Speaker 2 (00:30):
Now let's get this party started.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Welcome to Big New Kickoff. I'm Rob Stone. Here y'all go.
Here's the problem with y'all. What's the problem with y'all?
Let me give you the problem with y'all. With Chuss.
What's the problem with Chuss?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Now, you have no reaction to your song in hour one.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Why would I? Exactly.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Can I say something in Genesis defense? He had to
get through so much crap at the beginning of the show.
It was like, all right, it's hard to get anything
about his song.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Your excuse for him is as weak as the excuse
for Western Michigan and Michigan.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't go that far. You're out of line.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
That should be your worst take, Brady Quinn.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
That should be your worst take ever, Brady. You're going
to die on that hill, Brady Quinn. Don't throw me
that category. That is ridiculous. You're going to die on
that hill, Brady Quinn. You crossed the line, Lamar. You
crossed the line. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Do you ever compare me to those?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It's ridiculous. Don't you? Don't you dare? Oh, my gosh.
Give Jonas another play. How about that? I was just.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Thinking, by the way, why have we not gotten a
deodorant sponsor to help with Jonas's B.O. in the morning?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
So it's a very good question. I breathe out of
my mouth, you know, and it's very difficult. It's a
challenge to breathe out.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Of your mouth.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
We had Mando for a while.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
We did. Yeah, we did. For a while. Come back!
Come on, come on back! Hold on a second.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
How did we go from I just got a compliment
for the music and then my body odor?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I had a company tell me my neck was too thick. Damn!
I mean, hey. Some of these advertisers, boy. All right,
we're good here. Listen, they really go at your neck.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Thick neck.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
She said, yeah, I can see it all in your
neck and in your face. Like, you're not doing our program.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
That's amazing. Hey, kudos to them, though. They're staying true
to the program. Were you being as disciplined as you.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Should have been? My face carries the weight. Hold on.
Hold on. Yes or no. Were you being as disciplined
as you should have been?
Speaker 5 (02:42):
To the nine?
Speaker 6 (02:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
No. Yeah, but you were. But I was.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I was doing it. Yeah. I still actually feel the effect.
I've lost weight since doing it.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I think you had a bad weekend. That's what it
was like. They caught you on like a Monday or Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
But she had no reference point to call me fat
faced like that, though.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I thought you met with her like every week.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Yeah, but we weren't, you know, we weren't on Zoom.
We weren't on.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Oh, she never saw you. That was the first time
she saw you. She just saw me. Damn. Yeah, it
was bad. That's a pretty wild assumption.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And she has no idea how, like, body dysmorphia, I'm
messed up that way.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I'm obese. Good move.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
I love food.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
No, that's not true. And the fact that she would
attack me in that manner. Don't say that.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Bro, I went and sat in a corner later on
that day and just ate, like, three bags of Doritos.
I was like, hey, if she's going to call me
fat face, I'll give you fat face.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
A whole gallon of ice cream.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'll give you your fat face and then you'll see
what you want. You'll see the difference. And then you'll
know that your program actually was working. I think you
look wonderful.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Thank you. I think you look great. Thanks guys. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I'm morbidly obese, but I'm working on it. That's, that's
my weight. I have to lose like 20 pounds. I
just can't figure it out. I can't figure it out.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I got to lose 20 pounds.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
It always does this.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
By the way, job site planning, guess what? It just
got easier.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Use our project planning suite of tools to build your
entire supply list and get custom quotes, plus request pro
takeoffs from our team to streamline the job, centralize your
project planning, all from one partner, sponsored by the Home Depot.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Now, that's a place we can get behind.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Love the Home Depot. Stick City is a place. All right, so.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
LaVar, you mentioned this and kind of referenced this.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Lane Kiffin in the midst of LSU just annihilating Clemson.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Is that what it was?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
I mean, they beat their ass. That was bad.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Can we honestly identify what that was? That was one
program that has embodied, that has adjusted with NIL, the
transfer portal, where college football is at today. I think
it's fair to say they're a market disruptor. They're a
first mover in the aggressiveness to go get talent.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That's what LSU is.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
That's what they have been getting Lane Kiffin, paying off
other coaches, and also how they've got about trying to
build the roster. And on the other hand, you've got...
The old wooden ship. Here comes in the Mayflower. It's
like they just are. And here's what I'll say about
Dabo is, you know, they they have taken on more
(05:42):
transfers this year. I think they took six, two years
ago to 11 this year. So they're slowly building. And
I'm not saying that that's the right way of doing it.
You know, maybe Dabo is right. The problem is he's
he's had coordinators have been plucked from his program.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I mean, you can look at.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Brent Venable, since he left, how much they've struggled defensively.
That's been one area of concern, I think, is just
that lack of consistency there. Chad Morris is back as
their OC. Now, that didn't matter for week one, but
I think it will help them moving forward. But the
problem is, and I think it was highlighted by what
you saw at the quarterback spot, Vazina, the quarterback who
(06:21):
got benched, I want to say in the first half,
first quarter, That guy is waiting three. This is his
third year at Clemson for this opportunity. And they bench
him that quick. Doesn't that give you a sense of like,
maybe you got some reservations about him being the guy
in the first place. And if that's the case, why
wouldn't you go try to find a transfer quarterback? That's
(06:42):
what everyone else is doing. I mean, that's not saying
there's not holes in other parts of the roster, but
I mean, you look at Miami, uh, And they bring
in a guy, Darian Mensah, and it goes from a
team that you're like, all right, we'll see what they're
going to be. Okay, they look like one of those
best teams, too. Like LSU, Miami, Ohio State, those are
the top three teams for this past weekend. And meanwhile,
Clemson's still trying to do things the old-fashioned way. And
(07:03):
maybe it'll work out at some point for Dabo. It
just hasn't in recent history.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
He's, of all the coaches that are still coaching... He's
been by far and away the most vocal about his
dislike of this new college football landscape. And it's almost
as if Saban saw it and was like, yeah, I'm
good here. Like, this isn't going to work for me.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
And Dabo's still there.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
You think that's because he knows he can't win at
that game? Like, Clemson might not be able to drive
up as much NIL as they need to have.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's what it feels like.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Even though they've got great fans, great support, maybe he
feels like that's a losing battle. If he's going to
have to try to fundraise every single year for NIL
in order to create a roster that can compete with
the LSUs of the world, the Ohio States of the world,
the name your, you know, Georgia, whoever else, Texas.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Maybe that's partially why he feels that way.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And Nick Saban, Nick Saban is a relationship guy. I'm
sure Dabo Sweeney is the same way. Cause he's a,
you know, former player of his, or no, he's not
a former player of Stallings.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It would have been stalling, but, Maybe that Alabama mentality.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
One thing I'll say about Saban is I would think
that it's more personal. He probably walked away because the
way he coached and the way he recruited, to think
that you have to do that with a kid once
you get them. You have to continue to recruit kids
once you get them. You know how they made the
joke in the program? and Darnell Jefferson showed up on
(08:37):
camp easy he's like wait hold on we're all the
cheerleaders and all the the band and all that he
was like well you know it's the summer they don't
come back for another few weeks da da da oh
and by the way we got you now you know
like you can't say that anymore it's like you're not
being recruited we we got I think I think Nick
Saban and other coaches that had that old school way
of doing things like we were talking about on the
(08:58):
sideline this weekend like coaches actually writing handwritten letters. Can
you imagine there was a time where coaches sent handwritten
letters to you in the mail?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Crazy to think there was a time that existed that way.
