Can’t put in Sixth and Peabody so I pull up in the Uber and I’m like oh wow this place is gorgeous yeah you called and said where do I enter yeah there there’s like eight eight nine doors there’s a backyard there’s I mean this place is incredible yha beer Old Smoky Moonshine
You can find it right here uh in uh Kelly’s here through the week Kelly from Nashville Vegas is what we’ll say uh this week um uh hope the holiday weekend was great in Florida uh rained so that’s my complaint rained here too when everywhere when it’s not the sunshine
State I have complaints about Florida otherwise no complaints okay uh a lot of complaining about the NFL right now uh we I am trying to be a I am a truth Seeker right now across the NFL I want to know who’s legit and who’s not and
Throughout the week maybe we can try to decipher this but Kansas City and I know you’re right on board with this Kelly Kansas City is not legit right now I think Kansas City is inherently broken right now and I know a lot of chiefs fans I grew up in Kansas and right now
They’re in a little bit of a what I call a denial period yeah and understandably so when the bar is set over the last what is it four years five years now to win Super Bowls or not right or to at least make it deep into the playoffs I
Mean Mahomes has never played a road game in the postseason that is just absolutely wild to consider you’re you’re so right cuz we’re going to get into the Cowboys later on and they can’t seem to win a game on the road but you’re you’re right we don’t
Know if the Chiefs can win game on the road I don’t know if they can win at home I don’t think they’re built to win at home here’s the problem a couple of years ago we complained about the chief’s defense but Patrick was able to outscore his opponents he made
Incredible plays he had receiving cores that were well guys like Tyreek Hill right uh you know when you lose key players like that it seemed like last year they didn’t miss a beat now all of a sudden this year we even had Travis Kelce really start to throwing his
Helmet and there’s frustration maybe maybe we got to talk about him retiring because he sure mentioned that his body is not feeling the greatest and uh this is what grank did too grank threatened to retire because he was going to get bet traded to Detroit that was that Saga
Then he turned around and stayed in New England um and then after that he stepped away then he joins Brady again in Tampa um many think he’s going to come back he’s done now I believe that now but Kelsey’s got the podcast going he’s got Taylor Swift going and 85,000
Different commercials I mean between he Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes I you kind of have to wonder how much Focus they have I think the focus is there I just think the trust isn’t there so taking a look at their wide receiving core they’re throwing that fourth down pass
Yesterday to Tony kadary Stone who’s been awful awful drop passes uh Galore Mahomes has a career-high 14 picks right now um and some of that’s on him he’s throwing some bad passes yesterday absolutely but you but the receivers aren’t helping them correct and there’s a couple I think uh was it against the
Patriots one was his fault and one was definitely the receiver’s fault yeah but and that was the one game they actually won they they lost they’ve lost what four of six three of their last four and that’s I think it’s inevitable we’re going to see Kansas City on the road uh
Especially after Baltimore’s win yesterday and we are going to see the Chiefs that can’t they’re not reliable running the football momes has been a magician at times trying to bail them out and normally does like yesterday I kept waiting on that moment where they’re going to climb back in it’s 20 to7 uh
They elect to go for it with like 9 minutes left in the fourth whatever it was they don’t get it on Fourth and goal there they get the ball back they do get the touchdown and I’m thinking okay this is where they go beat the Raiders no I
Mean they they they don’t have those Alphas now it’s momes and Kelce and that’s it um banged up now on the offensive line receivers that they just can’t trust I mean Justin Watson isn’t someone I want to see Catching touchdowns you know and and I think I
Also think Kelly the the covid cap year really affected them because a lot of general managers and cap analyst they anticipate the cap always rising and and the NFL it does the revenue is always up um the TV deals the new TV deals are are
About to kick in uh that affects the cap players get 49.5% of that Co year the cap went down Revenue was down yeah and a lot of teams many teams had to cut players or not resign certain players because the cap went down and they didn’t a lot for that whenever they were
Given extensions two or three years prior I think that affected what they did at wide receiver and I think they overvalued certain players because Mahomes and Kelsey have been so good that’s kind of the issue that we’ve seen with several NFL teams when you pay your quarterback that amount of money we
Started to see it this year I thought with the Bengals with Joe burrow obviously with him being hurt and so forth but there’s a reason why Brock py doesn’t make a million dollars a year and that’s because San Francisco can’t afford to pay him any more money they
Can’t they if they wanted to they couldn’t pay him correct because he can’t get the extension until after next year based on the rookie deal Mahomes is about to get a another raise he’ll be the new highest paid in he should be the highest paid quarterback based on his
Track record um he’ll be above burrow on average per season point being though I I think the the receiver the receiving core on who they’ve lost and it’s not just Tyreek Hill um it’s just the average to just above average players that are either playing in New England or now they’re
Playing out west like they’ve lost some talented players that were were a part of their nucleus a part of their core role players that now you just key in on Kelce and that’s what Vegas did yesterday they lit him up yeah it was I mean double you double team Travis Kelce
And you’ve basically taken out what momes has as his backup plan at any point in time he knew he could go to Kelce the reason why I use Tyreek hell as an example is because I do think he’s probably one of the more valuable players on any team and we didn’t know
That until he went to Miami and now we see what a plug-and-play guy he really is and the Chiefs don’t have that but even without him that first year they won the Super Bowl they did and that’s what I meant so at first it was like but
They still lost some players you know like it it’s tough again they’ve got to go out and they definitely need to draft somebody and they probably need to draft a couple o linemen because Patrick is like you said a magician he’s able to scramble he makes plays out of thin air
But he only has so much ability he needs more time right I mean you’re teams are beating Kansas City by scoring 20 points now that’s crazy crazy going into like week 12 or or week 13 the Bears had scored more points than Kansas City in total that’s also just nuts considering
What Chicago’s done this year so they’ve got issues I don’t think this is a team built to win on the road even though they can play play defense they can’t score and they they turn the football over at a high rate I I just don’t see
Them doing very much in the postseason I see some turnover and some uh adjustments being made they also lost benmy although I still think it’s more Andy Reid um I I don’t believe that they’re going to fix the issues they did last year they start slow and then they
They they’ve been able to to put it together that’s not Kansas City this year Philly though I do believe in and I know you don’t buy this the Philadelphia Eagles win they put up 400 plus total yards they score 33 points I understand it’s against the Giants I understand
That the win uh breaking that three-game slide there is a bit of a hollow feeling to it based on the fact that they turned the football over twice they allow 15 points off those turnovers but unlike Kansas City I like the fact that Philadelphia can run for 88 yards on 15
Carries in the fourth quarter they can put up two touchdowns in the fourth quarter Jaylen Herz is one of the best leaders in the league I love his mentality his his the way he he handles himself win or or lose post game and throughout the week uh with the
Accolades that they’re throwing his way and unlike Mahomes they have Devonte Smith and AJ Brown who I think will come I mean they will come through I I think that they’ll fix things even though there is this weird dynamic where they change defensive coordinators in week 15 Matt Patricia is now calling plays
There’s something off but I believe believe that Philly fixes it unlike my doubts about KC I’m not sure Philly can fix it they actually remind me very much though of last year’s Minnesota Vikings if you remember Minnesota was 11-0 in ones score games and everybody said they
Were the biggest frauds on the planet here we are one year later obviously sans’s Kirk Cousins a little unfair there but it is rather interesting to see what last year’s Super Bowl losers have really been able to not do defensively I mean their secondary is getting lit up depending on who they’re
End up going to end up facing in the playoffs I think is going to be either a benefit or a detriment to them and there’s no in between because if you can exploit that secondary it’s going to be a long day and I agree with you I like
Jaylen Herz I do think he’s a good leader he does have some really great weapons around him he has one of the best offensive lines in the NFL those guys are I mean they do anything for him they are ready for him in the trenches
So that is the side but from a metrics perspective from a gambling perspective I have been waiting for the bottom to fall out and it has really started to over the last few weeks including yesterday I actually got to watch a lot more of that Eagles Giants game luckily
For me I was in the kitchen most of uh the Chiefs game so I didn’t have to watch that one uh that was uh after it 20 to7 I was like I I I’ve got better things to do but so but but with Philly don’t you like with the way the way that
Team is built and the fact I think that right now they own about 90% of the tiebreakers with Dallas because of Dallas’s loss that Mak sense um they’re going to host playoff games correct Dallas is going to have to go on the road I like Philly at home and I like
The way that that that roster is built to actually back them unlike KC the two teams that met for Super Bowl uh in the Trophy last year so one of the things that we do from a gambling perspective is look at strength of schedule going into the season and then obviously those
Things start to change okay were dead wrong on these teams we were off a little bit here or we were correct on this the the whole farce of that the Eagles were supposed to play this really tough schedule never came to fruition the Giants never were as good as they
Were actually supposed to be obviously uh Danny dimes goes down then DeVito comes in and shocks a little people but the but the Giants still aren’t very good the Cowboys for a point in time were playing at that high enough level and you’re right though they cannot win
Games on the road so I I have this sinking feeling with Philadelphia that they’re going to disappoint a lot of their fans and very very early on in the playoffs so if you doubt Philly there’s no way you’re buying into many teams right now like San Francisco um they’re going on the road
This week to Washington after losing to Baltimore um you know Dallas and and Philly and the way they’re playing they’ve helped San Francisco still stay in that number one spot but they haven’t solidified home field um meanwhile Detroit has been on a slide but they’ve been putting it back back together
They’ve won the division they’re back in the mix and they’re playing well I I mean I right now with the with the offensive play across the league I’ll take the offenses we’re discussing Kansas City can’t put up 20 but on a bad game where you’re still not feeling great about Philly they’re
Putting up 33 points and 450 total yards I’ll take that based on the fact that well you have to win in the postseason different ways and I think Philadelphia can do that we’re going to see I mean look they they they play the Cardinals this week then
They play the Giants again which that’s such a funny scheduling spot there’s a few teams that play those backto backs we saw with and it’s really tough to beat a team twice right so to go into the metal lands to somehow lose that game would be very very bad for the
Eagles they’re going to be double digit favorites just like they were yesterday and they should be but they should be but by that point who knows if Herz is even playing again like well very true if they’ve already locked it up there’s no reason to but I do think that they
Will be in a dog fight again week eight if there is a need there for everyone to play I you ask who I trust the the NFL is like the WWE but that argument is for another day I don’t know if I trust any of these teams I don’t know if that
Means great things or bad things for the PO for the post season like uh a lot of backup quarterbacks are playing there’s a lot of quarterbacks that are starters in week one who suck you know like there’s only two-thirds of the quarterbacks you would actually want to
Start immediately um and and then the others are in quarterback battles and they’re the the starter by default with a young guy behind them those guys get hurt guys come in Joe flco who we’re going to touch on later is playing out of his mind but the Jets didn’t even
Want him so there’s we’re going to see defenses continue especially and the refs with the way the defenses are getting calls now and and the again like some of the most egregious things that I see are not called and the like the Ticky tack penalties at the quarterback
Well that can’t even bail out offenses right now it’s really bad across the league offensive playwise and I I trust that Philly with their type of players they’ll put it together now now look at it from this perspective Dallas meanwhile there they need to do some
Damage over the last two weeks they they need Philadelphia to continue to be in a spiral even though they win because they Dallas needs to be at home that’s a huge loss to Miami by the Cowboys because it sets up Philly to host and win that division meanwhile
Dallas would have to be on the road that’s that’s a detriment to the the Cowboys who can’t put it together that was a really frustrating um defensive fourth quarter if you had any money on the Cowboys whatsoever if you’re a Cowboys fan if if you have a future on
The Cowboys it’s we spoke about all the year long how great this Dallas defense was and how things are different and it’s still much more of the same and it’s not it’s not something that I can really describe they are great at home Prescott is you know they’re not turning the
Football over they’re dominating and they don’t have any home field advantage so please explain to me how they’re any better at home you’re right I mean there is a I think the HomeField is a myth in the NFL absolutely college is different there’s a couple of places I might say
Get a little Rowdy Kansas City uh Seattle Detroit Ford Field this year has abs been electric but only when they really needed to be like you’re right college football there is a definite HomeField Advantage it is it is different but Dallas you ever been in a game in Dallas yes I’ve seen Jason
Garrett ice his own kicker twice in overtime and the place was just dead silent yeah but I mean it it’s a lot like uh from a a home field there there’s a comfort level though that that team has that they don’t have on the road that’s fair and but Miami wasn’t
Beating good teams no they did in this case they beat a playoff worthy and a very good and capable team that can win in the postseason if they’re hosting Miami got the win over Dallas that’s a big win for them too which we can hit on coming up because they’re now two games
Ahead of Buffalo although Miami takes on Baltimore this week with that loss week 18 would be for the division which is crazy as long as Buffalo handles New England more NFL takeaway Straight Ahead hot M continues next uh now she is coming out in saying that playing for the United States is the
Quote worst job in the world and she’s saying this because of the criticism she garnered which obviously she brought on herself by doing all of the horrible things that she did over the course of her career uh one being uh that she felt super compelled to kneel for the
National anthem and not show her Pride for the United States States uh despite having the platform and representing the country in a way that very few people on Earth get the ability to do uh listen she’s a leftist we all know this uh she is fully on board with biological Men
Playing in women’s sports uh that’s another thing that she was getting criticism for which again she should because as a woman she should realize that if she did allow biological men to play in soccer let’s just say uh her success probably wouldn’t have been even close to what it ended up being uh
Because as we know I’m going to say it time and time again men they’re bigger they’re stronger they’re faster women as great of athletes as they can possibly be they just do not add up to what men are capable of uh but obviously as a Democrat uh as an elite leftist Megan
Rapino feels the need to play the victim card as they all do uh I just can’t get behind this playing for the United States is the worst job in the world so let’s just lay this out Megan rapino is a professional athlete probably the coolest job in the
World you get paid to live out your passion literally the thing that you started doing when you were a child the thing that you would go out to recess to do right you are now getting to do throughout your life and now getting paid a ton of money to do it okay that
Doesn’t sound like work to me that sounds like you just get to get paid to fulfill your hobby uh you get to stay in shape you get to meet the coolest people in the world you get to travel all around the world you have access to the
Greatest resources that all of us could even dream of having access to uh yet you’re calling this the worst job in the world because you have to represent the United States which by the way is the most Toler tolerant country on Earth uh we have the most freedoms we have the
Most Liberties any immigrant that would come over to this country would be very thankful to be in the position that they’re now in of versus living uh where they fled so so you know vastly from it’s just none of this adds up to me but but for Megan rapino to say this does
Not really confuse me uh all she likes to do is whine and complain and I feel like she’s teaching a horrible lesson to young girls uh not that she already hasn’t been doing that by saying biological men belong in women’s sports uh but obviously to be in this position
Of power to have this influence and use it uh for for really nothing uh to not have the proper influence that you would want I I I just can’t get behind this um I hope this is the last time that I have to talk about Megan rapino
And maybe maybe now that she’s out of her soccer job maybe she should try to go fulfill another job maybe she should go work as a janitor somewhere where she has to clean up after everybody and that’s what she spends her days doing I mean thank goodness for the G out there
