2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: It is another Fox Football Saturday. I'm your host, Karmen Batali,

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: and today I have Spectrum Sports Nicky Kay with me.

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: Nikki Hi, how are you what up?

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite type of October Saturdays. Right

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: World Series on deck, college football flowing up four screens.

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: The NBA is back. We are living, baby, I know I.

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: And it's like co like the weather has dropped here

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: in Chicago, so now it like actually feels like fall

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: and it's kind of gloomy and it's kind of cold,

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: so you really don't feel bad about staying inside and

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: watching sports all day.

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: Listen. I'm an endless summer gal, but I did appreciate

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: the little uh marine layer we had here in southern

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: California as well.

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like when the sun's out, I just

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: feel like you're you. You almost feel obligated to go

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 1: outside and do something like I can't let this day

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: go to waste and this, that and the other. But

20
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: like clouds and any sort of cold weather or whatever

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: just gives you the excuse that you need to curl

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,840

Speaker 2: this World Series. U.

39
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, let's let's talk about the World Series. Uh,

40
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: and how Game one went. I mean, I don't think

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: anybody in LA wants to rehash it, But all of

42
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: a sudden I looked up and the Blue Jay has

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: had eleven runs on the board.

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 2: So listen. Yeah, I've been boots on the ground here

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: in LA. I was in the locker or the sorry

46
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: clubhouse with the Dodgers when they wanted all in New

47
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: York last year. It was one of my favorite career

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: moments for sure. Yeah yeah, and everything this is a

49
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: this is you know, the franchise in LA. I mean,

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: I'd say Lakers won Dodgers too, but just the loyalty

51
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: and excitement when the Dodgers are doing well, there's there's

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: nothing better. And and this postseason run has been relatively

53
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 2: absent of adversity for the Dodgers. You know, they they

54
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: kind of middled their way through the regular season, had

55
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: a bunch of injuries in their uh starting rotation, and

56
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: then everyone got right. Their dominant pitching has been on

57
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: full display this this October and then wow seven a

58
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: week of rest, going up against a Blue Jays team

59
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: that was stretched uh to seven in the ALCS, And

60
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: boy were the Dodgers playing on their heels last night.

61
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: And you know it's so funny. Carmen I was driving

62
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 2: and listening to you know, a promo kind of calling

63
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: coward and saying, like the the Dodgers are the restaurant

64
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: that even with the with the broken ice cream machine,

65
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: people are still gonna come up it doesn't matter. But

66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: we saw the broken ice cream machine last night and

67
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: it was the Dodgers' bullpen, and uh, guess what, Nobody

68
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: came to the restaurant because the ice cream wasn't working.

69
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: Like that's that's basically I'm sorry, like that if you

70
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: don't have pictures to come in if you're your starter.

71
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: And Blake's now and he's been absolutely lights out his

72
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: past two outings, he didn't he didn't have it last night.

73
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: We're talking, we're talking about this in the kitchen. Here

74
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: is the blue Jay's gone after his curveball, which is

75
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: normally his signature, a signature pitch, and you know, one

76
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: hundred pitches through six innings and the release. Yeah, believers,

77
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: just relievers couldn't couldn't step up.

78
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: It's so interesting to me to kind of see, yeah,

79
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: because the Daughters, you know, they win the NLCS handedly,

80
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, sweep them. That's it. They get a week

81
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: of rest, and everybody kind of is trained to think, well, rest,

82
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: rest is good, especially now you know it's the end

83
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: of the season. It's a long season, it's a long postseason,

84
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: and you're finally here and you get some chances to

85
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: kind of rest up, get right all that other stuff,

86
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: and then you see the Blue Jays come in. You know,

87
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: they went down zero and two in their series to

88
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: the Mariners, and they fight back. They've gone through a

89
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: lot of adversity this postseason. Yeah, and then they go

90
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: right into the World Series and they come out guns blazing,

91
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: and you're like, is rest really a good thing? I

92
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: think that's It's a very interesting I know, And you know,

93
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: it works both ways too, right, Some teams come out flat,

94
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: some teams don't, and it really is needed. But I mean,

95
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: I think, you know, after having all that time off,

96
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: the Dodgers just need a little bit to get back

97
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: into it. I don't know.

98
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: Well, here's the interesting thing too, because last postseason, you know,

99
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers had had a couple of you know,

100
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: the early exits prior to last year that were really disappointing.

101
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: And last year they had the week off before the NLDS,

102
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 2: and Max Munsey was very adamant that they used that

103
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: time to like just be boys and commit to eight

104
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: hours at the ballpark every day. They took treated it

105
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: like camp basically and really bought into one another. And

106
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: that was kind of the signifying you know, I guess

107
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: cohesion glue that brought that team together and made them,

108
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: you know, so resilient. But and then so then you

109
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 2: look at a week off this this postseason, what's that

110
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: going to mean? And on the other side of the coin,

111
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: I read this. This is the fifth time in World

112
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 2: Series history a team coming off a sweep is playing

113
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: a team that was stretched to seven games, and in

114
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: the previous four times the team that was stretched won

115
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: the series, which is wow, quite a you know, quite

116
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: a nod to I guess the concept of momentum in

117
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: the sport baseball. They're so random and it is crazy,

118
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: but I love it postseason, postseason baseball.

119
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: There's nothing like it there is it, Because I mean

120
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: it condenses everything about the season into you know, these

121
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: these series, which are you know, they're still long, they're

122
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: you know, the seven game series for championship and and

123
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: Championship series and for the World Series, and it's you

124
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: have some kind of time to get right, but I

125
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: don't know, it's I like, I momentum is still even

126
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: though there's their longer series, Like, yeah, momentum can really

127
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: carry you. So it'll be very interesting to see this

128
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: next game. I could see this kind of going kind

129
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: of a back and forth type deal where maybe the

130
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: like the Dodgers, is going to have to steal one

131
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: in Toronto, I think to make it compare additive early

132
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: and I like, I don't know, I'm gonna I if

133
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: the if the Blue Jays and uh, you know, going

134
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: up to nothing, it's gonna be right.

135
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: I was really I was really impressed by the I

136
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: haven't watched a lot of Toronto Blue Jays baseball this season,

137
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: but I was really impressed by their quality at bats.

138
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: And you know, it's it's something that you have to

139
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: have the the foresight, like you know, bases loaded, I

140
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: think it was one out, Yeah, it was bases loaded,

141
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: one out for the Dodgers, and Andy Potters doesn't take

142
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: the walk right, and it's just like you gotta have

143
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: you gotta play smarter than that. So it's it wasn't

144
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: just the pitching. I mean, smell, Yeah, he gave up

145
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: the two run homer, but and and didn't last quite

146
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: as long as he wanted to, and the exit didn't

147
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: set up the relievers, uh in a in a great,

148
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: great position to take over. But I just think that

149
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: the team wasn't in sync and their wins throughout this

150
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: postseason have been very complimentary, scrappy when needed to be.

151
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: So I am very interested to see how the Dodgers

152
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: come out and respond tonight.

153
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean, if the Blue Jays keep this up,

154
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, we get a different World Series champion. And

155
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: I think parody is good in any sport totally. I

156
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: want to talk about since this is Fox Football Saturday,

157
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the parody in the NFL.

158
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: And before we get into the actual kind of philosophical

159
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: parts about parody, I want to talk about teams that

160
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: were totally sure are good. I want to talk about

161
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: teams that you're actually confident in, Nikki, because I struggled

162
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: to come up with teams that don't have an asterisk

163
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: for me. So as an example, like I believe that

164
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: the Lions are a good team wholeheartedly. I think that

165
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, the coach coaching, like Dan Campbell deserves Coach

166
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: of the Year. He like he went up against Kevin

167
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: O'Connell and what Kevin O'Connell did last year, and Kevin

168
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: O'Connell have ultimately won that award, But what Dan Campbell

169
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: has been able to do, you know, year in and

170
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: year out since he got there and get this organization

171
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: to buy in and survive the attrition that they had

172
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: in their coaching ranks. This year, they dropped their first

173
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: game of the season and then don't look back after that.

174
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: But the asterisk is, I don't know who's playing for

175
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: the Lions in their secondary right now because they keep

176
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: getting injured. And this has been their achilles heel for

177
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, where it's been injuries that

178
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: have just compounded at the wrong points of the season.

179
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering, Like I wholeheartedly believe in the in

180
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions as a unit. As a team, I

181
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: think their scheme is good. I think their players are talented,

182
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: but can those players stay on the field? And that's

183
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: what I don't know. So, like, I'm confident the Lions

184
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: are good, But am I confident in them reaching the

185
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: super Bowl? No?

186
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: See, Okay, I took this. I took this question of

187
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: what teams are good in the NFL as through a

188
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: different prism, right Like I looked at it as like

189
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 2: who who could I see in the Super Bowl and

190
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: why as opposed to who who could make the Super Bowl?

191
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: But what's their biggest weakness. Right, Does that make sense?

192
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: Because I think, yeah, well that's a.

193
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: Good way to approach. It's like, who do I think

194
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: is going to end up in the super Bowl? Right right? Well?

195
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: On one hand, I mean I think this is so

196
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: chalk of me, but I think the Chiefs are like, yeah.

197
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: They back that I'm confident. Yeah, that I'm confident in

198
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: because of all the stuff that we've seen up until

199
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: this point.

200
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: Right right, I mean last game thirty one, nothing you

201
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: got Worthy Brown and Rice back, the defense put on

202
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 2: a clinic and like they for all the doubt that

203
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: came their way early in the season. I mean, you

204
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: want to talk about like a franchise that has the

205
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: merit and any ground to stand on, It's it's that one.

206
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: So I kind of you know, all right?

207
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: Is it?

208
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: Is it like taking the easy route for me to

209
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: say the Chiefs are good? I mean a couple of

210
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: weeks ago, it wouldn't have been right.

