25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: It depends like do I have a day or two off?

26
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,479

Speaker 2: that's right. So you know we're gonna start with a

61
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: game today, a little game called would you rather? And

62
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 2: don't don't get heads out of the NFL All right,

63
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: NFL edition, get your Yeah, it's okay. So let's start

64
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: with the best of the best. Okay, all right, because

65
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: we have two five and oh teams, both in the

66
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: NFC forty nine ers and the Eagles. So would you

67
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: rather be the Eagles or the forty nine ers? I

68
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: would rather be the forty nine ers. And here's why,

69
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to open up with some stats. Okay, I'm

70
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna give you some numbers for free go

71
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: for it offense. Points per game forty nine Ers or

72
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: second Eagles are fifth, first down percentage forty nine ers

73
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: or second Eagles are ninth. Quarterback rock Perty twelve to

74
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: zero games. He started and finished healthy. First in passer

75
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: rating Jalen Hurts. Obviously, he's been in illegal a lot longer,

76
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: so thirty and thirteen, sixteenth in passer rating. However, I

77
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: will say he has a chip on his shoulder which

78
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: is going to help him in every way possible this year.

79
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: But let's go to defense here. Points allowed per game

80
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, first Eagles thirteenth, yards allowed per game

81
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, third Eagles tenth. So now that you've

82
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: heard the stats, I'm more of an eyest person definitely

83
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: as well what we've seen. Yes, the Eagles are five

84
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: and zero. They have not looked as dominant as the

85
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: forty nine ers. Now they are finding ways to wins,

86
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: which is also important, right, because they're gritty, they're getting

87
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: it done and they're figuring it out. But top to bottom,

88
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers are just such an elite team.

89
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: It's the perfect fitting puzzle with Kyle Shanahan as like

90
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: the puzzle master like putting his puzzle pieces together, and

91
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: Brock purties his distributor to his A plus weapons with McCaffrey, Kiddle,

92
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: deebo Ayuk. And when you have that much talent on

93
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: both sides of the ball, it's hard to pick against them.

94
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: And that's why I'm not picking against them.

95
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: I'm with you on no.

96
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: No, that's yeah, I one hundred percent agree with you.

97
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 4: And even last year when the Eagles and the Chiefs,

98
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 4: I said on air, I was like, I the Eagles

99
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 4: don't pass my eye tests, Like they're not calling I

100
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: want flashy, I want a throw down the field to

101
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: you know Kittle or Travis Kelcey. Well, the Eagles do

102
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: a lot of like more brotherly shove, a lot of

103
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: brotherly shoves, a lot of like just more push push, yes,

104
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: that would like honestly, it's like to me, I'm just

105
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 4: like they're a little boring.

106
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: And I said this last year. I said it last year,

107
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: so and again, I just want all it boring. It's scrappy,

108
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: it's messy, it's not pretty. But they're getting it done.

109
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: They are getting it done. And they were there.

110
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: They went to the Super Bowl.

111
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: Ye just for my eye test. Yeah, I don't get it.

112
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: I don't.

113
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 4: I one hundred percent would take the forty nine ers.

114
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 4: And this is not even looking at stats, like you said,

115
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: just the eye test.

116
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would take the forty nine ers.

117
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 5: All right.

118
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: They face each other on December third. Very exciting, that's

119
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: gonna be. Yeah, mark your calendar's there. Now let's go

120
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: to the bad Okay, Okay? Would you rather have this?

121
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: Is like I feel I even feel bad that I

122
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: said bad heading into this. Would you rather have Bill

123
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: Belichick or Sean Payton as your head coach right now?

124
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: Both are Super Bowl winning coaches who are massively struggling

125
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: right now. They're both supposed to be masterminds on their

126
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: side of the ball. Bill on defense, and let me

127
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: just know, Patriots on defense are twenty fifth in points

128
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: allowed right now, and Sean Payton on offense and Broncos

129
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: offense is nineteenth in points per game in twenty first

130
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: in yards per game Patriots are one and four, Broncos

131
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: are one in five. Both are not in great situations.

132
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think I would rather have Sean Payton

133
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: interesting right now now, this also would be if if

134
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: the Broncos can move off of Russell Wilson. I think

135
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: there's a lot of things, Yeah, I have. I think

136
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: there's a lot of hope for Sean And because the

137
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: direction that the league is going, it's an offensive league.

138
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: They favor offensive teams, offensive coaches, and Shawn's an offensive coach. Yeah,

139
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: it's just it's just gonna be really hard with him

140
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: and Russ there and Sean is you can tell he

141
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: is publicly frustrated. He is publicly over it, and you

142
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: could hear it in his postgame presser the other night

143
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: after the game.

144
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 6: To win in our league, you got to be better

145
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 6: throwing the ball especially. You know, I don't think the

146
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 6: win was that big of a factor, but we just

147
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 6: knew it was going to be somewhat of the best

148
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 6: factor in the Kidney game. That's that's my first coming

149
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 6: off the game. You know, third down, you know, if

150
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 6: we were even in some short yardage situations where we had.

151
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 7: To come.

152
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: So we got to be able to throw the ball.

153
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: We can't throw the ball. He said that over and

154
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: over again.

155
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: I funny because these I like that you said that.

156
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: These both coaches right now this season are in very

157
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 4: similar situations, struggling with their quarterbacks, struggling all around.

158
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: Right, both great legendary coaches.

159
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: I prefer to have Bill.

160
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: Belichick, if I'm being honest with you, over Sean Payton.

161
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: Okay, now, I and Sean Payton's great.

162
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: There is something about Bill Belichick that I'm scared of.

163
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. His players were scared of. I don't have

164
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: heard like all of them have come out after and

165
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: been like, oh man, I did not want to be

166
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: late for Bill.

167
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 6: Right.

168
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 7: No.

169
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 4: Rich Ornberger, who I work with on Sundays, played for

170
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 4: the Patriots. He purposely crashed his car to be late

171
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: to practice so that he wouldn't get yelled at.

172
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: I kind of I like that, Like I want Bill

173
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: bell Remember I just said I like being scared. Guys.

174
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: She's also wearing a really scary T shirt. It's not

175
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: that scary, guys. It is baby Pennywise. It's like a

176
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: little baby. I am terrified of scary things to get nightmares,

177
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: and I'm enough nightmares of your shirt and I think

178
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: I wish I could get a nightmare.

179
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 4: Oh no, I love it so like I want Bill

180
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: Belichick to yell at me.

181
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: I want him to maybe curse me out if imagining

182
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: MANZI sit like construction room, you know stuff, I go

183
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: and break things. It's like, Bill, take your anger out

184
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: and yell at me sleep. I would love, I would love.

185
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: And I also like his one word answers when he's

186
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: in a bad mood.

187
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 3: I like that.

188
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: Maybe you should start wearing like cut off sweatshirts. Oh

189
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: that's it, just start to That's gonna be one of

190
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 2: my main scary Bill. Scary Bill that I got.

191
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go get a sweatshirt from Mikey's Target and

192
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna You're right.

193
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: I love Spooky Season. Man, it terrifies me. I love it. Skeletons,

194
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: the clowns, everything. I'm like, I can't wait. It's over time.

195
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: And you know what sucks about Halloween.

196
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 4: It's over on October thirty. First, there's no it doesn't

197
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: bleed into the next month.

198
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: No, Pi every pumpkins do pumpkins and the orange does? Yeah? Yeah,

199
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: but yeah, Bill Belichick, come on, yell at me. Okay, well,

200
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: I love it. Okay, let's move on to our next one,

201
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: which Bill is also in. Would you rather have Bill

202
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: Belichick or Jerry Jones running your team? Now? This one

203
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: is also hard, but I'm gonna go with Jerry. Honestly,

204
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: I don't think either of them should be the GM,

205
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna take the let. I don't even know

206
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: if it's lesser of two evils, but I'm to go

207
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: with the guy who owns the team and needs to

208
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: do well for his own personal game. Now, you might say, Alex,

209
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: how can you pick Jerry when the Cowboys have won

210
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: four playoff games in the last twenty three years and

211
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: the Patriots, meanwhile, I have the last twenty three years

212
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: have won six Super Bowls with Bill and Brady, but

213
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: we are in the post Brady era. Patriots have not

214
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: won a playoff game since he left. And again, because

215
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: Jerry owns the team, it's kind of right, like there's

216
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: no option there. It's like he is the boss. He's

217
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: gonna do what he wants, So I'm gonna ride or

218
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: die there. So I'm with you.

219
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 4: I actually also think Jerry Jones, and I know that

220
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: sounds crazy. Listen, Cowboys are the most valuable team in

221
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 4: the US for a reason, like no matter what. But

222
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 4: the big thing is, I don't want my coach to

223
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: be the GM. I didn't like it when Doc Rivers

224
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 4: was the Clippers head coach in the GM. I don't

225
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 4: like it now you worry about just being a head

226
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 4: coach and let somebody else think about it like this,

227
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 4: and you could have an input, but that shouldn't be

228
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: on you.

229
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: So I agree they're not great either one.

230
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: But I'll take Jerry Jones as a my GM.

231
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: All right. Last one, would you rather have Tua or

232
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 2: Josh Allen as your quarterback? Now they're in the same

233
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: division battle for the AFC East. I'm gonna go with

234
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. You're gonna pickure now. He has, he has

235
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: the raw talent, he has the arm. He's cut down

236
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: his interceptions after that first game, and this is the

237
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: big one. He doesn't have the same injury concerns that

238
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: Tua has. If Tua gets another concussion, we have to

239
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: have a serious conversation about his career and if he

240
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 2: can continue. Now two is playing great and how much

241
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: of that also is My question is Mike McDaniel. We

242
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: saw where he was before Mike, now where he is

243
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 2: in Mike's offense. So t was numbers in twenty twenty

244
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: one thirteen games, is before Mike McDaniels two six hundred two,

245
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: six hundred and fifty three passing yards, sixteen touchdowns, ten interceptions.

