He gets all of the football talk. He owns football Yes, Lucy told you the Duke was good and Clemson wasn't. Mike Ryan told you that FSU was good and that LSU wasn't, but Dion wins the weekend.

We'll get to that in a second. But I heard Billy and I can't believe that he's saying this because Homer Greg Cody is in peak form today. He just said, Phillips is going to lead the league in sacks. Correct. He just said it. In fairness to Greg, he said he could lead the league in sacks correct he just said it in fairness to Greg he said he could lead the league in sacks yeah right yeah he will yeah he will I've upgraded my take okay good yeah he will lead the league in saying matter fact I'll go one

further got a shot up 20 the really really 26 okay yeah big shot all right okay so Greg Cody is in full homer mode but Billy dared to whisper something that I haven't heard anybody whisper in town. And it's surprising, given, you know, the century of football, the dolphins have given us. But Billy asked the question, I haven't heard anyone ask, which is, are the dolphins good? Hmm.

I mean, I didn't ask it just like that. It just, there seems to be no consensus on what this team is, right? I believe the consensus is there expectations for the team. No, there's not even consensus on that, because Peter King has them missing the playoffs. And then other people have them winning the AFC. So like, they're all over the place this team and what people think they will do and what they will be.

I think the consensus is, if two of stays healthy, they'll be a good football team, right? If he stays healthy, it's a big if, but if he stays healthy, they'll be good, right? I have enjoyed an off season of Greg Cody calling a Fangio God and then Bill's fans sending us Josh Allen's numbers against Fangio as they should because it's absurd to believe that Fangio's got some secret that's going to stop my homes from hosting another AFC championship game. But there are more than I can remember at any time in the 2000s expectations for this football team. The problem is this time of year, the Lions also think they're going to the Super Bowl. There are so many teams that think

and are behaving like they're a piece away. The Dolphins are one of them, even though they wouldn't have been by consensus the group of five that we think of as a piece away. The Dolphins are spent the entire off season behaving as if they think they're going to win the championship this year. Usually that means you've got to win your division. The jets also think everything that the dolphins think about their season. And the

bills have greater expectations than both of them. That's what football is awesome Dan. Yeah. Something's got to give. I think I know I know what we need to do. We need to go around and find the frauds. Who are the cities and teams doing the show right now? Excited about their team that have no shot. I would not put the dolphins in that category. Whether they actually do it or not, we'll see. The Browns, I think the Browns, Browns fans are excited

about you. They feel like they have a shot. They want the idea that Deshaun Watson will, that that was a rushed year of some sort. Do the Steelers actually think they have a shot. Yes. No they do that's What that's for me. That's my team that shouldn't be doing that show today We should be doing the show but about work site whether we do it or not But we'll see but we should be excited but hold on a second. They're saying the same thing about you, which is the problem They're not yet. Yeah, if they're

If the dealers fans are looking at the dolphins thing that were the Steelers're the Steelers. Hey, we have way more talent than you guys. Put it on the pole. Our Steelers fans looking at the dolphins and saying, we're the same as you. But think about being the fraud is a lot of people don't know when they're a fraud. You know what I mean? Why do I think you could call the Steelers a fraud

when they've never had a losing season under Tomlin? Like if they've never once had a losing season, that puts them in the conversation. I love Chris lashing out its dealer fans having no idea what's going on at Pittsburgh sports radio right now Like you have no idea you don't know if they say you don't know for all you don't bad mouth I know the Steelers are thinking they have a shot at winning the Super Bowl because they're the Steelers God you can go to just about any market and this this time of year, before the injuries have mounted, before you've started one and three and have to go to the Niners.

This time of year, I'm gonna guess 26 of the teams. Everybody but Arizona is saying we're gonna be in some sort of contention for the playoffs. There's no way that land is doing that show today. They're not, they can't be called a show. They're all but four or five. I hope full fan base can talk itself in anything. You just said the jets are going 15 and two.

What's wrong with being hopeful? Right now there's nothing to be said about. No one has lost yet. Why don't you live it up and enjoy it before it's gone? The Raiders can't be hopeful. That's gonna be a down year. Well, they have Brady.

