RICK NEUHEISEL (CBS Sports) We have officially gotten college football all over ourselves after last weekend and this weekend is shaping up to be even more exciting. The final CFP rankings come out Sunday after the conference championships and we sure hope they don’t mess with this right away. Texas, Notre Dame, Miami & Alabama, who makes it? What does Coach think about the Lane Kiffin situation and how can college football fix this moving forward? This weekend is conference championship weekend, so: Can Bama beat Georgia again? Which team in the Big Ten is better; Ohio State or Indiana? Is there really a chance that the ACC doesn’t get any representation in the CFP at all? :30- The Ol Judge is in the house, kind of….. - Here’s a thought, LSU might not even be a better job than Ole Miss - When Jalen Sundell gets healthy, he should play immediately, but not at center- he should replace Bradford at guard - The Mariners should trade for Brendan Donovan instead of re-signing Jorge Polanco - People need to give fruitcake another try… :45- We close out the Tuesday show with one last thing!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Each time to talk all things college football.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's just like the menu at Taco time.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
You just can't get enough.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
You just can't get.

Speaker 4 (00:08):
This is our weekly visit with Rick new Heeiseel, brought
to you buy Taco.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Time, not those new Heidels. Used to be a moniker
of mine. I mean, just so you know.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
Now on your home for college football Saturdays, here's Nacho's
new Heidel on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
R FM.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
This is college football, and I want you to get
it all over yourself.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I think I have. I think I have, Oh yet
it all over myself?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
You have?

Speaker 3 (00:36):
You still have some? Right there?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Is that?

Speaker 5 (00:38):
Right?

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Going a little crusty, hasn't it. Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
I didn't know that was there.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Thank you there all morning?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yeah yeah, I was wondering why you were licking your
thumb and trying to wipe it.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yeah face, Yeah, that'd be that'd be here. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah. Got a little bit of Ohio State, Michigan right there?
More yeah, a little bit more. Well, I'm going to
get it all up in there again this weekend for sure.
Joining us now is Rick new Aisley gives great advice,
As it turns out, our College Football Insider. Good morning, sir, Hi,
how are you boys?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
It sounds like clean up on Aisle nine. But other
than that all as well.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's hard not to get into this. I mean, I've
said it a couple of times this week. There haven't
been a lot of times in my life, and I
know college football has its issues right now, coach, but
there haven't been a lot of times in my life
where I got to Sunday and I actually felt a
little bit disappointed as what I was getting ready to
watch because there was no way to match how much

(01:37):
I enjoyed Friday and Saturday and college football. And maybe
that happens again this week. I don't know. I know
there are a lot of things going wrong with this
sport right now, but there's a whole heck of a
lot that's going right for it.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
The games deliver, there's no question about it. And in
this particular iteration the twenty twenty five season, we don't
have enough room at the end for the teams that
probably could win a national champion.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
Hmm.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
I mean, there's a number of teams that are going
to be outside looking in when the committee gets finished
with their work.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
This next Sunday.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, And I think that's part of it. There were
just like there were so many teams that had a
tournament possibility that you got to watch. It just felt
like all the games just had greater magnitude. And now
we get to Selection Sunday this week, and I hope,
I hope that they don't overreact. I mean, there are
sixteen viable teams that could be in the tournament this year,

(02:29):
but I hope they don't overreact and feel what we
have to expand it now, because as Nick Saban said
on Saturday, and I watch college basketball sex Selection show
and they have sixty eight teams, and they spend two
hours afterwards talking about the teams that didn't get in.
So it doesn't matter how big you make the tournament.
I like twelve. I want to keep it here for

(02:50):
at least for a while. Kick the tires on this thing.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I've long said that the number needs to go higher
just so that you can pay your bills. I mean,
at the end of the day, that's the reason it
will go higher. But if you're wanting competitive football and
you're wanting what we have, I just think we need
to tweak the schedules, and we need to make it

(03:18):
not as subjective in the committee room because they just
stick to wins and losses, the head to head stuff,
the the notion of you know who you played really
isn't factored in. You can't have Notre Dame ahead of Miami.

