Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
And let's go stick a genius's boy. Let's go on
a Sunday night into a Monday morning. We've got Week
fourteen of the NFL season to recap. We got a
great game that's ongoing as we speak. The Chargers have
just retaken a lead, as you heard Steve de Segre
tell you, seventeen sixteen Los Angeles with four thirty five
(00:25):
to go in the game. We've got college football playoff
action ready. Let's roll, but Arnie, as we come to
you live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyrack dot
com will help you get there at unmatched the selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Tyreck dot com the way tire buying should
be Wan Soto. Hey, now that for your Mets.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Wow, that isn't can what it was like about a
half hour a go, this story broke and I saw
it coming across on Twitter, and I wanted to make
sure I wasn't getting duped. And I had to wait
till like there was four other reports that had it
done fifteen years set what at seven hundred and sixty
five million Earth? What the SA said, that's a lot
of money. Look, I like having him on the team
(01:09):
that let's not lie about that. But there's no way
he's worth that type of money even if he hits
what forty home runs one hundred and twenty RBIs one
hundred and twenty five RBIs and Bat's two ninety. Is
that worth fifty million in one year to a seven
hundred and sixty five million That that's insane. I just
(01:30):
I don't know where the money's coming from. Chris. I
was told that eggs are expensive, and people can't afford stuff,
and millennials can't get homes, and where's all the money
coming from to afford these contracts? I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Rich owners. I mean, is it that hard to understand?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
What?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Are are you okay over there?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I mean, I know you've got Hollywood on your mind,
but you're really confused as to where this money is
coming from. In Major League Baseball right now, it's Steve
co It's he's decided that he's gonna buy everybody, and
I guess there's unlimited funds on that front for Steve Cohen,
and he's he's gonna do it. I mean, I don't
(02:12):
if you're are you how about this? Let me let
me just post this because I don't want to get
bogged down on baseball talk tonight. It's week fourteen in
the ENNA, right, and we got to college football playoffs.
You don't really, right, but and I guess maybe you
could claim your nicks are great because they might win
the playing tournament whatever. But by the way, this deal
has escalators in it that could reach over eight hundred
million dollars. Eight hundred million dollars. Aren't he spani your
(02:35):
from a major league baseball player? Does he make your
team better? Of course he makes the team. Why are
you complaining about it?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I'm just saying, you know, because I was also talking
about this as a referred to college football in the NIL,
like my Arizona Wildcats can never compete against your Oklahoma's
the Michigan's schools like that that they're gonna get billionaires
to fork over the money. How come every team didn't
bid on Juan Soto? Real simple, only three teams can
afford them. That's really the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets. Why could
(03:08):
only three teams afford him?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Everyone could have done it, Everyone could have been on them.
They just wouldn't been able to reach the number that
he wanted, and the Mets would have bid.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Him right well, because they can't afford these other teams,
can't afford what the other three teams can out there.
That's that's my whole point. They just can't bring in
that type of money. It's just impossible. So it's it's
the rich get richer, and the rest of them just
stay the same. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So you don't think if the uh, if the Pittsburgh
Pirates decided they were gonna pull their resources, you don't
think they could come up.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
With an offer near this for Juan Sota. You don't
think they know?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I don't think they have the seven like the A's
do they are they gonna playing?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
To be honest with you, I mean i'd have to
google that up real quick right now.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, I mean, it's seven hundred and sixty five million
even in the roma possibility for so some of these teams.
I don't think so, Chris, I.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Don't know what's happening to you and your old age any.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Wow, I'm getting time with my team, right, I'll just
be happy about.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I'm actually I'm kind of impressed right now. They sign
with your team.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I expect you to be like, take that pores, you
want to complain, make more money. This is a little
different side of the I'm very impressed right now.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
No offense. I'm gonna be like the person that got
a job because my dad hooked me up. I know
I got a favor or no offense, but you know,
I know where the you know favor came from.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
So I go.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
We got Sodery's going to help the team. That's all
that matters. But that's a lot of a lot of money.