Just Wade. Exactly. Wadey. Yeah, and they start one and three. Exactly right. Yeah, God. Let's go for a second to sound here that I wanted to get to, Stu Gatz.

Travis Kelsey, this is an amazing thing to think about. Travis Kelsey is about 1500 yards from being third on the all-time tight-end receiving list. The impressive part about that is that it took Antonio Gates, who was pretty good, 236 games to do it. Kelsey has played 144. And he is going somehow to be a better tight-end than Grant, who I thought was the best tight end ever if Kelsey can stay healthy And he always seems to stay healthy But he's the second most interesting guy on his own podcast because his brother is

The center for the Eagles and they've got a very popular podcast and Jason Kelsey is a little bit funnier than Travis isn't Travis His plenty funny and plenty loose but Travis Kelsey Jason Kelsey they have this story about scrimmaging last year against the Eagles and the dolphins against the dolphins excuse me thank you Chris and Christian Wilkins evidently lit up Jason Kelsey so well that a guy who always has something to say had no come back to this Some about a good insult where it's like you can't even like get mad at it. It's just great You got to tell the one man. Which one? I got a bunch. You got to tell the Miami joint practice one Dude Wilkins was talking trash just in the practice

So he was talking trash. And then I started yapping at him, which pretty big party file by me because I was able to practice. You were practicing, yeah. So I'm over here yelling and all of a sudden I know where Jayla Phillips says, shut up, eyebrows, you ain't even practicing. And I was like, dude back from that. Like, that boy got to pick as eyebrows, man. Like the dad from American pie. I mean, it's, you know, there ain't too many dudes got eyebrows like this. Do you know how thick your eyebrows have to be

for someone to say that to you when you're wearing a helmet? Now, maybe he wasn't because he was on the sidelines and he wasn't practicing. So, but I do believe you can see those particular eyes that are in the middle of the video. a helmet. Now, maybe he wasn't because he was on the sidelines and he wasn't practicing. So, uh, but I browse, but I do believe you can see those particular eyebrows even through a helmet. They, they, they, how's a family of German tourists? They, they're very thick. Wow. German tourists. Yeah. Not just tourists. Right. Okay. The birds's in there Dennis rotor Huh Are the dolphins good Greg Cody he has pronounced them Super Bowl champions

He says no, you know what let's get this all out here because last year you happen to be right on this front You said Tyree kill and Waddle right would have enormous seasons and they did yep and Such so enormous that evidently the cults asked for Waddle in exchange for Jonathan Taylor and Chris Greer who never says anything like this just said, yeah, Waddle is not available. Just nobody can have Waddle. You can't have Waddle like Waddle.

I don't care who you are, what you have. I don't care Waddle is ours, but there was Bill, you were right. There was a mystery team. There was always a mystery team there. Did you see who the mystery team was? Yeah, the Packers, right? Yeah.

What are they doing? They think they have a chance, just like the Dolphin's, to everyone else, a piece away. They're not a piece away. They were a piece away with Aaron Rogers. Bad division, they lost that piece. No, but they've got a great offensive line. Yeah. Okay, good commentary from the fourth ranked international football insider as it prepares you for not just dismiss some of these things. You know what I mean? Like okay,

win your division and then what? Okay, bounce in the first game of the playoffs. We get out of here to answer your question. Yes, the dolphins are a very good bordering on great team. I have them ranked number four in the NFL. You mentioned that last week. The thing I wanted to ask you. It's worth repeating, Dan. Yes, you've got them fourth in the league. Yeah, go check out my NFL rankings, which I put out every year.

These are great. I have the exact order one through 32. It's a beautiful, deep, high-end way of teams. Who's 26? You know, I'd have to look it up. Yeah, I'm not sure. Which I encourage listeners to do. Go look that up.

Just take Google Greg Goatee NFL team rankings. It comes right up. They deliver it right to your team. I want all your homerific picks. You say Phillips will lead the league in sacks and get to 20? Maybe. Tyree.

