I brought the speaker in. I gave us a vibe.
It's the same genre of music, right, y'all. Didn't hear
no profanity, It was no stuff like this.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
So oh, it's joining time this joint right here. I've
got a theory, though, what's the theory?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
It just it takes you back to something, a moment
in time that life.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It's probably it's probably ninety seven in Florida.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
What the Citters Bowl.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
There's like probably a song or two that that I
heard back then that reminded me of that time. It
was a very very nice time, which, by the way,
thinking of college and playing for the team. Really cool
to see what I saw this morning. No disclosure, but
that's super cool man, super dope rats.

It is Super Bowl week. We are at Radio Row here.
We still don't have chairs.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Hour two, we still do not have chairs, or at
least chairs that are meant for this desk. So we
are sinking lower and lower behind the desk. Uh so
not exactly the setup they were looking for. So, I mean,
it's always that one thing.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Hey, what'd you forget? Apparently they just forgot chairs?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Dude?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Shall we hit Cafe DuMond up after this on the
way back to the guess?
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Nice little coffee again. Oh that's not you.
Speaker 7 (01:38):
You need to do that while you're here because you
you got a little bit of a sweet tooth.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
You just never need.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
The only problem the sunlight will be coming out and
it'll start the hitting, and you've got to get back.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
He's got to get back to his vote.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
You know, God forbid that that American losses his portable
coffin that he ships to everything occasionally goes to.

pulled out the six shooter and that'll work.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I don't know about all that anyway, it's nice.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
It's a nice hotel lobby. So shouts out.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
We figured out by the way. I know we joked
about it last segment, but has Lee found a place
to live?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That's a great pool because we were we were on
the herd when we do what the hell is going
on with?

So here's the situation, Lee to lapse on Friday. We
(03:45):
had no idea this was happening. We were filling in
on the Herd and Ryan Music knew before us, and
I knew that Lee looked a little down, more so
than usual. He's pretty jovial and like a you know,
you know, like standard Lee, and he looked a little
down and out. And as it turns out, it's because
(04:06):
he's homeless.

I was getting messages all weekend from very worried Lee
Rena lovers who were who were like, oh my gosh,

Speaker 4 (04:50):
No, no, no, no, hold on?
Speaker 7 (04:51):

Speaker 8 (05:00):
Iranians all weekend? So I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Actually, well, why do you talk to Ray?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Well, she's going to hear the story of why I've
been busy all week.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, righty hear the story.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
But this is this is all karma after what you
did to this poor girl.
Speaker 9 (05:24):
I know, I think it. I think you might be right.
Karma's got me good.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (05:29):
So I found out Thursday that I am homeless because
my place has been rented out for over a month.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
So I had to clear out.
Speaker 10 (05:36):
It's kind of like being evicted, but worse because then
I got to clean the place.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And so, yeah, I would eviction be the reference points.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Well, it's like I had your apartment.
Speaker 10 (05:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's nice, it's it's it's it's working out.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
But no, I had to clean out.
Speaker 10 (05:53):
I wasn't prepared, so I had to pack everything up,
put it into storage or elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
You had to pack up and put everything or did
y'all have to pack up and put everything in store?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
No? Uh yeah no. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (06:09):
She flew in from Las Vegas. She was out on
a business trip. She came back she was in Vegas.
Speaker 9 (06:15):
And helped pack up, and then I drove her right
back to the.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
When y'all helped pack up, did y'all put y'all stuff
in the same storage?
Speaker 10 (06:25):
We have two storage units right next to each other,
hers and mine, but yeah, some of hers is in
mind but some of mine her.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
So y'all using the same storage.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Well you've you've been in her.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
And and when you get back from here, and when
she gets back from wherever she's going to be, will
you guys be homeless together? Will you guys be homeless together?
Or will you find new plates together? Out of no,
I think I think separate.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (06:52):
I think I'm gonna be couch surfing, probably at the
folks spot or elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
And I think she's got surfing and yeah, couch.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Parents have an extra Edward you're staying? Yeah, yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
And where will she be staying?
Speaker 10 (07:05):
She's probably she's got stuff to do over the other
side of the pond. So she's going to England.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
She's kind of big time, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
So Larinians, this is the This is the opening.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
This, this is the opportunity get back in the gym,
the game.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
We could couch surf together.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
As money as Mary.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I think we we've come up with at least the plot.
