Last battery has proven tough and designed to stand up
to even the most extreme weather conditions with patented technology
to deliver the most power during startup. Get in the zone,

(00:21):
Auto Zone. We're in the zone here, and we're officially
done with the first week of the NFL to Monday
night football games last night to crown the NFL week
to finish off everything, and we got a uh nice
win for Sam Bradford and the Vikings and the Broncos
held on to beat the Chargers thanks to a blocked

(00:46):
field goal at the end of that game. So what
do we think of everything that went down? Probably the
number one story of the honestly of Monday Night Football
was the cameras catching Sean Payton and Adrian Peterson in
midst amidst that he did exchange and uh, we have

(01:06):
audio from that now. I would say in general before
we play that, in general, there's no value for a
running back over the age of thirty in the NFL,
and as good of shape as Adrian Peterson is in
and as dominant as he was at different times of
his career. If he still had anything left in the
gas tank, then the Minnesota Vikings would have kept him.

(01:29):
So the fact that he is at a new team
is indicative of the fact that there's not much left there,
and it's not an indictment of Adrian Peterson. The number
of running backs who have been stellar after the age
of thirty is almost a zero list of zero. And again,
it's not because those guys are not trying hard. It's
not because those guys don't believe and and have the

(01:51):
requisite skill set in terms of knowing what to do
and where to be in everything else. It's just because
the brutal hit on the body tally up and there
isn't much left I believe I'm correcting this. Priest Holmes
is the most successful running back ever after the age
of thirty, and if you recall with Priest Holmes, he

(02:12):
didn't play very much in his twenties, so he hadn't
had taken hardly any hits and so as a result,
he still had some gas left in his tank when
he got to thirty years old and older. Nowadays, it's
virtually impossible to find a running back thirty year over,
who has anything left? And uh, Adrian Peterson believed that

(02:33):
he did, and he was upset at the way he
was being used. And so we have got audio here
of the difficulty between those two guys, and so let's
play some of that audio between Sean Payton and Adrian Peterson. No, listen,
I tell you if we were in a heated exchange,

(02:53):
so why don't you ask him? But we were. I
think he was into it. We're all into it. There
was no none that I can recall, and I'm being honest.
So jump took conclusion to own assumptions when they don't
have no idea what was going on? What's saying? You know?
I could have been I could have said, I love you.

(03:14):
You know the issue we have we have a bigger
fish to fry. I think it's pretty common they happen
to catch him on the sideline here where a player decides,
and Adrian Peterson later said that he was telling we
need to run the ass, run the ball at their
ass or something like that. Um And obviously there was
a lot of emotion involved in Adrian Peterson returning to Minnesota,

(03:38):
the city where he played his entire career up until
last night. But in general, I think it's just a
sign that Adrian Peterson, even though he has seemed to
be a physical freak, is in fact not immortal. He
is not a guy who is going to be able
to withstand the ravages of time. And that's why again,
running backs over the age of thirty, they don't typically laugh.

(04:00):
I think maybe the most surprising um and here the
top ten rushing seasons by a running back over thirty. Uh,
and a lot of these guys are older. Um and
because again I think the game changed such that and
I'm not sure exactly why, but a lot of these
guys are older. Um. T Barber, Curtis Martin, Walter Payton, uh,

(04:21):
Corey Dillon, Walter Payton again, Barry Sanders, Priest Holmes were
done and Thomas Jones have had the top running backs
performances by running backs over thirty, I don't think any
of those guys have been active since when in the
last decade. I think maybe maybe maybe Tike Barber was
active in the last decade there um, But by and large,

(04:45):
these guys just totally vanish. And that's uh. That's because
nowadays it is basically you're done by the time you're
thirty years old. And by the way, that's true for
almost every position in the NFL, not just running back.
Other than quarterback, punter, and kicker. There's hardly anybody over

(05:05):
the age of thirty years old that consistently excels at
any position. Now, are there statistical anomalies guys who have
lasted longer than you would have ever anticipated, certainly, but
by and large, the NFL is a young man's game,
and by the time you reach thirty, you are on
the scrap heap of oblivion. And really, the quarterback is
the only position I can think of where a player

(05:26):
can have his best year after the age of thirty.
And again that's because quarterback is a different caliber of physicality.
And speaking of quarterbacks, would anybody have bet I believe
I'm correct in this in terms of quarterback rating that
the three best quarterbacks according to the qb R in
Week one of the NFL would be Alex Smith, Sam

(05:50):
Bradford and Jared Goff. You could have won a lot
of money if you've been able to set a three
way parlay there and take Okay, which three quarterbacks are
gonna have the highest qbrs in Week one. If you
had gone with Alex Smith, Sam Bradford and Jared Goff,
you would have won that award. Walking off, Now, what

(06:12):
do we think about what we saw last night? I
think the Vikings. Look, if Sam Bradford can stay healthy.
We know how good their defense was last year before
they started to fall apart. If Sam Bradford can stay
healthy and that offensive line can block for him, I
think the Vikings can win the NFC North. I'm not
sure that they will because obviously it's an insanely talented division.

(06:34):
I'm not sure that the Vikings are ever gonna be
able to get past Aaron Rodgers and the Packers or
for that matter, uh Matthew Stafford and the and the Lions.
But in theory, at least they certainly could. Right, they
have enough of horses in that division to be able
to compete at a high level. And how good is
that division? By the way, the poor Bears are left

(06:56):
on the on the wayside, But I would say that's
probably the second best quarterback division in football. The best
division for quarterbacks in football, and therefore the most difficult
to win, is the NFC South because you've got Drew Brees,
who also played last night. You've got Matt Ryan, Jamis Winston,
and Cam Newton. All four of those guys are super

(07:18):
Bowl caliber quarterbacks. We know, with the possible exception of
Jamis Winston, will see exactly how good Jamis can be
this year. The other three guys have been to Super Bowls,
and arguably the other three have been You know, Drew
Drew Brees won his Super Bowl, Matt Ryan should have
won his last year when the the Falcons three I'm

(07:38):
sorry Falcon fans that they just run the football, and
Cam Newton obviously was favored to win his when Peyton
Manning won his second one. The worst division, by the way,
right now for quarterbacks in the NFL, without a doubt,
is the a f C South. Marcus Mariota is good.
The rest of the division is a total mess. Scrapp eep.
You've got Blake Bortles, who's sitting alone atop of the

(07:59):
division right now. Want to know, You've got Scott Tolzien
or tolls I and however you want to pronounce it,
one of the worst quarterbacks to ever start in the
history of the NFL. And you've got the uncertainty that
exists right now between Tom Savage and Deshaun Watson with
the Houston Texans that that by far is the worst
division in football, UM, when it comes to quarterbacks. But
to me, that's a that's an extraordinary staff at those

(08:21):
three guys. After week one, we're the best three quarterbacks
in the league. Um again, Alex Smith, Sam Bradford and
Jared Goff. It is uh, it is pretty pretty wild. Um.
And we've got more audio. I guess, uh what do
we have here? More audio about Adrian Peterson? UM? Oh, sorry,

(08:44):
I'm sorry. Is somebody tweeted that. My guy, Peter Straeger
when I woke up this morning said and I didn't
notice it, but one of the first things I had
from him was a text message from this guy on
the sideline for ESPN, and uh he tried to do
a report about advance Joseph UM and how how impressive

(09:04):
I think it was and what I don't even know
because I listened to This is one of the first
things I listened to this morning. And the crew is
insisting that we play this, so I want you guys
to listen. This is if you are a sideline reporter,
this is about as bad as things can go for
a sideline reporter. Evidently they never went back to this
guy after this report. You know, it's rare that you

(09:25):
see like a sideline reporter effectively get hit by a train. Uh.
This is what's this guy's name, Sergio dip It sounds
like a fake name. It sounds like the made up
name of somebody that would be like a villain in
a comic book. But this is Sergio dip Um who
is who is evidently a sideline reporter for ESPN, And
he was on the sideline last night for the uh,

(09:48):
the game between the Broncos and the Chargers, and they
went to him for a really important report. And this
is what it sounded like, Beth coach, It's a pleasure
to be with you guys here on the few from
up close, just watching coach Ben's Joseph from here. You
watch him now on the screen. This diversity in his

(10:09):
background is helping him a lot tonight. Quarterback at Colorado,
defensive back in the NFL, and here he is having
the time of his life this night, making his head
coaching tabut. I don't think it doesn't sound as awful
um as uh like I don't even know exactly what

(10:32):
he was going for there. Um yeah, like most head
coaches have had different jobs before they became head coaches, right,
I don't know what brilliant, brilliant analysis he was trying
to get there. We'll bring in the crew next. I'm
also gonna give you top five, bottom five, and go ahead.
You're gonna be stunned. Grab your pearls, get get ready

(10:54):
to fall on the fainting couch. You're not gonna believe
what one of the ESPN's topping ployees was tweeting during
the game last night about Donald Trump MS ESPN. It's
gonna go MS ESPN on you no matter what. You're
not gonna believe what these tweets were. But first week

(12:41):
with Experience. We are now through with the NFL week
thanks to the doubleheader last night in Monday Night Football.
And to me, this is the time where we start,
as we did all last year, Tuesday's Top five Bottom
five to kind of put you in context for where
the NFL teams are as we come into week two.

(13:02):
Every Tuesday about this time, we will give you the
top five teams in the NFL and the bottom five
teams in the NFL. And so I don't know do
we have I can't remember even now. Did we have music? Yeah?
We have music? There there we go. Top five Bottom
five music brought to you by our guys out in
l A Danny g At justin quing it up. We'll

(13:22):
start with the top five. Since I'm always a guy
who sees a glass half empty, never any negativity on
this show. Number five, Fly Eagles Fly. The Eagles whipped
the Washington Redskins. Carson Wentz looked fantastic. I have the
Eagles as the fifth best team in the NFL and
the fourth spot they held the Seattle Seahawks to six points.

(13:44):
They have the best quarterback in the NFL. They are
the Green Bay Packers number three. Would he have a
sophomore slump or not well? At least not for a
Week one they dominated the Giants. I'll be at the
Giants or without Odell Beckham Jr. But that game was
never in doubt. I've got the Cowboys at number three overall,
Danny g gets excited. I watched him play in person

(14:06):
this past weekend. They got a nice double digit win
on the road against the Tennessee Titans. I have got
the Raiders as the second best team in the NFL
based on Week one and in the one spot. And
in the one spot, the Kansas City Chiefs second half
they played against the New England Patriots was was otherworldly.

(14:28):
Those are my five best teams in the NFL. Now
my bottom five teams. This is the list of sadness.
You never want your team to appear here. You never
want to have to live through this. Starting at the
best team in the NFL, I have got the Houston Texans.
When you lose like they lose at home to begin

(14:49):
your season. To Blake Bordles and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Nah,
you are definitely not escaping our worst list. At the
fifth the worst team in the NFL, I have got
the Houston Texans in the twenty nine slot. The San
Francisco forty Niners. I'm not sure what they're doing this season.

(15:11):
Kyle Shanahan out there just chilling in San Francisco as
they tanked the season away and hope to either be
able to get Kirk Cousins to move across the country
or potentially have the number one overall pick and go
down the coast of California a little bit and snag
maybe Sam Donald, maybe Josh Rosen, who knows exactly those
are the two favorites to be the top quarterback taken.

(15:32):
How about in the thirty spot the Cincinnati Bengals Andy
Dalton four interceptions, You'll lose your home opener to the
Baltimore Ravens and Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco, by the way,
who has not played, who has not played hardly at all.
He steps into the steps onto the field off his
injury and leads his team to a shutout victory in

(15:53):
the next door worst spot in the NFL. Right now,
I have the Jets. All you need to know about
the Jets is they were double digit underdogs to the
Buffalo Bills. That's a tough spot to be and I'm
sorry Jets fans. And the worst team in the NFL,
the absolute worst team in the NFL right now, so
long as Andrew Luck isn't there to paper over the

(16:14):
difference is the Indianapolis Colts, who lost forty six to
nine to the Rams on Sunday, are the worst team
in the NFL. That is your outkicked Top five, bottom five.
Let's bring in the crew and see whether there's any disagreement.
Jason Martin, I'll start with you. We've got week one
of the NFL in the books. Any disagreement there? Um,

(16:37):
we both have the Chiefs at one. I've got green
Bay at two. I valued that went over Seattle a
little higher than you did. I think I've got Oakland
at three, Dallas at four, in Atlanta at five. I
could also put Pittsburgh at five. I just don't have
a real strong sense of five as of yet. I
don't disagree that Philadelphia look pretty good either, So I
guess you could throw any number of teams in there,

(16:58):
and then through thirty two is Houston, Cincinnati, San Francisco, Uh,
the Jets in Indianapolis, and the seller As. I believe
they're definitely the worst team in the league. Between Cincinnati
and San Francisco, I think Andy Dalton is still a
much better quarterback than anything San Francisco has out there.
Both of them looked putrid, both of them never really
UH in those games. So I'll give Cincinnati just a

(17:20):
little bit of a nod because I just think they're
a better football team. But in general, I think it's
pretty impressive where the Chiefs find themselves at this stage.
And where where would you put New England is a
question I was trying to come with because they lost,
but there's still New England Patriots. They're they're the defending champions.
Like they've got to be pretty close still to the

