Speaker 4 (01:04):
There's no happy medium, Like, there's no in between. It's
either one or the other.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
It's holidays more stressed out.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Man. You know you're you're either dealing with them being
too much of that and other people come into play,
or it's just not at all and you're just frustrated.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
It is what it is, Brady, you want in on this, No,
I do, but it's gonna happen. Yeah, we're just discussing
that there's certain people who handle the holidays better than others,
you know, like.

Speaker 5 (01:34):
Maybe people so I know, I feel like I know
what direction you're going.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Maybe people you're married to, Like this feels like some
handle handle it better than others, and uh, you know,
just kind of venting. It's it's the vent tent here
during the break. So just if you had an extended marriage,
you can probably relate. Nothing more necessary or needed to
be said.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
It's accurate. Is weird because to the outside world, like
you're desirable, some people would be like, man, wow, like really,
how's that? You probably don't want them, by the way,
not for keeps.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
But god y.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
All right, so, uh can you please I just walked
the dog anymore? Okay, please? Which is not a figure
of speech, Can you please explain to one Brandon T.
Quinn the origin of beeferron mouth orange ring mouth or.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Have you ever seen Patty in person? Q? I have not?

Speaker 4 (02:51):
All right, So Patrick is like, he's like, uh, how
do you explain the wal he's super he looks the
way he sounds. But you ever, you ever, you remember
that that all right? You remember the scene from from
Christmas Story when he was the kid, they was trying
to convince him eat his food, not Ralphie his brother.

(03:14):
They was trying to convince him to eat the food.
And then he was like he was eating it, and he
was like, good Peggy, right right. That's kind of like
Patty has that look where he looks exactly the same
as he did when he was a baby as an adult,
and the way he laughs and the way he does things.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
He still looks like I was looking at him, I
was like, bro, that's not like baby Huey. Isn't that
kind of similar to baby I don't know, he's just
a baby that looks like an adult.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
I don't know who baby Yueie is, so I'm maybe
Huey even I don't who is he?

Speaker 5 (03:50):
Where is he from?

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Hold on?

Speaker 6 (03:53):
I always feel like Richie Ritchie incognito kind of looks
like baby.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Okay, So he's like a Richie incognito. That's a that's
a perfect rich And during the break, show me what
show me a picture that were sending to me Richie
and Ritchie and Cognito. That's why Patrick, that's not baby you?

Speaker 5 (04:10):
Is that that?

Speaker 4 (04:11):
That's I knew that was a duck like from ducktails,
baby Uey, Like, that's you showed me the wrong one, Jonas,
That's that's ducktail talking about that's ducktail.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
That's ducktails.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
It's a different baby, baby baby you. Anyway, So just
picture Richie and Cognito. He probably looked exactly the same
as a baby. So I envisioned like I was looking
at Patti this one time and he was like doing
something really it was funny, like he was like he
was smiling, like.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
He was shaking. He was not the picture. That just
that that's fun man.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
So Patrick was dancing in his chair and he's just
really like that. That's why that that's why we love
Patrick because it's infectious. His energy is infectious in this
day and age of everybody doom and gloom and poor me,
he's just fun.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, he's a good as it's always always great energy,
always great energy. So I was looking at him. I
was like, man, he looks like one of them kids
that always would come around when you were younger. And
he either had like the kool Aid stained face or
the b Feroni's stained face, like it was either red
or it was orange, whatever it was, it was staining
his face. And I was like, I could see him

(05:33):
with that big ass ring around his mouth. And so
now I call him, hold on, hold on, I call him.
I called him b Feroni, Cherry Spaghettio's cowboy.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
I feel like this is just a white thing though.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
No, no, black people get it too. That so do
uh so do other ethnicities as well. It's all it's
really all about how light your skin is. Like me,
I don't get I don't get the stains that well.
Because I'm dark. I'm dark enough to eat it. I
eat the I eat the stain. The stain is there,
but you can't see it.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
I eat it. Yeah, I eat, I absorbed the stain.
Yeah right.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
But but but lighter complected people they get the stains.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
It don't matter, it does not discriminate.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
The stain is the stain, whether it's Beeferroni, Spaghettios or
blue cake when I was one years old, kool a
icing from cake like emple like that.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, yep, oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
And and but Patty has the face where you could
see him as a baby with all those stains on
his face. Dust In the Beferroni boy, And I am
pretty baby like with his hands and his spaghettio. His
spaghettio is all on his hands, all on his face.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
So they call me the Beeferoni boy, the Beeferoyferoni.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
Boy, Bferoni cowboy. That's right. Yeah, that happened last week.
Owns it. There you go. This baby picture is funny
as hell.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
But I'm still crying from that's so funny. Uh. By
the way, we were talking about the college football playoff
over the weekend, the opening round. I'm still trying to
figure out what the hell Texas A and m Miami was.
I'm still trying to figure that one out. You don't
think that was a great defense, Yeah, Like kicking was

(07:20):
an issue. It just for Miami. It just seemed like there.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
I mean, it wouldn't have been a game if he
was making the kicks, that's true.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
That would have won by double digits.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, and Oklahoma's meltdown in the in the second.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
Half was not their offense is so bad? Yeah, that
was not.

Speaker 6 (07:39):
What's wild is Matier after what it was a week
four or five Jonas he was like the heavy favorite.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
And then he got suffered that injury and he was
never the same after that.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
Well, and Ben Arbuckle there oc he was being lauded
as this like next, you know, great offensive mine and
I swear of got Berks. The receiver made some ridiculous
catches the second half the season, but that offense it
went to absolute crap. And it's not like all on
Materi after the surgery either, Like I didn't think he

(08:12):
played well.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
He hasn't been seeing the field. Well. Their offense just
didn't have any answers.

Speaker 6 (08:18):
We can give Bama credit, but I'll say what I
said before Bama, Oklahoma, Old Miss, they all played each other,
beat each other, and because they got the SEC conference
patch on their jersey, we tend to give them the
benefit of doubt. I don't think any three of the
teams are very good. And we have to watch Old

(08:39):
Miss play Tilan, which we already watched that matchup. We
already saw how it turned out earlier.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
This season. I mean, if you really look.

