00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you heard the man. It is that

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 2: time of week. My name is Bernie Froddle. We are

00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 2: a half hours away from an NFL game, and Ireland

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: will get.

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 3: To that in a bit jam pack show.

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: We got a lot of things to get to, great guests,

11
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: lots of topics, phenomenal midnight hour. But I guess you

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: could safely say now that college football season is officially here.

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: Ye up on Saturday three at the top five go

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: down just like that Number three Penn State bam, James

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: Franklin dow four and twenty one versus top ten teams.

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: Number four LSU bam, and that Brian Kelly offense, you

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: know the one he got all pissed off and defensive

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: about last week. Still they couldn't score on Women's prison

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: with a fist full of fifties. Number five Georgia Bam,

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart now one in five first Bamah see what

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: I did there, by the way, sixty three and three

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: against everybody else. Oh how about Kayla Debor remember the

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: guy you wanted to hang an effigy about four weeks ago.

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 2: He's actually seven to one now against top ten teams.

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: But I digress. Did I mention Penn State? Sure as

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: the sun rises in the east, Penn State does what

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: Penn State does.

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,919
Speaker 3: You know, I'll give him credit.

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: You never hear about Penn State losing to the Appalachian

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: States of the world or the Northern Illinois. Not that

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: there's a great shame in that, but you never hear

32
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: about that, do you? They never They never blow the game.

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: They're supposed to win quote unquote cupcake, but they never

34
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: seem to manage to win the game. Everybody wonders if

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: they'll Yeah, I know, you can tell me. They got

36
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: to the playoff semi finals last year. They beat SMU

37
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: and they beat Boise State. All due respect to those squads,

38
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: they were severely overmatched. But the twoth of the matter

39
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: is Penn State does what Penn State does. And I'm

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: here for I mean, I texted my good buddy Joe Gibbs,

41
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: you heard him on the show last week or NFL

42
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: rough guy, I'm now for the game. Grab the Oregon

43
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: plus four. I said, Penn State is built to lose

44
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: this game, just I don't know, you don't know how.

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: You just know they will.

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: It's in their DNA. And what's interesting is you got

47
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: to overtime, and just when it look like Drew Aller

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: would maybe finally get that signature win and silence his critics,

49
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 2: he throws a pick and double overtime. That ended things

50
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: just like that and once again left the Penn State

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: faithful with more questions than answers. And it's the same thing.

52
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: It just regurgitates the same broken record of conservative play calling,

53
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: questionable decision making, spotty receiver play. What happened to the

54
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 2: three great receiver transfers? And by the way, for most

55
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: of the sixty minutes, that's where they were headed. They

56
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: had just sixty two passing yards through three quarters, but

57
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: somehow they managed to send it to overtime. Now I

58
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: get it, Penn State is very still much alive as

59
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: a playoff contender and a top twelve team in the country. However,

60
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: for James Franklin and the Nittney Allions, easy for me

61
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: to say Nittany Lions to get some national respect, they

62
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: got to be top top competition and Drew Aller. I

63
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: don't dislike Drew Aller. There's something missing there. They need

64
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: to maybe turn him loose and give him sixty minutes

65
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: of wide open play because he's yet to show that

66
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: availability or ability. Even in the playoff win against Boise State,

67
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: he threw fo one hundred and seventy one yards. Against SMU,

68
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: he threw for one hundred and twenty seven yards. See

69
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: where I'm going at. So, by the way, let's let's

70
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: not dis Oregon. They were the team on the other

71
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: side of the ball that went into that white out

72
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: and took charge. Now, Dante Moore is a kid out

73
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: of Detroit, a very familiar with went to Martin Luther

74
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: King High School. That's Oregon's quarterback, and he committed to

75
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 2: Oregon and then changed when the coat there was a

76
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: coaching change, and then went to UCLA. You saw that

77
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: worked out. So he decided to transfer back to Oregon.

78
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: But he did something kind of smart and very mature.

79
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: He says, all right, I'm not in a hurry. It's

80
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: not in a hurry to get there the quickest. It's

81
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: a quest to be there the longest. And so he said,

82
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: I'll sit behind Dylan Gabriel a year and learn and

83
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: and Dylan Gabriel sat behind bow Nicks. And by the way,

84
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: both those guys finished third in their husband voting in

85
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: their respective ten years, and they're now both in the NFL.

86
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: And Dante Moore says, yeah, I want some of that,

87
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: and he showed Saturday they's arguably the nation's top passer.

88
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: One hundred thousand people in a white out atmosphere that

89
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: might cause issues for somebody with lesser experience, but More

90
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: looked like he was playing seven on seven summer passingly

91
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 2: with the boys at the local YMCA, a lot of

92
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: pitch and catch. He completed seventy five percent of his

93
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 2: passes two hundred and forty eight yards and three scores,

94
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: added another thirty five yards on the ground, and helped

95
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: Oregon go five for seven on fourth down attempts, including

96
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: that crucial conversion in the first overtime. Don't go to

97
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: sleep on the Ducks. They brought back a bunch of

98
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: players from the team that won the Big Ten last year.

99
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: The biggest question was Dante More. He answered questions Saturday,

100
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: He's a dude. Drewe Aller take notes. Nothing against Due Aller,

101
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: take notes, James Franklin, take notes. This is just getting

102
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: so predictable. All right now, I was going to lead

103
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: with this new year, say the USC, why do they

104
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: keep trying to shove it up our TuS that this

105
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: team is different? You really thought USC had changed. Maybe

106
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: they have different faces year to year. But once again

107
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: the Trojans defense simply couldn't secure the victory and hold on.

108
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: This time they lost ALLLLNOI a team fresh off they're

109
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: sixty three to ten neil bider against Indiana the week before,

110
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: the allian and I ran over five hundred yards of

111
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: total offense and the Trojans before they finally kicked that

112
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: game winning field goal. By the way, the allian I

113
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: had two yards rushing against Indiana last week. They had

114
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy one against the Trojans Saturday. It

115
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: doesn't get much easier. They got Michigan coming up, they

116
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: got Notre Dame coming up. Forget the schedule. I got

117
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: nothing against Lincoln Riley. You know, I think Colin Carr

118
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: wants to have his baby. He just won't give up

119
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: with this guy. And you step off the bus, you're

120
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: gonna go. You're Lincoln Riley, You're gonn get two hundred

121
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: and fifty yards passing touchdowns? You know he could, he

122
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: could start, He could start Chad Power as a quarterback.

123
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: In his latest quarterback Jade Mayava took advantage of By

124
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: the way, did I mention that the ALIGNI had two

125
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: injuries and their secondary Mayava took advantage of at the

126
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: ULV transfer three hundred and sixty four yards through the year,

127
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: but it didn't matter. And by the way, you gotta

128
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: love this makayle Lemon kids, he's a literal cheat code

129
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: eleven catches one hundred and fifty one yards. He's like

130
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: the Trojans version of Puka Nakua. But Luke Attmeyer, who

131
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: had a terrible game the Illinois quarterback against Indiana. He

132
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: threw for three twenty eight. They couldn't stop him. The

133
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: Trojans couldn't stop him. That was never more evident than

134
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: on the final drive, as he allowed fifty five yards

135
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: in the last minute, fifty one to set up the

136
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: winning kick. Okay, the Trojans, they're going to score plenty

137
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: of points this season with Mayav and Lemon to stud players. However,

138
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: as long as the defense remains a liability. That's the

139
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: only hardware they're going to have a shot at. You know,

140
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: I think college football is better when se is good

141
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: and they're just not good. You want them to be.

142
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: You're telling me they're going to be, but you got

143
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: to prove it on the field. To this day, for

144
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: all the years I've loved and enjoyed and watched and

145
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 2: covered on an official capacity college football, the best.

146
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: College football team I ever saw.

147
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: And I mean it's not close with the nineteen seventy

148
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: eight USC Trojans. They crushed Alabama in Alabama that September.

149
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: We're leading twenty four to seven. Late Obama got an

150
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: excuse me touchdown.

151
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: Won the Rose Bowl.

152
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: All twenty two starters on that USC team played in

153
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 2: the NFL. All at all, the entire roster, forty two

154
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: players wore an NFL jersey. At one point, they had

155
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 2: two Heisman Trophy winners in the backfield. Marcus Sander was

156
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: the blocking back for Charles White. That team was the

157
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: best college team I've ever saw. I know, the Miami

158
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 2: people are nationally in their teeth right now, and Michigan, who, however,

159
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: whatever great city you're in, you said, yeah right now,

160
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: if they were you didn't see him. Actually think Lincoln

161
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: Riley's team could beat that team. Of course, then again,

162
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: most of those guys are almost seventy years old now,

163
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: so work with me. By the way, with all due

164
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: respect to Kirby Smart, it looks like Alabama still owns

165
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: your buddy, and Nick Saban isn't even standing on the

166
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 2: opposing sideline. But it's clear Kirby Smart has some kind

167
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 2: of Alabama problem. Smart now one in seven versus his

168
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 2: former employer, a hard fought three point wins Saturday, Bama

169
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: or Georgia could have won, to drop the touchdown pass whatever,

170
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: what does it matter? So what's the problem? I think

171
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: it often boils down to major struggles in the secondary,

172
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: and of course they can't slow down Bama's passing attack.

173
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: By the way, Georgia sends tons of defensive.

174
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: Backs to the NFL.

175
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: But when you've got Jalen Milroll throwing for three seventy

176
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 2: four against you last year, you got a problem. This

177
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: time it was Ty simpsons turn, first year starter. He

178
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: completely lit up Georgia like a Christmas tree in the

179
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 2: first half, two hundred and seventy six yards, passing two touchdowns.

180
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: Once again, somehow The Bulldogs looked unprepared for the jump,

181
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: had lost to home game since twenty nineteen. They're not

182
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: going to be sleeping a lot tonight in Athens, Georgia,

183
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: just the way it is Notre Dame.

184
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: We'll see if they're back through.

185
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 2: The first non SEC team to score fifty six points

186
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: versus an SCC team since Clemson beat South Carolina in

187
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: a similar score eight years ago.

188
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 3: Ohio State.

189
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 2: They just keep trucking again. It was a terrific college

190
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: football Saturday. It feels like college football is here. You know,

191
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: you got to trudge through those those first few weeks

192
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: where you got we hear how great USC is because

193
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: they're playing Missouri State and Georgia Tech or excuse me,

194
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: Georgia State or whoever the hell Harvey Thoris school of trucking.

195
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: Our sisters have uncontrollable flatults.

196
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: And boh Bay.

197
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: They look good. I look good. Then you put them

198
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: on the field with the big ten team who's expected

199
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: to contend, and you see what happens. You know what

200
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: bugs me to is because there was a time when

201
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: when the PAC ten was the PAC ten. Forget the

202
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: Pac twelve, The PAC ten was the PAC ten. They

203
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: played Big ten teams. The Big tens teams could not

204
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: match their skill, but the Pac ten teams absolutely matched

205
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: the Big ten's physicality never had a problem. I don't

206
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: know what happened. All the good kids and sol Kel

207
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: are leaving the state. Now the Big ten not only

208
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: matches their skill, they still continue to own the line

209
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: of scrimmage. All right, enough's enough. I'll take a deep

210
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: breath and soak my head. Now coming up. You know him,

211
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: you love and you can't leave without him. He's back

235
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 4: because this guy is over promising things we never have

236
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: time for.

237
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,720

Speaker 5: Well you know what it's called over promise.

239
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 6: You should be good at it because you've been over

00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 6: promising women for years.

241
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we

242

244
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 4: life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing

245
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 4: about something or we didn't have enough time, it will

246
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 4: continue on our after show called over Promised. Well, if

247
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 4: you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure you

Speaker 2: it's time for the Phasik five.

264
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 5: The time is not it's the Phasick five. These are

265
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 5: the five things you need to hear about them.

266
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: Not with the only back to back Hilton Super Contest

267
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: winner Steve Feszig.

268
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 5: Here's Bernie Frado.

269
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: Well fas we get to talk offline, of course, but

270
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: it's great to have you back on the show. And

271
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: obviously with the response for getting People have been waiting

272
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: for this moment, So without further ado, let's do our

273
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: usual rapid fire, staccato lightning round will hit as many

274
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: games as we can because people love to hear your opinions.

275
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: We'll start out with a six thirty am kickoff the

276
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: Vikings and Pittsburgh will tee it up in Ireland, Minnesota

277
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: l in two and a half. They're getting Jordan Addison

278
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: back from his suspension. Meanwhile, I got ask you, Ifez,

279
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: you see what I'm seeing. Aaron Rodgers does look diminished

280
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: and the Steelers defense looks wildly your thoughts.

281
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 7: No doubt. So Rodgers is only supposed to throw for

282
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 7: two oh four today, so very low number. Frankly, if

283
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 7: you would have talked to me on Monday, Bernie, I

284
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 7: would have said, I like the Vikings. I bet the

285
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 7: Vikings plus one. Well, now it's Saturday night and the

286
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 7: Vikings are linking two and a half, and you know

287
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 7: this could go to three. I made the game Vikings

288
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 7: mis two. So at the current number of two and

289
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 7: a half, I think it's fine to tease Pittsburgh upward.

290
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 7: Maybe we'll get a plus three. By the way, Pittsburgh

291
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 7: has a buy upcoming. That's been a very positive situation

292
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 7: for teams having upcoming buys. Four teams qualify. Pittsburgh, Green Bay, Atlanta,

293
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 7: and Chicago have their buy next week.

294
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: And those are all excellent points. And I know that

295
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin has been sensational as an underdog in his career,

296
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: But when I compare the two rosters side by side,

297
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh scares the heck out of me. I just I

298
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: grabbed the send off line and you know, probably closer

299
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: to a pick them. So we'll see what happens. I

300
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: feel like it's the Vikings game to win, one of

301
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: the games people are talking about a lot because no

302
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: one predicted that the Colts would be undefeated. They visit

303
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, where the Rams are three and a half

304
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: point favorites. Interestingly enough, Indianapolis fez the first team in

305
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: NFL history to score on their first ten possessions of

306
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: the season. Meanwhile, the Rams pass rush well alive and

307
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: well they lead the NFL with twelve sacks. Your thoughts

308
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: on this game?

309
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 7: So I played it over forty nine and a half.

310
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 7: It says my square ball as play of the week,

311
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 7: and I've got opposition. People are playing under on it.

312
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 7: So it's still at forty nine and a half. And

313
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 7: here was my handicap. It's not just that Indy, as

314
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 7: you mentioned, it's been so good and scoring so many points,

315
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 7: but both they and the Rams have played a scheduled

316
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 7: chock full of lower scoring teams and yet they're still

317
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 7: putting up really big production. So because of that, I

318
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 7: would expect a shootout here to occur. So I am

319
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 7: on the over forty nine and a half.

320
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: I feel like there is going to be points in

321
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: that game, and you have nice weather conditions and all

322
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 2: those things as well, So you know, a non divisional game.

323
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: I don't think you're off on that one at all.

324
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: The Commandos visit Atlanta. Atlanta does feature the number one

325
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 2: ranked past defense in the NFL, coming off sparkling thirty

326
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: to nothing lost to Carolina. Meanwhile, Washington has the NFL

327
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: best five point seven yards per play and they're catching

328
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: a point and a half at Atlanta. If you don't

329
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 2: like the Commanders, might that be a teaser spot your thoughts?

330
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 7: No, because Atlanta's gonna blast them.

331
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 5: And here's whoa Okay, okay, here's why.

332
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 7: So Washington isn't playing today flash tomorrow the backups are playing,

333
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 7: and so a good move and not playing your quarterback

334
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 7: scary Terry's not playing a wide receiver. And Atlanta qualifies

335
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 7: in a confluence of good trends. Not only do they

336
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 7: have a buye next week, they just lost, as you mentioned,

337
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 7: by thirty plus points. And it turns out when an

338
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 7: NFL team loses by thirty plus points they do very

339
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 7: well in a bounce back role the next week, and

340
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 7: especially with their buy upcoming, I expect a fully focused

341
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 7: effort from Atlanta. By the way, Cincinnati and New Orleans,

342
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 7: or the other two NFL teams that qualify and that

343
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 7: lose by thirty, they should bring it this week. Atlanta

344
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 7: just fired their wide receivers coach. Whenever coach gets fired,

345
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 7: I always like that, it's sending a message to all

346
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 7: the staff and the players. It's time to put up

347
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 7: or shut up. Atlanta by ten, we're not going to

348
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 7: tease Washington.

349
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 3: Sounds good.

350
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: I'm not involved in that game in the least, I'll

351
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: be rooting for you on the sidelines. I just can't

352
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 2: back Atlanta for any reason, honest to god, I just

353
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 2: there's something about that team. They put the moloica on me.

354
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: Every time I bet them. I'll tell you the team

355
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 2: I did bet I grabbing him for half a unit,

356
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: the Browns catching nine and a half against Detroit. I

357
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: got it when it was ten. Okay, Brown's feature the

358
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: number one rush defense only allowing fifty seven yards per game.

359
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: By the way, have the fourth range rushing offense at

360
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: a buck forty nine per game. However, I really do

361
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 2: like this Cleveland defense and Detroit coming off that sensational

362
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: Monday night trouncing of Baltimore. They own that game physically,

363
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 2: and I think they come home, you win, get in,

364
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 2: get out, get nobody here.

365
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 3: I think this game's tight. Your thoughts.

366
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 7: I think you can play unders in this game, like

367
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 7: Cleveland is a great defense, bad offense, and I do

368
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 7: think Detroit will be happy to just get the win.

369
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 7: I would have played Cleveland. But there's a trend out

370
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 7: there that makes sense if you win as a big

371
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 7: underdog and then you wheel right back as a big

372
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 7: underdog again. Human nature, you're looking at that two game

373
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 7: stretch and you're like, boy, I really want to win

374
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 7: one of these games. And Cleveland managed to do it

375
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 7: against Green Bay, so they might get blasted here. I

376
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 7: don't think it'll be high scoring. I'm going to look

377
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 7: at individual players to go under in this game, especially

378
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 7: the running backs because of the good rush defenses.

379
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's another excellent point if you went out right

380
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: as an underdog. They beat Green Bay out right last week.

381
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: But I feel like that's baked into the cake. This

382
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: is a pretty heavy duty line. But you know your

383
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: points well taken. I just think the Browns are better

384
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: than people realize. They had Cincinnati beat week one and

385
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: just pissed it away completely, so interesting. I only got

386
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 2: half a unit on it, all right, A game that

387
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: was going to catch a lot of attention because one

388
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 2: of these teams is going to be one and three

389
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: and if you're asking me, who's well, there's no such

390
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: thing as a must win on September twenty ninth, or

391
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: whatever the hell it is. But Baltimore that line up

392
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: to two and a half at Kansas City. I think

393
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 2: Baltimore needs it more than Kansas City. Here's a team

394
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 2: that scored one hundred and eleven points to their first

395
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 2: three games, which is an NFL record with teams with

396
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: the losing record. By the way, Kansas City, you have

397
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: to find their rushing attack only three rushing touchdowns this season,

398
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 2: and two are by Patrick Mahomes. But there's no way

399
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 2: in hell I'm going against Mahomes and Kansas City, especially

400
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: when they're getting points at Arrowhead, which I still call Arrowhead.

401
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 7: Your thoughts on that game, yes, spot on, Hey, Kansas

402
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 7: City as a rush game, it's called Patrick maholtons. They've

403
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 7: got to tucket and run and do it in a

404
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 7: desperation mode. We go back to the movie Wall Street

405
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 7: in the nineteen eighties and Blue Star Airline is free

406
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 7: falling until the stock hits a certain price, and then

407
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 7: simultaneously everybody who's buying for the other corporate raiders says

408
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 7: says by say buy it at sixty. Well, the buy

409
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 7: number on Kansas City is three. We are all waiting

410
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 7: for plus three minus one ten to appear, at which

411
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 7: point bye bye bye. You know we'll we'll go ahead

412
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 7: and invest in casey in a game that should be

413
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 7: very close. Find if tease Kansas City in this game.

414
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 7: Also if the three never appears.

415
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: Well, and as you know, says Pator, Mahomes kind of

416
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 2: owns Lamar Jackson.

417
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 3: He's five and one against him career head to head.

418
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: Jackson nine touchdowns, seven interceptions, mahomes fifteen touchdowns, three interceptions.

419
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: I can go up and down the line with the stats,

420
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 2: but it's like the old Casey Stegle line. Teams can't

421
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: beat the Yankees because it gets stuck staring at the

422
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 2: Penn stripes. I think. I think this Baltimore team, By

423
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: the way, if you go back to last year, they're

424
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: already one in three. This could make them one and four.

425
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: I think they're sinking under the weight of their own expectations,

426
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 2: and I don't think they're comfortable. Any final thoughts on

427
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: that game, because I don't think the number is going

428
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: to matter. I think case he wins out.

429
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, I got But Birdie likes Cleveland doesn't like Baltimore.

430
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 7: Go back and look at that Week two box score.

431
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 7: Even though Baltimore won by twenty four, Cleveland actually won

432
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 7: the stats to some crazy turnovers, etc. So Baltimore's overvalued,

433
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 7: Cleveland is undervalued.

434
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: Good point, excellent point.

435
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: All right, another team, another game featuring a team I'm

436
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 2: very high on also getting points at home, the Tampa

437
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield catching three and a half

438
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 2: at home. Now the Bucks are undefeated, They're not overwhelming

439
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 2: anybody three wins by a total of six points. Meanwhile,

440
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 2: the Eagles eighteen point comeback versus the Rams last week

441
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: their largest in thirty seven years. I don't think that's

442
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: a positive. I feel it's a negative. I feel like

443
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay wins this game. Outright, your thoughts.

444
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 7: It's the Phony Bowl, two teams that have three and

445
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 7: zero records, but both teams could have lost not just one,

446
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 7: but several games. Someone mentioned, I think it was Bill Simmons, said, oh,

447
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 7: you know, the Eagles, maybe they were a little fortunate

448
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 7: last week. Yet think so. I'm still with a Ram

449
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 7: hangover from last week. I'll tell you this with Tampa.

450
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 7: Tampa had won the deepest receiver corps in the country

451
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 7: to start the year, and now look what's happened. Then

452
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 7: when Mike Evans is out, God, when comes back, he's

453
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 7: not going to be one hundred percent. Their rookie wide

454
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 7: receiver has been great, but he's been nicked up. Their

455
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 7: fourth wide receivers still hurt. So they've gotten from a

456
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,719
Speaker 7: point of strength to an absolute point of weakness. Baker

457
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 7: is doing it with smoke and mirrors, Bernie, Someone's going

458
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 7: to win this game. Whoever wins we're going to bet

459
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 7: against next week.

460
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: You mentioned the Rams game and it's a bad memory.

461
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: I was sorry to crack Man yesterday. And so you know,

462
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: you're you're you're covering by a point. We've been better off.

463
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: They just missed the field goal, right, But the guy's

464
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: got a blucket. Why does you run for a testdown?

465
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: Why doesn't it you just fall down like a good

466
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 2: American citizen and win the damn game.

467
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 3: But what you trying to do here.

468
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: You talk about it is that maybe the worst beat

469
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: you've seen in recent times.

470
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 7: Well, going back to the Belk Bowl. You can look that.

471
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I know I know about that. That was

472
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: back in like twenty thirteen or twenty four. But fez,

473
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: the Rams were always they're leading like twenty three to

474
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 2: six at some point whatever.

475
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 7: You never you know, there was the Bahamas Bowl where

476
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 7: Western Michigan I believe, trail like forty nine to thirteen

477
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 7: and and wound up covering or vice versa. So if

478
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 7: he gets right up there though, way why I can't.

479
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: Deal with comebacks. But the way that happened at the

480
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: end like that, my goodness.

481
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 7: Thanks for bringing that up. That was my one weak

482
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 7: that last week.

483
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, but you're not alone. You're in good company

484
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: the books. The book's got new chandeliers this week because

485
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: of that game. Maybe it was a public dog, the

486
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 2: old public dog warning. All right, Cincinnati visits Denver. This

487
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: is sort of a referendum game for both teams because

488
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: the Bengals are coming off their largest loss by thirty

489
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: eight points in franchise history. They're last in the NFL

490
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: in total offense, only averaging two hundred and twenty yards

491
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 2: per game. Meanwhile, the Broncos have scored eight touchdowns and

492
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: only given a four. But yet they have a losing record.

493
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: But they're laying a pretty heavy number on Monday night

494
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 2: eight and a half. Your thoughts on Denver Cincinnati?

495
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, so, since he has a great running back, Chase Brown,

496
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 7: he can't get more than two yards per carry. The

497
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 7: old line is in shamble for the Bengals. I cannot

498
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 7: invest in them, but the spot is so good that

499
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 7: they will off the thirty plus point loss. I would

500
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 7: be remiss not to mention you said this is the

501
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 7: worst loss in Bengal history. One of the greatest wins

502
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 7: in Bengal history. They once beat the Houston Oilers sixty

503
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 7: one to ten. Sam Whites kicked the field goal with

504
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 7: eight seconds to play.

505
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 8: They asked him.

506
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 7: Why he did it. He hated the Oilers. He responded,

507
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 7: I didn't think we had enough time to get the

508
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 7: ball in the end zone.

509
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: It's right, say Munch, who also famously grabbed the microphone

510
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: and said, stop throwing snowballs. This isn't Cleveland at Cincinnati.

511
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: It's right, the great Sam Whites, all right. I don't

512
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 2: know what kind of game this is going to be.

513
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: Sunday night, the pack Green Bay Packers with Michael Parsons

514
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 2: coming home, the homecoming lay in six and a half.

515
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones famously said, this week, I'll recall us winning

516
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl with Michael Parsons. Here's what's interesting, Faiz

517
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 2: about this game, and I couldn't wait to talk to

518
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 2: you about it. Eighty two percent of the bets are

519
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 2: on Green Bay, but fifty seven percent of the bets

520
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 2: a handle, excuse me, are on the Cowboys. And there

521
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 2: were some sevens out there. Would you do you dare

522
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: grab Dallas plus seven?

523
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 9: No?

524
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 7: You know, I bet green Bay right after the Parsons

525
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 7: trade came down, actually laid to it up. But I

526
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 7: still would lean Green Bay miles six and a half.

527
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 7: But here the lesson on this game. On prop bets,

528
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 7: I would bet Parsons to get a sack. And I

529
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 7: think one thing you can do, and if you like

530
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 7: betting on the NBA, this applies to every sport. Burning

531
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 7: If you get a player that is unhappy with how

532
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 7: the organization treat them and he goes to a new organization,

533
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 7: that becomes his game of the year. He hasn't focused.

534
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 7: And so in either the NBA or the NFL, et cetera,

535
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 7: when you have a situation like this, you want to

536
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 7: bet on that player and proposition bets.

