Well, 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell you the difference between the intensity level the 17 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: two sports in the playoffs that you can just see 18 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: by even if you're never watched a game before turning 19 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: on the television, the NHL and Major League Baseball, and 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: right now every second seems to tick by like an 21 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: eternity Game five between the Tigers and the Seattle Mariners. 22 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: The Tigers have taken a two to one lead into 23 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: the top of the seventh inning right now, and we'll 24 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: get to Tarik schoobl In a second, but the absolute 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: irony of the fact that here for the for the Mariners, 26 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: Kirby is pitching an absolute gem, right, George Kirby's had 27 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: an okay season for them, but Kerry Carpenter absolutely owns 28 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: it coming into the game one five for twelve with 29 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: five home runs, two singles to start the game. So 30 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: you know when he comes up with a runner on 31 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: in the sixth, they're not gonna let him face him 32 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: a third time, a right, because now he's seven for 33 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: seven for fourteen with five home runs, and the new 34 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: pitcher of the Mariners, bringing his spire and spire, promptly 35 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: gives up a two run home a to Carpenter, and 36 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: I really I thought I was I thought I was 37 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: trying to re Kirby's lips in the dugout, saying, man, 38 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: I could have done that too. Wow. So it is 39 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: a two to one Tigers lead over the Mariners. They 40 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: took out Kirby because we don't want this guy kills him. 41 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: This guy absolutely kills him, so okay, and then Spire 42 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: comes in and right away greets him with a two 43 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: run homer. So we're going to the bottom of the seventh. 44 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: The Tiger's up to one. Winner goes onto the Alcs 45 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: to face the Toronto Blue Jays. 46 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 3: It's what you call playing the percentages. It's what smart 47 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 3: managers do to win ball games. 48 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: But coach I got nine home runs today. There you 49 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: have it, the Simpsons at Strawberry's line. But coach I 50 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: got nine home runs. But that's it. Congratulate yourself on 51 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: a day well done and take a seat on the bench. 52 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: I'm playing the percentages. 53 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: That's what smart managers do. Yeah, I mean you saw 54 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: just the when Carpenter turns on it and Spier's reaction 55 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 3: immediately right going lefty ut lefty, second pick gone, and 56 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: the way things are flowing with this game. I mean, 57 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 3: the electricity is surge right there. You might have had, 58 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: you know, some problems with some of your electronics in 59 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 3: the stadium and around it. With the type of response 60 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 3: you got to Ba just absolutely incredible. Three for three 61 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 3: on the night and the long ball. 62 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: You see that home run, and he knew right away 63 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: because he flips his bat, Inspire just puts his head down, 64 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: like I gotta go back up home plate just because 65 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: I gotta look like I'm doing my job. But I 66 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: know that's not in the ballpark. I know I'm just 67 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: running fruitlessly. So a two to one lead, But but 68 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: you want to talk about high drama. And I am 69 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: really stunned with this, even though it's a little bit 70 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: of short rest to Rick Scoulball, who has been absolutely 71 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,839 Speaker 1: amazing tonight. And I talking to my wife today when 72 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: she says I'll school better, pitch better than Laska. I go, 73 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: last game was seven innings to give up two runs. 74 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, you should give up no runs. I'm like, wow, Okay, 75 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: so that's what everybody's expect. Is that what you have 76 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: to live up to every day. That's what Snall's gotta 77 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: live up to. Tell that that's what