Speaker 5 (02:07):
Well.
Speaker 7 (02:07):
As mentioned by Steve de Sager and our award winning
update that we just heard a short time ago, it
was big numbers. Speaking of entertainment and college football. While
you guys are in Vegas celebrating the College Football Hall
of Famers, the biggest ratings wise conference game of the
weekend conference championship game in college football goes to the
(02:31):
Big Ten Title game, Eighteen point three million viewers watched
Saturday's Big Ten championship game between Ohio State and Indiana,
the most watched Big Ten championship game on record, also
the most watched championship game of the weekend. So congratulations
to Bradon t quinn. A lot of people saw you,
(02:54):
A lot of people saw your work. I just wanted
to point that out.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
Well, Ok, there, I it was there. I do I
do find it. Is anyone else going to question the
fact that, like with the new Nielsen rating system, that
the numbers.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It's a new record, it's a new record.
Speaker 8 (03:12):
It's like at some point, I mean, it just has
to stop. Like everything's gonna keep growing forever.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Is it. I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
No, but you know they'll find some way to manipulate it.
Speaker 8 (03:23):
But also, hey, by the way, King of Kings of
college football, it's in the Big Ten.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
And by the way, it's not even close to the
Thanksgiving numbers that the NFL were doing. I'm curious as
to will there come a time where college is where
where it catches up.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I wonder, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
I just the markets are so much bigger, you know,
I mean, the fan like think about some of that,
and and really, you know, I think it's so I
think to your point, though, there could be a world
where it happens.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You know, someone said this to me for the game.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
We had to go out to a uh a big
ten event and the woman like tab She said, you know,
Indiana has the largest living which obviously if you're an alumni.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
And you you know, no one's no one's.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Due's paying alumnis if they're dead, but they're like the
largest living alumni association.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I was like, really, okay, So I said.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
To her, go, how can that be, Like Penn State's
a bigger school, High State's a bigger school. Google it.
We did, and she was right. She right, But my
thing is eight hundred thousand or something.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Well, then they might have us, because I think we're
like high seven hundred.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
But it doesn't make any conceptual sense, Like if you
have a bigger school, you have more people graduating every year,
you would theoretically have a bigger alumni base or association.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
So maybe it's just people aren't paying the what that's
what I guess.
Speaker 8 (04:56):
My point is every single year you're turning out alumni,
whether it's Texas or Ohio State, somebody's huge schools that
you would think would be like born into being fans
that school, and so the NFL doesn't university that's crazy, right,
But the NFL doesn't have that recently surpassing us for
(05:17):
the top spot. The NFL has to work to be
able to get those like fans, you know, fans born
into it.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Every single year you've got new applicants.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
Going to schools that that's why they go there in
part they want to be a football fan.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
So I do think there's a world where college football is.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
Still growing and will continue to keep growing, whereas the NFL,
I don't know if the growth will be quite as.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Big, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
I think the landscape of college football is so underdeveloped
because you can only do so much business before you
have to have the conversation of employee versus student. And
the NFL has been able to market, brand, use their athletes,
(06:08):
use everything that they have to be able to create
these shows that build the popularity of wanting to watch.
I feel like there's a golden opportunity here with the
way things are shaping up, with the new rules and
how things are done at the college level, where if
there is an active interest taken into making the conferences
(06:32):
bigger and making what that represents, because to me, I
just I look at it, like, okay, is a game
between who was it? Dallas and who who was it?
They played a Green Bay on a city right ganst City.
It's a game between Dallas and Kansas City. Just a
regular game on a holiday, just a regular game. You're
(06:56):
telling me that there shouldn't be the potential. If I'm
a decision maker for the Big Ten Conference, I'm looking
at it and I'm saying, okay, like, how do we
make a singular game, like say a Big Ten championship game?
If I'm the SEC, why do I not sit there
and say, you know what, how do we not make
(07:18):
our SEC championship game bigger than one game? That's just
the game in the National Football League. There's no implications
or anything really connected to the game. And you got
forty million people watching it? Was it forty to fifty million?
Speaker 8 (07:35):
It's more than that fifty eight fifty eight that's flipping wild,
that's gret that's that's I mean fifteen million to fifty
eight million.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
How many times over? Is that? Like what? Four? Three
or four times more it's a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
It's lots crazy, man, it's a lot of people talking
to their family.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Fifteen or fifteen, that's thirty. So it's like, yeah, it's
like right at almost four times. It's a three high
three times over, but right there at four, I mean,
I would think that that is a market share that
you can tap into. And it's not. You're taking it
away from the National Football League. Those numbers are still
(08:18):
going to be those numbers. But can you take a
championship game and take it up into those those outer
layers of numbers, because then now that generates more money
for the conference. If it's generating more money for the conference,
then obviously the TV deal is going to generate more
money for all the teams in the conference.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Better players, better product.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
Let me ask this question, though, was it because it
was a conference championship, Because we talked earlier about those
almost becoming a bit irrelevant at least in the grand
scheme of things, right, and not to get back into
the debate of the playoff. It could tie in though,
but there is no downside risk for Bamada Luz Right,
you roll the ball out. Georgia kicked the crap out
(09:02):
of them still in the playoff. And but on the
flip side, you know, if you're BYU or you know,
I guess if you're Duke, you win it, you don't
go and play. So we're kind of questioning how worthy
are they have really like remaining. So to me, the
rating probably had more to do with the Ohio s
Day brand, the story of Indiana. But the fact that
(09:23):
they're one two, Yeah, that is that fair to say? Yeah,
because you have two undefeated teams only two left. First
time we've seen that in seventeen years in college football,
and that's that's what Like, I wonder does that rating
happen if it's just one verse two anyway?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
I mean, you know, you know.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
What I'm saying, like that, if that if that game
happened in week eleven and they're both undefeated in the
college football season, one verse two, do you do you
get that rating regards?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I think you do well.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
I mean, what was it going against as well?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Too? And that's the well there was one that it's
the a SEC championship game.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yeah was what did they get?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
What's overtime? It wasn't very It was a fun game
to watch.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
I wonder what it was competing with another game, and
that game with Dallas and Kansas City was not. That
was like a late game, right, that was like standalone games. Yeah,
I just which is interesting because if I'm the a
CEC and I'm the Big ten, shouldn't you at least
at some moment had the conversation of or at the
(10:28):
TV channels, the stations and network like, let's not run
the games at the same time.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
Okay, well that would What would need to happen for
that to happen is if you follow some of the
news about the score Act and everything, that's where you're
going to be able to get everything that kind of.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Start to come together.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
So all these schools would then come together to then
raise the cost of the actual media, rightes.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, I mean that that's a discussion.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
But because it would, it would lead to problems lee
higher rated gain VI ratings, bigger matchups, and you get
bigger dollars, big bigger AD dollars, That's what I'm saying. Like,
so even if even if I'm the SEC and I
don't bang with you know, the Big ten like that,
even if I'm ESPN and I don't bang with Fox
(11:17):
like that we still got to come together and talk
and say listen, if you guys ball out and do
what y'all need to do on this side, it makes
college football, the sport, the product of it much better
for everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And and and that goes for you as well.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
There's there's an equal trade off here on us being
able to leverage and create and grow this number. It
just almost seems like don't they do that with the
National Football League? Like they they they have those conversations
like Fox.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Is going to get this game.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
You know, the ESPN is going to see, CBS is
going to get this game. Now Prime is in play,
and you know like YouTube is in YouTube, TV is
in play. Why can't you start to have those conversations
for the college the college level of it, Because to me,
I like, like, for instance, like talking to coach Campbell
(12:06):
right and it's like, oh, you were teammates with Nick Siriani.
