one of the hottest takes making the rounds on social media.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Last night from one Albert Brier. All right, so well, yeah,
this was from Albert Brier last night.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
In the midst of great playoff baseball up and down
the day, Albert Breer sends the following quote, Wearing sliding
mits has to be one of the softest looks a
pro athlete can have. Maybe the softest look. Now that
you've had time to think about that statement, any further thoughts.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I would I would like to have the opinions of
the two pro athletes that we have here with us, Jonas.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
What do you think.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
I think we don't think we can contell.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
With them Slider mits soft or what? What do you
guys think?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Is it really necessary?
Speaker 8 (02:50):
I mean it's I feel like the dirt in a
Major League baseball park has to be like some of
the best dirts you're gonna find.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
What I'm saying, right, I think it's to get you, yes,
the idea that you get cleated, right like?
Speaker 7 (03:02):
But I mean how often I don't know. I mean
I think every I think I think I think.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Every I think every like American kid has at one
point or another played baseball, right like every American boy
at one point almost every had played had.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Played baseball growing up, especially.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
People who are in our generation, like we all played
baseball as kids, right, Yeah? And how often do you
ever remember like it being a hazard, having like you're
having bare hands on the bass pass. I don't ever
remember that ever, like being a problem period?
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Do you?
Speaker 8 (03:37):
I guess you're also trying to navigate and move your
hands as you slide anyway, Like if you're just letting
it flail out there to get cleaned, it just doesn't
make any sense to me.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
But well, some guys, actually, some guys use it to
give them.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
They're you're not a pro jonas he said, hold on pro,
hold on, but I don't care about your whole sliding theory.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
But some guys, some guys use it to give them
a little extra ad on their hands so they can get.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
To the base sooner.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Oh god, that is that? Yeah? So are you are you?
Should you be considered out if he tags the tip?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
No, you can't know if he.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Tags your tip, are you out because your fingers aren't there.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
It's just just doesn't that just actually make your body
bigger to tag out?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Then?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yeah, you just got this.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
If your theory is.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
That it helps you get to the bag quicker because
it's you know, getting extension of your arm its target
where at right?
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I mean they legitimately, they legitimately look like oven mits LeVar.
What do you think it's a pretty soft look?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Do you think I will considered you know, maybe there's
less friction, you know, like I can recall first of all,
I wasn't a good slider because I wasn't I wasn't
great at baseball. But but and that's hard, like that's
a learned art, learning how to slide. So if you're
(05:00):
going hit first, face first and you're sliding, which I
would assume that that's the only time that these mits
would really matter. Maybe it's just less friction, like you
can move quicker to the bag, I would assume, and
and not possibly damage your hand. But like like you
guys are saying, I mean, it's such manicure, manicured dirt
(05:22):
that that you're sliding on, I don't know that it
would would matter. I would assume that there's other parts
of you that would be you know, and at risk
of getting brushburns and stuff like that if you slid.
So I don't know, I don't, I don't. I'm not
sure what the mits, you know, how the mits serve
a real purpose? You know? And this you know, especially
(05:45):
if it's like at a high level. I could see
if it was like Little League, there might be.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
That.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
I almost feel it would make you slower too, like
just not having your hands free, like feeling that you're
wearing like these like frying pnds are like, I don't know,
it just feels like it would be like it would
make your it would make you feel slower, right, I
don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Maybe I'm wrong about that part of it.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
It'd probably also be hard to convers so if you're
trying to do like, uh, you know the pantomime stuff
where you were using your hands similar to like what
should or was doing yesterday.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Right, like when you're trying to like get people to
understand you without speaking.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Yeah, what was that?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
And what about Hanson?
Speaker 6 (06:23):
I mean not that I don't know, guys, it doesn't
feel to me like the behavior for starting quarterback. But
that's just me. It was I was that was very interesting.
I guess he was.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
He was, uh, he was.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
He was responding to Rex Ryan and whatever Rex Ryan
said on ESPN the other day, which I mean, like fine,
But then does that mean you got rabbit ears? You know,
and you're hearing everything that everybody's saying about you.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
I just like I it's it's almost hard to watch
some of it because it's like you're not helping yourself, dude,
you know what I mean, Like you're playing into like
what people are saying.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
About you, and I I don't.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Like like I think the best things you do or
can do, and the best things you do or.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
The best things you door could accomplish this year is
to continue.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
To develop as a quarterback.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
And based on everything that I know about.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
What teams thought of him when they met with.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Them before the draft, and you know where he's been
at with the Browns, like the stuf I've said to
you guys over the last five months, you know, I
just I you know, he had a long way to go,
you know, And I think for a player like that,
the best thing to do is take every opportunity you
have to to develop, and you know, and and and
blend in with your teammates and and make sure that
(07:38):
you know you're doing all the right things so you're
creating the right amount of opportunity for yourself. And you know,
when when the team goes through something like you know
what they're going through this week, which is, you know,
a pretty major move when you're switching your forty year
old quarterback out for another rookie, it just feels to
me like another way of bringing any attention on to yourself,
you know, like you do or gets less attention that's if.
(08:00):
That's the funny thing about this is if should George
just stands in front of the microphones and says like, yep,
I got Dylan's back, you know, like I'm I'm I'm
excited to see what he can do out there or
anything he needs for me. If I can be a resource,
I'm going to do it.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Like like we're not even talking about it anymore. You know.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
He actually brought more attention to himself by doing the
mind thing than than than than he would have if
he had just gone out there and answered some questions.
But he didn't even need to do that because he's
not playing, you know, so I don't know.
Speaker 8 (08:28):
At some point he plays this season though, right, I mean,
like the way this thing's going, I mean.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
That's up to him and maybe the owner. I don't know.
I mean like I think like I think it's you
guys know this, like and this is something that's been
like impressed on me over the years, like you know,
in covering the sport. It's just you know, talking to
the guys like you you guys have played it and
guys who coach it, like you know, to put a
guy in there at that position, you got to have
(08:56):
confidence that, like he's going to be able to operate
the offense at a level that's going to allow the
other ten guys in the huddle to perform, you know,
And so can he do that? You know, is he is?
Is he going to be providing that for for his teammates? Like,
and I think that's the big that's the bigger thing.
And that's why I say it's up to him, you know, Like,
you know, his opportunity is can be dictated by how
he comes along in practice and what he looks like
(09:17):
in the coach's confidence to put him in there. Does
the organization want to get a look at him before
the end of the year, Sure, you know, they want
to get a look at all the guys at that
position so they can make a coherent decision on where
they're going at quarterbacks in twenty twenty six, whether they're
going to draft on or or trade or sign, trade
for or sign a veteran, like if you want to
have as much information as he possibly can on the
(09:39):
guys that you have already on your roster. But on
this on the flip side, you doors got to earn
that too, you know, unless unless somebody above the coach.
Coach steps in and says, says, you know, like we
have to take a look at him, Like I would
think that Chador.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Is going to have to earn that in practice and
we'll see if he can.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Speaking of quarterbacks that are are good, ab you got
Josh Allen and you got Jalen Hurts. These are quarterbacks
of the two remaining unbeaten teams. I saw your article, Uh,
you know your thoughts on the Eagles, and I see
I tend to agree with you. The old school way
(10:21):
of playing football, the old school approach, the way the
coaches is old school. Everything is kind of old school
about the Eagles. But when you look at the Bills,
they kind of have that same type of approach as well.
