KFC Radio - CCK Podcast: Football Therapy (With Joey Mulinaro)

Episode Date: August 17, 2020

Kayce and Joey desperately try to save college football. Can the SEC absorb the teams that want to play from other conferences? Should they play in the spring? Can we bubble the teams and build a megaconference? Can Fanville be an actual thing? The Rocket calls in to kick Kayce while she's down.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Hey, KFC Radio listeners, you can find every episode of KFC Radio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. Oh. Kevin. You're just ridiculously stupid. Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Is this Kevin? Welcome back. Oh, yeah, man, how you doing? You good? I know you like that. I know you like that. Come on, you've been back. Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.

Welcome in to CCK. On a Monday, things are a little bit different for the next 30 minutes. Kevin is currently recording something for KFC Radio. And Jared decided, you know, everybody's opting out right now of things. Jared decided to opt out of this upcoming conversation because right now in studio, when we got to meet for the first time in person, I've got Joey Molinaro with us. Hey, hey. I wish it was under better circumstances.

I know. I always feel like I say your last name wrong. Molinaro, Molinaro. Which one do you like better? Molinaro. Molinaro. All right. I will never fuck that up again.

All right. I will never fuck that up. It wasn't a fuck up. It was just like, you know, tomato, tomato. Okay, that's fair. I mean, people call me Case all the time because there's not an extra E. My parents really fucked that one up for me. But anyways, beside the point, what the fuck is going on in college football?

Well, if you refresh Twitter, then it's probably changed by now. Yeah, exactly. So I told Kevin, I said, listen, I just need just Joey and I to have a therapy session for the next 30 minutes before you have to do an interview. I went and got us coffee because I felt like this had to be caffeine fueled. Yes. And I don't know if we're ever going to come up with any answers on this next 30 minutes but i feel like we should vent it out together we can vent it out and i think we just need to just like throw everything at the you know just just throw some till it sticks i feel like we have to do that yeah uh the phone lines are open 833-857-8665 we do already have some calls on the line wanting to

talk about this so basically if you're tuning in so normally cck we start talking about hypotheticals or something weird so we're going to do a little college football right now because it is the number one storyline in all of sports. If you don't know what's going on, you're living under a rock. Basically the Power Five conferences are all allowed to decide for their themselves if they want to play.

The Big Ten is reportedly not playing in the fall. Well, they voted. Maybe they didn't vote. Who the fuck knows? So it's a big mess right now. We've now got the president of the United States, Donald Trump. Don't know if you heard of him. He's now weighing in on it, saying that there will be college football. Trevor Lawrence

and Justin Fields and some of these guys all got together and said sort of the hashtag we want to play. Jim Harbaugh is now saying let us coach. It's just a massive shit show. Yeah, it is. But you know, I think we got some positive going on here. You know what I mean? Like I feel like from last night it was just a massive shit show yeah it is but you know i think we got some positive going on here you know what i mean like i feel like from last night it was just doom and gloom every college football reporter was saying oh it's inevitable my source says that it's done and

then now all of a sudden we wake up today you got two guys that don't need to they don't need to play which is a big point by the way justin fields and trevor lawrence they're their money they're coming together they're top two top five picks coming out, but they still want to play. We got them. We got hardball dropping stats. Not only saying we want to play, you got hardball going into the medical realm.

Hell yeah. And I got educated. I got educated. I didn't know that that was what was going down. I didn't know that Jim Harper was going to educate me today, but I kind of liked it, but it's tough to look at that. Those numbers that hardball put out about the tests that they've had,

that they've gotten on campus in June, the tests that they've re-administered over the last week or two no positive cases it's tough to look at that and say okay you know we need to cancel exactly and especially because last week not even a full week ago the big 10 released their schedule so if they knew this was coming, why would they release a schedule? Well, and Kevin Warren, the Big Ten commissioner, right? He is just completely opening mouth, insert foot, fucking himself

because you had last week where they released that, but then his son plays in the SEC. So how is he going to push for his conference to cancel and then all of a sudden the SEC is going to try to do it? Well, you know the sec is going to try to do it well you know the sec is going to try to do it yeah like i think so from what i understand and again you're right we woke up this morning things were a little bit more positive i totally thought i was going to wake up today and just cry 24 hours like but the the hashtag we want

to play and all that that does look good especially now that it's like the big 10 is kind of back tracking a little bit saying like well no we haven't voted yet because everybody's speaking out but over the weekend i was told by people who would know i mean again it's hashtag sources like who the fuck actually knows right that it was going to be whatever the big 10 did the pac-12 was going to follow and then whatever the sec does the big 12 and the acc are probably going to follow. And as of right now, the reports are the SEC is full steam ahead, which, which we love. Yes.

We love that. Of course, the big 12 and the ACC are on the fence. And then the big 10 and the PAC 12, who the fuck knows? I don't care if one conference plays, we have to play college football as long as it's safe. And if you have players and coaches coming out saying that they feel safer

playing, what's the problem? Right? Yeah, exactly. Right. I mean, am I, am I an asshole for saying that they feel safer playing what's the problem right yeah exactly right i mean am i am i an asshole for saying that i don't think so i don't think you're an asshole at all especially what gets me too is how all these schools are opening back up and kids who aren't football players or who aren't athletes so you're saying that the athletes can't play football but then they can go back to be on campus and be a regular student. Exactly. So if the schools were closed, hypothetically,

no one was going back on campus. And then they were asking the football players to be on campus. Totally understandable. Totally a completely different story that we were telling right now. These campuses are open, right? So they're not playing football. So they're not getting tested.

They're not going to be around health professionals and all of these different things, but they're still going to be on campus doesn't make any sense riddle me that joey doesn't make any sense doesn't make any sense it does not so like you said i mean the latest that we've seen is that it went from last night seeing a few different people mention oh yeah the the big 10 is we're going to wake up tomorrow like you said and the big 10 is going to cancel their season in 2020 to now sitting here at 205, almost 206. They're they made every all the presidents are mean at six o'clock.

They're having a conference at six o'clock to have to have the final vote, the final vote at six o'clock. But it's really did they vote? Did they not vote? We don't know. We don't know. Exactly. I mean, I put out the Michael Scott meme from the office. You know, I know exactly what to do, but in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do. That's what the Big Ten leadership is right now. Right. And you're seeing that kind of a bigger picture, too, which I know you and I feel the same way about the NCAA.

