We'll link the YouTube show in the description
But welcome into the Justin Tom Sports podcast
I am your owner your host your CEO your proprietor
Justin Jackson and I am so excited to be back with you guys
My apologies for not having a show last week
I started a new schedule and it was a little bit off
Picked up a lot of activities as you guys know I coach high school football
For those of you who are one of my listeners
I'm also not coaching youth football
I'm also doing some other business stuff trying to grow this platform
Trying to grow the family
So I kind of picked up all of it at one time last week
And so kind of getting a handle on my schedule
And so I'm back with you guys weekly
So expect this show every week
Expect the YouTube show as well
We have a little production issues with last week's episode
Which is why it hasn't been out yet
You know normally you guys would get the audio show Tuesday
And get the YouTube show Thursday or Friday
But like I said we're having a little production issues
Just some minor tweaks and stuff that we're getting altered and fixed
Want to make sure you guys have the best product
But the YouTube show will be back this week
So as always this show is brought to you by IMS Productions
Make sure you guys follow them at IMSProductions2023 on Instagram
Reach out to them for any of your production needs
I know we talked about we have production issues
So maybe plugging them at that point wasn't the best
But it's also not their fault
While we're going through the production issues
It was some stuff on my end
They're trying to make sure we have the best product out to you guys
So they are always working on that
But let's jump right into the show
Let's jump right into it baby
The WNBA is back right
We're coming off the Olympic Games
We're coming off a strong showing of women's basketball at the Olympic Games
And we got the final we needed right
I mean the USA won
But it also wasn't a cruise
You know they've won Olympic Games rather recently
Of average margin of victory 20 something points
Where they just absolutely destroyed everybody
They dominate the field
There's no real competition
And they actually they walk to a 20 something point per game victory
And that just did not happen this time
Shout out France they came to play
At no point that I felt like the USA was going to cruise through the tournament
They dominated Japan but Japan was just too small
And so when we get to France
And you get to a player like Gabby Williams
And France had multiple top players on their team with the WNBA experience
It was impressive right
And I enjoyed it
And people were talking about Gabby Williams being
She's an American track and field person
In her youth and then she ends up playing basketball for France
Now I know that's easier to change federations and nationalities
Like I know it's a problem
Like if she went to basketball in America
And then she wanted to go basketball in France
That would have been a little bit harder
But she went from track and field federation to FIBA
So that's a little bit different
It's a little bit easier to transition countries
Whenever you're changing federations
So like I said going from track and field to basketball
Makes it a little bit easier to transition
But we were already coming off a historic WNBA season
And it was propelled forward following a historic college basketball season
We got the crop we were looking for
So ironically this crop is the same crop that ushered in the new wave of college basketball
So Paige Becker, Kaitlyn Clark, Angel Reese, Rekia Jackson
And it was another one
Camila Cadoza
They were all one high school class
They all came out of the same class
I believe of 2020
They all were the same high school class together
So now they all enter
And you know, Kaitlyn goes to Iowa
Paige goes to UConn
Angel goes to Maryland
Rekia goes to Tennessee
And Camila goes to South Carolina
The only person to change for her school
Ends up being Angel
Ends up at LSU
But they are the class that ushers in the new wave of college basketball
Why?
