00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: know I love this, Thank you. I feel like we're

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: walking out on a big stage right now. Everybody's cheering.

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 2: Show walk up song right now? It's probably st higher love.

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, kaigo, that's my pump up song, like driving

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: into work like always. So it feels like that's like

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: right on par with what would be my walk up song?

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 3: Yeah? You, what's yours? I don't know. I always struggle

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: with that.

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 4: It's probably like something like I'm on One by Bellow

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 4: Inn and like a bunch of guys.

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 5: Look the top five. What will be your top walk

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 5: up song?

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be one of them, I'm sure.

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 4: But then like like it ranges the gamut because then

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 4: another one would be like running Down a Dream by

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 4: Tom Petty, Like okay, that guitar rif from the beginning.

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: Also like a little like hard rock, little punk, like

21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: something that gets your head banging. Okay, now you just

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,840

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: is one of the most magical months in sports. We've

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: got MOB postseason in full force. I think Cleveland just yeah,

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: just beat Detroit, absolutely destroyed them seven to nothing. But

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 2: it's here, like October is here. This is what it's

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: all about. We got NFL college football in their groove,

29

Speaker 3: little bit. I told him he had to be mostly sober.

57
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,000

Speaker 2: really break down this entire MLB post season, and so

00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: I can talk a little trash to him about his astros,

66
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: because I've been doing that all year and I can't wait.

70
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,640

71
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: so excited. I am so excited, But let's start with

72
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: some baseball. You guys happy postseason. We have the alds

73
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: and nlds all playing today, so many fun storylines. As

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: I said off the top of the show, but this

75
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: is also the first time we have basically all of

76
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: the superstars playing in the postseason. Sho Heo Tani making

77
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: his playoff debut, Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Moogie Beats, Bobby

78
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: witchun Your, Lonzo Lindor, Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Junior.

79
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 5: I mean, the list goes on, but like.

80
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: It finally feels like everyone that was having that kind

81
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: of a season is actually going to be playing in

82
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: October Obviously, that big one is Otani making his debut,

83
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: and this is what it's all about, Like, this is

84
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: what it's all about. But let's start with Detroit. Obviously,

85
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, Cleveland just crushed the Tigers in Game one,

86
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 2: seven to zero, first time that they have ever faced

87
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: off in the postseason.

88
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 5: But I need a moment for the sweep that they

89
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 5: made earlier.

90
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: This week, because you guys, the Tigers knocked out the

91
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: Astros in the Wildcard Series, ending the Astros seven consecutive

92
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: ALCS appearances, with the Astros former manager Aj Hinch leading

93
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: the Tigers to victory. So that was the ultimate gut

94
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: punch for the Astros. Also because they have about like

95
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: six big name unrestricted free agents now after the season,

96
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: so it is not going to be the same team

97
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: that hey, they had this year. But this Tigers team also,

98
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: like we were talking about how they're in a rebuild

99
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: at the start of this season, and then they even

100
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: shipped off all of their veterans at the trade deadline,

101
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: like and then they lost Hobby Bias to injury like that,

102
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: The way that this Detroit team was set up for

103
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: this season, I don't think, I mean, except if you're

104
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: a Tigers fan. Most people didn't have them making it

105
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: to the postseason, but they somehow turned it around, going

106
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: the AL best thirty four to nineteen after the trade

107
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: deadline since July thirty is some snuck in as that.

108
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 4: Addition sixty no will. They just were placing the faith

109
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 4: in their farm system. They were placing their faith in

110
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 4: their young players, they placed their faith in, you know,

111
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 4: their new manage, all of this kind of Yes, I

112
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 4: am particularly happy for the Detroit Tigers because I'm a

113
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: White Sox fan. Okay, we let a very beloved part

114
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 4: of that organization in Jason Bennetti go, which was really like,

115
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: I think that was the thing that stung the most, honestly, Like, yes,

116
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 4: the White Sox had a historically bad season, but before

117
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 4: it even started, Yeah, they allowed Jason Bonnetti to go

118
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 4: and then become the voice of the Tigers, and instead

119
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: of anybody turning against them, they're in the same division now.

120
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 3: Like all this other.

121
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 4: Stuff, it's just like, we're so happy that Jason's happy. Yeah,

122
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 4: we just want Jason to call some fun games, yeah,

123
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 4: and he was able to do that. So we're all

124
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 4: very happy in Chicago for Jason Bennetti getting to be

125
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 4: part of this Detroit.

126
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: Tigers, right, yeah, I mean this is like good for them,

127
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: like that Tiger's slowly getting back to I guess where

128
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: they were maybe a decade ago. But let's move yeah,

129
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: a while ago, but let's move to the next matchup

130
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: that is getting underway pretty soon.

131
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 5: Here they're in warmups, Mets and Phillies.

132
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: Now this is the first time they have ever met

133
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: in the postseason as well, and the Mets journey to

134
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: get here, you guys, one of the most like historic

135
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: Mets thing out right, especially like for Mets fans who

136
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: are familiar with the Mets just meting like they always find.

137
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: A way to blow it.

138
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 5: You had it and he blew it like that.

139
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: That is what the Mets do. But all that changed

140
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: when Pete Alonzo became the ninth inning hero for the Mets.

141
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 6: Bryan Wondo, Alonzo william Sets. Here's the pitch swing on

142
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 6: a fly ball to right field. Pretty well, hits freelick

143
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 6: back at the wall, he.

144
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: Jumps, He's done, hate hate DNA peyt Alonzo.

145
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 6: With the most favorable home run of his career. Pop's

146
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 6: as fast as a round second. That's a three run

147
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 6: to Homer, He's given the Mets.

148
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 5: A three to two lad Like, I got chills listening

149
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 5: to that.

150
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: That is poetic, That is magical, that is beautiful, Like

151
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: this is what makes sports so amazing. It's like having

152
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: emotional moments like that, and I I was just so

153
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: happy for the Mets.

154
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 4: I just think it was so funny that the way

155
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: the Mets got into the postseason was like the hardest

156
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 4: possible thing that they could have possibly had to do.

157
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: They're in the midst of.

158
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 4: Playing eight games in seven days. Just an absolute Mets

159
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: in man. Yes, it's just a play.

160
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: The Mets freed the doubleheader that they played Ponzo so

161
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: the day off with the Braves to make it in right,

162
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: which was not their fault.

163
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: No, it was because of a hurricane. Major League Baseball

164
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: I think, my opinion, could have handled it much better.

165
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 4: There were other options rather than having these guys between

166
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: the Mets and the Braves now both having to play

167
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 4: this many games in this amount of time to start

168
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 4: the postseason, and you think it's hopeless. They're scoreless going

169
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 4: into the and then yeah, boom, three to two. It

170
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: changes in an instant. The Mets move on. It's it's

171
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 4: it's incredible.

172
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: It's also crazy how they got here because last year

173
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: the Mets sold off most of their top guys at

174
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: the trade deadline, and owner Steve Cohen's said that they

175
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: were in a quote rebuild. Well, well, well that all

176
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: changed on June twelfth, And you know what happened on

177
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 2: June twelfth. That was the day that Grimace throughout the

178
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: first pitch at the Mets game. The Mets were twenty

179
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 2: nine and thirty seven going into that game had only

180
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: won eight of their previous twenty games. After Grimace threwout

181
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: that first pitch, they went on a seven game winning

182
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: streak and they officially gave him a purple Grimace seat

183
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: on September sixteenth at City Field, and for some reason,

184
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,479
Speaker 2: he became the unofficial mascot of the Mets that they should.

185
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 4: Be all like every postseason game that is held at

186
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 4: the Mets Stadium city Field. Not only that, you should

187
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: be giving the crowd like or doesn't Grimace have his

188
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 4: own shake? He's got like like yeah, McDonald.

189
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, I like purple shade, Okay. I was like,

190
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, it's real, okay, is it really okay?

191
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 4: Okay, so like everybody in the stadium should be getting

192
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 4: free shakes, something something like keep the good Grimace, jus

193
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: you're going.

194
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 5: It's just we all knew the Phillies were going to

195
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 5: get here, right.

196
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: They've been so close the last two seasons and twenty

197
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 2: twenty two, uh, they made the World Series loss of

198
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: the Astros. Twenty twenty three made it to the NLCS

199
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: loss of the d Backs in Game seven. The Phillies

200
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 2: have been a World Series favorite. But this, like this

201
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 2: is going to be absolute mayhem. Game just started top

202
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: of the first Like, this is just two really intense,

203
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: beautiful fan bases. And they also have Zach Wheeler on

204
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 2: the mountain for the Phillies, who's a former Met has

205
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: been one of the hottest pitchers in baseball the last month.

206
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: This is this is going to be an epic.

207
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 4: The question is, sary did bet Alonzo with that three

208
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: run homer just solidified like staying then in New York

209
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 4: because he's gonna be a free agent after this season.

210
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: Is that it all depends on what the Mets future

211
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: is are are Met's gonna go out and build around him?

212
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: But they also like no one thought they were going

213
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 2: to get to the postseason this year. They were supposed

214
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: to be a quote rebuild year. They had everybody last

215
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: year sold off Shures or sold off for Lander, like

216
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: they chose to like, we're gonna we're gonna get a

217
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: lot of does this.

218
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 4: Now like do the Oh no, we're more ahead of

219
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 4: the curve and we thought we were. We're gonna start

220
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: a building now.

221
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: Instead of something. I don't know. It's gonna be free agents.

222
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is gonna be great. It's gonna be so awesome. Okay,

223
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: Royals at Yankees. That's the next game later this afternoon.

224
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: I have the Yankees making the World Series. I need

225
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: them to win this one. Yankees have Garrett Cole going

226
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: in Game one. So the real question is can the

227
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: Royals put up enough runs versus New York because they

228
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: only scored three runs in the two wild card games,

229
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: or star Bobby wit Junior driving in the winning runs.

230
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 5: And when you have guys like Aaron Judge.

