Speaker 3 (01:29):
It probably started yesterday already started continuing into today. They
top golfed yesterday.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
So my son's actually a pretty doll going good golfer man,
the younger one. So they went to golf have a
good time doing that.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Did you bring Monsy? Well?

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Mancy? Might be we might need to retire that?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
All right? So you guys want to hear John Caspary
bitch about uh about a situation that's currently going on
in college basketball. He recruited me cal party did Where
was he?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Then? You mass?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
That was when he had us cambi in. Yeah, they
had that year, that magical year they practiced on our court.
He came there because his his head coach was my
head coach. His college head coach was my high school
head coach, and they were recruiting me. So they brought
the team there to practice. He came and gave us
a great speech.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So, yeah, got recruited by coach cal Bob Huggins.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Who else John Thompson.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Hell yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about me.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I had a few Villanova recruited me. I had a
few few teams. You know that I just stopped growing,
that's all, you know, that was the problem. I would
have had to become a real basketball player if I
was going to play basketball. It's too short to just
use talent.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
So that's wild too, because how sorry you like six
four six six four six four, it's like six y
three just under six four, right.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
It's just funny though that like you're like this, yeah,
but this is the way you're saying it, Like I'd
have to become a real basketball player, which you know.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
For most people like I just I don't know. I
think you were better than most.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I had a vertical I could jump. I think what
had people confused is I was getting rebounds over guys
that were like six nine, six ten. But it's only
because I could move quicker. You know, the taller they were,
the slower they were, and I beat I beat quads up,
elbowed quads, So you didn't get off the ground as quick,
(03:39):
didn't move as quick. I was like a rockman. I
was a work guy. I was gonna run, run, run, run,
use my quicks off.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
The court too.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Absolutely, Yeah ruined me. Basketball ruined me. Football saved me.
Basketball ruined me. It's a different level of clout when
you play basketball. Man, I ain't gonna lie to you
like I was on the circus, you know, a bro.
I was on the travel circuit and that that iso
(04:07):
very different than football.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Bob Huggins showed you the row.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
So hey, brouh, it's very different from football. I don't
know why, like I was considered to be way handso
murder being a basketball player than I was a football player.
But it is what it is. It's still all worked
out so well.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I mean, the good news is you could probably go
back and play now based on I got one year,
based on what we've seen. So we talked about this
a little bit yesterday on our show.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yes Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
James Naji, who was a former NBA draft pick. He
was the thirty first overall pick. I believe in twenty
twenty three, he's with Baylor. Now he has now gone
back and he's playing with Baylor, and so some people
have not been thrilled about what he's going on. Yeah,
it's the whole things wild. You got European players that
(04:56):
are coming in that are all it just none of
it makes any sense. And John Calipari decided, you know what,
somebody's got to speak up. Let me be the guy.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Well, look, I don't blame coaches. You know, I've got
friends that are playing with twenty seven year olds and
they feel bad. I said, don't feel bad. We don't
have any rules. Why should you feel bad? But let
me give you this real simple. The rules bees the rules.
So if you put your name in the draft, I
(05:27):
don't care if you're from Russia and you stay in
the draft, you can't play college basketball. Well that's only
for American kids. What if your name is in that
draft and you got drafted, you can't play cup because
that's our rule. Yeah, but that's only for American kids. Okay, okay,
(05:48):
Now here's the next lawsuit. Well, we don't have a
say over European players. You do if they're playing in
college basketball. So that means you don't have a say
over high school kids. So whatever a high school kid
does before he comes here, don't you do one thing
because there's a suit, Because what you're saying is if
(06:10):
he's in Europe, we don't have the same rules. Does
anybody care what this is doing for seventeen and eighteen
year old American kids? Do you know what this opportunity
has done for them and their families? There aren't gonna
be any high school kids who other than dumb people
like me are going to recruit high school kids. I
(06:31):
get so much satisfaction out of coaching young kids and
seeing them grow and make it and their family life
changes that I'm gonna keep doing it.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
But why would anybody else?
Speaker 6 (06:42):
If you can get NBA players, G League players, guys
that are twenty eight years old, guys from Europe?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Do we really know their transcript? Do we have somebody
over there? Do we really know their birth certificate?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
So that was John Calipari, let it be own his
feelings on the situation involving guys returning to college basketball
late into their twenties with eligibility still remaining in the
NBA draft. Charlie Baker, the NCAA president, He responded with
a statement, on Tuesday that said, quote, the NCAA is
(07:17):
not and will not grant eligibility to any perspective or
returning student athletes who have signed an NBA contract, including
a two way contract. Calipari was on ESPN last night
and said, well, they're moving the goalpost now because now
it's if you haven't signed a contract, you can't come back.
But when before it was if you are in the
(07:37):
draft and you get drafted, that's it.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
And and they're saying that because of their legal expertise
that someone's provided Charlie Baker, that they feel like they
can say that and not get sued because every time
the NCAA has gone, you know, up against the judicial system,
they've lost. This is an inflection point for college sports,
(08:01):
and it's one of the reasons like why on our
show on two Pros, I've continually talked about this with
you guys in regards to everything kind of seems up
in the air, and basketball has been further ahead because
there's been this whole you know, at first you could
just leave right from high school and go to play
professional basketball, and then it came back in with the
one undone and John Calipari was one of the first
(08:23):
to really embrace that and embody that, but even allowing
that to take place was a step closer to completely
disregarding the educational component and the developmental component. And there's
elements of that that are still at play in college
(08:44):
football right now, and that's brought forth by the transfer
portal because that's now become big business. So I say
it's an inflection point for college sports in general right
now because we've almost looked at trying to like, in
a way private ties this whole experience for young people
(09:05):
and what this experience means. It used to mean development,
It used to mean getting an education.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It used to mean, you.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Know, graduating with a degree, a platform, a network, and
a foundation, where after you were rewarded with that, you'd
move on into the private sect or you'd potentially be
lucky enough to be one of the one to two
to three percent, depending on the sport, to play professionally.
But at some point that ends. And now we've looked
at it's completely different. We're like, well, wait a second,
(09:34):
these players should be compensated, and yet we haven't had
anyone come up with a structure that allows both things
to work where they can be compensated, yet at the
same time, we can still keep the educational component there
for them. So there's something for these young men and
women when they get done with their playing careers to
(09:57):
fall back on to then go search for whatever that
next is.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
That's the tough part.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
About this whole conversation is as much as we want
to make light of it and joke about it, there
is a lot of people who are impacted at the
high school level moving into college that are having opportunities
taken away from people who already had that opportunity and
they weren't good enough. And I'll even go as far
as saying this the NCAA whimping out with how many
(10:23):
eligibility waivers they've granted for a lot of players who
are now playing, you know.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Six seven years of college football.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It's the same thing that same players taking up a
high school players roster spot and his opportunity to crack
into you know, onto the field and play and make
his impact.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
But it's all because it's become big business. Now. I
hate it where it's at.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I understand why it's where it is, and I'm not
like arguing for you know, student athletes not to be compensated,
but there does need to be a reckoning where someone
comes and saves the day. And I'm sorry, I'm just
not a believer that the federal government is going to
do it, even though it feels like every time Charlie
Baker speaks he's begging Congress to step in and give
(11:10):
them some sort of anti trust protection.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
I think it's a it's a tremendously large conversation that
Kyler Perry opened because there are a lot of unknowns
there are, and there are a lot of different different
ways of doing things and different ways of seeing things.