246
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: Now in twenty twenty two, in thirteen games with Mike

247
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: McDaniel three thousand, five hundred and forty eight passing yards,

248
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: twenty five touchdowns, eight interceptions. Big jump, Yeah, right Yeah.

249
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: Then on the other side of things, you look at

250
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, who lost his offensive coordinator, who was his

251
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: security blanket, an incredible offensive mine in Brian Dable, and

252
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 2: you would think Josh Allen's going to have this crazy

253
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: drop off, right, Surprisingly, he didn't. Josh Allen's numbers with

254
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: UH Brian Dable in twenty twenty one four thy four

255
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: hundred and seven passing yards, thirty six touchdowns, fifteen interceptions.

256
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's numbers without Dable in twenty twenty two four

257
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty three passing yards, thirty five touchdowns,

258
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: fourteen interceptions. So the fact that he's able to maintain

259
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: and still be that same guy and same player, I'm

260
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: taking Josh all Right.

261
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 4: So the one thing I will agree with you on

262
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: that I can't, I cannot deny is the injury thing. Yeah,

263
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 4: you know, one hundred percent, Josh Allen hasn't hasn't gotten

264
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: injured or any big injury. Tua has had lots of

265
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 4: injuries throughout the throughout his career, even in college, you know. So,

266
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: but I will say I'll take Tua. I think, I

267
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 4: know it's a smaller a percentage or a smaller uh

268
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 4: sample size because of the injuries that Tua has had.

269
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 8: Yep.

270
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 4: And I agree with you also that Josh Allen might

271
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 4: be able to throw the ball further maybe Okay, he

272
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 4: has a stronger arm. I think Tua is more accurate

273
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 4: than Josh Allen. He plays within the system and he

274
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 4: doesn't need to be flashy or be the star. Could

275
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 4: that be because he has more weapons? Maybe maybe that

276
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 4: could be it. Josh Allen is his own worst enemy.

277
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 4: He's not afraid to go for it, and there are

278
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 4: times when it's like, Noah, puppy, you do you should

279
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 4: be afraid? You should kind of assess this moment. I

280
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 4: feel like some of the mistakes that I have seen

281
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 4: Josh Allen do are in really crucial moments. While I

282
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 4: haven't seen Tua do that, I think he's more accurate. Yeah,

283
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 4: so I would take Tua even though the sample size

284
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 4: because of his injuries is a lot smaller compared to

285
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 4: Josh Allen, who has basically played every game yeah in

286
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 4: his career.

287
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 2: Eesa reees, this is a fun little thing we might

288
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: continue to do. All right, We're gonna take a quick

312
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 4: So thank you, Yes, thank you, Thank you John and Pennsylvania.

313
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: We will take all of the love, all the time.

314
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: So you want to call in talk to producer Brandon,

315
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: He'll he'll relay the message. But guys, we are in

316
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: the heat of the MLB postseason right now. The ALCS

317
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: kicks off tomorrow Rangers and Astro. So we're bringing on

318
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: one of the best baseball reporters in the game. I've

319
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: been lucky to know. We're almost my entire career from

320
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: her time with the Dodgers when I was The Angel's

321
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: sideline reporter. She is now the co host of MLB Networks. Hi,

322
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: he Alana Rizza, welcome to the show.

323
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 7: Yes, hello, ladies, congratulations on your show with you.

324
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: I hate We're doing great. Now, Ohana, we got to

325
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: start with the biggest upset this postseason our Dodgers. Okay, hey, now,

326
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: you spent almost a decade in LA covering the Dodgers,

327
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: and they have been one of the best regular season

328
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: teams over that time. But for some reason, they've not

329
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: been that same team come October. What do you explain

330
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: what we just saw from Elan?

331
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 7: I think the biggest thing is this year. It was

332
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 7: pretty clear cut from the beginning of the season. I said,

333
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 7: the Dodgers don't have enough starting pitching, and I think,

334
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 7: you know, they were really hampered by what they had.

335
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 7: They had, you know, guys having to come up from

336
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 7: the minor leagues that weren't really ready for.

337
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 4: The big stage.

338
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 7: I think Bobby Miller is going to be a very

339
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 7: good starting pitcher in the future. I don't think that

340
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 7: twenty twenty three was the year that he needed to

341
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 7: be up Here. Was here because of necessity, because of

342
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 7: the injuries obviously to Walker Rueller, who we thought would

343
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 7: possibly come back in September out of the bullpen. Obviously,

344
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 7: Tony Gonsolin goes down, Justin May goes down, all of

345
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 7: the domestic violence issues with Blue, Obviously, Clinton Kershaw did

346
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 7: not have a good game one performance. I do think

347
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 7: that Kersh would have a lot better had there been

348
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 7: a Game four, But the Dodgers just did not have

349
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 7: the pitching dep coupled with the fact that you have

350
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 7: at the top of your order Mookie Betts and Freddie

351
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 7: Freeman to MVP candidates in the National League if it

352
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 7: wasn't for Ronald Counia Junior. And they combined for one

353
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 7: hit in the entire ds so you know, their bats

354
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 7: went cold. They have a very top heavy lineup.

355
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: The bottom of.

356
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 7: The order didn't do anything apart from Will Smith, and

357
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 7: I think you have a starting staff that just couldn't

358
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 7: go the distance. I mean the bullpen, which is typically

359
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 7: the one part of the game that keeps GM's up

360
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 7: at night, was the best part of the postseason for

361
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 7: Los Angeles. They had to eat up so many innings.

362
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 7: The starting staff didn't even combine for five total innings

363
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 7: thrown in the three games against the Diamondbacks. That's not

364
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 7: a good formula for success. So you know, I really

365
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 7: wish they would have gotten another frontline starter at the deadline.

366
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 7: To Andrew Friedman's credit, he did go after Eduardo Rodriguez.

367
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 7: They just think that they had him, but then he

368
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 7: elected to you know, exercise his no trade clause and

369
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 7: he decided to stay in detroitbably crazy for me, for reasons,

370
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 7: and he has that he has that right. But you know,

371
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 7: no pitching, no depths, and an offense that was totally cold.

372
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 7: That's why the Dodgers didn't get out of the first round.

373
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: Alana.

374
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 4: But it's the same old song and dance, the bat's

375
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 4: going cold, Mookie Betts. Since twenty twenty one, NLCS has

376
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 4: gone three for thirty seven. So it wasn't just this year.

377
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 4: The fans, we've seen this over and over. Should there

378
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 4: be a new voice in the clubhouse?

379
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: Do you think that?

380
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 7: I mean, I think well, I mean you think about

381
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 7: what is what besides what I just mentioned, what were

382
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 7: the Dodgers missing this year that they've had every other

383
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 7: year in the most sweat like seven, eight, nine years.

384
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 7: What was missing Justin Turner? Justin Turner, it was such

385
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 7: a huge force, not only as the three hoole hitter,

386
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 7: but just the leader in the clubhouse. I mean, you

387
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 7: think about what Justin Turner was able to do in Boston,

388
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 7: not even from an offensive standpoint or playing third base,

389
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 7: which he didn't have to do too much because of devors,

390
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 7: But you think about what he meant to the clubhouse

391
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 7: in terms of a leadership standpoint, There's very few times

392
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 7: where there's somebody that's named a captain in baseball. Justin

393
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 7: Turner was the captain. I mean, Dave Roberts even said

394
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 7: he was the glue that kept that team together. So

395
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 7: you take away Justin Turner, and I understand it's a business.

396
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 7: He wanted a multi year deal. The Dodgers didn't really

397
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 7: want to give him a multi year deal Boston, did

398
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 7: you know. You take away that, and then you take

399
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 7: away Corey Seeger, who could very well should have been,

400
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 7: in my opinion, the you know, al batting champion if

401
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 7: Johnny Diaz actually would have played the last day of

402
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 7: the season for the Rays. Those are two huge pieces

403
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 7: as far as one from a leadership perspective and two

404
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 7: from you know, two guys that will always give you

405
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 7: professional at bat So yeah, I mean a new voice.

406
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 7: I mean, I think Clayton Kershaw's a solid voice in there.

407
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 7: I don't think that the Dodgers lacked leadership. I think

408
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 7: the Dodgers just lacked pitching, and you know, they never

409
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 7: would have gotten to where they were if it wasn't

410
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 7: for Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman. But you have four

411
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 7: guys that have one hundred RBI on the team and

412
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 7: you can't get out of the first round. And I

413
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 7: don't necessarily want to blame the layoff because the Astros

414
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 7: had the same amount of time down for downtime. Rather

415
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 7: excuse me, and they don't have a problem. They're going

416
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 7: to the Alcs again. So their bats went cold at

417
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 7: the wrong time. This is a game of rhythm and timing.

418
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 7: You can ask anybody that, and it just it just

419
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 7: didn't work out for them.

420
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned that. We've seen now three of the

421
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: four hundred win teams get knocked out of the DS,

422
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 2: everyone except the Astros. They would have combined one and nine.

423
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 2: Now why do you think we're seeing that? And do

424
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: you think it has to do with that buy having

425
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: those five days off?

426
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 7: I don't think so. I think, you know, again, it

427
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 7: is about rhythm and timing. I remember back in two

428
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 7: thousand and seven when I was covering the Colorado Rockies

429
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 7: and they went on that crazy run of winning twenty

430
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 7: one out of twenty two games, and then you know,

431
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 7: they swept the DS. They swept the CS and then

432
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 7: they had to wait for the American League to finish

433
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 7: up for the World Series and they ended up getting

434
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 7: swept by the Boston Red Sox. Now, I don't think

435
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 7: that the Rockies would have beaten the Red Sox in

436
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 7: two thousand and seven, but I do think it would

437
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 7: have been a bit more competitive had they not had

438
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 7: a six to seven day layoff until the America figured

439
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 7: it out. But I, you know, I don't know what

440
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 7: it is. I think the Astros have a lot of

441
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 7: different ways to beat you. The Dodgers needed to slug

442
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 7: their way to win, and they just didn't have the

443
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 7: bats to do so, you know, and again, if your

444
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 7: starters can't get out of the you know, the second

445
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 7: you know, they're already out of the game by the

446
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 7: second inning, that's the massive problem.