211
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: Right, Well, No, And I don't think it's taking the

212
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: easy way out, because there is it's so hard to

213
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: see like who we actually have confidence in for the

214
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: reasons I just outlined with the Lions, I think the

215
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs are up there because we have so much proof

216
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: of concept, right, like, even when things haven't gone their

217
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: way early in the season, even when they've had some

218
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: really legitimate concerns, Like I think back to a couple

219
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: of years ago when they won the Super Bowl. That

220
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: regular season, Patrick Mahomes suffered the most drops by his

221
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: receivers of any quarterback in the league, and they still

222
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: go out and win the Super Bowl. So you can

223
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: never actually count the Chiefs out, and they proved that

224
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: over and over again. So I think I believe in

225
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs too, because just because I haven't seen them actually,

226
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, not make it to the Super Bowl in

227
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: the last few years. And then my other team was

228
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills because I'm confident they're a good team,

229
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: but they're not even leading their debate right now. It's

230
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, which I said that earlier in

231
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: the or before the season started, where I was like,

232
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: I really think that the Patriots can make some noise

233
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: this year. I loved Drake May. Drake May was my

234
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: favorite quarterback coming out of that class two years ago,

235
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: and I was so scared for him when he went

236
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: in halfway through the season last year for the Patriots

237
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: because their offensive line had just been terrible, and I

238
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: was so scared that they were going to get him

239
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: hurt and that was going to affect his development. But

240
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: it all worked out. I think last year was the

241
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: best thing it could have happened for Drake May. And

242
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: now he's come back and he has a very competent

243
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: team around him. He's got a very competent stable head

244
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: coach in Mike Frable, who was just born to be

245
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: the new England Patriots head coach. And but like, at

246
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I also know that the

247
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills are a good team and I have faith

248
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: that they'll figure it out because again I've seen proof

249
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: of concept, but they haven't gotten over the hump either,

250
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: the hump being like the rest of the competition in

251
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: the A. And I'm like, if they can't hold on

252
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: to their own division, should I really have that much

253
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: confidence in them? I don't know. There's, like I said,

254
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: there are asterisks to every single one of these teams,

255
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, I'm confident they're a good team.

256
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm gonna go a little stretch stretch here.

257
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: I'm I'm going to buy stock on by property rather

258
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: on Colt's Island and I'm just I'm confident that India

259
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: is a good team. And I know you mentioned you

260
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: know a previous Coach of the Year candidate. I think

261
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: Shane Steichen might be mid season Coach of the Year

262
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: and Jonathan Taylor breakouts, I mean season MVP worthy campaign

263
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 2: he's putting on and they've gotten ninety four point differential,

264
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: which is the NFL's best. You know, it's it's just

265
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: like I and also just the story around that franchise

266
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 2: and everything with Erses passing like and seeing his daughter

267
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: on the sidelines, I just have really bought in. I'm

268
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: drinking the Colts kool aid.

269
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean, put a woman in charge and something happens.

270
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: That's all I have to say. No, I'm with you though,

271
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: because it is top to bottom. This Colts team is

272
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: really really good. And that starts with Daniel Jones, who Okay,

273
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: I have this really random take on Daniel Jones. Hit me.

274
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: I think people would take him a lot more seriously

275
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: if you just went by Dan. If it was Dan Jones,

276
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: does the Dan Jones just like sound more like a

277
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: guy that just like whips the ball around the field

278
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: and like there's no scientific basis for this whatsoever. It's

279
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: just what I hear and when I hear. When I

280
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: hear Daniel Jones, I think of like a little fifth

281
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: grader that's like, oh, Dames Daniel, not Dan, you know

282
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like I need Dan Jones.

283
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dan Jones, or keep it to Indiana Jones or.

284
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly Indiana Jones. Which you know, there's so many

285
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: things that you can do with his name too. For this,

286
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point in the season, you cannot

287
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: ignore it, like he is top three and most major

288
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: passing metrics that you want your quarterback to we top three,

289
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: and and like he's and he's consistent week in and

290
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: week out. And it's so much of that, though, is

291
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: because of the support of the run game with Jonathan

292
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: Taylor looking like the Jonathan Taylor from three four years ago,

293
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: and what we like living up to that capability that

294
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: that Colts offensive line has been phenomenal, and then the

295
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: defense has really like it just top to bottom. I'm

296
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: you're right, I'm convinced that the Colts are a good

297
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: team too. We don't have a lot of proof of

298
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: concept there though, Right it's the exact opposite of what

299
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: we're talking about with the Lions, with the Chiefs rather.

300
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: I hope it keeps up. I think it will keep

301
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: up because again, like it just everything is lining up,

302
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: everything on paper is lining up in what you see

303
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: on the field.

304
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: And they've got the like mojo around them too.

305
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: They do. They do like they're like, especially for being

306
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: a smaller market team. They're just like, no, we're swaggy,

307
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yes, yes you are. Holy holy crap.

308
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to talk a little bit more about

309
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. And there's one game in particular that I

310
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: cannot wait to talk more about because it is Aaron

311
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: and it is the Green Bay Packers facing off for

312
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: the first time. The one team that Aaron Rodgers has

313
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: not beaten are the Green Bay Packers, and he's gonna

314
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: have the chance to do that this Sunday night. I'm

315
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: so excited. We're gonna get a little bit more into

316
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: that right after this. You're listening to Fox Football Saturday.

Speaker 1: Welcome back in to Fox Football Saturday. I'm your host,

331
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: Karen Batally. I have Nikki Ka with me today and

332
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: we're talking. We talked quite a bit because it deserved it.

333
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: The World Series, the hurting that the Blue Jays put

334
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Yeah, I mean, hey, Dodgers

335
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: should be awake now. Good god. We're talking some more

336
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 1: football teams that like we have confidence in, but like

337
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: realizing that there's not a whole lot.

338
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.

339
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: I know, I enjoy it though I enjoyed the unknown.

340
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: I do too, And I think we're getting so many different,

341
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: so many things that are different than maybe what we

342
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: expected coming into this season. And we're going to get

343
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: into some of that because I think that there were

344
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: some clear like I thought the AFC North and the

345
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: NFC North we're gonna be the toughest divisions. I was right

346
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: about one of them, right. The AFC North, uh through

347
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: injury or otherwise, has become completely topsy turvy, but it's

348
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: made for of like a lot more interesting storyline copeing

349
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: compelling storylines. There we go, and if you miss any

350
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: of today's compelling show, you'll want to catch the podcast.

Speaker 1: and you'll find today's full show posted right after we

357
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: get off the air. And so one of those surprises

358
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: within the AFC North is that the Pittsburgh Steelers are

359
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: leading it. I think we thought this was the Raven's division,

360
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: maybe the Bengals division if Joe Burrow stayed healthy. Joe

361
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: Burrow has not stayed healthy. Turns out Lamar Jackson hasn't

362
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: stayed healthy either, and so between these catastrophic injuries for

363
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: some of the you know what, we thought were going

364
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: to be the powerhouse teams of this league. It's the

365
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers that have risen to prominence, the Aaron Rodgers

366
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: led Pittsburgh Steelers, in fact. And everything is on the

367
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: line for this game, culminating when Aaron Rodgers finally gets

368
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: to play his former team in the Green Bay Packers.

369
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: He was supposed to with the Jets, he was injured.

370
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: Didn't happen. Now he will get to face off against

371
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: the team Aaron Rodgers has beat thirty one to the

372
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: thirty two teams in this league. He's been in it

373
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: long enough. The Green Bay Packers are the last team

374
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: to check off, and the Steelers are on top of

375
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: their division. Like I said, the Packers are on top

376
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: of the NFC North, which is I think the hardest

377
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: division in football or the toughest, and they're also on

378
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: top of the NFC thanks to Matt Lafleur playing for

379
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: a tie, which I can't believe I'm saying, because I'm

380
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: so vehemently against playing for ties. I would so much

381
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: rather like I would be the Dan Campbell, I would

382
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,479
Speaker 1: be the Mic Brabel. I would be the ones just

383
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: like no, we're going for it. I would rather lose

384
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: than tie, you know, which is easier for me to say,

385
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: because like, there are real implications to having that win percentage,

386
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: and the Green Bay Packers are finding that out right now.

387
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: They were one of two only two one loss teams

388
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: in the league and they happen to have a tie

389
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: on their record, but it puts them at the top

390
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: of the NFC. And so this is all like, not

391
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: only is Aaron Rodgers going to play his former team,

392
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: and not only is his former team going to play

393
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: their former quarterback, but these two teams have everything to

394
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: play for. You couldn't make this more dramatic if you

395
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 1: tried a less. Of course, I think it was at Lambeau.

396
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: I kind of I wish this was at Lambeau well,

397
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: because I think that that would just well complete, complete

398
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: everything you could.

399
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: You could, you could put that on your wish list.

400
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: But there is an added element with with Green Bay

401
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh because the Packers haven't won in Pittsburgh in

402
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 2: fifty five years, so Bart star right, So Jordan Love

403
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 2: could do what Rogers and Farv never could, and that's

404
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: when in Pittsburgh. So there and on the Rogers element

405
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 2: he'd be the fifth starting quarterback ever to actually beat

406
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: all thirty two teams. So, I mean, it's kind of

407
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 2: cool the history and the intersecting paths on the line

408
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 2: in this matchup.

409
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: It very much feels like, all right, is the torch

410
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: going to be passed officially or is the veteran old

411
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: dude going to retain some of that I don't know,

412
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: like retain his crown, retain It really feels like something

413
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: out of like Game of Thrones. Maybe that's because when

414
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: I covered Aaron Rodgers, he was really into wearing cloaks

415
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: at the time.

416
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: Oh okay, and that teas up perfectly my next question

417
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: for you. So you covered Aaron Rodgers, you know his mannerisms,

418
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: the way he presents and delivers information, take it or

419
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: leave it. I do think you know, he enjoys the

420
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: media cycle that he can create sometimes.

421
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, love the yeah yeah.

