In sports if you want to be the best there are no off days bring it on down to nodp podval welcome on into the nor days podcast we got Chris KO Brian King is in the booth I’m Scott Smith and um kind of carrying that SNL theme I’ve got
A playoff fever and the only prescription is more playoffs and that’s what we’re going to get this weekend my friend I I’ve got pneumonia after watching some of those games in the cold night I mean that when you whenever you have like record temperatures they have
To you know they push that Buffalo game back because there was just too too much snow and then you get to Monday and you’re like wait a minute there was too much snow then you see people shoveling their way into their seats fans disappearing as they trudge to their
Seats yeah you got to sit on top of the snow drift so yeah those are hearty people man I couldn’t do it I know you have to be I mean you have to have already spent a lot of money on your ticket probably number one but obviously
We know these people are die hards there was a clip that was circulating of bills Mafia where you had you know they’re up to their typical Shenanigans they they are standing on top of what looked you know it was about 20 feet of piled snow and they’re jumping of course onto a
Folding table but the table was U on fire you know so like off a snow drift onto a burning table and that’s that’s how they get warmed up that’s one way to do it I bet some people in Kansas City would love some burning tables around them yeah my goodness what was that
Negative 27 windchill I don’t know I I think the fans have it a lot worse than the players the players at least have the the heated benches and the unless you’re a player and then you’re just like I think the benches are that is
True yeah it brings it up to trust me I warmed a lot of them in high school they’re heated warms it up to about zero degrees let’s bring in Brian King and Brian I know that you watched the Full Slate of uh the the wild card games but
We had two on Monday night including the one that capped it off here on super Wild Card Weekend which was the Bucks what was your overall take on super Wild Card Weekend oh I kind of enjoyed it actually the you know I thought the Bucks did obviously well how can you not
Be you know how can you be disappointed with that I kind of liked having the two games on Monday though you know because moving that game back to Monday the bills and Steelers it’s kind of fun having a little double header on Monday there on the holiday well you you can’t
Go wrong with more football on any given day but again my issue was like I wanted to watch these games at 1:00 and so I wanted to be able to sit down and veg the entire day and I found myself having to do things until 4 o’clock hanging out
With your family right that’s not that’s no fun so I think the can people in Kansas City wouldn’t mind that game at being at one either yeah well I don’t know how much different that would I mean I guess when the when the sun drops I’m telling you man I mean it was
Just bitter cold to watch but I really enjoyed looking at Andy Reid’s uh snicle M mustache like the the the the snot icicles that were forming on his stash it was just he couldn’t look any more like a walrus Mr Freeze yeah my goodness
Yeah so we had it good here in in Tampa where not even the rain that many people thought could be coming we didn’t have that so it was it was perfect perfect weather it was great great atmosphere and you know there was a lot of Eagle
Fans that live in the Tamp Bay Area yeah uh but a lot of them did not make it to the game I think they had a feeling that uh this team was going in the wrong direction and they didn’t want to waste their hard-earned money because there
Was a ton of Bucks fans they packed it out so yeah it was it was a good atmosphere on Monday night and it was a nice way to to bring it home Buck moving on who would have thought if you think uh your team is going to lose so do you
Bring the you bring the paper grocery bags to the game like these fans they were prepared you don’t just go get those from concessions well did you see old boy that threw the popcorn bucket on serani seru was just glad it wasn’t a D battery like Santa Claus right well that
Guy he he looks like he’s done that a few times or four because as soon as he did it he’s like I’m heading to the exits he was not surprised at all when security hemmed him up when he was halfway up those steps he’s like yeah
Yeah I know come on best 122 investment he’s ever made we we’ll see if serani is back um all right so what do we have on today’s program BK uh we’re goingon to talk a little bit of NFL with Bill bich we’re gonna try to figure out what team
Would be the best fit for him if he’s G get back in coaching you I mean like you guess he would wouldn’t you uh yeah no I mean I think he has every intention of coaching again and there’s he’s one of the big dominoes that’s going to have to
Fall here and as we tape the show on on Wednesday night you know still I mean the only the only job that’s been filled is uh is the one in New England his old job but everything else is still is still open so I I mean maybe he’s the
First Domino to fall I’m I’m not sure we’ll kind of get into just what he brings and the teams that might be in play for for the hoodie uh what else and then uh I guess at the end of the show what we’re going to do is college in
Detroit Wayne State University they come up with a list of words that they thought that you know we need to bring back into our vocabulary so what I’m going to do is a list of 10 words pretty strange unique words I’m going to let you hear them and you tell me what these
Definitions of these words are oh that’ be F I love this we do we do need new words and we need to cancel some of the words that people are now using right well Chris studies a dictionary so I feel like he has a little bit plus he’s
Kind of he has an old timey uh language to him too you’re being obstreperous and I don’t appreciate exactly um all right very good BK we’ll catch up with you shortly here if you’re listening and you want to watch go to fox13news.com nopt if you’re watching

Get ready for the divisional round of games The Fallout from Wild Card Weekend of course we mentioned those those cold weather games I I’m just curious like what type of person is gladly enduring that I mean I love football but I you know I have obviously been to a lot of
