Speaker 3 (00:26):
There's a Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Seasons Greetings from Fox Sports Live in LA. It's the
Hurt wherever you may be, however you may be listening,
whatever platform, Thanks for making us part of your day.
There are some things that are absolutely true. It just
takes a while to prove them, and people will push back.
(00:53):
But some things definitively they're obvious. But we're not comfortable
saying something that is definitively proof over time, absolutely factual.
The NFL is a big man's game. So Nick Sarajani's
(01:13):
the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. They're in a losing
streak and Jalen Hurts is struggling, and Nick Sarianni on
WIP Radio in Philadelphia was asked about replacing him. Is
there a possibility later this season if he continues to
struggle that you can make a change at the quarterback's buck.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
No, I think that's ridiculous. You know, I think, you know,
Jalen Hurts. I know every time I go out in
that field with Jalen Hurts as our quarterback, we have
a chance to win the game. And that's you know,
that's that's something that's been proven. Every time I walk
out on that field and Jalen Hurts as a starting quarterback,
I have so much confidence that we can win every
(01:54):
game and in any game that we play and that
we're in.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, except for the last three or four, which you
keep losing. The truth is, the more Jalen Hurts throws,
the worst Philadelphia is the Those are the facts. If
he throws over thirty times, they're not very good. So
I'm going to give you a list of current quarterbacks
in the NFL that lead their division or are leading
(02:22):
in the MVP race, or their name is Joe Burrow.
Here's their heights. You can put up the graphic for
our TV audience. Six six six' six six' five six
four six four six four six three six three. Six
three i'm. SIX' two i can't be taller than. Your
franchise quarterback these are the first Place Quarterbacks or Joe
(02:46):
Burrow and josh ALLEN probably wins mvp. Certainly deserves it
in the, last twenty years there Have Been two super
bowl champion quarterbacks that we've all, SORT, of gone. Whoa
That's surprising nick foles Six Five and joe. Flacco six
six have you noticed how quickly The Smaller quarterbacks age,
(03:09):
Tua Beat up kyler murray, Hurt A lot brock purty banged.
Up A lot jalen hurts on, A Losing streak, Jylan
Gabriel benched bryce young. Been banged up and it's not.
Just the size as we show you A Picture of
(03:31):
jalen hurt, from the camera look how. Small he, looks he's,
smart he's, athletic he's. Tough he's tiny it's not just
the size and the length. Of the quarterback it's the length.
Of the season it's. NOW seventeen games nfl defensive, players, are,
Bigger stronger faster they, hits hurt more. They're more punitive seventeen,
(03:55):
regular season games.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Four playoff games.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I'll give, You An. Example justin. Herbert This year justin
herbert went to dinner last NIGHT with the Gm. Of
The chargers justin herbert, is they say closer to six seven.
Than six six he's. A large man he's been hit one.
Hundred six times he currently has a broken hand and,
no run game and yet his team is. Nine, To,
(04:22):
four meanwhile tua when he's hit just seven times, in
a game they.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Came out of the.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Same Draft lass when tua is just hit seven, times
a game he's. One In six jalen. Hurts is small
people have tried to convince me. Height doesn't matter go
look at our graphic again of first place QUARTERBACKS.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
In The nfl.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Josh ALLEN'S, gonna win mvp and A Guy, named joe
burrow who there's an argument is the best pure thrower
in the sport and.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
He's six four that Part Of the.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
JALEN hurts thing i love how we showed. You that
video we showed you That Video of jalen hurts throwing
the ball Behind THE massive. Eagles o line the PROBLEM
is all o, lines are massive average size six five
and a half to six six. And a half, look for,
yourself it's cluttered it's. Hard, to see Well What, about
baker mayfield smaller, than i'd like throws a, lot of picks,
(05:24):
some of them, in my, opinion, over compensation emotionally over
compensation physically trying. To make, plays his, body his arm and.