And I don't know, hold on, hold on, Lorna, throw on,
throw on the.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
Music, I think, and get over is that I don't
know that Lee plays in the same box that we're
raising whoa.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I'm just saying, what do you mean by that? Yes,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I mean Lorena ain't all the way out of that
box either.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Point four percent?
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Actually, yeah, out of that.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Right?
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I mean the real question that Lee, is point four
percent enough for you?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I'm very help.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
I love Lorena, but I'm very happy where I'm at.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
So yeah, I just.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Can't believe that you are out right in the public district.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Man, It's not okay.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Does anybody else find it? And you can go ahead
and crank up.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Ray Ray, by the way, I want you to know that,
and this whole thing. I'm team Ray Ray.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
The Laranians are a team Ray.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Anybody find it a little bit suspect that this all
of a sudden move and renting out of the place
just so coincided when your better half was traveling and
was a way to have to deal with the mess.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
It raises the antennas. But I can't tell you who.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And it just happened to have She just happened to
have a trip line up to Sweden right afterwards.
Speaker 9 (09:06):
And come on, she did not have it lined up,
but she could.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
She's gonna do.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
She doesn't have a Swedish lover over there. She might
I don't know, I don't care.
Speaker 10 (09:13):
Maybe if they're paying my rent, then go for it.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Maybe there's like a Swedish swing in there, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Just I mean, do you fail to mension that she
was in Vegas too?
Speaker 11 (09:27):
She's in Arizona now, yeah, oh my gosh, that's just
as bad they call they call Arizona little little Vegas.
Speaker 3 (09:36):

Speaker 9 (10:32):
All right, all right, that's that's what she's talking about.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Oh no, yeah, listen, So we were we were unaware
that Lee was homeless until till Friday.
Speaker 2 (10:47):

Speaker 9 (10:57):

Speaker 11 (11:07):
A dead man walking, say my name, say it, I'm smashing.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Lead to lapse.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
People like, dang, that's the dude that be on the radio.
Because when you get out of it, Damn, that's saying

Speaker 3 (11:34):
I went over and you went over. We dropped.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Oh wow, Get back into gym with Lorena. Make the
Lorrainians happy, find a place to stay. Don't couch surf
or couch surf together.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
If they ask for a picture of you one more time,
I swear to God, where's Lee Lee.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
It's a real thing.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
A ray started, started a social media account.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
I was going to when we first went to Disneyland,
but then I thought I might get murdered.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
You're fine now.
Speaker 9 (12:18):
All chances of getting murdered are never zero.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I worried about, like that whole situation, getting you murdered.
There's a lot of other things. You put yourself in.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
That night alone every time.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
It's and that can end up service station, Loraina, you
had verbal can't deliver packages to the studio one day?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
That is very true. That is funny as hell. That
might be the funniest.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Are like a box of goodies and walks out like
this and the second she turns around you just start
walking to start walking normal?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
What you call him verbal? Can't you know.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Usual?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Usual suspect?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Well listen now see I know, I know it's usual suspect.
I mean listen, we can all sit here and like
you know, have fun with this and all that. The
fact of the matter is, LeVar, sorry for your loss.
Just want to get that out of the way.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Because the Pro Bowl you knew.
Speaker 12 (13:24):
Oh dead man, can I ask this? That's wan that's
serious questions, serious question.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
We we we talked about this last week a little bit.
But when we talk about like when you were like, yeah, man,
I went to three Pro Bowls, it's like when you
went to Pro.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Bowl, it mattered. Not only did it matter, it was
like this badge of dude.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
You made it. You made a Pro Bowl like you
legit were one of those dudes in the NFL. And
so now when you look at players legacies and.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You look impacts their legacy, well, well no, no doubt,
no doubt, and if that impacts it, But what I'm
saying is it's different though.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
There's a there's a line that's been drawn.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Yeah where now when you see who guys are Pro
Bowls right now, we all go all right, well, was
he really though? Or he was like the sixth seventh alternate.
And and I'm not saying this because I was obviously
never a Pro Bowl player. I'm not saying this in
any disrespectful way. I'm just drawing attention to the fact
that there was a line that was drawn where you
started to say, this isn't the real Pro Bowl that
(14:31):
these guys have made compared to what it used to
be and what it means in the past.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Well, and the reason why I say it impacts your
legacy is because the Pro Bowl was an experience that
was truly connected to the season, Like that game was
connected to the season. Like it wasn't the like craziest,
most competitive deal, but the experience of Honolulu was solidified.
