Two Pros and a cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio.
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming
up on this Wednesday edition. Of course, we've got the usuals,
Petros pop but Acas will stop by. We've got our
midweek awards, the leftovers, and in case you missed it,
we're also going to have a conversation about the shade
and the hate being thrown at Notre Dame following their
disappointing conclusion that they will not be a part of
(00:22):
the college football Playoff. We're going to get the very
latest on the Indianapolis Colts and their conclusion that Philip Rivers,
at forty four years old, is the guy for the
job and what that could mean for an award that's
going to be handed out at the end of the
NFL season. Penn State's got their guy, what does it
mean moving forward? And we've got the usual fun stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'll tell you this much.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
No one and I mean no one all right, takes
the stage like one LeVar airing tee.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I'm just saying this has been back to back years.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Every time I look forward to this part at the
National Football Foundation event, they would introduce obviously the Hall
of Fame inductees for that year, but then the past inductees.
And every time Var comes out, man, he's he's just smiling.
He's got something more stylish on than everyone else. It's
it's always it's always fun.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
To see I did look pretty nice last night. You did. Man,
You're good, You're good. He's out there.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
He's got more more style, more flair than everyone else
comes out.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Some people come out there's like, hey, I'm here. Yeah,
they just walk out. There's like they came straight from
the Senior Citizens home. Man, some of us are old. Hey,
Barry Switzer is still moving. Well, he's still moving. Well,
he's moving for you know what we were just talking.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
About, though, Jonas is, uh, you know, Mike vick Gott
inducted last night, and so when I was walking in,
I kind of walked in with him and I just
looked at him. I said, dude, you should have got
in like the day you left college, Like I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Know what took so long. Twenty twenty five. Yeah, we
know you have a comeback for that.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Well, no, have they listened.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Listen? No? No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
No, no, no, come on, was Boss Hog a part of.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Alright, p boss Damn.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It was a tough one. No.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So my thought is, have we figured out what the
criteria is for the College Football Hall of Fame and
how to get in? Because I would also say, why
the hell isn't Brady Quinn in the holly?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Whoa whoa first? First?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
I first, first off? Far Terry Hanrady just got in
from Notre Day. Yeah, dude, I mean all back in
the sixth from Butler County, Like that's baby.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Like.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Look, I'll say this, I appreciate that it'd be an
honor one day to get in. There are so many
deserving dudes when you look up there like so many
guys who have to wait a long time to get
in for that.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
That's fair. So but you still should be in the mix. Ie.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
But like I said, he was, there is some because
the shots of Gus was a trip.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
They brought up the MIAK Offensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Yeah it's a white dude, and what.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Dude?
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Chuck Season was sitting right behind the start laughing as.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
He's the best.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
And I look over across and Chuck and I said it, Gus,
I was like, yeah, man, I was like the white
boy's back.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
We got a little dang. Yeah, hell yeah, Gus, Gus
the trip man. Yeah, it was a good night though.
It was a good night.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
So yeah, was was Gus vaping? Or did he? Did
he leave it back in the room?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Why are you? Why do you put out there? Why
are you doing that?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I can't I'm just asking the question. You know, we
got at the three answer.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You know the answer Gus is the man. I love Gus.
They definitely no the answer.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well, look it sounds like it.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Was what you did last night, Jonas nothing you had
boots on the ground somewhere.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, Innxico.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Did you beat up your palms again? Tall laugh at
what Andy Reid called it to the Offensiveliven put them
D beaters in them? When you go to block and
put them D beaters in them? About them D beaters?
(05:44):
Jonahs them? What them the beaters? Yeah? I can't say
it on there. I can't say it on there.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Probably cleaner and so it was.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It was.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
It was along the same lines of what what we
led in with. I was adding on to it.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, uh well, speaking of college football beater no, definitely,
definitely not it sounds like he's got enough of that
going on there.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
But hey, man, come on, bro relaxed, he relax touch.
I saw Wilson last night. Man, weren't we just talking about?
I feel like we were just talking about yesterday? Man, Yeah,
I was talking about. I saw him good. I was
excited to see him. Man, he looks good. Guys are
staying and walked in with Brian A rackpo Rae. Man,
(06:32):
he's a big and he was like, dude, was like,
you still playing big? Dude? I wasn't. I wasn't quite sure.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I grabbed Eddie George from behind and I was like,
why does he still feel like this?
Speaker 7 (06:45):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Eddie can still looks like he's still playing bro? He
felt like a brick.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I forgot how I forgot how big he was until
he came out on bigger than me. When you guys
had him on big noon for the Ohio State Michigan game.
I was like, I think it was the Ohio State
Michigan game. He was massive and I forgot was Oh
that guy played running back like that guy played bro.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
He's massively yoked up.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, he's like yoked So good for them because some
of us don't maintain those those levels of standard of
the way they're looking.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Don't venture there, don't do it far. I felt so
freaking fat and out of shape and ugly. You looked
good last night, man. Yeah, he walks out of this thing.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
They kind of put him in front of the banner
or that little I don't know background, and he just pops,
you know, Laura smiles.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I'm here, I'm here. It's you know, it's it's an act.
I'm able to put it on.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I put the face on, but behind that face, that smile,
there's a total total cringe.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Man.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Just I couldn't believe it. That's a huge bitch.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah, man, one day, I'm gonna figure it out one day.
Like I interviewed, you know dude that looks like a model.
Now it looks like a model. He was like a
center and I was like, who the hell's that guy
up there? And then they're like they should him. I
was like, damn, what are you like?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I called him a different dude and the dude that
I called him looks like the lineman now and it's crazy, Like,
I don't know, man, I just I see certain examples
of how good people can do things and make themselves
look and feel good and I'm just not on that
list of people.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But what's the uh would you if you had to
guess how many people are there in attendance.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
For Oh my gosh, it's a few people. Yeah, there's
a few people. And so it's pretty decent production.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
We think about this, how many is there one hundred
tables or I don't know, it's more than one hundred,
it's a hundred.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
And so what's the like, is there like a cocktail
hour and then a post?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah? Yeah, and so the cart starts that four point thirty.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
They push everyone kind of into this big, gigantic ballroom
at the Blagio.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Then you're in there just amongst like a lot of
I mean, one.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Of the things I'll say it was it was Charles
Davis MC the event so good but he's good. Blake Elliott,
he's a wide receiver from Saint John's, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
They had the loudiest and the rowdiest four tables. They
say it looked like more than that, but they had
the tables up there in the back and they knew
to put them all the way and they were rowdy.
Shots out to you guys from Saint John's but y'all
don't know how to act. Man, I don't know how
(09:37):
to act.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Man.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
They came up and they yeah, they might act, came
up and now I don't think they were boozed up.
They were just excited. I'm I'm making making fun of it.
But I mean, hey, man, that was a lot of support.
He was very humble too. He got when they called
him and they went crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You know, you could tell it was like it meant
a lot to him that all those people came and
supported him. So it's pretty cool, man, pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
MEDICID named Connor yesterday, uh, from Saint Jude obviously part
of yeah, part of like the Shriners, you know deal.
I was at the Shriners table and they had a
great time with him and his mom and you know
the rest of the people from you know, from the Shriners.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
So it was good.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
It was a good night, man, It was a good night. No,
I don't do tie. I'm with you, man, I do TI.
I'm not gonna lie I had on my model. I
don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
What where's the tie from truth truth? What type of tie?
