(01:35):
AM five seventy La Cereal Fox college football analyst and
our good buddy Petros.

Speaker 6 (01:42):
Good morning, Good morning everybody.

Speaker 7 (01:44):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Do you know the song Petros?

Speaker 5 (01:48):
It's about that'salo Niki? Petros? Did you pick the song?

Speaker 8 (01:54):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:55):
How did you know? Because the first line he said,
that's Niki.

Speaker 9 (01:59):
Move.

Speaker 10 (02:00):
Yeah, I kind of want to go back to uh
jella and that song.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Ah, how did you know? Well you said it?

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Where does that?

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Where does this song rank amongst popular Greek songs of
all time?

Speaker 11 (02:16):
I'm not really sure. It's probably pretty big. And that'salikya, But.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
What does that mean?

Speaker 3 (02:22):
It's a that'sal a.

Speaker 11 (02:24):
Nikki is like the San Francisco to if Athens is
la That'saliki. It's like San Francisco it's a northern Greek town.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
Can you take us one day? Can we go on
a trip.

Speaker 9 (02:34):
I've never been to Sikiles's even more reason for us
all go.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
I know people that used to live there. Though.

Speaker 11 (02:42):
It's a nice place. I heard it's really cool. Where
do you go when you go to Greece? I was
married in a town on the backside of the island
of Rhodes, which is not a place where my family
is from. But ever since we got married there in
the Greek church and my wife converted in all that,

(03:02):
people in the village sort of remember us. So I
like to go back there. But this time of year
it's desolate. I mean, there's nobody there. Greek islands are
very seasonal, so the people that live there during this
time of year live a very austere, spartan lifestyle. There's
not much open, there's no club life, it's cold, it rains,

(03:26):
so it's really a summertime thing out there. But the
town I got married and if anybody wants to look
it up, as a place called Landos l n Dos Roads,
which is very old old actually, the village predates the
name of the island of Rhodes and was mentioned in

(03:48):
the Iliad by Homer, So they're very proud and there's
about three hundred of them. And there's a lot of
British people there because Roads used to be a British
island during the Crusades, so there's British castles and stuff
like that.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
And there's a lot of automate.

Speaker 11 (04:07):
Influence because Rhodes is really close to Turkey the Turkeys, Yeah,
used to be Turkey, so and that that's also very
volatile between the Greeks and the Turk. So very interesting
place of antiquity.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
But my family, very interesting history.

Speaker 11 (04:26):
Lesson my family is from the Peloponti switch is below Athens.

Speaker 9 (04:32):
Did you get good grades, man, No, like you're super smart,
And I was about to say you probably got horrible grades.

Speaker 11 (04:38):
You're probably just an average student. I was not a
good student. I did better in college, okay.

Speaker 9 (04:45):
And the reason why I say that, let me let
me qualify it because and I'm calling you a brilliant
dude on having information. No, you are a pretty brilliant dude.

Speaker 12 (04:55):
Man.

Speaker 9 (04:55):
I listened to the things you say. But generally people
is intelligent as you are aren't stimulated enough because you're
generally probably more intelligent than the person who was probably.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Tasked with educating you.

Speaker 9 (05:08):
So you end up being a person that it doesn't
do very well in school.

Speaker 11 (05:13):
So I was not a good student. Okay, you weren't interested,
that's all I guess not I was seen as an idiot. Yeah,
class clown.

Speaker 9 (05:23):
But your class clownness, your class clownness was offensive and
bothersome to those who ran the classrooms because it was over.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Their head or its equal trying to learn? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 (05:37):
Good at the normal bet the normals. You know you're
You're not a normal dude. Bro, You're a pretty different dude.
And speaking of different dudes, why don't you ever come
to the NFF dinner?

Speaker 13 (05:47):
Man?

Speaker 5 (05:47):
What's the NFF?

Speaker 3 (05:49):
National Football Foundation?

Speaker 5 (05:51):
You're?

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Oh, what's good about football?

Speaker 5 (05:52):
Man? Like, you know, I do this campaign.

Speaker 9 (05:54):
I'm gonna get Q one day as well, but I
do interviews for podcasts do called good in the Game,
and it's for the National Football Foundation. It's like all
about talking about things that had led to you being
like who you are and how much the game played a.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
Part in it.

Speaker 9 (06:11):
Uh, I feel like this event would be I know
you don't like being around people, but it still seems
like it would be an event where where you are.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
I have to get on a plane. Yeahs don't have
to You don't have to fly.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
You can draft Vegas.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Isn't a bad draft from where you're at?

Speaker 5 (06:29):
No, I've done it.

Speaker 11 (06:30):
I went to the Mountain West Media Day and I
was just in Vegas calling a football.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Game at Allegiant. Yeah, did you fly or did you draft?

Speaker 11 (06:38):
I flew because I had to fly to San Diego
afterwards and call another game in San Diego?

Speaker 3 (06:43):
You did JSX? What is that jet? Sweet X? It's
like a.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Private jet, but it's like a public private jet.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Oh, I didn't do that.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
That definitely afraid of flying.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
I don't like it. No.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
Oh, Like, where does that come from?

Speaker 3 (07:00):
It?

Speaker 5 (07:00):
All the time?

Speaker 11 (07:01):
Yeah, don't you guys want to talk about college football?

Speaker 9 (07:07):
I'm enjoying breaking you down. Yeah, I mean, you know,
we bring a lot of time.

Speaker 11 (07:12):
You know, when I was a child, I was gripped
with fear and then I kind of just.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
Sort of bulowed over with with uh just will.

Speaker 11 (07:21):
But now that I'm getting older, I'm becoming very afraid again.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
How do you play football when you're gripped with fear?

Speaker 9 (07:29):
Like that's a total antithesis, answered, give it to us fearfully.
You know, we started the show with Mark, with Big
John Henderson, and you remember the clip of him getting
smacked by by his trainer and he's like, come on,

(07:50):
come on, slap me harder, and like he said, because
he was super like. I don't think he said scared,
but he said crazy, nervous and wanted to get his
it out before he even went out on the field.
So you would have his trainer slapped the hell out
of him in the training room before he went out
to the field for warm ups.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Yes, anxiety And did you.

Speaker 9 (08:10):
Have somebody slapping the hell out of you to get
the anxiety out of you?

Speaker 5 (08:13):
I did not gripping fear.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
I didn't.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
Maybe I should have thought it. Well, talk to us,
talk to us.

Speaker 10 (08:19):
So what you've witnessed from college football, there's been a
lot of that conversation going on. I'm kind of curious
the playoff, the group of six teams getting in and
didn't get yeah left out.

Speaker 11 (08:32):
It's really it's really becoming quite a saga, isn't it.
And the whole story about when they expanded the playoff,
and some of the detractors said, but people aren't going
to care about who doesn't get in if so many
teams get in. I think that story or narrative has
kind of been crushed, especially this year. And I think

(08:56):
the College Football Playoff really did benefit last year from
having Notre Dame play in four of the games, and
that became a huge story. And Notre Dame is the
number one brand in all of college sports. So they
are upset and but heard about this because they feel used.
They feel used, I believe by Disney and the ESPN entity.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
Here's what bothers me about it.

Speaker 11 (09:24):
ESPN has a big stake in the ACC, right if
they don't basically own it. Yeah, they own the SEC,
they own the College Football Playoff. They own a bunch
of shows that sit there and argue about all of
it and wag the dog and get everybody all riled up,

(09:46):
including the selection show, which Notre Dame feels misled by.
And then we all go through these machinations or these
stages of the cross or whatever you call it to
satisfy ESPN basically in a giant circle jerky. It's crazy.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
It's everybody.

Speaker 11 (10:16):
It's all the same people doing the same thing and
creating the story Notre Dame obviously, I mean two things
can be true at the same time. Is Notre Dame
being a little bit petulant? Perhaps, But do they have
a point? Absolutely, they have a point, and they feel
on the outside of this.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
Notre Dame is the only team.

Speaker 11 (10:40):
I'm pretty sure, as was evidenced by the Longhorn Network,
Notre Dame is the only team that can have their
own TV deal and they've proven it out since what
is it, nineteen ninety one nineteen? How long have they
been on an NBC forever? And as long as somebody's
willing to pay them and they have their own TV deal,

(11:04):
they don't have to join anybody's conference or playing anybody's
reindeer games. Maybe they have to adjust their scheduling. I
don't know, but I see their point. Maybe bvaqua has
done one or two too many press conferences, but I
understand that they're upset about it, and I just what

(11:25):
bothers me is.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
I don't like pretending.