We wouldn’t be able to get by without them but I’m just Saying We are live from 6th NP body with y beer and Old Smoky Moonshine glad you’re with us hot Mike with hun and Withrow rolls on Hut and Kelly in Vegas Nash Vegas today the uh the flights today were fine for you but luggage I know was an issue luggage claim listen
Bagage claim uh I should have not checked a bag for only being here four days but it’s cold here in comparison to what I’m used to compared to what you’re used to doing some shows remote doing a few shows in studio like you got to have
Options and I am such a tomboy that I have now hired people to help me with these things so my stylist came over and packed and what she said you need to bring is what I brought and then I already trashed the entire suitcase getting ready in the bathroom but uh
It’s it’s just one of those things like I just need help okay we were we were laughing with our producer beforehand like I just need people to say this is what you need to do I’m just too big of a tomboy what do you want well congrats
On choosing uh you know what you’re wearing today without the stylist picking it out for you no I actually texted her and I said Hunton is wearing a light green is it okay if I wear the dark green turtl next oh I think that’d be wonderful what color what color are
We wearing tomorrow uh I don’t know I’ll text Chad and I we wear the same color a lot but we don’t text about well of course you don’t text about it I mean there was a day that I had on a bright yellow shirt with Clay like bright

And you’ll see it at outkick.com outkick.com watch your One-Stop shop for all things outkick outkick.com slatch how worried were you when the official trip Lamar Jackson for the safety as Baltimore uh gave up two points there and the 49ers at that point was was a 5-3
Game for a while I know you played this game I did and you took Baltimore you were worried the Ravens were my best you were heavy right heavy on this I and so this is what I will say so I always preach um About bankroll Management So
When you say heavy uh the most I’ll ever have probably on a game is three units so for example I had a unit on the chief so I had three units on the raaven so in comparison to the two games yes I had three times the on that was your
Confident your confidence it was my it was my best bet but let me tell you when I gave that on Wednesday and then everything else came around and oh then the line got to six and a half and my confidence really started to wne because
I had the Vikings on Sunday and you know when you bet on a quarterback that throws four interceptions so by Monday night I was not feeling the greatest about uh my my Ravens bed I’ll say that much Brock pie uh helps out you know you
Had the the flip side of this with the picks take for your your bet earlier last night we watched pie throw plenty of them late in the fourth he goes to the sidelines and we see uh darnold come in I think that was more of a white flag
Waving than an injury concern based on news this morning that he should be fine he’s he absolutely knows he has to play better than what he did but last night was viewed by many as kind of an MVP Showdown Lamar versus Brock did Brock py
Kelly in your mind drop out of the MVP hunt based on the head-to-head matchup with Baltimore goes on the road and wins against San Francisco and they claim the best team quote unquote in the NFL title going into the final two weeks of the regular
Season did he drop out no but did he drop like a rock yeah he did I mean he was a sizable favorite we even saw a ticket that was purchased uh at 2001 odds so to think of him as the odds on favorite going from 2001 to minus 125
Was miraculous in itself right and a lot of people that are in our industry were saying that he didn’t deserve it that he’s got all these weapons around and and yeah he’s not even the MVP on his own team but was he a good game manager
Yes was he able to uh have some moments where I thought okay this is not the Brock py I watched at Iowa State he is improving his game he’s making smart decisions I was very happy with his result last night obviously being on the other side but do I think we should
Punish him that severely for a onegame sample size I don’t Lamar Jackson now the favorite he is now the favorite Chris mcaffry still hanging out in second Lamar is one of those guys where last year if you remember we were just talking about big contracts in the last segment even Baltimore was saying
Maybe they didn’t want to pay Lamar right so I’ve got some good friends that are within the organization and they said well Lamar doesn’t want to eat healthy Lamar doesn’t want to do some of these other things Lamar doesn’t want to spend the time he gets hurt all the time
That that that he needs to spend and so then they kind of shopped him around I think it was the the Panthers didn’t really want him the Falcons didn’t really want him and then ultimately he ended up getting a big contract usually when you have these guys sign these big
Contracts what happens they start to fall off they seem to get hurt I’ve been waiting all year I have the Ravens at 20 to1 to win the Super Bowl I’m just waiting to see what happens I am on high alert mlan who joins us later uh in less
Than an hour he he picked Baltimore to win the Super Bowl he’s got them there too yeah they’re the only ones I bet I I usually don’t bet a lot of Futures bets this was one that I thought the odds were severely off it went from 20 to1 to
About 12 to1 before the season started so I knew I had a good number in pocket but again I have yet to see a year where I’ve been fully impressed with Lamar they have had a couple of ugly losses this year uh most namely the Colts in
Baltimore in overtime and you know that fourth quarter has kind of seemed to come back to bite them not yesterday that was a the easiest no sweat winner as an outright Underdog I probably had in a month so Baltimore I think Lamar Jackson will win it because
I the schedule is going to be in his favor the schedule was lined up for Jaylen Herz honestly because he had back-to-back games against San Francisco and Dallas and they went through a stretch where they were playing really good teams Philly did um they played Dallas and San Francisco coming those
Teams coming off of 10day rest periods meanwhile short weeks for for Philly but nonetheless um you play against the opponent that’s going to be on the national stage you’re going to get the momentum this week Baltimore is going to Miami M Miami’s going to Baltimore so Miami’s visting Baltimore that’s I mean
That’s a stage for Lamar Jackson that’s perfect for him not just to he’s claimed the head-to-head match up against py now he gets to do it against Tua and a Miami team that’s coming off of a win against Dallas and you know Dak Prescott three weeks ago was the odds on favorite to
Win MVP now it’s Lamar Jackson and I I mean they are really hitting their stride at the right time I they I just feel like they have been that Team all season long they’ve been favored in almost every single spot with the exception of last night and then one
Other they’re a four-point favorite this week at home I’ll tell you this we spoke about how there really wasn’t a lot of HomeField Advantage Baltimore been to I went to a game there last year there are they can get pretty Rowdy there in the cold and I haven’t checked the weather
Report yet obviously it’s unseasonably warm and the East Coast or the North Northeast Coast right now but if it happens to get cold we know how Miami does uh when they have to travel North 50 degrees for a high okay no rain beautiful football weather in other
Words yeah it’s set up it’s set up for Miami really yeah the elements will be in their favor but I Miami winning against Dallas changes my perception a bit about the playing well against good opponents and not beating up on you know their own division or uh playing teams
Less than 500 their schedule’s their schedule I like kind of the I mean Tua is kind of pissed off for greatness you know like he’s got a chip on his shoulder I think Lamar does too yes um and it is a two two coaches that I I
Mean I don’t hear John Harbaugh’s name mentioned ever uh Mike McDaniel’s name isn’t mentioned whenever you talk about the best coaches it’s Andy Reid uh sani’s mentioned with in Philly there a few others but if you’re mentioning those guys names it’s about fifth sixth seventh down the
Line I I like what they’ve done that the the team trusts them they clearly are just more a part of the locker room than just the the boss quote unquote and Harbaugh has been there forever and they’ve given Lamar The reigns it hasn’t been a great offense but they’re hitting
Their stride perfectly and he’s protecting the football for the most part yeah this could be a preview of the AC AFC Championship Game absolutely it could be depending on you know again both of these guys staying healthy is not something we’ve seen in the past so
If they both stay healthy I think this could be a really fun playoffs for both of them I want to see what happens to Miami’s Super Bowl odds if they pull off back-to-back wins against Dallas and Baltimore because again the hit on them has been well Pro it against the team
That’s actually going to be in the postseason they would be doing that with one week to play in the regular season that would be like if their odds are lower than expected right now maybe you8 to1 they’re currently 8 to1 Eagles are also 8 to1 Chiefs are 9 to1 bills also
Eight to one so it kind of really is about a sixh horse race there I mean right now the Ravens moved into the odds on favorites they’re plus 350 and the ners took a step back here oh I lied Niners still the odds on favorite plus
225 I I I buy that the three- game Slide by San Francisco earlier this year everyone’s hopping off the py bandwagon this four interception performance everyone’s going to hop off again no one was talking anything about perie in between that three- game slide and last night it was all P’s the odds on
Favorite for MVP there there was no negative discussion even though everyone saying no he’s not Elite well he’s not Elite he’s not the the the best quarterback in the NFL is he the most valuable player I don’t think he’s the most valuable player but he’s on a team
They we’ve seen it in the the quarterback of the most dominant team isting just it’s just who always gets it Aaron Rogers wins MVP what back-to-back years right and his team barely made it past week one of the playoffs I mean those things don’t really matter but
With Lamar I do think his value to that team is unparallel absolutely that’s just true most valuable and to be able to show How likely stepped in in absence of Mark Andrews I mean this team is you lose of your best players um or like you know one of your best receivers even
Though he’s a tight end it’s it’s a hard thing to do and obviously there’s a rapport there with multiple guys well they lost they’ve lost JK Dobbins and then um their their top running back a week and a half ago they lost for the season but it’s still it’s still the
Show the Lamar Jackson here’s what I think is going to hurt the 49ers and you nailed it earlier this week they are double- digit favorites on the road to the commanders okay and I’ll be it I thought the commanders were dead in the water yesterday I my buddy how did they pull that
Off or two days ago that’s how so that’s how mesmerized I was by it I forgot it was two days ago I looked down it was they were down 23 to three I think you know because you got the Red Zone on youve got your games you actually care
About I did not care about that game for one second I I did not talk about it on one show last week because that’s how uneventful it was going to be I bet if I went back and watched that’s probably one of the greatest comebacks I would have ever seen and just completely
Discredited that team and thought they quit and then the 49ers play the Rams and the Rams are kind of sneaky Matthew Stafford we’ll get to him uh maybe here a little bit later on as well I do think that is a detriment unfortunately for the 49ers is that they do play the
Commanders this week and the Dolphins and the ra the Ravens play each other and then next week obviously the Ravens play the Steelers uh which will be fun with Mason Rudolph Seattle gets their second game-winning Drive that’s the the back-to-back weeks of game when you drive two different quarterbacks Drew
Lock did it against Philly and this past Sunday Gino Smith does it against the Titans they’re now eight and seven they play a schedule coming up I believe Arizona and there’s one other bad team that’s on this list uh they have the opportunity to finish with 10 wins do
You view them as a team that’s getting hot at the right time going into the postseason they’re going to be playing on the road I’m not buy them they they are stuck in the mud in many cases their defense is well you want to talk about a
Secondary you can throw against yeah the the legion of boom is no longer no it’s not there but I also believe that Gino Smith isn’t that guy no I think he’s in line to be on a different roster uh next season they’ve got an out in his
Contract I know he signed the extension to begin uh this offseason this past offseason there’s an out after this year and I don’t think he’s the the wave of the future in Seattle I’m not saying Drew lock is either I don’t believe that but I don’t I don’t view Seattle as a
Team that’s going to go the long hard way through the road path to be this playoff you know Cinderella however how however they will get some hype if they reach the 10- win mark and they go on this four game winning streak yeah four games uh five games now and and hypothetically five
Game winning streak and they’ll be the hot team going into the postseason they’re not that group even though in the clutch they have done this twice against the Titans and more importantly against Philadelphia more importantly the Titans covered their teaser for me because I would have not been a very
Happy girl uh I didn’t understand all the Seattle on the road love but they got bet up quickly and that was probably because Gino Smith was announced that he was going to play I threw a fit on uh we now call it X last Monday night because
I had uh I had Seattle plus three and a half at home and then there’s Gino out there warming up okay I got great info boom Drew Lock And as a as a former Broncos fan and I say former uh because I haven’t really cheered for them since pton Manning left because they’re
Because they weren’t good yeah they’re still not good and that’s a whole another issue within itself uh but my problem is here is I don’t think it’s Gino I don’t think it’s Drew lock but I do think Pete Carroll deserves to be on that list we talked about about how
Certain coaches don’t get enough crit okay let’s discuss coach of the year coming up and we’ll we’ll start with Cleveland stefansky and Joe flacko comeback Player of the Year a guy who wasn’t on a team until week 13 we’ll tell you those odds and we’ll tell you
The odds on favorite which I mean it should be flacko or Baker and not the safety that’s next I feel like it depends on certain things but I feel like now it’s like a teammate like that should be your partner your teammate like I’m not cleaning all the house all the time cuz I’m not your mom I agree we’re dink double income no kids
So I really like a partnership but I don’t want to take the trash out yeah so he’s going to have to do that she takes the kids I provide very traditional do you think that more young people to do that yes very much so what is it about
Like a motherly quality that you like worked for thousands of years and it still works today I like being girly I’m a girl and I like being girly so I like traditional J girls okay well according to the seven hermetic principles one of those being the law of gender what it
Say gender manifest on all levels mental physical spiritual emotional all level throughout the cosmos there’s gender I don’t know it’s a lie it’s a book I read called the Supreme way of of of men or women or something like that and it spoke on how whether it’s
Two women or two men there still has to be someone who’s masculine someone who’s feminine what would you spend on an engagement ring I’m not I’m not an engagement ring type of person I’m like but if she wanted a ring I probably spend like 20 on it 20
What 20,000 that’s a lot of money get a real no for real ain’t it how much you make though price I didn’t really care size absolutely um had to to be big enough it could be seen and I didn’t want like a basic ring I wanted like
Eclectic like vintage looking so we did a custom order to do my ring I didn’t have a preference I just had a gold preference and he kind of took it from there and you trusted him did he crush it oh yeah he crushed it been spoiled
Thus far and so I don’t think I could ever go back from what I received last time okay so high standards that’s good what are the standards okay it was it was five carrots okay and it was um beautiful mine was way too expensive what’s way too expensive like
$45,000 you probably went with a real diamond very much so yeah do you think that that’s kind of a flex for the guy like is the engagement ring yeah is the guy is the engagement ring only for the girl or do you get to watch other people
Look at your girl’s ring solely for the girl solely for the girl you don’t get any enjoyment couldn’t care less red flags and dating cuz obviously you found each other did you have any x that you overlooked or is he perfect no he’s perfect we had a nice night out at the
Bar fought over a toy shark and that’s how it all got started what don’t you like red flags uh chea lion stuff like that yeah yeah what are you looking for in a woman honesty respect uh in love for herself some green flags are uh loyal Y and
Trustworthy um red flags are seeking attention from other women uh jealousy probably biggest thing especially being around other girls all the time and having other girlfriends that would be the number one thing is jealousy red flag is they’re on their phone too much um green flag is they’re on their
Phone a lot with you well well look for loyalty uh that’s it I’m 24 so it’s hard to come across that like when you’re young so that’s really all I look for really honestly what were deal breakers uh if she was broke I know that sound crazy
But for real if she was broke cuz like it’s like yeah like I don’t like I don’t want to take care of a mother like I want to Equal the new and improved outkick store is up and running you can head over to outkick.com it’s shop. outkick.com golf poos t tats and more plenty of merch it’s in the store shop. outkick.com Kelly I think I need that hat yeah oh um I’m sure they can get that for you okay
Order whatever you want just text clay clay can you put it in order for me yeah I mean clay at one point was having like shirts made every week like yeah but now he’s got good quality those so much merch those aren’t just regular golfs those are Travis Matthew golf legit yeah
I mean we’ve and the only reason why I care is because they now have a women’s line I found that out the other day when I went Christmas shopping yeah very excited so you’ll have some dude’s name on your shirt or whatever hypothetically you’ll have Travis mat I you’ll have a
TM but I was I’ve been wearing their hats forever so it’s no different yeah well so Chad and I discuss this every now and then like we’re against the whole Jersey thing like putting some guys name on the back of you know I know
A lot of men that are um I also don’t necessarily like having just the full name of whatever you know like like if you go back to my high school photos a lot of what I had was like Polo you weren’t the abber cromie oh no I had
