Dodgers handled the Rays eight 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:30.760 three mookie bets with a nice night and Clayton Kershaw 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:34.440 as well. Game two coming up tonight to a Tonga 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.920 Bayoloa named the Dolphins starter. That happened in the final 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:41.640 fifteen minutes of the show, and we'll dive into those topics. 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.000 Coming up. Bruce Arians, the Tampa Bay head coach, will 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.160 join us. Coming up in a little bit, we'll check 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.440 in with the Cowboys. We've got some drama. We'll check 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.760 in with the Dolphins as well, and we'll recap what 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.040 happened Game one of the World Series and look ahead 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.840 to Game two. Sometimes it's good to remember narratives in 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.280 legacy are not written in ink. Sometimes they're written in pencil. 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.280 And over the years, we know Clayton Kershaw has struggled 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:10.000 in the postseason, but he's gradually improving. Last night he 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.840 appeared to put his World Series struggles behind him, at 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.160 least for the moment, as he gave the Dodgers six 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.759 strong innings eight three win over the Rays, and it's 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.919 good to see Kershaw be the Kershaw the regular season. 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:23.800 He did give up a solo home run in the fifth. 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.320 I thought, if you got five innings out of him, 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.600 five solid innings, just give him that confidence to send 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.520 him into that next start that he's going to have. 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.680 He struck out eight. He fooled the Tampa batters all 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.640 night long. It helped that the Dodgers gave him some 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.480 offensive support so he could be a little bit more aggressive. 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:42.800 You know. It wasn't one of those one run games 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:44.959 where you get a little too cute there and then 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.640 you get burned. But last night we saw Clayton Kershaw, 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.040 not a watered down version. And depending on how long 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:55.240 this series go, we'll see Kershaw again and he can 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.920 continue to rewrite his postseason legacy or at least give 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.720 us a couple of new chapters there, which was good 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:06.480 to see here is the manager Dave Roberts on Kershaw 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.240 being pulled in the sixth inning. I mean, you just 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.840 figure he's gonna be on regular for his next start. 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.040 So you got an eight one lead and you know 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:15.600 with nine outs ago, we got to be able to 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.519 protect it. Here is Clayton Kershaw talking about last night's victory. 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.680 It's great to get this series going with a win. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.320 You know, it's the biggest thing, you know, for us 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.680 is to get going, get that first game. It's always 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.440 important to get that first game of the series. And 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.040 just for me personally, it's awesome. You know, we get 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:31.720 to pitch well, I'm gonna win in the World Series. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.680 Like I said, I'm just thankful for another opportunity. Yeah, 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.280 and that went perfect for the Dodgers. You got their 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.919 big time players starting out well. Kershaw pitched well. You 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:45.040 didn't want to burn the bullpen. And you know, this 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.560 is a Tampa roster that is probably the deepest pitching staff. 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:50.800 I thought. The reason why I picked Tampa to go 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.200 to the World Series is because how deep their pitching 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.919 staff was. The reason why I had the Dodgers going 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.280 to the World Series in winning is because of their offense. 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.040 Any kind of good pitching that the Dodgers can give 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.840 you consistent pitching to go along with that hitting. Although 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.680 the bats haven't been great the last series, Corey Seeger 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.280 was the big bat. I you know, I love that 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.280 people are seeing Mookie Bets. I told you a couple 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.880 of years ago he was one of the few players 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.720 that I would pay to see when he was in 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.120 Boston and he had a breakout game. He's had a 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.960 couple of great moments. He's a wonderful outfielder. And he 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.560 had the audacity to steal a bass last night. Nick 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.080 Loven the what are the analytics think about that? Giving 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:34.200 away runs? Yeah, he's stole a bass last night. Oh 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.320 and that made the difference in an eight three game. Well, 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.120 John Smoltz did say, sometimes you shake up the picture 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.320 when you start to steal basses. I don't know that's 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.160 John Smolts, who is a Hall of Famer mclovin. Yeah, 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.800 but I don't see John Smolts running any teams in 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.000 the world. So I see him announced. He's a great announcer, 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.240 but I don't see him GMing anybody anywhere. I think 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.840 John Smolts has more posh season stolen bases than any 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.160 picture in history. He's got three, so he is a 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.360 little bit of an expert there. But you know there 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.000 there are children watching the game last night that they 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.080 probably said to their parents, what was that? Well that 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.000 that's called a stolen base, Jimmy, Well, you're right. He's 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:16.840 a game started at eight and what time did it end? 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.800 Was at three forty five in the morning. I can't 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.520 even remember it still going on. Now, Well, that's because 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.279 everybody's up there. You know, they want to swing and 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.680 hit home runs or they strike count. Oh so, guy, 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.160 you have a Ricky Henderson on first base. There's nine 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.960 throws over there. That's not exactly speeding up the game. Well, 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.960 why throw over there if nobody's stealing. That's what I'm saying. 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:37.800 If you go back to stolen bases, it's going to 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.280 get even while your games, they're gonna throw over to first. 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.360 That's the most boring play in sports.

