You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. These side marios all you can eat is all you can maja soup, salad, and garlic I'm gonna move on up in! Welcome to the big sui! Presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not gonna apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries

that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it. And now, here's the marching band to nowhere, that face and the habitual liar. Stugots has some of this a little bit backward. He has already done God bless football, and now he is doing his football research.

And so he just said to me. Never stopped there. He just said to me during the break, hey, Dan, the Ravens, the only other teams that have led for as much of the season as the Ravens have because they've been way ahead in all of these games. The Browns, I think that's one of the rarest times of a team winning a game where they trail that thoroughly throughout.

And Stugots just discovered that the other teams that have led as long as the Ravens have this season throughout history, all 10 and no. Yes. All of them, they, they led because they started the season as one of the great teams of all time, including the 84 dolphins. 10 and no. Yeah. Yes.

And that is what is happening to the Ravens and it is weird. We're going to get to a variety of football things in a second But I see the back road there is eating delightful Delightfully ethnic breakfast so God's had a Incredibly sad piece of bacon for breakfast. Uh-huh Billy is he's got do you have Banco it's a tostada. Okay tostada, but I'm not with cafekon lichy You don't dip it in in like coffee you just eat it dry No, I was on the run right now. I could but I didn't have time. Yeah, okay Chris. What are you eating there?

An empanada The gas station empanada in South Florida Stu gots and I think in the south in general I think I can say this the gas station food in the south is better than the north put it on the pole Judeo at Levitard show is gas station food in the south better than than the north. Put it on the pole, Judeo-Atleta-Tard show, is gas station food in the south better than in the north? Why do you say that? I just seen full barbecues and fried chicken

and assortment of ethnic foods and just an assortment of proud regional identity that you'll find in gas stations. But one of the things that I've got to think, I have to think that this isn't everywhere in the South, that this is not even everywhere in Florida. The sheer amount of Mariquitas, of banana chips, that we sell in our gas stations down here in Dave County,

I find it perpetually hard to resist, because if you're offering me salty crunchy at every turn and it's just pounds and bags and bags that are just heavy. It's not they're not cheating you like Mickey Erison does on the media chips at the heat games. These are big bags of chips that will fill you up. I have put it on the pole, Jude. Do you have trouble resisting the gas station, Mariquita? The ones we had up on the screen, the Mariquitas, classic with the yellow bag are incredible.

And those, like you said, Dan, a lot of chips these days, the chip people, big chip got smart, Dan. What they said is, you know what? People will buy anything, one, two, if we sell them more air than chip, they'll buy it. And that's what they've done to us. The biggest crime perpetrated on the American people

has been chips. We're buying air people. Stop buying chips. One, two, buy mighty geetas because what they're going to give you is 75% chip, 25% here. A lot of chip. Do any of you have trouble resisting the gas station, mighty geetas? This is the sole lament of the fat man here. I get that every single time I walk in. Every single time I walk in, I get mighty geetas because they are irresistible. And the lime flavor is crazy. The the flavor, do you go like crazy?

The lime flavor is crazy. Oh, the lime flavor. The lime flavor. It's either plain or lime. I don't think I've walked into a gas station since the Obama administration. You don't ever pick up water. You don't want smoke.

No, you've never gotten beer. You've never gotten beer. I've never gotten beer. I've never gotten beer. You've never gotten beer. I've never gotten beer. I've never gotten beer. I've never gotten beer.

I've never gotten beer. I've never gotten beer. I've never gotten beer. I'm sorry, but also I'm here to defend the Northeast. You've never gotten a hoogie from Wawa. Don't say Wawa's a hoogie. They got that in their office. Yeah, Wawa here. Yeah, but don't say it's a gas station. They're very, not a gas station. Great milkshake to the gas station.

Sorry to Wawa, you're a gas station. You don't get to claim Wawa because there's one in Durral. In a rich way, it's 127, too. Yeah, you don't get to claim it. And of course I do. It's in Miami, dude, I can claim whatever I want. No, because it was one in Doral. And originally, it was in 127, too. Yeah, you don't get to claim it. And of course I do. What do you find? It's in Miami, dude, I can claim whatever I want. No, because it was invented in Philadelphia.

