Durant Stays With The Nets (Hour 1)

Taser studios of CBS sports radio here in beautiful New York City sitting on top of the 10th floor 345 Hudson St. welcome all into a Tuesday edition of the Zach Gelb show across all the great local CBS sports radio affiliate Sirius XM channel 158 and that free Odyssey Abay 552124 CBS him to jump on in a five 512-4227. He could always get at me on Instagram run straight flex and or the Google cesspool of Twitter at Zach Gelb that the ACH GE LBB are coming to live from the rocket mortgage studios really looking to purchase a new home refinance yours. Rocket mortgage could help you get there from on solutions that fit your life. Yes, your life rocket can load a guest list that I come about an hour from now we will talk to Jay Gruden at 8 PM Eastern, 5 PM Pacific. The head football coach of the South Carolina gamecocks Shane Beamer.

By the close out the show. Doolittle first and goal six teams remain and we will get that down to five today as we have to preview the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Rick Stroud and eyes always produces extravaganza for the next four hours is no other then take it take. I have to start the show today talking about Kevin Durant who Kevin Durand really turned out to be a big loser of this MBA off-season. He wanted out of Brooklyn had four years left on his contract. Take didn't scream. I don't like Brooklyn anymore.

Even though you made every decision in Brooklyn. You okayed the trade to go get James Harden you were the one that wanted to team up with Kylie Irving. You were the one that wanted Kenny Atkinson out after praising the nets culture and you are responsible for bringing in Steve Nash so it never made sense to me when the last three years and I was only played a year and 1/2 why Kevin Durrant wanted out in an organization that he is God and his way and has been the one that's been orchestrating each and every one of these moves. It's almost as if he tried to burn the house down and that instead of saying okay, I'll try to build the house back up. I'm just going to run away and pretend like I wasn't even the one that burn the house down and don't get me wrong Kevin Durrant's great basketball player Kevin Durrant's top 15, top 20 player of all time even things of the Basco court that I've never seen any make shots from a range that I've never seen for a person that is his size, but it doesn't mean that Kevin Durrant can't do anything wrong, and Kevin Durrant has been extremely frustrating in the last few years because I just don't know what he wants and today when you get the news that the Brooklyn Nets announced that we have agreed to move forward with our partnership, we are focusing on basketball. One collective goal in mind. Build a lasting franchise to bring a championship to Brooklyn when Sean Marx releases that statement. I know that Kevin Durant sole member of the Brooklyn. That's what it comes off as Kevin Durrant, loss, and where in an era of player empowerment and I think we get caught up in that player empowerment bubble, especially in the MBA, like the NFL still run by the owners major league baseball stolen by the owners, but when it comes to the sport of basketball.

It seems like what the star players want and not even all the stars, the guys that are above average players whatever they want. They end up getting and I'm actually glad the Brooklyn that stole Kevin Durrant to go screw and I'm glad they didn't cave to the Kevin Durrant pressure just because Kevin Durrant wanted out and wanted trade inexcusably that just didn't genuflect and ballot the altar of Kevin Durrant to go all hail Kd will trade you and not get the adequate return back for Kevin Durrant. We've been talking about this for the better part of almost 2 months.

He's been very consistent on this so by that. We believe that there was not get to be a lucrative enough package that the nets would got in return for Kevin Durrant and therefore Kd would be on the Brooklyn Nets for the first game. Now we know since they are good are agreeing to move forward that he is going to be there for the first game and I think it's safe to question if there question what type of Kevin Duranty to get and also I think the part about this that gets lost in the shuffle is Kylie Irving Kylie Irving could tell you through steam that he never wanted out and he was good to move forward in Brooklyn for this year, with or without Kevin Durrant.

It was up the Kylie Kyra go back run into Lebron James and be a member of the Lakers but not so didn't want to get that deal done and I don't blame because what was the benefit of bringing Russell Westbrook as he would've had to been involved in that trade.

For that to go down so I actually respect what Sean Marx did here.

And yes, it did behoove them to make sure that Kevin Durrant and then even to some extent Kylie Irving were on this roster for this upcoming season.

It is so refreshing and the MBA now though to see a player finally not get their way and you sign the contract. I know we can also what's the real value of the contract and the contract is meaningless but the nets basically told Kevin Durrant will only move you if we feel that the deal benefits us and the moment vertical bear got traded for all those pics you knew the market was good to be set a lot of sink in.

