1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Do're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: Tyrat dot com the way tire buying should be. When

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: it comes to college football Saturday night, it's like, where

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: do we begin. Well, I think there's going to be

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: a recurring theme because the stories right themselves. There will

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: be two schools we have to talk about every week.

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes it'll be a short conversation, sometimes it'll be a

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: lengthier conversation. But those schools are Colorado and Michigan. And

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: for you history busts, it's almost thirty years of the day.

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: I was at the game in ann Arbor when when

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: Cordell Stewart threw this ball about seventy yards in the

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: year it was caught by Michael Westbrook coincidentally's from Detroit

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: or ironically from Detroit, play high school football in Detroit,

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: and they beat the number four ranked Michigan Wolverines.

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: That day.

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: In the last second heroic play sound familier. All right,

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: let's talk about Colorado for just a second, because regardless

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: of what the record ends up being this year, and

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just say it, they're not one of the

26
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: nation's better teams. And I will be shocked, beyond shocked

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: if somehow they're in the college football playoff. However, for

28
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: one reason or another, and you know what the reasons are,

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: you cannot ignore the Colorado Buffaloes, just a couple hours

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: ago offered the latest example of their electric presence and aura.

31
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: And they're finished against Baylor that once again leaves you

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: scratching your head. The Buffs trailing by seven and the

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: dying seconds. Shador Sanders somehow avoids a pass rush through

34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: an absolute dart forty three hours down the field, unfortunately

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: hit Will Sheppard in the jersey and he dropped it.

36
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: He laid on the ground and the prostrate prostrate. And

37
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: I will say this, I looked at the clock. Oh oh,

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: there's still two seconds left. All right, I'm not turning

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: this off because you learn to expect the unexpected. And yes,

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: I you serious. Another forty three yard hail Mary. This

41
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: time found it's target, but that just got the buff

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: to overtime. The Buffs score first in overtime, and then,

43
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: oh yeah, you can't script it any better. Travis Hunter

44
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: forces a fumble on the goal line to secure an

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: improbable win for Coach Prime and the Buffaloes, who now

46
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: go to three and one. Three and one. We're gonna

47
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: be talking about Colorado all year. I don't know where

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: the hell this sends up. Darnath's thing I've ever seen.

49
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: I know people want Dave I Rand to fire. That

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: tells me a lot of people. But a Baylor I can't.

51
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: Colorado will get none of my money. But I won't

52
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: fade a eater. I mean, I know you're tired of

53
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: hearing me say it. You can script everything. Sports are

54
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: the greatest reality show. You can script everything, but the ending.

55
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: Before I get to Michigan, I want to give some

56
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: props to Tennessee. Why is no one talking about Tennessee.

57
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: Everybody's talking about Georgia justifiably, so, Alabama, Texas justifiably so.

58
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: Everybody's already. It's almost like we've got this Joe Lunardi

59
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: bracketology every week, whether you want it, or not. Tennessee

60
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: welcomed Oklahoma to the SEC Saturday, and it was a

61
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: very rude welcome. The balls. They were aggressive. They stifled Oklahoma.

62
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: Jackson Arnold, guy you've heard a lot about it as

63
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: a highly tied quarterback, ended up getting benched. Tennessee lived

64
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma's backfield from the jump. They forced Arnold into

65
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: three turnovers. They made Brenton venables, bringing a freshman who

66
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: I'd never heard of, Michael Hawkins. Hawkins ended up moving

67
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: the ball better than Arnold, and maybe Oklahoma fans who've

68
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: been used to having very good offenses over the years,

69
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: might you know, light their fire for a bit of

70
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: a time. But the twenty five to fifteen final score

71
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: line doesn't really tell the full story all right, because

72
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: the Sooners got a light touch down which tightened up

73
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: the margin. But the final numbers Tennessee's defense eleven tackles

74
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: for lost, three sacks, four quarterback hurries. Obviously, Oklahoma's offensive

75
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 2: line struggled. The Sooner defense did a little bit better

76
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 2: in slowing up the Volunteers attack, but they still put

77
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: up twenty five points. If you don't think Tennessee could

78
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: in theory win the championship. Think again, not predicting it,

79
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: but that's how good the SEC is. That's how good

80
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: Tennessee is. And props to Josh Hipel who made his

81
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: bones at Oklahoma. I believe he finished second in the

82
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: Heisman Trophy voting and a team the year the Sooners

83
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: won the national championship, left Oklahoma unceremoniously. Now head coach

84
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: at Tennessee. You know he had to love winning in

85
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: Oklahoma day Tennessee, getting the win and the way he

86
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: won the game. Let's get to the Michigan Wolverines. Damna

87
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: thing I've ever seen. You can't make this stuff up.

88
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: The last when you throw for thirty two yards, you're

89
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: passing numbers for the day. Are thirty two yards? Do

90
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: you expect to win that game? Interestingly enough, it's happened

91
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: three times now, three years in a row. Maybe he

92
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: didn't throw for a single yard two years ago and

93
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: they beat us UC at Central Florida. Last year, Army

94
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: threw for a wap in forty yards and somehow beat

95
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: Air Force. Those are the Navy. Look, those are the

96
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: Air Force. The military academies. Michigan through for thirty two

97
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: yards against USC and one if you look closely, though,

98
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: Michigan has their identity. All you got to do is

99
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: look back to nineteen seventy three and page bull Sham Beckler.

100
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 2: They're gonna run the ball. They're gonna run the ball.

101
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: They're gonna run the ball, and then they're gonna run

102
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: the ball some more, and they're gonna play defense and

103
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: stop you. They're in a punt play ball field position.

104
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: They're gonna run the ball every now and then they'll

105
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: really spice it up. You know, they'll fake right and

106
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: go left, or they'll fake right and go left. Really

107
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: dazzling stuff, really dazzling stuff. I feel like I'm watching

108
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: Molarry and Curly back in nineteen forty in the Three

109
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 2: Stuges football film. But it worked. It worked. Maybe Michigan

110
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 2: no longer has a midlife crisis. All right, alex Orgie

111
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: started at quarterback. That's what the fans wanted, That's what

112
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: the fans got. And I think you have to use

113
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: the term quarterback loosely. I was told alex Orgie was

114
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: a dual threat. He runs, kind of good runner. I

115
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: think he's a leader. You hear this young man talk.

116
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: He's brilliant. He's really articulate and well grounded. He's He's

117
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 2: a Michigan man. Trust me, I covered that program a

118
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: long time, but they don't really revolve their offense around Orgy. Again.

119
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: They told me he was a dual threat. What's the

120
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: second threat? He's kind of a runner. His Kalel Mullings

121
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: and the offensive line, they were brilliant that final driver.

122
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: Are you kidding? You? Take over at your own eleven

123
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: yard line, You're down four points with four minutes to play,

124
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: and you know they can't pass. They got a run.

125
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: But just when everybody's telling us, I'm not going to

126
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: mention any names, Colin Coward that this is finally the

127
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: year USC. I mean, Lincoln Riley, he could run for

128
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: president and win. He can be pope, he can do anything.

129
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: You can't make this stuff up. Michigan gets a quick

130
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: first down, Khalel Mullings breaks a sixty three yard epic run.

131
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: He broke multiple tackles, and boy, you knew that was

132
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: the USC you've known to come and hate the last

133
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: few years. You know they had Ronnie A. Lott and

134
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: Marcus Salen on the sidelines today. Let me tell you something.

135
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: I remember when USC was USC. That defense was an

136
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: NFL defense. Can you please dial up some defense? He

137
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: had this game one, but that run by Kalel Mullings

138
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: that all of a sudden set the Wolverines up inside

139
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: the twenty just like that, and that drive and essentially

140
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: the game ended seven plays later after yes, the aforementioned

141
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: Kalel Mullings dove into the end zone seven seconds left

142
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: on a fourth and goal. Make one stop that would

143
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: have made up for the sin of that sixty three

144
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: yard run. Michigan rand the ball six times inside the

145
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: seventeen yard line. They gained yardage every single time. How

146
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: in the hell this is possibly going to be sustainable?

147
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 2: I don't know, but don't tell that to their head

148
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: coached Sharon Moore, when he was told, you know, you

149
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: realize you just beat USC with thirty two passing yards.

150
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: Here's a quote. I love it. It's my dream. Sure

151
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: you dreamed about passing for thirty two yards only. And

152
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: Miller Moss is a real deal. He did throw the

153
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: one pick six. Give it up to Will Johnson. You

154
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: talk about a slabar knocker game. Those guys were getting

155
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: after hoh baby. But let's talk about the flip side

156
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: of the coin. It turns out that USC's habits they're

157
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: gonna die hard now. Lincoln Riley's first two seasons of USC,

158
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: no one can argue with me on this. They featured

159
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: some of the nation's worst defensive units. But then they

160
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: bring in D'Anton, Lennar's defensive coordinator. He paid immediate dividends

161
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: at least in their first two games against LSU and whoever.

162
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 2: And for most of the day, SE's defense was serviceable, serviceable,

163
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: and they tackle in space better. But when it mattered most,

164
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: when the heat was hot, it was hard to breathe

165
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: at the end of the game, those high leverage plays

166
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: in those final moments, USC's old bad habits reappeared at

167
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: the worst possible time. Gonna if you're a USC fan,

168
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 2: you have to have nightmares about that monster sixty three

169
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: yard run. He broke at least four tackles that I

170
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: could count, and that got the Wolverines inside the road zone.

171
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: And when that happened, I said, they're gonna finish his

172
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: game off. They're just gonna steamroll USC. USC knows it.

173
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: They're looking at each other. We can't stop these guys.

174
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: If that sixty three yard run doesn't happen. Well, I

175
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 2: think USC wins it again. If you're ahead, coolone, she'd

176
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: be your uncle. So the more things change, the more

177
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: they stay the same. Michigan's gonna run, USC's not gonna tack.

178
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: This guy was Dragon defenders. You can see the highlights.

179
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: Watch it, right, Mullings just would not be denied on

180
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 2: the fourth and goal from the one that spoils USC's

181
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: first game. Oh yet it was a big ten game.

182
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 2: How many times are they gonna mention that? Tato? It's

183
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: a conference game? Okay, we know, we know. Now. There

184
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 2: are plenty of positives to take from USC's debut in

185
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: their new conference. Miller Monks is the real deal, looked

186
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 2: very good in his first true road start, but the

187
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: defense failing to rise the occasion at the biggest moment. Well,

188
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if USC is a playoff team. If

189
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: you've got into my head right now, No, they're not.

190
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: A couple of other notes. You know, Clemson got their

191
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: butt handed to him against Georgia, but ever since then,

192
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: they've been scoring points right and left. Kate club Nick

193
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 2: all of a sudden's become an offensive juggernaut. After looking

194
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: lost in that opening blowout lost against the Bulldogs. Meanwhile,

195
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: give it up to Utah, first row game in the

196
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 2: Big Twelve, No problem. You know Cam Rising, what is

197
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: his thirteenth year at Utah, couldn't play, no problem. They

198
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: bringing an eighteen year old. He looked pretty sharp. Ohio State,

199
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: they're running rough shot. They had to Michigan State next week.

200
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: But they've got a freakish group of wide receivers, they've

201
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 2: got running backs, they've got a defense. On paper, I

202
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: think Ohio State might be the best team in the country.

203
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 2: So there's your college football update Colorado. Wow, can you

204
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: make this stuff up? No? You can, but you don't

205
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: need to because it's there. Michigan, same deal. Welcome to

223
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: need to.

224
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: Hear about, not with the only back to back Hilton

225
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: Super Contest winner Steve Zig Here's Bernie Frado.

226
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 2: Well veez good evening, and let's start here. I think

227
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 2: one of the smartest things a better can do is

228
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: fire on a game before Sunday rulls around. We both

229
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: know where you're going with this. Go ahead, take it away.

230
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: So I'm looking ahead to next week, Week four, and

231
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: my favorite bet on the card Bernie is to play

232
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 3: Green Bay hosting Minnesota. I'm not one hundred percent confident,

233
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: but I'm confident that Love will be back for that game.

234
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: So stop worrying about whether he's going to be back

235
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: this week, very very very unlikely. Let's play Green Bay

236
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: Week four, laying mines two and a half and over

237
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 3: forty two and a half two bets Week four that's

238
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 3: available at DraftKings.

239
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: And taking your advice much earlier in the week. I

240
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 2: fired on Detroit and Philadelphia and we'll get to those

241
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: later before we dive into this slate. We want to

242
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 2: get to all of them. Not a lot of teaser.

243
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: I mean, we know people love teasers. Very limited options

244
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: this week. Explain to the folks.

245
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 4: Why yeah, So.

246
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 3: When you tease and you have to play a six

247
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: point teaser minus one twenty, many places in Vegas, all

248
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 3: the places in Vegas charge more.

249
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: Than minus one twenty.

250
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: So teasers are done, though you don't want to play

251
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: them in Vegas. They'll take them, but they're sucker bets.

252
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: But places like DraftKings still have the good odds. I

253
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: like the chargers and the teaser. You've got that plus

254
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: two and a half updated and a half through the

255
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: key numbers of three through seven. You always want to

256
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 3: capture the stree numbers and you can pair it. Actually,

257
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: I really like this. The Bengals are laying seven and

258
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: a half at almost all the books. Monday Night, Bernie

259
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: at DraftKings, I got my seven lay Mius fifteen. Well

260
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: the minus fifteen doesn't even matter. It's the seven that's

261
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: all the matters.

262
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 4: And the teaser.

263
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: So you can tease the Bengals from miss seven down

264
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 3: to minus one. So the Chargers Bengals teaser would be

265
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: my favorite.

266
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: Of the week. And I want to remind Peo, but well,

267
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: you just said go three through seven both ways. Someone

268
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: asked me last week, Hey, what do you think about

269
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: teasing Dallas at seven down to a pick? I said,

270
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: don't do it. You might get away with it, but

271
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: don't do it. And look what happened When you break

272
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: the rules, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

273
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: This is all about trying to win money or le

274
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: stove into some of the games. Sunday Fays, I want

275
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: to start with the Ravens who visit Dallas. Cowboys a

276
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: short favorite. They've actually been a check that they're a

277
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: short dog. They've actually been a home dog five times

278
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: in the last five seasons, but they're four and one

279
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: in that situation as a home dog in the last

280
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: five seasons. I don't particularly like them on Sunday. Your thoughts.

281
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad you brought up the teaser idea because

282
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: when this line was pick them and you're right, Bernie,

283
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 3: all the money's coming in on Baltimore. Baltimore's now pretty

284
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: much minus one across the board. But I think tomorrow

285
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 3: Baltimore could go up to minus one and a half. Well,

286
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: big deal, minus one versus minus one and a half.

287
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: Very unlikely to land on one, but you know what,

288
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: rather likely to more much more likely to land on three, four, six,

289
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 3: or seven. So if Baltimore wins a close game, wait

290
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 3: for this line go up to one half and then

291
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: you can get you some Dallas cowboy teasers from one.

292
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 4: And a half up to seven and a half.

293
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: All right, do you have a thought on that game?

294
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: A lot of people I trust think Baltimore wins.

295
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 3: You know what, I am like the most boring guest

296
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: you'll ever have, And this is important because I'm a

297
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: sports betting guest. Here's what's wrong with the national media.

298
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: Everyone else is paid to have opinions, crazy, wild, outlandish takes,

299
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: and the truth, Bernie, is that almost all these lines

300
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: are really close to being correct, especially not necessarily on

301
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: Sunday night when there's a week before the games. But

302
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: by Saturday night, when you've only got, like you said,

303
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: eleven hours before game time, these lines have been so

304
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: picked over it is extremely rare you're going to get

305
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: a number that is off by any material amount.

306
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more people up marvel at how close the

307
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: numbers end up being. But look, there's so much data.

308
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: That's been a mass here in Las Vegas. There's only

309
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: what fifteen games every week? And we'll just leave it there,

310
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: all right, move on. The Saints have gone bananas ninety

311
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: one points the first two weeks, but they find themselves

312
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 2: also as a short home dog. They've covered the first

313
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: two games by whopping thirty two points. Are you buying

314
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 2: the Saints because I'm not full disclosure. I bet Philadelphia

315
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 2: earlier in the week, but I got them plus three

316
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 2: your thoughts?

317
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they're back to plus three.

318
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 3: So this is a fascinating game because I just talked

319
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 3: about how the market is efficient, Well, what makes the

320
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 3: market inefficients whenever you have really big outliers. So to

321
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 3: start the season, the Saints were supposed to win seven

322
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 3: and a half games. That was their season win number.

323
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 3: The Eagles were supposed to win ten point seventy five,

324
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 3: meaning anywhere from ten and a half to eleven. They

325
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 3: were not even in the same category. The Eagles were way,

326
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 3: way better than the Saints, and that's why in the

327
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 3: summer line, the Saints, as you mentioned, were a home

328
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 3: dog catching three points. Well, Bernie, now they're laying three points.

329
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 3: So you can go right after you hang up with

330
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 3: the on your show at three in the morning. They're

331
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 3: open all night. You can drive over to the South

332
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 3: Point and bet the Philadelphia Eagles plus three minus one

333
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: ten and that would indeed be my best bet on

334
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 3: the board this week.

335
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 2: I got him plus three earlier in the week. And

336
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: you know I had lunch with crack Man on Tuesday.

337
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: We talked about this game. I believe the send off

338
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 2: line before the season started was Saints minus two. When

339
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 2: you get a five point move like that, okay, we

340
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 2: got we gotta grab it the Rams. The beat up

341
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: Rams played the beat up forty nine ers, Rams catching

342
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 2: seven at home, another home dog forty nine Ers now

343
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: seventeen to nine. He gets the number of versus Division

344
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: folls the last five seasons. Not going to touch this game,

345
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: but believe it or not. I would only look to

346
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: the Niners that I'm not touching the game your thoughts.

347
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 3: So, lots of injuries for the Niners offense, obviously, Debo

348
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: is the most important to all. The stats say that

349
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 3: when he is out, the yards per play on the

350
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: offense really suffer. With all the cluster injuries on the line.

351
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: For the Rams, they do get one guy back from suspension,

352
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 3: and both are wide receivers injured as well. Both offenses

353
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 3: compromised and injured. I know that the emphasis is going

354
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 3: to be trying not to get anyone else hurt. Don't

355
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 3: run a hurry up. I played under you can still

356
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 3: get a forty four if you shot running up at

357
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: our friends at the win at forty four, But even

358
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: at forty three and a half, I could only look under.

359
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: No Cooper cup either who's staff are going to throw

360
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: the ball to other than the other team? A couple

361
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 2: of times?

362
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 3: That's possible, but exactly And you know what, You've got

363
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 3: two really really good coaches, and I think both coaches

364
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: understand shortened.

365
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 4: Again, this is an example.

366
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 3: If a team that's the ball at the end of

367
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 3: the first half on their own twenty five with sixty

368
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 3: seconds left, they're going to hand it off.

369
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 4: They're not even going to try to score.

370
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: It's an excellent point. That's an excellent point. All right.

371
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 2: The Kansas City Chiefs are two and er. But if

372
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: you listen to the group think echo chamber, you think

373
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: they're you know, somebody's vastard child Land three and a

374
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: half at Atlanta again, another home dog. Kansas City only

375
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 2: seventeen and twenty, though against some number as a road

376
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 2: favorite the last six seasons. Yes, you do pay a

377
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 2: chief tax when you bet them your thoughts, so.

378
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 3: People can and do when betting the NFL. And it's

379
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: really not that complicated. But you know, it's complicated winning

380
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 3: on Sunday because the Lions and we just talked about

381
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: how tight they are. So this was an example of

382
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 3: the game. I think the Falcons plus three and a

383
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 3: half were a solid fifty five percent wager. Now that

384
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: think about how good that is. That's you're gonna be

385
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 3: living on a golf course if you can make a

386
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 3: bunch of fifty five percent bets. But guess what, they're

387
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: not getting three and a half anymore. Now they're getting

388
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 3: plus three. So now you were going fifty five and

389
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 3: forty five Bernie, if you bet this one hundred times,

390
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 3: you're styling.

391
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 4: Guess what ten of those wins have become pushes.

392
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 3: Now you're forty five, forty five and ten at paying

393
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 3: the big no, thank you at three. If it goes

394
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: back to three and a half, bet the Falcons game,

395
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 3: I'm not going.

396
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: To be involved in, nor will I be involved in

397
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: this next game. Green Bay visits Tennessee. Tennessee is your

398
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 2: two point favorite. Tennessee is owing too, But they actually

399
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: won the stats battle in both of their games. But

400
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: I'm always concerned with the name that rhymes with Will Levis.

401
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, Yeah, so Levis has cost him both games.

402
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 4: You're spot on.

403
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 3: The Titans have won in the stats both games. I

404
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 3: gave my clients throw in the week the Titans, I

405
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 3: believe money line minus one, thirty five and minus two.

406
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 3: It's up to minus three because Love isn't going to

407
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: play and they just activated Clifford as a to be

408
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 3: eligible as a backup quarterback. I think here, here's one

409
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 3: thing you might want to do with this game, is

410
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 3: as soon as Love gets reported out and he's not

411
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: going to play, all right, The square balls that haven't

412
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 3: been following this all week long.

413
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 4: Are going to be like, oh my god, Love is out.

414
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 4: Bet the Titans and it could go all the way

415
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 4: up to three and a half. I make the game three.

416
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 3: So I like the Titans minus two. Hey, you give

417
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 3: me the Packers plus three and a half. I probably

418
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 3: could play something back at that price.

419
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think again, another game I'm not involved in that.

420
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 2: You see better opportunity on the board, faz Hang right there.

421
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 2: We got a lot of stuff to get to include

422
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 2: some including some closing thoughts. For first, let's go to

423

Speaker 6: Vandy missed a thirty one yard field goal attempt at

432
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 6: the end. Miszoo was three of six on field goals

433
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 6: but won the game. Vanderbilt had lost at Georgia State

434
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 6: the previous week nearly got the upset here. As for

00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 6: Boise with a possible first round NFL running back Ashton

463
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 6: genty on eleven carries. He had one hundred and twenty

464
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 6: seven yards tonight, and Hawaii has scored late third quarter

465
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 6: and now leads Northern Iowa in the late game twenty

466
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 6: nine to seven. They're into the fourth. And also we

467
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 6: had an upset today with Buffalo winning in overtime at

468
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 6: number twenty three Northern Illinois twenty three to twenty. Buffalo

469
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 6: had trailed fourteen to three early in the third quarter.

470
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 6: They have a linebacker Sean Dulac, who had nineteen tackles

471
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 6: and an interception today. At the upset, he'd had sixteen

472
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 6: tackles at Missouri, and the game on Fox TV tonight

473
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 6: had Colorado winning in overtime against Baylor thirty eight thirty

474
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 6: one after tying the game on the Hail Mary pass

475
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 6: at the end of regulation. NASCAR win at Bristol for

476
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 6: Kyle Larson Baseball a battle week left in the season.

477
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 6: San Diego won Dodgers law so LA's lead in the

478
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 6: NL West is down to three games over the Padres.

479
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 6: Sho heey Otani did have stolen base number fifty three.

480
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 6: Starting on Tuesday, Padres at Dodgers, Mets and Braves each one.

481
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 6: Braves still two games out of the last NL wildcard spot.

482
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 6: Starting on Tuesday, Mets at Braves, Yankees won easily. Baltimore

483
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 6: lost in ten innings. Yankees first in the AL East,

484
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 6: five games now ahead of Baltimore. Starting on Tuesday, Baltimore

485
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 6: at the Yankees and finally to the NFL forty nine Ers,

486
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 6: tight end George Kittle out Sunday with a hamstring injury

487
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 6: and Texan's running back Joe Mixon out with an ankle injury.

488
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: Back to you, mister de Segar, ever so quickly, it's

489
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: my understanding. James Madison beat North Carolina seventy to fifty.