Do you have a poll question today? 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.560 I have some options. All right, Okay, if Clayton Kershaw 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.839 loses his next game, will we all go back to 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.680 talking about his postseason? Fairly? Well? How how is he 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.800 going to lose? Say he really falls apart, knowing how 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.400 we are as like media in a country, Well, well 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.359 we just go right back to it. Are we done? 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.000 Probably about it? No, I think it'll still be there. 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.240 I think it's it's usually it feels like it's always 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:30.039 one start away from coming back with Clayton Kershaw. It's 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:34.440 not fair, maybe, but it's the reality. And the reason 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.560 is if you juxtapose the postseason to the regular season, 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.800 he's one hundred games over five hundred in the regular season. 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.440 He's one of the great all time great pitchers. But 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.320 it's just you get to the postseason and he's had 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.080 these innings, he's had one or two innings and that 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.720 decides how you know his fate that he can be 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.880 really good, and then it's one inning that trips him up. 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:01.839 And he gave up the home run last night, and 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.839 I just said, get through five and then that's it, 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.200 because I, even I don't care how good you are, 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.080 you can lose your confidence. And then you get into 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:12.800 the sixth inning and I'm like, Okay, if he gets 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.560 through this, now I know then he's not going to 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.880 be pitching anymore. Now you get the confidence and you're 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.359 answering a different type of question after the game, which 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.920 is really important, certainly for Kershaw, because if you go 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:31.120 what happened? You know you you you know you bombed, 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.000 you got blown up, you know they roughed you up. Well, 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.640 what happened? Now you get somebody who's saying, wow, they 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.040 were swinging and missing, like what were you doing? Differently, 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.239 now you're asking him something where he can be proud 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.320 of what his answer is going to be, not trying 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.760 to explain something that might not be explainable. Yeah, McClelland 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.520 when PAULI said out of text last night to the 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.360 group saying would you have pulled him after the fifth inning? 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.960 And Todd, with a great answer, said well, if he 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:56.839 lets up a couple of walks and hits, then I'd 0:06:56.839 --> 0:07:00.240 pull him. Thank you Todd. One or the other like 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.640 I was, yeah, you can't say, well, if he does this, 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.360 then i'd play should have got to the point said yeah, 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.400 I would start him the sixth inning, But I elaborated 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:08.960 and said when I would take him out during this 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.000 I had a good dig at him. I said, if 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.080 they walked to baseloaded, lets up a grand slam, then 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:14.720 I'd give him another batter or two and see where 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.240 he is. Shouldn't they have pulled him after five like 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.240 last night? I think we were pretty torn even to 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.600 give him that sixth inning. I just knew what I had. 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.320 I was fine with that, and I think Kershaw would 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.040 have been fine with that. Dave Roberts would have been 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.040 fine with that. But if you're Kershaw and your manager 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.800 sends you out for the sixth inning, that kind of 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.840 emboldens you a little bit, like, Okay, you know, Skips 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.040 still got confidence in me there. And plus you know, 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.320 you score a couple of runs and you're you're more aggressive. 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.600 You're not worried. Boy, if I give up one big hit, 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.200 we could lose this game. He was able to go 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.760 at Tampa. Tampa is not good at getting on base. 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:56.040 They're not an on base team on base percentage. And 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.760 you know, if Kershaw can make sure that you don't 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.400 walk guys that way. If they do hit a home run, 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.720 it's a solo home run. Yes to. They're the first 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.160 team to get all the way to the World Series 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.800 and not be good at getting base Runners's vin big wiz. 