know you mad right now?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Twenty eight to seven? Or can let you down? Because
Indiana is.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Well, they got turnouts, though they gave up this three turnovers.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Of course they get I'm just saying, twenty eight to seven,
My goodness.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
You got three, you got three terrible turnovers.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Six Dante Moore was thinking about coming out maybe nah, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
You might run that back, yep.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I mean I mean three first half turnovers for him. Yeah,
I mean, he's getting like they've turned it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I'm not saying that Indiana is not playing well, don't
get me wrong, but I'm just saying, you give up
the ball like that in those.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Situations you can't win.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Come on, man, turn over like that, and two of
them in the you know, in the red zone and
in uh Indiana's red zone, one's a pick six at
the those are like three easy scores.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
You heal me here right now, called his agent, go ahead,
pull my name out, bro go ahead, pull it out.
I'm going, well, we're joking and all that, but dude,
if somebody's still gonna take you top one, two or three,
like like we said earlier, it might not ever get
any better than that.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
So I was, I was, I got a question with
that in mind, because I think that's a good point
that you just make out, Like, if you're gonna take
you that high, you gotta.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Come out, you know, right.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
One game Cardile Jones is the cautionary tale from Ohio
State whatever a decade.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And that one, Rob g I'm glad you brought that up.
Whoever gave him advice gave him the worst advice of
his life because after he played that game and people
looked at him three games that were awesome and you
gotta come out you when he went back and wasn't
even the starter, you remember, why would you go back
to I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Care as to be the cautionary tale?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You you you want me to be a project, and
you're gonna drive, bring me along for three or four
years and develop me because you see potential in me.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I'm doing that? Are you kidding?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
So we agreed that if the evaluators determined that he's
a top five pick, he has to come out right.
Here's the question I have for you. Well, Calvin, start
with you because you brought it up, and then Rob
your next. If you are an NFL decision maker, can
you in good faith stand by your scouting of him
(04:16):
in the entire season and what you saw through thirteen games,
fourteen games and overlook this dreadful performance you've seen so
far in the biggest game of the season for.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Me, Yes, if this is your guy, because you've been
scouting him since really the offseason right and going into
this season. Then you watch him all through the season,
which made people say he could be the number one.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Excuse me, see he's gonna choose on a call for
my cheesecake.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I had it to me, come here, give me a plate.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
If he's the number one pick, number two pick, he
had been all season long. Now, what I can also
attribute is to he's playing I believe the team is
gonna win to ultimately win the national championship. So he's
playing a team that beat Ohio State twice, a team
that looks like they're dominant. They got a quarterback might
be right there at the top of the draft as well.
So I would say he just ran up against a
buzzsaw that Rob Parker didn't like. But they dominated all
(05:07):
season long, and it was just a back game against
a really, really, really good team.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You can't look at one game on the positive or
the negative, you know what I mean, Like, one game
can't determine if you do.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
But that has determined a lot of stuff. Marcus Russell
went number one overall. But yeah, but if you do
real scouting.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I'm just saying, like, I'm not saying it can't factor
in and a big game and how you play.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I'm not saying that, But it can't be solely the
decision on.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Why you're picking somebody, you know what I mean, off
of one game. It can't be one It can't be
one game negatively or positively. But if somebody performs like
your luke warm on him, and he performs really well
in a big game, yeah, I'm gonna have a better
feel for him, right and I'm gonna feel really good
about him. I would and then the other way. So
(06:00):
I think you gotta be real careful there. But I
don't think he's gonna drop out of the top ten
on the first round because he had three turnovers.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
It happened, rob g.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Now, what I would want to see is his second
half resolve. Meaning Okay, let's assume right here, they're gonna
score a thirty five seven. Do you come back, bounce back,
play hard even if you lose, but your team scores
three four touchdowns and you're right in the midst of that,
I want to see the bounce back in them.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
I think it's a fascinating conversation. It is because you know,
with a lot of these executives and right or wrong,
and to your point, I think that that would be
incorrect to do so. But to say they're not influenced
by public perception, I think would be an act.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I just think that when you do that, you can
set yourself up on that, you know what I mean,
set yourself up on the idea that somebody had the
greatest day of their life, and then you make a
switch and go, oh, I'm gonna pick that guy and
his body of work and Rob g you know, isn't
up to par just because he had that one big game,
or a guy's had a body of work where you
(07:06):
really like what he's done all year long, and he
had three bad situations. He held on to the ball,
got a strip, you know what I mean? Through uh
an interception. Some of the greatest players have thrown interceptions
and made bad plays in big games.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
It's happened, it has.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
It has in the championship games too, or or you know,
games that could lead to a championship.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
So there it is. Mark Cuban just ringing his cash
register on his cribs. Well the end, Phil.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Knight need to spend hit more money than get robbed.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I don't care about I'm talking about Mark Cuban, Okay,
Phil Knight, No, because he was the one with the
Nikes and the Jordans and all that.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I'm cool with Phil Knight finding down.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
You mentioned these two teams, Mark Cuban, you know, financing Indiana,
Phil Knight financing Oregon. The other team that it's like
Indiana is gonna face in the championship is the Miami Hurricanes.
And they are nothing if not well funded in the
world college football. They got the big time transfer quarterback
Carson Beck out of Georgia leads them with the game
(08:11):
winning touchdown last night. They'll be taking on Indiana, it
looks like in the National Championship game. And I had
this take before the game, and I'm pissed off at
Rob because you let me do it. What about Miami?
And You're like, no, we got enough college football. Oh,
miss Lane Kiffin, that's the story.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
You know, we'll talk.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
About college football. Oh god, oh god.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
And so I had to fire off this tweet New
York after the game, and Rob saw it, didn't like it,
but he said he saw it, didn't want to acknowledge
the tweet I saw, and I said that Miami with
that win, is now one win away from eclipsing Notre Dame,
(08:51):
Michigan and USC in the all time college football pecking order.
In other words, I believe that Miami, all ready, but
even more so if they win another one, is one
of the blue bloods.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
In college football.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Kelvin Washington, Tell the America why I'm right in this
in this stance here.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Well, you're wrong, you were close. They're like a steps
on Rob Parker. You go first, some over your coughing
like crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I got truth cooking my mouth. I'm carrying a segment.
Don't worry about it.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Look, if we're going to have this conversation, and I
think it's a it's a valid conversation.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
We have to understand that the.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Term blue blood as it's being used today is being
incorrectly used. The vernacular is incorrect because everybody likes to
say that the blue blood's reserved for the historically great colleges.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
That that is what the blue bloods are.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
It's Alabama, those are the blue blo Michigan, it's Notre Dame,
it's USC.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Like, it's these kinds of schools. There were no new
blue blos. There's the problem with that. You call basketball
a blue bloo.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
That's the problem in this conversation is being led by
gentlemen in their sixties who are more worried about eating
cheesecake than hosting a national radio show. Who me, yes,
you just because you had success in the early nineteen hundreds,
does it mean that you get grandfathered in as one
(10:27):
of the pre eminent schools, brands, franchises in the world
of college.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Here here's where I'm to shut down your whole argument,
and you'll realize you're a producer. You ready, Who are
the Ivy League schools in this country?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Princeton, Yale? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Have they added a new school to Ivy Leagues? Is
there a new school that just showed up?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And now?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Stanford considered it?
Speaker 6 (10:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Cornell? No, you know what I mean? No, No, it's
more than that Brown whatnot?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Penn.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
But I'm just saying to you those schools have been established.
Google it, rob g the Ivy League schools, And my
point to you is there're no new members. There are
no new members. There's no new members to the Blue bloods.
There might be programs that have come along and done
well or whatever, but they don't get entry into the
(11:22):
Ivy League or to.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
The blue blood club.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
No, so then how do you do you become a
blue blood because you just want a much championships? No?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Is that an argument?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
No, it's about being there from the beginning. Okay, being
died in the walled van.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Would you like to know which schools historically have the
most college football national championships?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Go ahead? Does Male number one? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:45):
But those No, No, that's the same argument that you're
using in favor. It seems like Notre Dame in USC
and Michigan. Michigan up until twenty twenty three had one
championship since nineteen forty eight.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
They still are.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
It's like the same argument that says the UCLA is
a blue blooding college basketball are.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
No, they are not.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Times change, people change, and the you Miami has had
more success than anybody this side of Alabama and Ohio
State in the last fifty years.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
They're not a blue blood. And this is what I'm
trying to tell Kelvin.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I tried to tell them it's like the IVY League
and the IVY League schools there's no new members to
the IVY League. These are the schools that was started
in the very beginning of the United States.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Those are blue bloods.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
It's not you don't you don't graduate to become a
blue blood.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
There's not enough winning to make you a blue blood.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Zero.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
They're they're the step illegitimate step son or illegitimate son
of the blue bloods. They're right there on the outside
looking in. They can't get in. They're like the bad
boys of the Pistons of the NBA where they kind
of interrupted things. Right, it's the Lakers, it's the Celtics,
it's our beloved Michael Jordan and his bulls. And then
that was like the bad boys of the eighties and
(13:02):
early nineties, and you're like, ah, that's Miami right there
on the outside looking in. Want to be a part
of it. Had a huge run in the laid Alies,
early nineties, bounce back, early two thousands, dipped away. But
they're always in scandal, controversy, arrests, issues, fights, shootouts, drugs,
(13:22):
It's always something, and I think that's why they're considered
like the bad boys, Like, yeah, you won more than
just about anybody, but we don't really want to talk
about that. You had a bunch of wild kids from
Miami and that's how they reviewed, And so I think
college football kind of wants to put them on the
side like daddy's stepkid or something like that.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Rob Gen, does that make sense or No, you're still
not buying that.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
No, both of y'all don't make no sense. You So
you're saying Yukon is a blue blood. Yes, Yukon is not.
Ad it's not being a blue rob. It's like a
supreme jet like you're It's not a lifetime thing where
you just have that until you die.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
No, it's not. No, it's not. You don't answer the
blue blood them. You don't do blood the blue blood.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You don't answer that. There's no entry way. So who
you have to beat there from the beginning, that's all.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
But if that's the case, then why is Yale not
a blue blood rob? Why is that.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
They stopped playing major college football so they're not They don't.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
But those teams no, no blue blood.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
No.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Well, what I'm saying is to to just go back
to Robin G's points. So you can't win your way
in that's what I.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Think you can.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
But they haven't won enough, Like I don't think people
realize because of the U has been relatively down, you
know for the last decade or so, but they haven't
been that if they win, not since Louisiana purchase, they've
been that long, but since Moby Dick was just like
a shark size, not a guppy was a little bit
bigger than that.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
If they win, So if they lose, they getting to
they're in the championshipre and they lose, they're blue blood.
That was just saying I think if they win, no, no,
if they lose, I'm asking you, they're on like the periphery.
See that's what they win, it'll be their six championship.
But I'm gonna tell you the last I'm gonna tell
you what. Winning doesn't matter because Michigan didn't win. Michigan
has blue blood. They are blue blood.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Kelvin absolutely somebody who if.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Their whole argument and being a blue blays they have
these championship from the nineteen hundreds to nineteen thirty three,
then you better tell me Princeton is one. You better
tell me Yale is one. You better tell me that,
uh those hard you have to better.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Minnesota is relevant and Michigan has always stupid relevant. They
had Heisman Trophy winners, Hessens. How do you miss They've
won Rose Bulls. You had to be relevant. Don't compare
it to the Ivy League schools like that. It was
right on the money. Did you see that?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Oh my god, oh god? They just she was short.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Oh I dipped away.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
You know that's frustrating Alex to be short a few inches.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
And I felt that I wouldn't know about that.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I would eight seven seven ninety nine off Fox. You've
been short of f you with no eight seven seven
nine ninety six six easy robs not easy. I haven't
said the text yet. Here's the question.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Yeah, you read it called the Miami Hurricanes. The you
a blue blood in the world of college football.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I say yes. Rob says no. Kelvin says kind of no.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
You want to hear from the outside.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Okay, they're hanging.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Out outside and the way you know how, and you
can't gain entry into the blue blood.