I don't know. You're not going to say it's from
Ross or or I don't do that anyway? Can I
be honest?
Speaker 5 (10:47):
I think I actually have it from like our Fox
Sports wardrobe, Like I wore it as part of a suit.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
That they gave me, and I.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Took the time because I like that. Yeah, yeah, I'm
sure I have no idea. I actually never even looked
to see where it's from.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Well, I'm sure it's an important tie, and I'm sure
they're okay with you having it, you.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Like, the only important tie that I know is Tyrone. Yeah,
that's an important tie. But which one? Both of them
or just Tyrone?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Tyrone? Yeah, you're Tyrone important?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah he is. He's a white guy named Tyrone. How
could he not be?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Mit Johnson is important to me. You know you have Tyrone.
I'm gonna just take Johnson. He's important to me. No
one's doubting that he's very important. No one's question important
to me.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And Mike Johnson are very very close with one another.
We had daily conversations. You know, he winks at me. Yeah, yeah,
I smile at him.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
That her up, baby, Patty swihuh. Patty never cracks the
mic on the first segment, you know, where are you
at Patty.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Come on, Patty, pat I'm ready here.
Speaker 2 (12:14):

you feeling, man, I'm.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Feeling pretty good right know. How you guys feeling in Vegas?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I mean tired?
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Honestly, Yeah, there was It's just I mean, LeVar knows
he's got to entertain and talk to people and stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I I'd probably do that longer than I should.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
But man, all I know though, is I was introduced
to every time I'm out here, like it's a little
deeper dive in the world of gambling. Dude, Calci. Like
I was trying to tell you about when we were
talking about, you know what, there was football playoffs, whatever
else you bet on.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It is involved the futures. Betty market is wild. It's wild. Wild.
Pauly Market would be coming out soon to like all
that stuff wild.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Yeah, anybody, it'll overtake, it will overtake like the sports
gambling world.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Oh wow, he's telling you right now.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
It's the next level, next level for sure. I've seen
and the affiliations are starting, the relationships are starting to build,
like it's just it's it's a slow takeover and then
eventually it's just going to be here for good, which
is uh, you know, which would have helped out potentially.
Last night I got the bad beat. Oh ye, ask
(13:31):
me what I did last night. I watched the effing
Penguins leading by a goal. Okay, so I had I
had ten dollars to win two ten on a live
bet on the Penguins. Okay, ten dollars to win twenty
one dollars, so plus two ten. The Penguins gave up
(13:52):
the tying goal and regulation with a tenth of a
second left, literally a tenth of a second left, and
then lost in shootouts. Got kicked right in the nuts
in front of my son, and he looked at me
and he was a shamed Papa.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Why are your nuts so sore? Poa?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
He was ashamed. And I looked at him and I said, hey, buddy,
that's coming out of your stocking, not mine. So so
you got to deal with that.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Talked to my job. Did job uh go play catch yesterday? John?
Get caught up on that man.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, he wanted to do basketball yesterday. So we did
basketball and then at night do basketball.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He can't reach the hoop.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Well, we got like a like a Fisher price, like
a little nerve.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You got a nerf hoop?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, like a little like a little like tikes hoop
in the backyards. We did that and then uh, then
we do floor hockey where you have like this little
indoor hockey net and uh, you just play on the
on the carpet upstairs. Pretty fun. Yeah, that's all that's
all I got.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Man.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You guys are hanging around Hall of Famers. I'm hanging
around him.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So it seems like you live in a world of
arrested development. Bro, Do you watch that show? I've seen
it like once or twice. Man, that's what most underrated
shows of all time. Watch that show? No, because I
don't have to bet that it's one of the greatest
shows ever. If you watch it. I start to finish
(15:13):
seeing it. Man, the way they weave in different season,
Oh my gosh, can I watch that show? I don't
have to take it out.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Wasn't arrested development of band?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Then too, and they sing it was a Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Tennessee, Yeah, Tennessee Tennessee. Philip Fomer was there last night.
Big John Henderson got in to the Hall of Fame.
That was nice seeing him. It's a big man, bro.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You know the one that is like, come on, smack me,
smack me to the plug. How big is that? He's big.
He's huge, sixty seven, he's huge, three hundred pounds. He's
a big dude. Man.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I asked him about that too. I asked him about
the slap He's said because he was nervous. He said,
he was trying to get.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That first hit. And you know, the guys that play ball,
they know about like the first hit. There's a lot
of guys that are first hit guys. Like I was
the first hit guy, like, I'd be ready to throw up.
I'd be scared, nervous, like all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But once I got the first hit out of the way,
I was like, all right, there's a game, Like let's
go ahead and get it in. And so he's like, yay.
He'd be so nervous that he was like, I just
tried to get the first hit out of the way,
because once I got the first hit out of the way,
I'd be all right. I was like, did it work?
He was like I guess, so, yeah, You're just like
getting slapped in the face by that dude.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
Man.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
We started laughing, But that was that was The story
behind it is that he was in his nerves were bad,
so I tried to get the first hit out of
the way before he went out on it.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
That's a real thing, you know. It is a real
boxes go through that too, right, you got to get
that first hit, man.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I feel like that with quarterbacks a little bit because
you don't get hit often, so like to settle you
down a little bit, just getting it over with, you
know what I'm saying. So like I always feel like
young quarterbacks, it's good to have him like kind of
get outside the pocket, run a little bit.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Maybe you get head, maybe you don't. Put just gets
hear the flow a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
You have so many experiences, like especially as like as
you get older in the game and you start playing
it a little bit more because you've had so many
different things happen, right, Like you'll get into a game,
you hit a couple of guys and it's like, oh,
it's not a physical game. This isn't a physical outfit.
Then you'll get into a game and you you'll hit
a guy and it's like and it's going to be
(17:28):
a physical game. Yeah, And you don't know, you don't
know what it's going to be until and sometimes even
with the same guy, like sometimes it's like it's not
the same, Like, oh, you played harder or you were
hitting harder, you know a season ago, You're not even
hitting as hard this year.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Like all right, we're good.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
I would say college like Michigan. Yeah, like you always knew,
like the next week you were just.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You were gonna be banged up. Physical game.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
It was always physical, I'd say, Like, there's a few
two like Penn State. I played them once while I
was there, but a more physical game. Uh, usually like Michigan,
Michigan State, Pens State, like one of those big tennis schools, NFL.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Wisconsin, Army Navy.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
They were up in the house too, man, And that
was pretty cool, man, seeing all of them like in
their uniforms and stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Like the guys in the trenches who were just getting
their knees cut out, like all game against Army Navy.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Which it was I always remember.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Well, that's why I don't even want to get on
this topic because so many people are tired of talking
about it because everyone's just ripping apart in their name
is scheduling now, like they just they could schedule the
Kansas City Chiefs, and it wouldn't be it wouldn't be good.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
It wouldn't be good enough. No, not for some morons
out there.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
But it's what's funny about Navy is and you can
ask any team that's to prepare for, they're the worst
to prepare for. It's like gives he Yeah, it just
gives everyone anxiety. And then the lineer are gonna get
cut and you can't practice that and practice because you
don't want to get guys injured, and some coaches will
do it. Then you guys gets hurt and they're like,
all right, here we go. Like it's just it's miserable
(19:01):
offensive to go up against him because you only touch
the ball like six times a game. You know, usually
they're gonna get those fourth downs or even just the
rhythm of how you prepare to go back on the field.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Because they'll go for four downs and they'll get it.