537
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: All right, I want to talk about a couple other

538
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: games quickly. Here the Niners three and zhe nine ers

539
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: laying a short number against I think a pretty good

540
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguar team, even though Travis Hunters yet to show

541
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 2: the great stardom He's okay, but he haven't. But the

542
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: Niners surprisingly right. They lead the league in passing yards

543
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 2: per game. They're in every offensive category with the exception

544
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 2: of rushing. They're doing pretty well defensively. Their status are

545
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 2: pretty good. Kind of a short number here, though, Do

546
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: you have a thought on the Niners Jaguar.

547
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 7: You know it's where I make it, but you might

548
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 7: mention Travis Hunter. I've gotta feel Bernie that eventually they're

549
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 7: going to figure this out Jacksonville. They're going to say,

550
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 7: just play defense. It's just too hard in the NFL

551
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 7: right to play both on offense and defense. So I'm

552
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 7: gonna I think when that starts happening, there's going to

553
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 7: be a window opportunity to play him under for pass

554
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 7: reception yards. I think I'm going to do it this week.

555
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 2: All right, let's come home to Vegas here where the

556
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: Raiders host the Chicago Bears. This feels like a coin

557
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 2: flip game. I don't like either team. I realized that

558
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams had a coming out party last week.

559
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 3: Great, you did it once.

560
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: I can't. I just can't buy into the Raiders with

561
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: all the holes they have. Do you even waste your

562
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: time on this game? Or are you seeing something that

563
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: I'm missing?

564
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 7: You're not missing anything because you just told me how

565
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 7: to wager on this game. Whenever there's a game that's

566
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 7: pick him, and you said, I don't really know who

567
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 7: should be favored, right, I will let the odds maker

568
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 7: dictate who I'm going to wager on because who. It's

569
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 7: not that big of a deal zero versus two on

570
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 7: a point spread, But when you're teasing the game and

571
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 7: are getting another six points, it makes all the difference

572
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 7: in the world. Look at Arizona. I know Arizona's not

573
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 7: the game we're talking about. Two weeks ago, Arizona against

574
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 7: San Francisco, both teams were favored throughout the week, very

575
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 7: close game, one point game. Then the next week Arizona

576
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 7: against Seattle, who should be fair, I don't know who

577
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 7: should be favored. Game winds up going to overtime. Here's

578
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 7: the point, it's going to be a really close game.

579
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 7: I would have been perfectly happy teasing the Raiders from

580
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 7: plus one and a half up to plus seven a half.

581
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 7: But now the Raiders are laying one and a half

582
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 7: to two points.

583
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 5: Fine, Now I'll.

584
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 7: Tease the Bears with some other partners, including the Pittsburgh

585
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 7: Steelers in the game that's going to kick off in

586
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 7: six hours.

587
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 3: I thought of that as well.

588
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 2: And would you think about teasing Denver down below a

589
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: field goal? Because Denver is better than they've shown, and

590
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: I think Jake Browning is his services will quarterback. But

591
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 2: you've got to bake that into the cake too. If

592
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow was starting, I think this line would be four,

593
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 2: not eight and a half.

594
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 7: Is that fair three and a half?

595
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 10: Yeah?

596
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 7: Absolutely so.

597
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 11: Yeah.

598
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 7: Denver is a very good teaser homework. Go get Stanford

599
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 7: Wong Sharp Sports Betting. He'll play exactly how to bet

600
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 7: the teaser. There's an entire chapter on teasers. Do not

601
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 7: pay more than six point teaser NFL. The maximum you

602
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 7: can pay, however, is minus one twenty five, and that's

603
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 7: already steep. You really have to get them at minus

604
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 7: one twenty.

605
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: If you can get it. There's usually I see minus

606
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: one thirties out there, So.

607
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 5: Not like they used to have them anymore.

608
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: No more. Yeah, not like it used to be. And

609
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: it was minus one ten. But the books got smart,

610
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: as they always do. Has any final thoughts about NFL

611
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 2: Week four?

612
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, I we get the book. He's mad.

613
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 7: The books don't get smart.

614
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 12: They do.

615
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 7: The books get beats, and then they then they realize

616
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 7: how dumb they were, and they make adjustments. As far

617
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 7: as you normally have a great best bet, et cetera.

618
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 7: I would play the teasers this week. I think it'll

619
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 7: be teasers are doing great, Bernie. I would keep playing

620
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,560

Speaker 2: We've been doing it for just under two years and

661
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 2: it's been terrific because of the callers. So let's set

662
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: the topics up. The first one, I want to talk

663
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: about this new kickoff rule in the NFL. I've been

664
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: meeting to bring it up, and I hate it. I'm

665
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: just telling you my opinion. I hated and if you're

666
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: an Arizona Cardinal fan, you're gonna hate it too, because

667
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: I think it costs you the game on Thursday night.

668
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: And here's why. First of all, you know they implemented

669
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: this for safety. It's stupid. You got to stand. The

670
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 2: players all stand there. The kick still originates from the

671
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 2: thirty five yard line, but the players line up at

672
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: the receiving team's four yard line. The receiving team has

673
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: nine players on a setup zone, and both neither group

674
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: of players can move until the ball hits the ground

675
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: or a player in the landing zone or the end zone,

676
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: or they receive it. And here's where this gets crazy, okay,

677
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: And this is what costs Arizona if you kick off.

678
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,719
Speaker 2: And first of all, the landing zone in quotes is

679
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 2: the area between the goal line and the twenty yard line.

680
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 2: So if you kick off and the ball lands short

681
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 2: of the landing zone, the receiving team takes possession of

682
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 2: throwing forty yard line. That's what happened Thursday night. Arizona

683
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 2: had that game. A normal kickoff. You kick it off,

684
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 2: you cover the kick, you get your ass down the field.

685
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 2: They used to call it the suicide squad. They don't

686
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 2: do this in high school. They don't do this in college.

687
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: The NFL say they're worried about safety, but they want

688
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: eighteen games a season, all right, So I hate it.

689
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: I wanted to go back to the old kickoff. So

690
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: a kick landing short of the landing zone results in

691
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 2: the receiving team taking the possession of throwing forty yard line.

692
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: So if you're the opponent, if you're Seattle, you say, okay, great,

693
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 2: we only got to go twenty five yards. We kick

694
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 2: a field goal. Goodbye. Where they might have covered that

695
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 2: kick and burred Seattle on their own five. A kick

696
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: landing in the landing zone must be returned, but if

697
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 2: a kick lands in the landing zone and bounces into

698
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 2: the end zone, it can be returned or down for

699
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 2: a touch back of the twenty yard line. Then, if

700
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 2: a kick lands in the end zone instead and bounds

701
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 2: or goes out of the back of the end zone.

702
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: Then the team receiving the kickoff gets the ball at

703
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: the thirty five yard line.

704
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 13: So you.

705
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: Know, you'll remember what the old kickoff look like. Suicide

706
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: squad screaming down the field. I want to go back

707
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 2: to that. I don't like it. By the way, fair

708
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 2: catches are prohibitive on kickoffs, and an on side kick

709
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 2: must be declared to the officials. It can be attempted

710
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 2: at any point in the game only if you're trailing.

711
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 2: Only if you're trailing. Now, the new rules aim to

712
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 2: increase kickoff returns and excitement while quote improving player safety. Okay,

713
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 2: there may be a few more kickoff returns. I don't

714
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 2: see the excitement, and I don't know if the player

715
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 2: safety is panning out. So I really want to get

716
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 2: your thoughts on the kickoff. I guess it's not totally due.

717
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 2: We had it a little bit now, but it's new,

718
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: kind of new. If you get my drift, I hate it.

719
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven, nine to nine on Fox number two.

720
00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 3: All right, here we go.

721
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: Bots are coming to Major League Baseball next year. Get

722
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: ready for it.

723
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 3: All right.

724
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 2: It's called the ABS, the Automatic Ball Strike Challenge System.

725
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 2: It was approved a week ago by the Competition Committee

726
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: and every team will get two challenges plus one and

727
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 2: extra innings if they've used their challenges all right, Now,

728
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: what does that mean means if you think it's a

729
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: ball and it was a strike or vice versa, a

730
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 2: hater can challenge it. I'll pay trick can challenge it,

731
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 2: and a catcher can challenge it and believe it. They've

732
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 2: been hashing this out in the minor leagues for years

733
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 2: and they think they've got got it down to a science,

734
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 2: no pun intended. And they're not worried about baseball going

735
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 2: to a slower pace after all the changes they've made

736
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 2: to speed up the pace, because they claim, well, during

737
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: spring training, the average spring training challenge only took thirteen

738
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 2: point eight seconds. So if both teams use all their challenges,

739
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: that's fifty seven seconds per game average. That's going to

740
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 2: link in the game. Well, I don't know any delay

741
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: I hate, but I guess you could live with it.

742
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what it does to pitch for amy,

743
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: which catchers are taught to do. The truth of the

744
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 2: matter is it was challenged a lot in spring training.

745
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 2: And I hate to say it, but half the time

746
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 2: every time a catcher challenged it, the call got overturned

747
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 2: fifty six percent of the time. Every time a pitcher

748
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: challenged it, the call was overturned forty one percent of

749
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: the time. Hitters basically fifty to fifty. Now a catchers

750
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 2: expert at judging the strike zone, they're going to have

751
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: a competitive edge. No more judgment calls because if you

752
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: challenge it, you go to the robot system and the

753
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: fans are going to be able to watch these on

754
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 2: the scoreboard.

755
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 5: So baseball thinks thinks.

756
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 2: This is going to be fan engagement. It's going to

757
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 2: be fun. You can find out the same time as

758
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 2: the players, was a striker a ball? What do the

759
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: umpires think about this? Well, they knew it was coming. Okay.

760
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 2: Umpiring is improving because umpires are trained with the help

761
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: of technology, but they want to get it right. Most

762
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 2: of the time they do, and it's just one of

763
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 2: those situations where every time, again on average, yumps got

764
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 2: it right every time it was challenged forty eight percent

765
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 2: of the time, which means they got it wrong about

766
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 2: half the time. So if your help bat, I'm everything

767
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 2: being perfect, well, then I guess you'll like the robot

768
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: ABS system. So for the first time, and what one

769
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: hundred and forty nine years. The umpire is no longer

770
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 2: the judge, jury and executioner when it comes to balls

771
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 2: and strikes. They're no longer the final word. The ABS

772
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: challenge system is here. It's coming. It's been done in

773
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 2: the minor leagues. It was done in spring training. Get

774
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 2: used to it. It's inevitable. They think it's a good

775
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 2: thing for baseball. It's been tested in spring training and

776
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 2: it's been done in the minors. I don't like it. Again,

777
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 2: maybe you do. So you got the new NFL kickoff rule,

778
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 2: which I hate. I explained how I think it costs

779
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 2: Arizona gain. I like it. When you blast the ball,

780
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 2: you make them return it, you try to bury them.

781
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: You can cover these kicks, the balls in the air

782
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: and they're all standing around. It just dands counterintuitive to

783
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 2: anybody who's ever worn a football uniform. Number two robot

784
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 2: umps abs the challenge. Okay, it's here. Do you like it?

785
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 2: And I just explain how it's going to work, and

786
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 2: they say, you know, each team is going to get

787
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 2: two challenges and then one each extra innings. And the

788
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: challenges in spring training only took fourteen seconds.

789
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 3: If that continues.

790
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: That means, okay, still waiting around an extra fourteen seconds,

791
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 2: but if it's four times a game, it's going to

792
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: only link in the game less than a minute. So

793
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 2: just saying, okay, fans, we can handle that right. Sip

794
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 2: on your beer. The third topic, we had something interesting

795
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: happen when cal Raley hit his sixtyth home run the

796
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 2: other day. You know, if you've ever been to a

797
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 2: ball game and a file ball flies into the stands,

798
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 2: people rush around and clankheads and they look like a

799
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 2: bunch of whirling dervishes over a stupid baseball. They want

800
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 2: that ball, but imagine a signature ball like Mark McGuire's

801
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 2: home run ball or Barry Bond whatever. The fan who

802
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 2: caught cal Raley's sixtieth home run ball last Wednesday night

803
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 2: pulled an incredibly classy move after doing so, all right,

804
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 2: and this is a big this is a ball because

805
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 2: Riley became just a seventh player in history to hit

806
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: sixty home runs, first ever catcher to do it, and

807
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 2: the first ever switch hitter to do it. Meanwhile, the

808
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: fan reached over and handed it to a young child. Amazing.

809
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: He got a standing loud ovation. Have you ever caught

810
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 2: a ball. Would you give a signature ball like that

811
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 2: to somebody or would you drive a hard bargain? We

812
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: saw what happen with the O Tani home run ball

813
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 2: a couple years ago. That turned into a mess. So

814
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 2: there you have it. Those are your midnight hour topics

815
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 2: eight seven, seven, nine to nine on Fox.

Speaker 2: half a million dollars.

837
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,400

843
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: the Bernie Fraddle Show. What have you got for us?

844
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 11: Good morning, Bernie?

845
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 5: How are you doing well?

846
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 2: Thank you?

847
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 11: Hey. I'm going to be uncontroversial on your first two issues.

848
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 11: I'm dinner with you. On the uh the football issue,

849
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 11: the kicking issue, I would go back to the old method,

850
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 11: and same with the second issue. It's the third issue

851
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 11: that I have that it touches my heart and it

852
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 11: harkens back to just an older time and what I

853
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 11: guess I'd like to think a little more sentimental and

854
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 11: compassionate time. The clouds are so often trying to rip

855
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 11: balls away from children, and so this really is the

856
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 11: kind of thing that you live for, and the whole

857
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 11: sportsmanship and the way the game should be and the

858
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 11: way people should be. More often, my issue is that

859
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 11: I'm ready to drown myself over Lincoln Riley.

860
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: I just can't bear You're a USC guy, You're your backer, right.

861
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 11: I'm a USC guys.

862
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 2: I don't believe you, man, Jesus go ahead.

863
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 11: I can't bear this guy's he reminds me of the

864
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 11: guy's name slips my mind, but he was at one

865
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 11: time uh Houston Rockets and and was with the Lakers

866
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 11: for a while, but him and his brother just were offense, offense, offense,

867
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 11: and got nothing of defense that I can't call the guy's.

868
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 2: Name thanks to my producer, Mike D'Antoni producer credit.

869
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 11: So you know, I'm aware of Riley since Oklahoma, and

870
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 11: he brought nothing of defense then and just almost you know,

871
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 11: trying to boat race everybody. And he was fairly good

872
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,479
Speaker 11: at that. But I don't know whether he's as good

873
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 11: at the USC. And USC has just lost so much

874
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 11: pret seeds over all of their eras. They've had some

875
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 11: down times, but I have no idea how to how

876
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 11: to bring them back. I don't know who could bring them.

877
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 2: It's all about recruiting Steve and getting all three phases.

878
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call, thanks so much. On's here for

879
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 2: me again. I would just say this, what hurts now

880
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 2: most se fans is that there were genuine expectations. Didn't

881
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 2: fooled me. I got to you know, don't tell me,

882
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 2: show me. But but you bring up some excellent points.

883
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: It's all about expectations now. And you still got the

884
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 2: likes of Notre Dame Michigan. I looked at their schedule.

885
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 2: It's it's not easy. Jim in Massachusetts. What are your

886
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 2: thoughts on our topics tonight?

887
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 14: Hey, how you doing?

888
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 13: Bernnie jen Off? The kickoff? I'm with you. I mean,

889
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 13: just to leave the game the way it is. The

890
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 13: more they change it, the more they ruin it. So

891
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 13: I'm with you on the kickoff to keep things simple.

892
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 13: You know, I hate that just looks weird.

893
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 2: The balls in the air and standing around.

894
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 13: I know it's that's stupid. As far as the mechanical

895
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 13: balls are strikes.

896
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 12: You know what, we.

897
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 7: Don't need that.

898
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 13: We got to keep the regular umpires human era. All

899
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 13: that it adds to the game, the drama, all the

900
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 13: different things that happen in the World Series and playoffs

901
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 13: and games throughout the years that are still being talked

902
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 13: about because of the human error factor and stuff like that.

903
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 12: But what happens if the power goes.

904
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 13: Out and they can't get the mechanical balls and starting

905
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 13: thing to keep working.

906
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I like what idea well and the human

907
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 2: factor listen, uh. I played monor League baseball as a catcher.

908
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 2: Other players.

909
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 3: They have different tendencies. They line up differently.

910
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 2: They see somebody obvious see the low pitch better, some

911
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 2: see the away pitch better. Some mumps are fat, some

912
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: mumps are skinny, some are tall or short. I think

913
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 2: you factor that and if you do your homework, but

914
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 2: continue on.

915
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's true. Just two more things on the ball

916
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 13: to the kid. You know what? The world? The world

917
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 13: needs more human kindness.

918
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 2: Love it really loved it.

919
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 13: Things ever happened.

920
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 2: Especially now, it's stay on the line. Especially when you

921
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 2: saw the Karen in Philadelphia four weeks ago. Rip the

922
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: ball from the kid and get that guy's face, and

923
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 2: the guys say, here, take the damn ball.

924
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 3: This is the opposite of that.

925
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 2: I was going to have that as a minute our topic,

926
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 2: because they'd screw it, but continue. I didn't mean to

927
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 2: interrupt you.

928
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 14: No, No, that was good.

929
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 13: That's what the world needs, is human kindness. But I

930
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 13: just want to go off the rails just the last time.

931
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 13: Did you watch the last Detroit.

932
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 3: Game the Tigers?

933
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 13: Yeah, I know, the Lions.

934
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, Hey.

935
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 13: I feel so good for that kid, Hutchinson kid that back.

936
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 3: Yes, if you watch him.

937
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 13: Does he have a metal rod in his leg from

938
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 13: the break?

939
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 3: He won't say, but I believe it's yes.

940
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 2: And when he punched that ball loose from Derrick Henry,

941
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 2: that was like that was like a real feel good

942
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: moment for him.

943
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 13: Right, he has a metal rod and it's like my

944
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 13: broker or leg playing soccer that way and they had

945
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 13: to put in a metal rod. But I watched him.

946
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 13: He has his power rush, he can pivot. I mean,

947
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 13: it didn't look like, you know, there's any problem. And

948
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 13: he like he's twenty four years old, right, twenty three,

949
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 13: twenty four leg?

950
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 2: Yeah?

951
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, God bless him that he's back and he's

952
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 13: you know, and knock on wood that he stays healthy.

953
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 13: Because I felt so good for him because when I

954
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 13: was watching that, I was thinking about my daughter broke

955
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 13: a leg. He's got a rod in there and he's

956
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 13: out there playing and hasn't lost of stuff. I just

957
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 13: you know, thank thank goodness for him.

Speaker 12: Bernie good good.

Speaker 2: Stuff is always him. And of course you remember Jim.

964
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 2: Former Red Sox manager Don Zimmer had a rod plate

965
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 2: in his head and they asked him about it once.

966
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 2: He said he on a good night.

967
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 3: I get the radio station in Pittsburgh.

968
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 2: I love Don Zimmer. Face to looked like a block punt,

Speaker 2: Yeah, Pedro grabbed him by the head, threw him around

974
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 2: his body, took a bad hop and they say that

975
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 2: Pedro called him the next day to apologize.

976
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 12: Ron.

977
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 7: I met him.

978
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 15: He was the nicest man ever. He's head to his

979
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 15: boat and I was heading my buddy's boat.

980
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 14: Took a picture with me.

981
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 15: He was the coolest guy ever. And I could be

982
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 15: the best picture ever. Also, Hey, listen, and I told

983
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 15: you I'm the man to save sports radio. I got

984
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 15: to give you a minute to tell you how I

985
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 15: saved sports radio.

986
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 14: About the box.

987
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 15: Don't know, don't care at all about the classic move

988
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 15: by that guy getting the ball, but I don't think

989
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 15: you know how much that ball was worth. But you

990
00:48:58,880 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 15: know it was a classic.

991
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:01,720
Speaker 3: Listen.

992
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 15: In high school, I was a fast kid on my

993
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 15: football team, but I was one hundred and fifty pounds

994
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,479
Speaker 15: in five to ten. I'm six two to ten now,

995
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 15: and I was a strawy. The coach who wanted me

996
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 15: to return kicks, and I was like shaking my head

997
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 15: like Jerry Seinfel refusing pie because I was scared shit

998
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 15: with the guys running fust speed and hit me. And

999
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 15: I have no problem with the new kickoff thing because

1000
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 15: you can't have guys running full speed and killing each other.

1001
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:29,720
Speaker 14: It's bad.

1002
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 15: And there's still a little bit excitement. And these guys

1003
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 15: are all hitting seventy yard kicks. If they can't land

1004
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 15: it in the in between a little twenty and the

1005
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 15: goal line, I mean, give me.

1006
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 3: A break, That's all right, right, I accept that.

1007
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 2: I accept that ron because kicking is a skilled position,

1008
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: and the kicking the special teams phase can win and

1009
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 2: lose a game, and maybe it's just on that kicker.

1010
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 2: He should be practicing it all day. I appreciate the

1011
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 2: alternative opinion.

1012
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,760
Speaker 5: Anything else, Yeah, so I listen.

1013
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 15: Nineteen eighty eight, I just graduated in Syracuse and I moved.

1014
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 15: I was working for an advertising agent. Think funny thing

1015
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 15: was I knew I was an economics major. So one

1016
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 15: of my accounsels McDonald's New York City, And just before

1017
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 15: I got there, we had bought WFAN a whole bunch

1018
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 15: of radio spots, and they were about to cancel it.

1019
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 15: And in my whole department, eight women and me, and

1020
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 15: I'm like, we can't cancel it. So for like week,

1021
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 15: two weeks, two weeks, I campaign to keep it, and

1022
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 15: I kept the buye with McDonald's. And I'm the one.

1023
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 15: I gotta find that Doug and tell him I saved it,

1024
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 15: because you know the early days of radio station Madduck

1025
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 15: didn't think this last. In two weeks, if I would

1026
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 15: have canceled McDonald's, they would have been done. I saved

1027
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 15: sports radio and you and everybody else the shot told me.

1028
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, appreciate it. Ron, We're still here. Have

1029
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 2: a good evening, Poppy and San Diego.

1030
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 9: What's up, buddy, Heyboddy, I'm just excited, you know, talk

1031
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 9: sports buddy. I'm hopefully you're doing good. And look on

1032
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 9: the first one, man, I just think Roger Goodell, he

1033
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 9: he copied the XFL. You should have just sticked to

1034
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 9: the form. And I don't know why you're a copycat, like, oh,

1035
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 9: it worked on the XFL, Why are you putting it

1036
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 9: on the NFL? Like no, Like these kickers work hard

1037
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 9: for the strengths. And I don't know why I did that,

1038
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 9: but I guess it's a coffeecat league. And then I

1039
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 9: felt not surprised about that. On the second one, on

1040
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 9: the on the baseball, I mean technology, I mean, I guess,

1041
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 9: like I said, copycat league, like the team like it's

1042
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 9: like that is now when you can see the replay

1043
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 9: and everything like that. Yeah, I mean, I guess that'll

1044
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 9: be cool to watch your game engagement. But I mean,

1045
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 9: I guess robbers are taking over, you know with play sports,

1046
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 9: yeah sports, and the and the third one, I guess

1047
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 9: they's the best for last in my opinion. Look, he

1048
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 9: caught the ball and he kept it to the kid,

1049
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 9: which is nice not considered like the turn and fighting

1050
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 9: for it. I think that only happens in like Seattle.

1051
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 9: And then actually he actually met the player and got

1052
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 9: some silver, some a slag from a bat sign and

1053
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,359
Speaker 9: everything like that, which was a nice chester. But if

1054
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 9: you ask me, Bernie, hey, what would I do, I'll

1055
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 9: tell you what I would do. Bernie, I'm at the

1056
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 9: right place, right time, to be honest with you, I

1057
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,240
Speaker 9: got it. I was at the right place that's most

1058
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 9: like a lot of money, where you could buy a house,

1059
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,240
Speaker 9: you could see a doubt pinion, and I would honestly

1060
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 9: hold on to that bar and and and negotiate, or

1061
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 9: if I have to get an agent, if I had

1062
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 9: to hire you, Bernie, I'll hire you and you tell

1063
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 9: me what do you think I should do it? Because

1064
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 9: that ball has a lot of value and you can

1065
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 9: make a lot of money. So that's what I would

1066
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 9: personally have done. I would have hold on to the

1067
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 9: ball and and not not given it away. And I guess,

1068
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 9: uh talking about sports, But tomorrow, I'm just excited for

1069
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 9: the NFL, uh, Bernie, and what you're going to talk

1070
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 9: about it and the games. But my favorite games that

1071
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 9: I'm excited at, Bernie, I guess the Packers against Jerry Jones.

1072
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 9: Well it's like a soapbox, but like is Michael Parson's

1073
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 9: gonna good revenge on Jerry Johnson.

1074
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 2: He's gonna try. He's been talking about.

1075
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 9: It, so I'm really excited about that one. You know,

1076
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 9: I personally think that he'll get RiVax.

1077
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 2: But we'll see what happened, all right, Poppy, and good

1078
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 2: luck to your potters. I think they visit the Cubs

1079
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 2: in the wild card round. Tyler and Seattle joined us next.

1080
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,040

00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 16: So yeah, the NFL has like, out of all pro sports,

1082
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 16: they have.

1083
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:22,720
Speaker 14: The dumbest ideas.

1084
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,760
Speaker 13: So the kickoff is the worst.

1085
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 16: Like it's just ridiculous because I.

1086
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 17: Mean I used to take kickoff and JV I don't care.

1087
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 16: They run as fasts they want.

1088
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 12: I'm trying to score touchdowns.

1089
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:35,959
Speaker 16: So that's always so much fun.

1090
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 2: You know what funny real quickly, I'm sure you remember this,

1091
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 2: Terrell Davis owes his career to covering a kickoff in Japan.

1092
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 2: He was ready to quit the team. They thought they

1093
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,439
Speaker 2: were gonna caught him. He goes rushing down the field

1094
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 2: in an exhibition game and blows the guy up, and

1095
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 2: they said, who is that, And he ended up making

1096
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 2: the team, and I realized it's dangerous. Football inherently is dangerous.

1097
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 2: It's just that if you're not doing it in high school,

1098
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 2: and they're not doing it in college, and it's supposed

1099
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 2: to stop injuries, and it's supposed to create more kickoffs

1100
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 2: and excitement, I've not seen the excitement. I'm seeing people

1101
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 2: standing around. Go ahead, you continue on.

1102
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 16: Yeah, No, they don't want to get lit up. You

1103
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 16: don't call a fair catch right otherwise it's this game on.

1104
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah. You have to be within a certain

1105
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 2: area though, to hold the fair catch right most yeh, yeah,

1106
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 2: I mean if you, if you, if you, if you,

1107
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 2: if you, if you, if you catch it in the

1108
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 2: landing zone, you gotta run. You can't continue on.

