Speaker 3 (00:13):
Hey, welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Oh, how are you? What's going on? How's your day?
This is the Doug Gottlieb Show. It's Fox Sports Radio,
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
He's the proprietor of the K four ratings dot Com index. Right,
you can also find it on social media as well.
He's Kelly Ford. He joins us now as we get
you ready for a huge they're all huge college football weekend.
And Kelly's predictive analysis. It doesn't just give you you
know who's gonna win who's it's again more in terms
(00:54):
of ratios, and a lot of it is also watchability. So, Kelly,
what's the most watchable game this week?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Yeah, Doug, there's this weekend that I've got my eyes
on in the SCC, of course, a lot of big games,
a lot of playoff contenders, maybe some elimination games. Oklahoma
at Tennessee is a game that I think is going
to be very good and scores very highly on the
Watchability score chart. From zero to ten. And then Vanderbilt
at Texas. That's another one. You know, Vanderbilt one of
(01:22):
the surprise teams of the season in the positive direction.
Texas may be a surprise team for many and the negative.
So those are two games that certainly out of the SCC,
I think are very intriguing and will go a long
way and determining, you know, with how many in which
SEC teams find themselves in the playoff at the end
of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, let's let's get to Oklahoma and Tennessee. Vegas thinks
Tennessee is a three point favorite. Vegas thinks it's fairly
high scoring game fifty five is it's not crazy, but
fifty five is the total is What does your predictive
analysis think?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Yeah, I think that's that's just about right, Doug, and
I would lean Tennessee ever slightly. There's not a lot
of value in that line. Based on my model, I
have a sixty one percent win expectancy for the balls
in this one. And yeah, I mean high scoring is
right because you look at the Tennessee offense and they're
number three on that side of the ball in my model.
(02:17):
But the Oklahoma defense is top five as well, So
this is a very intriguing kind of strength on strength
matchup for me, Doug. If you look at the other side,
it's very similar again. Oklahoma number thirty nine on offense,
Tennessee number forty three on defense. The difference in this
game for me is essentially the home field advantage. I mean,
the fact that it's in Knoxville is just about what
(02:38):
we've gotten the difference here. You look at how these
teams are playing coming into this game. Tennessee was upgraded
slightly by the model after a win on the road
to Kentucky last week. Oklahoma was downgraded following their home
loss to Ole Miss. So maybe trending in slightly opposite
directions based on the most recent result we just saw.
Both of these teams are off next week, so there's
(02:58):
no look ahead here. Each have two losses already. I
think the loser of this game can can probably say
we do not have a chance to make the Conggwall playoff.
We saw nine and three teams from the SEC left
out a year ago, so both of these teams know
to keep their playoff hopes alive, they've got to get
this one. Oklahoma has the more daunting task moving forward
with their remaining schedule. So Tennessee, you get this one.
(03:19):
You feel pretty good about your chances here down the
stretch in November.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Okay, Vanderbilt, you mentioned how they're one of the surprise
teams of the SEC with Diego Pavias as their quarterback.
They beat Missouri at home, they've you know, their road
winds are Virginia Tech and South Carolina lost to Alabama
on the road. Now they go to Texas and tick
on the Horns and look, I'd agree with you that
(03:44):
they struggled at Kentucky and had to have another huge comeback.
Two straight overtime wins, this one at Mississippi State. But
everyone's different when they come back home. They haven't played
at home since Sam Houston. Right, what do you think
of Texas or was the computer think of Texas on Vanny?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Yeah, the model has Texas by by just more than
one touchdown in this game. It's just barely a multi
score spread for me. Seventy two percent win expectancy for
the Longhorns. You mentioned it, two straight overtime wins, and
the model has not looked kindly upon Texas for that.
It's that longers have been downgraded nearly three points in
the last two weeks. That's number one hundred and twenty
(04:22):
four out of one hundred and thirty six FBS team.
So the last two weeks have not been good, but
it's the still a very talented team, in particular on
the defensive side of the ball, and that's going to
be important here. It's the top five unit for the
Texas defense because the Vanderbilt offense, led by Diego Pavia,
is a top ten unit on that side. So I
do think Texas or the model has Texas as a
slightly more talented team and it is a strength on
(04:45):
strength with that Texas v and the Vanderbilt Oh but
again it's in Austin. You do expect Texas to start
turning things around. With regard to their performances. They look
great back in Week seven at the Red River Shootout
against Oklahoma. Haven't looked as good since, but they've continued
to pick up wins. Vanderbilt, for me, is one of
the best stories of the season. Nobody has more wins
(05:06):
relative to expectation through this stage of the season than
the Commodores, and they're also top ten in terms of
upgrades in the Model since the preseason. Right now, the
model vieus Vanderbilt as ten points better than they did
than the Model did in the preseason, so this is
very intriguing. Of course, Vanderbilt only has the one loss
so far, so they can afford to lose this game
(05:26):
and keep their college football playoff hopes alive, which is
crazy to say about a Vanderbilt team in November. Texas
knows that a third loss. Again, we thought last year Alabama,
South Carolina, Ole Miss, all these really good and talented
at SDC teams that third loss is what kept them out.
So Texas knows they've got to get this one, especially
when you consider in two weeks, Doug they go on
(05:47):
the road and play the Bulldogs and Aspens Georgia.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
No question about it.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I have to win this game, especially being played at
home against Vanderbilt. Who who would have thought? I do
have one more sec one you talked about Jorde. They're
taking on Florida. It is the cocktail party. I'm actually
surprised though that the considering the coaching change, Florida is
only a seven and a half point dog. What's the
model say?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I think that's about it. Does I've got the model.