(03:38):
That makes no sense to anybody.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Give us your tweeks, go through your list of tweaks
that can fix what we look like. We're going to
be facing some potential issues.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, and you know I if you talked to Texas,
there are five teams that are going to make the
tournament from the SEC. And if you look at the
top five team in the SEC, there are two that
are seven and one and there are three that are.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Six and two.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Texas is one of those six and two teams and
they beat the other two six and two teams, but
they lost to Ohio State. The reason they lost to
Ohio State is they played Ohio State. They didn't have to,
and they're in. If we want games that are going
to be of significance in the non conference, we can't
penalize people. And yet I also understand if you didn't

(04:27):
win the game, you can't be rewarded as if you did.
So we need to have a way to actually make
standardize the non conference schedules as the NFL does, and
if we can do that, then we can get to
where we want to be. But all this arguing and
all this consternation actually is as much a part of

(04:48):
the Thanksgiving table of college football as anything.

Speaker 7 (04:52):
Well, if you're wanting to do that, incentivize people to
do what Texas did in playing Ohio State in Week one,
don't you.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Think by the way they and by the way Bucky
they lost the game fourteen to seven, they outgained them
by two hundred yards, right, I mean it just was
one of those first games that this didn't go well.

Speaker 7 (05:12):
Yeah, you just couldn't finish off some of those drives.
And so to me, it's if you're talking about it,
you know, basically you want to get to the root
of the problem.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Follow the dollar.

Speaker 7 (05:20):
You would have to think that the dollar says playing games,
having games like that to be kicking off seasons, or
having those in the first few weeks of a season,
is going to be more of a money generator than
playing against some paddy cake, you know, team that you
know you're going to blow out by fifty sixty points,
and so don't you think that the College Football and
the committee included kind of says, if we want this

(05:42):
to continue, we have to reward a team like Texas
for going out and playing that, because it's not like
they haven't. This isn't like they're a four loss team,
you know that just all of a sudden upset number
three or beat a number three team. I mean, they
have two losses in conference, and one was a bad one,
but other than that, they the other the rest of
their schedule looks like they've done fairly well.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Really well, and they've played five top ten teams. I mean,
the facts of the matter are they look like a
championship caliber team on Friday night, And as you're sitting
there going are there eleven better teams than them? Are
twelve better teams than them? The answer is probably not
based on that showing, but the fact that they lost
three games is going to knock them out. Well, they

(06:28):
lost the third game by virtue of playing a game
in Week one, which we are going to now spend
a lot of time focusing on. And yet we won't
focus on another game in Week one where Miami beat
Notre Dame because we just like Notre Dame. I don't
get that.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Will Alabama if they lose on Saturday? Are you in
the camp of I don't think they should be penalized
because they earn the right to play an additional game
and have to play Georgia second time? Or do you
think a third loss regardless of when it came, considering
how much stiff competition is there to try to get

(07:07):
into this loaded tournament, do you think that it will
cost them their spot.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Again with so many people knocking at the door. I
don't want to tell Caitlin de Bor there's no risk here.
I think there is risk, especially now. If you told
me the game was they lose by a field goal
in overtime, I think they're fine. If you tell me
they get beat like Texas got beat thirty five to ten,
even though it was fourteen to ten going to the

(07:34):
fourth quarter. I think they're in harm's way because if
BYU wins the Big Twelve Championship, they're in. Does Texas
Tech fall out? Probably not? And there is where you
could slide Alabama out. So these are the kind of things.
You know, there's a number of people pushing for Vanderbilt.

(07:58):
There's a number of people pushing for Miami. You might
solve the Miami issue with that move, right, So it
it's not a safe place to be if you're Alabama.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Are you resigned to Miami, Vanderbilt in Texas not getting
into this tournament no matter what unfolds.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I am of the mind that those three teams are
going to be very, very disappointed. The only chance they
have is a Alabama loss.