422
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: And so I obviously read you know he's saying he's

423
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 2: going to retire a packer. But when he says, you know,

424
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 2: I don't have any animosity towards the organization. Obviously, I

425
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: wish that things have been better in our last year there,

426
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: but I have a great relationship with a lot of

427
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: people in that organization, you know. An he went on

428
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: to talk about growing up there, spending eight teen years there.

429
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 2: Are you buying it? Do you think he's got a

430
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 2: little bit of a grudge in him still?

431
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: He absolutely has a grudge. Aaron Rodgers is famous for

432
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: holding grudges. He is, absolutely, he's so salty. And there

433
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: they did not end well for him, even though the

434
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: writing was on the wall, because he talked about you know,

435
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: he knew the writing was on the wall when they

436
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: drafted Jordan and this, that and the other, but he

437
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: hung on for three more seasons while Jordan rode the

438
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: bench yep. And I like, he absolutely thought that he

439
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: could overcome that. And like all the proof you need

440
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: is that he had two of his MVP seasons in

441
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: that time period after the right, So that's like he

442
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: absolutely wanted to show them that it would be a

443
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: mistake to move on from him, and then they did

444
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: it anyway, And that was I mean, like he talked

445
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: like there were so many conflicting things that he said.

446
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if you listened to this man talk for

447
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: more than thirty seconds at a time, he will say

448
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: something to contradict himself, and I'd like, trust me, as

449
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: someone who had to watch every Macabee appearance that he had,

450
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: who had to sit in the press conferences listening to him,

451
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: I was like I would make mental tallies of like, well,

452
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: you just said that, yeah, because and then and then

453
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 1: you said this, which is the opposite of the thing

454
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: you just said that, you know, thirty seconds ago. Sosolutely,

455
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: this absolutely means everything to Aaron Rodgers to go and

456
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: beat his former team. And I mean, these guys are competitors,

457
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: and so no matter what the situation is, never ever

458
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: believe a single one of them when they say it's

459
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: just another game when there is this much context and

460
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: this much stuff built up around it, whether that's I mean,

461
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: we saw it even with the Bears playing the Saints,

462
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: which was just like a nothing game on a national level,

463
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: but Dennis Allen was playing his former team, the team

464
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: that fired him, and they kept saying throughout the week, Oh,

465
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: it's it's just a it's just another game. It's just

466
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: another game. You know who got the game ball, the

467
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: one and only game ball after that win was Dennis Allen. Yep,

468
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: So like I don't want to hear this is just

469
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: another game for anybody, and then especially when you add

470
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: in just the intrigue and the drama and the grand

471
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: standing that comes with Aaron Rodgers. I mean, he absolutely

472
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: wants to beat these guys and right back around, I mean,

473
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: I him and Jordan Love seem to actually have a

474
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: really good relationship, but I do think that like they're

475
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: like they're not from a from a human standpoint, They

476
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: have no animosity towards each other, but I think Jordan

477
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: Love absolutely wants to kind of shake the rest of

478
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers off and be like, no, this is my

479
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: team now and we're not pining for you, we don't

480
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: need you anymore, all that stuff. So I really I'm

481
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: very interested to see how this goes because I think

482
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: that this could be a major passing the torch game.

483
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: Like if Jordan Loves goes in there and lights the

484
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh defense on fire, like that is just like it's

485
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: gonna be incredible to witness. And then on on the

486
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: other side of it, though, if Aaron Rodgers goes in

487
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: and he plays like twenty fourteen, Aaron Rodgers, I like

488
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: being passed the torch is not being passed, and he's

489
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: saying no, like I just it's gonna I either way.

490
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: Either way this ends up, it's going to be so

491
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: dramatic and we're gonna keep talk about it for weeks.

492
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: I love it. I this is This is what makes

493
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 2: me intrigued in games that you know I wouldn't necessarily like.

494
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: It's the storylines like this. It's the head to head

495
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: matchups between two narratives.

496
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: Right, and so in the NFL is our best reality show, right,

497
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: I am fully that is that is I say it

498
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: all the time. The NFL is our best reality show

499
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: that we have. Uh and with that, we have some

500
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: fun stuff going on in college football? Why don't we

501
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: find out about it? From Martin Wiz.

502
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 6: I'll tell you it's Daniel Jones may not swing it,

503
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 6: but DJ jonesult.

504
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: Oh see, that's even better than Dan Jones.

505
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 6: DJ Jones sounds like a guy third and passer rating

506
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 6: in the NFL.

507
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: That's so true.

508
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, So you know I'm not trying to steal your

509
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 6: thune to you later, No, No, I just I.

510
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: Just don't think like Daniel Jones is like the guy

511
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: that like corrects you just like say his full name

512
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: and you're just like, no, nobody likes that guy.

513
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones is a CPA.

514
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 6: I yes, Honestly, when I hear Daniel Jones, I think

515
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 6: of the Workaholics, Catherine Zeta Jones, but it doesn't.

516
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: Quite cool Man Jones is awesome, but I don't.

517
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 6: But I don't know if that's what I should be

518
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 6: thinking when I'm watching, like, you know, second and seven,

519
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 6: but top fifteen matchup in the ICEC Missouri in Vanderbille,

520
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 6: scoreless right now, seven to fifteen left in the first half.

521
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 6: Missouri with the ball and Bopabuelah looks like.

522
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 7: He's about to know he's going to go down at

523
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 7: the one yard line.

524
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 6: There's a flag on the play though, as he was

525
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 6: just about to score a touchdown with Levenman's left in

526
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 6: the first half. V YU eleventh rainth Cougar's undefeated ay

527
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 6: tril Iowa State seventeen to seven with like Levenman's left

528
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 6: in the first half, six fifteen in the second quarter,

529
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 6: Washington with a fourteen to ten lead over twenty three

530
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 6: in Illinois. Illinois coming back in this game, they actually

531
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 6: trailed fourteen to three.

532
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 7: I would just scored the touchdown.

533
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 6: This thirty one went to nothing against Minnesota twelve minutes

534
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 6: left in the first half.

535
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 7: Thanks for coming out, Golden Gophers.

536
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 6: Elsewhere in college football, in Alabama and South Carolina and

537
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 6: Crimson tie with a seventh to three lead over the game.

538
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 6: Cox fourth rank in Alabama fourteen minutes left in the

539
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,560

540
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 6: rank Longhorns leads seven to nothing. Early in the first

541
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 6: we saw Indiana be Ucla fifty six to six. Georgia

542
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 6: Tech remains unbeaten. Date beat Syracuse forty one to sixteen.

543
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 6: Old miss beat Oklahoma. It gives Oklahoma's second loss thirty

544
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 6: four to twenty six. Virginia survives North Carolina in overtime.

545
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 6: Two point conversion attempt seventeen to sixteen would have gave

546
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 6: Bill Belichick his first win and conference play. Lamar Jackson

547
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 6: won't play against the Bears. He's got a hamstring. It's

548
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 6: his third straight game out. Tyrod Taylor ruled out. Justin

549
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 6: Fields will start the game for the Jets against the Bengals.

550
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 6: Nobody tell Woody Johnson the Cowboys have played places. Trayvon

551
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 6: Diggs on I are home this the next four games,

552
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 6: and Kirk Cousins expected to start for the Falcons as

553
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 6: Michael Pennic suffered a bone bruise in his left kneed.

554
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 7: Farman, Nikki back to you guys, Thank.

555
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: You Martin, and now we're gonna get to our first

556
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: guest of the day, a man that has called his

557
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: fair share of drama NFL on Fox MLB on Fox Chicago,

558
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: Bulls play by play announcer and world renowned DJ Adam.

559
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Adam, how are.

560
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 5: You like every time you add like one extra completely untrue,

561
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 5: like additional adjective to it, those great.

562
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: It's not it's not no, no, it's all true. How

563
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: many different places have you DJ'ed?

564
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 5: Adam, like four or five, but not around the world,

565
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 5: just around our wonderful or wonderful United States.

566
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: They get whatever, whatever, it's fine. You're multi talented, Adam.

567
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: That's what I'm getting at when.

568
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: You're talking about the calling of or Adam being able

569
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: to call fair share of drama? What was what was

570
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: this game, Adam that you called and your emotion was

571
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: captured on video? I forget like it was like a

572
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: camera at the broadcast table.

573
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 5: That might have been the final four. Yes, in twenty eighteen,

574
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 5: the women's.

575
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: Final four, Men's Final four, the Erique Goumbualle. Correct. Indeed, yeah,

576
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: that's what it was.

577
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: That's what I was introduced to your game, and I

578
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: was like, this man needs to be calling more games

579
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: and low.

580
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 5: No hole here we are now a lot of games. Yeah,

581
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 5: so whatever you manifest that it's come true, Nikki, I

582
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 5: appreciate it.

583
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: But I mean the one that has permanently made it

584
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: into my actual vocabulary lexicon was the Josh Giddy halfpoint

585
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: shot for the Chicago Bulls and a game winner where

586
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: you just go probable, impossible, And now I say improbable

587
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: and impossible at like every mundane thing in my life.

588
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: Sounds like I'll be saying that for the next seven days.

589
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: It's incredible. But Adam, you are in Charlotte right now,

590
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: you are about to call the Panthers game. Give us

591
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: an idea of what now that the bull season is

592
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: in full swing and everything, give us a give us

593
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: a rundown of what your week has been like.

594
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 5: I mean, the season just got going on Wednesday. They

595
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 5: played the Pistons on Wednesday night. They had had a

596
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 5: victory in a season opener for the first time in

597
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 5: four years.

598
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: K sports up.

599
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 5: So it's already the trajectory is on its way up

600
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 5: right now, but a lot of the week is just

601
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 5: dedicated to getting ready for the NBA season because that's

602
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 5: the first game of the year. So there's a lot

603
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 5: more that goes into it, just general team preparation and

604
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 5: around the league stuff. What are the rule changes, things

605
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 5: of that nature. Obviously you prepped the opposing team, and

606
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 5: then you know in the last few days you have

607
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 5: to pivot pretty quickly to get back into the NFL flow.

