Speaker 1: Welcome back Drive time on a Monday afternoon. Monday is
Speaker 1: always pre jam packed on the sports side, reacting to
Speaker 1: all the football, hoops, hockey, MMA boxing over the weekend.
Speaker 1: It was Stevenson, still vest of the former Utes NFL
Speaker 1: linebacker busy man over the weekend, I'm sure of course
Speaker 1: in Boulder for Utah and Colorado. He was doing some
Speaker 1: high school football stuff on Friday. Slide how are you, man?
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, pee, I just think about it. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to figure out how I made it through the weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was nuts. The twelve hours of high school football
Speaker 2: on Thursday and Friday and then five am flight to Boulder.
Speaker 2: My uber driver, Man, he's the real MVP. Man. He
Speaker 2: had a he was going a little above the speed
Speaker 2: limit to get me to the stadium before pre show. Am.
Speaker 2: So I appreciate him for that as.
Speaker 3: Long as we let you there, get you there safely.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah he did. Man, he was great. He was great,
Speaker 2: two hands on the wheel, he was focused, you know,
Speaker 2: so I can only appreciate that. But yeah, man, it
Speaker 2: was good. It was good.
Speaker 3: Did you uh?
Speaker 1: You mentioned the high school stuff on Friday. A lot
Speaker 1: of state titles to be determined over the course of
Speaker 1: the next week or so. A few of them, the
Speaker 1: smaller schools actually were determined already, including my my buddy
Speaker 1: Jalen winning another one down at San Juan. You've got
Speaker 1: a bunch more with I think three, A, four, A, five,
Speaker 1: A plus coming up this this week. Give the folks
Speaker 1: the latest there on where they can find your coverage
Speaker 1: and what you're looking forward to. We'll get into of course,
Speaker 1: you talk Colorado and Big twelve stuff as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, if you guys want to tune in. Honestly,
Speaker 2: this has been one of the best UH semi final
Speaker 2: matchups that we had. It was snow blowouts. These teams
Speaker 2: are are really evenly matched, some really good football, so
Speaker 2: I absolutely love it. But download the KSL Sports app
Speaker 2: and we're streaming those games all day, all long. You
Speaker 2: catch that anytime. But you're getting to see that the
Speaker 2: new and up and coming talent in this state. You
Speaker 2: know from the amazing twenty twenty six class. I'm telling you,
Speaker 2: there's a group of juniors throughout this state are gonna
Speaker 2: be this. This is gonna be one of the best
Speaker 2: recruiting years in Utah this next year in high school football,
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six class, so you get to see them,
Speaker 2: you get to see the seniors that are right now.
Speaker 2: Four A, five A, six A is gonna be awesome lineups.
Speaker 2: Four A Spanish four versus Crimson Cliffs that's down in
Speaker 2: southern Utah. That's that's gonna be a premier matchup. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be actually my favorite matchup of the state finals.
Speaker 2: And then five A you're gonna get Bountiful versus Roy,
Speaker 2: and that's gonna be awesome. They're in the same region,
Speaker 2: so they're very familiar with one another. Roy only has
Speaker 2: one loss on the season and that's too Bountiful, So
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a crazy, crazy matchup. Roy's gonna
Speaker 2: have to get some get back. Roy did an amazing
Speaker 2: job of knocking out Tim View, which is a juggernaut
Speaker 2: down there, which we all know. And then six eight
Speaker 2: Long Peak Corner Kane. You know, as as familiar as
Speaker 2: those names are, it wasn't an easy road for them
Speaker 2: to get to the final this year, and so they're
Speaker 2: pushing out and cream our Corner Kayane only has one
Speaker 2: loss on the season and guess who that's against Loan
Speaker 2: Peak you get, So it's gonna be some amazing matchups
Speaker 2: on Thursday, So tune in the case how Sports that
Speaker 2: we're streaming that game. It's gonna be absolutely awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Spence is a bountiful guy and all all of
Speaker 1: my friends coach on the roy staff. So we'll have
Speaker 1: to we'll have to talk about that one on Thursday.
