I really 13 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.159 thought it was going to be a close game, and 14 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.480 just the difference of Alexanderloon was the difference in the 15 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:14.359 red zone defense. 16 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.560 That's all I got to say.

It's an exciting time 31 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:16.680 right now, right Oh yeah, okay, Well, let's start with 32 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.680 our first topic. Let's since the game is going on 33 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.919 right now, let's talk about it. It's halftime. It is 34 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:28.759 Penn State ten, Notre Dame three. Any thoughts about the 35 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.800 game so far and predictions for who's gonna take it 36 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:33.960 at the end of the game. 37 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:40.000 If it continues like this, it'll be Penn State. The 38 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.479 running back for Notre Dame that's been so good all 39 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.520 year just can't seem to get. 40 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:52.400 Going, Okay, anybody and the other thoughts, guys. 41 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.919 Well, you know I always say this, there's always two 42 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.000 halfs to every game, and you know, now we have 43 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.120 the second half coming up. I'm sure Notre Dame's going 44 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.520 to make some adjustments. I want Notre Dame to win 45 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.639 this game. Not that I don't like Penn State. I'm 46 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.199 just I'm just thinking that Notre Dame has a better 47 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.120 football team, but Penn State can surprise you. And now 48 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.680 maybe everybody up in State College are and what they 49 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.879 call Happy Valley will not be Unhappy Valley if James 50 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.879 Franklin can move on here and maybe win a championship. 51 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.520 Pensman, any thoughts. 52 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.000 Like I said, it's second half, you'd ever know what 53 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:35.599 Notre Dames got up their sleeve. 54 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.639 Let's face it, the first half has really been a 55 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.479 defensive battle because totally yards for Notre Dame is one 56 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.080 hundred and twenty two, fifteen yards rushing, one hundred and 57 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.639 seven passing, Penn State's one hundred and ninety four with 58 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.479 fifty three yards passing passing in one hundred and forty 59 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.000 one yards rushing. But I think what stands out to 60 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.759 me is I was looking at some of the stats. 61 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.840 Notre Dame is only five for eight on third downs 62 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:07.439 and Penn State is only two for seven, but they're 63 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.400 two for two on fourth downs, so. 64 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.520 Uh exactly. 65 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.959 And Notre Dames also fumbled the ball, so that turnover 66 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:22.000 that always you know, makes plays a role as well. 67 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:30.360 No re action from Jeremy Hope, No, Yeah, the touch 68 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:31.600 push fourth down. 69 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.279 So we have a game tomorrow night. Predictions Ralph Ohio 70 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:39.959 State versus Texas. 71 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.959 Well, Ryan Day saved his job already, so, uh, you 72 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.920 know Texas they have a good football team. Steve Sarcassian 73 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.439 has them moving along. I like Texas in this It's 74 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.600 going to be a dog fight though. Uh you know, 75 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.879 we'll see what Chip Kelly has up his sleeve, the 76 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:01.360 offensive coordinator for Ohio State. We'll see what happens there. 77 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.839 And can Ryan Day keep moving just like James Franklin. 78 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.519 Can he win this big game and move so you 79 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.959 might see Ohio State and Penn State in the championship. 80 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.920 You know that could happen, So we'll see penn'sman. 81 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.600 Your thoughts like Texas? Oh, you like Texas? 82 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:22.199 Okay, I think it's gonna be Ohio State. Ohio State 83 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.639 looks too strong. Will Howard's guy together? Jackson Smith that 84 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.360 you throw everything out and he's catching everything and slate 85 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.360 he could probably catch a bird out of the sky 86 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.959 if one fell out of the sky. That's how much 87 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:38.480 Jackson Smith is catching the bulls. It's scary. 88 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:45.000 Jeremy, your thoughts, I thought, I think we're gonna have 89 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:51.160 a big ten national Championship Texas is two inconsistent. It's 90 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.480 like a man with ivs going to Taco Bell and 91 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:54.920 then going to White Castle in. 92 00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:59.360 The same Joey Lusso, good to see you tonight, my friend. 93 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.279 Hey, God, what's up Joey. 94 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.000 He's an Eagles fan that so. 95 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:10.000 We'll get on those. 96 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.399 He knows about the toush push. 97 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:18.279 Exactly or theush whatever you wanted to call it. 98 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.920 Yeah, yeah, I'm. 99 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:26.040 Gonna say, depending on what team shows up tomorrow night. 