an unmatched selection fast free shipping. Free road has a

Com the way tire buying should be. So the Atlanta
Falcons stay aggressive. They are going after it, and they're
going after it on defense yet again, two time Pro
Bowl safety Justin Simmons agrees to a one year deal

(01:23):
on Thursday. I saw for about eight million dollars. It's
a day after they traded for Matthew Judon. Fills a need.
They've been a little bit banged up there, but two
consecutive days they make a move add talent with Pro
Bowl pedigree on defense. It looks like the Atlanta Falcons
are ready to mark the NFC South as theirs and

(01:46):
get after it. And I just want to know how
much of this is on Arthur Blank who told them
you didn't take a defender, you took a quarterback number eight. Overall,
I need to see what the plan is and Atlanta's
going after it thinking they're going to make a playoff run.
How much heat is on the Atlanta Falcons front office?

Speaker 1 (02:04):
How much heat? I don't think there's I don't think
there's heat on their front office right now. I think
that if you're looking at what they're doing right now,
they look like they're very strategically sound. You want to
talk about hold the line. You know you're getting a
quality player, and Justin Simmons doesn't really have an injury
history safety at thirty years old, it's not that old.

(02:30):
You can still do a lot of really really good
things at at thirty years old in the league at
that position in particular. And the fact that now safeties
are basically I mean they at times and nickels or
dime situations or penny situations are basically glorified linebackers as well.

(02:56):
That's the league now, that's college football. Now you really
only have maybe two linebackers that are true linebackers, sometimes
maybe only even one, and you're using safeties really in
place of where you used to use linebackers because the
game on offense has changed so much. So I don't

(03:20):
think this is about pressure on the front office of Atlanta.
It looks as though they've they've taken advantage of a
relationship that fell apart in New England. Didn't seem as
though they wanted in New England, wanted to get it
done with Judon, and you sneak in there and you
get a very very nice pickup at the last minute

(03:43):
to get in Judon. And then now you have a
guy and Simmons who you know, there probably are a
few more quality players that are out there that aren't
on rosters right now. So you've addressed some serious needs
on on your defensive side of the ball. You have
a lot of firepower on the offensive side of your ball.

(04:06):
I mean, I don't think this is about pressure. I
think you're seeing a team that feels confident in a
push to try to be a more competitive team in
the NFC. And why not, Why shouldn't you. The NFC
is probably the most up for grabs side of the
NFL conferences that that's available right now, So go get it.

(04:29):
It looks like they're trying to get it. Yeah, they're
going for it.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
I mean, that's the easy sweat to describe it. Like
they're going all in for it this year, their ownership.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
Everything else. I do think there's an element.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Though, of the front office, you know, finding value and
make some of these moves the trade for Judain bringing
in a player like Simmons who's the consummate pro is
a former pro bowler, and there was a need for
them too in the back end, you know, so you
find those guys you can bring in and you're probably
getting them, at least, in the case of Simmons, a
little more economic. But there does have to be an

(05:03):
element of pressure that is on this front office because
this is the same group of people that convinced you not.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
To bring in Bill Belichick.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
And and if that's the case, then they've got to
show that they're gonna be able to turn this team
into a contender. And so you know, they're using the
cap space they have to make the moves they're making,
and so far it looks like it's gonna work out.
I mean, I would be hard pressed to look at
another team in the NFC and say, like they did
more of this offseason than the Falcons to put themselves

(05:31):
in a position to win. I mean, that's the type
of offseason they had. Now, whether or not that translates
over to games, well off the wait and see.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
What do you think Arthur Smith is thinking right now? Like,
wait a second, where was that for me? Yeah? Like
what wait? I had to I had to basically go
figure it out. And and you guys now just decided
after I left to get aggressive and go make all
these moves. Not only you know, we couldn't figure out
the starting quarterback spot. You basically have two. You went
and signed one for big money, and then you drafted one.