I tweeted this this morning. This if there is any silver lining at all, it's just the fact that the NCAA looks like such a fucking clown show like you and I know we love college football. We live, we breathe it. We know how bad the NCAA is. People on a national level that don't care about college football probably have heard it here and there.

Like, oh, it's a bad organization. They exploit athletes, whatever. You're watching it play out in full force right now because they can't do anything. They have no power. And if we started doing this four or five months ago and the NCAA said, hey, listen, this is what we think should happen.

Maybe we wouldn't be here on August the 10th. So what are some, what are, what are some options that you think that that could happen? What are some, I don't care if it's like the wildest shit you have, the craziest theory or the most realistic. Well, I know you're on the rundown today and you guys were talking about the bubbles. So we, on this very radio program, Kevin and I came up with, and I think he mentioned it to you, came up with a great idea of like having like a Truman show town where you could like as fans could go into the bubble. Essentially, it'd be the Dr. Pepper, the commercial that we see every single year. Dr. Pepperville or Fanville.

It would be great. And I and I said the SEC because I feel like the SEC is definitely the strongest case at this point to play. And the SEC fans are the craziest. Like I love big. I love the Big Ten. I really enjoyed going to Big Ten football games. There's no passion like there is in the SEC. But in reality, I think, I honestly think what we could see happen is three of the five powers play. And I don't think that's a crazy thing to say. I think that the SEC, the big 12 and the ACC

will try to play. Now, do I think they're going to finish the season? I don't know how you can go on and expect college kids not to be spreading the coronavirus like crazy. I mean, they're going to be doing partying, hooking up, doing everything they can. I do think that they're going to try to start it. I think that the Big 10 and the Pac-12 are just going to be like, no, we're canceling it, and then they're just going to be fucked. Yeah, and I mean,

those are the two conferences, right, that like they're the ones that everyone gives the most shit to, right? It's Pac-12 after dark, and everybody's That like, yeah, they're the ones that everyone gives the most shit to, right? It's Pac-12 after dark and everybody's just like, ah, no one really gives a shit. And the big 10 is always the one that's getting their ass kicked by the SEC.

So it's, you know, those are the two that don't play. Right. It's almost like what we talked about with major league baseball for a while about how it's like, they just have no idea how to stay prominent. You know what I mean?

And so for these two conferences, that would just be an absolute nightmare. And in the last couple of years,'ve made the argument on unnecessary roughness and on the college football show that the big 10 is neck and neck at least the top of the big 10 is close to the sec i mean top to bottom definitely not but when you look at the top of the big 10 right now pretty big fucking schools pretty big powerhouses so you so first of all i mean we can just say this and i'm sorry to all pac-12 fans no one gives a fuck if you guys want to opt out that's fine let us know when usc is a power again yeah let us know we i i would love for usc to be a powerhouse i would love for the usc ucla game to be a big game

again every single year fine we don't care about you that's just a fact in 2020 i do care about the big 10 i want to see what justin fields can do i I want to see if Jim Harbaugh can finally be at Ohio state and you go down the list. But at the end of the day, if they don't play and the other three conferences play, it's not that big of a deal. Right. And you got to tip your cap to Jim Harbaugh for wanting to play so badly

when it's inevitable that Ohio state is literally going to just completely fuck them up. Oh yeah. I mean, whenever they play, everyone, Ryan day. So they're going to hang when ryan day said they're

gonna hang 100 on them and they're at ohio state this year too oh yeah it's gonna be horrible you would think that harbaugh might be like i don't know guys uh this isn't looking too hot i got a lot of our guys testing positive over here because he doesn't want to have to face that inevitable embarrassment well and i think that at some point he'll get he'll just get fired like think about this we're talking about jim harbaugh right now yeah would rather play knowing he'll just get fired. Like, think about this. We're talking about Jim Harbaugh right now. Yeah. Would rather play knowing he's going to get his dick kicked in by Ohio State and potentially lose his job rather than just not play because that's how much the season means to them. Sure.

Yeah. I mean, same. Hey, same. He's sacrificing. Same with Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, they could. They could get coronavirus. They could, you know, tear their ACL.

Right. Want to play. That is. That is the thing. So I get coronavirus. They could, you know, tear their ACL. They want to play. That is the thing. So I have friends. I mean, shocking. Somehow in my life, I have friends that don't care about college football. I don't know why I keep them around. But I was explaining to them over the weekend, like,

Trevor Lawrence is already the number one overall pick. Justin Fields is right up there as well. They do not need to play one more snap of football. And they've already made their money. And they're the ones kind of leading this charge. should tell you how they feel and also now you've got parents coming out saying like hey we want our sons to be in this situation it is safer i've worked around college football you've worked around college football you know that it is probably safer for them to do that than just to be like pat out in the masses so it's not like

we're saying i go out there and be dangerous. We can watch college football. They're actually backing it up with stats. Yeah. I mean, even pre COVID, like, you know how these campuses are with the college football teams and how they have, you know,

their own private dining rooms and their own private gyms and their own private locker room. They live in a resort. Exactly. So, I mean, even before all this, they essentially were isolated in a way.

So it shouldn't be that much more difficult to isolate them just a little bit more. Right. Either close down. And this is it kind of goes back to what I said at the very beginning of the actual lockdown, you know, the global pandemic that we're currently in. Either shut it all the fuck down or you can't shut anything down. Like you can't say, OK, we're going to leave college campuses open and you're going to be able to go to class, but you can't play football.

I understand football. You know, you're, of course, like the offensive line, defensive line are like breathing on each other's faces. But you can't tell these kids they can go to class and be around all their fellow students, but not play football. And that makes sense to me. Well, I saw, was it last week, maybe? But people were talking about how, you know, when it's cold and they wear like those ski masks, almost kind of like robber looking masks. Oh, yeah. They're terrifying.

You have one on around your neck right now. the gators is it too much to like obviously down in baton rouge when it's you know september early october and it's humid as shit that would be tough to breathe in right i mean could we not have something like that to where it's a mask that's covering but it's a little bit more breathable is that too much to ask for no i don't think so and on top of that we're not saying that every single guy has to play. If they want to opt out, they should be able to opt out and have their scholarship honored in 2021. Bless up. Hopefully we have a season in 2021.

