00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 2: of the Day is always brought to you by Benini America,

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of the program Football Tonight, you

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: got the Lions getting four and a half against the

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: Ravens as both teams come in one in one poll question,

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: let's wrap up the first hour of their seating and

13
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: turner attention to hour two.

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got up there. The game that's going to

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 4: come back to haunt you in the NFL. Okay, your

16
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 4: four options on that are Falcons, Panthers, Broncos, Chargers, Packers,

17
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 4: Browns or Rams Eagles. Right now, Packers Browns have about

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 4: forty one percent of that vote, which is interesting too

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 4: because that might end up costing the Browns the for

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 4: number one overall pick.

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: I don't know there's some competition there for worst team

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 2: in football? Yeah, you know, I mean the Saints are there,

23
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: Titans are there, Brown's are there, Pauli.

24
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: The current draft order is.

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 5: I'm so glad you asked. I went to tankathon dot com.

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 5: There's a lot of teams in the mix, a bunch

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 5: of oher and three teams. So based off strength of schedule,

28
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 5: the draft today would be Jets, Saints, Titans, Dolphins, Giants.

29
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Giants, when do you ease Jackson Dart

30
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: into the starting lineup?

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 3: Can you ease him in?

32
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: You host the Chargers coming up, and then you go

33
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: to New Orleans, then you have the Eagles, and then

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: you're at Denver. So there's no easing in unless you

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: ease him in at New Orleans. If that's going to

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: be the case, and it probably will be because Russ

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: had some throws last night where things that make you

38
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: go hmmm. The Bengals situation, the Bengals make a move

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: for Kirk Cousins after what we've seen from Jake Browning

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: the last two weeks. They've got Denver, they've got Detroit,

41
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: they've got the Packers, They've got the Steelers. So these

42
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: are four teams that they're probably not going maybe they

43
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: win one of those games, But do you make a

44
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: move for Kirk Cousins Because Jake Glazer, I think had

45
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: an update on Joe Burrow that best case scenario, he

46
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: would be back by the end of the regular season,

47
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: best case, but I think you probably have to look

48
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: at the playoffs and they're not going to be in

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So that's why if this is just a

50
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: lost season, if Jake Browning continues to throw it to

51
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: the opposition like he did yesterday with Minnesota. Now, I'm

52
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: not surprised Minnesota's defense teed off on him because that's

53
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: what Minnesota and Brian Flores they are known to do,

54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 2: and they certainly took it. You know, they didn't have

55
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: to lean on Carson Wentz for anything, just like go

56
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: out there and play the position.

57
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: Don't do anything stupid.

58
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: But but Jake Browning, they went after him and made

59
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: him pay. All right, pull question for hour two seedon.

60
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: What's it going to be?

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 4: I think right now we're looking at win of the weekend.

62
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 4: You're Indiana Hoosiers, Chargers, Bears, Panthers, others neither neither.

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 3: Well are we looking at the Browns? Is a great win?

64
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 6: I mean they're not included in it.

65
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: Are they happy they won that game?

66
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 6: In some respects?

67
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: Yes, But you know the overall front office game plan.

68
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: Do they want to win those games? Marvin?

69
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 7: The players are happy, oh yeah, yeah yeah, the front

70
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 7: office is furious.

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 8: We're supposed to get Arch and Nick Saban Arch.

72
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: Yeah and Nick Saban. Yeah.

73
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: Arch had a really good game against sam Houston State. Yeah,

74
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: that'll quiet his critics. That's right, Yeah, that's right. He

75
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: scores a four yard touchdown run and you would have thought,

76
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I've seen backup dancers with Jalo who have

77
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: less enthusiasm than he did.

78
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: He was he was going crazy.

79
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, you just scored on Sam Houston State,

80
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: not Ohio State. And it's staring down the defensive back

81
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: and running along the sidelines. I think after the game

82
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: he did say his mom was going to be upset

83
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: with him. Now, I don't know how that's not taunting.

84
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: They called it swag. I go, that's not swag. That's taunting.

85
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

86
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: See, well it's that taunting when your last name is

87
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 4: Manning and you play for Texas. For sure, those are

88
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: two a little just wink at that. Don't worry about it.

89
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 3: You know what, don't you do? Horns down?

90
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: That's fifteen uhy?

91
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 6: I hate that.

92
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: I feel like though if there was a fella who

93
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 4: kind of needed a moment this, maybe let some stress out.

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 4: Maybe it was arch Manning in that in that instant,

95
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: I understand it, but it's still Sam Houston.

96
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 9: It is.

97
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 6: It's lame.

98
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: I get it, but he has been under fire a

99
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 4: little bit, and I bet that felt pretty good.

100
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 7: Yes, Marvin, just to repeat with seat and said, man,

101
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 7: you run somebody over and it doesn't matter who it is.

102
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 7: You get in the end zone. You're pumped up, no

103
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 7: matter who you're playing against. You're not looking at the

104
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 7: uniform you're looking at you got into the end zone. Hey,

105
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 7: big run. I don't agree with it. They called it swag.

106
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 7: I was like, that's not that's not gold hunting. Yes, ton, because.

107
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 10: That's how you gonna take that critics. Look what I

108
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 10: did dot dot dot against sam Houston State. You have

109
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 10: to got to put in the end of that sense.

110
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: Yes, Paulie, the entire state of sam Houston is upset.

111
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: I'm sure, damn it.

112
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 5: Uh Texas next week at Florida, then they host Oklahoma

113
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 5: h October eleventh.

