Speaker 9 (02:58):

Speaker 5 (03:02):
I know, well, three out of four right about normal?
Now USC, Chris is at the anchor desk. He'll keep
us updated throughout the program. What's up, high Rob? It
feels like this is now? It is?
Speaker 9 (03:15):
Yes, we are three for three on holidays in the
holiday season. We work together on Thanksgiving, Christmas and now
New Year's Thursday. That's true. Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Did you know Chris was my student at USC? He
always says this.
Speaker 9 (03:27):
I did not know what one of his first students
at USC the condiment to taking my course. But I
had just dropped a class. I just dropped a class,
and he ambushed me in the middle of USC and
and he he cornered Jewish and had really the hard
cell like some real some real like used car salesman,
like like any bar the door.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Like why would you want to go and go to
some other class? Like this is the class you want
to be in. Don't you recognize me?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Oh man?
Speaker 7 (03:57):
No?
Speaker 6 (03:58):
All good? Uh man. We got to great show for
you today.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
A lot of stuff to get to, you know, NFL
stuff's going on the hot seat.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Chris is doing the hot seat today. I'm looking forward
to that. Very nice.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
And then George Royster, rightter, I was gonna say Wrongster,
but George Reister gotcha, the former NFL tight end and
host of the Unafraid Show on YouTube. So George will
be joining us, which is very good. We'll do that
in our number three. We'll also have a last call
that's coming up as well.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
It's crazy. I don't know if he's going to be
too happy. I mean, the oorgan is taking the butt
whipping right now. No, he ain't gonna be a little cranky.
It'll be good though, to rub it in on them
a little bit. But yeah, if you haven't seen the score,
what is it still? Thirty eight to four to eight?
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Is it still? Is that? Where we are? Yep?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Okay, yeah, not good typical college football playoffs.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Games and scores. But we'll get to that.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
All right, here we go, But let's kick. Oh I
thought we were starting with something.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
No, here we go.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Let's set it so rob G, let's jump in, rob G,
I want you to uh set up what we have
going on with the NFL and then carry and I
will get into it.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
You mean, but the college football was around with Texas.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
Yes, so Texas of course won that thrilling game earlier
today it gets Arizona State double Overton.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
So who missed the field goal? Though?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Was that?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
So it was Texas?
Speaker 5 (05:25):
They could have won it op and regularly regularly, okay,
because I knew somebody missed the field.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
College kickers, man, I believe he missed two fields too.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Well, if you took down his football pants, they might
be brown, you know, Like, let's just be honest.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Well his last name is Auburn, so you know what
I mean.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Like, like, rob G, I know everybody thinks like it's
just a piece of cake. Like there's pressure there, right, Yeah,
of course there's big pressure. You know, you want to
be a big man on campus, so you want to
be you know, shun. It's the craziest position in the play.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
I mean you're out there as a quarterback or a
receiver or whatever your position is. You have chances to
make a mistake and you're gonna you can kind of
double down and and win some as well. But when
you're a kicker, those those opportunities are limited.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Yes, yeah, either you're that the man on campus or
they can't stand to yep.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
And so that kicker had his bacon saved by quinniers
because Quinn ears even though the interception, had a pretty
very solid day for Texas. Yeah twenty at thirty three,
twenty two through the air, three touchdowns. He also added
a couple of.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Shrimp cures, skewers, I'm sorry, oh man.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
And so you would think that after that game that
the whole thing was, Hey, Texas got the win, Sark advances,
Quinn yours does it again. However, there was a cloud
hanging over this team and above this program coming into
the game that still hasn't fully dissipated. That's because of
a couple of reports, one of them being that regardless
(06:53):
what happens during this playoff run with Texas.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Well win the national championship and it won't and it won't.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
Change him exactly whether they win the championship where they
get blown out and thrown out there before can it
play out. So the report is that Arch Manning will
be the starter in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Wow, no matter what that that's their plan. They're going
to move forward with them. Well, I figured that since.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
His uncle's going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
But that's another story. Go ahead.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
But so that of course leaves yours in an interesting situation.
Most had assumed that he would probably end up going
to the draft. He's projected somewhere between the second and
fourth round. However, before the game, and actually a couple
of days ago, was reported that several teams have already
contacted yours and his representatives, which would be illegal. This
(07:43):
is tampering because this team is still playing and have
said that if he's willing to forego the NFL Draft,
they have an NIL deal on the table for six
million dollars to come and play for our school next season.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
You're not going to play for Texas. We already know that.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
If you don't go to the draft, come play for
us and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
I saw that. Yeah. Well, I'm gonna say this, Carrie.
It's real simple.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
The reason you have the Wow Wild West going on
and the nil and all this and the other thing.
Dion said this and it's so true. Everybody ain't making
a million dollars. Who's playing college football? Okay, like stop
with everybody, because I hear people like, oh did you play?
They all getting paid their pro No, everybody's not getting paid.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
No, everybody, stop it.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
But the college football they're to blame for this because
instead of taking this by the Horns Carrie allocating the
kind of money that's going to be spent, taking it
out of their pocket, their money that they're getting from
the TV network, they're like, no, we're not Nope. Boosters.
(08:54):
What do they call those people who just donate money?
I think there's a word for him, the booster, but
there's some new word while people who just you know,
put up money and I'll get I can't remember what
they call it. But my point is, once you do
that and allow other people to get involved, you have no.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Control of this.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
They have allowed someone to dictate where people are going
because they refuse to pay. Set up a salary cap,
set up some rules and regulations. If it's your money,
you can do that. It's not your money, so they
can't say anything.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
They should have had a I guess this regulation thing
that should have happened And this is my idea when
I first heard about you know, in Io possibly happening,
right there could be a big pot of money and
the thing that would make players and I think you
know the guys that don't make the million millions of
dollars on that team stay committed to your program is
you get this allotment of money, you put it in
(09:54):
the pot and.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
You divv it out equally, Like now would you tier
the players?
Speaker 5 (10:00):
What I'm saying is, uh, everybody gets kind of classified, right,
I know what you mean.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
So just so it's like if you're an a player,
you b C and a d well a guy who
doesn't play, but that doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
But that part doesn't matter.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
If you get the big pot of money out, put
it there and you dig it out equally. The unknown
money that the boosters still are going to give you
anyway could compensate for the ones that are in the
different tiers you're saying. So, just for the money that
you get that you could bring in as a as
an organization from the boosters that you put aside, this
is what we have to offer.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
For the year.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
The players you bring in almost like like like a
free agency in the NFL, right, Like, we have this
amount of money to spend, the people we're bringing in
to come in to play will fall under the unbrelling.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
With digby it evenly.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
I think that would also even the plan field for
the talent that we see on the field as well.