(17:40):
top five, I would say, no, no lower than like seven.
I would suggest almost any point in ranking teams based
on what you think before the season starts. So when
I ranked teams like people, when I ranked my OutKick
top ten and everything else, I rank entirely based on
the games on the field. Because you're right, I mean,
look when you when you look at it, Brady and

(18:01):
Belichick are a tandem that you can't discount. But they
looked awful in Week one, So if they bounce back
in week two, then I'll reassess where they are. And obviously,
the NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint. You've
got sixteen weeks to figure out where your team slots in,
and over the course of that sixteen weeks, you're gonna
have what ten were you probably play about like you expect,

(18:24):
three where you play a lot better than you expect,
and three where you play a lot worse than you expect.
I would say, on in general, right, sometimes you have
teams that that that out performed that, but I would
say that's generally the way that the season breaks down.
Ten games where you're like, yeah, this is about what
I expected to see from this team. Three were there
much better. And that's where the any given Sunday aspect

(18:45):
of the NFL comes into comes into play. Here, right
where something could happen where maybe the Chiefs end up
beating the Patriots. We think that's an aberration. Maybe it's not,
but right now we would say it is. And then
three where you play much worse. And so that would
be My breakdown's bringing the crew in l A h
my top five in order, the Chiefs, the Raiders, the Cowboys,
the Packers, and the Eagles. My bottom five counting down

(19:09):
so the worst the last team is the worst, the Texans,
the forty, Niners, the Bengals, the Jets, and the Colts.
Any substantial disagreements in l A not really. I'm down
with your top five. As far as the bottom five,
I agree with Jason. I'd have the Niners a little lower.
There was so much expectation for them. I I know
Hawyers their quarterback Clay, but on the defensive side of

(19:30):
the ball, everybody thought they were gonna play so much better.
And what happened to their top draft pick, Ruben Foster
kind of sums up the entire organization right now. He
comes out, makes a huge play to start the game
and on the very next play hurts his ankle and
is out for the rest of the game, and and
they're not sure, you know, if he's gonna miss any
more time. So it's just one bad break after another

(19:52):
for the Niners. Right did you see the crowd for
the Niners game? That was terrible? That that It's something
about at that stadium to Clay. I've been there, and
it's just it feels sterile. It's it's a bad vibe there.
I will tell you this. Um, I think that, and
I look, I'm a season ticket holder in the NFL.
I think that the NFL for people who like the

(20:15):
difference between a college football game. I went to Bama
Bama F s U and Tennessee Georgia Tech in the
in the NFL stadium for the Falcons, so it's a
neutral site game. It wasn't even on campus. College football
kicks the teeth in of the NFL when it comes
to enjoyable fan experience. And I know there's probably a

(20:36):
lot of people out there who maybe have not spent
much time in a college football environment. Because we're on
in all fifty states, we have people listening everywhere. And
I went to school on the East Coast, so I
know that the East Coast of the United States is basically,
for all intents and purposes, very much of a college
football waste land. If you don't count Penn State, there's

(20:57):
really nothing. And apologies to the universe of Maryland and
UH and to to all of the East Coast schools
that may be included in this Boston College whatnot. But
from basically Washington, d c. All the way up to Maine,
there is no East Coast college football culture. There just isn't. Now.
There are a few teams up there, the Yukons of

(21:18):
the world, that play high level college football, um, but
they don't have fan bases that are substantial, and they
don't have amazing tailgate environments or rock US home environment crowds,
and so as a result, I know this having gone
to school on the East Coast, the East Coast is
a college football waste land, and to a certain extent,

(21:40):
the West Coast, and as many as good as the
Pact Wealth teams are, a lot of people just don't
care that much. College football is a heartbeat of America,
center part of the country sport, the SEC, the eleven
state SEC footprint, The college football dominates every other sport.
Right now. We've got a lot of people listening in Atlanta.

(22:00):
The number of people who are Chicago who are Georgia
Bulldog fans dwarfs the number of people who are Atlanta
Falcon fans, even though the Falcons are really good. The
state of Georgia is a Georgia Bulldog state. The state
of Louisiana is an l s U state. The state
of Tennessee is a University of Tennessee state. By and large,

(22:22):
the college football heartbeat is stronger than the than the
pulse of any of the fan bases, even in states
where there are NFL teams. Same thing is true, by
the way, in the Big Ten, the Big Ten, by
and large, and certainly in the Big Twelve, college football
is bigger than the NFL. Now doesn't mean that in

(22:44):
those individual cities that the NFL isn't huge, But I
guarantee you everybody listening to me right now who has
spent time and I've spent substantial time at NFL stadiums
and in college stadiums, there's no comparison. There is no
comparison between the two at all. And uh and you
know it's it's interesting to me. The NFL is no doubt,

(23:05):
infinitely more popular. But I think that's because most people
haven't experienced college football. I really do, and because the
East and West Coast drive college football, I mean, sorry,
drive the NFL. I think if people on the East Coast,
if you live in Philadelphia and you had a choice
and you went to an Eagles game, and then you
came down and you went to let's say, an Alabama

(23:25):
football game, or an Ohio State or a Michigan football game.
I think you'd be like, my god, why did I
ever think Eagle games are fun? Yeah? But Clay Niner
games used to be super passionate and pact. It's still
The problem is they moved. It's a Bay Area issue.
They moved that team way too far outside of the
city and gutted the soul of that fan base. And mean,

(23:46):
I understand, I understand that on some level. It's still
I've been to so many NFL stadiums. It's an antiseptic like,
hospital like environment in the NFL stadiums compared to the
environment that you find in a college foot ball game.
Everywhere I've ever been, it just is no comparison. I'm
a season ticket holder. I mean, comparing the University of
Tennessee environment with the Tennessee Titan environment is like comparing

(24:11):
Heaven and Hell. There's nothing in common with them. Not
say people don't care. They obviously care a great deal
about football in my state. In general, it's one of
the most popular states for football in the entire country.
But I think everybody listening right now would probably agree
with me. If you compare the environment at an NFL stadium,
and I guarantee you, even with the brand new Falcon Stadium,

(24:33):
even with the brand new Falcon Stadium, I guarantee you
that the loudest and wildest that stadium will be was
for Alabama Florida State more so than it will be
for any Falcon game this year. And if Georgia plays there,
maybe George is lucky enough to make it into the
SEC title game. The Georgia Alabama SEC Title game would

(24:53):
be wilder and more raucous, and and and and just
a more insane atmosphere inside that stadium then any Falcons
game would be. I mean, I really do. Even in
places where football is king, and certainly in the Southern
United States, they love football more than they love football
anywhere else in the country. You look at participation rates
for kids. I saw an article recently in New York Times.

(25:15):
This is pretty interesting. The state of Vermont, for instance,
is almost about to be run out of football. There's
only like four kids in the whole state that play
high school football. This sport is almost shut down, and
the participation rates continue to plummet um. You know in
the South it continues to grow. Is using Alabama as
an example. Alabama, every year more kids play high school football. Anyway,

(25:39):
it's interesting point. Let's bring in Eddie Garcia. Eddie, if
you spend any time going back and forth between college
and pro, yes, I have. I'm actually a Charger season
ticket holder. My wife is a long time season ticket older,
so when we got married, I married into it. So, so,
were you guys gonna go to They're only playing like
twenty seven thousand seats right like the stadium? Are you guys?
Do you guys have season tickets there for the twenty

(26:01):
seven seat stadium? Do you know what? I actually think
that's what NFL teams and pro sports teams should do
in general is start to build small stadiums and make
them kick ass, because I think the day of the
thousand seat stadium is passed because I don't want to
get off my couch and go watch a game in person.
I was thinking about that watching the Titans and the Raiders.

(26:22):
The NFL is a better product on TV than it
is in person. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing what
that environment's going to be like at that smaller stadium,
there's no bad seats. I can tell you that we're sea.
I think you need to raise ticket prices and give
people who actually go to the stadium something more unique,
because otherwise, why would I've got a sixty flat screen

(26:42):
television in my house? Why would I not just kick
back on my couch instead of getting in the car,
driving parking, having to worry about everything associated with that,
when I can just watch the game, not to mention,
during commercial breaks, I can flip it over to red Zone,
check out every other game that's going on. Even as
a season ticket holders, I would rather watch games at home,
which is not good for the NFL. I do not
disagree with you. Speaking of the NFL, we had a

(27:03):
Monday night football doubleheaded to close out Week one. The
Broncos held off the Chargers, and the more competitive of
the two games. Denver actually had a seventeen point leading
the second half of The Chargers came back and they
were a forty four yard fuel goal away from tying
it up and sending into overtime, but with four seconds left,
the Broncos were able to block the kick and hold
on for that victory. The Vikings beat the Saint nineteen.

(27:26):
Sam Bradford a big game from Minnesota with three six
yards passing three touchdowns, and in his return to Minnesota,
New Orleans running back Adrian Peterson had just six carries
for eighteen yards. And Clay Baseball, the streaks continue for
both the Dodgers and the Indians. Dodgers lost to the
Giants last night actually early this morning, eight to six,
or was a three plus hour raind lay in that game.
They ended it at two eleven a m. Pacific time.

(27:49):
So that's eleven losses in a row for the Dodgers.
They lost sixteen of seventeen and the Indians shut out
the Tigers eleven nothing. That's nineteen straight wins for Cleveland.
There one went away from tying the American legue record
for consecutive victories. How many people do you think we're
stayed up for that game and rain Dalay listening on
the radio, because I know we're on five seventy AM,
so forty five minutes before we started the morning show.

(28:11):
They didn't they that's when they finished the game, that's correct, yes,
And the postgame show, actually there was a postgame show
afterwards before we were we were wondering if that was
gonna happen or not. So not not many I would
I would think stuck. Yeah, that is a that's tough
situation at especially when the Dodgers are playing right now. Yeah,
no kid. What's by the way, the record for most

(28:31):
consecutive I know, the Major and the American League records
twenty Yeah, the A's and then the twenty six I
think so over a hundred years old. There have been
like five or six teams that have gone between twenty
and twenty six. But doing the research yesterday, I think
it was the New York Giants Phillies. Okay, when was
the last time that somebody got over twenty I have

(28:55):
no idea to look at. If I know, for the Dodgers,
they haven't lost this many games in a row in
seventy three years. It doesn't sound very good. As you
get ready for the past, here you go. Nineteen sixteen,
as I said, New York Giants, that's number one with
twenty six wins. Number two was eighteen eighty. That was
twenty one. The nineteen thirty five was also twenty one

(29:15):
eight eighteen eighty four, and the the A's in two
thousand two. Really is the only thing even close in
terms of now with the Indians at nineteen and twenty seven.
There hasn't been anybody even at nineteen since forty seven.
Were you asking about wins in a row or losses? Wins? Okay?
I thought he was asking about losses. I thought he
was talking about wins. Am I wrong? No? I was

(29:37):
asking about wins, That's what I thought. Yeah, New York
Giants twenty six, which began in September in nineteen sixteen,
ended the last day of September in nineteen sixteen. That's
the record. So really we're seven away from the MLB
record for the Indians who are just on fire and
the modern day record though, like the one you said
that the a's where did they get? Uh? They got
twenty so they're the they're the a l that was

(29:57):
in two thousand and two. I mean that this is
I mean, like to one is a historic, unbelievable move
by the Indians. Yeah, it would the other number nineteen seven.
So we're talking just to get where they are right now.
They've only been two teams that have done it. If
they get past the athletics, hasn't been anybody since nineteen

(30:17):
thirty five. That's hit twenty one. That was the Chicago Cubs. Wow,
that's pretty impressive, even for somebody who doesn't care about
regular season baseball. We're coming to you alive from the
Geico Fox Sports Radio studio. Is easy to say fifteen
per cent or more on car insurance with Geico, go
to Geico dot com or call eight hundred nine four
seven Auto. The only hard part figuring out which way

(30:38):
is easier as well. With True Car, you can find
out what other people in your area paid for the
same car you're looking for and on average save over
three grand off M S r P. Whether you're looking
for a newer used car VI is it truegard to
enjoy a more confident car buying experience. All right, I've
got these tweets. I'm gonna read to you. ESPN as
I like to call him MS. ESPN has one standard

(30:58):
if you happen to be a left twinger uh in
terms of what you can say, and another standard if
you happen to be a conservative. Whether you're a conservative
or a liberal is dictated by what you can say.
You're not gonna want to You're not gonna believe what
One of the top talents at ESPN said last night
during Monday Night Football on Twitter, I'm gonna read these

(31:20):
four you when we come back, and that, my friends,
is gonna blow your mind. That's final segment our one
here on out kick the coverage on Fox Sports Radio.
Last night, Denver squandered most of a seventeen point lead
against the San Diego Chargers, but when somebody had to
make a play to preserve the victory, the Broncos were

(31:40):
up to the challenge step placement kick on the way
and he's shacked up and he's no good, no good.
With one second left in Denver, Shelby Harris block in
the forty four yard field goal attempt there to tie
the game. Denver gets the division win over the Chargers.
That's your Geico play today, great news, quick way you
can save money. Switch to Geico. Go to Geico dot

(32:03):
com and in fifteen minutes you could say fiftent or
more on car insurance. So last night during the game, um,
you know, look, it was kind of a boring game.
We played like you want to play that that guy's
sideline report one more time right here for everybody, do
we have that queued up? Um A spectacular sideline report.
I didn't listen to the broadcast at all. I do
this a lot, so it's not like I was making

(32:24):
some sort of conscious decision because Rex Ryan and I
guess Beth Mwens were calling this game used to be
the Chris Berman game on on the Monday night football
West Coast Swing. Did you guys actually listen to the audio?
I put so? Just so you know, I put the
broadcast very frequently on mute, and I will, you know,
be responding the emails or kind of doing work. I've

(32:46):
got my laptop in front of me, and I keep
an eye on the game, but I don't need somebody
to be telling me what's going on on the field
to know what the outcome of the game is. That
makes sense. So oftentimes I've got broadcast on mute, not
because I hate an ouncers or anything like that, but
just because I'm not an idiot, so I can tell
what's going on. I mean, you got a perpetual scoreboard.