You guys are sare you guys are sharing the same
fan base. But when you think about it, he only
gets the eastern side of the state. You get the
entire state. So you in theory, Pit State Pitt fans have.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Something to say about that.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Yeah, in theory you get both sides of the state
in terms in terms of support of your team.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
You know, that's that's what I mean. If you're going
to see the look, Jonah.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
How do you not leverage that properly to be able
to maximize how large some of these fan bases are?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You know?
Speaker 8 (12:56):
It is interesting though, right, Jona's like, if you think
about it, I mean, how how are Dallas Cowboys fans
born into their fandom?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Right? Their dad, their mom someone, yes, but what do
you just move to Dallas? You're like, hey, I'm.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
Gonna be a Cowboys fan because everyone else is written
for Dallas.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
It's also and Jerry Jones was real smart about this,
and you know they might have actually been doing this
before he took over the team. But I remember they
used to come out and have training camp out here
in Thousand Oaks, even before.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
They were at Oxnard, and so they I think he's.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Where in California a Thousand Oaks and then Knox Snard
as well too as well at now, but they would
have training camp out here, and You're like, why would
you travel all the way out here if you're based
in Texas. And then now you look at it and
you go man, the Cowboys fan base in southern California
is strong, like their fan base everywhere because I think
Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
There's a lot of groupies on front Runners in California.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Though, And and also there was no team.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Fans like it's all the like normal teams that anybody
would be like fans, and.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
There was there was no team out here for twenty
plus years, and so people just sort of grabbed onto
the Cowboys. It's why the Niners fan base takes over,
it's why the But in college and you mentioned Ohio State,
in the Ohio State brand, there's like random Ohio State
bars out here where when Ohio State's playing.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
It's not random though, That's the thing about it. And
you got to take into consider in.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
The middle of Woodland Hills there's just not a Ryo
State bar.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Yes, yes, because the majors, like Ohio State, they have
as you heard c mentioned earlier about Indiana, you have
these strongholds of fan base, alumni bases, chapters in these
different places, and they're going to have places to go,
(14:50):
like whether they open the bar, whether they take over
the bar, and they come in and put their flags
up and do their parties and have their chapter party,
their watch parties. That's all over the country. In fact,
it's all over the world.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Actually it's also why you know when Notre Dame's talking about,
you know, why would the ACC single us out?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Why? And people can get annoyed with that all they want.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
But you're hurting. You're hurting hundred percent because do anything.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
To devalue your biggest partner and partner and your money
earning partner, you're only hurting the value of what you
have going on with your bottom line.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Because I'll be honest with you, majority of people in
the country don't give a rip about ninety percent of
the ACC.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
They don't care.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
I wouldn't be able to tell you ninety percent. I
would be able to tell you one hundred percent of
the teams in the ACE, So.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Like if that if that team is It's like when
you know, you play a small school, like when a
Michigan plays nap State or somebody plays a you know,
a Toledo Tech, and it's like, well, why would they
take that They're going to get blown out? Well, I
mean eyeballs, money, revenue, like everything that comes along with it.
We'll take an ass beating if we're going to get
half a million dollars. It's going to help our program.
(16:00):
Why like, why would you not welcome in with open arms,
a big brand in any conference, Like, yes, please let
us be a part of this, so real quick.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Just because the whole I mean, we're venturing down the
road that like we've tiptoed around it and I haven't
spoken about this, but step in it. No, there's here's
there's there's a history of reason behind why Notre Dame
once it's independence, and I want people to understand there
was a deep tie with Notre Dame to the Catholic Church.
I think that's pretty apparent. But just so people understand,
because this has happened a long time ago. So back
(16:33):
in like the early nineteen hundreds, the Big Ten was
called the Western Conference at that time, and at that time,
you know, the Western Conference refused to schedule Notre Dame.
And they refuse to do it not because of the athletics,
because they were Catholic. There was an anti Catholic prejudice.
So not a lot of people understand this, but that's
(16:55):
really like under new Rockney, Notre Dame you know, had
to kind of barnstorm across the country to play other teams.
So that's how their national following came about. And it
was in large part this movement against, this anti Catholic
movement against Notre Dame was really Michigan.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
They were kind of pushing it back then.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
So I know, we're, you know now in twenty twenty
five and we're like, oh, it's one hundred some years later.
There is still this deep rooted sense of this is
who we are and it's not just about football for
Notre Dame. And I can say this as someone who
when I looked at Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Tennessee,
there's like my final four schools at that time when
(17:38):
I was coming out of high school.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
My choice was like, they're all great choices.
Speaker 8 (17:44):
I couldn't have gone wrong with the football and the academics.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
It was a spiritual thing for me.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
And not to sound like corny and all that, but like,
I just felt like there was a spiritual pulling for
me to go.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Develop as young man at Notre Dame.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
And that thing is real for a lot of people
who go there, and people who are in particular Catholic
too that have a passion for it. There's it's just
a different feel. And if you've been there, you've gone
to it, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
I love Catholic. Well I'm not Catholic, but I love it.
Y'all don't like staying in there long. Y'all get up
in there, and y'all get up out of there.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
First, hold on.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
Ask Jonas that yeah, just Jonas's family might say the
exact dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
And there's some long Catholic masses out there too, are Try.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
The Spanish Mass. Yeah, that's a whole story.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Never been in a mass that lasted longer than thirty
forty minutes ever. Oh, and I'll be all in and
get up in there, hit your knees, say a couple
of things. Do your hell marriage. I don't want to
distract us too much. But I also just said, you know,
I had to go to church all the time. Preacher's kid.
You get into them revivals and all them things that's going.
(18:52):
You're in church from sun up to sundown into the
next sun back up, you know, and then then you
get I understand.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
But general point is, so when people talk about Notre
Dame joining a conference, like, oh, they need to join
a conference, you know, honestly, Like black folks love being
in church, man, well, depending which church you love being
in church? Depends on which church.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Well sometimes, but in each one of them, you're throwing money,
you know what I mean, You're making a rain in
both places, whether whether they're the preacher in the pool pit, Like.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Isn't it kind of wild that you have a pool pit?
Don't get you do it? You do it again just
to put a cap.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
On that you're elevated in front of the audience watching you,
and then you want them to give you money. Like
there's some simularities between the two professions if people were
following me.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
But anyway, though, the point is everyone's trying to get
Notre Dame to join a conference. The reality is they
never did because they had to become independent in order
to survive and then have their football team.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So it's building that mission.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
It's been built on that identity forever and that's what's
helping to create a national presence.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
And y'all have been successful doing it. Like keep that
in mind. It's not as though you guys are doing it.