And all out of whack and you even seen it out with Donovan Mitchell where I read a report to the Knicks offered five first-round pick for Donovan Mitchell and that's not good to be enough silver target about the bear. I think one for four first-round picks. Also, Walter Kessler was also first-round picks are basically five first-round picks. That's what Donovan Mitchell to go for. I asked what is Kevin directed to go for and because that price tag was so high and the timing of it. Everything lined up. Even though Kd didn't want to come back for Durrant to be back in Brooklyn and I just wonder how committed Durrant is going to be his his legacies on the line. We know he's a top 15 player we know he's in that all-time great category, but you can still be remembered in a bizarre way and be at all-time great player without a doubt whatever Kevin Durrant retires is going to Naismith Memorial basketball thing that's not even a debate and is a two-time Champion and is a two-time finals MVP.

There is that perception about Kevin Durrant though like Charles Barkley is pointed out that he is not a bus driver.

He is a bus rider and we saw in OKC got that team to an NBA finals. He felt like he maxed out OKC choke to the warriors that joined the Golden State Warriors and all. Kevin Doran had to do when he was in Golden State when he made a move that was viewed as a villain type of move, which he had every right in his power to go make an Golden State belt organization the right way you draft welding at a big free-agent star. That's what they did but they were already all-time great team to begin with, so a lot of people felt that was unnecessary and a lot of people did not want to see another supercheap Durrant should've done the act that he plays on social media in real life are going to Golden State when he basically tells everyone on social media that gives them any negative criticism and is mentioned to go bleep off and how dare you come at the God, the basketball God that is Kevin Durrant if he was able to do that and if you do toughness to be able to do that, he would still be in Golden State, it would probably have another championship ring on his finger maybe two more and eventually when you win so many titles even if you don't like the origins of how that came about and that came to fruition. You could eventually just say kiss the rings and bow down to the ranks.

I think that would happen through time. Instead, though, the writ made the decision to go to Brooklyn and Durrant. It's crazy how much it changes than a year because a year ago when they were going up against Brooklyn. He will go to because walking they lost the nets in the second round.

Durrant played his ass off which aims are to be in hurt and Kylie Irving being hurt and almost took them to the conference finals and probably if they would've beat the box they made one the whole damn thing, or at least bare minimum loss of the sons in the NBA finals because they would've beat the Hawks and Durrant got so much praise. A year later, though it was. Can this all come together and are all enfolded Chi re-unreliable James Hardy no longer on the team now been Simmons in the mix will see when he plays basketball again so I do think this is a positive day for the nets. It's a brutal look for Kevin Durrant. I just wonder though what is Kd getting out do with this opportunity because when I read this statement rhyme and the statement says. From Sean Marx. We've agreed to move forward with the partnership we are focusing on basketball. One collective goal of mine build a lasting franchise to bring a championship to Brooklyn. I read that statement as were basically punting any decision on Kevin Durrant for another year. This is almost as if a couple gets in a really ugly fight and that fight was caught on video gets broadcasted publicly it goes viral. All that stuff and then it looks like they have a really messy marriage and the husband says yeah me and my wife are going to counseling were going to couples therapy Amber good hope to salvage what is a very unhealthy messy relationship that you go to counseling and can you get the help that you need to salvage a relationship share but a lot of times you're going to counseling and even though counseling tries to help you fix your issues if you don't have two people that want to fix the issues. The answers never to get facts and I still don't believe that Kevin Durrant wants to fix the problems that he's created in Brooklyn and I just wonder going into this year. How bought in Kevin Durrant and Kari Irving are actually going to be because Kevin Durrant whether he wants to admit it or not wanted out. Kevin Durrant had an issue with Sean March is done everything for him and Steve – the guy that he chose to be that coach. A guy that would not of been a head coach with the Brooklyn Nets if it wasn't for Kevin Durrant and all the sudden you have issues with Sean Marx and Steve Nash and Kylie Irving to tell you until he's blue in the face that he wanted to be in Brooklyn with the without Katie this year that yes Kylie. Irving wanted to be in LA with Lebron James and the nets didn't think that any return. The Lakers give them back was good to be enough for them or it was good to make them pull the trigger on that deal. So those two guys didn't get what they want their both to be in Brooklyn now we have to wait and see where there by levelers and is it going to be all my back hurts all my leg hurts you have extra load management days and are they going to be there but not actively try to do with the net said today and that was build a lasting franchise to bring a championship to Brooklyn for Chi, re-allow that this get to play out, I'm sick and tired of trying to figure out what Chi River were going to get which is a shame because when he wants to be.

