Speaker 5 (02:03):
Guys like to welcome to the show. One of the
best friends of the Petro Some Money show. A guy
who needs no introduction, but we bring him on anyways
because he's one of the best NFL analysts out there.
He's preparing for the NFL Draft, and when you watch
the NFL Draft on NFL Network, he is the best insider.
He tells you how it is, He breaks down the
guys like no other. He knows all the players, whether
(02:26):
you know him or not. He knows what I know.
He's a Padre super fan. I know he's our best friend.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
We missed him last hour because he was listening to
Greg Olsen. Greg Olsen was crying on his shoulder.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
About the tenth article posted this week about Greg Olsen
listening to Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
And poor Greg Olsen doesn't. He has to watch the
playoffs from his house and he's and that's what Daniel
was doing.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
He had to escape.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
He's finally come through in Mobile Live from Mobile, Alabama,
joining us on your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline.
Our God is indeed an awesome god. He has delivered
exactly right. I just delivered Daniel Jeremiah fantastic in the
arms of the Seraphim and Cherubim. And here he is,
(03:13):
fresh off talking Greg off the ledge. It's Daniel Jeremiah
on the patch of somebody show Le's crag a DJ.
How are you thanks for doing it?
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Coming great boys.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
I'll be honest, I thought he was you, guys, said
Kuiper on the show until he said Pottery fan. I'm like,
oh ope, that's me and then uh and then just
so you know, last night. I turned my top fifty
before practice this morning, so I stayed up here in
Mobile till two thirty, got up.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
At thirty, Yeah look at you.
Speaker 7 (03:39):
Then went did a couple practices, kind of an all
day a third no big deal, and then and then
had to knock out a podcast after that. Uh, and
then just got a chance to get a cheese case
of dia which money knows how that's gonna go down.
That was from the That was the free meal up
at the concierge lounge because I didn't feel like going out.
Was a little tired. And then I get home, Now
(04:01):
get back to my hotel room. And then I checked
my phone and I thought, oh, I've got like fourteen
text messages like maybe it's the wife and the kids
checking in seah, well dad and the hobby's doing it. Nope,
it's that Tim Kate's thirteen text messages like hey, can
you please come on the show?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Well, we missed on mccronin anyways, I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
We missed on Aaron Allen. You know you're out there
and mobile. You didn't want to bother you. You did
say there was a window. Now I got to be honest, Daniel,
like two or three Big twelve media days ago, or
the last year of the PAC twelve, that's what it was.
I was in Las Vegas and the Sanders thing wasn't
really a thing. I mean, they had just he got
(04:39):
the job in Chador and the safety son had transferred,
and I was sitting with somebody and they said, look
behind you, that's Schadere and I was like, okay, Like
I didn't even care, didn't realize it. I didn't know
what it was going to become. And now I regret
at resort world not turning around at least that's saying, well, okay,
(05:00):
he is. I didn't even look. I was that big
of an a hole.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
How how much of an eclipse of your time is
shad while you are in mobile?
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Well, he's he was at the East West So he
was at the at the East West Shrine Game Texas
this year. But the buzz.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
It hasn't been.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
It really hasn't been much.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
A no.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
But if for some for some reason that something goes wrong,
I'll just pretend we got disconnected and Matt will be
able to fill you in on what's taking place at
that point in time. But no, the you know, it's
interesting come down here because it's a whole league down here.
They're they're just not a lot of buzz at all
about the quarterback class period, and that you know, kind
(05:50):
of includes Schaduur and cam Ward and and and all
the guys we've got down here. And it leads me
to believe that I know, I know it didn't end
up the way that Stands dol would have liked. But
the Sam Donalds, the Justin Fields, they're gonna get opportunities.
And I think people might be surprised at you know,
obviously Sam's coming off a Pro bowl're he's gonna give
(06:10):
a ton of money. But even like you know that
that lower tier beneath him, guys that are available are
gonna have They're gonna have opportunities. So they just don't
get the sense that there's a lot of excitement about
the quarterback group.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Like excitement around a quarterback group, you know. To interpret
it for me, DJ is multiple teams trying to trade
up quarterbacks going one and two or one h three.
Is are you talking like your money yeah? Right, six
in the top twelve. Are you talking about like Shador
could could slide like mid first round because you haven't
(06:40):
penned in or penciled into the Raiders in your first
mock draft, and I think that's got a lot of
Raider fans excited. Could you see that being a logical
marriage or or maybe is that too high, too rich
for shador No?
