Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is the best of two pros and a couple
Joe with Lamar Arrington rating win and Jonas Knox on
Fox Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
How the hell we feel in here after a long weekend?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
What a weekend?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Huh yeah? Great?
Speaker 4 (00:19):
What a weekend of college football? And now we've got
the NFL adding to the mix this week. It's it's
just been awesome. I'm so happy football is back.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
Can I make a proclamation? I would like to guarantee
you something.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Here on the ARECAU.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
This is the.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Business of guarantees.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
I will guarantee you Florida State will not be in
the top ten when the new rankings come out.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Sure, I'm going to how.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
About that's all guarantee you they won't be the top
twenty five after the college football rankings come out. And
just remind people the college football playoff rankings won't be
out for a while, so that we know for sure
the AP and coaches pull will be out I think today,
and yet they will not be a part of.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
The top twenty five.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I mean kind of.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
I mean they've been pretty impressive if you ask me,
you think so. Yes, it takes an impressive group to
come out and start owing too I mean, it just does.
And and to travel as far as they did to
do it. I mean, man, they've given these teams life.
Shouts out to Bill O'Brien and then to the start
(01:25):
of his career at Boston College, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I mean, they had a good show.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
It was a fun weekend and you got a little
bit of everything, little mixture of everything. You know, a
lot of a lot of underdogs performing well against the spread.
Mother nature kicks some people in the nuts, as Brady
witnessed on Morgantown over the world.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I mean, do we really want to do a recap?
Is this how they want to do it?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Or do it?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Maybe place some some music underneath. It spiced this thing
up a little.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I mean, here we go.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Let's just start off with the number one Georgia Bulldogs
taking Clemson to the matt I think a lot of
people question, right now, where is this Clemson program? What
happened to Dabo Sweeney? The Buckeyes got started off slow
with Akron ended up pulling away. The addition of Will
Howard as the transfer quarterback was seen. However, it was
Jeremiah Smith that stole the show with a couple of
(02:17):
touchdown catches the freshman phenom. We need to keep an
eye on him. Oregon played another tight game as well
versus Idaho. It took him to the end to really
pull away. Dylan Gabriel put up some impressive stats, but
maybe not quite as advertised so far.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But we'll see what they look like in.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Week two of college football as we go on down
the list. Texas took care of business versus Colorado State.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Quinn Ewers was on fire.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Any questions of whether or non Texas is back, you know,
I think they answered those to some degree. Archie Manning
even got some burn time. Looked good as well as
he jumped in there. We go through the list, we
got Oklahoma State was able to poundce South Dakota State.
They looked like they could be a contender in the
Big twelve. Notre Dame took advantage of Texas adem on
(03:02):
the road with a salty defense and a running game
led by Jeremiah Love, the running back who's pretty high
on I mean myself. Let's talk about Penn State, var Fo,
Shi'm in here on your Nitney Lions taking care of
business in Morgantown.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Well, it was a little sloppy like the weather.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
You know, a little bit of bad ball handling here
and there, but after you know, they shored up and
got their sea legs under them. It looked as though
they were able to establish to run play fast defense,
and on offense, they pushed the ball downfield, and I
mean they looked like they could have some guys and
(03:43):
Wallace and.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
What's the other.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Fella's name, Amari Banks.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
There we go, mister, yeah, I got you, I got you.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Moving on.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Tennessee took advantage of Chattanooga sixty nine to three. Nico Mayleava,
their quarterback there, showed out in a big way. He
looked to be the real deal. Remember he was the
guy who supposedly had that nil deal worth what about
eight million dollars or so whatever it was. I don't
know what they're paying.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
On, but it looks like it's pan off Iowa forty
points forty points.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
From well, it's not all the Iowa offense, but the
defense was stout. Kade macnamer was able to throw three
tunies and never two hundred fifty yards. It seemed like
an offensive explosion. Lsuit number thirteen. LSU and USC battled
on Sunday night. It was a great game. Southern Cal, though,
was able to win this thing out. Miller Mosslok fantastic,
as did the wide receivers and an improved defense from
(04:34):
Southern Cal.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
When I was all said and done, y'all, what about
the you U might be back?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Baby cam Wore the number one transfer quarterback this offseason
helped the Miami Hurricanes go into the swamp and pound
the Florida Gators. Billy Navier could be in trouble with
the schedule that they've got this season. Old Miss and
Jackson Dart no big deal, just five touchdowns over four
and yards passing in the first half vers Furman. They
cruised to win seventy six to nothing Kansas State led
(04:59):
by Avery Johnson who.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Threw for over one hundred and fifty yards.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
A couple of tunnies, but they took care of ut
Martin forty one to six.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Michigan.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
A tight one ross Fresido State till the second half.
They pull away in the fourth quarter. That's Davis Warning
gets to start. However, again still a salty defense. Will
Johnson with a pick six on that one. Bama's Bama
sixty feet enough versus Western Kentucky. Jalen Milrose showed out
in a small sample size and another wide receiver keeping
on Ryan Williams, there are a couple of receptions for
(05:27):
one hundred and thirty nine yards and two touchdowns. Oklahoma
cruised to beat Temple fifty one to three, Arizona sixty
one to thirty nine over in New Mexico, maybe a
more competitive game than they thought a team at their
wide receiver. There are ten receptions, three hundred yards and
four touchdowns, a school record. Kansas cruises to beat Lindenwood
forty eight to three, Missoo fifty one to nothing over
(05:50):
Missouri State. Excuse me, Murray State and NC State beats
Western Carolina in second half, pulling away there to beat
them thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
To twenty one.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
In Utah, cam Risen back for a seventh year over
turn and fifty yards passing five touchdowns forty nine to
nothing over Southern Utah.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And we already know what happened in Ireland.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Don't need to recap that.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
There it is. That's how it's done.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Put that in your recap pipe and smoke it everybody.
That's how it's done. That's a week one recap.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
That is a recap. Now, hell yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Hell yeah, now I do, because you had some boots
on the ground in Morgantown.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
What the hell was that? Seem like we that was
one of the coolest college atmospheres.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I have ever been a part of. I mean, the
people there in Morgantown said this. There wasn't as much
hype around this, you know season, and really this team
since going back to the Gino Smith Tevon Austin, Bruce
Irving Tavon and Bruce, you know, both were able to
come onto the set. Gino's too busy getting ready for
the season. But you know, you got a sense for
(06:59):
the excitement that they have because of how they finished
the season, and it was a surprising season. Last year,
I think West Virginia was slated to the I don't
know if it was finished last but you know, everyone
thought that they would played poor last year, Neil Brown
would get fired, and they turn around have a nine
one season. They really surprised a lot of folks and
build up this optimism. I got to be honest though,
(07:21):
when I was watching the tape towards the end of
the year, when I turned on the videotape, I was like,
they've kind of planned some poor opponents. I really wasn't
high on this team, was more curious to see what
they'd look like. They lost some pieces, in particular Zach Frazier,
who moved on to the NFL level.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I just wasn't sure what to expect.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
And going based off last year's game versus Penn State,
you know, they they weren't.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Able to stop Drew Aller and same thing showed out
this year.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
All are a few big, you know, big TD passes
that the storyline was more of the offense of Penn
State and what it would look like, which we can
get in that at some point, but that atmosphere was
incredible and they showed out for their team and you know,
as LeVar touched on, it was sloppy for both teams
I think to start off, but then it, you know,
slowly Penn State started to pull away, just with some
(08:09):
big plays, which was something that you know, you didn't
see a lot from Penn State. I think they had
what two plays over fifty yards in this game, which
was they had like six all last year.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It was just like in the first half.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
So it was pretty remarkable to see how a coach
can kind of transform your perception of a team and
help out a player who's got a lot of ability
but maybe hasn't showed it quite as much that was
on display. But Morgantown was incredible. I mean the MGK
concert and everything else that we had kind of going
on there was unlike any venue we've ever been to
(08:41):
to date. It was that crazy, and there's people everywhere
everywhere around the stadium, in the parking lot, tale and
just everything. The set it was absolutely nuts.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
What was the delay like, Well, that was there was
a lot to it.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
So I'll take you behind the scenes.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
So our set that's down in the stadium, it's small,
and it actually collapses and then rolls. So once we
get done, we jump off as fast as possible. They
collapse it and roll it away, so none of the
players potentially get hurt since.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You're usually in one of the end zones.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Well, right before we come on, a half liner was
standing under it to get in the shade.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Because it was so hot and he was sweating profusely.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
So I stand more closer to the field, realizing at
some point they're gonna, you know, pump this thing and
it's gonna expand up and then and they're gonna roll
it back into.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Place closer to the field. Well, liner doesn't see it.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I guess they didn't have any pocket presence here, and
the top of the set actually hit him in the
forehead and so he gashes his forehead.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
So he's bleeding.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
We're trying to find a cutman on the sideline and
meanwhile he's like, I'm not gonna come on arias I'm bleeding,
and they're like, yeah, probably probably shouldn't. So as we jump
on set, they go, hey, we're probably gonna either stay here.
