00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: What a show we've got tonight. What a week if

Speaker 1: of a lot, Mike Harmon. Mike says Bernie, don't try

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: to tend to be reporter. I can assure you I'm

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: not pretending. By the way. Feel free, folks to pull

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: up the Bernie frattle versus Bruce Evelbin Pohle, Who do

20
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: you trust? Huh? I got sixty percent of the votes.

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: He got forty. But I digress. I want to start

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: with dump Bears. Dump Bears. There will be no meltdown

23
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: in Chicago, at least for now. Well, you know, the

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: Bears entered last night's game with some not good history

25
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: on the line. Well good history against the Washington Redskins. Yeah,

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: they beat him like seventy three to nothing seventy years ago.

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: And the rock continues. The Bears are very cathartic evening.

28
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: They get their first win in three hundred and forty

29
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: seven days. You know, I was all set to sing

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: the praises of the commanders, and I'm still gonna a

31
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: little bit hold that thought. The Commander's not two and

32
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: three man, and they look bad doing it. They lose

33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: forty to twenty. The were alling for heading into the game.

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: DJ Moore give it up to DJ Moore caught eight

35
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: balls two hundred and thirty yards wots. Calvin Johnson material

36
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, both career highs. He was a force. He

37
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: finally gave quarterback Justin Fields a competent downfield threat. The

38
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: offense looked pretty good Justin Fields looked very good last night,

39
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: relatively speaking. Fifteen to twenty nine, two hundred and eighty

40
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: two yards, four touchdowns. Interestingly enough, give credit where credits

41
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: due where it is Justin Field's ranking touchdown passes this

42
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: season number one with a bullet in the NFL. That's,

43
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: of course, an unfair stat because the rest of the

44
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: weekend has yet to come. But look, I've been all over.

45
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: Justin feels like a cheap suit, and justifiably so. But

46
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: they ran some offensive sets last night, and they threw

47
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: the ball when the Redskins, I know, I keep seeing

48
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: Redskins when the commanders thought they were gonna run and

49
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: vice versa good game plan executed it. Well, give him

50
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: some props. Okay, the last Chicago Bear quarterback to throw

51
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: for four touchdowns and back to back games. And remember

52
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: Fields has done it in back to back games. Now, yes,

53
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: you got it, Jay Cutler, all right, we move on Chicago.

54
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll throw a parade this week. But you know,

55
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: not so fast, my friend, as le Coursa would say,

56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: because we will see if this becomes a blueprint for

57
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: the Matt eber Flus era to survive. You know, a

58
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: little early for that, but because they did it against

59
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: a couple, you know, less than stellar defenses. But at

60
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: least they can enjoy their time off and read some

61
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: good headlines for once. It's a huge win up on

62
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: deck the hapless Vikings and Raiders the next two weeks,

63
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: so perhaps the Bears start to get a come up.

64
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: It's all right, all right, I was just getting ready

65
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: to sing the praises of the war Washington Commanders and

66
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: Eric Bienemy. They got my attention last week. They really

67
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: did the Commanders. They took possession of the ball against

68
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: the defending NFC champion Eagles. They were trailing thirty one

69
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: twenty four with a minute thirty six, only had one

70
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: time out. Very masterful drive sixty four yards, ten plays,

71
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: a ten yard pass samhow connected with Johan Johnson as

72
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: time ran out, the stuff legends are made of. But

73
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: when they went to overtime, the Eagles won, and of

74
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: course the Moniker riverboat ron is I think going down

75
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: the river because he elected to play for overtime instead

76
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: of trying for a two point conversion. Those are, I know,

77
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: minor details. And it's really easy to play armchair quarterback

78
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: when your butt's not on the line, Jeff to ask yourself,

79
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: if you are getting in the ring with a far

80
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: superior team, are you better off trying to one play

81
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: for two yards or you want to get in the

82
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 1: ring with him for you know, one hundred yard field

83
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: fifty five yards wide. When they've got the better team,

84
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: you sell what happen there, Sam how I do like

85
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: Sam Howe. He hited the game last week with two

86
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: fourth quarter victories in his hip pocket in three games

87
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: this season. Remember they beat Denver thirty five to thirty three,

88
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: then they beat Arizona twenty to sixteen. He would have

89
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: gotten credit for one Sunday, but Washington did not win

90
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: the game. Their defense could not hold right. But Sam

91
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: how did produce a touchdown when the ns were stacked

92
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: against him, and it's his two thousand. Last twenty three years,

93
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: NFL teams have scored fifteen touchdowns and one hundred and

94
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: thirty three drives. It's only eleven percent when trailing between

95
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: four and eight points in the fourth quarter, when their

96
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: drives are seventy yards away. Washington has done it sixteen

97
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: times now. The bottom line, they're making progress. Eric Pienemy,

98
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: the new offensive coordinator, I think he's done a good job.

99
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: His team has a the NFL or a high in

100
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: the NFL, not like a high when you smoke a joint.

101
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the NFL high sixty seven percent of

102
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: the time on early downs in the first half of

103
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: the game. But their score differential and time of possession

104
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: and thing of those of those nature, of things of

105
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: those nature, things of that nature. Easy for me to

106
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: say last time I ran a ton from that place.

107
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: Could improve, But I think the enemy's done a good job.

108
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: They rank ahead of Kansas City, Cincinnati, Miami, Buffalo, and

109
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: their offensive productions up twenty six percent over last year.

110
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: Commanders were very balanced, very balanced attack against Philadelphia, fourteen

111
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: passes and eleven runs. I want to bring that up

112
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: because I don't want to overshadow how bad Washington looked

113
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: last night with the effort they had last week. Yess,

114
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: it's two losses inside of five days, but you find

115
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: your wins, is my good. Buddy. Mark Carmon would say,

116
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: we are getting to the point in college football now

117
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: where you can buckle up and put your seatbacks forward

118
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: and your trade table's upright. Things are starting to take off.

119
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: Tomorrow Saturday for some folks. We already in Saturday. It's

120
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: Friday night at eleven oh eight pm here on the

121
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: Left Coast, But Saturday marks the end of an era

122
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: for one of the best rivalries in the history of

123
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: college football. The Texas Oklahomo game. Well, it'll be the

124
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: final one played under the Big Twelve banner. Both schools

125
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: are set to join the SEC next year. I don't

126
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: know if they'll get to play every year, right, but

127
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: this is by far the most high profile regular season

128
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: meeting between these two and over ten years now. They

129
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: did meet in twenty eighteen the Big twelve title game

130
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: the Longhorns. I was wrong about Texas so far. I

131
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: was wrong. I probably owe my buddy Joe fortenbaughn apology,

132
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: but I can't. I still could never get by Steve,

133
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: get behind Steve Sarkesian, and you know he may still

134
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: well screw us up. And man, if you look at

135
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: Texas at the line of scrimmage on both sides, and

136
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: their skilled players and their quarterback, and their physicality and

137
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: their depth and their speed, there's a reason they're ranked

138
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: number three. I think they beat Michigan. I think they'd

139
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: beat Florida State. They'd already beat Alabama and Alabama Sooners

140
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: ranked twelve. They're combined ranking of fifteen. Again, Longhorns three

141
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: Sooners twelve. That's the highest in thirteen years. So obviously

142
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: we've seen some down years between these two, and frankly,

143
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: to be fair, Saturday could be the first of a

144
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: couple of Texas Oklahoma games this year. The Longhorns and

145
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: the Sooners. Really they're the only two naturally ranked teams

146
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: in this Nulak Big twelve. Remember they added byu UCF

147
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and Houston. In the winner of this game, which

148
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: I think will be Texas, which I'm going to handicap

149
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour, the winner, I think

150
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: I'll have a clear path of the conference championship game.

151
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: The loser will have a shot out of advancing to

152
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: the title game. Winner they'll have a leg up. Now,

153
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: we've seen Texas already on a big stage this season,

154
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: but we've yet to see Oklahoma play an opponent with

155
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: this similar talent level. Now, this Texas team, it seems

156
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: real for the reasons I just gave, But is it actually?

157
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: Is it smoking mirrors? Are they setting you up for

158
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: a fall? That's what's happened during the Steve Sarkisi there.

159
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever won nine game more nine

160
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: games in a regular season. So Texas, I think both

161
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: the superior resume. Right again, they beat Alabama. The two

162
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: teams do match up exceptionally well. Both got high powered offenses,

163
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: stingy defenses. Go figure Oklahoma and by the way, is

164
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: averaging forty seven points a game, Texas averaging thirty six.

165
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: But on defense, Sooners have only allowed just under eleven

166
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: points per game, and their five games Lincoln Riley leaves

167
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: and they've got a good defense. Who knew right, the

168
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: long runs have only allowed twelve. I think Texas has

169
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: had the better resume. But again, if it's anybody's guess

170
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: how the game will play out, I'm gonna go probably

171
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: go with Texas, but I will make a bold prediction

172
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: it will not resemble last year's forty nine zip Texas.

173
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: You know, prison Muggy Ford Texas beat in forty nine

174
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: to nothing last year. That won't happen. Saturday, coming up,

213
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: how are you, Berbie? It's been too long, it has, Bud,

214
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: and I'm glad to have you tonight because it seems

215
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of storylines forming. I want to

216
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: start with the Jets Denver game. Is the bloom off

217
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: the rose and Saron Rodgers is not playing? Or to

218
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: what degree will the coaches seem to remember what was

219
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: said back in August.

220
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: In terms of the controversy It's definitely going to be

221
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: discussed throughout that, throughout the weekend, into the broadcast. At

222
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: a certain point, I don't know how much either coaching

223
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 3: staff is really thinking about that, because they, frankly both

224
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 3: have bigger issues. The Denver Broncos have the statistically worst

225
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 3: defense through four games in I think since nineteen eighty

226
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 3: one if lee, whereas the Jets, obviously without Aaron Rodgers

227
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 3: did with any number of offensive issues. They're the defense

228
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 3: still very potent, but that's only one side of the ball.

229
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 3: All which to say is I think those are going

230
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: to be the focuses for the respective teams, even if

231
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 3: the national narrative is going to be a little different.

232
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: No, exactly. My other way, I'm glad you brought up

233
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: Denver's defense. They were a top ten defense last year.

234
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: What happened in your view?

235
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 3: Honestly, this is one of the biggest mysteries in the

236
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 3: NFL to me this season, because you're right, they weren't

237
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: just a good defense, they were one of the better

238
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 3: defenses in the NFL. And the roster on defense is

239
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: actually not that different. I know they just got rid

240
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 3: of Randy Gregory, but he wasn't the base contribute to

241
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: their success last year either you know they still had

242
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: or still have patricks Er Can arguably the best corner

243
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: in the NFL. They have other playmakers in that secondary

244
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: playmakers at the second level the linebacking course. So I

245
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: don't really know why this team has gone from one

246
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: of the best in the NFL too, not just the worst,

247
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 3: like being the worst NFL this year would be a problem,

248
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 3: but again they are the worst through four games by

249
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: certain efforts, including DVOA since nineteen eighty one. It is

250
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: really hard to explain how a unit goes from that

251
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 3: good to that bat There's not a big personal adjustment.

252
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: I know it's a different person called the defense de fence.

253
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: Joseph now is not Jiro everro, But still that shouldn't

254
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: be possible with that same group of players, and you

255
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: know it's going to be a question until they get

256
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: it fixed. I don't know how to get that fixed

257
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: the season.

258
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: You bring up a lot of good points, as you

259
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: recall last year, through the first nine games Denver, had

260
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: they merely averaged nineteen points a game in regulation, it

261
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: would have been eight and one. By the way, I'm

262
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: glad you brought up Randy Gregory because Dallas wave goodbye

263
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: to Randy Gregory the year before and their defense got better.

264
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: But I digress, Jason, Let's talk about Thursday night's game.

265
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: Justin Fields had a bit of a coming out party.

266
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: I feel like, regardless of what happens between now and

267
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, I don't think Justin Field's

268
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: will be the start in quarterback in Chicago in twenty

269
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: twenty four. Am I wrong?

270
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: On the one hand, I'm cautioned to say it's a

271
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: little too early to say that, But then you look

272
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: at all the other information here. You know, his two

273
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 3: best games of the season were against that aforementioned terrible

274
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: Denver Broncos defense. He then had another good performance against

275
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: in Washington Commander's defense that itself is not particularly good.

276
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: And then you look at the Bears as a whole.

277
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: You know, they're they're one in four now, still a

278
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: pretty bad record. They have potentially the inside track the

279
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 3: top two picks in the twenty twenty four NFL Draft. That,

280
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 3: of courseately just draft. We all expect Caleb Williams to

281
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 3: come out in and you know, if it wasn't that draft,

282
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: I think there'll probably be a little more patience. But

283
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: if you're if you're Bears manages there, if you're running

284
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: that front offs, if you're Ryan Poles, and you have

285
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 3: the option of going with jeffin Fild, Let's say you

286
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 3: even maintained some of display throughout the year. Even though

287
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 3: I have question is about that, do you want to

288
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: go Austin Field going into what will be his fifth

289
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: year option decision point or do you want to maybe

290
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: reset the clock with one of the most talented quarterback

291
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: prospects we've seen in but five, maybe even ten years,

292
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: have to go back to Dangel luck to find someone

293
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 3: who is I guess Trevor Lawrens is comparably assessed, but

294
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 3: you get my point, like, this is potentially generational quarterback

295
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: prospect that they could have the inside track the draft,

296
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: and I think that just forces your hand to say,

297
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: if we still have questions about this quarterback, we have

298
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 3: to pivot this other way, because you know, there's this

299
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 3: thing as a perfect prospect. But Calebill he is just

300
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: going to make a very compelling case to be that

301
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: guy for a lot of teams. So I think it's

302
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: gonna be really hard for Justin Fields. Even in acknowledging

303
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 3: what he's up the past two weeks for him to

304
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: hold onto that job beyond the twenty twenty three season.

305
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 3: It's just a perfect recipe for that team to move

306
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,479
Speaker 3: on this offseason.

307
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: Talking with Justin hershar and Pile founder or the elite former

308
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: writer NFL College Football, Justin, I want to jump to

00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Baltimore, Pittsburgh go Home Dog. And this has been

310
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: a nail bider series for the better part of more

311
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: than a decade. For whatever reason, Pittsburgh seems to be

312
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: not firing under all cylinders like they typically do. With

313
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. What are your thoughts there, Well.

314
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 3: I would say is for a very clear reason. It's

315
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 3: because of the way that offense is run. You know,

316
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 3: this has got a lot of attention obviously with Matt Canada,

317
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: the second year offensive coordinator there, but take the name

318
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: out of it just to look at what they're doing

319
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 3: on the field. You know they're using motion at certain

320
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: situations where it's only going to be a run or

321
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 3: a short pass and defense is a caught up to that.

322
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: Whether they're more statics, you know that it's going to

323
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 3: be a pass further down the field. And again, if

324
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 3: you and I know this, we're talking about this. You

325
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 3: know that NFL defensive coordinators are well aware of those

326
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 3: of that information. So if it's that predictable, and it

327
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: might be the most predictable offense not just the NFL

328
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 3: this year, but in the last five years, then it's

329
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 3: going to be difficult when you don't have extremely good talent.

330
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: And right now the Steelers just don't have that much

331
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: talent on the offense. Now, they have some guys that

332
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: can make plays. Obviously, George Pickens, second year player, has

333
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: thus far proven to be a pretty effective playmaker, but

334
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 3: Kenny Picktt has just not thus far developed into the

335
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 3: kind of care if he'd overcome those schematic obstacles. And

336
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 3: when one side of the ball is as bad as

337
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 3: the Steelers have been and the defense wall still good,

338
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: you know it's the NFL is not geared for defensive success.

339
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 3: I think we all know that it's been the case

340
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: for a long time. Now it's going to be really

341
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 3: hard to win and in that division. And I know

342
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 3: the Bengals have not played very well, but their stole

343
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 3: team that we can be competitive. Those Ravens look very dangerous.

344
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: The Crowns in the right weak especially with their defense

345
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 3: to be dangerous. So it's just not a recipe for success,

346
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: as we keep coming back to, I think until they

347
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: fix that defense, and that's probably something they can't pick

348
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 3: the off season, they're not going to be able to

349
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: be for anything meaningful.