He's a great player for Kd though if you have to ask this and you don't find a way to eventually bring a championship to Brooklyn and you never want to championship again. Even if you go to a new team. Yes, you will be remembered as all-time great player you've Artie cemented that legacy that all-time great player though would come with the bought, but there was always a lot of chaos, but there was always a lot of drama and may be in that, but conversation Charles Barkley's name would come up with the bus driver. Bus rider commented that he did make on inside the NBA. So for now the Brooklyn nets have Kevin Durrant and Tyree, Irving, and though reevaluate and reassess. I would assume at the end of the year.

Maybe it's that the trade deadline.

Who knows. It's tough though. Other than their pure talent, and I wasn't there hundred percent bought in for me to envision that this is going to work successfully in a year ago.

I would add the complainant that the systemic I would say look what they did with James Hart on one leg. Look what they did what Chi really getting hurt again for an drip line is that so you bet your ass that they're going to championship now though. A year later, Ryan. This is a totally different feel so in one area I don't think this could be a long-lasting relationship, but in another sense, I'm actually really happy that Katie has egg on his face year because he has become so obnoxious. I used to love watching Kevin Durrant play basketball. But the ego and the way that he handles himself on twitter Endo approach just simply to this off-season, it made no sense, and he ultimately has one. Nothing. Nothing in this off-season and he looks like a big loser here which is crazy to say because he's an all-time great player but he failed miserably this off-season with whatever he was trying to accomplish.

He did and you hold you. The lesson is learned like again. You know, we, in which I was. Some of these guys. Kevin Durrant is in his own world and sometimes reality is not the world he lives in and inside. You should see the embarrassment of you trying to overtake the did she not once but twice doubling down getting rejected. Now you realize Kevin rent right do we know does not like conflict. So instead of setting out training camp of China force and said all you know I'll be the nice guy here. I'll come back for it like this in the statement sounded like to me year to year to our partnership.

That's anything but confident he'll be there in four years when his contract is up by this is a guy were Kent Kevin Durrant's lack of aggressiveness actually works in the nets benefit must be as if I took my shoe off right now and let's say there wasn't glass in front of us and I was so mad at you that I was sure let you and hitch a ride in the face. I don't know maybe it did it because the cut in your face, you had to go to the hospital and in the next day Spike comes out with the statement are Boston goes yet. Even though Zach was really mad at Ryan there working through their issues and the both committed to continuing doing the exact help show this is something you can't recover from, and that's one of the which I wasn't aware analogy, but that's is looking for mine. I don't intend to throw a shoe at you can't take a key. My hat is Kevin Durrant look at Steve and Sean Marx have those guys have any respect for him anymore because he cried and pouted this entire off-season set with Sean Marx and Steve Nash. It's not my fault and that's all these guys that was basically given the baby bottle. It is wanted all the great food that comes with that.

I actually think it's not can be as big ministers you think Cavender is very passive-aggressive now just to now. He hates conflict.

I love that he's going to go into the season like the burners are now getting well that dowsing that is there statement came out. He made 15 more burners I heard – maybe trending on twitter a lot more in season than they were before the afterburners. Katie will make but in person.

He's not calling out. He's like a sale like was Dallas and have respect for the guy and Tyree basically said when he was fired.