It's like God, it's a dying deal. Like you guys
need to get in on, like y'all were just in
the National Title game, and so it's not as though
you guys are losing have lost momentum of being this
this juggernut you know program. I mean, a lot of
(20:21):
people that don't look at it from the way you're
saying it. They look at it from the standpoint of,
oh they got NBC. Oh, you know, they make.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
It about everything other than why, like your Notre Dame
is uniquely different, and that's what they're trying to explain
to people. And this is a hard conversation now because
a lot of people don't want to talk about religion
and faith spirituality. But you know, the truth is that's
that's those deep rooted ties that it's one of the
reasons why when you go to Notre Dame, whether you're
a Catholic or not, you start to understand the history
(20:51):
of it, and you start to understand that, like, very
similar to how other people who identify with other things,
you know, feel like there's been prejudiced.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
That's how Notre Dame felt.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
And you might say, well, nowadays, it's a different day
and age, and like people would love for you to
join a conference, right, But that's again, that's not what
made Notre Dame what it is and when you when
you join a conference, you leave like that, that history behind.
And I don't think Notre Dame wants to do that
until it's absolutely the last thing that they have to do.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Yeah, the priest who married my wife and I father Shay,
I went last year. I went last year and I
and I promise you this is one a real story.
I went to him last year to do confession. And
before we're in the little room, before we spend that
(21:39):
room for that, but before before we start, before we
start confession, he goes, God, can you believe Notre Dame
against Northern Illinois?
Speaker 5 (21:47):
I mean, what was that?
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Like literally went off for like five minutes because he's
that passed.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
So he was doing a confessional because he yeah, you
were a sports talk radio.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Yeah he knows, he knows. Uh, you know, he kinda know.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
And so I know you're not supposed to, but what
were one of the things you have to ask for,
forgive us for like give us just one little hint?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
You talk about your gambling with them, Like were you honest?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
No, I haven't brought that up yet.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
I mean, you know that money could go to the church.
Probably instead, so you're wasting it on your terrible bets.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Well yeah, but they got enough. We got married there,
we had to pay fees. Come on, what do you
want from us?
Speaker 7 (22:26):
You got married during COVID bro They give you a
discount and and they should be thankful for whatever business
they got. Okay, give us one, Give us one, Jones,
don't don't dance around it.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Give us one before we get there. Did you ask
for forgive us for playing pocket pool?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Lack of Uh no, I didn't know that was a sin.
Lack of patience?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Uh yeah, wait, wait, wait, I forget I'm trying to
hold your fashion. You spent time telling a father that
you you needed, that you had a lack of I mean,
what what was the product of the lack of pace?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I really don't remember.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Was it a backhead? Was it a drop kick? I
don't do body slam drew? Like what what happened?
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I really don't remember, but I just remember.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Think So.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
You were telling the just sort of spewing stuff. He
has no idea. You got some NERVEO. I could see
you get nervous to that.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
No, there's there's nothing nervous about I mean, it's not
like I'm a convicted murderer, but I was kind of
thrown off by the fact that if you can.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
I've always wondered if you confess a murder at a confessional,
is it like do you get do they ratch out,
do they snitch on you? Does the father give you up?
I think it's like an.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Attorney like they got to kind of, you know, keep
it confidential.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
They can't say that this confession would be one hundred
percent wrong in that I heard.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Someone I'm trying.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I would have walked about it a confessional bove one
hundred times over here and some of the things I'm
sure people go into that book would imagine if you
had to go, I would have been like, hey, look,
I'm a horrible person for this too.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
But I'd be the type of person.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
I'd be a father, and I'd be like, look, man,
I just know I couldn't get a good looking girl.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
In my life, Like it just is what it is.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
And I'd be in that confessional talking about and I'd
be like, I'd be like, dang, like look at her.
And if she came in there and said the right confession,
I'd be like, Yep.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
God, I'm up pat here, Hey, little shorty, all right,
this is what you're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You're gonna come with me and we're going to do
this thing the rest of the way. Peats to the church,
Thank you, good night.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
After I heard all the things, you just you can't
say no, and I'll forgive you. It will be my
final act as a father before I get up out
of here.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, I think you've uh father, forgive her?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Very strong willed like that one that been down and.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
The red dog pop out. Yeah, I like, come man,
what you think her confess will sound like that?
Speaker 7 (25:09):
I know what it sounds like. Oh no, I'm aware,
Oh boy, I am aware.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
That thing popped out like a parachute, like like you
have to stick by the landing. That thing came out.
So for the that was a rip chord introduction for the.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
New audience wondering that's listening right now or listening on
the podcast wondering Lavarsh for it too. To make the
story sure short, we were at a funeral and somebody
who put a rose on the casket bent over and
the thong came out, and uh.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
LeVar, that's how you want to reason.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
LaVar for some reason couldn't find his keys in his
front right pocket for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
LeVar gave me a look that I'll never forget. It's
just like we were both like not sure how to react.
I mean everyone saw it. Everyone saw what I mean.
And she was down there.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
She had a whole lass conversation with the loved one,
Like I don't even know how her knees was able
to handle being down there that long.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I don't even know if it was that long.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Maybe it was just long in my head, like is
she down there for an extra extending amount of time?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Am I really staring? Like what am I doing right now?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Like there was a lot of things you had to
like come to grips with in that moment, And for myself, Amen,
that thing jumped out like what.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Like c like you I looked at.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
You, if I looked to me, there was both an
acknowledgment of what was what was there.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Could out shut my best out to laugh.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Oh, I was like, Jonah's got a lot going on
in his crew man. Jonah started giving me the breakdown
group of people. I'm sitting there and I'm looking at
everybody that He's like giving me the breakdown to on
the family and then as he's giving it to me,
I see this family walking by, and there's like everybody
is over six foot five, Like the dad is.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
The only one that ain't tall.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
The mom is like six foot two, the kids is
like six six six seven. And then they pull off
in a car that made them look normal. They had
room in the back seat and the front seat, and
a ton of room in the trunk, now you tell me,
(27:38):
and that probably had a big block and under the
under the hood. I just was I was my visually.
I was totally blown away by that one gathering. Right,
I missed out in life, That's all I'm gonna say.
I am with the part of the Knox family.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
I missed out on man, it's a lot of stories,
a lot of stuff that just doesn't make sense. By

Speaker 7 (30:47):
And congratulations to the Indianapolis Colts. They've got a brand
new quarterback in their roster. What's his name, Sims? Philip Rivers. Oh, granddaddy.
Granddaddy is back at forty four years old. He is
signed to the Colts practice squad. He could be an
option if Riley Leonard can't go because of the knee
injury he suffered. Daniel Jones has been placed on season
(31:11):
ending ir that's a rap on his season. And here
we go with Philip Rivers potentially taking over as quarterback
one in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
So interesting.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Note he's on the practice squad now, which means he's
still eligible to be voted in. He's a semi files
for the Hall of Fame. He's still eligible as of
now to be voted now. If he gets moved to
the active roster, clock resets, so you have to wait
another five years.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
So interesting kind of note to that.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
So obviously he has a desire to want to do this,
to help out to go play. He's been coaching with
high school football, probably slinging it around.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
You know, it feels good. They said he looked good
in the workout.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
I think I wonder too, if he's seeing not only
how much money some guys are making now, but just
the protection quarterbacks are getting. And he's thinking I can
go in and do this. I can still go in
and do this.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
I'm out of loss for words on this one, is
all I'm gonna say that forty four, Like, I'm literally
three to four years older.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Than him, and I know how I feel. I feel old.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
He's got to feel old. He's played. He played a
lot longer than I did. I just I don't understand it. Like, listen,
a lot of people had a problem when George Foreman
came back. You're old, You're over to hill. That'll never
work out for you. When you get punched, you'll realize
you're too old for this and you'll go back into retirement.