350
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: No, you bring up a good point in Matt Ebelerfu

351
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: the eber Fluse was a defensives specialist, so that remains

352
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: a mystery as well. We talked about the Jets, let's

353
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: talk about the other New York team. You know that

354
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: both the Jets and the Giants are duking it out

355
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: for maybe the two worst teams in football. Interesting stat, Jason,

356
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: The Giants and the Jets are the only two teams

357
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL this year they haven't had the lead

358
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: at any time during the course of a game the

359
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: entire season. Meanwhile, the Giants outscored sixty four to three

360
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: at home and they've got Miami this week. What is

361
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: happening in Brian Dable in New York.

362
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: I think it's really just the law of averages coming

363
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 3: back to bite them. If you go back to the

364
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two seasons, that was Brian Eboll's first year

365
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,239
Speaker 3: as the head coach of the Giants. You know, it

366
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 3: was kind of a Smoke and Beers operation on offense.

367
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 3: I mean, especially that first half of his first season there.

368
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 3: They weren't even really trying to conduct a normal passiga.

369
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: They were using Daniel Jones, you know, in some ways

370
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 3: kind of like you would with an option quarterback. There

371
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 3: a lot of designed runs, there were pitches involved, like

372
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 3: they were doing things that normally set the NFL level

373
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: because they understood that they were at a talent deficiency.

374
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: Now they have more talent on that side of the

375
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 3: ball this year than they did last year, especially in

376
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: the receiving boarder, but that still isn't an overly talented unit.

377
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 3: And you compound that with injuries obvious Andrew Thompson is

378
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 3: going through some things. It's just really hard to move

379
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 3: the ball that way, and that defense just you know,

380
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: it wasn't a great unit before, still not a great unit.

381
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: It's just hard to win the situation now. Because you asked,

382
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: I think we know exactly what's going on there. They

383
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: built the entire thing to run around Aaron Rodgers. He's

384
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 3: not there. There's nothing you can do with that, right,

385
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,719
Speaker 3: Like Aaron Rodgers is not coming back anytime soon until

386
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 3: he's there, or until they find some sort of other solution,

387
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 3: it's just going to be a really difficult, difficult time

388
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: moving the ball. Zach Wilson and Zach Wilson, we've seen

389
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 3: this show before and they're not going to learn new

390
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: information about him this year. So all I have to

391
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 3: say is those teams are dealing with own deficiencies more

392
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 3: than anything else. And yeah, that's an off season solution,

393
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: not an in season one.

394
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: Wrapping it up with Jason Hershorn, co founder of the Leap,

395
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: a green Bay Packers newsletter. So let's take it to

396
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: your wheelhouse and Monday night, Jason green Bay is here

397
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Looks like Jimmy Garoppolo will play. I'm

398
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: not sure if the Vante Adams well, but I'd rather

399
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: deal with the larger storyline here. People are screaming for

400
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel's head, but I'm told that Mark Davis actually

401
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: likes him, and I think he's going to survive irrespective

402
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: of his record. What are you hearing?

403
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,479
Speaker 3: I haven't heard any serious discussion of Josh McDaniels getting

404
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 3: fired out. We're in early October, right, like, if this

405
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: continues into November, and especially into December, that narrative can flip.

406
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 3: But right now, I do think they want to give

407
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 3: Josh McDaniels in that staff time. Remember this is only

408
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 3: year two. They're going through some larger changes. Obviously they

409
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 3: are Derek car for so many years, you know. Now

410
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 3: they went with the more band aids LUTIONI Jimmy Garoppolo.

411
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: They don't know who their long term outlook is going

412
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: to be under center. I think they want to at

413
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 3: least give Josh McDaniels bad opportunity to identify that player

414
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 3: and build around and if they can, and frankly it's

415
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 3: going it might take a little work, like they have

416
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 3: to play better over the course of the season. But

417
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: Josh McDaniels did not forget how to coach offense, and

418
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people have sort of forgotten

419
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: how effective multiple offenses under his watch had been. And

420
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 3: it's not surely a he had Tom Brady's thing. You know,

421
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: he's a very very smart offensive football coach, if nothing else.

422
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 3: And there is a lot of offensive talents on the

423
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: Las Vegas for Raiders roster and you've named you know,

424
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 3: the chief player among that, you know, DeVonta Adas and

425
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 3: you have that kind of player, you're going to be

426
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 3: able to, at least given enough time, figure something out.

427
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: I don't think that team is going to struggle this

428
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: badly throughout the year if the record may not totally.

429
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: Reflect that, Jason, I just got about thirty seconds. And

430
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: I hate to ask a question of this nature, but

431
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: if there is a coach you could envision possibly not

432
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: lasting the season and getting the ziggy who might come

433
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: to mind in the National Football League, Well, you might.

434
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 3: Have already actually seen that in season firing if the

435
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: Thursday night game had gone the other way. Matt Eberflus

436
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 3: is in serious trouble now. They won a game. They

437
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 3: want to get a and this was bad Washington Commander

438
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 3: Steam But you know, win is a win. They needed one.

439
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 3: They narrowly avoid going a full calendar year without a win.

440
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 3: You know, it's just not a good situation there that

441
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: the first season that Ebrafluse was his hair down. That

442
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 3: had very little to do with him, had everything to

443
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 3: do with the reality of their salary cap and the

444
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: state of their roster and the trade Khalil Max for

445
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 3: second round pick, just because they knew they weren't to

446
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: be able to be with that you might as well

447
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 3: get an ACCT of quality form one you can and

448
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 3: beg other moves like that, that trade Robert Quinn basically

449
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 3: trade everything that wasn't nailed down and on the rookie contract.

450
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 3: And now they're supposed to show the results, right Like

451
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 3: Justin Field has weapons. They acquired DJ Moore, they added

452
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 3: to that offensive line. They spent pretty extensively on the

453
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 3: middle layer of that defense. I mean, they still really

454
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 3: have a pass rush, but at least there's no money

455
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 3: being spent there. And you know, this is a team

456
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 3: that was supposed to be for the super Bowl. Nobody

457
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 3: really thought that, but they were supposed to be more

458
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 3: competitive than they were through the first four weeks. And

459
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 3: you know, if that those night game proves to be

460
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: just an anomaly, and there's a real chance that that's

461
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 3: the case, I don't know that Averflos is going to

462
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: make it through the year. I think's actually very likely

463
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 3: that he wouldn't because you know, Ryan Poles is second

464
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 3: year general manager, but technically he's hired ever Flutes, but

465
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: not exactly, he was the general manager or he was

466
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 3: higher general manager. After they had started the interview process

467
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 3: for the head coach, so I'm not sure they're quite

468
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 3: as tied as other g and the head coaches are.

469
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 3: And yeah, if this continues, not the Thursday night thing,

470
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: but the previous four weeks. If that proves to be

471
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: the real trend, then I think he repos ends up

472
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 3: being the guy who gets fire.

473
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: Source Jason, good stuff. As always, it's kittsche on again

474

Speaker 1: Texas Oklahoma. But first let's go to our guy who

00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: always mullywops the competition. He'll be Kevin Figgers with the latest.

481
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 5: Thank you, Bernie.

482
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 6: We'll start with college football from Friday night, a couple

483
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 6: of games on the FBSD one Slate nightcap seeing Nebraska

484
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 6: when it's Big ten tilt over Illinois by the score

485
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 6: of twenty to seven, one hundred and fifty eight rushing

486
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 6: yards there for the Huskers, and a couple of scores

487
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 6: to improve.

488
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 5: To three and three on the year.

489
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 6: Earlier in the night, Oklahoma State defeated Kansas State twenty

490
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 6: nine to twenty one, and NFL Newspackers offensive tackle David

491
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 6: Baktiari announced he will have surgery on his left knee

492
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 6: and will miss the remainder of the season. It'll be

493
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 6: the fifth surgery on that knee for the two time

494
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 6: All Pro since twenty Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo did clear

495
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 6: concussion protocol and we'll start on Monday night against Green Bay.

496
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 6: Forty nine Ers acquired defensive end Randy Gregory from le

497
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 6: Broncos for a sixth round draft pick. The Dolphins traded

498
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 6: a sixth round pick to the Bears for receiver Chase

499
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 6: Claypool and a seventh rounder a Major League Baseball Rangers

500
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 6: pitcher Mex Schuzer. Three to live hitters for the first

501
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 6: time since mid September. Still no word on if you

502
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 6: will be added to the Alds roster. They will take

503
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 6: on Baltimore in Game one of their series Saturday at

504
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 6: two pm Eastern on FS one.

505
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 5: Back to Bernie Freddo.

506
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: All right, thanks so much, Kevin. So the beauty of

507
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: the Texas Oklahoma game Saturday is Folks are hoping that

508
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: it returns to the classic form. There was a time

509
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: when it absolutely resembled a heavyweight fight every year. You

510
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: know where you know Mike Tyson fight. I mean back

511
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine when Texas advanced to the

512
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: National Championship game, they were ranked third. They beat Oklahoma

513
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: to thirteen, and Mack Brown even said this was more

514
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: like a fight than a football game. And it's been

515
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: that way, except it's really diminished over the last few years.

516
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: Last season, as I mentioned, the Sooners got blown out

517
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: forty nine to nothing. But Oklahoma has done a lot.

518
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: They were only six and seven last year. They've really

519
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: done a lot to backfill. They were allowing four and

520
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: sixty yards a game last year, thirty points a game.

521
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: They went out signed seven stud defensive recruits, the most

522
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: since the rankings began back in two thousand and six.

523
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: The type of rankings in terms of raking prospects. One

524
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: of those players Peyton Brown, you'll hear his name, safety

525
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 1: number seventeen overall in the class. He leads Oklahoma with

526
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: four passes, breaking up in two block punts. So very

527
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: opportunistic team Oklahoma has been. And again Oklahoma's only allowed

528
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: fifty four points the entire season. That's the IF used

529
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: by a Big Ten team over the first five games

530
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: since two thousand and nine, when Oklahoma did it and

531
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: Nebraska also did it. Go figure Lincoln Riley Leaves and

532
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: the defense gets a lot better. Talked about that. Last week.

533
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: Texas meanwhile five and zero for the first time since

534
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, and the last time they started

535
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: five and oh, they won the Big Twelve. They advanced

536
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: the championship game against Alabama played with the Rose Bowl.

537
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: Happen to be at that game. That's the game where

538
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy got hurt. I think in the first series

539
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: in the game became a foe gone conclusion. Texas, I

540
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: think impressed me more than any other time this season

541
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: last week because they not only beat Kansas, a very

542
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: well coached team by Lance Leipold, they beat it by

543
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: twenty six points. That's their largest win in an AP

544
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: rank matchup again going back fifteen years when they beat

545
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State by a margin. So you're talking about offenses

546
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: having huge days. Texas six hundred and sixty one yards

547
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: last week, the most in a conference game in the

548
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: Big Twelve since nineteen ninety six. Oklahoma scored fifty or

549
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: more points in the first three games three of the

550
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: first five games this season, and so what we have

551
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: here is the makings of a fitting throwback these two

552
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: teams their final Big Twelve version. This is an historic rivalry,

553
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: all part of the State Fair where if you like

554
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: fried foods, they have over seventy choices of fried foods

555
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: at the State Fair. If there's only one game I

556
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: could watch Saturday, it would be Oklahoma and Texas, but

557
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: I would probably sneak peak at Texas and Ambama and

558
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: Arizona State Colorado coming up. I want to dive into

559
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: those two games too, because my choice on who I

560
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: think is going to win might surprise you. Tonight she

586
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: A couple of other college games. I will have a

587
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: great interest in because look, I like Nicksaban. I'm a

588
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: Nick saban Fant Alabama's laying three A Texas A and M.

589
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: Alabama's looked better each in the last two weeks, but

590
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: from being honest to Tide will, they faced a very

591
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: short handed Old Miss team that was a must win

592
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: game at home in Alabama. Then they follow up that

593
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: blowout at Mississippi State. I don't think Mississippi State's real good.

594
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: Just look what LSU did to them a few weeks back.

595
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: So you can't really say everything's back to normal in Alabama. Okay,

596
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: they've got question marks. Jalen Milroe their quarterback, they does

597
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: give Bama the best chance to but he's very limited

598
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: as a passer. That could spell doom against Texas A

599
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: and M and their defense because they fixed their issues

600
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: against the run from a season ago, so you can

601
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: expect they'll put a spy on Jalen Milroe and he

602
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: just can't take off of a run and improvise whenever he likes.

603
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: That could be an issue He's going to get hit now.

604
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: On the season, the Aggies Texas A and m Aggie's

605
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: ranked seventeenth nationally in rush success rate and they're only

606
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: allowing two point nine yards per carry on the ground.

607
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: That's a massive improvement from last year. Last year, Texas

608
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: A and M ranked one hundred and eighth and they

609
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: were giving up almost five yards on the ground. Why

610
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: because they've put together a front seven that is loaded.

611
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: They ranked fifteenth top nationally in defensive line yards. And

612
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: what's interesting, they bring over Bobby Petrino to run the offense.

613
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: You know, I talked about Texas, Texas A and M's

614
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: NIL program last year in the massive amount of money

615
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: they spent Nicole Leicester combined about thirty million dollars and

616
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: they brought in all kinds of phenomenal recruits and it

617
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: just it fell on his face. Well, I don't know,

618
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: maybe these guys are maturing, but as a result of

619
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: what I've just told you, Texas A and M, what

620
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: they're doing is they're shutting down their opponents on the

621
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: ground and early downs, so they're forcing them into you know, tough,

622
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: challenging down in distant situations in which most of the

623
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: time you're going to expect that the team is going

624
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: to have to pass. So similar to what you saw

625
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: with Texas, well, A and M has really got the

626
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: juice and they got the athletes to cause major disruption

627
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: against Alabama up front. I kind of expect that to happen.

628
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: We'll see it's going to be a real slugfest. Meanwhile,

629
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: you know Texas A and M like him or not.

630
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: Bobby Patrino like him or not. Jimbo Fisher brought him in.

631
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: They've really modernized that offense and they're approving every week.

632
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: The defense is one of the most improved units in

633
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: the country. They had the terrible down here last year,

634
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: but they are better. Texas A name is better. They

635
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: got to prove it on the field, all right, But

636
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: I don't see much of a drop off at all

637
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: between their two quarterbacks, Connor Wegman, who's out for the year.

638
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: He would have been the starter. Max Johnson, the son

639
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 1: of Brad Johnson Super Bowl Brad Johnson. First four games

640
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: of this season, he's looked very serviceable a lefty right

641
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: so I think you can reasonably trust the Texas A

642
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: and M passing attack more than Bama's passing attack. So

643
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: that's an area where the Texas A and m Aggies

644
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: have a talent edge over Alabama. I like Nick Saban

645
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: it'll be an NFNA for that program. I visited the

646
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: campus this last summer. It'll be an n n FNA

647
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: for Bama fans to lose their second game and we're

648
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: not even out of October. Ultimately, I think the egg

649
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: is get this done. They're probably gonna win the battle

650
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: in the tranches on both ends. They're gonna have the

651
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: ability to sustain drives because a level, bitter, balanced attack

652
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: through the air and on the ground. Bama has struggled

653
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: in road games, you know that, not just this season,

654
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: in the recent season. As a matter of fact, Bama

655
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: has gone five and ten against to spread in their

656
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: last or in black their last fifteen road games on

657
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: the road Department of Redundancy department that since twenty nineteen,

658
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: including two and five against is spread against ranked opponents,

659
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: of which Texas A and M is ranked and Texas

660
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: A and M is an underdog at home. So remember

661
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: what happened to Alabama back in twenty twenty one the

662
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: last time they visited College Station. They lost outright and

663
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: they were laying eighteen points. Boyle, times have changed. We

664
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 1: will see what happens. It's a game I want to watch,

665
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: though the other game very much, I see. You know,

666
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: there hasn't been a lot of talk about Colorado this week.

667
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: Maybe people are mentally fatigued about the story. I'm not

668
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: I think the story is getting started. But I believe

669
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: if you're a Colorado fan, you must be a little

670
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: concerned that the team is mentally fatigue. Colorado to start

671
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: this season at five straight games with mass hype, and

672
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: then you know the last two between Oregon and USC,

673
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, and I give Colorado top credit

674
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: for fighting last week, and they're down. They're getting banged up.

