Speaker 2 (00:21):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
And Happy New Year to you and yours. It is
The Herd. Here on Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Jonas
Knox in for Colin. You can hear LeVar, myself and
Brady Quinn weekdays six am Eastern time, three o'clock Pacific.
Here on Fox Sports Radio, it's a show called Two
Pros and a Cup of Joe. Today, LeVar and I
are slanging it for three hours. As we are entering

(00:48):
the final hour of the program. Here there is a
college football playoff game that has currently taking place. Texas
is a fourteen to three lead over Arizona State twelve
minutes forty six seconds left to go. In the first half.
It started out with Arizona State up three to nothing,
and then Texas scored, and then Texas returned to punt

(01:11):
for a score, and now Texas is driving after just
picking up a pass interference call against the Sun Devil.
So if you are hoping for a close matchup in
one of these college football playoff games, this one's teetering
on the brink of looking like all the other ones
and not being very close at all, So we will
keep a closing on that. We've also now the New
Orleans Times pickyun is also reporting that the Sugar Bowl

(01:35):
is going to be postponed in New Orleans. No official
word as of yet, but there are two outlets. WDSA
in NBC or excuse me, WDSU, an NBC affiliate out
of New Orleans, they reported the Sugar bowls going to
be postponed following the tragedy last night in New Orleans.
And now we've got the New Orleans Times pickyun and

(01:56):
saying the same thing. So if we get confirmation on that,
we'll let you know. But it does appear like at
least it's heading in the right in that direction where
they're going to postpone the game until tomorrow. Now the
Rose Bowl is coming up later on.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Can I ask you a question? Yeah, before you do that.
If if so, the game gets postponed, the winner of
that game plays in the Orange Bowl.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah right, yep.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
The Orange Bowl is next Thursday.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
I'm double check that.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Is there any like, will there be any conversations in
terms of what would take place, what would take place
with you know, the scheduling of the game if that,
you know, if that indeed takes you know, if that happens,
I don't.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
I don't think anything would change because you'd still have
a week between games. If it plays tomorrow, you'd still
have Thursday to Thursday. I don't know that they would
change anything.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
I mean, is there the possibility, like I'm I'm I'm
looking at some some information right now and I'm not
sure how how real it is or or what, but
it could be. I mean, there there could be discussions
that the game is getting moved to possibly Houston and
being played on Friday. So if that were to happen,

(03:24):
then they would have to move the Orange Bowl back.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
I mean, I don't.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
I mean, I think that you don't think so, I.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Don't think they I think moving the game to Houston
does make some sense if you're concerned about the security issues.
But I think that those you know, whoever wins the
Sugar Bowl, if that's the case, they would just have
to play on short rest going into the to the
semi final against Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
I don't know, man, I don't I don't see that
being fair to to the team that advances, you know,
because I think I think it has to be a
conversation of it.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
The only way you would move a game is if
you absolutely had to, and I think that teams I.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Think this one would kind of qualify for that.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
I think I think the Sugar Bowl itself would qualify.
I don't think that they would let it impact the
following week. Maybe I'm wrong, but I couldn't see that
being the king.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
I gotta I gotta say, I believe that they would
have to move it back at least a day or
two at least. I mean, that's assuming sensibility and practicalities
of making sure that the matchup is what it's supposed
to be. That would that would have to be taken
into consideration. Yeah, looks as a as a penn stator.

(04:43):
I mean, have at it if they going, if they
if they're going to do it on at the same
amount of time, have at it. I mean that's that,
you know, that's kind of I feel like that's a
that's an advantage. That's that's an un to me. I
don't feel like that's a I just don't think that

(05:03):
you should have even being a Penn State, I don't
think you want to play against a team that doesn't
have enough rest time in between for for the next game.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, it's it's it's it's a tough spot because however, look,
if they decided they were going to play the game tonight,
there would be a pushback against it. If they pushed
it back to tomorrow, there would be some people that say, well,
why not just move it completely. If they moved it,
then it just it feels like they're kind of in
a tough spot no matter what. And obviously safety is

(05:34):
paramount when it comes.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
To all this. So they just went forward on fourth
down and got that that bad boy man. They have
no respect for Asus, you know.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
By the way, I would also remember when you were saying, uh,
Cowboy fans being obnoxious, Yes, Texas fans are kind of
up there as well too.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
I'll just that's Texas Texas.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
You know, they they're they're you know, they seem like
they're kind of in the same grouping, you know, with
with Cowboy fans.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
I don't know them, so I will not pass a judgment.
I'm not aware of the you know, the patterns of
how Texas fans handle things at the college level at Texas,
so I'll stay away from that. But Dallas fans, yeah,
they're they're all about like and I'll ask them on like,