(32:45):
That I mean, there is the opportunity for this to
be a pretty interesting tale of never giving up. And
if you have a dream of being able to overcome
something like I want to be a forty four year
old that does this, coming back out of retirement from
X amount of years inactive. I guess that makes sense,
(33:06):
but I just don't want to see the alternative.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
That's all Like if it all it's all fun.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
And good, you know, George Foreman was able to get
through the fights and get to a championship fight and
win the title again at an old ass a. He
used to take so many punches, thuff me, bro, he
took a lot of punches. I remember him at the
end of his career when you're talking about this, and
I'm Jonas you did too, But I just remember thinking,
he took so many times. Man, Yeah they couldn't, but
(33:35):
he he caught Mike Mercer or whatever. Michael Mercer, I
believe that. Michael Moore, Michael Moore and he's from WESBA.
It's just for me. I don't want to see somebody
get a hold of Philip Rivers and he just poof
and like just you know.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Literally just evaporate away after he gets hit. Like I
just don't want to see that.
Speaker 7 (33:57):
You would know this obviously better than I would, But
just from watching him, he always seemed like a pretty
quick release, like he was getting.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
That really quick release.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
He knows how to diagnose everything. And look, they've got
Jonathan Taylor to Lena, so you know, for me, like
I think it's a decent setup. They have a really
good offensive line playing indoors right, and he was already there,
so he knows the system to a degree, knows the team,
maybe even some of the personnel.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
So there are some advantages to why he's the guy.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
I just you know, I don't know by the way
he's already because I'll say it right now. If he's average,
they don't even have to make the playoffs. If he's average,
he's comeback player of the year. I don't want to
hear anybody throw any other name out there. And as
I go and check who the comeback player of the
year odds are right now, Christian McCaffrey on DraftKings is
(34:46):
your favorite at minus one forty.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yeah, he's carried them.
Speaker 7 (34:49):
Second is Dak Prescott at plus one twenty five, also
carried his team, and third Philip Rivers.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
At eighteen to one.
Speaker 7 (34:57):
If he's just average, that guy should win back Player
of the Year in the NFL this year based on
what he's doing five years, and he.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Will base his comeback off of or basic on him
reproducing again.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Like hold on, I was going to ask you if
I can go to the well.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
You always bring this up though you think he was
at home for the five years, just miserable and just
waiting for that.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
Next say it was miserable, But I'm gonna say, if
you're willing to come back and play after you've been
out as long as he has, as old as he is,
he's looking at the alternative like, Man, I'm coaching, I'm home,
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
It's like I'm here, I am mob Hey that me?
Where are you at? Like what? Like bru his house.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
Is like a shopping mall, like like seriously, Like I
just I know I get over stimulated, and I'm not
anywhere near the amount of kids him or Sean Alexander have.
I'm nowhere near that, And I know I get overwhelmed,
and I'd be like, all right, are we doing the
super Bowl? Like I don't want to go to the
(36:02):
super Bowl, But the only reason why I want to
go to two reasons.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
See, you guys, all of us get together and be
able to be.
Speaker 6 (36:08):
In the same place, but I want to get the
hell away from like all of that. From time to time,
I gotta get like I'll be sitting up in there
and you actually stop and listen and look at everything
that's going on around you, and You're like, how the
hell did I choose this for myself? Like why is
(36:28):
this where? I Like, then you start going into this
weird little deal like I used to be somebody in
my life like I used to things used to matter,
It used to be quiet like and then you start
to look around and then the noise gets louder again,
and then you come back to yourself and it's like, Dad, Dad,
I've been talking to you for five minutes.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Are you okay? Like, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
So if I'm Philip Rivers, I can only imagine that
is multiplied so many times over. And he's like, I
would love to go into a locker room. I would
love to go into a meeting room and have peace
and quiet, look at some film, throw the ball around and.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Get away from that.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
Because when you got all that, it's a whole lot
of shorties. And I'll tell you what, when you shorty
jump in your ear, just go grab some hot sauce.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
That don't make everything better, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
If your mouth is full of food, you can't say
the wrong thing and get in trouble. I found that
out myself, So listen, if you if you're going to
do that, throw some Louisiana hot sauce on. It's only
three simple ingredients and it'll make your plate better of
the turn every day into a tailgate because it's just
got that type of flavor to it, if you know
what I mean. So listen, make sure you get you
(37:41):
some original Louisiana Hot sauce, add a little bit to
your day and make every day a game day. That's
a Louisiana Hot Sauce by you.

Speaker 8 (39:32):
The National Football Foundation event last night. Gett to spend
time with LeVar, Get to see a lot of guys
like Mike Vick get into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Long time coming uh Center I played with in Cleveland
for a year. Alex Mack really good guy, good dude,
and obviously my co host uh and one of my
good friends Herban Meyer getting in.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
It was interesting seeing him sit alongside Nick Saban.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
Like, that's, i mean, two of the all time greats.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Pretty crazy.
Speaker 8 (40:00):
He was pretty cool in the amount of national championships
between the two of them, and the fact that they
did it at multiple places. Urban's done it at different conferences,
different eras, Like you start really thinking about it, it's
pretty remarkable.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
So that was the good. All right, out lock it.
Speaker 10 (40:15):
I like it.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
Well, nixt we got the bad and sheriff knocks you're
up for the bad. I'm gonna go with the Cincinnati
Bengals who cannot catch a break. The Cincinnati Bengals in
a game in which Joe Burrow's dealing in the snow,
all of a sudden throws back to back picks. T
Higgins comes back from a concussion, gets dinged up again,
gets evaluated for a concussion multiple times during the game.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
They say no, we're.
Speaker 7 (40:39):
Good to go, and then afterwards it's like, yeah, I
don't feel so well now he's in concussion protocol yet again.
And then you've also got Trey Hendrickson, who apparently is
his time in Cincinnati is pretty much wrapping up, as
he has also done for the year. This was thought
to be a different season. They started out two and zero.
It felt like a strong start. Things are going to
be off and run. And here they are going to
miss the play else for a third straight year in Cincinnati.
(41:03):
Oh right, Well, last week got the ugly and sheriff,
are you're up for the ugly?
Speaker 2 (41:09):
What you get?
Speaker 6 (41:09):
Well, let me tell you here something abouty sweet. The
ugly is very clear. It's very, very very real. Six
and seven. That's your record. And you had Patrick Mahomes
as your quarterback. That is ugly. You all third in
your division. That is ugly. You got the Chargers and
(41:34):
the Broncos the top of you, and you're gonna miss
the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
That is ugly.
Speaker 6 (41:40):
Ah And then the ugliest is well, it's over, Johnny
Damn is over for the Chiefs, the Chiefs Kingdom. It's
coming to an end. It's a wrap. This was the mark.
This was the moment. You can honestly say, six and seven,
it ain't get better.
Speaker 7 (42:00):
Well, I know it is going to get better your
home if you're doing improvements at the home, because you
can get tools that perform at the highest level and
every job without compromise. When you shot Makita at the
home depot and the job calls are the best calling.