Speaker 7 (06:53):
I mean I look, I put out the top fifty
today and I had cam Ward at ten and Shadoor
at eleven, So that's what I had those guys. It's
kind of a weird draft that way, Like there's a
really really strong middle class, not a lot of top,
top tier guys, you know, compared to some of the
previous years that we've had. So it wouldn't be a
huge reach for him to go at that point time
where the Raiders are and there's just not enough to
(07:16):
go around, you know, with the with these veteran pieces,
somebody's going to get Sam, you know, if they decide
to stay with JJ McCarthy and proceed with him in
Minnesota and let Sam go, Sam's gonna take one of
those starting jobs. I think Fields will get one. I
think Kirk Cousins will get one. So those are you know,
those there's not enough of those guys with all these
different teams and meeting quarterbacks. So it happens all the time,
(07:38):
where you know, draft kids that you maybe you like
but you don't love, and then you you miss out
on some free agent opportunities, and then that love starts
to grow a little bit as we get towards the draft.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
What do you mean there's no buzz? How could cam
Ward be a generational player without any buts? Daniel Jeremiah
jous right now bye?
Speaker 7 (07:57):
By the way, what if you're going to say, like
that's a good segment, like sports phrases that need to
be retired generational, Yeah, that's probably one of them. What
about goat, Yeah, we can put that one to bed.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
What about top five, top bowie?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
I think pretty much any if? I think pretty much
any if question is is worse thing?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
My mom had a mustache, Daniel h and she'd be Greek.
You know what? What I don't appreciate that there's a
lot of women with facial hair in Greece and there's
not much they can do about it. They don't have
that kind of zapping equipment in the villagers.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Mad you don't know what it's like.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
By the way, By the way, Pete Pete we had
a we were at dinner. This is when, you know,
and I can't imagine as long as you guys have
been together, but with these these long plane rides together
and just being in these hotels and these charger trips
over the last seven eight years. And then one night
we were literally at dinner and we just started. We
(09:01):
got a conversation of all of Matt's lifelong Greek friends.
He was I had no idea Matt has said like
literally Greeks in his life since he was a toddler.
And he told me the stories of every Greek he's
ever known in his entire This is our dinner. That
was the whole conversation with just Matt's Greek friends entertaining.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, that's why whenever I see him he rubs himself
up on a goat.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
He rubbed off on uh Daniel. You know, there's a
local guy that I got really impressed with watching the
season unfold and he kind of came out of nowhere. Sweesssinger. Swessinger,
that quarnerback at the linebacker, the big long linebacker from
UC And I tell me that guy's gonna get drafted.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Oh my, he's my top fifty yeah, all right, all right,
see if money, see if money can figure this out,
because he can get it.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
Climb ins on my head a little bit. So think
about linebackers that we've been around, and we've seen white
linebacker former safety who and really really run?
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Uh So, who would I comp him to?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Former safety? You're not asking me a white linebacker who
can really really run? Damn it, I'm I'm blaming.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
I might have played, might have played for the Chargers
for a little bit. Let's be playing.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
There you go, that's my comp Tranquil.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Isn't he taller though? And more violent? And from opes Christian?
They're both Christians.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
See, there you go, There you go, they are both Christians.
There that's the comp.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
He's a great looking player. I mean, what is the
big the big boon this year's draft. I mean, if
it's not quarterbacks, I mean running backs are cool again
with seknk Kwan Barkley and and Genty's gonna get some run,
I'm sure. I mean, who is the guy if we're
not talking quarterbacks?
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Well, Abdol Carter is the best player in the draft,
and he's part of the best position group in the draft.
I've got sixteen of my top fifty players. And it's
early in the process, but sixteen of the top fifty
are D lineman and down here in Mobile there's a
bunch of good ones. You know, Walter Nolan's the DP
is uh is someone who's been money. He's been taking
(11:08):
some kids to school this week. Uh down here and
uh he say he's made it look easy with the
way he's Uh, he's competed, So he's gonna be a
first round pick. There's a bunch of D lineman, a
bunch of edge rushers, there's tight ends, there's running backs.