1109
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 16: Yeah, you got to buy it.

1110
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 17: So number two with the AI MLD, I mean I

1111
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 17: like it a little bit, but it takes the art

1112
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 17: of framing away from the game.

1113
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 2: That's part of it. That's part of it. Yes, catchers

1114
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 2: learn the frame.

1115
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 3: Yep.

1116
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 17: That's always interesting, you know, you know catchers stealing strikes

1117
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 17: and stuff.

1118
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 16: So I mean you like that when it's your team

1119
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 16: that's getting them.

1120
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 2: Although people will say could you only have two challenges

1121
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 2: a game. You frame as much as you can to

1122
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 2: get away with it, but eventually you figure one or

1123
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 2: two of them are going to get challenged.

1124
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 13: Been doing a super job attack you know, got in

1125
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 13: this season, yep.

1126
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 16: And you know number three on the Cow home.

1127
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 17: I mean, shoot, if the ball's coming to me, the

1128
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 17: balls coming to me, and that's actually.

1129
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 16: Cal's ball, So I'm gonna try to give it back

1130
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 16: to him.

1131
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 12: But I've been to negotiating for like some sweet tickets

1132
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 12: you get.

1133
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, probably would get.

Speaker 16: I'll talk a little man if he's right there, and

1135
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 16: if he's all sad.

1141
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,920

1142
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 17: know Cow's gonna want that, so, I mean, I don't

00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 7: In the MNGE.

Speaker 13: Thank you anyway.

1188
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 8: I never was a Cowboy fan until Jimmy Johnson came

1189
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 8: to town, and my favorite games in the eighties when

1190
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 8: Dwight Clark in Montana putting Nae Flanzy Snake. The next

1191
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 8: best game when the Bears came in in eighty five

1192
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 8: and beat the Cowboys in their studient.

1193
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 12: I remember.

1194
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 8: So I'm not a Cowboys fan, but I'm hoping they

1195
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 8: get stomped tonight. A lot to see it, Nason Wide,

1196
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 8: that's gonna get joy too.

1197
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 2: Well, the the likelihood is it probably about a seventy

1198
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 2: percent chance it's gonna happen, but we'll see yep, go ahead.

1199
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 8: Well, I didn't see the Netflix show. But no, Curry's

1200
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 8: taking all the credit for the.

1201
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 7: The herschel Walker trade.

1202
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 14: So it wasn't a piper.

1203
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 8: Jimmy assistant coaching for jogging, and that's where he got

1204
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 8: the idea. And I guess Jerry sound yeah, you know, yeah,

1205
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 8: I have not.

1206
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 3: My wife and I were going to watch it. We

1207
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 3: just haven't watched it. I don't know.

1208
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 2: I don't dislike Jerry, but you know, he screwed that

1209
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 2: Jimmy Johnson thing up so bad. Charles back in ninety four,

1210
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 2: I gotta believe if they'd kept Jimmy, they'd have won

1211
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:36,959
Speaker 2: at least two or three more Super Bowls.

1212
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 3: They won one with Barry Switzer.

1213
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 18: With Jimmy's players, well, I don't think there was every

1214
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 18: one one with that Jimmy, I agree, he built the

1215
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 18: ground up.

1216
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 2: And and and then Jerry Jones at that banquet, you know,

1217
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 2: the following winner says, oh, fifty guys get to coach

1218
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 2: that team.

1219
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 3: When that got back to Jimmy Johnson is that it's

1220
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 3: not gonna work.

1221
00:58:55,760 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 8: So Charles down here is second Super Bowl giving and

1222
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 8: his coaches were having a little private deal some club

1223
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 8: out there there. Comes to Jarry. You know, I knocked

1224
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 8: out a few drinks and he wanted to join the party,

1225
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 8: and they said, I don't know how they told him,

1226
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 8: but they said, this is our party. And then Jerry

1227
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 8: was ranking somewhere else. He said, I can get one

1228
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 8: hundred and fifty coaches to coach this team.

1229
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah he did.

1230
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 8: I mean there is a business man, you know. That's

1231
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 8: what he did.

1232
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 2: That's why else tonight, Charles, huh anything else tonight?

1233
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 8: Well, that's why I want to tell you. That's why

1234
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 8: I'm not Jerry Johnson the Hall of Time.

1235
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 12: He went into the businessman.

1236
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 8: They were reading negotiating the TV.

1237
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 2: Contracts, you know, just to be fair and maintain my objectivity.

1238
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 2: He's actually quite popular among the NFL owners and he's

1239
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 2: made the money the league a lot of money he

1240
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 2: really has.

1241
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 8: Well that's why thank you in the Hall of Time,

1242
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 8: because he negotiated that contract where they were talking about

1243
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 8: one hundreds of millions and they started talking about baying

1244
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 8: you know from the he you know.

1245
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 2: The men that he got hired and he fired Tom

1246
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 2: Landry and I hate to say, if probably overdue, what

1247
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 2: would land and then when one in fifteen and then yeah,

1248
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's.

1249
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 3: A very complex story.

1250
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 2: It's it's a very complex story.

1251
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 8: Well Hendry right out, no doubt about that.

1252
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 3: No doubt about it. And a good player in the

1253
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 3: NFL as well.

1254
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 2: All right, the Charles, I appreciate you checking in buddy,

1255
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 2: thanks so much and calling each time.

1256
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 3: I love to hear from you again.

1257
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 2: Uh Stephen, Kansas City, what do you got force today?

1258
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 8: Man?

1259
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 2: No?

1260
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 19: Right, all right, all right. I think I think Jerry

1261
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 19: is probably a personal Hall of Famer too. I would

1262
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 19: have to agree with her.

1263
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 13: With our old guy Texas.

1264
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 2: I appreciate Charles Candor. I know. I love it when

1265
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 2: he says I hope cowboys can stomp the whole country.

1266
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 2: I love it when people have strong opinions.

1267
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 3: I really do.

1268
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 2: That's good.

1269
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 19: Oh yeah, okay, Well then then I'm probably your favorite colors.

1270
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 19: Let's just go on on the on the NFL. Roger

1271
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 19: Ganell hasn't done anything right to TV contracts. See what

1272
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 19: he wants to have a Dell in the super Bowl

1273
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 19: instead of or Swift. So I would I would propose

1274
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 19: fixing the kickoff by having like a practice squad, like

1275
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 19: a suicide squad, like twelve guys who are only eligible

1276
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 19: for kickoffs, and then we could reinstate the whole kickoff.

1277
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 19: You know, let it be like the Texas A and

1278
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 19: M twelve man.

1279
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 2: Right, that's a fair comparison.

1280
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, why can't they just go back to the way

1281
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 3: it was.

1282
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 2: The NFL existed for what twelve years under the old kickoff,

1283
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 2: and they make this change steve under the guys of

1284
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 2: players safety and increased excitement.

1285
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 19: Oh, I know, we we got too many fifty million

1286
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 19: dollars contracts. They're never going to go back to getting

1287
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 19: getting guys hurt again.

1288
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 7: Apparently about this about.

1289
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 19: The Major League Baseball, this new fangled computer, you know,

1290
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 19: these guys are going to be cheating. You know they're

1291
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 19: going to be cheating. I mean, they're going to have

1292
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 19: people in the outfield have been oulars. The problem with

1293
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 19: this rule is there's unlimited challenges if you succeed, So

1294
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 19: if you can tip somebody off in the outfield, you

1295
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 19: know there's going to be so many holes with it.

1296
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 19: There's going to be so many people.

1297
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 2: Well, my concerned look the robot. They've been testing this, Okay,

1298
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 2: so it's precise in terms of you see it on TV.

1299
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 5: My concern is theoretically.

1300
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 2: It's only supposed to slow down the game, right, thirteen

1301
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 2: seconds per challenge. That's what it did in spring training.

1302
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 2: But when reality rules around, I don't want any delays

1303
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 2: continue on.

1304
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 19: Well, these guys are the greatest in the world at

1305
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 19: sports and at cheating, so you don't think that somebody

1306
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 19: is going to devise a way to signal to that

1307
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 19: guy for unlimited challenges and win.

1308
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just you only get to you only

1309
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 2: get two for nine innings then and then one of

1310
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 2: my actually right, but.

1311
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 19: If you the way I understood the rule, if you succeed,

1312
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 19: you don't lose your talent, No, you lose your you.

1313
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 2: Get too okay, you get to each that's Iteah, wow.

1314
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 11: Good with that.

1315
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 19: The powerball thing. I grew up in Chicago and we

1316
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 19: threw the pow ball.

1317
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 2: I mean the bleacher bums. Maybe they threw it back, yeah,

1318
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 2: but would you have thrown back through the sixtieth home

1319
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 2: run ball?

1320
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 19: Exactly?

1321
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 8: No one.

1322
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 15: No one was going to keep a ball.

1323
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 13: It was from an.

1324
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 3: Opposing hell man.

1325
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 2: Those people have been hooked up to hutelpol Beers nine

1326
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 2: in the morning.

1327
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 19: And my wild card tonight is is the Rider Cup?

1328
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 19: Is the is? Why don't we have why we're getting

1329
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,959
Speaker 19: We're getting absolutely trounched at the at the Rider Cup.

1330
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 19: Scottie Scheffler is going to play Rory McElroy if you

1331
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 19: get If anyone wants to wants to wager today, now,

1332
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 19: why can't we have six wild card spots or live golfers.

1333
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:54,479
Speaker 19: We're fighting with one hand side tied behind our back.

1334
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 19: I don't know what we're doing. You know, the PGA

1335
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 19: wants to keep it their little their little club. We

1336

Speaker 19: have got to start competing where we're gonna get absolutely

1337
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 19: I mean arring a miracle. We're going down in flames today.

1338
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 19: I would love to see Scotty Clouds crowd Rory, but

1339
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 19: I don't. I don't think it's gonna happen.

1340
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 2: This was a fight there stopped it. This was a

1341
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 2: fight that as always, as always great good stuff. Man,

Speaker 2: enjoy your have a little Kansas City barbecue on Siday.

1343
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 2: Back out to Texas. We're joined by Bryce in Texas.

1344
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 2: Good evening, Good morning, Bryce.

1345
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:31,919
Speaker 13: Good evening.

1346
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 12: It's in the wall.

1347
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 8: I talk to you.

1348
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 2: Thank you, go ahead?

1349
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 3: Yes, what's that? Yes, sir, go ahead, I am thank you.

1350
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 16: Oh well, I was just gonna say, starting off with

1351
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 16: the guy who caught the ball in Seattle, like that's

1352
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,439
Speaker 16: that's a feel good story that I think everybody needs

1353
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:53,439
Speaker 16: to see. I don't mind that. I mean, everybody's talking

1354
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 16: about how you kind of got ripped off, and I

1355
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 16: know that, Oh was it. Jason and Mike were talking

1356
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 16: about how that balls worth like one hundred thousand, and

1357
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 16: all I got was like a T shirt and got

1358
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 16: to meet the player in some seats or whatever. But

1359
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 16: sometimes it's just good to do something or see somebody

1360
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 16: do something, not for anything, I agree.

1361
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 2: Not every human being is worships the dollar. And we

1362
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 2: don't know that guy's financial situation. And you know that's

1363
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 2: what made this his story, because it's because most people

1364
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 2: would not have done that. Continue on.

1365
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 16: The second thing, as far as the NFL kickoff, I'm

1366
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 16: not sure what my thoughts are. It's been six stays

1367
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 16: since I've watched NFL football, so I'm sure the rules

1368
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 16: have changed in the last six days.

1369
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 3: Literally, I do agree with you.

1370
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:39,959
Speaker 16: I wish you would go back to like the early

1371
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 16: two thousands. I think football fans are missing the old

1372
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 16: Dante Hall returns.

1373
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 2: And there's Kansas City Chiefs reference.

1374
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 16: Yeah, oh right, I mean it's just I mean I

1375
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 16: remember watching those and think that that was the most

1376
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 16: exciting playing football is watching a guy run a ball

1377
01:05:56,320 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 16: back after a kickoff returns. And then the last thing.

1378
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 16: As far as the ABS system for baseball, I thought

1379
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 16: the same thing as Class Collars. I thought they got

1380
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 16: to keep their challenge, that they got it right, which

1381
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 16: means it's you could get too wrong and then one.

1382
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 16: But apparently, according to you, there's only two per game.

1383
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 16: Tennett's implemented this exact same thing with Hawkeye. I agree

1384
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 16: with having the two challenges. It was super quick and tennis.

1385
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 13: I think it will be good.

1386
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 2: Here my fear on this, Okay, I need to correct

1387
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 2: myself and thank you for bringing it up. Thank you

1388
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 2: for bringing it up, because I had the rules written down. Apparently,

1389
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 2: a team retains its challenge if they're successful. So I

1390
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 2: was wrong, but I don't want to get hung up

1391
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 2: on that. But thanks for bringing that up. Bright's continue on.

1392
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 16: Well for tennis, it works brilliantly. It was just a

1393
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 16: tip of the fingers and they showed it real quick.

1394
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 16: I don't think there was that much of a delay.

1395
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 16: I think this is going to be about the same

1396
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 16: amount of delay as you're going to have with a

1397
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 16: player drawing out of umpire, because this is all going

1398
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 16: to be done on like a ball.

1399
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 12: Four or strike three.

1400
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 16: I don't see anybody challenging a ball on a two

1401
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 16: to one count.

1402
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 2: Well, it's going to depend who challenges, whether it's the

1403
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 2: hit or the pitcher or the catcher. So you've got

1404
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 2: three and they're only right about half the time, So

1405
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 2: go ahead.

1406
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 16: But my fear with this is that it will end

1407
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 16: up being Tennis moved it to where all games and

1408
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 16: like ATP one, thousands and grandsons are now all hawkey.

1409
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 16: I would not like to see that at all. But

1410
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 16: I do think that, Hey, if you're trying to limit

1411
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 16: the amount of drawling between players and umpires, and you're

1412
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 16: trying to like limit the amount of objections, I don't

1413
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 16: mind this too much. I just went to stay here

1414
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 16: and not progress to where every single ball and strike

1415
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 16: is called moving forward, and I feel like that's where

1416
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 16: we're going to end up in the next five to

1417
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:41,439
Speaker 16: ten years.

1418
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 2: Well, do you bring up an extra point? Thanks for

1419
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 2: checking in. There could be a slippery slope and that's

1420
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 2: in the back of my mind as well. We stay

1421
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 2: in Texas, Greg Joints, Just welcome in, Greg.

1422
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 3: What's going on doing well?

1423
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1424
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 12: Actually, I'm going to try to make this short. The

1425
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 12: football rule, the Arizona Cardinals situation was was bound to happen.

1426
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 12: It's going to happen to somebody, and just got to them. Sure,

1427
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 12: But the biggest downfall that is just the element surprise

1428
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 12: with the on side kick. It's that's a fabric of

1429
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 12: the game and they just wipe that out. You know,

1430
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 12: you start the game with an on side kick, it

1431
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 12: changes the whole common don't you love that?

1432
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 2: And you know what the and the new rule you

1433
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 2: can only do an onside kick if you're trailing.

1434
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 3: You can't do it.

1435
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, it just doesn't make sense. But that's their situation,

1436
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 12: so all let it go at that. On the Major

1437
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 12: League Baseball umpires it really doesn't slow things down that much.

1438
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:49,600
Speaker 12: H I think we're only going to see usage of

1439
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:55,720
Speaker 12: it at late innings or critical games. Whatever. It's just

1440
01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 12: it'll be there for egregious calls. I'm okay with that.

1441
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 12: On the baseball thing, man, I'm sixty six years old.

1442
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 12: I don't I need a baseball like I need a

1443
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 12: football helmet. I'm just I don't need that, and it

1444
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 12: means so much more to the player than it does

1445
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:21,560
Speaker 12: to me. So at my age and even when I

1446
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 12: was younger, I'd be all for get rid of it.

1447
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 12: It doesn't mean anything to you. Maybe it does. Look

1448
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 12: in my baseball I got it, you know, it's just

1449
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 12: not it's not important fair enough. So I just want

1450
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 12: to cover that and get off the air. But I

1451
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:43,639
Speaker 12: appreciate you fielding my call.

1452
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,679

01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:54,640
Speaker 7: My man, Hey, I'm gonna be in your town in November.

1479
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:58,680
Speaker 9: So maybe once we get done with the topics, you

1480
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 9: can drop aw spots where I could take the LaDue.

1481
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 9: It would be much appreciated.

1482
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 20: So I think we're talking to umpires right with these

1483
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:10,879
Speaker 20: Uh what exactly?

1484
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 9: Because I came in late.

1485
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 2: Well, basically, baseball is implementing this ABS system whereby robots

1486
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:20,639
Speaker 2: are going to you know, chart every ball and strike,

1487
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 2: and teams are going to be able to challenge them.

1488
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 2: You're an umpire, or check that a catcher, a pitcher,

1489
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 2: or a hit or can challenge it. And uh and

1490
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:30,640
Speaker 2: and and that's essentially what's happening. The umpire is no

1491
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 2: longer the final word.

1492
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't like it.

1493
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 9: It's baseball is one hundred and fifty years old.

1494
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:38,240
Speaker 7: Uh, it's been doing just.

1495
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 20: Fine without these robots getting involved. The problem is, Burnie,

1496
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 20: We've seen it time and again, not only in the MLB,

1497
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 20: but in the NFL. The originator of Weekly they still

1498
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 20: get too many damn calls wrong. They watch them, they

1499
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,680
Speaker 20: look at them, we all see it, and then they

1500
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 20: still call it wrong. So yeah, I don't need it myself.

1501
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 9: What else are we talking about tonight, Bernie.

1502
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 3: Well, we had the situation this NFL kickoff rule.

1503
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:14,599
Speaker 2: I think I've had enough of where everybody stands around

1504
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,320
Speaker 2: and they could cost the Ears on the Cardinals game.

1505
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 2: I want him to go back to the old kickoff.

1506
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 2: I don't like this as you're putting the landing zone

1507
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 2: and if you don't eat forty yard line, YadA, YadA ya.

1508
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 20: No, absolutely, Bernie, that's another thing with football this time.

1509
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 20: You know, that's part of the backbone of the NFL

1510
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 20: that you and I grew up loving, falling in love

1511
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 20: with those kicks, you know, like when it's a return,

1512
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 20: when you guys got guys like Hamsters, like Hall, like

1513
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 20: the guy from up Baltimore in two thousand, that are

1514
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:48,839
Speaker 20: just threats.

1515
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 9: Every time they touched the ball, whether it's a plunt

1516
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:51,600
Speaker 9: or a.

1517
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 7: Kid, it could flip the game.

1518
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:57,720
Speaker 20: And seeing some of the greatest hits man, I mean,

1519
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 20: I know that's part of the reason why they took

1520
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 20: it out, but they policed it a little better to

1521
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 20: where the blind side shots weren't coming in, the crack.

1522
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 9: Bats and all that.

1523
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:13,679
Speaker 20: But no, man, it's un American having Robot and having

1524
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 20: this barce of a kick off. I mean, come on, right,

1525
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 20: I mean, what the hell with New Rockney and Kacey

1526
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 20: Stangleton scene right now?

1527

01:13:55,840 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 3: And work off of that. Nicko and Maine joins us. Yeah,

1540
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,760
Speaker 3: welcome in, Nick, How you doing? But good?

1541
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 2: Welcome in?

1542
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 15: All right, First of all, it's Nick m I c

1543
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 15: k okay, thank you projecting Nick.

1544
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:13,599
Speaker 19: Yeah, Well, Nick's a guy who'll throw up in your car.

1545
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 15: And I'll tell you about it. I'm not Nick Sol

1546
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 15: but anyway that.

1547
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 5: I have to move all Sorry.

1548
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 21: The kickoff rule I think I think is good and

1549
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 21: I'll tell you why it gives. If you put it

1550
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 21: in the zone and the returner takes it as he

1551
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 21: gets up to that line now, which is thirty yards,

1552
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:43,680
Speaker 21: he can start to see lanes and and and potentially

1553
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 21: take it all away. And you have enough people in

1554
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 21: the NFL return wise who can do that. My question

1555
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 21: now is does it become imperative to have your kicker

1556
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:59,679
Speaker 21: now be your last line of defense and have to tackle.

1557
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 21: And then do you now teach kickers to tackle? Do

1558
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,840
Speaker 21: they become I know the legs are getting bigger and

1559
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 21: stronger in the field goal and and I get.

1560
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 2: All that that actually hasn't been the case. Interestingly enough,

1561
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:15,680
Speaker 2: make you saw that more of the old the old way.

1562
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, you know, I saw one

1563
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 2: of the college kickers today, make make it make a tackle.

1564
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 2: I forget which game it was. It might have been

1565
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 2: the Ohose State game against Washington the kicker, but go ahead,

1566
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 2: so do me now?

1567
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 21: And at the NFL and it's strip away all the

1568
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:39,600
Speaker 21: onion layers is a teaching game. Why aren't you teaching

1569
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 21: kickers to tackle?

1570
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 2: Or well, they don't want them getting hurt. There's a

1571
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 2: specific reason for that, bick. You don't want your kicker

1572
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 2: making physical contact. As a matter of fact, if they're

1573
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 2: on the sideline, you're top to just push them out

1574
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 2: of bounce.

1575
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 15: Go ahead, right, so but still, if the guy's coming,

1576
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 15: you know you have to sacker, you know, as a kicker,

1577
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 15: and you don't want to get hurt. And I give

1578
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 15: all that, do you do you now? Just do the

1579
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 15: away tackle or do you now have to have a

1580
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 15: confident backup picker take a roster spot because of that?

1581
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 15: So thinks I appreciate your take on that.

1582
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 3: All right, thanks a lot, Mick, it is. Thanks for

1583
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:22,959
Speaker 3: checking in, buddy.

1584
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 2: Josh, and New York wraps things up for us tonight

1585
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 2: on the minute hour.

1586
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 3: Welcome in, Josh, thanks.

1587
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 14: For taking my call.

1588
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 22: And I think there's no better place for restaurants and

1589
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 22: deli's and fool places than New York, especially the New

1590
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 22: York City area, even the outskirts of West that's where

1591
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:42,320
Speaker 22: I am. Some great places to eat.

1592
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 2: I mean, tell you, my friend, you're not no argument there.

1593
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 2: I've been to the city a thousand times and I

1594
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 2: still love John's Pizza on Bleaker Street. I stayed. You know,

1595
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 2: I can name them all too. But we have what

1596
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 2: you have, believe it or not, we actually do. And

1597
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 2: I wouldn't you have to live here to know that.

1598
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 2: But but continue on, you need one with our topics.

1599
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 14: Great, all right, we could talk about pizza all night.

1600
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 22: But the thing is Brian dave Ball I call him

1601
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:11,839
Speaker 22: Brian the bonehead. Him and him and him and Seamus.

1602
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 22: I mean they should have been fired like last year

1603
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 22: and now they're gonna put you know, they're gonna put

1604
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 22: Jackson Dart out there. I just hope the offensive line

1605
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 22: is getting a good night's sleep and everything. And let's

1606
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 22: not make this first thought. Let's make a good memorable one,

1607
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:30,840
Speaker 22: because the Giant offensive line is a horror show. Only

1608
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,760
Speaker 22: shamous and and Bonehead would bring in.

1609
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 14: To me, Russell Wilson was watched up.

1610
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:40,720
Speaker 22: Okay, I mean and bringing in Winston, what was that

1611
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 22: ful for the defensive backs to get practiced in in practice?

1612
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 22: You know, the hilltow interceptions and they can get a

1613
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:50,720
Speaker 22: good workout, and they listen, folks that they didn't like

1614
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,160
Speaker 22: Tommy DeBrito, no matter why anybody said they.

1615
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 15: Did not like Tommy Debato.

1616
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 14: That's why they released him.

1617
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 22: You would bring in two guys in their thirties and

1618
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 22: millions of dollars. One guy throws in deceptions. One guy

1619
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 22: throws a ball. Russell Wilson throws the ball up in

1620
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 22: the air.

1621
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1622
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 14: I was just waiting for.

1623
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:08,639
Speaker 11: Yeah, I was waiting.

1624
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 14: I mean, he got away.

1625
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 22: Within the playoffs ten years ago, but still then I

1626
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 22: was waiting for, like a defensive back to punch the

1627
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 22: ball when it was coming down, like send it into

1628
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 22: the up deck or something like these guys by de

1629
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 22: Bow the bonehead. But they got listen, they got beats,

1630
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 22: and Butt had vamboozled. John Mara and Tish, the owners

1631
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 22: of the Giants, they have these guys vamboozled.

1632
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,519
Speaker 14: That's why if you haven't owned it. Who owns the team.

1633
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 22: Obviously inherited from his grandfather, you could get away with

1634
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 22: the guy doesn't no football, you know, safety with House

1635
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 22: Steinn Manner with the Yankees doesn't no baseball. That's why

1636
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 22: he turns it out for cashraight for the last twenty

1637
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 22: five years. And you know people two months ago they

1638
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 22: wanted to fire Aaron Boone for what the.

1639
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 14: Yankees ain't firing. No manager's got years on his contract.

1640
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 14: All is the bottom line, guy. The Yankees did what

1641
01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 14: they were supposed to do.

1642
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:00,760
Speaker 22: For the last month and a half, beat up on

1643
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:01,679
Speaker 22: bad teams.

1644
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 14: That's what they were supposed to do.

1645
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:05,559
Speaker 22: That's the formula to get into the playoffs and then

1646
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 22: helped you get lucky. But last year was a horror show.

1647
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 22: Do you want to know something about the World Series?

1648
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 2: Last year?

1649
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:12,840
Speaker 22: I wanted because I'm a Yankee, fa I wanted the

1650
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 22: Yankees to lead off Judge in bat Soto. Second, I

1651
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 22: had to watch the Dodgers leadoff with Tani in that

1652
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:19,639
Speaker 22: World Series.

1653
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 14: The Dodger runners came in as ty cop. Let's face it.

1654
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:26,680
Speaker 22: Some of those miscues and bad players were caused by

1655
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:30,800
Speaker 22: the defensive players getting anxious because the runners are over

1656
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 22: anxious and regressive Dodgers, I mean judges, fly Boy took

1657
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 22: his eye off the ball.

1658
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 15: Both look, that was brutal.

1659
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,680
Speaker 2: That was brutal, and Josh, forgive me. We're up against it,

1660
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 2: so I have to let you go, but please don't

1661
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 2: be a stranger. And I'm all eyes around the Yankees

1662
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 2: this year. The playoffs start Tuesday, and listen.

1663
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 3: No one's moon more.

1664
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 2: The game was invented in New York, and no one

1665
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 2: has won more World Series championship. And I believe the

1666
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 2: Yanks are twenty nine in counting, so anything sure of that.