114
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: Okay, still time to right the ship. Okay, Okay, So

115
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: we got football coming up tonight. We talked about the Eagles,

116
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: the Rams. That felt like that was one and a

117
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: half Losses Chargers over the Broncos, quietly winning three consecutive

118
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: divisional games. The Packers, you know, that's one of those

119
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: where you keep a team in it and then you

120
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: pay the price. That's all that was. You got to

121
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: put them away and a bad throw by Jordan Love

122
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: and then you know, the Browns were like, all right,

123
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 2: if you're not gonna win it, then we'll win it.

124
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 3: Here we go. Bucks over the Jets.

125
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: Even so, Paulie sends a text, so they block a kick,

126
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: they scored touchdown, and all of a sudden, the Jets

127
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: are going to win this game. And then Paulie goes,

128
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 2: you know, I love Baker in the Bucks, but I'm

129
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: rooting for the Jets. And then I knew as soon

130
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 2: as he sent it that they were going to lose.

131
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 2: It's like, I just Baker's gonna go down the field,

132
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: They're gonna kick it, and then they're gonna win the game.

133
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: Exactly what happened the Titans. That is not a pretty picture. Now,

134
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: I didn't know what to expect from them, but I

135
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 2: expect a little more than that. The Falcons as well,

136
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 2: that was shocking that you lose, and you lose thirty

137
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: to nothing to the Panthers.

138
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: It's almost impossible to get shut out. I mean it's

139
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: field goals are so easy. But I'm thinking you didn't score, yes, Marvin.

140
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 7: Especially with that team. They're not like the Titans. The

141
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 7: Titans are bad and born. I got Bijeon, Kyle Pitts,

142
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 7: Drake London. I can't get close to kick.

143
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 10: A field goal, yes, Ud and the Falcons were one

144
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 10: of those teams that people were kind of falling in

145
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 10: love with in the preseason, like Denver, Atlanta Tos.

146
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 8: Certain teams are like watch out for these guys. This year, I.

147
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: Watch a lot of the Bears and the Cowboys, and

148
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: I kept thinking, Okay, this guy got sacked sixty eight

149
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: times last year and they're not even putting a hand

150
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: on him. They didn't sack Caleb Williams once, and then

151
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: you pay those defensive backs Bland and Digs and every

152
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: time Caleb wanted to throw deep, they were able to

153
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: throw deep. They hit him once, but they didn't have

154
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: any sacks. And I mean, I expect the Bears to

155
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: be aggressive on offense, good on offense. I didn't think

156
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: that their defense would be that bad because Dallas did. Dallas,

157
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: you know, was able to do what they wanted to do.

158
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: Dak just had a couple of interceptions there. But I

159
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: still came away from that game going I have no idea.

160
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: I have no idea if the Bears are a six

161
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: win team or a nine win team. Same with Dallas,

162
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: I have no idea when you're watching them, and they

163
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: could have used a pass rusher in that game.

164
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: Yes, it does.

165
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 5: Feel like Dallas has to score thirty five a game

166
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 5: to be in any game and can't afford even you know,

167
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 5: running ceedee Lamb. It's a dangerous play as but you

168
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 5: lose him in the first first quarter, it's really over

169
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 5: because you need a shootout.

170
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: A couple of phone calls in here, Best and Words

171
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: to the weekend. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk has

172
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: a new book out. His latest novel, Big Sheield. It's

173
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: a tale of gambling, the mob, and a pro football

174
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: league that Mike says is definitely definitely not the NFL

175
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: unless you want it to be. We'll have Mike joining

176
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: us coming up. Dan and Ohio leads us off second hour,

177
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: Best and Worst of the Weekend.

178
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 11: Dan Hey just here to represent Qualcom.

179
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 12: I'm kidding.

180
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 11: Two best of the weekend. Just got my five month

181
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 11: chip for sobriety, inspired partly by Seaton. And the second

182
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 11: best was the first hour window or the one o'clock

183
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 11: window of the games. That was just phenomenal. Worst of

184
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 11: the weekend, well at least my Steelers one, but it

185
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 11: took five turnovers to get that done.

186
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 6: Man.

187
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 11: Also, those Browns uniforms were just correndous.

188
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: I agree because I love the original Cleveland Browns uniforms.

189
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: They don't have to do anything different fancy. But Seaton

190
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: was an outlier. He's he was all in on the

191
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: Brown's uniforms there.

192
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they look good.

193
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like them.

194
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: I thought I was watching the Falcons when I first

195
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: looked at them, and they're kind of and they looked dark,

196
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: they almost look black. And then you had the orange

197
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: uniform jerseys.

198
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: Yes, seton that is one of those is it is

199
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 4: it dark brown or is it black kind of things?

200
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 6: To me, it looks it looks brown. Muh, And I

201
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 6: like that.

202
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: But they have great uniforms they don't need. Cleveland Brown's

203
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: uniform is sort of like Penn State. You know, some

204
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: of these other places where you don't have to do anything,

205
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: you don't have to change anything.

206
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 8: There.

207
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: Tampa couldn't lose yesterday with those uniforms like they you

208
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: look too good, you can't lose.

209
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: I would wear that to the met ball and the

210
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 3: gala like that.

211
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: I would if I was Baker Mayfield and they were

212
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: gonna invite me, I'd just wear my uniform and just say, yeah,

213
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: how about this?

214
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: Who were you wearing?

215
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 8: Creamsicle?

