WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:24.239
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's nick coffee.

3
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get it started hour number three here

4
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.000
<v Speaker 2>on a Monday afternoon. As we, uh, we haven't wrapped

5
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.159
<v Speaker 2>up the week yet, the weekend, I should say, I

6
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>mean we have, it's over. It's Monday. Everybody went back

7
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.039
<v Speaker 2>to work today. But when you got Monday Night Football,

8
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.280
<v Speaker 2>it kind of feels like, you know, we're still able

9
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 2>to claim this. You know, the football weekend is here.

10
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 2>You get Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, five straight

11
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 2>days of football and I'll you know, well, let me

12
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.399
<v Speaker 2>see Thursday, five Saturdays on name. Yeah, it's it's great.

13
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, I am currently about to hit let me

14
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 2>see what. Let me just make sure I give you

15
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 2>the correct terminology here, because I've got my picks for

16
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 2>underdog Fantasy for what I'm doing tonight in Monday Night Football,

17
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>and I've got them ready and I'm I'm about to

18
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 2>hit play, and by play that means I'm in. I'm

19
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 2>ready to go. So here's what I'm doing for those

20
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 2>that want to get involved, and I encourage you if

21
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>you really like getting involved in player specific outcomes, right

22
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 2>like higher or lower of a guy's passing yards touchdowns.

23
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you can really get creative. In fact, one

24
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 2>of my four picks here for this matchup tonight is

25
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 2>something I've never I've never wagered on before, but I'm

26
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>going with Jalen Hurts higher than two hundred and twenty

27
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 2>eight and a half passing yards, higher than seventy three

28
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.120
<v Speaker 2>and a half receiving yards for Devontae Smith. I'm going

29
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.079
<v Speaker 2>to go over thirty nine and a half receiving yards

30
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 2>for Kyle Pitts, and I'm going lower than thirty four

31
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>and a half yards for the longest completion for Kirk Cousins.

32
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>So that's what I'm doing. If you tailed what we

33
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>put together on Friday Underdog Fantasy with the Ravens and

34
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>the Raiders, then you cashed in, so you know, congratulations.

35
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 2>I know I was happy to see those winnings hit

36
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>the account yesterday at Underdog Fantasy. So here we go.

37
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:21.479
<v Speaker 2>If all four of these things happen, which I think

38
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 2>they will, I wouldn't have picked them, then that's an

39
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>eighty two dollars victory. And what I love about the

40
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 2>option here when it comes to putting your picks together

41
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>and making your play on underdog fantasy, they give you

42
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 2>a chance to flex it, meaning instead of doing you know,

43
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:36.879
<v Speaker 2>obviously I like a little more juice there, So I'm

44
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 2>going to do the standard play, which means if all

45
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 2>four hit, I get eighty two and if nothing. If

46
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>one of the four doesn't hit, then I get nothing.

47
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.039
<v Speaker 2>But if you flex it for a ten dollars wager here,

48
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 2>forty nine dollars and twenty cents is your payout if

49
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 2>you flexed it and all four come in. But if

50
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.000
<v Speaker 2>just three come in, you still walk away with a

51
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>little bit of profits. You're going to add twelve dollars

52
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 2>and thirty cents. So again I'm going with the standard play.

53
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 2>You can flex it, and it gives yourself a little

54
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>bit of a little bit of a of a cushion

55
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>there in case just only three of the four things

56
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>end up happening. But boom, I'm in, and you guys,

57
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, do what you want. I mean, even if

58
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 2>you think I'm terrible, you could, you could fade and

59
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 2>you could go against whatever I'm what I'm gonna pick,

60
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 2>But I wouldn't advise it because I've got some momentum

61

78
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 2>All right, so I'm excited as hell for Saturday. I mean,

79
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 2>this is not a game. I think anybody circled on

80
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 2>the calendar or the schedule here for Louisville football because

81
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech is not that much of them. I mean,

82
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>they're not a marque opponent. They're better than I think

83
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 2>most people probably thought they'd be considering they beat Florida State,

84
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 2>but now, I mean, weeks later, that doesn't look like

85
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>that impressive of a win. But it doesn't matter. They

86
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 2>have a pulse, and I'm not sure Jacksonville State and

87
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Austin p did with respect because you know, those are

88
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.399
<v Speaker 2>not teams that are going to test you. So Louisville

89
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 2>will have their first test on Saturday. And when I

90
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 2>say that, I'm excited, and I'm emphasizing the word test,

91
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>let me clarify what I mean. I'm excited because, hey,

92
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>we've never had to wait this long to see Louisville

93
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 2>play somebody we've heard of, and that excites me because

94
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 2>I've been feeding for it. I've been jealous watching other

95
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.920
<v Speaker 2>teams at least get a chance to go out there

96
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.279
<v Speaker 2>and see where they stand, see how they stack up

97
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.439
<v Speaker 2>against peers in their conference, or teams they know that

98
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 2>are really good of them had been able to do that,

99
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.759
<v Speaker 2>And to be fair, Georgia Tech's not really good. Lilves

100
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 2>expected to win they're double digit favorites in this game,

101
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I think for good reason. But it's such a vast

102
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>difference in what we've seen as far as competition in

103
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.160
<v Speaker 2>those first two opponents. So that has me excited, and

104
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>that's why I keep mentioning test. But it's not as

105
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 2>if they passed the test by covering the spread that

106
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 2>means they're going to be great. I mean, that would

107
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.160
<v Speaker 2>be encouraging, but if they won technically, it would really

108
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.439
<v Speaker 2>just be them doing what they're supposed to do. So

109
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 2>I think Louisville fans are justified and looking at this

110
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 2>team and saying, no, we are legitimately a top twenty team,

111
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 2>and we have an opportunity. We play to our potential

112
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.199
<v Speaker 2>and maybe a break goes our way here and there,

113
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe we find ourselves in the playoff. That's not delusion,

114
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.079
<v Speaker 2>that's not just, you know, a dream. I mean, it

115
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:49.639
<v Speaker 2>would be a dreamcome true fulfal was able to make

116
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 2>the College Football Playoff. But what I'm getting at is,

117
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I think you've earned at least the belief that people

118
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.959
<v Speaker 2>have in you. AP voters still think you're a top

119
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>twenty team. You're still being mentioned as a team that

120
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 2>could potentially find yourself in the playoff. Now, most of

121
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 2>that now has to do with conference standings and whatnot,

122
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 2>because we all know when your league you're in. That

123
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.600
<v Speaker 2>wasn't the case previously. So what I'm getting at is like,

124
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I think Louisville's worthy of being ranked where they are.

125
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 2>I think they're deserving to be favored, and it makes

126
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>sense that they're favored by double digits against this Georgia

127
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 2>Tech team. So I'm trying to find I guess the

128
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.079
<v Speaker 2>right way to state that. I'm again, I think you're

129
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.480
<v Speaker 2>justified and feeling great about your team given what you've seen,

130
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.240
<v Speaker 2>knowing who your coach is, knowing your personnel. But we

131
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.879
<v Speaker 2>can also acknowledge like none of it means anything until

132
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 2>they actually play somebody where you feel like you're gonna

133
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.000
<v Speaker 2>get tested in any way, and Georgia Tech may not

134
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.079
<v Speaker 2>be the biggest test, but there's certainly a big step

135
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>up from what Louisville had with Austin p and Jacksonville State.