But after we're done, we got to run to the
outside set. There's lightning, which when you when you're like,
all right, there's a storm rolling and why would we
(10:09):
go to the outside set. Everyone keeps reassuring us that
it's grounded and that we will not get struck by
lightning or anything else for that matter. The problem was
as this storm rolled in when we were outside, is
the wind. I mean, we had all sorts of stuff
that was being like pulled up off the ground. Like
I honestly thought I was gonna getting pailed by a
(10:30):
pop up tent.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
It was.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It was that crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
It was that wild, and at one point, like you
could kind of see from the clip that went viral,
like we I looked over at Urban and I looked
at the weather, and I was like, man, I said, Herbs,
that looks like it's like a tornado, you know, cloud,
like a funnel cloud. Then he just looks at me
and shook his head and finally summoned at LA. He's
probably sitting back on a nice, warm, sunny day and
(10:53):
just perfect weather. It's like, huh, that looks pretty bad.
Maybe we should have the guys go inside. So that
even took place, but it was a good like thirty
minutes of trying to figure out how.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
The hell we're gonna have to broadcast something through that.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
But the house lioner, now, yeah, they actually were like,
then stitch them up. I don't know if he ended
up having the stitches or not, because it was a
pretty decent little gash, but they end up taping him
up and I had to like put make him stuff over.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
It was still bleeding through though.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Dang, that's crazy crazy. I wish they would have had
y'all on though.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I'll tell you that I was trying to stick in there,
but I had to switch up.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Man, I had that was the case. My wife might
have been collected insurance policy at this point.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
So well, I'm glad you're safe, bro, but for the
sake of us sports fans, it would have been nice
to hear y'all during the delay.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I mean, you saw what it looked like behind us
that I was.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Getting to play by play the whole time too. I
was I would leave.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
I was at least two of my former teammates wing
man by FaceTime, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
So, yeah, it was interesting. I texted Brady because I
saw it. I'm a weather nerd to begin with, and
I saw the clouds in the sky. I was like,
that is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Like I wish I was there.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I'm glad you thought that was I am. They go, oh,
they'll be courtsized, hail coming down.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Wait what?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
And then usually they've they've got these curtains almost that
they'd pull if there's rain, so you're not getting everything
not gonna be dumped on. And I looked over and
the guys like trying to put it on.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
They're like, no, no, you can't go. There's there's lightning
as like.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
So then that was an issue because at some point
if it did rain, we probably would have gotten the
cameras and everything absolutely soaked.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
So it was which it did. Fortunately we were inside
right before it started. And then this week you're Ann
Arbor correct.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
That's right, Michigan Texas a huge game, huge game in
college football.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Yeah, that's a fun one.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
And there may be a another performing act. I won't
disclose anything. That's still finalizing some things, but maybe another performer.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Oh sweet, Yeah, maybe John Paul Morosio. Swing by, Ann Arburn.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
He should, yeah, he should cruise on by and s Hello.
Speaker 1 (13:01):

That's right, Dan.
Speaker 8 (13:21):

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Right now, he is in and so is the NFL season.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Albert Breer, Senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB.
You can get him on x at Albert Breer ab
Happy start of the NFL season. How we're feeling.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
I'm good, I'm good. How you guys doing. I mean
it's really been kind of going on for like six
seven weeks for me. Everybody asked me like this week,
like oh, or things about to get busy for you.
It's like, yeah, I've already been there for about two months.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
But so we hear you.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Trust me. Jonas has been trying to get us fired up.
We're like, dude, football seasons already started. I got to
ask Albert, is that a wild turkey in the background?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
What was that noise?
Speaker 9 (14:19):
Wild turkey? Well, you might hurt my dog a second ago,
but like guy was pulling out of the driveway, I
thought I thought I was still muted for that. Maybe
you gotta hurt that.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
No, you probably need to get your dog checked out
if it's barking.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
You got you got some problems.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. We do have turkey
here though, we do have turkey all over the place.
Actually my cawn't believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Who will be the turkey in tonight? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (14:46):
There you go of there you go the big market,
big market, uh transition there. I I think what we're
gonna see you tonight is you know, chiefs offense that
isn't why isn't quite where it's going to be in
October and November. And what I mean by that is
a lot of their plans for this year they had
(15:08):
been to reintroduce the deep ball into their game. And
one of the things that you know, I think was
a little bit frustrating to Mahomes over the last couple
of years was how they weren't able to push the
ball down the field quite as much. Part of that
was by design. You know, after they lose Tyree kill,
a lot of teams have played back on them and
played a lot too high coverages on them. So you know,
(15:30):
like they had kind of counteracted that by going with
bigger run after the catch type receivers. Well, you know,
this year, the whole plan was to reintroduce the deep
ball into their offense and to push the ball downfield
and try to use that to open up things under
knees for Rashie Rice and Travis Kelcey. Unfortunately, Hollywood Brown
(15:51):
won't play to night, and he was a big part
of it. And Xavier Worthy's a rookie. So I think,
like the real big picture of what the East offense
is going to be, we won't see that tonight, you know.
I think you're probably going to see that a month,
two months from now, and you know, maybe that creates
some opportunity for the Ravens. I think what we're looking
at with the Ravens, which is interesting, is where and
(16:15):
I know a lot of people haven't paid attention to
as part of it, but it's a really important piece
of tonight's matchup. Sixty percent of their offensive line from
the ANFC Championship game is gone. They're breaking in three
new starting offensive linemen and you know, in all three
cases they're young players who haven't really played regularly yet.
You know, so what does that look like? So I'd say,
(16:38):
you know, how the Chiefs make it work in the
passing game, and then what the Ravens are doing on
the offensive line would be two of the things that
you probably want to watch closely tonight.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
AB is there.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
We're making our super Bowl picks and our season predictions
here and I don't know if you're ready to fire
off your super Bowl pick, but is there maybe a
surprise that you look at this season that for some reason,
something you on your training camp tour or just a
gut feeling that you have a feeling this team is
going to be way better than a lot of people
are expecting.
Speaker 9 (17:08):
Yeah, well, my my super Bowl picks already up on
the website and all that. So it's forty nine Ers
over Bengals. So no surprises there, you know. I get
asked that a lot like and I just feel like
the NFL, and I've said this to you guys before,
I think, but like, I feel like the NFL has
covered so thoroughly now that it's really hard to come
up with a team that's really a surprise team because
we just we go over so many things over the
(17:29):
course of the offseason. So, you know, I think the
one team that I think could be a little bit
of a curve ball that you know, do they make
the playoffs maybe maybe not, would be would be Arizona.
I really like what they've done as far as just
stocking the player the roster with young players, and they've
had a really big draft class last year. It's just
(17:51):
numbers wise, and a really big draft class this year.
And they've got, yeah, they've got like the franchise type
players like your Paris Johnson, your here Marvin Harrison, but
you're also bringing in guys that are like sort of
these second level players. I think Max Melton's got a
chance to be a really good corner for them. Michael Wilson,
a lot of those guys came from Minnesota. I've heard
him compare to Adam Feeling, and he had a really
(18:13):
good rookie year last year. So I like the young
days of talent. I also think Kyler Murray's more engaged
than he's ever been before in his career, and really
started last year coming off the ACL. I think he's
heard a lot of the criticism on the video game
stuff and all of that. He had to own a
new offense really for the first time since high school,
and you know, having to do that, the challenge of
(18:35):
it and coming back off the ACL and not having
a springer a summer in twenty three really forced him
to dive back into the mental part.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Of the game.
Speaker 9 (18:45):
And so I'm really interested to see what that looks
like in the year two, because he played pretty well
at the end of last year. I think he saw
some of the things that Jonathan Gannon and Vision coming
together at the end of the year. And I do
think that there's like a nice base of young talent
that's going to give them a chance.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Yeah, it's almost like I thought, maybe he lost his
Internet for the entirety of the season, and so maybe console.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
Yeah, taking away from him.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Wah wah, let's go back to your Super Bowl pick.
You've got the Cincinnati Bengals, albeit losing to the San
Francisco point nine Ers, but they're winning the AFC in
your mind. Jamar Chase still doesn't have a deal though,
and and so this is a something that I guess
what they get a deal done or he plays to
the season with that one, he's just going to be.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
A happy guy running around out there trying to go out.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
I think they're gonna get a deal done now. I mean,
I think it's really instructive to look at how Jamar
Chase has handled these things in the past. I mean,
he did opt out. He was one of the guys
who opted out of his last year, you know, at LSU,
so he sat out of his whole year. So there's
a guy who's obviously seen the game from a business
standpoint for a long time, going back to when he
(19:50):
was in college. So, like I I'm not surprised that
he's taking this sort of approach to his first big
contract and go ciation as a pro. You know, I
actually think Brady that they will get something done. And
I think they will get something done because I think
the cheeny Lamb thing really simplified this right like where
(20:13):
I think before, you know, before justin Jefferson got a
deal done, there was no way that the Bengals were
getting it done with the deal done with Chase just
wasn't happening. Chase and Jefferson were in come communication the
whole time. Chase is always going to wait for his
body to do his deal first, so he could use
that as a leverage point. Then Jefferson's deal is so
(20:34):
far past where everybody else was at the receiver position
that the Bengals could point out and say, well, Jefferson
had one year left, you have two years left. That
deal's an outlier. So I think really what you needed
was another data point here to kind of like clear
that up. And I think Lamb gave you.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
That data point.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
Now that's good news and bad news for the Bengals.