490
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: Do you know if anybody filed out in that game?

491
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 6: James Madison had fifty three points in the first half,

492
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 6: so that's better than most college basketball games. They got

493
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 6: a touchdown on a block pun so on an interception

494
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 6: return about a seventy yard pass. I was waiting for

495
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 6: them to not just score. We always hear the expression.

496
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 7: Half a hundred.

497
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 5: They got that in the first half.

498
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 6: I was expecting one hundred eight me or seventy to

499
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 6: fifty final over the tar heels.

500
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: Great fun for the whole family. All right, good stuff, Steve,

501
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: Thanks Bud, and we go back to the physic five.

502
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 2: Get your pens and pencils ready. We're going to keep

503
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: drinking through that fire hose. We move on to America's team,

504
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: the Bears. They're not really America's team, but I just

505
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: thought I would say that they visit the Indianapolis Colts.

506
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 2: So here's what's interesting about the Bears, Fez or the

507
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: inverse proportion of the Tennessee Titans. They lost the stats

508
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 2: battle in both of their games. What do you expect

509
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: when they visit Indianapolis later on today?

510
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 3: A really close game and whatever game's close outlined round pick.

511
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 3: We talked about Baltimore Dallas, Baltimore becoming the favorite. Now

512
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 3: I'm getting interested in teasing Dallas one APF up to

513
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 3: seven and a half.

514
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 4: Same thing.

515
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 3: I'm getting interested in teasing the Bears from one alf

516
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: up to seven and a half. Listen, no deforce Buckner.

517
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: The Colts couldn't stop the Packers running even though they

518
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 3: knew it is coming on every play. That's not a

519
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: team that I want to invest in as a favorite.

520
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you and me both all right? Moving on, Jacksonville

521
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 2: will visit Buffalo, Buffalo laying five Buffalo eight and two

522
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: straight up and against the spread in September games in

523
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 2: their last ten thoughts on that game.

524
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 4: You know, I was going to.

525
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 3: Play on Jacksonville, but I'm looking back on it. That

526
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 3: Bill's six point win against Arizona. That's starting to age

527
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: a little bit more nicely to me. I was concerned

528
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: about the Bills, but then when Arizona played a perfect

529
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 3: game against the Rams, I'm thinking, you know what, maybe

530
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: the Bills are actually pretty darn good.

531
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 4: I'm going to pass.

532
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not. I'm not one hundred percent sure why

533
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: so much professional money's coming on Jacksonville. Do you want

534
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: to take a second to address that or no.

535
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: You know, it's not like we have a bunch of

536
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 3: union where we all get together and you know in

537
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 3: the what's smoking cigars and hash this all out.

538
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 4: There's disagreements. I don't agree with the Jacksonville.

539
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: Money, Okay, anough, I'm I'm just reporting what I see

540
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: all right here in Las Vegas, the Raiders make their

541
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: home opener. I'll be there tomorrow, tom credential for the game.

542
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: They're laying five. You know, people make fun of Andy Dalton,

543
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: a guy's throwing for fifty thousand yards in his career. Fez,

544
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: I'm not going to touch this game at the ten

545
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: foot pole, but it feels like it would be so

546
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 2: on brand for the Raiders to stroll into Baltimore. Win

547
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: outright is nine and a half point Dogs come home

548
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: and lay a stinky one against Carolina.

549
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Okay, So the Raiders are supposed to win

550
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 3: seven and a half games this year, that's their updated

551
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 3: season win number they have won, So that's supposed to

552
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: win six and a half more.

553
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 4: Carolina is supposed to win three and.

554
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: A half, So the Raiders are supposed to win twice

555
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 3: as many games, and like you said, they're only laying

556
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: five and a half points, So this line was seven

557
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: and a half for the adjustment the upgrade, and it's

558
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 3: a proper upgrade for Dalton.

559
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 4: But do you really want to take a road dog which.

560
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 3: Isn't going to have a bunch of fans which normally

561
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 3: when we play in Las Vegas, Bernie, you know, like

562
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh takes over to stadium.

563
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 4: That can to be the case with Carolina.

564
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 3: If they're only going to win three games the rest

565
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 3: of the year, that seems like a pretty slim margin

566
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 3: to only be catching five and a half.

567
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 8: I pass.

568
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to touch the game, but it

569
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: doesn't sound to me like you're in a hurry to

570
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: lay the wood.

571
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 3: So anyway, because you nailed at the spot's terrible. The

572
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,239
Speaker 3: Raiders are still celebrating at the win after they won

573
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 3: in Baltimore.

574
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: All Right, this is a game if you decide to

575
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: watch it, really got to hold your nose. The New

576
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: York Giants visit Cleveland, Cleveland thing six and a half.

577
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: Cleveland has a quarterback that's a shot fighter, and I

578
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: think that if the New York Giants were a fight

579
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 2: they would have already stopped it. This honestly feels like

580
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: a double digit win for Cleveland. Their twelveth ranked defense

581
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: is rounding into shape. They're much better at home the Giants.

582
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: Their defense ranks twenty seventh. That and you know alone

583
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 2: would keep me off the Giants. But it's the NFL.

584
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: There's something about this game strikes me your thought.

585
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 4: You know, this is a very popular game.

586
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 3: I don't have the splits, but I know a lot

587
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 3: of people took the Browns and Survivor and Bernie I

588
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 3: got one survivor left. They used the Bengals. I'm supposed

589
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: to use the Browns if you map out the whole season.

590
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 3: But you know what I said to myself, I just

591
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 3: can't let Watson take out my last sole survivor. I

592
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 3: can't trust the quarterback for the Browns.

593
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: Right.

594
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: A quarterback I do trust, and I think he's worthy

595
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: of that is Baker Mayfield. The Tampa Bay Bucks are home.

596
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: They visit a very mediocre, moribund Denver Broncos team. The

597
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 2: Broncos are catching six and a half. Denver's been horrible

598
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: on third down. They've been horrible in the red zone offensively. Meanwhile, listen,

599
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 2: I think Tampa Bay is for real and that defensive

600
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: front seven is for real. They proved against Detroit last week.

601
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: Why is so much money coming in on Denver in

602
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: this game?

603
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: Because you nail that. Denver's been horrible their first two games.

604
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 3: Guess what covered one of those games against the other

605
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 3: one they lost by six. You can be pretty bad

606
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 3: and cover catching six. Oh yes, that's the problem with

607
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: these numbers. Looking no further, like with the Detroit against Tampa.

608
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 3: Detroit put up almost five hundred yards against Tampa. Now

609
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: do they not cover the six and a half?

610
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 4: They lost outright?

611
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 9: You know?

612
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: And they were laying seven and a half. So if

613
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,479
Speaker 3: you turn the ball over a couple of times, you're

614
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 3: not going to cover a six and a half line.

615
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: I pass, Okay, You're not wrong. And when the ball

616
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: is in the air, you want to be on the

617
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 2: side of the book, And I think the books might

618
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: need Denver. It doesn't matter to me. Here's where I'm

619
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: going with that. I have to see something. Bo Nix

620
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: is not appeared to be a major league quarterback at

621
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 2: this point. The Lions, I get last week they had

622
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 2: a stinker because they got into the red zone. That

623
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: couldn't do anything. I liked Campa Bay last week for

624
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: a bunch of reasons I won't bore you with. And

625
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: so your point is taken a any given week in

626
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: the NFL. But Denver hasn't shown me to be an

627
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: NFL team yet. So it's just a game I'm going

628
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,239
Speaker 2: to stay away from, all right. A very interesting game

629
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: in Minnesota. Both teams are deserving of early accolades. Vikings

630
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: catching two points at home, another home dog, Minnesota two

631
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: and oh straight up and against the number of their

632
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 2: first two games has Houston as well as they've done,

633
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: Fez the last couple of years. Have they earned the

634
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 2: right to be a road favorite in this spot like this.

635
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 3: I think so, but I certainly not by any sort

636
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 3: of margin. So I think the line is correct. And

637
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 3: once again we're back to that that plus two, Bernie.

638
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: You know I love plus two and plus one and

639
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 3: a half because we've been talking about it all both

640
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 3: these segments. If the long teaser through the three, four, six, seven,

641
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 3: which he's Minnesota up from plus two to plus eight,

642
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 3: another good teasable game.

643
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: Here's the anomally. The Texans are two and oh straight up.

644
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: They've won the stats battle by an average of plus

645
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten net yards both games. You get

646
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: their zero and two against the number to start this season.

647
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: It's just a red flag for me.

648
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 3: That happens when you're up nine and you have the

649
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: ball first and goal on the three and you fumble

650
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 3: with three minutes to play.

651
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: Hey, hashtag, so you want to be a gambler? All right?

652
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: The Chargers visit the Steelers, Steelers laying a short number. Steelers, Yes,

653
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: our favorite. I'll share with you with stat says that

654
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: knocked me over when I was doing research this week.

655
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 2: Do you know what Mike Tomlin's tenure as a home favorite?

656
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 2: He's fifty nine and fifty nine against the spread. Now

657
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: you pick the winner in this game, and you're going

658
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 2: to cover. I don't want any decide your thoughts.

659
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: Total at thirty five really low total makes the points

660
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 3: all that more valuable now.

661
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 4: The West Coast team when they go east and.

662
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 3: They stay out East all week long, which the Chargers

663
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 3: are doing, staying in Carolina for the week. The Niners

664
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 3: have done this for years and they've always had great success.

665
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 3: I loved the Kumba Yah early in the year. Extended

666
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 3: training camp weeks two and three here, So I like

667
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: the charger teaser from two and up to eight and

668
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 3: a half.

669
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: Even though Justin Herbert is a non non factor, he'll

670
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: be a factor if he'll just be limping around, he

671
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 2: won't be one hundred percent.

672
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 3: But that's why, that's why the lines plus two and

673
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 3: a half instead of pay.

674
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody ever went broke fade and Justin Field,

675
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 2: so we'll just leave that there. Talking about unders Seattle

676
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 2: Home laying four and a half against the Miami Dolphins,

677
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 2: both teams two and over the under already and you

678
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 2: got a nice juicy total of forty one and a half.

679
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 2: I would look to the under in that game, haven't

680
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: fired on any eight your thoughts.

681
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 3: I like that under shop run can get a forty

682
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 3: two on this Listen, whenever you've got a backup quarterback

683
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 3: coming in, the natural reaction is the offense gets simplified.

684
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 4: They run the ball more, but the defense plays harder.

685
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 4: The whole falling star idea.

686
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 3: In the NBA, if your best star is out, everyone

687
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 3: else picks it up and plays better defense and gets

688
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 3: more rebounds.

689
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 4: Same thing in the NFL.

690
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 2: I like your under last game on the docket that says,

691
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 2: not gonna liance my best bet. I love Detroit in

692
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 2: the wood, Dan Campbell six and oh straight up against

693
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 2: the number on the road Following back to back home games,

694
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: Arizona only won and seven against the spread, and back

695
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 2: to back home games when they've won the previous week.

696
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: You said it earlier. Detroit had four earned sixty three

697
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 2: yards of offense last week, stunk in the red zone,

698
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 2: lightning won't strike twice. I think it's a git right

699
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: game for the Lions. Your thoughts Now, I.

700
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 3: Could be biased because I watched the whole Arizona Rams

701
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 3: game and Murray looked like he is the second coming

702
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 3: of Doug Flutie in this prime. So given that Bernie,

703
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 3: you and I are going to go ahead to head,

704
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be on the other side, and winner is

705
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: going to buy dinner. Please say Tuscany girl.

706
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 2: Sounds good. You let me off easy. If I lose

707
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 2: a lot, I'm making the line minus three. That's the

708
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: line I got of at Do you good? Yeah, I'll

709
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: give you a field goal, Fez. Look forward to seeing

738
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 2: If you can forgive Aaron Rodgers for his Thursday night

739
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: football sideline second quarter taster's choice moment with head coach

740
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: Robert Sala. You know, the classic act like you've been

741
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: there before, act like you're going back. Sala was kind

742
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 2: of exuberant, kind of relieved. Rogers is usual, loading the

743
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 2: short self. And I don't care what he said after.

744
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: I don't believe anything he said or why he acted

745
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: the way he acted. What happened there, you know, it

746
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 2: was not the typical warm and fuzzy Jonah Hill, bring

747
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 2: it on in for a hug, anything but that. But

748
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 2: I will say this, Let's kid, the man is due.

749
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers might have pushed you on his coach a

750
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: little bit, but he also pushed around the New England Patriots.

751
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 2: He picked them apart surgically twenty seven to thirty five

752
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 2: to eighty one and two touchdowns. But moreover, past the

753
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,959
Speaker 2: eye test, I'm telling you, the dude turned the clock

754
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 2: back fifteen years. He looked mobile, he looked quick, he

755
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 2: looked fast. You don't believe me. He was five for

756
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 2: five on throws on the run. He was six for

757
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 2: six on throws outside the pocket. He was mobile, he

758
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 2: was accurate, he looked, he looked the part. And I

759
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 2: gotta tell you what did he do? He gave the

760
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 2: New York Jets faithful a taste of what they've been

761
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 2: yearning for. Along those lines, Rogers even got good pass

762
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 2: protection from his offensive line, which is another very encouraging sign.

763
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 2: Another encouraging sign for Jets fans. Rogers to Garrett Wilson's

764
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: going to be a problem for any defense. Yes, five

765
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 2: catches for thirty three yards, those aren't groundbreaking numbers, but

766
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 2: if you look at how much of a headache they're

767
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 2: going to be for opposing defenses, I will tell you

768
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson is not just a playmaker. He's going to

769
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 2: be an excellent possession receiver too. But it's not just

770
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson. I said off the cuff. A couple of

771
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 2: weeks ago, it didn't look like the Jets had an

772
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 2: embarrassment of riches on offense, but maybe that's not true.

773
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: Rogers spread the wealth to eight different receivers Thursday Night,

774
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: including Tyler Conklin led the way five receptions, ninety three yards.

775
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: And so in addition to Garrett Wilson and Alan Lazard,

776
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 2: you got Braylan Allen, you got Bryce Hall, you got

777
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 2: what might be a very high powered offense from the

778
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: Jets this season. And don't tell me it was just

779
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: against New England. They're an NFL team, So okay, it's

780
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 2: one game. But look, Hope Springs Eternal. The Jets are

781
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: two and one. Don't tell me it wouldn't be a

782
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 2: great story to see the Jets go deep into the postseason.

783
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 2: Whether you like him or hate him, I think it

784
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 2: would be a great story, and I'm kind of here

785
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: for it. Rogers, you get your props Thursday Night, coming up,

796
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 2: plenty of storylines. The NBA is back, and many milestones

Speaker 2: do it fifty two weeks of the year. We don't

801
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,479
Speaker 2: wait to react to the headlines. We make the headlines right.

802
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 8: Mark, Yes, sir, It's never a dull moment. And even

803
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 8: when the season's off, we shall display and talk about.

804
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 2: I got to ask you, how in the world did

805
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 2: this rumor, nasty goofy Kawhi Leonard rumor start and tell

806
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: the folks what it was and got kiboshed.

807
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 8: You're talking about the skateboarding incident.

808
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: Well, if that's in fact what it was, quite honestly,

809
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 2: I can't lie to Yeah, but somebody said brace yourself,

810
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: there's bad news about Kawhi Leonard, you know, and some

811
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 2: sort of injury, and then it caught wildfire among the

812
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: group think Echo Chambers.

813
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 8: Yeah, I guess there was an account in China that's

814
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 8: that try to post something on Kawhi Leonard from Kawhi

815
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 8: Leonard's agency saying there might be some bad news about

816
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 8: his health. And you know how misinformation spreads pretty quickly

817
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 8: before that. But then there was some other kind of

818
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 8: like tongue in cheek videos I saw on X where

819
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 8: it looked like he was witnessing some people's skateboarding that

820
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 8: he decided to participate. I don't think I need to

821
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 8: confirm this. I think it's in players contract clauses that

822
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 8: you can't do that in our off season.

823
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 2: Sure, no, you're exactly right. Ever, so quickly though, Leonard

824
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 2: did have some knee inflammation during the Team USA camp

825
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 2: that was a little eye opening. So he didn't play

826
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 2: in the final league games of the regular season. And

827
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure his needs feeling good. Now is

828
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 2: he ready to go?

829
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 8: Well, we'll obviously wait and see. I mean the Clippers,

830
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 8: you know, for what it's worth said that they thought

831
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 8: Kawhi Leonard could have played with Team USA for the

832
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 8: Paris Olympics and they were disappointed on his behalf. Now

833
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 8: this is only my opinion because Lawrence Sprink stayed his

834
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 8: opinion publicly. I think it was kind of one of

835
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 8: those things that they wanted Team USA to be the

836
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 8: bad guy so they could wrap their arms around him.

837
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 8: And they're probably privately relieved that he didn't play because

838
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 8: that means it's just one less risk that he might

839
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 8: enter next season not fully healthy. Now that being said,

840
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 8: Lawrence Sprink did say during Summer League, there is a

841
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 8: lot of optimism and confidence that he's going to be

842
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 8: fully healthy because again from their public stance, they thought

843
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 8: he was healthy enough to go out with the Olympics.

844
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 8: So I would expect in training camp he won't be limited.

845
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: You know.

846
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 8: I think that that has been something that Tylo has

847
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 8: really tried to implement about making sure the guys are

848
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 8: getting practice and scrimmaging. But we know Kawhi leonards injury history.

849
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 8: Once the regular season games actually start, all bets are

850
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 8: off as far as how many games he plays, and

851
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 8: you know how many injuries there are that happens.

852
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: With US, So I guess we'll know in nine days.

853
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 2: I believe the Clippers open up their training camp in

854
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 2: Hawaii October first, if I have that right.

855
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, October first in Hawaii, but don't have their media

856
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 8: day at the Intuit Dome in LA so it'll be

857
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 8: a fun little, uh, you know, introduction to their new arena.

858
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 2: Yep, all right, So whenever I see news like this,

859
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 2: it certainly raises an eyebrow. AJ Griffin, a young man

860
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 2: sixteenth overall pick just a couple of years ago out

861
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 2: of Duke, has decided to hang him up already, and

862
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: he's already been bought up on the US in rockets.

863
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 2: Is there a backstory here I'm missing?

864
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, he reached terms on a buyout with Houston.

865
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 10: You know, he.

866
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 8: Hasn't really performed all that well. I mean, he has

867
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 8: been a pretty average player so far. So I think,

868
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 8: you know, I don't know anything about AJ Griffin's personal

869
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 8: life or anything, but when it comes to, you know,

870
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 8: his NBA and basketball career, I think it's about you know,

871
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 8: weighing what options are there, you know, overseas or with

872
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 8: a better fit. But here's the reality of the unfortunate

873
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 8: reality is young players aren't really given time to develop,

874
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 8: and you know, you're either considered a player that is

875
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 8: either instant impact or has a lot of potential, and

876
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 8: if you don't have the potential, teams bail on you

877
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 8: because they feel like, hey, they can draft the next

878
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 8: young prospect. So this is kind of a testament to

879
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 8: how short lived an NBA career can actually be.

880
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 2: I not have couched that in the proper context. It

881
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 2: was my understanding that AJ Griffin approached the team and

882
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 2: said he wanted to step away from the game. Maybe

883
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 2: you can clarify that. But to your point, you bring

884
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,439
Speaker 2: up an excellent point. However, Mark, I must say, because

885
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 2: I believe AJ Griffin averaged around seven eight points a game.

886
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 2: He'd only been in the league, maybe eighty ninety games.

887
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 2: If Bronnie James averages eight points a game, he'll be

888
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame by next year.

889
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 8: He'll get his jersey retired along with that.

890
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 2: True look at you what nicely done? Nicely played, goo.

891
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 8: Ahead, And you know what, while we're at it, maybe

892
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 8: let's just induct him into the next month's All Fame.

893
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 2: Right, why not? Hey? Real quickly, it was reported I

894
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 2: don't know this gentleman, but I have to give him

895
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 2: credit for reporting if he's right. Somebody named Zach Lowe

896
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 2: from ESPN reported that he believes that Brownie will be

897
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 2: on the opening night roster and will play in the

898
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 2: opening night game with Lebron so they can have their

899
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 2: moment right away. Is it true?

900
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 8: Well, I think it very well could happen now. I

901
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 8: think everything can change, but I want to be surprised

902
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 8: if that happens now. I think there's a difference between

903
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 8: playing opening night versus playing significant minutes. I think that

904
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 8: this moment is more going to happen in preseason because

905
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 8: those games are inconsequential. But I think that he will

906
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 8: have the moment regular season opener because it's really cool.

907
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 8: But I don't think that's a preview that Bronnie James

908
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 8: is now a rotation player, you know, seventh eight player

909
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 8: off the bench, playing significant minutes. I think it's about

910
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 8: spending most of that time in the G League and

911
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 8: getting kind of those feel good moments out of the

912
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 8: way with his dad early in the season.

913
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm in agreement with you, But the way the

914
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 2: report I read was that this individualist Gentleman was intimating

915
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 2: that Brownie would in fact be on the opening night

916
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 2: roster for the regular season and playing that game. Now,

917
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 2: I didn't say it would be significant minutes. I think

918
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 2: it'll just be in the game. Maybe they step on

919
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 2: the floor, they play a minute or two, and that's shit,

920
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 2: and they've made their history. So when I heard that

921
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 2: opening Night, that's kind of a boss move. That's something, well,

922
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 2: it is, But we have to keep.

923
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 8: In mind a few things here. G League training camps

924
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 8: don't start until late October October twenty eighth, I believe,

925
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 8: and then you know they have to finalize their rosters

926
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 8: for November seventh. So when you look at the calendar here,

927
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 8: you know the NBA opening day is going to be

928
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 8: late October, and so there is almost that weak gap

929
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 8: where those G League players could be on the actual

930
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 8: regular season roster. And so I think that's what's going

931
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 8: to happen with Brownie. But once the G League's started up,

932
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 8: that's where he's going to go.

933
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 2: Fair enough. Talk with Mark Mendina Medina Magic every Saturday

934
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 2: night here on The Bernie Fridle Show at midnight twelve

935
00:47:55,719 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 2: midnight Pacific. One of the conversations blowing in the breeze.

936
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 2: Just this past week among the powers to be my

937
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 2: understanding was the subject of expansion. We all know Seattle's

938
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 2: bandied about. We all know Las Vegas is bandied about.

939
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 2: I even heard somebody through the name Mexico City in there.

940
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 2: Could you ever envision a team? First of all, did

941
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 2: you hear anything of the sort? Could you ever envision

942
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 2: an NBA team in Mexico City?

943
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely, I've heard it. IAmA Silver's talent at Mexico City,

944
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 8: and I think that that's very realistic. I mean, we

945
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 8: look at Toronto, They're obviously not in the United States.

946
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 8: Is in Canada. That's a major metropolitan city. Mexico City is,

947
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,439
Speaker 8: you know, one of the largest cities in the world.

948
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 8: And when you're looking at it geographically, even though it's

949
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 8: outside of the US, from a travel standpoint, it's a

950
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 8: short flight from the Texas city is like Dallas, Houston,

951
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 8: et cetera. So I don't think that it would create

952
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 8: that much of a travel issue. Number one number too,

953
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 8: you know, basketball is growing more and more, and I

954
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 8: think one of the underrated markets is in Latin America.

955
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 8: A lot of people talk about, you know, the growth

956
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 8: in Canada, the growth in Europe because of all those

957
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 8: European powerhouses, but Latin America likes its hoops too, And

958
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 8: I think because of a geography standpoint again that obviously

959
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 8: Mexico is right next to the US. It certainly makes sense.

960
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 8: You had in the fact the population of Mexico City,

961
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 8: and you know, Mexico City is a very industrial, westernized

962
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 8: kind of city, so I think it would be a

963
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 8: perfect fit, and they have the facilities for it, and I.