It's uh, it's a little light obviously at receiver, it's
light at quarterback. So just kind of the that's the
year we've got.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I know, it's not the Pac twelve anymore. It was
the Big twelve. But but everybody loves Skataboo. They love
the story about Scataboo. What what is I know it's
you know, not first round, but like is he Day
two guy? Like where is is he?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Like?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
What do you think of his prospects as an NFL player?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Well?
Speaker 7 (11:47):
I watched him. I hadn't done a ton of running backs,
and I just gave him a grade that I would give,
you know, just off of visibility, and that grade would
be like kind of like a third round grade. And
I think he's a you know, it's he's a third
round talent, a third round player. Unfortunately for him, this
draft is so deep at running back that I think
that could push him beyond the third round, just because
(12:08):
the sheer numbers of guys we have. It's it's one
of the deepest groups that I've seen in the a
little over twenty years I've been doing it, so that
that could that could cause him to slip a little bit.
But I know he's not as tall as James Connor,
but man, he's he reminds me so much of him,
just with this tenacity and how competitive he is as
a runner. He's just he's a really fun player to watch,
for sure. And every time I hear his name, I
(12:31):
think of a Uh, you guys remember the True Food?
Was it the Foo Schnickings? Oh yeah, I am the
true What I am a true fo schnick I think
of Scataboy. I don't know, why doesn't he really rhyme
or make sense? It chops into my head.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Nothing like the f schnakens could really twist a rhyme
back of the day. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
The great if they were white, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
If they were they were black.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Whit they were black, they might not have had no idea.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
They probably didn't have the street crowd of some of
your other rap groups. But they serve me. We're black
men snickings. If you're working uh Cam's scatboy is going
to be hurt by his tater tot legs. That's what
kept cats from being drafted, and it's what's knocking Scataboo
down around a little sawed off just like your boy, Tranquil.
(13:19):
I love a saw off call. There's nothing like it. Well, Daniel,
I mean, I don't want to keep you any longer.
I feel guilty that we waked you from.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
The longer we keep him, the longer he doesn't sink
his teeth into that case a diylla, and that's going to.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Save him the needle and the damage done already there.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
The battle belongs to the Lord.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
The battle belongs to the lord hands.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I don't want to I don't want to be labor anything.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Daniel.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
You've given us great information.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So you're asked about the coaches everybody's ranking coaching highers.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, what's your favorite coaches favor I bet it's that
old hunched over, gum chewing fool up in the Northwest.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
That's pretty good. By the way, did you did you
guys ever play the clip of spy Tech saying talking
about his high school coach at the press conference.

Thank you DJ, the DJ what appreciate your see you guys.
But now you know, now here we are in a
traffic jam. Now we're doubled up with Sam Farmer. We're
going to NFL all and up twice. Yeah, now that's
just you know, we're like a box car Bertha giant
traffic jam here worth it though, you know, let's the
people know we got friends, Okay, people like us. They
(17:05):
don't ghost us. We send them texts and they respond.
Think of what they would have thought of us. We
send out Eric Allen, Daniel Jeremiah. One of us started choking.
Somebody performed the Heimlich. The person was safe, but we
called six ambulance companies. Six ambulances showed up outside, like hey,
(17:28):
you guys need some help. We're like, oh, I'm a
butt dial, I'll take you first Bowers. So we'll be
right back with Sam Farmer also known as Ram Farmer.
No play by play tonight, full four hour show. Tomorrow
(17:51):
it'll be a short one two to four PMS Clippers Spurs,
and then Saturday we got Dodger Fest as your home
of the world Champion Dodgers. Dave Assa going to be
out of Dodger Stadium from noon to three right here
on AM five seventy continuation of the celebration of the
World Series Championship. And look forward to twenty twenty five
(18:11):
extendo celebration.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
And you know what about the celebration for this guy.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
We take it for granted now that's true, but there
was a very pivotable voice, not pitiful, pivotal voice here
in southern California that helped bring the NFL back, whether
it was a hacienda in Carson.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Farmers Field downtown, Oh, I was at that one. Many
machinations and Sam Farmer, he did it. He brought the
NFL back to Los Angeles single handedly. Works for the
La Times, a legendary rider coast to coast, but he
(18:56):
happens to be ours here in town, joining us on
your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline. It is the
cultivator of content himself, spreading his manure and growing great stories.
Sam Farmer on The Peterson Money Show. What's Cracking? Sam?