The bad news is it basically confirmed the Chase is right,
that the market is the market right now, and that
where Jefferson is the new market for the best receivers
in football. The good, dude is, I do think it
makes it easier now for the Bengals to do a deal.
And it makes it so the Bengals can just say, look,
there's a little more expensive than we thought it was
going to be, but it'd be even more expensive if
(21:16):
we wait another year. The markets the market, let's get
a deal done. And I do think that they'll find
a way to get a deal done before Sunday.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Before Sunday, I think, so yeah, okay, all right, that
was going to be my next question, good John.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Well, I was just gonna ask abe, I mean, do
you think and total hypothetical here, all right, So, I
don't want to make this seem like I'm trying to
steer you in a direction you don't want to go
if it's too dangerous or too reckless here. But do
you feel like that maybe Ohio State might be thirty
eight points better than Western Michigan this weekend?
Speaker 9 (21:48):
It was the Wisconsin as they played, right, they put
up a pretty good.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Fight, I think, right, I believe so, Yeah, I think
that was coming.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
I think that that thing was close into the third quarter.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
I think so. I think I think it'll be I
think it could be one of those.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
Where ye know, my text strings are on my text strings.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
Are on fire in the first quarter of the game
and we're firing everybody, and then by the end of
the game it's like a six touchdown win.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
So how'd that text how'd that text chain handle week one?
That I know, there's a lot of frustrated Buckeye.
Speaker 10 (22:22):
Brady Brady, Brady was not great in the first quarter.
I don't think.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
I don't think.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
I don't think. I don't think i'd want like the
contents of those text rings.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
There might have there might there might have been a few.
Speaker 10 (22:33):
People fired, There might have been a few guys bench. Yeah,
with a tough scene on those text strings. Uh, they're
around uh three thirty Eastern on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Only Ryan Day could drum a team about like forty
something and then still somehow people calling for him to
be fired.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
You are out there, you know that environment. Your guys
look pretty good though.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Huh they did, they did, They should, they should go
twelve and oh you know, especially with it when like
that in the starting point for the offensive line being
so young, the way they played so that that's that's
how it sets up for them.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Say your coach brings you in like that, I mean,
you ain't got no choice.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Oh yeah, baby, Yeah, he had all the twelfth Man
right there too.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
He would have put on some pads and go play on.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
Yeah. I like guys, guy, guys, I'm just I'm just
glad Brady's on with us today after after what he
had to go through on Saturday. I thought, I thought,
I thought that might be it for you.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, me and Coach Meyer.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
I really felt like they kept reassuring us that that
set is grounded and so we're good. Like if if
lightning strikes, there's a seventy percent chance we will not
get hit by it, at least from what I understand
seven something like that. What they haven't figured out that
was the wind, as some of those pop up tens
or not weighted down. I will most likely get him
(23:48):
paled by a pop up tent at some point.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
If we keep going to some of them go like
some of them go flying by like in Twister or whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah yeah, wow wow a B. We appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Uh lines flew out air like like.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Uh yeah they did, thanks.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
Aby take that a B. We're coming for you this year, sir.
This might this might be the first time that I
get the you when we play Ohio State might be
the first half.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
You guys that you know suck those the implications, that's
the same because whoever wins, like the loser's still gonna
have a shot to get in the playoffs, not like
the zero some game. It's then, you know, so.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Yeah, any states are still high for us, you know,
still high for us to.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Enjoy the game.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
AYB.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
There he is, Senior NFL reporter, lead content Strategies at.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
The h State. People sound like, get him on. The
educations aren't as.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Big anymore, you know, Oh my gosh, we can't beat
them now, we got to beat them.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
So it is that whole area like Columbus, like Dublin.
That's how they are.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Why do you do that?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
What to do?
Speaker 6 (25:02):
What?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Go to Dublin all the time?
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Because I'm just letting you know, man, I've been there.
I know what it's like. You've been there, well versed
on you know how things go in Dublin, Ohio.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
They said you parked the golf cart in the pond?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Was that you?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
No, it's not me. Oh, it's definitely not me. I
was not driving.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
They said you were a passenger on that cart, isn't
it now?
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Oh I'm not a great swimmer. I wouldn't have made
it out. So if I'm still doing the show here,
you can you know I kept it pretty dry.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Has there ever been a good looking pond in a
golf course setting? Why do they all look dirty? You
ever noticed that?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
There's no clear water ponds, like like Caribbean water. Why
can't they get a Caribbean water pond or body of
water on.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
The courses because they're Racistan. Yeah, I would say, is
that what it is?
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Probably again, but who knows?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Man?

Speaker 6 (27:29):
That's a nice song. I do know that song. That's
that definitely was growing up on that song. I remember
days listening to it.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
It's more of the b the very beginning that's hot definitely, which,
by the way, that's more of like Jonas's wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
He always play back to that.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Not true. I'm more of a depeche mode. You give
me depeche Mode la.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Couldn't you imagine Jonas and his black leather jacket that
has had pretty much since the nineteen eighties in a
Iraq T top Camaro with one of those giant eagles off.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
On the hood, be popping. Just play the beginning of
the socket. He could let me just the beginning.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
To be heard again.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Let me hear it again here at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (28:10):

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Holes in it.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, it just it just sits on the hood, you know.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
He just sits there, drops down with toothpick in his mouth,
roll the window.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
No, you're already already got a car alright in the car,
and he takes let us take it. We're talking about you, Bud,
all right. I was gonna give the uh the commentary.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
He takes his sunglasses off, and then Brady Quinn comes
walking around the back of the car and stands next
to him with his leather jacket on and his sunglasses,
and then he takes his glasses off, and then he
drops his chin and he looks down as well, and
then the photo shoot starts.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Yeah, yeah, Bawn, and then we just say, anybody with
the last name Lopez come with us.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
They just roll on out. Is that how works?
Speaker 5 (29:30):
That's how it works.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
But but that car that you're in is only a
two seater. I believe that's the point.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
Yeah, okay baby.
Speaker 5 (29:42):

Com The way tirebying should be. By the way, Lee,
I really will send over my song request today. I
meet it time, not messing around, can't wait, not far around, No.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Pun intended.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
All right, So the NFL season is underway. We had
game one last night. Bar we had the technical difficulties
to start off the show. But you thought your takeaway
after you and I picked the Kansas City Chiefs minus three,
never in doubt, never in doubt.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
No, it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
I was pretty I was pretty confident that they would
cover that. You know what my takeaway from the game
fellas was this Kansas City Chiefs team has now established
an inner culture that is just very business like. You know,
say what, say what you want to say about Kelsey
and what he's got going on. You know, he's got
(30:46):
a lot of things outside of football going on. Say
what you want to say about all of the things
that Patrick Mahomes has with all of the you know,
commercial shoots and stuff like that. He's very public figure
as well. There doesn't seem to be any distractions to
their preparation and how they approach what their business is.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I'll say that that's what I took away.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Another takeaway was there's now an understanding and an expectation
that if you're considered to be that next guy up,
then be that next guy up.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
It's like, if you're going to replace.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
A linebacker in Pittsburgh, then you had better come with
the same exactly. It's so crazy that they're all the
same people, like from Greg Lloyd to James Harrison, you know,
to you name, they're all the same people. And I
think that that's what's developing in Kansas City. The receiver's position.
(31:45):
It's like they may look different, but it's like the
same person. They're going to bring an element to the
table that is explosive, that is exciting, and you like
to see it. And that's what I think we saw
out of the rookie last evening. I mean so much
so where you know, you got Tarik Hill chiming in
(32:08):
on social media about how good he looked and how
fast he looked out there. I just think this Kansas
City Chiefs team knows how to go about their business.
It's very workman like and it's interesting because it's not
as maybe it doesn't seem like it would be as
buttoned up as when we saw the dominant run by
(32:30):
the Patriots, even though you had some really interesting personalities
on that team, with like guys like ty Low interesting personality,
Lawyer Malloy, interesting personality, Kevin Folk.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Is it Kevin. Yeah, I believe it's Kevin.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
Kevin Folk the running back of interesting personality like uh
big McGinnis, Willie mcginni's big personality.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
But you didn't see.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
Them like as they're nowhere near even with Brady. They
weren't what big Willie and strong and gonna get friction
on baby got Willie. So anyway, none of those guys
on that Patriots team were as media public or or
(33:24):
not media public, but like commercially public, Like who was
really commercially out there from that Patriots team. And yet
you have Kelsey and you have Mahomes that are like
literally the they're the faces of the NFL in terms
of marketing and branding and commercials and all these different brands,
(33:48):
and it has had no impact on their ability to achieve.