So if you don't feel safe, if you don't want to go home to your parents or whatever your situation may be because of the coronavirus, you don't have to play. But if you want to play, you should be able to fucking play. And a lot of people definitely want to play. We've seen the hashtag going all over the place. What this is a little bit different. This is on the same page as college football, but it's like, I look at people like Micah Parsons, Rondell Moore, all those guys who have opted out.

Right. But then now you have, you know, the Justin Fields, Trevor Lawrence's different, you know, big name players who do want to play, who have the same risk, you know, facing them in terms of the NFL draft. Is that going to sway a Michael Parsons or maybe to come back? Does that make their draft stock be like, well, Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields wanted

to play? You're never going to have those people, right? That's a good question. I hadn't thought about that because I made the argument on the podcast that I think and I Trevor Lawrence loves Clemson. There's no doubt about that because i i made the argument on the podcast that i think and i i trevor lawrence loves clemson there's no doubt about that you can tell he's a college football guy knowing fully well what he's gonna be able to do in the nfl yep i think that had they won the national championship last year it might be a little bit different i don't think trevor lawrence wants to go out the

way that that game ended now that's maybe just because i saw how shitty he played in that game obviously you're an lsu guy know, you know how that went, but I hadn't thought about that. Yeah. Like you're Micah Parsons. Who's a top five draft pick. And you see these other guys playing unless you, and I guess it comes down to like,

you don't know their family situations. You don't know the underlying health issues, but if you were using the coronavirus to opt out, so you didn't get hurt in 2020, which I wouldn't blame anybody. Cause who's going to tell you not to, that's a really good thing to think about like maybe it'd be like hmm because you know those conversations are going to come up next spring you know you're gonna if we do and and

you know by god let's hope that we do get some sort of college football this year you have those guys who do decide they want to play and then you have the dudes like ron down more who still decided they didn't want to play you know next spring that's going to be the hot button topic when it comes to the nfl drafts you know i mean how bad does this kid want it as he just did it for blah blah blah because he didn't you know he decided he didn't want to play yeah and again it's it's kind of hiding it's we've talked about this with with baseball players opting out with nfl players opting out it's like no matter what the reasoning is, you can't tell them not to because there is a well, it's not a global pandemic. I keep saying that it's an American pandemic at this point.

But you can't say, well, we know you're opting out because you just don't want to get hurt. It's like, well, no, there's a global pandemic. So you kind of have to like let that slide. But if you are a guy that's opting out for reasons that aren't actual health and safety reasons, you probably have to think about that. Because then the whole thing with the spring season, which I think if we cancel fall college football, there's no shot we play in the spring. Everyone keeps talking about that. What you expect these college athletes to play football for eight months in a 12 year, 12 month period.

Hell no. You can't do that. Logistically, that's a nightmare. And I just, as much as I love college football, I don't even think I want that. No. I mean, I guess it'd be kind of cool to just know that like for this,

it'd be for the summer. You just kind of chill. And then all of a sudden we're back on the road again, but it just, it would that you talk about the NFL draft that would completely fuck up the NFL draft. Exactly. And I just,

you know, it's like, I love Christmas. I'm a big Christmas guy. I'm a big Christmas girl. Big time. Like I love it. I I just you know it's like I love Christmas I'm a big Christmas guy I'm a big Christmas girl a big time like I I love it I'll you know November 15th I'll put the tree up I don't care but but I I like it because that's when it's supposed to be yeah it's Christmas all of a sudden one year had to be in March or April I it's just not the same that's why it's like with the XFL and like spring football in that way it It was like, I love football, but I need it at the time that it's supposed to be.

You know what I mean? I just don't know. You can't have football going on when it's like a blizzard outside. Well, I guess in the Big Ten that happens. But the idea of not having like hoodie weather for college football in the fall, you know, it's like you start smelling the fireplaces. Exactly. The tailgates get a little brisk. Right.

You don't want to go the opposite way. You don't want the end of the college football season to be hot as shit no that's weird i call me whatever you want to call me i i just i i would much rather if we're going to do it this way get rid of it for 2020 and then just just hold off until fall 2021 or just let the sec play i don't care about anybody else just let the sec i mean i do care i want all five i want everybody to play i want match we want just regular life we want regular life but that just doesn't exist right now we just need one conference to play you know what i mean you know i think it would be really really cool and i know the logistics are crazy like it would be it would just be insane but i i feel like it's almost like waiting there for them because of where we have these neutral site conference championship games.

Yeah. ACC, you have it in Charlotte. Okay. Atlanta is the SEC Indies for the big 10. So on and so forth. All right. Bubble around these cities.

I don't hate that. This, this year, nothing should be normal this year because nothing is normal this year. So what I'm saying is, you know, well, what about school? Well, they'll probably do a lot of virtual stuff anyways. Just have them do virtual online classes. Well, what about, you know, you can't have everybody playing on Saturday,

especially when they have the NFL teams that share the stadium. Don't just play on Saturday. Play on a fucking Tuesday. The Mac doesn't. Exactly. Play on a Wednesday. You know what I mean? Schedule it out that way.

Again, logistics would be insane, but I think, but people would have said the NBA bubble and the NHL bubble were insane long before it actually came to fruition. Exactly. But then everybody gets the one thing, people that I've talked to about this,

and I'm not talking about like super credible sources or anything. I'm like my friends, like people like Casey, now that you're not a credible source, but everybody, whatever we all are credible. It's like, well,

when I'm talking to like big cat about it, it's like, you know, it is what it is, but it's like, you know, it all just comes back to the money. Yeah.

Everything. I mean, I asked Dan whenever he got off the yak, when we were walking into the studio, I said, what the fuck's going on with your conference? And he just kind of threw his hands up and said, I have no idea, but it absolutely comes down to the money

and the fact that and i know that again logistics would be a nightmare no matter what scenario but all they would have to do is just pay the players for one year and it changes it like you think about if they and i know that's like a snowball and it's obviously but i think what's happening this year is going to change college sports especially college football for the rest of time. Because now you're seeing they want a players union. It's basically anarchy amongst the conferences. And it's all going to come down to the reason this is happening is because they are not amateur athletes, but they are pretending that they are amateur athletes.