Games seen a lot of games my prefer my preferred spot is on my couch yeah that’s where I like to watch games I think it’s the best viewing experience I don’t have to deal with traffic with drunk people I don’t have to wait in line for bathrooms or spend you know
Ridiculous amounts of money on food or drinks uh but these people I mean they’re lining up they’re doing all that plus they might have frostbite being miserable yeah but some of them didn’t look miserable for the record my favorite spot to watch a game is your couch too your wife Karina’s generous
With the snacks I’m drinking your beer not mine and it’s a good place to sleep it off yeah you that’s Yeah a different breed right as you said we had it good in Tampa we’re worried about a little rain and it’s like upper 60s or 70 I don’t know man I
I I don’t know how you go to a game like that especially in Kansas City the fans are standing on concrete there and you’re just I don’t know how how you do that like that’s another level of dedication the coldest game that I can recall ever attending and maybe it was
Just cuz I didn’t bring enough layers that’s probably the case but it was at Arrowhead and it was a big 12 championship game against it was Oklahoma and missou and this was back in the day and I was actually on the sideline shooting the game and it felt
Like and I had gloves on and it felt like my fingernails were pulling back off of my finger like it just like everything hurt everything hurt and it was it you know we saw that the windshield brought it back down to – 27 and that’s the issue it’s like the wind
That whips up I mean it’s already cold but you get that wind going man and that that’ll take out the did your lips get ashy like Tyreek kill yeah that wasn’t the only thing so yeah for sure um but the result of these games is we had you
Know I know BK say he loves the the games and I love them because they’re playoff games but the reality is we had like five of the six games were lopsided right so at least you know two touchdown wins by most of these games uh the biggest blowout Texans by 31 over the
Browns the only tight game was was the Lions and the Rams and boy that was a nailbiter down the stretch had all the makings of what what I thought was going to be a Rams walk-off field goal but the the the Lions held tight there um so now
You have to go back seven years to find a more lopsided Wild Card Weekend so you know we talk in college football about we like expanding the playoffs or at least you got kind of go back and forth waffle a little bit on that but the
Consensus of the show is that we like we are fans of the of the playoff expansion but now you look at the these wild card games and you’re like well I don’t know did some of these teams deserve not to be there but then you look at who who
Was picked and and half of the teams that won were The Underdogs you know so you had the likes of the Packers you know the seven seed uh pulling the upset at Jerry world and you know the Texans beating a red hot Browns team right so I
Mean the results were you know maybe lopsided but it was a lot of The Underdogs getting it done it was it was and you know you have been looking at my notes here yeah same thing that I observed too it was uh not as competitive as we would like and I also
Thought about it in the construct of the college football playoff but I think the ultimate point is the upside to having as we look at the college football playoff expanding having you know more games is that it does allow the flawed teams more opportunity to have those
Flaws exposed and hopefully it leads to better games in the semi-finals and then ultimately the championship match and I think that’s what we’ll get with these NFL playoff matchups too yeah you know I think the the takeaway from from those upsets are the question like is it just
The fact that the Texans and the Packers and the Bucks are peaking or were the Cowboys Eagles Browns fading I think we can all agree that the Eagles were certainly fading uh but I mean you there was no indication Browns weren’t fading the Browns weren’t fading there was no
Indication that the Cowboys would would Keel over other than it was the playoffs and they’ve been prone to do that yeah but it was a home game they hadn’t Lost In Forever at home so I mean that it’s just it’s wild but you know one of the
Things I think you pull out of that too is like the rise of these young quarterbacks namely CJ strad and Jordan love like you know big players ultimately the ones that end up in Canton most of them they kind of you know they butter their bread here in the
Postseason this is where they they play big and man both of those guys I thought played played great games their numbers actually you know if you look at their numbers they were like nearly identical so they were both 16 of 21 passing CJ Strat had 274 yards Jordan love had 272
They both had three touchdowns no picks and both of them got really a lot of help from their defense they did some pick sixes too which I think is probably the bigger story yeah especially with the Texans there Jordan love to me I I mean yeah CJ strout awesome too but
Jordan love was so impressive to me because he was doing it he made some of the best throws with a defender in his chest throwing it off of the back foot and his throws were right on the money in the last nine games he’s seven and2 with 21 touchdowns and one interception
I mean he’s it makes you wonder and I know this is sometimes we get carried away here but it makes you wonder if the Green Bay Packers have done it again because Brett Favre was playing at an MVP level when they drafted Rogers Rogers was the reigning MVP when they
Drafted love and I mean I know I know it’s one season but if you and you’ve seen the graphics I know that compare love to Rogers and where they both were in their first year as a starter and it’s uh love has the edge in a lot of these categories it’s pretty incredible
Yeah no it is and I you know I also wonder if if just the fact that they’re located in Green Bay where there’s really no distraction there there’s no life really outside of football uh they are they’ as a as a franchise they’re kind of the small team they’re the Adam
Vers or the the David ver versus Goliath kind of you know when it comes to fan base and you know that it’s a small town still kind of has that old school football feel that you wonder that like that that environment makes for uh you