I think give Andy Reid a ton of credit for
being able to be the facilitator as the head coach
to have this team be able to stay as focused
as they do with all of the noise going around them.
(34:10):
Give Spagnola. I don't think Spags gets the credit that
he's deserving of for the job that he does as
a defensive coordinator. If you take Spags away, this team
isn't the team that it is.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Spags is even calling timeouts now.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
You know, Bro, the dude is the man, Bro, And
you want to talk about somebody who comes out with
schemes and listen the Baltimore offense. I mean, Lamar Jackson
had a night. I mean he had a hell of
a night. He had a career night. But some way, somehow,
this dude figures out how to offset what these dudes do.
(34:47):
And listen, if they're tot tape away from me being
able to say or having to say that wasn't the
case because they pulled it out. But that game was
was a well played game.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
The defense did what they needed to do.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Like, regardless of what people may say or have opinion wise,
I just think that it's a well rounded team and
it looks like they have the potential to be one
hundred percent, not a little percent. They have a potential
to be one hundred percent better than what they have
been in the past. And that was my takeaway. I
(35:24):
think they're a dangerous team. I think they're a scary
team to look at this year.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Yeah, I think even when you consider there was no
Hollywood Brown, you know, we can talk about Xavier worthy
as a rookie first game, made some big plays and
touches when called upon, But what stood out to me
was they still have another element of their offense.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
That was not even introduced.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
So that's the scary thing Gar, And I think to
your point, LeVar, like the consistency of the Kansas City
Chiefs with all the other things that are happening around them,
it is remarkable. It truly is remarkable, and it's a
credit to all involve the front office, the coaching staff,
the players, et cetera. But I thought last night's game
(36:08):
was more about Baltimore, and it was more about Baltimore
for this reason because you know, look the outcome of
that game.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I'm not gonna say it doesn't matter. It matters for
you know, those of you who.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Are betting, and it could matter for the number one
overall seed in the AFC. Remember, Baltimore had the best
record last season and that's why they hosted Kansas City
in the AFC Championship game. So it's it could be
significant in that respect. But I think we both know
that both these teams are playoff teams. At least in
my opinion, Baltimore is. They're good to Baltimore team. But
(36:41):
this was a line of the sand kind of moment
for me in watching Patrick Mahomes who kind of like
effortlessly just finds ways of completing balls and doesn't leave
the pocket until he has to where when he has
to make it, play makes a play. And we you
compare that to Lamar Jackson, and you look at the
(37:02):
fact that he is a two time MVP, it's a
foregone conclusion they're gonna win enough games to get into
the playoffs. But then it becomes about what can you
do once you get in the playoffs and then and
this is like the same conversation that I think people
have about Josh Allen. The only difference is that it
feels like in the moments with Buffalo and Josh Allen
is like Josh Allen's made enough plays where it's just
(37:25):
they didn't have the ball last. And it felt like
at times like where they've gotten beat by the Chiefs.
In this case, you know they Lamar had the ball last.
You know, he said the AFC Championship game was about
his legs. If his legs were healthy would have been
a different story. Well it didn't work out then, and
then last night there's just moments in times when he
misses throws. You know, he can say whatever he wants
(37:46):
about Rashan Batman. He thought he was gonna sit more
in the zone coverage that's where the throw is going,
or however you want to.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Dice it up.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
There's throws that he leaves out on the field, often
off and that is the one thing about his game
that has to improve if he's gonna be able to
get to a super Bowl, win a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
And change the narrative like that, that's just the truth.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
What's that like the flowers min I mean, like, like.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
That's a throw that when you're going against the best
in Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City, he hits ten times
out of ten.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
He hits that. And that's where if you're.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
If you're in the AFC, if you're if you want
to win a super Bowl right now in the NFL,
you can't miss that throw. You can't miss making that play.
And that's and that's just the that's the margin of air,
the margin of difference. And that's why I said, when
you draw a line, there's Patrick Mahomes and there's everyone
else right now in.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
The NFL that has how this league is operating.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
So you bring up the Lamar Jackson stuff, and you
tell me if I'm overreacting to this, but this seems
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Problematic to me. He spoke with the Washington Post.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
This is before last night's game, and he said the
following about the AFC title game. This again from Lamar
Jackson quote, how I'm feeling right now. I wish I
was feeling like this body wise in the AFC title game.
We would have won that game. I would have been
able to move around for my guys. With me just
hurting and can't move. I know, if my legs were good,
we would have won that game. We wouldn't have even
(39:18):
had to throw the ball. F throwing the ball well, like,
if that's why the decision was made to lose all
this weight to become faster and all that, Like, if
he still isn't focusing on throwing the ball, aren't we
just coming back to the same issue to your point, Brady,
that we've had with Lamar Jackson this entire time. You
don't question his scrambling ability or his mobility. It's those
(39:40):
throws and the ability to throw the ball and make
those throws in critical moments and if even he is
recognizing following that game, in that AFC title game, Yeah, yeah,
but all that's nice, But I need to get back
to moving around and running the ball, f throwing the ball.
If that's still the priority. Maybe this is just the
best that it's going to be, and this is just.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Who he is.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
And there's nothing wrong with that, right because I think
there's a degree of he's phenomenal and that's why he's won.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Two mvpsy because of his ability to throw with his
ability to run.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
However, this is still a league that protects quarterbacks from
the pocket. It's still ultimately one from the pocket, and
you have to be able to utilize your ability to scramble, escape,
run when called upon. But you can't rely on it
to the point where it changes how And if you
(40:35):
ask Steve Spagnola what he probably wants him to do, yeah,
they want to bottle up Lamar Jackson and not let
him outside the pocket. But he's also cutting the field
in half. I mean, if we're being honest with ourselves,
Lamar's ability to throw is in the same as Patrick Mahomes,
where even when he gets outside the pocket, the entire
play excuse me, the entire field is still in play.
(40:56):
We don't see Lamar Jackson make, you know, scrambling to
his right, make a cross body throw back to his left.
That's that's not his game. He's gonna take off and runner.
He's gonna find something down in the middle to the
right hand side the way in which he's going, and
that's you know, Patrick mahomes superman ability. But it speaks
to a greater point of it's more difficult to stop
(41:16):
Patrick Mahomes because no matter where he is, the entire
field is still in play, as opposed to for Lamar Jackson.
If you do get him to scramble outside the pocket,
he's looking to run, which is tough to stop. But
he's also going to be limited in what he's doing
throwing the football down in that spot. And that was
in essence kind of what you saw last night, where
(41:38):
he's throwing a football to say Flowers, He's wide open
the back of the end zone and and you know,
whether it's a miscommunication, that stuff happens, and and in
real time it's hard to make it all work. But
I'm just stating the point that if you want to
win a Super Bowl, if you want to win the AFC.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
You have to hit that throw.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
Yeah, you got hit it, Isaiah Likely the guy who
had his toes were too big in order for the ball.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
I say the line was too big?
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Is that what I was?
Speaker 5 (42:07):
So he spoke afterwards about the final play in which
he was just out of bounds, and also apparently not
all that impressed with what Kansas City had to offer
last night.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
That's what I mean, man, I just got it.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
I gotta get both feet in.
Speaker 11 (42:21):
I gotta i harp myself to you know, catch everything,
make sure everybody plays in the best possibility. So I'll
take the responsibility next time we get my feet down.
This is probably the worst game we're gonna play all year,
So this is the best that they got.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
And good luck in the postseason. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (42:36):
So apparently not not sold on the Kansas City Chiefs
at this point.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
We're going for a three.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
Pet They frisky.
Speaker 6 (42:43):
Man, it's a frisky game, and I like that be competitive.
I mean, you lost, but I can I can understand where.
I mean, they could have won that game. They had
the opportunity to win that game, and in fact, even
after the miss too to say, Likely had the opportunity
to make that catch. So I would say this and
(43:08):
the true true, I guess feeling or essence of what
competition is. I like that you got a guys like
kind of saying that you know, coach might be like,
you might want to hold off on that they did
beat us, you know, let's get some wins under our belt.
But the fact that he has a chip on his shoulder,
(43:30):
and the fact that his takeaway from the game is
that this is the worst that we're going to play,
then good living that living that because it did look
like a team that wanted to win. That did not
look like a team that will not be competitive. They
look like they're going to be a good team this
year as well.
Speaker 5 (43:47):
Are you noticing a theme though? Baltimore, we could have
won that game. The Niners in the Super Bowl could
have won that game. The Bills in the playoffs could
have won that game. Like there's a lot of kudoves
and they're all involving the Chiefs on the other side or.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
A or a dope ass quarterback.
Speaker 5 (44:04):
But and it's like Kansas City in close games just
wins those games. It's it mirrors what New England was
all those years to where like New England was always
in close Super Bowls always, but it was like when
it came down to it, you just trusted they were
going to make the play or enough place to win
the games.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
So here we are.