Speaker 6 (08:45):
At how the first round of this playoff was set up,
it's set up to try to get as many SEC
teams as possible to play for the national championship. Like
if this thing was set up where you got, you know,
for example, Oregan to play an SEC team, Ohio State
to play an SEC team, Miami played to play an
SEC team this round.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
That's what we don't want to watch.

Speaker 6 (09:08):
If the SEC is supposed to be the best, let
them play some of the best formating teams, see what happens.
But instead we're gonna get Ohio State and Miami. One's
gonna knock each other out. I think both those two
teams are probably they're definitely better than Bama. They're definitely
better than Ole miss. In my opinion, Georgia is probably
the only one that can actually compete with any of them.

(09:29):
And yeah, we have the Waltz through this crap because
of how the committee to set this up.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
I got Georgia winning it. Probably the only SEC team
I can't stick.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
At first, I thought it was gonna be Indiana Ohio State,
But the more I kind of think about it, it's
going to be a shake up and there's no other
team that can do it other than Georgia. And I
think if Georgia makes it, in Indiana makes it. I
just got this weird feeling that Georgia is gonna handle
that big game better than what Indiana will.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Am I a bad person for not believing in Indiana
until I see them win.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
No, I was with you mean, beat them, Yeah, most
big Bama to beat him.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
I just I'm telling you, and this is it's no
disrespect when you see the difference in the trenches. And
I heard Aaron Taylor talk a lot about this, just
how at the highest level it doesn't matter if it's
the NFL when you get the playoffs, but also when
you're talking about like college football, and and you know

(10:32):
obviously the playoffs, you got to be able to win
the line of scrimmage. For example, texts and m Miami
was an example of that. Miami won the line of
scrimmage at the end of that game. They were pushing
around and and I'm up front, Mike Elcho, their head coach,
admitted it, and that ended up being a difference. The
name Mark Fletch was phenomenal in the final moments of
that game. I will point out this Mary Christival, he

(10:56):
struggles with clock management at the end of the game
that the game became so much more dramatic after the
Malachi Tony touchdown, purely because.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
They didn't tell they didn't tell them, Hey, hey man.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
You get the first down, you get out of bounce,
go down, We'll run the clock out, kick a field
goal to win. It'll be a chip shot, or let
us run the clock off a little bit more before
we go give the ball back to Marcel Reid and
let them march down the field with a chance to
throw the touchdown to tie this thing, or god forbid
at home, go for to and win in regulation, Like
it didn't need to be that dramatic. But of course

(11:30):
it's a Mary Crystal ball coach team, so they can't
figure out how to end the game.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
What was the game last year where he had the
real bad issue with clockmakee Georgia Tech.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Yeah, God, I forget which.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
Two years ago Georgia Tech, I know stands out because
that was the one with it. Georgia Tech had no
business winning, and they found a way of winning that.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
But he had the same issue at Oregon. There was
another game, a situation at Oregon and when he got
to Miami that the same problems happened. And you know,
Oregon fans were like, yep, that we ran recognize that,
we've seen that before. Yeah, I just I'm wondering and
watching this whole thing.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
I Worgan didn't even have to play a game, He
didn't even have to play his starters in the second half.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
Dan Lanning wasn't.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Happy afterwards, he was not happy with his team.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
So I actually think that was the best thing for them. Yeah,
he needed to do that.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
He needed to do that, Like you blow him on
the first half show what you could have done, probably
could have put the seven or eighty on them.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
And then make them feel like they didn't do enough
exactly exactly, even though you know you weren't trying to
do more.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
Yeah, make them feel like they didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
The home game atmosphere though for the playoffs is and
you guys are there in person, but it just seems
awesome like it's it does. It does feel like it's
at another another level, like the nerves, the anxiety. Norman
felt like there was an anxious energy, especially when Alabama
Tiddy and him was.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
Popping off too. Though that looked like a spectacle there.

Speaker 6 (12:55):
Boy.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
Oh yeah, it was beautiful, man.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
I think that I thought it was beautiful to just
watching the energy of it all. It was beautiful, man, Eugene,
it was. And yeah, I had fond memories just like you.
You know, we had fond memories of last year of
when we were in the playoffs. Y'all didn't get a
home game though, right y'all had to go to Indian
They had Indiana home.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
Okay, yeah, okay, that's right. I thought y'all might have went.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
To didn't What didn't Jeremiah Love open up the game?

Speaker 4 (13:26):
I was in state college when I remember that. It
was on a Friday, wasn't it. Yeah, it was on
a Friday, that's right.

Speaker 6 (13:34):
Which again, watching both those two teams and then because
it look if I say both, honestly, they were a
better team at the end of the season than both
Miami and a m like if Miami wants to win
a national championship. The quarterback they paid three four million
dollars to in Carson back whatever they gave him, he
to play a lot better than that. It's really tough

(13:56):
to watch him because he does have talent and he's
the type of kid that could have gotten drafted high.
But there's been more guys this season that have played
their way out of being drafted high this season with
what they've done in some of the biggest moments. I mean,
Leonora Sellers is coming back at South Carolina this year.
Obviously Arch Manning, you know he's coming back to text

(14:16):
only enough.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
That was even a debate. And you look at.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
Someone like Carson Beck, who during his time at Georgia
a couple of years ago, he played really well, but
his final season just it seemed like I don't know
if it was the pressure, if he seemed shell shocked
or what it was, but it's just the tape hasn't
been good, and it seemed like they were hesitant to
put the ball in his hands to go win that game.

(14:41):
And if not for Mark Fletcher towed in that rock
man the way he ran that football, and then Malchi
Tony on a jet sweet pass handoff, what the hell
you want to call it? If not for that, like
and their defense, like, that's a game's a whole different story.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
Can I ask you a question?

Speaker 4 (14:57):
There were football There were NFL football games going on
at the same time as the college football playoff games
were going, which one do you think was more compelling?

Speaker 7 (15:07):
Like?

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Which one was more do you think that the NFL
still had higher ratings than.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
What was thought about? Not even close.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
I mean Oregon James Madison went head to head with
what Bears Packers? Yeah that was Philly or Philly Washington.
The ratings, the ratings won't be close even if it
was like Miami text and m which is a close game.
But I did find myself more intrigued by the playoff

(15:37):
games for college football because.