Both quarterbacks have mobility. Maybe Josh Allen, maybe the better quarterback,
may have more mobility. But at the end of the day,
(10:43):
you're talking about a formula that kind of is working,
even though it might look ugly. What's your is the
Are the Eagles the best team in the NFL? Is
it is it the Bills that are the best? Say?
Either way, right, both teams are doing it pretty much the.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Right. I mean, like I would say the Eagles It's
interesting because I think the Eagles are and I think.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
This is like this doesn't sound like a compliment.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
There's the highest compliment I think is the Eagles are
the team that can beat you the most amount of ways,
you know what I mean, Like the Eagles can win
all types of games, which I think is what it
takes to win in the playoffs, because you're going to
run into teams that are going to be able to
take away what.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
You do well. You're going to run into different conditions, you.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Know, whether it's the snow, the cold, the wind, whatever
it is that can force you to play a certain style.
And you know, if they say styles win fights, like
the Eagles are capable of playing the most amount of styles,
you know, and so like and I think you saw it,
like at the end of that Rams game, you know,
when they were able to take away San Sake one barklay,
(11:46):
which not many teams can do that. But when the
when the Rams were able to take away take one
Barklay in the run game. I mean, in the second
half of.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
That game, it was the A. J.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Brown and DeVante Smith show, you know what I mean,
Like every critical spot they were going to those two
and you know, I sort of seem you know, I
think it's you know, I think it's smart to you
to parallel the Bills, because you know, the Bills. I
think you saw something closer to their ceiling in the opener.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
And now it's almost like they're.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Not taking the Ferrari out when it's.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Raining, you know what I mean. Like now it's like
we're going to keep the We're going to keep the Ferrari.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
In the garage because we don't need to. We don't
need to pull it out and get it scuffed up now,
you know. So like you know, like those.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Two teams because they're so good, because they're so.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
Versatile, you know, have an ability to play certain styles
and play all styles really and then manage their seasons
a certain way. So you know, like do the Bills
need to empty the clip to beat the Saints?
Speaker 7 (12:42):
Snow? So they didn't.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Empty the clip against the Saints, you know, and and
it might have looked a little tight there at the end,
but they were able to step on their throat at
the end and.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Win, you know.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
And same with the Eagles, Like do the Eagles need Aj.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Brown and Devontae Smith to combine for you know, fifteen
catches every week. No, so like you know they're gonna
you know that they can save that tread on those
guys tires, and they can win different ways, and you know,
you continue to develop different ways to win games.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
And I think it serves you well in January.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
And you know, I don't think, I don't think. I
don't think any of.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Us would be We'll be.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Speaking out of school to say those two teams are
probably not only are they ndefeated now, they're probably going
to be there at the end too.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB,
joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. What are the
Bengals do? Because I think the thought was, well, Jake Browning,
although obviously a step down from Joe Burrow, at least
a couple of years ago, we saw some glimpses that
they can operate or at least stay afloat until potentially
(13:46):
Burrow comes back.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Later in the year.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
They look awful, and I know Zach Taylor came out
yesterday and said, I have all the faith in the
world in Jake, but are there options outside of him
that would make sense for them at this point?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
If they wanted to me to compete.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Here's the way, here's the way I've kind of come
to look at this like I you know, I when
I when I first started covering the league, I was
in the Patriots feet.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
As you guys know, and so I was that was
in the.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Middle of the Brady Manning rivalry, and it felt like
those two franchises were gonna win forever, right, and then,
like you know, the Colts bottom out just the right time.
They wind up with Andrew Lock so their their their
run gets extended a little bit. And then when Luck retires,
like the whole thing kind of went to It was
like like year and a year, like how are you
(14:34):
talk taping this thing together? And then the Patriots lose
Brady and they completely collapse, and you know, it just
sort of like for me at least, it kind of
you know, gave me the lesson that like every opportunity
you have with a quarterback like this to go into
the into the playoffs of the quarterback like this is gold,
so you need to take advantage of it. I relate
(14:54):
that to the Bengals because I think, yeah, I think
the time has come for them to look in the
mirror a little bit and say, do we really think
like we can get to seven wins by the time
Joe Burrow gets back, which should be the middle of December, right,
do we really think that we can get there?
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Because if you don't, like I think, you owe.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
It to yourself to look for different answers at the position.
Maybe that's Kirk Cousins. And I think if you look
at it, like.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
If they were to trade for Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
At the you know, in a couple of weeks, I
think the number would be down around eighteen million dollars
for the rest of the year.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
For eighteen million dollars, and.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Let's call it like a fourth round pick, is that
worth it? A lot of people might say no, he's
only going to start whatever many games, But to have
the opportunity to go into the playoffs with Joe Burrow,
I would say it would be worth that investment. You know,
like if you think Kirk Cousins can come in and
get you to say seven and six when Joe Burrow
gets back, and then you're in the playoffs with Joe Burrow,
(15:51):
with a team that's developed different strengths now because Joe
Burrow was out, Like I would one say that's worth
the investment. I long way of saying, like, I think
they've got to be really honest with themselves now about
their ability to create a playoff opportunity for themselves when
Joe Burrow gets back.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
And if Jake Browning can't get them there.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
I think they owe it to themselves to at least
explore different ideas of how they can get there.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
I've got another one for you, The New York Giants.
Obviously Jackson Dart brings in some juice, gets them a win.
Why keep both russ and Jamis? You know, is there
not a team out there that would look at Jamis
or Brussel for that matter, and go, yeah, that would
help us right now?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
The beg Wills being one of.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Them, Yeah, I mean I think I think they.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
I think if you're the Giants are definitely open for business,
you know, like I You've now you're in on Jackson Dart.
Obviously there's no turning back there, and so as I'm
the Giants, I would absolutely explore it.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
You know.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Now, I think, like what I mentioned with Kirk Cousins
and Bengals.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
I think is a little bit of a unique fit,
you know, Zach Taylor worked for McVeigh in Los Angeles
and McVeigh was Kirk cousins offensive coordinator in Washington.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
So I think with Cousins going to Cincinnati, there would
be like an.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Opportunity to sort of hit the ground running there that
may not exist the exact same way with a Winston
or Wilson.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
But I would agree with you, like.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
I think, I think that the Giants will should and
will listen to any offers for either of those two guys.
I don't know if you want to get rid of
both of them, you know, because I think you certainly
want to have some insurance there, and you also, I
think you value what you've sort of built in the
quarterback room over the course of this year.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
And so having the support of a veteran.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Quarterback in there for your young quarterbacks good. But I
would I would definitely entertain the idea of.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Moving one or the other, you know, Abe, I listened
to all the conversations, listen to our questions just now,
and you know, looking at all the things that are
out there, it's interesting, like the different kind of comparisons,
Like Jerry Jones comes out and says, well, you know,
I didn't pay Michael Parsons because it wasn't really going
(18:04):
to improve us to the level that he wanted it
to improve us to. So a lot of people feel
as though Jerry made the right business decision by paying
Michael Parsons. But then I look at a team like
Cleveland who paid Miles Garrett and they're a one win team.
