The Ravens have a situation, and it's a situation. I never thought that we would be addressing. Justin Tucker has not been good and you can make a case he might be recognized as the greatest kicker in NFL history. Certainly with accuracy, but not with big kicks. Nobody is better than Adam Vinti in winning big games, but Justin Tucker consistency. But now we have an issue. We say good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. Our radio affiliates around the country, your phone calls coming up as well. So John Harbaugh met with the media and he was asked about Justin Tucker, who has struggled this year, struggled mightily, and not just long kicks. He's struggling with extra points, short kicks. And he was asked about do you bring in some competition at the kicking position.

And he was asked about do you bring in some competition at the kicking position.

No, there's no thought to that. I mean, you have to find that competition first. Just if you're going to be blunt about it, you know, where is that competition? That would be one thing. And the best option right now is to get Justin you know, back on point where he's because he's fully capable of doing it. Certainly haven't lost any confidence in Justin Tucker. You know, you saw that on the fifty four yarder we sent him out for and he drilled it. So that's the Justin Tucker that he wants to see, that we all want to see on every kick, and he's definitely our best option.

Paul, do you have Justin Tucker's numbers there this season?

Paul, do you have Justin Tucker's numbers there this season?

Like you said, from under forty, he's still spotless like he's always been his entire career. But if you go back ten years ago, he kind of broke out. In twenty sixteen, he was ten of ten from fifty plus, which put him on the map first team All Pro. Last year he was one of five from fifty plus, so this is not kind of new. And this year he's three of seven from fifty plus, which was his thing. They used to say, like if they get into the thirty eight yard line. The Ravens are set and now that's no longer.

The case, and it's hard to make a name for yourself as a kicker, and a lot of times, you know, you live in infamy of oh that's the kicker who you know. Go back to garrow Yepremian who played for the Dolphins and they played the Redskins then Redskins in the Super Bowl and he tried to throw a pass Mike Bass ended up picking it off, taking it back. I think the final score was fourteen to seven. But you remember him for things like that. Scott Norwood, you remember him for the miss, but being a quarter of being a kicker and being remembered in a positive way. Like Adam Vinti. I don't know what his regular season numbers are were. I just know game on the line, that's the guy I wanted to kick. Mark Moseley is remembered. He's a kicker. He won the MVP I think that was maybe nineteen eighty two with the then Redskins because they were the highest scoring team and they gave it to a kicker. It's really hard to stand out, and it feels like in today's NFL, everybody's making well, you had a sixty four yarder last night taken off the board, by the way, But it just seems like they've gotten to a point where it's too easy, and now you've got Justin Tucker. It's not too easy. And you'll have players who talk about, you know, the yips. We've seen the yips in baseball where Chuck Naublock can't throw it at the first base, or Steve Sachs can't do it, or Mackie Sassler can't throw it back to the pitcher. Golfers talk about that as well, the yips. I don't know if kickers have the yips, but certainly seems like that with Justin Tucker.

Yes, Paulin, Well, what's interesting about Justin Tucker is he's been around a while, but he's thirty five years old, which really isn't old for a kicker. To put it in perspective, you talk about Adam vina Teri. Vinitaria played till age forty seven. Thirty five was the exact midway point in his career. He made three more Pro Bowls after thirty five. He did not fade as a deep kicker until the very very end for him.

He did not fade as a deep kicker until the very very end for him.

Yeah, and maybe your range is a little more limited the older you get, which is understandable. But are you better in those pressure situations when hey, we need you to make this forty seven yarder game on the line. But the fact that we would even be or the media even bringing that up of would you bring in somebody is certainly pretty telling. By the way, the over under I've been running down some of these, the over under the Kansas City Chiefs right now fourteen and a half, over under fourteen and a half, the Bills twelve and a half, the Lions thirteen and a half right now, and Buffalo has a couple of tough games coming up, including playing the Lions and playing the Niners. Kansas City a couple of games, but I don't look at it as really that formidable, And I think they'll probably lose one more game, so they'd have three and then do the Bills lose two? The Lions one loss right now, so they're expecting them to lose a few more here. But it feels like Lions are and look, they haven't really separated from the Eagles. But if you want to host the NFC title game, this is where you know, these games against teams that aren't very good or maybe they're not playing for anything. Those are sometimes dangerous games because you ease up on them you don't think they're playing for anything, and then all of a sudden, somebody gets squirrely and then you end up losing a game. Poll question for hour two Seaton, what are you thinking about?