100 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.920 And what I mean by that is Ohio State has 101 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.680 looked really good in the playoffs, but they they lost 102 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:37.519 to Michigan. And I'm not and I'm not discounting Michigan, 103 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:42.439 but I'm saying that they're a different team and they 104 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.720 looked different playing Michigan than they did the last couple 105 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.199 of weeks. 106 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:53.120 So yeah, they said that that woke up Ohio. 107 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:57.800 State and that very well be. But all I'm gonna 108 00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:59.800 say is depends on the team that shows up on 109 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:03.759 that feel how how ready are they, how ready does 110 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:10.759 they get them? So always comes to support, show support. 111 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.439 Thank you Joey, and talking about. 112 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.279 If we go talking about hey, you can talk about. 113 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.120 I talk about mind when they're bad. 114 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.600 The most valuable, Notre Dame, the real os U, Oregon State, 115 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:28.360 Go Lions. 116 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.279 I'm talked out of my boys. I'm talked out of. 117 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:37.839 Yeah, I know, Joey. I think you're gonna beat Texas. 118 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.839 I think so too. I think so too. And then 119 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.319 if it comes down to Ohio State versus Penn State, 120 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:48.240 is that even a game? 121 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.079 Well, they know each other, that could because they play 122 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.759 each other. So that's a lot. 123 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.720 So you know, if it goes the way it always 124 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.959 has been, guess what, Yes, it'll be Ohio State whooping 125 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:03.639 the dogs, not out of Fenn State. 126 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.480 That's what happened earlier in the season, so that could happen. 127 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.560 But you know what, though, this is the championship. This 128 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.279 isn't the regulars or the you know, the regular season 129 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:20.800 of college football. You know, when that's a whole different season. 130 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.720 Doesn't have the experience. I think he's gonna choke. 131 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.600 That's what I'm getting at. 132 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.240 You know, they the only thing he has his experience 133 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.080 at Fenn State, and the only experience we've seen is 134 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.799 a losing record against the Big three teams they faced 135 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:36.519 every year. 136 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:38.639 They might win one of them, but they never win 137 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:39.080 all three. 138 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.639 They always get close to a couple of them, but 139 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.399 they don't ever win it all. And I don't know 140 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:47.600 if he's the coach that's gonna take him to the 141 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.519 national championship, because he's got to get past Ryan Day, 142 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.919 just like Ryan Day now has to get Pastron Moore, 143 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:55.200 his daddy. 144 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.080 And let's face it, if you look at like look 145 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.919 with the stats I'm looking at Penn State's quarterback right now, 146 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:10.399 he has he is, yes, five for thirteen for fifty 147 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:14.440 three yards, a rating of seventy two point seven. Now 148 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.120 that's not going to cut it against Ohio State's defense. 149 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.399 So yes, they're running the ball a little bit more 150 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:23.440 he has. Nicholas Singleton has ten carries for fifty two yards. 151 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.879 But if you become so one dimensional, then you totally know. 152 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.600 And Ji, I am not an Ohio State fan. I will. 153 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.960 I am a big ten fan when it's not my team, 154 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.519 but I am not State fan. 155 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:49.279 Sorry Wisconsin, Yes, no, we say Wisconsin. 156 00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:56.960 Wisconsin, Wisconsin. But thanks Ji, thanks for tuning in. Actually 157 00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:58.120 we've missed. 158 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:00.320 So. 159 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:08.039 But yeah, so I think if I mean, I don't 160 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.399 know if it's a credit to notre names defense, whether 161 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.240 the quarterback is doing as poorly as he is Drew 162 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:18.320 Aller right now. But if a team becomes one dimensional, 163 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.200 I think Ohio State's defense will take over. And I 164 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.240 think they're that much. They're just yes, you're right, Joey. 165 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.279 The Ohio State. 166 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:37.320 Yes, okay, the only university where people in the NFL 167 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.320 and pronounce it that way. Everybody's like, I go to 168 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.480 Arkansas State, I go to Alabama mud puppies, I go 169 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:44.559 to this, I go to that. 170 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.559 I go to the Ohio State. 