And that's by sport. I mean, it's it's touched into
now the gender conversation. You don't even you know, need
(11:38):
to go down that road right now, but I mean
that is a conversation that's out there as well. You know,
people's ability to compete and where they're competing at. You
know that those lines have been now been crossed and
have been blurred, and those conversations are ensuing. But you know,
by sport, you're talking about people that are you know
(11:59):
when they say to Euros, you know it costs more,
it costs more to bring European players here to play
for one, it costs more, and a lot of times
they go straight from from high school to pro There
is no light, there is no system set up the
way it's set up here in America. And so if
(12:23):
you're if you are living and dying by going after
that that what you would call experience and trying to
bring that here to be able to compete and win
in the certain sports that exists.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, you're you're right.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
It is going to hurt what takes place with high
school kids and developmental situations because you're not looking to
develop kids. It's so interesting, we'll say, We'll hear coaches
say it's all about the development, it's all about the development.
But you you go into their practices, whether it's football,
whether it's basketball, baseball, hockey, whatever you choose the sport.
(12:57):
A lot of times when you go to these colleges,
they are not doing focused development periods like they used to.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
They're not.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
They get straight into it, they go right to it.
No real development. And for what it's worth. The one
thing that you mentioned Q that really is kind of
becoming a scarcity is the educational component of it. You
don't hear people speak on education. It's almost like the
(13:30):
nil phase of where we are in college athletics has
almost muted the conversation of how important education is in
this scenario because most of the vast majority of these
people will have to find a job post college career,
(13:51):
the vast, vast, vast majority of them. And so now
what are we doing. We're not only not preparing them
to be able to compete, because we want them to
be ready made to compete. Come in ready made. If
you're not ready to go, then I'm going.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
With who is?
Speaker 5 (14:11):
But now you're also talking about those the expectations have
have really really dowed in on what your obligations and
your duties are to your team, to your team, and
it only becomes an issue with your grades when your
grades are an issue, right, it's not. It's not, oh,
(14:33):
you didn't go to class, okay, like you're going to
get in trouble for that. They have rules to govern like,
you know, going to class and getting grades, but it's
really not going to be a focal point until you've
done something that gets you in trouble, you get bad grades,
you're not going to class, whatever it may be. But
it's not a main focal point of what's taking place.
(14:57):
So I look at it like there's such as such
a large conversation because the way we look at things.
Yet you go, you enter your name into the draft,
you can't come back. That's how I always thought it was,
and I thought that is what it was.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I think it was when you signed with an agent.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
But yeah, when you when you signed with I thought
it was when you declare it for the draft.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I don't know. And if you got drafted whatever it is,
well for for basketball, excuse me?
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Right, Okay, So so again across sports, if you think
about it, you can get drafted in hockey and still
they go play. You can get drafted in baseball and
still go play. You can be a pro in volleyball
and still go play, you know what I mean. So
it's like so many different different, uh you know, ways
(15:40):
of how things are done by sport. It's this is
going to be a very very difficult conversation to like
come up with solutions for.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Let me play Devil's advocate to you, Jonas in this situation,
because wouldn't you look at this and just say, well,
isn't that isn't.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
This how it's supposed to be done?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Like don't you go to college, if you're a student
to then figure out what you want to do, how
are you gonna make money when.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
You get out?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
And if student athletes have already been able to do
that at the college level, then yeah, I think we
understand the long term impact or the long term risks
that are involved if you don't get your degree. But
if you're making money while you're doing that, Like, isn't
that the entire goal?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
And I look at it, and I've said this to
you guys before, it doesn't feel like this is college
sports anymore. It's this in between gray area between college
and professional to where they're selling you the illusion of well,
it's college and it's a college experience and it's this
and it's that.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
But there's money. There's a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
There's influence, there's agents, there's like all of these things
that are that are now being factored into it. That's
professional Like, that's pro sports. Like that's what you deal
with at the pro level. And I don't begrudge any
of them, because yes, like that is the goal. You
go to college to find out what's my next step?
What do I want to do in life? And they've
(17:04):
figured this out and they're just like John Caliparty said
it in the clip. He said, look, I got friends
that are you know, kind of feel bad. I mean,
I would you know, question that how bad they actually feel. Yeah,
they've got twenty seven year olds on there on the table.
But John Calparty's like, well, look, don't feel bad. We
don't have any rules. There's nothing to govern all this.
(17:26):
And so there is also.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
That John's the moral compass.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well, and that's the other thing too, Like you know,
he made it a point, you know, to let everybody know, hey, listen,
I recruit this way.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
He's self plugged. He definitely shamelessly plugged.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
He was. He was one of the first guys that
went one and done all the way through. I mean,
Brady knows his time in Kentucky, John Caliparty's time there.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Bring it up now.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
So he's like he's I mean, look, he's one of
the he's a Hall of Fame recruiter.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Now what he's done with some of those teams.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
A little disappointed as far as the development, but again,
you well, when you only have one year to make
it work to your point, levard it's tough like that,
and I think that's one of the issues too. With
even looking at like college football, where you've got to
be outle of high school for three years before your
draft eligible. But nowadays coaches instead of looking at a
(18:16):
guy that gets there in high school and maybe he
has to put on twenty thirty pounds and maybe you
has to learn how to play the position or learn
their scheme and then and then adapt to you know,
the challenges of being like a maturing adult with your
time management, being away from home, all that stuff. You know,
Now they just go, well, that guy's not ready, We're
going to find some of the transfer portal that's right,
and they bring in a guy who they've seen on
(18:38):
film can do the things that they're looking for. And
again that's NFL, that is free agency. That is exactly
what's happening. And it's important too because you know, not
it's not happening in college quite as much because there's
so much money with somebody his head coaching positions, so
the buyouts are too big. But you know, as far
as being a one and done coach, but there's elements
(19:00):
of I think for players and families and the frustration
of not getting the development they're hoping for, at least
at some places like I don't want to speak for
everyone because everyone's you know, there's different schools that I
think do it right, and I think there's you know,
unique circumstances that are involved in some of this always.
But for football, for sure, because it's such a developmental sport.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You know, there's guys who their bodies changed dramatically.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
And for basketball, it's a little bit different because there
they've always been on the fast track. They identify kids
in junior high as you talked about when you're on
that AAU circuit and you're one of those dudes like
Cooper Flag.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
People knew about Cooper Flag for forever ago, now.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Have you that's everybody and that And that's a great point,
and I know we're up on it, but don't you
think it now has to start earlier, like we have
to like the way we approach athletics has to be
looked at differently now. And it's interesting because it's something
that I'm working on. I'm actually going to be teaching
at Penn State upcoming semester. You have to learn teach.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Arrington. You're not going to be you're being Professor Arrington.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
And part of writing the curriculum too, and you got
to move there.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Yeah, I know it has to It has to be
a coming of uh of terms that extracurricular needs to
be thrown out for sports. We've been brainwashed to look
at sports as extra curricular. But there's so many opportunities
that exist in sports, from agents to money managers, to
(20:40):
legal representation, to the athlete themselves, to marketing and branding
and advertising. There's so many opportunities that exist in the category.