(06:26):
name a street and in Dallas or in Fort Worth, name,
name a zip code, name, name an area code, and
more often than not, they can't do it. You're a
fan of a of a team. You don't know a
street name, you don't know a zip code, you don't
know area code, like get out of here.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, they'll say, oh the grassy Knoll. Yeah, stop, that's
not the Yeah, you got to venture out a little bit.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Well.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Look, I mean, at least Texas is doing their part.
They're winning games and they're they're in the planets. Dallas,
you're part of that.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Now.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
You were at you were at the Penn State Boise
State playoff game last night.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
There. Yes, yes, that's why. That's why I don't understand
why I'm doing radio with you today. If it were,
if if were, if you and Q were doing it, man,
I would not be in here doing this show. I'm
hurt so bad right now, man, what do you Penn
State win led to a whole lot of double mass

(07:26):
cows and pineapple last night, and it just it just
got over, It just got out of control.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
How many drinks you think you have last night? I
didn't count because you haven't been drinking that much lately,
no at.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
All, because I've been doing my PhD. Make sure you
guys check out the PhD weight loss. Uh yeah, yeah. Anyway,
I have not been drinking very much, and I do
not recall how many I had because people just kept
handing them to me, so I didn't you know, I

(07:58):
didn't keep counting and I didn't try to count because
Penn State had won and it was all was good
in in the universe for me. I got to see
my son on the sideline. Man, it was like I
was just so happy, bro, I just let that happiness
just take me to to the mascout pineapple, to the bar,

(08:20):
to the bar, straight to the bar.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
House over.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
I haven't even ate, I haven't even ate. I don't
even know the last time I've ate. I haven't even
ate anything. I'm hungry as hell, Like it's like all
all my priorities are all jacked up other than doing
this radio show and making sure that you know, we
do a fine show.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
But by the way, Stick City Abdul Carter got banged
up a little bit last night, Like.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Uh, you know, he heard his shoulder. Yeah, so so
I hope he feels better soon.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Any any thought to whether or not it's going to
impact him next.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Game or what, I don't know. I just gotta wait
and see. I mean, these guys are on the verge
of I mean, they're already making history with what they're doing.
I tell these guys on the field, I said that
everything you guys do, from the moment you started playing
in the playoffs, you are carving out your own space,

(09:16):
your own legacy within the tradition of what we have
represented all of these schools. And that's another thing that
you know, maybe doesn't get enough attention Zonaus when when
we're talking about like, people rather focus in on, oh,
this team shouldn't be it, this team should like how
about you focus in on the fact that these teams

(09:37):
are are making history, you know. Okay, so you know,
a team has to win, a team has to lose,
and there will be a loser and to say that, oh, well,
as a loser, you're not You're not touching history. These
these young men have prepared, they played, and they're touching
history by playing in this new playoff and they're being

(10:01):
home games and they're being bye week. So, you know,
I think that there's a lot to be said about
the changing you know, the changing environment of how many
games are played and how these playoffs are taken. But
this is the first time, this is the only time.
This will be the first time, and it feels like that,
Like it felt like that at the game. The energy

(10:23):
of it felt like that, and man, I really enjoyed it.
I really enjoy it. Felt it's almost like each of
these games are National Championship game. Bro, I'm telling you,
that's what it feels like. Like the energy of it,
the electricity of it, It's like this isn't It's like
every game these young men are playing in is the

(10:44):
equivalent of the National Championship game. And so to me,
I was, you know, I was really really driving home
to these guys. You know, I was talking to Abdul
and you know, Kobe King and the rest of those
guys just about how every single thing they do will
go into the annals and the history of Penn State football,

(11:08):
and it will always be discussed as the first time.
So what you guys do with it is going to play,
you know, a major role in how it's talked about
and how it's discussed. It could be you went out
in the first round. It could be you made it
all the way to this round. It could be you
won it all, you know, but whatever that is, you're
going to be remembered on a different level, to a