Speaker 6 (44:21):
And again just like with with New England and then
the same with Kansas City, they have defense too. There
are other players, There are other players, but I just say,
when you get into that class where it's a class
all their own, like Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady, man,
I'm I'm I'm gonna put my money down on them.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
Man.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
Yeah,
This is the best of two pros and a couple
Joe with Lamar Arrington rating win and Jonas Knox on
Fox Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
How the hell we feel in here after a long weekend?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
What a weekend?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Huh yeah? Great?
Speaker 4 (00:19):
What a weekend of college football? And now we've got
the NFL adding to the mix this week. It's it's
just been awesome. I'm so happy football is back.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
Can I make a proclamation? I would like to guarantee
you something.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Here on the ARECAU.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
This is the.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Business of guarantees.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
I will guarantee you Florida State will not be in
the top ten when the new rankings come out.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Sure, I'm going to how.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
About that's all guarantee you they won't be the top
twenty five after the college football rankings come out. And
just remind people the college football playoff rankings won't be
out for a while, so that we know for sure
the AP and coaches pull will be out I think today,
and yet they will not be a part of.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
The top twenty five.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I mean kind of.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
I mean they've been pretty impressive if you ask me,
you think so. Yes, it takes an impressive group to
come out and start owing too I mean, it just does.
And and to travel as far as they did to
do it. I mean, man, they've given these teams life.
Shouts out to Bill O'Brien and then to the start
(01:25):
of his career at Boston College, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I mean, they had a good show.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
It was a fun weekend and you got a little
bit of everything, little mixture of everything. You know, a
lot of a lot of underdogs performing well against the spread.
Mother nature kicks some people in the nuts, as Brady
witnessed on Morgantown over the world.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I mean, do we really want to do a recap?
Is this how they want to do it?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Or do it?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Maybe place some some music underneath. It spiced this thing
up a little.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I mean, here we go.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Let's just start off with the number one Georgia Bulldogs
taking Clemson to the matt I think a lot of
people question, right now, where is this Clemson program? What
happened to Dabo Sweeney? The Buckeyes got started off slow
with Akron ended up pulling away. The addition of Will
Howard as the transfer quarterback was seen. However, it was
Jeremiah Smith that stole the show with a couple of
(02:17):
touchdown catches the freshman phenom. We need to keep an
eye on him. Oregon played another tight game as well
versus Idaho. It took him to the end to really
pull away. Dylan Gabriel put up some impressive stats, but
maybe not quite as advertised so far.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But we'll see what they look like in.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Week two of college football as we go on down
the list. Texas took care of business versus Colorado State.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Quinn Ewers was on fire.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Any questions of whether or non Texas is back, you know,
I think they answered those to some degree. Archie Manning
even got some burn time. Looked good as well as
he jumped in there. We go through the list, we
got Oklahoma State was able to poundce South Dakota State.
They looked like they could be a contender in the
Big twelve. Notre Dame took advantage of Texas adem on
(03:02):
the road with a salty defense and a running game
led by Jeremiah Love, the running back who's pretty high
on I mean myself. Let's talk about Penn State, var Fo,
Shi'm in here on your Nitney Lions taking care of
business in Morgantown.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Well, it was a little sloppy like the weather.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
You know, a little bit of bad ball handling here
and there, but after you know, they shored up and
got their sea legs under them. It looked as though
they were able to establish to run play fast defense,
and on offense, they pushed the ball downfield, and I
mean they looked like they could have some guys and
(03:43):
Wallace and.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
What's the other.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Fella's name, Amari Banks.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
There we go, mister, yeah, I got you, I got you.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Moving on.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Tennessee took advantage of Chattanooga sixty nine to three. Nico Mayleava,
their quarterback there, showed out in a big way. He
looked to be the real deal. Remember he was the
guy who supposedly had that nil deal worth what about
eight million dollars or so whatever it was. I don't
know what they're paying.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
On, but it looks like it's pan off Iowa forty
points forty points.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
From well, it's not all the Iowa offense, but the
defense was stout. Kade macnamer was able to throw three
tunies and never two hundred fifty yards. It seemed like
an offensive explosion. Lsuit number thirteen. LSU and USC battled
on Sunday night. It was a great game. Southern Cal, though,
was able to win this thing out. Miller Mosslok fantastic,
as did the wide receivers and an improved defense from
(04:34):
Southern Cal.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
When I was all said and done, y'all, what about
the you U might be back?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Baby cam Wore the number one transfer quarterback this offseason
helped the Miami Hurricanes go into the swamp and pound
the Florida Gators. Billy Navier could be in trouble with
the schedule that they've got this season. Old Miss and
Jackson Dart no big deal, just five touchdowns over four
and yards passing in the first half vers Furman. They
cruised to win seventy six to nothing Kansas State led
(04:59):
by Avery Johnson who.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Threw for over one hundred and fifty yards.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
A couple of tunnies, but they took care of ut
Martin forty one to six.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Michigan.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
A tight one ross Fresido State till the second half.
They pull away in the fourth quarter. That's Davis Warning
gets to start. However, again still a salty defense. Will
Johnson with a pick six on that one. Bama's Bama
sixty feet enough versus Western Kentucky. Jalen Milrose showed out
in a small sample size and another wide receiver keeping
on Ryan Williams, there are a couple of receptions for
(05:27):
one hundred and thirty nine yards and two touchdowns. Oklahoma
cruised to beat Temple fifty one to three, Arizona sixty
one to thirty nine over in New Mexico, maybe a
more competitive game than they thought a team at their
wide receiver. There are ten receptions, three hundred yards and
four touchdowns, a school record. Kansas cruises to beat Lindenwood
forty eight to three, Missoo fifty one to nothing over
(05:50):
Missouri State. Excuse me, Murray State and NC State beats
Western Carolina in second half, pulling away there to beat
them thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
To twenty one.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
In Utah, cam Risen back for a seventh year over
turn and fifty yards passing five touchdowns forty nine to
nothing over Southern Utah.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And we already know what happened in Ireland.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Don't need to recap that.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
There it is. That's how it's done.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Put that in your recap pipe and smoke it everybody.
That's how it's done. That's a week one recap.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
That is a recap. Now, hell yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Hell yeah, now I do, because you had some boots
on the ground in Morgantown.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
What the hell was that? Seem like we that was
one of the coolest college atmospheres.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I have ever been a part of. I mean, the
people there in Morgantown said this. There wasn't as much
hype around this, you know season, and really this team
since going back to the Gino Smith Tevon Austin, Bruce
Irving Tavon and Bruce, you know, both were able to
come onto the set. Gino's too busy getting ready for
the season. But you know, you got a sense for
(06:59):
the excitement that they have because of how they finished
the season, and it was a surprising season. Last year,
I think West Virginia was slated to the I don't
know if it was finished last but you know, everyone
thought that they would played poor last year, Neil Brown
would get fired, and they turn around have a nine
one season. They really surprised a lot of folks and
build up this optimism. I got to be honest though,
(07:21):
when I was watching the tape towards the end of
the year, when I turned on the videotape, I was like,
they've kind of planned some poor opponents. I really wasn't
high on this team, was more curious to see what
they'd look like. They lost some pieces, in particular Zach Frazier,
who moved on to the NFL level.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I just wasn't sure what to expect.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
And going based off last year's game versus Penn State,
you know, they they weren't.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Able to stop Drew Aller and same thing showed out
this year.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
All are a few big, you know, big TD passes
that the storyline was more of the offense of Penn
State and what it would look like, which we can
get in that at some point, but that atmosphere was
incredible and they showed out for their team and you know,
as LeVar touched on, it was sloppy for both teams
I think to start off, but then it, you know,
slowly Penn State started to pull away, just with some
(08:09):
big plays, which was something that you know, you didn't
see a lot from Penn State. I think they had
what two plays over fifty yards in this game, which
was they had like six all last year.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It was just like in the first half.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
So it was pretty remarkable to see how a coach
can kind of transform your perception of a team and
help out a player who's got a lot of ability
but maybe hasn't showed it quite as much that was
on display. But Morgantown was incredible. I mean the MGK
concert and everything else that we had kind of going
on there was unlike any venue we've ever been to
(08:41):
to date. It was that crazy, and there's people everywhere
everywhere around the stadium, in the parking lot, tale and
just everything. The set it was absolutely nuts.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
What was the delay like, Well, that was there was
a lot to it.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
So I'll take you behind the scenes.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
So our set that's down in the stadium, it's small,
and it actually collapses and then rolls. So once we
get done, we jump off as fast as possible. They
collapse it and roll it away, so none of the
players potentially get hurt since.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You're usually in one of the end zones.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Well, right before we come on, a half liner was
standing under it to get in the shade.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Because it was so hot and he was sweating profusely.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
So I stand more closer to the field, realizing at
some point they're gonna, you know, pump this thing and
it's gonna expand up and then and they're gonna roll
it back into.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Place closer to the field. Well, liner doesn't see it.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I guess they didn't have any pocket presence here, and
the top of the set actually hit him in the
forehead and so he gashes his forehead.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
So he's bleeding.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
We're trying to find a cutman on the sideline and
meanwhile he's like, I'm not gonna come on arias I'm bleeding,
and they're like, yeah, probably probably shouldn't. So as we jump
on set, they go, hey, we're probably gonna either stay here.