447
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 4: You're listening to Fox Sports Saturday with Alex Curry and

448
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 4: Monci Blanas and we're talking to Alana Rizzo speaking about

449
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 4: the Astros. For me, the Rangers and the Ashros, it's

450
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 4: a coin flip. Who do you think has the edge.

451
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 7: It's funny because I was thinking about this the other

452
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 7: day in terms of the X factor, and you look

453
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 7: at these two teams and they're pretty evenly matched. I

454
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 7: love I mean, starting from the manager right, Bruce Bochi

455
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 7: and Dusty Baker, two future Hall of Fame managers. You know,

456
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 7: the guys that have a tremendous resume in terms of baseball,

457
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 7: great baseball minds, old school managers who I love both

458
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 7: of them. The way that they go about thinks their

459
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 7: offense is both very good. I think the edge has

460
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 7: to go, I guess to the Astros in terms of pitching,

461
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 7: and if there is an X factor, I just look

462
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 7: at experience. The Astros expect to be there, and they

463
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 7: didn't freak out when they played pretty poorly towards the

464
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 7: end of the season and they were kind of the

465
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 7: toss up of who was going to win the division.

466
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 7: So I guess if there's a you know, it's going

467
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 7: to come down to pitching in defense, as it always

468
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 7: does in these type all games. I guess the Astros

469
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 7: would have the advantage, but I wouldn't be surprised if

470
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 7: the Rangers could figure it out. The Astros have not

471
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 7: played well at all at Minute Made Park this year,

472
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 7: so if the if the Rangers can go in there

473
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 7: and split one of the first two games and then

474
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 7: go back to global life fields. You know, when it's two,

475
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 7: three to two, you never know what's going to happen.

476
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 7: Perhaps it is a it's in seven game series in

477
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 7: this one, who knows. I think the DS is going

478
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 7: to be a lot more clear cut than the the

479
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 7: excuse me, the ALCS is going to be here, the NLCS.

480
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a lot more clearcuts in the ale.

481
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 4: Yes.

482
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about that National League there, because we

483
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: got some good drama in the Braves in Philly series.

484
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: Is this the best rivalry we have in baseball right now?

485
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 7: I mean, it's a lot of fun. I think you'd

486
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 7: be hard pressed to find a World Series matchup that's

487
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 7: going to be more entertaining than Phillies and Braves. Was

488
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 7: I think that that was the series that I think

489
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 7: a lot of people circled. I don't think anybody thought

490
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 7: that the Dodgers were gonna get swept by the Diamondbacks,

491
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 7: you know, and I don't think that anybody would have

492
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 7: their eyes on anything else really than the Phillies.

493
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 10: And the Braves.

494
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 7: And again, you have to you have to pitch, and

495
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 7: the and the Braves.

496
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 10: Just didn't do that.

497
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 7: I think their pitching was was pretty solid, but the

498
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 7: Phillies have their X factor. Is that ballpark in those fans? Yeah,

499
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 7: because it's just it was just just been a game

500
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 7: changer for them. And there's something really really special going

501
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 7: on with with Philly right now. So I don't you know,

502
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 7: I give Tory Lavella, who I adore as a manager,

503
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 7: I give him a ton of credit. I mean, the

504
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 7: Diamondbacks are undefeated so far this postseason, but I think

505
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 7: that series with the Phillies is going to be quite

506
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 7: eye opening, and I don't know, I feel like this

507
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 7: is kind of Philly's year.

508
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. So okay, so before we let you go, I

509
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 2: think I know this from just your last two answers,

510
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 2: But what's your World Series prediction?

511
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 7: Well, I don't know anything, Alex, because I at the

512
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 7: beginning of the season I picked Toronto and the New

513
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 7: York Man.

514
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: I think everybody gets shocked by that.

515
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 7: I think I think I think it's a rematch of

516
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 7: last year. I think the Astros will kind of have

517
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 7: the edge over the Rangers, and I think the Phillies

518
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 7: do best the Diamondbacks. And I do think that last

519
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 7: year I picked the Phillies in six. It's the World

520
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 7: Series and I was wrong. It was the Astros and six.

521
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 7: But I will pick the Phillies again this year.

522
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 2: I love that. Am I going to see you at

523
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: the World Series?

524
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 7: No, I don't think I'm traveling to the World Series,

525
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 7: but I will be in Atlanta for the CS doing

526
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 7: some stuff for Turner. So okay, maybe our past will cross.

527
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I hope. So Alana, thank you so much for

528
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: joining us. We love you, we appreciate you so much.

533
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 2: and see what's trending.

534
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 11: Yes, we do have a bowload college football going on

535
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,840

Speaker 11: who was one and six. It's fourteen to nothing in

540
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 11: favor of the Ninea Lions, the number six ranked team

541
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 11: in the country of course. End of the first quarter

542
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 11: and number seven Washington owns of fourteen to eight edge

543
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,320

544
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 11: already has two touchdowns through the air and one hundred

Speaker 11: at the end of one quarter. As far as the

548
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 11: completed games, no upsets to account for.

549
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: There was a tight one though.

550
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 11: Number eleven Alabama holding off a comeback minded Arkansas squad

551
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 11: twenty four to twenty one. That is Nick Saban's two

552
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 11: hundredth career win as the head coach for BAMA. Number

553
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 11: four Florida State all over Syracuse forty one to three,

554
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,159

560
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 11: of them, excuse me, as the quarterback for the Wolverines,

561
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 11: three through the air for the highly regarded McCarthy and

562
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 11: a big win for number one Georgia as they take

563
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,639

Speaker 11: and a touchdown through the air for the Bulldogs. But

566
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 11: we do know that Brock Bauers, the star tight end

567
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 11: for this team and the Bulldogs left the game of

568
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 11: the second quarter because of an ankle injury and they're

569
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 11: not sure how long he's going to miss or something

570
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 11: to monitor here for the Dogs after they improved a

571
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 11: seven and zero on the season. With that, let's get

572
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 11: it back to Monty Bolano's and Alex Curry.

573
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, Brian, you're listening to Fox Sports Saturday and

574
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: Alex Curry here with Monty Bilangos. We are broadcasting live

575
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: from the Tyrock dot Com studios in Los Angeles and Moncy.

576
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: There's a report this week that uh Robert Kraft under

577
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 2: the Patriots is open to firing Bill Belichick if the

578
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 2: struggles continue. So my question here is loyalty coming to

579
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: an end in sports?

580
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 4: And I hope not, but it sure seems that way.

581
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 4: How could you say that about Bill Belichick? He is

582
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 4: your patriot.

583
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 2: I know you love Bill. We learned that in the

584
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 2: last segment you want Bill to yell at you. You

585
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: want to go into a room with Bell and you

586
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 2: want to just let out his anger on you. I

587
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: get it, But he tell me he is not tell

588
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: me if you think of Patriots first, you don't mean

589
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 2: to tell you. Yes, of course, but it is It

590
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 2: is extremely rare to spend your entire career, whether it's

591
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: coaching or as a player with a single franchise. Obviously

592
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 2: Bill did not spend his entire career at the Patriots.

593
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: But like even on the athlete site, what you have

594
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: like Derek Jeter and the Yankees, Kobe Bryant, the Lakers,

595
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: Tim Duncan and the Spurs, Troy mckman and the Cowboys,

596
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 2: Ski in the MAVs, there you go, le Bron goes.

597
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 8: But like.

598
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: Back to this situation, Bill's been there since two thousand, right,

599
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: He's in his twenty fourth season. That is a hell

600
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: of a run. He has had success in New England. Okay,

601
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: he brought them six Super Bowls, an NFL record, thirty

602
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: one career playoff victories and three hundred and thirty total wins.

603
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: He's been Coach of the Year three times. He is

604
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: seventy one years old. Yes, Smansea. Yes, okay, but since

605
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: Brady has left in twenty nineteen, they have not won

606
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 2: a playoff game and his offensive draft picks haven't really hit.

607
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: And after a quarter of a century, almost a quarter

608
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: of a century, I don't think it comes to loyalty anymore.

609
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: This is a business and it might be time to

610
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: move on. If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't be

611
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 2: what you are now. And Tom Brady, you can throw

612
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: at a bunch. I agree. There were saying now Bill

613
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: needed Brady. Brady was better with Bill, but was still

614
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: able to succeed and win a Super Bowl elsewhere. It's

615
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 2: just hard for me to just accept it's a business.

616
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 4: It is a business, right, But tell me if it

617
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 4: wasn't for what Bill did, you can't you can't deny.

618
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: That if it wasn't for what he did, they wouldn't

619
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: be what they are.

620
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 4: Okay, Maybe tell him you're not gonna be the GM anymore,

621
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 4: or maybe this is something that you feel, but.

622
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 2: Don't say that out loud. Why because it was reported

623
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 2: that Kraft likes to remind people he grew up a

624
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: Patriots fan during the organization's darkest days. But that doesn't

625
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: mean he has the patience to endure more of them.

626
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: And that's okay, that's okay. You are your whole purpose

627
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: in this league is to win, sure, and if you

628
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: can't win a playoff game, after the incredible success that

629
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: you had with this franchise, the amount of time he's

630
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: been there twenty four years, he got you your six

631
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: super Bowls, it's time to move on. If he can't

632
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: win and he can't draft great offensive players. I mean,

633
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: there's a lot of heat around Mac Jones not playing well.

634
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 2: That was Bill's draft pick. That was Bill's He is

635
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: the GM and the coach, so all the glory and

636
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: all the blame is always going to fall on him, which.