You know. It's just it's a whole different like vibeing
way they go about playing.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
But I wouldn't again, as an offensive player, I would
not call it as physical. Maybe the defensive players would
say it is more so, especially when the hey dude,
mah Kyle Echel back in the day, and you got
to attack that fullback.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
That dude was unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
I just I remember guys like Flows l Adams like
that was ridiculous going up against him. I remember, uh,
big Aaron. You remember Aaron Gibson from Wisconsin. He's like
a mountain of a man. Like the Big Ten had
some of the biggest dudes. And you don't never cross
(19:54):
pass with pace, did you. Nah, he's a little before you.
I played against him in the league, but I didn't
play against Can you imagine him in college?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
No? I still said, this man what he finished in
the Heisman's tackle. Yeah, some people consider him literally like
top create a Yeah. I mean it's a period. It's
hard ause Archie obviously he's won the Heisman twice. Yeah,
but Archie b strolling too, don't. He's like the mayor.
He's the best. Archie Griffin is the mayor. It's wild too.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
You look at stats on things because like this year's Heisman,
like the quarterback stats compared the past years, it's not
quite as much. We talked about Love. Love has ridiculous
stats that he's sharing snaps. You go back, like one
of the years Archie you wanted and like Jonas, you
can keep me honest on this.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I think you had like.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Five rushing touchdowns, which is kind of wild to think.
It's like, how who was scoring all the points?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Then? Yeah, he was getting yours. Yeah, Art was. He's
a different that's a different one right there. Man. Do
you think we'll ever see a two time Heisman winner? Nope?
I thought Bryce Young. I thought Bryce Young was going
to be the guy to do it because.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
They won't allow it. Somebody, Well, you don't think so, No,
I just I think voters have an agenda.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Right, he probably.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I mean Lamar. I would also say Lamar the year
after he was better he won it. He was, it
was actually better, and then they didn't really give much consideration.
But it was mostly because like the team situations. Well yeah,
and he was phenomenal in this. In the next year,
arch is.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Second high ast man. He had four rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Four Okay, I was off crazy? Is that nuts? And
you're like, oh, how did you win it? Yeah? How
many yards did he have?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Just thirteen fifty seven, So Ye had a little over
thirteen hundred yards. He had six a little over sixteen
hundred yards of the year prior. But that's also like
how many games you play ten, eleven, eleven year?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
What year was that?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Seventy four and seventy five.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
So that's the other thing people forget too, like look
at how many games these kids play? You know, now
you go through so many, so you look at the stats,
you're like, well, yeah, they play about you know sometimes
two three, they went.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Eleven and one eight zero in the conference.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
You know, he played in a Rose Bowl every single
year he was there. Archie, Yes, Yeah, every single year
he was there. He played in the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
I think though, like obviously the different Bowl conference affiliations
like Ohio State played in it like three out of
four years, Like we played him in five, I swear
to god. They went to Arizona the next year in
the national championship game, and then like I think maybe
the year before.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I gotta I gotta go look back there. Maybe it's
two years prior they were there.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
There was a string of years where Ohio State was
playing in some sort of national championship in Arizona, Fiesta
Bowl in Arizona or like something in that in that
capacity for a string of years.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Wow, they dropped to four about the Sea by season
seasons and that was a Woody Hayes coach team. But yeah,
I mean yeah, the.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
MVP of the team was Cortnelias Green. So the guy
that won the Heisman wasn't even an MVP of the team.
Speaker 1 (23:12):

Who Knows Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox
Sports Radio LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here.
We are going to hear from a familiar familiar voice
here in just a couple of moments from now. But
right now, it is time for the tire rack play
of the day. Here's Descric Bade. He's been closing the
whole four got to the rack that tide Miami Heat
(26:46):
players bouncing all over the place and baiting finishes through
the contact.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
He's like a bullet ball coming down the alley at
something I was able to gather collected, banking.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
It off the glass. That call courtesy of the game
in Orlando. That's your tire rack play of the day.
For over forty years, Tyrack's been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship
Fast and freeback by free Road has a protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation ti iraq dot
com the way tire buying should be. So obviously, you
guys are around college football luminaries, all right, So some
(27:18):
of the best in college football to ever do it.
And you know, there's there's also some other stories going
on in college football which really like what well in
my opinion. Way more interesting than any of the first
round matchups is Notre Dame versus. Everybody has been really,
really entertaining. Pete Bavaqua, the Notre Dame Athletic director, spoke
(27:44):
yesterday about sort of how things kind of took a
turn when it came to dealing with the ACC and
Jim Phillips, the commissioner of the ACC. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
I think it was like a three three and a
half week campaign. So the first media post, and my
gut reaction was that somebody in their socialmedia department got
over their skis and did something that the ACC was
going to correct. And quite frankly, I was kind of
expecting a phone call saying, hey, sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
It won't happen again.
Speaker 10 (28:14):
But then it did happen again, and we started to
communicate with the ACC texts that I sent, emails that
I sent, and it continued to happen, and I had
a conversation at a phone call with Jimmy we could
go today, saying hey, listen, that's a conversation I want
to keep between me and Jimmy. But certainly got the
(28:37):
point across that this was raised eyebrows and you got
to know it's caused damage here between the university and
the ACC. It just kind of puzzled us that a
conference that's home to over six hundred of our student
athletes walking around this campus today, I guess chose to
go down that road.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Why would you.
Speaker 10 (28:54):
Attack an unbelievably important business partner of yours in football
and a member of your conference twenty four other sports.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
So that's a Notre Dame athletic director.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Have you talked to him.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I haven't talked to Pete. I haven't talked to our
athletic director. But I would generally just say this. You know,
college football is but ultimately drives the revenue, drives.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Ratings, and that's Notre Name's identity.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
So I personally look at it and say, I get
it from both sides of it, Like I understand that
there's a lot of other sports student athletes who are
maybe looking at it going, well, we're in the ACC,
like why why the campaigning like that? But I also
look at it and said, you're not for football. And
if Jim Phillips, who's the conference commissioner, is okay with
(29:49):
them pushing for a team like Miami pushing for their
Conference champion Duke, Like, I get it, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
I don't have a problem with it.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
Like I don't look at social media, and maybe that's
just the difference and age and experience and all that
as social media, like I don't look at it to
be this sort of professional platform.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
It's just not so.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
When when we really want to boil this down and say, well,
there was a campaign to me person, I'm like, all right,
like water under the bridge, you know. I think one
of the things that that I looked at it was like, okay,
this is more of what I would say is kind
of an issue is when you do something out of
the norm, like the ACC network continually playing the Notre
(30:29):
Dame Miami game for like two three days straight, whatever
it was. When you see stuff like that, you're like, okay,
that's a little different, Like that's someone who's actually taking
cable channel like airtime and they're playing.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
It over and over and over again, which is out
of the norm. They've never done that before.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
I think the intentions were to make sure they reminded
people that mind me beat Notre Dame.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
It's both political ads that you see.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Exactly Like that was where you kind of felt like, okay,
but us versus them thing, and that's kind of what
the idea is really trying on the drive home here, right.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Yeah, And I think the one thing that gets a
little bit like the way the water gets a little muddied,
is like, you have a partial affiliation. So even though
it's twenty four of the sports, you're also playing five
games a year that are against the ACC, and the
ACC schedules that like Notre Dame messona avity control over
which five of those are. There's a lot of people
don't understand how the scheduling comes about for Notre Dame.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
That's part of that. A lot of people, by the way,
are like, oh.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
The ACC saved Notre Dame during COVID, and there's some
truth to that as far as what that schedule was
going to look like for them because of how various
conferences handled COVID. I will remind people too though the
one year they are part of a conference, they swept
the regular season and they played the conference championship game
lost to Clemson. But still like, if people wanted to
(31:48):
join a conference, that's fine. I think Notre Dame is
going to compare favorably versus most they would have in
the playoff this year versus SEC opponents.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
But I think the greater thing that I would draw.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Or point to that ultimately led to the frustration for
Notre Dame fans not getting the playoff at least in
regards to the ACC was the way they went about
determining who played the conference championship game. That should be
the same for every powerful conference. The fact that we
don't have, I mean, and this is really the greater
issue in college football, the fact that not everyone plays
(32:22):
nine conference games, which they will starting next year.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
You get the SEC doing that, obviously, the Big Ten
does that, the Big Twelve, et cetera. You you're getting
a little bit closer to that.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
But then it's like, okay, well can we all agree
not the schedule FCS opponents like, if you look at
a lot of these old MISS resumes this year, or
excuse me, the SEC resumes this year old MISS in particular,
they've got an SEC opponent on it. If you really
break down, they played three teams with winning records, like
three or four teams something like that. It's like, all right, well,
how hard was that schedule that no one's talking about
that just because they have one loss.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
It wasn't that difficult to schedule.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
So there's a lot of inequities, unequal schedules that were
trying to compare to determine who should be playing off
for this thing. Well, that even extends to the conference
championship game. How do we get those two teams there?
