9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 2: We're just halfway through it. We're just getting started. And

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: you know, movie producers, movie scriptwriters, they wrap their brains

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: and they're paid big money to come up with storylines

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: to keep your riveted. And one of the most difficult

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: things to do, of course, is to come up with

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: a great movie ending that will pay off the the

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: you know, the story from A to Z. And that

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: is why you've heard me say it a thousand times

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: and I'll say it again. Sports continue to be the

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: greatest reality invented, and you can script everything but the ending,

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: and a lot of times what I talk about on

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: Friday night can spill over into Saturday as we speculate storylines.

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 2: And there were a ton of college football games today.

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: But when you look at three marquee games that were

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: most I would say these three, by far were paid

24
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: attention to more than any other of all of them.

25
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: How's that for some broken English? To start the show,

26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: one particular school pocketed one point four million. Then they

27
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: pocketed a victory, the biggest victory in school history, and

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: completely undone. What Notre Dame did the Texas A and

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: M last week. We're going to get to that a

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: little bit later. Then, of course, we spent a fair

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: amount of time on Dion Sanders coach or caricature, what's

32
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: going on with the program? Nebraska exacted big time revenge

33
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: that one of our callers that leads off my midnight hour,

34
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: Jim in Massachusetts, who I respect tremendously. We respectfully disagreed.

35
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: I thought Nebraska would win by ten. He thought Colorado

36
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: would win. I was wrong. Nebraska won by eighteen, and

37
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: it could have been worse that. That really wasn't an

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: indicator to the score, but the school. The matchup that

39
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: I'm closest to I was in Michigan in August sixth.

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: I'm still very close to that program. I've maintained all

41
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: my ties and I was told by some people, here's

42
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: what to expect this year. There were three things. One,

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: we're going to have a very good defensive front seven

44
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: and we've got Will Johnson, the best cornerback in football

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: in college football. Two we've got to start out the

46
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: quarterback situation, but we think we'll be okay. Three, we

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of depth. The reason Michigan did

48
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: so well last year. You saw some poor tackling in

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: the game. They don't have the depth they had, not

50
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: even close. That was his tell. That was his tell

51
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: when he said two of the three things were relatively okay, stable, neutral,

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: but the third one don't have a lot of depth.

53
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 2: That told you everything. Texas dominated Michigan. They rode Michigan

54
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: like a stickhorse. That's just the way it was. The

55
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: National champ is done and we're barely out of Labor

56
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: Day a weekend, and I'm not saying her done for

57
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: this year. They can still, I mean, in this new world,

58
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: but you're gonna have the Trojans on the schedule, and

59
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: you're gonna have Oregon, and you're gonna have Old House stayed.

60
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: And I don't like their chances. And I'll tell you

61
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: the Michigan faithful, they're all you jumping ship on Shoan Moore.

62
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: I'm not going down that road. But you saw what

63
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: the issues were. And Davis Warren, he's got a fabulous

64
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: personal story. It turns out, you know, Alex Orgie, they

65
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: tried to head them the job. You know, let's not

66
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: go down that road again. What I want to talk

67
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: about is what happened Saturday and ann Arbor in the

68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: Big House and to a lot of Michigan folks who

69
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: do honestly believe good people think it's their god given

70
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: right to just win games. Well, Saturday had to be

71
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: a bitter pill to swallow, because you're never gonna like

72
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: the way you lose. You're never gonna like the way

73
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: you lose. But this one was a particularly egregious because

74
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: right from the jump Texas completely controlled the game. Period

75
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: they imposed their will on Michigan. Score could have been

76
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: a lot worse. They had a touchdown callback, Michigan's excuse me,

77
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: touchdown at the end meant nothing, So thirty one to

78
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: twelve didn't sound as bad as maybe thirty eight to

79
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: three or something like that, which you more felt like.

80
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: And look, even Texas came out of the gay little jump.

81
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: He had some false start calls, got a field goal,

82
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: but then once they got going, Texas did whatever they

83
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: wanted to offensively, and the Longhorns on the other side

84
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: of the ball completely stuffed the Michigan offense. The Michigan

85
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: offense looked lack luster period. It was clear Stevie Wonder

86
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: could see Texas was the much better team, much more

87
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: prepared for the big game. I get it, Michigan lost

88
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: a lot of talent from last season. I also returned

89
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: a few star players, and they shouldn't look the way

90
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: they look. Michigan lost thirteen players to the NFL last year.

91
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 2: Get somebody, Texas lost eleven. Why did Michigan rebuild? There

92
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 2: are gonna be questions as the season goes on. Give

93
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: your More a chance to do his jobb he earn

94
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: the right, But I don't like what I'm seeing. Again,

95
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: You're not gonna like the way you lose. But this

96
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: is really bothersome. Luckily for Michigan, it's only Week two,

97
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: and the beauty of it is it doesn't affect the

98
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: Big Ten Conference. The Wolverinees goals are still ahead of them,

99
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: but I don't see it in the cookie jar number two.

100
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: Michigan's defensive line really didn't live up to their building. Now,

101
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: for that, I will give Texas offensive line a lot

102
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: of credit because they're better than you really realize. The

103
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: Longhorns run game, even down to two running backs, their

104
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,679
Speaker 2: top two running backs are out look tremendous against Michigan.

105
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: It's very hard to stop Texas's passing game, and you

106
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: can't make them one dimensional. When you can't slow down

107
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: the run game. When you've got the kind of speed

108
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: and space that Texas has, it opens up running lanes

109
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: and Texas took advantage. Now, last week, Michigan held Fresno

110
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 2: State to nine rushing yards. No, this was not Fresno State.

111
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 2: With all due respect to Fresno State. Not only was

112
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: the run game effective for the Longhorns, quinn Ewers wasn't

113
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: even sacked one single time. He wasn't even pressured that much.

114
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: Go back and watch the game. I don't even think

115
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: they have the washers uniform. There were three quarterback hurries

116
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 2: the entire game, if you want to call them that,

117
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 2: and two of them were in the fourth quarter when

118
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: they were just mailing out the clock. Again, for as

119
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: much talent as Michigan returned on defense. They did not

120
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: like they had last year, but they did. They did

121
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 2: not live up to their billing. There were actually people

122
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: that picked Michigan to win. I was not one of them,

123
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: all right. Michigan's secondary was roasted, partly thanks to the

124
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: fact that the D line couldn't get home, couldn't get

125
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: much push or pressure. Quinn Ewers had a tremendous day

126
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: picking apart the Michigan secretary the secondary. Excuse me, Queen

127
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,559
Speaker 2: yours is now a veteran. You're gonna give him time

128
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: to survey the field. He's got a lot of arm angles.

129
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: And the truth of the matter is he picked on

130
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: this one poor player for Michigan, a sophomore by the

131
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: name of jier Hill. He was only starting a second game.

132
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: It was a player who allowed the initial third and

133
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: fifteen on the first down of the first drive of

134
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: the game. He never fully recovered back on offense. Michigan

135
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: was terrible on third down. Now again, when I was

136
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: on with Aaron and VJ last week, I said Monday,

137
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: I said, Michigan got spoiled by j JJ McCarthy. He

138
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: wasn't asked to do a lot. But when he was.

139
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: He came through. McCarthy was a wizard on third down,

140
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: He was a wizard in the red zone. He was

141
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: a wizard in the fourth quarter. Michigan had none of that.

142
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: It was a game of third downs and the Wolverines

143
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: couldn't get any. However, Texas made a living on third

144
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: downs on Michigan's defense. It didn't matter. Long runs were

145
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: ten or fifteen on third down, including two conversions of

146
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: more than ten yards. The first drive of the game,

147
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: it basically told the whole story. Texas goes down. Score

148
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: was on an open drive field goal, but you get

149
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: a touchdown call back. The Longhorns converted three first downs,

150
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: including a third and fifteen. The tone was set right

151
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: there finally, and everybody can see this. I think it's

152
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: fair Michigan has a major quarterback problem. Now. They have

153
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: more issues than just quarterback. But after Wolverine fans were

154
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: completely spoiled by JJ McCarthy, who went twenty seven to one,

155
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: it's pretty clear Michigan doesn't have a succession plan right

156
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: now to have anything close to what McCarthy was. They've

157
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: officially returned back to the Jake Rudolph Wilton Spate era

158
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: of twenty fifteen Harbaugh's first year, except these guys are

159
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: not as good as those guys were. Now in the

160
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, Davis Warren got into a little bit of

161
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: a role, but Texas was allowing for chunk plays. They

162
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: do this in the NFL, where they'll play deep, they'll

163
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: funnel everything to the middle of the field. They'll give

164
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 2: you seven, eight, nine yard completions. All you're doing is

165
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: running clock, so you can get the hell out of there.

166
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 2: Warren is he's nowhere near his ceiling. He's going to

167
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: be better than you think. But he's going to be

168
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: a game manager, which is okay, okay if the run

169
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: game and the defense are gonna be great, but there's

170
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: major concerns about both of those after the first two weeks.

171
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: Donovan Edwards hasn't exactly run the ball well. Neither have

172
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: the Wolverines, so Michigan's gonna have to show they can

173
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: get things going through the air for teams not to

174
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: stack the box against the run. And then again, Davis

175
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: Warren missed an open Somaji Morgan during the two minute

176
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: drill in the first half, and then Colston Lovelin fumbled

177
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: the ball away to Texas. Fortunately, Michigan might get healthy.

178
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: Next week, they get Arkansas State on the docket at

179
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: home and they maybe can figure things out and you know,

180
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: get no rest for the wicked USC comes in the

181
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: following week. So you're not gonna like the way you lose, ever,

182
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: but the way Michigan lost is particularly bothersome. Now, after

183
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour, we are going to get

184
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: in to the Colorado game and Dion very much, and

185
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna get into Northern Illinois and Notre Dame. And

186
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: I cannot believe how people are bashing Marcus Freeman. They

187
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: want him fired. Okay, can we pump the brakes a

188
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: little bit, Although if you're Notre Dame fans, you're gonna

189
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: be a little chippy because this is the third time

190
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: in the past two years that Notre Dame has lost

191
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: at home as a massive favorite. Twice in twenty twenty two,

192
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: they were a twenty point favorite against Marshall lost twenty

193
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: six to twenty one. Later that season, they were a

194
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: sixteen point favorite against Stanford, lost sixteen to fourteen. Coincidentally,

195
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 2: not ironically, irony is when the firehouse is burning down. Coincidentally,

196
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: they lost by the same score Saturday to Northern Illinois

197
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: as a twenty eight point favorite. That's a total of

198
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: sixty four points. Is a favorite at home in the

199
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: last two years. And Notre Dame was lost out right

200
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: not good. You never like the way you lose. But

201
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 2: we're gonna get back into that after the bottom of

202
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: the hour. But I want to bring in a gentleman,

203
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: a good friend of mine, spent twenty years at ESPN.

204
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: We have to dive into the NFL. There are all

205
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: kinds of storylines as we are less than ten hours

206
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: check that, twelve hours away from our first slate of

207
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: Sunday games. So many storylines. What's really going on with

208
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: Jordan loves Yeah? Three weeks or six weeks? How did

209
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson? I don't know what happened. He was listened

210
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: as questionable, which means nothing. Now I'm hearing he's not

211
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: starting Sunday. We gotta talk about the Jets. We got

Speaker 2: veteran of VESPN left about a year and a half

239
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: ago to join the Pro Football Network as their chief

240
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: content officer, and all of our phone conversations they get

241
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: so candid and good. I said, why can't we do

242
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: this on the air. He's been on the show once,

243
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: but we got to get him on more often. Say

244
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: hello to David Berman, David, how are you, Buddy good Bernie?

245
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 7: Happy to be on. I know we talk about it

246
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 7: a lot, and I'm happy to be here on the

247
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 7: eave of the season.

248
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: How things out West, Everything's wonderful, and yes, I'm happy

249
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: to have you, and We'll got to do it more often.

250
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: But I want to dive in because we're we're less

251
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 2: now than eleven hours from kickoff or first football full

252
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 2: Slate Sunday, and just in the last twenty four hours

253
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: in the news cycle, there are more updates. It's start

254
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 2: with Jordan Love. There's reports all around the map. What

255
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: are your senses tell you? Is he more likely to

256
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 2: be out three weeks or more likely to be out

257
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: six weeks? That's a big difference.

258
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 7: In my book, it is a big difference. And I

259
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 7: think for Green Bay fans out there, and of course

260
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 7: fantasy people who have Jordan Love on their team, I

261
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 7: have them on one of my teams. I think they

262
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 7: dodged the bullet that looked really bad at the end there.

263
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 7: And I don't think he's going to be out too

264
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 7: too long. And three to six weeks is the difference.

265
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 7: I've been told it's probably going to hit right in

266
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 7: the middle of four or five weeks. I don't think

267
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 7: it'll be as long as six, but it should be

268
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 7: longer than three. And obviously it all depends on how

269
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 7: the knee bounce is back. It didn't look good, but

270
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 7: he did escape any major acl injuries. But with the knee,

271
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 7: it's all depending on how the ligaments are. And you know,

272
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 7: I think every one of us have done something to

273
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 7: our knee one time in our athletic life. You know,

274
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 7: when I told my meniscus, I was out a lot

275
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 7: longer than Adrian Peterson was, so he suffered to me.

276
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 7: And you would hope that Jordan Love, we'll be able

277
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 7: to bounce back fat. I like that timeline. I don't

278
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 7: think it'll be anywhere near the long end of it.

279
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 7: I expect to miss about a month. I'm not a doctor,

280
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 7: I'm not a trainer, but it looks like he dodged

281
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 7: what looked to be a much worse injury than it

282
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 7: actually wounded up being.

283
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so to injury he happened at the end

284
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: of the game to fly home on a loss. And

285
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: I was just in Green Bay last month and they

286
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: were so enthusiastic. But such his life in the NFL.

287
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 2: How about the Steelers and Russell Wilson. I am not

288
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: a justin fields guy. I can list all the reasons why,

289
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: but all of a sudden, out of nowhere, here I guess.

290
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: Here's my question. Is it true that Russell Wilson is

291
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: not starting? And if so, why not? Because he was

292
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: listed as questionable some kind of calf injury or something.

293
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden, I hear something today that

294
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: he's out Week one. Is that report true? And what

295
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: can you tell us?

296
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 7: It hasn't been officially ruled out. Russell Wilson is dealing

297
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 7: with a calf injury. He was limited all week in practice.

298
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 7: The latest that I have heard is that he's going

299
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 7: to try to give it a go. But that doesn't

300
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 7: mean the team's willing to give it a go. Russ

301
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 7: wants to play, Russ wants to test the calf out.

302
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 7: I have a feeling that decision has already been made

303
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 7: because Justin Fields has gotten first team reps this week

304
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 7: that you'll see Justin Fields week one. Ultimately, I'm with you.

305
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 7: I'm not a big fan of not only Justin but

306
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 7: I don't think Russell Wilson's the old Russell Wilson of

307
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 7: old as we've seen the last couple of years in Denver.

308
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 7: I think Pittsburgh has a problem here because not only

309
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 7: do you have two quarterbacks that are not performing anywhere

310
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 7: near what we thought they would be in Fields and Wilson,

311
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 7: you got a potential controversy between the two of them

312
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 7: wanting to start. Russ was named the starter. Russ didn't

313
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 7: practice this week. All of a sudden, Fields is going

314
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 7: to start. Russ says he wants to go, he want

315
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 7: to give it a go, but the team may hold back.

316
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 7: Now you're talking about a controversy, and listen, all the

317
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 7: years that we've watched the National Football League, there's plenty

318
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 7: of controversies to talk about. There's one team that has

319
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 7: escaped most of them, and that's the Pittsburgh Steelers. They've

320
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 7: been steady with the owner, they've been steady with the

321
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 7: head coaches. Only two head coaches in the last three

322
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 7: head coaches in the last forty five fifty years, and

323
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 7: they've been steady with quarterbacks from Bradshaw to Big Ben

324
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 7: and anybody between. There hasn't been the whole food coach

325
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 7: on the hot seat order selling the team who's going

326
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 7: to be the quarterback. That just doesn't happen in Pittsburgh.

327
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 7: It doesn't. And now you have a situation where you

328
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 7: may not know who the starter is week to week,

329
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 7: and that's not something Steeler fans.

330
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 8: Are used to do.

331
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 7: You have a question, just call me, as a Dolphins

332
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 7: guy for the last million years. You've got a quarterback problem,

333
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 7: I'll tell you how to work through it. But to

334
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 7: see justin Fields later, today, tomorrow, whatever time's on your end.

335
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 7: And Russell's not going to be happy about it, because

336
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 7: it's the best thing for the Wheelers is for Russ

337
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 7: to test it out and think you can't go and

338
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 7: then you have no problem with who the quarterback is.

339
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 7: But Rust seems to want to give it a go,

340
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 7: which may cost some issues in the Steel City.

341
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: So more than meets the eye, they're not too different

342
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: than the Jets. We've got to talk about the Jets.

343
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to fast forward our weekend. I'm really

344
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 2: looking forward to the game Sunday and Sunday night game

345
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: rams lines. But there's an interesting side story Monday night

346
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: in San Francisco. As you recall, Leonard Floyd was the

347
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: defensive end who was playing last year who sacked Aaron

348
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: Rodgers and caused the knee injury as it were, and

349
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: killed Green Bay season. Well, guess who's starting at defensive

350
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 2: end for the forty nine ers Leonard Floyd, And he's

351
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: already said he wants to tackle Aaron Rodgers. But I'm

352
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: getting ahead of myself. What's your outlook on the Jets,

353
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: because quite honestly, David, I believe you'd agree with this.

354
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 2: On paper, They've got an elite defense and with less

355
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: than below average quarterback play last year, they managed seven victories.

356
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: If you just get a reasonable fact similey of Aaron Rodgers,

357
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 2: they can get that to ten wins. That's a big if. Okay,

358
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: it's a big if. Your thoughts on the Jets and

359
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: what's reality?

360
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 7: I think that the Jets is the most intriguing question

361
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 7: of the NFL season as we're on the eave of it,

362
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 7: because I've been asked this question on a dozen different shows.

363
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 7: By definition, you're having an upgraded quarterback. Aaron Rodgers played

364
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 7: four plays last year, So as long as he gets

365
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 7: through somewhat of the first quarter on Monday Night, he'll

366
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 7: have already been further than he was the year before.

367
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 7: On paper, this defense is a top five defense. They've

368
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 7: added some more weapons on offense. If you get Aaron Rodgers,

369
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 7: this team should go from your seven wins to a

370
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 7: playoff contender. But I'm not ready to put them in

371
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 7: the race with the Dolphins and the Bills to win

372
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 7: the division and as being a contender to win the

373
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 7: A because I think people have a short memory when

374
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 7: it comes to Aaron Rodgers. The last time we saw

375
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 7: a real Aaron Rodgers play, let's throw last year out

376
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 7: the window. He was was not making the playoffs, with

377
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 7: Green Bay losing in Week seventeen, not making the playoffs

378
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 7: and not having an Aaron Rodgers MVP season. Now he

379
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 7: gets shipped off to New York. Everyone's like New York

380
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers, this is the big stories. He's gonna be gray,

381
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 7: You're gonna take the Jets of the Promised Land and

382
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 7: gets injured. You don't see him the whole year. We

383
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 7: talked about him non stop. The last time we actually

384
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 7: saw Aaron Rodgers in a full season, he was not

385
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 7: MVP Aaron Rodgers. He was rolled Aaron Rodgers. And now

386
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 7: he's two years older. As only one quarterback in the

387
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 7: history of the National Football League who has done anything

388
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 7: remotely good at age forty or older as a quarterback,

389
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 7: and we all know that's Tom Bray. So you're not

390
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 7: going to get an MVP Aaron Rodgers. Let's throw that

391
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 7: out the windows. So that's what you need, super is

392
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 7: an MVP quarterback of Pat Mahomes, et cetera, et cetera.

393
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 7: I think the Jets will be better. The Jets will

394
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 7: win nine to ten games, get a wild card spot.

395
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 7: You never know what happened with the Bills and the Dolphins,

396
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 7: and potentially could be in the race for the division

397
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 7: if neither one of the team. Remember last year, the

398
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 7: AFC East was one with eleven wins. It wasn't like

399
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 7: it was, you know, thirteen or fourteen. But I would

400
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 7: hold if I'm a Jets fan, I'd be optimistic they're

401
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 7: going to be better, but I wouldn't start printing tickets

402
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 7: to a parade down Broadway just yet.

403
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: Talking with David Berriman Pro Football Network. As we moved

404
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: right along, we've got the Soap Opera Bowl in Cleveland.

405
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 2: Don't know what's going to happen with the Sean Watson

406
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: waiting to see that. But moreover, Dallas after three twelve

407
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 2: win seasons, my opinion, David, they're going off a cliff

408
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: this year. They're a nine win team, maybe an eight

409
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: win team.

410
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 7: Your thoughts, I won't go that far, but I don't

411
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 7: think you're going to have what you saw last year,

412
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 7: which was a Dallas Cowboy team somehow steal the division

413
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 7: from the Evil. I think the Eagles go ahead and

414
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 7: win that division. The Cowboys make the playoffs as a

415
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 7: five six or seventy as a wild card. I have

416
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 7: them penciled in at ten eleven. The number I have

417
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 7: is ten and a half for the Cowboys. There's just

418
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 7: too much talent for this team to not win ten

419
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 7: or more games. Now, you never know, Dak could get

420
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 7: injured or see Lamb and all of a sudden you

421
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 7: hit that clip that you're talking about. There's just when

422
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 7: you go roster by roster by roster, this team is

423
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 7: way too talented to not win ten or more games.

424
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 7: It's just it between you're.

425
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 2: Dead on, you're dead on, But what bothers me? Not

426
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: just two and five in the playoffs with act there

427
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 2: were four and five on the road last year. Continue

428
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 2: on and you're right.

429
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 7: You're absolutely right. There are roadblocks there. They're four and

430
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 7: five on the road last year and they still won

431
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 7: twelve games in a division title. It's yeah, and you

432
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 7: know McCarthy's a super Bowl winning coach, and you got,

433
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 7: you know, an organization that is that is used to

434
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 7: being there. I'm not willing to say that they're a

435
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 7: super Bowl team, but I think they're going to. They

436
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 7: are who they are. They're a talented team with a

437
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 7: coach that can win regular season games well a quarterback

438
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 7: who has proven to win regular season games. And then

439
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 7: you're gonna have the same old adage. They get to

440
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 7: the playoffs and lose in the first or second round,

441
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 7: and then you have a coach that doesn't have a

442
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 7: contract and a quarterback who may not have a contract,

443
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 7: and it's the soap opera that as the world turns

444
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 7: in Dallas, I think it's just rinse and repeat, and

445
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 7: this is what Jerry has until he makes wholesale changes,

446
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 7: which could include himself. You're gonna have a talented roster

447
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 7: every single year with a big name coach and a

448
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 7: big name quarterback that's gonna win ten FUS games, but

449
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 7: not have the secret sauce to take it any further

450
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 7: unless everything adds up to them and they all have

451
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 7: great seasons and all of a sudden they figure it out.