Ohio State has more money to pay these players, and
so when you look at this team on when they're
playing at their best, they're the best team in the
in college football because they can pay the most money.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
They spent twenty million or something. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
It was something. That number is crazy. So that's was
it twenty million, rob g like Ohio State. It was
something like that. It's a crazy number. It's the players they.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Had, like Eboca. Things, name is Iboca from from Ohio State.
He could have went pro and came back because he's
making just as much money as he would have made
a right, it's crazy. It is crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
And if you're Quinn right, okay, I don't think there's
even a choice. He's not projected to be a top
pick in the first round, right, so, and never already
told you that they're moving on and they want to
get the other the baby Manning in right, So why
not put yourself in the portal, take six million, and
(11:47):
go somewhere else and play.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
I think it's a layout on thousand thousand percent right.
I mean the other alternative doesn't even match up to that.
You're going to be holding the clipboard in the NFL
and not making you know you'll get a four hundred
thousand dollars signing bonus when you get make sick million
playing college football and not be worried about it. He
can even stink it doesn't matter. And I'm not even
mad at the players.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
I think they deserve all that they get. They have
been taking advantage of way too long. I always said
the NCAA was organized crime. I mean I still to
this day. And then all these coaches now you know
who want to quit and oh, I just I can't
with the game. But they can bounce whenever they want.
(12:30):
They recruit, you go to your house, tell your parents this,
that and the other thing, and then they decide, oh yeah,
I got.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
A better deal.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I'm not even coaching the ball game, please, I got
to be ready to recruit. And then they frowned at
the kids. I just don't even get it.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Yeah, it's nuts.
Speaker 10 (12:49):
I know.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Obviously I came I came along a little bit too late.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
But you look at that there's actually I know that
some some players they have a carry. People would get
money when you played, not six million dollars. I say
that people were getting money. Yeah, people were getting a
little a little scratched.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I got you got but no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
not that kind. Because I remember when I was covering
Saint John's basketball and I remember the big scuttle butt
was about Chris Mullin had a no show job at
a car dealership, you know what I mean, like a
booster for Saint John's or whatever. And he had a
job and never showed up and they paid him every week,
(13:30):
you know what I mean, Like that's what they used
to do.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
Right Yeah, And I went to Louisville, So you're talking
about the basketball recruits.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
That was a different That was a different deal, right.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Well, guys, just to put into context what this six
million dollars would be, obviously would be the biggest nil
deal ever. So on three, the people who reported this
story the first time, and you know, these nil deals
are kind of under the table.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
No one really knows what they're getting.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
It's kind of again, and then there's some people who
have not gotten their money, you know, right because it's
not on the order.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:00):
Yeah, So there's three quarterbacks this year that transferred that
kind of everybody know. They're more of the household transfer quarterbacks.
Miami's Cam Ward who left Washington State, Ohio States. Will
Howard is putting on a show today in the Rose Bowl,
left Kansas State, Syracuse Kyle McCord who was forced out
of Ohio State so they could get Will Howard. Those
three guys combined, according to on three got four million
(14:23):
dollars combined for the three of them.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Yea and Quinn Ewers could get six, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Yeah, that makes more sense Rob that that number six
doesn't sound real pretty high, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Well it depends on depending on who you read.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
The teams that allegedly are involved in the situation are
two schools with very deep pockets, and that would be
Notre Dame in US.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Yeah, they got plenty of money. Well there you go.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Is the NCAA to blame for the nil Tampa into
college football? It's pretty uh, pretty obvious. And would you
encourage Quinn you'r how do you say quinn eros eros right?
Bob G Is that right?
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Queen yours? Yeah, yeah, yours. I want to say.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
You want to say uh uh to for go to
the NFL and take the six million dollars to stay
in college.
Speaker 6 (15:15):

(16:22):
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox the Nil you know,
the college football today fumble this like by not regulating it,
giving out the money, dictating this and setting this stuff up.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
And you know, now Quinn yours, yeah, yours, you got it.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Uh, he has a chance to get six million dollars
by going something right. That's what they say. That's at
least story. But yeah, but you're not even it's a
little too much for you. It sounds kind of hot,
it sounds it sounds high. Yeah, rob g that was that?
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Was that? By the Uh who's reporting that? He said
on three?
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Some on three And what they do is they basically
cover N I.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
L for college Okay, so on three that's that's their
bag of what they do. Okay, that's what they're saying.
You never know what the numbers they could be fugged.
Andrew in Bakersfield, California, you're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Happy New Year, my friend.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Happy new year, guys.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
How's it going doing great? We're happy to be here
for you.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, shout out to Kelvin, I missed it. I know
I can't but be what I want to be.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
All I wanna say is like the show with Kelvin
has been on for four months now? How many months?
Rob g September, October, November? Four months and now guest
hosts have had more shows than Kelvin. I think I'm
JUSTI he's picking right up where Chris.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
I'm just go ahead Andrew?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
All right, So the nil you know, I don't think
it should exist. I think they should get paid for
if they get in a video game, TV appearance, movie,
but I don't think they should have a shoe deal.
The reason is if they get a full ride scholarship,
it covers their food.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
No, no, no, I'm sorry, this is the problem with that,
Like like it's not in the schools, but like like
stop with the they're getting a free ride or whatever. Okay,
if that's a part of the budget. Having athletics a
part of college, then people show their IDs and they
(18:37):
get into the game for free because it's a part.
You know, this is not what this is. This is
people buying sweets for millions of dollars. Dude, you cannot
act like the money that's coming in is covering their tuition,
because it's just not they're making millions on millions on
millions of dollars off these sixty kids or eighty kids
(19:00):
or whatever. Do you know what I mean? Like like,
it's not and it's not college athletics. It's not Division two,
Division three where you're just playing and you're going to
that college and you know what I mean. No, this
is big time and what you have to put in
for and and work that you have to put to
play on this level and whatnot.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Oh, just a job. No, this is a job.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
And the hours that they have to put towards that
it says that that's that's true. That's what that is.
And then on top of that, you gotta do your
school work and all that. It's just it's a lot.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
It is.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Dre and Michigan. You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Dre? Happy new year?