Yeah?

Yeah?

Up date you on our one here.

Up date you on our one here.

Uh we put up there the best bad team we had the Dolphins, Bengals, Colts, Buccaneers. Okay right now with sixty four percent of the votes and I even really close the Bengals. Second place though, was more interesting between the Dolphins, Colts and Buccaneers. The Buccaneers have twenty percent of the vote.

Nobody believes in the Colts.

Nobody believes in the Colts.

Yeah, but they're still in a playoff hunt, which is weird in the AFC. It's like, you know, the Colts and the Broncos, and it feels like the Broncos are a lot better than the Colts, but they're kind of both just hanging in there. Yes, PAULI, oh, yes, Ton, Yeah.

The Colts I think are in the eighth spot at five and six, just one game behind Denver for that last spot in the seventh position?

The Colts I think are in the eighth spot at five and six, just one game behind Denver for that last spot in the seventh position?

Are you buying in to the Broncos?

Okay, sounds like you're more leasing the Broncos than buying. I don't that's you're not buying.

They got a tough schedule yet, and they got to finish off with the Chiefs the last game of the year, so they got to go four and two.

But yeah, the face to Broncos play Bottle of the Balls. No, we're not doing that, No, not anymore. Remember when we did flinch Ball and Ron Burgundy. Ron Burgundy came in and Fritzy I think got him right in the sack of y awesome. Yes, it was its great and he didn't even flinch. Ron Burgundy did even flinch there. All right, some phone calls coming up. Let's again, Matt Weiner will join us as well. So the pole question for hour two is going to be what Seaton we got another one here from? Uh, We've got one actually here from Paul Career. I'd rather have Justin Tucker Tony Romo. Interesting, Paul came out of nowhere.

Uh, We've got one actually here from Paul Career. I'd rather have Justin Tucker Tony Romo. Interesting, Paul came out of nowhere.

Well, let's think about Justin Tucker's career. He's pretty famous for a kicker. He's definitely well paid. He's the highest paid kicker of all time, and he's going to the Hall of Fame, which is really tough to do at that position. Or you could be a position player, a quarterback. But Tony Romo had a good career, somewhat unsatisfied or unfulfilled, but he played quarterback. He's not in danger of going to the Hall of Fame. You've had a very good career.

Yal Paul, it feels like you're going Justin Tucker. This is why you brought up the pole question.

Yal Paul, it feels like you're going Justin Tucker. This is why you brought up the pole question.

Yeah, it's it's kind of close though, because you want to be a starting quarterback who goes to some Pro Bowls as opposed to a kicker that's a specialist. But Tucker's going to the Hall of Fame. He'll he'll be remembered positively. Okay, bonus coverage. Anyone want to play the Justin Tucker career salary game?

Yeah, it's it's kind of close though, because you want to be a starting quarterback who goes to some Pro Bowls as opposed to a kicker that's a specialist. But Tucker's going to the Hall of Fame.

But he's joining us on behalf of Abbott sharing more about the We Give Blood Drive and in conjunction with the Big Ten, we'll have Matt explain that coming up in a moment. Good to see you again. How do you think your career would be different, if any if you came out now as opposed to when you did.

That's a great question. I probably wouldn't have get drafted. I wouldn't have got drafted Dan because I couldn't fit in the style of offenses that are played now. So it's a different world of football, and I see it at the lowest levels from flag football, youth tackle football. I'm watching my son play high school football, who just committed to SMU in the last couple weeks. Was pretty cool. So the game has really shifted from just from my personal style of play. I think probably I would have been okay, but you know, you got to be able to move, you got to be able to do a lot of other things in this day and age of football, which was something that I was very limited in. Maybe I would have pitched in baseball probably, But.

Are the days of the drop back passer gone or kind of becoming extinct.

Are the days of the drop back passer gone or kind of becoming extinct.