171 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:48.679 Mm hmmm. 172 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.039 If they were the winning as broader and I could 173 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:53.200 understand it, mm hmm. 174 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.279 Kim Hiwards, Kim Hillwards still says that. 175 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:05.440 Okay, so let's we're gonna We're not gonna go NFL 176 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.000 just yet. We are going to I read an article 177 00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:15.600 Most Valuable, ranking the twenty five most valuable college sports 178 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:20.440 programs in twenty twenty four. These numbers are in, and 179 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:27.960 these universities produced record numbers, So I was kind. I 180 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:32.600 wasn't shocked because obviously, let's face it, television broadcast rights 181 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:38.480 crossed the four billion mark recently and continue to grow 182 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:44.679 ticket sales, alumni donations, licensing, ad contracts, and conference distributions 183 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:48.440 as a collective unit make college athletics one of the 184 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:58.720 world's biggest businesses. So any ideas top twenty five. Can 185 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.720 you name a couple of colleges you think are going 186 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:04.720 to be in the top twenty five. 187 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:15.120 I'm going to guess that Miami, Alabama, Michigan, Oregon, Ohio State, Penn. 188 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.720 State, Justise Stateise. 189 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:21.720 State because but that's just Boise State's more popular than 190 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.000 actually a money maker because they have a smaller stadium. 191 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.320 I'm looking at the stadiums in my head. 192 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:33.879 Yeah, Georgia is another one, Florida State, possibly USC what 193 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:35.120 if they had a team. 194 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.519 Yeah, USCA. 195 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.759 So we'll start with twenty five and we'll go down. 196 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:49.679 So the twenty fifth is the Fighting a Lion I 197 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:51.080 of Illinois. 198 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:52.960 Right, it's actually surprising. 199 00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:56.759 Willingham's doing pretty good job. 200 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.159 The reason why I say that because I've been to 201 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.360 their stadium and thousand is less than sixty thousand, So 202 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.360 for them to be that profitable of a program, it's 203 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.240 kind of surprising. 204 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:13.200 Remember it's college athletic program, so it's not just football. 205 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:17.360 Oh okay, they got a good Okay. 206 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:19.759 Is it is it based on money, candy or just 207 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.960 the whatever's. 208 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:25.279 On valuation and revenue. So Fighting ALLIONI is valued at 209 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.320 six hundred and sixty five million. Their revenue was one 210 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.039 hundred and forty eight million last year. Florida State Seminoles 211 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:39.559 is twenty four, Stanford Cardinals is twenty three, Michigan State 212 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:47.360 Spartans twenty two, Iowa Hawkeys, twenty one, Auburn Tigers twenty 213 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:59.480 Kentucky Wildcats nineteen, Arkansas Razorbacks eighteen, Oregon Ducks seventeen. Sixteen 214 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:04.840 is a club and Tigers. Fifteen is the Wisconsin Badgers, 215 00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:08.759 which kind of really surprised me. They are valued at eight. 216 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:12.080 They are valued at eight hundred and thirty eight million. 217 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.440 They had revenue of one hundred and ninety eight million, 218 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.600 so I was kind of surprised that Michigan states underneath 219 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:22.600 them yet. Then number fourteen is the Florida Gators, thirteen 220 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:28.879 is LSU Tigers, twelve is USC Trojans, eleven is Penn 221 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.600 State and at Nate Lions. Ten is the Oklahoma Sooners. 222 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:43.840 Nine is the Tennessee Volunteers. Eight Nebraska Cornhuskers. What seven 223 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:45.600 is Georgia Bulldogs. 224 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:47.039 I figured. 225 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:53.960 Six is the other team playing tonight, Notre Dame. Five 226 00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:01.039 Alabama Crimson Tide. Four Michigan woolf manes. 227 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.639 There we go. Four, That's what I do. 228 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.639 Three Texas and m at Aggies. 229 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:08.679 Wow. 230 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:14.279 The Texas ones h money, money, money, all of it. 231 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:21.159 And number one is the Ohio State. They're valued at 232 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:25.000 one point three two billion and they had revenue of 233 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:27.960 two hundred and eighty million dollars. 234 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.200 I'm surprised Penn State's really not in there. They draw, well, 235 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.240 they have one hundred and nine thousand seat stadium or something. 236 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:38.600 They draw or they sell out every game. The spring 237 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:42.320 game sells out, so I mean, ye know, but I'm 238 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:47.000 actually quite surprised they have a seventy million dollar budget 239 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:47.919 for nil. 240 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.559 Mm hmmm. Well Penn State was eleventh, Okay, they were 241 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:56.360 That's not bad. 242 00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:59.919 Joey has a question for you. Why isn't West Virginia 243 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:00.879 not in the list? 244 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:08.000 Oh West Virginia, Well yeah, you know they can pay 245 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:09.240 Richie Rod to come back. 246 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:16.320 Yes, notre Ohio State being up there. That's because they 247 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:18.200 have a good basketball program. 248 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.120 I can't stand the Buckeyes. I live in Ohio. That 249 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:22.080 is awesome. 