Guys?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
How are you?
Speaker 10 (18:33):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (18:33):
Pretty good?
Speaker 12 (18:33):
How are you guys doing doing well?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Brother?
Speaker 10 (18:35):
Thank you good?
Speaker 12 (18:38):
So.
Speaker 11 (18:38):
I think you both make pretty good points. But I
think Rob G is kind of missing the main point.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
And the main point is.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
That blue blood is a title that you were given originally.
It's not something you confer. It's kind of like you
can have funny at gangsters, but nobody else can be
at o G. It just kind of happens and it
doesn't change after that.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
There you go. It's just I got just said with
the IVY League.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Did you understand that too, Dylan, you know what I'm saying,
like like there are new Ivy League schools, you're not
in the club. Let's start at university in ten years
from now, we're going to make them Ivy League. No.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
Right, you were in an original powerhouse and you can't
ever earn that again.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
It just doesn't happen.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Thank you. Thanks for the call, appreciated shared it.
Speaker 11 (19:24):
How about for having me to night?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Thank you, Chili, Tim and Atlanta Chili. That's why you're
on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
What's up?
Speaker 9 (19:32):
Yeah, Rob Early, Happy birthday to you.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Thank you, my man. I'll be celebrating tomorrow and I'm
very thankful. I'm not afraid to be sixty two. I'm
thankful to be love man.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
It's a blessing.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
It is.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
My wife's birthday is actually senday okay, she's a Capricorn strong.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yes, every birthday, brother.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
Thank you, thank you. I got the best way to
explain this and the previous call it kind of hit
on the show. I told Rob, just like this, think
of when it comes to money, you think of the
Rockefellers and developed and the Morgan's right, it's what they
call old money. Now here's how it works. Old money.
You're born into it, right, and you take a guy
(20:16):
like say Zuckenberg and some of these choosing some of
these millionaires. Now, you can make as much money or
have as much money, but to them, you will never
be the same because they're born into it. The old money.
They don't have to. The new money interprets the rules.
The old money. They are the rules. They wrote the rules.
(20:36):
So and as much as you want, the new money
wants to be the old money, but they'll never be accepted. No,
That's kind of how the blue buds were. You will
you can have as many, but you'll never be them
because you you were not born into it. You had
to maybe be looked into it, you know, you came
across it. But they will always live down and you
no matter how much money you have.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
So that we explaining, that's.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
A good way to like that, appreciate that it takes
right there.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Brother, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Cameron in Indiana you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's happening, Cameron?
Speaker 11 (21:13):
Oh, good lord, guys Miami being a blue blog.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Well, I got one.
Speaker 13 (21:17):
Message for you guys.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Cartoon in Miami, coach client wants to know what you
guys are gonna do, and Indiana opens the whole case of.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Looks that's funny. Don't say that.
Speaker 10 (21:28):
Rob.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Don't want to hear that, you know, I don't want
to hear it. No, I know what's the truth. I
hear you, Cameron.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Thanks? Eric in Miami, you're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up? Eric?
Speaker 7 (21:39):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 12 (21:40):
Guys?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I are you yo?
Speaker 7 (21:43):
I'm doing great. I just wanted to kind of pair
off a couple of the things that the other guys
just said. It is an OG situation, right, Look, I'll
admit you're not gonna like this. I'll tell you straight up.
I'm a notre dame guy, all right. I got no
hatred for Miami though. I'll tell you the way I
think about this. The Ogs, Right, this.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
Is where you're both kind of wrong.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
Is one of you is excluding the IVY League just
because they suck?
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Now they are ogs.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
They are OG's so they are blue bloods without the
IVY League, the Notre Dames, the Michigan's, everybody in the
eighteen hundreds. We're not playing college football.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I get that. But they don't count. But they don't count.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
And what you look at a college football and.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
That's what And that's fine. But here's the deal. Here's
the deal.
Speaker 12 (22:34):
Forget the win.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Loss column, forget the championships. They built the systems. They
are blue bloods. They are the ogs, all right. Now,
create another category whatever you want to call it, historical powerhouses, right,
that's where I would put the Miami's. Right, it doesn't
mean that it's a separate category. So it's not equal
or parody or you can't compare this.
Speaker 9 (22:56):
To you absolutely can't.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
You know, they go on in a category that's equal
to blue bloods. It's just not the blue bluds. They're
not the Ogs.
Speaker 9 (23:04):
They didn't build the system. That's all.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
That's all it is, all right, appreciate it all.
Speaker 9 (23:09):
Yeah, I mean that makes any sense.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
You know, we got you. We appreciate that. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Kevin in Culver City on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Kevin? God, it's good all all the time.
Speaker 13 (23:24):
The Harveybird Happy birthday, Rob Dave Winfield on the radio.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
That's a twin.
Speaker 13 (23:33):
I gotta tell you, man, the blue bloods is very
simple like this. I'm a really just take the taker
USC integrated college football with Sam Dabam Cunningham against Alabama
when they didn't want to have black players on the team.
That qualifies as the blue blood right there. They changed
the game. USC with Stewing Body right, O J. Simpson,
(23:56):
Marcus Sallen, Reggie Bush, Ricky Charles White, Michigan with Tom Brady,
Notre Dame with Joe Montana, Jerome Bettis. That's blue blood.
The next tier guys teams who come in in out
Florida State, Miami, Florida, Georgia, those teams, but they're not
in the tier with those upper exchelon teams. They're not
(24:17):
there yet because they didn't impact like the Ohio State
to the USC's the Texas. Those are those those second
tier schools.
Speaker 12 (24:24):
So Miami's not.
Speaker 13 (24:24):
A blue bud. They're a second tier team. They're on
the second tier.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Level and they'll never be a blue blood right They'll never.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
Be, will never will be, never will be.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
And Kevin thanks man, and I got your number.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I appreciate you. We're gonna do those wings. Okay, one
more robb G Jerome and Charleston. Jerome hates me, but
he still calls all the time.
Speaker 10 (24:44):
No, I don't hit you. I'm just the realest. What