637
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 4: Is so with that, all the good and all the

638
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 4: bad is going to fall on him. But again, I

639
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 4: just like he's going to retire soon. I didn't like

640
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 4: that this was set out loud.

641
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: You don't let me know. Let's say he should, so

642
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: like he should, he should retire soon. But at what point,

643
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: at what point as the owner of this team, you

644
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: are not seeing sickcess, how many next chances do you

645
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 2: get someone? I mean, every great player, every great coach

646
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: reaches this point in their career after a certain age,

647
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 2: the game has moved on. Unfortunately, Bill has not completely

648
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: adapted to the new style of the game.

649
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 4: But all of that, you take him away from being

650
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 4: a GM and you put other people with him. I'm saying, listen,

651
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 4: if you are going to fire the guy, I get that,

652
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 4: but I don't see why you say that out loud

653
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 4: to the media to create the story.

654
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: Because you have a relationship with him, Bill, but you've

655
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: been away.

656
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: It would be hard to believe that they're not friends.

657
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: It would be hard for me to believe that they're not.

658
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: Bill and Brady never hung out, they never had dinner.

659
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 2: They were not friends. You do not have to be

660
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: friends with the people that you work with. Sometimes it's

661
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 2: for the best that you're not kids. You have to work,

662
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: but you have a working relationship.

663
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch here.

664
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 4: They have obviously a positive relationship. That conversation could happen

665
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 4: behind closed doors.

666
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: You don't know, but it could.

667
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 4: That's my whole point is that he you are the owner,

668
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 4: have this conversation privately and make your team better. Don't

669
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 4: say out loud that you're about to fire the best

670
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 4: coach of all time, don't I don't get.

671
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: That everything is leaked. Everything it's leaked for a reason.

672
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: You have to remember that. It doesn't just yeah, because

673
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 2: he's tried into the media. It's a nice little nudge

674
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: of like, hey, if you don't retire, I'm thinking about

675
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 2: doing this. I want you to go out on your

676
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: own terms. So why don't you think about retiring. It

677
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 2: hasn't been working since Brady left in twenty nineteen. Might

678
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: be time to go. And this is a subtle I

679
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: don't even know if you call it pr push. It wasn't.

680
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: So it was not subtle, you know. That's my whole thing.

681
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 4: It's just I know, maybe I can never be an

682
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 4: owner then I can never be an owner, which is

683
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 4: how I felt about Damian Lillard and the Blazers, Like

684
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 4: I can't be an owner then because I don't understand

685
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 4: how loyalty doesn't matter, how what you've done doesn't matter.

686
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: If that's what business is day.

687
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, I have been the

688
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 4: sol but like he wouldn't. The Patriots wouldn't be here

689
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 4: if it wasn't for what he and Tom Brady.

690
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 2: So because of everything that he did that was great,

691
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 2: does that just mask all of the not great stuff

692
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 2: that he's done after.

693
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, why don't you talk to the San Antonio Spurs

694
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 4: who have not done well at all the last couple

695
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 4: of years and Greg Pop is still there? No questions asked?

696
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 4: Why because there's Is it the right decision?

697
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:29,479
Speaker 2: I don't know.

698
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 4: Well, they just got Victor Wemby, so things might be.

699
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 4: And he looks good. Victor Wean Banyama looks real good.

700
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: That frenchy. I like him. I didn't think he was

701
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 2: gonna be as good as he was spicy. He was spicy.

702
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 2: He was spicy out on the floor. I understand the

703
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: loyalty from a fan's perspective more so than an ownership

704
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 2: business perspective, because fans like you pull your heart and soul.

705
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: You buy their jerseys, you buy the tickets, you're there

706
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: to see them. You literally are obsessed with these players

707
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: as a fanatic. But as an owner of a team

708
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: and as the CEO of a company, you gotta do

709
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: what's best for the company. And right now it's not

710
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 2: good business with that to be losing with that, you

711
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 2: make it what.

712
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 4: But with that the fans, how the fans matter? Yeah,

713
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 4: so like you get rid of somebody. There's still still

714
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 4: business there, getting somebody. The fans are not gonna be

715
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 4: coming for Bill. The fans are coming for the star players.

716
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 2: It's something's gonna change soon. I don't know if it's

717
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: next year or the year after, but something's coming. I

718
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 2: can never be an owner, no, I know. All right,

719
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 2: we're gonna take a quick break here when we come

00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: In highlighting the dues, Oh, I love that. Putting a

739
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: spotlight on the don't.

740
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 2: The subject brings me no joy.

741
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: Don't do that?

742
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:34,440

744
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: I got a lot of dues this week, all right,

745
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 2: and I both. I got both and my first one

746
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: is like a three parter. Okay, do troll the opposing team.

747
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start with the most recent one because it

748
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: was heated. It was beautiful drama that we just had

749
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 2: in the NLDS Phillies after beating the brain wearing at

750
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 2: a boy Harper shirts that say on the on the

751
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: front and on the back it says he wasn't supposed

752
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 2: to hear that. This is my kind of trolling, that

753
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 2: your actions do the talking, and also your shirt do

754
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 2: the talking. Now. We also saw this with Kittle after

755
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: scoring a touchdown, he had the f Dallas shirt under

756
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 2: his jersey that he pulled off to show to the fans.

757
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 5: I love it.

758
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 8: Yeah.

759
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: Here for all of this, find him thirteen thousand dollars.

760
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: That's a quarter for him than league worth. It worth

761
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 2: it what we also saw Sauce Gardner posted a jet's

762
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: country Let's ride after beating Rest in the Broncos. So

763
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 2: I am here for all of this petty trolling. Yeah,

764
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: I'm into it as well.

765
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 4: I am all about when teams do something like when

766
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 4: they get into the postseason, something special, let's say for

767
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 4: the fans. So, I guess Philadelphia is having a Schwarburger.

768
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 3: Did you see the Schwarburger?

769
00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 2: It's not even possible, Tea, Like, this thing is double

770
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 2: of my forearm, like my elbow to my hand.

771
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you haven't seen it, it's like two giant patties.

772
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 4: It looks like bacon, and then it looks like three

773
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 4: onion rings. Then they put the bun and then another

774
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 4: onion ring on top, and they're holding.

775
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 2: It all together.

776
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 4: When Alex says it's the size of reform there, we're

777
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 4: not lying.

778
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: The photo is like, how do you like, how do

779
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: you even approach burger like that? But I'm all have

780
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 2: taken apart. I'm all into shore bombs, shore Burgers. I

781
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 2: love Philly, like I'm really hoping they make it to

782
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 2: the World Series so I can go back, and I can't.

783
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: I love the aggression and the passion from Philly's fans, right,

784
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 2: I agree, you want them to yell at you, like,

785
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: don't yell at me. But we were we like Fox

786
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 2: has like a box. But then we also have some seats.

787
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 2: I was like, I want to sit amongst the crowd, right,

788
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: So I went to sit with this in the seats.

789
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: There was this eight year old boy sitting right in

790
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 2: front of us. Eight years old maybe maybe could be younger,

791
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: standing on his seat, yelling and cussing out the outfielders,

792
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 2: knew every stat everyone's name. The mom's like, sit down, honey,

793
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 2: He's like, no, mom. It was just like eight to eighty.

794
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 2: These fans are on their feet, not on their phone,

795
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 2: so invested in the game. And I'm just I'm here

796
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 2: for all of it. Well, it's like my mom's family's

797
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: from Philly, so I have like those like family ties.

798
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, I can I can adopt that as my

799
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 2: East Coast team right here? For that, that's sure for sure. Okay,

800
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 2: do whatever it takes to motivate you, all right. And

801
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 2: for the Texas Rangers, that is listening to Creed before

802
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 2: the game. Now, apparently they started doing this and they

803
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: were struggling during the middle of the season, they started

804
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 2: playing Creed for pregame and no, what was that? That's

805
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 2: their song be better, do Better, Do Better, And then

806
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 2: they turned their season around, and so they kept it

807
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 2: going during the playoffs. Creed actually like tweeted at the

808
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 2: Rangers and like, let's go. So I'm getting ready for

809
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: a lot of Creed next week.

810
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 4: That's so great because the Creed Really that's what I

811
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 4: love that.

812
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got a don't for you. Okay, listen. I

813
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: get being a fan and your team loses. I get it,

814
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 2: and you're mad.

815
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 4: I don't get fans who grab a jersey and burn it.

816
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, run over it. Not into that.

817
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 4: So the Cowboys loss, and then on Sports Center's Instagram

818
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 4: you saw a fan using Dak Prescott's jersey.

819
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 2: To mop the floor. Don't do that one.

820
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 3: You spent money on that, dummy.

821
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: Also, like that's just these these people are.

822
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 4: They're fiated, but but they're also like entertainers, Like this

823
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 4: is not They're entertaining you and I and like, come on, guys,

824
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 4: don't don't be that type of fan.

825
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah that's rough, all right, real quick, I'm gonna get

826
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 2: in one more do go do give your mom the

827
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: touchdown ball? Okay, Tyreek Hill knew he was gonna get fined,

828
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 2: but his mom wanted to be part of his celebration.

829
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 2: She asked him if he would give him the ball.

830
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 2: After he scored a touchdown, he wait for her to

831
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 2: come down to give her the football. His mom was

832
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 2: also a savage because a guy tried to take it,

833
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: but he ended up handing it back to this mom.

834
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 2: And then Tyreek actually followed up with that guy gave

835
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 2: him an autograph ball because he didn't realize it was

836
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 2: his mom. So it was a win win all around

837
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 2: for Tyreek Hill. Way to go. Yeah, all of that

838
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: that was great. All right. When we come back, we're

839

Speaker 2: But we are in the heat of the postseason, baby,

859
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. I'm taking off tonight, like in a

860
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 2: couple hours here to go cover the ALCS and then

861
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: the World Series. So we're gonna do a whole little

862
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 2: dissection here of the MLB postseason and what a crazy

863
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,479
Speaker 2: everything everything. I'm just gonna say, everything has been crazy.

