Speaker 2 (01:08):
By the way, that's me making fun of Jonas. How
it flicks people off. Oh I tucked the thumb. I
don't do that. Whole stuff, that whole thumb, the whole thing.
You would lease the pointer and the ring finger onto
the middle one. No, no, I do it like a man,
the real brute. I feel like if you had the
ability to put that pointer in the ring in front
(01:28):
of like this, Yeah, I can't do that. Yeah I can't.
I don't do that. Why Oh come on Mary, Oh dang,
yeah she's going. You guys are having the therapeutic moment.
I mean, it makes you feel good, though, huh, it's
nothing better. Dang, all right, it's nothing better.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I don't know who came up with the middle finger
the bird and why they say it looks like a
bird because you have the thumb out and you had
the finger up like it almost looks like I mean,
why does it look like a bird?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I don't know, It's very strange. I just know Brady's
finger went all way across the screen when he did it.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
And you know, Brady doesn't have a middle finger. He's
got a whiffleball bat.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
So to all the women out there that are Brady
Quinn fans, which we know there is a ton of them,
you know, don't do this. You don't do this. I'm
good I won't go anywhere. God God bless his union.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Read some story about uh, dude, he got caught. He
had uh, he got caught. He had one marriage, but
then he had two other marriages going on at the
same time. And the worst part about the thought was
I was like, why did he need to marry the
other two? Like it wouldn't like that's not the traditional
way this usually happens.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Usually it's just like.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
But now he had three separate marriages going on at
the same time, and he finally got caught for it.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I mean, that's multitasking. That's just it's hard enough with
one marriage. Man. Yeah, I don't know how people, how
do you put that time in? Like do you like
family and all, like kids and everything? Yeah? I think
so let's go back and find it. Yeah, Mary, what
(03:12):
do you.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Think you don't admire the multitasking ability of this man
with three marriages.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Going on one day? Grandpa? I think had like, I think,
all right, okay, but clarify cliar what no, no, no, no, no,
no no no no, hold on no to hold on,
hold on, hold on, clarify that marriage. Don't do that.
Don't you mislead these people like that? All right, where
did he live? Okay, but no, where.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Did he live?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
No no, no, no, no, no no no no no,
no you stop.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Where where does he live? Where did he live? Okay?
My grandpa lived in Sudan. Okay, okay, okay, that's different. Okay, exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
But my grandpa was also like a really high I
think in the military or something, so he could yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So yeah, that makes it adds up. Now, I'm just saying,
depending on where you live in the world, it's it's
acceptable to take on as many wives as you can afford.
So and the Sudan eight marriages is fine. Well he
was at nine more, yeah, and probably had like seventy
some kids like if you do the math on it
(04:25):
a lot of yeah, you do the math on yeah,
hell yeah, you have no judgment, right, everything's cool.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Well, I don't care because I never met my grandpa.
Died when I was like three, so I never got
to meet him.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
He was probably tired. You met a lot of his Relax,
that's a lot. That's a lot.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
All I know is that my grandma's the first one.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
That's all I know. That's all that matters. YEA grandma
was the top b like can you imagine that grandchild
that's the grandchild.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Of the body bead like I don't you know, the
AP and the coaches pull unanimous number one.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
It's crazy because I don't mess any of the like
other like relatives or whatever exactly. Well, you know, also
you got to pay dowry for all of them too,
which is like can range from like tens of thousands of.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
All right, you got to be able to afford that action.