(11:30):
different capacity than any other team that has ever took
the field for Penn State. And I think that that's
pretty awesome.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
It's also a history for the sport. That's what when
we were talking earlier about you know, people that are
complaining about the mismatches and all that, it's like, look,
they'll get this thing figured out. There's going to be
adjustments to who gets the buys next year. That's already
been reported that there's going to be adjustments next week
to the bye weeks and everything that's involved in that.
And so like it's it's the first year, but like
the first year of something that we've never seen before

(11:59):
in sport, Like there used to be a time where
they would determine the college the national champion by voting
on it. It wasn't even like you didn't play it
out on the field.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
You voted on them.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Remember there was like a split national champion one year
was Miami and Washington.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Like we were part of that too. Well, we didn't
get it, but they gave We went undefeated, Nebraska went undefeated,
and they gave it to Nebraska because they said it
was Tommy Osborne's turn to win it. You know what
I mean, you.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Know, the writers and the coaches poll and like there
used to be it was such an outdated, antiquated way
that they determined that. And so now we're actually getting
the to play it out, and we're getting to play
it out with more teams involved with an opportunity to
win it. And yet people just want to complain.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Dude, this is just squish. Though. I wish I wish
that the bracket just consisted of the way it's your
rate on the on the polls. I really think that, like,
why why wouldn't you Why wouldn't you just have it
where if it's a twelve team, if it's a twelve
team playoff, then take the top twelve teams, like I

(13:06):
don't get it if you're ranked, if you're ranked one,
your number one, go figure. Hey, let me let me
throw an interesting concept at you. Right, you got this poll,
you got the AP poll, and you have what the
coaches poll or the writer's pole. Which one is a
p and AP? Coaches?

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Coaches?

Speaker 4 (13:25):
Okay, coaches poles? Let's take the coaches poll. Which one
is the one that's most most coveted? The AP?

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Is it the ADAP before the play before? The playoff rankings?
The APS before?

Speaker 4 (13:35):
Okay, okay, why do you not just look at what
the AP rankings are and take those teams and make
that your playoff I just don't get it. If you're
ranked number four, but oh you're not you're not that good,
or your your strength of schedule or this, that and

(13:56):
the other, and like you're ranked number four.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
I think they're trying. They're trying to reward winning your conference,
is the thought. And if you're just going by rankings,
there's obviously people that don't think Arizona State should be
ranked higher than Texas, and Arizona State won their conference
championship game, thus they would get the buye. Like I
think that's the thought. I mean to me. You know,

(14:19):
there's they added like one or two more steps to
the instruction manual than they probably needed to. We could
have made this a lot simpler, something along the lines
of what you're thinking. But instead, here we are, and
you've got Boise State in Arizona State coming off a
bye week and just getting shell ACKed. Currently with the State, I.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
Mean, they're in the game, they held them to a
field goal. They're they're they're competitive. It's not they're not
running away with it. This is a pivotal This is
a pivotal draft for for Arizona State. And and you
know what, like they're fighting, by the way, they're showing fight.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Cam Scataboo runs fronts like East always pissed off.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
He just built strong like that man. But yeah, I
mean they're being competitive. I listen, I don't know what's
going to happen with this game today. But all I
know is is that when I look at what these
guys are doing and what they have the opportunity to do,

(15:22):
it makes me wish I could go back and do
it all over again in this this you know generation
of playing it. You know, I just would love to
have had the opportunity I mean, I would assume we
would have made the playoff every year when I was
in school, you know, because you were out of it,
you were out of the playoff had got introduced, at

(15:45):
least a national championship game had got introduced my last
year in school. And that was when or maybe maybe
before it maybe before I'm not I'm not sure, but
I know Florida State played Virginia Tech. Was that the
first one? I feel like that was the first one
the college championship game, and that was Mike Vick and

(16:06):
Peter Ward and Chris Wink and those guys. Anyway, like
one loss knocked us out of contention to be able
to play for that national title. One loss, you know
what I mean? Like I would have loved that had
an opportunity to see what we could do if we
made the playoffs and our team, we would have traveled well,

(16:28):
we would have played well, and I would have loved
to have been a part of something like that. So
I just look at it from I guess maybe a
sentimental value of someone who used to play the game.
And if you're there and you have this opportunity, man,
God bless and enjoy it and take it in and
I wouldn't be listening to all of the noise, Like

(16:49):
that must sound crazy to these other teams that you
know out here, like God, you don't belong here, you know,
Like that's gotta sound crazy if you're an Arizona State player,
if you're a Boise State player, and yeah, short played
out where you know, Boise loss or Indiana loss. But
so what, Yeah they still played the game. They played
the game, you know, and not that it just kind