You're not relevant and.

Miami is new money and a blue blood. Okay, I
don't care what you're saying. You don't know what you're
talking about to tell you say anything. That's why I
say you and Steven Bislim you should be room dogs.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Oh god, can you imagine a seventy five year old
calling up and saying I'm old and I'm washed up?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Unbelievable? Jerome, for real, you know what.

We're gonna change your medication the next before the next
time you call.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
All right, Brie, can you get us caught up? We're
gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
It is The Odd Couple Fox Sports Radio, Rob Parker
and Rob G is gonna finish out the show here.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Kelvin is just struggling and and and not feeling really
up to it. He tried to give it a go, and.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
We're gonna let He had the Jordan flu game and
it went the way you thought it would.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yes, no championship. He left early, exactly and left early.
But hopefully he'll be all right. He'll get some rest
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Uh but now, as always, Lamar Mitchell from bet MGM.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Director of Trading, call that an upgrade, no doubt. How
are you, Lamar? What's going on? My man?
Speaker 12 (26:33):
Hey? What's up? What's up? Fellas about Kelvin? That's terrible
but uh, Rob G Big Raider fans stepping in?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yes, and uh, Rob G, are we gonna go before
we I'm not. I'm thinking the pick can pick off.
You know, I'm killing Kelvin Lamar, it's not close.
Speaker 12 (26:53):
It's terrible. You've just been destroying them all.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
I think that's why you're faking the sickness. He's just
to do the picks later.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'm gone.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
He's like, I can't do it anymore. But anyway, all right,
let's let's uh, rob g you want to start.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yeah, let me start here.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
So the Bears and the Packers will be facing off
for the third time this season when they meet tomorrow night, right,
and if Chicago's gonna win, in my opinion, they're gonna
have to you have to a good start because across
the first two games they've actually lost the first half
a combined twenty to three. Right, So it's been slow stars,
slow start, and hopefully Caleber can come back at the
end with that and mil Lamar, what kind of action
(27:29):
are you seeing on the first half, specifically if you
got it and where the sharp's overall? With Green Bay
being a one and a half point road.
Speaker 12 (27:36):
Favorite, you know, that's a good question as far as
first half, let me tell you what we got on that,
because it is crazy. As far as what's been going
on with this game here, we have seen the actual
game has been nuts, but the first half little action
on that. I mean, take account is about two to
(27:59):
one in favor of the Bears, but nothing crazy. But
like I say, for the full game, it's really they
have been betting the Packers and betting the Bears. I
mean it's been back and forth. I mean we go
one way, they bet the number, they bet at the
other side. So the full game they haven't betten everything,
but the first half not very much action.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Surprisingly all right, what about the Rams face the Panthers
in November.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
They ran up almost four hundred.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yards of offense and only faced five third down totals,
but also had the three turnovers and ultimately ended up
being the difference and they lost. What kind of action
are you seeing with the Rams minus ten and a half.
That's a lot of points for a playoff game.
Speaker 12 (28:43):
Yeah, you're absolutely right, Rob definitely saw we open this
number ten and the shots laid it right away to
ten and a half. And what we're seeing is the
money from Joe Public. It's about fifteen to one in
favor of the Rams. Whether it's small money, we haven't
seen any large money come in so far, but ticket
(29:06):
counts about two to one in favor of the Rams,
so they have a short memory as far as this
game when the Rams lost yet the last game, but
Joe Public and the Sharps are definitely on the Rams.
Where's the Holden City at minus ten and a half?
Speaker 13 (29:21):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Real quick, I just want to follow up on that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Last year I took the Commanders plus nine and a
half at Detroit and you know.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
What was that for you? Do you remember?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I mean everybody had to bet the Lions right minus
nine and a half?
Speaker 12 (29:37):
Oh yeah, absolutely cleaned up. Yeah, yeah. Lines were one
of our biggest liabilities last year, each weekend and week
out and for the future book. So yeah, that was
definitely a good decision for the House last year. And Rob,
of course, you were definitely ahead of the curve. R.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
You know it, You know it all right, Josh Allen,
he gets a lot of love for being one of
the best quarterbacks in the league, but he's never been
to the Super Bowl. He's actually all in four on
the road in his postseason career. With that in mind,
I have to imagine the betters are all over the
Jags as home dogs, right, You're absolutely right.
Speaker 12 (30:13):
Well, let's rephrase, Joe Public is on the Bills about
two to one clip as far as tickets, But the
Sharps are definitely on the Jacks. I mean, we open
this one one and a half, I'm sorry, and they've
just been laying this taking this one on the Jags,
and they've taken it minus one ten, minus one to
(30:34):
a team minus one twenty. They've been taking this one
here and we're looking at the money even even the
money is coming on the jack So yeah, Joe public
is definitely on the Jags, but the Sharps Sharp's definitely
on the Jacks. So we'll definitely see what's gonna happen here.
Like you say, he's over on the road in the playoffs,
and we'll definitely see what happens because this is probably
(30:56):
his best opportunity without Jackson, Mahalmes and everybody else in
the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
Yeah, I said, it makes a lot of sense, Bob
Howard go that way. We got Lamar Mitchell beIN MGM
sitting in with the odd couple. Lamar, I'm looking at
the board and I'm amazed at what I see when
it comes to Niners Eagles.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Not only has the.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Spread been bet all the way up from Philly minus
three and a half to to Philly minus five, but
ninety five percent of the handle is on the under
forty four and a half. Like, do they do not
expect the Niners to score at all in this game?
Like they're going to get blown out and it's going
to be a little scoring game. Like what what are
you seeing in this game? Where the sharps in this one?
Speaker 12 (31:30):
Rob Ge, what do your daughters think about this game?
Because they definitely believe that this game is going under.
Nobody is betting the over on this game. It's unbelievable
how much of that bet in the under. The sharps
have been all over this under here. We open a
forty six forty six and they just subvetted down at
forty four and a half. So that's a solid, solid
(31:53):
money going down to the under. Ticket chunt is about
two to one in favor of the under here and
money it's not even close. It's about being the one
on the understore of the public believes that it's gonna
go under.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Two this next game, the Steelers and hosting the Texans
on Monday night. All the folks like Kelvin are saying
that Pittsburgh can't handle the pass rush is going to
be ugly? Did they forget Aaron Rodgers has the fastest
time to throw the ball right in the NFL two
point six two seconds. That's how you neutralize the pass
(32:28):
rush by getting rid of the ball. How much action
are you seeing Pittsburgh getting three at home in this game?
And there are two stats that I saw that really
shocked me, which is the Texans are oh and to
six on the road in postseason play, and the Pittsburgh
Steelers have won twenty three straight Monday night games at home,
(32:49):
twenty three straight, which is shocking. What kind of action
are we seeing?
Speaker 10 (32:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (32:55):
You know what's funny about that is Collin on the
Monday night is phenomenal, like this mention drop, and you
would think that the public will be coming all in
on that, but they really haven't. They've been coming in
on the Texans, which is surprising. Texans two to one
as far as money and two to one as far
as picky count. I know it's still pretty early, but
(33:17):
two to one going into a Monday night game, that
just means it can probably be three to one, closer
to four to one, maybe three to one on Monday night,
But I mean the only time the public is back
the Steelers or the shots about the Steelers is when
we had Heelers plus three and a half. But everything
else has been all Texans money. And we had some
we had some veteran back and forth between the traders
(33:40):
and the office. You know, one guy from Texas and
one guy's a Steeler fan, and the Texan guys like, yeah,
I'm glad we're not playing the Raves. But you can't
talk like that because this is a situation where it's
go home, you know, win or go home.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Right now, you're so right, last one for me, Lamar.
We got on a minute left here.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
This season, Patriots top five points, differential points for driving offense,
points and drive on defense, all the big categories.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
They've been absolutely dominant. But that sounds like an MVP,
guys quarter kind of does.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
But it's been well reported they have played the softest
NFL schedule in decades.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
That's just the truth.
Speaker 6 (34:12):
So with that in mind, how much action you've seen
on the Chargers actually getting three and a half on
the road here in.
Speaker 12 (34:17):
This game, Yeah, absolutely, Rosie, we got we got as
high as four on the Chargers and then the Sharps
took that right back. They said, that's the wrong number.
Public's about two to one in favor of the Patriots,
but the money is about five to one in favor
of the Patriots. So it's surprising to see that the
(34:37):
Chargers getting no love here even though the Patriots play
that soft schedule. Like you mentioned, it's been Patriot money
pretty much consistently all time from Joe Public and the Sharps.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
All right, there you go, Yes, thank you. Have a
great weekend, my friend.
Speaker 12 (34:53):
Hey Rob Parker, you have a great birthday.
Speaker 3 (34:57):