Speaker 7 (08:32):
I mean, okay, you mentioned Texas Tech. If they lose,
do they fall out? I mean I have a hard
time seeing how there really are where they are considering
I mean, they lost to what Arizona State, that's their
only loss.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
But they haven't the quarterback.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
Yeah, yeah, but they haven't really they haven't really followed like,
they haven't really beat anybody.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
I mean, they haven't really played that tough of a schedule.

Speaker 7 (08:53):
And yet they look like where they're sitting in the
rankings going into tonight and into selection Sunday, they look
like they're they maybe have a game to lose in
a championship, in the conference championship.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
They are absolutely at the top of the heat.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Defensively.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Are they blanked West Virginia this last weekend? Ohio State
is number one in the country in terms of points allowed,
Texas Tech is number three. Ohio State is number one
in yards allowed, Texas Tech is one I guess number six.
So they are unique and clearly the best team in

(09:35):
the Big Twelve defensively. So I think the reason that
they're kind of getting this kind they've just been bludgeoning
teams here of late.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, Brick new Eisa's with us our college football inside
of course, former you to have head coach and joined
us every Tuesday thanks to Taco time to get it
all over ourselves. That's how much college football is just
a beautiful mess right now. A lot of things to discuss,
and one of those things we have to just discuss
with you is Lane Kiffin. I think it is embarrassing

(10:04):
that we have all this exciting stuff going on for
college football and a prominent face in the game doesn't
think coaching in the tournament is more important than a
little extra money and a better situation for himself. Immediately,
I think he could have gotten it either way if
he just coaches out the season like we do in

(10:24):
the National Football League.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Nobody leaves before the playoffs begin.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
So I would just ask you your assessment of the
Kiffin situation and how you would fix it so that
we don't have another coach ever do this again and
make it look like the postseason doesn't mean anything.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Well, I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
That it is a tragic situation for the kids that
all miss and I don't know what will become of
their offensive staff. I know that Charlie Strong or excuse me,
Charlie White Junior got on the plane with Lane. I
don't know if he's going to help with the game planning.

(11:02):
I don't have any idea. I know Joe Judge stay,
that's the only offensive coach that stayed. And Lane may be,
you know, mad at the fact that Keith Carter, the
athletic director at Miss Mississippi, told him, you can't have
it both ways. You can't stay and finish and go
to LSU. So he might be saying to his offensive staff,

(11:24):
you can't go back either, and you know, playing that
that that kind of tough guy stuff. It's a shame
and it should never happen, and it's not hard to fix.
We just have to change the calendar. We have to
get college football to understand there are ways to do
this and what we're doing tomorrow, guys, is signing date?
That's ridiculous. Yeah, that we're having a signing date tomorrow.

(11:48):
I mean a year ago people were out on the road.
Right now, they at least figured out how to make
December dead. All we have to do is put signing
bait day back in February, move the transfer back to
the end of April early May, and you build your
team from there and that's your fiscal year begins. You
know what would be the disadvantage? The coaches would say, well,

(12:11):
then I don't get to put my team together in
this spring semester. Well, the team getting put together in
the spring semester is all well and fine, except for
those teams that are still playing they have to actually
deal with a transfer portal at the same time they're
playing for the semi finals. It's ludicrous that we can't
wait for it all to happen. And the facts of

(12:32):
the matter is, you can put your team together in
starting in May, all the way through the summer months
in anticipation of the season. It makes sense. It might
be a little bit of a concession of an offseason,
but given the amount of time hours that we're working
and kids are doing football, it might be nice to
have a little bit of off time during the winter months.

(12:53):
So I think we can fix this. I can think
we can fix it quickly and just take some people
that are committed to doing so to get in a
room and get it done.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Why are they not?

