1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 2: Well that's right, you heard the man that time of week.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: My name it's Bertie Faday. We are coming a line

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: from the Fox Sports Radio studios here in Las Vegas.

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 2: Absolute Jam packs show tonight, Sports Field Saturday will take

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 2: you up to three am Pacific, six am Eastern. And

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: I am told that Saturday, September thirteenth was National Positive

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: Thinking Day. So not positive the Terrence Crawford camp after

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: his impressive victory over Saul Canelo Alvarez, making him I

10
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: believe the first ever boxhered old Belts Championship Belts in

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: three way classes. Congratulations to Terrence Crawford. I am positive

12
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: at Crawford and his camp will sleep like a baby

13
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: tonight after they're done blowing up the town for a while. Meanwhile,

14
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: the Notre Dame fighting Irish, I'm positive they'll sleep like

15
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 2: a baby tonight as well. In their nation. Well, you know,

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: like a baby where you wake up every two hours

17
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: crying with a load in your shorts. That's how they're

18
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: gonna sleep. Notre Dame's not lost three in a row.

19
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: If you've been scoring at home, I know it was

20
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: to Ohio State in Miami and Texas A and M.

21
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: But that's not supposed to happen. Texas A and M

22
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: strolled into South Bend Saturday, and these are two teams

23
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: that have they've built their reputations in recent years. Hard

24
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: nosed teams win games with dominant defense a punishing rushing attack.

25
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: Last year, that's what the Irish did on Opening Night

26
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: in Kyle Station, winning twenty three to thirteen. That was

27
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: out the windows. Saturday, both teams combined for eighty one points.

28
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: But again, you've heard me say it a thousand times.

29
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: You can script everything in sports. But the ending Notre

30
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: Dame botches an extra point try in the fourth quarter

31
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: after taking the lead with about three minutes to go.

32
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: That allowed Texas A and M to drive the field

33
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: and on the final play of the game they throw

34
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: a touchdown past me eleven yard line, they make the

35
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: extra point. Notre Dame now has two losses and it

36
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: wasn't even November fifteenth. Yet that's a scenario for missing

37
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: the college football playoff because they're not going to get

38
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: that many more chances to beat top flight teams in

39
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: bolster their resume. They're not in the conference. They do

40
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: get Purdue next week. So there's that. How about LSU

41
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: and Brian Kelly, known typically for their well prolific offenses

42
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: over the years, not so much, but they're three to zero.

43
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: Saturday was a master class at home. They beat Florida

44
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: twenty to ten. They picked off DJ Lagway not one,

45
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: not two, not three, not four, not seven, lebron five times,

46
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: five times. Kelly admitted that the game plan was to

47
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: confuse mister Lagway, and I would say, I don't know

48
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: if he was confused, but he threw five picks. What's interesting, though, is,

49
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: you know they say winning cures all hills. That offense

50
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: is you know, what's the fuss Meyer about Nussmeyer. I'm

51
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: missing something here. It hasn't shown up yet to the

52
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: way we were told it would on the Lester three

53
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: and oh might be underwhelming day for Gerett Ninchmeyer in

54
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: the offense, but Kelly seems content at the moment to say, hey,

55
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: we're a defensive team. Now, okay, you are three and oh.

56
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: By the way, along those same lines, all the respect

57
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: to DJ Lagway, all right, we were told heading into

58
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: next year the way too soon draft or whatever, the

59
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: actually two years from now, possibly Arch Manning will get

60
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: to him later. DJ Lagway, maybe we don't want of

61
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: them will be the top pick while I get it.

62
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: Lagway had some great moments his freshman season. He made

63
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: Florida very trendy pick to go on and run for

64
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: the SEC title three games into the year. Uh h

65
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: h Lagway. The entire Gators offense that are billing nip here.

66
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: They couldn't score in a women's prison with a fist

67
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: full of fifties. Yeah, they say a running game is

68
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: a quarterback's best friend. Well, Lagway, you're on your own,

69
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: my friend. Florida doesn't have a running game. On to

70
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: Cincinnati or something like that. Georgia meanwhile, they actually did

71
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: find an offense on Saturday, and they're gonna need it.

72
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: The SEC is loaded. You saw it, We saw Tennessee

73
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: when every bit of that game except on the scoreboard.

74
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: A dramatic forty four to forty one win for Georgia

75
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: and overtime. Kirby Smart admitted that Tennessee deserve to win,

76
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: and they did, but give it up to Gunner Stockton

77
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 2: because there's an old saying, can you be great when

78
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: the situation? The man's greatness? He he was, He rose

79
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: time and time again through for three oh four or

80
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: thirty eight yard Rouchie performance, the accounted for three touchdowns.

81
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: The key takeaway here is Georgia has a quarterback they

82
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: can rely on in the clutch. That's the way I

83
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: see it. That's a great sign because the defense and

84
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: their defensive showing suggests that the irony lsu had always

85
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: had an offense. Their defense let him down. Georgia has

86
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: always had a defense. Hell, they're all playing for the

87
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: Eagles now. But be that as it may, Georgia got

88
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: it done. They did what they needed to do. They

89
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: did it with offense. Back to Tennessee. You may recall

90
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: last June, I said the big news is at Nico.

91
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: A million dollars was enough for him, so he went

92
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: to UCLA. I had, hey, lady, check how's UCLA doing

93
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: this year. We'll have to get the cracks week. I'll

94
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: have to check on that later and see how they're doing.

95
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: But I talked about this kid, Joey Aguilar, who I

96
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: heard great things about it Appalachian State, and not just

97
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: that he put up numbers at Appalachian State, but he's

98
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: sort of built to play the position, all right. I

99
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: think Tennessee kind of won this one. Aguilar started Saturday

100
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: becoming the first SEC quarterback in twenty years to go

101
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: fourteen for fourteen in one quarter of play. The dust cleared,

102
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: Aguilar had thrown for three hundred and seventy one yards

103
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: five touchdowns and by the way, again, Georgia was thought

104
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: to have one of the best defensive units. Maybe they

105
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: do okay. Not bad for a guy who was their

106
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: second choice at Tennessee after Niko build to Ucla due

107
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: to an nil dispute. Again, Look, you're never gonna hear

108
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: me say this is a great loss. There is no

109
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: such thing as a good loss. Looks like a good

110
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 2: kidney Stone. Tennessee didn't get the win, But Tennessee fans,

111
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: you can sleep well knowing that Joey Aguilar is your

112
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: guy he bawled out in the thriller. And the fact

113
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: that it came less than twenty four hours after Nico's

114
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: Bruins were barrassed at home thirty five to ten at

115
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: sixteen point favorites by a pretty tough, little New Mexico

116
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: team that is going to leave a mark Clemson on

117
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: the Clemson look. I never really bought the Clemson hype

118
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: going into this year. Everybody loved him fair enough, fair enough.

119
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: They're one and two now, though, and Clemson is just

120
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: not the same as they were five to seven years ago.

121
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: Things that used to feel seamless and easy not look

122
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: like a struggle. Clemson starts slow. I'm not sure what

123
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: it is. They look sluggish, they look like I don't know.

124
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: I don't have a cute analogy for that one. Clemson

125
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: used to rightfully hold a large part of the conversation

126
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: when you were talking about the nation's top team. And again,

127
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: before Deshaun Watson had his issues, he was a hell

128
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: of a quarterback at Clemson, and Trevor Lawrence as well,

129
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: and neither one of them might think have any ability left.

130
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: Clemson's lost to Georgia Tech dropped him to one and

131
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: four over the last five games versus Power Conference competition,

132
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: and give it up to Georgia Tech. I love Haines King.

133
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: I like the coach, Brent Tee. The dude is the

134
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: real deal. They say death and taxes are the guarantees

135
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: things in life. Well there's another one. Brent Key and

136
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: their Georgia Tech. They always take down the top ranked

137
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 2: a SEC opponent. They added Clemson to their latest you know,

138
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: notch on their belt. And here's what's interesting in Brent

139
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 2: Key's tenure at Georgia Tech, They've been an underdog twenty

140
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 2: two times. Twelve of those times they won out right.

141
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on Georgia Tech and keep an eye

142
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: in Miami. I think Miami has a firm grip on

143
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 2: the entire southeast in the United States, maybe the nation,

144
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: certainly South Florida. They took the Bulls to the woodshed,

145
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: the South Florida Bulls, the aforementioned two and oh South

146
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: Florida Bulls, the hell of a team, but they met

147
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: their match Saturday and lost by thirty seven points. Now

148
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: the Gators, they turned their attention to, you know, winning

149
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: the ACC. I don't think it's going to be Clemson.

150
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: I don't know Georgia Tech. They're going to be a

151
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: tough out. But I got Miami with Carson Beck. That

152
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 2: is a transfer that it's been a huge success. It's

153
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: worked out incredibly well. And they added a defensive coordinator

154
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 2: I'd never heard of, by the name of Corey Heatherman,

155
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: and that might be even more important because they got

156
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: a tremendous defensive line. Finally, I know that there have

157
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: been people lying in wait to piss all over Arch

158
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: Manning if he got off to a slow start, and

159
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: he has, and they keep talking about this wincing. I

160
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: don't know if they're talking about Carson Wentz or whatever

161
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: the hell they're talking about. Something's not right, He's not

162
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: this bad. Something very long here. I know that high

163
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 2: school recruiting rankings might not be the most reliable way

164
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: to evaluate talent. But there's again a big takeaway, and

165
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 2: it happened against Saturday between UTAP and Texas. That game

166
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: shouldn't have should have been decided right after you know,

167
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: the national anthem ended. But you've got a situation where

168
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: Arch Manning lost out to a kid named Malachi Nelson

169
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: who's on his third team at UTEP. He threw for

170
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: almost one hundred yards more than Manning, and Manning only

171
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: threw for one hundred and fourteen yards for the third

172
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: straight start. Manning just looked underwhelming when throwing the ball.

173
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: At one point he tossed ten consecutive incompletions. I know

174
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: he has excellent running ability. He ran for fifty one

175
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: yards and two touchdowns. I know what his ceiling is.

176
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: I know he didn't ask for this he didn't know.

177
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: He never said he was going to be the Heisman

178
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: Trophy winner or come out next year and be the

179
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: first pick. He doesn't drive a Bentley or the misters

180
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,599
Speaker 2: t starter kick. But something is wrong. I expected to

181
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: get fixed, but I don't know. And something looks wrong

182
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 2: with Steve Sarkisian too. It's funny, man, You know what

183
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 2: was that I was saying? Past performance is not a

184
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: guarantee if future success. Yeah, insert your own Texas Clemson

185
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: Notre Dame joke right there by the way. One kid

186
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: who is absolutely the goods, you know, Sheeran Moore. When

187
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: you come back, make sure you keep the training wheels off.

188
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: Bryce Underwood. I am blown away. Everybody knows he's got

189
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: a great arm. Everybody knows he's accurate. He's got a

190
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: physical attitude and a commander of the position, and a

191
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: presence on the field in the huddle, presence becoming of

192
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: a guy in his second year in the NFL. He

193
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: is the real deal. I really think if they had

194
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: turned him loose last week a game's Oklahoma, that would

195
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: have been a much closer game. But be that as

196
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: it may, We'll see what's well with Michigan. They head

197
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: in Nebraska next week, and already that's shaping up to

198
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: be a fun first big sort of a tilt road

199
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: tilt for Michigan, and they'll have their challenges. They got

200
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: to go to USC later in the year. I didn't

201
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 2: mentioned USC. Okay, until you really beat somebody that is worthy.

202
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: They got a nice one to two punch at running back,

203
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: but we've heard the hype before. Don't tell me, show me, yes,

204
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: he looks. They look like they got potential, but don't

205
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 2: tell me show me so look. Next week sort of

206
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: kind of is when college football really starts to ramp up,

207
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: although we don't get to see Oregon Penn State for

208
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. But at least now we're past

209
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 2: these games where they pay, you know, our sisters of

210
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: uncontrollable flatulence to fly in and face the number one

211
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: team and they get a million dollars in the whole

212
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: version of the game to go home. I hate that

213
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: part about college football. All though. We've had some really

214
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: good matchups in the first weeks. But next week it

215
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: really starts for real. YouTube be sure to subscribe to

Speaker 2: Good, good to talk to you. Good to have you back.

256
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: Because it's very opportune. We are only heading into Week

257
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: two of the NFL season, and already injuries are in

258
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: the headlines, starting with the team in San Francisco forty

259
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: nine Ers, who by god were completely snaked bit last year,

260
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: and now their quarterback uh Rock Purty has well. He

261
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: has a couple of injuries, a turf toe and a

262
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: shoulder injury. But let's talk about the turf toe because

263
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: they're saying that could keep him out up to a month.

264
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: Tell the folks what turf toe means, how debilitating it is,

265
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 2: and why it might take a month to heal.

266
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 5: So turn to is a it's called a hyper extension injury.

267
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 5: So just meaning at your teacher, like get on your

268
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 5: tip toes. That's what that's. Now you're your big toes extended.

269
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 5: And now with turf toe, all the weights on that

270
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 5: you're on your foot and bad and go comes back

271
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: towards your body and what happens is that it tears

272
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 5: the capsule below you know, on the on the bottom,

273
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 5: bottom side of the foot. So it you know, like

274
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 5: there's there's different they have different grades. You know one

275
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 5: is just going to be mild, where it's just it's stretching,

276
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 5: not tour that's like about a week. And then you

277
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 5: know grade two is going to be a partial tear

278
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 5: and that is going to be you know, anywhere from

279
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 5: two to four weeks. And when they said, well, you

280
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 5: know Parsons is not that bad. Party's injury is not

281
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 5: that bad. But then they said, well, you know he

282
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 5: might be down for a couple of weeks and maybe

283
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 5: even longer. We know it's got to be at least

284
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 5: a Grade two, maybe a Grade three. And we also

285
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 5: know that they don't like to give They want to

286
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 5: give out as little information as they can, and also

287
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 5: they want to let the other teams know, well, he

288
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 5: might play, because it's you know, if you have if

289
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 5: he might even though they know he won't play. If

290
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 5: they dropped that he might, they still don't prepare, right,

291
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 5: They've got to prepare for somebody, and that any little

292
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 5: edge they can get and they will use.

293
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: Talking to doctor Doug Anderson, NFL Engine, is you fantasy

294
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: owners always particularly concerned about this. To stay with the

295
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, Christian caffrey. McCaffrey has a calf injury,

296
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: and there were fantasy owners actually concerned whether he might play.

297
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: Last week. You' not only played, he had thirty one touches,

298
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: but what does that do to the wear and tear

299
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: when you're trying to heal a calf injury and what's

300
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: the nature of his calf injury.

301
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 5: Well, so McCaffrey said, you know, after the game, he said,

302
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 5: you know, there was nothing serious. It never was. I

303
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 5: knew I was gonna play. I just wanted to be

304
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 5: smart with it, you know, obviously because of what happened

305
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 5: last year, when you know, when IT'SOK much longer, and

306
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 5: you know, I believe it was both of them last year.

307
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 5: So in generals, thinking, you know, they're worried about the Achilles,

308
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 5: other one knows about you know kV was you know,

309
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 5: had his bad calf, and then all of a sudden, bamn,

310
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 5: they'll go to the Achilles and that's you know, that's

311
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 5: the big worry. But in general, caffs, trains and Achilles

312
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 5: chairs are different. You know, it would be interesting if

313
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 5: you're on the inside. I would have loved to, you know,

314
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 5: pinch uh, you know, Rogers Achilles and see if it

315
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 5: was tender. You can if you just bend pictures, Kelly

316
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 5: attend on each side. You know, one side's you know

317
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 5: a little more attended than the other. And you've got

318
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 5: a little bit of a Kelly tend to nine is

319
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 5: and you'll really know it. You know, in the morning

320
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 5: you get up with your first two sentence us to hurt,

321
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 5: and eventually you know it's going to get me sore

322
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 5: all day and you'll feel a bump and a lump

323
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 5: and things like that. So we don't know how many

324
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 5: of these guys are trying to play through this when

325
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 5: they're not that bad or not. I thought it was

326
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 5: kind of interesting on that, you know, on the turf

327
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 5: toe with doctor Purdey is that you know he did

328
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 5: heart it on UH on artificial turf at the Seahawks stadium,

329
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 5: and I read that actually, you know, when they have

330
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 5: the World Cup soccer, they won't play on the artificial turf,

331
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 5: so Seahawks are going to have to They're going to

332
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 5: put it in regular grass for the World Cup and

333
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 5: then remove the regular grass when the football comes back.

334
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 5: And of course the nfl PA doesn't like that at all.

335
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 5: They want grass, and I don't blame them.

336
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 2: Hold that thought. You got some interesting things in your

337
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 2: notes about the different turfs that various NFL stadiums employ

338
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: throughout the league and the differences between the various turfs

339
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: and how some actually lend themselves to more injuries versus

340
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: and others break that down for us well.

341
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 5: So, first of all, when you look at the injury data,

342
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 5: it's not uniform, and that's a problem, right there. You know,

343
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 5: the NFL, we you know, will study. You'll say, well,

344
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 5: you know there's about a ten percent higher rate of

345
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 5: injuries on on turf versus grass. Well, the NFLPA is

346
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 5: going to say, you're crazy. It's like more like you know,

347
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 5: twenty five thirty percent higher and to hire both non

348
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 5: contact and contact and especially you know, higher lower extremity

349
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 5: as especially like you're the turf toe. Well they didn't

350
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 5: call it grass, so they call it turf toe. Why

351
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 5: because that turf is further, you know, And then we

352
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 5: want them to be more flexible, we want them to

353
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 5: move faster. So what happens, you know, you get better shoes,

354
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 5: but your shoes are there more flexible on a hurt

355
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 5: on a hard surface of vam there goes there's a

356
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 5: turk though.

357
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 6: You know.

358
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: Of course, now they have like four or five different

359
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 5: kinds of shoes. I mean they've got firm ground shoes,

360
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 5: they've got soft ground shoes, they've got artificial ground shoes,

361
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 5: they got multi ground shoes. So so and you know,

362
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 5: obviously each brand has little tweaks. All the cleatus are a

363
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 5: little bit different, so that takes time that players have

364
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 5: got to you know, they've got to take some time

365
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 5: to find out which one is going to be best.

366
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 5: And what's interesting is that even the teams that you

367
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 5: know that play, you know on turf, they're they are

368
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 5: generally thinking they still practice on grass. So you're touching

369
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 5: one service that you're going to play on another surface.

370
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 5: And you know, people will say, well, there's only a

371
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 5: two different kinds of turf in the NFL, but when

372
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 5: you you know, maybe so. But you know what, if

373
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 5: you actually do the mappen count, there's like nine different times.

374
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 5: I mean one brand may have four you know, Field

375
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 5: Turf has four different brands, but still the Field Turf Classic,

376
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 5: the Field Turf Core, Field Turf Revolution, all these things

377
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 5: are going to be a little bit different. So and

378
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 5: so again, if you're not accustomed to that, that's going

379
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 5: to also increase the risk of having an issue.

380
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 2: I like the way you laid out the various types

381
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: of shoes. What kind of shoes you suppose those high

382
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 2: tops Johnny United? What kind of were those?

383
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, well they were metal cleats and those shoes had

384
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 5: no flexibility. And guess what if you if your shoe

385
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 5: doesn't have any flexibility, you're going to have a much

386
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 5: harder time getting a trip toe. And that's of course

387
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 5: why we didn't see anything called grass toe back in

388
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 5: the day. You know, it wasn't ntil. We were basically

389
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 5: playing on concrete with you know, with a little bit

390
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 5: of plastic on top. And then and then again as

391
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 5: the as the shoes got better and better. Well, a

392
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 5: flexible shoe on a firm surface, Boy, that.

393
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 7: Sets you up for issues on the flip side.

394
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 5: These guys, you know what, they got to move. It's

395
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 5: just the NFL, the speed game. And these guys are bigger,

396
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 5: stronger fashion which also caused injuries. Bigger strongers, and they

397
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 5: wear a lot less.

398
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 7: Padding than they used to go back.

399
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 5: To look at old NFL films the seventies eighties, so

400
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 5: these guys had much more padding in that also blows

401
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 5: you down.

402
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: Oh man, no doubt about it. Look up big the

403
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 2: shoulder pads used to be. And no, they don't even

404
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 2: wear knee pads anymore, doug, No, they I don't see

405
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 2: girdles either.

406
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 5: No, no, And again, well, what's the the number one

407
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 5: injury in the NFL's knee injury? So there you run

408
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 5: around no knee pads. I mean, I don't know how

409
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 5: you know, Obviously when you plant and twist that gets

410
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 5: your that's going to get your meniskets or your cartage, right.

411
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 5: You know, the knee pad is not going to help that.

412
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 5: But still you're hitting the ground repetitive traumas. I mean,

413
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 5: all that's you know, when that thing your need starts

414
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 5: getting in played that in terms going to you know,

415
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 5: also bound the cacs and make it easier.

416
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 7: To get hurt.

417
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 5: But yeah, you know it's really interesting. We knees are

418
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 5: number one and then followed by ankles, and then then

419
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 5: you got upper legs, you know, get henmies and hamies

420
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 5: and quads, followed by like then you then you go

421
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 5: to shoulder and foot and the head injury. So I mean,

422
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 5: I mean, these guys, you know, it's a brutal, brutal game.

423
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 5: I read where they said something like twenty twenty percent

424
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 5: of NHL retirees have authoriots in the mid to late twenties,

425
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 5: compared to five percent of non NFL playing people like

426
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 5: near the rest of us, right and therefouries, like the

427
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 5: people athletic players have authoriots compared to twenty percent that

428
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 5: you know, they didn't play this. You know this this uh,

429
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 5: you know it's a lot of you know, it's a

430
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 5: it's a collision sport, not a contact sport.

431
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 8: Is a collision sport.

432
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: My good buddy Doug Anderson, Doctor Doug Anderson, prominent working

433
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 2: brea works with Olympic athletes, professional athletes. It's move on

434
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 2: to Michael Parsons. He has what's called an L four

435
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: L five facet joint spring in his back, which I

436
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: guess is a more common injury, but they were saying

437
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: he wasn't anywhere near one hundred percent, but he's managed

438
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: to look good his first two games. How debilitating is

439
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 2: an injury or can like tour doll hide it? And

440
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: what are his long term aspects for this year and beyond?

441
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 5: Well, I was kind of surprised when they when they

442
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 5: were making a big thing of a set syndrome, because

443
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 5: I mean, that's basically the kind of thing when you

444
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 5: go to the chiropractor get your back pop right, that's

445
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 5: what that injury is. Now. I guess you know he'd

446
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 5: also held out for he was a little bit deconditioned

447
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 5: on top of that. But you know again it was like,

448
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 5: wait a minute, he's got potensive he should be fine,

449
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 5: and what do you have But thirty plays the first

450
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 5: game with the sack and then got l asked, what

451
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 5: do you have? I mean this guy, you know, so

452
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 5: I think he's fine. I mean I think he got

453
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 5: plenty of treatment. You know, and the medical staff of

454
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 5: these teams has exponentially expanded. I mean used to be

455
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 5: back in the day and there was you know, a

456
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 5: couple of trainers and that's it. I mean they've got

457
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 5: they've got all kinds of trainers and physical therapists. Some

458
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 5: of them have Cairo, some of them have acupunctioners in

459
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 5: and got strength conditioning guys, that got performance guys, they

460
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 5: got the video guys. Everything's getting am I so it is.

461
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 5: You know, it's definitely changed. Where they have. What they

462
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 5: have is massive. And you know, when these guys aren't

463
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 5: they can't play. You know, hey, guess what you're You're

464
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 5: you're going to the facility. You're fine if you don't

465
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 5: show up. But the rest of us, we know, we

466
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 5: have the injury. We go to the therapy. We go

467
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 5: to therapy two three times a week. These details are

468
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 5: getting treated four or five times a day to find

469
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 5: if they if they if they're not there, and they

470
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 5: get everything right, I mean everything under the sun. You know,

471
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 5: money is no object.

472
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 8: When it comes to these guys.

473
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 5: And on top of that, they've got amazing genetics and

474
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 5: they're any motive be able to get better because they

475
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 5: know that you know, they're not on the field, but

476
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 5: team has no use for them, and so you know

477
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 5: they're going to push their bodies to the breaking points,

478
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 5: you know, to make sure they can get on that

479
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 5: get on that field.

480
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 2: That's a perfect segue to the next guy I want

481
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 2: to bring up Xavi. You're worthy of the Chiefs. When

482
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: I saw the injury, we could go Friday. I said

483
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: to my wife, I said, that's a separated shoulder. You

484
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: could see it. Well, he does have one. But they're

485
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: talking about in a brace and possibly playing and like

486
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: you said, a collision sport. How dangerous is it for

487
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: Worthy to do this? How much range of motion and

488
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 2: his catch radius is he going to lose? And how

489
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: much is Exavier Worthy? Uh, you know, risking further more

490
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: debilitating injury if he gets on the field Monday night.

491
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, and yes, but you can take it a

492
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 5: step further. It's like you watch a lot of football.

493
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 5: I've watched a lot of football. I mean, come on, man,

494
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 5: I mean, you're doing it your star tak tied end

495
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 5: takes out your star wide receiver. How many times have

496
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 5: we seen that?

497
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 7: Like, uh never?

498
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 5: So some of this is just you know, obviously just

499
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 5: horrible bad luck. But I don't think it was as

500
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 5: bad as everybody thought because surgeony is completely ruled out,

501
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 5: So you know, he's dealing with something that you know,

502
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 5: when you will not shoulder moves where it's not supposed

503
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 5: to be. And then even if you know spontancy relocates,

504
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 5: you still stretched the drink capsule and irritated those tendons. Again,

505
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 5: we don't know how bad it is. I'm not surprised,

506
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 5: you know, he's out this week. But again, trying to

507
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 5: you know, trying to play, you know, trying to catch

508
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 5: a ball with a shoulder like that, that's not that's

509
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 5: not going to be fun. Although we also know that

510
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 5: they you know, they will take meds you know that

511
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 5: will reduce the pain to the point where they can't

512
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 5: even feel it, right, I mean, pain is our natural

513
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 5: warning sign that says they don't do this. But you know,

514
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 5: you go and you get on that, you know, you

515
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 5: get that, you get your turn doll shot and all

516
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 5: of a sudden you don't feel a thing, so you

517
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 5: can go out there and guess what you can also get.