So Miles Garrett, who some would say, you know, most
would say, I guess outside of you know, if you're
(18:26):
on a debate Michael Parsons or maybe TJ Y whoever else,
that he's the best defender in the league and his
team is one in three. I just I just wonder,
when we're having these conversations, how how do we measure
engage when one is seems to be more relevant than
the other, Because I don't think that takes away from
(18:48):
the greatness of Miles Garrett that they're a one in
three team. You know, Cincinnati, they're losing as well. Trey
Hendrickson got which I mean, obviously what isn't an elite,
but he got a deal. I mean, how how should
we be looking at this because we do get a
direct comparison with the fact that, okay, you could use
(19:09):
the same exact reasoning with Miles Garrett. If we're looking.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
At it that way, right, yeah, I would say, well,
I would say yeah, Like I think like the trade
market for those two is going to come naturally, just
in that if if those teams are out of the
out of the race, like the Bengals and Browns don't
really need to do much.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
And there are separate.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Situations, right like where with Miles Garrett, you're talking about
taking on a big contract and he's a much better player,
but like you're talking about taking on a big contract
right like so and and you're going to have him
for a few years, so there's the risk, there's a
financial risk you're taking with how much money you're taking on,
but then you also have him signed for a few years,
versus with Trey Hendrickson, you're talking about a guy who
(19:56):
is also as expensive, not quite as expensive, and in
a contract here so you don't have him beyond this year.
So there's separate situations. But I think that that that
sort of thing is going to happen naturally. And you know,
I think if you're a contending team, that would be
one thing that you would circle and you would look
at that, and you would say, okay, like what can
we go out and do? And you know, again maybe
(20:19):
it's something I think we talked about Detroit, right, Like
Detroit would be an interesting one for one.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
Of those guys.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
I would like, you know, now Detroit still got paid Hutchinson.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
So you know there's that question too.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
But like if you're if you're the Lions, and again
like you look at it like we're right back in
it and we need some we need to put somebody
opposit Aiden Hutchinson. And last year they did that was
a Darius Smith. You know that that would be a
team that might make that call. Could the Eagles make
that call? I know the Eagles had inquired a Mile
Scaret in the past. So I think these sorts of
(20:51):
things will happen naturally. And you know it's on those
teams then, to test the appetite of the Browns and
Bengals to trade those guys. That that again is assuming
that by the time we get to Halloween right around
there when the trade deadline believe is November fourth, that
those teams are out of any realistic playoff contention.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
All right, Albert Breer, before I let you go, you
know I'm just curious, do you believe that this Saturday,
by the time the game is over between Ohio State
and Minnesota, that the buck Eys will have won.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
By more than twenty three and a half points.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
You want to talk about not taking the ferrari out
of the garage right Like, I think the Ohio State
Buckeyes right now are like the ultimate example of that,
like where they're able to just choke teams out and
they haven't really.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
Taken the ferrari out of the garage yet. I think
this week maybe you starting to see them put a
little bit more like, let.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
You know, kind of like loosen the rains a little
bit on Julian saying, I'll say they cover Let's say
this one's like thirty one to seven, maybe so they
just cover that spread a little bit.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
Do you uh, do you have some concerns about their
you know, limited ability attacking down the field.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I think he's only.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Thrown like fifteen balls twenty yards or more downfield.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I don't know, like I'm not so it can be
intentional in two ways.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Though.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
It could be intentional because they don't feel like they
need to. It can be intentional because they don't feel
like that's Julian's strength, which is a terrible pairing then
with the wide receivers that they have, or it could
be you know, just a byproduct.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Yeah, but they went downfield. I mean, like if you
watch the game against Sou, like album went downfield.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
Albert, Albert. This is not an opinion. He's thrown fifteen
balls that have gone over twenty yards downfield, right, Like
that's that's me looking at a passing map telling you
I'm not This isn't an opinion.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
This is me telling you I think you've.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Seen the ability to do it, right, don't you.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, I think he does.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
And that's why, like I'm kind of looking at it and
going all right, like what's what's going on here?
Speaker 7 (22:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:56):
I mean I think I I think like you look
at the circumstances of the last of the big games
of course against Texas and Washington, I think there were
reasons why you were being careful there, and you want
to win those games on defense. You saw a little
bit more testing of that, you know, against scrambling and
and and Ou. And I think here's where this is
where like you're probably looking at, Okay, this stretch, maybe
(23:17):
you want to grow a little bit more with the
downfield passing game, but the defense is.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
So good right now, I don't know. I mean, is
there a better player in the country than R. L. Reece.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
He's a stud physically, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
I saw a clip of him standing up a left
tackle like the one the ground.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I was like, my god, I mean.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
It looked like I mean, that looked like you know,
Bane from Batman, Like that looks like I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, I was like, anyway, that could be the that
could be the name you threw out. There is most dominic.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
Ruben Bane from from Miami, right.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Yeah, I'm excited to see him against Florida State this weekend.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
For sure. I was raised in it.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Abe.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
We appreciate you guys by the way that you guys

Speaker 5 (26:24):
With you hair comeing up? Oh boy, what a bad
song coming up?
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Fifteen minutes from now, we are going to have another
edition of the Leftovers that will be yours here on FSR.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Let's talk about infusions, if you will.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
There was a report that came out yesterday that the
Big Ten is in discussions about a private capital deal
that would infuse at least two billion dollars into the
conference and at schools. Listen, this is where you just
turn it over. This is where you turn it over
to the one and the only break t Quinn to
try and explain what the hell this means, I'm moq
(27:04):
other than two billion dollars for the Big Ten as
they continue. It would include a ten year extension of
the Big Ten's grant of rights, so it would take
them all the way up to two thousand and forty six.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
So, mister Big Ten, what do we say here?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Buddy? I got more questions that I know answers for you.
I mean, I think the obvious is that.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
There is a thought that these athletic departments at various
universities are struggling because they now have to shell out
twenty and a half million as what was part of
their revenue from the TV contracts with the student athletes.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
They've got to share that per the House INCAA settlement.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
So there is a portion of schools who you know,
the budgets are probably tighter than you think in regards
to a lot of the schools. And in the Big
Ten alone, there's eighteen schools. Four were operating in the red,
so there's four who are not making a profit. Now
that's not high percentage of that conference, and you could
probably figure out which four schools those were, but the
(28:07):
general point is that you know, if they were making
ten twenty million, that's that's gone.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Now they've got to find other ways to do so.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
The existence of collectives has also tacked into their ability
to fundraise privately from donors, so they're looking for other
sources of capital. Now what's interesting about this is the
extension of the grant of rights and the timing of this.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
So, like my first question is.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
The two billion is obviously tied to the extension of
keeping all these schools together, as you would imagine, because
if you're a company that's investing into the Big Ten,
you're saying, we feel like, you know, we can help
you continue to grow and generate more revenue, and lieu
of that, we're going to make back xtra percentage on
(28:57):
our investment.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Right, we're gonna get that.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
That's our return on our invest But I also wonder
if there was a thought that maybe there are some
teams that want to break off, or maybe there is
the potential for things to break up even more, and
this at least in some way keeps them together, makes
their some sort of penalty, I assume, for if a
school wants to leave, but at the same time accomplishes
(29:20):
the goal of any athletic departments of the Big Ten
that we're concerned about being able to stay afloat, support
their Olympic sports, support their women's sports, or whatever you
want to point to that struggling. They've got the capital
do so now. So it's interesting from that standpoint. I
kind of look at it though, and just wonder, like,
how is this really possible? I mean, you look at
(29:42):
some of these like the NFL, for example, the league
agreed to, you know, private equity companies be able to
buy up to ten percent of individual organizations.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
So that's individually, how it's done.
