LA Sports, a Fox College football analyst, and on X
at the old v.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Petros Good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Morning, Hello, Hello there he is.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I mean, congratulations. USC football is back.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Certainly looked like it didn't It.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Played some defenses.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Yeah, that's the first time in many many years, like
there's been some individual great performances. Sam Darnold was great,
no offense. LeVar we had, well he beat Penn State
in that rose all right. Marquise Lee was really really
individually spectacular. Caleb Williams was a great individual player. But
(02:03):
that's the best top to bottom team effort that I've
seen from USC as far as like a football team
goes since like the ed Ojeron Interim era. Because they tackled,
They tackled people in the open field. They weren't just
a sieve defensively, you couldn't just run all over them.
(02:24):
And then something else we talked about Lincoln Riley calling
plays on time, the ball getting out when it's supposed
to kind of helps the offense create an identity and
the team create an identity around that. And I was
really impressed. And USC was the more poised football team.
And I said this yesterday. If you had told me
(02:47):
Friday night last week that somebody is going to do
a fake shotgun blast in a guy's face after scoring
a touchdown and get a penalty, I would have told
you for sure that would be a USC guy. I
mean I would tell you nine times out of ten
that would be a USC guy. It wasn't. It was
an LSU guy. And they made Brian Kelly go full
(03:09):
Nikita Khrushchev and pound the table and take all kinds
of personal accountability. It was the top to bottom best
performance I've seen from a USC football team since Ed
was the head coach. And I have to give him
credit because well, you can't give them all the credit
because they didn't want to play the game, so they
(03:31):
spent most of the offseason trying to get out of
playing against LSU. But then you see what happens, Right,
If USC gets a big victory against a big time program,
it's a lot bigger and better than beating Utah State
by fifty. It gets everybody involved you move up in
the polls. Another great example as to why they need
(03:53):
to play Notre Dame every year and why Lincoln Riley
needs to worry about calling plays and creating a team
culture as opposed to scheduling or who USC is.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Going to play.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
You don't worry about that link and you play who's
on the schedule and see if you can beat him
before you leave for the NFL. But overall, I was very,
very impressed with the whole thing, and it gave me
the impression that USC is probably not going to be
as helpless as people think in the Big Ten.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
You know what I loved about that game?
Speaker 7 (04:21):
Petros I had the opportunity to sit down with Miller
Moss during the Big Ten media days, which a wonderful
young man, I mean really just said all the right things,
does the right things.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Phil's genuine. I mean, I had a good note because
he stayed right. I mean, here's the guy that actually
stay Yeah, I was gonna get to that.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
I was just gonna say, like, it was an example
really both for both quarterbacks like nuss Meyer who stayed
wait his opportunity, Miller Moss, who stayed waited for his opportunity,
and I thought both quarterbacks played outstanding, like absolutely outstanding,
and it should be a lesson to other quarterbacks out
there who are watching that, going like, you don't need
to go to some other school to eventually transfer to
another school to then like finally fit Like you're there,
(05:00):
You've arrived. I mean, not trying to compare to Dju,
but I mean, look out that's worked out so far
two games into this season. But I thought that was
almost like a telling sign of maybe this can slow
down some of the transfer portal stuff we see and
we allow kids to actually develop through a program like that,
and here's here's the reward.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Yeah, I mean it goes against everything that I guess
generally generationally these young people kind of expect, which is
immediate gratification, and you're not going to get that hanging
around and working and trying to figure it out. Now.
A guy like dj ujungle La, he's got to make
money now, right because he's not an NFL prospect like
(05:45):
he was when he was coming out of high school.
So if somebody's going to pay him six hundred and
fifty thousand dollars to play football in college, that's probably
going to be the biggest paycheck he's going to get.
And for those of us that watched him play year
in and year out, he's gotten left and less twitchy
and made less I thought State though he actually did
a lot for his draft stock.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
I think that was an opportunity that actually led me
to think, maybe this kid can play.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yeah, at the next level. I don't know. I mean
the underground rumblings when he was even when he started
the first week he started at Oregon State, was that
the backup was better than him and Aiden Chiles, the
kid who's now starting at Michigan State, but it takes
the over yeah, and he's getting his experience now with
Jonathan Smith. So I thought he did a lot better
(06:32):
at Oregon State, And in fact, that was one of
my impressions watching the Florida State game on Monday night,
which was Wow, Jonathan Smith really got all he could
out of this guy. And at the same time, the
rumblings were, man, we got to play the other guy.