You keep making it a maybe. I don't understand what you're doing. Well, he said he might get to 20. You didn't say definitively. But you keep it up. I don't understand what you're doing well he said he might get to 20 you didn't say definitive you keep it I don't understand why you trying to help him out you're not trying to do anything other than undercut he is making with conviction these bold claims and you keep doing maybe's to him I don't do maybe's by the way no maybe about it number 26 in my ranking is the Titans the ghosts that they've given help to the ghosts of Ryan Tannihill.

They still have Derek Henry, defense socks. They won't do much of anything. Tyree Kill 2K. Okay, Tyree Kill will get his 2000 yards and break the NFL record. You're just Hulk Hogan right now. Jalen Waddle will receive for more than 1,500 yards. Wow. Toa will allay all doubts by playing in 16 of 17 games.

He will miss one game. Which game? You know what, I don't want to say. OK, that's. I could influence betting trends. There. Yeah, appreciate it. Yeah.

But yeah, the dolphins of the real deal. Meena Kimes, who knows the NFL as well as A-B-Going though, I wanna hear it. I don't want your thoughts. I thought, not Meena Kimes, I asked you. Okay, if I wanted to talk to Meena Kimes, I would do this with her. Okay, you want more of a stat break, girl?

I want you to tell me what all of your predictions are for Homerific, what is going to happen? Jalen Rams, he's gonna return and have 40 interception and 17 pick sixes. What's going to happen? No, Jalen is going to sack 20 times. He's going to lead the league with 26. Phillips. Jalen Phillips, what did I say?

Yeah, he was talking about Jalen Ramsley. Oh, if Ramsey has 26, that's unbelievable. Ramsey will... This is the most dangerous show with the Stubborn. Gamble on by draft Kings. Don Lebert hard. That's how it's going to end.

They're the mailing and end of the retirement. Chris go get me this is just an a be him coming out and hitting the one and two notes of that kind of thing and you know it and then just giving us finger guns and leave it.

WQAM, you know Hank Goldberg and Mark Eisenberg and it was six at Eddie Kaplan and Stugatz's response to me was a surprising one put them all out of business. We did. But I saw this weekend that there was one we did not put out of business and it made me smile. It really did to see Joe Rose answer the door in an air around the clock commercial. I saw it wearing a shirt that set on the front, Joe Rose.

That's what man. I like it. Big dog. It made me genuinely thrilled to see that him and Aaron the clock are still out here because this is, so God, this is gotten to be a tough business. There are not the business. Not for Joe Rose. Not for Joe Rose, man. He's a plow horse till the business. Not for Joe Rose. Not for Joe Rose, man. He's a plow horse till the end.

300 tight end receiving yards for Marino. No one has made more out of being a remora fish around the great white shark than Joe Rose wearing a shirt that said again in giant block wham letters, Joe Rose. Of course. We didn't put Joe Rose out of business because we hired Joe Rose to do mornings for her. Because you can't put Joe Rose out of business. He's got too many relationships in this market and no matter how good Stugots thinks he is and putting people out of business, Joe Rose and Kim Bo-Camp are will not be put out of business. So long as Hey Quarter Toyota keeps coming in with the money. That is correct.

And dry concepts. They've got the relationships Stug got things he has in this market. It's two gots does not have why because no one has that. These come from the dolphins past. They made friends with car dealers and air conditioning people and they will ride that to the grave. Radio can die! South Florida can sink and Joe Rose will still be telling you about Lenny Spiffy, Eddie and the rest. Shippy, whatever. Scotty and Mike. And Boorshead. Oh Boorshead. Those were the glory days in this market when a season started for the dolphins.

And it was allowed to have expectations like this. It's been 15 years. It's when what? Lamar Smith want to play off game and then they've played the bills with their backup quarterback and they played the Steelers with their backup quarterback. The league is built on parity. Everyone has the same salary cap. The dolphins are never here. And they're behaving right now.

Like they're never gonna get here again. It's trade everybody, get everybody. We're playing for right now. We don't even know if the stadium is gonna get swallowed by the shore. You have Joe Rose still reading air around the clock. Floating around. Floating around out of something on something made of bamboo. There will be no power, but he'll be here to tell you air around the clock. He can get you air around the clock because your wife is hot.