His VISION can't so i was TALKING to that gm
Last Night. About caleb williams not going to, get into
details but we got into this. Discussion last night what
(05:46):
in the world do you do with a quarterback that
is completing fifty eight percent? Of his throws will he? Ever,
get better well. Here's what's interesting if you Look at
The Bear's quarterback kleb williams second year stats, this year
stats They're Identical to josh allen's second Year. Stats, in
buffalo identical both completing fifty eight percent of their throws with,
(06:10):
about twenty touchdowns not, that many picks and they're. Winning
A Lot but josh allen has moved to seventy percent
this year, in completion percentage one of my beliefs because
he's throwing to, the tight ends. More easier throws they're
Receiving group, In buffalo stinks so he's not throwing the
(06:31):
ball down the. Field as much his completion percentage hasn't
risen dramatically just because. He's More accurate no josh throws
to the. Tight ends more, those are. Shorter easier throws,
THE truth is i don't think completion percentage matters as
much a if you're Wildly athletic Like caleb bo nix
(06:52):
Is Really, athletic josh allen or you're on, your, rookie
contract well why? Would That matter Because, denver And chicago
Bo nix and caleb. Have great rosters Everybody's Talking, about
ben johnson Everybody's Talking. About caleb williams what's not being
discussed is How stacked the bears roster is because They're not.
Paying caleb anything they have the number three offensive line of.
(07:17):
Thirty Two teams the bears do and two, Of Their
guys Drew Dolman, and joe tooney. Are top ten they're
number one in Takeaways With Two Pro bowlers Kevin Byard.
And jalen johnson montez sweat eight and, a half sacks
top TWELVE. In the nfl they're number, two in rushing,
two excellent backs and a multitude of really good receivers.
(07:40):
And tight ends lost in the Conversation with Bo, nix
And caleb the Broncos and the bears rosters with two
brilliant offensive. Coaches are loaded so, generally in life the more,
money you make the more mistakes you can. Make with MONEY,
in the nfl the less money you make, is a
quarterback the less perfect you. Have, To be now caleb's great.
(08:05):
On Third down bow nicks is great in, the fourth
quarter but they're. Wildly and uneven you're allowed to be
when you're on, your rookie contract have, an offensive coach
and are really really above. Average In Athleticism so caleb
williams on third, down is outstanding and, he's, obviously coachable.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Durable and athletic i'm.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Good with that now he's gonna win a, lot of
games and So is bo nicks until perhaps they get.
The big contract but Everybody Looks at josh, allen, and.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Goes well.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Hey so accurate now do you think? It to coincidence
he has his. Worst receiving corps he's throwing more underneath
and more often. The Tight ends josh allen is still, all, about,
power horsepower running. Leaping over people We Don't think josh.
Allen hyper accurate we think of. The DYNAMIC athleticism So
(09:02):
i Think caleb bo nicks athleticism to some degree in
your rookie contract trumps. ALL the, accuracy i mean Ask
yourself What boe and caleb have. Done this year look.
At their records what are they twenty and six and neither.
One's terribly accurate it tells you how good the coaches and,
(09:22):
the rosters are which you, get away with we're not paying.
The quarterback anything THIS is what rg three about a
week Ago Said about caleb. Williams completion percentage accuracy, is a.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Myth all right accuracy to me is always dependent upon
where the defense is and what you're trying to get the.
Receiver to DO so where i think his sixty one
percent completion percentage comes from is more so the fact
that he is willing to take more chances to have,
big plays occur which drives down. His completion percentage do
(09:55):
you want a guy that's going to Be. A checkdown
charlie do you want a guy that is not going
to take those risks deep down the field because he's afraid.
TO make mistakes i don't Think That's who. Caleb williams is.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
We also have, a TOPIC today and i have SAID
this that I Believe The los angeles dodgers are not
only the best run Sports Operation, In, NORTH, america canada
us all sports and when you're really smart, and well
run you are. Planning years ahead so there's a lot
(10:30):
of fear in baseball right Now that the dodgers are
pulling away back. To back Champs Just, signed edwin diaz
the best closer, in baseball arguably and they may sign
over the next two days the Two Times sign young Winner.
Out of Detroit why the dodgers understand what is happening
(10:51):
in the world AND why the nba is missing out
on this. That's coming up.
Speaker 2 (10:58):

So this, Freaks EVERYBODY out but I Think and i,
i'll Back this and i've Said it as jmack. As
My witness the dodgers are the Best run organization i've
ever seen, in any sport certainly now and maybe ever.
Research and development they don't miss, On free agents they get,
the right guys the way they stagger their pictures ready,
for the postseason how. They solve problems it's. Not just
(12:00):
money they do not spend the highest percentage of their revenue.
