You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Well, good morning buddy, Happy heavy hebby Fox Sports Saturday.
Happy November. Wow, we're into November. Ophe, everybody had a
great Halloween and it's uh, it's November. Frost about to

(00:25):
get on the pumpkin and it gets real in football,
and uh, we have a Game seven in the World Series.
That's right. Uh, we got lots to get to Jeff Schwartz,
Anthony Gargano, the Fellas live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios,
Game seven. And it came up in a uh, in

(00:47):
a fun way, Jeff last night like it got Harry
for a minute line drot double play.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
I know, I'm uh just pointing Toronto couldn't do it
to day. They wore their powder blues again last night.
The powder blues have brought him some luck. Uh, I
mean tonight we go back to do the traditional home white,
so the the the the Joe Carter uniforms, and we
ended the season with a victory. Joe Carter, I'm sorry,
I forgot. Yeah, I mean that's you're my boy, dude.

(01:19):
It's been many years, you know over yet you want
to you want a world serious Since then?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Okay, well, just because it doesn't mean that that home
run by Joe Carter didn't ripped my heart out. I'm
sure I've been before. Yeah, I mean, we don't need
to glorify it, but we but we do need that
as a country. We need we need the Blue Jays
tonight to make sure the Dodgers don't win again. So
we need, we need the Blue Jays do everything they

(01:44):
can their power to make sure the evil Empire of
the Dodgers do not get this. No, I am U
surprised there's gone seven. Honestly, the Blue Jays just sort
of just.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Keep fighting and clawing and do everything possible to to
get themselves in this in this position and.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
The game step at home to your boy. Your boy
told you that they were live in the series. I
told you that, you did, you did tell me.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
That, and and now uh and now we have which
is what you want right when you get home field.
For this reason, right, I'm not sure it matters as
much of baseball as it does in other sports, but
the vibe tonight in Toronto is going to be immaculate.
And you know there'll be some lemon booty in the crowd,
but I know the players don't feel that way, and
the ability to play in this game is why you
work so hard all season to have the record you do. Thankfully,

(02:31):
it's not determined anymore by the result of the All
Star Game, which is one of the most the silliest
things of all time. And now we get to decide
on the field.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, I I do like I do think home field matters,
and because just because the last ops, I think last
ops mean something. I think that I do think that matters.
But in the game seven, like you say, you throw
it all out the window. I think that the reason

(03:01):
why the Jazer are in a Game seven and can
knock this team off is because they're built correctly and
they do something that most teams don't do in the
day of analytics, and that is they have a great
approach at the plate. They shorten their swing with two strikes,

(03:24):
they don't strike out and in and in an era
of analytics where they go strikeouts are fine. The Jays
put the ball in play, and when you put the
ball in play, good things happen. I don't I've never
liked this whole home runner busts approach at the plate.

(03:45):
I think it's wrong. I think certain guys who are
power hitters. I'll accept strikeouts and I'll embrace them. Oh,
I'll never embrace them, but I'll accept them. Uh. And then,
but other guys should not be selling out to try
to hit home runs. Shit? Should that happened? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:03):
And then you know we talked about this last Sunday,
you know, last Saturday, I should say. You know, when
you get in the Dodgers' bullpen is when you have
the best opportunity to get right right. And you know
last night they threw their best. Can they throw back
to back games? Obviously they can in their bullpen, but
you know you have the ability now to get their
bullpen a second night if you can get there. Look,
they got young Mono through six, which is pretty good.

(04:24):
Concentered he's thrown back to back, you know, complete games,
So they were able to get into it last night.
Can you do it again tonight in a game seven?
So I look, sure she's throwing tonight for the for
the Blue Jays. I've not seen announce start for the
Dodgers yet. It's gonna I don't know, so I don't
know who it is, but look, having shirts on the
mount tonight is got to feel good.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
For Toronto.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
He's not the picture that he was, but but a
guy like that in game seven. I remember when the
Giants we didn't get the start massive Bumgardner in game
seven and twenty fourteen, but we did get to see
him on the bullpen for five innings. It feels a
lot like that comfort, like you know it's getting from Sureser,
You're getting dude that is just a dog man, right,

(05:07):
Like he's everything he's got is gonna be in this
in this game seven. And I think if you're in Toronto,
you feel probably great about at least that start tonight
that you have him on the mount totally.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, without a doubt, You're you're you're right on man,
right And and I just so, I mean, he's going
to start for the Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Okay, I not. I just looked at the before we start.
I looked at the pitch. I didn't see a listed starter,
so I was.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
They haven't listed it yet, but they all signs point
to Otani. Somebody was telling me. I was texting my
last night. He said that they're probably gonna go with Otani,
so which makes sense, and then everybody will be available,
right like you know Glass now who cleaned up last

(05:55):
night will be available. You know, Sazaki will be available.
I mean, all have every body ready to go.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
If you if you chrise JN to night will be up.
I would imagine I wouldn't. I wouldn't have I wouldn't
pitch him. Well, you might have to. They had to
the other day, right in the eighteen game.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
That had I mean, I hope I don't have to
go that route.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
I uh, look, if if Toronto starts fast, I think
they're in a great spot tonight and Tani Song, I'm
just curious about with him to just tonight. And it's
in particular like he had that incredible game in the
eighteen ning game and then just hasn't quite been the

(06:38):
same player, you know, like it. I don't know if
it's just fatigue from all the bats and all the pitching,
but I'm curious about him tonight gaining that start. Eventually,
your body does get tired, I believe it or not.
I'm curious about, you know, how he's gonna do given
obviously the workload he's had so far in this world series.

(07:00):
We've never seen anything like this. He's a machine, you know.
I think he'll I think he'll be fine. But I
think that's a fair thing to to be curious about.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't know, are you talking from a hitting standpoint?
Just both just like like like know where he's been
since that game? Like, see, here's the issue when you
judge him as a hitter. He doesn't get a lot
of pitches to hit right like you show in this.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
In this series specifically, but normally he does this is
it's not Barry Bonds. I mean, if people throw him
the ball this series, they've obviously not.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, you can't in the playoffs. You're not gonna You're
not going to give his left the left to hit.
You're just not going to do that. I read.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
I'm surprised he hadn't gone the Berry Bonds treatment his
entire seasons on the series. I mean, I I'm it's
so funny. I tell us about like when I'm like,
why is the Aaron Judge get walked? And people are like,
I don't know. I might just don't say don't walk.
I'm like the home run, say walk him. You know
I don't do it.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
I don't. In the playoffs I would do it more,
but regular season I don't know it. And it depends
on who's on the mouth. But I mean, look, I
remember covering Bonds and being a lot of those games,
and you know he was such a great mistake ball hit.

(08:25):
Nobody was better and hit mistake pitches. So you know
you're not You just won't give him anything of his own,
like you can't, you can't fool him. Otani's not Bonds,
but he's like you don't want to get beat by him,
like you don't want to be stupid, and you can't
do in the playoffs what I remember remember the Judge

(08:48):
home run in the playoffs? Yes, right, like you can't.
You just can't give him that pitch. You can't do it.
You can't let to your point, you don't welcome you
know that that's that's your and I would do it
in the play like tim I if I'm the Jays,
I don't give him anything in the hit. Sure will

(09:10):
we'll buy into that. But yes, well, I love Matt,
I do love Max. I agree with you if you
know he may he's not he's not young Max Scherzer,
but he's got stones. Man. I love that dude. He's
the ultimate competitor. He's sort of.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
What I think it's important too, is like you know,
players will say this all the time, and you know
this like them, I'm I'm ready for the moment, and
I have a most confidence. But if you're not playing
in game seven before, you don't know what it feels like.
I don't think sure has playing Game seven. He probably
I mean, I'm not gonna go through the tire creer.
I'm sure he's been close to Game seven, but he's
played a lot of playoff games, and he will be

(09:51):
mentally ready for this moment like he will be. He
will rise up to the moment and he will not
let the moment overweigh and emotionally get in the way
of pitching really well.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
To Yeah, I hear you, buddy, I hear It's gonna
be good, good stuff. A lot to get to with football.
As November hits and we man, I always hate this
man because now just flies by, because I love the holidays,
and you know, you got Thanksgiving coming up and the Christmas,

(10:21):
New Year's all that stuff, and football goes by the
next thing. You know, you and I will have this conversation.
I'd stay it every year. We will have this conversation.
Wake up one morning on a Saturday and there'll be
no football, and I'll be depressed and you'll be depressed.
It's it's uh, it's gonna be bad. But right now
we can just enjoy it. Did I was curious about this.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Do you get a cut of about Real's new deal?
Is that in your podcast? Is that in your podcast
with him? You get like you tell you some money?

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah, I wish not for enough. It's good to be
a coach these days, all right, if you're a coach.
But there ain't no better professor in the world. Oh
my god. So let's get into it, all right, because
in fact, I touched on it the last hour with
the Project n il so you saw the craziness going

(11:14):
on to Louisiana. The governor of Louisiana, he.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Made that job, which is a top job in this country,
very undesirable by his press conference. And I think the
result of that is what we've seen with some of
these contract extensions. I think for those who missed at
the Louisiana governor got up in a press conference and
I think made a mockery of himself in that in
that in the process of hiring coach l s U

(11:42):
And I think that a job that is super desirable
instantly became undesirable when the governor of your staw I disagree,
you disagree, yep, Okay, I'd love to hear this.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
I don't why why LSU the undesirable? I don't know, ruit,
I don't think. I don't think it's unst Governors are involved.
The governor of states are involved in this. It's a
state job.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
But but getting up with getting up on a press
conference and saying the things he did and making about
him is going to make coaches question whether that job
is for them.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Got news. That's today's landscape, brother, that's the landscape billy
governs and a politicians run. Look, he's not grand standing
like Josh Shapiro. Isn't grand standing like uh, like the
governor of Louisiana did. But make no mistake, he's involved

(12:46):
in that search and he may not say it, but
he's going to make the decision along with Packcraft. You
have to get it. Okay, it's because it's this, it's
because it's a state contract. Right, you stayed in the
highest place, state employee. But if Craft wants someone and
Shapiro said so, Shapiro's gonna final say. If Craft says hey, man,

(13:11):
I want Matt role. Shapiro goes, no, Matt Ro's a
bad example because it's not going anywhere. But if he
says I want Matt rule, Shapiro's gonna be like, no,
I want that rule, and that's it. These are not
gonna hire that rule. So don't be naive. My brother,
the most powerful person in the state, we'll get the

(13:32):
final say. Now, especially in an era of bread and circuses.
We live in bread and circuses. We live in an
era where football is king, and politicians look at football
as a way to reach the masses. They've always they've

(13:53):
always done that, not like to it's not like today.
This It mimics Roman days more than ever. It's all
about that. Holmes. I'm telling you, you're you're You're not
going to outwardly stand the reason why you're reacting this
way is because he outwardly said it. But in back

(14:14):
rooms where you're not at the edicts are made. You
think in this in this world where colleges have so
if so so, if if if the if, the Pola
family yeah, and and the a d want that rule.

(14:37):
Well now you're now you're bringing the power of the billionaire.
Once you bring the money. Well that's so so my
point it's the ads. The ads is muted.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Well, the ad is not allowed it anyways, But yeah, sure, yeah,
it depends on the power structure.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Like I'll tell you that's the point, you said versus
joshapirou Wins like, like, I'll tell you.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
I I think in the state of Oregon, our athletic
director has the final say over the governor or. Phil
Knight has a final say whoever it is. But I
think ourthlet director is given the power.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
You would know better than I would, But but it's
from afar. Phil Knight would have the final say. But
I actually think he relies a lot on our athletic director.
I think, but yeah, but again he's his I've had
this conversation with high level state coaches. I go, because
I'm running a TV show about this whole thing. In fact,

(15:31):
I sent it to you. It's it's it's following the script.
It's following the script the governor. So I had a
conversation with the coach, and coach goes, I go, do
me favor. Who are the most powerful people in the
state in your state? And it was the billionaire the

(15:54):
first no, the governor depending on the billionaire, right, because
there's levels of billionaires, but in that state, it was
the governor, the billionaire himself, another billionaire, the quarterback, all right,
the OHC, then the A D Well, that's it's certainly fair.

