Jeff Samardzija

Samarja.

The Shark Tank.

Andrew Miller, I think, was barred that year.

They

I mean, what else would it be? [laughs]

Jeff Samardzija.

Oh, come on.

Jeff Samardzija's an A-lister for me.

Well, that's not D-list.

Yeah, that's not D-list.

Yeah

... you know, like I, like the first thing I think of, I don't know how long his hair is, but Jeff Samardzija, you know, kind of-

Yeah [laughs]

... comes to mind when I, when I, you know-

Jeff was probably a little bit shiftier.

But yeah, I dig, I dig...

He doesn't have Jeff Samardzija's hair.

He's, he's a short haired guy.

...

I, like the first thing I think of, I don't know how long his hair is, but Jeff Samardzija, you know, kind of comes to mind when I, when I, you know, see those specifics.

He's a, a little faster than Jeff-

Okay

Jeff was probably a little bit shiftier.

But yeah, I dig, I dig...

He doesn't have Jeff Samardzija's hair.

He's, he's a short hair dude.

You don't even know who your players are or who they're gonna be going forward.

I remember the glory days, even when I was at Michigan State, come home and Notre Dame would be on, it'd be Brady Quinn and Jeff Samardzija, or you watch USC and-

[laughs]

... and it was the trio of Leinart and LenDale White and Reggie Bush, and I feel like that, that type of feeling is gone because guys go from team to team so often.

... spin-off of the solid verbal fantasy things, um, where it's just like something that the announcers are contractually obligated to say or it feels that way.

Jordan Faison playing lacrosse, Tom Zbikowski boxing, Jeff Samardzija baseball, Joe Schmidt former walk-on.

Um, C.J. Carr's grandfather is Lloyd Carr.

Um-

Travis Wood wasn't a vet at the time, but he was older than me.

Starter and Jeff Samardzija pull me aside.

It's like we're getting blown out by the Nationals.

We're losing nine-nothing, and I'm struggling.

Uh, and then I do remember, I think in 20- uh, 2006 they played North Carolina in South Bend, and John Bunting decided...

He refused to double team Jeff Samardzija, which didn't go well, and then somebody asked him post-game, they're like, "You know, why didn't you think about doing that?" And he's like, "We don't, we don't double team people in the second..." I'm like, "Okay, okay.

Good luck, guys." Um, didn't, I don't think it lasted much longer for John Bunting in Chapel Hill.

Didn't Hakeem Nicks have a crazy catch against Notre Dame back in the day?