136
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.519
<v Speaker 2>So coming off of BUYE, I would imagine they'll be

137
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 2>ready to play Georgia Tech's coming off of a beatdown

138
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.920
<v Speaker 2>victory over VMI after they had to bounce back from

139
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.560
<v Speaker 2>their loss a couple of weeks ago to Syracuse three

140
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 2>thirty kickoff. I'm excited for it, and I'm also excited

141
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.759
<v Speaker 2>for our coverage for you Saturday. Join us for the

142

<v Speaker 2>go live right here on Sports Talk seven ninety for

150
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.639
<v Speaker 2>the Louisville Football postgame Show, presented by Alex R. White,

151
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Lawyer's Suit, Distracted driver dot Com. Not exactly sure what

152
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.519
<v Speaker 2>reaction we're gonna get. I mean, it really depends on

153
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:36.680
<v Speaker 2>the outcome, of course, that's how it works. But I

154
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.879
<v Speaker 2>would imagine it'll be a victory postgame show and maybe

155
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>people will be carrying some vibes with them from ellen

156
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:48.480
<v Speaker 2>n Stadium right over there to the Highlands Festival Music Grounds.

157
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Now I get it right, John.

158
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:50.720
<v Speaker 3>Highland Festival Grounds.

159
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Highland Festival Grounds that's where the Bourbon and Beyond Music

160
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.079
<v Speaker 2>festival is, as well as Louder than Life, which will

161
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>be here next week. It's just, you know, I don't know.

162
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.680
<v Speaker 2>When I see people showing the they got tickets for

163
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:02.759
<v Speaker 2>sale or you know, listing tickets for sale and they

164
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>mentioned the venue, I'm like, what, what's that? And then

165
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 2>I realized, oh, yeah, it's just the field that they

166
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>now and it's a I think it's a good location

167
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.000
<v Speaker 2>for it, to be honest with you, like I've I've

168
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>been to a music festival there once. In fact, I

169
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.279
<v Speaker 2>guess I went twice, considering our brief stop at Louder

170
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.360
<v Speaker 2>than Life last year, And I mean, it's it's you

171
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.639
<v Speaker 2>got plenty of space, you know.

172
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 3>The only thing I've ever heard people really complain about

173
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 3>is that there's no trees. There's really no shad unless

174
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:24.600
<v Speaker 3>you're inside of tent.

175
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that would be that'd be a bummer, especially if

176
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.240
<v Speaker 2>it's hot as you know what outside. But yeah, I mean,

177
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.320
<v Speaker 2>if that's the biggest complaint, I'd say, you know, that's

178
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.919
<v Speaker 2>a yeah, that's fine, yeah, because you know, I'm sure

179
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.879
<v Speaker 2>finding a place that has that much space where you

180
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 2>can accommodate that many people and have many stages going

181
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.080
<v Speaker 2>on at the same time and not drowned each other out,

182
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Like you need a humongous area, and I'd say most

183
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.279
<v Speaker 2>areas available to you know, have a music festival of

184
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.519
<v Speaker 2>this size would not have a lot of trees. But anyways,

185
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I uh, I mean, I'll be there at least, you know,

186
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:00.120
<v Speaker 2>for the for a good chunk of the game, and

187
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>then I'm I always have to leave early just because

188
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:06.039
<v Speaker 2>I've got postgame duties. But you know, I just there's

189
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.039
<v Speaker 2>so much talk about a potential traffic nightmare. I kind

190
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.000
<v Speaker 2>of feel like it's either gonna be one of two things,

191
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:12.360
<v Speaker 2>and nowhere in the middle and I could be way

192
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 2>off here. I think it's either going to be exactly that,

193
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.440
<v Speaker 2>a huge nightmare, or it'll be fine. You'll have like

194
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of staggering to where the majority of the

195
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.080
<v Speaker 2>people that are that are gonna be getting there for

196
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the festival are probably going to be going while you're

197
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.159
<v Speaker 2>at the game, and the majority of the folks that

198
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 2>are going to the game are going to be arriving

199
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 2>prior to the big crowd of those just there for

200
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:35.279
<v Speaker 2>the festival. That that's I guess the best case scenario.

201
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.639
<v Speaker 2>But you never know, right, you never You never know.

202
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.840
<v Speaker 2>And somebody's asked us on the text line. Two different

203
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:42.759
<v Speaker 2>people have asked the same question, and it's a legitimate question.

204
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I just you know, I have no way of knowing, Like,

205
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.440
<v Speaker 2>do you think Louisville will have less fans than they

206
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:51.279
<v Speaker 2>typically would there because of this festival because people will

207
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.759
<v Speaker 2>choose to go to that rather than go to the

208
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Louisville game. Yeah, I mean, I mean, you're competing with

209
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.399
<v Speaker 2>not only a huge event in our city, compet with

210
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 2>one of the biggest music festivals in the world. It

211
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:04.840
<v Speaker 2>seems like, I mean, I don't I wouldn't be I'm

212
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 2>not as well now I'm not knowledged. I don't have

213
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.399
<v Speaker 2>enough knowledge on the music festival scene to know if

214
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:10.720
<v Speaker 2>that's a real statement. But if you look at the

215
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 2>lineup and you look at the amount of people that

216
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.519
<v Speaker 2>are going to be traveling from across the planet to

217
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 2>be here, I mean, there's a lot of people in

218
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.679
<v Speaker 2>Louisville that probably go to every football game, but they

219
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 2>see this lineup and they have access to tickets here

220
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.559
<v Speaker 2>in their hometown. They're thinking, Hey, I'm going on with

221
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.360
<v Speaker 2>the festival. Now it may work out to where the

222
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:27.240
<v Speaker 2>acts that you want to see don't actually perform at

223
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.039
<v Speaker 2>the time of the game. So look, I have no

224
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:32.399
<v Speaker 2>clue when it comes to the crowd, but I do

225
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.559
<v Speaker 2>think that that the and I don't even know the number.

226
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.159
<v Speaker 2>I intentionally didn't look for it. I don't know what

227
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 2>the attendance was as far as the announced crowd at

228
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Austin p or Jacksonville State. But I know the Louisville

229
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.399
<v Speaker 2>fan base at least well enough to say this with confidence.

230
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 2>When there's games against teams that, like, you know, we know,

231
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 2>and you know you're coming off a ten win season,

232
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.879
<v Speaker 2>it's your first ACC game, it's against Georgia Tech that

233
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.200
<v Speaker 2>was just in the top twenty five a week ago. Like,

234
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:57.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm not telling you it's gonna be a sellout and

235
00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker 2>you won't be able to find a seat and you

236
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 2>won't be able to get in, but they'll I think

237
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 2>they'll be a much better crowd and much better atmosphere

238
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 2>there than what you saw the last two games. And

239
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 2>that's not to say that the atmosphere and the crowd

240
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:08.960
<v Speaker 2>wasn't good, but the other two games, I don't know.