And I think that you can't keep kids anymore. They're
looking for the next stop on their list of places
to stop and go to before they're done playing college football.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I think that's the major turnoff for some guys, man.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I also think that it is entirely different, the relationship
that they have. Because when you say Nick Saban was
a relationship coach, I feel like that relationship was one
in which he's the dictator.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yes, correct. Whether that's with his coaches or his players.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
And now if you look at how you have to
be as a head coach, you look at the Lane Kiffins,
the Marcus Freemans, you have to have a genuine connection
with them because now more than ever, the player has
the power. The player can leave you. The player can
get paid. I'm not going to say right now they're
getting paid as much. as these coaches, but they're approaching it.
(10:03):
If we're being real about this, if things keep going
the way they're going, you're going to have players who
are getting paid more than the coach. And that becomes
a dynamic where you say, well, what then can the
coach say or do to that player if they're getting
paid more than him?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
They're powerless in a way.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
And the only thing they can do is find that
common ground of wanting to win, wanting to get him
drafted as high as possible, number one overall, what have you.
Those commonalities that they're both working towards. There's not a
system put in place yet where a fine system ultimately
really works because, again, it's so transient. One of the
(10:43):
ways in which NFL players are able to display some
of their power is they'll just sit out.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
They hold out. They don't like something. They don't show up.
They're not there to help out their team and coach win.
But that hurts everyone.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
And plus, for the player, you're under contract for multiple years.
Now these players are, but it's really hard to enforce it.
Usually the teams are going to lose if they were
to take it to court, more often than not. Or
the players can still get out of it and pay
a minimum penalty. So that's what's so different is, and
I'm not saying that Dabo Sweeney is any sort of dictator.
(11:19):
You know, I do think there's an element of that
maybe in his program, but ultimately, I just think Dabo's
old school, when he wants to do it the way
he's done it in the past, and that was super
successful for a period of time, but now you found
yourself in this scenario where it's just, it's not like
what it once was, man. You have to adapt if
you want to survive. I mean, I also think you
(11:41):
could directly relate it to, you know, Cade Klubnick was
viewed as a very highly talented recruit. You know, he
ends up going, what, fourth round to the Jets? You know,
they had Trevor Lawrence. They won a national championship. And
he's a guy who's viewed as a first-round pick. You
had Deshaun Watson, had a lot of success with him.
Another guy, first-round pick. Like, there's also an element of,
you've got to go find that guy at quarterback. Because
(12:02):
if you don't have him, that's the biggest difference between
the haves and have-nots. They've got a guy who's going
to be viewed as a first-round talent. And every single
team that we look at and say they have a
chance of winning a national championship, they've got a stud
at quarterback.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
There's no holes there anymore.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
I mean, there was a time during a five-year stretch
in which Davos Swinney and Clemson was in the national
championship game four times.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
And he won two of those. It just makes you wonder, though,
like the amount of talent that he had. And he
seems like, yeah, a ton of talent.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
A ton of talent, bro.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
But if that same talent were around nowadays, they might.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
He wouldn't have it.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
He wouldn't have it.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
He seems like a really good guy who just has
struggled to keep up with the times.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Let me throw this one out at you because Q,
I don't think I've ever seen, in my recollection, I
think I'm right, I don't think I've ever seen a
transfer come in and start at Penn State. It's always
been recruited players.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
You had wide receivers last year. No, I'm saying quarterback.
I've never seen a transfer.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I've never seen a transfer quarterback play and be a starter, well,
be a starter at Penn State. during my entire life.
I think this is the first time. And let me
tell you something. Rocco Beck is a bad boy, dog.
He's a bad boy.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
He should be in the conversation for the Heisman after
his performance. Well, let's take a look at the odds.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Let me tell you something. That kid's release is as
quick a release as I've seen. And his ability to
see the field, his poise, his, I mean, I was
blown away. And in my mind, I was like, damn,
is this is like this is what it is like.
Like you bring in a transfer like you bring you
(13:52):
bring in a really good like this.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Is what it feels like. Like, hold on. Damn it,
Rocco Beck. Think I love you. I went up to
him and gave him a hug. I love you, man.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Currently 56 to one to win the Heisman.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Hey, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I'm not wanting to hype it because it's Penn State.
All I'm going to say is everybody was concerned. The
things I was hearing during the week, concerned about the
star power isn't there. And I just kept saying to
myself in my mind, I was like, I feel like
we've had too much star power around here. We need
more football players. And we need guys that love one
(14:32):
another and love playing the game. And I just got
to tell you, that's what I saw on Saturday. Tackling
was great. The play calling was dope. Like, it was
really good, man.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
He's right behind Kevin Jennings, who is a turnover machine. Dang.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
If you listened to Rhett Lashley last night, he, like,
blatantly put it on the receiver. Yeah, receiver ran the
wrong route on the one interception. It's like, all right,
don't need to see that on film. I'll just air
out the wide receiver on national TV.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
All I know is. Rocco Beck was slinging that pill, bro.
And it put it shed a new light on me
on transfer quarterbacks. It totally makes a difference.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Do you want to hear this? This this clip speaking
to head coaches and transfers and all this. Do you
want to hear this clip from Lane Kiffin's locker room
speech that got out? Here he was in the midst
of their beating LSU gave Clemson over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
All right, guys, we started here like seven, eight months ago,
whatever it was, all right? And we asked you to
work really hard, okay? And we asked you to come
back to work again and again and again, okay? Do
you feel good about what happened?
Speaker 6 (15:45):
I don't know. Who gives a * * * *?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
That's what's supposed to happen.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
They don't have celebrations for that.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
They work different. We're different.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
So you got to show them again. They're going to
come out. It doesn't matter what plays they run. It
doesn't matter what they do on offense, defense. Put the
next back in.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I don't give a * * * *.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
You send a * * * * message. Who * * * *
your schedule?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
They have to play you. And don't think we're letting
up late.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
No matter if you're in a game for one snap
or 50 more snaps, you can get out of them.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Don't hate you.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
So you get a chance to show the whole world. Now,
is it still considered leaked if the head coach is
behind the video getting out? Cause I 100% believe that
Lane Kiffin knew that was getting out there and probably said, yeah,
hit send.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Cause I think that's a side of him where we
see it and we go, dang, I didn't know he
had that in him.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
You know, it comes off as kind of this like.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
More chill, maybe a little bit of trash talker at times,
but doing yoga and.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Talking more in this tone than getting after the boys
like that. I would say this, though.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
I think what he's done, and this is, I don't
know if it's by design or if it's just how
it's worked out. He has embraced the villain like we
have discussed, but what that also does is it allows
everyone to rally around it. Like every single environment, He's
creating is it's us against them.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
It's us against the world. It's no one wants you
to win. Go prove them wrong.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
And I think as a former player, what's powerful about
that is it constantly puts you on edge. It constantly
puts you in this frame of mind of it's me
against everyone. It's me against whoever else is out there
besides me and these guys in this room. And that
can be a galvanizing thing when you feel like you're
constantly against everyone else out there in college football to
(17:58):
go out there and prove them wrong. The motivation factor
behind that. And I know you ask someone like.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Pete, what does it matter? It's a halftime speech, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
But there is something to the mindset and the focus
that comes along with that when every single day you're
reminded like everyone hates you.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
So go out and prove them wrong. That's a powerful thing.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
He sounded like Will Ferrell in old school when he
was talking to the pledge recruits.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
If you listen to it again, it sounds like Will Ferrell.