(33:06):
I can see who has the ball, you know, Like,
it's not like I need an announcer to tell me
what's going on. Uh, did you guys actually listen? How
was it? Because ESPN made a huge deal about the
first female announcer everything else? Was it noticeably good or bad?
I didn't listen to a single minute of it, Jason Martin.
I wasn't particularly impressed. I mean, I the the sideline

(33:27):
situation was certainly strange because you've got a guy out
there where English is a second language, and you don't
really tell anybody ahead of time, and this poor guy's
out there trying to do the best job that he can,
but he doesn't really he's not all that adept with
the language comparatively to obviously to Spanish. So the whole
thing was just that was just bad. And I was
trying to figure out why you would do that when

(33:48):
you have so many sideline reporters at ESPN that are
well known that people actually would recognize as soon as
they saw him, even with all the layoffs. And the
only thing came to mind was when you have a
woman in the boost, So let's put his banicked down
on the sidelines as well and throw ESPN to Porte's
out there and see if we could just continue to
ramp up this diversity quotation for this game, because that
seemed to be more of the storyline than anything other

(34:10):
than maybe the two football teams that were actually out there.
I just I wasn't particularly impressed. I was certainly willing
to say that she did a great job. If she did,
I'm sure a lot of people will fall over themselves
to still try and do that today, no matter what.
But she certainly did not come across to me as
anybody that was certainly any more deserving of being there
than anybody else. Like, I don't care about the history

(34:32):
of it. I just wanted to be good, and I
just I wasn't particularly blown away by it. I think
that's how most people feel today in this modern era,
is that we've pretty much done everything, like somebody of
a different race or gender has pretty much done everything
at this point. So maybe I'm crazy, but I just
want the person who's best at their job. And I
didn't listen, so I don't even have an opinion about

(34:52):
whether she did a good job or not. But this
seems like such a look at me moment by ESPN
to kind of personify what they do you now, Like,
are they gonna put Kaitlin Jenner in the booth and
be like, oh, this is a really big deal for
first ever Monday night football game or having a transgender
person called Monday Night Football, like I'd be like, okay,
I mean as the transgender person the greatest possible play caller.

(35:13):
I just find it hard to believe. And again, I'm
not an expert that if you did a draft for
ESPN that Beth Mowens would be the second best possible
choice after they're a team for the typical Monday Night Football,
that she would get this gig if she were anything
other than a woman. Maybe that's true. I don't know.
I'm not an expert in game calling, but and I

(35:34):
didn't even listen to this. But for me, I'm a
meritocracy guy, right, Just like I want the best possible
players to be on the field, I don't want there
to be your random lesbian quarterbacks so that everybody can
be like, hey, look how inclusive the NFL is. We've
got a lesbian lesbian quarterback this week? Okay, Like, is
the lesbian quarterback the best possible quarterback that they could
trot out on in the field to win a football game.

(35:54):
If the answer is no, then to me, it's kind
of a show. You know, it's not really trying to
make a make a statement about anything else. And this
kind of ties in with with these these tweets. By
the way, did either of you guys want to listen
to the broadcast aggressively? Well, we're familiar with Beth Moens
here in Los Angeles because she's called the All the
Raider preseason games on kt l A Channel five in

(36:15):
Los Angeles, and that I guess my understanding as she
performed so well on Channel five, that's how she got
the gig with ESPN. So that's a big step, right
to go from calling preseason games to getting to call
Monday night football game. Like there's a very few guys, ever,
I bet, that have gone from calling preseason NFL to

(36:36):
suddenly getting to call Monday Night. She's next to Matt
Millen during the preseason games, so she seems really good.
I'm I'm familiar with her because she's on those Neon
college football kickoff game. Well, that was the interesting thing
about last night. She was next to Rex Ryan. He
stole the show as far as getting all the negativity
on social media. He was the one that seemed out

(36:57):
of place, and then it got worse when they went
to the awkward sideline reporter because Clay part of that
Sergio dip thing is that you have to actually it's
video and audio. It makes it even worse when you
see the audio clip because he looks like a deer
in headlights. Let's play that too. And and again this
goes to I think the difficulty. I know a lot
of sideline reporters and I've done a decent amount of

(37:19):
television and people think it's really easy. But if you
went to percent of people on the sideline and had
them do a report, it would be a disaster. It
might sound a little bit something like this. This is
like you're not gonna get the plane landed very well.
This is what happened, Beth coach. It's a pleasure to
be with you guys here on the field from up close,

(37:40):
just watching coach Bence Joseph from here. You watch him
now on the screen. This diversity in his background is
helping him a lot tonight quarterback at Colorado, defensive back
in the NFL, and here he is having the time
of his life. This now making this Yeah, I mean

(38:03):
that is kind of the report that you're eight year
old could do. You know, like, let's go to the
sideline reporter for some adept analysis. Well, here's what he's
done before he coached, he played in a college and
then he played somewhere else. And this is totally real.
When we were watching this at home, my girlfriend, book

(38:23):
report is a good analogy. My girlfriend looked at me
and she said, did he win a contest or something?
That she was being honest, So that's what it seemed like. Now, Um,
she's actually a fantastic But it would be amazing. That
would be great television if they just if fans won
the random contest to be sideline reporters for a game.
I mean I would watch that, like, how would that go?

(38:45):
You've got people talking to your in your ear again
if you haven't done TV, and again this this guy's
native language is not English, so that makes it that
much more difficult. But still like ESPN made the choice,
this is the best possible sideline reporter. We could put
on a play that again. Play this again and just listen,
Beth coach, it's a pleasure to be with you guys

(39:07):
here on the field, from up close, just watching coach
fence Joseph from here. You watch him now on the screen.
This diversity in his background is helping him a lot. Tonight,
quarterback of Colorado defensive back in the NFL, and here
he is having the time of his life this night,

(39:29):
making his head coaching tabut. If you need to start
your sideline report by telling people where you are, probably
not a good start. Hie glat drive us here, I'm
on the sideline and you can see the coach on
the TV is on sideline too, like not not good? Right, Like,
assume that people know I've been on the field a
few times to do reports. I assume that people know

(39:52):
where I am right like, Oh, there's the big field
behind him. Oh, that guy's on the field. Like. You
don't start your sideline report by saying, hey, us what,
I'm on the field right here behind me their teams
playing football. And behind on the sideline of the watching
the teams playing the football is a guy who's the
head coach. And that head coach used to have other

(40:14):
jobs where such as he was the uh, he was
the coach of somebody else before he's the coach here
and now he's having the time of his life. It's amazing.

Auto Zone. I want to play this guy's report for
you again because I spent the whole break watching it.
Is this one ESPN has left after they fired everybody.
They just bring in a random dude whose English is
his second language, and they're like, hey, Bud, you got
the sideline report today? And and I don't know, maybe

(40:58):
they did this intentionally, be they sabotaged this intentionally so
Beth Muwens wouldn't get any negative criticism because everybody just
focus on the train wreck that was this sideline report.
They never went back to him again. Listen to this again,
ESPN making plays MS, ESPN making plays on the sideline.
What's this guy's name, Sergio dip Sergio dip I said

(41:21):
before It sounds like a bad guy in a Marvel
comic book, Sergio Dip on the sideline, And uh he
is or like a World War two like soldier who
was like impossible to kill uh during the D Day invasion. Uh,
here is Sergio dip on the sideline, Beth coach, It's
a pleasure to be with you guys here on the field,
from up close, just watching coach Bence Joseph from here.

(41:47):
You watch him now on the screen. This diversity in
his background is helping him a lot tonight quarterback to
Colorado defensive back in the NFL, and here he is
having the time of his life. This Nick making his
head quotin table. Uh. That is absolutely ridiculous, all right,

(42:07):
So speaking of also absolutely ridiculous. ESPN has implemented policies
for what people can say about politics associated with their
social media accounts, and not surprisingly, they have fired people
left and right for having conservative viewpoints. Whether it's Kurt Schilling,
whether it's you talked to a lot of the people
who got laid off in the most recent round the layoffs.

(42:28):
There are a lot of people out there who have
said things of a conservative nature that are no longer
employed at ESPN. Well yesterday, Uh, Jamal Hill, who has
her own show, And I like Jamal. I think she's smart,
I think she's entertaining. I think before she got obsessed
with being political, she was actually really fun. And then
I think to a certain extent, like she's just kind

(42:50):
of gone off the deep end with the election of
Donald Trump. And these are examples. These are tweets that
she sent yesterday. Donald Trump is a white supremacist who
has largely surrounded himself with other white supremacists. Trump is
the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise
is a direct result of white supremacy period. The height

(43:12):
of white privilege is being able to ignore his white
supremacy because it's no threat to you. Well, it's a
threat to me. Donald Trump is a bigot. Glad you
could live with voting for him. I couldn't because I
cared about more than just myself. He is unqualified and
unfit to be president. He is not a leader, and
if he were not white, he never would have been elected.

(43:36):
If these things had been said about Barack Obama, every
single person who said them at ESPN would have been
immediately fired. If you change this tweet, this is Jamal Hill.
Trump is not Trump is unqualified and unfit to be president.
You could certainly have said that about Barack Obama. I
happen to vote for him twice, but you could certainly

(43:59):
have made that our ument. He is not a leader.
That's been said about every single president that has ever
existed in our country's history. If you read the historical record,
and if he were not white, he never would have
been elected. If someone had tweeted, if Barack Obama were
not black, he never would have been elected. You could
make a strong argument that that is in fact true

(44:21):
because Barack Obama brought out a level of black support
that has never been seen before to help him get
elected president. If Barack Obama had been a white guy
named Barry Obama and he's the white dude from Illinois,
he never gets elected president. You can make that argument
pretty soundly if you look at the data, right, I mean,

(44:43):
look at what happened to Hillary the black voter support
rolled back. If Hillary Clinton had gotten supported at the
same level back by black voters that Barack Obama did,
she would be president today. So there were a lot
of black voters who were willing to vote for Barack
Obama because they were the same a color skin as him,
who did not come out to vote for Hillary Clinton

(45:04):
because she was a white woman. If Hillary Clinton had
been a black woman, she probably would have won this election.
I think that's fair to say. If you look at
the rates of black turnout in the vote and assume
that white turnout is going to remain relatively Even if
Hillary Clinton had been black, she probably would have gotten
elected president. And you could certainly say that if you
look at the voter turnout and voter rolls, that if

(45:26):
Barack Obama were not black and did not have the
support of black voters that he did, he would not
have been elected. If someone at ESPN had tweeted if
Barack Obama were not black, he never would have been elected.
They would have gotten fired immediately, probably on the spot.
They would have been publicly branded or racist. They would
have been disallowed from ever commenting on sports. Again, how

(45:51):
is it that Jamal Hill can go on and say
Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded
himself with other white supremacists. That's a pretty aggressive comment, right.
I don't think that there is anything you can point
to that proves that Donald Trump is a white supremacist.
To me, coming on, if you're in a public arena,

(46:11):
coming on and saying somebody is a white supremacist is
the equivalent of me coming on right now and calling
somebody a pedophile. If I'm going to call you a pedophile,
the evidence better be overwhelming that you are in fact
a pedophile, right, And if I'm calling you a pedophile
and you're not one, then you have every right to
be furious. Tell me why Donald Trump should not be

(46:35):
furious at ESPN for allowing one of their most prominent
employees to go on Twitter and call him a white supremacist,
and not just him, but to say that everybody who
works for Donald Trump is a white supremacist as well. Largely,
that's a pretty aggressive political statement, right. I don't have
any problem with politics in sports. I think it's bad

(46:59):
business for Yes, sp N, but I think it's certainly
bad business for ESPN when all of you listening right
now are kind of nod in your head like, yeah, well,
I mean a conservative wouldn't be able to say that,
Like Kurt Schilling came out and said that he didn't
agree with the North Carolina transgender bathroom law, and he
got fired. Politically, there are a lot more people who

(47:20):
agree that the transgender bathroom bill in North Carolina was
unacceptable than I think it's okay to call a sitting
president a white supremacist and called most of his staff
white supremacist as well. To me, this is the equivalent
of what democrats said about Barack Obama the birther controversy

(47:41):
and also calling him a Muslim. Like, I don't believe
Donald Trump is a white supremacist. I think you can
attack Donald Trump's policies on a lot of things, but
his history doesn't suggest in any way that he's a
white supremacist. That's just the truth, just like Barack Obama's
history didn't suggest in any way that he was not
in America or that he was a Muslim. Those were

(48:04):
unfair attacks that if a employee of ESPN had made
about Barack Obama, if they had gone on and said, oh,
he's a birther, he wasn't born here, or if they'd
gone on and said, oh, you know what Barack Obama is,
uh is a Muslim like those would have been unfair
attacks that I think would have been unacceptable comments for