241
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.240
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I mean, there's no doubt this festival is

242
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.679
<v Speaker 2>a big deal, and people who love Louisville football and

243
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 2>love sports have probably made a decision, Hey, I'm gonna

244
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:23.360
<v Speaker 2>beat every game. But there's twelve of those games every year,

245
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.919
<v Speaker 2>six of them I can go to at home. This

246
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.759
<v Speaker 2>music festival, if it's you know, if they just love

247
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Zach Bryan or love I don't know who's another big

248
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:31.440
<v Speaker 2>name on Saturday.

249
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Day on Saturday, I believe, I mean, I wish I

250
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.720
<v Speaker 3>had to pull up in front of me earlier, but

251
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.440
<v Speaker 3>I do know my Morning Jackets on Sunday they're a local.

252
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 3>There's Sunday, there's Sunday. I believe Beck might be on Saturday.

253
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 3>I've got the whole. So one thing I don't like

254
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Speaker 3>about the bourbon and beyond posters, that's just a massive

255
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.440
<v Speaker 3>like all of the names of one thing. They're not

256
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.759
<v Speaker 3>separated by day like the Louder than Life festival typically.

257
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Is like there's people that I've heard of on Saturday

258
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>that I'm like, oh yeah, I like them pretty well.

259
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:58.919
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't mind seeing them, Like I have no clue

260
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.080
<v Speaker 2>if they moved the needle to where like, uh, oh

261
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.480
<v Speaker 2>you better, you better make sure you get there at

262
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.559
<v Speaker 2>this time because this, this band's gonna go.

263
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:08.759
<v Speaker 3>So the top four acts on Saturday. Obviously, we know

264
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:12.440
<v Speaker 3>Zach Brian them, Whiskey Myers plays before them, Cody Jinks

265
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:13.559
<v Speaker 3>and Young the Giant.

266
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so Whiskey Myers. I feel like it's kind of

267
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.600
<v Speaker 2>a big deal, but nowhere to the level of Zach

268
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Bryan obviously, but yeah, I mean.

269
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Nico Moon's also on Saturday. I know he's a young

270
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:26.159
<v Speaker 3>country star, isn't he.

271
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 2>Gosh, man, there are so many. I mean when I

272
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 2>say so many, I don't mean that they're all like

273
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:33.720
<v Speaker 2>A listers, but man, it's a great lineup. I'm just

274
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.639
<v Speaker 2>looking at I'm going day by day here, and each

275
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 2>day there's like Charles Wesley Godwin is there on Friday.

276
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how big he is, like mainstream, but

277
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:42.759
<v Speaker 2>like I really like him, and I know he has

278
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.440
<v Speaker 2>a big following. Dave Matthew's band on Friday is going

279
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:47.240
<v Speaker 2>to I mean that alone is a huge deal. I

280
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.080
<v Speaker 2>mean they have their own cult following. They do not

281
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean there, have you ever been to Dave Matthews show.

282
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:52.879
<v Speaker 3>I haven't, but I'd love to go to one if

283
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:54.600
<v Speaker 3>I happen to Snags and Passes for Friday.

284
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know people who don't like identify as like

285
00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:59.120
<v Speaker 2>super fans.

286
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.399
<v Speaker 3>I have like a funny like nickname for their fan base,

287
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 3>like Davies or something.

288
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:06.440
<v Speaker 2>They remind I feel like they're kind of like Parroheads,

289
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:07.919
<v Speaker 2>but I know they don't call them that. That's the

290
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:09.879
<v Speaker 2>people who would go to the Jimmy Buffett concerts. I

291
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:12.879
<v Speaker 2>don't know if the Dave Matthews super fans that go

292
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:14.639
<v Speaker 2>to many shows have a name for themselves like the

293
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:18.039
<v Speaker 2>parroedheads do. But I know people who don't like identify

294
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:19.960
<v Speaker 2>as super fans that have gone to a couple of

295
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.039
<v Speaker 2>shows that say like, you gotta go, like it's such

296
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.320
<v Speaker 2>a good time. So clearly they do. They do a

297
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:31.279
<v Speaker 2>pretty good job. Sunday. Tyler Childers me, my morning jacket.

298
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Sunday looks to be and maybe this is just the

299
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 2>norm when it comes to music festivals, I'd say, outside

300
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.559
<v Speaker 2>of him, know what do I know? It's all it's

301
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:40.279
<v Speaker 2>all a matter of preference and who you really. You know,

302
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.720
<v Speaker 2>everybody's got their own taste and artists they do like

303
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.559
<v Speaker 2>and don't like. But Sunday seems to be the lightest

304
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:47.960
<v Speaker 2>day as far as big names other than Tyler Childers

305
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.080
<v Speaker 2>of course. And then Thursday's Sting. That's huge, right, I

306
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:53.720
<v Speaker 2>mean and Sting twenty wall.

307
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:57.519
<v Speaker 3>Flowers, Neil Young or whatever the guy's name is. Always

308
00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.799
<v Speaker 3>get Neil Young and Vince Young or Vince Neil and

309
00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:01.519
<v Speaker 3>the stuff, and they're two totally different people.

310
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, somebody had backed out, and was it Sting that

311
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:04.039
<v Speaker 2>did replace him?

312
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

313
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, no offense to the person who had

314
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.320
<v Speaker 2>to back out, whose name I'm also forgetting that you know,

315
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.120
<v Speaker 2>had some health issues. But like, I think we kind

316
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.600
<v Speaker 2>of upgraded, didn't we See we got the police, right,

317
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Sting's is a pretty big name. So again,

318
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 2>good vibes here in Louisville as the Cards are set

319
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.440
<v Speaker 2>for their first conference matchup, a chance to you know,

320
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of see where they stand a test. I assume

321
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.320
<v Speaker 2>that they'll pass, but just knowing that it is going

322
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to be a much bigger test than the first two opponents,

323
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.399
<v Speaker 2>it's exciting to me. And we also have one of

324
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:34.159
<v Speaker 2>the biggest music festivals, you know, seemingly out there that's

325
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.600
<v Speaker 2>going to be in town, which is exciting. All right.

326
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:40.879
<v Speaker 2>If you're a Kentucky fan, are you excited about the

327
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:45.720
<v Speaker 2>rest of your season? I asked that sincerely because if

328
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:47.919
<v Speaker 2>I was you, which I can't put myself in your

329
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:49.559
<v Speaker 2>shoes because you know I'm not a Kentucky fan. But

330
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I think if I was a Kentucky fan that watched

331
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:57.159
<v Speaker 2>the last two weeks of my team, with the embarrassing,

332
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.559
<v Speaker 2>pathetic loss to South Carolina and and then you come

333
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.159
<v Speaker 2>out and give yourself a chance to beat the number

334
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:06.960
<v Speaker 2>one team in the country, Georgia, I'd be confused with

335
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.639
<v Speaker 2>how to feel and knowing what I should and having

336
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.360
<v Speaker 2>any idea of what to expect. You know, I I

337
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.480
<v Speaker 2>give them credit. Again, they didn't do anything for him.