250 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:29.879 Yeah, yes, no. 251 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:38.399 Ohio person, I know that like Ohio State. Finally, so 252 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:39.600 the so the one. 253 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.759 Thing that the one thing that they are talking about 254 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.320 Notre Dame has massive TV contracts. But the other thing 255 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.039 is Notre Dame will not have to share its fourteen 256 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:51.559 million dollar playoff playout with any other program because they're 257 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.159 not in a conference. So that's one thing that you know, 258 00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:00.159 everybody forgets and it has a long time to v 259 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:01.279 deal with NBC. 260 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:05.559 So I gotta I got a better one about Ohio 261 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.759 State that'll make you laugh though. A guy that watches 262 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.640 my show during the day, Ricky, He actually is a 263 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.839 janitor at the University of Ohio State, at the State 264 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.240 University Ji. 265 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.880 They were in the top twenty five. Notre Dame was six. 266 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:28.359 I have breaking news. I have breaking news. Notre Dame 267 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:33.799 in the red zone as we speak right now. Yes, yes, 268 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.640 look at Jeremy in their house head they turn. They 269 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:39.640 are in the red zone as we speak. It could 270 00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:43.720 be ten ten, yeah, two. 271 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:45.200 Half second adjustments. 272 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.680 God play one half, James gott play one half. 273 00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:58.200 No problem, Jay, I'm all about you know. I just 274 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:00.960 thought it was an interesting article that people might like 275 00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:01.279 to hear. 276 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.160 So, yeah, it is. 277 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:06.519 Good article that a lot of surprising teams in there. 278 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:10.960 Exactly, there was something that surprised me. Honestly, I would 279 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:11.599 not have said. 280 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.599 Auburn was the one that really shocked me, because you. 281 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:20.079 Know, ja, I didn't do anything. 282 00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:24.200 Jake Joey used those gold headed. 283 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.880 You know what I screwed up. They blamed Plensman. Bensman 284 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:30.000 gets the blame for everything. 285 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:31.119 That's right. 286 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.359 Where's Oregon State still looking for boosters? Since they were 287 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:38.599 in the two pac this year? 288 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:40.759 And I think we're still in Oregon. 289 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:42.920 Mm hmmm, right. 290 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:45.240 It was Washington State and Oregon State. That's all there 291 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.319 was in the old Pack twelve. I call it the 292 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:52.799 two Packs. Next year, next year it's the thick pack who. 293 00:18:54.799 --> 00:19:03.400 Exactly exactly? Okay, well there, let's let's turn college to NFL. 294 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:09.319 So we had the season last year or last week. 295 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:12.880 Some of us, some of us don't want to talk 296 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:15.599 about it. Some some of us probably do because there 297 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.039 were some good games and then there were some games 298 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.200 that you kind of just questioned. And and I get 299 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:26.559 to a certain extent because I know nobody on here 300 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.599 is a Packer fan. I understand that. But and the 301 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.000 Packers did they have something to play for the Sea 302 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:35.039 The only thing they had to play for was seeding. 303 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.680 They were already in the playoffs. But we played everybody, 304 00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:47.839 and we got injured and banged up. I know, yes, yes, yes, 305 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:53.440 and stop you guys FTP, stop it. 306 00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:58.839 I think he's talking about the Florist company or isn't 307 00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:00.960 that what they used to be called, the ones that 308 00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:05.559 sponsored all the flora's ftph. 309 00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:12.119 But just Jordan Love is practicing, he will play. Obviously, 310 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:17.720 Christian Watson is out for this the rest this whole year, 311 00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:21.319 and then we don't know when part of next year. 312 00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:23.079 I do have a report. 313 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.240 It looks like it's gonna be a year long recovery 314 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.200 process because he didn't just tear the A c L 315 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:32.400 he or his nniscus and a couple of the other 316 00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:37.359 ligament ligaments. And you're it'll be week eighteen before he 317 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.759 can recover, because you're not just talking about an a 318 00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:43.079 CL now and ACL is usually like ten months, even 319 00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:46.039 for somebody as young as him. You're talking about all 320 00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:49.599 the miniscus and all the other things around it. It 321 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.480 could be potentially be a career ender because if he 322 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:58.160 doesn't come through recovery good. Yeah, her team is up 323 00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:01.160 against you, Joey. So she's a Green Bay packer band. 324 00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:04.599 She's coming to your town trying to take your thunder 325 00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:14.680 make sure you slap them back to Green Bay. 326 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.359 Okay, something to show you. It's gonna be getting mailed up. 327 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:19.160 You know. 328 00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:21.720 Did you see it yet? 329 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:22.680 No? 330 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:24.400 I have not seen it yet, but I can. I 331 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:28.480 can imagine. I look at that, it's a it's an Lway. 332 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:30.279 Jersey. 