Speaker 2 (02:52):
What's cracking, Danny? How are you?
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Yeah, Oh, there we go.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
That is an intro right there.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
You know, you would think we were going back to
the national championship after that intro let alone of five
and seventh season where we were, I will let you know,
we are well regarded as the Harvard of the South.
We were at the top of the ATR ranking, so
we were at the front of the line for the
five and seven teams to make a bowl game. But
you know, we probably decided we needed to focus on
(03:26):
academics and skip that bowl game. So that's the way
it's been going down in Tallahassee recently. But it's great
to be all man, how are we doing well?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
It's great to talk to you, Danny.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
And obviously we're dealing with what we always deal with,
which is chaos. And if it's not college football, it's
it's not chaotic and vice versa. But what what do
you find the most flamboyantly ridiculous of the last few
days because there's so many people that have a chuckle
at but there's also a lot of money involved and
(03:58):
people that have worked very hard to get to wherever
they think they deserve to be.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
What are your thoughts, Danny.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Probably the thing that was both like, oh my goodness,
we're actually gonna get something happening was when Alabama popped
up at nine, which was exactly where they were the
week before, and I was like, oh my gosh, they
didn't even penalize Alabama at all, didn't even drop them
to ten, which they could have still been in by
(04:26):
the way, they didn't even penalize them at all. So
the minute they had Alabama in, you're like, oh, Miami
or a Notre Dame, which one's gonna get screwed? And
then you're like, all right, who is it going to
be it? And of course we find out it's Miami
that gets screwed. That to me was the most egregious thing.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Like I I was pounding the.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Table for Miami over Notre Dame because I thought that
that was the game that took place in the field.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Like I was a firm believer in.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
That, but as soon as we saw that take place,
I was like, well, no name now as a team
that should be ticked off and irritated. I think they
got screwed. And Bama the team that got this free
pass to the College Football playoff, so that was probably
I mean those three obviously, that's where a lot of
the bait was around. We could get into the group
of five teams occupying two spots if you want. I
(05:12):
don't love that, and I've been on that for about
a month now. It's not two group of teams, a
group of five teams to meet it, so agree to
it's one guaranteed every single year. Like last year, I
had no problem with Boise State being in the College
Football Playoffs. They went toe to toe with Oregon, they
lost by three points. They had a generational running back
in Ashton gent Like to me, they had earned the
(05:34):
spot in the College Football Playoffs, so I didn't have
a problem with that, and they were ranked inside the.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Top twelve this year.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
You could see this happening when USF who was a favorite,
they got.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Housed by Miami.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Earlier this season, Twulane was the next thing, and it
was like, oh, it's two lane here. They got housed
by Ole Miss forty five to ten. And as I'm
watching all these teams go down, I'm like, oh my gosh,
we have to have one of these, let alone two.
I just think there's got to be a requirement that
they should have to play multiple Power four teams, or
they have to be ranked in the top fifteen somewhere
(06:08):
where there's just where you don't just hand them spots
when some years they might just not be deserving, which
I think is.
Speaker 8 (06:13):
This year Danny Notre Dame being left out and then saying,
you know what, forget it. We don't want to play
in a ball game. We don't care what ballgame we
get invited to. What do you make of their decision
to say we're taking our ball and going home.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Tam, I don't like it.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Some college football fan, I would have loved to see
Notre Dame play one more time, But I understand it.
I mean, I remember two years ago Florida State was undefeated,
like I think we had like some name did lose
twice like I loved. I don't know if you guys
have seen Clark leavest comments at Vanderbilt. The head coach,
he was that your team ever think about sitting out
(06:47):
a bowl and he said no, He said, well, I
felt like we should have been in. We did lose
two games, and I understand it. Marcus Freeman didn't have
that same tact. And you know, going back to Florida
State when they got left out in twenty twenty five
and they were undefeated, they did not lose, and they
were a conference champion. I was livid, and I know
a lot of I was like, man, should we screw
(07:08):
over the system and say screw you to the Orange
Bowl and sit this thing out? And of course Florida
State went ahead and played in the game, but if
you watched it, it was a tarnage to the brand.
I mean, they got smoked sixty three to three by
Georgia because half the team had opted out. The half
that was left over, you under, there were a bunch
of backups, young players. Georgia was invested in that game.
(07:30):
They wanted to prove to the world that they got
the shop. And you know, like it was, it was
not good. And you could make a case that Florida
State has not recovered since that game. So I understand it.
But I think the greater overall discussion here is what
do we do with the balls in general? Because it
wasn't only Notre Dame. We also had Iowa State and
(07:51):
Kansas State opt out of pretty good Bowl games. I
mentioned Florida State. There were seven teams that said no,
thank you to the Birmingham Bowl, like and I think
it's just we have too many. I'm not joking. There
were seven teams that said no. Finally, app State said
we'll go. You know, we'll take a little vacation there
to lovely Birmingham, Alabama in late December. I'm sure it's
(08:15):
wonderful there that time of year. But I do think
there's a greater when Petros, when you and I were playing,
there were twenty Bowl games. Now there's forty. They're just
too many. I think we need to reevaluate why we
have so many games. And I know why we do.
It's inventory for ESPN. You know who owns a lot
of those extra balls.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
All of them?
Speaker 7 (08:34):
But yeah, exactly, they don't. I think the CBS owns one.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Like there's the get.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, I play touchdown? Yeah, oh let's go.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
You probably have a picture hanging up in the sun
Bowl somewhere. Your jersey's probably.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Somewhere deep in the lines, somewhere deep in the minds
of you.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Yes, but I do think we need to evaluate how
necessary it is to have so many or and what
we'll probably see soon because I do we're going to
get expanded playoffs is they're going to incorporate some of
these bowls into the playoff system whenever we get there.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
So the whole ball system doesn't go away completely, but
it's going to be altered.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Will buy a bigger playoff? How big does that playoff
have to be? Danny twenty four?
Speaker 6 (09:17):
You know, I don't know. And it's funny because I
was very pro expansion when we were at two, and
when we were at four, and then we went to twelve,
and I was like, Oh, this is kind of this
is a big jump. And then as early as two
months ago, I was like, let's not change it. Let's
keep it at twelve. Let's keep it at twelve. But
(09:37):
here's the thing, You've got to get rid of conference
championship games too. So like, that's a lot of games
that we saw this past weekend that if you start
the playoffs there and as opposed to watching Ohio State
and India play an unbelievable game one versus two with
nothing at stake. I mean, they just flip slopped the
seeds like nothing really mattered. Instead of how can that
(10:00):
be the case? What if we had seen Miami play
Fando Built and Notre Dame play you know, Utah and
they're playing for their playoff lives, you know, and what
if we saw as opposed to Old Miss sitting at
home waiting around, you know and having a buye to
play Tulane, what if we saw them play this past weekend. Like,
(10:20):
I think that's a solution to get rid of conference
championship games go bigger, and I think, you know, whether
a twenty four.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
Fields really big?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
You know, I'd probably prefer to start at sixteen, you know,
maybe even you know, some number eighteen twenty something like that.