1667
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:06,799
Speaker 2: It's a disappointment once again. Thanks to all the callers

1668
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:10,600
Speaker 2: at the mid that hour, excellent. You know, varying viewpoints

1669
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 2: on the ABS system and on the kickoff rule. Mostly

1670
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 2: a lot of people are an agreement, though on the

1671
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 2: gesture by the Mariners fan, all right, we switch gears.

1672
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:21,760
Speaker 2: Coming up Medina Magic, talk a little NBA. It's on

Speaker 3: I want to start with JJ Reddick.

1689
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:17,040

1690
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 2: of Luca and they've taken care of JJ Reddick.

1691
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 3: It feels like it's symbolic.

1692
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 2: And there was a lot of pablems surrounding Lebron and

1693
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:29,599
Speaker 2: Rob Pelinka's comments this week.

1694
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 3: Do you care to comment on any of that?

1695
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, of course, I mean, that's what I'm here for, right. Yeah,

1696
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:38,839
Speaker 10: I was surprised that they announced that they extended JJ Reddick.

1697
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,559
Speaker 10: I know that they were high on how he did

1698
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 10: his first year, even though you know, first round playoffects,

1699
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 10: that they felt like he would continue to just get

1700
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 10: better after being a first year head coach. But it's

1701
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 10: very unconventional to give a coach an extension literally after

1702
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,879
Speaker 10: one season. But Rob Linkas said, Hey, it's their confidence

1703
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:59,160
Speaker 10: and belief in him. They think he's a special coach,

1704
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 10: he'll continue to better. I think it's very much in

1705
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 10: line in symbolic whether you said that they saw Luka

1706
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:08,719
Speaker 10: Doncic to an extension. So this is about the future

1707
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 10: and obviously Lebron James that's a complete unknown, you know,

1708
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:16,600
Speaker 10: for what it's worth. Rob Palinka did say that the

1709
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 10: Lakers would love if Lebron's story would be if he

1710
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 10: retired as a Laker, But that doesn't necessarily mean that

1711
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 10: it's guaranteed that he'll retire as a Laker this season

1712
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 10: or next season, because there's a lot of variables unpack

1713
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:33,640
Speaker 10: that I'm sure you'd want me to expound on here.

1714
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:37,600
Speaker 2: Well, they would love it so much, they decided to

1715
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 2: make them a Laye duck for the first time in

1716
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:39,879
Speaker 2: his supportment.

1717
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:46,680
Speaker 10: Well, I think that in fairness, there's both. I think

1718
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 10: both parties want to have their options open. I mean, obviously,

1719
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 10: if the Lakers were willing to give max money to Lebron,

1720
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 10: he would have accepted a multi year deal. But I

1721
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 10: don't think that anyone can fault him for that because

1722
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 10: they want to have enough to fill ross around Lebron

1723
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 10: and Luca. And you know, even though Lebron is playing

1724
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 10: at all Star caliber level, he's going to turn forty

1725
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 10: one December thirty. At some point the wheels can fall off.

1726
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 10: And so I think where the Lakers are staying as

1727
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 10: they want to see how he plays. They want to

1728
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 10: be able to continue to make moves that puts them

1729
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 10: in championship contention this season in future seasons, if Lebron

1730
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 10: is still playing at a high level, they would still

1731
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 10: love to have him back. They would try to see,

1732
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:33,400
Speaker 10: you know, what number would be appropriate. Look, it's not

1733
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 10: like he either're going to ask him and take the

1734
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 10: minimum or VET or mid levels type money, but you know,

1735
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 10: can he shave off some of that MAX contract. Same

1736
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,720
Speaker 10: thing with Lebron he wants to see if he can

1737
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 10: still play at a high level. He's made it clear

1738
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 10: he has no interest in prolonging his career if he's

1739
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 10: not still playing at all star caliber level. So if

1740
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:59,240
Speaker 10: he's doing that, he wants to see how competitive is

1741
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 10: this team with him and Luca and the supporting cast

1742
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 10: changes they've made, and then go from there. So I

1743
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 10: think it can make for an awkward season, but there's

1744
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 10: I think reasons for both sides why it's best to

1745
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 10: keep these options open.

1746
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm of the belief Lebron will prolong his career for

1747
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 2: a very prolonged, protracted time because that's what Lebron wants

1748
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 2: to do.

1749
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 3: I'm going to get on and off this real quickly.

1750
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 3: I understand.

1751
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:29,759
Speaker 2: There was an informal survey this past week. Twenty teams

1752
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 2: or twenty somebody's too took participation in and one of

1753
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 2: the questions was where will Lebron James be at the

1754
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:40,519
Speaker 2: start of the twenty six twenty seven season, And of

1755
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:45,640
Speaker 2: the twenty votes, seven were Lakers, five retired forward, Cavaliers,

1756
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,640
Speaker 2: two Golden State, one Dallas one Miami. If you had

1757
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,200
Speaker 2: you know, if you were pressed for an answer, what

1758
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,679
Speaker 2: do you think he is the start of next season

1759
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:55,679
Speaker 2: twenty six, twenty seven.

1760
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's that's our question. I don't know where he's

1761
01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:02,960
Speaker 10: going to be next season, but I don't think he's

1762
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 10: going to I think he's going to ride out the

1763
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 10: rest of this season with the Lakers. I don't think

1764
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 10: he's going to request the trade. What I think will

1765
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 10: happen is after the trade deadline happens. I think that's

1766
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:19,599
Speaker 10: when he will announce whether this is his last year

1767
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 10: or not, because at that point it'll be very clear

1768
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 10: if the Lakers are in championship contention. He'll see what

1769
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 10: trade deadline moves happen. If he keeps it open ended

1770
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:34,640
Speaker 10: and still says he doesn't know, that means that he

1771
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 10: will be entertaining the possibility of leaving the Lakers for

1772
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:42,880
Speaker 10: next season. But if I guess, I think that he

1773
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 10: waits till the trade deadline, he decides this is my

1774
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 10: final year, and he'll announce accordingly, and then he'll get

1775
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:51,679
Speaker 10: a little bit of a farewell tour treatment while still

1776
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,760
Speaker 10: having a chance, not as favorites, but still to be

1777
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:58,560
Speaker 10: on a viable respective playoff team that could make a

1778
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 10: case to make it the bush.

1779
01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, the farewell tour is the operative word here.

1780
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 2: That's why I think he's going to give plenty of

1781
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 2: notice and he'll announce it to as many people as

1782
01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:12,640
Speaker 2: he can find, find ways to wedge his way and photobomb,

1783
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 2: do anything he can. He's gonna want a full year

1784
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:18,559
Speaker 2: of a farewell tour, just like Jabbar Head or d Wade.

1785
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 2: We'll see. Let's move on.

1786
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:20,720
Speaker 7: Let me ask you this.

1787
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:23,720
Speaker 10: You think he'll make news Monday. I mean, is when

1788
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 10: he announces what's going to happen, if this is his

1789
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 10: final year or.

1790
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 2: Not, whatever Lebron. If Lebron gets before a microphone Monday

1791
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 2: and says it's going to be eighty and Sonny, I'm

1792
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 2: going to buy three top coats, it doesn't matter what

1793
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 2: he says. And I mean, so I want to move

1794
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 2: on because you've got some good other topics and we'll

1795
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 2: have plenty of Lebron and Bronni stuff throughout the year.

1796
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 2: You brought up some good stuff and your reprotage on

1797
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:49,560
Speaker 2: Steph Curry and what's interesting. Mark is part of this

1798
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 2: twenty participant survey which I don't know who it was,

1799
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:56,680
Speaker 2: various teams and writers with.

1800
01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 10: Different coaches, executives and scouts. I think about twenty of

1801
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 10: them total.

1802
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:01,640
Speaker 12: You got it.

1803
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 2: They still were fairly well unanimous that Steph Curry, even

1804
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 2: at his age, is still the best American player in

1805
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:14,439
Speaker 2: the NBA. Your thoughts on Steph Curry and your thoughts

1806
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 2: and your repertise you can share with us.

1807
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:19,599
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, he's still playing a high level what's

1808
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 10: fast things When he talked to the Warriors, they've been

1809
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 10: saying that he is at his physical and skill peak.

1810
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 10: But they've been saying that for the last seven years,

1811
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 10: so I'm not saying that he hasn't lost a step.

1812
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:33,920
Speaker 10: He did have a little bit of an injury twenty

1813
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 10: nineteen twenty season with his thumb, but I think it's

1814
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 10: very telling. When I talked to his trainer, Brandon Payne

1815
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,800
Speaker 10: for a piece for RG dot org, he would say

1816
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 10: that he's gotten physically stronger this past offseason and that

1817
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 10: he doesn't want to say surprise because he's to seeing

1818
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,880
Speaker 10: Steph Curry do at all. But what was very encouraging

1819
01:27:52,439 --> 01:27:54,599
Speaker 10: is that he felt like this offseason he got even

1820
01:27:54,720 --> 01:28:00,120
Speaker 10: better with his explosiveness as well as reacting faster with

1821
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:04,439
Speaker 10: decision makings. The ironic part with this is it was

1822
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 10: a huge priority this offseason for Brandon pain and his

1823
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 10: work with Steph Curry to really focus on reading and

1824
01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 10: reacting and not having these set drills. And the thought

1825
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 10: process was, well, if he has a season where he

1826
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:23,880
Speaker 10: loses some athleticism athleticism because he's thirty seven, this can

1827
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:27,640
Speaker 10: offset that. The second part is this is about adapting

1828
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 10: to Jimmy Butler. They had a lot of great chemistry

1829
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:33,559
Speaker 10: after the trade deadline last season. They want to build

1830
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:35,920
Speaker 10: off of that. And building off of that has to

1831
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:37,760
Speaker 10: do with the fact that Steph Curry is going to

1832
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 10: be playing on and off the ball, So it's about

1833
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 10: making those reads in real time very quickly. And so

1834
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 10: you mentioned that that poll that people said that Steph

1835
01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:52,519
Speaker 10: Curry is the best American player. Brandon Payin would agree

1836
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:55,040
Speaker 10: with that, but he did takeption when I was telling

1837
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:57,720
Speaker 10: him that he's not in the running for MVP. He

1838
01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 10: found that comical because of Steph Curry. Right now, I

1839
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:04,600
Speaker 10: think in fairness, guys like Nicole Jokic, Luka, Dodgers, the

1840
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:09,760
Speaker 10: Anas Hototokumpo, they should be, you know, garnering some MVP consideration.

1841
01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:13,120
Speaker 10: But to according to him, he fails like Steph should

1842
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:16,160
Speaker 10: be in that conversation because he hasn't really missed a

1843
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:19,640
Speaker 10: step here from his you know, production standpoint.

1844
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:22,760
Speaker 2: Well, let's not forget say Guilty's on that list too.

1845
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:26,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, they go to the course the raining MVP, so

1846
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 10: good stuff.

1847
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 2: Talking with Mark Medina Medina Magic Are Fox Sports Radio

1848
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:35,560
Speaker 2: NBA guru. All Right, Adam Silver was behind the microphone

1849
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 2: recently and he said something I found interesting. He intimated

1850
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 2: that they're getting ready to create or form some sort

1851
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:48,080
Speaker 2: of NBA branded professional league based in Europe. What can

1852
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:48,880
Speaker 2: you tell us about that?

1853
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:52,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, to be clear here, this is all fluid

1854
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 10: because expansion isn't going to happen just yet. But he

1855
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:00,439
Speaker 10: has been talking about how he wants to have some

1856
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 10: NBA teams in Europe, and whenever that happens, it would

1857
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 10: be part of the whole league. Now, I don't know

1858
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 10: if this is going to happen. I think the very

1859
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:15,920
Speaker 10: low hanging fruit is to have an involvement with euro League,

1860
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:18,519
Speaker 10: to have an NBA stamp on it. But there might

1861
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:23,080
Speaker 10: be some push back from that because the European Basketball

1862
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:26,840
Speaker 10: League is very popular, it has a lot of history there,

1863
01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 10: So we'll wait and see. But the bottom line is

1864
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 10: the NBA is global, they're trying to continue to have

1865
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 10: new revenue streams, and Adam Silver is exploring all opportunities

1866
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 10: with a yeah, I think I.

1867
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 2: Agree that with that a lot. They're taking a page

1868
01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 2: out of the Roger goodot in NFL book and just

1869
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,760
Speaker 2: growing the game internationally, which they've done a pretty darn

1870
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,040
Speaker 2: good job of doing over the years.

1871
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:55,080
Speaker 3: By the way, back to this survey, which is really

1872
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:56,600
Speaker 3: kind of interesting, and the.

1873
01:30:56,640 --> 01:31:03,320
Speaker 2: Most vocal afterward of the participants were unnamed NBA scouts

1874
01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:06,000
Speaker 2: who once said that, you know, Steph Cray may not

1875
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:08,400
Speaker 2: be an MVP candidate, but he's still the guy you

1876
01:31:08,479 --> 01:31:11,160
Speaker 2: fear most on that team, and he could, you know.

1877
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:13,320
Speaker 3: Put the fear of God in you.

1878
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:18,240
Speaker 2: One of the interesting questions was what was the best

1879
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:21,880
Speaker 2: move of the offseason, and the scouts almost unanimously agreed

1880
01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:24,599
Speaker 2: that it was the Rockets trading for Kevin Durant because

1881
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:26,640
Speaker 2: they believed that the deficiency the Rockets had in the

1882
01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 2: playoffs last year was not having a go to guy

1883
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 2: to score when he needed it, and now they have

1884
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:34,839
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant, which I think makes the Rockets legitimate contender.

1885
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 10: Your thoughts, Yeah, I mean Kevin Durant as a walking

1886
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:41,360
Speaker 10: buck as he's still efficient even though you know he's

1887
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:43,880
Speaker 10: not going to win the Ironman Award. Ever, since he

1888
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 10: tore his achilles in twenty nineteen and went on the court,

1889
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:51,040
Speaker 10: his numbers are as productive and efficient as it has

1890
01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:55,240
Speaker 10: been his entire career. Now, the Rockets did experience some

1891
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 10: step back in this past week with learning that Fred

1892
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:00,559
Speaker 10: Van Vliet was going to be out there season because

1893
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:03,120
Speaker 10: of an abl injury. He is a great locker room guy,

1894
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:08,559
Speaker 10: great defender, great playmaker, but it starts with Kevin Durant.

1895
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 10: They do have a lot of good pieces around them

1896
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:13,840
Speaker 10: with Albert Singun, He's not the best center in the

1897
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:18,559
Speaker 10: NBA yet because that owner belongs to Nikole Jokajen. If

1898
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 10: Joe Allenbi can ever get healthy, and that's a whole

1899
01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:26,639
Speaker 10: other conversation, but Albertson gun has become a more developed

1900
01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 10: two way player. Aman Thompson great wing, very athletic, very fast,

1901
01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 10: great perimeter defender. So they are going to be a

1902
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 10: team that can make a deep playoff push, perhaps challenge

1903
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:43,840
Speaker 10: the Oklahoma City's under in the Western Conference finals. And

1904
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,400
Speaker 10: that has to do with Kevin Durant. But we can't

1905
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 10: discount this Freadvy Vleet injury. He is that significant to

1906
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 10: their playoff fortunes because of his veteran locker room leadership,

1907
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 10: his productivity in managing the offense, and the fact that

1908
01:32:57,080 --> 01:32:58,559
Speaker 10: he is a really feisty defender.

1909
01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:02,640
Speaker 2: Things, and they were very much on display when the

1910
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:05,400
Speaker 2: Toronto Raptors, if you can believe it has been six

1911
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:08,960
Speaker 2: years now since they won that championship back in twenty nineteen.

1912
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:13,120
Speaker 2: But one of the other moves of the offseason that

1913
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:17,160
Speaker 2: was lauded among these scouts was a Magic trading for

1914
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:20,160
Speaker 2: Desmond Ban. Now you talk to Desmond Bean, who believes

1915
01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 2: the Orlando Magic are legit contender.

1916
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:24,080
Speaker 3: Now, I don't know that I feel that, but it

1917
01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:25,599
Speaker 3: seems like it's wide open.

1918
01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:26,200
Speaker 2: In the East this year.

1919
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:30,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, Desmond Bin was talking to me, you know, for

1920
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:33,080
Speaker 10: a sports Kida interview, and he was saying that, look,

1921
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:36,320
Speaker 10: when you look at the roster top to bottom, whether

1922
01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:39,640
Speaker 10: it's Powell, Ben Caro and Jalen Suggs himself, they have

1923
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:42,160
Speaker 10: a lot of versatility. They have a lot of different

1924
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:46,160
Speaker 10: ball handlers. You've thrown the Wagner brothers. Those are great

1925
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 10: scoring threats.

1926
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:47,320
Speaker 8: You know.

1927
01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 10: Franz most especially as a point guard, but they have

1928
01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:54,680
Speaker 10: a lot of different options on how fast of a

1929
01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:58,080
Speaker 10: pace they play at. Who runs the offense. Desmond Ban

1930
01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 10: himself is a huge addition because he's a great defender,

1931
01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:04,479
Speaker 10: gray locker room guy. He's a very consistent three point shooter,

1932
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:07,800
Speaker 10: and that is something that the Magic was lacking last season.

1933
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 10: They do have some good shooters on paper, but they

1934
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:15,200
Speaker 10: were inconsistent. So whether or not those guys improve those numbers,

1935
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:18,560
Speaker 10: they always have Desmond Ban, who is very steady and

1936
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:23,160
Speaker 10: he rides the shooting streaks of the occasional slumps with

1937
01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:26,840
Speaker 10: a pretty steady attitude about it. And he's a guy

1938
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 10: that puts in the work. He's very methodical with how

1939
01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:33,479
Speaker 10: he shoots, with you know, being very intentional with his

1940
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 10: drills and replicating game situations where he's a playmaker. He's

1941
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:41,640
Speaker 10: catching off you know, catching off the balance as an

1942
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 10: off ball shooter. So he is going to be a

1943
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:48,519
Speaker 10: huge addition. Now does that mean they're a championship contending team?

1944
01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 10: You know, I would still put the edge two teams

1945
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:54,559
Speaker 10: like the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York and next

1946
01:34:54,680 --> 01:34:58,160
Speaker 10: to look the Indiana Pacers, Boston Celtics. They have notable

1947
01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 10: injuries with Jason Tate with the Celtics, with Tyres Halburn

1948
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 10: with the Pacers, that the East could be wide open.

1949
01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:09,320
Speaker 10: Now des in Vain didn't really count that as a factor.

1950
01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:11,639
Speaker 10: It's more about himself and the rest of the team.

1951
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:14,599
Speaker 10: But you know, they are a team that has shown

1952
01:35:14,640 --> 01:35:16,840
Speaker 10: that they have a lot of depth, and they're trying

1953
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:18,880
Speaker 10: to be a team that's not just a good playoff team,

1954
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:21,040
Speaker 10: but can actually make a deep push. And at this

1955
01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 10: point everything was pretty possible.

1956
01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 3: Anything's possible.

1957
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:27,720
Speaker 2: I think they'll have an uphill battle climbing over the

1958
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:30,560
Speaker 2: knickser Calves and maybe even the Bucks or Hawks, and

1959
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:34,080
Speaker 2: we shall see the West not so much. And final

1960
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 2: question I have for you mark one of the survey questions,

1961
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:41,360
Speaker 2: in which eighteen of the twenty respondents responded pretty vehemently.

1962
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 2: They believe that the Oklahoma City Thunder and we haven't

1963
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:48,640
Speaker 2: had a repeat champion a long time. But this is

1964
01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 2: a team and only two players over twenty seven years old.

1965
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:53,759
Speaker 2: Now they got a belt under their you know, they

1966
01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:55,840
Speaker 2: got a notch on their belt. Do you expect the

1967
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:57,479
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City Thunder to repeat?

1968
01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:00,960
Speaker 10: I do expect them to repeat. I mean, you can't

1969
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:03,880
Speaker 10: ever discount injuries, and that can very well happen, but

1970
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:08,080
Speaker 10: everyone's in their prime or not even scratching the surface.

1971
01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 10: They have a lot of continuity. You have the reigning MVP.

1972
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:14,759
Speaker 10: I think shag Gilgess. Alexander is the favor to repeat

1973
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 10: there because he's continuing to get better as a score,

1974
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:21,800
Speaker 10: gets the freezer aligned better passer. But think of guys

1975
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:25,479
Speaker 10: like Jowen Williams and Lou Dorr. They've improved his three

1976
01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 10: point shooters. They're great perimeter defenders. Ched Holgern and Isaiah Hartenstein.

1977
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:33,880
Speaker 10: They're a great one to two punch inside. Ched Holmgren's

1978
01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:36,400
Speaker 10: to become one of the best defenders in the league,

1979
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 10: and he's also healthier. So I think that they're just

1980
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:44,479
Speaker 10: getting started here. But the West is very competitive. The

1981
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:47,920
Speaker 10: Denver Nuggets, they have Nikola Yokichi's still in his prime,

1982
01:36:48,040 --> 01:36:52,360
Speaker 10: Jamal Murray's healthy. They added some better depth this season

1983
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:55,360
Speaker 10: with getting Cam Johnson. He's a much better two way

1984
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:58,040
Speaker 10: player than Michael Porter Junior could have ever been. And

1985
01:36:58,360 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 10: you know, they really like David Phiz as a head coach,

1986
01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:03,679
Speaker 10: so they're right back in the mix. We talked about

1987
01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:06,160
Speaker 10: the Houston Rockets. You know, they did hit that down

1988
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 10: with the Van Fleet injury, but everything is up in

1989
01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 10: the air, I think with those three teams. And then

1990
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:13,879
Speaker 10: you know, you look at teams like the Warriors the Lakers.

1991
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 10: They can catch light in a bottle because the Warriors

1992
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:20,280
Speaker 10: of Steph Curry. The Lakers have Luca Dongerson Lebron James.

1993
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 10: But everything has to go right for them. And because

1994
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:27,320
Speaker 10: it's thunder, have so much reinforcement, talent and depth, I

1995
01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:29,120
Speaker 10: think it's going to be tough to knock them all.

1996
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, well said.

1997
01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:34,000
Speaker 2: And not only that, they're the best blend of youth

1998
01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:36,040
Speaker 2: and experience I've seen in the NBA in a long

1999
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:37,560
Speaker 2: time and maturity.

2000
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:39,080
Speaker 3: And they did it last year.

2001
01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:41,200
Speaker 2: Frankly, if you go back and look at it revisionally,

2002
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:44,720
Speaker 2: they did it in such convincing fashion. You know, I

2003
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:48,280
Speaker 2: mean they really, they really, they got they matched teams

2004
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 2: under their foot.

2005
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:52,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, we got to keep in mind they

2006
01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:55,559
Speaker 10: weren't challenged in the NBA playoffs and the Nuggets challenged

2007
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:59,479
Speaker 10: them seven games. Same thing with the Pacers. And you

2008
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:03,200
Speaker 10: know in Game seven, Tyres albert Or injured of achilles.

2009
01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:07,479
Speaker 10: He was dealing with injuries during this series earlier so

2010
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:10,559
Speaker 10: it's not like they're invincible. But I think the good

2011
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:13,360
Speaker 10: thing is is that they're continuing to get better. They

2012
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:16,920
Speaker 10: have the continuity, they have the youth. You know, Chun

2013
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:19,800
Speaker 10: Holmgren is probably the only player that you wonder, okay,

2014
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 10: can he stay healthy on a consistent basis. Everyone else

2015
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:26,479
Speaker 10: is pretty durable. They're well coached, So I don't think

2016
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 10: it's the same kind of conversation we had when Kevin

2017
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:32,240
Speaker 10: Durant was with the Golden State Warriors, and you felt

2018
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 10: like it's inevitable the words you're going to win the championship.

2019
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:38,280
Speaker 10: But they are the heavy favorite, and while there are

2020
01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 10: some outside contenders here, they don't have the same kind

2021
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:45,080
Speaker 10: of depth and talent and continuity at the thunderheav And.

2022
01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:47,959
Speaker 2: We'll never know what happened, what happened if Tyree Salabert

2023
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,040
Speaker 2: hadn't got hurt in Game seven. But I just felt like,

2024
01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:53,320
Speaker 2: when you break down the game in bite sized pieces,

2025
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:56,080
Speaker 2: whenever they needed to get a stop man, they got it.

2026
01:38:56,120 --> 01:38:57,720
Speaker 2: Whenever they need to need a rebound, they got it.

2027
01:38:57,720 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 2: When they needed to get a bucket, they got it.

2028
01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:02,840
Speaker 2: They were just so well buttoned up in situational basketball.

2029
01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 3: That's the thing I.

2030
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:06,560
Speaker 10: Notice most Yeah, that's a very good point. You know,

2031
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:09,080
Speaker 10: even if a lot of Pacer fans will say, oh,

2032
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:12,080
Speaker 10: if Tyres Halburn was healthy, a little bit different a

2033
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:14,920
Speaker 10: you know, that's not the reality of sports. No one

2034
01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:18,000
Speaker 10: is ever fully healthy, especially in the playoffs. But number two,

2035
01:39:18,280 --> 01:39:21,000
Speaker 10: that point that you made that the Thunder always found

2036
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 10: a way to win. That was one of their biggest

2037
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:25,720
Speaker 10: calling cards that even in the regular even though in

2038
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:29,280
Speaker 10: the regular season they weren't necessarily challenged because they were

2039
01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:33,120
Speaker 10: so dominant in the playoffs, they came through in the clutch.

2040
01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:38,519
Speaker 10: They made defensive stops, they played well as a team,

2041
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:42,760
Speaker 10: they kept the composure, and Shay Gilgess Alexander always made

2042
01:39:42,920 --> 01:39:44,559
Speaker 10: clutch plays when it mattered.

2043
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:46,719
Speaker 7: So that those are really good.

2044
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:49,600
Speaker 10: Ingredients that you need in a championship team how to

2045
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:51,400
Speaker 10: win close games.

2046
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:55,000
Speaker 2: Mark, good stuff. Look forward to next week. Teams will

2047

Speaker 2: already be in camp and we'll even have an exhibition game.

01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:58,040
Speaker 2: We'll see then, Buddy.

2049
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:01,000
Speaker 10: Yep, and I'll share my observation as well.

2071
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:07,240
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio app. We had

2072
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:09,280
Speaker 2: a caller earlier I think was Josh from New York.

2073
01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:13,599
Speaker 2: His comments on Russell Wilson we're really that far off.

2074
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 2: I mean, is he was just benched after knowing three

2075
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:22,280
Speaker 2: start and now the call of fame debate is there.