The model has Georgia as just more than a seven
and a half one favorite. There's a seventy seven percent
win expectancy, so it would lean with the dogs here
against the spread. Both of these teams were off last week,
as they always are coming into this cocktail party. But
so if you look at the you know, how did
they play the week prior to that, Georgia of course
to come back win at home against Old miss You
(06:31):
look at Florida hanging on there and beating Mississippi State
in the swamp. So not a lot separate these two
in terms of their current form. If you look at
the season as a whole, of course, Florida has been,
you know, a little bit worse than the model expected
coming into this year, but there's still a talented team,
still top twenty five in the predicted model, a top
twenty five defense. It's the offense that has not been
(06:52):
good enough. But the Georgia defense this year is not
what we've become accustomed to under Kirby Smart. That is,
the weaker of the two units that athens, so Georgia
the top ten power of the team with the top
fifteen offense, the defense is merely top twenty five by
most program standards, that would be pretty good, not by
the Georgia standard of recent years. So both of these
teams have underachieved a little bit to this point of
(07:13):
the season. But Georgia still has just a one in
the lost column. Dougner the seventy four percent chance that
the Dogs get to ten or more regular season wins,
that should certainly be enough to put them in that
conversation and into the collegewall playoff. You would think, so
this is an important game. I don't think the Dogs
are going to be looking ahead here. They go on
the road to Mississippi State next week before Texas comes
(07:33):
to town as I mentioned before, and then don't sleep
on the end that final game of the regular season
for Georgia too. It's the Friday game at Georgia Tech.
We remember the eight overtime thriller a year ago. Georgia
Tech undefeated this year, so Georgia still has some in
front of them. But I don't think they're going to
overlook Florida. It's a massive rivalry and I expect Kirby
Smart to have them ready to.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Play still life for sc and maybe maybe Nebraska, maybe
because they got Iowa at the end of the year,
maybe still life for the College Fwall playoff, and Matt
Rules just signed extension, so he's not leaving. Nebraska is
a six and a half point dog out at home
against SC totals fifty eight and a half.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
What's the model saying?
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, the model has this right around there. Again, we're
very close to Vegas this week. On all of these
big games, I have USC with a sixty nine percent
win expectancy. In this game, USC still by my model,
has the number one offense in the entire country. Again,
this has become a staple under Lincoln Riley, whether that
is at Oklahoma or USC. You expect Heisman Trophy winners,
(08:35):
you expect explosive offenses, and this year is no different.
The defense is better than we've seen under Lincoln Riley
in the past that either stop their number fifty four
on that side of the ball. Nebraska is more balanced,
but not quite to either extreme there. It's the defense
for Nebraska that I like, but certainly would think that
the USC offense, even going on the road in this game,
(08:56):
is going to have too much firepower. So I do
like USC to this one. I got an eleven percent
chance that USC gets to ten regular season wins. You
would think at ten and two Big Ten team that
should be good enough for a spot in the Coas
Football Playoff. And then for Nebraska there's a three percent
chance that the Huskers win out. So it's an uphill
battle certainly for each of them to get to the
(09:17):
playoff at this stage. But I like USC's positioning and
I like them in this game as well. Again, behind
this offense, I'm just not sure Nebraska is gonna be
able to score enough points to keep up.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
All right, let's go to the Big twelve. Cincinnati is
a team that I don't know how much people pay
attention to obviouls say, lost early heartbreak kerch to Nebraska,
that's going back to August. Since then, they've they've run
the table right, wins over Iowa State, granted at home,
close win against Kansas on the road, just be Baylor
forty one to twenty. Now they travel to Utah and
(09:49):
the Utes were a team that I think everybody was
all in on trying to make the College ball playoff.
Tech beat them at home and then they lost that
thriller to BYU. What does the model say about this
huge game where Utah again, Vegas thinks Utah is a
ten point favorite.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Is does the model agree with that? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
And Uyu and Texas Tech. Right now, the model views
those two teams as the most likely to make it
to Arlington. But we have to keep in mind they
play each other, not this weekend, but next. And so
you look at number three and number four and I
projected Big twelve standings and you get these two teams,
Cincinnati and Utah, and yes, the Model is in alignment
with Vegas once again. Here it's an eighty two percent
(10:28):
win expectancy for the youth. You know, Rice Ecles, that's
a really tough place to play. I know Texas TEK
went in there in week four and got a pretty
resounding win, and that surprised a lot of people, including
myself and the Model. But you saw from a power
rating standpoint, this team is much better than their record
of six and two would indicate their top ten in
the model. The number eight defense, the number twenty offense
(10:49):
special teams has been not what we expect out of Utah.
It's been pretty disappointing this year. And you put that
around to Cincinnati. That might be the best part about
the bearcatt units is their offer or this US is
their teams. They are top ten in that phase of
the game by my model. I love this offense though
from Cincinnati. Their top fifteen, and you're right, they are
not getting a lot of notoriety or respect, I would say,
(11:11):
in the polls or from the national media the talking heads.
I have Cincinnati number eighteen in my most deserving rankings
this week, and certainly a win on the road at
Utah would catapul them way up. I mean, I think
they'd be in the top ten of my resume based
metric if they go on the road and get this
win here. But the model is not expecting that Cincinnati's
got a twenty percent chance to finish with at least
(11:32):
ten regular season wins. Utah, even though they already have
two losses, has a forty three percent chance to reach
that bench mark. I think ten and two is what
you're going to need to be out of the big
twelve to put yourself in that at large conversation. And
who knows how the race for Arlington shakes out for
these two. But yet I like you Thaw in this game.
I think the defense is really solid, and the fact
that they're playing in Salt Lake. Could be could be
(11:54):
the difference there? The youth much better than their six
and two record would indicate, at least from the model perspective.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Kelly, you're the best man. Really appreciate joining us. Thanks
for being our guesst the Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Thank you, Doug. I appreciate it well, talk you too.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
App Let's Get to the Fox Says, and now.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Every day at this time in the Buddus Podcast, play
for your previous portion of Fox Sports Radio Fox Sports
One Show. Uh we call it what does the Fox Say?