Maybe the other guy's going to take us where we
need to go. DJ's probably not that guy, and he
(06:54):
ended up transferring. Obviously their circumstances changed dramatically, But you're right,
I mean, hang in there, But that's college football that
we grew up with too, right, Like we saw a
ton of guys who were a certain way when they
came in, and then they were a whole different player,
totally differently developed three or four years later. Like that's
(07:17):
kind of what we're used to because it was a
lot more difficult to transfer, a lot more difficult to
hang up your shoes and say I'm not doing this
or screw you guys, I'm going home. That's not really
part of what we grew up with in football. So
when we see somebody do something like Miller Moss that
we are kind of used to seeing, I mean, those
are the stories that we're kind of used to celebrating
(07:39):
on our sport twenty years ago. When we see it now,
it's even more and more impressive with the nuss Meyer
guy and Miller Moss. I don't know if it's going
to make much of a difference. I think the money
involved and the people involved, and how easy it is
to say I don't like this place anymore because the
strength coach pissed me off is still going to be
(07:59):
pretty prevalent. But we need to close one of those
transfer portals. At least one.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
I heard you say something pretty interesting in that initial
talk about USC winning is that maybe they're not as
you know, as weak as or may may not have
the results that people may think that they have in
the Big Ten. After that game, are you bullish on them,
like how well.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Do you think they can do in a Big ten?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
I mean, just asking for a friend, Petro.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I'm not exactly sure how. I just thought it was
a completely different mentality that I saw. And yes, one
game is one game, and in football, especially if you're
inside a team watching the tape of the week, one
is almost unrecognizable when you get into October and start
(08:53):
to develop your identity a little bit more. But I
guess what stood out to me to make me think, wow,
this is a whole different vibe was the coaching hires
that they made. I know that they went out and
hired real defensive coaches. Now, how quickly can you fix
a personnel group, a linebacker group, a defensive line group,
(09:15):
a secondary I've seen an offensive line group fixed over
one off season, and it blew my mind because it
was all the same guys, but they changed coaches, and
it blew my mind. To see that happen. That was
many years ago, and this was kind of equally mind
blowing to see guys making tackles in the open field
for USC, or stopping people right at the marker and
(09:41):
playing disciplined on defense and making adjustments in the second
half to where there wasn't as much room for the
wide receivers and the cushion that was there early was
no longer there. All that stuff kind of made me
feel like, Wow, Lincoln Riley did something. They forced him
to fire. All these air Raid big twelve soft guys,
Dan and Lynn, matt Enttz, Doug Belk, these coaches have
(10:04):
come in and changed USC's mentality in that way. I
feel a lot better about how they're going to be
up against because LSU is big, strong and fast. Say
what you will about Brian Kelly, they only won nine
games or ten games, and he hasn't gotten them over
the absolute hump yet, but they're big, strong and fast,
(10:26):
and USC was able to stand up to that in
a way that they haven't been in the past under
this coach and under Clay Helton. So overall, I guess
it was heartening to feel like, wow, you really can
fix something. Hiring a different staff and paying attention to
detail for one offseason. So they'll beat up Utah stait
(10:48):
and then they'll take a week off. We'll get an
idea what Michigan is when they go out to the
Big House and play cheron More.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Petrospabadek is joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. Get
him on X the old p So what else jumped
out to you week one in college football? Was there
a performance you saw that neither surprised you outside of
USC or one that you saw, Petros that you looked
at and said, well, what the hell was that?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Well, UCLA only beating Hawaii by three was a bit
of a trip.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Yeah, but you know, you know, Jonas won't like you
saying that.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Well, yeah, but the Hawaii battled. You know, you know, they.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Could have won. They came out and they came out
and stopped them and scored right away, and I was like, damn.
And then I started working Arizona State.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Petros Jonas said, you know, Rainbow Warriors winning may become
a new trend. You know, if they had won that.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Gees, it's a great program that nearly they tried to
get rid of.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
They're one and one Yeah, they filled up the ching.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
How about it, eight thousand people.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
It's always interesting to see, like you never really know
what you got any college football team, but in the
modern era of the answer portal and all that, you
really don't know what you have. And sometimes you look
at teams on paper like I had Wyoming Arizona State.
(12:11):
Wyoming won nine games last year, beat Texas Tech, played
Texas tough in Texas in the fourth quarter, I think
the game was tied, and they went to Arizona State
with a lot of the same personnel, a new coach,
but you know, from the same staff of Craig Bowle,
and got absolutely blown away by Arizona State. I mean
(12:34):
an Arizona State team. They got shut out almost or
did get shut out by Fresno State last year in
a game I did, and I was just absolutely dumbfounded
with how well they played. Their transfer guys played a
couple of guys they got from New Mexico State. Their
quarterback was really poised within the offense like that kind
(12:56):
of thing's really interesting, Like, Okay, this guy's from New
Mexico State, this guy's from Sacramento State, this guy's from
Austin p And yet they're they're playing together great. Last
year they had a bunch of different transfers and it
didn't come together like that. So it's always really interesting
to see what happens when you put the product on
(13:17):
the plate and sitting in front of a customer and
the game actually unfolds. So it was a fun first week.
It's always great to watch, maybe a little bit too
many lopsided victories, the feasting on the cupcakes, because the
games that you're really interested in, the ones we're really
talking about, is where people actually played each other, right,
Florida State, Boston College, SCLSU and so on and so forth.
(13:41):
And with a twelve team college football playoff, I don't
see why we can't have meaningful games week in and
week out during the regular season and play and play
and schedule bravely during the non conference. Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
If you should know the name, I mean, my god,
I mean theoretically, you know you're gonna get some three
lost teams that make it in a twelve team playoff.
I wish they went to sixteen for that reason. Petros,
because because I think one, I'm not sure teams need buys,
you know, I don't want to upset anyone by saying that,
I know it can be an extra long season then
for especially teams that plan a conference and all that.
(14:18):
But I guess the general point is it just it
feels like, do we need to let some teams take
off on a buy and then you know, let that
whole process sort itself out. I'd love to be a
little more inclusive. I just want to generally ask you
what were some what was like one thing that surprised
you about Week one college football? And then one of
the things that you kind of thought going into the
(14:39):
season that was kind of confirmed with what you saw.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
It's a little early to dig in my mind like that.
USC surprised me, no doubt. I was very pleasantly surprised
by just top to bottom USC's performance and the poise
and the way that whole thing was handled.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
I was impressed.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
So USC surprised me. Was surprised by Arizona State since
that was the game I called bye weeks. I mean,
the point you make, Brady, I think goes to a
bigger point where it was twelveteen playoffs, sixteen team playoff,
thirty team playoff like the NCAA tournament. I don't care
but we need schedule uniformity because if we're going to
(15:21):
have a big playoff where everybody's earning their way in,
we have to have schedule uniformity because we have to
get rid of the committee because there's nothing worse, nothing
more counterproductive in all of society than a goddamn committee
and that's got to go. So's that's where we have
to get to. Whether that means you don't get a
buye or this person gets a buy I don't know Hawaii,
(15:43):
you know UCLA needs a buy after going all the
way out there in Hawaiian beating them by three points,
and us he's gonna need a buye after beating up
on Utah State before they go to Michigan. But I
take your point that we need schedule uniformity. We need
to have something where we don't have to consult a
TV company about who should get into the playoffs and
(16:06):
some fake committee that they put together. So that's my
soapbox moment there. What didn't surprise me.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Kirk curve Street's dog.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Yeah, dude, I gotta be honest. I got you know,
I know that there's a lot of dog lovers out there,
and I grew up with dogs. I like animals. I
got my lizard here. But I just don't get it.