I don't care where it was invented. There's so many in Miami that we can claim it. It's in Broward, too. You don't want to be on the wrong side of history in the South. Mike only goes into the gas station when he gets that God for saking, see the cashier. I hate that.

When I'm trying to pay for gas outside, it's like, see the cashier. You know what I do? See you cashier. You know what I do? See you later. Yeah. I'll take my chances. Next day, she's got to be there's got to be another one down this road. No, but how about you get your chips in order? Seriously. Like I want to do the chip. I want to do it outside. It never works. Then I try to stick it in and it says malfunction. Come inside.

I want to go and I don't have to look at number pump on my right. I see six. So that must be on the other side. I would rather push my car up the Florida turn pipe than come in and see you. I don't understand why you're being such a gas station snob. We have a lot of, we have a lot of culture in our gas stations, depending on where it is that you go. You will feel a neighborhood's, you can feel a neighborhood's culinary soul down here in South Florida where there are many where you will not

get somebody speaking English and what they are serving you is incredibly ethnic food and it's not like it's not like the sad Derrick Queen hot dogs. It's people who are taking pride in their gas station. Hot cuisine. I don't like when there's line chaos in a gas station. Like I don't like when the line goes like up one of the rows and then someone walks in and they don't see that there's a line established down this row. So they're standing to the side a little bit. It's just chaos

I don't like being in it and it makes these little scared. The panna express in Weston's whala is maybe the most culturally ethnic place I've ever been into my life Is the empanada almost always great except for the occasional dry ones like Banada's feel to me like they're in the what is closest to the realm of pizza where there is not There's not really such a thing is bad unpleasant pizza. They're less good bad pizza. I mean you can even want it bad. It's good Whatever you can say that's that's but largely even even though you don't wanna eat in a hospital pizza, there are places where there are bad pizza.

Largely, if I tell somebody, here's some pizza, if you're not a discerning pizza snob, most of it is fine. It's hard to screw up melting cheese on bread. That is correct. So, but I'm asking you if the empanada, have you guys had many bad empanadas? Is that like, if they're properly moistened,

they're always wonderful. I think it's the filling too. You gotta get the right filling. Cause sometimes if you get a spinach one, the spinach one could be a little dry depending on when it was made and how it was shipped to you and where you bought it. And if it's been sitting under the lights, you know what I mean?

I aired, I mean, you gotta have meat in there. Get your spinach shit, the bleep out of here. Terrible, get it out of here, right? Exactly. No, thank you. But when you bite into one expecting meat and you get the spinach shit the bleep out of here. Terrible, get it out of here. Exactly. No, thank you. But when you bite into one expecting meat and you get the spinach, oh, it's got to be meat just because it's what you signed up for.

It's the hidden treasure. It cannot be spinach. The hidden treasure cannot be spinach. The beautiful thing about the Hispanic people is that we let people know about things, right? We the Mariguita is 75%, 25%, every time you look at it in Parana, there's going to be somewhere in the dough on the top ridges it'll tell you what it is there'll be CH chicken there'll be P for also chicken for boyo but you have

meat godness CM a lot of learning on the show someone who hasn't learned since burning his mouth on the original microwave and Greg Cody's home on a hot pocket Chris Cody was the amateur who pulled the impanata out of the microwave, took a big bite out of it, and then started fanning at his face as if he was being attacked. I'm a pro though. I didn't let the food go to the top of my mouth. So I just kind of keep the food in the stomach. I was just not as good. I was never burning really. I didn't burn the top of my mouth. I just, you do the disgusting,

what you were doing is breathing throughout the room. I was wondering why when I walked away, you're like, I'm gonna start with that. I was like, what, me enjoying my breakfast? No, you were blowing Fimpinata fumes in everyone's face because you were holding the chewed up remnants of it on your tongue, waiting for it to cool off. I get a little flavor now with my blow. Usually you blow on it before you bite it. I'm enjoying, waiting for it to cool off. I get a little flavor now with my blow.