Abber cromie I had uh Polo Ralph Lauren I had uh let’s see um who are the other ones Tommy Hilfiger oh my gosh yeah but now I’m just like please don’t give me anything with some person’s name on it yeah the TM logo is very I was looking
Cuz it is a logo but this is just Cricket like is a logo yeah but they don’t make anything without a logo on it anymore pretty much I would agree there’s some like guys shirts like it’s hard to find just a plain nice quality shirt versatile shirt you can find a
T-shirt you find a long sleeve tea or whatever a sweatshirt but nothing great a suit I guess if only I was into fashion design well same I I’m like you unlike you I don’t have a stylist like you I need one I guess fair enough I’ll give you your information uh plenty
Thank you plenty of uh reason to uh buy into Joe flacko incredible what they’re doing in Cleveland it’s the fourth starting quarterback for Kevin stefansky who is on his way to be coach of the year I think it’s him or Dan Campbell probably which we’ll hit on but comeback Player of the
Year this is an incredible story Baker Mayfield in Tampa is doing unbelievable in terms of expectation versus result and to a point where he may get a another contract a contract extension after a one-year deal and I mean he’s putting up numbers the Bucks are winning great so is Cleveland with
Joe flacko who’s sitting on the couch who the New York Jets didn’t even want to bring back and now they’re not just winning they’re going on the road and winning games against other playoff contenders most recently Houston this is a defensive Le team a very well- coached
Team by stefansky this year and now the veteran who has thrown for three three different times now over 300 yards passing it’s not like they’re turning around and handing the football off every play they’re throwing the football some cases 40 plus times and it’s Joe flacko who was quarterbacking the
Cleveland Browns not deshun Watson if you just looked at a stat sheet and said okay here’s Cleveland and here’s their quarterback play Flaco 11 years ago in the postseason he becomes the Super Bowl MVP 11 touchdown passes no interceptions goes on to win the MVP Kelly week 13 of this year 11 years
Later he’s now the starting quarterback he hasn’t there’s no way they’re giving it up after his recent play and I mean there’s an award with his name on it isn’t there I mean there should be that’s that’s the C the five seed currently we were talking about
This during the break is this a feel good Award right and I asked come back Player of the Year yep and I asked one of the guys over that’s far smarter than me on the left to use the good old Google machine I said Colin Ryan or
Tyler any of the three it was Colin I’ll give him some credit I said hey they all three are better and smarter than me did did Alex Smith win it the year after he broke his leg he said actually two years because it was right he was out for a
Year I said then that’s fine if we want it to be a field good type of award it can be but I’m just going to throw this out there Joe flacko 3 and one since he took over in Cleveland 137 yards 300 yard in the last three games I mean he was plus
Two what 25,000 he was plus 25,000 that was five weeks ago that’s crazy then he was 60 to one when they beat the Jaguars okay then 12 to one after beating the Bears now he’s plus four 50 he was 27 of 42 368 yards three touchdowns over the
Texans I had to look this up because I have not been really involved in very many Browns games this year yeah this is a team that I have not had a good read on and mainly because of the quarterback Carousel I am now kicking myself going what was I thinking and they weren’t
Winning early because of Watson and they weren’t here’s kind of the the question right so then you mentioned Baker Mayfield He’s currently sitting at 8 to one and what he’s been able to do doing Tampa I live just south of there I was kind of questioning Todd bus early in
The season being defensive minded this team is playing much better Matthew Stafford 15 to1 Tua who we’ve already spoken about several times on today’s show 15 to one that is the top five but Demar Hamlin still minus 425 he’s played he’s played two Series this year two he’s been he’s been
Activated for five games play two series that’s fine if this is a feel-good award we can make it feel good and we can give it to him but he’s not comeback player of the year the and I the way he’s the way his recovery uh and the timetable is
Incredible Absolut versus what we saw on Monday Night Football in the second to last week of last season um comeback player of the year though is whatever you want it to make it whatever you need it to be for your vote there is no criteria because Gino Smith won it last
Year and it wasn’t because he was coming off an injury he just goo Smith was great last year in Seattle correct uh the other example would be Michael Vic Michael Vick gets out of prison ends up in Philly yeah and we see what happened there he won comeback player of the year
That year uh however it is primarily comeback player of the year off of injury and so Joe burrow has won this award in 2021 Alex Smith who you mentioned Ryan tanah Hill uh was come back play of the year that was the year where he came in and uh for for
Mariota and off the trade from Miami and the rest is history there became the franchise quarterback for Tennessee Andrew Luck Keenan Allen Jordy Nelson Eric Barry there are many players that I’ve just listed coming off of injury it’s primarily the injury award followup but in many cases it’s not always just
The player off of injury it is though when there’s a feel-good story to it and that has been Demar Hamlin I haven’t really that the story itself though hasn’t been a massive storyline after he made his appearance earlier this year um in a actually returned to practice but then also appeared in the
Game but Kelly it’s it it makes sense but it doesn’t that it goes to Demar Hamlin based on how massive of a story it is but with the quarterback play what it is and what Cleveland’s been able to do on their fourth the question I would ask is does
The there’s a voting body do they split the vote and it becomes zansky coach of the year and Hamlin comeback Player of the Year and not flacko stansky currently 10 to one to win Coach of the Year Dan Campbell uh is the odds on favorite demo Ryan 3 to one uh Mike
McDaniel six to one is an interesting one I would have thought he had a little more you know push based on those odds I would say if stefansky ends up climbing the ladder on the odds it’s because of flacko I mean they lose they lose chub that yeah deshun Watson is in and
Out with the shoulder but again like not good um primarily just turning the football over very inconsistent not just uh play to play but game to game quarter to quarter half to half uh with his last game his second half was awesome but he ends up going out for the year with the
Shoulder I I lean towards it being flacko with the storyline of Cleveland because right now you’re watching what happened in Pittsburgh where picket it looks as though Mason Rudolph I believe is in line to be the starter yes um if Pickett’s not ready but based on what they’ve done without picket winning that
Game this past week against Cincinnati should they even consider I don’t think you rush pick it back out there at this point no no and then so but the drop off the decline there uh Cincinnati uh we we saw them hit a wall with Browning but meanwhile fourth quarterback in
Cleveland with that defense and what they’re doing Kelly I it’s a incredible story for a guy who’s what 39 years old and the New York Jets didn’t even want to bring in uh who they actually traded for two years ago it’s it has been really interesting because if you asked
Me what team Joe flacko played for like week three I would have lost that b these are not these are not things on the depth chart that I pay attention to you kind of look at one you look at two you figure out some drop off points and
You have to kind of keep going as the season progresses but I remember when my buddy who’s a big Browns fan put in the group chat something crazy like Joe Flack you know just going nuts and I’m going Joe flacko what are we doing here
Are we that far down you know in the injury list and he has definitely made me uh feel really bad because he has completely silenced myself and anybody else who had any doubts that he was still able to play last five comeback Player of the Year Awards have been
Quarterbacks that does help the odds let’s see luck tanah Hill and I don’t the last time it was a defensive player uh was 2000 Joe Johnson from the new it’s been that long uh the New Orleans Saints yeah the what we witnessed though on national television with dear hlin going
Down in uh in Cincinnati give it’s hard for me to say that he’s not comeback Player of the Year based on the he came back what 6 months later and he’s in pads and camp now he was on the he was a practice squad player last year too
Primarily that’s fair uh and he with the new rule where you could call two players up from practice squad they immediately go back he’s been in that role even prior to the seeing him play last year he was that guy last year just like he is this year and I would agree
So for me as somebody who doesn’t go down that far the depth chart right he’s not paying that close of attention I didn’t know that till you just he’s like a third safety makes sense but they were they got so that would that would also
Be why he hasn’t seen the field maybe as much this year right right but they I mean do I think that they gave him a roster spot early on because of his background yes like the whole story of it but he had he had been a part of the
Organization in the same role it’s not like because of the uh the heart attack that he was then just a practice squad guy right so we’ll see it’s incredible story but the the whole quarterback side and what Flo’s done and Baker too Baker Mayfield I I don’t trust Baker Mayfield
How can you I’m starting to you you know who Baker reminds me of okay so I compare Josh Allen to Brett faf before everybody on the talking head circuit did like maybe week five because you’re just Ginger yes what are you gonna get it’s almost like Baker
Mayfield how he’s been playing over like the last five or six weeks is almost almost like Brett favl it it’s not he’s not the same style of player but he is making those just absolute playy you when I catch the highlights of him I’m going that was
Baker he’s scrambling he is playing like a guy on a one-year contract he is a guy right now a man on a mission playing to get either resigned by the bucks or picked up by somebody else yeah if I’m Tampa’s winning just enough games to be
Picking in the middle of the first round you know like just like the rest of that division um yeah I’m bringing him back now but here’s the issue they did not extend Mike Evans right and we knew that was kind of coming and Mike’s not very happy
In Tampa and he but he could I mean what is he nine straight 10,00 yard seasons now is it more than that now I mean without Mike Evans what is Baker Mayfield that’s the other question I would have well and that’s kind of the
Caveat here is to say what is it is can Baker we’ve seen he cannot be just plug and play in any offense he’s not that guy right where I think a Patrick Mahomes is Right Where I think some of these other guys is a stop Gap Type move
You have you have guys that are that are Playmakers you have guys that are system guys you have guys that we’ve spoken about earlier that are game managers right I think Baker is kind of in that gray area where we’ve seen him do well in spots where he is allowed to kind of
Make the call if that makes sense he’s allowed to call the audible and here’s what he’s doing in Tampa he’s leading correct and he did not do that in Cleveland nope he wasn’t there long enough in Carolina it’s almost like they trust him in Tampa and I don’t know how
He got to earn that trust so quickly he’s he’s done he’s he must have done different things behind the scenes because in the Cleveland locker room they weren’t saying the same things postgame about what Baker’s doing now in Tampa coming up big money for Jim Harbaugh what you’re experiencing as the

Connection to Omaha where an ice storm hit yesterday in Nebraska I don’t miss this is an annual uh voyage for Chad and I would say three of every five years um there is a big snowstorm there is ice it’s never good snow just so you
Know I grew up in Kansas it’s never like a beautiful light dusting of snow like white Christmas it’s torrential torrential snow storm where you get 8ft snow drifts and nobody can drive anywhere or it’s like freezing rain the power lines are getting pulled down it’s what’s up with the timing of this every
Year though like this is this is the week where it is always just awful yeah school and there like there’s been so many Christmas is it’s like cool you could go sledding but nope there’s no snow yeah he will be snowed in sometimes he even is snowed in to the point where
He can’t get out long time it’s uh there’s always a story a a great story Maybe it’s a primary complaint that Kelly has but it’s uh for tomorrow with her traveling as well um Chad will beat you on the traveling stories though trust me uh Jim Harbaugh nfil Network
Reporting recently that it’s a it’s a 10-year contract $125 million extension that Michigan has on the table for Harbaugh who was suspended for six games this past season Michigan in the college football playoff uh coming up against Alabama this week here is the deal though with some parameters we it had
Been reported that they were going to have a contract back across the table to Harbaugh where they were going to tell him michig was going to say hey we want you we have backed you we’re going to battle for you screw the NCAA we want you here they’re going to try to drop
The hammer on all the investigations that are going on here’s a contract to prove that you’re our guy you’re a Michigan man you’re winning we love you 10 years 125 comes the report but he’s got to agree that he’s not going to flirt with the NFL well he’s been
Flirting with the NFL for years yes and I think ultimately he wants to get back there but there’s also he has a Super Bowl from San Francisco no they lost he lost Baltimore that’s right he lost to his brother yeah yeah the Lights Went Out in New Orleans in that game I that
Was one of my very very first Wagers ever by the way in did you wave uh I believe we had the Ravens I cannot quite recall it was like when I had first moved to Vegas you can’t recall your first bet to me that means you lost your
Bet no no no it was like more one of the like walking up to the window and placing it myself right like I’d always like been in the sports book and seen things but like I remember walking up to the window physically with my own money
And like batting with some of my guy friends and I remember the lights went out and I think I actually must have had San Fran because I was like please please I hope the lights St out please I hope the lights St out I thought I mean San Francisco with Kaepernick at
Quarterback oh yeah that was with Kaepernick Flo yeah Flo I knew it was Flo so if he wanted to go to the NFL he had an opportunity a great opportunity last year and the year prior he had the owner the new owner of the Denver
Broncos fly to an aror as a last ditch effort to woo him to be the Broncos head coach they end up with Shawn pton who I think’s done a great job after yes being crucified for that one and five start and rightfully so he’s turned things around they’re playing a lot better and
Russell Wilson seems to be fixed based on what he was doing last fixed I mean he’s not throwing terrible interceptions he looks he looks like the guy that here’s here’s fix he looks like the Russell Wilson that was consistent in okay that’s I think but he doesn’t cook
He’s not Mr unlimited so I don’t think he’s fixed I think he’s just mediocre but fixed based on what we saw from hackit and Company a year ago and then the one in five start it wasn’t based on Wilson’s play right so I I I do think
That pairing and it was pton chose this he was out for a year chose to be married to Russell Wilson I think that’s working out okay that Dynamic now the rest of the team will’ll see defense ly I think they’re a much better team which is which is what you really wanted to
See because that was more broken than Russell unless they’re playing fangio in Miami that was a hatred beat that game so if we take that game and we go forward I think they’re one of the most improved defensive teams so from the perspective of Harbaugh he’s had opportunities he also knew he was
Bringing back a roster Kelly where he believes there will be 20 players that could play in the NFL next season now some players are coming back for an extra year some you know injuries will play a factor whatever but he knew the roster was stacked and he’s coming off
Of a college football playoff loss to TCU and he’s he’s got a roster where he can go win a championship do you think that held him out or do you believe that and he’s in he’s in for Michigan based on the offer no 0 and seven in the college football
Playoff here’s the thing there are how many NFL teams we know the Chargers he’s already been flirting with them right the Panthers are in the market for a new head coach yeah where else is another logical spot for Harbaugh because don’t also forget we got to find a spot for Bill
Bellich too yeah um so New England could be a spot again I’m looking at where they’ve given power to coaches that’s one right Chicago to me makes sense oh you think they’re going to get rid of Fluss already I well they played well they won they I get it they it was
Against the Cardinals whatever um but eflu like he’s coaching for his job what we’ve seen from that offense and I mean the defense not great they’ve traded away a lot of talent they’ve been rebuilding do you want to continue to build behind the defensive coordinator
That was in Indie that we have not seen those results fine maybe they bring it back maybe they don’t but again like that would be that’s a pairing much like pton chose Wilson with the you have you have two first round picks potentially the number one overall pick based on
Carolina trading that pick to Chicago Harbaugh would have two first- round picks and he would have Justin fields and if he likes Justin Fields he could keep him doesn’t have to I I it’s just an intriguing spot based on the the management Factor the control you would
Have I I didn’t think they would ditch their coach and well they would also have to ditch their GM Harbaugh’s not going to have a GM correct is is there a Sign by date is this does this expire because I have a feeling if they lose to Alabama on New
Year’s Day he’s gone uh he’s going to the NFL he’ll be in the NFL because he is 0 and seven so in the college football playoff if okay so and if he can’t win game one in the college football playoff what are we doing but I mean
He’s 0 and seven and he’s losing to Alabama in the playoff he didn’t coach in on game day he coached during the week didn’t coach on game day six different times and he’s getting a 10-year $125 million offer that will go up I mean all coaches have Ray season every single year extensions
Upon extensions he’s getting that before he even plays a game and they want him to say you’re not going to flirt with the NFL however if he beats Bama let’s just say he goes on to win the title I think they’ll win the title what does