(16:19):
That does depend on the structure of of your of
your state. We were. I think we're going to see
that a lot of these programs, as they hire, are
going to end up hiring their f choice, uh, as
they go through this process. And I think a lot
of it has to do with some of their these

(16:40):
school's attitudes and how good they think they can be
versus how good they actually are, and the resources that
are a lot allocated to how the structure of the
sport has completely changed. Like if if Lane says no
to LSU, which is certainly possible, Uh.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
What who are they going to hire? That like is
going to fire up the fan base? Way that makes
everyone happy? There's there's great coaches out there they can hire.
By the way, I'm not say they can't hire a
good coach, but like if Lane says no and Drinkawitz
says yes to Florida.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
And not like what what what is LSU? What do
they doing? To do.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
I don't know what about alco uh Elko is a
great option, but why would he leave A and M
right now for for LSU?

Speaker 2 (17:20):
I that look, I mean, come on pecking order to
his job is l s U? I mean, just recruit
in that state and you're gonna get great defensive tackles,
great receivers and great defensive backs.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
So here's the thing about about about what what I
think coaches are going to start thinking of asking themselves
is we saw Lincoln Riley leave USC right to I
mean leave Oklahoma for USC. Look a job we thought
was like untouchedball. No one's ever leaving Oklahoma, right. We
saw Brian Kelly leave the other day for l s U.

(17:53):
We've seen coaches make these jumps and it hasn't been
successful up to the degree that that they know Lincolny
can still obviously do this in the end, but not
right now right hasn't been successful? Is that if you're
Mike Elko, you're Dan Lanning. Landing is not leaving but
good example, and you're you're right now go through the
year two. His team is eight to no. He's building

(18:13):
a roster and a program in a way that is
probably sustainable. We know he's good coach. He wanted Duke.
He's winning now for early at a m if you
leave for LSU to start over again. First of all, right,
now you can bring some of your players obviously the
portal now. But the way the money in Texas, the

(18:35):
way he seems to have the program rolling, is it
worth leaving the starting over? Would other coaches have tried
this at various locations. It just hasn't worked. I think
coaches are starting to look at that and think is
it worth making that jump.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
It's why we saw it.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Matt Rolegant extension already lastly got extension last night at
SMU's head coach. They might go and beat Miami today,
like we're seeing like, yeah, part of.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
It is all right. We gotta take quick to you. O.
It's a great conversation, all right, So let's we'll dive in.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Welcome back, Fellas. Jeff Schwartz, Anthony Garganto hanging out November one,
Frost on the pumpkin. You're getting a little chili down there. Yet,
it's getting a.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Little chili there last night, so I uh, last night
was the first night that we let our kids trick
or treat by themselves. Now, they were with a bunch
of friends. We had like a bunch of sleepover and
everything there whistles sleeping, but we let them all, there
were six of them together, We let them all trick
or treat, dropped them off down the street, and let
them trick or treat back to us.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
We were very safe neighborhood. I'm unconcerned about anything.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, And so as I was driving back to our house,
it was still a little light outside. These three teenage
kids were sort of walking on the street and one
of the kids was actually wearing I think it was
a Philly's shirt or a Red Sox shirt. I think
it was a Philly shirt. Though like made a gesture
like he wanted to punch my car. He kind of

(21:01):
like raised his fist steps and like pretended to hit
my truck. And I was like, oh, okay, this is
a little interesting. Like he was trying to timidate me,
you know, because he didn't know who I was, try
to intimidate me. So we get back to the house
and I live on a cold sack with just four houses,
and it was a it's a quiet cold to sack,
and so we were planning, my wife was planning on

(21:25):
going to the front of the cold to sack bringing
all our candy. There sort of like shutting off like
the street from trigger treaers because they had some older
families and they were sleep you know, they weren't part
of they weren't doing. You know, they weren't doing Halloween,
so we were preparing to do all that and one
of our neighbors comes up to us, the son of
one of our neighbors, and uh, he's very nice, but
he's still kind of socially awkward and like not really

(21:47):
like it.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
I think, you know, it just is. It is what is.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
And he shows us a video of these three teenagers
that had come by. I guess our neighborhood earlier had
taken candy. He left some candy out and threw it
at his house, okay, And we're like, like, he was
upset and they were throwing candy in and he wanted
to be done with the night. He's like, here's my candy.
Can you just deal with it? Like I don't want
to be part of holloween anymore.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
And you get it. It is what it is.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
But these kids are being rude. So I said, right, oh,
it's the same kids. Okay, I'll go find them and
I had a word with it. I had a word
with the kids. I don't think they're going to do
it again. I think that they're not gonna do again.
And then a second neighbor found them.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
You were like Tony soprano. I roll out, kid, I went.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
I found the kids. There were like two houses from
where I left him last, and I rode to the window.
I said, stop throwing some people's houses. We have you
on camera. Don't be a holes And and one of
the kids was like, how I think my son would
react if he like face like visually, if he got
cod doing something like this. Did you get out of

(22:49):
the car show?

Speaker 2 (22:50):
No?

Speaker 4 (22:51):
No, it was no.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
I have a very start voice if I want to.
It was. It got the point across.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
And then one of my other neighbors actually went it,
and then I guess they were sort of still causing
a ruckus. And one of my other neighbors drove around
and found them again, and now she said she would
call her parents. I didn't go that far, but like
there they're causing a ruckus last night. Man like to
start the night, like, come on, be better, come on
man throwing candy at someone's house?

Speaker 2 (23:18):
What are we doing here? Did they did you get
involved in mischief night? They get involved in one mischief night.
I guess that was mischie knight for them. I don't know,
I don't we were everything else. Do you know, did
you have mischief Night the night before Halloween. No, oh no,
not in my neighborhood, buddy, I don't. I don't know

(23:39):
if you can do mischief night in the South. I
feel like like if you start messing people's houses they
is that what mischief knight is? Yeah? Did growing up?
You didn't have that? Growing up? No, I with some
of my neighbors, I would be careful messing with their house.
You were out, you were out, well, you grew up
in the west right Los Angeles. Yeah, I would just again,

(24:02):
I would say that if you I mean, it was
so I mean, you know again, I mean you're talking
you know, I'm talking eighties, I a long time.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Just say, I wouldn't do a mischief night with some
of the people in my neighborhood. You're welcome to mess
with their houses. I wouldn't, but you certainly. I mean no,
it's funny like that. Now it's a custom. Yeah, listen, dude,
I feel you.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
I mean I remember growing up it was you know,
you know, you were you learned lessons like there were
there was always stuff that you didn't. You didn't yeah
that you didn't go too far right like you know,
it was supposed to be benign, but whatever.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yeah, oh look, this is in the all grand team
of things. It's pretty benign. But but our neighbor was
pretty upset about it. So I made sure the kids
didn't do it again in my house. I don't know
if I would have cared as much, but the neighbor
was pretty upset by it, and so make sure the
kids don't do it anyone else.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah, yeah, I feel you, buddy. I like it. I
like it all right. So the conversation isn't fascinating one,
so you if you're a coach. So in Matt's case,
like I can just talk about rule like again, I
know that I know what kind of guy is. He

(25:21):
made a commitment to Nebraska. He loves it there, like
his family. He's he fell in love with coaching. Again,
I think the Carolina thing was tough on Matt. When
Matt went from to Baylor to the Carolina Panthers and
it did work out, was it was COVID right, and
you know the owner. I didn't think the owner was

(25:43):
very supportive, but whatever.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yeah, temper has changed a little bit. I think that
he allows the staff now to do a little more
of their own coaching and hiring than he used to.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, and I think that that was kind of to
his detriment before. But whatever, So he goes the Nebraska
and I think he feels a sense of loyalty to them,
Like you know, year, it's just his third year. He's
had a lot of success. You know, he's he's starting
to have success. Start it was a you know, tough rebuild.

(26:16):
But I think he's got some momentum now and I
think he's happy. I think he's he's not chasing. I
think it all depends on the coach. Some coaches are chasing, right,
Like you know, I think LSU still has a lot
of gravitas, Like Elish's the biggest thing in Louisiana. It's
bigger than the Saints. I don't have to tell you

(26:37):
and to me, you know that Tom Rouse under the
lights is a big freaking deal, right, So.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Can you can you tell Matt Rook you text him
to and say, hey, Schwartz needs you to cover tonight.
Can you tell him that that would be that would
be nice. I'm sure I'm sure he would take that kindly. Yeah, right,
I mean he knows. We we we see each other.
Big ten media, they all the time I live in
but just just hey, I'm working with Jeff Schwartz. He
needs you to cover tonight.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Please.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Uh, this is a big game for We'll talk obviously
a lot about Nebraska US. It's a big game for
both schools tonight seven thirty under light. Nebraska's were in.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
The all black tonight, I think right to blackout and
Lincoln and the black shirts black shirts. Okay, So.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
I do I think the landscape of coaching has changed
with NIL and with the transfer portal. Right, so a
place like LSU. I still think we all think I'm
not to disagree with you about the how good that
job is, right, but I think that with the commitment

(27:42):
you have financially other places now you can make that decision. Uh,
it's a lot easier to say no to jobs because
you are settled in a place that has the financial
commitment that you need to win. And we're seeing I mean,
look the easy example of Signetti, right, like if five

(28:03):
years ago, even if you were good Indiana five years
ago and someone said, hey, man, Penn State's open, you'd
be like you know, I mean, look, I know I
an organ guy, but like I would it makes a
lot of sense to talking about Organ but like, there
there was never a time in the first one hundred
years of college football that the organ head coach that

(28:23):
was doing well would say no to LSU, right, Like,
there was never a time that that would ever have
ever happened. But now I'm not sure. Lane didn't get
the job offer obviously, but he's not going anywhere, right.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
He said no to Alabama a couple of years ago
like that, So I think that it's it's easier for coaches.
I'm not saying that Lane's gonna say no, or Eli
Drakowitz or someone say to say no to LSU, But
if you have the commitment from Old Miss financially to
back you, yes, it makes a lot easier to say
no to that. I agree that. I agree with that.

(28:57):
I agree with I think the m. I it all
depends on what you're backing is, right, like A and M.
You got a good back alcohol has got a good
back iming right, good backing out at Penn State. By
the way, there's no no Penn State.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Right.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
There was some thought about that, did he just get
did he get another he didn't get a new deal, right,
or did he get a new deal this week too?

Speaker 4 (29:16):
No?

Speaker 2 (29:16):
He didn't get a new deal this week, but but
he still he's definitely stole in play at Penn State.
He went to Penn so he's still he could still
go to Penn State again. But A and M's got
good you know, good pocketbooks right like and to your point,
you do have Texas, so you know it's it's a

(29:36):
it's a good job, it's a great school. Now, it
all depends on kind of your appet site, the idea
that as long as you're able to to finance your program,
you know that that'll dictate. That's why the landscape is
what it is. That's also why we're sitting here in

(29:57):
November or November one and Florida's open, Penn State's open,
LSU's open, Virginia Techs open. Where am I missing?

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (30:07):
There's Arkansas is open? Right like that? That's a lot.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
The down wind of this cycle of coaching is going
to be like nothing we've ever seen before. So think
about a couple of years ago, Nick Saban left Alabama
right here, here's just the moves that happened with one
coaching one coaching job. Okay, so Nick Saban leaves Alabama Canada,

(30:34):
borr leaves Washington, right, Jed fishes Arizona, Brett Brennan leaves
San Jose States, and then and then Nea Montalolo who
was at Navy BOS I think and u c l
a staff at that time that he became a Santaesay
State head coach. So that's what five coaches that moved
for one job. Four coaches that move for one job
because Saban retired. The amount of upheaval we're going to

(30:58):
have in this sport during the cycle that already includes
like fifteen jobs, that doesn't even include right now, you know,
like Florida State potentially all but potentially other jobs that
might open up because of some poor play down the
stretches include any of those. The downward effect of this
coaching cycle is it's going to be irritation with sport forever.