452
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 7: I think their weakness is obviously running back right now

453
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 7: that they have the talent on both sides of the

454
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 7: ball to make it deep run, they just don't.

455
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: David just got a minute, but talk about Jamar Chase.

456
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: A deal looks unlikely totally. He might see the field Sunday,

457
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 2: but his role will be limited. What's happening with Jamar Chase.

458
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 7: He wants his money, he wants his bag. He's now

459
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 7: seen with the it is with See Lamb and Justin

460
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 7: Jefferson and Tyreek Hill, and he wants to be paid accordingly.

461
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 7: And he's going to try to play that game. But

462
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 7: as you saw, he played in practice late last week

463
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 7: and I think he's going to suit up, but he

464
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 7: has not been there enough to warrant one hundred percent

465
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 7: of the stats. I think you'll see him at a

466
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 7: limited capacity if I'm a Bengals san I'm just hopeful

467
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 7: that and glad that they're playing in the nilam Patriots.

468
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 7: We're going to be one of the worst teams in

469
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 7: football this year. Things I wish I could have said

470
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 7: any of the time over the last twenty years. But

471
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 7: I think you get a situation where the Bengals just

472
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 7: want to win in the dance and then deal with

473
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 7: Higgins and Chase next week.

474
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 2: Well said David. Great stuff is always get some rest

475
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 2: of my man, and let's get you back on after

476
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: the season gets rolling so we can follow up and

477
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: see where things are.

478
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 7: Would love to make sure tell all your listeners are

479
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 7: go to Pro Football Network for all of their football

480
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 7: fantasy vetting, and NFL News will be there all day

481
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 7: tomorrow with his staff all day long producing content.

482
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 2: There you have it, Joy your football, sunny, David, Thanks

483
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: you chairman, Thanks for twenty years at ESPN. As you

484
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 2: can see, he's candid, doesn't pull punches, and there are

485
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 2: a lot of unanswered questions Sunday. That's part of the

486
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: reason we're watching. Colorado had three questions heading into Nebraska

487
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: last night. Wouldn't they be able to confuse freshman quarterback

488
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 2: Dylan Roola. Would they be able to win the turnover battle,

489
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 2: would they finally establish some summits of a running game?

490
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 2: Guess what? They went zero for three. We'll talk about

491
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 2: it coming up, but first we go to our guy,

492
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: the chef, Kevin Wyre, with the latest.

493
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 9: Yes, Bernie, college football is back. We are in week two,

494
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 9: so we're starting to get into the full swing of things,

495
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 9: and we do have one game still going on around

496
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 9: the country. It may as well be over at this point.

497
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 9: This thirteenth rank USC shutting out Utah State forty eight nothing.

498
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 9: They've got two minutes to go. This game was delayed

499
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 9: because of a power outage at the coliseum, so that's

500
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 9: why they're still going late into the night over there

501
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 9: in Los Angeles. Everything else has on final just going final.

502
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 9: A few minutes ago, Arizona State holding off Mississippi State

503
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 9: in Tempe thirty to twenty three, and Oregon in the

504
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 9: Ducks having to escape against Boise State. They had to

505
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 9: line up and try a last second field goal.

506
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 10: Snap, good placement, good kick on the way, it's good,

507
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 10: penally flave down, look like the Broad Coast Life.

508
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 4: Have jumped off fight.

509
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: In the initial idea that's it.

510
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 10: Oregon has won their first game against Boise State in

511
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 10: four tries in a most dramatic fashion, great defensive stops

512
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 10: and a drive that gave him a great field goal

513
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 10: effort at the end it sapping and knocks it through

514
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 10: for twenty five yards and Oregon is two to zero

515
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 10: in that win column.

516
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 9: That was the Oregon Sports Network from lear Field there

517
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 9: with a call as the Ducks get by Boise State

518
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 9: thirty seven thirty four. So that's a second week in

519
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 9: a row in which Oregon has had to come back

520
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 9: against a team they were favored against. And Notre Dame

521
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 9: Northern Illinois, this one resulted in the biggest program win

522
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 9: in program history.

523
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 11: Snap Pole Jeters kick this fuck it fucked fuck.

524
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 8: Picked up.

525
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 11: Bestays put the biggest upset and au history.

526
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 9: That was the Northern Illinois Sports Network a final minute

527
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 9: field goal to lift them over Notre Dame sixteen to fourteen.

528
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 9: It was a big matchup third ranked Texas tenth ranked Michigan,

529
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 9: and this one was a bit of a blowout. I

530
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 9: mean Texas show and they're for real thirty one to twelve.

531
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 9: The Longhorns win this one.

532
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 4: Number eight.

533
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 9: Penn State comes from behind win to beat Bowling Green

534
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 9: thirty four to twenty seven Number fourteen Tennessee fifty one

535
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 9: to ten winners at number twenty four NC State, Fifteenth

536
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 9: ranked Oklahoma survives a sixteen to twelve win against Houston,

537
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 9: Number sixteen Oklahoma State in two overtimes. They win it

538
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 9: against Arkansas thirty nine to thirty one, Number seventeen Kansas State.

539
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 9: They took a lead on a fourth quarter fumble return

540
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 9: for a touchdown to beat two Lane thirty four to

541
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 9: twenty seven, getting an interception in the end zone to

542
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 9: hold off a comeback attempt by the Green Wave there

543
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 9: in the final seconds. Illinois ten points in the last

544
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 9: ten minutes to win it twenty three seventeen against number

545
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 9: nineteen Kansas Iowa stayed a late fifty four yard field goal.

546
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 9: They come back against number twenty one Iowa twenty to nineteen.

547
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 9: Syracuse over number twenty three Georgia Tech thirty one to

548
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 9: twenty eight. And in NFL, Newspackers quarterback Jordan Love, he

549
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 9: could miss three to six weeks with a sprained mcla here,

550
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 9: hurt himself with just six seconds to go when the

551
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 9: Packers loss against the Eagles in Brazil, on Friday night.

552
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 9: Christian McCaffrey, he's been dealing with a calf issue. Was

553
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 9: limited in practice on Friday, though he says he will

554
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 9: play on Monday. And Jamar Chase, we were hearing that

555
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 9: being talked about and apparently he's being listed as having

556
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 9: an illness. So well, we'll see if he does take

557
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 9: the field at all for the Bengals on Sunday.

558
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 4: Back to you, Bernie, all.

559
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 2: Right, Jeff, Let's cut to the Chase Dion. In Colorado,

560
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: they were humbled in very embarrassing fashion by their rival

561
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 2: Nebraska on Saturday night. Shudur Sanders was hit more than

562
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: a Rocky Balboa, often and early and often again, sack

563
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: five times intercepted. The Cornhuskers defense was suffocating and before

564
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: the seats were even warm, the Buffs trailed by four

565
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: touchdowns at halftime, and they were completely able to unable

566
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 2: to take advantage of a true freshman quarterback Dylan Riola,

567
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: which doesn't surprise me. His dad played for the Detroit

568
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: Lions and so he's got some football chops. But the

569
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: numbers don't lie. This is gonna be Colorado's biggest problem.

570
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: You hear about the offensive line of the defense sucks

571
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: and they're not real discipline. And just look at them, okay,

572
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: really a lot of flash, a lot of bling, not

573
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: a lot of substance, nothing real, foundational or aspirational. They

574
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: can't run the damn ball. Colorado rushed for sixteen yards

575
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: Saturday night. Sixteen yards. You know what happens in football

576
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 2: When you can't run the ball. You become one dimensional.

577
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: When your one dimensional will become much easier to defend.

578
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: And when you can't run the ball, you are brutal

579
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: in short yard situations. Colorado's four to seventeen on third

580
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 2: down efficiency. That ain't gonna win games. Number two, you

581
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: don't punish the defense at all when you can't run

582
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: the ball. You don't wear down your opponent when you

583
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: can't run the ball, and you lose big time on

584
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: time of possession. Colorado tweled and trailed in time of

585
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: possession by a full eleven minutes. Shoodoor sanders only twenty

586
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: three or forty. These numbers were not good, and he

587
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: is chased all around. He's beat up hard, he said early,

588
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 2: he said off, and the numbers don't lie. Nebraska's physicality

589
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 2: was no match for Colorado. Welcome to the Big twelve.

590
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: The improvement that we were told about Colorado's offensive line

591
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: greatly exaggerated, and I knew it would be. You knew

592
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: it coming. We talked about it two weeks ago. Shador

593
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: Sanders time and time again had to pick himself up

594
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: off the turf and he had constant pressure. This dude

595
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: is still the first round draft choice, and he was

596
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: shaking because he made a very uncharacteristic, uncharacteristic mistake from

597
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 2: his own end zone. That pick stared down his hot

598
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 2: read guy read it jumped the route seven to nothing,

599
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: not it's fourteen to nothing, and that was it. Then

600
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: his brother Shiloh Sanders, the other son of Dion, who

601
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: plays for Colorado's their starting safety. Dion said at halftime

602
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: he thought he had a quote a broken form or

603
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: something like that. He didn't return. That's going to be

604
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: an issue. By the way, on the other side of

605
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 2: the coin, Nebraska showed they are built to compete in

606
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: the Big ten right. They ran for one hundred and

607
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 2: forty yards and Donovan I keep calling him Dominic because

608
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 2: that was his dad to play for the Lions where

609
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: I covered. He was twenty three to thirty for a

610
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 2: buck eighty five, but he was efficient when he needed

611
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: to be. Remember what I said about third down, you know,

612
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: red zone, etc. So with all due respect, Saturday will

613
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: go down as Shoedor's worst game in a Colorado uniform.

614
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 2: Only completed sixty percent of his passes, only two hundred

615
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: and forty four yards and the only comparison, if you recall,

616
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 2: Colorado got Molly Waptus Kevin Figures would say forty two

617
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 2: to six last year at Oregon, and Shudor had a

618
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: tough game that night as well. His sanders, his protection

619
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: just simply let him down. He could never get in sync.

620
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: They can't run the ball. To make matters worse again,

621
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: not only was the non existent running game there, they

622
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: only twelve rushing yards, mostly due to minus thirty yards

623
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 2: on sacks. They're started running back. You never hear this name, right,

624
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: Charlie offerdoal four rushes four yards? So what does this mean?

625
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: Colorado heads to Colorado State next week in a tremendous

626
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: in state rival. I'm trying to get Darren McKee on

627
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 2: from Denry's a fabulous guests because, by the way, Russell

628
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: Wilson returns to Denver next week as well. A Pittsburgh.

629
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,479
Speaker 2: But if the Buffs needed something to really fire them

630
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: up and link their wounds, it could be no one

631
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 2: better than Colorado State. We recall last year that was

632
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: a fabulous game. Colorado State lost fifty two to nothing

633
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: in Texas. In week one they beat Northern Colorado. Both

634
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: teams are one and one. You have to wonder will

635
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 2: the injuries as Shallows Sanders and also Colorado State their

636
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: star receiver Tony Horton. Well that's going to be something

637
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: to watch. But right now, if you are the Colorado Buffaloes,

638
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 2: you got some major soul searching to do. I don't

639
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: know what you do. All the flashing dash. They starting

640
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 2: to wear very thin. They were really embarrassed. Had Colorado

641
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: not beaten North Dakota State last week, that had been one,

642
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 2: one and eleven in the last twelve games. But fifteen

643
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: buck if if some butts were canny nuts, you'd all

644
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: have a merry Christmas. We'll see what happens next week.

645
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: Tell you tell you the truth. I'm already very much

646
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: looking forward to it. And even if Colorado does win,

647
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: they've got a gauntlet ahead of them. I think they're

648
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: on their way to a four to five one season.

649
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: I'm serious, It's the way I see it. By the way,

Speaker 2: victory in their history at Notre Dame's expense. We'll talk

00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 2: will be heavily into the NFL later in the show.

669
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: Coming up top of the hour, we resume Medina Magic

670
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 2: at midnight. We can't leave out the NBA believe it

671
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: or not training camps. Two weeks from Tuesday, we got

672
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: to get into Tom Brady's debut. Who could go worse

673
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 2: to first? In the NFL previews, some Sunday games, and

674
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 2: of course what the dance sensation sweep of the nation,

675
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool you? And what my name?

676
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: In the two am hour Pacific five am Eastern. But first,

677
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 2: we already had the biggest upset, not even close of

678
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four college football season. No was in

679
00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 2: the corn Huskers. It was the North Illinois Huskies. The Huskies,

680
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 2: a gentleman by the name of cannon Woodhull kicked a

681
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: thirty five yard field goal thirty one seconds left in

682
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, and then the defense held on and

683
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 2: unranked Northern Illinois strolls in to beat Notre Dame, who's

684
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 2: ranked number five, who they were ranked number five, sixteen

685
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 2: to fourteen.

686
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 3: On the road.

687
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: Now, this completely undoes what Notre Dame did to Texas

688
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 2: A and M last season, our last week, excuse me,

689
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: which was a huge road wind which really set their

690
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: path to the playoff. Just don't screw it up. They

691
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: don't screwed it up, but they made their path harder. Now,

692
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 2: Northern Illinois first ever victory versus a top ten opponent.

693
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: And like I said, Northern Illinois paid was paid a

694
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: million four to play in South Bend, and so they

695
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 2: pocket a million four, then they pocket of victory. Here's

696
00:35:54,320 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: a theme. Michigan's offense struggled, and guess what Colorado's offense struggle. Well,

697
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 2: guess Notre Dames offense struggled as well. For most of

698
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 2: the game, Riley Leonard completed just twenty to thirty two

699
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 2: passes one hundred and sixty three yards, no touchdowns through

700
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: two picks. He did rush for sixteen yards in a score.

701
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: But you know when it mattered most that you thought

702
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 2: they'd drive the ball down the field. They that final

703
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: drive was clunky and they had to attempt a sixty

704
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: two yard field goal that basically got blocked. And if

705
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 2: you're Notre Dame fans, this is deja vu all over again, yogi.

706
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: This is now the third time under Marcus Freeman in

707
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 2: two years that Notre Dame lost as a massive home

708
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 2: favorite twice in twenty twenty two, losing the marsh of

709
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 2: twenty six twenty one as a twenty point favorite, losing

710
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 2: to Stanford as a sixteen point favorite sixteen fourteen, and

711
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 2: then earlier Saturday afternoon sixteen fourteen, also to Northern Illinois

712
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 2: as a twenty eight point favorite. Offense of woes. End

713
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 2: of story didn't start that way. Everything started just play,

714
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 2: you know, just rosie for Notre Dame. The offense took

715
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 2: the opening drive seventy five yards thirteen plays, touchdown. All

716
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 2: is well, But the rest of the half, Notre Dame

717
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 2: only ran twenty nine plays for just eighty nine yards,

718
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 2: and that you know that included a Riley Leonard pick.

719
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: So through eight quarters to play this year, Notre Dame

720
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 2: is averaging four point six points per quarter. Those are

721
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: glaring offensive issues for a team that's gonna need offense.

722
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 2: That's why they brought Riley Leonard in. He's struggling. He's

723
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: the kid from Duke you recall last year that shocked

724
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 2: Texas A and M. He then, you know, goes to

725
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 2: Notre Dame and beats Texas A and M again, and

726
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 2: he had a very tough game. He only threw for

727
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty four yards again again, twenty nine attempts,

728
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: three two picks and I know you can hang this

729
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 2: someone on again. Sound sound familiar. Notre Dame's offensive line

730
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 2: is young and they've got their issues. But Riley Leonard

731
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 2: didn't do himself many favors either. You know he if

732
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 2: you saw of if you want to pick up the

733
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 2: ward on Lincoln's nose last week against Texas A and M.

734
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 2: Leonard does not do well stepping up under the pocket

735
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 2: with any consistency for summer. It's just not his strength.

736
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 2: And you've got to operate from the pocket. You've heard

737
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: me say it a thousand times. Quarterback is a position

738
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 2: you play with your eyes. You have to have a

739
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: base level of talent with your arm and with your legs.

740
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 2: But you receive the ball, you make meles snapshots. You've

741
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: got to execute. And you know last year he was

742
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: getting those big chunk plays out of runs. That hasn't

743
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 2: happened the first couple of weeks. Notre Dame's offense continues

744
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: to stall, and the second interception that Riley Leonard threw

745
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: was terrible. Any there's no way you can slice it.

746
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: It was thrown severely late, it was very short of

747
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 2: his intended target, and that wound up being a real

748
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 2: turning point the afternoon for the fighting Irish. I wouldn't

749
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 2: want to be film watching film with those guys on Monday.

750
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: It's not going to be fun now, you know. Jeremiah

751
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 2: Love had a tremendous touchdown around a hurdle of defender

752
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 2: thirty four yards, which put Notre Dame ahead fourteen thirteen

753
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 2: midway through the third quarter. But that was it.

754
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 8: That was it?

755
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 2: And why doesn't that guy touch the ball more? Touch

756
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 2: the ball thirteen times all afternoon and after that epic

757
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 2: touchdown he only touched the ball one more time the

758
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: rest of the game. So you know what, where are

759
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 2: Notre Dame's wide receivers? And you know we do this

760
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 2: too often. Marcus Freeman is nine o'clock. That's not my decision.

761
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: That's what people are saying. And maybe they even miss

762
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly, who knows. There you have it. Three epic

763
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: games today coming up, Mark Mendina, Medina Magic, don't forget

764
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 2: the NBA, we got it. Keep it locked with the

765
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show.

766
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

767
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, you heard the man Bernie Fraddle Show

00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: a way of arriving ahead of schedule. NBA teams will

776
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: be in camp. It's right around the corner. There are

777
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 2: already plenty of storylines, including some drama. We're gonna get

778
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 2: to all of it. Three words. It's that time, Mark

779
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 2: Madina Medina Magic. After a couple week hiatus, I was traveling,

780
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: Mark was traveling. But we are back. We are back

781
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: and Mark welcome back in.

782
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 8: How have you been, Bernie, I've been good. I mean

783
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 8: I just got married a few weeks A guess, I've

784
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 8: been on Cloud nine and Cherry on top of the Sunday.

785
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 8: Now Bastball is about to start, so it can't be

786
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 8: any more thrilled.

787
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: Other than that, not much. What's going on?

788
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's some pretty quiet officism.

789
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 2: There you go, hey, speaking to quiet. I gotta start

790
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 2: with this. I gotta start with drama. I got the

791
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 2: biggest kick out of Shaquille O'Neal's answer when he was

792
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 2: asked the other day by Miles O'Neil, who we believe

793
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 2: was the worst NBA player of all time, and I'm

794
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: not going to stay your thunder. Tell the folks who

795
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 2: he responded with.

796
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 8: It's everyone's favorite punching bag, Rudy Gobert.

797
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: Being a winner winner Chicken Dinner. What's going on there?

798
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 2: Tell us about what's going on there? Because Shaq was

799
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 2: dropping f bombs and everything.

800
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 8: Well, look, I mean I think that right now it's

801
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 8: current and former players just grabbing a ticket of the

802
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 8: Delli line to express their the stage for Erdy Gobert.

803
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 8: I mean, the last, my last tally, it's been Shaquille O'Neal,

804
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 8: Dwight Howard, Draymond Green multiple times, anytime he can record

805
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 8: a podcast or be on TNT or you know, trash

806
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 8: talk or show cold on the court, and then I

807
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 8: think Miles Turner, they've all taken shots at Rudy Gobert.

808
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 8: Saying that, you know, his Defensive Player of the Year

809
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 8: awards aren't warranted and that for all the hype that

810
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 8: he gets as a defender, they feel that, you know,

811
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 8: his weakness has become exposed in the playoffs for a

812
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 8: not showing up in big games and b you know,

813
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 8: for how great he is as a room protector, some

814
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 8: teams try to hunt him into having to defend perimeter

815
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 8: players and therefore it shows that he can't defend all

816
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 8: five positions. And I think when you look at all

817
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 8: those players, they're known as defensive gurus. So you ump in,

818
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 8: you know, some potential professional jealousy and here we go,

819
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 8: a fun soap opera that rivals any reality TV show exactly.

820
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 2: And I got to say this, I'm not going to

821
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 2: line up to defend Rudy Gobert. And I'm glad you

822
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 2: mentioned professional jealousy because how much of this is that

823
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert got two two hundred and fifty million dollars

824
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 2: and people don't believe he's really worth it.

825
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 8: Well, I think it's the it's the green, and it's

826
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 8: the hardware. I think there's jealousy there, and I think

827
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 8: that you know, in fairness, there is FLETTID two. I

828
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 8: think some players feeling a type of way because of

829
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,959
Speaker 8: the fact that you know, he hasn't won a championship.

830
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 8: He is a great defender, but the feeling is, if

831
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 8: you're going to award a defensive player of the Year award,

832
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 8: you know multiple times as Rudy Goldbart's gotten, you know,

833
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 8: he has to be able to make defensive impact, you know,

834
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 8: when the games count. And so I don't think that,

835
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 8: you know, even when you look at someone like Anthony

836
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 8: Davis and Draymond Green, they've been great defenders, but because

837
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 8: of some of the team shortcomings, they can't literally do

838
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 8: everything at once. And so I think in fairness, that's

839
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 8: really what's falling on Rudy Golbert's shoulders. But yeah, I mean,

840
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 8: until he wins a championship, they will get that ammunition.

841
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 8: But hear me out. I brought up some of these

842
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 8: things earlier in the season to Mike Conley, and he

843
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 8: made the argument to me this way. He said, teams

844
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 8: game plan for Rudy Goldbert on defense the same way

845
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 8: that teams game plan on offense for Lebron James and

846
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 8: Steph Curry. And the reason he's saying that is, you know,

847
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 8: he's such a force defensively and they really he really

848
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 8: forces teams to have to change their stouter report. So

849
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 8: he feels like the criticism is way too strong and

850
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 8: there's not enough appreciation for the fact that he's such

851
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 8: a great rim protector, and you know, he is only

852
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 8: one guy. He can't do everything at once.

853
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 2: Mike Conley happened to be one of the really good

854
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,720
Speaker 2: dudes in the NBA as well, so it doesn't surprise

855
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 2: me that he would make a classy statement. But I

856
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 2: got to tell you, I got such a kick out

857
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 2: of Shack, he says. He says, twelve points and eight

858
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: rebounds a game, I could f and do that s

859
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: right now. It's forty two. By the way, Just to

860
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 2: be fair, he said Ben Simmons was a bum too,

861
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 2: so it wasn't just it's just Rudy Gobert. But that's

862
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 2: how we start. We start with a little drama here.

863
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 2: But mark two weeks from Tuesday, teams will be in camp.