(17:11):
of bothers me, man Like people that don't have nothing
to do with this game, like from from the playing aspect,
like you don't know what it's like to struggle. You
don't know what it's like to be in the trenches
with and a stranger becomes your friend, your your friend
becomes your brother, Like people don't understand what that struggle
is like. And then you put it in and you

(17:34):
put the work in, and you put the time in,
and you get rewarded for people to tell you you
don't belong.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
By the way, anything you want to admit to here
on the air, were now our three of the program,
and you haven't you haven't mentioned this anything you want
to admit to well, any any like celebrity encounters. Maybe
at the.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Yeah, he wasn't at the Fiesta Bowl. He was at
my hotel.

Speaker 3 (17:56):

Cool dude, man, cool dude? We talked, cool dude.

Speaker 3 (18:56):

attention to like taking in all that information. He was
just he was a really cool dude, man, really cool,
real gracious dude. I was like, man, like, you do
realize even to this day, I watch you every single year,
like you got people like Jesus. You talk about them

(19:19):
like people talk about them every day or go to.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
See them once a week.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
That you got, like name some other people though that
really like they're gonna Santa Claus.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
I just thinking the same thing, man, Like, whenever I
go to church, there's always like a picture of Ralphie
on the Bible. I was thinking the same thing.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
No, No, I didn't put Ralphie on the Bible. I'm
saying there are certain people throughout our history that you
talk about them every like some people get it every day,
some people get it every week, some people get it
once a year.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
I'd love to know what his royalties are, Lee, do
you have the Do you know what Ralphie gets every time?

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Looks like he's struggling. I tell you that.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
I mean, I'd love to hear that. Let's go live
to our I have a thought on Ralphie's royalties. Insider
Chris Perfestulator.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
I don't, but I did just see. I didn't realize
they had made a sequel to a Christmas story. Yeah,
a Christmas story. Christmas. So, like, I know what Ralphie
looks like grown up, and that's the part that's like
really messing with me. So I know exactly like that
far off from No, he doesn't, he looks He just
looks like a you know, forty year old version he
stretched out. Yeah, yeah, so I know exactly the face

(20:26):
LeVar saw down there.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Like we work with Justin Cooper who was the star
and Liar and he just.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Crazy, Yes, that's cool. He looks the same. He just
looks like he smokes weed. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Just imagine, yeah, just imagine the little kid from Liar different,
the little kid from Liar Larr with a gambling problem
and pot in his back. Pone goes to like every
tool concert and yeah he's like, you know, he hangs
out at Hot Topic. He goes to the World Series
of Poker every year, and he you know, he smokes.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
No offense to my boy, Coop, Cooper is my dog. No, no, no, listen,
no shape. But this ain't even he smoked that bud.
He's good, that smoked that We Hey look though, hey, hey,
coop Dog, no shade. But as far as kid actors, like,

(21:18):
I don't think anyone even comes close to touching Ralphie.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Of Christmas Story, even mcaulay clin who had a great run,
even yeah Mcaulay Colin had a great run, but h yeah,
I would still go Ralphie from a Christmas Story all
the way all bruh.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
There's something like there's just I mean, I will say
like like, uh, Macaulay Cochin is a he's that's a
good one. I mean, that's that's it. That's in the
conversation because every single year you're going to watch Home Alone.
You're going to watch Home Alone. But it doesn't have
the historical nostalgia connected to it like Christmas Story. Like

(22:00):
Christmas Story was from a different time, a different generation.
Like it really you could really feel that that movie,
like there were so so many signature movement moments like.

Speaker 6 (22:12):
Oh yeah, like there was so the kid getting in,
getting his tongue caught on the on the light light pole,
Like there were so many signature moments.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
In that the little boy, the little boy running with
his with his snowsuit on. You can remember those snowsuits.
Did you have to well you you wouldn't remember that,
but people like us from the cold, we remember running
around in them snowsuits when it was cold outside. Like, bro,
you had to wear snowsuit like that to go to school.
You imagine that you had to peel yourself out of

(22:46):
that snowsuit to go just sitting class and being class,
like not burning up cause you got the snowsuit on.
Then you got to put it back on. You got
to put it back on when you leave. Like it
took you back to a time, a day in a
place where it was just you know, I don't know,
just amazing, man. So yeah, I met Ralphie. I met Ralphie.