I just I don't understand how people don't haven't figured
out how what a gigantic hindrance that is to everybody
(16:38):
else that works there. And if it was so great
to bring your dog to work, and it was such
a wonderful thing, why doesn't everybody get to do it? Well? Why?
Because it's because it's a huge distraction. Look, I've always
had a huge problem with people bringing their dog to
football practice, right, Like, by the time we get done
(16:59):
playing pop corner football, we shouldn't have to deal with
anybody's dog on the practice field. It's not a park.
It's not a place for your dog to crap. Right.
If we're on a practice field practicing football, it's not
fun for the sideline girl to bring a dog and
everybody to pet the dog because they want to have
sex with the sideline Like, leave us alone everywhere. Man, Damn,
(17:24):
I got a problem with that because it's not It's
not for people to have to deal with your dog
in a place of business. It's just not. And why
can't the production manager bring the dog? Why can't the
stage manager bring a dog. Why can't Why can't Fowler
bring a dog?
Speaker 8 (17:42):
You know, Fowler could bring a dog. You know, Fowler
could bring a dog if you want.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
I don't think they can. Like, that's the thing. It's
I find I find it to be an insult to
everybody that does the job, everybody that's there.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
You know, I didn't even I didn't know that that
was the thing until you brought it up last year
and then I'm.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Watching the game. Was it Monday?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I forget which game it was he was doing, but
like he was like they were doing a shot inside
the booth and you could see him reaching down petting
the dog while he's talking.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Yeah, and it's very natural. Everybody loves it. It's great.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
It might be a service dog.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Yeah, I'm sure it's his emotional support animal, because I'm
sure like he's freaked out or he's tired of traveling,
or he's lost his mind or whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
There's a lot.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
There's a lot going on there. And that's fine. I mean,
but like what, there's two ways to look at this.
You could look at it like, Okay, Lebron James has
done whatever, he should be able to do whatever he
wants because he's the best and biggest athlete in the world,
one of the top five. You know, he should be
(18:46):
able to do whatever he wants. He should be able
to fire whatever coach he wants, he should be able
to hire his son and all of these things, because
that's what Lebron has earned through his lifetime of service.
He's also earned, you know, billions of dollars, but he's
also earned this for his lifetime of service to the NBA.
(19:07):
Or Kobe deserved that big contract that crippled the Lakers.
Speaker 8 (19:10):
At the end of his career because and could have
also hired his daughter to right.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
And because it's Kobe right. You could say that you know,
but you or you could also say, like you sit
there and preach how we're all pulling the same ores
and all doing this, but there's rules that only apply
to me. And Kirk kurb Street a great broadcaster, a
great guy in my experience. Yeah, I've always liked Kirk
(19:36):
kurb Street. There's nothing not to like. He does a
great Kurt or Kirk Kirk he's he's yeah, Kirk, Okay,
it sounds like Kurt. I'm sorry, I have a lisp.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Hey, Look, Brady does that every single time. So this
is the Jay.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
This goes back to the Jay grun as head coach
for Washington when it sounded like he was calling of Kurt,
but you couldn't pick up on the accent, so he
was saying Kirk. He doesn't finish the end of it.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
You don't know somebody like there's like people's name like
Brendan or Brennan or Brendan Brandon. And if you just
say it real fast, but you know, it's like you
can say, what does that sound like? Uh, you know,
like like Brandan Brennan. It's just like real quick, just
say it real fast.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I always thought that you would not do something like
that because I usually you pride yourself on like knowing
everyone's name.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
No, I do. But if you're in the heat of
the moment, you got to get the name out, you know,
you've got to get and or the play by play
guy says it wrong, and you've got to somehow say
it halfway right to not embarrass him right, but but
not say it wrong so you can get corrected on
Twitter as well. I'm not allowed to hear.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You use the strategy. Use the same strategy. That's good
to know the dog bothers me.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I'm very I'm bothered by the dog.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I honestly, I can't. I can't pick up the poop, Like,
what does it? I have so many questions.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
He excitably so well trained at this point, like he
can hold it until he gets to work.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
You think that dog is going to hold a craft
for three and a half hours.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Yeah, three and a half. He's probably there for nine
you know, like what time does he get there?
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Like, honestly, he's.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Built into the to the team, though they know when
to take him for a respite. Yeah, he probably knows
how to use the commote.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
To be honest, it's a travesty and I'm sure that everybody.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
I'm sure that me and you will be there together.
I'll bring mister Stix, You bring the name of your dog,
and we'll hang out together.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
A couple of Hall of famers get to do whatever
they want. Everybody else leave your dogs at home.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
There he is the great head is on fire man pee.
We got to run, but real quick, Petros. If people
want to hear you this week on what game you calling,
I'm available this weekend, I'm all.

want to do for the games. Petros where you want
to meet Yeah, I want to get paid. Me and
Jonas know and me, me and Lee will meet you.
Speaker 5 (21:55):

By the way, uh, I don't know if you guys
had seen this, but Diana Rassini has sent out a
(23:18):
tweet a short time ago, which by the way, it's X.
But is it called an X or can we still
call it a tweet? Whatever that is?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
But she pointed out that.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
That today is a big day for Jamar Chase and
the Bengals. Wednesday practice the first true practice of the
week where most of the game plan is installed, so
it would be difficult for him to play on Sunday
if he doesn't practice today. So that, according to Diana Rassini,
difficult to play on Sunday. So I don't know, is
that like.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
More of a report or kind of staying in the obvious,
Like if I stood out a tweet and was like
this old Jamar Chase situation is coming to a head
because today is the first week of practice for for
a week one.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I mean, I mean, wouldn't that wouldn't that just saying yeah,
stay in the obviously. That is a great point with
both you guys.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
Yeah, it's coming to a point, coming to a head
where they've got to make a decision.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I mean, you don't want this thing to blow up?