If they had adopted the AAC tie breaking scenarios, which
is head to head, then the highest college football playoff ranking,
(33:15):
you know which two teams are, you would have got
Miami versus UVA. Miami would have won Miami's in jam
U's out bid her names in And that's probably how
it should have worked. Like, as much as we wanted
to make this a whole Notre Dame Miami thing and
everything else, Miami should have won the ACC. They're the
best team in the conference, and instead you have Duke
(33:36):
playing off fors Uva as a five lost conference champ
because of their odd tie breaking it was what record
versus common opponents or winning percentagers common opponents, some odd
way in which they went to a third tiebreaker. But
that's not an automatic qualifier, right, Well, no, no, it
would be. It would be an olive would be an
(33:58):
automatic qualifier. It doesn't mean you get a so so
two years ago it meant you would have you the
top four highest conference champion bicks, we get buys.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Now they just said it's automat qualifiers. So so Duke,
it's in. They're not in the playoff. No, that's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
So, uh because they but no, no, no, because they
weren't one of the five highest rank conference champions.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
They're a five lost team. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
But I think what I think some people have been
getting turned around and mixed up on what automatic qualifying represents, Like,
doesn't mean that if you win your conference in a
power in one of the power in any of the
Power four conferences, that's your automatic quality.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
That's not it.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Well again, it's it's that's not it because of the
way these different conferences construct their tie breaking scenarios. Yeah,
it should all be the same, Like are we all
angling towards the same thing? Like we're trying to get
all the best teams playing for it. So if you
have different conference tie breaking scenarios, you're gonna come up
with a different result. The ACC came up with this result,
(34:59):
or Duke's playing UVA, and if Duke wins the disaster
scenario for the a SEC. They have to sit there
and look at their conference champ with five losses. That's
not gonna get in the playoff. I had no shot
getting the playoff even though they I think they ESPN
had someone there. Yet you standing on campus to the
microphone like.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yeah, Jonas up here, we think the Duke Blue Devils
a shot to get it there. That's like, no, they
have no shot. But you get an ACC team into
the College Football Playoff though you do, but not recognized
as their conference champ. Right, that's what they're saying.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
They have to be lucky enough that the committee finally
moved them ahead of Notre Dame because they had to head.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Like Ohio State wasn't in the Big Ten championship game
last year, and they and think about it, and I
said that I made this point before. You have a
national title holder that didn't even win their conference. There's
a there's a conference. Yeah, there's a conference.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
All four teams last year in semi finals, none of them,
none of them none the conference weird.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
So so why I'm find by that? But watch it
to me, watch did the conference championship matter? Like that
brings up another question wat should it like like I
get it, if I'm if I'm you know, I mean,
I'm not trying to talk for Peter. I'm not trying
to talk to anything else.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
I would I would step back from all of this
and say, we're not going to point out like how
we feel like we were in you know it was
injust with what happened. Let's talk about this whole process
and let's better understand how we get to the best
twelve teams playing for it because we don't all have
the same criteria, we don't all have the same stuff.
(36:38):
But everyone who wants to hold that over notre names
head would join a conference, join a conference. You don't
need to join a conference in order to win the
national championship, because why it seems in the conferences don't
win their conference and go play for a national championship.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
They played for one last year. Yeah, probably last your point,
Ohio State won it last.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Year and they didn't play in their conference champions so
like then, it kind of devalues it all together. So
now it makes it like, well, why don't we figure
out a way of structuring this where those games are
like playing games you know during that weekend? Why are
we doing Confience Championship weekend? Why can't we do like
some sort of hey the top. You know, however, many teams,
the rankings are all squaring off. You know what I'm saying,
(37:19):
Like you could start that round there as opposed to
saying we got to play Confence Championships, then we got
to go to the first round. Then we gotta go
to the quarterfinal like you could. You could expand this
thing to sixteen and we could start this thing a
little sooner, which I think a lot of people would
be all four.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
There's too many sensitivities on trying to get X amount
of teams in. That's what I think. Yeah, well, I
think that's part of it.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
I think the other thing is there's a lot of
good stuff out there right now with the holidays coming up.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
But I don't ask you.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
Have you guys heard about this trainer games to add
this to your binge list? I know, Jonas, you've got
stuff to watch ten athletes go head to head for
a chance to win an I Fit trainer contract.
Speaker 2 (37:57):

Speaker 5 (38:00):
Put that in your pipe and smoke it for it
in Strem Prime Video starting at January eighth, Hell Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
My guys, it's your boy here in case you missed
the time.
Speaker 9 (39:34):
What a mark.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I'll tell you, guys, what up right now? So y'all
heard about Quentin Jammer, you know, the corner for the Chargers. Yeah,
so this is a good one. So apparently he didn't
log an inner twenty eleven year, which he says, well,
there's a reason for that. Apparently true story. He set
himself on Twitter that year. That season he played completely well,
(40:12):
smashed drunk in at least eight games.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
I'm not even lying.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
He even said it, even mentioned he had two shows.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
I don't understand how guys would smell that, you know,
I don't know. I mean I know how I guys
who would smoke, right.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
But they also did that like every day. So it
was like, all right, well that's how they practice, always play.
I knew a guy's taking a shot, yeah before Yeah,
Marshaan's like take a shot, but like drink. Yeah, Like
I don't know, you'd be cramping up and stuff like.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Not only does it not make any sense, but then
now trying to find the sense might even be more.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Maybe I don't concerning that's that's a concerning admission of
you know, of information there.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
I mean, I'm not saying he's lying. I'm just saying
I feel like that'd be really hard to get away with.