Speaker 10 (19:37):
Hey, thank you, thank you, thank you. Appreciate your sentiment.
But you know, take care of the day to year,
take care of youself. I focus on today.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Brothers.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Yes, sir, I'm with you.
Speaker 10 (19:44):
Third hey, but I agree with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Man.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
It's funny with that last color. People are against capitalism
when it's for everybody else, but they also get socialists.
They four socialism when it's for them.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Right.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
It doesn't even make this right up, Dre, you're spot on.
Speaker 10 (20:00):
You think about this money. This money's lacrosse, golf, wrestling,
girls volleyball. Nobody's paying for that. But they still get
free sculptures, don't they Where no money come from?
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Thank you?
Speaker 10 (20:11):
Basketball play?
Speaker 5 (20:12):
That's what nobody wants to admit that nobody's buying a ticket, right,
They don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
That's who's footing the bill, that's right.
Speaker 10 (20:20):
And then the thing is, and I think we might
even talk about this back when they first talked about
the inn I L and we said NCW was gonna
regret it because they agreed control them, because they wanted
to keep the money to themselves, so they let somebody
else pay. But when you let somebody else pay the bills,
you got no control, right, that's what kicking them in
the butt right now.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
And that's what happened.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Thanks Drey, appreciate it, Paul, Yeah, you can't control it.
Are you gonna tell somebody else what to do with that? No,
you didn't want to You didn't want to put up
any money, so so you have no say.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Now it's the wild wild West.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
You you got kids not showing up on game day
because they didn't get that check. It's like, no, you
got to pay me to play. Now it's a different
animal that.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
It's so crazy, no doubt about it, all right, The
Vegas odds makers got it wrong.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
We'll explain that next, but first be.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple with
Chris Brussard and Rob Parker weekdays at seven pm Eastern

this New Year's Day at worship Wednesday, and we're coming

Las Vegas got it wrong. And what we're talking about
(21:37):

Jackson is not the favorite.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
He has not been the favorite about a month now,
right for about a month.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
But I could see, Carrie, the tides have turned, like
with a lot of analysts and a lot of people
because they've watched what's taking place, and I think it's
clear to you and me love the hear your take
on Lamar, and I just think he's in a better spot.
Josh Allen is just going to start the game and
really not play, I think, just to get his iron
(22:09):
Man game start or whatever, which is silly if you're
not playing. But anyway, but lamars in a big game,
if he could have a big first half, you know
what against the Browns, get three or four touchdowns, look great,
and his team wins the division. Don't forget they started
oh and two and ninety one percent of teams that
(22:29):
start owing to do not.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Make the playoff one hundred percent.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Yeah, No, Lamar's in a driver's seat as far as
being able to have another game to showcase what he
can do. We already know what he can do, obviously,
but it comes out there in blazes and has a
good game. Obviously, it's what have you done for me lately?
And people get obviously enamored by that. You already know
my stands on Lamar.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
I think we saw it last year though, on the
Christmas Day game against the forty nine ers. Remember, Lamar
came out balled out going into that game, people thought
that Brock Purdy was the MVP.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
That's right, Josh.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
Allen is I mean in my you know, in my
opinion right now, I would you know me, I'm a
Lamar guy. I would give it to Josh at this moment.
But again, prisoners of the moment like we are, most
people are in this in this world. Now, a big
game by Lamar is not going to go unnoticed, and
so he's going to have to go out and prove
it to the and and he will.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
And if he does that, then you know, here's why.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
I just think there are two things that to me
work against Josh Allen, and he's had a fantastic season.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Yeah. Number one, where Lamar is quarterback rating wise? Okay, yeah, if.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
He finishes where he is, rob je I think is
one twenty one point six.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Number three right now.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Number three, all times Aaron Rodgers has the first two slots,
then it would be Lamar and then the fourth one
would be the third guy before slot would be Peyton Manning.
There's not like a fluke in there. He's an all
all time great quarterback. So right there. Number two, there
have been seven quarterbacks who have thrown for more than
(24:04):
thirty five touchdowns, less than six interceptions out of those
seven six and won the MVP. The one guy who
did not win was Patrick Mahomes in twenty twenty. You
know why didn't win because Aaron Rodgers won the MVP
doing the same having a similar stat So everybody who
(24:28):
has those numbers, that quarterback.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Became the MVP.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Yeah, and do you see so you would be bucking
against that if Lamar's not like those are those are
two big stats there.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
And the thing about this whole argument or the discussion
around the MVP and Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, whatever
it is.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Case Kan's out of it now, won't you say that
because you're not gonna get the record.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
You're not gonna get the records. And yes, that's between
those two.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Henry a couple of years ago when he's with the Titans, right,
he had two thousands.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
He didn't get he didn't get one vote for VP.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
He didn't did you know that he got he didn't
get one vote.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
But the discourse around him, for me, which is kind
of sickening, is all those you know, those people that
were saying that the MVP races over four weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
It was just it was just.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Bad takes, and it's just it's become this culture of premature, premature.
It becomes the culture of people trying to be the
first one to say something. And what makes it even
more bad for me is some of those people have
actual MVP votes and for them to be saying that
at that point and saying it's just it's solely based
(25:44):
off of you know, he's playing well, but it's solely
based off voters fatigue. It's just the baddest take I've
ever heard in my life. And that was Tony Romo.
I'm gonna call him out.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
I heard the same and I'm like, Tony, please, where
were you when Brett Favre.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Won three MVPs in a row?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Come on, man, stop, we saw that happen in the NBA.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
They didn't want to give it to the Joker.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Remember, oh, how are you going to give it to
him three years in a row and he hadn't even
been to the finals or what I guess was that
happened that year he went to the finals and won
the finals MVP and put on a historic performance throughout
the postseason. Because you were so busy worrying about him
having three MVPs, and it's.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Not fair, and no, whoever is the best player during
that year should get the MVP.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
I don't care how many one before, how many potentially
could win down the road, none of that should matter.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
And that taints it. Though. If you're already saying that
I got.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Fatigued voting for this guy just because he's already won it,
I know the awards tain't it, right, It's not authentic anyway,
And so that's that's my problem.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Do you remember the guy?
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Do you remember the guy Rob g who was it
the herb archib I'm sorry what I call them?