518
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 5: You know, you can also dig a hole and damage yourself,

519
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 5: you know. More so it will be interesting to see again,

520
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 5: it's in such a short past season.

521
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 7: In the perfect world, you'd.

522
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 5: Be able to say, Okay, you know, we'll see you know,

523
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 5: we'll see you in six eight weeks when it when

524
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 5: you're one hundred percent. But as we know already, they've

525
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 5: already played one game. There's probably almost anyone that's had

526
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 5: any time on the field already is no longer one

527
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 5: hundred percent. They've all got bumps and bruises and things

528
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 5: like that. You know the thing they say, we're playing hurt,

529
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 5: Well what not injured? Well those are all injuries are

530
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 5: just wild injuries for you know, they're not in major injuries.

531
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 5: But still that's what they add up.

532
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

533
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 5: Uh.

534
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 2: When I covered the Lions Matt Stafford's rookie season, he

535
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: actually dislocated his shoulder in the third quarter. It's the

536
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns came back, they popped it in. He came

537
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 2: back and threw a touchdown pass. But he's not running

538
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: rocks over the middle, you know, where linebackers are coming

539
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 2: at him with bad intentions. So it's not I mean

540
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: not just catching the ball, but you know, absorbing physical

541
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 2: contact as well that that can't be good for the shoulder.

542
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: Last last one to go go ahead?

543
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no, I go ahead, Yeah no.

544
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: I just kind of wanted to make that distinction, but

545
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: all points duly noted. Last one, you absolutely nailed last

546
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: year that Aaron Rodgers coming off of his achilles surgery

547
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: at age forty would be fine, and noted multiple examples

548
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 2: of players over the years that healed and came back

549
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: to not only play the following year, but multiple years.

550
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: Rogers now heading in to his forty first year, looked

551
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: okay Week one. You expect that to continue or is

552
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 2: he at risk because that achilles has been repaired once?

553
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 5: I would expect it to continue that. I think he's

554
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 5: got a better line this year. What's playing me last

555
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 5: year was his quarterback rating was the lowest I get

556
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 5: in his career. Right, and yet on the flip side,

557
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 5: like the CBS Sports said, well, he has rided him

558
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 5: as the ninth and best season for a forty plus QB. So,

559
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 5: I mean he had what twenty eight touchdowns and eleven picks.

560
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 5: Eleven picks is high for him, but you know, I

561
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 5: was surprised he's still he is still going to rather

562
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 5: take a sack, you know, than fill a pick. And

563
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 5: of course we saw what he did last week. I

564
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 5: mean it was like, dude, that's Aaron Rodgers from buck

565
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 5: Wings winning MVPs.

566
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: The fantastic stuff. As always, your knowledge based impeccable preparation.

567
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: You do great stuff. We'll be getting you on again

568
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: as the season goes. We don't risk for it, but

569
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: we know that injuries are simply a part of life

570
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: in the NFL.

571
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 5: Yeh, basically sure, And you know it's funny we thing

572
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 5: back of all the rule changes, how much safer the

573
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 5: game is now, yet the injury rate is not going

574
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 5: down because these guys are so big, so strong, so fast.

575
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, the collisions. All right, buddy, Thanks, enjoy the rest

576

579
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: on my show throughout the year. Again, right out of

580
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: the gate, four key injuries to players on prominent teams.

581
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: The Niners have designs on going somewhere this year. So

582
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: we're the chiefs and sort of the Pittsburgh Steelers, so

00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show Fox Sports Radio. Come to live from

619
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas studios of Fox Sports Radio. We are

620
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: fourteen minutes away from the top of the hour, which

621
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: means the midnight hour eight seven seven nine nine six

622
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: six three six nine eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

623
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 2: Here's what's on my mind. I want to start with

624
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: Adam Silver. He provided a very strange response to the

625
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: rising costs of watching NBA games this year. He referred

626
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: to the league as quote a very much highlights based sports,

627
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: a sports in response to the various concerns surrounding the

628
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: new broadcast schedule UH, in which, of course there's UH

629
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: multiple modalities in which the NB will be broadcasts this year,

630
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 2: not all of them are free against the NBA coverage

631
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: is gonna look different this upcoming season. There's a new

632
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: media rights deal of course the esp and NBC, but Amazon.

633
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: This means NBA games, a lot of NBA games no

634
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: longer are well no NBA games on D and t uh.

635
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: But you're gonna have, you know, streaming on Peacock, which

636
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: is NBC streaming service, and Amazon Prime, et cetera, et cetera.

637
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 2: And what's interesting is uh. His his response was, well,

638
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 2: you know't just watch the highlights. I'm teraphrasing, of course,

639
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: how does that make you feel, as a consumer and

640
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: as a fan just curious? I don't want to, you know,

641
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: be I don't want to kill an ant with a

642
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: sledgehammer here. But it was a very odd, I thought response,

643
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 2: and one of many Adam Silver's has had over the years. Uh,

644
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: because again, we're we're in a new world now and

645
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 2: games are not just on a regular TV or cable TV.

646
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 2: They're they're streaming and sometimes you have to pay for them.

647
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: And that was Silver's response. So I would would really

648
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: like to hear you know what your thoughts are on that.

649
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: There will be Thursday games on Prime. Friday games will

650
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: be on ABC, ESPN and Prime Plus. Sunday matchups Peacock

651
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: will start later in the season, but over the over

652
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 2: the over the over the season, there will be national

653
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: TV games on Monday on Peacock and on Thursday on

654
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: Prime Video, and Friday on Prime Video and then Tuesday

655
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 2: NBC and Peacock and at Sunday Peacock. So it's not

656
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: just turn on your TV anymore. Just a thought. I know,

657
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 2: I'm kind of elongating that second. I'd like to we'll

658
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: pine on this. So Aaron Rodgers and Justin Field's swapped teams.

659
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 2: Rogers is now a Steeler, Justin Field is now a Jet.

660
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: All right, Well there's he wants a debate about those two.

661
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 2: Who do you think will have the better season which

662
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 2: might lead their team to the playoffs? Would you take

663
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: Justin Fields, would you take Aaron Rodgers? I expect this

664
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 2: to be a close call. I listen, I'm taking Rogers

665
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 2: on every day Sunday twice. I like Justin Fields. He's

666
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 2: a consumment professional. He's an absolute class acts. He goes

667
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 2: about his business with a great dignity. He's fourteen and

668
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: thirty one. As a starter, he looked good Sunday. He

669
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: set his feet, He made a lot of throws right

670
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: on target. But if you really look at the film,

671
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: people were going gaga about throws that a group of

672
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: five starting quarterback should make easily. He threw a touchdown

673
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: on a wheel route, dropped it nice to get the

674
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 2: five yard. I had about a twenty five yard pass

675
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 2: and I said, oh my god, we'll look at that.

676
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: Come on, is the bar that low? I'll tell you why,

677
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 2: because this would have been a whole different narrative if

678
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: on the final possession for the Jets Sunday, instead of

679
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: going a mere seven yards in four plays and losing

680
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 2: the game, if he could have engineered and manufactured to

681
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 2: drive down field. But when it mattered most he couldn't

682
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 2: do anything. Now do I see improvement? Yeah? Now the

683
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 2: Jets take on the Bills at home later Sunday afternoon.

684
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: I expect him to start owing too. I expect them

685
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 2: to put up a fight. Rogers and Steelers they host

686
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, may maybe two to zero. But I don't

687
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: want to lead the witness here. If you like Fields,

688
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: better fine, tell me why. If you like Rogers, better

689
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 2: tell me why. Who would you rather have? Aaron Rodgers

690
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 2: or Justin Fields? And one of those circle of life oddities,

691
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 2: they switch teams, and I think there'll be people following them,

692
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 2: just like Deco at UCLA and Joey Aguilar Tennessee. You're

693
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 2: gonna follow those two. They're gonna be, you know, linked

694
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 2: joined at the hip. So Aaron Rodgers or Justin Fields

695
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: and again Adam Silver, you can't afford Hey, just watch

696
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: the highlights. Okay, guess what starts later Sunday the WNBA playoffs,

697
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 2: And a certain network is absolutely force feeding one commercial

698
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: after another, and I get it's their product. And we're

699
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: hearing things like you can't get enough of the WNBA playoffs? Here,

700
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: come in the playoffs? Are you gonna watch the playoffs?

701
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 2: I want to know you see a gentleman for ESPN

702
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 2: last year, I bought this time, or maybe it was

703
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: sooner than that. By the name of David Dennis Junior

704
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 2: said he really wished that Caitlin Clark wasn't playing during

705
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: the playoffs. We could see for real how this league

706
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 2: can draw ratings. Well, he's gonna get his wish. We'll

707
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: see if he's right. We'll see if he's right. Would

708
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 2: you watch if Caitlin Clark was playing? Are you gonna

709
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 2: watch whether even though she's not playing, or would you

710
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 2: not watch either way? Or do you ever even watch

711
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: the NBA? Do you know the WNBA exists? I meant

712
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 2: to say w NBA, so the three topics, But I'm

713
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 2: gonna have some more here for you. And by the way,

714
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 2: consider it like open mic. You got something you want

715
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 2: to ran on, do it? You got something you want

716
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: to get off your chest. We had a player I

717
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 2: want to call I want to talk about Seattle Mariners

718
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 2: last week. Fine, we had the legendary hollering what's his name,

719
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: hollering Bob or whatever the hell's name he's called him,

720
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: just hollering James, thank you. He's just a snore. It

721
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: was a fabulous call. All right, whatever, we're not trying

722
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 2: to solve the world's problems, and we're just trying to

723
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 2: have fun. So the bottom line is, you know, it

724
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily have to be the Rogers Versus Fields topic,

725
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: the Adam Silver topic, or are you going to watch

726
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 2: a WNBA playoffs? You might want to weigh in on

727
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: Canelo versus Crawford fabulous fight Saturday night in Las Vegas.

728
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 2: Crawford won by unanimous decision. Now holds three belts. You

729
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 2: can weigh in on it. What's the future of boxing

730
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 2: with Dana White not promoting some of these? And guess

731
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: who's going to fight Floyd Mayweather next spring? Mike Tyson.

732
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson was in the news this week. He said

733
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: Mayweather was talking issue about him and he said, well,

734
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 2: I can't have that. He waited and waited, and he

735
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: was just minding his own business, you know, managing his

736
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: portfolio and living his life and enjoying and all said Floyd,

737
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: whatever comes out of left field, you know we're all

738
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 2: going to watch it. Society has been infatuated with gladiator

739
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 2: sports since the beginning of time. And I know there'll

740
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 2: be plenty of fake hot Ridge. We got plenty of

741
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 2: shows on this network. Nobody have for this, Well, then

742
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: don't watch it because plenty of people are and everybody

743
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 2: made fun of Jake, Paul and Tyson last year and

744
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: then set records and the money it brought in. Finally,

745
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what you know Angel Reese. Before she

746
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 2: joined the Chicago Sky they were a playoff team. They're

747
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: thirty four games under five hundred or two year tenure.

748
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 2: She's put up some decent personal numbers, but she went

749
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 2: out of town and blaze of glory, throwing her teammates

750
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 2: under the bus, and now not doing her exit interview.

751
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. You can comment on that. You can

752
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 2: comment on a Tyson and Floyd. You can come on

753
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: Canelo Crawford, anything else you want, or Aaron Rodgers versus

00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 2: Justin Fields. Adam Silver and his comments about the NBA

Speaker 2: a m. Pacific six am Eastern. We are merely nine

767
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 2: hours and fifty nine minutes away from NFL week too,

768
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: the full Sunday slate. But we've got business before that.

769
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: We've got a little thing. The callers are lining up,

770
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 2: so we'll get right to it. Aaron Rodgers or Justin Fields,

771
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 2: Adam Silver what are your thoughts about his comments? It's

772
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 2: a highlight league. If you can't afford streaming. And the

773
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 2: WNBA playoffs start later today, are you gonna watch? It's

774
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: time for the mid that hour and here we go.

775
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 2: We take you to the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts, where Jim,

776
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 2: as usual, leads us off. Good evening, Jim, good morning,

777
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 2: Good evening.

778
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 7: How are you hey?

779
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 8: What's going on? Bernie on the first one on the too,

780
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 8: Adam Silva, that's not gonna work because I remember the

781
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 8: Celtics when Bird got there and once he started going

782
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 8: good Sports Channel put our local thing. It was pay

783
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 8: to watch the home games, and like everybody did it.

784
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 8: And then after a while I was like, why are

785
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 8: we doing that? And that like staated. So I don't

786
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 8: think that's going to go anywhere, you know, I mean,

787
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 8: why they're trying to squeeze trying to squeeze money out

788
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 8: of fans, and I just don't think that's right. I

789
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 8: don't think that's gonna last. Rogers Rogers Overfields. Hey Fields

790
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 8: is a good kid and everything like that, But I

791
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 8: think Aaron is going for the brass ring on the

792
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 8: merry Goo around this year if they can get there.

793
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 8: I think he's got a legitimate shot, you know, one

794
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 8: more time.

795
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, look that look on his face. He looked like

796
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 2: he was, you know, all about his business.

797
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 10: Go ahead, oh yeah, popping it.

798
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 8: When he's throwing touchdowns and jumping up and down, we're

799
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 8: like Rayryron, like what's that all. Usually he's acting like

800
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 8: he's in a pew in church. So I think he's

801
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 8: into it. I think he's got I think he's got

802
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 8: a coach and staff, I think and in the persona

803
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 8: of the steal with all the other I think I

804
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 8: think he's got a legitimate shot if they can get there.

805
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 8: And the w NBA, who cares? Without Caitlin, who cares?

806
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 8: No one's gonna watch. No one's not watching.

807
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 5: Now.

808
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 8: If you notice, ever since she got injured, it's been declining, declining, declining, declining.

809
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 2: And uh no, I haven't paid attention to the ratings.

810
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: Does the data show that, Jim, if you had a

811
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 2: chance to sample that, and and and do you expect

812
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: there to be a marked difference in ratings drop since

813
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark's not there versus what was last year?

814
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 8: Yes, exactly, because it was all about her. I mean,

815
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 8: they hated that, but they didn't it's all about marketing.

816
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 8: They screwed up in their marketing. They knew they had

817
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 8: a diamond in the rough there instead of polishing it

818
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 8: and helping out, because she's going to help out everybody,

819
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 8: every player in that league, she would help and they

820
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 8: just it was all about you know, all that culture

821
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 8: stuff and all that, you know, and and the physicality

822
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 8: in the in the in the blatant uh you know

823
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:46,959
Speaker 8: shots she took.

824
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 11: Uh.

825
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,959
Speaker 8: And then and then it came out that the rest

826
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 8: were getting stipends from the league office. You know, they

827
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 8: go this is I've never seen anything more corrupt than

828
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 8: anything bad. I mean that usually happens in leagues on

829
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 8: local levels. It should be happening all pro level.

830
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 2: You know, Jim appreciation candor as always enjoy your sunny man.

831
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot, Steven, Kansas City? Is that next? Welcome in, Steve?

832
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 9: Hey, Bernie, all right, fight night a big city and

833
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 9: big game day in Kansas City. I kind of wanted

834
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 9: to go with your wild card of Bud Crawford making

835
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 9: a making an assault on Mayweather's record. There he's fighting

836
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 9: all the great fights and and and yes, I will

837
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 9: be purchasing Tyson first Mayweather.

838
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 5: I can't, I.

839
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 9: Can't help myself. I think I am definitely not alone.

840
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 9: I think that fight will break records. At see they

841
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 9: arguably the greatest offensive force in boxing versus the greatest

842
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 9: defensive force in money. Mayweather.

843
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 7: We're all, we're all.

844
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 9: We all know Mike will go five or six rounds

845
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 9: and give it all he's got, and uh and maybe

846
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 9: he could hit one shot. We're all looking for one

847
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 9: or two punches to from for Mayweather to go down

848
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 9: and ruin his undefeat did record.

849
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 6: Now we will be an exhibition.

850
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 9: But I mean I mean, who's who's not gonna buy that?

851
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 2: There's you know what's interesting is there's a lot of

852
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people out there. I mean, we've

853
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 2: got shows on this network that's just fake outrage. Oh

854
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,919
Speaker 2: they're welling and screaming. Who asked for this? Okay, don't

855
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 2: watch it?

856
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 12: Who cares?

857
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 2: But but but but again, And you've heard me say

858
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 2: it a thousand times. We are a society infatuated with

859
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 2: gladiator sports, two icons. So you got the floor, Go ahead.

860
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 9: Oh you're sitting you're you're we're all sitting at home

861
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 9: on a Friday or Saturday after we come back from

862
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 9: dinner or whatever. What are you gonna flip on?

863
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 5: I mean, you're you're gonna.

864
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,959
Speaker 9: Flip on Mayweather versus I mean.

865
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 2: What Allen said it best. Nostalgia is a trap, and

866
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 2: there's something nostalgic about this. We don't know what it's

867
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 2: going to look like. It may not live up to

868
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 2: whatever building people want to give it. But aren't you

869
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 2: at least curious?

870
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 9: Sure, and listen about the Angel Reaves Caitlin Clark thing.

871
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 9: You know, I probably won't be watching the playoffs, but

872
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 9: you know, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna rag on

873
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 9: on Angel Reach because you know, we we celebrate Dennis

874
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 9: Rodman when he was going to wrestle with Hulk Hogan

875
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 9: during the playoffs.

876
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 5: I mean, you.

877
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 9: Need for you know, for these events, you need a

878
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 9: Luke Skywalker versus Darth Vader, and even Darth Vader turned

879
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 9: out to be a good guy in the end, So

880
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 9: they have to have Caitlin versus Angel. I'm sorry, That's

881
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 9: that's how you generate. You have to have Larry Bird

882
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 9: versus Magic Johnson. That's just how these things go. And

883
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 9: and no one sadly, like like the previous Colors said,

884
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 9: I don't think any of anybody's gonna watch without Caitlin fighting,

885
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 9: fighting the forces of whoever against her, you know. I mean,

886
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 9: that's how the storyline goes. What was what was the

887
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 9: other one? Aaron Rodgers? I think I'm on Aaron Roy.

888
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 9: I'll vote for Aaron Rodgers. And listen this Adam Silver thing.

889
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 5: I pay.

890
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 9: I pay two hundred bucks to watch all the to

891
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 9: watch all the games, and our teams start getting good

892
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 9: here in Kansas City, and then they shifted to the

893
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 9: gold level. This has got to be illegal. Every time

894
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 9: we I mean I paid to watch all eighty one

895
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 9: Thunder games. They shifted to a different tier, so you

896
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 9: have to pay more. I was not going to pay more.

897
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 9: I'll watch it, I'll watch no more. They shifted the

898
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 9: Royals started playing the Yankees and the Championship, they shifted

899
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 9: it to the gold level. Every single sport you can't

900
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 9: even watch your regular teams unless you pay more than

901
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 9: you're already paying. I mean, it's just that they've got

902
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 9: to maybe that the regulatory you know, aspects of it

903
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 9: are more or are more amenable to it.

904
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:51,439
Speaker 8: Now.

905
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 9: We've got to stop this somehow. This is going to

906
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 9: kill sports. This is going to kill the NBA.

907
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 2: Thanks lost, you know, we were in a free enterprise.

908
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 2: I don't you know, no one likes it. I don't

909
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 2: begrudge him in that sense. And it's an elective thing.

910
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 2: This is just where it's going because people can see

911
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 2: games on multiple platforms and devices now, and I think

912
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 2: it's you know, we're not going back to what we

913
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 2: were were before. So it's just one of those situations

914
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 2: that I just thought Adam Silver's response was a little cavalier.

915
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 2: I'll just watch highlights, and we're a highlight based league.

916
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 2: That's paraphrasing, and maybe that's not fair because it turns

917
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 2: out there are actually more games on network TV this

918
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 2: coming year than there have been in the past, but

919
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,919
Speaker 2: not all of them. So there you have it. Let's

920
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,719

924
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 13: really in the nation cares about what I've got to say.

925
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,720
Speaker 13: But I'm probably not the only Tennessee fan that can't

926
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 13: sleep here.

927
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 2: You yeah, uh, I'm terrible for that kicker.

928
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 13: Man gotten man. But anyway, I'm seventy three years old

929
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 13: and I haven't missed the game, whether I had season

930
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 13: tickets or on the radio or being there or on television.

931
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 13: I haven't missed the game in fifty years, okay, and

932
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 13: I can't remember when I've been so disappointed.

933
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 2: You had a two touchdown lead and all you have

934
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 2: to do is make the field goal. I know it's

935
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 2: easier said than done to go ahead. No, you're justified.

936
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 13: No, well, thank you. That's it. In a nutshell. I mean,

937
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,439
Speaker 13: come on, man, So I don't know. Now I look

938
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 13: at the rest of the schedule, and you know, I

939
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 13: don't know.

940
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 2: Just keep winning games, Bob, because they're going to take

941
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: three teams from the SEC, and Tennessee can be one

942
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 2: of them. Well, you got you everything in front of you.

943
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 2: You're just going to have to take care of business.

944
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 13: Well, I appreciate that. That's very optimistic. And well, Vanderbilt.

945
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 13: I grew up on Vanderbilt football, so I you know

946
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:10,760
Speaker 13: when I was young.

947
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 2: Hell, they might make it. Man, look at that team.

948
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,800

953
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 13: it the playoffs. I'm not a Vandy hater, but anyway,

954
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,479
Speaker 13: I'm sure I'm not the only Tennessee fan that can't leave.

955

Speaker 13: And I listen to I wake up every morning to

00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 13: between two and three point thirty or something.

958
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,480

Speaker 7: Sheell bray own the midnight out, Oh man, just working man.

963
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 7: You know we've got to bring on that bacon burn

964
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 7: of bacon. Man, you gotta be bacon. If you think

965
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 7: either Aaron Rodgers or Justin Fields will be appearing in

966
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 7: a super Bowl near you, and.

967
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 2: Fair enough, But who would you pick this year to

968
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 2: have the better year?

969
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 7: Which is sort of the question, Well this year, I mean, Klin,

970
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 7: I think, yeah, I think it's apparent.

971
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 5: Well, no, I shouldn't say that because it was a it.

972
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 7: Was a pretty crazy game. I'd have to go with

973
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 7: the Hall of Famer, you know.

974
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I think we've seen the ceiling on.

975
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 7: Justin Fields, which is unfortunately he's a one trick pony man.

976
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 7: My dad's a Paris fan, so I don't. I saw

977
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,240
Speaker 7: a lot of Justin Fields in the last few years,

978
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 7: and mostly unimpressive and the two inconsistent, I mean dynamic

979
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 7: on certain plays and they look like a Pop Warner

980
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 7: quoted back on us. So you know, but he's a player.

981
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,720
Speaker 7: I mean, he'll get your five win.

982
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 2: Thoughts on Adam Silver's comments and are you going to

983
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 2: watch the WNBA playoffs?

984
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 7: Tone deaf, tone deff. I think all these leagues are

985
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 7: missing the boats, Bernie, you and I. I mean, I

986
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 7: know it's obviously a different era, but we grew up

987
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 7: on the you know, Monday.

988
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 13: Night football or the game of.

989
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 7: The week era that grew america fan base tremendous, you know,

990
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 7: something like the family could do. And I know we

991
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 7: don't live in that America anymore, so, don't get me wrong.

992
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 7: But at the same time, these basis be the sports

993
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 7: turned into uger knocks based on that formula, and for

994
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,959
Speaker 7: them to be going away from it, I don't know, man,

995
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 7: our kids, you know, I got twenty twenty something and

996
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,720
Speaker 7: those guys don't care about sports the way we cared

997
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 7: about You think they're gonna care enough to come out

998
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 7: of the pocketbook. Hell, they barely want to buy cars

999
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,359
Speaker 7: they want to I mean, they're a weird generation, man,

1000
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 7: So I don't know. I think these sports leagues are

1001
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 7: they I think they need to get a little bit

1002
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 7: more to the basics. And Amen new a billion dollar

1003
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 7: N five. You got to give it away sometimes not

1004
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 7: always can't make it so exclusive that you're hard to find.

1005
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: You know, well, that does become an issue because for

1006
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 2: some people, yeah, fair enough on that. Would you watch

1007
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:55,320
Speaker 2: the WNBA playoffs?

1008
00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:00,919
Speaker 7: Manwel if Caitlyn Clark was playing, I would probably watch

1009
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 7: five minutes so real quickly.

1010
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 2: Before I let you run, because you know, I'm sure

1011
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 2: you're familiar with who David Dennis Junior is on ESPN,

1012
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 2: and he he was a sincere wish I'm paraphrasing that

1013
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 2: he wanted to see what the WNBA look like would

1014
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 2: look like without kit lenccarke. He was convinced. That was

1015
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 2: the impression. I got to want to put words in

1016
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 2: his mouth that the Rays would be just as good

1017
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 2: without her. Now we'll see what happens. You believe they will.

1018
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:31,720
Speaker 7: Be Hell No, we all know she is the WNBA,

1019
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 7: whether they want to realize it with it, whether they

1020
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 7: want to face up to it or not. They're trying

1021
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:40,240
Speaker 7: to kill that golden goose. Lord knows why. We've seen

1022
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 7: the talent level of her come through the league, but

1023
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 7: she's different. She's dynamics. She brings in crowd, she brings

1024
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 7: in eyeballs and in sports man, that's invaluable. They got

1025
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 7: to realize that, but jealousy, man, women are a different

1026
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 7: breed man. Women get so ellis of each other, and

1027
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 7: I think we're seeing that first.