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.640 That's me being cute. Just now. Rais don't really score 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.400 and they don't play baseball well. But there are four 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.720 games away from big World Chips. That's not really why 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.720 I raised my hand. I've raised my hand wondering if 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.000 you were worried where curse I gave up the home 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.320 run and he zoom gun on him and he looked 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.920 up at the skylet God please. Well, of course I am. Yes, 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.240 I would have been worried. Your first comment was way 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.119 better than yeah. I would have stayed with that. I raised, 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.240 don't get on base they just can't score. Yeah, when 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.560 you go back to being serious and asking a question, 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.640 that's not any good. How about those doritos locos tacos? 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.959 Todd comes in first, right to it, the first thing 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.600 he says. So he comes in, we're just sitting around, 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.360 we're getting ready for a morning meeting, and he goes 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.760 man Joe buck boy. I got tired of him talking 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:52.320 about those tacos and I go. So that's what you 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.360 took away from the game last night. I love Joe Buck. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.160 I'm just wondering if there's someone constantly in his ears saying, 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:57.520 I know, we got to pay the bills. Well, here's 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.319 the Hall of Famer John Small. It's just like he goes, 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.480 he's the Hall of Famer, Troy. I'm Joe Buck. Someone's 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.360 getting tacos tonight. And if they get a double steel 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.120 here with Mookie, I'm wondering if it's I don't want 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.160 to get legally in trouble. I think it's twice as 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.680 many tacos for everybody. On October twenty eight, Yes, so 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.319 Joe Buck was in a position where there was a 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.320 steel I think an ending three. And once that steel happens, 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.319 he's got to announce that taco bell has given away 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.400 at De Rito's Locos to at all their sites on 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.240 October twenty second row. But then they called it a 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.280 wild pitch and removed the steel. So we need to 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.520 retract his taco offer. And you know, even you know, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.839 everyone was upset. Smaltz was upset, the Meerica was upset, 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:32.880 and then he then he there's a steel, oh, I know, 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.920 And then Todd was upset, like you, this somehow really 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.000 bothered Muns. He fouls it off and he's got a 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.520 Mookie's got to go back to second base. No taco yet. 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.880 It's ironic because Todd loves fast food, but just not 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.160 go to Taco Bell. He don't. I go everywhere else 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.360 you could possibly imagine, but I really don't do the 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.559 Taco Bell, del Taco anything. What other poll questions are 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.720 we considering? Okay, Polly put out there was it the 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.640 right time now for the Dolphins to bench Ryan Fitzpatrick 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.120 for Tua? Was the right decision? Yes? Or no? Okay, 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.079 you can't wait for the results. We can't wait like 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.360 five weeks and go yeah, I told you it was 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.960 the right move, or I told you they stayed with 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:14.680 fitz Magic. I understand why they made the move. I 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.280 just want to know if he's healthy. If you say 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.520 he's healthy, then this is the right move. And I'm 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:24.160 assuming he is one healthy because I thought Week eleven 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:25.880 was when they were going to put him in the 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.880 starting lineup. That was their bye week. I think the 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:33.880 Dolphins internally probably thought the same thing. Let's let Fitzpatrick 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.360 get us through the bulk of the season Week eleven, 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.240 we put two in. Maybe we're you know, in line 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.760 for a playoff spot, maybe we're not, but I want 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.199 to make sure he's healthy. And I think the Dolphins 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:50.280 putting him in against the Jets last week opened my 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:55.040 eyes to Okay, he is ready to play. And you know, 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:59.200 Fitzpatrick and we've seen him have some pretty incredible games, 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.360 but he is right now a placeholder and he knows that, 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.280 and I think that and nobody was more excited, you know, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.800 when Twa came in than Fitzpatrick, even when he had 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.840 his first completion. So he knows it. And it's similar 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.080 to Kurt Warner when he was with the Jets with Eli, 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.480 they were I think a five and four team and 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.360 Eli got inserted into the starting lineup and then that 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.719 was it. Kurt Warnerd's starting days were done and then 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.599 he ended up landing with Arizona to finish up with 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.280 a Hall of Fame career. But you know, Fitzpatrick knows 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:34.160 what his job is. I'd keep him there. I wouldn't 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.760 trade him. People say, well, what could you get for Fitzpatrick. 