864
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 4: Couple key points, a couple of.

865
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 2: Key points from the first two rounds. She's dying, but

866
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 2: she's just fine. We're great, We're doing great good, We're

867
00:41:55,400 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 2: doing just forgot to breathe. Okay, three of the four

868
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 2: teams that are now in the CS had ninety win seasons,

869
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: which means the three teams that had one hundred plus

870
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 2: wins this season, they're all out. They went for combined

871
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: one and nine. Baltimore swept so Dodgers swept, terrible Braves

872
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 2: one win. So let's take a moment on these, just

873
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 2: a quick moment on these one hundred plus win teams

874
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 2: and what went wrong. First, of the Braves, you were

875
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: the best team in baseball from one to nine everything, yep,

876
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 2: but they are not great in elimination games in the playoffs.

877
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: One in nine in their last ten elimination games. Offense

878
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 2: didn't show up. Ronald Acunia Junior had the perfect opportunity

879
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 2: in the seventh inning, bases loaded to do something. Something

880
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 2: flew out to a rookie centerfielder that kind of felt

881
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: like the game. They did not show up in the

882
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 2: biggest moments. Plus, he kind of gave the Phillies, a

883
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 2: team that loves to be doubted, extremely strong bulletin board

884
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 2: material when he said out a boy Harper, and they

885
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 2: took it and they ran with it. The Phillies ended

886
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 2: up showing up the next game with its personal coach

887
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 2: prime T shirts.

888
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 4: Yes, they both hit like two.

889
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: Homer stared down as they were rounding the bases, and

890
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: then had the celebration shirts in the clubhouse. After that,

891
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 2: Sad at a boy Harper on the back and he

892
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 2: wasn't supposed to hear that on the back like it

893
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 2: was beautiful. That's we talked about in the dues and

894
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 2: the don'ts. But that is my kind of trolling all

895
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 2: right on to Baltimore. I think the moment was too

896
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 2: big for them. They're an extremely talented team, but they're

897
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 2: still really young. Now they're going to have the experience.

898
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 2: They're gonna have that chip on their shoulder for when

899
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 2: they come back next season, because I do believe that

900
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: they will get back into the postseason. I don't know

901
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 2: if they're gonna win the the Ale East again, because

902
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 2: this is the first time since nineteen ninety five that

903
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: the Yankees or Red Sox were not in the postseason.

904
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 2: So something's gonna like get shooken up in those two

905
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: just legendary franchises to figure figure out what went wrong.

906
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 4: But the Orioles could be proud of themselves. I'm sure

907
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 4: they weren't expected to. But you you have to be

908
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 4: proud of what you did.

909
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

910
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 4: You losing does not have the value as the Doctors

911
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 4: and the Dodgers, not even sort of.

912
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 3: We are talking different chapters of.

913
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 2: A book here.

914
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 5: Yeah.

915
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. So it's like, good job, Orioles. I'm

916
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 2: sure you weren't expecting to go out the way you did.

917
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 2: Flat you know what I'm saying, swept, I mean, yeah,

918
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 2: similar to the Dodgers, though they need pitching. Yeah, like

919
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: the Oriols need to go out and they need to

920
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 2: get an ace. Spend the money, yeah.

921
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 4: Spend the money on your ace, on your other players too, ownership,

922
00:44:58,719 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 4: spend the money.

923
00:44:59,560 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 5: Yeah.

924
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 4: But anyway, I just say, you know they deserve they

925
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 4: did a good job. Yeah, no reason to hold your

926
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 4: head down. You did a good job. Nobody expects you

927
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 4: to be their good job, Orioles.

928
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 2: This next team should have their head down. Yes, the Dodgers. Honestly,

929
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say. It's hard to

930
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 2: explain what happened. They are a regular season dynasty over

931
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 2: the last decade and have choked in the playoffs. Everything

932
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 2: went wrong, Everything went wrong. Pitching was the worst performance

933
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 2: by a starting staff in postseason history, Clayton Kershow's worst

934
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 2: start of his career hitting didn't show up. When your

935
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 2: best players go one for twenty one, Mookie Betts went hitless, hitless,

936
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman one hit. You're not gonna win, especially with

937
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 2: this team in this offense. This is probably the most

938
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 2: important duo on a franchise in baseball. You could argue,

939
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 2: like Ronald Akunya and Matt Olson for the Braves, but

940
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 2: I think the Braves would be completely fun if they

941
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 2: weren't showing up. But the Dodgers, if Mookie Betts and

942
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman, they're number one and number two guy who

943
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 2: are also in the MVP conversation this year, don't show up.

944
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 2: Your team's not gonna win. Yeah, you're not gonna win. Pitching,

945
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: hitting non existent, it'shick man. It just all went bad

946
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 2: for the Dodge.

947
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 3: Everything, everything from the minute they started.

948
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 4: We all know the postseason for some reason, is Kershaw's kryptonite.

949
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 2: He knows it.

950
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if Kershaw has done everything

951
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 4: from talk to every sports psychiatrist therapist, drank some of

952
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 4: that Wayianastika thing that Aaron Rodgers like he's.

953
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 2: Probably tried whatever you got what I was saying exactly nothing,

954
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you nobody. No, you don't get to

955
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 2: chime in over there. Miss said it right right, Ayahuasca.

956
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 2: It's because he's been celebrating the Dodgers, Oh losing, but

957
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 2: over there we got Jim Dancy and yeah, padres it,

958
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 2: I what what can the You were there? Okay, you

959
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 2: were there game. I was there at one of the games,

960
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 2: and I could like, so I was at Dodgers Game

961
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 2: seven and twenty seventeen when they lost to the Astros

962
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 2: in the World Series, and by the second inning, you

963
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 2: could just tell they weren't coming back. They were out

964
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 2: of it. No, like the hitters weren't seeing the ball. Well,

965
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 2: there's just like when you cover baseball and you watch

966
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 2: so many baseball games, you just there's a certain vibe

967
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 2: where you're like, oh this, Like if they go down five,

968
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, they're feeling it today, they're gonna come back.

969
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 2: There was just that feeling in that vibe where it

970
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: was like, oh, they're done, they're gonna lose. Was it

971
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 2: like that? And now you were.

972
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 4: There unless you were at that game, because I was there,

973
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 4: and you're right. It was like the life was sucked

974
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 4: out of that.

975
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 2: I mean before most people were even in their city stadium.

976
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 2: That's the fan base to and this is not just.

977
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 4: The Dodgers, but we're talking about the Dodgers and I'm

978
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 4: a Dodgers fan. The fan base is nothing like the

979
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 4: Phillies fan base. No, immediately, literally after the first inning.

980
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller is not terrible, is not good, but he's

981
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 2: better than Kershaw. It was sucked out. It was just

982
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: like almost like, actually, you know what, I don't even know.

983
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 2: I was sucked out.

984
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 4: I feel like there was no hope from the beginning. Yeah,

985
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 4: from the beginning. It felt like there was no hope already.

986
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,439
Speaker 2: I mean he needed a stadium five runs before he

987
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 2: got his first out. Yeah, it wasn't as bad as

988
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 2: cursh Yeah, No, that's bad. It was as bad as it's.

989
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 4: And I don't I don't want to blame the five

990
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 4: day layoff. That's not like the astros.

991
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 2: Were fine enough. You can't well, you an't blamed that

992
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 2: with pitching. You're pitching. No, pitching doesn't have an excuse

993
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 2: for the bye because you're you have the five day rotation.

994
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 2: It's the hitting. It's the hitting. There is no excuse.

995
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 2: You gotta figure out, have some sim games. Half your

996
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: Triple A team come up play them. I got, but

997
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 2: it's like, dude, you.

998
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 4: Can't just be a regular season player. You're making too

999
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 4: much money. You're making too much money. But I don't

1000
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 4: I don't know. Do you think the league should I'm

1001
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 4: getting ahead of myself, but do you think.

1002
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 2: The league should look at the No, this is it,

1003
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 2: So you got to get used to it. Nothing's like,

1004
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 2: nothing's going to change. This is what it is, and

1005
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 2: you need to figure out and adjust. Bottom line. Put

1006
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 2: the ham bottom line. All right, Let's move on to

1007
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 2: the teams that are still in it. We have the

1008
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 2: NLCS Phillies and the d Backs. Kicks off Monday night

1009
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 2: in Philly. Phillies are back in the NLCS again, and

1010
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 2: we just saw with the Braves and the Phillies series.

1011
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 2: Playing at home is a huge advantage for the Phillies.

1012
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 2: They are fourteen and one in their last fifteen home games,

1013
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 2: fourteen and one in their last fifteen home playoff games.

1014
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 2: That is insane, and they're clicking on all cylinders. Nic

1015
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 2: Castiano's first player in playoff history to have back to

1016
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 2: back multi home run games former Dodger Trey Turner. So

1017
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 2: here's a team you can you can root for. You

1018
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 2: you got Trey, Yeah, first player, sorry for the Phillies

1019
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: last year. And yeah, Phillies playoff history with four hits

1020
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 2: in one game and then Phillies eleven home runs are

1021
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 2: tied for the most in a single series in Phillies'

1022
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 2: playoff history. They welcome the moment. Yeah, and they feed

1023
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 2: off of thee and players doubting them, as I just

1024
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 2: mentioned with RCS saying ada boy Harper and then yeah, look.

1025
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 5: What you did.

1026
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, look at what you did.

1027
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 3: Can we call the whole Phillies team mister October.

1028
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's not one all of that. They all

1029
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 2: show up. They all they're mister October. They all show up.

1030
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 2: It's incredible. Yeah. You know who else showed up? The

1031
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 2: d Backs. Yeah they did. They are the first team

1032
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 2: with eighty four or fewer wins to win four straight

1033
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 2: playoff games in the same postseason. Good for them, the

1034
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 2: Dbacks have Now they're gonna have their work cut out

1035
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 2: for them. This is this is but they're not scared.

