You're listening to The Drew Lane Show.

SPEAKER_2 (0:02)

Welcome to the only show that's all about learning, music, animals, ninjas, getting stronger, sharks versus bears, and above all, karate.

Drew Lane (0:12)

Hey, what's poppin? We're rolling in the deals in the d.com studios on Monday with Mark and Brandon and Roberto. And we had a great Lions win yesterday, and there was a wild game, the Ravens and Cowboys game.

I couldn't believe how that ended. The Cowboys needed a touchdown with 20 seconds left. They had three downs from the three-yard line, and they couldn't get in there.

Brandon McAfee (0:36)

From the one, remember, they got that pass interference. Holy shit.

Drew Lane (0:41)

They completely blew that. And then, so there's seven seconds left. Yes. And they kick off. And why did Baltimore get to the 35? Because he did kick it out of the end zone. Touchback.

Brandon McAfee (0:52)

Yeah. That's part of the new rule. So they got to start on the 35

Drew Lane (0:55)

So you want to kick it in play then. You have to kick it in play.

Brandon McAfee (0:58)

Yeah, because they've so messed with the kickoff that then they realized, oh, everyone's just touchbacking it. So let's add some incentive to return the kick with this new safety feature.

Drew Lane (1:09)

They really blew that. That was a huge seven seconds, and they got a field goal.

Brandon McAfee (1:13)

Not only that, but the head coach, what's his name? Is it Sean? Who's the head coach of Dallas? Now, I can't even remember, but he was taking blame for, remember, because we and I were watching it. You and I were watching it before I went home. Shot and hung. And yeah, it was shot and hung. Okay, when it was members, third and five, and Dak just launched the ball.

SPEAKER_8 (1:27)

Ten yards over the guy's head.

Brandon McAfee (1:28)

He admitted that that was the wrong play call. I'm like, you think?

Drew Lane (1:31)

He also, you know, they ran that same play like ten yards further back.

SPEAKER_10 (1:34)

Yeah.

Drew Lane (1:35)

Unbelievable.

SPEAKER_10 (1:36)

Wow.

Brandon McAfee (1:37)

And then, you know, the kicker who choked last year basically got John Harbaugh fired from Baltimore.

Drew Lane (1:43)

That's right.

Brandon McAfee (1:43)

Because he missed the kick at the end of the year. That would have won them the division. Instead, he missed in there out of the playoffs, got his redemption yesterday.

Drew Lane (1:50)

Man.

Marc Fellhauer (1:50)

Well, good for him. I know.

Brandon McAfee (1:52)

That was a hell of a game, though, watching it, man.

Drew Lane (1:54)

There was a big NFL news today, too. JJ. McCarthy goes to the Giants.

Brandon McAfee (2:00)

Yeah, to John Harbaugh, who's there now.

Drew Lane (2:03)

Could he possibly win that job?

Brandon McAfee (2:05)

No.

Roberto (2:05)

No way.

Brandon McAfee (2:07)

What?

Roberto (2:07)

Over Jameis Winston?

Brandon McAfee (2:08)

I mean, he could.

Drew Lane (2:09)

I mean, Jameis Winston is not the future. Jameis Winston is not a long-term plan. I mean, I have to believe they picked up JJ because they see something in him.

Brandon McAfee (2:16)

Well, yeah, they'll have him next year for what, four and a quarter?

Drew Lane (2:19)

I can't get a fifth-throne draft pick for JJ. McCarthy.

Brandon McAfee (2:23)

Yeah, well, he's kind of a bust.

Drew Lane (2:25)

But he's barely played.

Brandon McAfee (2:28)

I mean, he was a starter last year.

Drew Lane (2:30)

Just, but he missed a bunch of games. I don't know. It seems like a small price to pay and probably worth the risk. We'll see.

And the new football poll is out. Texas, Georgia, Notre Dame, Miami, Indiana, Ohio State. Ohio State, is that low at six? Does that seem low for them?

Brandon McAfee (2:50)

Well, they were, I mean, they moved up one then, right? Because they were seven.

Drew Lane (2:54)

Alabama.

Brandon McAfee (2:54)

They have a loss.

Drew Lane (2:55)

Florida moved up to eight with their big win. BYU, Texas Tech. Damn, he's sick of this. LSU, Ole Miss, Utah. Iowa moved up to 14

Brandon McAfee (3:05)

Are you looking at the AP or the coaches? Because Ole Miss is ninth in the AP, I thought.

Drew Lane (3:10)

I just copied it down. Oregon, Mississippi State, Tennessee, C-17, USC, SMU, Houston, Duke, Penn State, UCLA, Michigan, Mizzou.

Brandon McAfee (3:21)

Yeah, because Michigan's not in the top 25

Drew Lane (3:24)

Okay.

Brandon McAfee (3:24)

They're below Virginia Tech, actually. They're like 32nd.

Drew Lane (3:27)

I was going to say, Virginia Tech is 30th in this poll.