(48:26):
somebody to make who's employed at ESPN. Trump is the
most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise as
a direct result of white supremacy period, Then how do
you explain the fact that Donald Trump got elected not
because of white supremacists. They've been voting for Republicans for
a long time. Donald Trump got elected because a lot

(48:47):
of people who voted for Barack Obama in Pennsylvania, in Ohio,
in Michigan, they flipped their votes Wisconsin too. Donald Trump
got elected because a lot of white people who voted
for Barack Obama decided they didn't want to vote for
Hillary Clinton in the Big ten states. And Donald Trump

(49:08):
got elected by a tiny margin in those states, in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio,
and Wisconsin. But when you go look at the voter rolls,
the guys who changed their votes, by and large were
white men who had voted for Barack Obama in two
thousand eight. In two thousand twelve that flipped to voting
for Donald Trump. In That's not white supremacy unless you

(49:31):
believe that the people who voted for Donald Trump in
two thousand eight in two thousand twelve suddenly became a
racist by the time Donald Trump's campaign came around. They
voted for Donald Trump because they believed he was more
likely to help people in their lot in life, which
is why most people vote that way for president. So
when Jamal Hill says Trump is the Trump's victory is

(49:51):
the direct result of white supremacy period. That's not true. Moreover,
it's a pretty offensive attack at half the country that
voted for Donald Trump. And also, Donald Trump is a bigot.
Glad you could live with voting for him. I couldn't
because I cared about more than just myself. If he

(50:12):
were not white, he never would have been elected. I mean, WHOA. Now,
if you want to make those comments, you're certainly entitled
to make those comments. I don't know how ESPN can
allow a forward facing employee to make those comments and
have fired people for what they've said when they don't
agree with their conservative beliefs. Right, And I'm not making

(50:36):
a judgment. I voted for Gary Johnson. I'm public about
my votes. I've never voted for Republican candidate. But half
the country voted for Donald Trump. Over half of your
audience at ESPN voted for Donald Trump. I don't know
how ESPN can claim that they treat liberals and conservatives
evenly inside that company, and Jamal Hill can go out

(50:59):
and say that's off because if she had said the
equivalent about Barack Obama, if she had said that he
wasn't born here, or if she had said that the
only reason he got elected was because he was black,
or if she had said that Barack Obama is a Muslim.
Those are all allegations that I think are in the
similar vein to what she just said about Donald Trump. Here,

(51:20):
is there any doubt that she would have been fired
on the spot. And if you are a company that
allows criticisms of a Republican president vile, unfair personal attacks
by a sitting president on behalf of your network, how
in the world can you allow it on one side

(51:42):
and not allow it on the other. I am just
I'm blown away by this um and we're gonna go
to I believe Alex Marvez now, but I want you
guys to go ahead and load up the phone lines
because I want to get your reactions to this. Eight
seven seven six six nine is the number. Eight seven
seven six three six nine. Again, these are tweets sent

(52:05):
last night by ESPN employee Jamal Hill. She said if
Donald Trump were not white, he never would have been elected.
She said Donald Trump is a bigot. Glad you could
live with voting for him. I couldn't because I cared
about more than just myself. She said, Trump is the
most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise is

(52:26):
a direct result of white supremacy period. She also said
Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded
himself with other white supremacists. Yikes, eight seven seven nine
six six three six nine, Load him up. I'm gonna
go to Alex Marvez next and we will discuss this

(52:48):
quickly with him, and then we'll talk the NFL as well.
And then when we come back after Alex Marvez, I
will go to your calls, so you'll be on the
hold for a little bit, but Jason Martin can field
all these calls and you'll be queued up and ready
to go. I want to get your reactions. Am I
right or wrong in the way that I am analyzing this?

We go down to Alex Marvez. Alex Marvez Week one
of the NFL in the books, and just like we

(54:34):
all expected, Alex Smith, Sam Bradford and Jared Goff were
the best three quarterbacks on the field anywhere. And so
I'm ready last in the NFL and completion percentage, how
about them? Apple? It is it is pretty darn remarkable.
I will say this. You know, in the case of Bradford,
you know, that's what you saw last night really makes
you think, Wow, this guy can be a franchise quarterback.

(54:56):
I've never seen him look so good play? How about you?
I mean, I really have never seen this Sam Bradford.
Good thing. It only took you know, eight years to
get it done or whatever. It is much like Alex
Smith who was waiting thirteen years to throw a deep ball. Yeah,
I mean, look, there is uh, there is no doubt.
I ran through my top five in my bottom five.
And we'll do that again in the final hour for
everybody waking up across the country. But let's kind of

(55:17):
circle around in general here what stood out to you
the most from Week one in the NFL season. The
challenging thing about the NFL in general is that you
never know exactly what's gonna happen, right, Like, uh, week one.
Looking at individual weeks can be really difficult because it's
hard to project what was an outlier. I said earlier,
I'm curious if you agree with me. In a sixteen

(55:38):
game NFL season, you have ten games where the team
plays about like what you would expect, three where you
play much better than you anticipated, and three where you
play much worse. And so when you only have one
week of data to look at, it's hard to determine,
for instance, to the Patriots have bigger issues than we
might assume, or was this like the bad game they
played years ago against the Chiefs when they got whipped

(55:59):
four You won fourteen and they didn't lose again and
they went on to win the Super Bowl? Right? Is
there anything? So it's hard to look into this and say, boy,
is this projecting forward something more significant? What would you say?
You feel like you know more than you did after
a week one and you feel like it isn't just
an overreaction. And by the way, I'm glad you mentioned that,
because think about how much time you have to game
plan for week one, but how little time you have

(56:22):
to game plan for week two. In comparison, I mean,
you came to City through the kitchen sink. As a
New England Patriots, You're not going to be able to
do that every week in the NFL. And I get that,
but kudos to them for winning the game. They look great. No,
you know what, Indianapolis is just awful. And you know,
Chuck Pogano, you know, you know the fact is that
this guy doesn't come across necessarily as competent at all
times anyway, let alone when you can't identify the team

(56:45):
that just beat you like forty six to three on
opening weekend, and that's and these are the Rams, okay,
And I mean they just killed the Colts. And you
know you don't see that that year given it onto
his contract to say, no, Chuck, we understand Andrew Luck
this and that you a first year general manager and
Chris Ballard, I think everyone's getting cleared out at the
end of the season at with his Colts team. I

(57:05):
mean really, and I'm not even saying if they turn
it around. I don't see how they turn it around
in Indianapolis. You don't really have a running game to
speak of. Your offensive line is still full of injuries,
you don't have Andrew Luck, and the defense is just okay.
At best. Obviously they didn't even look even okay the
other day, So that was something to me that really
stood out as far as the team goes. The New
York Giants, Bobby Heart is awful at right tackle, and

(57:28):
you know, we we knew going into the season this
offensive line was going to be an issue. And I
thought Chris Collinsworth did a great job too with Eric
Flowers at left tackle. The guys putting one of his
legs so far back that he can't help in the
running game because he has to do it because he
can't handle speed rushers. And the Giants are just fooling
themselves with this offensive line. It maybe the thing that
keeps them from contending for a Super Bowl because of

(57:49):
the insistence of the front office that these guys can
play and they're not very good. Yeah, and that's always
a challenge as well. Um, when you look at at
what we saw, uh last night, did you hear this surgery?
I gotta ask you about this because you you covered
the NFL. Did you hear this sideline report that has
set the entire Internet of fire? Absolutely? Sergio dipp Man, No, no, no,

(58:11):
this is a this is a new wave of sideline reporting,
just just to just pick a guy out and you know,
just throw him out there and see you see what
he does. Sure, it's like how Fox taught me when
they first put me on TV in don't give you
any training, to just put you out there, you know
what I'm saying, and throw you on live national TV.
It's good stuff. You know what's funny about that? You
mentioned it? Um? I So when FS one launched, I

(58:31):
started doing television for FS one. I had never been
in a studio before, right, Like I had been like
a talking head where you sit and just talk into
a into a television monitor. But I had never stood
in a studio before. And this is a true story
that I think at some point in time if they
ever do an oral history of f S one or
something would be wild. Alex I had never set at

(58:53):
a desk and done a highlight in my life, all right,
never done it? Uh they had suddenly like something happened
and I got called in. I had never Like I
was so raw that I didn't even know I had
never even said at that desk. I didn't know that
there was a television monitor on the TV directly in
front of me, like I had. I had never done

(59:13):
a highlight in my life, And I sat down and
I did live highlights on FS one the first year
that the network launched, talking about sink or swim, Like,
I literally had never done a highlight in my life, right,
I had watched highlight shows my entire life, but I
my first time to ever even attempt to describe what
was happening during a game was while I was sitting

(59:34):
at the desk with highlights running live. And so you're
not the only one, yeah, right, but that's kind of
the Fox way, right. They throw you in and you
either sink or you swim. So I feel like, look,
the guy who went on the sideline and did that report,
You're only gonna be on for a minute, Like this
is not that complicated. But they made the decision to
put a guy who's first language is not English on

(59:57):
the sideline and then go to him on their premier broadcast.
And uh, and he wasn't ready, right, I mean like
he wasn't ready for the for the role, right. And
I think that's the thing that has gotten the people
in a lot of ways, is that, Listen, I'm all
for advancements, Listen. I I served a minority internship at
the New York Times when I was in college, and

(01:00:18):
it gave me a big boost up. So, you know,
being Hispanic, I get it, you know, but I like
to think that it's my work that got me to
where I'm at and putting in all the time that
I do trying to do this. And when you see
someone that goes out there that just seems completely ill prepared,
that doesn't look like they've ever been in front of
a television camera before, and the only reason you feel
that they're out there is because they're Hispanic, I can
understand why some people are really upset about that. And

(01:00:39):
I get it it and it's a point. And listen,
a ESPN gets beat up promoting its liberal agenda anyway, right,
So I mean, and you know this just goes ahead
and further is that, you know, I mean, you know,
put people out there that are ready to go. They
can give you something insightful on the silent. That's what
we all want. Listen, Rex Ryan, he brought it last night.
He was great. Beth Mowen, she brought it. That's great.

(01:01:00):
But you know the amazing part is I guess maybe
for Beth now people can stop reminding her that she's
a woman because they'll pick on this guy. So that's good.
From from a pure like sandbagging perspective. I feel like
maybe ESPN throw this guy out there to distract from
Beth mwen so they would just all light up and
go after this guy instead. Adrian Peterson on the sideline.
He's over thirty years old. It's a major story. We

(01:01:21):
played the audio an hour one of his like, you know,
issues with whatever they are with with his coaching staff
there on the sideline with the Saints. Is he done? Oh?
You know what, he might want to And I'm not
joking when I tell you this, and I'm writing this
up for Sporting News dot com. He may really want
to consider just retiring right now and just say, you
know what, it was a great career doing Andre Johnson

(01:01:42):
like he did with the Titans, and say listen, it's
it's okay. I get it, you know, because last night
it wasn't a homecoming. It was a humiliation for Adrian Peterson.
You look across the field, You've got a running back
who's younger, who's cheaper, who's better, who just broke your
rookie rushing record for a single game, and at the
same time, you think that Sean Payton is going to
give you all these carries because you're in a homecoming situation.

(01:02:04):
Not quite. That's not how Sean works. And you know
what I think he did as well. I think he
tried to get a message across Adrian Peterson. He's using
Alvin Kamara in goal line situations. He didn't even put
Adrian in the game. He was the third running back
last night. And I mean he could sit there and
stare at Shawn all he wants Sean behind the scenes,
he doesn't care. Okay, he has kept carries away from

(01:02:26):
mark Ingram and giving them to Tim hid Tower over
things like this at the goal line, you know, just
to try to prove a point that I'm Sean Payton,
I'm in charge. He he looked at all the offensive
talent that he's traded through the years and he doesn't care.
He just figures my system will put up points anyway.
I'm Sean Payton. I want a Super Bowl and I
can do what I want. So if Adrian Peterson thought
buying into this team philosophy and willing, you know, they

(01:02:46):
paid him, and I guess he was desperate to join
the team. But I just really wonder how truly all
in he was for those goals instead of being there
encouraging his teammates on the sideline. Let's go, it was
all about Adrian Peterson last night. And did you notice
too anytime we saw him on no teammates talking to him,
Nobody really working with Adrian. Adrian was just sitting there
with that that. You know ten miles stare often of

(01:03:07):
the distance man. He he was the Sergio Dip of
the Vikings Viking Saints game, So why not try? Why
not just release him? If you're Sean Payton, now, maybe
you don't want to do it now because all the
attention was gone over to the to the the issue
on the sideline last night. But he's not really going
to make a substantial difference. It doesn't appear to the
win loss record for the Saints, and he's clearly going

(01:03:28):
to be a distraction on some level because he's a
superstar player. Now, maybe it'll just fade because people will say, oh,
he's like pretty much every other running back in the
modern era who's over thirty. He just doesn't have much
gas left in the tank. Maybe that will be the discussion.
But in general, like, what do you like, how do
you handle that? Well? I think you're gonna have to
first see what Adrian's attitude is gonna be. You're gonna

(01:03:48):
have to see if he starts complaining publicly, which Adrian
has attention to do. Remember, he was able to browby
previous head coaches and offensive coordinators in Minnesota to give
him the football. There's a basic understanding that you have
to give Adrian Peterson the ball. And it limited some
of the things that the Vikings could get done on
offense because every time you knew Adrian was out there,
you weren't going to throw to him and it was
probably going to be a run and his passport wasn't

(01:04:10):
that great and early on in his NFL career play
that was fine. You know, it didn't matter because he
was that good a player. He's not that good a
player anymore. Thus you can't use him like that. And
he's got a very specialized role. I'm assuming he was
going to be the short artage guy, but they didn't
even use him as that. I think he and Sean
probably have to have a talk and see what direction
this is going to be in. Listen, mark Ingram always
gets hurt. Right. We know that at some point in

(01:04:32):
the season you may need Adrian Peterson, but he's got
to be on board with team goals and not me goals,
and I'm not really sure if Adrian is capable of that.
Ezekiel Elliott, do you believe that this is going to
change the way the NFL goes through the investigative process
and suspends players or do you think that they're basically
too far across the rubicon now, like this is what
they do in the NFL, and so they're going to

(01:04:52):
continue to do it no matter what happens with this
court ruling. Yeah, I think the same thing that the latter,
because they're they're stubborn to a fault when it comes
to these things. As we know with the way it look,
they're not good at running investigations. But they don't even care,
I say, you know what I mean. They just figure, yeah,
it's Article forty six, and we'll win in the federal courts.
And you know, it's a labor dispute, and the courts
don't want to be involved, so they'll rule on our side.