964
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 2: Believe it is the most populous city in North America.

965
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 2: So it's a big, a big market, all right. As

966
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 2: we wrap things up, there were a lot of key

967
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 2: players mark last year that whose seasons were cut short

968
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 2: due to injury, and I want to touch upon a couple.

969
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 2: What can you tell us about Julius Randall is dis

970
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 2: looking right shoulder. The reason I bring it up is

971
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 2: because I think the Knicks are a team to really

972
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 2: watch When him, Jalen Brunson, and ogn Andobi are on

973
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 2: the floor together, they were like twelve and one and

974
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 2: I'll score their opponents by like two hundred points. I

975
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 2: got to believe a healthy Julius Randall really helps the Knicks.

976
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean he had surgery this offseason. The next

977
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 8: day he's fully recovered. I think he's going to have

978
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 8: a bounce back here. I think the Knicks are a

979
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:24,959
Speaker 8: team to be reckoned with. I think in the short

980
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 8: term they do have to address, you know, the fact

981
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 8: that Isaiah harden steinms with the thunder Now he's a

982
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 8: really good rebounder, really good screen setter, and you know,

983
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 8: Mitchell Robinson's had some injury, so because of that, they

984
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 8: don't have a go to five. I know that Tom

985
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 8: Thibodeau has flowed out there that Julius Randall could play

986
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 8: the five, but he's also caution that those would be

987
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 8: limited minutes because he's not a traditional five. He's more

988
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 8: of a four. He's, you know, the modern day point

989
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 8: forward because of his playmaking style and his versatile skill set.

990
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 8: But I think that they gives the Knicks at least

991
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 8: option is because they have so much wing depth and

992
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 8: back court depth, especially now that they got Michal Bridges

993
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 8: in off season trades. I think in the spirit of

994
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 8: maximizing their roster with basically the Villanova group and Julius Randall,

995
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 8: he could see him play five, but it's good to

996
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 8: mostly before. But I am bullish on his health, and

997
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 8: I am bullish on the Knix's place in the Eastern Conference.

998
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 8: I still would give the edge, you know, to Boston

999
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 8: and to Philadelphia and Milwaukee, but you know there are

1000
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 8: question marks about whether continuity is enough for Milwaukee and

1001
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 8: the next they have that in their favor, So you

1002
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 8: know what, on second thought, I put the Knicks a third.

1003
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think they're going to be a real going

1004
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 2: concern if they can stay healthy. Another name I'm going

1005
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 2: to invoke here that really dropped out of site after

1006
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 2: he also suffered a shoulder injury back last January. Only

1007
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 2: played nine games all year last year, Joahn Morant. But

1008
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 2: he's cleared to play. I'm sure Memphis is welcome. I'm

1009
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 2: welcoming him back with open arms.

1010
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 8: Yeah. I mean he's expected to be fully healthy. And

1011
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 8: you look at the Western Conference landscape here, I mean

1012
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 8: they're going to disrupt it. I mean they finished with

1013
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 8: the third worst record in the West only because Sean

1014
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 8: Moran was out. He is automatically thrusting them into a

1015
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 8: playoff team. I think so much that they won't have

1016
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 8: to get through the play in tournament. They'll be at

1017
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 8: least a sixth seed. But when you're looking at the

1018
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 8: Thunder or in the Western Conference, really the Thunder and

1019
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 8: the Nuggets I think are the only guaranteed teams to

1020
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 8: finish at the top. You know, Minnesota and Dallas are intriguing,

1021
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 8: but there's a lot of question marks about whether you know,

1022
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 8: Minnesota can bring themselves to that next level. Dallas they've

1023
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 8: shown that Luca Doctor, Jan Kyrie, Irving, ken Co exists well,

1024
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 8: Quit Thompson great addition, but can they be an elite

1025
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 8: defensive team? And then after those two teams, it's all

1026
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 8: open the air. I mean, I guess theoretically he can

1027
00:52:55,280 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 8: make a case for Clippers, Sons, Lakers, Pelicans, Kings, Warriors,

1028
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,760
Speaker 8: but it's all interchangeable. There's a lot of injury questions

1029
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 8: on all those teams, in depth questions that I would

1030
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 8: rate the Grizzlies ahead of all of them.

1031
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned deep Pelicans and what I think

1032
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 2: is going to be a very crowded West last one

1033
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 2: for me, Fortunately for Zion Williamson by far his healthiest season.

1034
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 2: I think he played seventy games last year, did have

1035
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 2: the hamstring injury, but it's my understanding he's leading team workouts.

1036
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 2: He was in August working out with the team. What

1037
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 2: can you expect? What can we expect that as Ion

1038
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 2: Wimson's upcoming seam well.

1039
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 4: In fairness is Ion.

1040
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 8: When I talked to people with the Pelicans in the

1041
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 8: last few seasons, they rave about his work ethic, attitude

1042
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 8: and his hunger to get better. So they say that

1043
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,760
Speaker 8: that's never been a question. But it's just the reality

1044
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 8: that even if he's doing the right, things are least

1045
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 8: relative to compared to earlier in his career when he

1046
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 8: was out of shape and wasn't the most astute dieter.

1047
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 8: He hasn't proven that he can stay consistently healthy, And

1048
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 8: when you're looking at the rest of the Pelicans roster,

1049
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 8: there's a lot of questions. Entering training camp, they were

1050
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 8: trying to see if there's a trade market for Brandon

1051
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 8: Ingram because they're trying to mitigate the luxury tax concerns

1052
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 8: and the second Apron and they weren't able to find

1053
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 8: a trade partner. Now, Brandon Ingram's in the final year

1054
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 8: of his contract. Theoretically, you know he can report to

1055
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 8: the team and still play, but you know they have

1056
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 8: also some needs to address their center spot. Because Jonas

1057
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 8: Valentunis went to the Wizards this summer, so you know,

1058
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 8: I'd keep my eye on. Maybe there's a potential deal

1059
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 8: with the Pelicans dealing Ingram to Cleveland in a package

1060
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 8: with Shared Allen, but that remains to be seen. So ironically,

1061
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 8: Zion for the first time probably ever, represents the least

1062
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 8: amount of question marks that the Pelicans have entering training camp.

1063
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 8: But that doesn't mean he's not going to be a

1064
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 8: question mark because of his injury history.

1065
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 2: And I think that's shared ever questioned his desire, But

1066
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 2: in this sport that requires running and jumping, stopping and

1067
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 2: starting eighty two nights a year and hard floors, there's

1068
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 2: just not a great mix with somebody weighs two hundred

1069
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 2: and eighty pounds or more. Yeah, and ever since he

1070
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 2: got that flat tire duke a few years ago, remember

1071
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 2: that that's you. That sort of was a precursor to

1072
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 2: what the future was. So hopefully, I mean, he's a

1073
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 2: great player to watch him. I gotta tell you, Mark,

1074
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 2: I think the West is really crowded. We'll get into

1075
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 2: that in upcoming weeks. As to who you think might.

1076
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 8: Emerge, yeah, I mean it's just going to be a

1077
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 8: wow while West this upcoming season. I guess it always is.

1078
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 8: But when you add in what you were mentioning about

1079
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 8: Memphis with John Moran coming back and just you know,

1080
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 8: some teams keeping most of their core, it's it's going

1081
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 8: to be quite a turbulent season for the Western Conference

1082
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 8: and it's going to be a really tough go for

1083
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 8: any team to emerge at the top.

1084
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 2: Well said, I think it's going to be it's going

1085
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 2: to be wide open, maybe even the East as well.

1086
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 2: No one repeats anymore, do they, So.

1087
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 8: I guess you never know. I think Boston can repeat

1088
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 8: because even though it's hard to defend a championship, they

1089
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 8: have most of their quarterback everyone's healthy except for Forzingis.

1090
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 8: But they've shown that they don't necessarily need Porzingis to

1091
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 8: be as absolute best because he is a third option

1092
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 8: or even fourth option behind Drew Holliday.

1093
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 2: Right, he was on my list, but I left him

1094
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 2: out for that very reason. All right, great stuff, Mark,

1095
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 2: We'll catch you next Saturday night, Buddy. I appreciate you, man,

1096
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 2: Mark Medina Medina Magic. We covered the NBA fifty two

1097
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 2: weeks out of the year because we covered all here

1098
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Frado Show coming up. There was a

1099
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 2: recent fan based poll in terms of who is the

1100
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 2: most optimistic fan base in the NFL and who's the

1101
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 2: least optimistic fan base in the NFL. And I waited

1102
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 2: to share this because the poll was done about forty

1103
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 2: five days ago. And I promise you the least optimistic

1104
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 2: fan base is going to surprise you based on what

1105
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 2: the first two weeks have looked like. By the way,

Speaker 2: the Tarrat dot Com Studios here in Las Vegas, just

1120
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 2: nine hours and thirty four minutes away from another jam

1121
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 2: packed NFL Sunday, and hope springs eternal with fan bases,

1122
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 2: and the anticipation begins in earnest for the NFL, usually

1123
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 2: around April with the draft, and then you've got OTAs

1124
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 2: in mini camps, and before you know it, the season

1125
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 2: is here, and the season is here. And a publication

1126
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 2: recently engaged fan bases in terms of how optimistic they

1127
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 2: were or pessimistic and hopes how their team might perform

1128
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 2: in this upcoming twenty twenty fourth season. So which city

1129
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 2: rated first in terms of being optimism optimistic? This doesn't

1130
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 2: surprise me at all, and this number is incredible. The

1131
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 2: city was ninety eight point eight percent optimistic about their team.

1132
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the great city of Detroit and the

1133
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions. That city ranked first overall in terms of

1134
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 2: the overall optimism. Their fan base had rated number one

1135
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 2: before the beginning of the season. Now, obviously, let's let's

1136
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 2: pretend we're having this conversation back in early August. Plenty

1137
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 2: of love for the Lions, most people think they should

1138
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 2: have won the NFC title last year. The front office

1139
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 2: went back to work. They maintained their core. They retained

1140
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson, their offensive coordinator. That was a big coup,

1141
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 2: maybe the biggest one of the offseason, and they kept

1142
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 2: their defensive coordinator. You get the drill all right now,

1143
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 2: we don't know if if the Lions will live up

1144
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 2: to the hype, and the hype is deserving, but their

1145
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 2: fans were certainly optimistic and they ranked first. Let's put

1146
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 2: a team in the middle. They call it the mech right,

1147
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals. Their fans actually had seventy percent optimism,

1148
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 2: but they only ranked twentieth. This is a perfect example.

1149
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 2: If you go back to august In, fans preceding their

1150
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 2: team could go one or two ways. They were right

1151
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 2: on the fence, no question. They have talent Kyler Murray

1152
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 2: and he appears very healthy. High hopes for Marvin Harrison Junior.

1153
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 2: And the team actually played a little better than expected

1154
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 2: last year, but they're likely way behind a lot of

1155
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 2: teams in the NFC, and even the optimists, the optimistic

1156
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 2: fans have them going maybe nine to eight. They may

1157
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 2: be better. Coincidentally, the Rams or checked at the Arizona

1158
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 2: Cardinals host the Lions here in a few hours, so

1159
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 2: the Lions fan base was first. An optimism rated first.

1160
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 2: The Arizona Cardinals fan base was ranked twentieth. Who was last,

1161
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 2: Wait for it, they ranked thirty second. Only sixteen percent

1162
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 2: of their fan base was optimistic this team would do anything.

1163
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 2: The New Orleans Saints now again, pretend now they are

1164
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 2: two and oh. They've been two and oh before, and

1165
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 2: Derek Carr's been to and over before with the Raiders.

1166
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 2: But you'd rather be two and oh than than oh

1167
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 2: and two. And we're going to get to some of

1168
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 2: that later in the show about the significance of that.

1169
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 2: It's real. But if you go back to August, first,

1170
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 2: every reason for pessimism was fairly warranted. They're an expensive team,

1171
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 2: they're an old team. They can still do this. They

1172
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 2: could be, you know, in for a mediocre year. But

1173
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 2: they had some you know, fans, sixty percent, you can

1174
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 2: call them delusion. Well maybe they're fans, some of them.

1175
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 2: One of the reasons they gave is they thought Derek

1176
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 2: Carr could rebound become a top fifteen quarterback because they

1177
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 2: now have a new offensive scheme, a new offensive coordinator,

1178
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 2: and people believe that's all New Orleans needed to do

1179
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 2: to fix that to make a surprise playoff appearance. Another

1180
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 2: they believe the defense was good enough to pick up

1181
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 2: the rest, all right, And although you know the eighty

1182
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 2: four percents that just wait, we'll see Spencer Rattler sooner

1183
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 2: rather than later. But now the season started, and that's

1184
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 2: the beauty, right. We've talked about a thousand times. You

1185
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:03,439
Speaker 2: can script everything, but the you know, but the inning

1186
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 2: in the world of sports, and the beauty of it

1187
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 2: is is that now that the season is underway and

1188
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 2: you've got situations where some teams are two and oh,

1189
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 2: some teams are rowing to some teams are looking good

1190
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 2: doing it, others not. Now you can start to compare

1191
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 2: whether or not the optimism, the optimism or pessimism was warranted.

1192
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 2: And we're gonna do a little bit of that coming up,

1193
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 2: because coming up we call this NFL contenders or Pretenders.

1194
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 2: We're gonna break down the two and O teams and

1195
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 2: the OW and two teams and give you our thoughts.

1196
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 2: But first go back to our guy, Steve Disager with

1197
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 2: the last.

1198
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 6: Let's start with Top ten. College football is number one

1199

Speaker 6: including an eighty six yard run by quin Shawn Judkins.

1205

Speaker 6: He on fourteen carries had one hundred and seventy three

1206
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 6: yards rushing in two scores. Fifth ranked Old miss dominated

1207
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 6: Georgia Southern tonight, fifty two to thirteen. Georgia Southern as

1208
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 6: a team thirty six carries, thirty seven yards rushing Jackson Dart,

01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 6: and beat the Sooners twenty five to fifteen. Vanderbilt missed

1212
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 6: a thirty one yard field goal attempt at the end

1213
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 6: of the second overtime to lose thirty to twenty seven.

1214
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 6: At seventh rank Missouri, Miszoo finished three of six on

1215
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 6: field goals and that was good enough for the home victory.

1216
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 6: Number eight Miami trailed at South Florida just before halftime

1217

01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,600

01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,920

1264
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 6: regular season, Mets and Braves each one Saturday. The Braves

1265
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 6: still two games out of the last NL wildcard spot,

1266
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 6: and starting on Tuesday, it's Mets at Braves in a series.

1267
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 6: Arizona won its fourth game in a row. Kansas City

1268
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 6: got shut out at home nine to nothing by San

1269
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 6: Francisco that clinched the AL Central title for the Guardians

1270
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 6: of Cleveland. Casey's lost sixth straight Minnesota was reigned out

1271
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 6: at Boston. They'll play doubleheader on Sunday. Twins are only

1272
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 6: a half game up on Detroit for the final AL

1273
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 6: playoff spot. Mariners now just a game and a half behind.

1274
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 6: Seattle got to win Houston as well. Detroit won in

1275
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 6: ten innings at Baltimore six 'y four, so the Orioles

1276
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 6: are now five games back in the first place Yankees

1277
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 6: in the AL East, Yanks were ten nothing winners at Oakland.

1278
01:06:56,560 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 6: Aaron Judge is fifty fourth, Homer Padres won, Dodgers lost

1279
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 6: first place LA and the NL West just three games

1280
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 6: over the Pods, and the NASCAR win at Bristol. To

1281
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 6: Kyle Larson back to you, all right, thanks Steve.

1282
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 2: So you know, the great Yogi Bear at once said

1283
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 2: the soon as you fall behind, the more time you

1284
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 2: have to catch up. That's not necessarily a good strategy

1285
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 2: when it comes to the National Football League. You're a

1286
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 2: lot better off starting out two and oh oh and two.

1287
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 2: How do we know this, Well, let's take a look.

1288
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 2: How important is it for an NFL team to get

1289
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 2: off to a hot start and avoid a cold beginning

1290
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 2: because the numbers lie historically, check that the numbers don't lie. Historically,

1291
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 2: when it comes to making the playoffs, if you go

1292
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 2: back to the NFL merger in nineteen seventy, four hundred

1293
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 2: and eleven teams started out two and oh. Two hundred

1294
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 2: and sixty three made the playoffs. That's sixty four percent.

1295
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 2: You like those odds. Just last year, eight teams started

1296
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 2: out two and oh, and six of those teams man

1297
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 2: it to the postseason. Two years ago, there were only

1298
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 2: five teams that started out too and oh, but all

1299
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 2: five made the playoffs. And oh yeah, by the way,

1300
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 2: the Chiefs were in both groups. They became the thirty

1301
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 2: third and thirty fourth two to oh team in fifty

1302
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 2: eight tries to win the Super Bowl. Fifty nine percent

1303
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 2: chance if you fifty nine percent better chance to win

1304
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl if you start out two and oh.

1305
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 2: Now the stats are far more staggering for teams that

1306
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 2: start out oh to two. This is troubling. Also, since

1307
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy there were four hundred and thirteen NFL teams

1308
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 2: who lost their first two games of this season. Only

1309
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 2: nine percent of those made the playoffs forty of them

1310
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 2: ninety one percent didn't. Last season, the Texans who actually

1311
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 2: won the AFC South, they were in a normally there

1312
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 2: were eight teams that started out oh to two. The

1313
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 2: Texans were the only team to make the playoffs last year,

1314
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:58,240
Speaker 2: starting on two the year before. The Cincinnati Bengals in

1315
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, the only team of the five who

1316
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 2: are owing to so two of the thirteen teams in

1317
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,560
Speaker 2: the last two years. So let's take a look at this.

1318
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 2: Let's drill down a little bit. Who are the two

1319
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 2: and zero teams the Chargers? Now, the Chargers played two

1320
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 2: teams they should have beaten. They got the Raiders at

1321
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 2: home and the Carolina Panthers on the road. But it's

1322
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 2: not just that the Chargers are winning, it's the way

1323
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:28,719
Speaker 2: they're doing it. Jim Harbaugh, Greg Roman, Jesse Minterter. Harbaugh

1324
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 2: has already established a culture of mentally and physically tough teams.

1325
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 2: The mindset is ten times better than it was under

1326
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:38,759
Speaker 2: Brandon Staley. His leadership has been clearly absorbed. The Chargers

1327
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 2: put away both opponents, and those were not close tough games.

1328
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 2: Those are easy wins right out of the gate. Greg

1329
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 2: Roman's offense has already rushed for almost four hundred yards

1330
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 2: into two games. You gotta love JK. Dobbins, who comes

1331
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 2: over from Baltimore and Gus Edwards, and I get it

1332
01:09:56,520 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 2: that Justin Herbert has banged up. We talked about this

1333
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 2: with a Pas a minute ago. He'll be limping around

1334
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh, but he's well protected. You got a first

1335
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 2: rounder Joe Alt, great offensive line there are You know,

1336
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 2: there's a real resurgence there. And the truth of the

1337
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 2: matter is it's a throwback formula. But credit to Chargers

1338
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 2: for basically saying this is going to be our identity,

1339
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 2: this is going to be our wholesale change. They've adopted

1340
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 2: the mindset. We'll see what they do in Pittsburgh Week three.

1341
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 2: But at two to zero, as as that couched this,

1342
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 2: are they a contender or a pretender? I only mean

1343
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:38,640
Speaker 2: to make the playoffs. I say they're a contender, all right.

1344
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Steelers, who the Chargers play Sunday, there's

1345
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 2: a reason why they've never had a losing season under

1346
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:46,560
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin. They have always had the strength and the

1347
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:52,679
Speaker 2: same defensive identity. Strong defensive identity, and then what Tomlin

1348
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:54,680
Speaker 2: does is he just kind of tinkers and adjust the

1349
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 2: offense to do whatever it needs to be complimentary enough

1350
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 2: to win games. Now They're doing it with a very

1351
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 2: good running game. It's very diverse under a very clever

1352
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator by the name of Arthur Smith, and he's

1353
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 2: actually made justin Field serviceable now. TJ. Watt and the

1354
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 2: defense have a couple concerns. The passing game is virtually nonexistent,

1355
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 2: but heavy tight end usage that you have one big

1356
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 2: play receiver, George Pickens. Special teams have been outstanding in Pittsburgh.

1357
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 2: Is Pittsburgh a balanced team? Not really? Are they an

1358
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 2: explosive team? Not really? But are they a solid, well coached,

1359
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 2: physical team with a good defense. Yes, I'll give Pittsburgh

1360
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 2: a slight edge that they're contenders. They're not pretenders the Saints.

1361
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 2: You didn't have them to in all, neither did I.

1362
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 2: The best scoring offense in the NFL after two weeks

1363
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:54,560
Speaker 2: ninety one points. They routed Carolina, they smoked the Cowboys.

1364
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 2: Clint Kubiak turning out to be one of the best

1365
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 2: hires in the National Football League this year. He's calling plays.

1366
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara has sung his praises. Loves the running, the

1367
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 2: running plays and the blocking scheme. It looks like a

1368
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:14,720
Speaker 2: very rejuvenated team. Dennis Sallin maybe not so great as

1369
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:16,959
Speaker 2: a head coach, but not terrible as the defensive coordinator.

1370
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 2: He's got a defense that's getting the job done. I

1371
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 2: think perhaps he's motivated by the fact. I think he

1372
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 2: is on the hot seat. He was on the hot seat,

1373
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 2: and Derek Carr seems to have heard the cat calls

1374
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 2: for Spencer Rattler. They've responded the first two games. I'm

1375
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:33,679
Speaker 2: not going to put the Saints in the contender category.

1376
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:35,680
Speaker 2: I'm not, but I'm not gonna put him in the

1377
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 2: pretender category either. Yeah, my butt might be so from

1378
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 2: sitting on the fence on this one, but I got

1379
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:41,639
Speaker 2: to see a lot more. Got to see a lot

1380
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 2: more now. The Seattle Seahawks are also too and oh

1381
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 2: they haven't had the toughest schedule. They have the Broncos

1382
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 2: and home and the Patriots on the road, but they're

1383
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 2: still NFL teams. You've got Gino Smith, a couple of

1384
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:57,680
Speaker 2: downfield receivers, DK Metcalf, Jackson Smith and Jigba. They got

1385
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 2: going against the Patriots, they went nuts. This is a

1386
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 2: versatile team. They're trying to get more playmaking going on

1387
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:08,560
Speaker 2: both sides of the ball. They're responding. This is a

1388
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:10,759
Speaker 2: franchise that had got a little stale under Pete Carroll.

1389
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 2: NFC is a very tough conference. Seattle still got games

1390
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 2: coming up against the Dolphins, the Lions of forty nine

1391
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 2: ers the Bills in the next four weeks. They're rebooting.

1392
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 2: But I can't put Seattle in the contender category. I've

1393
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 2: got them in the pretender category. But you for two

1394
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 2: to zero. Tampa Bay Buccaneers pull acts the Commanders week

1395
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 2: one at home. They were my best bet last week.

1396
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 2: They beat the Lions outright as a seven point underdog.

1397
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 2: The defense is dug deep. Their pass rush and coverage

1398
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 2: assets are much better than people realize. Give it up

1399
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 2: for Todd Bowles. If you saw the Lions of a

1400
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:50,600
Speaker 2: very good defensive offensive line, if you saw what the

1401
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 2: Lion Tampa Bay's defensive front did last week, you'd be

1402
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 2: very impressed. They very much passed the eyeball test. And

1403
01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:00,680
Speaker 2: also the offense is much more streamlined. They've got a

1404
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,679
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator by the name of Liam Cohen, very creative,

1405
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 2: able to put playmakers in space. Tampa Bay has no

1406
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 2: trouble moving the ball. He was a prolific in Kentucky.