It's a good question. I mean, look, I'm still maybe this is just the traditional I'm still a believer that you have to win from the pocket. You have to win from between the tackles. You have to be able to, you know, pick up or be able to throw when you're getting blits inside it, take those hits. I don't think you can run around and just make plays. All that being said, a lot of these guys now and obviously Mahomes is a great example, like can do that, but they can also do more, you know, and that was that was the biggest difference I think. I think if you're looking at today's age, you know, you look at someone like Aaron Rodgers, who obviously is at the tail end of his career and never was considered a statue in the pocket, but he would run when he had to, and he was a great athlete. He might be like the last of the guys that just would really prefer to stay in there and throw from the pocket. But that's how you win a lot of games. So it is interesting that that position is just completely evolved and changed over the last decade, and you're seeing it played at a very very high level. It's just different than what we're used to. You know, there's no more under center play action. Really. Jared Goff, you know, Jared Goff is a person that I look at and is like he's he's kind of one of those like last of the Mohicans who is not going to run. He's gonna make his living from the pocket. But he's got that system around him and the way they're doing it, so it's it's interesting the way it's evolved into what it is.

And Matthew Stafford you could throw him in there. It's how people have fallen in love with Matthew Stafford almost overnight. Like what you have these younger quarterbacks there, they look up to him.

Stroud and Caleb Williams are like, man, I love Matthew Stafford. What is it about Stafford? Now he was great against the Patriots, you know, four touchdown passes, But what is it about Stafford though that maybe is different than these maybe pocket quarterbacks.

He It's such a great question because I feel like he's maybe the one of the most underrated quarterbacks that we've seen in the last fifteen twenty years, at least since he's playing. I mean, he's the number one pick out of Georgia. Was was I don't want to say stuck in Detroit, but was in Detroit for most of his careers, so one games but never really you know, the playoffs and all that. But the dude is the toughest, one of the toughest players you ever meet. He just, you know, I think he's one of those guys like he has elite arm strength, he moves, he has all of those traits and like, I don't know, it's like, you know, it's one of those guys that all these young kids are like, oh, we love Stafford. And I think it's like I think it's his toughness. I think it's the longevity. I think it's all of these things. I don't think people realize, like he took a beating in Detroit. You know, you have some of those highlights where he's playing with like like like he is just one of those dudes that is like it should be in the Hall of Fame, Like I hope he's won a super Bowl and he's still playing. Yeah, I think so too, and he's he's still playing at a high level. And it's interesting because in that generation, you know, you look at kind of like obviously Brady, and then you look at like Manning's and all of those guys, Breese and you know, guys that I early in micro I played with and kind of look up to because that was what the quarterbacks looked like. Roethlisberger was was a little bit of a different type of player, uh when he was playing. But Stafford has kind of just like stood the test of time, you know, part of that, but also part of this new generation of players. And I think he's just really when he went to LA he really started to gain the respect of his peers, I think, you know. And that's why a lot of these guys like to emulate their game after him.

If I said you could pick, you can be Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes.

If I said you could pick, you can be Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes.

I mean, I mean Patty, I'd be Patty Mahomes. Give me a couple of rings, Dan, Come on, you remember we lost it. We lost to the Steelers in the Super Bowl. Man san Antonio Holmes or outside I would have had I would have had a ring as a backup quarterback, which had been fantastic. But you know what I love, I don't.

I mean, you nervous about getting in the Super Bowl if you want to hear it?

I mean, you nervous about getting in the Super Bowl if you want to hear it?

Okay, So Dan, you want to hear great stories. So we're we're in that Super Bowl, right, which was a great one, and we score, uh, Kurt throws a little in row and Larry splits the safetyes right runs for like seventy yards. We go up with a couple of minutes left. Ben just marches down. He throws that incredible throw to San Antonio Holmes in the back of the end zone. There was I don't know, say thirty seconds. There was enough time for us to maybe move and I think I think we needed a touchdown to win. Kurt got I think on one play Kurt got hurt his shoulder on like a sack and there was still time left, and I don't it. Basically, what was going to happen is if it was an incomplete plais or whatever the clock stopped. I was going in on the last play to throw a damn hell Mary to try to win the super because he couldn't throw he like he bangushed. I think Lamar Woodley got him or something on the outside. So I'm sitting there. I think Todd Haley was the OC at the time, and I'm like, oh my god, I'm certain to warm Up'm about to have to throw a fifty five yard ball to win the game. Could you imagine if that would have happened and they got a touchdown but you didn't, I'd be going to Disneyland. Yeah No, I didn't get in. It was incredible though, man, that was yeah, go ahead.

