00:01:17
Speaker 5: Oh good?

00:01:18
Speaker 4: What do I not sound good?

00:01:20
Speaker 6: No?

00:01:20
Speaker 3: You sound great?

00:01:21
Speaker 7: Well, you don't sound like you normally sound though.

00:01:24
Speaker 4: No, No, I explain that I'm on vacation. I'm actually in the desert here in a rancho mirage right now. I'm actually in the Pump Desert area because I'm driving to yoga. So I'm very happy to be joining you guys and happy New Year. And I have been listening to the show while you guys have been doing your your excellent work the last few days.

00:01:50
Speaker 5: Oh wow, thanks thanks pe.

00:01:53
Speaker 7: I got to ask you after last night's outcome. I'll live in that any fobs.

00:02:02
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, my father asked me at halftime while I was at dinner with my family and my daughter was throwing to fit because it was Baja Tuesday at the club and they didn't have any other food available other than Mexican food, which I guess she doesn't like because she was very upset and it was a struggle, and my dad asked me at halftime, what I think was going to happen what I thought was going to happen in the game, and I told him that I thought I was going to be a back and forth event all the way down the stretch. Even though USC was playing against a walk on quarterback. I know they had a few guys opting out as well, but that was a walk on cornerback. And he led TCU to victory over USC with their all world quarterback by Ava and obviously the tackling in the fourth corner of the inability to end the game on offense and hold on to the ball and run the ball when you need to run on the ball. I mean, you guys saw the same thing. You guys watch USC all the time. It's the same old story, an unorganized team, a special teams penalty. I talked to Daniel Teremiah. He made the point on on Twitter that their best receiver, the only guy that was making plays, was not in on the third down and overtime wasn't even in the game, and they had a giant noseguard, like a three hundred and fifty pound guy with a three man rush on third and twenty who doesn't need to be on I mean, just disorganize overall uninspiring mediocrity, which you've come to expect from the Lincoln Riley USC teams.

00:03:47
Speaker 5: See, so where did they go from here? Then?

00:03:51
Speaker 8: Then Petro's I mean, obviously we've we've been having extended conversations about the whole doing away with the rivalry game.

00:03:59
Speaker 5: Between YEA and USC.

00:04:01
Speaker 8: Then you see a game like this take place with USC, and like, how does that, I mean, does that have any bearing on the conversation like where you go from here?

00:04:11
Speaker 4: Like?

00:04:11
Speaker 8: Are people going to pony up money and say, okay, we want to go in a different direction?

00:04:15
Speaker 5: Then what's going on with what we got going on now?

00:04:17
Speaker 8: Or do you stay right in the same space that you're in because maybe it's not affordable or fiscally sound to try to move into a different a different place in your you know, in your school's history.

00:04:31
Speaker 4: A big though, I think if Brady made the point the other day, I think if USC really had the money, they would buy out Lincoln Riley and stop trying to convince themselves that they're with uh, somebody that's really special as the head coach and allow that guy to manipulate the schedule the way he has and to basically embrace mediocrity, and I realized the USC teams I played on were mediocre and maybe even less than that. But we didn't embrace mediocrety. We went and played the schedule and thought of ourselves as a high standard football team where the bar is very high at a place, and our coaches got fired when we didn't win. And I don't really know where they go from here, Levarn To be honest, I think they kind of think further into mediocrity. We haven't seen any other evidence. They occasionally will win a big game that gives the fans a little bit of hope, but they always seem to regrets to the mean, which is what you've seen from Lincoln Riley over the years.

00:05:45
Speaker 2: Is this the I don't know. I don't know if the beginning of the end is the right term for it. But if you know, the manipulation of the schedule so you you know, have an easier schedule and you're not having to deal with you know, notre Dame any longer, and then him coming out and placing blame on or Dame if they go into next year and they're not a playoff team again, like does did this maybe fast track the conversation about ar Well, maybe he's not the guy. Maybe we do need to make some changes and move forward in a different direction.

00:06:16
Speaker 4: Well, when they lost a bunch of games and Caleb Williams was the quarterback in year two, that was probably the biggest red flag. And then it just kind of dissipated from there. And I got to say the stuff I saw on Twitter where you guys were talking about it, and Brady made his points about the Big ten and Lincoln Riley. Oh wait, there's an ambulance going by. There's a lot of ambulances in the desert. One of these days I'll be in one. Uh.