864
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 2: It'll be the first lobul date for the players. I

865
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 2: guess if you're part of the Celtics or Nuggets preseason

866
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 2: games in Abu Dhabi. But then the next day Tony

867
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 2: Camp's open up for all teams, so it's it's upon

868
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: us and what are your thoughts at the end of

869
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 2: the season.

870
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 8: Well, I've started talking to some people around the league

871
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 8: as far as the landscape goes, and you know, it's early,

872
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 8: but most of the people I talk to, you know,

873
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,959
Speaker 8: as far as different coaches and executives, they don't feel

874
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 8: like the Boston Celtics are going to repave because of

875
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 8: a few things. One that are the defending champs, but two,

876
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 8: most of their course back and they're on their prime

877
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 8: and they feel like, you know, the Celtics, you know,

878
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 8: they went through a lot of different growing pains with

879
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 8: all those trips in the Eastern Conference Finals and then the

880
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 8: finals lost against Golden State, and they felt like finally

881
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 8: they figured out how to win and maximize their chemistry.

882
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,959
Speaker 8: And the fact that everyone's back, and you know, there's

883
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 8: always going to be question marks from Christos Porzingis in

884
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 8: his health, everyone else is pretty healthy and they have

885
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 8: good team chemistry. They feel like they're just going to

886
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 8: continue building off of that. That being said, the Celtics

887
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 8: aren't seen in the same vein as the Golden State

888
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 8: Warriors were when they had Kevin Durant where just felt

889
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 8: like this is a cheat code and may as well

890
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 8: fast forward to June. There are some other contending teams

891
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 8: like Oklahoma City or maybe Dallas, Denver in the East, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Philadelphia,

892
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 8: but it's very clear that there's an expectation at it's

893
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 8: going to be Boston and the rest of the field.

894
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 2: Time with Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night midnight

895
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 2: Pacific time on the Bernie Frattle Show. A couple of

896
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 2: individual milestones we may see this year, Lebron chasing fifty

897
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 2: thousand points and Steph Curry chasing I believe four thousand

898
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:00,959
Speaker 2: and three points. Is that the right number?

899
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 8: Am I wrong? Yeah? Well, look, I think that when

900
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 8: you look on Lebron James, the fact that he's the

901
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 8: all time leading scorer, he's always going to continue to

902
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 8: make history until the day he retires. The same thing

903
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 8: applies to Steph Curry, the fact that he is the

904
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 8: all time leader and three point shots made. But I

905
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 8: think we was just fascinating is that both Lebron James

906
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 8: and Steph Curry are playing at an all star caliber level,

907
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 8: even though they're tilting toward the latter part of being

908
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 8: in their thirties. And that's not to say that they're

909
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 8: the same players as they were in their prime, but

910
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 8: it's still pretty good. It's still all Star caliber, it's

911
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 8: still they're the best player on the team. It's still

912
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 8: as long as you have that player on the team.

913
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 8: Golden State and the Lakers technically have a little bit

914
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 8: of a window not only to make the playoffs, but

915
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 8: even the slim chance of winning the title. Now. I

916
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 8: don't think that's going to happen for either team, but

917
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 8: these players, Steph Curry and will le Bron James are

918
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 8: our generational talents for a reason. The fact that they're

919
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,280
Speaker 8: doing this at this age, Lebron at thirty eight, Steph

920
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 8: at thirty six. They're coming off that Olympic gold medal

921
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 8: win where you know, both of them had to play

922
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 8: at a really high level just for Team USA to

923
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 8: win gold. It's a really testament to how well they've

924
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 8: been able to plug away here ever since squaring off,

925
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 8: ironically enough in the NBA Finals nine years ago.

926
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: Not to be that guy, But isn't Lebron thirty nine?

927
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 8: You know what you are? Correct?

928
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 2: I believe Fortymber.

929
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 8: Forty On December thirtieth.

930
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,479
Speaker 2: Here's why I bring that up because assuming he's still

931
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 2: playing and he should be in I agree with everything

932
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 2: he just said, please play at a very high level.

933
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 2: If he suits up and plays on December thirtieth, he'll

934
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 2: be the only NBA player in history to play as

935
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,479
Speaker 2: a teenager and as a forty year old.

936
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 8: That is wild.

937
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 2: Yes, I'll take NBA trivia for fe Alex.

938
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, well how about this for NBA trva. I saw

939
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 8: Steve Nash play in his forties, but much different context.

940
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 8: He was so many yeah, yeah, stealing with so many injuries.

941
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 8: It felt like it was the game of operation. But

942
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 8: I still I still, I still remember though that even

943
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 8: with all those injury plagued games and a lot of

944
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 8: time in the training room, there was a game I

945
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 8: think in the twenty thirteen fourteen season that he was

946
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 8: playing a high level against Philadelphia and it was one

947
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 8: of those lightning a bottle type games where exactly replicated,

948
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 8: but you actually saw the Steve Nash of the Phoenix

949
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 8: Suns Dallas Mavericks. Uh for you know, a short window.

950
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: I always like Steve Nash, and particularly was when he

951
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 2: was with Phoenix. But story for a different day. Uh,

952
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 2: you mentioned the Boston Celtics. Uh, you know, free agency

953
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 2: still sort of continues very much under the radar. I

954
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 2: believe Friday, Tristan Thompson finalized to one year deal to

955
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 2: return back to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Could Cleveland be a

956
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 2: thorn in Boston side this year or he's just going

957
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 2: to be Boston and everybody else.

958
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 8: I think Cleveland's for real. I mean the fact that

959
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 8: obviously Donovan Mitchell is back and so is Evan Mobley.

960
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,399
Speaker 8: That's obviously a good sign because there was I think

961
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 8: questions about or is the team going to blow up?

962
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 8: Is Donovan going to one out? I think that the

963
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 8: fact that they got Tristan Thompson. He's obviously has a

964
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 8: lot of championship success, but he's been playing marginal roles

965
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 8: in recent years, so it's not like he's a game changer.

966
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 8: Of the fact that he signed with the team in

967
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 8: September illustrates that. But I think when you look at

968
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 8: Cleveland's ceiling, they're training the right direction. Kenny Atkinson's a

969
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:46,959
Speaker 8: really good coach. I think it was a good hire.

970
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 8: He's good player development, good on the offensive side of

971
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 8: the ball. But I think when you're looking at the

972
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 8: Eastern Conference landscape, they're most likely going to be fourth

973
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 8: in the West. Second round is their ceiling. But it

974
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 8: has not to do with any of their comments. It's

975
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 8: just that Boston's that good and you know, Philadelphia got

976
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 8: Paul Georgian, you know, injuries aside, and that is a

977
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 8: huge factor. But they have the right mix and I

978
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 8: think roster depth to uh, you know, make things interesting

979
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 8: for Boston. Milwaukee they're confounding. You know, there's a lot

980
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 8: of mixed feelings about whether they're the real deal, but

981
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 8: there is a pathway because they have Giannis, Damian Loward

982
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,280
Speaker 8: now has another season, Doc Rivers, has a full training

983
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 8: camp that they could be at least a lot better

984
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 8: than the hot mess that they were last season. So

985
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 8: if I had to predict, I think it's Boston, Philadelphia,

986
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 8: Milwaukee and then Cleveland, uh and New York's to be

987
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 8: reckoned with. I might regret taking them fifth, but it

988
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 8: just shows how great of a conference the Eastern Conference

989
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 8: is and how good Boston is that you can't really

990
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 8: think that, barring major injuries, that Cleveland could be in

991
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 8: that championship contending mix.

992
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is tough to repeat, but I think on paper,

993
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 2: it looks like Boston. You don't want to get in

994
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 2: front of a speeding train. Let's go out West, wrap

995
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 2: it up with or two LA teams. I want to

996
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 2: start with the Lakers. One of the storylines it seems

997
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 2: to have disappeared under the radar, is JJ Reddick. He's

998
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 2: going to be making his head coaching debut, which is

999
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 2: another comment Shack made. He was all over the map

1000
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 2: this week. He said he believes Reddick's going to struggle,

1001
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 2: especially in the beginning. What are your thoughts, Well, I'm.

1002
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 8: A JJ Redick fan. I think he's going to be

1003
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 8: a great head coach. But the questions, I don't know

1004
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 8: whether he's going to be a great head coach when

1005
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 8: he's with the Lakers, at least for the first season.

1006
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 8: I think that he's The Lakers' success and failures have

1007
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 8: very little to do with JJ Redick. And it's one

1008
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 8: one thing that's always been carrying Lebron and Anthony Davis

1009
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 8: ever since they've been together. How healthy can they play?

1010
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 8: And subsequently, saving they're healthy, can they play at the

1011
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 8: high level? And then the second thing is the roster construction.

1012
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 8: You know, they brought back most of the team team's

1013
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 8: roster last season that just fell in the first round

1014
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 8: of Denver. Now there is a pathway for them to

1015
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 8: improve from within because of continuity and the fact that

1016
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 8: Gave Vincent and Jared Vanderbilt could be more available. But

1017
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 8: there's already question marks about Jannered Vanderbilt's health. So I

1018
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 8: think with JJ Reddick, he's going to be helpful with

1019
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 8: having first year head coach energy, enthusiasm. He's a worker,

1020
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 8: he's a bright basketball mind. I think at least from

1021
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 8: in game adjustments, he could be in that positive compared

1022
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,240
Speaker 8: to Darvin Ham. But I think in the same token

1023
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 8: he's going to have typical first year hiccups and doesn't

1024
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 8: help that. You know, he's inheriting a very tough roster

1025
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 8: that has even though Lebron's playing a high level, he

1026
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 8: is going to be forty in December, and there's a

1027
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 8: lot of question marks on the rest of the roster depths.

1028
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 8: So he will struggle, but I think has less to

1029
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 8: do with him and more to do with all the

1030
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 8: external circumstances.

1031
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 2: I'm glad. I'm glad you mentioned health with the Lakers

1032
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 2: because I was rightly corrected by one of my NBA

1033
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 2: moles back in Michigan. I'll tell you what he said.

1034
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 2: I said, look, what can you really expect out of

1035
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 2: the Lakers? I think there's a seventh best, seventh best

1036
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 2: team in the West. They basically returned to the same

1037
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 2: team as last year. That's fair. Basically the same team.

1038
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, basically, so well what I want to be The

1039
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 8: Lakers will say, hey, they have reasonable optimism that gave

1040
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 8: Vincent and Jared Vanderbilt will be a lot more available

1041
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 8: and healthier.

1042
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 2: So that's okay. That plays into my question. I got

1043
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 2: a little long winded there. I said, you know what,

1044
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 2: I feel the Lakers are going to fall back because

1045
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 2: they were healthy last year. His reply was, well, the

1046
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 2: Stars were healthy, okay, but if you really watched, they weren't.

1047
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 2: Their role players were not. You had Lebron and Ad

1048
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 2: both played north of seventy games, but their role players weren't.

1049
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 2: So they need their role players to be healthy. I

1050
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,280
Speaker 2: thought it was a pretty good observation in your thoughts.

1051
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, and look, it's gonna always start with Lebron and Ad.

1052
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 8: And I think that there's a danger when teams lament injuries,

1053
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 8: the role players usually should overcome it. But I would

1054
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 8: argue with the Lakers those injuries. It wasn't just role players.

1055
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 8: They were key X factors and bridges between Lebron and

1056
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 8: AD and the rest of the roster. What I mean

1057
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 8: by that is, gave Vincent really good defender. He could

1058
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 8: cover up the shortcomings that D'anngel, Russell and Austin Reeves

1059
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:25,720
Speaker 8: had defensively. Jared Vanderbilt, he would have given Anthony Davis

1060
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 8: a lot more defensive help and not put so much

1061
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 8: burden on Anthony Davis to do everything. And I think

1062
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 8: with that it would have put the rotations more in

1063
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 8: flux because you looked at ruly Hatchamora, D'Angel, Russell, Austin Reeves.

1064
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 8: I think they all should have had bigger roles and

1065
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 8: more consistent roles last season under Darbnham. That was part

1066
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 8: of his own ondoing, But I will say it didn't

1067
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 8: help matters that all those three players still were inconsistent

1068
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 8: when they got playing time, and I think Jared Vanderbilt

1069
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 8: and Gave Vincent would have been able to mitigate that. Now,

1070
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 8: in this hypothetic conversation, if they were mostly healthy last season,

1071
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 8: what would have done probably would have improved their seating

1072
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 8: and would have had a face Denver in the first round,

1073
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 8: but I think you know, their ceiling would have been

1074
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 8: second round at best and nothing more.

1075
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 2: Mark last one for me, the Clippers getting ready to

1076
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 2: you know, take residence into their new home, the Intuit Dome.

1077
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 2: So I guess what are you more excited about the

1078
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 2: clippers upcoming season or the slip knock concert next Friday night.

1079
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 8: Well, I'm not a good person to talk to about

1080
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 8: that because I don't like slip Knots music.

1081
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,879
Speaker 2: So there Saturday night too, just so you know they're both.

1082
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, Now, if you're asking me, would I be you know,

1083
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 8: looking forward to seeing the Clippers play or seeing Usher

1084
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 8: perform in a few weeks.

1085
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 2: He's there in a couple of weeks. Yeah, it would

1086
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 2: probably be Billy Joel.

1087
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, Billy Joel. I've already seen him perform at Syracuse.

1088
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 8: I'd love to see him perform again. So you know

1089
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 8: that covey out of side. Yeah, I would be more

1090
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 8: inclined to watch the talented musical acts into a zome

1091
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,760
Speaker 8: than the Clippers. But you know, look at Lisa. Clippers

1092
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 8: have Kawhi Leonard. We'll see how many games he actually plays.

1093
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 8: They have James Harden, but the fact that they lost

1094
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 8: Paul George and the fact that you know they're trying

1095
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 8: to carve their own identity by being in their own arena.

1096
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 8: You can really only do that if you have a

1097
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 8: winning product. Now, I think they're going to be competitive

1098
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 8: because they have Tailu. They haven't blown up the team yet,

1099
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 8: but you know it's going to be really tough sledding

1100
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 8: because of the fact that Paul George is on the team,

1101
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 8: and we just never know how many games Kawhi will

1102
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 8: actually play.

1103
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 2: All true, and it's a very tough and crowded Western Conference. Right, Mark,

1104
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 2: We're back and running. Next time we talk will be

1105
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 2: about eight days from training camp, and I'm sure we'll

1106
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 2: have many more NBA headlines and Shaquille O'Neal comments if

1107
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 2: you can just get over that shyness.

1108
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 8: And I'm Rudy Gobern, so oh I look forward to that.

1109
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 2: Let me know if he licks any microphones in the

1110
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 2: next couple of weeks, I'm not letting them off. OK

1111
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 2: for that great stuff? Mark, all right, it's Mark Medina.

1112
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 2: But need a magic every Saturday night here on the

1113
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 2: Bernie Fratter Show. As the NBA is also around the corner.

1114
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 2: All right, it's time we have to dive into the

1115
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 2: NFL the bottom of the hour. You know, this has

1116
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 2: happened nineteen to the last twenty one years where an

1117
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 2: NFL team has gone from worse to first. It even

1118
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 2: happened twice in twenty eighteen, one of them with the

1119
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears. That was the year Mitch Trubisky led them

1120
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 2: to the playoffs, and they would have even won a

1121
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 2: playoff game had it not been for the double doing

1122
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 2: field goal. At the bottom of the hour, I'm going

1123
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,439
Speaker 2: to tell you which of the teams I think will

1124
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 2: go from worse to first. And here's a spoiler alert,

1125
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 2: and it ain't the Bears. And here's another spoiler alert.

1126
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 2: I think the Bears are losing Sunday. And I'm gonna

1127
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 2: explain to you why what if I told you that

1128
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 2: first overall picks of the draft starting a game as

1129
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:51,919
Speaker 2: a quarterback in Week one, they're two and twenty one

1130
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 2: since twenty oh three. Yeah, but I'm also going to

1131
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 2: talk about why Tennessee's being dissed. I think the Bears

1132
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 2: are going to beat Tennessee. Check that, I think Tennessee's

1133
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 2: gonna beat the Bears, which is gonna get their season

1134
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 2: started off at zero to one and then bottom of

1135
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 2: the r. We'll talk about the teams that that I

1136
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 2: believe have a chance to go from Worster first to

1137
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 2: which one I think will. I'm Bernie Frattle Where coming

00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 2: coming toy Liar from the tire Act dot Com studios

1147
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. Coming up after the Chef's update,

1148
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 2: We're gonna dive into the eight teams who finished last

1149
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 2: and who can finish first. Go last to first. It happens.

1150
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 2: It happens a lot. It happened pretty much every year,

1151
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 2: I think, only to the last twenty three years it

1152
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 2: hasn't happened. I'll tell you the team I think that

1153
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 2: will have the honors, and it's not the Chicago Bears,

1154
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 2: even though they were one of the teams to do

1155
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 2: it in back of twenty eight teams. A matter of fact,

1156
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 2: Bear fans, Bears fans, this may piss he off too bad.

1157
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 2: I think you're getting beat by Tennessee Sunday. Despite all

1158
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 2: the hype the Bears have received during the offseason, let's

1159
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 2: set the table as the Tennessee Titans visit town. There's

1160
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 2: no refuting the fact that Tennessee owns one of the

1161
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 2: most underrated receiving course in football. DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley,

1162
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 2: Tyler Boyd. They add Treylon Burks, WHOA. Now, you may

1163
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 2: not be sold yet on Will Levis, but he's got

1164
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 2: some guys to throw to. He's got some real talent

1165
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 2: he can throw to, and that's gonna make his life

1166
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 2: a lot easier as he leads Tennessee's offense. Now he's

1167
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 2: in his second season. Right, last season, the Titans threw

1168
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 2: for less than two hundred yards in ten of their games,

1169
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: and Levis was sacked right and left. We believe that's

1170
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 2: gonna change in twenty twenty four. Got a new head coach,

1171
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 2: Brian Callahan. His dad Bill Callahan, lots of experienced the

1172
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,439
Speaker 2: new O line coach recognized as the best O line

1173
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 2: coach in the National Football League. Recently notified he'd been

1174
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 2: selected to the Paul Zimmerman Award. A guy used to

1175
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 2: write for Sports Illustrated. I think Levis his numbers are

1176
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 2: going to be much better. Meanwhile, listen, all this buzz

1177
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 2: in Chicago centers around Caleb Williams. I don't dislike Caleb Williams.

1178
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 2: He's going to be fabulous to watch. Got all kinds

1179
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 2: of talent. He deserved to win the Heisman Trophy. He

1180
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 2: deserved to be the top choice in this last year's

1181
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 2: NFL draft. The Bears even won for their final six

1182
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 2: games last season. But I have a satan saying, don't

1183
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 2: tell me, show me. Chicago's just two and eight outright

1184
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 2: in this last ten season opening games the last ten

1185
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 2: seasons in their opening games three and seven straight up.

1186
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 2: Not Listen. The bottom line is this Tennessee is going

1187
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 2: to present a real challenge. First, overall, picks struggle mightily

1188
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 2: when you start a game in your first game in

1189
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 2: the end, and that will lead into my reasons why

1190
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 2: I don't think the Bears will go from worse to first.

1191
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you who I think will coming up.

1192
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 2: But first we go to our guy, the chef, Kevin

1193
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 2: wyt with.

1194
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 9: The last Yes, Bernie. College football in full swing. Everything

1195
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 9: has gone final around the country. The last game to

1196
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 9: finally finish was USC and U toassed it all. This

1197
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 9: game was over for quite a bit. The thirteenth ranked

1198
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 9: Trojans a dismantlement of the Aggies forty eight to nothing.

1199
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 9: So USC now improves to two and oh elsewhere in

1200
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 9: at college football, the upset of the day coming in

1201
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 9: South Bend.

1202
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 11: Snap hoole Jeters, kick this fuck it fucked, it's fucked,

1203
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 11: picked up by you. That's tays put the biggest upset

1204
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 11: and are you this story?

1205
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 4: They come to South Bend, Indiana.

1206
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 12: And they knock off the number five team in the country.

1207
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 12: And are you sixteen Notre Dame fourteen? The football gods,

1208
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 12: we're shiny.

1209
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 2: Down, are you?

1210
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 9: That was a Northern Illinois radio network with the call

1211
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 9: as they get the biggest win in Husky program history,

1212
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 9: beating number five Notre Dame sixteen to fourteen on a

1213
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 9: final minute field goal. Before getting that block number seven Oregon,

1214
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 9: they had a tough time of it against Boise Ski Snap.

1215
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 10: Good placement, good kick on the way it's gone penally

1216
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 10: flag down. Looked like the Broad Coast line have jumped

1217
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 10: off fight in the initial ideal. That's it Oregon that

1218
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 10: has won their first game against Boise State in four

1219
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 10: tries in a most dramatic fashion, great defensive stops and

1220
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 10: a drive that gave him a great field goal effort

1221
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 10: at the end, it sapping and knocks her through for

1222
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 10: twenty five yards, and Oregon is two to zero in

1223
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 10: that win column.

1224
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:54,160

1248
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 9: NFL news, Jordan Love, they have a result at least

1249
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 9: from his injury that he suffered on Friday. Was just

1250
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 9: six seconds to go. Jordan Love suffering at the time

1251
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 9: would appear to be a lower leg injury, and they're

1252
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 9: saying it's a sprained MCL. He could miss three to

1253
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 9: six weeks, so not nearly as bad as was feared,

1254
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 9: but he is still going to miss some time. Christian

1255
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 9: McCaffery has been dealing with a calf issue. Was limited

1256
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 9: in practice on Friday, but he does say he will

1257
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 9: be good to go on Monday. As for Jamar Chase,

1258
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 9: it's they're classifying it as an illness, so we'll see

1259
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 9: if he'll be out on the field much, if at all,

1260
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 9: on Monday. In the WNBA, Angel Reese out for the season.

1261
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 9: She announceds she's got a wrist injury. It wasn't for

1262
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 9: Caitlin Clarks, she'd probably be the Cinch Rookie of the Year.

1263
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 9: On the men's side of things, Denver Nuggets gard Jamal

1264
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 9: Murray agreeing to a four year extension worth over two

1265
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 9: hundred million dollars, and at the US Open Women's final,

1266
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 9: number two seed Arianna Sabolenka beats American Jessica Bagoula seven

1267
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 9: to five, seven five.

1268
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 4: Back to you, Bernie, all right.

1269
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 2: Jeff four them up those vocal cords. One hour from now,

1270
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 2: America waits. You know what, Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady

1271
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 2: and Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers, you know what. They

1272
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 2: all happened in common before they stepped onto the field

1273
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 2: to have some success in the National Football League. They

1274
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 2: all got to watch a veteran do it for a

1275
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 2: year that matters. And you know, probably next week I'm

1276
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 2: going to go into my annual I'm gonna launch you

1277
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 2: into my annual oratory about why it's a real crapshoot

1278
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 2: to draft a quarterback in the first round and why

1279
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 2: they fail at such a high rate. And you know,

1280
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 2: the numbers don't lie. But let me start with this.