Yeah, you celebrate and continue throwing out those winners for everybody.
Speaker 3 (35:02):

Speaker 1 (35:02):
It was two years ago we were at MGM Rob
G for the big birthday parts. Can you believe that, Lamar,
that's two years ago, years ago? That five Thank you
appreciate it. All right, we're gonna wrap this deep Thank you,
Rob G. Will wrap this bad boy up. We got
the pigskin pick off. We'll do that and much more.
Speaker 10 (35:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
It is the odd couple here on Fox Sports Radio,

But maybe let's get here, Rob g. Maybe it's time
for the NFL Pickskin Pickoff.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
You ready to retire? The Odd Couple is gonna make
you rich gambling corruption, the Big Skin Pickoff.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
It is the NFL Big Skin Pickoff. In NFL games
against the spread.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Rob Parker ran away with this one thirteen point lead
heading into the playoffs. It's almost mathematically impossible for him
to come back at this point.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
But we're gonna try. We're gonna try, all right, wild
Card weekend game. It was just a blow he got
blowed out.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
He did, he did, So I got the games right here,
all the wild Card games except from Monday now, were
picking five of them, all.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Right, So we'll wait till Laft.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Game number one minus ten and a half in Carolina
against the Panthers, Rob, you got who.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
I'm taking the Rams to win.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
The Panthers to cover ten and a half is a
lot of points, and we saw them beat the Rams
earlier this year. I'm not saying they're gonna win, Rob,
g but ten and a half. Matthew Stafford throws two picks.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
As always the picks. I'm always the picks.
Speaker 6 (37:19):
Okay, Okay, I'm picking on behalf of Calvin. I'll take
the Panthers in this one. See, I'll think the Rams
in this one. Of course you would, because I need
they need to cover the spread, Rob, and you can't
cover eleven to thirteen point difference.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
If you know, we picked the same games.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
Game number two, Packers one and a half point road
favorites in Chicago to take on the Bears.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Rob.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I'm taking the Bears in that game. I know the
home underdogs and they can look at them that way.
I just think I like the Bears in that game. Unfortunately,
I agree with you. It's really cold, really windy, not
gonna able to That's what they do, right, what they do, So.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
I like that one too.
Speaker 6 (37:55):
Game number three picks can pick off Bill's one point
road favorites. Theother road favorite in Jacksonville against the Jags.
Bros and Joes are split on this one. Rob likes
who and you know what, we heard.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Sean King talk about that, right and Sean King liked
the Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
I'm gonna take the Jaguars too, Follower, you don't believe
in the Jags. I just I don't believe in the Bills.
How's that.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
I like Josh Allen. I think this is the year
you mentioned it. A lot of pressure on him. I
think Josh Allen's gonna get it done minimum gets to
the championship game. Game number four the pig Skin pickoff
wild Card Weekend Niners at Eagles, Eagle six point home favorites.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Rob Parker, I'm taking the Eagles. I know every year
people count them out. I don't like the offense. I
don't like the way they do this, do that, and
then they wind up winning and it's just to buy
a touchdown. I expect them to win by a touchdown,
rob Gie.
Speaker 6 (38:46):
I like the Eagles to win this game. I like
the Niners to cover, maybe even a back door cover.
I think they're trailing, they get a late field goal,
they try to keep it respectable, but the Eagles still
win the game. Last one, Chargers at the Patriots in Foxboro.
Patriot is three and a half point home favorites. Do
you like, rob Man?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
They play such an easy schedule, the Chargers on the
road of I'm gonna go with the Chargers in an.
Speaker 6 (39:12):
Upset Wow, taking them out right, I like, Wow, thet
in this one. Charge's got no line.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Chargers go.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
They're finally gonna be challenged. The Patriots only won one
game against the five hundred team.