338
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure me giving them credit doesn't make Saturday feel

339
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 2>any better if you're a Kentucky fan. But I do

340
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.080
<v Speaker 2>want you to know I'm being sincere when I say it,

341
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.639
<v Speaker 2>because the atmosphere in Lexington on Friday or Saturday night

342
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:27.559
<v Speaker 2>looked insane and they played well. I mean, they came

343
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.360
<v Speaker 2>out they look to be as physical, as tough, as

344
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.360
<v Speaker 2>aggress I mean they were. Again, we all know that

345
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Georgia is the best team in the country. We all

346
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.639
<v Speaker 2>know that they're riding and insane streak of just beating

347
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.120
<v Speaker 2>the hell out of it or beating everybody, and then

348
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:43.600
<v Speaker 2>the only team that's beat him in the last couple

349
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.720
<v Speaker 2>of years is Alabama. Like Kirby Smart and Georgia, they

350
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.399
<v Speaker 2>are on top right now, and I feel like if

351
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:51.039
<v Speaker 2>they run through this season and win the whole thing,

352
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:53.759
<v Speaker 2>we'll actually look back at the playoff snub of last

353
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:56.279
<v Speaker 2>year and not talk about Florida State. We'll talk about

354
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:57.840
<v Speaker 2>how the hell did we live Georgie out. All they

355
00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:59.840
<v Speaker 2>did was lose to Nick Saban and his last days

356
00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:03.039
<v Speaker 2>the championship game, right Like, so we all know George

357
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.879
<v Speaker 2>is great, But I'm just saying if you could just,

358
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, use the whatever that thing is that Will

359
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:11.759
<v Speaker 2>Smith has and Men in Black where you can just

360
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:14.759
<v Speaker 2>like block out your memory. If you just watch those

361
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.399
<v Speaker 2>two teams play, knowing nothing about their expectation level this year,

362
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.639
<v Speaker 2>knowing the history of the programs, and you just watched

363
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 2>what you saw between the lines, you would say that

364
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:27.919
<v Speaker 2>those are very comparable teams. And that's a credit to

365
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Mark Stoops for having his guys ready whenever the noise

366
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:32.320
<v Speaker 2>was as loud as it's ever been. As far as

367
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:34.960
<v Speaker 2>him maybe not being the guy that should be the

368
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.240
<v Speaker 2>coach their long term, nobody was saying he needs to

369
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:39.159
<v Speaker 2>be fired. At least I didn't hear that, and if

370
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:40.919
<v Speaker 2>anybody did, it was probably just getting caught up in

371
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.720
<v Speaker 2>the emotion that came with an embarrassing loss to South Carolina.

372
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.919
<v Speaker 2>But I'm telling you, last week, I feel like it

373
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.960
<v Speaker 2>was as down as I've heard their fan base about

374
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:51.879
<v Speaker 2>football and their coach. And yet he had them ready

375
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:53.200
<v Speaker 2>to play and they, you know, I don't know if

376
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.159
<v Speaker 2>I can say they should have won, but they clearly,

377
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:58.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're right there with a chance to, you know,

378
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:01.000
<v Speaker 2>to potentially pull off the biggest upset of the season

379
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:05.599
<v Speaker 2>thus far, and they didn't do that. And who knows, right,

380
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.599
<v Speaker 2>if he goes forward on fourth and eight, maybe they

381
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:13.240
<v Speaker 2>throw a pick six, Right, We'll never know. But fourth

382
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:17.519
<v Speaker 2>and eight, midfield, down one to Georgia, three minutes left

383
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:21.279
<v Speaker 2>on the clock. Your kicker's already got some momentum established.

384
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.880
<v Speaker 2>He probably just needs a first down to be in

385
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:27.079
<v Speaker 2>position to give, you know, to give him a go

386
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:30.640
<v Speaker 2>ahead field goal. And yet Stoops punted it away. And

387
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.079
<v Speaker 2>then when he did get the ball back, there was

388
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.079
<v Speaker 2>nine seconds left on the clock and he was on

389
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:36.559
<v Speaker 2>his own twenty five. It was not even having the

390
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Stones to take that chance essentially was choosing not to lose.

391
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.240
<v Speaker 2>But you'd have a hard time selling that you're trying

392
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.759
<v Speaker 2>to win with that with that mindset, and I know

393
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.960
<v Speaker 2>there's some that say, well, I mean, do you really

394
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.640
<v Speaker 2>think Kentucky would have been able to get it on

395
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.079
<v Speaker 2>fourth and eight? Do you really think that you know

396
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.440
<v Speaker 2>their defense that they shouldn't have trusted their defense to

397
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:00.440
<v Speaker 2>get a stop? Like all that's true, you have to

398
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.319
<v Speaker 2>consider all like best case scenario, worst case scenario for

399
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.960
<v Speaker 2>both for both sides here, what was the best case

400
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.319
<v Speaker 2>scenario for you by punning it away? That you would

401
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:13.400
<v Speaker 2>get the ball back, but you'd be further away, like

402
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.880
<v Speaker 2>if you got a three and out, they're punning it

403
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.079
<v Speaker 2>and you may not even get back to midfield where

404
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.160
<v Speaker 2>you were in the first place. And you've got them

405
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.880
<v Speaker 2>on the ropes. I mean, maybe try to maybe try

406
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.920
<v Speaker 2>to get them to jump off sides. Maybe heck, you

407
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.400
<v Speaker 2>could get bailed out by a pass interference call, just

408
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.880
<v Speaker 2>like the Bengals bailed the Chiefs out yesterday. So it's

409
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:40.240
<v Speaker 2>not like a crazy decision. But I would love to

410
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:43.119
<v Speaker 2>know anonymously, Like if you asked every coach if they're

411
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.039
<v Speaker 2>in that situation, and they are Kentucky and they know

412
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:48.920
<v Speaker 2>they're playing Georgia, because that matters to here. You know,

413
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.519
<v Speaker 2>you got nothing to lose, You're not supposed to win,

414
00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:52.279
<v Speaker 2>You're not expected to win. You know that. More often

415
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.319
<v Speaker 2>than not, if they get the ball back, they're likely

416
00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:55.480
<v Speaker 2>going to do what needs to be done to win

417
00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.119
<v Speaker 2>the game, which is what they did. I'm just curious

418
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:01.960
<v Speaker 2>if other coaches, if coaches in college football, view the

419
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.599
<v Speaker 2>decision from Stoops the way that seemingly everybody else does.

420
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.640
<v Speaker 2>It Just to me seemed like a guy that was

421
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 2>being as conservative as ever. And to go back to

422
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:14.759
<v Speaker 2>what I said earlier when we discussed his decision to

423
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:16.400
<v Speaker 2>punt it away and not go for it on fourth

424
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.519
<v Speaker 2>and eight, Stoops is known as a really conservative guy.