Somebody would see it.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
Like I know, there's got to be enough dudes that
have enough kind of being able to discern or intuition
and be like, hey man, check on Quenton bruh.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
But I mean, I'll say this much. I know, I
know one quarterback used to drink during training camp. So
and it wasn't on my team, but I had some
some buddies who had played with them, and you know
he would he would do that from time to time.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
But like that's the extent of what I've ever heard.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
See, I knew that Tim Tebow wasn't on.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
The up and up, like I just said, I was
not his teammate. I was to his teammate. So see,
all your materials gone all your materials gone.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
I'm waiting for today that I hear about a dude
getting butt before a game. That's that's what I want
to hear. That would be more interesting than drugs. But yes,
but you know, like you know, like you know, having
a moment with someone you know. Well, y'all never heard
of the term called that getting But no.
Speaker 2 (42:09):

About, though, Jonas is, uh, you know, Mike vick Gott
inducted last night, and so when I was walking in,
I kind of walked in with him and I just
looked at him. I said, dude, you should have got
in like the day you left college, Like I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Know what took so long. Twenty twenty five. Yeah, we
know you have a comeback for that.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Well, no, have they listened.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Listen? No? No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
No, no, no, come on, was Boss Hog a part of.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Alright, p boss Damn.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It was a tough one. No.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So my thought is, have we figured out what the
criteria is for the College Football Hall of Fame and
how to get in? Because I would also say, why
the hell isn't Brady Quinn in the holly?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Whoa whoa first? First?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
I first, first off? Far Terry Hanrady just got in
from Notre Day. Yeah, dude, I mean all back in
the sixth from Butler County, Like that's baby.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Like.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Look, I'll say this, I appreciate that it'd be an
honor one day to get in. There are so many
deserving dudes when you look up there like so many
guys who have to wait a long time to get
in for that.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
That's fair. So but you still should be in the mix. Ie.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
But like I said, he was, there is some because
the shots of Gus was a trip.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
They brought up the MIAK Offensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Yeah it's a white dude, and what.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Dude?
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Chuck Season was sitting right behind the start laughing as.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
He's the best.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
And I look over across and Chuck and I said it, Gus,
I was like, yeah, man, I was like the white
boy's back.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
We got a little dang. Yeah, hell yeah, Gus, Gus
the trip man. Yeah, it was a good night though.
It was a good night.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
So yeah, was was Gus vaping? Or did he? Did
he leave it back in the room?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Why are you? Why do you put out there? Why
are you doing that?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I can't I'm just asking the question. You know, we
got at the three answer.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You know the answer Gus is the man. I love Gus.
They definitely no the answer.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well, look it sounds like it.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Was what you did last night, Jonas nothing you had
boots on the ground somewhere.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, Innxico.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Did you beat up your palms again? Tall laugh at
what Andy Reid called it to the Offensiveliven put them
D beaters in them? When you go to block and
put them D beaters in them? About them D beaters?
(05:44):
Jonahs them? What them the beaters? Yeah? I can't say
it on there. I can't say it on there.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Probably cleaner and so it was.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It was.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
It was along the same lines of what what we
led in with. I was adding on to it.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, uh well, speaking of college football beater no, definitely,
definitely not it sounds like he's got enough of that
going on there.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
But hey, man, come on, bro relaxed, he relax touch.
I saw Wilson last night. Man, weren't we just talking about?
I feel like we were just talking about yesterday? Man, Yeah,
I was talking about. I saw him good. I was
excited to see him. Man, he looks good. Guys are
staying and walked in with Brian A rackpo Rae. Man,
(06:32):
he's a big and he was like, dude, was like,
you still playing big? Dude? I wasn't. I wasn't quite sure.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I grabbed Eddie George from behind and I was like,
why does he still feel like this?
Speaker 7 (06:45):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Eddie can still looks like he's still playing bro? He
felt like a brick.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I forgot how I forgot how big he was until
he came out on bigger than me. When you guys
had him on big noon for the Ohio State Michigan game.
I was like, I think it was the Ohio State
Michigan game. He was massive and I forgot was Oh
that guy played running back like that guy played bro.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
He's massively yoked up.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, he's like yoked So good for them because some
of us don't maintain those those levels of standard of
the way they're looking.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Don't venture there, don't do it far. I felt so
freaking fat and out of shape and ugly. You looked
good last night, man. Yeah, he walks out of this thing.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
They kind of put him in front of the banner
or that little I don't know background, and he just pops,
you know, Laura smiles.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I'm here, I'm here. It's you know, it's it's an act.
I'm able to put it on.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I put the face on, but behind that face, that smile,
there's a total total cringe.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Man.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Just I couldn't believe it. That's a huge bitch.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah, man, one day, I'm gonna figure it out one day.
Like I interviewed, you know dude that looks like a model.
Now it looks like a model. He was like a
center and I was like, who the hell's that guy
up there? And then they're like they should him. I
was like, damn, what are you like?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I called him a different dude and the dude that
I called him looks like the lineman now and it's crazy, Like,
I don't know, man, I just I see certain examples
of how good people can do things and make themselves
look and feel good and I'm just not on that
list of people.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But what's the uh would you if you had to
guess how many people are there in attendance.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
For Oh my gosh, it's a few people. Yeah, there's
a few people. And so it's pretty decent production.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
We think about this, how many is there one hundred
tables or I don't know, it's more than one hundred,
it's a hundred.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
And so what's the like, is there like a cocktail
hour and then a post?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah? Yeah, and so the cart starts that four point thirty.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
They push everyone kind of into this big, gigantic ballroom
at the Blagio.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Then you're in there just amongst like a lot of
I mean, one.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Of the things I'll say it was it was Charles
Davis MC the event so good but he's good. Blake Elliott,
he's a wide receiver from Saint John's, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
They had the loudiest and the rowdiest four tables. They
say it looked like more than that, but they had
the tables up there in the back and they knew
to put them all the way and they were rowdy.
Shots out to you guys from Saint John's but y'all
don't know how to act. Man, I don't know how
(09:37):
to act.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Man.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
They came up and they yeah, they might act, came
up and now I don't think they were boozed up.
They were just excited. I'm I'm making making fun of it.
But I mean, hey, man, that was a lot of support.
He was very humble too. He got when they called
him and they went crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You know, you could tell it was like it meant
a lot to him that all those people came and
supported him. So it's pretty cool, man, pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
MEDICID named Connor yesterday, uh, from Saint Jude obviously part
of yeah, part of like the Shriners, you know deal.
I was at the Shriners table and they had a
great time with him and his mom and you know
the rest of the people from you know, from the Shriners.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
So it was good.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
It was a good night, man, It was a good night. No,
I don't do tie. I'm with you, man, I do TI.
I'm not gonna lie I had on my model. I
don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
What where's the tie from truth truth? What type of tie?
I don't know. You're not going to say it's from
Ross or or I don't do that anyway? Can I
be honest?
Speaker 5 (10:47):
I think I actually have it from like our Fox
Sports wardrobe, Like I wore it as part of a suit.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
That they gave me, and I.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Took the time because I like that. Yeah, yeah, I'm
sure I have no idea. I actually never even looked
to see where it's from.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Well, I'm sure it's an important tie, and I'm sure
they're okay with you having it, you.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Like, the only important tie that I know is Tyrone. Yeah,
that's an important tie. But which one? Both of them
or just Tyrone?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Tyrone? Yeah, you're Tyrone important?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah he is. He's a white guy named Tyrone. How
could he not be?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Mit Johnson is important to me. You know you have Tyrone.