231
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: And Wan Soto to the top hitters in the game

232
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 2: at home at Yankee Stadium, I'm putting my money on

233
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 2: them to go off.

234
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: It's going to go off. Like the igue.

235
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 4: Baseball is salivating at the fact that not only is

236
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 4: Dodgers Yankees.

237
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: Possible that that's why we're Vegas the top, you.

238
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: Know, like the betting off, all that other stuff like

239
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 4: that is the most likely matchup for this world series.

240
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: That's I don't know if you want to hear that good,

241
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 3: I don't care.

242
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 5: I'm taking la baby.

243
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: But let's let's move on to the most anticipated series

244
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: this postseason. And there's a reason why, but Padres at Dodgers.

245
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: This is the third time in the last five postseason

246
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and Padres meet in the NLDS, and it's

247
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: turned into a really beautiful, fun rivalry. Finally that started.

248
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: I don't think it started when the Dodgers swept the

249
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: Padres in twenty twenty. I think it started when the

250
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: Padres knocked out the Dodgers in twenty twenty two.

251
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 7: And then this.

252
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: Season like battle really started when the teams kicked off

253
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: their their season in Seoul, and you could tell from

254
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: the first game of the season this was going to

255
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: be an epic battle if both these teams could make

256
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: it to the postseason. Obviously, the Dodgers have been one

257
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: of the best regular season teams over the last decade.

258
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: We knew they were going to get here, especially adding Otani,

259
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: which is the most exciting thing of all you guys,

260
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: show Hey, Otani making his postseason debut in his seventh season, Like,

261
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: this is the exaus act reason that Otani signed with

262
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 2: the Dodgers to play and to win. In October and

263
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 2: Otani spoke to the media this week and he was

264
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: asked all of he was nervous playing in the postseason.

265
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: Didn't even like take a moment for his translator to translate.

266
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: It just went nope, Like he said, It's always been

267
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: his childhood dream to play in important situations, to play

268
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: in important games, and the excitement of that is greater

269
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: than anything else he could possibly feel.

270
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 4: We're going to find out if this five game you know,

271
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 4: mini buy whatever, that these these top seeded teams get now.

272
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 2: Well, it hurts, it hurts. It hurt the Dodgers in

273
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 2: the past games in the past.

274
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 4: The Yankees had it too this year, So like, is

275
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 4: that are they going to get off to a hot start?

276
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 4: Is there going to be kind of some having to

277
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 4: get used to it again, get warmed back up?

278
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 3: Or is show Hey, it's just.

279
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: You know, I think show Hay is going to lead

280
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 2: by example We've already seen how Otani rises to see

281
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: the occasion in high stake situations. He Homer's on his

282
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: bibblehead day, hit two home runs in the same day

283
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: to reach and creating fifty the club.

284
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

285
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: He won the WBC for Team Japan, coming in as

286
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: a closer to face Mike Trout and strike him out

287
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: to beat tam Usa and win the World Baseball Classic.

288
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 2: Otani was born for the pressure, you guys. He is

289
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: as hot of a player that you can be right now,

290
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 2: like he is red hot, and we knew that was

291
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 2: gonna happen. He's already created history tonight. I'm just I'm

292
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: so excited to see what goes down. The Padres have

293
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: Dylan Ceese on the mound. Dodgers have Yoshinobu Yamamoto also

294
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: making his MLB postseason debut.

295
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 5: These are two powerhouse top lineups.

296
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: I mean, Padres Luisa Rise for Fernando Tati's junior Profar Machado, Jackson, Merrill,

297
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: Xander Boguards. Like at the top of both of these

298
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: lineups Dodgers Otani, Mookie Betts, Freddie if he's if he's healthy,

299
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: We're hoping that Angle's okay to Oscar Hernandez, Max Munsey,

300
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: Will Smith, like this is this could go off as

301
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: just like I hope I love a home run party,

302
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: Like give me Dangers all day, danger City. That's all

303
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: I want, Danger City. I no pitching duel, give me

304
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: the let's let's get a bunch of Dodgers home runs.

305
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: But I also want to like you want to see

306
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: a good game, Like I'm just I am so excited

307
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: for this. We're in for such a treat this postseason,

308
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: especially with Fox having all the National League games. I mean,

309
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: Mets Phillies is gonna be insane, Dodgers Padres is gonna

310
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: be insane.

311
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 3: Fox is salivating at all of this.

Speaker 3: Yeah, what was that. I don't know. That wasn't me.

315
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: I think that was Lorena. I'm into that. I'm salivating noise.

316
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, sorry, guys, We're gonna take a quick break here.

Speaker 2: my mood is like elevated to level ten.

Speaker 5: That's what this song does for me. Every time. Ear

Speaker 5: to ears smile.

336
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: That's good one.

337
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to some of the big news

338
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: that dropped this week, and it was DeVante Adams requesting

339
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: a trade. Now we're hearing reports that is frustration with

340
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: the team really kind of started at the end of

341
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: last season and how the Raiders' organization treated his boy

342
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: Derek Carr, who was a big reason that Adams decided

343
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: to come play in Vegas. So everyone this week has

344
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: been you know, kind of guessing where his landing spots.

345
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: Would be what teams need him, what teams have draft

346
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: capital for him, what teams are willing to get creative

347
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: as Cynthia calls it, creative accounting. And it's looking like

348
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 2: he'll probably go for a second round pick at this point,

349
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: maybe some lower level picks or a player, maybe a

350
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 2: team to cover a salary. But Adams posted on his

351
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 2: Instagram story yesterday a quote from Edgar Allan Poe.

352
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 3: He just put up a picture of Edgar Allan Poe with.

353
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: The famous It was a quote that he because he

354
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 2: wrote the Raven Yes, and the quote is, you know,

355
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: believe nothing you hear in half of what you see.

356
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: So everyone's kind of going crazy reading into the Raven

357
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: part of it and freaking out about everything. But he

358
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: has said, like his wish list, he would like to

359
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: play with quarterbacks he's played with, right so Aaron Rodgers

360
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 2: and the Jets or Derek Carr and the Saints both

361
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: would be better by adding DeVante Adams at this point.

362
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: But there are other top quarterbacks and teams that also

363
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: could really use him right now. The Chiefs just lost

364
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: Rashi Rice to the ir PA Checko, possibly out for

365
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 2: the season. Two of their top weapons would the Raiders

366
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: trade within the division, though, to the best team in

367
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: the league. I mean, I say, get what you want.

368
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: You're not beating the Chiefs anyway, Like take something from

369
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: them to get better.

370
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 3: You got Bills.

371
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: They don't necessarily have a number one star wide receiver,

372
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: since trading Stefon Diggs and having someone like Adams for

373
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: Josh Allen could be a game changer. He's also used

374
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 2: to playing in the cold, so that's a plus. Cowboys

375
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 2: have kind of been shut down this week. They were

376
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 2: like top of the conversation and then that's been kind

377
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 2: of shut down. Steelers kind of maybe in the conversation

378
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: only because they were in the Brandon Ayuk conversation and

379
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: they were looking for a top wide receiver and didn't

380
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: get him.

381
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 5: So, Carmen, where do you think DeVante Adams is going

382
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 5: to land?

383
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 4: I think you need to break it down between like

384
00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 4: where he should go, Yeah, what's actually realistic and what

385
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 4: teams are actually going to go for it? So the

386
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 4: obvious thing is, yeah, the Kansas City Chiefs need him.

387
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: Oh that she Rice.

388
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 4: We don't even know what's wrong with sheet Rice yet.

389
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 4: I say, Pataco on ir all that other stuff. You

390
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: have to think though obviously they're in the same division,

391
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 4: that's not really likely. But at the same time, I

392
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 4: think a huge motivation for the Raiders to do this

393
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: deals demonte Adams wants out. Yes, he is under contract though, Yeah,

394
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 4: the only motivation for the Raiders to do this is

395
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 4: to offload his contract. Yeah, haven't paid a massive contract

396
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 4: and he's like hitting the salary cap for a lot

397
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 4: of money on top of the team guarantees and all

398
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 4: that other stuff.

399
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 3: And the Ravens are not the Ravens.

400
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 4: The Raiders are not known for being the most financially

401
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 4: savvy of organizations.

402
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 3: I know Mark Davis is desperate to offload this thing.

403
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 4: So if it's the Kansas City Chiefs that come to

404
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 4: you with the best offers say it will take his

405
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 4: salary on, it would I just because rivalries are just

406
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 4: not what they used to be anymore. I think that

407
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 4: they do exist in the in the AFC West, and

408
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 4: obviously everybody wants to stick it to the Chiefs, and

409
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 4: you don't want it as a division team to be

410
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 4: giving them any.

411
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: More, ammo, even if you're not in contention here.

412
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 4: So I still think it's very unlikely, and I still

413
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 4: think think they say fu, because I do think there's

414
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 4: going to be other suitors.

415
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 3: Now, the question in New.

416
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 4: York for the Jets, I think it's you know, it's

417
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 4: a given that they're going to be interested in this race.

418
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 4: For Devonte Adams. The question here is is Aaron Aaron

419
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 4: Rodgers going to take little you know, rework his contract

420
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 4: a little bit to give the Jets a little bit

421
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: extra money?

422
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 8: Now?

423
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: How many years this is Rogers House? He's got another one,

424
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: so it's this season and one more.

425
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 8: Yeah.

426
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 9: And then.

427
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 4: The thing about it, it's like people do this all

428
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 4: the time, they reworking in the contracts, all that other stuff.

429
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 4: People are saying, well, the Jets aren't paying a son

430
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 4: Reddick right now, that situation is all a mess. So

431
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 4: you have the money to get Devonte Adams. If you

432
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 4: think the ha Son Reddic situation is going to eventually

433
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 4: work out and you are going to need to pay

434
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 4: him that money, you need to free up more space.

435
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 4: The Jets, I believe have about seventeen million right now.