Usually you blow on it before you bite it. I'm enjoying flavor while blowing. It was an unpleasant thing that you did throughout our newsroom is you're blowing empanada breath at everybody aggressively because you don't know how to eat an empanada from the micro. Where Chris got it wrong is that you can't blow out, right?

And that's why I called it the chimney because when you do it, you gotta blow up right so when you blow up you go people don't see it because if I do it face to face with you Dan then you're getting it right in your face huh if you blow up though what you got to you risk burning you're the back of your mouth that's right he was being totally 45 degrees is like the perfect I want to I want to get back to Stugat's, the details on this Jimbo Fisher buyout. Because I will remind you that very recently, college sports were behaving as if they weren't a giant business that could have so much money everywhere that they can buy out a thoroughly mediocre SEC coach, like wildly

mediocre for $76 million. That's not just $76 million to guys because that detail enough, the Jimbo Fisher getting $76 million is amazing enough by itself, but how he's getting it stugats? Doesn't have precedent in the history of american sports okay it really doesn't and certainly not college sports within sixty days texas a and m has to give him nineteen point four million dollars in the next sixty days right in the next hundred and twenty days they got to give him another seven point two million dollars the entirety of his contract is such to gots that even if he gets another job,

there's no offset clause. Jimbo Fisher got such a leverage deal because he was so coveted because he had James Winston, the only quarterback he's ever had. He made James Winston, James Winston made him. And since then he hasn't had a developed quarterback, always has great recruiting classes classes always 500 hasn't won any big games any road games any close games all he does is losing away that embarrasses Texas a nm which has so much money that they can afford to run him off and the money's all guaranteed stugants and it's not offset according to Darren Revelle if he gets another job so he's's got the, he runs the possibility

of getting a pay raise for all of this because he will have another one to work. But if he wants to work at all, he will have another job that also pays him a great deal of money. It's an amazing gig. Would you want to work? Like if you were guaranteed $76 million

over the next, I don't know, six years or so. Would you want to work at all? And that's gonna be interesting to see what he does. He doesn't have to. But it depends on whether you love your job or not, right? Because otherwise, I would have retired already. I would have retired already as a single man on my life. If I didn't love my job, Jimbo Fisher is someone.

It's a hell of a flex. No, I'm just, it's a no. I get the point, but. I avoid they know. Good for you. Hella of a flex. No, I'm just, it's not. No, I get the point, but. No, boy, they know. Good for you. Hella of a flex though. No, I don't know. But it's not that.

It's just, no, it's just enough to live comfortably. It's enough to live, I'm not gonna be living like Jimbo Fisher. This is, Well, he has no kids, so he doesn't have to worry about the next generation of Lebitards is what he's saying. That's a big deal.

I've just been single all my life is what I'm saying. And I'll do it until the last five years and I haven't had to spend a lot of money on things. And because of that, if I didn't love what it is we were doing for work, I would have stopped working already and gone to be with my wife and just travel and stuff. I don't know what the answer to this is, but Jimbo Fisher can get work again. I just can't believe that as a pedestrian a coach's Jimbo Fisher is, that this is the cost. Like this. I mean, how do you have the

money? This is a, this is a middling SEC school crude oil futures. Don Lebertard. He said while you were off there while the connection was bad, he had mentioned that you have lost a lot of weight and that he admires that. What got into you? Why did you decide? I thought it was all I thought we enjoyed being about the monkey. Yeah. Oh, it's learning again.

Okay. The connection is bad again. Unfortunately back to mag this. Okay. Back to mag this is this. Back to Magnus Magnus. And this is going about as well. I said, oh, thank you, Billy, again, for laughing in my face. Stugats.

Magnus Magnus. I have much to say. Can you ask me? Yes, we can hear you. Hello. Yes, sir, action. Hello. Action.

Man, I'm really sorry. This is literally the worst way to ever do this. This is burning my heart that this is happening. But if you could hear me, just understand I'm sorry. This is the Dalébatá show with Estoucats. I don't mean to keep you daily updated or weekly updated on this, but Hermond Plus continues to tempt me trying to get my 1199 a month most recently not just with the

curse which I have not checked out yet. Good burger too. A mille vanilla documentary. There was a very popular music act that toward the country that was doing music and they were lip syncing the entire time. Let me save you three hours, they faked it. The end. I know, but that's what you've been doing for 20 years and it's not yet the end. Cliff notes. You are still here faking it and alive and vibrant barely.