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Or Yeah, I saw you interview James Franklin.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Bro.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Did you have a good time with him?
Speaker 7 (24:31):
By the way, I interviewed him back in the summertime
for Big ten media days?
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Oh, it was wi So that was a while back. Yeah,
you were Usually I was like, dang, look at you.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
Why I had to wear a suit was because our
producer Bartia, I'll go air him out. Apparently last year
when I did it, no one told me like what
I was supposed to wear a how was gonna look?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I thought it was like a waste up shot. So
we were in uh where were we at?
Speaker 7 (24:57):
It was Dallas, which was so hot, dude, Like I
think it was like one hundred and ten, and the
hotel was probably five hundred yards from the stadium right
there in Arlington, and that's where the big troll decided
to have it. So I would just put on a
polo and shorts and walk on over because by the
time you got through your drenched in sweat and apparently
Bartie looking back and them, was like, you know, everyone
(25:20):
else is wearing a suit. We should probably have Brady
in a suit. And I was like, all right, great,
And so for this year, Big twelve was in Las
Vegas in the summertime, which also happens to be scalding hot. Yeah,
so that was why I had to wear a suit,
all because of our producer Bartia for basically saying that
I did not look dressed up enough for the interview,
(25:41):
because at times they showed like me sitting in shorts,
which obviously doesn't look great if the.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Guy crossed for you is sitting in a suit.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
So yeah, thanks, Frank had a sweatsuit on, right, No,
I think.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
He had a suit on.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
Yeah, yeah, I mean you look good though. I was
so busy looking at you and like look at you.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Yeah, well, you know, you know the real I shouldn't
even out this publicly.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
But you always got to go for the wider stance,
the power stance standing or sitting. You have to go
for the wider stance. So you're always looking for like,
who you know, who's you know? Did you have the
wider stance? If you did, you were you were speaking
from a position of power. Oh yeah, that's why the
all time greatest ever at the podium power stance I've
(26:32):
ever seen Marshawn Lynch.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
I believe it was when he was with the Raiders.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
There was a shot they showed of him talking to
the media as wide of a stance as you'll ever see.
Dominated that group, dominated that crew of people with the
power stance.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Dang, I mean I was thinking of when I was
watching it. That's the best James Franklin interview I've ever seen.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Good. I'm not I'm not playing. I'm not playing.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
What what make.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Sure you go?
Speaker 8 (27:03):
To disrupt YOUPSU dot com to see quite Franklin with
myself starring Coach Franklin every week weekly I do a
weekly sit down with them. But you're right, it was
in comparison to an interview that Brady did.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
I mean, I will say that. I mean I had
my gray.
Speaker 8 (27:22):

other part of me is like, yeah, but that division.

Speaker 8 (31:52):
Not that big of a loss. I mean it's not
that big. It's a big loss, but it's not that
big where they just fall all the way off like
they just fall over the well.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
You call her, Miss Carter geez my bad? All right?
Speaker 13 (33:39):
Well, hey, guys, if you're looking for maybe a sports
documentary out there, there's Untold The Hope Solo Versus US
Soccer on Netflix, as well as Brett Farv's new documentary
concussed shedding the light on Taylor Sash as well as
his own career and dealing with concussions.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
What another one out on him, The Brett Farb Documentary.
Speaker 13 (33:58):
Brett Farv has produced this new doc coumentary chronicling the
journey of a former late great player, Tyler Sash Out
of Iowa, oh as well as his own career and
dealing with his own concussion problems.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Yep, I mean, I don't really want to say about
Brett Favre. I don't want to get you know, I
don't want I don't want to piss him off.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
So he does get a steer clear of that one
out there. It is out, thank you.
Speaker 8 (34:25):
I almost forgot what what the whole purpose of all
of this was.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
You know what happens off.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
He just lets this kind of roam and go wherever
we want to go.
Speaker 8 (34:35):
Out on Sean Carter's white being on on, on the List,
out on on Hope, solo out on Brett farm out
out all right, all.
Speaker 13 (34:45):
Right, guys, Well, Direct TV CFO Ray Carpenter says service
won't blink before next week's Monday night football game, saying quote,
we're not.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
I've dropped you. I've dropped you Direct TV. I had
you for my streaming services. All right, I've dropped you
because of this whole thing. I don't know if it's you,
it's probably not. I understand the position that you're in.
But here's the problem. Disney paid a bunch of money
for the college football playoff, and so they got to
pass that cost along to the consumer, which obviously hits you.
(35:14):
It makes you look bad. I understand the economics of
this whole scenario.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
I'm out. I'm out, already dropped you. I moved on.
That's on you, pal.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
You know what bothers me about it is that I
didn't know anything of this until I went to go
turn on the game. And I think there was a
lot of people who felt the same thing, like, like,
at least give a heads up, like a week ahead
of time.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Heye, just see.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
You know, this is where we're at at you being
our customer. We want you to know they actually stand,
did they? I know a lot of people that were
not aware of that.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
They gave it about a week out because when I
actually was able to watch and use it for one
of the games where I thought I wasn't going to
be able to, so I was kind of surprised.
Speaker 7 (35:54):
But it wasn't until I believe Monday night was when
it hit. And that's what ticked me off, was like,
all right, this is I thought maybe you could figure
it out.
Speaker 5 (36:02):
They didn't figure it out.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Yea, So it sucks, guys.
Speaker 13 (36:06):
I want your advice. I'm debating where I go after work.
My air conditioning went out. It's gonna be one hundred
plus degrees today here in La I drink some waterlely,
so I either go I will drink the water. I
either go to my condo with no air conditioning, or
I go to my folks place with air conditionings, sleep
on the couch.