Speaker 5 (15:38):
There it's a one and done, you know.

Speaker 6 (15:41):
I mean even though some of the NFL games at
this point the season they're elimination games for teams and
or you know, they're they're shaping up the playoffs, it's
not like there you know, some of these teams already eliminated.
Some are still alive, but it's not like the end
all be all for some of them.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
There's got to be a way they can stagger some
of this stuff or they're not going head to head.
It feels a big CAFOL doesn't care. I mean I
wish they did, because that's that's their feeder league. Like
that's you know that that's an opportunity. You know, if
you're all about showcasing it at the draft, why not
get people ready?

Speaker 5 (16:15):
Like it feels like there's a way they can do that.
There's operate.

Speaker 6 (16:18):
College football is growing at a fast maybe a faster
rate than NFL is in regards to viewership. Now, NFL
is obviously a behemoth, but there's a lot more growth
that I don't know if the NFL really cares to
let college football in on a weekend that they're saying, nope, nope,
you guys are uh, you're done with your normal stuff

(16:39):
on Saturday, So we're gonna ahead and take this.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah, well they're gonna have to deal with it because
with this money being are is it?

Speaker 5 (16:50):
Is it true that.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
Now the whole REV Share thing, they don't have to
do any type of there are no requirements.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
They just get paid.

Speaker 4 (16:59):
Now Is that true that that just something like just
pass or something to that effect.

Speaker 6 (17:04):
No, with the REV shirt, it's been that. Now the
collective aspect is different. So with what they're paid by
the REV Share that is, that's true, But when it
comes down to there, you know, for example, Texas tech
Cody Campbell, who donated a lot of money, that's different.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
You know, that has to be passed to the CSC.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
Those deals have to be approved, and they're supposed to
at least have to do something in order to get paid.
In theory, whether that actually happens completely different story.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
I think college football is going to at some point
have to structurally put it together infrastructure wise. And once
they do it, and they just totally embrace being a
sport that should be considered a pro sport, I think
it's going it's going to be it's going to get interesting.

Speaker 6 (17:54):
Here's what's wild about this though, And I'm wondering, you know,
how this is going to be sorted out, because they
have a measure up now where there used to be
a red shirt.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Rule, right folks like you can, you know, go.

Speaker 6 (18:06):
To school, you don't play your first year, you read shirt,
so you have five years to play four years of eligibility.
They're now about to change that to just say you
have five years, you know to play football, so you're
gonna have five, which you know, changes records, That changes
all kinds of things, but it does away with this
whole notion of like having to worry about how many
games a guy played, Like you could have a.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
Player play with four games? Is that right?

Speaker 8 (18:30):
Far?

Speaker 6 (18:31):
And then they it's still mate their year of eligibility.
But here's what they don't tell you. You could play
four games in the regular season, you could play the
entire playoffs and it doesn't count. Really, imagine playing every
playoff game. Yeah, exactly. It's it's it's the most odd
way of looking at it. It's like it's a you're

(18:52):
essentially play what eight games?

Speaker 5 (18:54):
You know, all the natal doesn't even work, I know.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
So the point is like you're throwing up the history
of college football into a blender because like, forget records, forget.

Speaker 5 (19:08):
Eligibility like it used to be.

Speaker 6 (19:09):
And by the way, why was it four years of
eligibile because that was tied to a four year undergraduate degree.
And now we're getting to the point where we've got
players who are applying for a seventh year of eligibility. Yeah,
they're exhausting all efforts because they're getting paid. And it
calls in the question, all right, like what is the
eligibility limit? Like why is there an eligibility limit? Someone
at some point is going to be like, yeah, maybe

(19:30):
if we're viewing this as a professional sports league, and
if Jonas just noticed it's a feeder league to the NFL.
What really is it then that you considered a minor league.
Is there any limitations on how long a player can
play in the Triple A Baseball No, you could play
there for fifteen twenty years if he wants, And it
almost feels like that's where this is going, which I

(19:50):
kind of hate it if we're being real, because it
doesn't feel like anything like we're gonna have someone played,
you know, quarterback.

Speaker 5 (19:59):
At Texas for ten years.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
It's why I'm saying it's why the comp to the
NCAA Tournament doesn't make sense, because if you just watched
the college football playoff and then turned on the NCAA Tournament,
one feels like college.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
The other one feels more significant than that.

Speaker 6 (20:15):
It's almost get me started on don't get me start
on college basketball.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
That's changed.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
You got tons like college football feels like the in
between of college and professional. There's like an in between there,
whether it's minor leagues like you alluded to, like.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
You're just starting to want to look at it more
as a pro sport though.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
Yea, guys are.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Signing contract extensions.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
Yeah, okay, but you also have guys joining college basketball
rosters from the G League or from overseas right now, Like,
do you know any basketball player on any roster in college?

Speaker 5 (20:47):
No?

Speaker 6 (20:48):
And that a lot of that's because of what's happened
with Nil Cameron Boozer. Yeah he's not there anymore, or
the son is I guess, Yeah, I don't know, but
I'm just saying, like, a look at some of the
European dudes. You can't pronounce the names they're all coming over.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
I know, oh way for Kentucky just because he's Jason's
I can't even pronounce.

Speaker 6 (21:07):
The kid for Byu, who's like the top recruit. I've
given up on Kentucky, mostly because I'm not a believer.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Man.

Speaker 6 (21:15):
I just I'm not sure where Mark Pope has this
thing going on. Top of that, I want a group text.
There's some people who are very belligerent, and I'm just like,
all right, I can't take this anymore. So it is
one of those the wagon he's on there, he doesn't
participate as much. There's a there's a few guys who
are just they're the type of fans that like, I
just can't be around. We're like every possession there's there's

(21:37):
complaining about something.

Speaker 5 (21:39):
Can't do it, won't do it, won't do it, can't
win with it.