I'm gonna just take Johnson. He's important to me. No
one's doubting that he's very important. No one's question important
to me.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And Mike Johnson are very very close with one another.
We had daily conversations. You know, he winks at me. Yeah, yeah,
I smile at him.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
That her up, baby, Patty swihuh. Patty never cracks the
mic on the first segment, you know, where are you
at Patty.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Come on, Patty, pat I'm ready here.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Boys. What's up there? What's up? What's up? How are
you feeling, man, I'm.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Feeling pretty good right know. How you guys feeling in Vegas?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I mean tired?
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Honestly, Yeah, there was It's just I mean, LeVar knows
he's got to entertain and talk to people and stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I I'd probably do that longer than I should.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
But man, all I know though, is I was introduced
to every time I'm out here, like it's a little
deeper dive in the world of gambling. Dude, Calci. Like
I was trying to tell you about when we were
talking about, you know what, there was football playoffs, whatever
else you bet on.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It is involved the futures. Betty market is wild. It's wild. Wild.
Pauly Market would be coming out soon to like all
that stuff wild.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Yeah, anybody, it'll overtake, it will overtake like the sports
gambling world.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Oh wow, he's telling you right now.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
It's the next level, next level for sure. I've seen
and the affiliations are starting, the relationships are starting to build,
like it's just it's it's a slow takeover and then
eventually it's just going to be here for good, which
is uh, you know, which would have helped out potentially.
Last night I got the bad beat. Oh ye, ask
(13:31):
me what I did last night. I watched the effing
Penguins leading by a goal. Okay, so I had I
had ten dollars to win two ten on a live
bet on the Penguins. Okay, ten dollars to win twenty
one dollars, so plus two ten. The Penguins gave up
(13:52):
the tying goal and regulation with a tenth of a
second left, literally a tenth of a second left, and
then lost in shootouts. Got kicked right in the nuts
in front of my son, and he looked at me
and he was a shamed Papa.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Why are your nuts so sore? Poa?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
He was ashamed. And I looked at him and I said, hey, buddy,
that's coming out of your stocking, not mine. So so
you got to deal with that.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Talked to my job. Did job uh go play catch yesterday? John?
Get caught up on that man.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, he wanted to do basketball yesterday. So we did
basketball and then at night do basketball.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He can't reach the hoop.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Well, we got like a like a Fisher price, like
a little nerve.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You got a nerf hoop?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, like a little like a little like tikes hoop
in the backyards. We did that and then uh, then
we do floor hockey where you have like this little
indoor hockey net and uh, you just play on the
on the carpet upstairs. Pretty fun. Yeah, that's all that's
all I got.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Man.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You guys are hanging around Hall of Famers. I'm hanging
around him.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So it seems like you live in a world of
arrested development. Bro, Do you watch that show? I've seen
it like once or twice. Man, that's what most underrated
shows of all time. Watch that show? No, because I
don't have to bet that it's one of the greatest
shows ever. If you watch it. I start to finish
(15:13):
seeing it. Man, the way they weave in different season,
Oh my gosh, can I watch that show? I don't
have to take it out.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Wasn't arrested development of band?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Then too, and they sing it was a Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Tennessee, Yeah, Tennessee Tennessee. Philip Fomer was there last night.
Big John Henderson got in to the Hall of Fame.
That was nice seeing him. It's a big man, bro.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You know the one that is like, come on, smack me,
smack me to the plug. How big is that? He's big.
He's huge, sixty seven, he's huge, three hundred pounds. He's
a big dude. Man.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I asked him about that too. I asked him about
the slap He's said because he was nervous. He said,
he was trying to get.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That first hit. And you know, the guys that play ball,
they know about like the first hit. There's a lot
of guys that are first hit guys. Like I was
the first hit guy, like, I'd be ready to throw up.
I'd be scared, nervous, like all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But once I got the first hit out of the way,
I was like, all right, there's a game, Like let's
go ahead and get it in. And so he's like, yay.
He'd be so nervous that he was like, I just
tried to get the first hit out of the way,
because once I got the first hit out of the way,
I'd be all right. I was like, did it work?
He was like I guess, so, yeah, You're just like
getting slapped in the face by that dude.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
Man.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
We started laughing, But that was that was The story
behind it is that he was in his nerves were bad,
so I tried to get the first hit out of
the way before he went out on it.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
That's a real thing, you know. It is a real
boxes go through that too, right, you got to get
that first hit, man.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I feel like that with quarterbacks a little bit because
you don't get hit often, so like to settle you
down a little bit, just getting it over with, you
know what I'm saying. So like I always feel like
young quarterbacks, it's good to have him like kind of
get outside the pocket, run a little bit.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Maybe you get head, maybe you don't. Put just gets
hear the flow a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
You have so many experiences, like especially as like as
you get older in the game and you start playing
it a little bit more because you've had so many
different things happen, right, Like you'll get into a game,
you hit a couple of guys and it's like, oh,
it's not a physical game. This isn't a physical outfit.
Then you'll get into a game and you you'll hit
a guy and it's like and it's going to be
(17:28):
a physical game. Yeah, And you don't know, you don't
know what it's going to be until and sometimes even
with the same guy, like sometimes it's like it's not
the same, Like, oh, you played harder or you were
hitting harder, you know a season ago, You're not even
hitting as hard this year.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Like all right, we're good.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
I would say college like Michigan. Yeah, like you always knew,
like the next week you were just.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You were gonna be banged up. Physical game.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
It was always physical, I'd say, Like, there's a few
two like Penn State. I played them once while I
was there, but a more physical game. Uh, usually like Michigan,
Michigan State, Pens State, like one of those big tennis schools, NFL.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Wisconsin, Army Navy.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
They were up in the house too, man, And that
was pretty cool, man, seeing all of them like in
their uniforms and stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Like the guys in the trenches who were just getting
their knees cut out, like all game against Army Navy.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Which it was I always remember.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Well, that's why I don't even want to get on
this topic because so many people are tired of talking
about it because everyone's just ripping apart in their name
is scheduling now, like they just they could schedule the
Kansas City Chiefs, and it wouldn't be it wouldn't be good.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
It wouldn't be good enough. No, not for some morons
out there.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
But it's what's funny about Navy is and you can
ask any team that's to prepare for, they're the worst
to prepare for. It's like gives he Yeah, it just
gives everyone anxiety. And then the lineer are gonna get
cut and you can't practice that and practice because you
don't want to get guys injured, and some coaches will
do it. Then you guys gets hurt and they're like,
all right, here we go. Like it's just it's miserable
(19:01):
offensive to go up against him because you only touch
the ball like six times a game. You know, usually
they're gonna get those fourth downs or even just the
rhythm of how you prepare to go back on the field.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Because they'll go for four downs and they'll get it.
You know. It's just it's a whole different like vibeing
way they go about playing.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
But I wouldn't again, as an offensive player, I would
not call it as physical. Maybe the defensive players would
say it is more so, especially when the hey dude,
mah Kyle Echel back in the day, and you got
to attack that fullback.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
That dude was unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
I just I remember guys like Flows l Adams like
that was ridiculous going up against him. I remember, uh,
big Aaron. You remember Aaron Gibson from Wisconsin. He's like
a mountain of a man. Like the Big Ten had
some of the biggest dudes. And you don't never cross
(19:54):
pass with pace, did you. Nah, he's a little before you.