That new wave is spearheaded from Kaitlyn Clark, Angel Reese, and Camila Cadoza's three teams
Paige Becker's of course
Now you get it more with the Juju Watkins of the world
Kiki, that also is at USC now
You get more of those top talents
You have so many of those top talents
With personalities
With people that want to see them play
And so now that famous draft class
That famous high school class rather
Of 2019
Is now on the WNBA
Yeah, because you come in 19, you finish 20, 23
That class of 2019
Is now on the WNBA
My name is Paige Becker
Paige is probably in the WNBA has she not torn her ACL
But she popped her ACL missing her junior year
So she wants to play for four years
So she's coming back
But Kaitlyn Clark, Angel Reese, Rekia Jackson, Camila Cadoza
Spearhead this rookie class
And off the propel
Off the
I don't want to
Oh, oh, I forgot
Cameron Brink is also in their high school class
I kept saying Rekia Jackson
But Cameron Brink is also in the high school class
So using that launch and that propel forward
Into the WNBA season
You're getting historic ratings
The Indiana Fever is selling like the Indiana Pacers
I mean, it's absolutely historic
You get the Chicago sky
They're setting attendance records
Of course, the Aces are going to do what they do
Sell out arenas all over the country
The Atlanta Dream before they fell out of the face of the earth
They were setting attendance records
You're getting mass attendance records
You did not see before
You did not think was possible
You get a fully chartered flight season
I mean, I think the first couple of weeks
They were still using commercial flights
And then after the first couple of weeks
Everybody flew private
Which is or flew chartered, which is huge
You know, there, you know, you get your own plane
There's 15, you know, the staff
If you bring the whole coaching staff
It's probably about five or six
Three trainers is three
Twelve players
In a 747, there's, you know, in the special 747
A chartered 747
There's probably 30 seats
You fill 22 of them
And you're flying from city to city
You don't have to wait on a tarmac
You don't have to wait on a commercial flight
You're not jammed against the window
You're not trying to book your seats together
Just so you're able to
Kind of keep some kind of continuity
You know, you're flying chartered
You're getting on a plane
You're sitting back
You're going to your next city
And I think we're seeing that a lot
With the product of the WNBA improving
I don't want to go too far into that
But we're seeing a lot of the WNBA product improving
Because of the fact that they're not having to deal with these commercial issues
You're not having to deal with the fact that
Oh, we played in Vegas on Friday night
We got a back to back, which is wild
We got a back to back in Chicago on Saturday night
We had our flight was late
We couldn't, our seats were messed up
We had to get delayed
We didn't even take off to Vegas at 4 a.m.
You know, you don't have all these weird problems
When the game is over, you're chartered sitting there
You get out of the game in Las Vegas
You shower, you get on, you get in some sweatsuits
You get on the flight to Chicago
You land, the game ends at 10
You probably land
You probably take off about 10, 45, 11
Land for about one
You're in your hotel room for like 1.30
And you don't have morning shoot
As opposed to you're dealing with a commercial flight
You either get the light
You either get the red-eye flight
That might not lead to a midnight
Or you know what I'm saying?
It's just you were dealing with so many problems
And WNBA was doing stuff like
They were, you know, chartering that back to back
Change city flight for that reason
But flight problems happened all over the place
Anyway, you know what I'm saying?
You were having trouble
I think that's why the product is better
You're seeing a lot of that
A road team is playing well
Because they're not having to deal with the problems of old
But anyway, you parlay an amazing first half of the season
Into the Olympic break
Now you got all of our stars together
Angel Reese and Katelyn Clark
I'm sure they'll help lead the 20-28 team
Along with the Brianna Stewart, Asia Wilson,
Juju Watkins probably is there, Paige Becker's
They'll help lead the 20-28 team
But it was kind of a run of Diana Tarassi's last run
This was Brittany Griner's last run
This was, there was somebody I think Chelsea
It's Chelsea Gray's last run in the Olympics
And you get these teams
Diana Tarassi going for her sixth straight gold medal
In basketball record in the Olympics
And you just get this great moment
Where the world is watching
The countries watch the Olympics
The countries watch the WNBA
And they're roaring pace
I've had people who hated the WNBA
Couldn't stand the WNBA
Now I'm talking about they'd rather watch the WNBA
Than the NBA
Like watching the W
Transition to the Olympics
And our stars showed up
Asian Brianna Stewart showed up
And it gets down to a gold medal game
But they are challenged
They are down like 11
At one point
And it's like, oh my God, they might lose
And there Gabby Williams sliding her foot back
Another three inches away from going to overtime
So now you come out of the Olympic break
You get the gold medal
You fight
You show the world
Women's basketball is amazing
Now you go into the Olympic break
And you are back
And the history is already being made
So Caitlin Clark, congratulations to her
She breaks the rookie record for assists
With her 226th assist she had in her last game
She had a couple more after that
She'll push the record probably
To where nobody gets it for a lovely while
Now she had previously broken the turn of record
For the league before the Olympic break
She now gets the rookie assist record
Right after the Olympic break
And that break could have been huge for her
In regards to she got two weeks off
Because if you look at it
The schedule for a college star is wild
So she was in the national championship game in April
She gets drafted in May
Early April she's playing in that championship game
She gets drafted in late April, early May
She's playing in the WNBA preseason in late May
So she goes from college to pros in a month and a half
If you think about the male schedule
They finish in April
They don't...