Well, yes, that's true. Yesterday, one of the things that I thought was interesting to God's about the football because by itself that was a bad slate. But this is the magic. When five of them are decided by field goals and two of them are decided by interceptions because everybody is so closely matched and everyone is that Seattle Washington game. When so much of the sport is that the magic of the sport is somehow stew got five games coming down to the last kick, two of them coming down to a game winning interception. It doesn't matter who the teams are.

It doesn't matter the uniforms, the laundry, it's just drama, drama, drama, tension, tension, tension. And also, hey, look, CJ Stroud is a total star. And Houston has something that every team in the league envies because every not every team in the league, every fan base in sports envies what Houston has at quarterback because you're like, oh, shit, they're going to be great forever as long as he doesn't get hurt. This isn't Kyler Murray.

This isn't a temporary thing. That guy, no matter who I put him with, is going to be poised as a quarterback for a decade making longer throws down the field. He is throwing the ball. He is slinging in an elite that has gotten awfully sphincter congested throwing the ball with check downs. Everybody's got Kenny Pickett.

Nobody's got CJ Stroud. The NFL is amazing where you care about Arizona and you care about the Atlanta Falcons. And you have no reason to care about those two teams, but the game was so great. Kyle Murray's back. There are storylines. So you care about the Atlanta Falcons and you have no reason to care about those two teams, but the game was so great. Kyle Murray's back. There are storylines. So you care about it. The Texans have that thing, Dan. They have, I call the thing, the thing that every NFL team wants.

They have the rookie quarterback on a rookie contract who's as good as any quarterback in the NFL. And now they can build around that thing. They have it. They have the guy. And if you're Carolina, what you must be thinking for taking the wrong guy, that has to stay. It just has to hurt.

Especially with no first round draft, I can't get that going to Chicago. I'd like to gauge the room because something was happening in my group chats yesterday that a lot of people were complaining about this NFL season. I guess because scoring is down, people are complaining that with bad football.

I happen to think the NFL is awesome this year. This is a complimentary football that I grew up watching. I think this is probably in my lifetime the best past rushing generation I've ever seen. It has to be. I've never seen so many, got Max Crosby play in last night. Miles Garrett, every team has what it feels like. I could watch my last year.

I could try to chase down Lamar Jackson for the entirety of my life. Micah Parsons. There's two boasts killing it. It's an unbelievable time to have this many great past rushers. I'd also say that the cornerback play, which was really struggling over the last few years to find its footing against all the new rules is finally coming online. And we're seeing really great secondary play. You actually legitimately believe that these tough hard-nosed defensive minded teams in the AFC North might actually have a shot when they draw the likes of Kansas City, perhaps in the first round. I love the NFL right now. I look at that ASC playoff picture and I can't wait for these potential games, but because scoring is down, you have people doing

the, there's too many Kenny pickets, there's too many check downs and I love it. It actually feels like the parody we keep alleging is in this sport. One of the things though that happens yesterday is Chargers Lions. One of the things that happens is Texans Bengals, where you're watching up and down the field in a way that doesn't feel as constipated as the Steelers Packers game. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Nobody wants to watch. No, I mean, no one wants to see a blowout, but I count me in the, I know that this is a losing hand. Everyone likes, I'm not here to say that

Chargers Lions is a bad game. I'd be foolish to say, I enjoyed that game greatly. I enjoy like these shootouts too, but to say things that a defensive minded struggle isn't a good game when it's competitive, I'm not in that class. I like seeing good defense. I like trying to figure out how Mike Tomlin's going to win and have a six and three record, despite being outgained for the ninth consecutive game. I love this about the sport right now.

You cannot say that you love watching Kenning Pickett. You can't say it. I think he's coming online. I think he's making plays with his feet. He is making plays, though. That's complimentary football. Right. Babe, that's what this is. Oh, no, put it on the porch. He's right, babe. Babe, that's what this is.