425
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.839
<v Speaker 2>People know that he gets completely aroused by winning games

426
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.119
<v Speaker 2>three to six. But if he did decide to go

427
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:29.079
<v Speaker 2>forward on fourth and eight in that scenario three minutes

428
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.680
<v Speaker 2>left down one did Georgia at midfield in the fourth quarter,

429
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.720
<v Speaker 2>it wouldn't have been like, oh my god, Mark Stoops,

430
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:40.599
<v Speaker 2>how about this? He let his hair down. This guy,

431
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:42.799
<v Speaker 2>he's a he got a divorce. Now he's out there

432
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:45.039
<v Speaker 2>living life like a wild son of a you know

433
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:46.599
<v Speaker 2>what going forward on. I don't know why I bring

434
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:49.599
<v Speaker 2>up a divorce, but like you know, he's a single man.

435
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:51.519
<v Speaker 2>It's a pretty well known thing in Lexington, you know,

436
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:53.880
<v Speaker 2>so I probably shouldn't have mentioned that, but like you know,

437
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to It would not have been viewed

438
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.599
<v Speaker 2>as like, Wow, this guy's really he's really, he's really

439
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:01.400
<v Speaker 2>changed his app roach. I think it would have been

440
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 2>looked at as well, Yeah, you're down one. Did Georgia

441
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:06.519
<v Speaker 2>at midfield in the fourth quarter with three minutes left?

442
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Of course you're gonna go for it on fourth and eight,

443
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 2>but he decided not to do that. All right, One

444
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.799
<v Speaker 2>thing before we move on from Kentucky and I, do

445
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:14.119
<v Speaker 2>you want to talk some more about the NFL on

446
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:17.680
<v Speaker 2>the other side here? Have you seen the play that

447
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:20.519
<v Speaker 2>was the pick six that got called back? I don't

448
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:24.720
<v Speaker 2>think I have. Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna send it

449
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:28.920
<v Speaker 2>to you because if I was a Louisville fan, I'm

450
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:31.160
<v Speaker 2>trying to give them the benefit of the doubt after

451
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:35.480
<v Speaker 2>a really tough loss. Meaning would I would I be

452
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:38.400
<v Speaker 2>would I be so sour grapes about a call to

453
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.680
<v Speaker 2>where I wouldn't just use my brain and realize that

454
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:44.960
<v Speaker 2>like that, there's no scenario that should have been a

455
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:50.240
<v Speaker 2>pick six because they had a receiver for Georgia who

456
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:54.039
<v Speaker 2>seemingly caught the ball and then went to the ground,

457
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:56.920
<v Speaker 2>and then the ball bounced up in the air and

458
00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.640
<v Speaker 2>one of Kentucky's one of Kentucky's guys took it the

459
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.079
<v Speaker 2>other one and it was a pick six. On the field,

460
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:06.359
<v Speaker 2>it was called a touchdown. They reviewed it, and I mean,

461
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:09.319
<v Speaker 2>there's no scenario like this is one of two things

462
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.440
<v Speaker 2>because again you've got people saying I'm not saying they

463
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:13.960
<v Speaker 2>got the call wrong, but I know that if that

464
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:16.720
<v Speaker 2>was any other team they would have let that call stand.

465
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:20.039
<v Speaker 2>Why and how? I mean again, that's why I'm trying

466
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:21.759
<v Speaker 2>to like put myself in your shoes and say, Okay,

467
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:24.559
<v Speaker 2>maybe I would have sour grapes because losing in like

468
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:26.960
<v Speaker 2>losing a game like this in that fashion, knowing how

469
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:29.119
<v Speaker 2>big that play would have been at that stood, maybe

470
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I would have the mindset of, oh, they just they're

471
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:34.519
<v Speaker 2>out to get us. Because it's one of two things here.

472
00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Either it's an incomplete pass because the ball hit the ground,

473
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:40.839
<v Speaker 2>which is what they ruled in, which is likely the

474
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:42.519
<v Speaker 2>correct call. I don't. I mean I thought that's what

475
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:46.160
<v Speaker 2>they would call, and that's what they did. Or the

476
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:49.039
<v Speaker 2>ground calls the fumble, which can't be a fumble. Therefore

477
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:52.359
<v Speaker 2>he's just down because the ball hit the ground like

478
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:54.200
<v Speaker 2>a like there's no scenario that would have counted in

479
00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:56.960
<v Speaker 2>any way unless the reps didn't have the ability to

480
00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:58.920
<v Speaker 2>go back and look at it, which they did, and

481
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:01.279
<v Speaker 2>it was again one to two. They had two options

482
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:03.960
<v Speaker 2>to essentially binge over and screw you. If you're Kentucky.

483
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:05.759
<v Speaker 2>The way you see it again, you're not getting screwed.

484
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 2>It's the correct call. It's one of two things. Either

485
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:10.359
<v Speaker 2>it's the correct call, which is what they did after

486
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.480
<v Speaker 2>the fact, ruling that the ball hit the ground there

487
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:15.079
<v Speaker 2>for it's an incomplete pass. Or he caught it and

488
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.440
<v Speaker 2>the ball hit the ground, therefore it can't be The

489
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:21.400
<v Speaker 2>ground can't cause a fumble. So did you just see

490
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:22.039
<v Speaker 2>it for the first time?

491
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:24.079
<v Speaker 3>No, actually I had seen that before, but it is

492
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:27.279
<v Speaker 3>I see what you're talking about. I don't think if

493
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:29.359
<v Speaker 3>I was. And again, it's really tough to put yourself

494
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.079
<v Speaker 3>in the other team's position because obviously we don't have

495
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:34.640
<v Speaker 3>the emotional attachment to you.

496
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Because that's what it all is, is the gut punch

497
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:37.440
<v Speaker 2>of the emotional loss.

498
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.160
<v Speaker 3>But I do think, I mean, there's no way that

499
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:41.480
<v Speaker 3>this is actually a pick sick.

500
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:43.359
<v Speaker 2>And I'll give Matt credit on KSR. You know, he said,

501
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:44.559
<v Speaker 2>as much as I want to agree with all the

502
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:48.640
<v Speaker 2>fans like that was the right call, it just sucks

503
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.720
<v Speaker 2>to know that, Like, you know, maybe they like because

504
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:52.920
<v Speaker 2>I was watching two games this week and I can't

505
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:54.920
<v Speaker 2>think of which one it was in the NFL, but

506
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:58.839
<v Speaker 2>in college, heck, it might have been. It might have

507
00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:01.000
<v Speaker 2>been that Georgia game when whenever they called roughing the

508
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:04.519
<v Speaker 2>passer on Georgia, which they shouldn't have. But like there

509
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:07.119
<v Speaker 2>are now times and I'm not complaining, but there have

510
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:08.799
<v Speaker 2>been a couple of questionable calls that you would just

511
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:10.920
<v Speaker 2>expect them to go review, and sure enough, they never do.

512
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:13.359
<v Speaker 2>And once the ball snapped the next play, you can't

513
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:14.200
<v Speaker 2>go back and look at it.