Makita built to be the best available at the home Depot,
out pros get more done

Speaker 7 (02:07):
As mentioned by Steve de Sager and our award winning
update that we just heard a short time ago, it
was big numbers. Speaking of entertainment and college football. While
you guys are in Vegas celebrating the College Football Hall
of Famers, the biggest ratings wise conference game of the
weekend conference championship game in college football goes to the
(02:31):
Big Ten Title game, Eighteen point three million viewers watched
Saturday's Big Ten championship game between Ohio State and Indiana,
the most watched Big Ten championship game on record, also
the most watched championship game of the weekend. So congratulations
to Bradon t quinn. A lot of people saw you,
(02:54):
A lot of people saw your work. I just wanted
to point that out.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
Well, Ok, there, I it was there. I do I
do find it. Is anyone else going to question the
fact that, like with the new Nielsen rating system, that
the numbers.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It's a new record, it's a new record.
Speaker 8 (03:12):
It's like at some point, I mean, it just has
to stop. Like everything's gonna keep growing forever.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Is it. I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
No, but you know they'll find some way to manipulate it.
Speaker 8 (03:23):
But also, hey, by the way, King of Kings of
college football, it's in the Big Ten.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
And by the way, it's not even close to the
Thanksgiving numbers that the NFL were doing. I'm curious as
to will there come a time where college is where
where it catches up.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I wonder, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
I just the markets are so much bigger, you know,
I mean, the fan like think about some of that,
and and really, you know, I think it's so I
think to your point, though, there could be a world
where it happens.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You know, someone said this to me for the game.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
We had to go out to a uh a big
ten event and the woman like tab She said, you know,
Indiana has the largest living which obviously if you're an alumni.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
And you you know, no one's no one's.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Due's paying alumnis if they're dead, but they're like the
largest living alumni association.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I was like, really, okay, So I said.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
To her, go, how can that be, Like Penn State's
a bigger school, High State's a bigger school. Google it.
We did, and she was right. She right, But my
thing is eight hundred thousand or something.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Well, then they might have us, because I think we're
like high seven hundred.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
But it doesn't make any conceptual sense, Like if you
have a bigger school, you have more people graduating every year,
you would theoretically have a bigger alumni base or association.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
So maybe it's just people aren't paying the what that's
what I guess.
Speaker 8 (04:56):
My point is every single year you're turning out alumni,
whether it's Texas or Ohio State, somebody's huge schools that
you would think would be like born into being fans
that school, and so the NFL doesn't university that's crazy, right,
But the NFL doesn't have that recently surpassing us for
(05:17):
the top spot. The NFL has to work to be
able to get those like fans, you know, fans born
into it.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Every single year you've got new applicants.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
Going to schools that that's why they go there in
part they want to be a football fan.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
So I do think there's a world where college football is.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
Still growing and will continue to keep growing, whereas the NFL,
I don't know if the growth will be quite as.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Big, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
I think the landscape of college football is so underdeveloped
because you can only do so much business before you
have to have the conversation of employee versus student. And
the NFL has been able to market, brand, use their athletes,
(06:08):
use everything that they have to be able to create
these shows that build the popularity of wanting to watch.
I feel like there's a golden opportunity here with the
way things are shaping up, with the new rules and
how things are done at the college level, where if
there is an active interest taken into making the conferences
(06:32):
bigger and making what that represents, because to me, I
just I look at it, like, okay, is a game
between who was it? Dallas and who who was it?
They played a Green Bay on a city right ganst City.
It's a game between Dallas and Kansas City. Just a
regular game on a holiday, just a regular game. You're
(06:56):
telling me that there shouldn't be the potential. If I'm
a decision maker for the Big Ten Conference, I'm looking
at it and I'm saying, okay, like, how do we
make a singular game, like say a Big Ten championship game?
If I'm the SEC, why do I not sit there
and say, you know what, how do we not make
(07:18):
our SEC championship game bigger than one game? That's just
the game in the National Football League. There's no implications
or anything really connected to the game. And you got
forty million people watching it? Was it forty to fifty million?
Speaker 8 (07:35):
It's more than that fifty eight fifty eight that's flipping wild,
that's gret that's that's I mean fifteen million to fifty
eight million.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
How many times over? Is that? Like what? Four? Three
or four times more it's a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
It's lots crazy, man, it's a lot of people talking
to their family.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Fifteen or fifteen, that's thirty. So it's like, yeah, it's
like right at almost four times. It's a three high
three times over, but right there at four, I mean,
I would think that that is a market share that
you can tap into. And it's not. You're taking it
away from the National Football League. Those numbers are still
(08:18):
going to be those numbers. But can you take a
championship game and take it up into those those outer
layers of numbers, because then now that generates more money
for the conference. If it's generating more money for the conference,
then obviously the TV deal is going to generate more
money for all the teams in the conference.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Better players, better product.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
Let me ask this question, though, was it because it
was a conference championship, Because we talked earlier about those
almost becoming a bit irrelevant at least in the grand
scheme of things, right, and not to get back into
the debate of the playoff. It could tie in though,
but there is no downside risk for Bamada Luz Right,
you roll the ball out. Georgia kicked the crap out
(09:02):
of them still in the playoff. And but on the
flip side, you know, if you're BYU or you know,
I guess if you're Duke, you win it, you don't
go and play. So we're kind of questioning how worthy
are they have really like remaining. So to me, the
rating probably had more to do with the Ohio s
Day brand, the story of Indiana. But the fact that
(09:23):
they're one two, Yeah, that is that fair to say? Yeah,
because you have two undefeated teams only two left. First
time we've seen that in seventeen years in college football,
and that's that's what Like, I wonder does that rating
happen if it's just one verse two anyway?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
I mean, you know, you know.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
What I'm saying, like that, if that if that game
happened in week eleven and they're both undefeated in the
college football season, one verse two, do you do you
get that rating regards?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I think you do well.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
I mean, what was it going against as well?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Too? And that's the well there was one that it's
the a SEC championship game.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yeah was what did they get?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
What's overtime? It wasn't very It was a fun game
to watch.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
I wonder what it was competing with another game, and
that game with Dallas and Kansas City was not. That
was like a late game, right, that was like standalone games. Yeah,
I just which is interesting because if I'm the a
CEC and I'm the Big ten, shouldn't you at least
at some moment had the conversation of or at the
(10:28):
TV channels, the stations and network like, let's not run
the games at the same time.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
Okay, well that would What would need to happen for
that to happen is if you follow some of the
news about the score Act and everything, that's where you're
going to be able to get everything that kind of.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Start to come together.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
So all these schools would then come together to then
raise the cost of the actual media, rightes.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, I mean that that's a discussion.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
But because it would, it would lead to problems lee
higher rated gain VI ratings, bigger matchups, and you get
bigger dollars, big bigger AD dollars, That's what I'm saying. Like,
so even if even if I'm the SEC and I
don't bang with you know, the Big ten like that,
even if I'm ESPN and I don't bang with Fox
(11:17):
like that we still got to come together and talk
and say listen, if you guys ball out and do
what y'all need to do on this side, it makes
college football, the sport, the product of it much better
for everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And and and that goes for you as well.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
There's there's an equal trade off here on us being
able to leverage and create and grow this number. It
just almost seems like don't they do that with the
National Football League? Like they they they have those conversations
like Fox.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Is going to get this game.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
You know, the ESPN is going to see, CBS is
going to get this game. Now Prime is in play,
and you know like YouTube is in YouTube, TV is
in play. Why can't you start to have those conversations
for the college the college level of it, Because to me,
I like, like, for instance, like talking to coach Campbell
(12:06):
right and it's like, oh, you were teammates with Nick Siriani.