Speaker 11 (11:28):
That ESPN doesn't own it all and is pulling all
the strings, and that's part of the problem. And Fox,
where we work, as part of the problem too, because
they own the Big ten and represent the big ten,
and both entities run college football and we're basically making
it up as we go along, and that's going to

(11:49):
lead to a lot of incongruity. That's always been our sport.
There's always been a lot of confusion and a lot
of argument. It's kind of made the sport what it is,
and the regional nature of the sport and people having
temper tantrums and getting upset and calling others out and

(12:10):
press conferences and things like that is part of it. So,
I mean, I understand it pretty well. But the part
that bothers me is that ESPN owns all of it
and we're all just going through the motions for him,
and I'm tired of that.

Speaker 10 (12:24):
So I've kind of taken this stance on social media
for whatever the whatever that matters. But Notre Dame decides
to opt out of the ball game, and I understand
the motivations as to why, based on how ESPN handled
the college football playoffs, some of the things that were
told in the weeks leading up that they were going
to be good, they were going to make it in
and obviously that rug gap pulled out from underneath of

(12:45):
them in the final ranking, and then you know, ESPN
turns around and says.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
Hey, but come play this bull game. You know you
want to play for a national change we own, and
we're going, yeah, Yeah, we're going to man you pop tart.

Speaker 11 (12:56):
Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna make you do snow angels
in the rostering.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (13:01):
And we're going to make sure that we bring in
a team that also didn't get in as frustrated in BYU,
and we're going to promote the fact that neither of
your institutions wants anyone to have sex before marriage and
go from there. But there's a lot of pushback from people,
and it feels like it's mostly from ESPN folks because
obviously this hurts their bottom line, but even like other

(13:22):
people out there, which they're chiming in, and I'm kind
of like, here's my opinion on all this. We played
in a Bowl game when after ty Wllingham got fired,
and we voted as a team to do it because
of a lot of our upper classmen said, unless you're
playing for a national championship, which at that day and
age right, it was all the BCS or at BCS

(13:43):
New York six game, you don't go. And we had
to convince our upper class and to go when it
was like a sixty to forty VOA. And you know
what happened in that bowl game. No one took a
we got beat up.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
No one took us seriously.

Speaker 10 (13:55):
Like the coaches were looking for jobs players, everyone was
going out in the entire time we're in Scott's. No
one took it seriously, and everyone says, like, we'll look
back on it, you know, would you have done something differently? Yeah,
probably not go Probably not go to a bowl game
that it was a great experience. I had a fun
time with my teammates, but it was basically a party.
Could have done that on campus, could have gone on

(14:16):
vacation together, something else. And so today, like twenty some
years later, like I look at a Petros and guys
are opting out because they're either going to the draft,
or maybe they're just going to go in the transfer portal,
or maybe there's even some players who have.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
Some injuries that need to get stuff taken care of.

Speaker 10 (14:30):
Coaches are looking at the transfer port that comes up
here in January trying to either retain.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Guys or fill in spots in their roster.

Speaker 10 (14:38):
It's like it almost makes the case like, why would
you play an exhibition game if you're not playing for
national championship? Like I understand that everyone loves football is
for the love of the game and all that, but
really it's like, what's the upside.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Anymore with some of these games?

Speaker 5 (14:51):
Some of them?

Speaker 11 (14:51):
Right, every team has their own story and every individual
coach and group of players has its own motivation. So
I think you're absolutely right. For some people, it doesn't
make sense. For others, they're hypermotivated to have the extra
practice and try to keep the team together and retain players,
or have one more game together and do all that

(15:15):
stuff that we say. I think it goes both ways,
and I absolutely agree with all of your points. I
don't think Notre Dame wanted to play in ESPN's charade
this year after they felt used by ESPN during the year,
and I think that's absolutely fine that they didn't want.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
To do it.

Speaker 11 (15:38):
And it's totally understandable for some people or some teams
and some individuals the Bowl game is meaningful. For others,
just depending on circumstance, it isn't. And I think that's fine.
If I'm Notre Dame, I wouldn't want to go have
mayonnaise port all over my head, or run around with

(16:00):
the giant pop tart and sit there and play while
the announcers eat and chew in the microphone. I totally
get it. It totally makes sense to me. The Bowl
season has become something different. I don't know if it's
going to go away, or how many will go away,
or what will.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
Happen, but I think you're absolutely right.

Speaker 11 (16:23):
It's just the part that bothers me is that everybody
just acts like the whole thing's not orchestrated by ESPN
and their pundits go on and make all these points
and get all excited and point counterpoint, and of course
we don't have any like It's the most ridiculous thing
in the world. It's worse than politics. And that's part

(16:44):
of the problem here. I think, if you're going to
have a committee, which it's not necessary, but if you're
going to have a committee, just have football people. Are
media people like Ivan masl Is on there. That's great.
The guys worked everywhere and Sports Illustrated and all that.
Chris All, Mike Riley, Wesley Walls like those are hardcore

(17:06):
football people. But with all due respect to administrators, ads
are politicians, and politicians do what they flip on public opinion.
They have yeah, politics, politics, publicic, no backbone whatsoever. And
that's why you'll have Notre Dame ahead of Miami all

(17:30):
year and then suddenly the year ends and it flips
because of political pressure.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
And that's what you have.

Speaker 11 (17:37):
On this board or committee or whatever with a bunch
of ads. If you need to have an administrator, have
one ad be in charge of the whole thing and administrate.
But to have a bunch of ads in this group
makes the group political and politics suck. If you're going

(17:59):
to have a maybe you have hardcore football people and
you'll probably have a less offensive vote at the end
of the year or less surprising vote at the end
of the year.

Speaker 9 (18:09):
Pata tros Let me follow up on what Q was saying.
Not to step one you Jones, but I want to
get too far away from what Q said the first
time in track Yeah yeah, ten dollars. Uh, So let
me ask you. Let me ask you this. Does this
actually create a critical mass situation in your estimation, like

(18:31):
the fact that the premise behind why Notre Dame doesn't
want to do it, you know, doesn't want to play
this game?

Speaker 5 (18:39):
And do the ring around the Rosie dance with ESPN.

Speaker 9 (18:43):
Does this set a precedence that could be dangerous to
ESPN moving forward?

Speaker 5 (18:50):
Well, I don't think they're going to sell off their stuff.

Speaker 11 (18:52):
I think what's likely to happen is they'll be a
bigger playoff. ESPN will sell off some of that to Fox,
just like they've sold some of it off to TNT,
and the charade will continue. I think the conference championship
games are obviously in jeopardy unless they become playoff elimination.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Games, which would make a little bit more sense.

Speaker 11 (19:16):
And then you have the big mass of bowl games.
Some of those are probably going to end up going
away as well.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
We need a commissioner or.

Speaker 11 (19:27):
Some kind of czar of college football, but who's going
to agree on that. I mean, the two people that
are in charge are the people that run ESPEN and Fox,
behind the proxies of the big ten in the SEC.
So I think that we reach critical mass a few
years ago, probably LeVar, But there's nobody with enough power
to get everybody under the same roof and to fix

(19:50):
the thing. So if what you like about college football
is the chaos, which is basically what it's always been,
then this is a great time to alive.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Has what college football's turned into because you're somebody who
grew up family history in college football, you love the
traditions all.

Speaker 6 (20:10):
That come along with it.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Has sort of, and we talked about a little in
the offseason, has this mixed with, you know, the business
side and the discussions and the has it kind of
I don't want that tainted. For lack of a better term,
I don't know. I mean, it's all on the whole sport, not.

Speaker 11 (20:28):
Really, because if you look back on it, there really
is no good reason that we have and I'm sure
I've made this point before, but there's no good reason
to have these gigantic, multi billion dollar football entities within
our institutions of higher education. In so many ways, the

(20:50):
football team has become the identity of a lot of
these schools, and those two things they really don't jibe.
It's just something that happened early part of the twentieth century.
And I don't think it happened on purpose. It happened
because the sport was popular and there was a demand
for it, just like it would happen with any sport

(21:11):
that got popular. The pile of money that started being
made by the athletic departments because of the TV deals
and all the endowment and the boosters and all that stuff.
It got so big that it kind of towered behind
the people that were in front of it, and that

(21:34):
money has to be distributed to people that are playing.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
At this point, it just has to be.