Speaker 8 (27:01):
The one who said he wasn't going to vote for
Aaron Rodgers because he thought it was a bad guy.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Right like like before the season started. I don't know,
did he win the MVP that year? This before the
season and everybody was like he should have his vote
taking away.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
That's not what it is, right, So what if you
don't like the guy?
Speaker 5 (27:18):
That's and I've said this time and time again for
all the people always like carry Oh the writers this
the writers that can First of all, a lot of
these awards are the writers awards that teams adopted in baseball.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Did you know that?
Speaker 5 (27:33):
I think the Baseball Awards, MVP, they were all baseball
writers awards that Baseball embraced.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Okay, so here's my thing.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Every time I hear the writers this writer is that
Barry Bonds hated the writers. Okay, this had no use
for us. How many MVPs did he win?
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Seven? Who voted for him? Writers? Seven times? MVP? You
know why he was the best player? Come on with that.
You can't it can't be that. It can't be personal,
it can't.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Be your credibility is killed Barry Bonds because he wasn't
a nice guy of the writers, didn't win any MVPs
during his career.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
What credibility would we have as reporter? And that's my
point with it.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
That was the That's the part about this discussion that
irks me the most. And people that are on TV
as well, that have these platforms in front of millions
of meanings of people saying these things, it's like, what so, yeah,
I'm yeah, that's what I hate the most about it all.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
I don't even know how how a guy.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
We even played, like Tony Romo, who knows how hard
it is to play exactly and excel at that level
to just discount it as well, he won already, like for.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
Real, what like, that's not your place to say that.
It's just not it's not your place to say that.
And so that's the part.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
If you want to say you want to pick Josh Allen,
I respect that. Say that, mate, say Josh Allen, and
here's the reasons why.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
That's all you have to say.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Stop pitting the players against each other and saying they
can't win because of something. It doesn't matter about that, right,
who are you voting for this?
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Say?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Right, Okay, I think Josh Allen because he doesn't have
this or he's done this or whatever. And I'm gonna
look past the numbers that aren't even close. I mean,
his quarterback rating is like one oh one and Lamar's
is one twenty one.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
His numbers stack up more more comfortable with Sam Donold.
Why you look at the numbers? Sam Donalds throw a
few more interceptions, but everything else is more online with
that crazy all right? It is the odd couple on
a worship Wednesday. And it wasn't easy, but the powers
that made the but the powers to be made the
(29:49):
right decision.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
We'll talk about that.

I did finish over five hundred last year for the picks.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
We're gonna keep track of them all your thanks, lebron So.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
But the last night I was two and one, which
we're not counting in the new year. But last the
last last bet of the year two and one. So
here we go tonight. As you noticed, was posted on
social media. Our guy Elijah does a great job.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
I have the stay.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Yeah, so Ohio State minus two and a half. Canage?
We think I got that covered? Two and a half? Yeah,
I might have that covered.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
All right.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
That was the best bet, the Detroit Pistons minus one
and a half.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
And I think the.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Pistons are winning big. I think that's a good one.
Another one, and now here was a tricky one. I
took the Washington Wizards plus six and a half. Chris,
you got to score on Washington. I got a had
Washington plus six and a half.
Speaker 9 (32:28):
Can we Yeah, Wizards are up thirty eight thirty two
right now, seven minutes in the second court, take it
playing they're both the bulls.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
I just was like, that was just a feel because
the Wizards are terrible.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
All right, So again Wizards plus six and a half,
Pistons minus one and a half at Ohio State minus
two and a half. And remember carry, I'm not telling
you who to bet on. I'm telling you who I
bet on.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
All right.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
We uh talked about it doing the update a little bit,
but the Sugar Bowl, we know, canceled down in New Orleans. Yeah,
the reported terrorist attack sad, at least ten people have
been killed. God drove a truck in the people an explosive.
I'm just crazy. And as much as we love sports,
(33:18):
it's the right thing to do, Carrie, I don't even
think that, Like if your officials down, who wants to
go to a game today when people died because they
were trying to be out having a good time on
New Year's Eve.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Yeah, No, it's definitely the right thing to do. Man.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
I'd send my heartfelt condolences to everybody that's been affected
by it.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
But yeah, it's one of those things. Man, It's crazy.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
It's dangerous to be out in big groups right now,
and that sucks for just us as humans, right like
being able to go enjoy a football game with your
family or enjoy New Year's Eve with your family and
have to worry about things like that. It's just it's sickening.
It's sad, and it's such a sad state for.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
Us to be in. So it's tough.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
And you know, when you think about and there's plenty
and thank god, most places you wind up it's okay,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
We congregate a lot, Yes.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
For games. We just saw New York City for the
ball dropping in Times Square. Have you ever been out there?
I've never been out there to stuff, but it's an
incredible amount of people, a lot of.
Speaker 7 (34:23):
People, it's yeah, I mean, and people want to experience
certain things like that with their families and like I said,
have a good time and just be with everybody.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
You want to go out to Rockefeller Senator watch the
Christmas tree lighting, you know, like there's a lot of
things that you want to do and go out and
you don't want to live second guessing yourself. Yeah, like
you can never go anywhere or never be outside.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
That's not I can't live life like well, you.
Speaker 7 (34:46):
Can't live in fear about anything, right, right, So I
understand people still doing it, but it's just it's just
a sad state of affairs when this is becoming the norm,
and so it's just it's a tough it's a tough situation, right.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
I can remember an umpire, I just I don't know why.
I just forgot his name. Major league umpire died on
the field before the game, the Reds home opener, really,
and the story behind it was that the owner at
the time, Mark Shot, wanted to play the game and
(35:19):
the players, Eric Davis and Barry Larkin were two of
the big stars for the Reds, were like, oh no, like,
we're not playing the guy. The guy on the field.
The guy died on the field before you know what
I mean? Yeah, no, I think I need to check.
I don't think it was John McSherry. I gotta find
a name. I don't want to say it, but but yeah,
(35:41):
the umpire. He died during before the game opening day.
And now I get it. And that's why the only
reason I bring it up is it's an inconvenience for everybody.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
We get it.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Everybody's down there and they took the day off right,
they have to work tomorrow exactly whatever, Right, And like
you came down there for that, and now you're gonna
have to I gotta stay another night in the hotel.
I got it. I'm supposed to go back to work,
you know what I mean. There's a lot of people
in a tough spot.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
Yes, but there are people that died, No, and they can't.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
Do any of that. They don't have to make any
of those decisions. So yeah, it's the right thing to do.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
It is the right thing to do, and I'm glad
that the officials down there didn't even entertain that.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
All Right, coming up next, talking about another right move.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
I think it was the right move the whole alt
sakuon Barkley, I really do.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
We'll talk about that and much more.