1036
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 2: And this is something you said last weekend when we

1037
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 2: were looking ahead to the Dodgers d Back series. They

1038
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 2: create chaos and they don't have the experience. But I

1039
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 2: think not having the experience is helping them because you

1040
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 2: don't know what you don't know.

1041
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 4: Right there, they have nothing to lose, nothing to fear.

1042
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 4: Tory Lavello literally is like, nobody expects us to be here.

1043
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 4: Nobody thinks you were supposed to be there. That's one

1044
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 4: hundred percent true. You have nothing to lose. Kind of

1045
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 4: like the mentality I feel like with the Detroit Lions

1046
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 4: this season, it's like.

1047
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,240
Speaker 2: You guys have been very little loose. There were expectations

1048
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 2: for because of how it ended, but you know, like

1049
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 2: expectations for a team that hasn't been good for a while.

1050
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 4: Right it was like the last they won the last

1051
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 4: six games, so there was a positive expectation, but in.

1052
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 2: All reality, you have nothing to lose.

1053
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 4: That's that's the beauty that the Diamondbacks have. But their

1054
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 4: Cinderella's story, I do think is coming to an end.

1055
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm taking the Phillies in five? Yeah, what are

1056
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 2: you take in? I'm gonna get the d Backs one game?

1057
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 2: I hope, So I have so like, I hope.

1058
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 4: They get one Okay, Yeah, Phillies and five, maybe six

1059
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 4: pick Phillis is six.

1060
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 2: All right, let's move to the ALCS. Let's do Astros

1061
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 2: against Rangers, the battle for Texas and the AL West. Now,

1062
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 2: this is the first time these two teams have ever

1063
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 2: met in the playoffs, which is crazy. I will be

1064
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 2: heading out tonight to cover this series in person tomorrow.

1065
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 2: Let's start with the Astros here, all right, because they

1066
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 2: just clinch their seventh consecutive ALCS appearance, the most of

1067
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 2: all time in the American League. Braves hold that record

1068
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 2: in the National League. But you gotta admit the Astros

1069
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 2: are the most experienced team here in the postseason. Along

1070
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 2: Like over those past seventh straight ALCS appearances, they've won

1071
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 2: two World Series. Again, only two three players were on

1072
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 2: both those teams, but majority of their current roster today

1073
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 2: was on last season's World Series team. They have the experience.

1074
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 2: And you know what, one of those guys that was

1075
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 2: on both of those World Series teams who just happened

1076
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 2: to be back with the Astros this year was Justin Verlander,

1077
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 2: and he gave a legendary speech after the game.

1078
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: Come on, my, this is just one of those seasons.

1079
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 11: You know nothing, We've battled through injuries, we grinded.

1080
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 1: I wasn't even here seventh time, seventh time. All right,

1081
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: don't look at don't take that for granted. On seven

1082
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: E Bay Poppies more.

1083
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,760
Speaker 2: That is crazy because Fox has because we have the

1084
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 2: American League side of the playoffs, we had those in

1085
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 2: clubhouse camera. So Ben, his brother and I were live

1086
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 2: on flipping bats as this was happening, and he's like, yeah,

1087
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be Kyle Tucker. Dusty that's gonna

1088
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 2: do the speech. I was like, yeah, that makes sense

1089
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 2: that all of a sudden, Justin starts talking. It's because

1090
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 2: Dusty just hands the mic to Justin and he goes,

1091
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 2: I'm waiting to give the speech after the World Series.

1092
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 2: You're gonna give this one nice And so that was yeah.

1093
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 2: I mean, they have the experience in the postseason and

1094
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 2: it matters. But we're also getting two legendary World Series

1095
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 2: winning managers facing off. You got Dusty Baker and Bruce

1096
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 2: Bochie also both former San Francisco Giant managers. But both

1097
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 2: these teams have a lot of postseason experience. Obviously different,

1098
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 2: but two of the hottest hitters are in this series

1099
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 2: right now. Jord and Alvarez having one of the best

1100
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 2: offensive postseason performances ever. Corey Seeger, Corey Sieger, you got another.

1101
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 2: So here's your two teams you root for. Yeah, you're

1102
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 2: going to Rangers. You're going Rangers. And obviously, come on,

1103
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 2: I said it when we're talking to a lot. This

1104
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 2: is a coin flip for me. Yeah, what are you

1105
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 2: gonna take?

1106
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 4: I ah, I'm going to take the Rangers.

1107
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 2: Is this because you don't like the astroll part of

1108
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 2: there you go? Are you going with your brain or

1109
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 2: your heart on this?

1110
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 4: I think no, I'm gonna go with my heart a

1111
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 4: little bit, just because I can't.

1112
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 2: It's such a coin flip. It's really going to determine.

1113
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 2: It's gonna be determined if.

1114
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 4: Texas bullpen who has outperformed themselves in the postseason they.

1115
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 2: Have That was kind of like they're i mean all pitching.

1116
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 2: They lost two of their aces this year, right, but

1117
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 2: you know Nathan Valde has been great, Jordan Montgomery. It's

1118
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 2: gonna be the bullpen.

1119
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 4: And because the Astros are such good hitters, all of them,

1120
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 4: all of them, if they can just keep them to

1121
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 4: like a little bit.

1122
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,879
Speaker 2: Of it, because are gonna hit the ball that happen,

1123
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 2: are better on the road, win one of two at home.

1124
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 2: I can see them winning all of them.

1125
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 4: I really think it's gonna They're all it's a coin flip,

1126
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 4: a coin flip, but I'm gonna take I think the

1127
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 4: Rangers could do.

1128
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 2: They haven't lost technically in the postseason yet. Yeah, the Rangers.

1129
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 2: So they got that going for them, got Corey. See,

1130
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't. Yeah, you think you think

1131
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 2: the Astros. I'm taking an Astros in six in six, Yeah,

1132
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:56,919
Speaker 2: it's gonna be it's gonna be close. These are gonna

1133
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 2: be really close games. But I'm gonna take Theers. I

1134
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 2: just don't know how many. Okay, all right, take the Rangers.

1135
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 2: All right? Yeah, but yeah, no, I the Astros. Maybe

1136

00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 4: I just as long as the app the Astros are

1139
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 4: gonna hit, as long as you could just control their

1140
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:16,479
Speaker 4: hitting a little bit.

1141
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 2: Like keep it happen, manage it. It's just not gonna

1142
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 2: happen that sneeze. I don't like admitting it, but like

1143
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 2: at this point, like you gotta they're just so good.

1144
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,279

1190
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, pitch it. Look at you talking baseball while years

1191
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 2: That's okay, get get all I'll hop back on and

1192
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 2: I'll all in from wherever you're at. Yeah, where will

1193
00:58:55,080 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 2: I be from? Maybe Dallas or Houston next Saturday? Exciting? Yeah,

1194
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, that's too far in advance. But

1195
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 2: while we have you here, let's get some NFC North updates.

1196
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 5: Cool?

1197
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 10: Sure, absolutely, okay.

1198
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,959
Speaker 2: Jordan Love has been struggling. Luckily the Packers are running

1199
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 2: by this week, but he only had one hundred and

1200
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 2: eighty two yards in three interceptions in the loss to

1201
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 2: the Raiders on Monday. Do the Packers still think he's

1202
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 2: the quarterback.

1203
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 5: Of the future.

1204
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 10: Absolutely. I was there at the game in Vegas. Yes,

1205
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 10: I was there at the game in Vegas, And what

1206
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 10: struck me was that that was a game plan for

1207
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 10: the Green Bay Packers that looked like it was supposed

1208
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 10: to include Aaron Jones. They're running back, and he was

1209
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 10: the last minute inactive for the green Bay Packers. I

1210
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 10: think they prepared all week like they were gonna be

1211
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 10: able to have him and when they didn't, that just

1212
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 10: kind of threw everything into it tizzy. And I mean

1213
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 10: at halftime. I remember, I think the Green Bay Packers

1214
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 10: three leading receivers were the three tight ends, one of

1215
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 10: which I don't think anybody ever heard of. So it

1216
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 10: was just a discombined, populated kind of mess. But I

1217
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 10: kind of understood it because they were kind of thrown

1218
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,919
Speaker 10: into a situation they didn't expect. That. Being said, Jordan

1219
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 10: Love doesn't really lose his toys at all, which I

1220
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 10: think is one of those intangible things that makes him

1221
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 10: such a good leader, that makes him such a good quarterback.

1222
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 10: You hear about quarterbacks never getting too high and never

1223
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 10: getting too low, and that's Jordan Love to a tea.

1224
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 10: So they absolutely still think he's the guy. They're still

1225
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 10: trying to also figure out their best five on the

1226
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 10: starting offensive line now that David Baktiari is out for

1227
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 10: the year. So this by actually I think came in

1228
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 10: a really good time for the Three Bay Packers. We're

1229
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 10: going to see a better team I think on the

1230
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 10: other side of it.

1231
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 4: All right, Carmen, let's move on to the Vikings. No,

1232
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson for a hot second. All really knows how long.

1233
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 4: Because of this, do you think Kirk Cousins will be

1234
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 4: a Viking by the end of the season.

1235
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 2: We'll also trade deadline October thirty, first trade deadline.

1236
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 10: Also that, Yeah, I don't see the Kirk getting moved

1237
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 10: before the trade deadline because ay, that's pretty soon, and

1238
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 10: b you just don't there's no precedent for seeing a

1239
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 10: starting quarterback moved in the middle of the year. I

1240
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 10: think it would have to be something pretty drastic to happen,

1241
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 10: like an injury to a contenders like starting quarterback, that

1242
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 10: you would need a guy like Kirk Cousins, because Minnesota

1243
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 10: isn't going to part with him, I willingly, I don't

1244
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 10: think at this point. I know that they want to

1245
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 10: get something for him. They're probably going to move on

1246
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 10: from him at the end of the year, especially depending

1247
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 10: on where in the draft order they end up. But

1248
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 10: at the same time, they don't have a good plan.