(06:00):
Wonder farther. Smith's sitting around going what the f man? Like,
why couldn't I get.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
I think he's too busy with what he's got in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
I don't think he's sitting around thinking anything in regards
to that last year.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
You don't think you know, he looks around.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
I think he's got a lot of this play in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
What are you getting at? I mean Russell's debut, he.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Made his debut, But I think he's also focused on
making sure that this offense is what Pittsburgh Steelers fans won.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
I mean, that's one of the.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Best fan bases in any professional sports franchise, and they're
going to be hard if this offense isn't an improvement
from what it was last year, because that's all I've
been saying, That's all Var has been saying, that's all
Ben Roethlisberger has been saying.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Is that it's been the offense. It's been the offense
has been the play calling.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Well, he's the guy to come in and fix it,
so you know, yeah, maybe they could blame Russell Wilson.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
But if Russell Wilson.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Doesn't look great, Justin Fields doesn't look great, at some
point they're gonna turn right back to the play caller
and then then that he'll be, you know, the guy
everyone's pointing out. So that's the tough part about this
is you know, you can you could sit there and
think this he's just sitting twiddling his thumbs thinking about Atlanta,
but he's got his hands full on.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
Pistopher.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Are the excited about Russell Wilson's debut.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
I think there's a lot of cautious optimism. Man, It's
it's funny. I just we're not the most We're not.
We're we're we love our team and we'll love our
coach until we don't, you know. And that's just how
a lot of us are. And sometimes we're a very
split community. Sometimes you have a very very strong feeling

(07:38):
towards keeping a coach, and then you have a strong
feeling of getting rid of the coach. I can recall
when Chuck Nole was at the end of his time there.
You had a very very split community. You know. There
were times where with Bill Cower you had a very
very split community. There's times with Mike Tomlin. You have
a very very split community and how people feel there's

(08:01):
always going to be that one for something. I'll say this, yensers.
We feel like we know the gang right, like we
feel like we know the game. And sometimes I don't
use it. I don't. I don't use it. I don't
really have It's funny if I'm home long enough, I
start saying I start sounding more Pittsburgh. But I don't

(08:25):
sound Pittsburgh on the regular on a regular day, like
if you heard my son not sunny Pittsburgh. I mean,
I don't really think about it, and I just don't
sound like I'm from Pittsburgh.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
But no, I don't.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
I mean there's no party. That's like, man, I got
away from my roots. I mean I didn't try to
lose my accent. I mean it just kind of went away.
I guess, like I don't say pop anymore. Like there's
certain things I don't say that are yinzerisms and I
dream though I don't say gum bad.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
I don't. I don't drink.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
That's probably part of it too.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
But if I were to get a pop, I would
say what the flavor is now, versus saying you know,
I'm gonna go get a bottle a two liter a pop.
You know, I'm not now I say I'm going to
get PEPSI or I'm going to get a like.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
An adolescent thing though I feel like that's kind of
for younger kids.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Anyway, though I don't know, because the adults say pop.
In Pittsburgh, we say pop. Yeah, we get some pop anyway. Yeah,
I think that we just we we feel as though
the way football is played in western Pennsylvania has to

(09:35):
be a certain way. It has to look a certain way,
it has to feel a certain way, and if it doesn't,
then the narcissism starts to creep up on you. It
starts to come out, and then you start thinking that
you would be able to do a better job than
the guys that are coaching. And that's that's kind of
how our culture is, you know. So it's just never

(09:56):
enough for some of our fans and our fan base
because they know it better than the coaches that have
been hired to be you know, the coaches of the team.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
All right, yinzer, do you want to hear Wikipedia or
the Urban Dictionary version of it?

Speaker 5 (10:13):
Okay? I hear both?

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Okay, Well, because one of them is a little bit
more insulting than the other. All right, so I don't know, like, uh,
why are you the lessons?

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Right?

Speaker 1 (10:21):
So?

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Uh. Speakers of Pittsburgh English are sometimes called yinser's in
reference to their use of the second person plural pronoun
yins That.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
Sounds like the Webster's definition. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
The word yinser is sometimes heard as a pejorative, indicating
a lack of sophistication. Wow, But the term is now
used in a variety of ways. So there's that.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
But they know the original, like do you know the
original of YenS? It's like you guys.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
Yeah, yeah, you guys.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
That's what YenS is. So so the people out there
that don't like didn't catch what Joan It's just said.
It's like when you say you guys, is the proper
way of saying you know, you guys.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
Instead of like hey guys, right, you say hey yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
But that's that's why I pushed back, what are you doing?
Because that guy in the Goonies would have said hey,
yins instead he said hey, you guys. So I don't
know that that's accurate what you just said, Like I
believe that, you know.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
What do you mean, I'm just telling you what the
chances Lvar that Jonas gets slapped if he shows up
in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Why would I because they expelled the punk on you.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Hold on, dump that dum dumb that.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
I don't know. I might be taking the wrong They
might take dump that. No, that was it might take
that the wrong way. That that's that's the world we
live on. Man, hit that button?