(31:19):
We're gonna have coaches that aren't ready to be head coaches,
which is fine, but aren't ready to be head coaches.
And we're gonna have off its coordinators aren't ready to
be OC's DC's. We're gonna have hires out of nowhere
that are going to be like you'll be like how
like like look to the signetty, how you're gonna have
someone from it, maybe even the the the JMU coach,
current JAMU coach gets a job, We're gonna have an

(31:40):
upheaval man that's unlike anything we've ever seen this sport, and.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
I'm not sure good for the sport. And this might
be one of those things that.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
We look back and think, like, this is this change
the way that we do coaching hires and contract Look,
Louisiana governor said, I believe like we're not doing these
deals anymore, like that that we did with Kelly, Like
we're just not doing them. Like we're not doing these
deals anymore. And the and the deals that got done
the last couple of days, there was a reporting that said,
this is sort of these couple of deals are like

(32:13):
the end of whatever. This is like the new coaches
this year are not getting these contracts anymore. And so
I think this is just an interesting time for His
name is saban Or Meyer.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, I don't think my I don't think Meyer is
coming back, say Salmon, I think saman would be open
to it. I think urban Meyer this you know this.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
He didn't do well in Jacksonville when the players had
a little more power than him I can't imagine Urban
coming back in this landscape.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
And yeah, I agree. I was just saying, if you
have a name, though, you'll get that contract. Sure Lane
could do it, obviously, l s U. I mean, Lane's
gonna have Lane's gonna be the richest person to have
all this. But even like okay, like like like Brett
Lashley at s U done a great job. Okay, made
a playoff last year. Big game today, I'd actually think

(33:01):
they might have a chance to beat Miami today. I'm
kind of curious about that game. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Uh, but like the report was, he's now paid as
a top ten coach in football. Okay, I mean it
feels high, but like them not my money, Like, are
we gonna keep giving? Are we gonna keep giving? You
know the way it works, Obviously, the next coach becomes
the highest paid coach, same as obviously the NFL contrasts.
Is nothing unusual that's happening here. But I think there's
a breaking point where like team schools just suck.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
We just can't do this.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
We can't pay this coach this much money without the success.
Yeah yeah, Now it's I'm curious if this cycle is
the one that's like I also, let me.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Throw another wild card at you, and it's the NFL Wildcard.
We'll talk about that in a minute. Fella is right
here on Fox Sports Radio, Fellas with Jeff schwartzemanthey go again. Hey.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been out being
customers by the right tires for how, what and where

(33:58):
they drive ships some free back by free road hazard protection,
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rac dot
com the way tire buying should be. Now time for
the tire rack play of the day. Mooky, what a
two run single to give the Dodgers a three nothing lead?

(34:24):
Pitch Bets hits.

Speaker 6 (34:25):
It on the ground, base head, left field, hold, Tani
stores Here comes Smith behind them.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Play the play. There is none.

Speaker 6 (34:33):
Mookie Bets with a slump busting swing a two olt
single to make it three nothing.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
La Ry top of the thirty busted it. That's courtesy
AM five seventy LA on the call. Hey, So we're
talking about these coaches. If you're in the NFL and
you're coordinator Joe Brady, why would you go to I

(35:03):
would be I would Joe?

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Supposedly we floated Joe Brady's name on my podcast, Bear Betts,
and supposedly the reply that that Bear got back loser
our host Chris Filica was that he's very happy in
the NFL.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
So that's that.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Look the NFL, you get an off season, you get
like a little bit of a life. I think that's
I think once you get out of college, it's hard
to go back.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Now.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
The one name that I actually from the NFL I
think is worth a look is Kingsbury. I think Kingsbury
would be He'd be perfect. So I think Kingsbury's a
name that Washington commander is off Twitter. The problem with
the NFL higher number one problem is this is you

(35:55):
need that coach to be able to recruit after thanks
give it like immediately. And why Joe Brady's not leaving
Buffalo right, I mean, obviously they're they're in there running
to win a super Bowl. Kingsbury, you know, maybe commanders
the next couple of weeks with Daniels, you know, and
sort of kind of what's happening right now. Maybe they're

(36:16):
at a place where he feels like they can't win
a super Bowl this season, and so I'm gonna leave.
That's the problem with the pro coach, is that you
can't get them in the building. Like it's unfair to
both the college and the and the pro team to
hire Kingsbury and let him finish out his year as
Commander's head coach to be commanders OC while trying to

(36:37):
recruit a staff first of all, and players to your
school while he's not there. So that's a consideration now,
is like if we go pro, can we wait until
that coach has done with their season.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
To do this?

Speaker 2 (36:52):
I think the answer probably is no. Do you think
it's no? So you're right? I mean is a killer
and it's why you got all these openings now. They
need to move the portal. The portal well they move
to January. Is January first now, right? I believe they

(37:13):
they need to move it into the spring. It's too
The problem is is that that's why you have all
these openings now like they used to be. You can't
have December and January. It's crazy, right, So they moved
to January, but you still need to move it further back.

(37:35):
It does It doesn't make sense, not with the way
the sport is. You gotta move, you gotta be able
to move stuff like the portal that early is a problem.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Yeah, I think coaches are okay with it because of
it happens at the same time as as your commits
do and you can sort of build your know, the
roster numbers you need and who's in and who's out,
and it's a little it's a little tougher for coaches
if you did in the spring, but I do agree
it'd be less less chaotic though, right, I mean you'd
have you know, a lot of coaches that are getting

(38:08):
you know, the important transporportal players in the middle of
playoff preparation and like it makes it very difficult obviously.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
To do this in January. Yeah, I mean it's crazy.
But that's why. That's about the pro gener pro stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes,
but that's real. That's hold new, right. The GM is new.
It's two years old. It's great and not everybody has

(38:36):
them now, like you know, they have them, but they're
not the full fledged uh you know NFL GM that
they need.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Yeah, I mean, but a lot of them like I have.
You know, they got a lot of power, man, I
mean it's kind of crazy. You know, they released the
salaries the other day. We saw what you know, North
Carolina got the first win last night. But you know
what what Michael Lombardi is making of the guy Organs
making almost a million dollars, But he's worth every petty
he's so good. So these guys, I mean, it's worth,
it's worth if you find the good, good guy because again,

(39:07):
the coach and coach the player.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
You know, the general manager's job right now, right is
to start.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
Looking at the portal, right, see you see who's leaving,
see who's going, and figure out a way to build
your roster heading the next season.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
I know, it's crazy. It is crazy because the season
is still going on. It's like it's like it's free agency, right,
So imagine if free agency was happening during the NFL season.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah, yeah, I know that's why this The sport has
a lot of things they have to fix, but it's
kind of yeah, it's all new and they're.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Trying to figure out was like go obviously, yeah, somebody
I read a quote, uh somebody and uh who was it?
In the LSU story was talking about how college football
is like an air balloon, just being blown no direction whatsoever,
blows with the wind. We're the fellas right here hanging

(40:02):
on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (40:05):

Speaker 3 (41:02):
So, oh yeah, I could use I could use I
could use some sleep. I it's been a long travel week, buddy.
I I do we have to close the airport every
time it rains in New York?

Speaker 2 (41:14):
Like? Do we really have to do that?

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Like?

Speaker 3 (41:15):
Come on, We're better than New York. We don't have
to close the airport every time it rains come on,
So what were you doing? What were you doing to
So I go to New York every week for work
Wednesday and Thursday, and so I was flying home. And
this has happened multiple times this year where it rains,
and it did rain a lot in New York. There
was flooding in Brooklyn and places. But they just shut

(41:36):
the airports down like a full ground stop every time
it rains, like at all. It just happened multiple times
this year. I was at LaGuardia normally I'm at Newark.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
I was.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
I just there was no flights at Newark yesterday to
fit my schedules or whatever it was, and so you know,
I was delayed like five hours. Now I was fortunately
because a lot of people got their flights canceled, I
got to eventually leave. But yeah, my flight was kind
to fight five thirty. We left like ten thirty. So
but like digitally the airport is I asked someone like, yeah,
we just closed when it rains because they can't see

(42:06):
and we don't have a lot of runaways.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
So not great.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
I mean I live in Charlotte where it rains all
the time, and they just you know, they just keep
flying so I don't know what the problem is.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
When New York City they just closed down. They're like, well,
you just stopped. We just stopped when it rains. That's
the way he told me.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
They're like, we have two runaways lag Guardia, and the
visibility is low when it rains, and so.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
We just have a ground stop. Okay, Well it doesn't
hurt though. It doesn't help that air traffic is correct,
or don't get paid right now? That doesn't worry me.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Every time I get in an airplane right now, I'm like,
these guys are not getting paid now they do. I
think there's a third party they contract. Yeah, who does
get paid. But still I would appreciate if the people
in charge of whether my plane doesn't get another plane
is are getting their their full salary this week.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm with it. All right, let's
go over let's shift gears to on the field, and
let's start with the National Football League. We saw everything
come to a head in Miami after another debacle, So
you know, McDaniel's gonna stay on until the end of

(43:21):
the year. Then he'll go gm out. There's gonna be
a whole cleaning of the house. And with the Dolphins. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Look, I text my brother this the other day. I said, Tom,
I said, I just can't stand watching the Dolphins offense play.
I just destructure just drives me insane. And my brother
brought up a good point. He goes, well, you just
don't like watching offense designed for quarterback who has to
throw the ball immediately because he can't get hit or
he's gonna get hurt. Right, look fair, Yeah, you're right. Yeah,
you're right, exactly right. I don't like watching that offense.

(43:54):
So I don't want to fault McDaniel too much. Now,
the sloppiness of the team is his fault. But his
quarterback cannot get hit, always going to not play football anymore.
And that is a huge problem with with their team,
right is you cannot obviously design a functioning offense around
a quarterback that he only look one at one player

(44:15):
and then has to throw the ball away or do
something else like that. It's it's just a it's a
huge issue for the offense too, has limitations, but then
you out of the fact that he can't get hit
or you're worried about getting hurt again, It's hard to
dine in any offense like that. So I do give
McDaniels a little bit of grace when it comes to that.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
McDaniel.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
So I said, McDaniel's on Twitter, and it'd be like,
you don't want to spell his name, but I'm okay,
find a minute error. Sorry, uh, Mike McDaniel. So I
actually do feel for him in that way. But the
overall slopping is the team is obviously something that you
can't accept if you're if you're you know, if you're
the head coach.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
And I don't think he does. But that's where they're
at right now. Chris Greer had been there forever, been
there years and years and years, couldn't produce a winner.
It made sense where he sort of went first because
he's the one who obviously drafted Tua over Justin Herbert,
and that's gonna end up being a really bad decision
by him. I mean, I'm with you, buddy, it's man too.

(45:13):
A thik kills you. It just kills you. You have
no chance, you have no chance. You're right, you have
no chance. And there are a lot of that's not
been good.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
I mean, there's a lot of issues they have with
the team, but you know, the Ravens just really outclassed them,
which no surprise. And Lamar didn't run the ball but
once like he didn't even wasn't really himself, and uh,
you just got they got really outclassed. And you could
tell the big difference in the programs and the franchises
just in that game right where the Ravens were butting up,

(45:45):
they were making plays, they were doing the right things,
and you know it wasn't always perfect, but so of
just like slowly, just like you know, every possession got
a little bit better as Lamar got a little more
comfortable and.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Obviously in the end end up with the victory. It
isn't even crazy though the Dolphins man and just hal
and Nept that they've been for years going back to
Jimmy Johnson ownership.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
Ownership matters, folks, and uh that that that plays a long,
big role in whether you have success in this sport
or not.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
And ye and the quarterback.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
Man, of course, but I mean, I think it's just
he's at a point where, uh, you just with his
history of concussions, they're so worried about him getting accussed
again that they've done a game plan around that idea,
and it really hampers them but like I also think
like Tua just says some things recently the podium that
I'm just like but you can't you can't say I'm

(46:44):
short and I can't see the field.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Yes, I'm fat and don't move very well. It's not
an excuse for giving up a sack, you know. I mean,
like I imagine I had the party was like you
got sorry, I'm just a little bit fat right now,
and I just I don't move as well as the
defensive lineman do. Sorry, No, your job to figure it out.
That's being a professional. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So it's things

(47:07):
like that that like that on top of not playing well.
Quack liked him. I mean the quarterback, you know, he's
not he looks it's all as had a choice.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
You hear in the commercials Collin Kira was talking about it, right,
You had a choice between Justin Herbert six five can
have an arm who.