We have to stop segregating, separating athletics from amics. And
(21:01):
I think that that's the biggest thing. We have been
brainwashed from day one to think that everything else is
more important.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Go to school, what do you do?
Speaker 5 (21:10):
You take your classes, and then when you're done with school,
then you go do the extracurricular things like playing a sport,
the sport that you're playing for. You have to there
has to be a understanding that the training, the development,
the preparation of how you're how you're being educated at
(21:34):
the younger levels has to become I think it has
to become more of a focal point. And I know
we see these different schools that are like an IMG.
You know, you see it at these different places that
have the money and the resources to do it. But
there has to be a different approach to how we
view athletics moving forward as this NIL era continues to grow.
(21:56):
Because it's impacting the high school level, it's impacting, it's.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Impacting middle school.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Like youth athletics is being impacted by the in il
and and so to me, there's a preparation that isn't
taking place. And to be educated as kids, to be
educated as.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Parents, as adults. They don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
When you guys were in high school, do you remember
taking a finance class?
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Yes, I learned how to write checks, I learned how
to balance my check work.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I learned how to do all those things. But it
was it was well standing.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah, the simple stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
There should be something to Hey, you're gonna have a
lot of money coming your way at a really young age.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Let us teach you what it could be.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Now it could be now, like make that part of
the requirement if you want. You've got to learn how
this works. So at least you've given them the tools.
If they don't use it, that's fine, but at least
you've given them the opportunity to learn.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
And and then I think that's part of some of
the curriculum. Now, that's that's inherent to every nil program
and every school and the college level, you know, as
far as high school. It's kind of it's it's tough
to do that because you're really talking about like the
one point one percent. It's such a small population that
falls in this category.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
I mean even across that.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Will go pro, that will go pro, sure, But but
the idea of understanding the business of sport, that's everybody.
That's that's all, and they should have the opportunity to
be educated that way. Somebody that that played with you
on the football team could have been a part of
your business unit moving forward through school.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You know, they could have been the person that.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Was making sure that your your branding was was correct.
Like what is Brady Brady's brand? We're going to make
sure that brand is built and pronounced. What what is
he doing financially? Like is he able to generate modeling
gigs and stuff like that?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
He's got the meat wagon, come on whatever?
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Who but think about it, his best friends are his
best friends and they're still buddies from high school.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
The role doing anything to help this process.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
There's a role for everybody is what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
And if that role is carrying the bags and it
might be carrying the bags and meat wagon, your your back.
We're people too, bro, I'm with you on that. Don't
let them hold you down, man, just be who you are.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
But I'm just.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Saying there is the idea that the educating of what
sport represents it should not be looked at as extracurricular.
You know, we don't look at you preparing to be
a scientist as being extracurricular. We don't look at you
being an architect or a lawyer as being extracurricular.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
So let's look.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
At something that is a tremendous fabric of what our
culture and our society is, which is sports, and make
it more of a focal point so that we can
actually have prepared parents and student athletes that are more
enlightened and understanding what the landscape presents. People don't even
(24:50):
know what NIL is. Still to this day, ask some people.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
About what NIL is. They wouldn't be able to tell
you what it is.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
So educating them at an earlier age get parents on
the same page at an earlier age for both those
who will continue on to be pros and those who
will continue on to be students. I might have been
a really really good football player and a basketball player
at the high school level. I'm not going to make
it at the college level, but I still want to
(25:18):
be a part of that sport. You're now giving them
opportunities as well. You're opening up the gates to having
people be more empowered with the changing landscape of what
sports represents.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Now.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
That's to me, I feel like that's what's grossly missing
in America because they don't play that. In Europe, they
don't play that. If you are good, they come get
you and you're out of there. You're already it's already
what it is. But here we don't do that. In fact,
we frown on it. If we give if we give
benefits and favoritism to elites in athletics, it's frowned upon,
(25:57):
and people try to find rules to govern in it
and keep them from doing it. I've seen more than
enough kids get, you know, suspended for seasons because they
wanted to go play out of school where there was
better coaching or better exposure or better education.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
On what it is that they're they're trying to do.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
There's always a roadblock that we're putting up to try
to block the idea of forwarding sports.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
And I don't understand that that it has to change
at this point.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, I think part of that curriculum should be radio
formatics as well. By the way, for over forty years,
ty rack has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and what thatve ship fast and freeback
by free road has a protection with convenient installation options
like multile tire installation tire rack dot com the way
tire buying should be look at the time. By the way,
coming up next here we are going to have their

addition of Quinn's Wins as we get you set for
the college football playoffs and it's yours here ont FSR.

Speaker 7 (27:06):
Yeah, as everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award
winning Polly and Tony Foodsco Show. Yeah, but instead of
us telling you how great we are, here's how Dan
Patrick described us when he came on our.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Show, quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated. What do you doing?
We were interrupting our promo.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Yeah, it wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Let me put this into context. Shut up.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
Anyway, just listening to the Paully and Tony Fosco Show
on iHeartRadio, Apple podcasts oherever you get your podcasts, yee.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
It's a Dan Patrick show. Here on Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas knock with you in for
Dan and the guys. Coming up, we are going to
do something we do on our weekday show. We hand
out awards here. It's the good, the bad, and the ugly.
We'll get to those again here about fifteen minutes from now.
You know, we wanted to let you know that there's
an opportunity to make a little bit of cash, right,
(28:04):
a little bit of cash, and if you're not part
of that one percent that Brady and LeVar were referring
to when talking about themselves in the world of sports,
here's how you can do it because feeding off the
success of our college basketball bracket challenge each March, we
decided to do a bracket challenge for the college football Playoff.
That's right, baby. With eight teams left standing in the
college football Playoff, its bracket challenge time. Compete against our
(28:27):
Fox Sports Radio host like us and against fellow listeners
to see who has the best college football Playoff bracket.
Here's how you do it. You play for your chance
to win one thousand dollars by visiting Foxsports Radio dot
iHeart dot com to register again foxsports Radio dot iHeart

Speaker 3 (29:03):
And with that we give you this. I'm a winner winning.
Here's all illnesses it really does. I'm going to win.
It's Quinn's wins.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
That's right, abbreviated a version of this. So let's just
get right into it. We are what a game or
two above five hundred I think for the year. Well, look,
he was on, he was on when he was excited
about that the last conversation.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Let's kick things off though, in the quarteral quarter final rounds.
We're gonna talk about the bowl games that matter the most,
and we've got a big one later on this evening
six thirty or seven thirty pm Eastern. Excuse me, Miami
taking on Ohio State. Miami obviously, with their close win
over Texas and m in the first round, take it
on the Buckeyes team that yes, lost in the Big
(29:50):
Ten championship, however, still got a buy is still the
number two overall seed, and they are favored by nine
and a half points. Jonas, keep me honest in these lines, correct.