Speaker 1: I'll be down there at Rice Cycle Stadium looking forward
Speaker 1: to it. All right, sly over to the college game. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: we got to talk about it. Utah visits Boulder, visit Colorado,
Speaker 1: and they find a Buffs team that, man, it looks
Speaker 1: a whole lot different than any team that we have
Speaker 1: seen in the last decade or so. Give us an
Speaker 1: idea of and you've been to Boulder multiple times in
Speaker 1: that time frame, Slie, give us not an idea of
Speaker 1: how different this trip to Boulder felt off the field.
Speaker 1: We'll get to what went wrong for Utah on the field,
Speaker 1: but I got to imagine Dion and in that environment,
Speaker 1: that that community that they've got kind of building there.
Speaker 1: I think they had fifty five thousand at that at
Speaker 1: that stadium on Saturday. Give us an idea how different
Speaker 1: it is from you know, maybe four or five years
Speaker 1: ago when you were in Boulder and the cold with
Speaker 1: a few thousand watching it.
Speaker 2: Completely different, right from driving up to the state. I
Speaker 2: mean the hardest part was getting that last block into
Speaker 2: the stadium for me to get up there. There is
Speaker 2: so much going on, it's so many things. It's it's
Speaker 2: it's insane. I heard that they had eight hundred plus
Speaker 2: media credentials. Now, porter, I know you understand that, but folks,
Speaker 2: eight hundred media credentials that need to be had for
Speaker 2: the game, and I'm like, that is insane. So from
Speaker 2: photographers to reporters to uh, radio personalities, TV personalities, you know, photogs, writers,
Speaker 2: there was eight hundred media credentials that were handed out
Speaker 2: in this game, and it was awesome. The stadium was packed,
Speaker 2: it was rocking. They were doing amazing things. Uh. They
Speaker 2: got a nice little setup in between timeouts and and pregame.
Speaker 2: They already already did the running buffalo, but it just
Speaker 2: seemed that much crazier this year. So so Diaz got
Speaker 2: the magic, he's got the the the personality that that
Speaker 2: is fitting over there and you're seeing it throughout Uh.
Speaker 2: Well one, I mean their shop right just watching their
Speaker 2: fans wearing Prime gear. Uh, and the new Caacu logos.
Speaker 2: I'm like, he's hitting at home with that, and I
Speaker 2: know he's getting a great portion. He's a smart businessman.
Speaker 2: So Dion is just he's hitting in all cylinders right now.
Speaker 2: If he can get your door and Travis on the
Speaker 2: same team in the league, which if anybody can, it's him.
Speaker 2: He's literally one of those people that is able to
Speaker 2: pave his own way. He sees the vision and he
Speaker 2: can really make that happen, and that is so hard
Speaker 2: to do and so you have to commend him for that.
Speaker 2: He's doing a great job at Colorado.
Speaker 4: A sly Trey Fitzgerald here filling in with Porter for
Speaker 4: Spence to hear your voice. Tell me, you know, how
Speaker 4: long do you think Dion has in Boulder. There's a
Speaker 4: lot of people talking about him maybe going to the Raiders,
Speaker 4: maybe going back to Florida State. Like the turnaround and
Speaker 4: Boulder is insane and amazing as you just kind of
Speaker 4: painted the picture. But you know, what more does he
Speaker 4: have to do because it's been twenty years since that
Speaker 4: program meant anything. College football is different now. But where
Speaker 4: do you see Dion next year and maybe in a
Speaker 4: couple more years after that?
Speaker 2: Well, the world is his right, and so I think
Speaker 2: that he can just choose whatever he wants to do.
Speaker 2: If you want to stay at Colorado, if he wants
Speaker 2: to go. I don't know his contract situation, right, But
Speaker 2: you got to understand these people like Texas A and
Speaker 2: m Florida State, they got money whatever buyout, whatever buyout
Speaker 2: they want, they can make that happen. Ten million dollars,
Speaker 2: fourteen whatever. They can make that happen if they want
Speaker 2: Dion to do that. Dion has been with his kids
Speaker 2: since they were young youngsters, right, So does he take
Speaker 2: his talents back to the NFL and and tries coaching
Speaker 2: ranks on there so he can stay close to them,
Speaker 2: I don't know, or is he going to let them
Speaker 2: grow up and just handle their own He can do
Speaker 2: whatever he wants, right, And so I think that's just
Speaker 2: that's that's an amazing deal. People want to talk about
Speaker 2: nepotism and this and that, and if you have the
Speaker 2: ability because of you know, what you put in, the
Speaker 2: work that you put in, then then go ahead, you know,
Speaker 2: because with competition as it is, right, Like let's talk
Speaker 2: about Bronnie James for example, if Bronni James wasn't gonna
Speaker 2: make it happen. People are going to exploit that, right
Speaker 2: it's on the professional level with college or in the pros.