I couldn't unhear it. I close my eyes, I hear
Will Ferrell talking to the college recruits. Here's what I'll say.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
It put me in the vein of 100% he understands
the chaos that he creates. He understands it. That speech
there says to me he thinks logically. He's not illogical.
(18:59):
He is logical.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And to me, it.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Shines a different light on how I view him because
I almost felt as though it's like he's like in
this like no man's land of like, normal and like,
I don't know, the twilight zone. But that speech says
to me that he doesn't want people to know the
(19:26):
real him. Only the people that are privy to knowing
the real him are able to know him. And I
feel like that's what that speech made me feel. But
like I said earlier, I felt like the bigger story here,
and unless you're right and it's like, Somebody you did
that on purpose.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I mean, he did have the gymnast follow him in.
the stadium.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
He had a certain look when he walked into the stadium.
And saying embracing that villain look, it's 100%. Like he 100%
fits the persona of the type of coach that if
we're being real, is probably the type that you're going
to need for the future as NIO continues to develop.
(20:13):
But I think back to the phone, you got to start,
there has to be more management on people being able
to enter into places with recording devices. And honestly, I
know it sounds extreme and ridiculous, but you almost might
(20:33):
have to walk through a scanner once before you come
into one of these places, if you're going to protect
your interest of yourself and your team.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I could see Lane Kiffin walking up to whoever the
guy is and just being like, hey, record this.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Again, if that's what it is, and I buy that.
That's who he is. And I totally buy that.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
He's a professional wrestler.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
But, you know, I was just a part of that
whole Pat Craft thing where they leaked out him talking
to the team and all that stuff and what was
being said. That was a different time of year, though, right?
It was, but I just think that you got to
be aware of the recording. And there's probably a regular
cameraman that got that. That probably will run in one
(21:15):
of their– They're, you know, highlight stories of the week
or something to that effect.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
But I think it's dangerous. It's dangerous when you have
multiple recording things going on.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Even when he's at halftime and he's, you know, talking about, oh,
you know, we need to do this, we need to
do that. And they're blowing Clemson out. As he's walking away,
he can't help himself but say, man, it took me
everything to say. Imagine if we had those pro players
out there. He can't help himself. It sounds like normal
coach speak, and then he's got to add something more
(21:46):
on the end.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
There he is. That's who he is.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
For this timing, it's perfect. Because people gravitate to that.
People want to see those clicks and click on that
and see the highlights and see the little sound bites.
And even him walking in with Theo Vaughn, Brooks Nader,
and Libby Dunn, quite possibly the most random group of
(22:11):
collected people to walk into a stadium.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
And it didn't look forced.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
What's crazy about it is it didn't look out of
place at all. I'm sitting there like, does this look
out of place? Why am I, why am I looking
at this? Like, damn, like why don't more people do that?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Like it is random. Dion's been doing it.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Dion has been doing it. You're right about that. You
are right about that. Dion did normalize.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
It a little bit. You're right. That is true. But
it's just that group was somewhat random. I'm not really sure.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And look dope to me. He's walking up. He clearly
works out to wear his suit. So God bless you, Lane.
They can talk all the trash they want about you.
But you can wear a suit, my guy. He's wearing
his suit walking up. They're walking behind looking the way
they're looking. And they're big-time influencers, which is like brilliant marketing.
(23:13):
It's brilliant to open yourself up to the tons of
people that are influenced by them. And it's like you
walked in like, I know what we are about to
do to these Clemson Tigers. It was brilliant. It was
well done.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
At the very least, he's off to a better start
than Brian Kelly. Like, I'll say that. At the very least.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
At least, you know, it wasn't awkward. LSU might not
lose a game, man. They might not lose a game.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
They looked really good.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
I came away thinking they looked to be the best team,
and it wasn't perfect either early.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Which, you know, in the second half, I didn't. But
I'm just saying, it wasn't perfect early, but they still
look damn good. Man, bro. Man. They might be putting
some opponents to sleep. Speaking of sleep, by the way.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Life's busy, and sleep matters. Mattress firms, sleep experts, they
can match you with a customizable sleep solution. Right now
at Mattress Firm's best sale of the year, you could
save up to $ 1, 400. I can promise you, Lane Kiffin,

(26:15):
The crown is yours. I'm still a little shook up
during the break. Brady, are you familiar with a TV
show called Thousand Pound Sisters?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
With AZ, by the way.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Oh, no.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I've got no desire to see that.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Okay, it was a commercial on one of the TVs.
They're coming for me next.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
So is it just as it reads, it's just sisters
that weigh a combined thousand pounds?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
They used to weigh more.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
This is them after they've lost hundreds of pounds. No kidding, huh? Yes,
this is them smaller than they were. What'd they do,
get cut in half? Yeah, they went to one of
those doctors. What is he, Dr.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Fatty or something?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
I gotta go look him up.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Hold on. They look like... That's wild, man. That is wild.
A thousand pounds? Yeah. Oh, man. Well, hey, look. I
know what's also wild.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Don't look up those beforehands, Jonas.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
My screen's not big enough. I would say Roger Goodell
has earned himself a nice little living as commissioner of
the NFL. He's done well for himself. Roger Goodell has
agreed to a brand-new four-year extension that'll run through 2031.
(27:43):
Not the biggest surprise in the world, considering Roger Goodell
and all that he's done for the league. The owners
love him. He's, you know, helped bring in billions and
billions to the league. And so where they're at financially,
it would make sense that they want to keep him
around for a little while. And I believe he's, in total...
(28:06):
He's got to be a half billion. I think he's
around a half billion dollars that he's made as commissioner
of the NFL.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, so maybe more.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
But yeah, when I mean, just keep keep cash and checks, dude,
like do what you need to do.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
He has been, I think it's fair to say, the
most dominant of all of the commissioners over the span
of time. I mean, he's gotten everything that the owners want.
He's continually grown the game internationally. He's grown the bottom
line of the revenue. He's enforced and had stricter implementation
(28:43):
of the player conduct policy. Some of those clauses always
existed in the CBA. It's just the commissioner really never
enforced them. So he's done that. And then on the
other hand, he's had to deal with... some other stuff, right?
I mean, he's got some owners who like to wild now, man.
I mean, sometimes they're, they're getting a bad case of
the hornies and he's got to be able to figure
(29:04):
out how to navigate that.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
So yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Dang.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
I mean, I'm just, I'm just saying you got Asians
of Orca, East Palestine, you know, all kinds of stuff
going on there.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
It's a, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Tell me I'm wrong. You're not, you're not, you're not.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
And all you got to do is just respectfully say,
you know, tell them to not make you look bad
while you make them some more money. And then you're
going to get a new contract. I mean, you're not going,
you're not going to get popular being a disciplinarian to
them when they have those types of moments.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Once he stopped being law and order guy and just
focused on how can I make the league as much
money as possible? Cause there was a time, um, well
before he made the money that he's made on well
before he's become as popular as he has. Um, and
well before Tony Romo was, uh, driving around with road
sodas oh no that tony romo wanted to set up
(29:56):
a fantasy football convention in vegas and roger goodell told
him no it's a bad look gambling you know it's
not appropriate with the nfl a few years later imagine
if he would have been able to do it welcome
to all in tony romo i don't really care about
your broadcast buddy he was still i think he's still
playing And Roger was like, no, no, no, we're not.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
We're not.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
This is not happening. You're not not in the NFL.
And then not that far later, he realized, oh, well,
if we get in bed with gambling and and welcome
in some of these companies, the revenue stream, the broadcasting rights,
the international stuff that he's been pushing for. Like he's
like he said, a hell of a run, man. Congrats
to Roger Goodale. He, you know, he's a good dude.