happened to your hair. 78 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: Wo man, we finally have the explanation after all these years, 79 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: he should give up no runs. Okay, nine pitches his 80 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: last one, one hundred mile an hour fastball that punches 81 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: out cal Riley, and I'm watching him come off and 82 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: get his high fives, and I go, boy, this looks 83 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: like he's coming out. Is it? Wow? Is he really 84 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna come out? I mean, I know, ninety nine pitches 85 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: and he's been thirteen strikeouts. There's a reason why he's 86 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: the best pitcher in baseball. And two hits for the Mariners, 87 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: and here comes Finnegan to start the seventh inning. Twenty 88 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: four saves this season, so look they're they're going to 89 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: a high leverage reliever obviously, but still here comes Kyle Finnegan, 90 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: Detroit native, to step in, and right now the manners 91 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: are going, oh, we feel like we're winning by five runs. 92 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: We got schoobl out of the game at ninety nine pitches. 93 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 1: You know what for me, I'm sorry, I'm aj Hinch. 94 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: However many pitches it takes Schooble tonight, it takes even 95 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: if it's one hundred and seventy five. Yes, we need hey, 96 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: you need one hundred and seventy five. One hundred and 97 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: seventy five for you is what we need right here. 98 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a huge victory for 99 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: the Mariners. And you know Schooble wanted to stay, but 100 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: you could just tell coming in putting the towel on 101 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: the high fives. It's like, Okay, it looks like he's 102 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: sort of done. It looks like he's coming out of 103 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: the game. And now you are gonna see a huge 104 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: uptick in excitement and in possibility for the Mariners. Jay 105 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: Rod just hits one to the wall the first batter 106 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: of the seventh inning, Finnegan breathing a sigh of relief. 107 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: It was tracked down just short of the fence. So 108 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: now even though it's two to one, Tigers have the lead, 109 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: they're counting outs. It is no more to reach schoobl 110 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: than wow, man, aj Hinch is just going, Okay, I 111 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: know what the question is gonna be postgame.

Yes, eight man out. 115 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: No, Look, you haven't seen Schoobl's got a bunch of 116 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: seven inning outings over the course of the year, a 117 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 3: little seven and a third, seven to two thirds, one 118 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: complete game going back to May against Cleveland with a 119 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 3: five nothing win. But but yeah, the it felt like 120 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 3: that last pitch he threw it to finish the sixth 121 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 3: against Raleigh, it was like he threw his arm at 122 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: him as well, Yeah, here taking that. 123 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: An empty the tech moment, and I was like, but 124 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: he was still throwing one hundred the entire game, so 125 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: it's not but yeah, but he completed the you know, 126 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: delivery of the pitch and he was halfway up the 127 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: road to do home plate. 128 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 3: As he finished, It's like, yeah, I got him. That's 129 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: that big moment, big gesture, big crowd response. But now 130 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 3: you do the hand ringing and waiting because you know 131 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 3: the second guesting will be done. It was already being 132 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: done on the other side with Kirby because he only 133 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 3: he left with only sixty six pitches thrown. Yeah, except 134 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 3: again going to the matchup of everything that played out 135 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 3: and you know hindsight twenty twenty with the long ball 136 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: and then being hit by Carpenter. But for school bol, 137 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: I mean, that was just masterclass right there. Just every 138 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 3: at bat going, is anybody even gonna wave at something 139 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: close to making contact? And the answer was no. He 140 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: was absolutely masterful. 141 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: But do you want to know what I thought?