Twenty four fields like a huge jump. But I do
think it needs to be addressed because conference championship weekend
again TV inventory, it's huge for all networks, but they're
really becoming irrelevant because there's nothing really at stake for everybody.
Like some teams there is, some teams there isn't. It's
(10:51):
just hard and awkward where it lies in the calendar.
I think that would be better off if we could
figure out how to start the playoffs that weekend than
in an expanded playoffs. That makes more because you'll need
those games to weed out some of the content, you know,
pretenders from the contenders.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
I think that makes the most sense.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
Danny, looking at this twelve team field now in this
college football playoffs, Indiana, what they did on Saturday night
certainly the the number one team. They're undefeated, the only
team left that doesn't have a loss on their record.
Are they the best team in this twelve field playoffs
moving forward?
Speaker 6 (11:23):
They were Saturday night, you know, Like, so I had
to power rank the teams, and there's a reason that,
you know, Ohio State, I believe is still the favorite.
I think they're regardless of losing that game.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
It's funny because I was in Indianapolis and I had
picked Indiana before the game. I was like, man, and
then I was walking around and I was watching Ohio
State warm up.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
And I wanted to change my pick.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
I was like, these guys, I mean they win to
get off the bus prize like you're doing. Like they
looked unbelievable and Indiana deserves so much credit for doing that.
But if you do see a rematch in the championship game,
which again is probably unlikely, I think one of them
gets knocked off, and probably Indiana. But like, if you
had a rematch in the game, I would have to
(12:09):
think that Ohio State would make some adjustments, that they
would clean up things on their offensive line, they would
call things a little bit differently, and that they would
do a better job getting after Rand.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
Note for Nanda Mendoza.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Now, I don't I don't even like having this conversation
because it feels like we take away from Indiana. But
that's just a reality of sports, you know, and Indiana
would have to prove it again.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
And I do think there.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Was something to it meant more to Indiana to win
their first Big Ten championship, like they just felt, and
I think Ohio State in the back of their minds, they're.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
Like, Oh, we don't have to win this game. We can.
This is just a way. This could be just a
speed bump like it was last year.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
And I don't know if that's subconscious or not. I mean,
still look like they were trying really hard in the field,
don't get it wrong, but I do wonder if it
just meant more to Indiana and they were there. I
think Ohio State is still the most talented team in
college football. But I do think this thing is wide open.
I think there's five or six teams out of the
twelve that could win the national championship.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Danny Kanal the one and only a real hero to everybody,
not just in Tallahassee. Maybe Ohio State can make an
adjustment to their hearts. We'll see how it all. We'll
see how it all shakes out. Do you like Fernie
Mendoza for the Heisman? Maybe a little too polished in
the interviews, Danny, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
I know, are you reminded? I don't know if he
reminds you anybody. He's got a little Andrew Luck, a
little Kirk Cousins, you know, kind of that goofy nerdy,
like too perfect and you know, saying the right things
at the right time. But I do think it is genuine.
I think he's genuinely like naive and hasn't been the
center of the college football world for very long. He
(13:47):
hasn't been corrupted, you know, by the money and the
influence and the fame, so I kind of appreciate that.
And it was funny because I was watching the odds
Diego Diego Papa had a chance to steal the heisman.
It was there for the taking. In the second quarter
of the Big Ten Championship game when it was kind
of a defensive affair, Diego Pavia was leading the heisman
(14:09):
race by the odds makers, and then as soon as
Fernando Mendoza threw his first touchdown pass, that's when he
went to like it was like Diego Pavia. It was
minus one five in the first quarter, and then the
second quarter it was like back to both were plus
money to where now and at the end of the game,
Fernando Mendoza was a heavy heavy favorite. I do think
(14:29):
he won the Heisman award on Saturday night, and I
do think he's he deserves the award. Diego Pavi has
been awesome. I would have him probably coming in second,
but I think Fernando Mendoza has been spectacular this here
for the Hoosiers.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
I saw somebody tweet out that Diego Pavia is what
Axe Body Spray would be as a person.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
That is really good, that is really well done. I mean,
it is such a perfect I'm trying to think of
some other line, but that there's not much nothing better
than describes them line.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Thanks bet online for the Heisman and everything else football
playoff lines. That's bet Online. The Great Danny Canal Tough

(16:51):
So we love Toyota and our friends at so Cal Toyota.
So that's next Thursday, December eighteen.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
All right, let's get to it. We call this the top.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Story of the top story of it.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Change can be painful because college football is experiencing the
reality of change right after two seasons of the College
Football Playoff. The only guarantee is that there is more
pain ahead, and we don't have time to get into
everything today. We also have Danny Cannell on. But here
we are in no particular order. The twelve teams are
(17:28):
probably the correct twelve teams. Notre Dame is right to
be pissed, but they lost to Miami. Here are the
challenges that will or should be changing the college football committee.
As I've been saying since day one last season, having
(17:51):
a college football committee full of administrators athletic directors specifically
is a mistake. There are two options. Have one administrator
administrate and oversee a committee of fifteen football people. Or
b have a computer pick the teams with a software
(18:13):
program every year.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Yeah, but then what goes into the software to decide
with the computer?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Speacata Okay, Mark d Antonio, Mike Riley, Chris Alt. They're
perfect examples on the current committee. Former Pro Bowl tight
end and old Miss legend Wesley Walls, sportswriter Ivan Mazell.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
They're also on the committee.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
But administrators are politicians and they pride themselves on influence.
And the politicians are the ones who had Notre Dame
clearly ahead to Miami the last four weeks and then
flip the script and flip those teams a week after
neither played a game. That's a political move, it's not
(18:58):
a football move. At them there earlier, Why didn't you
have them there later? It's a good argument by Notre Dame,
what do we do wrong? Well, nothing, you What you
did is you're the number one Brandon College football and
they used your name. The selection process needs a deaf,
dumb and blind approach. None of us needs an athletic
director rewatching games the night before the bracket is released
(19:21):
and then throw it in our faces justification to how
hard they're working. And just use the computers. Write a
program that uses a head to head metric, a margin
of victory metric, this data up to thirty one points,
a game control metric that's a thing, and a quality
of the last three games metric.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
That would solve the problem.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
That or just get the administed, get the politicians out
of it, get the brille cream guys out of it.
That's what ads are. They're politicians. The Conference championship games
are on life support. The only way the conference championship
games survive is if they're all elimination games. There has
(20:07):
to be something at stake. Two related things can be
true at the same time. Alabama deserved to be in
the bracket, and Alabama got a task kick Saturday by Georgia.
Rebrand the conference champion games as conference elimination games. All
the leagues can do it. Alabama or Oklahoma should have
(20:29):
been playing against Vanderbilt to be the SEC's fourth team
in the bracket. Michigan and USC could have played to
be the Big Tens number four as well.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Win or go home, and you got to expland the
playoff now to sixteen or twenty four teams just chase
the money, Get Fox involved, guarantee the top four teams
and the power four leagues.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Let the leagues have.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Their nation games between the fourth and fifth place finishers.