Speaker 8 (36:26):
I've even really listening to you at this point, so
I'm gonna just say I'm out because it's on the
safest in on.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Your parents, out on the condo, all right, I.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
Think about the Pokes place.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Man, I'm out for more than just.
Speaker 6 (36:39):
The A series.
Speaker 8 (36:40):
You're if you're over the age of twenty, let's just
say five, maybe six, and you're mentioning anything that has
to do with your parents' house and you, huh, I'm out,
all right, sucks for me other than visiting.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
You could hear on the blowtorch Am five to seven
LA Sports, a Fox College football analyst, and on X
at the old v.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Petros Good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Morning, Hello, Hello there he is.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I mean, congratulations. USC football is back.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Certainly looked like it didn't It.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Played some defenses.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Yeah, that's the first time in many many years, like
there's been some individual great performances. Sam Darnold was great,
no offense. LeVar we had, well he beat Penn State
in that rose all right. Marquise Lee was really really
individually spectacular. Caleb Williams was a great individual player. But
(02:03):
that's the best top to bottom team effort that I've
seen from USC as far as like a football team
goes since like the ed Ojeron Interim era. Because they tackled,
They tackled people in the open field. They weren't just
a sieve defensively, you couldn't just run all over them.
(02:24):
And then something else we talked about Lincoln Riley calling
plays on time, the ball getting out when it's supposed
to kind of helps the offense create an identity and
the team create an identity around that. And I was
really impressed. And USC was the more poised football team.
And I said this yesterday. If you had told me
(02:47):
Friday night last week that somebody is going to do
a fake shotgun blast in a guy's face after scoring
a touchdown and get a penalty, I would have told
you for sure that would be a USC guy. I
mean I would tell you nine times out of ten
that would be a USC guy. It wasn't. It was
an LSU guy. And they made Brian Kelly go full
(03:09):
Nikita Khrushchev and pound the table and take all kinds
of personal accountability. It was the top to bottom best
performance I've seen from a USC football team since Ed
was the head coach. And I have to give him
credit because well, you can't give them all the credit
because they didn't want to play the game, so they
(03:31):
spent most of the offseason trying to get out of
playing against LSU. But then you see what happens, Right,
If USC gets a big victory against a big time program,
it's a lot bigger and better than beating Utah State
by fifty. It gets everybody involved you move up in
the polls. Another great example as to why they need
(03:53):
to play Notre Dame every year and why Lincoln Riley
needs to worry about calling plays and creating a team
culture as opposed to scheduling or who USC is.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Going to play.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
You don't worry about that link and you play who's
on the schedule and see if you can beat him
before you leave for the NFL. But overall, I was very,
very impressed with the whole thing, and it gave me
the impression that USC is probably not going to be
as helpless as people think in the Big Ten.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
You know what I loved about that game?
Speaker 7 (04:21):
Petros I had the opportunity to sit down with Miller
Moss during the Big Ten media days, which a wonderful
young man, I mean really just said all the right things,
does the right things.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Phil's genuine. I mean, I had a good note because
he stayed right. I mean, here's the guy that actually
stay Yeah, I was gonna get to that.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
I was just gonna say, like, it was an example
really both for both quarterbacks like nuss Meyer who stayed
wait his opportunity, Miller Moss, who stayed waited for his opportunity,
and I thought both quarterbacks played outstanding, like absolutely outstanding,
and it should be a lesson to other quarterbacks out
there who are watching that, going like, you don't need
to go to some other school to eventually transfer to
another school to then like finally fit Like you're there,
(05:00):
You've arrived. I mean, not trying to compare to Dju,
but I mean, look out that's worked out so far
two games into this season. But I thought that was
almost like a telling sign of maybe this can slow
down some of the transfer portal stuff we see and
we allow kids to actually develop through a program like that,
and here's here's the reward.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Yeah, I mean it goes against everything that I guess
generally generationally these young people kind of expect, which is
immediate gratification, and you're not going to get that hanging
around and working and trying to figure it out. Now.
A guy like dj ujungle La, he's got to make
money now, right because he's not an NFL prospect like
(05:45):
he was when he was coming out of high school.
So if somebody's going to pay him six hundred and
fifty thousand dollars to play football in college, that's probably
going to be the biggest paycheck he's going to get.
And for those of us that watched him play year
in and year out, he's gotten left and less twitchy
and made less I thought State though he actually did
a lot for his draft stock.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
I think that was an opportunity that actually led me
to think, maybe this kid can play.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yeah, at the next level. I don't know. I mean
the underground rumblings when he was even when he started
the first week he started at Oregon State, was that
the backup was better than him and Aiden Chiles, the
kid who's now starting at Michigan State, but it takes
the over yeah, and he's getting his experience now with
Jonathan Smith. So I thought he did a lot better
(06:32):
at Oregon State, And in fact, that was one of
my impressions watching the Florida State game on Monday night,
which was Wow, Jonathan Smith really got all he could
out of this guy. And at the same time, the
rumblings were, man, we got to play the other guy.