But 144 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: you want a great positivity Friday story. You know what 145 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: I thought of when when they take Kirby out because obviously, look, 146 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: five for eleven, five home runs, right, you're not gonna 147 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: let Kirby faced carpenter, Right, You're just not gonna do it. 148 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: That's It's not like, hey, he's hitting three fifty in 149 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: his career against him, he's you know, he saw yeah, no, no, 150 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: this is a five for all five hits or home runs. 151 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: Every other time he bats against me, HiT's a home run. 152 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: Well, hey, hey, recent recency bias. He only had singles today. 153 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, and the first two times up we're 154 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: too you know, we're two singles. So it's like, okay, 155 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: he's really got him. I was thinking of that made 156 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: for TV movie in I think it was seventy eight, 157 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: seventy nine. The kid from left field, Gary Coleman, was 158 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 1: a kid and he was a coach or a manager 159 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: with the Padres. He was this. 160 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 3: Base yeah yeah, yeah, and. 161 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: He was so smart and he was in the and 162 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: I forget if he was actually the manager or like 163 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: he advised the manager, right, and that was the whole thing. 164 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: And he made a move in the game where they 165 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: had this guy coming up in the game and uh, 166 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: obviously they were they were fake players. They weren't real players. Uh. 167 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: And one guy was coming up, he had a lot 168 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: of success against him, and Gary Coleman's idea was, we're 169 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: gonna take the picture, move him to first base, bring 170 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: in a new pitcher just for this batter. Then after 171 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: this batter is over, that picture leaves and the pitcher 172 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: goes back to and the picture that was on first 173 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: base goes back to pitching, and they put a new 174 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: first basement in. And I'm thinking that's what I would 175 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: do if I were the Mariners, I would take I 176 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: would just put Kirby in a position where we don't 177 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: think he's gonna hit the ball, and then bring him 178 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: back in to keep. Like what an incredible move that 179 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: would have been. And if I remember right, the batter 180 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: hit a pop up and the pitcher caught it at 181 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: first base, like the one batter he was aired like. 182 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: The pitcher actually caught the pop up. Then he went 183 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 1: back into pitch. I'm like I wanted kid from left 184 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: field right there. 185 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 3: Remake of a nineteen fifty three classic, going all the 186 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 3: way back to nineteen seventy nine, Robert Gillome, Gary Collins 187 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 3: and Ed McMahon were the other stars of this film, 188 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: You have one, That's what he kept saying, though. Yes, 189 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 3: so again, we'll keep you posted on the Tigers and 190 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 3: the Mariners, two out one on bottom of the seventh inning. Again, 191 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 3: the winner goes on to the Alcs to take on 192 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 3: the Blue Jays. Meanwhile, this is great for a positivity Friday, right, Yeah, 193 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: we always need positivity Fridays. 194 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: A coursis for it. And one of the big NFL 195 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: stories of the weekend is Joe Flacco going to start 196 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: for the Bengals in his first game. Doesn't matter. Hey 197 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: all know, we just wanted Joe Flacco to come in 198 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: because we like Joe. He can help us. No, no, no, no, 199 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: you're starting right away, Joe, You're starting. We love Jake Brownie.

You are starting right away, Joe. 201 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: So Flacco's going to start this weekend for the Bengals. 202 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: Will preview the game coming up in a little bit. 203 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: But I want to say this. He was asked, why 204 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: is he still playing here? He is? You know, Joe 205 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: Flacco's going to be sixty three years old his next birthday, 206 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: still in the NFL. And he's asked today why are 207 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: you still going here after such a career. And this 208 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: is the answer that Joe Flacco gave. You talk about 209 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: a positivity Friday, This is it you. 210 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're cool you, I'm out all right? 211 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: So Flacco didn't like already the media in Cincinnati not 212 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: happy with there. But then when they said, okay, Joe, 213 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: can you calm down and just let us know what 214 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: you really think about it? This is what Joe Flacco. 