On their payroll, mets actually do. And they think so
there's a story Today After signing edwin Diaz, from the mets,
a great closer they may go after and they may
announce They've signed the tigers Left Handed, ace tarik Skubel
(12:20):
Two Time, cy young winner great great pitcher To go
with yoshi who looked like last year the best. Pitcher
in baseball So what the dodgers understand IS what.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
The nba doesn't.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Sports leagues now are competing Against succession And Instagram and
Stranger things And TikTok And. Game of thrones it's broader
and wider than ever for the audience the. Options are
everywhere parody. Doesn't cut through you see the ratings last
(12:53):
Year For, the world series Even with a canadian team
the best. In A decade the dodgers unders and in
a Highly Distracted market los angeles and, a, very distracted.
Frenetic caffeinated world you Got to, go mission impossible You.
Gotta go avengers They've, learned from hollywood. They really have
(13:13):
they've Tapped into what. Hollywood figured out independent films.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Isn't.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
The answer now some. Dynasties are boring bama football where
the coach was more interesting, than The Players And, tim
Duncan Spurs, But, George steinbrenner jeters yankees, Were not Boring
shaq and, kobe not Boring and the. Dodgers aren't boring
What's Boring, is oklahoma city a personality list team in
(13:39):
a parody driven new champ every year. Sport nobody's watching,
by THE, way The ufc who i've, supported for years
They need. Another connor McGregor it's a lot of. Really
good guys they. Need a superstar there's, too many options there's,
too many platforms there's too. Many Great, Shows Big, Wins
(14:02):
mission impossible Otani. To THE dodgers the nba is caught.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Up on this.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Let's be fair go LOOK At the wa Go Look.
At wall street seven COMPANIES. Run the dow.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Used to Be.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Google and Microsoft, Now it's navidia IT'S all, the ai companies.
Trillion dollar. Companies it's happening it, is a. Wider wider
world go look. At college football we BLEW up, the
pac twelve but we took their two, MOST interesting Programs,
(14:37):
usc and oregon and put them in A massively. Popular
big ten WE took the sec and a very Uninteresting conference,
to big twelve but we took the two, Most interesting
Teams texas and oklahoma and put Them INTO. The great
sec and college football increasingly is a two mega, Power
(14:57):
conference SPORT, big ten sec and the ratings are through.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
The, roof.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
THIS oh the pac twelve is, gonna what disband go
away and the. Sports ratings Increase So college FOOTBALL fox,
In espn said we're not gonna let you guys run.
The sport anymore we're going to initiate a lot. OF
These moves usc Oregon join, The Big ten texas oklahoma GET.
Into the sec now it FEELS like the nfl run by.
(15:26):
Two major conferences so the Thing about the dodgers is
you can.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Pick a side you can, root for them you can.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Root against Them Outside, of oklahoma city nobody has a STRONG.
Opinion on okac so THIS is why I. Like the
dodgers it's not just they're, good, at drafting. Scouting, free
agency yes, they've got money So. To the mets yes,
they've got money So.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
To the nationals go look.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
At their owner they understand on, a marketing level they're doing.
A mission impossible, they get it not JUST in distracted
la but in a distracted. Platform heavy planet so. Go for,
It i'm, in i'm watching and the ratings tell us.
You are too you pick a Side, with the dodgers
(16:15):
love him, or hate him but you're forced.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
To take one. You're Never indifferent j mack, With, the.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
News no no turn. On the news this Is The.
Herd line news that was.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
Your best take. Of the week now for my best take.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Of the Year Of The, kansas city chiefs who are
on the fringe of.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
Missing, The playoffs, Colin it's close. It's very close they
can be mathematically eliminated this weekend with the Loss, of
the chargers And If the Bills jags.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
And texans win bill's.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Have a tough One, against THE patriots so i don't
know if. They'll Be eliminated travis kelsey, Continues, to look
listen we said. Maybe he's washed that was an awful game,
and Off Ending and taylor swift was there.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
To see, it you, Know.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It's interesting jason there are a lot, of, defenders saying
well look at his they're actually. Kind of good but
remember this who wasn't available for the first six Weeks
For She rice xavier worthy in and out. Of the
lineup they have. No run game so early, in the
season it was like he was the guy. To throw
to so on any normal if you would have Put
(17:16):
In with Puka Nakua and Devonte Adams and Kyron Williams,
and matt stafford the numbers wouldn't be. What they are
people are looking at his overall numbers that are not
contextualizing is he was for the first six weeks dire.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
For their offense, by the way six weeks coming off
and off season where. He was rested now we're, fourteen
weeks in. HE'S looking, slow i mean. HE'S lumbering around
i don't want to, bask The, Guy but anyways eerie
is talking about his FRUSTRATION.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
IN the nfl i.
