21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: of the week in the NFL coming up in about

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: twenty minutes.

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 3: But I mean we already talked about the Jets.

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that Jets Cowboys game. Man, I've touched

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: so many points in that game, so many points, so

26
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: many points. It's you know, look that that's the power

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: of the league. And that's where Hey, a team that's one,

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: two and one of the team that O wined for. Hey,

29
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: we got to make sure we keep an eye on

30
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: out one.

31
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 3: That's that's the Cowboy and the Vikings have stayed in Europe,

32
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: Dublin last week. They're playing in London this Sunday morning

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: against the Browns. We say, maybe the best. By the

34
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 3: way the Browns are playing overseas, they.

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: May never be allowed to come back. I don't know

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: that they're like maybe this is the excuse.

37
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: Just trick them, send them out and then they'll never

38
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: get back.

39
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: And I'm also wondering if this game was in the

40
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: United States, would the Browns have gone to Dylan Gabriel, Like,

41
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: would they have gone to Gabriel? You know, if it

42
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: was still in the United maybe.

43
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: Because it's a road game technically yeah yeah yeah, but

44
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: there's a road game, then there's a road Oh yeah,

45
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: this is like out of the code game.

46
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really wonder if that would have happened, Like, hey,

47
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: you know what, we're away, We're not gonna you know,

48
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: Dylan's gonna be able to get in and focus as

49
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: much as he can on football, because while yes, him

50
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: starting is a big deal, nobody knows who the hell

51
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 1: he is, Nobody knows about the draw, nobody cares about

52
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: then at the pro level, no Browns quarterback nat This

53
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: is the week to get him going. Like I wonder

54
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: if Flacco would have had another week or so if

55
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: they were still playing in the United States. I really

56
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: wonder if they would.

57
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: But this does give you options. You know, he can

58
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 3: roll out, he can run, He's much younger than Flacco,

59
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: and the offense has been scoring fourteen points a game

60
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: in Cleveland.

61
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't score another fourteen this week. I mean,

62
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: you have great confidence, but that's Dylan gabs. I think

63
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabers will work. Not that I think the Vikings

64
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: are gonna suddenly start lighting it up, but uh yeah,

65
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: I more confidence that the Vikings and their playmakers will

66
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: have enough to get it done here.

67
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: And Vikings are gonna be without two or three linemen.

68
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 3: It's kind of like Dallas. This weekend.

69
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I have I kind of have a sneaking suspicion.

70
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: I like the in Fantasy. I like playing the Vikings

71
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: defense overseas. I I kind of like that. I kind

72
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: of like, Yeah, I kind of like that. Yeah, I

73
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: mean they might. They might finish with the most points

74
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: of any of anybody in Fantasy this week. The Vikings

75
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: defense stick they had forty last a couple of weeks ago.

76
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: They might do it again. But again, we'll take a

77
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: look at the two biggest games on the NFL schedule

78
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: coming up in about twenty minutes, but we are less

79
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: than twenty four hours away from the beginning of the

80
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball PLAYOSS. We'll get to the big controversy

81
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: involved in the Yankees in a second, but I promise

82
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: is Luio. The other night when we talked about the

83
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: Dodgers knocking off the Reds, a couple are really really

84
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: big concerns. Right. Their bullpen is absolutely terrible, and their

85
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: defense is not.

86
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: Good, right the test special defense.

87
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: Yet it's it's it's not strong. And and you got

88
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: by in that round because it was the Reds and

89
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: the Reds are bad and you hit the baseball. But

90
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: this is not a team that is going to win

91
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: games by flash and leather. It's not. They are weak

92
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: and a lot of positions and so yeah, as good

93
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: as they are, this is a team where I can say, hey,

94
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: the bullpen's gonna have a lot to say. The defense

95
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: is not good, and you know, a bad play defensively

96
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: is what sends you home when you get to this

97
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: level of the playoffs. But the flip side of it

98
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: is this, right, all of this all so, Jason, you're

99
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: dooming gloom. The Dodgers aren't gonna win. You think the Dodger.

100
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: The one thing I will say, and this is this

101
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: is the great equalizer. Nobody hits the baseball like the Dodgers.

102
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: And you look at every other team that has played

103
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, that played in the first round, they

104
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: all had trouble putting runs across the board. Everybody did.

105
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: Some had more than others. If a team scored four

106
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: runs in a game and they were lighting up the scoreboard, it's,

107
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's four runs. We're gonna win this game.

108
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: It's like it's twelve nothing. The Dodgers come out in

109
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: two games and they very feeling almost feeling like it

110
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: was like it was a regular season end of the

111
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: year game, and they put up ten eight but without

112
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: even trying, like they just and they hit home runs,

113
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: and they hit off of good pitchers. On Green shows

114
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: up and it's what happened. I was so good for

115
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: the entire season. I show up here and I'm out

116
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: of the game. My season's over in the second inning.