Speaker 8 (29:56):
Collectively as a group, the Big Ten has agreed to
the this to take on this capital, So I'm curious, like,
is it evenly distributed.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
There's been there's been talks of certain.
Speaker 8 (30:08):
Brands that generate more revenue getting a pro rat of
share of what you know, TV revenue would be coming in,
for example, or even private Equiti revenue coming in.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Like, is it a fairfoll Ohio State to take the
same cut as Rutgers.
Speaker 8 (30:21):
I mean, I think we all want things to be
like equitable, But the reality is Ohio State really carries
the entire conference along with Michigan, Penn State, you know,
and some other big brands. But they're the most valued
sports program in the country. So again I've got more
questions about it than answers. I think it's a good thing,
(30:41):
though you don't you know, hear this coming out of
the SEC and not saying that they won't make this
move eventually as well.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
But if you look at who generates the most money.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
From the TV revenue, if you look at who's won
the last two national championships, which programs are are competing
and putting themselves up at the top at least of
college foot law as an indication, the Big ten has
more money and it's surpassing the SEC right now. And
we understand that if you're a better funded it leads
to better results and that's what we're saying right now.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
In college football, I would I would, first of all,
and group licensing situations. I guess if that would be
a fair comparison Q. I don't know, but maybe if
you're looking at it from a group licensing type of deal,
the lower tier guys don't make as much as the
top tier guys, and I would probably think that looking
(31:35):
at who's the drivers, like, Okay, come be in our conference.
We're going to drive it. You're going to make more money.
You're just not going to make more money than us.
If I'm Ohio State, or if I'm Oregon, if I'm
Penn State or Michigan, I would most likely want to
(31:55):
make the lion share based off of what we're bringing
to the tape. But with that being said, I also
would want the Big Ten to remain the most competitive,
strongest conference. And if you're looking at it maybe from
a long run, long game type of approach, right then
maybe you do give maybe you do make it more
(32:17):
of an even share. And the idea and that I
guess the spirit of if the more resources these other
teams have, it's going to make it harder for you
to be able to beat them, moving into the future,
but it also makes it competitive and creates parody. So
I just wonder who's making the decisions. Right, If it's
(32:38):
the Big Ten, I'm saying, let's try to even Let's
do it evenly so that we can make all our
teams very competitive. If I'm a coach or if I'm
the University of them themselves, I would probably be leaning
more towards I want to make the Lions share because
this is what we have, this is what we bring
to the table. They're the group, we're the lead singer.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
That would be how I would look at it, though
I'm not sure, but I mean seems to make sense.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
I think what's really interesting about all this is have
you guys seen an the commercials by Cody Campbell. He's
the billionaire that's been helping to fund Texas Tech, who
for those who don't know, he invested a ton of
money this offseason. Basically their entire basically their entire defensive
line is all new. They're all transfer portal players, Romelo Heights,
David Bailey, a couple of the inside players as well,
(33:27):
all very very good. I mean, they have in one
year completely turned around their defense and in part because
the front and some of the other players he's brought
into the transfer portal. But he has been advocating for
a change in the Sports Broadcasting Act. And look, there's
varying opinions on this, and I had a chance to
talk to him just for a few moments. We really
didn't get into the weeds on anything. But there's contrasting
(33:51):
thoughts where he's pushing for a change and really lobbying
the federal government for a change in the Sports Broadcasting
Agreement because he thinks that a lot of these athletic
departments are going to go defunct because of the rev
share from the House NCAA settlement.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Now, again, how much of that is legitimately true, I
don't know.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
I mean, I look at all this and just say,
most people, if they're publicly, you know, advocating for something,
they've got some sort of skin in the game.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
You know, there's some reason that they're pushing for this.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
And in this case, if you want to change the
Sports Broadcast Sports Broadcasting Act, what it would do would
essentially be it would take it away from the conferences
negotiating with TV networks, and it would be the entire
pool of teams that you would be negotiating with through
the TV rights, which I mean one would be cumbersome.
It would create obviously greater access, you could get more
(34:43):
you know, streaming service and so forth plugged into all this,
but it would be very, very difficult to manage. It
would probably raise the price and the cost of a
lot of those media rights which would get pass along
to the consumer to you. But again this is quote
unquote in an effort to you know, help these schools
(35:05):
increase their revenue to offset for what for their labor,
which is the student athletes now because they have to
pay them.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
So again, we don't have time for it.
Speaker 8 (35:12):
It's a long winded conversation, but this is this news
is coming at a really really interesting time because it
almost throws right back in the.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Face of what Cody Campbell's saying.
Speaker 8 (35:22):
Is that you know that they need to change the
Sports Broadcast Casting Act, which I don't know that many
people want to go back before that period of time,
not only one because it was harder to watch games
back then, but two, you know, it almost caps if
you think about it, like what some of these players
could be paid because some of the schools aren't going
to make out as well, like Rutgers is able to
(35:44):
compete in somewhat of a competitive manner because they are
getting a piece of what the TV meter ats deal
is from the Big Ten. If you take that away,
they're probably not getting as big as a piece. So
those players are going to make as much, they'll be
greater disparity. There's a lot of like cause and effect
for what could happen if they do, indeed try to appear.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Or chase the Sports Broadcasting Act.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
You know what would make this conversation better? What throwing
a little hot sauce on it, especially if it's original
Louisiana hot sauce. By the way, because this is a
hot and spicy topic, what better than to do a hot,
spicy edition of some hot sauce that has the perfect
(36:28):
balance of Pepper's, vinegar and salt. Not only this topic,
but you could put it on your wings, your nachos,
your burgers, even Jonas's clam chowder. That's right, hit any
Tailgate food, you can hit any food you want, that bold,
handcrafted flavor of the original Louisiana hot sauce that's Louisiana hot.
(36:49):
You gonna want to use it.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
So you need to buy you some.

he was at least a feature Kay Sanatt, who is
a very viral streamer right now, he reached one million viewers,
so he had Lebron come on his show. Lebron not
only gave a very inspirational speech that was almost two
(38:20):
and a half minutes long to all of his followers,

Speaker 5 (38:42):
Pretty quick?
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Here?
Speaker 2 (38:43):
So distracted?
Speaker 4 (38:44):
I mean listen, Well, he's probably upset because Luca is
the face of the franchise now, so he's probably that's right.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Why do you hate Noning man?
Speaker 5 (38:52):
It's the truth? Coop, my wrong, He's the future. Luca
is the future.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
But why do you hate noning? He's in the goat conversation.
Respect that man.
Speaker 10 (39:06):
That was a horrible goat sound on my part. Okay,
so Bad Bunny is still all over the news. NASCAR
driver and former girlfriend of Aaron Rodgers, Danica Patrick is
hopping on the hopping on the Bad Bunny hate train.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (39:20):
She actually said that speaking of singing in all Spanish
should not be allowed, and Bad Bunny meanwhile is celebrating,
emphasizing that this is a win for his people, his culture,
and his history and despite the backlash, nothing has been changed.