Here's Colin Cowhert talk about the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I've seen great golfers collapse in majors. I've seen great
hitters in a world series go belly up. I saw
Lebron freeze literally freeze against Dallas in the NBA Finals.
Lebron James. So, I mean Rory McElroy is shooting one
over Sunday at the Masters, two bogie's in a double. Uh,
that's not because he forgot how to golf. I think
(12:51):
that a little bit of this is the Dodgers came
in as a favorite, and there is there is so
much media now, there are so many blat forms, you
can't avoid it. So the Dodgers are obviously sitting around
waiting for the game, seeing stuff, and I think a
bit of it's in their head. Never forget this. The
Dodgers over under was one hundred and three in Vegas.
(13:11):
We looked up this morning that Jays was seventy eight
and a half. So one team is coming into this
World Series seventy eight and a half wins. I think
a lot of what the Dodgers are facing to hit
this poorly. A guy that was in single lay to
start the season, I mean, looks like Verlander in his
(13:32):
prime against you. I'm not saying the kid's not excellent,
He's not Verlander in his prime. Some of this is
it in the Dodger's head.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I don't think there's any question that pressure bust pipes,
and that you know the top four. You can toggle
the lineup all you want, but when you're you know,
one of fifteen yesterday with your top four hitters, you
got no shot, you know, and their pitching spin outstanding.
But this if you've watched the Dodgers all season long,
(14:04):
I'm not gonna sit here and tell you I have
Jason Stewart has. He's told you, and the numbers told you.
This is actually more of who they've been. They've gone
through these droughts before. The other part to it, and
we I saw Freddy Freeman said this last night, is
they have been in this position. You go back to
last year against the San Diego Padres where their backers
(14:25):
are against the wall and they produced.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Now they're gonna have to on the road.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Here's Dana want to I want to interrupt, Doug, go ahead.
I just need a reminder. So cow heard before the
postseason said that he's got the Mariners and the Brewers
in the World Series. Then when it came to the
World Series, they said he had the Dodgers and six.
And then after Game three he said this about the
(14:49):
Blue Jays.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
You lose on the road in eighteen and exhaust your bullpen.
I just it felt backbreaking to me when Freddy Freeman
hit that thing out. It felt bad breaking. I don't
know if the Blue Jays have anything left.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It's funny, very funny.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, I mean, again, this is the issue with listening
to Colin is that he will contradict himself from day
to day, sometimes segment to segment. But I also think
you're doing that thing that hockey fan does where you're like,
you never talk about our sport, then when you do
talk about our sport, you don't talk about our sport perfectly.
That that would be that would be my that would
(15:33):
be my only pushback.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
I mean it just it goes against all my broadcast
sensibilities that you predict things every day and then when
you're here's the thing. It's like when you do prediction radio.
You could do that if you think that works, but
then nobody holds you accountable. So I feel the need
in my capacity to hold somebody accountable. If you're going
(15:56):
to do predictions.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's that's totally holding them accountables is completely into totally fair.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I just think it's funny. I mean, we could do it.
We should.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
We should have this a running We could have this
as a running gig and and people would enjoy it.
And again, you and I who both think Colin's awesome,
and one of the things that's collins us about is
he can have a bad take, and he doesn't dwell
on it. He just moves on to the next one,
sometimes contradicting the first one. Here's Dan Patrick talking about
Blad Guerrero's Lad Junior's postseason.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
World Series MVP Blad Guerrero. You know, Vlad signed that contract,
and people at the time wondered, was he giving the
Blue Jays a little bit of a discount? Now, I
think he signed a five hundred million dollar contract. But
let's say he was going to be ready for a
contract extension after this World Series. Now, all of a sudden,
(16:57):
he's probably saying, yeah, I kind of like that otanium,
you know, at least six hundred million dollars. But Vlad
Guerrero has been unbelievable, like these numbers are. He's got
twenty six twenty seven hits, second most in a single postseason,
although Randy A. Rose Aina had twenty nine hits in
(17:19):
that twenty twenty postseason in twenty games. But he's been incredible.
So one for three twenty seven hits, he's been walked
twelve times, got hit by a pitch. The only other
player in baseball history to reach base more times in
a single postseason, Barry bonds in two thousand and two.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
That is crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
It should be pointed out they play more games now
than they played back then, Right, we're talking about cross numbers.
But that's the thing, Like so much of the takeaway
is so negative, rightfully so on the Dodgers, and heck
even Showey he has the one game, but outside the
one game he doesn't hit. Some of it should be
spent paying attention to just how all some black girl
junior is I mean here in the same amount of
(18:04):
pressure in the same exact series he's been dominant. Here's
Brady Quinn talking about the Louisiana governor saying the next
coaching Howard LSU will not be made by the school's
athletic director.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
Was it Ronald Reagan and Eli who said, I'm the
nine to most terrifying words like I'm from the government,
I'm here to help, Like when.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Has that ever worked?
Speaker 8 (18:23):
Like he wants to get Trump involved, Like what what
are you talking about? Like this this is the sort
of like overreach from people who and we talked about
this with like NFL owners, like they didn't make their
money that way, and they start dipping into the football
realm and football minds like, no, no, Now, I'm a
part of the hiring process. Well, how's that worked out
(18:43):
for some of those guys. They hire the guy, they
fire him, They hire the guy, they fire him. I
mean they just go through this cycle over and over
and over again. Look, if he wants to discredit Scott Woodward,
like I get that, and it almost makes the case
that why is he still what a director? Lsu but
he's him getting involved in this is like going to
(19:06):
be a disaster and it it just it oozes of
just everyone trying to find a way to politically position themselves,
you know, for their own personal desires. Like he can
say whatever he wants, but this is about trying to
make him look good for the next time he's up
for reelection. That's usually how this works.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I don't think it has anything to do with Trump. Again,
that's either either Brady didn't hear this the SoundBite itself,
or cause it actually was not If you listen to
the can we can we play it? Actually hear Sam?