00:06:45
Speaker 5: There's a lot.

00:06:48
Speaker 4: Of old people out here.

00:06:51
Speaker 5: Thank somebody on their way to the outer beyond. Huh.

00:06:54
Speaker 4: I don't know. It seems to be I think it's going to pick somebody up. It's gonna have to turn around and go to the eye somehow. A metal you know that. I've visited family members at the Betty Ford that's out here, and you would never know where the Betty Ford is. It has such a little sign, you know, the very famous Betty Ford rehab.

00:07:19
Speaker 8: And I never heard of it until today. I was today years old when I heard of it, But now no Betty four clinic.

00:07:25
Speaker 4: Jonas, have you ever heard of Betty of course?

00:07:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Betty Ford Clinic.

00:07:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been there.

00:07:30
Speaker 3: It's a visitor. It's filled with quitters, not a fan.

00:07:34
Speaker 4: Well, it's like one hundred and twenty degrees and people are wearing sweatshirts and shiver and smoking cigarettes outside. Crazy. Anyway, I couldn't have said it any better than the way Brady spoke about the pr campaign that USC has tried to launch and used a couple of their key figures of social media to help do so, and trying to pile on the whole Notre Dame thing and find a way to wriggle out of this. Just because they have a head coach who has been as disappointing and much more expensive than Clay Helton, that doesn't want to play Notre Dame. They've allowed this to dissipate and it's I cannot believe it again. I walk around just in shock of how this situation deteriorated to the point where we're going to have USC football players in the next two years probably beyond that that are not going to be able to take the field against Notre Dame and I don't care about Mexico City or that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You play in South Bend and you play in the coliseum. That's what the rivalry is about. So I am disgusted. I'm absolutely disgusted. I know that I didn't win a Heisman or really wasn't even that great of a back or whatever. I've had a long time radio show and voice or whatever doing this job, and I've never been so shocked and disappointed in the outcome of the situation in my life. It's an absolute travesty what's happening at USC and I think it's pretty obvious to most people.

00:09:21
Speaker 3: Wow.

00:09:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I want to kind of talk more big picture. I mean I would just quickly say this. I mean, look, I was someone who during Meyer there, I mean, didn't beat Ess and I think to think that, regardless of the outcome of the game, just not to have the opportunity to play in such a game. I mean, I'll be honest with you. I hate the fact that notre name is to play Michigan anymore. That game meant as much to me as any because I almost went to Michigan. You know that was one of my final schools I looked at, and so even that rivalry going away, which I know it's coming back in the future for Notre Dame, but I hated seeing that. So all of these going away. It's unfortunate because to your point, you know, you don't have the opportunity as a player to compete in it, to have the feeling that that game feels because they do it does feel different, and to create a legacy off that. I think that's the thing that bothers me the most is when you've got guys who've won a Heisman or guys who jerseys are retired, who pander to the idea of not playing that game when their legacy is built off of it. That's what probably bothers me the most is it sounds selfish like they don't want the other players who follow them to have that same opportunity. But we talked about this early and I don't know if you've heard us talking about the comments from John Kyler Parry and really in relation to college basketball, but when you look at what's happening and guys who have gotten drafted in the NBA and have played in professional leagues in Europe, and all that. I think in college basketball it might be more egregious with what's happening than even college football, which has its own issues. Do you kind of look at this and just say, like, this entire thing is messed up, like someone has to intervene to fix it. Otherwise we're headed down a road where I don't think it's good for any of the people that are involved.

00:11:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the ball kind of started rolling down the hill with nil, and we all had mixed feelings about it because one of the great things about a college locker room is there's not a number next to everybody's name. Well, you got a guy like LeVar Arrington whose locker is next to you, you might recognize that he's a little different from you. But at the same time, that was one of the magical things about college football. But we also wanted to see the money. We've seen a lot of money being generated over the years, and we wanted to see that money go to some of the guys that are at risk and the guys that are generating in the guys whose jerseys they're selling. So all of that kind of sort of happened simultaneously with the television contracts becoming gigantic, and the telemo vision companies starting to take control of where the NCAA probably used to be, kind of jumping into that power vacuum. And the transfer portal of course, became a big part of this, and a lot of these programs have just absolutely become not as recognizable. I mean, look at Indiana, sometimes in a good way, but I think the ball started rolling as a pebble down a hill, and now, yeah, we're headed. We're headed in an unsustainable direction, I guess I would say, is where we're going when you have a guy like Kenny Dillingham, who's a great coach and a very charismatic guy, and hey, you just need to stroke a check as if it's some kind of a you know, twenty million dollar check. Just there's somebody here in Arizona to stroke a check for us for twenty million dollars. And the one thing they don't tell you is, okay, twenty million dollars. Is he going to do it again next year? Is he going to do it again in twenty twenty seven, Is he going to do it again in twenty thirty or she? I mean, it's just not a sustainable situation and none of us want to look at what's underneath the iceberg because everybody on the TV side and at the universities is making a lot of money, and the players are making money where they never made money before. So people are happy with the money in their pocket, and I think they're turning a blind eye to the direction we're heading in, which is off a cliff.