(14:58):
Like get across the water, especially amongst the players, get
across that water, you want That was the ultimate exclamation
point for because most of us play on teams that
aren't going to be competing to play in the Super Bowl.
And and for what it's worth, even if you went
far into the playoffs, it still was a great consolation prize.
(15:22):
Is that, if I said it right, consolation prize for
losing in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
So once you got to like one like the Brett
Farbes and those guys, once you got to like six
seven Pro Bowls, they were declining to come. But with
that being said, for the most part, everybody came to
the Pro Bowl because it represented status. Like like you said,
I'm a pro bowler back then that the impact of
(15:50):
it was different.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
You walk into a locker room, he's a pro bowler,
you know.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
And really you said it more than you said all pro,
which I think all pro always has held more it
should hold more weight, but pro bowler was right on
par I think now it looking at how that like
you're putting on like he man gloves.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
And so do you feel like because it's impacted negatively your.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Legacy, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I think I think what it does is it devalues
what the pro Bowl represents so much that the conversation
of it alone kind of diminishes.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
It's like, Okay, the Pro Bowl, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I mean like you're not getting into talking about the
history of it or who played in it and who
was a part of it. Especially now with these new
generations of people, they don't invest the time to knowing
the history of these things. So I think it's a
big miss on on the NFL's part because you've now
created a spectacle that's more going to be looked at
(16:59):
as the spectac cool more than like more than the value,
the total value of this is because of the way
these guys performed that they're being rewarded this.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
We talk about the NBA with their gimmicky ideas.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
They come up with the nc gimmick, the.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Ten minute quarters, Adam Silver didter didn't throw out there
on the damn This is right on par with that.
Like the Pro Bowl sucks. I didn't even know when
it was. I didn't know if it was Saturday or Sunday.
But I'm seeing like guys jumping into like a foam box,
like with like foam throwing, you know, hope smash. It's
(17:37):
such a ball out of a joke. Here's what to understand,
because I take a ball into.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Holes like that was actually the most entertaining.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I just it's just.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Why they they showed a there was a Pro Bowl
on that I was that I saw from the early
two thousands when Drew Brees was with the Chargers still
and look it wasn't full contact obviously, and guys were
laying up a little bit, but at least Taylor and others. Yeah,
but it was like a presentable product. Yeah, this is
(18:05):
not like nobody cares about this crap. So I'm just
wondering at this point, what is the point.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I just thought it really like I thought it to
be really cool to see the best of the best
out there on the field together, Like the fact that
I was in a Pro Bowl with Keith Brookings, with
Brian Urlacker, with Julian Peterson and we're all on the
same line back and corps and we get to look
across and line of like we were just be just
(18:35):
at the Buckets Award. I was with Dana Howard and
Kevin Kevin Hardy. I was like Kevin, I was like, Bro,
could you imagine us being in our primes playing on
the same field together, Like it's the same idea of it.
Like I'm looking in front of me and I'm seeing
the best of the best football players in front of me.
Chris Jenkins is there, John Randall, you know, you got
(18:57):
these amazing football players that Simi and Rice, and it's
like you get an opportunity as a player, not just
as the fans like, which for the fans, you have
to assume that that's pretty dope too, because it's like
if I could play a video game, because yeah, I
think back then you didn't have video games that would
really allow you to simulate and build your roster the
(19:18):
way that you did. You had to play it the
way it was, but it is what football is now.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
You can build your roster. So now you're looking at
a Pro Bowl and.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It's like you got Ray Lewis and Takeo Spikes and
and and Willie McGinnis and these these guys are all
on the field at the same time. That's wild, man,
that's wild to like fathom that, Like, I don't care
if you guys and we did tackle, right, we did.
We like dudes weren't out there trying to hurt guys
(19:48):
or anything like it wasn't like a real like like
real real like we're playing for super Bowl type type
of of level.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
But we wanted the money.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Did anybody ever get hurt? I don't recall anybody because.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
The tyler I forgot hurt? Right, did he? I thought
he got hurt.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Was it Robert Edwards who got hurt in the sand pit?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, I mean ruined his career? Yeah, I mean, I'll
say this. Have there probably been injuries. Of course, there's
probably been injuries, But I'm just saying, guys wanted to
win the game because you would get you got you
got an amount to come play in the game, and
then you got it.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
It doubled. It was doubled if you won the game.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
So you could see from from first half to second half.