Know like a I guess a greater Focus to football I don’t know I mean especially if you’re the guy like they they’ve had bad quarterbacks obviously in Green Bay history but there’s been a number of very good ones and now we’ve seen it in successive kind of generations so must
Be something to it yeah no it’s certainly impressive and you know you look at at these these Texans and the Packers and you almost think like I mean they’re ahead of they’re ahead of where people thought they would be I mean everybody had hopes that Jordan love at
Least Packer fans had hopes that Jordan love would carry this team eventually to the playoffs CJ St he’s a rookie you know like this they’re playing with house money right now and they’re they’re so far ahead of the curve that like you Wonder going into these games
Like they kind of have like nothing to lose man they’ve already like checked those boxes like they’ve the fan bases if they if they lost this weekend I don’t think they any of them would say a negative word about what they what this these teams have done and you could
Throw the Bucks in that conversation too by the way right um but when you know there’s something to be said for playing loose too uh I think that there there is however a different totally different feeling in uh the cities of Dallas and Philadelphia right now and I’m curious
What you think is the most disappointing between those two exits in the first round of the playoffs which one do you think is the most disappointing I think it’s the Eagles and maybe that’s because I lived in work in Philadelphia for a while and I know right now that they are
Still just can’t believe what happened to their birds I mean if you look at how their season went they were 10- one after week 12 best record in the league then they lose five of their last six including blowouts to the 49ers and Cowboys and and Giants and a an
Embarrassing home loss to the Cardinals and it was just more the way of the way they played Monday night against the Bucks they could not have looked more disinterested in in being it looked like the Bucks looked two weeks ago against the Saints when it’s like what are you
Doing here I I have not SE football defense that’s what like I don’t want to say take anything away from the way the Bucks played but the Eagles couldn’t tackle yeah they they couldn’t they just could not tackle uh it it was um like a
TSA security agent a quick pat down of a receiver and okay you’re good you’re on to the End Zone it was I I think of those too um especially when like you said earlier the Cowboys are kind of known for for doing that in the first
Round this Eagles team was on the verge of winning a Super Bowl last year and and looked like they had all the ingredients in place again until the calendar turned to December I I’m going to say that the Cowboys because the Eagles at least saw this kind of
Happening in slow motion you know like a lot of folks and I think that’s that’s why the turnout maybe wasn’t so great at rayj for Eagle fans is because they kind of saw what their team had become and it was it was consistent enough to say this
Is not just a you know a one-off a poor performance here and there like this team was tanking in a big way and so while it’s disappointing and it’s that’s not going to ease the feelings for Eagle fans I the expectations are still very high the Cowboys this kind of came out
Of nowhere I mean you got you’re paying your quarterback $42 million next year CD Lamb’s contract by the way is going to jump unless they sign him to an extension and able to spread that money out I think he he’s going to be making like 18 million next year so I mean they
Have a lot of people that are making a lot of money expectation was high good on both sides of the ball and then boom you just run into a wall and it’s a bad performance by the guy that’s making 42 mil too I mean Dak Prescott did not look
Good he was he was outshined by loving that game and um yeah I to me and with that owner that they have and Jerry Jones I mean obviously CH I think changes are coming but you think so look at the preseason predictions for the teams that won in upset fashion over the
Weekend the Houston Texans they were by Sports Illustrated had them 5 and 12 okay so here they are going in theis Sports Illustrated now um and and Tamp B bucaneers they had the they had them at 2 and 15 so yeah overachieving and you know maybe that helps them in the long
Run speaking of those cowboys you know should they move on for Mike McCarthy uh who would be a candidate for there a lot of people have said bill belich you know oh man you know he’s now available obviously parted ways with the Patriots line last week um but I kind of want to
Go through what we think that would be the best fit for bill bich so I’ll kind of lead it off here you know Washington last last week I mentioned it before belich was fired that I think he was G to be let go and I thought Washington
Was the best fit but that was prior to them hiring the GM that they got and Adam Peters uh he’s a young kind of innovative mind he’s been around the the Kyle Shanahan world of the coaching tree and that to me reeks of hey let’s go
Find an innovator let’s go find the next great coach not the that maybe can give us three years so I I don’t think Washington’s going to go that direction uh he is very much a now hire right you need a you need a team that’s ready to
Go uh so when you look at teams with good ownership you know Seattle’s got good ownership in the Allen family uh Atlanta Arthur Blank I think is one of the best owners in the NFL he obviously interviewed with Atlanta uh Jeffrey lurry with the Eagles Dean Spanos with
The Chargers these are pretty good you know owners to work for and then of course Jerry Jones in that mix does he does he met a little bit does he have too much of a cozy relationship with the media does he share his opinions yes it’s part of what comes with the
Territory but Bel and Jerry Jones have they have a you know kind of a mutual affection for one another um so then you look to like who’s in a win Now situation Seattle tough division is their quarterback the guy they want I’m not sure Atlanta they have do have some