436
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: You probably to be safe need about twenty in your

437
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 4: cap space to afford a guy like Davante Adams. Afford

438
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 4: that contract, get him to a deal that you know

439
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 4: he likes and take on all of that money. I

440
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: really I would love him to go to the Ravens

441
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 4: and be the Ravens like they have Zay Flowers. But

442
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 4: Mark Andrews isn't isn't what do they have.

443
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: To be capital They could do it, Okay, they could.

444
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 4: Do it again, it's all the creative like they could

445
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 4: absolutely do it creative accounting. And I think that they

446
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 4: would massively benefit from having DeVante Adams on the roster.

447
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 4: But the way that the roster and the way the

448
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 4: scheme is currently constructed in Baltimore is it's a run

449
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 4: first offense. It goes through Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry,

450
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 4: as it should when you have those two players, So

451
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 4: it's not as if you really need that that really

452
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 4: explosive passing game.

453
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: I don't know. I would like to see it.

454
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 4: It would be very I think the Ravens would be

455
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 4: unstoppable if that was the case. Josh Allen and the Bills,

456
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 4: that could happen, sure, but he's doing just fine without him.

457
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's elevating fine, but just fine, like for the

458
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 2: rest of the season. It would be nice.

459
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 4: Trajectory though, and like this is yeah, it would still Again,

460
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 4: there are so many teams that it would be nice

461
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 4: to have DeVante Adams. The one that I think is

462
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 4: the most realistic is still the New York Jets because

463
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 4: of the fact that Aaron Rodgers would I don't think

464
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 4: it's realistic that he ends.

465
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 5: Up with the Chiefs because of the division.

466
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 3: Because of the division, it's like, again, nobody wants to pay.

467
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: If no one like picks them up and this like

468
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: drags out. I think that's when the Chiefs have the

469
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 2: best chance to go out and get him.

470
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 4: Well, yes, that you're gonna have to have a lack

471
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 4: of interest from other teams, and I'm saying that I

472
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 4: don't think that that's gonna happen. I think that there

473
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: are plenty other teams that again would either like DeVante

474
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 4: Adams and.

475
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 3: Can't afford him.

476
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 4: Not to mention, I do think that the Jets are

477
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 4: going to make a huge push to get him at

478
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 4: at the best of Aaron Rodgers.

479
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 3: Who is going to want to play with he Aaron Rodgers.

480
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 4: The Jets leader in scrimmage yards is Breece Hall as

481
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 4: a running back, even though most of them have come

482
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 4: on receiving yards. His second the guy who was the

483
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 4: second most yards on the New York Jets offense right now, Alanzard,

484
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 4: who is not on a team if it's not for

485
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. Yep, Aaron Rodgers does not trust Garrett Wilson yet. Nope,

486
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 4: he barely trusts Breese Hall.

487
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 3: But he's just checking down.

488
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 4: To him also to get the guy that he trust

489
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 4: get the guy that he trusts y espentially New York.

490
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 3: If you're actually talking about Super Bowl this year, super

491
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 3: Bowl next.

492
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: Year, and jobs are on the line this year. If

493
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: you guys don't get something done, go out, get the guy.

494
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 2: Do whatever it takes.

495
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 5: Now it's check in with Martin Wise and see what's trending.

496

Speaker 2: it up for Mike Golic Junior.

547
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: What's y'all?

548
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 8: How are we doing?

549
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, buddy, we just so when we tease you.

550
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: I put out your your mayonnaise photo and we're like

551
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: watching a game right now, and they were literally just

552
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: squeezing mayonnaise into their mouth.

553
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 5: So I think it's just you know, timing, is everything?

554
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 3: Happy to have you, It's it's my worst nightmare, actually

555
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 3: worst nightmare. Mike does how I feel about.

556
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 8: Coonomagni to really, I say, the universe makes this happen

557
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 8: just to personally attack Karma. That's the point.

558
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: I love it so much, Mike.

559
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 2: Let's let's start with Davante Adams reportedly wanting the trade

560
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 2: out of Vegas.

561
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 5: Were you surprised to hear this? And where do you

562
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 5: think he's going to land?

563
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 8: I wasn't surprised to hear it, necessarily given the station

564
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 8: that the Las Vegas Raiders are in right now. We

565
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 8: knew going into this year the quarterback of the future

566
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 8: wasn't on the roster. DeVante Adams as a wide receiver

567
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 8: who's getting older, and I won't say best days are

568
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 8: behind him yet, but he's at the point where he

569
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 8: has to start thinking about these things, and based on

570
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 8: the start to the season for them, those things would

571
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 8: make sense hitting here, though, at least in parts heard

572
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 8: by the fact that we've got reports that Antonio Pierce's

573
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 8: out here liking Instagram. Yeah, he made those thinly veiled

574
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 8: comments after the game about players making business decisions that

575
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 8: may or may not have been a reference to him.

576
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 8: Like how messy the divorce might potentially be has been

577
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 8: the shocking part for sure, but I.

578
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 5: Mean it was messy with Derek Carr too, So like,

579
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 5: are we surprised, No.

580
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 8: I mean the Raiders at some point, you know, they

581
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 8: are a team that might not get the Cowboys level

582
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 8: of branding when it comes to the we know drama

583
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 8: the old line, but the Raiders have certainly always been

584
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 8: up there, and for Mark Davison Company, an organization that

585
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 8: is as much mom and pop, if not more, than

586
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 8: any of these NFL franchises, I guess we shouldn't be

587
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 8: all that surprised.

588
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 4: Speaking of the Cowboys to the wild part of all

589
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 4: of this is everybody's like, Nah, Cowboys don't spend that

590
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 4: kind of money and then it comes out today and

591
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 4: Cooks is going on ir and yet no. But that's

592
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 4: the thing is no one else is still saying like, oh, well,

593
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 4: now the Cowboys are gonna go out and get Adams.

594
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 4: They absolutely should, but Jerry Jones is so stubborn to

595
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 4: an absolutely insane degree because he should be a cowboy

596
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 4: after this.

597
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 8: Right, Mike, you would think like there were a few,

598
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 8: you know, and at Carmen, I think it is a

599
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 8: perfect estimate to exactly the brand that Jerry Jones is

600
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 8: built for himself, not just this offseason but every off season.

601
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 8: At the helms of the Dallas Cowboys were it's so

602
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 8: far out of what we know they would do. We

603
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 8: didn't even really bring their names up like everyone talked about,

604
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 8: Oh well, Baltimore would be a great fit Buffalo. You know,

605
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 8: they're young and green with the weapons there, especially with

606
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 8: departure of Steph Diggs. You look at a team like Washington,

607
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 8: you look at the team like the New Orleans Saints,

608
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 8: of the connections there, and no one was like, oh yeah, well,

609
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 8: like Dallas, there absolutely be in the mix of this

610
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 8: because we know while it would be good for them,

611
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 8: one of the Cowboys laugh really readily done anything that's

612
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 8: good for them out us all bullying them at nauseum

613
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 8: and Jerry waiting until the umteenth hour and making a

614
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 8: bunch of vague references about leaves. It just doesn't happen.

615
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 8: And unfortunately for Cowboys that it's going to be the

616
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 8: case yet again here.

617
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 5: Well, one of the other.

618
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: Top landing spots for Devanta Adams could be the Jets,

619
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: But we are seeing, you know, Aaron Rodgers Robert Solam

620
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: making headlines earlier this week for having issues with the.

621
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 5: Cadence on the offense.

622
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 2: They both kind of brush it aside, but there's been

623
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: like a bit of tension right between the two of

624
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: them since he called Aaron out for missing mandatory mini camp.

625
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: Do you see this being the best landing spot for

626
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams, Not really.

627
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 8: No, Like I mean, if it was the best football

628
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 8: landing spot at this point, I truly think it would

629
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 8: be the Baltimore Ravens.

630
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 11: Right.

631
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 8: You go to a team that's got a two time

632
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 8: MVP quarterback, an offense that's the best rushing attack in

633
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 8: the league, that desperately needs your type of receiver, like

634
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 8: a true X wide receiver, has not existed in Baltimore

635
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 8: for quite some time. And as they wait for Mark

636
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 8: Andrews to come back to his full form at the

637
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 8: tight end spot there and have someone in the passing

638
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 8: game to truly consistently compliment Dave Flowers, DeVante Adams comes

639
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 8: in and immediately upgrades you in a major way.

640
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: With the Jets.

641
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 8: It's high risk going to do this because to your point,

642
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 8: the tension of the Jets right now is everyone in

643
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 8: that building understanding if this doesn't go well, and well

644
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 8: is winning the Super Bowl, because that's to bring Aaron

645
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 8: Rodgers here to due the whole thing's probably going to

646
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 8: get blown up sooner than later. And if you're DeVante Adams,

647
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 8: do you want to be less as a part of

648
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 8: that wreckage when it's all said and done, because your

649
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 8: buddy Aaron Rodgers probably not going to be around for

650
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 8: all that many more years, and certainly not as many

651
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 8: years as DeVante is capable of still playing. So I

652
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 8: do think that that's the situation where you do have

653
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 8: the comfort level and going in mid season wanting to

654
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 8: get as much as you can out of twenty twenty four,

655
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 8: maximize those opportunities. I get why that relationship would matter

656
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 8: from a football standpoint, but from an overall team standpoint,

657
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 8: a vibe standpoint, it's hard to back anything at the Jets.

658
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's really realistic, just given the fact

659
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 4: that Aaron Rodgers seems to get his way and he will.

660
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 4: He doesn't trust anybody on that team that he hasn't

661
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 4: played with already. Essentially, because I was just telling Alex

662
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 4: before you got on, Alan Lazard has the second most

663
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 4: scrimmage yards on the Jets right now, behind Breesault, Like

664
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 4: Alizard isn't on a roster if it's not for Aaron

665
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 4: Rodgers at this point, So clearly he needs someone else

666
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 4: he can trust there. But I want to switch gears

667
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 4: with you, Mike, because you are a man of many

668
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: talents and you may not be calling a game today,

669
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna make you work for it anyway. NCAA

670
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 4: Football ap Top twenty five. You're Notre Dame, Irish. I

671
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 4: just they're sitting at fourteen. They have one loss on

672
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 4: the season, but the vibes have not been great in

673
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 4: South Bend. Mike, what are your thoughts?