When a job, maybe I'll go to Gmail one day I will coach the team that they don't even respect got to get what was the bozo that one of the coach is Kenny Atkinson probably had some accountability and wanted some respect and Katie was like do you know I am on Kevin Durrant did a backbone get out here all my God, so I'm happy that the nets told Kd in Cairo to go screw and it's in their best interest to have those guys for this upcoming season. I just still think this is good. Have an ugly ending. It's all right basically you're going to hospice you know the death is is coming sooner rather than later. You just don't know exactly what this is all going to deteriorate as Zach yelled show on CBS sports writer will take a break yesterday. ;-) Kennedy joined us and he said there's no more excuses for Derek Carl give you five more quarterbacks you don't have any excuses in 2022 J listening to the second Guild show that was former Raiders offense alignment and current team analysts Lincoln Kennedy joined us yesterday on Zach yelled show on CBS sports radio and he says there's no more excuses for Derek Carr when it comes to this offense being successful. Derek Carr had a very good year, a season ago battling through a lot of things that were out of his control. You bring in what I think is going to be a head coach. It is more fit for 2022. Then his last said coach and that lasted coach did win the Super Bowl many years ago as a head coach in this league, when with Tampa Bay and we know what he did in his previous stint with the Raiders but I think Josh McDaniel does offense of approaching 2022 is more conducive to a quarterback it's a winning football. Then John Gruden was as a coach and not only that, more importantly, you arty have all or you already had Hunter Renfro who were an excellent want to punch a season ago. Now you bring in arguably a guy that I think and is not a big take is the best wide receiver in the sport into Monte Adams so the raters who made the playoffs last year. There's no reason. Once again, why they should make the playoffs in 2022. Even though that division did get tougher with Russell Wilson going to Denver. The moves that the charges of made and now Tyree kill. He's added that division so that could help the a team like the raters even though Kansas City still good to be a force to be reckoned with. But if you made the playoffs last year without the month. Adams you better make the playoffs again with about dads and only that maybe take it. The next step. Now we convinced did say that he does not believe this team is a Super Bowl caliber team, but they should be able to go when a playoff game this year.

That's not out of the realm of possibilities because it if you find a way to make the postseason come another day of CYS. You can meet anyone in the AFC this year and when the game was on the line last year, up against Cincinnati with the chance ago when the game quarterback didn't rise up to the occasion. Now it does not negate and nullify all the positive things that Derek Carr has done but do you get complacent and just go okay I'm fine with being in the good category in the very good category, or do you want to eventually see that team and had that team take the next step so that it I think Lincoln Kennedy's right.

There's no excuses. This year for Derek Carr. I'll give you five other quarterbacks in the NFL that there's no excuses for and I think the world of this guy, it would not surprise me whatsoever. This guy wins the Super Bowl this year and was an MVP this year that Josh Allen Josh Allen is a lot of success in this league.

The last two years it's been a wonderful growth of Josh Allen you got Stefon Diggs. Gabe Davis is really coming into his own. I like Isaiah McKenzie Dawson Knox is a good tight end you brought in OJ Howard if he could stay healthy.

Devon motor single Terry Sutter come on late last season.

He still does.

Zach Moss of the Rossi drafted James Cook you look at the steam with good offensive line to that loaded everywhere and defensively and really for their team. There were missing a Super Bowl experience and now you brought in the guy that is two rings on his hand in the Von Miller and also Super Bowl MVP attached to his name is. No excuses. This year for Buffalo's Nazis this year for Josh Allen and I was told that the last year is bright and is coach of the brain far and the defense couldn't stop Kansas City and 13 seconds and you lose that game in overtime so no excuses this year for Josh Allen charges Justin Harbert.

I think the world of him. I think the charge on AFC West this year you bring back Mike Williams, you have Tina and Alan, you beat that that offense aligned a year ago to Sean Slater. Now you bring in Zion. Johnson, Austin Eckler is a phenomenal back. I know JC Jackson is now Dillinger looks like he's administered four weeks you brought them to Lou Mackey just get the deal done.

When James you have Joey balsa Brandon Staley now you number two will see much he learned from the second half of your number one no excuses this year for Justin Harbert for Josh Allen.

So to start a Super Bowl for Justin Harbert. It's no excuses you need to make the playoffs next quarterback Kirk cousins that you like that you have a coach. It doesn't H anymore.

That's where it starts and Kevin O'Connell. I will give an account of the debate, but he is good public Kirk cousins in a better spot to succeed.

You have Justin Jefferson you have that in dealing will see it first met Junior can stay healthy dowsing cook is a really good running back as you know on this league. I like KJ Osborne defensively, this defense was horrible year ago, you can't get any worse.

You think you can't get any worse. And also you add that in you plan an abysmal NFC other than Tampa, Green Bay and the Rams.

There is not team that you salivate over in the NFC. I like Billy. I think the one that division. I like the Cowboys to make the playoffs Cardinals will see what they're out there to navigate these tough orders after being without the other Hopkins over six games. The 49ers trained Lance. He's an unknown baker may fields are unknown in Carolina act even look at the Saints. There are unknown nor to breeze.