608
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 5: It's it's been fortunate in the sense of preparation reasons

609
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 5: that we had Carolina two weeks ago when they knocked

610
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 5: off Dallas, so you know the turnaround for that is

611
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 5: relatively quick. And then I haven't called the Buffalo Bills

612
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 5: game in five years. I think the last Bills game

613
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 5: I called was the first of their now five consecutive

614
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 5: division title clinching clinchers. We called a game against when

615
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 5: they're on the road in Denver in twenty twenty at

616
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 5: an empty stadium where they clinch the first of what

617
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 5: is now five straight titles. So it's been a while

618
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 5: since I've seen the Bills. And Josh Allen and Sean McDermott,

619
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 5: there's a bunch of homecomings with a lot of Buffalo

620
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 5: Bills used to play for Carolina coming into tomorrow's game

621
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 5: for the first time against their old team. So I

622
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 5: had a lot of new stuff to turn around in

623
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 5: the last couple of days. But sure enough, we'll be

624
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 5: ready to go once so one o'clock rolls around tomorrow

625
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 5: will get kicked off.

626
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: Adam, it feels so. I don't know. It's always just

627
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: interesting this time of year, right because you have the

628
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: World Series, football is king, and yes, the NBA is

629
00:31:54,760 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: back and it's really exciting. But it is interesting that

630
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: we get a what seems to be a movie plot

631
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: dropped in our laps with this gambling scandal and what

632
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: DJ is calling Operation Royal Flush in the like, just

633
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 2: on the tail end of a season kickoff that's also

634
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: bringing in new broadcast partnerships. And I mean, with someone

635
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: who's ingrained in the NBA as yourself, what do you

636
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: make of it?

637
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 5: Disappointing obviously, but I guess it's not shocking that at

638
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 5: some point something like this would take place. And there's

639
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 5: just by sheer volume of people involved in sports across

640
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 5: the board, and obviously the NFL has had more crackdowns

641
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 5: in the last couple of years, and they've had more

642
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 5: suspensions obviously since they instituted their policy. The NBA has

643
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 5: seemingly had a policy for quite some time, and especially

644
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 5: something like we're seeing on two different fronts, you know,

645
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 5: from Chauncey billups with you know, the kind of the

646
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 5: these mafia connections supposedly and illegal poker games or whatever

647
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 5: they're discussing right now, Terry Rozier, who this probe has

648
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 5: been kind of going on over the last year now,

649
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 5: and it's obviously disappointing, but it's not all that shocking.

650
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 5: It's more prevalent now obviously anything with sports betting. That's

651
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 5: not surprising that there have been issues across the board

652
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 5: in sports. At one point in Major League Baseball, there

653
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 5: was a thought that Pat Holberg, an umpire who is

654
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 5: for the most part considered to be one of the

655
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 5: better and more accurate umpires, at least behind home played

656
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 5: in Major League Baseball, there is alleged incidents of him

657
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 5: working with a friend of his to place bets on games.

658
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 5: I am not shocked that this is starting to pop

659
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 5: up as sports betting in general becomes more and more

660
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 5: prevalent and has become more and more prevalent over the

661
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 5: last few years.

662
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: And real quick, just what do you think is the

663
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: responsibility then of the leagues who are taking money from

664
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: these gambling companies but then turning around and telling their players, hey,

665
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: you have to adhere to these really strict gambling rules,

666
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: Like what is the lead? What are the responsibilities of

667
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: the leagues to kind of keep those those two things

668
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: separate and to somehow draw that line.

669
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 5: At some point you're basically going to have to say

670
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 5: if you bet on this sport or involved in any

671
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 5: type of betting on the sport the way it was

672
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 5: with I mean, Pete Rose is probably the most prevalent

673
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 5: American sports example, at least that I can think of

674
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 5: right now. You know, at least in the last hundred years.

675
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 5: If you go back beyond that, you're looking at the

676
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 5: you know, the Black Scott Black Sacks of scandal in

677
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 5: the late nineteen tens. So you have to go a

678
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 5: pretty far away back to get it to that level

679
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 5: when guys were throwing the World Series. But Pete Rose

680
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 5: bet on baseball. And if you're a player that's involved

681
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 5: in the NBA, a coach that's involved in the NBA,

682
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 5: and you're betting on your own sport that may require

683
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 5: the most extreme possible punishment, which would be a lifetime ban,

684
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 5: and that if we get to that point, I won't

685
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 5: be shocked if at some point you're forced to do that,

686
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 5: because you're kind of working out of both sides of

687
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 5: the ledger here. You don't want this to be a

688
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 5: part of your game if at all possible, but you're

689
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 5: happy to take the money from you know, sports betting companies.

690
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 5: And again, I'm not telling anybody what's right or wrong.

691
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 5: This is pure capitalism that at its quote unquote finest

692
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 5: right now, So I'm not going to tell somebody what

693
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 5: they can and can't do. But if it becomes a

694
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 5: problem within your own league and the integrity of your

695
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 5: own league is starting to be compromised, which was the

696
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 5: case at least that was deemed by various Hall of

697
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 5: Fame boards over the years about Pete Rose, then a

698
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 5: lifetime band might end up being the very first punishment,

699
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 5: and maybe a zero tolerance policy. I don't know what's

700
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 5: going to end up being the deterrent, but it's going

701
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 5: to have to be something that affects a player's opportunity

702
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 5: and financial future enough to where you're completely turned off

703
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 5: from turning to amiling to use any Whether it's the

704
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 5: further fuel of your financial desires, I'm not sure what,

705
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 5: but you may get to that point at some point.

706
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's messy to say the least. But

707
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,959
Speaker 1: that's why I love you, Adam, because you can talk

708
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: through us through all of this, you know, some more

709
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,239

Speaker 1: to be a lot of fun. Thanks again for coming

Speaker 1: Uh probably nice thing anybody's ever said to me.

725
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: I got you.

726
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: I I want to keep talking about what we were

727
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: talking about with Adam, and I'm going to incorporate it

728
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: into this next segment because it deserves a little bit

729
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: more discussion. And with that, we're going to get to

730
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: the dues and the don'ts of the week.

731
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 3: High putting a spotlight.

732
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,959
Speaker 2: On the don't the subject brings me no joy.

733
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: Don't that that's insane.

734
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 3: It's time for the dues and the don'ts in sports.

735
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So, as promised, I'm going to start this off, Nikki,

736
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: don't with a don't. Don't be surprised when players and

737
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: coaches gamble with your league full of gambling sponsorships. I

738
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: mean there were there was coverage of this on major networks. Yes,

739
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: and then there's like the gambling company's sponsor or. In

740
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: this case, it was part of the network. Uh like

741
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: the little.

742
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: Ticker at the bottom, you know what I had one

743
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 2: it was it was do read the room because Kevin Garnett,

744
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 2: who is affiliated with one of these scandals, he had

745
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: a scheduled tweet It appears yesterday and it was giving

746
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: out his prize picks.

747
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's everywhere, like it is ubiquitous in this

748
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: industry now, like gambling and sports are just like they

749
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: are inevitably tied together. They are inextricably tied together now

750
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: because and I just I mean, I don't I don't

751
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: know what the answer is because we're so far gone

752
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: at this point, because there's so much money that is

753
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: exchanging hands with the leagues. I mean they're with with

754
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: like the mergers of all of these different networks, and

755
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: some of these networks having their own betting companies. I

756
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: might like the the NFL now owns part of ESPN,

757
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 1: and ESPN has ESPN bet How does that work?

758
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: And then there's literally fandual mic flags for these regional

759
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 2: sports networks doing sideline interviews like it's it's all entrenched,

760
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 2: it's everywhere.

761
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 1: It is, and like especially when I mean illegal poker

762
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 1: rings are illegal poker rings and you have mob.

763
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: Ties and that sounds sick actually, like we're.

764
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: Getting We're also getting all these like old school crimes

765
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: coming out, which honestly, I love the n I'm trying.

766
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to have a Frank Sinatra winner.

767
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 2: Bring yeah, bring back real labor. You know, a I

768
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: could never a crime a broom never.

769
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: You have a jewelry heist with the lure. You have

770
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: now like an illegal poker ring that like involved some

771
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: really high profile people that's apparently tied to the mafia, like.

772
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 2: Some old school crime. Really bringing us all together.

773
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: Here seriously, I mean, is that what we need? We

774
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: need to go like I want to go back analog

775
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: to everything, and so maybe like like I want my

776
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: I want my crime to be analog to it is

777
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: what is what I'm getting out news.

778
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 2: I'm so into consuming every every loose piece of information

779
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: that comes out. I saw a photo of the detective

780
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 2: on the scene looking like a real, real Sherlock Holmes

781
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 2: detective love it said, this isn't a bit.

782
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: No wait, hey, you have to go full full on

783
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: when it comes to that kind of stuff. No, but

784
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: like I mean, there's such a larger conversation we had

785
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: about sports leagues and vetting companies that have given the

786
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: money to these guys. It's it's all insane. It's all

787
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: a mess. But we've got more coming for you. We

806
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: ubiquitous in this league. But in that on that vein,

807
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit more about what

808
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: we're about to see for week eight coming up. I

809
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: can't believe we're in weekend already. Uh, but there's a

810
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: couple of games I want to get to and the

811
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 1: first one may not be the biggest one as far

812
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: as like a national kind of intrigue. But some stuff

813
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: has just broken in about Lamar Jackson and how he

814
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: was designated in the Ravens practice reports, more specifically the

815
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: one on Friday where he was listed as a full participant. Initially,

816
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: it comes out that he was running scout team, which

817
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: per NFL rules, requires a limited designation. So the Ravens

818
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: have now issued a statement. This literally just happened thirty

819
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: five minutes ago. Statement from the Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson

820
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: was present for and participated fully in our entire Friday

821
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears. Upon further

822
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: evaluation today and after conferring with the league office, because

823
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: Lamar didn't take starter reps in practice, we updated our

824
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: report to reflect his practice participation. That is essentially lying

825
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: by omission. If Lamar Jackson ran scout team, that is

826
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: not at all the same as Lamar like hearing Lamar

827
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: Jackson as a full participant in practice, that leads you

828
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: to think that Lamar Jackson is going to play well today.