You don't just get it. You don't just get to
have all that that action. You gotta be able to
afford it. Your granddaddy had that oil money and plenty
of cows and goats to go along with it too,
ain't no doubt about it. Good for him. Yeah, and
(05:36):
rest easy, grandpa grandpa. All right, but back to business,
let's go.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Well we should point out, by the way, there was
some you know, Anthony Richardson wasn't the only injury that
took place.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I got by the way. Yeah, so it's appropriate. I
wonder if your granddaddy used some We're African, no, y'all,
you know he.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Actually yeah, I got that root.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
The l A Chargers can't have nice things. They got
a nice stadium walk around it.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, they're gonna need a new left tackle. Oh no, yeah,
not great. Rashaun Slater tore his ruptured his patil attendant
and practice yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
He's gonna be out for the year. He just signed
that deal too. Yeah, Like I think a couple of
weeks ago, it was like.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Why is that the most snake bitten team ever? It's
crazy every year they're dealing with an injury a star
player every year, and then it happens to one and
then it just snowballs from there.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
M so bad, man. Yeah, like Derwin James has always
been battling something, has always been battling.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
You know, Joey Bosa when he was there, he was
dealing with stuff like they had, you know, other injuries
pop up throughout the court. I mean even when they
went to the a FC title game, Philip Rivers tore
like two ligaments going into the game.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's just, yeah, they're there.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It sucks, man, Because Albert Breer was even talking yesterday
about how the approach Jim Harbaugh's taken, like they're they're
taking on his mindset, his mentality, and how much bigger
they are.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And then you look at how big they were.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, because Joe All on one side, Rashaun Slater on
the next, like that's that's your bookends for the next
ten years. And then he pops up with this, so
yet just an awful situation for Rashaun Slater. So now
we figure out what they do there. There also was
a preseason action last night, and we thought, well, you know,
since somebody else has the balls to do it, why
(07:35):
don't we go ahead and make some picks on the
preseason games. And we did some over unders, and so
Lead to Lap has got the results of the over unders.
I mean, I I gave you guys that work last week.
Spoiler alert, it probably happened again here. Oh wow, so
what are we looking allie?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
That is right, Jonas, you did go three and oh
last week to Levar's one and two and Brady's own three.
So that's where we started. But you know, that was
Pro Football Hall of Fame game. This is actual preseason
week one, so we'll start here. We had touchdowns thrown
by Anthony richardson over under at a half. Jonas had
the under, Brady and LeVar you guys took the over.
(08:17):
Of course, there was zero touchdowns thrown by Anthony Richards.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
We're not racist, So there's that. There you go, There
you go.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Trying to hold him downed him to get his face,
his finger dislocated.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Damn. Yeah, yeah, okay, there's always a great athlete. Can't
throw Go okay, thanks Jonas. What else, well, flipping it
on its head.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
We had Daniel Jones over under out of half touchdowns thrown.
He of course also hit the under no touchdowns, Jonas
with the under, Brady with the over.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
So equal opportunity.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Also racist also and then change change ther last name
to Martinez. W'll make a pick on the over.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
How about thisber of drives for Joe Burrow? He did
throw two touchdowns. Uh, the over under on drives was
two and a half. He do, He threw two touchdowns
and the two drives.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That he played he didn't. He didn't. He didn't play
a third one. Yeah, he hit the under on that one.
Sorry about that, Jonas, But he did make the most
of those two as me and Brady got one. Jonas
has two. That is great because it's yeah, okay, go
let's go.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Point total for that game was thirty seven and a half.
Philly winning that game thirty four to twenty seven. Brady
the lone wolf here with the over.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
On that one. Good job there, Brady effects to choose
one behind goh itd I'm two behind god.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Jalen Milroe touchdown thrown in his game over under was
set at one and a half.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Lavarn Jonas hitting the under on that one. Good job
that took. I thought it took. You took me a
lot over. Really, Yeah, that's what I'm seeing in the
notes here. Dang, I'm still two behind one. I didn't
think it for two. There's not enough left for me
to win.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Yeah, and uh, I'm assuming this was the same game.