1281
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 2: I believe one of the eight teams will finished last

1282
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 2: last year will finish first. But it's not going to

1283
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 2: be the Bears. And I'll tell you my theory is this,

1284
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 2: and I get it's understandable. Caleb Williams is gonna spark

1285
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 2: all the optimism in Chicago. He's a real, genuine offensive catalyst.

1286
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 2: I'm sick and tired of hearing he's the greatest quarterback

1287
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 2: in their history without ever taking a snap. Get out

1288
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 2: of here with that. You never saw Jim McMahon play.

1289
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 2: You don't know how good the guy really was. He

1290
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl. He was legit. Forget the numbers

1291
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 2: don't compare eras he was amazing at byu' He's amazing

1292
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 2: with the Bears. Okay, win a super Bowl, then maybe

1293
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 2: maybe we'll have a conversation, and I get he's got

1294
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 2: a receiving core. DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Roma, Doonza. They

1295
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 2: say the offensive line is better, YadA YadA ya, just

1296
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 2: like I said about Colorado. Here's the thing that's concerning

1297
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 2: there are really unreasonable expectations that the Bears are just

1298
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 2: gonna all of a sudden win the division or maybe

1299
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 2: even make the playoffs, because that might be a, you know,

1300
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 2: an honorable goal, but the Bears. The chasm between the

1301
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 2: Bears and the Lions, and the Bears and the Packers

1302
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 2: is pretty significant in my view. And you haven't taken

1303
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 2: any consideration that the tremendous learning curve that Caleb Williams

1304
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 2: is going to have ahead of him. You don't realize

1305
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 2: when the real bullets start to fly. Sunday with the

1306
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 2: National Football League really looks like when he gets hot,

1307
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 2: it's hard to breathe, and you got real growing men

1308
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 2: with beards coming after you with bad intentions every single play.

1309
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 2: He hasn't had the luxury of watching a veteran do

1310
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 2: this for a year, and I don't think he don't.

1311
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 2: I don't believe he has.

1312
01:08:58,320 --> 01:08:58,560
Speaker 8: C J.

1313
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 2: Strout's temperament. And I don't believe he can elevate the

1314
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 2: offense like CJ. Stroud did, or even like Andrew Luck

1315
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 2: did you know decade ago or more so. And I

1316
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 2: don't think the Bears have enough juice on their roster

1317
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 2: to push the Lions or Packers. And I and listen

1318
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 2: if I'm really being critical, and I am. I think

1319
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 2: the Bears defensive line remains a real issue. Montes what

1320
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 2: is the one legitimate pass rushing threat. But their interior

1321
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 2: looks spotty. They're in a tough division. They're in the

1322
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 2: white hot spotlight of the National Football League. I do

1323
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,720
Speaker 2: not believe the Bears will be the team one of

1324
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 2: the of any of the eight teams who finished last

1325
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 2: last year. I'm certain the Bears will not finish first.

1326
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm not even so sure they're gonna make the playoffs. Hey,

1327
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 2: put that in your pencil. Write it down. Like I

1328
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 2: told Ian Roddy a few weeks ago, when I said

1329
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 2: there was no way in hell the US Olympic men's

1330
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 2: team was gonna lose, they didn't. Friday Night, I said

1331
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 2: there's no way in hell Colorado was beating Nebraska. They didn't.

1332
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be that guy. But here's my point.

1333
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 2: I'll eat it. I'll, i'll, I don't. I don't mind

1334
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 2: correcting myself. If if the Bears make a liar out

1335
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 2: of me matter of fact to make for a great story,

1336
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 2: wouldn't it ain't gonna happen? Though, tally, who else is

1337
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 2: it gonna go?

1338
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 13: For?

1339
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:09,719
Speaker 2: Worse to worse? The first the New England Patriots, come on, man,

1340
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 2: I like Drake, May you know Jacoby Bissett. I mean,

1341
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 2: if you can name three New England Patriots, you got

1342
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 2: a brand new coach. They're in the same division as

1343
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills, who are going to be better than

1344
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 2: people want to give them credit for the Miami Dolphins,

1345
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 2: who are very good, and the Jets. You know, if

1346
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 2: they stay healthy and if that defense staffs up, maybe

1347
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 2: Hassan Reddick shows up and Aaron Rodgers stays healthy, they're

1348
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 2: the fourth best team in that division. So let's just

1349
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 2: move on from the Patriots. I really don't think the

1350
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders. I know, they got nowhere to go but up,

1351
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,440
Speaker 2: and they had the league the league's worst point differential

1352
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 2: last year. They gave up one hundred and eighty nine

1353
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 2: more points than they scored and the end of the

1354
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 2: season on an eight game skit outther than that, things

1355
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 2: are looking great for their new coach Dan Quinn. They're

1356
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 2: in a major rebuild. Washington has major areas of concern

1357
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 2: in every key position. You get to drift. It ain't

1358
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 2: gonna be the Washington Commanders. I don't think it's going

1359
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 2: to be the Carolina Panthers either. However, I like Dave Canalis.

1360
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 2: I like Bryce Young. Give the young man a chance.

1361
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 2: Dave Canalis was critical in resurrecting Gino Smith's career three

1362
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 2: years ago. Remember when he says, you know, they all

1363
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 2: wrote me off, but I ain't right back? Was? That

1364
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 2: was Dave Canalis. Dave Canalis also helped resurrect Baker Mayfield's career.

1365
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield was strolling and strutting around like a peacock

1366
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 2: in radio ro last year. I like Baker got the bag,

1367
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 2: he deserved it. That was Dave Canalis. Dave Canalis was

1368
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 2: also presiding over Russell Wilson during his best careers. What

1369
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 2: am I saying? I think Bryce Bryce Young is going

1370
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 2: to improve with Dave Canalis, and they've spent some money.

1371
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 2: But the truth of the matter is you can't overhaul

1372
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 2: an offense that that was far down to click in

1373
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 2: the first month, and I think to get off to

1374
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 2: a slow start and they're gonna have a hard time.

1375
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:00,680
Speaker 2: They only won more than seven games once in the

1376
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 2: last nine years. That's the year they went to the

1377
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 2: super Bowl with Cam Newton. They're not a laughing stock,

1378
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:08,600
Speaker 2: and as a matter of fact, they're one of my

1379
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 2: best bets Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints

1380
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 2: may win that game, but they're laying four and a half.

1381
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 2: I think it's a very close game. It's a Divisional

1382
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 2: Dog Week one, which we're going to get into later

1383
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 2: in the show. I do this every year with Jason McIntyre.

1384
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 2: I'll go be going on this podcast Thursday Straight Fire

1385
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,640
Speaker 2: to talk about Divisional Dogs Week one in September and

1386
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 2: how rock solid they've been. There three divisional dogs, one

1387
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,760
Speaker 2: of them is Carolina. But I don't think Carolina is

1388
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 2: going to go from worse to first. I also don't

1389
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 2: think the Arizona Cardinals are either. All right, the Arizona

1390
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 2: Cardinals are going to compete. They'll have a somewhat entertaining offense,

1391
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 2: but again, the talent disparity between the Cardinals and say

1392
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,600
Speaker 2: the San Franisco forty nine Ers is so great you

1393
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 2: can't even really have a conversation about this. Even the Rams,

1394
01:12:57,479 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 2: let's not even go down there way. I know they've

1395
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:02,040
Speaker 2: got Marvin Harrison Junior. I think Kyler Murray can have

1396
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 2: a good year. I do. I think Michael Wilson it

1397
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,440
Speaker 2: can have a breakout year. Their tight end, Trey McBride.

1398
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,520
Speaker 2: They run the ball well, they play hard, They're gonna compete,

1399
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,200
Speaker 2: They're just not gonna do much just the way it is.

1400
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 2: The Chargers finished last last year under the legend Brandon Staley.

1401
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 2: Who will miss watching him do the cat cal yoga move.

1402
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 2: Huh that guy who? I think that that the brand

1403
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 2: and Staley era is one they will want to soon

1404
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 2: forget in Los Angeles, meaning the Chargers. So coming up,

1405
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk Can the Chargers go from worse to first?

1406
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 2: Can the Titans go for worse to first? I've already

1407
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,919
Speaker 2: talked about the Bears. At least one team, the Cincinnati Bengals.

1408
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 2: I will tell you which of those three teams I

1409
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 2: believe will go from worst to first. I'm Bernie Frattle.

Speaker 2: the hour, Tom Brady will take over as the top

1425
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 2: analyst the Fox Sports number one NFL Sunday team, calling

1426
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:45,759
Speaker 2: us first game ever. He's never broadcast a game before.

1427
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 2: He goes right to the top. I'm gonna talk about

1428
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:51,599
Speaker 2: what I'm looking for out of Tom Brady and what

1429
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 2: the cruise thoughts will be as well as we dive

1430
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 2: into this in a very very granular fashion. All right,

1431
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 2: So I have not revealed WHI will be the team

1432
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 2: that goes from worse to first because it happens twenty

1433
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 2: one of the last twenty three years. Will it be

1434
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:09,599
Speaker 2: the Chargers? Look, Jim Harbaugh is not a miracle worker.

1435
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 2: He will have that team competitive. I think they'll be

1436
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 2: above five hundred and I think he's got a quarterback

1437
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 2: with very unique abilities. Hardball said while he was in

1438
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 2: Michigan he had a crush on on Justin Herbert, and

1439
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 2: I get why. His presence is really everything with the Chargers.

1440
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,440
Speaker 2: And the Chargers will be a run heavy, defensive team.

1441
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 2: But you really think they're gonna overtake the AFC West

1442
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 2: CHAMPI Chiefs, You've only won it eight times in a row. Yeah,

1443
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 2: And if you saw it Thursday, they showed no signs,

1444
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 2: no signs of fading. In my view, they look loaded

1445
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 2: for bear. And you know, as once again Baltimore failed

1446
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 2: to stick the landing. If you get my drafts, well,

1447
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 2: that leaves two teams the Tennessee Titans. I don't think

1448
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 2: people should should pooh pooh the Tennessee Titans. They did

1449
01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 2: fire Mike Rabel. You're bringing Brian Callahan, you got Will Levis,

1450
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:06,679
Speaker 2: you got some damn good receivers. They also snagged a cornerback,

1451
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:10,719
Speaker 2: Lagerius Snead in a trade with Kansas City, and look

1452
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 2: they mused to want them. They gave him seventy six

1453
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:17,879
Speaker 2: million dollars. The only challenge here is although the Titans

1454
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 2: made a lot of changes, all for the good, it

1455
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 2: might be too many changes to endure at one time.

1456
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 2: Right they retooled. They have a very aggressive general manager

1457
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 2: named ran Carthon. He didn't take his foot off the gas.

1458
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 2: He moved in a lot of directions. No more Derek Henry,

1459
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 2: no more by Rabel, no more Ryan Tannehill. But they

1460
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:42,320
Speaker 2: brought in a lot of good pieces parts. But they've

1461
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 2: got to do it on the field. The defense would

1462
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:46,639
Speaker 2: be better on paper, but there could be a regression. And

1463
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 2: so the tooth of the matter is the AFC South

1464
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:53,640
Speaker 2: is you know, is not one. I don't think one

1465
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,959
Speaker 2: of the better divisions. The bottom line is this Tennessee

1466
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:00,680
Speaker 2: has a shot. They have a shot to you know,

1467
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:04,519
Speaker 2: maybe you overtake a Jacksonville Jaguars, etc. I don't know

1468
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 2: that they will because even though the Ironies they made

1469
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,720
Speaker 2: so many changes for the good, it might be too

1470
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 2: many to absorb in one year. So who do I

1471
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 2: think it's going to be. I gotta believe it's going

1472
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 2: to be the Cincinnati Bengals. As long as Joe Burrow

1473
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:21,679
Speaker 2: and his calf ailment, as long as he stays healthy.

1474
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 2: It doesn't require a lot of faith to buy him

1475
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 2: to this group. They won twenty two games in twenty

1476
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 2: one and twenty two, they reach a super Bowl, they

1477
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 2: reach THEFC Championship Game, and they're the one team I

1478
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 2: think that they don't fear Kansas City in a way,

1479
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 2: Baltimore appears to The defense gave up far too many

1480
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 2: explosive plays last year, but they know they're going to

1481
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 2: be much better at safety. They bring in Genos Stone

1482
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 2: and Von Bell Returns and listen, they they had a

1483
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 2: lot of trade requests to get guys like t Higgins

1484
01:17:55,040 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 2: defensive end Trey Hendrickson. They're a legitimate contender. Now. I

1485
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 2: realize they got to get this situation with Jamar Chase

1486
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:07,600
Speaker 2: straightened out. But remember Cincinnati, this is not the first barbecue.

1487
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 2: They went from worse to first back in twenty twenty one,

1488
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 2: and it's a matter. I know it's cliche, but they

1489
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 2: have to stay healthy okay, and I will tell you

1490
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 2: that you put them on the field with the Ravens

1491
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 2: and on paper they may not have the talent if

1492
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:30,599
Speaker 2: you start to go position by position, but they compete

1493
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:33,680
Speaker 2: with Baltimore. I've seen them go into Baltimore two years

1494
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 2: ago and kick Baltimore's But they've had their way with Baltimore.

1495
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 2: They signed Trent Brown, the draft of Marius Mimes, they

1496
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:44,759
Speaker 2: got their offensive line improved, and they got Joel Burrow back.

1497
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:48,679
Speaker 2: I believe Cincinnati will be the team that goes from

1498
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 2: worst to first and their division, we shall see. It's

1499
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 2: been done twenty one in the last twenty three years.

1500
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 2: Why can't it be done this year? I think it'll

1501
01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:01,519
Speaker 2: be Cincinnati coming up Tom Brady. We're just a little

1502
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 2: over twelve hours away from Tom Brady making his debut.

1503

1516
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 2: Edward Patrick Brady Junior. I had a good fortune of

1517
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 2: being in that market. When Tom Brady was matriculating at

1518
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,120
Speaker 2: the University of Michigan, he redshirted in ninety five I

1519
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 2: have in ninety seven year old around Michigan won the

1520
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:06,719
Speaker 2: mythical National championship and Tom Brady was the backup quarterback

1521
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 2: behind Brian Greasey's story has it he walked into Lloyd

1522
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:11,639
Speaker 2: Carr's office one day they head coach, and said, Coach,

1523
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 2: I should be starting. The truth was Tom Brady was

1524
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 2: picking apart the starting defense as a Scout team quarterback,

1525
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:21,080
Speaker 2: and Coach Carl looked at him and says, Tom, worry

1526
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 2: about yourself. That's your advice for his team, and that's

1527
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 2: your advice for life. It hasn't always been easy for

1528
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 2: Tom Brady. He's always had to fight. He was seventh

1529
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:33,720
Speaker 2: on the depth chart at Michigan. When he got there,

1530
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 2: he struggled to get playing time. At one point, Tom

1531
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 2: Brady actually hired a sports psychologist to help him cope

1532
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,560
Speaker 2: with this frustration, having a lot of anxiety. Even considered

1533
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 2: transferring to cal University California. Of course, he was talked

1534
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 2: out of it, and the rest became history. And Tom

1535
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:54,360
Speaker 2: Brady is the type of guy said he's willing to

1536
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 2: rely on sound advice, he's willing to rely on mentorship.

1537
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:00,679
Speaker 2: And Tom Brady, I will tell you when he became

1538
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 2: the starter, he was amazing. He was twenty and five

1539
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 2: and had a lot of big wins at Michigan. But

1540
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 2: I digress. What's the point? Tom Brady is most likely

1541
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 2: going to figure this out. But he's never broadcast a

1542
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 2: game and he's going to be the Fox number one

1543
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 2: analyst starting well, just about twelve hours and twenty minutes

1544
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 2: from now, it's a Cowboys take on Cleveland. So can

1545
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 2: a guy just walk in right off the field and

1546
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 2: take over one of the most high profile jobs in

1547
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:33,720
Speaker 2: sports media? And if it were anybody else, I think

1548
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 2: there'd be pullback, pushback. But Brady, look, you don't get

1549
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:42,679
Speaker 2: rich betting against Tom Brady because this I know after

1550
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 2: observing at Michigan, no one will outprepare him, no one

1551
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:49,920
Speaker 2: will outwork him. He will prepare for this gig as

1552
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 2: he already has, just like he prepared for his last gig,

1553
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 2: and that worked out pretty well. I think you'd agree.

1554
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 2: But what's Tom Brady really going to be like behind

1555
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:02,639
Speaker 2: the mic? What does he have to do to impress you?

1556
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 2: And he's already joined comparisons to Tony Romo only because

1557
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 2: they're both quarterbacks. And for a while there, Tony Romo's

1558
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:17,080
Speaker 2: act at assessing formations and then predicting the play before

1559
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:19,679
Speaker 2: they would happen, had a few hits and he became

1560
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 2: sort of this kneat trick that I think fizzled out.

1561
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:27,400
Speaker 2: You know, I'm over Tony Romo. He kind of bugs me.

1562
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 2: He only won two playoff games as a cowboy. Brady

1563
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 2: won thirty five playoff games. Yeah, and I think Brady

1564
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 2: will be better eventually than Romo. But what does Brady

1565
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 2: have to do to impress us? Okay, what does he

1566
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 2: really have to do to impress you? So as I

1567
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 2: consider Tom Brady, and I think the likability factors probably there,

1568
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 2: Although we're gon we're gonna talk to the crew later on.

1569
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 2: Do you care that Tom Brady's doing this? Do you

1570
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 2: like Tom Brady? Not? Everybody likes him. My good buddy,

1571
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 2: Rob Parker. You know how you've about him so and

1572
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 2: I understand why Rob gives good reasons for feeling the

1573
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:10,720
Speaker 2: way he feels. So what's it gonna be like? And

1574
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 2: I think part of it many of us are watching

1575
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:17,599
Speaker 2: just to see what it's gonna be like. Okay, what

1576
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 2: is tom Brady gonna be like?

1577
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 1: So?

1578
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 2: Will he be knowledgeable? Well, that's a given. He's gonna

1579
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 2: be knowledgeable, but he's got to do more than that.

1580
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 2: How's he gonna package his message? We know he's got

1581
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 2: a ridiculously high football IQ. We know he's gonna prepare

1582
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:35,679
Speaker 2: to the ends of the earth. Will he be willing

1583
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 2: to take us inside players' heads, inside the huddle, inside

1584
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:42,639
Speaker 2: the locker room, when things go wrong, when the play

1585
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 2: breaks down, When he gets out, it's hard to breathe.

1586
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 2: There's a whole range of events that take place in

1587
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 2: a National Football League game. The best laid plans, they

1588
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 2: start to go awry. What happens? How do you adjust?

1589
01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:57,879
Speaker 2: What do you do? Okay, and when you look across

1590
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:00,120
Speaker 2: the board of all the NFL games that will be

1591
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 2: on TV next year, or the Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon,

1592
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:08,719
Speaker 2: you've got all. You've got people from all walks of life.

1593
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 2: Ex lineman, ex jocks, number crunching nerds, were analysts, buttoned up,

1594
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 2: button up reporters with nice hair pieces or whatever the hell.

1595
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 2: I don't care, pretty boys. Tom Brady is the goat.

1596
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:25,719
Speaker 2: You'll see the preparation, you'll see the execution. The question

1597
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:28,840
Speaker 2: is how does he package his message. I'm really looking

1598
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,200
Speaker 2: forward to see how he does that. What's his style,

1599
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 2: what's his voice? When the lights go on, It's going

1600
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:35,800
Speaker 2: to be different. This is not easy to do. We

1601
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:37,680
Speaker 2: had a very capable crew working with you tonight. They

1602
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 2: will know to be the first to tell you this

1603
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 2: is not an easy job. The trick is making it

1604
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:45,559
Speaker 2: look easy, all right? So how will he package his message?

1605
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 2: Now let's get into the content, and this is what

1606
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 2: I'm looking for. Will Tom Brady be fair? All right?

1607
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 2: He's not one of those guys that wishes he was

1608
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,680
Speaker 2: still playing, or you know, thought he got screwed, or

1609
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 2: maybe he's looking to get a coaching job like paid

1610
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 2: Rex Ryan, and that keeps a lot of ex coaches

1611
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 2: from going into broadcasting or even achieving broadcasting greatness, because

1612
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:09,880
Speaker 2: if you're going to be a future coach, you don't

1613
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 2: want to be dogging people. And Brady doesn't need people

1614
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 2: to like him. People already like him, or they want

1615
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 2: to like him, or they want to be like him.

1616
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:18,559
Speaker 2: Even if they don't like him, they're gonna watch. We

1617
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 2: talk about that all the time. The opposite of love

1618
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:23,639
Speaker 2: is not hated. Some different you're gonna pay attention. How

1619
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 2: honest will Tom Brady be about the flaws of players

1620
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 2: that he's being paid to analyze? We don't know. Do

1621
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 2: we think he will? I think he will, but we

1622
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:36,640
Speaker 2: don't know. So what's his message? How knowledgeable, which we

1623
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 2: know he's going to be, how's he going to package it?

1624
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:42,040
Speaker 2: How fair and objective is he is? You know? Is

1625
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 2: he going to be? He's in the perfect position to

1626
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 2: give you just about any opinion. They have a great

1627
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,640
Speaker 2: amount of credibility, more so than Tony Romo, who I

1628
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 2: believe has become a cartoon character. He's become a character. Sure,

1629
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 2: I just get the big kick out of it. Is

1630
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:58,720
Speaker 2: there with Jim Nantz Jim Nantzys. The patience of a

1631
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 2: saying yeah, Jim, they're gonna run the ball here next

1632
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:04,799
Speaker 2: to they're back to pass cracks me up. It happens

1633
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 2: so often it should be a drinking game. You'd pass

1634
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,560
Speaker 2: out by the third quarter. Because Tony Romel gets a

1635
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 2: lot of them wrong. Even though that was his shtick,

1636
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,639
Speaker 2: it's stick and I don't think Brady's gonna be about shtick.

1637
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 2: I think one of the things he'll be in his

1638
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 2: own way is relatable. Consider Peyton Manning. Everybody loves Peyton Manning,

1639
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 2: and Peyton Manning is a type of guy who's transitioned

1640
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 2: off the field into this incredibly relatable guy because in

1641
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 2: spite of being a Hall of Famer and winning Super

1642
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:40,800
Speaker 2: Bowls with two different teams, he's racked up rings and

1643
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 2: he's got, you know, more money than they'll ever need.

1644
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 2: But the reason Peyton Manning is so likable and relatable

1645
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:54,559
Speaker 2: is because he comes across as one of us. He's

1646
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 2: a little goofy, doesn't take himself real seriously. He was

1647
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:02,880
Speaker 2: on sound in that Live a couple of times. And

1648
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:05,719
Speaker 2: I don't know that Brady has the every guy shtick.