675
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: No Travis Hunter, Shadow Sanders didn't play. I think Shador

676
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: Sanders is a little nicked up. So how much gas

677
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: does Colorado have in the tank? They're starting to look

678
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: like they might be running on empty a little bit. Now,

679
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: there's a high probability, I believe. I know it's against

680
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: the law of practice psychology with lout a license. I

681
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 1: just get a funny feeling. Colorado gets to the desert

682
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: in Tempee, that's a four and a half point underdog,

683
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: and they come out a little flat. I just feel

684
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: they come out a little flat and they've got depth concerns.

685
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: No more. Travis Center is still not bad for what

686
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: it's worth. Here's the thing, how do you get up

687
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: week after week after week, like Deon Sanders has done

688
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: to start, and this high crescendo, you know, a highly

689
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: charged atmosphere. The other thing, too, is Colorado is a

690
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: road favorite. They're laying four and a half. They don't

691
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: exactly profile is a great road favorite because they can't

692
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: run the ball. The numbers show that out and they

693
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: don't really play a whole hell of a lot of defense.

694
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,959
Speaker 1: So from a matchup perspective, that's gonna help Arizona State.

695
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: They're grayed out very well against the pass. That's a

696
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: massive issue against the Colorado offense. It's been completely religned

697
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: on the pass. And why not. Shdor Sanders is a

698
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: first round quarterback. I believe we'd be drafted in the

699
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: first round, so you know, and I would say this,

700
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: I've seen down explosiveness. Colorado trails only Michigan call Ohio

701
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: State in Georgia, but they're going up against a very

702
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: good defense. They're gonna have to the irony by the way,

703
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: I should include this, Arizona State struggles immensely to contain

704
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: teams and their opposing running attacks, as it were, But

705
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that's much of a concern against Colorado

706
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: because they have the seventh lowest yard rush rate in

707
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: the entire country. They averaged two point six yards per carry.

708
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: So Arizona State's had back to back covers. But you

709
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: have to hold your nose a little bit to grab them.

710
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: But I am grabbing Arizona State and the points. On Saturday,

711
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: I know they had that thirty eight nothing lost to

712
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: Fresno State. They got shut out at home for the

713
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: first time in like thirty five years. And in that game, though,

714
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: the Sun Devils had eight turnovers and they went through

715
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: like three or four quarterbacks because people kept getting hurt.

716
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: But they rebounded, Okay, they looked more than adequate throwing

717
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: the ball downfield through for three hundred and forty four

718
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: yards last week against Cal I would say their quarterback

719
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: Trenton Borgie, he's their best option. Should have no issues

720
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: moving the ball through the air. On Colorado, by the way,

721
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: not for nothing, Arizona State forty six and thirty one

722
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: against the spread home conference openers in the last seventeen

723
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: years only Kansas and wake Forest. Kansas State and wake

724
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: Forest are better. So I like Arizona State plus four

725
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: and a half, and I do like Texas A and

726
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: M plus the three against Alabama. Full lines are open

727
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: eight seven seven nine nine six six three six '

757
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 5: in the NHL draft this year?

758
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 3: Connor mcdart from Dart went to the Blackhawks.

759
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: Mark, Blackhawks. He's got it right. He nailed at Connor Bandard.

760
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: I know it sounded funny coming over the phone, but

761
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 1: boy that was. They had their eyes on him for

762
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: for a while and he's so we'll see what happens,

763

00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 3: You know, I like TJ throughout the game, and I

769
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 3: think the Falcons are gonna do a little bit of something,

770
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 3: so give me that over.

771
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: I actually like the other side. I think both teams

772
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: need to establish your running attack, and neither quarterback has

773
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: really been able to well, I take that back. CJ.

774
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: Stroud has been outstanding. Uh No, I'm gonna go wonder though.

775
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stand her. Emmett. Maybe you're right, buddy, we'll see,

776
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go under.

00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna step down my tongue there. CJ. Stroud's been

Speaker 3: Uh yeah for uh two eb And I think you know.

805
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 3: Kershaw is a great pitcher, and he's gonna have a

806
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 3: lot of uh you know, a lot of hits.

807
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 1: Because they're gonna put I'm gonna go with the over,

Speaker 3: Lot of runs over.

00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 1: So actually I gotta go against you, Poppy. I'm gonna

811
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: go on the under. Kershaw has been pretty solid this season.

812
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: But one of the things that draws my attention. The

813
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: game will start six to twenty Pacific time. They're gonna

814
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 1: be shadows, and the first three, three or four innings

815
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: maybe through first three innings, there'll be a very difficult

816
00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: hitting background. So uh, I'm gonna I'm gonna who uh,

817
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with the uh the under in that game.

818
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 3: Good luck, Bernie, Thank you?

819

Speaker 1: Claypool? Judges will allow it. Chase Claypool in one of

829
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: the oddest transit. You know, that's like just getting rid

830
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: of them, right, I mean, I understand he's got some

831
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: attitude issues. Stay home, man, stay home anyway. Watch him

832

Speaker 1: go to my watch him go to Miami and light

833
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,560

834
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 5: Number twelve Oklahoma is taking on number three Texas in

835
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 5: the All State Red River Rivalry at nine am Pacific

836
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 5: Standard time later today. Texas is going into the game

837
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 5: minus five. Do they cover?

838
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: Love?

839
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 3: Oklahoma?

840
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: Interesting? Hard to go get? Said defense Stingy defense, but

841
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: they haven't kept fast company like Texas has. I know,

842
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting to get burned. I'm waiting to get

843
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: burned by by Steve's Arkeesian, but I gotta lay the wood.

844
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: I just think this Texas team, on both sides of

845
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: the ball, is the best Texas team I've seen in

846
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 1: fifteen years. So you may be right. You may get me, Kurt,

847
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna I agree with Burne. I agree with you.

848
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 3: I think it's the emotion of the forty nine to

849
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 3: nothing last year.

850
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 1: Yes, that's gonna matter of Oklahoma steaming. Yeah, that's fair.

851
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: That's fair. I talked about that earlier in the show.

852
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: We'll see how that factors in. But you're you're You're

853
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: absolutely right, and that that's got to be weighing in

854
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: the back of their minds. So I think it'll be

855
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: much closer than that. We both know that. All Right,

856
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: Good luck, Hurt, Thanks burn having a good night. Thank you, Kurt.

857
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: All right.

858
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 5: Next, we got Nathan from Orlando.

859
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 1: How you doing, Nathan, Nathan? Okay, evening, evening morning? Okay?

860
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: What we got Jake?

861
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 5: This athlete one Auburn. It's second Heisman trophy in nineteen

862
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 5: eighty five and went on to play in the NFL

863
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 5: and the MLB, playing for the Kansas City Royals and

864
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 5: the Raiders.

865
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 7: The Auburn.

866
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: Is that buzzer Nick? That would be Vincent Edward bow Jackson.

867
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: Oh all right, all right, not easy, all right.

868
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 5: Number twenty three LSU is taking on number twenty one

869
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 5: Missouri at nine am Pacific Standard time later today. The

870
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 5: over under is set at sixty four. What do you

871
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 5: guys have.

872
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm going under. Yeah, I am two. I am too,

873
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: Missouri's five. And oh, they play pretty good defense in

874
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,720
Speaker 1: LSU has yet to show that they can't good defense,

875
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: but athletically Brian Kelly's teams get better. That's a lot

876
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: of points for division game. Yeah, they put up These

877
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: teams haven't played in three years, and they put up

878
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 1: fifty six three years ago. But both teams lots of yards,

879
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: passing yards, lots of rushing yards and all that. I

880
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: think in this matchup, though, you're gonna see a grinder.

881
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: I think that's going over sixty four points, So we'll

882
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: see what happens. All right.

883
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 5: Thanks Davian, thank you, thank you. And last we got

884
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 5: Dave from Phoenix. How you doing Dave.

885
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: There he is, I did, Bernie. I haven't seen the

886
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: standings yet, but I do believe you're in first place.

887
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: I think, I sure hope. So all right, you just

888
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: got to pull the kick here and close it out,

889
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: all right?

890
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 5: Which two teams are in the WNBA finals?

891
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: Oh, that would be the Las Vegas Aces and the

892
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: New York Liberty. Look at that it opens up here Sunday.

893
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: We'll see if the Aces can go back to back.

894
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: What's interesting, that's really been a home and home series. Uh,

895
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: the Liberty has beaten the Aces in New York and

896
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: the Aces beat him here. Although the Liberty did beat

897
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: the Aces here in the Commissioner's Cup game. So I

898
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: think this series is going to go down to the

899
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: wire wall. We'll see what happens, all right.

900
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 5: The Saints are taking on the Patriots on Sunday at

901
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 5: ten am Pacific Standard time. The line is even who

902
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 5: you guys got?

903
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: Oh boy?

904
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 8: New England?

905
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 5: Right?

906
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 1: No, yes, it is yet New England. It's it's yeah,

907
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: even money.

908
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,439
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take New England to win that game.

909
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: I am too. It's a fade on the Saints and

910
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: Derek Carr I told you their offense wouldn't be any good.

911
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: They can't even get to twenty points a game. Their

912
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: defense is okay, but that Dennis Allen Derek Carr combo

913
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: proves to just be death for better. So I'm with you.

914
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: And New England is better than they have shown, and

915
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 1: they've had a pretty tough schedule out of the gate,

916
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,919
Speaker 1: and I think they get right again, iright. You hope

917
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: you're right as well? All right, tonight?

918
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 5: That is it?

919
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,720
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Davi right, hopefully, thank you, good luck, Dave,

920
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: good luck, thank you to all the callers. Hopefully we

921
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: get the standings out this week. Still two more weeks

922
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: after this week, and it was quite a battle for

923
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: the last two weeks last year, and I expected to

924
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,520

Speaker 1: believing or not already into Week six of college football,

945
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: and through week five, plenty storylines are forming. Can't it

946
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: up to Kentucky in the running back Ray Davis. You

947
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: know brock Bowers deservedly so gets a hell of a

948
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: lot of press and he should. But don't go to

949
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: sleep on on Ray Davis. Kentucky running back. Kentucky rolled.

950
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: They not only beat Florida last week, they beat him

951
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 1: thirty three to fourteen thanks to a phenomenal day from

952
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: their running back Ray Davis. Twenty six carries, two hundred

953
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: and eighty yards, two hundred and eighty yards, four total touchdowns.

954
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: Kentucky beats the Gators third consecutive year for the first

955
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: time well since President Harry Truman was in office. You

956
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: can google that thanks to Ray Davis. And I was

957
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: surprised how physical Kentucky was on both sides of the ball.

958
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't have a great quarterback. It looked very shaky

959
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: against Vanderbilt. I'm glad I didn't bet the game because

960
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: I went to have coyones to bet Kentucky last week.

961
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: They were a short road home dog. But they're five

962
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: and zero now and guess what they get Georgia Saturday.

963
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: And I gotta say you, I think that game is

964
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: gonna be a hard fought game. It's a back landed

965
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: compliment that George is getting a bit because they're not

966
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: blowing teams out. People are saying, well, Georgia might be

967
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: a little down this year, you know what, until somebody

968
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: actually beats him, just you know, you know, get yourself

969
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: a cold compress, lie down with some warm milk and

970
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: soft music. George is good just because they're not killing teams.

971
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: So the winner that comes to mind is Kentucky and

972
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: Ray Davies. The looser that comes to mind is USC

973
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: and their defense. You told us you were better, You're

974
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: not better. You known tackle or the crap. Can somebody

975
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: please give Caleb Williams the defense? The dude, you know

976
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: he won the Heisman in frankly, he's putting up Hesman

977
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: numbers again this year. USC they're ranked eighth. They put

978
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: up forty eight points against Colorado. That's the good news.

979
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: The bad news they only put up They gave up

980
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: forty one. Caleb thirty of forty four hundred three yards,

981
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: six touchdowns. He did throw a pick, so he is human.

982
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: But unfortunately for Caleb Williams, his defense is not any

983
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: better than last year. The Trojans don't. I don't think

984
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: the Trojans will emerge from the PAC twelve when you

985
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: allow five hundred and sixty four yards to Colorado. Chances

986
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: are when Washington and Caleb de Boor and Michael Panix

987
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 1: and those NFL wide receivers and they're currently ranked seventh

988
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: get on the field or number nine Oregon gets on

989
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: the field, well, I think they're gonna have a field

990
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: day against US seized defense. Now we got to wait

991
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 1: a month for that. They play though, and back to

992
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: back weeks November fourth and November eleventh, and I don't

993
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 1: feel good for the Trojans. I said it last week,

994
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: and I trust my eyes and tell me a lot,

995
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe I see he can get some

996
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: tackling lessons between now and November fourth, Winter Winner Chicken Dinner,

997
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: Georgia Tighten brock Bowers the bull in Georgia and Kirby Smart.

998
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 1: They kept their twenty two game winning streak alive. They

999
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: were trailing Auburn ten nothing and they come back and

1000
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: win twenty seven to twenty once again. Brock Bowers, he

1001
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: was the reason. Caught eight balls one hundred and fifty

1002
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: seven yards, including a four forty touchdown catch and run

1003
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: with two fifty left in the game. This season already,

1004
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: brock Bowers, he's caught thirty ball four and thirteen yards,

1005
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, and he is I think he's I think

1006
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,479
Speaker 1: he's got twenty three career touchdowns now and that ties

1007
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: him with AJ Green for the second most in program history. Boy,

1008
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 1: I look at brock Barers that he could play in

1009
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: the NFL right now. When you look at you know,

1010
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: maybe next year at this time he'll be dating Taylor Swift.

1011
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: But I digress. She goes out with tight ends. From

1012
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: what I what I'm hearing the loser. I'm a big

1013
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: trendon del for fan. He used to come on as

1014
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: an analyst and he was brilliant. He was coaching at

1015
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: high school academy I think in Tennessee, and they were

1016
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: kicking button, taking names. And now he's jumped to the

1017
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,439
Speaker 1: Division one level. And as you find happened with Tony

1018
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:54,720
Speaker 1: Sanchez here in Las Vegas, had happen with Jerry Foust

1019
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:56,919
Speaker 1: back in the day at Notre Dame. They could happen

1020
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: with Todd Dodge in North Texas State. You jump from

1021
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: high school to college, you just don't have time. It

1022
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 1: doesn't work. And I like Trentilver. I didn't know he

1023
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: had anger management issues, and maybe he doesn't. But last

1024
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: Saturday he did. Dilpher, as you know, is the head

1025
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: coach at Alabama Birmingham and they lost last week. I

1026
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 1: think too late. I think he's a very good team,

1027
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: very good but they lost thirty five twenty three, and

1028
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: Delpher looked like he was having a conniption fit. He

1029
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 1: had this major sideline outburst. And here's here's the punchline.

1030
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: Wasn't directed at the referees or what I was. It

1031
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 1: was directed at an assistant coach. It was kind of

1032
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: a bad look. And uh, you know, I I don't

1033
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: know that if he did that at Lipscomb Academy and

1034
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: we just didn't know about it. This guy's won a

1035
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, man, and I've always thought he was a

1036
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: very measured guy. Not last week. When you lose your temper,

1037
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: it's usually not a story. But in this case, I

1038
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 1: think it was Milford took things too far, and I

1039
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: think I don't know what. I don't know if it

1040
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: was just an autonomic response and he caught himself. You

1041
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: don't look tough when you do that, You look stupid.

1042
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: He may be a little out of his element, and

1043
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: I never would have suspected this for a guy that's

1044
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: got such a good football mine Alabama and Birmingham. He's

1045
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: only one in four and I don't know how they

1046
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: right the ship. Not my problem. Let's go back to

1047
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: the Winter column. Baylor, Wow, what a wild comeback last week.

1048
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: They're two and three. They're on the brink of a

1049
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,720
Speaker 1: blowout loss at Central Florida. You're getting into the third quarter.

1050
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: Mid third quarter, Central Florida runs their lead up to

1051
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: thirty five seven. But here come to Bears. Must be

1052
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: a good week for Bears. Chicago Bears Thursday night and

1053
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: the Baylor Bearers last Saturday. They come roaring back twenty

1054
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: nine unanswered points, including twenty six points in the fourth quarter.

1055
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 1: Somehow Baylor escapes with a thirty six thirty five win.

1056
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: They've never trailed by twenty eight points in their entire

1057
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:13,399
Speaker 1: program history, per Live Sports, and their twenty five point

1058
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter deficit overcome, well that's the third third largest,

1059
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: and I think college football history pretty heavy stuff. All right, Well,

1060
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: for every win, there's gonna be a loser, right, but

1061
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: the loser might be the team that Baylor played UCF.