Summer league is in the middle of June
Which is effectively older college
They don't play a real game until September, October
That's a massive gap in terms of what you are able to rest and recover
And you know, Kaitlyn's pulled in all kinds of different ways
So was the stars like Carmela Cadoza and Angel Reese
They were pulled in a thousand different directions
In that six week gap
That is just not normal for a pro athlete
And so, Kaitlyn continues to make history
She looks great
She looks like then those two weeks off was like a rejuvenation moment
Because she is just flicking the ball all over
She's spinning through the lane
She's knocking down shots
It looked like she was finally able to just...
For like two weeks, the basketball world
The women's basketball world was not focused on her
Or something related to her
For the first time in probably at least a year
Probably two
The women's basketball world was not solely
Primarily focused on her
She was able to duck down
Nobody cared
Everybody was watching the Olympics
She was able to just relax
Spend time with her family I'm sure
And just kind of take a mental break
For the first time in a long time
And then speaking of rookies making history
Angel Reese went 19 points, 20 rebounds on 50% shooting
It's the first, one of the first of its stat line
If not the first of its stat line
As she breaks the Chicago Sky team offensive rebounding record
So her
Prepends to see her talent
Her ability to offensive rebound
Even off other's misses as the stupid stereotype
Is that she only rebounds off her own misses
She shoots so bad, I hope she gets rebounds
Like no
Does she have poor shot selection? Yes
Does she need more things than her back? Yes
Does she need better touch through contact? Yes
But to...
If you took all her offensive rebounds off her own misses out
And you did it to everybody else
She's still the best rebounder
So it's a stupid narrative
But she had a great game
They lost
I think the Sky are looking at draft position
They definitely lost
To the Phoenix Mercury for the second time in as many games
But she had a great night overall
But there is one thing
That Paris did not change
Not even a little bit
Paris did not change the fact that Angel Asia Wilson is still
Ridiculous in her last game
Which was last night
Her record is on Monday night so Sunday
On evening, afternoon, night
She goes 34 points
13 rebounds on 60% shooting
And all but locks Vegas into the playoffs
Mathematically
They are not officially locked
However, they're effectively locked
Into the playoffs
She's the best player in the world
She has a legitimate case for defensive player of the year
She's run away and hit with DMVP already
She has a legitimate case for defensive player of the year as well
They may give it to Brianna Stewart
Brianna Stewart has had a good year on defense
But
Asia Wilson has a legitimate case for DPOY
She is the league's MVP
She's going to be first team all W
First team all defense
First team all W all defense
She is absolutely ridiculous in terms of her ability
On both ends of the court
The preseason poll was incredibly accurate
Where they listed her as the best defensive player
The best offensive player
And the best total player
She is the standard in the WNBA
She is the first WNBA player to ever be ready 9-9 overall in the NBA 2K
She is the standard in the W
And she's continuing to show it every single night
She's on the floor
And congratulations