I know, well, three out of four right about normal?
Now USC, Chris is at the anchor desk. He'll keep

Speaker 9 (03:15):
Yes, we are three for three on holidays in the

New Year's Thursday. That's true. Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Did you know Chris was my student at USC? He
always says this.
Speaker 9 (03:27):
I did not know what one of his first students
at USC the condiment to taking my course. But I
had just dropped a class. I just dropped a class,
and he ambushed me in the middle of USC and
and he he cornered Jewish and had really the hard
cell like some real some real like used car salesman,
like like any bar the door.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Like why would you want to go and go to
some other class? Like this is the class you want
to be in. Don't you recognize me?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Oh man?
Speaker 7 (03:57):
No?
Speaker 6 (03:58):
All good? Uh man. We got to great show for
you today.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
A lot of stuff to get to, you know, NFL
stuff's going on the hot seat.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Chris is doing the hot seat today. I'm looking forward
to that. Very nice.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
And then George Royster, rightter, I was gonna say Wrongster,
but George Reister gotcha, the former NFL tight end and
host of the Unafraid Show on YouTube. So George will
be joining us, which is very good. We'll do that
in our number three. We'll also have a last call
that's coming up as well.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
It's crazy. I don't know if he's going to be
too happy. I mean, the oorgan is taking the butt
whipping right now. No, he ain't gonna be a little cranky.
It'll be good though, to rub it in on them
a little bit. But yeah, if you haven't seen the score,
what is it still? Thirty eight to four to eight?
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Is it still? Is that? Where we are? Yep?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Okay, yeah, not good typical college football playoffs.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Games and scores. But we'll get to that.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
All right, here we go, But let's kick. Oh I
thought we were starting with something.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
No, here we go.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Let's set it so rob G, let's jump in, rob G,
I want you to uh set up what we have
going on with the NFL and then carry and I
will get into it.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
You mean, but the college football was around with Texas.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
Yes, so Texas of course won that thrilling game earlier
today it gets Arizona State double Overton.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
So who missed the field goal? Though?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Was that?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
So it was Texas?
Speaker 5 (05:25):
They could have won it op and regularly regularly, okay,
because I knew somebody missed the field.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
College kickers, man, I believe he missed two fields too.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Well, if you took down his football pants, they might
be brown, you know, Like, let's just be honest.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Well his last name is Auburn, so you know what
I mean.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Like, like, rob G, I know everybody thinks like it's
just a piece of cake. Like there's pressure there, right, Yeah,
of course there's big pressure. You know, you want to
be a big man on campus, so you want to
be you know, shun. It's the craziest position in the play.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
I mean you're out there as a quarterback or a
receiver or whatever your position is. You have chances to
make a mistake and you're gonna you can kind of
double down and and win some as well. But when
you're a kicker, those those opportunities are limited.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Yes, yeah, either you're that the man on campus or
they can't stand to yep.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
And so that kicker had his bacon saved by quinniers
because Quinn ears even though the interception, had a pretty
very solid day for Texas. Yeah twenty at thirty three,
twenty two through the air, three touchdowns. He also added
a couple of.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Shrimp cures, skewers, I'm sorry, oh man.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
And so you would think that after that game that
the whole thing was, Hey, Texas got the win, Sark advances,
Quinn yours does it again. However, there was a cloud
hanging over this team and above this program coming into
the game that still hasn't fully dissipated. That's because of
a couple of reports, one of them being that regardless
(06:53):
what happens during this playoff run with Texas.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Well win the national championship and it won't and it won't.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
Change him exactly whether they win the championship where they
get blown out and thrown out there before can it
play out. So the report is that Arch Manning will
be the starter in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Wow, no matter what that that's their plan. They're going
to move forward with them. Well, I figured that since.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
His uncle's going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
But that's another story. Go ahead.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
But so that of course leaves yours in an interesting situation.
Most had assumed that he would probably end up going
to the draft. He's projected somewhere between the second and
fourth round. However, before the game, and actually a couple
of days ago, was reported that several teams have already
contacted yours and his representatives, which would be illegal. This
(07:43):
is tampering because this team is still playing and have
said that if he's willing to forego the NFL Draft,
they have an NIL deal on the table for six
million dollars to come and play for our school next season.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
You're not going to play for Texas. We already know that.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
If you don't go to the draft, come play for
us and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
I saw that. Yeah. Well, I'm gonna say this, Carrie.
It's real simple.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
The reason you have the Wow Wild West going on
and the nil and all this and the other thing.
Dion said this and it's so true. Everybody ain't making
a million dollars. Who's playing college football? Okay, like stop
with everybody, because I hear people like, oh did you play?
They all getting paid their pro No, everybody's not getting paid.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
No, everybody, stop it.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
But the college football they're to blame for this because
instead of taking this by the Horns Carrie allocating the
kind of money that's going to be spent, taking it
out of their pocket, their money that they're getting from
the TV network, they're like, no, we're not Nope. Boosters.
(08:54):
What do they call those people who just donate money?
I think there's a word for him, the booster, but
there's some new word while people who just you know,
put up money and I'll get I can't remember what
they call it. But my point is, once you do
that and allow other people to get involved, you have no.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Control of this.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
They have allowed someone to dictate where people are going
because they refuse to pay. Set up a salary cap,
set up some rules and regulations. If it's your money,
you can do that. It's not your money, so they
can't say anything.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
They should have had a I guess this regulation thing
that should have happened And this is my idea when
I first heard about you know, in Io possibly happening,
right there could be a big pot of money and
the thing that would make players and I think you
know the guys that don't make the million millions of
dollars on that team stay committed to your program is
you get this allotment of money, you put it in
(09:54):
the pot and.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
You divv it out equally, Like now would you tier
the players?
Speaker 5 (10:00):
What I'm saying is, uh, everybody gets kind of classified, right,
I know what you mean.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
So just so it's like if you're an a player,
you b C and a d well a guy who
doesn't play, but that doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
But that part doesn't matter.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
If you get the big pot of money out, put
it there and you dig it out equally. The unknown
money that the boosters still are going to give you
anyway could compensate for the ones that are in the
different tiers you're saying. So, just for the money that
you get that you could bring in as a as
an organization from the boosters that you put aside, this
is what we have to offer.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
For the year.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
The players you bring in almost like like like a
free agency in the NFL, right, Like, we have this
amount of money to spend, the people we're bringing in
to come in to play will fall under the unbrelling.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
With digby it evenly.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
I think that would also even the plan field for
the talent that we see on the field as well.