Speaker 4 (47:32):
You know.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
The knock on him coming out was that you know,
he wasn't he hadn't left Eugene yet, and maybe he
wasn't a good leader. But then again, if you and
I made this point at the time, if you listen
to people in the organ facility, no one said that
about him.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
There was you couldn't find one person.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
It's anything bad about justin Herbert your chance to draft him,
or like the shorter Alabama quarterback like you you you
made your choice, like you made your choice and you
chose wrong, and you choose wrong at that position. Man
sent you back years. Right to think about the ramifications
you can get out of there.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
You don't, You can't. You other two a business. Certainly
you're paid a big cost for that, right with your
salary cap. And yeah, it's it's just not pretty. It's
not pretty in Miami right now.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
So it made sense why they moved on from from
the general manager and then move on from from from
the coach too. He's not he's not immune to this
unless Stephen Ross thinks that he can mentor another quarterback.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
I don't know what Ross thinking. Yeah, I think their
issues go beyond the quarterback. So I don't say it.
But it was it was rough. It was rough. Like
the Eagles were able to get out of Wentz.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Yeah, but they had they have they paid Wentz yet
though the second contract or they had paid them, they
paid them. Yeah, well they I think the Eagles are
an out wire and being able to draft Hurts in
the second round. Hurts are the most successful second round
draft pick at that position in like fifteen years. No one,

(48:55):
you know, since like Drew Brees right, and no one
gets drafted the second round a quarterback and it's been
good except him.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
He's only one.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
Yeah, even then, we still question whether he's good or
not right, you know, but you know the rest of us,
so I don't know it's Hurts are really that good
or is he a product of everyone around him?

Speaker 2 (49:12):
It's amazing. He gets he every it feels like once
a year, twice a year, actually twice a year. He
has to defend himself for his job, like it feels
like his job's on the line twice a year, like clockwork.

(49:32):
It's pretty nuts, and it's happening. It was happening.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
And then they won two in a row and looked
really doing it offensively and Barkley looks a little bit
back and the offensive line still beat up, but playing
a little bit better. And they did all that last
week without a J. Brown, the Scattaboo injury I think really.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Changed that game. He gets the Giants. I think the
Giants just got zapt after Scattaboo's legal sideways.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
I had the same injury. By the way, my leg
just wasn't yeah, it just good of my ankle, but
my leg just wasn't gross. He they said he did
broke his fibula, and Deltoy ad the same thing. But
Deltoy blew out. Did you have hear the compound fracture too?
I didn't see that. He didn't compound fracture. I didn't

(50:13):
have that, okay, And I just saw that. I saw
that the one tweet from Wrap that Wrap.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
That said that a compound fracture. Oh, I didn't have that, okay,
So that that's a little different. But I had the
one of the eagles, guys. I had what they I
had threw up on the field. I had.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
I had what they reported which I saw, which was
that he had he blew out as deltoid and facts,
which I had both of those. I did not have
the compound fracture, which is so he's tibby. He broke
his timbia too and went through the pears the skin,
you know the skin.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Jeez. Yeah, that's.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Well, that's the immediate that's the immediate surgery part of it.
You gonna get that cleaner. That's a that's the infection.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
That's why he was right after he was taking immediately
right into surgery because.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
Really only two there's really only two injuries that you
have immediate surgery before Like there's two injuries essentially you
have immediate surgery.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
One is an open wound, right, a compound fracture. The
other one would be it would would be a dissicated
knee because of that artery in the back of the
year of your Otherwise you typically wait to get home
to have surgery. Look, I again, I did to just
kid at my ankle. I didn't have a compound fracture.
I I just went was to Jacksonville and I went
home and had the surgery a couple of days later

(51:35):
in New York. So, yeah, those are john clean wounds out.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
We saw you.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
Alex Smith wasn't infected on the field. Obviously he got
affected posts. But we've seen players who get infections and
you got to fight that immediately. So the surgery happens now.
And so you know, I love the Big Dog game,
his cheese steaks and his pizza which is which was
which was awesome.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Yeah, Dom's the best. There's a place called Angelo was,
so he stopped over there and got the PiZZ and
cheese steaks for Cam and the family. Yeah, I share,
but I agree with you because the minute that happened,
the whole air went out of the Giants.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
It was seventeen to ten, yeah, and then all of
a sudden it was thirty eight to ten.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Yeah. I don't think they're gonna win the game, but
I do think it definitely had an impact. Well, think
about I mean, he's you know, darted him, like they're
best friends, and and it's more about the energy that
the scannaboy bring us to the field, right, and the
Giants I think feed off of that. Right, He's a
guy that less amount of energy, physicality, and and you

(52:38):
know you drive off of that if you're a team
and just you just lose that immediately.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
And actually curious about their offense without him, right, they
don't have Milie neighbors as we know, you know, what
becomes of their offense without an engine like like Scataboo.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
I'm kind of curious through us the season. Now, Oh dude,
I don't know how you I mean, they have no weapons.
I mean you got Wapdeale Robinson and doesn't count Slayton.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
I mean, they're they're professionals, but they're not Malie Dabers
and they're not No, I mean you're all threes. I
mean even even like even Scattaboo. Look, I think that
there was like a shelf life on it because he's
just gonna get so beat up over over a season. Yeah,
you needed a little bit something else.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
You need to change your pay I mean, you know
you need somebody better than Trace. He is your your
second guy.

Speaker 3 (53:24):
Yeah, so I'm I am you know again, the Darts
More film with him not as good, no surprise obviously,
but I'm curious what what the giants do there?

Speaker 2 (53:33):
But yeah, I love the kid. I mean, I think
that kid's a winner. Man, I love Dart. I think
he'll be fine in the end.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
But he's gonna have a new coach next year, and
so that's gonna have to to factor that into the
equation about the evaluation.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
So you definitely figure he's out. I mean, what do
you what's the case for bringing back Table? I don't
really they're gonna be finish with four wins. What are
you gonna you're gonna bring him back? The case the
case is is that dark showed promise under him. That's
your case, that's all that's that's his, that's his whole case. Yeah,

(54:07):
I mean I get it. I mean I don't know.
You know better than I do. You play for him?
I want to play for Dable, but no, you played
for the Giants. I mean there was a time I
thought that would sort of like like never make rash
coach decision, and the Giants just keep doing it. So
maybe it's the time that they don't do it where
they just you know, they just roll out with with

(54:28):
the Dable. But I don't know, man, I don't I
don't know if they can just do that again after
the last couple of years to shame. I liked him
a lot coming out of Buffalo. I thought he did
some really good things with Josh and and that offense.
My biggest question like sometimes his game management, I don't

(54:50):
I don't really get.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
Well, that's why are you going to you know, there's
other issues besides just like can you coach offense?

Speaker 2 (54:57):
You know?

Speaker 3 (54:58):
And I almost say, we'll say, obviously, finance is happening
in the NFL. We've a couple of guys go but
you you'll you know, a lot of the pressure of
fire coach. You know, you lose on National TV. Essentially
that was I know, it was on Prime and it
was on National TV.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
Look. Also, yeah, the Michael's Herb Street thing, it's like,
it's kind of this is kind of tough. Really they
have no chemistry, dude. I know, I know, I know.
I love I listen, I I love Herbie. He's fantastic,
He's the best. And now, you know, but I just

(55:32):
think that Herbstreet is so much better in college, Like
that just fits I think better. It's a lot of
it's a lot of work, man.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
You know, you're spending all this time, you know, doing college,
and all of a sudden you have an NFL get
of course is putting in the work. But it's just
it's a lot on someone's plate to do all those things.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
And and you know, sometimes it's about fit though, Like
to your point, the game fits him better college. Yes, yeah,
there's like you know, the day of the big college game,
the big college game is louder than your normal NFL game.
Oh so you know, there's a there's a higher energy

(56:11):
which I think fits and I think the energy I mean,
God blessed out. I mean he's Hall of Fame, He's fantastic, right,
you know that I don't know, you know, obviously doesn't
have the same energy. I think there's an energy like lack.
And if you have a game that doesn't live up
to it, it feels quiet. Yet the broadcast. Yes, that's

(56:34):
a fair way to put it. Yes, you know, I
mean I still you know, I watch every week and
he's still like it. I'll watch every week who's playing?
Watch exactly exactly, But you know now, meanwhile, the flip
side of Thursday Night, the Ravens are now the favorite
to win the division at three and five. Yep, have

(56:57):
you seen the Steelers recently? Due their defense? So defense
is rough.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
So for so many years, the reason why Mike Tomlin's teams,
despite a lacking of offense, continued to play well was
a defense, right, And he's a defensive coach, and their
defense is capital be bad. They allowed they've got thirty
five of the Packers thirty three, the Bengals thirty two

(57:25):
to the Jets thirty one. The Seahawks, remember the Patriots
when they play the Patriots, they had they had twenty
one points, but they fumbled twice in the ind zone.
Like they should have thirty five points. It's it's bad
right now, and there's no end in sight, like they
don't have there's no quick fixes. Their defense is older,

(57:46):
we're not getting the production from the pass rush that
they used to get. And then offensively, Rogers playing fine,
but they have no downfilled threat. I know they have DK,
but he's not he's not.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
Not enough.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
And so you were to situation when you can't rush
the passer, he can't stop the run, and then all
of a sudden you just can't throw the ball down
the field. They're in a world of hurt. Man, it's
not good right now for them, and they're gonna you know,
they're gonna go down the same path they always gone.
It's a fair question asked the season, like what what
are we doing with Tomlin? Like, what's the Are you
gonna let him essentially draft and coach the next quarterback

(58:23):
in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
I don't think you can.

Speaker 4 (58:26):
See.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
I still think it's the GM. I think it's I
think I think it's roster makeup. I don't I don't
see people in Pittsburgh. People in Pittsburgh, Well he's a
I mean, he's a defensive coach. You gotta be better
on defense. People got personnel issues a little defense.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
People in Pittsburgh will tell you that this is a
roster that Mike Tomlin wanted and that it's on him
that they're not playing as well because this is he
has a huge hand in the roster of construction, and
this is this is the team he wanted. He wanted
this team, the trades they made over the years to
bring like this is all on him, That's what That's
what Pittsford people will tell you.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
Yeah, I mean all right, I mean, uh, I don't know.
I mean, I when they had a quarterback, he was good.
I mean, I don't think scheme is an issue. I mean,
he knows how to coach it. He's not a guy
that is when things go bad, he can save it
like he's not. I think it's a roster issue more

(59:27):
than anything. Now, if you tell me he's got his
hands or blooding from the roster, all right, then you
know then I would I would have a GM that
that's a Pittsford people would tell you, But uh, I don't.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
I don't know if they want to if they're gonna
let him choose in this coach essentially, So I'm kind
of curious how that goes.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Does does does? Does Joshaparo have as saying who they
hire Pittsburgh too, Steelers? Now does it? I'm joking with you.
I'm joking right back at you. Vella is we got
We're gonna go through the games, storylines coming up back
to college. The brain. We got all Conciou stuff man today. Nice, Yeah,

(01:00:09):
we got the brain. Brains back. He's actually at he's

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Fellas with Jeff Schwartz on Anthony gar I got a
lot from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
I can't believe it's November, man, crazy. I'll tak the
chillier weather though. I'm okay, a little chillier weather for
the for the big guy over here. Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
I get you. I like to so I I it
goes by so fast. He got passkets like I love
when all the sports are going. But you know, I
just want to preserve. Yeah, I'm not going to up
all the time of year. I'm a little uh, it'll
be it's a little checked out on the I saw
Luca last night cross someone up though a shoe fell off,

(01:01:19):
which was is a Lakers fan. That was fun to
see Lakers low key though. You get Lebron back, you
know it would be interesting. Yeah, yeah, I mean how
about Reeves, it's playing great out of his mind.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
Yeah, obviously when you know the dynamic when Lebron returns
kind of changes that a little bit. But yeah, I
mean if his if Lebron can just turn into like
a facilitator and have to score as much, it takes
a lot of pressure.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
Off of him at this age. Yeah, totally, totally. All right,
let's look at kind of this quote quickly over the
NFL games this weekend. We'll look at college coming up
next hour, we'll start New England in Atlanta, and Atlantic
will start cousins again in New England. For everybody in

(01:02:07):
love with some Drake May he is looked terrific. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Look, I mean he's been a great He's he's done great.
His deep ball passing has been really good. It's guy
better each week. And look that this does feel like
one of those games where New England should handle business cousins.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Outside off a bad game last week, maybe take a
little bit of rust on that. I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
I don't really see why New England would would chougle
much of this game, I really know. I mean, the
way they're playing. Look, it's the NFL. I adn't given Sunday. Obviously,
it does feel like New England has something working here
now it's drinking when the Mvpton. No, none, that's happening.
But as far as the way he's played so far
this season, it's been really good. I think I think
it makes you question, with with with the Jaylen Daniels injury,

(01:02:52):
j Daiel's injury, whether or not Drake May is the
best quarterback in this class of twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
Right now.