Speaker 11 (21:40):
We could say when Mike was going to games with
my grandfather and my dad at the coliseum and watching
players play and listening to the fight song, that it
was a purer time.

Speaker 5 (21:51):
But what's so pure about it?

Speaker 11 (21:53):
You have a bunch of guys making a bunch of
money for the university that end up getting spit out
by the program when their career is over. We've all
seen what football can do for people in a positive way,
we've all seen what it can do for people in
a negative way, and we've all seen the ugly side
of the sport, however you want to define that. And

(22:14):
all of that stuff was going on when we thought
the game was more quote unquote pure. So I think
we've always been in the sewer and now it's just
a lot harder to maintain a team and grow a
team and to cultivate a culture. But that doesn't mean
we still don't have culture, and we still don't have games,

(22:35):
and we still don't have identities of coaches and programs.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
So I look back.

Speaker 11 (22:42):
I try to avoid talking about the good old days
because I don't think they exist. I think this has
been an evolving kind of It's been an evolving anomaly
for over one hundred years, ever since Redgrange made the
sport popular at Illinois. And we live in it now

(23:05):
and there's nobody. The NCAA is two week to take over.
The TV companies aren't going to get along and promoter us.
I mean, we've had some uniformity. The SEC agreed to
play the extra conference game and all that, and they
closed one of the transfer portals. So you could say
that's progress, but it's a little bit like throwing a
deck chair off the Titanic with all the stuff that's

(23:27):
going on.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
It's a great visual.

Speaker 10 (23:30):
By the way, you also talked about the expansion and
Fox can get peace. I'm not so sure a little
bit because of how divisive things are between ESPN and Fox.
And they'll be do a TNT branding I believe on
this year's playoff in some games, I mean TNT is
really not involved much at all in college football, But

(23:51):
I digress.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
I want to generally ask you this.

Speaker 10 (23:54):
You're done with call on games, Like, yes, obviously you
got the radio show going on, but is this kind
of a like what do you venture into this time
of year?

Speaker 11 (24:02):
Some other stuff you guys are doing. I assume family,
traveling all that. I wish I could find a way
to make some more money, but well, the Pro Football
Foundation or the National NFF give me some.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Money to tell my story.

Speaker 11 (24:20):
Yeah I need money, but this time of year I
just kind of delve back into family life and try
to make sure trying to make sure that everybody gets
their holiday wishes, and trying to support my wife. It's
not an easy time because you kind of strive and
strive for the year to end, as you guys know,

(24:41):
in the football season, and then the year ends and
you remember all of the problems that you had before
it began, and you kind of have to go back to.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Working on those. So that's kind of where I'm at.

Speaker 11 (24:54):
Usually I go through a real state of elation when
the season is over, and then a feeling of loss
and desolation, which is what.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
Is there any sort of optimism or positivity. Can you
can talk to us about at.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
This time of day?

Speaker 1 (25:10):
No, I mean the Dodgers signed Edwin dis Yeah, the
trumpet guy.

Speaker 11 (25:19):
He plays a trumpet out of his ass and then
he comes. They do that, the Dodgers. Yeah, they're gonna
do it.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah. Oh yeah.

Speaker 11 (25:25):
They used to have the Eric Gangne Welcome to the
Jungle that he used to come out and blow people down.
And then they had California Love with Kenley Jansen not
as popular, and now they'll do the trumpet butt call.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
Well, Petros gonna be great always. Uh, he's appreciated.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
But thanks to Home Serve for sponsoring this show, because
owning a home is amazing until it's not. One minute
you're sipping coffee, the next your ankle deep in water
from a burst pipe. Repairs don't care about timing, and
they definitely don't care about your budget. You protect your health,
your car, even your phone, but what about your home.
It's probably your biggest investment, and when things go wrong,
the cost can hit hard and fast. And that's where

(27:41):
Home Serve comes in regular homeowners insurance usually doesn't cover
a lot of the day to day wear and tear,
plumbing failures, HVAC breakdowns, electrical issues. You're often on your
own for those. That's where home Serve comes in. It's
like a subscription for your home for as little as
four ninety nine a month. They've got your back. Repairs
hit fast, and they hit hard. But you could be
searching for a contractor in a panic, or you could

(28:03):
already be on the phone with home Serves twenty four
to seven hotlines scheduling a repair. It's super simple. Just
choose a plan for your needs and budget, and when
something on your plan goes wrong, just call their twenty
four to seven hotline to start the repair process. They've
helped homeowners like you for over twenty years with a
trusted national network of twenty six hundred local contractors with

(28:25):
four point five million customers, a four point eight out
of five post repair rating, and an A plus BBB rating.
They're the real deal. Look, I use home Serve and
you should too, And I'll be honest with you. I
wish I would have had it years ago. Just bought
our place, thought we had everything dialed in come downstairs
one morning standing in water. That's where Home Serve would

(28:46):
have come in because they can help protect your home
systems and your wall like they could have done for
me with Home Serve against covered repairs.

Speaker 5 (28:53):
Plans start at just four ninety.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Nine a month.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Go to HomeServe dot com to find the plan that's

He's the one and only Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter,

(31:21):
lead content strategist at the MMQB. Get him on X
at Albert Breer by the way, apparently a baseball savant
or insider if you will, because I was looking at
your X feed yesterday, Albert, and I saw this guest.
Third base ain't all it's cracked up to be. So
what baseball reference were you referring to there?

Speaker 12 (31:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (31:44):
Just uh, you know, I just you know, sometimes I
like to crossover another sports.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
That's all. Yeah, you are.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
You got to be ashamed of yourself. Man, That programs
for a lot of art.

Speaker 16 (31:57):
Hey, and I've got listening in THEA was bad news.
I guess yesterday gave me some perspective on.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
All Oh dude, do that.

Speaker 10 (32:09):
I mean, let's not distract from the initial point of
the mush. All right, you show up at Ohio State games.
They've got a losing record with you there, You're be like, well,
you know they're gonna winning Ruger versus not Dube. What
is with you showing up at games and they're not
playing well?

Speaker 3 (32:22):
Albert?

Speaker 16 (32:24):
You know what, like I don't know. I think part
of the problem, but he needs I'm going to all
these really high leverage games. I think I need.

Speaker 12 (32:33):
I need to make my way to a few more.

Speaker 16 (32:35):
Like Ohio State, Michigan State, or Ohio State Rutgers. Like
maybe that's the problem. That's my second one two game
of the year. I actually I'm not one and one.

Speaker 13 (32:45):
Of those by the way, So.

Speaker 16 (32:48):
Yeah, I mean I get I think that may be
the problem, is that all the games I go.

Speaker 12 (32:52):
To are are just these high leverage one two two
versus three games, And uh, maybe maybe that's the problem.
But again, like I wouldn't want to take away from
the news of the day.

Speaker 5 (33:05):
We'll talk about it.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
What we're talking about.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
What do you know?

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Yeah, what do you got?

Speaker 16 (33:11):
Well, I mean, this whole situation, Brady, I'm sure you
guys had heard, Like I there was stuff floating around
two months ago, just like like with the NFL people
that I talked to that Like, and you guys know
how this works, right, Like a lot of times people
will start to kind of circle around jobs that they

(33:31):
think are going to be open and and there's a
lot of crossover at college and pro and everything else.
You know, one thing that I this isn't all serious,
because one thing that I had heard two months ago
was that the administration there was sick of the school's
reputation being dragged through the MUDs, and that they felt

(33:52):
like the football program had really like leaned in to
the cheating allegations and leaned in on all the stuff
that had happened there, and there were people there that
were sick of it. And so you know, I had
heard again like a couple of months, it's probably middle
of October, that like there was a possibility that job

(34:12):
was going to come open.

Speaker 13 (34:14):
Now I don't know how much of it related to this.

Speaker 16 (34:16):
I hadn't heard about this stuff specifically like involving Sharon,
but you know, the idea that a change might be
coming I think had been been like at least discussed
and coaching circles for a little while.

Speaker 12 (34:30):
Now, you know.

Speaker 13 (34:32):
And again, whether or not like this.