I wonder how much that's going to increase ticket prices,
food prices, all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, it's probably not at all.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I mean, how much more expensive can it get at
a New York Mets game right now?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I mean, what all you do?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, I like a hot dog in a beer. It's like,
you got your kid with you, We'll just take your kid.
I mean, it's already expensive enough to go to these games,
right So I.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Already wrote I wrote a tweet to our bosses right
now that I'm going to need time off when the
Knicks win the championship for the parade. Now I'm gonna
need time off in October when the Nets win the
World Series. I need a lot of time off coming up.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
We have three minutes and twenty seconds to go in
the Sunday night football game between the Chiefs and the Chargers.
Chiefs moving the ball down the field. They trail seventeen
to sixteen. So we've seen this story before. Chiefs kick
a field goal with like three seconds left to win
the game, even though they played kind of crappily throughout.
(05:29):
So I don't I mean, is there anything more to
add to this Sunday night football game. Haven't we seen
this before? Don't we know this ends?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
We've seen this before, except for the fact that I
need the Chiefs to win, which means I'll put the
reverse curse on them and they'll end up losing the
game because the Dolphins. As a Dolphins fan, I need
the Chargers to lose. It's still gonna be tough for
my Dophins to get into the playoffs, So I need
the Chargers to lose.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Okay, here's a question.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I mean, I'm being dead serious here, because let's have
a little talk about Roman numeral number eleven.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Which is a great Roman numeral eleven.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, which is a great lesson in stop sending the
rundown early. Stop. That was a mistake. That was I mean,
I beg you on this.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Our show starts at eleven o'clock Eastern, ten o'clock Central time.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
My mind is always moving. I'm writing things down even moments.
So we go in the air.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I sent them four o'clock East.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Four o'clock six seven, seven hours before we go on
the air.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Seven. And you say, I'm done with the Dolphins. I'm
tired of them.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I can't lost to the Jets twenty six, twenty three.
I can't take it anymore.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah, and now you're wanting to stump for them to
get in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, I did text you later and said, disregard what
I wrote on Roman numeral eleven.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Well, can we just come up with an agreement just
to make this deal? Patrick, Yourrott producer, Mary, you run
the show, the producer of the show.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Okay, stop sending the rundown before hours before the show.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I sent that in haste. I was mad before sometimes No,
I was mad because the Dolphins look like they were
gonna lose and the season was gonna be over. I
wrote that it's like when you fight with your wife,
and don't you ever say something that you regret that
you'll never let you forget about it. I might have
said something I regret.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I don't know how, asking you not to send the
rundown early so there's not scratches. And I'm trying to
read through your terrible handwriting already, man to read the
square again.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I crossed that in part the part that I said
I can't take it anymore and that we lost to
the just twenty six twenty three. Disregard that part, and
then I start. I wrote wins it overtime exclamation point,
and then I wrote twenty six percent to make the playoffs,
though that's not true. They only they only have a
thirteen percent yet, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Mike, what are you doing? And also in that do
you really want them to make the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yes, I'm a Dolphin fan. You knuckle ahead, of course.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Though are you gonna win? Are you gonna win?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Are you going to the Super Bowl? Are you going
to the AFC Championship game? Are you gonna win a
playoff game?
Speaker 4 (07:59):
No?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Wait, wait, let me answer that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, yeah you're not, so why don't you just no?
I'm trying to reset your expectations because you have to do yourself.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Because you because there's no quarterback playing better than Tua
in all of the NFL questions.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
They almost lost to the Jets today. Let's go ahead
and high five on that. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers hor Aaron
Rodgers has looked terrible all year, and suddenly everyone's having
elite tweets because your defense is so bad.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
They made him look like a Hall of Famer again.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Today was barely three hundred passing yards by Aaron Rodger.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
You really think that defense?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I mean, the Texans would probably put seventy on you
guys right now.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
So you played up next week?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Why don't you just accept that you're not good. No,
get another defensive end, an edge guy in the draft,
maybe a linebacker, maybe a corner.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
You know what they think about like that? No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
No, you're the You're worse than guys.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
They say, Hey, my team's got to get better because
you're gonna sit here and tell us how great they are.