1407
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 2: Liam Cohen only also spent some time with the Rams.

1408
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 2: I do believe that the Bucks are contenders. I do

1409
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 2: believe they are the Minnesota Vikings two and oh. They've

1410
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 2: dominated with some big defensive players. The first couple of

1411
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 2: weeks they took down the Giants. They made them. I

1412
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 2: don't know how they did what they did to the

1413
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, but perhaps Brian Flores is an early

1414
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 2: cadinate for Defensive Coordinator of the Year. He's got a

1415
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 2: defense that just pressures you to no end. The offense

1416
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,560
Speaker 2: has been good with Sam Darnold can't continue. We don't know.

1417
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 2: Here's the concern because of the Lions and Packers in

1418
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 2: the division and the very loaded conference. Right now, I'm

1419
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 2: very much on the fence with the Vikings. I can't

1420
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 2: call them pretenders. I won't call them contenders either. They

1421
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 2: stuck out the Texans, Packers, Jets, Allons as their next

1422
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 2: four opponents, the Buffalo Bills. They're contenders. They have a

1423
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 2: new run heavy identity, they got a lot more momentum.

1424
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is the real deal, Joe Brady calling plays.

1425
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 2: They seem to have found their way. Buffalo is a

1426
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 2: big time contender, as is Houston. Houston starts the season

1427
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,639
Speaker 2: two and zero. The rest of the division is winless.

1428
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 2: Lock them in their contenders. Finally, the Kansas City Chiefs.

1429
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 2: Do you really doubt this team? Their culture, you know

1430
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 2: their roster, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, They even backfill in

1431
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 2: with some speedy receivers. I believe the Chiefs are big

1432
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 2: time contenders. So of those teams I just mentioned, I

1433
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 2: expect all but maybe two to make the playoffs. How

1434
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 2: about the O and two teams. We're gonna get to

1435
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 2: those up at the top of the hour. Coming up next,

1436
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 2: our guy Shay had some very strong thoughts about Kayleb Williams,

1437
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,679
Speaker 2: and he's not wrong. He's not wrong from this stand.

1438
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 2: I got chased back on this, and you know, we'll

1439
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 2: see what happens as the rest of the system, as

1440
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 2: the rest of this season plays out. But if you're

1441
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 2: gonna tell me, you're gonna sing the praises of Caleb

1442
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 2: Williams when he I don't think he was great at USC.

1443
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 2: Everything's theoretical. He certainly wasn't great at He certainly wasn't

1444
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 2: great at AT in the preseason, and he hasn't been

1445
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 2: great in the regular season. So don't tell me show me.

1446
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:19,720
Speaker 2: We'll get Shay's thoughts coming up. I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're

1447
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 2: coming to live from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, Tyrock

1448
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 2: dot Com Studios. Keep it locked right here. You listen

1449
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 2: to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right,

1450
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 2: back on the Bernie Frattles Show, it's time for the

1451
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 2: Caleb watch. As we head into the third week of

1452
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 2: the season. Let's set this up. My guy Shay clearly

1453
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 2: pointed out beginning the season had some predictions which I'm

1454
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 2: gonna turn over to him in a second, but let's

1455
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 2: revisit ever so quickly, his debut against the Titans, Williams

1456
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 2: didn't want anybody, fourteen to twenty nine for eighty three yards,

1457
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 2: no touchdowns, and somehow the Bears pull it out. You

1458
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 2: go from an underwhelming performance to a debut on Sendinette

1459
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 2: against Demico Ryans not so great there as well. And

1460
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, I know it's never

1461
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:05,720
Speaker 2: easy for rookies, but when you hold out of the

1462
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 2: ball too long, which was an issue, and you haven't

1463
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 2: been particularly accurate, which is becoming an issue, it's starting

1464
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 2: to raise the myebro. So Shaye take it away, give

1465
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 2: us your thoughts, because so far you're looking like a profit.

1466
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 11: I mean, yeah, Bernie, So last week I was kind of,

1467
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 11: I kind of just I didn't go too deep into it,

1468
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 11: but I said, Kayleb Williams is going to be a bust.

1469
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,879
Speaker 11: And I came to that conclusion just because from quarterback,

1470
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,599
Speaker 11: he was a big play quarterback. He made big throws,

1471
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 11: he was accurate, but he didn't really have great down

1472
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 11: vision when it came to just doing five yard ten

1473
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 11: yard passes. He really relied on his big arm, which

1474
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:40,559
Speaker 11: which is great for college quarterbacks, but when you come

1475
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 11: to the NFL, you can't just start slinging. And unfortunately

1476
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 11: for him, he got picked by the Bears, which aren't

1477
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:49,479
Speaker 11: really good, I mean behind the Browns probably, they aren't

1478
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 11: really good at getting their quarterbacks ready for the NFL.

1479
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 11: And throwing him in Week one, it just I knew

1480
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 11: it wasn't going to be good for him, and I

1481
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 11: mean I was saying it to you during the break.

1482
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 11: He's been sacked nine times, which is the most out

1483
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 11: of any quarterback in the NFL right now. So I mean,

1484
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 11: I don't think the Bears did the right things in

1485
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 11: terms of putting the right people around him making the

1486
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 11: O line right and just making him feel safe in

1487
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 11: the backfield. I just I think that this is just

1488
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 11: it's going to be disaster tomorrow again against the Colts

1489
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 11: again because the Colts are just they're trying to get

1490
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 11: their defense is trying to make it a resurgence, and

1491
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,680
Speaker 11: I really don't think the Bears offense is going to

1492
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:29,840
Speaker 11: be able to do anything at all against any team

1493
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 11: this year. So again that's why I think Caleb Williams

1494
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:34,680
Speaker 11: is going to be a bus But who knows. He

1495
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 11: can definitely turn it around, but again I just think

1496
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 11: his biggest his biggest sin is being on the Bears.

1497
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see, and so far you're right where we

1498
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 2: visit this next week. Look, Caleb Williams relied a lout

1499
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 2: on his athleticism in college. The level of athlete in

1500
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,760
Speaker 2: the NFL's far superior, and the Bears had nothing to

1501
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,160
Speaker 2: do with him throwing into triple coverage when trying to

1502
01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 2: avoid a sack that was an interception. He had two

1503
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 2: terrible last week and still holds the ball too long.

1504
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,559
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. We're not picking on him,

1505
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 2: we're just calling him as we see him. So so

1506
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 2: far shay your observations on kleb or spot on. Let's

1507
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 2: see what happens next week. We'll give them us flowers

1508
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 2: if he does better. Coming up, we look at the

1509
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,639
Speaker 2: O and two teams who are contenders. Keep it locked.

1510
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:23,280
Speaker 2: This is with the Bernie Fratles Show on Fox Sports Radio. Yep,

1518
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 2: have sung the praises of the teams who started out

1519
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 2: two to zero this year, and there are several the chiefs,

1520
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:04,760
Speaker 2: the Techxon's, the Bills, the Vikings, Tampa Bay, Seattle, the

1521
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 2: Saints Pittsburgh, and the Los Angeles Chargers. And history tells

1522
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 2: us that when you do that, give about a sixty

1523
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:15,560
Speaker 2: five percent chance to make it the playoffs. When you

1524
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 2: start out oh to two. If you go back to

1525
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:20,639
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy you've only got about a nine percent chance

1526
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 2: to make it the playoffs. But I'm going to start

1527
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 2: with the team that I think will make the playoffs,

1528
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 2: even though they started out O one, two and frankly,

1529
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,600
Speaker 2: that's been their history. Talking about the Cincinnati Bengals, for

1530
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 2: the third straight season, they raised their own degree of

1531
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 2: difficulty back, causing all the adversity for themselves. Now, that

1532
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 2: didn't work last season because Joe Burrow went down, but

1533
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 2: two years ago they got off the mat and they

1534
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 2: ended up going to the playoffs and did pretty well

1535
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 2: for themselves. The good news for the Bengals is even

1536
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 2: though the Steelers are two to zero, the Browns are

1537
01:20:56,240 --> 01:21:01,799
Speaker 2: one and one, and the reigning AFC North champion Ravens

1538
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:05,680
Speaker 2: are also zero and two, the schedule for Cincinnati gets

1539
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,599
Speaker 2: immediately better now that they're back on track. I think

1540
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 2: offensively and defensively. You know, they got the Commanders and

1541
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 2: Panthers and coming up here, and there's no question I

1542
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 2: think Cincinnati gets back on track. As long as Joe

1543
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 2: Burrows stays healthy, I'm going to call the zero to

1544
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 2: two Cincinnati Bengals contenders. I'm also gonna hold my nose

1545
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 2: and call the Ravens contenders. I don't like what I see,

1546
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:36,640
Speaker 2: not athletically, not schematically. It's just there's something about their

1547
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 2: execution and high leverage moments. The Ravens couldn't get the

1548
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 2: final touchdown they needed to beat the Chiefs in Week

1549
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 2: one of their season opener in Kansas City. They couldn't

1550
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 2: do enough to hold off the Raiders last week at

1551
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 2: home week two, even though they were nine and a

1552
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 2: half point favorites. And so you start off the season

1553
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 2: by a rally falling short, and then you blow a

1554
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 2: ten point lead. And here's what's interesting. The Ravens threw

1555
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:05,439
Speaker 2: the ball well, they ran the ball well, and their

1556
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 2: defensive stats were fighting against the Raiders. All those stats

1557
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 2: indicated they should have won. But then again, Baltimore was

1558
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:15,839
Speaker 2: only three for eleven on third downs and they committed

1559
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:19,679
Speaker 2: eleven penalties for one hundred and five yards. So Baltimore

1560
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 2: was sloppy. It cost a team a close game. They

1561
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 2: can't do that against their upcoming opponents, the Cowboys coming

1562
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,879
Speaker 2: up here at about twelve hours. The Bills, the Bengals,

1563
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 2: and the Bucks are for their next five opponents. So

1564
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 2: you allow the Raiders to catch fire. In the fourth

1565
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 2: quarter of all the games, you're gonna find grinding out.

1566
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 2: That's when you're gonna look back in which you had back.

1567
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:48,840
Speaker 2: But be that as it may, I'm still gonna hold

1568
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 2: my nose and call the Ravens contenders because I think

1569
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:54,719
Speaker 2: they can come back, and they're owing to. They're fifteen

1570
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 2: games left. Can they go for instance eleven and four

1571
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 2: of their next fifteen They can, but they have to

1572
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 2: do it. The Indianapolis Colts, they're zero and too. Consider

1573
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 2: them pretenders. Anthony Richardson can do some amazing things, and

1574
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 2: one minute later you ask yourself why he's even in

1575
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:16,800
Speaker 2: the NFL. He's going to need help from Jonathan Taylor.

1576
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 2: He's been getting it. He's got some deep play targets

1577
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 2: which you'll hit down then. But the other side of

1578
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 2: the ball is very concerning. The Colts defense is very

1579
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 2: concerning you. They looked very poor. The Colts did their

1580
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 2: first two weeks against the Texans and the Packers, who

1581
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 2: both run the ball very effectively, and so Indianapolis on

1582
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 2: defense has a lot of holes that are exploitable, and

1583
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:43,679
Speaker 2: so they're going to need Anthony Richardson not to flash

1584
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 2: some of the time. But all the time, and he's

1585
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 2: been erratic. So the Colts, they're with the Bears, the

1586
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:53,719
Speaker 2: Steelers next. They got a real challenge to avoid going

1587
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:57,600
Speaker 2: zero to four. I'm gonna call the Colts big time pretenders.

1588
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 2: The Jacksonville Jaguars got to call them pretenders. Also, they're

1589
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:05,000
Speaker 2: owing to Trevor Lawrence. He's not lived up to his contract,

1590
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 2: not even close. He's got a new wide receiver corps.

1591
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 2: He's doing the best he can. Jackson's The Jaguars running

1592
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:15,640
Speaker 2: game has been very inconsistent. The defense is also kind of,

1593
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 2: you know, up and down. Despite the fact they do

1594
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 2: have a lot of young talent. This is a team

1595
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 2: that's under to you if you look at their roster

1596
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,519
Speaker 2: and Doug Peterson, I think is a good coach. But

1597
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 2: they're a disappointing team. And if this keeps up, you're

1598
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 2: already hearing whispers that you know, Doug Peterson could be

1599
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 2: in trouble. The Rams they're owing too. I'm sorry, they're pretenders.

1600
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:44,800
Speaker 2: They completely profile pretenders and every aspect. All right. They

1601
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:48,120
Speaker 2: don't have Pooka Nakua, they don't have Cooper Cup right now,

1602
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 2: when you have Kyraen Williams Nakua and Cooper Cup with Stafford,

1603
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 2: that gives them a nice base for a very good offense.

1604
01:24:56,240 --> 01:25:00,080
Speaker 2: The problem is the defense. Without Aaron Donald and he

1605
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:03,680
Speaker 2: Morris left, they have too many young key pieces to

1606
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,600
Speaker 2: try to keep glued together to put the semblance of

1607
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 2: an NFL defense on the field. The Rams get gashed

1608
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 2: against the run game, and they've been burned on big

1609
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:16,560
Speaker 2: pass plays. You saw what happened against the Lions, and

1610
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:20,560
Speaker 2: the Cardinals did plenty of damage through the air. The

1611
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:23,839
Speaker 2: Rams are in big trouble. They're missing too many offensive

1612
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 2: pieces and their defense is full of holes. I think

1613
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:31,439
Speaker 2: it's the Rams are They've started slow and they're gonna

1614
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 2: fade big time. Pretenders are own two Denver Broncos. I

1615
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 2: got to call them pretenders as well. They're owing to

1616
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 2: their offense stinks in every which way so far, bo

1617
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:44,600
Speaker 2: Nix looks very underwhelmed. Sean Payton has dumbed down the

1618
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 2: passing game that he's created. Javonte Williams is non existent.

1619
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened to the running game. The

1620
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 2: defense is actually hung in there. Haven't really been susceptible

1621
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 2: to the past, But all you gotta do is run

1622
01:25:56,760 --> 01:26:00,640
Speaker 2: the ball against Denver because Denver can't score, and I

1623
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 2: think they're going to have a lot of struggles ahead.

1624
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 2: You've got, you know, the Broncos are going to be

1625
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:09,040
Speaker 2: facing some very good defenses coming up the Bucks. They'll

1626
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 2: go to sleep on the Bucks. They got maybe the

1627
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 2: best defensive front seven in football. The Jets, Raiders, Chargers,

1628
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:17,719
Speaker 2: next five games, Saints. All those defenses are above average.

1629
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:21,599
Speaker 2: The Broncos are not only pretenders, they'll be completely out

1630
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 2: of contention probably by Halloween. Tennessee Titans, they've hung in

1631
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 2: there in a couple of tight games versus the Bears

1632
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:30,639
Speaker 2: and Jets. They had a seventeen point lead against the Bears.

1633
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:34,519
Speaker 2: Will Lewistow appears to be a major work in progress,

1634
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:37,639
Speaker 2: and you've got too many new players to put together

1635
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:41,440
Speaker 2: new coaching. I think this team can actually be competitive

1636
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 2: and get better throughout the season, but they're not going

1637
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 2: to avoid being pretenders. So chalk to Tennessee Titans is

1638
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 2: another zero and T two team that we're going to

1639
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:56,679
Speaker 2: put in the pretender category. Boy, As I joked earlier

1640
01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 2: with Steve Fessik, the New York Giants, if they were

1641
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 2: a fight, they would have stopped it I realized that

1642
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones paid a little better to Washington face the

1643
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 2: much easier defense than a kicker gets hurt. My god,

1644
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 2: but listen, you know, DEBI why bother? The Giants are

1645
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:19,320
Speaker 2: what we thought they were, shaky their pretenders. Let's move on. Finally,

1646
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,519
Speaker 2: the Carolina Panthers. Kind of curious to see what the

1647
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers look like coming up here in a few hours,

1648
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 2: will be at the Raider game. You hate to do

1649
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:36,040
Speaker 2: this kind of stuff because you're dealing with professional athletes.

1650
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 2: But if you skip ahead to Week ten, there'll be

1651
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 2: a game played in Munich and Germany, and I'm sure

1652
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:47,679
Speaker 2: beer sales will flow well because the two teams playing

1653
01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:49,839
Speaker 2: are the Giants. So I just mentioned in the Panthers

1654
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 2: in Munich that game should decide who's going to get

1655
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:57,439
Speaker 2: the number one draft pick. Look, I'm gonna go out

1656
01:27:57,479 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 2: on a limb and assume that whoever loses that game's

1657
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 2: probably going to get the first round draft for the

1658
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:07,679
Speaker 2: number one overall draft pick. Carolina should be used to it, right, Look,

1659
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 2: they're owing to their absolute pretenders. So all of the Giants,

1660
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:17,839
Speaker 2: the Panthers, the Titans, Broncos, Rams, Jaguars, Colts, Ravens, and Bengals.

1661
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,639
Speaker 2: Of all those teams, and that might be being generous,

1662
01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:26,519
Speaker 2: only the Bengals and Ravens are contenders. These statistics, these

1663
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 2: numbers that you hear that are born out over decades,

1664
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:34,599
Speaker 2: are true. If you start out two and zero sixty

1665
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 2: five percent of the you know you, sixty five percent

1666
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:40,800
Speaker 2: of those end up making the playoffs, you start out

1667
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 2: zero and two ninety one percent. Don't pretty hard to

1668
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:47,400
Speaker 2: argue against what we've seen. We looked ahead with Steve

1669
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 2: Ezick broke down every game. Let's take a minute to

1670
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 2: look backward because a lot of times what happened the

1671
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:57,479
Speaker 2: week before can give you some perspective on what is ahead.

1672
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 2: So coming up, I will share with you who I've

1673
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 2: identified as the NFL Week two winners and losers as

1674
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 2: we head into Week three. Hey, football fans, be sure

1699
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:22,680
Speaker 2: the air. Week two of the National Football League kind

1700
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:25,920
Speaker 2: of had a theme I would call it upset Sunday.

1701
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:29,320
Speaker 2: Why because if you were to take a role call

1702
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 2: of what the group think, Gecko Chamber had listened as

1703
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:38,360
Speaker 2: the legitimate Super Bowl contenders, and every one of these

1704
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 2: teams were favored by at least five and a half points,

1705
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:43,680
Speaker 2: and they all lost out right. We start with the

1706
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,640
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers. They got smoked by the

1707
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings. They got taken apart. The Dallas Cowboys completely

1708
01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:55,360
Speaker 2: mollu op by the New Orleans Saints. The Baltimore Ravens,

1709
01:30:55,760 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 2: you saw what happened there, nine and a half point favorites,

1710
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 2: the Raiders overcome a ten point ever, sit and get

1711
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:04,680
Speaker 2: the job done. The Detroit Lions everybody's trendy favorite. Now

1712
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stroll into Detroit. They take care

1713
01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:12,840
Speaker 2: of business. So you could, I think reasonably call it

1714
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:18,120
Speaker 2: upset Sunday. Now, those are all pretty good teams. I'm

1715
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 2: not big on Dallas, but these are teams that are

1716
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 2: good teams. Niners, Ravens, Lions. Okay, but it's undeniable that

1717
01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:31,080
Speaker 2: one of two things are gonna happen. They're going to

1718
01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 2: develop a concerning pattern, which I think is going to

1719
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:39,840
Speaker 2: happen in Dallas and or you're gonna fix it. Now,

1720
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:43,800
Speaker 2: Baltimore is a team of concern. I think as well.

1721
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:47,479
Speaker 2: They now have ten losses. The Ravens, believe it or not,

1722
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:51,960
Speaker 2: has had ten situations in whence they've lost a game

1723
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:54,280
Speaker 2: that they had to lead by at least seven points.

1724
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 2: This has happened ten times now in the last four seasons.

1725
01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 2: That's problematic. And should the Ravens lose in Dallas here

1726
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:07,800
Speaker 2: coming up in about twelve hours, well it'd be the

1727
01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:11,759
Speaker 2: only the second time in franchise history that the Ravens

1728
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:13,880
Speaker 2: started out zero to three. The last time was twenty fifteen.

1729
01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:16,640
Speaker 2: But in every week, whether or not you're on your

1730
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:18,360
Speaker 2: way to the super Bowl or not, there are winners

1731
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:23,640
Speaker 2: and losers based on the positivity. Let's take a look

1732
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:27,000
Speaker 2: at the green Bay Packers. Clearly winners. Now, why do

1733
01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:32,479
Speaker 2: I say that? It had to be horrifying to see

1734
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:35,400
Speaker 2: Jordan Love go down Week one toward the end of

1735
01:32:35,439 --> 01:32:38,080
Speaker 2: the game that knee injury. No one knew what the

1736
01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:42,280
Speaker 2: initial diagnosis is going to be. People thought you six

1737
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:46,800
Speaker 2: weeks But not only has Green Bay been the beneficiary

1738
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:51,880
Speaker 2: of some positive news. First, Jordan Love's injury apparently was

1739
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:56,840
Speaker 2: not as serious as it originally appeared. Secondly, so far,

1740
01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:01,040
Speaker 2: the offense has been fine during Jordan Love's time away,

1741
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:04,680
Speaker 2: and we believe Jordan Love will play week four. How

1742
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 2: did Green Bay do it, hey, the old fashioned way

1743
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 2: they ran it. Packers ran the ball fifty three times

1744
01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 2: last week, ten times more than the next closest team,

1745
01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 2: which was the Chargers. Imagine that running the ball ten

1746
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:22,280
Speaker 2: more times than Jim Harbaugh's Chargers did. And they had

1747
01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:26,080
Speaker 2: kind of this moderate passing attack and the truth of

1748
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:30,519
Speaker 2: the matter is it was effective. Maybe not sensational, but

1749
01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:35,519
Speaker 2: it was efficient. And you really can't give Malik Willis

1750
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:38,639
Speaker 2: too big of a workload when it comes to passing.

1751
01:33:39,400 --> 01:33:44,160
Speaker 2: But you know, under his tutelage, as it were, green

1752
01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:46,519
Speaker 2: Bay managed to sustain drives and they double up the

1753
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts in time of possession and won sixteen to ten.

1754
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:54,360
Speaker 2: And now the Packers have two upcoming opponents, the Titans

1755
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:58,960
Speaker 2: and Vikings, that have tough defenses. But here's the beauty.

1756
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:02,600
Speaker 2: They don't need to rush Jordan Love back at the

1757
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:05,920
Speaker 2: risk of falling behind because only the Vikings are two

1758
01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:07,320
Speaker 2: and all. But be that as it may. I do

1759
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:09,600
Speaker 2: think you're gonna see love next week. So when you

1760
01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:13,640
Speaker 2: consider how the Packer season started with the injury and

1761
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 2: how they've acquitted themselves since they're in the winter category,

1762
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:21,639
Speaker 2: how about Jonathan Gannon and the Arizona Cardinals. They keep

1763
01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:25,040
Speaker 2: winning and they win big games. Now, this only goes

1764
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:29,040
Speaker 2: down as the fifth victory in Jonathan Gannon, their new

1765
01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:33,880
Speaker 2: head coach, with his eighteen games with the team. However,

1766
01:34:34,560 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 2: think about it, Arizona has a kind of a high ceiling.

1767
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:42,840
Speaker 2: They've beaten the Cowboys, the Falcons, the Steelers of Philadelphia, Eagles.