Speaker 16 (34:35):
Just gave Michigan reason to do it, or this is
the root of the whole thing, I'm not sure, But
I mean, I I don't know. You look at the
last couple of years there, and you would have to
think they would have to hit reset and maybe you know,
go outside the family all together to take.

Speaker 17 (34:50):
Their next tire.

Speaker 6 (34:53):
Yeah, it seems like it.

Speaker 9 (34:54):
Do you think do you think it was Albert Do
you think it was more I mean, just from your
your perspective of what you've heard that was circulating around.
Do you feel like this was more geared towards getting
from underneath Charon Moore as the coach or was this
like this is like this is a bad situation and

(35:17):
the school was more so forced into the actions that
they had to take because I just feel like the
timing of it all is, you know, it's a horrible
time for Michigan to have to look for a new
a new head coach.

Speaker 13 (35:34):
Yeah, I mean I wonder Levar's it a little both,
you know what I mean, Like.

Speaker 17 (35:38):
I I don't know.

Speaker 13 (35:40):
I mean, like they obviously had like you know, NCAA issues,
and you know, in twenty twenty three, and we're very
defiant you know about about about ever you know, having
to ever accepting sanctions or firing people over and everything else.
So like, I mean, like there's the question is impossible

(36:04):
to answer here is how would the school have reacted
if Michigan were twelve and h right now and going
to the you know, twelve and oh thirteen to oh
twelve and one whatever going into the playoffs, you know
what I mean, Like, would the reaction from Michigan have
been different if they'd just beatn Ohio State, you know,
two weeks ago. We'll never know the answer to that,
you know, but I certainly think, like you know, these situations,

(36:28):
you know, schools are a lot quicker to move on
from people when they're not winning, you know, and they
certainly weren't winning the last two years at the same
clib that they've been winning the three years before that.

Speaker 10 (36:40):
Yeah, they're eleven and six in conference play, and I
think it was sixteen and eight or something like that
in the last two years, actually fifteen and eight if
you take away the one win when he took over
as head coach.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
For that game.

Speaker 10 (36:52):
One thing it's interesting I keep hearing people talk about
it is like, oh, they pulled it over the recruits heads.
They didn't want to, you know, lose out on the
early side and do this beforehand. I do hope people
realize the early commits who had just signed their national
letter of intent, they do have the ability penalty free
to request the release, so they don't have to be

(37:15):
forced out to out of the year.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
They're breaking that agreement. It's not like.

Speaker 10 (37:19):
People can say that, But the reality is those kids
who just sign can still choose to go elsewhere if
they don't like the head coach.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
They're not stuck with Michigan for the next year or whatever.

Speaker 13 (37:28):
That was Julian saying, right, yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah, I
mean Julian saying signed with Alabama. Actually I think went
through practice with Alabama for like leading up to their
bowl game a two years ago, and then and then
he hopped in the transfer portal and wound up Ohio State.
So like, it doesn't give you I mean, maybe like

(37:50):
with those with those kids, it gives them a chance to,
like a couple of weeks to sit down and say, okay,
like can we make this work somehow. It does maybe
give them that opportunity, but it definitely doesn't handcuff the
kids the way maybe it would five or ten years
ago from from from leaving if they want to. And
you know, I'd say it's probably Christmas shopping season for

(38:12):
some college coaches right now looking at that Michigan recruiting class.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Albert Breer with us here on Fox Sports Radio so
let me ask you about the news, which it feels fun,
it's a great story. But the Philip Rivers return to
the Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 6 (38:27):
How did this happen? And had you heard that this
was a.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Possibility at any point during the course of this season,
last season and his relationship with Shane Steichen.

Speaker 13 (38:37):
Yeah, I mean I would start here like it's.

Speaker 17 (38:40):
Born of a really tough situation.

Speaker 13 (38:41):
You know, I don't think anybody wanted to see, you know,
Daniel Jones go through what he went through, and he's
already playing on a fracture of tibula and it sucks
like seeing him pop as Achilles. And then for Riley
Leonard to you know, like have tweaked his knee. It's
sort of like that was you know, that was kind
of like the okay, like we have to look at
our options, which provoked the conversation on Sunday night between

(39:03):
Shane Stigling and their general manager Chris Ballard.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
You know.

Speaker 13 (39:07):
The interesting thing about it was they were they were
actually delayed, you know, out of Jacksonville. There were some
mechanical issues in the plane and so they had to
bring in a new plane and all that, and that
gave them. You know, that gave you know, Shane and
Chris a chance to kind of discuss their options right
then and there. And you know, Shane talks to Phillip

(39:27):
twice a week. You know, they actually exchanged film. Philip
runs a version of Shane's offense, you know, with the
high school that he that that he coaches in Alabama,
and so it was a very very close relationship there.

Speaker 17 (39:40):
They were together for eight years with.

Speaker 13 (39:42):
The Chargers, and you know, Shane just said to Chris like,
what about Rivers? And Chris was like, do you think
he would do it? And that was sort of what
sparked it, and you know they called him when they
got back to Indianapolis. Philip said, well, you know, like,
let me sleep on it and know if I if
I feel I feel okay about it, maybe I'll fly

(40:03):
up there and see, you know, and throw it around
for you a little bit. So that happened on Monday,
and then you know they talked for a couple hours
after after after he after he threw for them, and
you know they could just see the passion that Philip
still has for football and that that that's what I think, guys, is.

Speaker 17 (40:21):
Really cool about this.

Speaker 13 (40:22):
You know, like I I think for Philip, like you know,
I he's really happy in his life and coaching high
school football down there and getting to coach his sons
that I know was a dream of his forever and
ever and ever he played for his dad, and so
like he would never want to walk away from from
from his opportunity to do that. But he doesn't have
to now.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
You know.

Speaker 13 (40:42):
It's like he was signing with a team for a
full year, like we'd be talking about like a you know,
a six seven months commitment, and that's not what this is.
So you know, this is an opportunity for him to
go and do something he loves. And I think that's
coming from a really pure place, Like it's just that
there's just a chance to play football again, you know,
and you know, and he helps the Cults out and

(41:04):
with a difficult situation. I don't think anybody knows what
this is going to look like, you know, after the
first time he gets hit, or what it's going to
look like coming out of a game day if he
does start on Sunday. But you know, for right now,
I think it.

Speaker 17 (41:16):
Is a really really cool story.

Speaker 5 (41:21):
I'll take it.

Speaker 9 (41:22):
Let me ask you this, Abe the Pittsburgh Steelers and
the Ravens. They seem to be two teams that mirror
each other in so many different ways, and they have
not limited that mirroring this season in terms of their struggles.
The Steelers get a much needed win against their divisional
rival and the Ravens fall to under five hundred. We

(41:46):
hear a lot of speculation and a lot of criticisms
and a lot of conclusions that get drawn about the
Pittsburgh Steelers. I just wonder how how did they quiet
it down by being able to win against the Ravens
or is that just you know, is that just for now?

Speaker 5 (42:03):
And what does that mean for Horrball and the Ravens?

Speaker 9 (42:06):
Shuitain, If you're saying that about Mike Tomlin, should you
have in the same conversation about Horrorball.

Speaker 13 (42:13):
Yeah, I mean, I think I think those conversations are
sort of when you've been in one place for this long, right, Like,
I think they're ongoing conversations in both places, and we've
and I think we they pop up periodically, right Like
we've heard it with Harbaugh a couple times over the
last five years or so when he's been up for
a contractor when they aren't winning at the same level

(42:35):
that they're used to winning at. It's like, is this
time And that's just what happens. I think when you've
been in one place for this long, you know, I mean,
Tomlin's in his nineteenth year in Pittsburgh. Harbaugh is in
his eighteenth year in Baltimore, and right now it doesn't
look like both those teams are going to make the playoffs.
It looks like it's probably going to be one or
the other, whichever one wins the AFC North, Right, So,

(42:58):
you know, like I think that those those are natural
conversations that that are going to happen in those places.
And and sure, you know, like the more Pittsburgh wins,
the less you're going to hear about Mike Tomlin's future,
you know. But I think I think in both cases,
like it's sort of an ongoing conversation. I think what

(43:20):
I think what kind of exacerbates it a little bit
in Pittsburgh, What makes it a little bit more of
of of of of pressing topic. I would say in Pittsburgh,
it's just the age of the roster, right, Like, so
like if you look at the Steelers roster, you know,
they're relying on a lot of older guys. You know,
guys like Aaron Rodgers and TJ. Watt and Jalen Ramsey

(43:42):
and Cam Hayward. There are a lot of older guys
on that roster. They aren't going to be around for
very much longer. And so you know, like there's like
a roster reset that's coming, and we don't know if
that's going to be after this year, after next year,
but it's coming. And whenever that comes, that would be
sort of a natural breaking point, right like, so that
will be the point where you say, if you're the Steelers,

(44:03):
do we want to keep building with Mike Tomlin?