That's complimentary football. Yes or no? Can you pick it to Jalen Warren for three yards? Got it. Not everyone has a tour to Teri Kill. Not everyone has CJ Stroud. Not everyone has Joe Burrow to Jamar Shades. So you have to do what you have to do to decide

to win the game. Yes. And I understand what Caroline is doing. Like, let's go along and Bryce Young because I guess he's going to be the greatest quarterback. And people will get lucky. And someone will pass on on CJ Stroud. Someone will be there to collect him. And you hope you have a quarterback

that'll keep you relevant for 20 years. That's the end game. I understand that changes the math. But when you are stuck with a Kenny picket, how do you win when you're up against these great quarterbacks? You went up by playing the type of football that they're playing right now, and I think that's admirable.

That's the boring football. That's the argument you make when you don't have CJ Straks. Kenny picket had a QBR of 24 left yesterday and a win. And six and three, that is correct. Same record as the better record that CJ Straks. I get it, But I like seeing these teams that are overmatched actually have chances now because the defense has gotten that much better. The game's being close like that. The the aberration being the Titans Tampa Bay game and

the Cowboys Giants game. You've come to expect that in the witching hour you're going to get something. The witching hour, but 345 something's going to be decided late that will grab your attention just because it's football late. It doesn't it's it's the magic of it. Seahawks commanders. If you're offensive minded you're probably saying this is a crap game but it's close. The Browns Ravens

got you yesterday. It was a great game. What defenses were making tremendous plays. Quarterbacks were making plays with their feet in pots. I don't know how anyone does anything against the Ravens. Have you watch them play defense? They wrecked the line of what they do. Have you watched what they do? You got middle line backers running up to the line and then doing a dead sprint out of your picture. You're like, what the hell is this quarterback supposed to do? What are they doing on D. I really, the part I enjoy about the Ravens though this it's not my favorite part, but it's up there. Clowning, no training camp, just show up 17 Sundays and be a basketball player, be a power forward

that no one can block and get to the backfield in two seconds because all of these teams have these past rushers. Clownies and also ran in this generation. He had two sacks yesterday. There's two boasts, and we only talk about one of them really. Like Khalil Mac had like 17 sacks in a game. He's not the best squad. Yeah.

It's an insane time. And these incredible athletes. I mean, guys, that is, if you like sports for the athleticism watching, what Max Crosby and Zach Wilson did at the end of that game, that is compelling and that is height of athleticism of the sport. And that's Zach Wilson, a punchline. He can hit it with a suitor step to evade and throw a ball 50 yards down field and by God bless, Ty Conklin.

Incredible past defense. Max Crosby is a specimen. Have you seen Max, there's a video circulating of Max Crosby playing pickup basketball at like a double run to park somewhere and like I don't know where. And he's throwing down like windmill slams. He's playing like LeBron and I'm like,

where did this deck come from? We've mentioned it before. He's got two X's in his name. Yeah, it should be three. It's terrifying But it on the pole plays should Max Crosby have three X's in his first name Dificoripath Zach Wilson the Zach Wilson throw that you mentioned the Hail Mary Stugots It reminds me of something that happened yesterday And I wonder how you would feel if you have a bet on this game. Roy was lamenting.

He was spitting at his microphone before we turned it on. He was so mad at the New York Rangers because he had a four team, four leg parlay and he just needed the Rangers to beat the worst team in the league by more than a goal and they did not. But imagine you've got money on this game. Should have hedged it. James Winston drops back to past and he's throwing a hail Mary. And in Texas, as he's doing this, they go to commercial, right in the middle of it,

and it's a commercial for undisputed. And when they come back from the commercial in parts of Texas, it's not James Winston or whatever happened on the play. It's Cowboys Giants. And so you're watching, you're watching that game, or whatever happened at the end of that game, and you're somebody who doesn't have one of these channels that gives you everything.