You could see the intensity level go up in the
second half, like we're trying to win this god damn game.
Like you start thinking about how many people you brought
to the game, the tickets that, how much you're paying
for food, who you brought to the game, how many
(20:49):
of who's you brought to the game, what they're doing had.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
A freak ankle injury?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Oh jeez, Yeah, I just want to pay you want
to pay them bills off.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
Man, I remember, I mean the reality is the contracts
have gotten so big now that it's it's not worth it. Yeah,
and I probably have to, honestly, like what the NFL
would have to do, increase the monetary value for the
winners and what they're being paid to go and then
get everyone an insurance policy for that one game that
that would be literally how you'd have to go about
doing it, and then bring back hitting, bring back some.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Sort of competition to it.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
But but but even then, I guess my question is,
and you kind of brought this up with Drake May
making it as a quarterback, like if he's playing it,
does that really change anything? Because that's the reality is
once they came to Orlando and they kind of tried
to figure out how they're gonna do this, it's lost
all its luster. I mean, I'm much Jonas.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Take it back to Hawaii, Yes, take it back to
And I would venture to say this, like the fact
that some of these guys were named to the Pro Bowl.
The Pro Bowl is a lot like the Hall of
Fame and and some regards like you have to deserve
to be there because if you go there and you're
not supposed to be there. You almost feel like you're
(22:00):
out of like you're not you're not in, you're not in,
like you're here, but you shouldn't be here, Like they'll
look at you that way. You know, if if we
were in Hawaii and Drake May came walking up to
the bar, everybody'd be like this, and I mean, make
no bones about looking at him, uncomfortably staring at him.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
And then he comes, hey guys, hey guys.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Yeah, yeah, I'll think another my time we start talking.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I mean, and that's why it was like the whole
alternate thing. Unless you were like a guy guy, like
a guy that was coming as an alternate, you come
as an alternate. It's like, yeah, he should have been
a first, like he should have been that guy anyway.
But if like a guy like Drake May is like
why are you here? If a guy like that is there,
they made you feel like that.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Yes or no.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Lincoln Kennedy told me this that at the Pro Bowl.
I asked him, was like, so, how's the scene there?
He goes, she the first two rows behind the bench, I.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Met, I met God. It was an amazing experience.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
It was an amazing time in your life and to
be a part of the game. You were like the
main attraction of the week. So when you went out,
like because we stayed. Look at it, it's like the
Eli where we stayed was the place where you stayed.
That that was the most important person, your girlfriend or
your wife, that's where your kids are, this and that
(23:32):
and then Waki Key so you had a room. Look
I'm stitching, but and we don't do it anymore, so
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
You had your your space.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
And your home front at at the Eilani and then
you went to waiki Ki and that was you had
your room and that.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Was your jump off, your practice there you had that
you had like I do.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
I do appreciate you using the friends jump off.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
You had you jump off.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
I have heard jump off used in probably six different ways.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
It's been used as if an aerial disease.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Wow, I've never heard that jump prop. It probably was
probably was involved.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
I've heard of used that concept. That was probably a
second hotel and all that or you know, that was
probably involved. So I wouldn't say that jump off.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Is off on on that terminology because there was a
whole lot of jump off material in Wacky Key that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
It is two Pros and a cup of Joe here
on Fox Sports Radio, live from New Orleans for Super
Bowl Week.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Here Radio Row.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Coming up next here though we have another name. Somebody
else is jumping ship. They are gone. We'll explain why.
It's a football story translates all the way over to
the NFL, and that's next here on FSR.
Speaker 13 (24:44):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
It is two Pros and a Cup of Joe.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Fox Sports, far Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you
here Zero and those planets have a line.
Speaker 14 (25:10):
We've got chairs now, Zeppelins, God Lee, Superpowers.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Coming up and uh we'll call on about ten minutes
from now here from the tiraq dot Com studios, we
are going to have another FSR I R and who
knows what the hell we could have in store for
us here as we are live from New Orleans for
a Super Bowl week here at Radio Row. So first
(25:49):
it was the defensive coordinator now it's the offensive coordinator.
Ohio State has now lost their DC and their o C.
Chip Kelly. Yes, he got on returning to the NFL.