The offer look like then if he hasn’t signed it going that’s what I want to know of Leverage is this so as somebody who’s also in contract negotiations I find it rather interesting because at what point does he have the ability to say $125 million is not enough well that
Might be enough but the the idea that he can’t look around because in the NFL if he wins the national championship absolutely is he going to think he’s worth more money I think also depending on your happiness and I don’t think this NCAA thing is just going to go away
Well but what may go away is college football as we know it they have a super conference within this period of time that it takes the NCAA to lay the hammer down they may not have control of that I don’t think that’s going to happen there may be a commissioner of college
Football now well I say now two or three years from now yeah I was going to say four years but do we does that impact what Michigan is going to do with their program they I mean they they they’ve admitted that they it’s it’s more about the way Harbaugh has treated the NCAA
Than it is what the infractions that have occurred have been because the Big 10 even admitted that they can’t prove he did or did not know about Conor stallions and what was going on there again uh use common sense but they can’t prove it uh given the fact that so many
Presidents chancellors ads and coaches in the Big 10 wanted Tony petiti to lay the hammer down and the idea that the Big 10 couldn’t prove it if they had proof you better believe Ohio State Purdue any any of these teams they’re turning over that evidence that harau
Knew someone’s rolling I mean Ryan Day tried I I know but I me he spoke out very like passionately about hey look we know they cheat and then yet actually prove it is whenever you give the middle finger to the NCA you normally they lay
The hammer to you right so they when he said I you know I don’t recall and this was going back to January with the the recruiting violations you know he they tried to flip it and say it was over a hamburger but it was a covid year
Recruiting violation where he said he he did not recall what was going on he didn’t help he didn’t cooperate they’ll treat that with uh more more heavy-handed than what’s gone on with Conor stallions because they don’t have the proof otherwise the Big 10 would stay in this he wouldn’t be coaching
Right now if they had the proof I think that’s pretty evident they dropped their investigation after the three- game suspension to end the year ah this whole thing is just such a mess and he’s still getting the 10year 125 yeah well that kind of shows you that
Michigan’s like Hey we’re it let’s get married like where your last coaching job so they suspended him self-imposed for three games to begin the year and then they back off and acquest to the Big 10 after fighting it publicly because more info came out there was another coach that was involved and
Running his mouth right before the pen stake I mean or not fired excuse me he had like you know the penalties coming right that was a big middle finger from the big so I thought they must have something conclusive here to that in the very next
Week they were going to a hearing on Friday and Thursday is when Michigan stepped back and said he’s going to serve out the remainder of the suspension again even though Michigan did that they’re still offering him and prior to this there was a report that there was an offer on the table to
Harbaugh middle of the year that they wanted him to sign prior to the game against what Purdue I think um there’s been a few times they’ve tried to to extend him was it ruter yeah but they they’ve backed him the whole way so do they end up offering him the same
Contract they take away the NFL Clause yes they’ll end up doing that because they’ve backed him anyway through this I don’t agree with it that’s probably true I still stand by that I think if he loses to Bama on uh next Monday see I think I think win or lose
He’s bolting you do win or lose I think a lot of why he stayed had to do with this Roser I would agree with that JJ McCarthy in company and well I don’t think it’s J.J McCarthy I think he’s okay he’s a good game manager but I think he’s a first
Round pick well that’s crazy to think about we’ll talk about this in five years yeah I don’t think JJ’s a an NFL quarterback but I do college is great for him yes but I do think this defense has six or seven NFL players yeah on it
As it stands today uh and that’s where I love certain teams to really come in and to be able toep step forward JJ McCarthy does just enough for this offense and then the defense makes massive plays I mean we saw in the Big 10 championship
Game I mean Iowa did not score a point in the Big 10 championship game so JJ didn’t have to do anything he was never Under Pressure he was never rushed there was no reason to make a bonehead mistake now against Alabama we’re gonna find out but do you like Michigan I do like
Michigan I like them a lot in the spot who do you think they’re playing Texas because you said you you think they’re winning the title so personally I have a wager well I have a couple of different Wagers on Washington so when I say this there’s some some
Definite biases with my money and where I’d like everyone has doubted Washington all year so Michael pennick Jr um has had a couple weird games right a couple flat spots I would say for Washington where they kind of the road yeah where they kind of fell off um and then all of
A sudden everybody just bailed on this team then as you know double digit under dogs in the Pack 12 championship game yeah I took the four and a half uh but I also have we have we do a college football season wins pool so every win
You get uh goes into a pot right now we have not gotten a single Bowl win and I’m talking with you know San Jose State is a 10 and a half Point favorite New Mexico state is a three it’s been brutal we now have a onegame lead so I need
Washington to win the college football playoff for this call this big money League that I’m in and so there’s a little bit of bias there I will say well but the bad the bad performances for pinnick have been in tough conditions I believe Oregon State
Come to mind Coral is a tough place to play but I think it was raining that that week uh I look at the I mean they’re playing in the the dome right in New Orleans yeah they’re playing in New Orleans and yeah look Texas fans are all
Blowing me up saying can you get can you figure out how to get tickets to this game I’m going go on some aftermarket site and just pay for them sorry that your school didn’t get enough and they’re like oh you hate my school I’m like no I don’t hate your school I just
Think you’re consistently over overv valued I made Texas a one and a half Point favorite in this game so they have a little bit of little bit of uh location in their favor right not being too far away from Texas there in New Orleans watching fans have to travel a
Little bit F farther but I think this is going to be a really good game I I think it’s a great playoff um I hate I hate it for Florida State I do oh of course but who doesn’t this this is I mean this is
A ratings Bonanza oh this is going to be epic if it was Florida State in Over Texas I think it would be higher rated um not obviously with Jordan Travis not with the third string backup quarterback but I because Roemer is going to he’s entering the portal yep so that’s the
Tough part right and and and rightfully so you know and that’s part of the reason why Florida State’s trying to leave the ACC right now because they think that that’s why they didn’t get in and uh it’s unfortunate well that I think that is that in the quarterback
Situation of course but the the Texas value the eyeballs on the program uh the everyone recognizes hookham right same with Bama same with Michigan uh Washington is the you know the the underdog team even when they’re unbeaten the and I mean and they’ll be they’re leaving the Pack 12
No one’s viewing them like Texas though like Texas is bolting for the SEC and it’s like oh this is going to be we’re going to hear the SEC chance bolting for the Big 10 in the way that Washington did it by standing back waiting on the
Pack 12 to crumble and then they bolt with Oregon like they get the benefit the doubt and they’re now like the uh you know the the oh look at how great Washington has been they’re going to lose in the playoff but it’s a great
Storyline no no no I I’m with you I I’ve undervalued them uh I do think that Texas is valued at a great level though they’re really good John mlan joins us next he loved Baltimore in the preseason he and Kelly are going to be right about the Ravens Who gives a rat’s ass whether Stephen A Smith is happy or not Stephen A Smith is not happy about the leadership of Steph Curry now I want you to think about this for a second Stephen A Smith until ESPN got all woke and decided we need African-American face
Had been fired from every job I remember driving into my show and when he replaced oh man my man I forget his name out of DC I love the guy I’m like this is awful and then eventually Stephen A Smith got fired from that job and I’m
Like thank God we can get somebody in here well Stephen A Smith because ESPN decided oh my God diversity hire they hire Stephen A Smith and the Stephen A Smith’s credit he has taken off and ran with it good for him he’s done a great job he’s easy to work with by all
Accounts his producer ran a porn store that’s true uh had a porn company but I digress I don’t know if she still is the producer but one night when everybody got snowed in I was just having a drink with a couple of guys and she was sitting there and they started talking
About her porn company and I was intrigued anyway true story next thing you know Stephen A Smith played at Winston Salem he averaged no points Smoky gains legendary head coach had to kick him off because he was such a pain in the ass but yet somehow someway Stephen A Smith
Can attack that’s right he can attack Steph Curry now look uh I’m not mad at the premise I’m not mad at the premise of look Golden State Warriors why don’t you do something with Draymond Green but I am not happy with Stephen A Smith being the guy here’s what Smith said
Where’s the leadership where’s he at what kind of impact is having that is Stephen is he having that’s Stephen A Smith on Steph Curry well see this is what you don’t do you don’t respond back if you’re Steve Curry because that is what Stephen A Smith is dying to have I
Told you the story Eastern Conference Finals Pacers and the Heat I think it was he’s walking around trying to look important and guys are laughing at him because they know he doesn’t know jack [ __ ] about basketball so Steph uh Steve Kerr jumps back has anyone for anyone to question
Steph Cur leadership for is actually kind of sickening saw some of that yesterday disgusting we’re talking about one of the finest human beings I’ve ever been around but that’s the climate we live in we’re going to question Steve Curry’s leadership really you’re gonna do that think about that think about
That and Kerr’s not wrong look Stephen A Smith is a gutless Wonder Stephen A Smith doesn’t have nothing I mean he don’t have nothing he’s got no basketball chops you hear him talking basketball on TV he doesn’t know nothing I mean he may know something compared to
Chimmy O whatever the hell her name is or whatever the hell Doris Burke they may know something compared to those two but he don’t know nothing when it comes the real basketball he’s a fraud he’s a talker he doesn’t know a damn thing but anyway Steve Kerr jumped right into it
And that ain’t good we’re asking Steve K said oh excuse me according to Stephen A Smith Steve Kerr didn’t mention me by name I’ll mention Steve Kerr by name disgusted with him oh good be disgusted no one is questioning Steph Curry as a leader what we said was

Joins us as he has each and every week for uh oh he’s about to join us he’s about to jump back in Kelly John has been on our show with uh Chad and myself for like 15 years now he’s been a part of something we’ve been doing uh Pro
Football Hall of Fame selector he’s covered the NFL for nearly five decades like he’s been there and done that what he also does is predict who’s going to be in the Super Bowl he does that often and he’s hit it yet again John good to see you hope the Christmas was great for
You and the family and uh well you and Kelly you’re high on Baltimore and you had the Ravens as your pick for the Super Bowl congrats because they look great right now they do and Kelly nice to meet you um there’s two games left but after last
Night unless they get a lot of injuries like to Lamar Jackson and it is is amazing the teams that look the best just happen to have the fewest injuries and happen to have healthy quarterbacks so right now considering they’re built for the playoffs they can run they can
Pass they have quarterback and run they play great defense they can play outside they can play inside but if they play San Francisco in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas it’s GNA be really hard to beat the 49ers twice if I were the Ravens I would hope the 49ers get upset so I
Could play another team that wouldn’t be so upset at being humiliated uh in prime time uh as they were last night what do you make of Lamar Jackson John who is leading this Ravens team doing it without Mark Andrews loses JK doens early on a run-based offense they want
To throw it more they’ve added some pieces to the wide receiving Corp but it’s still all about Lamar Jackson Who is one MVP once before unanimously and you mentioned key players lost that’s two there’s so many other teams that have been dealing with so many injuries it’s whoever survival
Of the fittest and it’s a war of attrition too because if you keep your players healthy you got the best chance to win Jackson is still the most dangerous quarterback because of his mobility and he throws still always has bothered me the way he throws sidearm but obviously he’s effective I go back
You know he’s won one playoff game and then and then that game the Titans won in a huge upset what didn’t he account for over 500 yards in a losing effort it was close close to that you’re right I don’t see any AFC team because Kansas City is so
Discombobulated Miami to talk about L is healthy for the first time I think the real threat to the RAV would be the winner of the Buffalo Miami game in two weeks in South Florida and because the bills are hot and that would be another team that the Dolphins would have beaten
With a winning record because it’s been few and far between I think cow boy is the only one so it’s going to be a lot of fun in both conferences but I don’t think there’s a lot of competition right now if the road goes through uh Santa
CLA and the NFC in Baltimore in the AFC John you took the words right out of my mouth I don’t think there’s as much competition in the NFC I think the AFC top to bottom well at least the top five are much more competitive who do you
Think has a really good shot here to give the 49ers to run for their money during the playoffs I I I would love to see a Super Bowl with Detroit and Cleveland because of their longsuffering fans the Lions haven’t wanted title since the 50s and they’ve won one playoff game since those
Titles just won the division for the first time in 30 years the Browns haven’t won a championship since 1964 which was Jim Browns next to last year and Blandon Coler was the coach but it’s the fans that I would like to see rewarded I don’t see the Lions going to
Santa Clara and beating the 49ers on the road the way the Ravens did um Dallas no Dallas just lost two in a row they’re wimps when they go on the road they’re like they go into the phone booth and they come out as Clark K not
Superman and I think they’re just such a disappointment every Cowboy fan I know just cringes at the thought of having to play on the road even if it’s Tampa Bay now Philadelphia lost three in a row they almost lost to the Giants so I don’t think there’s any real team in the
NFC that has balance on both sides of the ball that could beat the 49ers maybe maybe the Lions but you know what they say about those indoor teams going on the road in January to play uh so I’m I’m guessing when it comes right down to it probably the Eagles because of the
Experience because of the balance but they just don’t look good right now I’m glad you agree with me on the Eagles not looking good right now Jonathan Hutton over here sure tried to make a compelling case for this well I lost you guys again I can’t hear oh you lost the
Audio Yeah well so the compelling case though for me with Philadelphia is this uh they’re Talent they’re Talent around the quarterback Mahomes just doesn’t get it done this year because the confidence level in his receivers are it’s just not that I don’t I wouldn’t trust them
Either this has been going on since week one when they lost to Detroit and they were yes it has they’ve been nearly Unstoppable when you play Kansas City at Arrowhead uh I the games that they’re losing to ARA this year it’s part it it’s it’s part uh you know other team doing some
Really good things schematically but in large part it’s receivers that are just dropping pass I’m sorry I didn’t hear that my sound went off and then it came back we can hear John there so yeah we’ll check on it just keeps going off yeah well so Kelly I’m I’m all in on
Philly figuring things out it doesn’t mean that I think they’re going to continue to uh go on this tear and be back in the Super Bowl I just trust them to figure things out and actually play teams the way we were used to seeing Philly play I don’t think Kansas City’s
Doing that no Kansas City’s not I wouldn’t even put them in the I would not even put them in the conversation right now unfortunately yes you mentioned talent-wise Patrick Mahomes is the greatest quarterback right now as it stands today in the NFL he’s still making his goat campaign um obviously
He’s got plenty of time to do so they’re not doing it this year though but he’s just not and he’s he cannot do it by himself years past we saw him be able to make plays um where nothing short of miraculous and now this year we’re seeing other quarterbacks you know John
Just mentioned he didn’t like the way that Lamar throws sidearm yeah well Patrick mahom sure throw sidearm and nobody says a single thing about it but he’s done it where he’s done it in the postseason when it matters right John we’ve never seen momes go on the road in
The postseason which is crazy uh this year I don’t care if they’re playing at home I think they’re losing in the postseason they’re just not built in the same manner and I mean I don’t blame the reports that you know Mahomes doesn’t necessarily trust his receiving CP we’ve known that for
Weeks they’re so discombobulated on offense out of syn you see their frustration slamming their helmets arguing with each other they’re not used to living like the rest of the NFL lives I think is great if they have to go on the road for a change and try to win
Because based on what I’ve seen uh recently they’re not going to win a playoff game John you mentioned Dallas and having to go on the road where they haven’t they haven’t had success now three and five this season what does that mean for Mike McCarthy they’ve had back-to-back 12- win Seasons nothing to
Show for it they’ve lost back-to-back years to San Francisco Jerry’s not getting any younger and he wants another title they’ve got talent they’ve got a contract for Dak Prescott where they’re going to have to do something there moving forward again is Mike McCarthy one of the surprise coaches that no