I love the big dog. The shirt said Joe Rose. Now Greg Cody fancies himself, you heard the authority. He just said, the Titans, man, no one's got the Titans falling like that. Titans have been good for a long time. Greg Cody's got them at 26th. Greg Cody's podcast, the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. With.

It's a fine. Yeah, has some sound of why it is that you should respect Greg Cody's expertise Here he is on Colorado football and Deon Sanders He's the most overhyped college coach in the country right now Colorado They were one and eleven last year He takes over the team changes the whole roster and now because he's a self-promoter year, he takes over the team, changes the whole roster. And now because he's a self promoter, coach prime, everybody thinks they're instantly going to be great. They're going to get their ass kicked this season. It's like Ridicca, they're ranked like in the 80s, like they are so far from the top 25, you need binoculars to see them.

The Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody with, with fun fun wherever you get your podcast. It's just you know when there's too much attention for too little reason my human nature is to go wow that it'd be it'd be fun to watch him fail. I know that's not a positive trait by me, but I'm just looking for Dion Sanders coach prime to fall flat on his face frankly because the hype is such that people just expect Colorado

to instantly be great. Yeah, that take hasn't aged particularly well. It sounded good coming out of my mouth. And by the way, I deny what everybody is saying, I categorically deny that I have something against Deon Sanders because two years ago... he had agreed to come on my podcast and changes mine because i would not agree to his personal assistance to man that i refer to him only as coach prime really no one you said that was about crazy i believe that a hundred percent

the way to minute this is a real story that uh... your petting this is showing so much your analysis of the on sand standards was based on him turning down a lot of all you i categorically deny that he denied it i denied a billy he's on the website but i believe it said after hearing about what you categorically billy after hearing about what he did to zack thomas what zack thomas did to him i can be petty i'll admit that he's actually come he's retracted that. He feels bad for not going. Yeah, it's a sign.

It's a sign on your dad always wants to be invited to shit like that. He gets invited and then says, well, only if you come on my podcast. Well, you know, let's not rehash that. But in the case of it's a give and take relationship. Yeah, you know, I have my integrity. Why am I gonna agree to,

only refer to him as coach, but he's not my coach. You know, I'll call him Dion Prime. I mean my integrity. Why am I going to agree to only refer to him as coach? He's not my coach. You know, I'll call him Deon Prime. I mean, Deon Prime. I'm not going to call him coach. We've had this very show had people come on and say these are the conditions in which you will appear on this show And we'll say no, we're not going to just do that. You can't buy me. Exactly. But if Dan was offered Deon Sanders today and had to call him Coach Prime Dan would take the interview and call him And also does it and also doesn't taint my coverage two years later Because I'm not a categorically soaked in bitterness

It is funny that he's got everyone calling him Coach Prime It should be Coach time. Did you see Colorado's like official university commercial is all about Dion. It's like this is the prime university in the prime college town with a prime education. He's paid for himself. He got a $29 million contract and they got $28 million in donations. They've got their season tickets sold out for the first time in more than a quarter of a century. He did more transfers than anyone, 53. Well, I mean, we're not even pretending anymore. We're never mind about what this used to be.

The greatest mercenary in sports that you've just about ever seen. Just took college football by storm, by taking everyone out there in the Louis Vuitton baggage, getting all those players out of there, bringing his own 53 in. And if that's how we're gonna do business in the business of college sports

to got's where USC can just get a quarterback coach combo and fix everything, well, the end comes with 53 of them. Right. And he's changed the rules. He's never played by the rules. And now, he has done something that left me flabbergasted

to God's because that was one of the worst power conference schools I've ever seen last year. Ever, but just truly, truly terrible. And to go from that, to go, and you can, man, so many of you want to knock TCU fine. They've got three starters returning. They can't play defense. I saw the throws. Dion's kid was making those throws work against anybody.

Going to be funny when his kid transfers to Alabama. And Dion is that FSU. I don't think that the TCU being overrated and Colorado being better than we thought are like mutually exclusive things. I think they can both be true at the same time. And I think that's like the case here. I'm always a little worrisome of going week one and just absolutely like taking these expectations.

