Plus, the guys talk shop on the College Football Playoffs seedings and how they were seeded, Arnie makes his picks yet again, and so much more!!

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

And let's go stick a genius's boy. Let's go on a Sunday night into a Monday morning. We've got Week fourteen of the NFL season to recap. We got a great game that's ongoing as we speak. The Chargers have just retaken a lead, as you heard Steve de Segre tell you, seventeen sixteen Los Angeles with four thirty five to go in the game. We've got college football playoff action ready. Let's roll, but Arnie, as we come to you live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyrack dot com will help you get there at unmatched the selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tyreck dot com the way tire buying should be Wan Soto. Hey, now that for your Mets.

Wow, that isn't can what it was like about a half hour a go, this story broke and I saw it coming across on Twitter, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't getting duped. And I had to wait till like there was four other reports that had it done fifteen years set what at seven hundred and sixty five million Earth? What the SA said, that's a lot of money. Look, I like having him on the team that let's not lie about that. But there's no way he's worth that type of money even if he hits what forty home runs one hundred and twenty RBIs one hundred and twenty five RBIs and Bat's two ninety. Is that worth fifty million in one year to a seven hundred and sixty five million That that's insane. I just I don't know where the money's coming from. Chris. I was told that eggs are expensive, and people can't afford stuff, and millennials can't get homes, and where's all the money coming from to afford these contracts? I don't understand.

Rich owners. I mean, is it that hard to understand?

What?

Are are you okay over there?

I mean, I know you've got Hollywood on your mind, but you're really confused as to where this money is coming from. In Major League Baseball right now, it's Steve co It's he's decided that he's gonna buy everybody, and I guess there's unlimited funds on that front for Steve Cohen, and he's he's gonna do it. I mean, I don't if you're are you how about this? Let me let me just post this because I don't want to get bogged down on baseball talk tonight. It's week fourteen in the ENNA, right, and we got to college football playoffs. You don't really, right, but and I guess maybe you could claim your nicks are great because they might win the playing tournament whatever. But by the way, this deal has escalators in it that could reach over eight hundred million dollars. Eight hundred million dollars. Aren't he spani your from a major league baseball player? Does he make your team better? Of course he makes the team. Why are you complaining about it?

I'm just saying, you know, because I was also talking about this as a referred to college football in the NIL, like my Arizona Wildcats can never compete against your Oklahoma's the Michigan's schools like that that they're gonna get billionaires to fork over the money. How come every team didn't bid on Juan Soto? Real simple, only three teams can afford them. That's really the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets. Why could only three teams afford him?

Everyone could have done it, Everyone could have been on them. They just wouldn't been able to reach the number that he wanted, and the Mets would have bid.

Him right well, because they can't afford these other teams, can't afford what the other three teams can out there. That's that's my whole point. They just can't bring in that type of money. It's just impossible. So it's it's the rich get richer, and the rest of them just stay the same. We'll see what happens.

So you don't think if the uh, if the Pittsburgh Pirates decided they were gonna pull their resources, you don't think they could come up.

With an offer near this for Juan Sota. You don't think they know?

I don't think.

No.

I don't think they have the seven like the A's do they are they gonna playing?

To be honest with you, I mean i'd have to google that up real quick right now.

Yeah, I mean, it's seven hundred and sixty five million even in the roma possibility for so some of these teams. I don't think so, Chris, I.

Don't know what's happening to you and your old age any.

Wow, I'm getting time with my team, right, I'll just be happy about.

I'm actually I'm kind of impressed right now. They sign with your team.

I expect you to be like, take that pores, you want to complain, make more money. This is a little different side of the I'm very impressed right now.

No offense. I'm gonna be like the person that got a job because my dad hooked me up. I know I got a favor or no offense, but you know, I know where the you know favor came from.

So I go.

We got Sodery's going to help the team. That's all that matters. But that's a lot of a lot of money. I wonder how much that's going to increase ticket prices, food prices, all that stuff.

Yeah, it's probably not at all.

I mean, how much more expensive can it get at a New York Mets game right now?

I mean, what all you do?

Yeah, I like a hot dog in a beer. It's like, you got your kid with you, We'll just take your kid. I mean, it's already expensive enough to go to these games, right So I.

Already wrote I wrote a tweet to our bosses right now that I'm going to need time off when the Knicks win the championship for the parade. Now I'm gonna need time off in October when the Nets win the World Series. I need a lot of time off coming up.

We have three minutes and twenty seconds to go in the Sunday night football game between the Chiefs and the Chargers. Chiefs moving the ball down the field. They trail seventeen to sixteen. So we've seen this story before. Chiefs kick a field goal with like three seconds left to win the game, even though they played kind of crappily throughout. So I don't I mean, is there anything more to add to this Sunday night football game. Haven't we seen this before? Don't we know this ends?

We've seen this before, except for the fact that I need the Chiefs to win, which means I'll put the reverse curse on them and they'll end up losing the game because the Dolphins. As a Dolphins fan, I need the Chargers to lose. It's still gonna be tough for my Dophins to get into the playoffs, So I need the Chargers to lose.

Okay, here's a question.

I mean, I'm being dead serious here, because let's have a little talk about Roman numeral number eleven.

Which is a great Roman numeral eleven.

Yeah, which is a great lesson in stop sending the rundown early. Stop. That was a mistake. That was I mean, I beg you on this.

Our show starts at eleven o'clock Eastern, ten o'clock Central time.

My mind is always moving. I'm writing things down even moments. So we go in the air.

I sent them four o'clock East.

Four o'clock six seven, seven hours before we go on the air.

Seven. And you say, I'm done with the Dolphins. I'm tired of them.

I can't lost to the Jets twenty six, twenty three. I can't take it anymore.

Yeah, and now you're wanting to stump for them to get in the playoffs.

Well, I did text you later and said, disregard what I wrote on Roman numeral eleven.

Well, can we just come up with an agreement just to make this deal? Patrick, Yourrott producer, Mary, you run the show, the producer of the show.

Okay, stop sending the rundown before hours before the show.

I sent that in haste. I was mad before sometimes No, I was mad because the Dolphins look like they were gonna lose and the season was gonna be over. I wrote that it's like when you fight with your wife, and don't you ever say something that you regret that you'll never let you forget about it. I might have said something I regret.

I don't know how, asking you not to send the rundown early so there's not scratches. And I'm trying to read through your terrible handwriting already, man to read the square again.

I crossed that in part the part that I said I can't take it anymore and that we lost to the just twenty six twenty three. Disregard that part, and then I start. I wrote wins it overtime exclamation point, and then I wrote twenty six percent to make the playoffs, though that's not true. They only they only have a thirteen percent yet, Yeah.

Mike, what are you doing? And also in that do you really want them to make the playoffs?

Yes, I'm a Dolphin fan. You knuckle ahead, of course.

Though are you gonna win? Are you gonna win?

Are you going to the Super Bowl? Are you going to the AFC Championship game? Are you gonna win a playoff game?

No?

Wait, wait, let me answer that.

Yeah, yeah you're not, so why don't you just no? I'm trying to reset your expectations because you have to do yourself.

Because you because there's no quarterback playing better than Tua in all of the NFL questions.

They almost lost to the Jets today. Let's go ahead and high five on that. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers hor Aaron Rodgers has looked terrible all year, and suddenly everyone's having elite tweets because your defense is so bad.

They made him look like a Hall of Famer again.

Today was barely three hundred passing yards by Aaron Rodger.

You really think that defense?

I mean, the Texans would probably put seventy on you guys right now.

So you played up next week?

Why don't you just accept that you're not good. No, get another defensive end, an edge guy in the draft, maybe a linebacker, maybe a corner.

You know what they think about like that? No, no, no.

No, you're the You're worse than guys.

They say, Hey, my team's got to get better because you're gonna sit here and tell us how great they are. You're gonna lose in the first round and they're going to continue to tell us how great they are when nothing changes.

I need to make the playoffs. I'd rather make the playoffs then get a high draft pick. It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved it.

Yeah, and that.

You don't say stuff you don't really mean on National Talk Era.

It just absolutely cuts him off, right, and that.

What happened is that they cut me. You that's because she cuts me off on purpose.

I'm sure that I don't blame you for it's better.

It's better or you heard.

Yeah, I heard that, and then you cut off when you kept starting. No, you don't feel that way, because then you're gonna come in that way. No, you don't, because then you're gonna come in here because if yours Oh, I just want to get the playoffs. When you lose the playoffs, you'll be like, well I got a fire mcdan. You'll look at the chemistry professor over there, and they got to trade chemistry to chemistry to do right.

You don't think you have a good football team or a good coach.

I do think we have a good football team, at least offensively. It's just defensively.

Okay, didn't hold on pull back just a second.

I thought, I don't don't think we have a bad football team, at least offensively. A team is everybody. Okay, you don't have a good team. You have a good offense, you're not good on defense. I don't even know if you're good at special teams, which are kind of important too. You have a good offense, So what do you Why are you doing this to yourself and then to us? You won thirty two to twenty six over a team that is now three and ten today, and you have to scratch and clawed and fight to do it at home.

We never win games like that anymore. That's the first turning. Baby, they're back. They win a game like that against the bad Jets team. That's right, We're gonna win the rest of the season. We're not gonna lose a game the rest of the year. I told you that last week.

You told me that last week.

Yeah, I said, we won't lose.

I feel like Arnie, you tell us that after every single game. I do not every game they lose, Like, well, they're just not gonna lose again the rest of the year.

I think you're a little mad that they came back to beat the Jets. I think you wanted them to lose to the Jets.

No, no, no, I'm actually ecstatic they came back to beat the Jets because I'm small hard enough to know my team sucks and we're not going anywhere. So I needed the Jets to win so the Raiders can maintain that spot in the top two. See, the Jaguars were dumb enough to go win a game today over the Titans.

Let me tell you, if we put up thirty two points every game, we won't lose.

Yeah, you will, absolutely you would because your defense can't say you just gave up twenty six to the Jets, aren'tye who have mass too?

So remember we held them.

Those not count?

What the field goals, that's right, Yeah, they count obviously.

Okay, there's still points that you're giving up. Quit. I feel like you've become.

You know now. I want to make the playoffs and win and go to the AFC Championship Phase game, just to go ahead and face you. You know that, don't you now, face me and Idea and everybody else that's that's going give it to them play give it to them, dophins. No, we'll see now. Now, now we'll see how right you are.

Well, how about this, I'll cut my arm off if the Miami Dolphins playing the AFC championship game. How's that if your Dolphins win, I will Mary can bring the saw to Oklahoma. Patrick can have the video and we'll cut my arm off live onto the air.

How's gonna make sure it's gonna be a rusty saw?

Then?

Yeah, that's right, I'll take care of that well in football games and actually matter today, what do we make of what happened between the Bills and the Rams?

Right?

Everyone had just kind of went ahead and elevated the Bills to this next level, and they deserve it. There's still a really good football team. And you know, we'll see what happens here at the end of this Chargers Chiefs. One of my saying, we'll see what happens. The Chiefs are going to get a field goal five seconds left to win the game. The Bills lose. The Bills lose today, and their their defense speaking of struggling defense.

Yeah, I was about to say, you're still thinking that the Bills could be a AFC championship team. Mark a team that go to the Super Bowl. But yet their defense is Bobby equivalent to Miami's. But their offense is probably a better a lot better.

So is everything Now that we talk about going to be equated to something about the Dolphins.

No, but I mean, you know, you don't say thing about how bad the Bills defense is.

I just did good.

I just did I did their defense forty four forty four to the Rams. That's embarrassing, right, and lose the football game. So you know again, I we're in Week fourteen. We've got for most teams three games to go, right handful still have four to go. It's just I mean, all right, sorry, most teams have four to go, A few teams have three, but as it stands right now, they've already.

Won their division.

Now you I guess the only thing is with Pittsburgh winning and the Bills losing, kind of puts you a little bit tighter on that two seed overall. Now, I'm not someone that's looking to playoff seatings, but I'll look here, all right, they still have the tiebreaker because of a strength of victory according to Buffalo, so they're still in a good spot. But you'll lose a game like that to a Rams team that I mean, let's face it, they're seven and six football team. You lost to a five hundred football team at home. To me, i'd rate to some red flags. If I'm a Bills fan right.

Now, does it? Because I mean, they've played better?

Was it? They played well?

It was a great football game, right, It wasn't like they should be embarrassed or anything to that effect.

And shouldn't it make you feel worse though, if you play well and you still lose.

Well, it was on the road. It's always tough to win on the road. And by the way, the Ray you said the Rams are a five hundred team, but they started one in four, right, So I mean, aren't they a little bit better right now than a five hundred team the way they've been playing. No, they had won three out of their last four now three and one.

Who are those wins?

The Bills win is really their only impressive winning that stretch.

If you want to back up before then they beat them.

Well, if you want to go back, they beat the Vikings and the Seahawks.