You're gonna lose in the first round and they're going
to continue to tell us how great they are when
nothing changes.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I need to make the playoffs. I'd rather make the
playoffs then get a high draft pick. It's better to
have loved and lost than to never have loved it.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Yeah, and that.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
You don't say stuff you don't really mean on National
Talk Era.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
It just absolutely cuts him off, right, and that.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
What happened is that they cut me. You that's because
she cuts me off on purpose.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I'm sure that I don't blame you for it's better.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
It's better or you heard.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, I heard that, and then you cut off when
you kept starting. No, you don't feel that way, because
then you're gonna come in that way. No, you don't,
because then you're gonna come in here because if yours Oh,
I just want to get the playoffs. When you lose
the playoffs, you'll be like, well I got a fire mcdan.
You'll look at the chemistry professor over there, and they
got to trade chemistry to chemistry to do right.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You don't think you have a good football team or
a good coach.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I do think we have a good football team, at
least offensively. It's just defensively.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Okay, didn't hold on pull back just a second.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I thought, I don't don't think we have a bad
football team, at least offensively. A team is everybody. Okay,
you don't have a good team. You have a good offense,
you're not good on defense. I don't even know if
you're good at special teams, which are kind of important too.
You have a good offense, So what do you Why
are you doing this to yourself and then to us?
You won thirty two to twenty six over a team
(10:20):
that is now three and ten today, and you have
to scratch and clawed and fight to do it at home.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
We never win games like that anymore. That's the first turning. Baby,
they're back. They win a game like that against the
bad Jets team. That's right, We're gonna win the rest
of the season. We're not gonna lose a game the
rest of the year. I told you that last week.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
You told me that last week.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, I said, we won't lose.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I feel like Arnie, you tell us that after every
single game. I do not every game they lose, Like, well,
they're just not gonna lose again the rest of the year.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I think you're a little mad that they came back
to beat the Jets. I think you wanted them to
lose to the Jets.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
No, no, no, I'm actually ecstatic they came back to beat
the Jets because I'm small hard enough to know my
team sucks and we're not going anywhere. So I needed
the Jets to win so the Raiders can maintain that
spot in the top two. See, the Jaguars were dumb
enough to go win a game today over the Titans.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Let me tell you, if we put up thirty two
points every game, we won't lose.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Yeah, you will, absolutely you would because your defense can't
say you just gave up twenty six to the Jets,
aren'tye who have mass too?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
So remember we held them.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Those not count?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
What the field goals, that's right, Yeah, they count obviously.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Okay, there's still points that you're giving up. Quit. I
feel like you've become.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
You know now. I want to make the playoffs and
win and go to the AFC Championship Phase game, just
to go ahead and face you. You know that, don't
you now, face me and Idea and everybody else that's
that's going give it to them play give it to them, dophins. No,
we'll see now. Now, now we'll see how right you are.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, how about this, I'll cut my arm off if
the Miami Dolphins playing the AFC championship game. How's that
if your Dolphins win, I will Mary can bring the
saw to Oklahoma. Patrick can have the video and we'll
cut my arm off live onto the air.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
How's gonna make sure it's gonna be a rusty saw?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Then?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, that's right, I'll take care of that well in
football games and actually matter today, what do we make
of what happened between the Bills and the Rams?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Everyone had just kind of went ahead and elevated the
Bills to this next level, and they deserve it. There's
still a really good football team. And you know, we'll
see what happens here at the end of this Chargers Chiefs.