Yeah, that's what it is. Like, and I hate I mean, you and I feel the same way about that. Like biggest air quotes, you can't student athlete. It's just not what it is anymore. And the whole reason that the president of the United States is tweeting about this is because economies, local economies and the economy as a whole is going, they're going to fucking crumble without college football. Oh yeah.

People like, I don't think people realize that enough about how a town like Columbus, Ohio, even or Baton Rouge or arbor yeah i mean it is so much based around not only the university but then that whole week leading up the visiting the tourism that comes in on the weekend the game that happens like that is a lot you know what i mean this this is not you know that's the part where it's not professional sports to where you're not based in New York or, you know, Chicago or Indianapolis or whatever it is. That's a huge factor. I saw a stat that Tuscaloosa would lose $2 billion in the economy without Alabama football. Now, I don't know if that's true.

I saw it on Twitter. We never know. I mean, I haven't looked at Twitter. I was about to refresh. I was about to say, yeah, you refreshed. It's been 20 minutes. We haven't looked. Twitter in the last... I know, I was about to refresh what you were doing here. Yeah, you refreshed. It's been 20 minutes we haven't looked. Who knows? The sky could be falling.

But just the economies in general, but also just the fact of, like, we've been saying from the very beginning, if it is safe to play, and if the coaches and players feel like it's safe to play, which apparently they do, or most of them do, then they should be able to. If they were being forced to play against their will

because of the NCAA and the money and all that that would be a different argument but as of right now it seems like the players and the coaches want to play let's take some phone calls anything new you're seeing anything new on there no no okay good oh well that's actually kind of good that's kind of a no news is a good news thing uh 833-857-8665 we've got Joey for a couple more minutes before he goes and does another interview, but we'll just kind of rattle, rattle through these. Mark in Tennessee. Mark, what's up? Yo, yo, I got a big problem today.

Oh boy. Join the club. Yeah, I'm sitting here fucking wishing Tom Brady would throw a 99 mile an hour fucking slant route through my fucking head at least nine fucking times in skull fuck me i'm sitting here in goddamn dismay i don't think tom brady has that kind of velocity well don't you slander tom brady i got a couple questions for y'all um today um first of all so the player union uh will eventually happen at some point do you think it's uh gonna happen soon enough to have a season and the second is would teams start going rogue so could i see like maybe a michigan jim harbaugh in the sec for a

year yeah that's a good question i'm literally about to blow my brains out this is fucking awful mark i'm the same way i've i've actually been crying at my desk today it's a i we made a joke early in the pandemic on this program when i was stuck in my apartment i was like crying thinking about college football not happening now it's actually coming to fruition so i'm with you if i can line up behind you and let tom brady kind of just like you know two birds one stone i'm totally in uh definitely there i would yeah please please i mean put us out of our misery um as far as other teams going to new conferences we're seeing those rumors i would fucking love that it would be incredible but again just how the hell does that happen like how do you

like secede for one year and then like next year you're just like all right big 10 we want back in i mean i don't know how that works that's why i mean yeah no i mean all rules are obviously out of the fucking window at this point i mean i i think think Jim Harbaugh might croak if he doesn't have a season. Like, Jesus Christ, he's got to play football. I mean, it's insane. I kind of like that, though, now I'm thinking about it. Everybody just unites to say, fuck conferences. Everybody just secede.

You become independent, and then you just schedule whoever the hell you want, and you play. Well, and think about this. We've been talking for a long time about what it would take to dismember the NCAA, and we've said that the conferences would kind of have to come together and do that well we could potentially see that happening right now in the middle of something that's way bigger in the world which is the coronavirus but I think that the union talking about the union coming together quick enough I

don't know if that's the case because we're less than a month away from when football's supposed to start but I do think that it could scare conferences into letting them play because they're like, well, shit, if we don't let this happen, then they're going to do that. Because the offseason is going to be even crazier. But I would love if you just start trading teams. You know, like, oh, Michigan,

hey, you want to come play in the Big 12 for a year? Anarchy. You've seen the purge, right? Yeah. Let it be the purge anarchy. Just, you know what, for one year, everybody knows 2020 is a wash across the board, not just with sports, with everything. There's going to be a huge asterisk next to it forever purge anarchy. Just, you know what, for one year, everybody knows 2020 is a wash across the board, not just with sports,

with everything. There's going to be a huge asterisk next to it forever. Just anarchy. And besides like Michigan playing Ohio state. And I guess maybe Michigan state and everything like besides that, nobody gives a fuck about the other big 10 games that they play. Like Ohio state, Michigan is obviously one of the biggest games in college football.

So like, let them still play each other as long. I mean, it seems like Ryan day wants to play too, right? Yeah, no, but that's what I'm saying is like,

give us Michigan, Alabama, give us Ohio state, Clemson, give us, uh, you know, Notre Dame,

Penn state, give it, you know what I mean? Like all that kind of stuff, just, just throw it all away. It would be beautiful. This is,

this is pretty radical. We're getting wild, but what if we just took all the teams that want to play and even not even just full conferences like say for example which we all know tennessee wants to play but just that was the first team that came to my mind say tennessee wants to opt out all right opt out then everybody else in the sec you put them all in a pool so all the teams in the country that want to play and then you just figure out a schedule from that standpoint i'm in i mean i'm in literally like that you could literally anything that results with football being played either on any day of the

week any day once september or even october if we have to start in october i'm fine with that too because that's that's fucking football is october if that's a start then i'm in for that anything that results in that happening like there's no way i can be convinced out of it so just tell me whatever it is i'm in so we're on college football watch we've got katie the unnecessary roughness new uh she's she's part of the team despite jack mack wanting that there was a whole thing i don't know if you heard that jack mack's very upset but she's basically watching like a screen right now just rolling telling me what's going on telling you guys what's going on so we'll just we'll keep it updated. But you know what?

Okay. You had to, I know you have to go right now. So as you're going out, percentage that you think any college football is going to be played in the fall. In this moment, at 225, August the 10th on a Monday. Last night, it would have been like 10% to zero. Okay. Right now, this very moment, I'm hopping it up to 40%.

Ooh, I like that. 40%. That's some sort happens. I like that. Even if it's just like a couple games and it gets canceled, at least there's going to be, there is going to be a kickoff at some point.