Twenty eight to seven? Or can let you down? Because
Indiana is.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Well, they got turnouts, though they gave up this three turnovers.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Of course they get I'm just saying, twenty eight to seven,
My goodness.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
You got three, you got three terrible turnovers.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Six Dante Moore was thinking about coming out maybe nah, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
You might run that back, yep.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I mean I mean three first half turnovers for him. Yeah,
I mean, he's getting like they've turned it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I'm not saying that Indiana is not playing well, don't
get me wrong, but I'm just saying, you give up
the ball like that in those.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Situations you can't win.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Come on, man, turn over like that, and two of
them in the you know, in the red zone and
in uh Indiana's red zone, one's a pick six at
the those are like three easy scores.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
You heal me here right now, called his agent, go ahead,
pull my name out, bro go ahead, pull it out.
I'm going, well, we're joking and all that, but dude,
if somebody's still gonna take you top one, two or three,
like like we said earlier, it might not ever get
any better than that.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
So I was, I was, I got a question with
that in mind, because I think that's a good point
that you just make out, Like, if you're gonna take
you that high, you gotta.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Come out, you know, right.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
One game Cardile Jones is the cautionary tale from Ohio
State whatever a decade.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And that one, Rob g I'm glad you brought that up.
Whoever gave him advice gave him the worst advice of
his life because after he played that game and people
looked at him three games that were awesome and you
gotta come out you when he went back and wasn't
even the starter, you remember, why would you go back
to I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Care as to be the cautionary tale?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You you you want me to be a project, and
you're gonna drive, bring me along for three or four
years and develop me because you see potential in me.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I'm doing that? Are you kidding?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
So we agreed that if the evaluators determined that he's
a top five pick, he has to come out right.
Here's the question I have for you. Well, Calvin, start
with you because you brought it up, and then Rob
your next. If you are an NFL decision maker, can
you in good faith stand by your scouting of him
(04:16):
in the entire season and what you saw through thirteen games,
fourteen games and overlook this dreadful performance you've seen so
far in the biggest game of the season for.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Me, Yes, if this is your guy, because you've been
scouting him since really the offseason right and going into
this season. Then you watch him all through the season,
which made people say he could be the number one.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Excuse me, see he's gonna choose on a call for
my cheesecake.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I had it to me, come here, give me a plate.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
If he's the number one pick, number two pick, he
had been all season long. Now, what I can also
attribute is to he's playing I believe the team is
gonna win to ultimately win the national championship. So he's
playing a team that beat Ohio State twice, a team
that looks like they're dominant. They got a quarterback might
be right there at the top of the draft as well.
So I would say he just ran up against a
buzzsaw that Rob Parker didn't like. But they dominated all
(05:07):
season long, and it was just a back game against
a really, really, really good team.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You can't look at one game on the positive or
the negative, you know what I mean, Like, one game
can't determine if you do.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
But that has determined a lot of stuff. Marcus Russell
went number one overall. But yeah, but if you do
real scouting.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I'm just saying, like, I'm not saying it can't factor
in and a big game and how you play.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I'm not saying that, But it can't be solely the
decision on.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Why you're picking somebody, you know what I mean, off
of one game. It can't be one It can't be
one game negatively or positively. But if somebody performs like
your luke warm on him, and he performs really well
in a big game, yeah, I'm gonna have a better
feel for him, right and I'm gonna feel really good
about him. I would and then the other way. So
(06:00):
I think you gotta be real careful there. But I
don't think he's gonna drop out of the top ten
on the first round because he had three turnovers.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
It happened, rob g.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Now, what I would want to see is his second
half resolve. Meaning Okay, let's assume right here, they're gonna
score a thirty five seven. Do you come back, bounce back,
play hard even if you lose, but your team scores
three four touchdowns and you're right in the midst of that,
I want to see the bounce back in them.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
I think it's a fascinating conversation. It is because you know,
with a lot of these executives and right or wrong,
and to your point, I think that that would be
incorrect to do so. But to say they're not influenced
by public perception, I think would be an act.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I just think that when you do that, you can
set yourself up on that, you know what I mean,
set yourself up on the idea that somebody had the
greatest day of their life, and then you make a
switch and go, oh, I'm gonna pick that guy and
his body of work and Rob g you know, isn't
up to par just because he had that one big game,
or a guy's had a body of work where you
(07:06):
really like what he's done all year long, and he
had three bad situations. He held on to the ball,
got a strip, you know what I mean? Through uh
an interception. Some of the greatest players have thrown interceptions
and made bad plays in big games.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
It's happened, it has.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
It has in the championship games too, or or you know,
games that could lead to a championship.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
So there it is. Mark Cuban just ringing his cash
register on his cribs. Well the end, Phil.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Knight need to spend hit more money than get robbed.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I don't care about I'm talking about Mark Cuban, Okay,
Phil Knight, No, because he was the one with the
Nikes and the Jordans and all that.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I'm cool with Phil Knight finding down.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
You mentioned these two teams, Mark Cuban, you know, financing Indiana,
Phil Knight financing Oregon. The other team that it's like
Indiana is gonna face in the championship is the Miami Hurricanes.
And they are nothing if not well funded in the
world college football. They got the big time transfer quarterback
Carson Beck out of Georgia leads them with the game
(08:11):
winning touchdown last night. They'll be taking on Indiana, it
looks like in the National Championship game. And I had
this take before the game, and I'm pissed off at
Rob because you let me do it. What about Miami?
And You're like, no, we got enough college football. Oh,
miss Lane Kiffin, that's the story.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
You know, we'll talk.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
About college football. Oh god, oh god.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
And so I had to fire off this tweet New
York after the game, and Rob saw it, didn't like it,
but he said he saw it, didn't want to acknowledge
the tweet I saw, and I said that Miami with
that win, is now one win away from eclipsing Notre Dame,
(08:51):
Michigan and USC in the all time college football pecking order.
In other words, I believe that Miami, all ready, but
even more so if they win another one, is one
of the blue bloods.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
In college football.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Kelvin Washington, Tell the America why I'm right in this
in this stance here.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Well, you're wrong, you were close. They're like a steps
on Rob Parker. You go first, some over your coughing
like crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I got truth cooking my mouth. I'm carrying a segment.
Don't worry about it.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Look, if we're going to have this conversation, and I
think it's a it's a valid conversation.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
We have to understand that the.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Term blue blood as it's being used today is being
incorrectly used. The vernacular is incorrect because everybody likes to
say that the blue blood's reserved for the historically great colleges.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
That that is what the blue bloods are.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
It's Alabama, those are the blue blo Michigan, it's Notre Dame,
it's USC.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Like, it's these kinds of schools. There were no new
blue blos. There's the problem with that. You call basketball
a blue bloo.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
That's the problem in this conversation is being led by
gentlemen in their sixties who are more worried about eating
cheesecake than hosting a national radio show. Who me, yes,
you just because you had success in the early nineteen hundreds,
does it mean that you get grandfathered in as one
(10:27):
of the pre eminent schools, brands, franchises in the world
of college.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Here here's where I'm to shut down your whole argument,
and you'll realize you're a producer. You ready, Who are
the Ivy League schools in this country?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Princeton, Yale? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Have they added a new school to Ivy Leagues? Is
there a new school that just showed up?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And now?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Stanford considered it?
Speaker 6 (10:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Cornell? No, you know what I mean? No, No, it's
more than that Brown whatnot?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Penn.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
But I'm just saying to you those schools have been established.
Google it, rob g the Ivy League schools, And my
point to you is there're no new members. There are
no new members. There's no new members to the Blue bloods.
There might be programs that have come along and done
well or whatever, but they don't get entry into the
(11:22):
Ivy League or to.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
The blue blood club.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
No, so then how do you do you become a
blue blood because you just want a much championships? No?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Is that an argument?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
No, it's about being there from the beginning. Okay, being
died in the walled van.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Would you like to know which schools historically have the
most college football national championships?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Go ahead? Does Male number one? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:45):
But those No, No, that's the same argument that you're
using in favor. It seems like Notre Dame in USC
and Michigan. Michigan up until twenty twenty three had one
championship since nineteen forty eight.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
They still are.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
It's like the same argument that says the UCLA is
a blue blooding college basketball are.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
No, they are not.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Times change, people change, and the you Miami has had
more success than anybody this side of Alabama and Ohio
State in the last fifty years.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
They're not a blue blood. And this is what I'm
trying to tell Kelvin.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I tried to tell them it's like the IVY League
and the IVY League schools there's no new members to
the IVY League. These are the schools that was started
in the very beginning of the United States.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Those are blue bloods.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
It's not you don't you don't graduate to become a
blue blood.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
There's not enough winning to make you a blue blood.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Zero.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
They're they're the step illegitimate step son or illegitimate son
of the blue bloods. They're right there on the outside
looking in. They can't get in. They're like the bad
boys of the Pistons of the NBA where they kind
of interrupted things. Right, it's the Lakers, it's the Celtics,
it's our beloved Michael Jordan and his bulls. And then
that was like the bad boys of the eighties and
(13:02):
early nineties, and you're like, ah, that's Miami right there
on the outside looking in. Want to be a part
of it. Had a huge run in the laid Alies,
early nineties, bounce back, early two thousands, dipped away. But
they're always in scandal, controversy, arrests, issues, fights, shootouts, drugs,
(13:22):
It's always something, and I think that's why they're considered
like the bad boys, Like, yeah, you won more than
just about anybody, but we don't really want to talk
about that. You had a bunch of wild kids from
Miami and that's how they reviewed, And so I think
college football kind of wants to put them on the
side like daddy's stepkid or something like that.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Rob Gen, does that make sense or No, you're still
not buying that.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
No, both of y'all don't make no sense. You So
you're saying Yukon is a blue blood. Yes, Yukon is not.
Ad it's not being a blue rob. It's like a
supreme jet like you're It's not a lifetime thing where
you just have that until you die.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
No, it's not. No, it's not. You don't answer the
blue blood them. You don't do blood the blue blood.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You don't answer that. There's no entry way. So who
you have to beat there from the beginning, that's all.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
But if that's the case, then why is Yale not
a blue blood rob? Why is that.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
They stopped playing major college football so they're not They don't.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
But those teams no, no blue blood.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
No.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Well, what I'm saying is to to just go back
to Robin G's points. So you can't win your way
in that's what I.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Think you can.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
But they haven't won enough, Like I don't think people
realize because of the U has been relatively down, you
know for the last decade or so, but they haven't
been that if they win, not since Louisiana purchase, they've
been that long, but since Moby Dick was just like
a shark size, not a guppy was a little bit
bigger than that.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
If they win, So if they lose, they getting to
they're in the championshipre and they lose, they're blue blood.
That was just saying I think if they win, no, no,
if they lose, I'm asking you, they're on like the periphery.
See that's what they win, it'll be their six championship.
But I'm gonna tell you the last I'm gonna tell
you what. Winning doesn't matter because Michigan didn't win. Michigan
has blue blood. They are blue blood.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Kelvin absolutely somebody who if.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Their whole argument and being a blue blays they have
these championship from the nineteen hundreds to nineteen thirty three,
then you better tell me Princeton is one. You better
tell me Yale is one. You better tell me that,
uh those hard you have to better.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Minnesota is relevant and Michigan has always stupid relevant. They
had Heisman Trophy winners, Hessens. How do you miss They've
won Rose Bulls. You had to be relevant. Don't compare
it to the Ivy League schools like that. It was
right on the money. Did you see that?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Oh my god, oh god? They just she was short.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Oh I dipped away.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
You know that's frustrating Alex to be short a few inches.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
And I felt that I wouldn't know about that.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I would eight seven seven ninety nine off Fox. You've
been short of f you with no eight seven seven
nine ninety six six easy robs not easy. I haven't
said the text yet. Here's the question.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Yeah, you read it called the Miami Hurricanes. The you
a blue blood in the world of college football.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I say yes. Rob says no. Kelvin says kind of no.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
You want to hear from the outside.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Okay, they're hanging.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Out outside and the way you know how, and you
can't gain entry into the blue blood.