215 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 4: Said, like a lot to offer to a football team. 216 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 4: I feel like I've put in a lot of work 217 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 4: my whole life to get to this point in just 218 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 4: terms of playing in the NFL in general. And I 219 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 4: have a I hopefully will have a long life when 220 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 4: I'm done. But you only get a chance to play 221 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 4: in the NFL once. I feel like I've worked really hard, 222 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 4: like I said, to be a guy that gets to 223 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 4: play in the NFL, and I don't want to take 224 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 4: that for granted. I still feel like I can play 225 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 4: the game at a high level, and I want to 226 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 4: be able to look at myself in the mirror when 227 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 4: I'm fifty years old and be able to say that, 228 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 4: you know, I gave it everything I had. 229 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: Now that that is an amazing. I feel like we've 230 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: been inspired the last couple of days with you Know What, 231 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: We're what you know what people are talking about sister 232 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: Jean and and here's Joe Flacco saying, I want to 233 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: be able to look back when I'm fifty, which is 234 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: actually his next birthday, so it's not very far away. 235 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 3: I want you far away exactly. 236 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: I want to look back when I'm fifty and say 237 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: I gave it everything I had. I did this. You 238 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: you look, you get one shot right around around around, 239 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: however many times you go around around the sun. You 240 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: get one shot to do what you want to in life. 241 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: And yes, it is a big balancing act because when 242 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: you talk about getting married and having a family and 243 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: making sacrifices, it becomes bigger than yourself. But when it 244 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: comes to what you choose to do for a living, 245 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: nothing he does is going to beat what he's doing. 246 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: Right now, you take that and go all the way 247 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: until you know I can't do it anymore. Don't retire 248 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: or stop playing for spite. Don't retire or stop doing 249 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: something because well, it's too difficult to find a job. 250 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: There's many guys that have retired in their thirties, as well. 251 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: I can't get a gig here, it's so difficult. Instead 252 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: of saying, hey, i'll kick around, I'll be a number 253 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: three quarterback somewhere. You don't know how things are gonna go, 254 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: I might be able to find my way in starting. 255 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: Because that's Joe Flacco, right, It's also Sam Darnold, It's 256 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: also Gino Smith, it's also Baker Mayfield. Right, it's all 257 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: of these guys that, Hey, I could have quit some 258 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: time ago. Hey, I made money, I'm twenty seven years old. 259 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: No one's gonna have me start again. I'm just gonna 260 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: go and enjoy the rest of my life and do 261 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: whatever I want to. But no, this is what I've 262 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: given my life to. I want to see this out, 263 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go until I absolutely can't go anymore. 264 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: And that is one hundred percent the right call, because 265 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: if you don't, you're always gonna ask yourself, Hey, you know, 266 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: what could have happened? Whatnot? And it's not that it 267 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: would sit there and really eat it you, but you'd 268 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: always wonder, always wonder how man if I'd stuck it out, 269 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: if I had done more. But no, I was really mad. 270 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: And you have that conversation with yourself, and you try 271 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: to justify your decisions to yourself. The best thing I'll 272 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: tell on you when you're done doing something, for when 273 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: you're done or in a relationship, whatever it is, be 274 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: sure that I am done, because I am done, because 275 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: I can't do this anymore, either physically or mentally. And 276 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: I no longer get joy going to the field and 277 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: getting in the locker room with the guys. I no 278 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: longer get that jump running on the field and being 279 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: able to play. I no longer get that buzz when 280 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out two minute drive at the 281 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: end of the game. That's when you stop playing. That's 282 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: when I know I'm done. When you know you're done 283 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: doing something, that's when you go. And too often it's 284 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: easy to convince yourself for to say, hey, I gave 285 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: it a great go. No one would blame Joe Flacco 286 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: if he retired from the NFL four years ago, because 287 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: what's he gonna do? But then look at what happened. 