One of my saying, we'll see what happens. The Chiefs
are going to get a field goal five seconds left
to win the game. The Bills lose. The Bills lose today,
and their their defense speaking of struggling defense.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah, I was about to say, you're still thinking that
the Bills could be a AFC championship team. Mark a
team that go to the Super Bowl. But yet their
defense is Bobby equivalent to Miami's. But their offense is
probably a better a lot better.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So is everything Now that we talk about going to
be equated to something about the Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
No, but I mean, you know, you don't say thing
about how bad the Bills defense is.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I just did good.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I just did I did their defense forty four forty
four to the Rams. That's embarrassing, right, and lose the
football game. So you know again, I we're in Week fourteen.
We've got for most teams three games to go, right
handful still have four to go. It's just I mean,
all right, sorry, most teams have four to go, A
(13:32):
few teams have three, but as it stands right now,
they've already.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Won their division.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Now you I guess the only thing is with Pittsburgh
winning and the Bills losing, kind of puts you a
little bit tighter on that two seed overall. Now, I'm
not someone that's looking to playoff seatings, but I'll look here,
all right, they still have the tiebreaker because of a
strength of victory according to Buffalo, so they're still in
a good spot. But you'll lose a game like that
to a Rams team that I mean, let's face it,
(14:00):
they're seven and six football team. You lost to a
five hundred football team at home. To me, i'd rate
to some red flags. If I'm a Bills fan right.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Now, does it? Because I mean, they've played better?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Was it? They played well?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
It was a great football game, right, It wasn't like
they should be embarrassed or anything to that effect.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And shouldn't it make you feel worse though, if you
play well and you still lose.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Well, it was on the road. It's always tough to
win on the road. And by the way, the Ray
you said the Rams are a five hundred team, but
they started one in four, right, So I mean, aren't
they a little bit better right now than a five
hundred team the way they've been playing. No, they had
won three out of their last four now three and one.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Who are those wins?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
The Bills win is really their only impressive winning that stretch.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
If you want to back up before then they beat them.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Well, if you want to go back, they beat the
Vikings and the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah, those are pretty good wins also.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
But then somehow they lost to the Dolphins, which would
be reason. It just absolutely enclosure franchise. As far as
I'm concerned, they got smoked by the Eagles, who look
very human right now.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I'm just if you're gonna try to tell me that
you're okay with the Bills because you think the Rams
are a good team. I'm not gonna fight you, but
I will say if you're gonna tell me that the
Bills played great and still lost, that's a problem in
mind only reason, actually, when you give up forty four.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
The only reason I'm okay with the Bills is because
I think it's so top heavy in the AFC. I
don't even believe in Pittsburgh, to be honest with you.
I think it's Kansas City, Buffalo and everybody else. The
Chargers do scare me if they get on a run,
but nobody else really scares me in the AFC, And
in the NFC, it's like Detroit, Philadelphia and who else.
Maybe Minnesota if they get on a run. But otherwise,
(15:42):
I don't feel like there's too many teams that are
gonna make a run at this thing.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
All right, We're coming to your live from the Tirack
dot com studios. When we come back, we'll start rolling
through some of the college football playoff news. Because the
field is set, they're at the two minute warning. They're
at the two minute warning. Real, let's watch this play.
The Chiefs are facing a third in seven seventeen sixteen,
the Chargers lead this What do they have that on
Arnie the twenty yard line?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I'm like a good twenty seconds before.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
They're at the twenty yard line on a third and seven.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
If the Chiefs pick this up, they can basically run
the clock out and they'll get a first down.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Of course, the Chiefs pick up a first down at
the twelve yard line, so trailing seventeen to sixteen, the
Chargers are out of timeouts. The Chiefs can kneel this
down and do exactly what we said, which is kick
a game when you feel good. About two seconds left
in the game. Seen this play before. We'll recap it
when we come back with Arnie and Plank on Fox
(16:38):
Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Told you, I told you exactly what's gonna happen, Arnie.