Yeah, those are pretty good wins also.

But then somehow they lost to the Dolphins, which would be reason. It just absolutely enclosure franchise. As far as I'm concerned, they got smoked by the Eagles, who look very human right now.

I don't know.

I'm just if you're gonna try to tell me that you're okay with the Bills because you think the Rams are a good team. I'm not gonna fight you, but I will say if you're gonna tell me that the Bills played great and still lost, that's a problem in mind only reason, actually, when you give up forty four.

The only reason I'm okay with the Bills is because I think it's so top heavy in the AFC. I don't even believe in Pittsburgh, to be honest with you. I think it's Kansas City, Buffalo and everybody else. The Chargers do scare me if they get on a run, but nobody else really scares me in the AFC, And in the NFC, it's like Detroit, Philadelphia and who else. Maybe Minnesota if they get on a run. But otherwise, I don't feel like there's too many teams that are gonna make a run at this thing.

All right, We're coming to your live from the Tirack dot com studios. When we come back, we'll start rolling through some of the college football playoff news. Because the field is set, they're at the two minute warning. They're at the two minute warning. Real, let's watch this play. The Chiefs are facing a third in seven seventeen sixteen, the Chargers lead this What do they have that on Arnie the twenty yard line?

I'm like a good twenty seconds before.

They're at the twenty yard line on a third and seven.

If the Chiefs pick this up, they can basically run the clock out and they'll get a first down.

So there you go.

Of course, the Chiefs pick up a first down at the twelve yard line, so trailing seventeen to sixteen, the Chargers are out of timeouts. The Chiefs can kneel this down and do exactly what we said, which is kick a game when you feel good. About two seconds left in the game. Seen this play before. We'll recap it when we come back with Arnie and Plank on Fox Sports Radio.

Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live.

Told you, I told you exactly what's gonna happen, Arnie. I think everybody knew course to watch the NFL.

It's just Chiefs go down on a third and seven.

Mahmes runs around misses what should have been an easy sack fights Travis Kelsey sitting all alone for a first down, they kneel on it until there's a second left because the opposing teams used up all their timeouts, and boom, game winning field goal. Of course onots in. Gosh, they're that good.

Man, no way that deserves to go into it. And I'm thinking, am I gonna have the curse? Is that gonna miss? Is it gonna the post and come back? And of course it hits the post that goes in. That's unbelievable.

How that's just I don't even know what's saying more fans.

If it's the post, I would say, like eighty percent of the time, the kick's not going to be good.

If you're a chief.

A serious question, if you're a chief, san does do these kind of breaks that are happening in the ring snap last week in the Raiders game, the field goal dwinking in this week several breaks with quote unquote calls. Does it build your confidence up that makes you, oh, yeah, we're just we're wait, who did who was it that we had on a while back on he Maybe it was on Friday night whenever we were filling in.

By the way, look at you on the Friday nights? Are these are these last second or are these scripted and planned?

No?

That was that was planned. I don't know Jason was off that night. I don't know where he went look at you anyway.

I don't know if it was on a Friday night or when it was, but I mean, I think it was Jason Cole. It's like, Oh, I just think they're bored with the regular season. And if that's the case, you getting a lot of breaks if you're bored and kind of playing with your food a lot like they are. So if you're a Chance fan, does this build your confidence?

Right?

Oh? Yeah, nothing can stop us or I mean sneakily Arnie, it's it's it's it's gotta make you a little bit worried how they're just skating buying a lot of these games.

You can't be bored with the regular season. Maybe if it's the NAA, you could say you're bored with the your season because the NBA has that type of game where you can share two walls and like that. You can't do that in football one game a week. You can't just half assets. You got to be ready for the whole game. Otherwise you're gonna get yourself hurt. They've just been very lucky, I mean good and lucky. But remember what they always say, better to be lucky than good. They're a little bit of both. If I'm a Chiefs fan, I'm saying to myself, it's gonna come back, you know. If I'm in a room with a whole bunch of other Chief fans eating barbecue, I'm saying to myself, is it gonna come back? And Biden's and the ass boys. Eventually we're not gonna get lucky, and it's gonna cause us a super Bowl. That's how I feel.

Get Arnie working so blue tonight, Mary. The language he's really trying to show off.

Are they.

Think is oh, we have my Hollywood elite friends who are gonna be writing that Arnie Spaniards show I told you about.

Are you sure this is an Arnie Spaniards show.

I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure.

Hey.

By the way, once I become famous on TV, I'm gonna have to come up with a whole new list of friends, aren't I.

Well, of course that's what you do.

Yeah, Like I mean, I can see like Ben Afflack and I being good friends.

Ben would not want to be your friend?

Why not? Why would?

He's actually smart?

And if I'm friends with Ben Affleck, I'm automatically friends with Matt Damon too. So how about Snoop would want to be friends with me? Can you see me going over to watch the games with Snoop? And I'd say, put on the games and can you blow?

Why did you just sound high right there?

Yeah? He doesn't know what that means. Can you?

Can you blow that the other way?

Snoop?

Not in my direction please.

And snoopould look at you and kick you right off the compound.

Wow, agreed?

What about Sandler? Adam Sandler and I would be good friends. I could see that.

I can actually see that one, that's the realistic one.

And I don't. Yeah, yeah, I can see myself Like I said, Hey, Adam, meet me at the courts. Let's play some ball, you know, go shoot around.

There was no confidence when you said that.

Yeah, it'll dunk on you, Arnie, or you'll shoot the three.

When I become friends with Snoop, I want to take a picture of us together. Okay, so you guys know how close we are.

So what is the next step here? Before you become.

Rich and join the Illuminatio.

Yeah, no, I just swear it's just a matter of time now. And I've come up with the title of the show. You know how the name of the show was Roseanne. How about this Arnie?

I don't think you get to what a genius name? For sure?

I always like the Brady Bunch. How about Arnie's Bunch?

Again? Do you get to name this show? I do?

I think I pretty kind of. I'm pretty sure I get.

To That's not the most reassuring.

Pretty sure.

The Hollywood at least said no.

No, how about Hello, Hello Arnie?

How about Arnie?

Everybody woves Arnie?

Do this sad? Can we just go to the next topic?

Is really?

Yeah, that's a good call. All right?

As we come to you live from the tyrach dot com studios, As expected, another Sunday night football slash primetime escape for the Chiefs.

Steve de Sager is here to recap it all with what's trending? What's going on? Steve?

You know, I would say it's just astounding at this point, but it was at this point two months ago.

It just hasn't ended.

The Chiefs are twelve and one, undefeated, at home, They blew a thirteen to nothing halftime lead and still win nineteen seventeen over the Chargers tonight on a thirty one yard field goal on the final play that went off the upright and through. The Chargers allowed just sixteen points a game that is the best in the NFL. They had a lead of seventeen to sixteen until the final drive fourteen plays when the Chiefs took the last four thirty five off the clock and win on a field goal on the final play, which is exactly how the Chargers lost the Monday night game at Arizona earlier this year, similar field goal on the final play, and that was seventeen to fifteen. And when the Chargers and Chiefs met in La in September this year, it was tied fourth quarter. Chiefs had a sixty yard drive to take the lead. This was a fourteen play forty seven yard drive.

How games are the Chiefs won in the fourth quarter this year?

In fact, if not just this year, if you just go by games decided by one score or less, they've won fifteen in a row, the longest set streak in the history of the National Football League, and they continue to dominate the AFC West and specifically the Chargers over the past decade. The Chiefs record against the Chargers is nineteen to three, including seven straight wins head to head, both games this year home and home. One thing for Justin Herbert, who was playing without his starting running back JK. Dobbins on the injury reserve for a month and without by far his wide receiver, rookie Lad mcconkee, was out tonight with knee and shoulder injuries. But Herbert still has not thrown an interception since Week two. That was the only pick he's thrown all season. It's now been three hundred and thirty five passes in a row without an interception thrown by Justin Herbert, which is a franchise.

Right, so rather have two.

It is an eight and five record for the Chargers now, and keep in mind is Baltimore is also eight and five. Just a couple weeks ago on Monday Night Football, Baltimore beat the Chargers head to head in La so for the moment that would move the Ravens up to perhaps a Ravens at Texans first round battle, and the Denver Broncos are eight and five and guess what, Remember that flex to a Thursday game. It's a week and a half away. It's Denver at the Chargers, and currently they're both at.

Eight at five.

The Monday night football game tomorrow is Cincinnati four and eights at Dallas five and seven. Cowboys have one home win all season one and five for the Bengals, Joe Burrow does have four straight games with at least three passing touchdowns. His year has been superb thirty touchdowns only five interceptions. Obviously, he won't sniff the MVP award because Cincinnati's four and eight, but Joe Burrow has been quite good. Six teams are on a bye this weekend. By the way, the defenses for the Rams and Bills were on a bye.

Today.

The Rams wound up winning forty four to forty two, highest scoring game of the league this year. Buffalo's seven game win streak is over Seattle and San Francisco, each one and earlier. Today, Philadelphia won its ninth in a row. Minnesota won its sixth straight. In fact, the Vikings got five touchdown passes from Sam Darnold in a win over Kirk Cousins in Atlanta forty two to thirty one. SMU and Clemson made the College Football Playoff. Alabama and Miami were not selected. Alabama this year lost to two five hundred teams, Oklahoma and Vanderbilt. SMU opens its postseason at Penn State. Remember home games for the first round. Clemson opens at Texas on Saturday, the twenty first. Texas is eleven and two, both losses to Georgia. Purdue has a new head football coach. It's Barry Odom from UNLV. He'd also coached at Missouri. UCF introduced Scott Frost as head coach today. In the NBA, the late game is in La Lebron James of the Lakers out tonight with a sore foot. Lakers are off until Friday. After this evening Lakers lead Portland one hundred to eighty three, was six minutes to go. Already wins for Golden State and Sacramento. Wins for Houston and Memphis. Denver got forty eight points from Nikola jokicchen one at Atlanta one forty one to one eleven. Miami upset Cleveland won twenty two to one thirteen. And perhaps you heard about the little contract the Mets agreed to tonight with outfielder Juan Soto fifteen year deal worth seven hundred and sixty five million dollars oh, with opt out after five years. No money deferred involved in SODO to the Mets, back to you.

So do we now? Wait, my gosh, I'm sorry. Seven hundred and sixty five million and he doesn't pitch, No, he doesn't. It's just an outfielder. What does that go down? Per season? Steve fifty one million? Are we?

Are we getting closer to an era of one hundred million dollar a year players? Maybe maybe we're not quite there in baseball, but I feel like we're getting close in basketball in the NBA, right, I mean, we're we're inching towards that.

Right.

If I'm an owner, I just give them the team and say pay me. Do you just pay me?

What are they gonna what are they gonna pay you for? What do you do?

It's crazy out there, and you have your first billion dollar player probably in two three years from now.

I'm guessing that's say, maybe that's the better question.

Instead of one hundred million dollars per year, when's our first he signed a billion dollar deal? I'd give all that money. I give all that money to Patrick Mahomes that's for sure. I mean, are we watching what he's doing right now? Bill, here's a couple of ideas. Arnie should just call his show gas lit. That's from Bake, because you're always gaslight, you're gaslighting everybody. Here's a few from Colin. He right, Nobody loves Arnie, breaking Arnie, the Spankers, curb Arnie's enthusiasm, the Arnie File. We could have some fun with this.

I think I like that. That's like the Rockford Files, the Arnie Files. That could be good.

They're focused on the wrong one. Dude.

Wow, again, I still don't I think is this show about Arnie Spaniard?

I mean, is that what we're talking about?

The war usedad.

No, you don't have to worry what it's about, don't worry about but you're telling us what it's about.

And I think you're misrepresenting it as well.

It's it's pretty much the Arnie Span your show pretty much.

I'm just gonna say yourself.

Here's a good tweet.

Here's a good tweet for mister Nobody to gives back real quick on the Chiefs tonight, and then coming up we'll dive into really good interactions so far on the program so far. On Twitter, it's thinking genius swap. I'm at playing show. Everybody should be following us. At Fox Sports Radio, here's mister nobody who writes Areti's not wrong about the Chiefs, with apologies to Rob Parker for gimmick infringement. The Chiefs are the worst eleven to one team I've ever heard of. If they luck their way into the Super Bowl, they won't win it. There are ten teams in the NFL that have a better point differential than the Chiefs do, right and they're at twelve and one right now.

But like I said, I don't really trust anybody other than Buffalo and Buffalo we've seen what happens when they go in the playoffs en have to take on the Chiefs. It doesn't usually fare too well for them. Otherwise, Pittsburgh, Texans, maybe at Baltimore, but I don't really buy into anybody else that could beat the Kansas City Chiefs.

You're still kind of saying the Texans kind of surprises me a little bit because you've been off them for a while. Now I have them for a while. With the way that they've played.

They're disappointing. There's no doubt about that, But they're still going to go the division.