00:13:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, where did the impact the way? Good? John?

00:13:36
Speaker 2: No, I was just going to where does the term stroke a check? Where does that land for you? As far as amongst your favorite used by a coach in recent memory.

00:13:46
Speaker 4: My favorite thing that a coach ever said to me was an air raid coach sadly on the Bronx side of an air raid team that had Pat Mahomes as the quarterback. So in Texas Tech they had a d defensive coordinator. Uh and he said to and they were losing, you know, half their games, scoring fifty points a game and giving up fifty one. And the defensive coordinator was very sad, and he said, all we need is three stops, and we can't get them.

00:14:22
Speaker 5: You gotta start with one before you get down.

00:14:26
Speaker 4: Something like to win, all we need is three stops. Every kendah.

00:14:33
Speaker 7: I think I know which coach you're referred to as well, which if it's who? I think it was one of the all time great production meeting interviews. Ever, is he not the best?

00:14:47
Speaker 4: He's up there with the UTSA guy. That trailer is pretty epic, but really all we need, Yeah, he's great, All we need is three stops and we can't get him. I would say is still number one. Uh? Stroke a check is top fan though, because just how asinine? Hey, all you got to do is you know somebody out here is going to stroke a check for twenty million dollars? How much do you even make it a year, Kenny? Like twenty million dollars.

00:15:18
Speaker 5: A few coins? It's absurd? Does this does this impact the way?

00:15:24
Speaker 8: Does this impact the way you're going to watch this year's Are you going to watch this year's college football playoffs? And how does it like, how does all of this conversation that we're talking about does it impact you at all? Or do you not even give a down while you're watching the game? Like do you just enjoy the game? Sometime I find it hard to enjoy just watching a game because we talk about so many things that are connected to it.

00:15:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, uh. You know, it's kind of made the season crappy in a way because and it's not your fault, LeVar, but the biggest story of the season was was started with James Franklin, so get it. You know, when he gets fired, we stop talking about the field and we started talking about the coaching carousel, and you know then that bleeds into Notre Dame versus Miami versus h versus USC. I mean, we've had you know, when we have the games, we talk all this stupid crap because the sport is so messed up all year round, and then when we finally have the games, we still are too distracted by the off the field stuff to really appreciate the teams and the playoffs. That being said, the transfer portal makes it kind of hard to know who's on what team. You know, we used to watch these guys like you and Brady, you know, Carson Palmer play year in and year out and develop as their career went on, and we don't really have that luxury anymore. The coaches that retain people and that's a new college football word, but the coaches that retain people seem to be the ones that have post success if they have a healthy program. But no, I mean I watch because I have to watch and because I have to talk about it, and I don't really have anything else to do. And I enjoy Look. I enjoyed the obscure games just because if you know somebody playing, or you're familiar with somebody, then it's enjoyable to watch. And I enjoyed the bigger games too. Sometimes I have to mute the announcers a lot of the time, but other than that, I watch it with a relatively enthusiastic eye.

00:17:40
Speaker 2: I would say, is there anything about college football Petros before we let you go that you wish got more attention that was talked about, more so than some of the negative stuff that people tend to focus on.

00:17:54
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I've always said this, and I can't really think of anything off the top of my head other than cactus at Arizona where they stick the football on it, you know, when they get it turnover. That's pretty good. I don't think we talk about I don't think we talk enough about that.

00:18:13
Speaker 7: Thes yeah, I like, yeah, but I think they actually take your football if they pick it off, like let's saying.