(23:09):
That's pretty cool man.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Any update on how much he made? You can't get
hold of that guy's W two's we're not asking for
a lot here.

Speaker 7 (23:15):
Apparently a lot of people ask that question. No, cannot
find the royalties. But I do know his net worth,
which is around twelve million dollar.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Nice. Good for him, Good for him for one movie,
and that's probably like that twelve millions probably, like you
break that down, you know, I don't know, man, I
don't know. He's he's collecting every single He's like Mariah Carey.
Oh yeah, he's collecting every single year.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
He's probably a better singer than Mariah at this point too.

Speaker 4 (23:47):

dude last night.

is going on, and after that it'll be the Rose Bowl.
Texas by the way, up seventeen to three over Arizona
State right now, first half winding down, but there will
be no Sugar Bowl. And I think the right decision
to go ahead and postpone it to tomorrow, so not
overly surprising, would have been probably surprising had they kept

(25:28):
the same start time. There was a report that they
were going to delay it an hour or something like
that initially, but I don't know what the extra hour
would have done. So they're just going to go ahead
and play that game tomorrow. Still going to be a
kind of an awkward and unfortunate situation because it's still
going to be so fresh in everybody's minds what happened,
the tragedies, But you know, the game, The game goes on,

(25:51):
and it'll go on a day later than normal. So
that'll be that's the announcement of made official over there
in New Orleans situation. Tough situation for everybody involved, but
safety again is paramount, and they want to make sure
that they're they've got everything secured before they go ahead
and play a football game. So especially with the Super

(26:12):
Bowl coming up there in a couple of months or
next month.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Yeah, so go figure, right, I mean, now that's going
you got to assume they're gonna pull out all the
stops on what that probram oh god, oh yeah, and
then not to mention what that's going to be like
for you know, us, like the media and everybody once
once that comes around, like they ain't gonna play no
games with that.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
I mean, man, like like the super bowls we go to,
you've got to like there's a lot of security every
single time, Like every time you go to media row.
It's not like, I mean you get your one press credential,
but every morning that we go there, you've got to
go through security. You've got to get everything checked. You've
got to I mean, they do a full on check

(26:54):
to where you're at the airport. And after this, it's
gonna go there's gonna be the bomb sniffing dogs. There's
gonna be like all sorts of stuff. There, so, you know,
with this stuff going down and then the Super Bowl, which,
by the way, I can't believe it's a little over
a month. I think what thirty eight days is? The
sound flies man, geez dude.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
Time really flies, bro, really flash. Yeah that's yeah, man.
But again, thoughts and prayers don't want to you know,
understate how how heartbreaking and just gut wrenching it is
to hear that type of horrific news come out of
of the situation and just again just positive thoughts and

(27:37):
prayers too to all the families impacted by what took place. Man,
it's yeah, just you know, man, Yeah, terrible, terrible, Yeah,
it's just terrible. Man.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
So it is the Herd Here on Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington Jonas Knox in for Colin coming up here
in about fifteen minutes from now. He's one of the
all time greats. He's pulled off an amazing feat in
the world of football, and the proof is in the numbers.
We've got that for you in the next edition of
The Herdline News here again fifteen minutes from now. So
we'll keep you posting on what's happening between Texas and Arizona.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
State.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
It is under a minute, I'll have to go in
the first Yeah, we did have a fake punt there.
So Arizona State is pulling out all the stops to
try and stay in this game and.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Keep it attrivative. Well, i mean, come on, Jones, give
them a little if they get in right here, it's
ten to seventeen, they're down by touchdown.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Hey, listen, I'm not forks up or horns up or
horns down either way. I'm just you know, I'm just saying,
what not horns? Dang, San, there's no you know, the
devil horns. Oh no, not that, No, I mean, oh

(28:48):
the big horns. Yeah, them big gray horns. That's what
you're talking about.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Jeez. That for you is that's going to be a
new one right there. The horns, big horns, little horns,
medium horns.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Horn got.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Big horn.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
He's got you got problems, man, Cannon, So big horns.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
All right.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Well, that being said, there is a couple of big
rumors that are out there when it comes to the
coaching searches in the NFL. So Mike Rabel is obviously
the big name out there. He's the guy, especially with
Belichick going on to North Carolina. Now whether or not
Belichick and that very workable and doable buyout is impacted
this early in the in the process. Can't imagine it would,

(29:43):
but who knows. According to Tony Pauline, who's an NFL reporter,
he says that Mike Rabel wants the Patriots gig like
that is that is the job that he wants of
all the jobs that are there now. Gerdmeo currently has
that gig.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
I was about to say that is that a.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Well, here's here's why it wouldn't be that surprising. Girod
Mayo has stepped in it multiple times this year and
describing his team, oh man.