Speaker 9 (18:30):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Guys?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
How are you?
Speaker 10 (18:33):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (18:33):
Pretty good?
Speaker 12 (18:33):
How are you guys doing doing well?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Brother?
Speaker 10 (18:35):
Thank you good?
Speaker 12 (18:38):
So.
Speaker 11 (18:38):
I think you both make pretty good points. But I
think Rob G is kind of missing the main point.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
And the main point is.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
That blue blood is a title that you were given originally.
It's not something you confer. It's kind of like you
can have funny at gangsters, but nobody else can be
at o G. It just kind of happens and it
doesn't change after that.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
There you go. It's just I got just said with
the IVY League.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Did you understand that too, Dylan, you know what I'm saying,
like like there are new Ivy League schools, you're not
in the club. Let's start at university in ten years
from now, we're going to make them Ivy League. No.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
Right, you were in an original powerhouse and you can't
ever earn that again.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
It just doesn't happen.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Thank you. Thanks for the call, appreciated shared it.
Speaker 11 (19:24):
How about for having me to night?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Thank you, Chili, Tim and Atlanta Chili. That's why you're
on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
What's up?
Speaker 9 (19:32):
Yeah, Rob Early, Happy birthday to you.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Thank you, my man. I'll be celebrating tomorrow and I'm
very thankful. I'm not afraid to be sixty two. I'm
thankful to be love man.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
It's a blessing.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
It is.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
My wife's birthday is actually senday okay, she's a Capricorn strong.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yes, every birthday, brother.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
Thank you, thank you. I got the best way to
explain this and the previous call it kind of hit
on the show. I told Rob, just like this, think
of when it comes to money, you think of the
Rockefellers and developed and the Morgan's right, it's what they
call old money. Now here's how it works. Old money.
You're born into it, right, and you take a guy
(20:16):
like say Zuckenberg and some of these choosing some of
these millionaires. Now, you can make as much money or
have as much money, but to them, you will never
be the same because they're born into it. The old money.
They don't have to. The new money interprets the rules.
The old money. They are the rules. They wrote the rules.
(20:36):
So and as much as you want, the new money
wants to be the old money, but they'll never be accepted. No,
That's kind of how the blue buds were. You will
you can have as many, but you'll never be them
because you you were not born into it. You had
to maybe be looked into it, you know, you came
across it. But they will always live down and you
no matter how much money you have.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
So that we explaining, that's.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
A good way to like that, appreciate that it takes
right there.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Brother, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Cameron in Indiana you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's happening, Cameron?
Speaker 11 (21:13):
Oh, good lord, guys Miami being a blue blog.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Well, I got one.
Speaker 13 (21:17):
Message for you guys.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Cartoon in Miami, coach client wants to know what you
guys are gonna do, and Indiana opens the whole case of.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Looks that's funny. Don't say that.
Speaker 10 (21:28):
Rob.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Don't want to hear that, you know, I don't want
to hear it. No, I know what's the truth. I
hear you, Cameron.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Thanks? Eric in Miami, you're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up? Eric?
Speaker 7 (21:39):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 12 (21:40):
Guys?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I are you yo?
Speaker 7 (21:43):
I'm doing great. I just wanted to kind of pair
off a couple of the things that the other guys
just said. It is an OG situation, right, Look, I'll
admit you're not gonna like this. I'll tell you straight up.
I'm a notre dame guy, all right. I got no
hatred for Miami though. I'll tell you the way I
think about this. The Ogs, Right, this.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
Is where you're both kind of wrong.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
Is one of you is excluding the IVY League just
because they suck?
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Now they are ogs.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
They are OG's so they are blue bloods without the
IVY League, the Notre Dames, the Michigan's, everybody in the
eighteen hundreds. We're not playing college football.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I get that. But they don't count. But they don't count.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
And what you look at a college football and.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
That's what And that's fine. But here's the deal. Here's
the deal.
Speaker 12 (22:34):
Forget the win.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Loss column, forget the championships. They built the systems. They
are blue bloods. They are the ogs, all right. Now,
create another category whatever you want to call it, historical powerhouses, right,
that's where I would put the Miami's. Right, it doesn't
mean that it's a separate category. So it's not equal
or parody or you can't compare this.
Speaker 9 (22:56):
To you absolutely can't.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
You know, they go on in a category that's equal
to blue bloods. It's just not the blue bluds. They're
not the Ogs.
Speaker 9 (23:04):
They didn't build the system. That's all.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
That's all it is, all right, appreciate it all.
Speaker 9 (23:09):
Yeah, I mean that makes any sense.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
You know, we got you. We appreciate that. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Kevin in Culver City on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Kevin? God, it's good all all the time.
Speaker 13 (23:24):
The Harveybird Happy birthday, Rob Dave Winfield on the radio.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
That's a twin.
Speaker 13 (23:33):
I gotta tell you, man, the blue bloods is very
simple like this. I'm a really just take the taker
USC integrated college football with Sam Dabam Cunningham against Alabama
when they didn't want to have black players on the team.
That qualifies as the blue blood right there. They changed
the game. USC with Stewing Body right, O J. Simpson,
(23:56):
Marcus Sallen, Reggie Bush, Ricky Charles White, Michigan with Tom Brady,
Notre Dame with Joe Montana, Jerome Bettis. That's blue blood.
The next tier guys teams who come in in out
Florida State, Miami, Florida, Georgia, those teams, but they're not
in the tier with those upper exchelon teams. They're not
(24:17):
there yet because they didn't impact like the Ohio State
to the USC's the Texas. Those are those those second
tier schools.
Speaker 12 (24:24):
So Miami's not.
Speaker 13 (24:24):
A blue bud. They're a second tier team. They're on
the second tier.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Level and they'll never be a blue blood right They'll never.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
Be, will never will be, never will be.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
And Kevin thanks man, and I got your number.
Speaker 1 (24:34):