1768
01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 2: Now that was all in twenty twenty three. Now they

1769
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:46,960
Speaker 2: hammer the Rams, but they don't just hammer them, they

1770
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:51,479
Speaker 2: hammer them forty one to ten. That was the most

1771
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:55,880
Speaker 2: complete game that the Arizona Cardinals are played under Jonathan Gannon,

1772
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:59,760
Speaker 2: who appears to have a pretty good uh. I would say,

1773
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:02,639
Speaker 2: what a good grip on things. So far, Cayler Murray

1774
01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:07,559
Speaker 2: looks healthy, he looks motivated. The passing attack has flourished,

1775
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:12,960
Speaker 2: and so far, it looks like Kyler Murray is really

1776
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 2: starting to build his report with Marvin Harrison. Junior Cardinals

1777
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:18,880
Speaker 2: gained two hundred and thirty one yards on the ground

1778
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:21,599
Speaker 2: last week and forty carries, that's a big number. It's

1779
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 2: almost six yards of carry. The defense limited the Rams

1780
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:29,200
Speaker 2: to only two third down conversions, and Arizona also put

1781
01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:32,600
Speaker 2: up almost five hundred yards of offense. I get it,

1782
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:36,280
Speaker 2: the Rams didn't have Puka Nakua, but this was total domination.

1783
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:41,439
Speaker 2: After week two, you have to put the Cardinals in

1784
01:35:41,479 --> 01:35:45,479
Speaker 2: the thumbs up category. I'm happy to see Sam Donald

1785
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:50,240
Speaker 2: having the success he's having. He now after JJ McCarthy

1786
01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:53,840
Speaker 2: had his season ending injury, became unchallenged as the Viking

1787
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:58,400
Speaker 2: starting quarterback. But guess what, Sam Donald at least so far, again,

1788
01:35:59,120 --> 01:36:02,599
Speaker 2: he's making the most opportunity. One week after they dominate

1789
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:05,559
Speaker 2: the New York Giants. Okay, do with that what you will,

1790
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:08,880
Speaker 2: but he went on to carve up what might be

1791
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:13,519
Speaker 2: end up being the best defense in the National Football League.

1792
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:17,120
Speaker 2: How what he did. What Sam Donald and the Vikings

1793
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:20,959
Speaker 2: did against the forty nine Ers last week is incredibly impressive.

1794
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:23,800
Speaker 2: They beat the Niners twenty three to seventeen. Well, it's

1795
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:29,280
Speaker 2: more remarkable Jordan Addison TJ. Hockinson were both out and

1796
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:33,200
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson had to leave the game early. Donald's completed

1797
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:36,120
Speaker 2: seventy two percent of his passes this season. He's thrown

1798
01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:38,840
Speaker 2: for just under five hundred yards, four touchdowns, two interceptions.

1799
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:42,400
Speaker 2: It's only two games in. As always with Donald, as

1800
01:36:42,439 --> 01:36:44,960
Speaker 2: long as he didn't turn the ball over, doesn't try

1801
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:47,880
Speaker 2: to play hero ball, plays within the offense. I think

1802
01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:51,120
Speaker 2: he's more than a serviceable quarterback and under Kevin O'Connell's tutelage,

1803
01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:54,160
Speaker 2: even if he's not in Minnesota. Remember he's only got

1804
01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:56,960
Speaker 2: a one year deal in Minnesota. Sam Donald is making

1805
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 2: a case for himself that he's got a role in

1806
01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:02,679
Speaker 2: the National Fall League after you know, pretty rough starts

1807
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:06,040
Speaker 2: in New York and Carolina, so you'd have to put

1808
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold into plus category. Finally, how about Antonio Pears.

1809
01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 2: You know the history of interim coaches getting a full

1810
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:21,320
Speaker 2: time gig in the NFL that doesn't necessarily rate well

1811
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:24,000
Speaker 2: when it comes to long term success. There's been a couple,

1812
01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:27,000
Speaker 2: but for the most part, the odds are against it.

1813
01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:30,679
Speaker 2: The Raiders had lost seven other previous eight road games

1814
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:35,160
Speaker 2: going into Sunday. All the Raiders did was going to

1815
01:37:35,240 --> 01:37:38,080
Speaker 2: Baltimore and completely steal a game as a nine and

1816
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:41,000
Speaker 2: a half point underdog. Against the Ravens. Team thought to

1817
01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:44,120
Speaker 2: be a very short list on the Super Bowl contender list,

1818
01:37:44,160 --> 01:37:46,840
Speaker 2: and they may still be. They blew the ten point lead.

1819
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:49,320
Speaker 2: The one thing you can say about this Raiders team

1820
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:53,320
Speaker 2: is they do fight. They fought and Max Crosby, they

1821
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 2: got a couple of big time playmakers. It's not been

1822
01:37:56,439 --> 01:38:00,679
Speaker 2: without obstacles, but it feels like Antonio Piers says really

1823
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:04,040
Speaker 2: turned the culture around in Las Vegas. Now, does that

1824
01:38:04,120 --> 01:38:06,160
Speaker 2: mean they're gonna win ten games? I didn't say that.

1825
01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:10,000
Speaker 2: I didn't say that. But in Sunday's twenty six to

1826
01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:15,240
Speaker 2: twenty three win again. When you go into you know,

1827
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:20,120
Speaker 2: when you go into Baltimore and you're down ten points

1828
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:23,320
Speaker 2: with seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter, and

1829
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 2: let's not forget on the other side of the ball

1830
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:29,800
Speaker 2: is rating MVP Lamar Jackson. Then the Raiders closed it

1831
01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 2: to seven points of the field goal, and then they

1832
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:37,000
Speaker 2: played real complimentary football. The defense clamped down big time.

1833
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:40,680
Speaker 2: They forced consecutive three and outs against Baltimore, did not

1834
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:42,439
Speaker 2: allow them to get back to a two score lead.

1835
01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 2: And by the way, make no mistake, I think the

1836
01:38:45,439 --> 01:38:48,760
Speaker 2: Raiders have a legitimate identity now it's their defense. We'll

1837
01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:50,519
Speaker 2: see what they do the rest of the way. But again,

1838
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:53,439
Speaker 2: we're only two weeks in the show's tonight, we got

1839
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:56,640
Speaker 2: to talk about the here and now. The defense is

1840
01:38:56,680 --> 01:38:59,800
Speaker 2: their identity. And oh, by the way, for the entire

1841
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,840
Speaker 2: the game, Baltimore was only three of eleven on third

1842
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:06,840
Speaker 2: down conversions twenty seven percent. Baltimore has the much better roster,

1843
01:39:07,560 --> 01:39:11,320
Speaker 2: but guess what, the Raiders had far more heart and

1844
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:14,760
Speaker 2: they very much showed it on Sunday. So in the

1845
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:20,479
Speaker 2: plus category winners Antonio Pierce, Sam Darnold, Jonathan Gannon in

1846
01:39:20,520 --> 01:39:23,120
Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals, and give it up to the Green

1847
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:26,879
Speaker 2: Bay Packers. They were dealt some lemons and they made lemonade.

1848
01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:31,439
Speaker 2: At least so far. Those are the winners. Well, for

1849
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:34,160
Speaker 2: every winner, there's a loser, and there's four which I'm

1850
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 2: going to share with you coming up. But first let's

1851
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:41,120
Speaker 2: go back to our guy, Steve de Seger with the latest.

1852
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:44,960
Speaker 6: Let's start with college football tonight, easy wins for number

1853
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 6: one Texas, number three Ohio State, and number five ranked

1854
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:52,080
Speaker 6: Old Miss. Number six Tennessee won impressively at Oklahoma twenty

1855
01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:54,360
Speaker 6: five to fifteen. The balls lead in the fourth quarter

1856
01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:57,400
Speaker 6: was twenty two to three. Seventh ranked Missouri got a

1857
01:39:57,439 --> 01:40:01,320
Speaker 6: double overtime victory over Vanderbilts thirty to twenty seven as

1858
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:03,960
Speaker 6: Vandy missed a thirty one yard field goal attempt at

1859
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:07,080
Speaker 6: the end. Wins for Miami and Penn State and for

1860
01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 6: Michigan on a touchdown run in the final minute, beating

1861
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:12,880
Speaker 6: USC twenty seven to twenty four, even though Michigan had

1862
01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:16,000
Speaker 6: just thirty two yards passing in the game seven for twelve.

1863
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:19,440
Speaker 6: Twelfth ranked Utah led twenty two to three at Oklahoma

1864
01:40:19,479 --> 01:40:22,040
Speaker 6: State with under six minutes left utes win at twenty

1865
01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:24,560
Speaker 6: two to nineteen. Oklahoma State was ranked fourteenth in the

1866
01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 6: country this week. BYU beat number thirteen Kansas State thirty

1867
01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:31,120
Speaker 6: eight nine, even though BYU trailed six to nothing late

1868
01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:34,360
Speaker 6: first half, and Buffalo in overtime won at number twenty

1869
01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:38,000
Speaker 6: three Northern Illinois twenty three twenty. The NASCAR winner was

1870
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:40,680
Speaker 6: Kyle Larson at Bristol, his fifth victory of the year.

1871
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 6: Major League Baseball has about a week left in the

1872
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:47,000
Speaker 6: regular season. The Yankee Saturday Night pounded Oakland ten nothing

1873
01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:50,200
Speaker 6: Aaron Judge with his fifty fourth homer, and Baltimore lost

1874
01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:52,720
Speaker 6: at home in ten innings to Detroit six to four.

1875
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:55,439
Speaker 6: So the Yankees first in the AL East, now five

1876
01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:57,879
Speaker 6: games ahead of Baltimore starting on Tuesday.

1877
01:40:57,960 --> 01:40:59,360
Speaker 7: Baltimore at the Yankees.

1878
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:02,400
Speaker 6: Starting on Tuesday, It's the Padres at Dodgers, and the

1879
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:05,680
Speaker 6: LA lead in the NLS, just three games over the Padres.

1880
01:41:05,720 --> 01:41:09,639
Speaker 6: Now Dodgers lost at home. Padres won at home. Mets

1881
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:12,479
Speaker 6: and Braves each one Saturday. Braves still two games out

1882
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 6: of the last NL wildcard spot starting on Tuesday.

1883
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:16,479
Speaker 5: Mets at Braves.

1884
01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:19,639
Speaker 6: Royals lost their six game in a row, Arizona one.

1885
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:23,400
Speaker 6: It's fourth straight. Minnesota at Boston reigned out victories for

1886
01:41:23,479 --> 01:41:26,960
Speaker 6: Houston and Seattle and to the NFL. Texans running back

1887
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 6: Joe Mixon is out for Sunday with an ankle injury.

1888
01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:32,000
Speaker 6: Forty nine Ers tight end George Kittle out with a

1889
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:36,000
Speaker 6: hamstring injury. Jacksonville tighten Evan Ingram out again this weekend

1890
01:41:36,080 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 6: with a hamstring injury. I'm Steve Desager.

1891
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Steve, appreciate it. So who were the

1892
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:47,960
Speaker 2: losers coming out of Week two in the National Football League. Well,

1893
01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 2: I got to start with Chicago's offensive line. You heard

1894
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,599
Speaker 2: Shane mentioned earlier that Caleb Williams has been sacked nine

1895
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:58,080
Speaker 2: times this year. And even if Caleb Williams is not

1896
01:41:58,200 --> 01:41:59,880
Speaker 2: known for getting the ball out of his hand quickly,

1897
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:03,559
Speaker 2: let's be fair, Chicago's offensive line has not been great.

1898
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:06,160
Speaker 2: The Bears did make an adjustment from Week one to

1899
01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:09,160
Speaker 2: week two to try to get Caleb Williams to get

1900
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:12,919
Speaker 2: the ball out quicker, and early on against the Texans,

1901
01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:16,720
Speaker 2: it felt like Caleb Williams had a little bit of

1902
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:19,360
Speaker 2: a rhythm and started to distribute some passes around the field.

1903
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:22,760
Speaker 2: But as the game wore on Chicago's front, they could

1904
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 2: not hold their blocks long enough for even quick release throws,

1905
01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:29,519
Speaker 2: which was only exacerbated by the team being an obvious

1906
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:33,200
Speaker 2: passing downs. They're down in distant situation with brutal all night.

1907
01:42:33,720 --> 01:42:37,000
Speaker 2: To be fair again, Caleb Williams, He's made his share

1908
01:42:37,040 --> 01:42:41,040
Speaker 2: of mistakes, a couple of terrible underthrows that resulted in interceptions.

1909
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:44,519
Speaker 2: One was in a triple coverage. Still, it's tough enough

1910
01:42:44,560 --> 01:42:46,360
Speaker 2: to be a quarterback in this league. Tough enough to

1911
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:48,680
Speaker 2: be a rookie quarterback in this league. When you have

1912
01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:51,760
Speaker 2: seven sacks and eleven quarterback hits in a single game,

1913
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:56,320
Speaker 2: that's a recipe for well, you know what to fill

1914
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:59,439
Speaker 2: in the blank there, Chicago's OH line does need to

1915
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:02,080
Speaker 2: do better. By the way, what happened to all those

1916
01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:06,840
Speaker 2: fine folks at ESPN that said they thought, and I'm paraphrasing,

1917
01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:10,040
Speaker 2: not quoting, that Caleb was walking into the best situation

1918
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:14,240
Speaker 2: ever for a rookie quarterback, or a first round quarterback,

1919
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:16,680
Speaker 2: or a number one overall pick quarterback. I don't know.

1920
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:20,479
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, maybe they'll be proving me wrong. I

1921
01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:22,960
Speaker 2: don't want to be that guy. Maybe neatly ignoring that

1922
01:43:23,200 --> 01:43:25,679
Speaker 2: I've always thought Dan Marino walked into the best situation

1923
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:28,439
Speaker 2: ever of a first round guy. He's drafted back in

1924
01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:31,240
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty three. Remember he was the sixth the six quarterbacks,

1925
01:43:31,640 --> 01:43:33,840
Speaker 2: so there were low expectations. Then he went to a

1926
01:43:33,880 --> 01:43:37,320
Speaker 2: team called the Miami Dolphins. The Miami Dolphins had just

1927
01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:39,720
Speaker 2: come off a Super Bowl, so he's joining a super

1928
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:42,680
Speaker 2: Bowl roster with low expectations, and he was coached by

1929
01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:45,439
Speaker 2: Don Shula, a true quarterback whisperer. That might have been

1930
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:47,880
Speaker 2: a little bit better situation than Kayleb Williams, But I

1931
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:51,439
Speaker 2: make no excuses for Kleb Williams. You think CJ. Stroud

1932
01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:54,200
Speaker 2: walked into a great situation last year. It's up to

1933
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:59,000
Speaker 2: you sometimes who were losers last week? Sorry, gotta call

1934
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 2: it as I see it. The Lions got into the

1935
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:03,479
Speaker 2: red zone, that offense looked like a drunk ground across

1936
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:05,960
Speaker 2: the nicy street. They lost to the Bucks twenty to

1937
01:44:06,040 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 2: sixteen to seven point favorites. Detroit had count them seven

1938
01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:15,559
Speaker 2: trips inside the twenty seven trips into the end zone

1939
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:19,680
Speaker 2: into the red zone. Typically that's a pretty good indicator

1940
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:23,640
Speaker 2: that you've got ball control and you're dominating offensively. But

1941
01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:29,560
Speaker 2: for the Lions, the results showed there was genuine ineptitude

1942
01:44:30,479 --> 01:44:34,120
Speaker 2: inside the twenty inside the red zone. From those seven trips,

1943
01:44:34,160 --> 01:44:37,360
Speaker 2: they only got one touchdown. That's fourteen percent. That's not

1944
01:44:37,439 --> 01:44:40,760
Speaker 2: a winning formula Since two thousand. That would mark the

1945
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:44,439
Speaker 2: second worst performance in offensive red zone efficiency when the

1946
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:48,000
Speaker 2: team had at least seven trips inside the twenty yard line.

1947
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:52,040
Speaker 2: That's not good. Detroit was completely out of sorts on

1948
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:54,720
Speaker 2: offense the entire game. And by the way, you have

1949
01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:57,640
Speaker 2: to get some credit Buccaneer's coach, Todd Bowles and his

1950
01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:01,000
Speaker 2: defense obviously deserve a town a credit. And I said,

1951
01:45:01,040 --> 01:45:03,639
Speaker 2: I've said it three times on the show. Now, Tampa

1952
01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:08,800
Speaker 2: Bay's defensive front seven is very good. Constantly pressure Jared Goff,

1953
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:12,320
Speaker 2: constantly hit Jared Goff. They were moving, they were pushing

1954
01:45:12,360 --> 01:45:16,760
Speaker 2: that line's offensive line, which is very good backwards. As

1955
01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:19,640
Speaker 2: a result, a lot of the Lions plays were designed horizontally.

1956
01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:22,679
Speaker 2: You know, one of his better efforts. Right, He's gonna

1957
01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:27,040
Speaker 2: have to wear this one, all right. The Dallas Cowboys

1958
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:32,559
Speaker 2: hired Mike zimmer and as their new offensive defensive coordinator.

1959
01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:35,920
Speaker 2: And four years ago, Mike Zimmer was actually head coach

1960
01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:44,519
Speaker 2: of the Vikings and Zimmer saw, you know, he saw

1961
01:45:44,640 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara score six touchdowns in a single game. Now,

1962
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:52,439
Speaker 2: now as the defensive coordinator to the Cowboys, he watched

1963
01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:57,439
Speaker 2: Kamara ripoff four more. He's you know, Zimmer is gonna

1964
01:45:57,479 --> 01:46:01,439
Speaker 2: have Alvin Kamara. He's gonna have nightmares about Alvin Kamara.

1965
01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 2: Every time he coaches, Alvin Kamara always scored like ten

1966
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:07,439
Speaker 2: touchdowns against him. This last week, Kamara had one hundred

1967
01:46:07,439 --> 01:46:09,960
Speaker 2: and eight yards from scrimmage on twenty two touches. More importantly,

1968
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:14,519
Speaker 2: for the Cowboys, it was a home opener. They had

1969
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:18,800
Speaker 2: won sixteen straight home regular season games and all of

1970
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:21,519
Speaker 2: a sudden. Their last two home games, the playoff game

1971
01:46:21,520 --> 01:46:24,800
Speaker 2: against Green Bay and now this game against this last

1972
01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:27,800
Speaker 2: Saturday's game against the Saints. That's got to raise some

1973
01:46:28,040 --> 01:46:32,519
Speaker 2: very massive concerns because Dallas has an offensive identity that's

1974
01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:35,200
Speaker 2: tied to their running game, and they're not getting enough

1975
01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 2: production from Ezekiel Elliott. Dak Prescott has been very uneven.

1976
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:41,719
Speaker 2: What does he think it's January? He's usually mister September.

1977
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:44,640
Speaker 2: In the first team offense. They didn't get into the

1978
01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:47,360
Speaker 2: end zone their first three trips into the red zone.

1979
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:52,280
Speaker 2: Right by the way. The defense, Mike Zimmer's defense, and

1980
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:55,360
Speaker 2: this surprised me had no answer for the New Orleans Saints.

1981
01:46:55,400 --> 01:46:59,120
Speaker 2: Speed will as continue. I kind of brazenly said a

1982
01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:00,479
Speaker 2: month ago, I thought this was going to be the

1983
01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:02,040
Speaker 2: year of the Cowboys come back to Earth and go

1984
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:04,160
Speaker 2: eight to nine. I meant what I said. I gave

1985
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:07,920
Speaker 2: my reasons. Since then, Dak got the back, they're all

1986
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:11,640
Speaker 2: got paid, and they went into Cleveland and whooed him

1987
01:47:11,720 --> 01:47:14,840
Speaker 2: up week one. But you know, maybe that's in retrospect

1988
01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:17,640
Speaker 2: that's going to have some context and maybe not be

1989
01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:20,559
Speaker 2: as as impressive when you when you when you stop

1990
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:26,240
Speaker 2: to think about it. Finally, the irrepressible Will Levis. I

1991
01:47:26,320 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 2: don't know how this guy gets out of his own way,

1992
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 2: but he's going to have to. I think with a

1993
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:34,000
Speaker 2: guy like Levis, who does have a lot of physical talent,

1994
01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:37,639
Speaker 2: there are some offensive cordners that will believe it's prudent

1995
01:47:37,720 --> 01:47:40,680
Speaker 2: to give a young quarterback leeway, get out of their way,

1996
01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:44,080
Speaker 2: allow them to figure out when do you know, stay

1997
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:45,800
Speaker 2: within the framework of the offense and when they have

1998
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,800
Speaker 2: the autonomy to think to take chances. You know, there's

1999
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:51,599
Speaker 2: no saying the more you think, the slower your feet get.

2000
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:56,519
Speaker 2: But Titans, their quarterback, their franchise. Will Levis, now in

2001
01:47:56,560 --> 01:48:00,760
Speaker 2: a second season, he should know better, right he had

2002
01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:04,320
Speaker 2: that again. I had Tennessee plus four and a half

2003
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 2: week one, and they led by seventeen against the Bears,

2004
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:09,640
Speaker 2: who can forget that incredibly bad decision that led to

2005
01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:12,040
Speaker 2: a pick six. They became really the difference in the

2006
01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:15,040
Speaker 2: loss of the Bears. Levis took points off the board

2007
01:48:15,080 --> 01:48:17,560
Speaker 2: against the Jets also and what ended up in a

2008
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:19,840
Speaker 2: twenty four to seventeen loss because in the second quarter,

2009
01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:22,679
Speaker 2: Tennessee in a third and goal from the six yard line,

2010
01:48:23,200 --> 01:48:25,240
Speaker 2: Levis gets in the shotgun. He takes a snap, he

2011
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:28,240
Speaker 2: feels pressure before he was even tripped up as he

2012
01:48:28,360 --> 01:48:31,160
Speaker 2: was falling to the turf. Why he would do this,

2013
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:33,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. He underhand tossed the ball to his

2014
01:48:34,040 --> 01:48:38,040
Speaker 2: running back Tyja Spears. It was a backwards pass which

2015
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:41,600
Speaker 2: became a fumble, which were recovered by the Jets. And

2016
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:45,080
Speaker 2: after the game, well, Brian Callahan, as head coach, was

2017
01:48:45,160 --> 01:48:48,080
Speaker 2: none too happy. He ripped will Levis. He said, it's

2018
01:48:48,120 --> 01:48:51,720
Speaker 2: clear these kinds of mistakes won't be tolerated much longer. Well,

2019
01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:54,000
Speaker 2: this is a coach who wasn't even around when will

2020
01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:57,240
Speaker 2: Levis was drafted. So those are the four you put

2021
01:48:57,280 --> 01:49:00,880
Speaker 2: in the minus category. Chicago the line and Caleb Williams

2022
01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:03,920
Speaker 2: the Lions in the red zone, Mike Zimmer, Dallas's new

2023
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:09,720
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator, and Will Levis. We shall see what the

2024
01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:12,679
Speaker 2: upcoming Week three shows, and you can be sure there'll

2025
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:16,400
Speaker 2: be a whole new list of winners and losers coming

2026
01:49:16,479 --> 01:49:21,719
Speaker 2: up this week. Have you noticed how prolific the kickers

2027
01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:25,479
Speaker 2: have been this season? My god, some of these fifty

2028
01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:28,680
Speaker 2: yeared field goals that they feel like chip shots, they

2029
01:49:28,760 --> 01:49:32,439
Speaker 2: feel like they're automatic. There are some theories as to

2030
01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:36,000
Speaker 2: why the kickers have done so well at least the

2031
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:39,720
Speaker 2: first couple weeks of the season. Again, the operative word

2032
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:43,599
Speaker 2: is theory. But I've got a few theories, and we've

2033
01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:47,000
Speaker 2: got some receipts as well. Because kicking long field goals

2034
01:49:47,040 --> 01:49:50,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL all of a sudden looks way too easy.