This should be a bigger story. There are fans in Houston that are really mad about what happened because you cannot have the computer buffering, then you cannot go to an undisputed commercial of all things and then return to action and it's a different game. And the worst game of the weekend. You can't watch the whole game and then you if you're watching that whole game. Okay, one team's got its third string quarterback and at some point in that game's to got Derek Carr leaves and they're like

point in that game to got Derek Car leaves and they're like shoulder or concussion. I don't know. It's James time. It's something it's James time, baby. With James though, if that happens, like you can guess how it ends, right? Like he had his two touchdowns. So you know, you know what we're do for there. James was happy. Anytime James comes in, you can pencil for two touchdowns and three picks.

Doesn't matter what half, doesn't matter what quarter, he's going to throw inexplicable balls to somebody. He makes me smile. That's all I can say. I see him on the field and I'm happier. There was a play where he ran out to the other hash, right? Saw a guy, 40 yards down the field. I saw that. I actually. Yes, throws a ball a hundred miles out right now it was a terrible judgment terrible for us but this is what

Chris brings up is great here because the career of james wednesday like these this can't be said loudly enough the box were seven and nine when he led the league in interceptions they changed their quarterback to tom Brady who won the championship and the great thing about all of the strategy. Look, Mike Ryan's arguing I'm gonna have a complimentary football. I like the strategy. Do you guys know how rare it is to be able to watch a quarterback play? And it's not the Zach Wilson category. It's not the Patrick Mahomes category. It's a category all its own. Every Sunday, I tune in and James can be there and the reason I'm

gonna watch is because he's never gonna learn. He's gonna keep doing it like Brady won with your team of championship and he's like, no, I'm gonna keep throwing and I'm never gonna learn not to make that throw and I'm gonna do it with a smile on my face for me. It's the eating

dubs. Well, he ate his fingers and said who wants to eat some dubs. That's it. James just take away from the year that he ate his fingers and said, who wants to eat some dubs, that's it. James just take away from the year that he led the NFL and the interception was. I also let him pass in yards. That's right. That is absolutely right.

And he takes it out there with him all the time. God bless him for it. Yeah, absolutely. And also he will never learn. Living in a world of trending topics and keeping up with sports and culture that you actually care about can feel like a full time job.

Dating back to last year where I eventually went to the college station and I got to experience their atmosphere firsthand and it was kind of on the heels of their weird midnight yell. Dan can attest to this. I've been obsessed with Texas A&M football for the last few years. I bet them every game. I think the world of the talent on that team. And I think their season fell apart this year in large part due to losing Connor Wegman, but it finally happened yesterday.

The much rumored, much discussed, Jimbo Fisher, a hypothetical firing, stopping a hypothetical, and the impossible has happened. Whenever anyone talked about Jimbo Fisher, they talked about, well, it's a buyout. You can't get away from that buyout. You're just going to have to suffer through this. It's insane. It's a totally, it's four times as much as the previous largest buyout. It's a crazy amount of money. Mike, I have a great stat here. Jimbo Fisher will get paid more to knock coach than James Winston has been paid to play in the NFL.

That's amazing. That's unbelievable. And Jimbo Fisher went out and put up a 50 burger. Coincidentally, the team that was on the receiving end of that 50 burger also fired their coach this morning because I guess if Jimbo's getting fired after that performance, we got a fire our coach too. Are they firing him because white week men is coming back and because he can win a couple of games and they don't want the pressure before recruiting of winning a couple of games because the starting quarter back. The one quarterback he's had there who got hurt is the one who's coming back now. I think they're, they're, they're,

they fired Jimbo Fisher because of the last few seasons because he had all the resources in the world, great talent. If you look at their composite ratings, the greatest recruiting class I think ever on the heels of a 2020 season, if you look back way back in the way back machine, 2020, people thought Mike Norvel was a horrible hire and they thought Texas A&M was coming

for everybody's stuff. They just won an orange ball. Look how much the world has changed since then. But I wonder if Jimbo got a little nervous as the results got worse. And even though he was having a good game, change the quarterback, the off, their offense looks good at halftime this happens we're going to throw up a still image right now of a donation that the text is a m athletic department received and i don't this is not a number that you sneeze

that one hundred and sixty million dollars a hundred and sixty six hundred and sixty million dollars that is crazy $1,160,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tactical expertise that Jimbo left us with. This is before he got fired. Still got to have you seen this? Yes. Before, you know, I told you, I mentioned that he changed a quarterback. Max Johnson's terrible. Just not his fault. Just has his limitations.