1028
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 5: And with the WNBA Bernie and towards man.

1029

00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 14: that's my biggest.

1072
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 5: Thing for roller Derby. In the place of the w

1073
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 5: n B. I'm pretty sure we get a lot more fans,

1074
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 5: a lot more excitement, and a lot more revenue, uh

1075
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 5: without being revenue loss, and.

1076
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 14: The players can get a percentage of revenue.

1077
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 5: That they want. Uh. You know, we can go on

1078
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,919
Speaker 5: and on endless heard it with with that one.

1079
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 6: Uh.

1080
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 14: As far as Aaron Rodgers and Justin Field just concerned,

1081
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 14: both played mediocre. Neither one really wowed me in the

1082
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 14: sense of, hey, this guy is gonna have a you know,

1083
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 14: a heck of a season this year. You know, they

1084
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,959
Speaker 14: both had great run support all given that they had great,

1085
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 14: you know, great offensive teams that plan uh first week jitters,

1086
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 14: so really really happy to see what what transpires this weekend.

1087
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 7: Uh.

1088
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 14: Speaking of you know quarterbacks McCarthy and uh and and and.

1089
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 5: My guy day with Williams. Yeah, that was that was

1090
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 5: fun to watch until it wasn't and then it got

1091
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 5: fun again and it was like, can we can we

1092
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 5: just take the rains off the guys and.

1093
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 14: Just let them play quarterback and just let.

1094
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 5: Them do the thing. It seemed like McCarthy uh came

1095
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 5: out in the third quarter, fourth quarter and finally got

1096
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 5: to show his arm strength, his running skills, and you

1097
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 5: know the fact that he can actually play the position.

1098
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 5: Moving over to College really quick, Uh, to the to

1099
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 5: the God from Tennessee.

1100
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 14: Man, you guys, Dodgs a.

1101
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 6: Real bullet with with Nico.

1102
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 5: He looks horrible, horrible. I'm not even gonna take the front.

1103
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 5: And I know that to you allude to this to uh,

1104
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 5: it's to be down, you know, to U n l

1105
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 5: V in a.

1106
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 14: Pretty tight game and then almost came back and won it.

1107
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 14: That he's sloppy. He's very sloppy.

1108
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 6: Uh.

1109
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 14: You know, good on U c l A for giving

1110
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 14: them the nine million or the seven million that he

1111
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 14: was asking for that he was looking for. But I'm sorry, guys,

1112
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 14: all are not going nowhere. Let's talk Oregon really quick.

1113
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 14: The Ducks are looking phenomenal. They have all the steed positions,

1114
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 14: they have all the skill positions down. Their defense looks

1115
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 14: like they can do some cleaning up. They absol clean

1116
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 14: enough to do. But their defense looks really good. Everything

1117
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 14: about College this past three weeks has been phenomenal. NFL,

1118
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 14: they have a real competition going on. And lastly, because

1119
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 14: I'm not going to take up Noah, but nobody else's town,

1120
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 14: Adam Silver, you have more than just highlights and stuff

1121
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 14: to worry about.

1122
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 5: You have a whole fraud schemes.

1123
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 2: That's a great story.

1124
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 8: There's more tory.

1125
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 14: Now you have Jalen Brunson, who might be the next

1126
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 14: one that's out it. You might have bigger things with

1127
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 14: the scheming and the plotting of the gambling that's been

1128
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 14: taking place around the league. But dude, you have more

1129
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 14: to worry about than a contract agreement with companies that

1130
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 14: are not broadcasting any of these games. Like when you

1131
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 14: want to watch a Lakers game here in Vegas, you

1132
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 14: can't because sometimes they block it out. And they said,

1133
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 14: you know, you got the Ballgies game going Bernie.

1134
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 5: I love you man, love the show.

1135
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,439
Speaker 14: I'm trying to get back in touch with the show

1136
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 14: more often. Saturdays are just really hard for me now,

1137
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 14: But I love you man. Keep up all the success

1138
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 14: and all the great work.

1139
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 2: Thanks Cale, appreciate you checking in. Buddy H. Gill in

1140
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 2: San Francisco. Welcome in. Is this your first time calling

1141
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 2: the show?

1142
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 15: Indeed?

1143
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, welcome in the first timers. Go ahead, you

1144
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 2: got the floor.

1145
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 7: Oh right on, Well back on the streaming piece.

1146
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 16: It's like the thing about with like with spirts right

1147
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 16: now is exactly that there's so many blackouts, so honestly

1148
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 16: bring out to Jolly Roger because like right now it's

1149
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 16: you might as well just use stream East or something

1150
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 16: like that to like watch the games because of like

1151
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 16: having to go Thursday for like you know, like Amazon,

1152
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 16: and then going to something else for like Sunday, and

1153
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 16: then you can't to go somewhere else for Mondays. Like

1154
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 16: if they had just a uniform it's going to one

1155
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 16: specific service would be one thing, but like having it

1156
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 16: so that nowadays where you just have to guess basically

1157
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 16: or let alone blackouts. Blackouts shouldn't be a thing, especially

1158
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 16: if you're in the area trying to watch your like

1159
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 16: watch your team.

1160
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 6: It just doesn't make any sense.

1161
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 16: But yeah, that's that's about.

1162
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 2: You know, you bring up a really good point because

1163
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 2: a week ago Friday, when the Chiefs opened up against

1164
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 2: the Chargers in Brazil, it's talking to a buddy, you said, hey,

1165
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 2: the games on YouTube, because what you you didn't know?

1166
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:54,479
Speaker 2: So continue on.

1167
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 16: Yeah, like like YouTube I will say, though, is pretty smart.

1168
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 16: I mean it's better than happened with like the first

1169
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 16: Tyson fight, which, by the way, okay, Tyson versus Mayweather

1170
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 16: should not be a thing.

1171
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 5: No, it should not be a thing.

1172
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 16: It should not be a thing.

1173
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 15: Like I'm sorry.

1174
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,959
Speaker 16: No, everyone's gonna say like, oh, yeah, Tyson just needs

1175
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 16: one punch. No no, no, like dude, please stop. Yes,

1176
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 16: you want to get the buck, I get it, but

1177
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 16: like do it somewhere else, do it in coaching. I

1178
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 16: don't know, like you just, dude, don't have the fight anymore.

1179
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 16: Like one, that's the biggest thing. But two, if you're

1180
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 16: getting old man, like even though you're gonna get probably

1181
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 16: peppered up with a few punches and whatnot, like it's

1182
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 16: probably not gonna be as bad as like a heavyweight

1183
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 16: kind of thing. Like no, sorry, pang inside on that piece,

1184
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 16: like the love of all that is good in boxing.

1185
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 16: Stop like get the super fights, like get another, you know, hell,

1186
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 16: get another, like a jury fight, like that's sure with whoever.

1187
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 16: But anyways, no, but the other thing because like San Francisco, uh,

1188
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 16: I will say, I'll watch the w n B a

1189
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 16: like for the playoffs, like yeah, Kaylin Klark is the

1190
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 16: w n b A and what's everything that's going on? Like, Hey,

1191
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 16: if she wants to go to the Bay Area, we

1192
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 16: will take her. We will, oh lordie, we will treat

1193
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 16: her the best. So I mean I joke aside with

1194
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 16: like kind of like you know, the situation. Uh, it

1195
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 16: is kind of cool, especially because with the Valkyries first season,

1196
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 16: whatnot like as an.

1197
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 2: Expansion, first expansion, do you have the playoffs in the

1198
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 2: first year?

1199
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, dude, it's cool.

1200
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 16: Like I will say, like the vibe in the sense

1201
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 16: of the like recognition to the sport. It's not you know,

1202
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 16: it's not like the Warriors, but uh, it's definitely kind

1203
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 16: of has it has a buzz basically, and it's almost

1204
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 16: like a cult following in the sense because like you

1205
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 16: you hear about it, like you hear about like a

1206
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 16: distinct band and all of a sudden like, oh you

1207
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 16: know about that band. It's kind of like that kind

1208
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 16: of feeling. But it's really it's only it's only positive,

1209
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 16: which is really cool.

1210
01:03:55,680 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 2: So, man, pickets are super cheapiol I just thanks so much. Man,

1211
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 2: I got to get to these other calls. But you

1212
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 2: cover a lot of good ground. Don't be a stranger. Okay,

1213
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 2: I want to make sure the folks get in. Thanks again, GEO.

1214
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,160

Speaker 6: Bernie?

1217
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 17: All right, I got two things. First thing, I'm gonna

1218
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 17: touch on Aaron Glenn when he cut that guy after

1219
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 17: fumbling the kickoff.

1220
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 2: Yep.

1221
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 17: I've been thinking about Don Mattingly when he was the

1222
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 17: coach of the Dodgers and yas Yasiel Puigue. Don Mattingly

1223
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 17: was pretty good manager, but yeah, Yasiel Puigue was great,

1224
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 17: and I feel like Maddingly like crushed his spirit and

1225
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 17: because he was a little bit out of control. And anyways,

1226
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 17: I think you got to keep that in mind. If

1227
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 17: you're Aaron Glenn, well.

1228
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 2: You know what you bring up an interesting point. He's

1229
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 2: setting a tone because the other fifty three guys and

1230
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 2: the seventeen as in a practice squad saw that. Jimmy

1231
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 2: Johnson's first year in Dallas in nineteen eighty nine, cut

1232
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 2: a draft choice in preseason for forming a kickoff. He

1233
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 2: called him and said, Son, I'm gonna give you a

1234
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 2: chance to never lose a game for the Dallas Cowboys again.

1235
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 2: He set that tone. Early two years later they were

1236
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. Continue on.

1237
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 17: Okay, and then my second thing is in regards to

1238
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 17: Adam Silver, he's not listening to people. Adam, you're not listening.

1239
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 17: You're not listening to people on Fox Sports Radio. You're

1240
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 17: probably not listening to common sense. People are asking for

1241
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 17: a chocolate chip cookie and you're giving him a half

1242
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:44,439
Speaker 17: half of a mic and ike, and you're offering these

1243
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:49,440
Speaker 17: things that we're not asking for. And if you think

1244
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 17: about the Cubs, they were on WGN all the time.

1245
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 17: How many Cubs fins were made because they were on WGN,

1246
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 17: how much merchandise was sold, and how many lifelong Cubs

1247
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 17: f fans were made because of that being available.

1248
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 2: That's a really good point. That's going back today, good stuff.

1249
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 2: Appreciate that as always. Andrew, thank you, Jack and Denver joined.

1250
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 2: Just welcome in, Jack, how are you?

1251
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 18: It's actually Jeff, she got along.

1252
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 2: But it's all good, it's all good. We're just we're

1253
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 2: just glad you called in. Have you joined us before?

1254
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 2: I have?

1255
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 19: And I love your show and I love the multiple topics.

1256
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 19: But as far as Adam Silver goes, that is just asenine.

1257
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 19: I mean, they're trying to compete with the other markets,

1258
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 19: and now they're making people pay for stuff because I

1259
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 19: have Drake TV, and I've had Drake TV for a while,

1260
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 19: and I was the only one to be able to

1261
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 19: watch the Nuggets on Altitude for three years because the

1262
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 19: other markets here in Denver didn't carry him. And now

1263
01:06:55,640 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 19: not having the NBA on TNT and him asking us

1264
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 19: to pay more to watch NBA, it's just asinine.

1265
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 20: It's stupid.

1266
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,959
Speaker 21: It's like, put it on, let us watch it, don't

1267
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 21: make us pay more for it. It's batten up the

1268
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 21: NFL doing this Prime crap and this Amazon crap.

1269
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 7: It's like you subcracked to your cable number. I want

1270
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 7: to watch what I want to watch.

1271
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 2: That's fair. No, you're consumer. You have a right to

1272
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 2: your opinion. I certainly get it, and I what triggered

1273
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 2: me and what I triggered me, But what prompted me

1274
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 2: was I thought Adam Silver was just kind of cavalier

1275
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 2: in his comments, Well, we we'll just watch highlights. We're

1276
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 2: kind of a highlight league.

1277
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 7: Okay, they're going to lose viewers and it's stupid because

1278
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 7: it's it's nice to.

1279
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 21: Be able to watch the games on ESPN or DNT

1280
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 21: whatever and can watch the games.

1281
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 8: But to pay more for the NBA, No, that's just stupid.

1282
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 7: And as far as the w NBA, yeah, Caitlin Clark

1283
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 7: was playing, I'd watched.

1284
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 2: But if not, no, well she's not. So how do

1285
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 2: you think they're will be.

1286
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 13: Down?

1287
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 14: Down, down down? They're losing their cash cow?

1288
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 2: Good stuff appreciated. Jeff in Denver, don't be a stranger.

1289
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 2: Appreciate the call and strong opinions. Mike the Leprechawn from

1290
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 2: Boston joins us, what's up mate.

1291
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 20: Good morning again, Bernie. I do miss TNT, by the way,

1292
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 20: and the guy GEO had a brilliant point about the blackouts.

1293
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 20: I was trying to watch the Red Sox and the

1294
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 20: Yankees on Thursday and I couldn't find it. I was shocked,

1295
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,759
Speaker 20: and go listen on the radio. I'll do quickly comments

1296
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 20: about the w n B A. I watched the highlights.

1297
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 20: I watched the NBA, the NBA, the w NBA highlights.

1298
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 20: If I were a football fan, I think Rogers for

1299
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 20: one year, but I would take Stoppers for the long term.

1300
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 2: And I met Rogers Fields Rogers versus Field justin Fields.

1301
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 20: Anybody Rogers for one year he has one.

1302
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 2: Yea, I'm just talking about who do you think I

1303
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 2: will do better this year?

1304
01:08:58,280 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 9: What?

1305
01:08:58,600 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 5: This?

1306
01:08:58,920 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 2: Just this coming here?

1307
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 5: Right?

1308
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead.

1309
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 20: So I love soccer. Soccer is on NBC Peacocks. They

1310
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:09,839
Speaker 20: have a Friday in that game. They have three slots

1311
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 20: on Saturday and two on Sunday. And that's so anyway.

1312
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 20: I ran into Robert Powis yesterday at my local grocery

1313
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,720
Speaker 20: store just as an FYI. But I do have a

1314
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 20: funny story for your what kind of fool of you?

1315
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 6: Look it up?

1316
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 20: A guy up in British Columbia in Canada got pulled

1317
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 20: over for DUI and do you know what he was

1318
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 20: doing on the main street. He was driving his daughter's

1319
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:34,759
Speaker 20: Barbie car down the main street.

1320
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 2: All right, we'll end on that, Mike, good stuff. You

1321
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 2: enjoy your football. Sunday, Tyler and Minnesota joined us next

1322
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 2: welcome in.

1323
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 22: Power Ay burn sank my call always, I hate I

1324
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 22: hate to ruin the vibe. Everybody's got a platform on

1325
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 22: but I just want your pretty on the PHILLYKSE game like.

1326
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 9: The spreads very close.

1327
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 15: I hate taking the road, but the way they dominate them.

1328
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 7: The Super Bowl without worthy or Rice.

1329
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 15: And AJ brown Smith didn't really do anything in the

1330
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 15: first game.

1331
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 7: They got to come on at some point like, do

1332
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 7: you think this is a good spot to take a

1333
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 7: road dog.

1334
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 2: Here with well, their road favorite actually Phillyes laying a

1335
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 2: point and a half. I haven't done anything on that.

1336
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 2: I think there's real concern about the Chiefs. I know

1337
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 2: you'll never convince Nick right of that, but these are

1338
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 2: the facts. Tyler. Patrick Mahomes is zero and two against

1339
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 2: the Eagles, including the Super Bowl. He's the only average

1340
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 2: nineteen points a game, and they played the Eagles five touchdowns,

1341
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 2: four interceptions, has been sacked seven times, and frankly, if

1342
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 2: we've been paying attention in the last thirty four games,

1343
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 2: the Chiefs offense points per game ranked sixteenth, yards for

1344
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 2: play rank eighteenth, yards per rush twenty third, big plays

1345
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 2: twenty seventh. The suffice it to say they're not what

1346
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,520
Speaker 2: they were. The difference also, though, now is the Chiefs

1347
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 2: checked that the Eagles have six new players on defense.

1348
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 2: So it's a game. I don't like the game. I

1349
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 2: probably will not touch the game. And I've heard of

1350
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 2: the thousand and has. Of course, I know whenever Patrick

1351
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 2: Mahomes is a dog at home. You know it's a lock,

1352
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 2: but it's a point and a half that's not really

1353
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 2: a dog basically a pick them game, and this is

1354
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 2: not the same Chiefs team. It's just not you got

1355
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 2: the last word.

1356
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 15: That's that's kind of where I come from.

1357
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 9: It's like, it's tough.

1358
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 7: It's tough not to take the Chiefs at home, especially

1359
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 7: going zero.

1360
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 15: To one first, Like you can't think after winning fifteen

1361
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 15: games they actually lose another one at home right away,

1362
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:46,719
Speaker 15: but the Eagles kind of dominated them, and they're coming

1363
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 15: out without any wide receivers or the top two at least,

1364
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 15: and it just when you start adding up the Barkley,

1365
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 15: the AJ Browns, all that with the deep, the Carter

1366
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 15: coming back after spitting on the quarterback, Like it's tough

1367
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 15: to kind of not think that they.

1368
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:03,799
Speaker 7: Should win this game.

1369
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 15: And it's early in the NFL season, so it doesn't

1370
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 15: mean much in the Grand Steama thing, but it's kind

1371
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 15: of feels like they're undervalue tomorrow, which is kind of

1372
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 15: weird with Chiefs at home.

1373
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 2: If I had a gun in my head, and I don't,

1374

1396
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 18: Welcome in, Hey, Bernie, Hi, I just wanted to give

1397
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 18: you a couple of quick time ins on this WNBA. No,

1398
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 18: I won't waste my time. Adam Silver has got to

1399
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 18: be crazy. I mean, he's got his league already forty

1400
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,240
Speaker 18: viewing audience and he's pulling this crap.

1401
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 7: And what was your third one?

1402
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers versus Justin Fields? For this year, who do

1403
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 2: you believe will have the better season?

1404
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 18: Rogers are going to have a better season. And my

1405
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 18: last thing I'd like to ben about a little bit

1406
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 18: is the Sanders family older. Okay, how this is how

1407
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:06,679
Speaker 18: this is all going? Uh, they're already talking about trying

1408
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 18: to do a buyout on him.

1409
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 5: Now really.

1410
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 2: Stand on the lineland. This is interesting because I was

1411
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 2: talking to somebody and they're like, Okay, it blooms off

1412
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:21,640
Speaker 2: the rose. He's basically fourteen and fourteen now as a

1413
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:25,719
Speaker 2: coach doesn't really beat any ranked teams. Uh, it's starting

1414
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 2: to in. The sizzles starting to fade. There's more sizzled

1415
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 2: than steak. But honest to goodness, that you're really you're

1416
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:34,640
Speaker 2: they You've heard people intimate they might be looking at

1417
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:35,520
Speaker 2: a buyout.

1418
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 18: Already talking about it online.

1419
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 2: Okay, but anybody credible talking about that because it's.

1420
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 18: Not yet, No, not yet.

1421
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:46,599
Speaker 2: How do you feel about it? Because let me ask

1422
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 2: you a question. I don't really like the way he

1423
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 2: through his defense under the bush after the Houston game.

1424
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,679
Speaker 2: Don't you know both quarterbacks he's not kind of jumped shit,

1425
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 2: he's really I've always been a Dion fan, but man,

1426
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 2: and does this guy were his emotions on a sleeve?

1427
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 18: He's real wishy washy right now. Who knows what he's

1428
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 18: going to do next? Because I mean, you start, he

1429
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:11,560
Speaker 18: got three quarterbacks, two of them were big time quarterbacks,

1430
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:13,200
Speaker 18: and neither one of them are playing.

1431
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 2: I don't quite get that.

1432
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 18: But other thing about the Sanders family is Shiloh getting

1433
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 18: cut down in Tampa Bay. He showed his emotions again

1434
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 18: by trying to slug. The guy got ejected.

1435
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:24,800
Speaker 5: Right.

1436
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 18: He's got a settlement going back to his senior year

1437
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 18: in high school that he beat up a security office

1438
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 18: officer and he owes over a million dollars in a settlement,

1439
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 18: and he's trying to get a bankruptcy declared on this

1440
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,640
Speaker 18: and he's tried two times already, and he's trying to

1441
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 18: get a third but he doesn't he doesn't even have

1442
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 18: a net worth of over three hundred thousand dollars because

1443
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 18: he owes this guy a bunch of money. So they're

1444
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 18: not they're not talking much about that right now. But

1445
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 18: then you know, they talk about this Mercedes or not

1446
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 18: this Mercedes roll Joyce being delivered in Texas for Shila,

1447
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 18: for Sudeer. That's all true too. So I mean, you know,

1448
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 18: this whole thing is just a mess and just keeps

1449
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 18: getting worse.

1450
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,719
Speaker 2: Interesting. Okay, thanks for checking in. Lynn, don't be a stranger.

1451
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 2: I had vaguely heard something about shallows issues. I haven't

1452
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 2: really talked about it. I don't have enough knowledge. Uh, Mike,

1453
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 2: back to Vegas. Welcome in, Mike, how are you?

1454
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 6: I'm doing good, Bernie, how are you doing good?

1455
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:26,480
Speaker 2: Thanks?

1456
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 6: Okay. I love that there's a folpery of topics and

1457
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 6: we get to talk about them here. Let's see Mike

1458
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:41,599
Speaker 6: Tyson and Floyd Money. Mayweather a complete joke. Not Floyd.

1459
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 6: I don't really like his style of fighting. I never have,

1460
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 6: but I think we have a.

1461
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 2: More enjoyable But will you watch it? Will you watch

1462
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 2: it just for the following? Okay, that's the main thing

1463
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 2: I'm looking at.

1464
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 6: I mean, rather watch George Foreman resurrected from the graves.

1465
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, continue on for a real fight.

1466
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 6: I get many uh many to fight him. So yeah, no,

1467
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 6: I won't watch that fight. It's ridiculous. Uh. Tyson's already

1468
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 6: lost his credibility, uh from the fight previously fight. Okay,

1469
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 6: all right, here's the deal with Caitlin Clark. She is

1470
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 6: the league. Pay us what we're worth. Well, they're not

1471
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:32,599
Speaker 6: worth bupcus because they still they have never made a profit.

1472
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:36,879
Speaker 6: And I was a w NBA fan from the beginning,

1473
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:40,679
Speaker 6: being from La watching the Sparks. That team has been

1474
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 6: through four or five different owners, and that's starting with

1475
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:49,719
Speaker 6: Doctor Bust, went through Magic and other people. So here

1476
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 6: here's the thing. Uh, I think if you want to

1477
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 6: see a boxing match, I think you get better ratings. Uh,

1478
01:17:56,520 --> 01:18:04,679
Speaker 6: Caitlyn Clark versus uh what's her name? May fighting angel

1479
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 6: reaes Angel Rees. So yeah, she is the league king.

1480
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 2: Will you be watching the playoffs period?

1481
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:11,760
Speaker 11: Yes?

1482
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 2: Or no?

1483
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 6: No, I'm not watching the playoffs. I might by accident

1484
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 6: turn it on by by channel surfing, but no, not

1485
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 6: by design. Going to quarterbacks, Justin Fields has been a

1486
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 6: victim of his organizations. Even the Steelers made a very

1487
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 6: big mistake by not leaving him in and.

1488
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 7: Putting in Russell Wilson. I think both quarterbacks Rogers and

1489
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:45,719
Speaker 7: Fields are going to have superb seasons and will Unfield

1490
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 7: the best of his career. But being from Pittsburgh originally,

1491
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 7: we've been whispering for months, well since the Rogers got signed.

1492
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 7: This could be really special. But Sop, everybody stays healthy.

1493
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 7: So your topics have been great spot on, and Adam

1494
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 7: Silver has been a horses ass. And remember one thing

1495
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 7: in business, the tig gets fat and the hog gets blottered.

1496
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:16,640
Speaker 7: I hope that that's not true with my beloved nb A,

1497
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 7: but I don't like getting jerked around with all these

1498
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 7: different platforms to enjoy my sports, and that's what's happening everywhere.

1499
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:32,680
Speaker 2: Thanks for checking in, buddy. What I want Emma to

1501
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 2: hour so I can give you enough time. We're not

1502
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 2: gonna have enough time. We're up against it, and you

1503
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:42,320

1506
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 2: and I'll get to your your Bengals Jags thoughts. It's

1507
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:59,840

1509
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 2: Both teams are gonna face a tough test. And I'll

1510
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:11,719
Speaker 2: get you in my analysis sometime after after the top

1511
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 2: of the hour. Uh. And I think that this game

1512
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 2: is gonna be close. I do. I think it's gonna

1513
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 2: be The Jags are gonna keep it close. The Bengals

1514
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 2: could cover. Well, we'll get to that. I'll get to

1515
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:24,519
Speaker 2: my pros and cons after the top of the hour.

Speaker 2: just eight minutes and fifty nine Try that again, eight

1525
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 2: hours and fifty nine minutes away from Week two in

1526
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:57,599
Speaker 2: the NFL. We have one call to wrap up on

1527
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 2: the Bennight Eletants go to Emmett in Olympia, and but

1528
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 2: thanks for hanging on. Welcome in man, Ernie Fridat, what's

1529
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 2: going on? How you doing good? Thank you man, thank you.

1530
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, Aaron Rodgers, I'll start with teams who have the

1531
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 10: better season him or justin Fields and good to be

1532
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:16,799
Speaker 10: back by the way. I think I look at this. Obviously,

1533
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 10: Steelers and Jets played each other Week one. The Jets

1534
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 10: looks really good. I'm not going to dismiss that.

1535
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 20: Uh.