I know he's away two years now and now some pagans along to their I look at that conference and go the Minnesota Vikings should be a top seven team in the NFC just based off their offense, no excuses.

This year her cousins mess with the money that he gets paid next up to its own go by law.

What I like to see a team due to go help young quarterback is go add a stone wide receiver they've done that. The last two years and they got better this off-season jail model had a solid rookie season. Then you bring in Tyree kill a top five wide receiver. Top seven wide receiver in the sport. You improve the offense aligned bring in Lawrence that you now bring it all offensive minded coach that's going to support to its own go by Lola, and he's good actually have a commitment to running the football. I look at tule.

There's no excuses.

This year I don't hear all but the AFC is tough. You gotta go make the playoffs this year and finally our Rogers. I do not want to hear any excuses OR logical drugs want their items on our Rogers is unhappy with his receiving court. Your client in a week, NFC, one of the three teams in the NFC that go make the Super Bowl and go get to the Super Bowl coming out of the NFC and you're getting paid $50 million a year, back to back to back 13 win seasons and you have not found a way to get back to a Super Bowl.

Our Rogers this year has to find a way to get back to the Super Bowl and I don't want to hear any of this nonsense that is not lockdowns because the box offense aligned in shambles right now we don't know what's going on with that elbow would Matthew Stafford teams deal with injuries.

Teams deal with losing players in the off-season. If you're getting paid $50 million. I don't care if you wind up picking me and that act, you should be able to find a way to make garbage into gold, no fence gentleman. I just referred all three of us as garbage but that's what we would be as NFL wide receivers that leave anyone off this list does the five cornerbacks that come to mind based off of Lincoln Kennedy said about Derek Carr. There's no excuses for these quarterbacks this year Josh Allen Justin Herber Kirk cousins to Tonga by Lola and Erin Rogers.

I five others. Wow. Okay get this a diligent producer today were going back really today has portrayed Elder Cook, 2015. Goodness about jail and hurts Ajay Brown scholarly career.

Your firm anyway.

But Allah, phenomenal offense aligned to got us a good run game. Good defense. You know to sister Jaelyn Hartson made the playoffs last year. Gotta go make the playoffs again. I'm fine with that. Take what your actual feelings for this guy will stop it if you're talking about that quarterback that you root for last year that now place of the commandos have a problem that she risk lot made sure Brodsky starting five weeks from now out there, so I'm just saying false hope fake news. I am just saying that guy socks. If you are going to resurrect your career now this is a lateral chances and it you could say things right now it makes sense. I'm not listening.

Okay will move forward and have a Jablonski Kenny think it's good to be stake should be started. I think he will be starting week one is Mike, my some cojones into the right thing. But if Mike, makes a stupid decision is get a regret that. And by the absolute latest, then you will see Kenny Pickett on the field up against the stinking jet stop mixture Brodsky how about Kyler Murray who I like that one, especially because you know what the excuses go to be only don't have Hopkins the first six games of the season you get paid the money that you just trying to go fight for my like I said with Rogers you better come through Monmouth +2 more cuties both on new teams this year. Ryan very hopeless form for gotta showing a little something something. I think that when the division and I think he'll be fine but I just don't have high hopes like it if Tennessee wins the division and they go nine and eight or 10 and seven to miss the playoffs. I can't say I'm really all that I'm to be killing Matt Ryan and I called seven tremendous offense aligned jobs until more the better running backs in football you have a really good defense.

I don't think if it doesn't work. A lot of blame is good to be directed at Matt Ryan. I think a lot of it into mercy basically has been making this clear this off-season that there's good to be changes in everything to the way that he talks if they fail once again after getting back. I am Matt Ryan with your fellow quarterbacks to back to back years and I think that means your guy Frank like could be looking for new job that will make the playoffs. All right, how about Russell Wilson.

That's global that's one that I should've had on my list because Russ whether you thought Russ was in the right and it was cow that was in the wrong word. Pete was in the right and Russ was in the wrong. He upgraded his team this year.

You have better wide receivers, but the team in Denver is better now and it is plausible for them to miss the playoffs this year and I'm picking them to miss the playoffs this year. That division always so tough, but if he doesn't make the playoffs this year.

Like I said there were Super Bowl a bus yesterday and will make the playoffs this year.