Speaker 2: And so just because he's able to make that happen
Speaker 2: doesn't negate the fact that, you know, Lebronos has been
Speaker 2: putting in work in order to make that happen. Dion
Speaker 2: is putting in work to make that happen. And so
Speaker 2: if you have the ability to control your own narrative
Speaker 2: aka Jake Paul, go ahead do it. You got to
Speaker 2: commend somebody's hustle. And so I think that that's what
Speaker 2: Dion's doing. I got to respect his hustle. He's doing
Speaker 2: this thing out in Colorado. I don't see him at
Speaker 2: Colorado this next year. I think Colorado has made great money,
Speaker 2: you know, with him being there, and they'll be able
Speaker 2: to waver the storm and make a new move after
Speaker 2: he leaves. But I think, honestly, I see Florida State
Speaker 2: as the best ending point for for prime after Colorado here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll, you know, we'll see how that all
Speaker 1: plays out. Of course, with his kids in Boulder, as
Speaker 1: long as there's a Sanders on the roster, I'm sure
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna be there, But once that ends, man,
Speaker 1: I really don't see many ties to that happening.
Speaker 3: If there's an opening in.
Speaker 1: At Florida State, yeah, I think that's the natural fit
Speaker 1: because I think he feels like more of a college
Speaker 1: guy than than a pro guy.
Speaker 3: But you never know.
Speaker 1: With the right pocketbook and the right offer, I'm sure
Speaker 1: he'll move on.
Speaker 3: To the next opportunity.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: That's off the field.
Speaker 1: He's clearly done a good job of cultivating all of that,
Speaker 1: and it's brought a lot of money. It's brought a
Speaker 1: lot of attention to Colorado. But on the field, it's
Speaker 1: not just flash either slide. That's a top five Big
Speaker 1: Twelve defense. It's a team scoring thirty four points per game,
Speaker 1: and they're right in line to play in a Big
Speaker 1: Twelve championship and possibly a college football playoff. What have
Speaker 1: they done on the field differently from even last year
Speaker 1: when they had a lot of these guys on the roster.
Speaker 2: I mean they look like a team for once, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, they don't look like a whole bunch of
Speaker 2: individuals up there, right. I still think that they have
Speaker 2: huge O line issues, and playing against Utah, I think
Speaker 2: we exploited them a little bit. So if they can
Speaker 2: fix that going ahead, that's gonna be huge for them
Speaker 2: to do, is to fix their on line issues, because
Speaker 2: if Shador doesn't have time, it's going to be hard
Speaker 2: sledding for them when they get to the CFP. But
Speaker 2: right now, I think that they can win out. They
Speaker 2: can win out here. They put up enough points. They
Speaker 2: have they have the right tools to make that happen.
Speaker 2: I think Chador is more comfortable with the talent that
Speaker 2: he has around him, right, He's able to make the adjustments.
Speaker 2: I'm sitting, I'm very in tune with what's going on,
Speaker 2: so I'm paying attention to them offensively and what checks
Speaker 2: did they make? What is Shador seeing that he's checking
Speaker 2: too from us? I think that we confuse him a
Speaker 2: couple of times. But he's got command. He can change guys.
Speaker 2: They don't huddle, They just they go to the line
Speaker 2: of scrimmage. He takes a look and he sees Colorado
Speaker 2: has a problem because they don't know how to be conservative. Right,
Speaker 2: so when they have the game in hand, they don't
Speaker 2: know how to slow it down and run a four
Speaker 2: minute offense. They have absolutely no idea how to do that,
Speaker 2: and so that could be proving to be a problem
Speaker 2: down the road when they need to be able to
Speaker 2: control the game and keep their defense off the field
Speaker 2: right and just because they can't, they do take risks,
Speaker 2: they'll get you turnovers, and so there's things like that.