216
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: Yeah? Gus in La, Hi, Gus, what's on your mind today?

217
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 13: Good morning, mister Patricks. Hope you and the boys had

218
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 13: a great weekend. Hey man, what a weekend for sports.

219
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 13: I'm telling that. I mean, like just like you know,

220
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 13: my previous guy just said that one o'clock window was phenomenal.

221
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: Great, loved it my.

222
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 13: Steelers, hey man, wins to winning. The offense forgot to

223
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 13: get on the bus. The defense brought the game. Hey,

224
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 13: I'll take a win to win. At least. I'm out

225
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 13: a ram Center Pakistan today, so I could go with

226
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 13: the best of the weekend be in the NFL and

227
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 13: my Trojan's winning. But let's go back to Friday night.

228
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 13: Clayton Edward kershot with the curtain call you know, I

229
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 13: find it me personally to be very privileged whenever you're

230
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 13: able to be in the window of a generational talent,

231
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 13: to see the beginning, the inception of it, and all

232
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 13: the way to the end. And that's what I've been

233
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 13: able to watch with Clayton Kersh all the entire time

234
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 13: and fraid to finally come to an end on Friday

235
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 13: night with something to be behold of. Loved it. It

236
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 13: was great. Not a dry eye in the house. Awesome.

237
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 13: I'm a lucky at Dodger fanis morning. You boys have a.

238
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: Great week, all right, Gus, Thank you.

239
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fortunate that having been in this business for

240
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: forty years that you see somebody starting their career and

241
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: that could be in college, and then I've been around

242
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 2: for all of these careers start to finish and very lucky.

243
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 2: And Clayton Kershaw go out with a strikeout regular season

244
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: at home. Then he brought his kids out. They dug

245
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: up the pitchers mound and took the rubber with them.

246
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: They had like an axe out there, pick axe out there,

247
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: hammered away and taking that out of there.

248
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 3: Let's see Keith and Chico, welcome back.

249
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 14: Keith, Hey, good morning, guys, I got a couple of

250
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 14: bests of the weekend and the worst. The Indiana Hoosiers

251
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 14: football team putting up six on a ranked Illinois team

252
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 14: was pretty impressive, and the other being.

253
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 15: Texas Tech football getting their win over Utah. Seeing the

254
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 15: Red Raiders being relevant again brings me back to the

255
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 15: Mike Leach days over at Texas Tech. Worst of the

256
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 15: weekend what happened to the Falcons and Michael Pennix? A

257
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 15: shutout against the Panthers is not a good look for them.

258
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 14: Dan have a great day, guys.

259
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, got benched. But I wonder if you're the Falcons,

260
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: you got to be all in with Michael Pennix. But

261
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: if the Bengals call, would you trade him? And it

262
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: probably all asked Mike Florio about that because there's you know,

263
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: there's money involved in that and who's going to pick

264
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: up what part of that salary? There?

265
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: Zach and Knoxville. Hi, Zach, what's on your mind today?

266
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 16: Heydp, thanks for taking my call? Best of the two

267
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 16: best of the weekend. Best was going viral on the

268
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 16: DP Show Friday with my Name's Question? And another best

269
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 16: of the weekend. Since I had a grandfather who loved

270
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 16: what he hates. Anytime Clemson stumbles and looks like cheeks,

271
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 16: then yeah, that is something I'm all on board with.

272
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 16: And Lewis Ritick was talking about how Bill Belichick and

273
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 16: Dion you know, are both using the portal and it's

274
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 16: not working to their favor. But I would argue that

275
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 16: Clemson is where those two programs are trying to get

276
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 16: to and because of that, Clemson should be able to

277
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 16: use the portal to its advantage based off of their

278
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 16: national championship credit, pedigree and the resources that they have.

279
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: Well, I agree with you, Zach. You know this isn't

280
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: an overhaul with Clemson. Clemson should be able to pick

281
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: and choose. Now, maybe you get seven to ten players,

282
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: but make sure you don't miss on those guys. North

283
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: Carolina they got seventy players. Dion had a similar turnover there.

284
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: That's really hard to say. All right, now, let's get

285
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: together limited practice time and go out there and be

286
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: good right away. Clemson's in a different position. There are

287
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: certain teams Alabama, you know, it's just different. You pick

288
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: and choose who you want they want to come play

289
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: for you. You have to decide if you want them

290
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: to play for you, this isn't an overhaul, but this

291
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: is making sure. But Lewis Ridick, who did the game,

292
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: said this was really about the team not being prepared

293
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: to play like that's on the coach. Syracuse was ready

294
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: to play Clemson. According to Lewis Ritick, who was there

295
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: on the call. He said, they just didn't seem like

296
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: they were ready to play. And this following a press

297
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: conference where you had Dabosweeney calling out the media for,

298
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: you know, questioning his resume. I thought that they were

299
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: going to come out and it was going to be

300
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: one of those, you know, fifty to seventeen type games,

301
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: and it didn't go well, didn't go as scripted. Even

302
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: North Carolina I'm watching that. Ah man, it's not a

303
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: good situation. Who's North Carolina got next? They got Florida

304
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: State next.

305
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: They got a tough.

306
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: Game I think coming up next? Oh, Clemson. Doesn't North

307
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: Carolina play Clemson?

308
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: I think that's do we have that? Yeah? Two weeks?

309
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: All two weeks? Oh great, so you get to simmer

310
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: with embarrassment. Are both teams off for two weeks?