And I just reference the PAC twelve in Mountain West
and Sun Belt and American can have their own playoff
and championship. We would be basically be taking teams one
through sixty five for the college Football Playoff and then
team sixty six through one.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Point thirty for the Division two championship.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
James Madison and two Lane probably don't have a chance
to win two games, let alone four games in the
College Football Playoff.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
They're gonna get smashed in their first round game.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
All right, well we'll see, but yes, that's that's what
the metrics tell us.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Right.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
The bowl game system as we know it is on
life support. Notre Dame got all the attention for declining
a bull bid, and sure it's sour grapes. But Kansas
State and Iowa State, two pretty big programs.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
How don't get this one?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Decline bull bits too?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Why Brady Quinn referred to these as exhibitions on Sunday,
and he's right, unless your school makes the playoff. What's
the value of playing on the AutoZone Liberty Bowler, the
BEFO Brady Bowl.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
It's the lead up though, it's a chance to practice more.
It's the chance to be around the team more, and
you play one more. Some teams, that works right for
some teams they need that. For other teams, they're looking
to get rid of a bunch of people and turn
the page. Some teams want to be together and are
trying to retain players others are trying to flip them out.
It really is circumstantial, and it's hard to make people
(22:27):
circumstance match to where they're a good matchup against each other.
You got your own players already entering the portal that
you need to retain or let go, and then you're
also trying to coach the other guys up with the
Pinstripe Bowl, Tony, the Tiger Sun Bowl.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
It's an awkward time of year, but some some teams
want it and some teams don't. More and more schools
and coaches might rather prepare for the portal window in
January and then hold a spirit at spring ball with
a full team and not worry about the spring portal that.
I mean, everybody's just making it up as they go along.
(23:02):
That's kind of what's happening now. I believe the supply
and demand theory will probably eat up a lot of
Bowl games as we know them.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
It's unfortunate because there was a great article today, I
think Pete Thamil had it one of the guys on
the Athletic about how much money these bulls are really
losing even when they get teams like Nebraska who just
eat up the tickets if it's the Holiday Bowl or
the Alima Bowl.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
They don't care.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
They travel because they love their teams. These bulls are
still losing millions every year.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Then why do they do it?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
ESPN inventory Notre Dame probably needs to join a conference,
but why if somebody has a TV deal for them,
why would they? Maybe this is the tipping point. We
all have to swallow our pride at some point. Maybe
it's time for Notre Dame to get on board. The
Irish do want everything their own way. They're fighting the
(23:51):
battle with USC. They want in the playoff as an independent,
and they want the ACC to bow down to them.
Bow down when you come of my town. To that point,
earlier today on am FI seventy, the Notre Dame ad
Pete Bavaqua ripped the ACC left to right end up
and down permanently, and Notre Dame didn't give the College
(24:13):
Football Playoff a big boost. Last season, The Irish played
four games, making it all the way to the championship game,
and that help. They have their own NBC TV deal,
it's been in place since ninety one, but they would
have played in the ACC title game over the weekend
for the right to be in the playoff. They are
the biggest brand in college sports. Maybe they should just
(24:36):
make amends with the ACC and get on board after
this has happened. But they don't want to get in
bed with ESPN. They want the biggest piece of the
pie and they want to be independent as well.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Bavaqua said, permanently damage has been done. Yeah, with them
in the ACC.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Well, that sounds like your girlfriend in high school, right,
Like I can't trust you and they were talking to
you again.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Okay, we'll see we talked to you after third period?
What you like? Yeah? And what the hell is going
to happen in the first round?
Speaker 5 (25:04):
I think it's pretty stupid that Old Miss and Tulane
are playing a first round matchup.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
It's a rematch of a September game. How'd that go?
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Forty five to ten beat down by the Revs? Another
first round to Alabama. Oklahoma's a rematch from November fifteenth.
That was a good game, though Sooners won twenty three
to twenty one.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Yep, I was on that game.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Half the first round games or rematches? Can we put
that in the computer too? No first round rematches as
a metric.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Who I liked it. I think that could be worked in.
I'm not a computer major, but I think that you're not.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
There is more pain ahead and it's gonna take time.
But in a nutshell dump the committee use computers. Expand
the playoff sixteen or twenty four. Change the conference championship
games to conference elimination games if you still need the
cash crap.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
And no first round rematches.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
You know what I don't like is no stairway. Danny
Knell said it earlier. We'll just use the ball games
as the opening rounds. I like this at home. You
know at Audsin next week it's Oregon playing host of
James Madison. You get a little home field advantage. I'd
like that for the bigger and bigger the playoff could make.
You can have it all right. You could be like
(26:15):
Notre Dame. You could be independent and being a conference
and have your own TV deal. I don't want to
use the Tony the Tiger Bowl though, as the opening
round game, just because we want to use the bowls.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
I could do the deal with Barzini and keep my casino.
I want to take the Holiday Bowl to Saudi Arabia.
I'd like that idea. Yeah, I don't know why the
acc said north of North Carolina State. You're going to
Saudi Arabia. Have a great time, enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Oh but we're gonna give you twenty million dollars for
going Well.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Okay, well then maybe we will.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Okay, We'll be right back with more great sports talkers.

Speaker 9 (28:35):
Hi Dave, Hi Petros, Hi Tim is my connection. No care,
You're gonna mock me for the next two weeks with However,
my cell phone said this sounded.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Like the Devil that one day.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Okay, it was really weird, and you know that it
was weird, So don't act like it's that.
Speaker 9 (28:50):
I had no idea until my barber told me. They said, hey,
they're making you sound like Satan. I said, what, we.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Didn't do it.
Speaker 9 (28:59):
I was like, okay, I remember hearing it live.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
It scared the crap out of me.
Speaker 9 (29:04):
I had no idea. Kate's never let me know my
cell phone connection.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
So everybody's moving on to the next thing. It was
a crazy time was World Series.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
You're going, guys, like twenty seconds and then it fixed
itself because the phone system here is whack.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
All right, So, what's the latest about the Winter Meetings?
Is there anything to report, Dave? I wish there was,
or there wasn't, or I don't know what do I.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Care not as far as the Dodgers go. But here's
the two biggest things that came out of the Winter
Meetings today. Pete Alonso, who lives in Tampa, Florida, which
is a seven hour drive from Orlando, drove to Orlando
today to meet with both the Baltimore Orioles and the
Boston Red Sox, presumably the Mets as well. But I
(29:49):
had mentioned a week or I reported a week after
the World Series was over that I was told by
my sources in Boston that their sites were set on
bringing back Alex Bregman and also signing Pete Alonzo. So
I've known that for quite some time. It feels like
the rest of the baseball world started to catch on.