Total attendance over under thirty thousand. It was over it
was sixty eight thousand.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Sixty as sixty eight thousand.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Dude, I've been there, done it. It is wild.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
That fan base, the twelves out there. They are one
of the best fan bases, and people never talk about it.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
For the preseason opener. Yes, it is wild.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I remember sitting there in the preseason games being like, damn,
it's loud. It is unlike, it is unlike any atmosphere,
that stadium, that that fan base, it is wild. I'm
telling you, they get rowdy for any game, any opportunity
to be there and be loud, they show out.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Dude, Seattle's that's a different animal out there. There's teams
that don't get that in the regular season, and they're
doing that in the first preseason game.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It's nuts on a work And by the way, it's
not even just the attendance. They're all decked out, the
phase at the outfits, the you know, like everything they
they bring it like preseason them is no different. They
see that as another opportunity to be there. It's cool
and they got to see a tie. Well, but maybe
(11:14):
that's how it ends the best way possible though, you know,
like Pete Carroll comes back, he isn't beat you on
your own place, just ends in a tigh.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, lest what are the what's the final score? One
are the rankings in?
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Well, you guys had six uh six props here or
six over unders. Brady and LeVar, you guys went three
and three, Jonas four and two.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I want to go back and I feel like I
went over too. I feel like I only got two. Oh,
I got the last one correct. I got the last
one that just correct.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Everyone got took the over on the attendance and what
did Jonahs get four?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And you said he got four? But I'm gonna go
back and listen that Lee. I'm just going to beat
your ass next time you win. Damn all right, if
you win one more time, I'm kicking your ass. Bro.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I would have said one. I would have said two.
Maybe if you can kind of rush touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
But it don't even matter, cute like one of us
needed to beat Jonas. The fact that he's won two
in a row. There's something going on. I would have
put wrong that was the case. But told you new
year knew me. I would have loved for you to
push him. But I'm going to really push you if
you win again. That's just I'm just promising you. That's
that's not a threat on air. Don't you ain't gotta
(12:23):
go to HR I'm gonna whoop your ass. Feeling froggy?
Want't you jomb? I mean, hey, bro, don't try me
to watch this. I will put that sleeper on your ass.
Know if Jonas would know what to do?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
You know, oh please, there's not a person on the
show to whoop my ass, not one.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
You're getting reckless when one more time you're gonna find
out about one damn. Tell you that Mary's grandpa will
whoop your ass. Damn. I mean literally, you know he's
got the cardio.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He's gonna put that hips at everything you want to
make every night you want his wife.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Actually, I think that's twelve. I think it's twelve because
that's a that's a whole lot more than nine hips. Though, Dang,
he ain't worry about nothing. That's how we do it.
The one he was he overweight, Like, did he have
a big belly? No, because he had to have been
(13:26):
in between all of that that brumping and grinded he
has like a general Yeah, but I mean he's getting
thirteen meals like three times and day them every day.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
And they all lived in different houses, like in different states.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I mean, like you, you married into an Hispanic family.
I mean, is it tough eating tacos all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
But you know what, that's got to be racist?
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Oh yes it is, Yes, it is, it is.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
That was not me. That's a fair question. That is
a fair question.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, Lee, Why did you write that on the prompter
for him to read? You gotta be ashamed of yourself.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I'll jump on that grenade, I suppose. Yeah, sure, yeah,
that is Uh that is that's listen. Those are always
in the cupboard.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Lee's not going to be hurt locker for me any
day because I write him too hard about his habitual.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
You know, a shot and a beer every day. It's
good for you.
Speaker 1 (14:27):

smart food type of deal. So we get them like
low carb tortillas. They're not as big as the ones
that really is terrible. They're not bad.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
My wife and my son were making tortillas in the
kitchen last week.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Like she grows her she grows her cilantro in the kitchen,
and so when she does and she crushes a barbicoa
slow cooked dip dip like the barbicola, she makes pretty fire.