I know there's always some movement. I see this one
being closer than the experts think. There's a lot of
money too that's holding up this line at nine and
a half on the Miami side of things. But this
is a team that's I think been overlooked a bit
(30:10):
this season, and partly because the inconsistent quarterback played by
Carson Beck. However, they've got playmakers all around. Mark Fletcher
Junior the running back. He can tote the rock. This
offensive line is massive for Miami and they've done a
really good job at providing running lanes but also providing
protection to Beck this season.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
And then Malachai TONI keep an eye on him. He'll
move him around all over the field.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
He's just a legit playmaker as a freshman, and he's
helped kind of create some big moments for this team
throughout the course of the season. On the flip side,
Messador and Rubin Bank two of the best edge rushers.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
In college football. Two guys are going to hear their
names called really early in next year's draft.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
They're going to be tough to deal with for this
Ohio State offensive line, which, again, when you really look
at this Ohio State team, I asked the question earlier,
who's the best quarterback they faced all year? Probably Mendoza.
It's probably fair to say that might have been the
best offense they faced. And even though it was a
low scoring game, tight game, one in which Ohio State
could have very well won, they didn't.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
In the end, I think this is another lower scoring game,
tight game, don't.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
I think nine and a half points is too much,
so I'm gonna take the nine and a half points.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I do think the Buck guys move on to win
this game.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Though, so that's my first pick is Miami plus the
nine and a half points in that matchup.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Next up, we'll talk about the.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Orange Bowl tomorrow at noon Eastern Oregon laying two and
a half points. Last time I looked Jonas versus Texas Tech.
This Oregon team reminds me a bit of Ohio State
last year, where you know, I remember Ohio State didn't
make it a Big Ten championship game. It was Oregon
who ran the table. It was Oregon who got the
buy and then Oregon who subsequently last year in the
playoff got blown out by Ohio State. But this team
(31:51):
is really it has all the pieces. My only concern
is whether or not Texas Tech can run the football
effectively to create some of the balance and really expose
The only issue I've seen this year for Morgan's defense
is their ability to stop the run. They've got the
playmakers to rush on the edges. They've got the secondary too.
I think they get turnovers. It just comes down to
(32:11):
if Texas Tech wants to play Boy Ball and if
they have enough balance they were running the football. But
Dante Moore could be making a case for being the
number one overall pick after this year. If he decides
to leave school, I've got him as one of the
top quarterbacks, if not the top quarterback as we head
into the draft.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I just think there's too much talent on Oregon, too
much speed. It's been a great year for Texas Tech.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
I do think this will be another close game, but
only the two and a half points here with Oregon.
Next up Georgia taking on Old Miss Georgia laying six
and out points.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Jonas, is that still the line that's correct?
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Georgia has continually improved as the season has gone on.
If you're an SEC fan and you're looking like you
always do to root for one team of your conference
and then claimants the conference dominance, it would be get
behind Georgia.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Gunnar Stockton's been somewhat of a playmaker.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
They found more of a balanced rushing attack, and defensively,
they're one of the best defenses in the country. I
think this is where the road stops for Old Miss.
Triudadad Chambliss has had a tremendous season. Old Miss is
at a tremendous season. They really haven't been challenged though
they only played four teams with winning records this year.
That excludes, obviously their Round one win vers Tulane, which
again not really much of a challenge. We already saw
(33:19):
that game earlier this season. That was arguably one of
their best wins of the year, so this is a
completely different challenge. I think Old miss would be outclassed Georgia.
You laid the six and a half points and they
move on. Finally, last game is I'm looking through my notes,
Why am I blanking Alabama?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Indiana?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
There we go Alabama, danam my goodness.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
The number one team in the country is IU and
they've exceeded all expectations this year and just winning the
Big Ten, running the table, beating Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
If there was any.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Questions or concerns about what this team's capable of doing,
they've won in a variety of ways. They stomped an
Illinois team that was ranked in the top twenty at
that point in time three to ten. They beat who
was looked at as the best team all season in
Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Down the stretch.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
They've won a dramatic fashion versus a good Penn State
team on the road. Yes, and I understand, you know,
people will take issue with that, but I still think
Penn State is a better team. People give them credit,
but this isn't a challenge I think.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
For IU where they I just.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Don't trust them in the trenches to be able to
compete with Alabama throughout the course of the game.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Even though Alabama was.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Elected not to really want to run the football, I
do think they're going to have to have a little
bit more balance if they want to beat Indiana. But
Simpsons played phenomenal. Ryan Williams is a tough matchup Jeremy Bernard.
They've got playmakers on the outside that are tough to
keep up with. This Alabama defense has improved. I'm not
even saying they win this thing outright. I wouldn't be
surprised if they do. But I am taking the points
(34:50):
in Alabama. I think a touchdown, which last time I
checked it was at seven points, is a seven to
seven half, still seven.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
I would take the seven points and Bama. I think
this is another tighter game.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Which, mind, you go through Indiana season when if they
played a good team and it hasn't been a tight
game if you include Iowa in that conversation, tight game.
We talked about the end of game heroics versus Penn State.
We talked about the end of game heroics versus Ohio
State in the Big Ten Championship game. Outside of the
Illinois game, most of their big games have been tight.
So this is one where I think it's it's too
(35:21):
big of a number. Alabama's too talented in certain spots
that can create an issue, and I do think Obama
keeps within the number. So take the seven points here
and the Crimson tie.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I'm talking about right there, baby.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Yeahs oh oh, we brought it back.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
There was an effort made.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
We got it, ladies and gentlemen. Geez, Mark, just trying
to like that, Mark, Mark, you got to turn your
phone off when you're doing the show. What's wrong with you?
I know, with an accident, you know, talking to people.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
You know, it gets in the way of works. The toys. Damn.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
By the way, I did put together a little parlay
on DraftKings based on the Quinns wins. So Miami plus
nine and a half, Oregon minus two and a half,
Georgia minus six and a half, Alabama plus seven. If
you bet ten dollars on that, you're gonna win just
a little bit over one hundred and twenty six. All right,
so ten bucks wins you one hundred and twenty six.
(36:26):
And if you want to get real risky and real frisky,
a thousand wins you twelve hundred and sixty three dollars
or one hundred bucks wins you twelve hundred and sixty about.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yeah, that's not worth a thousand. Don't do that.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
You're doing it here. A thousand would bring you back
twelve grand. So listen, there's there's opportunities out there. I
think I'm gonna four leg it. What do you think
about that? LaVar always three legs, and I'm gonna face.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
I'm comfortable with my three legs. Hey, yo, what what
talking about? Parlay?
Speaker 6 (36:59):
And?
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Yeah? Which game are you not betting in that?
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Parlad? So are you saying that my Texas Tech to
go to the to go to the championship is feels
like a real long shot?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Yeah, I don't see it.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
I mean the teams I feel most confident in winning
it obviously, Ohio State, Georgia and Oregon. Those three, from
what I've seen this year, are the most consistent and
the most balanced. They're the most depth, and I think
they're playing some really good football. So look, I understand
again not putting Indiana, who's gone undefeated, is the number
one team in.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
The country, is part of the conversation.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
And by the way, I hope they proved me wrong
because they have overachieved.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
They have constantly surprised us.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
It's just being on the field man and seeing that
team and how they match up physically versus even Ohio
stateyed the Big Ten Championship. There's a sense of like
surprise and just kind of in awe of what Kurt
Signetti and his staff and those players have been able
to accomplish because they do not look like the rest
of the teams who are at least still in the
College Football Playoff. When you see the size, the athleticism,
(38:04):
the length, and you compare it to Indiana, it's just
it feels still like a Cinderella story, even though I
think they've proven to be more than that now and
doing what they've done this season. And so look, in
my heart, I'm rooting for them. I just I guess
I got to see it to believe it. And I'm
one hundred percent okay with that, and I one hundred
percent would love to see them prove me wrong, and
(38:27):
and look that numbers at seven points. It seems like
a lot, but the people who make these lines tend
to know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
It is radio format.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Is the Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Sorry,

Brady Sheriff Queen. You're ready. Oh yeah, that's easy for me.