333 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:31.039 There we go. 334 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.839 It was easier to put it on the current Orange 335 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:37.480 Crush version that they got than it was to do 336 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:39.920 the old one because if I did it on the 337 00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:41.599 old one, it had taken a month to get it 338 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.359 because they got to change all the setting. 339 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:49.279 Yep, no problem, no problem. 340 00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:51.799 Candy was gotten lay bad. 341 00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:58.920 And jay I I you might see that picture at 342 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:00.880 some point. I just don't know when yet. 343 00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:10.799 But oh, Joey's got it ack our bag were going. 344 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:16.240 Home now, No, don't discount us, we can. 345 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:21.119 You know. You know what I heard green Bay could 346 00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:23.599 be is the most dangerous team in the playoffs in 347 00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:25.200 the NFC. That's what they're saying. 348 00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.200 They said that coming up the week eighteen, and that 349 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:31.440 kind of went away when they lost. 350 00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:32.279 To Chicago at home. 351 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:34.200 Chicago. Yeah, I can't believe that. 352 00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:39.519 And I still think they're a dangerous team, but I 353 00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:43.279 think losing the deep threat of what Watson is going 354 00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:43.920 to be huge. 355 00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:51.519 No, not what Candy told me. It's not, as. 356 00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:55.000 Christian has been so injured for so long that we've 357 00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:57.920 missed him a lot of times and still done. Okay, 358 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:03.799 So it just and it depends on not that not 359 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.880 that everybody doesn't know this, but it depends on how 360 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.319 our running game works. And if if Philadelphia can stop 361 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:14.680 our running game and we become very one dimensional, then yes, 362 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:27.920 but that didn't come on wrong. That's kind of funny. 363 00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:41.640 But there's more games Philadelphia, same Bay game. So let's 364 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.400 talk about some of the other games. Guys, who who 365 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:46.759 plays Saturday. 366 00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:53.119 Saturday will be the Washington Commanders at Tampa Bay, I believe, yes, 367 00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:53.839 and then. 368 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:04.240 Steelers, Yeah, that Cargers, Texans Chargers, Chargers and somebody in tex. 369 00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:06.960 And then Steelers Ravens. 370 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:12.799 Yeah, Steelers are going to attempt to show up. They 371 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:14.960 actually made a trip to Balmore. But we'll see how 372 00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:17.119 how they how they turn out if they show up 373 00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:17.319 or not. 374 00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:20.559 Well, remember jay I, at the beginning of the season, 375 00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:24.799 Tampa Bay was fully healthy playing against the Commanders who 376 00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:28.039 was running basically a rookie. 377 00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:30.480 Quarterback in his first game in a regular season. 378 00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:38.759 And yes, they they they did well. But the Commanders 379 00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.279 are a different team now than they were at Week one. 380 00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:45.880 They're more seasons, they're playing well. I think their secondary 381 00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:48.519 is actually a little better than Tampa Bay's right now. 382 00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:53.400 Tampa Bay's secondary has been so hurt this year. That's 383 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:55.599 what That's why they've been up and down. They'll have 384 00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:57.079 a great game and then they have. 385 00:24:58.599 --> 00:24:59.279 A bad game. 386 00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:01.839 Yeahs being given nine and a half and I think 387 00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:06.559 it's too much. Did you guys hear about the wide 388 00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:07.359 receiver Jermain. 389 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:16.759 Yeah, he's in the process of legal charges. He beat 390 00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:17.400 his girlfriend. 391 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:21.960 Wow, So you know, with him being a rookie and 392 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:24.680 not even being a star and being great at what 393 00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:32.519 he did this year, I don't know if it was 394 00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:36.359 the wide receiver Williams or if it was a Iron Williams, 395 00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:37.759 the rook the running back. 396 00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:51.039 On the bright side, the Commander's got moved the football. Also, 397 00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:54.880 they'll be playing Sunday night at eight twenty so Sports 398 00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:55.640 Sunday Night game. 399 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:01.759 So none of those said around Sunday. 400 00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:09.359 Saturday, Chargers and Texans and Steelers.