(30:10):
But they've had kind of a void at first base
for a long time and they need some power from
that position, and Pete Alonzo certainly would drive with the
Green Monsters. So Pete Alonso, I don't believe it is
going back to the Mets.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Trek Scouble is the name being talked about.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
Obviously, it's rumors right now, David with the Tigers trying
to lock him up to a long term deal. Can
they afford him, Probably not. Will they trade him before
this season, going into his final year of his rookie contract,
we'll find out.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
What are you hearing about the big left hander.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
Yeah, I don't believe he's going to be traded either.
The Dodgers and other teams have been knocking down the
schoobl door for the last two years, and the Tigers
wisely have not traded him because they've been in the
postseason the last two years. They're trying to win again
this year in a very winnable ale Central So I
believe they're just gathering information on what is being offered
(31:05):
for school Gool right now, and if for some reason
they they fall out of contention or don't believe they
have a chance to win, then there will be more
of a realistic possibility of him being traded at the deadline.
But they would get a big haul from the Dodgers,
from the Mets, from almost any other team. But there
(31:25):
are arguments on both sides whether or not they should
do it or not. But he's a generational talent. If
you're if this whole argument about the have and have nots,
and you're the Tigers that went to the postseason the
last two years, won the Al Central a year ago,
how can you justify to your fan base you're trading
(31:45):
the best pitcher in baseball? And I disagree with that
premised him. I do believe they can afford it. It's
whether or not they want to spend it.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
Were this free agency window, you'd mentioned pen Alonzo, the
others that are out there as free agents, and even
looking ahead to next year, how much do you think
the undecisiveness of the CBA after this season could play
in to how much teams are willing to spend. If
the CBA changes and things look drastically different with a
salary cap or no salary capper, a missed season, our
(32:17):
team's going to be a little shy right now in
throwing out big money because of the looming maybe workstar page.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
I was told that it's not affecting business at all.
The only reason why you haven't seen a lot of
movement yet is the biggest free agent position player has
not set the market, and that's Kyle Schwarber, not Kyle Tucker.
Kyle Tucker has his market and it may be dwindling,
but Kyle Schwarber is a guy that many teams that
(32:46):
are contenders, like the Phillies, the Cubs, the Red Sox,
among others, are trying to sign. If they can't sign Schwarber,
they are going to pivot to other players on the market,
whether it's trade or free agency. From what I was told,
if the Phillies don't sign Kyle Schwarber, they could pivot
(33:06):
to Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger. I was told that
during the NLBS, so the Schwarber piece really will start
to make the rest of the market move. But I've
been told there's been nothing that is looming as far
as the CBA expiring, that would preclude teams from giving
multi year deals out. I think the one thing that
(33:27):
we're seeing right now is that teams like the Pirates
and Marlins, who you know again, are being accused of
the last few years of not reinvesting the revenue sharing
trying to go out and spend on players. Ken Rosenthal
reported they offered Kyle Schwarber a four year, one hundred
plus million dollar deal. I guess they're trying to show, hey,
(33:48):
we're trying to spend money, but nobody's taking it. The
Marlins same thing. So I think those are the two
examples that are related to the negotiations of the upcoming CBA.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
The One and Only David Vasse he's on Spectrum Sports
Net tonight and he has Dodger Talk doubling up, and
he's got Brian Krantz on Dodger Talk. And you saw
Tommy Edmond on Saturday. What did he tell you about
fixing that ankle?
Speaker 7 (34:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (34:20):
I went out to One Way Memorabilia's shop in Monterey Park.
That's where Tommy Yedman was signing autographs. There's a hat
right next door, and the line went way past the hat.
People were getting those pastrami sandwiches while they were in line.
Petro's something I know you can appreciate.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
I do like the hat.
Speaker 9 (34:40):
But tom Yedman came in on a scooter. He was
on a scooter in Monterey Park with the right ankle
in a boot. He told me he's going to have
to be in that boot for the next three weeks
and then from there may start to put some weight
on that right ankle. So I could see him being
a little bit behind other players when spring training starts.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Trade trade done, David.
Speaker 8 (35:08):
We all love trade talk and the two names that
are being talked about, and again it's rumors, it's people
out there talking about it. But what are you hearing about?
TiO Oscar Hernandez and Tyler Glass now two names that
keep being brought up as possible trades.
Speaker 9 (35:23):
Yeah, I'll put it this way, Tim, Both of those
guys are not untouchable. The Dodgers do have some young
pitching coming up river. Ryan is going to be on
Dodger Talk tomorrow. From what I've been told, he looked
fantastic since coming back from Tommy John surgery. I'm predicting
him to be this upcoming year's em It Sheehan. For
(35:45):
the Dodgers, I would say ta Oscar and glassnow are
not untouchable. Uh, ta Oscar Hernandez, if the Dodgers are
trying to find a way to get younger and better defensively,
he would be one avenue to do that. As far
as trying to trade him, but I'm not sure you
guys saw what took place in Miami over the weekend,
(36:05):
but there was some sort of celebrity softball game going on,
and ta Oscar Hernandez looks like he's been in the
lab because he looks like he has lost at least
fifteen pounds and is very serious in trying to evolve
with the father times. So Taioskar has a great spirit
about him. He's a great teammate, But the Dodgers are
(36:26):
trying to balance winning and getting younger moving forward.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
What's more likely a signing for the Dodgers or a trade.
Speaker 9 (36:32):
I feel like a trade, I really do. The Cardinals
are a really good trade match. There's been connections between
the Dodgers and Lars new Bar and Brendan Donovan that
obviously would help their outfield defense if they were able
to trade for new bar who has a very close
relationship with sho he Otani going back to their time
(36:55):
on Team Japan World Baseball Classic. Donovan can play second,
he could play third, he could play left field. And
the Cardinals are somewhat rebooting and need some young pitching,
and the Dodgers have a lot of that. And Heim Bloom,
former GM of the Red Sox, is now in charge
of the Cardinals. And we know Andrew Freeman and Heim
(37:15):
Bloom have a long history, so they can make a
deal together.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
All right, Dave, Well, have a great night of television
and rubbing elbows with the rich and famous Brian Cranston
on Dodger Talk with some big hot stove ideas a
great actor and a great guy and a big Dodger fan.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
So thank you, De Petro.
Speaker 9 (37:35):
I appreciate you appreciating my success. A lot of people
would be resentful, but you have not been resentful, and
I'm very happy for your success. With Trent Rush on
College Football Night in America.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
Well, that's not what I do. Wow, I called two
games with Trent Rush.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Wow. Why got to attack the concierg of the law.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
Basically like, hey, you notice that I'm with the World
Series champs, and you called a Fresno game in the
rain with Trent Rush.
Speaker 8 (38:06):
That's what he basically just any word from Elizabeth Olson, Dave,
and he worked from her earth what's.
Speaker 9 (38:10):
Wh why not yet? But the Spectrum did ask me
to send her a little note, so well, people get
a response.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
All right, Dave, have a great night.