1062
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: They had to play of the year. And by the way,

1063
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: they had this sixteen yard completion from their quarterback, Timmy McLean.

1064
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard to describe. You really have to

1065
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: see it on film. He retreated twenty yards because there

1066
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: was this crazy pass rush and then all of a

1067
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: sudden he just lets the ball go to a wide

1068
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: receiver by the name of R. J. Harvey. And this

1069
00:57:56,120 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: is all on fourth and five, and unfortunately for Central Florida.

1070
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: It was for not because they actually were able to

1071
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: move the chain. So picture this fourth and five and

1072
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: then you drop back twenty yards behind the line of scrimmaging.

1073
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: You're running around like Monty Python, and you throw a

1074
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: ball to R. J. Harvey and you get the first

1075
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 1: time to keep pulpes alive, which essentially set up an

1076
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: opportunity for a field goal as time expired. That would

1077
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: have got UCF the game. It would have been the

1078
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: game winner. But their quarterback are checked at their kicker.

1079
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: And by the way, this is this guy makes my

1080
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: all time name team. His name is Colton Boomer. Colton Boomer,

1081
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: but he had a fifty nine yard field goal to

1082
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: tip and it came up short. Loser. Sorry, sorry, you

1083
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: get nothing in like it with that name Boomer. How

1084
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: do you not go to Oklahoma be a Boomer Sooner? Did?

1085
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm curious? Did Oklahoma create did they recruit Colton Boomer?

1086
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: Maybe we can have a crack research staff research that one.

1087
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: How does Colton Boomer, the kicker for Central Florida not

1088
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: get recruited by Oklahoma? All right? I don't need to

1089
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: repeat that anymore? Really win that funny? All right? Winner

1090
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 1: Missouri Brady Cook. Missouri is a very surprising five to zero.

1091
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: Remember they just joined the SEC a few years ago.

1092
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: Thanks to Brady Brady Cook. He doesn't make mistakes, does

1093
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: not make mistakes. They beat Vanderbilt and not a very

1094
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: good team thirty eight twenty one. But Cook has now

1095
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 1: broken the SEC record for consecutive passes without an interception.

1096
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 1: Who do you think he is, Dereck Jared Goff? Jared

1097
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: Goff doing that right, finishes the game thirty three or

1098
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: forty one, career high three hundred ninety five yards, four touchdowns.

1099
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: He's got three hundred and forty eight. He don't want

1100
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: to be the master of the pronoun. Missouri's quarterback Brady Cook.

1101
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: He now has three hundred and forty eight consecutive attempts

1102
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: without an interception. If he keeps it up tomorrow against LSU,

1103
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: well it would be Missouri. Well, they're gonna be making

1104
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: noise in the SEC. Okay, they'd be six to zero.

1105
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: The final loser of the night. LSU quarterback Jaden Daniels

1106
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: taking he's getting hit more than a Rocky Bell ball.

1107
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way. He's playing quarterback as

1108
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: well as anybody in the country. It's a minor miracle

1109
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: considering the number of brutal hits this guy's taking this

1110
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: year and their fifty five to forty nine loss last

1111
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: week to Old Miss. By the way, no one filed

1112
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: out in that game. Daniels was perfect twenty seven to

1113
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: thirty six, five hundred and thirteen yards, and he took

1114
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: a couple of massive Mike Tyson type hits. The first

1115
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: resulted in an end zone fumble and then he managed

1116
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: to get a fifteen yard personal file penalty for a

1117
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: late head on the other one. Also took a huge

1118
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: hit against Florida State and the season opener, Protect your quarterback,

1119
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels. He's having a hell of a year. Brian

1120
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Kelly's teams get better as a year goes on, though,

1121
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 1: so I expect that to happen. Coming up. We moved

1122
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: to baseball. The wild Cards are behind it. How about

1123
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: some takeaways from the wild card sweeps, because some very

1124
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 1: bright minds were rendered useless when you try to surmise

1125
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: what happened this last week and a couple of those series,

1126
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: all four series or sweeps. We'll get to that in

1127
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: just a second. First, let's go back to our guy

1128
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: Kevin Figures with the.

1129
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 6: Latest Okay Bernie had a couple of college football matchups

1130
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 6: on Friday night, Nebraska with a victory over Illinois twenty

1131
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 6: to seven, despite committing ten penalties for seventy yards of

1132
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 6: committing three turnovers. They improved to three and three on

1133
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 6: the season. In the Big Twelve, Oklahoma State defeated Kansas

1134
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 6: State twenty nine to twenty one, the Pokes intercepting Wildcats

1135
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 6: quarterback Will Howard three times on the night. Fox's Big

1136
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 6: Newon kickoff game today will feature fourth ranked Ohio State

1137
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 6: facing five and zero Maryland in the NFL Rates quarterback

1138
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 6: Jimmy Garoppolo cleared concussion protocol and will start on Monday

1139
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 6: night against Green Bay. The Packers will be without all

1140
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 6: pro offensive tackle David Baktiari for the remainder of the

1141
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:04,439
Speaker 6: season as he undergoes knee surgery. Lions receiver Amarassa Brown

1142
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 6: doubtful to play against Carolina with an abdominal injury. Rams

1143
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 6: receiver Cooper cup was a full participant in practice this week,

1144
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 6: and we'll make you his season debut against Philadelphia barring

1145
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 6: a setback with his hamstring injury. In a major league Baseball.

1146
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 6: The Divisional Series begins today at two pm Eastern on

1147
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 6: FS one, the Oriols hosting the Rangers, followed by the

Speaker 6: Twins taking on the Astros on FS one at four

1149
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 6: forty five Eastern.

1150
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 5: Back to Bernie Fredo.

1151
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Kevin, and of course you heard Kevin

1152
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: in about eleven hours from now, the baseball playoffs resume.

1153
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: All part of the mix. October is a very exciting

1154
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 1: sports month. And as you know, the Wildcard Series is

1155
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: no longer that one game deal, and there are three

1156
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 1: wildcard teams that make it from each from each league

1157
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 1: based the teams with the best records that didn't win

1158
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 1: their respective division. So now they're three game series and

1159
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: it's still a very short series. So in a three

1160
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: game series, as you well noticed about it and think,

1161
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: could happen, and it did get all four, all four

1162
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 1: series sweep. Rangers. Remember that fast start to Tampa Bay

1163
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: gout on they looked unbeatable the first month of the season.

1164
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 1: Well they are. Give it up for Bruce Bochie and

1165
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 1: a nice talk with him a couple months ago in

1166
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: there at Angel Stadium. Name drop, it's a very baseball thing.

1167
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: When storylines get a bunch of attention to try to

1168
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: make things look important, and the Rangers are sort of

1169
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: an there's sort of an example of this phenomenon. They

1170
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 1: bring over Bruce Bochie, They signed players, they have a

1171
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: big splash, They had crazy coverage. When the Rangers signed

1172
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: Jacob to Grom to a five year, one and eighty

1173
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: five million dollar contract, they were all excited. This Texas

1174
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: team looked like it might be on the rise. They add,

1175
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: you know this this very accomplished pitcher, and uh, of

1176
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: course you can't say anything in life without their being

1177
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 1: detried actors. People had. You know, we're very alarmed about

1178
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: this because the Raigers were committing committing a tremendous amount

1179
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: of money to a guy with who's who's that arm injury? Right?

1180
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,439
Speaker 1: And so he had arm trouble and he was thirty

1181
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: five years old, and when you know it, he's thirty

1182
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: five years old. He wound up pitching a grand total

1183
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: of thirty innings this season before having a second elbow

1184
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: injury that will now also require Tommy John surgery. Then

1185
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 1: there was a trade deadline acquisition to Max Serger, who

1186
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: was de Graham's former teammate. Again, big name, big risk

1187
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 1: when you consider Suger's age, the mileage on that arm,

1188
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: the recent injuries, and they cost him a major prospect

1189
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 1: who happens to be Texas had the trade of the

1190
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Met's Ronald Lacuney Junior's little brother Schuzer gave them a

1191
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 1: whopping forty five innings before straining a muscle in his

1192
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: throwing shoulder kept him out of the way. Wildcard Series

1193
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: will likely keep them out of the Division Series. The

1194
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Rangers signed Nathany Evaldi to a two year, thirty four

1195
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: million dollars deal in the winner, and they trade a

1196
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: prospect of the Cardinals, and look, you know, Evaldi and

1197
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: Montgomery the reasons why they're Rangers, not sure or not

1198
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: de gram Ivaldi and Montgomery just turned the Rangers into

1199
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: a team that's one series away from getting into the

1200
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: Championship Series and then of course the World Series. And

1201
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 1: the Rays had been hitting the ball like crazy all

1202
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 1: year and they rendered them you know pretty well, I

1203
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 1: guess what's the word I'm looking for? Almost said a

1204
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:47,959
Speaker 1: dirty word that I don't want to do that. Let's

1205
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: just put it this way. The Rays couldn't hit all right.

1206
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 1: There's a debate sometimes about what lengths team should go

1207
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: to to chase a wild card spot given the randomness

1208
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: of October baseball in a short series. But I really

1209
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 1: give it up to the Rangers in their front office.

1210
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: They were adamant about the value of just getting into

1211
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 1: the postseason. You get into the dance, anything can happen.

1212
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: That's why they left no stone unturned in free agency

1213
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: and it served them well. And you got a guy

1214
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 1: Bruce Bochi, My buddy Tim Flanner used to say, when

1215
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: the heat gets hot, it's hard to breathe. I want

1216
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: to be with that guy in a foxhole. Remember three

1217
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 1: championships with the Giants in twelve, twenty ten, twenty twelve,

1218
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, you talk about a guy guide in

1219
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: the ship. We'll break down the Rangers next series coming

1220
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: up top of the hour, Twins over. Blue Jays are

1221
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 1: happy for the Twins. Twins win, Twins win. They can

1222
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 1: never get by the Yankees. I think the Blue Jays

1223
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: should have just painted Yankees in the front of their jersey.

1224
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: Maybe they'd got it done. Give it up, man, The

1225
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: Twins did what they needed to do. You know, Vladimir

1226
01:06:55,360 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: Guerrero Junior, the most important you know, playoff game didn't

1227
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: look good. He's the son of a Hall of Famer.

1228
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: I think the Blue Jays really had designs to maybe

1229
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: get into the World Series. It just hasn't materialized. It

1230
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: hasn't really a mounted of much. That Jays have really

1231
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 1: not made a serious run with the al least and

1232
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: now they've been swept out of the wild Card series

1233
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: not once, but twice and three times actually, and then

1234
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 1: they missed the playoffs under the old format in twenty

1235
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 1: twenty one. Look, this is more a story about the

1236
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: Blue Jays. I think disappointment. The Twins are a good

1237
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 1: little team. All right, we'll get into the their next

1238
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 1: series coming up top of the hour. But there are

1239
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons why disappointments like this happens. I

1240
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 1: think they're very disappointed in Toronto gets swept, the lost

1241
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 1: both games at home. Look, it would be further sugg

1242
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 1: just the biggest disappointment has been Vladimir Guerrero himself. He's

1243
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, he's he had a monster year three years ago,

1244
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: was the al MVP runner up. But he's just this

1245
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: lapse and Judge been on the base pass when the

1246
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 1: Blue Jays really needed a run. And I think that

1247
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays are kind of left scratching their head

1248
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: as they head into the off season. They've got to

1249
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 1: go to our they're gonna go to arbitration with Vlad Guerrero,

1250
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: and uh, they're gonna have to spend money if they

1251
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: want to try to stay relevant, and they're not getting

1252
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: return on their investment. The Diamondbacks give it up. Who

1253
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: saw this coming? Who saw this coming that they would

1254
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 1: even get over seventy seven wins? Corbyn Carroll Corbyn, Carroll

1255
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:34,719
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll, Yes, okay, you know he's the presumptive NFL

1256
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. And if you have you watched

1257
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: Arizona play. They're young, they're athletic, they got full of

1258
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 1: piss and vinegar, and they got guys like coateell Marte,

1259
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 1: you remember him. He was doing that in Mookie Bets

1260
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 1: infield outfield thing before Mookie Betts shortstopped the second baseman

1261
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 1: in centerfield and second basement, then a centerfielder, then a

1262
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: second baseman ranked fourth the MVP ranking back in twenty nineteen,

1263
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, he brought power into his game.

1264
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: And he's the guy the fans across the country thought

1265
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 1: they might be able to trade for because they didn't

1266
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: know Arizona would be doing this well. And now they

1267
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 1: are in the American League or checked at the National

1268
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: League Division Series. After they knocked out the Brewers, Marte

1269
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: took Brewers as corwyn Burns deep one hundred and eight

1270
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 1: mile an our home run the tie game one, very fight.

1271
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: They were down three to nothing the next thing, you know,

1272
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: I think it was three to three. Then he adds

1273
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: a two run single in a walk. He has help

1274
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:38,599
Speaker 1: in this lineup, by the way, more than he did.

1275
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to carry this team. And you know

1276
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 1: what you feel like, if Arizona you're playing with houses money,

1277
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: So good on Arizona. I bet him game one, didn't

1278
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: have the guts to bet him game two. I like

1279
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:51,759
Speaker 1: the bed Dogs in the playoffs. They pay off really well. Meanwhile,

1280
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: the Phillies, my buddy Jay Shipp thought they're going to

1281
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 1: be a tough out this year. Even earlier in the

1282
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 1: year they were scuffling. But yes, finally the stars are

1283
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: aligning in Phillies. Bull What do you want to know, right, Phillies,

1284
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 1: they're no match. You know, I would just say this.

1285
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: They kind of got this fighting spirit there. They're always

1286
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 1: grunning and throwing their arms around. Bryce Harper, He's got

1287
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:18,799
Speaker 1: probably the best swag in baseball. And I would say

1288
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: when they get on the field with the Braves, this

1289
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: might be a real series to watch, especially if Zach

1290
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 1: Wheeler and Aaron Nola are on point. Now it doesn't

1291
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 1: feel like anybody can beat Atlanta, but you know how

1292
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 1: baseball works, right the Phillies again they swept too, and

1293
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: they move on and you know they're really are. There

1294
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: are good vibes in Philly after winning the National League

1295
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 1: Pennant last year. As the number succeed the Phillies looked

1296
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:49,719
Speaker 1: even better this year. They got plenty of starting pitching.

1297
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: They got excellent starting pitching against the Marlins in both games,

1298
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: and what I think I noticed most is they came

1299
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: through in clutch moments. Zach Wheeler only allowed one run,

1300
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: struck out eight in Game one. Aaron Nola only allowed

1301
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: three hits and no runs and seven innings in Game two.

1302
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: But now it doesn't get any easier. The Phillies are

1303
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,559
Speaker 1: gonna face the best team in baseball, the Atlanta Braves.

1304
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 1: They won one hundred and four games. He had three

1305
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:16,559
Speaker 1: hundred and seven home runs, and they got Ronald Locuna,

1306
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:18,839
Speaker 1: who had forty home runs and still seventy three bases.

1307
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta may have the best record in the league, but

1308
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: Phillies feel like they're they've got something to say about this.

1309
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna really very much want to keep that party going. Yeah,

1310
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 1: it's October, It's October. Baseball coming up. We start to

Speaker 1: All Right, I teased it. The number one seed Atlanta

1329
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 1: Braves versus the number one four seed Philadelphia Phillies. Well

1330
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: they get it rolling here three o'clock Pacific, six o'clock

1331
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: Eastern on Saturday, Game one, and this might be a

1332
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 1: very really interesting series. It just doesn't. Well, look, Atlanta's

1333
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 1: been the best team in baseball all season. You win

1334
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and four games, you hit a record time

1335
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: three hundred and seven home runs, You post the highest

1336
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 1: slugging percentage by a team in history. There's slugging percentages

1337
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: five O one. You got MVP front runner Ronald Leacuna

1338
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 1: Junior had a statistical season for the Ages. But he's

1339
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,599
Speaker 1: not the only one. Remember they let Freddy Freeman go.

1340
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: Who did he get? Who did they get to replace him?