Speaker 2: But for me, the difference that I see in Colorado
Speaker 2: is they got a lot more familiarity, they got a
Speaker 2: lot more chemistry, and they got a lot more belief
Speaker 2: in making things happen. And so I think that's just
Speaker 2: proven success for them. They like the glam, they like
Speaker 2: the hype. I'm telling you, when they make a play,
Speaker 2: what they do in that stadium is awesome. The crowd
Speaker 2: jumps in it, the scoreboard, all of the other effects,
Speaker 2: and that makes the players play better. So they thrive
Speaker 2: and they vuy off of that. And so I'm just
Speaker 2: if there was any worry for them is when that
Speaker 2: adversity hits in a neutral site or an off site game,
Speaker 2: will they be able to handle, you know, that adversity,
Speaker 2: or when they don't have, you know, the effects of
Speaker 2: the home crowd helping them out.
Speaker 4: Sly speaking of adversity, obviously that that Utah locker room
Speaker 4: has had their head spinning for for six straight weeks now.
Speaker 4: And you know, I heard Mackai Bernard on with OC
Speaker 4: late last week talking about just trying to, you know,
Speaker 4: put everything into every rep, put it on film, get
Speaker 4: things right, you know for next year. That obviously doesn't
Speaker 4: work for the guys that aren't going to be here,
Speaker 4: But for the guys that are being close to the
Speaker 4: team and being around the group, do you do you
Speaker 4: like the attitude and the work ethic what you're seeing,
Speaker 4: even as the results aren't going their way right now?
Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard for outside perspectives to kind of
Speaker 2: understand kind of the mindset that these guys are having
Speaker 2: right now, right, and and so it's just a difficult
Speaker 2: situation and one thing that I can commit as an alumni,
Speaker 2: as a guy, I see these guys giving that effort, right.
Speaker 2: I don't see any quit in these guys. I see frustration,
Speaker 2: which is totally normal. But these guys continue to go
Speaker 2: out there every single play and make that happen. We
Speaker 2: just missed on a lot of plays. We've missed on
Speaker 2: a lot of opportunities. We beat ourselves up in this
Speaker 2: game of Colorado, right, you know, not being able to
Speaker 2: score after a huge momentum change to start the game
Speaker 2: with the land of Barton interception. You know, that's that's heartbreaking,
Speaker 2: you know, getting quick three and outs all the time,
Speaker 2: you know, not hitting wide open guys. Those things are frustrating,
Speaker 2: and so they just compile and you allow Colorado to
Speaker 2: stay in the game and instead of putting them away.
Speaker 2: We had plenty of opportunity in this game against Colorado,
Speaker 2: but I commend Colorado. Their defense played top notch. Their
Speaker 2: defense was all over the place. They bubed even on
Speaker 2: the mistakes that we made, they capitalized on opportunities from
Speaker 2: the interceptions and fumbles and turnovers to uh, you know,
Speaker 2: getting that quick turnover and then scoring. Right, they did
Speaker 2: a rushing play. They caught us in a zero, We
Speaker 2: had nobody in the middle of the field, one guy
Speaker 2: missed the gap and touchdown, you know, And so that's
Speaker 2: that's life, right, is capitalizing on opportunity when it's when
Speaker 2: it's presented. And I think Colorado did a great job
Speaker 2: of doing that in that game, even after their first
Speaker 2: play of the game mistake. And so, you know, I
Speaker 2: just love to see Utah fight and they're continuing to fight,
Speaker 2: They're continuing to put it on tape, because no matter what,
Speaker 2: if these guys stay with Utah, they transfer, they go
Speaker 2: to the draft, they take the next step. They want
Speaker 2: to have good film, right, They want to show that
Speaker 2: I'm a fighter, I'm no matter the cause. They don't
Speaker 2: want to put bad things on tape. And so with that,
Speaker 2: it only behooves them to give it their best effort
Speaker 2: each and every time. If they can knock off of Colorado,
Speaker 2: you know, eliminated Iowa State from Big twelve competition or
Speaker 2: Big Twelve championship contention, that's what they want to do.