674
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what, Notre Dame. First off, I love

675
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 8: a goodbye weekend because nothing can happen that can damage

676
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 8: me as a fan that so I get a nice

677
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 8: break to enjoy everyone else riding the anxiety roller coaster.

678
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 8: But I think New York notre names are a really

679
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 8: unique point in this. And you know, you get a

680
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 8: ranked win over Louisville at home this last weekend that

681
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 8: wasn't pretty, but you got it done, and you made

682
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 8: the playsoff turnovers that you needed to, and certainly defensively,

683
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 8: things seem to have even doubt Riley Leonard has started

684
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 8: to become a more prolific passer, but there's still a

685
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 8: lot to be desired. Your win against Texas A and

686
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 8: m is aging incredibly well so when Louisville unfortunately went

687
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 8: out and spit the fit this weekend. But I do

688
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 8: think going forward now you've got a unique opportunity and

689
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 8: the schedule to still be a college football playoff contender

690
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 8: if you use this bye week the right way and

691
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 8: come out on the other side of this playing a

692
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 8: little bit cleaner football and having some of those young

693
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 8: players defensively at the linebacker level, offensively up front of

694
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 8: that offensive line start to take that next step maturity wise,

695
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 8: and maybe get a chance to catch their breath because

696
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 8: down the stretch of the season. Now you look at

697
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 8: the schedule and you've got undefeated service academies. I know,

698
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 8: everyone shrugs off Army in NATS and kind of looks sick.

699
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 8: And then you'll have USC that's potentially a top ten

700
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 8: team at the end of the season to finish that

701
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 8: up because you don't have the conference championship. So Notre

702
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 8: Dame's dreams are all out in front of them. But

703
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 8: unfortunately at this point, based on one Notre names foot

704
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 8: on tape, they are good enough to beat everyone on

705
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 8: their schedule, and they are also inconsistent enough right now

706
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 8: to lose to any of these teams coming up. That

707
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 8: includes Georgia Tech that's can be coming to South End.

708
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 8: Maybe even still a talented Florida State team depending on

709
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 8: what happens, and they have a quarterback change their force

710
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 8: by injury today, so lots to keep an eye on

711
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 8: for them. But they are talented enough and deep enough

712
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 8: in a lot of areas that makes it happen.

713
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 5: Okay, one more before we let you go.

714
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders has become the face of college football, one

715
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: of the big faces, grooming a couple of his Stars

716
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: two way Star Travis Hunter, including his son Shador Sanders.

717
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: Is Shador positioning himself to be a top quarterback in

718
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 2: the draft.

719
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 8: I think so, I mean, listen, I don't know. The

720
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 8: race for number one is going to be interesting this

721
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 8: year because so many of these guys I think were

722
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 8: clustered in an area that didn't feel as high on

723
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 8: the talent as it was with the last crop of

724
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 8: quarterbacks we saw with six going in the first round.

725
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 8: But Shador, outside of just the name brand value, yeah,

726
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 8: I think has reminded me a lot of Joe Burrow

727
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 8: in certain ways where he doesn't have the dynamic, he

728
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 8: doesn't have like Sellar arm strength, but he's got really

729
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 8: good sense in the pocket. He buys time really well.

730
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 8: Shadur is not quite as athletic as Joe is, I think,

731
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 8: but moves around pretty well, gets himself out of trouble,

732
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 8: has good timing on the deep passes, is really poised

733
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 8: and under control when things are breaking down around him,

734
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 8: and unfortunately the last couple of seasons that's been more

735
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 8: of the norm than it has been the exception. And

736
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 8: so I do think he's a guy that so far

737
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 8: and this team is actually you know forgetting the headlines,

738
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 8: for getting all Deon Sanders quotes to the media, like

739
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 8: they've played solid football this season. They've improved drastically on

740
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 8: defense in a lot of phases, and offensively, Chador is

741
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 8: playing really well. So yeah, I think he's going to

742
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 8: be right in that mix with the group. You know,

743
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 8: cam Warden, the season he's having in Miami right now,

744
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 8: Jalen Milroe and what he's done at Alabama, Carson Beck

745
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 8: at Georgia. I was a guy that a lot of

746
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 8: people were on coming into the season, but standards is

747
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 8: that going to absolutely have his day in court to

748
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 8: be the top guy.

749
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 5: Mike, thank you for joining us and working on your

750
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:06,279

816
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 4: signs have been next level behind the game day desk.

817
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 4: My favorite, the Adams Owners Treaty was a mistake. What

818
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 4: is the Adam's ownest treaty? You would ask, because we're

819
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 4: all not smart enough because we didn't.

820
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 3: Go to Berkeley.

821
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 4: It's the treaty that annexed Florida. They are playing Miami.

822
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 4: It's where Spain seated control over the territory to the

823
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 4: United States. And they're just saying the entire state of

824
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 4: Florida just absolutely what.

827
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 2: this is another shout out. Baker Mayfield Kirk Cousins teamed

828
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 2: up to support Hurricane clean Yeah victims. The quarterbacks and

829
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 2: their families have pledged fifty thousand dollars each to help

830
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 2: the relief efforts. And then we also saw on game

831
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 2: day morning today. I don't know if you saw the

832
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: Pat McFee does the like, if you take the.

833
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 3: Field goal six one hundred thousand dollars.

834
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: This student made a seven hundred thousand dollars field goal.

835
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: He got one hundred thousand dollars and then six hundred

836
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 2: thousand dollars went to the hurricane relief funds.

837
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 5: So that was just like again, let's.

838
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 4: Go, yeah, let's go, I've got another. Don't okay, don't

839
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 4: be a diva. You might have heard from Martin Weiss

840
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 4: talking about how Romeo Dobs has now suspended one game

841
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 4: because there was some frustration this week. He missed practice,

842
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 4: he sat out of practice voluntarily. And what I do

843
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 4: not understand about this whole situation, Romeo, you have played

844
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 4: two games with a backup quarterback. Your entire offense has

845
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 4: been in flux. Also, your offense is predicated on distributing

846
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 4: the ball. It's why the Packers are so dangerous because

847
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 4: there's so many different options.

848
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 3: On top of that, I looked up the target share.

849
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 4: Twenty two targets to Jaden Reid, twenty two targets at

850
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 4: Dantavian Wicks. Yeah, twenty targets to Romeo Dobs. You're not

851
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 4: even getting targeted any less. Really than any of these

852
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 4: other guys. I do not understand being this sped up

853
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 4: this early when you've had a backup quarterback, when your.

854
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 3: Offense is what it is, which you've been in for

855
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 3: three years. Dude. They did this with dir Alexander last year.

856
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 3: They put him in time out. I commend the Packers

857
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 3: for doing this and for riding the ship, so.

858
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 4: Hopefully they will go forward. Romeo will learn for this.

859
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 4: Don't be at diva, man. The team is doing fine.

860
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 4: It's still set up. I know they lost to Minnesota,

861
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 4: but fine.

862
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 2: I love this all right when we come back. You guys,

863
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: who's been the biggest surprise in the NFL this season.

864
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Welcome to hour two

865
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 2: of Fox Football Saturday. AM Alex Curry alongside Carmen Vitally.

866
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: We are broadcasting live from the tire dot Com Studios.

867
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 2: Thank you for spending your Saturday afternoon with Carme and me.

868
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 2: We've had some good MLBY postseason action already. I mean,

869
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if you would call Cleveland crushing Detroit

870
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 2: seven to nothing good, but it's underway and that's happening.

871
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 3: We got Phillies up one to nothing.

872
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 5: Over the Mets. We had a shore bomb. That's the

873
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 5: only score in that game.

874
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 2: First time these two teams have ever met in the postseason,

875
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 2: and I gotta say so, I've been lucky to be

876
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 2: able to cover some Phillies postseason over the last two years.

877
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 5: That is one of the craziest fan bases I have ever.

878
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 4: That is an evergreen statement when it comes to any

879
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 4: Philly sports, not just the actual Phillies, but the Eagles, Yes,

880
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 4: the Sixers, yes, even to the Flyers.

881
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 11: Man.

882
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 2: We were doing our like pregame shows at Exfinity Live,

883
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 2: which is like the Center, I don't even know what

884
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 2: you would call it, like almost a mall for bars,

885
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: like it is an indoor mall for bars and restaurants,

886
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: and just insanity with giant TV screens, projectors everywhere of

887
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 2: whatever games are going on at that time. I just

888
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 2: I fell in love with the Philly fan base, like

889
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: I love a little bit of crazy.

890
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 3: They are the reason that I do what I do.

891
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 4: Dad, my dad's from Philly, my mom's from Phillies. I

892
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 4: grew up watching sports with my dad, with my uncles,

893
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 4: with my cousins. They are all absolutely insane. My godfather

894
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 4: had to go to anger management because of how upset

895
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 4: he would get over Eagles games.

896
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 2: So this makes sense because my first time experiencing it,

897
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 2: like we were covering we were covering the Phillies game,

898
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 2: and Fox always has like a couple of tickets like

899
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 2: in the stands. I was like, well, let me just go,

900
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 2: let me go feel it out, like in between like

901
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 2: our shows. And so I sat down and there was

902
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: this like eight year old in front of us, ended

903
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: up standing up on his chair yep, all of his

904
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: stats whatnot. And I was just like, uh huh, like

905
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 2: tears of joy. I'm like, this is incredible.

906
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 4: I had never heard combinations of swear words that I

907
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 4: have in my uncle's living room, like as a child,

908
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 4: Like I was a child in this living room just

909
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 4: listening to my uncles and cousins just cuss out these

910
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 4: guys that will never hear them, no, never know they exist, No,

911
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 4: but the entire mood just fluctuates. It's phenomenal. They're in

912
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 4: an extremely passionate fan base. They are not a patient

913
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 4: fan base. They are very hard to win over there,

914
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 4: very hard to keep happy. But God love them.