Speaker 16 (44:05):
And if you're Mike tom and.

Speaker 13 (44:06):
You're saying, do I want to go through a rebuild
with this team again? And so, you know, I think
that that's that natural point is coming in Pittsburgh. It's
probably a little less so in Baltimore. But with both guys,
you know, if one or the other, I assume one
of the other is going to miss the playoffs, then
obviously the temperature gets turned up a little bit on
that discussion.

Speaker 10 (44:28):
Albert, you know, and looking at just the landscape right
now of the NFL, I I guess I'm one of like,
what do you foresee is the biggest issue as we
head into the playoffs?

Speaker 3 (44:40):
And maybe it's more I'm just talking a big picture.
You know.

Speaker 10 (44:43):
It seems like every time this time of year, it
could be an officiating issue, it could be something else
that you're kind of keeping an eye on. I don't
know if it's something in regard in regards to just
like the TV media rights and like the streaming services
coming in. Like what kind of big picture things is
the NFL kind of looking at as we end the
regular season headed into the postseason.

Speaker 13 (45:03):
I think officiating is a big one, Brady, you know,
I I I know there's sense to it. The official
CBA is up and at the end of May, and
so a new collective bargaining agreement needs to be hammered
out there. We remember the ref lockout of you know
now thirteen fourteen years ago, you know, so you know,

(45:26):
I think that a global look at how the game
is officiated is coming, you know again, And maybe this
isn't the time when it happens, but I think that
there's enough noise around the way that the game is officiated.
And you know, obviously, if this is such a huge
topic of conversation. And this is just like I mean,

(45:46):
I look on social media, I look, you know, among
my friends and you know, my non work life, like
I and then you know, just talking to people inside
the NFL, everyone is talking about it, you know what
I mean. So like I think officiate would be one.
You know. Then I think, like the television deals are
looming and eighteen games is looming. But a lot of

(46:10):
that stuff that the thing is like a lot of
that stuff, you know, like that that we talk about there,
Like some of it can't happen without the union, and
right now the union ism fluxed. So I'd say there's
a bunch of big picture of things that are happening now.
It's the leadership in the union. It's like you said,
the TV deals, it's the officiating. Those would be some

(46:32):
of the things I think coming out of the season
that we'll all be talking about.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
Albert Brier joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, senior
NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB.

Speaker 6 (46:42):
We talked about this a little bit on Monday.

Speaker 5 (46:45):
Yeah, the Chiefs look washed.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
It look they look like a shell of themselves. There's
no threat, there's no bite, there's no scare. And I
just wonder if hey, listen, they missed the playoffs and
it appears with got I think a twelve percent chance
of making it, but it appears like it's done this potentially
with Travis Kelsey stuff out there. Could it also mean

(47:08):
the end of Andy Reid in Kansas City.

Speaker 17 (47:13):
I'd be surprised. I think.

Speaker 13 (47:19):
I think Andy still genuinely loves it. And I think
Andy's one of these lifers. And I think we've all
you know, met and been around these people like I
I think Andy, you know, in a good way, is
one of these guys who has a hard time envisioning
himself not going to work and having a team.

Speaker 17 (47:37):
To work with every day, you know.

Speaker 12 (47:40):
And so I think.

Speaker 13 (47:42):
For that reason, like he's going to be like Belichick.
I think, you know, he probably coaches into his seventies,
you know, And I and I don't think like his
passion for it changes.

Speaker 12 (47:54):
Now.

Speaker 13 (47:56):
Are they going to have to look at a few
things based on the way this season is going, Yes,
Like scheam wise, roster wise, like if things don't turn
over the next four weeks and they don't get in
the playoffs and make another run, you know, they are
going to have to, you know, take a hard look
at all that stuff, because I do think there's a
natural pressure that comes with having a quarterback like Patrick

(48:17):
Mahomes where it's like, you know, we need to continue
the field, you know, a championship operation around this guy,
and you know, keep this guy, keep to to keep
this guy happy, and keep this guy where where where
you know, keep to keep this guy content and being achieved. So,
you know, I think there are a ton of like

(48:37):
big picture things that they're gonna that that that that
they're going to, you know, like have to address when
they get to the end of the season if things
don't turn. But it's hard for me to envision a
scenario where Andy says, Yep, that's it, I'm walking away.
And I certainly don't think that this would be any
sort of situation where they would fire him.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
Albert Breer, Senior NFL reported lead Content Strategies.

Speaker 5 (49:01):
At the MMQB.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Get them on X at Albert Breer, maybe, you know,
just last last thoughts on Ohio State following that difficult
loss in the Big Ten champions did.

Speaker 5 (49:11):
You foresee that coming? I mean, I have a.

Speaker 13 (49:15):
I appreciate your tone there I I think I said
to you guys last week that like, all we needed
to do was get seventeen points and we'd be okay.
And did I say that I was?

Speaker 10 (49:27):
You said that you were right, Albert, that's seventeen point
you were, You were on the you were right, just
on the wrong side, on the wrong side of the.

Speaker 13 (49:35):
Seventeen points would have done it. I still I'm still
a little baffled by, you know, running two and three
tight ends out there and taking you know, you know,
taking first team All American receivers off the field. But
you know, I I think there were there was a
lot going on with the program last week, for sure,

(49:56):
and there's a lot that they were sorting through and hopefully,
I mean, look in all serious, in all in all seriousness,
like I have never seen anything like what Kurt Signette
pulled has pulled.

Speaker 16 (50:10):
Off at Indiana.

Speaker 5 (50:11):
It is incredible.

Speaker 13 (50:13):
It is freaking unbelievable, like and it's not just happened
this quickly too, like you know, and then he sort
of called his shot two years ago. I mean, I
thought what they did last year was amazing, but I figured,
all right, like now it'll level off a little bit
and for them to then take this to another I mean,

(50:35):
it's just it's absolutely mind blowing.

Speaker 12 (50:37):
I mean, he is.

Speaker 13 (50:40):
He has done an unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable job.

Speaker 17 (50:44):
I mean I I personally like I had an NFL
this is amazing.

Speaker 13 (50:49):
So I had to answer, i mean, answer a mail
bag question yesterday, right, and somebody asked me, like, wohl
Kurt Signetti work in the NFL?

Speaker 3 (50:58):
Right?

Speaker 13 (50:58):
Like, So I I figured I'd ask some guys who
work like on the college scouting trail, like some college scouts,
like like what you know, like like how they saw
Signetty because obviously they're you know, they're scouting their players
and they've they've been around.

Speaker 16 (51:12):
The program and everything else.

Speaker 13 (51:14):
And one of them said to me, like, so, what
would have worked in the NFL? And somebody said to me, well,
he's like all the pluses and minus is he's.

Speaker 17 (51:23):
A carbon copy of Nick Saban.

Speaker 13 (51:26):
And this scout said this so casually, and I'm like,
oh my god.

Speaker 17 (51:31):
You just compared him to Nick Saban.

Speaker 13 (51:33):
But you look at the job he's done, and he
deserves all the credit that he's got.

Speaker 17 (51:37):
But I that just blew me away.

Speaker 13 (51:39):
And I know there's an easy comparison there because he
worked for Nick. But like he said, like he's like
Nick in so many different ways, And yeah, it's just
incredible what they've done.

Speaker 10 (51:49):
No, it's funny. Tom Rin always said the same thing
I said. When you sat down with them and you've
talked to both, obviously a number of times he goes
he's Nick Saban because that's how And honestly, like I
telling these guys like he has them so locked in
and so process oriented that it's it's hard to get
an appreciation for until you're on the field and you

(52:10):
see the differences between the teams they go up against.
I mean, they do not look like they would be
able to compete with the likes of an Ohio State
or some of these other bigger programs. And when you
see those the way those kids play, how well they're coached,
how well they do their job, and they just they
continually do all the things that they're asked to do
time and time again versus the best opponents. It's incredible.

