| 0:05.5 | Welcome to Menace to Sports on Rumble. |
| 0:08.9 | If you're on Twitter, that's okay. |
| 0:10.2 | We like that too, but we'd appreciate you. |
| 0:11.8 | Go ahead and over to Rumble and hitting that follow button and supporting us there as we build out our new channel. |
| 0:17.9 | The great news is we're already doing better numbers than YouTube. |
| 0:20.7 | Oh, shit. What happened? Can you hear me? Yeah, yeah, you're good. |
| 0:26.0 | All the monitors went off in here. I don't know why. But as long as I'm here, that's all I care |
| 0:29.6 | about. Yep. Nope. I hear you. You're all set to jet. All right, good. Can you see me? Yes, I can. |
| 0:35.0 | All right, good. My bad. Technical difficulties, apparently, I don't know what happened. |
| 0:38.5 | Well, Zach's in studio alone because it snowed a bunch here. |
| 0:41.5 | It snowed there. And so he gave us a remote day. And then we all get online to, like, do the show. And all of a sudden, Zach's not remote. Dude, I had to. I had to get out of the house, send the kids to do something with Justine because the house is getting crazy. |
| 0:54.0 | And I have a new truck with four-wheel drive, so I had no problem getting here. But the roads were bad for Poundown, for sure. That's why I was like, no, we're good. We don't need to come in. And especially you coming from Akron, that wasn't happening. But we got a ton to discuss. And after breaking down the offensive film on bourbon and ball last night, which was outstanding, by the way. I highly encourage you go check it out. It's a money-back guarantee, and it was great having it. We had like 200 people live in there commenting, asking questions, or just enjoying it, sipping on a little bourbon. We're going to do it again tonight. The defensive side of the ball, talk about to take a look at Bryce Underwood and what Matt Patricia did to that run game. And it's going to be a blast. And the real conversation we want to have today, we touched on it yesterday. But if you're Bryce Underwood, what, what is in your best interest? You know what I mean? Yeah. No, I mean, that's a super valid question. And honestly, like, maybe some Michigan fans are not ready to have this, but I'm ready to have it because like the best interest, never mind. I don't want to spoil it. |
| 1:50.8 | No, but I mean, it's just the age old question, right? Are you going to get developed at Michigan? |
| 1:55.0 | You're making a bag, $12 million for whatever, three or four years. |
| 1:57.7 | So you're looking at $3 to $4 million a year. |
| 1:59.9 | You're not going to get that if you hit the portal, but might it be worth it to go somewhere with a better track record to develop you to get drafted higher and make more millions on the back end, assuming he can do that, assuming he can get developed? And it's one of those. Do you want to invest in yourself, take less money now to get more money later? Or do you want to just ride it out at Michigan and see what they can make you? Right? And collect those checks because they're big |
| 2:17.9 | checks, big checks. Big old checks. But it's crazy, Chris is obviously Thanksgiving break. My kids were |
| 2:21.9 | off from Wednesday to Sunday. Then they got Monday off randomly at school and then a snow day today. |
| 2:28.4 | So they've had a week off for Thanksgiving leading into like Christmas break, |
| 2:33.0 | which is in two weeks. |
| 2:36.4 | Just wild. |