(30:42):
I don't know if you, you know, I'm sure, you know,
know a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
He's really, really a cool dude, man.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
And, and pretty genuine. And I find it and that business,
it's very difficult to be a genuine person because it's like,
it's like, it's real life game of Thrones.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
In, in the NFL business as well.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
So, and, and for him, you know, the wind blows
highest at, at the top of the flagpole, he, you know,
He's handled things with such grace and with such style
and in a way where it makes it very difficult
for you to maybe pinpoint something critically where you'd say
(31:22):
it's worth doing away with him or moving on or
the time has come. He doesn't seem like he's kind
of obsolete yet. He's still keeping up with what's going on.
He's still relevant to what the times that are changing.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Yeah, but he's 67.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Like, come on. There's a couple things that springs to light, though.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Clearly, they don't have someone else in the waiting, which
is a concern if you're an NFL owner, because you
have been so successful during his tenure, but you don't
know who that next person is. So that could be
a bit concerning. The other thing is, he's been able
to kind of gloss over some things that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Haven't really been wins. I think you look at, for example....
Speaker 4 (32:05):
The NFL draft has been huge. The combine, though, hasn't
maybe grown into what I think they were hoping it
would grow into. So that's one of those deals where
you're kind of like, how could they find a way
of making that bigger?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
The Pro Bowl has literally died over his tenure.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
That's one of those things, too, where I don't know
if it's just a byproduct of how much money the
players are making and the risk is going.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
To far outweigh the reward.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
But he also could never figure out a way of
how to keep that as a part of it. So
I do think there have been a lot of wins.
There also have been some losses that people haven't necessarily
pointed to where he's squarely to blame for it. And
I don't know if that's the narrative that the NFL
was spun or it's just a byproduct of it kind
(32:54):
of is what it is and people don't really attach
Roger Goodell to that.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
But ultimately... He's had a lot more wins than losses.
We can at least say that.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
Do you think, on the subject of when you mentioned
the Pro Bowl, because Roger Goodell was the guy who
moved the Pro Bowl up before the Super Bowl, because
it used to be a week after the Super Bowl,
and his idea behind it, I remember him saying at
the time, was, I don't think the last game of
the year should be our exhibition or All-Star game. I
(33:23):
think the last game of the year, the finale, should
be the Super Bowl. And it made sense... But I
do wonder if that was the beginning of the end,
that then it sort of kind of got looked past as, oh,
you know, whatever, Pro Bowl's going on, because look, we're...
It was working.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I'll say that.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
The Pro Bowl was working. So when you made the change,
I mean, what was the change made for? I would
say to that question, if the decision was made because
of something that they saw trending.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
In the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Maybe the amount of, you know, resources it took to
do it over there. I don't know what it would
have been, but if you felt like you were staking
the claim on what you said is that it shouldn't
come after the Superbowl and you weren't making that decision
with the idea and understanding of what the game would
represent post post moving it.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I mean, That would be– that's a difficult one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Because it really did go– I felt like it went
downhill after they moved it to where they go to
Orlando or something like that. They went to Orlando first.
I thought it went downhill the minute they took it
out of Honolulu. But it might have– they might have
been costing them money though.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
That's the thing.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Because when we go to the Super Bowl and it
would be on the Sunday in between the conference championship
games and then– the super bowl i i don't.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I just don't think it feels quite as.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
Important because aren't we flying out that day to go
to super bowl like i just feel like a lot
of people sort of get skipped past.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
And and and look beyond so i just wonder if
that was.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
The football is unique it's a unique sport because of
the physicality of it and if you're not going to
do it like how the hockey player you know hockey
league does it what that's like mid-year or like halfway
point or whatever if you're not going to do a
pro ball halfway through the football season which i don't
think it would make any sense to do it then
then why not do it after the super bowl the
(35:25):
season's over it has concluded why not do it.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
After the super bowl yeah but.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
You know listen i respect the job that he's done
i know that i.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Know this if you're going to go to that pro
bowl well what used to be the pro bowl then
you're going to want to get there and uh pick
up that is built to get the job done without
making a fuss that's the nissan frontier it's built for
the work week but like i said it'll get you
ready to load up for that tailgate on the weekends
as well the 2026 nissan frontier.

You guys were traveling, gallivanting around the college football universe.
Debut edition of big noon kickoff.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
I did see Matt Liner got a little emotional. That
was pretty cool getting to see his son.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yeah. I mean, it was genuine. They surprised him with it.
So it was cool.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
It was cool for kind of everyone to everyone to see.
And obviously SMU getting a win last night. But actually,
Matt was Matt was there.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
At the game.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
So he was giving me a play by play of
what was happening with the light situation, with the power outage.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
And at one point, he just goes, get me out
of Tallahassee. I was like, yeah, I could see that.
But great weekend, fun weekend to kick things off. I
will say this.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
To the state of Indiana, fix your damn roads, okay?
I have never been across an interstate. I-70, west, east, whatever.
Fix your damn roads. It's been like this for years, okay?
There's a lot of people out there driving right now,
a lot of truck drivers. They're probably nodding their heads like, yep,
tons of potholes, constant construction.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Figure it out. Not that complicated. All right. Asphalt. That's
all we're doing. We're paving roads here. All right. Do
it at night. Do it a weekend or something. Just
get it done. My God. It's awful. Awful.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
Like you literally know when you enter the state of
Indiana because of how bad I-70 is.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
That's how bad the roads are. It's incredible.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
Is it just always under construction or they just haven't
touched it yet?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Like what's the... No, it's under construction. They haven't touched it.
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
It seems like it's just a placeholder. I don't know
if they haven't devoted funding to it, if they're just
eking it along.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Who knows? There's always someone on the take. It's just...
They can't seem to get it done. That's all I know.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
As soon as you enter into Ohio, it's like smooth driving.
You don't have to wear anything out. But as soon
as you enter in the state of Indiana, it just.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Everything... It goes to hell. Dang, Indiana. Fix your streets.
Speaker 5 (39:05):
You got anything, Sticks?
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Mr.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
Sticks snapped at me yesterday. Really? Yeah. He snuck off
on me. Like, I let him in the house.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
We were hanging out. He snuck off on me. And
he knows how to open and close doors. Like, he'll
open the outside door to come in. Like, if it's
not locked, he can he knows how to raise up
open it come in but he knows how to close
them too so he went downstairs closed the door so
i'm running over and through the house looking for him
and i know when.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
He's closed the door he he gets.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Comfortable on the couch or on the bed that's down
there and he's put a puddle somewhere and he knows
he's in trouble He knows he's in trouble. So when
he heard me screaming, I knew he knew he was
in trouble. Go downstairs. Big puddle. So I'm like, you're
going in your crate.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Crate time. Get in your place.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Usually he'll just go in. But today, you know, or yesterday,
he chose to, I guess he's hitting manhood.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
And he's like, I'm not going in the crate. Like,
I came downstairs. I closed the door. I took a
tinkle where I took my tinkle. I'm getting a little
bit of rest. And if you touch me, I'm going
to jack you up. And that was my IR.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
So what happened?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Well, it didn't end well for him. If I got
a drop down on all fours, then all of us
is going to be on all fours. And if we
all on all fours, for a few more years, I'm
going to still win that. So I bit him. He
bit me. And he was in his crate for.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
A little while.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
That's unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
I had to think about it yesterday.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
I think my dog sitter spoils them. I think my
dog sitter is the reason why I'm on the IR
this week.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Welcome to Big New Kickoff. I'm Rob Stone. Here y'all go.