But you know, no warm up, Like it's not like they let you go to the bullpen like you're trying to loosen up your arm. You're on the sidelines.

But you know, no warm up, Like it's not like they let you go to the bullpen like you're trying to loosen up your arm. You're on the sidelines.

You know, in that moment adrenaline, I probably would have chucked at sixty yards for sure. Any other day, you know, probably not, but that one, just going out there and to heave it, I would have got it there for sure. It was about a fifty five yard throw which I could have handled.

He's Matt Liiner and you can see him. The Fox Sports Big Noon Kickoff, you got Indiana and Ohio State. Now Ohio State. There's been some kind of blowback on why are we always playing these neon games? Now, I understand pre game, right into the game, does Ohio State have a legitimate beef that maybe they should play later in the afternoon or in the evening.

Well, I mean you got to remember too the you know again, this is above my pay grade.

Well, I mean you got to remember too the you know again, this is above my pay grade.

I know.

I know.

The last couple of weeks and getting a lot of the fans have been upset essentially because it, in their eyes, gives their team an advantage, whether it's the wide alpen state, which I get as a as a college football fan as well. You know, Fox in the Big Neon strategy started a handful of years ago to own that window and to be the big game in the morning when we all wake up and we sit on the couch for twelve hours to watch college football. And it's been a great It's been great for Fox, I think, I think it has been overall a great for fans in college football because you're getting a big, big ten game or whatever it is in that in that slot for us as big new kickoff. You know, we we go where we go and the shows and we try to promote and give a great show and give the fans what they want. So some of that is a lot of that is out of my control personally, in our out of our control as a show. But the games have been great. I think Gus, Joel and Jenny on on the game side do it a tremendous job. Are the best in college football in my opinion, and we just kind of we kind of we kind of do what we don't so so I can understand when fans are upset and they want all day and they want the night game and all that, but it is what it is and and it's worked for us.

I just hand the ball off to him, and I'm not sure anybody anybody over there is Mark. We want to play tackle football. I'm sure you know McAfee would want to play tackle football too. He's he's a little crazy.

No one's getting in front of that train either. Hey guess what, Dan, real quick, real quick. I want to say this because last time I saw you, I think me and Jerry were on the show Farra for throwbacks. We got a big, big shooting competition today basketball.

Explain how you got Kobe's jersey over your shoulder?

Explain how you got Kobe's jersey over your shoulder?

So great question. So Kobe my all time favorite athlete. I met Kobe in Newport Beach. It's where he lived and we had a mutual friend. So I met him years and years and years ago, actually met him when I was at USC and all those things, but I really got to know him outside of that world at like barbecues down in Newport all these things just on a different level and became, you know, some somewhat friends, you know, when I saw him and all those things, and I just I asked for I was like, hey, would you sign this whatever? And then that's how I got that, and then it's you know, obviously when he passed away, I had seen him. My son, my oldest son, plays basketball too, as well as football. And we were playing in the Made Hoops Tournament, which is the circuit all around the West Coast, and Kobe was coaching his daughter and that team in the same circuit on the girl side, and we had seen him earlier in that month of January at the Mamba Academy over down in Thousand Oaks for that weekend. It's a weekend of basketball, and then you play a couple weekends later, a couple weekends later, and I'll like, I've had that jersey for years. I'll just never forget. We were talking for probably twenty minutes. He had seen Cole. He's like, damn, Cole, you've grown. Like Cole was already like six feet in seventh grade or something like that. We were watching him coach his daughter and the girls team right there, and then a couple of weeks later, obviously the tragedy happened, but also too, I you know, I know Vanessa fairly well and his her daughter, the youngest ones play in our flag football leagues down in Orange County, which is which has been pretty awesome to have them a part of that too. So Toby my all time favorite athlete. I got a chance to know him and obviously we miss him and everybody misses him.

Tell me what you're doing with Abbot the we give blood drive in conjunction with the Big Ten.

Tell me what you're doing with Abbot the we give blood drive in conjunction with the Big Ten.