117
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: The Dodgers. Nobody hits the baseball like they do. Not

118
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: the Phillies, not the Yankees. You know, the teams that

119
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: we didn't play so far, We're gonna see them again.

120
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna see the marriage Toronto.

121
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: I would add that they were the only team batting

122
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 3: average over two sixties. So George Springer's been white hot,

123
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: and they have Guerrero Junior, so they have something in

124
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: the Toronto lineup. And certainly the Yankees have power.

125
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh oh, the Yankees. Look, you're looking for home runs,

126
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: the Yankees can get them for you. The Blue Jays

127
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: have it to a level, but nobody hits the baseball

128
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: with the confidence level with the ability of the Dodgers.

129
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: And look, Will Smith could be on his way as well.

130
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 3: He's available to catch time, and he didn't play, not

131
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: just the past week he hasn't played in four weeks.

132
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this guy who was the best hitting

133
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: catcher in baseball, you know, up until he got hurt,

134
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: and he's been an All Star for the last few

135
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: years like that. That's the one thing. If the Dodgers

136
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: win the World Series this year. Last year it was

137
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: they were the best all around team. They added sho

138
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: heey O Tani, their starting pitching was good enough, their

139
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: bullpen was terrific, they hit the baseball, they they got

140
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: stuff from unhralded players like Tommy Edmund. But this year,

141
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: if they're gonna win, they are gonna mash their way

142
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: to the World Series. There's no other way there. They're

143
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: not gonna suddenly show up and wow, look at this.

144
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: Look at this Dodger rotation keeping everybody off the scoreboard. Yeah, no,

145
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: not happening. It's gonna be games with the Phillies. They're

146
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to win nine to eight and eleven, nine

147
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: and eight seven, Like this is how they're gonna win.

148
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: They are gonna win mashing their way to the World

149
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: Series because it's the only way they can. Because you're

150
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: not fixing the bullpen. You figure out the ninth inning

151
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: in theory with Broki Sasaki. Okay, that's great, but you

152
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: are you are not getting there any other way than

153
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: scoring a ton of runs every game. And the good

154
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: news for them is they're hitting the baseball with no problem.

155
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: That's the only team hitting the baseball with no problem

156
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: so far.

157
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: I wouldn't recommend a one run lead to the late

158
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: innings for the Dodgers, you know, I mean.

159
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: Like they get up nine or nine to nothing or

160
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: eleven nothing and hold on to win eleven nine or

161
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: nine eight. Yeah.

162
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 3: Well, it was the Phillies that had that legendary comeback

163
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 3: at Dodger Stadium years ago, where what it was at

164
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: twelve to one or something like that, that think of

165
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: fifteen to two, and they came back and wound up winning.

166
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: There is on the mound the Slugger Show. Hey Otani

167
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: pitching in Game one at Philly tomorrow. Let's just say

168
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 3: this in advance. I mentioned this during the regular season

169
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: when Otani has been on the mound as a pitcher,

170
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: and you know, they have that pitch com instead of

171
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: actually the catcher putting down different fingers for the signs.

172
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: Otani has always had to and this is in a

173
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 3: normal game in July or August had to cover up

174
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: his ear with his glove to be able to hear

175
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: the pitch com properly. And that includes at home games.

176
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: What's going to happen at Philadelphia tomorrow, That's going to

177
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: be something I'm looking at in inning one of Game

178
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: one of this best of five. By the way, the

179
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: great Sarah Langs baseball researcher points out that we've got

180
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: Otani with fifty five homers this year, Kyle Schwarber the

181
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 3: Phils fifty six homers. So it's the first time multiple

182
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: players with at least fifty five in a season have

183
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: made the postseason the same year. And we haven't mentioned

184
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: Cal Rawley's going to be playing for Seattle tomorrow, but

185
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: we assume Shoe Otani's gonna both pitch and lead off

186
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: in the batting order. He would be the first starting

187
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: pitcher ever to lead off in a postseason game, because

188
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: no starter has hit anywhere in the order except eight

189
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: or nine in a playoff game except for Babe Ruth,

190
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: once batted sixth and pitched for Boston in nineteen eighteen.

191
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: So we're gonna get a little history tomorrow. But again,

192
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 3: it is two games in Philly the better team in

193
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: the regular season, and if there's Game five, it's back

194
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: at Philly the next Saturday.

195
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: Now there's Dodgers Phillies. How about Yankees Blue Jays? The

196
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: controversy you didn't know you wanted, but we're getting it

197
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: was in August when the Yankees were playing a series,

198
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, it was in early September when right

199
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: after the Yanks, right after the Yankees visited. And look,

200
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays won the division series against the Yankees.