Here's the problem with y'all. What's the problem with y'all?
Let me give you the problem with y'all. With Chuss.
What's the problem with Chuss?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Now, you have no reaction to your song in hour one.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Why would I? Exactly.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Can I say something in Genesis defense? He had to
get through so much crap at the beginning of the show.
It was like, all right, it's hard to get anything
about his song.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Your excuse for him is as weak as the excuse
for Western Michigan and Michigan.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't go that far. You're out of line.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
That should be your worst take, Brady Quinn.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
That should be your worst take ever, Brady. You're going
to die on that hill, Brady Quinn. Don't throw me
that category. That is ridiculous. You're going to die on
that hill, Brady Quinn. You crossed the line, Lamar. You
crossed the line. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Do you ever compare me to those?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It's ridiculous. Don't you? Don't you dare? Oh, my gosh.
Give Jonas another play. How about that? I was just.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Thinking, by the way, why have we not gotten a
deodorant sponsor to help with Jonas's B.O. in the morning?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
So it's a very good question. I breathe out of
my mouth, you know, and it's very difficult. It's a
challenge to breathe out.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Of your mouth.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
We had Mando for a while.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
We did. Yeah, we did. For a while. Come back!
Come on, come on back! Hold on a second.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
How did we go from I just got a compliment
for the music and then my body odor?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I had a company tell me my neck was too thick. Damn!
I mean, hey. Some of these advertisers, boy. All right,
we're good here. Listen, they really go at your neck.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Thick neck.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
She said, yeah, I can see it all in your
neck and in your face. Like, you're not doing our program.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
That's amazing. Hey, kudos to them, though. They're staying true
to the program. Were you being as disciplined as you.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Should have been? My face carries the weight. Hold on.
Hold on. Yes or no. Were you being as disciplined
as you should have been?
Speaker 5 (02:42):
To the nine?
Speaker 6 (02:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
No. Yeah, but you were. But I was.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I was doing it. Yeah. I still actually feel the effect.
I've lost weight since doing it.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I think you had a bad weekend. That's what it
was like. They caught you on like a Monday or Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
But she had no reference point to call me fat
faced like that, though.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I thought you met with her like every week.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Yeah, but we weren't, you know, we weren't on Zoom.
We weren't on.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Oh, she never saw you. That was the first time
she saw you. She just saw me. Damn. Yeah, it
was bad. That's a pretty wild assumption.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And she has no idea how, like, body dysmorphia, I'm
messed up that way.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I'm obese. Good move.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
I love food.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
No, that's not true. And the fact that she would
attack me in that manner. Don't say that.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Bro, I went and sat in a corner later on
that day and just ate, like, three bags of Doritos.
I was like, hey, if she's going to call me
fat face, I'll give you fat face.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
A whole gallon of ice cream.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'll give you your fat face and then you'll see
what you want. You'll see the difference. And then you'll
know that your program actually was working. I think you
look wonderful.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Thank you. I think you look great. Thanks guys. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I'm morbidly obese, but I'm working on it. That's, that's
my weight. I have to lose like 20 pounds. I
just can't figure it out. I can't figure it out.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I got to lose 20 pounds.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
It always does this.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
By the way, job site planning, guess what? It just
got easier.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Use our project planning suite of tools to build your
entire supply list and get custom quotes, plus request pro
takeoffs from our team to streamline the job, centralize your
project planning, all from one partner, sponsored by the Home Depot.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Now, that's a place we can get behind.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Love the Home Depot. Stick City is a place. All right, so.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
LaVar, you mentioned this and kind of referenced this.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Lane Kiffin in the midst of LSU just annihilating Clemson.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Is that what it was?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
I mean, they beat their ass. That was bad.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Can we honestly identify what that was? That was one
program that has embodied, that has adjusted with NIL, the
transfer portal, where college football is at today. I think
it's fair to say they're a market disruptor. They're a
first mover in the aggressiveness to go get talent.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That's what LSU is.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
That's what they have been getting Lane Kiffin, paying off
other coaches, and also how they've got about trying to
build the roster. And on the other hand, you've got...
The old wooden ship. Here comes in the Mayflower. It's
like they just are. And here's what I'll say about
Dabo is, you know, they they have taken on more
(05:42):
transfers this year. I think they took six, two years
ago to 11 this year. So they're slowly building. And
I'm not saying that that's the right way of doing it.
You know, maybe Dabo is right. The problem is he's
he's had coordinators have been plucked from his program.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I mean, you can look at.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Brent Venable, since he left, how much they've struggled defensively.
That's been one area of concern, I think, is just
that lack of consistency there. Chad Morris is back as
their OC. Now, that didn't matter for week one, but
I think it will help them moving forward. But the
problem is, and I think it was highlighted by what
you saw at the quarterback spot, Vazina, the quarterback who
(06:21):
got benched, I want to say in the first half,
first quarter, That guy is waiting three. This is his
third year at Clemson for this opportunity. And they bench
him that quick. Doesn't that give you a sense of like,
maybe you got some reservations about him being the guy
in the first place. And if that's the case, why
wouldn't you go try to find a transfer quarterback? That's
(06:42):
what everyone else is doing. I mean, that's not saying
there's not holes in other parts of the roster, but
I mean, you look at Miami, uh, And they bring
in a guy, Darian Mensah, and it goes from a
team that you're like, all right, we'll see what they're
going to be. Okay, they look like one of those
best teams, too. Like LSU, Miami, Ohio State, those are
the top three teams for this past weekend. And meanwhile,
Clemson's still trying to do things the old-fashioned way. And
(07:03):
maybe it'll work out at some point for Dabo. It
just hasn't in recent history.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
He's, of all the coaches that are still coaching... He's
been by far and away the most vocal about his
dislike of this new college football landscape. And it's almost
as if Saban saw it and was like, yeah, I'm
good here. Like, this isn't going to work for me.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
And Dabo's still there.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
You think that's because he knows he can't win at
that game? Like, Clemson might not be able to drive
up as much NIL as they need to have.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's what it feels like.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Even though they've got great fans, great support, maybe he
feels like that's a losing battle. If he's going to
have to try to fundraise every single year for NIL
in order to create a roster that can compete with
the LSUs of the world, the Ohio States of the world,
the name your, you know, Georgia, whoever else, Texas.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Maybe that's partially why he feels that way.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And Nick Saban, Nick Saban is a relationship guy. I'm
sure Dabo Sweeney is the same way. Cause he's a,
you know, former player of his, or no, he's not
a former player of Stallings.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It would have been stalling, but, Maybe that Alabama mentality.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
One thing I'll say about Saban is I would think
that it's more personal. He probably walked away because the
way he coached and the way he recruited, to think
that you have to do that with a kid once
you get them. You have to continue to recruit kids
once you get them. You know how they made the
joke in the program? and Darnell Jefferson showed up on
(08:37):
camp easy he's like wait hold on we're all the
cheerleaders and all the the band and all that he
was like well you know it's the summer they don't
come back for another few weeks da da da oh
and by the way we got you now you know
like you can't say that anymore it's like you're not
being recruited we we got I think I think Nick
Saban and other coaches that had that old school way
of doing things like we were talking about on the
(08:58):
sideline this weekend like coaches actually writing handwritten letters. Can
you imagine there was a time where coaches sent handwritten
letters to you in the mail?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Crazy to think there was a time that existed that way.