2076
01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:25,360
Speaker 2: He's been in to the Super Bowls and Runland one,

2077
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:28,920
Speaker 2: and you know, his first half of his career is

2078
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:32,960
Speaker 2: pretty good. His last day games not so much. Oh

2079
01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:36,839
Speaker 2: to eight in his last eight starts, his completion percentage

2080
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 2: right around sixty one percent, passing only two hundred and

2081
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:44,080
Speaker 2: eighteen yards per game in this man's NFL. They ain't

2082
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:47,080
Speaker 2: gonna cut it. That's that's kind of like Penn State

2083
01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:50,439
Speaker 2: against the top ten opponent. Don't cut it. His passer

2084
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:56,519
Speaker 2: rating only eighty four point six. So perhaps the benching

2085
01:41:56,680 --> 01:42:00,959
Speaker 2: of Russell Wilson and the criticism of Russell Wilson is warranted.

2086
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 2: I mean, he had the four h and fifty yard game,

2087
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:08,439
Speaker 2: but he throws these goofy lollipop hierarching moon balls, as

2088
01:42:08,479 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 2: they say, and sometimes they land and sometimes they don't.

2089
01:42:13,600 --> 01:42:15,479
Speaker 2: And you know what, we're gonna analyze some quarterbacks a

2090
01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:17,200
Speaker 2: little more later on the show. I want to talk

2091
01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:19,920
Speaker 2: about Kayleb Williams and his record on the road. They're

2092
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:23,519
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. In about twelve hours. They kick

2093
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:29,120
Speaker 2: off and Lamar Jackson visits Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes

2094
01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:32,680
Speaker 2: and this has been very one sided, especially when you've

2095
01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:35,120
Speaker 2: got quarterback versus quarterback.

2096
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:38,040
Speaker 3: We'll get to that in a bit.

2097
01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:42,639
Speaker 2: It's time. Most folks love to play fantasy football. It's

2098
01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:48,400
Speaker 2: big business in this world. That's why we feature every time,

2099
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:52,920
Speaker 2: at every week, excuse me, at this time, Fantasy Finals.

2100
01:42:54,680 --> 01:43:00,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy Files with Brandon Deutsch, your go to fantasy football segment.

2101
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:03,640
Speaker 11: Got one God when Welcome to.

2102
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:05,679
Speaker 5: The Fantasy Files with Brandon Deutsch.

2103
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:08,479
Speaker 6: And we're gonna go into some sid star suggestions as

2104
01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:11,360
Speaker 6: always today, and we're gonna start with a wide receiver

2105
01:43:11,560 --> 01:43:13,560
Speaker 6: that we've been high on for a long time that

2106
01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:15,280
Speaker 6: I've told you to start the last three weeks. And

2107
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 6: no it's not Tedro McMillan, even though I love Tedro McMillan.

2108
01:43:18,360 --> 01:43:20,439
Speaker 6: He's going up against Christian Gonzalez this week. There could

2109
01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:23,400
Speaker 6: be some trouble for him. Gonzo hasn't been healthy all year,

2110
01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:25,760
Speaker 6: but should be healthy, and he is healthy and he

2111
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:29,520
Speaker 6: should lock up Ted at least half the game regardless.

2112
01:43:29,680 --> 01:43:33,160
Speaker 6: It is Ricky Piersol. Ricky Piersoll against Jacksonville. Juwan Jennings

2113
01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:35,400
Speaker 6: is still questionable, so is Piersoll, But it sounded like

2114
01:43:35,479 --> 01:43:37,800
Speaker 6: Kyle Shanahan was alluding to the fact that he's more

2115
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:41,120
Speaker 6: confident that Piersoll will play than Jennings. Now they can

2116
01:43:41,160 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 6: both play. I don't think it's gonna matter because we

2117
01:43:43,160 --> 01:43:47,400
Speaker 6: saw in Seattle Week one how much Brock looked for

2118
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,679
Speaker 6: Ricky Piersoll downfield. I mean, he that is his security

2119
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:54,200
Speaker 6: blanket without Kittle, It's him and McCaffrey are the two

2120
01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:56,840
Speaker 6: guys in the passing game that Brock's gonna look for

2121
01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:59,280
Speaker 6: and sins against the Jacksonville defense that's pretty good. Actually,

2122
01:43:59,360 --> 01:44:02,080
Speaker 6: the secondary been pretty good this season. The D line

2123
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:06,320
Speaker 6: obviously has some great players with Josh Heinz Allen, Trayvon Walker,

2124
01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:09,400
Speaker 6: you know you got other guys. You got a Lua

2125
01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:12,439
Speaker 6: Kan the linebacker there. I mean, they got guys right,

2126
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:14,920
Speaker 6: So it's not an easy matchup by any means. But

2127
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:16,280
Speaker 6: at the end of the day, this is still a

2128
01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:18,320
Speaker 6: guy who had eight catches for one hundred and eighteen

2129
01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:21,560
Speaker 6: yards last week. You gotta go off of production in

2130
01:44:21,640 --> 01:44:24,160
Speaker 6: target share, and he has both. If we're speaking of

2131
01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 6: target share, I want to go to a guy that's

2132
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 6: actually leading the NFL and targets, and no, it's not

2133
01:44:29,640 --> 01:44:33,599
Speaker 6: Ricky Piersoll, it's not Jackson Smith and Jigba. It's Chris Olave.

2134
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:37,920
Speaker 6: Thirty seven targets, leads the league through three weeks. Three games.

2135
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:40,400
Speaker 6: This guy has been unreal and now he hasn't gotten

2136
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:41,640
Speaker 6: the touchdown yet, but he's a lot of it. In

2137
01:44:41,720 --> 01:44:43,760
Speaker 6: start against the Buffalo team that's probably going to wipe

2138
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:45,280
Speaker 6: the floor with them, meaning they're going to be down

2139
01:44:45,600 --> 01:44:48,000
Speaker 6: and they're going to be passing the football. Highest target

2140
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 6: share in the league at wide receivers Chris o'lave, believe

2141
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 6: it or not. Now he's looking like the christ O

2142
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:53,600
Speaker 6: Labby of a few years ago when he was a

2143
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:55,519
Speaker 6: second round pick in fantasy. So if he took him

2144
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:58,080
Speaker 6: in round seven or eight, this is looking like you're

2145
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:00,719
Speaker 6: it's pan dividends right now. I mean, he's that good.

2146
01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:04,680
Speaker 6: In that same game, I'd sit Keon Coleman. You know,

2147
01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:07,120
Speaker 6: he's been so hit or missed. It seems like Khalil

2148
01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:09,439
Speaker 6: Shakiir and daltonkin Cad are the only two guys you

2149
01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:11,679
Speaker 6: can rely upon in that passing game right now. Josh

2150
01:45:11,760 --> 01:45:14,040
Speaker 6: has so many guys that he looks doing. Of course,

2151
01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:15,880
Speaker 6: James Cooks will lock it in start, but we never

2152
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:19,320
Speaker 6: have to talk about him. He's a touchdown every single week.

2153
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 6: But the passing game and the receivers like Josh, uses

2154
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:25,880
Speaker 6: so many different ones. I just don't love the way

2155
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:29,960
Speaker 6: that they're utilized. Keon Coleman against other teams, not naming

2156
01:45:29,960 --> 01:45:32,280
Speaker 6: the Ravens like he doesn't have many fantasy points since

2157
01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:34,880
Speaker 6: that first week. I think he's safe on the bench,

2158
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:37,519
Speaker 6: especially against the New Orleans team where they'll be able

2159
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:40,400
Speaker 6: to run down their run against them. New Orleans does

2160
01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:43,160
Speaker 6: not have a good run defense. Next, I would start JK.

2161
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:46,840
Speaker 6: Dobbins going up against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati's got one

2162
01:45:46,840 --> 01:45:48,639
Speaker 6: of the worst teams in the league when they don't

2163
01:45:48,640 --> 01:45:50,960
Speaker 6: have Joe Burrow playing, and that was evident when they

2164
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:54,240
Speaker 6: lost forty eight to ten against the Minnesota Vikings last week.

2165
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 6: I don't love this game for anybody on Cincinnati side really,

2166
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:02,600
Speaker 6: and Chase Brown might struggle because they'll be down, but

2167
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:05,519
Speaker 6: Denver's one and two. They're gonna want to show that

2168
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:08,320
Speaker 6: they have a dominant defense and that they have a

2169
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:11,360
Speaker 6: good team. I think RJ. Harvey is a sneaky flex option.

2170
01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:13,800
Speaker 6: I think both running backs get ten plus fantasy points

2171
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:16,439
Speaker 6: in this game, so I think they're both solid, solid

2172
01:46:16,520 --> 01:46:18,240
Speaker 6: plays this week. I think this might be an RJ.

2173
01:46:18,400 --> 01:46:21,160
Speaker 6: Harvey breakout and a Dobbins touchdown game. And of course,

2174
01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:23,720
Speaker 6: if Dobbins ever goes down, Harvey becomes an immediate top

2175
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:25,679
Speaker 6: fifteen running back in a week to week basis because

2176
01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:28,000
Speaker 6: Denver is one of the best offensive lines in football.

2177
01:46:28,200 --> 01:46:30,000
Speaker 6: And if we're staying on running backs, I want to

2178
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:31,639
Speaker 6: go to a sit here that a lot of people

2179
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,240
Speaker 6: probably won't be fond of, but it's Javonte Williams going

2180
01:46:34,320 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 6: up against the green Bay Packers, one of the best

2181
01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:39,160
Speaker 6: run defenses in all of football. Javonta Williams hasn't looked

2182
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:42,439
Speaker 6: like himself last week against the Bears. It wasn't that good.

2183
01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:44,800
Speaker 6: He did well the first two weeks, but you got

2184
01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:46,560
Speaker 6: to remember they haven't played a run defense like this

2185
01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:48,920
Speaker 6: quite yet. This is going to be a game where

2186
01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:51,080
Speaker 6: green Bay controls the clock. They've done a good job

2187
01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:53,000
Speaker 6: of doing that. Even against Cleveland it was a thirteen

2188
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:54,719
Speaker 6: to ten game. They did a good job of controlling

2189
01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:56,760
Speaker 6: the clock in that one too. They just played an

2190
01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:59,840
Speaker 6: elite run defense. I think that green Bay win the

2191
01:46:59,840 --> 01:47:02,599
Speaker 6: game they'll be ahead the entire game. I just don't

2192
01:47:02,720 --> 01:47:05,920
Speaker 6: see a ton that Javonte will be able to do

2193
01:47:06,040 --> 01:47:07,800
Speaker 6: unless he catches passes at a high level, which I

2194
01:47:07,840 --> 01:47:09,800
Speaker 6: don't think that's going to happen. This week. We've seen

2195
01:47:09,960 --> 01:47:13,479
Speaker 6: Ferguson get all those chuckdowns from Dak Prescott when they're behind.

2196
01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:18,040
Speaker 6: Not the running back position. Make sure to start Matthew

2197
01:47:18,160 --> 01:47:21,280
Speaker 6: Golden going up against Dallas. Dallas as one of the

2198
01:47:21,439 --> 01:47:24,000
Speaker 6: worst defenses in football, especially in the secondary. I know

2199
01:47:24,040 --> 01:47:25,439
Speaker 6: they got some guys banged up, but this is the

2200
01:47:25,479 --> 01:47:28,760
Speaker 6: Golden breakout game. Tucker Crafts banged up, Jayden Reid's out,

2201
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:31,000
Speaker 6: Jordan Love is going to sling it downfield, so you

2202
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 6: know Golden's going to have a big game. He had

2203
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:35,320
Speaker 6: almost had that seventy yard touch and against Commanders a

2204
01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:37,519
Speaker 6: few weeks ago, but he dropped it. I think this

2205
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:40,519
Speaker 6: is the breakout, Golden game. And I'd also start Shordan

2206
01:47:40,600 --> 01:47:43,680
Speaker 6: Mason against the Pittsburgh Seelers. At Pittsburgh Steelers, they paid

2207
01:47:43,680 --> 01:47:45,000
Speaker 6: a lot of money on that defensive line. They can't

2208
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:46,880
Speaker 6: seem to stop anything. He can't start a park car

2209
01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:49,240
Speaker 6: right now. Jordan Mason one hundred and sixte yards two

2210
01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:52,000
Speaker 6: touchdowns last week. Minnesota should be ahead, but even if

2211
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:54,920
Speaker 6: they're not, I'm confident Mason gets a touchdown or two

2212
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:57,040
Speaker 6: and gets one hundred yards rushing again. And I'd also

2213
01:47:57,120 --> 01:48:00,640
Speaker 6: start Trevion Henderson against the Carolina Panthers from Modern Stevenson,

2214
01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 6: I'd sit in that same game because he's a serial fumbler.

2215
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:06,439
Speaker 6: We thought last year's six fumbles last season, he already

2216
01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:09,040
Speaker 6: has a fumble last week that cost him the game.

2217
01:48:09,120 --> 01:48:11,559
Speaker 6: Pretty much. I would trust Antonio Gibson at this point

2218
01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:14,360
Speaker 6: more than Rimandree Stevenson, which sounds crazy to say, but

2219
01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:17,040
Speaker 6: it's true. I would say Jerry Judy against the Lions.

2220
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:19,160
Speaker 6: I know the Lions give up fantasy points to receivers,

2221
01:48:19,479 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 6: but this Browns team, they haven't been utilizing Jerry Judy.

2222
01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:24,840
Speaker 6: It's been their tight ends a lot of the times,

2223
01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:27,160
Speaker 6: and Cedric Tillman actually has been the wide receiver they've

2224
01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:28,760
Speaker 6: gone to the most so far this season. Now, maybe

2225
01:48:28,840 --> 01:48:31,200
Speaker 6: defenses are keen in on Jerry Judy a little bit

2226
01:48:31,200 --> 01:48:32,920
Speaker 6: because of what he did last season, what a good

2227
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:36,160
Speaker 6: year he had despite Cleveland's lack of success. But I'd

2228
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:40,040
Speaker 6: feel pretty confident sitting Jerry Judy in that game again,

2229
01:48:40,120 --> 01:48:42,080
Speaker 6: it is Brandon Deutsch. You can find me at Brandon

2230
01:48:42,240 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 6: estoutsch on TikTok BSD takes on X back to the

2231
01:48:45,280 --> 01:48:46,320
Speaker 6: Bernie Fratto Show.

2232
01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:47,479
Speaker 5: Appreciate you, guys.

2233
01:48:47,520 --> 01:48:49,479
Speaker 6: Let's win our matchups all.

2234
01:48:49,439 --> 01:48:54,720
Speaker 2: Right, Fantasy finals every Sunday morning, one am Pacific time

2235
01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:58,479
Speaker 2: on The Bernie Fratto Show. Hopefully this helps you win

2236
01:48:58,600 --> 01:49:01,479
Speaker 2: your fantasy league, or at least week to week fantasy.

2237
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:04,360
Speaker 2: I no longer participate in fantasy. It's been years.

2238
01:49:04,400 --> 01:49:04,920
Speaker 3: I did have a.

2239
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:08,680
Speaker 2: Gentleman on Twitter monkey Biz, Doug wanted my opinion, and

2240
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:12,720
Speaker 2: his thoughts are starting Baker Mayfield over Josh Allen. Now,

2241
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 2: normally you would start Josh Allen over Baker Mayfield. He's

2242
01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:19,719
Speaker 2: got a significantly higher ceiling when it comes to fantasy points,

2243
01:49:19,720 --> 01:49:22,320
Speaker 2: and he's a been more consistent in production, and he's

2244
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:24,760
Speaker 2: a lead quarterback. I like Baker Mayfield a lot. He's

2245
01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:27,960
Speaker 2: having a very good season. He's solid, He's facing a

2246
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:31,320
Speaker 2: little tougher defense in Philadelphia. The reason I didn't come

2247
01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:33,800
Speaker 2: up with a specific decision couple things. First of all,

2248
01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:37,639
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is projected by these charts to like eighteen

2249
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:41,559
Speaker 2: point six points in Baker Mayfield at sixteen, So it's negligible, okay,

2250
01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:44,760
Speaker 2: but anything can happen. The one concern, and you don't

2251
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:46,599
Speaker 2: want to overthink it. You don't want to create problems

2252
01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:49,120
Speaker 2: that don't exist yet and try to solve them. But

2253
01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:52,240
Speaker 2: what if Buffalo has a big lead, big big lead,

2254
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:56,920
Speaker 2: they get out and they are stomping the Saints. Right,

2255
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,599
Speaker 2: I'm just saying Alan won't have to do as much.

2256
01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:05,080
Speaker 2: Maybe start running the ball, maybe he you know, even

2257
01:50:05,160 --> 01:50:07,400
Speaker 2: since the series or so if they run up a score,

2258
01:50:07,520 --> 01:50:09,799
Speaker 2: you don't know, it's all speculative. This is the NFL.

2259
01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:12,799
Speaker 3: Saints could go up there and win and given Sunday

2260
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:15,559
Speaker 3: is real, but just a thought. It's a tough one.

2261
01:50:15,640 --> 01:50:19,040
Speaker 2: But you know, I think just as a general rule,

2262
01:50:19,080 --> 01:50:21,720
Speaker 2: you would almost always start Josh Allen and that's over

2263
01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:22,439
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield.

2264
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:25,800
Speaker 3: But that's not slighting may Mayfield. Mayfield can play.

2265
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:31,040
Speaker 2: Alan brings in the running component, the running component, and

2266
01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:35,600
Speaker 2: I know I believe Mayfield has been a little banged up.

2267
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:39,040
Speaker 2: You've got Tristan Wirff back Sunday, so we'll see what happens.

2268
01:50:39,080 --> 01:50:39,680
Speaker 3: Well, there you have it.

2269
01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:45,200
Speaker 2: With fantasy files coming up, we dive into a couple

2270
01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:51,720
Speaker 2: of quarterback tidbits that are pertaining to Sunday's games, which

2271
01:50:51,760 --> 01:50:55,240
Speaker 2: are upon us now just a few hours away. And

2272
01:50:55,400 --> 01:50:58,680
Speaker 2: there are six winless teams. One of the most surprising

2273
01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:02,920
Speaker 2: ones the Houston Texans, who had a win total of

2274
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:04,960
Speaker 2: nine and a half. They're all in three. They're all

2275
01:51:04,960 --> 01:51:07,479
Speaker 2: in three versus a spread. And I'm going to give

2276
01:51:07,479 --> 01:51:12,000
Speaker 2: you a very specific reason why Houston has underachieved so

2277
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:16,800
Speaker 2: badly this year and why that actually may continue. I'm

2278
01:51:16,840 --> 01:51:19,760
Speaker 2: Bernie Friddle or Kenny Lyne from the Las Vegas Fox

2279
01:51:19,800 --> 01:51:22,799
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Studios. Keep it locked right here. You're listening

2280
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 2: to the Bernie Fradle Show on Fox Sports Radio. I

2281
01:51:26,479 --> 01:51:29,400
Speaker 2: were back on the Bernie Frautle Show Fox Sports Radio,

2282
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:35,760
Speaker 2: coming live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Studios.

2283
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:41,840
Speaker 2: We're in about eleven hours and what fifteen minutes the

2284
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:44,400
Speaker 2: Raiders are going to host the Chicago Bears. Now, this

2285
01:51:44,520 --> 01:51:47,200
Speaker 2: feels like a get right game for the Raiders, which

2286
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 2: would jump them to tune in two, partly because Caleb

2287
01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 2: Williams on the road. He's one and eight as a starter,

2288
01:51:55,200 --> 01:51:58,479
Speaker 2: completing about fifty eight percent of his passes, barely throws

2289
01:51:58,520 --> 01:52:01,639
Speaker 2: for two hundred yards of a game, eleven touchdowns, nine

2290
01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:05,639
Speaker 2: interceptions is passer rating is only eighty one. So there's

2291
01:52:05,680 --> 01:52:09,240
Speaker 2: your quarterback stat for Caleb Williams. But it's worse than that.

2292
01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:13,160
Speaker 2: The Chicago's Bears defense is bad. They're ninth worst in

2293
01:52:13,280 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 2: total DVOA. They're bad against the pass, they're bad against

2294
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,880
Speaker 2: the run. They lost their top corner and Jalen Johnson

2295
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:22,800
Speaker 2: to injury this week. Under defensive end Grady Jarrett, it

2296
01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:26,960
Speaker 2: has been ruled out for Somenday's contest. If the Raiders

2297
01:52:27,439 --> 01:52:30,480
Speaker 2: and the Raiders are passing game, it's not exactly stellar.

2298
01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 9: But.

2299
01:52:32,520 --> 01:52:37,240
Speaker 2: It's This seems like a terrible matchup for Chicago. They've

2300
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:41,760
Speaker 2: allowed their opponents to convert in the attempts of over

2301
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:45,000
Speaker 2: twenty yards five of eight. That's the fourth worst completion

2302
01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:48,479
Speaker 2: percentage on deep balls. So listen, I expect the Raiders

2303
01:52:48,560 --> 01:52:52,160
Speaker 2: and if they get the ball, if the Raiders are

2304
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:54,160
Speaker 2: able to move the ball through the air, that's only

2305
01:52:54,200 --> 01:52:56,320
Speaker 2: going to open up running lanes for action genty where

2306
01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:59,240
Speaker 2: they're waiting to break out. So this is a bad

2307
01:52:59,360 --> 01:53:03,400
Speaker 2: matchup for the Bears, even though again I don't exactly

2308
01:53:03,439 --> 01:53:06,800
Speaker 2: see the Raiders is world beaters. If you look at

2309
01:53:06,840 --> 01:53:10,080
Speaker 2: the line, they've got basically a fifty six percent chance

2310
01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:12,360
Speaker 2: of winning. But tell me how the Bears are going

2311
01:53:12,439 --> 01:53:17,439
Speaker 2: to stop brock Bowers and we'll see. But again, you

2312
01:53:17,600 --> 01:53:21,120
Speaker 2: never know, you never know, you never know. Another quarterback

2313
01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 2: commentary is involving the Chiefs and the and the visiting

2314
01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:33,439
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens and people are you know, been going back

2315
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:35,840
Speaker 2: and forth and on who needs to win this game?

2316
01:53:35,880 --> 01:53:39,280
Speaker 2: More For me, it's not close. It's Baltimore. Baltimore is

2317
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:42,680
Speaker 2: never even this group. This iteration of the of the

2318
01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:46,800
Speaker 2: of the Ravens, not the Joe Flacco iteration. I'm talking

2319
01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:50,679
Speaker 2: about the Lamar Jackson hasn't even been to a super Bowl,

2320
01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:52,719
Speaker 2: much less one one, and the Chiefs are a fixture

2321
01:53:52,760 --> 01:53:54,599
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl and they've won three.

2322
01:53:55,720 --> 01:53:58,559
Speaker 3: So look, I think a lot of there's gonna be a.

2323
01:53:58,560 --> 01:54:02,080
Speaker 2: Lot of self impost pressure on Baltimore and to make

2324
01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:06,439
Speaker 2: matters worse head to head including the playoffs. And by

2325
01:54:06,439 --> 01:54:08,000
Speaker 2: the way, the Ravens are two and a half point

2326
01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:12,599
Speaker 2: favorites on the road in Kansas City. But Lamar Jackson

2327
01:54:12,680 --> 01:54:15,599
Speaker 2: is one and five against Patrick Mahomes. He's only completing

2328
01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:18,759
Speaker 2: fifty seven percent of his passes in those matchups versus

2329
01:54:18,840 --> 01:54:23,639
Speaker 2: seventy two percent for Mahomes. They're only managing two hundred

2330
01:54:23,720 --> 01:54:25,920
Speaker 2: ninety five yards a game the Ravens are in those

2331
01:54:26,040 --> 01:54:29,679
Speaker 2: contests against the Chiefs, where the Chiefs are just under

2332
01:54:29,720 --> 01:54:34,160
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty. Every measurable statistic yards per pass,

2333
01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:39,440
Speaker 2: the touchdown to interception ratio. Mahomes fifteen touchdowns, three interceptions,

2334
01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:43,440
Speaker 2: Lamar nine touchdowns, seven interceptions. Mahomes has a sparkling one

2335
01:54:43,480 --> 01:54:49,640
Speaker 2: to fourteen passer rating against Lamar Jackson's eighty passer rating.

2336
01:54:52,400 --> 01:54:53,520
Speaker 3: There's no way I have going.

2337
01:54:53,400 --> 01:54:56,320
Speaker 2: Against the Chiefs at home with underdogs. I haven't done

2338
01:54:56,320 --> 01:54:59,360
Speaker 2: anything yet. It did two and a half. It makes

2339
01:54:59,440 --> 01:55:02,200
Speaker 2: for a nice You can tease the Chiefs up and

2340
01:55:03,280 --> 01:55:05,200
Speaker 2: find another partner as long as you go through the

2341
01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:06,600
Speaker 2: key numbers of three, four, six.

2342
01:55:06,520 --> 01:55:06,880
Speaker 3: And seven.

2343
01:55:07,400 --> 01:55:11,520
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks position. It's the most important position in all of sports,

2344
01:55:11,560 --> 01:55:14,560
Speaker 2: and it's the thinnest position in all of sports. The

2345
01:55:15,200 --> 01:55:21,800
Speaker 2: success ratio among quarterbacks is slight, and I mean even veterans.

2346
01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:24,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you can lose your touch overnight. But I

2347
01:55:24,880 --> 01:55:28,560
Speaker 2: want to talk ever so quickly about right now, heading

2348
01:55:28,600 --> 01:55:32,040
Speaker 2: into Week four, there are six teams who haven't won yet.

2349
01:55:32,560 --> 01:55:36,080
Speaker 2: The Texans, Dolphins, Saints, Giants, and Jets, and the Tennessee

2350
01:55:36,120 --> 01:55:38,800
Speaker 2: Titans combined zero to eighteen, and two of them at

2351
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:41,600
Speaker 2: least are going to be owing four when you wake

2352
01:55:41,680 --> 01:55:44,080
Speaker 2: up Monday morning, because the Texans host the Titans on

2353
01:55:44,280 --> 01:55:48,600
Speaker 2: Sunday and they're both winless, and the Dolphins host the

2354
01:55:48,680 --> 01:55:53,560
Speaker 2: Jets on Monday. And when you look at the preseason totals,

2355
01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:57,240
Speaker 2: some of these aren't really surprising, but when you look

2356
01:55:57,320 --> 01:56:00,880
Speaker 2: like the Houston Texans into it, it was nine and

2357
01:56:00,920 --> 01:56:03,720
Speaker 2: a half, and they're only the second team in twenty

2358
01:56:03,800 --> 01:56:08,080
Speaker 2: six years to start zero to three without allowing more

2359
01:56:08,160 --> 01:56:11,640
Speaker 2: than twenty points in any game. They allowed fourteen to

2360
01:56:11,680 --> 01:56:14,520
Speaker 2: the Rams and lost lost to Tampa Bay by one.