I played against him in the league, but I didn't
play against Can you imagine him in college?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
No? I still said, this man what he finished in
the Heisman's tackle. Yeah, some people consider him literally like
top create a Yeah. I mean it's a period. It's
hard ause Archie obviously he's won the Heisman twice. Yeah,
but Archie b strolling too, don't. He's like the mayor.
He's the best. Archie Griffin is the mayor. It's wild too.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
You look at stats on things because like this year's Heisman,
like the quarterback stats compared the past years, it's not
quite as much. We talked about Love. Love has ridiculous
stats that he's sharing snaps. You go back, like one
of the years Archie you wanted and like Jonas, you
can keep me honest on this.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I think you had like.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Five rushing touchdowns, which is kind of wild to think.
It's like, how who was scoring all the points?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Then? Yeah, he was getting yours. Yeah, Art was. He's
a different that's a different one right there. Man. Do
you think we'll ever see a two time Heisman winner? Nope?
I thought Bryce Young. I thought Bryce Young was going
to be the guy to do it because.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
They won't allow it. Somebody, Well, you don't think so, No,
I just I think voters have an agenda.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Right, he probably.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I mean Lamar. I would also say Lamar the year
after he was better he won it. He was, it
was actually better, and then they didn't really give much consideration.
But it was mostly because like the team situations. Well yeah,
and he was phenomenal in this. In the next year,
arch is.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Second high ast man. He had four rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Four Okay, I was off crazy? Is that nuts? And
you're like, oh, how did you win it? Yeah? How
many yards did he have?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Just thirteen fifty seven, So Ye had a little over
thirteen hundred yards. He had six a little over sixteen
hundred yards of the year prior. But that's also like
how many games you play ten, eleven, eleven year?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
What year was that?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Seventy four and seventy five.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
So that's the other thing people forget too, like look
at how many games these kids play? You know, now
you go through so many, so you look at the stats,
you're like, well, yeah, they play about you know sometimes
two three, they went.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Eleven and one eight zero in the conference.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
You know, he played in a Rose Bowl every single
year he was there. Archie, Yes, Yeah, every single year
he was there. He played in the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
I think though, like obviously the different Bowl conference affiliations
like Ohio State played in it like three out of
four years, Like we played him in five, I swear
to god. They went to Arizona the next year in
the national championship game, and then like I think maybe
the year before.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I gotta I gotta go look back there. Maybe it's
two years prior they were there.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
There was a string of years where Ohio State was
playing in some sort of national championship in Arizona, Fiesta
Bowl in Arizona or like something in that in that
capacity for a string of years.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Wow, they dropped to four about the Sea by season
seasons and that was a Woody Hayes coach team. But yeah,
I mean yeah, the.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
MVP of the team was Cortnelias Green. So the guy
that won the Heisman wasn't even an MVP of the team.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Well there, you want to be an MVP at your home,
go to home depot and get some tools. Shows who
show up early with tools built the last job after job,
year after year. When the job calls for the best
call of makda available at the home depot, pros get
more done. We are going to have another edition of

Who Knows Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox
Sports Radio LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here.
We are going to hear from a familiar familiar voice
here in just a couple of moments from now. But
right now, it is time for the tire rack play
of the day. Here's Descric Bade. He's been closing the
whole four got to the rack that tide Miami Heat
(26:46):
players bouncing all over the place and baiting finishes through
the contact.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
He's like a bullet ball coming down the alley at
something I was able to gather collected, banking.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
It off the glass. That call courtesy of the game
in Orlando. That's your tire rack play of the day.
For over forty years, Tyrack's been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship
Fast and freeback by free Road has a protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation ti iraq dot
com the way tire buying should be. So obviously, you
guys are around college football luminaries, all right, So some
(27:18):
of the best in college football to ever do it.
And you know, there's there's also some other stories going
on in college football which really like what well in
my opinion. Way more interesting than any of the first
round matchups is Notre Dame versus. Everybody has been really,
really entertaining. Pete Bavaqua, the Notre Dame Athletic director, spoke
(27:44):
yesterday about sort of how things kind of took a
turn when it came to dealing with the ACC and
Jim Phillips, the commissioner of the ACC. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
I think it was like a three three and a
half week campaign. So the first media post, and my
gut reaction was that somebody in their socialmedia department got
over their skis and did something that the ACC was
going to correct. And quite frankly, I was kind of
expecting a phone call saying, hey, sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
It won't happen again.
Speaker 10 (28:14):
But then it did happen again, and we started to
communicate with the ACC texts that I sent, emails that
I sent, and it continued to happen, and I had
a conversation at a phone call with Jimmy we could
go today, saying hey, listen, that's a conversation I want
to keep between me and Jimmy. But certainly got the
(28:37):
point across that this was raised eyebrows and you got
to know it's caused damage here between the university and
the ACC. It just kind of puzzled us that a
conference that's home to over six hundred of our student
athletes walking around this campus today, I guess chose to
go down that road.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Why would you.
Speaker 10 (28:54):
Attack an unbelievably important business partner of yours in football
and a member of your conference twenty four other sports.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
So that's a Notre Dame athletic director.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Have you talked to him.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I haven't talked to Pete. I haven't talked to our
athletic director. But I would generally just say this. You know,
college football is but ultimately drives the revenue, drives.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Ratings, and that's Notre Name's identity.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
So I personally look at it and say, I get
it from both sides of it, Like I understand that
there's a lot of other sports student athletes who are
maybe looking at it going, well, we're in the ACC,
like why why the campaigning like that? But I also
look at it and said, you're not for football. And
if Jim Phillips, who's the conference commissioner, is okay with
(29:49):
them pushing for a team like Miami pushing for their
Conference champion Duke, Like, I get it, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
I don't have a problem with it.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
Like I don't look at social media, and maybe that's
just the difference and age and experience and all that
as social media, like I don't look at it to
be this sort of professional platform.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
It's just not so.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
When when we really want to boil this down and say, well,
there was a campaign to me person, I'm like, all right,
like water under the bridge, you know. I think one
of the things that that I looked at it was like, okay,
this is more of what I would say is kind
of an issue is when you do something out of
the norm, like the ACC network continually playing the Notre
(30:29):
Dame Miami game for like two three days straight, whatever
it was. When you see stuff like that, you're like, okay,
that's a little different, Like that's someone who's actually taking
cable channel like airtime and they're playing.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
It over and over and over again, which is out
of the norm. They've never done that before.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
I think the intentions were to make sure they reminded
people that mind me beat Notre Dame.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
It's both political ads that you see.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Exactly Like that was where you kind of felt like, okay,
but us versus them thing, and that's kind of what
the idea is really trying on the drive home here, right.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Yeah, And I think the one thing that gets a
little bit like the way the water gets a little muddied,
is like, you have a partial affiliation. So even though
it's twenty four of the sports, you're also playing five
games a year that are against the ACC, and the
ACC schedules that like Notre Dame messona avity control over
which five of those are. There's a lot of people
don't understand how the scheduling comes about for Notre Dame.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
That's part of that. A lot of people, by the way,
are like, oh.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
The ACC saved Notre Dame during COVID, and there's some
truth to that as far as what that schedule was
going to look like for them because of how various
conferences handled COVID. I will remind people too though the
one year they are part of a conference, they swept
the regular season and they played the conference championship game
lost to Clemson. But still like, if people wanted to
(31:48):
join a conference, that's fine. I think Notre Dame is
going to compare favorably versus most they would have in
the playoff this year versus SEC opponents.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
But I think the greater thing that I would draw.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Or point to that ultimately led to the frustration for
Notre Dame fans not getting the playoff at least in
regards to the ACC was the way they went about
determining who played the conference championship game. That should be
the same for every powerful conference. The fact that we
don't have, I mean, and this is really the greater
issue in college football, the fact that not everyone plays
(32:22):
nine conference games, which they will starting next year.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
You get the SEC doing that, obviously, the Big Ten
does that, the Big Twelve, et cetera. You you're getting
a little bit closer to that.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
But then it's like, okay, well can we all agree
not the schedule FCS opponents like, if you look at
a lot of these old MISS resumes this year, or
excuse me, the SEC resumes this year old MISS in particular,
they've got an SEC opponent on it. If you really
break down, they played three teams with winning records, like
three or four teams something like that. It's like, all right, well,
how hard was that schedule that no one's talking about
that just because they have one loss.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
It wasn't that difficult to schedule.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
So there's a lot of inequities, unequal schedules that were
trying to compare to determine who should be playing off
for this thing. Well, that even extends to the conference
championship game. How do we get those two teams there?