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
It is The Odd Couple Fox Sports Radio, Rob Parker
and Rob G is gonna finish out the show here.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Kelvin is just struggling and and and not feeling really
up to it. He tried to give it a go, and.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
We're gonna let He had the Jordan flu game and
it went the way you thought it would.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yes, no championship. He left early, exactly and left early.
But hopefully he'll be all right. He'll get some rest
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Uh but now, as always, Lamar Mitchell from bet MGM.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Director of Trading, call that an upgrade, no doubt. How
are you, Lamar? What's going on? My man?
Speaker 12 (26:33):
Hey? What's up? What's up? Fellas about Kelvin? That's terrible
but uh, Rob G Big Raider fans stepping in?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yes, and uh, Rob G, are we gonna go before
we I'm not. I'm thinking the pick can pick off.
You know, I'm killing Kelvin Lamar, it's not close.
Speaker 12 (26:53):
It's terrible. You've just been destroying them all.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
I think that's why you're faking the sickness. He's just
to do the picks later.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'm gone.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
He's like, I can't do it anymore. But anyway, all right,
let's let's uh, rob g you want to start.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yeah, let me start here.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
So the Bears and the Packers will be facing off
for the third time this season when they meet tomorrow night, right,
and if Chicago's gonna win, in my opinion, they're gonna
have to you have to a good start because across
the first two games they've actually lost the first half
a combined twenty to three. Right, So it's been slow stars,
slow start, and hopefully Caleber can come back at the
end with that and mil Lamar, what kind of action
(27:29):
are you seeing on the first half, specifically if you
got it and where the sharp's overall? With Green Bay
being a one and a half point road.
Speaker 12 (27:36):
Favorite, you know, that's a good question as far as
first half, let me tell you what we got on that,
because it is crazy. As far as what's been going
on with this game here, we have seen the actual
game has been nuts, but the first half little action
on that. I mean, take account is about two to
(27:59):
one in favor of the Bears, but nothing crazy. But
like I say, for the full game, it's really they
have been betting the Packers and betting the Bears. I
mean it's been back and forth. I mean we go
one way, they bet the number, they bet at the
other side. So the full game they haven't betten everything,
but the first half not very much action.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Surprisingly all right, what about the Rams face the Panthers
in November.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
They ran up almost four hundred.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yards of offense and only faced five third down totals,
but also had the three turnovers and ultimately ended up
being the difference and they lost. What kind of action
are you seeing with the Rams minus ten and a half.
That's a lot of points for a playoff game.
Speaker 12 (28:43):
Yeah, you're absolutely right, Rob definitely saw we open this
number ten and the shots laid it right away to
ten and a half. And what we're seeing is the
money from Joe Public. It's about fifteen to one in
favor of the Rams. Whether it's small money, we haven't
seen any large money come in so far, but ticket
(29:06):
counts about two to one in favor of the Rams,
so they have a short memory as far as this
game when the Rams lost yet the last game, but
Joe Public and the Sharps are definitely on the Rams.
Where's the Holden City at minus ten and a half?
Speaker 13 (29:21):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Real quick, I just want to follow up on that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Last year I took the Commanders plus nine and a
half at Detroit and you know.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
What was that for you? Do you remember?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I mean everybody had to bet the Lions right minus
nine and a half?
Speaker 12 (29:37):
Oh yeah, absolutely cleaned up. Yeah, yeah. Lines were one
of our biggest liabilities last year, each weekend and week
out and for the future book. So yeah, that was
definitely a good decision for the House last year. And Rob,
of course, you were definitely ahead of the curve. R.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
You know it, You know it all right, Josh Allen,
he gets a lot of love for being one of
the best quarterbacks in the league, but he's never been
to the Super Bowl. He's actually all in four on
the road in his postseason career. With that in mind,
I have to imagine the betters are all over the
Jags as home dogs, right, You're absolutely right.
Speaker 12 (30:13):
Well, let's rephrase, Joe Public is on the Bills about
two to one clip as far as tickets, But the
Sharps are definitely on the Jacks. I mean, we open
this one one and a half, I'm sorry, and they've
just been laying this taking this one on the Jags,
and they've taken it minus one ten, minus one to
(30:34):
a team minus one twenty. They've been taking this one
here and we're looking at the money even even the
money is coming on the jack So yeah, Joe public
is definitely on the Jags, but the Sharps Sharp's definitely
on the Jacks. So we'll definitely see what's gonna happen here.
Like you say, he's over on the road in the playoffs,
and we'll definitely see what happens because this is probably
(30:56):
his best opportunity without Jackson, Mahalmes and everybody else in
the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
Yeah, I said, it makes a lot of sense, Bob
Howard go that way. We got Lamar Mitchell beIN MGM
sitting in with the odd couple. Lamar, I'm looking at
the board and I'm amazed at what I see when
it comes to Niners Eagles.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Not only has the.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Spread been bet all the way up from Philly minus
three and a half to to Philly minus five, but
ninety five percent of the handle is on the under
forty four and a half. Like, do they do not
expect the Niners to score at all in this game?
Like they're going to get blown out and it's going
to be a little scoring game. Like what what are
you seeing in this game? Where the sharps in this one?
Speaker 12 (31:30):
Rob Ge, what do your daughters think about this game?
Because they definitely believe that this game is going under.
Nobody is betting the over on this game. It's unbelievable
how much of that bet in the under. The sharps
have been all over this under here. We open a
forty six forty six and they just subvetted down at
forty four and a half. So that's a solid, solid
(31:53):
money going down to the under. Ticket chunt is about
two to one in favor of the under here and
money it's not even close. It's about being the one
on the understore of the public believes that it's gonna
go under.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Two this next game, the Steelers and hosting the Texans
on Monday night. All the folks like Kelvin are saying
that Pittsburgh can't handle the pass rush is going to
be ugly? Did they forget Aaron Rodgers has the fastest
time to throw the ball right in the NFL two
point six two seconds. That's how you neutralize the pass
(32:28):
rush by getting rid of the ball. How much action
are you seeing Pittsburgh getting three at home in this game?
And there are two stats that I saw that really
shocked me, which is the Texans are oh and to
six on the road in postseason play, and the Pittsburgh
Steelers have won twenty three straight Monday night games at home,
(32:49):
twenty three straight, which is shocking. What kind of action
are we seeing?
Speaker 10 (32:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (32:55):
You know what's funny about that is Collin on the
Monday night is phenomenal, like this mention drop, and you
would think that the public will be coming all in
on that, but they really haven't. They've been coming in
on the Texans, which is surprising. Texans two to one
as far as money and two to one as far
as picky count. I know it's still pretty early, but
(33:17):
two to one going into a Monday night game, that
just means it can probably be three to one, closer
to four to one, maybe three to one on Monday night,
But I mean the only time the public is back
the Steelers or the shots about the Steelers is when
we had Heelers plus three and a half. But everything
else has been all Texans money. And we had some
we had some veteran back and forth between the traders
(33:40):
and the office. You know, one guy from Texas and
one guy's a Steeler fan, and the Texan guys like, yeah,
I'm glad we're not playing the Raves. But you can't
talk like that because this is a situation where it's
go home, you know, win or go home.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Right now, you're so right, last one for me, Lamar.
We got on a minute left here.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
This season, Patriots top five points, differential points for driving offense,
points and drive on defense, all the big categories.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
They've been absolutely dominant. But that sounds like an MVP,
guys quarter kind of does.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
But it's been well reported they have played the softest
NFL schedule in decades.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
That's just the truth.
Speaker 6 (34:12):
So with that in mind, how much action you've seen
on the Chargers actually getting three and a half on
the road here in.
Speaker 12 (34:17):
This game, Yeah, absolutely, Rosie, we got we got as
high as four on the Chargers and then the Sharps
took that right back. They said, that's the wrong number.
Public's about two to one in favor of the Patriots,
but the money is about five to one in favor
of the Patriots. So it's surprising to see that the
(34:37):
Chargers getting no love here even though the Patriots play
that soft schedule. Like you mentioned, it's been Patriot money
pretty much consistently all time from Joe Public and the Sharps.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
All right, there you go, Yes, thank you. Have a
great weekend, my friend.
Speaker 12 (34:53):
Hey Rob Parker, you have a great birthday.
Speaker 3 (34:57):