Speaker 7 (13:04):
I mean, I'm with you, it's not I mean, but
the personal issues aside from you know, just kind of
walking away.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
From the.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Athletic directors of the world want to transfer portal at
the end of the spring. They want it there. The
coaches are the ones that want to know exactly who's
on my team and have a year to build their
cultures and all that stuff. The fact of the matter is,
if we all had the same amount of time, we'd
all there'd be no disadvantage. And there's plenty of time
to get this done. And this idea that we have

(13:35):
to be three hundred and sixty five days a year
of football is nonsensical. People know how to use the
weight room, people know how to go out and build
build cultures. We can use weight rooms, and we can
have all this offseason time that it can still be productive.
It might not be as much team building, but you
know what, then kids actually can go to school. When

(13:57):
was the last time you guys heard of anybody being
acted ineligible in college football anymore?

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Don't do it.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
We don't do it anymore. We are building professional teams,
and I would like to reintroduce these kids to college.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Oh, amen, amen, preach on. Rick new Isiale is with us,
our college football insider. Well, let's get the conference championship Saturday.
I've already gone as far as saying I think George
is gonna win by ten over Alabama. How do you
see that game going?

Speaker 2 (14:26):
I'm gonna go the other way.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I think the Alabama boys believe they can beat Georgia.
They've done it time and time again. Kaylin devores two
to zero against Kirby Smart wearing the script day. I
just think he and Ryan Grebb will come up with
another plan that confounds Georgia. And as much as Georgie
has been playing great of late, and they have and

(14:50):
to be credited.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
And I still think Gunner Stockton's got an outside chance
to win the Heisman if he has a yeoman performance
in this game. I still see this team as vulnerable
without a great path rush and if you're not putting
ty Simpson on a spot. I think Ryan Grubb, Taylin
de Boor, and Ty Simpson can concoct the plan with
those great receivers that can beat Georgia.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Texas Tech has good that much better than BYU like
they showed during the regular season.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
Or will this one be at least tighter.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
I think it'll be tighter, but I still think there's
such an advantage with the Texas Tech defense that it
will not be a different outcome. I'm going to take
Texas Tech and remember the games in Arlington, Texas, so
you're gonna have a lot of Red Raider fans there.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Indiana Ohio State one versus two. Man, We've been waiting
a long time to figure out which of these two
teams is better. So you tell me before the game starts,
which of these two teams is better.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
I'm going to take Ohio State. Matt Patricia's defense and
the fact that Julian's saying is like the new Robin Hood.
I mean, he can get one hundred paces away and
take an arrow out hit an apple. I mean his
downfield accuracy is off the charts. And when you do
that with guys like Carnel Tate and Jeremiah Smith, who

(16:11):
are open more often than not. It's something to behold.
I love the Indiana story. The question is can they
stay close enough to get a bye?

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Wait, he'll say it hits puberty.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
I mean, he looks like he's six years old. Finally,
Virginia versus Duke, I mean, is there a chance that
the ACC is not going to be represented in the
tournament this year at all?

Speaker 2 (16:33):
There is a chance this tie breaking mechanism that the
ACC had and this got all the way down to
the fifth tiebreaker, which put Duke into the end of
the game, could come back to bite him. My feeling
is that if Duke wins this game, and they certainly can,
if Duke wins this game, they'll still get in as

(16:56):
the twelve seed. Because this committee is comprised of at
least half of them being athletic directors, and as at
athletic directors, they do not want to deprive the ACC
of playoff money. They just don't want to do it.
They'll see this as we can call this strength of

(17:17):
schedule and then talk out of both sides of our mouth,
as the committee is prone to do, and just say
the strength of schedule in the ACC is superior to
that of the Sun Belt, and they can keep Old
keep James Madison from getting in. That's my take.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
So am I to assume based off of your reactions
to these games that we just ripped through, I'm feeling
like your Taco Time pick of the week is the
game that I'm going against. Is that right? Is Alabama
your Taco Time pick of the week?

Speaker 3 (17:51):
No?

