00:00Okay, can I just get into it really quick, and then we'll get into pro sports after.
00:03Let's do it, baby.
00:04This weekend, I said it.
00:06I said Miami, this is their game to lose.
00:08Why?
00:09They lost their best player in Malak Haytoni.
00:12First Red Bull signee.
00:13He's amazing.
00:14They lost basically 80% of their offense.
00:16But because they were undefeated, and they have an easy schedule going forward,
00:19I felt that they could lose this game, still make the playoffs.
00:22Notre Dame, they had to win this game, but they're not going to be out.
00:24They had to win it, yeah.
00:25So the big controversial caught at the end of the game was
00:27Darian Mensah, the quarterback for Miami, throws a perfect pass
00:30to this amazing tight end, Elijah Lofton.
00:34Elijah catches the ball.
00:36We're doing a mirror.
00:37It was on the other side of the field.
00:38He catches the ball.
00:39He gets both feet inbounds, and as he's stepping out of bounds,
00:43it seems like the play's over.
00:44At that point, the defender finally knocks the ball out
00:46when he's already stepping out of bounds,
00:48and it's already been established as a catch.
00:51They decided that it wasn't a catch.
00:52The game is over.
00:52Like, the play is over, right?
00:54The play should be over as soon as he steps out of bounds,
00:56but as he's stepping out of bounds, at the same time,
00:58the guy throws the ball out.
01:00So what they're saying now, both in college and in the NFL,
01:02is that you have to maintain control through your fall.
01:06Okay.
01:07But for me, it was the guy had both hands on the ball,
01:10and he gets both feet inbounds, and it was a very firm catch,
01:13and so it was a split second between what you would consider
01:15getting the ball out within reason
01:18or whether you knocked the ball out after the play was over.
01:21Well, we were talking about it not too long ago,
01:23the peanut punch, right?
01:25Like, the defensive players are now so much more aggressive
01:27on going after the ball, trying to force a fumble,
01:30even at the very last millisecond of the play.
01:33Some would say after, the millisecond after the play is over,
01:35but look, the way that I see it is,
01:37I think that the University of Miami and Notre Dame rivalry
01:40is great for college sports.
01:41It goes back to when they were called
01:42the Catholics versus the convicts.
01:44Now they're calling it the Catholics versus the committee.
01:47In other words, the committee backs Miami no matter what,
01:49the committee that picks the team.
01:51But look, I thought it was a great game.
01:52Miami came back.
01:53They almost tied the game,
01:54so they showed that they can play without Malachi Tony.
01:56They have a good team.
01:57When the playoffs come around,
01:58we're going to have Malachi back,
01:59so I feel good, and you know, like I said,
02:01it was a game that we could afford to lose.
02:03And extended playoffs.
02:05Well, that's another thing.
02:07Let's get, so we're going to get into this later in the week,
02:09but let's go ahead and make the announcement.
02:11The college football playoffs next year
02:13is going to be 24 teams.
02:14That might be too many for me.
02:16Too many.
02:16I mean, it's like, exactly.
02:18That's what it is.
02:19Play of game time, baby.