I'm guessing.

I guess from my perspective, I feel the exact same way you do. Who do you look at and feel incredibly confident that you could look up and still see them playing in the AFC or NFC Championship game? I mean, because even at twelve and one in their history, I still think there's people that are like, I just don't know. Eventually it's gonna catch up to them. Well will it? When you have to go through Arrowhead? And it might be what was.

The wind show whenever the Dolphins played there?

Like five degrees negative one hundred degrees?

Do you feel over The Eagles are eleven and two right now, can't throw the football, They've won nine straight games. Do you feel overly confident about them making a push towards the Super Bowl? The Lions are an incredible story, Arnie, I mean an incredible story. They're twelve and one, they keep finding ways to win games. They've won eleven straight games. But I think, as as Ephram put it, they had dudes introducing themselves to each other before kickoff on Thursday, and I say, Hi, how you doing, Jamal Adams. We played college ball against each other. Gay, I'm the safety, I go here. I mean, that's how deemed up they are are right now. I don't think anyone feels confident about what's going on in the NFC South or West. I mean, come on, dude, this is as I bring up that point to say, as lopsided as these numbers look, right, an eleven and two team, a twelve and one team, Vikings are eleven and two, Chiefs twelve and one, at ten and three and ten and three. I don't know if if any of us look at that and say, oh, yeah, dude, that team's going to the Super Bowl and either in either conference right now.

No, but that doesn't mean they can't pull off and up. Absolutely are we going to be surprised Minnesota. Let's say they're taking on a Detroit or Philadelphia team. They're only going to be what a five or six point favorite. That's nothing crazy. Green Bay's got a good team. I don't think they can do it, but you never know when they pull off something, or maybe like Daniels with the Commanders.

And Vava job at the right time, if the.

Chargers are Denver going a little bit of a run. I mean, I'm not crazy about a rookie quarterback like bo Knicks, but he's looked good. He's getting better every week. He's looking so much better. You just I'll know where that upset comes from.

All Right, when we come back to the Tyraq dot com studios, you know what, we need a full run through all your reactions to week fourteen to one Soda. We've barely scratched the surface on the twelve team college football playoff and the rabot. How about the fact that last year's fourteen playoffs semi final game between Michigan and Alabama, the rematch this year is in the.

Rely Request Bowl. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

There was a lot of people complaining about that. I know that there was people just screaming that the system's messed up.

Well, the systems. It's college football. It's always been messed up. But let's tell you how messed up it is. When we come back with Arnie and Plank on a Fox Sports Sunday.

Fifteen years, seven hundred and sixty five million dollars for one SODO to the Mets fifty one million dollars is the second largest average aav.

In baseball history. How about that?

That's insane. I keep I just don't know how you. I mean, what do you do with all that money? You just want to sit around in the bank or you start buying some big old homes. I don't know what you do, geez.

I mean, I'd like to try to figure out what to do with that kind.

Of privately, is what I would do.

Let's get to week fourteen, though, a lot of things that we haven't really had a chance to dive into yet. Arnie and two of them on the injury front near and dear to my heart, at O'Connell looks like he's done for the season. Did you happen to see the play he got hurt on the rador?

What he was pushing in the back?

Did I miss something? Was he was pushing miss back?

And I know what you're saying, And he just fell over And I'm like, how did he fracture his ankles? That I'm not quite understanding what happened there.

I feel the same way I'm watching it and he's down and the cart comes out, and I'm thinking, what is this some sort of chest injury?

What's going on here? And they put the air cast on it and he got up. He got up and got on the cart. So that means the Raiders as bad as they are at two and eleven. Now, Oh, by the way, guess what, America, you get to watch them on Monday Night Football next week. Sorry about that. We'll now have their third string quarterback as the starting quarterback, a guy who wasn't even on the team to start the season. So things looking good for that top pick is Desmond Ritter will get the call for the Raiders.

On money get your door standers with the door cam Ward, you know, whichever way they decided to go with it.

I mean, Dion's pushing it big time.

You're you're gonna get Sanders? Now, how are you gonna what about his son?

Were?

What round is he gonna go in?

Which one? I have a hunter? Nod calls coach Prime calls Travis's other son. You know, wow, so I know you're talking about his other I think he's like a third round pick right now. Maybe.

Okay, So the Raiders could have both of them, then that's right.

And remember they have an extra third round pick from the trade for Davante Adams, so maybe they do. I want to see him do the thing the Texans did a couple of years ago where they get their quarterback and then trade back up and also get Travis Hunter. I know that's not going to happen, but here we are. The other injury. The other injury was Derek Carr, who, unfortunately, unlessen SAT fans, you're the worst man. I just this guy is balling. He's playing well, and you would think that he's out there throwing with his left hand. Well, his left hand gets hurt as he's going all out to make a play. It looks like he broke his wrist or broke his hand. I don't know. I don't know if he can play through that. I mean, it's his non throwing hand. But next week the Saints and the Washington Commanders.

So yeah, yeah, I'm shutting it down. If i'm him there, I am too. Yeah, there's no reason to play through that. He looked like he was in a lot of paying coming off, and I felt bad for the guy to be I think.

I think there. I mean I don't know what the future looks like.

I mean, has Russell has Russell Wilson established himself as the Steelers guy?

No, he's the Steelers guy for this year and just this year at all?

Is I mean, is it done so done that Gino Smith's still gonna be there? I mean all Seattle does is win games, right, I mean, I don't know if there's Atlanta's a mess right now, but we know who their next starting quarterback is going to be, and it could be sooner rather than later. I mean, I just I love Derek Carry's one of my favorite backs. Is he going to be a bridge quarterback in a place like Tennessee or maybe going back to Vegas or maybe the Giants because there's just not a lot of options out there, I think for some of these veteran quarterbacks. But you never know. I mean, look at Cleveland right now. Are you counting on to Shaun Watson being their guy next year?

No? And also are you counting if you're a Minnesota on JJ McCarthy, if Sam Donald is going to leave it, I guess he's going to leave because they're not gonna give him the money.

Well, they're making it seem like Sam Donald's gonna get paid this offseason and mintioning mentioning that, and speaking of that, Arnie, we got to start giving the Vikings the credit they deserve. Five touchdown passes for Sam Darnald three hundred and forty seven yards through the air. Now, granted, they had a little bit of a rough start in this game, right, This was a fourteen to ten game at the half, and the Falcons where they took the lead in the third quarter, but twenty one and answered in the third quarter to just absolutely pulled away. I mean, let's go, what a what a resurrection story for the career of Sam Darnald here.

When they all as cousins, I'm like, oh, well they're done. It's going their old point and McCartney gets turned, the McCarthy gets turned the preseason too, I'm like, forget about this. Could you imagine that McCarthy didn't get hurt and he got the start. Ah, this might look like a completely different point at the start.

Great point, but are you buying the Vikings?

I guess I have to because I have no choice. I have no choice, and it's really top heavy. So they're the next to the best bunch there.

Yeah, the Eagles won twenty two to sixteen today Carolina Panthers, dropping Carolina to three and ten, boosting the Eagles to twenty to eleven and two winners of nine straight games. But Arnie afterwards, the only conversation anyone went to have was about the inept nature of the Eagles passing game. Jalen Hurts finished fourteen of twenty one for one hundred and eight yards. Aj Brown four catches for forty three yards. But with Saquon running like he did, and I mean the Eagles as a team, they ran the ball thirty one times for two hundred and nine yards six point seven yards per carry.

Yeah, but they brought only out one hundred and twenty four yards, so it wasn't like he was tearing it up though I gave him like twenty times.

Though, oh, win is one hundred and twenty four yards not a good rushing day. It is.

But if you tell me had one hundred and twenty four yards rushing and Hurts out one hundred yards pass, the had so old, then they lost. They you can't win a game on that. That's not gonna happen.

I say six win.

His twenty carries one hundred and twenty four yards six point two yards per carry, Like god, you know, he just didn't really have that great of the game, Like, what are we even doing in combination with just one hundred yards passing?

All allow it, mister Spaniard, Thanks but thank you.

Should there be concerns about Philadelphia not being able to field?

No, I mean, look, I thought Philadelphia, I like away in the line the points. Remember we heard about that gambler that bet three point one million that they were going to win the game. We should have known that the Panthers plus the points for the play here. I just didn't think.

Why because one guy bet on it that you've never heard of before in your life.

That's amazing three point one They even mentioned that on the red zone shadow. They're like an unknown gambler. But three point one million to win four forty thousand, it's still insane. I was rooting against him. I wanted to see the Panthers away.

Of course you were. Well.

When we come back to the tyrack dot com studios, that's just a start on some of the notes and tidbits from Week fourteen to the National Football League.

We got much much more to.

Get to, including an update on the books with our man Todd Furman. But listen, Arnie, we are an hour into the program and we haven't yet touched on the twelve team playoff. It is set the matchups. We know there's numbers and spreads out there. Who's mad? Who's happy? Did we get it right? We're gonna talk about the twelve team playoff when we come back, plus more on the Chiefs Sunday Night football win on Fox Sports Radio. We're comany Alive from the tyrack dot com studios.

Tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be. Anything surprised you about the twelve team playoff announcement today? Were you shocked the Alabama didn't get in? I?

Well, I wasn't shocked because I saw the report before it came out. Did you see that? I think I said it to you? Did I not?

Or what I was on the air, But Brett McMurphy reporting that SMU was in and Alabama was out right.

I saw that report. I retweeted it to ruin it for everybody else. So because I got a ruined for me, so I wanted to ruin it for everybody else out there. But I still didn't believe it. When it was coming down, I'm like, he must be wrong because I'm trying to look at the numbers in the seats, and I thought he was wrong up till the last minute. They they I thought they did a pretty good job on the selection show, to be honest with you, the first with it and the way they put it out there and the way they re released the teams and how they got it to the SMU or Alabama to the end there. I thought they did a very good job, to be honest with it. But I tell you that was the biggest surprise.

There's no doubt When you say they did a good job.

Are you talking about the selection committee or the actual broadcast itself.

No, Well, I guess the committee could only do what it was by the rules. But I do the props. Well, you know, I don't think that boys he should be getting a first round by same thing with Arizona State. I don't think that Oregon should have to play the winner of.

What was see.

I thought that's ridiculous. Penn States certainly has an easy road, but the rules that that one made right, right, But don't we say that? Even in basketball we say that too, though.

They A lot of things need to change.

Let me let me tell you just some thoughts real quick from someone who has spent way too much to time today covering this. Number One you've got to receive if you're going to continue to give four conference champions byes regardless, right, kind of kind of like the NFL where if you win in your division, you get a home playoff game.

Now this is.

Different because we're only talking about four and a twelve team playoff, So I think that needs to be reevaluated. I agree with you because there's no way. What was Arizona twelve in the seeding?

Right?

They were the twelfth three team Arizona State, Well, everyone knows what I'm talking about because Arizona's irrelevant. So Arizona State was twelve. They shouldn't be getting a buy They shouldn't. I love Boise State this year, shouldn't be getting a buy But okay, regardless of that, we should reseed after the first round, right, because again, Oregon shouldn't be allowed to play the lowest seeded team remaining, and if that's the nine seed and that's Tennessee, Okay, I just I have a hard time looking at that and thinking, Wow, Oregon's the one seed and their reward is they get to play against either Ohio State who nearly beat him at home.

Right, maybe one of the more.

Underappreciated defensive football teams in college football in Tennessee with maybe the best defensive football I know they are on he maybe the best defensive football player, James Pierce.

Just unbelievable. So I don't like that about it.

I also, again, we could debate until we're blue in the face. But one thing that really kind of irked me today. Did you notice when they were using the resumes what they were comparing people with.

I did look at the resumes, but iak up on that wins over teams that are five hundred? Right? I saw that part?

Yes, When did that start being a thing you should always if you're a playoff team, you shouldn't be company. Well, they lost to a team with Alabama was doing one about five hundred if I remember correctly, they were four and one.

Well the other ones were like, well SMU was what two and three or something.

No, correct you're thinking of When they were debating the three teams that were deserving of a bye, whenever, it's Arizona State and Clemson and SMU not not SMU, excuse me, Boise State and Clemson was the only Clemson had a losing record against teams that are below five hundred five hundred, and so my point is, the hell are we doing College Football Playoff Committee graphic makers? Wins over teams that are five hundred are better? How about wins over teams in the top twenty five? How about wins over teams that are ranked over five hundred? Arnie, I just I felt like.

It was a universal lowering of the bar is what I thought we saw here today. And number two, long run, I know everyone's clowning on Alabama's athletic director because, oh, he didn't lose any non conference games, So how is this really going to affect non conference scheduling? It will, and it's going to because all these games that you like, they're not gonna happen in the non content and the SEC. Another thing is not going to expand to nine conference games. They're going to stay at eight and basically say bleep, you, so when you can plain when Alabama is playing more games against Mercers, Cathedral College or whomever's.