Speaker 2 (17:52):
I think that line is too that time line is
too close. I'm taking the Ohio State Buckeyes. Okay, all right,
I'm laying five and a half and I'm counting on
Matt to Patricia. You know, he's given up ninety three
points on the year. They're the only team of the
one hundred and thirty six FBIST teams that have given
up less than one hundred. I think Indiana sends it

(18:13):
over the century mark, but not by much.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
You know, this is a sports is such a copycat thing.
I was thinking about this in Michigan Ohio State with
Patricia on one side wing Martindale on the other. Have
they just brought the NFL sophistication defense sophistication to the
college game, and now do you think that other.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Programs are going to try to copy it.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Just try to get some NFL guy that's not quite
working at the National Football League level anymore, but his
system is more advanced than most of the college defensive coordinators.
Is that something that's real?

Speaker 2 (18:49):
I listen, what we know about college football is it
definitely is copycat and what works for one team. I mean,
look at James Madison. Bob Chesney's now going to UCLA.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah, you don't.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Think they're trying to hire Kurt Signetti again, they certainly are.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Uh and so yeah, if you see a trend happening,
you're gonna you're going to chase it. Kenny Dillingham was
the coordinator at Oregon for Dan Lanning. Arizona State's doing well.
Will Stein now on his way to Kentucky. Uh, we're
trying to catch a little lightning in a bottle and
at least we can sell that to the folks that

(19:28):
are going to supply the money for our programs.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Wow, that was a lot of ground we had to cut.
We didn't get into you, Dubbs. So we'll talk about
Jeed fish is the second year with you next week.
Thank you, sir, We appreciate it. Enjoy all the football.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
I always love it.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
See you guys all right, Rick new Ail joining us
as segment brought to you every week by Taco Ton
The Old Judge's Next Sports Radio ninety three point three
kJ rfmle Wasn't.

Speaker 8 (19:52):
I have actually said that in my head multiple times?
I'm like, no, no, Wronghole for really?

Speaker 5 (19:58):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (19:58):
You skip one week and then he I'm back, and
you're like, what's the name that we use?

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Anyway? I guess judge's name.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
I guess corn Hole's out. Buckhole's in this.

Speaker 6 (20:06):
Yeah, buck Hoole's the new cornhole. That's what all the
kids are saying.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Cornelius Buckhole.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Jacobson is with us here today, a different judge entirely.
We don't even know his code of conduct, probably strict, probably.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
Very tightly wound.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Here's how the old Judge works.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
I'm gonna bring up a few things in the judge's
court room, sports related, maybe not even sports related. Ashley
and I will discuss Whenever the judge is hurt enough,
he's gonna slam his gabble gable cabble cavell. We must
stop talking about it. And then the judge weighs in
and whatever he says.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
Goes Yeah, why don't you guys mix in a little
bit more of the stop talking when I slam my
Gable down.

Speaker 6 (20:48):
Think about it.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
We'll see about them. Okay, try to follow the rules.
I am a rule follower. All right, let's get it started.
Here's an interesting suggestion. LSU might not even be a
better job than Ole Miss going forward.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
Well, that is a I even brought that up yesterday.
I don't think it's a better job. I think it's
kind of a lateral move with where Lane Kifvin has
put the Old Miss program at right now. Plus, if
Lane Kevin stays at Old Miss, he gets all the
glory of bringing that program up, riding off into the
sunset with national championships, and keeping them as a perennial powerhouse.
And now at this point he gets he's gonna get

(21:25):
none of the credit, except for the credit he's asking
for in his LSU contract.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, you know, you know, I think the game has changed.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
A little bit.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
There's no question LSU historically, I mean, blows Ole Miss.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
Off out of the water.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
But we are also watching a college football product where
the top two Heisman Trophy candidates play it Indiana and Vanderbilt.
I'm just staring at a story that was released today.
Jared Curtis, the number two quarterback prospect in the nation,
is saying, I'm not going to Georgia, I'm going to Vanderbilt.
I'm going to Vanderbilt. Like things like history and tradition

(21:59):
don't matter as much as just what are you gonna
pay me? What are your richest alums going to pay me?
Texas Tech went from an average program to a national
power overnight because they have rich dumb oil supporting that.
I'm not sure LSU will be a better place to coach,
going Gavel Gavel Cavel.