Speaker 9 (38:22):

Danny Canell right on the fifty.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
What's cracking, Danny? How are you?
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Yeah, Oh, there we go.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
That is an intro right there.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
You know, you would think we were going back to
the national championship after that intro let alone of five
and seventh season where we were, I will let you know,
we are well regarded as the Harvard of the South.
We were at the top of the ATR ranking, so
we were at the front of the line for the
five and seven teams to make a bowl game. But
you know, we probably decided we needed to focus on
(03:26):
academics and skip that bowl game. So that's the way
it's been going down in Tallahassee recently. But it's great
to be all man, how are we doing well?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
It's great to talk to you, Danny.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
And obviously we're dealing with what we always deal with,
which is chaos. And if it's not college football, it's
it's not chaotic and vice versa. But what what do
you find the most flamboyantly ridiculous of the last few
days because there's so many people that have a chuckle
at but there's also a lot of money involved and
(03:58):
people that have worked very hard to get to wherever
they think they deserve to be.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
What are your thoughts, Danny.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Probably the thing that was both like, oh my goodness,
we're actually gonna get something happening was when Alabama popped
up at nine, which was exactly where they were the
week before, and I was like, oh my gosh, they
didn't even penalize Alabama at all, didn't even drop them
to ten, which they could have still been in by
(04:26):
the way, they didn't even penalize them at all. So
the minute they had Alabama in, you're like, oh, Miami
or a Notre Dame, which one's gonna get screwed? And
then you're like, all right, who is it going to
be it? And of course we find out it's Miami
that gets screwed. That to me was the most egregious thing.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Like I I was pounding the.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Table for Miami over Notre Dame because I thought that
that was the game that took place in the field.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Like I was a firm believer in.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
That, but as soon as we saw that take place,
I was like, well, no name now as a team
that should be ticked off and irritated. I think they
got screwed. And Bama the team that got this free
pass to the College Football playoff, so that was probably
I mean those three obviously, that's where a lot of
the bait was around. We could get into the group
of five teams occupying two spots if you want. I
(05:12):
don't love that, and I've been on that for about
a month now. It's not two group of teams, a
group of five teams to meet it, so agree to
it's one guaranteed every single year. Like last year, I
had no problem with Boise State being in the College
Football Playoffs. They went toe to toe with Oregon, they
lost by three points. They had a generational running back
in Ashton gent Like to me, they had earned the
(05:34):
spot in the College Football Playoffs, so I didn't have
a problem with that, and they were ranked inside the.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Top twelve this year.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
You could see this happening when USF who was a favorite,
they got.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Housed by Miami.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Earlier this season, Twulane was the next thing, and it
was like, oh, it's two lane here. They got housed
by Ole Miss forty five to ten. And as I'm
watching all these teams go down, I'm like, oh my gosh,
we have to have one of these, let alone two.
I just think there's got to be a requirement that
they should have to play multiple Power four teams, or
they have to be ranked in the top fifteen somewhere
(06:08):
where there's just where you don't just hand them spots
when some years they might just not be deserving, which
I think is.
Speaker 8 (06:13):
This year Danny Notre Dame being left out and then saying,
you know what, forget it. We don't want to play
in a ball game. We don't care what ballgame we
get invited to. What do you make of their decision
to say we're taking our ball and going home.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Tam, I don't like it.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Some college football fan, I would have loved to see
Notre Dame play one more time, But I understand it.
I mean, I remember two years ago Florida State was undefeated,
like I think we had like some name did lose
twice like I loved. I don't know if you guys
have seen Clark leavest comments at Vanderbilt. The head coach,
he was that your team ever think about sitting out
(06:47):
a bowl and he said no, He said, well, I
felt like we should have been in. We did lose
two games, and I understand it. Marcus Freeman didn't have
that same tact. And you know, going back to Florida
State when they got left out in twenty twenty five
and they were undefeated, they did not lose, and they
were a conference champion. I was livid, and I know
a lot of I was like, man, should we screw
(07:08):
over the system and say screw you to the Orange
Bowl and sit this thing out? And of course Florida
State went ahead and played in the game, but if
you watched it, it was a tarnage to the brand.
I mean, they got smoked sixty three to three by
Georgia because half the team had opted out. The half
that was left over, you under, there were a bunch
of backups, young players. Georgia was invested in that game.
(07:30):
They wanted to prove to the world that they got
the shop. And you know, like it was, it was
not good. And you could make a case that Florida
State has not recovered since that game. So I understand it.
But I think the greater overall discussion here is what
do we do with the balls in general? Because it
wasn't only Notre Dame. We also had Iowa State and
(07:51):
Kansas State opt out of pretty good Bowl games. I
mentioned Florida State. There were seven teams that said no,
thank you to the Birmingham Bowl, like and I think
it's just we have too many. I'm not joking. There
were seven teams that said no. Finally, app State said
we'll go. You know, we'll take a little vacation there
to lovely Birmingham, Alabama in late December. I'm sure it's
(08:15):
wonderful there that time of year. But I do think
there's a greater when Petros, when you and I were playing,
there were twenty Bowl games. Now there's forty. They're just
too many. I think we need to reevaluate why we
have so many games. And I know why we do.
It's inventory for ESPN. You know who owns a lot
of those extra balls.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
All of them?
Speaker 7 (08:34):
But yeah, exactly, they don't. I think the CBS owns one.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Like there's the get.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, I play touchdown? Yeah, oh let's go.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
You probably have a picture hanging up in the sun
Bowl somewhere. Your jersey's probably.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Somewhere deep in the lines, somewhere deep in the minds
of you.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Yes, but I do think we need to evaluate how
necessary it is to have so many or and what
we'll probably see soon because I do we're going to
get expanded playoffs is they're going to incorporate some of
these bowls into the playoff system whenever we get there.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
So the whole ball system doesn't go away completely, but
it's going to be altered.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Will buy a bigger playoff? How big does that playoff
have to be? Danny twenty four?
Speaker 6 (09:17):
You know, I don't know. And it's funny because I
was very pro expansion when we were at two, and
when we were at four, and then we went to twelve,
and I was like, Oh, this is kind of this
is a big jump. And then as early as two
months ago, I was like, let's not change it. Let's
keep it at twelve. Let's keep it at twelve. But
(09:37):
here's the thing, You've got to get rid of conference
championship games too. So like, that's a lot of games
that we saw this past weekend that if you start
the playoffs there and as opposed to watching Ohio State
and India play an unbelievable game one versus two with
nothing at stake. I mean, they just flip slopped the
seeds like nothing really mattered. Instead of how can that
(10:00):
be the case? What if we had seen Miami play
Fando Built and Notre Dame play you know, Utah and
they're playing for their playoff lives, you know, and what
if we saw as opposed to Old Miss sitting at
home waiting around, you know and having a buye to
play Tulane, what if we saw them play this past weekend. Like,
(10:20):
I think that's a solution to get rid of conference
championship games go bigger, and I think, you know, whether
a twenty four.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
Fields really big?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
You know, I'd probably prefer to start at sixteen, you know,
maybe even you know, some number eighteen twenty something like that.
