0:00.0	We're doing something different. We got some baseball playoff talk and we're
0:14.0	previewing the hockey this year. We've got Malara on baseball butcher grass on
0:19.1	hockey. I'm going to talk a little bit about this Heisman thing that I wanted to get to with
0:23.2	Travis Hunter, also the NBA GM survey, and the life advice on our Thursday pick.
0:29.9	A couple things in the open that I want to get to. I've been kind of teasing this Heisman thing and then I also want to talk about the MBA GM survey.
0:36.0	We'll bring in Surruddy for some of that. Some stuff that I like, some stuff that you're like, hey, how did that happen? But that's what happens when we take polls,
0:43.3	a bunch of different people.
0:44.1	But also what happens with the Heisman.
0:45.7	If you look at Heisman voting this year,
0:49.1	there's a lot of stuff that I want to get to historically here.
0:50.9	So like, look, after this weekend,
0:52.3	we're going to be at the halfway point of the season okay and I talked a bit about it with McShay and my Travis Hunter push at least based on what we have right now and also touching up with liner a little bit who won it back in 2004 but it's
1:05.5	really been it's become and has been I'd say since 2000 the default quarterback
1:10.0	award so if you go back since 2000 it's 20 quarterbacks and won the Heisman three running
1:14.5	backs and one wide receiver to Monte Smith. So we're talking three positions and
1:18.6	like the history tells us I mean look it wasn't like this was new and
1:22.4	whenever you start thinking
1:24.4	about like MVP the NFL it's just hard to make a case for anyone being more
1:28.3	valuable than the top quarterback. You've got to do something really really special to
1:32.4	win that award and the way running backs have kind of been phased out as a priority in the NFL.
1:37.5	You know, like at least it's still open for them for the Heisman and college.
1:41.5	So looking at some of the historical stuff, you know, I know that I felt like it's always been the best kind of like who's the best quarterback on the best team. That's not always the case, which I think is good. If you go back to R.G. 3's year at Baylor, they were 10 and 3.