In order to the New York Liberty
As they clinch the
They officially, mathematically
Lock up their playoff spots
So they could lose every game the rest of the year
And they cannot fall out of the playoffs
They could fall in their seating
But they cannot fall out of the playoffs
So congratulations to the New York Liberty
For being the first team to clinch
When I'm speaking of those things
We're going to go through them really quickly
You have the New York Liberty
Followed by the Connecticut Sun
Then the Minnesota Lynx
Who won the Commissioner's Cup
The Las Vegas Aces
The Seattle Storm
That's a hell of a first time matchup
Phoenix Mercury
Indiana Fever
Led by Kealan Clark
Chicago Sky
Are still in
Led by their rookie Twin Towers
Camila Cardoso and Angel Reese
They are the last seed in the playoff currently
So they will get the Liberty in the first round
If it ends today
It'll be in New York
Chicago
Connecticut, Indiana
Minnesota
Phoenix
And then Vegas and Seattle
And your ninth seed
A game and a half out of the playoffs
Is Atlanta
Dallas Wings
Four and a half out of the playoffs
And tenth
And eleventh
The Los Angeles Sparks
Five games out
And the Washington Mystics
Are also five games out of the playoffs
As it sits right now
So we have an exciting few games left
It's about 14-ish games
For most people left in the regular season
12 to 14-ish games left in the regular season
In our WNBA season
That we'll be barreling into the playoffs
But up next
We'll be talking about the NFL
What's going on there
Welcome back into the show
And now we're going to jump into the NFL
Discuss what's going on
Discuss what's going on with the preseason
And we have some news coming out
I have some opinions to talk about
Got some complaining to talk about
A lot of things going on with the Shield
We're going to start off with the rookie class
So as you guys know
The NFL went 1-2-3
In the draft with quarterbacks
Caleb Williams
With just Chicago Bears
From the Carolina Panthers pick
So Carolina, you could've did nothing
And ended with Caleb Williams
And a whole lot of other stuff
Like DJ Moore
And some other stuff that they could've had
But they didn't hear nor there
Jay Daniels goes to the Washington Commanders
And then Drake May goes to the New England Patriots
So quarterbacks went 1-2-3
One of the rare times
I think it was like 4 or 5 times
Since 1977
In the modern draft era
That's happened
And Daniels and Williams
Williams was announced
Almost on draft night
He's QB1
Jay Daniels officially announced today
Being Monday
That he was QB1
Drake May however
Is still waiting in New England
Ultimately, I think Drake May should be QB1
And it kinda depends on your school of thought
Some people
Okay, I'm gonna take this from two different angles
And two different points
So my first angle is gonna be
Hey, if it's close
What do you do if it's close?
If it's close
One school of thought is
Go with the vet
The other school of thought is
If it's close
Go with the rookie
I'm an opponent of
Go with the younger player
If it's close
Go with the younger player
Or the more physically gifted player
Or the more athletically gifted player
If it's close
If it comes down to
Where it looks a lot alike
And it's very similar number wise
And production's about the same
Go with the more athletically gifted
And or younger player
It's just my school of thought
The other school of thought is
What do you do about rookie quarterbacks in general?