(01:05:14):
So you have investigations that are sloppily done. You have
the perception at least out there that someone is getting
railroaded with the way that the thing was done. And
when your lead investigator says she doesn't think that Adrian,
that that that is Zko Elliott should be suspended for
this sort of thing, well what does that tell you? Right?
But see all of those things when it comes to
this investigation, they don't matter. It's the purview of the

(01:05:35):
commissioner as long as they feel there was some sense
of fairness done. The federal courts are gonna say, this
is your problem, n f L p A. You're the
guys that agreed to give Roger Goodell all this power. Sorry,
negotiate better next time. And that's the thing that the
Morris Smith is going to have on his record. But
I honestly don't think to most players even really care.
A but what Roger Goodell does. This affects like one
percent of the players in the NFL. They got bigger

(01:05:57):
issues like that. The owners sleeping in pillows filled with
hundred all our bills, Well, they're not getting the type
of salary that they could under a better labor deal.
That's the bigger issue to me. But again we draw
the attention of the Zeke Elliott stuff because well and
c Elliott, we're talking to Alex Marvez. Alex, you're in Florida.
I don't know exactly where you are right now, but
you've lived all over the state. What kind of situations
around you right now? How was the impact of Hurricane

(01:06:19):
Irma so far as you've seen it, it's pretty crappy, eclaude,
To be honest with you, I'm in Gamesville, Florida now
full time because it is God's country and hopefully we
will be able to play our game against the pains
of life. Do you think that that that that game
will take place? And I mean you're in Gainesville, Like,
what's the situation in the city with Tennessee, Florida theoretically
scheduled to happen. There a lot of folks about power still.

(01:06:40):
I mean, you know, school is not back in session.
I mean, but we love our football, so I mean
that's why I think I think ultimately it will be
played because we're not talking about having like you know,
first responders on call. You know, the concession people can
get there, but not but the city is a mess
right now. I mean, there's no power at my house.
I'm over my inlus right now because I want to
do the show and see the Monday night games. But
it's a mess. I mean, you know, the city is.

(01:07:01):
But look, it could have been so much worse. And
that's the thing about it. Really, we are so blessed
here because Irmin got on on land and stayed on land,
had that thing, and it's amazing. One of the scientists said,
twenty to thirty miles either directions, one or two places
would have been screwed. Miami would have been hit, and
that coast even harder, or on the west coast of
Florida you would have had that storm surge and places
would be underwater. We got so lucky that that storm

(01:07:23):
stayed over land and now it's just a matter of
picking up a bunch of branches, down trees, no power,
some flooding, but other than that, it's a beautiful day
here getting ready for Saturday, three thirty Eastern time. Love it.
What do you think is gonna happen in the game.
I think the Gators got it, I do. I mean, look,
we were bad, but as long as we don't plays
ire again like in long stretches, because he's just not it.

(01:07:45):
I mean, you know, Phelipe Franks is your guy. And
the thing that drove me nuts about that game that
they played against Michigan was I get putting in Francs
for a couple of plays, But you can't expect all
these kids who are basically trying to learn one quarterback
to try to learn two quarterbacks and run two completely
different sets of offense in the second half. The one
thing that stunts me, Clay is the venom towards Jim
mclwaane by Gators finds. It's like, I just want to

(01:08:06):
show them a photo of Will must Champ at all
times and say, do you understand what this man has
done to erase the memory of Will must Champ. We've
won the SEC East twice. I get it. We need
to get the offense fixed, give the guy time to
try to recover from this. But in the meantime, at
least we're winning. But there's a lot of heat on
Macawen to get some offense going. I mean, I'll tell
you what they'll give it. I give the Vols credit
man coming back. You know, you never want to lose

(01:08:27):
to one of those er option teams. But they you
guys did a good job. Came back against Georgia Tech.
I'm fired up. I think it's gonna be a great
game on Saturday. If I were Florida, I might break
out the triple option the way Tennessee looked against Georgia Tech.
I don't know how much worse their offense could be.
Good stuff, my man. I'll be watching get get Everything
ready back as best you can in Gainesville. And thanks
for waking up early forests in a tough situation there anytime, Clay.

(01:08:48):
Thanks that is Alex Marvez. Go follow him on Twitter
at Alex Marvez. I am Clay Travis, And let's go
ahead and bring in my guy Eddie Garcia. You just
heard a report from on the ground in Florida that
they are still a little bit of a mess. Oh yeah,
no doubt about it. They'll be cleaning up the effects
from Hurricane Irma for quite some time and it will
have an effect on the sports world going forward as well.

(01:09:10):
We had a baseball game between the Raising Yankees played
at City Field in New York, and that was a
home game for the Tampa Bay Rays because of Hurricane Irma.
But let's check back in the NFL and we had
the Monday Night Football doubleheader. The Broncos held off the
Chargers twenty one Denver at a seventeen point leading the
second half, Charges came all the way back and almost
sending it over time four seconds left. They tried a

(01:09:31):
forty four yard field goal that would have tied it up,
but the Broncos blocked the kick and held on for
that victory. The Vikings beat the Saints twenty nine to nineteen.
Big game for Minnesota quarterback Saint Bradford, who had three
hundred forty six yards passing three touchdowns, and in his
return to Minnesota, New Orleans running back Adrian Peterson and
just six carries for eighteen yards. The support is brought
to you by True Car. With True Car, you can

(01:09:52):
find out what other people in your area paid for
the same car you're looking for. New We're used is
a True Car and enjoying more confident car buying experience
and Clay we don't want to forget about Bay Small.
The Giants beat the Dodgers eight to six in a
game that started at ten pm Pacific time after a
three plus hour rained away. Dodgers end up losing their
eleventh in a row. They've dropped sixteen of their last
seventeen games, it's their longest losing streak in seventy three years.

(01:10:14):
The Indians, meanwhile, when their nineteenth game in a row,
shutting out the Tigers eleven nothing. Cleveland's now one away
from the American League record for consecutive wins, and their
magic number to wrap up the AO Central is down
to six. Good stuff, my man, Eddie Garcia, Eddie, how
do you think you would have done if you were
on the sideline for that game? Like if we just
took everybody on this show, right, Like we took Justin Cooper,

(01:10:36):
if we took Uh, Danny g if we took you,
if we took Jason Martin, if we took myself. Is
there anyway one of the five of us could have
been worse than that guy? Let me put it this way, Clay,
I think you could have put me on the Spanish
language station. And I don't speak Spanish, but I think
I could have done a better job than Uh than
our guy Sergio dimp last night and the name I

(01:10:57):
love the name. That was great. I feel bad for
this guy because I feel like ESPN just led him
over the middle and let him just get wiped out.
Do we have that audio for people who were just
waking up. He's also issued a public statement. Early it
looks like a hostage video. Sergio dipp has now issued
a statement. Um and uh, I just retweeted it, but

(01:11:21):
he's talking about how nine eleven and like it's it's
not a good it's not a good it's not a
good speech. Uh. But it's too long. I mean it's
like two minutes long. He should have gotten in and
out quickly. All you need to know is that was
the only report he gave. He never went back to him.
They never went back to him again. That's never a
good sign, sideline reporters when you never get gone to again.
Here was if you missed it, if you're asleep last night,

(01:11:42):
if you're just waking up. Across the country, ESPN breaks
out Beth Mwens and Rex Ryan. It's a huge moment
for the advancement of women. They can now call an
NFL game or Joyce. I know all of you are
sitting around like when on Earth or women gonna be
able to call him Monday night football game where well,
it happened and they had a guy by the name
of Sergio dip as the sideline reporter. This is even
funnier on video, by the way, when you actually see

(01:12:03):
the picture associated with it. But they went to him
early for an important message about new Denver bronco head
coach Evance Joseph. And this is what it sounded like,
Beth coach. It's a pleasure to be with you guys
here on the field from up close, just watching coach
Vance Joseph from here. You watch him now on the screen.

(01:12:25):
This diversity in his background is helping him a lot tonight.
Quarterback at Colorado, defensive back in the NFL, and here
he is having the time of his life this night,
making his head coaching tabut. This reminds me of Miss
South Carolina was at Miss teen South Carolina. We're gonna
take your calls eight seven seven six three six nine.

(01:12:47):
I'm also going to dive back into these if you're
just waking up. ESPN employee Jamal Hill went off on
Donald Trump last night. She said, and I quote, Donald
Trump is a white super nemessist who has largely surrounded
himself with other white supremacist Trump is the most ignorant,
offensive president of my lifetime. His rise as a direct

(01:13:08):
result of white supremacy. Um, Donald Trump is a bigot.
Glad you could live with voting for him. I couldn't
because I cared about more than just myself. He's unqualified
and unfit to be president. He is not a leader,
and if he were not white, he never would have
been elected. If ESPN had any employee who had gone

(01:13:29):
on and said Barack Obama was not born in America,
or Barack Obama is the only president because he's black,
or Barack Obama is a Muslim, all of those things
I think are the equivalent of what Jamal Hill said
about Donald Trump last night. Is there any way that
person would still be employed as a result as a result,

(01:13:49):
To me, this is evidence of how in the left
wing sports media today you can say anything you want
as long as it's ripping conservatives, but if you say
anything remotely critical of a liberal, you get fired and
my right or wrong eight seven seven six three six nine.
I'm Clay Travis. This is how kicked the coverage, and
I just want to thank everybody for the diversity of

(01:14:11):
opinion that's led to me being such a spectacular I
was trying to make I can't even I can't even
make fun of how bad Sergio Dipp was there. I
was trying to make a joke about how bad his
report was, and I can't even say it as badly
as him having the time of his life. It's just
like Dan the dance, what's the dirty dancing? That's the song,

(01:14:31):
right time of his life. What a great job by
Sergio Dipp. We'll take your calls next on Fox Sports Radio.
Why from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studio is easy
to say? Or more on car insurance with Geico, go
to Geico dot com or call seven Auto. The only
hard part figuring out which way is easier and uh

(01:14:51):
hanging out here with the crew reading. Some of these
tweets were also reacting to Sergio Dipp's incredible performance last night. Um,
Donald Trump is a biggot. This is Jamal Hill ESPN
dot ESPN's one of their top on air people. Glad
you could live with voting for him. I couldn't because
I cared about more than just myself. He's unqualified, unfit

(01:15:12):
to be president. He's not a leader, and if he
were not white, he never would have been elected. Trump
is the most ignorant, offensive president in my lifetime. Has
rise a direct result of white supremacy period as well
as Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely
surrounded himself with other white supremacists. Going to your phone

(01:15:32):
calls Jason Martin, any doubt from you that if this
is said and you flip it, you know, and say
that you're that that another employee at ESPN is saying
Barack Obama is only elected president because he's black, Barack
Obama is a Muslim, Barack Obama is not born in
the country, that that person would have been immediately fired,

(01:15:53):
no doubt at all. The only the only part I
disagree with you one is I never have found Jamal
Hill to be fun Like she's always been political to me.
I mean, she wrote every single year about the plight
of the black quarterback in the NFL, And how I
remember one quote that she used over and over again
about how blacks always have to work twice as hard
to be on the same level as whites in this country.

(01:16:15):
And she said it as as recently as last year,
like she does it all the time. She was the
worst five or six years ago at that to me,
like I've never understood, like I know that you're tight
with her a little bit so that might change things
a little bit. But she is she like the biggest
race baders in the history of ESPN for well over
half a decade. She has never been entertaining to me

(01:16:37):
at all. Might be true, but she's funny. She also
remember the slave catcher comment as well. We didn't even
mention that, but a couple of months ago when Kaepernick
made his deal with the police being Modernday slave catcher,
she called it historically accurate and said that the system,
as well as most police are, are institutionally racistem with it.
We all know that, and it's fact now, like this

(01:16:57):
ain't new, this is not new at all. She's funny,
so I will she she can make me laugh. And
I've said this before. If you can make me laugh,
I will forgive any flaw that you have. And I
don't assume that everybody's gonna agree with me on every
political issue. I mean you should, because the country would
be better off if they were, like, hey, Clay Travis,
you're the King Solomon and the Internet. You just solve everything.
I really do think the country would be better off

(01:17:18):
if I made every decision that matters. But that's because
I have incredible self regard for myself, but also because
I think I'm really good at solving problems other than
the fact that my websites down. Uh, we may not
have the anonymous mailbag today, we've got loaded lines. I'm
gonna go to your calls. Who should I go to first?
Jason Martin. Uh, Charlie in Columbia. Charlie in Columbia, South Carolina?