Speaker 3 (11:45):
What what does this world come to?

Speaker 5 (11:47):
What's that? Dump? If?

Speaker 1 (11:48):
I don't know? Because the P word it could be
interpreted a couple of different ways.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Just say, for what does this world come to when
you have to dump a legitimate quality insult between co
hosts on the air? That was the quality insult? Yeah,
nothing at all, just a little I don't want to.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
End up like, just make sure y'all dump that.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Hey, I'm no cruissant. I'll just say this, uh the
other Now. The Urban Dictionary says this about yinsers, a
person from Pittsburgh who is terrified to leave. Western Pennsylvania
has has one of the highest percentage of born and
bred population, yet still has a decreasing population because nobody

(12:35):
outside Pittsburgh ever wants to move in. Most successful people
work at a family business or their parents connected them
and couldn't be successful outside the city itself. Yingers obsessed
about sports because there's nothing else positive about this town.
That's insulting. It is Urban Dictionary.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Seems like they took an unnecessary shot, and like, wh
what the dictionary hates Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
I don't know, but yeah, that's pretty much stuff that's inaccurate.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
But as somebody who grew up a Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
That sounds like somebody who got their ass kicked, not
almost got their ass kicked. It sounds like somebody who
did get their ass.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
I agree. And you know what, as somebody who's a
Penguins fan, don't show up on Carson Street with that attitude.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
You had to make sure you told people you were in.
That's that's still a tourist the area. Go go, well,
the Hill District still is in the Hill District, but
it's very close to where the Penns play. Yeah, just go,
say you walk through, uh through Saint Clair Village or
something to that effect. Say say you went over to

(13:41):
I don't even know where everything is anymore because there's
been so much.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
Build up and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
But Pittsburgh is actually a very very beautiful town, by.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
The way, underrated city by the way.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
There's a lot of great things to do, a lot
of a lot of great food there. I mean, Pittsburgh
is an amazing place. Now, one thing I will say
about Pittsburgh people who are native to there, they will say,
I love being where I'm from. I just don't want
to go back there to live. But with that being said,

(14:16):
I do believe that we were voted the highest city.
And if I, if I recall correctly, this year, in fact,
the highest city of movebacks, like people moving back from
where they were to reside, that that highest, that highest
number has gone to Pittsburgh. So yeah, I don't I

(14:39):
don't buy that urban that urban definition of well, it's
inaccurate too. Now, there are some parts that have a
little accuracy to it. I mean, if you look up
Italian crime families and stuff like that, a lot of
it you know originates, you know the origin is in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Why does Brady have to catch astray? Well, why does
his family have to catch astray? What are you talking
about Italian crime families?

Speaker 5 (15:07):
Like? How am I catching astray?

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Because you're Italian?

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Anyway? Because three and me, there's there's there's there's some
real conversation about leave those nerds.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
You know the way.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
It's twenty three. He said, yeah, I know what mine says,
but we don't. We don't have what did you say
we want? I said, I'm black black dog. If this
was Roberto shouts out to Roberto. But yeah, there, I
mean there are there are there. There has been a
lot of nepotism in certain areas and places in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
But you're taking seriously right now, aren't you.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah, I am.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
Why do you take these like non serious subjects, get
so serious.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
About like saying we're not sophisticated or you know, urban.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
Okay, Harris, I mean, just hey, let me tell you something.
You want to have a good times?