Yes. I like it. There will be 60. I went to bed last night thinking 5%. Yep. I'm around 40 now as well. By the end of the day, after six

o'clock i guess well that'll kind of be the tail the tail we haven't heard shit from the sec though because you know why they're gonna play fucking football yeah they're like they literally have just like their middle fingers up from the south they're like you know what we're playing football baby coach i was just laughing at the big 10 oh yeah coach i mean listen we gotta listen to coach we gotta listen to nicks that's what i'm saying he says you gotta play football you gotta play football well thanks for hanging out with me this was great i bummed to leave yeah yeah i know i Coach, I mean, we've got to listen to Coach O.

It's a what the fuck Monday. Yo, the college football world. It's on fire. It's on fire. So Joey Molinero, which I will never fuck that up again. I feel very badly. We had him on on the first 30 minutes and now he had to bounce to do an interview. I have no idea where my other co-hosts are.

Kevin, Kevin's working. Jared, I think, died. They have a dope ass interview. So I was in the back and I heard a little bit of it. They have a dope ass interview lined up. I'm not going to spoil it. Don't spoil it. But it is.

It's it's it is. Oh, yeah. It was one of those days where I was really mad that people can't currently come into the office. You know what I mean? This is one. This is one. Like, I would have been super stoked in that. And that's we've seen that, you know, Barstool throughout the years.

And obviously you've been here longer than me. But whenever big time guests come in and how everybody reacts. So the first one that I was a part of was when the jersey the whole jersey short cast i mean we were at the old office and it cleared out the third floor i mean nobody was working we had to we all went downstairs and we're watching them do i think they did like the chicks in the office thing it was it was like a what goldfish goldfish in a fish pond it was it was we were paparazzi in our own building right and i mean now the jersey shore guys and girls come in and out so that i think that was the first time but then when lisa ann was here was a really big one she also was a big one oh yeah everybody was like lining outside of kfc radio i mean every time a rod's in here but i would think you know and

again no no spoilers but the person that was on kfc radio would be high up there for some of us at least this one for me this one for me is up there with like, so I only freaked out very, like I freaked out like crazy for Jersey shore. Cause I watched it. I watched it in college and I loved it and all that. I feel like this, this one,

I would have freaked out a whole lot more. Oh yeah. This one was big. So KFC radio is doing some, yo, I can't wait. So they're doing some big things. Obviously,

if you're just now tuning in, you, this is a, a what the fuck Monday, because the college football world is crumbling. The sky is falling. And I love days like this because I obviously live and breathe college football. My entire life has been college football.

Even when I was working in Boston covering NFL and NBA and whatever, it's like I still love college football. The whole world right now is paying attention to college football. So even though it's negative at this point, we all get to enjoy it together. We get to enjoy the shit show because college football is running the headlines right now. So we're going to keep getting into these calls. The call lines are banged out 833-857-8665. We're just going to rattle through your college football calls. Again, if you're just now tuning in, basically we have no fucking clue if there's going to be a season or not. Some of the conferences

are saying they're going to opt out. Now players and coaches are mad. We don't know what's going on. The president of the United States is even weighing in, which shouldn't surprise me, but he's like, we're playing football. And I'm like, well, I don't know. Can he make that happen? I don't know. But I feel like his pressure will get people moving.

Oh, yeah. Like the president, no matter who the president is, I mean, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, whoever it may be. President speak. You better listen. Yeah, you better listen. So we're going to get to these college football calls. We've got Ben in Colorado. What's up, Ben? Hey, how are you doing? You know what? I could be better, but we're airing our grievances here. How are you doing? Oh, you know, really disappointed obviously everything i do on saturday i wake up and uh

watch game day and then i turn off the tv at like midnight after pac-12 after dark games get over and that's my saturday every single week in the fall so that's kind of changed now well ben i have one i have one issue with you really quickly before we move on you got got to do the Barstool College football show instead of game day. Come on, buddy. You got to get on board. Yeah, I watched that before. Oh, OK. OK.

Oh, OK. That's good. That's a good one to punch. Yeah, it's very disappointing because, I mean, even if you just got into college football or you've been loving it your entire life, it's become such a routine, which we've seen in 2020 has gone away in general. But the fact that we are potentially living in a world where we're going to be watching NFL games on like that three 30 slot on a Saturday afternoon is wild. Yeah. And so my question was,

do you think if the universities and teams start going rogue from their conferences, do you think we could get like a March Madness bracket type thing season going on this year? Yeah, I mean, Joey and I were just talking about that last segment. I mean, I think that that would be it's a long shot and it's a crazy thing to think that could happen. But then again, I mean, everything is unprecedented. We have no idea what's going on. And if there are certain universities that are really, really strict on not wanting to play and there are other universities that are really, really strict on not wanting to play, and there are other universities that do, I say just put them all in a pool and play football.

And I know that, you know, university presidents versus athletic directors versus commissioners, it's all going to be kind of a shit show. But I mean, if you told me we were going to have a March Madness type bracket for football in the fall, I would sign up for that 10 out of 10. Yeah, I think that would, that might be one of by far the best options moving forward because who knows what's going to happen because Big Ten just had that vote and all that stuff. Yeah, well, and that we don't even know if they've actually voted. That's what's crazy is that it really is, you know, if you're not a Twitter person right now, I don't know how you're getting your news because you're constantly having to

refresh to see what's going on. So if one conference opts out, does that allow teams to maybe go join a different conference? Does it allow players to potentially leave? I've thought about that as well. Cause you know, like let's say somebody at Michigan wants to play football and they have the option to transfer. Can the NCAA let them know? So they can play in a different conference. It's just, it's a fucking mess is what it has been yeah uh but didn't the Big Ten have that 12 to 2 vote against the football

season so uh the only people that voted for were like Nebraska and Iowa so here this is what I learned as I was walking into CCK was that apparently might not have been true that the vote is happening tonight that's why I'm saying nobody knows what's going on. So that, that rumor has been happening all day and that's been, you know, sourced by ESPN and NBC sports and CBS and sports illustrated everybody. And now it's coming out saying that that vote didn't happen or maybe didn't happen into completion. Like whatever the rumor is, apparently it's still all up in the air and that tonight at six o'clock, there's another Big Ten meeting for maybe like the

final vote. So, I mean, when I say no one knows what's going on, literally no one knows what's going on. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Thanks for the call, Ben. I'm telling you, everybody's just sad. So what I don't get that, right, Casey, is that if this is actually about the kids and

keeping them safe and all that away from the virus, I think they should go forth and play because, I mean, give a 21 year old, a 20 year old nothing to do, you know, give them the liberty to do shit. I mean, he's more likely going to go party and then contract, you know, get the virus that way, as opposed to if he's if he is in football, right, it gives him the career opportunity. He gets a chance to showcase his skills for the scouts and these these universities, the way they treat their football players and their athletes, I mean, these guys are gods. They have the best of everything, the bubbling and all that. And trust me, if they have football to work towards, I don't think people will lose focus and start messing around and all that. No, and even just from a base level is that they're getting tested all the time.