It is still going on at this moment. The halftime show,
the halftime show, Yes, well the halftime show show I'm
sure will go on no matter what. But people are
(39:41):
really fighting it like it's a serious thing, and even.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
Some people that are who cares?
Speaker 2 (39:48):
How do you say that in Spanish?
Speaker 3 (39:50):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (39:51):

one of the hottest takes making the rounds on social media.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Last night from one Albert Brier. All right, so well, yeah,
this was from Albert Brier last night.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
In the midst of great playoff baseball up and down
the day, Albert Breer sends the following quote, Wearing sliding
mits has to be one of the softest looks a
pro athlete can have. Maybe the softest look. Now that
you've had time to think about that statement, any further thoughts.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I would I would like to have the opinions of
the two pro athletes that we have here with us, Jonas.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
What do you think.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
I think we don't think we can contell.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
With them Slider mits soft or what? What do you
guys think?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Is it really necessary?
Speaker 8 (02:50):
I mean it's I feel like the dirt in a
Major League baseball park has to be like some of
the best dirts you're gonna find.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
What I'm saying, right, I think it's to get you, yes,
the idea that you get cleated, right like?
Speaker 7 (03:02):
But I mean how often I don't know. I mean
I think every I think I think I think.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Every I think every like American kid has at one
point or another played baseball, right like every American boy
at one point almost every had played had.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Played baseball growing up, especially.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
People who are in our generation, like we all played
baseball as kids, right, Yeah? And how often do you
ever remember like it being a hazard, having like you're
having bare hands on the bass pass. I don't ever
remember that ever, like being a problem period?
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Do you?
Speaker 8 (03:37):
I guess you're also trying to navigate and move your
hands as you slide anyway, Like if you're just letting
it flail out there to get cleaned, it just doesn't
make any sense to me.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
But well, some guys, actually, some guys use it to
give them.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
They're you're not a pro jonas he said, hold on pro,
hold on, but I don't care about your whole sliding theory.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
But some guys, some guys use it to give them
a little extra ad on their hands so they can get.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
To the base sooner.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Oh god, that is that? Yeah? So are you are you?
Should you be considered out if he tags the tip?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
No, you can't know if he.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Tags your tip, are you out because your fingers aren't there.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
It's just just doesn't that just actually make your body
bigger to tag out?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Then?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yeah, you just got this.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
If your theory is.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
That it helps you get to the bag quicker because
it's you know, getting extension of your arm its target
where at right?
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I mean they legitimately, they legitimately look like oven mits LeVar.
What do you think it's a pretty soft look?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Do you think I will considered you know, maybe there's
less friction, you know, like I can recall first of all,
I wasn't a good slider because I wasn't I wasn't
great at baseball. But but and that's hard, like that's
a learned art, learning how to slide. So if you're
(05:00):
going hit first, face first and you're sliding, which I
would assume that that's the only time that these mits
would really matter. Maybe it's just less friction, like you
can move quicker to the bag, I would assume, and
and not possibly damage your hand. But like like you
guys are saying, I mean, it's such manicure, manicured dirt
(05:22):
that that you're sliding on, I don't know that it
would would matter. I would assume that there's other parts
of you that would be you know, and at risk
of getting brushburns and stuff like that if you slid.
So I don't know, I don't, I don't. I'm not
sure what the mits, you know, how the mits serve
a real purpose? You know? And this you know, especially
(05:45):
if it's like at a high level. I could see
if it was like Little League, there might be.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
That.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
I almost feel it would make you slower too, like
just not having your hands free, like feeling that you're
wearing like these like frying pnds are like, I don't know,
it just feels like it would be like it would
make your it would make you feel slower, right, I
don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Maybe I'm wrong about that part of it.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
It'd probably also be hard to convers so if you're
trying to do like, uh, you know the pantomime stuff
where you were using your hands similar to like what
should or was doing yesterday.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Right, like when you're trying to like get people to
understand you without speaking.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Yeah, what was that?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
And what about Hanson?
Speaker 6 (06:23):
I mean not that I don't know, guys, it doesn't
feel to me like the behavior for starting quarterback. But
that's just me. It was I was that was very interesting.
I guess he was.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
He was, uh, he was.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
He was responding to Rex Ryan and whatever Rex Ryan
said on ESPN the other day, which I mean, like fine,
But then does that mean you got rabbit ears? You know,
and you're hearing everything that everybody's saying about you.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
I just like I it's it's almost hard to watch
some of it because it's like you're not helping yourself, dude,
you know what I mean, Like you're playing into like
what people are saying.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
About you, and I I don't.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Like like I think the best things you do or
can do, and the best things you do or.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
The best things you door could accomplish this year is
to continue.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
To develop as a quarterback.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
And based on everything that I know about.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
What teams thought of him when they met with.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Them before the draft, and you know where he's been
at with the Browns, like the stuf I've said to
you guys over the last five months, you know, I
just I you know, he had a long way to go,
you know, And I think for a player like that,
the best thing to do is take every opportunity you
have to to develop, and you know, and and and
blend in with your teammates and and make sure that
(07:38):
you know you're doing all the right things so you're
creating the right amount of opportunity for yourself. And you know,
when when the team goes through something like you know
what they're going through this week, which is, you know,
a pretty major move when you're switching your forty year
old quarterback out for another rookie, it just feels to
me like another way of bringing any attention on to yourself,
you know, like you do or gets less attention that's if.
(08:00):
That's the funny thing about this is if should George
just stands in front of the microphones and says like, yep,
I got Dylan's back, you know, like I'm I'm I'm
excited to see what he can do out there or
anything he needs for me. If I can be a resource,
I'm going to do it.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Like like we're not even talking about it anymore. You know.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
He actually brought more attention to himself by doing the
mind thing than than than than he would have if
he had just gone out there and answered some questions.
But he didn't even need to do that because he's
not playing, you know, so I don't know.
Speaker 8 (08:28):
At some point he plays this season though, right, I mean,
like the way this thing's going, I mean.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
That's up to him and maybe the owner. I don't know.
I mean like I think like I think it's you
guys know this, like and this is something that's been
like impressed on me over the years, like you know,
in covering the sport. It's just you know, talking to
the guys like you you guys have played it and
guys who coach it, like you know, to put a
guy in there at that position, you got to have
(08:56):
confidence that, like he's going to be able to operate
the offense at a level that's going to allow the
other ten guys in the huddle to perform, you know,
And so can he do that? You know, is he is?
Is he going to be providing that for for his teammates? Like,
and I think that's the big that's the bigger thing.
And that's why I say it's up to him, you know, Like,
you know, his opportunity is can be dictated by how
he comes along in practice and what he looks like
(09:17):
in the coach's confidence to put him in there. Does
the organization want to get a look at him before
the end of the year, Sure, you know, they want
to get a look at all the guys at that
position so they can make a coherent decision on where
they're going at quarterbacks in twenty twenty six, whether they're
going to draft on or or trade or sign, trade
for or sign a veteran, like if you want to
have as much information as he possibly can on the
(09:39):
guys that you have already on your roster. But on
this on the flip side, you doors got to earn
that too, you know, unless unless somebody above the coach.