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
If you redrafted Daniel's probably one, Drake May two. At
the moment, I don't know how you can wit the case.
They would be Caleb Williams number one right now.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
No, Yeah, I'm with you. I know, I think I
think may in a redraft scenario. I mean, I still
think Jade Daniels by a wide margin, so healthy. It's
hard to make that evaluation right now, you know. I mean,
I think I've seen enough from him. I think I
generally agree with you, But I think I think if
you wanted, if you wanted to argue that, I wouldn't

(01:03:31):
be against that. It's so funny.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
So Daniels, the knock on him coming out was like
his size would lead to injuries, right, that was what
we heard. That was very slender framed, and I covered
him for four years at Arizona States. It was never hurt, Like,
I never bought this, he's never heard in college.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
Well, why would he be injured from the NFL and
his injuries in the NFL so far or not because
of his style of play.

Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
It's just it just didn't fortunate. So it's kind of
funny to listen to, Like people are like I told you.
I'm like, did you tell me what he wasn't hurt
in college?

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
He was college. Don't bring it up. Don't don't pretend
like that's a problem. Right, there was definite a problem
in college. Why was there a problem. I just unfortunately,
it just it's it happens, So you get hurt in
the NFL. In the NFL, yeah, yeah, that's that's I
Sometimes I just go, I what people are The arguments
are so not inane, they're nonsensical. It's ridiculous. Uh, Chargers Titans, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
I bet on the look, there are some there are
some bad teams obviously in the NFL. As we know,
the Titans are are are bad and the teams they're
not even covering games. The times have been blown out
nearly every week, and so I did the Chargers just
handle business this weekend?

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
The I just just they just do.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
They're just better and uh, Joe All coming back has
really sort of changed this offense while we saw last week.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
It's been a huge improvement.

Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
Obviously no surprise, but that just adds uh and Justin Herbert,
who like is turning into like uh like him and
massive beer out in the town all the time now,
like who's this who's.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
This Justin Herbert guy?

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
Yeah, i'd be I'd be out of the town too,
like gonna lie. So I get it, Herbert, I understand.

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
Oh yeah, Bears and Bengals, you're you brought up Caleb
earlier when we're talking about the potential redraft man. He's
inaccuracy problems. I don't know how. I don't know how
you fix that. Uh, you don't problem. He is supremely inaccurate.

(01:05:38):
It's a shame because he's got everything. He's just why
what he misses, he just misses by a mile. Yeah.
I think we thought, you know, I'm in this, can
me me? I thought so too.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
I think we thought, like, get him in the regular
NFL offense and I'll solve some of those problems.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
And clearly it's just not going to oh yeah, uh
against that Bengals defense.

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
That probably solves all the problems though, right the Bengals, yikes,
this is a fishy line though.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
Right. The Bear's only fair by three here on the
road against the Bengals two and a half. Now, I see.
I think I haven't looked at the numbers this morning yet.
I think that the the Bears probably wouldn't cover probably
a Bengals line. Now.

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Yeah, but the Bengals defense is just so bad. It's
like it's it's like it's it's like, how do you
even how do you even think that they're gonna stay
in this game.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
You know, yeah, I agree. The Jets drove it all
over them, you know, yeah yeah, Colts and Steelers. Okay,
now the Colts. I mean I was having a conversation
with somebody, uh this week, Ah, who'd they play? What
do you mean?

Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
Who?

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
Like, at some point you got to give it all,
you got to get off the who they play? Correct? Correct? Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
So the Steelers entering last weekend, it's the Packers Mike
Tomlin as a homeowner dog covering the spread twenty two
seven and three. They didn't cover the spread last week
twenty two eight and three, home under dog. The reason
why they cover all those games is because their defense
has been good, right, yeah, the defense kept them in
all the games. The defense is now terrible capital T.

(01:07:35):
Terrible capital T. Actually, the Colts go to Pittsburgh and
win this game by a fair amount. To your point,
like I they played the Chiefs in two weeks. I
want to say, we'll find out more about the Colts then.
But they're better than Pittsburgh and the way they're playing
is very sustainable in my opinion. And Pittsburgh doesn't do anything.

(01:07:57):
They don't rush the passer, Like.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
What what do you.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
I think the way you get for the Colt, you
gotta stop run obviously, try to hit Daniel Jones as
soon doesn't do any of that stuff, like why why
can't they run the ball thirty five times in this game?

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
Like so, yeah, they're not stopping Taylor. You're they're not
stopping Taylor. And then it's play action. It gets a
team that gets no pass rush correct, you know, and
a team think about it. They were leaky against Craft, right,
they can't ate leakyards to the tight end. What's gonna

(01:08:27):
happen with Warren?

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
Yeah, I'm go back to the draft, dude. I am like,
I am shocked that that I had love one five
to one to be the first time and drafted. So
I made some money certainly what the Bears did there.
But Warren's performance so far this season is the most
predictable thing we saw coming. Like anyone who watched Warren

(01:08:51):
play in college was like, yeah, this is gonna work
in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
It's gonna work. And and the question about you know
about about Lovely was like, you.

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
Know, we saw some of the some of it, Like,
but right now Tyler Warren his uh, he's at what yeah, right, here,
he's got thirty seven catches, fifty targets. He's projected to
have one hundred and six targets, nearly five hundre dard
to three touchdowns. I think his over under this year
was like five twenty five, like six twenty five, like

(01:09:23):
it was. I bet on it here, I have my
projections right here. What did I what did I take
here for him?

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
Like it he had? It was five seventy five that
was his total? Is here?

Speaker 3 (01:09:33):
Five to seventy five and fifty four catches? Like it
was so predictable, this was gonna happen. We these tight
ends that come from college in the NFL are so productive.
It is so incredibly hard to cover a tight end
in this league. They run faster than linebackers and they're
bigger than safeties.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
What do you do?

Speaker 4 (01:09:50):
What do you do?

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
Yep? Yeah, yeah, I'm not telling you anything, but yeah,
his over under this week it's fifty seven and a half.
It's a high number though it feels like but yeah, yeah,
but you know it's you know, Pittsburgh leaks yards to
the tight end. I mean we saw crafted last week.

Speaker 3 (01:10:13):
Yeah, yeah, I uh, it's certainly certainly playable. Yeah, I
haven't done I've done all my props yet for this week.

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
Yeah, just it just stood out to me because I
know how bad they are covering the tight end, and
so I'm thinking, you've got warrnt and the issue is
going to be with fifty seven and a half. You
saw it with Craft, right, like the cup of mis
tackle here and he goes for fifty five. Like that's
the problem. That's why I think I would love the

(01:10:47):
play is they're they're gonna be so worried about Taylor
play action and Warren is a great athlete. War gets away,
He's gonna get huge chunks like you can get that too, catches,
which course to what Craft did. Yeah, so running and
the Colts running game is in a better spot because

(01:11:10):
Jacobs was bagged up with Taylor, you know. And so anyway,
I like the I like the Colts Niners and Giants.
Niners two and a half over the Giants. I'm sorry
about That's right, that's been weird again. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
It's you know, like you have like a I've had
this headset. I don't know, excet I buy a whole
new headset. It's the thing that stops. It's like a
the stack thing's happening again. This is an interesting game
because I I we talked about earlier, like what what
are the Giants without Scataboo? I really I I often

(01:11:50):
believe the offensive line is the harpy of your team.
I think Scataboo was like the harpy of that offense,
you know, like, and he's not there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
I just don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
Scataboo no name, but the Niners without both with that
warner we saw last week kind of caught up to them, right,
this one's this one's his number is fishy man.

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
I I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:12:13):
There's also a thought of, like, you know, the Giants
trading came on tomorrow. I know they said they're not,
but that's gotta be a little bit on top of
the mind and maybe the the Thibodeau as well.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
I I don't know. This game feels really has it.
It feels like it hasn't. The potential will be very odd.
I can see that. Yeah, yeah, Jones starts again. Uh.
I tend to think like you do that. I don't
know how the Giants overcome scatterb the loss because it's

(01:12:44):
just another weapon and and he's an emotional leader guy.
Like you know, I'm not even sure it's like the
actual play. It's it's like.

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
It's just it's just like him, like him, Like it's
just him as a as a as a player, and
his energy he bring he brings.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
Right, that's what I mean, like as an emotional energy guy,
as an energy energy leader. I meant to say, because yeah,
that's infectious, and I agree with you. They looked, Now
the nature of the injury took all the air out,
but his presence, they felt his lack of presence. All right,
we'll take quick TL, come right back, continue to go

(01:13:28):
through Sunday. Sunday Sunday, Jeff Andant hanging right here. Fox
Sports Radio. Oh, welcome back Fellas and Jeff. All right,
my man, let's uh, let's go further. Quickly tried a
little bit. Texans and Broncos in fascinating game. Dever obviously

(01:13:49):
looks good. Houston defense is legit.

Speaker 3 (01:13:52):
Though, yeah, I just don't know if I buy Houston's
offense for surgery. They play nine of his defense that
really can't rush the passer, and so I am I jeez,
under feels.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
Like this is under a game? What it feels like
it's a very low totally yeah, yeah, totally. Uh. Vikings
and Lions. I think the Lions smoked them, so do
why how about this destroy them?

Speaker 3 (01:14:21):
Oh, I'll tell you that's interesting number right here. Jared
Goff as a Lion's quarterback, has played the Vikings eight times.
What do you think he is against the spread in eight?

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
All right? Well against the seven and one eight? No,
oh my god. Yeah, he owns them. Yeah. Well, I
also think that they're If I'm making my power rankings
in the NFC, I got them one.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
Uh yeah, I yeah, I don't know why you wouldn't
have them one yeah at a Philly right now. They
also they also get a lot of people back to
off off injury in the secondary, so I think this
is a good.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
Spot to be. Yeah, yeah, I I would kind of
racket Lions, Eagles Packers, right yeah, I think right now,
that's kind of how I would look at it. I
like Tampa when the Tampa is healthy. I think Tampa
can be dangerous the Rams, of course, but I think
it's kind of what you're looking at. I agreed. And

(01:15:20):
then the Eagles are on the by. They play at
green Bay on a Monday and Detroit in Philly the
following Sunday night. So the NFC will you'll have a
direction after you I don't know November.

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
I don't think look at spots is actual a thing
though I'm not that concerned about it in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
I should say, what do you mean?