One’s talking about when we we were talking about him for two years and now it’s just a foregone conclusion he’s not on the hot seat they can’t win on the road and they’ve been really good at home we know how good they can be they’re going to have to prove in the
Postseason the road if they lose again what does that mean for him I don’t think Jerry Jones Is Gonna fire McCarthy he’s not quick trigger owner a lot of people think he’s impulsive but he’s not when it comes to his head coaches he may make significant change es you think
About this they got issues in defense as well Dan Quinn everybody loves but their defense has not been real good either so I could see him making some changes maybe hire another offensive coordinator and say Mike your season was nice while it lasted but we’re going to make these
Changes somebody can try to help us be more consistently productive on the road because winning on the road is basically M yes uh who’s going to win period in the AFC South 0 for four this past weekend and the Texans remain in the thick of it because Jacksonville can’t
Slam the door yeah Jacksonville’s lost four in a row Trevor Lawrence is hurt they’re not playing well at the wrong time I think Indy’s going to beat the Texans in the last game in Indianapolis and Indie is going to win it and Jacksonville to me they got the tie
Breakers they need to keep losing for the Colts far as the Texans I mean everybody thought they’re going to be the second worst team team in the league right now they’ve won eight if they people are going to be disappointed if they don’t make the playoffs now look at
All these other teams that have their starting quarterback and I think well would the Texans have been better these last two games one beating the Browns U or the game before when he went out uh if he had if strout had stayed in had lost his tight end for two games his top
Wide receivers so Texans have been bombarded with injuries and it’s a miracle there where they are Kelly I discussing earlier uh comeback Player of the Year with what Joe flacko has done since week 13 now three consecutive games over 300 yards passing the the results are fantastic in Cleveland
They’re in the they’re right now the five seed Demar Hamlin is the oddson favorite to win comeback play of the year I know there’s no real criteria though for the award how do you think this vote goes if flacko continues this pace and Cleveland’s in the postseason it’s only it’s the voting
Accounts for only regular season not postseason blacko doesn’t deserve to win it over somebody’s been playing all season and dear Hamlin hasn’t played I vote for somebody who has played who’s overcome adversity I don’t take a guy who’s been just played bad and all of a
Sudden he plays great I want a guy that’s been injured or something that what actually means comeback but you’re right johnan there is no criteria the voters had you put it any way you want to do it I think dear Hamlin is going to run away away with it Flo will probably
Get a few votes but I prefer somebody that’s played the entire season we say it’s flacko we would prefer flacko or Baker Mayfield based on their play this year and Mayfield played last year you know he’s just played better to me it’s not somebody in my opinion just who’s
Played better you got have been down and out and you come back usually for somebody from injury or illness that’s who I’m looking for not somebody that a change of zip code and all of a sudden played better like Baker Mayfield I’m sure he’ll get some votes too several
Several zip codes there in the last 12 months for Baker Mayfield uh what about uh let’s let’s throw In Tua for the discussion then no Tua played all year till he got hurt and hit his head concussion right he’s got if if he beats Buffalo he might be finish number two in
MVP voting the offensive player of the year is going to be Tyreek killer or Christian mcaffrey uh just depends on your cup of about what a player does for his team but a quarterback will be the MVP and one of those guys will be offensive player of the year and
Defensive player the year is up as well what do you make of Buffalo they they pull one out when they shouldn’t have against the Chargers and they’re still squarely right there they could end up winning the division even though Miami has a two- game lead Miami takes
On Baltimore on the road Buffalo has New England and then they play each other in two weeks and Miami closing schedule is brutal with a capital B if they were to lose to Baltimore but then wining home over Buffalo after the way the bills humiliated them earlier in this season
You know I think to a ton of aloa would be an nvp conversation but right now I’m gonna I think Miami is going to beat them down there Buffalo be a wild card team nobody wants to play and uh somebody said well what if Buffalo wins out division shouldn’t Josh Allen be in
The MVP conversation and I would say if that happens he should be John I’m the gambling resident here at outkick if if you will uh there’s a few of us but I have always a funny question about week 17 now we also have week 18 so we know systematically eight
Teams are already eliminated from the playoffs but they still have games to play over the next two weeks how do you like to approach weeks 17 and 18 when you’re just looking to see who’s actually going to lose a game like you look at the the Bears and the Broncos
The Raiders and the Saints while they’re pretty much on the outside looking in they still have you know maybe an eight or 12% chance to make the playoffs John 30 seconds when it comes to gambling I always want the hot team that has the most to play for nobody loses on purpose
But some teams have just packed it in that happens every year so I’d be very careful about taking an underdog that had nothing to play for yes John never Underdog always the favorite on this show John thank you as always man we’ll catch up soon johnan Kelly thank you
Very much for having me sports radio 60.com is where you can find his great work audio video columns and more at mlan coronor NFL as well on social coming up alphas and betas of the weekend and well there’s one that includes a Porsche that’s next What would you spend on an engagement ring I’m not I’m not an engagement ring type of person I’m like but if she wanted a ring I probably spend like 20 on it 20 what th 20,000 that’s a lot of money you don’t get that lady a real answer no for
Real ain’t it how much you make though price I didn’t really care size absolutely um had to had to be big enough it could be seen and I didn’t want like a basic ring I wanted like eclectic like vintage looking so we did a custom order to do my ring I didn’t
Have a preference I just had a gold preference and he kind of took it from there and you trusted him did he crush it oh yeah he crushed it I’ve been spoiled th far and so I don’t think I could ever go back from what I received
Last time okay so high standards that’s good what are the standards okay it was it was five carats okay and it was um beautiful mine was way too expensive what’s way too expensive like $445,000 you probably went with a real diamond very much so yeah do you think
That that’s kind of a flex for the guy like is the engagement ring yeah is the guy is the engagement ring only for the girl or do you get to watch other people look at your girl’s ring solely for the girl solely for the girl you don’t get
Any enjoyment couldn’t care less do we think gender roles are a thing of the past or we should bring them back um I feel like it depends on certain things but I feel like now it’s like a teammate like that should be your partner your teammate like I’m not cleaning all the
House all the time cuz I’m not your mom I agree we’re dink double income no kids so I really like a partnership but I don’t want to take the trash out so he’s going to have to do that she takes the kids I provide very traditional do you
Think that more young people should do that yes very much so what is it about like a motherly quality that you like it’s worked for thousands of years and it still works today I like being girly I’m a girl and I like being girly so I like traditional gends okay well
According to the seven hermetic principles one of those being the law of gender what it say gender manifest on all levels mental physical spiritual emotional all level throughout the cosmos there’s gender I don’t know it’s a lie it’s a book I read called the Supreme way
Of of of men or women or something like that and it’s spoke on how whether it’s two women or two men there still has to be someone who’s masculine someone who’s feminine my friend do you know what Riz means uh yeah Riz is like it’s like game
You know what game is like when you’re trying I don’t have any but I know what it is it’s like the new word for game so meaning like you you’re able to speak well and and get you know a date kind of I do not do you have any guesss I could
Guess what do you think like I don’t know rasle tassle I don’t know can du actually you’re not too far off corre Charisma you know Riz Charisma been able to talk someone up did you read that online or did you already know what that meant I’m on Tik Tok way too much okay
Another word that has become very popular this year do you know what menty b means I don’t know any of this stuff I’m not on social media I don’t know any of it what about menty B do people use the word menty b in real life what is
That you don’t know menty B I’ve never heard of m b a mental breakdown what menty b a mental breakdown you have a m b everybody but I like that I didn’t know that but I like that m b it’s that like that chocolate mint
Thing what does menty B mean I have no idea I don’t know what that menty b you heard you don’t know menty B I’ve never heard menty B and never in my Life no with row this week Kelly Stewart in in studio thankful for that thank you Kelly H my with h with her rolls on so uh Chad loves the dad hat at the outkick store uh the new and improved outkick store it’s available right now you can
Stock up on golf polos t-shirts hats and more shop. outkick.com that’s shop. outkick.com do I know what a dad hat is no I don’t I think it’s the one with like the Rope right is like that that’s like a dad hat that’s just the Rope thing I thought that was just like a
Throwback hat oh I don’t know I’m just guessing I I don’t know I don’t know I didn’t know it was a dad hat you’re supposed to know these things no I’m not I’ll ask the stylist okay thanks yeah she’s gonna be like why she’ll know the answer though shop.
Outkick.com is is where you can get it U so each week Chad and I will pick out the the alphas and betas of the weekend and we’ve got plenty to choose from the good and the bad we start with the alphas regardless of how you feel about Michigan and Jim Harbaugh and what’s
Gone down with Conor stallions because again there is a inherent ADV Advantage based on knowing those signs and having the guy next to your offensive defensive coordinator as they make adjustments this lands in the alpha spot for me because 10 years $125 million offer and Kelly I I don’t care what uh
Is going on with the NCAA that is an alpha a position that Harbaugh currently sits in going into the college football playoff beating Ohio State now owning Ryan day and now sits in the spot as the number one team of the country albeit they didn’t they didn’t draw Florida state they’re getting
Alabama but if they do what you expect them to do which is win 10 years 125 turns into what it turns into whatever Jim Harbaugh says pay me and and he’s either going to get that in from Michigan which they’ve tried to back him the whole way or he’ll boat for bolt for
The NFL and get power over dollars but will Michigan be able to keep him if some of the money is similar to what we saw McVey get to stay with the extension similar to what we’ve heard with Shan pton who got paid handsomely to go to Denver no doubt he was offered something
Similar to whatever pton received from Denver because they paid John pyton that money I think he’s bolting but he sits in a great spot because he gets to leverage once again for the third consecutive year college versus the NFL and he gets to leverage himself once again against Michigan where he sits
Back and says okay you want me to sign this contract where I can’t flirt with the NFL or or talk to the NFL about jobs um I just wanton the title you’re going to have to uh boost this offer because this offer has been on the table well before we departed for
The match up against B in the college football playoff Alpha yeah he’s definitely an alpha you have you have to give him that credit I will say this if he loses though to Bama on Monday I’m I’m revoking his Alpha card at that point in time you have not won a single
College football playoff game you’re I can’t put you in the same conversation as a Nick Sabin as a Kirby Smart and and those are both coaches that are being paid very well and not 125 million 10 10 deal you’ve got Sabin Kirby Smart Dabo I mean it is hang on hang
On name the so the Jimbo Fisher resume yeah but I wouldn’t put Jimbo in there but who the coaches that are getting paid who have done nothing the coaches who are getting paid now who have not even played for a title the their the resume of actually winning a
Championship is very short right now in college football where everyone’s getting paid a boatload of money to fail but I don’t understand this case in this case though I mean he took a pay cut a couple handful of years ago because he was you know put on
Probation they didn’t end up firing him but he won it back uh I either way even if he loses he’s got 10 years 125 you know that’s crazy he does have 10 years 125 I know it’s crazy but like that’s the that’s the going rate now
For a team that just makes the college football play but doesn’t win that’s what these guys get paid it’s nuts to me the offers for not actually capitalizing I I don’t understand it now granted my alma moer can never even be in that type of conversation MoneyWise just not there
Texas A&M’s got more money than oil money than God we know this and they’re going to continue to do that same thing with Texas though look Texas ran off ma Brown for what purpose oh because he had a couple of uh you know eight win Seasons nine win Seasons not good enough
A lot of these universities have Championship or bust mentalities why isn’t Michigan holding Harbaugh to the same standard well because he’s getting them to the the level where their their standard is beat Ohio State okay and play for a title and but he hasn’t got to play for a title because he hasn’t
Even gotten past the semi-finals but you’re not seeing anyone else from the Big 10 do that he’s being judged on that that’s and this past off season that’s not true this past offseason though they they had drills that weren’t about the Buckeyes it was about the Bulldogs in
Georgia like they had periods in practice this off season that was the Georgia period they were planning to be you know they’ve been physical against the Big 10 and not so much in the college football playoff it wasn’t TCU uh because TCU had the dummy signals uh
Turns out that did help turns out it did help but also let’s talk about Ohio State yeah probably should have beat Georgia if Ryan day didn’t play so conservatively I mean he played for the field goal that was an I mean that was an insane game that was an
That was the that was the championship game right but here’s my problem we cannot hold these other guys to a standard Nick Sabin has basically got like all but a lifetime contract to Alabama correct yeah yes of course right but at same for Kirby Smart okay but at what
Point do those fan bases say okay with Sabin never with Kirby Smart never with the back toback titles but you’re right about so so if next year Kirby Smart wins seven games and then the next next year he wins seven games and then the following season he wins maybe eight
Well but they’re not going to that’s not going to be the issue at Georgia I’m just wondering where the where the where the floor is right because well the floor would be so the floor is going to be difficult to figure out now because the 12 team playoff is going to make a
Lot of coaches feel like they’re successful correct that’s now the standard um there so I mean if Georgia has to you know God forbid Georgia has to host a a game in the first round of the playoff instead of getting the Buy uh which they would be doing this year
And there could be a very Scrappy Underdog team yeah there could be I would rather play uh some of these other conferences like Washington Florida State Michigan than I would want to play Georgia or Alabama right now right so we know Liberty would be in right I don’t
Think Liberty is going to go into Athens and spring the upset but I think that they could go in there and put up a dog fight well but I mean I I think that’s a boat race type game on the road in Athens it could be but it doesn’t mean
That Georgia doesn’t get caught looking ahead yes it’s still a playoff game but but what you get is the you get the USC effect that Tain had where Tain beat USC last year uh those games are going to happen but I think the the raises the
Claws in the contract the what you know that it’s going to be difficult to figure out where the bar is because programs like Old Miss Kentucky uh just look at the SEC LSU is on a different plane with what Brian Kelly is expected to do look what’s going on with Brian
Kelly you’re not hearing these whisperings like all of a sudden he’s wanting to jump ship well I don’t know for U where I I don’t know whoever wants to pay him more money to not have to play in the SEC look you look at Jimbo Fisher and that was I didn’t didn’t want
To play in the SEC though he wouldn’t have left Notre Dame he wanted he wanted to play he wanted to face Savin and now and now here we are two years later three two and a half years later but the the the money involved in the buyouts if you end
Up I mean 42 to 45% of the athletic budgets in the power five on average go to buy outs and and payments to coaches or or administrators who are no longer in those walls right but you have to remember I don’t come from that world but that would be the neighboring School
Across the across the highway they’re still paying former coaches because they make bad hires right so my problem is is that I know why Michigan wants to lock Harbaugh up they want him for the next 10 years so they have basically relatively stressfree they know that the
Bottom with Harbaugh is eight games they know that the ceiling is National Championship possibilities so that makes sense why they want to but I do also think that that is a big commitment for a guy that does not have a national championship and has not performed well in the college football playoff well
You’ll you’ll lose him if you don’t give the commit I think the fear of losing and and and what happens in the replacement era right is larger than expectation of where we’re going I think that’s fair um because again look look at the money at oron the grass is not
Greener on the other side you brought up Brian Kelly the grass is not greener you ran off a coach who had won you a national championship two years prior for what a guy who doesn’t fit culturally a guy who costs more money a guy who could have won a national
Championship with Notre Dame oh yeah well but although last year was very surprising for what Kelly did in year one compared to what we’ve seen this year and he’s got the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback from out west too I mean he’s done a nice job at LSU considering the expectation of what we
Thought week one I don’t think LSU fans are happy with him and I think that fans are not but so are we judging LSU and Bama and Georgia are we judging like Kentucky will miss because those those coaches too are getting paid Texas A&M you know they’re spending top dollar