Some say throw them in the fire
Some say let them learn
Let them watch and learn
I am a proponent of two things on this
For those who would say automatically
Let them watch and learn
It is what it is
But if you're in the throw them in the fire category
I believe there's two ways to attack this
Our first way is
You cannot learn football by watching football
On the other hand
You cannot learn how to play in the NFL
Watching people play in the NFL
It doesn't work
Otherwise it would be a ton more people in the NFL
It just doesn't work
You cannot get ready to play in the NFL
By watching people play in the NFL
And my second school of thought is
It depends on what that player has shown you
So if you get a situation like your Caleb Williams
And it's out there playing the scene
Or Jane Daniels and it's out there playing the scene
Yeah okay
You absolutely make that move
And you make them QB one
Drake May is a little less playing the scene
However it is close between him and Jacob Berset
Which is why I was saying you should go with Drake May
Again if it's close
Go with the athletically more
The more athletically gifted younger player
Both of those teams are Drake May over Jacob Berset
No disrespect to Jacob Berset
He is and will continue to serve a very valuable point for us
I am simply saying that at the time being
He is not the best option for us
Because it is close between May
Now if Berset was out there
Throwing 70%
And May was throwing 50% and 52%
And you know May had 4 or 5 picks
And Berset had 2 or 3 touchdowns
No picks
Okay that's a different conversation
But considering their numbers are fairly similar
I would go with Drake May to be QB one
Because you get to find out relatively quickly
Do you have anything or is this fool's goal
If it's fool's goal
You'll be able to pivot quickly
If you got something
You'll be able to immediately begin to build around him
And not waste valuable rookie contractual years
Alright so let's talk about it
To Tagovailoa
The recently paid gentleman
He was talking on a podcast or radio interview or something
About Brian Flores
And basically he pulled the Brian Coach Flow was too hard on me
He tore me down
He didn't build me up
And I didn't want to take Coach Flow and Mike with that
Brian Flores obviously is a no nonsense defensive style head coach
So if you are the quarterback for said coach
Perfection is not even mandatory
It's like it's expected
You are to be perfect
Or very excellent
Playing quarterback for an old school defensive head coach
Because your whole job is to not put his defense in a bad spot
There's nothing that a defensive coach hates more
Than when he looks up and sees 14 points
And 10 of them are from a turnover touchdown
And a really short field field goal
He hates that because he looks at that
He has to take up for points
That he didn't even have to
He has to account for points that wasn't his
So a tool to talk about Loa who was
A little turnover happy
Who did have some injury issues
That is something that he would want to correct immediately
I'm totally with Coach Flow here
If you're a hard coach you're a hard coach
Like he did not have the
The cooth and the understanding that quarterbacks are 99% of the time a little different than
everybody else
But I definitely agree with him
Because tool to talk about Loa played like dog crap on the blind floors
It wasn't like he was lighting the world on fire
He played like crap under the blind floors
So I totally understand what the blind floors was saying
What he said
Basically saying like dude you're killing me
And that you're not good right now
You need to get this together
But I'm just not a fan of talking about your previous head coaches
Regardless of the situation
I'm not a fan of that
So hopefully tool doesn't get any sideways with any players in there
I'm just not a fan of that
Especially if and when they play you and they're in your conference
So I'm just not a big fan of that at all
Alright so the Steelers offense
I can't confirm this
I cannot confirm about the Steelers offense
I am 95% sure they've never left the bus yet
I mean they have
They are absolutely putrid
They're bad
Like they're really bad
Like they are downright awful
Like regardless of anything that's going on
Regardless of trying to figure out a quarterback situation
How many starters played
None of that
They looked bad
This is a scenario where it's closely bad
Go with the vet
Because in the event where it still starts off slow
It's much easier to me to justify going from vet to youth
Than go from youth to vet
Because you can go from vet to youth
And there's a path back for the vet
Any event that the youth doesn't work out
You know it's a path back
If you go from youth to vet
It's over for the youth
I think you start Russell Wilson early
I think you're allowing him to get through the first 4 to 6 weeks
And if you look up and you're 3 and 3
And you got a putrid offense
Make the switch
If you look up and you're 5 and 1
And you're humming a little bit
Don't make the switch
If you look up and you're 1 and 5
And you ain't humming at all
Definitely make the switch
Because you have to think about
Is field the long term solution
If that's the case
You have to almost treat this like your first year
With him on his rookie contract
Because you got 4 years
You got to accumulate talent
You got to accumulate operations
You got to accumulate a lot of different things