Offensive weapons bejan Robinson Kow pittz they don’t really have a quarterback the eagles they seem to have the pieces uh but apparently there’s word out of Philly that Jeffrey Lorry is not a huge fan of belich oh really then you look at Dallas okay they have it all
They have it all what what did they miss in that game preparation and discipline MH like Mike McCarthy maybe doesn’t have the best postseason reputation so who’s going to give you discipline to pieces you already have in place right now that’s bill belich that’s that he fits
That bill and you know that’s my thought is I think Dallas is the place you know I I think the Bel is a great coach he’s not a long haul hire he’s not the guy you want necessarily for a total rebuild to metal in the in the you know kind of
Personnel bringing in a quarterback he’s not going to necessarily grow a quarterback like he needs a team that’s ready to go locked and loaded good ownership and I think it’s the Cowboys man so so if you’re Jerry Jones and the sanss in your hourglass of time are
Running really short then who else go with the guy that has the resume you know what I mean even though that resume is obviously very in twined with one Tom Brady but you have you you got a good quarterback and Dak Dak Prescott you know minus the performance last week I
Know I it could be the Cowboys I just think Jerry Jo I just don’t think Jones and bich would get along very well at all he wouldn’t think but I mean so so bich che’s Mentor is Bill Parcels yeah we saw how things went for him in Dallas
I mean true that that belich you know the reason that i’ uh thought the Packers had a good chance against the Cowboys is that the Cowboys couldn’t stop the run very well all season season has showed up against the bills and so that’s certainly belich something belich
Could address there but I was looking at these when I was looking at Atlanta I thought what does belich want now and he wants you know he’s got 333 career wins 14 behind Don schula so he’s looking for kind of a short-term relationship too you know and and by that something where
He could win now and I don’t think Atlanta is in a position where he could he might roll off six or seven wins maybe maybe eight but I think he wants to flounder around for a couple of years before he gets things right yes they have uh quarterback issues Desmond
Ritter but they also have the eighth pick in the upcoming draft so they might could address that quarterback spot they you know Caleb um I’m sorry uh Drake May and Caleb Williams would probably be off the board by then but they might get a uh a Jaden Daniels or a Michael pennix
Jr um but I I just don’t think that he does he does owe the Falcons for that 28-3 comeback in the Super Bowl a few years ago too but I I don’t think that’s the best spot for him in terms of of wanting to be in a spot where he could
Compete for a Super Bowl this upcoming season I tend to think it is Philadelphia and it seems like a move that it’s the kind of bold move that Howe Roseman and Jeffrey lury would make to you know to move off of a coach serani that took his team to the Super
Bowl last year I could see them doing something like this because Roseman is always in a win now mode maybe not as much as Jerry Jones is but but he kind of is and if you look at they’re going to spend money to get him the pieces he
Needs the Eagles obviously need some linebackers that can cover they their linebackers this year could not and we saw that exposed against the Buccaneers that aren’t good in coverage he could fix that and he could fix that defense that couldn’t tackle as we we’ve talked
And and I think it’s you know it’s kind of it just kind of fits him Philadelphia it’s an an an outdoor um it’s a it’s a weather type team I don’t know you’re just so used to seeing him in that hoodie that if he went indoors like
What’s he going to do going to wear a gry hoodie with the sleeves torn off in Atlanta or in Dallas I just don’t see it I just feels like an eagles move to me you know I had thought that too until I heard uh that that Jeffrey Lor is not a
Fan of Bill bich and perhaps it has to do with the scandals that he’s been associated with in years past so you know take that report from what it’s worth yeah for all the other points you made yeah I could see the Eagles working but I do know that Jerry Jones is not
Opposed to bringing in big personalities he deals with that all the time and you know here’s the beauty of that relationship is that like belich really doesn’t need the Cowboys I mean this guy he’s what 72 years old like he’s he’s a Hall of Famer I he’s done everything
Right he’s the best NFL coach most would would agree to that so he doesn’t really need to put up with any garbage and you know Jerry Jones is like if there’s ever going to be a guy that can do it how about the guy that has the best resume
In the NFL so for that I could see them kind of putting egos aside and saying hey let’s bring in a winner here within the next couple of years I mean I think Dallas they could be they could do it next year I mean so I I don’t know we’ll
See all right it could be one of those two teams or or maybe maybe he ends up with the the Panthers oh no what a situation that would be all right coming up on the no off days podcast we’re going to head out to Tuscaloosa because there’s some news that broke there last
Week that we just have not even discussed yet and I feel like it’s pertinent to the man that’s sitting uh to my left wearing some Crimson so stay with us the nodt V after this Adam shefer at it again my friend uh during the break there you know as last
Break we spent 15 20 minutes kind of me bearing my soul on why I think the Cowboys are the best fit for bill bich this just in Adam schfer says that Dallas is not making a head coaching change and Mike McCarthy is returning in the 2024 season so Philly it is all
Sounds that’s the quickest resolution to any disagreement that we’ve ever had it was like instant anous if it could always be that way yeah we shall see all right so obviously last week and it’s been a week now so I know that you’re probably not done morning yet but the
The news that rocked the college football World sabin’s Retirement up down in Alabama um and of course Bama fans are shook many handling it like it’s a a funeral but um no he’s very much alive and healthy and happy and he’s probably going to enjoy a career in