Speaker 6 (30:13):
Like.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Yeah, and and then had to backtrack like you know,
you know he's in training company saying yeah, you know,
like Drake May's outplayed Jacobe Prissett, Like so, why isn't
he the starter? Like didn't make any like he just
would openly say that, and then he called his team
soft at one point, and then he There's just been
multiple times that there's been questionable commentary from Girod Mayo.

(30:36):
I find I find it hard to believe that robber
Craft would just go away from Girod Mayo if he
was the heir apparent to the guy that robber Craft
couldn't wait to get rid of. And if if Mike
Rabel was available last year, why didn't they just hire
him last year?

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Right? That?

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Yeah, so that's why, like that part of it doesn't
doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
I agree, and so like I just and.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
The only the pushback on that would be, well, it
was already announced that Drod Mayo was going to be
the guy. Okay, so he's a parent, Then why would
you move on from a year later? Like unless it
was just a complete disaster and it's been awkward. But
I don't think it's a complete disaster. Drake may does
look like he can play a little bit like he
does feel like, you know, there's some potential there.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
So I mean, I wouldn't believe I wouldn't put too
much stock into thinking that Vrabel is holding out for
the Patriots job. I think girod Mayo will be back,
and I think Mike Rabel will weigh out and measure
his I think he has to be very careful and

(31:47):
what his next decision is as head coach, you know,
and that's something that has to be taken into serious,
serious consideration, you know, and and for what it's worth,
that man's coaching career is basically on the line. You know,
there's not very many I don't know the number, but

(32:08):
it's not very many times that a head coach in
the National Football League goes on to a third or
fourth opportunity to coach a team. So I just he's
got to be careful in what he's doing, man, and
what decision that he makes, because this could, in essence
marked the last time he has that opportunity to even

(32:29):
be a head coach in the National Football League.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Yeah, it's yeah, because I mean how many you know,
how many times do you get that third opportunity? Unless
you know, Lovey Smith did but that didn't exactly.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Go well, not at all. That was short lived. And
how many times has he been talked about as being
a head coach candidate since then? Since Houston? Right gone
like gone forever? Because he knows it's gone forever. Who's
going to hire you if you haven't been able to
get it done and all those opportunities, why should somebody else?

(33:02):
But that's why I have a weird feeling, like I had,
I get this weird feeling on on retrack coaches to
begin with. I don't get that. If you're not a
coach that has shown that you win Super Bowls, why
do you get other opportunities to be a head coach?
Keep trying to find the coach that's going to take
a guy to take take a team to the super Bowl.

(33:24):
Keep moving on, like what are you like? For the
longest time, it's like, this coach gets fired, he goes
over here. This coach got fired from there, he goes
over here. This coach got fired over here, Go be
offense coordinator. Now he's a head coach. Again, this coach
guy fired over here. Now go be a defensive coordinator. Hey,
be a defensive backs coach. Oh, he's a quarterbacks coach.
I don't get it. If you ain't led a team

(33:47):
to the Super Bowl and you ain't showed that you
could be a super Bowl caliber coach, what are you
getting more opportunities for? It doesn't make sense to me.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
You know, speaking of a super Bowl winning coach. The
other name that could potentially pop up on some lists
because apparently teams are kicking the tires on is John Gruden.
That according to Tom Pellasero, who said that you know,
some teams are doing their due diligence, they're kind of
investigating and looking into whether or not John Gruden could

(34:17):
be a possibility this time around. I mean, it did
feel like he was having the Raiders at least heading
somewhat in the right direction. And then all of a sudden,
you know, some emails came out and some not so
nice things were said about certain people in the NFL,
and the next thing, you know, John Gruden was gone.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
But it does I mean, what direction were they going in,
Like you said, a great direction? Where was that team
at when he like when all that happened, Like what
was their record the year before?

Speaker 3 (34:45):
I believe they were three and two when he got clipped,
and I think the year before they were.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Eight and eight.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
If I'm not mistaken, I'm not, Like, ain't nobody again
I must I'm a double look down on what I
just said, Like, yes, he did win a Super Bowl,
Yes he was a good coach at one point in time.
That man has been removed from the game for a
little while now, Damn, he's been removed for a little while.