1649
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 2: It's just not in his DNA. It's not he He

1650
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 2: didn't even start as a freshman quarterback at Sarah High

1651
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 2: School in northern California and the team was only eight.

1652
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:18,880
Speaker 2: He's had to fight for everything and that wasn't so

1653
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,680
Speaker 2: much the case with Peyton Manning whose football royalty. But

1654
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 2: I'm not saying Peyton Manny didn't earn it. But it's

1655
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 2: almost impossible for Brady to be like Peyton Manning. He's

1656
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 2: not one of us. That's I don't mean one of us,

1657
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, the relatable type of guy,

1658
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:37,560
Speaker 2: that's the regular dude, Brady. Brady takes a lot of

1659
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 2: air out of the room, and for all the right reasons.

1660
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 2: And the truth of the matter is he's not going

1661
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 2: to be a guy that's going to engender empathy or sympathy.

1662
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 2: He's not going to come across as a fan who

1663
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 2: who joys the game and views the game just like

1664
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:51,559
Speaker 2: everybody else. He's gonna be different, but he's still got

1665
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:54,759
Speaker 2: to be relatable, so knowledgeable, Yes, how does he package

1666
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:57,200
Speaker 2: it fair? Is he going to be willing to be critical?

1667
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:01,479
Speaker 2: And is he going to be relatable? For me? Humor

1668
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 2: is the great equalizer in life. It is a great

1669
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:08,800
Speaker 2: icebreaker in all walks of life. And I will tell

1670
01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:11,520
Speaker 2: you you show me any great order, any great communicator,

1671
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 2: they're a good storyteller and the use humor. Will Tom

1672
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 2: Brady do that? Can he do that? Does he want

1673
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 2: to do that? Because I'm my only concern having been

1674
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 2: around him, is you. It's what's called quantum physics. Now

1675
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:31,879
Speaker 2: he's being observed. He knows he's being observed. So therefore

1676
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 2: does he attempt to be robotic? Check that? Does he

1677
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 2: end up being a little robotic? Is there gonna attempt

1678
01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:41,920
Speaker 2: to be robotic? Does he end up being a little robotic?

1679
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:46,120
Speaker 2: I don't recall funny Tom Brady. I really don't. I

1680
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 2: don't recall happy, go lucky, getting people laughing Tom Brady,

1681
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 2: or storytelling tom Brady. Although I understand he's a good storyteller.

1682
01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 2: Can he do that? Within the framework of a broadcast?

1683
01:28:56,520 --> 01:29:01,160
Speaker 2: Humor is important. Some of the best the great broadcast teams.

1684
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 2: John Madden was very humorous. Lots of the great broadcast

1685
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 2: teams have that gear. Does Brady? Yes, Anno, he does.

1686
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:15,639
Speaker 2: He's had a locker room humor. But in the framework

1687
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,240
Speaker 2: of a broadcast, while you're thinking on your feet and

1688
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 2: they're breaking the huddle, and you get about thirty seconds

1689
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:22,959
Speaker 2: of the next play, and you're reacting, and you're dispensing

1690
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 2: your knowledge, which you have, and you're trying to be

1691
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,439
Speaker 2: fair and you're trying to be relatable. Can you package

1692
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 2: your message in humor? I don't know if you ever

1693
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:34,520
Speaker 2: saw the movie Good Morning Vietnam. Fabulous Adrian Cronauer, Robin Williams.

1694
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 2: He was a natural good more than Vietnam. And then

1695
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:41,639
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Dan the man Levitan takes over.

1696
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:45,600
Speaker 2: The dude was warm, dishwater, nice guy. Sure, he's a

1697
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:48,040
Speaker 2: wonderful human being. He's a movie character. Okay, work with me,

1698
01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:52,479
Speaker 2: But my point is he was not Adrian Cronower. People

1699
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:55,360
Speaker 2: liked Adrian cronaar but it came natural. Then Dan Levitan

1700
01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 2: started to be trying to be a little funny. Bruno

1701
01:29:57,640 --> 01:29:59,439
Speaker 2: Kirby was trying to tell his boss, Sir, I know

1702
01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:02,000
Speaker 2: I am funny, He said, son, you don't know if

1703
01:30:02,040 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 2: you've been shot f powder burner, snake, but get out

1704
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 2: of my office. Being funny isn't easy. And there's one

1705
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:13,520
Speaker 2: final thing. There's no question Tom Brady is draped with stardom.

1706
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:18,679
Speaker 2: Stardom doesn't necessarily translate to broadcast success. I love Magic

1707
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,600
Speaker 2: Johnson to death, met him many times. Was he a

1708
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 2: great broadcaster? No, and this dude is as big as

1709
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:28,720
Speaker 2: stars you could ever imagine. However, there are stars, they

1710
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:34,480
Speaker 2: also become exceptional broadcasters. Charles Barkley, everybody loves Charles's a personality.

1711
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 2: I think Troy Aikman is as good as anybody working.

1712
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 2: So Tom Brady, pick eighty seven of these. Be a

1713
01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:49,799
Speaker 2: truth teller, Be a storyteller. Be charismatic, be insightful, be witty,

1714
01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:54,840
Speaker 2: be intelligent, be clever, show humor, be relatable, be fair,

1715
01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:57,320
Speaker 2: try to be critical, be irreverent when you got to

1716
01:30:57,320 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 2: be irreverent, and at the end of the day, show

1717
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 2: that knowledge, but package it in a way that doesn't

1718
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 2: come across as robotic. That's what I'm looking to see

1719
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:07,200
Speaker 2: out of Tom Brady. I'm not looking at it for

1720
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 2: week one, but today, it'd be nice if he came

1721
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:12,200
Speaker 2: out of the gates strong, coming up, Let's bring in

1722
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 2: the crew. First of all, are they excited Tom Brady

1723
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,439
Speaker 2: got this gig? Not everybody is. They think he jumped

1724
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:20,960
Speaker 2: to the front of the line. I am not one

1725
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:24,400
Speaker 2: of those people. I don't begrudge someone else's success. I

1726
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:27,760
Speaker 2: will say this, I'm only watching for the entertainment purposes.

1727
01:31:28,040 --> 01:31:30,400
Speaker 2: Do I think he's gonna screw up? No, I don't

1728
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 2: think Tom Brady's capable of failing. But what level of

1729
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,639
Speaker 2: success and more he is in the pantheonic broadcasters, right,

1730
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:39,639
Speaker 2: He's got to be above Tony Romo because Tony Romo

1731
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:43,920
Speaker 2: to me is klowmb is caricature. Now coming up, we

1732
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:46,640
Speaker 2: will bring in the crew. They can piggyback off what

1733
01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:49,360
Speaker 2: I said. We are gonna talk Tom Brady because this

1734
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:52,040
Speaker 2: is real meant Look, one of our callers said, it's

1735
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:55,479
Speaker 2: so good last night and Friday night. This is entertainment. Yes,

1736
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 2: it's packaged to sports, but it is entertainment and we're

1737
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 2: all here for it. I'm Bernie Frattworke comedy line from

1748
01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:29,880
Speaker 2: the dance Sensation sweep of the nation. What kind of

1749
01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 2: brand new fool you followed by? What my name? But first,

1750
01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 2: Tom Brady makes his debut here in about twelve hours.

1751
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:40,040
Speaker 2: What are you looking for? What does he have to

1752
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:42,559
Speaker 2: do to impress you? Are you glad he's here? Bree,

1753
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 2: Let's start with you. What are your thoughts?

1754
01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:47,519
Speaker 14: I'm really excited to see him in his role. Actually,

1755
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 14: I think he's gonna ace the concept of being relatable

1756
01:32:50,439 --> 01:32:54,120
Speaker 14: since he can kind of envision himself being kind of

1757
01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:56,240
Speaker 14: each in one of those players, like maybe a player

1758
01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:59,240
Speaker 14: that's like started from you know, the practice squad, and

1759
01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:00,720
Speaker 14: you know, he can kind of of, you know, put

1760
01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:03,640
Speaker 14: himself in that mindset and and I don't honestly, I

1761
01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 14: don't mind it. I think there's people who have less

1762
01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:10,280
Speaker 14: accolades who have taken those broadcast positions and haven't been

1763
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:13,120
Speaker 14: that great. And I think the fact of how serious

1764
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:15,840
Speaker 14: he's taken his role as an athlete, I think it's

1765
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 14: going to translate really well into broadcasting.

1766
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:19,720
Speaker 15: So I'm really looking forward to it.

1767
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no question that Tom Brady's commitment to excellence

1768
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:27,840
Speaker 2: and everything he's done is going to translate. I got

1769
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:31,000
Speaker 2: a couple of interesting tweets here. Someone named Red says

1770
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:34,599
Speaker 2: Brady needs a personality. Manning is fun, Brady is dry.

1771
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 2: Another gentleman Fred Nebraska. The single most important thing and

1772
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:42,120
Speaker 2: NFL analyst has to do is or learn is when

1773
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:45,640
Speaker 2: to shut up. Fair point. But that's part of the

1774
01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:50,040
Speaker 2: learning process as well, Chef, what are your thoughts?

1775
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:53,880
Speaker 9: Well, the biggest issue for me with Tom Brady becoming

1776
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:56,000
Speaker 9: an analyst is that he's going to be limited in

1777
01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:58,920
Speaker 9: the access he has to seems because of his current

1778
01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 9: attempt to buy a share of the Las Vegas Raiders.

1779
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:04,439
Speaker 9: So the NFL has kind of told him that he

1780
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:06,519
Speaker 9: can't be a part of those production meetings in which

1781
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:09,920
Speaker 9: they meet with the head coach, the coordinators see practice

1782
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:12,120
Speaker 9: to kind of get an idea of what each team

1783
01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:13,760
Speaker 9: is going to do in that game so they can

1784
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:17,920
Speaker 9: break it down on TV. And that's something that just

1785
01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:20,240
Speaker 9: about every other analyst to every other play by play

1786
01:34:20,240 --> 01:34:22,479
Speaker 9: guy on the broadcast gets access to, and he's not

1787
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:24,680
Speaker 9: going to have, So that's going to limit him I

1788
01:34:24,720 --> 01:34:25,559
Speaker 9: think a little bit.

1789
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:26,599
Speaker 4: Now, I don't chef should.

1790
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 2: Just to set the record straight. I'm told that that

1791
01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:32,719
Speaker 2: won't enact until he actually consummates his deal with the Raiders,

1792
01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:34,240
Speaker 2: which I don't think he ever will. Not to get

1793
01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:35,880
Speaker 2: off on a tangent, I just want to set the

1794
01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:37,679
Speaker 2: record strate for an audience. But I'm glad you brought

1795
01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:41,640
Speaker 2: this up. The Raiders are currently valued by Forbes at

1796
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:44,800
Speaker 2: about seven point six billion dollars. Brady is attempting to

1797
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:48,479
Speaker 2: buy one percent. His offer was sixty million. That's less

1798
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:50,720
Speaker 2: than one percent, And so that's why I got kiboshed.

1799
01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:53,559
Speaker 2: He's treated like an annuity now if it goes through,

1800
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:56,080
Speaker 2: because they'll be an on on there's conflict of interest.

1801
01:34:56,880 --> 01:34:59,719
Speaker 2: What you just mentioned could happen. It's excellent talking point,

1802
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:02,240
Speaker 2: but I don't think they get to that point unless

1803
01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:05,960
Speaker 2: they consummate this this business transaction. So and I mean

1804
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:07,320
Speaker 2: to cut you off there, I just want to set

1805
01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:07,640
Speaker 2: that up.

1806
01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:10,880
Speaker 9: Okay, So that's a good point then, But nonetheless, he

1807
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:12,800
Speaker 9: is new, he is fresh, and I am someone who

1808
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:16,080
Speaker 9: typically prefers someone to be more experienced when it comes

1809
01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 9: to calling the biggest games that a network has. I

1810
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:22,720
Speaker 9: thought Greg Olsen was an outstanding color analyst, and to

1811
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:26,400
Speaker 9: see him get demoted to the number two spot, I

1812
01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:28,400
Speaker 9: know that's how the business works a lot of the time,

1813
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:30,920
Speaker 9: but I thought he was someone who added a lot

1814
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:35,000
Speaker 9: to a broadcast as did an outstanding job breaking down

1815
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:37,919
Speaker 9: plays in a way that an average fan can understand.

1816
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:41,320
Speaker 9: It didn't get too technical, but wasn't really basic either.

1817
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:43,479
Speaker 9: He had a nice balance on how he did it,

1818
01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:46,280
Speaker 9: and he was also incredibly clear and concise. Also had

1819
01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:49,000
Speaker 9: a pretty positive personality as well, So he was someone

1820
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:51,120
Speaker 9: I became a fan of. So it's much about losing

1821
01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:53,960
Speaker 9: him in the top spot as it is about having

1822
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:56,160
Speaker 9: Tom Brady there. That for me is the issue. But

1823
01:35:57,040 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 9: when it comes to his work ethic and his knowledge

1824
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:01,600
Speaker 9: of the game, I don't think. I don't doubt that

1825
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:06,640
Speaker 9: Tom Brady, we'll be able to excel. But again, with

1826
01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:09,840
Speaker 9: that possible Raiders purchase, that is something that could limit him.

1827
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:12,519
Speaker 9: But with you kind of making that a clear with

1828
01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:14,599
Speaker 9: his status and doing that, and maybe that won't be.

1829
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:17,599
Speaker 2: Sure to impress you. I know why Greg Olsen impressed

1830
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:19,760
Speaker 2: all of us because he was a keen observer. He

1831
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,840
Speaker 2: really was. What's Brady have to do to impress.

1832
01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 9: You in a similar sense like one, I want some

1833
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:28,759
Speaker 9: personality from him, not just to dry and bland into.

1834
01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 9: I want to see exactly how does he break down

1835
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:34,200
Speaker 9: plays as they happen in a game, because that's a

1836
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:39,639
Speaker 9: very peculiar art form in how someone's able to break

1837
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:42,519
Speaker 9: down something as complex as a play in football in

1838
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:45,360
Speaker 9: real time. So if he can do that where I

1839
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:48,920
Speaker 9: can learn something about it and really understand the game better,

1840
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:51,160
Speaker 9: that's how I'll judge him as a success. Is how

1841
01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:53,320
Speaker 9: am I understanding the game that's being played in front

1842
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:57,360
Speaker 9: of me fair enough, Mark Ramsey.

1843
01:36:57,479 --> 01:37:00,599
Speaker 16: So basically I've been looking at just by us talking

1844
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:04,760
Speaker 16: about some of the same things. The first thing I

1845
01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:08,840
Speaker 16: would say is the fans viewing the game have to

1846
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:12,639
Speaker 16: first make sure they get past all the Patriot bias

1847
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:16,479
Speaker 16: because to be able to watch the games and listen

1848
01:37:16,520 --> 01:37:20,160
Speaker 16: to him, whatever bias they may have, hopefully that that

1849
01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:25,240
Speaker 16: won't hurt their idea of what he's doing. If he

1850
01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 16: can come off smooth and relatable, like you said, that's

1851
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:31,559
Speaker 16: going to go a long way by him being able

1852
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:34,720
Speaker 16: to be smooth not stumble over his words, not that

1853
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 16: he's going to have flop sweat, because I think he

1854
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:39,120
Speaker 16: wouldn't have tried to take the job if he wasn't

1855
01:37:39,160 --> 01:37:42,720
Speaker 16: going to be nervous about it and just not to

1856
01:37:42,840 --> 01:37:45,880
Speaker 16: be or come off as a big no it all.

1857
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:49,400
Speaker 16: If he can be relatable, lay out the essence of

1858
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:54,160
Speaker 16: each play, I think that will make him. Those would

1859
01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:56,520
Speaker 16: be the things that will make him successful.

1860
01:37:57,360 --> 01:37:58,800
Speaker 2: So I want to read a couple of tweets here

1861
01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:03,200
Speaker 2: from Sean and Portland. He's right, Darryl wal Darryl Waltrip

1862
01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:08,480
Speaker 2: was a star auto racer, right, and a great broadcaster,

1863
01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:12,280
Speaker 2: he said, comparing Brady Manning's like Earnhardt Waltrip, with Waltrip

1864
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:15,400
Speaker 2: being the so called Manning every man. Manning just has

1865
01:38:15,439 --> 01:38:19,280
Speaker 2: that affability. He has that every man affability, even though

1866
01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:22,599
Speaker 2: he's also a Hall of Famery, has more natural chops.

1867
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:27,559
Speaker 2: I think Tom Brady, at least at first, is gonna

1868
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:30,120
Speaker 2: be a little mechanical, but he'll get better because he

1869
01:38:30,160 --> 01:38:33,599
Speaker 2: always does. And it will all come down to content.

1870
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:37,719
Speaker 2: Content is king. Then how does he package that content?

1871
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 2: Does he package it in a way that's entertaining, informative?

1872
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:45,519
Speaker 2: You know? Will he use the power of story, Will

1873
01:38:45,560 --> 01:38:48,880
Speaker 2: he you know, use the sense of humor? Tom Brady, right,

1874
01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 2: now is in that category of Bill Belichick, Tiger Woods,

1875
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 2: Derek Jeeter. What do I mean by that? When they

1876
01:38:57,080 --> 01:39:01,639
Speaker 2: were plying their trade. Belichick is a head coach, Derek

1877
01:39:01,720 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 2: Jeters Yankee shortstop, Tiger Woods golfer, they stonewalled you. Okay,

1878
01:39:07,439 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 2: they were never going to let you know what they

1879
01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 2: were really thinking. And I will because I've talked to

1880
01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 2: Jered Derek Jeter. These guys are funny as hell. Trust me,

1881
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 2: they are funny. They can deliver a punchline when and

1882
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:23,640
Speaker 2: where they want, and they're fabulous. They just chose not

1883
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:26,519
Speaker 2: to do it. Brady has some of that. The question

1884
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 2: is will he do that? I think if he can

1885
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:31,840
Speaker 2: do some of that, you know, his job's not to

1886
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 2: be a comedian, his job's going to be entertainment. And

1887
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:39,400
Speaker 2: I am still of the belief that how he packages

1888
01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:43,200
Speaker 2: his message is going to be everything. That's that's what's

1889
01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:47,520
Speaker 2: really going to determine the level that Tom Brady is accepted,

1890
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:50,040
Speaker 2: and he's gonna have a white hot spotlight on him

1891
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:52,720
Speaker 2: and Chef, I think you brought up a good point

1892
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:57,400
Speaker 2: as far as you know the situation where not everybody

1893
01:39:57,439 --> 01:40:00,479
Speaker 2: maybe was happy that he got Greg Old's and bumped

1894
01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:03,879
Speaker 2: into the second tier for lack of a better perhaps

1895
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 2: you know designation. But we're going to be watching and

1896
01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:11,280
Speaker 2: I love this kind of stuff, and I think it

1897
01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:15,880
Speaker 2: adds to the overall entertainment quotion for Sundays games. Just

1898
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 2: yet another thing to watch, right, Aaron Rodgers, he's back

1899
01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 2: this weekend. The Cowboys circus goes to Cleveland. Right, Jim

1900
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:29,639
Speaker 2: Harball makes his debut. But then add it all up,

1901
01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:33,879
Speaker 2: and what's part of the entertainment medium? Yes, Tom Brady,

1902
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:40,639
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, speaking of the Jets, only nine quarterbacks started

1903
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:43,720
Speaker 2: all seventeen games last season in the entire league. Why

1904
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:46,600
Speaker 2: is that important to the NFL? Why is that important

1905
01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:50,120
Speaker 2: to the TV people who decided who was going to

1906
01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:52,400
Speaker 2: be on TV this year? I'll tell you coming up,

1907
01:40:52,439 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 2: But first let's go back to our guy, the chef,

1908
01:40:54,680 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 2: Kevin Wyer. Well, chef, you take a shot of brandy

1909
01:40:57,280 --> 01:40:59,280
Speaker 2: before that one to night. I won't tell anybody. I

1910
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:00,280
Speaker 2: won't tell anybody.

1911
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:03,400
Speaker 9: Keep it between us, Bernie here between us. Yes, that's

1912
01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:05,880
Speaker 9: our that's our secret. Gets me nice and warmed up, right,

1913
01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:13,920
Speaker 9: it's anyway we had funny to get warmed up for

1914
01:41:14,439 --> 01:41:17,040
Speaker 9: in college of football today, it was a great day

1915
01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:19,759
Speaker 9: of action, but the biggest upset of the day coming

1916
01:41:20,280 --> 01:41:22,840
Speaker 9: in a South Bend snap.

1917
01:41:22,479 --> 01:41:26,800

Speaker 4: They made it.

1932
01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:06,400

1933

1980
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:43,520
Speaker 9: but even if he does make it on there Rappaport's

1981
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:45,920
Speaker 9: saying he will not be a full going very well.

1982
01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:48,559

1984
01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:54,400
Speaker 9: but is not quite ready to return. Next week is

1985
01:44:54,439 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 9: considered a more realistic timeline. In Bears, wide receiver Keenan

1986

1988
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:08,559
Speaker 9: are listening as questionable and aren't expected to play on

1989

1990
01:45:12,960 --> 01:45:16,720
Speaker 9: he's listened as questionable due to a hip injury. He

1991
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 9: does plan to play against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals,

1992
01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:24,000
Speaker 9: though very well, could have limited action from Jamar Chase.

1993
01:45:24,040 --> 01:45:26,680
Speaker 9: He's listed as having an illness, so of course he

1994
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:28,320
Speaker 9: hasn't been in camp much as he's trying to get

1995
01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:30,559
Speaker 9: a new deal, and we'll see exactly how much he

1996
01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:33,840
Speaker 9: plays on Sunday. Forty nine Ers running back Christian McCaffrey

1997
01:45:34,200 --> 01:45:36,600
Speaker 9: says he will play Monday night. He's been dealing with

1998
01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:39,960
Speaker 9: a calf issue, was limited in practice on Friday, and

1999

Speaker 9: against the Eagles with just six seconds ago. The Packers

2001
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 9: feared the worst, but it turns out as a sprain mcl.

2002
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:52,200
Speaker 9: He's still missed three to six weeks, but much better

2003
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:56,639
Speaker 9: than the possible season injury ending injury that many had feared.

2004
01:45:57,479 --> 01:46:01,320
Speaker 9: In basketball, the WNBA Angel Reese out the see season,

2005
01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:04,240
Speaker 9: she announces with a wrist injury, and the Denver Nuggets

2006
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:06,880
Speaker 9: given guard Jamal Murray a four year extension were two

2007
01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:10,920
Speaker 9: hundred million dollars. US Open tennis, second seeded Arena Sabalinca

2008
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:14,719
Speaker 9: wins the US Open against America Jessica Bagoula in a

2009
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:16,840
Speaker 9: straight set, seven five seven five.