829
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: He was downgraded to out and he is not going

830
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: to play against the Chicago Bears tomorrow on Sunday, Like

831
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: you have now, I get that there is a gamesmanship element.

832
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: You want to keep as much information as you can

833
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: close to the best. If you're the Baltimore Ravens, this

834
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,919
Speaker 1: is also a home game, and you probably wanted people

835
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: to you wanted to put butts in seats, but you

836
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: cannot circumvent the rules in order to do that. I

837
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: was in the Bears locker room this week and talking

838
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: to players about just how you prep for uncertainty, especially

839
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. And not only that, but all right,

840
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: if Lamar Jackson can't go, you have two potential backups

841
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 1: in Cooper Rushian and Tyler Snowpuntley. Snoop Huntley and Cooper

842
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: rush are vastly different quarterbacks and therefore, like preparations for

843
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: them why they're very different, and they're very different from

844
00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: obviously preparing for Lamar Jackson. But this is this, this

845
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,439
Speaker 1: is an issue with the Baltimore Ravens kind of being

846
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: purposely obtuse or ambiguous, it's probably a better way to

847
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: describe it. With Lamar Jackson's like practice participation and for

848
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: those that don't know, when you cover a team and

849
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: you go to practice every day, you're only allowed media

850
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,479
Speaker 1: is only allowed to be out there for about twenty minutes.

851
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the viewing period is very limited. And you're also

852
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 2: normally conveniently positioned across the field, across.

853
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: The field, across the way. It can't see a whole lot. Yeah,

854
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: and you are like, most all of that is just

855
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: individual drills, maybe some special teams. That's all the team

856
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: activity that you get to see in the regular season

857
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: because access has been so limited. So you wouldn't know

858
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson was starting on scout team in that

859
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: case because you wouldn't have seen any of the actual

860
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: team work or any of the team drills that are

861
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: team periods that happen in practice. So this is going

862
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: to be very interesting. Now Lamar Jackson can't go, it

863
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: sounds like Tyler Huntley is going to snoop. Untley is

864
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 1: going to get the start. I he his game is

865
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: probably the most similar to Lamar, I mean, much more

866
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: than Couperuscious is. So you're kind of in prepping for

867
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: a dual threat, you know, mobile quarterback. That's what the

868
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: Bears have tried to do. The Bears also just announced

869
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: that their cornerback Kyler Gordon has been put on I

870
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: placed on IR after just returning this last week. He

871
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: now will go on IR for four weeks. So they're

872
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: going to be down with their defense a little bit,

873
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: going against what should be kind of hopefully, I mean,

874
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens are going to try to get something going,

875
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: but without Lamar.

876
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean and big picture question like I know,

877
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 2: obviously you like you feel for the opponent of this week,

878
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,439
Speaker 2: but talking about what this means for the Ravens as

879
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 2: a whole, is there Sea, I mean, are they done

880
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 2: like four game losing streak. This was supposed to maybe

881
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 2: be a get right it's week eight, Like I.

882
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bears are riding a four game win

883
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: streak right now, so first since twenty eighteen, and they

884
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: look to be I mean, they're not playing well though

885
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: I need to add that disclaimer, but they're winning. But

886
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: they're not playing well. They're just finding ways to win.

887
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: But with a team like the Ravens that is down

888
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: with so many different injuries across the board, I mean,

889
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: they left they lost Justin Madabeyue on the interier of

890
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: that defensive line earlier in the season that has just

891
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: proved to be really hard to make up four defensively,

892
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: and then you now have Lamar Jackson out and yeah,

893
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. The teams don't come back

894
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: from one to six. So I'm like, yeah, I think

895
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: we're out on the Ravens at this point, because like

896
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 1: if it's not in the AFC North, like if the

897
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: competition isn't there in the AFC North, it's it's certainly

898
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: there and the rest of the AFC when you know,

899
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Chiefs, we're talking about the Bills,

900
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Broncos, were talking about the Colts,

901
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: like we're talking about all these AFC teams where the

902
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: top of this conference is very convoluted, and I just

903
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: don't know how the Ravens make up enough ground even

904
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: when Lamar Jackson comes back after going down one in six.

905
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: I think the most you could hope for is something

906
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 1: like nine to eight. But how far is that really

907
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: going to get you in the AFC?

908
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I.

909
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,720
Speaker 2: It is interesting, Like you said, first, first and foremost,

910
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 2: the layer of you know, deceit is kind of too

911
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 2: strong of a word, but Lamar on on scout team

912
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 2: and then to learn that he's out another week, and

913
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 2: when is this Ravens team going to get right? And

914
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 2: it doesn't feel like it's going to be this season.

915
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: No. I mean, I don't think there's anything like you

916
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 1: know now, I think you're you're starting to look at all, right.

917
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: Is there are the trade dead deadline implications that's coming up?

918
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: Does this have any implication on John Harbaugh's job. I mean,

919
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: he's been with the Ravens for eighteen seasons. I think

920
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: he's only had two losing seasons.

921
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 2: In that span, and I think that might be I mean,

922
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 2: I don't think it seats hot yet, is it?

923
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: That's my question? I don't know. Is it after like

924
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: how this season has just fallen spectacularly to pieces in

925
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: so many different ways too. I mean there's there's I

926
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: don't know, there's like probably a conversation to be had there.

927
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if it should be hot, but will

928
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: it be? I mean, this is a results driven league,

929
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: we know that. And I mean the Bears have granted,

930
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: like you know, I love the direction that they're going

931
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: under Ben Johnson. I think that he has them going

932
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 1: in the right direction. He's building something in Chicago that

933
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: hasn't been seen there since I was a teenager, as

934
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: far as just kind of the grit and the toughness

935
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: of a team and trying to you know, make them resilient.

936
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 1: And they've shown that over the course of the start

937
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: of the season. They went down, you know, lost their

938
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: first two games, and now they've come roaring back. But

939
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: it's still see.

940
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 2: Him stop the run.

941
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 1: I need oh yeah, run. Oh No. Like I said,

942
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: the Bears are not playing good football right now, not

943
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,479
Speaker 1: like I love that the run game has gotten going

944
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: and it seems like the offensive line is doing their

945
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 1: job in run blocking. They're getting better in pass protection.

946
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: Caleb is taking far less sacks than he was last year,

947
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: but he's still holding the ball a little too long.

948
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: He's still missing some you know, like he's got some

949
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: accuracy issues when you're talking about especially down the field,

950
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: which he's virtually not even trying, and then even some

951
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: of the short stuff like he's not seeing. You need

952
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: him to kind of get better at that. And then defensively,

953
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: the takeaways are masking a lot, which you'll take that

954
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 1: every day of the week. Honestly, if you can get

955
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,919
Speaker 1: takeaways and give your offense more chances, that's always good.

956
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: And their pass rush is slowly but surely kind of

957
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: coming up, but so much of that has depended on

958
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: getting everybody back in that front seven in particular, and

959
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: Kyler Gordon is one of those guys where like he was,

960
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: he's a guy that you can bring in on a

961
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: Nigol blitz. He's a guy that likes to get his

962
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: hands dirty in the pass rush, and he is good

963
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 1: against the run as well, and some of those run fits.

964
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: So that's not going to help anything. But they do

965
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: have their linebacking, a really good linebacking Core and t J.

966
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: Edwards and Jamaine Edmunds. So I'm going to be very

967
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: interesting to see, like if the Bears can capitalize on this.

968
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm I grew up here, so I have my trust

969
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: issues with the Chicago Bears, but I do covering this

970
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: team very closely, and you know, being there at least

971
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,879
Speaker 1: once a week. I really like what Ben Johnson's done there.

972
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: It's good to hear.

973
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 2: It's good to hear, like from from what you're experiencing

974
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 2: boots on the ground, because everything that man has been

975
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 2: builed to be, you know, you hope the cultural shift

976
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 2: is at least it's beginning, And I do I do

977
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 2: think wins are part of are part of what create

978
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 2: that that buy in, right, So it might not be pretty,

979
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 2: but and it's so funny because you say, you know,

980
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 2: sometimes it's the process, not the results that are the

981
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 2: most meaningful. But sometimes results can can help the process

982
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,240
Speaker 2: solidify a little bit quicker.

983
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that's dead on, because I really I was

984
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: trying to brace Chicago in general because I'm ever the

985
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: realist when it comes to this that I was like,

986
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: it's not gonna look good in the beginning. It's not.

987
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: It's just not like they had too much turnover. You know,

988
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: they brought in an entirely new regime. You know, new

989
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: offensive scheme, new defensive scheme, everything is new. There's a

990
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: bunch of new players, YadA, YadA, YadA, Like this is

991
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: going to take some time to gel and sure enough

992
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: it has. I just thought that was gonna come with

993
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: losses and it hasn't. And the fact that it hasn't

994
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: and like that, that's icing on the cake. That's gravy. Like,

995
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm very happy for the Chicago Bears. I don't think

996
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: they're a good team yet. But Ben Johnson even said

997
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: it to start the season where he was like, we're

998
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: not going to play our best football until December. We'll

999
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: be playing our best football in December. And he's dead

1000
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: on with that. I just didn't know Chicago could have

1001
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: the patience to suffer through the losses, you know what

1002
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,399
Speaker 1: I mean, Like before they just went doom and gloom again.

1003
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: And sure enough, in the beginning of the season when

1004
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: they dropped those first two, so many people were like,

1005
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, we're just helpless, and like everybody was

1006
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: ready to jump, and I was like, guys, you gotta

1007
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: be more patient than that.

1008
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 2: Dare I say it, though, Bears fans are having their

1009
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 2: cake and eating it too.

1010
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: Right now that I know, and I mean, this is

1011
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 1: like the best possible scenario where you're still like, you're

1012
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: working on things, you're improving incrementally week by week, and

1013
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: you can see that tangibly in across the board, whether

1014
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: it's with Caleb Williams, whether it's with the offensive line,

1015
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 1: whether it's with the defense or the run game in particular.