514
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:14.839
<v Speaker 1>All.

515
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Right, quick break, we'll come back on the other side,

516
00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:19.079
<v Speaker 2>talk a little more about the NFL. We haven't completely

517
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.359
<v Speaker 2>wrapped up Week two yet, but we already got one

518
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:25.279
<v Speaker 2>quarterback who's been benched. The Bengals once again start zero

519
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.920
<v Speaker 2>to two, Niggay. There's something going on with Jamar Chase Man.

520
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know he wants to be paid, but

521
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:35.160
<v Speaker 2>like he really cost his team in a major way yesterday.

522
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:38.920
<v Speaker 2>And something nobody's talking about, at least not that I'm

523
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:40.839
<v Speaker 2>hearing that I think is a really good story. And

524
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:43.720
<v Speaker 2>that's these dudes playing quarterback in the NFL that seemingly

525
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:45.799
<v Speaker 2>everybody wrote them off as if they were done, they

526
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.680
<v Speaker 2>were busts, and now they're thriving, and you know, I mean,

527
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that should get more attention. That's a

528
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:52.519
<v Speaker 2>good story, is it not? Stick around? It's coffee and

529
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:54.279
<v Speaker 2>company where feel But Thorton's right here on Sports Talk

530
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety. I get why people claim Will Smith is

531
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:03.480
<v Speaker 2>one of the corniest like rappers to achieve some big

532
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:06.519
<v Speaker 2>time mainstream success. But like, I'd be a liar if

533
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:08.759
<v Speaker 2>I said I wasn't loving Will Smith when he was

534
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:11.359
<v Speaker 2>doing his damn thing in the nineties. Well, Will Smith

535
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:13.640
<v Speaker 2>had a had a great run in there in the nineties,

536
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Wild Wild West, you know, Men in Black. Yeah, super

537
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:22.279
<v Speaker 2>talented guy, and he's been in stuff recently. And I

538
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:24.440
<v Speaker 2>only know this because I was talking to somebody not

539
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:27.359
<v Speaker 2>that long ago. Is like other than him slapping Chris

540
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Rocket that Award show. Like, I don't really feel like

541
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:31.480
<v Speaker 2>he's been in anything, but he has. I just haven't.

542
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:34.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, in the days of streaming, and you know,

543
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:38.079
<v Speaker 2>you're not necessarily promoting something to box office as much.

544
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:42.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, the promotion that you see for movies that

545
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>are exclusively on a Netflix or an Apple TV or

546
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.160
<v Speaker 2>a Hulu, because there's some really good movies that now

547
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:49.960
<v Speaker 2>just you know, maybe they do end up in theaters

548
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:51.839
<v Speaker 2>or you know, maybe they maybe they just go straight

549
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:54.200
<v Speaker 2>to the to the streaming. And when I say straight

550
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.079
<v Speaker 2>to streaming, I mean it's not an insult. It's just

551
00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:59.000
<v Speaker 2>this is a production that that Netflix is, this is

552
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:03.200
<v Speaker 2>an exclusive, so they promote it within their own platform

553
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:05.160
<v Speaker 2>and then occasionally you'll see, like I guess, an ad

554
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:08.519
<v Speaker 2>or a commercial for it. But like when movies used

555
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:13.279
<v Speaker 2>to be really really hyped, it would be endless commercials

556
00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:16.440
<v Speaker 2>meaning previews and stuff and like all and I'm sure

557
00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:18.200
<v Speaker 2>they still do that to an extent. It's just you know,

558
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:19.119
<v Speaker 2>things have changed now.

559
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:21.519
<v Speaker 3>It's usually YouTube ads. I feel like we see the most,

560
00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:22.480
<v Speaker 3>like movie trailers.

561
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:25.559
<v Speaker 2>You're absolutely right, and like I guess a way to

562
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:27.599
<v Speaker 2>view it. In a positive way. Is like I'll occasionally

563
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:31.079
<v Speaker 2>end up finding a movie on Apple TV or Netflix

564
00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:33.759
<v Speaker 2>that has like a ton of really famous people in it,

565
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:35.279
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, man, this is great. I didn't even

566
00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:37.480
<v Speaker 2>know this movie existed, but man, this was awesome. Like

567
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I would have gone and seen this in theaters like

568
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:41.680
<v Speaker 2>this is how good it was. So something about you know,

569
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.279
<v Speaker 2>randomly finding something among the millions of things that you

570
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:47.880
<v Speaker 2>can seemingly find a watch on all the different streaming

571
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:51.400
<v Speaker 2>platforms out there. When you find one like unexpectedly, that's great.

572
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:54.359
<v Speaker 2>It's it's awesome. So anyway, shout out to Will Smith,

573
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:56.359
<v Speaker 2>and shout out to John the company man who's been

574
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:59.000
<v Speaker 2>able to come through for us throughout the show. Here

575
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:02.480
<v Speaker 2>we've been asking. I've asked him give me songs throughout

576
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:05.319
<v Speaker 2>the show that have something about a test being tested

577
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:07.759
<v Speaker 2>in some form or fashion, because you know, Lowell is

578
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:09.519
<v Speaker 2>going to be tested for the first time on Saturday,

579
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:11.920
<v Speaker 2>and I can't wait to see what happens, not because

580
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:13.880
<v Speaker 2>like I need them to prove something to me. I

581
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.279
<v Speaker 2>still think they're good. I think they could play not

582
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:18.119
<v Speaker 2>a great game and still win because I think they're

583
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.039
<v Speaker 2>better than Georgia Tech but you know it's a big difference.

584
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Then it's a big difference in a big step up

585
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:27.400
<v Speaker 2>from Jacksonville State and Austin p And unfortunately that actually

586
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:29.599
<v Speaker 2>says more about those two teams than it does Georgia Tech.

587
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:31.920
<v Speaker 2>And for being honest, right, it's coffee and company. We

588
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:34.319
<v Speaker 2>are feel about Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven

589
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:38.279
<v Speaker 2>to ninety. So the big news thus far in the

590
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:41.400
<v Speaker 2>NFL in the early season, I mean, I think the

591
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:43.559
<v Speaker 2>fact that he's a number one overall pick and he's

592
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:47.440
<v Speaker 2>now been benched after two games, I'd say the Panthers

593
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:51.200
<v Speaker 2>benching Bryce Young is the biggest story thus far in

594
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the NFL season. But it kind of feels like, as

595
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:56.680
<v Speaker 2>I say it, I'm not really sure I believe what's

596
00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:58.440
<v Speaker 2>coming out of my mouth because we're talking about the

597
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Panthers and like they're not relevant enough to where I

598
00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:03.839
<v Speaker 2>feel like anything they would do can be viewed as

599
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:07.640
<v Speaker 2>a big time, you know, surprise, like a big piece

600
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:09.319
<v Speaker 2>of news, although it is. I mean, you're talking about

601
00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:12.480
<v Speaker 2>a guy who was the number one pick in the

602
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:17.799
<v Speaker 2>draft last year and has now just what let's see here,

603
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:21.680
<v Speaker 2>he's eighteen games into his career, eighteen starts. He's now

604
00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:25.839
<v Speaker 2>been he's been benched, and good luck you know, to uh,

605
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:28.200
<v Speaker 2>good luck to his coach who I'm not even sure

606
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:30.759
<v Speaker 2>who the coach of the Panthers is. Nobody believes you, bro,

607
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:35.759
<v Speaker 2>Like you said yesterday after the game that you were

608
00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:39.039
<v Speaker 2>quite sure and confident and he really wasn't even a debate.