Speaker 5 (16:05):
Never follow the darn rundown because we got pushed.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
First of all, we called lee to the first segment
and it bumped everything back.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
So I was really hoping to get like talking about
Nicholas Cage at some point we should apparently.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
No, No, that's a that's a great idea. That's a
great idea. I just want to point this out. Fathead
Saloon on Carson Street in Pittsburgh. Fine, establishment will let
people know they're just look, I'm not. I've been to
Fathead Saloon a couple of times. I have to.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
I'm trying to prove to the people out there.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Next up, he's going to talk about Todd Hayley and
the bar and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
He went to Ah the tequila, the tequila Cowboy. Yeah,
Todd Ailey got shoved over by some guy who.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Just trying to convinced people that you you were in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
I've been to Pittsburgh many times. I love Pittsburgh. It's
a great spot. Watch Games three and four of the
Stanley Cup and two thousand and nine in Pittsburgh. Okay,
tic tac toe goal, Tyler Kennedy. I was there. I
saw it from the nosebleeds.

got all sorts of fun stuff. Wheys that'll be yours
here twenty minutes from now here on FSR. Yeah, what

(20:20):
a what a disaster. Now here's what could potentially be
a disaster they're making. I think this is coming out
on Amazon. They're making a bio pick on John Madden.
It's going to trace back to the origin of the
Madden video game, and the actor that has been picked
to play John Madden is none other than Nicholas Cage

(20:43):
Nicky I was. I didn't get it. I don't see
the resemblance.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
I see it either.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
But there was a picture and I'm gonna see if
I can find it to where it was them two
side by side, and they found basically in between conversations
where his mouth was kind of deformed, and I could
kind of see how that would work. But I feel like, yeah,
he's like a legitimate actor, but he's also kind of
a weirdo, and I don't know how that translates to

(21:14):
the everyman persona that John Madden had, which is why
I was thinking Shane Gillis. Shane Gillis to me, would
be a home run pick to play John Madden. But
I agree they're going with this.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
I agree.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
Look at the photos now that I'm seeing side by side,
I can see like the facial structure.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yeah, and you tell me.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
I mean, obviously I wish Lee was here to have
this conversation. But I mean, you guys are out there
in Hollywood. Is Nicholas Cage revered as the type of
actor that can play a variety of roles.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
I mean, I don't think his name pops up as
an I mean he had a couple of good movies.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
He did a lot of movies, by the way.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah, I think that he like accepts a lot of roles.
I don't know that he does necessarily a dynamite job
in all those roles, you know, just kind of like
leaving Las Vegas, Like, I'm not sure how much of
a stretch that was for him.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
I would not be surprised if he if he nails it, though,
That's what I will say. I would not be surprised
if a guy like Nicholas Cage nailed John Madden.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Did Nicholas Cage make a movie about Nicholas Cage Ye
not that way.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yeah, yeah, what was that he did? What's the what
was the movie he did about himself? Well, I mean
if you if anybody was going to play themselves, I mean,
you know, like why not be you?

Speaker 5 (22:39):
So he took the unbearable weight of massive talent, I.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Believe, Yeah, and very humbly put you know, like that's
a that's a guy who's really down to earth and
really gets it. He also collects skulls. I believe he's
got like a bunch of skulls that he collects. Like
he's just he's an odd guy.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
There, a tequila drinker, I mean, could be.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
There's also that video where like him and Vince Neil
had like some sort of a fight outside a limo
in Vegas at like eleven in the morning. Like the
guy parties, like likes to have a good time. I
don't know that John Madden was the guy who's like
the partying type, you know, Like I just don't know that.
That's like Gary Oldman. Gary Oldman can play any role.

(23:20):
That guy was the Pimp and True Romance and he
played Winston Churchhill, right, he can play any role.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
The dude that was in Last of the Mohicans and
was in Gangs in New York? Who's that? And now
he's that? That dude can get into character. Oh I've
never seen.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Are you talking about Daniel day Lewis.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Daniel day Lewis, that's bang. Would that dude right there,
Daniel day Lewis, He'll get he can get you like
he that was him? Like wait, hold on, that was
him in that movie.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Like, dang, Daniel day Lewis, that's right, that played Lincoln?

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, I played was it my left foot?

Speaker 5 (23:59):
Was he like the crew? I mean that was like
one of his ear?

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (24:03):
You saw that in school?