311
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 9: Yes?

312
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Well, Belichick's girlfriend look great with her

313
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: knee high boots on on the sidelines there in a

314
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: mini skirt. In a million years, if you say, hey, Belichick,

315
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: he's gonna be on the sidelines and his girlfriend's going

316
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: to be there in a miniskirt and knee high boots.

317
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: I go, uh and what alternate universe? Yes, Todd, it's

318
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: in Chapel Hill at.

319
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 10: Least October fourth, So maybe a little home field advantage

320
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 10: or does that never really exist?

321
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: But that could be even worse if you get, you know,

322
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: rough up at home. All right, let me take a break.

363
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: DP show Best and Worst of the weekend Mike Florio

364
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 2: Pro Football Talk Live co host, and you'll find him

365
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: on Football Night in America. His latest novel once again.

366
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 2: It's a novel called Big Shield. It's a tale of gambling,

367
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 2: the mob, and pro football league that is definitely not

368
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 2: the NFL. The e book is available on Amazon for

369
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: only ninety nine cents. Have you heard from the NFL

370
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 2: at all about this book that's not supposed to be

371
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: based on the NFL?

372
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 18: Not yet?

373
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 3: Okay, not yet?

374
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 18: And I think their approach will be just ignore it

375
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 18: and hope it goes away, and let's not make this

376
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 18: into a thing. As you were doing the read though,

377
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 18: it struck me because we don't have an audio book yet,

378
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 18: and I think that people would expect me to do

379
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 18: it despite the very annoying voice that I possessed. Would

380
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 18: you like it? Could we work something out? Would you

381
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 18: like to do the audio book?

382
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 3: I think that would How many pages?

383
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 18: It's four hundred people? No, no, no, how about are

384
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 18: you going to do a chapter?

385
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 3: How about I do a chapter?

386
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 18: We do a chapter, and we make that the sample

387
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 18: and then we do the bait and switch, so they

388
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 18: think it's your voice and then when they get it,

389
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 18: they're like, oh, no, it's him.

390
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 2: I've done it before, and it's a lot of work.

391
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 2: I had to do it in segments where I'd come

392
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 2: in for a day and do three hours, and then

393
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: wait five days and come in and do it, you know,

394
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: because it really it's tough on your voice to be

395
00:19:59,160 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: able to do that.

396
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 18: My agent's been negotiating deals for me to do the

397
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 18: audio version of my three prior novels, and this went in.

398
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 18: In theory it sounds good, but no, yeah, in practice,

399
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 18: it's probably going to be an all day thing, frustrating, annoying.

400
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 18: You got to get it just right. Oh I got

401
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 18: a word wrong. I go back and do that again.

402
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 18: So yeah, Fritzie, Well, the offers open if you want

403
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 18: to do it.

404
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Fritzie just said that he volunteered. Okay, yet he'd

405
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: be happy to do that when.

406
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 8: We come back. Chapter three.

407
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 18: This is the.

408
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 8: Sealed on Amazon.

409
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: I little Kevin Harland there, all right. You wouldn't be

410
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 2: able to keep up that energy.

411
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 8: Definitely not.

412
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: No, okay, you talk about gambling and I'm watching the

413
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 2: Eagles Rams game.

414
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 18: I know exactly where you're going, Jordan Davis. And here's

415
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 18: the reality. This is the direct result of the NFL

416
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 18: going from hating and shunning anything to do with gambling

417
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 18: to jumping right in bed and loading the pockets. They're

418
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 18: the guy in the you know the old game show

419
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 18: where you go into the booth where the money's flying everywhere.

420
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 18: They're just grabbing as many dollars as they can while

421
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 18: it's there. But yeah, we're all aware now of the

422
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 18: points spread, We're all aware of the ramifications and how

423
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 18: many millions of dollars changed hands because Jordan Davis decided

424
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 18: to do not the smart thing. The smart thing. The

425
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 18: game's over, just fall down. You got to win because

426
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 18: in theory, somebody comes up from behind. Does the don

427
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 18: beebe to leon, Let the ball goes out, the rams

428
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 18: take the other way. The smart thing to do is

429
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 18: go down. He runs it in for a touchdown, the

430
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 18: Eagles cover. Oh, and it was perfectly legitimate. But when

431
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 18: you open Pandora's box, this is the kind of stuff

432
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 18: that flies out and people are aware of this. So

433
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 18: it's just part of the stuff the NFL needs to

434
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 18: be concerned about. And sometimes I wonder Dan, Are they

435
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 18: as concerned as they should be?

436
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: What change though with Roger Goodell? Because everybody was against

437
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: gambling and then all of a sudden something changed.

438
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 18: Well, they were holding the rope as tightly as they

439
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 18: could against gambling when difference states were trying to challenge

440
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 18: the federal law from nineteen ninety two that basically said

441
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 18: no states other than the states that currently have it

442
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 18: Nevada can have sports wagering, and that became different levels

443
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 18: and types of legal challenges until New Jersey finally won.

444
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 18: But back in the days when the NFL was actively

445
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 18: fighting it, that's when the commissioner would say, for example,

446
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 18: when I'm paraphrasing, but if legalized gambling is widespread, normal

447
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 18: incidents of the game will be suspected to have been

448
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 18: influenced by other things, like, you know, whether it's a

449
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 18: bad call or a guy not going down, when basic

450
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 18: football expectations would be you've won the game, go down.