1249
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 10: B Besides just from Kirk Cousins, Nick Mullens their backup

1250
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 10: quarterback when on IR with Justin Jefferson. So now you

1251
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,919
Speaker 10: have Jaren Hall, who is a rookie, a fifth round

1252
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 10: tick rookie, and then you have Sean Vanyon who's still

1253
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 10: in the league as their number three quarterbacks.

1254
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 2: So you just don't have heard that name in a while, like.

1255
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 10: Right, so you don't have any sort of good options

1256
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 10: besides Kirk Cousins right now. And also, this is what

1257
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 10: a competitive rebuild looks like. That's what Kaisia delfo Mensa,

1258
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 10: their GM said at the beginning of the year, was

1259
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 10: that this was the competitive rebuild. They weren't going to

1260
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 10: tear everything down. And to his credit and to the

1261
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 10: Vikings credit, they have been competitive. They have been in

1262
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 10: one score games this entire year. They've lost now four

1263
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 10: of them, but they won one as well. So this

1264
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 10: is what a competitive rebuild looks like in reality. In practice,

1265
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 10: I think they're toning a little bit for all of

1266
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 10: the luck and the bounces they got last season as well.

1267
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting. Carmen, thank you so much for

1268
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 2: joining us. Yes, have so much fun with Monsey. Yes,

1269
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 2: over the next few weeks. All right, Oh my gosh,

1270
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 2: I have so much fun. Yeah, we're gonna have the best.

1271
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 10: I'm sorry you won't be there, Alex, so I'm glad

1272
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 10: we'll get started.

1273
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 2: I'll call in, Yeah, I'll call it. Yeah, I'll be

1274
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 2: there kind of illiterates. All right, Carmen, have a great

1275
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: NFL Sunday tomorrow and we'll see you soon.

1276
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 10: Thank you guys.

1277
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 2: All right bye. Now let's check in with Brian to

1278
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 2: see what's trending.

1279
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 11: Yes, we do have a lot of college football that

1280
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 11: is going on right now. Number sixteen Utah is on

1281
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 11: top of Cal twenty four to fourteen through three quarters,

1282
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 11: so our attention is on that one. Also regarding the

1283
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 11: Pac twelve that will soon be defunct, it's number seven Washington.

1284
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 11: I had twenty two to eighteen against number eight Oregon

1285
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 11: where Michael Pennix junior, the udub starting quarterback, one hundred

1286
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 11: and eighty yards passing two touchdowns, one interception. They've actually

1287
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 11: just started the third quarter, not quite, but they're getting

1288
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 11: close to doing so, so halftime they are moments away

1289
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 11: from getting the third quarter underway.

1290
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 2: Elsewhere.

1291
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 11: Number six penn State in a laffers I had twenty

1292
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 11: eight to nothing against U. Mass And this is a

1293
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 11: U Mass team that is one in six, So somehow

1294
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 11: they found a way to schedule that game. And it's

1295
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 11: early third quarter there. As far as the completed ones, yeah,

1296
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 11: Number one at Georgia pulverizing Vanderbilt thirty seven to twenty.

1297
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 11: Carson Back, the Bulldog starting quarterback two hundred and sixty

1298
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 11: one yards passing one touchdown and one pick. Number three

1299
01:03:56,480 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 11: Ohio States are roughing up per two forty one to seven.

1300
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 11: Number two in Michigan all over Indiana fifty two to seven,

1301
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 11: and JJ McCarthy the Wolverine signal caller three touchdowns through

1302
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 11: the air. Number four Florida State no issues with Syracuse

1303
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 11: forty one to three, and the Seminoles bust out to

1304
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 11: a six to zero record four and oh one conference

1305
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 11: play under their coach Mike Norvel. And lastly, Arkansas made

1306
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 11: it interesting down the stretch, but they come up just

1307
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 11: short in their hopes of an upset. Number eleven Alabama

1308
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 11: holds off the upset minded Hogs, who dropped a two

1309
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 11: and five after a twenty four to twenty one triumph

1310
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 11: in Tuscaloosa for Nick Saban, who, by the way, picks

1311
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 11: up his two hundredth career win as the Alabama head coach.

1312
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: So they go out.

1313
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 11: To six and one and are still perfect in conference

1314
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 11: play at four and oh. With that, let's get it

1315
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 11: back to Monte Blanios and Alex Curry.

1316
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:59,960

01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 13: this is so awesome and such a true testament. It's

1332
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 13: the girl power we run the world. So yes, it's thrilled.

1333
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 13: It's an honor and a privilege to be joining you.

1334
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 2: I love you. Okay, this is not like good vibes.

1335
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 2: First question though, because you were covering the Dodger sleep,

1336
01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 2: you were there boots on the ground. What was it

1337
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 2: like in the clubhouse and in the stadium after they

1338
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 2: went down.

1339
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 13: To Oh, Alex, I have to tell you it was

1340
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 13: so surreal after that Game two loss in Chavez Ravine.

1341
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 9: Right.

1342
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 13: Normally, in the course of a playoff series, you can

1343
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 13: kind of get a sense from guys when they feel

1344
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 13: like series are out of hand, or you know, following

1345
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 13: consecutive losses, if they're able to bounce back. And for

1346
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 13: the Dodgers, right, the one hundred win Dodgers going into

1347
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 13: that clubhouse after that loss, there was just a quiet

1348
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 13: skill And obviously the guys knew going down two their

1349
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 13: backs were against the wall, But even more I got

1350
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 13: this sense that they didn't really know where to find

1351
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 13: the answers.

1352
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: Right.

1353
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 13: And the first interview I had was with rookie James Autman, Right,

1354
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 13: this is his first postseason. He kind of was at

1355
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 13: a loss for words. And then you head back to

1356
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 13: the season veterans and it's a crowd of people surrounding

1357
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 13: Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman. And I spoke to Freddie

1358
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 13: and I said, you know, when when you're at the plate,

1359
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 13: is there a collective sense of pressing? I mean, yes,

1360
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 13: every batter has their own journey, right, but it is

1361
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 13: that pressing contagious and he kind of shook off that

1362
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 13: thought with me, but then he's like, you know, I

1363
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 13: guess you could look at it that way, that this

1364
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 13: stillness and the inability to produce quality at bats, it's

1365
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 13: almost contagious, and it's something we see not just this postseason,

1366
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 13: but clearly in the last several postseasons. So it's very

1367
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 13: confusing for Dodger fans. Obviously, it's such a thrill during

1368
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 13: the regular season when you've got Mookie Bets and Freddy Freeman,

1369
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 13: you know, at the top of your lineup. But then

1370
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 13: it's like when the failure for production happens time and

1371
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 13: time again when it.

1372
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 10: Matters the most.

1373
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 13: October baseball is supposed to be such a joyous time

1374
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 13: here in LA, it is very frustrating.

1375
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 3: Very very frustrating.

1376
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 2: Nikki, thank yous so much for joining us. I'm going

1377
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 2: to stick with the Dodgers for just a hot second.

1378
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 4: I was their Game two and I was like, man,

1379
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 4: we are swinging at garbage, like I just I don't

1380
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 4: know if it was that they were nervous or what.

1381
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 4: Do you put any blame at all on the five

1382
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 4: days off, don't I.

1383
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 13: Don't think you can look at that as you know

1384
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 13: the reason why they didn't produce and what you just

1385
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 13: said right there, right they were. It seems like they

1386
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 13: were forcing the issue and it looks like it's almost

1387
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 13: like the nerves of the moment, which is so silly

1388
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 13: to say when you're talking about perennial MVP candidates like

1389
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 13: Lukie and Freddy. I do think though, that it is

1390
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 13: something to be assessed with how they show up in

1391
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 13: the playoffs, and manager Dave Roberts spoke about it openly,

1392
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,799
Speaker 13: saying he needs to do a better job of getting

1393
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 13: his guys ready for the moment, which seems which seems

1394
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 13: like you're talking about a team of rookies, right, but

1395
01:08:55,320 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 13: ultimately the Dodgers, you know, shortages of quality starting pictures

1396
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 13: and then you know the offensive production if the Bats

1397
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 13: don't show up to back up, you know, a quality

1398
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 13: outing by the bullpen, and then what are you going

1399
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 13: to do?

1400
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's tough. All right, Well, let's move on

1401
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 2: to the NBA because the season is right around.

1402
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 4: This.

1403
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 13: Let's party panson.

1404
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 2: Let's let's take a deep breath, let's put a smile

1405
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 2: on our face. We heard Lebron say during I think

1406
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 2: it was media day, that this is a d's team,

1407
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,479
Speaker 2: and he got paid this offseason like it's going to be.

1408
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 2: But my question is is Ad really ready to step

1409
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 2: up and take that responsibility and be the guy that

1410
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 2: the Lakers need him to be.

1411
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 13: Alex, I'm so happy you caught onto that messaging right

1412
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 13: because Lebron has made it very clear this is eighty's team,

1413
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 13: this is his town. And it was also something I

1414
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 13: noticed really interesting at the opening press conference from Darvin

1415
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 13: Ham and Rob Malinka when they talked about, you know,

1416
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 13: Ad securing his bag rightfully so, but their message to

1417
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 13: him in those meetings as they entered the off season

1418
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 13: was that we want you to be the hardest worker

1419
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 13: in the gym, and we want you to be the

1420
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 13: de facto leader on this team, which is very interesting

1421
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 13: for me as I wonder how that leadership will take

1422
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 13: form for Anthony Davis on the court. Obviously you see

1423
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 13: it in his defensive effort. I think during the postseason

1424
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 13: we saw some inconsistencies with what he was able to

1425
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 13: produce on offense night in and night out, So maybe

1426
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 13: it's that consistency. He is a you know, I don't

1427
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 13: want to say soft spoken. He's very matter of fact

1428
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 13: with how he feels and he hates losing. He wears

1429
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 13: it on his face. But as the leader of this team,

1430
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 13: and as you watch Lebron still be, you know, a

1431
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,799
Speaker 13: fokesperson for the Purple and goals, how is Anthony Davis

1432
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 13: going to rise to the occasions as the leader and

1433
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 13: the firepower for the Los Angeles Lakers. It's something that

1434
01:10:57,920 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 13: I'm asking as well.