(01:17:39):
What's up, Charlie? What's going on? Man? You know, I
think the country was better off if everybody was a libertarian.
Well that's kind of what I am. Yes, the middle
of the yeah, right, you know. And because I mean,
I just don't understand you, You're exactly right. And um,
I mean people just get fired for personal opinions. But
it just depends on what side of the center you're on.

(01:17:59):
And and I just don't understand it. But uh, I'm
not gonna sit here in college and mel Hill racist
because I'd be ignorant to say so, because I do
not know her play he said, you do, so I
don't know her. But I'm telling you this right now.
Donald Trump is not giving people one single reason to
think that he's a racist. He's following laws. It's it's
American laws. People like I just don't I just don't

(01:18:20):
understand why these people. Oh my gosh, well here, well,
here's why. Here's why. And I'm gonna say it, and
it's gonna sound bad, but I am certainly no racist.
But this is what I see. Okay. If there wasn't racism,
then African Americans or any other minority wouldn't know who
to blame for all their problems. They'd actually have to
take responsibility for their actions instead of just saying, hey,

(01:18:40):
it's the white guy's fault. And that's just the bottom line.
I'm not gonna go into detail. I'm just gonna leave
it to that. Y'all have a great morning. I love you,
Show Clay. A lot of people feel that way. You know.
The flip side would be, we have a long history
of racial discrimination in this country, and therefore it's not
a free country. I can make either side, or I
can make any argument, well, right like, I can sit
here and make an argument for you for why affirmative

(01:19:03):
action needs to exist and be expanded, And I can
make an argument for you for why affirmative action leads
to more racism in the country, right like, I can
make any kind of argument on this front. My issue
is I don't have an issue with politics and sports.
I think it's dumb from a business perspective for a
big company like ESPN, which is hemorrhaging viewers, which is
losing billions of dollars relative to what it used to earn,

(01:19:26):
to alien eate half of the population. The majority of
the ESPN's viewers for big games voted for Donald Trump
for president. Like you may not like it, but every
time I walk into a college football stadium, I look
around me and I say, Donald Trump won this football stadium. Right,
It's important to know what your audience is. And when
you have employees that are saying that Donald Trump is

(01:19:46):
a is a white supremacist and everybody who voted for
Donald Trump is a white supremacist too, that ain't good
for your business because that alienates a large segment of
that population. And to me, sports is where people have
gone to escape from politics. But if you are going
to allow employees to go aggressively political, then to me,
you have to allow employees in both directions to go

(01:20:09):
aggressively political. And so you can't fire Kurt Schilling for
saying that he doesn't agree with the transgender bathroom law
in North Carolina and allow Jamal Hill to go out
and say that all of Donald Trump's supporters are white
supremacists and so are most of the people that work
in his cabinet. Like that is beyond the pale to me.
And so if you're gonna punish one side of the

(01:20:29):
equation for their political beliefs, you have to punish the
other side too. We're gonna continue to take your calls

we have got a wild week in the NFL. The
best three quarterbacks according to q b R Alex Smith,

(01:21:11):
Sam Bradford and Jared Goff. You would have become a
billionaire if you had picked those three in that order
to be the most successful quarterbacks in Week one of
the NFL. And that is, in fact, who were the
most successful quarterbacks in Week one of the NFL. If
you're just waking up every single Tuesday during the NFL season,
we do top five, bottom five. Uh, my top five

(01:21:32):
teams right now in the NFL after one week the
Chiefs won, the Raiders to the Cowboys, three Packers for
Eagles five my bottom five. The list of sadness Texans, forty, Niners, Bengals, Jets,
and Colts. Where you're reacting to the internet coming undone.
Last night, a woman called a Monday night football game,
oh my god, the glass ceiling is shattered forever. Uh.

(01:21:52):
And ESPN put a guy on the sideline who did
a report that was about worse than anything that I've
ever seen on his sideline report. Uh and and just
patently absurd. He since now apologize somehow tying in nine
eleven uh and everything else into the apology. It makes
no sense. But we also had Ted Cruise accidentally liking

(01:22:14):
a porn tweet during Monday night football, which is maybe
the most likable thing Ted Cruise has ever done. And
we had one of the ESPN's top employees saying that
Donald Trump is a white supremacist and everybody who voted
for him is a white supremacist too. We are opening
up the phone lines eight seven seven six three six nine.
We're gonna play you that Sergio dip audio if you

(01:22:36):
haven't heard it yet as you wake up across the
country right now. But first go around the horn. Is
dot Is Ted Cruise liking that porn uh? Porn tweet
make him more likable to you? Yes? Or no? Uh?
Let's start with Jason Martin. I was a big Ted
Cruise fan. I honestly you're the only big Ted Cruise fan.

(01:22:56):
And I'm the only one of what in the world
or just of the five of us, I'm so certain,
well there's more than one in the world. I'm sure
his wife is a fan. But I think I'm betting
that you're the only one who's a big Ted Cruise
fan of the show. But but are you more of
a fan of him? Having now seen that he liked
like if I were him, if Ted Cruz had tweeted

(01:23:17):
after he accidental like, look, I mean, here here's the reality.
Ted Cruz, Senator from Texas. If you're not familiar for
with him, he ran for president. Internet exploded last night
when he accidentally accidentally liked a liked to porn tweet
right it stayed up on his website. He's got like
seven million followers whatever it is, um and uh and
a ton of you tweeted it to me too. I

(01:23:39):
think if if Ted Cruz had just tweeted after that,
uh yeah, Comma, I like porn, my bad, like, it
would have been like probably the most likable thing that
he's ever done. Because I guarantee you, guarantee you, right now,
every single guy who was listening to this show right
now and has a smartphone and is under the age

(01:24:01):
of forty five years old has looked at porn on
his phone. And if you're if if you're riding in
a car right now with your wife and your wife's
like looking at you, like honey, if you've done that,
and your husband is saying no, he's lying to you,
all right. He is lying to you through right down
through the like just blatantly lying to you. I believe
that every man who is between the ages of fourteen

(01:24:24):
and forty five and has a smartphone has looked at
porn on that smartphone, every single one of them. Jason Martin,
let's go around the horn. Do you agree with me
on that? So if if Ted Cruz just owned it
and was like oops, uh yeah, even senators like porn
like it would make me like him so much more.
I think you just come out like I'm a guy

(01:24:45):
who who says exactly what he thinks right, and brutal
honesty actually doesn't make people dislike you, because most people
are liars and most people are trying to avoid telling
the truth all day long, such that when you actually
see brutal well honesty, you respond well to it. I
have looked at porn a lot on my cell phone.
I'm raising my hand testifying if I ever accidentally tweet

(01:25:08):
out a link to porn instead of a link to
one of my articles about sports, it's probably gonna be
because there was a porn video open in the background
on my phone and I clicked the wrong link. In fact,
if you were setting odds on somebody who might do that,
I'd probably be pretty high on the list. I look
at porn. I like porn, not like all day porn
or something. I'm not a sick oh, but like Jason

(01:25:29):
Martin who watches porn for twenty two hours a day.
But for everybody else out there, Like, I think that
every every guy under the age of forty five has
looked at porn on his phone, so I think you
should have just done that. L A. Do you agree
with me? This actually makes Ted Cruz more likable. Yeah, definitely.
And Clay, I never thought that I'd be playing this
drop for Ted Cruz hashtag future laker. But all he

(01:25:51):
needs is the goggles. Clay, remember when this happened to
Kurt Rambis. Yes, that's right, that's exactly. Although Kurt Rambis
came out later and said he was hot. So as
long as Ted Cruise doesn't deny this and say he
was hacked, and I'm all good with him. Now. There
are a lot to be fair to Ted Cruz. There
are a lot of I'm sure interns and you know,
like staff who have access to his phone. I can't

(01:26:14):
imagine that very many people who work in Ted cruises
Washington d C Office on their private accounts want to
like porn so in and of itself like this to me, this,
to me is just so funny that it happens during
Monday night football that everybody reacts to it. Um and uh,
And I would just own it. I'd just be like, look, yes,
I'm a senator, but occasionally I look at porn and

(01:26:37):
uh and and I find it enjoyable. Like every guy
out there would be like, yeah, that's true. And again,
if you were married to a man and he is
forty five or under and he denies ever looking at
porn on his iPhone or his smartphone, I think you
need to divorce him because he's lying about a lot
more than that. Right, that's the truth. All right, Uh,

(01:26:58):
let's uh, we got loaded lines eight, seven and seven nine.
We'll go to some of your calls were also reacting.
We're covering a large scope here, but first let's play
that Sergio Dip call. This happened last night, Monday night football.
Some of you may have been in bed. You're just
waking up. This is the greatest sideline report in the
history of mankind. This is Sergio Dip. That's his real name,

(01:27:20):
Sergio Dip, speaking of porn stars. That'd be a hell
of a name for the Elevate eleven name for a
porn star. Sergio, just the tip right here with a
great sideline report. Beth Coach, it's a pleasure to be
with you guys here on the field. From up close,
just watching coach fence Joseph from here. You watch him

(01:27:42):
now on the screen. This diversity in his background is
helping him a lot tonight quarterback to Colorado defensive back
in the NFL. And here he is having the time
of his life this night making his head coach ting tabio.
We need to mix this up with the uh dirty dancing.
I'm having the time of my life and just like

(01:28:03):
mix it up into a whole jazzy rendition there um.
But like in general, this Jared Newton sends me a
tweet and he says, and this is a great example,
why can't we just go back to hiring the best
and most qualified people for the job, no matter their race, gender,
et cetera, like we used to. This guy got the
job because he's a twenty nine year old Hispanic dude,

(01:28:25):
and ESPN is going over the top. This guy wasn't
obviously wasn't prepared or ready to be on the sideline
for this game. You can't tell me that he is
the most qualified person employed at ESPN to have been
on the sideline for one of their two Monday night
football games. Literally one of the two biggest assignments that
they have throughout the whole year. I also don't think

(01:28:46):
that Rex Ryan and Beth Mowens are the second best
announced team that ESPN could have put into this broadcast.
They did this along with Sergio dipp to try to
waive the diversity flag and be like, look how inclusive
we are, and then you end up with a guy
on the sideline who's clearly not prepared to do that
report like he just wasn't ready. That was bad, and
I don't put it on him. I put it on

(01:29:08):
ESPN for over promoting him so that when they actually
put him on the big stage, he fell flat on
his face and embarrassed himself. That's not his fault for saying,
y'all do it. It's ESPN's fault for drastically over over
uh promoting somebody who wasn't ready for that gig. I
don't listen to a lot of broadcasters. I'm gonna be
honest with you. Like I flip around so many different

(01:29:29):
games last night, I had the game on mute while
I was working. That's usually what I do. I can
look up and pay attention to the game. I don't
need a broadcaster to tell me what's going on. In
the game, there's a constant scoreboard on the screen. I
can tell who has the ball. I can see the
down in difference, down in distance. I can see all
of that with ease. But that's kind of the perspective
in general. That's where we are now. We're also taking

(01:29:52):
calls because also during Monday night football. This is crazy. Uh.
Jamal Hill, who works at ESPN dot com, tweeted all
of these things. Donald Trump is a bigot. Glad you
could live with voting for him. I couldn't because I
cared about more than just myself. Trump is unqualified and
unfit to be president. He's not a leader, and if
he were not white, he never would have been elected.

(01:30:15):
Trump is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime.
His rise as a direct result of white supremacy period.
And Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely
surrounded himself with other white supremacists. That is, all of
that stuff so much worse than what ESPN fired Kurt

(01:30:35):
Schilling for, so much worse than what ESPN has forced
out a ton of conservative employees for saying. And so
to me, this is a real kind of crucible moment
for ESPN is it true that you can say whatever
you want as long as you were liberal and work
at ESPN. The answer seems to be yes. And we're

(01:30:56):
taking calls on a variety of different subjects, but open
phone lines right now eight seven seven six three six nine. Um,
who are we going to? Jason Martin? That's up to you,
Um Clay in Houston? Maybe? Uh sure? Eric? Wait? Oh?
Eric and Calum do you want to go to Eric
and Kalamazoo? He would like to talk, Okay, Eric and Kalamazoo.

(01:31:21):
Good morning, Eric? How are you man about? Not too good?
Got fast in the show that couldn't call me in?
And I just said, Eric, every time you call in,
you just say everybody's racist. So like, we got tired
of you just calling in being like, hey, everybody's racist. Wow,
that's what I really every day you call in, every

(01:31:42):
time you call in, you're like, oh, so racist. Let
me speak for myself. M de laye. I got a
lawyer to notre dame. You don't speak to me, Clay,
And that's not the truth. But I had a problem
with you. Now, listen in the broadcasters. To get real radio,
you need to listen to broadcasting, and you might be
a little more entertaining, you seem I'll talk a little
body to make up a point. Your co workers that

(01:32:03):
pointed out that percentage of the Vegas polis that had
the law suits, my brother got the raft in Vegas
and living in Vegas. I could give you a real
life story about that. But man, listen to yourself all
this time, I've been listening to this. Soho, Man, you're
on the other side like that. That's why you get
offended when somebody point out that it was racism anything.