He is going to become the Raiders offensive coordinator. So
same title jumps back to the NFL. We kind of
(26:09):
speculated this was a possibility. Demiko Ryans was rumored to
have some interest. He was a player that Chip Kelly
coach while he was still in Philly, and he's looking
for an o C at the time in Houston.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
As the head coach of the Texans.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yes, they're trying to take him to Oakland.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
They're trying to bring hoston.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Oh chip Kelly was trying to Okay, they were trying
to get.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
To Goobby Slowik, who everyone was interviewing for a head
coaching jobs last offseason.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
This season, they weren't as good and he gets fired.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yeah, I got so clipped. I mean what wow? The NFL.
That's that.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
The Pac twelve guys reunite. They take it out west
to Vegas level.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
You've got Pete Carroll obviously used to go up against.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Andy Reid and spags.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah at Stanford horrible, Hey man, the West that's gonna be.
That's dang, I just wonder again, I don't care. I
said this before. If Jesus of Nazareth came to Las
(27:19):
Vegas to coach the Raiders, he would not be able
not part in the rigs.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
See, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
All the miracles everybody talk about, there's not a miracle.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
That he'd be able to bring for the Raiders to
win with this current roster.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
That's what makes your decision.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
I mean, I'm just saying like, I don't care how
good your coaches are.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
That's what makes the decision a little bit interesting your
I mean, if you look at why Chip Kelly went
to Ohio stay in the first place, he left the
head coaching, left head coaching John to become an OC
and Colin take a step back. And also that I
think help out his friend Ryan Day Yep, I'm sure Ryan,
between all parties involved, is like, hey man, we got
something special and if this, if this team plays with
(27:59):
it's cameove you come here or help me.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
We're gonna win a national championship.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
So you get up out of here.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
The job is done.
Speaker 7 (28:05):
But you know, Chip just wants to coach ball and
get back to the NFL, not worry about nil, not
worry about all.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
That other crap.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
And if he becomes a head coach again, meg it
so in the NFL.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
This is probably his best path to do so because
Pete Carroll is seventy three years old. So imagine if
things go well for Las Vegas, who would be the
coach and waiting? Yeah, I mean I think if you're
a chip Kelly, if you're looking at it from an
opportunistic standpoint, like, yeah, you don't know who your quarterback is,
(28:35):
that's a big time concern, but you're probably gonna find
it in this year's draft, and there's most likely the
opportunity that you could make this into you becoming the
head coach.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Why if they don't build that roster, if that's a
long shot that will get out, and then.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
There's there's a long we have a long time to
look ahead to this. But I'll just ask the question. Now,
you lose your offensive coordinator, you lose your defense coordinator.
You're losing a bunch of players. Ohio State is this year.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Michigan they got the war test.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
All right, So does that mean next year they come
back they're not as good as they were this year?
Michigan's better so we're gonna look at another year. They're
probably gonna lose to Michigan at the beg end, it's potential.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Play up there. So that's part of that equation. Bryce.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
If Bryce Underwood's what everyone says, he's going to be
a five star quarterback that should start as a freshman,
that would give you that Michigan you were talking about him.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
It just it's it's funny because even while winning the
national title, still it's it's still I it just doesn't
feel I just thinking about how to explain it to
people just talking about it.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Understand the Ohio State Michigan rivalry. It's just different.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
It's just it's it's something where like it means so
much to both fan base and people try to downplay
it when they're down and Ohio State can and obviously
they have the national championship, more power to them, But
no Buckeyes fan can be honest and sit there and
say like it's the same as winning a national championship
when you beat Michigan. It's it's just not Michigan always
(30:14):
has that over their head.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
You know what's amazing about the matchup two.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
So when going into the game, Ohio State Notre Dame
for the national title. The previous loss, all anybody wanted
to talk about was Ohio State losing to Michigan.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
You didn't hear anything about Northern Illinois.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
You didn't hear anything about if Notre Dame would have
won that game, and nobody's bringing up yeah, but you
lost in Northern Illinois.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
It's like, hey, you had a.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Hiccup, you bounce back, all good, instead of hey, Ohio State,
you had a hiccup against a really good program, but
you bounce back and it's all good. It's no, No,
that's the same hiccup you always got. And it just
feels like they're it. It's not that they're not going
to be recognized as national champions. It just doesn't feel
(30:59):
the same as other champions have felt in the past.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Which is that's crazy, but it's true crazy. I mean,
and I hear you.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I just I just think that you get it done
and ultimately you still have to remember them for winning
it all. That's that's first and foremost. And like you said,
you know, hiccups do happen. It's a it's a long season.