Ohio State has more money to pay these players, and
so when you look at this team on when they're
playing at their best, they're the best team in the
in college football because they can pay the most money.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
They spent twenty million or something. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
It was something. That number is crazy. So that's was
it twenty million, rob g like Ohio State. It was
something like that. It's a crazy number. It's the players they.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Had, like Eboca. Things, name is Iboca from from Ohio State.
He could have went pro and came back because he's
making just as much money as he would have made
a right, it's crazy. It is crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
And if you're Quinn right, okay, I don't think there's
even a choice. He's not projected to be a top
pick in the first round, right, so, and never already
told you that they're moving on and they want to
get the other the baby Manning in right, So why
not put yourself in the portal, take six million, and
(11:47):
go somewhere else and play.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
I think it's a layout on thousand thousand percent right.
I mean the other alternative doesn't even match up to that.
You're going to be holding the clipboard in the NFL
and not making you know you'll get a four hundred
thousand dollars signing bonus when you get make sick million
playing college football and not be worried about it. He
can even stink it doesn't matter. And I'm not even
mad at the players.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
I think they deserve all that they get. They have
been taking advantage of way too long. I always said
the NCAA was organized crime. I mean I still to
this day. And then all these coaches now you know
who want to quit and oh, I just I can't
with the game. But they can bounce whenever they want.
(12:30):
They recruit, you go to your house, tell your parents this,
that and the other thing, and then they decide, oh yeah,
I got.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
A better deal.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I'm not even coaching the ball game, please, I got
to be ready to recruit. And then they frowned at
the kids. I just don't even get it.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Yeah, it's nuts.
Speaker 10 (12:49):
I know.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Obviously I came I came along a little bit too late.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
But you look at that there's actually I know that
some some players they have a carry. People would get
money when you played, not six million dollars. I say
that people were getting money. Yeah, people were getting a
little a little scratched.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I got you got but no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
not that kind. Because I remember when I was covering
Saint John's basketball and I remember the big scuttle butt
was about Chris Mullin had a no show job at
a car dealership, you know what I mean, like a
booster for Saint John's or whatever. And he had a
job and never showed up and they paid him every week,
(13:30):
you know what I mean, Like that's what they used
to do.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
Right Yeah, And I went to Louisville, So you're talking
about the basketball recruits.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
That was a different That was a different deal, right.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Well, guys, just to put into context what this six
million dollars would be, obviously would be the biggest nil
deal ever. So on three, the people who reported this
story the first time, and you know, these nil deals
are kind of under the table.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
No one really knows what they're getting.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
It's kind of again, and then there's some people who
have not gotten their money, you know, right because it's
not on the order.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:00):
Yeah, So there's three quarterbacks this year that transferred that
kind of everybody know. They're more of the household transfer quarterbacks.
Miami's Cam Ward who left Washington State, Ohio States. Will
Howard is putting on a show today in the Rose Bowl,
left Kansas State, Syracuse Kyle McCord who was forced out
of Ohio State so they could get Will Howard. Those
three guys combined, according to on three got four million
(14:23):
dollars combined for the three of them.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Yea and Quinn Ewers could get six, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Yeah, that makes more sense Rob that that number six
doesn't sound real pretty high, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Well it depends on depending on who you read.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
The teams that allegedly are involved in the situation are
two schools with very deep pockets, and that would be
Notre Dame in US.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Yeah, they got plenty of money. Well there you go.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Is the NCAA to blame for the nil Tampa into
college football? It's pretty uh, pretty obvious. And would you
encourage Quinn you'r how do you say quinn eros eros right?
Bob G Is that right?
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Queen yours? Yeah, yeah, yours. I want to say.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
You want to say uh uh to for go to
the NFL and take the six million dollars to stay
in college.

(16:22):
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox the Nil you know,
the college football today fumble this like by not regulating it,
giving out the money, dictating this and setting this stuff up.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
And you know, now Quinn yours, yeah, yours, you got it.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Uh, he has a chance to get six million dollars
by going something right. That's what they say. That's at
least story. But yeah, but you're not even it's a
little too much for you. It sounds kind of hot,
it sounds it sounds high. Yeah, rob g that was that?
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Was that? By the Uh who's reporting that? He said
on three?
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Some on three And what they do is they basically
cover N I.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
L for college Okay, so on three that's that's their
bag of what they do. Okay, that's what they're saying.
You never know what the numbers they could be fugged.
Andrew in Bakersfield, California, you're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Happy New Year, my friend.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Happy new year, guys.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
How's it going doing great? We're happy to be here
for you.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, shout out to Kelvin, I missed it. I know
I can't but be what I want to be.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
All I wanna say is like the show with Kelvin
has been on for four months now? How many months?
Rob g September, October, November? Four months and now guest
hosts have had more shows than Kelvin. I think I'm
JUSTI he's picking right up where Chris.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
I'm just go ahead Andrew?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
All right, So the nil you know, I don't think
it should exist. I think they should get paid for
if they get in a video game, TV appearance, movie,
but I don't think they should have a shoe deal.
The reason is if they get a full ride scholarship,
it covers their food.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
No, no, no, I'm sorry, this is the problem with that,
Like like it's not in the schools, but like like
stop with the they're getting a free ride or whatever. Okay,
if that's a part of the budget. Having athletics a
part of college, then people show their IDs and they
(18:37):
get into the game for free because it's a part.
You know, this is not what this is. This is
people buying sweets for millions of dollars. Dude, you cannot
act like the money that's coming in is covering their tuition,
because it's just not they're making millions on millions on
millions of dollars off these sixty kids or eighty kids
(19:00):
or whatever. Do you know what I mean? Like like,
it's not and it's not college athletics. It's not Division two,
Division three where you're just playing and you're going to
that college and you know what I mean. No, this
is big time and what you have to put in
for and and work that you have to put to
play on this level and whatnot.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Oh, just a job. No, this is a job.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
And the hours that they have to put towards that
it says that that's that's true. That's what that is.
And then on top of that, you gotta do your
school work and all that. It's just it's a lot.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
It is.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Dre and Michigan. You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Dre? Happy new year?