(01:32:24):
How racist you think? Hey, hey, Eric, how racist do
you think I am? Like, let's from Harvard University. I
just from Jordan watching them or something, so we both
from d C. But I'm too different side of the sense.
My question to you, do you have any friends from
all with any lawyer plans? And then these black people
that work on Fox Radio. No, because when they hired me,

(01:32:46):
I said, I'll only come work at Fox if you
fire every black person first. And what about Harvard though?
Have you been up there hanging to Howard University? Yeah?
I've been everywhere in d C Niversity. Yeah, I've been, literally,
I have been everywhere I went to college in d C.
I've covered everywhere oft D. I did a radio in DC,

(01:33:07):
though I did a wpmw A did that point through
them public radio, and I got a background with broadcast
and got my FCC rights in DC. And what I
was listening to you? Man, Hey, you just what to do? Okay,
background is good, but you should be a little more
entertaining and it kind of study the art form of
broadcast and uh not listening to broadcasters. What do you

(01:33:29):
do for a living, Erica, what do you do for
a living? You're a barber, right man? I got a
whole ba the titles I got. But like, if you
were really good at radio, don't you think you'd make
a living in radio broadcasting? Yeah? So I'm saying like
you would agree that if you were really good at
radio that you'd probably do that instead of be a barber. No,

(01:33:51):
what do you think? What? So? What do you think happened?
You think that racism kept you from being a radio guy.
I'm not on the radio. Well, you're on the radio
right now with me. The reason do you think? Hey,
do you think that white that Donald Trump's a white supremacist?
The radio? I'm the best of the business too, I'm
not that's why I'm made to sit and listen to
you and pointing out holes in your program? Yeah, I
appreciate that. Do you think that Donald Trump is a

(01:34:13):
white supremacist? Now gonna let you answer that, but I'm
already you the one who called it. Eric. You called
in with me to give me an opinion. I'm asking
you a question. Do you think Donald Trump's a white supremacist?
What is the Senate question? I want to go somewhere
else with this. I want to talk about everything but that,
because you keep running me back to your favorite senter.

(01:34:33):
Why are you so sore about somebody playing out something
that's obvious? So you do think he's a white supremacist? No,
I'm Mr Laryer. You won't get me to say that.
My lays, one of the names said, don't say nothing
to you incriminated. I'm not letting your satiate my character
talked about every time I called, I talked about racist stuff,
it is you. Every time we gotta we gotta drop Eric,

(01:34:54):
I gotta drop Eric. Look. Eric is a barbera in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
He believes every single thing that has ever happened in
the history of the universe is racist. For a while
that was entertaining, Like he's gonna call in and he's
gonna say everything is racist. Donald Trump's a white supremacist,
America's racist, everybody's angry. The reason he doesn't have a
radio show and works as a barber is because of racism.

(01:35:15):
I find that to be kind of unsupportable. There are
a lot of people who work in radio that are black,
that are talented, that make a lot of money doing radio,
not a lot of people I know who are Like,
you know, I was thinking about making millions of dollars
doing radio, but instead I moved to Kalamazoo and open
to barbershop. Like that's a choice of you made. That
ain't racism, Bud. Let's go to Clay in Houston. Great name,

(01:35:39):
great city. Let's go to Clay. What's up man, what's
going on clay? Hey? First off, Eric, Uh, I like
that he has a lot of titles, like some of
these preachers that are doctors and uh seven other things
as well. It's pretty cool. But uh, I do want
to talk about jamal Man and I got a little
personal story to go along with it. But but I mean,

(01:36:01):
it is just insane how being liberal not just not
just in broadcasting or porter, but you can you can
literally get away of saying anything. Yeah, and look, I
mean people who are people who are just tuning in
right now. I mean, there's a difference between being liberal
and saying Donald Trump is a bigot. Uh. If he
were not white, he would have never been elected. Trump

(01:36:23):
is the most ignorant, offensive president. His rise as a
direct result of white supremacy. And Donald Trump is a
white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself with other white supremacists.
If you put that in the liberal context, that's the
equivalent of saying that that Barack Obama is not born
in America. It's certainly the equivalent of saying Barack Obama
is a Muslim, and certainly the equivalent directly of saying

(01:36:46):
Donald that Barack Obama would not have gotten elected president
if he were not black. If any of those three
things are said, ESPN fires every employee who says them immediately.
Is there anybody out there they would even dispute that? No, absolutely,
And I of how I have to say that, I
do love how off the rocker. All these people are
gone at ESPN, and I'm MSCFPN, MSN NBC. I mean CNN,

(01:37:12):
they're going nuts. I drink liberal tears and I enjoyed
as much as a as a as a as a
happy neat. So it's it's incredible. But um, but I'll
tell you real quick, I was at the gym yesterday,
and it's funny how you brought to pedophile comments because
I was at the gym yesterday. A guy I respect,
he's actually a lawyer. Um, we work out in the mornings.

(01:37:32):
Talked to him, you know, just in passing. I wouldn't
call us friends, but talk quite a bit. Um A
black guy, really good guy. Anyhow, I have a Trump
pent shirt on. We're in walking into the steam. He's
in the steam and he said, he says, Clay, I
didn't know you were a racist, and I kind of
I was stumped. I looked at him, going, come on,

(01:37:53):
I said, Troy, I said, what do you mean a racist?
He goes, Man, you vote for Trump. I didn't know
you were a racist. And I and I and I
that there and I looked down and said, Troy, I
didn't know that you were a child molester. And you
looked at me and I could see him just building
with rage. And he said and he literally just looked
at me and he said, s you. And I said, now, man,
I did not know that you liked to a list

(01:38:15):
little boys and and and he just got I rate
and I said, I said, okay, Troy, and I called
down for saying you see how ridiculous that statement was.
I said, you can't just call people racist. So so
I'm a racist because I believe in smaller government. I mean,
come on, long, buddy, So it's I think. I love
that analogy. I love that analogy. And I tweeted and

(01:38:38):
thanks for the call to Clay. We gotta take a
break here. But I said the exact same thing, like
if you're going to call somebody a racist or a
white supremacist, it should be the same way that you
should have that evidence if you're going to call somebody
a pedophile or a child molester. And frankly, the people
who used the word racism all the time, like our
guy Eric and Kalamazoo, they killed the use of the

(01:38:59):
word racist because every literally everything is racist now, so
it doesn't have any power, Like I just go ahead
and say yeah, I'm racist, Like just let's just move
on it. Such a stupid question, such a stupid thing
to say. It's like calling somebody a loser. Oh, you're
a loser. Like it has almost zero impact. And to me,

(01:39:21):
what should happen with the use of the term like
white supremacist or racist is you should only be able
to use it if you're very confident, Like there's nobody
out there today who's gonna walk around and be like, man,
that guy is a child molester, that guy is a pedophile.
You're not gonna say that because that charge has such
power that if you brand somebody a child molester or

(01:39:44):
a pedophile, you have to have really strong evidence that
it exists in order to be able to use that
signifier to describe somebody else, right, Like, you better have
been charged with a crime of child molestation or pedophilia
in some way for me to brand you legitimately as
a child molester. Right because it's such charged the language

(01:40:06):
it used to be like that with racism. Now everything
is so racist and everything is so arguably white supremacist.
Those phrases are so overused that people just brush them off.
It's like calling somebody a loser should be if you
have a reasonable brain, But man, I can't believe we're
still taking to your calls eight seven seven three six nine.

(01:40:29):
Continue to take your calls. Can also reach out on Twitter.
I'm at Clay Travis. We will continue to roll through
the Tuesday edition About Kicked the coverage here on Fox
Sports Radio. We gotta play it again. Here we go,
guys setting the scene if you're just waking up across
the country. Broncos Chargers, incredible scene. They're at Mile High

(01:40:55):
Stadium or whatever they call it. Now and we go live.
We got Beth Mowens just shattering the glass ceiling. Everywhere
people have been saying when will a woman call a
Monday night football game? I remember it back when JFK
was like, when are we gonna put a man on
the moon. A lot of people don't remember that. The
second part of that sentence was, and when will a

(01:41:17):
woman call Monday night football? To shatter the glass ceiling
once and for all and for fifty some odd years,
sixty years, whatever it is. We put a man on
the moon, but we can't get a woman to call
a football game on Monday night football. All of you
out there were like, when will this horrible tragedy end?
When will ESPN save us? When will we be able

(01:41:39):
to have a woman call a Monday night football game
and the full fruition of Dr Martin Luther King's dream
can have become realized. Well, last night was your answer
Beth Mowens alongside foot fetishist Rex Ryan. Hopefully she had
her feet covered during that broadcast end they decided ESPN

(01:42:01):
was like, you know what, it's not enough to have
a woman calling the Monday night football game and shattering
through the glass ceiling, finally fulfilling Dr Martin Luther King
John F. Kennedy's dreams back in the nineteen sixties when
they were like, and I believe one day we'll have
a woman called Monday night football game, and we kept
awaiting a long time for it. It finally happened. And

(01:42:23):
they also decided, you know what, let's put a guy
on the sideline who's never done a sideline game before.
And you're like, well, what are his qualifications? And ESPNS
response was, well, he's bilingual and he's Hispanic, and so
therefore that's perfect because all that matters today is diversity,
not talent. And so we went live to the sideline

(01:42:45):
and this man brought it home with the greatest damn
sideline report that has ever existed in the history of
sports television. Here it was Beth coach. It's a pleasure
to be with you guys here on the field from
up close, just watching coach Bence Joseph from here. You
watch him now on the screen. This diversity in his

(01:43:08):
background is helping him a lot tonight. Quarterback at Colorado,
defensive back in the NFL, and here he is having
the time of his life this night, making his head
coach in Tabut. Oh my god, I feel like there's
a lot of you just like rolling your like you're
you're if you're driving into work, you're like literally, if
you performed this badly at your job, you'd all be

(01:43:30):
fired right now, and you might as well go turn around,
drive back home, get back into bed, go back to sleep.
No point going into work today. If you're gonna have
a job like our guy what's his name, Sergio dip
did today, you're all gonna get fired on the spot.
This would be like a garbage man just taking his
garbage truck and just backing it right into a house
and keep going all the way through the house and
then keep going down the street and just keep going.

(01:43:54):
It's like the mailman showing up with the mail and
then just getting all his buckets of mail and just
riding along in the back, just tossing the mail out
in the street. That's the equivalent of what Sergio dip did.
Wasn't ready for that moment. It wasn't ready for that time.
You know who's always ready for that moment in that time,
it's me, And I'm always ready for that moment in
that time trying to keep my wife from hating me.

(01:44:16):
Odds are if you're married, you're trying to keep your
wife from hating you too, And sometimes you fail and
your wife hates you, and you know what you can do.
You can do what Kobe Bryant did. You can buy
her things and help her not hate you as much
as she did beforehand. Whether it's flowers, whether it is
diamond rings. How about a brand new mattress. Get a
brand new mattress right now, you cheap skates. You've been

(01:44:38):
talking about doing it for a long time. Your wife's
been saying, Hey, we've had this mattress for a decade.
It's old, it's creaky, it's not fun to sleep on.
I'm not even gonna sleep on you with it and
you've been trying to save money. You've been saying, oh,
we'll go check it out. We'll go check out new mattresses.
And instead of going to check out new mattresses, do
you know what you did? You set and drink beer
and watch football all weekend, didn't you. I know it.

(01:44:59):
I can see right into your house. You promised your
wife you were gonna get her a new mattress and
you didn't do it. Well, how about its Tuesday and
you make a smart move and try to score some
points with your wife and get a new mattress delivered

smart play. Your wife's been demanding a brand new mattress

(01:45:43):
for a long time and you haven't been doing it.
You haven't gone out and shopped with her. Instead of
doing that, you drink beer and you watched football. I
know it. That's what you did this past Saturday and Sunday.
That's what you did Monday night. You drink beer and
you watched football. Instead of taking care of your wife
and buy earn her a new mattress, take care of
her right now. Go to Casper dot um c a
spr dot com, fifty dollars off with the code out kick,

(01:46:04):
and when your mattress arrives, you can say, Hey, you

him in the car all the time? Why does the
alarm go off in the first voice I hear every
morning is Clay Travis. Well, he finally took care of you, babe.
He got me to get you a new mattress. And
now you can tell that I'm a perfect husband. So
I want you to remember this the next time you

(01:46:25):
get mad at me. I mean, not be perfect, but
I got you a new mattress Casper dot com, c
a spr dot com and fifty dollars off without kick.
Let's bring in Eddie Garcia. Eddie Garcia, you drank beer
when you were supposed to be buying your wife a
mattress too, didn't you. Maybe. Yeah, A lot of people
out there right now I hit up really close to home,
they know that's true. Well, I'm very lucky my wife

(01:46:45):
like sports. I don't have to do anything to make
up for her watching sports or I'm watching. But you
do have to make up for the fact that you've
been promising her a new mattress for a long time.
Stop being a loser, get a mattress. Point taken. Week
one of the NFL came to a close with a
Monday night football doubleheader last night. The closer game was
the second game that was in Denver, where the Broncos
held off the Charges one victory. Denver had a seventeen

(01:47:06):
point leading the second half, but the Chargers game all
the way back and nearly sent it into overtime. They
had a forty four yard field goal attempt to tie
it up with four seconds left, with the Broncos blocked
it and held on for the victory. Vikings beat the
Saints in the earlier game twenty nine and nineteen. Big
game for Sam Bradford in Minnesota, three or forty six
starts passing and three touchdowns. Not a big game for

(01:47:27):
former Vikings running back Adrian Peterson now with the Saints.
He had six carries for eighteen yards. And Clay we
don't want to forget about baseball. We had the Giants
meeting the Dodgers last night, actually earlier this morning. Eight
six was the final. They had a three plus hour
rain delayed the game added at two eleven a m.
Pacific time. At eleven straight losses now for the Dodgers,
they've also dropped sixteen of seventeen. Meanwhile, the Indians can't lose.