(52:33):
It really is incredible to watch. I was going to
ask you quickly because I know.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Joy to your point.

Speaker 13 (52:40):
One of these scouts that I talked to, like just
to what you're saying. He said, he's like it's like
a cult and like a good life.

Speaker 10 (52:51):
I'm not going to go there, right, That's that's a
great that's a great line. Okay, the coach and I yeah, maybe, yeah,
maybe it'd be more than what has it been eighty
years since they want to outright Big Ten championship. I
was gonna ask you quickly on the coaching front, because
you didn't mention Chris Sinnetti and the potential of him

(53:12):
coaching at the next level. There's a lot of talk
around Marcus fram and there's a lot of talking specifically
about the New York Giants. We both know there's ties
there to the Notre Dame program, but what about some
other jobs too. He's been one of the names that
has kind of serviced not just for that job, but
other potential openings. It feels like teams look at him
and they don't give him that like, well, he's a

(53:32):
college football coach. Can he do at the next level?
Like he's not getting that tag or people aren't looking
at them that way.

Speaker 13 (53:39):
Yeah, I would say, like I would say, part of
this Brady is like a result of like the fact
that there aren't a ton of obvious candidates this year,
you know, in other words, like last year at this point,
I think I said this two guys last week. But
like last year at this point, I think, you know,
I would have been I would have told you, and
not that this would have maybe a but I would

(54:00):
have told you like Ben Johnson and Mike Rabel will
get jobs, right like.

Speaker 17 (54:05):
I would have felt very.

Speaker 13 (54:06):
Very confident saying that, And you know, obviously it wound up.
You know that both those guys got their jobs.

Speaker 17 (54:13):
And I think every year you have a couple of.

Speaker 13 (54:15):
Guys like that, and this year you really don't, you know.
So I think it's forced the Giants and the Titans
and whoever else.

Speaker 17 (54:23):
Is going to be out there to start to look.

Speaker 13 (54:26):
Under every rock, and that means being open minded to
maybe it's not an offensive guy being open minded to
you know, maybe there is somebody in the college ranks.
And I do think for Marcus Freeman, you know, one
thing that helps is the success of guys like Dan
Campbell and Mike Brabel, right like, and that Marcus was
a former player, you know, he did play in the NFL,

(54:48):
but it was brief, you know, and that an injury
cut that short, but he did play in the NFL,
and he does have like that sort of gravitace, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 17 (54:58):
Like, so, I think because.

Speaker 13 (55:00):
Of the success of guys like Rabel and Campbell, you
look at like, okay, like, how did those guys do it?
It wasn't necessarily be by being a guru on one.

Speaker 17 (55:10):
Side of the ball or the other. It came from
being a really smart.

Speaker 13 (55:15):
Guy, a guy who could command respect right away, and
a guy who could be a CEO of a program,
you know.

Speaker 12 (55:21):
And I think, you know.

Speaker 13 (55:22):
From that perspective, Marcus checks a lot of those boxes,
you know. And so I think that's why why you
would look at like a Marcus Freeman if you're if
you're an NFL team. And I don't have any indication
that that he's leaving Notre Dame, you know, like, but
but I do think like he he has, you know,

(55:42):
positioned himself in a way where, you know, his success
at Notre Dame and his ability to captivate people and
run a program and you know, and and and and
succeed in the modern era, which is a lot more
like the NFL at the college level, I think has
at least drawn the interest of NFL folks where they're

(56:03):
looking at it and saying, could this guy be our
version of Dan Campbell or Mike Rable.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
Yeah, well, Abe always appreciate it. You can get him
on x at Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter, lead content
strategist at the MMQB, and he's got thoughts on baseball
randomly in the middle of the middle of the big
baseball Yeah, big, big, big fan of the third base position.

Speaker 6 (56:25):
Albert will do it again next week.

Speaker 12 (56:28):
I beg that there.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
He is, all right, agreed.

Speaker 5 (56:31):
They got the playoffs. You know, they did this last year.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
So that's true.

Speaker 5 (56:35):
Even make it to the to the championship game.

Speaker 9 (56:37):
So and they're the best team in the college football playoffs.

Speaker 5 (56:41):
So he's still don't get the last laugh.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
They have the best odds they do.

Speaker 10 (56:44):
So as far as the game's coming up, you know,
if they can do what they did last year, if
you're making their school a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
Speaking of money, have you heard about this trainer games.

Speaker 6 (01:00:20):
What is going on here, like the community.

Speaker 5 (01:00:23):
That's poor communication, Jonas, it's poor.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
It's ridiculous what I understand what's happening.

Speaker 10 (01:00:31):
It's always Jonas, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:00:35):
I'm trying to make the best of the situation. You
ain't even coming in and communicating.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
We're trying to get lined up, got a big hour,
so make sure everything's locked in and good to go.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
That's weird.

Speaker 5 (01:00:46):
That was weird.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
That's a strike?

Speaker 16 (01:00:49):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
Come on man, all right?

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
So we uh Thursday morning, this stay tradition here on
the show. We have ourselves a little something called coach Speak.
Patrick's our executive producer, has found sound bites from coaches
in and around the world of football over the past
few days. We are going to hear the sound from
these coaches and then we are going to decipher what

(01:01:14):
they're actually saying as opposed to what coach speak they're giving.

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
You in front of the media.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
So Patrick, Patty speaks in coach speak. What do we
got this week?

Speaker 8 (01:01:23):
All right, welcome to coach Speak, everybody. I'm your host,
Patty sweek. But it is your answers.

Speaker 5 (01:01:30):
What was.

Speaker 9 (01:01:32):
Are you okay?

Speaker 10 (01:01:33):
Okay, sorry, I got super excited for Patty sweet Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
May have like sort of the cough in the middle
of that, but I'm good.

Speaker 5 (01:01:44):
I was gonna say.

Speaker 8 (01:01:45):
The answers are what I seek, but medical help me
is something.

Speaker 5 (01:01:49):
I'm good.

Speaker 14 (01:01:50):
I'm good, I'm good. Oh, We're glad.

Speaker 8 (01:01:56):
You're okay, Brady, welcome, Let's get let's go right into
the So it's not medical attention here, but the first
head coach I got for us is Bengals head coach
Zach Taylor. He was talking about why he still has
hope going forward for his team and actually give a
listen to why he has hope.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
I just saw how we played.

Speaker 18 (01:02:13):
Like there's nobody that can watch that game and say
they didn't think we had a chance to win that.
And that's what I believe. That's why I believed every
time we walked on the field this year. I think
everybody's watched every game we've played has seen these games
come down to this man, and it's disappointing that this
one got away from us. But but we got to
find a way to respond next week with a huge
home game.

Speaker 8 (01:02:32):
All right, And that was mister Taylor on the mic there.
So first one I'm going to go is our reigning
leader from last week, mister Jonas Knox.

Speaker 14 (01:02:43):
You get to go for me.

Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
I thought it was var with all the way.

Speaker 6 (01:02:48):
Oh yeah, that is true.

Speaker 5 (01:02:50):
Wait wait a minute, yeah, rating winner. I thought it
was far Yeah last week, that.

Speaker 9 (01:02:57):
Was not the raining winner. It was Jonas. Go ahead, Jonas,
this is what you were preparing for.

Speaker 5 (01:03:03):
Go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
So Zach Taylor is basically saying, look, our season's over
and if We're being honest. It was over about a
month ago, and maybe longer than that. There was a
loud shutting sound behind me, and that was the coffin
on our twenty twenty five playoff chances. It just closed
in the snow at rich Stadium in a really fun

(01:03:26):
game to watch. But when our quarterback throws back to
back interceptions on back to back plays, and he's done
it other times in his career, that i't to tell
you exactly where things are headed. T Higgins might have
another concussion. Trey Hendrickson has got a hip from the
Civil War that he's dealing with, and we're looking around
going We've got no shot, and at this point, I'm

(01:03:47):
just trying to save my job.

Speaker 8 (01:03:48):
Next question, ooh, all right, okay, well, you know what,
I'm ready for a counter on this var he gets go. Now, hey, Brady, Brady,
I'm I'm giving you a breather first before you go.

Speaker 14 (01:04:02):
I'm giving you time.

Speaker 5 (01:04:05):
Yeah, give the time is good.