That too, yes. I mean, they are consistently getting tested. I mean, we talked about, I think the big 10, you know, and again, the big 10 is the prime headline right now, but they want to try weekly testing. And a lot, a lot of,

a lot of these kids come from backgrounds of, you know, they're not really well off families. So they are more likely in their communities back home where, you know, because of lack of education and shit like that are more likely to slip up than, than,

than, than they were if they under the coach's fucking arm, you know, looking over. Absolutely. And if you look, I mean, all you have to do is just Google like Alabama football facility or Texas.

I mean, Texas A&M football facility legitimately looks like a resort. There you go. I mean, it looks, I mean, these guys, they want to play,

but not only that, they are in safer conditions. And again, I've said from the very beginning, if it's really, really unsafe for these guys and it's being, it's forced upon them that's different than if they want to play and the and the politics around it are keeping them from playing this weekend has shown us oh every single ball a lot a lot of the big names in the in the game i guess i mean guys that don't

need to play that kevin warrens does not need to play football in 2020 and he's going to make millions of dollars he's going to be the number one overall draft pick. And he's like, yo, I want to fucking play football, and it's safer for me to do it. Like I said, that's why I'm calling it a what the fuck Monday. That's what we're doing. Did you say Jared's on the line? I believe so.

Rocket, you there? I am here, Zah. Jared, do you have any grievances about college football? I'm sad for you, Casey. I am. I don't care if they play or not, but I do because I want you to be happy. I want you to be happy. I want you to have college football. I will tell you. I don't really know what's going on, though.

I know you don't want. And that's why, like when I asked during the break if you were going to be on or not, I was like, we have a million college football calls that Jared's not going to care about. But I did want to ask you before we get to those calls, because you, you know, you cover baseball for a living, unbiased baseball journalist. You had your season canceled or I guess postponed because it did kind of end up playing out in a good way. They're still playing. So I guess it did work out. How did you cope with it back in April whenever you knew or March, I guess, was opening day? How did you cope with it? Because I'm going to need a therapy session. If this happens. Um, well, like that's the thing, like if, if college football gets canceled, you're, you're in a completely different boat than I was, because at least we had hope. Like I, I knew that we weren't going to have baseball. Like we kind of had a blueprint where they kept saying, you know, July 1st around there. And then like, that's when teams started showing back up

again. And then they got started like three weeks after that, which we kind of figured they would need like a spring training 2.0 before they could play games again. So like, we kind of knew what the dates were and we kind of, like, it was, we were in a situation where it was like, is it going to happen? Is it not going to happen? But if it did happen, we knew that we were in it for March, April, May, June, July with no real games. Like we knew that we were going to have no games, but we also had June, July with no real games. Like we knew that we were going to have no games,

but we also had hope that they would eventually play games. So if you have your college football season canceled, just straight up, like you're in a completely different boat than I am because now you're looking at next year versus we were like, please, July, maybe August. You're kicking me when I'm down. I'm not trying to, I'm just, I'm trying to,

I want to give you hope. I don't know if I can do that. It's impossible. I mean, nobody has hope right now. Brandon Walker just walked by the studio with a football in his hand and a middle finger up in the air. I mean, it's a fucking Morgan here today. I do think that, you know, and I don't know. You said you don't know what's going on.

That's fine. We have no idea what's going on. There could still be college football. There could be some form of college football. We're not really sure yet. It's still waiting to be seen. But the fact that sports are potentially being canceled is a very sad thing. And I know you didn't get a canceled season. So you're right. I'm in a worse off spot than you. Yeah, we didn't get a canceled season. We did get a canceled rotation, which is kind of like it is what it is um but i am enjoying just yeah like i'm enjoying being able to watch other teams like

that's fun i'm enjoying that but like in your case i mean because you know when we're talking to people who don't work for barstool or they don't work in the industry it's like dude just like fucking you know go outside or like do this or that. It's like, well, it goes beyond just not having a baseball team to watch or your favorite sport to watch. It's, it directly impacts your work. And it's like, if I was in a position where like, okay, it's July and they couldn't figure out like the labor angle of major league baseball. And they were just like, all right, fuck it.

Seasons cancel. We'll see a, maybe in February. Then it's like, how are we going to navigate that? Like, like you have like starting nine, like that's, that's money where it's like, you know, during the season, it's two episodes a week. And then section 10, it's two episodes a week when there's games being played. And now you're being asked to talk about a sport that hasn't played any games since last October and to go between October, 2019 to February, 2021, without, you know played any games since last October and to go between October,

2019 to February, 2021, without, you know, any games to talk about. Like that's a very difficult task, like professionally. So yeah, like there was a lot of that more so than like, Oh, I want to watch the Red Sox play. I mean, you know, unnecessary roughness, shout out the podcast that Brandon and I do. We've we stayed during the off season. We actually probably have had more fun in the off season because we just get to talk shit to each other. But I mean,

the Barstool College Football Show, and I'm biased because I'm on it, but I mean, that's a huge thing here at Barstool. And so you're talking about, you know, potentially, like you said, it does affect, I mean, it affects everybody. Can you imagine like what's going on at ESPN and CBS and all these different things? It just really speaks to, you know, how big college football is. And then obviously the NFL is going to go on and that's a big thing as well. But just the idea of canceling sports. So, I mean, let's hypothetically, and I'm going to cry hysterically if this happens, but hypothetically, if they do cancel the entire season and they can't make the spring happen, you're going to go from January of 2020 to August, September of 2021 without any college football.