You guys are sare you guys are sharing the same
fan base. But when you think about it, he only
gets the eastern side of the state. You get the
entire state. So you in theory, Pit State Pitt fans have.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Something to say about that.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Yeah, in theory you get both sides of the state
in terms in terms of support of your team.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
You know, that's that's what I mean. If you're going
to see the look, Jonah.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
How do you not leverage that properly to be able
to maximize how large some of these fan bases are?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You know?
Speaker 8 (12:56):
It is interesting though, right, Jona's like, if you think
about it, I mean, how how are Dallas Cowboys fans
born into their fandom?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Right? Their dad, their mom someone, yes, but what do
you just move to Dallas? You're like, hey, I'm.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
Gonna be a Cowboys fan because everyone else is written
for Dallas.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
It's also and Jerry Jones was real smart about this,
and you know they might have actually been doing this
before he took over the team. But I remember they
used to come out and have training camp out here
in Thousand Oaks, even before.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
They were at Oxnard, and so they I think he's.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Where in California a Thousand Oaks and then Knox Snard
as well too as well at now, but they would
have training camp out here, and You're like, why would
you travel all the way out here if you're based
in Texas. And then now you look at it and
you go man, the Cowboys fan base in southern California
is strong, like their fan base everywhere because I think
Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
There's a lot of groupies on front Runners in California.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Though, And and also there was no team.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Fans like it's all the like normal teams that anybody
would be like fans, and.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
There was there was no team out here for twenty
plus years, and so people just sort of grabbed onto
the Cowboys. It's why the Niners fan base takes over,
it's why the But in college and you mentioned Ohio State,
in the Ohio State brand, there's like random Ohio State
bars out here where when Ohio State's playing.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
It's not random though, That's the thing about it. And
you got to take into consider in.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
The middle of Woodland Hills there's just not a Ryo
State bar.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Yes, yes, because the majors, like Ohio State, they have
as you heard c mentioned earlier about Indiana, you have
these strongholds of fan base, alumni bases, chapters in these
different places, and they're going to have places to go,
(14:50):
like whether they open the bar, whether they take over
the bar, and they come in and put their flags
up and do their parties and have their chapter party,
their watch parties. That's all over the country. In fact,
it's all over the world.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Actually it's also why you know when Notre Dame's talking about,
you know, why would the ACC single us out?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Why? And people can get annoyed with that all they want.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
But you're hurting. You're hurting hundred percent because do anything.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
To devalue your biggest partner and partner and your money
earning partner, you're only hurting the value of what you
have going on with your bottom line.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Because I'll be honest with you, majority of people in
the country don't give a rip about ninety percent of
the ACC.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
They don't care.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
I wouldn't be able to tell you ninety percent. I
would be able to tell you one hundred percent of
the teams in the ACE, So.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Like if that if that team is It's like when
you know, you play a small school, like when a
Michigan plays nap State or somebody plays a you know,
a Toledo Tech, and it's like, well, why would they
take that They're going to get blown out? Well, I
mean eyeballs, money, revenue, like everything that comes along with it.
We'll take an ass beating if we're going to get
half a million dollars. It's going to help our program.
(16:00):
Why like, why would you not welcome in with open arms,
a big brand in any conference, Like, yes, please let
us be a part of this, so real quick.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Just because the whole I mean, we're venturing down the
road that like we've tiptoed around it and I haven't
spoken about this, but step in it. No, there's here's
there's there's a history of reason behind why Notre Dame
once it's independence, and I want people to understand there
was a deep tie with Notre Dame to the Catholic Church.
I think that's pretty apparent. But just so people understand,
because this has happened a long time ago. So back
(16:33):
in like the early nineteen hundreds, the Big Ten was
called the Western Conference at that time, and at that time,
you know, the Western Conference refused to schedule Notre Dame.
And they refuse to do it not because of the athletics,
because they were Catholic. There was an anti Catholic prejudice.
So not a lot of people understand this, but that's
(16:55):
really like under new Rockney, Notre Dame you know, had
to kind of barnstorm across the country to play other teams.
So that's how their national following came about. And it
was in large part this movement against, this anti Catholic
movement against Notre Dame was really Michigan.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
They were kind of pushing it back then.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
So I know, we're, you know now in twenty twenty
five and we're like, oh, it's one hundred some years later.
There is still this deep rooted sense of this is
who we are and it's not just about football for
Notre Dame. And I can say this as someone who
when I looked at Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Tennessee,
there's like my final four schools at that time when
(17:38):
I was coming out of high school.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
My choice was like, they're all great choices.
Speaker 8 (17:44):
I couldn't have gone wrong with the football and the academics.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
It was a spiritual thing for me.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
And not to sound like corny and all that, but like,
I just felt like there was a spiritual pulling for
me to go.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Develop as young man at Notre Dame.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
And that thing is real for a lot of people
who go there, and people who are in particular Catholic
too that have a passion for it. There's it's just
a different feel. And if you've been there, you've gone
to it, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
I love Catholic. Well I'm not Catholic, but I love it.
Y'all don't like staying in there long. Y'all get up
in there, and y'all get up out of there.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
First, hold on.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
Ask Jonas that yeah, just Jonas's family might say the
exact dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
And there's some long Catholic masses out there too, are Try.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
The Spanish Mass. Yeah, that's a whole story.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Never been in a mass that lasted longer than thirty
forty minutes ever. Oh, and I'll be all in and
get up in there, hit your knees, say a couple
of things. Do your hell marriage. I don't want to
distract us too much. But I also just said, you know,
I had to go to church all the time. Preacher's kid.
You get into them revivals and all them things that's going.
(18:52):
You're in church from sun up to sundown into the
next sun back up, you know, and then then you
get I understand.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
But general point is, so when people talk about Notre
Dame joining a conference, like, oh, they need to join
a conference, you know, honestly, Like black folks love being
in church, man, well, depending which church you love being
in church? Depends on which church.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Well sometimes, but in each one of them, you're throwing money,
you know what I mean, You're making a rain in
both places, whether whether they're the preacher in the pool pit, Like.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Isn't it kind of wild that you have a pool pit?
Don't get you do it? You do it again just
to put a cap.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
On that you're elevated in front of the audience watching you,
and then you want them to give you money. Like
there's some simularities between the two professions if people were
following me.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
But anyway, though, the point is everyone's trying to get
Notre Dame to join a conference. The reality is they
never did because they had to become independent in order
to survive and then have their football team.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So it's building that mission.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
It's been built on that identity forever and that's what's
helping to create a national presence.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
And y'all have been successful doing it. Like keep that
in mind. It's not as though you guys are doing it.