But they played three Pautz's anyway this year, Chris, did they not?

Yeah, but they always schedule up and they're and they're always going to do it now and they're not going to add a ninth college conference game, which I think everybody should be at nine. But why would you if you're the ACC or the Big twelve or the SEC, Like, no, why would we because it doesn't matter s U. Strength of schedule is laughable. But all they did was beat the teams they're supposed to beat, and you've got to reward that. I thought they were out in the first half last night, Arnie, I'm not gonna lie, I thought, asking you and it was out in Alabama.

And eyeball, I'm like, oh, they're getting blown out. They're not even gonna be close. Well, it's just Alabama's in. There's no doubt in my mind they were gonna get in at that point.

But I will say my favorite things so far in the knnipplamar or excuse me, on our text that we've been rolling through here today, on our tweets of the show. Have been people that are pointing out that last year Alabama got the benefit while Florida State got screwed. Right, So what are all the Florida State fans loving tonight and all college footballmaas?

Yeah, they got stuck for.

That calburd rights. Alabama was left out of the college football playoffs. Now the shoe was on the other foot when they robbed Florida State last season out of a playoffs.

Whether they deserved it or not, were you surprised that they left Alabama out? Yes, shocked you and I both because I always think they'll find the way to put him in. It's made for TV. More eyes will watch the Alabama team than SMU. They'll figure it out. They'll come up with some excuse, but they didn't do it.

I think I think SMU is a good football team. I think they're fun. I think they're gonna get smoked by Penn State. By the way, I'll tell you what. Penn State looked pretty good offensively to me last night for a team that has been kind of mediocre offensively all season long.

Did you watch much of the Big Ten title game?

Yeah?

You know? Locked in man, what.

Is it now? James Franklin. Oh and ten against teams in the top ten?

Is that? What is it?

What it's come down to now? To an eighth against the spread, that's gotta change real quick.

Well, well, what if they make the Well look at their path, aren't he They play SMU in the first round, then they play boys he stayed in the second round. Those are games James Franklin wins. Yeah, if he gets Penn State to the semi finals against say Georgia or Notre Dame or Indiana, I mean, that's like a as bad as he's been against top ten teams, you gotta.

Do you tip your cap or do you say it was a lucky draw.

That was a lucky draw, No doubt it was a lucky draw. No infans or much about that.

Would you would you take him as your coach at Arizona? Of course?

See, I mean that's the whole thing, right. So you're like, oh, he sucks against top ten teams. And by the way, uh, he's three and nineteen against top ten opponents. Oh my god, three and nineteen, So you have to you know, let's not let's not anything exact, but three and ten against top ten opponents with both losses this year coming against top ten teams.

But I just it's one of those great I mean, look at Ohio State right now.

Ohio State fans are like done with Ryan Days, crying Day is out, he stinks, he's no good. Well, they got a whole playoff game against Tennessee in primetime on Saturday night December twenty first, and then that game they had against Oregon on the road, it came down to a literal last millisecond play right whenever they said the clock expired before Will Howard got down to try a long field goal to win the game. And now you're gonna play them in a neutral site. I mean again, I'm just I'm saying these two coaches that everybody thinks stinks and what fired Arnie, they can find themselves playing for a national championship even after losing to their.

Rivals or ohiose they could end up losing the Tennessee in the first d be done and things will get real ugly. Losing it home to a team like that.

You can take that negative side.

I'm going glass half for what's your favorite first round matchup? Ohio State, Tennessee, Clemson, Texas, Notre Dame Indiana or Penn State SMU.

It's obviously Ohio State Tennessee. That's the one I think is a chance for an upset. Unless I'm missing something out there. I do like Notre Dame Indiana, but people kept telling me Indiana's no strength of schedule, their rankings are no good, they don't deserve to be there, So I'm laying off time. I like Indiana all year, but I think the Ohio State Tennessee game has the best chance for the upset. That's that's probably the best matchup.

You think that Ohio State Tennessee has the best chance for an upset? Yeah.

For tennis, probably probably so, right, I mean, because it's seven and a half and the other games are right around eight. I saw a first number I saw for Texas and Clemson. I think it was the one that I sent you eleven and a half.

Wow, exactly.

Really, we'll talk to Todd Furman about it coming up in just a bit. All right. Then, from that perspective, who's second round? Then? Matchup? Do you like better of the four buys?

I gotta I gotta say, honestly, I kind of dig what Georgia might face, and I know Notre Dame is there. But between Oregon, Georgia, Boise State, and Arizona State.

Well, I mean, if we're looking at from the teams that have the buy, then if that's what you're saying.

I'm asking, who do you think of the bye teams has the best second round matchup?

Well, then it's going to be Georgia, though Boise if they get the first roundups that with SMU, they'll be real happy to see SMU come intown and they might ever be scared of Penn State. So maybe Boise might be the answer to all that. I'm curious to see how good Arizona State's gonna be. But they can't beat Texas. They could maybe beat Clemson, but they can't. They can't beat Texas.

I wonder if I wonder if Clemson's gonna pull off some sort of voodoo in this and somehow knockoff Texas. I don't think so.

I mean, any chance Texas and Clemson just battle it out so bad that they don't have enough left for the following week against Arizona State.

That's the concern over those first round games right now.

The way, do I get have credit for saying a team from Arizona it was going to be in the twelve team playoff.

If I would have asked you in the preseason what you thought Arizona State's record would be, you probably would have told me they wouldn't win a game. I mean, I'm just you gotta be honest with that right now. But here they are in the playoffs.

I probably would have said that, but I didn't. I could say, no, that's not true.

All right, final question on the playoffs. Biggest gripe for not being in Bama, Ole, Miss Miami, or South Carolina.

Alabama, there's no doubt. Yes, they lost the Vanderbilt and they lost your Oklahoma team, but they played in the SEC every week is so damn tough. Their schedules so much better also, and they do have better wins. I think they have the biggest s gripe of the bunch out there.

At a laugh Bakes tweet on it said, what we've discovered is that Kaylin de Boor is not yet connected.

Yeah, he doesn't have those connections.

But if Nick Saban was the head coach when Alabama made it this.

Year, yeah, you know, that's a great question. That is a great question, Arnie. If Saban was still the coach. Is Alabama in the playoffs?

Yes, the answer is, Jess, I think you're right, He answers the answer, jest.

Now, I don't think here's the other. I don't think they lose to Vanderbilt, and they probably don't lose Oklahoma. But that's neither here nor there.

Maybe they lose one of those games.

I'm gonna tell you this right now, and I listen, I'm a completing total homer. I don't know who was beating Oklahoma on that Saturday night, Norman. I mean, that was as good as I've seen a football team play in person, period, And they weren't very good in the first quarter offensively, and then they got going.

I don't know who was stopping them.

So when people are like and I as six to six Oklahoma like, well, on that night, we were more like a twelve and one football team, I don't know what got into him. So I'm not excusing it. I'm not making anything seem better for Alabama. I'm just saying, of the teams that have a gripe right now, I guess that's the one where you look at maybe Southern mess I keep saying Southern South Carolina Arnie because in the old school day of the college basketball tournament, remember how important was how you played down the stretch.

He's like, well, in their last ten games, they're eight and two.

So we got him in and everyone like abolished that and it didn't matter how you played down the stretch. Well down the stretch. South Carolina was the best team in college football. Man, they were just balling. They beat Clemson last week. They won big games, but they lost to a Miss, and they lost Alabama and they got beat by Elis.

When when we get these sixteen teams in, who would have been the next four teams in Alabama, Miami, South Carolina, Ole Miss. Is that who we'd have been?

Yeah? Absolutely, I don't think there's any that would have been great.

That would have been awesome.

I don't know if our debates are going to be that fun in the future when we're getting down to thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, Like this seems like a pretty unique year on that front, doesn't it.

And by the way, it does seem unique on that And I also brought this up on Friday when I was filling in and Harmon and I went back and forth on this and maybe it would have been another filling. Also, I said, you know, because of this playoff, we're gonna lose out on these conference championships won't have the same meaning. People won't go what was it the ACC championship or the they had the block off the top tier, the top part of the bowl. Nobody's going to this stuff. It's like it's almost a devalued a whole thing.

So you're saying you don't think Oregon celebrating was happy winning the Big Ten title.

They of course they were happy.

Yes, so it's not devalued.

Some are, some aren't.

Okay, So you're telling me Georgia wasn't ecstatic and Kirby Smart was sitting there talking gas about getting a buy from winning the SEC championship.

No, they wanted to win that one. Also, I will say that.

Are you're telling me Dabos Sweeney didn't give a twelve minute post game press conference interview.

Oh, any time he wins, he gives a twelve minute post game interview.

So that guy Clinton that got clemsed into the playoffs, I wasn't exciting for you.

It was, But I'm just saying I think most people.

You're just I'm giving you evidence to count and you're.

No, No, I'm not saying exciting. I'm thinking about going to the game spending your money people.

I mean go to the playoff game? Why who cares? Existence?

What's crazy at Atlanta for the SEC title game?

Yeah, that they were, but the other games they are holding back money and they were going to go to the playoff games?

Well were they? I mean what would I? What were I with State fans holding back money for it to not be in Dallas? I mean, what were you doing, Pyclones? Well they did, I mean and there was nobody there. Jerry World's got to stop hosting that thing. Put the Big twelve Championship game and home sites. They don't have the types of crowds that can fill that place period. All right, when we come back to the Tirack dot com studios, let's talk spreads and numbers with our man, Todd Furman right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Mary, your Christmas song polls are fantastics, thank you.

Yeah, out of absolutely nowhere. You have nothing to do with her pulling her Chris or what the play.

No you don't.

Sometimes it's already playing on a Fox Sports Sunday, Todd Furman joins us bet the Board podcast can't miss, especially this time of year, because we're talking big money with the playoffs. Todd, let's start there already, and I we're talking college football and the twelve team playoff. Taking a little pause from Week fourteen to the NFL. Are you surprised sum you got the nod over Alabama? You surprised by any of the seedings?

No, not surprised that SMU got the NOD. I think if you set the precedence that a conference championship game doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot, you're putting yourself in a little bit of harm's way. And Alabama had multiple opportunities. I know they played a much more difficult schedule going through the SEC, but you can't lose on the road at Vanderbilt. There's more than any three touchdown favorite, and you can't lay the eggs they did in Norman, mustering all of three points against the Sooners. If that game is more competitive, I can see making a case. But Alabama had multiple opportunities to improve their resume, and I think the committee got it right a rewarding SMU for fighting back after facing a seventeen point deficit. In the AEC Championship game.

Todd any sudden movement right when the lines came out earlier, Any big money come in already.

No, nothing major. You've seen a little bit of an appetite in Indiana and number got as high as nine. That number is trended now in that seven and a half range. I think it's going to be interesting to monitor the weather forecast for all these games have a number of programs not used to playing in cold weather. And let's not sugarcoat it, most of these teams aren't used to playing in late December and cold weather venues when the season typically ends in late November. So that becomes a game changer. And how these teams can acclimate in those kind of adverse conditions all will go a long way, especially when these on campus games. So for a team like SMU practicing in Dallas, heading in a happy Valley not going to be a pleasant experience any more than it will be any more than it will be in my opinion, for Tennessee heading north to go to Columbus, even against a Buckeyes offensive line that may not be able to protect their quarterback against that Tennessee defensive front.

One more thing that just odds to win the championship like Penn State. Do the odds reflect on Penn State having an easy roach. I just bet Penn State because they'll be that SMU and Boise and get to the four or what I.

Mean, most of these prices, you're going to get better numbers and return on investment if you end up betting these teams on the money line and rolling them over, I mean Penn State at six to one, you're not stealing anything by any stretch of the imagination, because if they have to go through two of the better teams in the country, we already saw them as a three and a half point underdog, not have enough offensive firepower to keep up with Oregon, and if you had to go through a Georgia team, I mean, you may essentially be able to get that in just a three or four game money line parlay with Penn State rather than betting them at six to one if they have to go through the most difficult road in front of them.

Todd, you mentioned something about the weather and the side of that. From that factor perspective, obviously, home field need means a lot, the breaks mean a lot, But does college football need to reevaluate the idea of just giving the four highest seed conference champs. Do they need to reevaluate those teams getting the first round by No.

I don't think they need to reevaluate because I don't want to tournament where it's two teams from the SEC and two teams in the big tents that are getting a buy every year, and I think if that's the case, you're taking away some of the intrigues. So rewarding the Boise States in the Arizona States of the world goes a long way. What I think the committee needs to do, though, is see these teams one through twelve and reseed based on how things go. So if you have a twelve seed upset of five and your Oregon waiting in the wings, you shouldn't have to play Ohio State Tennessee. The winner of that game, you should draw the twelve seed and treat it much like the NFL does with the AFC and NFC playoffs, where the best team plays the worst remaining team. And college football can't hide behind this bracket ideology. It makes sense in college basketball, where teams are in the same venue playing thirty six hours apart, you have ten days to make your travel plans here. So I think that's the one tweak I would like to see from the College Football Playoff going forward, that all of these teams are seeded and five through twelve take place. But if the twelve beats the five, then the one plays the twelve in the quarterfinals.