1341
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 1: Matt Olsen? What does he do? He leaves the major

1342
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 1: leagues with fifty four home runs and one hundred and

1343
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 1: thirty nine RBIs I'm not done. Marcel or Zuna forty

1344
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 1: home runs, one hundred RBIs Ozzie Albi's thirty three home

1345
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: runs one hundred and nine. So you got three guys

1346
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 1: with north of forty home runs, one north of fifty,

1347
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: and four north of thirty. Do the Braves have a

1348
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: weak spot? Well, if you want us put hairs, it

1349
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:55,520
Speaker 1: might be their starting pitching. Pitching is everything in the playoffs,

1350
01:13:56,120 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: strike zones get tighter and everything isfied. Spencer Strider, well,

1351
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: he does lead the major leagues with two hundred and

1352
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 1: eighty one strikehouse, but he would you know, you susceptible

1353
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: to giving up big innings here and there. By the way,

1354
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: their number two starter, Max Freed, he's been dealing with

1355
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 1: a blister issue. He hasn't actually pitched since September twenty first,

1356
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm assuming he's okay, but you don't know. Let's also

1357
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:30,679
Speaker 1: not forget the Phillies upset the division champion Braves last

1358
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 1: year's Division Series. Will it be deja vu all over again? Yogi?

1359
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: What that did for the Braves is give them a

1360
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,639
Speaker 1: ton of confidence, or check that for the Phillies. That

1361
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 1: actually provided the fuel to you know, propel the Phillies

1362
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 1: and what I would consider to be a very improbable

1363
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 1: run to the World Series last year, and they looked

1364
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 1: like they were going to beat the Astros, but they didn't.

1365
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: So here's the deal. If the formula wants to, if

1366
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 1: they want to, you know, he the formula, if if

1367
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: the Phillies want to make it deja vu all over again, yogi,

1368
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: if they want to repeat history, it's the same thing.

1369
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 1: They're gonna need strong starting pitching. They're gonna need timely hitting.

1370
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 1: Sounds like Captain obvious right now. Again. I talked about

1371
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:18,799
Speaker 1: this a minute ago. A couple of ritis, Zach Wheeler,

1372
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola. They allowed to combine one run in thirteen

1373
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 1: and the third innings versus the Marlins. But that was

1374
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:33,639
Speaker 1: the Marlins. Meanwhile, or second baseman Well Bryson stopped. He

1375
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 1: was outstanding defensive lead He had a crutch, you know

1376
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: that clutch Grand Slam. Now. The big difference between this

1377
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: year's Phillies in last year's well, they added Trey Turner. Now,

1378
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 1: Trey Turner struggled mightily through probably July April, May, June July,

1379
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 1: and the fans continue to cheer him. He only had

1380
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: like ten home runs in the first one hundred and

1381
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: seven games. But things have a way of evening out

1382
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: in baseball, Trey Turner caught fire sixteen home runs in

1383
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 1: the final forty eight games after the Philly fans reaffirmed

1384
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 1: them some port hit. If you saw the game was

1385
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 1: it was showing over and over the highlights because for

1386
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:19,720
Speaker 1: a reason. I don't know what the reason was, but

1387
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 1: I thought it was great. Fans in Philly are great.

1388
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:27,600
Speaker 1: They're smart, they're discerning. They knew that Trey Turner was

1389
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 1: capable of more. They gave him this unexpecting standing ovation

1390
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: on August fourth. It was crazy, and I think he

1391
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 1: struck on a couple of times. He end up hitting

1392
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: a home run. I think so after I want to

1393
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:44,360
Speaker 1: say after like August fifteenth or he ended up hitting

1394
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: sixteen home runs and his OPS was over. It was

1395
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:52,639
Speaker 1: over thousands. So you know, the Phillies fans and their patients, well,

1396
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 1: it was rewarded, and Trey Turner is quite a player.

1397
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,640
Speaker 1: When you have a shortstop that can provide that kind

1398
01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:00,679
Speaker 1: of offense and base dealing, you've got your else something.

1399
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 1: I get a kick out of. Contrast to compare when

1400
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: you look at the two teams leadoff hitter in baseball.

1401
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 1: To me, he's always been very important I think Ricky

1402
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:12,679
Speaker 1: Anderson greatest leadoff hitter of all time because it's so dangerous.

1403
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:15,600
Speaker 1: He gave the ball apart steal a base. Compare the

1404
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: two leadoff hitters. All right, Ronald Coone, you hit three

1405
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 1: thirty seven for the Braves. He hit forty home runs,

1406
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:26,920
Speaker 1: scored one hundred runs, one hundred RBIs, and oh, by

1407
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 1: the way, he stole seventy three bases and hit three

1408
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 1: thirty seven. Kyle Schwarber, who was a key cog in

1409
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 1: the Cubs attack back in twenty sixteen, forty five home runs,

1410
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:43,679
Speaker 1: over one hundred RBIs, over hundred runs scored, He batted

1411
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 1: one nineties. He batted one ninety seven. Never been done

1412
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:53,160
Speaker 1: in the history of Major League Baseball until now. I

1413
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: don't know if this series will go five, but if

1414
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: it does, it'll end up in Atlanta. I feel like

1415
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 1: Philly caught lightning in a bottle last year. I just

1416
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: can't go against Atlanta. Come it up, we'll get the

1417
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,840
Speaker 1: other three series. Keep it locked. You listening to the

1425
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: So I talked about the Braves Philly series. I just

1426
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 1: think the Braves have too much. But we'll see. We

1427
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: just saw sweeps in all four wildcard series. Now you

1428
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 1: move on to the divisional round where the top two

1429
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:48,560
Speaker 1: season the American League National leagues, well, they should be

1430
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 1: well rested ready to host their postseason openers. I would

1431
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 1: just say this. The top seeds also have the advantage

1432
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 1: of being able to set up their pitching rotations just

1433
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 1: the way they want them after being off basically an

1434
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: entire week. However, there's always the question, right too much

1435
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:11,679
Speaker 1: rest before a playoff series, which will be answered as

1436
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,080
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Orioles take on what I think is going

1437
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: to be a very tesky Texas Rangers team who has

1438
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 1: advanced under Bruce Bochie. I told you I gave their

1439
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,679
Speaker 1: front office a ton of credit for what they did

1440
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 1: and the chances they took. They really went for it

1441
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,719
Speaker 1: and it paid off, even though Jacob de Grom didn't

1442
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: work out and you get the drift. Okay, well here

1443
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: we are, we are about nine hours away. It'll open

1444
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 1: up in Baltimore. I think the Orios are just a

1445
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 1: phenomenal story this year. Just two years ago they lost

1446
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten games. Baltimore turns around on to

1447
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 1: one hundred and four this year, best record in the season,

1448
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 1: doing large part to a group of young stars. That's

1449
01:19:54,600 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 1: their core. Gunnar Henderson overwhelming favorite for Ricky the an infielder, shortstop,

1450
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 1: third baseman. Now, the biggest question for the Oils is

1451
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:11,520
Speaker 1: gonna be they've got a very young pitching staff. Grayson Rodriguez,

1452
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: He's only like twenty three guys. These are not household names,

1453
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Bradish, Dean Kramer. Do they have enough gas in

1454
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 1: the tank to pitch in the postseason, which is different Again,

1455
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 1: strike zones, shrink umpires are not gonna let you finesse.

1456
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to challenge hitters and look in this

1457
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 1: day and age of analytics in Milwaukee stats, these guys

1458
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 1: have all gone way over their career eyes and innings.

1459
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: Pitch for a season and by the way. They lost

1460
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: to the bullpen lost their closer, Felix Batista to a

1461
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: elbow injury. So if you get into Baltimore's pen, they're

1462
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:50,639
Speaker 1: gonna be challenged. Baltimore's pen is gonna be challenged. Now,

1463
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: on the flip side of the coin, the Rangers were

1464
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:57,360
Speaker 1: cruising along in fine feddle, but they cost themselves a

1465
01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:00,680
Speaker 1: division title and a first round by because they got

1466
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,640
Speaker 1: a late season slide. But they managed to write the

1467
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: ship and they had a pair of victories in Tampa

1468
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:10,840
Speaker 1: Bay at Tampa Bay and they only allowed one run.

1469
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:17,840
Speaker 1: So you've got though I just sung the praises of

1470
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:21,639
Speaker 1: Atlanta's offense, Well, don't go to sleep on Baltimore. They've

1471
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 1: got the most potent offense. They averaged over five runs

1472
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,599
Speaker 1: a game, almost five and a half runs a game

1473
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 1: this year. It's unheard of. They're led by the right fielder.

1474
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a dull a dollars Garcia, thirty nine

1475
01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: home runs, one hundred and seven Harvey Eyes, and you've

1476
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 1: got a great double play combination that matters a lot.

1477
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 1: Corey Seger I checked that. I'm talking about Texas, not Baltimore.

1478
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 1: Texas has the most potent brain cramp there, I apologize.

1479
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 1: You got Corey Seeger, who can hit left hander. You

1480
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:56,919
Speaker 1: know what he can do. Marcus Simon, great double play combination,

1481
01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 1: Texas averaging five and a half runs a game. And

1482
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 1: by the way, Texas a couple of couple of good

1483
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 1: hitting catchers. I saw them play. They're very opportunistic all

1484
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:12,600
Speaker 1: right now, much the same as it was for Baltimore.

1485
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: Pitching is going to be a question mark for the Rangers.

1486
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,280
Speaker 1: They you know, you don't have Jacob de Gram, you

1487
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:21,559
Speaker 1: don't have Max Ers, you don't have John Gray. Their

1488
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: best remaining starters Jordan Montgomery and Anthony have Oldie. Well,

1489
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 1: they've done it so far. They're going to need him

1490
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: to get passed. Baltimore just that they got pasted the Rays.

1491
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 1: This is the best of five, not the best of three.

1492
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, and I mentioned this back

1493
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 1: during the trade deadline when I was out with Aaron

1494
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 1: and Jason, I was surprised that Texas traded for a

1495
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 1: couple of starters because their ERA is four point eight

1496
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: in the bullpen, seventh worst in the majors. Baltimore's is

1497
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: the fifth best. So if these games get elongated, get

1498
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 1: into the bullpen. Baltimore clearly has the edge in the bullpen.

1499
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,960
Speaker 1: How about those Houston Astros, They just they're like the

1500
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 1: energizer bunny. They're they're seated second. They take on the

1501
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 1: third seeded Minnesota Twins. Game one opens up at Houston

1502
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 1: one forty five Pacific on Saturday for forty five Eastern.

1503
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 1: And yes, the Astros, in case you forgot, they are

1504
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 1: the defending world champions. And I talked about the Rangers

1505
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: and having a late first round, a late round, Uh,

1506
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: they fell off the map. Well, the Astros had a

1507
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 1: great late surge to take over the Rangers. And Dusty Baker, uh,

1508
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 1: you know got he got his first ever you know,

1509
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:39,679
Speaker 1: World Series last year. And he's Nagadi's Justin Verlander back

1510
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 1: back in a in an Astros uniform. He's the top

1511
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 1: guy in the rotation. That was the mid season trade

1512
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 1: that didn't work out, that did work out, And you

1513
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta ask yourself, does Houston just simply have

1514
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:55,559
Speaker 1: too much playoff experience? And oh, by the way, they're healthy.

1515
01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 1: And then they added Jose Abreu and they got a

1516
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: potential rookie. Well, he's not gonna be the rookie of

1517
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 1: the year, but he's a DH and catcher janner Diez.

1518
01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 1: You could make an argument that the Houston Astros, even

1519
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 1: though they were World champions last year, possibly even better

1520
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:19,840
Speaker 1: than last year. So well, if the Astros can get

1521
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 1: past the Twins, and frankly I expect them to, well,

1522
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 1: the Astros will find themselves in a familiar spot, playing

1523
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: in the ALCS for the seventh consecutive season. Get up

1524
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 1: to the Twins though, Okay, they finally end their postseason

1525
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 1: losing skid. They'd actually lost eighteen games in a row

1526
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:43,720
Speaker 1: and don't look now, they're actually on a two game

1527
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:48,120
Speaker 1: winning streak after they beat Toronto and a familiar name

1528
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 1: who was part of those great Astro teams and years behind. Well,

1529
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 1: they now have Carlos Correa, who remember, won the World

1530
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 1: Series ring with the Astros in twenty seventeen, left as

1531
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 1: a free agent only nineteen. The Twins had the worst

1532
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 1: record of any AL playoff team this season, but Edward Julian,

1533
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 1: Matt Walner, Royce Lewis, the Twins got some players too.

1534
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 1: Here's an interesting stat that I found very odd and

1535
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,839
Speaker 1: note this because the first two games are in Houston.

1536
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 1: Houston's only thirty nine and forty two at home. This season,

1537
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 1: they're under five hundred at home. We'll see if that

1538
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 1: plays out. Already talked about Atlanta in Philadelphia, which leads

1539
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 1: us to the series that I know our guys that

1540
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 1: will get to Kevin and and Shay here in a bit.

1541
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:39,720
Speaker 1: Their hometown Dodgers seated number two. They take on the

1542
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 1: pesky Diamondbacks. Dodgers have had their number okay. And when

1543
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 1: you got players like Mookie Betts, who when the brights

1544
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 1: get when the lights get bright, he elevates his game.

1545
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 1: He's He's been a fixture in the postseason, Mookie Betts playing,

1546
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 1: and all but one of the past seven seasons, Mookie

1547
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 1: Betts has won a pair of World Series rings. You

1548
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:04,679
Speaker 1: love having a guy like that in your lineup. It'll

1549
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 1: be a night game six twenty Pacific, nine to twenty Eastern.

1550
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:10,680
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a pitcher's duel in the

1551
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:13,600
Speaker 1: first game. But the Dodgers, by Hooker Cook, they just

1552
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:17,959
Speaker 1: keep chugging along, all right. They've won their tenth NLS

1553
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 1: Division title in eleven years, but only one World Series

1554
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:23,599
Speaker 1: and that was in the COVID shortened season of sixty

1555
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 1: games back in twenty twenty. Not gonna hold against them,

1556
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:28,800
Speaker 1: not gonna give him an asterisk. They had the same

1557
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:32,719
Speaker 1: opportunity as everybody else. But look, there's a great evening

1558
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 1: out process over one hundred and sixty two games. But

1559
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 1: this is a veteran team. Wookie Bets, Freddie Freeman, Clayton Kershaw,

1560
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:45,120
Speaker 1: they do. The Dodgers do have enough talent to win

1561
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:47,640
Speaker 1: the damn thing. Matter of fact, would you love to

1562
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:50,160
Speaker 1: see it be like a throwback world series like the

1563
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 1: Dodgers in Baltimore. And here's why you really cannot go

1564
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 1: to sleep on the Dodgers. They rank second to the

1565
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:02,719
Speaker 1: Braves and scoring home runs percentage and slugging by the way,

1566
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 1: they're very much like the Braves as well, and they

1567
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 1: actually have a couple of issues and they're starting rotation. Now.

1568
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 1: I give it up to Clayton s Kirshaw. What a

1569
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 1: career thirteen to five this past year, two point four

1570
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:17,840
Speaker 1: to sixty ARRA, but only threw one hundred and thirty

1571
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 1: innings and he's got a shoulder issue he's been battling

1572
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 1: in the second half. So you're gonna again, this is

1573
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 1: a series. If it gets into the bullpen, you know,

1574
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts. He doesn't have household names, Bobby Miller, Ryan Peapot.

1575
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 1: He's got to turn things over. You know, he's got

1576
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:38,560
Speaker 1: a deep bullpen, but I don't think he wanted to

1577
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 1: turn into a bullpen game. Look the Diamondbacks, I think,

1578
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:48,439
Speaker 1: obviously are this entire postseason the most likely you know entrance.

1579
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 1: They improved by winning twenty more games this year than

1580
01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: they won a year ago. They're a dangerous team. They

1581
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 1: were down both games in Milwaukee. They battle back both games.

1582
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 1: They look like they are ready for this moment. Not

1583
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 1: predicting what's gonna happen. I gotta see a couple of

1584
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 1: games the d Backs. Look again, you're gonna you're gonna

1585
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 1: see Moore, Corbin Carroll, first rookie in baseball history. A

1586
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 1: lot of so prosis this year. Imagine this, He's a rookie,

1587
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:22,680
Speaker 1: hit twenty five ingers and stole fifty bases. But what

1588
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm the reason I think Arizona will have a puncher's chance,

1589
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:30,120
Speaker 1: if not win, it is because they play outstanding defense.