But after we're done, we got to run to the
outside set. There's lightning, which when you when you're like,
all right, there's a storm rolling and why would we
(10:09):
go to the outside set. Everyone keeps reassuring us that
it's grounded and that we will not get struck by
lightning or anything else for that matter. The problem was
as this storm rolled in when we were outside, is
the wind. I mean, we had all sorts of stuff
that was being like pulled up off the ground. Like
I honestly thought I was gonna getting pailed by a
(10:30):
pop up tent.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
It was.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It was that crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
It was that wild, and at one point, like you
could kind of see from the clip that went viral,
like we I looked over at Urban and I looked
at the weather, and I was like, man, I said, Herbs,
that looks like it's like a tornado, you know, cloud,
like a funnel cloud. Then he just looks at me
and shook his head and finally summoned at LA. He's
probably sitting back on a nice, warm, sunny day and
(10:53):
just perfect weather. It's like, huh, that looks pretty bad.
Maybe we should have the guys go inside. So that
even took place, but it was a good like thirty
minutes of trying to figure out how.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
The hell we're gonna have to broadcast something through that.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
But the house lioner, now, yeah, they actually were like,
then stitch them up. I don't know if he ended
up having the stitches or not, because it was a
pretty decent little gash, but they end up taping him
up and I had to like put make him stuff over.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
It was still bleeding through though.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Dang, that's crazy crazy. I wish they would have had
y'all on though.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I'll tell you that I was trying to stick in there,
but I had to switch up.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Man, I had that was the case. My wife might
have been collected insurance policy at this point.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
So well, I'm glad you're safe, bro, but for the
sake of us sports fans, it would have been nice
to hear y'all during the delay.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I mean, you saw what it looked like behind us
that I was.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Getting to play by play the whole time too. I
was I would leave.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
I was at least two of my former teammates wing
man by FaceTime, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
So, yeah, it was interesting. I texted Brady because I
saw it. I'm a weather nerd to begin with, and
I saw the clouds in the sky. I was like,
that is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Like I wish I was there.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I'm glad you thought that was I am. They go, oh,
they'll be courtsized, hail coming down.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Wait what?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
And then usually they've they've got these curtains almost that
they'd pull if there's rain, so you're not getting everything
not gonna be dumped on. And I looked over and
the guys like trying to put it on.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
They're like, no, no, you can't go. There's there's lightning
as like.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
So then that was an issue because at some point
if it did rain, we probably would have gotten the
cameras and everything absolutely soaked.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
So it was which it did. Fortunately we were inside
right before it started. And then this week you're Ann
Arbor correct.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
That's right, Michigan Texas a huge game, huge game in
college football.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Yeah, that's a fun one.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
And there may be a another performing act. I won't
disclose anything. That's still finalizing some things, but maybe another performer.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Oh sweet, Yeah, maybe John Paul Morosio. Swing by, Ann Arburn.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
He should, yeah, he should cruise on by and s Hello.

You can get him on x at Albert Breer ab
Happy start of the NFL season. How we're feeling.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
I'm good, I'm good. How you guys doing. I mean
it's really been kind of going on for like six
seven weeks for me. Everybody asked me like this week,
like oh, or things about to get busy for you.
It's like, yeah, I've already been there for about two months.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
But so we hear you.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Trust me. Jonas has been trying to get us fired up.
We're like, dude, football seasons already started. I got to
ask Albert, is that a wild turkey in the background?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
What was that noise?
Speaker 9 (14:19):
Wild turkey? Well, you might hurt my dog a second ago,
but like guy was pulling out of the driveway, I
thought I thought I was still muted for that. Maybe
you gotta hurt that.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
No, you probably need to get your dog checked out
if it's barking.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
You got you got some problems.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. We do have turkey
here though, we do have turkey all over the place.
Actually my cawn't believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Who will be the turkey in tonight? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (14:46):
There you go of there you go the big market,
big market, uh transition there. I I think what we're
gonna see you tonight is you know, chiefs offense that
isn't why isn't quite where it's going to be in
October and November. And what I mean by that is
a lot of their plans for this year they had
(15:08):
been to reintroduce the deep ball into their game. And
one of the things that you know, I think was
a little bit frustrating to Mahomes over the last couple
of years was how they weren't able to push the
ball down the field quite as much. Part of that
was by design. You know, after they lose Tyree kill,
a lot of teams have played back on them and
played a lot too high coverages on them. So you know,
(15:30):
like they had kind of counteracted that by going with
bigger run after the catch type receivers. Well, you know,
this year, the whole plan was to reintroduce the deep
ball into their offense and to push the ball downfield
and try to use that to open up things under
knees for Rashie Rice and Travis Kelcey. Unfortunately, Hollywood Brown
(15:51):
won't play to night, and he was a big part
of it. And Xavier Worthy's a rookie. So I think,
like the real big picture of what the East offense
is going to be, we won't see that tonight, you know.
I think you're probably going to see that a month,
two months from now, and you know, maybe that creates
some opportunity for the Ravens. I think what we're looking
at with the Ravens, which is interesting, is where and
(16:15):
I know a lot of people haven't paid attention to
as part of it, but it's a really important piece
of tonight's matchup. Sixty percent of their offensive line from
the ANFC Championship game is gone. They're breaking in three
new starting offensive linemen and you know, in all three
cases they're young players who haven't really played regularly yet.
You know, so what does that look like? So I'd say,
(16:38):
you know, how the Chiefs make it work in the
passing game, and then what the Ravens are doing on
the offensive line would be two of the things that
you probably want to watch closely tonight.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
AB is there.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
We're making our super Bowl picks and our season predictions
here and I don't know if you're ready to fire
off your super Bowl pick, but is there maybe a
surprise that you look at this season that for some reason,
something you on your training camp tour or just a
gut feeling that you have a feeling this team is
going to be way better than a lot of people
are expecting.
Speaker 9 (17:08):
Yeah, well, my my super Bowl picks already up on
the website and all that. So it's forty nine Ers
over Bengals. So no surprises there, you know. I get
asked that a lot like and I just feel like
the NFL, and I've said this to you guys before,
I think, but like, I feel like the NFL has
covered so thoroughly now that it's really hard to come
up with a team that's really a surprise team because
we just we go over so many things over the
(17:29):
course of the offseason. So, you know, I think the
one team that I think could be a little bit
of a curve ball that you know, do they make
the playoffs maybe maybe not, would be would be Arizona.
I really like what they've done as far as just
stocking the player the roster with young players, and they've
had a really big draft class last year. It's just
(17:51):
numbers wise, and a really big draft class this year.
And they've got, yeah, they've got like the franchise type
players like your Paris Johnson, your here Marvin Harrison, but
you're also bringing in guys that are like sort of
these second level players. I think Max Melton's got a
chance to be a really good corner for them. Michael Wilson,
a lot of those guys came from Minnesota. I've heard
him compare to Adam Feeling, and he had a really
(18:13):
good rookie year last year. So I like the young
days of talent. I also think Kyler Murray's more engaged
than he's ever been before in his career, and really
started last year coming off the ACL. I think he's
heard a lot of the criticism on the video game
stuff and all of that. He had to own a
new offense really for the first time since high school,
and you know, having to do that, the challenge of
(18:35):
it and coming back off the ACL and not having
a springer a summer in twenty three really forced him
to dive back into the mental part.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Of the game.
Speaker 9 (18:45):
And so I'm really interested to see what that looks
like in the year two, because he played pretty well
at the end of last year. I think he saw
some of the things that Jonathan Gannon and Vision coming
together at the end of the year. And I do
think that there's like a nice base of young talent
that's going to give them a chance.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Yeah, it's almost like I thought, maybe he lost his
Internet for the entirety of the season, and so maybe console.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
Yeah, taking away from him.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Wah wah, let's go back to your Super Bowl pick.
You've got the Cincinnati Bengals, albeit losing to the San
Francisco point nine Ers, but they're winning the AFC in
your mind. Jamar Chase still doesn't have a deal though,
and and so this is a something that I guess
what they get a deal done or he plays to
the season with that one, he's just going to be.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
A happy guy running around out there trying to go out.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
I think they're gonna get a deal done now. I mean,
I think it's really instructive to look at how Jamar
Chase has handled these things in the past. I mean,
he did opt out. He was one of the guys
who opted out of his last year, you know, at LSU,
so he sat out of his whole year. So there's
a guy who's obviously seen the game from a business
standpoint for a long time, going back to when he
(19:50):
was in college. So, like I I'm not surprised that
he's taking this sort of approach to his first big
contract and go ciation as a pro. You know, I
actually think Brady that they will get something done. And
I think they will get something done because I think
the cheeny Lamb thing really simplified this right like where
(20:13):
I think before, you know, before justin Jefferson got a
deal done, there was no way that the Bengals were
getting it done with the deal done with Chase just
wasn't happening. Chase and Jefferson were in come communication the
whole time. Chase is always going to wait for his
body to do his deal first, so he could use
that as a leverage point. Then Jefferson's deal is so
(20:34):
far past where everybody else was at the receiver position
that the Bengals could point out and say, well, Jefferson
had one year left, you have two years left. That
deal's an outlier. So I think really what you needed
was another data point here to kind of like clear
that up. And I think Lamb gave you.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
That data point.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
Now that's good news and bad news for the Bengals.