915
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 3: I love it so much. I love you, Philly.

916
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,040

00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 2: little battle this season. But let's start in Atlanta. The

937
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 2: OT winners from Thursday Night Football. Kirk Cousins.

938
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 3: Wow.

939
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 2: Just remember he is also coming off the biggest injury

940
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: of his career, torn achilles that happened later than Aaron

941
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 2: Rodgers did, and we spent a lot of time this

942
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 2: offseason talking about can Aaron Rodgers come back? Is he

943
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 2: gonna be okay? Kirk Cousins was coming back from the

944
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 2: same thing and also new team, new system. The Falcons

945
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 2: drafted his replacement with eighth overall pick and he has

946
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 2: been showing up and showing out. The last two minutes

947
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 2: of that Thursday Night game was madness, block field goals,

948
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 2: punch out turnovers, down to the last second field goal

949
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: to tie it and then the ot win, and Kirk

950
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 2: Cousins was on the Herd on Friday really just explaining

951
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 2: how we got to this point.

952
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 7: I think you certainly can get to a place where

953
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 7: you feel like the game slows down and you've got

954
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 7: good anticipation. I think that for me, what troubled me

955
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 7: to start the year was I didn't feel like I

956
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 7: had that anticipation or that sense of where things were going.

957
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 7: And each week I've improved, and then I felt like

958
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 7: last night, our offense and my own play kind of

959
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 7: took a big jump forward where I was anticipating better.

960
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 7: I was playing fast, I was quick, but I wasn't

961
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 7: in a hurry, And that's really where you want to

962
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 7: be all the time. But it's just taken me a

963
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 7: few weeks to get there, and now the challenges can

964
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 7: we sustain over the next few months.

965
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 2: Now, Carmon, you've spent a good amount of time covering

966
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins and it's time with the Vikings. But what's

967
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 2: impressed you most about Cousins and what he's done this

968
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 2: year in Atlanta?

969
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's just coming back from what

970
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 4: a catastrophic injury that was. At the age that he is,

971
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 4: I mean, he's in a spring chicken. He's thirty five,

972
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 4: thirty six years old. That was not something that I

973
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 4: was going to take for granted that he was going

974
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 4: to come back and be the same player. And in fact,

975
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 4: when you see him throw, he still isn't quite planning

976
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 4: on that back foot. You can still see his heel

977
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 4: kind of up in the air a little bit. I

978
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 4: think krisap Street pointed that out on the broadcast. Which

979
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 4: affects the torque, It affects how far the ball can travel,

980
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 4: how fast the ball can travel, everything. But what they've

981
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 4: done a really good job and what's Zach Robinson in particular,

982
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 4: their offensive coordinator Atlanta has done a really good job

983
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 4: of is really kind of insulate against that and Kirk

984
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 4: having to hold the ball, risking getting hurt, risking getting hit.

985
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 4: It's the ball's coming out quickly. Like Kirk just said,

986
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 4: he's moving quick without being hurried or he's not in

987
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 4: a hurry, and that's allowing him to see all of

988
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 4: the different weapons that he has at his disposal. You're

989
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 4: getting Drake London involve, getting Kyle Pit's involved finally, who

990
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 4: hadn't been really involved up until Thursday night. You have

991
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 4: Bjeon Robinson, who is such a little Swiss Army knife.

992
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 4: Between what he can do on the ground and then

993
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 4: you know, catching passes out of the backfield especially, so

994
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 4: there is so much opportunity in Atlanta for this to

995
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 4: really kind of start clicking.

996
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 3: And that's what you're seeing.

997
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 4: You're seeing the incremental improvement and Kirk getting a little

998
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 4: bit more comfortable to the tune of averages. This man

999
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 4: threw for a franchise record five hundred and nine yards

1000
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 4: in one single game. But he also threw the ball

1001
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 4: fifty eight times, so that's that's not exactly the split

1002
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 4: you necessarily want to see. Now the game went into overtime,

1003
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 4: that's including overtime. That makes a difference. Obviously because there's

1004
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 4: extra football being played. You would still like to see

1005
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 4: some of this being taken off of Kirk's shoulders. But

1006
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 4: Kirk has also completely shed his narrative that he can't

1007
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 4: perform in prime time. Just listen to what he's been

1008
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 4: able to do. This was going into the game.

1009
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 7: He was.

1010
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,439
Speaker 4: Had twenty five and twenty eight passing yards three hundred

1011
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 4: and sixteen per game, and nineteen touchdown passes for one

1012
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 4: hundred and seven point nine rating in his past eight

1013
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 4: Thursday starts leading into Thursday's game, including two or more

1014
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 4: touchdown passes in seven of the eight games. So now

1015
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 4: you add on that's now eight of nine games that

1016
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 4: he's had two or more touchdown passes, and in general

1017
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 4: he's had over one hundred quarterback rating in four of

1018
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 4: his last prime time starts. So there was this whole

1019
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 4: narrative early in Kirk's career that he could he did

1020
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 4: not show up for the biggest moments. He has completely

1021
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 4: flipped that on his head.

1022
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he talked about that too when he was on

1023
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 2: the herd, because Starden, that's all he kept he thought

1024
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 2: about I thought about it, and he used it his motivation,

1025
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 2: and I just I wanted to show like I can

1026
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 2: show up and I can be that guy.

1027
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 4: Yet he has been the guy that can't show up

1028
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 4: and be clutched for so much longer than we've given

1029
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 4: him credit for, as just evidence in all of those

1030
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 4: stats and those fun things. And then yeah, you show

1031
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 4: up on the biggest night, you have things going wrong

1032
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 4: in the kicking game, I mean, young Wayku missed two

1033
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 4: field goals, had one blocked. Things were not necessarily clicking

1034
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 4: in other aspects of the team itself because the defense

1035
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 4: was letting up explosive plays at Baker Mayfield. I mean,

1036
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 4: he had three touchdown passes before you could even blink

1037
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 4: that that night.

1038
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 3: Yep.

1039
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 4: And yet Kirk still battled back, and then the final

1040
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 4: two minutes of that game then over time leading that drive.

1041
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 4: I mean, it was just it's I'm so happy for

1042
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 4: Kirk saying because he's such a good guy and was

1043
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 4: not I think a lot of people in Minnesota knew

1044
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 4: how good of a quarterback he was, but he was

1045
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 4: still kind of a punchline for the rest of the league,

1046
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 4: and now he's not.

1047
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 3: I love it.

1048
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 2: How do you not like fall in love with Kirk

1049
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 2: Cousins when you hear him talk. He's just like such

1050
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 2: a passionate guy who cares, which is great.

1051
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 3: I love it so much.

1052
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 2: Okay, now let's talk about the other guy who's gotten

1053
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: take taken such great advantage of this next opportunity obviously

1054
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 2: last season into this season, but Baker Mayfield, he has

1055
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 2: become the bucks Pirate. He has found his home and

1056
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 2: fits in so perfectly. And heading into the game against

1057
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 2: the Falcons, he was hit top ten numbers, second and

1058
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 2: passer passing touchdowns, fifth and passer rating, sixth in passing yards,

1059
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 2: and ninth incompletion percentage. He had top quarterback numbers and

1060
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 2: I am just so happy for his turn around. We

1061
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 2: talk so much about the right fit, not only like

1062
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,240
Speaker 2: the quarterback to the team, but the coach to the quarterback,

1063
00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 2: like everything has to to really mesh in the right

1064
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 2: way for things to work. And this is Baker's fourth

1065
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,760
Speaker 2: team in his career, and it feels like it's finally working.

1066
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 2: And it was such a such a like a dramatic jump,

1067
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 2: especially for how things ended with the Browns and the

1068
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 2: way it ended choosing the badman over Baker. It's just like,

1069
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 2: I'm so happy also for this Bucks team to have

1070
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 2: a strong quarterback after losing obviously the goat Tom Brady,

1071
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 2: who brings you a Super Bowl and it's okay, like

1072
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 2: what's next after him?

1073
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 5: Like you got Baker and he can still be himself.

1074
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 4: The Bucks wanted Baker before Tom Brady. Baker was the

1075
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 4: backup plan to Tom. If they couldn't land Tom. Interesting,

1076
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 4: they wanted Baker Interesting. This team has wanted Baker.

1077
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,959
Speaker 3: For a long time, sting so last year, Yeah, when.

1078
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 4: Baker finally gets there, it was instantaneous, like this is

1079
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 4: not shocking to me at all, And I realized that

1080
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 4: I have a better lens than most people do into

1081
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 4: this organization.

1082
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 2: If you're unaware, Carmen was the team reporter for the

1083
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 2: Bucks when they won the Super Bowl and for how

1084
00:50:58,120 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 2: many years?

1085
00:50:58,520 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 3: Six years?

1086
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, and a lot of those guys that I worked

1087
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 4: with are still there. It has let me be privy

1088
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 4: to a lot of kind of the behind the scenes

1089
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 4: of what has gone into building this team and sustaining

1090
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 4: this team after Tom Brady's departure, and Baker instantaneously felt

1091
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 4: like he belonged. He set up his foundation with his wife,

1092
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 4: and like they bought a house and they did all

1093
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 4: of this stuff in Tampa, and they wanted to stay

1094
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 4: in Tampa. There was never a doubt in my mind

1095
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 4: that they were going to extend him after this last year.

1096
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 4: And now it I mean, it's it showed last year.