201
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: The Blue Jays were eight and five against them overall,

202
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: they were six and one in Toronto. They had just

203
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: beaten them. And so the Blue Jays and the Astros

204
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: are play in a series. And in early September, former

205
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: MLBT major leaguer and manager Buck Martinez, who was the

206
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: Blue Jays TV analyst, had some very pointed things to

207
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: say about the Yankees, saying, quote the Yankees, they're not

208
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: a good team. I don't care what their record is. Okay,

209
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: clip and save that and see if these teams play

210
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: again the rest of the season. Well, fast forward now

211
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: a few weeks and here the Yankees getting ready to

212
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: take on the Blue Jays and Aaron Boone Yankee manager

213
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: had some thoughts on Buck Martinez's words, and here he

214
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: was talking about it earlier today.

215
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 4: I feel like, you know, obviously the last couple of

216
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 4: months really started to play really well, and you know,

217
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 4: contrary to some thoughts up here, we're really good team.

218
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: Is that's all?

219
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 5: That's been a theme I guess, you know around the.

220
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: Team of feeling that way. What's that?

221
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 5: That's only that you kind of stressed the team. But

222
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 5: both you say, contrary to the thoughts up here. Oh,

223
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 5: I know, I know Buck had some thoughts. That's all

224
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 5: ours responded to.

225
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: So he's wrong, but it doesn't matter. We got to

226
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 4: go play and we got to go perform as as

227
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 4: everyone does at this time of years.

228
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: No, he had some thoughts, Jason, and he went on

229
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 3: to say that night, Buck Martinez, the Yankees have a

230
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 3: lot of wild pitches, They make a lot of mistakes

231
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 3: in the field. They don't run the bases very well.

232
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 3: If they don't hit home runs, they don't have a

233
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: chance to win. End quote. And this followed the month before.

234
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: Remember the Yankee announcer Michael k talking about on his show,

235
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: I know the Blue Jays are in for there are

236
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: in a first place team they are not, you know,

237
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: And so this has gone back and forth in the summer.

238
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, and you could tell Aaron Booz oh it

239
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, No, clearly it does. I know Buck had

240
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: some thoughts in all of this. And first of all,

241
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: let me say this, I get it because Aaron Boone

242
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: has had to listen for the narrative the last twelve

243
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: and a half months of the Yankees are a bad team. Fundamentally,

244
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: they're bad. They run the bases like little leaguers. All

245
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: the errors in the World Series, all the mistakes they made.

246
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: And this is on the coaches, right when a team

247
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: plays like that, that's on the coach. Hey, why do

248
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: they play this way? Many? How do they play that?

249
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: And Aaron Boone has had to listen to that, and

250
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: it's been shots at him for the better part of

251
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: the last year. And this is why, like every like,

252
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: I feel like he gets so close to getting fired.

253
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: And yet somehow they pull it out of the fire

254
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: and they win a couple of games in a row,

255
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: and here they are again, and Aaron Boone is able

256
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: to survive. But you could tell it has really bothered

257
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: him that this is the narrative around the Yankees that

258
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: fundamentally they're bad, They're embarrassing. They play they they play

259
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: the game in a way that I can't believe they

260
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: succeed the way they do. You've got players around the

261
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: league say it.

262
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 3: Now.

263
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: You have Buck Martinez say I'm telling not afraid to

264
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: say it on television about the Yankees. And I get

265
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: that Aaron Boone is really mad going into this because

266
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: this has been a narrative that he's had to deal

267
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: with now for over a year, ever since the World Series.

268
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: And we brought it up on this show. The irony

269
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: is the Dodgers said after the fact, after they clinched

270
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 3: against all those Yankee mistakes in Game five of the

271
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 3: World Series last year. We knew we could count on

272
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 3: that from the Yankees. We knew from our scouting that

273
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 3: that was going to come up, and it sure did.

274
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: The irony is the Dodger outfield has become that team

275
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: this year, which you referenced earlier. There's no confidence at

276
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: all in the Dodgers defensively. And I think you need

277
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: look no further than the guy who usually man center field,

278
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: who is from Cuba, like Yasi Opuig, We're from Cuba,

279
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: Andy Pat has too often plays like Yasio Puig. He

280
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: can be spectacular, he can have power, and sometimes there's

281
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 3: just head scratching moments like wow, is this a same

282
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: seventeen year old out in the outfit? How did this

283
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: happen in a major League game? So hopefully one of

284
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: those won't happen. The negative for Toronto going into this

285
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 3: Yankee series that starts tomorrow is their pitching hasn't been

286
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: superb and they allowed over two hundred home runs this year.