288 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he gets thrust in because the 289 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: Browns played six quarterbacks in twenty twenty three, and all 290 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Flacco comes off his couch and throws 291 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: them to the playoff, so we stays leave another couple 292 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: of years. He starts this year a little bit for 293 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: the Browns. Okay, didn't work. They got a new guy 294 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: coming in Boom. Now he's going to start for the 295 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: rest of the season for the Bengals. A better team, 296 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: a better offense, a chance to put more numbers up 297 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: and continue to play and start in the NFL like this, 298 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: This is why you keep doing it. And when when 299 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: when Joe Flagges listen, I can't do it. I don't 300 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: want to do training camp, I don't want to do X, 301 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: Y and Z, and teams say there's no interest, nobody 302 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: wants you anymore. That's when you say, Okay, I've done 303 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: all I can and I'm at peace with this decision. 304 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: That's the best thing you can do in paths in 305 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: your life, whether it's creative, personal, family. When you are 306 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: absolutely sure you are done, that's when you stop doing it, 307 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: and not a second too soon. That's a great positivity 308 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: Friday message. 309 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's always a line that sticks with me. From 310 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 3: the early days of his podcast, Adam Corolla, Right, everybody 311 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 3: knows what he did with the you Know Demand show 312 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 3: all the way back in a couple of movies, comedy, whatever, 313 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 3: but and wherever it's it's not going into the political 314 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: realm here. It's just the idea of whatever you're doing, 315 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 3: does it make me happy? And does it make me money? 316 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: If the answer to it to both of those is know, 317 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 3: then go on and do something else. And then you 318 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 3: start playing the what's the weight between the other two things? 319 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 3: If you if you hit the uh the click on 320 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 3: either right, do you make a lot of money? Yeah, 321 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 3: you might be able to go through a little little 322 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 3: bit of bumps and aches and pains, and where psychologically 323 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 3: day to day you're you're not really one hundred percent 324 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 3: on where you're going in. This applies to any job, 325 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 3: but certainly for the NFL. I mean it's finite. 326 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 4: Right. 327 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 3: How many athletes have we talked through through the years 328 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 3: that they wish they could have gotten one more trip 329 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 3: around right, that they got retired because their body was 330 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 3: done and the phone stopped ringing.

Right, 503 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: they had traded Kelsey Plumb in the offseason. They were 504 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: fourteen and fourteen. Okay, it happens, right, you win a couple, 505 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: you get old right away. They lost three games in 506 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: the last nine weeks. Those were the law, that's what 507 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: the Aces did. Three losses since August second. Two of 508 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: them were in the last playoff round to the Fever. Right, 509 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: who gave him the toughest row? Oh, you could probably get. 510 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: Two of the losses were in the last round of 511 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: the Fever when the Aces won in one in five. 512 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: But this was They went on a run from fourteen 513 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: and fourteen and middle of the pack and who knows 514 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: how things are gonna go. And they finish thirty and 515 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: fourteen into the playoffs. Those where they you know, they 516 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: lose a couple of games. They lose one game to Seattle, 517 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: they lose two games to Indiana, They sweep Phoenix. They 518 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: close the regular season from fourteen and fourteen to thirty 519 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: and fourteen. I mean, this is a champions run, man, 520 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: Like you want to cut it up, just say this 521 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: is what champions. So it's all of a sudden. They 522 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: just turned it on midway through the season and they 523 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: win the title. Another title for Asia Wilson. An absolute 524 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: dynasty there for all the Caitlyn Clark and oh hopefully 525 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: Angel Reese gets to a new team that's better, and 526 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: you know everybody else, all the fun stuff. Man, they 527 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: just keep saying, Okay, that's great, we have the best 528 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: player in the game. We're gonna continue to win. She's 529 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,959 Speaker 1: gonna keep winning MVPs and we're gonna keep winning titles. 