In order to be ready to go at the tip top of the NFL from the door
And the Steelers are going to have a lot of good stuff
So that is something to definitely look over here at the GM
Alright so the New Orleans Saints
Actually looked alive
Like they looked like they could be something
Now it's taking them a few drives to get in the end zone
But Derek Carr, Alma Camara, Chris Alave and the rest of that crew
Look like they are figuring life out to an extent
Which is a positive in New Orleans
We know their defense is going to be real
We know their defense is in New Orleans
In the words of Stephen A. Smith
You know New Orleans is going to have a top 12 ranked defense
Like you just know that right
And so when you get a situation like the Saints
Being able to score points offensively
That's going to be major for them this season
As they are able to now lean on their defense a little more
But that defense now I can take a little gamble
You know if I get popped on this big run
Because I took a bad run trying to gamble
And we are still up 14 to 7
I'm not getting super nervous about anything
And they are so advantageous to have that
As opposed to the Saints of a couple years prior
Was man we are in a shootout
I hope we can match
A lot of times we didn't
And so that is what's going on with the Saints
Keeping an eye on the Alma Camara contract
And such a situation
So far it is quiet on the western front
A couple of quick kitters
Gardner Menchu is officially QB1
With the Las Vegas Raiders
Tug of Trap went 5-5 with a touchdown in his last preseason game
Chiefs really did look good
But they didn't score any of the Mahomes drives
All his drives were field goals
They ended up booting one in after Coach left
But that is the gist on the Chiefs offense
And then the preseason in general
I thought I was going to go to college football
We don't have a preseason
But the preseason in general has been a snooze fest
And the reason why is
I grew up in an era of pre-joint practice being a thing for real
So when you wanted to practice with somebody on another team
You had to go to them, they had to come to you, you had to meet them at a new site, whatever
And so those practices were usually close off practices
Where it was 1 vs 1s and you would see each other in the game
They have established such a high level of joint practice culture
That now those coaches that are famous for playing starters don't do it
Because you are unable to get the maximum effort out of guys
They're worried about getting hurt not in practice
They're just running around emotionally anyway
And so it'll be perfectly okay if
Those guys didn't play in the game and they did the joint practice
And joint practice is killing the preseason game
Because now that last string practice is effectively the walkthrough
That everybody used to get out of the preseason
But up next, we are going to talk about college football
What's going down with Barrel Toys Week Zero
Welcome back into the show
And now we are going to discuss the college football
It is back, college football is back baby
It's been so long
College football is one of those sports that genuinely feels like it takes forever
It feels like it takes so long for college football to come back
And yet we've made it
We have made it
We have made it week zero as it is called now
Week zero is Saturday
It is headlined of course by Florida State and Georgia Tech
If you're looking for the betting hours on that game
Florida State's 11 and a point favorite
The over-under is a 55 and a half
Georgia Tech is money line plus 360
According to ESPN, match up predictor a 79.7% chance of Florida State winning
This game will be in Aviva Stadium
Which I'm not sure whether
I think that's in London
Or England, I'm going to look now
Aviva Stadium is the whole side of the game
And we'll do a big
It's in Ireland, yeah it's the game in Ireland
So we'll do a big coverage of course of week one
Whenever it's coming out we'll talk about our big games
We've got Colorado, North Dakota State
We have LSU, USC
We have flick four ranked games coming in week one
Like I said in all ways, we have our week zero Florida State, Georgia Tech
So a lot of different excitement this year
I mean if you look at the college football landscape
There's a lot of things happening
You've got the arrival of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC
This is the first time they've ever been in the SEC
So we have the arrival of those two coming in
We have the first time we don't have divisions in our conferences
I was talking to one guy earlier
He was like yeah LSU is going to finish third in the west
And I was like there is no east west
And it's kind of like it's the first time in history
So we can see rematches in the conference championship game
Like for instance, let's just say
Of course LSU are going to play
So let's say LSU and BAM will play
LSU wins
LSU goes to LSU in Atlanta
They're the undefeated team
Alabama is a one loss team
Nobody else has more than one loss
Nobody else has one loss or fewer
LSU and BAM will play again for the conference championship game
Now this was previously impossible because of divisions
And I think what divisions did was it was helping travel
It's sort of like what I think about the NFL
There's no reason why the NFL or the NBA rather should have conferences
I kind of get it with the NFL
Other than the NFL I prefer divisions
I don't understand why
Because in the NFL you don't play everybody
Right?