Coach steps in and says, says, you know, like we
have to take a look at him, Like I would
think that Chador.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Is going to have to earn that in practice and
we'll see if he can.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Speaking of quarterbacks that are are good, ab you got
Josh Allen and you got Jalen Hurts. These are quarterbacks
of the two remaining unbeaten teams. I saw your article, Uh,
you know your thoughts on the Eagles, and I see
I tend to agree with you. The old school way
(10:21):
of playing football, the old school approach, the way the
coaches is old school. Everything is kind of old school
about the Eagles. But when you look at the Bills,
they kind of have that same type of approach as well.
Both quarterbacks have mobility. Maybe Josh Allen, maybe the better quarterback,
may have more mobility. But at the end of the day,
(10:43):
you're talking about a formula that kind of is working,
even though it might look ugly. What's your is the
Are the Eagles the best team in the NFL? Is
it is it the Bills that are the best? Say?
Either way, right, both teams are doing it pretty much the.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Right. I mean, like I would say the Eagles It's
interesting because I think the Eagles are and I think.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
This is like this doesn't sound like a compliment.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
There's the highest compliment I think is the Eagles are
the team that can beat you the most amount of ways,
you know what I mean, Like the Eagles can win
all types of games, which I think is what it
takes to win in the playoffs, because you're going to
run into teams that are going to be able to
take away what.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
You do well. You're going to run into different conditions, you.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Know, whether it's the snow, the cold, the wind, whatever
it is that can force you to play a certain style.
And you know, if they say styles win fights, like
the Eagles are capable of playing the most amount of styles,
you know, and so like and I think you saw it,
like at the end of that Rams game, you know,
when they were able to take away San Sake one barklay,
(11:46):
which not many teams can do that. But when the
when the Rams were able to take away take one
Barklay in the run game. I mean, in the second
half of.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
That game, it was the A. J.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Brown and DeVante Smith show, you know what I mean,
Like every critical spot they were going to those two
and you know, I sort of seem you know, I
think it's you know, I think it's smart to you
to parallel the Bills, because you know, the Bills. I
think you saw something closer to their ceiling in the opener.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
And now it's almost like they're.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Not taking the Ferrari out when it's.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Raining, you know what I mean. Like now it's like
we're going to keep the We're going to keep the Ferrari.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
In the garage because we don't need to. We don't
need to pull it out and get it scuffed up now,
you know. So like you know, like those.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Two teams because they're so good, because they're so.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
Versatile, you know, have an ability to play certain styles
and play all styles really and then manage their seasons
a certain way. So you know, like do the Bills
need to empty the clip to beat the Saints?
Speaker 7 (12:42):
Snow? So they didn't.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Empty the clip against the Saints, you know, and and
it might have looked a little tight there at the end,
but they were able to step on their throat at
the end and.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Win, you know.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
And same with the Eagles, Like do the Eagles need Aj.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Brown and Devontae Smith to combine for you know, fifteen
catches every week. No, so like you know they're gonna
you know that they can save that tread on those
guys tires, and they can win different ways, and you know,
you continue to develop different ways to win games.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
And I think it serves you well in January.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
And you know, I don't think, I don't think. I
don't think any of.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Us would be We'll be.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Speaking out of school to say those two teams are
probably not only are they ndefeated now, they're probably going
to be there at the end too.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB,
joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. What are the
Bengals do? Because I think the thought was, well, Jake Browning,
although obviously a step down from Joe Burrow, at least
a couple of years ago, we saw some glimpses that
they can operate or at least stay afloat until potentially
(13:46):
Burrow comes back.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Later in the year.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
They look awful, and I know Zach Taylor came out
yesterday and said, I have all the faith in the
world in Jake, but are there options outside of him
that would make sense for them at this point?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
If they wanted to me to compete.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Here's the way, here's the way I've kind of come
to look at this like I you know, I when
I when I first started covering the league, I was
in the Patriots feet.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
As you guys know, and so I was that was
in the.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Middle of the Brady Manning rivalry, and it felt like
those two franchises were gonna win forever, right, and then,
like you know, the Colts bottom out just the right time.
They wind up with Andrew Lock so their their their
run gets extended a little bit. And then when Luck retires,
like the whole thing kind of went to It was
like like year and a year, like how are you
(14:34):
talk taping this thing together? And then the Patriots lose
Brady and they completely collapse, and you know, it just
sort of like for me at least, it kind of
you know, gave me the lesson that like every opportunity
you have with a quarterback like this to go into
the into the playoffs of the quarterback like this is gold,
so you need to take advantage of it. I relate
(14:54):
that to the Bengals because I think, yeah, I think
the time has come for them to look in the
mirror a little bit and say, do we really think
like we can get to seven wins by the time
Joe Burrow gets back, which should be the middle of December, right,
do we really think that we can get there?
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Because if you don't, like I think, you owe.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
It to yourself to look for different answers at the position.
Maybe that's Kirk Cousins. And I think if you look
at it, like.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
If they were to trade for Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
At the you know, in a couple of weeks, I
think the number would be down around eighteen million dollars
for the rest of the year.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
For eighteen million dollars, and.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Let's call it like a fourth round pick, is that
worth it? A lot of people might say no, he's
only going to start whatever many games, But to have
the opportunity to go into the playoffs with Joe Burrow,
I would say it would be worth that investment. You know,
like if you think Kirk Cousins can come in and
get you to say seven and six when Joe Burrow
gets back, and then you're in the playoffs with Joe Burrow,
(15:51):
with a team that's developed different strengths now because Joe
Burrow was out, Like I would one say that's worth
the investment. I long way of saying, like, I think
they've got to be really honest with themselves now about
their ability to create a playoff opportunity for themselves when
Joe Burrow gets back.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
And if Jake Browning can't get them there.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
I think they owe it to themselves to at least
explore different ideas of how they can get there.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
I've got another one for you, The New York Giants.
Obviously Jackson Dart brings in some juice, gets them a win.
Why keep both russ and Jamis? You know, is there
not a team out there that would look at Jamis
or Brussel for that matter, and go, yeah, that would
help us right now?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
The beg Wills being one of.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Them, Yeah, I mean I think I think they.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
I think if you're the Giants are definitely open for business,
you know, like I You've now you're in on Jackson Dart.
Obviously there's no turning back there, and so as I'm
the Giants, I would absolutely explore it.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
You know.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Now, I think, like what I mentioned with Kirk Cousins
and Bengals.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
I think is a little bit of a unique fit,
you know, Zach Taylor worked for McVeigh in Los Angeles
and McVeigh was Kirk cousins offensive coordinator in Washington.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
So I think with Cousins going to Cincinnati, there would
be like an.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Opportunity to sort of hit the ground running there that
may not exist the exact same way with a Winston
or Wilson.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
But I would agree with you, like.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
I think, I think that the Giants will should and
will listen to any offers for either of those two guys.