Speaker 9 (01:04:07):
And that's time that well the Cincinnati Bengals ran out
of And you know, if I'm telling you guys, what
I really feel here is I do feel like we
can win every game. I do feel like we should
have a chance to win every game. Keeping it real
with y'all. But you know what, this was a bad one.
It was a bad look. But I still feel like

(01:04:28):
we can win every game. We're going to continue to
try to win every game. But you know, things happen,
and when they happen, you got to adapt and you
have to adjust, especially when you didn't know that it
was going.

Speaker 5 (01:04:43):
To happen and then it did happen.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 5 (01:04:47):
Okay, And I apply that to Mike and I apply
that to my current situation.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
You gotta play to win.

Speaker 9 (01:04:55):
Even when you feel like you're not in a situation
to play to win what I'm saying, Okay, var.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
You know where I stand on this, all right?

Speaker 8 (01:05:03):
So yeah, man, well I want to know where you
stand on this one, mister Brady Quinn, because you're up next.

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:05:10):
I mean, it's always so long since you heard the
sound last. But you know what that sounded like. It
sounded like Zach Taylor was trying to one make a
case for keeping its job, but also like he was
talking the college football playoff Committee.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
Yeah, I think he's gotten too tied up and trying
to politic and.

Speaker 10 (01:05:23):
Make a case for why the Bengals should still be alive,
which I believe they are still mathematically is still alive
at this point. I'm not sure how much longer that's
gonna last, but he's doing all he can to make
a case for the fact that don't lose hope, the
Bengals still have a shot in all of this. Anyone
who saw this play now with Joe Burrow understands just
how good this team can be. And that reminds me

(01:05:45):
to make sure that you guys realize we haven't had
Joe Burrow for a big part of this season. So
it's another reason you shouldn't fire me and cast me
off to a life of just Skyline Chilean Greaters for.

Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
The rest of the season.

Speaker 10 (01:05:58):
So don't fire My ass was shot of making it
into the playoff. Whether I'm talking to a committee or
whoever else, it is all right.

Speaker 8 (01:06:06):
The verdict is absolutely in And because the reference was
Skyline Chili, Brady Quinn.

Speaker 6 (01:06:12):
On the board, Twins Whens, You're welcome.

Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
All right, now, you're welcome.

Speaker 6 (01:06:18):
Thank you for letting me play my drop.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
Oh my lord, yeah, Mark didn't play those last week
and we didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
Get any of that.

Speaker 13 (01:06:29):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 10 (01:06:31):
So like we were, we were working in church last week,
Mark played, Mark played at once. I don't think he
was scared to play it again because he didn't think
that was like an actual drop.

Speaker 6 (01:06:41):
Mark Mark about his phone was turned out.

Speaker 8 (01:06:45):
Oh my god. All right, well number two here we
got the second head coach. So Jaggs head coach William
Cohen was talking about apparently the respect is not coming
for him and his team, but he said, that's the
beauty of it there, and uh, let's figure out what
the beauty is uh here.

Speaker 5 (01:07:06):
And ain't coming.

Speaker 7 (01:07:06):
You know that it's not so and that's the beauty
of it and that's totally fine. And uh, you know,
it's one of those things that I think the group
right now, Houston was good for us. I do believe that,
you know, the end of Houston was good for us.
And to know that each game is going to be
a sixty minute football game in our mindset, mentality has

(01:07:27):
to be that way, all.

Speaker 8 (01:07:30):
Right, And going first, well, he got one on the board.
He's going first. Here, break you get to go, let's go, yeah, yes, yes,
that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
Well, le'll we start here with this one I usually
don't get to go first. This is uh, this is
new for me.

Speaker 10 (01:07:47):
I took William Cohen as saying this, okay, Uh, the
Jaguars are just trying to steal the show, all right,
But no one's watching us, No one cares about us.
Everyone thinks we're gonna move to London. Hell of fil
so if you play half our games in London. But
this is a good football team, all right. And this
is a team that I think is gonna surprise a
lot of people and make Duval very proud when the

(01:08:14):
season's all set.

Speaker 6 (01:08:14):
And done solid.

Speaker 14 (01:08:16):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 6 (01:08:17):
Actually, that's a really good Liam Cone impression.

Speaker 3 (01:08:21):
Well there was another reference.

Speaker 10 (01:08:23):
I'm sure you guys didn't actually catch it, so we'll see.

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
It's a deep poll.

Speaker 14 (01:08:30):
Well, we're gonna find out.

Speaker 8 (01:08:32):
And you know what I see, Well, I see Jonas
Knox because he's up next.

Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
Hey man, listen, it's been a weird year for me.
I started off the season saying, Duval, why are you
talking like that? An impression? And so like I started
off the year saying that when I go off on
a ran, I sound like real coach JB from that
Netflix show. And then like the only guy we got

(01:08:57):
that's in the media that's got our back is the
one and only Pete Priss Go. We got a bunch
of haters out there that don't give us the time
of day. And on top of that, we got an
owner that's got a mustache that looks like Roley Fingers,
the old baseball player. And I had my life threatened
by Robert Sala earlier this year. So we know we
ain't gonna get no respect. But we'll be in the postseason.
Y'all come out and swim in our swimming pool that

(01:09:18):
we got in the top deck there because we played
most of our games in London.

Speaker 14 (01:09:23):
It's pretty good there. Jonas well. Var you get the
final word on this one. You what you guy for us?

Speaker 9 (01:09:30):
Yeah, it ain't coming for us cuz you know, I
knew that when I did fay Zercees at the fifty
yard line and he wanted to throw fisticuffs at the
end of the game, I knew we was going to
have to fight even when the.

Speaker 5 (01:09:42):
Games were over.

Speaker 9 (01:09:43):
And speaking of that pool that we got, start thinking
to myself the other day, ain't nobody gonna be able
to get all that body here that comes out of
people when they get in that water either. So you
got to make sure you're worried about that too. You
don't want to get other people's body here. It's on
you when you jump in our water. But you know what,
we're in Jacksonville, we're in Duval, and we like to

(01:10:07):
keep it dirty because ain't nobody coming and with no
respect for us, that's what.

Speaker 8 (01:10:14):
And after a quick deliberation here, I know who wins
this round, Varr came up quick with that one.

Speaker 14 (01:10:21):
You're on the board deal.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
Yeah, I'm gonna take it.

Speaker 5 (01:10:23):
I'm gonna take it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
You take it.

Speaker 5 (01:10:26):
It was a situation and all that's not my way.

Speaker 3 (01:10:30):
That's a fine. That was awful and you're gonna give
him that stop me.

Speaker 9 (01:10:37):
I thought that was pretty good. Actually, I thought that
was pretty good. I mean't think about it. How much
body he just he just pulled off what I just did.
This is the same thing.

Speaker 5 (01:10:52):
Okay, okay, I use ers. I gave a zers for reference,
I said, slide said xerses.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
You know, which again wasn't really like I felt.

Speaker 9 (01:11:05):
I felt like, oh did you hey, listen, I felt
good about it, thank you, thank you, Patty.

Speaker 14 (01:11:09):
Good about him?

Speaker 5 (01:11:10):
Bar I did. I'll pay your fine on this one.
Don't worry about it.

Speaker 14 (01:11:14):
Let's go.

Speaker 8 (01:11:15):
Okay, all right, well, you know I feel better about
this now, let's go.

Speaker 14 (01:11:20):
Well we got number three on the board, guys.

Speaker 8 (01:11:22):
So Raven's head coach John Harbaugh was talking about the
refs and Isaiah Likely's touchdown which was wiped off in
that game, and John Harbaugh wasn't too pleased about it.

Speaker 14 (01:11:32):
So here's what he said.

Speaker 19 (01:11:33):
Yeah, the explanation was a third foot didn't get down
before the ball came out. That's what they said. I
think to play with I think the Aaron Rodgers play.
I mean, just com of rules here. It's not an
officiating issue. It comes from New York. But you know
when you when you when you're making a catch, you
have to you have to you have to survive the ground.
You know, he didn't survive the ground. He's he's not
down by contact. He was catching. He was catching the

(01:11:54):
ball on the way down with another person. So you guys,
you got to make a catch there and survive the ground.
I don't know why it was ruled where it was
on that one. So all those things, I'm sure we'll
they'll explain to us. But they had plenty of time
to look at and the're the ones who are the
experts on the rules. So that's how it works, all.

Speaker 8 (01:12:10):
Right, Well, how this works here is LaVar, you get
to go first since you won the first point.