Speaker 4 (40:43):

talk like Notre Dame tried to avoid them, and meanwhile,
they can't beat a team that doesn't even have their
starting quarterback in TCU guy through six.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Pass attempts last night.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
So yeah, I'll say that's the bad is SC and
where the program's at right now and trying to take
shots at everyone else after they released a joint statement,
but then just you know, going rogue again, doing their
own thing.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
All right, I like it, I'll like it.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
It probably started yesterday already started continuing into today. They
top golfed yesterday.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
So my son's actually a pretty doll going good golfer man,
the younger one. So they went to golf have a
good time doing that.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Did you bring Monsy? Well?
Speaker 5 (01:44):

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Mancy? Might be we might need to retire that?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
All right? So you guys want to hear John Caspary
bitch about uh about a situation that's currently going on
in college basketball. He recruited me cal party did Where
was he?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Then? You mass?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
That was when he had us cambi in. Yeah, they
had that year, that magical year they practiced on our court.
He came there because his his head coach was my
head coach. His college head coach was my high school
head coach, and they were recruiting me. So they brought
the team there to practice. He came and gave us
a great speech.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So, yeah, got recruited by coach cal Bob Huggins.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Who else John Thompson.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Hell yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about me.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I had a few Villanova recruited me. I had a
few few teams. You know that I just stopped growing,
that's all, you know, that was the problem. I would
have had to become a real basketball player if I
was going to play basketball. It's too short to just
use talent.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
So that's wild too, because how sorry you like six
four six six four six four, it's like six y
three just under six four, right.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
It's just funny though that like you're like this, yeah,
but this is the way you're saying it, Like I'd
have to become a real basketball player, which you know.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
For most people like I just I don't know. I
think you were better than most.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
I had a vertical I could jump. I think what
had people confused is I was getting rebounds over guys
that were like six nine, six ten. But it's only
because I could move quicker. You know, the taller they were,
the slower they were, and I beat I beat quads up,
elbowed quads, So you didn't get off the ground as quick,
(03:39):
didn't move as quick. I was like a rockman. I
was a work guy. I was gonna run, run, run, run,
use my quicks off.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
The court too.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Absolutely, Yeah ruined me. Basketball ruined me. Football saved me.
Basketball ruined me. It's a different level of clout when
you play basketball. Man, I ain't gonna lie to you
like I was on the circus, you know, a bro.
I was on the travel circuit and that that iso
(04:07):
very different than football.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Bob Huggins showed you the row.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
So hey, brouh, it's very different from football. I don't
know why, like I was considered to be way handso
murder being a basketball player than I was a football player.
But it is what it is. It's still all worked
out so well.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I mean, the good news is you could probably go
back and play now based on I got one year,
based on what we've seen. So we talked about this
a little bit yesterday on our show.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yes Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
James Naji, who was a former NBA draft pick. He
was the thirty first overall pick. I believe in twenty
twenty three, he's with Baylor. Now he has now gone
back and he's playing with Baylor, and so some people
have not been thrilled about what he's going on. Yeah,
it's the whole things wild. You got European players that
(04:56):
are coming in that are all it just none of
it makes any sense. And John Calipari decided, you know what,
somebody's got to speak up. Let me be the guy.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Well, look, I don't blame coaches. You know, I've got
friends that are playing with twenty seven year olds and
they feel bad. I said, don't feel bad. We don't
have any rules. Why should you feel bad? But let
me give you this real simple. The rules bees the rules.
So if you put your name in the draft, I
(05:27):
don't care if you're from Russia and you stay in
the draft, you can't play college basketball. Well that's only
for American kids. What if your name is in that
draft and you got drafted, you can't play cup because
that's our rule. Yeah, but that's only for American kids. Okay, okay,
(05:48):
Now here's the next lawsuit. Well, we don't have a
say over European players. You do if they're playing in
college basketball. So that means you don't have a say
over high school kids. So whatever a high school kid
does before he comes here, don't you do one thing
because there's a suit, Because what you're saying is if
(06:10):
he's in Europe, we don't have the same rules. Does
anybody care what this is doing for seventeen and eighteen
year old American kids? Do you know what this opportunity
has done for them and their families? There aren't gonna
be any high school kids who other than dumb people
like me are going to recruit high school kids. I
(06:31):
get so much satisfaction out of coaching young kids and
seeing them grow and make it and their family life
changes that I'm gonna keep doing it.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
But why would anybody else?
Speaker 6 (06:42):
If you can get NBA players, G League players, guys
that are twenty eight years old, guys from Europe?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Do we really know their transcript? Do we have somebody
over there? Do we really know their birth certificate?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
So that was John Calipari, let it be own his
feelings on the situation involving guys returning to college basketball
late into their twenties with eligibility still remaining in the
NBA draft. Charlie Baker, the NCAA president, He responded with
a statement, on Tuesday that said, quote, the NCAA is
(07:17):
not and will not grant eligibility to any perspective or
returning student athletes who have signed an NBA contract, including
a two way contract. Calipari was on ESPN last night
and said, well, they're moving the goalpost now because now
it's if you haven't signed a contract, you can't come back.
But when before it was if you are in the
(07:37):
draft and you get drafted, that's it.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
And and they're saying that because of their legal expertise
that someone's provided Charlie Baker, that they feel like they
can say that and not get sued because every time
the NCAA has gone, you know, up against the judicial system,
they've lost. This is an inflection point for college sports,
(08:01):
and it's one of the reasons like why on our
show on two Pros, I've continually talked about this with
you guys in regards to everything kind of seems up
in the air, and basketball has been further ahead because
there's been this whole you know, at first you could
just leave right from high school and go to play
professional basketball, and then it came back in with the
one undone and John Calipari was one of the first
(08:23):
to really embrace that and embody that, but even allowing
that to take place was a step closer to completely
disregarding the educational component and the developmental component. And there's
elements of that that are still at play in college
(08:44):
football right now, and that's brought forth by the transfer
portal because that's now become big business. So I say
it's an inflection point for college sports in general right
now because we've almost looked at trying to like, in
a way private ties this whole experience for young people
(09:05):
and what this experience means. It used to mean development,
It used to mean getting an education.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It used to mean, you.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Know, graduating with a degree, a platform, a network, and
a foundation, where after you were rewarded with that, you'd
move on into the private sect or you'd potentially be
lucky enough to be one of the one to two
to three percent, depending on the sport, to play professionally.