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, you had to watch it in school.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
Ye had to watch that. Well, I think we've read
it that we had to watch her.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
I remember reading that. Man, he was in a bunch
of stuff.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
And you wouldn't know, like from movie to movie you'd
be like, man, that was him. I dang, that dude,
that dude gets it. I thought he was Abraham Lincoln.
I ain't never seen Abraham Lincoln the day in my life,
but I was like, man, that's Abe Lincoln right there,
Like there he is right there, that's a that's him.
That's why that's if this all the books I read

(24:38):
like that, we had to look at history books about
presidents and all this stuff that was him.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
Do you think the Madden family got the sign off
on this? I don't know. Yeah, no, I mean I'm
sure they had to ask permission to go through it.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
But Tish family are part of doing this, right. I
believe Steve Tish is involved with this, So there is
a level of understanding from the NFL's perspective, their their
interest is being represented by the Tisch family.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
So who handles casting though?

Speaker 3 (25:11):
And I don't know, I mean, like which you.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Think if you're the Madden family and they picked someone
that you're like, that guy doesn't make sense for us.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
I mean I'm not watching it, so really yeah, I'm out.
I can't. I can't do it. I have a real view.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
Do it John Madden impression?

Speaker 3 (25:26):
No?

Speaker 5 (25:27):
Why I feel like top?

Speaker 3 (25:30):
You can't like you get there's just like a certain
you know, Sorry.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
I stepped on your impressions. Do that one more time?

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Boom top act into acting?

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Not even close?

Speaker 3 (25:39):
I agreed. Why do you think I'm not playing John
Madden in the movie and they give it to Nicholas
Cage straight out of Happy Hour or something.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
The fact that you could do it Harry Carey, which
what does Harry Cary sound like?

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Hi? So good, so good?

Speaker 4 (25:52):
But then there's not even close to it. John Madden,
which I don't think they're that far apart.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Want to play by barspel backwards?

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Good?

Speaker 3 (26:04):
Yeah, John Madden, though, Like to me, you gotta go
somebody who's a little bit bigger, you know, like somebody
who's like Kevin James. That could be a possibility.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
I could see that. Yeah, like that, I mean you're saying.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
To if if John Candy was still around.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
Perfect Candy would have been great. Yeah, that's not Shane
gill To your point, Shane would have.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Been Kevin James. I think I think that would be a.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Good By the way, Shane Gillis is Donald Trump impressionist.
He wears the air and everything. Joe Rogan true patriot,
true Patriots. Yeah. I just I have a problem watching

(26:53):
movies about sporting events or sports or athletes that are
still I either currently with us or have been with
us recently, like or I lived through that time, like
John Madden.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
So you don't want to watch madd because you lived
through it.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yes, And I know, how much do you.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
Really recall of Madden as a coach or even as an.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Analyst, as an analyst, as an analyst, Oh, yes, I
recall mad as an analyst. I remember that when the
big coachmember now as a coach, but when the big
news was them leaving CBS to go to Fox like
that that was like just a big get for them
and how that changed the game to where like when
you got the original like one of the old schools Maddens.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
What was the last broadcast that Madden did?

Speaker 3 (27:40):
It was the Super Bowl with Al Michaels and I
want to say it was Cardinals Steelers.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
Okay, which I believe was two thousand and nine.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yes, is that correct?

Speaker 5 (27:54):
Yeah, it's correct.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
It's been fifteen years. You're a dork, bro, Why but
even knowledge like that off the top of your head,
I know you are a freaking nerd. D Here.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Here's the thing about it, though, is I'm calling, Yes,
I'm calling bs on Jones.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Why how old are you now?

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Forty three?

Speaker 5 (28:16):
Okay? Yeah, I guess it's still a good portion, Yeah,
I guess.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
And also when you got the old Madden game, Pat
Summer on John Madden, We're on it, I know.

Speaker 5 (28:27):
So like Nintendo sixty four, what game do you that was?