Well yeah but Texas San M fans have been off the rail since basically the week the week three of his first season but look at the list of coaches that are paid more than Harbaugh and what Harbaugh has done at Michigan compared to those coaches so I mean if you’re
Just just judging based on results while there’s no title they’re far better results in an arbor than what we’ve seen and these coaches continue to just cash these checks and while it’s never been more difficult to be the coach in college football where you can’t even run a
Player uh you have EX excise uh discipline exercise in Minnesota apparently that’s that’s out of the realm of of punishment now um yeah I I look at what Harbaugh’s done and think that’s the standard and that’s why ran day there chirping about him being on the hot seat because he can’t beat
Harbaugh it’s not because he can’t win against other opponents uh he’s done a nice job except for facing Michigan and even this year he didn’t faed Harbaugh in that game and he still lost still lost in an embarrassing F and he’s paid more than Harbaugh right now is he
Really I did not know that yes um I mean there again there are a number of Co he’s right now harau I believe is making less than Lane kein just based on results again it’s crazy tremendous job I think he’s doing a tremendous job I think he’s a culture
Guy I think Lane is is very beloved in Oxford but he didn’t sign that contract that says I can’t flirt with other teams that is also true and that’s what they’re asking Harbaugh to do because I They Don’t Fear the other programs in college football Michigan fears
Replacing him after he bolts for the NFL where the hiring process it’s much later after the college football cycle has gone through so you’re chasing the NFL teams not coaches that could replace Harbaugh at that time the timing’s off yeah I don’t know who Michigan could go
Out and get right now if if Harbaugh bolts let’s say he wins a national championship and then he’s gone they they would turn to uh the their assistance they would Elevate one of their they would up more that to me is one of the worst things I think you can
Do uh there are there are far worse gifts far it’s tough to top but maybe none better than a Porsche uh Otani gifts Joe Kelly his his wife a Porsche because she led the campaign with the Dodgers uh that was the #o take 17 the number 17 Joe Kelly
Gave 17 to Otani when he joined the Dodgers and Otani shows up uh and says hey let’s send Joe Kelly’s wife a Porsche and that’s exactly what happened where someone drove the Porsche over and said Otani says he want you to have this Merry Christmas for leading the campaign for number
17 I this happens a lot in the NFL where you come in and you buy the you have to pay for the number which I is just crazy to um but you want the number so bad no matter where Otani was going he was going to get any number he wanted to
Immediately but you Dodgers had anything to do with that like Hey Joe if we get this guy just so you have to 17 no because because Joe’s Joe was going to do it but they were recruiting him and it was the OT take 17 hashtag where he
Like hey you come here you’re getting your number automatically which he would do anyway but I you know partnership with Porsche or not like the guy’s taking uh there he’s bumping the payments down the road years down the road and then he’s doing all the right
Things and so did Joe Kelly Joe Kelly’s the guy that threw at the Astros when no one else would whenever he’s back with it he’s he’s pitching on the mound and you’ve got the great meme of him uh you know taunting as he goes to the to the
Dugout and now his wife is giving up to his husband’s number it’s a great job by the Kelly and great job by Otani you would drive a Porsche right no never why would I want to drive a Porsche I know well again you’re Filthy Rich that’s why he headlines

We live in a Land of participation trophies you got to lean into the turns you really got to lean into the turns when Leah Thomas walked in that first day it got silent and every girl was uncomfortable very difficult to go backto back years in the NFL with the
Number one overall pick is it fair for people to be upset with Barb I’ve been out of LA long enough to have forgotten that Libs no matter how ridiculous a scenario are going to live another week of inflation another week with Biden with Co and another set of
Losers to Crown people don’t watch the WNBA on TV in person on a plane on a train on a bus or on purpose I mean what have you seen firsthand of how this has affected you in the plant and your fellow employees under Joe Biden the Taliban has retaken Afghanistan Putin
Has invaded Ukraine so if there was ever a time for for freaking aliens to inhabit and Conquer Earth now would be that time we’ve seen coaches throw water bottles we’ve seen coaches act like idiots we’ve seen coaches slap other coaches but I think if you’re involved in carjacking you’re inherently a rotten
Human being the level of stupid uh that sometimes gets on our YouTube chat just gives me a headache you’re born a male play with males you’re born a female play with females don’t at me about it the American people are being cheated we ladies and gentlemen are being
Cheated I made the call to end the me tooo movement and today I’m going to continue making that case that’s just a way to further taunt these women to make them feel less than to make them realize that this this has just become a big joke Deion Sanders is the Donald Trump of
Football we were directly impacted by the whole leot Thomas thing and we were able to see you guys on the ground with your signs supporting that was huge they were saying oh it’s only one or two that’s rubbish and we all know that’s rubbish once those trans identify males
Were able to succeed it just encouraged Others Old Smoky Moonshine and whis old Taste of The Just like that final hours here Tuesday edition hot M with Hut and with r across the out kick Network Kelly Stewart in for Chad this week who is off to the uh In-laws in Nebraska his annual trek to Nebraska in the snow I believe the ice storm is already passed through he’s
Currently flying over that probably uh on his way to Omaha Final Destination but better travel conditions for you today than than Chad congrats Kelly you can’t use Final Destination for me ever like that the movie the movie’s ruined me forever I can’t even be you know how many of those are there
I don’t know do you know how many logging trucks there are in the state of Florida I had no idea uh they’re everywhere and every single time I end up behind one I’m like well this is it for me you honestly think that no I but I
Was like I don’t know like middle think of the movie was I like in middle school or high school when it came out and it just was very prolific I mean let’s look this up because there are a lot of them um I have no idea and as we do that I’ll
Remind you that the new and improved outkick store is up and available for you shop. outkick.com shop. outkick.com is where you go for all of the merch for outkick um how many of them are there let’s see it started in so Final Destination 2 randomly pops up that was
2003 so okay so I five of them I was a freshman in college when the second one came out so I would have been in high school when the first one came out 2000 was the first one okay uh it’s been high school for me as well it’s been a
While it’s interesting that you think of that cuz I think of like uh when I’ve hear certain songs I think think of a movie but the scene of like the logging trck how many logging trucks are there uh entirely too many I’m telling you one too many between where I live and where
My dad is it must just be like the The Log Road like you see in Canada cuz that’s they’re just everywhere so some uh there I know some people who hate going underneath Bridges they they will or overpasses they will speed through it as fast as possible because they think
The overpass is going to follow them no but is that another scene from it no but my mom won’t take the big Sun Coast Bridge from Tampa she is terrified of it and I have to drive over it all the time I’m like what are you talking about it’s
A brand new bridge it’s fine but because the one PR previously he collapsed in like the 80s because a because a boat hit it it didn’t just collapse because it was poorly built that’s a final destination though like and story line oh gosh now now I’m going to be scared
Now that I’ve actually processed what could possibly happen I don’t think we have any uh logging trucks though in Tennessee you’re good no you guys are good here but I’m also not going to be driving while I’m here yeah rely on your Uber six of PE location with ehot beer
And Old Smoky Moonshine um yesterday Christmas Day growing up going back to high school let’s go back to middle school high school Kelly Christmas day was The Unofficial but at least for me the official tip off of the N National Basketball Association I don’t even think about the NBA anymore on Christmas
Day some of that’s due to just the boredom I have with the league itself but the NFL has stepped in and they’ve taken over the holidays period uh they’re creating them like the Black Friday games now billion dollars for the rights to have that on Amazon Prime and they’ve got the triple header
On Christmas day now where the schedule lines up based on the weekend and they crush it they crush and the NBA’s an afterthought are you like me did you have the I don’t pay attention to the NBA until the playoffs now because that’s when I actually see the
Competitive nature of what that league is supposed to be I would growing up though I would pay attention to the NBA around around Christmas and moving forward football just ended bowl games for the most part you you’re out for the holidays uh you got New Year’s Day bowls and then then
It was it was the vote then it was the BCS era and it was straight basketball after that college and NBA now it’s just straight college for me I don’t even think about NBA Hoops and I used to and it used to start on the 25th of December
My buddy uh Tim I saw on X during our break went six and0 in his gambling picks and I’m like oh oh how did I miss your Tweet because the NBA is is that’s like the real kickoff right Christmas day was the November never mattered now we’ve got all these inseason tournaments
And they’re trying to do stuff but when Steve Kerr even says the product is not good yeah it’s not good and I’m with you call me in April we can talk about NBA all the time during the playoffs it has to be after the All-Star break at this
Point in time before it is even watchable now I know they’re trying to change it they’re trying but I couldn’t explain to you what the tournament was about in season Grandma did not leave my couch yesterday I think they got there at oh 12:30 so right before the Chiefs
Uh Raiders kicked off East Coast time she did not leave my couch until they went home during halftime um of of the yeah the Ravens uh San Francisco game because it was wall to–all NFL I guarantee if there was no NFL yesterday she’ have been mingling with us in the
Kitchen hanging out watching the kids open present she did not leave that corner the couch all day long and she’s such an NFL fan nobody’s doing that for the NBA they’re just not there’s no hype around and the again like on that day you’d have all the players wearing their
Shoes there would be special shoes with through the Jordan brand or whatever I don’t even like again I don’t even think about the games that are on I I completely I’m scrolling I’m going right past them right past them well there was no scrolling it was just the game was on
The scrolling to go to the next game though you know the next Network like I’m not even thinking about it no and that’s a a definite result of how poor the product really truly is right now and how much I think that culturally people are sick of certain athletes and
It has gotten to a point where if I don’t have money on it I’m not watching anyway I enjoyed the playoffs last year with what Denver was doing I grew up as a big nuggets fan D kimbe Matumbo but it’s just playoffs now that’s it they
Have the right fees up coming up that’s they have their 10year CBA locked under their Collective baring agreement with their players they they’re trying to negotiate big money for their next television contract and I mean the NFL’s now taking over and what a speaking of Alphas that the NFL’s stance on just
We’re going to create holidays and then we’re going to demand that you watch our product on holidays so be it everyone’s doing it I mean grandma called me to get a peacock uh yeah that exclus be playoff game yeah she goes how do I get peacock
And I’m like what is she talking about and I forgot that there was a a game on that nobody should have cared about right Bill’s Chargers Bill’s huge favorite and she’s like no no no I’m looking at the score it’s a really good
Game I need to get it so I had to walk her through how to download And subscribe to Peacock so that she can now watch one game a month for 5.99 you will either have the let’s see the NFC South champ or the AFC South champ playing on the exclusive streaming only
Game on peacock which is the first game owns NBC okay that makes sense yes of course but yeah so there’s it just like this past weekend it’ll you’ll have a playoff game only on peacock um what is awful though mentioned like Steve Kirk calling out The League uh NFL officials right now awful
Communications down like there was a at the game the other day the Titans and Seahawks there was a touchdown that was ruled in complete but I couldn’t even say it’s ruled incomplete because the officials did not give a signal one way or the other Pete Carol ended up
Challenging the play that DK metf caught it was a touchdown there was no signal of incomplete or touchdown at all they just went back to the Huddle and there was a red flag that was a a challenge flag from Pete Carroll ridiculous that they don’t even signal incomplete or not
And that if you call it a touchdown it’s automatically reviewed meanwhile Carol had to use one of his challenges he had lost a challenge earlier so that was his final challenge of the game the roughing passer penalties are it they have to review this have to review this in the
Offseason it’s it’s it’s out of hand and some of the other penalties that we have seen while uh you know was the player in the neutral zone for Kansas City a couple weeks ago yes he was um have I been on the sidelines for multiple years where I’ve seen officials come over as
The offense comes back to the sideline after a three and out or after a touchdown whatever after the drive and the official comes over and tells the player straight up hey uh watch it because you’re in the you’re in the neutral zone yes that happens often and do offensive linemen hold on almost
Every single play Yeah there there’s just not enough consistency so and it’s really bad I’ve been doing a podcast with a A bookmaker buddy of mine for years and he says right mind you his job is to set the lines on these games that he does not watch the refs he has been
Saying we’ve been doing this show for six years that is an unwatchable product and at first it was a joke right right yeah and the more games that I watch right because of NFL Red Zone where I don’t have any action on Browns Texans or as you mentioned Seahawks Titans but those
Are the the games that are popping up or they’re off to the side so you catch glimpses right of these moments of what are they doing they are ruining the game so bad I agree there was a point in college football where targeting calls were not consistent and as fans we were
Very vocal right college football fans will get fired up and I think they went back and they drew a hard line that said okay there is this is targeting did he leave with his head did he lead with his shoulder and they they started to make some
People like less of a gray area the NFL is always a gray area and it also depends on who the quarterback is what the back of the name what the Jersey says because Patrick Mahomes is getting the Tom Brady treatment whether people want to admit that in Kansas City or not he absolutely
Is but Mahomes is getting fine now because he’s not even getting the the calls to go his way well now he’s now he’s kind of throwing it back right towards the ref saying hey because he used to get those calls going his way whereas you watch well I would I would
Also say there we’re past we’re past this era where the officials just let guys play in many cases like I would prefer less roughing the passer penalties uh but they’re doing it for the sake of injuries look how many quarterbacks are already injured anyway
Did you see the O lineman I I do not remember which game it was but I saw the clip on Instagram the O lineman fell like this arms out like moving his arms to prove he didn’t put his whole body weight out yes that’s literally what
We’re get the guy looks like he’s a 350b swimmer because he’s trying to prove like hey I didn’t forcefully put 330 pounds on this quarterback I’m going to find the clip during the break because it is so absurd that he had to do this so that he didn’t get flagged for making
A tackle and there’s no accountability like we used to hear from Pereira or blandino there was a voice to the officiating Crews now they don’t do that there’s there’s no one like that uh that’s at the head of the of offici officiating at the league office in New
York it’s not happening now they’ve got those guys they’re just not speaking on behalf of the league about officiating and look at the NFL scoring week to week some really bad offensive outputs where in many cases bailouts by poor officiating isn’t even leading to many points which is also crazy let’s talk
Points for tonight’s bowl games Kelly has been on a roll I would say second half of the Season you’ve been crushing it it’s been and I’ve been what I’ve been following you though I’ve been whatever you recommend I’ve been when it comes to uh what you’ve been doing in
Espec NFL you’ve been crushing it the the big thing both season we need to get it back yeah we do the the big thing with NFL is as the season gets goes along the lines get tighter and I think the biggest thing is you can do is to
Just hone in on one or two bets right but unfortunately I’m in these contests where we have to pick five or seven your parlays yeah or my parlays your single that’s the thing if I just stuck with my Best Bets Ravens on Monday night I would
Have woke up very happy this morning but instead you were instead I had had to pick 10 for a contest I’m in and I got stuck with teams like the Cowboys and uh the Vikings and so forth so tonight we have the Guaranteed Rate bow Kansas
UNLV uh UNLV is they’re getting 11 and a half uh is is it over for UNLV or do you take the mega points against a Kansas team that knocked off Oklahoma yeah Kansas that was huge for me that was a nice uh big Underdog home win and and
Things really started to uh to come to fruition for the rest of the year about this team and I said they would not win eight games and well what did they do they got there they got their eight wins but just slightly under that eight and a
Half I beat my buddy JB because he doesn’t know how to look at Vegas lines uh six and a half was the line set from Vegas so they in Vegas terms exceeded expectations right but in Jayhawk fandom World in Lawrence Kansas they thought Big 12 Championship they thought nine10 wins