But at some point that ends. And now we've looked
at it's completely different. We're like, well, wait a second,
(09:34):
these players should be compensated, and yet we haven't had
anyone come up with a structure that allows both things
to work where they can be compensated, yet at the
same time, we can still keep the educational component there
for them. So there's something for these young men and
women when they get done with their playing careers to
(09:57):
fall back on to then go search for whatever that
next is.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
That's the tough part.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
About this whole conversation is as much as we want
to make light of it and joke about it, there
is a lot of people who are impacted at the
high school level moving into college that are having opportunities
taken away from people who already had that opportunity and
they weren't good enough. And I'll even go as far
as saying this the NCAA whimping out with how many
(10:23):
eligibility waivers they've granted for a lot of players who
are now playing, you know.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Six seven years of college football.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It's the same thing that same players taking up a
high school players roster spot and his opportunity to crack
into you know, onto the field and play and make
his impact.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
But it's all because it's become big business. Now. I
hate it where it's at.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I understand why it's where it is, and I'm not
like arguing for you know, student athletes not to be compensated,
but there does need to be a reckoning where someone
comes and saves the day. And I'm sorry, I'm just
not a believer that the federal government is going to
do it, even though it feels like every time Charlie
Baker speaks he's begging Congress to step in and give
(11:10):
them some sort of anti trust protection.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
I think it's a it's a tremendously large conversation that
Kyler Perry opened because there are a lot of unknowns
there are, and there are a lot of different different
ways of doing things and different ways of seeing things.
And that's by sport. I mean, it's it's touched into
now the gender conversation. You don't even you know, need
(11:38):
to go down that road right now, but I mean
that is a conversation that's out there as well. You know,
people's ability to compete and where they're competing at. You
know that those lines have been now been crossed and
have been blurred, and those conversations are ensuing. But you know,
by sport, you're talking about people that are you know
(11:59):
when they say to Euros, you know it costs more,
it costs more to bring European players here to play
for one, it costs more, and a lot of times
they go straight from from high school to pro There
is no light, there is no system set up the
way it's set up here in America. And so if
(12:23):
you're if you are living and dying by going after
that that what you would call experience and trying to
bring that here to be able to compete and win
in the certain sports that exists.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, you're you're right.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
It is going to hurt what takes place with high
school kids and developmental situations because you're not looking to
develop kids. It's so interesting, we'll say, We'll hear coaches
say it's all about the development, it's all about the development.
But you you go into their practices, whether it's football,
whether it's basketball, baseball, hockey, whatever you choose the sport.
(12:57):
A lot of times when you go to these colleges,
they are not doing focused development periods like they used to.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
They're not.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
They get straight into it, they go right to it.
No real development. And for what it's worth. The one
thing that you mentioned Q that really is kind of
becoming a scarcity is the educational component of it. You
don't hear people speak on education. It's almost like the
(13:30):
nil phase of where we are in college athletics has
almost muted the conversation of how important education is in
this scenario because most of the vast majority of these
people will have to find a job post college career,
(13:51):
the vast, vast, vast majority of them. And so now
what are we doing. We're not only not preparing them
to be able to compete, because we want them to
be ready made to compete. Come in ready made. If
you're not ready to go, then I'm going.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
With who is?
Speaker 5 (14:11):
But now you're also talking about those the expectations have
have really really dowed in on what your obligations and
your duties are to your team, to your team, and
it only becomes an issue with your grades when your
grades are an issue, right, it's not. It's not, oh,
(14:33):
you didn't go to class, okay, like you're going to
get in trouble for that. They have rules to govern like,
you know, going to class and getting grades, but it's
really not going to be a focal point until you've
done something that gets you in trouble, you get bad grades,
you're not going to class, whatever it may be. But
it's not a main focal point of what's taking place.
(14:57):
So I look at it like there's such as such
a large conversation because the way we look at things.
Yet you go, you enter your name into the draft,
you can't come back. That's how I always thought it was,
and I thought that is what it was.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I think it was when you signed with an agent.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
But yeah, when you when you signed with I thought
it was when you declare it for the draft.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I don't know. And if you got drafted whatever it is,
well for for basketball, excuse me?
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Right, Okay, So so again across sports, if you think
about it, you can get drafted in hockey and still
they go play. You can get drafted in baseball and
still go play. You can be a pro in volleyball
and still go play, you know what I mean. So
it's like so many different different, uh you know, ways
(15:40):
of how things are done by sport. It's this is
going to be a very very difficult conversation to like
come up with solutions for.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Let me play Devil's advocate to you, Jonas in this situation,
because wouldn't you look at this and just say, well,
isn't that isn't.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
This how it's supposed to be done?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Like don't you go to college, if you're a student
to then figure out what you want to do, how
are you gonna make money when.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
You get out?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
And if student athletes have already been able to do
that at the college level, then yeah, I think we
understand the long term impact or the long term risks
that are involved if you don't get your degree. But
if you're making money while you're doing that, Like, isn't
that the entire goal?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
And I look at it, and I've said this to
you guys before, it doesn't feel like this is college
sports anymore. It's this in between gray area between college
and professional to where they're selling you the illusion of well,
it's college and it's a college experience and it's this
and it's that.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
But there's money. There's a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
There's influence, there's agents, there's like all of these things
that are that are now being factored into it. That's
professional Like, that's pro sports. Like that's what you deal
with at the pro level. And I don't begrudge any
of them, because yes, like that is the goal. You
go to college to find out what's my next step?
What do I want to do in life? And they've
(17:04):
figured this out and they're just like John Caliparty said
it in the clip. He said, look, I got friends
that are you know, kind of feel bad. I mean,
I would you know, question that how bad they actually feel. Yeah,
they've got twenty seven year olds on there on the table.
But John Calparty's like, well, look, don't feel bad. We
don't have any rules. There's nothing to govern all this.
(17:26):
And so there is also.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
That John's the moral compass.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well, and that's the other thing too, Like you know,
he made it a point, you know, to let everybody know, hey, listen,
I recruit this way.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
He's self plugged. He definitely shamelessly plugged.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
He was. He was one of the first guys that
went one and done all the way through. I mean,
Brady knows his time in Kentucky, John Caliparty's time there.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Bring it up now.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
So he's like he's I mean, look, he's one of
the he's a Hall of Fame recruiter.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Now what he's done with some of those teams.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
A little disappointed as far as the development, but again,
you well, when you only have one year to make
it work to your point, levard it's tough like that,
and I think that's one of the issues too. With
even looking at like college football, where you've got to
be outle of high school for three years before your
draft eligible. But nowadays coaches instead of looking at a
(18:16):
guy that gets there in high school and maybe he
has to put on twenty thirty pounds and maybe you
has to learn how to play the position or learn
their scheme and then and then adapt to you know,
the challenges of being like a maturing adult with your
time management, being away from home, all that stuff. You know,
Now they just go, well, that guy's not ready, We're
going to find some of the transfer portal that's right,
and they bring in a guy who they've seen on
(18:38):
film can do the things that they're looking for. And
again that's NFL, that is free agency. That is exactly
what's happening. And it's important too because you know, not
it's not happening in college quite as much because there's
so much money with somebody his head coaching positions, so
the buyouts are too big. But you know, as far
as being a one and done coach, but there's elements
(19:00):
of I think for players and families and the frustration
of not getting the development they're hoping for, at least
at some places like I don't want to speak for
everyone because everyone's you know, there's different schools that I
think do it right, and I think there's you know,
unique circumstances that are involved in some of this always.