If you listen to the cut, it was actually sarcastic.
(19:49):
I would rather have Donald Trump picket, basically saying like
Donald Trump doesn't know fucking anything, and I'd still rather
have him picket then the actual sitting athletic director at LSU.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
And here's why.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
So it wasn't yeah so anyway, but yes he nails
the second part, which is, if you're not going to
have your ethletic director pick the football coach, what is
the ethnic director going to do?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
That's a great, great question. That's where the Fox is.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Say.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Let's find out who what is annoying? Jason Stewart.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And now it's your annoying.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
Hey, trey Ya Savitch pitched an incredible game against a
defeated cast of billion dollar players, and he was asked
this question after the game.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
At any point when you walk out the game starting,
do you ever allow yourself to think, Hey, they're fifty
two thousand people here, I'm pitching the show at Hoo Tani.
Seven months ago, I was pitching the three hundred fans
in front of me in Jupiter.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
Yeah, it's crazy world, Crazy world. Hollywood couldn't have made
it this good. So just being a part of this
I'm just very blessed.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
I guarantee Hollywood could do this script. I really do.
People need to remember that they did a movie about
a snail winning the Indianapolis five hundred. I think they
could do a movie about a kid who started the
season in a ball and then pitch really good against
a real shitty offense. So yeah, no, I just I
(21:51):
always take issue to, you know, people who invoke the
screenwriters in Hollywood and don't give them enough credit.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Your money.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Uh do you think how many of our podcast listeners
understand the sarcasm in your voice?
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Well, they should. I mean I I've gone to this,
uh the same content many times. They should be very
familiar with that. In fact, every time they see somebody
say that, I mean screenwriters, they'd get left out of
the room that I think that they should think of
this podcast. But so you are a coach and you've
seen this many times. I have an issue with my
(22:29):
bad guy.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh my bad.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Here's here's a in your situation and correct me if
I'm wrong with the technology about the technical stuff. Here
is if if your say, your say, your guard makes
a pass out of balance because he thought his teammate
was going to cut towards the sideline. His teammate cut
towards the basket. In that situation, when your guard says,
(22:53):
my bad, that is appropriate because he his gesture is
telling his teammate, and he's telling the coach, and he's
telling the fans and everyone on TV, my bad. It
wasn't his fault for making the wrong cut. That was
my bad. Like that's appropriate, that's accountable. That's a great situation.
Mookie Bets turns a routine double playground ball into a
(23:16):
barely force out last night. In other words, he took
a hard ground ball from Dante Bichette, who has a
broken knee. He goes, all he has got to do
is toss it to second. It's a double play, and
he throws it in the shitter. He just throws it
in the shitter. Tommy Edmund had to make a scoop
play to salvage one out, and Mookie Bets does the
chest my bad, My bad.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Man.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
It's like everybody in watching at home and everybody in
the stadium says, of course, it was your bad. Like
that's not the time to say my bad when everybody
knows it's your fault, So you don't you're not going
to take credit for being accountable in that one.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, no question. The my bad thing actually drives most
most coaches crazy, to be totally honest with you, just
absolutely completely nuts, right, completely and totally nuts because you're like,
of course it's your bad you know, my bad Yeah,
we know it's your bad, dude.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
So that's it my bad guy and Hollywood screen scriptwriter discouragement, ooh.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
My bad guy, my my bad guy. And and look,
this comes from the fact that we've we've all said, hey,
Mookie Bets changing the shortstop in you know, high pressured
playing for the Dodgers here major League Baseball. He's been great,
but shut the fuck up with the my bad stuff.
Everybody annoysed the ship out of everybody. When we know
(24:38):
it's your bad, do better, or don't make the mistake
to begin.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
With, Yeah, don't do it again again.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Why are we doing this.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Because we can, Doug, this is a special edition because
we can. It's a flashback. I said this on the
twentieth of October. And in the industry, we have a
term for this. When you do flashbacks, it's called harp
it up, Sammy. They've been doing this from the beginning
of Radio harp It Up, Sammy, he committed what I
(25:18):
would call a columnist malpractice cool after Game three of
the NLCS, the headline the Dodgers are going to be
the best postseason team ever. I cannot imagine a columnist
in Philly or Boston or New York writing that column
(25:41):
at that time. I think you owe it to you
to your readers, which are the Dodger fan base, and
you owe it to the team you're covering to not
jinx the fucking living shit out of your team. Write
this column afterwards, tell us why it was the greatest
postseason of all time. After the postseason, but this was cringey.
(26:04):
I don't know what's going on with Bill, but columnist
malpractice to jinx the team you're following and covering for
your fan base. I want to draw your attention to
a scene in the movie Bull Durham my favorite sports
movie of all time. Uh, crash Davis is giving advice
(26:24):
to Nuke LaRouche and then crash Davis asked him about
his romantic fling with Annie, who played by Susan Sarandon,
and it goes like.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
This, She's getting pretty steemed.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Actually, because I'm still rechanneling my sexual interview. I'm figuring
I'm just gonna cave in and sleep with her, you know,
to calm her down.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Are you out of your mind?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Are you out of your mind talking about one thing
you give in now you might start losing hum.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Never fuck with a winning street.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
So, especially in baseball, superstition is a kind of built
into the sport, into the game. Bill Poshki should know that,
and to quote Crash Davis.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Never fuck where there was a winning street.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Why can we play for you? Because we can. That's

This is the Doug Gottlieb Show. It's Fox Sports Radio,

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
He's the proprietor of the K four ratings dot Com index. Right,
you can also find it on social media as well.