1536
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 10: And also we have to look at this and also

1537
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:26,680
Speaker 10: think the Steelers are always a team that starts out

1538
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:29,720
Speaker 10: very hot and then fools down. But I think I'm

1539
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 10: gonna lead with history here. I think that we've seen

1540
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 10: Aaron Rodgers do this before. I think that the Jets,

1541
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 10: I mean, he's still gonna be very good. I think

1542
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 10: that he's gonna be the best quarterback they've had.

1543
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 5: In a little bit. But I think when you ask

1544
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 5: who's gonna.

1545
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 10: Do better, I think it has to come down to

1546
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 10: the veteran and the guy who's been in the league

1547
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 10: doing this.

1548
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:50,560
Speaker 7: I mean the Jets defense. You can say, oh, maybe that's.

1549
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 5: You know, not too good.

1550
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 10: I mean sauces overrated, to say what you want to

1551
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 10: say about that, But I think that performance trump to

1552
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 10: anything that he had with the New York Jets. I mean,

1553
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:02,160
Speaker 10: just great for moments overall. And I'm nervous as a

1554
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:04,919
Speaker 10: Seahawks fan that we have to take on Aaron Rodgers tomorrow.

1555
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 5: I'm interested to see what happens with that.

1556
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 10: I think at this point it's a little bit too early,

1557
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 10: But if I had to take one, I'm say Aaron

1558
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 10: Rodgers because of the experience Adam Silver. It's not like

1559
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 10: the Highlight League. I mean, he's not wrong in a way,

1560
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 10: because there's a lot of people who just know what's

1561
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:23,600
Speaker 10: going on in the NBA because of what ops up

1562
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:25,719
Speaker 10: on their IV reels, because of the highlights they see,

1563
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 10: because of Legion hoops or hoops, Central Post and whatever

1564
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 10: it may be on Twitter.

1565
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 5: So he's not wrong in that aspect.

1566
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 10: But when you're the commissioner, the commissioner of the National

1567
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:39,640
Speaker 10: Basketball Association, you've got to be better than that. Like,

1568
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 10: your job is to make this league the most money,

1569
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 10: the most ratings, and you know what's going to happen

1570
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 10: if you can get people to watch these games naturally

1571
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 10: instead of giving up all on my highlights league and

1572
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:51,759
Speaker 10: given too much essays about.

1573
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 5: The NFL, then you really should. If you're the commission

1574
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 5: of the NBA.

1575
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:57,599
Speaker 10: Guess what, If you can get these ratings up, people

1576
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:00,760
Speaker 10: are going to have way more authentic NBA discussions when

1577
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 10: you talk about the actual game. I feel like the

1578
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 10: NBA media as a whole, it's not we break down

1579
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 10: the game sometimes, but a lot of it it's us

1580
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 10: more breaking down dramas, breaking down a way.

1581
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 2: It's become a lot of that it is, And I

1582
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:16,800
Speaker 2: think you'll see some drama in Los Angeles this year.

1583
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:20,080
Speaker 2: It's under the radar right now. But finally, are you

1584
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 2: gonna watch the w NBA Playoffs?

1585
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 10: One more thing quickly on it? I mean it's just obvious.

1586
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,720
Speaker 10: It's low hanging through and I mean not a lot

1587
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,600
Speaker 10: of casuals would know much about the NBA because they

1588
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 10: don't watch it.

1589
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:30,880
Speaker 5: Look at the ratings.

1590
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 7: It sucks.

1591
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 10: I'm an NBA fan, but w NBA Playoffs, I'm not

1592
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 10: going to watch it at all. Bernie, I think the

1593
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 10: you know, the majority of the cars kind of stayed

1594
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,719
Speaker 10: it perfectly. I think it's Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese

1595
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 10: we're in the playoffs. I'd be more down for that,

1596
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 10: you know, the CE and their rivalry, because their rivalry

1597
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 10: is what brings attention to this for I mean, every

1598
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 10: time they played before Caitlin Clark got hurt, that's all

1599
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 10: we talked about.

1600
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 23: But I mean there's so much better stuff to watch,

1601
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:59,040
Speaker 23: Like you know, we'll have the NFL Week two, Week three,

1602
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 23: Week four, all that NFL season, and obviously MLB is

1603
01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 23: wanting now get into the playoffs.

1604
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:07,440
Speaker 10: I'd rather watch that college football NFL over the WNBA playoffs.

1605
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:08,400
Speaker 15: Thank you, Bernie.

1606
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:11,720
Speaker 2: All Right, thanks Sam, and thanks for hanging on in

1607
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:14,719
Speaker 2: th eighteen on Twitter. I want to get to your question.

1608
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 2: I think this Jaggs Bengals matchup is very difficult to handicap.

1609
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 2: I think with the numbers right where it should be,

1610
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 2: Jags are catching three and a half on the road

1611
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 2: against Cincinnati. If you watched the game last week, the

1612
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,679
Speaker 2: Jacksonville showed they're a team that can't really be taken lightly.

1613
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:35,959
Speaker 2: I think their defense is going to be much improved.

1614
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 2: You still have a franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who hasn't

1615
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:43,680
Speaker 2: been great in his career, but I still think it's

1616
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 2: a high ceiling. And you've got other skilled players Travis

1617
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 2: at and Brian Thomas, and I'm curious to see what

1618
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:50,760
Speaker 2: they're going to do with Travis Hunter on defense. He

1619
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 2: only took six defensive snaps last week against Carolina. He

1620
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 2: did play forty two snaps on offense and caught six

1621
01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 2: of six passes. Think think you're going to see more

1622
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 2: of Travis Hunter on defense, and how does that help

1623
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 2: cover Jamar Jason t against I don't know. The bottom

1624
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 2: line is I cannot go against Joe Burrow. But I

1625
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 2: don't want to lay the three and a half either.

1626
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 2: I know I don't mean to be wishy watching you

1627
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 2: remember we got to be very vigilant when we bet

1628
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 2: these games. So gun in my head and I'm not

1629
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 2: involved in this. I'm not telling anybody else what to do.

1630
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 2: I might take a look at the Bengals first half.

1631
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 2: I might take a look at the Bengals first half.

1632
01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 2: But I think it's going to be a game that

1633
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 2: might be a little tighter than people realize. We shall see.

1634
01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 2: It's too early. You don't really know a hell of

1635
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 2: a lot about the NFL to you get to about

1636
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 2: the fourth week. But I did form some impressions the

1637
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 2: first week, and I'd like to just kind of kind

1638
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 2: of and By the way, mister Lucky, I'm going to

1639
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 2: get to my Marvin bad News barn story because he

1640
01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:01,559
Speaker 2: put on Twitter he'd rather watch old ABA highlights then

1641
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 2: the W NBA, and that, of course I cannot think

1642
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 2: about the W in the ABA without Marvin bad News Barnes. All,

1643
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 2: what the hell, I'll just tell the story now, then

1644
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:15,800
Speaker 2: we'll get to NFL first depressions. Marvin bad News Barnes

1645
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 2: is one of the most prolific offensive players in the

1646
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:21,640
Speaker 2: history of basketball period. And when he played for the

1647
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:27,559
Speaker 2: Saint Louis Spirits back in well, I think it's like

1648
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:30,560
Speaker 2: seventy four or seventy five whatever, and Bob Constas was

1649
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:32,880
Speaker 2: actually one of the I think they did play by

1650
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:36,720
Speaker 2: play announcer. So they had one particular road trip I

1651
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 2: believe they were in They were in Philadelphia, and they

1652
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:43,200
Speaker 2: were flying somewhere west and the flight was only about

1653
01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:48,799
Speaker 2: a forty five minute flight. So when bad News Barnes

1654
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:53,599
Speaker 2: got his itinerary, all players get itineraries, and it basically

1655
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 2: said the flight departed at ten ten am in Philadelphia,

1656
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,240
Speaker 2: and I can't remember the city wasigning in it. I

1657
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 2: might have been Saint Louis and it was going to

1658
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 2: land at ten am. So it's going to depart at

1659
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 2: ten ten in Philadelphia, atlant at ten am. Now bad news.

1660
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 2: Barnes wasn't exactly on top of his you know, time

1661
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 2: zone knowledge, that is the words light way of putting it.

1662
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 2: So he looked at Bob Costas and said, Bob, is

1663
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:26,639
Speaker 2: this true? We take off at ten ten and land

1664
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 2: at ten am? And Bob says, yeah, of course, Marvin,

1665
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 2: why he goes Bob, I ain't getting on no time machine.

1666
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:36,879
Speaker 2: And that's a true story. And you know he actually

1667
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:39,880
Speaker 2: missed a flight once and charted his own. There's a

1668
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 2: million stories on him. I don't want to get off

1669
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 2: on a tangent. But back to the NFL first impressions

1670
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 2: heading into week two. Listen, everybody's gaga about the Baltimore

1671
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:53,599
Speaker 2: Ravens every year that people predicce the same people predict

1672
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:56,639
Speaker 2: them to win the Super Bowl. Even got new Super Bowl.

1673
01:27:56,640 --> 01:28:00,599
Speaker 2: And I like Lamar Jackson. I have been defending him

1674
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 2: since he was a senior at Louisville. He's a far

1675
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:05,479
Speaker 2: better pocket passion that people give him credit for. He's

1676
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,360
Speaker 2: a prolific offensive talent. I don't know what happens to

1677
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 2: this team. When it matters most. And it happened to

1678
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 2: get him Sunday night in Buffalo to cough up that lead.

1679
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 2: You know, by the way they gave up forty points.

1680
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 2: So it has to do with I guess you know

1681
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:21,679
Speaker 2: the old joke about the boxer. I was worried about

1682
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 2: the way and he should have been worried about the

1683
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 2: way out. Well, the details were different, but the results

1684
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 2: were saying for Baltimore. The next gen stats had given

1685
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 2: the Ravens a ninety eight percent chance at winning about

1686
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 2: three and a half minutes to go in Buffalo Sunday night,

1687
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,720
Speaker 2: and Baltimore became the first team since two thousand to

1688
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 2: lose after leading by fifteen points with possession and under

1689
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 2: ten minutes in regulation. Those teams culatively in the last

1690
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:51,560
Speaker 2: twenty years had been fifty three. And oh that is concerning.

1691
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:57,080
Speaker 2: I don't care what anybody says. It's an impression. I

1692
01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 2: may have been wrong, very wrong about the New England Payots.

1693
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 2: We were total they were rebuilding and I thought they

1694
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 2: completely you know, the culture, the coach, the roster. Maybe

1695
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,040
Speaker 2: the roster's not as good as I thought. They looked

1696
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:13,639
Speaker 2: a lot more at the version they were last year.

1697
01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 2: Than what we had been told. The Patriots trailed in

1698
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:22,080
Speaker 2: every stack category against the Raiders, and I get that

1699
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:25,600
Speaker 2: the Raiders are better with Geno Smith, seemingly better with

1700
01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 2: Ashton genty, different energy with Pete Carroll, and everybody said, oh,

1701
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 2: it's a new attitude. They said the same damn thing

1702
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 2: when Derek Carr came back from injury a few years ago.

1703
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:39,719
Speaker 2: They said the same damn thing. When Josh mcdameels was hired.

1704
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:42,960
Speaker 2: They said the same damn thing with Antonio Pearce. I

1705
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 2: liked Antonio Pierce and now are seeing it with Pete Carroll. Okay,

1706
01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:52,519
Speaker 2: but the Raiders went up there to New England three

1707
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 2: thousand miles and owned the Patriots. Now the score was

1708
01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 2: twenty to thirteen. And I'm not saying the Raiders were

1709
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:02,960
Speaker 2: st Their run game only average two point three yards

1710
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 2: a rush, even though they have action genty. But I

1711
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:10,559
Speaker 2: like asking genty a lot. But you know, you can

1712
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:12,439
Speaker 2: go back and research the stats if you want, if

1713
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:15,559
Speaker 2: you've got nothing better to do. In this New England

1714
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 2: team heads to Miami and then they get to jump

1715
01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 2: into that high eighty degree heat in South Florida in September.

1716
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:25,000
Speaker 2: Miami's a really nice, cozy one and a half full disclosure,

1717
01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:27,200
Speaker 2: I've fired on Miami. I don't have any faith in

1718
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:30,240
Speaker 2: this new England team. What I saw last Sunday. I

1719
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:34,800
Speaker 2: can't see Mike Rabel fixing anytime soon, not in one

1720
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 2: week when you got to go on the road. It

1721
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 2: gainst the pissed off Miami team. And I will tell

1722
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:44,639
Speaker 2: you it's amazing how often that an NFL team could

1723
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 2: look just about the exact opposite of the way they

1724
01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 2: did Week one. Teams that look weak one look terrible,

1725
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they look completely different we two

1726
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 2: and vice versa. And make no mistake, I am not

1727
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:01,240
Speaker 2: I am not implying that the Miami Dolphins are going

1728
01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 2: anywhere this year. With all the respect, all the respect

1729
01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:07,040
Speaker 2: to my guy, aren't expander I love. It ain't in

1730
01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 2: the cards, and I don't wish any ill will on anyone.

1731
01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:12,360
Speaker 2: But I'd be very surprised if Mike mc daniels back

1732
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:16,840
Speaker 2: next year. Just an opinion, Just an opinion. I'm paid

1733
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:19,920
Speaker 2: to have opinions. I got it, okay. So that's that's

1734
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,000
Speaker 2: where we are on that. But I think in this

1735
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:26,400
Speaker 2: spot later today, in hot, humid Miami, in September, where

1736
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:30,680
Speaker 2: Northeast teams typically wilt. And if I'm not mistaken, I

1737
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:33,160
Speaker 2: think I think two was like five and zero against

1738
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:36,080
Speaker 2: the Patriot whatever. If we forget all that other mischig gouts,

1739
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:39,360
Speaker 2: I think in this spot in New England gets exposed

1740
01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:46,080
Speaker 2: once again. Seattle, Okay, no longer do they have dk

1741
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 2: metcalf or Tyler Lockett and Jackson Smith and Jebe is

1742
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:55,960
Speaker 2: now the lone receiving threat for the Seahawks. He had

1743
01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:59,920
Speaker 2: almost sixty percent of his targets, which let all Week

1744
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:02,880
Speaker 2: one receivers, but he also fumbled on a screen pass

1745
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:06,280
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. There were many one of many

1746
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:09,639
Speaker 2: miscues that the Seahawks had. They drop a home game

1747
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:12,640
Speaker 2: seventeen fourteen to the Niners. And I know that the

1748
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:15,559
Speaker 2: Seahawks were really trendy pick plus two and a half.

1749
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:16,679
Speaker 2: They didn't get my money.

1750
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:17,000
Speaker 8: Now.

1751
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:19,000
Speaker 2: Now, to be fair, I didn't bet on them forty

1752
01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:23,840
Speaker 2: nine ers either. Now they're a short underdog at Pittsburgh

1753
01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:28,360
Speaker 2: on Sunday, But I don't know. I liked their coach

1754
01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 2: a lot in Seattle. We'll see where they go. The

1755
01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:36,200
Speaker 2: Rams in Houston lockhorns Sunday, and I expect defense to

1756
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:39,320
Speaker 2: be the story. All right. I checked that the Rams

1757
01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:43,639
Speaker 2: in Houston locked horns last Sunday, and you've got CJS John,

1758
01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 2: you got Matt Stafford. One would have thought those two

1759
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 2: guys would have got the headlines, but it was actually

1760
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:53,960
Speaker 2: the respective defenses that showed out. They completely played smash

1761
01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:58,439
Speaker 2: mouth football the other way, smashing their opposition in the face,

1762
01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:02,639
Speaker 2: literally in the case of Pooqua Nakua, who was bleeding

1763
01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:05,840
Speaker 2: from his forehead. And he even admitted he took a

1764
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:07,479
Speaker 2: hell of a shot. He says, I don't think I've

1765
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 2: taken too many shots like that one the Rams. It

1766
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:12,599
Speaker 2: was a fist fight in the phone booth. The Rams

1767
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:16,639
Speaker 2: managed to escape fourteen to nine thanks to Pooka Nakoula,

1768
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:19,679
Speaker 2: who's a hell of a player. Ten catches one hundred

1769
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:23,719
Speaker 2: and thirty yards. So I look for that to continue.

1770
01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 2: I think Houston's defense might not be as good as

1771
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:29,000
Speaker 2: last year's, but it's good, and so are the Rams.

1772
01:33:29,120 --> 01:33:33,280
Speaker 2: Just an observation, all right, The aforementioned Dolphins, all right,

1773
01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:39,639
Speaker 2: it was a disaster last week. Let's call let's call

1774
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:43,680
Speaker 2: it for what it is. Miami's in trouble against the

1775
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:47,040
Speaker 2: Colts last week, and I know people like to you know,

1776
01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:50,920
Speaker 2: punk Daniel Jones. He's not that bad. I know he

1777
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 2: turned he was a turnover machine his first few years.

1778
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:56,240
Speaker 2: But he can play and he's accurate when he's on

1779
01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:58,800
Speaker 2: his game and sets his feet. He's actually got a

1780
01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:01,120
Speaker 2: road playoff win in his first three years in the league,

1781
01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:03,200
Speaker 2: which is more than Matt Stafford ad. We'll see if

1782
01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 2: he can follow up this week what he did last week.

1783
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:09,040
Speaker 2: There's no way to know. The NFL is a week

1784
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 2: to week league, but I can tell you last week

1785
01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 2: that Dolphins defense, they allowed scores on literally every Colt's possession,

1786
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:20,559
Speaker 2: literally every possession, and the first four drives for Mike

1787
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:23,439
Speaker 2: mcdanielin and the Dolphins or offense. Here's what they were.

1788
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 2: An interception, all humble, a punt, an interception. As I said,

1789
01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:33,360
Speaker 2: I am not so sure Daniel Jones will be living

1790
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:36,559
Speaker 2: in Miami coaching the Dolphins. Check that. Try that again,

1791
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:40,320
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel in twenty twenty six. Don't want to cast

1792
01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:44,400
Speaker 2: his persions, but at least for Sunday, I think I

1793
01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 2: think Miami gets it done. I think he gets it done.

1794
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:54,080
Speaker 2: Coming up, we continue on with more NFL fodder, and

1818
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:16,519

1825
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:42,360
Speaker 2: sports story. You may or may not recall that last

1826
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:46,560
Speaker 2: week the sports world stood up and took pretty significant

1827
01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:49,040
Speaker 2: notice for those who were paying attention, when Pablo Tory

1828
01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 2: broke the news that Kawhi Leonard and Clippers owner Steve

1829
01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 2: Baumer might have circumvented the NBA salary cap via not

1830
01:36:57,080 --> 01:37:00,760
Speaker 2: show marketing Jotford Leonard, which allegedly paid him twenty eight

1831
01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,680
Speaker 2: million dollars forty eight million if you count stock options

1832
01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:10,800
Speaker 2: to do nothing. Now. After that died down, Balmer and

1833
01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:14,160
Speaker 2: the Clippers issued pretty staunch denials. But now the NBA

1834
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:16,840
Speaker 2: has announced an investigation. You haven't heard a hell of

1835
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:20,240
Speaker 2: a lot since, and I'm not really sure how the

1836
01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 2: other owners feel about this, believe it or not. Mark

1837
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:26,720
Speaker 2: Cuban actually came out publicly. I think he was kind

1838
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:30,439
Speaker 2: of on Balmer's side, So I'm not implying there's any

1839
01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:32,800
Speaker 2: animosity or anything like that. I don't know. We just

1840
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:35,880
Speaker 2: don't know a lot. But there is an investigation, and

1841
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:39,760
Speaker 2: if the investigation finds guilt, what could the punishment be?

1842
01:37:40,120 --> 01:37:43,599
Speaker 2: All Right, that's really the question, and we'll get over this.

1843
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:45,679
Speaker 2: We'll do more of this with Mark Medina next week.

1844
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 2: But it's in the CBA Article thirteen, section three. The NBA,

1845
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 2: in theory, could find the clippers of millions of dollars

1846
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:57,080
Speaker 2: that could make them forfeit draft picks and even void

1847
01:37:57,160 --> 01:38:00,720
Speaker 2: Leonard's contract. It could get very ugly if you look

1848
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 2: up what happened to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Joe Smith,

1849
01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:09,519
Speaker 2: a player out of Maryland about twenty five years ago. Okay,

1850
01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:12,040
Speaker 2: some people think the NBA should really lay down the

1851
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:15,080
Speaker 2: hammer or if the allegations are proven too. I don't

1852
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:18,880
Speaker 2: have any idea where this is going. I know that

1853
01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:23,400
Speaker 2: it's there. It is a story. And in the last

1854
01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:26,040
Speaker 2: week or so or ten days since this bomb show

1855
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 2: came out, by the way, the NBA has not only

1856
01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:34,599
Speaker 2: launched an investigation, they've even hired an external law firm. Now,

1857
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:38,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how much appetite they have to have

1858
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:41,640
Speaker 2: this become this big stand on the NBA, but the

1859
01:38:41,680 --> 01:38:44,000
Speaker 2: sports world is awaiting some kind of verdict, okay. And

1860
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:47,599
Speaker 2: there were even some additional details who came out last

1861
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 2: week about the Clippers and in the relationship with this

1862
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 2: company Aspiration, which is now the bankrupt firm and a

1863
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:58,639
Speaker 2: sustainability firm that allegedly paid Kawhi Leonard as well as

1864
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:01,240
Speaker 2: Leonard in his camp prior dealings when you still a

1865
01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:05,920
Speaker 2: member of the Toronto Raptors. Even ESPN's Ramona Shelburne has

1866
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:09,599
Speaker 2: checked in. She conducted the first public interview with Steve

1867
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:13,840
Speaker 2: Bomber that followed Pabla Tory's report, and then this last

1868
01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:18,439
Speaker 2: Monday on NBA today she said that actually, I believe

1869
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 2: it was reported that Aspiration there they had actually bid

1870
01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:24,840
Speaker 2: almost double what in two it paid for the naming

1871
01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:28,919
Speaker 2: rights the Clippers, shiny new toy that arena, the Intuit

1872
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:30,799
Speaker 2: doma in to it. As you know, it's a financial

1873
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:33,840
Speaker 2: software company. They're the ones that make turbo attacks and

1874
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:36,439
Speaker 2: quick books. They paid five hundred and fifty million for

1875
01:39:36,479 --> 01:39:40,040
Speaker 2: the arena and the Clippers had their first season this

1876
01:39:40,479 --> 01:39:44,960
Speaker 2: past season. Now, Shelburn said that Balmer, who accorded to

1877
01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:49,200
Speaker 2: tours report, invested fifty million in Aspiration, explaining the Clippers

1878
01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:52,880
Speaker 2: chosen to it because it was a long standing company.

1879
01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:56,400
Speaker 2: But the Clippers also said that they had had sponsorship

1880
01:39:56,439 --> 01:39:59,439
Speaker 2: deals with Aspiration for two seasons back in twenty one,

1881
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 2: twenty two, twenty twenty three. But see that gives you

1882
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:04,800
Speaker 2: an indication of the kind of money the Aspiration that

1883
01:40:04,920 --> 01:40:08,200
Speaker 2: at least at one point was throwing around.

1884
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 5: Now.

1885
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:11,880
Speaker 2: The Clippers also said in a statement following a report

1886
01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:16,200
Speaker 2: that well, neither the team nor Balmer quote had any

1887
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:20,880
Speaker 2: oversight of the endorsement deal Leonard made with Aspiration and Tory.

1888
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:26,640
Speaker 2: Pablo Torre said he actually spoke to seven former Aspiration

1889
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:31,000
Speaker 2: employees in his report, one source who consented to the

1890
01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 2: interview being interviewed. But it was one of those deals

1891
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:37,120
Speaker 2: where they kind of distort your voice, you know. He

1892
01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:39,439
Speaker 2: said that Leonard's deal with the company was so the

1893
01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:44,160
Speaker 2: Clippers could circumvent the NBA salary camp. Now, again, I

1894
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,639
Speaker 2: have not seen any hard evidence. I am not taking sides.

1895
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:51,439
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that on the face of it, one

1896
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:54,559
Speaker 2: could surmise where they're smoke, there's fire, but we don't know.

1897
01:40:55,800 --> 01:40:59,559
Speaker 2: In an interview with Ramona Schouburn, Steve Balmer, the owner

1898
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 2: of The Clipper, pointed the fingered Aspiration, saying, quote, they

1899
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 2: conned him. This was Balmer's quote. I made an investment

1900
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:10,360
Speaker 2: in these guys thinking it was on the up and up,

1901
01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:13,599
Speaker 2: and they conned me. At this stage, I have no

1902
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:17,200
Speaker 2: ability to predict why they might have done anything they did,

1903
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:22,479
Speaker 2: let alone the specific contract with Kawhi, Balmer said. Now

1904
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:26,679
Speaker 2: Boston Sports Journal has also checked in, and they reported

1905
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:30,320
Speaker 2: last week that Aspiration paid an additional twenty million to

1906
01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:33,639
Speaker 2: Leonard in shares of the company, which would have brought

1907
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 2: the total endorsement deal to forty eight million, just a

1908
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:42,680
Speaker 2: two million shy of Bamber's investment. By the way, there

1909
01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:45,360
Speaker 2: may be some precedents here. If you really want to

1910
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:47,679
Speaker 2: get deep into the weeds, they go back to twenty nineteen,

1911
01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 2: and there have been some reports in Surface that implied

1912
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 2: that Leonard's uncle, Dennis Robertson, who also represented We represents Kawhi.