Speaker 3 (01:15:44):
But I don't, you know in college football like look
how you look at I don't think that's the thing
in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
No, I just think you get I think the Eagles
are going to be tested in that. You got to
go at do you have a buy? And then you're
at Green Bay on a Monday night on Sunday night,
and then you're then you're in Dallas. You're a first
place schedule. Man, it's just a life of first play schedule.
It's hard, right. I mean they got Dallas, uh after Detroit,

(01:16:10):
then Chicago on Black Friday, and then you're gonna go
to the Chargers and that's tough game. So yeah, you're
gonna get tested a little bit. Uh Green Bay, Carolina, UHH, Raiders, Jaguars,
Ram Saints. Man, that is a rough. It's a rough Sunday,

(01:16:32):
isn't it. It's not pretty. It's not They ain't gonna
be pretty, man, well, that's the jewel is obviously Kansas
City Buffalo. Uh yet again, and it's you're gonna, We're gonna.
I love these games, man, They're back and forth. They're
always great. They are so for years.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
The Bill have won this game four years in the
row in the regular season, right and the reason why
they have won this game so many times in a
row is because they have been better, right than Kansas
City for all they just have They've been better than
Kansas City. This year, I don't think they're better than
Kansas City right now. You look at the way that

(01:17:23):
the Chiefs are playing offensively, right for five straight games now,
five straight games to have scored twenty eight points some more,
which was never real and that just wasn't the case.
For years they looked at offense looks completely whole. Now
the Bills defensive injuries I think are are a problem.
They're they're becoming an issue, especially in the defensive line.
And I think Malan is back this week, but they

(01:17:44):
lost at Oliver. I think the Chiefs. I think Chiefs
are better right now, which again you have not been
able to say for four years in the regular season
right that the postseason is a different thing.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
I think. I think they're better. I think they're better
this year. I think the Chiefs going to Buffalo win. Yeah,
I do too. And it comes down to mahomes as
healthy weapons now correct. So now now, I mean you
look at it. When you got Rice and Worthy, then
everybody falls into place, right, so they could protect they've

(01:18:15):
protected him well, so their old line has been fixed.
You now give him two legitimate weapons to go along
with a run game, and you know you're tight end
Kelsey and Noah Gray and everybody else like it just
it all fits now and I love having you know,
Brishard Smith, Like, I just think he's got you know,

(01:18:37):
and he's got his toys, and I think it's the
best offense around him since Tyreek Hill. Oh I don't
think that's even a I don't know, I don't think
that's even a discussion. I think it is. It absolutely is. Yeah,
oh yeah, absolutely, And then you give him, you give
him legitimate weapons. He's still the best quarterback and he's
still the best quarterback by far. So yes, you know,

(01:18:59):
we kind of forget that, like, oh well I had
some fantasy guy go oh yeah, my hopes. I don't
all understand it. Fantasy wise, he's not who cares, man exactly?
Come on, man, bless your heart. Problem. Watch watch the watch.

Speaker 3 (01:19:16):
If your favorite for football team had to open a quarterback,
you would draft Patrick Mahomes first.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
It's it's that easy. That's a right right. I'm with you, man,
I know it's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (01:19:28):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
It's ridiculous. It's it's it's actually stupid. All right, sit tight,
We're gonna go through the college. We got a lot
of stuff. They go next. Our fellas own Fox Sports

All right, my man, time to look at today's college
football slate. As we gain in on their you get

(01:21:01):
in on the actions. It's in week ten in college football, buddy,
week ten, man, and it's really November, buddy. You know
it's nuts, right, dude. Penn State, Ohio State right now,
Ohio State. He's what a twenty point favorite?

Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
And this game was a circle game. Oh it was
Oregon and it was Ohio State and it was like,
oh my, you know, the road to the national Championship
and all these lofty expectations and now you know, fast forward,

(01:21:46):
Franklin's gone, Aler's hurt. They're a mess, and the season
just went sideways. That being said, I kind of think,
so this is Penn State Super Bowl today, right, they're
off a buy So it's Ohio State. By the way, like,
if they have any play they've been waiting to run,

(01:22:07):
If anything they've been waiting to do, this is the
game to do. It at least.

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
I think there's some pride early in this game. I
think Ohio State will overwhelm them by the end of it.
I don't think there's a lot of points scored in
this game today too. It's still at noon and it's early,
and I think Penn State is just it's just not
as good as even if if Alur was playing. I
don't think they're as good. This number is probably ten

(01:22:34):
if hours still playing, or twelve. This number was four,
by the way, in the preseason. I think it's twenty now,
which is they's been fluctuating.

Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
Up and down. It's been moving around maybe nineteen right now.
It's gonna be rough one for Petsy, but I think
early that they show some pride, like in their again,
eventually the pride, you know whatever, it's over because you
just you can't you're not good enough. But I think
that they get to a point today where it is
at least early on. It's tough for Ohio State. So

(01:23:06):
my only my question, and I feel you it would
the reason it would stand, it would stand, and think
that right, I hope some problem is the only problem is, man,
how did they squarep their offense is show now one dimensional.
They just go to Allen and the single is not
even part of it. They can't complete a pass.

Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
Well, okay, I I think that, uh, I think that
they can. So we see this a lot. I'll open
this up now. A lot of times we see uh
And this is a Jackson Dart thing too. By the way,
I'm about to say, we're talking about the giants earlier

(01:23:50):
early in games.

Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
When when when there's a script?

Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
So for those who run this through really quickly, so
a lot of times the beginning of games, offensive corniers
come up with an opening script.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
Okay. There's two ways to do that, right.

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
One is you have a handful of plays you practice
all week that you like, and you sort of determine
that these handful of plays are going to be run
early on. And this order might vary, but these are
the plays we like early on. There's others like Andy
Reid and that script the first fifteen plays for normal
down and distance, and then they have their first third
and short third and medium third and long third eleven

(01:24:25):
plus first red zone play first, you know, and they
just they have that menu and they just run down
the menu of plays in order.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
I've been there, in order of how they Yeah. Yeah, So.

Speaker 3 (01:24:39):
A lot of times offenses will start fast with young
quarterbacks or inxpensed quarterbacks because they're on that script, and
then eventually they're off the script and it changes. Like
Jackson Dart's really early is good, really early in games,
it's efficiency at least, and then it sort of wanes
as they get off the script. So for Penn State,

(01:25:00):
you could be on the script early. Now if you
can stop on first and ten. Now it's second and ten,
you're really off the script, to be honest with, you're
off the script immediately. But if you can stay on
the script, you know you can start in theory. In
theory start faster and then wane as.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
The game goes on. Now, some coaches have a second
half script, believer or not.

Speaker 3 (01:25:20):
And the point of the early script is to see
what the defense is doing, and it gives you an
opportunity to try some things to set up things for later.
So I liked it as a players to know what
we were doing early. It also then helped me to
know what maybe we're doing later too. But I like
that we practice these plays. These are the plays that
you think are going to work. Early on, you have
confidence in these plays they go well and walk through

(01:25:41):
and whatnot, and you go out, but you have to
stay ahead of the change. You can't be second and ten.
You can't be third and eleven. I mean, it doesn't
work that way. So it becomes very imperative for Penn
State to win the early downs, to try to try
to stay on script as much as possible.

Speaker 2 (01:25:53):
Here. Yeah, I mean any other issues too. You've got
a quarterback. It's he's not very good. I mean that's
the problem. Uh, how about this game? This is awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:26:07):
Texas and Vanderbilt. Yeah, I guess the question is what
do you what do you believe is uh Israel?

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
Do we believe that Vanderbilt? Uh? They continued.

Speaker 3 (01:26:25):
They've played now multiple weeks in a row of really
really tough competition, right, they've played up here.

Speaker 2 (01:26:32):
Now I got it? You ready? Yeah, this is unbelievable.
So you had vander Alabama they lost, correct, Then they
beat l s U. Yep, Then they beat Missouri. Missouri
is good. Like that's that's a lot. And if you

(01:26:53):
go past you know at Georgia State, but even before that,
you know you won at South Carolina, know in a
big way. You want at Virginia Tech also in a
big way. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:27:07):
So now you're on the road of Texas and look,
Arch Manning is gonna play today. The Texas office has
not been at you as we thought, but the defense
has been really good. And you know, this is Texas
their first home conference game of the season.

Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
Yeah, it's nuts.

Speaker 3 (01:27:25):
Didn't played at home all season. I I I feel
a little contrarian today. I think that Texas covers It's
it's uh, it's just.

Speaker 2 (01:27:38):
Giving.

Speaker 3 (01:27:39):
I want to give Vandy all the credit they deserve,
but this is this is a fourth straight like major
monster game, and I just don't know if they have
it in them to continue to win this way each
and every week. Their offense, by the way, has strong

(01:28:00):
go a little bit more against some of these better
defense right fourteen against Bama, seventeen against Missouri last week.

Speaker 2 (01:28:05):
I can see Texas defense kind of shut them down
and and you.

Speaker 3 (01:28:10):
Pavia It's been great, obviously fantastic, but he is their
run game, like, he's their run game, and I think
you have to have multiple ways to beat this Texas defense.
Now again, Arch has to do his job in this spot,
and the Texas offensive line is not is not great.

Speaker 2 (01:28:28):
But I.

Speaker 3 (01:28:31):
I do think Texas. Look, I'm prepared to look dumb
come three o'clock today, but I think Texas woods and
covers this game.

Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
I really do. Yeah, I can. I kind of like
the omder too. I do think it's under. It was so.

Speaker 3 (01:28:47):
I was doing a show the other day, my gambling show,
and I like the game out the under. But it
went from like forty five to forty seven to forty
six and a half. It's been all over the place
for the under, you know, in this in this game.
So I think the under is certainly playable in this spot.

Speaker 2 (01:29:04):
Right now. Forty six and a half is the under
in this game? Yeah, all right, this next one. I'm
fascinated by your take because I think you like SMU
to scare Miami. I do.

Speaker 3 (01:29:18):
He'd be even win outright. Yeah, So, Amark Crysta ball
has not been good in November. It's just size bugaboo.
I watched it Orgon, I watched in Miami. It's just
it's it's not you know, it's uh, it's it's not
great in November. And this is their first game in
the season outside of Miami. Excuse me, outside of Florida.
Excuse me outside of Florida, November first, first game leaving

(01:29:41):
Little Chiley today in Dallas, early kickoff, twelve Eastern. I mean,
I'm using gave a run for their money. I think
they are.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
I don't think gonna. I don't know if I sink
we can win the game. I don't think they're good
enough over sixty minutes to win this game. But I
think that they can give them a run for their money.

Speaker 3 (01:29:58):
They're gonna have Tom's gonna to play litt bit better
offensively running the football.

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
I think to do this.

Speaker 3 (01:30:05):
Look, you just the reason we talk about about balance
is because when you play a team like you know,
like like Miami is defense is really good. You can't
just do one thing like you can't just be a
good passing team. You have to be able to pass
to keep a defense off balance. And so I'm not
sure as he runs the ball officially enough to keep

(01:30:25):
Miami's off balance. But I do think that they will
scare them today. I you know, it's funny because I
felt the same thing.

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
I look at him, and I like Miami, but there's
something about them, and I love the interior defensive line,
and I'd been pretty right on with them, like there
are a couple of games. I kind of felt them,
but I think you're right here. I think I said
you could scare them. I think it's gonna be a

(01:30:58):
good football game.

Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
I am uh, I'm pretty distraught that YouTube TV and
ESPN can't work or anything out, because this is gonna
really rude in my quad box at noon today, both
the SMU and test Penn State, Ohio State.

Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:31:13):
I so I have direct TV and I have YouTube
TV because I'm I just love giving money to big corporations.
This is the reason why though I have I have
all this money, because I also money. I have all
this money, I have all this uh these I spent
all this money, I should say, because I just want
to not miss anything. And this way, you know, I'll

(01:31:33):
have the app. I think DirecTV has a quadbox too.
You can't do it quite like YouTube TV, but at
least I have the opportunity to watch all the games today.
If you have YouTube TV, you're screwed only right, you
can't watch US PAYN games today.