Speaker 6 (21:43):
I mean, my phone will open up with one hundred
texts and it's basically from like one guy in a
group chat.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
I got dude, I got no one's responding. Read the room.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
I got three of those on my phone, and I
just I can't block it or leave it because I
know how.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
They'll take it.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Yeah, it'll be because it's like they'll take a first
teammates and stuff like that. But I'd be one. I'd
be so ready to hit, like leave the group. And
it's going to say.

Speaker 5 (22:09):
LeVar left the group. I think he's better than us. Yes,
I don't. I don't think I'm better than them.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
I just don't like like having my phone go off
to them talking sports.

Speaker 5 (22:20):
It's weird.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
Quickly, though, this is what I would say. I think
would be a much more fun manner of doing all this.
Like Nick Saban said his piece about the group of six,
let them play off for their own championship, And maybe
he's right, you know, especially if the money's right, it
makes sense. It does feel like there's a different level
of play there. What to me would be better is

(22:43):
if you look at the promotion relegation format of like
the EPL, the English Premier League. If you had, for example,
let's just call the Big Ten in the SEC the
top two conferences in college football. I know people want
to now carry the flag for the ACC because Miami one.
Let's not forget, folks, that's not your conference champion. Duke
was all right, you could even figure out how to

(23:05):
get them in the conference championship game.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
So let's Miami's one good team in your conference. That's it.

Speaker 6 (23:12):
My point is Big ten SEC at the top two.
Essentially we're just playing off between the best teams in
those two conferences is what it's probably gonna end up being.
But why not have like a partnership where if we're
viewing the ACC and the Big twelve is lesser leagues,
it'd be like the Premier lead to the Championship where yeah,
maybe some years you have some Big Ten teams that
drop down and they're in the Big twelve, and maybe

(23:34):
there's some SEC teams that drop down and they dropped
down to the ACC, and then you have this kind
of promotion relegation back and forth, and it's tied into
some of the TV contracts now, a lot of stuff
would have to be ripped up and redone somehow. You
could probably figure it a way with having the group
of six below that and maybe they're involved and some
of those teams move up and move down. But from

(23:54):
a financial perspective, it would be really interesting to see.
I think you can make it work, and we're kind
of already there as it is with like players. I mean,
you got these players on one year deals. That's all
it is until there's a collective burden agreement and they
can unionize and they actually negotiate in a multi year contract,
which you'll still have buyouts, you'll.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Still have all the things we have in professional sports.

Speaker 6 (24:16):
But that model, to me, even though it's like way
outside the box probably will never happen, would be much
more compelling. And I also think it works within the
framework of what we have currently in college football.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Be interesting to see how it all continues to develop.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
I just come into play.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
It doesn't, I'll tell you where it does. It'll come
into play. If they start implementing like some of these
schools have the fine system, it'll it'll start. But with
that being said, what if a kid takes the physical
challenge is like, hey, you find me, you know, go
ahead and find me. I mean, I'm not going and

(25:00):
you still have to be eligible to play. I mean,
let's keep that in mind.

Speaker 6 (25:04):
But that's what I'm saying, is like, so that's gonna
be what a prerequisitive their working conditions is their eligibility.
Which it's a great question, and it's going to of
the degree if it's an afterthought. Yeah, because you already
have a job, exactly, and you.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Have a job that pays you more than the people,
most of them that you're in.

Speaker 6 (25:21):
School with, you know, most of them, all of them.
And by the way, that job is probably paying you more,
especially for certain guys, than the faculty teaching you.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Yeah, And what does that create? And what what type
of conflict does that create?

Speaker 3 (25:37):
You asked your teacher trying to get on you, like, wait,
who are you? I could afford my dinner?

That's right?

Speaker 3 (29:58):
And something tells me, uh, Pete Prisco is going to
be on one.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Do you think Pete Prisco does like handywork? Do you
think he like jump under the not I don't think absolutely.
I think he's like a pamper type dude. But I
think he bosses the people around that that duea one
of those.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
Yeah. I think he like you missed a spot over there,
he's the foreman. Yeah he is. He seems like he's
got that.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah, Pete Prisco, can you confirm or deny?

Speaker 8 (30:29):
Okay, first off, I will never boss anybody that does
any work around me. Ever, no VARs for one on
that one.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
You boss people around all the time. I don't believe you.
What makes you don't?

Speaker 8 (30:45):
But I respect the people who do the work.

Speaker 5 (30:47):
Doesn't mean you don't respect him, you just but I
would never.

Speaker 8 (30:51):
I would never boss around. Don't boss him around.

Speaker 6 (30:53):
I just don't like you've never bossed around a producer
at CBS Sports HQ.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
No oh wow, okay, okay.

Speaker 8 (31:05):
By the way, by the way, just like I will
never send the meal back at a restaurant, I just
won't go back. That's that's why I handle.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
That's how I roll to Pete on meals. I won't
if the service is bad, I won't go back. If
the food is bad, I won't go back.

Speaker 6 (31:20):
I'm gonna I'm gonna reach out to Noah and Jack
today just to get there side.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
Of the story.

Speaker 8 (31:25):
I don't believe me. They love me, so I don't
know what you're talking about.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
I love you, yeah, but do get you like a
bossy dude, Pete like.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
Turned in touch your toes.

Speaker 8 (31:40):
And then the other one, then the other one. As
far as a handyman, as far as a handyman, LaVar
absolutely not.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
Okay, all right, you don't walk around with like a
tool belt on, Pete.

Speaker 8 (31:54):
Like, well, no, I don't know how to I don't
know how to put anything together nothing zero.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
So, uh, Pete, I guess we'll just start, you know,
we'll start backwards. We'll just we'll just whirl our way
from the late game all the way to the early games.
What the hell is going on with the Baltimore Ravens
like this? This feels like it's not just a well
they're they're in a little bit of a rough stretch.

(32:21):
This just feels like a like a team that's not
very good and totally underperforming this year.

Speaker 8 (32:27):
Well they haven't. They've had a lot of injuries, you know,
quarterback being first and foremost, but they and they just
haven't played as well. And guys haven't played as well.
I mean Marlon Humphrey and ro Qwan Smith had started
out really poorly and it came on and but he
didn't play the entire season all that. Well, guys haven't
played up to the expectations. Uh, and that's hurt them.