Yeah, you celebrate and continue throwing out those winners for everybody.
Speaker 3 (35:02):

Speaker 1 (35:02):
It was two years ago we were at MGM Rob
G for the big birthday parts. Can you believe that, Lamar,
that's two years ago, years ago? That five Thank you
appreciate it. All right, we're gonna wrap this deep Thank you,
Rob G. Will wrap this bad boy up. We got
the pigskin pick off. We'll do that and much more.
Speaker 10 (35:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
It is the odd couple here on Fox Sports Radio,

Speaker 6 (35:27):

Robbie some vanilla being in.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
The US man, be sure to catch live editions of

But maybe let's get here, Rob g. Maybe it's time
for the NFL Pickskin Pickoff.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
You ready to retire? The Odd Couple is gonna make
you rich gambling corruption, the Big Skin Pickoff.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
It is the NFL Big Skin Pickoff. In NFL games
against the spread.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Rob Parker ran away with this one thirteen point lead
heading into the playoffs. It's almost mathematically impossible for him
to come back at this point.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
But we're gonna try. We're gonna try, all right, wild
Card weekend game. It was just a blow he got
blowed out.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
He did, he did, So I got the games right here,
all the wild Card games except from Monday now, were
picking five of them, all.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Right, So we'll wait till Laft.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Game number one minus ten and a half in Carolina
against the Panthers, Rob, you got who.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
I'm taking the Rams to win.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
The Panthers to cover ten and a half is a
lot of points, and we saw them beat the Rams
earlier this year. I'm not saying they're gonna win, Rob,
g but ten and a half. Matthew Stafford throws two picks.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
As always the picks. I'm always the picks.
Speaker 6 (37:19):
Okay, Okay, I'm picking on behalf of Calvin. I'll take
the Panthers in this one. See, I'll think the Rams
in this one. Of course you would, because I need
they need to cover the spread, Rob, and you can't
cover eleven to thirteen point difference.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
If you know, we picked the same games.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
Game number two, Packers one and a half point road
favorites in Chicago to take on the Bears.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Rob.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I'm taking the Bears in that game. I know the
home underdogs and they can look at them that way.
I just think I like the Bears in that game. Unfortunately,
I agree with you. It's really cold, really windy, not
gonna able to That's what they do, right, what they do, So.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
I like that one too.
Speaker 6 (37:55):
Game number three picks can pick off Bill's one point
road favorites. Theother road favorite in Jacksonville against the Jags.
Bros and Joes are split on this one. Rob likes
who and you know what, we heard.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Sean King talk about that, right and Sean King liked
the Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
I'm gonna take the Jaguars too, Follower, you don't believe
in the Jags. I just I don't believe in the Bills.
How's that.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
I like Josh Allen. I think this is the year
you mentioned it. A lot of pressure on him. I
think Josh Allen's gonna get it done minimum gets to
the championship game. Game number four the pig Skin pickoff
wild Card Weekend Niners at Eagles, Eagle six point home favorites.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Rob Parker, I'm taking the Eagles. I know every year
people count them out. I don't like the offense. I
don't like the way they do this, do that, and
then they wind up winning and it's just to buy
a touchdown. I expect them to win by a touchdown,
rob Gie.
Speaker 6 (38:46):
I like the Eagles to win this game. I like
the Niners to cover, maybe even a back door cover.
I think they're trailing, they get a late field goal,
they try to keep it respectable, but the Eagles still
win the game. Last one, Chargers at the Patriots in Foxboro.
Patriot is three and a half point home favorites. Do
you like, rob Man?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
They play such an easy schedule, the Chargers on the
road of I'm gonna go with the Chargers in an.
Speaker 6 (39:12):
Upset Wow, taking them out right, I like, Wow, thet
in this one. Charge's got no line.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Chargers go.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
They're finally gonna be challenged. The Patriots only won one
game against the five hundred team.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