609
00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:42.279
<v Speaker 2>You said, no, he's our quarterback, he's our guy, and

610
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, and now the next day you're saying you're

611
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 2>going with Andy Dalton. I mean, what I'm getting at

612
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:50.759
<v Speaker 2>is he was clearly influenced to make that change, and

613
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:54.799
<v Speaker 2>it's unfortunate for Bryce Young and if he wants to,

614
00:27:55.240 --> 00:28:03.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, he wants to consider this motivation and embrace it, right, say, Okay, Yeah,

615
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:05.519
<v Speaker 2>I got to sit back and learn and watch and

616
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:08.039
<v Speaker 2>really put myself in a better position to where when

617
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:10.519
<v Speaker 2>I do get another opportunity, If I get another opportunity,

618
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:13.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm more prepared because I've not been getting the job done.

619
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Know what that said. I don't watch enough of the

620
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Panthers to know if this is more of a hymn

621
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:19.240
<v Speaker 2>issue or more of just the organization. I'd send to

622
00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:21.200
<v Speaker 2>think it's more of an organization thing, because you know,

623
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:24.319
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about the Panthers here, but I feel like

624
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:26.480
<v Speaker 2>for a good stretch there, if you were a first

625
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:30.440
<v Speaker 2>round pick at quarterback and you failed with your first team,

626
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.759
<v Speaker 2>and usually the determination of pass and fail isn't available

627
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:36.960
<v Speaker 2>this early on. This guy started eighteen games and he's

628
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:40.160
<v Speaker 2>in his second season and he's already been benched by

629
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:43.119
<v Speaker 2>the Panthers, So you know, maybe he ends up getting

630
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:45.319
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity if Andy Dalton sucks, they just decide to

631
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.599
<v Speaker 2>go back to him. I don't know, but I think

632
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:53.720
<v Speaker 2>seeing what's happening with Baker Mayfield, who has really resurrected

633
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.759
<v Speaker 2>his career and looks like not one of the best

634
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.400
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks in the league, but I mean he ended up

635
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.119
<v Speaker 2>winning a playoff game with the Buccaneers, took advantage of

636
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:05.480
<v Speaker 2>that opportunity, and they look like a team that this

637
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:08.559
<v Speaker 2>year could be pretty damn good. And if they are,

638
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:10.559
<v Speaker 2>it won't be because they've got the best quarterback in

639
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:12.559
<v Speaker 2>the league. But this is a guy who is just

640
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:15.160
<v Speaker 2>a gamer. And I always got a lot of heat

641
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:17.839
<v Speaker 2>when I talked about this because I Lamar Jackson and

642
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Baker Mayfield were competing for that Heisman Trophy in twenty

643
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:23.079
<v Speaker 2>seventeen and no matter what, if Baker Mayfield didn't exist,

644
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:24.839
<v Speaker 2>Lamar wasn't going to win it back to back. They're

645
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:27.000
<v Speaker 2>never They just I don't think it's possible, honestly, for

646
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:28.920
<v Speaker 2>somebody to win the Heisman Trophy twice. I just don't.

647
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:33.240
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, Baker kind of an easy guy to dislike.

648
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, he did some stuff at Oklahoma that wasn't crazy,

649
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:39.480
<v Speaker 2>but obviously you know, got arrested, ran from the cops.

650
00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:42.599
<v Speaker 2>Plays with a lot of confidence swagger. Therefore, I think

651
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:44.079
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people think he's a jerk, and maybe

652
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:46.160
<v Speaker 2>he is a jerk, but I'm telling you, man, this

653
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:50.440
<v Speaker 2>guy's story I've always admired it because I've never seen

654
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:54.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody have this many sort of layers to their story

655
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:58.559
<v Speaker 2>and their career where they bet on themselves and it

656
00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:02.839
<v Speaker 2>worked out. They had the internal belief that I think

657
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people wouldn't have, and he does and

658
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:09.119
<v Speaker 2>it's shown. I mean, this is a guy out of

659
00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:13.119
<v Speaker 2>high school, goes to Texas Tech where Cliff Kingsbury's the coach,

660
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:17.519
<v Speaker 2>and he walks on. It's a walk on at Texas Tech,

661
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:21.240
<v Speaker 2>and he ended up being their starting quarterback. He's, to

662
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:25.079
<v Speaker 2>my knowledge. He is still the only true freshman walk

663
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:29.200
<v Speaker 2>on quarterback to start for a power for power five program,

664
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.960
<v Speaker 2>and he did pretty good there at Texas Tech. Right,

665
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:34.599
<v Speaker 2>it looked like, hey, they really lucked out. This kid

666
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:36.279
<v Speaker 2>walked on. Let's put him on scholarship. He's going to

667
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:40.039
<v Speaker 2>be our guy. Well because he wasn't you know, I

668
00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:44.359
<v Speaker 2>guess that flashy. He's not that big, good player, but

669
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:45.680
<v Speaker 2>doesn't you know it didn't have a doesn't have the

670
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:51.319
<v Speaker 2>strongest arm, not the best athlete. You know, I think

671
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Cliff Kingsbury wanted a guy that he felt like was

672
00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:59.599
<v Speaker 2>more of a Kyler Murray who he coached at at Oklahoma,

673
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:06.079
<v Speaker 2>or maybe even a who else did he have? I

674
00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:09.119
<v Speaker 2>feel like there's another quarterback that Kingsbury coached, Oh, Patrick

675
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes was there with him at Texas Tech. So you know,

676
00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:19.759
<v Speaker 2>because of all that, I think, you know, he just decided, well, no,

677
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:21.759
<v Speaker 2>we'll keep Baker, but you know, he's not the starter.

678
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:23.119
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna have to act like we're gonna have a

679
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:25.039
<v Speaker 2>new competition, which really isn't a crazy thing for a

680
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:27.880
<v Speaker 2>coach to say, but Baker, you know, felt some type

681
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:30.079
<v Speaker 2>of way about that because he felt like, hey, I've

682
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:32.160
<v Speaker 2>shown I should be our starting quarterback. So what does

683
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:34.799
<v Speaker 2>he do? He leaves Texas Tech, he goes and walks

684
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:39.279
<v Speaker 2>on at Oklahoma, where they don't have an open job.