I think everybody knew course to watch the NFL.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
It's just Chiefs go down on a third and seven.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Mahmes runs around misses what should have been an easy
sack fights Travis Kelsey sitting all alone for a first down,
they kneel on it until there's a second left because
the opposing teams used up all their timeouts, and boom,
game winning field goal. Of course onots in. Gosh, they're
(17:27):
that good.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Man, no way that deserves to go into it. And
I'm thinking, am I gonna have the curse? Is that
gonna miss? Is it gonna the post and come back?
And of course it hits the post that goes in.
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
How that's just I don't even know what's saying more fans.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
If it's the post, I would say, like eighty percent
of the time, the kick's not going to be good.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
If you're a chief.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
A serious question, if you're a chief, san does do
these kind of breaks that are happening in the ring
snap last week in the Raiders game, the field goal
dwinking in this week several breaks with quote unquote calls.
Does it build your confidence up that makes you, oh, yeah,
(18:12):
we're just we're wait, who did who was it that
we had on a while back on he Maybe it
was on Friday night whenever we were filling in.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
By the way, look at you on the Friday nights?
Are these are these last second or are these scripted
and planned?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
That was that was planned. I don't know Jason was
off that night. I don't know where he went look
at you anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I don't know if it was on a Friday night
or when it was, but I mean, I think it
was Jason Cole. It's like, Oh, I just think they're
bored with the regular season. And if that's the case,
you getting a lot of breaks if you're bored and
kind of playing with your food a lot like they are.
So if you're a Chance fan, does this build your confidence?
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Right?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Oh? Yeah, nothing can stop us or I mean sneakily Arnie,
it's it's it's it's gotta make you a little bit
worried how they're just skating buying a lot of these games.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
You can't be bored with the regular season. Maybe if
it's the NAA, you could say you're bored with the
your season because the NBA has that type of game
where you can share two walls and like that. You
can't do that in football one game a week. You
can't just half assets. You got to be ready for
the whole game. Otherwise you're gonna get yourself hurt. They've
just been very lucky, I mean good and lucky. But
(19:16):
remember what they always say, better to be lucky than good.
They're a little bit of both. If I'm a Chiefs fan,
I'm saying to myself, it's gonna come back, you know.
If I'm in a room with a whole bunch of
other Chief fans eating barbecue, I'm saying to myself, is
it gonna come back? And Biden's and the ass boys.
Eventually we're not gonna get lucky, and it's gonna cause
us a super Bowl. That's how I feel.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Get Arnie working so blue tonight, Mary. The language he's
really trying to show off.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Are they.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Think is oh, we have my Hollywood elite friends who
are gonna be writing that Arnie Spaniards show I told
you about.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Are you sure this is an Arnie Spaniards show.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
By the way, once I become famous on TV, I'm
gonna have to come up with a whole new list
of friends, aren't I.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Well, of course that's what you do.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah, Like I mean, I can see like Ben Afflack
and I being good friends.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Ben would not want to be your friend?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Why not? Why would?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
He's actually smart?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
And if I'm friends with Ben Affleck, I'm automatically friends
with Matt Damon too. So how about Snoop would want
to be friends with me? Can you see me going
over to watch the games with Snoop? And I'd say,
put on the games and can you blow?
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Why did you just sound high right there?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Yeah? He doesn't know what that means. Can you?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Can you blow that the other way?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Snoop?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Not in my direction please.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
And snoopould look at you and kick you right off
the compound.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Wow, agreed?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
What about Sandler? Adam Sandler and I would be good friends.
I could see that.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
I can actually see that one, that's the realistic one.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
And I don't. Yeah, yeah, I can see myself Like
I said, Hey, Adam, meet me at the courts. Let's
play some ball, you know, go shoot around.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
There was no confidence when you said that.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
Yeah, it'll dunk on you, Arnie, or you'll shoot the three.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
When I become friends with Snoop, I want to take
a picture of us together. Okay, so you guys know
how close we are.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
So what is the next step here? Before you become.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Rich and join the Illuminatio.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah, no, I just swear it's just a matter of
time now. And I've come up with the title of
the show. You know how the name of the show
was Roseanne. How about this Arnie?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I don't think you get to what a genius name?