1913
01:41:56,960 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 2: Leonard and lots of business deals, had several demands for

1914
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:04,280
Speaker 2: Kawhi services, including part ownership, which is not allowed in

1915
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:07,920
Speaker 2: the NBA CBA and on Tuesday, the Trinal Star Reporter

1916
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,920
Speaker 2: that one of the requests at the time was for

1917
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:13,479
Speaker 2: the Raptors to match at least ten million annually in

1918
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:18,240
Speaker 2: additional SPONSOROUSIP income. So stay tuned because this story has

1919
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:21,719
Speaker 2: layers and it has legs. Where it goes nobody knows,

1920
01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:24,320
Speaker 2: but there are a lot of intrepid reporters doing a

1921
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:27,800
Speaker 2: lot of work on this, so it's something to watch,

1922
01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:30,800
Speaker 2: especially with the NBA season around the corner. What's all

1923
01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:33,040
Speaker 2: say around the corner is you got to set your

1924
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:41,640
Speaker 2: fantasy lineups, and so it's time for our Fantasy Files.

1925
01:42:41,640 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 24: Fantasy Files with Brandon Deutsch, your go to fantasy football segment.

1926
01:42:47,720 --> 01:42:49,320
Speaker 5: You got one going when.

1927
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:53,680
Speaker 11: Welcome to Fantasy Files. This is the week that we

1928
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 11: all need to win. If you're zero and one, you

1929
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:57,639
Speaker 11: need to get to one in one and if you're

1930
01:42:57,680 --> 01:42:59,720
Speaker 11: one to oh, you need to get to two and oh.

1931
01:42:59,800 --> 01:43:01,519
Speaker 11: That's how I see it, and we like to win

1932
01:43:01,560 --> 01:43:04,120
Speaker 11: every week. But I know people have multiple teams and

1933
01:43:04,120 --> 01:43:06,240
Speaker 11: if you didn't win with all your teams, I'm going.

1934
01:43:06,240 --> 01:43:07,400
Speaker 12: To help you with that right now.

1935
01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:09,519
Speaker 11: In the Bernie Frado Show with Fantasy Files, we'll be

1936
01:43:09,560 --> 01:43:13,280
Speaker 11: doing six start suggestions in The first guy that I

1937
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:15,519
Speaker 11: love this week is Calvin Ridley against the Rams. Now,

1938
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:17,519
Speaker 11: Colvin Ridley didn't have a great week last week, and

1939
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:19,680
Speaker 11: it was against the Broncos, who, in my opinion, have

1940
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:22,240
Speaker 11: a better defense than the Rams. I think they have

1941
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:25,320
Speaker 11: more guys in the secondary. I don't think. I know

1942
01:43:25,439 --> 01:43:28,639
Speaker 11: they have more guys in the secondary, and the Rams

1943
01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:30,639
Speaker 11: have a great defensive line. We know that it makes

1944
01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:34,639
Speaker 11: their secondary look more than pedestrian, which it probably is. However,

1945
01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:37,439
Speaker 11: I do think Ridley, with the drop issues last week,

1946
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:40,360
Speaker 11: him having another week of practice with cam Ward so

1947
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:42,240
Speaker 11: receivers dropped a lot of passes. I think it's gonna

1948
01:43:42,240 --> 01:43:44,479
Speaker 11: be a closer game. I think that Calvin Ridley is

1949
01:43:44,520 --> 01:43:47,480
Speaker 11: a start this week, and I would sit JK. Dobbins

1950
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:50,719
Speaker 11: of the Denver Broncos against the Colts. R J. Harvey

1951
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:53,080
Speaker 11: is going to get more touches this week after that

1952
01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:55,679
Speaker 11: fifty yard run. Now, Dobbins did get the touchdown which

1953
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:58,360
Speaker 11: salvaged his fantasy day last week, but I just don't

1954
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:00,879
Speaker 11: expect much consistency from Dobbins.

1955
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:02,160
Speaker 12: I don't r J.

1956
01:44:02,280 --> 01:44:04,200
Speaker 11: Harvey is the better running back. They have a great

1957
01:44:04,200 --> 01:44:06,639
Speaker 11: offensive line to whoever's at running back's gonna get a touchdown.

1958
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:08,639
Speaker 11: And I do think that this is a better matchup

1959
01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:11,600
Speaker 11: for them because they are playing Indianapolis Colts, who I

1960
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 11: still think aren't that good. They just played the Dolphins

1961
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:17,200
Speaker 11: in Week one. Make sure to start Ricky Pearsall again

1962
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:20,240
Speaker 11: against the Saints. Mac Jones at quarterback not a big

1963
01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:23,880
Speaker 11: difference for In fact, mac Jones eighteen point six fantasy

1964
01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:26,840
Speaker 11: point average for Brian Thomas Junior when mac Jones was

1965
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:29,959
Speaker 11: that quarterback last season, Guess what his fantasy point average

1966
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:34,479
Speaker 11: was with Trevor Lawrence less than fourteen. So mac Jones

1967
01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:37,360
Speaker 11: can support wide receiver ones in an offense. He did

1968
01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:40,040
Speaker 11: it multiple times last season. He did it in New England,

1969
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 11: and he's going to do it in San Francisco. Or remember,

1970
01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:45,000
Speaker 11: Kyle Shanahan can make any quarterback look good. Mac Jones

1971
01:44:45,080 --> 01:44:47,360
Speaker 11: kind of fits his system to a t. That's why

1972
01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:50,040
Speaker 11: he wanted him coming out of Alabama. I think Ricky

1973
01:44:50,080 --> 01:44:52,760
Speaker 11: Piersall after that four catch hundred yard performs. Remember I

1974
01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:54,840
Speaker 11: told you guys to start him last week, he dominated.

1975
01:44:54,880 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 11: I think he's in dominated against the Saints as well.

1976
01:44:57,240 --> 01:44:58,519
Speaker 11: Now I do think it's going to have to be

1977
01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 11: early because I think the Niners will be up this

1978
01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 11: entire game, and they will use Christian McCaffrey a lot

1979
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:05,840
Speaker 11: in Brian Robinson Junior, and probably even Jordan James you'll

1980
01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:07,639
Speaker 11: see a little bit in this game as well running

1981
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:10,519
Speaker 11: the football. The Saints, on the other hand, sit Alvin

1982
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:13,840
Speaker 11: Kamara and Chris Olave. Neither are going to do much

1983
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 11: of anything. I am more confident about Alvin Kamara not

1984
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,479
Speaker 11: doing anything. Great player, don't get me wrong. The only

1985
01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:21,679
Speaker 11: way he's productive is if he gets six or seven

1986
01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 11: catches and it's in a PPR league because or a touchdown, right,

1987
01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:26,960
Speaker 11: he's gonna get maybe.

1988
01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:27,799
Speaker 12: Two yards per carry.

1989
01:45:28,040 --> 01:45:32,600
Speaker 11: That Robert salle led forty nine Ers defense is absolutely amazing.

1990
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:34,280
Speaker 11: It's incredible, and it's gonna be one of the best

1991
01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:37,040
Speaker 11: defensive lines in the league in terms of stopping the run.

1992
01:45:37,080 --> 01:45:38,639
Speaker 11: Now they have to get better with the pass rush,

1993
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:40,920
Speaker 11: but that's a separate story. You have Spencer Rawler, who's

1994
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:44,360
Speaker 11: a radic back there and doesn't have much experience in

1995
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:47,280
Speaker 11: the NFL. I think the Niners win big. I think

1996
01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:49,679
Speaker 11: Ricky Piersal does a good job. I don't think Chris

1997
01:45:49,720 --> 01:45:53,560
Speaker 11: o'lave does much of anything because the Niners corners are underrated.

1998
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:56,240
Speaker 11: You Olave had a decent week last week, but he

1999
01:45:56,280 --> 01:45:58,240
Speaker 11: didn't have a great week, and I just don't see

2000
01:45:58,240 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 11: them even if they're down and they have to chuck

2001
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:02,600
Speaker 11: balls down the field, I think it's gonna be more

2002
01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:05,480
Speaker 11: of a Juwan Johnson out there, you know, pass the linebackers,

2003
01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:09,639
Speaker 11: intermediate throws, whereas Chris Olave, you know the slot they.

2004
01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:10,200
Speaker 2: Can use him.

2005
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:12,160
Speaker 11: I don't think it's gonna be downfield to Chris o'lave.

2006
01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:13,920
Speaker 11: I think it's gonna be more of a Juwan Johnson

2007
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,080
Speaker 11: day if anything, if they're down the entire game, make

2008
01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:19,640
Speaker 11: sure to start Travis Etn Junior. Travis Etn Junior was

2009
01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 11: an excellent late round pick. And I told you guys

2010
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:24,519
Speaker 11: that Travis Etn was a great pick and he turned

2011
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:27,320
Speaker 11: out to be excellent that they traded Tank Bigsby. That's

2012
01:46:27,320 --> 01:46:30,280
Speaker 11: how good he was. Sixteen for one forty three week

2013
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:32,759
Speaker 11: one eighteen point six Fantasy points. And you want a touchdown,

2014
01:46:32,920 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 11: I think you can get one this week against the Bengals.

2015
01:46:35,080 --> 01:46:37,880
Speaker 11: That's an atrocious defense. Give me Travis Etn as a

2016
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:40,760
Speaker 11: locket in start over Guys like Jonathan Taylor, who has

2017
01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:42,680
Speaker 11: a tougher matchup going up against the Broncos. And they're

2018
01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 11: not saying Jonathan Taylor. I'm just saying I would rank

2019
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:48,439
Speaker 11: ETN higher than a guy like Jonathan Taylor simply because

2020
01:46:48,479 --> 01:46:51,599
Speaker 11: of the matchup. And make sure that you are sitting

2021
01:46:51,680 --> 01:46:54,880
Speaker 11: Davante Adams against the Tennessee Titans. DeVante Adams didn't do

2022
01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:57,599
Speaker 11: much last week, but I don't think he does much

2023
01:46:57,640 --> 01:47:01,719
Speaker 11: against an underrated Tennessee defense. Buku Nakua is the focal

2024
01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:03,559
Speaker 11: point of this offense. The Rams couldn't do much at

2025
01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:06,479
Speaker 11: anything against Houston, who granted has in my opinion, a

2026
01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:08,639
Speaker 11: slightly better defense in Tennessee, but it's not like it's

2027
01:47:08,640 --> 01:47:12,439
Speaker 11: a huge drop off. I really think that the Rams

2028
01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:14,599
Speaker 11: won't be able to score more than twenty one points

2029
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:15,000
Speaker 11: in this game.

2030
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:15,839
Speaker 12: It'll be closer.

2031
01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:18,280
Speaker 11: I think Pouka is the only guy that I can

2032
01:47:18,400 --> 01:47:21,640
Speaker 11: trust to go and give me twenty fantasy points in

2033
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:23,800
Speaker 11: this game. DeVante is going to be capped between five

2034
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:26,679
Speaker 11: to fifteen max, and I think it's more like five

2035
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:29,360
Speaker 11: to ten. Make sure to start Jordan Mason and sit

2036
01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:32,200
Speaker 11: Aaron Jones. And here's why. Jordan Mason fifteen for sixty

2037
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:34,960
Speaker 11: nine last week on the ground they were down, so

2038
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:37,439
Speaker 11: they passed more. Aaron Jones is the pass catching back,

2039
01:47:37,600 --> 01:47:39,800
Speaker 11: which is why he was targeted more and it got

2040
01:47:39,840 --> 01:47:41,920
Speaker 11: that touchdown. The Vikings are going to be ahead in

2041
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:44,759
Speaker 11: this game against Atlanta. Mason will get a rushing touchdown

2042
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:47,280
Speaker 11: and he will do damage on the ground. So make

2043
01:47:47,320 --> 01:47:50,719
Speaker 11: sure to start Jordan Mason and actually sit Aaron Jones

2044
01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:53,080
Speaker 11: in that matchup. And I got one more for you

2045
01:47:53,120 --> 01:47:56,679
Speaker 11: guys right now to end the day. Sit Cedric Tillman

2046
01:47:56,680 --> 01:47:59,639
Speaker 11: against Baltimore. Hate the matchup, and make sure to keep starting.

2047
01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:02,799
Speaker 11: Like I said said last week, a Mechegg Buka against Houston.

2048
01:48:03,080 --> 01:48:05,679
Speaker 11: He was insane twenty four Fantasy points last week. Well

2049
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:08,840
Speaker 11: that's it for Fantasy Files on this week. Go win

2050
01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:11,360
Speaker 11: NFL Week two. I'll see you back next week on

2051
01:48:11,479 --> 01:48:15,080
Speaker 11: the Bernie Prouto Show on Brandandwitch.

2052
01:48:14,200 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 2: And we'll do this every Sunday morning one thirty am Pacific,

2053
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:22,760
Speaker 2: four thirty am Eastern. I do remember he did like

2054
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:26,240
Speaker 2: Ricky Pearsall a lot last week. I love the circle

2055
01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:29,559
Speaker 2: of life aspect of Mac Jones starting for the forty

2056
01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:32,160
Speaker 2: nine ers. There was that hullabaloo back in twenty twenty one.

2057
01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:34,839
Speaker 2: Who would they draft through overall? Would it be mac Jones,

2058
01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:38,240
Speaker 2: Would it be Trey Lance? They drafted Trey Lance. How

2059
01:48:38,240 --> 01:48:40,200
Speaker 2: did that work out for you? By the way, what

2060
01:48:40,280 --> 01:48:44,000
Speaker 2: a shock. DeVante Adams didn't do much and I don't

2061
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:47,599
Speaker 2: know what he'll do Sundays. That's gonna be a fist

2062
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:50,280
Speaker 2: fight in a phone booth at Tennessee. I do think

2063
01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:53,760
Speaker 2: Tennessee defense is it's pretty good. And then Rams have

2064
01:48:53,840 --> 01:48:57,960
Speaker 2: to also go on the road. Coming up. You know,

2065
01:48:58,080 --> 01:49:01,040
Speaker 2: since the league realigned all their divisions in twenty oh two,

2066
01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:05,000
Speaker 2: there have been twenty nine teams in that time span

2067
01:49:05,080 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 2: that have gone from worst to first in their division.

2068
01:49:07,040 --> 01:49:09,759
Speaker 2: Other eight divisions, and there are eight teams who finished

2069
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 2: last last year. Who is most likely to go from

2070
01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:18,080
Speaker 2: worst to first? Well, after analysis and after watching Week one,

2071
01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:21,880
Speaker 2: it might be nobody. I'll give you my thoughts. Coming up.

2072
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frattle. We are company a line from the

2073
01:49:24,200 --> 01:49:26,879
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Studios here in Las Vegas.

2074
01:49:27,320 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 2: Keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show

2075
01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:32,680
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. All right, we are back on

2076
01:49:32,720 --> 01:49:36,040
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show. Fox Sports Radio Company line from

2077
01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:40,599
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas studios here of Fox Sports Radio takeap

2078
01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:46,080
Speaker 2: to three in Pacific, six am Eastern. Another full NFL

2079
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:51,840
Speaker 2: Sunday awaits which begs the question might any team go

2080
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:56,439
Speaker 2: from worst to first? THO there are eight divisions, so

2081
01:49:56,520 --> 01:50:00,679
Speaker 2: eight teams finished last last year Cleveland, New Orleans, Tennessee,

2082
01:50:00,840 --> 01:50:03,560
Speaker 2: the New York Giants, the Raiders, the Bears, the Patriots,

2083
01:50:03,560 --> 01:50:06,840
Speaker 2: and the forty nine Ers. And as I said earlier,

2084
01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:12,000
Speaker 2: since twenty oh two, when the divisions realigned, it's happened

2085
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:14,639
Speaker 2: every year except once, I believe in a couple of years,

2086
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:16,200
Speaker 2: there have been two teams that have done it. A

2087
01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:20,080
Speaker 2: total of twenty nine teams have gone from worse to

2088
01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:27,040
Speaker 2: first since twenty oh two. But after watching what happened

2089
01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:30,559
Speaker 2: last week, I'm of the opinion we may not get

2090
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:32,720
Speaker 2: one this year. Let me start with the forty nine Ers,

2091
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:36,320
Speaker 2: who may have been the most likely choice to go

2092
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:39,160
Speaker 2: from worse diverse in their division. They were six to eleven.

2093
01:50:39,439 --> 01:50:41,840
Speaker 2: Then the Las Vegas odds have been plus one fifty five,

2094
01:50:41,880 --> 01:50:44,559
Speaker 2: the shortest odds by far. I mean, if you're really

2095
01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:47,040
Speaker 2: feeling safty, bet the Browns. They're thirty five to one.

2096
01:50:47,240 --> 01:50:49,839
Speaker 2: But I'll get to that in a minute. The Niners

2097
01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:52,400
Speaker 2: have the easiest schedule. I see that in their quotes,

2098
01:50:52,439 --> 01:50:56,000
Speaker 2: because there's nothing easy in the NFL. But based on

2099
01:50:56,080 --> 01:50:59,920
Speaker 2: the teams they play in one lost records last year,

2100
01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:01,920
Speaker 2: rejections this year, they have the easiest record. They are

2101
01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:04,919
Speaker 2: want to zero. They had to the Saints on Sunday.

2102
01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:07,679
Speaker 2: Then I gave some good reasons last week why they might.

2103
01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:12,240
Speaker 2: But now they're already dealing with injuries again. They're just

2104
01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:14,840
Speaker 2: snake back. They're gonna need brock Party to do this.

2105
01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:17,200
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not down on Mac Jones, like a

2106
01:51:17,240 --> 01:51:23,439
Speaker 2: lot of people, are a pretty good quarterback, but I

2107
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:26,200
Speaker 2: don't know that Mac Jones helps you win that division.

2108
01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:29,760
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe not. It's you're gonna hear from Arizona. I

2109
01:51:29,800 --> 01:51:32,840
Speaker 2: told you, man, Arizona's gonna be good. Seattle will be

2110
01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:37,280
Speaker 2: a dogfight. D Rams can they make I just don't

2111
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:40,479
Speaker 2: see it. They lost. You know, they got Robert Salad,

2112
01:51:40,560 --> 01:51:44,960
Speaker 2: Nick Bosa and Fred Warner and players, but I just can't.

2113
01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:47,600
Speaker 2: I can't feel that they'll do it. And so the

2114
01:51:47,680 --> 01:51:50,040
Speaker 2: second most likely team, based on the ads in Vegas

2115
01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:54,559
Speaker 2: for the New England Patriots plus five point fifty again,

2116
01:51:54,640 --> 01:52:00,760
Speaker 2: Mike rabel revamped roster culture Drake May who did not

2117
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:05,040
Speaker 2: look good last week. The Patriots also have the easiest schedule,

2118
01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:08,760
Speaker 2: just in the AFC. The last time the Patriots went

2119
01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:11,599
Speaker 2: from worse to first were Tom Brady's first two seasons

2120
01:52:11,680 --> 01:52:14,920
Speaker 2: with the team. Okay, they were five and eleven. The

2121
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:17,679
Speaker 2: year before. One year later, the legend of Brady was born.

2122
01:52:18,479 --> 01:52:20,320
Speaker 2: He went to a first place finish in an eventual

2123
01:52:20,400 --> 01:52:23,120
Speaker 2: winning the Super Bowl over the Rams. Brady ain't walking

2124
01:52:23,160 --> 01:52:27,000
Speaker 2: through that door. And based on what I saw, that

2125
01:52:27,120 --> 01:52:30,000
Speaker 2: roster might not be as good as I thought. Well,

2126
01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:33,920
Speaker 2: the team with the third best odds with Chicago Bears,

2127
01:52:33,960 --> 01:52:36,680
Speaker 2: you cannot tell me what you saw last week. And

2128
01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:39,400
Speaker 2: by the way, at the end of the show, I'm

2129
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:41,800
Speaker 2: gonna do a little feature. Is it too early to panic? No,

2130
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:45,320
Speaker 2: And it's not too early to panic on this Caleb

2131
01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:48,519
Speaker 2: Williams Ben Jonson relationship. And I'm sticking to my guns.

2132
01:52:48,520 --> 01:52:50,160
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, and I like Ben Johnson.

2133
01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:53,320
Speaker 2: Oh and not for nothing. Let me just I'm spitballing here.

2134
01:52:54,240 --> 01:52:56,240
Speaker 2: Of all the teams on this list that I mentioned,

2135
01:52:56,240 --> 01:52:58,479
Speaker 2: the Bears were the most recent one to go from

2136
01:52:59,040 --> 01:53:02,600
Speaker 2: worse to first after finishing five and eleven and twenty seventeen,

2137
01:53:03,200 --> 01:53:06,400
Speaker 2: they came back. They won the NFC North in twenty

2138
01:53:06,439 --> 01:53:09,080
Speaker 2: eighteen with a twelve and four record, sixteen game scheduled

2139
01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:11,479
Speaker 2: in they even would have won a game in the playoffs,

2140
01:53:11,520 --> 01:53:13,680
Speaker 2: said they not kind of double doint kicker miss a

2141
01:53:13,680 --> 01:53:16,960
Speaker 2: field goal and guess who the quarterback was. Mitch Trubisky

2142
01:53:17,200 --> 01:53:19,479
Speaker 2: completed sixty seven percent of his passes, went to the

2143
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:22,080
Speaker 2: playoffs two or three years, twenty five and sixties. It

2144
01:53:22,120 --> 01:53:24,120
Speaker 2: started up, but now he wasn't good enough. I don't

2145
01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:26,120
Speaker 2: I get it. Mitch wasn't going to get you the

2146
01:53:26,160 --> 01:53:30,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowl? But what have you done since? Ben Johnson,

2147
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:35,040
Speaker 2: not for nothing, is already under fire after one game.

2148
01:53:36,120 --> 01:53:41,360
Speaker 2: He made a fairly I call in the In the

2149
01:53:41,479 --> 01:53:44,880
Speaker 2: week one loss Monday Night to Minnesota in which the

2150
01:53:44,920 --> 01:53:49,519
Speaker 2: Bears led for about three quarters at Soldier Field, the

2151
01:53:49,600 --> 01:53:57,880
Speaker 2: Bears were hopefully still trying to win the game. They

2152
01:53:57,880 --> 01:53:59,559
Speaker 2: got a touchdown at the two o two mark at

2153
01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:02,440
Speaker 2: the fourth order, and all of a sudden, the deficits

2154
01:54:02,479 --> 01:54:08,559
Speaker 2: twenty seven to twenty four. So the big mistake that's

2155
01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:12,479
Speaker 2: being massively questioned by the Peanut gallery was when their

2156
01:54:12,560 --> 01:54:15,519
Speaker 2: kicker Caro Santos, on the ensuing kickoff, kicked the ball

2157
01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:18,719
Speaker 2: into the hands of ty Chandler, who was the Vikings

2158
01:54:18,800 --> 01:54:21,479
Speaker 2: return specialist. He was waiting in the end zone. He

2159
01:54:21,560 --> 01:54:25,839
Speaker 2: looked at coach Kevin O'Connell, who's a tremendous coach. Connall.

2160
01:54:26,600 --> 01:54:29,360
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell signaled take the ball out of the end

2161
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:32,600
Speaker 2: zone rather than neil for a touchback. What that did

2162
01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:34,840
Speaker 2: was eat up clock and allowed Minnesota to take the

2163
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:38,160
Speaker 2: game to the two minute warning. That hurt the Bears,

2164
01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:41,840
Speaker 2: well never know how much, but they didn't have the

2165
01:54:41,880 --> 01:54:44,000
Speaker 2: two minute warning on their side after that point. And

2166
01:54:44,040 --> 01:54:47,040
Speaker 2: there's a reason Kevin O'Connell was Coach of the Year.

2167
01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:50,400
Speaker 2: Chicago had one time out remaining at that point. Several

2168
01:54:50,440 --> 01:54:54,879
Speaker 2: fans and people questioned why didn't Ben Johnson half Santos

2169
01:54:54,960 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 2: kicked the ball out of bounds for a five yard

2170
01:54:57,520 --> 01:55:01,920
Speaker 2: penalty instead. No one really understood that decision. It makes

2171
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:04,360
Speaker 2: zero sense, and that's why you're paid the big bucks.

2172
01:55:04,720 --> 01:55:08,560
Speaker 2: They already had all kinds of trouble with situational football

2173
01:55:08,920 --> 01:55:13,240
Speaker 2: with Matt Eberflus last year. The Bears not kicking that

2174
01:55:13,320 --> 01:55:16,080
Speaker 2: ball out of bounds. Here's a perfect summation of the

2175
01:55:16,120 --> 01:55:19,160
Speaker 2: second half where they just said, we're going to find

2176
01:55:19,160 --> 01:55:22,320
Speaker 2: a way not to win this game, will grab defeat

2177
01:55:22,360 --> 01:55:25,240
Speaker 2: out of the jars of victory, and the Vikings would

2178
01:55:25,240 --> 01:55:28,280
Speaker 2: have had better field position theoretically in such a scenario,

2179
01:55:28,680 --> 01:55:30,960
Speaker 2: but the Bears would have benefited more from stopping the

2180
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:34,160
Speaker 2: clock and fourteen Minnesota to start its strive before the

2181
01:55:34,160 --> 01:55:38,480
Speaker 2: two minute warning. Interestingly enough, the Bears were able to

2182
01:55:38,520 --> 01:55:41,840
Speaker 2: get to three and out they needed. However, because of that,

2183
01:55:42,040 --> 01:55:45,720
Speaker 2: Chicago had just sixteen seconds to score, which was not enough.