Colorado's got a fighting Nebraska team next week. TCU is not as good as we think they are. What Deon has done is very impressive, but I think we should just like slow down. Tap the brakes. Now it was a cool moment. And I understand what you're saying, but I was uncomfortable. He did a great job. But the amount of praise being heaped on Deon Sanders

as if he was the guy out there making the actual place. He was not dead. But his son was. Dylan Edwards was. Oh God. Travis Hunter was. It was not all Deon said. His defense gave up 40 plus.

Deon. A Hall of fame player of this caliber. There's one best corner back ever. It's him. Change the sport coming out of college was was Braschen cartoonish 30 years ago is the guy in the commercials with Nick Sabin, not any other coach. He's the second most famous coach in college in America. Second, he's more excellent at what he did for a career than any of those coaches are at

anything and now he brings an army of players with him you can reduce your expectations if you like he's already exceeded mine they went and beat a ranked team for the first time in thirty years that was an epically bad program you can tamp you can tap the brakes if you want i'm telling you that that's something worth celebrating. An anarchist who had to go through the black college route

because nobody thought he could coach. Nobody thought, nope, you can't have a chance. You're not excellent enough. You have Steve Kirk and have a chance over here, Derek Fisher. You can't have a chance, Deon. You've got to go to a school whose funding is so bad that when you get to the Colorado program terrible, you're awed by the facilities.

But Dan, I'm not tapping the brakes. I think, and I thought this before it happened. I said, Dion, Florida, state should fire their coach and hire Dion Sanders. But she looks really good. I believe in Dion Sanders. I do. I'm not tapping the brakes. I was just uncomfortable with all the credit going to Dion Sanders and and none of it going to the kids Travis Hunter was talked about plenty

We all learn the name celebrated D on over the weekend. We all learn the name Saturday of Travis Hunter If you did not know it before and you care about sports That's what happened Saturday a star coach and a star player made an appearance to now, make expectations when they go to Nebraska, higher and different. But I'm just telling you that what I saw from a competence perspective, I don't care the TCU can't play defense.

I'm telling you that those quarter back, that quarterback hitting those receivers, he was throwing a ball that will make them competitive in all their games and I didn't think they would would be the betting line didn't think they would be it was three touchdowns That's the first time they've beaten a ranked team on the road in 30 years as a program Like you can not you can just celebrate it because it's seismic It's unbelievable what he just did they play for the national championship last year It could not have started better because it wasn't just that they won

Holy shit. Did you want to watch that game? Yeah, it was fun to watch I'm sorry if I seem distracted greenie just picked the Steelers to win the fc North What is he smoking? That's a bad conference division division division. Yeah, it's a great conference and actually it isn't a bad conference. Um, division. Division. Yeah, it's a great conference. And actually, it isn't a bad division. It's an average division. Why don't you say that?

Come on, Patrick. Patrick, you're mine. What's an average division? Things are fluid, Patrick. I want to replay that last tense, I can't get fluid situation in the average division. It's not a bad division. DCC New, and then proof down,

let's start a show with the Stugas. Gamble on by Draftkins. Don Lebatard. I miss crank windows. Too many unnecessary convenience is now cruise control. Please, I've got cruise control built in. It's called my right foot. It controls how fast the car goes. No button for steering wheel lever needed. Power steering. There's another one. Why don't I want to give my

power to the car? The power that I once had. The car is a ton of metal. I'm a damn college graduate. Stugots. Blue2HD radios. Satellite. I'll take AM please with Wolfman Jack talking through the static and I'll crank the windows down so everybody can hear I'm Greg Cody and that's how it was back in my day VCC Don LeBathar Show with their StuGats Presented by Draft King Sportsbook, one of America's top rated sports book apps.

Just generally confused by a freshman being able to be that size. And I'm also genuinely interested in this part because you guys during the break were still not wanting to give Dion credit. And I do think it's funny when the story arc is, you believe guys gonna suck. He shows you week one. Oh, quite the opposite. That's the best start we possibly could have had. Both of you react with, yeah, tap the brakes. Show me in week two. Nah, it's Nebraska.