2010
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:21,880
Speaker 2: Back to Bernie, all right, chef, another baffo performance. Good

2011
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:25,400
Speaker 2: help yourself to some cookies out of petty cash. Nice,

2012
01:46:25,560 --> 01:46:33,160
Speaker 2: nicely done. You know, as I mentioned, only nine quarterbacks

2013
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:37,400
Speaker 2: started all seventeen games last season. Here's the significance to

2014
01:46:37,479 --> 01:46:41,200
Speaker 2: that statement. Here, here's the context of that statement. Aaron

2015
01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:44,920
Speaker 2: Rodgers obviously was not one of them. However, you turned

2016
01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:48,120
Speaker 2: on your TV at any given time this or didn't

2017
01:46:48,120 --> 01:46:51,360
Speaker 2: even point this fall, there's a good chance you're gonna

2018
01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:55,360
Speaker 2: see the new York Jets on the tube in prime time.

2019
01:46:56,320 --> 01:47:01,280
Speaker 2: That's because Aaron Rodgers team has been awarded six primetime

2020
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:04,439
Speaker 2: games over the first eleven weeks of this season. That's

2021
01:47:04,439 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 2: I heard of for a losing team, but you all

2022
01:47:06,160 --> 01:47:09,320
Speaker 2: know why. It's the first time in the NFL history

2023
01:47:09,360 --> 01:47:11,080
Speaker 2: that a team has been given that many night games

2024
01:47:11,080 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 2: over the first eleven weeks any team super Bowl winning teams.

2025
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:17,479
Speaker 2: By the way, the Jets also have a week this

2026
01:47:17,560 --> 01:47:20,400
Speaker 2: doesn't even count. They have a Week five game in London,

2027
01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:24,639
Speaker 2: which means they'll beginning seven standalone games before we even

2028
01:47:24,640 --> 01:47:27,680
Speaker 2: get the Thanksgiving. Now, that's quite a feat for a

2029
01:47:27,720 --> 01:47:32,479
Speaker 2: team who the last time they had a winning season.

2030
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:35,040
Speaker 2: Work with me, the last time the Jets had a

2031
01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:39,439
Speaker 2: winning season, Uptown Funk was the number one song of

2032
01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:42,120
Speaker 2: the year and Billboard top one hundred. Yes, just throwing

2033
01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:47,240
Speaker 2: that in for their posterity. Now, we hope that Aaron

2034
01:47:47,320 --> 01:47:50,759
Speaker 2: Rodgers better days are ahead and there is not any

2035
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:58,160
Speaker 2: more problems. This will be his first full season since

2036
01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:01,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. But weren't great then? He failed for

2037
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:04,360
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers actually failed to throw for three hundred yards

2038
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:06,559
Speaker 2: in any game in twenty twenty two. He also had

2039
01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:10,400
Speaker 2: twelve interceptions that same season, the most that he ever

2040
01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:12,400
Speaker 2: had since his first year as has started back in

2041
01:48:12,400 --> 01:48:17,080
Speaker 2: Green Bay in two thousand and eight. So it's not

2042
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:22,120
Speaker 2: just enough that Rogers stays healthy. Hopefully these standalone games,

2043
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:24,040
Speaker 2: of which they'll be seven of them between now in

2044
01:48:24,040 --> 01:48:27,800
Speaker 2: the first eleven weeks, stand up to the screwtin need.

2045
01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:32,240
Speaker 2: People are gonna want to be entertained. And by the way,

2046
01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:37,040
Speaker 2: just for comparative analysis, only three teams got six primetime

2047
01:48:37,080 --> 01:48:41,240
Speaker 2: games for the entire season, the Cowboys, the forty nine Ers,

2048
01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:45,880
Speaker 2: and the Jets. The Cowboys won twelve games last year,

2049
01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:49,599
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers won fourteen, the Jets won seven.

2050
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:53,519
Speaker 2: You get my drift. Hopefully they will be entertaining. We're

2051
01:48:53,560 --> 01:48:55,719
Speaker 2: going to start out Monday night when the Jets visit

2052
01:48:56,320 --> 01:48:59,200
Speaker 2: San Francisco. But here's a couple of stats as we

2053
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:01,599
Speaker 2: headed to the NFL Sunday. I like to do this

2054
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:04,720
Speaker 2: week to week on my show. We're an encyclopedia of

2055
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:08,600
Speaker 2: useless information here, although it's not necessarily useless. It's that

2056
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:13,240
Speaker 2: out of the day Buffalo, the Buffalo Bills are sixteen

2057
01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:16,760
Speaker 2: to oher in games where Josh Allen does not have

2058
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 2: a turnover. Yeah, finally in one of those oddities circle

2059
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:25,759
Speaker 2: of life oddities. You can't make this stuff up category,

2060
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:29,400
Speaker 2: You can't make this stuff up. The first Monday Night

2061
01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:34,360
Speaker 2: game last season, Buffalo defensive end Leonard Floyd, he happened

2062
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:36,880
Speaker 2: to be the guy who sacked Aaron Rodgers who were

2063
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:41,400
Speaker 2: up to he ruptured his achilles. Leonard Floyd is no

2064
01:49:41,479 --> 01:49:46,080
Speaker 2: longer with Buffalo. Leonard Floyd now plays for the forty

2065
01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:50,200
Speaker 2: nine ers. Oh yeah, Monday Night, the forty nine Ers

2066
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:55,080
Speaker 2: play the Green Bay Packers. And yes, you can be sure.

2067
01:49:55,600 --> 01:49:58,760
Speaker 2: I believe he's already said so. Leonard Floyd wants to

2068
01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:03,559
Speaker 2: sack Aaron Rodgers again. Just a little sidebar we're gonna

2069
01:50:03,560 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 2: be watching coming up a solid seventy six percent betting

2070
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:13,200
Speaker 2: trend for a week one that's going back to twenty fourteen.

2071
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:14,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna share it with you. There are three games

2072
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:18,759
Speaker 2: fall into this category. I've talked about in the Chicago

2073
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:21,680
Speaker 2: Sometimes Today's Issue. I'll talk about it next Thursday with

2074
01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:25,680
Speaker 2: Jason McIntyre on his podcast Straight Fire, and I'll talk

2075
01:50:25,680 --> 01:50:28,280
Speaker 2: about it here coming up next. By the way, football fans,

2093
01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:31,719
Speaker 2: kickoff on our first full slate, our first full Sunday slate.

2094
01:51:31,720 --> 01:51:36,040
Speaker 2: We've already had a couple of NFL games. Green Bay

2095
01:51:36,160 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 2: got beat by Philadelphia in Brazil, and of course Thursday

2096
01:51:39,040 --> 01:51:42,160
Speaker 2: night and epic start to the season. Baltimore fields to

2097
01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:44,599
Speaker 2: stick to landing once again, and the Chiefs have served

2098
01:51:44,760 --> 01:51:49,080
Speaker 2: noticed so full slate on Sunday, including Monday night game

2099
01:51:49,640 --> 01:51:52,880
Speaker 2: with the Jets and forty nine Ers and then Sunday

2100
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:57,160
Speaker 2: Night Rams Lions. So you look for that edge, you

2101
01:51:57,200 --> 01:52:02,040
Speaker 2: look for that edge the first week and one has

2102
01:52:02,120 --> 01:52:08,160
Speaker 2: truly existed going back to twenty fourteen. Since then, September Dogs,

2103
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:14,800
Speaker 2: Divisional Dogs, Week one Divisional Dogs have covered seventy six

2104
01:52:14,840 --> 01:52:17,839
Speaker 2: percent of the time. Now there are three such games

2105
01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:23,679
Speaker 2: that fall under that category. Sunday one the Carolina Panthers

2106
01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:26,439
Speaker 2: catching four and a half against New Orleans. The other

2107
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:28,880
Speaker 2: the Raiders we're getting three and a half, are now

2108
01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:33,120
Speaker 2: down to three as they visit the Chargers and Jim

2109
01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:38,920
Speaker 2: Harbaugh makes his debut. And then of course the Indianapolis

2110
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:45,680
Speaker 2: Colts they host the incredibly successful Houston Texans. That was

2111
01:52:45,760 --> 01:52:49,120
Speaker 2: last year, Okay, and you're going to look to the

2112
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:52,680
Speaker 2: dog in all three of these games that they not

2113
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:56,559
Speaker 2: that it can't change, anything can happen, but it's been

2114
01:52:56,680 --> 01:53:01,200
Speaker 2: absolutely rock solid. Let's take a minute to examine why.

2115
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:04,479
Speaker 2: First of all, Week one in the National Football League,

2116
01:53:04,680 --> 01:53:09,360
Speaker 2: most teams are basically at full strength. Depression hasn't set

2117
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:14,040
Speaker 2: in yet. Dogs are still optimistic. The season's not lost,

2118
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:18,000
Speaker 2: and Bill Belichick said it best. It really takes the

2119
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:22,200
Speaker 2: good teams a good three or four weeks to physically gel,

2120
01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:25,680
Speaker 2: but they haven't geled yet, and so the talent disparity

2121
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:29,519
Speaker 2: between the two is quite narrow, and the great teams

2122
01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:32,800
Speaker 2: haven't broken apart from the pack yet. It's early, so

2123
01:53:33,439 --> 01:53:38,559
Speaker 2: there's always a tighter game. Typically, coaches have also had

2124
01:53:38,640 --> 01:53:44,040
Speaker 2: months to game plan these matchups week one, so it

2125
01:53:44,120 --> 01:53:47,000
Speaker 2: leads to the likelihood of dogs covering and actually pulling

2126
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:50,280
Speaker 2: off upsets. As a matter of fact, much of the

2127
01:53:50,360 --> 01:53:54,200
Speaker 2: time the dog wins outright. If you look at the

2128
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:58,120
Speaker 2: Raiders game against the Chargers, they're down to three. The

2129
01:53:58,160 --> 01:54:01,200
Speaker 2: sharps are on the Raiders, and the last time Jim

2130
01:54:01,240 --> 01:54:05,160
Speaker 2: Harbaugh took over an NFL team in twenty eleven, they improved.

2131
01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:08,519
Speaker 2: They improved a lot. They improved by seven wins. For

2132
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:11,120
Speaker 2: that to happen this season, the Bolts would have to

2133
01:54:11,160 --> 01:54:15,439
Speaker 2: go from five wins to twelve wins. Harball has been

2134
01:54:15,439 --> 01:54:18,080
Speaker 2: pretty good in season openers. That doesn't mean he covers,

2135
01:54:18,680 --> 01:54:22,840
Speaker 2: and I think this Raiders team has a lot to prove.

2136
01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:25,439
Speaker 2: They got a real chip on their shoulder, they have

2137
01:54:25,479 --> 01:54:27,680
Speaker 2: an identity. Do I think the Raiders are gonna good

2138
01:54:27,680 --> 01:54:30,880
Speaker 2: this year? No, I'm not saying that, But in this spot,

2139
01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:33,640
Speaker 2: they're very dangerous. They're a very live dog. Would not

2140
01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:40,240
Speaker 2: surprise me late if the Raiders strolled into Los Angeles,

2141
01:54:40,280 --> 01:54:44,440
Speaker 2: which well they're already there and beat the Chargers. They're

2142
01:54:44,480 --> 01:54:46,960
Speaker 2: a live dog. They're the first of the three divisional dogs.

2143
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:50,440
Speaker 2: I believe we'll cover and the best better get after

2144
01:54:50,480 --> 01:54:52,120
Speaker 2: it because they had to Baltimore next week and they're

2145
01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:54,680
Speaker 2: gonna face a pissed off Ravens team. They'll have had

2146
01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:56,160
Speaker 2: ten days to prepare it, and they don't want to

2147
01:54:56,200 --> 01:54:58,680
Speaker 2: start Ain two. There's gonna be a different motivation. I

2148
01:54:58,720 --> 01:55:00,280
Speaker 2: think the Raiders get to Baltimore's going to be a

2149
01:55:00,280 --> 01:55:02,240
Speaker 2: whole different ballgame. The Raiders don't want to start Roe two.

2150
01:55:02,400 --> 01:55:04,880
Speaker 2: You're gonna get max effort out of the Raiders. On

2151
01:55:04,880 --> 01:55:12,400
Speaker 2: on Sunday the Carolina Panthers, this is another interesting divisional game.

2152
01:55:13,080 --> 01:55:15,280
Speaker 2: You know how I feel about Derek Carr, and with

2153
01:55:15,280 --> 01:55:17,320
Speaker 2: all due respect, he was sixty three and seventy nine

2154
01:55:17,320 --> 01:55:20,480
Speaker 2: as a starter with the Raiders, and we were told

2155
01:55:20,480 --> 01:55:22,040
Speaker 2: all he needed was a defense. Well, they are pretty

2156
01:55:22,040 --> 01:55:23,440
Speaker 2: good defense in Normans last year. What do you do

2157
01:55:23,520 --> 01:55:27,080
Speaker 2: with it? Nothing? Nothing, And the fans have pretty savvy.

2158
01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:29,640
Speaker 2: They already see what you know. I'm not picking on

2159
01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:32,839
Speaker 2: Derek Carr personally. He's a decent human being, good man.

2160
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:35,440
Speaker 2: I don't want them quarterback in my team. I've seen him,

2161
01:55:35,440 --> 01:55:38,080
Speaker 2: I've seen enough. I think that's a field goal game.

2162
01:55:39,040 --> 01:55:43,200
Speaker 2: Hard to believe that New Orleans loses at home to Carolina.

2163
01:55:45,440 --> 01:55:49,120
Speaker 2: Hard to get excited when you see Bryce Young stats

2164
01:55:49,240 --> 01:55:51,440
Speaker 2: last year. But I think Dave Canals will get to

2165
01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:55,560
Speaker 2: steam more compatible competitive. I remember Dave Canals is the

2166
01:55:55,560 --> 01:55:58,440
Speaker 2: guy who fixed Geno Smith, helped Baker Mayfield, and got

2167
01:55:58,480 --> 01:56:00,880
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson to a ceiling. By the way, New Orleans

2168
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:03,840
Speaker 2: they're one and six against the spread against foes that

2169
01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:06,600
Speaker 2: have a double revenge, and Carolina lost to him twice

2170
01:56:06,640 --> 01:56:09,400
Speaker 2: last year. I think Carolina keeps it close. Finally, this

2171
01:56:09,480 --> 01:56:13,000
Speaker 2: may shock you. I not only think that the Indianapolis

2172
01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:16,200
Speaker 2: Colts will cover, I think they'll beat Houston out right.

2173
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:24,720
Speaker 2: I really do. The Colts again home divisional dog that

2174
01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:26,840
Speaker 2: covers at even a higher rate. I think it's like

2175
01:56:26,880 --> 01:56:30,800
Speaker 2: seventeen to four over the last that's like eighty five

2176
01:56:30,800 --> 01:56:33,600
Speaker 2: percent over the last how many years. When you when

2177
01:56:33,600 --> 01:56:36,560
Speaker 2: you are home and you are divisional dog getting points

2178
01:56:36,600 --> 01:56:40,760
Speaker 2: at the department of redundancy department, I think you get

2179
01:56:40,760 --> 01:56:43,480
Speaker 2: a good effort out of Anthony Richardson. I don't know

2180
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:45,080
Speaker 2: that he's long for this league, with the way he

2181
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 2: plays and looks up for contact, but I think he's

2182
01:56:48,440 --> 01:56:50,880
Speaker 2: also got something to prove. And the truth of the

2183
01:56:50,920 --> 01:56:53,800
Speaker 2: matter is Houston nearly one and eight straight up and

2184
01:56:53,840 --> 01:56:56,120
Speaker 2: their last nine road openers including ohen six in the

2185
01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:58,240
Speaker 2: last six games. I know what Houston did last year,

2186
01:56:58,520 --> 01:57:00,280
Speaker 2: and I love what Tamiko Ryans' is done, and I

2187
01:57:00,320 --> 01:57:02,080
Speaker 2: love what CJ. Stroud has done. But the truth of

2188
01:57:02,120 --> 01:57:05,360
Speaker 2: the matter is in the National Football League, what goes

2189
01:57:05,440 --> 01:57:08,200
Speaker 2: up must come down ane of those three games I

2190
01:57:08,240 --> 01:57:13,560
Speaker 2: mentioned Carolina, the Raiders, and Indianapolis, I think Indianapolis is

2191
01:57:14,040 --> 01:57:16,600
Speaker 2: the likely of the three to win their game out right.

2192
01:57:16,640 --> 01:57:18,880
Speaker 2: One of them was gonna win out right. Happens every year.

2193
01:57:19,120 --> 01:57:20,840
Speaker 2: I expect two of the three to cover. All three

2194
01:57:20,920 --> 01:57:22,920
Speaker 2: might cover. You never know. All I can tell you

2195
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:26,160
Speaker 2: is divisional dogs week one, not that it can't change

2196
01:57:26,200 --> 01:57:29,920
Speaker 2: anything can happen seventy six percent against the number since

2197
01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:32,880
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen. Those kinds of numbers don't lie. That's the

2198
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:35,080
Speaker 2: kind of edge you look for in week one because

2199
01:57:35,120 --> 01:57:37,280
Speaker 2: you're gonna get a tight, well played game. The better

2200
01:57:37,320 --> 01:57:39,080
Speaker 2: team hasn't had a chance to pull away yet in

2201
01:57:39,160 --> 01:57:42,960
Speaker 2: gel everybody's at full strength. You get the picture coming up?

2202
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:44,960
Speaker 2: What kind of brand new fool of you? Followed by

2203
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:47,160
Speaker 2: what my name? Keep it locked? You're listening to the

2204
01:57:47,200 --> 01:57:50,440
Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2205
01:57:50,720 --> 01:57:53,400
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2206
01:57:53,720 --> 01:57:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, you heard the man. Bernie Fraddle Show

2207
01:57:56,160 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 2: keeps rolling right along. My name is Bernie Fraddle. We

2208

Speaker 2: are coming to lie from the iraq dot com studios

01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:17,760
Speaker 2: dot com the way tire buying should be. Well, we

2213
01:58:17,840 --> 01:58:21,120
Speaker 2: have come to that juncture in the week. We've come

2214
01:58:21,160 --> 01:58:23,000
Speaker 2: to that time in the show. You know you'd love it.

2215
01:58:23,040 --> 01:58:26,680
Speaker 2: You can't live without it. You see because here our staff,

2216
01:58:26,720 --> 01:58:30,400
Speaker 2: well Yogi Berra would say, you can observe a lot

2217
01:58:30,400 --> 01:58:34,160
Speaker 2: by watching, and that's exactly what we do. You see,

2218
01:58:34,200 --> 01:58:36,320
Speaker 2: because all around this great land of ours, from seed

2219
01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:39,880
Speaker 2: to oily seed, and even around the globe, people do things. Man,

2220
01:58:40,640 --> 01:58:43,400
Speaker 2: They just they do things that really catch your eyes.

2221
01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:46,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes they're innocuous and kind of stupid and silly, and

2222
01:58:46,880 --> 01:58:50,120
Speaker 2: other times they are far more serious, and sometimes they

2223
01:58:50,120 --> 01:58:52,400
Speaker 2: can land you in jail. But any way you slice it,

2224
01:58:52,440 --> 01:58:55,800
Speaker 2: any way you characterize it, any way you describe it,

2225
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:59,960
Speaker 2: these behaviors always make you end up scratching your head

2226
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:02,920
Speaker 2: and asking yourself, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2227
01:59:03,440 --> 01:59:06,120
Speaker 2: So this made me the most unique one I have

2228
01:59:06,200 --> 01:59:12,160
Speaker 2: ever done, simply because the story itself spans over for

2229
01:59:12,400 --> 01:59:16,640
Speaker 2: your period. Yeah, let me glue this together for you

2230
01:59:16,720 --> 01:59:20,400
Speaker 2: and fill in the blanks. Can you imagine going to

2231
01:59:20,560 --> 01:59:26,200
Speaker 2: jail for nine years for wait for it, stealing chicken wings?

2232
01:59:27,560 --> 01:59:33,839
Speaker 2: You must have wanted them pretty bad, thanks Homer. Ladies

2233
01:59:33,840 --> 01:59:37,040
Speaker 2: and gentlemen, meet Vera Ldell to the height of COVID

2234
01:59:37,120 --> 01:59:39,640
Speaker 2: during a time where students were not physically allowed to

2235
01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:42,720
Speaker 2: be present in school, at least in Cook County, Illinois,

2236
01:59:42,760 --> 01:59:46,040
Speaker 2: and even though the children were sort of learning remotely,

2237
01:59:46,080 --> 01:59:50,040
Speaker 2: the school district continued actually to provide meals for students

2238
01:59:50,040 --> 01:59:55,840
Speaker 2: that their families could pick up. Well, here's where the

2239
01:59:55,920 --> 01:59:59,240
Speaker 2: story begins. One of the employees of the school district,

2240
01:59:59,360 --> 02:00:04,080
Speaker 2: Vera L. Ladell. She pleaded guilty last month for felony

2241
02:00:04,160 --> 02:00:08,839
Speaker 2: for stealing more than eleven thousand cases of chicken wings

2242
02:00:08,920 --> 02:00:12,520
Speaker 2: valued at one point five million, according to a report

2243
02:00:13,040 --> 02:00:15,720
Speaker 2: back in January twenty twenty three in a court document

2244
02:00:15,760 --> 02:00:20,760
Speaker 2: filed by the Cook County State Attorney's Office. Right, she

2245
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:24,480
Speaker 2: was ordering chicken wings to the tune of a million

2246
02:00:24,600 --> 02:00:28,160
Speaker 2: five that were built of the school district but never

2247
02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:33,320
Speaker 2: actually given to the students. That's where the massive fraud began.