(32:48):
Injuries have hurt them. And I think you're right, I
think they're you know, we kept saying, oh, boy, they're
gonna get on a little run and nobody's going to
want to play them in the playoffs.

Speaker 7 (32:56):
I think we can put that notion to bed.

Speaker 8 (32:58):
I think are done and I really believe that even
if they got into the playoffs, I don't see them
being a threat. And Lamar can't move. I mean he
doesn't move. He doesn't move like he did before his
hamstring injury, and that's a big part of what he
is as a quarterback. So I just think the whole
season kind of fell flat and I think they're done.

Speaker 6 (33:17):
Yeah, it's hard to feel confident about what they're going
to be here in the final weeks. Either way, one
team we should be confident. I don't know why we
haven't been. Maybe we felt like this was a proven
game for them. But you're Jacksonville Jaguars, Pete.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
I mean, are they not one of the best teams
in the AFC?

Speaker 6 (33:33):
Trevor Lawrence playing great, Liam Cole maybe up for Coach
of the Year.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Tried to tell you, Pete, you tried to.

Speaker 7 (33:41):
Look.

Speaker 8 (33:41):
The bottom line is they're playing the no respect card,
and rightfully so. But I don't think that really matters
once you get on the field. Anyways, but they're good.
I mean he, I mean the coach is really good
and really a good play caller. Those kind of scheme
stuff opened and Trevor Lawrence is taking his game to
the next level, and quite frankly, he needed to. I mean,

(34:02):
for the first five games, six games of the season,
he wasn't very good. He was pressing, he wasn't throwing
the ball down the field. He was passing on shots
down the field. The receivers are dropping balls, and the
offensive line went very good. Well, all of a sudden,
now he's taking those shots down the field. He's much
more comfortable. The receivers are catching the ball and the
offensive line. On Sunday, they gave up five sacks. Two

(34:24):
of them came on the first drive and one of
them was because he held the ball. But the reality
is for they held their own against that that vaunted
defensive line. Nick Benito, by the way, was swallowed whole
by a guy named cole Van Lannon who's now their
starting left tackle and his emergence one of the best
offensive lineman on that team and maybe one of the
best left tackles in the league the last three games,

(34:45):
So kudos to kudos to Liam Combe, but really did
Trevor Larch because he's really helped develop himself into a
you know what he we all thought he could be.
Let's be real, before the five games ago, six games ago,
everybody in the league was calling him a BUF and
now they're talking about him maybe taking that team to
a super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
Mike Rabel is gooning it out as the head coach
of his former team, the New England Patriots. They look
like they could actually make a run for the Super Bowl.
I mean when you look at these teams, Pete, what
team jumps out at you where you say the coach
because obviously what's going on in Jacksonville, but what's taking

(35:26):
place in New England. We see what's going on with
Jonas's team in Chicago. What team are you looking at
where you're like, wow, man, Like this coach did the
best job, the finest job of a coach coaching in
the league this year.

Speaker 7 (35:40):
Kyleahan, Oh, go on, go on.

Speaker 8 (35:44):
I mean, Kyle Shanahan has never been Coach of the
Year in the NFL ever and this coaching job and
look tonight's another step in that direction. They're already in
the playoffs. The fact that that team is in the
playoffs in that division is just amazing. I mean, they
lose their two star warts on defense, the guys that
make it go and Fred Warner and Nick Bosa.

Speaker 7 (36:07):
You play without your quarterback.

Speaker 8 (36:08):
A bunch of the season, you had a bunch of
other injuries as well, particularly at the receiver spot, and
here they are with a chance to win thirteen games.
I mean, that's incredible, and so I don't think he
deserves the credit. He doesn't get the credit he deserves
for being in the Coach of the Year conversation for
a team that has been banged up and really been

(36:28):
impacted by the injury.

Speaker 7 (36:29):
Bug all year.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
Pete Prisco joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, Senior
NFL columns for CBS Sports, CBS Sports HQ analysts. You
can get him on x at Prisco CBS. A team
that you were high on that I think a lot
of people were high on and just assumed it was
a foregone conclusion going into the season that they were
going to win their division was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
And I don't know what has happened the last two

(36:54):
months or what Todd Bowles thought he was accomplishing by
calling his team out the last game, but it didn't work.
How surprised are you at where Tampa Bay's at with
two games left in the season.

Speaker 7 (37:07):
Very But I think the injury.

Speaker 8 (37:08):
There's another team that says been decimated by injuries. But
here's the thing. You get all those guys back on offense,
and everybody's back at wide receiver and aside from the
right guard, they're back on the offensive line, although the
left guard's not there either, but the two guards aren't there.
But you're relatively healthy on offense, and they're not scoring points.
They're not moving the football. And Baker Mayfield isn't playing

(37:30):
very well right now, and he got hurt a while ago.
I'm not sure how if he's still hurt. He's not
saying anything, but he's not playing the same kind of
quarterback he was early in the season. And defensively, they're
not very good, I don't think, and they can't rush
the passer, they don't get after the quarterback. Losing Kanty
in the beginning of the season was just enormous for
them on the defensive front. Bevitavea looks heavy to me,

(37:52):
like he's not the same player he was earlier in
the season, and then the.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Linebacker he's eating.

Speaker 5 (38:02):
You've been eating big bone out there.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
Fatcha vita vana.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
He's overweight, He's just not falling to the ground the
same way he does like this.

Speaker 5 (38:12):
How do you judge that the way he looks like
on TV it was pounds.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
It was the way he went over that player and
fell on his heinee on that one player. I know
exactly what you're talking about, Pete. You came to the
conclusion he's over he's overweight.

Speaker 8 (38:25):
Don't put on the you think he's overweight, lebar No, I'm.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
Just I was just co signing you that I was
being supportive of you, that's all.

Speaker 8 (38:32):
I just don't think he's played as well, and I
think when he has a tendency to get too heavy,
he doesn't players.

Speaker 5 (38:37):
Well, it is the holidays, you know it's the holidays.