00:18:23
Speaker 4: And I think they stick your ball and then pay you the sixty bucks or whatever it is, you know after the game.

00:18:29
Speaker 5: Pretty that's kind of fire.

00:18:30
Speaker 4: That's like, that is my That's a pure speculation, but I think it should be talked about more. Uh. But the other thing I would say is college football has always been this way, and I've always described it this way. It's a big cauldron of a lot of things. A lot of people of great character and a lot of the opposite of that, and a lot of people with the right agenda to help others and to be a servant to others, and then a lot of people that are servants to themselves and themselves only. And I've always said that the sport, my father has always said that the sport doesn't create virtue, but it reveals it out on the field when you watch. There's inspiring things to see on every play. There really is. So I mean, I think that's the part of it that we might have lost a little bit in these conversations. But then again, in the modern era you get the Arizona turnover cactus. So it's all sets and gutters.

00:19:36
Speaker 7: Petros last one for me, the most overrated holiday on the calendar.

00:19:42
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know, Yeah, I don't like New Year's Eve because I don't like a day where, you know, the finger is pointed at you and you're expected to have a good time, you know what I mean? Like I don't like that, like where you're told, like you better have a good timer. You suck, you know like that.

00:20:03
Speaker 7: You Yeah, I think when it's all centered around that, yeah, that's that. That makes it like if you didn't have a good New Year, you stink.

00:20:11
Speaker 4: You stink like you and you have like a girlfriend and you're expected to do something with her and to take her to some party or something. Yeah, New Year's Eve. I have a problem.

00:20:22
Speaker 5: Thang, isn't that every holiday though? That isn't that why they manufact money?

00:20:28
Speaker 8: Even a birthday? You only get one birthday, you know what I mean. Petro's like I was born once. You don't have to keep saying it every year, Like don't you don't have to get people stuff like.

00:20:37
Speaker 5: Your birthday is your birthday?

00:20:38
Speaker 8: You were birthed once, Like okay, like happy birthday. Like there you go, like let's let's move on. There's other things to deal with, you know, But that's me. I just feel like everything is forced to create you having to spend money, and when you make money, you start to realize how much your money is spent by other people.

00:20:56
Speaker 5: That anyway, I'm ranting, but go ahead, but I'm sorry. And New Year's Happy New Year, Yeah, happy new Year.

00:21:05
Speaker 8: Imagine you could just spend a going into the next year just hanging out.

00:21:09
Speaker 7: You know what about your New Year's resolution, because I'm sure you're really excited about that. Yeah, do you have one for us?

00:21:18
Speaker 4: Well? I think generally, I'm like everybody else where. I just you know, I hope to be able to control myself a little better in the new year. That's all.

00:21:26
Speaker 5: M simple.

00:21:30
Speaker 4: Control the things I say, control being present when you're amongst people, like not being distracted by something else so that person actually thinks that, you know, you're really there in the moment.

00:21:43
Speaker 7: I got the Fox Seminar.

00:21:46
Speaker 4: Yes, even at the Fox Seminar, live at the moment and capture eternity.

00:21:53
Speaker 2: There you go, Uh, Petros, We appreciate it, and thanks for thanks for doing it. We know you're you're on vacation and enjoy the desert, enjoy yoga, and happy New Year to you and the fam again.

Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:23:07
Speaker 9: 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 show.

00:23:16
Speaker 2: Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.

00:23:20
Speaker 5: What do you doing?

00:23:21
Speaker 7: We were interrupting our promo.

00:23:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips totally of context.

00:23:27
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you out and beat you.

00:23:31
Speaker 3: Let me put this into context.

00:23:33
Speaker 7: Shut up.

00:23:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:23:34
Speaker 9: Anyway, just listen to the Paully and Tony Fosco Show on iHeartRadio, Apple podcasts O wherever you get your podcasts.

00:23:40
Speaker 2: Yee, it's a Dan Patrick show here Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you and for Dan and the guys. Coming up in about fifteen minutes from now, we are going to close up shop with something we do on our weekday morning show six am Eastern Time, three o'clock Pacific Monday through Friday before the Dan Patrick Show. But we close up every day with a little something called the Leftovers. That'll be yours here about fifteen minutes from now. We do have some good news Alabama, who is currently sitting as a seven point underdog to Indiana, if you'd like that, and the rest of Quinn's wins. You can listen to the podcast and get to all of that for your gambling pleasure coming up during the college football playoff weekend. But Alabama gets some good news. Ryan Williams, the wide receiver for the Crimson Tide, has shut down any portal talk. He says he's Alabama through and through. He's had a little bit of a down year in comparison to his freshman year, but he's not even nineteen yet, which I still think is the most mind boggling portion of all this stuff. He was fantastic last year. Again, he had a little bit of a down year, but at least that's some good news for Alabama that he will not be entering the portal according to him, that he is going to stay there with the Crimson Tide moving forward.