2248
02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:39,800
Speaker 2: Missus Laddell was keeping them. Yes, she finally got caught

2249
02:00:40,880 --> 02:00:43,720
Speaker 2: and she entered a plea deal. And it's kind of

2250
02:00:43,760 --> 02:00:47,040
Speaker 2: interesting because the way the court document reads from July

2251
02:00:47,320 --> 02:00:49,720
Speaker 2: twenty twenty through February of twenty twenty two, quote Miss

2252
02:00:49,800 --> 02:00:53,920
Speaker 2: Ladell engaged in a pervasive embezzlement scheme by placing hundreds

2253
02:00:53,920 --> 02:00:57,560
Speaker 2: of unauthorized orders for food items, primarily chicken wings, with

2254
02:00:57,680 --> 02:01:00,160
Speaker 2: the school's main purveyor. I won't say the name of

2255
02:01:00,200 --> 02:01:03,440
Speaker 2: the business and the order for separate from the district's

2256
02:01:03,520 --> 02:01:08,000
Speaker 2: regular orders, and the food service company who did nothing wrong,

2257
02:01:08,360 --> 02:01:11,960
Speaker 2: thinking they were making legitimate purchases build the district. The

2258
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:15,280
Speaker 2: district paid the invoices, and during a mid year audit

2259
02:01:15,320 --> 02:01:19,280
Speaker 2: in January twenty twenty two, the district's business manager discovered

2260
02:01:19,640 --> 02:01:23,120
Speaker 2: that the food service department had already surpassed its annual

2261
02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:27,040
Speaker 2: budget by three hundred thousand dollars. So so part a

2262
02:01:27,080 --> 02:01:29,000
Speaker 2: closer review, you know, kind of like an NFL game

2263
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:31,760
Speaker 2: where they look at that TV, they discovered individual invoices

2264
02:01:32,160 --> 02:01:36,240
Speaker 2: signed by missus Ladell for massive quantities of chicken wings,

2265
02:01:37,000 --> 02:01:40,480
Speaker 2: an item that was never served as students. Why because

2266
02:01:40,480 --> 02:01:42,920
Speaker 2: they contained bones, you know, by the way, the chickens

2267
02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:47,120
Speaker 2: the students were not in school either. The story goes

2268
02:01:47,160 --> 02:01:49,040
Speaker 2: on and on and on with more numbers and facts

2269
02:01:49,080 --> 02:01:52,920
Speaker 2: and figures designed to make your head spind but suffices

2270
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:57,800
Speaker 2: to pay. Miss Ladell pled guilty. She's now facing nine

2271
02:01:57,880 --> 02:02:00,600
Speaker 2: years in jail. This story has a twist, and because

2272
02:02:00,600 --> 02:02:03,760
Speaker 2: it's football season, I have to share this part of

2273
02:02:03,800 --> 02:02:06,960
Speaker 2: it in a social media post. A couple of weeks back,

2274
02:02:07,040 --> 02:02:10,320
Speaker 2: Chris Jones, the stud defensive entackle or stud check that

2275
02:02:10,360 --> 02:02:13,960
Speaker 2: stud defensive tackle for the Kansasy Chiefs, offered to pay

2276
02:02:14,040 --> 02:02:17,240
Speaker 2: one point five million in the restitution in an effort

2277
02:02:17,240 --> 02:02:20,760
Speaker 2: to gain miss Ladell's freedom. Doesn't work that way, by

2278
02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:23,400
Speaker 2: the way, Her attorney said that she could not pay

2279
02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:27,040
Speaker 2: the restitution because she has a gambling problem. This story

2280
02:02:27,400 --> 02:02:29,360
Speaker 2: is all over the map. Chris Jones says, I'll pay

2281
02:02:29,400 --> 02:02:31,879
Speaker 2: it for the wings she stole to get her free. Unfortunately,

2282
02:02:31,960 --> 02:02:34,280
Speaker 2: doesn't work that way. So there you have a chicken

2283
02:02:34,320 --> 02:02:37,800
Speaker 2: wings gambling in the Chicago school district and a player

2284
02:02:37,800 --> 02:02:40,200
Speaker 2: for the Kansas City Chiefs who tried to help her out,

2285
02:02:40,520 --> 02:02:43,360
Speaker 2: going all the way back to COVID, which leaves you

2286
02:02:43,400 --> 02:02:47,000
Speaker 2: asking yourself here, Ladell, what kind of brand new fool

2287
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:50,040
Speaker 2: of you? Okay, bray let her in?

2288
02:02:51,320 --> 02:02:54,720
Speaker 14: All righty, So we're going to head to Kenosha, Wisconsin

2289
02:02:55,600 --> 02:02:56,920
Speaker 14: instead of can you hear me now?

2290
02:02:56,960 --> 02:02:58,720
Speaker 15: Can you charge me now? As kind of what I

2291
02:02:58,760 --> 02:02:59,240
Speaker 15: was thinking.

2292
02:02:59,360 --> 02:03:04,680
Speaker 14: So, seven year old Tomorrow Levonnroy broke into Kenoshaus City

2293

2295
02:03:12,560 --> 02:03:14,400
Speaker 14: kind of like a kid's concert. It was like a

2296
02:03:14,400 --> 02:03:16,720
Speaker 14: five o'clock like a park kind of like a park

2297
02:03:16,720 --> 02:03:17,760

Speaker 14: Still the end of the summer, so there was a

2300
02:03:20,520 --> 02:03:23,800
Speaker 14: ton of witnesses. But the police department responded to a

2301
02:03:24,320 --> 02:03:30,080
Speaker 14: burglary call at the municipal building, and while the police

2302
02:03:30,120 --> 02:03:32,560
Speaker 14: officer was approaching the building, he was flagged down by

2303

2305
02:03:41,760 --> 02:03:44,880
Speaker 14: When police officers entered, they saw him just sitting in

2306
02:03:44,920 --> 02:03:46,280
Speaker 14: a chair outside.

2307
02:03:45,880 --> 02:03:50,280

Speaker 2: I still really wanted to charge that phone. Pretty damn bad.

2310
02:03:55,360 --> 02:03:58,680
Speaker 14: It must have been really really empty, like just dying

2311
02:03:58,800 --> 02:03:59,560
Speaker 14: at that point.

2312
02:04:00,360 --> 02:04:02,720

2327
02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:47,200
Speaker 9: Yes, actually we're actually on to that backyard, Bernie, right

2328
02:04:47,280 --> 02:04:50,520
Speaker 9: in your neck of the woods there in Las Vegas, Ah,

2329
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:54,880
Speaker 9: where police have arrested a man, David McGhee, sixty one,

2330
02:04:54,920 --> 02:04:58,400
Speaker 9: who's from Winston Salem, North Carolina, which ironically I actually

2331
02:04:58,400 --> 02:05:01,200
Speaker 9: lived there for a few years, but he's a pastor

2332
02:05:01,360 --> 02:05:04,560
Speaker 9: from a church in Winston Salem, North Carolina. He was

2333
02:05:04,680 --> 02:05:08,280
Speaker 9: arrested on weapons and drug charges after he flew on

2334
02:05:08,360 --> 02:05:12,880
Speaker 9: a private jet to go and try to find his

2335
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:15,840
Speaker 9: daughter who was living in those storm draams, which actually,

2336
02:05:15,880 --> 02:05:18,040
Speaker 9: if you go on YouTube, there's some fascinating videos on

2337
02:05:18,080 --> 02:05:21,920
Speaker 9: the underground homeless city in Las Vegas and those storm dreams,

2338
02:05:22,760 --> 02:05:28,640
Speaker 9: and he decided to bring guns and drugs. Specifically, he

2339
02:05:28,760 --> 02:05:31,440
Speaker 9: reported an item missing from his room, which of course

2340
02:05:31,480 --> 02:05:34,440
Speaker 9: prompted police to come and investigate. They asked if he

2341
02:05:34,480 --> 02:05:36,160
Speaker 9: had a gun. He said, yeah, I got a shotgun

2342
02:05:36,200 --> 02:05:42,520
Speaker 9: in my guitar case. Now, given what happened, given what

2343
02:05:42,600 --> 02:05:47,080
Speaker 9: happened back in twenty seventeen, police take guns in a

2344
02:05:47,080 --> 02:05:50,040
Speaker 9: hotel room very very seriously. So they began searching found

2345
02:05:50,080 --> 02:05:53,640
Speaker 9: in Ar fifteen with a scope. Also found fentanyl and

2346
02:05:53,680 --> 02:05:59,040
Speaker 9: other powdery substances, and when asked about it, he advised

2347
02:05:59,040 --> 02:06:01,720
Speaker 9: the detective he brought the fetanyl from North Carolina in

2348
02:06:01,800 --> 02:06:04,440
Speaker 9: his private jet and paid approximately one thousand for it,

2349
02:06:04,480 --> 02:06:06,720
Speaker 9: in that he was a user of it and intended

2350
02:06:06,720 --> 02:06:09,400
Speaker 9: to distribute the fetanyls to his dormage jet. So he's

2351
02:06:09,400 --> 02:06:11,840
Speaker 9: got a he's a pastor with a private jet. He's

2352
02:06:11,840 --> 02:06:15,240
Speaker 9: a pastor, a pastor at a church and guns private jets.

2353
02:06:16,280 --> 02:06:18,160
Speaker 2: He's hanging hero out the homeless in Las Vegas. I'm sorry,

2354
02:06:18,160 --> 02:06:18,480
Speaker 2: go ahead.

2355
02:06:18,600 --> 02:06:23,280
Speaker 9: So apparently his daughter, yea, his daughter is apparently missing

2356
02:06:23,480 --> 02:06:26,680
Speaker 9: within that homeless encampment in the storm drain, so he

2357
02:06:26,760 --> 02:06:29,240
Speaker 9: went to go look for her so he can distribute

2358
02:06:29,240 --> 02:06:32,040
Speaker 9: that fetanyl to her. Well, of course he was arrested

2359
02:06:32,080 --> 02:06:36,320
Speaker 9: on weapons and drug charges, So, uh, man, one thing

2360
02:06:36,360 --> 02:06:38,760
Speaker 9: to have your daughter missing in a homeless encampment another

2361
02:06:38,840 --> 02:06:43,240
Speaker 9: to try to bring weapons and drugs to her in

2362

2434
02:10:47,400 --> 02:10:50,640
Speaker 2: So Mark Ramsey, I'm the defensive end who tackled Aaron

2435
02:10:50,720 --> 02:10:54,200

02:11:57,680 --> 02:12:00,160
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I am the greatest of all time.

2455
02:12:00,200 --> 02:12:02,520

2459
02:12:17,640 --> 02:12:18,640
Speaker 18: So the question again?

2460
02:12:19,560 --> 02:12:23,680

2464
02:12:35,560 --> 02:12:37,720
Speaker 2: to have won the MVP Award five times? Bre you

2465
02:12:37,720 --> 02:12:38,280
Speaker 2: what my name?

2466
02:12:39,320 --> 02:12:43,400
Speaker 14: I'm gonna guess I'm just thinking multiple Peyton Manning.

2467
02:12:43,760 --> 02:12:48,080
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning is absolutely correct. Five MVPs for that knock

2468
02:12:48,120 --> 02:12:49,960
Speaker 2: under benefit. The couple went forward right.

2469
02:12:50,600 --> 02:12:52,840
Speaker 4: Co MVP with Steve McNair. Is that count?

2470
02:12:53,320 --> 02:12:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? It definitely counts. Yeah, and that brings back a

2471
02:12:56,320 --> 02:12:59,200
Speaker 2: good memory. I'm going to say that was nineteen ninety nine.

2472
02:12:59,240 --> 02:13:06,520
Speaker 2: It must have been, yeah, yeah, exactly. All right, this

2473
02:13:06,680 --> 02:13:09,840
Speaker 2: is very topical since we have so many rookie quarterbacks

2474
02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:16,400
Speaker 2: starting on Sunday. I'm the last rookie first round quarterback

2475
02:13:17,080 --> 02:13:19,879
Speaker 2: to win in my first ever start in the National

2476

Speaker 2: C J.

2486
02:13:40,360 --> 02:13:41,600

02:13:58,880 --> 02:14:03,520
Speaker 2: Mark, I'm the last rookie first round quarterback to win

2493
02:14:03,560 --> 02:14:06,360
Speaker 2: in his first start debut in the National Football League.

2494
02:14:06,360 --> 02:14:07,080
Speaker 2: Bree you what my name?

2495
02:14:08,600 --> 02:14:10,680
Speaker 15: I'm gonna guys, Sam Donald?

2496
02:14:10,840 --> 02:14:14,240
Speaker 2: It is, in fact, Sam Donald. Sam Donald did it.

2497
02:14:14,600 --> 02:14:17,040
Speaker 2: Did it against the Detroit Lions, and I'll never forget that.

2498
02:14:17,360 --> 02:14:20,879
Speaker 9: Listed like two dozen guys bell follow it against Sam Donald.

2499
02:14:20,920 --> 02:14:24,000
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. I remember the game very well.

2500
02:14:24,480 --> 02:14:26,240
Speaker 2: Get first rolls against the Lions. He was back in

2501
02:14:26,280 --> 02:14:29,520
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, and he threw a pick six to start

2502
02:14:29,520 --> 02:14:29,760
Speaker 2: the game.

2503
02:14:29,840 --> 02:14:30,400
Speaker 4: I remember that.

2504
02:14:30,520 --> 02:14:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the first or second player of the game.

2505
02:14:32,560 --> 02:14:35,560
Speaker 2: Here we go Lions. No, no, oh, no, he suck again.

2506
02:14:36,120 --> 02:14:38,680
Speaker 2: The Lions went on to lose that game. And listen,

2507
02:14:38,960 --> 02:14:40,600
Speaker 2: I'm one of the few people that don't think Sam

2508
02:14:40,600 --> 02:14:42,560
Speaker 2: Donald's that bad. He's in a pretty good situation. Now,

2509
02:14:42,600 --> 02:14:43,840
Speaker 2: let's see what he can do. But I don't think

2510
02:14:43,840 --> 02:14:46,040
Speaker 2: he's that bad. But Sam Donald is in fact the

2511
02:14:46,040 --> 02:14:49,760
Speaker 2: correct answer. Now here's a twist on that question. Here's

2512
02:14:49,760 --> 02:14:53,800
Speaker 2: a variation on that question. I'm the last number one

2513
02:14:54,080 --> 02:14:59,160
Speaker 2: overall pick, not just first round. The last number one

2514
02:14:59,200 --> 02:15:02,440
Speaker 2: overall pick is quarterback to win my first ever start

2515
02:15:02,480 --> 02:15:05,920
Speaker 2: in the National Football League, Kevin Wyatt, what my name?

2516
02:15:06,160 --> 02:15:08,360
Speaker 4: The last number one overall pick?

2517
02:15:08,560 --> 02:15:10,320
Speaker 2: Number one overall picks want.

2518
02:15:10,160 --> 02:15:15,080
Speaker 4: To start, I'm gonna go Cam Newton.

2519
02:15:15,520 --> 02:15:20,560
Speaker 2: Not Cam Newton. I'm the last number one overall pick

2520
02:15:21,240 --> 02:15:24,880
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. To win my first start,

2521
02:15:25,400 --> 02:15:26,560
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, what my name?

2522
02:15:27,840 --> 02:15:29,600
Speaker 18: I'm guessing Joe Burrow.

2523
02:15:30,240 --> 02:15:33,720
Speaker 2: Not Joe Burrow. By the way, Cam Newton's a good guess.

2524
02:15:33,720 --> 02:15:35,720
Speaker 2: He's through for like four hundred yards in his first game,

2525
02:15:35,720 --> 02:15:38,040
Speaker 2: and I don't think they won all right, last number

2526
02:15:38,040 --> 02:15:41,440
Speaker 2: one overall pick in the National Football League, number one

2527
02:15:41,560 --> 02:15:44,480
Speaker 2: overall pick is a quarterback to win my first start,

2528
02:15:44,520 --> 02:15:48,280
Speaker 2: my debut start. I'll bree you what my name to

2529
02:15:50,000 --> 02:15:53,080
Speaker 2: not toua. Okay, we're gonna go around the room sometimes

2530
02:15:53,160 --> 02:15:55,440
Speaker 2: we do this. Here's a clue. He's got a brother

2531
02:15:56,000 --> 02:15:58,480
Speaker 2: that's still playing in the National Football League. Can anybody

2532
02:15:58,520 --> 02:16:04,880
Speaker 2: yell it out? Going once, going twice, going three times?

2533
02:16:05,440 --> 02:16:08,080
Speaker 15: David Carr, No, David Carr is.

2534
02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:11,160
Speaker 2: The correct day, because Derek Carr is still playing.

2535
02:16:11,400 --> 02:16:13,200
Speaker 4: Oh gay, if you want to call it that.

2536
02:16:13,280 --> 02:16:15,000
Speaker 2: If you want to call it that, David.

2537
02:16:14,720 --> 02:16:18,920
Speaker 9: Carr is really taking a page out of the the

2538
02:16:19,000 --> 02:16:19,840
Speaker 9: memory book there.

2539

Speaker 14: a good impression guy.

2541
02:16:23,400 --> 02:16:28,040

Speaker 2: car excuse me, was playing for the Houston Texans, and

2543
02:16:31,200 --> 02:16:34,039
Speaker 2: I believe he did it against the Dallas Cowboys. I

2544
02:16:34,040 --> 02:16:36,080
Speaker 2: think he did it against the Dallas Cowboys, and it's

2545
02:16:36,120 --> 02:16:41,080
Speaker 2: all the way back in twenty two. Yeah, twenty two.

2550

Speaker 4: Rushing yards in a Week one game.

2551
02:17:02,560 --> 02:17:03,959
Speaker 2: In a Week one game.

2552
02:17:03,800 --> 02:17:06,360

02:20:13,720 --> 02:20:16,720

02:20:34,640 --> 02:20:36,959
Speaker 9: a team they were favored against. They trailed against Idaho

2622
02:20:37,080 --> 02:20:40,440
Speaker 9: last week, and they were in action against Boise State

2623
02:20:40,520 --> 02:20:43,160

Speaker 9: State taking the lead on a fourth quarter fumble return

2637
02:21:27,800 --> 02:21:30,279
Speaker 9: for a touchdown and then they got a key interception

2638
02:21:30,400 --> 02:21:33,240
Speaker 9: in the end zone as Tulane in the final seconds

2639
02:21:33,240 --> 02:21:35,520
Speaker 9: trying to drive down and tie the game, but the

2640
02:21:35,520 --> 02:21:38,160

02:21:53,200 --> 02:21:56,680
Speaker 9: Tech thirty one to twenty eight. And in NFL News,

2647
02:21:56,680 --> 02:21:59,560
Speaker 9: we got a few updates from Ian Rappaport as well

2648
02:21:59,560 --> 02:22:03,440
Speaker 9: as Adam Chefter in ESPN. First, we got an update

02:22:03,480 --> 02:22:06,879
Speaker 9: from ESPN regarding the forty nine ers, saying Trent Williams

2650
02:22:07,720 --> 02:22:10,520
Speaker 9: will have a full workload Monday night, however, and this

2651
02:22:10,560 --> 02:22:13,199
Speaker 9: is key for fantasy owners that will be reduced snaps

2652
02:22:13,680 --> 02:22:17,000
Speaker 9: for Brandon iu Gas for Rappaport, he had several updates

2653
02:22:17,040 --> 02:22:19,959
Speaker 9: in the last couple of hours. Tyler Lockett, the Seahawks

2654
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:22,600
Speaker 9: wide receiver, listened as questionable with a thigh injury. He

2655
02:22:22,600 --> 02:22:26,840
Speaker 9: has expected to play today. Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey has

2656
02:22:26,840 --> 02:22:29,320
Speaker 9: a hamstring issue. He will attempt to play today, but

2657
02:22:29,720 --> 02:22:33,520
Speaker 9: he is questionable, and he won't be at his full strength,

2658
02:22:33,560 --> 02:22:35,640
Speaker 9: and he's gonna try to get give it a go,

2659
02:22:35,840 --> 02:22:38,480
Speaker 9: but they're gonna say he's on a pitch count. Lions

2660
02:22:38,560 --> 02:22:42,000
Speaker 9: offensive tackle Dj Reader is attempting to return from the

2661
02:22:42,120 --> 02:22:46,200
Speaker 9: quad injury, but according to Rapaport, his sources say that

2662
02:22:46,320 --> 02:22:48,560
Speaker 9: he's not ready to return to play this week. Next

2663
02:22:48,600 --> 02:22:53,160
Speaker 9: week is a far more realistic timeline. And Bear's wide

2664
02:22:53,200 --> 02:22:58,160
Speaker 9: receiver Keenan Allen and pass rusher Montes Sweat listen as questionable,

2665

2667
02:23:07,280 --> 02:23:10,959
Speaker 9: he is questionable with a hip injury. Back to you,

2668
02:23:11,000 --> 02:23:12,320
Speaker 9: Bernie all.

2669
02:23:12,280 --> 02:23:18,440
Speaker 2: Right, chef Russell's vocal cords. So the real American football

2670
02:23:18,560 --> 02:23:21,680
Speaker 2: is upon us, but we can't ignore it. The football

2673

Speaker 3: Soccer, the greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama.

2674
02:23:49,760 --> 02:23:53,199
Speaker 3: It's all here in this report from the World of soccer.

2675
02:23:53,360 --> 02:23:56,360
Speaker 13: A quick international break here this weekend, Bernie, we got

2676
02:23:56,480 --> 02:23:59,920
Speaker 13: UAPA Nations League in Conker calf in action and across

2677
02:24:00,080 --> 02:24:03,400
Speaker 13: the world, so club soccer takes again a back seat.

2678
02:24:03,800 --> 02:24:06,400
Speaker 13: Not really much to talk about besides a very shocking

2679
02:24:06,440 --> 02:24:10,000
Speaker 13: three to one victory for Italy over France to start

2680
02:24:10,040 --> 02:24:14,720
Speaker 13: the group stage of UEFA Nations League. Just killing Ambape

2681
02:24:15,040 --> 02:24:18,000
Speaker 13: very invisible. I mean, he's been scoring goals in his

2682
02:24:18,080 --> 02:24:23,120
Speaker 13: Madrid showing, showing, but in general some very stark, very

2683
02:24:23,160 --> 02:24:27,320
Speaker 13: surprising results here. For the French side of things, US

2684
02:24:27,520 --> 02:24:29,600
Speaker 13: is not playing in Nations League this weekend. They'll be

2685
02:24:29,600 --> 02:24:33,560
Speaker 13: having a friendly on Saturday with Canada. It's a good

2686
02:24:33,600 --> 02:24:36,720
Speaker 13: time to step back and once again appreciate what has

2687
02:24:36,879 --> 02:24:42,360
Speaker 13: been the almost unstoppable dominance of one Earling Holland. We'll

2688
02:24:42,360 --> 02:24:43,960
Speaker 13: love to see what he else on the international side

2689
02:24:43,959 --> 02:24:45,720
Speaker 13: of things, But can we talk a little bit about

2690
02:24:45,959 --> 02:24:49,320
Speaker 13: what he's done out of the gate for Manchester City. Now,

2691
02:24:49,360 --> 02:24:51,120
Speaker 13: if you don't know the name Earling Holland, he really

2692
02:24:51,120 --> 02:24:53,480
Speaker 13: came onto the scene in twenty twenty two where he

2693
02:24:53,520 --> 02:24:57,720
Speaker 13: came over from German side Borussia Dortmund and almost immediately

2694
02:24:57,720 --> 02:25:00,680
Speaker 13: out of the gate just scoring a tremendous amount of goals.