2035
01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:53,120
Speaker 2: I've got the numbers to back it up, and they

2036
01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:56,200
Speaker 2: got the theories behind the trend. Him Bernie Frider were

2037
01:49:56,240 --> 01:49:59,160
Speaker 2: coming to you live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports

2038
01:49:59,200 --> 01:50:01,800
Speaker 2: Radio TIREC dot studios. Keep it locked right here. You're

2039
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:05,680
Speaker 2: listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. Hi,

2040
01:50:05,760 --> 01:50:08,040
Speaker 2: right back at the Bernie Fradle Show, Fox Sports Radio,

2041
01:50:08,720 --> 01:50:11,360
Speaker 2: Coming to live from the tyrac dot com studios here

2042
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:16,000
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. We are fourteen minutes away from the

2043
01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:18,479
Speaker 2: dance sensation sweep of the nation. What kind of brand

2044
01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:23,760
Speaker 2: new fool you followed by what my name? In case

2045
01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:27,360
Speaker 2: you hadn't noticed at least the first couple of weeks, man,

2046
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:29,880
Speaker 2: NFL kickers are making it look too easy. Everything looks

2047
01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:34,800
Speaker 2: like a layup. Now if you don't believe me, here's

2048
01:50:34,840 --> 01:50:39,479
Speaker 2: what the numbers are. So far, kickers have attempted thirty

2049
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:43,759
Speaker 2: nine field goals this year already, thirty nine from fifty

2050
01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 2: yards or longer. They've made thirty five of them, they've

2051
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:53,639
Speaker 2: missed fort's ninety percent. What's changed or is it maybe

2052
01:50:54,040 --> 01:51:01,080
Speaker 2: just what short trend? So apparently, if you start to

2053
01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:06,679
Speaker 2: peel back the onion, one of the narratives has been

2054
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:10,200
Speaker 2: that so far, in the first couple of weeks, the

2055
01:51:10,320 --> 01:51:13,280
Speaker 2: weather's been really good. You've had great weather, which means

2056
01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 2: you have good footing, you have good playing conditions, you

2057
01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:22,080
Speaker 2: have playing surfaces that are ideal, and typically that's a

2058
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:26,320
Speaker 2: factor the first few weeks. The first couple weeks in

2059
01:51:26,320 --> 01:51:28,519
Speaker 2: the NFL as well, the fields aren't chewed up. They're

2060
01:51:28,520 --> 01:51:31,960
Speaker 2: in a great shape, especially the natural grass fields. Well,

2061
01:51:32,040 --> 01:51:34,479
Speaker 2: that's going to lead to fewer issues for kickers, all right,

2062
01:51:35,320 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 2: Once it gets a little colder, maybe it gets a

2063
01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:40,280
Speaker 2: little windier, get some weather in there, maybe the fields

2064
01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:44,320
Speaker 2: are not quite as secure, maybe you start to see

2065
01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:47,519
Speaker 2: some issues for kickers. But so far, one of the

2066
01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:52,560
Speaker 2: thoughts theories is that because the playing surfaces are in

2067
01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:55,519
Speaker 2: such great shape, especially the natural grass fields, and the

2068
01:51:55,600 --> 01:52:01,280
Speaker 2: weather's been pretty good, the conditions are fairly idea. The

2069
01:52:01,360 --> 01:52:04,080
Speaker 2: other thing too, is we now have more indoor stadiums

2070
01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:08,360
Speaker 2: than ever. And not only do we have more indoor stadiums,

2071
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:13,680
Speaker 2: we have more specialist coaches. And it's no longer you

2072
01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:16,240
Speaker 2: know the kicker and the football team's a dork. Right,

2073
01:52:16,320 --> 01:52:19,519
Speaker 2: there's exposure to kicking as a specialized skill. You now

2074
01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:23,760
Speaker 2: have guys, We have a generation of players that grow

2075
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 2: up aspiring to be kickers, compared to how it used

2076
01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:29,000
Speaker 2: to be when guys played another position and then kicked.

2077
01:52:29,280 --> 01:52:30,800
Speaker 2: That used to even be the case in the National

2078
01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:33,920
Speaker 2: Football League. There were players who played defensive kicked. The

2079
01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:37,840
Speaker 2: world champion Green Bay Packers had had those guys back

2080
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:41,920
Speaker 2: way back in the day. Right, So you've got better

2081
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:46,280
Speaker 2: conditions better you know, fields are good, the weather's been good,

2082
01:52:46,400 --> 01:52:49,479
Speaker 2: more indoor stadiums, and you have specialist coaches who really

2083
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:52,559
Speaker 2: work on kickers, and there's exposure of kicking. Now it's

2084
01:52:52,600 --> 01:52:58,559
Speaker 2: considered it sought after specialized skill. And there's one other

2085
01:52:58,680 --> 01:53:02,760
Speaker 2: thing too. This sort of flew under the radar for me.

2086
01:53:03,560 --> 01:53:06,920
Speaker 2: There have been rule changes which make it much more

2087
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:10,000
Speaker 2: difficult to block a kick. A block kick counts as

2088
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:13,640
Speaker 2: a missfield goal, so you can't cover the center. You

2089
01:53:13,720 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 2: can't jump up and down, you can't step on the

2090
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:20,760
Speaker 2: back of one of your teammates, you can't land over

2091
01:53:20,800 --> 01:53:23,680
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage, you can't push in terror a

2092
01:53:23,720 --> 01:53:28,080
Speaker 2: linement backward. So at least in a National Football league,

2093
01:53:28,600 --> 01:53:30,280
Speaker 2: you don't see it all of a lot of block kicks.

2094
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:33,080
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on that. You saw a big one

2095
01:53:33,120 --> 01:53:35,240
Speaker 2: today in the Michigan USC game on an extra point,

2096
01:53:35,680 --> 01:53:37,920
Speaker 2: but you don't see it as much in the NFL.

2097
01:53:39,240 --> 01:53:43,719
Speaker 2: And so you add it all up. The great weather,

2098
01:53:43,840 --> 01:53:47,720
Speaker 2: the good conditions, the ideal conditions, the ideal surfaces, more

2099
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:52,800
Speaker 2: indoor stadiums, more specialist kickers, more situations where guys are

2100
01:53:53,680 --> 01:53:55,519
Speaker 2: aspiring to go up to kick and they train for

2101
01:53:55,600 --> 01:53:59,120
Speaker 2: it specifically. Then you add the rule changes make it

2102
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:01,240
Speaker 2: very hard to block it kick. He can't cover the center,

2103
01:54:01,320 --> 01:54:03,559
Speaker 2: you can't jump up and down, you can't land over

2104
01:54:03,640 --> 01:54:05,559
Speaker 2: on the other side of the scrimmage like the LeVar leap,

2105
01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:09,280
Speaker 2: you can't push interior lineman. You don't see a lot

2106
01:54:09,320 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 2: of block kicks. Therefore that's a factor as well. These

2107
01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:17,600
Speaker 2: are all theories we'll see if this trend continues. But

2108
01:54:17,720 --> 01:54:19,960
Speaker 2: there's one real odd ball trend, and I talked about

2109
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:24,080
Speaker 2: this earlier. Only this team at the Baltimore Ravens to

2110
01:54:24,200 --> 01:54:29,320
Speaker 2: me are loaded on paper, but they're missing. They're missing

2111
01:54:29,439 --> 01:54:33,800
Speaker 2: DNA Championship DNA. In my opinion, I really feel that way.

2112
01:54:35,720 --> 01:54:38,840
Speaker 2: And even their kicker is part of it. Justin Tucker

2113
01:54:39,040 --> 01:54:44,200
Speaker 2: has who historically has been just about as automatic as

2114
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:48,240
Speaker 2: you can imagine. And you've even still got the record

2115
01:54:49,240 --> 01:54:54,640
Speaker 2: for the longest field goal sixty six yards still stands well.

2116
01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 2: Love those four kicks that are missed that I told

2117
01:54:57,560 --> 01:55:00,240
Speaker 2: you a minute ago thirty nine attempts from fifty ars

2118
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:03,360
Speaker 2: are Moore thirty five or made guess who missed two

2119
01:55:03,400 --> 01:55:06,560
Speaker 2: of the four all bios A lonesome yep, Justin Tucker.

2120
01:55:07,120 --> 01:55:10,360
Speaker 2: The irony is not lost on me. By the way,

2121
01:55:10,360 --> 01:55:12,440
Speaker 2: Ever so quickly, I'll see the Raiders here coming up

2122
01:55:12,440 --> 01:55:16,160
Speaker 2: at about twelve hours. Got my CREDENTI for Sunday. I

2123
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:19,840
Speaker 2: won't see Bryce Young after eighteen starts. Bryce Young got

2124
01:55:19,920 --> 01:55:23,320
Speaker 2: benched Panthers zero and two, the number one overall pick

2125
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:26,640
Speaker 2: from the year before. We'll watch Andy Dalton from the sidelines.

2126
01:55:28,560 --> 01:55:28,720
Speaker 9: Now.

2127
01:55:30,600 --> 01:55:35,240
Speaker 2: One of the things, you know, I can't get too

2128
01:55:35,280 --> 01:55:38,480
Speaker 2: deep into this, but one of the benefits that guys

2129
01:55:38,600 --> 01:55:43,800
Speaker 2: like you know, Aaron Rodgers and even Brett favre Is,

2130
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:48,280
Speaker 2: Sir Pat Patrick, Mahomes, Tom Brady. Who else am I

2131
01:55:48,400 --> 01:55:52,320
Speaker 2: leaving out? Steve Young? I know there's a couple of

2132
01:55:52,680 --> 01:55:55,600
Speaker 2: current quarterbacks in william Not as well. They had the

2133
01:55:56,320 --> 01:55:59,600
Speaker 2: They had the benefit of watching a veteran do it

2134
01:55:59,680 --> 01:56:03,160
Speaker 2: for a year and Bryce Young hasn't had that. And

2135
01:56:03,320 --> 01:56:04,960
Speaker 2: I'm tired of hearing about his height. You knew how

2136
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:07,800
Speaker 2: tall he was when he was at Alabama. You could

2137
01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:10,680
Speaker 2: do the player you could he was. Bryce Young was

2138
01:56:10,760 --> 01:56:14,880
Speaker 2: drafted because of his incredible ability to process, and I

2139
01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:19,880
Speaker 2: guess obviously the Carolina Panthers placed too much weight on

2140
01:56:19,960 --> 01:56:22,880
Speaker 2: the interview. They say that the interview with C. J.

2141
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:26,280
Speaker 2: Stroud didn't go well, whatever that means. But Dave Canal

2142
01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:28,240
Speaker 2: it's his first year head coach. He wants to win.

2143
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:32,320
Speaker 2: He's getting itchy. He was a quarterback whisperer in Seattle.

2144
01:56:32,360 --> 01:56:35,240
Speaker 2: He had a great deal of effect on Gino Smith.

2145
01:56:35,320 --> 01:56:37,600
Speaker 2: Remember they ain't right back, or they wrote me up,

2146
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:40,440
Speaker 2: but I ain't right back. Dave Canals presided over that

2147
01:56:40,520 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 2: he Baker Mayfield get the bag. Now he's given up.

2148
01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:47,680
Speaker 2: Let's make no mistake. He's given up on Bryce Young.

2149
01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:51,720
Speaker 2: I'm convinced of it. When asked about the trade and

2150
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:54,840
Speaker 2: by the way, people are inquiring about training for Bryce Young,

2151
01:56:56,160 --> 01:56:59,320
Speaker 2: he says, well, we're not really considering. That's that's a

2152
01:56:59,360 --> 01:57:03,120
Speaker 2: weak type of answer. You know, you think if they

2153
01:57:03,160 --> 01:57:05,400
Speaker 2: ask the chiefs if they're trading Patrick malhomes, well, not

2154
01:57:05,520 --> 01:57:07,800
Speaker 2: really consider you know, well, maybe that's a bad comparison

2155
01:57:07,800 --> 01:57:12,440
Speaker 2: when you get where I'm going with there, and Canalys

2156
01:57:12,560 --> 01:57:15,000
Speaker 2: was canned. He said number one responsibilities to help the

2157
01:57:15,080 --> 01:57:18,480
Speaker 2: Panthers win and this believes I believe this puts us

2158
01:57:18,480 --> 01:57:21,200
Speaker 2: the best chance to win. Well it should. Anthony err

2159
01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:25,520
Speaker 2: Andy Daltonstone for fifty thousand yards in his career. Meanwhile,

2160
01:57:25,560 --> 01:57:27,760
Speaker 2: Bryce Young was just eighteen and twenty six with eighty

2161
01:57:27,800 --> 01:57:31,960
Speaker 2: four yards passing. He's not done well. I wouldn't give

2162
01:57:32,040 --> 01:57:33,560
Speaker 2: up on him yet. We're going to talk about that

2163
01:57:33,720 --> 01:57:36,440
Speaker 2: more in future shows. It's something to watch because now

2164
01:57:36,720 --> 01:57:39,000
Speaker 2: again the group think the echo chamber was taken over

2165
01:57:39,080 --> 01:57:42,800
Speaker 2: and he's getting murdered on social media. All right, coming

2166
01:57:42,920 --> 01:57:45,520
Speaker 2: up the dance sensation sweep in the nation. What kind

2167

Speaker 2: in the show every Saturday heading into Sunday two am Pacific,

2179
01:58:24,520 --> 01:58:27,760
Speaker 2: five am Eastern RECEEE. As Yogi Berra once said, you

2180
01:58:27,800 --> 01:58:31,040
Speaker 2: can observe a lot by watching, and that's exactly what

2181
01:58:31,200 --> 01:58:34,360
Speaker 2: we do here on The Bernie Frotto Show. And around

2182
01:58:34,440 --> 01:58:37,000
Speaker 2: this great land of ours, from seed to oily Seed,

2183
01:58:37,040 --> 01:58:40,040
Speaker 2: and even around the globe. Well, people do things. They

2184
01:58:40,160 --> 01:58:43,680
Speaker 2: engage in behaviors, and sometimes those behaviors are kind of

2185
01:58:43,800 --> 01:58:46,840
Speaker 2: innocuous and silly and harmless, and other times are far

2186
01:58:46,920 --> 01:58:50,320
Speaker 2: more serious. And many times they run a follow the law.

2187
01:58:50,480 --> 01:58:54,160
Speaker 2: You can even land you in jail. But no matter

2188
01:58:54,280 --> 01:58:57,400
Speaker 2: what the behavior is no matter how you characterize it,

2189
01:58:57,520 --> 01:59:00,120
Speaker 2: no matter how you describe it, no matter how how

2190
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:04,600
Speaker 2: you observe it, it always leaves you scratching your head

2191
01:59:04,640 --> 01:59:11,800
Speaker 2: and asking yourself, what kind of brand new fool are you? Well,

2192
01:59:12,560 --> 01:59:18,040
Speaker 2: this will probably be the most innocuous, the shortest, the sweetest,

2193
01:59:18,280 --> 01:59:22,080
Speaker 2: and really sort of harmless. What kind of brand new

2194
01:59:22,160 --> 01:59:25,120
Speaker 2: fool you? And rarely do we delve into the world

2195
01:59:25,200 --> 01:59:28,680
Speaker 2: of professional sports, but I had to on this one.

2196
01:59:30,120 --> 01:59:34,560
Speaker 2: Just a couple of months ago, the Washington Nationals had

2197
01:59:34,640 --> 01:59:38,480
Speaker 2: a shortstop. He actually played at the Major League Baseball

2198
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:41,080
Speaker 2: All Star Game. His name is c. J. Abrams. Now

2199
01:59:42,160 --> 01:59:45,000
Speaker 2: he's headed to the miners and he will not be

2200
01:59:45,240 --> 01:59:47,320
Speaker 2: back in the majors because there's only one week left

2201
01:59:47,320 --> 01:59:50,680
Speaker 2: in the season. But he's on his way down to

2202
01:59:50,760 --> 01:59:55,720
Speaker 2: the miners. The Nationals not too happy. They sent down

2203
01:59:55,760 --> 01:59:57,680
Speaker 2: their shortstop with about a week to go in the

2204
01:59:57,720 --> 02:00:01,880
Speaker 2: regular season. After Abrams were I totally spent the entire night,

2205
02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:05,320
Speaker 2: not a couple of hours, the entire night at a

2206
02:00:05,400 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 2: casino near Chicago and left just a couple of hours

2207
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:11,960
Speaker 2: before the Nationals were to face the Cubs and one

2208
02:00:12,040 --> 02:00:17,280
Speaker 2: pm game on Friday, and afternoon game, and Washington manager

2209
02:00:17,360 --> 02:00:19,560
Speaker 2: Dave Martinez told reporters, I just want to make sure

2210
02:00:19,560 --> 02:00:23,000
Speaker 2: everybody knows it wasn't performance base It's an internal issue.

2211
02:00:23,400 --> 02:00:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm not going to give you specifics all right now.

2212
02:00:26,640 --> 02:00:28,920
Speaker 2: Abrams has been strugging a little bit. You know, he's

2213
02:00:29,080 --> 02:00:31,000
Speaker 2: but he did steal thirty one bases, but he's hit

2214
02:00:31,080 --> 02:00:33,720
Speaker 2: like two forty. But he's been a centerpiece as part

2215
02:00:33,760 --> 02:00:36,200
Speaker 2: of the rebuild. Let me tell you you know how

2216
02:00:36,240 --> 02:00:38,560
Speaker 2: hard it is to get to the big leagues. You

2217
02:00:38,680 --> 02:00:40,800
Speaker 2: gotta be good, and you gotta be a little lucky too,

2218
02:00:41,680 --> 02:00:45,680
Speaker 2: and you gotta you know, you gotta have everything fall

2219
02:00:45,680 --> 02:00:47,880
Speaker 2: into place. I signed with it Cincinnati Reads many many,

2220
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:50,440
Speaker 2: many many years ago, ended up with bone chips on

2221
02:00:50,480 --> 02:00:52,600
Speaker 2: my elbow. I played with some guys that got to

2222
02:00:52,680 --> 02:00:55,760
Speaker 2: the big leagues. But it's not easy, and they're always

2223
02:00:55,800 --> 02:00:59,240
Speaker 2: looking for a replacement, So why give them a reason.

2224
02:00:59,320 --> 02:01:02,520
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, the fans, they weren't too

2225
02:01:02,560 --> 02:01:05,640
Speaker 2: happy either. It's a smart bove by the franchise, setting

2226
02:01:05,640 --> 02:01:08,240
Speaker 2: an example for other players as to what we'll what

2227
02:01:08,480 --> 02:01:11,160
Speaker 2: will it will not be tolerated. Setting bonders for a

2228
02:01:11,240 --> 02:01:15,440
Speaker 2: twenty three year old who has achieved anything of lasting significance.

2229
02:01:15,440 --> 02:01:18,840
Speaker 2: He's hitting about two forty right the lot. The truth

2230
02:01:18,880 --> 02:01:22,840
Speaker 2: of the matter is, look that to who much is given,

2231
02:01:23,520 --> 02:01:26,760
Speaker 2: much is expected. Short and sweet. This is one of

2232
02:01:26,840 --> 02:01:29,800
Speaker 2: those rare times, and no one's going to jail. Nobody

2233
02:01:29,880 --> 02:01:35,480
Speaker 2: got hurt. Maybe a little embarrassed. CJ. Abrams, former shortstop

2234
02:01:35,520 --> 02:01:38,560
Speaker 2: of the Washington Nationals. What kind of brand new fool

2235
02:01:38,600 --> 02:01:43,760
Speaker 2: of you? I gotta admit, Yae, that's not one of

2236
02:01:43,800 --> 02:01:46,440
Speaker 2: my stronger ones, but I felt that it needed to

2237
02:01:46,520 --> 02:01:47,440
Speaker 2: be discussed tonight.

2238
02:01:47,760 --> 02:01:50,880
Speaker 5: No, it was enjoyable. It was definitely entertainment. And that's

2239
02:01:50,880 --> 02:01:53,560
Speaker 5: what we have here, Bernie, a show full of entertainment.

2240
02:01:54,640 --> 02:01:56,280
Speaker 2: And you always got some good ones. Man, what do

2241
02:01:56,320 --> 02:01:57,080
Speaker 2: you got for us today?

2242
02:01:57,120 --> 02:02:00,520
Speaker 11: So I got two actually for us this week's special.

2243
02:02:00,920 --> 02:02:03,360
Speaker 11: I'm trying to break any rules here, but oh I'm

2244
02:02:03,400 --> 02:02:05,800
Speaker 11: here for it. So this one's a quick one. A

2245
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:10,480
Speaker 11: cardboard box with one million dollars was reported stolen from

2246
02:02:10,520 --> 02:02:15,720
Speaker 11: a Manhattan school beach parent inside of their car. I

2247
02:02:15,760 --> 02:02:17,879
Speaker 11: don't know who's keeping a million dollars in a cardboard

2248
02:02:17,880 --> 02:02:20,080
Speaker 11: box and who's keeping in in their car, especially in

2249
02:02:20,160 --> 02:02:24,160
Speaker 11: Los Angeles. But the story goes this Friday, the thirteenth,

2250
02:02:24,240 --> 02:02:27,440
Speaker 11: which is notorious for being unlucky of last week, was

2251
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:30,920
Speaker 11: particularly unlucky for a parent in Manhattan Beach. According to

2252
02:02:30,960 --> 02:02:34,040
Speaker 11: the Manhattan Beach Police, the parent reported parking in front

2253
02:02:34,040 --> 02:02:38,040
Speaker 11: of the American Mater's School gym in seventeen hundred block

2254
02:02:38,040 --> 02:02:41,600
Speaker 11: of Laurel Avenue around seven pm. Once they walked their

2255
02:02:41,680 --> 02:02:44,360
Speaker 11: child into the gym, the parent returned to his car

2256
02:02:44,520 --> 02:02:47,480
Speaker 11: and discovered a rear passenger window was smashed and a

2257
02:02:47,560 --> 02:02:50,800
Speaker 11: cardboard box he left in the car was stolen. That

2258
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:56,320
Speaker 11: cardboard box contained one million dollars, the victim told to

2259
02:02:56,360 --> 02:02:59,840
Speaker 11: the police, and officers in the victim discovered a GPX

2260
02:03:01,040 --> 02:03:04,320
Speaker 11: attached to the vehicle that he had no idea about.

2261
02:03:05,040 --> 02:03:09,400
Speaker 11: Police are currently keeping the victim and information about this

2262
02:03:09,600 --> 02:03:11,560
Speaker 11: current case under wraps.

2263
02:03:11,640 --> 02:03:14,520
Speaker 5: But I mean, this just leads me to say, to

2264
02:03:14,640 --> 02:03:15,680
Speaker 5: the victim.

2265
02:03:15,520 --> 02:03:18,959
Speaker 11: What kind of fool are you leaving one million dollars

2266
02:03:19,400 --> 02:03:21,880
Speaker 11: of cash in a cardboard box and a car in

2267
02:03:21,960 --> 02:03:25,760
Speaker 11: Los Angeles? Quick one, but definitely a crazy one.

2268
02:03:26,040 --> 02:03:28,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean that is about as foolish as

2269
02:03:28,240 --> 02:03:28,680
Speaker 2: you can get.

2270
02:03:28,960 --> 02:03:31,680
Speaker 11: I really don't understand it, especially in Los Angeles. Man,

2271
02:03:31,680 --> 02:03:33,720
Speaker 11: people are bringing the cars all the time. It just

2272
02:03:33,920 --> 02:03:38,760
Speaker 11: it makes zero sense to me. And this one agree

2273
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:41,080
Speaker 11: yeah no, yeah, And this one is going to be

2274
02:03:41,120 --> 02:03:44,960
Speaker 11: actually taking place on an airline. It's the Scandinavian Airlines.

2275
02:03:45,640 --> 02:03:49,000
Speaker 11: A flight was diverted after a passenger finds a live

2276
02:03:49,200 --> 02:03:50,760
Speaker 11: mouse inside of his meal.

2277
02:03:52,440 --> 02:03:56,960
Speaker 5: Not happy about that one. No extra charge though, right, no, no, no,

2278
02:03:57,080 --> 02:03:57,840
Speaker 5: no extra charge.