I don't know if you want to get rid of
both of them, you know, because I think you certainly
want to have some insurance there, and you also, I
think you value what you've sort of built in the
quarterback room over the course of this year.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
And so having the support of a veteran.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Quarterback in there for your young quarterbacks good. But I
would I would definitely entertain the idea of.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Moving one or the other, you know, Abe, I listened
to all the conversations, listen to our questions just now,
and you know, looking at all the things that are
out there, it's interesting, like the different kind of comparisons,
Like Jerry Jones comes out and says, well, you know,
I didn't pay Michael Parsons because it wasn't really going
(18:04):
to improve us to the level that he wanted it
to improve us to. So a lot of people feel
as though Jerry made the right business decision by paying
Michael Parsons. But then I look at a team like
Cleveland who paid Miles Garrett and they're a one win team.
So Miles Garrett, who some would say, you know, most
would say, I guess outside of you know, if you're
(18:26):
on a debate Michael Parsons or maybe TJ Y whoever else,
that he's the best defender in the league and his
team is one in three. I just I just wonder,
when we're having these conversations, how how do we measure
engage when one is seems to be more relevant than
the other, Because I don't think that takes away from
(18:48):
the greatness of Miles Garrett that they're a one in
three team. You know, Cincinnati, they're losing as well. Trey
Hendrickson got which I mean, obviously what isn't an elite,
but he got a deal. I mean, how how should
we be looking at this because we do get a
direct comparison with the fact that, okay, you could use
(19:09):
the same exact reasoning with Miles Garrett. If we're looking.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
At it that way, right, yeah, I would say, well,
I would say yeah, Like I think like the trade
market for those two is going to come naturally, just
in that if if those teams are out of the
out of the race, like the Bengals and Browns don't
really need to do much.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
And there are separate.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Situations, right like where with Miles Garrett, you're talking about
taking on a big contract and he's a much better player,
but like you're talking about taking on a big contract
right like so and and you're going to have him
for a few years, so there's the risk, there's a
financial risk you're taking with how much money you're taking on,
but then you also have him signed for a few years,
versus with Trey Hendrickson, you're talking about a guy who
(19:56):
is also as expensive, not quite as expensive, and in
a contract here so you don't have him beyond this year.
So there's separate situations. But I think that that that
sort of thing is going to happen naturally. And you know,
I think if you're a contending team, that would be
one thing that you would circle and you would look
at that, and you would say, okay, like what can
we go out and do? And you know, again maybe
(20:19):
it's something I think we talked about Detroit, right, Like
Detroit would be an interesting one for one.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
Of those guys.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
I would like, you know, now Detroit still got paid Hutchinson.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
So you know there's that question too.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
But like if you're if you're the Lions, and again
like you look at it like we're right back in
it and we need some we need to put somebody
opposit Aiden Hutchinson. And last year they did that was
a Darius Smith. You know that that would be a
team that might make that call. Could the Eagles make
that call? I know the Eagles had inquired a Mile
Scaret in the past. So I think these sorts of
(20:51):
things will happen naturally. And you know it's on those
teams then, to test the appetite of the Browns and
Bengals to trade those guys. That that again is assuming
that by the time we get to Halloween right around
there when the trade deadline believe is November fourth, that
those teams are out of any realistic playoff contention.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
All right, Albert Breer, before I let you go, you
know I'm just curious, do you believe that this Saturday,
by the time the game is over between Ohio State
and Minnesota, that the buck Eys will have won.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
By more than twenty three and a half points.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
You want to talk about not taking the ferrari out
of the garage right Like, I think the Ohio State
Buckeyes right now are like the ultimate example of that,
like where they're able to just choke teams out and
they haven't really.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
Taken the ferrari out of the garage yet. I think
this week maybe you starting to see them put a
little bit more like, let.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
You know, kind of like loosen the rains a little
bit on Julian saying, I'll say they cover Let's say
this one's like thirty one to seven, maybe so they
just cover that spread a little bit.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
Do you uh, do you have some concerns about their
you know, limited ability attacking down the field.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I think he's only.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Thrown like fifteen balls twenty yards or more downfield.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I don't know, like I'm not so it can be
intentional in two ways.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Though.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
It could be intentional because they don't feel like they
need to. It can be intentional because they don't feel
like that's Julian's strength, which is a terrible pairing then
with the wide receivers that they have, or it could
be you know, just a byproduct.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Yeah, but they went downfield. I mean, like if you
watch the game against Sou, like album went downfield.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
Albert, Albert. This is not an opinion. He's thrown fifteen
balls that have gone over twenty yards downfield, right, Like
that's that's me looking at a passing map telling you
I'm not This isn't an opinion.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
This is me telling you I think you've.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Seen the ability to do it, right, don't you.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, I think he does.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
And that's why, like I'm kind of looking at it and
going all right, like what's what's going on here?
Speaker 7 (22:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:56):
I mean I think I I think like you look
at the circumstances of the last of the big games
of course against Texas and Washington, I think there were
reasons why you were being careful there, and you want
to win those games on defense. You saw a little
bit more testing of that, you know, against scrambling and
and and Ou. And I think here's where this is
where like you're probably looking at, Okay, this stretch, maybe
(23:17):
you want to grow a little bit more with the
downfield passing game, but the defense is.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
So good right now, I don't know. I mean, is
there a better player in the country than R. L. Reece.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
He's a stud physically, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
I saw a clip of him standing up a left
tackle like the one the ground.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I was like, my god, I mean.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
It looked like I mean, that looked like you know,
Bane from Batman, Like that looks like I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, I was like, anyway, that could be the that
could be the name you threw out. There is most dominic.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
Ruben Bane from from Miami, right.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Yeah, I'm excited to see him against Florida State this weekend.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
For sure. I was raised in it.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Abe.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
We appreciate you guys by the way that you guys
got to look at the Jordan a lot of like,
have you guys seen that His band impression is unbelievable.
I'll send it to Brady. But there's a play where
he said god it was more of the lines from Batman.
I'll send it to I'll find Yeah, I see.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I saying it. I'm saying that I know what you're talking.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Sounds like Dane like he's miked up. He sounds like Dane.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, I mean, what accombination for that guy?
Speaker 7 (24:27):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (26:19):
Two Pros and a Couple of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
With you hair comeing up? Oh boy, what a bad
song coming up?
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Fifteen minutes from now, we are going to have another
edition of the Leftovers that will be yours here on FSR.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Let's talk about infusions, if you will.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
There was a report that came out yesterday that the
Big Ten is in discussions about a private capital deal
that would infuse at least two billion dollars into the
conference and at schools. Listen, this is where you just
turn it over. This is where you turn it over
to the one and the only break t Quinn to
try and explain what the hell this means, I'm moq
(27:04):
other than two billion dollars for the Big Ten as
they continue. It would include a ten year extension of
the Big Ten's grant of rights, so it would take
them all the way up to two thousand and forty six.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
So, mister Big Ten, what do we say here?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Buddy? I got more questions that I know answers for you.