Like you don't
You just don't play everybody
Like you play 17 games with 32 teams
So there's 14 teams a year you don't play
And if you do the double division games
There's like you know
17 teams a year you don't play
So I'm perfectly fine with it being sort of division system in the NFL
I don't think you need AFC, NFC
I think you could just do like everybody groups in their divisions
And then you kind of just randomize what divisions you play
I think that would be pretty cool as far as scheduling
Would be concerned
But like in college football
There's a bunch of protected rivalries and stuff like that
So people got rid of the divisions
In order to not make it too complicated
Like the big 10 don't have divisions
No one has divisions really
In order to not make things too complicated
But like I said they have those protected rivalries
Like LSU is going to play Alabama
Oklahoma is going to play Texas
Georgia is going to play Florida
Try to think of another one
Florida has another one with somebody else
But like if Florida and LSU is a pretty traditional opponent
Mississippi is going to play Ole Miss
Auburn is going to play Alabama
Like LSU is going to play Arkansas
Certain things is going to happen
Just purely because of
That's the way it is and they're called protected rivalries
Regardless of what's going to happen
The NCAA and these conferences
Were going to ensure certain games got played
It did not matter
And so that's kind of where we are right now
But I kind of enjoy the no division system
You get your protected rivals every year
Like LSU is going to get Arkansas
Probably Florida gets back on the schedule
Within Alabama every single year
And then from that point
It kind of randomizes from the rest
To me Texas should get
Oklahoma of course
Texas, Tech
And potentially Bama
Every single year
And kind of protect their rivalries
And then with the new 12 team playoff
You could suffer
Um
You could suffer
Um
And deal with it
Um early
You could suffer losses as long as you get to the conference championship game
And that's why I think I love
Conference championship games
You could suffer a loss early
Two losses in conference early
And then you could win your conference championship game
And get to the college football playoff
As one of the 12 best teams
And then you automatically re-seed as one of the top five seeds
So you have
Inadvantages there
It's going to be very interesting to see how this season shakes out
I think Colorado is going to be one of our bigger storylines
Especially early
I think if they come out and they beat North Dakota State
They go 4-0
5-0
You're going to see them rank in the top 15 probably
And then there's going to be a lot of pressure on them
At that point
A lot of celebrity come back
A lot of star power
A lot of so on and so forth
That they were surrounded with last season
You're going to get a lot of that
Back if they come out hot
LSU's got a situation that
This is the first time
And the Brian Kelly experiment
Isn't done at LSU by any means
But this is the first time truly where he
Carries a little bit of the expectations
Okay this is all your staff
You're going to see a lot of guys
There's no holdovers
You've brought guys back
He sent away
Corey Raymond and Blake Baker
He's brought both of those guys back in house
OC is DC
And then the cornerback coach
He's brought back Frank Wilson
He's brought Dan Brodavis
He's done a lot of things that has
Been designed to be
Really really good for LSU
You've got Kailin D'Bourg
Nick Saban the absolute legend
The man with a statue outside
And it ain't like Nick Saban retired from the building
He has an office upstairs
Like it's pretty insane
You have Mario
Cristobal
At Miami
Trying to get that shit together with the Defensive
Coordinator Lance Guidry shout out coach
Who I worked under
You have Dan Lanning who's talked a lot of
Junk about Colorado
And others
You've got Lincoln Riley in USC
Entering the Big Ten
You've got Stanford in the ACC
So you have so many different storylines
Spread out throughout the country
In terms of how this thing could be attacked
How this thing could be set up
It's going to be very interesting to watch and to see
On Front Street
I'm going to say
I'm my national champion right now
I don't have one
It's tempting to say Georgia
It really is
The champion last year