He's Kelly Ford. He joins us now as we get
you ready for a huge they're all huge college football weekend.
And Kelly's predictive analysis. It doesn't just give you you
know who's gonna win who's it's again more in terms
(00:54):
of ratios, and a lot of it is also watchability. So, Kelly,
what's the most watchable game this week?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Yeah, Doug, there's this weekend that I've got my eyes
on in the SCC, of course, a lot of big games,
a lot of playoff contenders, maybe some elimination games. Oklahoma
at Tennessee is a game that I think is going
to be very good and scores very highly on the
Watchability score chart. From zero to ten. And then Vanderbilt
at Texas. That's another one. You know, Vanderbilt one of
(01:22):
the surprise teams of the season in the positive direction.
Texas may be a surprise team for many and the negative.
So those are two games that certainly out of the SCC,
I think are very intriguing and will go a long
way and determining, you know, with how many in which
SEC teams find themselves in the playoff at the end
of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, let's let's get to Oklahoma and Tennessee. Vegas thinks
Tennessee is a three point favorite. Vegas thinks it's fairly
high scoring game fifty five is it's not crazy, but
fifty five is the total is What does your predictive
analysis think?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Yeah, I think that's that's just about right, Doug, and
I would lean Tennessee ever slightly. There's not a lot
of value in that line. Based on my model, I
have a sixty one percent win expectancy for the balls
in this one. And yeah, I mean high scoring is
right because you look at the Tennessee offense and they're
number three on that side of the ball in my model.
(02:17):
But the Oklahoma defense is top five as well, So
this is a very intriguing kind of strength on strength
matchup for me, Doug. If you look at the other side,
it's very similar again. Oklahoma number thirty nine on offense,
Tennessee number forty three on defense. The difference in this
game for me is essentially the home field advantage. I mean,
the fact that it's in Knoxville is just about what
(02:38):
we've gotten the difference here. You look at how these
teams are playing coming into this game. Tennessee was upgraded
slightly by the model after a win on the road
to Kentucky last week. Oklahoma was downgraded following their home
loss to Ole Miss. So maybe trending in slightly opposite
directions based on the most recent result we just saw.
Both of these teams are off next week, so there's
(02:58):
no look ahead here. Each have two losses already. I
think the loser of this game can can probably say
we do not have a chance to make the Conggwall playoff.
We saw nine and three teams from the SEC left
out a year ago, so both of these teams know
to keep their playoff hopes alive, they've got to get
this one. Oklahoma has the more daunting task moving forward
with their remaining schedule. So Tennessee, you get this one.
(03:19):
You feel pretty good about your chances here down the
stretch in November.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Okay, Vanderbilt, you mentioned how they're one of the surprise
teams of the SEC with Diego Pavias as their quarterback.
They beat Missouri at home, they've you know, their road
winds are Virginia Tech and South Carolina lost to Alabama
on the road. Now they go to Texas and tick
on the Horns and look, I'd agree with you that
(03:44):
they struggled at Kentucky and had to have another huge comeback.
Two straight overtime wins, this one at Mississippi State. But
everyone's different when they come back home. They haven't played
at home since Sam Houston. Right, what do you think
of Texas or was the computer think of Texas on Vanny?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Yeah, the model has Texas by by just more than
one touchdown in this game. It's just barely a multi
score spread for me. Seventy two percent win expectancy for
the Longhorns. You mentioned it, two straight overtime wins, and
the model has not looked kindly upon Texas for that.
It's that longers have been downgraded nearly three points in
the last two weeks. That's number one hundred and twenty
(04:22):
four out of one hundred and thirty six FBS team.
So the last two weeks have not been good, but
it's the still a very talented team, in particular on
the defensive side of the ball, and that's going to
be important here. It's the top five unit for the
Texas defense because the Vanderbilt offense, led by Diego Pavia,
is a top ten unit on that side. So I
do think Texas or the model has Texas as a
slightly more talented team and it is a strength on
(04:45):
strength with that Texas v and the Vanderbilt Oh but
again it's in Austin. You do expect Texas to start
turning things around. With regard to their performances. They look
great back in Week seven at the Red River Shootout
against Oklahoma. Haven't looked as good since, but they've continued
to pick up wins. Vanderbilt, for me, is one of
the best stories of the season. Nobody has more wins
(05:06):
relative to expectation through this stage of the season than
the Commodores, and they're also top ten in terms of
upgrades in the Model since the preseason. Right now, the
model vieus Vanderbilt as ten points better than they did
than the Model did in the preseason, so this is
very intriguing. Of course, Vanderbilt only has the one loss
so far, so they can afford to lose this game
(05:26):
and keep their college football playoff hopes alive, which is
crazy to say about a Vanderbilt team in November. Texas
knows that a third loss. Again, we thought last year Alabama,
South Carolina, Ole Miss, all these really good and talented
at SDC teams that third loss is what kept them out.
So Texas knows they've got to get this one, especially
when you consider in two weeks, Doug they go on
(05:47):
the road and play the Bulldogs and Aspens Georgia.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
No question about it.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I have to win this game, especially being played at
home against Vanderbilt. Who who would have thought? I do
have one more sec one you talked about Jorde. They're
taking on Florida. It is the cocktail party. I'm actually
surprised though that the considering the coaching change, Florida is
only a seven and a half point dog. What's the
model say?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I think that's about it. Does I've got the model.