Which cable get the most action on it?

Todd, Oh, it'll be the Saturday night game between Ohio State and Tennessee. Everything that you see to the first three games, in my opinion, we'll roll into that and you look at some of the blue bloods that are involved in these games. I mean, Indiana may not move the needle for the casual fan, but I think that's arguably the most fascinating matchup because it's two programs that, despite being separated by just a few hours, don't play every year. At Notre Dame hasn't had any interest in playing Indiana in the past. But everything will go into that Ohio State Tennessee game is kind of the Marquee Crown Jewel Saturday Night in.

Columbus to the NFL today. Todd just just out of curiosity when you hear stories about massive wagers and they become public, like the three million dollar alleged wager today, what is as someone who lives this every day, and obviously that person may too.

I don't know.

I just it always kind of pisses me off for some reason. What do you make when you see a story like that that goes viral?

Oh, it gets under my skin as well. I think it glorifies an asset of the business that doesn't need to be out there. And I think what gets lost, especially with a wager like this, not that the player, the individual serame nameless risk three point one million dollars, but that three point one million dollars pays a half a million dollars coming back. It's not like they're putting up three point three to make three at minus one ten. It's one of the heavier money lines that are out there. And the sportsbook that took the bat, Hey, look, they do a tremendous job with their risk profile and everything else. They respected the bet so much that they didn't even move the money line based on that wage you're coming in. So that tells you about the caliber of player. It's the same thing with a couple of these national books where they want to try and share some of these large tickets, six figure bets from celebrities when I can bet six dollars and sixty three cents on some of these NFL props that are out there on a given Sunday. So it is an endless source of frustration for what gets out there from a shock value standpoint, and to your point, Chris, for folks that don't understand the industry, it just creates, you know, all sorts of sirens and all of that. The reason I say that as well because when I work behind the counter at Caesars, we had a customer who bet two hundred thousand dollars on ten to twelve NFL games every single week. And if I disclosed any of that information or that individual who since passed, I would have been fired and terminated on the spot for violating you know, that kind of not quite doctor patient confidentiality, but it's the kind of thing that you keep behind closed doors. And this seems to be more about publicity to anything else.

Oh I love it. I love that stuff. I can't get enough every thought. I see those big bets and they're all over Twitter now, Dott, it's all over the place. I eat that stuff up. I can't get enough of it.

Well, the difference that I have with this is the book that took this particular wager is known to take large bets, so you can make special arrangements with them, and they're happy to kind of honor this caliber of action. So I don't want to group them with a couple of the national books that are out there that I'm not going to put on blast by any stretch of the imagination, that want to circulate large tickets, they want to circulate parlays. But yet anyone who has a pulse who tries to bet some of these games doesn't have the ability to do so. And guys, I can share screenshots with you of betting and trying to bet an NFL total or a college football over under for a conference championship game on Friday night where I got maybe one eighth of the limit that I want, And folks would be embarrassed by the amount that these books are taking despite being publicly traded companies.

Week fourteen, I mean, again, the Chiefs find a way they dwink it in the Bills defense looks a little bit suspect that we've I mean even go back to Thursday night and the Lions needed a little bit of everything to win that day doing that game on that day.

I don't know why.

As much as we have a lot of teams that are rolling and dominating right now with their overall record, for some reason todd with the way they're playing, I feel like it's a little bit more open than maybe these records might indicate for these teams. In other words, am I being sold to bill of goods here in my belief or do you think anyone can come out and find themselves playing in AFC or NFC Championship weekend.

I think there are two teams that are cut above everybody in the NFC. And I'm not going out on a limb to say this that the Egos and Lions are cut differently than the other teams that they're going to have to compete with going through the road to the NFC Championship. In the AFC, there are three teams that have kind of separated themselves from the field, and it's Buffalo. The Baltimore Ravens, despite facing a two game deficit in the division behind the Steelers, are power rated better than Pittsburgh and then Kansas City. But you mentioned the Chiefs and the way that they have won and improvable fashions. I know they're twelve and one, but you look at their point differential plus fifty six. It's the worst point differential we've ever seen for a team eleven games over five hundred in the NFL. And oftentimes, what goes up must come down. And while Patrick Mahomes no doubt has the IT factor, blocking field goals against the Denver Broncos inside of forty yards and banging field goals off the upright tonight, ain't Patrick Mahomes an IT factor. It's a little bit of Lady Luck smiling kindly upon you. And when you continue to play tight games and live on the razor's edge, even if you have the best quarterback in the game going, all it takes is a misstep here or there, and you cut off your nose to spite your face. So I think there are a handful of teams that are significantly better. I wouldn't be too worried about Buffalo defensively. This looked like more of an outlier than anything else, but it will be interesting to see how they bounce back against a well rested Lions team next week for the marquee game of the weekend with one of the largest totals that we've seen during the season, and trying to figure out which of the teams that can come from off the pace that may have a legitimate chance to play spoiler or become a de facto Cinderella with a odds longer than fifteen or twenty one.

Wow, doda, if I wanted to make it in investment, let's say a million dollar investment. What's a better investment right now? Bitcoin or the Mets to win the World Series? A very tough call, right now?

What do you think?

Yeah, in my opinion, it's a no brainer. So, but I know you're going to try and make a case as best you can for the Mets to win the World Series. Nothing like a seven hundred and sixty five million dollar contract sped over fifteen years to try and level the playing field a bit, But the Mets still not even the favorite to come out all of their own divisions.

That didn't change the odds. That didn't change they.

It changed the odds a little bit, moves them from ten to eight. But maybe this is why the Mets went out there acquired Wan Soto, because once we get the golden at bat rule, Wan Soda can come up once every inning for the Mets, and it'll make it completely worth their while, much like the old Bugs Bunny cartoon, where you play every position on the field and bats for every single spot in the battle like the.

Way you're thinking, Todd, have a great week, buddy. Thanks for starting ours off the right way.

Thanks all the pleasure boys, Thank you for having me.

That's Tod Furman joining us live from the tiraq dot com studios. All right, let's get caught up. Steve Seger is in the house with everything that has happened. Where what Steve? Everything is now a final? Is everything now a final?

Probably?

Not?

Uh? Oh, what happened? That's a yes? There he is? All right, there he is. What's going on? Steve? There we go.

And he did mention, by the way, about the Chiefs are barely outscoring somebody. Also, for a team that started twelve and one, Chiefs have by far the fewest takeaways at this point of a great season, and the entire Super Bowl era twenty takeaways at this point for a great team was low. It's only ten takeaways for the Chiefs, and yet they're getting these close games in the fourth quarter and winning all of them.

If you flipped the one score games right now, of all the teams, the Chiefs would have the number one pick in the draft. No, I'm serious, I just jeged that out. Yes, they would have the number one pick in the draft.

They've had ten of them and they've won.

All ten games decided by one score or less. Go going back, the Chiefs have won fifteen straight, which is the longest streak in the history of the league. But I mean with the takeaways, let me put it this way, ap really susted.

Out very well.

For a team that starts twelve and one, they usually average about thirty takeaways for that great season.

It's only ten for the Chiefs so far this year.

That's crazy.

So we don't know how they're doing it. We kind of do.

I mean, he wears number fifteen, but it's just amazing what is going on. A thirty one yard field goal on the final play beats the Chargers tonight nineteen to seventeen, And just to add to the entertainment factor, the field goal kick goes off the upright and through and then the Chiefs clinched the AFC West title for a ninth straight year. The Chiefs have had three different kickers now make game winning field goals as time expired in the fourth quarter this season. Butker Schrader matthew Wright, who was four for four on field goals tonight. In NFL history, he was ten years old.

That guy he was on the field though, like, did someone run on the field? Who is that guy? To get him off the field?

I think the pressure aged him tonight.

Get him off the field.

He's a kid.

He did make forty seven and fifty yarders tonight, which turned out to be a key and a two point win. But in NFL history, no other team has had more than one kicker in a single regular season do this. They've had three different guys already with the game winners as time expire.

In the fourth quarter.

And of course today in the NFL we had the Miami overtime win. Let's go, we had Detroit this weekend with the kick at the end. So we can update how many games decided by seven points or less this year. It's one hundred and twelve, which ties for the twenty sixteen season for the most such games at this point of a season in the history of the league. The Chiefs won a close game by two. The Rams won a close game slightly higher scoring by two forty four forty two. The final in La over Buffalo, which ends the Bill's seven game winning streaks. Seattle and San Francisco were each winners.

By the way. A last note on the Bills.

They're the first team in NFL history to get six touchdowns in a game and no turnovers and not win the game.

I saw that.

That's right now. Wow.

The Philadelphia Eagles won They're ninth in a row twenty two sixteen over Carolina. You mentioned the large wager Philly was losing to start the fourth quarter at home. Minnesota won at sixth in a row, beat Kirk Cousins in Atlanta forty two to twenty one as Sam Darnold had five touchdown passes. SMU and Clemson made the College Football Playoff. Alabama and Miami were not selected. Produe's new head coaches, Barry Odom from UNLV UCF introduced Scott Frost as head coach in twenty seventeen. He led Central Florida to that thirteen.

And o season.

Utah coach Kyle Whittingham says he will be back for a twenty first season there Tulane quarterback Darian Mensa plans to transfer with three years of eligibility left. In the NBA late game, the Lakers did not have Lebron James out with a sore foot. Lakers are off until Friday, and yeah, they're not in this NBA tournament that's gonna continue with quarterfinals this week, so some time off, and he took tonight off and the Lakers killed Portland anyway. Final was one oh seven ninety eight with some late scoring, but Anthony Davis thirty points. Denver's Nicola Jokic had forty eight points in a win at Denver last night. Jokic scored fifty six just last night, but they lost at Washington, a Wizard's team that had dropped sixteen in a row. Tonight, Denver shot sixty three from percent from the floor and won at Atlanta one forty one to one eleven, ending the Hawks six game winning streak. And Yes, the Mets agreed to a fifteen year deal with outfielder Juan Soto, worth seven hundred and sixty five million dollars, maybe more now it could be less if he opts out after five years, if they give him a raise and void the opt out.

It's it's more like eight hundred million back to you. Oh gosh, that's it.

I'm gonna have to go to a game now next year. Wow.

Yeah, you're gonna have to help pay your salary. I mean right, Oh my goodness, you want to hit a couple of tweets here?

You're getting a lot.

We have a lot today, so especially since we started getting into the college football playoffs. Side my guy, Mustang Mania rights, are you serious, Arnie? Before the Clemson loss, SMU had one loss, not two or three and one ten in a row, so please keep them out your mouth.

Blake.

You're right, we're gonna get crushed by Penn State. But it's fun while it lasted. Well, hold on here, Mustang Media. Yeah, I don't necessarily know that you're gonna get crushed. I think I've done a one to eighty on that in the ten minutes since I made that take. I think of all the teams that, where's my little sheet in the first round? I mean, Ohio State, Tennessee that's eight and nine. I mean, I know, it's what six and a half seven? Now, Clemson, Texas, Notre Dame, Indiana. I honestly think Penn States might be the team or SMU might be the team that could pull the upset.

That's eight and a half right now, Penn State's update and a half.

In State's eight and a half. Yeah, you might be right. Mustang Mania here, you disrespect s m U Arnie and I'll continue to disrespect them, and when they lose, I'll probably disrespect them more and win.

I would have put at a batman there. What if they win, I'll cut my arm off. There you go, good bad. I'm justid No, you're not say like, who's gonna come cut your arm off? I mean we still willard owes us an arm. Okay, so we're good on that.

And the fact that Brian No doesn't bring that up on every single show enrages me on this network.

I'm a writer, Rob jay Wright.

No, CFPCE committee should have a member who is an athletic director. And oh, by the way, eliminate all conference championships. Here's the problem. I don't disagree with you as far as the Playoff committee is concerned. I mean, but but is the everyone's like, does the eye test even really exist?

Is it still a mathematical formula? You follow it?

I'm a complete and total nerd on this stuff. You follow guys like Dave Bartwo and the College Football Made They don't buy the eye test. They say, hey, it's all a formula. They put these numbers in here by being about to boom, it's out. The future of college football conference championship games, I think is somewhat in peril.

But they make too much money. They make too much money.

Well, why do you say that it's somewhat.

In peril Because you're going to have a sixteen team playoff, right, and you're going to too so gosh, my math is so terrible. Well, that had one more potential game for each team. So you're getting up to where you'd be playing almost an NFL schedule game wise, right if you still have the championship game. So if you have twelve games in the regular season, right, you get to the actual championship game that's thirteen, right, and you're in a sixteen team playoff that's gonna be what three games?