You don’t make those big enough jumps now granted Jaylen Daniels didn’t end up playing but Jason Beam not that big of a drop off once he really started to come into fruition here but I think the big thing is that we’re going to see the offensive coordinator uh Andy and I’m
Going to butcher his last name because I always do col Nikki went to Penn State coach for James Franklin because well they need some help offensively clearly they’re in Happy Valley I think that that is something you have to look at in terms of where someone coming in from so
Jeff Grimes is going to be the new offensive coordinator in Lawrence we’re going to see how he does he was previously uh with BYU and if you remember with the Atlanta Falcons yeah so we’ll see how that comes to fruition but sometimes those types of relationships take a while to gel so
When this one came out at 12 and a half I said look at this UNLV team they just got embarrassed in the Mountain West Title game but nobody expected this team to win nine games no one and they were so good against the spread all season long the rebels have the
The I think I’ll call it a spark with Barry odm that I had never seen I mean I lived there for 15 years and it it didn’t matter what big name coach they brought in it didn’t matter anything they did they could not get something
Going and they’re in a bowl game for the first time in a decade yeah and they’re playing in an NFL stadium right you you have to remember the silver bowl that they used to play in in east Las Vegas yeah you didn’t want to go over there
And then oh by the way somebody was dumb enough to ban tailgating because nobody actually went inside the games they just went to tailgate and that just crushed ticket I mean the the history of UNLV football is is rather crazy for someone to come in as a first year head coach
He’s changed the culture in Las Vegas so UNLV has several transfers don’t they yes does that affect how you play this game because Kansas doesn’t have any right but I think what you got to realize is that sometimes when we see this laundry list of who’s transferring
And why you’ve got to see how how much of an influence IAL impact they had first of all K was way too big of a favorite in this game anyway the line should have been n and a half so taking 12 and a half doesn’t include those transfers but nobody prolific is leaving
Right and that’s something you have to consider here I think the j-hawks don’t really care about this game I don’t think their fans really care about this game this is a hop skip and a jump right across you’re saying you you wouldn’t they should they should care about the
Guaranteed Rate bull they don’t you and I told you I told you before we started the show I’m going to follow you and and back every uh every wager this week that you recommend so I’m taking uh UNLV plus 11 and a half yeah okay good that’s
Tonight uh we’ve got a couple games for on on tap for Thursday which I’m intrigued by that include Cas stay I have a feeling I know where you’re playing that we’ll see maybe not not going to back the wild cats oh we’re going to talk about my
Horrible number I’ve got on the wild cats that’s for sure Bill binder joins us next we talk more college football with the sporting news National Rider next I feel like it depends on certain things but I feel like now it’s like a teammate like that should be your
Partner your teammate like I’m not cleaning all the house all the time cuz I’m not your mom I agree we’re dink double income no kids so I really like a part parip but I don’t want to take the trash out so he’s going to have to do
That she takes the kids I provide very traditional yes do you think that more young people should do that yes very much so what is it about like a motherly quality that you like worked for thousands of years and it still works today I like being girly I’m a girl and
I like being girly so I like traditional Tut girls okay well according to the seven hermetic principles one of those being the law of gender what you say gender manifest on all levels mental physical spiritual emot all ofel throughout the cosmos there’s gender I
Don’t know it’s a lie it’s a book I read called the Supreme way of of of men or women or something like that and it spoke on how whether it’s two women or two men there still has to be someone who’s masculine someone who’s feminine what would you spend on an
Engagement ring I’m not I’m not an engagement ring type of person I’m like but if she wanted a ring I probably spend like 20 on it 20 what th 20,000 that’s a lot of money get a real no for real ain’t it how much you make though price I didn’t really
Care size absolutely um had to had to be big enough it could be seen and I didn’t want like a basic ring I wanted like eclectic like vintage looking so we did a custom order to do my ring I didn’t have a preference I just had a gold
Preference and he kind of took it from there and you trusted him did he crush it oh yeah he crushed it I’ve been spoiled thus far and so I don’t think I could ever go back from what I received last time okay so high standards that’s good what are the
Standards okay it was it was five carats okay and it was um beautiful mine was way too expensive what’s way too expensive like $45,000 you probably went with a real diamond very much so yeah do you think that that’s kind of a flex for the guy
Like is the engagement ring yeah is the guy is the engagement ring only for the girl or do you get to watch other people look at your girl’s ring solely for the girl solely for the girl you don’t get any enjoyment couldn’t care less red flags and dating cuz obviously you found
Each other did you have any I that you overlooked or is he perfect no he’s perfect we had a nice night out at the bar fought over a toy shark and that’s how it all got started what don’t you like red flags uh cheating lying stuff
Like that yeah yeah what are you looking for in a woman honesty respect uh and love for herself some green flags are uh loyalty and trustworthy um red flags are seeking attention from other women uh jealousy probably biggest thing especially being around other girls all the time and having other
Girlfriends that would be the number one thing is jealousy red flag is they’re on their phone too much um green flag is they’re on their phone a lot with you well what look for loyalty uh that’s it I’m 24 so it’s hard to come across that like when you’re young so
That’s really all I look for really honestly what were deal breakers uh if she was broke I know that sound crazy but for real if she was broke cuz like it’s like yeah like I don’t like I don’t want to take care of a mother like I want to equal Sixth and pebody our location with eha beer and Old Smoky Moonshine glad you’re with us for hot M with h and with across the AL kick Network Kelly Stewart in for wiro this week we spent some time discussing Jim Harbaugh the contract that’s reportedly on the table 10 years
125 with the caveat that he can’t I referred to as flirt with the NFL I think it’s more than that though Kelly Bill Bender joins us from the sporting news with more on this and other discussion topics going into the college football playoff Bill great to have you
Back on the show man how are you hey I’m doing well thanks for having me on what do you make of the uh the report of the the the money here 10 years 125 combined with the assurance that Jim Harbaugh is not going to take a peak and hear out
Offers from the NFL as soon as the playoff is concluded so what you’re telling me is they’re going to tell Jim Harbaugh he can’t do something right and then he’s going to abide by that I I mean that’s the unpredictable Factor here and he’s an always unpredictable football coach the money makes sense
Michigan’s never had it this good since their 1997 National Championship season and the subsequent Seasons that followed that the last three years have been great three straight victories against Ohio State a third straight trip to the uh college football playoff and a chance against Alabama to really exercise some
Demons against the SEC and these Bull games and all of those things Michigan hasn’t won a Bull game against an SEC opponent like this I would argue since 2007 when they beat Urban Meyer in Florida and it wasn’t this big of a stage so I mean a lot of work there but
It to me it comes down to what NFL team’s going to want to flirt with Harbaugh and is he going to flirt back and can can you tell a Coach of his unpredict ability not to do something it would be real tough what does this offer look like if Michigan wins the title
Bill I mean same MoneyWise maybe they take that off the some of those es add some more escalators to the contract and tell him okay well you can flirt with the NFL but the money’s still there and give him more bonuses remember this is a coach that took a pay cut after the
Covid 2020 season when Michigan look went two and four didn’t play the Ohio State game and was generally miserable on the field That season took a pay cut the savior of the program took a pay cut and I don’t think he’s forgotten that deep down inside so I’m not so sure what
The money is the factor it really comes down to what Jim Harbaugh wants and he’s probably the only person for sure that may or may not know that answer do you think do just if you’re just wagering what he does do you think he wants to go
Back to the NFL and if so even if he chooses to stay at Michigan does he just wait to sign this extension until after the hiring season of what the NFL is going to look like oh I think he still wants to take a peak for sure and part
Of that the dead giveaway is interviewed with Minnesota and and the Vikings were not a good fit not for Jim Harbaugh not for what he does that they would be not even a top three fit then and one of those fits that fits Jim Harbaugh is the Chargers you know great
Quarterback West Coast he played there a chance for him to go there and maybe leave Michigan on somewhat good terms if he wanted to because I don’t think many Michigan fans will be angry at Jim Harbaugh for leaving not after the season he just had with two separate
Suspensions and a battle with the NCA that isn’t quite finished and like I said accomplished what they’ve accomplished on the field the three straight wins they have the second or third best record in college football behind Georgia and Alabama in that stretch and now it really comes down to
Whether or not they can go out and beat an Alabama on the field Bill I’m tired of talking about the big 10 but we’re going to stay in that realm right now what’s going on with L FSU do you think they’re headed to the Big 10 I don’t
Think it’s the right fit but we’ve heard the SEC say h we’re okay for right now well I I I guess I’m Mr Big 10 being in Columbus and being around the conference and I’ll push back a little bit I think it would be a good fit for the Big 10 to
Go after them I I mean geographically rivalries all those things yes the SEC is a better fit for Florida State but for the Big 10 in terms of what they’re trying to accomplish and they already have a West Wing they could go get Florida if I was the Big 10 and Florida
State somehow gets out of this ACC grant of rights deal and has a chance to go to a conference I pitch them hard and I try to get Notre Dame with them then I have the two Best Brands outside the Big 10 in the SEC I like the Notre Dame uh suggestion
That makes a lot more sense I mean I know geographically the Big 10 is now all across the country so that’s not what really is my thought process it was more the style of play from Florida State it’s more of the culture it doesn’t seem to quite fit and I’ve
Always heard that it was going to be a maybe a a pair deal right with Clemson in Florida state but I like the uh the Notre Dame fit there better do you think they can go and get a Notre Dame well it would depend on what happens again with
This Grand of Rights deal and the AC and I’ll be the first to admit I don’t want the ACC to collapse I I don’t think it’s healthy for the sport when a conference collapses like the Pack 12 did last year no matter how we try to justify it in
Big 10 country it is going to feel weird staying up late at night and watching Wisconsin at Oregon or Michigan and UCLA in the middle of the day at a noon kickoff it it will feel strange if it’s not September a and from your point Clemson and Florida State would just fit
Very well in the SEC you’d have Clemson South Carolina you’d have Florida Florida state Florida State in particular is the best brand from a national championship standpoint they’ve won three since 1993 who wouldn’t want that brand even if it comes with some of the things uh obviously with how loud
And how blustery they’ve been with this fight with the ACC so far Bill Bender Our Guest the sporting news is where you can find his great work uh any particular matchup that you’re looking forward to seeing this week as bowl games one of the like 400 that we have
During bowl season over the next couple of weeks uh is there a game that really you’re dialed into based on the fact that it it’s tough to keep up with the transfer portal who’s playing who’s not you mentioned Florida State romaker he’s hitting the portal like that this all
Affects the the product on the field which game in your mind is the most competitive regardless of what’s gone on over the last couple of weeks well in those New Year’s Day six games I am intrigued to watch Ohio State in Missouri because it means two different
Things to do two different programs for Ohio State they’re going to give Devin Brown an audition after the Kyle McCord transfer for Missouri it’s a huge step uh for Eli drinkwitz for that offense for shider the All-American running back and if they could go score a win against
Ohio State Eli could really build on that going into 2024 I’m intrigued by Florida state Georgia just from the standpoint Florida State’s missing a lot of guys which I did not expect after after them finishing undefeated getting snub from the playoff because I was making for
Those of us who remember the 90s for example and old men like me uh I was thinking if Florida State could beat Georgia what were the odds that they would claim a national title and how many people would actually vote for them if they did but I don’t know that that’s
A feasible case right now well especially given the fact that you you hear that uh norvell’s trying to get the morale they’re still in that hangover from not getting the playoff and then you have the transfers and other things like this to me this is lining up for a
Very poor show against Georgia and I think that’s what they want don’t you think I mean it’s almost like a okay fine we didn’t get to be there so we don’t care it’s like I’m gonna take my Xbox and I’m GNA go home yeah no that’s
A that’s a great point that that’s an absolutely I haven’t even thought of it that way that it’s like ah we won’t even take this bull seriously we’ll let Georgia beat us but we were still wronged we feel wronged and and all of those things now for Georgia I think
It’s quite the opposite you know how I know you guys know that the SEC has this reputation of maybe taking a Bull game off when they get in a consolation situation I think it’s the other way around I think Kirby’s goingon to have these guys ready to go it’ll be a very
Opposite of that 2019 sugar bow lost to Texas I think they’re coming out and they’re going to look really good in this game if you’re ranking Bill the the teams that you are most confident in in winning the title where is Alabama on that list one just because I mean one
Like been making the jokes with other writers like what is your lead going to be when Alabama wins another National Championship I’ve wrote like five of these over the years I got to come up with something fresh um they’re they’re the favorite in my opinion which is so
Weird because of the path they they’ve taken and nobody really expected them to beat Georgia nobody absolutely thought that was a national championship team when they played South Florida after the Texas game but the development of jayen milroe the talent that they have on both
Sides of the ball you know I think the Michigan game is going to be really fun and Michigan absolutely has a chance to beat them but for me and again it’s partially living in Big 10 country I’ll believe it when I see it that Michigan goes out there and beats an SEC
Powerhouse now the fact that the line hasn’t moved much suggest that actually could happen but again I’ll have to see it bill I gotta know so you live in Columbus did you go to Ohio state is there maybe a little bit of Michigan hatred there in your voice because I am
On the opposite side here I would agree that Alabama progressed better than any other team in college football this year but defenses win championships and we have a Michigan defense that is got several NFL players on it that is in my opinion the best defensive front now
With Florida State out in the college football playoff no well I went to Ohio University so I’m a ma a action kid and I you know they they started off bull season with a win even though their quarterback was in the transfer portal I was very excited about that but you you
Rais a great point because Michigan’s interior defense is really good uh Mason Graham Kenneth Grant Chris Jenkins they’re pretty good on that side of the ball but what I want to see in this game from either side is which team can generate a running game you know Alabama struggled with that and Michigan
Struggled with that against Iowa in the Big 10 championship game without Blake corm I think that’s one thing to watch and then if Michigan wins this game the story everybody’s going to be writing the next day and into that night is that JJ marthy made the big throws increased
His draft stock does he go down as the greatest Michigan quarterback ever it’s a JJ McCarthy game here who or which program was the biggest surprise for you in in Signing Day the transfer portal all of it well I mean the rich got richer as usual right
Georgia and Alabama and oh always at the top yeah yeah I mean that’s that’s not surprising at all that’s like me having my wife tell me to take the trash out or that I forgot to take the trash out I’m sorry yeah that’s expected behavior um
That I messed up uh you know but uh no I I think it’s definitely there were some good surprises I thought Syracuse was a surprise honestly because Fran Brown a Georgia assistant got a couple four-star kids from Georgia he already got Kyle McCord in the portal I know they looked
Awful in the Bull game and they did they looked terrible but I think Fran Brown has a plan there and being a jersey guy and that Georgia experience he’s going to do our right we’re going to hear a lot this offseason about Old Miss aren’t
We I mean that the the the expansion to 12 teams in the playoff what they’ve done in the portal yet again uh kein and all the buzz that he already and always creates and the fact that their schedule lines up much like it did not this past
Season but the year prior where we could see them seven or eight no before they really hit a stretch and it’s not a difficult stretch on the new uh scheduling in the SEC where the rebels will be a a talk of college football and and an expectation for ke and actually be in
A playoff that is expanded well it’s so fitting that they’re playing Penn State because up here we have the same conversations about them I mean two 10- win teams two coaches that that have that big game reputation follow them around I mean Penn State had an awesome
Year they just lost to Michigan and Ohio State again and and James Franklin has those same conversations about him all the time the way Old Miss has work the portal the way that he has that offense running it’s an very interesting Chick-fil-A peach bow to me because I