530 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: It's okay, we'll celebrate at the end. That's Las Vegas. 531 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the accolades keep piling up when we 532 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 3: talk about first teams, this all defense and everything else. 533 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 3: Asia Wilson just having herself a ridiculous run. The trifecta 534 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 3: here and now you need labor piece to see if 535 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: you can keep the game moving right. All the other 536 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 3: business deals are fun, and we can't wait to see 537 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark back on a court in whatever the next 538 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 3: version of Caitlyn Clark is. Because the thirteen games we 539 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 3: did see this year were uneven and riddled with injury 540 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 3: before she was finally shut down. The Angel reach. She's 541 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 3: got business deals seemingly being announced by the day. That's 542 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 3: all fine and good. The aces from that midpoint of 543 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,479 Speaker 3: the season just absolutely a tale literally of two halves 544 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 3: of a season, like, all right, we done screwing around, 545 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 3: All right, let's go to work. And that's what you did. 546 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,479 Speaker 3: Led by Wilson, Young and Gray at the top, with 547 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 3: Jewel Lloyd contributing, you have good depth, good chemistry, and 548 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 3: when it came to win in time, there was no 549 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 3: shopping them. 550 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: Wait, I'm watching Kathy Engelbert is talking right now. She says, no, 551 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: Asia Wilson should thank everybody that she's in the league 552 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: right now, that she's even here, and the and the 553 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: media deals that I got. Sorry, is it too soon 554 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: for that joke? 555 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 3: Well, but at least she didn't send someone else in 556 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 3: her stead, which some would argue would have been a 557 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 3: better move. Yeah, you don't. You don't want any of. 558 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: That exit out about a Fresca exit swollen down the 559 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. All right, 560 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: So to football Friday, we go and let's kick things 561 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,959 Speaker 1: off with a bang. Let's take a look at the 562 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: game of the week in the NFL. Nothing bigger, Cleveland's 563 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: a bigger We'll get tight shirt. We're gonna get to Cleveland. 564 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: How about that? 565 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 3: How about that? 566 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: Is that his segment no no, no, no, no, big 567 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: night for Alex Tie will have more details on that. 568 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: It's the biggest night Alex Tyshert's ever had here on 569 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: the show. We'll give you wearing a suit. He's in 570 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: his birthday suit. That's exactly right, big, nothing, bigger than 571 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: the Lions and the Chiefs. Yes, I know Kansas City's 572 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: not gonna lose again to go to two of fun. 573 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: You know what, Kansas City's gonna lose again to go 574 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: to two and four. Detroit right now is the best 575 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: team in the NFL. Right we can have discussions about 576 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: They fix their Week one issues so incredibly fast. Their 577 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: offense is absolutely rolling. Maybe they upgraded an offensive and 578 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. I really think they upgraded at DC. But 579 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: you know that's a story for another day. I can't 580 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 1: see how the Chiefs keep up in this game. There's 581 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: still another week away from from Rashid Rice with the suspension. 582 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: You know Worthy is back, that's great, but this is 583 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: still a team that just isn't great, and they're losing 584 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: games at the end. They've three losses all where they've 585 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,959 Speaker 1: melted at the end. Either they couldn't get a score 586 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,719 Speaker 1: or the defense couldn't stop them. These are all games 587 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: the Chiefs used to be able to win. Hey, don't 588 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: leave it to the end to Mahomes. Do give them 589 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: a chance, and look at what happens. The losses this year, 590 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: three of them all because they couldn't stop the other 591 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: team at the end, and they're finding a way to 592 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: not come through when because the other teams are younger, 593 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 1: they're more athletic, they have more at the end of 594 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: the game. The Chiefs defense is not great. They just 595 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 1: seem like they're really really missing something right now. And 596 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, the Lions they're gonna come in 597 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: and this this team might be better than it was 598 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: last year. Certainly the defense is better than it was. 599 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: And I see this one being like a thirty eight 600 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: to seventeen game where Hey, Mahomes does his best to 601 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: keep them close, but in the end, it's hard to 602 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: stop Gibbs and Montgomery and Saint Brown and Williams and 603 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: Laporta and Billy Simms and Barry Sanders and Eric Kane 604 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: and Eric Hipple. It's gonna be impossible. Give me Detroit. 