The model has Georgia as just more than a seven
and a half one favorite. There's a seventy seven percent
win expectancy, so it would lean with the dogs here
against the spread. Both of these teams were off last week,
as they always are coming into this cocktail party. But
so if you look at the you know, how did
they play the week prior to that, Georgia of course
to come back win at home against Old miss You
(06:31):
look at Florida hanging on there and beating Mississippi State
in the swamp. So not a lot separate these two
in terms of their current form. If you look at
the season as a whole, of course, Florida has been,
you know, a little bit worse than the model expected
coming into this year, but there's still a talented team,
still top twenty five in the predicted model, a top
twenty five defense. It's the offense that has not been
(06:52):
good enough. But the Georgia defense this year is not
what we've become accustomed to under Kirby Smart. That is,
the weaker of the two units that athens, so Georgia
the top ten power of the team with the top
fifteen offense, the defense is merely top twenty five by
most program standards, that would be pretty good, not by
the Georgia standard of recent years. So both of these
teams have underachieved a little bit to this point of
(07:13):
the season. But Georgia still has just a one in
the lost column. Dougner the seventy four percent chance that
the Dogs get to ten or more regular season wins,
that should certainly be enough to put them in that
conversation and into the collegewall playoff. You would think, so
this is an important game. I don't think the Dogs
are going to be looking ahead here. They go on
the road to Mississippi State next week before Texas comes
(07:33):
to town as I mentioned before, and then don't sleep
on the end that final game of the regular season
for Georgia too. It's the Friday game at Georgia Tech.
We remember the eight overtime thriller a year ago. Georgia
Tech undefeated this year, so Georgia still has some in
front of them. But I don't think they're going to
overlook Florida. It's a massive rivalry and I expect Kirby
Smart to have them ready to.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Play still life for sc and maybe maybe Nebraska, maybe
because they got Iowa at the end of the year,
maybe still life for the College Fwall playoff, and Matt
Rules just signed extension, so he's not leaving. Nebraska is
a six and a half point dog out at home
against SC totals fifty eight and a half.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
What's the model saying?
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, the model has this right around there. Again, we're
very close to Vegas this week. On all of these
big games, I have USC with a sixty nine percent
win expectancy. In this game, USC still by my model,
has the number one offense in the entire country. Again,
this has become a staple under Lincoln Riley, whether that
is at Oklahoma or USC. You expect Heisman Trophy winners,
(08:35):
you expect explosive offenses, and this year is no different.
The defense is better than we've seen under Lincoln Riley
in the past that either stop their number fifty four
on that side of the ball. Nebraska is more balanced,
but not quite to either extreme there. It's the defense
for Nebraska that I like, but certainly would think that
the USC offense, even going on the road in this game,
(08:56):
is going to have too much firepower. So I do
like USC to this one. I got an eleven percent
chance that USC gets to ten regular season wins. You
would think at ten and two Big Ten team that
should be good enough for a spot in the Coas
Football Playoff. And then for Nebraska there's a three percent
chance that the Huskers win out. So it's an uphill
battle certainly for each of them to get to the
(09:17):
playoff at this stage. But I like USC's positioning and
I like them in this game as well. Again, behind
this offense, I'm just not sure Nebraska is gonna be
able to score enough points to keep up.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
All right, let's go to the Big twelve. Cincinnati is
a team that I don't know how much people pay
attention to obviouls say, lost early heartbreak kerch to Nebraska,
that's going back to August. Since then, they've they've run
the table right, wins over Iowa State, granted at home,
close win against Kansas on the road, just be Baylor
forty one to twenty. Now they travel to Utah and
(09:49):
the Utes were a team that I think everybody was
all in on trying to make the College ball playoff.
Tech beat them at home and then they lost that
thriller to BYU. What does the model say about this
huge game where Utah again, Vegas thinks Utah is a
ten point favorite.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Is does the model agree with that? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
And Uyu and Texas Tech. Right now, the model views
those two teams as the most likely to make it
to Arlington. But we have to keep in mind they
play each other, not this weekend, but next. And so
you look at number three and number four and I
projected Big twelve standings and you get these two teams,
Cincinnati and Utah, and yes, the Model is in alignment
with Vegas once again. Here it's an eighty two percent
(10:28):
win expectancy for the youth. You know, Rice Ecles, that's
a really tough place to play. I know Texas TEK
went in there in week four and got a pretty
resounding win, and that surprised a lot of people, including
myself and the Model. But you saw from a power
rating standpoint, this team is much better than their record
of six and two would indicate their top ten in
the model. The number eight defense, the number twenty offense
(10:49):
special teams has been not what we expect out of Utah.
It's been pretty disappointing this year. And you put that
around to Cincinnati. That might be the best part about
the bearcatt units is their offer or this US is
their teams. They are top ten in that phase of
the game by my model. I love this offense though
from Cincinnati. Their top fifteen, and you're right, they are
not getting a lot of notoriety or respect, I would say,
(11:11):
in the polls or from the national media the talking heads.
I have Cincinnati number eighteen in my most deserving rankings
this week, and certainly a win on the road at
Utah would catapul them way up. I mean, I think
they'd be in the top ten of my resume based
metric if they go on the road and get this
win here. But the model is not expecting that Cincinnati's
got a twenty percent chance to finish with at least
(11:32):
ten regular season wins. Utah, even though they already have
two losses, has a forty three percent chance to reach
that bench mark. I think ten and two is what
you're going to need to be out of the big
twelve to put yourself in that at large conversation. And
who knows how the race for Arlington shakes out for
these two. But yet I like you Thaw in this game.
I think the defense is really solid, and the fact
that they're playing in Salt Lake. Could be could be
(11:54):
the difference there? The youth much better than their six
and two record would indicate, at least from the model perspective.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Kelly, you're the best man. Really appreciate joining us. Thanks
for being our guesst the Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Thank you, Doug. I appreciate it well, talk you too.

Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox

Speaker 3 (12:13):
App Let's Get to the Fox Says, and now.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Every day at this time in the Buddus Podcast, play
for your previous portion of Fox Sports Radio Fox Sports
One Show. Uh we call it what does the Fox Say?
Here's Colin Cowhert talk about the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I've seen great golfers collapse in majors. I've seen great
hitters in a world series go belly up. I saw
Lebron freeze literally freeze against Dallas in the NBA Finals.
Lebron James. So, I mean Rory McElroy is shooting one
over Sunday at the Masters, two bogie's in a double. Uh,
that's not because he forgot how to golf. I think
(12:51):
that a little bit of this is the Dodgers came
in as a favorite, and there is there is so
much media now, there are so many blat forms, you
can't avoid it. So the Dodgers are obviously sitting around
waiting for the game, seeing stuff, and I think a
bit of it's in their head. Never forget this. The
Dodgers over under was one hundred and three in Vegas.
(13:11):
We looked up this morning that Jays was seventy eight
and a half. So one team is coming into this
World Series seventy eight and a half wins. I think
a lot of what the Dodgers are facing to hit
this poorly. A guy that was in single lay to
start the season, I mean, looks like Verlander in his
(13:32):
prime against you. I'm not saying the kid's not excellent,
He's not Verlander in his prime. Some of this is
it in the Dodger's head.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I don't think there's any question that pressure bust pipes,
and that you know the top four. You can toggle
the lineup all you want, but when you're you know,
one of fifteen yesterday with your top four hitters, you
got no shot, you know, and their pitching spin outstanding.
But this if you've watched the Dodgers all season long,
(14:04):
I'm not gonna sit here and tell you I have
Jason Stewart has. He's told you, and the numbers told you.
This is actually more of who they've been. They've gone
through these droughts before. The other part to it, and
we I saw Freddy Freeman said this last night, is
they have been in this position. You go back to
last year against the San Diego Padres where their backers
(14:25):
are against the wall and they produced.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Now they're gonna have to on the road.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Here's Dana want to I want to interrupt, Doug, go ahead.
I just need a reminder. So cow heard before the
postseason said that he's got the Mariners and the Brewers
in the World Series. Then when it came to the
World Series, they said he had the Dodgers and six.
And then after Game three he said this about the
(14:49):
Blue Jays.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
You lose on the road in eighteen and exhaust your bullpen.
I just it felt backbreaking to me when Freddy Freeman
hit that thing out. It felt bad breaking. I don't
know if the Blue Jays have anything left.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It's funny, very funny.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, I mean, again, this is the issue with listening
to Colin is that he will contradict himself from day
to day, sometimes segment to segment. But I also think
you're doing that thing that hockey fan does where you're like,
you never talk about our sport, then when you do
talk about our sport, you don't talk about our sport perfectly.
That that would be that would be my that would
(15:33):
be my only pushback.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
I mean it just it goes against all my broadcast
sensibilities that you predict things every day and then when
you're here's the thing. It's like when you do prediction radio.
You could do that if you think that works, but
then nobody holds you accountable. So I feel the need
in my capacity to hold somebody accountable. If you're going
(15:56):
to do predictions.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's that's totally holding them accountables is completely into totally fair.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I just think it's funny. I mean, we could do it.
We should.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
We should have this a running We could have this
as a running gig and and people would enjoy it.
And again, you and I who both think Colin's awesome,
and one of the things that's collins us about is
he can have a bad take, and he doesn't dwell
on it. He just moves on to the next one,
sometimes contradicting the first one. Here's Dan Patrick talking about
Blad Guerrero's Lad Junior's postseason.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
World Series MVP Blad Guerrero. You know, Vlad signed that contract,
and people at the time wondered, was he giving the
Blue Jays a little bit of a discount? Now, I
think he signed a five hundred million dollar contract. But
let's say he was going to be ready for a
contract extension after this World Series. Now, all of a sudden,
(16:57):
he's probably saying, yeah, I kind of like that otanium,
you know, at least six hundred million dollars. But Vlad
Guerrero has been unbelievable, like these numbers are. He's got
twenty six twenty seven hits, second most in a single postseason,
although Randy A. Rose Aina had twenty nine hits in
(17:19):
that twenty twenty postseason in twenty games. But he's been incredible.
So one for three twenty seven hits, he's been walked
twelve times, got hit by a pitch. The only other
player in baseball history to reach base more times in
a single postseason, Barry bonds in two thousand and two.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
That is crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
It should be pointed out they play more games now
than they played back then, Right, we're talking about cross numbers.
But that's the thing, Like so much of the takeaway
is so negative, rightfully so on the Dodgers, and heck
even Showey he has the one game, but outside the
one game he doesn't hit. Some of it should be
spent paying attention to just how all some black girl
junior is I mean here in the same amount of
(18:04):
pressure in the same exact series he's been dominant. Here's
Brady Quinn talking about the Louisiana governor saying the next
coaching Howard LSU will not be made by the school's
athletic director.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
Was it Ronald Reagan and Eli who said, I'm the
nine to most terrifying words like I'm from the government,
I'm here to help, Like when.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Has that ever worked?
Speaker 8 (18:23):
Like he wants to get Trump involved, Like what what
are you talking about? Like this this is the sort
of like overreach from people who and we talked about
this with like NFL owners, like they didn't make their
money that way, and they start dipping into the football
realm and football minds like, no, no, Now, I'm a
part of the hiring process. Well, how's that worked out
(18:43):
for some of those guys. They hire the guy, they
fire him, They hire the guy, they fire him. I
mean they just go through this cycle over and over
and over again. Look, if he wants to discredit Scott Woodward,
like I get that, and it almost makes the case
that why is he still what a director? Lsu but
he's him getting involved in this is like going to
(19:06):
be a disaster and it it just it oozes of
just everyone trying to find a way to politically position themselves,
you know, for their own personal desires. Like he can
say whatever he wants, but this is about trying to
make him look good for the next time he's up
for reelection. That's usually how this works.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I don't think it has anything to do with Trump. Again,
that's either either Brady didn't hear this the SoundBite itself,
or cause it actually was not If you listen to
the can we can we play it? Actually hear Sam?