1590
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 1: They got a Gold Glove in first base Christian Walker.

1591
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:37,679
Speaker 1: But again, does their pitching matchup with the Dodgers, No,

1592
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: not at all Zach Gallen is their ace Merril Kelly,

1593
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 1: who I think is starting Game one. Remember, you can't

1594
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:48,640
Speaker 1: line up your pitching the way you can if you've

1595
01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 1: been waiting around a week like the Dodgers. Here's the problem.

1596
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 1: You got a starting staff that's got a cumulative ERA

1597
01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 1: at four point five and they rank twentieth in the majors.

1598
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:00,680
Speaker 1: That's the worst of any player team. And you're going

1599
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:04,160
Speaker 1: up against the Dodger offense. It doesn't seem to bode well,

1600
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:09,720
Speaker 1: all right. Also, their starting catcher Gabriel Moreno, he had

1601
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:12,479
Speaker 1: to leave Wednesday's game. He got hitting the helmet on

1602
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 1: a swing that happens every time every once in a while.

1603
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,960
Speaker 1: Milwaukee's Bryce Terrang He finished his swing and clunked him

1604
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:21,760
Speaker 1: in the head. I think he got hit in the head.

1605
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 1: He got hitting a helmet, and I I've not heard

1606
01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play it, but you hope he's a

1607
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 1: hundred percent. We see a good series. By the way,

1608
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:36,559
Speaker 1: another fun fact, the Diamondbacks are only the third team

1609
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:39,639
Speaker 1: in Major League history to actually win a playoff game

1610
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:44,240
Speaker 1: after they were outscored by their opponents during the regular season.

1611
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:48,599
Speaker 1: Their run differential during the regular season was minus fifteen.

1612
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 1: I will not be sharing any Minnesota Vikings jokes. It's

1613
01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:57,480
Speaker 1: hard for very hard for me to believe the Diamondbacks

1614
01:29:57,520 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 1: get by the Dodgers. That would be a massive That

1615
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:02,559
Speaker 1: would be a big upset. How big of an upset

1616
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 1: would it be if Philly upsets the Braves, Well, it

1617
01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:08,000
Speaker 1: would be, but they got them last year, all right?

1618
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:11,040
Speaker 1: How big of an upset would it be for the

1619
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:14,160
Speaker 1: Twins to get past the Astros? A little bit? But

1620
01:30:14,240 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 1: remember the Twins are seeded third, They've just won a

1621
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:19,640
Speaker 1: nice series, They're confident. The Astros have a lot of

1622
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:23,479
Speaker 1: playoff experience and veterans. How big of an upset would

1623
01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 1: it be for the Texas Rangers to get past the

1624
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: Baltimore Roils. You get a feel there's gonna be one

1625
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:33,200
Speaker 1: upset of these four. Let's bring in the crew and

1626
01:30:33,240 --> 01:30:35,840
Speaker 1: see what their thoughts are. Who might be the team

1627
01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:39,960
Speaker 1: that upsets the Apple cart? Who's the team they're rooting for,

1628
01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 1: and who's the team that if they could just pick

1629
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:47,880
Speaker 1: one of these eight teams is their choice to get

1630
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 1: to the World Series. We'll check on all that coming up.

1631
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm Bernie Frattle or Company live from Las Vegas. Fox

Speaker 1: you're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show Fox Sports Radio.

1634
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:05,040
Speaker 1: We're back on the Bernie Fattle Show, Fox Sports Radio

1635
01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:08,840
Speaker 1: Comedy live from the Tarrek dot Com studios here in

1636
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:14,400
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Nevada, just hours away from Of course, we

1637
01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:17,720
Speaker 1: know it's a big college football Saturday and another big

1638
01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 1: NFL weekend. But let's not forget. We are in October

1639
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:26,479
Speaker 1: and that means baseball playoffs, and that means we are

1640
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 1: now two series away from the World Series as we

1641
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:32,760
Speaker 1: advance to the National and American League Division Series at

1642
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 1: the fourth rate Wildcard sweep. So let's bring in the

1643
01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: crew and I'm gonna break up the party. First to

1644
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 1: the first question, is gonna be of these four series,

1645
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:43,240
Speaker 1: which is the most likely upset? Guys, I'm gonna go

1646
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:46,479
Speaker 1: with Baltimore getting upset by the Texas Rangers. Kevin, your

1647
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:48,960
Speaker 1: thoughts of the four we know there's gonna be an upset,

1648
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:49,960
Speaker 1: which is most likely?

1649
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:52,880
Speaker 6: Who most likely to happen? Yeah, you know what, I'd

1650
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:56,040
Speaker 6: probably agree with the Rangers in Baltimore, to be honest

1651
01:31:56,080 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 6: with you.

1652
01:31:56,760 --> 01:31:57,560
Speaker 5: Thought.

1653
01:31:57,600 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 6: The close second for me would be the Twins in Houston,

1654
01:31:59,880 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 6: and why Honestly, the only reason why I would think

1655
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:05,600
Speaker 6: Houston would win is because they always do. I know

1656
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:07,639
Speaker 6: that's not the most time I think it's true, though.

1657
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:10,240
Speaker 1: But it's true, Kevin. No, it is scientific. Ten straight

1658
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:14,439
Speaker 1: American League championship series in the most experience of any

1659
01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:15,639
Speaker 1: any rosters. So go ahead.

1660
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:17,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, but if you just look at the pure numbers

1661
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:19,960
Speaker 6: and how the teams have played this season, especially down

1662
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:22,160
Speaker 6: the stretch, I don't think most numbers would point to

1663
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:25,840
Speaker 6: Houston being the obvious winner of that series. But you know,

1664
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:27,800
Speaker 6: every time I seem to go against the Astros, they

1665
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:29,720
Speaker 6: find a way to get to win series. They have

1666
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 6: obviously a bunch of experience on that roster, even though

1667
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,720
Speaker 6: they didn't play up to their own personal standards this

1668
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:38,600
Speaker 6: individual season. And the Twins are just one of the

1669
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:40,120
Speaker 6: best teams, if not the best team in the league.

1670
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 6: I think they have the most home runs and in

1671
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 6: the majors this year.

1672
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 1: They're just Atlanta.

1673
01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:46,120
Speaker 6: I think Atlanta did excuse me, Yeah, as far as

1674
01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:48,959
Speaker 6: for the American League, I believe the Twins did. Oh sure, sure,

1675
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:53,040
Speaker 6: but I probably misspoke there. But they're also very prone

1676
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:55,679
Speaker 6: to swinging and missing, and when you have Verlander and Valdez,

1677
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,240
Speaker 6: those are That's what they do best is get strikeouts.

1678
01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:01,040
Speaker 6: So I think that's a close second. But I would

1679
01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:03,360
Speaker 6: agree that the Rangers feeding Baltimore would be top of

1680
01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:05,680
Speaker 6: my list in terms of, well, which team would have

1681
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:06,880
Speaker 6: the best chance of an upset.

1682
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:09,120
Speaker 1: I just feel like your youth and then winning one

1683
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:12,600
Speaker 1: hundred games and everything changes so drastically in the postseason,

1684
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:16,519
Speaker 1: and when you juxtapose that against Texas and Bruce Bocci.

1685
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:19,960
Speaker 1: All right, uh shay, of the four, who do you

1686
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:22,759
Speaker 1: think is the most likely team to emerge via upset

1687
01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:24,799
Speaker 1: via upset?

1688
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:26,960
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm such a big Dodger fan, but I'm

1689
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:28,960
Speaker 5: so scared the Diamondbacks are just going to come out

1690
01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:32,559
Speaker 5: of no. It's terrifying. I mean, I wasn't expecting us

1691
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:35,439
Speaker 5: to even get a hundred wins this year, So the

1692
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:38,599
Speaker 5: fact that we're even getting one hundred wins, I'm happy,

1693
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:41,600
Speaker 5: Like I'm happy with where we're at. But again, I

1694
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:44,080
Speaker 5: don't know what it is, but something is scaring. I mean,

1695
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:46,599
Speaker 5: we've beat them all year too, It's been an easy series.

1696
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:49,760
Speaker 5: We have what sixteen wins on them, I mean, it

1697
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:51,640
Speaker 5: was it was an easy series. It's just I don't know.

1698
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 5: Something in the back of my head is saying we

1699
01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:55,040
Speaker 5: might not get past it, and it might because of

1700
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 5: last year against the Padre something similar happened, But I

1701
01:33:58,280 --> 01:33:58,640
Speaker 5: don't know.

1702
01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:01,599
Speaker 1: It's just oh yeah, maybe a little gun shot. Yeah,

1703
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:04,240
Speaker 1: well seriously, well sure, well that well, that Potter team

1704
01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:06,559
Speaker 1: is pretty good last year, and then I knew they

1705
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:09,519
Speaker 1: would not follow it up. But here's the deal. Uh,

1706
01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:12,759
Speaker 1: I think you might worry if Arizona gets a split

1707
01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 1: before they leave town. I just don't. I don't know

1708
01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:18,840
Speaker 1: that I see that. But you know you're a Dodger fan.

1709
01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:21,000
Speaker 1: You'd like to see him finally close the deal, right,

1710
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:25,120
Speaker 1: So I get I get that, I want so do you.

1711
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:27,160
Speaker 1: But do you think Arizona, if you're going to answer

1712
01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:29,640
Speaker 1: the question in Arizona, is the most likely upset.

1713
01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:32,799
Speaker 5: The most likely No, No, it's probably the Orioles, that's definitely.

1714
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1715
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:35,519
Speaker 5: I think I think I think it's definitely Oriols.

1716
01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:37,800
Speaker 1: Either, either team that comes out of that, we got

1717
01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:41,800
Speaker 1: a real story because yeah, because if Texas advances, you

1718
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:44,080
Speaker 1: know what the storyline there is. And if Baltimore advances,

1719
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 1: all right, let's uh, let's put on our fan boy

1720
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 1: hats Kevin, which team are you rooting for in either league? Say?

1721
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:51,920
Speaker 1: I want to have him a magic one. I want

1722
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 1: to put this team in the World Series.

1723
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:56,040
Speaker 6: You know, I love seeing underdog story, so I think

1724
01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 6: it'd be pretty cool for a grown troten franchise like

1725
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 6: the Twins that actually make a the young year won

1726
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:04,439
Speaker 6: their first postseason series and you know, since the you know,

1727
01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:08,040
Speaker 6: since the Reagan administration earlier this week, so I think

1728
01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:09,719
Speaker 6: it'd be a pretty cool story to see a team

1729
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:11,840
Speaker 6: also full of young guys without a whole lot of

1730
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:15,000
Speaker 6: experience to be able to get themselves a pretty deep run.

1731
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 6: So that's kind of the underdog the team that I'm

1732
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:18,559
Speaker 6: kind of pulling forward to see if they can make

1733
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 6: a deep run here.

1734
01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 1: That would be kind of cool to see as well.

1735
01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 1: I believe it's what been thirty three, thirty two years

1736
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:29,840
Speaker 1: into famous ninety one duel that they had with the

1737
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:33,240
Speaker 1: Blue Jays and then of course in eighty seven. Fair enough,

1738
01:35:33,240 --> 01:35:34,360
Speaker 1: how about you, Shay.

1739
01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:37,400
Speaker 5: I mean, as a Dodger fan, obviously I want the

1740
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:39,840
Speaker 5: Dodgers to win, but sure, I mean, if I'm going

1741
01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:42,760
Speaker 5: to put all my fans aside, I think I'm gonna

1742
01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:44,880
Speaker 5: have to go with the Orioles. I just as a team.

1743
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:47,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I've always liked Cedric Bollins as a player,

1744
01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 5: but just as a team, the Orioles are just they're

1745
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 5: so likable. I don't know what it is, but there's

1746
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:52,559
Speaker 5: something about them that just makes me want to root

1747
01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:52,800
Speaker 5: for them.

1748
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:56,080
Speaker 1: Well, they're young, they came out of nowhere, they're athletic,

1749
01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:59,559
Speaker 1: they played the game with joy. That would be a

1750
01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 1: hell of a story.

1751
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 5: It would be amazing. I mean, also, the Rangers when

1752
01:36:03,360 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 5: they started off the season, I think it was like

1753
01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:07,760
Speaker 5: fourteen wins or something like that. I mean that'd be

1754
01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:09,639
Speaker 5: cool too, just like starting off with such a bang

1755
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 5: and then ending it off with such a bank too.

1756
01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:12,720
Speaker 5: I mean, it'd be cool for Ranger fans just to

1757
01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:13,720
Speaker 5: get a championship too.

1758
01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:18,639
Speaker 1: But yeah, and that's where I weigh in. I would

1759
01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:22,599
Speaker 1: like to see the Rangers. Why they've never won. The

1760
01:36:22,640 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 1: franchise has never won. I believe the franchise was born

1761
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:29,840
Speaker 1: what in nineteen seventy two, the famous David Clyde story.

1762
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:34,920
Speaker 1: In nineteen seventy three, Bruce Bochi comes over, They signed players,

1763
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:37,160
Speaker 1: they have bad luck with injuries, and they find themselves

1764
01:36:37,200 --> 01:36:38,720
Speaker 1: well They're right where they need to be, right. They

1765
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:41,120
Speaker 1: just didn't need to win this series. If you put

1766
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:43,320
Speaker 1: the Rangers in the World Series, you guys, remember what happened.

1767
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 1: I want to say it was twenty fifteen. They were

1768
01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:48,320
Speaker 1: down to one out, remember that, Kevin.

1769
01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:50,600
Speaker 6: And I believe it was Nelson Cruz who had a

1770
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:53,639
Speaker 6: pretty easy it wasn't a lazy fly ball into the outfield,

1771
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:57,160
Speaker 6: but pretty catchable ball. He misread it and was unable

1772
01:36:57,200 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 6: to make a play, and they ended up losing that

1773
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:01,720
Speaker 6: series down to the final out, one out away from

1774
01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:02,679
Speaker 6: winning the World Series.

1775
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:04,719
Speaker 1: And I can't think of the name of the manager.

1776
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:07,599
Speaker 1: He was. He had a great personal story. It had

1777
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 1: leukemia in high school, and obviously he ends up managing

1778
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 1: in the Major League. So this is a franchise that's

1779
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:16,120
Speaker 1: really been committed to winning and doing a lot of

1780
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:18,120
Speaker 1: the right things over the years. I'd like to see

1781
01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 1: their investment rewarded. I really would. And again, can you

1782
01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:24,599
Speaker 1: imagine one out away from winning at all? You probably

1783
01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:26,439
Speaker 1: got one foot in the Dugoff steps ready to go

1784
01:37:26,439 --> 01:37:29,040
Speaker 1: on the field. You you got the champagne on ice,

1785
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:33,760
Speaker 1: and it gets it gets yanked away. So okay, so

1786
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:36,320
Speaker 1: we've got the first uh uh. You know, we've been

1787
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:38,360
Speaker 1: who we think the Enderdog will be and who we

1788
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:42,639
Speaker 1: would would like to see when let's go the other way,

1789
01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:45,760
Speaker 1: which is the last team you want to see in

1790
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:48,799
Speaker 1: the World Series? Kevin will start with you, buddy.

1791
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:50,080
Speaker 5: Oh, this is an easy one for me.

1792
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:52,200
Speaker 6: The Houston Astros. I know it's only a couple of

1793
01:37:52,640 --> 01:37:55,280
Speaker 6: a couple of guys left from that twenty seventeen team

1794
01:37:55,360 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 6: that basically stole the championship away from the Dodgers. But

1795
01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:00,200
Speaker 6: if Houston never wins again, I think I'll be fine

1796
01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:01,919
Speaker 6: with that. So that that's an easy one.

1797
01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:05,639
Speaker 1: Very good, very good. Uh that was right there, man.

1798
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:07,400
Speaker 1: You you molly wopped that one. So all right, how

1799
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:10,800
Speaker 1: about you? Uh, Shay and I might bring down the

1800
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:13,080
Speaker 1: house with the one I'm gonna share here in a minute.

1801
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:15,080
Speaker 1: But which is the one team? They're like, Okay, I

1802
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:16,280
Speaker 1: don't want to see them in the World Show.

1803
01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 5: I don't want to be a carbon copy of Kevin

1804
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:21,040
Speaker 5: over here. Okay, I'm gonna have to go with the Astros.