287
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: The Yankees head by far the most home runs hit

288
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: of any team in the Majors this year. Number one

289
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 3: in homers, number one in RBIs, number one in walks.

290
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: Yankees were number one in run scored also.

291
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: So now you're looking at this series, right and look,

292
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: I already said last night, Look the Yankees look like

293
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: a team of destiny. Right. You had the new Jeter

294
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: play when McMahon goes into the stands to get it yea,

295
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: and Schlittler shows up like he's the new Andy Pettitt,

296
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: who had all the plaudits for him a rookie hasn't

297
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: done that in the game. In the playoffs, They're going

298
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: back to big, big performances. You're seeing names like Hoyit,

299
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: Will Helman, Mike Bottaker and all this stuff. I gotta

300
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: tell you this is how this series goes. The Yankees

301
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: take the first two games in Toronto. You talk about

302
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: the Dodgers mashing, they are going to mash. They're gonna hit.

303
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: They're motivated, they are hot at the right time, right

304
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: eliminating the Red Sox, seizing momentum after the seventh inning

305
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: of Game two, where ridiculously the Red Sox decided to

306
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: go conservative and play for one run. And ever since

307
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: that moment, when the Yankees got out of that bases

308
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: loaded jam, the Red Sox didn't score and the Yankees

309
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: were able to score enough runs to win. They're gonna hit.

310
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna score seven to eight runs the first two games.

311
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna go back to the stadium. It's gonna be

312
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: two nothing Yankees, and the Yankees are gonna win this series,

313
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: and they are gonna blow torch their way through Toronto.

314
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: I get how good Toronto is. I get they've been

315
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: playing well, but as you said, their pitching is not good.

316
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: They give up a lot of home runs. The Yankees

317
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: hit home runs. You're seeing Volpi get hot in the

318
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs. Chishom When he gets in

319
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: the lineup, he's affecting the game. Now. Maybe sitting him

320
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: out the first game was the best thing because now

321
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: he's really motivated the last couple of games. But this

322
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: is a team. Now Ben Rice has jumped in. He

323
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: was sitting out the first game, and he's played well.

324
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: They are going to absolutely destroy the baseball and it

325
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: could be a sweep. But I'll say, I'll I'll be guys,

326
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: I'll say Yankees in five and they wind up winning

327
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: the series and they go on to the ALCS.

328
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: Game five would be at Toronto. Since Toronto finished as

329
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: division champion winning that tiebreaker against the Yanks, they had

330
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 3: finished tied in the AL standings. Keep in mind the schedule.

331
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: These are day games this weekend in Toronto, four pm

332
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 3: Eastern Saturday, Fox TV Yankees at Toronto Game one, then

333
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: four pm Eastern Sunday on FS one Yankees at Toronto

334
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: for Game two, and then FS one will have Tuesday

335
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 3: nights Game three of the best of five from New York.

336
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: You like offense, It's gonna be a Yankees explosion starting

337
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: tomorrow in Toronto. And maybe some errors too, but enough

338
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: hits and they're gonna wind up winning. Exit out About

Speaker 1: So here we are on a football Friday, getting ready

374
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: for the big week of games in the NFL. We

375
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: got Pete Futech coming up about an hour from now

376
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: to break down all the big games in college football,

377
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: and Steve, I gotta tell you if we look ahead

378
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: to the two biggest games of the week in the NFL,

379
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Let's start with the Broncos and the Eagles,

380
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: because I feel like every week that goes by, I'm

381
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: gonna keep picking against Philadelphia because they're just not the

382
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: same team. They're they're they're they're just they're just surviving

383
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: week to week. Last week they played really well, but

384
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, they're not held on the same team. Uh,

385
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: And I feel like I'm gonna keep picking against them

386
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: till they get their loss. Like I can't pick them

387
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: to what, I'm gonna keep picking against them until they lose.

388
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: Now, they did have a big lead at Tampa Bay

389
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 3: in the heat last weekend and then held on for

390
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 3: the w. But they are four and oh with seemingly

391
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: Aja Brown not on the team at this point.

392
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: Oh, oh my goodness, how.

393
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 3: Do you how do you balance that they they're four

394
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 3: and oh and they can be better. I think that's

395
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 3: a fair statement.

396
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, and the AJ Brown thing, Let's

397
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: deal with this drama part of it first. Here's another

398
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: week where he has a bit of a cryptic message

399
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: towards the team. And I gotta be honest with you,

400
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: if you said to me, is AJ Brown gonna be

401
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: on the Eagles past the trade deadline, and I will

402
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: tell you no, because eventually they're gonna get tired of this.