1016
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 1: But they're still stealing wins. So the fact that they've

1017
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: they've stacked four wins here, it leaves the like, I

1018
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: don't know that they have enough still again to make

1019
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: noise in a division that has the Lions and the

1020
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: Packers in it. But I mean, you have to feel

1021
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: good if you're a Bears fan.

1022
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 2: Stealing winds like a heist from the loop.

1023
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: Like a heist of the loop, like the precious crown

1024
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: jewels that are wins in the NFL. Look at that

1025
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 1: full circle. Love that, all right. We didn't get we

1026
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: didn't leave enough time or you know, there was too

1027
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: much to talk about with that.

1028
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 2: Game Picture Stars organization.

1029
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean I had to talk about him, man. I

1030
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: spend way too much of my time there and thinking

1031
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: about them not to bring them up in this and

1032
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: then especially with all the Lamar Jackson and stuff. We'll

1033
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: see how this goes, but we are going to talk

1034
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 1: some more football, and we're gonna talk maybe some more

1035
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: philosophical stuff about parody in the NFL. Coming up right

1036
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: after this. You're listening to Fox Football Saturday. As much

1037
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 1: as I hate to cut this one off, Welcome back

1038
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: to Fox Football Saturday. Carmen Vitali here, I've got Nikki

1039
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: Kay with me. We're hanging out. We're talking football. Yeah,

1040
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: we're talking. We're talking. We're but we're also talking being bamboozled,

1041
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:48,760
Speaker 1: run amuck, let us stray by so many zuder people.

1042
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: At this point, we have the cheating scandal, the gambling

1043
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: scandal in the NBA. We find out now that the

1044
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: Ravens just blatantly cheated by listing Lamar Jackson as a

1045
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: full participant on from when in fact he was running

1046
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: scout team and therefore should have been designated as a

1047
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: limited participant as per NFL rules.

1048
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 2: Alas, I also woke up with hope in my heart

1049
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 2: that these gutsy bruins would have a chance against Indiana.

1050
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: Oh boy did they not?

1051
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 2: They did not. But you know what, We're building something

1052
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,959
Speaker 2: in Westwood. That's all I can say.

1053
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, well here, And I can't take credit for

1054
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: this this thought, this actually comes from Victoria Zeller on

1055
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: Blue Sky, who's a really good follow if you if

1056
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: you don't follow her, you should. But she's like, you know,

1057
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: if this was any other team, I'd just be like

1058
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: really really like you had to put the hurt and

1059
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: on him that bad. But Indiana literally has to every

1060
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: single week because like they have to fight against the

1061
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 1: notion that they're not that like they're not actually that good, right,

1062
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: or that they don't deserve the designation of best football

1063
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 1: team in the country right now because they do. Like

1064
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: last year, like you know, they came out of nowhere,

1065
00:54:58,160 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, this is such a fun story.

1066
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: Like I think people thought that they would kind of

1067
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: regress back to the mean somewhat this year because now

1068
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: people know to watch out fro him and they are

1069
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,439
Speaker 1: dominating like that. They they are playing big boy ball

1070
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: right now. And but like they kind of have to

1071
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: keep throwing that in everybody's face to get them to

1072
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: believe it.

1073
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 2: And they're not. They're not a hateable, you know, They're

1074
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 2: not a hateable powerhouse. And I think I like it

1075
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 2: because it's something different. I mean, I know Ohio State

1076
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 2: is Ohio State could even be better than last year's

1077
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 2: Ohio State. But it's really fun to have a new

1078
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 2: name enter the group chat.

1079
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: It is and I mean Kurtzignetti is yeah, oh my god,

1081
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: like Google me, I'm.

1082
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 2: Like, oh, I think Jenny Taft asked him pregame. You know,

1083
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 2: I was locked in. I am. I'm partial to the

1084
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 2: Jerry Neuheisel nol Mazzoni storyline at UCLA I know, I

1085
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 2: know both of them very well and have been It's

1086
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 2: been really fun to see them have joy in a turnaround.

1087
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 2: And uh so, so all that being said, you know,

1088
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 2: Jenny asked Sinnetti if he, you know, if there was

1089
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 2: any concern about facing a team, you know, with with

1090
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 2: such good positive energy or momentum, and he just looks

1091
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 2: at her and goes, you can't. Can't play football, raid

1092
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 2: and then just walks away.

1093
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: I was like, yep, football guy, Like yeah, so easy

1094
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 1: to see why, you know, like he could, like he's

1095
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: gonna be able to recruit with the best of them,

1096
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: especially with all these results to back it up. Funny

1097
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: story though, Nolazoni was our offensive coordinator at Arizona State when

1098
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: I was a student assistant for them.

1099
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I mean I'm really good

1100
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 2: friends with his kids and so Taylor, Oh yeah, well

1101
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 2: Taylor was. Taylor was the one who kind of introduced

1102
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 2: me to what sideline reporting was because he was the

1103
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 2: graduate assistant when I was. I was working in the

1104
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 2: recruit with the recruiting girls at u c l A.

1105
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Coach Moura and Mora brings in Mazzoni.

1106
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 2: The Mazzoni's and yeah, Taylor and Grayson's one of my

1107
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 2: best friends. And Ali I called myself the lost Mazzoni.

1108
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's hysterical. I'm going to text Taylor

1109
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: and be like, we just gave you a shout out.

1110
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, hysterical.

1111
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. He was an offensive like he was like either

1112
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: a grad assistant or like a student assistant at Arizona State.

1113
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: That's when I met him, and then we ran into

1114
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: each other at the Combine and Indy last two years ago.

1115
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 2: You're a great family, and I was like, what are

1116
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 2: you doing here?

1117
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: It was so much fun. All Right, that's neither here

1118
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: nor there, but we are going to talk about. Okay,

1119
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: so parody maybe an audixist in college football, because we

1120
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: know the Ohio State's good, we know Indiana is good,

1121
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: even if nobody else decides to say that that's the case.

1122
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: But we're going to get into the parody of the NFL.

1123
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: And before we do that, I want to give a

1124
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: little shout out to the iHeartRadio app. You can stream

1136
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 2: on I haven't said the word Ostrich in a long time.

1137
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: Ostrich.

1138
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 2: I didn't want to say Ostrich. Ostrich. Seen that Red

1139
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 2: Ostrich logo on MLB postseason helmets. That's Strauss, trusted by

Speaker 2: it was parts, built like tools parts pants.

1142
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: No, it's pants.

Speaker 2: r a Uss dot com. Pants built like tools.

1148
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, pants built like tools. Why not you need that

1149
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: for baseball? Sure? Yeah, all right. I want to get

1150
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: back to this notion of parody though, because we're talking

1151
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: about it doesn't exist in college, but it exists in

1152
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: the NFL pretty much more than any other year that

1153
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: I can think of. It seems like any team is good.

1154
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: We talked earlier in the show about what teams we

1155
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: were confident in, what teams look like super Bowl contenders

1156
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: now eight weeks into the season, which is a decent

1157
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: enough sample size, and I didn't have any teams. I

1158
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: feel like we didn't have any teams that there at

1159
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: least wasn't one little asterisk of why we're not completely

1160
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: confident in them. And if you think twenty of thirty

1161
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: two teams are sitting at five hundred or better right

1162
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: now in the NFL, but there's only two teams with

1163
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: one loss, and one of them, like we talked about,

1164
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, have a tie in their record.

1165
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: So whether you like this or not, and this is

1166
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: kind of bringing a full circle, probably depends on how

1167
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: into gambling you are, because parody means there's a lot

1168
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: more guesswork, right because you just have absolutely no idea.

1169
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: But it does every like there is a new best

1170
00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: team in the league. I got on this very show

1171
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: last week talking about how the Bucks, the Tampa Bay

1172
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Buccaneers were the best team in the league, and absolutely

1173
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: they absolutely deserved to be talked about that way. And

1174
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: then they went out on Monday Night football and the

1175
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 1: Lions just ran all over them. And I'm like, okay,

1176
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: so now the best team in the league can be beaten.

1177
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: And now you're like, all right, well, the Lion's the

1178
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: best team in the league. Well, they've got a lot

1179
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: of injuries they're dealing with, and they look they don't

1180
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: look teflawon by any stretch of the imagination. So it's like,

1181
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: there is this concept of parody where we just have

1182
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: absolutely no clue who is going to end up in

1183
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. And so often this has always been

1184
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: the case. It's not always the best teams that make

1185
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: it to the super Bowl. It's the ones that get

1186
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: hot at the right time, healthy at the right time

1187
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: that the other There's always been that element of parity,

1188
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: but it just seems like this year it's been more

1189
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: pronounced than ever.

1190
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 2: Right, And I like it. And I like the fact

1191
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 2: that the Chiefs started off wobbly and having everyone questioning

1192
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,479
Speaker 2: if their dynasty was done and now oh watch out

1193
01:00:55,560 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 2: here comes Kansas City. I like that Indianapolis is relevant

1194
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 2: and Denver is a you know, a threat and the

1195
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 2: rams like you can never count them out. And I

1196
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 2: just I think it's really enjoyable and I think it

1197
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 2: makes for a better product all around. Honestly I did too.

1198
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: I Mean, I like this is when you're talking about

1199
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: the storylines and you're talking about kind of the context

1200
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: around the game. I mean, it's so much more than

1201
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: just the game itself, right, and like if you can

1202
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 1: attach stories and you know, like like reasons to root

1203
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: for certain teams, I mean, like the fact that anybody

1204
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: can get their heartbroken, I think also kind of adds

1205
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: to the camaraderie of the fan. And like, this is

1206
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: why I love sports. Is why I fell in love

1207
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: with sports was just like the emotion that it ilicit,

1208
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: that they elicit, and just the way it brings people

1209
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: together and misery loves company. Man. So like if you

1210
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 1: can get your heart broken ripped out of your chest

1211
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: every single week, and it can happen to you, it

1212
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: can happen to your friend, it can happen to your mom,

1213
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: it can happen to your brother, like it can happen

1214
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: to anyone at any given week, because any team in

1215
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 1: any given week can win. But it's it's really fun,

1216
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: Like from an analytical standpoint, though, to try and make

1217
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: sense of all of it, because it's just like, well,

1218
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers are really good, but they lost

1219
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: the Browns. But how did that happen?