2695
02:25:00,680 --> 02:25:03,080
Speaker 13: In his first year with Manchester City, he had more

2696
02:25:03,120 --> 02:25:06,680
Speaker 13: goals than appearances. So far in twenty twenty four. Right now,

2697
02:25:06,959 --> 02:25:10,560
Speaker 13: Earling Holland has seven goals in three appearances. And to

2698
02:25:10,600 --> 02:25:13,600
Speaker 13: help you with that math, let's just go ahead and

2699
02:25:13,680 --> 02:25:15,280
Speaker 13: tell you how that breaks down. Right now, two of

2700
02:25:15,320 --> 02:25:18,480
Speaker 13: those games are hat tricks. Two of those games he

2701
02:25:18,520 --> 02:25:23,560
Speaker 13: had three goals in two separate games. Yes, it's unbelievable

2702
02:25:24,120 --> 02:25:28,680
Speaker 13: and just a tremendous, tremendous force. Already starting off, Earling

2703
02:25:28,680 --> 02:25:32,440
Speaker 13: Hollands joined some exclusive Premier League history because only six

2704
02:25:32,520 --> 02:25:36,200
Speaker 13: players have ever scored hat tricks in consecutive Premier League matches,

2705
02:25:36,680 --> 02:25:40,520
Speaker 13: and his scoring records already put him en route as

2706
02:25:40,560 --> 02:25:44,879
Speaker 13: a very early early favorite for the Beloondior. Just a

2707
02:25:45,080 --> 02:25:49,520
Speaker 13: tremendous amount of power once again, as Manchester City just

2708
02:25:49,560 --> 02:25:51,760
Speaker 13: reminds the world that they may have one of the

2709
02:25:51,840 --> 02:25:54,959
Speaker 13: greatest young players in the world right now. I will

2710
02:25:54,959 --> 02:25:58,400
Speaker 13: put him up there against Killing and Bape for the

2711
02:25:58,440 --> 02:26:01,680
Speaker 13: time being, just because this scoring does not seem to

2712
02:26:01,680 --> 02:26:04,240
Speaker 13: be stopping anytime soon. But as we said, Bernie, the

2713
02:26:04,240 --> 02:26:07,080
Speaker 13: men's side is on a break here and for the

2714
02:26:07,120 --> 02:26:09,680
Speaker 13: international competition, and it's a good time to talk about

2715
02:26:09,720 --> 02:26:13,800
Speaker 13: the retirement of one of America's great Alex Morgan announcing

2716
02:26:13,840 --> 02:26:18,400
Speaker 13: this week that she intends to end her playing career

2717
02:26:18,560 --> 02:26:23,400
Speaker 13: after this weekend in professional women's soccer, that she will

2718
02:26:23,400 --> 02:26:25,480
Speaker 13: be saying her role moving into the future will be

2719
02:26:25,600 --> 02:26:29,480
Speaker 13: investing in women's sports. Also announced that she is pregnant

2720
02:26:29,680 --> 02:26:32,720
Speaker 13: with her second child and will end her professional playing

2721
02:26:32,760 --> 02:26:37,920
Speaker 13: career after Sunday's game against the North Carolina Courage in

2722
02:26:37,959 --> 02:26:41,400
Speaker 13: the National Women's Soccer League NWSL. This brings to a

2723
02:26:41,440 --> 02:26:47,080
Speaker 13: close a tremendous career for Alex Morgan, thirty five years old,

2724
02:26:47,360 --> 02:26:49,600
Speaker 13: with two World Cup titles to her name and a

2725
02:26:49,680 --> 02:26:53,600
Speaker 13: gold medal from twenty twelve London Olympics. Morgan has been

2726
02:26:53,640 --> 02:26:57,760
Speaker 13: around the block, been working for fifteen years here with

2727
02:26:57,879 --> 02:27:01,720
Speaker 13: the national team. All in all, one hundred and twenty

2728
02:27:01,720 --> 02:27:04,400
Speaker 13: three goals for the United States in about just over

2729
02:27:04,440 --> 02:27:08,080
Speaker 13: two hundred and twenty appearances, and it's important to remember

2730
02:27:08,120 --> 02:27:10,520
Speaker 13: that Alex Morgan was doing this bright and early. She

2731
02:27:10,600 --> 02:27:12,720
Speaker 13: was one of the youngest US soccer players to go

2732
02:27:12,760 --> 02:27:15,520
Speaker 13: out there and score twenty goals in a single season.

2733
02:27:15,800 --> 02:27:19,160
Speaker 13: She earned accolades throughout her her entire career and led

2734
02:27:19,160 --> 02:27:22,040
Speaker 13: the way in turning the US women's team into a

2735
02:27:22,200 --> 02:27:24,480
Speaker 13: force that is recognized the world over one of the

2736
02:27:24,560 --> 02:27:28,080
Speaker 13: largest in women's sports, along with Carli Lloyd and Meghan Rapino,

2737
02:27:28,360 --> 02:27:30,400
Speaker 13: and she was for a long time the last link

2738
02:27:30,480 --> 02:27:34,160
Speaker 13: to that old generation. It was not assumed that she'd

2739
02:27:34,200 --> 02:27:38,080
Speaker 13: be playing in another Women's World Cup coming up here

2740
02:27:38,720 --> 02:27:41,039
Speaker 13: given her age at this point, but also at the

2741
02:27:41,080 --> 02:27:45,520
Speaker 13: same time continue to play professional soccer for the San

2742
02:27:45,560 --> 02:27:48,280
Speaker 13: Diego Wave, but after Sunday that will be no more.

2743
02:27:48,560 --> 02:27:52,480
Speaker 13: So make sure to tune in if you can Sunday

2744
02:27:51,680 --> 02:27:56,040
Speaker 13: as the San Diego Wave take on the North Carolina

2745
02:27:56,120 --> 02:28:00,880
Speaker 13: Courage as the final farewell to more Morgan, a true

2746
02:28:00,879 --> 02:28:03,959
Speaker 13: American patriot when it comes to the game of soccer.

2747
02:28:04,320 --> 02:28:07,520
Speaker 4: Now only, however, if ESPN would cover it a little

2748
02:28:07,560 --> 02:28:08,000
Speaker 4: bit better.

2749
02:28:08,560 --> 02:28:10,800
Speaker 13: I don't know if you saw this, Bernie, and I

2750
02:28:10,879 --> 02:28:13,760
Speaker 13: understand I'm getting into some thorny territory here. People love

2751
02:28:14,000 --> 02:28:17,280
Speaker 13: artificial intelligence or what they call AI, which is actually

2752
02:28:17,360 --> 02:28:20,520
Speaker 13: large language models, is not actually intelligent. It's just guessing

2753
02:28:20,560 --> 02:28:22,600
Speaker 13: at what you do. But this has been the big

2754
02:28:22,640 --> 02:28:24,800
Speaker 13: thing for investors is people who try to figure out

2755
02:28:24,840 --> 02:28:30,959
Speaker 13: ways to shoehorn in artificial intelligence AI large language models into.

2756
02:28:30,600 --> 02:28:32,960
Speaker 4: Our sports and our sports coverage.

2757
02:28:33,480 --> 02:28:36,880
Speaker 13: We had this incident here with NBC putting on a

2758
02:28:37,000 --> 02:28:45,600
Speaker 13: fake Al Michaels to do recaps of Olympics during in Paris.

2759
02:28:45,840 --> 02:28:48,879
Speaker 13: But ESPN made an announcement here this week that said,

2760
02:28:49,080 --> 02:28:50,560
Speaker 13: and this was from their front row. This is from

2761
02:28:50,600 --> 02:28:54,640
Speaker 13: their big pr thing that they were trying to bring

2762
02:28:54,680 --> 02:28:58,680
Speaker 13: in a new AI project that was going to, in

2763
02:28:58,760 --> 02:29:02,360
Speaker 13: their words, basically help them write stories that would serve

2764
02:29:02,360 --> 02:29:05,560
Speaker 13: what they call underserved sports. One of those happening to

2765
02:29:05,640 --> 02:29:09,800
Speaker 13: be the National Women's Soccer League and WSL along with

2766
02:29:10,000 --> 02:29:13,480
Speaker 13: the Premier Lacrosse League. So this is something they've been

2767
02:29:13,560 --> 02:29:16,240
Speaker 13: wanting to roll out and what they call underserved sports.

2768
02:29:16,400 --> 02:29:20,560
Speaker 13: It's important to note too that the recap blurb they

2769
02:29:20,600 --> 02:29:23,879
Speaker 13: meant to showcase. The feature got the record of the

2770
02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:27,520
Speaker 13: Washington Spirit wrong, so right out of the gate, just

2771
02:29:27,760 --> 02:29:31,840
Speaker 13: really really not working well. I find this very cynical.

2772
02:29:32,000 --> 02:29:36,840
Speaker 13: I find its decision, ESPN's decision to use AI technology

2773
02:29:36,840 --> 02:29:41,720
Speaker 13: from Microsoft very cynical. To call them underserved is ridiculous

2774
02:29:42,400 --> 02:29:44,640
Speaker 13: to call them. And what you do if you see

2775
02:29:44,680 --> 02:29:46,960
Speaker 13: an underserved sport and you think you need to solve

2776
02:29:46,959 --> 02:29:50,400
Speaker 13: the problem is you hire people to actually cover those sports.

2777
02:29:50,760 --> 02:29:54,960
Speaker 13: AI cannot cover those sports. It can only regurgitate, screw

2778
02:29:55,080 --> 02:29:58,680
Speaker 13: up and make mistakes. You're better off not covering them

2779
02:29:58,720 --> 02:30:02,080
Speaker 13: at all than putting an AI on it, because it's insulting.

2780
02:30:02,240 --> 02:30:05,119
Speaker 13: There's many people out there who are very passionate about

2781
02:30:05,120 --> 02:30:06,160
Speaker 13: the NWSL.

2782
02:30:06,440 --> 02:30:07,840
Speaker 4: I've met in many of those people.

2783
02:30:08,000 --> 02:30:13,279
Speaker 13: They would gladly write about the NWSL if given the opportunity. Instead,

2784
02:30:13,320 --> 02:30:16,920
Speaker 13: you roll out this AI slop that just gets facts

2785
02:30:16,959 --> 02:30:21,280
Speaker 13: wrong all the time and insults real hard working journalists,

2786
02:30:21,360 --> 02:30:25,440
Speaker 13: hardworking coverage and insults that sport by deciding to put

2787
02:30:25,600 --> 02:30:28,560
Speaker 13: something in there that just literally guessing it doesn't know anything,

2788
02:30:28,600 --> 02:30:31,160
Speaker 13: It doesn't know what a right score is. It scrapes

2789
02:30:31,200 --> 02:30:33,800
Speaker 13: the internet and tries to make an inference and guess

2790
02:30:33,840 --> 02:30:36,240
Speaker 13: what it thinks is right, and in this case, all

2791
02:30:36,240 --> 02:30:38,640
Speaker 13: it can do is just keep getting things wrong. I've

2792
02:30:38,680 --> 02:30:40,800
Speaker 13: seen Gannett roll out the same thing to try to

2793
02:30:40,800 --> 02:30:44,160
Speaker 13: cover high school sports and it is always, always, always

2794
02:30:44,160 --> 02:30:47,560
Speaker 13: pointed out at getting stuff wrong all the time. This

2795
02:30:47,600 --> 02:30:50,000
Speaker 13: is not a new innovative to technology. It's been tried

2796
02:30:50,000 --> 02:30:52,240
Speaker 13: many times before, and it's not really helping anyone at

2797
02:30:52,240 --> 02:30:54,679
Speaker 13: the end of the day by serving them with aislop

2798
02:30:54,959 --> 02:30:57,240
Speaker 13: instead of actual coverage of these games.

2799
02:30:57,360 --> 02:30:59,480
Speaker 4: What it is is a quick buck in.

2800
02:30:59,600 --> 02:31:03,400
Speaker 13: It's to try to get investors to show to show investors, look, look.

2801
02:31:03,240 --> 02:31:05,039
Speaker 4: We're using AI. We're using AI.

2802
02:31:05,320 --> 02:31:09,000
Speaker 13: Because investors then blindly then throw money at you. This

2803
02:31:09,080 --> 02:31:11,720
Speaker 13: is not something that belongs in the world of soccer.

2804
02:31:12,040 --> 02:31:14,880
Speaker 13: Soccer is a sport of the people for the people,

2805
02:31:15,120 --> 02:31:18,360
Speaker 13: and it has always been very sensitive to that. Shame

2806
02:31:18,400 --> 02:31:22,000
Speaker 13: on ESPN for doing this, Shame on these AI companies

2807
02:31:22,000 --> 02:31:23,800
Speaker 13: for trying to sell us this idea that it can

2808
02:31:23,879 --> 02:31:27,879
Speaker 13: replace human beings covering these sports. And ESPN, if you

2809
02:31:27,879 --> 02:31:31,160
Speaker 13: think the NWSL is underserved, go hire some people to

2810
02:31:31,200 --> 02:31:32,080
Speaker 13: start serving them.

2811
02:31:32,280 --> 02:31:34,039
Speaker 4: That's all I've got for you this week, Bernie. Enjoy

2812
02:31:34,080 --> 02:31:34,880
Speaker 4: the world of soccer.

2813
02:31:36,240 --> 02:31:38,120
Speaker 2: Wow, a lot to get off as chefs there, and

2814
02:31:38,160 --> 02:31:41,119
Speaker 2: of course the end of an era Alex Morgan as

2815
02:31:41,160 --> 02:31:45,200
Speaker 2: she moves on getting pregnant and playing a game and

2816
02:31:45,320 --> 02:31:49,199
Speaker 2: other net not much going on. Well, I won't be watching.

2817
02:31:49,280 --> 02:31:53,320
Speaker 2: I'll be watching the other football. And if there's only

2818
02:31:53,400 --> 02:31:55,440
Speaker 2: one game I could watch all weekend, would have to

2819
02:31:55,440 --> 02:31:57,840
Speaker 2: be Aaron Rodgers' money and I have to see what

2820
02:31:57,879 --> 02:32:00,360
Speaker 2: that looks like. I have to see what that looks like.

2821
02:32:00,360 --> 02:32:01,879
Speaker 2: I mean, by the way they're playing the Niners, it's

2822
02:32:01,879 --> 02:32:03,560
Speaker 2: gonna be abut it's gonna be a hell of a game.

2823
02:32:04,320 --> 02:32:07,760
Speaker 2: But if there's only one game I could watch Sunday

2824
02:32:08,320 --> 02:32:12,360
Speaker 2: all day Sunday, Well, this particular game, it's not a

2825
02:32:12,400 --> 02:32:16,320
Speaker 2: divisional matchup, it's not even really on paper something that

2826
02:32:16,360 --> 02:32:19,240
Speaker 2: would look sexy. But I will say this, there are

2827
02:32:19,280 --> 02:32:23,080
Speaker 2: so many storylines around this game that this is the

2828
02:32:23,160 --> 02:32:27,200
Speaker 2: one game I would watch, and I'm gonna watch. I'll

2829
02:32:27,240 --> 02:32:29,520
Speaker 2: share that. Coming up, I'm Bernie fradda Were Company live

2830
02:32:29,520 --> 02:32:32,199
Speaker 2: from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, tirect dot Com Studios.

2831
02:32:32,840 --> 02:32:34,680
Speaker 2: Keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show

2832
02:32:34,680 --> 02:32:37,480
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. All right, we are wrapping it

2833
02:32:37,600 --> 02:32:40,120
Speaker 2: up on the Bernie Frattle Show Company live from the

2834
02:32:40,280 --> 02:32:44,280
Speaker 2: Tyrek dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. Before I

2835
02:32:44,320 --> 02:32:48,040
Speaker 2: go any further, I want to thank my broadcast team

2836
02:32:48,080 --> 02:32:51,960
Speaker 2: back in Los Angeles. They've been with me since eleven

2837
02:32:52,000 --> 02:32:57,800
Speaker 2: pm Pacific time on Saturday night. Shay was out Bree

2838
02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:00,560
Speaker 2: stepping in for Shay tonight. Thank you for very much

2839
02:33:01,520 --> 02:33:05,280
Speaker 2: our executive producer, Mark Ramsey, our technical producer turning all

2840
02:33:05,320 --> 02:33:07,600
Speaker 2: the dials keeping us glued together, and of course Kevin

2841
02:33:07,640 --> 02:33:10,760
Speaker 2: Wyre at the chef on the updates and all three

2842
02:33:10,800 --> 02:33:14,280
Speaker 2: of you. Outstanding job tonight. Let's keep it one hundred

2843
02:33:14,360 --> 02:33:16,960
Speaker 2: when we don't have our crew, we don't have a show,

2844
02:33:17,640 --> 02:33:20,000
Speaker 2: so appreciate all the efforts that it would be since

2845
02:33:20,000 --> 02:33:23,240
Speaker 2: eleven pm on Saturday night. We got a hell of

2846
02:33:23,280 --> 02:33:26,880
Speaker 2: a lot of nice feedback tonight on on Twitter. All right,

2847
02:33:26,920 --> 02:33:30,520
Speaker 2: So the one game that's really got my curiosity for Sunday,

2848
02:33:31,480 --> 02:33:32,920
Speaker 2: let me just try to set this up and you know,

2849
02:33:32,959 --> 02:33:35,080
Speaker 2: figure it out who it is pretty quickly, you know.

2850
02:33:35,160 --> 02:33:38,480
Speaker 2: Back in twenty twenty, Deshaun Watson completed seventy percent of

2851
02:33:38,520 --> 02:33:41,600
Speaker 2: his passes. He threw about three hundred and two yards

2852
02:33:41,640 --> 02:33:43,920
Speaker 2: a game. He threw for thirty three touchdowns and only

2853
02:33:43,959 --> 02:33:48,080
Speaker 2: seven interceptions, but his team won just four games that season.

2854
02:33:48,720 --> 02:33:52,480
Speaker 2: Football is not an easy game. Let's start with the

2855
02:33:52,600 --> 02:33:57,199
Speaker 2: quarterback matchups between Cleveland and Dallas. He got DeShawn former

2856
02:33:57,240 --> 02:34:00,720
Speaker 2: Texan star. He's played just twelve games in two seasons.

2857
02:34:01,040 --> 02:34:03,280
Speaker 2: It's time for this guy to earn his money. Is

2858
02:34:03,320 --> 02:34:07,640
Speaker 2: he gonna do it this year? Have no idea, but

2859
02:34:07,879 --> 02:34:11,800
Speaker 2: that's why I'm curious. Dak Prescott as a career regular

2860
02:34:11,840 --> 02:34:16,920
Speaker 2: season starter in Dallas. He's won games, but he's two

2861
02:34:16,920 --> 02:34:19,120
Speaker 2: and five in the playoffs, four and five on the

2862
02:34:19,200 --> 02:34:21,959
Speaker 2: road last year. Those are the numbers that resonate with

2863
02:34:22,040 --> 02:34:24,760
Speaker 2: Dallas fans and more importantly, Jerry Jones and I get

2864
02:34:24,760 --> 02:34:29,600
Speaker 2: it that Dak wants to be paid. Cleveland and their

2865
02:34:29,680 --> 02:34:33,279
Speaker 2: defense at home gave up the fewest yards of anybody

2866
02:34:33,480 --> 02:34:36,520
Speaker 2: last seasons. Matter of fact, at home, their defense was

2867
02:34:36,560 --> 02:34:38,920
Speaker 2: so historic it had as good as numbers as the

2868
02:34:39,000 --> 02:34:42,680
Speaker 2: Legion of Boom defense in Seattle back when they were

2869
02:34:42,800 --> 02:34:49,240
Speaker 2: winning Super Bowls. The storylines Mike McCarthy basically a lame duck.

2870
02:34:50,040 --> 02:34:52,800
Speaker 2: You rarely see a situation. I think maybe he might

2871
02:34:52,840 --> 02:34:55,200
Speaker 2: have happened to Jason Garrett as well. Back in the

2872
02:34:55,280 --> 02:34:57,520
Speaker 2: day where you're wandering the sidelines. You don't have a

2873
02:34:57,520 --> 02:35:00,039
Speaker 2: contract next year. Ceedee Lamb got paid. So is he

2874
02:35:00,080 --> 02:35:02,039
Speaker 2: gonna step up and do what he's got to do?

2875
02:35:02,760 --> 02:35:05,120
Speaker 2: Zach I will tell you Dak really needs him, no

2876
02:35:05,920 --> 02:35:09,640
Speaker 2: two ways about it. It's importance to that offense. MICHAEH. Parsons,

2877
02:35:09,959 --> 02:35:13,879
Speaker 2: same situation. The mental outlook in Dallas to me, feels weird.

2878
02:35:14,040 --> 02:35:17,160
Speaker 2: It's a weird vibe. Dallas is gonna have three new

2879
02:35:17,200 --> 02:35:19,760
Speaker 2: starters on the offensive line. They'renna thrown right into the fire.

2880
02:35:20,280 --> 02:35:22,320
Speaker 2: Cleveland's not gonna have Nick Chubb, which makes it leads

2881
02:35:22,360 --> 02:35:25,560
Speaker 2: me to my point, who's gonna win this game? Well,

2882
02:35:25,800 --> 02:35:29,280
Speaker 2: here's a clue. Since nineteen ninety, NFL teams who rushed

2883
02:35:29,280 --> 02:35:31,760
Speaker 2: the ball for more than two hundred yards in game

2884
02:35:31,800 --> 02:35:34,160
Speaker 2: one of the season, they're thirty four and five straight up,

2885
02:35:34,520 --> 02:35:37,440
Speaker 2: thirty one and seven against the number, including seventeen and

2886
02:35:37,640 --> 02:35:41,280
Speaker 2: one against the number as a dog on the flip side.

2887
02:35:41,320 --> 02:35:43,720
Speaker 2: Over the same span, Teams that rush the ball for

2888
02:35:43,760 --> 02:35:46,560
Speaker 2: fewer than one hundred yards in game one, well, the

2889
02:35:46,720 --> 02:35:50,280
Speaker 2: only cover about forty percent of the time. Last year,

2890
02:35:50,320 --> 02:35:52,320
Speaker 2: the Ravens led the league in rushing yards per game

2891
02:35:52,520 --> 02:35:54,959
Speaker 2: throughout the season. One hundred and fifty six Bengals were

2892
02:35:55,040 --> 02:35:58,280
Speaker 2: last year. Get the picture. What's my point? Tell me

2893
02:35:58,280 --> 02:36:00,920
Speaker 2: who rushes for more yards in Klee one on Sunday,

2894
02:36:01,520 --> 02:36:04,360
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you who wins the game? Too tough

2895
02:36:04,400 --> 02:36:06,840
Speaker 2: to call. If Cleveland had Nick Chubb, I would pick Cleveland.

2896
02:36:06,840 --> 02:36:09,360
Speaker 2: It's not a game I'm gonna bet. By the way,

2897
02:36:09,800 --> 02:36:15,120
Speaker 2: remember Divisional dogs week one seventy six percent since twenty fourteen.

2898
02:36:15,160 --> 02:36:18,760
Speaker 2: You got the Raiders, you got the Carolina Panthers, and

2899
02:36:18,840 --> 02:36:22,520
Speaker 2: you got the Indianapolis Colts as a home dog. That

2900
02:36:22,600 --> 02:36:25,640
Speaker 2: all fit into that category. We'll see how they do. Right.

2901
02:36:26,000 --> 02:36:28,680
Speaker 2: I'll be back on these airwaves next Friday night at

2902