403
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: And if they can incorporate him into the offense for

404
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: whatever reason, why are you keeping him around where things

405
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: are just gonna get bad as the season goes on?

406
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: Move on, They'll make a move for a wide receiver

407
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: that maybe they can they can bring in that that

408
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: would be a bigger part of the team. But they'll

409
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: save money on it, I'm sure. And look, and AJ

410
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: Brown is still a really talented wide receiver. Many teams

411
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: will see him as this. He's a change of scenery guy,

412
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: like you get him in someplace else. Yeah, Look, the

413
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: guy was reading on the sideline last year was a

414
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 1: big thing. Is about positive thinking and being in that

415
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: frame of mind. If he's not in that frame of mind,

416
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: it's hard for him to be able to produce. And

417
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: are the Eagles really gonna say we're gonna we're gonna,

418
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, drag, We're gonna drag through this whole situation

419
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: with you again over this year. They're not gonna do it.

420
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna say, you know what, We're not gonna wait

421
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: and go through November and December and maybe you're part

422
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: of the team, and maybe you're not and we should

423
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: have made a move. They're gonna understand that. Okay, maybe

424
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: time with the team has come to an end. They're

425
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: not gonna get a lot for him, obviously, because look,

426
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: you're paying you're paying them a lot of money. But

427
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: another team, there'd be a lot of teams at wide

428
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: receiver needy that will make that move of the deadline

429
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: and you feel like he could drop right in and play. Well,

430
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: I can see that happening one hundred percent, and they'll

431
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: go get a wide receiver that maybe is not happy someplace,

432
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: or a team has fallen out of contention. We're gonna

433
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: move on from this guy. Maybe it's the the Raiders

434
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: who are saying, we're not gonna pay Jacoby Myers anymore,

435
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: and so hey, we can replace him with Jacoby Myers coming.

436
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: Whatever is going to be. They will do something right,

437
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: they would. Garrett Wilson signed a big contract with the Jets,

438
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: not saying what could be. Okay, all right, it could be.

439
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: But if your first thing, if you told me if

440
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna be on the team past the deadline, I

441
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: would put my money on no. They will be moving

442
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: on from him, and it's gonna be and it's gonna

443
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: be a new time in Philadelphia, new weapons there at receiver,

444
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: something else for Jalen Hurt to try to get down

445
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: the field with.

446
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 3: The Eagles are four and zero and they're next to

447
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 3: last in passing in the NFL. AJ Brown may have

448
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 3: only had two catches for seven yards last game, they

449
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 3: did target him nine times. Usually when receivers are crying

450
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: for the ball, they don't have that amount of targets

451
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 3: coming their way. So we need to say this out loud.

452
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 3: He was targeted nine times last week. That's a fair

453
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 3: amount for any receiver, even a supposed one A on

454
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 3: this team. The thing is they're going up against a

455
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 3: genuinely great, not good great defense that the Denver Broncos had.

456
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 3: I still think it's quite underrated in the NFL. Denver's defense,

457
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 3: And granted it's against Vic Fangio, so you want to

458
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: talk about great defensive coordinators, that's the matchup. The Broncos

459
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 3: are in Philadelphia. But a guy like Jonathan Cooper who

460
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 3: not only wants to tackle you, but wants to tackle

461
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 3: through you and have you buried in the dirt, and

462
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: he's got such a great reaction to the snap to

463
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 3: start and get pressure and get off the line quickly.

464
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 3: And Nick Benito and the amount of pressures like against

465
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 3: the Chargers when Denver was there in recent weeks, it's

466
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 3: just astounding. Denver is number one in the NFL in

467
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 3: sacks so far this season and number two in pressures.

468
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: It's a really great defense that Philly's facing.

469
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: Look, and this is why I'm gonna do it again.

470
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: Here Denver runs the ball a ton, They eat the clock.

471
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: Their defense causes a lot of problems for Jalen Hurts

472
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: and mainly becauseing what the Eagles are realizing and slowly

473
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: every week there's and there's nothing that is changing this.

474
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: And I said this from the beginning. You think Saquon

475
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: Barkley is gonna have another big year, He's not, right,

476
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: not that he's suddenly done, but the guy's coming off

477
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: of four hundred touches, okay, four hundred touches over the

478
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: course of the last season with the playoffs. Nobody comes

479
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: off of that and has another big season, right, you

480
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: see him, he is barely He's having his Every week

481
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: is sixteen carries for forty five yards in a touchdown

482
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: Like that's every week for Saquon Barkley. It's just not

483
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: that way for him, and the Eagles are slowly going

484
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: to realize we can't count on him. We need to

485
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: do something more in the passing and that's why they're

486
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: going to say, hey, it's not working with aj Brown,

487
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: will figure something else out. But they're not going to

488
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: get it out of Saquon Barkley and they're not going

489
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: to fix that this week against the Broncos. I love

490
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: the under in this game, and I'll give you this

491
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 1: bold prediction because he seems to be talking about it

492
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: a lot and how much he likes it. Sean Payton

493
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: made a lot of references this week about the tush

494
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: push and how he voted for it, and he thinks

495
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: it's a great play. And the Eagles the Broncos stop

496
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: the tush push this week and it's a big deal.

