Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'll be with you on Tuesday for about an hour
and a half before we have a special edition of
the Jeff Trailer Show is going to be next Tuesday night.
Probably jumped the gun on announcing that, but so what
we did anyway, and then Wednesday, Thursday and Wednesday and
Thursday we're in California for basketball, and then we'll see
what the end of the week has coming up next week,
(00:20):
but nonetheless enjoy them with taking over the rains for
a few days. But Saturday night is when ut when
the Heisman Trophy is going to be announced. And I'm
kind of thinking that the Heisman Trophy was between two
players until last Saturday night when in Indiana beat Ohio State,
(00:44):
and Fernando Mendoza probably gets the nod over Julian Saying.
I think it's hard to overlook the fact that Julian
Saying completes almost eighty percent of his passes, but he
didn't win the big game, So Fernando Mendoza may get
the last few votes.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And I understand, you know, the Heisman is definitely going
to go to a quarterback more than it's going to
go to any other member of the offense. But Julian
Sayan is not and the Heisman's not the trophy for
the best player on the team. But Jeremiah Smith is
(01:21):
the best offensive player on that Ohio State roster. Correct
the fact that saying is representing Ohio State at the
Heisman finalists ceremony. That tells me more of we just
wanted to have an Ohio State representative.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Why can't a wide receiver win the Heisman Trophy? Well,
I mean, Desmond that was it, Desmond Howard that was
the last one that won it.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Is that really the last one?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I mean, and I know Johnny Rodgers won it nineteen
seventy one, but I know Desmond Howard won it eighty
two or so.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
DeVonta Smith DeVante Smith Alabama now with the Eagles, but
he was twenty twenty. The last one before that was
Desmond Howard ninety one.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
So it had three and fifty years. Tim Brown eighty seven,
eighty seven, Thallas four zone. Yeah, but you know, white,
can't a wide receiver win it? I mean, I know
Jillian Sayings complete seventy nine percent of his passes, but
if he didn't have you know, Jeremiah to throw the
ball to, who's to say he would complete eighty percent
of him I'm sure he caught a few that weren't
in the right spot.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I guess we should also probably also include Travis Hunter
as well, but he I think of him more as
two way and defensive player. Special plays a few snaps.
I here, if a wide receiver can't win it, then
a linebacker that has double digit turnovers like Jacob Rodriguez does,
there's no way he can win it. I thought he
(02:45):
was a luck to be one of the four finalists.
The Saying one is the one that shocks me. Jeremiah
Love is the best running back in the country. He'll
go first running back off the board in April. Fernando
Mendoza another obvious choice.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
To me.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You're taking the quarterback from the number one team in
the country, especially when it's a quarterback driven team. I
really thought either Pavia or Saying it would be one
or the other, and then that fourth person would be
Jacob Rodriguez from Tech the linebacker. But I think it
(03:21):
feels like it's Mendoza's to lose, is it not.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I think it's already determined. I think I mean the
veg If Vegas says he's gonna win it, then you're
not gonna get any better odds. I'm gonna waste your
money betting on somebody else.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
What does poly market or Calshi say, because they're they're
the real identifiers of who's winning this thing.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, I think, uh, I think it's gonna be Mendoza.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Speaking of the NFL Draft, I don't know if you
saw this story. We talked about it briefly yesterday. They're
going to shorten the time between rounds from in the
first round between or between picks, between ten to ten
minutes to eight minutes.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Love it?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Make it five? Well, then how you can do the
trades that they do? I mean Draft Day, the movie
Draft Day was based on them making all the trades.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, and it was it was so realistic.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, yeah, I think if you're if you're, I mean,
the ten minutes was set up when you were doing
trades on a fax machine when the draft was being
held at a hotel conference room. Like it feels like yeah,
and the world moves a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You can text in two seconds you want to do this,
you want to do that? D I'll call it in.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, I think you've got I don't think I just
don't think you need as much time.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Here's here's my The way the story was presented yesterday
was the draft didn't end on the first night until
eleven forty five, and it started at seven and end
at eleven forty or eight and started eleven forty five
Eastern time, and that people want to go to bed,
so that by reducing thirty picks by two minutes, you
basically you get back an hour chop an hour. Yeah, Okay,
(04:56):
if you're watching the NFL Draft and you are a
big fan, you don't care if it lasts for twelve days.
You're you're already starting to work on your fantasy teams
based on the draft. Well, and I mean, I don't
Why do you why do you care about? To me,
it's the extra hour of selling ads. It's a way
to make more medals in per se. You know, I
would extend this till one o'clock in the morning if
(05:18):
I could.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
My guess is it might have something to do more
with the fact that they're doing the draft in like
big public parks now, and so maybe there's they.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Don't always abatement issue, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Or just getting people, you know, out of downtown city
centers before midnight.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Nothing happens good after midnight, right.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I don't know. Come spend one night on the East
Side with me. We have pretty pretty good times after
midnight pretty regularly.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I don't know. I think I could.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I think I have years of evidence that would push
back against that. Also, for the record, Calshi has Fernando
Mendoza ninety six percent chance to win.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So if you if you've bet on anybody else, you're
just throwing your money away.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, you're lighting it on fire. Basically.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Now, if you'd picked Fernando Mendoza back in August, oh buddy,
you would be in the wealthy range right now.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, I think you'd have a nice payout ahead of you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
So that that's uh. And that's kind of funny, the
cal sheet thing. It's still gambling, but now it's like
the stock market instead of like the casino.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
It's a great workaround. It is a great loophole. Give
Americans time and they.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Run away rightly. Well, And I like I said this
the other day, I know that there are studies that
say that when you have your state legalizes casinos and gambling,
that it brings another element of crime and the and
there's more people that lose their money than win money.
And it's people that are on a fixed income that
(06:49):
are blowing their solid security check and stuff. And every
one of these ads has a disclaimer on the side
of it. You know, please gamble responsibly. If you need help,
call the gambling tip line. I don't think you can
legislate morality, and I don't think you can legislate somebody
else's stupidity and everybody. And yes, I know some people
(07:12):
can't get past that, that gambling addiction or competition addiction,
however you look at it. But for those who can,
I don't think they should be penalized. And the and
the fact that the tax revenue from this is five
to ten billion dollars a year. As long as the
tax dollars are spent properly, then maybe we could get on.
(07:33):
This may be way too much to ask, but maybe
we can get a reduction in property tax or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, no, you're as soon as you say the phrase
as soon as the tax money can be spent properly,
you've lost it.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Like you've lost there's so manybody's pockets getting greased, right.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Thousand percent, no matter, it just depends on you know
which side is in powers, which side is getting the
pockets greased.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
All right, one more segment to go. We wrap up
the day next It's coming up on six four twenty
six on the ticket