Speaker 8 (38:41):
Well, and by the way, and you guys know you
played the league offensive. The defensive lineman have weigh in,
but early in the season, their bodies, their body changes
throughout the season, they're not lifting like they did before
the season and everything else. You know that they're like
you go, go, go from That's why they called fatball season,
I mean higher season. The opposive and defensive lineman their

(39:03):
bodies they might make way in, but their bodies aren't
the same. Look at him and he looks He looks
heavy to me, and he's.

Speaker 7 (39:08):
Not playing as good.

Speaker 8 (39:10):
And by the way, it's tought that game meant nothing
yesterday when you really look at it, though, take a
look at that, take a look at it.

Speaker 7 (39:18):
It meant not.

Speaker 5 (39:18):
I mean it would take a look at it. It
met something for Carolina.

Speaker 8 (39:21):
Huh what No, But it's it's Tampa wins against Miami
and then win beat Carolina, they win the division. So
technically that game meant nothing.

Speaker 6 (39:30):
Well okay, but it meant someone for Carolina to stay
in it.

Speaker 7 (39:34):
That would have still been in it anyways if they
won and then they beat him in the last same
of the season.

Speaker 8 (39:38):
So it doesn't really matter if the game doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (39:41):
Wait, yeah, they have the best record in the division.

Speaker 5 (39:45):
What's that do The Saints have the best record in
the NFC South?

Speaker 7 (39:50):
I mean against each other?

Speaker 5 (39:51):
You mean, well, yeah, the NFC South the best in
the division.

Speaker 8 (39:55):
The things have played good football. By the way, they
have their quarterback, Brady, That kid's good.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
Tyler Shucks played well.

Speaker 8 (40:01):
Yeah, and you know what, Kellen Moore is another coach
that doesn't get the do he deserves keeping that team
around me. They're old in a lot of spots, they're
starting a rookie quarterback, and they're playing competitive football. And
granted the Jets stink, but Tyler Shuck looked good on
Sunday and I think that's a good step, right direction
for him.

Speaker 6 (40:20):
So I was going to ask you about that game specifically,
but more about the Jets.

Speaker 5 (40:24):
They're three and twelve right now.

Speaker 6 (40:26):
It feels like that's you know, that's a cruise ship
and destination and nowhere.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
Do you think Aaron Glenn could be one and done?

Speaker 8 (40:36):
Could it happen? Yes?

Speaker 7 (40:37):
I don't think it's going to happen though, I just don't.
I think.

Speaker 8 (40:41):
I mean, that roster is bad, so how do you
put that at on him? But he will be on
very very thin ice next.

Speaker 5 (40:49):
Year's even competitive though, Pete.

Speaker 8 (40:52):
I'm with you, Brady, I'm with you.

Speaker 6 (40:55):
I hear rumors from people that say he just seems overwhelmed,
like it just it's seems like he's not ready for
this job.

Speaker 5 (41:02):
The first one.

Speaker 8 (41:03):
Well, I also think you know you already fired the
defensive coordinator if you lay to him out for that one.
And then you know the offensive coordinator is supposedly a
really good coach, and but he doesn't have that great
feel for the play calling yet. And so I think,
you know, the staff he hired man have something to
do with it too. So I do think I think
he's coming back. Now I don't know that one hundred percent,

(41:24):
but I do think he's coming back.

Speaker 7 (41:26):
But I tend to.

Speaker 10 (41:26):
Agree with you.

Speaker 7 (41:27):
I think he's It just looks overwhelming to him.

Speaker 8 (41:31):
And they don't compete.

Speaker 7 (41:32):
I mean the last two weeks.

Speaker 8 (41:33):
That's not a good sign.

Speaker 7 (41:34):
When you don't.

Speaker 8 (41:35):
Compete at all against two teams in Jacksonville and New
Orleans that you should You thought you should be able
to compete against.

Speaker 6 (41:41):
What about Dallasts are three and two in the division,
They're tied for the best record within the NFC South.

Speaker 7 (41:48):
Yeah, but what does that mean, Brady? What does that mean?

Speaker 5 (41:50):
I don't know. You tell me he's the one that
cares about.

Speaker 8 (41:52):
Divisions so much, it means nothing.

Speaker 5 (41:55):
You care about these divisions.

Speaker 8 (41:56):
It just got yesterday's game with Tampa and Carolina, and
the end it won't be anything either well.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
I mean, you're fat shaming people from the division. It
seemed like a pertinent question.

Speaker 8 (42:05):
I'm just saying he's not playing as well way.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
What about it? What about as.

Speaker 8 (42:10):
They want to be? But is an impact the way you're.

Speaker 10 (42:12):
Playing that's a problem.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
How expensive is his jersey? Might sub as well?

Speaker 4 (42:16):
Is Shanahan on his way out? I mean not Shanahan.
Is is Schottenheimer on his way out of Dallas?

Speaker 10 (42:22):
No?

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Okay, I mean is he a one? Is he a
one and done? I think that's a legitimate question.

Speaker 8 (42:30):
I mean, you know what, it was even more of
a legitimate question. He said, Dan asked you your commander's
coaches on his way.

Speaker 5 (42:36):
Dan Quinn might make more sense, not why should make more?
Actually competitive? Competitive?

Speaker 8 (42:44):
I don't think the Cowboys he's done a good.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Job with the They're the best losing team in the league.
I don't think that qualifies as their competitive. They're the
best losing team in the league.

Speaker 6 (42:59):
This is because I said something about Aaron Glenn LaVar
is trying to stick up for Aaron.

Speaker 5 (43:04):
That has nothing to do with anything.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
I was just thinking of coaching, and I brought up
Harball earlier for Baltimore. I mean, I'm not I'm looking
at all kinds of different coaches that could be on
their There.

Speaker 5 (43:16):
Ye many black coaches, Quinn. There's not very many black
coaches out there.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
And for what is worth talk about an easy layup
of talking about a bad team.

Speaker 5 (43:31):
Hell yeah, yeah, that's not racial. In New York. They
both their teams stink.

Speaker 8 (43:37):
I don't think. I don't think. I don't think Schottenheimer
is close to being on the hot seat. And to
be honest with you, I don't think Quinn is either.
But if you had to pick one or the other
one would be on the hotter seat, you would say
Quinn would be would you.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
No, I would say I would say Schottenheimer because the
owner of the franchise said this was an all in year.
You got rid of a coach, you got rid of
of a player, and you said this was an all
in year, and this is what you got.