1097
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,320
Speaker 4: It's showing even more now that like this is his

1098
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 4: team and he is so comfortable, he is wanted. He

1099
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 4: fits right in the They went out and they wanted

1100
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 4: his input for offensive coordinator. When Dave can Alice left

1101
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 4: for Carolina, kind they brought in Liam Cohen, who Baker

1102
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 4: has worked with and worked with at that short stit

1103
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 4: with the Rams. This is all just a really good

1104
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,800
Speaker 4: marriage of wanting a guy, making him feel welcome and

1105
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 4: making him feel valued. And that's what the Bucks are

1106
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 4: so good at. A lot of that team has still

1107
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 4: left over from the Super Bowl team. You've kind of

1108
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 4: got some of these aging guys. But the connection between

1109
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 4: Baker and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Chris Godwin finally

1110
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 4: looks back to normal last year coming off the knee

1111
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 4: injury that I was so worried about him, and now

1112
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 4: he looks like his old self, and it's just it's

1113
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 4: it's so rewarding to see these guys having so much

1114
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 4: fun playing football, and like the way that Baker plays

1115
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 4: off his offensive line and how they play off of him.

1116
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 4: It's just he's showing himself and.

1117
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 3: He can be himself.

1118
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 2: He can be as we were talking about him, like

1119
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 2: doing like the Gus Shoayze saying, like going undercover, like

1120
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,439
Speaker 2: being with the fans acting weird son.

1121
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 4: He's so interactive with fans as it is like, that's

1122
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 4: not that's not something new for him. He's been doing

1123
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 4: that the whole time, really quick before. I have to

1124
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 4: just mention it though, because we didn't get to it.

1125
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 8: I have to.

1126
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 3: My biggest surprise this year is Sam Donald. Well, yeah,

1127
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 3: so that's next. Do we have time, Yeah, we don't

1128
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 3: have time. We have time. We have literally he is next.

1129
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 5: He is the most surprised Sam Donald.

1130
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,720
Speaker 3: To get to Sam Darnold Vikings who is the most surprising.

1131
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 2: But that huge one over the Packers last weekend, we

1132
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 2: both got that one wrong. I think we both pick

1133
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 2: the Packers oh that game.

1134
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 4: I have been advocating for Sam Darnold for a long time.

1135
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 4: I've been a Sam Donald truther, thinking that he's just

1136
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 4: been dealt some really bad cards.

1137
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 2: Talk about making the most of your opportunity and possibly

1138
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 2: your last chance to have that starting position. I mean,

1139
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 2: do the first four weeks, he's first in passing touchdowns

1140
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 2: and second in passer rating.

1141
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 3: Yes, he's well. Baker Mayfield actually is now tied with

1142
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 3: Sam Donald. But that's we're talking about the first four games.

1143
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:39,760
Speaker 4: You know, Sam Donald is just the We keep seeing

1144
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 4: these examples over and over again of quarterbacks that you

1145
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 4: need a good situation when you bring them into the lead.

1146
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 3: You cannot escape that. There are the exceptions. There are

1147
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 3: the c. J.

1148
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 4: Strouds, there's a Jane Daniels this year where they do

1149
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 4: end up in the situation that they need to to thrive.

1150
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 4: But more often than not, Kevin O'Connell himself said it

1151
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 4: that we fail college quarterbacks coming into the league more

1152
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 4: than they fail us. And it's so true because you're

1153
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 4: seeing guys like Gino Smith who's coming on later, Baker

1154
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 4: Mayfield who comes on with his fourth team. You now

1155
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 4: have Sam Donald doing the same thing because Shart turns

1156
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 4: out shocking coaching matters, it does, and Kevin O'Connell is

1157
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 4: one of the best that the league has to offer.

1158
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 4: We saw it last year when Kirk Cousins went down

1159
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 4: and he was literally playing live action Madden with the

1160
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 4: backups that he had, Josh Doobbs in particular, who had

1161
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 4: gotten there three days prior to having having to essentially

1162
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 4: start a game. He didn't, but Jarren Hall got knocked

1163
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,439
Speaker 4: out with the concussion early on. That was the first

1164
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 4: indication just to how good of a coach Kevin O'Connell is.

1165
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 4: Sam Donald is the latest example of that, and I

1166
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 4: think it's making people really understand and notice how good

1167
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 4: Kevin O'Connell is, how good the tandem of him.

1168
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 3: And Brian Flores are.

1169
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 4: As far as coordinators go or play callers go, I

1170
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 4: don't think there's there's a team that has a better

1171
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 4: situation in offensive and defensive play caller than the Minnesota

1172
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 4: And that's what you're seeing, Like the scheme has married

1173
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 4: up on the defensive side of the ball under Brian

1174
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 4: Flores again for this next year, and then Sam Darnold

1175
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 4: is taking advantage of all.

1176
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 3: Of the talent he has around him.

1177
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 6: By the way, TJ.

1178
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 4: Hockinson hasn't even played yet this year. They activated the

1179
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 4: practice window. He's with the team in London. He's going

1180
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 4: to practice with them. I don't expect him to be

1181
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 4: out on the field yet for them to activate him,

1182
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 4: but he.

1183
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 3: Will be soon.

1184
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 4: And that adds a whole other dimension to this offense

1185
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 4: that's already killing it because Sam Darnald is finally in

1186
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:35,720
Speaker 4: a place that is fostering his development and his growth.

1187
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 4: And I just think that we really need to spend

1188
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 4: a lot of time thinking inwards as to our expectations

1189
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 4: of quarterbacks because the college game and the NFL game

1190
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 4: is so drastically different. It really, I know the eye

1191
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 4: test makes it look similar, it is not not. For

1192
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,800
Speaker 4: a quarterback. It is so much more difficult than we

1193
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 4: give these guys credit for. And we need to be

1194
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 4: able to stick with these guys and develop them, have

1195
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 4: a more realistic expectation of these guys, because then you

1196
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 4: get rewarded with a guy.

1197
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 3: Like Sam Darnold.

1198
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 5: Speaking of that, are you ready to say you're impressed

1199
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 5: yet with Justin Fields? Because I'm gonna keep pumping this up.

1200
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 2: Even in their first loss of the season, Field had

1201
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 2: three touchdowns, one passing, two rushing.

1202
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,959
Speaker 5: Steelers and Justin Fields are first in the AFC North.

1203
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: I just.

1204
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 3: But they're still being led by the defense. Still, that's

1205
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 3: my thing. Isn't a much better He's in a much

1206
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 3: better situation than the chance. He's in a much better situation. Chance,

1207
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 3: He's in a much better situation.

1208
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,760
Speaker 4: He has a better play caller, he has a better coach,

1209
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 4: he has better things around him. He has still not

1210
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 4: won a game for the Steelers. The defense has won

1211
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,879
Speaker 4: these games. The defense, they are a defense forward team.

1212
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 3: That is what they are.

1213
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 5: Got three touchdowns Justin Fields.

1214
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 4: Justin Field has not shown me anything that makes me

1215
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 4: think that he is the quarterback of the future.

1216
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 3: Yet he has done better.

1217
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, I'm just saying impressed. Okay, I No,

1218
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 5: that's the thing is, I'm.

1219
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 3: Not impressed yet.

1220
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 4: You need to show me that you are, like if

1221
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 4: you are going to be a franchise No, it's not personal, Alex.

1222
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 3: This is the thing.

1223
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 4: I want people to hold these guys to the standard

1224
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 4: that we're gonna hold everybody else to. If he is

1225
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 4: a franchise starting quarterback, then we need to put him

1226
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 4: up there.

1227
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 3: With Kirk Cousins. We need to put up in them.

1228
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 4: With Jared Goff, we need to put him up there

1229
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 4: with Matthew Stafford, all of these guys that are really

1230
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 4: good quarterbacks in league. Before I'm going to go out

1231
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 4: there and say impressed, CJ. Stroud, Jada Dato's. At this point, you're.

1232
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 2: Name in like the top half of the tiers of quarterbacks.

1233
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 2: There are different tiers there are.

1234
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 4: But if you want, if you want a franchise guy

1235
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 4: like I'm going to be impressed if he goes out

1236
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 4: there and he shows me that he is the franchise

1237
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 4: guy of the future in Pittsburgh. In order to do that, Yes,

1238
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 4: you need to be compared to those guys.

1239
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna take a quick break here. When

1240
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 2: we come back, we got one more rookie surprise. After

1241
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 2: the break. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Heck yeah,

1242
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Fox Football Saturday. I'm Alex Curry alongside

00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 2: and we're moving to the rookie quarterbacks, all right, and

1261
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 2: we got to start with Some people might say it

1262
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 2: was a surprise, some might not. Jane Daniels, you guys,

1263
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 2: has arrived. The Commanders were my sleeper under the radar

1264
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 2: team this season, but Jayde's starting to look like this

1265
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 2: season's c J.

1266
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 5: Stroud as the rookie standout.

1267
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 2: When all of the focus this offseason, this preseason was

1268
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 2: on Caleb Williams.

1269
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 5: Right now, Jane Daniels, he's showing up.

1270
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 2: He's fourth and passer rating through the first four weeks,

1271
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 2: completion percentage to the first four games, is an eighty

1272
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 2: two point one percent That is the highest completion percentage

1273
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 2: of any player in their first four games of the season.

1274
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 2: But also, like remember, he's he is a top tier

1275
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 2: guys Heisman raining Heisman winner, came from a great program,

1276
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 2: He's working with a former head coach as his OC

1277
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 2: in Cliff Kingsbury. But Carby, what's made him so successful

1278
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 2: so fast?

1279
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 8: Ah?

1280
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 4: I do think a lot of it has to do

1281
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 4: with the fact that I'm not going to go so

1282
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 4: far as to say that Washington is running a college

1283
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 4: offense because they're not. But I think Cliff Kingsbury has

1284
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 4: bridged the gap between the college offense and the pro

1285
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 4: offense very very well.

1286
00:59:58,480 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1287
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 4: And if you look at at things like Jane Daniels's

1288
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 4: average depth of target, so how far he's going down

1289
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 4: the field, he ranks forty first, He's only pushing it

1290
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 4: an average of six point nine.

1291
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 6: Right.