Speaker 7 (22:19):
I don't think as of right now, it's a better place,
but I think the idea, and I don't necessarily subscribe
to this idea. Lane Kiffen might be thinking, I've done
as much as I can do. I've reached the mountaintop
of what I can do in Oxford.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
I've done. I mean, it's the best season they've ever had.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
But the game has changed. I understand the whole game
has changed.

Speaker 7 (22:42):
But if you feel like the history and the alum
said about Indiana last year, Josh, yeah, And yet if
you feel like, if I take my talent of getting
the best to the best to get out of who
it is that I bring in, and then I can
bring in more even better ingredients to work with Adam.
Then that's where I can't fault a guy for making

(23:04):
the decision that he thinks is going to be better.
One thing that I will give him is yesterday he said,
I don't know if it's.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Going to be better.

Speaker 7 (23:10):
I when I showed up here, I felt like I
made the right choice, even though it hurt to do
whatever it is that I did, and however he did it.
I'm not taking aside because I think it's it's bootleg
to bow out on your team right before the postseason.
But at the same time, I mean it's it feels
like it's an upgrade to me.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
I like the word bootleg.

Speaker 6 (23:30):
I did see.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
That's why I went, yeah, all right, number two. Oh yeah.
Jalen Sundell should be starting whenever he returns, but not
at center right guard.

Speaker 8 (23:43):
Wow, I hadn't thought about that. I just wanted him
back at center. Uh No, he needs to be back
at center.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Greg Bell said right guard. I think Greg Bell's.

Speaker 7 (23:53):
Right cavel cavil. Greg Bell is definitely right. I would
put anyone. I mean we talk about Sam Donald seeing ghosts.
Sam Orb's not Sam. Anthony Bradford tries to block ghosts,
and there's real people he should be trying to block.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
I wouldn't be seeing him if Anthony wasn't blocking him.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yeah, there was somebody else. I don't even see somebody
Anthony who.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
Blocking right there, just arms grasping it.

Speaker 7 (24:20):
Meanwhile a real person is sacking Sam Sam Donald and
causing fumble.

Speaker 8 (24:25):
Do you think when he goes to hug people he
just misses them, like he just hugging air.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Hi, Mom, I'm over here, coach. Oh, sorry, Anthony's freaking
me out. He's blocking something. Doesn't even look like a
good gift. Did they bring an extra person?

Speaker 3 (24:39):
I didn't even see it. No, that's just Anthony Sam.
You gotta remember he likes to block ghosts. I see
that people. Yeah, I blocked invisible people. It's not a
superpower next one.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
As much as I like Hojra Polonco, I think I'd
prefer to trade for a young trade for a younger veteran,
like infielder Brendan Donovan of the Cardinals during the Winter
meetings this week.

Speaker 8 (25:05):
I would like to get my hopes up to think
anything's gonna happen during the winter meetings, but it usually doesn't.

Speaker 6 (25:10):
So I would I like the idea of a younger person.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
No, I'm Flatno, I want to worry Polanco back, and
I'm not opposed to some younger player if it doesn't
work out. Yeah, but man, these rumors of what Brendan
Donovan's going to command. I saw a mock trade where
they were said Gerangelo, Saint Gi and Las Montez for

(25:36):
Brendan Donnovan for a guy that can't run or hit
for power.

Speaker 7 (25:39):
No chance, No, no, no, I mean cavel, cavel, cavel. No,
I don't if I have to trade that now, there
is something I would trade for.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
I like him, Yeah, I do too. I liked him
a couple of years ago.

Speaker 7 (25:51):
He's a guy that brings a little bit more of
the the hitting approach that I care for, where it's
not just all or nothing. It is he does care
about his batting average and you know, on base percentage,
and he's just kind of a more of a ballplayer
that said, I'm not I'm still working on Jorge Polanco.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
It wouldn't be a bad plan.