Well, there be sixteen games.

Yeah, but you might not win all three games. You might lose in the first row.

You got to look at it from the perspective of how many maximum games.

You can play Okay, okay, that's my opment.

That's my opinion.

So they're not going anywhere because they make too much money off of them.

That's just the reality of it. And Jason B.

Diamond rights BYU gets to play Colorado in the Alamo Bowl. Really, you have so few teams to pick, two big twelve teams have to play each other.

Yeah, first time to look that up. I goes, that's right if you make a mistake on that. I did, because you know, I don't care about the other bowl games. But how's that happen?

I think it was some sort of deal that they had set up for the Alamo Bowl because they had plenty of teams to fill bowl slots. By the way, there's not a five win team that made a Bowl game. And then Bake writes Bake's on Fire tonight. Settled down about the traditional rivals, Arnie. Remember the Seahawks used to be division rivals with the Broncos in the NFL. Things change and we get used to it. Hey, that was a tough AFC West team back in the day.

Who was crying about traditional rivals?

You were, well were last segment You're like, oh, on the traditional rivals and not going to matter anymore. It's like, you know they still matter, right?

You are you worried that people aren't going to care about Ohio State and Michigan because of the playoffs.

No, I just also thought that the difference championships. I agree with the Texter. I think maybe we would have to get rid of them and just move on from that.

Well, they're not going anywhere, well, at least for now.

When we come back to the tyrack dot Com studios, let's get caught up on all the news numbers and notes of the day with Steve Disager next on Fox Sports Radio. All right, it's already in playing on the Fox Sports Sunday Live from the Tyrack dot Com Studios studios.

Sale to Steve de Sager. What's going on? Steve?

You mentioned doing very well and what a weekend for sports football specifically. And we'll start with college because you mentioned Colorado against BYU and the Alamo Bowl near the end of the month. Those two did not play each other in that conference this year. BYU did not have to schedule. BYU is scheduled to play a conference game at Colorado next year. Among the bowl matchups, I did see Oklahoma Navy in Fort Worth in late December and the Somber twenty seventh the same day.

Thank you yus CEE. SC is going to be in the Las Vegas ball games Arizona Plane in our now, No, you didn't have to go to be a douche about.

It, Ahain Steve, I'm sorry, USC, Texas, A and M in the Las Vegas Bowl Connecticut at Fenwahite Pack against North Carolina in a bowl game Boston College not in Boston at Yankee Stadium against Nebraska in late December.

Maybe I'll go to that game.

Baylor in Houston against LSU. Miami's bowl games in Orlando against Iowa State, Florida Gators in a bowl game in Tampa against Tulane. San Diego's Holiday Bowl will be on Fox TV Syracuse against Washington State December twenty seventh. I noticed Coastal Carolina's bowl game is in its own home stadium against UDSA.

I don't know there's much travelers there. Yeah, can't believe it.

And yes, in Tampa we'll get Alabama Michigan on December thirty first, same day we'll get South Carolina in Orlando against Illinois. Now SMU is into the College Football Playoff. SMU opens its postseason at Penn State. Clemson opens at Texas on Saturday, the twenty first. Number one ranked Oregon is all off until it's Rose Bowl quarterfinal. The Rose Bowl will be Oregon against the winner of Tennessee at Ohio State, which will be played in a couple weeks. And Number two Georgia is off until it's Sugar Bowl quarterfinal New Year's Night, and that'll be Georgia against the winner of Indiana at Notre Dame, which will be a Friday night game in about two weeks. I believe those two have only played once since the nineteen fifties, even though they're both in Indiana, so I invite that Tonight. The Kansas City Chiefs clinch the AFC West title for a ninth straight year. Belichick's Patriots had won a division title eleven straight years through twenty nineteen. If you're looking for a longest streak, but we had the highest scoring game of the NFL season today in La Rams forty four Buffalo forty two. The final we had Philadelphia extend to a nine game winning streak. Detroit's Thursday Night win was the lions eleventh straight victory. We also had the Josh Allen day. I can't skip over that first player in NFL history to have three touchdown passes and three touchdown runs in the same game and he didn't win. Rams win by two. Bill's seven game winning streak is over Allen had three hundred and forty two yards passing and on the ground ten carries and eighty two yards.

Wow.

The Jets are officially out of the playoff chase. So this is fourteen straight seasons they have missed the playoffs. That is the longest active streak. The Steelers, essentially before Terry Bradshaw had gone twenty four straight years without playoffs, and the old Saint Louis Cardinals through nineteen seventy four had gone twenty five.

Street Mu's easier now to make the playoffs.

This, yes, absolutely, absolutely it is and people need to mention that more when some of these stats get get mentioned, because my goodness, it's seven per conference. I know we've had expansion at all, but it's seven per conference that make it. San Francisco is not out beat Chicago.

Today. San Francisco hosts the Rams Thursday May good stuff. Thanks Steve, Thanks all right?

Next week? Get it all?

No? No, I got there.

That's enough.

I had to give myself a little break. I got a lot of stuff going on this week.

Oh you do? Plus?

What know I got on my Hollywood elite friends are in the studio, and I'm sure I'm gonna have to be doing stuff for my new TV show coming up soon.

And I think you need to stop claiming it's your show.

I think you're I'm sure other people are gonna be involved also, I just I'm more sure. I'm more excited about you know who. My new Hollywood friends are gonna be like like Ben a Flack, I'm gonna have to make time to come out to LA and see the guys and hang out with them.

You're not leaving your house even if you become famous. I want to.

I'm gonna call you from Snoop's house and go, hey, I'm with Snoop right now. Don't worry. I'm not inhaling. But we're watching the game right now, watching this.

You can inhale now. By the way, as our our our loyal listener. Sooner, Lisa points out, yes, Snoop is a Steelers.

Fan, Arnie. He will not put up with your Miami Shenanigans.

Wow, are you.

Gonna suddenly bandwagon to the Steelers?

No, then I won't watch the game with Snoop. Then we can't do that. I'm sorry, step I can't be friends with him.

After a week fourteen, I know this. Let's get after. We got a lot that we learned today. We got a lot still to get to on the program, Arnie's picture right around the corner. Whose season was saved, whose season came to an end? Arniere, would you like to start with week fourteen and what you learn and what we know?

Well, what I learned is when I keep telling you every week, or at least the last couple of weeks, and you've fought me on this, but it turned out to be true. It's not going to be a great race for the wild card in the AFC. I think Denver's gonna have it done. It's gonna be the Colts in Miami trying to catch everybody else to Miami has a thirteen percent chance they lose the tiebreaker to the Colts. The Colts only have like a twenty or twenty two chance. I think we already know the teams that are going to be in the AFC. For the most part, there's just gonna be some you know, juggling around and where they're going to be seeded. So not a lot of great races wildcard wise in the AFC. NFC A little bit of a different story when the Rams are number eight and trying to catch the Commanders. But if the Commanders keep on that same pace, might be the same problem. Maybe the six and seven teams won't be able to catch the Commanders because they're two games behind in the Lost commum.

Right now, I think, I think my personal favorite part in all of this is you trying to tell me a you told me whenever I've been sitting here begging you not to think your Dolphins are in the playoff picture. But yet you still fuck with me for most of the first hour to say they were.

I go on thirteen percent. Hands, I got to give myself a little bit hope. Actually, I looked up to one said twenty six, one said thirteen. I'm gonna think thirteen percent chance. But it is gonna be It is gonna be very tough for.

Miami to do it.

Yes, if not, even if they win, go ten and seven. I don't think they have a good chance of making I told you that even you have to you have to go eleven and six. Remember when I said down a couple of weeks ago. Now even ten and seven, you're not going.

Yeah, I don't remember that much all right, so after you barely remember what you talked about in the first hour. Yeah, but I remember that fighting me over the Dolphins. I come with some audio help here too. Oh after week fourteen, I know this, the Eagles are rolling, but there's there's trouble in them waters in Philadelphia right now. Listen to AJ brown little frustration afterwards today a little bit.

What are some things you think they need to think that the offense needs to improve on that I'm passing.

Hey, j I know everybody wants to.

Get in a rhythm, and you cant here this anology. You know, the receivers, just like running backs, want to get in rhythm.

How hard is it as a receiver to get into.

A rhythm when you guys only throwing the book.

At twenty times?

Incredibly So, I'll save you the rest, Jim, because again the audio is totally overmatched by the incredible jam in the background right now.

But when he asks what the problem is passing?

I would ask how difficult it is to get in sync whenever they're not throwing you the football?

He said, incredibly difficult.

Here's what Jalen Hurts had to say about Aj Brown not getting the football enough.

There's more to this.

I'm solving anything.

Everybody has a reason and to want more, you know, it's a fair desire of being in food and as to what we can be because we've done it.

Just got to build, gotta progress, have to.

Find a way to come together and come and sink as a unit and play complimentary ball.

So you say no problem here with the Eagles and their concerns over throwing the football, the lacks of a passing game right now.

No, I'm not saying I think it's a bubbling issue already.

I'm not saying no problem. I just don't make it as big as you know what, If you're asking me who has a bigger problem, Philadelphia or Kansas City, I would say definitely Kansas City.

Well, okay, the bigger problem.

If you're asking me who has a chance to get upset first, I would say Kansas City before Philadelphia. Though there are pretty close. They're very close similarities in these two teams, are they not?

Or what they are? Do you know where the Eagles rank as far as passing offense is concerned.

Now, this is yards. This is yards passing this season out of thirty two NFL teams. You know where they rank? This is also yards per game?

What twenty eighth, thirty first?

Wow, they're thirty first in the NFL in yards per game.

And yards passing?

So how are they winning nine in a row? What's Kansas City in the in that stat?

Let's see Kansas City. Well, what's interesting is the Bengals are number one, right, so that nothing. They're about fourteen Kansas Okay?

So are we so I mean, are we trying to say that's that is meaningless? Or the quarterback doesn't that that big of a meaning for how good the team's gonna play, or that we talk about their defenses like, I don't know what that's. I don't what I mean something to win all those games in a row and and have be so far down at number thirty one, I.

Will say this, I don't know what it means. I really don't accept this. They're not very good throwing the football. I mean, it's just the reality of it. They're only if you're two yards per game worse than the Bears, Titans, and Giants. I mean the Panthers and the Colts are ahead of them, for goodness sakes.

I mean, if I'm playing Philadelphia, I'm putting eleven in the box and then I'm running two more people on the field just in case, and everybody's in the box, and I'm gonna say, Okay, you throw it. I dare you. I'm gonna treat you like Navy football or whatever. I'm gonna you either throw it or you're gonna keep running into my guys. I'm the only way I have to do it otherwise where they can open.

It up on the flip side of it. Do you know who the best pass defense is in the NFL?

Philadelphia?

That's right. I knew it. I knew And they're also they're number two in the NFL.

I'm sorry, they're number two in the NFL against the pass, number one total defense overall, and I think they're top ten.

I don't.

This doesn't have numbers next to their rankings, because why would you you want to make us all count them. They're eighth in the NFL against the run, and as far as points are concerned, they are the fourth best team in the NFL. So their offense isn't necessarily explosive, but they're not making a bunch of mistakes and killing them, so times wins championships.

I guess is what you're saying.

Well, if you don't turn the ball over, Now, if you have an offense, it turns the football over and leaves you on the field for double the amount of time of possession as the other team, then yeah, you're probably gonna get screwed regardless of how good your defense is, ARENI You're gonna be hosed on that front, right, So again, after week fourteen, I don't know what to make of it, but I'm keeping an eye on the issues that are currently taking place with Philadelphia's passing offense after offensive attack through the air.

After Week fourteen, I know this, I've never seen more disrespect to at eleven and two team. Then we give them Minnesota five kicks? I just do we believe that.

I'm sorry, Eric said we're not allowed to talk about him.

Eric can't spell his name correctly, says that we can't talk about them anymore.

We're like, we can't. You know, there's Sam Darnold's no good. They're doing the smoking mirrors? How good really are they?

Not?

Only they're winning and they're doing it by a more than one score. I just hope believe we give a loven and two team like that no respect whatsoever?

Well, I mean again, how many teams have they beaten this year with the record of five hundred?

Are better? They're kind of like the Dolphins of last year.

Yeah only, I mean, and again, maybe that's a little bit unfair because at the time they beat the Niners in Week two, we thought the Niners are going to be really good. But they have wins over the Texans and the Packers, right, and that's it.

But those are good wins. Right. They went to Green Bay and beat Green Bay.

But they won six straight games now and not a single one of the teams they've beat as a record over five hundred Colts, Jaguars, Titans, Bears, Cardinals, Falcons.

I guess, so, yeah, exactly. I love that.

But I'm with you on them. I like them.

I don't think they're doing anything in the playoffs. I would get all my trash talk out of the way, Boss Scott Shapiro's big Vikings fan, Eric with an a big Vikings fan, I would get that all out of the way.