497
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about it a lot. They win

498
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: this game over Philadelphia and give them their first l

499
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: of the season.

500
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 3: Now I think you're talking about the Rams the fourth

501
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: and one. You can't actually get a yet. Now, what

502
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 3: I think Denver needs to win this game is not

503
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 3: only the good defense, which I do expect, the great

504
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 3: defense to show up. But they need kind of what

505
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay needed to get back in the game last weekend.

506
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 3: That is, one quick strike, one long touchdown pass, very

507
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: short drive. Much to the confraternation of the defensive coordinator

508
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: Vic Fangio, that'll kind of be an equalizer to keep

509
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 3: Denver in it on the road. I would, I gotta

510
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: say it again. They are playing a four to oh

511
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 3: Eagles team and an Eagles team that can be better.

512
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: But this, this Denver team, this is a really really

513
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: good team, right and and they're gonna as the season

514
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: gets on, they get to the midway point of the

515
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: season and on, they're gonna be winning games in a

516
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: very machine like way. Now a lot of it is

517
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: bon Knicks year two. Teams are now understanding, Okay, here's

518
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: what we got to do to stop this guy. So

519
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: now Bo Nicks needs to do the readjustment that you

520
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: see all quarterbacks. Quarterbacks that start out really well, it

521
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: takes a little while, the league adjusts, the quarterback comes

522
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: down to earth a little bit. Then the quarterback readjusts,

523
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: and then that's kind of where his playing level is at.

524
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: So Bo Knicks needs some time to readjust to what

525
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: teams are doing to them because it's clearly not the

526
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: same offense that it was a year ago. But you

527
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: have a lot of new parts. You're trying to figure

528
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: out Evan Ingram with the team when he's in the lineup,

529
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: you know, with the joker position, and and hey, what's

530
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: the wide receiver room looking like? Is Franklin going to

531
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: be your number two? Is you know what kind of

532
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: role is Pat Bryant going to have? You're still figuring

533
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: things out in Denver, right, So that's still playing itself out.

534
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 1: But by the middle of the season, Sean Payton's too

535
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: good a head coach. They're going to have this thing

536
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: figured out and they're going to be all of a

537
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: sudden say, wow, this is one of the one of

538
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: the top five teams in all of football. Doesn't matter

539
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: what their record is, this is how good they are.

540
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: They're going to announce it. This People are going to say, Okay,

541
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm back in on the Broncos after this week.

542
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: I think we're properly ahead on this one. And remember

543
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 3: this when a month from now, the Denver Broncos are

544
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 3: seven and three, because they could be undefeated very realistically

545
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 3: right now, because they had literally a last play field

546
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 3: goal beat them at the Chargers, and that crazy last

547
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 3: play field goal at the Colts that they lost where

548
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: it would have been a miss from long distance on

549
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: the field goal attempt to play before we got the

550
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: leverage penalty and the Colts got the rekick from closer.

551
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 3: Denver could easily be four and oh. Now after they

552
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 3: play at Philadelphia this weekend, you know who the next

553
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 3: few games are. The Broncos will be playing in a row, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, Texans, Raiders.

554
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: All those teams have combined for negative three wins.

555
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 3: And seemingly negative three yards some games.

556
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: You know, I never get to a point where I go,

557
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: you know that team can run the table because it

558
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: always sounds so much easier to say than it is

559
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: to do. Oh if they run the table, it's always

560
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: the most useless thing. No, you hear those games ago. Oh,

561
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: absolutely they can run the table. Yeah, they can run

562
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: the table. With all of those games, it lightens up formative.

563
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 3: Denver is not only good this year. Their final two

564
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: games of the season are at Kansas City on Christmas

565
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 3: and then hosting the Chargers to end the season. This

566
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 3: is gonna be great.

567
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: So there's your first big game with leak the second

568
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: game of the week. Again a little bit of a

569
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: surprise because well, but this is where we are, the

570
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: Bucks and the Seahawks.

571
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 4: Me.