Speaker 2 (01:31:46):
Yeah, I have comcasts, so I have a multiview. So
we have that that. I love that quad you you
you you have Sunday ticket though, right, or you don't
have Sunday ticket. Yeah, yeah, but so I have you.
I just got YouTube TV also because I've also.

Speaker 3 (01:31:59):
Had carried issues, you know, like the local like NBC
did work for a month and Loos did work for
a month.

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
So I so I just, uh, yeah, I spend too
much money, That's what I meant to say. No, I know,
I do the same thing. I mean we have I
have every package. You know, you watch every game, well
every you know, it's it's it's a good problem is
a problem we're having so today. So it's funny.

Speaker 3 (01:32:21):
My wife not not I've been mentioned before, not sports person,
but we we have we have parties every now and then.
We have some of them in the spring and in
the spring, like we'll have like people over or whatever.
On a sun Saturday Sunday. My wife always be like,
put sports on.

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
I'm like, honey, it's noon on a Saturday in May.
There's no sports on? Like what do you want? Not
I keep anything on? Like put put something. I'm like,
I don't know what she's like. She always says that,
like put sports onto you for the dads. You don't
even want me to watch sports when I'm home. Now,
dads are over, we can watch sports together. But today
we have a softball party from my daughter's fall softball team,
and we've been heeting the pool for a couple of
days now, and the pools the be nice and warm

(01:33:01):
and toasty. And then I get to put on sports today.
Today's a day I get to put on sports. Put
on sports. O great to watch all the sports I
can today. No Organ today, no, like, I don't have
to the you know the I don't have to like.
It's nice because it's admitting that eighteen to twenty two
year olds will affect your mood all Saturday is not

(01:33:23):
great to admit, but that's the truth of it. But
because Organ is not playing today, I get to have
a nice, relaxing Saturday watching football with all the dads
of the softball team. Dude, I totally get it. The
Eagles are on a buye so it's like, all right,
I don't have those stress this weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:33:38):
I feel way less stressed about the Chiefs playing than
I do about the Ducks. The NFL season is such
a long season, man, like you can lose the dreams Like.

Speaker 2 (01:33:46):
Yeah, yeah, I agree, But it's it's the natural stress
when your team is playing. Yeah, but also to like
you when your NFL team is good and your Eagles
are good, the Chiefs are good. There's like a certain
like vibe to a game where like you just sort
of know what you're you're gonna get.

Speaker 5 (01:34:06):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:34:06):
You might know Eagles might not play well in the games,
you know, but you sort of know what you're gonna
I don't know what I'm getting from Collegeable.

Speaker 2 (01:34:12):
Every week, I think I know what I'm getting. True,
I know, I think I know. Yeah it's true. Though,
Uh Georgia Florida today, Yeah, give me, give me Georgia.
This is that line. The only thing about that line
is cheap seven and a half. Dude, you know there's
some sevens out there. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:34:33):
That's that's I don't get it. That's my guess is
that people think there's a some sort of new coach
bump at Florida, and I just don't believe that. I
don't believe in that. I don't think that's a thing.
And so I am unconvinced that Florida keeps this game close.

(01:34:53):
Georgia's defense has had problems, absolutely, but they've actually when
they've had to, they've really sort of sacked up and
made a lot of plays. And I think that there's
a I think that off the by there's gonna be
renewed focused on defense during practice at Georgia and their
defense was gonna come to play. Their offense has been

(01:35:14):
really good, and I think that that those two things
are really Florida is what they are. Man Like billion
Napier leaving doesn't change anything for We actually had Curby
Smart on my podcast. We asked him, like, how do
you prepare with a new coach? He goes same way.
We just watch the film like nothing changes. We look
at what happened uc A leg You're like, that's what
happens everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
It's not. It's not when you coach, change coach, it
really isn't.

Speaker 4 (01:35:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:35:38):
Yeah, So I'm on. I'm on Georgia minus seven. Uh,
Indiana's got to in my Maryland. They got a layout.

Speaker 3 (01:35:47):
I actually, I actually think Maryland might keep this game close.
But it's a I think it's a tough spot for
Indiana just emotionally, and you have to when we talk
about college football, you have to talk about the age
of these players, right and sort of the emotional immaturity
sometimes and the immaturity may be the wrong word, but

(01:36:08):
just so, it's the fame of Indiana.

Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:36:10):
You beat Oregon, come on, beat Michigan State. You have
a big new kickoff game national TV that you win
fifty six to six, and the the final score was
I think we talk about last Indiana was my favorite wager.

Speaker 2 (01:36:19):
I love the Indiana way. Now you're at Maryland and
then next week you're at Penn State, and I understand
that Penn State is not what they used to be,
but still important, Like it's still Penn State.

Speaker 3 (01:36:29):
Like you're still going like on the road, playing a
team in theory that you can keep it close. And
then all of a sudden, right in the middle of
this stretch of sneak, and you go, oh, good old Maryland,
your twenty one point favorite on the road at Maryland.
Maryland's defensive line is good. I think this game is
going to be close.

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
I do.

Speaker 3 (01:36:48):
I'm prepared to be very wrong and India just blows
out out like they do everyone else. But I think
this game is close.

Speaker 2 (01:36:52):
I don't think Indiana loses. I think it's close.

Speaker 4 (01:36:54):
Though.

Speaker 2 (01:36:55):
Do you think Maryland puts up some points or do
you just think.

Speaker 3 (01:36:58):
I just think that what I just think it's like
sort of like a just a kind of like an
ugly game like thirty one seventeen like that. It's not
a sleepy, sleepy spot for Indiana.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
You know, it is a tough spot. It is a
tough spot. That's it. I only I only Indiana. Any
stress of losing this game, Irish, no stress for the Irish.
Suddenly now five and two and keep stacking with. Now
there's some math. There's some math.

Speaker 3 (01:37:26):
About them that interesting about them making the postseason because
acc might get three bits, believe it or not, and
that could that keep no name out of the playoff.
You were to tell me that Notre Dame was if
they've they've won the table.

Speaker 2 (01:37:40):
Here's why. Okay, so here, here's no way, here's why. Well,
here's why. Okay, here you go. Ready, So you have
you have Oregon, right, Ohio State, Indiana. That's three right,
you have the probably five sec teams. Here's here's what
you have one big twelve team and one group of
five team. Here's so that's nowt we're now actually ten,
so maybe four let's say four sec. Let's say four

(01:38:03):
sec right, three big three, Big ten, Big twelve and
uh and uh and in a group that's nine okay
with nine right now? Okay, so there's there's there's what
three spots left right. Miami goes eleven and one, doesn't
make the a CC's championship game. Georgia Tech is eleven
and one and in the ACY championship game, and let's say, uh,

(01:38:25):
someone else's is in, you know, Louisville, Okay, and Louisville
beats Georgia Tech. George Tak's eleven and two, Miami's eleven
and one, and the AC champion has to go to
the playoff? Are you taking ten and two, ten and
two Notre Dame over essentially eleven and one Georgia Tech
team right heading into the eleven one Miami already beat them.

(01:38:46):
That that's how Northdame gets left out. No, there's no
way I'm taking Georgia Tech over Notre Dame.

Speaker 3 (01:38:54):
You're you're gonna leave out somebody who played in the
conference who went undefeated.

Speaker 2 (01:38:58):
Again. Notre Dame team loses in the open by three,
but that's that's life and one by and one to
A and M in the first two games of the season,
so they're gonna lose by four points two games weeks
one and two, and be and run the table and
be done. No, no, I'm taking Notre Dame. What if

(01:39:18):
Georgia Tech's only lost it's to Georgia by two points,
I don't care. I mean, this is that's not that's
not right. I'm telling you this is the path. This
is the path for how they don't make the playoffs.
That would be criminal. It would be criminal to run
the table if you lose those two games, if you lose,

(01:39:38):
if by field goal at a point, if you do
if you.

Speaker 3 (01:39:41):
Join a conference, that doesn't happen. F y I, but
no one join a conference here. It goes well if
you join a conference here in the Championshi.

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
I'm not being a hater. I'm saying if they join
a conference, a conference championship game and they want to
worry about this, But look, you can't punish Georgia Tech
eleven and one. Let's say they beat, you know, they
to Georgia and the season. Who's better Notre Dame of
Georgia Tech name, But that's not But this isn't about
who's better tho. It's never been about it better your
results of the season, and unfortunately it should be you

(01:40:13):
want to create, the best game should be who's better.
I've always thought that, all.

Speaker 3 (01:40:17):
Right, but we can we can agree on that on
just taking the top twelve in Vegas. But that's not
the way that the committee works.

Speaker 2 (01:40:24):
I believe me. I've been around. I know it. I
think it's wrong. I think Notre Dame should be like
you know, I don't even think it's cloak. I think
Notre Dame's much better to Georgia Tech. That's it, you know,
that's my feeling. I don't think that.

Speaker 3 (01:40:37):
I don't think they're going to put his Georgia Tech
for being undefeated a conference play. Uh again, the loss
were projected by this slop conference. The loss we're projecting,
by the way, would be to Georgia and the Whong game,
which is a conference game.

Speaker 2 (01:40:49):

(01:43:52):

Speaker 4 (01:43:54):
Jeff, I appreciate that, my friend.

Speaker 2 (01:43:56):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (01:43:57):
Well, I always love doing this stuff with you. Which
week hopefully the good week both of us.

Speaker 3 (01:44:01):
I think it would be be a nice week. My
favorite wager, though, I feel like CLV is mushing it.
I love Nebraska. I love them all week and then
I have the number move two points.

Speaker 2 (01:44:12):
Now I hate it.

Speaker 3 (01:44:13):
What are your thoughts on on on Nebraska. I actually
got a seven this week, but it's souths like four
and a half Nebraska. Someone's got to give in this game.
It feels like between Riley's record against the spread on
the road as a road favorite, and also Matt Rule
obviously not being able to win, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:44:29):
This type of game.

Speaker 4 (01:44:31):
Yeah, it's it's it's funny. It was telling Anthony like, yeah,
I know Anthony's very close with coach Rule, and because
I've always kind of just really rooted for Nebraska and
I really want them to do well. But I was
telling Anthy but man, their their defense is just well
I watched them. It's like, oh, it's just just not there.

(01:44:54):
But here's the thing. I do trust them offensively. I
think they definitely can score. Else. The thing I like
in that game or anything else against that CE was
probably the over if I think points will be scored.
I don't trust either defense there against stops Jeff, that's
my reading that particular game.

Speaker 3 (01:45:15):
What do you think, Jeff, I mean, I I The
thing about USC on the road is that Lincoln Riley
just calls plays from a different place.

Speaker 2 (01:45:24):
Shoot, I think I don't know. I just like he
just like I don't. I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:45:28):
I can't explain like, I can't explain it, like I
agree with everything you said, But then he goes in
and calls like these fourth down plays, Like what what
place sheet is that from?

Speaker 2 (01:45:35):
What about the one you use at home when you
call the good plays? I can't explain you any road
like that's the problem with USC. They just and then look,
they're gonna score ports the rest on the score. But
if these critical moments that us he doesn't win on
the road, that they just win a lot more often
at home. Yeah, Yeah, it's definitely.

Speaker 4 (01:45:51):
Does seem that way. Yeah, definitely really does seem that way.
I'm not I'm not going to disagree with that.

Speaker 2 (01:45:56):
All right, Braton, Let's let's move quickly through the card today.
Let's go to your Commodores because your son goes there
and they're gonna be at Texas. I'm sure you'll get
together and watch the game on campus. At noon. How
do you see this one? Texas three and a half.

Speaker 4 (01:46:15):
Yeah, you know, it's funny at they like. If you
just go by how the teams have been this year,
it's been a far more impressive team, far more But again,
I just do think this is a tough spot for
Vanderbilt's been there. I think this is a fourth top
twenty five team in a row they played. This is
kind of like out of their element of what they've
been used to. It's just a hard matchup in my

(01:46:37):
opinion this particular week. I want to I mean, again,
I really can't stand Texas, Jeff, I don't a few
Riggan I think they I think they're just awful, but
I cannot I just cannot quite get there. But I
do think Bandy is the better team. But I'm laying
off this one.