And I think that you can't keep kids anymore. They're
looking for the next stop on their list of places
to stop and go to before they're done playing college football.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I think that's the major turnoff for some guys, man.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I also think that it is entirely different, the relationship
that they have. Because when you say Nick Saban was
a relationship coach, I feel like that relationship was one
in which he's the dictator.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yes, correct. Whether that's with his coaches or his players.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
And now if you look at how you have to
be as a head coach, you look at the Lane Kiffins,
the Marcus Freemans, you have to have a genuine connection
with them because now more than ever, the player has
the power. The player can leave you. The player can
get paid. I'm not going to say right now they're
getting paid as much. as these coaches, but they're approaching it.
(10:03):
If we're being real about this, if things keep going
the way they're going, you're going to have players who
are getting paid more than the coach. And that becomes
a dynamic where you say, well, what then can the
coach say or do to that player if they're getting
paid more than him?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
They're powerless in a way.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
And the only thing they can do is find that
common ground of wanting to win, wanting to get him
drafted as high as possible, number one overall, what have you.
Those commonalities that they're both working towards. There's not a
system put in place yet where a fine system ultimately
really works because, again, it's so transient. One of the
(10:43):
ways in which NFL players are able to display some
of their power is they'll just sit out.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
They hold out. They don't like something. They don't show up.
They're not there to help out their team and coach win.
But that hurts everyone.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
And plus, for the player, you're under contract for multiple years.
Now these players are, but it's really hard to enforce it.
Usually the teams are going to lose if they were
to take it to court, more often than not. Or
the players can still get out of it and pay
a minimum penalty. So that's what's so different is, and
I'm not saying that Dabo Sweeney is any sort of dictator.
(11:19):
You know, I do think there's an element of that
maybe in his program, but ultimately, I just think Dabo's
old school, when he wants to do it the way
he's done it in the past, and that was super
successful for a period of time, but now you found
yourself in this scenario where it's just, it's not like
what it once was, man. You have to adapt if
you want to survive. I mean, I also think you
(11:41):
could directly relate it to, you know, Cade Klubnick was
viewed as a very highly talented recruit. You know, he
ends up going, what, fourth round to the Jets? You know,
they had Trevor Lawrence. They won a national championship. And
he's a guy who's viewed as a first-round pick. You
had Deshaun Watson, had a lot of success with him.
Another guy, first-round pick. Like, there's also an element of,
you've got to go find that guy at quarterback. Because
(12:02):
if you don't have him, that's the biggest difference between
the haves and have-nots. They've got a guy who's going
to be viewed as a first-round talent. And every single
team that we look at and say they have a
chance of winning a national championship, they've got a stud
at quarterback.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
There's no holes there anymore.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
I mean, there was a time during a five-year stretch
in which Davos Swinney and Clemson was in the national
championship game four times.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
And he won two of those. It just makes you wonder, though,
like the amount of talent that he had. And he
seems like, yeah, a ton of talent.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
A ton of talent, bro.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
But if that same talent were around nowadays, they might.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
He wouldn't have it.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
He wouldn't have it.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
He seems like a really good guy who just has
struggled to keep up with the times.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Let me throw this one out at you because Q,
I don't think I've ever seen, in my recollection, I
think I'm right, I don't think I've ever seen a
transfer come in and start at Penn State. It's always
been recruited players.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
You had wide receivers last year. No, I'm saying quarterback.
I've never seen a transfer.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I've never seen a transfer quarterback play and be a starter, well,
be a starter at Penn State. during my entire life.
I think this is the first time. And let me
tell you something. Rocco Beck is a bad boy, dog.
He's a bad boy.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
He should be in the conversation for the Heisman after
his performance. Well, let's take a look at the odds.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Let me tell you something. That kid's release is as
quick a release as I've seen. And his ability to
see the field, his poise, his, I mean, I was
blown away. And in my mind, I was like, damn,
is this is like this is what it is like.
Like you bring in a transfer like you bring you
(13:52):
bring in a really good like this.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Is what it feels like. Like, hold on. Damn it,
Rocco Beck. Think I love you. I went up to
him and gave him a hug. I love you, man.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Currently 56 to one to win the Heisman.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Hey, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I'm not wanting to hype it because it's Penn State.
All I'm going to say is everybody was concerned. The
things I was hearing during the week, concerned about the
star power isn't there. And I just kept saying to
myself in my mind, I was like, I feel like
we've had too much star power around here. We need
more football players. And we need guys that love one
(14:32):
another and love playing the game. And I just got
to tell you, that's what I saw on Saturday. Tackling
was great. The play calling was dope. Like, it was
really good, man.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
He's right behind Kevin Jennings, who is a turnover machine. Dang.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
If you listened to Rhett Lashley last night, he, like,
blatantly put it on the receiver. Yeah, receiver ran the
wrong route on the one interception. It's like, all right,
don't need to see that on film. I'll just air
out the wide receiver on national TV.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
All I know is. Rocco Beck was slinging that pill, bro.
And it put it shed a new light on me
on transfer quarterbacks. It totally makes a difference.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Do you want to hear this? This this clip speaking
to head coaches and transfers and all this. Do you
want to hear this clip from Lane Kiffin's locker room
speech that got out? Here he was in the midst
of their beating LSU gave Clemson over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
All right, guys, we started here like seven, eight months ago,
whatever it was, all right? And we asked you to
work really hard, okay? And we asked you to come
back to work again and again and again, okay? Do
you feel good about what happened?
Speaker 6 (15:45):
I don't know. Who gives a * * * *?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
That's what's supposed to happen.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
They don't have celebrations for that.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
They work different. We're different.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
So you got to show them again. They're going to
come out. It doesn't matter what plays they run. It
doesn't matter what they do on offense, defense. Put the
next back in.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I don't give a * * * *.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
You send a * * * * message. Who * * * *
your schedule?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
They have to play you. And don't think we're letting
up late.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
No matter if you're in a game for one snap
or 50 more snaps, you can get out of them.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Don't hate you.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
So you get a chance to show the whole world. Now,
is it still considered leaked if the head coach is
behind the video getting out? Cause I 100% believe that
Lane Kiffin knew that was getting out there and probably said, yeah,
hit send.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Cause I think that's a side of him where we
see it and we go, dang, I didn't know he
had that in him.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
You know, it comes off as kind of this like.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
More chill, maybe a little bit of trash talker at times,
but doing yoga and.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Talking more in this tone than getting after the boys
like that. I would say this, though.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
I think what he's done, and this is, I don't
know if it's by design or if it's just how
it's worked out. He has embraced the villain like we
have discussed, but what that also does is it allows
everyone to rally around it. Like every single environment, He's
creating is it's us against them.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
It's us against the world. It's no one wants you
to win. Go prove them wrong.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
And I think as a former player, what's powerful about
that is it constantly puts you on edge. It constantly
puts you in this frame of mind of it's me
against everyone. It's me against whoever else is out there
besides me and these guys in this room. And that
can be a galvanizing thing when you feel like you're
constantly against everyone else out there in college football to
(17:58):
go out there and prove them wrong. The motivation factor
behind that. And I know you ask someone like.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Pete, what does it matter? It's a halftime speech, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
But there is something to the mindset and the focus
that comes along with that when every single day you're
reminded like everyone hates you.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
So go out and prove them wrong. That's a powerful thing.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
He sounded like Will Ferrell in old school when he
was talking to the pledge recruits.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
If you listen to it again, it sounds like Will Ferrell.