572
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it didn't think you'd see that. Didn't think

573
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks would be this good. Looks like they are

574
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: both three and one. Yeah, yeah, it didn't think the

575
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: Bucks woul be this good. The Bucks should probably be

576
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: four and oh, but they are as good things as

577
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: I've said about Seattle, and they have really surprised me

578
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: how well they have taken to the Sam Donald there

579
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: are now, you know, revamping their team with their quarterback

580
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: look Jackson Smith and the jigba is absolutely phenomenal. And

581
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: they still run the football well. This is a team

582
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: that does everything well right. That's that. The Seahawks are

583
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: that solid football team that churns out windsy. You can't

584
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: really say they have a weakness. You can't really say

585
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: they're great in a lot of places. But it doesn't matter.

586
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: If you're good, that's gonna win you ten to eleven

587
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: games in the NFL every year. But this week I'm

588
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: taking the Bucks over Seattle because in a close game,

589
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: I believe in Baker Mayfield at the end over Sam Darnald, Right,

590
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: I mean Tampa Bay has banged up a little bit. Yes,

591
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries coming in, but Seattle is really

592
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: more solid than spectacular. Mayfield is the two minute guy,

593
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: like I talked about him a couple of weeks ago,

594
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: where he has that Tom Brady kind of are about him.

595
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: Now that the end of games, He's going to make

596
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: the plays needed. Whether it's but it includes them, yeah, yeah,

597
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: Well he runs for a first down, throws her first down.

598
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: That confidence level that I used to have watching Brady going,

599
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: he's gonna find I don't know what it's gonna be.

600
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: Maybe it's gronk, maybe it's running backs out of the backfield,

601
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: but he's gonna find a way to get down the

602
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: field and they're gonna kick a field goal, They're gonna

603
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: get a touchdown. This is gonna come down to the

604
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: last possession of the game, and I have more confidence

605
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: that Mayfield's gonna be able to do it than Darnold.

606
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: Will I'll take Tampa getting the three and a half,

607
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: knocking the points, Tampa Bay wins on the field and

608
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: it's Mayfield doing it at the end.

609
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 3: You mentioned the great young receiver that Seattle has already.

610
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay has a great young receiver who they just drafted,

611
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: a Mecca Abuka, and so when they have Mike Evans

612
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 3: out with yet another hamstring injury at his career, Abuka

613
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 3: steps up big time. You mentioned the comebacks late, and

614
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: there were what three straight to start the season from

615
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield. He even said this week, We've got to

616
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 3: start faster, we got to come out swinging. And in fact,

617
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,400

620

729
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: a half hour. All the big football pitch this weekend

730
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: in college football, but two games that are going to

731
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: gain our attention more than any tomorrow. Like I told

732
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: you first hour of the show, if I could watch

733
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: one game tomorrow, it's Clemson North Carolina because of the drama,

734
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: but two other games that bring a lot of eyeballs

735
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: for a couple of different.

736
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 3: Reasons, of course, is.

737
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: Yes and Penn State Ucla. There you go and spread

738
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: is now segment done. I'm still taking Penn State. I

739
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 1: don't know what the points spread could be for Penn

740
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: State Ucla where I'm not gonna take Penn State.

741
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 3: I agree it could be forty.

742
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: I don't know is fifty enough Like forty, I would

743
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: still take Penn State. I still would because they're they're

744
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: pissed coming off the last week, and and Ucla I

745
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: can't believe they still have a football program. I really,

746
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: I can't believe this.

747
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 3: Like Ucla actually played a very close game at Penn

748
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 3: State last year and that will mean nothing tomorrow at

749
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 3: the rose Balls dominant.

750
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: Fifty Maybe I don't know, fifty might be enough, Like

751
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: could I see them?

752
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 3: When I mentioned earlier, I saw on the scroll that

753
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 3: Penn State was only favored by twenty four and I

754
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 3: was shocked. Twenty four and a half and it's gonna

755
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 3: be way larger than that by the.

756
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: End of the show. It'll be at forty by the

757
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: end of the show.

758
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 3: I think real quickly. I think the twenty four and

759
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 3: a half was as many UCLA fans is going to

760
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 3: be rose. Ucla scored ten against New Mexico people.

761
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: I think I think that's the over under for fans

762
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: of the Rose Balls twenty four.

763
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 3: And twenty four and a half. Right, you see, I

764
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 3: got ten in the opener against Utah. Remember that game

765
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 3: in the small stadium at Northwestern Harmon's place last weekend?

766
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 3: Wasn't UCLA down seventeen nothing before they got a couple

767
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: of touchdowns?

768
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: Lost seventeen week Steve, it's the blueout, it's.

769
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 3: Against the white out people. You know, this is the

770
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 3: national There's nothing else on CBS but this game.

771
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, this game.

772
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 3: They have no other game to go to during Penn

773
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 3: State at Ucla. So can we just say preemptively Yankees

774
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 3: at Toronto is on Fox TV tomorrow. We're PM Eastern.