Welcome to the show. Happy new Year.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
How you know? And Buddy, I'm good, I've got I was.
I was pivotal and pitiful.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, it was pitiful when when those deals would fall through.
But looking back, pivotal now because the NFL is here
in LA. They use l A. They love coming to
LA for their big games and and the broadcast cruise
and the whole thing. Uh, it's been a pretty big success,
wouldn't you say?
Speaker 8 (19:44):
Yeah, huge success. The league is really happy. I mean
they were in the second Super Bowl. The first Super
Bowl was great. Here was a huge success. And then
now they're getting another one in a couple of years.
It's going to be it's gonna be great. So I
think the league's really happy. You know, they've rams have
(20:06):
gotten some tracting chargers now with Harbaugh, you know, ended
up a lot of interests and Herbert, and I think's
going back as well as as a league can.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Open that second Super Bowl here, Sam Will, Will, Patrick
Mahomes and the Chiefs be in that one too. What
put this into context, It's this ridiculous run that this
team is on.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Yeah, it's it's amazing. And you think they were eleven
or zero in one score games. I think they've won
their last sixteen one score games. And so they just
have that that killer instinct that so many teams lack.
And and we've seen teams that have lacked that inability
to close the deal. And the you know, Kansas City
(20:56):
has just gotten better at it. Now they've got a
good defense to go with the with the offense, you know,
I mean offensively, they weren't great this year, but they
were good enough. And uh and that's you know, Mahomes
is such a difference maker. It's it's remarkable. Does that
I was just talking to I was talking to Bill Dwyer,
(21:19):
State Senator, Yeah, exactly. We were talking about three peats
and how nobody's repeated in the in NFL history, at
least with super Bowls. And he did remind me that
the Packers won the NFL championship in sixty five before
winning the Super Bowl two times in a row, so
(21:41):
they in fact did three peat, it just wasn't called
the Super Bowl. So yeah, but it's uh, you know,
that's Andy Reid l a guy, uh Glendelle College, Marshall
High School. You know, you got it. It's got to
at least be in the conversation as when you're talking
(22:04):
about the greatest coaches in NFL history.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
It is kind of interesting though, and you mentioned it
in your answer there, Sam, I mean, we think about
the Patriots. I mean, I can't go back like Dwyer
and tell you the real particulars of the bart Star teams,
but you talk about the Patriots and kind of when
when Tom Brady was first winning super bowls with them,
he was kind of a game manager style quarterback coming
(22:28):
in and spelling Drew Bledsoe. And then when Mahomes you know,
got started with the Chiefs, you know, he was running
around and throwing it all over the place to Tyreek
Hill and now they're more of a defensive team. That
seems like a real necessity if you're going to have
a dynasty. The team's identity kind of changes, even though
the some of the key personnel like quarterback stays the same.
Speaker 8 (22:51):
Yeah, that's right. You have to have that flexibility, And
obviously a lot of that goes to the coach and
his staff and holding guys together, staff together, and having
the key components stay together. Like you know, you've got Mahomes,
You've got Kelsey, You've got Chris Jones and some of
(23:12):
the guys who have been constant. You have to have
those tent pole players in a franchise and and not
switch out those guys and you can build around them.
And I think the season has done a really good
job of that. But you know, so much I think
as Mahomes and and his ability to win those close
(23:32):
games and figure out a way. And we saw it
the other night, I mean, and they this wasn't and
so you know, Speet could have lost four in a
row at one point this season, they had four really
close games. They didn't play very well but they want
us and there's something to be said for that teams
that can close things out, and I think that's what
(23:53):
the Chargers are looking for. And Justin Herbert, you know,
can you close the game out at the end of
a game and and sort of finished a game? And
so many people can't yet or haven't proven that they can.
Mahomes is already. And I talked to jim Nants about
this because I said, jim Nants is a constant who
(24:16):
covered all the all but maybe one of the Brady
Manning matchups, and then now he's done every every I
think maybe eight out of ten meetings between Mahomes and Allen,
and he said, you know, he can't really say this
is the He can't say this is Brady Manning two
point zero because Allen is not proven as great as
(24:39):
he is. He has not won that game, won that
big game. He's four and one against Mahomes in the
regular season, but he's zero and four in the postseason.