If they had adopted the AAC tie breaking scenarios, which
is head to head, then the highest college football playoff ranking,
(33:15):
you know which two teams are, you would have got
Miami versus UVA. Miami would have won Miami's in jam
U's out bid her names in And that's probably how
it should have worked. Like, as much as we wanted
to make this a whole Notre Dame Miami thing and
everything else, Miami should have won the ACC. They're the
best team in the conference, and instead you have Duke
(33:36):
playing off fors Uva as a five lost conference champ
because of their odd tie breaking it was what record
versus common opponents or winning percentagers common opponents, some odd
way in which they went to a third tiebreaker. But
that's not an automatic qualifier, right, Well, no, no, it
would be. It would be an olive would be an
(33:58):
automatic qualifier. It doesn't mean you get a so so
two years ago it meant you would have you the
top four highest conference champion bicks, we get buys.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Now they just said it's automat qualifiers. So so Duke,
it's in. They're not in the playoff. No, that's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
So, uh because they but no, no, no, because they
weren't one of the five highest rank conference champions.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
They're a five lost team. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
But I think what I think some people have been
getting turned around and mixed up on what automatic qualifying represents, Like,
doesn't mean that if you win your conference in a
power in one of the power in any of the
Power four conferences, that's your automatic quality.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
That's not it.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Well again, it's it's that's not it because of the
way these different conferences construct their tie breaking scenarios. Yeah,
it should all be the same, Like are we all
angling towards the same thing? Like we're trying to get
all the best teams playing for it. So if you
have different conference tie breaking scenarios, you're gonna come up
with a different result. The ACC came up with this result,
(34:59):
or Duke's playing UVA, and if Duke wins the disaster
scenario for the a SEC. They have to sit there
and look at their conference champ with five losses. That's
not gonna get in the playoff. I had no shot
getting the playoff even though they I think they ESPN
had someone there. Yet you standing on campus to the
microphone like.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yeah, Jonas up here, we think the Duke Blue Devils
a shot to get it there. That's like, no, they
have no shot. But you get an ACC team into
the College Football Playoff though you do, but not recognized
as their conference champ. Right, that's what they're saying.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
They have to be lucky enough that the committee finally
moved them ahead of Notre Dame because they had to head.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Like Ohio State wasn't in the Big Ten championship game
last year, and they and think about it, and I
said that I made this point before. You have a
national title holder that didn't even win their conference. There's
a there's a conference. Yeah, there's a conference.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
All four teams last year in semi finals, none of them,
none of them none the conference weird.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
So so why I'm find by that? But watch it
to me, watch did the conference championship matter? Like that
brings up another question wat should it like like I
get it, if I'm if I'm you know, I mean,
I'm not trying to talk for Peter. I'm not trying
to talk to anything else.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
I would I would step back from all of this
and say, we're not going to point out like how
we feel like we were in you know it was
injust with what happened. Let's talk about this whole process
and let's better understand how we get to the best
twelve teams playing for it because we don't all have
the same criteria, we don't all have the same stuff.
(36:38):
But everyone who wants to hold that over notre names
head would join a conference, join a conference. You don't
need to join a conference in order to win the
national championship, because why it seems in the conferences don't
win their conference and go play for a national championship.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
They played for one last year. Yeah, probably last your point,
Ohio State won it last.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Year and they didn't play in their conference champions so
like then, it kind of devalues it all together. So
now it makes it like, well, why don't we figure
out a way of structuring this where those games are
like playing games you know during that weekend? Why are
we doing Confience Championship weekend? Why can't we do like
some sort of hey the top. You know, however, many teams,
the rankings are all squaring off. You know what I'm saying,
(37:19):
Like you could start that round there as opposed to
saying we got to play Confence Championships, then we got
to go to the first round. Then we gotta go
to the quarterfinal like you could. You could expand this
thing to sixteen and we could start this thing a
little sooner, which I think a lot of people would
be all four.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
There's too many sensitivities on trying to get X amount
of teams in. That's what I think. Yeah, well, I
think that's part of it.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
I think the other thing is there's a lot of
good stuff out there right now with the holidays coming up.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
But I don't ask you.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
Have you guys heard about this trainer games to add
this to your binge list? I know, Jonas, you've got
stuff to watch ten athletes go head to head for
a chance to win an I Fit trainer contract.

Speaker 9 (39:34):

Speaker 3 (39:48):
I'll tell you, guys, what up right now? So y'all
heard about Quentin Jammer, you know, the corner for the Chargers. Yeah,
so this is a good one. So apparently he didn't
log an inner twenty eleven year, which he says, well,
there's a reason for that. Apparently true story. He set
himself on Twitter that year. That season he played completely well,
(40:12):
smashed drunk in at least eight games.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
I'm not even lying.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
He even said it, even mentioned he had two shows.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
I don't understand how guys would smell that, you know,
I don't know. I mean I know how I guys
who would smoke, right.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
But they also did that like every day. So it
was like, all right, well that's how they practice, always play.
I knew a guy's taking a shot, yeah before Yeah,
Marshaan's like take a shot, but like drink. Yeah, Like
I don't know, you'd be cramping up and stuff like.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Not only does it not make any sense, but then
now trying to find the sense might even be more.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Maybe I don't concerning that's that's a concerning admission of
you know, of information there.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
I mean, I'm not saying he's lying. I'm just saying
I feel like that'd be really hard to get away with.
Somebody would see it.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
Like I know, there's got to be enough dudes that
have enough kind of being able to discern or intuition
and be like, hey man, check on Quenton bruh.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
But I mean, I'll say this much. I know, I
know one quarterback used to drink during training camp. So
and it wasn't on my team, but I had some
some buddies who had played with them, and you know
he would he would do that from time to time.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
But like that's the extent of what I've ever heard.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
See, I knew that Tim Tebow wasn't on.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
The up and up, like I just said, I was
not his teammate. I was to his teammate. So see,
all your materials gone all your materials gone.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
I'm waiting for today that I hear about a dude
getting butt before a game. That's that's what I want
to hear. That would be more interesting than drugs. But yes,
but you know, like you know, like you know, having
a moment with someone you know. Well, y'all never heard
of the term called that getting But no.
Speaker 2 (42:09):

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