For sure?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I always like the Brady Bunch. How about Arnie's Bunch?
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Again? Do you get to name this show? I do?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I think I pretty kind of. I'm pretty sure I get.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
To That's not the most reassuring.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Pretty sure.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
The Hollywood at least said no.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
No, how about Hello, Hello Arnie?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
How about Arnie?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Everybody woves Arnie?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Do this sad? Can we just go to the next topic?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Is really?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Yeah, that's a good call. All right?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
As we come to you live from the tyrach dot
com studios, As expected, another Sunday night football slash primetime
escape for the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Steve de Sager is here to recap it all with
what's trending? What's going on? Steve?
Speaker 8 (22:18):
You know, I would say it's just astounding at this point,
but it was at this point two months ago.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
It just hasn't ended.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
The Chiefs are twelve and one, undefeated, at home, They
blew a thirteen to nothing halftime lead and still win
nineteen seventeen over the Chargers tonight on a thirty one
yard field goal on the final play that went off
the upright and through. The Chargers allowed just sixteen points
a game that is the best in the NFL. They
(22:45):
had a lead of seventeen to sixteen until the final
drive fourteen plays when the Chiefs took the last four
thirty five off the clock and win on a field
goal on the final play, which is exactly how the
Chargers lost the Monday night game at Arizona earlier this year,
similar field goal on the final play, and that was
(23:06):
seventeen to fifteen. And when the Chargers and Chiefs met
in La in September this year, it was tied fourth quarter.
Chiefs had a sixty yard drive to take the lead.
This was a fourteen play forty seven yard drive.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
How games are the Chiefs won in the fourth quarter
this year?
Speaker 8 (23:22):
In fact, if not just this year, if you just
go by games decided by one score or less, they've
won fifteen in a row, the longest set streak in
the history of the National Football League, and they continue
to dominate the AFC West and specifically the Chargers over
the past decade. The Chiefs record against the Chargers is
(23:44):
nineteen to three, including seven straight wins head to head,
both games this year home and home. One thing for
Justin Herbert, who was playing without his starting running back JK.
Dobbins on the injury reserve for a month and without
by far his wide receiver, rookie Lad mcconkee, was out
tonight with knee and shoulder injuries. But Herbert still has
(24:05):
not thrown an interception since Week two. That was the
only pick he's thrown all season. It's now been three
hundred and thirty five passes in a row without an
interception thrown by Justin Herbert, which is a franchise.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Right, so rather have two.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
It is an eight and five record for the Chargers now,
and keep in mind is Baltimore is also eight and five.
Just a couple weeks ago on Monday Night Football, Baltimore
beat the Chargers head to head in La so for
the moment that would move the Ravens up to perhaps
a Ravens at Texans first round battle, and the Denver
Broncos are eight and five and guess what, Remember that
(24:44):
flex to a Thursday game. It's a week and a
half away. It's Denver at the Chargers, and currently they're
both at.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Eight at five.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
The Monday night football game tomorrow is Cincinnati four and
eights at Dallas five and seven. Cowboys have one home
win all season one and five for the Bengals, Joe
Burrow does have four straight games with at least three
passing touchdowns. His year has been superb thirty touchdowns only
five interceptions. Obviously, he won't sniff the MVP award because
(25:12):
Cincinnati's four and eight, but Joe Burrow has been quite good.
Six teams are on a bye this weekend. By the way,
the defenses for the Rams and Bills were on a bye.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Today.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
The Rams wound up winning forty four to forty two,
highest scoring game of the league this year. Buffalo's seven
game win streak is over Seattle and San Francisco, each
one and earlier. Today, Philadelphia won its ninth in a row.