TV now uh but you tell me I’m not sure what the the location cuz I’ve never actually been on campus there but there’s a walk of Champions rightside Bri Stadium St of and previous Co Bear Bryant coaches Jean Stallings coaches that have won national championships so and and Brian you are
Welcome to join this conversation because I’m GNA I’m going to ask K some questions here because there have been some interesting little momentos that have been left at the footstep there of the goat at his statue you know I like I I know some of these I I kind of get
Some of the tie in the oatmeal cream pie thing I know that that’s his his favorite snack right that’s his breakfast really two oatmeal cream pies and a cup of coffee incredible sh how did he live to 72 you know it’s kind of like the George Burns you know smoked
What like 18 cigars a day and he lived to be 200 years old so um yeah so oatmeal crew pies I get but I’m G to I might need you guys’ help on kind of deciphering what these other things these objects that have collected there that have kind of raised some eyebrows
So uh we we Let’s see we have a a can of Four Loco which is I’m told a malt beverage uh any significance there well I Sabin said a few years ago that he hasn’t drank since his kids like for decades oh so his kids they’re saying
Here you go so maybe they’re giving him yeah a permission permission to it could be the fact that this is on a college campus and that’s all the you know the guys that Sigma new had to bring that that could be very that and that may may
Be the the reasoning behind most of these uh a wooden malard wooden malard okay what is that what what is that mean oh boy that’s a Brian you got one on on a wooden malard he’s not a duck hunter I think it’s more things are special to
The people that left them there maybe so maybe that Mard was some guy’s favorite you know piece that he had on his mantle so he took it there and said I’m going to give they’re placing items that they think are would be like buried
In the casket i’ I’ve got it this was a fan who wanted Alabama’s next coaching hire to be Dan Lanning who’s from the Ducks yeah uh a bag of ice bag of ice got to keep up for Loco cold there you go that was easy yeah I thought it was
The ice the ice water in his veins um how how about a slice of pizza um slice of pizza sitting there outside the statue probably hasn’t held up very well this would be trolling uh Dabo Sweeney because Dabo is always having a pizza party with with Clemson
To have you know when they to find out when they wi up in end up in the playoffs so this is a fan who’s saying we don’t want pizza boy as our next coach good job KO yeah um a half eaten bag of buy Sour Power candy Bel I don’t
I don’t know but I want to try these things I looked them up after seeing this list they look delicious a sour power candy bag I love it it was it’s described on this long list online you can find it uh it’s say it’s a half
Eaten bag so whoever it is you know like they had had enough well Sabin often had a sour expression on his face on the sideline so maybe that’s it uh a little touch of blasphemy here A Sign saying well done good and faithful servant your
Reward is coming com h i don’t a bear Bear Bryant uh statue handed that to him perhaps I don’t know you know there were many who worshiped these these C Yeah well yeah I got two of them on my show right here um all right I A A small
Pumpkin he was he’s born on Halloween so maybe it’s something to do with Jack that’s a good that’s a good one I like that one um a Target get gift card who everybody wants that yeah well obviously he’s not coming to collect these things so somebody is leaving it
It’s a momento to honor uh Target Target’s colors are there you go red and white okay close enough uh a bucket of pickles left fans with a uh left left his program in a pickle he left Alabama’s program in a pickle that’s true uh I feel comfortable uncomfortable
Saying this one um oh say it should I yeah the Trojan the prophylactic prophylactic okay uh you ain’t dead yet Nick that’s what that’s what that means right Brian all right those were those were the wackiest that I saw did anything else I know you’ve perused that
List and and maybe you even made the uh the trip back to Tuscaloosa to leave an item but I would do one that only true BMA fans would get okay and so it would be Brian a ten horn there you go my favorite quote can I get a explanation
On that well he uh at one point early in his Alabama Career Alabama played I think Georgia Southern you know kind of a warm-up game before Auburn and Georgia Southern was was was one of these triple option teams and they ran for over 350 yards in Alabama and sabin’s quote was
Something his father used to say which is they ran through us like excrement through a tin horn now I don’t know exactly what that means but it just means that you couldn’t stop it anything so and Bama fans you know that’s one of the things they’ll you know quote him on
There so yeah how you guys doing a week later good I don’t know man seem like a year doesn’t it I vacillate back and forth between I mean you got your guy right the chapter has moved on right now right I will say that I’ve talked myself
Into being happy with Kaylin deor okay and I do think he is going to be I think he is a good coach he’s already been a good coach and I think he’s going to be a good coach at Alabama but I’m just struggl strugling with let me throw this
Out there Brian because you and I have not we’ve talked about a lot we haven’t talked about this off um we haven’t talked about this in person I feel like Sabin could have handled this better because what we’re dealing with now is this Mass Exodus of our players from
This roster like other SEC programs Florida state is just backing a Brinks truck up and loading our players onto it um now we’ve got Caleb DS in the transfer portal which is that is the one guy you don’t want to lose that is the guy who his teammates actually compare
Him to Nick Sabin because he is so he was a freshman he led our team in tackling last season so the the the limited the so the the timing of it is really because you don’t have an opportunity to grab from other teams unless they’ve lost their coach right
Exactly we could grab from Washington because yeah and so I feel like I almost wonder if uh because the story came out after you know Sabin announced his retirement uh he did that exclusive with the ESPN and was kind of telling them how he went through the process and the