Speaker 10 (19:37):
Hey, thank you, thank you, thank you. Appreciate your sentiment.
But you know, take care of the day to year,
take care of youself. I focus on today.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Brothers.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Yes, sir, I'm with you.
Speaker 10 (19:44):
Third hey, but I agree with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Man.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
It's funny with that last color. People are against capitalism
when it's for everybody else, but they also get socialists.
They four socialism when it's for them.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Right.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
It doesn't even make this right up, Dre, you're spot on.
Speaker 10 (20:00):
You think about this money. This money's lacrosse, golf, wrestling,
girls volleyball. Nobody's paying for that. But they still get
free sculptures, don't they Where no money come from?
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Thank you?
Speaker 10 (20:11):
Basketball play?
Speaker 5 (20:12):
That's what nobody wants to admit that nobody's buying a ticket, right,
They don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
That's who's footing the bill, that's right.
Speaker 10 (20:20):
And then the thing is, and I think we might
even talk about this back when they first talked about
the inn I L and we said NCW was gonna
regret it because they agreed control them, because they wanted
to keep the money to themselves, so they let somebody
else pay. But when you let somebody else pay the bills,
you got no control, right, that's what kicking them in
the butt right now.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
And that's what happened.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Thanks Drey, appreciate it, Paul, Yeah, you can't control it.
Are you gonna tell somebody else what to do with that? No,
you didn't want to You didn't want to put up
any money, so so you have no say.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Now it's the wild wild West.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
You you got kids not showing up on game day
because they didn't get that check. It's like, no, you
got to pay me to play. Now it's a different
animal that.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
It's so crazy, no doubt about it, all right, The
Vegas odds makers got it wrong.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
We'll explain that next, but first be.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple with
Chris Brussard and Rob Parker weekdays at seven pm Eastern
four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
It is The Odd Couple, Rob Parker, Carrie Rhoades on
this New Year's Day at worship Wednesday, and we're coming
to you live from the tire rack dot Com studios.
And we talked about it that the odd makers in
Las Vegas got it wrong. And what we're talking about
(21:37):
is the latest odds Rob g Wright, is that Lamar
Jackson is not the favorite.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
He has not been the favorite about a month now,
right for about a month.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
But I could see, Carrie, the tides have turned, like
with a lot of analysts and a lot of people
because they've watched what's taking place, and I think it's
clear to you and me love the hear your take
on Lamar, and I just think he's in a better spot.
Josh Allen is just going to start the game and
really not play, I think, just to get his iron
(22:09):
Man game start or whatever, which is silly if you're
not playing. But anyway, but lamars in a big game,
if he could have a big first half, you know
what against the Browns, get three or four touchdowns, look great,
and his team wins the division. Don't forget they started
oh and two and ninety one percent of teams that
(22:29):
start owing to do not.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Make the playoff one hundred percent.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Yeah, No, Lamar's in a driver's seat as far as
being able to have another game to showcase what he
can do. We already know what he can do, obviously,
but it comes out there in blazes and has a
good game. Obviously, it's what have you done for me lately?
And people get obviously enamored by that. You already know
my stands on Lamar.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
I think we saw it last year though, on the
Christmas Day game against the forty nine ers. Remember, Lamar
came out balled out going into that game, people thought
that Brock Purdy was the MVP.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
That's right, Josh.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
Allen is I mean in my you know, in my
opinion right now, I would you know me, I'm a
Lamar guy. I would give it to Josh at this moment.
But again, prisoners of the moment like we are, most
people are in this in this world. Now, a big
game by Lamar is not going to go unnoticed, and
so he's going to have to go out and prove
it to the and and he will.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
And if he does that, then you know, here's why.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
I just think there are two things that to me
work against Josh Allen, and he's had a fantastic season.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Yeah. Number one, where Lamar is quarterback rating wise? Okay, yeah, if.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
He finishes where he is, rob je I think is
one twenty one point six.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Number three right now.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Number three, all times Aaron Rodgers has the first two slots,
then it would be Lamar and then the fourth one
would be the third guy before slot would be Peyton Manning.
There's not like a fluke in there. He's an all
all time great quarterback. So right there. Number two, there
have been seven quarterbacks who have thrown for more than
(24:04):
thirty five touchdowns, less than six interceptions out of those
seven six and won the MVP. The one guy who
did not win was Patrick Mahomes in twenty twenty. You
know why didn't win because Aaron Rodgers won the MVP
doing the same having a similar stat So everybody who
(24:28):
has those numbers, that quarterback.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Became the MVP.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Yeah, and do you see so you would be bucking
against that if Lamar's not like those are those are
two big stats there.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
And the thing about this whole argument or the discussion
around the MVP and Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, whatever
it is.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Case Kan's out of it now, won't you say that
because you're not gonna get the record.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
You're not gonna get the records. And yes, that's between
those two.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Henry a couple of years ago when he's with the Titans, right,
he had two thousands.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
He didn't get he didn't get one vote for VP.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
He didn't did you know that he got he didn't
get one vote.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
But the discourse around him, for me, which is kind
of sickening, is all those you know, those people that
were saying that the MVP races over four weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
It was just it was just.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Bad takes, and it's just it's become this culture of premature, premature.
It becomes the culture of people trying to be the
first one to say something. And what makes it even
more bad for me is some of those people have
actual MVP votes and for them to be saying that
at that point and saying it's just it's solely based
(25:44):
off of you know, he's playing well, but it's solely
based off voters fatigue. It's just the baddest take I've
ever heard in my life. And that was Tony Romo.
I'm gonna call him out.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
I heard the same and I'm like, Tony, please, where
were you when Brett Favre.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Won three MVPs in a row?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Come on, man, stop, we saw that happen in the NBA.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
They didn't want to give it to the Joker.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Remember, oh, how are you going to give it to
him three years in a row and he hadn't even
been to the finals or what I guess was that
happened that year he went to the finals and won
the finals MVP and put on a historic performance throughout
the postseason. Because you were so busy worrying about him
having three MVPs, and it's.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Not fair, and no, whoever is the best player during
that year should get the MVP.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
I don't care how many one before, how many potentially
could win down the road, none of that should matter.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
And that taints it. Though. If you're already saying that
I got.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Fatigued voting for this guy just because he's already won it,
I know the awards tain't it, right, It's not authentic anyway,
And so that's that's my problem.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Do you remember the guy?