775
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 1: You know what? I want that first question halftime to

776
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: James Franklin to be, Hey, how do you feel about

777
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: the start time of this game? Boy?

778
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 2: It's hot, isn't it?

779
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: Well? You're really hot down here? Isn't it bad?

780
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 3: Games that you're gonna ask him about the Yankees Toronto game?

781
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: Maybe CBS would have the SEC if they didn't. Yeah,

782
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 3: yeah at CBS with.

783
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: This game thirty eight three, can you tell me Aaron

784
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: Judges coming up with two on and two out in

785
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: the six, what do you think is going to happen?

786
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: But look, the guy with the most pressure on him

787
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 1: this week is arch Manning. All of a sudden, Hey

788
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: we're back to arch Manning. Why because now he's got

789
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: a game that's nationally televised against Florida. Now is Florida

790
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: any good? No? But still it's Florida and Texas is

791
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: on the road. And after the game, the incredible subpar

792
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: game that he had against Ohio State. He has had

793
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: three weeks against three teams that are on the schedule

794
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: right whether it's San Jose State, UTEP, Sam Houston. They

795
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: went thirty eight to seven, very underwhelming, twenty seven to

796
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: ten win. They beat Sam Houston fifty five. Nothing. This

797
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: is the first time we'll watch arch Manning with a

798
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: lot of interest since week one. And I'll tell you what,

799
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: we got to see something from him now, like he

800
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: has had three buys to fix whatever it was versus

801
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: Ohio State. Now it's a bad Florida team, but it's

802
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: still Florida. If he doesn't do it this week. Forget

803
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. When they play Oklahoma coming up,

804
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna look.

805
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 3: Just like Saturday, Yeah that's away.

806
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: It'll look just like the Ohio State game. How is

807
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: arch Manning this bad? How is he not good? Right?

808
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: You and I did the show right going into the

809
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: regular season the night before and said, you know what

810
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: if arch Manning stinks this year? What if he's just

811
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: not good? So it's really our fault because you know,

812
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 1: the number one guy coming into the season of college

813
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: football has not been good. No one really talked about

814
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: that until we said it. And now look what we've

815
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: done to arch Manning. But really, I got to see

816
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: this tomorrow or there's no way he's going to be

817
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: able to get it going for the rest of the season.

818
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: This is a perfect example of him against a high

819
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: profile team that again on the road. It's gonna be hot,

820
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: right Tabahat's gonna be eighty degrees, eighty plus degrees. But

821
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: this is a game Texas should win. And if he's

822
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: figured things out now, he's had a month. That's a

823
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: long time. He's had a month to figure this out.

824
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: If he's no good, forget it. I am not buying

825
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: on him the rest of the season.

826
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the Florida Gators quarterback was a highly how to recruit,

827
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 3: Dj Lagway, who has five touchdown passes and six interceptions

828
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 3: so far. And if the Florida Gators had not scheduled

829
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 3: Long Island to start the season, they would be winless

830
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 3: this year because after being Long Island to begin, Florida

831
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 3: lost a close one to South Florida, which one again tonight.

832
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 3: They lost at LSU, and they lost at Miami. Now

833
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 3: it's Texas. It's possible the Gators are one and four

834
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 3: after tomorrow now, Jim, I haven't played Georgia yet, they

835
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 3: haven't played Tennessee yet, et cetera.

836
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, Steve, in recent college football history, Okay,

837
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: just to give not that just for Florida for a second.

838
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've seen this difficult of a

839
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: month's schedule ever in college football. Their month after they

840
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: lose to South Florida number three, LSU, number four, Miami

841
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: number nine, Texas number six, Texas A and m you

842
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: have four top ten teams in a month. You have

843
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: played four top ten teams in a row. I don't

844
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: know anybody that's going to survive that schedule.

845
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 3: You know, somebody, I hope when by the time I'm

846
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 3: on the air tomorrow night, I hope they find an

847
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 3: answer to that, because that is a great trivia question.

848
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 3: Who was the last in the same month to play

849
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 3: against four top ten teams? That's hard to do.

850
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that. You got to

851
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: ask the great researcher, Sarah Langes if she can find that.

852
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. She can find it. She's a

853
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: great researcher. She gotta find it.

854
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 3: She probably could find it.

855
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: Actually, three, four, nine, and six. You play four top ten,

856
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: you gotta probably go back to like Army in the

857
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: nineteen forties when they play, well, we got Navy, we

858
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: have no tre Dame, we have Columbia and Penn all

859
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: those teams in the top ten. There's only ten teams,

860
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: but that's what we have. That's all we have. Exit

861
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: up out of Fresco, exit swollen. Don't we take a

862
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,959
Speaker 1: look at three big NFL storylines coming up next