I couldn't unhear it. I close my eyes, I hear
Will Ferrell talking to the college recruits. Here's what I'll say.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
It put me in the vein of 100% he understands
the chaos that he creates. He understands it. That speech
there says to me he thinks logically. He's not illogical.
(18:59):
He is logical.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And to me, it.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Shines a different light on how I view him because
I almost felt as though it's like he's like in
this like no man's land of like, normal and like,
I don't know, the twilight zone. But that speech says
to me that he doesn't want people to know the
(19:26):
real him. Only the people that are privy to knowing
the real him are able to know him. And I
feel like that's what that speech made me feel. But
like I said earlier, I felt like the bigger story here,
and unless you're right and it's like, Somebody you did
that on purpose.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I mean, he did have the gymnast follow him in.
the stadium.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
He had a certain look when he walked into the stadium.
And saying embracing that villain look, it's 100%. Like he 100%
fits the persona of the type of coach that if
we're being real, is probably the type that you're going
to need for the future as NIO continues to develop.
(20:13):
But I think back to the phone, you got to start,
there has to be more management on people being able
to enter into places with recording devices. And honestly, I
know it sounds extreme and ridiculous, but you almost might
(20:33):
have to walk through a scanner once before you come
into one of these places, if you're going to protect
your interest of yourself and your team.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I could see Lane Kiffin walking up to whoever the
guy is and just being like, hey, record this.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Again, if that's what it is, and I buy that.
That's who he is. And I totally buy that.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
He's a professional wrestler.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
But, you know, I was just a part of that
whole Pat Craft thing where they leaked out him talking
to the team and all that stuff and what was
being said. That was a different time of year, though, right?
It was, but I just think that you got to
be aware of the recording. And there's probably a regular
cameraman that got that. That probably will run in one
(21:15):
of their– They're, you know, highlight stories of the week
or something to that effect.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
But I think it's dangerous. It's dangerous when you have
multiple recording things going on.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Even when he's at halftime and he's, you know, talking about, oh,
you know, we need to do this, we need to
do that. And they're blowing Clemson out. As he's walking away,
he can't help himself but say, man, it took me
everything to say. Imagine if we had those pro players
out there. He can't help himself. It sounds like normal
coach speak, and then he's got to add something more
(21:46):
on the end.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
There he is. That's who he is.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
For this timing, it's perfect. Because people gravitate to that.
People want to see those clicks and click on that
and see the highlights and see the little sound bites.
And even him walking in with Theo Vaughn, Brooks Nader,
and Libby Dunn, quite possibly the most random group of
(22:11):
collected people to walk into a stadium.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
And it didn't look forced.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
What's crazy about it is it didn't look out of
place at all. I'm sitting there like, does this look
out of place? Why am I, why am I looking
at this? Like, damn, like why don't more people do that?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Like it is random. Dion's been doing it.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Dion has been doing it. You're right about that. You
are right about that. Dion did normalize.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
It a little bit. You're right. That is true. But
it's just that group was somewhat random. I'm not really sure.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And look dope to me. He's walking up. He clearly
works out to wear his suit. So God bless you, Lane.
They can talk all the trash they want about you.
But you can wear a suit, my guy. He's wearing
his suit walking up. They're walking behind looking the way
they're looking. And they're big-time influencers, which is like brilliant marketing.
(23:13):
It's brilliant to open yourself up to the tons of
people that are influenced by them. And it's like you
walked in like, I know what we are about to
do to these Clemson Tigers. It was brilliant. It was
well done.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
At the very least, he's off to a better start
than Brian Kelly. Like, I'll say that. At the very least.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
At least, you know, it wasn't awkward. LSU might not
lose a game, man. They might not lose a game.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
They looked really good.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
I came away thinking they looked to be the best team,
and it wasn't perfect either early.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Which, you know, in the second half, I didn't. But
I'm just saying, it wasn't perfect early, but they still
look damn good. Man, bro. Man. They might be putting
some opponents to sleep. Speaking of sleep, by the way.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Life's busy, and sleep matters. Mattress firms, sleep experts, they
can match you with a customizable sleep solution. Right now
at Mattress Firm's best sale of the year, you could
save up to $ 1, 400. I can promise you, Lane Kiffin,
he goes to Mattress Firm. He's got plenty of mattresses

Speaker 2 (26:26):
With AZ, by the way.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Oh, no.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I've got no desire to see that.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Okay, it was a commercial on one of the TVs.
They're coming for me next.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
So is it just as it reads, it's just sisters
that weigh a combined thousand pounds?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
They used to weigh more.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
This is them after they've lost hundreds of pounds. No kidding, huh? Yes,
this is them smaller than they were. What'd they do,
get cut in half? Yeah, they went to one of
those doctors. What is he, Dr.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Fatty or something?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
I gotta go look him up.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Hold on. They look like... That's wild, man. That is wild.
A thousand pounds? Yeah. Oh, man. Well, hey, look. I
know what's also wild.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Don't look up those beforehands, Jonas.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
My screen's not big enough. I would say Roger Goodell
has earned himself a nice little living as commissioner of
the NFL. He's done well for himself. Roger Goodell has
agreed to a brand-new four-year extension that'll run through 2031.
(27:43):
Not the biggest surprise in the world, considering Roger Goodell
and all that he's done for the league. The owners
love him. He's, you know, helped bring in billions and
billions to the league. And so where they're at financially,
it would make sense that they want to keep him
around for a little while. And I believe he's, in total...
(28:06):
He's got to be a half billion. I think he's
around a half billion dollars that he's made as commissioner
of the NFL.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, so maybe more.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
But yeah, when I mean, just keep keep cash and checks, dude,
like do what you need to do.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
He has been, I think it's fair to say, the
most dominant of all of the commissioners over the span
of time. I mean, he's gotten everything that the owners want.
He's continually grown the game internationally. He's grown the bottom
line of the revenue. He's enforced and had stricter implementation
(28:43):
of the player conduct policy. Some of those clauses always
existed in the CBA. It's just the commissioner really never
enforced them. So he's done that. And then on the
other hand, he's had to deal with... some other stuff, right?
I mean, he's got some owners who like to wild now, man.
I mean, sometimes they're, they're getting a bad case of
the hornies and he's got to be able to figure
(29:04):
out how to navigate that.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
So yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Dang.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
I mean, I'm just, I'm just saying you got Asians
of Orca, East Palestine, you know, all kinds of stuff
going on there.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
It's a, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Tell me I'm wrong. You're not, you're not, you're not.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
And all you got to do is just respectfully say,
you know, tell them to not make you look bad
while you make them some more money. And then you're
going to get a new contract. I mean, you're not going,
you're not going to get popular being a disciplinarian to
them when they have those types of moments.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Once he stopped being law and order guy and just
focused on how can I make the league as much
money as possible? Cause there was a time, um, well
before he made the money that he's made on well
before he's become as popular as he has. Um, and
well before Tony Romo was, uh, driving around with road
sodas oh no that tony romo wanted to set up
(29:56):
a fantasy football convention in vegas and roger goodell told
him no it's a bad look gambling you know it's
not appropriate with the nfl a few years later imagine
if he would have been able to do it welcome
to all in tony romo i don't really care about
your broadcast buddy he was still i think he's still
playing And Roger was like, no, no, no, we're not.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
We're not.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
This is not happening. You're not not in the NFL.
And then not that far later, he realized, oh, well,
if we get in bed with gambling and and welcome
in some of these companies, the revenue stream, the broadcasting rights,
the international stuff that he's been pushing for. Like he's
like he said, a hell of a run, man. Congrats
to Roger Goodale. He, you know, he's a good dude.