00:24:54
Speaker 7: So is it hard for anyone else to adapt to this conversation while he's getting ready to play for final game for the chance to go eventually play for the national championship. Like the fact that the college football calendar is set up as such, while we have the portal opening, I believe January second and twenty twenty six are here in a couple of days it's just absurd. And then on top of that, the fact that you have a blue blood program like Alabama who's got a player that could arguably be looking at going elsewhere. I mean, it just it was usually when you have a program like that, it's either to the NFL or their eligibilities expired and that was it. And nowadays, nowadays, we've got you know, players who are almost leveraging themselves every year to re up in what is free agency. And look, I'm not I'm not saying that they shouldn't do that from a business standpoint. It's just wild how fast things changed once NIL was enacted and how it's impacted. I think even the blue blood programs.

00:25:54
Speaker 5: It is changing the market.

00:25:56
Speaker 8: Guys, guys of his of his caliber, his level, they are able to test the market, and I feel like that's what's creating the market as well. I mean, you see what the numbers are, you know, people are putting out there, like what the going price is for a star quarterback that's at the college level, like that position. So when you have a guy like this, who who has been good at at an early stage where you could possibly potentially get you know, one to two more years out of that player, it does become these have to become the conversation we heard, uh, you know, we heard Petro say the retaining of players like that was never really a conversation like you got to retain your players. It's funny going to the games this year, when I go, you know, when I go on the field, you'll notice that there are a lot of coaches that are looking at the other team, and they're looking at each other's teams and they're monitoring each other. So even when the game is over, like guy says, you know, good game, da da day, you can even stand there and talk to the player too long before a coach, you know, somebody runs up and you know, inter intervenes in the conversation because you just don't really know what these conversations are that are taking place. So yeah, it has become a really really big topic of conversation as it applies to are your players.

00:27:20
Speaker 5: Staying, are they coming? Are they going?

00:27:22
Speaker 4: Do?

00:27:22
Speaker 8: How much do you have to pay for them to stay? And how much do you got to pay to get them away? That's those are conversations.

00:27:29
Speaker 2: Crazy on the field before the game, and you got guys poaching players, trying to Oh.

00:27:34
Speaker 8: You see them, bro, You see them standing as a as a group, they stand as a group and watch them warm up.

00:27:42
Speaker 5: It's wow, it's wild. Yeah.

00:27:45
Speaker 7: And especially if they have a pre existing relationship with that player from their recruit correct. You know it's also friendly and everyone follows each other on social media and so there's those are the opportunities to kind of, you know, reconstruct that relationship and then happens, I mean, it happens a special talented players like a Ryan Williams and and and again to your point, I mean, if you're really talking from a pure business financial sense, right, like a free market, it is like guys like Ryan Williams, guys who have eligibility at their position. If you're really talking about the betterment of future college football players and what they can earn and make, Yeah, it'd be who it would. I'm gonna use a Joel Joel clatt Wood. It'd be who of you to you know, go test those free agent market like that that market every single year to then keep raising that price justice, right, you keep yeah, well not even just to see, but like you kind of have to test it to see what else what their offers are out there, because you don't know until you test it, and then once you find that out, then it's like you're going back to your school and if they want to pay it, great, If not, then someone else is willing to pay it. But that keeps pushing up that number. I mean, that's what the NFL, that's what you know usually guys what aspire to do. It's one of the reasons why Kirk Cousins probably never got the respect he deserves for how he conducted himself in a business fashion, Like he laid out the groundwork for someone to get a three year, fully guaranteed deal.

00:29:11
Speaker 5: He did that.

00:29:13
Speaker 7: He literally negotiated that with Minnesota, and yet no one really capitalized on it until Deshaun Watson ended up doing it and grin hindsight and whether it's worked out is a separate conversation. But from a business standpoint, that's what you try to do or want to do, so I get it. I understand from the business aspect. It's just it's crazy to me that this kind of stuff is going on and even some of the top programs. But again, that's that's business in college football nowadays.