2279
02:03:57,920 --> 02:04:00,760
Speaker 11: Actually, so one of the flights had to make an

2280
02:04:00,760 --> 02:04:04,600
Speaker 11: emergency landing after a mouse scurried out of a passenger's

2281
02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:08,560
Speaker 11: in flight meal on Wednesday. Aircraft was flying from Norway's

2282
02:04:08,600 --> 02:04:11,960
Speaker 11: capital Oslo to Malaga and Spain and was forced to

2283
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:18,480
Speaker 11: make an emergency landing in Copenhagen, Denmark. The diversion was

2284
02:04:18,520 --> 02:04:21,480
Speaker 11: in line with the company procedures as the little furrowy

2285
02:04:21,600 --> 02:04:27,040
Speaker 11: stowaway pose a safety risk. Supposed purportedly, the mouse jumped

2286
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:30,640
Speaker 11: out of a little food container that was inside of

2287
02:04:30,760 --> 02:04:36,240
Speaker 11: the the inside of the plane. This just leads me

2288
02:04:36,320 --> 02:04:37,920
Speaker 11: to say, whoever packed the.

2289
02:04:40,440 --> 02:04:40,760
Speaker 2: Food?

2290
02:04:41,320 --> 02:04:42,920
Speaker 11: I mean, what kind of fool are you? I don't

2291
02:04:42,920 --> 02:04:46,160
Speaker 11: know how that happens. It might be robotic, it might

2292
02:04:46,200 --> 02:04:48,280
Speaker 11: be a person. I don't know how they do their

2293
02:04:48,320 --> 02:04:51,320
Speaker 11: food packing. But that's just that was insane to me.

2294
02:04:51,480 --> 02:04:52,240
Speaker 11: So two quick.

2295
02:04:52,120 --> 02:04:54,560
Speaker 5: Stories, crazy two fun ones.

2296
02:04:54,960 --> 02:04:57,480
Speaker 2: You know, and I fly a lot, a lot.

2297
02:05:00,520 --> 02:05:02,320
Speaker 5: Those containers are small, Bernie.

2298
02:05:02,600 --> 02:05:07,680
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think. They don't serve meals on airplanes anymore.

2299
02:05:07,720 --> 02:05:10,320
Speaker 5: So this was international, right, Yeah, it was an international flight.

2300
02:05:10,880 --> 02:05:13,080
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe they do on those. They do start that

2301
02:05:13,160 --> 02:05:14,840
Speaker 2: flu to Paris in May. They gave us a nice

2302
02:05:14,880 --> 02:05:16,160
Speaker 2: meal like I could have been. It was pretty good,

2303
02:05:16,200 --> 02:05:16,760
Speaker 2: no mouse though.

2304
02:05:16,880 --> 02:05:19,600
Speaker 7: You don't count the peanuts anymore. You don't count the peanuts.

2305
02:05:19,640 --> 02:05:22,160
Speaker 2: They don't even give you peanuts anymore. You gotta buy them.

2306
02:05:22,800 --> 02:05:23,640
Speaker 2: You gotta buy everything.

2307
02:05:24,160 --> 02:05:26,520
Speaker 11: There's certain there's certain flights. Yeah, you have to buy them.

2308
02:05:26,600 --> 02:05:28,960
Speaker 11: Like it's like spirit. You'll have to buy everything pretty much.

2309
02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:31,960
Speaker 7: Well, I guess I fly Southwest, so they give us

2310
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:34,360
Speaker 7: peanuts and cookies, big fact.

2311
02:05:34,720 --> 02:05:36,680
Speaker 2: You know, you're right after the flight's been in the

2312
02:05:36,720 --> 02:05:38,520
Speaker 2: air for about an hour, they come by with that basket.

2313
02:05:38,600 --> 02:05:41,280
Speaker 2: So they get these little pretzels or they're like, yeah,

2314
02:05:41,360 --> 02:05:43,760
Speaker 2: you're you're you're not wrong, you're not wrong. But no

2315
02:05:44,240 --> 02:05:47,040
Speaker 2: meals like before, remember back in the day. I mean,

2316
02:05:48,640 --> 02:05:50,440
Speaker 2: you know we're gonna be getting the meal service now,

2317
02:05:50,440 --> 02:05:52,800
Speaker 2: everybody sit down. They'd serve you like a little meal,

2318
02:05:52,920 --> 02:05:55,400
Speaker 2: and they would be like like a Hamburger steak with

2319
02:05:55,520 --> 02:05:57,760
Speaker 2: actual grill marks on it, if there was a grill

2320
02:05:58,600 --> 02:06:02,360
Speaker 2: like a girl. That's crazy though. A mouse.

2321
02:06:02,720 --> 02:06:05,400
Speaker 7: Jockey's a jockey whip, you know, mark on that, you know,

2322
02:06:05,400 --> 02:06:06,480
Speaker 7: because the coulpies something else.

2323
02:06:06,520 --> 02:06:09,440
Speaker 2: That's a Rodney danger right, you're right, the stake's got marks.

2324
02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:12,440
Speaker 2: I love when you come out with the mouse. You know.

2325
02:06:12,920 --> 02:06:15,080
Speaker 2: That was another danger field joke. He said, Hey, waiter,

2326
02:06:15,160 --> 02:06:17,320
Speaker 2: I gotta fly on my soup. He says, quiet, everybody's

2327
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:19,920
Speaker 2: gonna want one now right anyway, never mind? All right,

2328
02:06:20,040 --> 02:06:23,520
Speaker 2: another rousing edition of what kind of brand new fool

2329
02:06:23,520 --> 02:06:27,480
Speaker 2: of you? And that leads us now to uh, of course,

2330
02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:30,320
Speaker 2: segue into our second favorite bit that we lovingly recall.

2331

2332
02:06:37,640 --> 02:06:42,240

2333
02:06:42,320 --> 02:06:44,280
Speaker 2: not say it was a stellar debut, but they got

2334
02:06:44,320 --> 02:06:48,200
Speaker 2: the job done and they won. Texas Longhorns solidify their

2335
02:06:48,280 --> 02:06:53,960
Speaker 2: current number one ranking in college football. Well, the last

2336
02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:56,760
Speaker 2: time the Texas Longhorns are ranked number one in the

2337
02:06:56,840 --> 02:07:00,880

2344
02:07:24,760 --> 02:07:28,560
Speaker 2: Against Oklahoma, I believe, yeah, it was it. I thought

Speaker 2: he got hurt in the National Championship game against Alabama.

2346
02:07:31,160 --> 02:07:33,640

2353
02:07:55,840 --> 02:07:59,360
Speaker 2: when it comes to passing statistics in the National Football League,

2354
02:07:59,360 --> 02:08:03,200
Speaker 2: this year, I have the least yards per play in

2359
02:08:17,320 --> 02:08:20,040
Speaker 2: many yards and then gets divided by the number of

2360
02:08:20,040 --> 02:08:23,240

Speaker 2: other rookie quarterback in history. Mark Ramsey with my name.

2415
02:11:46,800 --> 02:11:48,800

Speaker 2: yards my rookie season, Mark Ramsey, what my name?

2439
02:12:51,200 --> 02:12:54,160

2440
02:12:54,880 --> 02:12:57,880
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good one. Houston oilers back in the day.

2442
02:13:01,520 --> 02:13:04,920
Speaker 2: had a coach, bum Phillips, who was very quotable, and

2443
02:13:05,040 --> 02:13:08,919
Speaker 2: the very first day Earl Campbell had a great rookieyear.

2444
02:13:09,640 --> 02:13:14,400
Speaker 2: So the first day of camp in the second season,

2445
02:13:15,200 --> 02:13:18,200
Speaker 2: they did the mile run and Earl Campbell finished last,

2446
02:13:18,880 --> 02:13:21,040
Speaker 2: and one of the reporters, smart as reporters, said, coach,

2447
02:13:21,040 --> 02:13:23,640
Speaker 2: how do you feel about your star running back finishing

2448
02:13:23,800 --> 02:13:26,560
Speaker 2: last in the mile run? She says, well, if it's

2449
02:13:26,600 --> 02:13:28,440
Speaker 2: third and a mile, I guess he ain't getting the ball.

2450
02:13:30,280 --> 02:13:33,640
Speaker 2: Thanks Mark. Yeah, the name is Eric Dickerson is who

2451
02:13:33,640 --> 02:13:36,240

2452
02:13:36,320 --> 02:13:38,040
Speaker 5: Yes, it's sweet goggles on.

2453
02:13:38,520 --> 02:13:41,200
Speaker 2: After two games this season, I lead the NFL on

2454
02:13:41,280 --> 02:13:44,920
Speaker 2: all quarterbacks in passing with five hundred and fifty yards.

2455
02:13:45,000 --> 02:13:46,040
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, what my name?

2456
02:13:47,920 --> 02:13:52,880
Speaker 7: Quarterbacks in passing. Quarterbacks from passing this season is in Mahomes.

2457
02:13:52,800 --> 02:13:56,120
Speaker 2: Not Patrick Mahomes. No. After the first two games this

2458
02:13:56,280 --> 02:13:58,600
Speaker 2: year in the National Football League, I lead all quarterbacks

2459
02:13:58,640 --> 02:14:02,200
Speaker 2: in passing with five one hundred and fifty yards. Uh,

2460
02:14:02,840 --> 02:14:04,160
Speaker 2: sham Ogenar What my name?

Speaker 5: good for him.

2463
02:14:15,560 --> 02:14:20,160
Speaker 2: One more so, there are some own two teams out there,

2464
02:14:20,240 --> 02:14:22,160
Speaker 2: and it's inevitable some of those own two teams are

2465
02:14:22,200 --> 02:14:24,440
Speaker 2: going to go on three. That doesn't mean you can't

2466
02:14:24,480 --> 02:14:27,000
Speaker 2: make the playoffs, but the odds are very slim. The

2467
02:14:27,160 --> 02:14:31,000
Speaker 2: last NFL team to make the playoffs after starting oh

2468
02:14:31,080 --> 02:14:34,480
Speaker 2: and three, well, I was the head coach. What my name?

2469
02:14:35,160 --> 02:14:36,360
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey? What my name?

2470
02:14:38,640 --> 02:14:39,320
Speaker 7: Oh and two?

2471
02:14:41,000 --> 02:14:43,560
Speaker 2: Oh and three started owing three and still made the playoffs?

2472
02:14:44,440 --> 02:14:45,960
Speaker 7: Is it the Cults?

2473
02:14:48,360 --> 02:14:50,200
Speaker 2: It wasn't the Colts, But but I'm looking for the

2474
02:14:50,280 --> 02:14:52,720
Speaker 2: name of a coach. Oh, you will move on. That's okay,

2475
02:14:52,920 --> 02:14:56,560
Speaker 2: it's okay. The last time an NFL team made the

2476
02:14:56,600 --> 02:14:58,880
Speaker 2: playoffs after starting oh and three, I was the head coach,

2477
02:14:58,920 --> 02:14:59,960
Speaker 2: seam Oginger, what my name?

2478
02:15:01,160 --> 02:15:03,400
Speaker 5: It wasn't the Colts had cut like that wasn't?

2479
02:15:03,840 --> 02:15:03,880
Speaker 2: No?

2480
02:15:04,160 --> 02:15:15,280
Speaker 11: Okay, okay, Oh man, dude, I'm just gonna say, Eric, no,

2482
02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:20,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, Bernie. This is a hard one, so

2483
02:15:20,040 --> 02:15:21,560
Speaker 2: I'll give you guys a clue. It was actually the

2484
02:15:21,600 --> 02:15:25,400
Speaker 2: Houston Texans, and it was back in twenty eighteen, and

2485
02:15:25,960 --> 02:15:27,640
Speaker 2: this might have been the year there on hard knocks,

2486
02:15:27,680 --> 02:15:29,720
Speaker 2: and this guy dropped more rough bombs than we're allowed,

2487
02:15:30,960 --> 02:15:35,280
Speaker 2: is it O'Brien? It was Bill O'Brien. Nicely done, Bill O'Brien, who,

2488
02:15:35,400 --> 02:15:37,480

02:16:30,160 --> 02:16:36,000

02:16:36,080 --> 02:16:39,119
Speaker 2: Tom Brady. You don't want to hear this. I'm Bernie

Speaker 2: back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio Company

2511
02:16:49,680 --> 02:16:53,640
Speaker 2: live from the Tarrat dot com studios here in Las Vegas,

2512
02:16:54,840 --> 02:16:58,560
Speaker 2: just hours away from a full resumption of a what

2513
02:16:58,720 --> 02:17:01,800
Speaker 2: should be a very spirited NFL Sunday two Monday night

2514
02:17:01,840 --> 02:17:05,680
Speaker 2: games this week. By the way, so Baker Mayfield doing

2515
02:17:05,760 --> 02:17:10,000
Speaker 2: swimmingly well in Tampa Bay and He even found time

2516
02:17:10,120 --> 02:17:13,880
Speaker 2: to appear on a podcast recently, a podcast hosted by

2517
02:17:13,959 --> 02:17:18,959
Speaker 2: former Major League Baseball pitcher Corey Klueber called Costady Club. Wow,

2518
02:17:19,160 --> 02:17:22,520
Speaker 2: How clever is that club? Spell with klub Why not

2519
02:17:22,680 --> 02:17:24,760
Speaker 2: everybody else in the world has a podcast? The world

2520
02:17:24,840 --> 02:17:29,199
Speaker 2: needs one more podcast? And Baker Mayfield offered some interesting

2521
02:17:29,280 --> 02:17:33,400
Speaker 2: quotes about Tom Brady's tenure with the team. I found

2522
02:17:33,440 --> 02:17:36,960
Speaker 2: this to be very interesting. Now keep in mind, then,

2523
02:17:37,480 --> 02:17:40,040
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield has made it clear that he believed Brady's

2524
02:17:40,080 --> 02:17:43,720
Speaker 2: methods worked well for him, and they were certainly successful

2525
02:17:44,280 --> 02:17:47,039
Speaker 2: in Mayfield also made it clear he was not necessarily

2526
02:17:47,120 --> 02:17:51,280
Speaker 2: trying to be critical Tom Brady. However, as part of

2527
02:17:51,320 --> 02:17:54,520
Speaker 2: the narrative, he painted a picture of an organization that

2528
02:17:54,800 --> 02:17:57,760
Speaker 2: may have been eager to embrace the more relaxed personality

2529
02:17:58,080 --> 02:18:01,440
Speaker 2: like a Baker Mayfield or two years of Tom Brady.

2530
02:18:01,879 --> 02:18:04,600
Speaker 2: There apparently were reports of Brady having some friction with

2531
02:18:04,680 --> 02:18:08,240
Speaker 2: coaches over direction of the offense, and Brady has denied

2532
02:18:08,280 --> 02:18:14,600
Speaker 2: those with Mayfield's comments basically underscore those claims. Apparently, Baker

2533
02:18:14,680 --> 02:18:16,920
Speaker 2: Mayfield went on to say that the building was a

2534
02:18:16,959 --> 02:18:20,119
Speaker 2: little bit different with Tom in there right. Obviously playing

2535
02:18:20,200 --> 02:18:22,440
Speaker 2: wise Tom was different. He had everybody dialed in high

2536
02:18:22,440 --> 02:18:26,400
Speaker 2: strung environment, so everybody was very stressed out for me

2537
02:18:27,120 --> 02:18:28,840
Speaker 2: when I came in. They wanted me to just come in,

2538
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:31,680
Speaker 2: be myself, bring the fun back to football for some

2539
02:18:31,760 --> 02:18:34,880
Speaker 2: guys who weren't having a much fun, but keep the

2540
02:18:34,959 --> 02:18:37,840
Speaker 2: competition level up to where it is in. Mayfield again

2541
02:18:37,879 --> 02:18:40,120
Speaker 2: went on to admit that he and Tom Brady have

2542
02:18:40,360 --> 02:18:43,960
Speaker 2: very different personalities and he did hint it to further

2543
02:18:44,000 --> 02:18:47,119
Speaker 2: attention after Brady's tenure and when he was asked about

2544
02:18:47,120 --> 02:18:50,760
Speaker 2: the funniest story he ever heard regarding Tom Brady, he

2545
02:18:50,879 --> 02:18:53,600
Speaker 2: discussed what he were called mind games that Brady might

2546
02:18:53,680 --> 02:18:56,960
Speaker 2: play within the organization. He said, hear some stories that

2547
02:18:57,040 --> 02:19:00,440
Speaker 2: if Brady didn't like a certain play call, he didn't

2548
02:19:00,480 --> 02:19:02,200
Speaker 2: like it throughout the week and they still call it

2549
02:19:02,240 --> 02:19:04,720
Speaker 2: in the game. There might have been a throwaway on

2550
02:19:04,840 --> 02:19:07,720
Speaker 2: purpose or throwing it at the running backs feet or

2551
02:19:07,720 --> 02:19:12,240
Speaker 2: the receiver's feet. So it was a long podcast, almost

2552
02:19:12,280 --> 02:19:15,480
Speaker 2: an hour, and Baker Mayfield I think was measured with

2553
02:19:15,600 --> 02:19:17,600
Speaker 2: his words. But the long and the short of it,

2554
02:19:18,160 --> 02:19:21,440
Speaker 2: he painted a picture of quite a contrast with Tom Brady.

2555
02:19:21,480 --> 02:19:23,680
Speaker 2: At the home in Tampa Bay. It was a very

2556
02:19:23,800 --> 02:19:28,000
Speaker 2: stressed out, high strung environment. With Baker Mayfield at the home,

2557
02:19:28,120 --> 02:19:31,640
Speaker 2: it's more of a fun, relaxed environment, although they still

2558
02:19:31,680 --> 02:19:35,120
Speaker 2: believe that the competitive vibe is still very much there.

2559
02:19:36,560 --> 02:19:38,640
Speaker 2: Coming up, we got Chris Prophetzsworld of Soccer, but first

2560
02:19:38,680 --> 02:19:40,679
Speaker 2: we go back to our guy, Steve de Seger.

2583

2599

Speaker 6: among others, was eliminated. I'm Steve de Seger.

2600
02:21:40,480 --> 02:21:47,480
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Steve. Well. American football foot b all

2601
02:21:48,440 --> 02:21:53,480
Speaker 2: is what we cover here in mass this time of year,

2602
02:21:54,120 --> 02:21:59,920
Speaker 2: but you can't completely ignore fut bl football played year

2603
02:22:00,040 --> 02:22:03,280
Speaker 2: around around the world, and there's only some things in

2604
02:22:03,320 --> 02:22:05,320
Speaker 2: the news you might want to learn about. It's while

2605
02:22:05,320 --> 02:22:07,480
Speaker 2: we bring you Chrispfett's World of Soccer.

2606
02:22:09,600 --> 02:22:20,160
Speaker 9: The Greatest Goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama.

2607
02:22:25,440 --> 02:22:28,840
Speaker 2: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2608
02:22:29,560 --> 02:22:32,000
Speaker 10: So MLS has given us little drama in the way

2609
02:22:32,080 --> 02:22:35,560
Speaker 10: of things leading to the playoffs. There's about five weekends left,

2610
02:22:35,640 --> 02:22:38,760
Speaker 10: including this one, and there's really only a slim outside

2611
02:22:38,879 --> 02:22:42,200
Speaker 10: chance that Inter Miami will drop the Supporter's Shield, the

2612
02:22:42,240 --> 02:22:44,600
Speaker 10: trophy for the most points in the regular season, they

2613
02:22:44,680 --> 02:22:47,000
Speaker 10: might drop it to Cincinnati or La Galaxy, but such

2614
02:22:47,000 --> 02:22:49,520
Speaker 10: a thing we require them to suffer a complete and

2615
02:22:49,800 --> 02:22:54,320
Speaker 10: total meltdown. And with Lionel Messi finally back, it seems

2616
02:22:54,360 --> 02:22:57,280
Speaker 10: he was off the bench against Atlanta not long ago,

2617
02:22:57,400 --> 02:22:58,600
Speaker 10: I don't think there's going to.

2618
02:22:58,640 --> 02:23:00,520
Speaker 2: Be much threat to that. Soever.

2619
02:23:00,879 --> 02:23:04,040
Speaker 10: We've had the first week of Champions League and still

2620
02:23:04,120 --> 02:23:06,200
Speaker 10: sifting through the results from that as we kind of

2621
02:23:06,240 --> 02:23:09,400
Speaker 10: get a sense of who's taking the frontal positions in

2622
02:23:09,520 --> 02:23:12,400
Speaker 10: group stages, which allows the world of soccer this week

2623
02:23:12,480 --> 02:23:15,320
Speaker 10: to head into a topic that is no stranger to

2624
02:23:15,640 --> 02:23:18,600
Speaker 10: soccer the sport, and has something that has become an

2625
02:23:18,720 --> 02:23:22,200
Speaker 10: armchair fascination of mind, which is sports crime. In a

2626
02:23:22,280 --> 02:23:26,520
Speaker 10: game of competition, equal playing fields, things that nature, the

2627
02:23:26,879 --> 02:23:30,600
Speaker 10: desire to use off the field powers and advantages to

2628
02:23:30,760 --> 02:23:35,199
Speaker 10: gain a higher edge over your other opponents oftentimes gets rewarded,

2629
02:23:35,320 --> 02:23:39,640
Speaker 10: especially now in the world of sports being big for business, advertising,

2630
02:23:39,800 --> 02:23:43,320
Speaker 10: gambling and everything else, and especially in the world of soccer,

2631
02:23:43,680 --> 02:23:47,040
Speaker 10: a massive amount of money flowing in from sovereign nations,

2632
02:23:47,400 --> 02:23:49,760
Speaker 10: and while the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and their sovereign

2633
02:23:49,879 --> 02:23:53,360
Speaker 10: private investment fund has been the subject of a lot

2634
02:23:53,400 --> 02:23:56,439
Speaker 10: of ink spilled, especially here in North America in regards

2635
02:23:56,520 --> 02:23:59,400
Speaker 10: to our sports, but over the United Kingdom and in

2636
02:23:59,440 --> 02:24:02,440
Speaker 10: the world of there is another subject that sticks out

2637
02:24:02,520 --> 02:24:05,959
Speaker 10: quite well. Back in two thousand and eight, the Abu

2638
02:24:06,080 --> 02:24:10,879
Speaker 10: Dhabi United Group purchased Manchester City. Since that time, Manchester

2639
02:24:11,040 --> 02:24:13,920
Speaker 10: City has gone from a forgettable rival to one of

2640
02:24:13,959 --> 02:24:18,520
Speaker 10: the most storied clubs in British soccer to a absolute powerhouse,

2641
02:24:18,800 --> 02:24:21,560
Speaker 10: domineering the league for the larger part of fifteen years

2642
02:24:21,640 --> 02:24:25,000
Speaker 10: here now with six titles coming in their reign since

2643
02:24:25,120 --> 02:24:29,320
Speaker 10: the Abu Dhabi investment for over the last four years straight,

2644
02:24:29,720 --> 02:24:34,040
Speaker 10: winning three FA Cups, six League Cups and the title

2645
02:24:34,080 --> 02:24:36,560
Speaker 10: of the UEFA Champions League in twenty twenty three. However,

2646
02:24:36,680 --> 02:24:38,640
Speaker 10: it's been no secret for a long time that the

2647
02:24:38,720 --> 02:24:42,680
Speaker 10: finances of Manchester City in regards to their ownership of

2648
02:24:42,720 --> 02:24:45,960
Speaker 10: the United Arab Emirates and the Abu Dhabi United Group

2649
02:24:46,240 --> 02:24:49,240
Speaker 10: have been sketchy to say the least, with a lot

2650
02:24:49,280 --> 02:24:52,800
Speaker 10: of accusations coming that they are able to pay themselves

2651
02:24:52,840 --> 02:24:55,520
Speaker 10: through their sponsorships which happened to be with the merit

2652
02:24:55,600 --> 02:24:58,920
Speaker 10: owned companies, which means that Manchester City, unlike a lot

2653
02:24:58,959 --> 02:25:02,920
Speaker 10: of other clubs is not really at the beheston mercy

2654
02:25:03,080 --> 02:25:07,440
Speaker 10: of outside sponsorships, but rather Peter can pay Paul very

2655
02:25:07,520 --> 02:25:11,680
Speaker 10: easily through moving money through an Emirate owned company like

2656
02:25:11,760 --> 02:25:15,200
Speaker 10: Etihad Airways, one of their largest sponsorships, and pump money

2657
02:25:15,320 --> 02:25:18,840
Speaker 10: directly into the pockets of Manchester City whenever they so

2658
02:25:19,120 --> 02:25:22,040
Speaker 10: need it. The Premier League has been investigating this matter

2659
02:25:22,120 --> 02:25:25,760
Speaker 10: since at least twenty eighteen, and this week everything came

2660
02:25:25,879 --> 02:25:29,160
Speaker 10: to a head as the financial regulators of the league

2661
02:25:29,480 --> 02:25:34,200
Speaker 10: brought before an independent tribunal in Britain a one hundred

2662
02:25:34,240 --> 02:25:40,119
Speaker 10: and fifteen charges against Manchester City in regards to breaching

2663
02:25:40,400 --> 02:25:45,000
Speaker 10: their financial regulations. It has been termed in British tabloids

2664
02:25:45,120 --> 02:25:48,240
Speaker 10: the sports trial of the century, and this will not

2665
02:25:48,320 --> 02:25:50,120
Speaker 10: be a small case to be sure. Although they would

2666
02:25:50,200 --> 02:25:53,200
Speaker 10: like to have this done before the Premier League run

2667
02:25:53,400 --> 02:25:55,920
Speaker 10: ends in twenty twenty five, we should expect at least

2668
02:25:55,920 --> 02:25:59,240
Speaker 10: two to three months for these proceedings. At least Manchester

2669
02:25:59,400 --> 02:26:02,800
Speaker 10: City has denied any wrongdoing and is fighting it tooth

2670
02:26:02,879 --> 02:26:05,520
Speaker 10: and nail. In fact, is even going further than that,

2671
02:26:06,080 --> 02:26:10,640
Speaker 10: not only denying doing but also challenging the Premier League

2672
02:26:10,680 --> 02:26:14,959
Speaker 10: on the legality of its rules limiting competition. In Europe

2673
02:26:15,000 --> 02:26:18,440
Speaker 10: there called competition laws. In the United States, they would

2674
02:26:18,480 --> 02:26:22,360
Speaker 10: be antitrust laws, basically arguing that even if they were

2675
02:26:22,480 --> 02:26:25,880
Speaker 10: guilty of these matters, these really shouldn't be here in

2676
02:26:25,920 --> 02:26:28,240
Speaker 10: the first place, and they should be allowed to send

2677
02:26:28,320 --> 02:26:31,240
Speaker 10: whatever money they so wish, that they shouldn't have to

2678
02:26:31,280 --> 02:26:33,760
Speaker 10: be barred from being able to do business as they

2679
02:26:33,800 --> 02:26:36,920
Speaker 10: so please, in particular objecting to what are called party

2680
02:26:37,000 --> 02:26:40,440
Speaker 10: transaction rules, which restrict the use of associated businesses to

2681
02:26:40,560 --> 02:26:43,120
Speaker 10: funnel money into a club's finances.