Show me against Alabama. Yeah. And okay, we'll get there. Just the fact that we're talking about this way, about Dion, and that he's already paid for himself. So, God, it's the program. Think about what just happened. The program couldn't afford that coach,

didn't have the money, hired him anyway. The fans, they crowdsourced, they got him there, and they got $28 million, and now they've got season tickets, and now they've got the hottest story in sports all weekend. He's already paid for himself. I understand that, it's a great story. I myself believed in Dion Sanders before Saturday's win. I did. You're basing all of this off of one game like one game. It's one game. They beat TCU in a quarterback who's playing his first

college game and they gave up 40 points. It's the only game they played. He's only had one chance. I know But you're acting like this is the greatest thing we've ever seen. It's one. They're one and oh It's a cool story. I know I'm not gonna. I don't care whether they go five and seven or not I'm set like I don't know what you're you're so eager to tap the brakes on Enthusiasm for the coolest story in college football this week. I feel like you guys switched roles. Like I feel like Dan may be a prisoner of the moment here in Stugotts is like, let's have perspective. That's true.

But right. But I'm not even talking about my point isn't that this team is going to be great. My point is simply that what I saw in the first game is they're going to be a hell of a lot better than I or anyone thought they would be. They couldn't be any worse. Agreed. Agreed, but we thought that this was going to be some sort of joke. Let's play all of the wrong that we have heard around here. I was just looking at the schedule, and I don't know if you want to do wins or losses with this time.

I think there's no chance. Colorado might win zero games this year, which would be really really bad from what I've heard I've heard a couple of people say all had no calf like although no show, but actually all show no no What's the schedule at the beginning Billy? Who's the cat? W's and L's I love this alright at TC TCU tough game. Hell that's a tough game. That's a tough guy. He's the most over hyped college coach in the country right now. That's an L.

We're getting a little worried about Colorado football back here.

And we're just kind of looking at it saying like, we're gonna win. How will the coach prime gimmick? I want him to succeed. Let me get out ahead and say that. I want him to succeed, but I also kind of see this may blow up. I'm assuming he's going to get his ass kicked for the first year, because maybe you could do it the way Lincoln Riley does. This may blow up. I'm assuming he's going to get his ass kicked for the first year because Maybe you could do it the way Lincoln Riley does you show up at USC with the same number of portal and transfer players and immediately USC goes from an average program

to a borderline contender program, but Colorado's really bad like they are so far from the top 25 you need binoculars to see them I don't think it's actually going to be successful if I had to bet on one of the two Stugots for the people who do not remember this glorious glorious history of the coach of this football team showed up at his final college game in a top hat and a tuxedo pulled out of a limo with a 0.0 GPA because he'd already gone pro he could play baseball or football and He turned into one of the first loud renegade. I'm not gonna change for anyone athletes That's that we had in the 90s. Played two sports was great at both. I've told you a story.

One of my favorite poets ever was Muddy Field, Steve Walsh, DA Wonsstedt, playoff game in San Francisco. Wonsstedt's only throwing to half the field. It's a muddy field, half the field because he's afraid of Deon. Running off the field with Deon after the game, his uniform, muddy playoff game,

isn't all that dirty. And I asked him if he'd ever played in a game so boring and his response was, it's called baseball. He was helicoptering and flying in between Atlanta and Miami to play a football game and a playoff game in baseball on the same day. And he comes out of college at one of the original mercenaries, one of the original businessmen like shook all the constructs to God's because how can this guy

behave this way? Because he was more excellent than anyone else. Because he was that good. Gave his feet to the cause. He is missing toes because he can't walk very well anymore because it was hard to do what he did., quite as it's kept, one of the most prepared athletes ever. People thought he just had a gift because he was faster than everybody else. He did, but he was also a mercenary who took his craft very seriously and he's been warning you for a while that this team and he is coming. He is coming and he just stole the first weekend of the year. This is how he debuted though.