Speaker 9 (17:45):
DON'T know discipline I feel like i've always had the answers,
in years past and this YEAR it's just i just.
Can't FIND them and, i KEEP thinking if i show
up TO work and i put, in THE work and i.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Fix the issues.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
Through my practice habits and through perfecting the game plan
and my Fundamentals and what, i'm being taught and go
out there and try and play my ass off for
my guys, next to me it's all gonna come together
like it has, in years past and this year.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Is, just not man.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
It's okay to say he's old and not as effective. As,
he was well It's Not.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
Just travis kelcey he's not even like a top three.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Problem, the team WELL and and i think. YOU nail
it i think older players can be, very effective early
but this sport. WEARS you, down i mean, first of
all we all feel a little worse, when it's cold right.
You're getting hit, it's multiple. Games eight surgeries so he's had.
An unbelievable, career he's first second or third Best tight end. I've, ever,
(18:45):
watched yeah easy got a root For love the chiefs love.
Everything they're about but when people throw out the numbers
and the production, first Six, Weeks No rashi rice worth
these in and out. Of the lineup they can't. RUN
the ball a lot of that stuff has. Not been
Contextually we thought rice would be. At number one he's not.
A number One he's not he's. A good receiver. I'm,
(19:06):
seeing reports hey they need to go get. A boundary
receiver they really now were Starting To. Miss tyreek hill
can They Go? Get brandon ayuk could do?
Speaker 8 (19:14):
They, go get Hey let's get Pickens if the cowboys
don't want. TO keep them, i, DON'T know man i.
Saw a number they are forty two million. Over the,
cap next year this team is gonna Look. So different
colin they're gonna have to. Move off guys they have
no offensive linemen that are good on the. ON the tackles, i,
don't know man Your Thoughts. On chargers chiefs chiefs are
four and a. Half POINT favorite somehow I.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
LIKE the chargers i, mean To me the chargers right
now are doing it with a little. Grit and guile
but they.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Do Have. Playmakers trey harris, by.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
The way, if McDuffie's out That, Is, devastating.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Johnson, Ladd. McConkey hampton herbert i just feel like they've
got more juice offensively when You watch, the chiefs play
that old line has unraveled.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Everything, on offense, yeah it's.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
Bad all right let's move to. A nicer Story That's
The Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Some trouble here It Could, be michael parsons it Could
be j mack.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
With the news well, that's the news and thanks. For
stopping by.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
As much as i've Been Critical of notre dame over
the last, COUPLE of days i do think there's an
argument that the greatest young coach Proer College. Is marcus
Freeman And so marcus freeman is getting a lot of interest.
In Professional football brian kelly was. A good coach he
had HIS agent call nfl. Teams years ago. They Weren't
(24:07):
Interested and marcus freeman is facing a dilemma a lot
of really. Super talented people do do you stay, at
your really really, really good job or do you take
a big swing at the highest level of your profession
you're a wildly Popular, stockbroker in minneapolis or do You Move.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
To new york.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Here's the thing he Can Stay at notre dame forever
and be successful because he, has great energy he's. A
great recruiter in the, last four seasons they've got the,
six most wins the, fourth most points and he's. A
defensive guy so he could. Stay there forever AND, in
the nfl so there's guarantees for. Him in college there's
no GUARANTEES. In the, nfl you know there's THREE reasons
(24:51):
Why I, believe marcus freeman and he's going to get
you know. The giants job there's A Lot. Of marcus
freeman here's THE three reasons i would. Stay in college
number one is college jobs now pay about eighty to
NINETY percent, Of, nfl JOBS okay and i like that
(25:11):
because you get to control of the personnel and you're making.
The same money for, years and years, it, WAS like yeah,
i CONTROL personnel but i Make, half a belichick so
the money. Now is close NUMBER two is nfl owners
have all. Become multi billionaires they've become crazier. AND more,
Impulsive i mean Tennessee Actually. Fired Mike rabel and i'm
(25:33):
not saying donors aren't a little bit of a pain,
in the bot. But they're not they don't have control.