(01:47:49):
They shut off the Tigers eleven and nothing. That's nineteen
wins in a row for Cleveland. They're one away from
tying the American League record for consecutive victories, and their
magic number to win the Ale Central is down to six.
Good stuff there. I don't think that I think it's
fair to say the Indians are never gonna lose again
and the Dodgers are never gonna win again. That's the
only result that I can get from this at all.

(01:48:11):
With truecard. By the way, you can find out what
other people in your area paid for the same car
you're looking for and on average save over three grand
off M s r P. Whether you're looking for a
newer use car, visit Truecard who enjoy a more confident
car buying experience, And of course, as always were alive
from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studio, where it's easy
to say or more on car insurance with Geico, go
to Geico dot com or call eight hundred nine four

(01:48:33):
seven Auto. The only hard part figuring out which way
is easier? All right? Who should we go to? Jason
Martin Joe and Scranton, Pennsylvania. Joe and Scranton, home of
dunder Mifflin. What's up Joe? Hey? How you doing with claim? Hey?
Good talking to you. My first time calling in. Just
sorry to sign out about the show and I relocate
here a few months ago. Uh, I can talk to
you about the whole Jamal Hill instant last night, And

(01:48:55):
you're right, it's this is this country has become. You know,
you can voice your opinion till it's something that someone
doesn't like. And I wish while he was doing that.
One of the another announcements was says, hey, Mittell, you
do realize that some minorities did vote for Trump. You know,
was like, those people are really racist. By the way,
we might have to wait, it's a good point, like
ten percent of black people voted for Donald Trump and

(01:49:18):
something like thirty of Hispanic people super racist. Also a
decent percentage of Asian people. All those people are really racist.
I mean they it's a big surprise that they would
be white supremacist. I'm not an expert, but I'm guessing
that most Asian, Hispanic and Black people are not white supremacist.
Not an expert again on all racial dynamics, but I'm
thinking you're probably making a good point there, Joe and Scranton,

(01:49:38):
that it's unlikely that black, Asian and Hispanic Donald Trump
voters are white supremacists exactly. And that's you know, that's
that's the shame of it all. And like you said,
you know, there's been people fired for far less of
their comments. But when someone comes along and you know,
puts down yeah again, listen, um. You know, I'm not
a big political person and I really don't care one
way about Trump or the Democrats a little bit, but

(01:50:00):
I see that people have that opinion. You know, you
you can you could Trump bash, you can Republican bash
and now you can white bash and nothing said about it,
and it bothers me a lot, and just it's crazy
what this country has turned into. I agree with you.
I think it's insane. I think the rules should be
I got a crazy idea for you. The rules should
be applied evenly to everybody. It's a crazy idea. I

(01:50:23):
know what today's society. Because everybody's like, well, I should
get diversity points. Well, I'm a gay, transgender lesbian. How
in the world do you want to treat me the
same as a white guy. Well, I mean I do, honestly.
If you do dumb things, I'm gonna rip you, even
if you are a gay, transgender lesbian. I'm sorry. Like,
I don't think you should get to play starting quarterback
in the NFL because you're a gay, transgender lesbian. Although yes,

(01:50:46):
Piano probably decided to give them let him call a
game soon. I gotta keep breaking those glass ceilings. Everybody
out there was like, you know what, I don't know
if American can fulfill itself as a free country until
we have a woman called Monday Night football game. Kevin
in Indianapolis so great that he has me and broke
through that gas glass ceiling and a long time we've
been hoping for it. That JFK, Martin, Luther King. They said,
it's good to go to the moon, but the real

(01:51:08):
thing we need to have is a woman called Monday
night football game, Kevin, Indianapolis. What's up, hey, Glad. I'm
glad to see you be and humble in us. Taking
Eric's advice and replaying that Sergio get audio over and
over again, taking note song kind of be more entertaining.
You know what. That's important because Eric and Kalamazoo called
in and he said, you know what, Like, I'm a
barber now in Kalamazoo, but without racism, I would have
been the greatest radio show host of all time. And

(01:51:29):
clearly I got this job because I'm a white guy.
So I think it's important for me to learn from awfully,
awfully trained, overpromoted guys at ESPN who should have never
been on the sideline. So I try to learn from everybody. Well,
if you don't want to, apparently you're you're a supremacist.
But anyways, um, I wanted to point out the thing
that drives me most nuts is that people think they're
so bad at discourse that they take this intellectual and

(01:51:51):
moral high ground and they automatically ensued the worst about
whoever they're debating. Was like, for example, the other day,
I was actually feuding on Twitter with Scott van Pellum
about a lot of ESPN and everything going on there,
and he kept going back and forth with me about
you know how, it's not political, it's not this, it's
not that. And then he was like, you know, what
have the ESPN done against anybody on the right besides

(01:52:12):
Curt Schilling and Britt McKinley. Britt McKinley, And I was like, well,
how about Doug Adler or Hank Williams or Andrea. Doug
Adler is a great example, like Jamal Hill, I'm glad
you brought up Doug Adler, our buddy who who I met,
only because the ESPN fired it because he used the
term guerrilla effect during a match, Like think about ESPN
standard here they fired a guy like and I appreciate

(01:52:33):
the calling, by the way, Scott van Pelt's buddy mind,
he's a good dude, Like there are lots of good
people at ESPN. Uh that frankly don't like the direction
that ESPN is going how do you think I break
all the news stories about ESPN that I do because
there's lots of people at ESPN that think that they
are a careeming ship that's out of control. Uh. But
think about that, Doug Adler. Do we still have that
audio somewhere? Do we still have the Doug Adler Guerrilla

(01:52:56):
Affect audio somewhere in studio? Is it's saved on a
computer somewhere? Because I think that would be an interesting
to play. Um. Doug Adler gets fired because he says
the term guerrilla effect during a Venus Williams tennis match
that's airing on ESPN three that hardly anybody watches because
they're like, oh, this guy's racist. Jamal Hill. Yeah, okay,
listen to this. Listen to this audio. If you missed it,

(01:53:17):
ESPN fired this guy, Doug Gather. He worked for them
for a decade, never did anything wrong called tennis matches.
He was totally within his rights the entire time that
he worked there. Listen to this audio. She misses the
first serve in Venus is all over her. She Venus
move in and put the guerrilla effect on. Alright, So

(01:53:45):
he's talking about guerrilla as in guerilla warfare. He happens
to be calling a Venus Williams match. Everybody loses their
mind online and ESPN fires him. He since has been
unable to be employed. He's suing ESPN. Jamal Hill says
Donald Trump is a bigot uh and if he were
not white, he never would have been elected. And Trump
is a Trump's rise is a direct result of white

(01:54:08):
supremacy period, and Donald Trump is a white supremacist who
has largely surrounded himself with other white supremacists. They fire
the guy who's calling the match for using the phrase
guerilla effect. Jamal Hill has Cardon Blanche to say whatever
she wants about Donald Trump and his supporters? How is
that in any way remotely fair? Just using those as
an easy example, they fire the guy who uses the

(01:54:30):
phrase guerrilla effect. By the way, guerilla warfare, you ignoramus
is it isn't gerrilla the animal. You don't say guerrilla
affect to describe an animal. You just say he charged
the net like a gorilla. We don't need the word effect.
Guerilla effect is used in the context of warfare. Which
of those two things is more offensive? Is there anybody

(01:54:53):
out there who'd be like the phrase guerilla affair, which
do you think offends more people? There's no way on
earth that Doug Adler offended anybody with the fun tional
brain Jamal Hill. She basically called half of Donald Trump,
half the people in the country, white supremacist. That seems
like a bad strategy for a company. I'm not an expert.
Seems like a bad strategy. I gotta tell you, you
already know how much I love Dollar Rate, Dollar Shave clubs, Razors,

(01:55:15):
but did you know they offer so much more. They
make their own high quality personal and grooming products for
your hair, face, skin, shower, everything. Dollar Shape Club has
all your bathroom needs delivered. When you're at the store
shopping for your personal and grooming needs, there are too
many options. Who could tell them apart not me? If
you have any questions, forget about. It's not like the
clerks or experts now, no need for the hassle of
stepping in the store. I use Dollar Shave Club for

(01:55:37):
almost everything, Razors, body cleanser, hair gel, even butt wipes.
I really do. My butt is so clean thanks to
Dollar Shape Club. My wife the other day she was like,
how is your butt so clean, I said, because I
got butt wipes from Dollar Shape Club. They've got you
covered head to toe everything super high quality leaves me
looking and feeling amazing, from premium ingredients to sophisticated Since
Dollar Shaped Clubs change in the game. Don't want to

(01:55:59):
throw my wife under the bus here, but I smell
better than her thanks to these butt wipes. She spends
a lot of money on perfume. These butt wipes, I
smell like a daffodil. It's incredible, and right now you
can try it all. You can get their first month
starter set for just five dollars. It includes travel size shape.
But are usually women smell better than men? It's true,
but with these butt wipes, not even close anymore. Men
now better swimming, better smelling than women. Body cleans are

(01:56:21):
butt wipes and a month of their best razor after that,
replacement cartridges ship for just a few bucks a month.
Don't miss out get your starter shet for starter set.
Starter set, I said, set for just five dollars today
exclusively at dollars Shave club dot com slash out Kick.
That's dollars shaved Club dot com slash out Kick. Final

(01:56:42):
segment of the show up next, By the way, I
do smell amazing. What does it mean when Geico says
just fifteen minutes could save you fifteen per cent or
more on car insurance? It means you probably should have
gone to Geico dot com fifteen minutes ago. Hate the brag.
It's probably the best butt wife ad that Dollar Shavee
Club has ever done. There's no doubt like they're they're
gonna sell like a billion dollars and butt wipes after

(01:57:03):
that ad. Men are gonna start spelling better than women.
It's gonna be a real hit to the women. I
don't know what's gonna happen. Perfume industries in trouble. Dollar
shape called butt wipes just killing the game here, just
telling you, Charlie's are game changers, telling you right now,
changing things forever. Men now are gonna start smelling better
than women. I don't know what's gonna happen. Woman calls
him Monday night football game. All right, kind of an

(01:57:25):
impressive thing. Men smelling better than women? Checkmate? Checkmate? Men
win again? A gay the game bet Beth Mowins like
slides the rook down. She's like, hey bang. Women just
called them Monday Night football game. And then I just
went all the way with my pawn. Give me another
queen boom? Checkmate. Guess what, Men now smell better than women?

(01:57:49):
What now? Take it left? What's left for men to do? Clay,
now that their asses smell like peppermint? I don't know
we smell better than women now, I don't know what.
I don't know how women respond to this. I'm gonna
be honest with you. Carl up in the fetal position,
start crying. They thought Monday night football was a big
win for them. Now men are smelling bed smelling better
than women. I don't know how they handle it. And
maybe the answer is men can't do sideline reports anymore.

(01:58:10):
Maybe women have taken back sideline reporting after this, all
male sideline reporters may be fired. After our boy Sergio
dip Sergio just the tip he was on the sideline
here and uh, this did not go well. If you're
just waking up, no matter how bad your day at
work goes, probably won't go this bead Beth coach, it's
a pleasure to be with you guys here on the
field from up close, just watching coach Bence Joseph from here,

(01:58:35):
you watch him now on the screen. This diversity in
his background is helping him a lot tonight quarterback at Colorado,
defensive back in the NFL, and here he is having
the time of his life this night, making his head
coach in debut. I cannot wait till this is mixed
with dirty dancing. The internet is fast. Somebody is gonna

(01:58:57):
mix the time of life comment. He's a big dirty
dancing fan. Um. Nobody puts Baby in the corner. Nobody
puts Sergio just the tip in the corner. Nobody does it. Um.
And that nickname obviously in honor of Chris Berman, who
would have otherwise been calling this game. Uh, several things
we've been hitting on today, obviously NFL Week two in
the books, Uh, Jamal Hill, Donald Trump is a bigot.

(01:59:18):
Glad you could live with voting for him. I couldn't
because I cared about more than just myself. Trump is
If you voted for him, which probably a ton of
you driving in this morning, did you're awful? You should
know that if Donald Trump were not white, he never
would have been elected. That's according to Jamal Hill. Trump
is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His
rise as a direct result of white supremacy period, and

(01:59:39):
Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded
himself with other white supremacist that's ESPN. But they're not
politically biased. That's how they respond every time I say
you know what, I think you guys lean a little
bit left. They're always like, no, we don't. That's just
Clay Travis lying to everybody. That's just Clay Travis not
telling the truth. Who do you think tells the truth
more me or ESPN? I think it's probably me, not

(02:00:03):
an expert, pretty pretty sure that it's probably me who's
not lying as much as ESPN. We'll be back tomorrow
unpacking all the news of the day. My top five
bottom five for you in the NFL as you roll
out Chiefs, Raiders, Cowboys, Packers, Eagles. The top five on
out kick the bottom five you poor bastards Texans, Forty, Niners, Bengals, Jets,