His big failure is that he's not as good as a previous guy. That's what Max Johnson's big, also, also, also he sucks. But like he hasn't done that much wrong. So they're trying to catch Mrs. to be saved by surprise and they put out a phony Max Johnson to warm up because there's all sorts of mysteries to who's starting at quarterback for Texas A&M. Complete with a hat, the jersey number on this training

and he's throwing lefty, they put out a fake Max Johnson, a chef's kiss of tactical strategy from Jim Hofisher. You don't fire that guy after that. You're wait till he drops another disappointing game, which will inevitably happen to Jim Hofisher. That right there, and I don't throw around this world. He's starting to get it word lightly genius. If anything, that's an encouraging sign. Maybe patience.

It's just a left handed person that they put on the field. So who is this guy? I'm missing the point here. So he sends out a fake quarterback to warm up for what reasons got the Uncle Rico throwing motion? How is he fooling anybody? It's because he's left handed and because Max Johnson is left handed

and they just wanted to confi- they didn't know, they wanted no one to know who to prepare for. Either they're terrible back up quarterback that usually starts or the one who they put in who was then a good deal better than Max Johnson. So the resources over at Texas A&M have been a big time talking point for several years now and Johnny football is right to say I totally transformed that town. He did. College stations for the town that it is unrecognizable from all of us.

That check is crazy for that uh... right at you please for the book the boosters at that school are enormous and the oil money at that school is crazy have you found out that uh... through the the reports out there who they're internally dream candidate is is it urban my or strenuously i think it should be urban my or you and can't no no one can believe it. Well, he's not leaving.

I mean, why would he leave the life? That's such a good one. I think he went to Texas A&M. 10 years, I give you 10 years, you've rehabbed the entirety of your life. He's looking at that as like, if I fail, I can go back to the pro game. It's kind of like a bizarro college thing

where the college coaches go to the pros and are like, I can be a disaster. But I'm Bobby Patrino, you'll welcome me back with open arms and the college ranks. Maybe it's a Bizarro thing with Dame Campbell, but he is the leading dream candidate right now. Well, no, I think he looks at it as if I fail, I never have to work again. Yeah. Ever.

I don't need to be rehabbed. I don't need to go to the NFL. I will be paid $76 million to go vacation forever. Me and Billy came up with what Jimbo should do next. I need to go to the NFL. I will be paid $76 million to go vacation forever. Me and Billy came up with what Jimbo should do next. Like his next move is very simple. Me and Billy agree on this. Go down the big chill, talk to Jimmy,

give him his real estate agent, go out and buy a house over in the keys, right on the water, get a nice little boat. Rai-la-hade, don't worry about it. Oh, be out there. He's freshly deforsed, 58 years old, he earned it. I mean, he didn't earn it, but he about it. Oh, be out there. He's freshly divorced, 58 years old. He earned it. I mean, he didn't earn it, but he earned it.

There is option B, which is not the first time that Nick Sabin would hire somebody that he beefed with. Why go down, Alabama? You're not going to Nick Sabin. Why? You stuck with Tommy Rees out there. The Nick Sabin rehabilitation program. You have $76 million.

You want to deal with Nick Sabin. Exactly right. You want to be the boss. You can do it again. do it again. Oh come on two years over there with Jalen Milro He'll get the next big job hell Texas A&M may hire him again. That's the way this goes when you go Alabama I thought the Alabama thing was done and they're back again and they're not as terrible as they As they looked at the beginning of the season when we pounced and were like, they don't have a quarterback. But can I say something about this?

This might be their best quarterback ever, Dan. I'm not joking. Please stop. He's a sophomore. If you look at Jalen Milrose numbers as compared to Jalen Hertz when he was a sophomore, I am telling you right now, he's been better. Okay.

I still got, I saw him play against Texas when they lost. He couldn't play. And of course he has improved since then. But I was making the analysis from earlier this season that when they came out of the gate losing at home by two touchdowns to a Texas team, that's just okay. Like just okay. It didn't look like they had quarterback play. But speaking of that, please, dear God, I beg of you, get that Michigan Penn State game out of my life forever. Get those schools that fat not upon Northwestern and I won Illinois and Indiana and then at the end of the season are there to tell me there is good as everybody else. And what do they do?