Speaker 2: And if they can do that, you know, each and
Speaker 2: every play, you know, I think that that's where their
Speaker 2: mindset is. Their mindset is, let me get these last
Speaker 2: two wins to get to a Bowl game, and let
Speaker 2: me put some good things on tape.
Speaker 1: Obviously, you mentioned that slide the last two games in
Speaker 1: order to get to Bowl eligibility. Motivation outside of that is,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe playing spoiler for Iowa State back to
Speaker 1: the matchup. I'll get to the remaining two games here. Momentarily,
Speaker 1: it seemed like Isaac Wilson had moments where he really
Speaker 1: settled in. It seemed like there were there were kind
Speaker 1: of flashes of him. Well, the way I describe it
Speaker 1: in Character Rise, it is catching up with the speed
Speaker 1: of the game. I feel like that's been an issue
Speaker 1: with Isaac throughout the majority of the season. I think
Speaker 1: he dealt with a lot of struggles with the speed
Speaker 1: of Colorado's defense. How have you felt he's progressed throughout
Speaker 1: the year going forward? And what do you want to
Speaker 1: see in these these last two games to feel confident
Speaker 1: in one Isaac Wilson handling that offense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean a lot of people got to see
Speaker 2: that Isaac in this game. The flashes that you talk about, right,
Speaker 2: that's what the coaches are seeing. There's like, you have
Speaker 2: the capability, you can do this, but it's just not
Speaker 2: translating on Saturday. And so that's the most frustrating part
Speaker 2: from you know, the players to the coaches. So it's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: we want to make the right decision. We're seeing this guy,
Speaker 2: he's putting in the work, he has the capability. What
Speaker 2: are we missing on Saturdays? And so you know, that's
Speaker 2: hard to coach, that's hard to game plan for, it's
Speaker 2: hard to do anything for. But you know, we're just
Speaker 2: in a position right now where we just need better
Speaker 2: quarterback play, and Isaac's got to step up. He's got
Speaker 2: to own whatever has happened in the past and move over.
Speaker 2: He can't hang his hat over the past. That's why
Speaker 2: the quarterback position is so so vital, so important, and
Speaker 2: why everybody says as a quarterback, you gotta have a
Speaker 2: short memory. You can't think of all the other things,
Speaker 2: right because you know, look, Isaac Wilson didn't have a
Speaker 2: great first half, right he comes out in that second
Speaker 2: half and he was slinging it, you know, and then
Speaker 2: we got some touchdowns, we got some defensive turnovers, we
Speaker 2: made some things happen. But you gotta have a short memory.
Speaker 2: Forget about the past, forget about all those other games.
Speaker 2: Worry about the right now. I think Isaac Wilson, I
Speaker 2: can't really say that there's been huge developmental jumps because
Speaker 2: we're just watching the games, but you know, you do
Speaker 2: have to understanding things are faster, and so hopefully this
Speaker 2: offseason he can really master that and understand like it's
Speaker 2: a whole new level of competition. And I have to
Speaker 2: do that not only for myself but for my teammates
Speaker 2: because everybody's relying on me.
Speaker 1: Back to that last question, knowing that a bowl game
Speaker 1: and maybe playing spoiler at Iowa State is your your
Speaker 1: real only motivation going into these these final games? What
Speaker 1: do you want to see from this Utah football team
Speaker 1: big picture going forward into the offseason to you know,
Speaker 1: maybe leave with a better taste in your mouth than
Speaker 1: you have right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the same thing that we we We've
Speaker 2: been you know, understanding about this team for the last
Speaker 2: however long. Right, we have the talent, we have the personnel.
Speaker 2: You know. I want these guys to go out there
Speaker 2: for this Iowa State game and just put it on display.
Speaker 2: You know, Iowa State is a good team, go make
Speaker 2: them look like not a good team, right. I just
Speaker 2: I want to see sex. I want to see turnovers.
Speaker 2: We got that against Colorado. We need to see more.
Speaker 2: You know. Here's the thing. We got to shor Sanders
Speaker 2: so many times and finish right, and we got there
Speaker 2: with four man pressure. We have some amazing defensive linemen.