That's insane. It's bad. It's not great. It's not great. It's not great. And I mean, we're obviously very fortunate at Barstool where like we haven't had the hammer dropped on us from an employee standpoint. But you've seen it with the people that we worked with at NBC. Like it's being felt everywhere where, you know, you talk about, oh, like you're just sad because you can't watch baseball. It's like, no, like this is like my livelihood. Like this is like how I support myself. And obviously with college football being like your bread and butter, like I, that's

my whole life. Jared, I know it's the only, it's the only thing I care about. It's the only thing that I'm good at. I like that. You should keep saying that. Talking about canceling sports, let's go to Joe in Cleveland. What's up, Joe? Hey, Casey.

First time, long time. I actually was coming straight out of Michigan's locker room. Oh. They are done. They're shutting it down today. Really? Yeah. Yep.

You're not lying to me right now? Not lying. Not lying at all. Sorry for the bad news. What do you do for the Michigan football program? One of my best friends' younger brother plays for them. And they're just cleaning it out, huh?

Yep. I got the text nice and early this morning. Don't expect much, boys. They're shutting it down. Joe, I just really didn't need that energy right now. So even with all the Harbaugh stuff this afternoon, it's still getting shut down. Yep. I thought that was ridiculous that everybody's coming out saying he wants them to play and then he shut it down this morning. It just doesn't make any sense.

I don't know if it was him or if it was the school, but they're not playing this year. Yeah, that's the... No football in 2020. Well, no Big Ten football, at least. I mean, that's kind of all the moving parts right now is that there's so many different powers that are at play, whether it's the commissioners, the coaches, the ADs, the college presidents.

So it's like, who actually is going to be able to make this call? The fact that Jim Harbaugh came out with all those stats today and said, here are scientific points, scientific evidence of why these guys need to be playing football, but they're already shutting the whole locker room down. That's sad news, Joe. But I mean, it's, you know, you have sources. So, I mean, that's something you had to tell the people on national radio. Yeah. It felt like I had to get that out and rock it. Go Bieber, baby. Let's go Biebs. Let's go. MV Biebs. He's the fucking truth.

He is the absolute truth. Get him some runs, for Christ's sake. God, that's depressing. I don't like that. I'm sorry, Casey. I mean, again, though, Jared, I know we need to do a sit down and talk about college football. Just because the Big Ten opts out and doesn't play does not mean college football is completely toast

because the people in the SEC are fucking crazy. But if they're cleaning out the locker rooms, not a good sign, probably not a good sign. Maybe he meant we're deep cleaning the locker room because we want players to show up. Yeah. I like that. They're deep cleaning it and getting rid of any potential coronavirus germs lying around. Let's stick with that. Let's stick with that until we, until we know otherwise. God, that was a pressing call.

Let's go to Steve in Wisconsin. He's been on the line for a while. What's up, Steve? Hey Casey. I'm just going off of what you and Zal were saying too, where it's like for player safety, the boys want to play. Cause I played four years of college hockey,

but it took me five years to finish school. And that last year when I was not an athlete sucked. So the boys want to play football, let them play. Um, my thing though, is if there's no college football season, are you going to see guys opting out of college football, you know, maybe second to fifth round guys, uh, and potentially going to be free agents in the NFL? Yeah. I mean, that's a great question because, you know, we've been talking about that even with if there was a spring season, what that would mean for the NFL draft. And I'm working under the assumption, I truly believe, and it's my opinion, but if they don't work it out for the fall, there's not going to be a spring season because that just becomes a disaster. If somebody gets hurt in the spring and can't play in the fall, it hurts the eligibility i think it's going to come down to if the ncaa can figure the the fuck

out if they how they're going to give these guys their scholarships for another year if they don't play football this year because if for some reason that doesn't work out i do think you're going to see guys opting out and even if they do get a scholarship and their eligibility is honored for an extra year they're going to look at it and say okay like i just said you're not going to have football for a year and a half and And they could potentially be drafted, especially guys, second, third rounders be like, what? I'm just going to opt out and go to the NFL. And they're going to have to be allowed to do that because there was no college football in 2020. Well, what I'm thinking, too, if you have like a Miami Marlins or St. Louis Cardinals situation in the NFL and Roger Goodell just says, fuck it and makes these guys play.

It's like, OK, you're going to need next man up, next man up. And then next thing you know, you're into those guys who, you know, are in college and could potentially fill one of those roster spots and get paid. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, there's, there's so much that's on the table right now because of, of just the complete anarchy. And I love using that word, the, the anarchy that's going on, but at the end of the day and Jared, you know, we've talked about this on this show and you and I have talked about it, too. It's like the difference between professional athletes and these, quote, student athletes, which is like the biggest joke of all time, is that there's no precedent set of what you're going to do now for these, quote, amateur athletes if they don't have a season. You also have Donald Trump just tweeted, play college football. Oh, yeah.

At least you have the POTUS on your side here. Oh, yeah. We've been talking about that. The fact that the president of the United States, and I said this to Zaha before you got on, it doesn't matter if it's Trump, Obama, Bush, whoever, maybe. If the president of the United States is weighing in on something like this, things are about to get pretty dicey, I would have to assume. I wonder how Obama would have handled March Madness getting canceled.

He wouldn't have allowed it. No. Well, Obama would have handled March Madness getting canceled. He wouldn't have allowed it. Well, he would. And March Madness is different. Again, the NCAA is a fucking joke. The NCAA is in charge of March Madness. They can shut that shit down. That's the reason it all got shut down. They didn't leave it up to the conferences.

In college football, they have no power. It's an absolute clown show. Mark Emmert should be fired. Fuck, Trevor Lawrence should just take Mark Emmert's job and be the number one overall draft pick because he can do both of those things better the ncaa is an absolute joke kevin in new york you agree with me right you've got a call on trevor lawrence shouldn't he just take mark emmerich's job at this point seriously like what what a king that guy is like the only thing that sucks is that he's probably going to end up on the Patriots, and then we all have to hate him.

But he really is the spokesperson for the common man right now, in my mind. You know, just, like, we're at the point that it's, like, tired of, like, so many people saying, you know, do this, or, like, you can't do this, you're allowed to do this. Like, let the players take the risk if they want to, like let them opt out if they want to. Like let's stop shaming people for wanting to play. Let's stop shaming people for wanting to opt out. Like it's a personal choice.