1805
01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:23,439
Speaker 5: Absolutely hate them. If I can go without seeing a

1806
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:25,240
Speaker 5: trash can for the rest of my life, I will.

1807
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 1: They're never gonna live that downe are they they will

1808
01:38:30,040 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 1: and far being for me to defend them, which I

1809
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:36,360
Speaker 1: will not do, but I will maintain a modicum of objectivity.

1810
01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:39,720
Speaker 1: That seventh game was played at Dodger Stadium, so it

1811
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:42,519
Speaker 1: would have been interesting. Uh but look, we get it,

1812
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:44,679
Speaker 1: all right. That was a brutal I know a Jhnchen

1813
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:47,599
Speaker 1: Detroit had to, you know, answer questions over and over

1814
01:38:47,640 --> 01:38:50,599
Speaker 1: again about that before he got the job. And that's

1815
01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:54,120
Speaker 1: just something that they'll they'll never live down for me, guys,

1816
01:38:55,680 --> 01:38:57,639
Speaker 1: I hope Ethan's not listening. I don't want to see

1817
01:38:57,640 --> 01:38:59,960
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series. I just don't, man.

1818
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:04,360
Speaker 1: They just bug me too much, swag, too much flex,

1819
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:08,000
Speaker 1: too much testosterone. And you know what, they're good team,

1820
01:39:08,120 --> 01:39:10,800
Speaker 1: all right. And I got to know Bryce Harper a

1821
01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:12,679
Speaker 1: little bit here in Las Vega's a really good dude,

1822
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 1: you know. I know he looks like he's got the

1823
01:39:14,479 --> 01:39:18,680
Speaker 1: red ass all the time. But uh, you know, I

1824
01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:20,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, you guys, are an your thoughts on

1825
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:22,120
Speaker 1: the Phillies, I just do I don't want to see him.

1826
01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 5: That Grand Slam was magical, though, But did you see

1827
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:26,679
Speaker 5: that video with the music and everything? They all start

1828
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 5: singing that was. I mean, there's no one better than

1829
01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:32,240
Speaker 5: a Philly stadium, Like it doesn't matter. Oh yeah, the

1830
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 5: energy they give. I mean that's the only reason I'm

1831
01:39:34,280 --> 01:39:37,160
Speaker 5: going to put Philly in the game against the Braves. Like,

1832
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:41,000
Speaker 5: just the home base advantage is probably insane. Like I

1833
01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:42,960
Speaker 5: just the videos I see. It might because I have

1834
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:47,599
Speaker 5: cousin my ear too, Yeah, for sure, I definitely, it's

1835
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:49,679
Speaker 5: just I don't know, there's something about it. I also

1836
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 5: I don't want the Phillies to win either, just because

1837
01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 5: I'm going to be in Atlanta during the time where

1838
01:39:54,640 --> 01:39:56,679
Speaker 5: they could possibly be playing the Dodgers, and I would

1839
01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:57,360
Speaker 5: love to see that.

1840
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:00,160
Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't be too pissed if it so

1841
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:03,759
Speaker 1: like a Dodgers Twins series or a Dodgers Oriole series,

1842
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:07,080
Speaker 1: a throwback to the you know, back in the day

1843
01:40:07,240 --> 01:40:09,920
Speaker 1: type series. I've had enough of Houston too. I mean,

1844
01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:12,200
Speaker 1: they win, man, but I've had kind of enough of

1845
01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:16,120
Speaker 1: them to I've had enough of the Phillies. And look,

1846
01:40:16,439 --> 01:40:18,519
Speaker 1: I know the networks wouldn't like it, but if Arizona

1847
01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 1: got to the World Series, look what they did back

1848
01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 1: on one when they beat the Yankee So I think,

1849
01:40:22,760 --> 01:40:24,759
Speaker 1: you know, we may not end up with a matchup

1850
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:26,960
Speaker 1: we want, but I know we'll end up with a

1851
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 1: competitive matchup because there's a lot of parody in Major

1852
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:31,840
Speaker 1: League base Ball right now. I mean, Baltimore won more

1853
01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:34,759
Speaker 1: games than anybody, but nobody here, I think, feels super

1854
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:36,240
Speaker 1: confident that they're going to be able to win the

1855
01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:38,439
Speaker 1: next two series to get to the World Series. So

1856
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 1: let's let the games we gain. Will of course cover

1857
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:45,680
Speaker 1: each series as it progresses on both my shows. Good

1858
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:50,240
Speaker 1: Stuff Guys coming up Chris Perfet's World of Soccer. Plenty

1859
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:56,720
Speaker 1: of news, plenty of interesting stories, and plenty of hijinks

1860
01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:59,400
Speaker 1: Chris Perfet's World of Soccer coming up. But first, let's

1861
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:02,760
Speaker 1: go back to our Kevin figures with least all right.

1862
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:03,599
Speaker 5: Bernie and Friday Night.

1863
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 6: In college football, Nebraska holding Brett Beilama's Illinois squad to

1864
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:11,960
Speaker 6: just twenty one yards rushing in a twenty to seven victory. Elsewhere,

1865
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:15,280
Speaker 6: Oklahoma State snapped its two game losing streak. They defeated

1866
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 6: Kansas State twenty nine to twenty one, improving to.

1867
01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:19,519
Speaker 5: Three to two on the season.

1868
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:22,680
Speaker 6: In the NFL, Ravens receiver Odell Beckham junior says he

1869
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,559
Speaker 6: plans to play against the Steelers on Sunday after missing

1870
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:28,320
Speaker 6: the previous two games with an ankle injury. Jimmy Garoppolo

1871
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:30,679
Speaker 6: will start under center for the Raiders Monday night against

1872
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:34,400
Speaker 6: Green Bay after he cleared concussion protocols. Eagles offensive lineman

1873
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:36,840
Speaker 6: Fletcher Cox will not play against the Rams as he

1874
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:39,160
Speaker 6: nurses a back injury. Barring a set back to the

1875
01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:41,439
Speaker 6: Rams expect to have receiver Cooper Cup in the lineup

1876
01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:43,639
Speaker 6: for the first time this season in that game. Cup

1877
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:46,200
Speaker 6: missed the first four games with a hamstring injury and

1878
01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:48,720
Speaker 6: a Major League Baseball Rangers pitcher Max Scherzer did throw

1879
01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:51,360
Speaker 6: a simulated game on Friday, but his status for the

1880
01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:53,920
Speaker 6: Alds is still up in the air. Texas will face

1881
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:56,840
Speaker 6: Baltimore in Game one of that series on FS one

1882
01:41:56,880 --> 01:41:58,639
Speaker 6: today at two pm Eastern.

1883
01:41:59,000 --> 01:41:59,880
Speaker 5: Back to Bernie Freddo.

1884
01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 1: All right, thanks so much, Kevin. Of course, you folks

1885
01:42:02,520 --> 01:42:06,439
Speaker 1: know every week at this time we covered all and

1886
01:42:06,560 --> 01:42:08,559
Speaker 1: even though there are no major events going on, there

1887
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:11,840
Speaker 1: are still plenty of news items to digest. That's why

1888
01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:13,920
Speaker 1: we bring you Chris Purfence.

1889
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:26,559
Speaker 8: World of Soccer, The Greatest Goals, The Thrilling finishes, the

1890
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 8: international drama Him him.

1891
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:36,599
Speaker 4: It's all here in this report from the world of soccer.

1892
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:39,400
Speaker 7: Bernie Today, I have three things to know for the

1893
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:42,240
Speaker 7: MLS Cup playoffs going to be coming here at the

1894
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:44,639
Speaker 7: end of October. We're going to be chasing the race

1895
01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:47,240
Speaker 7: as it comes. But first I would do want to

1896
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:50,679
Speaker 7: start over in Europe. We just got done with a

1897
01:42:50,760 --> 01:42:54,839
Speaker 7: whole slate of Champions League action, the first couple games

1898
01:42:55,439 --> 01:42:57,759
Speaker 7: of the group stage. We're played over the past couple

1899
01:42:57,760 --> 01:43:00,320
Speaker 7: of weeks and we have a lot to talk about.

1900
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:05,760
Speaker 7: One might be the very disappointing showing of Manchester United. Now,

1901
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:09,840
Speaker 7: Manchester United has some good pieces. Casamiro has scored three

1902
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:14,120
Speaker 7: goals in two games. So has Rasmus Hoyland. Now we've

1903
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:17,679
Speaker 7: talked about Rasmus Hoyland before he was Manchester United's hope

1904
01:43:17,720 --> 01:43:22,200
Speaker 7: to find a Scandinavian player quite like Earling Holland. More

1905
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:25,720
Speaker 7: on him in a second, But it's three goals for

1906
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:28,880
Speaker 7: Rasmus Hoyland and Champions League is remarkable. He's off to

1907
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:31,600
Speaker 7: a slower start than Earling Holland. He's not setting the

1908
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 7: world on fire. However, in spite of the scoring from

1909
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:37,040
Speaker 7: these two, those are the only goals in Champions League

1910
01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:40,760
Speaker 7: so far for Manchester United, and it has been heartbreak

1911
01:43:41,120 --> 01:43:43,680
Speaker 7: through two games as they just cannot get out of

1912
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:47,040
Speaker 7: their way. Every time I would watch Manchester United and

1913
01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:51,479
Speaker 7: the Turkish side Galatasarai duel, every good thing Manchester United

1914
01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:55,160
Speaker 7: would did would be immediately countered by the Turkish club

1915
01:43:55,439 --> 01:43:57,240
Speaker 7: stuffing them back into the ground. And it was the

1916
01:43:57,240 --> 01:44:00,120
Speaker 7: red card on Cassamiro that really sealed the deal in

1917
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:04,720
Speaker 7: the final minutes three to Galatasarai. And that's compounding on

1918
01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:08,719
Speaker 7: top of their previous loss four to three two weeks

1919
01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:13,640
Speaker 7: ago to Bayern Munich with just a complete parade of

1920
01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:17,439
Speaker 7: goal scoring by Bayern Munich, by Harry Kane, by Serge Narbi,

1921
01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:21,720
Speaker 7: by Sane, by Mathis Tel. And it was that goal

1922
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:24,280
Speaker 7: by Mathis Tel in stoppage time that sent this from

1923
01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:26,320
Speaker 7: a three to three draw into a four to three

1924
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:29,280
Speaker 7: win by Bayern Munich. And to be honest, I don't

1925
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:31,880
Speaker 7: know where the relief for Manchester United is. You've got

1926
01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 7: to hope you get back a game against Galatasaray, you've

1927
01:44:35,080 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 7: got to hope you sweep Copenhagen, and you've got to

1928
01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:40,760
Speaker 7: hope for just a better outing against Munich. But I

1929
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 7: don't think that's coming. I think Munich is taking that group.

1930
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:47,160
Speaker 7: It's a awful group that Manchester United finds themselves in

1931
01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:49,800
Speaker 7: and a two loss hole is something they might not

1932
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:52,759
Speaker 7: be able to climb out of. Meanwhile, it's the Italian

1933
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:55,320
Speaker 7: clubs who had a very good showing last year but

1934
01:44:55,760 --> 01:44:57,960
Speaker 7: have come out of the gate a little flat. Ac

1935
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:01,799
Speaker 7: Milan with two draws, with a win and a draw

1936
01:45:01,920 --> 01:45:05,160
Speaker 7: in quite honestly a very poor group, and Inter Nazi

1937
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:07,840
Speaker 7: and Allen even a poorer group with a one win,

1938
01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:11,960
Speaker 7: one draw, a step behind real associate DoD It's not

1939
01:45:12,200 --> 01:45:16,040
Speaker 7: pretty for them. The ones who haven't surprised Barcelona, who's

1940
01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:19,559
Speaker 7: in a very poor group, who's probably best, who doesn't

1941
01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:21,519
Speaker 7: really have much in the way of anyone to really

1942
01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 7: challenge them. Your leader in goal differentials at plus six,

1943
01:45:25,479 --> 01:45:29,880
Speaker 7: Manchester City the other Manchester meanwhile, a top their group,

1944
01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:34,360
Speaker 7: no surprise whatsoever. The real challenge for Manchester City doesn't

1945
01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:38,320
Speaker 7: come here in Champions League from their group. I'm sure

1946
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:41,200
Speaker 7: that they'll be able to handle the rest of young boys,

1947
01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 7: Red Star Belgrade and Leap Signal problem. However, if you're

1948
01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:48,360
Speaker 7: looking for something to watch as an appetizer to your

1949
01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 7: NFL Sunday slate look no further than the Premier League,

1950
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:55,640
Speaker 7: as Manchester City is taking on Arsenal, last year's runner up,

1951
01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:58,240
Speaker 7: and once again these two are battling for the top

1952
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:01,320
Speaker 7: of the table. Manchester's with all of its weapons, with

1953
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:05,720
Speaker 7: Earling Holland who score scoring has not slowed down whatsoever.

1954
01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:10,080
Speaker 7: But don't write out Arsenal just yet. Yes they look

1955
01:46:10,120 --> 01:46:13,280
Speaker 7: a step behind Manchester City right now. Yes they might

1956
01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:16,240
Speaker 7: get emotional here and there, and yes they're coming off

1957
01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:20,440
Speaker 7: a very tough loss against Lens in the Champions League,

1958
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:23,880
Speaker 7: putting them two points behind where they really should be

1959
01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:26,400
Speaker 7: in their group. But Arsenals showed themselves to be something

1960
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 7: special last year and I believe they can try to

1961
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:31,800
Speaker 7: recapture that. Manchester City is just so good. In any

1962
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 7: other year we would be praising Arsenal's return to form.

1963
01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:38,360
Speaker 7: Now I did promise MLS Cup playoffs. Three things you

1964
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:41,080
Speaker 7: should know as we enter the final month here for

1965
01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:45,720
Speaker 7: MLS regular season. Number one, FC Cincinnati has the Supporters

1966
01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:48,320
Speaker 7: Shield down. The Supporter Shield, in case you don't know,

1967
01:46:48,800 --> 01:46:52,280
Speaker 7: is the trophy for the regular season. That means a

1968
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:55,559
Speaker 7: lot more in European soccer and a lot less in

1969
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:58,240
Speaker 7: American sports, So it's a bit of a cleft thing

1970
01:46:58,280 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 7: when you do have a playoff cup that does matter

1971
01:47:01,320 --> 01:47:03,960
Speaker 7: so much in the United States. But I don't want

1972
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:07,639
Speaker 7: anything to diminish what FC Cincinnati has done. That club

1973
01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 7: has been able to turn it around from a very

1974
01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 7: poor few years that they've been showing, always at the

1975
01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:16,719
Speaker 7: bottom of tables, always struggling to keep up, always gasping

1976
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:19,599
Speaker 7: for air. And look here they are. It's twenty twenty

1977
01:47:19,680 --> 01:47:22,479
Speaker 7: three and the little club that was always at the

1978
01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:27,480
Speaker 7: bottom of the East is now the supporters Shield Champions.

1979
01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:29,800
Speaker 7: Well done, and a lot of it comes off the

1980
01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:33,320
Speaker 7: leg of Luciano a cost us sixteen goals in the

1981
01:47:33,400 --> 01:47:36,120
Speaker 7: season so far. Look for him to continue that goal

1982
01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:40,080
Speaker 7: scoring prowess as we get ready for the playoffs. Number

1983
01:47:40,080 --> 01:47:42,760
Speaker 7: two you should know is that Saint Louis City is

1984
01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:45,840
Speaker 7: having a year for the ages for an expansion team.

1985
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 7: This is expansion team from this year, but Saint Louis

1986
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:51,640
Speaker 7: City SC is at the top of the Western Conference.

1987
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:54,960
Speaker 7: I believe they're going to clinch here very soon. If

1988
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:57,679
Speaker 7: they have not. They did take a pretty nasty loss

1989
01:47:57,720 --> 01:47:59,760
Speaker 7: to the white Caps, which allow the white Caps to

1990
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:03,120
Speaker 7: move into playoffs. Here but I believe City is going

1991
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:06,600
Speaker 7: to remain the number one spot there. They've got to

1992
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:09,000
Speaker 7: watch out for the Sounders nipping at their heels, only

1993
01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:12,960
Speaker 7: seven points behind entering this weekend. They can steal home

1994
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:16,440
Speaker 7: field advantage from them if they so wish. But everything

1995
01:48:16,479 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 7: that Saint Louis has done this year has been phenomenal,

1996
01:48:21,360 --> 01:48:25,320
Speaker 7: and finally number three, look out once again for LAFC.