Yeah, so this is this is really incredible what Abbot is doing. So they've partnered with all of the Big ten schools basically to launch a competition to see who can donate the most blood and and the school who donates the most blood gets a million dollars to an advanced student or health community help. So there's a big incentive for people to go out there and not only just support your school and whatever school that may be, but also to give blood and donate. We have a severe, severe blood shortage in this country and millions of people impacted by that. So it's it's just a really cool campaign and a competition to get people out there to don't. You can go to Big ten, Big ten dot org, backslash Abbot to pick a location, you donate blood, you upload your proof of donation, which is really important out there are who are listening, and you pick your school and it's as simple as that and the winner will be announced. But the Big ten Championship came December seventh, So Abbat's doing an incredible job with this and again, as I said, the blood shortage is real in this country, so I encourage everybody. I'm actually giving blood this Friday up in Ohio. State will be out in Columbus for the game, So I'm gonna I'm gonna do that Friday.

Give me sixty seconds on the state of USC football.

Give me sixty seconds on the state of USC football.

I'm gonna need about two hours, but in sixty seconds. In sixty seconds, we are. And I say we obviously because I'm a Trojan, but I'm a fan. I want to see my school do well. It's a challenging spot right now. You know, the expectation is really high at USC. Lincoln came in three years ago. This is third year and almost went to a college football playoff, right which was a great year. We fell short in the Pack Pactfeld Championship Game, and then it's sort of tailed off over the last couple of years. And we knew going into this year, the first year of the Big Ten, it's gonna be a challenge and a lot of new pieces on the team, and it hasn't been this season. I think he would want, the team would want, and the USC fan base, and I would just say, big picture, you know like he knows, he knows what he needs to do. He knows what the expectation is at USC and and I believe with Nil and believe with the talent in Southern California that there is there there's no excuse not to be able to build a championship team. And I think he knows that. So listen, the pulse is it's it's tough. There's a lot of people, a lot of fans that are frustrated, and you know, the Mancha Kan is like it's the same thing week in and week out, and then that just needs to be changed. And I'm not I'm not saying anything anybody doesn't know but us. He needs to get better. It's playing and simple. They have a chance to beat UCLA this week, they have a chance to play Notre Dame next week and maybe knock them out of the playoffs. So there's still stuff to play for and it kind of create some excitement going into next year.

The best team in college football is the best team, he.

The best team in college football is the best team, he.

Said, yeah, I'd say Oregon. I know they're number one, but I just I you know, in the knock with them is like I think it's still like the perception of maybe what they've been in the past, like a lot of speed, but don't have this like this is not that, Like Dan Lanning is a real dude. Like Dan Lanning is an SEC coach. Dan Lanning has built a team like that they can play with anybody up front, and they have the speed to play with anybody like in Ohio State and some of these these teams that have tremendous talent on the outside. And Dylan Gabriels, I mean, gosh, he's played a lot of football and he's won a lot of games. So I think Oregon is is for sure number one, but it is very This year is fantastic because you have, honestly, like I think you have seven or eight teams like Ole Miss could win the national champampionship. Georgia even though they've been up and down, could win, Bama can win, Texas can win. Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State for that matter, might have it like you. Just like honestly, I think anybody could beat anybody right now, which is great.

Calves are getting five tonight against the Celtics. Cabs are fifteen to oh Celtics are eleven and three. The odds on favorite to have the most points tonight is Jason Tatum than Donovan Mitchell. Here's one for you. Jazz are getting eleven against the Lakers. Lebron James over under twenty three and a half. Let's see how about Pelicans are getting twelve against the Mavericks over under Luca twenty seven and a half. He's gone over this number in six of his last nine games. I think I'm officially getting old. Like I can embrace it that I'm officially old.

What's the typical thing.

What's the typical thing.

I got into a conversation yesterday last night with a Mets fan, a good friend of mine, and he's saying, why are you down on loan Soto? I said, I just don't want to spend seven hundred million dollars on Lon Soto. He's like, why, this is just monopoly money. I said, well, I don't know. Maybe it's just the principle of show. He tawny six hundred million dollars and at least he gives you worldwide recognition. He can pitch, he can hit, he's a great player, he steals bases, all these things. One Soto is probably going to get seven hundred million dollars. And then you realize that at some point over the next couple of years, Luka Doncic is going to make ninety million dollars a year, maybe more, maybe a hundred million at some point. And I guess I'm just caught up in these salaries where I go, gosh, that, what do you get for that kind of money?