Maybe the other guy's going to take us where we
need to go. DJ's probably not that guy, and he
(06:54):
ended up transferring. Obviously their circumstances changed dramatically, But you're right,
I mean, hang in there, But that's college football that
we grew up with too, right, Like we saw a
ton of guys who were a certain way when they
came in, and then they were a whole different player,
totally differently developed three or four years later. Like that's
(07:17):
kind of what we're used to because it was a
lot more difficult to transfer, a lot more difficult to
hang up your shoes and say I'm not doing this
or screw you guys, I'm going home. That's not really
part of what we grew up with in football. So
when we see somebody do something like Miller Moss that
we are kind of used to seeing, I mean, those
are the stories that we're kind of used to celebrating
(07:39):
on our sport twenty years ago. When we see it now,
it's even more and more impressive with the nuss Meyer
guy and Miller Moss. I don't know if it's going
to make much of a difference. I think the money
involved and the people involved, and how easy it is
to say I don't like this place anymore because the
strength coach pissed me off is still going to be
(07:59):
pretty prevalent. But we need to close one of those
transfer portals. At least one.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
I heard you say something pretty interesting in that initial
talk about USC winning is that maybe they're not as
you know, as weak as or may may not have
the results that people may think that they have in
the Big Ten. After that game, are you bullish on them,
like how well.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Do you think they can do in a Big ten?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
I mean, just asking for a friend, Petro.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I'm not exactly sure how. I just thought it was
a completely different mentality that I saw. And yes, one
game is one game, and in football, especially if you're
inside a team watching the tape of the week, one
is almost unrecognizable when you get into October and start
(08:53):
to develop your identity a little bit more. But I
guess what stood out to me to make me think, wow,
this is a whole different vibe was the coaching hires
that they made. I know that they went out and
hired real defensive coaches. Now, how quickly can you fix
a personnel group, a linebacker group, a defensive line group,
(09:15):
a secondary I've seen an offensive line group fixed over
one off season, and it blew my mind because it
was all the same guys, but they changed coaches, and
it blew my mind. To see that happen. That was
many years ago, and this was kind of equally mind
blowing to see guys making tackles in the open field
for USC, or stopping people right at the marker and
(09:41):
playing disciplined on defense and making adjustments in the second
half to where there wasn't as much room for the
wide receivers and the cushion that was there early was
no longer there. All that stuff kind of made me
feel like, Wow, Lincoln Riley did something. They forced him
to fire. All these air Raid big twelve soft guys,
Dan and Lynn, matt Enttz, Doug Belk, these coaches have
(10:04):
come in and changed USC's mentality in that way. I
feel a lot better about how they're going to be
up against because LSU is big, strong and fast. Say
what you will about Brian Kelly, they only won nine
games or ten games, and he hasn't gotten them over
the absolute hump yet, but they're big, strong and fast,
(10:26):
and USC was able to stand up to that in
a way that they haven't been in the past under
this coach and under Clay Helton. So overall, I guess
it was heartening to feel like, wow, you really can
fix something. Hiring a different staff and paying attention to
detail for one offseason. So they'll beat up Utah stait
(10:48):
and then they'll take a week off. We'll get an
idea what Michigan is when they go out to the
Big House and play cheron More.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Petrospabadek is joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. Get
him on X the old p So what else jumped
out to you week one in college football? Was there
a performance you saw that neither surprised you outside of
USC or one that you saw, Petros that you looked
at and said, well, what the hell was that?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Well, UCLA only beating Hawaii by three was a bit
of a trip.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Yeah, but you know, you know, Jonas won't like you
saying that.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Well, yeah, but the Hawaii battled. You know, you know, they.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Could have won. They came out and they came out
and stopped them and scored right away, and I was like, damn.
And then I started working Arizona State.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Petros Jonas said, you know, Rainbow Warriors winning may become
a new trend. You know, if they had won that.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Gees, it's a great program that nearly they tried to
get rid of.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
They're one and one Yeah, they filled up the ching.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
How about it, eight thousand people.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
It's always interesting to see, like you never really know
what you got any college football team, but in the
modern era of the answer portal and all that, you
really don't know what you have. And sometimes you look
at teams on paper like I had Wyoming Arizona State.
(12:11):
Wyoming won nine games last year, beat Texas Tech, played
Texas tough in Texas in the fourth quarter, I think
the game was tied, and they went to Arizona State
with a lot of the same personnel, a new coach,
but you know, from the same staff of Craig Bowle,
and got absolutely blown away by Arizona State. I mean
(12:34):
an Arizona State team. They got shut out almost or
did get shut out by Fresno State last year in
a game I did, and I was just absolutely dumbfounded
with how well they played. Their transfer guys played a
couple of guys they got from New Mexico State. Their
quarterback was really poised within the offense like that kind
(12:56):
of thing's really interesting, Like, Okay, this guy's from New
Mexico State, this guy's from Sacramento State, this guy's from
Austin p And yet they're they're playing together great. Last
year they had a bunch of different transfers and it
didn't come together like that. So it's always really interesting
to see what happens when you put the product on
(13:17):
the plate and sitting in front of a customer and
the game actually unfolds. So it was a fun first week.
It's always great to watch, maybe a little bit too
many lopsided victories, the feasting on the cupcakes, because the
games that you're really interested in, the ones we're really
talking about, is where people actually played each other, right,
Florida State, Boston College, SCLSU and so on and so forth.
(13:41):
And with a twelve team college football playoff, I don't
see why we can't have meaningful games week in and
week out during the regular season and play and play
and schedule bravely during the non conference. Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
If you should know the name, I mean, my god,
I mean theoretically, you know you're gonna get some three
lost teams that make it in a twelve team playoff.
I wish they went to sixteen for that reason. Petros,
because because I think one, I'm not sure teams need buys,
you know, I don't want to upset anyone by saying that,
I know it can be an extra long season then
for especially teams that plan a conference and all that.
(14:18):
But I guess the general point is it just it
feels like, do we need to let some teams take
off on a buy and then you know, let that
whole process sort itself out. I'd love to be a
little more inclusive. I just want to generally ask you
what were some what was like one thing that surprised
you about Week one college football? And then one of
the things that you kind of thought going into the
(14:39):
season that was kind of confirmed with what you saw.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
It's a little early to dig in my mind like that.