It's like God, it's a dying deal. Like you guys
need to get in on, like y'all were just in
the National Title game, and so it's not as though
you guys are losing have lost momentum of being this
this juggernut you know program. I mean, a lot of
(20:21):
people that don't look at it from the way you're
saying it. They look at it from the standpoint of,
oh they got NBC. Oh, you know, they make.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
It about everything other than why, like your Notre Dame
is uniquely different, and that's what they're trying to explain
to people. And this is a hard conversation now because
a lot of people don't want to talk about religion
and faith spirituality. But you know, the truth is that's
that's those deep rooted ties that it's one of the
reasons why when you go to Notre Dame, whether you're
a Catholic or not, you start to understand the history
(20:51):
of it, and you start to understand that, like, very
similar to how other people who identify with other things,
you know, feel like there's been prejudiced.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
That's how Notre Dame felt.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
And you might say, well, nowadays, it's a different day
and age, and like people would love for you to
join a conference, right, But that's again, that's not what
made Notre Dame what it is and when you when
you join a conference, you leave like that, that history behind.
And I don't think Notre Dame wants to do that
until it's absolutely the last thing that they have to do.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Yeah, the priest who married my wife and I father Shay,
I went last year. I went last year and I
and I promise you this is one a real story.
I went to him last year to do confession. And
before we're in the little room, before we spend that
(21:39):
room for that, but before before we start, before we
start confession, he goes, God, can you believe Notre Dame
against Northern Illinois?
Speaker 5 (21:47):
I mean, what was that?
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Like literally went off for like five minutes because he's
that passed.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
So he was doing a confessional because he yeah, you
were a sports talk radio.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Yeah he knows, he knows. Uh, you know, he kinda know.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
And so I know you're not supposed to, but what
were one of the things you have to ask for,
forgive us for like give us just one little hint?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
You talk about your gambling with them, Like were you honest?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
No, I haven't brought that up yet.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
I mean, you know that money could go to the church.
Probably instead, so you're wasting it on your terrible bets.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Well yeah, but they got enough. We got married there,
we had to pay fees. Come on, what do you
want from us?
Speaker 7 (22:26):
You got married during COVID bro They give you a
discount and and they should be thankful for whatever business
they got. Okay, give us one, Give us one, Jones,
don't don't dance around it.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Give us one before we get there. Did you ask
for forgive us for playing pocket pool?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Lack of Uh no, I didn't know that was a sin.
Lack of patience?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Uh yeah, wait, wait, wait, I forget I'm trying to
hold your fashion. You spent time telling a father that
you you needed, that you had a lack of I mean,
what what was the product of the lack of pace?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I really don't remember.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Was it a backhead? Was it a drop kick? I
don't do body slam drew? Like what what happened?
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I really don't remember, but I just remember.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Think So.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
You were telling the just sort of spewing stuff. He
has no idea. You got some NERVEO. I could see
you get nervous to that.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
No, there's there's nothing nervous about I mean, it's not
like I'm a convicted murderer, but I was kind of
thrown off by the fact that if you can.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
I've always wondered if you confess a murder at a confessional,
is it like do you get do they ratch out,
do they snitch on you? Does the father give you up?
I think it's like an.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Attorney like they got to kind of, you know, keep
it confidential.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
They can't say that this confession would be one hundred
percent wrong in that I heard.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Someone I'm trying.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I would have walked about it a confessional bove one
hundred times over here and some of the things I'm
sure people go into that book would imagine if you
had to go, I would have been like, hey, look,
I'm a horrible person for this too.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
But I'd be the type of person.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
I'd be a father, and I'd be like, look, man,
I just know I couldn't get a good looking girl.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
In my life, Like it just is what it is.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
And I'd be in that confessional talking about and I'd
be like, I'd be like, dang, like look at her.
And if she came in there and said the right confession,
I'd be like, Yep.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
God, I'm up pat here, Hey, little shorty, all right,
this is what you're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You're gonna come with me and we're going to do
this thing the rest of the way. Peats to the church,
Thank you, good night.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
After I heard all the things, you just you can't
say no, and I'll forgive you. It will be my
final act as a father before I get up out
of here.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, I think you've uh father, forgive her?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Very strong willed like that one that been down and.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
The red dog pop out. Yeah, I like, come man,
what you think her confess will sound like that?
Speaker 7 (25:09):
I know what it sounds like. Oh no, I'm aware,
Oh boy, I am aware.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
That thing popped out like a parachute, like like you
have to stick by the landing. That thing came out.
So for the that was a rip chord introduction for the.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
New audience wondering that's listening right now or listening on
the podcast wondering Lavarsh for it too. To make the
story sure short, we were at a funeral and somebody
who put a rose on the casket bent over and
the thong came out, and uh.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
LeVar, that's how you want to reason.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
LaVar for some reason couldn't find his keys in his
front right pocket for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
LeVar gave me a look that I'll never forget. It's
just like we were both like not sure how to react.
I mean everyone saw it. Everyone saw what I mean.
And she was down there.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
She had a whole lass conversation with the loved one,
Like I don't even know how her knees was able
to handle being down there that long.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I don't even know if it was that long.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Maybe it was just long in my head, like is
she down there for an extra extending amount of time?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Am I really staring? Like what am I doing right now?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Like there was a lot of things you had to
like come to grips with in that moment, And for myself, Amen,
that thing jumped out like what.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Like c like you I looked at.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
You, if I looked to me, there was both an
acknowledgment of what was what was there.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Could out shut my best out to laugh.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Oh, I was like, Jonah's got a lot going on
in his crew man. Jonah started giving me the breakdown
group of people. I'm sitting there and I'm looking at
everybody that He's like giving me the breakdown to on
the family and then as he's giving it to me,
I see this family walking by, and there's like everybody
is over six foot five, Like the dad is.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
The only one that ain't tall.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
The mom is like six foot two, the kids is
like six six six seven. And then they pull off
in a car that made them look normal. They had
room in the back seat and the front seat, and
a ton of room in the trunk, now you tell me,
(27:38):
and that probably had a big block and under the

Speaker 7 (30:47):
And congratulations to the Indianapolis Colts. They've got a brand
new quarterback in their roster. What's his name, Sims? Philip Rivers. Oh, granddaddy.
Granddaddy is back at forty four years old. He is
signed to the Colts practice squad. He could be an
option if Riley Leonard can't go because of the knee
injury he suffered. Daniel Jones has been placed on season
(31:11):
ending ir that's a rap on his season. And here
we go with Philip Rivers potentially taking over as quarterback
one in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
So interesting.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Note he's on the practice squad now, which means he's
still eligible to be voted in. He's a semi files
for the Hall of Fame. He's still eligible as of
now to be voted now. If he gets moved to
the active roster, clock resets, so you have to wait
another five years.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
So interesting kind of note to that.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
So obviously he has a desire to want to do this,
to help out to go play. He's been coaching with
high school football, probably slinging it around.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
You know, it feels good. They said he looked good
in the workout.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
I think I wonder too, if he's seeing not only
how much money some guys are making now, but just
the protection quarterbacks are getting. And he's thinking I can
go in and do this. I can still go in
and do this.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
I'm out of loss for words on this one, is
all I'm gonna say that forty four, Like, I'm literally
three to four years older.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Than him, and I know how I feel. I feel old.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
He's got to feel old. He's played. He played a
lot longer than I did. I just I don't understand it. Like, listen,
a lot of people had a problem when George Foreman
came back. You're old, You're over to hill. That'll never
work out for you. When you get punched, you'll realize
you're too old for this and you'll go back into retirement.