Things things happened, Like like you said, losing to Northern Illinois.
(31:29):
I looked at it like, you know what, if you're
going to catch a team, you catch.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Them early in the year.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
So to me, that would probably be the most damning
part to what happened to Ohio State is that not.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Only did you lose to Michigan, but.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
You lost to them at home and you lost to
them late in the season. But with that being said,
who's to say that wasn't the catalyst to them being
able to rally and say, look, it's us against the world.
Can you imagine what those guys heard after they lost
to Michigan.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
In the in the shoe?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (32:07):
I heard it on the phone?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
So they so they probably came together and was like, hey, man,
like you hear the way they're talking about us. Our
own fans and our own community has turned their back
on us, and that becomes a rallying point for them
to do what it is that they were able to accomplish.
So to me, they accomplished what they needed to accomplish.
My biggest question is is that even with nil and
(32:29):
nil money, how do you replace the leadership, the experience
of Knowles and Kelly in a year like you can
have all the money you want to have. But if
you can't replace them with coordinators that can bring to
the table with especially when Okay, Chip goes to the league,
that's a different that's different altogether. At least you don't
(32:51):
have to face him or deal with him at some
school somewhere else, But you do got to deal with Knowles.
He's directly impacting you because he's in the same conference.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Is you. There's a lie here to this.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
It's going to become super competitive for a lot of
different reasons.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
They'll find good coaches to replace those spots.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
I mean, the one thing that Ryan always has in
his back pocket is he can call an offense, you know.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
So the Knowles replacement is huge.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
It's monumental because it's brought back a Buckeye defense that's
been that silver bullet tradition that people would talk about,
you know, back in the day.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
So that that's gonna be huge.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
To your point, like they got to face that now
every year I look at it more and I'm kind
of curious because everyone's talking about twenty million dollars roster.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Like the more digging I did.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
So there's two collectives there at Columbus. There's the Foundation,
which is a nonprofit that's tax exemp so you can
look up their documents. I think they raised like three four, five,
six months something like that.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
It's not much.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
And then there's the eighteen seventy Society, which if it's
a twenty million dollars roster, that's a for profit venture,
so I can't look up any of the.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Numbers to it.
Speaker 7 (33:56):
But they had to have been the Lion's share of
whatever they were paying that roster. And I think part
of the concern with NIL as it currently states, because
we don't have the house NCAA settlement yet, is the
models not sustainable.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
We saw with.
Speaker 7 (34:12):
Michigan they went all in for that one year they
were able to win a national championship.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Harbaugh leaves, coaches leave players.
Speaker 7 (34:21):
Obviously, everyone graduates, guys who are paid to come back,
they're all gone. And so Ohio State really replicate a
similar model and they go all in for this one year.
They get what they were hoping for, they got a
national championship. But now you've got coaches leaving, players leaving,
so you've got all these different issues of trying to
rebuild the roster, rebuild your coaching staff, and on top
(34:41):
of it, do you have the same outpouring of money
coming into this from an nil standpoint, because if it's
a for profavenure like that, they're not receiving any benefit
outside of whatever you know, that collective or maybe the
university's helping out provide to some degree. So it's hard
because like, what's the ROI when you put money into
(35:02):
you know, some of these different collectives you're helping to
support the program. You're trying to make sure your team
can win a national champion. That's what it's about. And
so now like they got that, so are they as
enthusiastic about doing it again. It's it's a heavy price
to pay for a lot of these deep pocketed donors
because outside of we being able to see their team
win it, they've got to say, all right, let's do
it again. Let's do it in another million bucks for
(35:23):
this guy, and another million and another million.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I mean, we'll take this year off.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
We donated last year, We'll take this year out, and
then what does that do to the program?
Speaker 3 (35:31):
And I know we definitely got a break.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
I will say this for all for what it's worth,
the model was proven to be correct, though it will
I mean, at the end of.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
The day one year that one year like again it
did work.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Oregon's supposed to be doing that now and then her
Michigan states into that Penn State is definitely on on
the on the heat trail of So it's going to
become that's going to become the standard, that's going to
become the Norman for what is where there have always
been people who wanted to be a part of helping
(36:06):
purchase or contribute to a team a program being successful,
and now people are able to do it and not
have any shame or how in the shadows as to like,
you know, walking around like I'm the one that helped
build this thing, like it's here and now like boom
right front of you, leaky.
