaker 3>minutes of possession time and ten first outs, think Tomlin,

811
00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:38.760
<v Speaker 3>think that's my talent?

812
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:45.840
<v Speaker 4>Jere me, Well, we already talked about the injury situation

813
00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:48.760
<v Speaker 4>here in Detroit and it's getting better, and I expect

814
00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:50.840
<v Speaker 4>there's a couple more that will come off the IR

815
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:53.480
<v Speaker 4>in the next couple of weeks, because we still got

816
00:49:53.519 --> 00:49:57.320
<v Speaker 4>and Loan is supposed to return by week eighteen. Mostly

817
00:49:57.360 --> 00:49:59.360
<v Speaker 4>it's been back. But when will you see him on

818
00:49:59.400 --> 00:50:01.719
<v Speaker 4>the field. That's a big question. I'm tired of paying

819
00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:05.880
<v Speaker 4>him to ride the bike and Chris Ellich open up

820
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:08.639
<v Speaker 4>the checkbook. The either plan can't work if you won't

821
00:50:08.679 --> 00:50:15.360
<v Speaker 4>get good players, and neither will the Tigers that might.

822
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Know that's your tone. Okay, So I've got a couple

823
00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:23.360
<v Speaker 1>of things. The Milwaukee Brewers signed in the least extension

824
00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:25.920
<v Speaker 1>that will keep them in the state of Wisconsin till

825
00:50:26.039 --> 00:50:30.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifty. Great for Milwaukee. The other thing is the

826
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA Cup Finals the NBA, but

827
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:41.280
<v Speaker 1>one of the things that was also announced during that finals.

828
00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:46.000
<v Speaker 1>ESPN has announced that ninety one year old Hub Brown

829
00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:50.119
<v Speaker 1>will call the final game of his broadcasting career on

830
00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:54.119
<v Speaker 1>February ninth. It'll be a full circle moment for Brown.

831
00:50:54.599 --> 00:50:58.920
<v Speaker 1>The Basketball Hall of Famers finale will be in Milwaukee,

832
00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:03.679
<v Speaker 1>where where his professional coaching career started in nineteen seventy two.

833
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:08.199
<v Speaker 1>The Bucks will play host to Philadelphia that afternoon, with

834
00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:11.639
<v Speaker 1>the game preceding that day's Super Bowl. Brown will work

835
00:51:11.679 --> 00:51:15.519
<v Speaker 1>with the game work the game on ABC alongside Mike Breen,

836
00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:19.079
<v Speaker 1>who will handle play by play duties. ESPN released the

837
00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:21.719
<v Speaker 1>news during the NBA Cup Finals in Las Vegas on

838
00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday night. Brown is a two time NBA Coach of

839
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:29.519
<v Speaker 1>the Year and had stints as head coach in New York, Memphis,

840
00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and Atlanta. He has been with ESPN since two thousand

841
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:37.159
<v Speaker 1>and four. ESPN said it would honor Brown's career, including

842
00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:41.360
<v Speaker 1>more than fifty years associated with the NBA and thirty

843
00:51:41.360 --> 00:51:45.800
<v Speaker 1>five years as a national television and radio analyst throughout

844
00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:46.880
<v Speaker 1>that broadcast.

845
00:51:47.239 --> 00:51:51.079
<v Speaker 4>Now that's something to tear about exactly.

846
00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Good career, good career as an analyst.

847
00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:58.480
<v Speaker 1>So that's something that looks forward to in twenty twenty five.

848
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Any other topics you guys want to bring to the

849
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:03.599
<v Speaker 1>table tonight.

850
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:10.960
<v Speaker 3>I got one, Okay, I got one, And I'm not

851
00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:13.760
<v Speaker 3>trying to make fun of Jeremy. I'm not gonna say anything,

852
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:15.480
<v Speaker 3>but I want to just want to hear his opinion.

853
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:19.960
<v Speaker 3>Had you guys as well. JJ McCarthy's supposed to get

854
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:25.599
<v Speaker 3>healed up by next year. Will JJ McCarthy's start next

855
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:28.079
<v Speaker 3>year instead of Sam Darnold.

856
00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:33.960
<v Speaker 4>I yes, because they really can't afford to give thirty

857
00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:39.480
<v Speaker 4>million dollars minimum to a QB outside of JJ. They're

858
00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:42.199
<v Speaker 4>probably going to resign Daniel Jones at like a ten

859
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:45.599
<v Speaker 4>eleven million dollar contract, who still has guaranteed money being

860
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:48.679
<v Speaker 4>paid to him by the Giants as a backup. But

861
00:52:48.800 --> 00:52:51.920
<v Speaker 4>you may see Daniel Jones just start the season. And

862
00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:55.440
<v Speaker 4>there there's one thing you can't say about KOC. He

863
00:52:55.559 --> 00:52:59.719
<v Speaker 4>has been for the last two seasons dead quarterback, career

864
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:04.920
<v Speaker 4>reclamation project. He brings anybody in and they can win

865
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:07.920
<v Speaker 4>a game or two for him. So because with that

866
00:53:08.079 --> 00:53:10.800
<v Speaker 4>second surgery, everybody says, oh, it's just a cleanup, he'll

867
00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:13.920
<v Speaker 4>be fine, they come to find out during his rehab

868
00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:16.519
<v Speaker 4>he pore the meniscus again while they were in there.