451
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 18: But the normal incidents of the game become fodder for

452
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 18: the fixes in and once they recognized, I believe how

453
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 18: much money could be made. And the one thing that

454
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 18: never gets talked about is the fact that owners are

455
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 18: allowed to separately own up to five percent of a

456
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 18: company that operates a sports book. And they won't tell

457
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 18: you who owns what, but they're allowed to be the

458
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 18: house too. They don't just have the sponsorships with all

459
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 18: the major sports books. The owners individually can own up

460
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 18: to five percent of companies that operate sports books. That's

461
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 18: where the money is. So it's always followed the money.

462
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 18: And I'm not I'm a capitalist. I'm not saying it's wrong,

463
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 18: but that's what happened. They realized, you know what, we've

464
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 18: hated this, we fought against it. If it's going to

465
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 18: be inevitable, let's turn it into a revenue stream. And

466
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 18: they've turned it into a massive revenue stream.

467
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: I hear and I read conflicting reports on the Toushbush.

468
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 2: Is it going to survive? Like it'll survive this season,

469
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 2: but then next season? And I thought when Dean Blandino

470
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 2: live during a broadcast said I give up. I don't

471
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: know how to officiate this play, and I thought, that's

472
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 2: the out for the NFL because the safety numbers aren't there.

473
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: This is about we can't call this. I don't know

474
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 2: how you can't call somebody when the guards move on

475
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: the Eagles offensive line that's easy to call, spotting the

476
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: football is still a challenge on that play.

477
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: Is it back next year?

478
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 18: I think right now the wind is blowing in the

479
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 18: direction that it won't be and the moment, I believe

480
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 18: based on everything I've seen, everything I've heard, and just

481
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 18: my own kind of like what's really going on here

482
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 18: in the NFC Championship when Frankie Louvou of the Commanders

483
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 18: repeatedly jumped offside to the point where the referee threatened

484
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 18: the Eagles with what would are the Commanders? Excuse me?

485
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 18: With what would be called a palpably unfair act, and

486
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 18: we're just going to give the Eagles the touchdown. That's

487
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 18: never happened, for it's in the rule book, but it's

488
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 18: never happened. I think the commissioner watching that game, and

489
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 18: I'm assuming it was him, because he's got the power

490
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 18: to make these dominoes fall if he wants. I think

491
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 18: he saw that and he said, we can't have this.

492
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 18: We just can't have this. So it was that week

493
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 18: Mike Pereira was appearing somewhere and said that that moment

494
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 18: could be basically the death noell of the tush push.

495
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 18: It's like, wait, a minute, Wait a minute, the effort

496
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 18: to stop it, because the to stop it goes to

497
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 18: those extremes. They're just going to get rid of the play.

498
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 18: But then we saw what happened, and it's been one

499
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 18: straw man after another. Oh, it's a safety risk. The

500
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 18: data doesn't back it up. Well, it doesn't look like football.

501
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 18: Well what the hell does that mean? And now Dan,

502
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 18: I think you've hit on it. It's going to be

503
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 18: we just can't officiate it. We just can't officiate it.

504
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 18: And I was told yesterday, Look, it's an extremely difficult

505
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 18: played to officiate. And this is what the membership voted for.

506
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 18: And I think that's the attitude of the league office.

507
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 18: I think the league office generally like to get rid

508
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 18: of it. They were two votes short, sixty eight percent

509
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 18: of the team's voted to get rid of it, to

510
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 18: vote short to get the seventy five percent. And I

511
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 18: think once the season ends there's going to be some

512
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 18: arm twisting to get from twenty two to ten to

513
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 18: twenty four to eight and get rid of it.

514
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: But the Eagles are still going to be successful.

515
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 18: It's still going to run a quarterback sneak that you

516
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 18: can't stop. And the guards are still going to leave early.

517
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 18: But there's just something about that play being the symbol

518
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 18: and the thing. And you're right, it's not going to

519
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 18: change the effectiveness of having a quarterback who can squad

520
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 18: five hundred pounds.

521
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 2: And I think that their success rate prior to this

522
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: rule or using the tush push was very similar to

523
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 2: what their success rate is with it. And it's because

524
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: you have a quarterback that is unlike any other quarterback.

525
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: In Jalen Hurts, we're talking to Mike Florio, Pro Football

526
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 2: Talk Live, co host contributor to Football Night in America.

527
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 2: The latest novel, Big Shield, once again gambling mob pro

528
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: Football and it's not about the NFL.

529
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 18: Definitely not.

530
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: Ebook available Amazon for ninety nine cents.

531
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 18: I'm trying to get you, get trying to get you

532
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 18: sued with me. How about that? Oh no, I'll represent

533
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 18: us all for free.

534
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: Really?

535
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 18: Yeah?

536
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you against the NFL.

537
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 18: Yeah, that'd be a book on its own. So, I mean,

538
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 18: I saw the Billy Joel documentary, which was just awesome.

539
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 18: And when the Catholic Church tried to push back against

540
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 18: only the good Die Young, the end result was him

541
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 18: sending a letter to the archdiocese saying Can you please

542
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 18: do that for all my songs?

543
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 2: He got a whole lot of publicity there. I'm trying

544
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: to figure out if three weeks is long enough three

545
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 2: games to figure out a team, figure out who these

546
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 2: teams are? Is there how many teams do you not

547
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 2: have a handle on.

548
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 18: I think it's difficult to figure out all of them

549
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 18: because the one thing that we know will happen, there

550
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 18: will be injuries. And how do you deal with the injury.