Way way he described it and I I don’t know if this is I mean I have to take him at his word but it came down to a conversation with Miss Terry his wife before this Wednesday uh team meeting and he was on the fence he could go he
Maybe stay for another year or or maybe hang it up and and so to me that made me feel like did he could he have done a better J and this is incredible to say about a man who is known for being nothing but attention to detail and
Planning meticulously but could he have done a better job of letting these players know what is coming and making them feel better about who this uh athletic department is going to bring in to help them keep this thing rolling I guess but when when would be a better
Time because I can’t I don’t really see a an opportunity in the calendar like if he’s going to retire he’s certainly not going to do it in the middle of the season right I mean he’s not going to do I’m not saying don’t do it I’m not saying necessarily anytime else like
That say the same rule applies right I’m not saying the time of the calendar was wrong I’m saying in terms of letting your players know especially those that you know are going to be vital to this incoming coach whoever it is in terms of letting them know uh what’s coming and
And doing some recruiting for your successor um not necessarily what date of the calendar is but just kind of how he these players were shocked yeah and yeah so what do you think about that Brian do you think I think they would have left anyway you think they would
Have left anyway because it’s I think they they they went there to play for Coach Sabin we’re getting a lot of feedback on social media that are saying move on so sorry guys all right uh speaking of uh a little College action how about the UCF basketball team BK you
Talked about this off the top what are they bringing to these games as for the art of distraction because you know they they do that behind everybody’s got the little gimmicks behind the the free throw shooter and you know you want to try to distract them through the glass
So what are they bring in well they’re they’re bringing in Palm prawns and those big leaves of palm trees just palm Palm Sunday every day yeah yeah I mean look they say that this is the most Florida Centric thing ever but I’m curious is it like you could blast like
Light at the free thr line sunight yeah floor like the floor of sun um you could have a rocket blasting off or maybe get the people to reenact some some type of rocket blast okay uh everybody maybe a Nerf they shoot a NERF rocket everybody wears giant oversized Mickey ears okay
That would be distracting um how about go ahead I’m sorry Al live Gator that’s that was my Goto like devouring people they would be willing to lay their life down just so we could Breck a free throw maybe it’s you know maybe we combine these two remember a couple years ago we
Had the the guy who walked into the uh liquor store carrying a gator like it’s just you know waving it around like a four maybe it’s a bunch of fans walking in with their they need to up their game they need to up their floorida game like people dressing up as giant manatees
Like you know something throwing uh half eaten Cuban sandwiches on the floor when a player gets a triple double like a hat trick you know know just or Pub Subs tossing Pub Subs hey you know what it worked though they beat number three Kansas so you know I think they got 10
Wins right now so not too bad did you see that the LA Clippers sorry to bring up NBA on this podcast but it’s relevant um the LA Clippers are uh changing one of their uh ends of their Arena to be uh they call it the wall and it’s going to
Be 51 rows of the most dedicated fans standing only so they’re making a student section to distract the other teams while free throws that’s what that’s what you got to do if you’re the other team in La yeah for sure all right very good coming up on the other side
We’re going to get to our game picks it is the divisional round of the NFL playoffs and we got four good games heading your way I think they’re going to be a lot better than these wild card games we saw this last weekend and that is coming up on the other
Side welcome back into the noof days podcast let’s dial up the Picker uh we got four NFL playoff games this weekend we got two on Saturday two on Sunday uh last week again I think we had what half the games were were upsets The Underdogs
Won you know and uh and sometimes in in convincing fashion so the question here this weekend is Chris do we get any upsets you know last last year now the one seeds are back in the pool right so the Niners and the Ravens they sat out last week and and now they’re jumping
Back in is the is there a little bit of rust do we see a little bit of rust last year uh both one seeds made it to the Super Bowl but two years ago both one seeds got knocked out in their first round in the divisional round game
So um let’s start first with the Texans Ravens the Ravens are eight-point favorites this is going to be a Saturday 4:30 kick from Charm City who do you like there Chris I was looking to where am I going to pick an upset this week do
I have to pick an upset is this the spot or I kind of I kind of look at the playoffs a little bit like uh the NCAA you know like the the tournament there’s going to be an upset which one is it you know give me give me like
116 upset something like that is it this one uh I doubted these guys last week and pick the Browns um and you know again we talked about how CJ strout is playing and we love his young receivers and really the defense is what you know
LED them to Victory as much as Stout did but I cannot pick against the Ravens Scott you it’s it’s a ninepoint I cannot I cannot it’s a nine-point spread I think it will be closer than that I got eight I got eight just for all our just
For all of our out there okay well look I still I think it’s going to be closer than it you look all the way back in week one these week one these two teams played it was 25 to9 but you look at really if you look at how that game kind
Of went uh it was tight until about late in the third quarter low uh yardage for both teams both defenses played well uh you know Lamar was a little rusty early season rust and and so I think they’re going to be sharp and ready to roll I