685
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:43.200
<v Speaker 2>They have Trevor Knight, who was coming off a season

686
00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:46.519
<v Speaker 2>where he led Oklahoma to a Sugar Bowl victory against

687
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Alabama and Nick Saban Baker. Mayfield walks on there and says, no,

688
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.799
<v Speaker 2>I'll win the job, tells Bob stops, Now, I know,

689
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:54.960
<v Speaker 2>I get it. You got a guy you know, have

690
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:57.559
<v Speaker 2>a scholarship. I'll walk on. And he wins the job

691
00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:00.680
<v Speaker 2>and puts together a phenomenal crew at Oklahoma, goes to

692
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:04.119
<v Speaker 2>the playoff what twice? When's a Heisman Trophy in twenty seventeen.

693
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Then he becomes the first overall pick with the Browns,

694
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:12.279
<v Speaker 2>and they bailed on him too early. I think they

695
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:16.279
<v Speaker 2>listened to a diva wide receiver, Odell Buckham Junior, who

696
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:18.200
<v Speaker 2>wanted to make it out that Baker was the problem.

697
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:22.519
<v Speaker 2>And diva wide receivers have been getting their way for

698
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:25.119
<v Speaker 2>a long time. But I'm curious if what will eventually

699
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:27.680
<v Speaker 2>see a scenario to where you know good For example,

700
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.119
<v Speaker 2>you think Josh Allen misses Stefon Diggs. Hell, no, he

701
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:34.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't have to worry about a receiver pouting about his targets.

702
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:36.119
<v Speaker 2>He can just go out there and play and utilized

703
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:38.880
<v Speaker 2>the weapons he has and they're gonna be fine. So anyways,

704
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:43.799
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland gives up on him, and this is where I

705
00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:46.160
<v Speaker 2>mean again, I don't know if they're gonna make a

706
00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:48.880
<v Speaker 2>movie about Baker's life his career, but I feel like

707
00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:51.839
<v Speaker 2>it's at this point. If he ended his career tomorrow

708
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:54.240
<v Speaker 2>and retired, it's a story that I think would make

709
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:57.960
<v Speaker 2>for a good movie because after the Browns, you know,

710
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:00.640
<v Speaker 2>let him go, he ends up with the with the Rams,

711
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:06.920
<v Speaker 2>and to get snabs, he did, like Scout Mock defensive

712
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:09.920
<v Speaker 2>back for the Rams at one point where he's just

713
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:12.720
<v Speaker 2>out there kind of like taking up space in practice

714
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:15.359
<v Speaker 2>because he clearly is not on the depth chart and

715
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:16.799
<v Speaker 2>a guy that they're gonna, you know that they want

716
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:19.119
<v Speaker 2>to play quarterback unless they have to. So he got

717
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:21.039
<v Speaker 2>a chance when Stafford got hurt, but like the Rams

718
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:23.839
<v Speaker 2>didn't didn't see value in him, and by the way

719
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:28.680
<v Speaker 2>the Rams took him after Baker, Mayfield ended up being

720
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:31.880
<v Speaker 2>traded to the Panthers and they gave up on him.

721
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:34.400
<v Speaker 2>So this is a guy who is a number one

722
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.279
<v Speaker 2>overall pick ends up going to two other teams that

723
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:39.440
<v Speaker 2>both decided, yeah, we don't need him, we don't want him,

724
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:42.599
<v Speaker 2>He's not worthy of being our quarterback. That's the Panthers

725
00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:45.000
<v Speaker 2>in the Rams, and now the Buccaneers give him a chance.

726
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:48.160
<v Speaker 2>He goes down there, wins the job and takes him

727
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:50.160
<v Speaker 2>to the playoffs, wins a playoff game last year, and

728
00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:53.720
<v Speaker 2>now he's in position to, you know, probably go back

729
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:56.319
<v Speaker 2>to the playoffs if they can take care of business. So,

730
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:58.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, I just I can't say like I'm a

731
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:00.359
<v Speaker 2>big Baker fan, but I'm a fan of his story,

732
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.119
<v Speaker 2>and I love a guy who will bet on himself.

733
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:04.240
<v Speaker 2>And you can just tell when he plays, when he

734
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.240
<v Speaker 2>leads that huddle, that guy's got a lot of belief

735
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:10.159
<v Speaker 2>in his abilities. And sometimes I think that can be

736
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:13.079
<v Speaker 2>expressed with arrogance. And maybe that was how it came

737
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:15.360
<v Speaker 2>off to a lot of people during his earlier years,

738
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:16.880
<v Speaker 2>because I get it, he seemed like a pretty easy

739
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:19.159
<v Speaker 2>guy to dislike. But I still think his story is

740
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:23.400
<v Speaker 2>really really respectable. But he's not the only guy. I mean,

741
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:25.920
<v Speaker 2>look at Sam Darnold doing the damn thing with the Vikings.

742
00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:27.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean they're not great, but like he doesn't look

743
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:31.400
<v Speaker 2>like he's a problem for them. I mean Geno Smith

744
00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:33.800
<v Speaker 2>last year, what a story for him getting a chance

745
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:36.599
<v Speaker 2>with the Seahawks, and you know, clearly he's a guy

746
00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:39.199
<v Speaker 2>that you can win with. Now, these guys aren't in

747
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:42.039
<v Speaker 2>that top tier quarterbacks, right, They're not up there with

748
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:46.000
<v Speaker 2>the Mahomes and the Allen and the Lamar. But you

749
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:48.440
<v Speaker 2>can win with these guys. And there's a lot of

750
00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:51.000
<v Speaker 2>guys that get started. There's guys every Sunday that are

751
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:52.920
<v Speaker 2>going to start at quarterback that you know deep down

752
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:55.119
<v Speaker 2>you might win here and there, but like you're not

753
00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:57.960
<v Speaker 2>winning because of them. So I don't know. I just

754
00:34:57.960 --> 00:34:59.199
<v Speaker 2>think it's cool. And then, by the way, how about

755
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:05.119
<v Speaker 2>this Anthers have benched their first overall pick after two

756
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:09.960
<v Speaker 2>games into his second season, and they had Sam Darnold

757
00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:15.159
<v Speaker 2>in Baker Mayfield on the same team just two years ago.

758
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Think about that, Well, let those guys walk, and now

759
00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:21.360
<v Speaker 2>they're going with Andy Dalton because the guy they invested

760
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:23.599
<v Speaker 2>in they don't think is good enough to play right now.

761
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:29.360
<v Speaker 2>And since those guys left their previous spots, like since

762
00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:34.559
<v Speaker 2>Baker left Carolina and Donald left Carolina forty six touchdowns

763
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:36.719
<v Speaker 2>and fourteen interceptions for those two guys. Not to mention,

764
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland gave all that money to DeShawn when they moved

765
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:44.599
<v Speaker 2>on from Baker and look at that mess. All right,

766
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:45.880
<v Speaker 2>let's get to our last break. We'll come back on

767
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:47.840
<v Speaker 2>the other side. Wrap this thing up. It's Coffee and Company.

768
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:49.639
<v Speaker 2>We are feel about Thornton's right here on Sports Talk

769
00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:54.639
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety. We were wrapping up a Monday edition of

785
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:38.239

786
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:39.760
<v Speaker 2>it's an emergency. But if you ever do have an