1292
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 4: He's started to open it up a little bit more

1293
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 4: against that game against Arizona as you see him getting

1294
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 4: more comfortable in all of that. But what the Commanders

1295
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 4: and what Cliff Kingsbury did so well with Jane Daniels

1296
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,919
Speaker 4: was ease him in in the beginning part of the season,

1297
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 4: give him those quick throws, give him those easy kind

1298
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 4: of targets, giving him not having to get through a

1299
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 4: bunch of reads or get through his progression to actually

1300
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 4: get rid of the ball, giving him the out.

1301
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:30,439
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1302
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 4: Jane Daniels has also scrambled the most of any quarterback

1303
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 4: this year so far. So he's very good at getting

1304
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 4: himself out of pressure, which cuts down on the sacks,

1305
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 4: cuts down on the negative plays. What is encouraging to

1306
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 4: me because it's not something we saw from him, especially

1307
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 4: as last year at LSU he would scramble and he

1308
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 4: would kind of tuck his head down and run and

1309
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 4: kind of get the extra yardage with his legs.

1310
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1311
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 4: I was very concerned about that coming into the NFL

1312
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 4: because Jane Daniels is not that big of a guy,

1313
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 4: and that doesn't work as well at the NFL level

1314
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 4: because defenses are just more ready for it. What has

1315
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 4: happened now and you've started to see it over the

1316
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 4: last couple of games is Jane Daniels is scrambling, but

1317
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 4: then he is looking for throwing lanes down the field.

1318
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 4: And that is why I am a lot more encouraged

1319
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 4: than I think I otherwise would have been with Jane Daniels.

1320
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:18,479
Speaker 4: I don't think you can call him a surprise given

1321
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 4: that he was the second overall pick.

1322
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he is. Things are being made easy for him.

1323
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 4: You also see him get to the line not have

1324
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 4: to really make all of the different checks and calls

1325
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 4: and things like that, make all those pre snap decisions

1326
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:34,959
Speaker 4: to being taken off his plate by his offensive line.

1327
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 4: They are making things easy for him in Washington, and

1328
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 4: they are easing him into it, and it has gotten

1329
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 4: his confidence. It's not to take it's not meant to

1330
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 4: take away from Jane Daniels because what he is doing

1331
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 4: is excellent. Yes, he is doing exactly what they are

1332
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 4: asking him to do. He is also kind of resisting

1333
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 4: those big backyard football plays that he did make happen.

1334
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 3: In college too.

1335
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 4: I'm very impressed with him, But I'm also impressed with

1336
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 4: the Commander's organization going through this overhaul that they've gone through,

1337
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 4: and the fact that they got the right guy for

1338
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 4: the job in Cliff Kingsbury, who is easing this quarterback in.

1339
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 4: He is developing Jayden and Daniels in real time, and

1340
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 4: that's really all you can ask for. Because the things

1341
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 4: are being made easy for Jayden, and I appreciate that

1342
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 4: the Washington commanders are like competent.

1343
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes or no question here because we gotta we

1344
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 2: got to move on. Do you think the Bears or

1345
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 2: Bears fans regret taking Caleb?

1346
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 4: That's an asinine question. It's been four games and saying

1347
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 4: game that is such a that's that's an outrageous question.

1348
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 5: All right, let's check in with Martin Wise and see

1349
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 5: what's trending.

1350
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 6: A that's great.

1351
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 3: Words are a thing for me. I love wards a thing.

1352
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 3: I'm the Bear today.

1353
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 2: I'm like whatever, like field stuff, and I'm here just

1354
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 2: the CARMI Bear today.

1355
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,600

1360
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 10: that big win over Georgia last week. Georgia is not

1361
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 10: nearly struggling as much as Alabama, as we'll see if

1362
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 10: the criminal taging turned round. But again vandab but with

1363

Speaker 10: a thirteen point lead, and I mean they came out

1431
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:24,000

1432
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 2: went through.

1433
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 9: Definitely an emotional roller coaster. Weird, just a weird series

1434
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 9: to be a part of, to be a fan of. Obviously,

1435
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 9: have so many fond memories of the Tigers and that

1436
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 9: organization and so many players that I know, and top

1437
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 9: to bottom of the organization knows so many people, and

1438
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 9: to play there myself, it's just, you know, you forever

1439
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 9: root for them, and then obviously we'll forever root for family.

1440
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 9: I don't care where he is, I don't care what

1441
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 9: team it is. Well, forever root for my brother and

1442
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 9: his teams. And to have them collide, I don't know,

1443
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 9: it's just weird, you know, Im Yeah, so excited to

1444
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 9: stretch the Tigers are on. They had a point two

1445
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 9: percent chance of making the playoffs a couple of months ago. Yeah,

1446
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 9: and I was just on that ride with them, so

1447
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 9: excited they finally get in and then playoff matchups the

1448
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 9: release and I'm like, you gotta be.

1449
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 2: Kidding me, right right, Okay, Well, let's get to the

1450
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 2: biggest story I think today is Shoho Tani making his

1451
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 2: postseason debut tonight against the Padres.

1452
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 5: He's already made history this season.

1453
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 2: What are you expecting to see him do in his

1454
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 2: first playoff game and just his first playoff series?

1455
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 8: Really?

1456
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I'm expecting to show hey that we've

1457
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 9: all seen over the last few years. And I don't

1458
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 9: think it being his first playoff game is an excuse

1459
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 9: for anything other than that. You know, this is what

1460
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 9: you're paid the big bucks for.

1461
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: You know what.

1462
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 9: What's the old saying, to whom much is given, much

1463
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 9: is expected. And I think, yes, it's his first game.

1464
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 9: I'm sure there's going to be nerves, even if he

1465
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 9: says there's not. But you're paid seven hundred million dollars

1466
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 9: to be the guy and he has to be and

1467
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 9: I think he will be. I expect a lot out

1468
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 9: of him. I think he expects a lot out of himself,

1469
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 9: and I think he was put on earth to be

1470
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 9: a baseball player in the biggest moments and We've seen

1471
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 9: that in the World Baseball Classic, we thought overseas in Japan,

1472
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:16,800
Speaker 9: and I think we'll see it this year.

1473
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 4: Ben, Do you think Otani's going to be the difference

1474
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 4: in the Dodgers maybe getting off to a hot start

1475
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 4: versus the times that they've been the one seed before

1476
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 4: and they've had this break and then it doesn't quite

1477
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 4: they take a while to get going.

1478
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 3: Is show Hey the difference here?

1479
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1480
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 8: You know, you hope.

1481
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 9: So if your Dodgers fans again you have that first

1482
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 9: the first round by and last year between Mookie and

1483
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,679
Speaker 9: Freddie combined, they got one hit in the first round

1484
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 9: and there's still question marks as of right now whether

1485
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 9: Freddy's going to play in this game tonight. So you

1486
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 9: sort of like you're in a position where you need

1487
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 9: you need show Hey to be Showhy because quickly you

1488
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,600
Speaker 9: look and pitching staffs not in the best shape. I

1489
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 9: feel good with Yamamoto and Flaherty going in one and two,

1490
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 9: but you gotta get have to get a good start

1491
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 9: out of him. You're already looking at what's on the table, thinking, man,

1492
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 9: this has to go right, this has to go right,

1493
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 9: and this has to go right. And one of those

1494
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 9: things that can alleviate everything is Shoho Tani. Everything can

1495
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 9: go wrong, but if Shoho Tani is Shoho Tani, it

1496
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 9: doesn't matter. He is enough to win games for you

1497
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:18,680
Speaker 9: on his own.

1498
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 2: Now is Padres Dodgers has turned into a nice little rivalry,

1499
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers knocking out the Padres in twenty twenty

1500
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 2: the Padres knocking out the Dodgers in twenty twenty two.

1501
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 2: Both teams are hot and both dealing with some injuries.

1502
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 2: Who are you taking in the series and in how

1503
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 2: many games?

1504
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a good question, and Alex is going to

1505
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 9: be pissed to me no a lot of Hey, no,

1506
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 9: I've really gone, I've really gone back of.

1507
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 8: Course of this series.

1508
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,480
Speaker 9: And I just I think one I think this matchups

1509
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 9: at the beginning of the playoffs. If you took all

1510
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 9: twelve teams, no matter the league, and just said, what

1511
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 9: is the best possible matchup we can get in the playoffs,

1512
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 9: I think Dodgers Padres is at the top of that list.

1513
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 9: Get Dodgers, Yankees is up there, but I still would

1514
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 9: say Dodgers Padres. Just the way these two teams are

1515
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 9: built for the last few months, I genuinely think this

1516
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 9: series is a toss up. I don't think anybody should

1517
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 9: be favored, and I think all I think, if you're

1518
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 9: the Padres, you have to win one in in LA

1519
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 9: and then you really have the advantage. And I think

1520
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:24,600
Speaker 9: with their bullpen and their depths in the lineup, I

1521
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 9: am taking the Padres and I'm taking it in five games.

1522
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 8: Wow.

1523
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 9: I just look if you were if we were to

1524
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 9: talk who has the better rotation, I think you're taking

1525
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 9: the Padres. If you're saying who has the better bullpen,

1526
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 9: you're definitely taking the Padres. If you're saying who has

1527
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 9: the better lineup, it's really close. I'll give the edge

1528
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 9: to the Dodgers because of Shoe Mooki and Freddy.

1529
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 8: Right.

1530
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 9: The depth in the lineup is probably a little better

1531
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 9: for the Padres, but the top three for the Dodgers

1532
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 9: are good enough to put them over the top. So

1533
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 9: I think it's such a toss up, and I think

1534
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 9: the Padres played really well in Los Angeles. They play

1535
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 9: great lately against the Dodgers, and I'm going to take

1536
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 9: them in a fantastic series. I say, five games.

1537
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 4: Wow, You're You're You're ripping Dodgers Yankees in the world

1538
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 4: series just away from everybody.

1539
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 2: Right in the He's just ripping it away from me

1540
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 2: since our preseason predictions.