2184
01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:53,760
Speaker 2: So already the season's just barely starting. Ben Johnson already

2185
01:55:53,800 --> 01:55:57,520
Speaker 2: being scrutinized, and for good reason, and for good reason,

2186
01:55:58,880 --> 01:56:03,920
Speaker 2: so I cannot in good conscience suggest or imply that

2187
01:56:04,080 --> 01:56:06,560
Speaker 2: the Bears would be the team to win that division

2188
01:56:06,600 --> 01:56:08,840
Speaker 2: when you got the Vikings and the Lions in there. Wait,

2189
01:56:08,880 --> 01:56:13,720
Speaker 2: that's call them as I see them. That leaves the

2190
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:16,080
Speaker 2: team with the next best obs at twelve to one,

2191
01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:21,360
Speaker 2: your Las Vegas Raiders, who everybody's gaga about after that

2192
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 2: first performance at New England. Well, it was a good game,

2193
01:56:26,640 --> 01:56:29,120
Speaker 2: and the Raiders, by the way, have never gone worse

2194
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:33,560
Speaker 2: to first and it's based on how stacked the AFC

2195
01:56:33,600 --> 01:56:36,680
Speaker 2: West is this year. It's going to be very tough

2196
01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:41,680
Speaker 2: to end that drought in my opinion. However, Pete Carroll,

2197
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:46,040
Speaker 2: there's hope, Hope springs eternal. In his fourteen years in Seattle,

2198
01:56:46,040 --> 01:56:48,960
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll had eleven winning seasons, went to the playoffs

2199
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:54,120
Speaker 2: ten times. So do the Raiders have what it takes

2200
01:56:54,640 --> 01:56:58,680
Speaker 2: to make that quantum lead jump. I don't think so.

2201
01:56:58,960 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 2: I just don't. And I know they are a trendy

2202
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:04,680
Speaker 2: betting pick again this week catching three and a half.

2203
01:57:04,680 --> 01:57:09,000
Speaker 2: The Chargers come to town. We don't know, you know,

2204
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:11,640
Speaker 2: if they got to sleep on their flight back to

2205
01:57:11,680 --> 01:57:15,560
Speaker 2: Brazil or what that kind of lengthy travel might affect

2206
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:19,120
Speaker 2: how or if it affects them. You just don't know.

2207
01:57:19,320 --> 01:57:22,760
Speaker 2: But I do know this. You compare the two rosters

2208
01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:27,680
Speaker 2: and you tell me who you'd rather have. So that's

2209
01:57:27,720 --> 01:57:31,120
Speaker 2: a tough game Monday night, Chargers laying three and a half.

2210
01:57:31,160 --> 01:57:35,600
Speaker 2: The Raiders are in fact a trendy pick, and they

2211
01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:40,320
Speaker 2: may cover and they could win out right, but that's

2212
01:57:40,720 --> 01:57:42,840
Speaker 2: you know, that's one thing, and it's a quantum leak

2213
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:46,720
Speaker 2: to have to you know, tussle with Kansas City twice,

2214
01:57:46,760 --> 01:57:50,240
Speaker 2: the Chargers twice, in Denver twice. I can't. I don't

2215
01:57:50,240 --> 01:57:52,200
Speaker 2: feel it's the Raiders, which leaves the New York Giants

2216
01:57:52,240 --> 01:57:57,720
Speaker 2: to twenty two to one. Now, the Giants are supposed

2217
01:57:57,760 --> 01:58:01,280
Speaker 2: to be improved, and I think they are improved, but

2218
01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:03,839
Speaker 2: I don't think they're as good as Philadelphia or Washington.

2219
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:06,320
Speaker 2: May not even be as good as Dallas. We'll find

2220
01:58:06,320 --> 01:58:12,440
Speaker 2: that out on Sunday. They'll get a test. Yes, there's

2221
01:58:12,480 --> 01:58:15,000
Speaker 2: an odd stat that the Giants became only the eight

2222
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:17,879
Speaker 2: team since two thousand and nine do outscore their preseason

2223
01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:20,240
Speaker 2: opponents by sixty points, and last time that was done,

2224
01:58:20,280 --> 01:58:22,640
Speaker 2: the six teams have made the playoffs. I don't think

2225
01:58:22,680 --> 01:58:25,760
Speaker 2: the Giants will. Tennessee Titans at three and fourteen. Liked

2226
01:58:25,800 --> 01:58:28,520
Speaker 2: what I saw out of cam mord A lot last week,

2227
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:32,920
Speaker 2: seven to one to win the AFC South. Now, but

2228
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:35,200
Speaker 2: if history is any indication, the Titans are in trouble

2229
01:58:35,200 --> 01:58:37,400
Speaker 2: by virtue of the fact, they've never gone from worse

2230
01:58:37,400 --> 01:58:39,640
Speaker 2: to first in their history, even the thirty seven years

2231
01:58:39,640 --> 01:58:42,440
Speaker 2: they were in Houston. So we'll see how they fared

2232
01:58:42,480 --> 01:58:45,280
Speaker 2: at home against the Rams. They played Denver really tough

2233
01:58:45,360 --> 01:58:48,280
Speaker 2: last week. I was impressed. I was impressed with their effort.

2234
01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:50,960
Speaker 2: I was impressed with cam Ward. I think this team's

2235
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:53,280
Speaker 2: going to be a tough out. Does that mean I

2236
01:58:53,280 --> 01:58:56,480
Speaker 2: think they win their division? Can't say they will. The

2237
01:58:56,520 --> 01:58:59,680
Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints, I don't think. Spencer Ratler in thirteen

2238
01:58:59,720 --> 01:59:02,240
Speaker 2: to one. The Saints again went from worces to first

2239
01:59:02,240 --> 01:59:05,360
Speaker 2: back in twenty oh nine. That's when they had Drew Brees.

2240
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:10,400
Speaker 2: They actually act win the Super Bowl that year, and

2241
01:59:10,440 --> 01:59:12,760
Speaker 2: by the way, the twenty seventeen Eagles did the same

2242
01:59:12,760 --> 01:59:15,240
Speaker 2: thing going from Worces to first, but this is not

2243
01:59:15,360 --> 01:59:18,640
Speaker 2: the case. Finally, the Cleveland Browns thirty five to one.

2244
01:59:18,720 --> 01:59:22,760
Speaker 2: Since the AFL NFL merger in nineteen seventy, Cleveland's actually

2245
01:59:22,800 --> 01:59:26,080
Speaker 2: won five division titles in fifty five years, but they've

2246
01:59:26,120 --> 01:59:28,560
Speaker 2: never gone from worse to first, and I think it's

2247
01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:30,760
Speaker 2: probably a safe bet that dot will continue in twenty

2248
01:59:30,800 --> 01:59:34,880
Speaker 2: twenty five. They had Cincinnati beat last week. They played

2249
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:38,200
Speaker 2: really well. Flacco played well, good effort all the way around,

2250
01:59:38,360 --> 01:59:41,880
Speaker 2: and a comedy of theirs, a missed extra point, a

2251
01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:48,200
Speaker 2: missed field goal, turnover. This team has just cursed. And

2252
01:59:48,200 --> 01:59:51,320
Speaker 2: I think Kevin Stefanski is a good coach. But I

2253
01:59:51,320 --> 01:59:56,240
Speaker 2: feel like Cincinnati gets it done in that division. So

2254
01:59:56,640 --> 01:59:58,000
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go out on a limb, and if

2255
01:59:58,040 --> 02:00:00,640
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But those are the eighteen and

2256
02:00:00,800 --> 02:00:02,520
Speaker 2: I don't think any of them are going to go

2257
02:00:03,480 --> 02:00:07,000
Speaker 2: from Worster first this year, unless you know, Rock Purty

2258
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:10,680
Speaker 2: comes back and the Niners do something crazy. Keep it locked.

2259
02:00:10,680 --> 02:00:12,920
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show here on Fox

2260
02:00:13,160 --> 02:00:14,120
Speaker 2: Sports Radio.

2261
02:00:15,360 --> 02:00:18,040
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2262
02:00:18,360 --> 02:00:21,440
Speaker 2: That's right, you heard the man Bernie Frattle Show. Keeps

2263
02:00:21,600 --> 02:00:24,640
Speaker 2: Roland right along. My name is Bernie Fraddle. We're coming

2264
02:00:24,640 --> 02:00:27,400
Speaker 2: to your line from the Fox Sports Radio compound here

2265
02:00:27,440 --> 02:00:30,120
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. Will take you up to three am Pacific,

2266
02:00:30,520 --> 02:00:34,680
Speaker 2: six am easter ward. We are now seven hours and

2267
02:00:35,040 --> 02:00:39,360
Speaker 2: fifty nine minutes away from which should be an entertaining

2268
02:00:39,520 --> 02:00:42,120
Speaker 2: NFL Week two, and I expect it to look a

2269
02:00:42,120 --> 02:00:48,280
Speaker 2: little different than NFL Week one in terms of how

2270
02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:51,680
Speaker 2: often you'll see an NFL team not look very good

2271
02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:57,200
Speaker 2: week one and look completely different week two, and vice versa. Now,

2272
02:00:58,080 --> 02:01:00,400
Speaker 2: if there were let's put it this way, you don't

2273
02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:04,120
Speaker 2: sample all the games, but the three most notable matchups

2274
02:01:04,200 --> 02:01:07,840
Speaker 2: that I really am looking forward to I'm going to

2275
02:01:07,880 --> 02:01:12,000
Speaker 2: start with the Bears Allions. Lions are lay six. This

2276
02:01:12,040 --> 02:01:16,839
Speaker 2: is a notable game. It's a very critical early division matchup.

2277
02:01:18,040 --> 02:01:22,560
Speaker 2: And the Bears, you saw what they did in their

2278
02:01:22,600 --> 02:01:26,040
Speaker 2: divisional matchup last week, and you saw what the Lions

2279
02:01:26,080 --> 02:01:30,200
Speaker 2: did in their divisional matchup last week. And this has

2280
02:01:30,400 --> 02:01:36,320
Speaker 2: added fire because Bears head coach Ben Johnson he made

2281
02:01:36,360 --> 02:01:38,320
Speaker 2: his mark in Detroit, and he loved his time in

2282
02:01:38,400 --> 02:01:44,960
Speaker 2: Detroit and even decided to pass up potential head coaching

2283
02:01:44,960 --> 02:01:48,440
Speaker 2: gig in twenty twenty four and spent another season competing

2284
02:01:48,440 --> 02:01:51,960
Speaker 2: for a Super Bowl with Dan Campbell. Now, from what

2285
02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:55,640
Speaker 2: I understand, Ben Johnson is not going to get a

2286
02:01:56,160 --> 02:02:02,040
Speaker 2: Heroes welcome at Ford Field in Detroit courtesy of the

2287
02:02:02,080 --> 02:02:06,440
Speaker 2: promise that Lion's receiver among Ross Saint Brown made. Apparently

2288
02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:09,920
Speaker 2: he's calling for a chorus, a booze and expletives and

2289
02:02:09,960 --> 02:02:12,640
Speaker 2: all kinds of things, and you can bet that'll happen.

2290
02:02:12,920 --> 02:02:16,920
Speaker 2: They just will. But these are the matchups and part

2291
02:02:16,920 --> 02:02:21,280
Speaker 2: of the reason that I think these are notable, intriguing

2292
02:02:21,320 --> 02:02:24,800
Speaker 2: matches for me. Let's start with the Lions running backs

2293
02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:29,440
Speaker 2: versus the Bears defense. Now, last year the Lions had

2294
02:02:29,440 --> 02:02:33,680
Speaker 2: the top running back due and Jamier Gibbs and David Montgomery,

2295
02:02:35,040 --> 02:02:39,800
Speaker 2: and they struggled mightily in Week one against Green Bay.

2296
02:02:39,880 --> 02:02:42,840
Speaker 2: And now we have sort of added reference that this

2297
02:02:43,000 --> 02:02:47,160
Speaker 2: Green Bay team might might be pretty damn good. Their

2298
02:02:47,200 --> 02:02:51,720
Speaker 2: defense was already rounding into shape last year. They accumulated

2299
02:02:51,760 --> 02:02:54,800
Speaker 2: all those draft picks in the first round on defense

2300
02:02:55,200 --> 02:02:57,560
Speaker 2: and their coming of age. Now you add Micah Parsons,

2301
02:02:57,560 --> 02:03:01,040
Speaker 2: and well you saw for yourself that the Packers not

2302
02:03:01,120 --> 02:03:06,360
Speaker 2: only handled the Lions week one, they handled the Washington

2303
02:03:06,360 --> 02:03:12,200
Speaker 2: Commanders Thursday night. And in Week one Jamior Gibbs and

2304
02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:16,879
Speaker 2: David Montgomery only averaged two yards of parrot carry a

2305
02:03:16,880 --> 02:03:20,800
Speaker 2: success rush rate and not great yard of d after

2306
02:03:20,880 --> 02:03:26,600
Speaker 2: contact or even before contact. They ranked thirtieth among all things. Now,

2307
02:03:27,240 --> 02:03:29,120
Speaker 2: this is why I want to watch. Was that just

2308
02:03:29,240 --> 02:03:33,280
Speaker 2: it was because it was against the Green Bay Packers

2309
02:03:33,280 --> 02:03:36,080
Speaker 2: and this was perhaps a bit of an outlier performance

2310
02:03:36,920 --> 02:03:40,840
Speaker 2: against an extremely stout green Bay defense? Or is this

2311
02:03:40,920 --> 02:03:45,400
Speaker 2: a sign of things to come? Now? I like the

2312
02:03:45,440 --> 02:03:48,040
Speaker 2: Lions in this spot would not be surprised if they

2313
02:03:48,040 --> 02:03:52,440
Speaker 2: cover the six haven't fired on it yet. But I

2314
02:03:52,440 --> 02:03:54,440
Speaker 2: don't see a scenario where the Bears win the game.

2315
02:03:54,560 --> 02:04:01,240
Speaker 2: I just don't and I think the Lions have an advantage.

2316
02:04:01,520 --> 02:04:06,400
Speaker 2: They have a revamped offensive line, which was very much

2317
02:04:06,440 --> 02:04:12,040
Speaker 2: plagued with some communication issues against Green Bay. But they've

2318
02:04:12,040 --> 02:04:15,600
Speaker 2: had several days to clear that up, clean that up,

2319
02:04:16,600 --> 02:04:19,640
Speaker 2: and they've dedicated that. It's my understanding the Lions have

2320
02:04:19,760 --> 02:04:25,440
Speaker 2: had sort of dedicated their workouts and their focus on

2321
02:04:25,680 --> 02:04:28,560
Speaker 2: addressing their running game, which was which was critical last year,

2322
02:04:32,800 --> 02:04:37,400
Speaker 2: by the way, after Chicago's defense was completely gashed repeatedly, repeatedly,

2323
02:04:37,440 --> 02:04:41,320
Speaker 2: repeatedly by Minnesota's Jordan Mason, who averaged about four yards

2324
02:04:41,320 --> 02:04:45,920
Speaker 2: of carry after contact. This should really be a get

2325
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:49,400
Speaker 2: right game for Gibbs and Montgomery. I think you'll see

2326
02:04:49,400 --> 02:04:54,200
Speaker 2: a whole different Lions team on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Bears, Yeah,

2327
02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:58,640
Speaker 2: you could hit the panic meter, Okay. Ben Johnson's arrival

2328
02:04:58,720 --> 02:05:01,600
Speaker 2: was supposed to spark this may you breakout for Caleb Williams,

2329
02:05:02,160 --> 02:05:04,560
Speaker 2: and he had a flawless opening drive Monday night against

2330
02:05:04,560 --> 02:05:08,480
Speaker 2: the Vikings. But we'll get to the rest of that

2331
02:05:08,560 --> 02:05:10,200
Speaker 2: later in the end of the show. When I talk

2332
02:05:10,240 --> 02:05:12,240
Speaker 2: about panic meter, and there's a few teams and a

2333
02:05:12,240 --> 02:05:17,080
Speaker 2: few players, yeah, you should panic about Okay, there's a

2334
02:05:17,080 --> 02:05:19,240
Speaker 2: long way to go in the season, but people don't

2335
02:05:19,320 --> 02:05:22,919
Speaker 2: escape their nature. There's just something about this Caleb Williams

2336
02:05:23,400 --> 02:05:25,840
Speaker 2: dude in his style of quarterback play. He's got all

2337
02:05:25,840 --> 02:05:29,880
Speaker 2: the physical ability in the world, but you know, on

2338
02:05:29,920 --> 02:05:31,640
Speaker 2: the NFL level, you've got to get rid of the ball.

2339
02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:32,920
Speaker 2: It takes too long to get rid of the ball.

2340
02:05:32,920 --> 02:05:36,000
Speaker 2: He likes to playoff schedule, and the longer the game

2341
02:05:36,040 --> 02:05:38,080
Speaker 2: went on, the more he reverted back to his nature.

2342
02:05:38,120 --> 02:05:40,800
Speaker 2: People don't escape their nature. That one play where he

2343
02:05:40,880 --> 02:05:42,760
Speaker 2: ran around like a worlding Dervisi and stepped out of

2344
02:05:42,720 --> 02:05:45,720
Speaker 2: bounds for firing the ball, that to me was metaphorical.

2345
02:05:45,720 --> 02:05:47,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you might as well just queue up the

2346
02:05:47,520 --> 02:05:50,480
Speaker 2: you know, the Benny Hill music on that one. So

2347
02:05:50,520 --> 02:05:53,960
Speaker 2: I like the Lions, but it's again key matchups now,

2348
02:05:53,960 --> 02:05:59,400
Speaker 2: the Falcons and the Vikings. To me, I am very

2349
02:05:59,400 --> 02:06:01,640
Speaker 2: interested in. Vikings are currently a four and a half

2350
02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:06,840
Speaker 2: point favorite. Kirk Cousins visits Minnesota. The irony is he

2351
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:11,200
Speaker 2: probably won't take a snap against his former team, the Vikings,

2352
02:06:14,280 --> 02:06:16,800
Speaker 2: and it's interesting that that the Falcons chose to pay

2353
02:06:16,880 --> 02:06:21,320
Speaker 2: Cousins and still draft Michael PENNOCKX junior and it's completely

2354
02:06:21,520 --> 02:06:25,960
Speaker 2: in contrast to what they did in Minnesota. If you're

2355
02:06:25,960 --> 02:06:29,320
Speaker 2: gonna take the rookie route, why not choose the surplus

2356
02:06:29,400 --> 02:06:32,040
Speaker 2: value to plug roster leaks. And that's what the Vikings did.

2357
02:06:32,680 --> 02:06:34,720
Speaker 2: You know, when the Vikings got going, it's a four

2358
02:06:34,840 --> 02:06:39,120
Speaker 2: quarter game. I know people making speeches and how bad

2359
02:06:40,080 --> 02:06:42,440
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy looked the first three quarters in the Vikings.

2360
02:06:42,440 --> 02:06:45,040
Speaker 2: So it's a four quarter game. He deserved to be

2361
02:06:45,120 --> 02:06:47,800
Speaker 2: Player of the Week. The Vikings were able to sign

2362
02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:50,640
Speaker 2: more core players like Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel

2363
02:06:50,680 --> 02:06:54,440
Speaker 2: and Blake Cashman Aaron Jones because they're not breaking the

2364
02:06:54,440 --> 02:06:56,200
Speaker 2: bank for a quarterback who's going to end up sitting

2365
02:06:56,240 --> 02:07:00,120
Speaker 2: on the bench. But here's a key matchup again, it's

2366
02:07:00,120 --> 02:07:04,200
Speaker 2: all about matchups in the NFL. Justin Jefferson versus the

2367
02:07:04,240 --> 02:07:08,960
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcon secondary now again rookie QB JJ McCarthy. He

2368
02:07:09,000 --> 02:07:13,160
Speaker 2: relied heavily on Justin Jefferson last week, who saw the

2369
02:07:13,240 --> 02:07:17,520
Speaker 2: ninth highest target share among all receivers in Week one.

2370
02:07:17,760 --> 02:07:20,880
Speaker 2: And I think any concerns about people that had about j. J.

2371
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:26,760
Speaker 2: McCarthy were overblown. He's a leader, he's a winner, he's smart. Yes,

2372
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:31,760
Speaker 2: he had to acclimate. It never started an NFL game.

2373
02:07:31,840 --> 02:07:34,200
Speaker 2: They threw right into the fire and Monday night football

2374
02:07:34,520 --> 02:07:38,960
Speaker 2: in a highly charged situation. I always knew he had

2375
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:40,840
Speaker 2: that kind of armstring. People didn't know he could do

2376
02:07:40,880 --> 02:07:44,320
Speaker 2: it at Michigan because he wasn't asked to. Michigan did

2377
02:07:44,320 --> 02:07:45,880
Speaker 2: what they needed to do to win games, but every

2378
02:07:45,920 --> 02:07:48,080
Speaker 2: time JJ McCarthy needed to come up with a throw,

2379
02:07:49,440 --> 02:07:56,080
Speaker 2: he did, and he has that it factor. I expect

2380
02:07:56,120 --> 02:07:59,280
Speaker 2: he'll lean heavily again on Justin Jefferson, as he should.

2381
02:08:00,240 --> 02:08:03,040
Speaker 2: Falcons got a pretty good defensive backfield, but I think

2382
02:08:03,080 --> 02:08:07,320
Speaker 2: the Vikings have the advantage. AJ Terrell one of the

2383
02:08:07,400 --> 02:08:11,040
Speaker 2: Falcons cornerback. He had a very strong start in Week one.

2384
02:08:11,080 --> 02:08:13,440
Speaker 2: He limited Mike Evans to only fifty one yards in

2385
02:08:13,520 --> 02:08:19,040
Speaker 2: shadow coverage. Now, I would suspicion that AJ Terrell will

2386
02:08:19,160 --> 02:08:21,720
Speaker 2: draw the assignment on Justin Jefferson for most of the game.

2387
02:08:22,680 --> 02:08:27,240
Speaker 2: But don't expect that to slow down Justin Jefferson one

2388
02:08:27,280 --> 02:08:30,120
Speaker 2: hundred percent. You're not going to. Since both Jefferson and

2389
02:08:30,200 --> 02:08:34,320
Speaker 2: Terrell were drafted five years ago. In twenty twenty, Jefferson

2390
02:08:34,320 --> 02:08:36,960
Speaker 2: has actually posted two hundred and ninety eight receiving yards

2391
02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:40,440
Speaker 2: and four touchdowns in the two games against Atlanta, including

2392
02:08:40,840 --> 02:08:45,320
Speaker 2: well thirty plus fantasy points in each game. Still, it's

2393
02:08:45,320 --> 02:08:48,480
Speaker 2: a matchup to watch. I'm intrigued to see how JJ

2394
02:08:48,600 --> 02:08:51,800
Speaker 2: McCarthy does it his second start, and how the Falcons

2395
02:08:51,840 --> 02:08:55,920
Speaker 2: do after pulling out that win last week. Again, it's

2396
02:08:55,960 --> 02:09:03,720
Speaker 2: an intriguing matchup. Finally, Monday Night Eagles and Chiefs. Now,

2397
02:09:03,760 --> 02:09:06,040
Speaker 2: we've been kind of spoiled with football so far, and

2398
02:09:06,080 --> 02:09:11,960
Speaker 2: now you get this weekend's Super Bowl rematch. Right, there's

2399
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:15,839
Speaker 2: an obvious matchup that once again is going to decide

2400
02:09:15,920 --> 02:09:19,640
Speaker 2: this game. And you already know what it is because

2401
02:09:19,640 --> 02:09:23,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure Patrick Mahomes saw these knuckleheads in his sleep.

2402
02:09:23,920 --> 02:09:29,960
Speaker 2: All winner and that's the Eagles defensive line against the

2403
02:09:30,040 --> 02:09:35,880
Speaker 2: Chiefs offensive line. Now, Jalen Carter, a spitting image of

2404
02:09:35,960 --> 02:09:37,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Carter, is going to be back to the front

2405
02:09:38,040 --> 02:09:42,520
Speaker 2: four that rock Mahomes and his three peat. Last February.

2406
02:09:43,200 --> 02:09:46,040
Speaker 2: He missed virtually, well, he missed the entire Week one.

2407
02:09:46,080 --> 02:09:48,520
Speaker 2: He didn't play snap we played well, Diddy, I don't know.

2408
02:09:48,520 --> 02:09:50,080
Speaker 2: He was seven seconds into the game. He got into

2409
02:09:50,120 --> 02:09:56,320
Speaker 2: this bidding contest. You know what happened. But Kansas City

2410
02:09:56,360 --> 02:09:58,080
Speaker 2: is going to rely on a rookie tackle by the

2411
02:09:58,160 --> 02:10:02,800
Speaker 2: name of Josh Simmons and you know, another repatched offensive

2412
02:10:02,800 --> 02:10:06,080
Speaker 2: line to hold up. Okay, but if they hold up,

2413
02:10:06,160 --> 02:10:08,160
Speaker 2: I expect a pretty good game out of Patrick Maholmes.

2414
02:10:08,200 --> 02:10:11,040
Speaker 2: You don't know, though, I have to give the advantage

2415
02:10:11,040 --> 02:10:14,600
Speaker 2: to the Eagles here. Why there are a couple of problems.

2416
02:10:15,160 --> 02:10:18,440
Speaker 2: First again, as I said, the Chief's offensive line remains

2417
02:10:18,440 --> 02:10:22,160
Speaker 2: a work in progress. Secondly, and every bit is important,

2418
02:10:22,240 --> 02:10:25,680
Speaker 2: is that Mahomes is now without Exavier Worthy. I know

2419
02:10:25,800 --> 02:10:28,840
Speaker 2: he may I don't know if actually forgive me, I

2420
02:10:28,880 --> 02:10:31,680
Speaker 2: haven't read the latest injury report. They may gloo him

2421
02:10:31,680 --> 02:10:34,480
Speaker 2: together and he may get out there. He's got a

2422
02:10:34,560 --> 02:10:37,960
Speaker 2: separated shoulder that's going to hurt his catch radius. I

2423
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:39,800
Speaker 2: don't know if he can take a hit. He may

2424
02:10:39,800 --> 02:10:42,080
Speaker 2: wear a brace. He may try to go no where

2425
02:10:42,160 --> 02:10:46,720
Speaker 2: she Rice No Xavier Worthy, and Xavier Worthy was actually

2426
02:10:46,760 --> 02:10:49,280
Speaker 2: the lone bright spot in the Super Bowl, if you recall,

2427
02:10:49,920 --> 02:10:53,520
Speaker 2: going to make matters worse for the Chiefs. Eagles defensive

2428
02:10:53,520 --> 02:10:59,840
Speaker 2: coordinator Vic Fangio has a defense. Well it's new, but

2429
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:05,800
Speaker 2: he's got dogs, and the Eagles just have this belief

2430
02:11:05,840 --> 02:11:09,560
Speaker 2: that the way to be Kansas City is to smack

2431
02:11:09,600 --> 02:11:11,520
Speaker 2: him in the mouth early and offen and keep it coming,

2432
02:11:12,360 --> 02:11:17,680
Speaker 2: all right. And Patrick Mahomes admitted last year the reason

2433
02:11:17,760 --> 02:11:21,440
Speaker 2: the Eagles slowed him down so much they've played Mahomes

2434
02:11:21,480 --> 02:11:28,640
Speaker 2: has played the Eagles twice, lost to him twice. The

2435
02:11:28,800 --> 02:11:31,880
Speaker 2: reason that the Eagles slowed him down, he says, quot

2436
02:11:31,960 --> 02:11:34,360
Speaker 2: they did a great job of disrupting my timing. Look

2437
02:11:34,400 --> 02:11:39,640
Speaker 2: at the numbers zero and two. The Chiefs only average.