605 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: But they did it in Kansas City a couple of 606 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: years ago Opening Night. They do it again this week. 607 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 3: Last I saw the over under had crept all the 608 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 3: way out to fifty three. 609 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: That'll be done by halftime. 610 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 3: That'll be okay, nice appetized for you there as you go, Chiefs, 611 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 3: A slight home favorite. The key here for your Detroit Lions. Look, 612 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,239 Speaker 3: I know you were trying to, you know, sideswipe your 613 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 3: guy Aaron Glenn. While he's at it, he was dealing 614 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 3: with how many how many starters were actually available for 615 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 3: him towards the end of the year, like three. 616 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: Well, right now, that's kind of where we're headed again. 617 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: But they got the key. Guy Hutchinson will be there 618 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: to try to terrorize Patrick Mahomes. 619 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 3: You got a lot of injuries in the back seven 620 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 3: that they'll need to address, including a couple of cornerbacks. 621 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 3: But we'll keep an eye on that as we get 622 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 3: towards game time. I'm gonna take the Lions to win 623 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 3: the game. Too much firepower, too much in the run game. 624 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 3: Your best runner is still Patrick Mahomes on the other side. 625 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 3: Until they address that to get true balance in the equation, 626 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 3: it's a problem. Don't put up some points. I think 627 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 3: it's close, but I think Detroit wins by a field 628 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 3: goal on the road and a lot of handwringing transpires. 629 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: Oh boy, So there it is our game of the 630 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: week in the NFL. We got Game of the Weeks 631 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: in college football coming up, but right now, time to 632 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: find out what's trending in the wide world of sports. 633 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: Man has been called the Dan Campbell of Fox Sports 634 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: Radio because I caught him biting Alex Tyscher's knees earlier 635 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: in the hallway. 636 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 6: It's Steve to say, only biting granola bars here at 637 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 6: the studio, Incredy. 638 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: That would be your speech at the end word, you know, 639 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: as seem to say your head coach, We're gonna bite 640 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: granola bars, We're gonna eat whatever, We're gonna drink water, 641 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna do whatever we need to do to go win. Yeah. 642 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 6: I think after shark consideration, that probably would be in 643 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 6: and it probably wouldn't inspire anybody. We have a great 644 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 6: ball game going out on Fox TV. Game five by 645 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 6: the best of five Ale Division Series. First off, Trek Schouoble, 646 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 6: the first player in baseball history to strike out thirteen 647 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 6: batters in a game twice in the same postseason. His Tigers, though, 648 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 6: are tied at Seattle to two in the bottom of 649 00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 6: the eighth because a pinch hitter named who Louis Reevas 650 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 6: Leo Reeva, I've never heard of this guy had the 651 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 6: tying RBI single in the bottom of the seventh for Seattle. 652 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 6: Now starter George Kirby five plus innings, six strikeouts and 653 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 6: no walks, No decision for him, no decision for Scooble. 654 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 6: It's two to bottom of the eighth right now. Now 655 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 6: the closer for Seattle Andres Munoz finally got the last 656 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 6: out of the top of the eighth. The closer Will 657 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 6: Vest is on for the bottom of the eighth for 658 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 6: the Tigers. 659 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: By the way, the Tigers, right now we're saying, see 660 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: my best, see my vest, watch and pitch and. 661 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 3: Put it to the test of nicely done. 662 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 6: Beauty and the beast reference kids. The ALCS starts this 663 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 6: Sunday nights on Fox TV from Toronto, with Game two 664 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 6: on Monday in Toronto.