Speaker 5 (44:05):
What are you?

Speaker 3 (44:05):
Third?

Speaker 5 (44:06):
Third in the division? Second? Second, and it's actually have
the best record in the division, the.

Speaker 8 (44:12):
Second they have the second, their second in the division.
And Washington, Washington that went to the championship game last year,
is third.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
And they won't even be in the They won't even
be in the playoffs. They won't make the playoffs. I
don't care about a winning percentage. And they're this, they're
not good.

Speaker 8 (44:30):
From the playoffs. They're limited for.

Speaker 5 (44:32):
They're not good. They're not good. And all in year
you know.

Speaker 4 (44:35):
Where they got eight and they got his first year,
they got better without Michael Parsons, you know.

Speaker 8 (44:41):
His first he did his first year.

Speaker 5 (44:43):
Oh that's we should use that excuse for everybody. You
know how many first year coaches have gotten fired over
the last years.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
Peter does feel like peek your namesake, Pete Carroll is
maybe he should be added there too.

Speaker 7 (44:56):
He should be.

Speaker 8 (44:57):
But do you think do you think they're gonna they
pay They paying Gruten still, they're paying McDaniel still, They're
playing Antonio Pierce.

Speaker 7 (45:03):
Still.

Speaker 8 (45:04):
You think that organization is.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
Gonna probably Kelly is still too, you know.

Speaker 8 (45:08):
Yeah, they're not going to pay guys that. I don't
think they're gonna get rid of Pete Carroll. But if anything,
that team's.

Speaker 4 (45:15):
He's the one that owns it the most. It sounds
like he's probably not gonna He's not. He owns it
the most for certain.

Speaker 6 (45:22):
Yeah, I mean they got rid of they got rid
of Chip Kelly. The offense looks verbat him like what
it did in Seattle. And yeah, they gave Chip Kelly
all the.

Speaker 4 (45:29):
Blame, right, I mean, and Seattle is really good this year,
by the way, really good.

Speaker 8 (45:38):
They made a bad decision at quarterback because Chino is
a very good either.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
You are what you are, Pete, you are?

Speaker 8 (45:46):
It always worked out that way, doesn't it.

Speaker 6 (45:48):
I Mean, all I know, Pete is Kirk Cousins won
a game this past week.

Speaker 5 (45:51):
So take that.

Speaker 7 (45:53):
You did the game.

Speaker 8 (45:54):
He was performing for you.

Speaker 5 (45:57):
He was performing for Q.

Speaker 7 (46:00):
Loved him so much.

Speaker 8 (46:00):
He's taking up for him so many times that Kirk
went out there and played and.

Speaker 6 (46:04):
He shoved it right back in your face. I talked
to him and said, you tell that Pete prisco to
take a seat.

Speaker 8 (46:09):
He didn't look great.

Speaker 5 (46:10):
Sits your ass down, Pete Priscoe.

Speaker 7 (46:11):
So hey, by the way, he didn't look great on
Sunday either.

Speaker 4 (46:15):
In that game, well, they wanted to lose it. They
just they got off to a really slow start.

Speaker 8 (46:21):
You know, they looked off bar in that game. And
and b John Robinson, man, he meant he's.

Speaker 10 (46:26):
So good, right, I mean, but now the Cardinals, the
Cardinals are shell themselves though. With that defense, everybody's hurt.
I mean it's crazy. And then there's Nolan and.

Speaker 8 (46:36):
And sweat the sweat getting legitimately hurt Brady or did
he just like check out and go to Cabo.

Speaker 5 (46:43):
No, No, he got hurt. He got hurt. I mean
he got legitimately hurt. Walter. Nolan's injury is pretty serious.

Speaker 10 (46:50):
Yeah, that looks that was bad.

Speaker 5 (46:52):
But by the way it was getting looked at the
time of.

Speaker 8 (46:54):
The year, when you know that this is the time
of the year when guys, uh.

Speaker 5 (46:58):
When guys tissue, they get the south tissue injuries.

Speaker 8 (47:01):
Yeah, I didn't got my care if I'm going to
Cabo and I'm going.

Speaker 5 (47:05):
To Bermuda, that pete pete. Where the where do the
West coast teams go?

Speaker 8 (47:10):
The West coast teams go to Cabo, the teams in
the midwest go to King Ku, and the teams up
in the northeast go to Bermuda, and the teams in
the southeast they had down to Aruba. And it's like
you know that Coaka song Aruba Jamaica I wanted.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
Yeah, the groupers is off the chain.

Speaker 8 (47:28):
Yeah, that's what the that's that's the song that's being
sung all over the league right now.

Speaker 7 (47:33):
That's what that is.

Speaker 5 (47:33):
Who goes to Jamaica, Pete.

Speaker 8 (47:36):
You get the southern to the southern Southeast teams go
to Jamaica. So like the Dolphs, the Dolphins, if they
want to get a quick getaway away.

Speaker 4 (47:43):
From the South to the Bahamas, the Bahamas or Jamaica,
Bahamas or Jamaica, or you know, if you want to
go a little longer, you go down to Aruba nor Maria.

Speaker 8 (47:52):
They're all looking, they're all looking, you know this time
of the year.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
Look, have you been to Bermuda before.

Speaker 8 (47:57):
Pete, I've never been to Bermuda.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
Oh my gosh, bro what a hit and gym that is.
They gotta They got a beach there. Literally, it's a
pink sand beach and the sand feels like baby powder.

Speaker 5 (48:09):
Were you not worried about getting lost in the whole
triangle situation?

Speaker 4 (48:12):
No, And they showed you where where it is. It's
so underwhelming, apparently, it's kind of like what what uh?

Speaker 5 (48:20):
The President's on.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
The head Mount Rushmore looks like it's not It's very underwhelming.

Speaker 5 (48:25):
When you see.

Speaker 8 (48:25):
It is in the ocean, it starts at it works
its way it's a big triangle.