Think I’m going to have to go with the Ravens in you think maybe a rookie quarterback would have been a little rusty week one first ever NFL game I think so uh this is where I am going to go upset um I like the way Houston’s
Playing right now I like CJ strad I mean this guy years mature Beyond his age uh the Ravens of their four losses three of them have come at home so do they get a little bit too comfortable there at MN Bank Stadium uh I here’s here’s my key
So Houston last week uh against the Browns and that pass rush they were able to keep stad upright I think he was like rushed like I think there was like four hurries in the game so they kept him upright they kept him clean and that’s against miles Garrett and zidus Smith
This week you know you got Javon Clowney you got Justin uh em and what is it Ma matab I think that’s how you said um yeah so man that is a good sign if your o line is kind of coming together your defense is opportunistic they had two
Pick sixes in that game um man let’s go Texans that’s going to be that’s B I like it St was sack five times the first time they met the first time okay that’s what I’m saying but like your Line’s playing really well right now against a
Really you know I think maybe the best okay Packers at 49ers this another uh similar spread we got ners coming in eight-point favorites at home it’s a Saturday night kickoff 8:00 pm I you make me pick first on these I’m not I’m not going to go upset I’m not going to
Do it I know you want me to pick the Packers but I’m I’m going to the 49ers are just too loaded and they’ve had an extra time to get make sure mcaffry is healthy to make sure Debo’s healthy to make sure is healthy and there’s just no
Way there I mean I love the way the Packers are playing we talked about that earlier in the in this episode about the wonderful things that Jordan love and those young receivers are doing wonderful things he does that’s it 49ers at home um okay I will say unless you
Want to update my betting odds here the the spread is nine is that what you have it’s minus eight there always eight I I don’t know I just look today I mean okay well maybe I maybe I have an old old list here but uh I think it’ll be closer
Than that but I think the ners will win see I think the Packers I think there are some questions on defense uh a little bit inconsistent there I mean they I think they gave up like 30 points to the Carolina Panthers okay and we saw how awful that offense
Is um I think the Packers just caught the Cowboys sleepwalking to be perfectly honest with you I think if you run that game back 10 more times I think the Cowboys probably win eight of them so you know I think they were fortunate in that game yes they bowled Jordan love
Played a great game I’m not trying to take anything away from him though I kind of maybe I am taking a little bit away to your point San Francisco is two loaded two loaded on both sides of the ball 49ers at home I I think they get it
Done okay all right I’ll take this next one because uh you obviously need some time to think about it bucks at Lions this is your Sunday 3 pm kickoff the Lions coming in six and a half Point favorites so the question is does the mtown Mojo does it does it continue
There’s a lot of it going on right now in fact you know you talk about last week’s game against the the Rams and they set like fordfield records for the the depl I think it was 133.6k and and how that could impact Baker and that bucks offense look the
Bucks are embracing the underdog role and I’ll you know hand hat off to them they have done a wonderful job this year I just think the Lions have too many weapons you know the the threats that they have in the past game the Le the St Browns the Jameson Williams is a deep
Threat uh and then jir Gibbs maybe their best it’s a Swiss army knife kind of out of the backfield receiver offensively they’re too good now if the Box can dial up some unique pressures that this uh Lions offensive line can’t handle and I think they have one of the better
Offensive lines in the league then we have seen in the past if Jared gof feels a lot of heat that he does not handle that very well so that would be the one thing I’d say bucks could maybe take advantage there but man the home crowd it’s going to be a
Tough one man I say the buck season comes to an end this weekend I got the Lions and you’ll be there to witness it I will be there’ll be there to witness it come I’m going to bring my earplugs please do please bring your earplugs to plug the sobbing of the Lions fans
Because their story book season is ending on Sunday yes I’m going to roll with this Bucks team why not why not this Bucks team they have I think I just gave you you did I I know you to you took my talking point about dialing up
The pressure against Jared GF so I’m not going to repeat that I’m just going to tell you when you have a good defense and you have a capable quarterback who can play Great Baker doesn’t always play great but he is capable of Great Moments as he showed last Monday night and you
Have veteran receivers and you have their the Buccaneers offensive line I really love how they’ve been playing recently uh and I do believe that defense is going andan Winfield Jr is just ever since he’s been snubbed for the Pro Bowl he said let me show you let
Me show you what you missed out on here here and I think the Bucks are going to get and also this is we never talk about special teams who’s better than Chase mcclaflin right now in the NFL he’s booted so many don’t try to name names
Aubrey missed I was going to say if if I had to give a nominee for maybe the best special teams player it might be the guy that he shares a locker room with in Jake Carta because I mean both those guys are thank you for supporting my
Point I the Buccaneers are going to keep this uh magical postseason run going and I do think there’s something to be said for the lions having this um you know and I understand the excitement of winning your first home playoff game in 32 years but sometimes I don’t know like
Do you lose your Edge when you think oh we’ve done this you know we don’t we don’t kind we don’t have that edge anymore that we had before before that game so you think Dan Campbell has bit his last kneecap that’s what I’m saying comes to an end yeah bucks are going to
Win all right okay we got Chiefs at bills this is your Sunday night cap the last of the divisional round games uh this 6:30 kickoff if I hadn’t already said that the buffalo bills they are three-point favorites uh there is snow that ex you got the lake effect snow and