If you're winning owners have control. When you're winning the
other thing that needs to be talked about is that
START looking and i know this is a, bit about
vanity but start LOOKING at. Old nfl coaches they, look
(25:57):
beat up. Weathered And, tire mario christobal fifty five years
old on my Show Last week gun SHOW in a

Speaker 3 (27:51):

Speaker 8 (28:35):
Saturday fox primetime hoops returns, with A Bang as yatzel
lenndeborg Leads second Rank michigan against Maryland in a Big,
ten showdown Saturday eight Pm.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Eastern, on, fox so yeah there's.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Been a Lot Made. Of shador sanders he deserves. A
fair chance AND so yesterday i thought it was pretty
straightforward and Pretty Obvious that dylan Gabriel Start before Shador
Sanders because dylan gabriel had so many more college starts
and was more prepared initially to start and, grasp The
offense and shadour eventually his talent is. BETTER would rise
(29:11):
i don't think it's. A conspiracy theory i. Think that's
obvious do. A Little homework dylan gabriel broke a college
record for most college, starts or, something right like it's
just an insane Number. Compared To shador so shadour eventually.
Is more talented but The other reason shadure is going
to get A. Chance in cleveland make it. Or break
(29:31):
it all you have to do is look at the
current TWENTY twenty six. Nfl draft order for, The radio
audience i've put in the top twelve teams Outside, Of, The,
giants tennessee Washington, and PROBABLY cincinnati although i would draft
A quarterback If, i was, cincinnati third. Fourth fifth round
(29:54):
burrows injuries adding up eight of twelve arguably. Need A
quarterback supply i can't keep. Up With demand the rams
are going to draft the quarterback first. Or second pick
they don't, need him now but they want. IT in,
house i mean all you need to Know is the
colts are asking forty Four Year old philip rivers to come. Out,
(30:16):
of retirement dude he's like four years away FROM getting
that arp card. In the mail this Year Earlier The
bengals joe. Burrow got hurt who did They Immediately Call cleveland.
Joe flacco Forty that's Why I've said fernando.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Mendoza The.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Quarterback For Indiana if dante more, doesn't come out there's
going to be a bidding war to.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Get this kid, he's, six,'.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Five big Arm wholesome he's Leading Indiana to. The Big
ten championship so shadur is going to Get A, Run Because.
Mac Jones kyler murray kyler murray's going to, Get Paid
by somebody daniel jones getting paid By. The by the
colts so you know This Whole. THING about shadoor Sanders
(31:04):
I would take shador sanders because he's a fifth round
pick and he's basically free for. THE next three years
i would start him this year In Next year. OVERPAYING
kyler murray's contract i wouldn't want to. Be, BURDENED by
It plus. I think shade's, likable he's selling.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Merch he's.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Selling tickets it's. Fascinating it's talked about there's no other
reason To. Talk about the browns but if you go, look,
at the draft order supply cannot keep up with Demand,
and the nil Now These kids Like Dante more and
ty simpson can make four million dollars winning eleven. Twelve
games in college why come out and get a nosebleed
(31:41):
and get your brains Beaten in so the giants will,
not DRAFT a quarterback and i think they're too talented not.
TO win another Game i think the titans. Don't need
a quarterback you Can argue everybody else. Commanders won't take one, maybe,
in the fourth Fifth Sixth round with jayden daniel's. Injuries
adding up Again, BUT here, Urban Meyer i mean fernando
(32:04):
mendoza is the only can't. Miss half the draft he's.
THE number one pick i believe there'll. Be a Bidding,
war here's urban meyer Who Is at that big Ten
championship game ON mendoza here's.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
What i think ABOUT him AS an.
Speaker 12 (32:17):
NFL prespect i changed i made a comment before this game.
HE should come back. I. DON'T think so now i
saw against a team that Had, better talent than indiana
and he. Won that freaking game he got hit right
square in the face of the second first play of
the game and tucked. His WAY through it so i.
THANK you the nflready i didn't say. That before this game.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
So one of the, things that is happening it. Happened
in my business it's settled down, NOW in the radio
tv podcasting space over the last twelve. Months it settled
down but we went through about a five year period
where you woke up in the morning and you just
didn't know what was going. On with our business and
it's happening all over the WORLD, Right, now with ai
(33:02):
like how's it going to turn out the smartest. People
in the world You Can, Listen To elon Musker Mark.