(30:42):
I don't know if you, you know, I'm sure, you know,
know a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
He's really, really a cool dude, man.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
And, and pretty genuine. And I find it and that business,
it's very difficult to be a genuine person because it's like,
it's like, it's real life game of Thrones.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
In, in the NFL business as well.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
So, and, and for him, you know, the wind blows
highest at, at the top of the flagpole, he, you know,
He's handled things with such grace and with such style
and in a way where it makes it very difficult
for you to maybe pinpoint something critically where you'd say
(31:22):
it's worth doing away with him or moving on or
the time has come. He doesn't seem like he's kind
of obsolete yet. He's still keeping up with what's going on.
He's still relevant to what the times that are changing.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Yeah, but he's 67.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Like, come on. There's a couple things that springs to light, though.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Clearly, they don't have someone else in the waiting, which
is a concern if you're an NFL owner, because you
have been so successful during his tenure, but you don't
know who that next person is. So that could be
a bit concerning. The other thing is, he's been able
to kind of gloss over some things that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Haven't really been wins. I think you look at, for example....
Speaker 4 (32:05):
The NFL draft has been huge. The combine, though, hasn't
maybe grown into what I think they were hoping it
would grow into. So that's one of those deals where
you're kind of like, how could they find a way
of making that bigger?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
The Pro Bowl has literally died over his tenure.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
That's one of those things, too, where I don't know
if it's just a byproduct of how much money the
players are making and the risk is going.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
To far outweigh the reward.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
But he also could never figure out a way of
how to keep that as a part of it. So
I do think there have been a lot of wins.
There also have been some losses that people haven't necessarily
pointed to where he's squarely to blame for it. And
I don't know if that's the narrative that the NFL
was spun or it's just a byproduct of it kind
(32:54):
of is what it is and people don't really attach
Roger Goodell to that.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
But ultimately... He's had a lot more wins than losses.
We can at least say that.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
Do you think, on the subject of when you mentioned
the Pro Bowl, because Roger Goodell was the guy who
moved the Pro Bowl up before the Super Bowl, because
it used to be a week after the Super Bowl,
and his idea behind it, I remember him saying at
the time, was, I don't think the last game of
the year should be our exhibition or All-Star game. I
(33:23):
think the last game of the year, the finale, should
be the Super Bowl. And it made sense... But I
do wonder if that was the beginning of the end,
that then it sort of kind of got looked past as, oh,
you know, whatever, Pro Bowl's going on, because look, we're...
It was working.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I'll say that.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
The Pro Bowl was working. So when you made the change,
I mean, what was the change made for? I would
say to that question, if the decision was made because
of something that they saw trending.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
In the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Maybe the amount of, you know, resources it took to
do it over there. I don't know what it would
have been, but if you felt like you were staking
the claim on what you said is that it shouldn't
come after the Superbowl and you weren't making that decision
with the idea and understanding of what the game would
represent post post moving it.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I mean, That would be– that's a difficult one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Because it really did go– I felt like it went
downhill after they moved it to where they go to
Orlando or something like that. They went to Orlando first.
I thought it went downhill the minute they took it
out of Honolulu. But it might have– they might have
been costing them money though.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
That's the thing.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Because when we go to the Super Bowl and it
would be on the Sunday in between the conference championship
games and then– the super bowl i i don't.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I just don't think it feels quite as.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
Important because aren't we flying out that day to go
to super bowl like i just feel like a lot
of people sort of get skipped past.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
And and and look beyond so i just wonder if
that was.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
The football is unique it's a unique sport because of
the physicality of it and if you're not going to
do it like how the hockey player you know hockey
league does it what that's like mid-year or like halfway
point or whatever if you're not going to do a
pro ball halfway through the football season which i don't
think it would make any sense to do it then
then why not do it after the super bowl the
(35:25):
season's over it has concluded why not do it.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
After the super bowl yeah but.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
You know listen i respect the job that he's done
i know that i.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Know this if you're going to go to that pro
bowl well what used to be the pro bowl then
you're going to want to get there and uh pick
up that is built to get the job done without
making a fuss that's the nissan frontier it's built for
the work week but like i said it'll get you
ready to load up for that tailgate on the weekends
as well the 2026 nissan frontier.

Debut edition of big noon kickoff.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
I did see Matt Liner got a little emotional. That
was pretty cool getting to see his son.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yeah. I mean, it was genuine. They surprised him with it.
So it was cool.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
It was cool for kind of everyone to everyone to see.
And obviously SMU getting a win last night. But actually,
Matt was Matt was there.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
At the game.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
So he was giving me a play by play of
what was happening with the light situation, with the power outage.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
And at one point, he just goes, get me out
of Tallahassee. I was like, yeah, I could see that.
But great weekend, fun weekend to kick things off. I
will say this.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
To the state of Indiana, fix your damn roads, okay?
I have never been across an interstate. I-70, west, east, whatever.
Fix your damn roads. It's been like this for years, okay?
There's a lot of people out there driving right now,
a lot of truck drivers. They're probably nodding their heads like, yep,
tons of potholes, constant construction.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Figure it out. Not that complicated. All right. Asphalt. That's
all we're doing. We're paving roads here. All right. Do
it at night. Do it a weekend or something. Just
get it done. My God. It's awful. Awful.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
Like you literally know when you enter the state of
Indiana because of how bad I-70 is.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
That's how bad the roads are. It's incredible.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
Is it just always under construction or they just haven't
touched it yet?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Like what's the... No, it's under construction. They haven't touched it.
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
It seems like it's just a placeholder. I don't know
if they haven't devoted funding to it, if they're just
eking it along.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Who knows? There's always someone on the take. It's just...
They can't seem to get it done. That's all I know.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
As soon as you enter into Ohio, it's like smooth driving.
You don't have to wear anything out. But as soon
as you enter in the state of Indiana, it just.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Everything... It goes to hell. Dang, Indiana. Fix your streets.
Speaker 5 (39:05):
You got anything, Sticks?
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Mr.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
Sticks snapped at me yesterday. Really? Yeah. He snuck off
on me. Like, I let him in the house.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
We were hanging out. He snuck off on me. And
he knows how to open and close doors. Like, he'll
open the outside door to come in. Like, if it's
not locked, he can he knows how to raise up
open it come in but he knows how to close
them too so he went downstairs closed the door so
i'm running over and through the house looking for him
and i know when.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
He's closed the door he he gets.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Comfortable on the couch or on the bed that's down
there and he's put a puddle somewhere and he knows
he's in trouble He knows he's in trouble. So when
he heard me screaming, I knew he knew he was
in trouble. Go downstairs. Big puddle. So I'm like, you're
going in your crate.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Crate time. Get in your place.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Usually he'll just go in. But today, you know, or yesterday,
he chose to, I guess he's hitting manhood.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
And he's like, I'm not going in the crate. Like,
I came downstairs. I closed the door. I took a
tinkle where I took my tinkle. I'm getting a little
bit of rest. And if you touch me, I'm going
to jack you up. And that was my IR.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
So what happened?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Well, it didn't end well for him. If I got
a drop down on all fours, then all of us
is going to be on all fours. And if we
all on all fours, for a few more years, I'm
going to still win that. So I bit him. He
bit me. And he was in his crate for.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
A little while.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
That's unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
I had to think about it yesterday.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
I think my dog sitter spoils them. I think my
dog sitter is the reason why I'm on the IR
this week.