Speaker 2: I want to see more finishes with that. So I
Speaker 2: want to see these guys just take pride and playing
Speaker 2: the game of football because it's it's so limited, man,
Speaker 2: it's not for long. You want to get an old
Speaker 2: guy like me, and then you're just you're reeling right,
Speaker 2: You're just wishing that you had another opportunity. So I
Speaker 2: want these guys to live with no regrets and let
Speaker 2: them know that they left it all out there on
Speaker 2: the field, and whatever the future holds, the future holds.
Speaker 2: But as far as right now, it's playing the game
Speaker 2: of football and making that happen. So I hope that
Speaker 2: they go out there on Saturday and just make all
Speaker 2: those plays, get all those turnovers, get all those touchdowns,
Speaker 2: you know, and understand what they should have been doing
Speaker 2: all season. That they still have that capability, they still
Speaker 2: have that know how that they can do those things.
Speaker 2: So just go out there and play with pride and passion.
Speaker 3: Alright, SLYI.
Speaker 1: How about your Steelers man, Mike Tomland Russell Wilson. Obviously
Speaker 1: that's a team you're still got some love for. And uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's been a little bit of a
Speaker 1: roller coaster, but they seem to have figured some stuff out.
Speaker 1: Seemed to be a kind of what you expect out
Speaker 1: of a Mike tomlin Seiler's team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tough, right, We've said it all along. We have
Speaker 2: a darn good defense. If we get some satisfactory quarterback play.
Speaker 2: Look what it could happen, right, I think this game
Speaker 2: was all field goals for Pittsburgh, Right, And even though
Speaker 2: we got down there, we got a darn good kicker,
Speaker 2: but we didn't kick ourselves in the in the butt
Speaker 2: with with turnovers and and and and messing ourselves up
Speaker 2: that way. Right. It's it's kind of like if we
Speaker 2: were able to do that, right, Like, we only had
Speaker 2: one turnover in that game, but it didn't hurt us.
Speaker 2: And so if we could just be complimentary, we can
Speaker 2: win games. Pittsburgh is known for for being gritty and
Speaker 2: and gutting out tough wins. Right. They're built for that,
Speaker 2: Their defense is built for that, the city is built
Speaker 2: for that. So if we could just get our offense
Speaker 2: to get us in field goal range so we can
Speaker 2: get some points, our defense will be able to hold.
Speaker 2: You know, these teams, what Baltimore Ravens was averaging what
Speaker 2: thirty six points coming into coming into that game, and
Speaker 2: we were able to hold them the sixteen total points.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. They're gonna be able to gut out some
Speaker 2: tough wins, and they're gonna be a team that you're
Speaker 2: gonna have to like really fight out and and try
Speaker 2: to waiver their confidence come playoff time because they're riding
Speaker 2: high right now and that's all they need. And so
Speaker 2: it's it's been terrific. I know, the Steelers has probably
Speaker 2: got the best chance to win the AFC North now,
Speaker 2: so they get the chance to have a first round
Speaker 2: home field advantage, which is a huge asset in the
Speaker 2: NFL playoffs. But they're just playing great right now, and
Speaker 2: they're just playing complimentary football. Special teams is making plays.
Speaker 2: My guy Danny Smith, just watching him smack that gum
Speaker 2: on the sideline, it's just freaking hilarious. But special teams,
Speaker 2: defense and offense, they're all playing great, man, and they're
Speaker 2: gonna be a force to be reckoned with here five.
Speaker 3: In a row.
Speaker 1: They're eight and two, and they're one of just three
Speaker 1: teams in the AFC Slie with two or fewer losses,
Speaker 1: the other two Buffalo and Kansas City Now City.
Speaker 3: It's been fun.
Speaker 1: It's been fun to watch, and you know, I'm pulling
Speaker 1: for your guys as long as Mike Tomlin and my
Speaker 1: guy Jalen Warner or in Pittsburgh, I'm cheering for him.
Speaker 1: But do they have enough to stand with those other
Speaker 1: two teams that I just mentioned in the AFC side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. As I said, you played great defense. You
Speaker 2: can make anything happen. Josh Allen. If you look at
Speaker 2: the Bills, Josh Allen is just being mister everything right there.