Was kind of out of nowhere
It was Michigan
It's tempting to say Georgia
So I'm going to go there
Screw it I'm an LSU fan
I'm going to LSU I'm going to win Maddie
Screw it right
Another bigger storyline
You want to keep an eye on is Ohio State
To me they hired the heir apparent
To Ryan Day which was Chip Kelly
Chip Kelly was the head coach at UCLA
He voluntarily
The office coordinator at Ohio State
Conveniently went to Ryan Day
The current head coach at Ohio State
Is having problems
Especially on the hot seat
He's holding that
He is
Having issues
With his defense
And he brings in an office coordinator
Okay I think Chip Kelly
Is going to be the coach
And waiting at Ohio State unofficially
If Ryan Day were to get fired
Chip Kelly steps up and takes over
That's what I think the situation is
At Ohio State
Very interesting
Very entertaining situation
I'm excited to look at this season
Excited to watch this season
Glad college football is back
Up next we're going to have our best
Falaspa is going to be a talk about Noah Lyles
And Tyree Kale
Welcome back
Into the show
And now we're going to have our best Falaspa
We're going to be a talk about
This beef between Noah Lyles and Tyree Kale
So if you guys want to know who Noah Lyles is
He recently won
He recently became the fastest man in the world
That title is bestowed to whoever wins
The 100 meter dash at the Olympics
It's just the way it is
I don't make the rules
I don't care that he won by the hair on his chest
I don't care
I know that is the rule
The fastest man on the planet
Is decided at the Olympics
In the 100 meter dash
Conversely same thing with the women
The fastest woman in the world is the young lady
From St. Lucia
She is the fastest woman in the world
She won the 100 meter dash
At the Olympics
That's just the way it is
Noah Lyles is the fastest man in the world
He's also probably one of the least likeable athletes ever
That little negro is annoying
He is just
Naturally annoying
And it's purposeful
There was an report that came out
That he skipped Anthony Edwards
Shoe release
Saying what did Anthony Edwards want
To be a world champion
He was also the same person that said
That the NBA should not call themselves
World champions
Because they are not competing against the world
Then he started talking about the NFL players
It was just like he's basically hating
On every other sport but his
And it's almost like he wanted to play
Other sports and just couldn't
He was a really tall fast dude
And so a tall really fast dude
And so that's where they put him as a niche
He couldn't be a basketball player
He just slanders
Those sports
And so it's just annoying
He's annoying
But anyway he got the attention of Tyreek Hill
Tyreek Hill shot back at him with a few things
And then ultimately said he'd smoke him
Noah Lyles
I think through his agent
Maybe directly said basically
Noah's not going to respond
However if Tyreek wants to race
Set it up and then race
Otherwise stop talking
Noah Lyles is annoying
99.9% of the time
He's right in this case
If your thing is I can beat him
In a race
Race him
If you're not going to race him
Don't talk about it
Tyreek Hill when he was 16
17 years old
Was one of the fastest men in the world
Top 7 or 8
Fastest Americans for sure
In the country
And so
But now
I think I know DK Metcalfe tried to go for a try
But Tyreek Hill tried to run another time
It was way shorter than his old time
He's not training for track anymore
He's trying out football
His body is different
His age is different
His physical pounding is different
Than it was in his track prime
It's just a different level of punishment
And so
You have a guy like Noah Lyles
Who's saying set it up and we'll run
Tyreek Hill you either have to run him or shut up about it
There's no other alternative
You've called him out
You said you'll beat him
You either have to run against him
Or you have to be quiet
Until you either run against him or you never talk about him
Specifically in that vein ever again
Call him a hater
Call him what you want but when you start saying things like I can beat him in a race
You either have to race him or you have to stop talking about it
So in this case
You have to be quiet
In all the other cases he's an annoying prick and I wish he would stop talking
But that is all
We have for the day