Minnesota won its sixth straight. In fact, the Vikings got
five touchdown passes from Sam Darnold in a win over
Kirk Cousins in Atlanta forty two to thirty one. SMU
(25:45):
and Clemson made the College Football Playoff. Alabama and Miami
were not selected. Alabama this year lost to two five
hundred teams, Oklahoma and Vanderbilt. SMU opens its postseason at
Penn State. Remember home games for the first round. Clemson
opens at Texas on Saturday, the twenty first. Texas is
eleven and two, both losses to Georgia. Purdue has a
(26:07):
new head football coach. It's Barry Odom from UNLV. He'd
also coached at Missouri. UCF introduced Scott Frost as head
coach today. In the NBA, the late game is in
La Lebron James of the Lakers out tonight with a
sore foot. Lakers are off until Friday. After this evening
Lakers lead Portland one hundred to eighty three, was six
minutes to go. Already wins for Golden State and Sacramento.
(26:30):
Wins for Houston and Memphis. Denver got forty eight points
from Nikola jokicchen one at Atlanta one forty one to
one eleven. Miami upset Cleveland won twenty two to one thirteen.
And perhaps you heard about the little contract the Mets
agreed to tonight with outfielder Juan Soto fifteen year deal worth
seven hundred and sixty five million dollars oh, with opt
(26:53):
out after five years. No money deferred involved in SODO
to the Mets, back to you.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
So do we now? Wait, my gosh, I'm sorry. Seven
hundred and sixty five million and he doesn't pitch, No,
he doesn't. It's just an outfielder. What does that go down?
Per season? Steve fifty one million? Are we?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Are we getting closer to an era of one hundred
million dollar a year players? Maybe maybe we're not quite
there in baseball, but I feel like we're getting close
in basketball in the NBA, right, I mean, we're we're
inching towards that.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Right.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
If I'm an owner, I just give them the team
and say pay me. Do you just pay me?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
What are they gonna what are they gonna pay you for?
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (27:38):
It's crazy out there, and you have your first billion
dollar player probably in two three years from now.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
I'm guessing that's say, maybe that's the better question.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Instead of one hundred million dollars per year, when's our
first he signed a billion dollar deal? I'd give all
that money. I give all that money to Patrick Mahomes
that's for sure. I mean, are we watching what he's
doing right now? Bill, here's a couple of ideas. Arnie
should just call his show gas lit. That's from Bake,
because you're always gaslight, you're gaslighting everybody. Here's a few
(28:09):
from Colin. He right, Nobody loves Arnie, breaking Arnie, the Spankers,
curb Arnie's enthusiasm, the Arnie File. We could have some
fun with this.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I think I like that. That's like the Rockford Files,
the Arnie Files. That could be good.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
They're focused on the wrong one. Dude.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Wow, again, I still don't I think is this show
about Arnie Spaniard?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I mean, is that what we're talking about?
Speaker 5 (28:36):
The war usedad.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
No, you don't have to worry what it's about, don't
worry about but you're telling us what it's about.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
And I think you're misrepresenting it as well.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
It's it's pretty much the Arnie Span your show pretty much.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
I'm just gonna say yourself.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Here's a good tweet.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Here's a good tweet for mister Nobody to gives back
real quick on the Chiefs tonight, and then coming up
we'll dive into really good interactions so far on the
program so far. On Twitter, it's thinking genius swap. I'm
at playing show. Everybody should be following us. At Fox
Sports Radio, here's mister nobody who writes Areti's not wrong
about the Chiefs, with apologies to Rob Parker for gimmick infringement.
(29:16):
The Chiefs are the worst eleven to one team I've
ever heard of. If they luck their way into the
Super Bowl, they won't win it. There are ten teams
in the NFL that have a better point differential than
the Chiefs do, right and they're at twelve and one
right now.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
But like I said, I don't really trust anybody other
than Buffalo and Buffalo we've seen what happens when they
go in the playoffs en have to take on the Chiefs.