I wanna play this video in honor of him, his music video, again, must be the money. That's how he came out of college in the 90s. Just wants money, throwing that in everybody's face, and then he makes this music video. Well, all right. Yeah. You know ever since 5th or 3rd,

growing 1980 man, when I've signed, I got a land. Yeah You know ever since I turn throw a 1980 man when I said I got a lot Strange things change, but a better end for the birth. So I call my mom and she says baby It's got to be because I got I Every day of the week, my hair is done, nothing else to hold And this button's now in, I don't know what to do anymore I'll sleep the money, turning down my money Please, please let him dominate College football It's such a good story, it is not a good song Yeah, good, I like that decent. Yeah, you're both wrong

But he's been slick for such a long time and to see this reinvention Stugots I don't know why there would be any need to poo poo it like let the man Let the man have his week He has a fundamental misunderstanding of what the media's job is because he asked Edward or this week and he's like do you believe in worders response you can imagine word right wait word or left cowboys camp no yes for a moment just went to Texas just went to Texas Christian nearby ESPN sent it to cowboys correspondent over there and you can imagine how tired cowboy Edward is of the entire Dion experience. And he's got a track across the desert to get to where TCU is. And sit in the locker room and have Dion yell at him. You don't believe. Do you believe

and word is response because he's a grizzled, grizzled veteran was in what? grizzled grizzled veteran was in what he won't be rattled. It's not even rattled, it's just at this point, you can go to that word or about anything in life. And you'd be like, this whole industry is beating it down, right? Like it's a hard cover in the Cowboys and talking about DAC every day. Like it's, yeah, you must be tired.

Do you believe in what? In Disney, in what in Disney in sports coverage in reporting in the life of journalists on the sideline in what Deon wants people to celebrate with him and of course this is going to be instead of just excellence and success it also will be polarizing but that's good for business it's been good for his business forever see you said that like you can't like crap on what Deon is doing and I agree he's been what a fantastic first win like all the credit there, but for me as someone who just loves

college football so much, it scares me about the expectations for head coaches going forward. Deon is actually not the only coach that has done this whole transfer thing to this level. Texas State beat Baylor this weekend and that was a coach that brought in 50 new players as well. That's going to become the standard. It's going to be even tougher for coaches to retain their job because they're going to say, hey, Deon got to Colorado one immediately and that kind of freaks me out. Lucy, I could not possibly care less about the people running these programs feeding off of the injustices for as long as they have. Of course, Bishop Sikhamor and a team with an army of soldiers are going to show up for the money

because Kirk Farant has been too safe and his job for too long. And of course, if I can make my program who have no money and be a bad, terrible, terrible power conference team. And overnight, I can hire a guy and his expendables, his crew, and win, and win the day the way Colorado did this weekend. Do you know how much value there is? Money value in Colorado, nowhere program for a quarter of a century. Still got, they have not mattered since they want a co-national title and everyone in the roster have been arrested. Everyone on their roster was arrested. They won the title and then football has not

mattered there for a really long time. This is not the primest job that prime could get. This is the only one that he could get one with no money. And he won't be there long. Probably not because he's underpaid already. He has already paid for himself just by doing the media circuit this week. Just by wandering around doing the interviews on,

can you believe what I just did? I changed college football. It doesn't matter if it echoes or not. Like obviously in the long term, maybe it'll change the business construct or not. But I'm so tired of these coaches, like dabble, swing it, go away. Good. You had a nice run.

And now let's see what you can do. Now you let's see what you can do in this climate. Let's make that a democracy. You've been bullying players forever. Now let's see what it looks like when you can't get all the guys because somebody else gets all the guys. I think the forgotten part of this though is there were 50 players on that Colorado team who had to leave.

Some of them weren't, all of them weren't good enough for Deon and that's fair and that's fine But I remember just reading the stories of kids who are like my dad played here. This was my dream school I got recruited here. I've been here three years. I have to go that's gonna become the normal So just think about these kids who have to leave their school their friends their their lives Lucy's a new coach comes in what you're what you're saying on both counts, the humanity of coaches and kids, you are so right. And welcome to business arriving at college football. It's what it's gonna look like.

It's gonna take a cruel capitalistic hatchet to everything because they're all fighting for the TV money. And the players are disposable, and the coaches are disposable, and it's all made for television content. You're absolutely right. And it's all gonna get hatcheted by commerce. and the players are disposable and the coaches are disposable and it's all made for television content

you're absolutely right and it's all gonna get hatcheted by commerce