Speaker 2: And so if you can take away Josh Allen by
Speaker 2: getting pressure on him and making him use his legs
Speaker 2: more than using it, being able to use both, Josh
Speaker 2: Allen has been able to use his legs and his
Speaker 2: arm to make all these plays. If you see those
Speaker 2: plays in those Kansas City games, you know him scoring
Speaker 2: those touch ups, Like if you can eliminate that one
Speaker 2: of those factors, you put yourself in position. There's gonna
Speaker 2: be tough, gritted games right now. I'm telling you Christmas
Speaker 2: Day is gonna be absolutely insane because that's gonna be
Speaker 2: a game to determine some kind of home field advantage,
Speaker 2: you know from the Pittsburgh and Kansas City's perfective. So
Speaker 2: those guys are gonna be wanting that game as much
Speaker 2: as possible, and so you got to look out for that.
Speaker 2: But you know, we got straight AFC North games right now.
Speaker 2: Face the Browns who are struggling the Bengals, who is
Speaker 2: a wild card. You don't know what you're gonna get
Speaker 2: from them. He got the Eagles coming up as well,
Speaker 2: talented team. You play the Ravens again, you know, closer
Speaker 2: to Christmas that Ravens Chiefs back to back weeks are
Speaker 2: gonna be very, very insane. But the Steelers right now,
Speaker 2: every single week, you have no idea what you're gonna
Speaker 2: get from them. You're just gonna get a good football game,
Speaker 2: and that's what Steelers are known for.
Speaker 1: I know you've been super busy, including into last week,
Speaker 1: but did you did you leave a few minutes to
Speaker 1: see Mike Tyson.
Speaker 3: Fight on Friday?
Speaker 2: Unfortunately I did.
Speaker 3: A sixty year old Mike Tyson.
Speaker 2: And here's the thing, sixty year old Mike Tyson is
Speaker 2: still great. What we saw on Friday night was not
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson. That was some orchestrated narrative Mike Tyson being
Speaker 2: sixty years old. So let me just go with the
Speaker 2: with the flow. What do I need to do to
Speaker 2: get paid here? That's the exhibition match. It doesn't go
Speaker 2: on his record. People can talk about it. I mean
Speaker 2: you've heard his interviews before the match. He's like, what
Speaker 2: his legacy. Right when I'm dead, I'm dead.
Speaker 3: His legacy's done. His legacy is decided for sure.
Speaker 2: So anybody talking about like, oh Mike, Mike, Mike Tyson
Speaker 2: ruined his legacy. He doesn't care, right. He wants to
Speaker 2: know about the right now. Is his kids taking care
Speaker 2: of is he taking care of? Right? And him going
Speaker 2: eight rounds, Jake Paul putting seventy five thousand people in
Speaker 2: at and T Stadium, and uh, Mike Tyson ended up
Speaker 2: with twenty to thirty million dollars in this. Uh all,
Speaker 2: when it's all said and done, is what he cares about. So,
Speaker 2: I mean, this was I had a fear of that
Speaker 2: being the case coming into this. All the pre fight
Speaker 2: videos of Mike Tyson moving around versus the way that
Speaker 2: he was moving around in that ring, I'm just like
Speaker 2: stop and so yeah, unfortunately I did watch it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you're fifty eight, sixty years old, that is
Speaker 1: the reality when you're trying to go in combat sports.
Speaker 1: And you know, it was cool to see a legend
Speaker 1: in the ring because I'm a guy who you know,
Speaker 1: was born in the nineties. I didn't really see it,
Speaker 1: but it was also just no credibility towards Jake Paul.
Speaker 1: When you beat a guy who, let's be clear, has
Speaker 1: been using a walking stick for the last several years,
Speaker 1: like regularly used as a walking stick to get around,
Speaker 1: that is one Mike Tyson a legend. But again yeah,
Speaker 1: just kind of unfortunate I think, in my opinion to
Speaker 1: see that on Friday.
Speaker 3: So I appreciate your time.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll get you back late in the week or
Speaker 1: next week and recap utah I wasting.
Speaker 2: Thanks man, you guys take care fly