Think Penn State’s got a pretty good defense and it’ll be fun to watch but yeah they’ll be an IT team this off season and I want to point out that had we had a 12 team playoff the last three years old Miss and Penn State would be
In that last 4 in discussion they they would be regulars on some we do those coaches way differently I totally agree Jim would have five yeah Franklin would have five playoff appearances yeah there you go again like that the line of success is it’s it’s high for a lot of
Programs it’s more vastly more reachable now for some very average coaches agree it’s a lot like I use the basketball analogy when a coach has a somewhat rough year in the ACC or the SEC or Big 10 but they pile up those sweet 16 appearances that’s all you see you know
That guy went to the Sweet 16 it’s the same analogy will be Mak him when this thing goes to 12 I’m excited about it but I’ll say this about this year’s 14 ple it’s the first time I don’t know maybe ever but a rare time where I feel like I can make a
Legitimate case for all four teams to win this thing and actually believe it I mean in the past I didn’t believe Cincinnati could win it but Washington they’ve got some guys on the outside they’re going to be fun it’ll be interesting to see if they can hold up
Between the trenches Kelly’s on board with that too yes I am actually I was get getting ready to ask Bill what he thought about that game I feel like we haven’t talked about everybody wants to talk Alabama Michigan that is in their dream scenario the national championship
And then you have Texas who beat bam like yeah you’re right uh Bill b you can catch his work the sporting news Bill uh always great to catch up with you man thank you for joining us today and uh happy holidays hey no problem happy holidays to you guys thanks so much for
Having me on there you go Bill Bender there uh you agree with a lot of what he said just based on opinion that I’ve heard from you you’re right about Texas and Washington and the expectation is that that game is already predetermined that Texas is winning but how that’s
What I guess I don’t understand and and I know that everybody’s going to say well it’s cuz you hate Texas I don’t hate Texas again that’s always but that’s been the stigma because I went to Kansas State and I love to bet against them well Texas and Oklahoma ahead of
Many programs in the SEC in recruiting they’re going to be right there in the thick of it and what about the storyline of well Arch Manning all of a sudden is the backup quarterback going into the playoff in a season where they’re headed into the SEC see it’s pretty great for
The Longhorns and for Wasington for that matter stay tuned what you’re experiencing is the Bold Taste of a southern Legend Old Smoky Moonshine and whiskey authentic Tennessee Mountain style Spirits we believe in crafting flavors of were born from tradition but defy expectation and pioneering a new experience with every

Graduate we live in a Land of participation trophies you got to lean into the turns you really got to lean into the turns when Leah Thomas walked in that first day it got silent and every girl was uncomfortable very difficult to go backto back years in the NFL with the
Number one overall pick is it fair for people to be upset with Barbie I’ve been out of La long enough to have forgotten that Libs no matter how ridiculous a scenario are going to live another week of inflation another week with Biden with Co and another set of
Losers to Crown people don’t watch the WNBA on TV in person on a plane on a train on a bus or on purpose I mean what have you seen firsthand of how this has affected you in the plant and your fellow employees under Joe Biden the Taliban has retaken Afghanistan Putin
Has invaded Ukraine so if there was ever a time for freaking aliens to inhabit and Conquer Earth now would be that time we’ve seen coaches throw water bottles we’ve seen coaches act like idiots we’ve seen coaches slap other coaches but I think if you’re involved in carjacking you’re inherently a rotten

Cheated I made the call to end the me too movement and today I’m going to continue making that case that’s just a way to further taunt these women to make them feel less than to make them realize that this this has just become a big joke Deion Sanders is the Donald Trump of
Football we were directly impacted by the whole Leah Thomas thing and we were able to see you guys on the ground with your signs supporting that was huge they were saying oh it’s only one or two that’s rubbish and we all know that’s rubbish once those trans identifying
Males were able to succeed it just encouraged Others Old Smokey Moonshine and wh old Taste Of Well the transfer portal doing more than just taking hopes and dreams away from college football fans on the field hot Mike with h Withrow rolls on across the out kick Network Kelly Stewart in for wiro this week um so Kyle Johnson goes to Florida class of
23 Gator Gator for Life uh in fact the first time I met you Kelly we were at a was it the cocktail party it was the cocktail party okay well so Trevor etn in cocktail party fashion goes from Florida to Georgia in the portal uh Kyle Johnson Florida fan his girlfriend for
Christmas got him prior to any news about the transfer portal a Trevor etn jersey number seven and gifted it to him on Christmas not knowing that etn was now at Georgia making that official um what do you the the idea that you know enough and I’m not trying
To fault the gift here you know enough about your boyfriend’s fom okay and the player that he apparently loves because this gift would have been awesome if not for the fact that he’s now playing for Georgia of all teams by the way that of all teams of all teams of all teams and
You you know enough to still gift it to him after I’m I’m guessing he would have said something about etn leaving for Georgia if you know enough about him to get him that Jersey to begin with you got to pull the gift you got to go gift
Card route at that point and you have to then show why you went gift card route don’t you I mean are you allowed to return that Jersey I I mean the return I mean I I hope so but the idea that you know you open the gift
And it’s like the greatest thing ever for you know some college kid and all of a sudden it’s it’s not it’s hilarious but if you’re if you know enough to get the gift don’t you have to know that said Jersey is it relevant now maybe
Maybe maybe she got it after the fact it was on sale maybe that’s what she thought she thought she got like a Ste and then said that she got it before now that’s true uh putting your mind behind you saving some money and making wouldn’t you li too even if you
Let’s say you let’s just say that you did know she didn’t know I I’m sorry she didn’t know she’s lying and being like this this happened after I bought it before because you’re right you would absolutely pull the gift and return it I mean the dude in the photo Kyle he is in
He’s in Gator he’s like a he’s in like a Gator’s onesie yeah pajamas because I’m actually like trying to look at his because you can somebody tagged him on Twitter I I was trying to see if he actually tweeted about it had a meltdown about it uh I I don’t see anything from
Him like that’s dictating that he was like super upset about it yeah uh but I don’t know how else I say this I okay we did the we talked about gifts last week Chad and I about the guy putting the pajamas in the oven and I said no that guy that guy’s playing
Chess not Checkers he’s trying to prove a point here that she doesn’t cook enough and he just about lost it I I’m gon to go other misogynist side of me and go and guess that she just doesn’t know enough about college football and also In fairness the transfer portal is
So out of control yeah I have to go on multiple websites to confirm sources I mean we’re talking what’s there 1,400 kids at one point in time in the transfer portal uh more than that at one point but more than that to know you know the gator are his favorite team you
Know this running back is his and he would have said if you know it’s his favorite player you would have known that he was no longer on the gator roster maybe being around him maybe we’re we’re talking about a a woman that probably just graduated college or is
Still in college do you watch do you go to Gator Games you should go because it is it’s a fashion contest these girls don’t care about football yeah the guys are wearing jean shorts yeah of course it’s Florida yeah it’s Gainesville my dad lives 20 minutes from there I have
Never seen I’m from Kansas and I’ve never seen more Hillbillies in my life look at Kyle yes Kyle’s got a mullet he’s got a mustache I’m I’m don’t you I truly believe like he’s wearing the same his girlfriend would be wearing pajamas like this God I hope not we don’t really
Far too many photos like that by people don’t do that do they really oh I social media was fire with this stuff WR I made my boyfriend wear a reindeer onesie to our pub crawl on Friday but that was just to be obnoxious about the people that make people where the matching well
That was a theme you know you’re going out and uh yeah it’s a party right yeah in this case so everybody was dressed up it’s the group like the the family photo where there far too many friends that I see no are are in these like pajamas
Where like I’m looking at them going there is no no way he’s enjoying this right now yeah well what are you getting in return for the said photo I I don’t I mean apparently a Florida Jersey of Trevor etn and that’s I mean hopefully she has a receipt hopefully she kept the
Tags on and he can just exchange it right for what though now uh it’s going to be a rough year again in the swamp we’re just going to leave it at that I I do feel bad for Gator fans right now starting January 3rd the only place to catch out kicks original
And fearless shows live is going to be on our website outkick.com you’ll be able to catch up on YouTube but for all of the live unfiltered yes unfiltered content head over to the watch tab click the watch tab at outkick.com you will not miss a beat outkick.com slatch your
Onstop shop for all things outkick um Patrick Mahomes he was fined for talking bad about the officiating postgame uh what last week this week it’s Michael Parsons who’s going off on the officials on the media coverage uh and the the lack of accountability on the lack of holding
Calls in the Dallas loss to Miami this ties in a bit to the the roughing the passer issue uh on on Dak in this game but where the and Kelly showed me the video she was referring to where guy puts his hands up but he’s like I think
It’s the defensive end for the Dolphins the entire weight of the player is is on Dak of course but Dak also pulls him down right on top of him knowing he’s going to get the call yes uh it’s like almost as bad as a flop it
But the well I agree there are a lot of flops on both sides the Flop though in reality are the officials this year I mean it’s just they’re in a bad spot because the the league wants them to make a an independent call in many cases some these plays are not reviewable
Because the league also wants the game to be done between 3 hours and 7 minutes and 3 hours and 15 minutes and so they’re not going to add a lot of review they contemplated making roughing the pure reviewable and chose not to this offseason they’ve got to figure this out
But beyond that uh Parsons you said this earlier Kell you’re right you can call holding on every play Parsons is absolutely being held more times than not because they’re accounting for him with two players that alone would tell me with his ability to to make the plays
That he’s doing on a a dominant fashion that he’s still doing all that and the plays where he’s not making it a point to run down the play or get to the quarterback because he’s playing just one position now which is great for him uh yeah he’s being held he is I would
Hold him too what I don’t understand is why what did he say that was untrue that would require a fine and how does the NFL decide who they’re going to find because we’re about to go right back to where we were about six seven years ago
I’m just here so I don’t get fined because that these guys are not going to be able to say what they really feel but I think that’s part of the game that passion uh whether you agree with Patrick Mahomes losing his mind and being on Sportsman like in front of Josh
Allen or not that show it showed me he had a lot of passion and he was fired up and he’s pissed off totally agree uh they shouldn’t find him um the player the co coach you’re right I mean they they refuse to answer direct questions about certain calls for because they
Know they’re they’re going to be fined right um Mahomes was fed $50,000 and the league has a long-standing rule of prohibiting public criticism for referees there’s no accountability in that department and you very rarely see the most recognizable player in the league in momes or any any era go out of his way
To call out the officiating in in which case by the way he was lined up in the neutral zone They he could come back on it and say Hey you know looking back on it I shouldn’t have gone in as hard as I did still fine and that’s fair he he he
Admitted hey I was wrong once you saw the play because we all saw it on TV we knew he was lined up wrong but from maybe where Mahomes is you know behind the center didn’t see that well I W see I watch I think his his beef though is
Momes is and and he’s right in both sides are right here they he was in the neutral zone the flag was was accurate like they’ve got that call right but they do warn the offensive players they do like give you a warning even if it’s not like right after the
Play again they’ll come back to the sideline defense is about to go out or the Special Teams unit and the official the side judge will come over and say hey uh or the line Judge Too hey watch the watch the neutral zone there they’re not doing that for the defense line if
You’re lined up in the neutral zone mahomes’s beef was this has happened and occurred and I saw the four different times that he lined up in the neutral zone through the game they called it on that one play with a minute and a half left and they go on to lose again that
Goes back to consistency I was on the receiving end of that call so I would never complain about it out um and because you got to take the good with the bad because I’ve been on plenty of other uh losing bad calls or good calls uh from the zebras myself I the league
Doesn’t listen to the players in this regard though why because they they’re going to say that they’re they’re protecting the player from injury and other things like the roughing the passer or the the officiating they they want the appearance the they want the perception uh that The League is on the
Up and up and they have the best officials in Pro Sports and I think the officials get a they get a bad rap they do because I do think they’re very good compared to the level beneath them uh which you know college um but I don’t think that it’s
As it’s as um consistent crew to crew and that’s where the issue is or week to week with the same crew that that’s the issue I’ll say this and the NBA we were talking about the NBA and how we all stopped there was a point when I worked
For NBA TV that all I would do was look at the data from the different sets of officials and you were not picking out cherry picking data points right it is apparent that when Scott Foster is officiating a Chris Paul game this is how the result is I actually maybe might
Start doing that with some of these Crews maybe it’s a Monday night football crew I I don’t have the time to do all of it but I would you’re going to be able to find patterns and then that’s where there’s going to be problems that arise is when this specific person
Doesn’t call the roughing the passer against ex quarterback ever y but he does against quarterback y all the time and when you start finding those inconsistencies that’s when you’re going to get people fired up I do I I do also look at the you mentioned fines like the
Defensive player is being fined at a much higher rate than offense because the the rules are stacked against them and in which case you know the Parson that’s literally what Parson said Parson well and it’s it’s been that way but Brady’s even publicly saying that it’s ridiculous that you know your your
Quarterback is throwing into the and the player actually makes a football play but Tom is the reason why we’ve gotten here in my opinion but well but he was only injured for one year they wanted to protect those guys and now you have all of the rules stacked in the offense’s
Favor to protect the quarterback and how many quarterbacks are injured right now a lot a lot over half over half the starting quarterbacks and then it’s got to be 15 right 15 16 at some point this year it’s more than that if you count just guys that have been back now into
The lineup but when Parsons and say my intent was to punish the quarter the official said my intent was to punish the quarterback on the roughing the passer but how am I trying to punish him if I’m just trying to sack him it’s not a late hit I didn’t leave my feet I
Didn’t leave with my head I don’t know how you make that call you don’t well but the right but they are because I they’re deliberately being told to and that’s what’s wrong with it they feel like if they don’t make that call that’s when the actual heavy hand will come
Down on the official not if they make it they’re going to protect the official if it’s a egregious call that is over the top or over the line it’s just a football play you can’t leave your feet you can’t you know leave with your helmet you can’t helmet to helmet all of
The rules are stacked against the defense and when you just make a football play they’re still being penalized for it it’s hurting their team that’s that’s where we are in the league and I think the officials aren’t necessarily the ones to blame it’s this is if they wanted to change it from the
League office they absolutely would and we’ve seen it time and time again they make adjustments as the season progresses if they don’t like certain things um you know what’s what’s a catch what is have we figured out what a catch is cuz I still sometimes don’t know it’s far
More easier now than roughing the passer I okay I would agree with that from what what game was that the Packers game when it was Packers Dallas was it a catch was it not a catch what was that 10 years ago 12 years ago yeah at least they figured that out somewhat somewhat
And now it’s you know his his hand grazed the face mask didn’t grab it grazed it that’s that’s unnecessary roughness 10 yard penalty back at it to tomorrow 3:00 Eastern enjoy the bowl games back UNLV H out with Hut and with tomorrow 3 Eastern

Kelce didn't fumble or throw interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. He made a few catches. He can still play, so he shouldn't retire.
Eagles are one and done, doesn’t matter who they play.
Woman Weaken Legs.
I could of sworn Kelce played TE.
These dumb narratives that people make ip to get clicks
KC is loaded down with distractions. State Farm, Subway, Covid vaccine crap, Taylor Swift crap, they've lost track of actually playing football, like they are paid to do.
Maybe it's time for Andy and the silly offensive play calling to retire, they have run the same crap week after week,
Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes may be the 2 most annoying women on the planet.? Is it really any secret as to why this vax-pushing team is falling apart at the seams?
He should, he’s got his retirement plans set up with Pfizer already