USC surprised me, no doubt. I was very pleasantly surprised
by just top to bottom USC's performance and the poise
and the way that whole thing was handled.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
I was impressed.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
So USC surprised me. Was surprised by Arizona State since
that was the game I called bye weeks. I mean,
the point you make, Brady, I think goes to a
bigger point where it was twelveteen playoffs, sixteen team playoff,
thirty team playoff like the NCAA tournament. I don't care
but we need schedule uniformity because if we're going to
(15:21):
have a big playoff where everybody's earning their way in,
we have to have schedule uniformity because we have to
get rid of the committee because there's nothing worse, nothing
more counterproductive in all of society than a goddamn committee
and that's got to go. So's that's where we have
to get to. Whether that means you don't get a
buye or this person gets a buy I don't know Hawaii,
(15:43):
you know UCLA needs a buy after going all the
way out there in Hawaiian beating them by three points,
and us he's gonna need a buye after beating up
on Utah State before they go to Michigan. But I
take your point that we need schedule uniformity. We need
to have something where we don't have to consult a
TV company about who should get into the playoffs and
(16:06):
some fake committee that they put together. So that's my
soapbox moment there. What didn't surprise me.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Kirk curve Street's dog.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Yeah, dude, I gotta be honest. I got you know,
I know that there's a lot of dog lovers out there,
and I grew up with dogs. I like animals. I
got my lizard here. But I just don't get it.
I just I don't understand how people don't haven't figured
out how what a gigantic hindrance that is to everybody
(16:38):
else that works there. And if it was so great
to bring your dog to work, and it was such
a wonderful thing, why doesn't everybody get to do it? Well? Why?
Because it's because it's a huge distraction. Look, I've always
had a huge problem with people bringing their dog to
football practice, right, Like, by the time we get done
(16:59):
playing pop corner football, we shouldn't have to deal with
anybody's dog on the practice field. It's not a park.
It's not a place for your dog to crap. Right.
If we're on a practice field practicing football, it's not
fun for the sideline girl to bring a dog and
everybody to pet the dog because they want to have
sex with the sideline Like, leave us alone everywhere. Man, Damn,
(17:24):
I got a problem with that because it's not It's
not for people to have to deal with your dog
in a place of business. It's just not. And why
can't the production manager bring the dog? Why can't the
stage manager bring a dog. Why can't Why can't Fowler
bring a dog?
Speaker 8 (17:42):
You know, Fowler could bring a dog. You know, Fowler
could bring a dog if you want.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
I don't think they can. Like, that's the thing. It's
I find I find it to be an insult to
everybody that does the job, everybody that's there.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
You know, I didn't even I didn't know that that
was the thing until you brought it up last year
and then I'm.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Watching the game. Was it Monday?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I forget which game it was he was doing, but
like he was like they were doing a shot inside
the booth and you could see him reaching down petting
the dog while he's talking.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Yeah, and it's very natural. Everybody loves it. It's great.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
It might be a service dog.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Yeah, I'm sure it's his emotional support animal, because I'm
sure like he's freaked out or he's tired of traveling,
or he's lost his mind or whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
There's a lot.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
There's a lot going on there. And that's fine. I mean,
but like what, there's two ways to look at this.
You could look at it like, Okay, Lebron James has
done whatever, he should be able to do whatever he
wants because he's the best and biggest athlete in the world,
one of the top five. You know, he should be
(18:46):
able to do whatever he wants. He should be able
to fire whatever coach he wants, he should be able
to hire his son and all of these things, because
that's what Lebron has earned through his lifetime of service.
He's also earned, you know, billions of dollars, but he's
also earned this for his lifetime of service to the NBA.
(19:07):
Or Kobe deserved that big contract that crippled the Lakers.
Speaker 8 (19:10):
At the end of his career because and could have
also hired his daughter to right.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
And because it's Kobe right. You could say that you know,
but you or you could also say, like you sit
there and preach how we're all pulling the same ores
and all doing this, but there's rules that only apply
to me. And Kirk kurb Street a great broadcaster, a
great guy in my experience. Yeah, I've always liked Kirk
(19:36):
kurb Street. There's nothing not to like. He does a
great Kurt or Kirk Kirk he's he's yeah, Kirk, Okay,
it sounds like Kurt. I'm sorry, I have a lisp.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Hey, Look, Brady does that every single time. So this
is the Jay.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
This goes back to the Jay grun as head coach
for Washington when it sounded like he was calling of Kurt,
but you couldn't pick up on the accent, so he
was saying Kirk. He doesn't finish the end of it.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
You don't know somebody like there's like people's name like
Brendan or Brennan or Brendan Brandon. And if you just
say it real fast, but you know, it's like you
can say, what does that sound like? Uh, you know,
like like Brandan Brennan. It's just like real quick, just
say it real fast.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I always thought that you would not do something like
that because I usually you pride yourself on like knowing
everyone's name.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
No, I do. But if you're in the heat of
the moment, you got to get the name out, you know,
you've got to get and or the play by play
guy says it wrong, and you've got to somehow say
it halfway right to not embarrass him right, but but
not say it wrong so you can get corrected on
Twitter as well. I'm not allowed to hear.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You use the strategy. Use the same strategy. That's good
to know the dog bothers me.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I'm very I'm bothered by the dog.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I honestly, I can't. I can't pick up the poop, Like,
what does it? I have so many questions.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
He excitably so well trained at this point, like he
can hold it until he gets to work.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
You think that dog is going to hold a craft
for three and a half hours.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Yeah, three and a half. He's probably there for nine
you know, like what time does he get there?
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Like, honestly, he's.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Built into the to the team, though they know when
to take him for a respite. Yeah, he probably knows
how to use the commote.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
To be honest, it's a travesty and I'm sure that everybody.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
I'm sure that me and you will be there together.
I'll bring mister Stix, You bring the name of your dog,
and we'll hang out together.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
A couple of Hall of famers get to do whatever
they want. Everybody else leave your dogs at home.
Speaker 3 (21:32):

By the way, uh, I don't know if you guys
had seen this, but Diana Rassini has sent out a
(23:18):
tweet a short time ago, which by the way, it's X.