Speaker 4 (48:31):
Yeah yeah, but they show you, like where the point.
They show you the point in Bermuda where supposedly where
it starts, and it's like it goes under a bridge.
It's kind of interesting the story of it, but it was.
It's just where I think, if I recall it correctly,
the way they were explaining it is just the way
your your signals get all jammed up and stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (48:50):
And what is that? I don't know.

Speaker 8 (48:52):
Hey, by the way, how many times during this during
your career, Lehart, did you go to Bermuda and week
fifteen in your mind?

Speaker 4 (48:58):
Hey, let me tell you something out of a seven
year career. Five yeah, fight, yep.

Speaker 8 (49:13):
We gotta start playing it. We gotta start playing that song.
It's that time of the year, Peena.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
I just wanted to congratulate you. Your guy Kenny Dillingham's
back and he's asking for money.

Speaker 5 (49:23):
So did she ask you what?

Speaker 8 (49:29):
By the way, I am just in talking to people
that I know that have involved with that, Ni L
and Brady, you're involved with another guy. I still can't
believe the amount of money that.

Speaker 7 (49:40):
We're paying these kids these days.

Speaker 8 (49:42):
It's incredible. Somebody was telling me the other day that
a corner on a team and nickel corner got two
fifty last year and he's bitching and moaning about getting
he wants a million and says he's.

Speaker 7 (49:54):
Gonna pedal himself away.

Speaker 8 (49:56):
Are we serious with this? Are we serious?

Speaker 5 (50:00):
If God is a nickel corner?

Speaker 8 (50:02):
Yeah, God blessed, God, blessed the kids forgetting the money.
But come on, we're way out of control. It's just
out of control.

Speaker 5 (50:10):
Well, what do you think he just? What do you
think he just?

Speaker 3 (50:12):
If two fifty is too much?

Speaker 5 (50:14):
What do you think he deserves?

Speaker 8 (50:15):
I don't know who he is, but I'm just saying that. Okay,
let's just go take a right tackle Brady, a starting
right tackle at a big school, a power school.

Speaker 7 (50:26):
Million.

Speaker 8 (50:27):
No.

Speaker 6 (50:27):
I mean, if he's like a top whatever going to
be draft picked, maybe he's flirting with that. But I'd
say somewhere around half a million up to you know,
seven hundred eight hundred.

Speaker 8 (50:38):
So your roster as a whole is forty to fifty million,
Is that correct?

Speaker 6 (50:42):
Well, you're getting a rep share, so you have the
piece of that it's coming from the school, and then
you have the collective on top of it.

Speaker 5 (50:48):
So one no, not every player is.

Speaker 6 (50:51):
Getting eight hundred thousand dollars, right, maybe both your tackles.

Speaker 8 (50:54):
So how much a Notre Dame pay there? You know
how much a Notre Dame pay the.

Speaker 7 (50:58):
Players last year?

Speaker 5 (51:01):
I want to say somewhere in the mid mid high teens.

Speaker 8 (51:05):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
Well, yeah, I mean Ohio State because hold on, pete,
we didn't have the REB share though, no wonder whether
or not.

Speaker 6 (51:13):
Geez, no, no, pete, pete, they didn't have they didn't
have the REV share. Ohio State paid about like twenty million,
so they weren't that far off, Pete, pete. Listen, you're
talking about this season. So this season, if everyone's getting
twenty and a half million, then you throw on another
what twenty thirty million that Texas Tech, for example, spent,

(51:34):
But like Notre Dames in a similar category in that sense,
like they're getting the twenty and a half for whatever
it is, million, they're diving up plus the collective money
on top of that, which is again a higher, much
higher number than that.

Speaker 7 (51:44):
So they're paying fifty million.

Speaker 6 (51:45):
Then yeah, I would say most of those bigger schools
are somewhere north of forty million.

Speaker 5 (51:51):
If you want to be competitive, Texas Tech is probably fifty.

Speaker 8 (51:54):
It's incredible to me. It's a can and there's no
but whatever the hell he wants to yes.

Speaker 6 (52:02):
But here's the thing that's funny is like people like
you will sit there and they go, oh, it's ridiculous
how many NFL players aren't actually on one year contracts
with every NFL team almost the majority. And I'm not
saying that because the actual structure and the term. I'm
saying that because you and I both know there's no
guarantees probably after the first year, with the exception of
like cornerstones like a left tackle, a quarterback, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (52:25):
Right, So, like, I don't really look at it.

Speaker 6 (52:28):
As crazy outside of the fact that it can be
as transient as it is. But most schools, if they
really value the kid, they're not letting them go. They're
gonna pay them what most likely is market value.

Speaker 5 (52:39):
That's how it works.

Speaker 6 (52:40):
You and fifty million, hold on fifty million for you know,
a starting offense defense you know in some depth behind
that is not even close to what you're talking about
a salary cap for the NFL.

Speaker 5 (52:53):
They're still grossly underpaid.

Speaker 6 (52:54):
Like the number you're talking about right now, You think
you think this number is not gonna keep climbing, You're
out of your.

Speaker 8 (53:00):
Oh, I agree that. I agree it does, Bret. But
there's gotta be some some guardrails put in place.

Speaker 5 (53:05):
I just think I agree with that.

Speaker 6 (53:07):
I don't believe that all these kids should be able
to every single years be like yep, I'm resigning like
Southern cal announcing them resigning guys every year.

Speaker 8 (53:15):
Going here and going here and going there. I mean, yeah,
I just I think that's bad for the game.

Speaker 7 (53:19):
I think it's I think it's.

Speaker 5 (53:22):
But what's bad.

Speaker 6 (53:23):
Look, look, what's bad for a SU is the fact
that they have a cheap alumni like you that won't
actually donate money to help out. You've distracted us from
the original question. And up you donate to Kenny doing And.

Speaker 8 (53:36):
I paid when I went to school.

Speaker 7 (53:37):
I ain't paying anymore. I'm done.

Speaker 5 (53:41):
You didn't You didn't even pay that much. What told
me what your toestion was?

Speaker 8 (53:44):
It was it was cheap back in the day, but.

Speaker 5 (53:46):
It was seventy bucks and a ham sandwich.

Speaker 4 (53:48):
Let me just ask you this, curious, what about what the.