2361
01:56:14,600 --> 01:56:17,680
Speaker 2: Twenty nineteen lost to Jacksonville. But guess what, they're not

2362
01:56:17,800 --> 01:56:21,000
Speaker 2: scoring points. The Texans are the only team that won

2363
01:56:21,040 --> 01:56:23,120
Speaker 2: a playoff game last season and they're starting zer to

2364
01:56:23,200 --> 01:56:26,160
Speaker 2: three and all their ownership talked about was taking the

2365
01:56:26,240 --> 01:56:28,960
Speaker 2: next step. But if you look at the moves that

2366
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:32,080
Speaker 2: Houston made, they don't seem to be helping, at least

2367
01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:35,879
Speaker 2: not yet. All right, they're bringing a new offensive coordinator

2368
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:38,120
Speaker 2: by the name of Nick Kyley. He'd never even been

2369
01:56:38,160 --> 01:56:42,400
Speaker 2: an NFL play caller, much less than offensive coordinator, so

2370
01:56:42,800 --> 01:56:46,840
Speaker 2: he's learning on the job. Remember when Laramie Tunsel had

2371
01:56:46,880 --> 01:56:49,920
Speaker 2: that gas mask on and he was smoking pot the

2372
01:56:50,040 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 2: draft about eight nine years ago. He's turned out to

2373
01:56:51,800 --> 01:56:54,880
Speaker 2: be a hell of an NFL player. They traded him.

2374
01:56:54,880 --> 01:56:57,960
Speaker 2: He was a very good left tackle, and they turned

2375
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:02,320
Speaker 2: over eighty percent of their starting offensive line. So you know,

2376
01:57:03,120 --> 01:57:05,880
Speaker 2: this new offensive line is going to need time to gel.

2377
01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:10,120
Speaker 2: I know, by the way, uh, you know, the receiver

2378
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:14,520
Speaker 2: the receivers that they brought in, Jalen Nolan, Jayde Niggins

2379
01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:16,240
Speaker 2: haven't shown out yet.

2380
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:18,080
Speaker 3: Maybe they're not fully developed.

2381
01:57:18,320 --> 01:57:19,520
Speaker 2: So Houston is.

2382
01:57:21,040 --> 01:57:22,320
Speaker 3: Very challenged on offense.

2383
01:57:22,600 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 2: And they don't have Joe Mixon, so they don't have

2384
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:28,800
Speaker 2: the kind of explosive running back that they've had in

2385
01:57:28,840 --> 01:57:30,560
Speaker 2: the past. All right, but by the way, for what

2386
01:57:30,640 --> 01:57:34,640
Speaker 2: it's worth, Houston's defense offense has never been that's stellar

2387
01:57:34,720 --> 01:57:37,879
Speaker 2: of that league. But when you rank thirtieth on offense,

2388
01:57:39,160 --> 01:57:42,000
Speaker 2: that's going to answer a lot of questions, why you

2389
01:57:42,160 --> 01:57:45,360
Speaker 2: are you know, uh oh and three and two of

2390
01:57:45,400 --> 01:57:47,080
Speaker 2: the you know, two of the three teams they played

2391
01:57:47,600 --> 01:57:50,520
Speaker 2: were playoff teams. Now, the Dolphins had a win total

2392
01:57:50,520 --> 01:57:52,120
Speaker 2: of actually seven and a half. They're one and two

2393
01:57:52,160 --> 01:57:54,440
Speaker 2: against the number, but they're oh and three. They have

2394
01:57:54,600 --> 01:57:58,800
Speaker 2: the opposite problem. The Dolphins ranked thirty second on defense,

2395
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:04,400
Speaker 2: and you know two hasn't been very good. Let's be honest.

2396
01:58:04,440 --> 01:58:05,680
Speaker 3: He's had diminishing.

2397
01:58:05,280 --> 01:58:09,680
Speaker 2: Returns on offense, the fifty three million dollar contract. He's

2398
01:58:09,800 --> 01:58:14,320
Speaker 2: not paid dividends. But the defense has really has really

2399
01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:17,200
Speaker 2: been bad. The Dolphins, their defense has let him down.

2400
01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:20,360
Speaker 2: They played Buffalo and an improved Indie offense. Now maybe

2401
01:58:20,400 --> 01:58:23,400
Speaker 2: that explained some of their regression. But against New England

2402
01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:26,000
Speaker 2: with Drake May in Week two, the Dolphins became the

2403
01:58:26,080 --> 01:58:29,640
Speaker 2: first defense in four years to allow more than twenty

2404
01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:36,360
Speaker 2: five points to a Patriots team. So listen, they lost

2405
01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:39,440
Speaker 2: a lot of bodies. Jalen Ramsey, Jordan Poyer, Jevon Holland,

2406
01:58:39,880 --> 01:58:43,520
Speaker 2: Emmanuel Ogbuck, Klay's Campbell right on down the line, and

2407
01:58:43,600 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 2: they've had other guys not playing because of injury. That's

2408
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:51,200
Speaker 2: a massive amount of turnover. So Dolphins also have an

2409
01:58:51,280 --> 01:58:55,840
Speaker 2: old defense combined by first rounders and young three fifth

2410
01:58:55,960 --> 01:58:59,040
Speaker 2: round choices that are starting. They've got growing paints. The

2411
01:58:59,160 --> 01:59:01,240
Speaker 2: Jets somebody thought Aaron Glenn and Justin Fields.

2412
01:59:01,280 --> 01:59:01,880
Speaker 3: I never bought that.

2413
01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:05,400
Speaker 2: They're twenty fifth on offense and twenty seventh do on defense.

2414
01:59:05,640 --> 01:59:08,280
Speaker 2: They stink on both sides of the ball, even though somehow,

2415
01:59:09,920 --> 01:59:11,920
Speaker 2: you know, they managed to score thirty two points against

2416
01:59:11,920 --> 01:59:14,880
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh while losing in twenty seven against Tampa Bay. Now,

2417
01:59:14,920 --> 01:59:17,040
Speaker 2: the Jets are the only team to face three twenty

2418
01:59:17,080 --> 01:59:20,000
Speaker 2: twenty four playoff teams in the first three weeks, and

2419
01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:22,960
Speaker 2: Tyrod Taylor, I thought, like better they're saying Justin Fields

2420
01:59:23,080 --> 01:59:25,560
Speaker 2: is back Monday night. I don't know if that's a

2421
01:59:25,600 --> 01:59:27,600
Speaker 2: good thing. He's fourteen and thirty two as a starter.

2422
01:59:27,960 --> 01:59:32,520
Speaker 2: He's default mechanism is still to run, and he was

2423
01:59:32,600 --> 01:59:36,200
Speaker 2: in concussion protocol because that's his style. The Jets rank

2424
01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:38,800
Speaker 2: bottom ten on both sides of the ball from an

2425
01:59:38,800 --> 01:59:43,680
Speaker 2: EPA for play standpoint, and I would say that at

2426
01:59:43,720 --> 01:59:46,200
Speaker 2: this point Justin Fields is a stopgap.

2427
01:59:46,360 --> 01:59:47,879
Speaker 3: He's not their long term quarterback.

2428
01:59:48,120 --> 01:59:49,080
Speaker 5: You may not want to hear that.

2429
01:59:49,800 --> 01:59:51,920
Speaker 2: I don't dislike Justin Fields, but he's not a major

2430
01:59:52,000 --> 01:59:55,080
Speaker 2: league quarterback. So we'll get to the other winless team's

2431
01:59:55,120 --> 01:59:57,440
Speaker 2: coming up. And oh, by the way, what are the

2432
01:59:57,520 --> 02:00:00,400
Speaker 2: key matchups to really pay closest attention to coming up

2433
02:00:00,880 --> 02:00:03,720
Speaker 2: Sunday and Monday. We'll tell you keep it locked. You're

2434

2441
02:00:18,360 --> 02:00:21,320
Speaker 2: Radio studios here in Las Vegas. Take up to three

2442
02:00:21,360 --> 02:00:25,200
Speaker 2: am Pacific, six a m Eastern, four and a half

2443
02:00:25,280 --> 02:00:29,480
Speaker 2: hours away from NFL kickoff from Ireland. Your Vikings and

2444
02:00:29,600 --> 02:00:35,640
Speaker 2: Steelers as the NFL resumption Week four continues. And by

2445
02:00:35,680 --> 02:00:39,960
Speaker 2: the way, you heard on the update that Justin Fields

2446
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:42,840
Speaker 2: is out of concussion protocol. I'm actually looking forward to

2447
02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:46,240
Speaker 2: watching them play Monday night. I may be one of

2448
02:00:46,280 --> 02:00:48,200
Speaker 2: the few people on the planet feels like Miami wins

2449
02:00:48,280 --> 02:00:51,560
Speaker 2: that game. There are Mets right now, but they're still

2450
02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:57,560
Speaker 2: a short favorite. Look, if there's ever a guy that

2451
02:00:57,680 --> 02:01:01,240
Speaker 2: you would want to model in terms of professionalism, dignity,

2452
02:01:01,960 --> 02:01:07,000
Speaker 2: carrying himself with a high, respectable manner. He was phenomenal

2453
02:01:07,080 --> 02:01:10,560
Speaker 2: in college, it's Justin Fields. He has not translated the

2454
02:01:10,600 --> 02:01:13,880
Speaker 2: professional game. He's fourteen and thirty two as a starter,

2455
02:01:14,320 --> 02:01:16,920
Speaker 2: he said, plenty of opportunity, and they keep sticking with him.

2456
02:01:17,360 --> 02:01:19,080
Speaker 2: And I don't want to hear this complain about how

2457
02:01:19,080 --> 02:01:20,800
Speaker 2: the NFL doesn't develop quarterbacks.

2458
02:01:20,920 --> 02:01:22,480
Speaker 3: But they do develop quarterbacks.

2459
02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:26,800
Speaker 2: What they can't do is transform athletes in their quotes,

2460
02:01:26,920 --> 02:01:30,960
Speaker 2: athletes who don't grasp reality. Quarterback is a position you

2461
02:01:31,040 --> 02:01:34,600
Speaker 2: play with your eyes. NFL offenses are designed by very

2462
02:01:34,640 --> 02:01:38,480
Speaker 2: smart men. They are intricate, they're very complicated, and they're diversified.

2463
02:01:39,280 --> 02:01:44,240
Speaker 2: Recognition is number one. You play the position with your eyes.

2464
02:01:44,320 --> 02:01:46,400
Speaker 2: You have to have a base level of talent, arm talent,

2465
02:01:46,640 --> 02:01:49,800
Speaker 2: like all that. But you receive the ball, you make

2466
02:01:49,880 --> 02:01:53,280
Speaker 2: mental snapshots, and you have to execute within about two

2467
02:01:53,320 --> 02:01:55,680
Speaker 2: seconds or you're not going to be long in this league.

2468
02:01:55,760 --> 02:01:59,440
Speaker 2: He's got forty six starts. You simply can't take off

2469
02:01:59,520 --> 02:02:03,200
Speaker 2: and run because it worked in college. That's my two

2470
02:02:03,320 --> 02:02:06,960
Speaker 2: second synopsis, which you've probably heard me say a thousand times.

2471
02:02:07,880 --> 02:02:10,000
Speaker 2: So it's a matchup I'll watch Monday night, But I'm

2472
02:02:10,040 --> 02:02:13,600
Speaker 2: not as intrigued as much about that matchup, nor should

2473
02:02:13,640 --> 02:02:15,920
Speaker 2: you be, as the one I'm gonna mention starting with

2474
02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:19,240
Speaker 2: Sunday night. It's come up a couple of times on

2475
02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:24,680
Speaker 2: the show, had a good caller from Dallas because Michael

2476
02:02:24,720 --> 02:02:28,160
Speaker 2: Parsons was not signed by the Cowboys, and there's some

2477
02:02:28,200 --> 02:02:31,000
Speaker 2: bitterness there. And if you peel back the onion, Look,

2478
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:34,400
Speaker 2: I have a degree in journalism, and I would say

2479
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:40,000
Speaker 2: this as a journalist. If somebody tells me it's raining

2480
02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:43,480
Speaker 2: and the other side it says it's sunny, it's not

2481
02:02:43,680 --> 02:02:49,320
Speaker 2: my job to argue. It's my job to look outside

2482
02:02:49,360 --> 02:02:53,240
Speaker 2: the window and do my own research. Now that's my understanding.

2483
02:02:53,640 --> 02:02:56,240
Speaker 2: And Jerry Jones handle is in a very clunky fashion.

2484
02:02:56,720 --> 02:02:59,200
Speaker 2: Not going to defend Jerry Jones, but it takes two

2485
02:02:59,240 --> 02:03:02,720
Speaker 2: to tango, Okay. I understand that Parsons was offered forty

2486
02:03:02,760 --> 02:03:05,720
Speaker 2: one million dollars, which would have made him the highest

2487
02:03:05,760 --> 02:03:09,160
Speaker 2: paid non quarterback. I mean his agent didn't like that. Well,

2488
02:03:09,320 --> 02:03:11,080
Speaker 2: they got forty six million and they're in Green Bay

2489
02:03:11,080 --> 02:03:14,560
Speaker 2: and they should be happy. But this keeps getting referred

2490
02:03:14,880 --> 02:03:20,320
Speaker 2: back to. Now, if you're if you have any monkable

2491
02:03:20,400 --> 02:03:24,480
Speaker 2: business sense, had they signed Michael Parsons for forty six million,

2492
02:03:24,480 --> 02:03:28,040
Speaker 2: they'd had three players out of their entire roster take

2493
02:03:28,040 --> 02:03:29,920
Speaker 2: out fifty percent of their salary cap. Does that make

2494
02:03:29,960 --> 02:03:33,720
Speaker 2: any sense? Maybe Michael Parsons would give Dallas the best

2495
02:03:33,800 --> 02:03:36,000
Speaker 2: chance of going eight to nine or but not winning

2496
02:03:36,040 --> 02:03:39,000
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. But nonetheless, this is the beauty of

2497
02:03:39,760 --> 02:03:44,520
Speaker 2: these games, are the storylines behind them and the significance.

2498
02:03:45,120 --> 02:03:47,760
Speaker 3: So the Packers are winning this argument.

2499
02:03:47,840 --> 02:03:50,880
Speaker 2: The Packers are winning this deal obviously, all right, how

2500
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:54,360
Speaker 2: valuable is the superstar pass rusher? And I said forty six? Man,

2501
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:55,480
Speaker 2: I guess he got forty seven.

2502
02:03:55,560 --> 02:03:55,800
Speaker 22: May in.

2503
02:03:57,480 --> 02:03:59,840
Speaker 2: In the case of Michael Parsons, the value is all

2504
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:04,800
Speaker 2: already showing since losing him just before the season. The Cowboys,

2505
02:04:04,880 --> 02:04:07,560
Speaker 2: who are one and two, their defense allows about six

2506
02:04:07,600 --> 02:04:10,560
Speaker 2: and a half yards per play, which ranks thirty first,

2507
02:04:11,320 --> 02:04:14,200
Speaker 2: quite a bit worse than last year when they allowed

2508
02:04:14,240 --> 02:04:14,840
Speaker 2: five point eight.

2509
02:04:14,880 --> 02:04:16,200
Speaker 3: That's almost a yard per play.

2510
02:04:16,800 --> 02:04:19,280
Speaker 2: They also allowed to combine sixty eight points to the

2511
02:04:19,440 --> 02:04:24,600
Speaker 2: Giants in Bears, that's ranking thirty first, and opposing quarterbacks

2512
02:04:24,680 --> 02:04:27,560
Speaker 2: time to throw they're getting over three seconds and thirty

2513
02:04:27,600 --> 02:04:30,240
Speaker 2: first in completions allowed out of twenty plus yards. What

2514
02:04:30,360 --> 02:04:34,160
Speaker 2: does that say that the Cowboys defense couldn't stop a parade?

2515
02:04:35,360 --> 02:04:38,280
Speaker 2: As for the two to one Packers, now with Michael

2516
02:04:38,280 --> 02:04:41,240
Speaker 2: Parsons in the lineup facts as facts.

2517
02:04:42,320 --> 02:04:44,280
Speaker 3: They've allowed a historically low.

2518
02:04:44,480 --> 02:04:47,200
Speaker 2: Three point seven yards per play, the league's best mart

2519
02:04:47,840 --> 02:04:51,080
Speaker 2: and twelve in opposing quarterbacks time to throw two point

2520
02:04:51,120 --> 02:04:54,280
Speaker 2: eight seconds. All right, they're also green Bay is also

2521
02:04:54,320 --> 02:04:59,440
Speaker 2: allowing the feuse completions of twenty plus yards. All right,

2522
02:05:00,560 --> 02:05:04,400
Speaker 2: But actually, believe it or not, the Cowboys run defense, well,

2523
02:05:05,640 --> 02:05:11,000
Speaker 2: they think it improved a little bit. But let's not

2524
02:05:11,160 --> 02:05:16,640
Speaker 2: dwell too much on the math. Parkins excuse me Parsons

2525
02:05:18,560 --> 02:05:23,800
Speaker 2: talking about Micah Parsons, not Danny Parkins. I expect that

2526
02:05:24,080 --> 02:05:26,200
Speaker 2: they're going to be far more cheers and almost no

2527
02:05:26,320 --> 02:05:30,040
Speaker 2: booze when he returns to Dallas on Sunday night. I

2528
02:05:30,240 --> 02:05:33,040
Speaker 2: expect if Jerry Jones is shown, he's gonna get booed.

2529
02:05:34,360 --> 02:05:37,520
Speaker 2: But here's again, let's try to look at this objectively.

2530
02:05:38,080 --> 02:05:41,760
Speaker 2: Set your feelings aside. Is it fair to react this

2531
02:05:41,920 --> 02:05:46,000
Speaker 2: harshly against the Cowboys to executives? Do people who understand

2532
02:05:46,040 --> 02:05:48,800
Speaker 2: the potential of first round picks and forty seven million

2533
02:05:48,840 --> 02:05:52,040
Speaker 2: per year thing differently? No? I guess when you asked

2534
02:05:52,040 --> 02:05:56,320
Speaker 2: twelve of the league's decision makers, they said kind of.

2535
02:05:56,360 --> 02:05:59,200
Speaker 2: The twelve said, no, you make that deal for Parsons

2536
02:05:59,280 --> 02:06:02,280
Speaker 2: and I can't with that you make that do for

2537
02:06:02,400 --> 02:06:07,320
Speaker 2: Parsons two set of depends. Well, again, you can't tie

2538
02:06:07,400 --> 02:06:11,360
Speaker 2: up your half of your salary cap in three players.

2539
02:06:11,880 --> 02:06:15,240
Speaker 2: But back to the matchup you're a during Fantasy files.

2540
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:19,440
Speaker 2: The name Matthew Golden. He's a receiver for the Packers,

2541
02:06:20,160 --> 02:06:24,480
Speaker 2: and he is fast, very fast, And one of the

2542
02:06:24,560 --> 02:06:29,320
Speaker 2: matchups to watch Sunday night is Matthew Golden versus the

2543
02:06:29,400 --> 02:06:34,560
Speaker 2: Cowboys cornerbacks. Matthew Golden ran the fastest forty yard dash

2544
02:06:35,240 --> 02:06:38,640
Speaker 2: at this year's Combine, four zero point twenty nine seconds,

2545
02:06:39,880 --> 02:06:42,760
Speaker 2: and he finished as the second highest wide receiver on

2546
02:06:43,880 --> 02:06:48,480
Speaker 2: many scouts draft boards. Now, Golden has not done much

2547
02:06:48,520 --> 02:06:51,240
Speaker 2: in three games. He's caught six balls for sixty eight

2548
02:06:51,320 --> 02:06:54,040
Speaker 2: yards and by the way, Jordan Loves missed him on

2549
02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:59,280
Speaker 2: a couple of game changing plays. This may really be

2550
02:06:59,400 --> 02:07:04,440
Speaker 2: the week to watch Matthew Golden flash if there's any

2551
02:07:05,720 --> 02:07:08,480
Speaker 2: opportunity for him. But remember he played his college football

2552
02:07:08,640 --> 02:07:13,000
Speaker 2: at Texas. He's a former Longhorn, so he wants to

2553
02:07:13,040 --> 02:07:15,840
Speaker 2: live up to his first round draft capitol pick in

2554
02:07:15,960 --> 02:07:19,600
Speaker 2: his return to Texas. And again, the Cowboys ranch just

2555
02:07:20,040 --> 02:07:23,880
Speaker 2: thirty first to Pro football focuses coverage grades and although

2556
02:07:23,920 --> 02:07:28,880
Speaker 2: they get Deron Bland their best corner, Golden most likely

2557
02:07:29,040 --> 02:07:32,360
Speaker 2: is going to line up outside or he'll put probably

2558
02:07:32,520 --> 02:07:38,800
Speaker 2: matchup against Trevon Diggs, who Matthew Goldi can beat again

2559
02:07:38,920 --> 02:07:42,680
Speaker 2: these advanced metrics, Travon Diggs has allowed the most touchdowns

2560
02:07:42,720 --> 02:07:46,680
Speaker 2: in coverage or Premier elim who's allowed the most yards.

2561
02:07:47,880 --> 02:07:50,720
Speaker 2: That's a key matchup to watch. It's going to be

2562
02:07:50,800 --> 02:07:53,480
Speaker 2: a fun game anyway, is slice it? Okay? This is entertainment.

2563
02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:57,000
Speaker 2: We don't have royalty in this country. Our athletes, there

2564
02:07:57,040 --> 02:08:01,080
Speaker 2: are entertainers, there are royalty. I hope it's not a blowout.

2565
02:08:02,200 --> 02:08:03,680
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll be a blow out. I think

2566
02:08:03,680 --> 02:08:05,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna get max effort out of the Cowboys.

2567
02:08:06,080 --> 02:08:09,360
Speaker 3: They're really not that bad. They just they got holes everywhere.

2568
02:08:09,400 --> 02:08:13,240
Speaker 2: But they're gonna compete and they're gonna have a little

2569
02:08:13,280 --> 02:08:16,240
Speaker 2: extra motivation too. But as you're at Steve Esiks earlier

2570
02:08:16,280 --> 02:08:18,880
Speaker 2: as well, whenever a player that you know goes back

2571
02:08:19,080 --> 02:08:24,480
Speaker 2: against this old team, oftentimes he has the game of

2572
02:08:24,520 --> 02:08:27,960
Speaker 2: his life. So again I think advantage Packers. But that's

2573
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:30,960
Speaker 2: the key matchup to watch. While Matthew Golden does so

2574
02:08:31,480 --> 02:08:34,440
Speaker 2: in about four hours and twenty one minutes, you'll get

2575
02:08:34,480 --> 02:08:38,040
Speaker 2: to start to watch this matchup and hopefully you've got your.

2576
02:08:40,120 --> 02:08:42,040
Speaker 3: Fantasy lineup set.

2577
02:08:42,960 --> 02:08:47,280
Speaker 2: We have, you know, the season's very first international game,

2578
02:08:48,360 --> 02:08:53,000
Speaker 2: and interestingly enough, the Vikings are facing the Steelers. The

2579
02:08:53,120 --> 02:08:55,720
Speaker 2: Vikings are two and a half point favorites. If Minnesota

2580
02:08:55,800 --> 02:08:59,440
Speaker 2: wins this game, they'll be five to zero historically when

2581
02:08:59,480 --> 02:09:05,040
Speaker 2: playing game outside the US. By the way, Aaron Rodgers,

2582
02:09:05,800 --> 02:09:09,600
Speaker 2: he gets his first shot at the team that turned

2583
02:09:09,640 --> 02:09:14,240
Speaker 2: him down. I think Kevin O'Connell was quite candid about

2584
02:09:14,280 --> 02:09:19,400
Speaker 2: how he really wanted to develop JJ McCarthy. They brought

2585
02:09:19,480 --> 02:09:22,320
Speaker 2: in Carson Wentz, and sure enough, McCarthy gets hurt right away.

2586
02:09:24,560 --> 02:09:29,560
Speaker 3: So and I think Rogers says something to prove.

2587
02:09:29,600 --> 02:09:31,960
Speaker 2: But if you've watched him, and I got nothing against Rogers,

2588
02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:34,960
Speaker 2: but he man, he's lost more than a yard off

2589
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:38,360
Speaker 2: his fastball. He's he's diminished. And by the way, the

2590
02:09:38,440 --> 02:09:43,440
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh defense looks very wobbly. But Rodgers hasn't done yet.

2591
02:09:43,520 --> 02:09:47,680
Speaker 2: He recently passed Brett Favre on the NFL touchdown passes list.

2592
02:09:47,840 --> 02:09:51,960
Speaker 2: He's throwing ten touchdown passes. He only needs thirty more

2593
02:09:52,040 --> 02:09:55,000
Speaker 2: this season to pass Peyton Manning for third behind Tom

2594
02:09:55,040 --> 02:09:56,840
Speaker 2: Brady and Drew Brees. So he's going into the Hall

2595
02:09:56,880 --> 02:09:59,040
Speaker 2: of fame. Okay, Alma will pick him up to go

2596
02:09:59,080 --> 02:10:00,760
Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame, but it's not not necessarily

2597
02:10:01,040 --> 02:10:06,160
Speaker 2: ending well, which leads to my matchup. Key matchup Aaron

2598
02:10:06,280 --> 02:10:12,400
Speaker 2: Rodgers versus Brian Flores defense. The Rodgers has struggled against

2599
02:10:12,960 --> 02:10:16,960
Speaker 2: the Florist defense just last season, a matchup that also

2600
02:10:17,040 --> 02:10:19,120
Speaker 2: happened overseas for what's that?

2601
02:10:19,600 --> 02:10:21,120
Speaker 3: For what that is worth?

2602
02:10:22,600 --> 02:10:27,040
Speaker 2: And you know they intercepted Rogers three times, twice in

2603
02:10:27,120 --> 02:10:30,480
Speaker 2: the first quarter. And now he's forty one. He took

2604
02:10:30,560 --> 02:10:35,240
Speaker 2: three sacks and nine hits against the New York Jets

2605
02:10:35,320 --> 02:10:37,120
Speaker 2: last week, even though they won twenty three to seventeen.

2606
02:10:39,160 --> 02:10:41,480
Speaker 2: If Pittsburgh doesn't get the same kind of defensive push

2607
02:10:41,520 --> 02:10:44,120
Speaker 2: against Carson Wentz, I think it's a long day for Pittsburgh.

2608
02:10:44,520 --> 02:10:46,960
Speaker 2: I really feel strong in Minnesota wins this game. And

2609
02:10:47,080 --> 02:10:49,080
Speaker 2: it's a nice light line. Yeah, it's a neutral field,

2610
02:10:49,120 --> 02:10:52,280
Speaker 2: but it's a nice light line. Another key matchup, which

2611
02:10:52,320 --> 02:10:55,560
Speaker 2: we've referenced earlier in the show, the Eagles at Bucks.