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Do you remember the guy Rob g who was it
the herb archib I'm sorry what I call them?
Speaker 8 (27:01):
The one who said he wasn't going to vote for
Aaron Rodgers because he thought it was a bad guy.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Right like like before the season started. I don't know,
did he win the MVP that year? This before the
season and everybody was like he should have his vote
taking away.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
That's not what it is, right, So what if you
don't like the guy?
Speaker 5 (27:18):
That's and I've said this time and time again for
all the people always like carry Oh the writers this
the writers that can First of all, a lot of
these awards are the writers awards that teams adopted in baseball.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Did you know that?
Speaker 5 (27:33):
I think the Baseball Awards, MVP, they were all baseball
writers awards that Baseball embraced.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Okay, so here's my thing.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Every time I hear the writers this writer is that
Barry Bonds hated the writers. Okay, this had no use
for us. How many MVPs did he win?
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Seven? Who voted for him? Writers? Seven times? MVP? You
know why he was the best player? Come on with that.
You can't it can't be that. It can't be personal,
it can't.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Be your credibility is killed Barry Bonds because he wasn't
a nice guy of the writers, didn't win any MVPs
during his career.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
What credibility would we have as reporter? And that's my
point with it.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
That was the That's the part about this discussion that
irks me the most. And people that are on TV
as well, that have these platforms in front of millions
of meanings of people saying these things, it's like, what so, yeah,
I'm yeah, that's what I hate the most about it all.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
I don't even know how how a guy.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
We even played, like Tony Romo, who knows how hard
it is to play exactly and excel at that level
to just discount it as well, he won already, like for.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
Real, what like, that's not your place to say that.
It's just not it's not your place to say that.
And so that's the part.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
If you want to say you want to pick Josh Allen,
I respect that. Say that, mate, say Josh Allen, and
here's the reasons why.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
That's all you have to say.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Stop pitting the players against each other and saying they
can't win because of something. It doesn't matter about that, right,
who are you voting for this?
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Say?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Right, Okay, I think Josh Allen because he doesn't have
this or he's done this or whatever. And I'm gonna
look past the numbers that aren't even close. I mean,
his quarterback rating is like one oh one and Lamar's
is one twenty one.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
His numbers stack up more more comfortable with Sam Donold.
Why you look at the numbers? Sam Donalds throw a
few more interceptions, but everything else is more online with
that crazy all right? It is the odd couple on
a worship Wednesday. And it wasn't easy, but the powers
that made the but the powers to be made the

We think I got that covered? Two and a half? Yeah,
I might have that covered.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
All right.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
That was the best bet, the Detroit Pistons minus one
and a half.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
And I think the.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Pistons are winning big. I think that's a good one.
Another one, and now here was a tricky one. I
took the Washington Wizards plus six and a half. Chris,
you got to score on Washington. I got a had
Washington plus six and a half.
Speaker 9 (32:28):
Can we Yeah, Wizards are up thirty eight thirty two
right now, seven minutes in the second court, take it
playing they're both the bulls.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
I just was like, that was just a feel because
the Wizards are terrible.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
All right, So again Wizards plus six and a half,
Pistons minus one and a half at Ohio State minus
two and a half. And remember carry, I'm not telling
you who to bet on. I'm telling you who I
bet on.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
All right.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
We uh talked about it doing the update a little bit,
but the Sugar Bowl, we know, canceled down in New Orleans. Yeah,
the reported terrorist attack sad, at least ten people have
been killed. God drove a truck in the people an explosive.
I'm just crazy. And as much as we love sports,
(33:18):
it's the right thing to do, Carrie, I don't even
think that, Like if your officials down, who wants to
go to a game today when people died because they
were trying to be out having a good time on
New Year's Eve.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Yeah, No, it's definitely the right thing to do. Man.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
I'd send my heartfelt condolences to everybody that's been affected
by it.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
But yeah, it's one of those things. Man, It's crazy.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
It's dangerous to be out in big groups right now,
and that sucks for just us as humans, right like
being able to go enjoy a football game with your
family or enjoy New Year's Eve with your family and
have to worry about things like that. It's just it's sickening.
It's sad, and it's such a sad state for.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
Us to be in. So it's tough.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
And you know, when you think about and there's plenty
and thank god, most places you wind up it's okay,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
We congregate a lot, Yes.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
For games. We just saw New York City for the
ball dropping in Times Square. Have you ever been out there?
I've never been out there to stuff, but it's an
incredible amount of people, a lot of.
Speaker 7 (34:23):
People, it's yeah, I mean, and people want to experience
certain things like that with their families and like I said,
have a good time and just be with everybody.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
You want to go out to Rockefeller Senator watch the
Christmas tree lighting, you know, like there's a lot of
things that you want to do and go out and
you don't want to live second guessing yourself. Yeah, like
you can never go anywhere or never be outside.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
That's not I can't live life like well, you.
Speaker 7 (34:46):
Can't live in fear about anything, right, right, So I
understand people still doing it, but it's just it's just
a sad state of affairs when this is becoming the norm,
and so it's just it's a tough it's a tough situation, right.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
I can remember an umpire, I just I don't know why.
I just forgot his name. Major league umpire died on
the field before the game, the Reds home opener, really,
and the story behind it was that the owner at
the time, Mark Shot, wanted to play the game and
(35:19):
the players, Eric Davis and Barry Larkin were two of
the big stars for the Reds, were like, oh no, like,
we're not playing the guy. The guy on the field.
The guy died on the field before you know what
I mean? Yeah, no, I think I need to check.
I don't think it was John McSherry. I gotta find
a name. I don't want to say it, but but yeah,
(35:41):
the umpire. He died during before the game opening day.
And now I get it. And that's why the only
reason I bring it up is it's an inconvenience for everybody.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
We get it.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Everybody's down there and they took the day off right,
they have to work tomorrow exactly whatever, Right, And like
you came down there for that, and now you're gonna
have to I gotta stay another night in the hotel.
I got it. I'm supposed to go back to work,
you know what I mean. There's a lot of people
in a tough spot.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
Yes, but there are people that died, No, and they can't.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
Do any of that. They don't have to make any
of those decisions. So yeah, it's the right thing to do.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
It is the right thing to do, and I'm glad
that the officials down there didn't even entertain that.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
All Right, coming up next, talking about another right move.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
I think it was the right move the whole alt
sakuon Barkley, I really do.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
We'll talk about that and much more.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