Speaker 7 (26:10):
B If Polonko decides to go elsewhere, you can't figure
out a deal to bring him back. I do like
him as a player. A couple of years ago, I
was saying, he's a guy that I wouldn't mind them
going out and getting, But that price you'd have to
pay for the trade would not be what you just said.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
No way, definitely not trade one of them.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
Yeah, I definitely not last Saintly, I'm not one hundred
percent sold on.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
I don't know why it's.

Speaker 7 (26:31):
I don't know if it's the I mean, the guy
just throw ninety plus from two sides. I should be
it's intriguing, and yet for some reason I'm not that said,
I still want to keep him around.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
And if it was just him.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Possibly because if you're a baseball player and you think
lefty reliever, lefty pitchers are weird, and now you've got
an ambidextrious one.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
And I don't even know what it's because I'm an athlete.
I was a hitter.

Speaker 7 (26:57):
He's a pitcher twice. He's like pitcher times two, so
he's got to be doubly dorky.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, I think it's more of a personal thing.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
It probably is. I don't know why I want to
like the kid, and I hope he's great. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
I don't want to trade for Brendan Donovan, uh, not
for what they're asking for.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
So hopefully we get Horror paid.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
I'd rather overpay Horror a money than overpay prospects for Donovan.
All right, final one, considering its amazing career, and we
kind of have to acknowledge it. Christmas fruitcake has to
have some merit to it. Is it time for most
people under the age of one hundred to give fruitcake

(27:38):
one more try this holiday season?

Speaker 8 (27:40):
I think fruitcake has been given plenty of tries. I
think it's been given more than its fair share of tries.

Speaker 6 (27:44):
I think we're good.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
I It's been a while since I've tried it, but
I did give it one more try, and it is terrible.

Speaker 6 (27:51):
Yeah, I want it unless you're using it as a
doorstep stop.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
It is.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
But it's been around forever.

Speaker 7 (27:57):
Yeah, there's some traditions that need to go. I'm an
old school guy. I like sticking with tradition, but that
one is a bad one. I remember my Grandma Schultz
used to make one and it was just Grandma, I
don't want it. And then when I was young, I
had to pinching my cheeks. Tell me how cute I was.
I tried it and then it was god awful.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Maybe it's been your taste buds. Do change?

Speaker 1 (28:17):
I'm wondering, Like I didn't like Brussels sprouts when I
was six.

Speaker 8 (28:22):
They're so horrible unless they're boiled, though, And that's the
problem is mostly the cook and.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
It smells like body odor. It's not good.

Speaker 6 (28:30):
Broccoli doesn't smell good.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Yeah, exactly. It doesn't taste good.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
Yeah it does.

Speaker 7 (28:34):
No, I don't like that. If there's a cake that
I don't like, it's not a good cake. Pretty good rule.
I don't think it's good. But maybe one more time. Nah,
Well you go ahead, and hey, you know what, you
are free to try as much of that crap as
you want.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
This judge is out.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
All right, one the last Thing's next Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ r F M. All right, final
segment of this Tuesday edition. I chalking them back in
the mornings, and we always do one last thing close
out a show. So let's go round the room, Bucky.

Speaker 7 (29:16):
I just want to say congratulations to Jackson Feltz.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
He hasn't texted to gloat yet, but I'm sure he's.

Speaker 7 (29:22):
Going to, because I mean, I'm not knocked out, but
I'm pretty sure I am, because I'm not sure how
the whole our little situation is, how we switched up
the final spot is by whoever scores most points.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
I'm pretty sure I'm out. I don't think I can.

Speaker 7 (29:36):
I mean, I don't think I can score enough to
overtake those that I need to. So I think I'm
out of the playoffs for this year with our KJR
one and that sucks.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
It sucks.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
You know, well, I think I'm out too, and I'm
going to finish eight and six and I don't think
I can. I have to have Chris Crawford lose and
I have to win. If that happens, I'm in. But yeah,
because we added this do a little wrinkle this year,
which I'm deeply regretting right now, because otherwise I just

(30:04):
have to win and I'd be in. But we added
this new little rule where the last playoff spot goes
to the team that doesn't qualify for the playoffs naturally
with the highest overall point total. So we actually added
a like a wild wild card.