2612
02:10:56,440 --> 02:10:59,560
Speaker 2: Eagles laying three and a half. A lot of good

2613
02:10:59,600 --> 02:11:03,040
Speaker 2: football this Sunday, but only one game tops this matchup,

2614
02:11:03,560 --> 02:11:08,400
Speaker 2: and that's between undefeated NFC front runners Tampa Bay. Frankly,

2615
02:11:09,160 --> 02:11:12,400
Speaker 2: they have the Eagle's number of the past few years. Actually,

2616
02:11:13,280 --> 02:11:17,720
Speaker 2: people have probably forgotten. Tampa Bay beat Philly last year

2617
02:11:17,760 --> 02:11:21,160
Speaker 2: their Super Bowl year, by seventeen points. They beat him

2618
02:11:21,200 --> 02:11:23,880
Speaker 2: thirty three to sixteen. And now you got Baker Mayfield

2619
02:11:23,880 --> 02:11:25,520
Speaker 2: at home. He's a little banged up. They get Tristan

2620
02:11:25,560 --> 02:11:30,480
Speaker 2: Worf's back. And the Bucks have beaten the Eagles four

2621
02:11:30,680 --> 02:11:34,120
Speaker 2: of their past five meetings, and they get him at home.

2622
02:11:34,960 --> 02:11:37,839
Speaker 2: Bucks get him at home. A couple of key matchups

2623
02:11:39,560 --> 02:11:42,640
Speaker 2: Tampa's receivers versus the Eagles secondary. Now, I know Mike

2624
02:11:42,720 --> 02:11:45,640
Speaker 2: Evans is out with a hamstring injury, but if Chris

2625
02:11:45,720 --> 02:11:50,200
Speaker 2: Godwin returns, he'll pair with Amika Igbuka against the secondary.

2626
02:11:50,240 --> 02:11:53,960
Speaker 2: That's been very much exposed already this season. We told

2627
02:11:54,000 --> 02:11:58,320
Speaker 2: you before the season started the Eagles were replacing six

2628
02:11:58,400 --> 02:12:02,440
Speaker 2: guys on defense more Darius Slay and their cornerbacks are

2629
02:12:02,480 --> 02:12:07,520
Speaker 2: young and new. Puka Nakua caught eleven balls for one

2630
02:12:07,600 --> 02:12:10,280
Speaker 2: hundred and twelve yards against the Eagles just last week

2631
02:12:10,680 --> 02:12:13,840
Speaker 2: and Ceedee Lamb seven receptions one hundred and ten yards,

2632
02:12:14,160 --> 02:12:17,400
Speaker 2: even though he had more than one brutal drop in

2633
02:12:17,520 --> 02:12:19,520
Speaker 2: Week one, which may have cost Dallas the game. I

2634
02:12:19,520 --> 02:12:23,320
Speaker 2: don't know, We'll never know, but there's no reason Baker

2635
02:12:23,400 --> 02:12:26,200
Speaker 2: Mayfield can't continue to exploit that secondary. So keep an

2636
02:12:26,200 --> 02:12:31,440
Speaker 2: eye on the Bucks receivers versus the Eagle secondary. Meanwhile,

2637
02:12:31,600 --> 02:12:34,400
Speaker 2: you got Saquon Barkley versus the Bucks run defense.

2638
02:12:35,040 --> 02:12:35,840
Speaker 3: Now, Barkley, for.

2639
02:12:35,920 --> 02:12:39,040
Speaker 2: Whatever reason, has struggled a little this year, particularly on

2640
02:12:39,240 --> 02:12:42,440
Speaker 2: first downs, only averaging two point nine yards per rush,

2641
02:12:43,040 --> 02:12:47,440
Speaker 2: tied for the fourth fewest among leagues the NFL starting

2642
02:12:47,560 --> 02:12:51,360
Speaker 2: running backs. Now, he hasn't been much better in downs

2643
02:12:51,400 --> 02:12:54,720
Speaker 2: two and three eater or down four, averaging four yards

2644
02:12:54,760 --> 02:12:58,160
Speaker 2: on second and third down. And now he's facing a

2645
02:12:58,240 --> 02:13:01,600
Speaker 2: defense led by Vidavea, who you talk about a defense

2646
02:13:01,640 --> 02:13:05,760
Speaker 2: that maintains gap integrity. They allow the sixth fewest rushing

2647
02:13:05,800 --> 02:13:09,760
Speaker 2: yards per game. So maybe Philly employs a different strategy

2648
02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:12,560
Speaker 2: on first down that Barkley could be better than you think.

2649
02:13:12,640 --> 02:13:16,400
Speaker 2: Even though he's rarely broken big runs against the Bucks,

2650
02:13:17,200 --> 02:13:21,320
Speaker 2: Barkley's averaged five point one yards per carry in those matchups. Now,

2651
02:13:21,800 --> 02:13:26,200
Speaker 2: the Eagles I think are in for their first loss.

2652
02:13:27,000 --> 02:13:29,760
Speaker 2: I do the Bucks are underdogs. I think they have

2653
02:13:29,880 --> 02:13:31,720
Speaker 2: a much better chance of going to four to ZHO,

2654
02:13:32,080 --> 02:13:34,640
Speaker 2: thanks in part to the return of their left tackle

2655
02:13:34,720 --> 02:13:41,200
Speaker 2: Tristan ORFs, who's obviously Baker Mayfield's blindside protection, and Chris

2656
02:13:41,280 --> 02:13:44,960
Speaker 2: Godwin as well. But watch those Bucks receivers against the

2657
02:13:45,000 --> 02:13:48,040
Speaker 2: Eagle secondary. That's key, and we'll see if the Bucks

2658
02:13:48,320 --> 02:13:52,560
Speaker 2: defense run defense specifically can keep Sake one Barkley under check.

2659
02:13:52,760 --> 02:13:53,680
Speaker 3: The Eagles again.

2660
02:13:53,720 --> 02:13:56,880
Speaker 2: They overcame a big deficit last week against the Rams,

2661
02:13:57,240 --> 02:13:59,720
Speaker 2: and in their first two games, even though they won both,

2662
02:14:00,760 --> 02:14:02,320
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurst didn't throw a touchdown pass.

2663
02:14:02,360 --> 02:14:03,200
Speaker 3: But you know what a win is.

2664
02:14:03,240 --> 02:14:04,560
Speaker 2: A win is a win. And they're three and ozero

2665
02:14:04,560 --> 02:14:09,400
Speaker 2: and they're defending champs and they still got the touch push. Finally,

2666
02:14:10,000 --> 02:14:11,800
Speaker 2: if there's only one game, I could watch you a

2667
02:14:11,880 --> 02:14:14,640
Speaker 2: weekend and I'm glad that's not the case. How would

2668
02:14:14,640 --> 02:14:17,800
Speaker 2: it not be the one in two Ravens laying two

2669
02:14:17,800 --> 02:14:20,920
Speaker 2: and a half points at the one and two Chiefs.

2670
02:14:21,760 --> 02:14:23,320
Speaker 2: I know it's only Week four, but is this a

2671
02:14:23,400 --> 02:14:25,800
Speaker 2: must win for both teams? No, it's not a must

2672
02:14:25,840 --> 02:14:28,920
Speaker 2: win for either team. You still got plenty. What do

2673
02:14:29,000 --> 02:14:31,120
Speaker 2: you do. It's Week four, you got thirteen games left.

2674
02:14:31,160 --> 02:14:33,280
Speaker 2: Take No, it's not a must win stop with that,

2675
02:14:35,360 --> 02:14:37,040
Speaker 2: but I think the Ravens needed a lot more.

2676
02:14:37,880 --> 02:14:38,400
Speaker 3: I really do.

2677
02:14:38,640 --> 02:14:41,080
Speaker 2: A loss puts either at one and three, which would

2678
02:14:41,080 --> 02:14:42,920
Speaker 2: be their worst start to a season in ten years.

2679
02:14:43,240 --> 02:14:47,760
Speaker 2: It's also likely, remember this because Buffalo's hot, and Buffalo's

2680
02:14:47,800 --> 02:14:51,360
Speaker 2: got the Saints on Sunday. No guarantees, but you did

2681
02:14:51,440 --> 02:14:55,040
Speaker 2: presume they'll win. It's likely that a one in three

2682
02:14:55,080 --> 02:14:57,520
Speaker 2: start puts your three full games behind the Bills for

2683
02:14:57,560 --> 02:15:00,400
Speaker 2: first place in the ANFC and behind the re Inspective

2684
02:15:00,400 --> 02:15:03,840
Speaker 2: Division leaders. And then if you go one in three,

2685
02:15:04,720 --> 02:15:06,400
Speaker 2: you start to run the risk of whether or not

2686
02:15:06,480 --> 02:15:10,680
Speaker 2: you're a playoff contender. Because remember now, Baltimore would love

2687
02:15:10,720 --> 02:15:14,120
Speaker 2: to have the AFC Championship game at home, even though

2688
02:15:14,120 --> 02:15:16,360
Speaker 2: it didn't work two years ago, and the Chiefs would

2689
02:15:16,360 --> 02:15:18,000
Speaker 2: love to have the AFC Championship game at home.

2690
02:15:18,040 --> 02:15:20,160
Speaker 3: Right now, it looks like it's Buffaloes to lose.

2691
02:15:20,520 --> 02:15:23,360
Speaker 2: You'd rather not travel if you don't have to, but

2692
02:15:23,560 --> 02:15:25,520
Speaker 2: one of these teams one of the things that's going

2693
02:15:25,600 --> 02:15:25,920
Speaker 2: to happen.

2694
02:15:26,000 --> 02:15:28,160
Speaker 3: This is what it feels like a really high stakes game.

2695
02:15:29,640 --> 02:15:32,080
Speaker 2: One of these teams, the Ravens or the Chiefs, is

2696
02:15:32,120 --> 02:15:33,760
Speaker 2: going to have its worst start to a season in

2697
02:15:33,880 --> 02:15:39,520
Speaker 2: ten years now. Basically, it's been pretty good sailing over

2698
02:15:39,560 --> 02:15:42,400
Speaker 2: the past few years, since both the Ravens and the

2699
02:15:42,480 --> 02:15:45,720
Speaker 2: Chiefs will be able to hitch their wagon to probably

2700
02:15:45,800 --> 02:15:47,280
Speaker 2: future Hall of Fame quarterbacks.

2701
02:15:47,800 --> 02:15:50,520
Speaker 3: But Monday night, one of these guys is gonna.

2702
02:15:50,280 --> 02:15:54,240
Speaker 2: Wake up Monday morning, excuse me, after having the start

2703
02:15:54,280 --> 02:15:56,400
Speaker 2: of the season one and three for the first time

2704
02:15:56,440 --> 02:16:02,520
Speaker 2: in their career. So it's a little bit different of

2705
02:16:02,600 --> 02:16:07,600
Speaker 2: a tail of two cities. Kansas City, their two losses

2706
02:16:07,760 --> 02:16:12,640
Speaker 2: are two undefeated teams in the Chargers and Eagles, and

2707
02:16:13,000 --> 02:16:15,400
Speaker 2: you can still wonder if Travis Kelsey hasn't dropped that

2708
02:16:15,520 --> 02:16:17,720
Speaker 2: pass on the goal line and pops into an Eagle defender,

2709
02:16:17,960 --> 02:16:22,560
Speaker 2: what might have happened. And Baltimore they lost to the Lions,

2710
02:16:23,520 --> 02:16:26,000
Speaker 2: who obviously are going to be very good again this year.

2711
02:16:26,040 --> 02:16:28,720
Speaker 2: They got their defensive players back, and the Bills were

2712
02:16:28,840 --> 02:16:32,000
Speaker 2: three to zero. Both lost their two games by a

2713
02:16:32,040 --> 02:16:36,440
Speaker 2: total of nine points. But of the two, the Ravens

2714
02:16:36,480 --> 02:16:39,560
Speaker 2: looked a little prettier, if we can say that, they

2715
02:16:39,959 --> 02:16:42,000
Speaker 2: look a little more potent on offense, with a lot

2716
02:16:42,080 --> 02:16:44,520
Speaker 2: more potent. They scored one hundred and eleven points in

2717
02:16:44,560 --> 02:16:47,879
Speaker 2: their first three games, and their Chiefs have only scored sixty.

2718
02:16:48,920 --> 02:16:52,520
Speaker 2: It's clear this version of the Chiefs roster is seen

2719
02:16:52,560 --> 02:16:54,959
Speaker 2: its better day. But they're not dead yet. Don't bury

2720
02:16:55,040 --> 02:16:58,080
Speaker 2: him yet, I will say, though, they're gonna need to

2721
02:16:58,200 --> 02:17:01,480
Speaker 2: give Patrick Mahomes some help. Their running game has not

2722
02:17:01,600 --> 02:17:04,240
Speaker 2: been it's been non existent. They've rushed for total three

2723
02:17:04,320 --> 02:17:08,440
Speaker 2: touchdowns and Mahomes has two of them. All right, So

2724
02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:11,480
Speaker 2: the Ravens and Bills have waited to be the lead

2725
02:17:11,600 --> 02:17:16,000
Speaker 2: dog in the AFC for years, but now that it's

2726
02:17:16,240 --> 02:17:18,840
Speaker 2: you know, it's time. Baltimore can't let Buffalo get a

2727
02:17:18,879 --> 02:17:21,760
Speaker 2: full lap ahead. That's as simple as that, all right.

2728
02:17:21,959 --> 02:17:26,320
Speaker 2: So I would just say this though, again I'm paid

2729
02:17:26,360 --> 02:17:28,960
Speaker 2: to have opinions, and this is my opinion. I can't

2730
02:17:29,040 --> 02:17:32,880
Speaker 2: see the Chiefs losing this game at home. I just can't.

2731
02:17:34,400 --> 02:17:34,600
Speaker 5: Why.

2732
02:17:35,080 --> 02:17:38,240
Speaker 2: Okay, look, I realized again, I said it a minute ago.

2733
02:17:38,320 --> 02:17:40,520
Speaker 2: Baltimore has looked more dangerous. They' scored one hundred and

2734
02:17:40,520 --> 02:17:43,000
Speaker 2: eleven points to Kansas City sixty in their first three games.

2735
02:17:43,879 --> 02:17:47,000
Speaker 2: All Right, the Chiefs look like they're getting older, they're

2736
02:17:47,000 --> 02:17:48,800
Speaker 2: getting a little longer under tooth, and they're banged up.

2737
02:17:48,800 --> 02:17:52,560
Speaker 2: Although Piers have Xavier Worthy back, how effectively the VB

2738
02:17:53,080 --> 02:17:56,680
Speaker 2: three weeks from a separated shoulder. He's not going to

2739
02:17:56,720 --> 02:17:58,720
Speaker 2: have one hundred percent catch radius. Can he take a hit?

2740
02:17:58,800 --> 02:17:59,160
Speaker 3: You don't know.

2741
02:17:59,520 --> 02:18:01,680
Speaker 2: But the chief have that DNA and tangible. I just

2742
02:18:01,680 --> 02:18:03,800
Speaker 2: don't think the Ravens do. They do want paper, but

2743
02:18:03,920 --> 02:18:07,039
Speaker 2: in these big games, wins. The last time Baltimore really

2744
02:18:07,120 --> 02:18:10,440
Speaker 2: won the game they needed to win. They've never been

2745
02:18:10,480 --> 02:18:12,520
Speaker 2: to a super Bowl and they know it. And if

2746
02:18:12,560 --> 02:18:14,400
Speaker 2: I had to nickel for every talking head to predict

2747
02:18:14,440 --> 02:18:17,040
Speaker 2: that the Ravens would win the Super Bowl this season. Translation,

2748
02:18:17,560 --> 02:18:19,360
Speaker 2: they want the Ravens to win a super Bowl. They're

2749
02:18:19,400 --> 02:18:21,240
Speaker 2: rooting for the Ravens to win the Super Bowl. They

2750
02:18:21,280 --> 02:18:25,320
Speaker 2: have this vested interest in Lamar Jackson winning the Super Bowl. Okay,

2751
02:18:26,240 --> 02:18:30,040
Speaker 2: maybe they will, but don't tell me, show me. It

2752
02:18:30,160 --> 02:18:33,240
Speaker 2: starts Sunday in Kansas City. This game is a referendum.

2753
02:18:33,680 --> 02:18:35,320
Speaker 2: You don't want to start one to three and be

2754
02:18:35,440 --> 02:18:38,320
Speaker 2: chasing buffalo and chasing your tail the rest of the season.

2755
02:18:38,600 --> 02:18:40,280
Speaker 2: I think there'll be a lot of teeth gnashing in

2756
02:18:40,360 --> 02:18:43,760
Speaker 2: Baltimore if they lose that game. By the way, if

2765
02:19:12,800 --> 02:19:15,880
Speaker 2: we'll talk about what's sailing the Titans? Why are they?

2766
02:19:16,040 --> 02:19:18,880
Speaker 2: Oh in three? What's sailing the New York Giants? Well,

2767
02:19:18,920 --> 02:19:20,840
Speaker 2: that might be a little easier one. Why are they

2768
02:19:20,879 --> 02:19:22,880
Speaker 2: really owing three? And we'll do the same with a

2769
02:19:22,959 --> 02:19:25,640
Speaker 2: saying six teams own three and at least two are

2770
02:19:25,640 --> 02:19:29,520
Speaker 2: going to be owned four come Monday because they face

2771
02:19:29,600 --> 02:19:31,959
Speaker 2: each other. I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming to your line

Speaker 2: coming to you live from the La Vegas studios of

2781

Speaker 2: to three, one and two against the spread. There's Vegas

2783
02:20:05,800 --> 02:20:07,760
Speaker 2: win total before the season went six and a half.

2784
02:20:08,840 --> 02:20:10,400
Speaker 3: Well, they have real problems.

2785
02:20:10,440 --> 02:20:12,720
Speaker 2: They rank thirty second on offense and twenty eighth on

2786
02:20:12,879 --> 02:20:16,240
Speaker 2: defense through three game yardage total of six to sixty

2787
02:20:16,320 --> 02:20:19,800
Speaker 2: seven is the lowest in their entire franchise, going back

2788
02:20:19,840 --> 02:20:22,199
Speaker 2: fifty two years when they were called the Houston Oilers

2789
02:20:22,200 --> 02:20:26,240
Speaker 2: and they fired their coach after five games. But I

2790
02:20:26,320 --> 02:20:31,240
Speaker 2: got to say the loss to Indianapolis had to be

2791
02:20:31,959 --> 02:20:38,000
Speaker 2: really a sign of something maybe that's happening above the

2792
02:20:38,080 --> 02:20:41,640
Speaker 2: playing field. They were trailing seventeen to six with about

2793
02:20:41,680 --> 02:20:44,360
Speaker 2: forty seconds in the second quarter. They had fourth to

2794
02:20:44,480 --> 02:20:48,080
Speaker 2: one from the colts thirty nine yard line. Indy calls

2795
02:20:48,120 --> 02:20:50,720
Speaker 2: a timeout. Tennessee leaves it's offense on the field, but

2796
02:20:50,800 --> 02:20:56,160
Speaker 2: the play clock continued to look. Then Tennessee calls a timeout.

2797
02:20:56,560 --> 02:20:58,440
Speaker 2: The Titans and their kicking team on the field with

2798
02:20:58,520 --> 02:21:01,320
Speaker 2: twenty three seconds on the play clock. Then they apparently

2799
02:21:01,400 --> 02:21:04,199
Speaker 2: realize a send one of their specially conditioned k balls

2800
02:21:04,640 --> 02:21:07,440
Speaker 2: that's what's used for kicking plays onto the field, and

2801
02:21:07,520 --> 02:21:11,280
Speaker 2: what happens the play clock expires amid the confusion that

2802
02:21:11,440 --> 02:21:14,520
Speaker 2: can't happen in the National Football League. Then the delay

2803
02:21:14,600 --> 02:21:17,720
Speaker 2: penalty turned a fifty seven yard try into a sixty

2804
02:21:17,760 --> 02:21:20,640
Speaker 2: two yarder, which the Colts blocked, and Indie scored its

2805
02:21:20,680 --> 02:21:24,000
Speaker 2: own field goal before halftime, and they go in leading

2806
02:21:24,080 --> 02:21:27,440
Speaker 2: twenty to six instead of seventeen to nine. This came

2807
02:21:27,520 --> 02:21:31,280
Speaker 2: one possession after their coach, Brian Callahan called for a

2808
02:21:31,320 --> 02:21:34,280
Speaker 2: sixty four yard attempt which sealed wide rate and two

2809
02:21:34,320 --> 02:21:36,880
Speaker 2: weeks after Callah had admitted he did not know that

2810
02:21:37,040 --> 02:21:39,600
Speaker 2: getting one elbow down in bounds is sufficient for a

2811
02:21:39,680 --> 02:21:43,280
Speaker 2: completed pass. These are the type of mistakes that make

2812
02:21:43,400 --> 02:21:47,920
Speaker 2: losing coaches vulnerable right within their own buildings. And so

2813
02:21:48,200 --> 02:21:51,200
Speaker 2: unless they all get on the same page in Tennessee,

2814
02:21:51,879 --> 02:21:56,360
Speaker 2: I gotta say no one has changed more GMS coaches

2815
02:21:57,200 --> 02:22:03,039
Speaker 2: or what in the last three years. It's incredible. They

2816
02:22:03,160 --> 02:22:07,680
Speaker 2: fired one, two, three, four GMS and three head coaches

2817
02:22:08,360 --> 02:22:11,000
Speaker 2: and now this week Brian Callahan said he'll give up

2818
02:22:11,000 --> 02:22:15,720
Speaker 2: his play calling. Total disorganization. Look the New York Giants. Look,

2819
02:22:16,840 --> 02:22:19,920
Speaker 2: they have more red zone drives, inning and downs than

2820
02:22:20,040 --> 02:22:24,200
Speaker 2: touchdowns and inconsistent offense. The defense is even ranked lower.

2821
02:22:24,640 --> 02:22:27,320
Speaker 2: You heard the New York caller Brian Dables betting on

2822
02:22:27,640 --> 02:22:30,959
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart to save his job. We'll see what happens. Finally,

2823
02:22:30,959 --> 02:22:32,440
Speaker 2: the Saints. I just think the Saints are in a

2824
02:22:32,520 --> 02:22:37,040
Speaker 2: rebuild and they're playing hard. They're actually being competitive. I mean,

2825
02:22:37,080 --> 02:22:39,520
Speaker 2: they got smoked by Seattle last week, but they really

2826
02:22:39,600 --> 02:22:42,880
Speaker 2: hung in there. With San Francisco and Arizona, I think

2827
02:22:42,879 --> 02:22:46,000
Speaker 2: they're just in a rebuild. So those are your winless teams,

2828
02:22:46,120 --> 02:22:49,960
Speaker 2: and there's still plenty of time. Hope springs Eturnal we

2829
02:22:50,040 --> 02:22:53,160
Speaker 2: covered all on the Bernie Frattle Show. So in addition

2830
02:22:53,320 --> 02:22:56,160
Speaker 2: to football, which is American football, even though he played

2831
02:22:56,200 --> 02:22:59,520
Speaker 2: overseas and kicks off in about four hours here Vikings

2832
02:22:59,560 --> 02:23:04,840
Speaker 2: in Steel, we also cover the football spelled futbol that

2833
02:23:04,959 --> 02:23:08,800
Speaker 2: we refer to as soccer in the United States. It's

2834
02:23:08,879 --> 02:23:10,480
Speaker 2: time Christ prophets world of soccer.

2835
02:23:11,800 --> 02:23:22,400
Speaker 1: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama.

2836
02:23:27,640 --> 02:23:31,080
Speaker 5: It's all here in this report. From the world of soccer.

2837
02:23:31,480 --> 02:23:33,600
Speaker 18: Some interesting things going on in the world of soccer

2838
02:23:33,680 --> 02:23:36,879
Speaker 18: burning Let's start with a couple quick notes. Liverpool suffered

2839
02:23:36,879 --> 02:23:40,000
Speaker 18: their first loss of the Premier League season, a two

2840
02:23:40,000 --> 02:23:44,640
Speaker 18: to one to Crystal Palace. As Crystal Palace picks up

2841
02:23:44,680 --> 02:23:48,560
Speaker 18: that win at home, Manchester City keeps rolling well, Manchester

2842
02:23:48,760 --> 02:23:53,240
Speaker 18: United keeps falling further and further into more despair. They

2843
02:23:53,360 --> 02:23:56,480
Speaker 18: give up a three to one loss to Brentford. Still

2844
02:23:56,520 --> 02:23:59,840
Speaker 18: only seven points on the year for the Red Devils

2845
02:24:00,200 --> 02:24:03,400
Speaker 18: as they sit at a comfortable fourteenth on the table

2846
02:24:03,560 --> 02:24:07,640
Speaker 18: right now. Not quite not quite in relegation territory this early,

2847
02:24:07,840 --> 02:24:11,840
Speaker 18: but certainly one there to keep in mind. Crystal Palace

2848
02:24:11,879 --> 02:24:14,000
Speaker 18: we mentioned earlier, by the way, second on the table

2849
02:24:14,120 --> 02:24:16,920
Speaker 18: right now. Interesting to see if they'll keep it together.

2850
02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:19,280
Speaker 18: I've long been a fan of Crystal Palace and how

2851
02:24:19,360 --> 02:24:21,440
Speaker 18: they have been building their roster. But I do want

2852
02:24:21,480 --> 02:24:24,040
Speaker 18: to take the world of soccer state side. We have

2853
02:24:24,160 --> 02:24:27,000
Speaker 18: not talked about MLS much this year, owing to the

2854
02:24:27,080 --> 02:24:30,360
Speaker 18: fact that this European calendar has been incredibly busy. The

2855
02:24:30,440 --> 02:24:33,520
Speaker 18: international breaks have really caught up to us, and the

2856
02:24:33,640 --> 02:24:37,360
Speaker 18: Club World Cup really gummed up a lot of things,

2857
02:24:37,400 --> 02:24:39,680
Speaker 18: so there really wasn't a lot of time for MLS

2858
02:24:39,760 --> 02:24:42,200
Speaker 18: to make its mark, and now we are sitting here

2859
02:24:42,400 --> 02:24:47,080
Speaker 18: at I believe three more weekends to go after this

2860
02:24:47,360 --> 02:24:51,800
Speaker 18: current one is all that's left before MLS starts going

2861
02:24:51,920 --> 02:24:53,280
Speaker 18: to the MLS Cup playoffs.

2862
02:24:53,800 --> 02:24:56,560
Speaker 5: And the Supporters Shield is a big deal.