But for football, for sure, because it's such a developmental sport.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You know, there's guys who their bodies changed dramatically.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
And for basketball, it's a little bit different because there
they've always been on the fast track. They identify kids
in junior high as you talked about when you're on
that AAU circuit and you're one of those dudes like
Cooper Flag.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
People knew about Cooper Flag for forever ago, now.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Have you that's everybody and that And that's a great point,
and I know we're up on it, but don't you
think it now has to start earlier, like we have
to like the way we approach athletics has to be
looked at differently now. And it's interesting because it's something
that I'm working on. I'm actually going to be teaching
at Penn State upcoming semester. You have to learn teach.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Arrington. You're not going to be you're being Professor Arrington.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
And part of writing the curriculum too, and you got
to move there.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Yeah, I know it has to It has to be
a coming of uh of terms that extracurricular needs to
be thrown out for sports. We've been brainwashed to look
at sports as extra curricular. But there's so many opportunities
that exist in sports, from agents to money managers, to
(20:40):
legal representation, to the athlete themselves, to marketing and branding
and advertising. There's so many opportunities that exist in the category.
We have to stop segregating, separating athletics from amics. And
(21:01):
I think that that's the biggest thing. We have been
brainwashed from day one to think that everything else is
more important.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Go to school, what do you do?
Speaker 5 (21:10):
You take your classes, and then when you're done with school,
then you go do the extracurricular things like playing a sport,
the sport that you're playing for. You have to there
has to be a understanding that the training, the development,
the preparation of how you're how you're being educated at
(21:34):
the younger levels has to become I think it has
to become more of a focal point. And I know
we see these different schools that are like an IMG.
You know, you see it at these different places that
have the money and the resources to do it. But
there has to be a different approach to how we
view athletics moving forward as this NIL era continues to grow.
(21:56):
Because it's impacting the high school level, it's impacting, it's.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Impacting middle school.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Like youth athletics is being impacted by the in il
and and so to me, there's a preparation that isn't
taking place. And to be educated as kids, to be
educated as.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Parents, as adults. They don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
When you guys were in high school, do you remember
taking a finance class?
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Yes, I learned how to write checks, I learned how
to balance my check work.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I learned how to do all those things. But it
was it was well standing.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah, the simple stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
There should be something to Hey, you're gonna have a
lot of money coming your way at a really young age.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Let us teach you what it could be.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Now it could be now, like make that part of
the requirement if you want. You've got to learn how
this works. So at least you've given them the tools.
If they don't use it, that's fine, but at least
you've given them the opportunity to learn.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
And and then I think that's part of some of
the curriculum. Now, that's that's inherent to every nil program
and every school and the college level, you know, as
far as high school. It's kind of it's it's tough
to do that because you're really talking about like the
one point one percent. It's such a small population that
falls in this category.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
I mean even across that.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Will go pro, that will go pro, sure, But but
the idea of understanding the business of sport, that's everybody.
That's that's all, and they should have the opportunity to
be educated that way. Somebody that that played with you
on the football team could have been a part of
your business unit moving forward through school.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You know, they could have been the person that.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Was making sure that your your branding was was correct.
Like what is Brady Brady's brand? We're going to make
sure that brand is built and pronounced. What what is
he doing financially? Like is he able to generate modeling
gigs and stuff like that?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
He's got the meat wagon, come on whatever?
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Who but think about it, his best friends are his
best friends and they're still buddies from high school.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
The role doing anything to help this process.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
There's a role for everybody is what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
And if that role is carrying the bags and it
might be carrying the bags and meat wagon, your your back.
We're people too, bro, I'm with you on that. Don't
let them hold you down, man, just be who you are.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
But I'm just.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Saying there is the idea that the educating of what
sport represents it should not be looked at as extracurricular.
You know, we don't look at you preparing to be
a scientist as being extracurricular. We don't look at you
being an architect or a lawyer as being extracurricular.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
So let's look.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
At something that is a tremendous fabric of what our
culture and our society is, which is sports, and make
it more of a focal point so that we can
actually have prepared parents and student athletes that are more
enlightened and understanding what the landscape presents. People don't even
(24:50):
know what NIL is. Still to this day, ask some people.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
About what NIL is. They wouldn't be able to tell
you what it is.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
So educating them at an earlier age get parents on
the same page at an earlier age for both those
who will continue on to be pros and those who
will continue on to be students. I might have been
a really really good football player and a basketball player
at the high school level. I'm not going to make
it at the college level, but I still want to
(25:18):
be a part of that sport. You're now giving them
opportunities as well. You're opening up the gates to having
people be more empowered with the changing landscape of what
sports represents.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Now.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
That's to me, I feel like that's what's grossly missing
in America because they don't play that. In Europe, they
don't play that. If you are good, they come get
you and you're out of there. You're already it's already
what it is. But here we don't do that. In fact,
we frown on it. If we give if we give
benefits and favoritism to elites in athletics, it's frowned upon,
(25:57):
and people try to find rules to govern in it
and keep them from doing it. I've seen more than
enough kids get, you know, suspended for seasons because they
wanted to go play out of school where there was
better coaching or better exposure or better education.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
On what it is that they're they're trying to do.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
There's always a roadblock that we're putting up to try
to block the idea of forwarding sports.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
And I don't understand that that it has to change
at this point.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, I think part of that curriculum should be radio
formatics as well. By the way, for over forty years,
ty rack has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and what thatve ship fast and freeback
by free road has a protection with convenient installation options
like multile tire installation tire rack dot com the way
tire buying should be look at the time. By the way,
coming up next here we are going to have their

Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 2 (27:31):

get right into it. We are what a game or
two above five hundred I think for the year. Well, look,
he was on, he was on when he was excited
about that the last conversation.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Let's kick things off though, in the quarteral quarter final rounds.
We're gonna talk about the bowl games that matter the most,

over Texas and m in the first round, take it
on the Buckeyes team that yes, lost in the Big
(29:50):
Ten championship, however, still got a buy is still the
number two overall seed, and they are favored by nine
and a half points. Jonas, keep me honest in these lines, correct.
I know there's always some movement. I see this one
being closer than the experts think. There's a lot of
money too that's holding up this line at nine and
a half on the Miami side of things. But this
is a team that's I think been overlooked a bit
(30:10):
this season, and partly because the inconsistent quarterback played by
Carson Beck. However, they've got playmakers all around. Mark Fletcher
Junior the running back. He can tote the rock. This
offensive line is massive for Miami and they've done a
really good job at providing running lanes but also providing
protection to Beck this season.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
And then Malachai TONI keep an eye on him. He'll
move him around all over the field.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
He's just a legit playmaker as a freshman, and he's
helped kind of create some big moments for this team
throughout the course of the season. On the flip side,
Messador and Rubin Bank two of the best edge rushers.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
In college football. Two guys are going to hear their
names called really early in next year's draft.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
They're going to be tough to deal with for this
Ohio State offensive line, which, again, when you really look
at this Ohio State team, I asked the question earlier,
who's the best quarterback they faced all year? Probably Mendoza.
