Diana thing working post game That's crazy Yeah I don't even know what it is What you guys are talking about there He saw a dead body Yeah He saw a dead body and alerted the cops

Yeah Let me get the Which is the second strangest thing That happened to him that day Because he ate 11 bananas During the game Yeah 11 11 bananas

That seems like too much potassium Do you guys think When you watch Mac Jones Playing that game and see specifically the way the 49ers are all hurt and George Kittle and their wide receivers play styles that hurt the body. Mack Jones was ravaged physically in the last game and still overcame it. It was impressive to watch. He was hit pretty hard.

And he was hurt in this game and he's still feeling it. Every time I see him in that uniform, I think back to Shanahan wanted him over Trey Lans and then got talked into Trey Lans. It's like he always liked Mack Jones. And I mean, Kyle Shane, I know he's got to do it. He's had leads in Super Bowls. As an offensive coordinator and as a head coach, I know he's got to win the big one for some people. But it's irrefutable that he is just like a tier above. What he can do with injured teams, what he can do with cast off quarterbacks, it's unbelievable.

You don't put O'Connell and McVeigh... I feel like it's those three. Those are the three. The results, I mean, it's hard for us to know what good coaching is. Rable's also like a hell of an underdog. I'm so happy to have that back of my life. But to be able to win a game with Mack Jones as quarterback when everyone in the league wrote them off, Carson Wentz, same deal.

Baker Mayfield, when McVeigh did it before, like those guys are just a notch above. It seems like there's like three or four guys in the NFL that can really truly put any QB in their system. Who's the fourth? Because I said three. Who else would be putting in there? I thought McDaniel was like pacing towards there, but not anymore. Andy Reed? I'd probably throw Andy Reed in there. He did it with Alex Smith.

I'll allow it. Thank you. You guys have that as a skill, which would be a pretty great skill for any coach to have. It would be more valuable than all the other skills. Can you turn? Sean Payton? Yeah, he's going to. So it's five.

Five. But that's it. No one else is getting in. I kind of like Liam Cohen if you can turn around with Trevor Lawrence. Kind of like it. This is our analysis. of these things in this sport. There's a coach who can come over here

and just make quarterbacks magical. Andy Reid has always been that guy. He just so happens to have the go now, but he did with Alex Smith. Donovan McNabb. Ty Demmer. Coy Deppmer. Giving Michael Vic like that incredible comeback.

Kevin Cobb. Jeff Garcia. Kevin Cobb. I enjoyed again for the third straight Saturday driving around and listening to college football local broadcast during the afternoon. And today's, or Saturday,

days was this uh these two sentences put together you'll recognize the game i assume from what it is that he described the announcer yelled what a juke by gunner there are some kentucky underwear at the eight yard line um so the visual magic of radio made it so that what i conjured in athens was uh you know just some kentucky underwear at the eight yard line but i i believe he was taking some creative liberties there. The SEC, we've seen enough to know that that's not special anymore. They're the ACC with a better publicist

and bigger NIL budgets. But every week you can expect now that parody is there and certain programs aren't giving carte blanche to cheat. Yeah, I said it. You're going to see a lot more of this. But the narrative is going to remain the same. You're going to have three lost teams still

making the playoff because ESPN won't allow for us to apply context of what's going on. Oh, but the flames have climbed high enough on James Franklin in Penn State that these two last, these last two are crushers because he's supposed to have a talented team this year. This is supposed to be the team that was the most talented of them. And we go from Oregon and overtime and there's a lot of parity to this league to, oh, no, a real college football giant never loses to the O and 14. team, whether they've fired their coach, whether it's UCLA or not. That's something that never happens in the sport.

And so now Penn State gets just immediately swept out to see. Season of grand expectations, the grandest of James Franklin's life, gets swept right out to see four games in, five games in. But they'll be back in the top ten if they beat Ohio State. I'm not wrong. That's how this goes. If Miami loses, though, they can't come back from that. It'll be 23.

Miami's going to end up being really obnoxious to people. The Michael Irvin stuff, like the... Good, that's how you know we're back. Although when they try to change the rules on us, when they blame NIL, when they do what they do with the Florida Panthers, which is blame state tax. That's how you know.

If Miami loses one game, they're going to... With a tributary, or a trulogy, excuse me. That's tribis.