Twenty straight runs from Michigan. Penn State on first down 13 straight downs of run the football. Don't trust our quarterbacks at all. Neither one of them are gonna throw for a hundred yards. Michigan is gonna muscle you to death and they're just gonna run the ball for the remainder of the game.

Get that. Game, put it on. An aircraft carrier. Thank you for your service. Send it out to sea. I don't ever need to see it again. Please dear God. You can't take James Franklin with you. All of you out of here. Just the big 10. Just all of you get out of here. Yeah, you with Desmond Howard on television telling me 10 years ago that Jim Tressel deserves to be banned from the game

and he's happy when cheaters are gone, but when you put a clown in disguise on the central Michigan sidelines, that's cheating we can defend and tolerate. May the Michigan coach cry. Look at this emotional, this was a galvanizing moment for the state of Michigan. To win on the road in this environment, when there were doubts,

sure what does it mean to you? Well, I think the Lord for that coach Marble. I love you man. I love it. Shit I do man. It is for you. For this university, the president, our AD, we got the best players, best university, best alumni in the country. Love you guys.

These guys are here. These guys are here man. These guys are here man. Talk to him man. Thank you coach. It's not that serious. Talk to these guys. Talk to him.

Harval's still with us by the way. Just kidding. He didn't die. He's just been did. He's going to produce the greatest season in Michigan history and he's going to coach four of the games. I love the shoot out of these guys. I love the shoot out of them. It's like a drunk dude at a bar at a bachelor party.

I legitimately did not know how they could get a court injunction on Saturday to try and get Jim Harbott a play in that game. But the entire game was a restraining order. No, all you want to send it off to see him too. How about how about J.J. McCarthy with the rallying cry of bet before the game. J.J. McCarthy, Heisman, trophy candidate, seven of eight 60 yards. be candidate. Seven of eight six yards. Mike, they didn't pass on the second half. Back. I read and I thought, I'm going to give those stats again. Penn stayed on first down, started the game.

I tuned it out at this point. 13 straight first downs, handoff to yards. Yeah. And Michigan came back when, no, you think that's good? No, we want to watch this. Watch this. You think you can run. You think you can do that no what watch us where every time we go to five wide you know it's just a quarterback draw right we're not gonna hell out of this formation thirty two I think I'm just trying to spread you out

I think at the end of the game they ran them all thirty two straight times and the strategies just what's to got said all we're trying to do is spread you out so our quarterback can do a quarterback draw. I imagine the last time there was a top 12 matchup of two teams where both quarterbacks through under 71 yards was probably a time where one team traveled by steam engine. Infuriating you like to call it I like complimentary football. That's good stuff right there. That's what you're arguing on behalf of my share.

Yeah. The college game we're teaching him. Take the time. Hey, put your put the tip of your finger on your tongue. Right. Take the temperature of the wind. Yep. Find out, feel the game out and know exactly what type of

style of football you want to play. I'd hand it to Blake Cora and hand it to Blake Cora. Did you see his face after? All bloodied? Yes. He looked fine there. After more folding. He looked like the Big Ten.

Yeah. We've propagandist Adam Shafter is circulating all positive Michigan news. I'm very happy for them. This was a great day for Michigan. Charles Woodson goes on television and says the whole thing is bullshit. And I just want to ask you if

you can support that kind of cheating you'll support any kind of cheating right any kind it's it hasn't hasn't been hard have they been persecuted for years and years is the first time that they're having to deal with this also I trusted James Franklin it fooled me thought he was do what's not he was due the de theory so many distractions the coach getting pulled aside on a tarmac saying you're suspended we're trying to get you're trying to get a restraining order so you can play head all the makings and honest to god though do you understand that I felt four three hours like I was watching the manifestation of a court injunction like I'm just I'm watching the courtroom and it's just like I was watching the manifestation of a court injunction. Like, I'm just, I'm watching the courtroom, and it's just-

Like I object. I object to all of it. Send it out to see.