1541
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 4: Now I was gonna say so on the other side, now, uh,

1542
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:26,480
Speaker 4: do you think that this is the Yankees like postseason

1543
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 4: to lose?

1544
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 3: Essentially?

1545
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,600
Speaker 4: Do you think that these they are ultimately they're the

1546
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 4: They're the betting favorites to win the World Series, therefore

1547
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 4: the betting favorites to get there out of the AL

1548
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:39,679
Speaker 4: I don't see this being particularly close with the Royals,

1549
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,640
Speaker 4: just given the hitting power between these two teams. But

1550
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 4: what what do you think on the on the AL

1551
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 4: side of things, how easy or hard is this going

1552
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 4: to be for the Yankees to get there?

1553
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 9: I do think their talent on the AL side capable

1554
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 9: of beating the Yankees. So what I will says, if

1555
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,559
Speaker 9: you're the New York Yankees and you do not get

1556
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 9: to the playoffs this year, yeah, the Astros and the

1557
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 9: Orioles were out of the playoffs before you even played

1558
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 9: a game. The only teams in your way are the

1559
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 9: Al Central. If you do not get to the World

1560
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 9: Series this year, as the New York Yankees sold the franchise.

1561
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:17,799
Speaker 3: I mean, it's failure, cool failure.

1562
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 9: I've been hearing about twenty seven rings since I was

1563
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 9: in high school, since I was a junior in high school,

1564
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 9: and it still remains the same. And you're the New

1565
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:29,439
Speaker 9: York Yankees. If you can't at least get to the

1566
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 9: World Series with this pass that they have, head's got

1567
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 9: a role, and I'm not one to call for jobs,

1568
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 9: but I mean it's time for change. If it can't

1569
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 9: get done this year, it is.

1570
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about the other New York team, right,

1571
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 2: because I think that was the other biggest surprise is

1572
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 2: the Mets turning their season around really after Grimas throughout

1573
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 2: that first pitch on June twelfth, and then Pete Alonso

1574
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 2: go ahead home run to send the Mets to the NLDS.

1575
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 5: How impressed have you been with this Mets team?

1576
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:59,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just momentum that you can't really explain. I mean,

1577
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 9: had everything up against them, They had to go to

1578
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:05,839
Speaker 9: Atlanta and then get rained out and then fly to Milwaukee,

1579
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,440
Speaker 9: and then back to Atlanta and then back to Milwaukee

1580
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 9: and then straight to Philadelphia, and it's just like what

1581
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 9: It's almost like they've embraced all the adversity that they've

1582
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:15,799
Speaker 9: had to take.

1583
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 8: On in the last month or so.

1584
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, and there's really no there's really no explaining it.

1585
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 9: I mean they're just riding on vibes and momentum and

1586
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,720
Speaker 9: they're timely hitting and just piecing it together. I mean,

1587
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 9: they started code I singa today. Nobody even knew that

1588
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 9: was going to be a possibility. So they're just like

1589
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 9: they're just riding the hot momentum. And that's the beauty

1590
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 9: of playoff baseball is you could get the best team

1591
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 9: in baseball against the hottest team in baseball. And that's

1592
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 9: really I mean, that's kind of what we're seeing right now.

1593
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 9: I know the Dodgers are really good and the Yankees

1594
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 9: have been good all year and Padres, but like we're

1595
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 9: kind of getting the hottest team in baseball against the best.

1596
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 9: They're close to the best all year long, and I'm

1597
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 9: really I think we're going to get a great series

1598
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:57,719
Speaker 9: here with the Phillies.

1599
01:13:57,760 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 2: The mess Yeah we arey. Now that you're your playoff

1600
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 2: rocket is all blown up? Who do you have the

1601
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 2: World Series?

1602
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 8: All right?

1603
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 9: What was the question I was going with, Ray.

1604
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 2: You're welcome, You're welcome. Who do you have meeting in

1605
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 2: the World Series? Now that your bracket is all blown up.

1606
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 9: I have, so I still I will say one side

1607
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:24,680
Speaker 9: is blown up, the other Phillies is still intact. I'm

1608
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 9: going to take the Phillies, the team that I did

1609
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,760
Speaker 9: pick in spring training to win it all. I'm gonna

1610
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 9: ride it until I can't no more. I'm going to

1611
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 9: take the Phillies on the National League side of things,

1612
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 9: and then I think the Yankees are going to get there.

1613
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 7: I do.

1614
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 9: If you were to tell them at the beginning of

1615
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 9: the year, to get to the World Series, you'll have

1616
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 9: to win a five game series and then a seven

1617
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 9: game series against somebody from the Al Central, they would

1618
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 9: take that in a heart beat. And I think they're

1619
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 9: capable of beating the Royals, and I think they're capable

1620
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 9: of beating the Guardians or Tigers, and so I'll say

1621
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 9: I'll say Phillies Yankees.

1622
01:14:59,280 --> 01:14:59,640
Speaker 8: All right.

1623
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:03,600
Speaker 5: I'm still sticking with my Yankees, Dodgers, Dodgers going on.

1624
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 5: Baby yeah, Box wants it. Thank you so much.

Speaker 11: We have the Vikings, my Minnesota Vikings taking on the

1664
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,600
Speaker 11: Jets in UK and the Vikings are two and a

1665
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:04,599
Speaker 11: half point favorites.

1666
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 3: Alex, our fearless leader.

1667
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 2: I mean, after what we've seen from Sam Donald and

1668
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 2: the Vikings, I can't pick against the Vikings right now.

1669
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 5: I am going Vikings taking this game in London.

1670
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:19,639
Speaker 4: The Minnesota Vikings, I've never lost an International Series game.

1671
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 4: They have won every single time they've.

1672
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 3: Gone away, and I'm not taking no.

1673
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 4: I am rooting for Kevin O'Connell, Brian Flores, Sam Donald,

1674
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson. I'm rooting for all of these guys over

1675
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:34,680
Speaker 4: the New York Jets, where the vibes are.

1676
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:38,719
Speaker 3: Just still pretty bad. The cadence of the offense Minnesota Vikings.

1677
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 11: Ya Darman and I have Vikings ridden in before the

1678
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:41,679
Speaker 11: segment even started.

1679
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 3: I love that. I love the Vikings. Yeah, well, you're

1680
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 3: gonna love this.

1681
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 11: Next game, we have the Baltimore Ravens at two and

1682
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:52,680
Speaker 11: a half point favorites on the road at Cincinnati.

1683
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 3: Carmen taken away.

1684
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 4: As much as I believe in the Ravens and I

1685
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 4: think ultimately they're pretty unstoppable. They're going to go far,

1686
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 4: if not all the way to the super Bowl this year.

1687
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna take the Bengals at home. I

1688
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 4: just think that they're motivated, they're starting to get there

1689
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,640
Speaker 4: a little bit more. I think that they'll have an

1690
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 4: answer for Derek Henry and Lamar Jackson, given that they're

1691
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 4: in the division and they're gonna need one.

1692
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 3: Regardless, I'm gonna take the Bengals.

1693
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna take the Ravens. I mean, they're coming

1694
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:23,640
Speaker 2: off a big win over the Bills. I also got

1695
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 2: that one wrong last week, and I just you know,

1696
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 2: we're rolling with the momentum, rolling with the momentum.

1697
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 11: Well, speaking of momentum, in fact, trying to get momentum back.

1698
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:37,000
Speaker 11: We have our next one. The Buffalo Bills are at

1699
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:39,679
Speaker 11: the Houston Texans. Texans are one point favorite at home.

1700
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 11: Alex how we film, I.

1701
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,600
Speaker 5: This one is such a toss up for me, and.

1702
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the Bills. Josh Allen looking for a

1703
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 2: bounce back game after the lots of the Ravens. I

1704
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 2: know this is the Dig's revenge game, but like Bills

1705
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 2: know how to play against him. Is kind of like

1706
01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:58,560
Speaker 2: what I'm leaning towards and going with.

1707
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 5: I don't know this one. It can really go either way,

1708
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:02,639
Speaker 5: but I'm taking the Bills.

1709
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 4: You're gonna need to shut down Nico Collins. I feel

1710
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:06,920
Speaker 4: like more than anything else the Texans. I'm also going

1711
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 4: the Bills though, just because I think that experience wins

1712
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:11,639
Speaker 4: out here. And like I said, it was a hard

1713
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 4: fut game against the Ravens, and I just think that

1714
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 4: the Bills are going to bounce right back because they

1715
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:17,880
Speaker 4: keep surprising us right well.

1716
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 11: Speaking of surprises, Carmen, the Packers had almost a surprise

1717
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 11: last week, but here's not a surprise. They are three

1718
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 11: point favorites on the road against the Los Angeles Rams. Carmen,

1719
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 11: take it away and tell me why it's the Packers.

1720
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:33,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's the Packers.

1721
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 4: I'm taking the Packers just because again, this Rams team

1722
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 4: is still fighting through a bunch of injuries, and what

1723
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 4: this Packers team does really well is take the ball away.

1724
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be very interesting to see them go

1725
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 4: against Matt Stafford who gets the ball out very quickly.

1726
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 4: Can they increase those turnovers? I think they still can.

1727
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 4: Can they get pressure? That's gonna be the biggest question

1728
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:54,800
Speaker 4: mark here, But I'm going to take the Packers.

1729
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 2: I am also taking the Packers now that Jordan Love

1730
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 2: has that kind of first game back under his belt,

1731
01:19:58,439 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 2: He's only going to get better.

1732
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:00,760
Speaker 5: Let's get to this on one, all.

1733
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 6: Right, Final one.

1734
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 11: We got the Cowboys at Steelers. Steelers two and a

1735
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:06,480
Speaker 11: half point favorites, Alex.

1736
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 3: Are we going Jerry's world or not?

1737
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 2: I am running with Justin Fields and the Steelers Cowboys

1738
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 2: are dealing with a lot of injuries, including Michael Parsons.

1739
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 5: Ow I just yeah, Steelers, baby.