The bad news is it basically confirmed the Chase is right,
that the market is the market right now, and that
where Jefferson is the new market for the best receivers
in football. The good, dude is, I do think it
makes it easier now for the Bengals to do a deal.
And it makes it so the Bengals can just say, look,
there's a little more expensive than we thought it was
going to be, but it'd be even more expensive if
(21:16):
we wait another year. The markets the market, let's get
a deal done. And I do think that they'll find
a way to get a deal done before Sunday.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Before Sunday, I think, so yeah, okay, all right, that
was going to be my next question, good John.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Well, I was just gonna ask abe, I mean, do
you think and total hypothetical here, all right, So, I
don't want to make this seem like I'm trying to
steer you in a direction you don't want to go
if it's too dangerous or too reckless here. But do
you feel like that maybe Ohio State might be thirty
eight points better than Western Michigan this weekend?
Speaker 9 (21:48):
It was the Wisconsin as they played, right, they put
up a pretty good.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Fight, I think, right, I believe so, Yeah, I think
that was coming.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
I think that that thing was close into the third quarter.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
I think so. I think I think it'll be I
think it could be one of those.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
Where ye know, my text strings are on my text strings.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
Are on fire in the first quarter of the game
and we're firing everybody, and then by the end of
the game it's like a six touchdown win.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
So how'd that text how'd that text chain handle week one?
That I know, there's a lot of frustrated Buckeye.
Speaker 10 (22:22):
Brady Brady, Brady was not great in the first quarter.
I don't think.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
I don't think.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
I don't think. I don't think i'd want like the
contents of those text rings.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
There might have there might there might have been a few.
Speaker 10 (22:33):
People fired, There might have been a few guys bench. Yeah,
with a tough scene on those text strings. Uh, they're
around uh three thirty Eastern on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Only Ryan Day could drum a team about like forty
something and then still somehow people calling for him to
be fired.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
You are out there, you know that environment. Your guys
look pretty good though.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Huh they did, they did, They should, they should go
twelve and oh you know, especially with it when like
that in the starting point for the offensive line being
so young, the way they played so that that's that's
how it sets up for them.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Say your coach brings you in like that, I mean,
you ain't got no choice.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Oh yeah, baby, Yeah, he had all the twelfth Man
right there too.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
He would have put on some pads and go play on.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
Yeah. I like guys, guy, guys, I'm just I'm just
glad Brady's on with us today after after what he
had to go through on Saturday. I thought, I thought,
I thought that might be it for you.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, me and Coach Meyer.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
I really felt like they kept reassuring us that that
set is grounded and so we're good. Like if if
lightning strikes, there's a seventy percent chance we will not
get hit by it, at least from what I understand
seven something like that. What they haven't figured out that
was the wind, as some of those pop up tens
or not weighted down. I will most likely get him
(23:48):
paled by a pop up tent at some point.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
If we keep going to some of them go like
some of them go flying by like in Twister or whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah yeah, wow wow a B. We appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Uh lines flew out air like like.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Uh yeah they did, thanks.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
Aby take that a B. We're coming for you this year, sir.
This might this might be the first time that I
get the you when we play Ohio State might be
the first half.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
You guys that you know suck those the implications, that's
the same because whoever wins, like the loser's still gonna
have a shot to get in the playoffs, not like
the zero some game. It's then, you know, so.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Yeah, any states are still high for us, you know,
still high for us to.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Enjoy the game.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
AYB.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
There he is, Senior NFL reporter, lead content Strategies at.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
The h State. People sound like, get him on. The
educations aren't as.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Big anymore, you know, Oh my gosh, we can't beat
them now, we got to beat them.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
So it is that whole area like Columbus, like Dublin.
That's how they are.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Why do you do that?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
What to do?
Speaker 6 (25:02):
What?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Go to Dublin all the time?
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Because I'm just letting you know, man, I've been there.
I know what it's like. You've been there, well versed
on you know how things go in Dublin, Ohio.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
They said you parked the golf cart in the pond?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Was that you?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
No, it's not me. Oh, it's definitely not me. I
was not driving.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
They said you were a passenger on that cart, isn't
it now?
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Oh I'm not a great swimmer. I wouldn't have made
it out. So if I'm still doing the show here,
you can you know I kept it pretty dry.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Has there ever been a good looking pond in a
golf course setting? Why do they all look dirty? You
ever noticed that?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
There's no clear water ponds, like like Caribbean water. Why
can't they get a Caribbean water pond or body of
water on.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
The courses because they're Racistan. Yeah, I would say, is
that what it is?
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Probably again, but who knows?

Speaker 6 (27:29):
That's a nice song. I do know that song. That's
that definitely was growing up on that song. I remember
days listening to it.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
It's more of the b the very beginning that's hot definitely, which,
by the way, that's more of like Jonas's wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
He always play back to that.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Not true. I'm more of a depeche mode. You give
me depeche Mode la.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Couldn't you imagine Jonas and his black leather jacket that
has had pretty much since the nineteen eighties in a
Iraq T top Camaro with one of those giant eagles off.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
On the hood, be popping. Just play the beginning of
the socket. He could let me just the beginning.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
To be heard again.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Let me hear it again here at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (28:10):

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Holes in it.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, it just it just sits on the hood, you know.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
He just sits there, drops down with toothpick in his mouth,
roll the window.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
No, you're already already got a car alright in the car,
and he takes let us take it. We're talking about you, Bud,
all right. I was gonna give the uh the commentary.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
He takes his sunglasses off, and then Brady Quinn comes
walking around the back of the car and stands next
to him with his leather jacket on and his sunglasses,
and then he takes his glasses off, and then he
drops his chin and he looks down as well, and
then the photo shoot starts.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Yeah, yeah, Bawn, and then we just say, anybody with
the last name Lopez come with us.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
They just roll on out. Is that how works?
Speaker 5 (29:30):
That's how it works.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
But but that car that you're in is only a
two seater. I believe that's the point.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
Yeah, okay baby.
Speaker 5 (29:42):

Com The way tirebying should be. By the way, Lee,
I really will send over my song request today. I
meet it time, not messing around, can't wait, not far around, No.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Pun intended.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
All right, So the NFL season is underway. We had
game one last night. Bar we had the technical difficulties
to start off the show. But you thought your takeaway
after you and I picked the Kansas City Chiefs minus three,
never in doubt, never in doubt.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
No, it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
I was pretty I was pretty confident that they would
cover that. You know what my takeaway from the game
fellas was this Kansas City Chiefs team has now established
an inner culture that is just very business like. You know,
say what, say what you want to say about Kelsey
and what he's got going on. You know, he's got
(30:46):
a lot of things outside of football going on. Say
what you want to say about all of the things
that Patrick Mahomes has with all of the you know,
commercial shoots and stuff like that. He's very public figure
as well. There doesn't seem to be any distractions to
their preparation and how they approach what their business is.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I'll say that that's what I took away.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Another takeaway was there's now an understanding and an expectation
that if you're considered to be that next guy up,
then be that next guy up.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
It's like, if you're going to replace.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
A linebacker in Pittsburgh, then you had better come with
the same exactly. It's so crazy that they're all the
same people, like from Greg Lloyd to James Harrison, you know,
to you name, they're all the same people. And I
think that that's what's developing in Kansas City. The receiver's position.
(31:45):
It's like they may look different, but it's like the
same person. They're going to bring an element to the
table that is explosive, that is exciting, and you like
to see it. And that's what I think we saw
out of the rookie last evening. I mean so much
so where you know, you got Tarik Hill chiming in
(32:08):
on social media about how good he looked and how
fast he looked out there. I just think this Kansas
City Chiefs team knows how to go about their business.
It's very workman like and it's interesting because it's not
as maybe it doesn't seem like it would be as
buttoned up as when we saw the dominant run by
(32:30):
the Patriots, even though you had some really interesting personalities
on that team, with like guys like ty Low interesting personality,
Lawyer Malloy, interesting personality, Kevin Folk.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Is it Kevin. Yeah, I believe it's Kevin.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
Kevin Folk the running back of interesting personality like uh
big McGinnis, Willie mcginni's big personality.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
But you didn't see.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
Them like as they're nowhere near even with Brady. They
weren't what big Willie and strong and gonna get friction
on baby got Willie. So anyway, none of those guys
on that Patriots team were as media public or or
(33:24):
not media public, but like commercially public, Like who was
really commercially out there from that Patriots team. And yet
you have Kelsey and you have Mahomes that are like
literally the they're the faces of the NFL in terms
of marketing and branding and commercials and all these different brands,
(33:48):
and it has had no impact on their ability to achieve.