I'm not a fan of barbicoa oh bro.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
And if you can get a ticket at Dodger Stadium,
get out there and and make it a.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Part of it.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
So and your guy Joe Davis gets to call his
games every single get awesome. How awesome is that?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah? So sounds like you're jealous. No, might be a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Joe Davis is a does a fine job. He does
he does. He's passive aggressive with some I don't believe.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
So he hasn't paid those fats at forever, and I
won't send to dip into his little piggy bank for betting,
which has not gone well either.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Not true. That's my son, my son's piggy bank, not mine.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
It's interesting, not totally accurate, but we do have something
to look forward to in the NFL when it comes
to the preseason. It was confirmed that Travis Hunter is
going to get opportunities going both ways against the Pittsburgh Steelers,
so he's going to play some offense, he's going to
play some defense. I will say this about you know,
(20:06):
Deon Sanders and the Colorado experience and experiment that they
put together there. He does have maybe two of the
most interesting storylines at least in the preseason opener. Want
to see how this plays out for Travis Hunter, want
to see how it plays out for Shador Sanders, both
from Colorado. So we're going to get to at least
see Travis Hunter try and get out there, play on
(20:28):
offense and play on defense and see how this experiment works.
So that's going to be enjoyable. Also, Patrick Mahomes is
expected to play this weekend in the preseason. And I'm
not trying to say that this is why, but it
is interesting that the two best quarterbacks of the last decade,
(20:48):
Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes, always play in the preseason.
Speaker 10 (20:52):
Right.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
It's well in Kansas City has not struggled with fast starts.
You know, we talked about the Bengals and they're str
was with it, and in large part because I mean
you can go back to Joe Burrow back at Ohio State,
you know, having issues in the spring staying healthy, but
obviously in training camp, you know, being able.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
To stay healthy before the season.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
So since that is trying to do everything they can
to get off to a fast start, because even though
you play seventeen games it, you know, it's still only
one or two games that can be the difference for
them last year and unfortunately it was the difference for
them being a playoff team, and you know, those early
games matter. There's kind of a thought where you know, hey,
you've got to slow start. You can pick it up.
The games in November December, the ones that matter the most.
(21:34):
It's like, well those games in September end up coming
back to bite in the ass a little bit, so
I completely get it as a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's there's a sense in it.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
It's kind of like a like boxing too, Like you
know you're gonna get hit when you go in the ring,
but you take that first hit, it's like, Okay, you
kind of get that adrenaline drop, you get it, get
it over with. With quarterbacks, it's very similar to you know,
you're never going to go through a game where early
I would say ninety nine percent of the time, you're
not gonna go through a game where you don't get touched.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I mean, if you're fortunate enough.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
To play behind an offensive line like that and have
a game like that, that's great, But you know, you
are trying to get a sense and a feel for,
you know, what the timing is going to be like
in the pocket, what what that day is going to
look like navigating the pocket. You know how much time
we're going to have, is our own line going to
be able to you know, actually stand up to this
group upfront or not? And to get a sense for
(22:26):
that internal clock when you got to go and oftentimes,
you know, playing some of those games in the preseason
game starts to get you into that flow a little
bit better, you know, even some of the just battling
through the soreness. You know, you take a few hits.
In the next week, you're going through practice and getting
used to, you know, callousing, you know to some of
the sortis that you that you face still having to
(22:47):
work practice prepared for the next week.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
It's necessary evil, I would if I were ever a coach,
the whole I don't want to get a guy hurt
or get a guy injured in pre season. My whole
thing is it's a necessary evil to get your guys
good game reps. Now, I'm not going to play you
(23:12):
no entire game. I might not even play you more
than two series, but I'm gonna give it two to
three series with all of my players pretty much every
single preseason game. Now that there's not three, did.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
You guys feel more prepared for week one of an
NFL season now that there's not four, Did you guys
feel more prepared for week one of an NFL season
or week one of a college football season.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
The NFL?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, preseously, you have training camp that's college You're like,
I don't even know how good we are. You know,
like you're working through the kids, and you could be
beating the crap out of your defense. You're like, damn,
our offense feels pretty good. Or times if you're struggle
against your defense, you're like, all right, maybe our defense
is good, Like you really don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I remember our.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Senior year because we you know, we were ranked like
two or whatever it was going into Week one and
we go down play Georgia Tech and it was a battle, man.