It impacts your career one way or another. It impacts, potentially impacts your family one way or another and just let it play. But I have a quick question for you also. Casey, who runs the Unnecessary Roughness Instagram? That would be Jack Mack. Oh, because it's amazing. I was hoping it would be you and not.

I think I'm happy it wasn't Brandon Walker. Because I don't think Brandon Walker is capable of being as funny as that is. This is great. Oh, well, thank you. I'll let him know. Actually, on the last episode from last week, we kind of had a fight about that. Because, you know, Brandon and I don't want to run it. We don't even have the passwords.

So Jack Mack is now getting help from a girl named Katie. You should go listen to it. He was not happy about it. But as of right now, Jack Mack is the only one with the codes to that. Well, I like it. It's good. I was like in my head. I'm just sitting here hoping it's not Brandon Walker.

So it's good that it's not. It's definitely. I love the guy. It's just in my head. I want to also think that he's not smart enough to run the Instagram. I gonna pass that along to both of them thank you for saying that kevin i'm sure jack mack you too i'm sure jack mack will like that uh jared we had and i'm sure you've had this happen a couple times on your podcast the ones all all of the podcasts that you do we had like a family argument on unnecessary roughness like while we were recording last week and i'll

be honest it's not really fun when that happens like family feud should not be behind a microphone but it makes it more entertaining but it got pretty heated i thought brandon walker was going to have a devlin moment again i would say uh like very i don't think that's ever happened on section 10 like on starting nine sometimes like me and dallas will butt heads on things but like it very much is like a family like it's like a marriageable because with me and like, it very much is like a family. Like, it's like a marriageable because with me and Dallas, it's very much like a marriage. Like, well, anytime that we do a, like a road trip together, we always like start it with a hug because we know like, Hey, we're going to be with each other like 24 seven for the next 10 days.

And like, we'll probably get annoyed with each other at some point. So like, if, if there is something that like, we'll hug it out. Um, but yeah, no, there, there's very rarely do we have like actual heated debates where we're like actually angry. So Brandon and I have argued plenty of times, just like you and Dallas have about football or whatever else. Brandon and I have never actually gotten in a real argument. I don't think, who knows? I mean, I spend so much time with him. This was the first time that it was an actual argument and it was between Jack and Brandon and neither one of them would admit

that they were actually mad. And I just was kind of in the middle of it. And it spilled over into the hallway, which is right in front of the radio studio. And it was the Chaps and Kate show and the door was open and cons was like, hey, can you guys close the door? Cause it was so fucking loud.

And I was like, Brandon, you know what you need to learn how to do is not have full blown arguments in the hallway in front of the radio studio, because that's when people start realizing that you get angry very easily. Yeah. Yeah. We worked it out. We worked it out. That's what matters. Yeah. You got to work it out. Quick trigger people. It's a, it's a good thing and a bad thing, but yeah, those people that they get animated and they care about what they're talking about. That's, that's, uh, it's entertainment for the people. Yeah. So if you're a, if you're an unnecessary roughness fan, you know how that played out. If you don't, you should just go listen to the episode because it was quite a scene.

Yeah. I thought that like when you started to like bring it over to like from Instagram and podcasting that you were going to say something about like, like when we have starting nine and we post like quotes from the, uh, the podcast on the starting nine Instagram, like people will be like, Oh, you fucking egotistical piece of shit. Like citing yourself on this page.

It's like, dude, you do know that like you're on the starting nine Instagram page, which is a podcast. And we're posting quote cards from the podcast. People don't understand. Yeah. Yeah.

They're like, how fucking full of yourself are you that you post about yourself on this page like who cares about what you have to say it's like well you follow the podcast instagram account yeah exactly i mean that's why you're on it uh yeah no we don't have the passwords and we don't want them that's people will tag me all the time like oh casey smith must be running this one if i like if it's talking shit about texas or something i'm like guys i don't have any desire to have the passwords to that oh zaz zaz fucking dabbing in the back what is it good news or you just don't know it's good it's always good news spider i thought i got a glimpse of spider i mean he gave me some good energy i had to reciprocate well spider did i was sitting

in the gambling cave and i was making a video and spider came by he was like casey you all right i was like no actually i'm not i want to jump off the fucking Empire State Building right now. And he's like, it'll be all right, queen. It'll be all right. That's the kind of guy you need on a day like this. That's who you need to go sit and talk to. He'll bring you back just like that. I mean, he's smiling over there.

You're right. He's going to bring the energy. We've only got about a minute and a half, but Frank has been on the line for a while. Frank, air your grievances. Casey, I feel like shit today. I'm similar to you. I don't think you grew up a SEC fan, but you kind of got inherited into it. I went to South Carolina, became obsessed with it. And now, even though they rip my heart out every year, I still have a little bit of hope just because the SEC, they, I can't imagine that place without college football this season or any season

for that matter. So really what I'm hoping is at the very least, they'll maybe have some empty stadiums, kind of like what baseball is trying to do right now. But my question for you is, is ultimately who do you think would benefit the most if they did, even if they moved to the spring and had an empty stadiums, who would benefit the most from having like empty stadiums and not a hundred thousand people?

I would say the SEC maybe. I mean, at this point, I think the SEC is playing. And I don't know, the call got dropped. But I would say if you're a South Carolina fan, you probably have the most hope. I would think the SEC is probably the best conference to make this happen, even without fans. But then again, the SEC usually has 100,000 people.

I don't know, Jared. This is a what the fuck Monday. And I'm really sad. I'm sorry, Casey. I don't want you to be sad. We can talk off the air about it. No, I don't want to talk off the air about it. I just want to go sit at my desk and cry. I even went and got Joey and I some coffee.

It did nothing. I mean, I should have just shot up the real stuff because I'm not. I just want to take a nap. I want to take a sad nap. Go to sleep, sad bitch. All right. I just want to take a nap. I want to take a sad nap. Go to sleep, sad bitch. Alright, that was CCK on a Monday. Who knows what's going to happen in college football. We'll keep it

updated. Go download Unnecessary Roughness and then of course, you know, if you like baseball or whatever, go download Jared's podcast too. You guys stay hot. Stay happy. Please pray for college football.