Now. I'd be letting everyone know how good you are at this moment.

Oh, it's not the Purple people leaders out there, that's for sure.

Yeah.

And by the way, I know that you were very anti their defensive coordinator, your former coach of the Miami Dolphins. I know we try to set up some sort of controversy earlier this year between Brian Flores and Tua.

He's done a pretty damn good job as a defensive coordinator there.

I'll say that, Hey, after Week fourteen, I know this, and it does kind of pain me to say it. I think the Raiders are cursed, Arnie. I think they're absolutely positively cursed. There's no other way to put it. There's no other way around it. They're just a cursed franchise. Like I see my man Brendan Brendan textas every tweets at us every.

Single Sunday, and I feel his pain because that's my guy. He's a fellow Raiders fan. I see Jason tweets out us every single Sunday night. Pain Pain, Arnie. They're just I think they're a cursed franchise.

Yeah, but you got the game coming to begin.

I have no idea what he was gonna say.

The number one seed, right, say it again, you cut out the game against Jacksonville. If you lose that game, you'llfit. We have the number one seed.

We play Jacksonville.

Yeah, you have Jacksonville coming up, don't there?

You go, all right, we'll better lose that one. They got Falcons next Monday night. Then they got Jacksonville, New Orleans and Chargers. Now, if I was a real fan, I would tell you those looks like that looks like four winnable games. That looks like four winnable games. No, no, no, no, those are four games that I need to see this team lose. And you know what, I'm gonna be honest with you. I wouldn't be mad if Antonio Pierce came back next year. He's not going to He's gonna get fired.

Why do you get fired? I thought if he was gonna get fired, to be for Dion, But Dion makes it sound like he's the going there.

Well, why do you think it would be for Dion? Who's making the calls for the Raiders?

Now Tom Brady, I don't know.

Yes, why would he hire anyone but a Patriots dude? He might try to hire Josh McDaniels again, for goodness sakes, they're not gonna hire Deon. Dan's not gonna be an NFL coach next year. I think he's gonna stay with the Buffaloes. I really truly believe that. I don't think he cares about coaching his kid in the NFL. I think he wants his kid to be in a good situation, which is why I think he likes Antonio Piers, which could save his job and the Raiders. But I don't think it's gonna save Pierce's job. So yeah, we're curised darning. After week fourteen, I finally accepted it.

You will get better with Sanders, though he's gonna make you a lot.

I'm not counting out cam Ward. I'm not counting out cam Ward either. I think he's a really good quarterback if he ends up with the Giants. I think the Giants got a good one too.

I'm okay with the Ward. I just don't think he's as good as Sanders. I'm definitely. I don't think it's one eight one b. I think it's a one in a two and sure do is going to be my number one pick.

All right?

Anything else you want to add after week fourteen or what you learned this weekend?

No, it's just that you know the separation you're starting to see out there, and you know we're not We're not seeing some good matchups. They wanted to go ahead and you know, flex out some games, but they really couldn't because they couldn't get any other good matchups in those spots, you know, are.

You talking about it the primetime stuff?

No, like these Sunday night games? And are the Monday night time games?

Aren't you? That's literally what I just said, though you.

Meant like the one o'clock in the four o'clock Sundays?

Is that prime time? Oh?

Would you relax yourself? You get you got the Raiders. Just go right to your brain now.

I literally said the primetime games, and you're like, no, no, no, not the primetime games, the primetime games.

So what you don't think we're getting good enough? Man? You didn't think that was a good game tonight?

Tonight was a good game. Tonight was a good matchup. Yes, we had a good one tonight.

You don't you don't like next week's matchup? Do you know what next week's matchup is? You're complaining about. You're complaining about primetime matchups. So you don't even know the damn primetime matchup.

It's the Cowboys, isn't it.

No, it's not.

The Cowboys. Don't play primetime next.

Week, they don't play on Sunday night. It's your worthless producer's favorite football team. That's right.

Someone else, Packers, Seahawks.

Well, I guess your idea of primetime. It's noon on it's noon Central Time, so that's primetime. In Arnie's world. They play the Panthers next week, so that's primetime.

Right. Why are you complain about these primetime matchups? That's a great that's two good teams.

That's a really good matchup. And we have what a double Monday night game your Raiders play on the Monday night.

Oh, the Monday night games suck next weekend.

You just got done. Tell me how great the primetime games are.

Sunday night game, You're not gonna hit them all. You got sixteen games, they're gonna be played next weekend. Your Thursday night games not too bad either, Rams Niners after what I just saw from the Rams, and you're building them up earlier.

We could do better on matchups. I keep saying. The Monday night games are horrible matchups?

All right? Good stuff? That is what we learned through Week fourteen.

Like so frustrated with it.

I just I get so angry at you because you say something and I don't think you know what you're saying. I don't You're about time matchups, and they're great matchups.

I'm gonna say the opposite, just the big plague, just go.

Great Broncos and Chargers.

Is the Thursday night game in a in not this coming week, but in a week that's like.

The Packers Seahawks. I don't even think that's a great matchup.

What are you talking about?

He doesn't watch the NFL, He watches the rest. It's not Dolphins football.

It's not the Miami Dolphins.

So it doesn't matter right now, is what it basically comes down to. Well, then let me let me get let me ask you a question. Then if if two teams playing each other next Sunday night that are both in the play and I mean both are right there in the hunt, not just for a playoff spot with their division, you got eight and five verses nine and four, INCA. That's not good enough for you.

No, that's okay. You know the Monday night games are horrible.

Okay, it's okay.

Nothing is ever good enough for him.

You get the Bills and the Lions that CBS is like, that's our game. You get the Steelers in the Eagles next week. Fox is like, that's our game. No Monday night games of the.

Bills and the Lions would have been a good Sunday night game. That would have been nice.

But you've got to also take care of your afternoon slot. You gotta take care of CBS and Fox too. You just can't give everything to primetime.

No, I understand that that would have been a better matchup though if I was doing this Sunday night.

Oh my gosh. After Week fourteen. I'll add one more thing here. I know this, I know that day don't play until Monday night football. But I'm glad people are actually starting to realize how incredible Joe Burrow's season has been in the face of absolute adversity. I don't know what's going wrong for the Bengals this season, but and he's not going to be in the MVP picture, But I am glad people are starting to realize how impressive his season is pinned. And I'll tell you this much, Arnie, I don't necessarily know if anyone's running away with the MVP right now, even though six touchdowns today, three rushing, three throwing, eve though it's getting lost right now, pretty damn impressive right now for Josh Allen. But numbers wise, man, what a year for Joe Burrow so far. I know it's not a massive matchup. It's the Cowboys, so we'll do big numbers. Cincinnati's a five and a half point favorite. But I'm excited to see what Burrow can do on Monday Night football. They can't try to save something for the Bengals anything else from week fourteen for you.

No, that's a beautiful matchup. Good primetime matchup on that one too. Way to point that one out. I just want to throw that in there.

Right literally, you thought a primetime matchup was three in the afternoon, All right? When we come back to the tyrack dot com studio, So let's hit your tweets next. Right here on Fox Sports Radio, Cowbird does point out on the x plank you think the Raiders are cursed? How about being a Browns fan? Can you guys at least won a playoff game a couple of years ago. You're it's your own fault, you guys. Put it on Baker Mayfield. I mean, that's your problem.

I have a number. I have a good number for you.

What's that?

I don't know if you saw I retweeted this out. I can't I can't do it all because I don't want to just go through a whole bunch of names, but nineteen ninety, Listen to these names, Okay, nineteen ninety Eddie Murray, Don matting Leandre Dawson, Dave Winfield, Tim Raines, Dale Murphy, Pedro Guerrero, Darryl Strawberry, Dave Steve, Daveorghetti, Bruce Souter, George Brett, Willie McGee, Bruce Hurst, Olan, Ryan, Carnie glands For, Dad Quisenberry, Tony Gwynn, Kirk Gibson, and a few other more. Those were the top twenty five players in baseball. You had them all up, they don't come out to the fifty one million that what Soto's making of this year. How about that? That's that was the top twenty five back in nineteen ninety.

Fifteen years, seven hundred and sixty five million dollars. There's an opt out after five seasons for Soto.

Well, think of the top salary Eddie Murray two point seven million.

So that was was he with the Brat, was he so with the Oriols? Or was he with Dodgers? By the Dodgers?

Dodgers. So that's that's only thirty four years ago to go from two point seven million to fifty one million.

Wow.

Wow, I love that Dodgers team. By the way, that was one of my favorite Dodgers teams out sixteen years old.

What nineteen ninety Dodgers?

Well, I thought you said ninety one.

Oh whatever, yeah, ninety ninety one.

Whatever. It's a difference between Brett Butler being on the team and him not. Brett Butler was a center fielder. You know, we played wiffle ball a lot whenever we were kids, not like you kids in your iPads today.

And Cal Daniels was the Dodgers left fielder, and he had a very unique stance I'm doing it right now where he would like stand straight up kind of wave that bat right one. Samuell was a Dodger in nineteen ninety, Arnie, did you know that nineteen ninety.

One Philly wasn't he want Samuell?

No, ex everything.

What are you talking about with walk? What team didn't he play for? In fact, you were trying to make this the nineteen ninety Dodgers. You gotta remember Wan Samuell went from being the center fielder in nineteen ninety to be in the starting second basement in nineteen ninety one. It's like they were doing all the things then that they're doing now. Let's go the ace on the nineteen ninety one Dodger Staff, Tim Belcher, Yeah, good, Wow. Anything else you want to know about the nineteen nine that's about.

That's about everything.

I do.

You think that's about when I fell out of love with baseball. Mantam Finnis rights. The Vikings didn't choose their schedule or their opponents. They are just going out there and winning, whether it's ugly or not.

Artie is right.

They're just like Rodney Dangerfield. Can't get no respect around here, playing and simple, they win.

I can see how Viking fans feel like that, Chris. They right now they have the best chance of reaching a super Bowl in a long long time.

This could be their year. Enjoy it now. That's all I'll say.

Josh Wright's next week Colts in Denver. If Colts win, they'll take the seventh seat. Look at each team's remaining schedule.

I think you're the.

Man who's got a fairly easy one. I don't have it up in front of me, but I think it's somewhat easy if I remember.

As it stands right now, as far as the when we get to football, I want to say Western Conference all the time for the AFC. But as it stands right now, the Colts sit at six and seven, same as the Dolphins, two games back of the eight and five Chargers, Ravens, Broncos, Texans obviously are more of the division.

Here's what the Colts have left.

Broncos next week, Oh my gosh, Arnie, then the Titans, the Giants, and the Jaguars.

You can't pick an easier schedule with Broncos. They couldn't play the Raiders three times. I don't understand.

Originally not Bronco's. On the other hand, you said they had a pretty easy schedule.

I thought they did.

Okay, you tell me how you feel about this.

Colts at the Chargers at the Bengals home for the Chiefs. Wrong about that one, but you might be right about the Chiefs. What will the Chiefs have to play for on January fifth?

Anything?

Still, that's a tough go on.

So Denver's got a tough go around on January fifth to go up against Carson Wentz and the Chiefs at home. Because Mahomes is out and Kelsey's out and Chris Jones is gonna sit out.

I mean, as it stands right now, the Chiefs might not have to play their starters for the last.

Two weeks of the season. They still will, They still will. But I guess my point is I'm trying to have you back on this one a little bit. It might be a little easier than it looks right now.

Is that looking good for Miami to get in after what that schedule for the Colts is, that's for sure?

And they're so the Colts.

Dude, Josh, you might be onto something so much for you saying that it's over so much for that Arnie huh.

And then one more here the.

Man Brendan rights idea to fix the college football playoff. Make it so that the conference champs are only guaranteed a spot in the playoff, and not the first round by they have to earn the first round by by being one of the top four teams in the.

Nation after the regular season.

Oh, I agree, Well a white man, Wait a minute, then, if you have to win the conference championship to earn a bye, right, is that what he's saying.

Well, you have to be a top four seed is basically what he's saying.

Well, then you're going to give it to teams that didn't want to finish second in the SEC.

Then maybe they're the better teams. Okay.

I'm not against that. I just wanted them to realize what he's saying, though.

You have to earn the first round by by being one of the top four teams in the nation after the regular season.

Could you be in the top four in the regular nation if you don't win your conference championship? I guess you.

Yeah.

Texas was three in the College Football Playoff Franklins today and Penn State was four. Yep, which, by the way, I still don't know how Penn State was four.

Okay, can you explain that to me?

I felt they were great. I didn't think I didn't expect them to be there, but I was cut by surprise on that.

Yeah.

And if you're wondering what we're talking about, because the playoff seedings, Oregon's one, Georgia's is two, Texas is five, and Penn State is six, followed by Notre Dame at seven, Ohio State at eight, Tennessee at nine, and Indiana at ten.

What were you thought the numbers? You thought Penn State should be at seven? In Notre Dame in six.