I mean, you know, Tanuda, their defensive coordinator, brought a
ton of pressure, a ton of blitzes, and you know,
we were able to escape with a win, but it
was a tight game. And afterwards, like we dropped in
the polls, and I was like, well, I don't know
(24:16):
how I think Georgia Tech's okay. They ended up playing
an a SEC championship game that year, but I just
remember thinking to myself, like, that's part of the issue
is you don't know until you get out there and
you go play. It's entirely different in college.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I just feel like pros give you a false sense
of either we're good or I don't know how good
we can be because the preseason doesn't it's not a
real sample size of how good a team is going
to be. I played on a Steve Spurrier team that
we went undefeated in preseason and we won five games
(24:50):
that year. You know, it just didn't It did not
correlate to what we were going to be in the
regular season. Now, say again, if you're playing your starters
in the preseason, and if it was like the old
school way of doing it, where by the third game,
if you can play into the second half of a game,
(25:14):
you're ready for a real football game. I think the
idea of it, which, by the way, I don't think
pros condition and strength train as intensely and as as
really like I guess, as much as you're forced to
do it in college, I think you're in better condition
(25:36):
if it's just based off of your college strength and
conditioning program versus PRO. I think PRO is a little
bit more laid back. It's a little bit more I
think it's guys have to take on the personality of
what that strength and conditioning room is going to be
(25:57):
like by team, is what I would say. But college,
you don't really have a choice, like it just it's different.
It's very I think it's way more intense in college
condition PRO.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
To your point, PRO is the only thing guys worry
about is a conditioning test, and it's gonna be and
only because you don't really do anything in OTA's mini
camp that is along those lines.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
And for some.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Reason, either the coaches or I don't have the strength
coach in the NFL, they have this idea that you
need to pass something in order to prove that you
are prepared to play football. Meanwhile, what you're doing to
prove you're prepared to play.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
For football is yeah, but the running the running test
isn't like the three hundred yard shuttle test is in
no way applicable to playing the game of football.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You know, there's other tests and things that teams do
now because they've realized that over time. But that would
used to be like the biggest concern from a strength
training conditioning standpoint, at least you know, in regards to
if you compare it to college. But but it's I
think the thing about the pros to your point about
it being not always the best indicator, at least in preseason,
(27:09):
is because no one's game planning. And on top of that,
there's just more parody in the NFL. So, as you
pointed out earlier, like even the worst team can beat
the best team on any given Sunday. Yeah, because the
margins aren't as big as we make them out to be.
In college football, the margins between the best and the
worst is much wider.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
There's so much greater disparity between the teams that have
all the talent the teams that don't. So the expectation
the way you can, you know, kind of go through
certain you know, weeks games to beat teams.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It's different than the NFL. You could use your second
third team to win those games. In reality, and in
some cases, in some cases you could use your second
and third string to win games. You're using your first
string so that they get their impactful reps and you
can figure out your timing and figure out what you
are with live reps. And that's why you don't, you know.
(28:03):
That's to me, the idea of changing formats around where
you play harder games or play conference games right out
of the gate. I love the idea of it. I
think it raises the stakes of it all instead of
just easing your way in. There is no shallow in.
It ain't like you walking off of the sand. You
(28:23):
get to feel how cold it is on your toes,
you get to feel how cold it is on your shins,
then your knees, then your quads, then you know, then
your waist. Then you're in like nah, Like I kind
of like just let's get on in. Let's go right
on in. It's twelve feet deep. The moment you touch it,
(28:44):
there ain't no eching your way in. I kind of
like that for college now that we have the playoff,
you know, kind of developing the way that it is
with the amount of teams, like get to it, Like,
let's get straight to it. You got enough time for
training camp, do what you need to do in training camp.