It's probably fair to say that might have been the
best offense they faced. And even though it was a
low scoring game, tight game, one in which Ohio State
could have very well won, they didn't.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
In the end, I think this is another lower scoring game,
tight game, don't.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
I think nine and a half points is too much,
so I'm gonna take the nine and a half points.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I do think the Buck guys move on to win
this game.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Though, so that's my first pick is Miami plus the
nine and a half points in that matchup.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Next up, we'll talk about the.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Orange Bowl tomorrow at noon Eastern Oregon laying two and
a half points. Last time I looked Jonas versus Texas Tech.
This Oregon team reminds me a bit of Ohio State
last year, where you know, I remember Ohio State didn't
make it a Big Ten championship game. It was Oregon
who ran the table. It was Oregon who got the
buy and then Oregon who subsequently last year in the
playoff got blown out by Ohio State. But this team
(31:51):
is really it has all the pieces. My only concern
is whether or not Texas Tech can run the football
effectively to create some of the balance and really expose
The only issue I've seen this year for Morgan's defense
is their ability to stop the run. They've got the
playmakers to rush on the edges. They've got the secondary too.
I think they get turnovers. It just comes down to
(32:11):
if Texas Tech wants to play Boy Ball and if
they have enough balance they were running the football. But
Dante Moore could be making a case for being the
number one overall pick after this year. If he decides
to leave school, I've got him as one of the
top quarterbacks, if not the top quarterback as we head
into the draft.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I just think there's too much talent on Oregon, too
much speed. It's been a great year for Texas Tech.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
I do think this will be another close game, but
only the two and a half points here with Oregon.
Next up Georgia taking on Old Miss Georgia laying six
and out points.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Jonas, is that still the line that's correct?
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Georgia has continually improved as the season has gone on.
If you're an SEC fan and you're looking like you
always do to root for one team of your conference
and then claimants the conference dominance, it would be get
behind Georgia.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Gunnar Stockton's been somewhat of a playmaker.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
They found more of a balanced rushing attack, and defensively,
they're one of the best defenses in the country. I
think this is where the road stops for Old Miss.
Triudadad Chambliss has had a tremendous season. Old Miss is
at a tremendous season. They really haven't been challenged though
they only played four teams with winning records this year.
That excludes, obviously their Round one win vers Tulane, which
again not really much of a challenge. We already saw
(33:19):
that game earlier this season. That was arguably one of
their best wins of the year, so this is a
completely different challenge. I think Old miss would be outclassed Georgia.
You laid the six and a half points and they
move on. Finally, last game is I'm looking through my notes,
Why am I blanking Alabama?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Indiana?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
There we go Alabama, danam my goodness.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
The number one team in the country is IU and
they've exceeded all expectations this year and just winning the
Big Ten, running the table, beating Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
If there was any.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Questions or concerns about what this team's capable of doing,
they've won in a variety of ways. They stomped an
Illinois team that was ranked in the top twenty at
that point in time three to ten. They beat who
was looked at as the best team all season in
Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Down the stretch.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
They've won a dramatic fashion versus a good Penn State
team on the road. Yes, and I understand, you know,
people will take issue with that, but I still think
Penn State is a better team. People give them credit,
but this isn't a challenge I think.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
For IU where they I just.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Don't trust them in the trenches to be able to
compete with Alabama throughout the course of the game.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Even though Alabama was.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Elected not to really want to run the football, I
do think they're going to have to have a little
bit more balance if they want to beat Indiana. But
Simpsons played phenomenal. Ryan Williams is a tough matchup Jeremy Bernard.
They've got playmakers on the outside that are tough to
keep up with. This Alabama defense has improved. I'm not
even saying they win this thing outright. I wouldn't be
surprised if they do. But I am taking the points
(34:50):
in Alabama. I think a touchdown, which last time I
checked it was at seven points, is a seven to
seven half, still seven.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
I would take the seven points and Bama. I think
this is another tighter game.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Which, mind, you go through Indiana season when if they
played a good team and it hasn't been a tight
game if you include Iowa in that conversation, tight game.
We talked about the end of game heroics versus Penn State.
We talked about the end of game heroics versus Ohio
State in the Big Ten Championship game. Outside of the
Illinois game, most of their big games have been tight.
So this is one where I think it's it's too
(35:21):
big of a number. Alabama's too talented in certain spots
that can create an issue, and I do think Obama
keeps within the number. So take the seven points here
and the Crimson tie.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I'm talking about right there, baby.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Yeahs oh oh, we brought it back.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
There was an effort made.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
We got it, ladies and gentlemen. Geez, Mark, just trying
to like that, Mark, Mark, you got to turn your
phone off when you're doing the show. What's wrong with you?
I know, with an accident, you know, talking to people.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
You know, it gets in the way of works. The toys. Damn.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
By the way, I did put together a little parlay
on DraftKings based on the Quinns wins. So Miami plus
nine and a half, Oregon minus two and a half,
Georgia minus six and a half, Alabama plus seven. If
you bet ten dollars on that, you're gonna win just
a little bit over one hundred and twenty six. All right,
so ten bucks wins you one hundred and twenty six.
(36:26):
And if you want to get real risky and real frisky,
a thousand wins you twelve hundred and sixty three dollars
or one hundred bucks wins you twelve hundred and sixty about.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yeah, that's not worth a thousand. Don't do that.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
You're doing it here. A thousand would bring you back
twelve grand. So listen, there's there's opportunities out there. I
think I'm gonna four leg it. What do you think
about that? LaVar always three legs, and I'm gonna face.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
I'm comfortable with my three legs. Hey, yo, what what
talking about? Parlay?
Speaker 6 (36:59):
And?
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Yeah? Which game are you not betting in that?
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Parlad? So are you saying that my Texas Tech to
go to the to go to the championship is feels
like a real long shot?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Yeah, I don't see it.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
I mean the teams I feel most confident in winning
it obviously, Ohio State, Georgia and Oregon. Those three, from
what I've seen this year, are the most consistent and
the most balanced. They're the most depth, and I think
they're playing some really good football. So look, I understand
again not putting Indiana, who's gone undefeated, is the number
one team in.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
The country, is part of the conversation.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
And by the way, I hope they proved me wrong
because they have overachieved.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
They have constantly surprised us.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
It's just being on the field man and seeing that
team and how they match up physically versus even Ohio
stateyed the Big Ten Championship. There's a sense of like
surprise and just kind of in awe of what Kurt
Signetti and his staff and those players have been able
to accomplish because they do not look like the rest
of the teams who are at least still in the
College Football Playoff. When you see the size, the athleticism,
(38:04):
the length, and you compare it to Indiana, it's just
it feels still like a Cinderella story, even though I
think they've proven to be more than that now and
doing what they've done this season. And so look, in
my heart, I'm rooting for them. I just I guess
I got to see it to believe it. And I'm
one hundred percent okay with that, and I one hundred
percent would love to see them prove me wrong, and
(38:27):
and look that numbers at seven points. It seems like
a lot, but the people who make these lines tend
to know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
It is radio format.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Is the Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Sorry,

starting quarterback in TCU guy through six.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Pass attempts last night.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
So yeah, I'll say that's the bad is SC and
where the program's at right now and trying to take
shots at everyone else after they released a joint statement,
but then just you know, going rogue again, doing their
own thing.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
All right, I like it, I'll like it.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