So you know, Joe Burrow wants to be it wants
it wants it to be Mahomes Burrow and or Mahomes Jackson,
Lamark Jackson or Mahomes Herbert in that's the second. That
(25:02):
second seat is still unclaimed, really, but Mahome's clearly just
button down that his half of it.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
A lot of people say, I'm excited about the potential
of it not being an Eagles victory but a Saquon
Barkley victory, the return of the running back and a punishing,
physical offense with a quarterback that didn't pass a lot
but relied on the brilliance of the best back in
the game. Is that an outlier? Is Saquon just that good?
(25:35):
Did you have that great of a year? Is it
that team and what he's running behind? Or do you
think maybe there is a bit of a shift coming?
And we just talked to Daniel Jeremia said it's going
to be an incredible running back draft this year. Do
you think maybe the pendulum swings a little bit?
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (25:51):
To me, it feels like an outlier, Like you've got
a great just a great back in the best offensive
line of football and holding line together. It's so difficult.
And you know, you could look at Detroit's line too
and say they've got a great line. But the Eagles
unquestionably have a great offensive line. And I think that
(26:13):
combination of outstanding back is having an unbelievable year. I mean,
I think you could say that in terms of a
singular year at any position. Uh, this is one of
the best years anybody's had, what Saqua's had. I mean,
just look what he did to the Rams and then
first Hutch against the Commanders. He goes sixty and he's
(26:37):
he's just incredible and rejuvenated and everything. I don't know
if there's gonna be some sort of seismic gift back. Yeah, okay,
there is, Yeah, for surely, Well, Mark, this is a
watershed moment in the NFL there.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Yeah, come on, Sam, pull your head out of your ear.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
You like how I reversed my field there?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Yeah, just like Marcus Allen and the Super Bowl when
backs rained. Sam Farmer a here the hero to the
people on the Petrols and Money show from the La Times.
You know, Sam, you've been around a long time. Not
that you're old, but you know, you do take a
lot of sunset photographs. You know, you appreciate the world
around you. You have a well, you have a perspective
(27:25):
on what's come and what's gone. And I mean Pete
Pete Carroll in Los Angeles was pretty interesting because he
literally had the LA media eating out of his hand.
You know, Lincoln Riley can't even figure out how to
outsmart you know, the twenty two year old beat rider
from the LA Times. But seriously, but but Pete Carroll
had the whole LA media eating out of his hand,
(27:47):
even after delivering crippling sanctions to USC on his watch
that are some of the worst in college football history.
And of course he had great success in Seattle, and
you know, everything runs its course. Do you think he'll
he'll be able to do that at this age, in
this modern time in the NFL, in what seems to
be a pretty volatile situation in Vegas.
Speaker 8 (28:12):
I think he's a good fit for Vegas. Whether you
can do that, I think a lot depends on if
you can get a quarterback, you get the right And
I don't think O'Connell is the guy necessarily, but I
think he'll be a welcome change in Seattle. And it
does feel like FIVEC is sort of the it's sort
(28:35):
of the the CM dynamic they hadn't in Seattle. You
know what he was able to do to Seattle Seahawks
rolling right in some of the changes he made early on.
I think it will work with the Raiders, and if
(28:58):
Mark Davis has his hands off, and I think Tom
Brady's sort of influence there will help, you know, I
can't say it's hard for me to imagine the Raiders
getting turned around, being a former Raiders beat writer and
knowing sort of the dynamics that go on there. But
if anybody's got to do it, I think Pete's got
(29:18):
a good shot of doing that. Super tough division. Obviously
Pete doesn't shy away from that in terms of you
look at the coaches across the board in that division
and the quarterbacks, and the Raiders have to get a quarterback.
But so in other words, I got no answer for you.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Copy there quarterback And then maybe last one for me, Sam,
you kind of alluded to it a couple times there
and talking about the Super Bowl. You had both teams
in town make the playoffs did not end how they
would like it. Certainly weather played a huge part and
what happened with the Rams there on those turnovers. But
Herbert throws three interceptions all year, throws four in that
(29:59):
one game. Like, how would you like, how would you
qualify the season this year? Quantify? I guess you would
qualify it and not quantify it for each of those teams.
You know, the Rams digging out of a one and
four hole but losing in the Division A round. The
Chargers going from five to twelve to eleven and six
but losing a wild card game a lot of people
thought they would win.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
Yeah, it feels like Harbaugh as the Chargers going in
the right direction, but they still have a warning crack power.