That's good to be a bad book for possible syntheses viewed is that Savior owe their quarterback away in Denver. So some quarterbacks that I don't want to hear and ask uses for this year and that was hot, take his list as well take a break. We come on back I got to get back into this hot dog being used as a straw to drink a beer. I have one extra take on that after her initial reaction from yesterday and also who's going to be the legit contenders to prevent what I want to see is a national championship game this year between Alabama and Ohio State listening to the second Guild show Jerry Goering to join us coming up about 17 minutes from now this is that Guild show on CBS sports radio.

We will chat a little Alabama and Ohio State in just a moment and why that is the dream matchup this year in college football but not to kick the we had a pretty big time reaction yesterday and an intense reaction to this video of this guy at Yankee Stadium, taking a hot dog poking a hole through the hotdog and then using the hot dog as a straw in his beer. I thought it was absolutely disgusting so that you and then when I was listening to the DA show this morning and they were planning our audio from the show in our reaction to it.

DA Almaraz brought up a great point and it even makes it more disgusting than what I originally thought Ryan entertain me here for a second and this is always a gamble on my end because you're awful when it comes to food, you go to baseball game, you go get hotdog more than one hotdog throughout the game and that's the only thing you're eating right, which I think is a bad job at management managing a ballpark in getting the proper concession you go to baseball game. How many hotdogs you think you take them at least three you never just ordering no just one printer. Never big enough just have that be the meal itself DA MRIs, but at this point, when you're watching that video. It's time from the start to the end. You see the. The cutting of the hotdog and then the drinking of the beer through the hotdog that doesn't look like someone you know whoever was filming a Muslim is a stage and I don't think it was.

That doesn't look like it was the first hotdog yesterday like I use to just sip a beer with. Because how would you know to get ready to film him unless it was stays out think it was spoken. The bill hole through the hotdog, but I think didn't you tell me the right wrong or with the Almaraz setbacks agree with them is that the guy probably did this and let's say the second inning.

I don't know what evening this occurred. Let's just say it's a second inning that got hungry again because one hotdog is in enough for thinning comes around I'll get other hotdog get another beer and the person behind it was probably so mortified after seeing it the first time they go. I have now broadcast this for the world to say that a debit is also to your member or you think you know there's no way you're just trying this for the first time at a ballpark IQ out of its backyard at a barbecue's kitchen's board one day you try that some well there was some performance-enhancing substances in and made them do things that he he never has done before ivories are like smoking weed. Like I mean like I'm not a weed smoker but I will say I don't know how much weed it would take probably selling enough to kill you if you take a nap. At that point you take a bully or drinking you get on this crazy beer out of a hotdog I see a beer hotdog. The next thing you know you're sitting there minutes but this hotdog in the beer, maybe the guy at the munchies and the munchies gone bad. Here is a much other than your carpet out the middle of the hotdog got the best part just to get rid of it now. The guide is a look messed up but I guess even if you did at the munchies and you were smoking some some our water to gettable their you could still hide in the may not be obvious to the eye.

Sometimes it is sometimes it isn't a magic that Geico was high and held today he finds is out on social media man that one high idea led to me becoming a viral sensation think he knows Scott is an older gentleman so nuts your neighbor maybe is have social media time. My grandma just got a brand-new cell phone and she and she's all boarded on the technology doesn't matter how old you are.

It's like the guy was decrepit not to say like 90 something years old, like I was.

My guys out on social media okay but that your kids would tell you or your neighbors would tell you or your friends would tell you this but I think the €10 million I would live in a world he doesn't know the cicada. You know I the very fact that he just want like a thinking little of his happy place. My design business and didn't want to become a viral.

He's walking around trailer hello, I'm just a normal guy and everyone else is just obsessing with this video yet baggy pearl of their own experiment on the radio. An hour ago. By the way this guy just walking around like he is no nothing nothing nothing wrong I love Maggie and Andrew, after seeing the reactions on their faces though they said to me right before I got in the air, only to try that. The hotdog and beer thing. I got absolutely not that they looked at Maggie look like she was about to vomit on the air, so not to go try that.