2863
02:24:56,600 --> 02:24:58,960
Speaker 18: And the Supporter Shield, for those who don't know, is

2864
02:24:59,080 --> 02:25:03,039
Speaker 18: usually how other leagues around the world determine their domestic

2865
02:25:03,200 --> 02:25:06,120
Speaker 18: champion by points by the points leader at the end

2866
02:25:06,200 --> 02:25:09,680
Speaker 18: of the season. Soccer is a marathon, not a sprint

2867
02:25:10,120 --> 02:25:13,199
Speaker 18: for many many people out there, so the Supporter Shield

2868
02:25:13,520 --> 02:25:16,879
Speaker 18: is incredibly important, almost as important as the MLS Cup

2869
02:25:16,959 --> 02:25:22,760
Speaker 18: itself in the annals of MLS. The current reigning title

2870
02:25:23,680 --> 02:25:27,600
Speaker 18: for that Supporter Shield is Intero Miami and a real

2871
02:25:27,879 --> 02:25:33,039
Speaker 18: critical draw on Saturday might have denied them a chance

2872
02:25:33,120 --> 02:25:37,439
Speaker 18: to go back to back and unfortunately it's some frustration

2873
02:25:37,760 --> 02:25:43,200
Speaker 18: for one Lionel Messi, who has been enjoying as a

2874
02:25:43,440 --> 02:25:46,640
Speaker 18: decent season for him. He's played thirty nine games, thirty.

2875
02:25:46,400 --> 02:25:49,039
Speaker 5: Two goals, sixteen assists so far.

2876
02:25:49,040 --> 02:25:53,280
Speaker 18: On the twenty twenty five tally board there but did

2877
02:25:53,480 --> 02:25:58,000
Speaker 18: not get in against Toronto FC despite having four shots

2878
02:25:58,120 --> 02:26:02,560
Speaker 18: on goal in this matchup one to one the final

2879
02:26:02,760 --> 02:26:05,640
Speaker 18: score there. And like I said, there's only a few

2880
02:26:05,680 --> 02:26:09,080
Speaker 18: more weeks. Inter Miami's got only four more matches to

2881
02:26:09,240 --> 02:26:13,080
Speaker 18: play to make up ground. They sit at fifty six points,

2882
02:26:13,600 --> 02:26:19,760
Speaker 18: sitting them in the in the standings for the Supporter Shield,

2883
02:26:20,240 --> 02:26:24,959
Speaker 18: behind San Diego FC at fifty seven, behind Philadelphia Union

2884
02:26:25,080 --> 02:26:28,360
Speaker 18: at sixty and FC Cincinnati at fifty eight.

2885
02:26:28,600 --> 02:26:31,000
Speaker 5: Now all of those clubs have played one more match

2886
02:26:31,320 --> 02:26:32,680
Speaker 5: that Inter Miami has.

2887
02:26:33,200 --> 02:26:36,600
Speaker 18: But at the same time, it's not really looking pretty,

2888
02:26:36,680 --> 02:26:41,040
Speaker 18: especially when Philadelphia Union in San Diego FC are both

2889
02:26:41,200 --> 02:26:45,400
Speaker 18: really looking to be also clinching those number ones, trying

2890
02:26:45,480 --> 02:26:47,640
Speaker 18: to really battle to make sure they have those number

2891
02:26:47,680 --> 02:26:50,920
Speaker 18: one seeds for the MLS Cup playoffs as well, and

2892
02:26:51,200 --> 02:26:55,080
Speaker 18: of course Cincinnati will be in the hunt against Philadelphia.

2893
02:26:55,320 --> 02:26:57,480
Speaker 18: This is to say nothing about the other teams that

2894
02:26:57,600 --> 02:27:01,920
Speaker 18: are actually bucking up here. Vancouver White Cap also thirty games,

2895
02:27:01,959 --> 02:27:06,400
Speaker 18: played fifty six points with another outside chance looking in

2896
02:27:06,879 --> 02:27:10,360
Speaker 18: on the Supporters Shield. It's actually the most competitive I

2897
02:27:10,440 --> 02:27:13,200
Speaker 18: think we've seen the end of the year for MLS here.

2898
02:27:13,600 --> 02:27:16,320
Speaker 18: Usually there's been a runaway team that usually picks up

2899
02:27:16,320 --> 02:27:19,840
Speaker 18: the Supporters Shield and sometimes also the Cups more often

2900
02:27:19,879 --> 02:27:24,680
Speaker 18: than not, usually not because playoff formats are inherently less

2901
02:27:25,240 --> 02:27:29,120
Speaker 18: about determining the best team through volume as much as

2902
02:27:29,160 --> 02:27:32,520
Speaker 18: it is getting an exciting result for television at the

2903
02:27:32,640 --> 02:27:35,880
Speaker 18: end of the day. But with supporter shield, the chances

2904
02:27:36,440 --> 02:27:39,959
Speaker 18: fading for inter Miami, who have clinched a playoff spot,

2905
02:27:40,040 --> 02:27:42,000
Speaker 18: I think there is a good question as to what

2906
02:27:42,160 --> 02:27:45,080
Speaker 18: do they really want to focus on right now. Obviously

2907
02:27:45,360 --> 02:27:49,280
Speaker 18: like keep going, but let's say that Philadelphia Union goes

2908
02:27:49,360 --> 02:27:53,680
Speaker 18: out and has two more wins and just really buries

2909
02:27:53,720 --> 02:27:56,360
Speaker 18: you deep. I think at that point you just got

2910
02:27:56,480 --> 02:27:59,120
Speaker 18: to just throw up your hands and start preparing for

2911
02:27:59,360 --> 02:28:03,360
Speaker 18: the Mlscup itself, because the worst thing to happen inter

2912
02:28:03,480 --> 02:28:07,119
Speaker 18: Miami would be Lionelle Messi taking some sort of injury

2913
02:28:07,160 --> 02:28:12,720
Speaker 18: and not being available for these late autumn games into

2914
02:28:12,800 --> 02:28:16,600
Speaker 18: the winter that MLS plays for its championship. And one

2915
02:28:16,640 --> 02:28:19,200
Speaker 18: more note before we get out of here, Bernie Harry

2916
02:28:19,320 --> 02:28:24,240
Speaker 18: Kane back to Europe on Friday a four nil destruction

2917
02:28:24,920 --> 02:28:29,080
Speaker 18: of Bremen by Bayern Munich, and in there Harry Kane

2918
02:28:29,200 --> 02:28:32,680
Speaker 18: scored his one hundredth goal for Bayern Munich.

2919
02:28:32,720 --> 02:28:33,959
Speaker 5: He's had a lot more throughout his.

2920
02:28:34,040 --> 02:28:37,680
Speaker 18: Career, but to really continue to cement the greatness of

2921
02:28:37,840 --> 02:28:44,160
Speaker 18: Harry Kane, He's sent benchmark. He actually out passed Earling

2922
02:28:44,280 --> 02:28:48,880
Speaker 18: Holland and Cristiano Ronaldo as being the fastest man to

2923
02:28:49,120 --> 02:28:53,520
Speaker 18: hit one hundred goals for a club in Europe. He

2924
02:28:53,720 --> 02:28:58,040
Speaker 18: did it in just one hundred and four matches. Holland

2925
02:28:58,040 --> 02:29:00,520
Speaker 18: and Ronaldo did it in one hundred and five. And

2926
02:29:00,600 --> 02:29:03,800
Speaker 18: we must also emphasize that Harry Kane at this point

2927
02:29:04,320 --> 02:29:08,560
Speaker 18: is thirty two. I know he plays in the Dundesliga.

2928
02:29:08,920 --> 02:29:11,480
Speaker 18: I know that's not the premier league, but right now

2929
02:29:11,879 --> 02:29:15,160
Speaker 18: it's safe to say Harry Kane still even in this

2930
02:29:15,480 --> 02:29:18,160
Speaker 18: in his thirties, one of the best players in the

2931
02:29:18,280 --> 02:29:21,320
Speaker 18: world period and it doesn't look like he's stopping anytime soon.

2932
02:29:21,520 --> 02:29:23,160
Speaker 18: That'll do it for us, Bernie, We'll see you next

2933
02:29:23,200 --> 02:29:24,080
Speaker 18: time in the world of soccer.

2934
02:29:25,360 --> 02:29:29,440
Speaker 2: You know, I actually saw Harry Kane. True story may

2935
02:29:29,520 --> 02:29:31,600
Speaker 2: have twenty twenty four is with my wife in London.

2936
02:29:31,720 --> 02:29:35,120
Speaker 2: We got the tour of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It was

2937
02:29:35,240 --> 02:29:40,480
Speaker 2: right before he departed onto bigger and better things coming up.

2938
02:29:40,600 --> 02:29:44,200
Speaker 2: We wrap up the show and believe it or not,

2939
02:29:44,320 --> 02:29:47,360
Speaker 2: today is the last day of the regular season in

2940
02:29:47,760 --> 02:29:52,720
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, and there were some very interesting, notable,

2941
02:29:54,959 --> 02:29:59,560
Speaker 2: not necessarily events, but notable observations that took place in

2942
02:29:59,640 --> 02:30:01,160
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty five season. I want to share with

2943
02:30:01,200 --> 02:30:02,640
Speaker 2: you a little off the grid. And by the way,

2944
02:30:03,120 --> 02:30:05,480
Speaker 2: I know Dodgers fans and we broadcast in five to

2945
02:30:05,520 --> 02:30:09,360
Speaker 2: seventy in Los Angeles are worried. But they've been worried

2946
02:30:09,400 --> 02:30:11,480
Speaker 2: since May when they were ten games over five hundred.

2947
02:30:11,520 --> 02:30:12,640
Speaker 2: They're worried about their bullpen.

2948
02:30:12,800 --> 02:30:13,200
Speaker 3: I get it.

2949
02:30:13,760 --> 02:30:16,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling the October baseball is different. I'm really not

2950
02:30:16,120 --> 02:30:18,040
Speaker 2: that worried about this Dodgers team. And I said the

2951
02:30:18,040 --> 02:30:20,360
Speaker 2: same thing last year. And I just want to leave

2952
02:30:20,400 --> 02:30:22,600
Speaker 2: you with this thought in case you missed it. Saturday night,

2953
02:30:22,680 --> 02:30:26,040
Speaker 2: the Dodgers' bullpen, who's been much maligned, ended the game

2954
02:30:26,080 --> 02:30:29,199
Speaker 2: against a very powerful Seattle lineup that included Cal Raley

2955
02:30:30,160 --> 02:30:34,160
Speaker 2: sixty home runs, Eugenio Suarez who forty nine Diggers, and

2956
02:30:34,240 --> 02:30:38,440
Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez thirty two home runs. The Dodgers finished their

2957
02:30:38,520 --> 02:30:41,880
Speaker 2: bullpen checked out. Their bullpen wrapped up the game Saturday

2958
02:30:41,959 --> 02:30:48,080
Speaker 2: against Seattle with nine straight strikeouts trying and gave up

2959
02:30:48,120 --> 02:30:50,119
Speaker 2: a hit. The three k's in a row, Vessia three

2960
02:30:50,240 --> 02:30:53,800
Speaker 2: more and Henriquez three straight in the bottom of the ninth.

2961
02:30:53,879 --> 02:30:56,880
Speaker 2: His last pitcher was one hundred and two miles an hour. Yeah,

2962
02:30:56,920 --> 02:30:58,440
Speaker 2: I know you didn't see that coming. It might be

2963
02:30:58,480 --> 02:31:02,280
Speaker 2: an understatement, but I got nine in a row, your

2964
02:31:02,320 --> 02:31:05,160
Speaker 2: bullpen against the first place team with all their starters playing.

2965
02:31:05,200 --> 02:31:07,440
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, well Tany had the day off.

2966
02:31:08,480 --> 02:31:11,520
Speaker 2: Don't go to sleep on this Dodgers team. And I

2967
02:31:11,920 --> 02:31:15,520
Speaker 2: mean that. Coming up, we wrap up the show, and again,

2968
02:31:16,200 --> 02:31:19,120
Speaker 2: in light of a heavy football Sunday, which we've covered

2969
02:31:19,120 --> 02:31:23,640
Speaker 2: a lot tonight, we have to recognize some notable observations

2970
02:31:23,680 --> 02:31:26,400
Speaker 2: from the twenty twenty five Major League Baseball season. I

2971
02:31:26,440 --> 02:31:28,160
Speaker 2: think you'd get a kick out of some of these. Hi,

2972
02:31:28,240 --> 02:31:30,280
Speaker 2: Bernie Fradder would company line from the Las Vegas Fox

Speaker 2: hours and forty five minutes. We got the NFL, and

2980
02:31:53,720 --> 02:31:56,760
Speaker 2: this is also the last Sunday of Major League Baseball.

Speaker 2: By the way, I don't want to forget. Be sure

2987
02:32:20,840 --> 02:32:29,560

2988
02:32:29,640 --> 02:32:32,400
Speaker 2: as well as Baltimore, Boston, New York for the right

2989
02:32:32,480 --> 02:32:36,040
Speaker 2: to play Toronto and Seattle, the National League Dodgers and

2990
02:32:36,080 --> 02:32:38,400
Speaker 2: Cincinnati for the right to play Philadelphia, the Patterys and

2991
02:32:38,400 --> 02:32:39,920
Speaker 2: Cubs the right to play the Brewers. But we're going

2992
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:42,720
Speaker 2: to get into some season clinching scenarios because that can

2993
02:32:42,840 --> 02:32:45,880
Speaker 2: change Sunday, the last day has to be played. But

2994
02:32:45,959 --> 02:32:49,360
Speaker 2: before I get to that, as I mentioned earlier, I

2995
02:32:49,480 --> 02:32:54,280
Speaker 2: think there were some fairly amazing notables that we you

2996
02:32:54,360 --> 02:32:58,200
Speaker 2: can truly you know, put in the category of takeaways.

2997
02:32:58,320 --> 02:33:01,040
Speaker 2: Key takeaways from the twenty twenty five season. Now we

2998
02:33:01,120 --> 02:33:04,000
Speaker 2: know money alone can buy a title. But you know what,

2999
02:33:04,080 --> 02:33:08,480
Speaker 2: we're finding out a can buy regular season success, and

3000
02:33:08,640 --> 02:33:11,840
Speaker 2: with regular season success that leads to more butts and seats,

3001
02:33:12,200 --> 02:33:16,600
Speaker 2: which leads to increased revenues. Just consider this. The teams

3002
02:33:16,840 --> 02:33:24,080
Speaker 2: with the highest attendance through yesterday where the Dodgers, the Potteries,

3003
02:33:24,080 --> 02:33:28,360
Speaker 2: the Yankees, the Phillies and the Mets, which coincide that

3004
02:33:28,520 --> 02:33:33,280
Speaker 2: all five are the five highest payrolls dodgors through four

3005
02:33:33,360 --> 02:33:36,840
Speaker 2: million fans this year. It's incredible. The Pottery is three

3006
02:33:36,879 --> 02:33:38,920
Speaker 2: point three million, the Yankees three point two million, the

3007
02:33:38,959 --> 02:33:42,360
Speaker 2: Phillies three point two million, and the Mets also just

3008
02:33:42,640 --> 02:33:45,680
Speaker 2: under three point two million. One of the things these

3009
02:33:45,760 --> 02:33:48,520
Speaker 2: teams have in common. All five of these teams have

3010
02:33:48,680 --> 02:33:53,240
Speaker 2: at least two players who are three hundred million dollar contracts.

3011
02:33:53,920 --> 02:33:56,560
Speaker 2: The New York Mets have Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor.

3012
02:33:57,720 --> 02:34:01,120
Speaker 2: The Phillies have Bryce Harper and tren The Yankees have

3013
02:34:01,480 --> 02:34:07,640
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge, Garrett Cole Stanton, Gan Carlos Stanton. The Potteries

3014
02:34:07,680 --> 02:34:11,120
Speaker 2: have mashadow to Teas and Bogarts to Andr Bogart's, and

3015
02:34:11,200 --> 02:34:15,520
Speaker 2: the Doctors have three o'tani Bets and Yamamoto, even though

3016
02:34:15,560 --> 02:34:18,000
Speaker 2: ya Momoto hasn't panned out. But when you consider you

3017
02:34:18,080 --> 02:34:21,160
Speaker 2: spend money on these players, you typically win more regular

3018
02:34:21,200 --> 02:34:24,400
Speaker 2: season games and you put more butts in seats, which

3019
02:34:24,480 --> 02:34:26,920
Speaker 2: leads to lots more revenues. Not only one of those

3020
02:34:26,959 --> 02:34:30,800
Speaker 2: five teams or maybe none of them will can can

3021
02:34:30,920 --> 02:34:35,880
Speaker 2: win all are in the postseason. Aaron Judge continues to

3022
02:34:35,959 --> 02:34:38,840
Speaker 2: make history, and he seems like he's doing it somewhat

3023
02:34:38,920 --> 02:34:42,320
Speaker 2: under the radar now. The Yankees, in their history twenty

3024
02:34:42,400 --> 02:34:46,119
Speaker 2: seven World championships, have had their share of boppers, right

3025
02:34:46,680 --> 02:34:50,240
Speaker 2: Joe Demaggio, Lou Garrett, Mickey Manno, Babe Ruth. Aaron Judge

3026
02:34:50,320 --> 02:34:55,200
Speaker 2: is moving up that list now. This season, and this

3027
02:34:55,360 --> 02:34:58,920
Speaker 2: is only Aaron Judge's eighth season in the major leagues,

3028
02:35:00,720 --> 02:35:05,480
Speaker 2: he passed Luke Gerrigg and Joe DiMaggio for the most

3029
02:35:06,480 --> 02:35:09,480
Speaker 2: multi home run games. He has forty six. He's tied

3030
02:35:09,560 --> 02:35:12,080
Speaker 2: Mickey Mantle. It took Mantle sixteen seasons to do it.

3031
02:35:12,600 --> 02:35:15,160
Speaker 2: Babe Ruth had sixty eight multiple home run games in

3032
02:35:15,240 --> 02:35:20,680
Speaker 2: fourteen seasons, but Aaron Judge is averaging about six per season,

3033
02:35:21,520 --> 02:35:23,959
Speaker 2: so in six more seasons he's going to pass Babe

3034
02:35:24,000 --> 02:35:29,160
Speaker 2: Ruth Judge will also join after this season. Mickey Mannlin

3035
02:35:29,240 --> 02:35:31,800
Speaker 2: Jimmy Fox is the only players to win the batting

3036
02:35:31,879 --> 02:35:35,840
Speaker 2: title and in fifty home runs in the same season,

3037
02:35:37,080 --> 02:35:40,040
Speaker 2: only the fourth player in history to have four seasons

3038
02:35:40,800 --> 02:35:42,960
Speaker 2: of fifty home runs or more in the second in

3039
02:35:43,040 --> 02:35:46,560
Speaker 2: the Yankees history. You know, alongside Babe Ruth so Aaron

3040
02:35:46,680 --> 02:35:49,560
Speaker 2: Judge making tremendous history.

3041
02:35:49,680 --> 02:35:52,200
Speaker 3: Who else made history this year? Cal Raley?

3042
02:35:52,400 --> 02:35:55,160
Speaker 2: I just mentioned him. How about that cal Raley sixty

3043
02:35:55,200 --> 02:35:58,600
Speaker 2: home runs, the most ever by a switch hitter and

3044
02:35:58,680 --> 02:36:01,960
Speaker 2: the most ever by a catcher. And what's interesting is

3045
02:36:02,400 --> 02:36:05,360
Speaker 2: go back and google a headlines. Everybody said that Seattle

3046
02:36:05,560 --> 02:36:11,080
Speaker 2: overpaid cal Rally when they extended him. What happened was

3047
02:36:11,120 --> 02:36:13,440
Speaker 2: they agreed to a five point six million dollars salary

3048
02:36:13,840 --> 02:36:18,120
Speaker 2: in January to avoid arbitration, but then they extended him

3049
02:36:18,160 --> 02:36:20,280
Speaker 2: for five more years in ninety nine million, which gave

3050
02:36:20,320 --> 02:36:22,680
Speaker 2: Hi one hundred and five million for six years. He's

3051
02:36:22,720 --> 02:36:28,080
Speaker 2: paid for that contract in five months, even AI agrees.

3052
02:36:28,560 --> 02:36:32,280
Speaker 2: Quote reports on analysis of September twenty five conclude that

3053
02:36:32,400 --> 02:36:34,800
Speaker 2: cal Raley's six year, one hundred and five million dollar

3054
02:36:34,879 --> 02:36:37,960
Speaker 2: extension has already paid for itself and everybody criticized it.

3055
02:36:38,480 --> 02:36:43,720
Speaker 2: Another guy toiling in relative obscurity is Paul Skeens, the

3056
02:36:43,800 --> 02:36:46,760
Speaker 2: Pitchburg Pirate stud who was just a couple of years

3057
02:36:46,800 --> 02:36:51,959
Speaker 2: removed from winning a national championship for LSU. Paul Skeens

3058
02:36:53,360 --> 02:36:54,959
Speaker 2: must have done under the radar, because I don't hear

3059
02:36:54,959 --> 02:36:58,400
Speaker 2: anybody talking about it. Finished the twenty twenty five Major

3060
02:36:58,480 --> 02:37:01,520
Speaker 2: League Baseball season with a one point nine to seven

3061
02:37:01,640 --> 02:37:06,280
Speaker 2: ERA and became the first qualified pitcher in Major League

3062
02:37:06,320 --> 02:37:10,080
Speaker 2: Baseball history to do this. In his first two seasons,

3063
02:37:10,560 --> 02:37:14,960
Speaker 2: he recorded back to back seasons with an ERA of

3064
02:37:15,120 --> 02:37:18,520
Speaker 2: under two. Now to qualify for that, you have to

3065
02:37:18,600 --> 02:37:21,760
Speaker 2: have had at least one hundred innings pitched. He's also

3066
02:37:21,920 --> 02:37:27,640
Speaker 2: averaging ten strikeouts per nine innings. Paul Skeen's career ERA,

3067
02:37:27,879 --> 02:37:30,440
Speaker 2: he's had fifty five starts as a major Leaguer's not

3068
02:37:30,480 --> 02:37:34,200
Speaker 2: a small sample to decent size is one point nine

3069
02:37:34,200 --> 02:37:37,520
Speaker 2: to six. That is the lowest mark in Major League

3070
02:37:37,520 --> 02:37:41,200
Speaker 2: Baseball in one hundred and five years. And he's doing

3071
02:37:41,240 --> 02:37:45,360
Speaker 2: it for the Pittsburgh Pirates. By the way, you keep

3072
02:37:45,440 --> 02:37:49,960
Speaker 2: hearing about this Cleveland. The Cleveland Guardians are on the

3073
02:37:50,040 --> 02:37:52,680
Speaker 2: verge of making up the largest deficit. They trailed the

3074
02:37:52,800 --> 02:37:56,840
Speaker 2: Tigers by fifteen and a half games in major League history,

3075
02:37:57,080 --> 02:37:59,480
Speaker 2: but it's not really major league history because the Yankees

3076
02:38:00,560 --> 02:38:02,440
Speaker 2: Boston trail the Yankees by more than that in seventy

3077
02:38:02,520 --> 02:38:03,800
Speaker 2: But here's where I'm going with that. And by the way,

3078
02:38:03,800 --> 02:38:08,160
Speaker 2: it's kind of anim climactic now because both the Tigers

3079
02:38:08,200 --> 02:38:11,160
Speaker 2: and the Guardians have clinched their punchter ticket to the playoffs.

3080
02:38:11,920 --> 02:38:14,480
Speaker 2: What you have to watch for, though, is the Guardians

3081
02:38:14,520 --> 02:38:17,400
Speaker 2: can clinch the AL Central with a win over the

3082
02:38:17,520 --> 02:38:20,120
Speaker 2: Rangers or a Tiger's loss to the Red Sox. Now,

3083
02:38:20,160 --> 02:38:22,600
Speaker 2: if both the Tigers and the Guardians win later today,

3084
02:38:23,120 --> 02:38:26,240
Speaker 2: the Guardians will win the AL Central by virtue of

3085
02:38:26,360 --> 02:38:28,480
Speaker 2: the fact they owned the tiebreaker. The only way that

3086
02:38:28,520 --> 02:38:31,160
Speaker 2: Tigers can clinch the AL Central is with a win

3087
02:38:32,000 --> 02:38:33,160
Speaker 2: and a Guardian's loss.

3088
02:38:33,879 --> 02:38:37,320
Speaker 3: So there's that. The Toronto Blue Jays.

3089
02:38:37,440 --> 02:38:40,680
Speaker 2: Can clinch the AL East with a win over the

3090
02:38:40,760 --> 02:38:44,680
Speaker 2: Rays or a Yankees lost to the Orioles, so the

3091
02:38:44,760 --> 02:38:48,520
Speaker 2: AL East last day of the season is still not decided.

3092
02:38:50,240 --> 02:38:54,920
Speaker 2: The Reds the Cincinnati redge can clinch an NL wild

3093
02:38:55,000 --> 02:39:00,160
Speaker 2: card spot with a win over the Brewers or a

3094
02:39:00,280 --> 02:39:03,000
Speaker 2: Mets lost to the Marlins, and I know that I

3095
02:39:03,080 --> 02:39:05,640
Speaker 2: know some Mets fans that are just living and dying

3096
02:39:05,720 --> 02:39:09,600
Speaker 2: on every pitch, probably including our good buddy Jason Smith.

3097
02:39:10,080 --> 02:39:12,480
Speaker 2: I'm sure this will determine his mood on Monday night.

3098
02:39:12,920 --> 02:39:15,680
Speaker 2: Come on, you can't tell me that baseball postseason isn't

3099
02:39:15,720 --> 02:39:17,320
Speaker 2: better with both the Mets and the Yankees in it,

3100
02:39:17,360 --> 02:39:21,080
Speaker 2: whether you like him or hate him. Right again, the Yankees,

3101
02:39:21,560 --> 02:39:24,680
Speaker 2: they're still alive. They can clinch the Al East with

3102
02:39:24,800 --> 02:39:28,920
Speaker 2: a win and a Blue Jays loss. And again repeating myself,

3103
02:39:29,000 --> 02:39:31,280
Speaker 2: but now the Mets, they can clinch it in a

3104
02:39:31,400 --> 02:39:34,520
Speaker 2: wild card spot if they win and the Reds lose.

3105
02:39:34,600 --> 02:39:37,360
Speaker 3: So a lot has to happen. So in addition to a.

3106
02:39:37,400 --> 02:39:42,240
Speaker 2: Great NFL Sunday, we've got a pretty busy baseball Sunday

3107
02:39:42,400 --> 02:39:45,920
Speaker 2: as well. By this time tomorrow night, the playoffs and

3108
02:39:46,000 --> 02:39:48,240
Speaker 2: the brackets will be decided, will be rare and to

3109
02:39:48,320 --> 02:39:49,800
Speaker 2: go on Tuesday. It's gonna do it for the Bernie

3110

Speaker 2: Frattles Show. Keep it locked up next the great Andy