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Super Nintendo? We were always a game console behind everybody else,
you know. It's like you guys are getting.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
Sixty four's a long ways behind everything.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah, but uh yeah, so that's that's who's going to
be playing, uh John Madden in this upcoming By biopic,
which I won't be watching, so I going have to
let me know.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
It's like it is an odd poll. Like when when
you said Nicky Cage, I was like, all right, well
here we go.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
All right, So like the movie The Fighter with Mark
Wahlberg and and why am I blinking on the guy's
Christian Bale who they did Mickey Ward and his brother,
Like I was out on that movie like they. First
of all, it's his three greatest fights. What he's known
for are the fights against Arturo Gotti, nowhere to be

(29:17):
found in the movie, not even until the credits, Like
literally three of the greatest fights in the history of
the sport.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
And they couldn't score those fights, you know, because you've
already watched them, so you couldn't score again.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Well, I did go back and score the first one
because it was very close.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Bartro Gotti and who.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
And Mickey Ward. Mickey Ward so like their first fight unbelievable,
like and their first fight was like nowhere to be found.
And then just sort of the way they manipulated, like
the storyline that he went up and fought this guy
that was so much bigger than him and the guy
just gave him a beating and he wasn't sure if
he was ready for the weight class. Dude, it was
a split decision like that, he lost the fight by

(29:53):
like a point on the judge's scorecard. But they made
it out to be like it was so much more
dramatized than it actually was. And then you asked Mickey
Ward about it afterwards and he said, Yeah, the part
that kind of disappointed me was there was nothing really
about our turo in it, and that was like our bond,
like that's how we became close. And so it's like
stuff like that to where you know what happened because
you live through it, and then they change stuff around.

(30:14):
It kind of pisses me off. I'm not a fan
of it, so I won't be watching because they're going
to try and do something. Who do you think they're
going to have played? Pat Summer all. If you had
to guess, like, who's a good Pat Summer all Kevin here.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Also I was who actually does a good mad impression?
Would be Frank Caliendo.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yeah, yeah, Frank Callendo.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
But he does a great impression. He's small, That's my
thing that I.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Think that'd be. But he would be great for it
to roll.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
You could find ways around that though, you know, camera angles,
boxes all.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
If they could figure that out, he would be the
perfect person to use for it. Perfect, that'd be. He's
really good at it.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Coming up next year, though, we are going to have
another edition of over Unders. We'll look ahead to a
busy weekend in the world of sports. We got football,
We've got fighting, we got lead to lapse late this disaster.
It's all yours here and some over Unders next dot FSR.

I have been losing you lyon low life gambling.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
It's over under all right.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
The lead to lap is not here. If you are
trying to figure out why he's not here, you can
listen back to the podcast he did. We did call
him as he stepped on a nail in his backyard
drunk at nine in the morning Pacific time. That did happen,
So I'll be running running the show here on over
unders for this week. I do have a question, though, LaVar.

(32:42):
You did the show last Friday with Jeff Schwartz. He's
a degenerate gambler. Did you guys go over unders?

Speaker 5 (32:48):
I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Yeah, which is real, miss.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
I don't use I don't use your I don't use
your rundown when when I do the show about myself,
I actually do a different type of rundown. So we
wouldn't have done any of your features.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Wow, well, I was trying to put you up on
some games.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
We don't do it. We really don't do any features
on up on game either. We just talked sports man.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
We're talking about up on game, down on game. Yeah,
what about that?

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Every once in a while, we don't play games.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
We're about a conversation with a legend.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
No it's not a game.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Yeah, but it's a feature.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
We don't do those things.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
You're missing out.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
I'm joking.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
It's just messed up, man.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Anyways, come on, let's go.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
All right, So let's get it done here. So this
is over unders for this week, and we're gonna bounce around.
We're going to start in the NFL. So Bengals Bears
tomorrow Saturday one Eastern time. You can watch it on
NFL Network. It's Caleb Williams debut at Soldier Field.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Attendance at Soldiers So you're gonna to go over fifty
thousand for a preseason game for Caleb.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
Williams over Weather should be nice. They're excited about Caleb over.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
I'm gonna go with Q on this one. I'm gonna
go with the.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Over fifty thousand. Yeah for a preseason game. Yeah, okay,
let me just let me just check something real quick.
Ye check something real quick because I want to. I
want to just make sure because so, what you're telling me.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Is that the last time they had that many people
in that stadium was win.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Damn probably eighty five. Hey, so you mean to tell
me that while the Cubs are playing the Blue Jays
at the same time at Wrigley Field, more people are
gonna want to see Caleb Williams take on the Bengals
in a preseason game.