No, no, no, I'm talking about the actual rankings when they gave them out. Oregon was one, Georgia was two, Texas was three, Penn State was four, with Notre Dame at five. Like, make it make sense. It just makes because three and four were the other conference champions, right, exactly right, so Texas was at three. I just make it makes sense? Just no sense whatsoever? All right here to make sense for us? One final time tonight is the great Steve de Seger with everything that's trending in the world of sports. What's going on, Steve, And.

As we mentioned earlier in the show, Number one organ is off until it's Rose Bowl quarterfinal. Number two Georgia is off until it's Sugar Bowl quarterfinal. Also getting first round byes today, conference champions Boise State it'll be in the Fiesta Bowl New Year's Eve, and Arizona State, which is won six in a row, it'll be in the Peach Bowl. And as far as the AFC playoff chase, those four teams that are eight and five right now, that those could be the last four teams into the postseason. No Colts, no Dolphins. Colts and Dolphins reached two games back. And keep in mind, for Miami, Colts have already beaten the Dolphins head to this yright exactly. So yeah, Miami won an overtime game.

They're gonna need some help.

I mentioned earlier in the show that the Ravens a couple Monday nights ago did beat the Chargers head to head. That's why the Ravens have the five seed right now and the Chargers down to six after tonight's loss. Chargers versus Broncos head to head in LA on a Thursday night game in a week and a half. That game was flexed from a Sunday to a Thursday night. So good luck to all of you people pining tickets that thinking you were going to a weekend game. Now you have to go on a workday at five o'clock near the LA Airport. There's no traffic whatsoever, none, zero.

Good luck.

The Chiefs beat the Chargers tonight nineteen to seventeen on a thirty one yard field goal on the final play in typical Chiefs fashion, it to hit the upright and then went through Matthew Wright four for four on field goals. Wide receiver Lad mcconkee of LA was out with a knee and shoulder problem. Chargers in the first half had six drives, six first downs, and then after halftime their first two drives two touchdowns. Chargers had the late lead, but a fourteen play drive ended the game for the Chiefs. They took up the last four to thirty five on the clock, kicked a field goal to win nineteen to seventeen. And then there's the final score. In La Rams forty four Buffalo forty two. Rams had been up thirty one to fourteen in the third quarter. The Bill's seven game winning streak is over Matthew Stafford three hundred twenty yards passing two touchdowns. In Stafford's last four games, He's up to ten touchdowns no interceptions. Rams had a touchdown in the first half on a block punt return and wound up winning by two. Seattle won at Arizona thirty to eighteen. Kyler Murray has lost seven straight head to head against Seattle. This Seahawks could be winning this division. Somebody has to. Seattle is five and one on the road this year. San Francisco completely dominated the Bears in the first half. Is twenty four to nothing at the break, thirty eight to thirteen the Final. Chicago has lost seven straight. Caleb Williams was sacked seven times, one fumble. He's been sacked fifty six times this year. We still get a few games to go. In the first half, San Francisco out gained them three hundred and nineteen yards to four. Bears had one first down in the first half. Today they are still winning on the road. Oh and six. And then there's the New York Giants. They are winless at home this season.

Oh and seven.

Now lost at home to the Saints fourteen eleven. And yes, quarterback Derek Carr the Saints with a possible broken left hand and concussion. New Orleans blocked a field goal in the final seconds, a thirty five yard attempt fourteen eleven The final. Giants have lost eight straight. Overall, they committed twelve penalties today. Quarterback Drew Locke started oh of eight passing in the first quarter. Jacksonville had lost five in a row, but won a ten to six final at Tennessee Tank bigsby a touchdown run with about seven minutes left. It was the only touchdown of the whole game. Jacksonville in the first half ten carries nine yards rushing and mac Jones had thrown two interceptions and they still wind up winning. Las Vegas has lost nine in a row. Lost at Tampa Bay twenty eight to thirteen. In the first quarter. It was first downs eleven to one for the Bucks, yardage one fifty four to fourteen the Raiders eventually Baker Mayfield three touchdowns and three turnovers. Las Vegas quarterback Aidan O'Connell was carted off late third quarter with a knee injury. In an air cast, he had one costly red zone interception that ended a ten minute drive to open the second half.

He threw it right to him. He threw it right to the dude disager. I threw my remote when that happened.

Suck.

The Raiders on red zone tds were one for four today. But oh my gosh, on the positive side, there is none. They had only had five takeaways all year, worse than the league. They had three in the first half against Baker Mayfield today thanks BA. Of course, they had a couple more turnovers, So that's twenty five turnovers for the Raiders.

So for bad Steve thinks count.

Minnesota won at six straight forty two to twenty one, beating Kirk Cousins in Atlanta, Sam Darnold five touchdown passes, three to Jordan Addison, two to Justin Jefferson. Did you know Justin Jefferson is already up to seven thousand career receiving yards. Wow, seventy three games, seven thousand career receiving yards. It took Lance all where seventy two games. By the way, the Hall of Famer AFL receiver for the Chargers, which is doubly impressive because you can hit the receiver all the way down the field back then, and he was still putting up numbers. The Miami win was in overtime against the Jets thirty two to twenty six. Jets had a field goal in the last minute of regulation for a brief lead. Dolphins tied it with a fifty two yard field goal late in regulation, got the game winning touchdown pass on the only drive of overtime.

See this is what you're missing about that tiebreaker. The Colts win the division, Houston drops back to the wild card And wait a minute, and Miami plays the Texans this week. If they beat them, they'll get the tiebreaker over the Texans. That's how you do it.

But of the non division winners in the AFC, the Ravens are looking the best because right now five versus four, that means the five seed Ravens will be playing the worst division winner as it stands right.

Now if they make it. Yes, I will note as far as the you.

Have a hard schedule if I remember correctly, but I could be wrong.

Correctly, that could be good. That could be that sense right there? Whose schedule is in together?

They got the Giants, the Steelers, the Texans in the Browns. Okay, it's not that tough. It's I'm wrong again now about that.

As I recall, but I could be wrong.

That could apply to pretty much anything everything anyway, Can I note? As the Jets lost in overtime at Miami, Aaron Rodgers had had thirty four straight starts with under three hundred yards passing over the last three years until today.

Yeah, I was congratulations. Defense.

The Mets did agree to a fifteen year deal with outfielder Juan Soto. My goodness, college hoops Missouri beat number one Kansas.

Back to you, Thanks Steve, have a great week, buddy, Thanks you. Next Sunday, is there any I noticed here? I think we've hit most of the Roman numerals right, what we learned at We.

Didn't even put Kirk Kurbstreet's Sun signed with Michigan if anybody cares.

I saw that, especially after the Bryce Senderwood stuff where he got what twelve million dollars. Yeah.

My thinking is maybe Chase is into it for the four year run and the other one is only going to stay around a year or two and try to go to the NFL, or two or three years and go to the NFL.

I think he hates his dad, so he's going to Michigan. To put it in his face, they'd be like my son going to like Texas.

I'm like, what are you doing? Kid?

He looks at me and goes, I want to win. Dad like shut up? But no, I yeah, that threw me off a little bit. I didn't I didn't know he was that good.

To be honest, I don't know that he is.

Well, he's going to Michigan.

I mean is.

Why would you go to a place where it seems like to have Okay, hold on, let me pause for a moment, because I just almost said why would you go to a place where it appears that they have a set starter when now almost a decade ago. That's what Baker Mayfield did when he went to Oklahoma. So maybe I need to check myself on that one a little bit. But I'm gonna say, why would you go to place where they feel like they have a set starter?

Arnie? Why would you do that.

Because he thinks he's not going to be in there for the entire four years?

Who would you vote for? Heisman? Would hit Arnie Spaniards?

Vote for heist from Boise? I would give it to him.

Would you?

Yeah?

I submitted my vote tonight.

Oh did you?

Yeah?

By the way, vote you can't tell us who you voted for.

You're right, I can't. But I voted for gent number one. What number one in the rushing attempts yards, yards from scrimmage, touchdowns, touchdowns from scrimmage, total touchdowns, total points. And he was part of a top five offense every week that he went up against. Every team that he played, their number uber one goal was to stop him, right and they couldn't do it.

Played well against Oregon.

He's going to break the single season rushing record potentially. So yeah, I like him a lot.

So I'm going to get a great steal with him because with the overvalue of quarterbacks, says, those two are the first two picks you got, Hunter, you always want to take. Maybe there's a couple of wide receivers that are going to be taking you know, reached on so you can get this this kid, like the eight, nine or ten pick I keep.

Now, you know I am already all in on the draft, right I know that. Of course I'm already nerded out. There is a buzz that he could be a top five pick. Oh really, can you imagine a running back going in the top five? The analytic people would lose it loving.

Mind, like number nine or number ten is what I was hearing.

By the way, there's plausible deniability if you guys try to clip this and say, look, Chris Plank is telling you his vote. I just I just said I had him on my ballot. I had three choices there. I didn't say who I picked my vote. But right now I was looking at tankethon Am as a top ten pick, aren't you I think he's going to go in the top five?

Wait, you have a Heisman vote? Yes, I didn't know that.

I told you it before that I was talking to you about him.

I'm the only one that doesn't have a vote for anything.

And let's keep it that way.

Yeah, I'm asking you, well, I had who's to say I've submitted it yet.

I really didn't know you had to vote though, because tomorrow.

Turners in. You should get yours taken away.

You should have the people that listen.

It's a great balance between not putting too much on Championship weekend and having Championship weekend as a gauge. Right when when you have a running back like Gent that UNLV had shut down earlier this year, and by shutting down, he still ran for over one hundred yards and he goes for.

Over two bills against him, I mean, come on.

Arnie, that's that's your dude right there, especially when and by the way, Dylan Gabriel not getting enough Heisman love for what he's done this year, not enough, and Shad Door Sanders everyone's losing their mind over Travis Hunter. Dude, look at your Door's numbers. And I'm not just saying that because he's a future Raider, Arnie. He's worthy of Heisman conversations.

Oh, absolutely worthy of it. But I'd still give it to.

Yeah, I still think in the end it is gonna end up being Travis Hunter is the guy that's that's got the big numbers right now.

But do not rule out Ashton Genty. I think he's got a chance to win.

This thing because but by the time we reconvene next weekend, well, another winner.

Of the Heisman Trophy.

Oh rightow, they'll announce it next Saturday night.

That's true, all right, when we come back to the tyrack dot com studios. I don't know if it's still after he is what two and six performance this weekend in college football?

I don't know if it's still what you dont care for? One to three?

I'm sorry, but Arnie's picks are coming up next on Fox Sports Radio, So I gotta know Arnie throughout the show tonight, where Mary Matt crushed it, where Patrick Swaka was incredible, Steve de Seger was on point on updates, yes, and are behind the scenes audio crew gave un incredible audio. Were you just wearing out your Hollywood friend asking her like, Hey, that's not good?

Happy? Is it gonna be the Arnie Show? Were you just wearing them out?

I wanted to find out more stuff about it.

Yeah, go ahead, Mary, before he lies to you. He was he was.

He was definitely and forth. You know, this is gonna be a big figure for me. You know, it's not too many times. I could become television famous where they're writing a TV show about me and I could hang out with people like Matt Damon and Ben Aflac and Snoop and but again those guys.

Is it the Arnie Spaniers show starring Arnie Spaniard. I mean, that's the only way you're gonna end up in that kind of position.

I don't know.

If they want to use me as Arnie Spaniard, that's the problem.

Then how are you gonna have Hollywood friends?

I could have a recurring role and.

Say, okay, there you go, there's a there's a possibility.

Yeah, I could have that. I don't know if they believe that I'm a talk show host, that could be your problem. I don't know if I can play a talk I don't know if I can play a talk show host on TV.

But like, are you sure you want to be like a washed up Hollywood person? You cause your point, you know, they have their ups and downs. You'll end up I don't know, like Britney Spears, but.

You said you feel that they feel confident they're gonna get this on TV, right.

You know why.

I don't know why you're repeating things that said off air.

On you listen, we got to get to your picks, Arnie. You only got a couple of minutes left, So take it away. Where do you want to start?

Obviously there's no college, so we'll start with the game tomorrow. I'm gonna take Dallas plus the five and a half at home again Cincinnati. I think that's some good value there. One game, Chris. You know what that one game in college is, don't you. That's right? Take an Army wall in five and a half. Why you're an Army guy, I know that, right.

I forgot to mention while you say that, I actually, uh may or not have bryceon daily on my Heisman ballot.

He's the quarterback for Army. He's a stud.

Wow. I would have taken Miami Dolphins plus the two and a half at Houston will give me the Lions laying two and a half against the Buffalo Bills. And I love the Pittsburgh Steelers plus four and a half on the road in Philadelphia. Take it on the Eagles. So there you have my pigs. Two of them as you please. No longer strictly Fred Entertainment purposes only.