551
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 18: Is the next man up going to be good enough

552
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 18: to keep things rolling? Can you weather the storm until

553
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 18: the key player comes back? And we know that happens

554
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 18: every year. But I think we kind of have an idea.

555
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 18: We've already had an idea. The eight teams that legitimately

556
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 18: have a chance. Do they fall off due to injury?

557
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 18: The Bengals have I don't know that they were in

558
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 18: the eight, maybe they were in the ten or the twelve.

559
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 18: But we know the good teams, we know the bad teams.

560
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 18: It's in between. Is there a team that is just

561
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 18: going to catch lightning in a bottle? Is something going

562
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 18: to happen? Are they going to get better on the fly?

563
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 18: Teams always change from week one to week eighteen it's

564
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 18: such a long season. They're gonna get better, they're gonna

565
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 18: get worse, and it could be that one of these

566
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 18: teams in the middle of the pack. And I think

567
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 18: back to the Patriots the year they won their first

568
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 18: Super Bowl. They were like five and five, ten games in.

569
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 18: It can break one way or the other. We see

570
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 18: that happen. But right now we know the best, we

571
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 18: know the worst, and then there's this cluster of we

572
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 18: don't know and we'll find out.

573
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: I thought about this yesterday watching games and what's going

574
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: on with the Clippers with Kawhi Leonard and Steve Balmer.

575
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: What would prevent owners from doing side deals and circumventing

576
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: the salary cap in any sport.

577
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 18: I think if you're smart, you can get away with it.

578
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 18: You can always get away with finding a way to

579
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 18: funnel money to somebody. After Pablo Toure reported on what

580
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 18: was going on with the Clippers, allegedly someone reach asked me.

581
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 18: He said, you know what, there was a team twenty

582
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 18: years ago that had a separate in house video production

583
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 18: company and they would use that to pay players who

584
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 18: weren't on the team to keep them from going to

585
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 18: play for other teams and it was a great little

586
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 18: way to have a side roster that you's stashed and

587
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 18: everybody was properly compensated, so they weren't looking for other jobs.

588
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 18: But you had these extra guys and how many it was,

589
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 18: But that's what they did, and the sense I got

590
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 18: is that they weren't the only team. Now I don't

591
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 18: believe that's currently happening still, but how hard would it wait?

592
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you think that would be happening in any

593
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: sport if you're.

594
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 18: Smart and if you're discreet, and if you can trust

595
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 18: the people that you're giving the money to. I think

596
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 18: that's the key, though, because it's one thing for a

597
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 18: guy to keep his mouth shut while he's being paid

598
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 18: by you. But I'd think if this was something widespread

599
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 18: over the past thirty years of the salary cap, if

600
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 18: there was something like that, I'd like to think someone

601
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 18: would have spilled the beans.

602
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 8: By now.

603
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 18: Somebody would be pissed off about how it all ended.

604
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 18: I didn't get that last check, or you owe me

605
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 18: a little bit more, or you know, guy just is

606
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 18: out one night and he has a couple of pops

607
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 18: and he decides to say something to a reporter. I'm

608
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 18: surprised we haven't heard more about it because I think

609
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 18: it's NICI to assume. And Pablo had a great take

610
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 18: last week about Steve Balmer. You know, these really rich

611
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 18: guys can buy anything and everything they want except that championship,

612
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 18: and it's got to drive them crazy. So what do

613
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 18: they have? They have money. Let's find a way to

614
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 18: throw more of the money at this thing that we

615
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 18: can't buy.

616
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: Tom Brady did the Bears game yesterday with the Cowboys,

617
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: and then his Raiders are going to be playing the

618
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: Bears coming up. The conflict of interest is sort of

619
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 2: lingering there and probably going to heat up a little

620
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: bit more next week. How do you see this end

621
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 2: or does it end in a different way it was.

622
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 18: It was hiding in plain sight for all of us

623
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 18: to see for over a year. But it just shows

624
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 18: you the power of actually seeing something because the moment

625
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 18: we saw the incredible shrinking Tom Brady because as soon

626
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 18: as he realized he was on screen, he hit that

627
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 18: button and down that seat went because he knew he

628
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 18: knew this isn't going to end well. Because that woke

629
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 18: everyone up to what we already should have known existed.

630
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 18: You can't reconcile his two jobs. I think what's gonna

631
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 18: happen because the NFL doesn't want to admit we never

632
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 18: should have allowed him to pick both lanes. We should

633
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 18: have told him when we did the vote last October

634
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 18: on allowing him into the club, you got to pick

635
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 18: one or the other. You can't do both. I think

636
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 18: what will happen. It'll be like the Tush push. If

637
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 18: the Raiders ever become really, really good, that's when there's

638
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,479
Speaker 18: gonna be this ground swell. This can't continue. Tom Brady

639
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 18: can't continue to be at these games and gather this information.

640
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 18: Dan the one point that gets lost in all this,

641
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 18: because there's been a lot of talk about, well, how

642
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 18: much do you really get from a production meeting? The

643
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 18: real value is being on the field before the game,

644
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 18: when you can hobknob, when people are gonna come, they

645
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 18: want to talk to you, They're gonna come tell you

646
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 18: things they shouldn't tell you. You can see what a

647
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 18: player looks like. He looks different on TV than he

648
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 18: looks on the field. And so it's not just getting

649
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 18: ready to face the Bears. It's which free agents from

650
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 18: this team, what I maybe like to sign, Which assistant

651
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 18: coaches are the ones who are really really the ones.