1997
01:48:26,320 --> 01:48:26,559
Speaker 6: Now.

1998
01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:29,879
Speaker 7: I contend that the East right now is much stronger

1999
01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 7: than the West in MLS between Cincinnati, Orlando City and

2000
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:37,280
Speaker 7: the Columbus Crew. And wins late in the season have

2001
01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:40,080
Speaker 7: been a real struggle for them to find and it

2002
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:43,040
Speaker 7: may indeed cost them home field advantage in several spots

2003
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:43,880
Speaker 7: in the playoffs.

2004
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:45,439
Speaker 5: But I will say they've.

2005
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:48,839
Speaker 7: Been playing some very tough opponents here down the stretch

2006
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:51,599
Speaker 7: that is really taking that away from them. And look

2007
01:48:51,640 --> 01:48:54,160
Speaker 7: out for Dennis Bowoga because he just scored a hat

2008
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:58,280
Speaker 7: trick over Minnesota not long ago. And there is nothing

2009
01:48:58,320 --> 01:49:00,719
Speaker 7: more to say about this team. It is the defending

2010
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:03,160
Speaker 7: champions for a reason, and they look like they are

2011
01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:06,000
Speaker 7: hungry to go again. Now you might notice those three

2012
01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:08,200
Speaker 7: I didn't mention Lionel Messi. That's because Lionel Messi is

2013
01:49:08,200 --> 01:49:10,200
Speaker 7: not gonna be playing in these playoffs. I hate to

2014
01:49:10,200 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 7: be cheeky about it, but it's the truth of it.

2015
01:49:12,439 --> 01:49:14,040
Speaker 7: In spite of the fact that all the coverage I

2016
01:49:14,080 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 7: see still remains Messy, Messy Messi. I get it, play

2017
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:19,519
Speaker 7: the hits, but we should also talk about some of

2018
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:21,439
Speaker 7: the teams who are going to be on your TVs

2019
01:49:21,720 --> 01:49:24,240
Speaker 7: come November, and that is the world of soccer.

2020
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:28,880
Speaker 1: Well, he's not wrong. I mean, the Lionel Messi story

2021
01:49:29,040 --> 01:49:31,400
Speaker 1: was huge, and there was never any guarantee he was

2022
01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:34,440
Speaker 1: going to end up inner Miami, and there were soldout

2023
01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:36,880
Speaker 1: crowds who are replayed. He was like a traveling rock

2024
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:41,320
Speaker 1: show and he was scoring goals. He'd get out of

2025
01:49:41,320 --> 01:49:44,600
Speaker 1: Bedding's score goals. I mean to the point where you know,

2026
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:46,960
Speaker 1: people were joking on other networks that they were letting

2027
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:49,320
Speaker 1: him score goals. Well we know that's not true, but

2028
01:49:49,720 --> 01:49:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, speaking of playing the hits, he was a hit.

2029
01:49:51,720 --> 01:49:54,200
Speaker 1: But that's the thing about the world of soccer. There's

2030
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:58,599
Speaker 1: always news and it's onward and upward, and MLS has

2031
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:00,679
Speaker 1: really take him out of life of its own, especially

2032
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:05,240
Speaker 1: with all the international players that come over to finish

2033
01:50:05,320 --> 01:50:07,560
Speaker 1: up their career and they're still we still have a

2034
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:09,320
Speaker 1: lot of gas to tank if you get my drift.

2035
01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:11,880
Speaker 1: Coming up, we wrap up the show and I share

2036
01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:16,720
Speaker 1: you share with you my week of travels as it

2037
01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:21,760
Speaker 1: were with Urban Meyer. I broke a story Tuesday, and

2038
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:25,280
Speaker 1: it's set the world on fire because people are skeptical.

2039
01:50:25,360 --> 01:50:29,519
Speaker 1: But guess what, it's starting to trend heavily in my direction.

2040
01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:33,280
Speaker 1: I will explain. Coming up, I'm Bernie Frattle. We're company

2041
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:36,400
Speaker 1: Alive from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tireck dot

2042
01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:38,759
Speaker 1: Com Studios. Keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie

2043
01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:44,120
Speaker 1: Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right, we're wrapping

2044
01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:48,080
Speaker 1: it up on the Bernie Frattle Show. Before I go

2045
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:52,440
Speaker 1: any further this evening, I want to thank my broadcast

2046
01:50:52,479 --> 01:50:55,960
Speaker 1: team back in Los Angeles. They've been with me since

2047
01:50:56,240 --> 01:51:01,200
Speaker 1: eleven pm Pacific on Friday, and nartic producer Mark Ramsey

2048
01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:04,200
Speaker 1: turning all the Dallas keeping us glued together. Of course,

2049
01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 1: Kevin figures all those great updates and Shay checking in.

2050
01:51:09,479 --> 01:51:12,759
Speaker 1: Great job, guys, great teamwork, and appreciate all the efforts

2051
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:14,800
Speaker 1: so we can keep this show on the air and

2052
01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:19,760
Speaker 1: bring this finally entertainment to a greatful nation. Hey, by

2053
01:51:19,800 --> 01:51:24,959
Speaker 1: the way, real real quickly, just short answer, Kevin figures,

2054
01:51:25,080 --> 01:51:27,360
Speaker 1: do you believe urban Meyer will ever have a head

2055
01:51:27,360 --> 01:51:30,000
Speaker 1: coaching job again in Division one college football?

2056
01:51:33,320 --> 01:51:33,760
Speaker 5: For a second?

2057
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:38,920
Speaker 1: Sorry, okay, okay, no problem. How about you, Shay, real quickly, Well,

2058
01:51:39,080 --> 01:51:43,320
Speaker 1: do you believe urban Meyer I will coach again in

2059
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:44,160
Speaker 1: college football?

2060
01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:45,680
Speaker 5: I mean I don't. I don't see it as a

2061
01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:50,000
Speaker 5: necessarily like thing that's impossible, right, I mean we've we've

2062
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,479
Speaker 5: seen it all, honestly. I mean I've seen people come

2063
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:53,160
Speaker 5: back I come out.

2064
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:56,800
Speaker 1: Of but just real quickly, yes or noes? Okay, fair enough, buddy,

2065
01:51:57,320 --> 01:51:59,439
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's a good answer. We'll see

2066
01:51:59,880 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 1: I bet you if I asked this question two years ago.

2067
01:52:03,880 --> 01:52:06,160
Speaker 1: What about Hugh Freeze, and you know the issues he

2068
01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:08,559
Speaker 1: had in the SEC. He's not only back coaching and

2069
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:10,519
Speaker 1: he got a good gig at Liberty. You know now

2070
01:52:10,560 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 1: he's the head coach at at Auburn. How about Rick Patino?

2071
01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:18,280
Speaker 1: You know his travail's and obviously he's got a big

2072
01:52:18,280 --> 01:52:21,240
Speaker 1: time coach. He's you know in college basketball. Now again,

2073
01:52:22,439 --> 01:52:25,080
Speaker 1: how about Bobby Patrino. I mean he's clearly had his

2074
01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:30,559
Speaker 1: issues and he's your offensive coordinator for Texas A and M.

2075
01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:33,599
Speaker 1: So you know, you guys talk about the astros. Well,

2076
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:35,920
Speaker 1: who was the manager of that team that got caught cheating?

2077
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:38,880
Speaker 1: It was aj Hinch? Well A J Hinch had to

2078
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:42,520
Speaker 1: answer a lot of questions. But he's he's back managing

2079
01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:44,800
Speaker 1: for the Detroit Tigers. So why do I bring all

2080
01:52:44,840 --> 01:52:49,559
Speaker 1: this up? On Tuesday, I was having a relatively innocent

2081
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:53,160
Speaker 1: conversation with you know, one of my moles, one of

2082
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:56,040
Speaker 1: my people, one of my sources back in Michigan, and

2083
01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:58,040
Speaker 1: he says, you're not gonna believe who's in town today

2084
01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:01,559
Speaker 1: in East Lansing. I go who? He says, Urban Meyer?

2085
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:04,920
Speaker 1: I said, huh, what is he having breakfast at the

2086
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:09,520
Speaker 1: flapjackshack Well. I started to ask a lot more questions

2087
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:14,320
Speaker 1: and he says, no, he's you know, we believe that

2088
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:21,400
Speaker 1: he is having preliminary talks with the Michigan State to

2089
01:53:21,439 --> 01:53:23,880
Speaker 1: see where this could possibly go. Now, I want to

2090
01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:26,519
Speaker 1: make one thing very clear, because it's amazing how people

2091
01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:31,240
Speaker 1: convolute things, twist things around, and selectively listen. I have

2092
01:53:31,320 --> 01:53:34,040
Speaker 1: not and will not predict that urban Meyer will be

2093
01:53:34,120 --> 01:53:36,760
Speaker 1: the next head coach of Michigan State. I did not

2094
01:53:36,960 --> 01:53:40,000
Speaker 1: say that or imply that. I didn't even mention that

2095
01:53:40,120 --> 01:53:41,960
Speaker 1: I thought he may even get an offer. But what

2096
01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:45,639
Speaker 1: I did say, and that I stand by one thousand percent,

2097
01:53:46,320 --> 01:53:49,120
Speaker 1: is that he was in a lancing earlier this week,

2098
01:53:49,240 --> 01:53:54,559
Speaker 1: most likely Tuesday. All right, Now, it's funny because I've

2099
01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:57,280
Speaker 1: I've broken a lot of stories in five years. Here,

2100
01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:02,080
Speaker 1: eighteen months ago, when Jim Harbaughugh flew to Minnesota on

2101
01:54:02,280 --> 01:54:05,080
Speaker 1: recruiting day to interview with the Vikings, I made it

2102
01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:08,960
Speaker 1: very clear. Put a time stamp, tweet, time stamp text

2103
01:54:09,000 --> 01:54:12,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Torres, I'm sticking to my gun. The Vikings are

2104
01:54:12,360 --> 01:54:14,960
Speaker 1: not going to hire him. I was told by people

2105
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:18,599
Speaker 1: I trust that this is a courtesy interview because Quezy

2106
01:54:18,640 --> 01:54:22,720
Speaker 1: and Dolfo Mensa from you know, the personnel director for

2107
01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:26,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings, Harbaugh worked with him in San Francisco. They'd

2108
01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 1: already committed to Kevin O'Connell and Harball was not going

2109
01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:32,000
Speaker 1: to get the job. And people were coming at me, No,

2110
01:54:32,040 --> 01:54:34,080
Speaker 1: it's done deal. He wouldn't be flying there. No, that's

2111
01:54:34,160 --> 01:54:37,360
Speaker 1: not true. My moles are right. Let's go back just

2112
01:54:37,400 --> 01:54:41,440
Speaker 1: to you know, let's see around that same time, melt Tucker,

2113
01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:44,640
Speaker 1: I had reported would be getting a ninety five million

2114
01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:47,720
Speaker 1: dollar extension because of the interest to LSU showed right

2115
01:54:47,760 --> 01:54:50,280
Speaker 1: on down the line. People said, you're crazy. Tucker even

2116
01:54:50,680 --> 01:54:52,880
Speaker 1: went and said, thanks so much on flatter, but I'm

2117
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:56,400
Speaker 1: stay at Colorado. Well guess what he got. He got

2118
01:54:56,440 --> 01:54:58,800
Speaker 1: the money and he ended up in Michigan State. And

2119
01:54:58,800 --> 01:55:03,080
Speaker 1: now I know that's gone out, but you know, you

2120
01:55:03,240 --> 01:55:06,880
Speaker 1: saw what happened there. No one believed me then, so

2121
01:55:07,680 --> 01:55:09,320
Speaker 1: no one really, you know, cared a whole hell of

2122
01:55:09,320 --> 01:55:12,840
Speaker 1: a lot. There's always pushback on those two events. But

2123
01:55:12,920 --> 01:55:15,920
Speaker 1: when I reported the urban Meyer one, it lit the

2124
01:55:15,920 --> 01:55:19,440
Speaker 1: world on fire. People are on sense. They've gone literally

2125
01:55:19,560 --> 01:55:22,280
Speaker 1: crazy about this. But like a million hits on my

2126
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:26,600
Speaker 1: Twitter page, and I mean thought, you know, hundreds of

2127
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:29,200
Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of retweets and this and that, and

2128
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:33,200
Speaker 1: the vast majority of people are on my side. But

2129
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:36,080
Speaker 1: I've got some knuckleheads. And by the way, Bruce Feldman

2130
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:41,240
Speaker 1: wasted no time in tweeting out these reports are false.

2131
01:55:42,640 --> 01:55:44,640
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer has zero interest. Well you know what, urban

2132
01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:46,480
Speaker 1: Meyer denied he was going to Ohio State too, and

2133
01:55:46,520 --> 01:55:48,680
Speaker 1: he did not. He was going to Jacksonville too. And

2134
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:51,920
Speaker 1: I tweeted at Bruce Felt and I said, hey, you

2135
01:55:51,920 --> 01:55:54,040
Speaker 1: didn't hear what I said. I didn't say he whether

2136
01:55:54,120 --> 01:55:56,120
Speaker 1: he was interested or not. I said he was in

2137
01:55:56,160 --> 01:55:59,360
Speaker 1: East Lansing. Did you ask him that? Crickets asked Brady

2138
01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:01,560
Speaker 1: Quinn the same thing. Crickets. Now, I wean't to see

2139
01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:04,480
Speaker 1: if it gets brought up on Big newon Kickoff here,

2140
01:56:04,520 --> 01:56:07,400
Speaker 1: which kicks out, which you know airs at about five hours.

2141
01:56:07,920 --> 01:56:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if it will. I don't think it'd

2142
01:56:09,480 --> 01:56:12,160
Speaker 1: be good form to detract from their show, but they might.

2143
01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:14,640
Speaker 1: But even if they do, Herban he can say hell, no,

2144
01:56:14,680 --> 01:56:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm not going. I'm not interested. Do you believe them?

2145
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:22,080
Speaker 1: That's just not how this thing works. So this is

2146
01:56:22,120 --> 01:56:24,480
Speaker 1: a fluid situation. I do not think you will see

2147
01:56:24,520 --> 01:56:29,040
Speaker 1: any decisions at Michigan State before December, even if they

2148
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:30,720
Speaker 1: were to come to terms with Herbin Meyer. And I'll

2149
01:56:30,760 --> 01:56:33,480
Speaker 1: give it a fairly slim chance because I don't know

2150
01:56:33,480 --> 01:56:35,320
Speaker 1: that Michigan State is in the You know, they can

2151
01:56:35,360 --> 01:56:38,160
Speaker 1: coalesce right now and make this happen. That the way

2152
01:56:38,240 --> 01:56:40,520
Speaker 1: they Michigan did with Jim Harbaughugh he years ago that

2153
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:42,960
Speaker 1: everybody pulling on the same rope, and that's the way

2154
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:45,080
Speaker 1: they made it happen. I don't know that that's going

2155
01:56:45,160 --> 01:56:49,920
Speaker 1: to happen here, but don't you know, Listen, you can't

2156
01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:53,400
Speaker 1: discount anything, and I don't know the level of interest.

2157
01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:55,080
Speaker 1: And I'm going to stick to my guns that he

2158
01:56:55,160 --> 01:56:58,120
Speaker 1: was in East Lansing. Now he can deny it. Maybe

2159
01:56:58,120 --> 01:57:00,840
Speaker 1: it gets brought up Saturday and he he denies it.

2160
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:04,760
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean anything to me. So let's continue to

2161
01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:07,120
Speaker 1: watch it. I think you'll see more repartage come out,

2162
01:57:07,160 --> 01:57:09,760
Speaker 1: more people are falling in line, more people are backing

2163
01:57:09,800 --> 01:57:11,160
Speaker 1: me up. I know, by the way, they did a poll,

2164
01:57:11,200 --> 01:57:14,640
Speaker 1: who do you believe Fratto or Feldman? Sixty percent believe Fratto,

2165
01:57:14,760 --> 01:57:17,760
Speaker 1: forty percent believe Feldman. That's going to do it. Keep

2166
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:21,280
Speaker 1: it locked for the Great Anthony Gargano, Fox Sports Radio,