They’re saying you know all week it’s going to start building and growing could be as much as four feet of snow but when game time hits on Sunday uh there is not expected to be any snow they’ll just have the people have to sit on top of it all right so Chiefs defense
Obviously they they played great last week Ian rasid rice they finding maybe a little receiver there the rookie stepping up um but here’s what I I go back to the history between these two teams and this is the storyline that everybody’s going to be talking about
Going in is you know for as good as the bills have been against Kansas City maybe during the regular season in the postseason it has been the exact opposite and they Josh Allen has yet to top uh Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs and you look back to 2020 the AFC
Conference you the the championship game there they lost uh in 2021 the following year they lost in the divisional round to the Chiefs this is the season I I think that they turn the corner they they exercise those proverbial demons and I think the Buffalo Bills at home
Get a little bit of payback and uh and it brings an end to the uh at least the the Run of dominance to this point that the Chiefs have had bills moved on okay you got the bills uh Patrick Mahomes first road playoff game ever could that
Actually be true I believe it is is it really his first road playoff game uh obviously Super Bowl is a neutral site yeah um so I’m going to pick the bills too I I just think that the remember earlier we were talking about are these trends or this I I don’t believe there’s
A such thing as flipping a switch when you get to the playoffs I just think you kind of are it’s baked into you you are who you are the Eagles were nose diving and they continued to nose dive the Dolphins were flailing on offense and all continued to flail on offense as
They headed up to Kansas City and I think the Chiefs uh that set up really well for them getting Miami at this time of year when the Dolphins defense was decimated uh and getting them at home at Arrowhead and I think the bills are rolling right now I think you just saw
Josh Allen against the Steelers say uh no you’re not this is our time we’re going to get this done I really like the way their defense is playing and I think the problem that’s going to come back to haunt the Chiefs is going to be the pass
Catchers even though we saw Rice have a nice game against the Dolphins I think that’s been the theme this year that’s come back to catch them in big moments is uh some of these guys just aren’t you know getting open some of them aren’t catching the ball we saw you know um
Kelsey have some big drops against the offens I think the bills are going to win at home can you imagine if the Bucks come back and and the Packers upset the 49ers and the Bucks are hosting the Packers in the NFC championship game at a team that was four- seven at one point
This season I mean the way you kind of Drew it up that’s well you had the you had the ners though I had the ners let’s also keep in mind I was three and three last week so well I think I think any astute listener to our show is usually
Picking opposite us yeah so you know best of luck your son Carson he beat me he was he was four- two last week you’re right he knows it knows his stuff me as well all right coming up on the other side we’re going to bring B BK back in
And uh what was the game that we got dialed up here uh we got it something about new words or words yes we get to we get to open up the uh the old dictionaries and and dust it off and see if maybe we can find some words that we
Can Implement in our new show yes don’t be allow to join us again next welcome back to the no off days podcast let’s bring BK back in our final segment here we’re going to have a little fun with the uh with the dictionary I know
That Chris at his desk you have what um four different editions of thesaurus yes you you’re a man of of words you like dealing in in words Oxford Miriam Webster I have uh four volumes of the um do you have the Urban Dictionary I
Do uh yes I do no I do not okay I do like the words though but I I I don’t know about some of these Brian is going to throw at us can I just share real quick you know and maybe one of these words is going to be in there but I
Always my grandma would always call things you know by words that I had no idea what they were obviously I’m not good with words um but she would call a couch of Davenport have you ever heard of that I’ve heard of that okay yeah she called um I mean I heard this obviously
But like a wallet was a billfold not a wallet um a a fart a a fart was a uh a hoim oh I’ve not heard that one a hoim yeah a hoim yeah aim yeah don’t hoim on the Davenport Scott did you just Scott
Did you just ho him if you ho him on my Davenport through the plastic don’t the plastic yeah you got to have the plastic on the DAV Port those are good ones all right I I I’m going to assume none of those are in there uh those did not make
This list of words they want to bring back fire away it’s a university up in Detroit of all places Scott maybe you can run by there uh Wayne State group of people they there on campus called word Warriors come up with a list of words and say we’re not using them enough our
Language would be much better if or more good more get more gooder if you put these words into your vocabulary so I’m going to run off a few of these words and then you tell me what their definition is okay okay you ready yes all right first word is blather skite
Blather skite is it bla sky or BL skit it looks like SK that’s a long eye see the see the long eye BL skite it seems like their phonetic um interpretation makes it more confusing than just reading the actual word okay uh so what is a blather skite um I’m going to say
Uh it’s it’s probably um somebody that is uh it’s too talkative somebody that is just spewing nonsense much like what we do here every week on the no off podcast that sounds perfect I I believe the word blather is a real word and that it means to talk not kind of just
Pointlessly right what we’re doing here so I think a bla skite would be one who maybe makes a living doing that okay man y’all are good let’s see it a person who talks at Great length without making much sense there you go welcome to the the BL Sky no off days podcast that