And and I would ultimately say, the reason why maybe
(29:07):
the committee would be more favorable toward towards a team
that loses a game earlier versus loses a game later
is for those reasons is that you didn't have like
that traditional sense of playing a small school and getting
your feet under you. You jump right to it. So
if you got a loss, you got a loss, but
(29:28):
you gotta finish out strong, finish out strong. You got
a chance. But that's only to me, that's only if
you're playing top grade a competition from from jump Street.
No easy cakewalks through the first week through the second week, like,
let's get to it.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
You know, Brady, you mentioned that Georgia Tech game to
open up the season back in six. You guys won
that game fourteen to ten. That was Joe Onawahi. Yeah,
Georgia Tech Roman Rains. Yes, Yeah, there's the captain there
of that defense.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
So yeah, I mean it was more like guys like
Philip Wheeler and uh. I think they don't know if
Derek Morgan was on the defensive end or not, but
they had some guys up front, some of the linebackers
that were like.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Really stood out.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Yeah, but you've got to win over a guy who's
made event in multiple WrestleManias. I mean, I don't know
where that goes on your list of accomplishments, but that's
got to be right up there.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
That's massive. You know, I don't care about wrestling, just
saying like this, this is important. You're trying to get
more out of me. You're trying to do more. I'm
not you can do more and a second, come, bring
more out yourself, all right, So bring it out yourself.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I've never ske take okay, so empty the clip Jonas
I was never ever critical when people would criticize Alabama
or some of these other programs for for scheduling a
cupcake or if they would schedule a big non conference
opponent like a USC it would always be on a
neutral site for Week one. For this reason alone, I
(31:02):
don't know how the hell anybody would be prepared and
ready to go without some sort of ramp up in
a preseason game. We're what two weeks away from week
one of the college football season. Yeah, no, it's like
two weeks away because there's just a little bit more
the island.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I mean there's some Yeah, there's some games that are Yeah,
I'm sorry, I'm focused there, I'm specific. I mean think
about it. For those teams, how the hell are you
ready to go? Like? How? How?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
And and it makes the whole idea of and we've
talked about this before, like why are their preseason rankings,
like like how do you even know who's what?
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Why?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Why do those exist at this point when when we
have no preseason no evidence, no body work, no nothing,
players changing portal this and that I don't know, playing
a team that's a real team, like unless you're but
do you know, hold on? So notre Dame is playing
who first, Texas Miami Miami Texas. Okay, so you got
(32:02):
those types of games, you're going to know coming out
of those games, what type of teams you have like
and And the idea of it is is because you're
talking about two teams, those are heavyweight matchups. Now, if
you're coming out and you're playing against I don't know, Alkorn,
(32:23):
Damn Troy. You know, if you're playing against like, you know, Texas,
Abilene Christian the College right, And I'm making that up.
I don't even know if that's true. But the point is,
if you're playing against a real team week one, you
get an idea if it's a good team or not.
You get a good idea. If if you're playing against
(32:44):
a cupcake team, there's no way of knowing because the
score or the stats are not going to be indicative
of how good that team is. So it comes back
to the conversation of the parody aspect of what's taking
place at the level. Are you playing against a real
opponent when you get out there and you play against them,
(33:06):
Because all of the resources that these power fours have
their off seasons are are probably in a lot of
ways far more advanced. The kids are far more well
prepared with what it is that they have going on
outside of the power for schools that they're going to
go play against. So if you go up against another
power for, you go up against like one year, Penn
(33:29):
State went up against Purdue in Lafayette. They went into
Lafayette and played their first game. I love that. I
love that, and that will to me, I think that
will give you more of an accurate indicator of what
type of team it can be. It's still potential because
they still have a lot of improving to do, but
would I would say the measurement is much different based
(33:51):
off of that.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Florida State in regards to the rankings. In regards to
the rankings, it's for TV, that's what's for because the
rankings you see early in the season aren't the rankings
that actually matter. The college football playoff rankings are the
only things that matter that doesn't even come out until October.