1220
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 2: I know, it's like then the Eagles losing to the Giants,

1221
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 2: And I was just going to say, like, speaking of which,

1222
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 2: it's I've totally bought into the dart and skataboo.

1223
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: Oh well, my son can'ts kataboo? My son? I know

1224
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 1: Arizona stage, He's not actually my son, no, no, no, no,

1225
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 1: but I like, but I call him my son.

1226
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 2: Like I know one New York Giants fan in my life,

1227
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 2: but now I I'm all in on the Giants content.

1228
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 2: I can't get enough of those two.

1229
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: You know, if the Giants aren't going to be reliably good,

1230
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: at least let them be reliably fun, because that hasn't

1231
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: been the case either for for a while now, right

1232
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: like it hasn't been fun to be a Giants fan.

1233
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: The Jets are still stuck in that purgatory and will

1234
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: be probably for the foreseeable future. But the Giants at

1235
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 1: least have, like you know, they're they're stealing some wins

1236
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: here and there that they shouldn't be winning, and they're

1237
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: doing it in a way that like is very it's

1238
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: fun and Jackson Dart and Cam'skataboo are just we were

1239
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: trying to come up yesterday actually with a comparison for them,

1240
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: like in in pop culture. So we were like, are

1241
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: they are they run and stimpy? Are they being a

1242
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Beavis and butt Head? Are they SpongeBob and Patrick?

1243
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 2: Or like what about what about a dumb and dummer?

1244
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: But yeah? Or are they dumb and dumber.

1245
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 2: Lloyd and what's the other one's name?

1246
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 1: Why I'm gonna show myself. I don't. I've always seen

1247
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: that movie once. It's a really long time ago. I'm not,

1248
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:37,439
Speaker 1: I know.

1249
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 2: I just like the the orange and blue outfits. I

1250
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 2: was as considering that for a possible Halloween costume.

1251
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Cam's Gataboo didn't go to Arizona State

1252
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: to do school. I'll just I'll just to play school.

1253
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you that much. And I love him

1254
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: for it. He is my bowling ball of a son.

1255
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: And I mean there are some wild stats too to

1256
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: back those, like the performance of those two up Cam's

1257
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: Gattaboo and He's forced thirty one missed tackles after taking

1258
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: over the Giants backfield in Week three. This is according

1259
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: to NNGS, he trails only Christian McCaffrey go and he

1260
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: didn't even start playing until week three, h three hundred

1261
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: and sixteen rushing yards after contact over that time frame,

1262
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: which is the fourth most in the NFL. So basically,

1263
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: like good luck, bringing you good. It's fantastic. I love them,

1264
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: and I love it for Giants fans because if you know,

1265
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: if you don't have real aspirations this year, which I

1266
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe you do, because like you, they're playing

1267
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles this week and again and if the could

1268
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: you imagine the Giants sweep the Eagles this week?

1269
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 2: Right, slascreen day turnaround is really intriguing for this matchup.

1270
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Vibes are gonna be real bad in Philly if the

1271
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Eagles don't pull this one out.

1272
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 2: So what's going on with aj Brown?

1273
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: It's it's the it's the it's the wide receiver tweet.

1274
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: It's always the wide receiver tweet. It's like the you

1275
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,439
Speaker 1: know quarterback all love to God really good, like tight

1276
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: end thurp and then like wide receiver the enemies like

1277
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: speak softly but carries a big knife and you're just

1278
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: like the there's always something with wide receivers.

1279
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, broa we good, No, we're not.

1280
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah. I could go into the statsue about how A. J.

1281
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: Brown is being targeted at like the top five clip

1282
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 1: at this point, and like his completion percentage isn't greape

1283
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: and that's not entirely his fault because the balls that

1284
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: he's being thrown out catchable, but he's also not getting

1285
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: enough separation. There are so many things that go into that.

1286
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: But the end of the day, you got to catch

1287
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: the ball.

1288
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 2: I love that You're like, I could go into it,

1289
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 2: but what I'm not, But.

1290
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm not because we have to bring on our guests.

1291
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: But before that, we have to get to Martin Wise

1292
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: in the update.

1293
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 7: Poof a bunch of EDGC matchups going on right now.

1294
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 6: Number four thrength Alabama undefeated a conference play well loss

1295
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,479
Speaker 6: in the year. They lead South Carolina fourteen to six

1296
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 6: at the half. To be nearing the start of the

1297
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 6: third quarter here Vanderbilt and Missouri. I'm sorry, just under

1298
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 6: twelve minutes left in the third quarter. Missouria threatening, but

1299
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 6: it's three to three right now. Both of those field

1300
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 6: goals coming in the second quarter halftime b YU and

1301
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 6: Iowa State. The cycle is leading twenty four to seventeen.

1302
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 6: Drink by You, undefeated, but again trailing at the half.

1303
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 6: Thirteen thirty left in the third quarter for Washington. In Illinois,

1304
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 6: the Huskies with a twenty one to seventeen lead over Illinois.

1305
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 6: Minnesota and Iowa the Hawkeyes leading thirty one to nothing

1306
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 6: with ten minutes left in the third quarter.

1307
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: What's happening in Iowa City?

1308
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 7: I don't know.

1309
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 6: Minnesota like thirty one points? First of all, was a

1310
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 6: good game for Iowa. They had thirty one at half time.

1311
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 6: That's why Minnesota currently has no points scored at all,

1312
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 6: which is much more like Iowa's offense in general than

1313
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 6: anywhere else.

1314
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, I remember when Iowa couldn't

1315
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: put together like three points a game.

1316
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, thirty one points. You know whatever bar had the

1317
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 7: drink special for points scored in the Iowa game. They

1318
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 7: are closed for business at the half.

1319
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 6: Texas and Mississippi State twenty secondary Longhorns are tied fourteen

1320
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 6: a piece. Indiana beat UCLA earlier today Georgia Tech over Syracuse.

1321
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 6: Both of those teams main undefeated eight and zero oh

1322
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 6: Miss gave Oklahoma it's second lost thirty four to twenty

1323
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 6: six for sixteenth third Virginia feeding North Carolina surviving a

1324
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 6: two point from version attempt that was one yard short.

1325
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 6: And Lamar Jackson will not play against the Bears with

1326
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 6: a hamshring injury despite being listed as a folk which

1327
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 6: has been in practice. There's been some asterisks applied to

1328
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 6: that practice injury report at this point. Now he's gonna

1329
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 6: miss his third a straight game.

1330
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, Thank you Martin so a rash

1331
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 2: Mark Casey will be joining us. But he's in the

1332
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts press conference right now, So that's that's exciting.

1333
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 2: He's in Toronto.

1334
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 1: He's in Toronto.

1335
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 5: I I this.

1336
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to get Araja's take on all of

1337
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: this as well. But where're like, we're talking about just

1338
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 1: like analog crimes and things that are happening like around

1339
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: the league. And now you have the Ravens coming out

1340
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: and just blatantly you heard Martin Wise say that Lamar

1341
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: Jackson will not start for the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday

1342
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: against the Bears. But there is I want to This

1343
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: came from Courtney Cronin, who covers the Bears for ESPN.

1344
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 1: She went and she pulled out the NFL's personnel injury

1345
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: report policy to look up. All right, you know, I said,

1346
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 1: per NFL rules like if Lamar Jackson was running scout team,

1347
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: which he was on Friday, he cannot be listed as

1348
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: a full participant per NFL rules. This is the actual rule.

1349
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 1: A player who participates in individual drills but for medical reasons,

1350
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 1: does not take his normal repetitions during the team portion

1351
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 1: of practice and is assigned to the scout team should

1352
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 1: be listed as limited participation. It literally explicitly states this.

1353
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 2: So they both through.

1354
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 1: So is that a fine?

1355
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 2: What what's upunished that?

1356
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't know? So that's that's my next question is, so,

1357
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: so now the league is going to be looking into this,

1358
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: because apparently the league looks into any sort of changes

1359
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 1: in player statuses on a day to day basis across

1360
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: the across the league. That's that's not anything new. But this, like,

1361
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this prompted the Ravens to make a statement.

1362
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 1: This prompted the Ravens to you know, like not all

1363
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 1: adjust everything on the injury report and send out an email.

1364
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 1: But they actually physically put out a statement on social

1365
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 1: media and like it spells it out so explicitly in

1366
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 1: the rule book, and I'm like, these rules aren't new either.

1367
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what. I don't know what the consequences

1368
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: for this are, because I get that you wanted, as

1369
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:22,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens organization, you wanted to keep as much intrigue

1370
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: as to who was starting for gamesmanship purposes. But you

1371
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 1: can't blatantly lie, and you can't blatantly like you this,

1372
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: this is, this is, this is, this is lying. It's deceiting,

1373
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: it's it's deceitful, it's all of that kind of stuff.

1374
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: And especially when like you know, to bring this full

1375
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: circle when there are bets being placed and fantasy roster

1376
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:44,680
Speaker 1: is being locked in and all this other stuff like

1377
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 1: you and and you are like subject to being covered

1378
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: by a beat that that is old accurate information. I

1379
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: don't I don't know what. I don't know what the

1380
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: what the punishment for this is is it? Do you

1381
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 1: forfeit a draft? Do you get fined? I do you forfeit?

1382
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 5: Like?

1383
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you would forfeit a game.

1384
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 2: I think I think forfeiting a draft pick sounds pretty

1385
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 2: heavy handed. I would be shocked if that's the if.

1386
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 2: I mean, if it was a recurring issue, maybe, but

1387
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 2: if this is a one off thing, it feels like

1388
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 2: it would be a fine slap on the wrist, right.

1389
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they did, like again, because they issued

1390
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 1: the statement and eventually and cleared it up before the game.