I mean, I think the obvious is that.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
There is a thought that these athletic departments at various
universities are struggling because they now have to shell out
twenty and a half million as what was part of
their revenue from the TV contracts with the student athletes.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
They've got to share that per the House INCAA settlement.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
So there is a portion of schools who you know,
the budgets are probably tighter than you think in regards
to a lot of the schools. And in the Big
Ten alone, there's eighteen schools. Four were operating in the red,
so there's four who are not making a profit. Now
that's not high percentage of that conference, and you could
probably figure out which four schools those were, but the
(28:07):
general point is that you know, if they were making
ten twenty million, that's that's gone.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Now they've got to find other ways to do so.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
The existence of collectives has also tacked into their ability
to fundraise privately from donors, so they're looking for other
sources of capital. Now what's interesting about this is the
extension of the grant of rights and the timing of this.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
So, like my first question is.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
The two billion is obviously tied to the extension of
keeping all these schools together, as you would imagine, because
if you're a company that's investing into the Big Ten,
you're saying, we feel like, you know, we can help
you continue to grow and generate more revenue, and lieu
of that, we're going to make back xtra percentage on
(28:57):
our investment.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Right, we're gonna get that.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
That's our return on our invest But I also wonder
if there was a thought that maybe there are some
teams that want to break off, or maybe there is
the potential for things to break up even more, and
this at least in some way keeps them together, makes
their some sort of penalty, I assume, for if a
school wants to leave, but at the same time accomplishes
(29:20):
the goal of any athletic departments of the Big Ten
that we're concerned about being able to stay afloat, support
their Olympic sports, support their women's sports, or whatever you
want to point to that struggling. They've got the capital
do so now. So it's interesting from that standpoint. I
kind of look at it though, and just wonder, like,
how is this really possible? I mean, you look at
(29:42):
some of these like the NFL, for example, the league
agreed to, you know, private equity companies be able to
buy up to ten percent of individual organizations.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
So that's individually, how it's done.
Speaker 8 (29:56):
Collectively as a group, the Big Ten has agreed to
the this to take on this capital, So I'm curious, like,
is it evenly distributed.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
There's been there's been talks of certain.
Speaker 8 (30:08):
Brands that generate more revenue getting a pro rat of
share of what you know, TV revenue would be coming in,
for example, or even private Equiti revenue coming in.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Like, is it a fairfoll Ohio State to take the
same cut as Rutgers.
Speaker 8 (30:21):
I mean, I think we all want things to be
like equitable, But the reality is Ohio State really carries
the entire conference along with Michigan, Penn State, you know,
and some other big brands. But they're the most valued
sports program in the country. So again I've got more
questions about it than answers. I think it's a good thing,
(30:41):
though you don't you know, hear this coming out of
the SEC and not saying that they won't make this
move eventually as well.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
But if you look at who generates the most money.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
From the TV revenue, if you look at who's won
the last two national championships, which programs are are competing
and putting themselves up at the top at least of
college foot law as an indication, the Big ten has
more money and it's surpassing the SEC right now. And
we understand that if you're a better funded it leads
to better results and that's what we're saying right now.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
In college football, I would I would, first of all,
and group licensing situations. I guess if that would be
a fair comparison Q. I don't know, but maybe if
you're looking at it from a group licensing type of deal,
the lower tier guys don't make as much as the
top tier guys, and I would probably think that looking
(31:35):
at who's the drivers, like, Okay, come be in our conference.
We're going to drive it. You're going to make more money.
You're just not going to make more money than us.
If I'm Ohio State, or if I'm Oregon, if I'm
Penn State or Michigan, I would most likely want to
(31:55):
make the lion share based off of what we're bringing
to the tape. But with that being said, I also
would want the Big Ten to remain the most competitive,
strongest conference. And if you're looking at it maybe from
a long run, long game type of approach, right then
maybe you do give maybe you do make it more
(32:17):
of an even share. And the idea and that I
guess the spirit of if the more resources these other
teams have, it's going to make it harder for you
to be able to beat them, moving into the future,
but it also makes it competitive and creates parody. So
I just wonder who's making the decisions. Right, If it's
(32:38):
the Big Ten, I'm saying, let's try to even Let's
do it evenly so that we can make all our
teams very competitive. If I'm a coach or if I'm
the University of them themselves, I would probably be leaning
more towards I want to make the Lions share because
this is what we have, this is what we bring
to the table. They're the group, we're the lead singer.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
That would be how I would look at it, though
I'm not sure, but I mean seems to make sense.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
I think what's really interesting about all this is have
you guys seen an the commercials by Cody Campbell. He's
the billionaire that's been helping to fund Texas Tech, who
for those who don't know, he invested a ton of
money this offseason. Basically their entire basically their entire defensive
line is all new. They're all transfer portal players, Romelo Heights,
David Bailey, a couple of the inside players as well,
(33:27):
all very very good. I mean, they have in one
year completely turned around their defense and in part because
the front and some of the other players he's brought
into the transfer portal. But he has been advocating for
a change in the Sports Broadcasting Act. And look, there's
varying opinions on this, and I had a chance to
talk to him just for a few moments. We really
didn't get into the weeds on anything. But there's contrasting
(33:51):
thoughts where he's pushing for a change and really lobbying
the federal government for a change in the Sports Broadcasting
Agreement because he thinks that a lot of these athletic
departments are going to go defunct because of the rev
share from the House NCAA settlement.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Now, again, how much of that is legitimately true, I
don't know.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
I mean, I look at all this and just say,
most people, if they're publicly, you know, advocating for something,
they've got some sort of skin in the game.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
You know, there's some reason that they're pushing for this.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
And in this case, if you want to change the
Sports Broadcast Sports Broadcasting Act, what it would do would
essentially be it would take it away from the conferences
negotiating with TV networks, and it would be the entire
pool of teams that you would be negotiating with through
the TV rights, which I mean one would be cumbersome.
It would create obviously greater access, you could get more
(34:43):
you know, streaming service and so forth plugged into all this,
but it would be very, very difficult to manage. It
would probably raise the price and the cost of a
lot of those media rights which would get pass along
to the consumer to you. But again this is quote
unquote in an effort to you know, help these schools
(35:05):
increase their revenue to offset for what for their labor,
which is the student athletes now because they have to
pay them.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
So again, we don't have time for it.
Speaker 8 (35:12):
It's a long winded conversation, but this is this news
is coming at a really really interesting time because it
almost throws right back in the.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Face of what Cody Campbell's saying.
Speaker 8 (35:22):
Is that you know that they need to change the
Sports Broadcast Casting Act, which I don't know that many
people want to go back before that period of time,
not only one because it was harder to watch games
back then, but two, you know, it almost caps if
you think about it, like what some of these players
could be paid because some of the schools aren't going
to make out as well, like Rutgers is able to
(35:44):
compete in somewhat of a competitive manner because they are
getting a piece of what the TV meter ats deal
is from the Big Ten. If you take that away,
they're probably not getting as big as a piece. So
those players are going to make as much, they'll be
greater disparity. There's a lot of like cause and effect
for what could happen if they do, indeed try to appear.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Or chase the Sports Broadcasting Act.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
You know what would make this conversation better? What throwing
a little hot sauce on it, especially if it's original
Louisiana hot sauce. By the way, because this is a
hot and spicy topic, what better than to do a hot,
spicy edition of some hot sauce that has the perfect
(36:28):
balance of Pepper's, vinegar and salt. Not only this topic,
but you could put it on your wings, your nachos,
your burgers, even Jonas's clam chowder. That's right, hit any
Tailgate food, you can hit any food you want, that bold,
handcrafted flavor of the original Louisiana hot sauce that's Louisiana hot.
(36:49):
You gonna want to use it.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
So you need to buy you some.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