So it's for TV like that's it's the way of
selling the matchups as a top ten, top five, top
(34:14):
twenty five matchup to get people to watch.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Florida State was tenth going into the season. Last year.
They were awful.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yeah, as a turn and I just think there's examples
of that that you see all the time.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
But you also have a ton of teams, Jonnis, it's
not the NFL you have thirty two. You have one
hundred and thirty three teams individual and college football team.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
You get some stroke in college football. How would you
handle the rankings? When would you give rankings out after
Week two?
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I would make the College Football Playoff Committee. Well, if
you're going to do it, do it for the entirety
of the season, because one of the things that becomes
difficult to measure is when you go back and look
at strength to schedule and people start having the conversation about,
you know, would you account those ranked wins earlier in
the year before the playoff committee had their input, and
you know, because afterwards, if, like for examp, that team
(35:00):
falls apart, what does it you know, can you say
they beat a top ten team? I mean that's in hindsight.
You can always go back and like, well, yeah, they
weren't a top ten team. Well they were at that
moment based on how someone felt. And obviously, you know,
basically there's a winner or loser of every game, and
so if you are, for example, a top ten, top
fifteen team, and you lose that game, you drop which
(35:21):
is gonna happen you know at that point in time though,
that's how you're viewed going into that game, which is
kind of all that matters. So again, it's a nuanced conversation.
Everyone's got their own opinion. If it's a ranked win,
it's a ranked win. You know, I kind of hate
this whole Let's go back and look at it in
hindsight when it's like, well, then you're completely letting all
the people off the hook who made the rankings in
(35:42):
the first place. So either have rankings or you don't.
And why don't you make the committee that makes them.
Either do them at the beginning of the season or
just not do anything. Do a BCS ranking, make it
all computer and wait till the end of the season
to see who are the top teams that end up
making in the playoff.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
No, it's a good idea. Will it happen? Probably not.

Your next drink? Do you have one in your car?
I found one in my golf bag just yesterday. Yeah,
so you're you're ready to go as as you get
in the car. Yeah, Well what was it? It's a
tall can of Miller High Life. Did you drink it?
Speaker 5 (38:01):
No, it's probably all it's probably skunk. It's been in
there for a while.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
You're going to try, You're going to figure out what
it is. Drink? Yeah, I mean it's gonna be drunk,
that's for sure. You went tall can Miller High Life.
How much is that?
Speaker 5 (38:13):
Oh, that's got to be less than a dollar. Really,
Miller Highlight's a good deal less than a dollar. Well,
you can you get a thirty two ounce for three fifty,
so I'd assume a tall can.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yeah, it's maybe a dollar and some change. When I
was on my thirty two ounce kick and I was
like super crazy obese.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
I always got Pacifico's or or I had a cart Dellos.
I had a cart to Blanca. There two go, yeah,
same wheel house as the Medellas.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I used to get one. Drink it like an ice
cold one, make sure it was ice cold, and then
go to the park. Sit in the park and watch
the man man in the high school practice from across
the street with my little beer. Why wouldn't you right?
It would be stick city. Now, drink that ale now
you can't wait? That's all right? What you got?
Speaker 5 (39:10):
Controversial Instagram maps has been uh rolled out. People are
up in arms that it shares your location, although of
course you go in the settings and and get rid
of that. But women specifically say they're worried for their
safety now that their their location is being shared.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
They should be out exactly. You're right, this is a
terrible idea.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Yeah, it's not good. I think Snapchat does the same thing.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
I mean, you got over there. He's probably just perusing
through Instagram and who knows what he's doing. Damn, those
those locations would be good. I'm looking at the blood
well this weekend for you.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