1391
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 1: I think that probably reduces whatever punishment happens, and that

1392
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 1: was probably why that statement was issued. Ye was kind

1393
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: of damage control. But yeah, I don't know, man, I that's.

1394
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 5: I like it.

1395
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 1: It's funny because it happened during Bear's week, and we've

1396
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 1: been going back and forth. Even just I was talking

1397
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: to my brother about it because my brother has Lama

1398
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 1: Jackson on his fantasy team. He's like, do I start him?

1399
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, Like he was a full

1400
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: participant in practice today, Like he's gonna play. You know,

1401
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 1: they're coming off a bye week. He's right, state, it's cool,

1402
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:01,720
Speaker 1: he's fine. Yeah.

1403
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 2: News updates as of yesterday said Lamar's likely return.

1404
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 1: Right, right, And then you wake up today to it

1405
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,639
Speaker 1: was and and I mean, you know, my brother's fantasy

1406
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: team isn't isn't the crux of the issue.

1407
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 2: Nobody cares about your brother's No, I'm just kidding. I know,

1408
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 2: I get it though, I get it. Yeah, hey, we

1409
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 2: got a World Series game game two tonight.

1410
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 1: We do that like that to take us away from

1411
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 1: all of this scandal. Let's go to baseball. Yeah, no,

1412
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 1: and a very important one because when you go out

1413
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 1: and you get embarrassed like that, like the Dodgers did

1414
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 1: uh in Toronto, if you can you can you can

1415
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 1: very quickly rectify it by stealing one in Toronto.

1416
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 2: Right and if they I always think this is so interesting,

1417
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 2: like when you when you level it up or you

1418
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 2: steal one on the road, then you have home field

1419
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 2: advantage with the way this is out the two three two.

1420
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly what you know.

1421
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 2: And I've got a bunch of Dodger fans still texting

1422
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:10,800
Speaker 2: me Dodgers in five, which I love. That exceptionalism, I mean,

1423
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 2: Dodger Dodgers standards are almost as I mean would merit though,

1424
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 2: because they're actually in the postseason conversation parenally, and their

1425
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 2: ownership has, i mean recent ownership has has reinforced that belief.

1426
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 2: But it's almost as I was gonna say, de Lulu

1427
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 2: as the Lakers exceptionalism.

1428
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:32,680
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm I'm of the volition that.

1429
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 2: That is tru Lulu. I know, no, I'm I'm really

1430
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:47,639
Speaker 2: intrigued to see what Yoshinobu yamamotos outing will be. If

1431
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 2: the bats are a little bit more patient, they don't

1432
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 2: chase as much. And when I say if they don't

1433
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 2: chase as much, there's a there's only a couple of

1434
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 2: bats in the Dodgers lineup that I think are are letting,

1435
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 2: letting the rhythm down when they don't recognize the moment.

1436
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the thing is like this, this Blue

1437
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 1: Jays team has been very scrappy and they, like everybody,

1438
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 1: thought that this was going to be a Mariner's Dodgers

1439
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 1: World Series early on in the ALCS, and that did

1440
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 1: not happen.

1441
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 2: They you know, like they want, you can't count these

1442
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 2: guys out.

1443
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: You can't. And I think that if they take a

1444
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: couple in Toronto, if they take the ones that they're

1445
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 1: supposed to in Toronto with with that home field advantage,

1446
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,720
Speaker 1: it becomes exponentially harder for the Dodgers because then the

1447
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 1: tables completely flip. And then if Toronto takes one of

1448
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: them in La then you know, it's it's It seems

1449
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 1: kind of like a rap and like you were talking about, Nikki,

1450
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: this Dodgers team hasn't faced a whole lot of adversity.

1451
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:49,680
Speaker 2: This season, right, It's it's been their regular season was

1452
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 2: you know, they kind of they weren't as dominant as

1453
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 2: we're used to seeing them. They had a lot of injuries.

1454
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 2: They got right for fall, and the postseason has been

1455
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 2: pretty pretty much a breeze one loss. You know, they've

1456
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 2: been road warriors, haven't lost on the road.

1457
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 1: You have Otani putting on the best game that anybody

1458
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:14,040
Speaker 1: best baseball game that anybody has ever played in history, right,

1459
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 1: and it's like, it's not hyperbole, right.

1460
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 2: It's not hyperbole. It's also interesting. I'm we were chatting

1461
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:25,879
Speaker 2: about this. I like, he performs brilliantly when the pressure

1462
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 2: is not tantamount, right, So I'm I would like to

1463
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 2: see him, you know, have have some some big numbies

1464
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 2: when when the Dodgers really really need it from him?

1465
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: So hey needs numbies loving numbees. All right, Well, we

1466
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: are going to go over the thing that made us

1467
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 1: laugh the most this week on social media when we return.

1468
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 1: Right after this, you're listening to Fox Football Saturday. Where

1469
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: has this been all day? Oh my gosh, this is.

1470
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 2: This is exactly what I needed to send us off

1471
01:14:58,680 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 2: on a Saturday.

1472
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 1: Seriously, Missy Elliott, what a classic? Always a classic?

1473
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 5: Uh?

1474
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:10,720
Speaker 1: And the Fall Classic? You know I transitioned. Ooh oh,

1475
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: I know. I want to keep talking about this because

1476
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 1: I want to get we have for all the Major

1477
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:17,639
Speaker 1: League Baseball we've talked, for all the World Series stuff

1478
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: we've talked about, Nikki, I haven't gotten what do you

1479
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: think is going to happen this series between Dodgers.

1480
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:27,839
Speaker 2: And Oh my gosh, I was well, I as a professional,

1481
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 2: I was hoping Dodgers in five. As I as someone

1482
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 2: who covers the Dodgers, who roots, who grew up rooting

1483
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:38,600
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. I do hope the Dodgers find a

1484
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 2: way to win it again. It'd be awesome. I also

1485
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 2: think it's there's a reason it's been twenty five years

1486
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 2: since a team has repeated as World Series champions, and

1487
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 2: their run has been pretty uh pretty smooth so far.

1488
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 2: So this is it's very interesting to me, and I

1489
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 2: don't I don't know, and I almost feel like I

1490
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 2: jinx it picking it one way or the other.

1491
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: What do you think? Do you think? One other question

1492
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 1: do you think did last night change anything? Yes, yes

1493
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: it did.

1494
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 2: That was the recipe that the Blue Jays needed to

1495
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 2: capitalize on. Get after the Dodgers starting pitching, get the

1496
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 2: bullpen in the game, and then go to town. And

1497
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 2: that's exactly what they did. And Blake Snells, I mean,

1498
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 2: he didn't have a great outing, but he's been he's

1499
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 2: been lights out, so seemed like a little it seemed

1500
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 2: from afar. Obviously I wish I was in Toronto, but well, actually,

1501
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 2: you know, covering a game like that would not have

1502
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 2: been fun. But no, no, it seemed like he was

1503
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 2: a little bit of it. Could be nerves. I don't know,

1504
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 2: he just his command wasn't wasn't as great as he

1505
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 2: wanted it to be. But you know, we'll see how

1506
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,680
Speaker 2: this team. This is the biggest adversity they've faced, and

1507
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,719
Speaker 2: how do you bounce back. I mean, even last World

1508
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 2: Series they pulled it out Game one against the Yankees,

1509
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 2: you know, Freddy Freeman's historic walk off Grand Slam and

1510
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 2: then that whole that was taking care of the five games.

1511
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 2: So the biggest, I think the biggest test this group

1512
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:15,280
Speaker 2: has faced in the last two postseasons was the Padres

1513
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 2: in the NLDS in twenty twenty four. So yeah, I'm

1514
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 2: very curious.

1515
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:23,599
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, I don't know. I mean

1516
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: that was that was a statement game as far as

1517
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm concerned from the Blue Jays last night, and considering

1518
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: that this the World Series hasn't gone to seven games

1519
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:36,280
Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen, and I feel like, and obviously it's

1520
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 1: it's possible for the Dodgers to still win the series

1521
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 1: and not go to seven games, but with how scrappy

1522
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays have been, I just don't see them,

1523
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, giving up without a fight and having the

1524
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 1: Dodgers run off like four straight right here. So if

1525
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 1: that's the case, like I just like, I don't know,

1526
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:55,960
Speaker 1: I kind of I'm leaning towards Toronto and it'd be

1527
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 1: very ironic for a lot of reasons, right.

1528
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 2: And the thing, yeah, and the thing that's so unsettling

1529
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 2: about when you're facing this Blue Jays team is like

1530
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 2: you can never count out the play that gets them

Speaker 1: commentator a sports commentator for ESPN, appears regularly on First Take.

1552
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: First Take was in Birmingham for the Alabama State Alabama

1553
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 1: and M game, and Cam Newton decided to get into

1554
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:23,759
Speaker 1: it with the Alabama A and M mascot who knocked

1555
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 1: his hat off of his head. Oh and Cam just

1556
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:31,800
Speaker 1: comes in with this like Haymaker and then they get

1557
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 1: into it in a very lighthearted scuffle. But it's really

1558
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 1: funny because it's just mascots to me are so funny

1559
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 1: and engaging with them as like real three dimensional beings

1560
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 1: like to it's just it's it.

1561
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 2: Is hilarious, Okay, Mine. I got the notification that the

1562
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 2: Giants got a two hundred thousand dollars fine for violating

1563
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,680
Speaker 2: concussion protocol for Jackson Dart and among the fines was

1564
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 2: Scataboo fifteen thousand dollars. I was like, what did he do?

1565
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 2: Dude was just being dude, put his head into the tent.

1566
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: He was good, he was checking on his guy. He

1567
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: just wanted to know. And I'm probably honestly, he was

1568
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 1: probably being a bad influence, Like get out there, Jackson.

1569
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: Like I can't imagine that Camp's Gataboo said anything other

1570
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 1: than it's just a concussion. It's fine because God knows

1571
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:19,160
Speaker 1: how many concussions that that that man has had. Yeah,

1572