Speaker 5 (34:44):
That's correct. What about the White Sox by who they're playing,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
I think they've been relegated. Yeah, they're doing their their
triple A. Sorry, Mark didn't mean to take a shot
at the White Sox.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
They had that big win over the Yankees though, Mark,
Yeah they did, and then they got blown out the
next day.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
Came up home run.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Yes they did, all right. So I'm gonna take the
under on fifty thousand. I don't think it'll be that many.

Speaker 5 (35:06):
Stop, Why do you play that card as a Bears fan.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
I just don't think there's gonna be that many.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
People.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
Like, when they're bad, you try to stay optimistic, and
then when they're start to turn the corner they look good.

Speaker 5 (35:16):
Then you play the other side of it. You try
to downplay.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Listen, this isn't about me, all right, this is about
over unders, and I'm trying to win.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Here.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Here's the next one, Bill Steelers. This is Saturday Night,
Russell Wilson's debut number of offensive series for US over
under two and a half. Ooh ooh, I'm gonna take
the under.

Speaker 5 (35:37):
What number is this?

Speaker 1 (35:38):
What number of preseason gay?

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Their second number two? It's he's coming off the calf issue.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
I'm gonna take the under. I'm gonna take the under.

Speaker 5 (35:46):
I'm gonna take the over.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Here's the tricky think about this, because I think it's
a great over under. Usually what happens is it comes
down to like a.

Speaker 5 (35:54):
Number of plays. So let's say they go on a
play drive.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
You know, they might go after that.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
Yeah, he could be it could be done after that,
or they might come back for one more drive, whereas
really they might be saying, hey, we don't give you
the first quarter, so he could like you know, and
then who knows how long those drives are the other
team everything else.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yeah, like if it's a if it's a three and out,
like say it's like two three and outs, and.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
Yeah, like the preseason's funky like that.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Man, Like I've been on teams where hey, you're gonna
go out, you play the first quarter and you end
up bleedting in the second quarter.

Speaker 5 (36:32):
Or I'm trying to think where I was where they
made how'd they do this?

Speaker 4 (36:41):
They had our starters played like one series and they
came back for like a two minute drive, but they
took off almost the entirety of the first and second quarter.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
What Yeah, I can't recall if I was at.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
Denver somewhere, like it was with the order or something.
It was the funkiest thing the way they did it.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
People already have their shoulder pads off and the like, hey,
get out there, two minutes back?

Speaker 5 (37:01):
Quite not quite.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
I think it's all they did before halftime, but they
just wanted the the the rep of two minutes.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
All right? Next up, ce d Lamb, Jamar Chase Brandon
Ayuk deals done amongst those three by next week? Over
under a half.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
I hope all of them. I hope all of them,
just so Jonas doesn't put in a rundown.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (37:22):
Over under? At what?

Speaker 3 (37:23):
God at a half? Are any of them going to
be done by this time next week?

Speaker 1 (37:26):
I'm gonna say over on that one, I'm gonna go
over and if I were to even take it a
step further, I'm gonna say it's Ayuk because it's just
it's run its course.

Speaker 5 (37:37):
I just hope all of them.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
So Jonas has no material to talk about this krem,
I'm gonna make him.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
You go to other sports, talk about other subjects.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
I'm gonna take the under, you know, and I think, listen,
I think it's.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
A safe under.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Though it would be honest, it would be who of
us on Monday to just go segment? But first three
segments already done? All right, it'll be uh. We'll start
with you know ce d Lamb. Then we'll go Jamar
Chase and will go Brandon Ayuk. See he's easy, peasy,
pretty simple, all right you f C. Brady was telling
me about this. By the way, this next one, you

Speaker 5 (38:29):
I'll take the under.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Good call christ last one man lead to lapse latest
wake up time this weekend over under ten am Pacific.

Before that, I'll take under. He's too he's too ingrained
into our schedule.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna take the under too.

Really, Yeah, you just talked to in our one. You're
gonna take.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
He's more responsive and up earlier than you are. I'll
put it that way.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
That's BS now, it's not I have tested this theory.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
That's disrespectful man.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
It's true.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
You need some time to think about truth hurts.

Speaker 5 (39:16):