652
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 18: You know, the media has an idea of who the

653
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 18: ones who are up and coming should be, But I'm

654
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 18: in a position to find out who's really making this

655
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 18: team go. He's in an incredible situation that no other

656
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 18: owner is in to gather information that can be used.

657
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 18: And Antonio Pierce, the former coach of the Raiders, he

658
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 18: said it all last week. He told Adam Shine, I

659
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 18: know that it's useful because he gave me that information

660
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 18: last year.

661
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: How does Kirk Cousins get traded, Well.

662
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 18: There's going to have to be a serious season ending

663
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 18: injury for a team that doesn't want to go next

664
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 18: man up, and the Bengals for now are next man up.

665
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 18: And look, the Bengals aren't going to want to give

666
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 18: up draft picks because those are cheap young players. They're

667
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 18: not going to want to pay Kirk Cousins. And the

668
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,959
Speaker 18: Falcons are going to want whoever takes on Kirk Cousins

669
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 18: to pick up a major chunk of his twenty seven

670
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 18: and a half million dollar guaranteed salary this year. But

671
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 18: it's going to have to line up just right, and

672
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 18: I don't know that it will. I think the one

673
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 18: place could be Minnesota because that's the easiest place to

674
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 18: pop him back in if, for example, JJ McCarthy back

675
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 18: and gets injured again and it's a longer term injury

676
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 18: and they feel like they can salvage the season and

677
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 18: they don't want to ride with Carson Wentz, who who

678
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 18: looked okay yesterday. He wasn't horrible. He didn't throw a

679
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 18: left handed interception in his own end zone. So that's progress.

680
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 18: So it's gonna be something where it's gotta fall just right.

681
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 18: And it could be that the Falcons decide at some

682
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 18: point this year that we're not going to trade him

683
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 18: because we're gonna put Michael Pennix on the bench like

684
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 18: the Panthers did last year with Bryce Young and let

685
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 18: him take a step back and regroup because yesterday was

686
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 18: rough for Penis and the Falcons.

687
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: Your favorite part of the book is what well.

688
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 18: The book is told from the perspective of the three

689
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 18: main characters, and the first draft of the book it

690
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,719
Speaker 18: unfolded in a somewhat different way with a different main character.

691
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 18: I decided it's a long story, so keep it simple.

692
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 18: That part got carved out and I put a new

693
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,239
Speaker 18: part in with a new main character who's like the

694
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 18: mob figure, who's the guy who gathers the professional athletes,

695
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 18: because it's not just a professional football player in the

696
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 18: league that isn't the NFL. It's a professional basketball player

697
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 18: in the league that isn't the NBA, and a professional

698
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 18: baseball player in the league that isn't the MLB. But

699
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 18: he's the he's the guy that makes this thing go.

700
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 18: And he was the most fun to write, the most

701
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 18: fun to revise and edit, because when you get a

702
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 18: book that you got to read it twenty times, it's like,

703
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 18: I really don't want to read this again, But every

704
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 18: time I'd read Johnny Motts is the name of the character.

705
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 18: Any Johnny Mott's chapter was just fun because he's he's

706
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 18: he's malicious, but he's stupid, but he's smart, and he's

707
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 18: also got a conscience, and it's this complex character that

708
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 18: is just a lot of fun because he thinks like

709
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 18: a mobster, he talks like a mobster, and that's just

710
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 18: always fun to read and and just kind of envision

711
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 18: what that guy's like.

712
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 3: Did you ever have any dealings with the mob when

713
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 3: you were gambling?

714
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 18: I never gambled. I never gambled. My dad was a

715
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 18: bookie though Okay, my dad was a bookie and he

716
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 18: was connected to the crew in the town where I

717
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 18: grew up in Wheeling, West Virginia, and the first two

718
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 18: novels I did are based on inspired by I don't

719
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 18: want to say based on I want to say inspired

720
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 18: by I don't think any of them are left but

721
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 18: just in case. But he was a bookie connected to

722
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 18: that crew, and so I knew a lot of the

723
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 18: people who when I grew up and was able to

724
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 18: like google names and see what they had done or

725
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 18: allegedly had done, it was like, oh, almost said a

726
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 18: word I shouldn't say, but it was like, man, like,

727
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 18: you know, those are some bad dudes. And my dad

728
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 18: was on the periphery of it because he was just basically,

729
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 18: he was a compulsive gambler who realized it's better to

730
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 18: be the house, so he became a bookie. But he

731
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 18: was just the gambling side of it. And I'm not

732
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 18: condoning it or excusing it. That was the way provided

733
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 18: for his family. I was a kid. There was nothing

734
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 18: I could do about it, and my mom did a

735
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 18: great job of keeping those worlds separate, but there was

736
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 18: enough overlap where Yeah, I picked up a lot how

737
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 18: they talk, how they act, just the vibe that they have.

738
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 18: That I was around a lot of guys like that,

739
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 18: and I was oblivious to the fact that, you know,

740
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 18: they they were capable of doing some pretty bad stuff.

741
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 3: The book is called Big Shield.

742
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: It's the tale of gambling the mob in a pro

743
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 2: football league that is not the NFL. Once again, it

744
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: is not. The book available on Amazon for only ninety

745
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: nine cents.