2682
02:26:42,720 --> 02:26:45,080
Speaker 2: Like Manchester City is being accused of.

2683
02:26:45,640 --> 02:26:49,520
Speaker 10: However, that is a very anarchist interpretation of what makes

2684
02:26:49,600 --> 02:26:52,160
Speaker 10: a sports league. Everyone has to play by the same rules,

2685
02:26:52,440 --> 02:26:55,240
Speaker 10: and while the Premier League has never been one to

2686
02:26:55,480 --> 02:26:59,160
Speaker 10: really care about trying to enforce things like a salary

2687
02:26:59,240 --> 02:27:02,800
Speaker 10: cap or measures we might find in North America to

2688
02:27:02,959 --> 02:27:05,880
Speaker 10: help level the playing field, there are still rules that

2689
02:27:05,920 --> 02:27:09,000
Speaker 10: every club is expected to follow in order to compete

2690
02:27:09,120 --> 02:27:13,080
Speaker 10: in these competitions, and there has never been anything unfair

2691
02:27:13,120 --> 02:27:16,680
Speaker 10: about that. All in all, we have thirty five charges

2692
02:27:16,760 --> 02:27:19,600
Speaker 10: for failing to cooperate with the Premier League's investigation over

2693
02:27:19,680 --> 02:27:23,080
Speaker 10: a five year period. Fifty four for failure to provide

2694
02:27:23,120 --> 02:27:26,840
Speaker 10: accurate financial information between two thousand and nine and twenty eighteen,

2695
02:27:27,200 --> 02:27:30,199
Speaker 10: fourteen for a failure to provide accurate details for player

2696
02:27:30,280 --> 02:27:33,320
Speaker 10: and manager payments from twenty nine to twenty eighteen. Five

2697
02:27:33,480 --> 02:27:36,280
Speaker 10: for a failure to comply with YUEFA financial fair play

2698
02:27:36,440 --> 02:27:41,080
Speaker 10: rules between twenty thirteen and twenty seventeen. Separately, YUEFA had

2699
02:27:41,120 --> 02:27:44,440
Speaker 10: actually placed a ban on Manchester City for from their

2700
02:27:44,640 --> 02:27:47,320
Speaker 10: level of play, which Manchester City was able to appeal

2701
02:27:47,400 --> 02:27:51,160
Speaker 10: back in twenty twenty and seven for breaching Premier League

2702
02:27:51,160 --> 02:27:55,120
Speaker 10: Profit and sustainability rules from twenty fifteen to twenty eighteen.

2703
02:27:55,480 --> 02:27:58,360
Speaker 10: Making up your total of one hundred and fifteen. This

2704
02:27:58,480 --> 02:28:00,840
Speaker 10: seems like a lot to throw at it, and it is.

2705
02:28:01,520 --> 02:28:03,600
Speaker 10: I would be hard pressed to see Manchester City getting

2706
02:28:03,680 --> 02:28:06,160
Speaker 10: off of all of these charges considering what is at

2707
02:28:06,200 --> 02:28:08,680
Speaker 10: stake here and what is at stake really is a

2708
02:28:08,760 --> 02:28:13,320
Speaker 10: consensus issue among Premier League clubs right now. It is

2709
02:28:13,480 --> 02:28:16,440
Speaker 10: important to say that Everton has been faced with about

2710
02:28:16,520 --> 02:28:20,720
Speaker 10: three different single charges over some of these same exact

2711
02:28:20,840 --> 02:28:24,120
Speaker 10: rules in regards to irregularities and its finances, and has

2712
02:28:24,240 --> 02:28:28,880
Speaker 10: been hit twice so far in regards to points deductions,

2713
02:28:29,480 --> 02:28:32,879
Speaker 10: and there is a prevailing feeling among not just fans,

2714
02:28:32,959 --> 02:28:37,400
Speaker 10: but the sports intelligentia and perhaps even club officials themselves

2715
02:28:37,480 --> 02:28:40,840
Speaker 10: that if one charge can do that to Everton, how

2716
02:28:40,920 --> 02:28:43,400
Speaker 10: are we going to sit here and suggest that one

2717
02:28:43,480 --> 02:28:47,440
Speaker 10: hundred and fifteen charges against Manchester City should only amount

2718
02:28:47,480 --> 02:28:50,800
Speaker 10: to not much. It would be disastrous to not punish

2719
02:28:51,040 --> 02:28:54,199
Speaker 10: Manchester City severely, assuming they're able to The Premier League

2720
02:28:54,240 --> 02:28:56,800
Speaker 10: is able to get most of these charges through On

2721
02:28:56,959 --> 02:28:59,520
Speaker 10: the other side, I don't know if I'm going all

2722
02:28:59,560 --> 02:29:02,080
Speaker 10: the way to nuclear option, which has been suggested by

2723
02:29:02,160 --> 02:29:04,920
Speaker 10: several people watching this cage, which would be that Manchester

2724
02:29:05,000 --> 02:29:08,000
Speaker 10: City would be expelled from the Premier League and probably

2725
02:29:08,040 --> 02:29:11,920
Speaker 10: the English Football League altogether for all of these infractions.

2726
02:29:11,959 --> 02:29:13,160
Speaker 2: I don't see that happening.

2727
02:29:13,480 --> 02:29:15,600
Speaker 10: I would be hard pressed to see something like a

2728
02:29:16,240 --> 02:29:21,000
Speaker 10: relegation for Manchester City happening. I'm not sure what bands

2729
02:29:21,000 --> 02:29:21,720
Speaker 10: would be able to.

2730
02:29:21,720 --> 02:29:22,959
Speaker 2: Be enforced at this point.

2731
02:29:23,840 --> 02:29:27,520
Speaker 10: However, I don't know if a points deduction over a

2732
02:29:27,600 --> 02:29:31,000
Speaker 10: couple of years would really be something that rocks the

2733
02:29:31,040 --> 02:29:34,920
Speaker 10: boat either and satisfies a lot of people for basically

2734
02:29:35,800 --> 02:29:37,840
Speaker 10: the fact that Manchester City has been getting away with

2735
02:29:38,000 --> 02:29:40,560
Speaker 10: it for a really long time. There's a phrase, I

2736
02:29:40,680 --> 02:29:44,400
Speaker 10: love Bernie. Pigs get fed, hoogs gets slaughtered. And for

2737
02:29:44,520 --> 02:29:47,680
Speaker 10: a very long time, Manchester City has been brazenly getting

2738
02:29:47,720 --> 02:29:50,680
Speaker 10: away with a lot of questions as to how it

2739
02:29:50,760 --> 02:29:53,360
Speaker 10: finances all of its operations, how it is able to

2740
02:29:53,600 --> 02:29:58,000
Speaker 10: repeatedly send out huge contracts to managers, to players and

2741
02:29:58,280 --> 02:30:00,720
Speaker 10: to bring in some of the heftiest trends out there.

2742
02:30:01,000 --> 02:30:03,040
Speaker 10: And for a lot of clubs in the Premier League

2743
02:30:03,280 --> 02:30:07,000
Speaker 10: they've taken notice and they have probably have no love

2744
02:30:07,560 --> 02:30:11,000
Speaker 10: for Manchester City how it does business or how or.

2745
02:30:11,080 --> 02:30:13,360
Speaker 2: What its effect on the league has been.

2746
02:30:13,760 --> 02:30:15,840
Speaker 10: It will be interesting to see because in my mind

2747
02:30:16,640 --> 02:30:19,920
Speaker 10: there's only one question here, is Manchester City allowed to

2748
02:30:20,120 --> 02:30:23,440
Speaker 10: break these laws or not? And there are probably a

2749
02:30:23,480 --> 02:30:25,480
Speaker 10: lot of clubs who, even though they don't have the

2750
02:30:25,520 --> 02:30:28,400
Speaker 10: evidence in front of them, would probably tell you today yes,

2751
02:30:28,840 --> 02:30:31,200
Speaker 10: yes they have and they should be punished. But it's

2752
02:30:31,280 --> 02:30:33,560
Speaker 10: up for the tribunal to decide at this point and

2753
02:30:33,840 --> 02:30:37,520
Speaker 10: both parties hopefully will then adhere to whatever their ruling

2754
02:30:37,680 --> 02:30:40,440
Speaker 10: happens to be. It's interesting to note that when Manchester

2755
02:30:40,520 --> 02:30:44,400
Speaker 10: City got off UWEIFA charges on an appeal, it was

2756
02:30:44,480 --> 02:30:47,360
Speaker 10: over a matter of time limit on when those charges

2757
02:30:47,400 --> 02:30:50,480
Speaker 10: could be brought and acted upon. The Premier League has

2758
02:30:50,920 --> 02:30:54,480
Speaker 10: no such time limit on their charges. We'll keep an

2759
02:30:54,480 --> 02:30:56,640
Speaker 10: eye on this case burning because it is indeed the

2760
02:30:56,680 --> 02:30:58,840
Speaker 10: sports case of the century. One of the biggest clubs

2761
02:30:58,920 --> 02:31:01,440
Speaker 10: in the world and one of the wealthy is simply

2762
02:31:01,520 --> 02:31:04,680
Speaker 10: being asked to play by the same rules and for

2763
02:31:05,320 --> 02:31:09,360
Speaker 10: decades not doing so, according to charges being leveled against

2764
02:31:09,400 --> 02:31:12,040
Speaker 10: them by their league. We'll see you next time on

2765
02:31:12,120 --> 02:31:12,879
Speaker 10: the World of Soccer.

2766
02:31:13,560 --> 02:31:16,160
Speaker 2: Actually a real thing. I mean, there's a rumor that

2767
02:31:16,640 --> 02:31:20,040
Speaker 2: Man City could face the threat of relegation if they

2768
02:31:20,080 --> 02:31:24,640
Speaker 2: were found guilty of these serious rule breaches, although legal

2769
02:31:24,760 --> 02:31:27,960
Speaker 2: minds think that will not come to that. Still something

2770
02:31:28,000 --> 02:31:31,800
Speaker 2: worth watching coming up. We wrap up the show. What

2771
02:31:32,000 --> 02:31:35,280
Speaker 2: a week, What a day that Shohyotani had, and what

2772
02:31:35,440 --> 02:31:39,520
Speaker 2: a season he has had? What more can you say? Well,

2773
02:31:39,560 --> 02:31:42,959
Speaker 2: I actually have a couple things I can say. I'm

2774
02:31:43,000 --> 02:31:45,400
Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle. We're company live from the Las Vegas Fox

2775
02:31:45,400 --> 02:31:48,280
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, TIREC dot Com Studios. Keep it locked. You're

2776
02:31:48,280 --> 02:31:50,400
Speaker 2: listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2777
02:31:51,080 --> 02:31:52,960
Speaker 2: All right, wrap it up on the Bernie Frattle Show.

2778
02:31:53,080 --> 02:31:55,520
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Before I go any further, I want

2779
02:31:55,520 --> 02:31:58,680
Speaker 2: to thank my broadcast team back in Los Angeles. They've

2780
02:31:58,680 --> 02:32:01,800
Speaker 2: been with me since eleven pm Pacific time on Friday night.

2781
02:32:01,920 --> 02:32:05,119
Speaker 2: Check that Saturday night. That would be Steve di Seger

2782
02:32:05,200 --> 02:32:10,039
Speaker 2: on the updates, Mark Ramsey, our technical producer, and Shay Morgngard,

2783
02:32:10,080 --> 02:32:13,200
Speaker 2: our executive producer. Great job, great teamwork, guys, excellent job

2784
02:32:13,320 --> 02:32:15,800
Speaker 2: on what kind of brand new fool you? And what

2785
02:32:16,080 --> 02:32:18,920
Speaker 2: my name? That's how we keep the show on the air,

2786
02:32:19,040 --> 02:32:25,240
Speaker 2: glued together with our team. It's been quite a week

2787
02:32:25,840 --> 02:32:29,240
Speaker 2: for Shoho Tani. It was quite a Thursday night. It's

2788
02:32:29,240 --> 02:32:31,120
Speaker 2: been quite a season, wasn't it supposed to be a

2789
02:32:31,200 --> 02:32:36,400
Speaker 2: rehab season? And so you ask yourself, after all the accolades,

2790
02:32:36,480 --> 02:32:39,600
Speaker 2: after all the highlights, after all the record setting, what

2791
02:32:39,800 --> 02:32:43,880
Speaker 2: more can you say? There actually is some things more

2792
02:32:44,440 --> 02:32:47,560
Speaker 2: you can say, because the more you peel back the onion,

2793
02:32:47,600 --> 02:32:52,520
Speaker 2: the more you realize how incredibly sensational what Shoheo Tani

2794
02:32:52,600 --> 02:32:56,560
Speaker 2: has done is even, yes, that much more sensational. That's

2795
02:32:56,600 --> 02:33:00,200
Speaker 2: the department of redundancy department. For instance, let's just talk

2796
02:33:00,240 --> 02:33:06,080
Speaker 2: about Thursday night. He had ten RBIs. Ten RBIs had

2797
02:33:06,160 --> 02:33:08,640
Speaker 2: never happened from the leadoff spot in the history of baseball.

2798
02:33:09,760 --> 02:33:14,520
Speaker 2: There have been sixteen double digit games RBI performances from

2799
02:33:14,600 --> 02:33:17,080
Speaker 2: leadoff spot in the history of Major League Baseball, but

2800
02:33:17,200 --> 02:33:21,720
Speaker 2: only won ten RBI. That was Shoheo Tani. So Shoheo

2801
02:33:21,840 --> 02:33:24,480
Speaker 2: Tani wasted no time in getting to fifty to fifty,

2802
02:33:25,040 --> 02:33:28,680
Speaker 2: fifty home runs, fifty stolen bases, the first player to

2803
02:33:28,720 --> 02:33:31,360
Speaker 2: ever do it in history. But what more can you say?

2804
02:33:31,760 --> 02:33:34,080
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what more can you say? Of the

2805
02:33:34,200 --> 02:33:37,039
Speaker 2: six previous players who got to the forty forty club,

2806
02:33:38,360 --> 02:33:41,760
Speaker 2: Odani got to fifty to fifty faster, then four of

2807
02:33:41,840 --> 02:33:44,680
Speaker 2: the six got to forty forty. Can you imagine that

2808
02:33:46,400 --> 02:33:50,200
Speaker 2: Shohy in twenty twenty two became the only player in

2809
02:33:50,280 --> 02:33:54,560
Speaker 2: Major league history to get thirty home runs in a game, pitch,

2810
02:33:55,600 --> 02:33:58,040
Speaker 2: get fifteen victories on the mound, and strike out two

2811
02:33:58,160 --> 02:34:02,160
Speaker 2: hundred players asap in the history of Major League baseball

2812
02:34:02,360 --> 02:34:06,000
Speaker 2: in the same season. Otani will not win the four

2813
02:34:06,040 --> 02:34:09,480
Speaker 2: straight VP this season only because Aaron Judge had sixty

2814
02:34:09,560 --> 02:34:12,000
Speaker 2: two home runs back in twenty twenty two, or he'd

2815
02:34:12,000 --> 02:34:14,360
Speaker 2: be honest way to do it. By the way, Otani

2816
02:34:14,600 --> 02:34:17,160
Speaker 2: will be the MVP in the National League. He'll be

2817
02:34:17,280 --> 02:34:19,240
Speaker 2: only the first player in history to win back to

2818
02:34:19,320 --> 02:34:22,800
Speaker 2: back MVPs in different leagues. Did it the American League

2819
02:34:22,800 --> 02:34:24,800
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. Now he'll do it in the

2820
02:34:25,400 --> 02:34:28,600
Speaker 2: National League in twenty twenty four. I know you're thinking,

2821
02:34:28,720 --> 02:34:31,760
Speaker 2: Frank Robinson, he also had an MVP in each league,

2822
02:34:32,240 --> 02:34:36,320
Speaker 2: but he didn't do it back to back. What Shohei

2823
02:34:36,360 --> 02:34:40,600
Speaker 2: Otani has done defies logic completely. And this was supposed

2824
02:34:40,640 --> 02:34:44,560
Speaker 2: to be, again, a rehab season. But let me tell

2825
02:34:44,560 --> 02:34:48,560
Speaker 2: you what this season also represents. It's the season following

2826
02:34:50,080 --> 02:34:53,879
Speaker 2: the It's the season following Otani's opportunity to quote get

2827
02:34:54,000 --> 02:34:58,200
Speaker 2: the bag. Right. We all know the contract he just got.

2828
02:34:59,120 --> 02:35:02,040
Speaker 2: But when you go back act ten twelve years in

2829
02:35:02,120 --> 02:35:04,840
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, some of these astronomical contracts were paid,

2830
02:35:06,080 --> 02:35:10,600
Speaker 2: you realize how unusual what Otani is doing now, because seldom,

2831
02:35:10,680 --> 02:35:14,520
Speaker 2: if ever, frankly never does a player get paid break

2832
02:35:14,600 --> 02:35:17,400
Speaker 2: the bank and then come out the following year and

2833
02:35:17,520 --> 02:35:20,480
Speaker 2: have a big year. Typically they fall backward. You don't

2834
02:35:20,480 --> 02:35:23,360
Speaker 2: believe me, Aaron Judge. Last year was the first year

2835
02:35:23,360 --> 02:35:26,039
Speaker 2: of his MEGA deal. His batting average dropped forty four

2836
02:35:26,080 --> 02:35:28,680
Speaker 2: points for twenty twenty two. Yes, he's making up for

2837
02:35:28,800 --> 02:35:30,920
Speaker 2: it this year, but the year after getting the bag,

2838
02:35:31,040 --> 02:35:34,320
Speaker 2: even Aaron Judge dropped. How about Bryce Harper, He didn't

2839
02:35:34,360 --> 02:35:37,800
Speaker 2: exactly exceed expectations until his third season when he won

2840
02:35:37,840 --> 02:35:40,760
Speaker 2: the MVP. Mookie Betts he got the bag, and then

2841
02:35:40,800 --> 02:35:43,600
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty was the COVID season pandemic year. He

2842
02:35:43,680 --> 02:35:48,160
Speaker 2: played well but he didn't go crazy. But his first

2843
02:35:48,200 --> 02:35:50,880
Speaker 2: full season twenty twenty one, Mookie hit a career low

2844
02:35:50,920 --> 02:35:55,160
Speaker 2: two sixty four after getting the bag. Albert Poolhols fell

2845
02:35:55,240 --> 02:35:58,680
Speaker 2: off a cliff. You know he did. Garrett Cole took

2846
02:35:58,760 --> 02:36:01,560
Speaker 2: four years until he exceeded the expectations when he won

2847
02:36:01,600 --> 02:36:05,080
Speaker 2: the Cy Young Award after getting the bag. Jacob Degram

2848
02:36:05,440 --> 02:36:08,400
Speaker 2: last time he was healthy was twenty nineteen three. Injury

2849
02:36:08,480 --> 02:36:11,280
Speaker 2: riddled seasons with the Mets ends up in Texas, you

2850
02:36:11,400 --> 02:36:14,160
Speaker 2: get the drift. Even Max Scherzer, who's dal with Washington

2851
02:36:14,640 --> 02:36:17,359
Speaker 2: was considered to be worth it, had the most losses

2852
02:36:17,720 --> 02:36:20,240
Speaker 2: for a season in his career The following year after

2853
02:36:20,320 --> 02:36:24,600
Speaker 2: getting the big deal. Even shortstops Corey Seger, Fernando Tatis,

2854
02:36:24,840 --> 02:36:29,440
Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor, Trey Turners, Andre Bogart's Manny Machado. Every one

2855
02:36:29,520 --> 02:36:32,480
Speaker 2: of them had a bad year after getting the bag

2856
02:36:32,600 --> 02:36:35,720
Speaker 2: the year before. All that does is make what O'tani's

2857
02:36:35,760 --> 02:36:39,760
Speaker 2: epic season has been that much more epic. By the way,

2858
02:36:39,920 --> 02:36:42,800
Speaker 2: Mushadow even lost his job to Fernando Tatis, who lost

2859
02:36:42,879 --> 02:36:46,480
Speaker 2: his job to doping, congratulates to show, Hey, he's gonna

2860
02:36:46,480 --> 02:36:48,320
Speaker 2: do it for the Bernie Frater Show, but keep it

2861
02:36:48,400 --> 02:36:52,760
Speaker 2: locked up. Next the Great Andy Furman on Fox Sports Radio.