But it is football Friday. We 743 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: previewed the biggest NFL game of the week a few 744 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: minutes ago. We talked Lions and the Chiefs. Oh, the 745 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 1: Chiefs are Yeah. No, they're gonna lose again. But there 746 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: is a slate of big games tomorrow in college football, right, 747 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: we have some big Top ten matchups. But nothing is 748 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,439 Speaker 1: bringing the intrigue more than Texas and Oklahoma. Right. John 749 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: Mattier is back, He's now probable. Maybe he can restart 750 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: his Heisman campaign because right now it's like, well, really, 751 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: anybody can win. Still, I am so worried for Texas 752 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: and arch Manning versus Oklahoma because look, here's the non 753 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: BS answer. What's up with Texas and arch Manning? Right? 754 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: Why they're three and two and why suddenly, hey, what's 755 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 1: going on here? Right? Arch Manning is fine? All right, 756 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: he's fine. He's not great, he's not dominant, but he 757 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: is fine. Remember he's in his first year as a starter, 758 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: and the hype coming in was incredible. But the guy's 759 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 1: making some plays. He gotta let at some point it's like, okay, 760 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: it's not like he's throwing four receptions a game. What's 761 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: going on is I don't know that now? When he 762 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: when on a lot of plays, he sees where he 763 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: needs to go with the football, he doesn't get to 764 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: his third receiver or his second option. A lot you 765 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: see a lot of plays where hey, Manning makes this thrown, Boy, 766 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: he had a receiver here who was open. I just 767 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: don't know that he sees that yet. And I think, 768 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: you know, after four or five games, he's still putting 769 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: up enough offense, he's still making plays with his legs, 770 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: but he just needs to play a little bit. And 771 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: and clearly he's gonna come back to Texas after this 772 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: Year's not headed to the NFL after this. That surely 773 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: isn't happening. So I'm okay giving him a little bit 774 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: to assess and really break him down next year. Because 775 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Texas is good right there. This is 776 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: not the same team as twenty twenty four. Injuries are 777 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,840 Speaker 1: hurting them a bit, yes, one hundred percent, but they're 778 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,720 Speaker 1: just not good enough right And I kind of feel 779 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 1: like like Steve Sarkisian is on a post twenty six notice, where, Okay, 780 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: this year, whatever it is that we disappointed and it 781 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,879 Speaker 1: wasn't quite the season we saw, Okay, you gotta come 782 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 1: through in twenty six with Arch Manning or we're gonna 783 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 1: wind up getting a new head coach. Like I feel 784 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: like he is on he'll be on notice next year. 785 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: But Texas just they're just not that good. They didn't 786 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 1: blow out teams they should have been blowing out right. 787 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: They lose to to Ohio State, and I'm still not 788 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: sold at Ohio. Ohio State's their defense is unreal, right, 789 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: this is one of the best defenses in all of 790 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 1: college football that we've seen in years. But overall, is 791 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: Ohio State really that good? Is their defense just making 792 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: sure the offense in positions succeed. But Texas just has 793 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: not looked good at all. They've they've not looked from 794 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: week one to week six. They kind of look exactly 795 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: the same. They're just not good. So I'm okay, but 796 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 1: I am. I am so fearful for Texas tomorrow because 797 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: I could see Oklahoma running away and hiding with this one. 798 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: Matteers got his shoulder pads off by the beginning of 799 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. It's wow, what's going on Texas? What 800 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen? Are they gonna hit the transfer portal 801 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: for a quarterback? They want to fire Steve Sarkisian. I 802 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: cringe at what's gonna happen to Texas in this game tomorrow? 803 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 3: Look at you calling for all sorts of chaos I'm 804 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 3: here for it. Uh, when we look at Oklahoma, right, 805 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 3: Matier comes back, and let's do a quick run of 806 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 3: the Heisman odds as they stand today. Dante More of 807 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 3: Oregon number one, Carson Beck second third, Simpson a plus 808 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 3: seven fiber that name, Jeremiah Smith all the way up 809 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 3: to plus eight fifty, and then Mattier still rounding out 810 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,760 Speaker 3: the top five at ten to one. Mendoza of Indiana 811 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 3: just behind him. We'll talk about him as the show 812 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 3: goes on as well. The Oklahoma defense is the big 813 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 3: thing that you put on it here as to whether 814 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 3: arch Manning's going to be able to read it, how 815 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 3: they disguise things, and you know, one of the top 816 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 3: scoring defenses in the game and they give up fewer 817 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 3: than two hundred yards per game. I'm moderately intrigued by 818 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,760 Speaker 3: Arching because he's at about eight and a half yards 819 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 3: per attempt, so solid numbers, but he's going to need 820 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 3: to be better than what we've seen if he's going 821 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 3: to take down the Sooner squad. 822 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that just doesn't happen against Oklahoma, right, that 823 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: just doesn't happen. You know, it could happen against a 824 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: if you have a lower level game.