Speaker 9 (01:12:14):
Here, can I hear the first part of the interview
one more time because I feel like I heard it wrong.

Speaker 5 (01:12:21):
I feel like I heard it wrong.

Speaker 9 (01:12:22):
But if I heard it right, I'm gonna just make
sure that I keep it short and sweet.

Speaker 5 (01:12:25):
So go ahead.

Speaker 19 (01:12:26):
Yeah, the explanation was a third foot didn't get down
before the ball came out.

Speaker 9 (01:12:29):
All right, stop it right there, stop it right there,
stop it right there. What I was basically trying to
tell y'all is is when we come to play, we
come to play. So next time, just remember this, we're
gonna come pantiless so that we can always, and I

(01:12:50):
mean always execute a third toe down toe tap swag catch.

Speaker 5 (01:12:59):
That's it I got for you.

Speaker 9 (01:13:01):
Down dang, you're trying to get a trinity of toes
down to make the catch and make it legal.

Speaker 5 (01:13:07):
I've never heard of that.

Speaker 14 (01:13:09):
All right, go ahead, Brady, counter CounterPunch for that, Brady.

Speaker 10 (01:13:15):
So so now we have to entertain the third leg.

Speaker 5 (01:13:18):
If I say it likely that's what, that's what the
third toe.

Speaker 10 (01:13:27):
Dang, Okay, it's hard enough for fishes out here. They
got to try to see two foot down in and control.
And now you're asking us to look at these dudes
third third legs when they're trying to get control and.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
Full whole body control and ball in.

Speaker 10 (01:13:44):
I mean, I'm not sure who in New York, all right,
is trying to screw us over. We're just trying to
get back in the playoff race, all right, so don't
hold it against us in our third legs.

Speaker 8 (01:13:56):
Well played, Well played, Brady Jonas what he what do
you got?

Speaker 5 (01:14:00):
His retort?

Speaker 6 (01:14:02):
Well, listen, I mean while these guys are trying to
swim in the mud.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
Here, I'm gonna go ahead and take a different approach,
you know, speaking of third legs, if you want to
find out more and see one in real life, you
can go to Instagram and follow King of the Mammals
on Instagram for all your third legs into.

Speaker 8 (01:14:33):
It's not too soon for who gets the vote on
this one, because.

Speaker 6 (01:14:38):
All right, can I be honest, LeVar.

Speaker 14 (01:14:42):
Won that one, like he really said, We'll actually give
that one to LeVar.

Speaker 3 (01:14:49):
Now we know you're just pandering to the audience. There
is another Pat's up to thirty dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
Fine, but Pat was giving me a participation trophy there
that was not I did not win.

Speaker 6 (01:15:02):
I was dead last.

Speaker 14 (01:15:04):
All, well, we're not a dead last year. On coach speak,
we go.

Speaker 9 (01:15:09):
Probably easier, probably easier to learn to skate with three
toes right right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
You know, that's a great point, bar because every Olympic
dream starts with that first glide. So learn to Skate
USA kids build confidence, strength, and joy on the ice.
Learn to Skate USA offers programs for skaters of all
ages and abilities. Find a program near you it learned
to Skate USA dot com.

Speaker 8 (01:15:36):
Well played, well played. Indeed you earned that point just
because of the read. Now with that said, so we
have Packers head coach Matt Lafleuer. He was talking about
on not knowing what really is a holding call anymore.
He was none too pleased to say this.

Speaker 1 (01:15:54):
You know, officials, I don't think that their jobs are
easy by any stretch.

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
I think it is a difficult job.

Speaker 4 (01:15:59):
But you know, I guess I don't know what holding
is anymore because I thought that was pretty clear and
clear and obvious hold.

Speaker 3 (01:16:08):
But I guess I don't know what that means.

Speaker 8 (01:16:12):
All right, And on the board first, here is the
one the only Missus Jones knocks.

Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
Huh.

Speaker 6 (01:16:19):
I want to talk about holding.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
Why don't you go across the hallway over there and
tell Ben Johnson to come hold this? Okay, because I
heard what he said when he was introduced as Bears
head coach, and I got no further questions that I'll
be answering at this time.

Speaker 3 (01:16:32):
Oh that's pretty strong.

Speaker 14 (01:16:34):
That is pretty strong. Okay, pretty strong, you know what,
Brady counter?

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
Okay, Look, these these officials have got a tough job.

Speaker 10 (01:16:44):
Not only were we asking him to judge these three legs,
these ball bags, whether or not they hit the bounds.
Now it's about holding, holding, holding these other gigantic men
from holding each other.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
It's impossible for these guys to affit ate.

Speaker 10 (01:17:01):
And look, I don't have enough time to watch film
with my perfectly lined up haircut to deal with this.

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
So someone needs to figure this out.

Speaker 14 (01:17:10):
I gotta go get edged up again, I gotta go
get cleaned up.

Speaker 10 (01:17:13):
But figure it out. The third legs and the ball
bags and all the holdings too much?

Speaker 6 (01:17:17):
How often does he get lined up? Do you think
it's gotta be twice a week.

Speaker 10 (01:17:21):
Weekly, bro, that's a weekly routine. Bar what do you
think you've seen his haircut? It's it's very well.

Speaker 9 (01:17:26):
Groomed, it is well kept. Yes, there's a lot of
contention to detail. Uh probably yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:17:36):
Well also var weekly cut?

Speaker 3 (01:17:38):
Well, also var.

Speaker 14 (01:17:38):
What do you think he has to say on this one?

Speaker 3 (01:17:41):
Well?

Speaker 9 (01:17:42):
What exactly the message that I'm trying to put out
there is I don't know what holding is anymore because
I'm married, because I'm in life, and you know what,
I don't matter anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:17:57):
I don't matter anymore, and I want to matter.

Speaker 9 (01:18:00):
And it's just strange to me that I can't get
a call. It's strange to me that I cannot be
held the way that I want to be held. In fact,
I sleep alone, I cry alone, I even scream alone.
And I don't know what holding means anymore. And I

(01:18:23):
need clarity. I need help because I'm an emotional wreck
right now. But we are winning, bitches, So keep it
stepping there you go.

Speaker 8 (01:18:35):
Oh my lord, Oh my goodness, it is so hard
to pick between two right now.

Speaker 14 (01:18:40):
Oh but the verdict pick sticks?

Speaker 20 (01:18:44):
Yeah learned, Yeah, Yeah, I'm not worried.

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
About that. I thought LaVar's was the best. The last
one he was thank you.

Speaker 10 (01:19:02):
It was a toss up the one before because Jonas
came back strong with the counter and Levar's initial might
have won it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
But frame, well, thank you man.

Speaker 5 (01:19:12):
That is look at what laying it down? Oh goodness,
I said that, man, look at what I'm doing.

Speaker 3 (01:19:21):
I'm laying it down.

Speaker 5 (01:19:25):
Dang, dang, it's a really good drop. I would have
never thought said that.

Speaker 6 (01:19:30):
I didn't know you were in ann Arbor. That's interesting.

Speaker 10 (01:19:34):
I always forget how much I enjoy being in person
with LeVar doing shows, because it's just the conversation is
it's it's great, it's the best.

Speaker 6 (01:19:45):
Our conversations are always just about the show.

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
Like it's never that ours are not.

Speaker 5 (01:19:50):
I don't even like talking to Jones.

Speaker 3 (01:19:52):
He doesn't.

Speaker 9 (01:19:55):
I mean, I'd be like sitting there like dang, man,
like please like walk out of the studio.

Speaker 1 (01:20:01):
Like LaVar goes to get coffee and comes back with
no cup, and I'm like, is something I said?

Speaker 6 (01:20:06):
He just doesn't want to talk to me, just no interest.

Speaker 9 (01:20:10):
We just don't have anything to relate to, you know
what I mean, Like I'm with you.

Speaker 5 (01:20:14):
Yes, there's no relating.

Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
No, I'm joking.

Speaker 9 (01:20:17):
That is not true, people out there, that was that
was I'm diverting the attention.

Speaker 5 (01:20:22):
Really, no, because we.

Speaker 9 (01:20:25):
Really talk about a lot of things during our breaks.
And when I say a lot of things, I mean
we talk about a lot of things.

Speaker 3 (01:20:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
Yeah, a lot to chew on, that's for sure. Coming
up next here on two pros and a cup.