Twenty four fields like a huge jump. But I do
think it needs to be addressed because conference championship weekend
again TV inventory, it's huge for all networks, but they're
really becoming irrelevant because there's nothing really at stake for everybody.
Like some teams there is, some teams there isn't. It's
(10:51):
just hard and awkward where it lies in the calendar.
I think that would be better off if we could
figure out how to start the playoffs that weekend than
in an expanded playoffs. That makes more because you'll need
those games to weed out some of the content, you know,
pretenders from the contenders.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
I think that makes the most sense.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
Danny, looking at this twelve team field now in this
college football playoffs, Indiana, what they did on Saturday night
certainly the the number one team. They're undefeated, the only
team left that doesn't have a loss on their record.
Are they the best team in this twelve field playoffs
moving forward?
Speaker 6 (11:23):
They were Saturday night, you know, Like, so I had
to power rank the teams, and there's a reason that,
you know, Ohio State, I believe is still the favorite.
I think they're regardless of losing that game.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
It's funny because I was in Indianapolis and I had
picked Indiana before the game. I was like, man, and
then I was walking around and I was watching Ohio
State warm up.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
And I wanted to change my pick.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
I was like, these guys, I mean they win to
get off the bus prize like you're doing. Like they
looked unbelievable and Indiana deserves so much credit for doing that.
But if you do see a rematch in the championship game,
which again is probably unlikely, I think one of them
gets knocked off, and probably Indiana. But like, if you
had a rematch in the game, I would have to
(12:09):
think that Ohio State would make some adjustments, that they
would clean up things on their offensive line, they would
call things a little bit differently, and that they would
do a better job getting after Rand.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
Note for Nanda Mendoza.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Now, I don't I don't even like having this conversation
because it feels like we take away from Indiana. But
that's just a reality of sports, you know, and Indiana
would have to prove it again.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
And I do think there.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Was something to it meant more to Indiana to win
their first Big Ten championship, like they just felt, and
I think Ohio State in the back of their minds, they're.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
Like, Oh, we don't have to win this game. We can.
This is just a way. This could be just a
speed bump like it was last year.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
And I don't know if that's subconscious or not. I mean,
still look like they were trying really hard in the field,
don't get it wrong, but I do wonder if it
just meant more to Indiana and they were there. I
think Ohio State is still the most talented team in
college football. But I do think this thing is wide open.
I think there's five or six teams out of the
twelve that could win the national championship.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Danny Kanal the one and only a real hero to everybody,
not just in Tallahassee. Maybe Ohio State can make an
adjustment to their hearts. We'll see how it all. We'll
see how it all shakes out. Do you like Fernie
Mendoza for the Heisman? Maybe a little too polished in
the interviews, Danny, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
I know, are you reminded? I don't know if he
reminds you anybody. He's got a little Andrew Luck, a
little Kirk Cousins, you know, kind of that goofy nerdy,
like too perfect and you know, saying the right things
at the right time. But I do think it is genuine.
I think he's genuinely like naive and hasn't been the
center of the college football world for very long. He
(13:47):
hasn't been corrupted, you know, by the money and the
influence and the fame, so I kind of appreciate that.
And it was funny because I was watching the odds
Diego Diego Papa had a chance to steal the heisman.
It was there for the taking. In the second quarter
of the Big Ten Championship game when it was kind
of a defensive affair, Diego Pavia was leading the heisman
(14:09):
race by the odds makers, and then as soon as
Fernando Mendoza threw his first touchdown pass, that's when he
went to like it was like Diego Pavia. It was
minus one five in the first quarter, and then the
second quarter it was like back to both were plus
money to where now and at the end of the game,
Fernando Mendoza was a heavy heavy favorite. I do think
(14:29):
he won the Heisman award on Saturday night, and I
do think he's he deserves the award. Diego Pavi has
been awesome. I would have him probably coming in second,
but I think Fernando Mendoza has been spectacular this here
for the Hoosiers.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
I saw somebody tweet out that Diego Pavia is what
Axe Body Spray would be as a person.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
That is really good, that is really well done. I mean,
it is such a perfect I'm trying to think of
some other line, but that there's not much nothing better
than describes them line.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Thanks bet online for the Heisman and everything else football
playoff lines. That's bet Online. The Great Danny Canal Tough
to beat him. Check out the cover three podcasts. Danny,
thank you so much for always being there when things
get a little too chaotic for us to handle on
our own.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
You're the best. Petros. Good catching up with you, guys.
We'll see us soon.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
All right, We'll be back with more Petros and Money

favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on
the iHeartRadio app using Apple Car Play or Android Auto.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Road Trip all summer with LA Sports, Petros and Money
show on this Monday afternoon. As the Dodgers are back
at it Tonight with Davids and Dodger talked the first
of the off season. As the Baseball Winter Meetings are
underway in Orlando, David's got all the latest Dodger news
and information. Dave Roberts and Andrew Freeman speaking with the
(16:08):
media earlier today. So Dave hovel reaction on that the
Clippers are off until Thursday when they play in Houston
against the Rockets. Chargers in action right now, we're on
KFI Am six forty and don't forget next Thursday, December eighteenth.
Put it on your calendars now three to seven pm
from the BJ's Restaurant in brew House in West Covina,
the final Petro Some Money Show remote of twenty twenty five.
(16:30):
You've got to be there. They're emptying out the PMS office.
We're gonna load up my big boy truck and put
all this stuff in there, and we'll put everything that's
still left into Petro's a little bitch truck. You got
tickets and cool all right, we'll put it into Petros
as little truck. We got tickets and gift cards as well. Look,
we got the Western House. Come no, it's a beautiful Tacoma.
(16:51):
So we love Toyota and our friends at so Cal Toyota.
So that's next Thursday, December eighteen.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
All right, let's get to it. We call this the top.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Story of the top story of it.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Change can be painful because college football is experiencing the
reality of change right after two seasons of the College
Football Playoff. The only guarantee is that there is more
pain ahead, and we don't have time to get into
everything today. We also have Danny Cannell on. But here
we are in no particular order. The twelve teams are
(17:28):
probably the correct twelve teams. Notre Dame is right to
be pissed, but they lost to Miami. Here are the
challenges that will or should be changing the college football committee.
As I've been saying since day one last season, having
(17:51):
a college football committee full of administrators athletic directors specifically
is a mistake. There are two options. Have one administrator
administrate and oversee a committee of fifteen football people. Or
b have a computer pick the teams with a software
(18:13):
program every year.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Yeah, but then what goes into the software to decide
with the computer?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Speacata Okay, Mark d Antonio, Mike Riley, Chris Alt. They're
perfect examples on the current committee. Former Pro Bowl tight
end and old Miss legend Wesley Walls, sportswriter Ivan Mazell.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
They're also on the committee.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
But administrators are politicians and they pride themselves on influence.