2438
02:11:39,680 --> 02:11:41,880
Speaker 2: The offense only averaged nineteen points per game in the

2439
02:11:41,920 --> 02:11:45,040
Speaker 2: two games against the Eagles, completion percentage sixty percent, only

2440
02:11:45,040 --> 02:11:48,400
Speaker 2: two hundred and seventeen yards passing per each game on

2441
02:11:48,480 --> 02:11:53,920
Speaker 2: average through five touchdowns, and had four turnovers, four interceptions,

2442
02:11:54,000 --> 02:11:58,360
Speaker 2: sacked seven times. And in case you missed it, if

2443
02:11:58,360 --> 02:12:02,560
Speaker 2: you haven't been paying attention in the last thirty six games,

2444
02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:07,200
Speaker 2: the Chiefs offense in point per game ranks sixteenth twenty

2445
02:12:07,200 --> 02:12:10,040
Speaker 2: two point two points a game. They ranked eighteenth in

2446
02:12:10,120 --> 02:12:13,280
Speaker 2: yards per play, They ranked twenty thirty in rush yards

2447
02:12:13,320 --> 02:12:17,520
Speaker 2: per game. They ranked twenty seventh in big plays explosive plays,

2448
02:12:18,320 --> 02:12:21,960
Speaker 2: and they ranked eighteenth. And their red zone touchdown percentage

2449
02:12:22,400 --> 02:12:26,400
Speaker 2: those are not good factors when you line up against

2450
02:12:26,400 --> 02:12:29,600
Speaker 2: an Eagles team that, frankly I expect to be a

2451
02:12:29,640 --> 02:12:32,360
Speaker 2: hell of a lot more buttoned up than they were

2452
02:12:32,400 --> 02:12:36,640
Speaker 2: opening a week against the Cowboys. Take nothing away from

2453
02:12:36,640 --> 02:12:39,920
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. They gave an excellent effort and that was

2454
02:12:39,960 --> 02:12:42,000
Speaker 2: a good ball game, and they covered the number. As

2455
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:45,720
Speaker 2: you recall, I liked the Cowboys plus eight and a half. Okay,

2456
02:12:45,880 --> 02:12:49,760
Speaker 2: they covered big deal. Outward and upward. Monday Night's going

2457
02:12:49,800 --> 02:12:51,040
Speaker 2: to be a lot of fun to watch. You know,

2458
02:12:51,040 --> 02:12:53,680
Speaker 2: you've heard the stories over the years, the Chiefs a

2459
02:12:53,720 --> 02:12:56,240
Speaker 2: dog at home. This is not the same Chiefs team.

2460
02:12:56,440 --> 02:12:58,440
Speaker 2: It's just simply not you know that. And they're only

2461
02:12:58,480 --> 02:13:01,600
Speaker 2: getting a point and a half. And I think the Eagles,

2462
02:13:02,640 --> 02:13:04,640
Speaker 2: I joked earlier in the show, there's no such good

2463
02:13:04,720 --> 02:13:08,640
Speaker 2: thing as a good loss. It's like a good kiddy stone. Well,

2464
02:13:08,720 --> 02:13:11,880
Speaker 2: the Eagles won, and they'll take the w that's for sure,

2465
02:13:12,680 --> 02:13:14,760
Speaker 2: But it was an ugly win. As Doug Brader used

2466
02:13:14,800 --> 02:13:17,800
Speaker 2: to say, they were winning ugly. So the three notable

2467
02:13:17,800 --> 02:13:20,000
Speaker 2: matchups for me, and there are lots of great games

2468
02:13:20,040 --> 02:13:24,120
Speaker 2: on Sunday, Sunday Night and then the doubleheader Monday Night

2469
02:13:24,200 --> 02:13:27,960
Speaker 2: football but the Bears and Lions really has my attention,

2470
02:13:28,560 --> 02:13:31,040
Speaker 2: the Falcons and Vikings really has my attention, and the

2471
02:13:31,040 --> 02:13:33,840
Speaker 2: Eagles and Chiefs absolutely is probably gonna have all of

2472
02:13:33,880 --> 02:13:39,520
Speaker 2: our attention based on the factors I just gave. I

2473
02:13:39,600 --> 02:13:44,640
Speaker 2: did not mention. I did not mention the Pittsburgh Steelers.

2474
02:13:45,160 --> 02:13:49,080
Speaker 2: They hosted the Seahawks later on today, and I did

2475
02:13:49,080 --> 02:13:54,040
Speaker 2: not mention Aaron Rodgers for Rogers. Looks like he's going

2476
02:13:54,120 --> 02:13:59,240
Speaker 2: to operate the Pittsburgh offense and their coordinator, Arthur Smith

2477
02:14:00,240 --> 02:14:03,480
Speaker 2: and that offense at a pretty high level actually, and

2478
02:14:03,520 --> 02:14:06,880
Speaker 2: his willingness to do so is going to make for good,

2479
02:14:07,560 --> 02:14:12,960
Speaker 2: you know, camaraderie with the Steelers. Now, his final statline

2480
02:14:12,960 --> 02:14:16,920
Speaker 2: against the Jets look pretty good, and he seems to

2481
02:14:16,960 --> 02:14:20,160
Speaker 2: have checked his ego with some of his preferences such as,

2482
02:14:20,200 --> 02:14:23,480
Speaker 2: you know, a few emotions in play action. Maybe he

2483
02:14:23,560 --> 02:14:27,440
Speaker 2: realizes he needs those easy button plays, especially when he's

2484
02:14:27,440 --> 02:14:31,840
Speaker 2: forty one years old, and he's definitely playing the back nine.

2485
02:14:31,920 --> 02:14:35,400
Speaker 2: I'm guessing this is going to be Aaron Rodgers last year.

2486
02:14:35,440 --> 02:14:39,720
Speaker 2: Who knows, but you know, there ain't many left, let's

2487
02:14:39,720 --> 02:14:43,760
Speaker 2: put it that way. So the question is, is Aaron Rodgers back.

2488
02:14:44,600 --> 02:14:46,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to go that far,

2489
02:14:46,760 --> 02:14:49,480
Speaker 2: but I'll give you some thoughts on that coming up.

2490
02:14:49,520 --> 02:14:52,240
Speaker 2: And again, it's only one game, but that's got my

2491
02:14:52,280 --> 02:14:56,360
Speaker 2: attention as well. By the way, if you missed any

2504

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Studios. Just seven hours and thirty six

2505
02:15:43,040 --> 02:15:46,600
Speaker 2: minutes away from another raucus NFL wee can you get

2506
02:15:46,600 --> 02:15:48,680
Speaker 2: to see her? In Rodgers play? Is the uh.

2507
02:15:50,920 --> 02:15:51,000
Speaker 6: Is?

2508
02:15:51,040 --> 02:15:56,160
Speaker 2: The Pittsburgh Steelers take on the visiting Seattle Seahawks and

2509
02:15:56,840 --> 02:16:00,680
Speaker 2: first impressions, well, Rogers seems like he operates Arthur's Meth's defense.

2510
02:16:00,720 --> 02:16:04,360
Speaker 2: He's the offensive coordinator for the Steelers at a pretty

2511
02:16:04,400 --> 02:16:07,720
Speaker 2: high level, and he's open minded. To me, he's more

2512
02:16:08,160 --> 02:16:10,400
Speaker 2: team oriented this year, and he seems to be willing

2513
02:16:10,440 --> 02:16:13,080
Speaker 2: to do it. And his final stat line against the

2514
02:16:13,160 --> 02:16:16,840
Speaker 2: Jets look pretty good, and he seems to his check

2515
02:16:16,920 --> 02:16:25,600
Speaker 2: his ego, and so is Aaron Rodgers well back. I

2516
02:16:25,600 --> 02:16:27,840
Speaker 2: don't even know what that really means. I mean, I

2517
02:16:27,880 --> 02:16:31,200
Speaker 2: know the last time he was out in Green Bay

2518
02:16:31,480 --> 02:16:33,720
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, he was an MVP, but it's been

2519
02:16:33,720 --> 02:16:36,640
Speaker 2: pretty much downhill since. The stats in Green Bay in

2520
02:16:36,680 --> 02:16:39,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two were not great. He had four total

2521
02:16:40,280 --> 02:16:42,680
Speaker 2: snaps with the Jets in twenty twenty three before the

2522
02:16:42,720 --> 02:16:47,520
Speaker 2: Achilles twenty twenty four was a nightmare, and now with

2523
02:16:47,600 --> 02:16:52,840
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh one last fight at the Apple, Rogers seems very intent.

2524
02:16:52,920 --> 02:16:55,960
Speaker 2: I'm not only proving his doubters wrong, but trying to

2525
02:16:56,000 --> 02:16:58,960
Speaker 2: make a legitimate wrong with his team. Don't know about that,

2526
02:16:59,040 --> 02:17:04,200
Speaker 2: but that get too far ahead of ourselves. Against the Jets,

2527
02:17:04,680 --> 02:17:07,320
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers used play action on thirty three percent of

2528
02:17:07,360 --> 02:17:11,200
Speaker 2: his plays, and he was six of eight for three touchdowns,

2529
02:17:11,560 --> 02:17:14,960
Speaker 2: and that's his bread and butter, play action. But it

2530
02:17:15,000 --> 02:17:18,640
Speaker 2: was only eight plays, okay, And so the fact that

2531
02:17:18,720 --> 02:17:22,600
Speaker 2: his preference, even though you know he likes motion, he

2532
02:17:22,680 --> 02:17:26,760
Speaker 2: likes play action, that's not necessarily a big part of

2533
02:17:26,840 --> 02:17:30,560
Speaker 2: Arthur Smith's offense. Rogers is going, was seemingly going with

2534
02:17:30,600 --> 02:17:33,760
Speaker 2: the flow. His other touchdown was a tap pass, which

2535
02:17:33,800 --> 02:17:38,560
Speaker 2: is basically essentially a handoff. Now, before we go too crazy,

2536
02:17:38,640 --> 02:17:41,600
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is most of Aaron Rodgers'

2537
02:17:41,600 --> 02:17:45,760
Speaker 2: passes were short. He only averaged six point or check that,

2538
02:17:45,920 --> 02:17:49,880
Speaker 2: four point six air yards per play. That's not great.

2539
02:17:50,320 --> 02:17:52,880
Speaker 2: That's not great. In the NFL, you should be around

2540
02:17:52,879 --> 02:17:54,879
Speaker 2: eight or nine. You know what. The reason how they

2541
02:17:54,959 --> 02:17:58,000
Speaker 2: get that stat is they take the number of passing

2542
02:17:58,080 --> 02:18:01,280
Speaker 2: yards you accumulate and divide that by the number of attempts,

2543
02:18:01,520 --> 02:18:06,280
Speaker 2: not number of completions. And the higher that that air

2544
02:18:06,400 --> 02:18:10,959
Speaker 2: yards per play is an indicator of the fact that

2545
02:18:11,000 --> 02:18:14,160
Speaker 2: you're able to keep your eyes down field, and you

2546
02:18:14,240 --> 02:18:16,120
Speaker 2: may be checking down some of the time, but you're

2547
02:18:16,280 --> 02:18:19,920
Speaker 2: still a very vertical threat. So four point six yards

2548
02:18:19,920 --> 02:18:23,000
Speaker 2: per play not great. But Rogers got rid of the

2549
02:18:23,000 --> 02:18:28,440
Speaker 2: ball extremely fast. Average two point six seconds time to

2550
02:18:28,480 --> 02:18:31,520
Speaker 2: throw at forty one, that's about half the time that

2551
02:18:31,560 --> 02:18:36,760
Speaker 2: Schador Sanders does. So that's serious. That's really good. The

2552
02:18:36,840 --> 02:18:40,440
Speaker 2: Steelers gain their most yards after the catch per reception

2553
02:18:40,520 --> 02:18:46,760
Speaker 2: in the league as well, seven point nine. Look, Rogers

2554
02:18:46,800 --> 02:18:50,440
Speaker 2: can still make the throws, most of the throws, most

2555
02:18:50,480 --> 02:18:54,000
Speaker 2: of the time. He still throws a real nice fadeball,

2556
02:18:55,240 --> 02:18:58,959
Speaker 2: but so far we haven't really seen a willingness to

2557
02:18:59,040 --> 02:19:02,400
Speaker 2: test the middle of the field. And the Steelers had

2558
02:19:02,520 --> 02:19:08,120
Speaker 2: nine third down plays and Rogers on I think all

2559
02:19:08,120 --> 02:19:13,240
Speaker 2: but one through the ball short of the sticks. That's

2560
02:19:13,240 --> 02:19:17,400
Speaker 2: no bueno. You're even taught in high school. Find the

2561
02:19:17,400 --> 02:19:21,280
Speaker 2: first down marker, run your route, catch the ball, make

2562
02:19:21,320 --> 02:19:23,560
Speaker 2: a first down. They don't pay it a punt on

2563
02:19:23,640 --> 02:19:27,000
Speaker 2: third down. They pay to get first downs. That's where

2564
02:19:27,080 --> 02:19:31,160
Speaker 2: quarterback makes his bones. Third down, red zone, fourth quarter.

2565
02:19:31,240 --> 02:19:34,760
Speaker 2: But third down is critical, all right. And this is

2566
02:19:34,840 --> 02:19:38,080
Speaker 2: kind of revealing too, because either they're i won't say,

2567
02:19:38,160 --> 02:19:41,080
Speaker 2: taking training wheels off the guys. The freaking guy's been

2568
02:19:41,120 --> 02:19:48,880
Speaker 2: in the NFL what twenty years, but the vertical game

2569
02:19:48,959 --> 02:19:51,879
Speaker 2: was not you know, anything to ride home about. So

2570
02:19:52,040 --> 02:19:54,520
Speaker 2: on the nine third down plays, Rogers threw the ball

2571
02:19:54,560 --> 02:19:57,080
Speaker 2: short of the sticks every time but one, and he

2572
02:19:57,120 --> 02:20:00,360
Speaker 2: was actually sacked twice. Now that's not all on Rogers

2573
02:20:01,040 --> 02:20:05,040
Speaker 2: because his left tackle, the blindside guy, Brodert Jones, was

2574
02:20:05,080 --> 02:20:11,600
Speaker 2: beaten like a drum. But overall, overall, although the Steelers

2575
02:20:11,840 --> 02:20:15,600
Speaker 2: got the win and there was some pluses, the Steelers

2576
02:20:15,720 --> 02:20:19,199
Speaker 2: drop back passing game in terms of what you need

2577
02:20:19,280 --> 02:20:23,120
Speaker 2: by NFL standards to be taken seriously, is a concern,

2578
02:20:24,400 --> 02:20:28,800
Speaker 2: possibly a major concern. We'll see what Pittsburgh does later

2579
02:20:28,879 --> 02:20:32,320
Speaker 2: on to day against Seattle and as the season grinds on.

2580
02:20:34,160 --> 02:20:38,240
Speaker 2: The positive is Rogers actually can execute. This is not

2581
02:20:38,280 --> 02:20:41,360
Speaker 2: his first barbecue. He can execute if they stay on

2582
02:20:41,360 --> 02:20:45,560
Speaker 2: schedule and run the system. If they stand on schedule,

2583
02:20:45,959 --> 02:20:49,240
Speaker 2: run the system, Yes, I think that should be enough

2584
02:20:49,240 --> 02:20:51,760
Speaker 2: to get them into the playoffs. Why can't Pittsburgh go

2585
02:20:51,879 --> 02:20:54,560
Speaker 2: ten and seven when they did it last year with

2586
02:20:54,640 --> 02:20:58,680
Speaker 2: the tandem of Fields and Wilson and the year before

2587
02:20:58,800 --> 02:21:05,800
Speaker 2: with all Right, shame on me the quarterback that's no

2588
02:21:05,840 --> 02:21:10,560
Speaker 2: longer there. It doesn't matter, Okay. The question is, as

2589
02:21:10,640 --> 02:21:13,879
Speaker 2: usual for Mike Tomlins team, is whether there'll be a

2590
02:21:13,959 --> 02:21:17,400
Speaker 2: threat in the postseason. That's when the real acid test

2591
02:21:17,480 --> 02:21:21,279
Speaker 2: will come. So there, there's where you take the question

2592
02:21:21,400 --> 02:21:27,080
Speaker 2: regarding Aaron Rodgers. Is Aaron Rodgers back, Well, not gonna

2593
02:21:27,120 --> 02:21:29,120
Speaker 2: be enough to win ten games. It's not gonna be

2594
02:21:29,200 --> 02:21:32,879
Speaker 2: enough to just get into the playoffs for once. The

2595
02:21:32,920 --> 02:21:37,800
Speaker 2: Steelers have to do something in the playoffs with Rogers,

2596
02:21:37,879 --> 02:21:41,000
Speaker 2: like win a game, maybe win two games, And in

2597
02:21:41,120 --> 02:21:44,199
Speaker 2: order to make that projection and feel confident about that prediction,

2598
02:21:45,080 --> 02:21:47,080
Speaker 2: we're gonna need to see more from Rogers when the

2599
02:21:47,080 --> 02:21:51,280
Speaker 2: offense gets thrown off schedule. But week one you'll take

2600
02:21:51,280 --> 02:21:54,800
Speaker 2: the w Seattle's on deck in a few hours, we'll

2601
02:21:54,840 --> 02:22:00,120
Speaker 2: see what they do with that. We covered all on

2602
02:22:00,240 --> 02:22:03,200
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frowder Show, lots of football, especially over the

2603
02:22:03,200 --> 02:22:06,040
Speaker 2: next twenty one weeks, will you starting later on the

2604
02:22:06,120 --> 02:22:10,600
Speaker 2: day and next twenty one Sundays football every Sunday. We

2605
02:22:10,840 --> 02:22:13,640
Speaker 2: also cover the other football you heard Doug, Doctor Doug

2606
02:22:13,720 --> 02:22:17,240
Speaker 2: and our one apparently in North America. Will we know

2607
02:22:17,280 --> 02:22:19,440
Speaker 2: that the World Cup's coming to North America in twenty

2608
02:22:19,440 --> 02:22:22,439
Speaker 2: twenty six, coming to a city near you, including Seattle,

2609
02:22:22,800 --> 02:22:25,480
Speaker 2: in which FIFA said they will not play a game

2610
02:22:25,640 --> 02:22:28,160
Speaker 2: in that stadium if it's not on grass, so they'll

2611
02:22:28,200 --> 02:22:30,560
Speaker 2: have to put in grass. When they're playing soccer or

2612
02:22:30,600 --> 02:22:34,480
Speaker 2: football futbol and take it out when the NFL comes back.

2613
02:22:34,480 --> 02:22:38,240
Speaker 2: The NFL is not real crazy about that, but I digress.

2614
02:22:38,320 --> 02:22:41,119
Speaker 2: It's time Chris Perffett's World of Soccer.

2615
02:22:42,720 --> 02:22:55,520
Speaker 24: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama. Hi,

2616
02:22:58,600 --> 02:23:02,039
Speaker 24: it's all here in this ruck from the world of soccer.

2617
02:23:02,160 --> 02:23:03,560
Speaker 12: Welcome into the world of soccer.

2618
02:23:03,640 --> 02:23:06,120
Speaker 25: Let's start with the United States team who picked up

2619
02:23:06,160 --> 02:23:10,560
Speaker 25: a two zero win over Japan, usually just right after,

2620
02:23:10,600 --> 02:23:11,800
Speaker 25: of course, I lay into them.

2621
02:23:12,000 --> 02:23:13,600
Speaker 12: It always seems to happen. They go out and have

2622
02:23:13,640 --> 02:23:14,200
Speaker 12: a good game.

2623
02:23:14,440 --> 02:23:16,640
Speaker 25: One thing to note is one thing I've been pounding

2624
02:23:16,680 --> 02:23:18,280
Speaker 25: on the table for for a long time in the

2625
02:23:18,280 --> 02:23:21,280
Speaker 25: world of soccer is that Flaren Bollogun should be in

2626
02:23:21,320 --> 02:23:24,440
Speaker 25: the starting eleven. And he was, and he had a

2627
02:23:24,480 --> 02:23:27,000
Speaker 25: goal in the sixty fourth minute before subbing out with

2628
02:23:27,040 --> 02:23:28,040
Speaker 25: for Damien Downs.

2629
02:23:28,840 --> 02:23:29,800
Speaker 12: That's how you do it.

2630
02:23:30,520 --> 02:23:35,000
Speaker 25: That is a very good turnaround, and I enjoy seeing

2631
02:23:35,040 --> 02:23:39,480
Speaker 25: Bollogun in the lineup. He is a rising star. He

2632
02:23:40,240 --> 02:23:44,440
Speaker 25: really could be the focal piece for this team if

2633
02:23:44,440 --> 02:23:46,560
Speaker 25: he continues to get more time and the rest of

2634
02:23:46,560 --> 02:23:49,080
Speaker 25: this team gels around him. But we will see now

2635
02:23:49,120 --> 02:23:51,120
Speaker 25: I don't usually talk a lot of women's soccer on

2636
02:23:51,160 --> 02:23:54,160
Speaker 25: the World of soccer. That's a bit of a blind

2637
02:23:54,200 --> 02:23:57,440
Speaker 25: spot for me. I don't follow the women's game as

2638
02:23:57,520 --> 02:23:59,680
Speaker 25: closely as I do a lot of the club side

2639
02:24:00,080 --> 02:24:03,000
Speaker 25: for men. I do know a lot of issues swirl

2640
02:24:03,040 --> 02:24:07,199
Speaker 25: around the women's game, especially now. There has been several players,

2641
02:24:07,240 --> 02:24:11,800
Speaker 25: including the great Alex Morgan, who have weighed in on

2642
02:24:11,879 --> 02:24:15,800
Speaker 25: a matter that quite honestly I didn't even think was

2643
02:24:15,840 --> 02:24:19,560
Speaker 25: too much of an issue, but has been swirling around

2644
02:24:19,600 --> 02:24:22,760
Speaker 25: for a bit, and that is how to retain talent.

2645
02:24:22,840 --> 02:24:23,000
Speaker 2: Now.

2646
02:24:23,000 --> 02:24:25,440
Speaker 25: This is something of a something we've talked about with

2647
02:24:25,640 --> 02:24:31,400
Speaker 25: MLS because, like MLS, NWSL National Women's Soccer League is

2648
02:24:31,600 --> 02:24:37,520
Speaker 25: a salary capped sport, unlike most other soccer in the world. However,

2649
02:24:37,760 --> 02:24:42,760
Speaker 25: unlike MLS, NWSL is kind of considered one of the top,

2650
02:24:43,200 --> 02:24:47,640
Speaker 25: if the not top women's club league in the world

2651
02:24:47,720 --> 02:24:50,680
Speaker 25: right now. It has been home to a tremendous amount

2652
02:24:50,760 --> 02:24:54,080
Speaker 25: of talent. It has always been a few steps ahead

2653
02:24:54,080 --> 02:24:58,119
Speaker 25: of its European counterparts when it comes to supporting women's clubs,

2654
02:24:58,720 --> 02:25:01,119
Speaker 25: especially since a lot of those and say Europe have

2655
02:25:01,200 --> 02:25:04,080
Speaker 25: to be tied to the hip to a men's club

2656
02:25:04,160 --> 02:25:08,000
Speaker 25: such as Real Madrid or Chelsea. But we've seen in

2657
02:25:08,040 --> 02:25:11,720
Speaker 25: the last few years the rising power and investment of

2658
02:25:11,760 --> 02:25:16,800
Speaker 25: those European clubs into their women's teams, and it's starting

2659
02:25:16,840 --> 02:25:19,480
Speaker 25: to become a bit of an issue to the point

2660
02:25:19,520 --> 02:25:23,520
Speaker 25: where Alex Morgan spoke about it, where talent is slowly

2661
02:25:23,600 --> 02:25:28,480
Speaker 25: starting to be drained from NWSL going over to places

2662
02:25:28,560 --> 02:25:32,840
Speaker 25: like Chelsea and Real Madrid and Barcelona. And some of

2663
02:25:32,840 --> 02:25:36,320
Speaker 25: those happen to play on the United States women's national team,

2664
02:25:36,400 --> 02:25:40,240
Speaker 25: such as Naomi Germa, who transferred to Chelsea in January

2665
02:25:40,560 --> 02:25:44,000
Speaker 25: for a one million dollar transfer fee. A twenty year

2666
02:25:44,040 --> 02:25:48,680
Speaker 25: old Alyssa Thompson transferred from Angel City FC to Chelsea

2667
02:25:48,840 --> 02:25:52,560
Speaker 25: as well this past week. And again always at the

2668
02:25:52,560 --> 02:25:54,840
Speaker 25: core of this, at the forefront of this is the

2669
02:25:54,840 --> 02:25:58,640
Speaker 25: fact that North American soccer leagues have a salary cap

2670
02:25:59,120 --> 02:26:03,480
Speaker 25: in line with the NBA, the NFL, the NHL and

2671
02:26:03,520 --> 02:26:06,439
Speaker 25: the rest of the world operates a lot more like baseball.