But is it called an X or can we still
call it a tweet? Whatever that is?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
But she pointed out that.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
That today is a big day for Jamar Chase and
the Bengals. Wednesday practice the first true practice of the
week where most of the game plan is installed, so
it would be difficult for him to play on Sunday
if he doesn't practice today. So that, according to Diana Rassini,
difficult to play on Sunday. So I don't know, is
that like.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
More of a report or kind of staying in the obvious,
Like if I stood out a tweet and was like
this old Jamar Chase situation is coming to a head
because today is the first week of practice for for
a week one.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I mean, I mean, wouldn't that wouldn't that just saying yeah,
stay in the obviously. That is a great point with
both you guys.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
Yeah, it's coming to a point, coming to a head
where they've got to make a decision.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I mean, you don't want this thing to blow up?
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Or Yeah, I saw you interview James Franklin.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Bro.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Did you have a good time with him?
Speaker 7 (24:31):
By the way, I interviewed him back in the summertime
for Big ten media days?
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Oh, it was wi So that was a while back. Yeah,
you were Usually I was like, dang, look at you.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
Why I had to wear a suit was because our
producer Bartia, I'll go air him out. Apparently last year
when I did it, no one told me like what
I was supposed to wear a how was gonna look?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I thought it was like a waste up shot. So
we were in uh where were we at?
Speaker 7 (24:57):
It was Dallas, which was so hot, dude, Like I
think it was like one hundred and ten, and the
hotel was probably five hundred yards from the stadium right
there in Arlington, and that's where the big troll decided
to have it. So I would just put on a
polo and shorts and walk on over because by the
time you got through your drenched in sweat and apparently
Bartie looking back and them, was like, you know, everyone
(25:20):
else is wearing a suit. We should probably have Brady
in a suit. And I was like, all right, great,
And so for this year, Big twelve was in Las
Vegas in the summertime, which also happens to be scalding hot. Yeah,
so that was why I had to wear a suit,
all because of our producer Bartia for basically saying that
I did not look dressed up enough for the interview,
(25:41):
because at times they showed like me sitting in shorts,
which obviously doesn't look great if the.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Guy crossed for you is sitting in a suit.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
So yeah, thanks, Frank had a sweatsuit on, right, No,
I think.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
He had a suit on.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
Yeah, yeah, I mean you look good though. I was
so busy looking at you and like look at you.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Yeah, well, you know, you know the real I shouldn't
even out this publicly.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
But you always got to go for the wider stance,
the power stance standing or sitting. You have to go
for the wider stance. So you're always looking for like,
who you know, who's you know? Did you have the
wider stance? If you did, you were you were speaking
from a position of power. Oh yeah, that's why the
all time greatest ever at the podium power stance I've
(26:32):
ever seen Marshawn Lynch.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
I believe it was when he was with the Raiders.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
There was a shot they showed of him talking to
the media as wide of a stance as you'll ever see.
Dominated that group, dominated that crew of people with the
power stance.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Dang, I mean I was thinking of when I was
watching it. That's the best James Franklin interview I've ever seen.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Good. I'm not I'm not playing. I'm not playing.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
What what make.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Sure you go?
Speaker 8 (27:03):
To disrupt YOUPSU dot com to see quite Franklin with
myself starring Coach Franklin every week weekly I do a
weekly sit down with them. But you're right, it was
in comparison to an interview that Brady did.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
I mean, I will say that. I mean I had
my gray.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
Beard on full displayed, my dreads, was hanging out with
my hat, my hat on, you know what I mean,

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Yep, I mean, I don't really want to say about
Brett Favre. I don't want to get you know, I
don't want I don't want to piss him off.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
So he does get a steer clear of that one
out there. It is out, thank you.
Speaker 8 (34:25):
I almost forgot what what the whole purpose of all
of this was.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
You know what happens off.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
He just lets this kind of roam and go wherever
we want to go.
Speaker 8 (34:35):
Out on Sean Carter's white being on on, on the List,
out on on Hope, solo out on Brett farm out
out all right, all.
Speaker 13 (34:45):
Right, guys, Well, Direct TV CFO Ray Carpenter says service
won't blink before next week's Monday night football game, saying quote,
we're not.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
I've dropped you. I've dropped you Direct TV. I had
you for my streaming services. All right, I've dropped you
because of this whole thing. I don't know if it's you,
it's probably not. I understand the position that you're in.
But here's the problem. Disney paid a bunch of money
for the college football playoff, and so they got to
pass that cost along to the consumer, which obviously hits you.
(35:14):
It makes you look bad. I understand the economics of
this whole scenario.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
I'm out. I'm out, already dropped you. I moved on.
That's on you, pal.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
You know what bothers me about it is that I
didn't know anything of this until I went to go
turn on the game. And I think there was a
lot of people who felt the same thing, like, like,
at least give a heads up, like a week ahead
of time.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Heye, just see.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
You know, this is where we're at at you being
our customer. We want you to know they actually stand,
did they? I know a lot of people that were
not aware of that.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
They gave it about a week out because when I
actually was able to watch and use it for one
of the games where I thought I wasn't going to
be able to, so I was kind of surprised.
Speaker 7 (35:54):
But it wasn't until I believe Monday night was when
it hit. And that's what ticked me off, was like,
all right, this is I thought maybe you could figure
it out.
Speaker 5 (36:02):
They didn't figure it out.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Yea, So it sucks, guys.
Speaker 13 (36:06):
I want your advice. I'm debating where I go after work.
My air conditioning went out. It's gonna be one hundred
plus degrees today here in La I drink some waterlely,
so I either go I will drink the water. I
either go to my condo with no air conditioning, or
I go to my folks place with air conditionings, sleep
on the couch.
Speaker 8 (36:26):
I've even really listening to you at this point, so
I'm gonna just say I'm out because it's on the
safest in on.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Your parents, out on the condo, all right, I.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
Think about the Pokes place.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Man, I'm out for more than just.
Speaker 6 (36:39):
The A series.
Speaker 8 (36:40):
You're if you're over the age of twenty, let's just
say five, maybe six, and you're mentioning anything that has
to do with your parents' house and you, huh, I'm out,
all right, sucks for me other than visiting.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Oh gosh,