I think give Andy Reid a ton of credit for
being able to be the facilitator as the head coach
to have this team be able to stay as focused
as they do with all of the noise going around them.
(34:10):
Give Spagnola. I don't think Spags gets the credit that
he's deserving of for the job that he does as
a defensive coordinator. If you take Spags away, this team
isn't the team that it is.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Spags is even calling timeouts now.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
You know, Bro, the dude is the man, Bro, And
you want to talk about somebody who comes out with
schemes and listen the Baltimore offense. I mean, Lamar Jackson
had a night. I mean he had a hell of
a night. He had a career night. But some way, somehow,
this dude figures out how to offset what these dudes do.
(34:47):
And listen, if they're tot tape away from me being
able to say or having to say that wasn't the
case because they pulled it out. But that game was
was a well played game.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
The defense did what they needed to do.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Like, regardless of what people may say or have opinion wise,
I just think that it's a well rounded team and
it looks like they have the potential to be one
hundred percent, not a little percent. They have a potential
to be one hundred percent better than what they have
been in the past. And that was my takeaway. I
(35:24):
think they're a dangerous team. I think they're a scary
team to look at this year.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Yeah, I think even when you consider there was no
Hollywood Brown, you know, we can talk about Xavier worthy
as a rookie first game, made some big plays and
touches when called upon, But what stood out to me
was they still have another element of their offense.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
That was not even introduced.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
So that's the scary thing Gar, And I think to
your point, LeVar, like the consistency of the Kansas City
Chiefs with all the other things that are happening around them,
it is remarkable. It truly is remarkable, and it's a
credit to all involve the front office, the coaching staff,
the players, et cetera. But I thought last night's game
(36:08):
was more about Baltimore, and it was more about Baltimore
for this reason because you know, look the outcome of
that game.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I'm not gonna say it doesn't matter. It matters for
you know, those of you who.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Are betting, and it could matter for the number one
overall seed in the AFC. Remember, Baltimore had the best
record last season and that's why they hosted Kansas City
in the AFC Championship game. So it's it could be
significant in that respect. But I think we both know
that both these teams are playoff teams. At least in
my opinion, Baltimore is. They're good to Baltimore team. But
(36:41):
this was a line of the sand kind of moment
for me in watching Patrick Mahomes who kind of like
effortlessly just finds ways of completing balls and doesn't leave
the pocket until he has to where when he has
to make it, play makes a play. And we you
compare that to Lamar Jackson, and you look at the
(37:02):
fact that he is a two time MVP, it's a
foregone conclusion they're gonna win enough games to get into
the playoffs. But then it becomes about what can you
do once you get in the playoffs and then and
this is like the same conversation that I think people
have about Josh Allen. The only difference is that it
feels like in the moments with Buffalo and Josh Allen
is like Josh Allen's made enough plays where it's just
(37:25):
they didn't have the ball last. And it felt like
at times like where they've gotten beat by the Chiefs.
In this case, you know they Lamar had the ball last.
You know, he said the AFC Championship game was about
his legs. If his legs were healthy would have been
a different story. Well it didn't work out then, and
then last night there's just moments in times when he
misses throws. You know, he can say whatever he wants
(37:46):
about Rashan Batman. He thought he was gonna sit more
in the zone coverage that's where the throw is going,
or however you want to.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Dice it up.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
There's throws that he leaves out on the field, often
off and that is the one thing about his game
that has to improve if he's gonna be able to
get to a super Bowl, win a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
And change the narrative like that, that's just the truth.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
What's that like the flowers min I mean, like, like.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
That's a throw that when you're going against the best
in Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City, he hits ten times
out of ten.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
He hits that. And that's where if you're.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
If you're in the AFC, if you're if you want
to win a super Bowl right now in the NFL,
you can't miss that throw. You can't miss making that play.
And that's and that's just the that's the margin of air,
the margin of difference. And that's why I said, when
you draw a line, there's Patrick Mahomes and there's everyone
else right now in.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
The NFL that has how this league is operating.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
So you bring up the Lamar Jackson stuff, and you
tell me if I'm overreacting to this, but this seems
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Problematic to me. He spoke with the Washington Post.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
This is before last night's game, and he said the
following about the AFC title game. This again from Lamar
Jackson quote, how I'm feeling right now. I wish I
was feeling like this body wise in the AFC title game.
We would have won that game. I would have been
able to move around for my guys. With me just
hurting and can't move. I know, if my legs were good,
we would have won that game. We wouldn't have even
(39:18):
had to throw the ball. F throwing the ball well, like,
if that's why the decision was made to lose all
this weight to become faster and all that, Like, if
he still isn't focusing on throwing the ball, aren't we
just coming back to the same issue to your point, Brady,
that we've had with Lamar Jackson this entire time. You
don't question his scrambling ability or his mobility. It's those
(39:40):
throws and the ability to throw the ball and make
those throws in critical moments and if even he is
recognizing following that game, in that AFC title game, Yeah, yeah,
but all that's nice, But I need to get back
to moving around and running the ball, f throwing the ball.
If that's still the priority. Maybe this is just the
best that it's going to be, and this is just.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Who he is.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
And there's nothing wrong with that, right because I think
there's a degree of he's phenomenal and that's why he's won.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Two mvpsy because of his ability to throw with his
ability to run.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
However, this is still a league that protects quarterbacks from
the pocket. It's still ultimately one from the pocket, and
you have to be able to utilize your ability to scramble, escape,
run when called upon. But you can't rely on it
to the point where it changes how And if you
(40:35):
ask Steve Spagnola what he probably wants him to do, yeah,
they want to bottle up Lamar Jackson and not let
him outside the pocket. But he's also cutting the field
in half. I mean, if we're being honest with ourselves,
Lamar's ability to throw is in the same as Patrick Mahomes,
where even when he gets outside the pocket, the entire
play excuse me, the entire field is still in play.
(40:56):
We don't see Lamar Jackson make, you know, scrambling to
his right, make a cross body throw back to his left.
That's that's not his game. He's gonna take off and runner.
He's gonna find something down in the middle to the
right hand side the way in which he's going, and
that's you know, Patrick mahomes superman ability. But it speaks
to a greater point of it's more difficult to stop
(41:16):
Patrick Mahomes because no matter where he is, the entire
field is still in play, as opposed to for Lamar Jackson.
If you do get him to scramble outside the pocket,
he's looking to run, which is tough to stop. But
he's also going to be limited in what he's doing
throwing the football down in that spot. And that was
in essence kind of what you saw last night, where
(41:38):
he's throwing a football to say Flowers, He's wide open
the back of the end zone and and you know,
whether it's a miscommunication, that stuff happens, and and in
real time it's hard to make it all work. But
I'm just stating the point that if you want to
win a Super Bowl, if you want to win the AFC.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
You have to hit that throw.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
Yeah, you got hit it, Isaiah Likely the guy who
had his toes were too big in order for the ball.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
I say the line was too big?
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Is that what I was?
Speaker 5 (42:07):
So he spoke afterwards about the final play in which
he was just out of bounds, and also apparently not
all that impressed with what Kansas City had to offer
last night.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
That's what I mean, man, I just got it.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
I gotta get both feet in.
Speaker 11 (42:21):
I gotta i harp myself to you know, catch everything,
make sure everybody plays in the best possibility. So I'll
take the responsibility next time we get my feet down.
This is probably the worst game we're gonna play all year,
So this is the best that they got.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
And good luck in the postseason. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (42:36):
So apparently not not sold on the Kansas City Chiefs
at this point.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
We're going for a three.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
Pet They frisky.
Speaker 6 (42:43):
Man, it's a frisky game, and I like that be competitive.
I mean, you lost, but I can I can understand where.
I mean, they could have won that game. They had
the opportunity to win that game, and in fact, even
after the miss too to say, Likely had the opportunity
to make that catch. So I would say this and
(43:08):
the true true, I guess feeling or essence of what
competition is. I like that you got a guys like
kind of saying that you know, coach might be like,
you might want to hold off on that they did
beat us, you know, let's get some wins under our belt.
But the fact that he has a chip on his shoulder,
(43:30):
and the fact that his takeaway from the game is
that this is the worst that we're going to play,
then good living that living that because it did look
like a team that wanted to win. That did not
look like a team that will not be competitive. They
look like they're going to be a good team this
year as well.
Speaker 5 (43:47):
Are you noticing a theme though? Baltimore, we could have
won that game. The Niners in the Super Bowl could
have won that game. The Bills in the playoffs could
have won that game. Like there's a lot of kudoves
and they're all involving the Chiefs on the other side or.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
A or a dope ass quarterback.
Speaker 5 (44:04):
But and it's like Kansas City in close games just
wins those games. It's it mirrors what New England was
all those years to where like New England was always
in close Super Bowls always, but it was like when
it came down to it, you just trusted they were
going to make the play or enough place to win
the games.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
So here we are.
Speaker 6 (44:21):
And again just like with with New England and then
the same with Kansas City, they have defense too. There
are other players, There are other players, but I just say,
when you get into that class where it's a class
all their own, like Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady, man,
I'm I'm I'm gonna put my money down on them.
