To DraftKings Network. So Jim Harbaugh, after a hard fought year of coaching four games has earned another potential extension from Michigan. According to Richard Johnson, they are working on a contract extension worth $11 million per year for five years. But the only issue is they need Jim Harbaugh to commit in writing that he will not pursue an NFL job this cycle, which no way, no shot. He loves it too much. And the funniest part is it's this cycle. So they could give him $11 million for the next five years. And then just next season, he'll be like, Hey, that Bear's job is still open? Is that still a possibility?

[00:00:52]

I love that. Remember last year when they released three separate statements about his commitment to Michigan after he interviewed for the Vikings and or whatever other job he interviewed for?

[00:01:00]

He kept embarrassing them publicly.

[00:01:02]

That was amazing, and he hasn't stopped since.

[00:01:05]

We caught Stephen Ross before he was tampering with Tom braided. He was tampering with Jim Horribaw. He wants to get the heck out of Dodge there. I'm curious as to how, did we just grow tired of an unprecedented potential cheating scandal with Connor Stalians? Because that narrative died down. Or are we just chasing the other car, which is now FSU and whatever's going on with them? Because they're in the college football playoff. They folded by firing that linebackers coach, by agreeing to the suspension, by dropping all public opposition to all of this. They admitted something was up there, and that became less fun for us to cover.

[00:01:45]

Well, I think once he agreed to just take the three-game suspension, everyone was like, Okay, well, they admitted they were probably in the wrong here, so we'll just move forward. But I haven't forgotten. I wake up every morning and I think about Connor Stallions, and I go to sleep every night reading the reviews on his Amazon vacuum page.

[00:02:06]

I haven't forgotten yet. Have they tracked him down? Where is he?

[00:02:10]

He's got to be like Steve Bartman right now. He's in hiding, right?

[00:02:13]

The thing is that everything I know about him, and I feel like I know him pretty well at this point, there's no way that he would just be like, No, I'm done. Sure, you told me about it. There's no way. He wrote a 600 page manifesto.

[00:02:23]

He's planning this next move. He's just meeting with executives to figure out the next movie op or documentary. He's doing that covertly right.

[00:02:31]

Now for sure. He's got a lawyer, right? When they fired him, slash, he resigned, his comments came through a lawyer. I don't know what that means other than.

[00:02:42]

Maybe- It's a bit of a red flag.

[00:02:43]

-something is.

[00:02:44]

Going on legally. It means.

[00:02:45]

It's a red flag. Yeah, I don't know if they're giving him a settlement for him. I don't know.

[00:02:49]

We're talking about football here. What could possibly force you to lawyer up other than, I should probably lawyer up. It's like in the movie when the suspect says, I think I'll talk to my lawyer before continuing. It took you so long? I'm ready for my phone call. All of this is there have been subtle admissions of guilt by folding, like I said. So if there have been admissions of guilt that this, at least in the public eye, I'm sure teams have done things that will shock you that we just don't know about. But in the public eye, we haven't had a scandal play out like this. It was a great, hot story, and it kept evolving. It's almost like since it's out of the news stream now, we don't get what was the most fun part about the Conner, Sally and Saga, which is something new happened every day. It was amazing. Something more outlandish happened.

[00:03:40]

The NCAA is still investigating, right? It's only the big 10 that was like, This is what we're going to do. Then they were like, Fine. We now see that you probably have a little bit more evidence than we thought you did. Let's just agree to terms here for the season so we can put it in the rear view mirror because we think we might win the national championship. The NCAA investigations always take like five years. Then when something finally happens, everyone's like, Oh, yeah, remember that Connor Stallions guy?

[00:04:04]

Yeah, and then it doesn't feel nearly punitive enough.

[00:04:08]

For the record, not rooting for the NCAA. No. Don't like them either.

[00:04:12]

No.

[00:04:13]

It feels like the last time that we had a controversy in any football like this was either the Flake Gate or one of the many New England Patriot sagas. It's just interesting. I'm Tom braided, Patriot.

[00:04:26]

Michigan Wolverine. This is the postgame after all. I don't think we use the postgame enough to talk about the show. I personally did enjoy Dan's look. I think it's a nice evolution for him.

[00:04:38]

Oh, I totally agree.

[00:04:39]

I think he looks great. I think we were probably too hard on Dan because that might dissuade him from dressing like an adult, an age-appropriate adult more often. Maybe we played our hand all wrong.

[00:04:52]

Should we say sorry? Should we find a way to- Yeah, is he out there? -in this show? Get him in here? You want.

[00:04:56]

Me to go get him? Yeah, go get him. Go get him because I want to wear stuff like that more often. He looks good.

[00:05:01]

Absolutely. Is this like him showing off for Max?

[00:05:05]

I think he genuinely was cold and he needed to.

[00:05:09]

Wear sleeves. But he is wearing those pants that you can zip the legs off and have shorts. So he's ready for the sun to.

[00:05:14]

Come out. Dom is on one o'clock. Dan, we want to tell you something. Despite all the jokes today, we like how you're dressed.

[00:05:20]

We love it.

[00:05:21]

You actually look great. Do you want to do a fit check?

[00:05:23]

You look really good.

[00:05:23]

We don't want you to take what we did on air today as you didn't look good. It's really Nina's fault. We want you to go home today and say more of this.

[00:05:30]

I will never dress.

[00:05:32]

This way.

[00:05:33]

No, please. You really look so good, honestly.

[00:05:35]

I had an Italian-tailored green jacket that Sarah, Spain, and Nina saw, and they roasted me for nine straight minutes in my closet because they kept saying I looked like I was a Masters champion.

[00:05:46]

Nina went too hard. This is Nina's fault. Yeah, this.

[00:05:48]

Is Nina's fault.

[00:05:49]

No, you.

[00:05:49]

Look great. No, she took it too far. No, please. But, Dan.

[00:05:52]

You look so good. No.

[00:05:53]

He looks like.

[00:05:56]

An idiot. The pants are just... Looks ridiculous. The pants are stupid. Those pants.

[00:06:02]

Like- Lehman wears those to go fishing.

[00:06:04]

He can unzip those pants to make them shorts.

[00:06:07]

He's a loser. There's like, cargo pockets for putting your little lures in. Like David Samson. Yes, his is for his room key, I believe.

[00:06:15]

Those are dumb pants. Dumb. Do they really zip? Yeah, no, they really zip.

[00:06:20]

They really zip. Terrific.
