Rivals

The anniversary of the miracle on ice just happened. Scott says this is the greatest sporting event of all time. Jason has a snarky response. They agree on one thing, we all love an under dog. 

The NFL keeps changing.  This upcoming offseason will be filled with quarterbacks looking for new homes.  The Kansas City Chiefs Alex Smith to the Washington Redskins for a third round pick and cornerback Kendall Fuller.  Jason didn’t expect the Redskins to move on from Kirk Cousins but thinks that the Chiefs got a good deal since they picked up Kendall Fuller and now turn to second year quarterback Patrick Mahomes.  Scott thought that Alex Smith could go play for the Denver Broncos or the Arizona Cardinals.  But thinks that Andy Reid looks at the situation and thinks that if he keeps Alex Smith that they need to win a Super Bowl.  This now gives him a chance to play the younger quarterback and in kind of a rebuild.  If anyone can develop a young quarterback, it’s Andy Reid. 

A question that surrounds the NFL Draft. Should players who declare for the NFL Draft before their senior year of college football be able to go back to college football if they are not drafted? Scott Mitchell wishes he had had this opportunity even though he did get drafted. Jason Buck and Scott Mitchell talk about how they think coaches would approach this.

Everyone loves James Bond and everyone has their favorite.  That's certainly the case with Rivals hosts Scott Mitchell and Jason Buck.

Scott's favorite was Roger Moore.  That was the Bond of his childhood.  Jason picks Sean Connery because he likes the brawler Bonds like Connery and Daniel Craig.

Is it possible Roger Moore was a quarterback Bond?

Pass interference is now reviewable after last year's NFC Championship no call between the Saints and the Rams. Scott thinks this innovation will change the NFL. Scott and Jason talk about the innovations they were apart of during their time in the NFL.

Sports Illustrated released their list of the top 100 college football players. Bradlee Anae, Jaylon Johnson, Leki Fotu are a few of the Utes who made the list. You will also find an Aggie linebacker on the list. Jason Buck blames independence as to why no BYU Cougars are on the list.

Warren Fisher of The Warren Report on the Golf Channel Joined Scott and Jason to talk about his favorite football team and whether or not he is a Cougar or a Ute. Warren turns the tables on Scott and Jason and asks them some questions about their football careers.

Historically Stanford has recruited a lot of LDS football players, especially return missionaries. At Pac-12 Media Day coach David Shaw talked to Scott about why he likes having return missionaries on his team. Jason and Scott discuss whether or not this hurts BYU on the recruiting front. Jason talks about the growth he has seen in the recruiting of LDS players compared to when he played.

The Pac-12 seems to be having a bit of turmoil. They just seem to be a little behind the rest of the Power 5 conferences. There have been rumblings of Oregon and USC talking about leaving the conference. Scott said it would be really bad for Utah if USC left the conference. There has to be a gold standard, and traditionally that has been USC. The major message from these rumblings is that the Pac-12 Conference needs to figure it out and up their game.