746
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 18: Do you read books? No, you have all these books

747
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 18: and you don't read them. It's a library here, by

748
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 18: the way, I haven't been to this location. Congratulations, because

749
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 18: this is incredible. The last place was great, but this

750
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 18: is like the last place on steroids. I mean it's huge,

751
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 18: and it's open, and you got so much stuff and

752
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 18: it's all. You could wander around here for like three

753
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 18: hours and not see everything. It really is incredible.

754

00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 10: Dump Cowroly goes deep against the ms AL West rival Astros.

766
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 10: His fifty seventh of the year passes Ken Griffey Junior

Speaker 10: EMS lead the division now by three games, won fourteen

771
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 10: of the last fifteen games. Worst also on Saturday, not

772
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 10: taking anything away from QS, but Clemson losing at home

773
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 10: in Death Valley.

774
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 8: They're one in three for the first time under Dabbo Seaton.

775
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go double best this weekend. My super bestess

776
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 4: of the weekend. Isaiah Rodgers an absolute defensive explosion for

777
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 4: the Vikings. He returned an interception for eighty seven yards

778
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 4: in a touchdown, then added another sixty six yard fumble

779
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 4: return for another and had and caused another two fumbles.

780
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 4: That's he's the first player I mean, it's a perfect

781
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 4: defensive performance. I think as you could get as a

782
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 4: fantasy player. I don't think you could be rated any higher.

783
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 4: He's the first player to ever do that in a

784
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 4: single game, of Vikings being the Bengals forty eight ten.

785
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 4: My other best of the weekend Syracuse on the road

786
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 4: taking down Clemson thirty five twenty one.

787
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 6: Davian Kerr with the pick to seal the deal.

788
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 4: I like that all of a sudden, Almost every week

789
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 4: now we're talking about Syracuse something happening with that team.

790
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 6: It's kind of fun. See.

791
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they had to run their sprints after they beat you.

792
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 2: Kon Yeah, Marvin beston Worst to the weekend.

793
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 7: Best of the weekend, also from the Vikings, Jordan Mason.

794
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 7: That guy always shows up when it's time to sixteen

795
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 7: carries one hundred and sixteen yards, two touchdowns. Worse of

796
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 7: the weekend the Tigers. I don't know what's going on

797
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 7: if they lost sixth straight, including Guineas sweat by the

798
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 7: Braves this past weekend.

799
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 5: Pauli bestin worst coming off the bench for Texas Tech

800
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 5: Will Hammond thirteen of sixteen, two touchdowns to spark their

801
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 5: offense in a thirty four to ten win over.

00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 6: The utah U.

803
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 5: It's that's huge for Texas Tech and they're four to

804
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 5: zero and then even better, Fernando Mendoza, the quarterback of

805
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 5: Indiana twenty one of twenty three, two sixty seven and

806
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,560

807
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 5: gonna be scalding hot draft time.

808
00:38:58,920 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 13: Yeah.

809
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: I remember Kirk Kurbst preseason and Herbie pointed out how

810
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 2: good this kid was. And I saw him play and

811
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 2: he didn't have great numbers. And then the last couple

812
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 2: of games, I think he's had ten touchdowns, no interceptions.

813
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 9: Yeah.

814
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 5: Pauling, Yeah, he's a transfer from Cal. He was pretty

815
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 5: good last year, but he is lighting it up.

816
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: Didn't Cal just get shut out this last weekend? Adam

820
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 12: obviously for me. The Rams choking in the fourth quarter.

821
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 12: How do you give up two blocks kicks? That's uncalled for.

822
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 12: It's crazy. I've never seen that before. And then best

823
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 12: of the weekend Clayton Gershaw going out in style in

824
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 12: LA getting the win with the Dodgers, and the Dodgers

Speaker 12: now thirteen straight seasons in the postseason.

826
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 3: Are you guys, Adam, are you jogging?

827
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 12: I'm actually walking?

828
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am, oh okay, yeah, all right, Well thank

829
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 2: you be careful. Sounded like he was on a treadmill.

830
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 2: Nathan and san Antonio. Hi, Nate, Hey Dan, thanks for

831
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 2: taking my call.

832
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 9: My best and worst is in your Florio just kind

833
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 9: of touched on it the test push. My eyes have

834
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 9: been open. Then I previously believed if you can't stop it,

835
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 9: that's your problem. But after watching that play this weekend

836
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 9: where Hurtz had two or three efforts on getting that

837
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 9: first down before they finally whistled the play dead after

838
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 9: the defender had stripped the ball from him. Then they

839
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 9: decided the play was over. It had gotten the first down.

840
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 9: That's that of my eye. Then this play is impossible

841
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 9: to officiate, and yeah, they need to get rid of it.

842
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 9: If I'm done with it.

843
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't see the ball carrier. He just kind

844
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 2: of disappears, and then you're like, uh, I don't know.

845
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: I guess you've got first down. Not sure. I do

846
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: think that is the emphasis here to get rid of

847
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 2: the play is you can't officiate it. It would help

848
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 2: if they actually officiated the play and called when the

849
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: offensive line jumps.

850
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 7: Yes, Marvin, if you're the NFL, are you hoping that

851
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 7: the Eagles don't win the Super Bowl? So you know what,

852
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 7: it won't look like we're out to get you guys.

853
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, because Dean Blandino said that he thinks that

854
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 2: the owners didn't want to take it away because then

855
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 2: it looked like sour graves.

856
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 3: We couldn't stop you guys. You guys won a Super Bowl.

857
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 2: More phone calls coming up on this Monday, best and

858
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: worst of the weekend. My thanks again to Mike Florio