Speaker 8 (30:21):
Yeah, oh so you would, because right now you're in
the sixth spot.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
I'm in the sixth spot. Yeah, so I would get
bumped out by the wild wild.

Speaker 6 (30:29):
Card, got it.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
So I have to pass Crawford, and he has more
points than the overall, so I have to even though
I beat him head to head soundly.

Speaker 8 (30:38):
He's already in the number five spot.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Oh yeah, I have to beat him it okay, in
order to take the five spot because I have no
shot it.

Speaker 6 (30:46):
At the last spot. Y, now it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, so we should have never done that. It was
dumb running.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
This really coming back to bite you guys in the bus.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Ashley's in. She got in, I did. She is officially
in one of three teams that has already qualified with.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
One week to go.

Speaker 6 (31:04):
It's kind of a fun feeling.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
I know everybody listening right now loves this talk. Yeah yeah, Ashley,
what's your one last thing?

Speaker 8 (31:10):
Well, you know some one of the fun parts of
my job is I get to call all of our
guests and I could have a little chat with them
before they actually go on the air, so I get
to know a little bit about what's going on in
their lives.

Speaker 6 (31:19):
And Gene and I had a fun conversation this.

Speaker 8 (31:21):
Morning because they got about five inches of snow there
in Pennsylvania overnight and his wife has the day off
and he has the day off. So he said he
took his tractor out and the driveways really tractor. Yeah,
I thought the exact same thing. We said that the
driveways really long. He got that plowed, and now they're
going to hang out at home. They're going to get

(31:41):
the golf simulator out later today. They have all the
curtains open. They're going to golf simulate in the house
with the snow all around him and have drinks.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (31:51):
And I was like, that sounds like the most perfect day,
and I'm so incredibly jealous of you.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Well he is just like he pretty much was just
like reading your mind. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:59):
I was like, fly me there.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
I am me there. Sound fun, right?

Speaker 1 (32:06):
You and five Iron could hang out with Jean and
missus Sterotor.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Yeah, Oh she's great.

Speaker 8 (32:12):
Well, And because here's the thing too, you think about it,
how often is that you is it that you just
get a random day off with your significant other, like
you usually have to schedule it right, And she didn't
have to go into work, I think because of the snow.
So they just get the day off to hang out together.
If we had that happen, five Iron works upstairs.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
He can make the commute.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
I scheduled days away from my sing.

Speaker 6 (32:34):
Well that's true, you do, yeah, but you're different. How
far away?

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (32:44):
Not far Now.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
I will close with this.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
We didn't get to it today.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
I do want to do it tomorrow a little bit,
just kind of putting a recap on year number two
of the Jedfish era. There's some really strange things about
this Jedfish to your run because in some ways, man,
I'm surprised at how good he is at certain things
and how he seems to really be knocking them out

(33:11):
of the park. And then there are some other areas
where I'm.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Like, I thought you were better at.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
This, And so I've got some real fish issues some fishes.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
So I want to.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Do a segment tomorrow and talking about fishes that we
have to close out year number two.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Of the Jedfish rain perfect.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Not sure how I feel about it though.

Speaker 6 (33:30):
Okay, Well, I'm excited to have that conversation.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Yeah, it has been interesting. I'm glad that he won
exactly eight games. That's good.

Speaker 6 (33:38):
Yeah, I think I picked that, didn't they?

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Now?

Speaker 8 (33:42):
Man?

Speaker 6 (33:42):
That I picked nine, not eight.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yeah, nine, they almost.

Speaker 8 (33:48):
You were saying, Oh, that's right, because then they won
a different one. I lost a different one.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Somebody's got to win that green jacket for our college
football prediction yet one. But it's one of the worst
showings we've ever had as a group. Bucky's actually close
to all of them, which I give him a yeah
ton of credit for because you and I particularly couldn't
have been further real bad, Yeah, real bad.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Yeah, so very choking.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
I have actually had some secret information, oh, guarding the.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