I thought I was locating where we can get hotdog at the New York City be easier hotdog but the top pretty much rid of any place you could buy food in a three block radius from us. So I was looking that up initially and then I just saw too many shows are doing it so I said we don't need to do that also. Not to get on Maggie and Andrew II get it they have to do is show you got have a beer you can't believe that you seltzer. I don't think it's the same thing. I think you got to do with the beer and by the way, Mraz we call the yesterday, Mraz did not actually hate the guy using the hotdog as a straw to drink the beer he goes when you drink beer and eat hotdog all the time what's along with what this guy did its nothing like all lock them up and throw away the K but there is a part of it that gold is a little bit of a of a sick dude, if that's what you're doing and who uses a straw any way to drink a beer. I noticed that last night when I was describing it. I didn't get the straw originally with the intention to drink the beer is that he normally drinks beer or was it just poked a hole through the hotdog and once again it's not your first rodeo and I don't think this was his first rodeo with this nasty expense like I got the straw know exactly what is going to use it for its intense that's the part just I want to see Alabama go up against Ohio State national championship game a year ago it was all right.

Let's see, detailing the leg up against Bryce Young Alabama was there Clemson to make the college football playoff did you underlay had a really bad season for the Clemson Tigers going into this season. It's all about Bryce Young CJ Stroud the race of number one pick the race to go, maybe for Bryce Young when the Heisman Trophy maybe CJ Stroud adds Heisman Trophy to his trophy mental can rind day get over the hump.

Nick Sabin can he just continues to add to this never ending legacy of just being an unbelievable coach and the greatest coach that college football is ever seen your full interest is absolute stolid for Alabama. I love Jackson Smith and Jake Bob for Ohio State.

The wide receiver to that to me would be the best national championship game goes to the room the party this year.

How to kick it because the two teams I think of right away George.

I think will be the college football playoff again that also much on defense and noise of Kaylee Ringo you bring back Stetson bent on the offense inside the ball after just win a national championship and just laying the Dragon that is Alabama. Can it happen again yes to anticipated know and the other sculptor out there and there there school at the black? Snover Tony Elliott number Brent Venables.

I will did you underlay get through the entire season. Big year for Dabo Sweeney. With all that he's done building up Clemson and making them a powerhouse. Those in the top four schools in the nation through the rankings, and also through my analysis entering the season and I don't think Clemson.

I do believe that because will plow, but I don't think they could take down either Alabama or Ohio State. I said be surprised because I guess nothing should surprise you in sports anymore, but I would put out like a 75% confidence level that we see Alabama Ohio State to end out the season national championship you talk about the best matchup hello this USC Oklahoma Lincoln Riley get USC back versus a school, he left at midnight basically did what the coasted packed up the vans moved out of there now. Oklahoma could go when the big 12 this year. Baylor's is their main competition yet doing Gabriel vera quarterback on the Fanta Brent Venables will see a whole become as a head coach. I can still get into Constable playoff national championship game. Though every USC you bring a wide receiver from pet you have Caleb Williams got Lincoln Riley Utah may be a better team than USC just in the pack 12 became rising and and Kyle Winningham and they get to the four remaining teams with Constable Plath. I guess it's not stunning USC, but in the national championship game. He yeah I can't go that far. Your number one for Riley is in Oklahoma for years and never got to and was in a bunch of college football semifinals never got to the national championship game, with highs winning quarterbacks, or has been a finalist so British nudges more like a surgery matter for me. I love seeing a little rivalry little bitterness in Oklahoma USA fence.

Okay, so they give me the teams and if I put George in Clemson the table the other teams he could really challenge Ohio State and also Alabama you mentioned. I think Utah users are jutting to make a plot this year. They're the best in the factual than you are sitting there going undefeated there will be one of the four teams of can probably feed it.

Yes, never good whenever the pack 12 oh is buzzing. There's teen that's positive. Pack 12 is received in recent years of origin in Washington. They always shoot themselves in the foot.

This is the year also means take Florida on a money line.

We caught up to put any stock in Notre Dame. I know the quarterback situations questionable on the believer Notre Dame until they find a way to get to a championship game business in the Constable playoff a few times and they disappointed right at the gate yet Notre Dame Ohio State taken hours to be Ohio State have made a decision yet, but probably not as wild as think Ohio State's is going to national championship game have given that gave much thought yet so I would lean Ohio State but on thing to look at the gambling line and and and all that other stuff first game of the season that's a tricky matchup Notre Dame letter 12 no Jokinen Clemson last year against George and George turned out to be this unbelievably great team in this all-time great defensive team made the case Clemson season ended in week one last year. You never know which way this goes to Gerding to join us. That second chose to go sports radio