Speaker 3 (01:46:52):
It would be Texas our past. I think for the
reasons that you said, this is just a tough spot
for Vandy to be an another early game. I kind
of like of you to cover this game. The numbers
come down a little bit, but I just think this
is a good spot for them. Batsball for Miami, what
do you think about SEMBU?

Speaker 4 (01:47:12):
Miami definitely in the SMU side, Jeff, Miami again the
bubble kind of burst against Louisgo, where we saw again
this is a team I've been waiting for Carson Beck
to and not trying to be nasty, but to do
what he did again Louisgo. I'm not a fan of
his at all. I thought this Miami team was overrated.

(01:47:34):
And again, you know SMU is a team that's been
very disappointing all year. But yeah, this is the kind
of game he has. Jeff, I think you would agree
Miami doesn't only not win, they mean not cover. They
usually lose out right. I don't trust Miami even a
little bit. To me, I think that's using what the
money line has some value. I just don't trust Miami,
especially after losing that game. I wouldn't be shocked if

(01:47:57):
some of the wheels started to fall off a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:47:58):
Potentially, I could see that. Yeah, I can totally see that.
I've stay Penn State. We were trying about it earlier
because it's just amazing where you think about this year
and how the wheels have fallen off in LSU with

(01:48:19):
no Smile, Penn State with alor right, and even Florida.
I mean, like we've seen these schools just you know,
fall off the map. It's wild.

Speaker 4 (01:48:32):
Yeah, you're you're absolutely right. If you get into the
Penn State fall Raso to me is the off timer.
I don't remember if I don't have to really do
a deep dive. But the team was just to be
top three like this that just had everything in like
this is pretty you know, almost unheard of. But you're
saying they're going to struggle to score any points in
this game. I mean when I say any points, I
mean any points. The line is so high. Though I'm

(01:48:54):
not not again, I'm not going to do it, but
I could. I cannot back Penn State in any way,
shape or form. I just don't. I don't think they're
gonna score. So, you know, it's just it's really hard
for the back. The team I think is going to
be completely impotant on the offensive side of the ball,
and I don't think they're going to have any success
against Ohio State.

Speaker 3 (01:49:10):
Going all the way to the last game of the
night between the right opponents here Utah Isnentiy. This number
keeps climbing up and up and up, and it's surprised me.
I'm okay, So I'm hoping that it comes back down.
It's like, I take Utah at some point today. What
are your thoughts on Utah Cincinnati?

Speaker 4 (01:49:27):
It's just the same asures. I'm surprised the line has
gone the way it's gone. And again it's they're they're
basically getting on their hands and knees begging you, begging
you to take Cincinnati. I mean it's I mean it's like,
you know, that line to me is just really really
really high. Again, I personally, I can't lay that many

(01:49:52):
points with Utah. I just can't. I can't. I can't
do it. I cannot do it, I think.

Speaker 2 (01:49:59):
But again then I do today, I think we will.
We'll see.

Speaker 4 (01:50:04):
Yeah, I mean it's over ten points. I just it's
actually it's Cincinnati your past personally, that number, at that number,
it's Cincinnati your past.

Speaker 2 (01:50:13):
You like. I like State a little bit against Georgia.

Speaker 4 (01:50:16):
Tech Anti State. I think Anti State is very very
serviceable on one side of the ball. Like I actually
think if they can that they can score the I
mean that is that is an offense I think is
legitimately can't score. And watching Tech play last week in
personal again, I was incredibly underwhelmed. I mean, I mean

(01:50:37):
extremely underwhelmed. That's the team that I think is underrated
to start the year, overrated to start right now. I
don't think they're really that great at all. To me,
it would be NC State, but definitely be my side
on that one.

Speaker 3 (01:50:50):
I mean, I think that they're over Georgia over might
be a play mean State just can't stop anybody.

Speaker 2 (01:50:56):
I'm kind of curious how horrible defensively?

Speaker 3 (01:50:58):
Yeah, how that one goes. I'll save you from breaking
down to Washington State, Oregon State. We'll head to Oklahoma
and Tennessee here, William, what do we got here for
Oklahoma Tennessee.

Speaker 4 (01:51:12):
I really like Tennessee. I think Tennessee not only wins
this one draft, I think they win this one by
double digits. Oklahoma. I don't like the trajectory of what
I'm seeing from this team. I think that we're now
going to see inn Oklahoma team. I'm going to call
this one right now that not only like forget making
the playoffs. I'm gonna bet you this team goes into

(01:51:35):
free fall from this state for fel Free to laugh
at me if I'm wrong. Added to the list, But
I absolutely think Tennessee not only again I think Tennessee
is going to win this game by fourteen plus. I
don't like anything I see out of Oklahoma recently. I
think we saw the peak of their season against Michigan,
and now I think we see a team, in my opinion,

(01:51:56):
is really not even very good, and I think Tennessee
is pretty good. I thought this line should be closer
to seven a Mary Lee too, I get. I think
this is actually gonna be a blowout.

Speaker 2 (01:52:09):
Yeah yeah's Alhoma finishes with six wins. Yeah they're six
and two right now? Oh my god. I like the
older in the game as Actually, I don't think there's
gonna be a lot of points. All right, let's take
a quick too. We'll come back and take a look
at the NFL where the Fellas Jeff and Att with

(01:52:30):
the Brain Fellas on Fox. Welcome back Fellas and Jeff
and the Brain. Hey Brain, Game seven tonight? Who do
you like? Before we get to the NFL? Who do
you like? Game seven tonight?

Speaker 4 (01:52:52):
Oh my god, yeah, phenomenal. Look, this is actually one game, Anthony,
We're actually really do sing. I've been on the Toronto
side and almost all these games, but this is the
one game I thought yesterday too, But I thought that
this game, I really do think that does favor the
Dodgers because we're going to get a healthy Joseph Otani

(01:53:14):
and Glass now who really should be more or less
on full rest. And I just ensure there's probably their
weakest one and they're probably gonna have Beeber or whatnot.
But I just I really do think this game does
favor the Dodgers because I think they can maybe mask
their lack of bullpen depths by having ever one of
their starters go, and their starters are all terrific to me,

(01:53:37):
I actually do think the Dodgers meriti bet here. I
don't think the line was that it is high that
should have been actually because I think in a game
where they can use all their starters, this is actually
the one time ever I will say the Dodgers really
should win the game because of how much their starting
pitching should be able to have this edge in my
personal opinion, how about that.

Speaker 3 (01:53:57):
Yeah, give me the under seven under under eight that
give me under eight, I would even take. I would
even take I'm not is it up yet?

Speaker 2 (01:54:09):
Uh? Where's that? Yeah? I would take sures are Oh wow,
this is this can't wait? This can't be right outs recorded.
It's eight and a half right now, it makes sense?

Speaker 4 (01:54:20):
Yeah, absolutely makes sense.

Speaker 3 (01:54:21):
Yeah, show nine and a half. Geezer yea pass. Yeah,
so Otani is under I was I thought it would
be like twelve and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:54:33):
But yeah, I would look.

Speaker 3 (01:54:35):
At under starting pitching for the eight and a half kids.
It's plus money. But Otani under nine and a half
outs I look at that too.

Speaker 4 (01:54:43):
Well, that makes for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:54:44):
How many had so I made that. I made this point.

Speaker 3 (01:54:48):
I made this point earlier that I think O Tani,
he's done a lot in this series. I wonder by
Game seven how much juice he has in his body
for this to to pitch tonight. You know, he's just
done a lot in this series, so I don't know
how much energy he's got to I would be shocked
if he had a long pitching night based off of

(01:55:08):
just all he's done in this series. Right, he's pitching
Game seven. The emotion of that, plus so all the
hitting is done, I think I think it's a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:55:15):
Yeah, so he he on wait, wait, hold on, hold on.
He pitched on Tuesday. Yeah, he's got full rest, He's fine.

Speaker 4 (01:55:26):
Yeah, Actually, I'm going to disagree with you here nine
and a half out.

Speaker 2 (01:55:30):
So Tommy, I think I'm not crazy right now. I
think that's what it says. It's under Yeah, I'm not
outs recorded it looks like nine and a half.

Speaker 4 (01:55:39):
Yeah, I'm actually I'm actually going to bet over nine
because actually he is on full rest.

Speaker 2 (01:55:45):
He's on three days. He's on three days rest. But
three days rest is fine. I mean, he can give
you four ratings like I I would agree on Tuesday,
pitch Tuesday, Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (01:56:01):
Oh, Tuesday, Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:56:03):
No, it's a Tuesday, and he's on three days rest.
You have, but you can still go three days rest.
I mean it's not you know, this is a game seven.
I think he gives you. I think they're hoping for
four to five strong at of them.

Speaker 4 (01:56:18):
Yeah, no, I I again, for some reason, I thought it, yeah, okay, yeah,
I mean I would I'd be on his overside because
I do think that he still will get that one
against game seven. I don't I don't think they're worried
about doing anything like saving Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:56:33):
I mean no, this is it, right, I mean this
is the legend the game seven. He starts it gives
you five.

Speaker 4 (01:56:41):
Yeah, yeah, the sure a one I totally, I totally
get the shures are one. The Otani one I actually
think is light personally. Yeah, and actually if he's even
forty rest. They played the twenty seventh Doctor twenty sevenths.

Speaker 2 (01:57:00):
He pitched Lil Tuesday. I'm looking at Tuesday though, the
twenty eighth.

Speaker 4 (01:57:05):
This is Monday, October twenty seventh. I'm looking atay that
that was that game three rate. I got confusion, right,
he'sa on three day dress. My back hy apologizes everyone. Yeah, yes,
three day dress, but I yes, he gets their foot.

Speaker 2 (01:57:19):
We'll say yeah, I do too. All right, let's go
NFL real fast. First, the jewel of the day is
Chiefs Bills. How do you say we both like Kansas City?
How do you feel this one?

Speaker 4 (01:57:32):
Well? I mean to me again, I did that the
bills plus the dollar twenty five only because again, in
my opinion, I thought this game was dead even I
made this game a pick, and I will always bet
on something. I think it's fifty to fifty. You know,
if you give me there's no green and Roulette and
you give me black bread and you give me plus
one twenty five, I'm betting whatever one you give me,
same thing, here. I think the fifty fifty game game

(01:57:53):
comes down to the last play. In my opinion, I'll
take Buffalo when I think it's a total coin flip game.

Speaker 3 (01:57:58):
My analysis essentially is the Buffalo has won this game
for so many years because they've been better.

Speaker 2 (01:58:03):
Are the Chiefs are better this season? And I can't
say that to win and cover this game, we'll say
it'd be fun, be a great game. How about Patriots Falcons?
Brain will.

Speaker 4 (01:58:14):
Fine in my opinion is too high, and I've been
one of the New England's been the best team in
the NFL From me, I for them like every week.
I have big future of them and I really respect
this New England team. By the lines too high, I
actually think they put I ges especially we saw the
worst Jeff you be played in the league many years,

(01:58:35):
you know the saying, and you've lived. I'm sure they're
not as good. The last game in as badge, last
game to meet the Falcons kind of the definition of that.
Last week, we saw everything and everything they could go
against them, to go against them, I think they can
actually win this game out right, and this lines too
high and this game will be close. I know Stevens
is not great, but no running back death. Right now
for New England, his game is very very close, and

(01:58:56):
I actually kind of think New England they lose the
game out right. I bet they Falcons getting six. I
still like him getting five and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:59:02):
How about eight Falcons? No chance. Indy and Pittsburgh, I
love the Colts of this one.

Speaker 4 (01:59:13):
Yeah, you know, since the sort of again kind of times,
you just go by what the teams have looked like.
I don't know how you don't be on the Indie
side again. You're just kind of living in the past.
And I live bit with Pittsburgh's defense. That being said,
at three and a half, I'm not that in the game,
but I just fact it's three and a half. I
can't I cannot get there. For me, I'm laying off
this one, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:59:33):
We got we're up against Seattle, something like Washington. Hurry
ups are all