1435
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 11: And I'm also.

1436
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 13: Looking not just at Anthony Davis, but there's been a

1437
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 13: lot of talk about Sangelo Russell and the leadership he

1438
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 13: wants to have. I think vocally as a point guard,

1439
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 13: I am the starting point guard, which he's rightfully earned

1440
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 13: that role. It's going to be fun for Laker fans

1441
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 13: this season because I do think Ad has gotten the

1442
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 13: message that he needs to step up.

1443
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 5: He does.

1444
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's obvious he needs to stay healthy.

1445
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 7: Now.

1446
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,959
Speaker 2: The West is tough, obviously with teams like the Nuggets,

1447
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 2: the Suns, the Warriors. Is this Lakers team a championship roster?

1448
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 13: I love this question because it brings out the young

1449
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,679
Speaker 13: Laker fan in me. Right, we grew up in southern

1450
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 13: California and the dominance of the Purple and Gold is

1451
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 13: it's something to be so proud of and I'm the

1452
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 13: first to be critical, but what I do think is

1453
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 13: when you look at what the Lakers accomplished with that

1454
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 13: run to the Western Conference Finals on limited time to

1455
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 13: build chemistry last season, and then you roll that over

1456
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 13: into this season, right, there is continuity. Now the guys

1457
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 13: have had time to work together even when the new faces,

1458
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 13: and I love what the front office did this off season.

1459
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 13: They got younger, they got more athletics, they brought in

1460
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 13: more shooting, and now you add in all those factors

1461
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 13: and then you give it that foundation of a Western

1462
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 13: Conference Finals run. I have to say it, I do

1463
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 13: think this is a championship caliber team because especially whenever

1464
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 13: you have the names Lebron Davis James and Anthony Davis

1465
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 13: on your roster. I mean, you're always saying there's a chance, right.

1466
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 5: But I'm really a chance.

1467
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:38,600
Speaker 13: Oh oh, I'm saying there's a chance. But yes, as

1468
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 13: you mentioned, the West is stacked. I'm really really thrilled

1469
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 13: for the drama that we're going to see play out

1470
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 13: just competition wise in the NBA this year.

1471
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Alex you forgot to mention the Clippers. Yeah,

1472
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 4: but roots for the other team, Yes, we're going to

1473
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 4: We're going to about Lob City. I know we haven't

1474
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 4: been called lob City in a decade. I can't That's

1475
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 4: the name of one of my fantasy leagues, lop City,

1476
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 4: because I can't get over it. I love it so

1477
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 4: over under Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are gonna play

1478
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 4: more than what three and a half games.

1479
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding.

1480
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 4: I'm just kidding together, yeah, together at the same time.

1481
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. I really want to.

1482
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:21,640
Speaker 4: I believe that Russell Westbrook can actually be one of

1483
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 4: the X factors.

1484
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 2: For the Clippers. Am I crazy to think that?

1485
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 13: No, And you're talking to a UCLA bruin. So and

1486
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 13: I covered Russell when he was in Oklahoma City.

1487
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:32,719
Speaker 5: So I've watched.

1488
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:36,759
Speaker 13: I've watched the dedication and passion with which he commits

1489
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 13: to the game night and night.

1490
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 2: And you know, his.

1491
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 13: Relationship with media can sometimes be, you know, criticized, but

1492
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 13: the teammate he is. Everyone who shares a locker with

1493
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 13: him absolutely raves about him. And you've already seen it.

1494
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 13: I mean, this is his first training camp with the Clippers,

1495
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 13: right he came in.

1496
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 10: He got the guys all.

1497
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 13: iPhones and what I love about his presence, not just

1498
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:02,639
Speaker 13: as a regular season force, because you know, whether Kawhi

1499
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 13: or PG miss games, we know Russell's going to show up.

1500
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 13: I also love that he is going to be the

1501
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 13: vocal leader that Kawhi Leonard won't be right, and so

1502
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 13: I think this is really a great role for us

1503
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 13: in his hometown. It might not have been the Colors

1504
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 13: he grew up rooting for. And I did speak to

1505
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 13: someone who was with the team in Hawaii at training

1506
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 13: camp and he said, you know what, right now, chemistry

1507
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,679
Speaker 13: is great, vibes are great, the effort from the guys

1508
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 13: has been one hundred and right now. He assessed the

1509
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:35,680
Speaker 13: team maybe a little bit further ahead defensively than they

1510
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 13: were offensively. But the Clippers and what Steve Balmer has

1511
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 13: done since bringing, you know, since taking ownership of this team,

1512
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 13: is he's really done a good job of making them

1513
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,719
Speaker 13: bringing in versatility. And then when you've got the star

1514
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 13: power names like Kawhi, Paul and Russell's, it's going to

1515
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 13: be very intriguing. And I do think Westbrook's presence in

1516
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:00,759
Speaker 13: that locker room is going to be a plus factor.

1517
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 2: And he's got that chip on his shoulder being back

1518
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 2: way but not in the bright spotlight of the Lakers,

1519
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:09,599
Speaker 2: so it could work out for him. Nikki, I love

1520
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 2: you so much, subtle job, thank you for coming on.

1521
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 2: Let's do it again.

1522
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 7: Such a pleasure.

1523
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 13: Thanks for for being trailblazers in your own right, ladies,

1524
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,720
Speaker 13: Thank you. We October is the best months of the

1525
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 13: sports here, I say, travels and I can't wait for

1526
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 13: more dancing videos on field across America.

1527
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 2: Deal, Okay, I'll blast you all with it. It'll be fun,

1528
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 2: all right, much love you guys. All right, we're gonna

1529
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:41,559

1563
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 5: All right, Well, let's head into this week. The Cowboys,

1564
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 5: who are favored by two and a half, are at

1565
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:18,280
Speaker 5: the Chargers.

1566
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys at Chargers.

1567
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 2: And it's another primetime game for the Cowboys Monday night, football. Now.

1568
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 2: Cowboys are dealing with a lot of injuries. Okay, they

1569
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:29,639
Speaker 2: got thirteen guys on the injury report right now, which

1570
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:31,640
Speaker 2: is a typical thing that happens after you play the

1571
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers because it's an extremely physical game. They're

1572
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:41,720
Speaker 2: coming off an extremely embarrassing loss last Sunday. But I'm

1573
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 2: gonna take the Chargers. I'm gonna take get Chargers here.

1574
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 2: Austin Eckler's likely to come back, Herbert is dealing with

1575
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 2: a little something. They might not have join bosat. But

1576
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 2: I'm still gonna take the Chargers.

1577
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 4: I'm taking the Chargers even though everybody at so far

1578
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 4: is gonna be a Cowboys fan.

1579
01:17:56,960 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 2: Oh, it's gonna be a Chargers win, all Cowboys fans,

1580
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:03,720
Speaker 2: all right, We're taking the Chargers. Yeah, all right.

1581
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 5: Looking ahead, we have the Lions favored by three at

1582
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 5: the Buccaneers.

1583
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 2: Both teams are first, yeah in their division. Lions feel

1584
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:17,120
Speaker 2: like the real deal here, Lions. Uh yeah. Lions offense

1585
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,800
Speaker 2: is fourth in points per game, sixth in yards per game.

1586
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,440
Speaker 2: And even though Baker Mayfield is having this like re

1587
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 2: resurgence in Tampa, Bucks offense is not doing that right.

1588
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna take the Lions here, I also have

1589
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 2: the Lion. The Lions need to beat a good team.

1590
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 2: They have to They have to win this one.

1591
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 4: Like that sounds crazy to put this much pressure on

1592
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 4: them in this game, but they really do need to

1593
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 4: win this one.

1594
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have to or else question the question?

1595
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah above. The offense is tied for twentieth

1596
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 2: in points per game and twenty twenty second in yards

1597
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 2: per game, so it's not as they're not playing a

1598
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 2: strong offense. Yes, should be able to outscore them. Yeah,

1599
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:57,720
Speaker 2: I'm with you. They say the Lions need to win

1600
01:18:57,800 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 2: in Tampa.

1601
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:01,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, let's looked to Cincinnati, where we have

1602
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 5: the Bengals favored by two and a half against the

1603
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 5: Seattle Seahawks.

1604
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 1: Seahawks at Bengals.

1605
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 2: Was a nice a nice win last week. Three touchdowns

1606
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 2: a week or a season. Seriously, they went to their

1607
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 2: last three after starting the season zero to two. They

1608
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 2: also started last season two and three before winning ten

1609
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:25,679
Speaker 2: of the final eleven games. They're saying Joe Burrow's finally healthy.

1610
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:28,720
Speaker 2: I mean, who knows He's coming off his best game

1611
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 2: of the season, which is not saying too much here.

1612
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take the Bengals where I don't like this answer,

1613
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 4: but I'm taking the Bengals.

1614
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't like it. Okay, I don't like it.

1615
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 2: I'm taking things all right.

1616
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 5: All right. Our final game is going to be the

1617
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 5: Colts at the Jaguars. Jaguars favored by four and a

1618
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 5: half coming off the London stint.

1619
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:52,800
Speaker 2: Colt said, Jaguars, I mean they had Jacks are coming

1620
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 2: off two games in London. They could be dealing with

1621
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 2: a little jet like. They even admitted they're worried about

1622
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 2: the London hangover. Colts of Gardner Minshew that it's going

1623
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 2: to start for it, injured Anthony Richardson. I don't think

1624
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 2: it's that big of a difference. I'm going to take

1625
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 2: the Cults. Oh, I'm taking the Jaguar. Ee okay, almost

1626