They still are a team that hasn't able to close
out the big game and they need to prove that.
I think it's a positive step from winning five games
to you know, being the number five seed. I think
(30:38):
it was a very good season. You've got to build
on that. It would seem they have the right seem
as if they have the right quarterback. But I think
Herbert needs to prove he can he can win when
he needs to. And the Rams I was at that
game actually has like both those games Chargers in Houston
and the Rams and Philly, I really thought the Rams
(30:59):
are going to win that. It really felt like that
final drive Stafford was gonna take him down and they
were gonna win that. It was a pretty remarkable season
from that one and fourth start I know they had,
they were whatever three and six the year before, but
they had a ton of guys who were injured and
(31:19):
they had stopped her back half of the schedule. This
is two years ago. Uh, so I don't think that
was as remarkable as as coming back this year the
way they did.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
And uh.
Speaker 8 (31:32):
That you know, obviously the windows closing there and Matthew
Stafford doesn't have that much longer to go, presumably, But
I think that's a pretty good team. So I think
both teams can feel good about it. The Chargers are
younger in terms of well, the Rams have very young defense,
(31:54):
but in terms of quarterbacks, they're younger. Seem like they
have a longer runway here, but they've got a free
that they can win a playoff game, and and the
Rams have a little bit of time left and they're
still an exciting team. So I think they were good
seasons for both these teams. There are endings out with Sandy.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Plowing the fields of the country's most popular sport. The
Great Sam Farmer from La Times. We love him.
Speaker 2 (32:21):

happy to talk to him. Thank you, Sam, and have

What a moment for Tim Kates. It's a three day
old piece. So they did the trick. What was the

Bachelor report coming up in our very next segment, getting
to some more Pete Carroll, Bottom of the hour, going
until seven o'clock. A little bit of a Snurtley segment here, Pete.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
No, I have something to say, hurt me with his words.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
The word of the day.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Follow up from yesterday, Matt, what do we got? Remember
we were talking about UCLA or usc with the big
money moving on the cornerback at a Newbury Park, the Panthers,
The Farmer floor, Brady Smigel. Some people say Smiegel, but
it's Smigel. UCLA has landed a commitment from his number
(35:11):
one receiver, Shane Rosenthaal, California's all time receptions leader. UCLA
has always been the school I dreamed of attending, and
once I visited, I knew it was that perfect mix,
the perfect fit.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
And that's from Trek Fatal, our friend. So is Smigel next,
We certainly hope.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
So if you're a UCLA type, Ucla might want to sniff.
And don't forget Ohio State. And Chip Kelly was there
the other day. Now, I watched Smigel's tape to be
a little bit more accustomed to him as a quarterback.
He's got a real hose, real hose. Well, I mean,
otherwise you know why would yeah, what do we do it?
(36:00):
Little bit of an odd motion, then somebody might try
to f with but the ball comes flying out of
there and the thing that jumped out to me. Not
necessarily athleticism, though he runs around and and runs for
first downs and touchdowns and stuff, ran away from people
on a couple occasions. Wildly accurate in game accuracy. In
game accuracy, very impressive. So Smigel and has father, the
(36:25):
head coach, Joel, who was an oligneman for Keith Smith,
the great New mary Park quarterback. I missed one New
mary Park quarterback yesterday and it's understandable because he transferred
out Rudy Carpenter. Good job, mat So anyway, that's what's
going on. Rosenthal. Is he the John the Baptist to
the coming of Smigel to U c LA. Yes, and
(36:48):
if it really is Smigel, like how we got Robert Smigle,
that's what we think. Have a hard time now it's
you hear who said it was? I had one Textos
was like, it's sme, but I believe it's I belie.
We've heard nothing but Smigle for years. Yeah. Yeah, you
take an easy cares so breathy gosh. This is the
(37:13):
song of the day.
Speaker 9 (37:16):
Today's song of the day is called More than Life
from an English band called The Horrors. New music is
what you're listening to on a Tuesday afternoon from the
post punk shoegazers who have tweaked their line up just
a bit for the forthcoming album titled Nightlife. That'll be
the sixth full length studio record and first in almost
eight years for the quintet from Essex that has a
(37:39):
scheduled release date of March the twenty first. Mark your calendars.
It's new music from the Horrors. Enjoy Horror, Thank.