2672
02:26:06,520 --> 02:26:09,600
Speaker 25: Now there are the financial fair play rules over in Europe,

2673
02:26:09,840 --> 02:26:13,600
Speaker 25: but just by comparison, the NWSL salary cap in twenty

2674
02:26:13,640 --> 02:26:17,320
Speaker 25: twenty five is three point five million, and that will

2675
02:26:17,400 --> 02:26:20,920
Speaker 25: rise to five point one million by twenty twenty three.

2676
02:26:21,240 --> 02:26:25,400
Speaker 25: By comparison, the MLS's base salary cap, which is kind

2677
02:26:25,400 --> 02:26:28,560
Speaker 25: of a bit more of a confusing bug just because

2678
02:26:28,600 --> 02:26:32,720
Speaker 25: of what they have for designated players, is around just

2679
02:26:32,920 --> 02:26:34,119
Speaker 25: under six million.

2680
02:26:34,560 --> 02:26:34,720
Speaker 2: Now.

2681
02:26:34,720 --> 02:26:36,680
Speaker 12: There's a lot of consiserations.

2682
02:26:35,959 --> 02:26:38,160
Speaker 25: About why these numbers are there, but I feel like

2683
02:26:38,280 --> 02:26:41,640
Speaker 25: in soccer in North America more than other sports, it's

2684
02:26:41,680 --> 02:26:45,000
Speaker 25: there not as a competitive balance, but to keep make

2685
02:26:45,080 --> 02:26:49,080
Speaker 25: sure that these clubs don't spend themselves into oblivion at times,

2686
02:26:49,120 --> 02:26:53,000
Speaker 25: because we will see clubs sometimes overreach and get themselves

2687
02:26:53,040 --> 02:26:56,320
Speaker 25: in trouble, and that's a that is a tail that

2688
02:26:56,400 --> 02:26:59,440
Speaker 25: you can find across the lower levels of soccer in

2689
02:26:59,480 --> 02:27:02,600
Speaker 25: say England. But I also think it's becoming a bit

2690
02:27:02,680 --> 02:27:06,760
Speaker 25: of a stumbling block for NWSL. Again, I haven't looked

2691
02:27:06,800 --> 02:27:09,640
Speaker 25: too terribly deep into the subject, but I do know

2692
02:27:09,720 --> 02:27:13,680
Speaker 25: for powers like Chelsea and Real Madrid that they are

2693
02:27:14,160 --> 02:27:17,920
Speaker 25: flush with enough capital that they could very easily eclipse

2694
02:27:18,040 --> 02:27:20,640
Speaker 25: three point three million for their roster very easily and

2695
02:27:20,680 --> 02:27:22,840
Speaker 25: thus pull away talent. And that's to say nothing about

2696
02:27:22,920 --> 02:27:27,200
Speaker 25: women's specific clubs like London City Lionesses. It is suddenly

2697
02:27:27,280 --> 02:27:31,400
Speaker 25: a lot more of a competitive game for women's talent

2698
02:27:31,840 --> 02:27:36,080
Speaker 25: in Europe, and it's enough that I know multiple former

2699
02:27:36,360 --> 02:27:39,640
Speaker 25: United States women's national team players have spoken about it

2700
02:27:39,680 --> 02:27:42,320
Speaker 25: and call it a problem with the salary cap. The

2701
02:27:42,360 --> 02:27:45,080
Speaker 25: fact that there are a lot of teams out there

2702
02:27:45,160 --> 02:27:47,560
Speaker 25: who don't have to worry about it, who have more

2703
02:27:47,600 --> 02:27:51,920
Speaker 25: money and they're not going to be constrained by situations

2704
02:27:51,959 --> 02:27:55,560
Speaker 25: like a league trying to manage as many teams are

2705
02:27:55,560 --> 02:27:58,800
Speaker 25: in the NWSL. Now, there is still, of course no

2706
02:27:58,920 --> 02:28:01,560
Speaker 25: question in my mind at NWSL is one of the

2707
02:28:01,600 --> 02:28:04,840
Speaker 25: top women's leagues in the world, but in this case,

2708
02:28:04,879 --> 02:28:08,120
Speaker 25: where it's finally getting European clubs to sit up, pay

2709
02:28:08,160 --> 02:28:11,280
Speaker 25: attention and give money to their women's teams, it might

2710
02:28:11,320 --> 02:28:15,600
Speaker 25: be suffering from competitive success while not really having the

2711
02:28:15,640 --> 02:28:19,720
Speaker 25: financial power to really keep up. The men's club soccer

2712
02:28:19,800 --> 02:28:24,080
Speaker 25: side is back from the international break. The morning will

2713
02:28:24,120 --> 02:28:28,920
Speaker 25: be punctuated at eleven thirty am Eastern Time the Manchester Derby,

2714
02:28:28,959 --> 02:28:32,800
Speaker 25: the first of them between what is right now sixteenth

2715
02:28:32,879 --> 02:28:37,840
Speaker 25: place on the table, Manchester City against eleventh place Manchester United.

2716
02:28:37,840 --> 02:28:40,840
Speaker 25: Early in the season, MANU has four points, Manchester City

2717
02:28:40,879 --> 02:28:44,120
Speaker 25: has three. Either way, this isn't exactly the Manchester Derby

2718
02:28:44,120 --> 02:28:47,119
Speaker 25: of old, and neither of these teams are exactly in

2719
02:28:47,160 --> 02:28:50,800
Speaker 25: the best of moods, so this could be a very

2720
02:28:51,000 --> 02:28:54,480
Speaker 25: salty derby. I'm trying to think of any reason to

2721
02:28:54,520 --> 02:28:56,640
Speaker 25: really watch this one versus a lot of the other

2722
02:28:56,680 --> 02:28:57,760
Speaker 25: soccer games out there.

2723
02:28:57,840 --> 02:29:00,000
Speaker 12: But we'll see you next time on the World of Soccer.

2724
02:29:01,879 --> 02:29:04,720
Speaker 2: There you have it, World of Soccer, and as the

2725
02:29:04,800 --> 02:29:07,560
Speaker 2: year rolls on, and as we head into twenty twenty six,

2726
02:29:08,200 --> 02:29:11,280
Speaker 2: it will pick up steam because twenty twenty six is

2727
02:29:11,280 --> 02:29:13,800
Speaker 2: a World Cup year, and that's what launched this feature

2728
02:29:13,879 --> 02:29:18,360
Speaker 2: in the first place, was the World Cup. Coming up,

2729
02:29:18,400 --> 02:29:21,640
Speaker 2: we wrap up the show and we delve into a

2730
02:29:21,720 --> 02:29:27,760
Speaker 2: subject that is relevant. How worried should you be about

2731
02:29:27,840 --> 02:29:32,320
Speaker 2: certain teams the certain players after Week one? In other words,

2732
02:29:33,160 --> 02:29:37,320
Speaker 2: how big is the panic meter? I'll give you my opinions.

2733
02:29:37,360 --> 02:29:39,800
Speaker 2: Coming up, Hi, Bernie fraddle Wire, come to your line

2734
02:29:39,800 --> 02:29:43,600
Speaker 2: from Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Studios. Don't go away

2735
02:29:43,640 --> 02:29:45,760
Speaker 2: or listening to the Bernie Fraddles Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2736
02:29:46,240 --> 02:29:48,400
Speaker 2: All right, wrap it up on the Bernie Frattle Show.

2737
02:29:49,120 --> 02:29:53,680
Speaker 2: Much thanks to our producers Mark and Brianna. We are

2738
02:29:53,720 --> 02:29:59,320
Speaker 2: now seven hours and sixteen minutes away from NFL Week

2739
02:29:59,600 --> 02:30:02,600
Speaker 2: two and there's a thing we call the panic meter,

2740
02:30:03,200 --> 02:30:08,000
Speaker 2: because after Week one you form first impressions, and sometimes

2741
02:30:08,080 --> 02:30:13,600
Speaker 2: those impressions are justified, sometimes they're not. One bad game

2742
02:30:13,640 --> 02:30:18,600
Speaker 2: to start the year could sometimes be all it takes

2743
02:30:18,640 --> 02:30:20,640
Speaker 2: for a team just you know, to sap out any

2744
02:30:21,120 --> 02:30:26,320
Speaker 2: optimism whatever had been built up during the offseason. Now,

2745
02:30:26,320 --> 02:30:29,680
Speaker 2: I get it. Patience is always key, right, there's no

2746
02:30:29,720 --> 02:30:31,160
Speaker 2: diat I mean there have been teams zing two that

2747
02:30:31,280 --> 02:30:33,760
Speaker 2: made the playoffs, won the Super Bowl, teams owing three,

2748
02:30:33,760 --> 02:30:36,200
Speaker 2: even at San Diego Chargers team back in nineteen ninety

2749
02:30:36,240 --> 02:30:40,680
Speaker 2: two lost their first four games and still came back

2750
02:30:40,720 --> 02:30:46,240
Speaker 2: to go to the playoffs. Patience right, Well, if you're

2751
02:30:46,720 --> 02:30:49,720
Speaker 2: if patience is a virtue, then Dolphins fans are virtue

2752
02:30:49,760 --> 02:30:52,840
Speaker 2: alsos because on a scale of one to five, they're

2753
02:30:52,840 --> 02:30:58,879
Speaker 2: panic meters of five, it's a ten. Everything about the

2754
02:30:58,959 --> 02:31:05,080
Speaker 2: Dolphins in the offseason, heading into the season, and observing

2755
02:31:05,120 --> 02:31:10,200
Speaker 2: the very embarrassing blowout to the Colts Week one only

2756
02:31:10,280 --> 02:31:17,400
Speaker 2: amplifies the concerns by a factor of what ten. Everything

2757
02:31:17,440 --> 02:31:20,360
Speaker 2: about the Dolphins fell off heading into the season, and

2758
02:31:20,879 --> 02:31:23,280
Speaker 2: it's because the offensive line wasn't any better than it

2759
02:31:23,320 --> 02:31:27,680
Speaker 2: looked on paper. And this underwhelming performance, and now the

2760
02:31:27,720 --> 02:31:32,200
Speaker 2: Dolphins are dealing with multiple injuries, and you know, people

2761
02:31:32,240 --> 02:31:35,360
Speaker 2: were concerned about their secondary that was confirmed. They allowed

2762
02:31:35,440 --> 02:31:38,439
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones to throw for nine point four yards per attempt,

2763
02:31:38,600 --> 02:31:41,560
Speaker 2: his best mark in four years. More than anything else, though,

2764
02:31:42,440 --> 02:31:46,680
Speaker 2: what happened to Mike McDaniel's creative offense. It's gone dormant.

2765
02:31:47,440 --> 02:31:50,879
Speaker 2: He has no CounterPunch for any adjustments that opponents seem

2766
02:31:50,920 --> 02:31:53,680
Speaker 2: to make against him. And I've always been a to

2767
02:31:53,800 --> 02:31:56,640
Speaker 2: a guy I like tatage of a low. He looks lost.

2768
02:31:57,520 --> 02:31:59,720
Speaker 2: The Dolphins are on a fast track during you know,

2769
02:32:00,080 --> 02:32:06,040
Speaker 2: through a fire sale that the trade deadline, right, I

2770
02:32:06,120 --> 02:32:08,160
Speaker 2: always bugged me to talk about. You know, tank for

2771
02:32:08,160 --> 02:32:09,720
Speaker 2: two would suck for luck. How does that work out?

2772
02:32:09,720 --> 02:32:12,160
Speaker 2: It never seems to work out. But if the Dolphins

2773
02:32:12,160 --> 02:32:14,040
Speaker 2: don't watch it, they're gonna be a sneaky contender for

2774
02:32:14,080 --> 02:32:16,960
Speaker 2: the number one overall pick. That's just the way it

2775
02:32:17,040 --> 02:32:18,039
Speaker 2: is now.

2776
02:32:18,200 --> 02:32:18,440
Speaker 5: I know.

2777
02:32:19,280 --> 02:32:23,240
Speaker 2: Having said that, I'm on the Dolphins later today at

2778
02:32:23,280 --> 02:32:26,600
Speaker 2: home against the New England Patriots because I think they're

2779
02:32:26,600 --> 02:32:29,920
Speaker 2: gonna beat the Patriots. We'll see, don't do it because

2780
02:32:29,920 --> 02:32:32,200
Speaker 2: I did it. I'm just telling you where I put

2781
02:32:32,240 --> 02:32:36,440
Speaker 2: my money, I did. There are multiple reasons why. There

2782
02:32:36,440 --> 02:32:39,400
Speaker 2: are technical factors, and it's been my observation the Northeast

2783
02:32:39,400 --> 02:32:43,320
Speaker 2: teams come down to Florida in early September, mid September,

2784
02:32:43,360 --> 02:32:46,959
Speaker 2: and that they wilton that South Florida September heat. I

2785
02:32:47,000 --> 02:32:49,480
Speaker 2: even saw it happened to Brady and the Patriots when

2786
02:32:49,520 --> 02:32:52,000
Speaker 2: he was on the team. So I like the Dolphins,

2787
02:32:52,040 --> 02:32:56,400
Speaker 2: but it's time to panic. They can change that, but

2788
02:32:56,440 --> 02:32:59,280
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to do it on the field. Another

2789
02:32:59,320 --> 02:33:01,760
Speaker 2: panic meter. I'll give this a seven on a scale

2790
02:33:01,760 --> 02:33:07,640
Speaker 2: of one to ten. Caleb Williams Ben Johnson coming to

2791
02:33:07,760 --> 02:33:13,320
Speaker 2: Chicago was supposed to spark this major breakout for Caleb Williams. Now,

2792
02:33:13,840 --> 02:33:16,840
Speaker 2: if you judge him on the opening drive Monday Night

2793
02:33:16,879 --> 02:33:19,959
Speaker 2: against the Vikings, you're dancing in the aisles. It seemed

2794
02:33:19,959 --> 02:33:26,879
Speaker 2: like that's exactly what might be happening. Sometimes the light

2795
02:33:26,920 --> 02:33:28,960
Speaker 2: at the end of the tunnels an oncoming train, isn't it.

2796
02:33:29,000 --> 02:33:31,280
Speaker 2: The rest of the game looked like a train wreck.

2797
02:33:31,320 --> 02:33:33,720
Speaker 2: The Bears look like a drunk cross of a nicy street.

2798
02:33:34,879 --> 02:33:38,640
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams is a former number one overall pick. He

2799
02:33:38,760 --> 02:33:43,920
Speaker 2: finished the opener with eight incompletions charted as inaccurate passes

2800
02:33:44,200 --> 02:33:47,560
Speaker 2: means he just flat out missed guys, the worst among

2801
02:33:47,720 --> 02:33:53,840
Speaker 2: all quarterbacks in Week one according to Pro Football Focus. Now,

2802
02:33:55,040 --> 02:34:00,440
Speaker 2: I acknowledge that Caleb Williams has a lot of talent.

2803
02:34:01,680 --> 02:34:04,240
Speaker 2: Talent only takes you so far, and I'm not going

2804
02:34:04,320 --> 02:34:07,400
Speaker 2: to write off a guy with talent like that early

2805
02:34:07,440 --> 02:34:11,760
Speaker 2: in the second season. And this is essentially the first game.

2806
02:34:11,840 --> 02:34:14,680
Speaker 2: Having the support of a competent coaching staff and the

2807
02:34:14,760 --> 02:34:18,440
Speaker 2: Vikings defense poses a challenge. Steven veteran quarterbacks, right, and

2808
02:34:18,480 --> 02:34:23,840
Speaker 2: good quarterbacks. Yes, Williams has arm talent, Yes he can

2809
02:34:23,879 --> 02:34:29,920
Speaker 2: be creative, and yes he has elite athleticism. That doesn't

2810
02:34:29,959 --> 02:34:34,000
Speaker 2: necessarily make you a star at this level. You've got

2811
02:34:34,000 --> 02:34:37,120
Speaker 2: to refine your timing. Within Ben Johnson's offense, it's about

2812
02:34:37,160 --> 02:34:40,760
Speaker 2: scheme and adaptability, and he's got to be a lot

2813
02:34:40,840 --> 02:34:44,920
Speaker 2: more accurate. Now, there's nowhere to go but up with

2814
02:34:45,200 --> 02:34:49,520
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, and maybe he'll take some meaningful steps as

2815
02:34:49,520 --> 02:34:54,480
Speaker 2: this season goes on. But if you consider this, if

2816
02:34:54,520 --> 02:34:57,560
Speaker 2: you continue to see the same types of issues with

2817
02:34:57,640 --> 02:35:04,000
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams as we get into November, Let's say you

2818
02:35:04,080 --> 02:35:06,680
Speaker 2: got a major problem. If you've got a major problem

2819
02:35:07,320 --> 02:35:09,800
Speaker 2: because they're a play Look at how buttoned up cam

2820
02:35:09,840 --> 02:35:14,400
Speaker 2: Ward looked. He stepped right off the campus at Miami.

2821
02:35:15,600 --> 02:35:20,080
Speaker 2: He's Tennessee starting quarterback. He looks like he belongs. Bryce

2822
02:35:20,200 --> 02:35:22,040
Speaker 2: under was the same way with Michigan. No matter what

2823
02:35:22,160 --> 02:35:24,640
Speaker 2: is it for, these guys belong. Caleb Williams. I'm just

2824
02:35:24,680 --> 02:35:28,600
Speaker 2: not seen that you're not either. He's improvisational. He likes

2825
02:35:28,640 --> 02:35:32,400
Speaker 2: playground football. That doesn't work at the National Football League.

2826
02:35:33,040 --> 02:35:36,640
Speaker 2: Can you panic? Yeah? Sorry, I'm paid to have opinions.

2827
02:35:36,640 --> 02:35:38,680
Speaker 2: In my opinion is it's time to panic with this guy.

2828
02:35:39,000 --> 02:35:42,040
Speaker 2: Proved me wrong. It starts Sunday in Detroit. We'll see

2829
02:35:42,040 --> 02:35:46,760
Speaker 2: what he does now. I think the Houston Texans are

2830
02:35:46,760 --> 02:35:49,160
Speaker 2: a good team. Two years ago they were an up

2831
02:35:49,200 --> 02:35:52,040
Speaker 2: and coming good team. Last year they were a good team.

2832
02:35:52,200 --> 02:35:53,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if they've peaked or they're even going

2833
02:35:53,879 --> 02:35:56,640
Speaker 2: the other way. There's been nothing but good vibes around

2834
02:35:56,680 --> 02:36:00,480
Speaker 2: the Texans, and their offense is past offseason. They brought

2835
02:36:00,520 --> 02:36:03,080
Speaker 2: in a new offensive coordinator that was supposed to bring

2836
02:36:03,160 --> 02:36:08,720
Speaker 2: optimism because last season was a little frustrating. So Nick

2837
02:36:08,800 --> 02:36:12,720
Speaker 2: Cayley takes over and his system. You know, if they

2838
02:36:12,720 --> 02:36:15,120
Speaker 2: can clean up their issues in pass protection, there's reason

2839
02:36:15,120 --> 02:36:17,959
Speaker 2: to believe that C. J. Stroud would get back to

2840
02:36:18,000 --> 02:36:20,520
Speaker 2: the player he was two years ago. Combine that with

2841
02:36:20,560 --> 02:36:24,440
Speaker 2: a dominant defense, and all of a sudden, Houston maybe

2842
02:36:24,520 --> 02:36:28,600
Speaker 2: is a legitimate contender. That was all theoretical, and that's

2843
02:36:28,640 --> 02:36:31,840
Speaker 2: all logic on paper. They didn't score a single touchdown

2844
02:36:31,920 --> 02:36:34,000
Speaker 2: under season opening loss. That's not the best way to

2845
02:36:34,040 --> 02:36:38,959
Speaker 2: inspire confidence. Their offensive line resembled last year's unit too much.

2846
02:36:39,640 --> 02:36:44,320
Speaker 2: The yielded pressure on almost fifty percent of CG. Stroud's dropbacks. Still,

2847
02:36:44,400 --> 02:36:48,440
Speaker 2: one game against a good pass rush by the Rams

2848
02:36:48,640 --> 02:36:51,680
Speaker 2: does not a season make. Don't go into full scale panic.

2849
02:36:52,040 --> 02:36:54,400
Speaker 2: I'll give you a five out of ten panic. Stroud

2850
02:36:54,440 --> 02:36:56,440
Speaker 2: looked good when he faced pressure. He's eight of eleven

2851
02:36:56,440 --> 02:36:59,280
Speaker 2: for seventy nine yards, and he wasn't shy about taking

2852
02:36:59,320 --> 02:37:02,360
Speaker 2: off as a runner. Probably a matter of time before

2853
02:37:02,440 --> 02:37:06,199
Speaker 2: Nico Collins gets going, and maybe this offense can take off. However,

2854
02:37:06,280 --> 02:37:09,920
Speaker 2: houston ceiling is going to be capped if their offensive

2855
02:37:09,920 --> 02:37:13,680
Speaker 2: line doesn't make meaningful improvements. That's a very much wait

2856
02:37:13,720 --> 02:37:19,000
Speaker 2: and see situation. Everything in football is blocking and tackling.

2857
02:37:19,040 --> 02:37:22,160
Speaker 2: The rest of details. I'm a big Bryce Young fan.

2858
02:37:22,480 --> 02:37:24,640
Speaker 2: I was a fan at modern day fan at Alabama.

2859
02:37:24,959 --> 02:37:28,480
Speaker 2: This is supposed to be Bryce Young's breakout campaign. Again,

2860
02:37:28,560 --> 02:37:31,600
Speaker 2: He's an also a number of former number one campaign

2861
02:37:32,360 --> 02:37:35,920
Speaker 2: Excuse me. He was supposed to take a major step

2862
02:37:35,920 --> 02:37:39,360
Speaker 2: in the right direction. He got bench briefly last year,

2863
02:37:39,640 --> 02:37:42,560
Speaker 2: but came back and flashed a lot of great playmaking

2864
02:37:42,600 --> 02:37:45,120
Speaker 2: traits that made him the kind of exciting prospect he

2865
02:37:45,200 --> 02:37:47,720
Speaker 2: was coming out of Bama. From Week twelve through the

2866
02:37:47,760 --> 02:37:50,879
Speaker 2: end of the season, Young was tied with Patrick Maholmes

2867
02:37:50,879 --> 02:37:55,120
Speaker 2: for thirteenth best performance by EPA dropback. Now he's in

2868
02:37:55,200 --> 02:37:58,920
Speaker 2: year two in Dave Canal's offense, you assumed he'd grow,

2869
02:37:59,200 --> 02:38:03,959
Speaker 2: but Sundy's open was a crucier reminder that well development

2870
02:38:04,000 --> 02:38:07,600
Speaker 2: improvement isn't always on a straight line. The Jaguars have

2871
02:38:07,640 --> 02:38:11,480
Speaker 2: a suspect defense. Bryce Young couldn't take advantage. He only

2872
02:38:11,480 --> 02:38:13,920
Speaker 2: completed eighteen to thirty five for one point fifty four

2873
02:38:14,000 --> 02:38:17,800
Speaker 2: and a touchdown in two interceptions. I still think Bryce

2874
02:38:17,840 --> 02:38:21,879
Speaker 2: Young could be a good quarterback in this league, but

2875
02:38:22,000 --> 02:38:24,320
Speaker 2: now's the time to get the ball rolling because you

2876
02:38:24,360 --> 02:38:28,240
Speaker 2: can panic. Finally, the Bengals, the Bengals narrowly avoided another

2877
02:38:28,240 --> 02:38:31,080
Speaker 2: Week one disaster. They barely edged the Browns seventeen to sixteen.

2878
02:38:31,120 --> 02:38:33,160
Speaker 2: On one hand, a win is a win is a win.

2879
02:38:33,600 --> 02:38:36,360
Speaker 2: Cincinnati opens the year with the victory only the second

2880
02:38:36,400 --> 02:38:40,400
Speaker 2: time in Zach Taylor's seven seasons. On the other hand,

2881
02:38:40,440 --> 02:38:43,640
Speaker 2: it's kind of tough to convince yourself that legitimate contender

2882
02:38:44,360 --> 02:38:48,320
Speaker 2: would look that bad against the Browns. Now. The defense

2883
02:38:48,400 --> 02:38:51,760
Speaker 2: dominated the conversation around Cincinnati through the off season, but

2884
02:38:51,840 --> 02:38:54,600
Speaker 2: it was the offense that struggled. In Cleveland. Only the

2885
02:38:54,640 --> 02:38:57,800
Speaker 2: Titans manage few yards in the Bengals in Week one,

2886
02:38:58,000 --> 02:39:00,880
Speaker 2: Bengals had one hundred and forty one yards. You got

2887
02:39:00,920 --> 02:39:03,320
Speaker 2: Jo Burrow, you got Jamar Chase, you got t Higgins.

2888
02:39:03,720 --> 02:39:07,480
Speaker 2: Wake up, Bengals, Wake up. We have a good idea

2889
02:39:07,480 --> 02:39:09,520
Speaker 2: how the Bengals will be about four weeks from now.

2890
02:39:09,879 --> 02:39:12,879
Speaker 2: But some Bengals fans are gonna panic. And for my

2891
02:39:12,959 --> 02:39:15,360
Speaker 2: way of thinking, I don't think you can really claim

2892
02:39:15,400 --> 02:39:17,640
Speaker 2: them blame them. It's gonna do it for the Bernie

2893
02:39:17,640 --> 02:39:20,360
Speaker 2: Frattle Show, We'll see you next week. Keep it locked

2894
02:39:20,440 --> 02:39:23,320
Speaker 2: up next to the Great Andy Furman on Fox Sports Radio.