869
00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:20.719
<v Speaker 4>They repaired it again. So JJ might not be ready

870
00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:23.320
<v Speaker 4>even by the week one of the season.

871
00:53:25.239 --> 00:53:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, George, and.

872
00:53:28.679 --> 00:53:32.639
<v Speaker 2>He thought, no, I just think it's a big gamble.

873
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:35.119
<v Speaker 5>Uh. You know, he's been out all year, and like

874
00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:38.360
<v Speaker 5>Jeremy said, I mean there's a lot of rehab that

875
00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:41.800
<v Speaker 5>goes into coming back, and they all, but I agree

876
00:53:41.840 --> 00:53:44.800
<v Speaker 5>with you the two about the amount of money for

877
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:48.559
<v Speaker 5>somebody that's a veteran like Darnold, it is a crapshoot, really,

878
00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:51.519
<v Speaker 5>But the team has won twelve games this year with

879
00:53:51.639 --> 00:53:52.079
<v Speaker 5>this guy.

880
00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:55.320
<v Speaker 2>It'd be awful difficult in my mind.

881
00:53:55.079 --> 00:53:56.760
<v Speaker 5>To think that they're going to close the door on

882
00:53:56.800 --> 00:53:58.920
<v Speaker 5>that chapters.

883
00:53:59.639 --> 00:54:02.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the fans have actually said, because I talked to

884
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:04.840
<v Speaker 4>a lot of them with the shows that I run

885
00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:10.039
<v Speaker 4>in the NFC North Era area, they said, unless he

886
00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:13.119
<v Speaker 4>went gets them to the super Bowl, and I doubt

887
00:54:13.119 --> 00:54:17.920
<v Speaker 4>they do. Oh really, he won't be resigned. Okay, they

888
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:20.480
<v Speaker 4>don't want them resigned. They want to start the jj

889
00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:24.199
<v Speaker 4>mcsy and whatever else you have. It's thirty million dollars

890
00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:28.119
<v Speaker 4>when you only have forty to sixty million left. Oh,

891
00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:31.119
<v Speaker 4>I know you got to make you know. It's the

892
00:54:31.159 --> 00:54:35.239
<v Speaker 4>same conversations we've had here in Detroit, and that's why

893
00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:38.519
<v Speaker 4>they've been frugal. Everybody can say it's dollars store, Brad.

894
00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:42.239
<v Speaker 4>It's smart when you got less money starting the next

895
00:54:42.280 --> 00:54:44.960
<v Speaker 4>year than you had the previous year to roll over

896
00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:46.440
<v Speaker 4>and make yourself have some more.

897
00:54:47.360 --> 00:54:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

898
00:54:48.559 --> 00:54:52.679
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, And it's hard to pay one guy an absorbing

899
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:55.199
<v Speaker 1>amount of money when you need to have depth, you

900
00:54:55.239 --> 00:54:58.039
<v Speaker 1>need to have backups, you need to have people that protect.

901
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:02.119
<v Speaker 1>Let's face it, the quarterback POSI has gotten salaries have

902
00:55:02.159 --> 00:55:05.239
<v Speaker 1>gotten astronomical, and some of them are way out of whack.

903
00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Is if you don't if you don't pay for the

904
00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:13.360
<v Speaker 1>offensive line that to help protect him and have running backs,

905
00:55:13.960 --> 00:55:16.159
<v Speaker 1>then what good is paying one quarterback Because if you're

906
00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:19.320
<v Speaker 1>only paying one guy, he can't do if there's no

907
00:55:19.480 --> 00:55:21.519
<v Speaker 1>I in a team.

908
00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:22.119
<v Speaker 2>Right.

909
00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:25.320
<v Speaker 4>I do want to add one more thing because it

910
00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:30.280
<v Speaker 4>happened right in your area. Miami Christian or Northern Christian

911
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:34.400
<v Speaker 4>Academy won their state championship in the first year that

912
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:39.760
<v Speaker 4>Teddy Bridgewater was head coach in Division three A. And

913
00:55:39.800 --> 00:55:42.679
<v Speaker 4>now he said, if there's a team with an injured

914
00:55:42.719 --> 00:55:45.679
<v Speaker 4>starting quarterback that needs somebody to come in and help,

915
00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:47.079
<v Speaker 4>I'm available.

916
00:55:48.639 --> 00:55:52.079
<v Speaker 3>Hey, hey, Teddy, good job, Teddy.

917
00:55:52.760 --> 00:55:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, way to go coach.

918
00:55:55.280 --> 00:55:58.360
<v Speaker 4>In the semi final game, not only did they go

919
00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:01.239
<v Speaker 4>un defeat it through this entire season, they beat the

920
00:56:01.360 --> 00:56:07.280
<v Speaker 4>other team sixty three to nothing. Ooh, just as a

921
00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:13.199
<v Speaker 4>team that had four wins the previous season. Wow, wow,

922
00:56:14.239 --> 00:56:18.360
<v Speaker 4>So you're talking about Yes, they had some players developing

923
00:56:18.360 --> 00:56:21.079
<v Speaker 4>that became starters out of the dav and the varsity

924
00:56:21.159 --> 00:56:24.480
<v Speaker 4>rings and everything else. If you're talking about a first

925

<v Speaker 4>year high school head coach coached a team to an

926