00:29:40
Speaker 2: I mean, would you guys even entertain the idea of having the conversation like you're getting ready to play in a game like this, would.

00:29:47
Speaker 3: You even would know?

00:29:48
Speaker 7: No, that's for your agent, which is another part of the issue, and we've heard coaches talk about this. There's no certification process for these agents. You know, some of these guys could be a family member, someone could be the roommate. I mean, LeVar just talked about that. I mean, that's that's the reality of it. Like they're not licensed, they're not certified by a union like you have to be in the NFL. So you've got really some inexperienced guys who don't have any clue what they do, what they're doing. They don't know the market, which is not even their fault because there's no transparency as far as what these guys are signing. You know, we can't like in the NFL, go look on what a guy got in free agency, and the team that was competing for that bid could have said, well, yeah, they were willing to give him this much more, or they put that clause in his contract. We weren't willing to do that. That's that was the difference. That's what did the deal. We don't have that in college football, so That's the tough part is you know, you don't have a sense of professionalism to all of this too, which wouldn't make this as big of a mess as it currently is.

00:30:51
Speaker 8: Well, that's the navigating that cats have to do. Whether it was appropriate, whether it was something that he needed to address or needed to be asked. That's just what's going to be out there, and these guys have to be more and more prepared to be able to handle the questions that are are coming their way. There's money on the line, right There's there's money out there, there's clout there, there's all kinds of stuff like you know, people want to be able to announce that they got that type of a player in the transfer portal.

00:31:20
Speaker 5: You know, look at how excited.

00:31:22
Speaker 8: UH Miami was when they got the quarterback this past year and loyets a lad to them making it to the playoffs and they got a big game tonight. You know, it is a lot that these young men have to to be able to navigate during their time. And it's funny because we just had the conversation we're talking about DK and how he handled that fan in the stands.

00:31:46
Speaker 5: When you think about it.

00:31:47
Speaker 8: That applies to all of this, how how the reporters are are talking to you, how people may talk to you, your relationships within the you know, in the locker room, based on you know, these deals that guys are getting. There are a lot of things where you have to exercise personal restraint and you know, control, and and some of that is through training.

00:32:11
Speaker 5: You know, you.

00:32:12
Speaker 8: Learn that by somebody showing you and teaching you how to handle those types of situations. That's a question that should be directed to my representation or that's a question that I'm not prepared to answer right now. I'm focused on these things, like simple approaches to how you know, you conduct yourself in these moments.

00:32:31
Speaker 5: But you got to believe that these are.

00:32:33
Speaker 8: Going to continue to be moments that pop up, and they only become big moments when somebody messes it up. You know, we'll talk about it lightly, you know, when when it's just a normal oh, like man like was that a relevant question? Or what do they do? What's going to happen here? But when somebody handles it the wrong way, then it becomes a major conversation of a major pop potential distraction to that player, to their team, and to whatever else is that's going on.

00:33:02
Speaker 2: I mean, since you don't have to be certified or have really any legitimacy to it, I want to be an agent like I've got. I've got an inn at Penn State and Notre Dame. So if anybody's out there, what you mean? I'm just saying, you know, I can make a couple of calls and and maybe we.

00:33:19
Speaker 7: I've seen how you negotiate things. I wouldn't I wouldn't want you to represent it anyway.

00:33:23
Speaker 6: What do you mean?

00:33:24
Speaker 3: I'm a hard negotiator.

00:33:25
Speaker 7: Any Jonas sees like the bottom line? He goes, Yep, where do I sign? It's like there's no negotiation? Yep, all right, I'll sign up for that Speed three speech. Can I get a sandwich and use washing machine?

00:33:35
Speaker 5: Yep?

00:33:35
Speaker 7: Okay, he'll come play for that.

00:39:07
Speaker 5: Close to that?

00:39:10
Speaker 2: I would say, Yeah, the Jets fire coaches too often, so it wouldn't be.

00:39:17
Speaker 4: Right.

00:39:18
Speaker 3: So that would eliminate them from the conversation.

00:39:21
Speaker 7: I mean, Andy Reid's been in Kansas City for a while, however, like Harball just got there, Peyton just got there, Carroll just got there, maybe leaving anybody.

00:39:31