Zuckerberg or mark cuban you can take people with incredibly
willful aspirational companies and smart people and science. Experts and
tech experts they don't KNOW. What's happening, with ai nobody
knows nobody has any idea how it's. Going to work
(33:23):
out some people are calling they'll. BE forty percent unemployment.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
One of the things in sports, that HAS massively changed and,
i mean it's huge it's college. Football nil transfer portal
and there was a group. OF you out there i had,
Friends who said this i'm never. WATCHING college, Football again
i mean I'LL. Just watch the nfl i'm. Looking at
(33:50):
the ratings fox aired the three most watched college. Football
Games This season ohio state michigan eighteen, And A Half
million big ten championship eighteen, And A Half million texas
ohio state sixteen.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
And a half, million for.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
All you the world is ending the, Nil and transfer
portal i'd. Argue saved college football you don't almost killed
it an Eight, Year, Period, with GEORGIA bama clemson and
lsu one of those four within a seven hundred and seventy.
Mile radius winning it college football got INSANELY regional and
(34:26):
the sec always paid. Everybody under the table now back
door money has. Become front door money everybody gets Paid
and Schools Like michigan and notre dame. HAVE top Ten
endowments usc and oregon just finished with The Best recruiting
classes west coast schools with. A lot of money for
the top seven teams today, left in college football for
(34:49):
those teams. HAVE the biggest nils i prefer the. Transparency
all those people it's. Gonna Kill college football big ten
is one hundred and. Twenty nine years old for one
hundred and twenty, Eight of those years indiana could Not
Compete for. The big TEN championship but their, nil is
(35:10):
Very Strong, led by mark cuban and Now They're better
than ohio state at. Least for, a night, so politics
media sports we're seeing massive change and people are. Totally
uncomfortable with it but did you realize since college football
went to? A twelve team, playoff listen to this we've.
(35:34):
HAD twenty different teams. Nil saved College, Football It, allowed
Vandy mark cuban and Indiana To. COMPETE with ohio state
i LOVE college football and i WENT a decade where
i almost stopped Talking about it until Harbaugh. Came back
to michigan. It was completely regional indiana a powerhouse. Now
(35:56):
not going anywhere vanderbilt five star quarterbacks can beat, anybody On.
Any day including alabama what we fear is going to
kill us ais job. Displacement actually saves, us the medical,
advancements the space advancements maybe find those UAPs and. Those
(36:18):
aliens after all but everybody thought this was going. TO
crush the sport i. THINK it saved it i think
The Expansion, of the big ten THE. Expansion of the sec.
The numbers prove it people say, a lot of things.
They do fewer things people say they're going to. Work
Out this year by february they have the gym. Membership
(36:39):
and don't go people say they're, Going to eat better
they're never going to. Watch college football again. The numbers
prove otherwise the. Sport needed more flexibility the players. Needed
to be paid the players needed to transfer out of
Stockpiling dominant teams like georgia that doesn't quite Look as
fast that indiana. Looks almost as fast why because if
(37:02):
You don't start at, georgia after a year you can transfer.
To another fine Program so here's ed orgeron, On a
great Podcast busting. With the boys podcast this week he
talked about the. NIL and paying, players, i.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
Say it coach you know you've been out of, coaching for,
a while and though how do you?
Speaker 7 (37:22):
Go adjust, at nil so.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Well so minor adjustment and so, WHAT do, you mean,
i said back then we used to walk through the.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Back door to cash now.
Speaker 7 (37:33):
We just got to.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
WALK through the door.
Speaker 3 (37:37):

Speaker 1 (37:39):
I prefer, the transparency i mean Everybody knew in the,
south through the churches. Guys Were getting payments old miss
got Caught.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
More than old. Miss now it's transparency there's.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Biding wars for players they always, deserve to be paid.
And now it's upfront it used to be that paying
a high school player. Was a death, penalty now it's marketed.
Promoted and bragged about. I'm okay with, it all this change.
We all freak Out forty percent of americans never leave
the area code.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
In which they're.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Born, that's fine too tradition. There's Plenty, Of it ohio, State,
Michigan must watch. Texas Oklahoma still rocks bama georgia watch it.
Every time they play there's still, ALL SORTS. OF tradition