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:41.000 I don't know, like Dallas is going to trade for Fitzpatrick. 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:46.760 I don't think so, but I don't know. I didn't 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.960 know there was a market for him. The teams that 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.680 are good are fine with their quarterbacks. The teams that 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.800 are bad want to continue to be bad. I think 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.160 I don't know if Fitzpatrick coming in is going to 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:01.160 change anything, but I want him there to mentor tah Yeah, McLevin. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.360 I think a team that has a young, injury prone 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.240 quarterback would want if Fitzpatrick like the Dolphin like, they 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.280 would want him more than anywhere. Right. How confident are 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:11.800 you into his hip? I know you were kind of 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.000 filling that closely over the office. I don't know anything. 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.720 I just know it's been eleven months. I just don't know. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:23.360 I'm hoping that he's ready to go. I assume he's 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.480 ready to go. There's no need to force him into 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:29.320 the lineup. But I also think, what if Fitzpatrick had 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.760 won two or three more games in a row? Can 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.000 I bring twoa in then? I mean they won back 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:40.400 to back games, they had blowouts, and you know they 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:45.240 nearly beat Seattle in Seattle with Fitzpatrick, they have a 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.600 young nucleus, they have talent there, and this is the 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.400 final piece there for them. You're gonna bring two in 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.000 and now you get ready to go because now you 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.680 build a super Bowl lineup that now you go after 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.120 a super Bowl with your roster. But you know, we don't. 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.640 I just don't know how healthy is. I'm assuming everything 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.880 is great, hope it is. Look forward to seeing him 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.080 play and looking at the schedule here, they do have 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.120 the Rams coming up. Now he does have the bye 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.560 week and that changed everything because they had to change 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.760 the bye week for them, and now it's this week. 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.200 So he's got thirteen days to prepare for the Rams. 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.040 And then he's got the Jets in there, He's got 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:23.760 the Bengals in there. I mean, he's got a couple 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:28.360 of games that aren't you know, but this is going 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:33.360 to be intimidating or and there's no fans, so I mean, yeah, sure, 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:35.800 why not throw him in there. Let's see what he 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.760 can do. And I would I would let him ride 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.440 this out too, because he's going to struggle a little bit. 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.280 But now leave him in there as long as he's 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:48.640 healthy and he'll have his growing pains there. But that's 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.600 a big move, especially after a couple of wins. If 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.760 you would have said this quarterback just got benched and 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.680 he's healthy and they're coming off a couple of wins. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:03.400 I wouldn't have thought fitzpat. But you know, I should 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:04.920 have opened my eyes a little bit more when I 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:06.959 saw two A come into that game against the Jets 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.080 and he was throwing a couple of passes in a 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.400 game that was a blowout. They let him throw a 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.760 couple of passes, which told me a little bit more 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:17.320 about they want to see And now I guess they've 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.760 seen enough and they're gonna put him in the line up. Yeah, McLevin. 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.880 Would you have been shocked if the news yesterday was 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.720 Carson Wentz was bench for Jalen Hurts a little bit? 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.800 But I just don't know if I want to throw 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:30.520 Jalen Hurts into a situation where the offensive line is 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.280 not very good and I'm putting a rookie in there. 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:39.200 I mean, Carson Wentz is still a good quarterback. I 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.960 know people are like, oh, I'd get rid of Carson Wentz. 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.040 I'd put Jalen Hurts in there. Jalen Hurts is a rookie. 