(32:45):
That I mean, there is the opportunity for this to
be a pretty interesting tale of never giving up. And
if you have a dream of being able to overcome
something like I want to be a forty four year
old that does this, coming back out of retirement from
X amount of years inactive. I guess that makes sense,
(33:06):
but I just don't want to see the alternative.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
That's all Like if it all it's all fun.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
And good, you know, George Foreman was able to get
through the fights and get to a championship fight and
win the title again at an old ass a. He
used to take so many punches, thuff me, bro, he
took a lot of punches. I remember him at the
end of his career when you're talking about this, and
I'm Jonas you did too, But I just remember thinking,
he took so many times. Man, Yeah they couldn't, but
(33:35):
he he caught Mike Mercer or whatever. Michael Mercer, I
believe that. Michael Moore, Michael Moore and he's from WESBA.
It's just for me. I don't want to see somebody
get a hold of Philip Rivers and he just poof
and like just you know.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Literally just evaporate away after he gets hit. Like I
just don't want to see that.
Speaker 7 (33:57):
You would know this obviously better than I would, But
just from watching him, he always seemed like a pretty
quick release, like he was getting.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
That really quick release.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
He knows how to diagnose everything. And look, they've got
Jonathan Taylor to Lena, so you know, for me, like
I think it's a decent setup. They have a really
good offensive line playing indoors right, and he was already there,
so he knows the system to a degree, knows the team,
maybe even some of the personnel.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
So there are some advantages to why he's the guy.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
I just you know, I don't know by the way
he's already because I'll say it right now. If he's average,
they don't even have to make the playoffs. If he's average,
he's comeback player of the year. I don't want to
hear anybody throw any other name out there. And as
I go and check who the comeback player of the
year odds are right now, Christian McCaffrey on DraftKings is
(34:46):
your favorite at minus one forty.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yeah, he's carried them.
Speaker 7 (34:49):
Second is Dak Prescott at plus one twenty five, also
carried his team, and third Philip Rivers.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
At eighteen to one.
Speaker 7 (34:57):
If he's just average, that guy should win back Player
of the Year in the NFL this year based on
what he's doing five years, and he.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Will base his comeback off of or basic on him
reproducing again.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Like hold on, I was going to ask you if
I can go to the well.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
You always bring this up though you think he was
at home for the five years, just miserable and just
waiting for that.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
Next say it was miserable, But I'm gonna say, if
you're willing to come back and play after you've been
out as long as he has, as old as he is,
he's looking at the alternative like, Man, I'm coaching, I'm home,
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
It's like I'm here, I am mob Hey that me?
Where are you at? Like what? Like bru his house.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
Is like a shopping mall, like like seriously, Like I
just I know I get over stimulated, and I'm not
anywhere near the amount of kids him or Sean Alexander have.
I'm nowhere near that, And I know I get overwhelmed,
and I'd be like, all right, are we doing the
super Bowl? Like I don't want to go to the
(36:02):
super Bowl, But the only reason why I want to
go to two reasons.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
See, you guys, all of us get together and be
able to be.
Speaker 6 (36:08):
In the same place, but I want to get the
hell away from like all of that. From time to time,
I gotta get like I'll be sitting up in there
and you actually stop and listen and look at everything
that's going on around you, and You're like, how the
hell did I choose this for myself? Like why is
(36:28):
this where? I Like, then you start going into this
weird little deal like I used to be somebody in
my life like I used to things used to matter,
It used to be quiet like and then you start
to look around and then the noise gets louder again,
and then you come back to yourself and it's like, Dad, Dad,
I've been talking to you for five minutes.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Are you okay? Like, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
So if I'm Philip Rivers, I can only imagine that
is multiplied so many times over. And he's like, I
would love to go into a locker room. I would
love to go into a meeting room and have peace
and quiet, look at some film, throw the ball around and.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Get away from that.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
Because when you got all that, it's a whole lot
of shorties. And I'll tell you what, when you shorty
jump in your ear, just go grab some hot sauce.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
That don't make everything better, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
If your mouth is full of food, you can't say
the wrong thing and get in trouble. I found that
out myself, So listen, if you if you're going to
do that, throw some Louisiana hot sauce on. It's only
three simple ingredients and it'll make your plate better of
the turn every day into a tailgate because it's just
got that type of flavor to it, if you know
what I mean. So listen, make sure you get you
(37:41):
some original Louisiana Hot sauce, add a little bit to
your day and make every day a game day. That's
a Louisiana Hot Sauce by you.

The National Football Foundation event last night. Gett to spend
time with LeVar, Get to see a lot of guys
like Mike Vick get into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Long time coming uh Center I played with in Cleveland
for a year. Alex Mack really good guy, good dude,
and obviously my co host uh and one of my
good friends Herban Meyer getting in.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
It was interesting seeing him sit alongside Nick Saban.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
Like, that's, i mean, two of the all time greats.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Pretty crazy.
Speaker 8 (40:00):
He was pretty cool in the amount of national championships
between the two of them, and the fact that they
did it at multiple places. Urban's done it at different conferences,
different eras, Like you start really thinking about it, it's
pretty remarkable.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
So that was the good. All right, out lock it.
Speaker 10 (40:15):
I like it.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
Well, nixt we got the bad and sheriff knocks you're
up for the bad. I'm gonna go with the Cincinnati
Bengals who cannot catch a break. The Cincinnati Bengals in
a game in which Joe Burrow's dealing in the snow,
all of a sudden throws back to back picks. T
Higgins comes back from a concussion, gets dinged up again,
gets evaluated for a concussion multiple times during the game.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
They say no, we're.
Speaker 7 (40:39):
Good to go, and then afterwards it's like, yeah, I
don't feel so well now he's in concussion protocol yet again.
And then you've also got Trey Hendrickson, who apparently is
his time in Cincinnati is pretty much wrapping up, as
he has also done for the year. This was thought
to be a different season. They started out two and zero.
It felt like a strong start. Things are going to
be off and run. And here they are going to
miss the play else for a third straight year in Cincinnati.
(41:03):
Oh right, Well, last week got the ugly and sheriff,
are you're up for the ugly?
Speaker 2 (41:09):
What you get?
Speaker 6 (41:09):
Well, let me tell you here something abouty sweet. The
ugly is very clear. It's very, very very real. Six
and seven. That's your record. And you had Patrick Mahomes
as your quarterback. That is ugly. You all third in
your division. That is ugly. You got the Chargers and
(41:34):
the Broncos the top of you, and you're gonna miss
the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
That is ugly.
Speaker 6 (41:40):
Ah And then the ugliest is well, it's over, Johnny
Damn is over for the Chiefs, the Chiefs Kingdom. It's
coming to an end. It's a wrap. This was the mark.
This was the moment. You can honestly say, six and seven,
it ain't get better.
Speaker 7 (42:00):
Well, I know it is going to get better your
home if you're doing improvements at the home, because you
can get tools that perform at the highest level and
every job without compromise. When you shot Makita at the
home depot and the job calls are the best calling.
Makita built to be the best available at the home Depot,
out pros get more done