If you listen to the cut, it was actually sarcastic.
(19:49):
I would rather have Donald Trump picket, basically saying like
Donald Trump doesn't know fucking anything, and I'd still rather
have him picket then the actual sitting athletic director at LSU.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
And here's why.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
So it wasn't yeah so anyway, but yes he nails
the second part, which is, if you're not going to
have your ethletic director pick the football coach, what is
the ethnic director going to do?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
That's a great, great question. That's where the Fox is.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Say.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Let's find out who what is annoying? Jason Stewart.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And now it's your annoying.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
Hey, trey Ya Savitch pitched an incredible game against a
defeated cast of billion dollar players, and he was asked
this question after the game.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
At any point when you walk out the game starting,
do you ever allow yourself to think, Hey, they're fifty
two thousand people here, I'm pitching the show at Hoo Tani.
Seven months ago, I was pitching the three hundred fans
in front of me in Jupiter.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
Yeah, it's crazy world, Crazy world. Hollywood couldn't have made
it this good. So just being a part of this
I'm just very blessed.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
I guarantee Hollywood could do this script. I really do.
People need to remember that they did a movie about
a snail winning the Indianapolis five hundred. I think they
could do a movie about a kid who started the
season in a ball and then pitch really good against
a real shitty offense. So yeah, no, I just I
(21:51):
always take issue to, you know, people who invoke the
screenwriters in Hollywood and don't give them enough credit.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Your money.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Uh do you think how many of our podcast listeners
understand the sarcasm in your voice?
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Well, they should. I mean I I've gone to this,
uh the same content many times. They should be very
familiar with that. In fact, every time they see somebody
say that, I mean screenwriters, they'd get left out of
the room that I think that they should think of
this podcast. But so you are a coach and you've
seen this many times. I have an issue with my
(22:29):
bad guy.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh my bad.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Here's here's a in your situation and correct me if
I'm wrong with the technology about the technical stuff. Here
is if if your say, your say, your guard makes
a pass out of balance because he thought his teammate
was going to cut towards the sideline. His teammate cut
towards the basket. In that situation, when your guard says,
(22:53):
my bad, that is appropriate because he his gesture is
telling his teammate, and he's telling the coach, and he's
telling the fans and everyone on TV, my bad. It
wasn't his fault for making the wrong cut. That was
my bad. Like that's appropriate, that's accountable. That's a great situation.
Mookie Bets turns a routine double playground ball into a
(23:16):
barely force out last night. In other words, he took
a hard ground ball from Dante Bichette, who has a
broken knee. He goes, all he has got to do
is toss it to second. It's a double play, and
he throws it in the shitter. He just throws it
in the shitter. Tommy Edmund had to make a scoop
play to salvage one out, and Mookie Bets does the
chest my bad, My bad.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Man.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
It's like everybody in watching at home and everybody in
the stadium says, of course, it was your bad. Like
that's not the time to say my bad when everybody
knows it's your fault, So you don't you're not going
to take credit for being accountable in that one.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, no question. The my bad thing actually drives most
most coaches crazy, to be totally honest with you, just
absolutely completely nuts, right, completely and totally nuts because you're like,
of course it's your bad you know, my bad Yeah,
we know it's your bad, dude.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
So that's it my bad guy and Hollywood screen scriptwriter discouragement, ooh.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
My bad guy, my my bad guy. And and look,
this comes from the fact that we've we've all said, hey,
Mookie Bets changing the shortstop in you know, high pressured
playing for the Dodgers here major League Baseball. He's been great,
but shut the fuck up with the my bad stuff.
Everybody annoysed the ship out of everybody. When we know
(24:38):
it's your bad, do better, or don't make the mistake
to begin.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
With, Yeah, don't do it again again.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Why are we doing this.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Because we can, Doug, this is a special edition because
we can. It's a flashback. I said this on the
twentieth of October. And in the industry, we have a
term for this. When you do flashbacks, it's called harp
it up, Sammy. They've been doing this from the beginning
of Radio harp It Up, Sammy, he committed what I
(25:18):
would call a columnist malpractice cool after Game three of
the NLCS, the headline the Dodgers are going to be
the best postseason team ever. I cannot imagine a columnist
in Philly or Boston or New York writing that column
(25:41):
at that time. I think you owe it to you
to your readers, which are the Dodger fan base, and
you owe it to the team you're covering to not
jinx the fucking living shit out of your team. Write
this column afterwards, tell us why it was the greatest
postseason of all time. After the postseason, but this was cringey.
(26:04):
I don't know what's going on with Bill, but columnist
malpractice to jinx the team you're following and covering for
your fan base. I want to draw your attention to
a scene in the movie Bull Durham my favorite sports
movie of all time. Uh, crash Davis is giving advice
(26:24):
to Nuke LaRouche and then crash Davis asked him about
his romantic fling with Annie, who played by Susan Sarandon,
and it goes like.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
This, She's getting pretty steemed.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Actually, because I'm still rechanneling my sexual interview. I'm figuring
I'm just gonna cave in and sleep with her, you know,
to calm her down.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Are you out of your mind?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Are you out of your mind talking about one thing
you give in now you might start losing hum.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Never fuck with a winning street.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
So, especially in baseball, superstition is a kind of built
into the sport, into the game. Bill Poshki should know that,
and to quote Crash Davis.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Never fuck where there was a winning street.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Why can we play for you? Because we can. That's
it for the end of the Bonus podcast. Check out the