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.360 People didn't even know if Jalen Hurts would get drafted 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:53.080 when he got benched for two in Alabama and then 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.600 he surfaced at Oklahoma. I remember talking to a scout 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.800 who said he's not going to get drafted first day 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.280 for sure, probably not second day. Then all of a sudden, 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.200 it's Jalen Hurts might be a first round quarterback. He 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:08.880 goes in the second round, and we got all the 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.440 Eagles got to steal. I don't know how good Jalen 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.280 Hurts is. I know how good Carson Wentz can be, 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.320 but that offensive line is terrible due to all the 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.840 injuries there. I don't want a rookie in there, even 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.960 if he's faster than Carson Wentz. Yes, mcclu well, you 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.600 know this, Philadelphia Eagles fans hate no one more than 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:30.960 their starting quarter no matter who it is, y McNab, Jaworski, Randall, 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.680 They've hated every single one of them. Yeah, yeah, Paul, 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.160 maybe you bench Carson Wentz to make him likable again. 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.080 You know, if he's on the bench for a few weeks, 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.040 you'll lose a few games. Then they'll be calling for 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.160 Carson Wentzon. They'll miss him. All right. We'll settle on 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.360 a poll question, Play of the day, stat of the Day. 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.680 Phone calls are always welcome. H seven seven three d 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.920 P Show we'll check in with the Tampa Bay head coach, 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.280 Bruce Arians he'll join us coming up next.

I know it's not in vogue to steal basses, 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:31.760 but Mookie bets last night he stole two basses in 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.720 the same inning. The last time that happened in a 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:39.119 World Series, Babe Ruth did it in nineteen twenty one. 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.960 So Mookie is the second player in World Series history 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.719 with a walk multiple stolen bases in an inning, joining 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.480 Babe Ruth. If I gave you over under one hundred 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:54.280 stolen bases for their career, Babe Ruth, anybody going over 0:17:55.880 --> 0:18:01.120 mclovin is one hundred and ten stolen bases for Babe Ruth. 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.760 How's that bossing him? Yeah? He was also caught one 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.320 hundred and seventeen times, so I was gonna guess he 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:10.000 had about eleven stolen basis. Uh, And you know what happened. 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.800 I think they started keeping stolen bases in nineteen twenty one, 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.399 but I think before that, bab I thought he had 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.800 one twenty seven for his career. But yeah, you know 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:19.480 he's still They're not going to take him out of 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.120 the Hall of Fame. Bruce Arians joining his Tampa Bay 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:26.080 head coach. You know what, my staff didn't realize how 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:30.760 great a running quarterback you were in college. Do you 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.040 do your players know? I think you had eleven touchdowns 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.960 one year, didn't you. Yeah, the record held for a 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.080 long time, and then Gerard Evans beat a big Bay 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:42.760 fifteen games on. There's an asterisk on it. How was 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.920 your arm? I was very averaging when I when we're 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.560 a passing team, I was a running cornerback. We're a 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:53.000 running team out the beast. Does it help you look 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:57.920 at the offense differently having played the position, Oh totally, yeah, 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.520 they having played in so many different offenses in college, 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:03.440 you know, had the pleasure playing for Dan Henning and 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:05.679 when Don Struck led the nation in passing has his 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:09.800 backup and then running the wishbone. So I saw two 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:11.960 totally sides, different sides of the game when I was 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.600 playing Who is your favorite quarterback? Growing up, Johnny Unitas 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.760 Baltimore Cults were my team. Did you ever meet him? 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.760 I did. They came and played a basketball game against 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.120 a radio station, and we were like the preliminary game, 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.840 and we dressed in the same locker room. So I 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:32.880 put his trench coat on it. They left. I put 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:34.960 his trench coat on his hat. At that time, he 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.439 had had a commercial for a deodor and so I 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.280 was walking around a longer room with his goat on. 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:43.240 What struck me when I met him was that he 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.920 wasn't tall, because you know, growing up, when you saw 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.959 like when I met Jack Nicholas, I thought the Golden 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:54.119 Bears like six two sixty three. Johnny Uniteds was like 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:58.560 five eleven. It felt like maybe six feet. It wasn't 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:04.840 guys let him Moore, Mike Curtis something everybody in the 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:08.120