And the politicians are the ones who had Notre Dame
clearly ahead to Miami the last four weeks and then
flip the script and flip those teams a week after
neither played a game. That's a political move, it's not
(18:58):
a football move. At them there earlier, Why didn't you
have them there later? It's a good argument by Notre Dame,
what do we do wrong? Well, nothing, you What you
did is you're the number one Brandon College football and
they used your name. The selection process needs a deaf,
dumb and blind approach. None of us needs an athletic
director rewatching games the night before the bracket is released
(19:21):
and then throw it in our faces justification to how
hard they're working. And just use the computers. Write a
program that uses a head to head metric, a margin
of victory metric, this data up to thirty one points,
a game control metric that's a thing, and a quality
of the last three games metric.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
That would solve the problem.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
That or just get the administed, get the politicians out
of it, get the brille cream guys out of it.
That's what ads are. They're politicians. The Conference championship games
are on life support. The only way the conference championship
games survive is if they're all elimination games. There has
(20:07):
to be something at stake. Two related things can be
true at the same time. Alabama deserved to be in
the bracket, and Alabama got a task kick Saturday by Georgia.
Rebrand the conference champion games as conference elimination games. All
the leagues can do it. Alabama or Oklahoma should have
(20:29):
been playing against Vanderbilt to be the SEC's fourth team
in the bracket. Michigan and USC could have played to
be the Big Tens number four as well.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Win or go home, and you got to expland the
playoff now to sixteen or twenty four teams just chase
the money, Get Fox involved, guarantee the top four teams
and the power four leagues.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Let the leagues have.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Their nation games between the fourth and fifth place finishers.
And I just reference the PAC twelve in Mountain West
and Sun Belt and American can have their own playoff
and championship. We would be basically be taking teams one
through sixty five for the college Football Playoff and then
team sixty six through one.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Point thirty for the Division two championship.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
James Madison and two Lane probably don't have a chance
to win two games, let alone four games in the
College Football Playoff.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
They're gonna get smashed in their first round game.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
All right, well we'll see, but yes, that's that's what
the metrics tell us.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Right.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
The bowl game system as we know it is on
life support. Notre Dame got all the attention for declining
a bull bid, and sure it's sour grapes. But Kansas
State and Iowa State, two pretty big programs.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
How don't get this one?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Decline bull bits too?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Why Brady Quinn referred to these as exhibitions on Sunday,
and he's right, unless your school makes the playoff. What's
the value of playing on the AutoZone Liberty Bowler, the
BEFO Brady Bowl.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
It's the lead up though, it's a chance to practice more.
It's the chance to be around the team more, and
you play one more. Some teams, that works right for
some teams they need that. For other teams, they're looking
to get rid of a bunch of people and turn
the page. Some teams want to be together and are
trying to retain players others are trying to flip them out.
It really is circumstantial, and it's hard to make people
(22:27):
circumstance match to where they're a good matchup against each other.
You got your own players already entering the portal that
you need to retain or let go, and then you're
also trying to coach the other guys up with the
Pinstripe Bowl, Tony, the Tiger Sun Bowl.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
It's an awkward time of year, but some some teams
want it and some teams don't. More and more schools
and coaches might rather prepare for the portal window in
January and then hold a spirit at spring ball with
a full team and not worry about the spring portal that.
I mean, everybody's just making it up as they go along.
(23:02):
That's kind of what's happening now. I believe the supply
and demand theory will probably eat up a lot of
Bowl games as we know them.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
It's unfortunate because there was a great article today, I
think Pete Thamil had it one of the guys on
the Athletic about how much money these bulls are really
losing even when they get teams like Nebraska who just
eat up the tickets if it's the Holiday Bowl or
the Alima Bowl.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
They don't care.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
They travel because they love their teams. These bulls are
still losing millions every year.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Then why do they do it?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
ESPN inventory Notre Dame probably needs to join a conference,
but why if somebody has a TV deal for them,
why would they? Maybe this is the tipping point. We
all have to swallow our pride at some point. Maybe
it's time for Notre Dame to get on board. The
Irish do want everything their own way. They're fighting the
(23:51):
battle with USC. They want in the playoff as an independent,
and they want the ACC to bow down to them.
Bow down when you come of my town. To that point,
earlier today on am FI seventy, the Notre Dame ad
Pete Bavaqua ripped the ACC left to right end up
and down permanently, and Notre Dame didn't give the College
(24:13):
Football Playoff a big boost. Last season, The Irish played
four games, making it all the way to the championship game,
and that help. They have their own NBC TV deal,
it's been in place since ninety one, but they would
have played in the ACC title game over the weekend
for the right to be in the playoff. They are
the biggest brand in college sports. Maybe they should just
(24:36):
make amends with the ACC and get on board after
this has happened. But they don't want to get in
bed with ESPN. They want the biggest piece of the
pie and they want to be independent as well.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Bavaqua said, permanently damage has been done. Yeah, with them
in the ACC.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Well, that sounds like your girlfriend in high school, right,
Like I can't trust you and they were talking to
you again.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Okay, we'll see we talked to you after third period?
What you like? Yeah? And what the hell is going
to happen in the first round?
Speaker 5 (25:04):
I think it's pretty stupid that Old Miss and Tulane
are playing a first round matchup.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
It's a rematch of a September game. How'd that go?
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Forty five to ten beat down by the Revs? Another
first round to Alabama. Oklahoma's a rematch from November fifteenth.
That was a good game, though Sooners won twenty three
to twenty one.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Yep, I was on that game.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Half the first round games or rematches? Can we put
that in the computer too? No first round rematches as
a metric.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Who I liked it. I think that could be worked in.
I'm not a computer major, but I think that you're not.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
There is more pain ahead and it's gonna take time.
But in a nutshell dump the committee use computers. Expand
the playoff sixteen or twenty four. Change the conference championship
games to conference elimination games if you still need the
cash crap.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
And no first round rematches.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
You know what I don't like is no stairway. Danny
Knell said it earlier. We'll just use the ball games
as the opening rounds. I like this at home. You
know at Audsin next week it's Oregon playing host of
James Madison. You get a little home field advantage. I'd
like that for the bigger and bigger the playoff could make.
You can have it all right. You could be like
(26:15):
Notre Dame. You could be independent and being a conference
and have your own TV deal. I don't want to
use the Tony the Tiger Bowl though, as the opening
round game, just because we want to use the bowls.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
I could do the deal with Barzini and keep my casino.
I want to take the Holiday Bowl to Saudi Arabia.
I'd like that idea. Yeah, I don't know why the
acc said north of North Carolina State. You're going to
Saudi Arabia. Have a great time, enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Oh but we're gonna give you twenty million dollars for
going Well.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Okay, well then maybe we will.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Okay, We'll be right back with more great sports talkers.

Speaker 9 (28:35):
Hi Dave, Hi Petros, Hi Tim is my connection. No care,
You're gonna mock me for the next two weeks with However,
my cell phone said this sounded.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Like the Devil that one day.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Okay, it was really weird, and you know that it
was weird, So don't act like it's that.