(35:11):
Why aren't you looking for newer coaches? Like newer coaches? Damn,
Like like let's do away with all these old head coaches. Damn. Sorry,
and I don't I'm not trying to sound like a hater.
I'm just saying, if you're not if you're not an
Andy Reid, if you're not like a Sean Payton, who

(35:31):
is like literally like was in the mix and was
was always in the mix to get these jobs and
has has really shown that he can turn organizations around
and turn them into a winner. If it's not like
one of them guys, what are you kicking the tires
around for on on these old retrad coaches? Damn? I

(35:52):
mean that's how it is and broadcast right, Like some
guys go from station to station, but at some point
you start to realize there's a reason why if they're
not a top top ratings type of guy, there's a person,
there's a reason why that mother lover lost their job.
We're talking about, don't nobody care. I ain't saying no names.

(36:16):
I'm just speaking just in general about the industries, Like like,
you ain't moving the needle. What are you kicking the
tires around?

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Man?

Speaker 4 (36:24):
John Grewten, ain't moving nobody's needle at this point in
his career. You're talking to they talking to yo ass
mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (39:14):
What do we got, Will Fellows?

Speaker 7 (39:16):
That Alamo Bowl between BYU and Colorado, the numbers are out.
They apparently garnered eight million viewers uh for that game,
which led Deon Sanders Junior to take to Twitter to
announce this, damn eight million people saw us get clapped.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
It's a lot of people.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
Man, that's a lot of a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
By the way, I'll say this, there's gonna be there's
a lot of Colorado haters out there, people that were
rooting against Colorado at every turn, want to get to
fail and not be a success. They're going to miss
them next year because if it's not the same buzz
and same energy like that was one of the major
talking points for at least a couple of years in

(39:56):
college football was what Deon Sanders did in Boulder, which
is why look, yeah, he didn't win a national title
there with those with those with his son and Travis
Hunter on the team, But damn that's been a success.
Like as far as buzz, energy, excitement at Colorado Farm
we were growing up, Colorado football was a big deal
and it was no man's land for decades until Dion

(40:19):
and those guys got there.

Speaker 4 (40:21):
So awesome for them. You hit it right, Yeah, good
for them, And then you know the best days are
ahead of them, you know, with Deon Sanders at the helm,
not not behind them. This is nowhere near the beginning
of the end for Colorado and coach prov This is
he's just getting started. People, So just why they might
be better without I hate to say it, without him

(40:44):
having to worry about his kids, you know. So we'll
see how it all goes.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
What else we got lead fellows.

Speaker 7 (40:50):
Bryce James, the youngest son of Lebron, has made his
college decision.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
The Shooting Garden.

Speaker 7 (40:54):
Three star prospect took to social media and said one
hundred percent committed to the University of Arizona.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
How about that they played basketball there? They do? I
actually hear that this one is legit.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
It's two inches taller than than Brownnie, what are you
trying to say the other one's not legit?

Speaker 4 (41:14):
Well, he's in the.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
NBA, but he got drafted.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
He's legit. He got drafted. He's legit. He just ain't
as legit to quit like the older or the younger one. Bryce.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
You know you're way better than that other one.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Yeah, dang damn so disrespectful.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
What's wrong with you?

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Man? The other one just ain't as good as the
younger one got drafted. Maybe this one will really get drafted.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
Hard right by Arrington.

Speaker 4 (41:50):
You're wrong, man, man, you're wrong. Let that young Let
that young man live. Man, Stop being a hater.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Damn what else?

Speaker 4 (42:00):
Bowl voting has closed? Can you guys guess who got
the most votes? I don't care, mar.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Care less Leaco and I guess, yes, you can most
votes for the Pro Bowl. I'm gonna say, Kayleb Williams.
It's so funny.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
Damn damn.

Speaker 7 (42:21):
Well, the Swifties came in strong. Travis Kelcey and is
uh maybe his worst year yet, has garnered over two
hundred fifty thousand votes, beating up to for most votes.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
And that's why.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
And they're all Swifties, and that's why.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
That's why you don't let fans have the power that.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
They're all they're all Swifties. What a joke. Good good
for you, Travis, way to build your your community. You
did it right.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
That's just ridiculous. I mean, if it was up to them,
the host of Doubledare would be you know, the next
guy to get a Pro Bowl vote.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
Sick of I mean his girlfriend would be a Pro
Bowl h