Speaker 9 (28:50):
I had no idea until my barber told me. They said, hey,
they're making you sound like Satan. I said, what, we.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Didn't do it.
Speaker 9 (28:59):
I was like, okay, I remember hearing it live.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
It scared the crap out of me.
Speaker 9 (29:04):
I had no idea. Kate's never let me know my
cell phone connection.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
So everybody's moving on to the next thing. It was
a crazy time was World Series.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
You're going, guys, like twenty seconds and then it fixed
itself because the phone system here is whack.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
All right, So, what's the latest about the Winter Meetings?
Is there anything to report, Dave? I wish there was,
or there wasn't, or I don't know what do I.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Care not as far as the Dodgers go. But here's
the two biggest things that came out of the Winter
Meetings today. Pete Alonso, who lives in Tampa, Florida, which
is a seven hour drive from Orlando, drove to Orlando
today to meet with both the Baltimore Orioles and the
Boston Red Sox, presumably the Mets as well. But I
(29:49):
had mentioned a week or I reported a week after
the World Series was over that I was told by
my sources in Boston that their sites were set on
bringing back Alex Bregman and also signing Pete Alonzo. So
I've known that for quite some time. It feels like
the rest of the baseball world started to catch on.
(30:10):
But they've had kind of a void at first base
for a long time and they need some power from
that position, and Pete Alonzo certainly would drive with the
Green Monsters. So Pete Alonso, I don't believe it is
going back to the Mets.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Trek Scouble is the name being talked about.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
Obviously, it's rumors right now, David with the Tigers trying
to lock him up to a long term deal. Can
they afford him, Probably not. Will they trade him before
this season, going into his final year of his rookie contract,
we'll find out.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
What are you hearing about the big left hander.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
Yeah, I don't believe he's going to be traded either.
The Dodgers and other teams have been knocking down the
schoobl door for the last two years, and the Tigers
wisely have not traded him because they've been in the
postseason the last two years. They're trying to win again
this year in a very winnable ale Central So I
believe they're just gathering information on what is being offered
(31:05):
for school Gool right now, and if for some reason
they they fall out of contention or don't believe they
have a chance to win, then there will be more
of a realistic possibility of him being traded at the deadline.
But they would get a big haul from the Dodgers,
from the Mets, from almost any other team. But there
(31:25):
are arguments on both sides whether or not they should
do it or not. But he's a generational talent. If
you're if this whole argument about the have and have nots,
and you're the Tigers that went to the postseason the
last two years, won the Al Central a year ago,
how can you justify to your fan base you're trading
(31:45):
the best pitcher in baseball? And I disagree with that
premised him. I do believe they can afford it. It's
whether or not they want to spend it.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
Were this free agency window, you'd mentioned pen Alonzo, the
others that are out there as free agents, and even
looking ahead to next year, how much do you think
the undecisiveness of the CBA after this season could play
in to how much teams are willing to spend. If
the CBA changes and things look drastically different with a
salary cap or no salary capper, a missed season, our
(32:17):
team's going to be a little shy right now in
throwing out big money because of the looming maybe workstar page.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
I was told that it's not affecting business at all.
The only reason why you haven't seen a lot of
movement yet is the biggest free agent position player has
not set the market, and that's Kyle Schwarber, not Kyle Tucker.
Kyle Tucker has his market and it may be dwindling,
but Kyle Schwarber is a guy that many teams that
(32:46):
are contenders, like the Phillies, the Cubs, the Red Sox,
among others, are trying to sign. If they can't sign Schwarber,
they are going to pivot to other players on the market,
whether it's trade or free agency. From what I was told,
if the Phillies don't sign Kyle Schwarber, they could pivot
(33:06):
to Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger. I was told that
during the NLBS, so the Schwarber piece really will start
to make the rest of the market move. But I've
been told there's been nothing that is looming as far
as the CBA expiring, that would preclude teams from giving
multi year deals out. I think the one thing that
(33:27):
we're seeing right now is that teams like the Pirates
and Marlins, who you know again, are being accused of
the last few years of not reinvesting the revenue sharing
trying to go out and spend on players. Ken Rosenthal
reported they offered Kyle Schwarber a four year, one hundred
plus million dollar deal. I guess they're trying to show, hey,
(33:48):
we're trying to spend money, but nobody's taking it. The
Marlins same thing. So I think those are the two
examples that are related to the negotiations of the upcoming CBA.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
The One and Only David Vasse he's on Spectrum Sports
Net tonight and he has Dodger Talk doubling up, and
he's got Brian Krantz on Dodger Talk. And you saw
Tommy Edmond on Saturday. What did he tell you about
fixing that ankle?
Speaker 7 (34:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (34:20):
I went out to One Way Memorabilia's shop in Monterey Park.
That's where Tommy Yedman was signing autographs. There's a hat
right next door, and the line went way past the hat.
People were getting those pastrami sandwiches while they were in line.
Petro's something I know you can appreciate.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
I do like the hat.
Speaker 9 (34:40):
But tom Yedman came in on a scooter. He was
on a scooter in Monterey Park with the right ankle
in a boot. He told me he's going to have
to be in that boot for the next three weeks
and then from there may start to put some weight
on that right ankle. So I could see him being
a little bit behind other players when spring training starts.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Trade trade done, David.
Speaker 8 (35:08):
We all love trade talk and the two names that
are being talked about, and again it's rumors, it's people
out there talking about it. But what are you hearing about?
TiO Oscar Hernandez and Tyler Glass now two names that
keep being brought up as possible trades.
Speaker 9 (35:23):
Yeah, I'll put it this way, Tim, Both of those
guys are not untouchable. The Dodgers do have some young
pitching coming up river. Ryan is going to be on
Dodger Talk tomorrow. From what I've been told, he looked
fantastic since coming back from Tommy John surgery. I'm predicting
him to be this upcoming year's em It Sheehan. For
(35:45):
the Dodgers, I would say ta Oscar and glassnow are
not untouchable. Uh, ta Oscar Hernandez, if the Dodgers are
trying to find a way to get younger and better defensively,
he would be one avenue to do that. As far
as trying to trade him, but I'm not sure you
guys saw what took place in Miami over the weekend,
(36:05):
but there was some sort of celebrity softball game going on,
and ta Oscar Hernandez looks like he's been in the
lab because he looks like he has lost at least
fifteen pounds and is very serious in trying to evolve
with the father times. So Taioskar has a great spirit
about him. He's a great teammate, But the Dodgers are
(36:26):
trying to balance winning and getting younger moving forward.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
What's more likely a signing for the Dodgers or a trade.
Speaker 9 (36:32):
I feel like a trade, I really do. The Cardinals
are a really good trade match. There's been connections between
the Dodgers and Lars new Bar and Brendan Donovan that
obviously would help their outfield defense if they were able
to trade for new bar who has a very close
relationship with sho he Otani going back to their time