It doesn't usually fare too well for them. Otherwise, Pittsburgh, Texans,
maybe at Baltimore, but I don't really buy into anybody
else that could beat the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
You're still kind of saying the Texans kind of surprises
me a little bit because you've been off them for
a while. Now I have them for a while. With
the way that they've played.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
They're disappointing. There's no doubt about that, But they're still
going to go the division.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I guess from my perspective, I feel the exact same
way you do. Who do you look at and feel
incredibly confident that you could look up and still see
them playing in the AFC or NFC Championship game? I mean,
because even at twelve and one in their history, I
still think there's people that are like, I just don't know.
Eventually it's gonna catch up to them. Well will it?
When you have to go through Arrowhead? And it might
(30:23):
be what was.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
The wind show whenever the Dolphins played there?
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Like five degrees negative one hundred degrees?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Do you feel over The Eagles are eleven and two
right now, can't throw the football, They've won nine straight games.
Do you feel overly confident about them making a push
towards the Super Bowl? The Lions are an incredible story, Arnie,
I mean an incredible story. They're twelve and one, they
keep finding ways to win games. They've won eleven straight games.
But I think, as as Ephram put it, they had
(30:50):
dudes introducing themselves to each other before kickoff on Thursday,
and I say, Hi, how you doing, Jamal Adams. We
played college ball against each other. Gay, I'm the safety,
I go here. I mean, that's how deemed up they
are are right now. I don't think anyone feels confident
about what's going on in the NFC South or West.
I mean, come on, dude, this is as I bring
up that point to say, as lopsided as these numbers look, right,
(31:12):
an eleven and two team, a twelve and one team,
Vikings are eleven and two, Chiefs twelve and one, at
ten and three and ten and three. I don't know
if if any of us look at that and say, oh, yeah, dude,
that team's going to the Super Bowl and either in
either conference right now.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
No, but that doesn't mean they can't pull off and up.
Absolutely are we going to be surprised Minnesota. Let's say
they're taking on a Detroit or Philadelphia team. They're only
going to be what a five or six point favorite.
That's nothing crazy. Green Bay's got a good team. I
don't think they can do it, but you never know
when they pull off something, or maybe like Daniels with
the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
And Vava job at the right time, if the.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Chargers are Denver going a little bit of a run.
I mean, I'm not crazy about a rookie quarterback like
bo Knicks, but he's looked good. He's getting better every week.
He's looking so much better. You just I'll know where
that upset comes from.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
All Right, when we come back to the Tyraq dot
com studios, you know what, we need a full run
through all your reactions to week fourteen to one Soda.
We've barely scratched the surface on the twelve team college
football playoff and the rabot. How about the fact that
last year's fourteen playoffs semi final game between Michigan and Alabama,
(32:22):
the rematch this year is in the.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Rely Request Bowl. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
There was a lot of people complaining about that. I
know that there was people just screaming that the system's
messed up.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Well, the systems. It's college football. It's always been messed up.
But let's tell you how messed up it is. When
we come back with Arnie and Plank on a Fox
Sports Sunday.
Speaker 1 (32:44):

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Fifteen years, seven hundred and sixty five million dollars for
one SODO to the Mets fifty one million dollars is
the second largest average aav.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
In baseball history. How about that?
Speaker 3 (33:15):
That's insane. I keep I just don't know how you.
I mean, what do you do with all that money?
You just want to sit around in the bank or
you start buying some big old homes. I don't know
what you do, geez.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
I mean, I'd like to try to figure out what
to do with that kind.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Of privately, is what I would do.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Let's get to week fourteen, though, a lot of things
that we haven't really had a chance to dive into yet.
Arnie and two of them on the injury front near
and dear to my heart, at O'Connell looks like he's
done for the season. Did you happen to see the
play he got hurt on the rador?
Speaker 3 (33:49):
What he was pushing in the back?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Did I miss something? Was he was pushing miss back?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
And I know what you're saying, And he just fell
over And I'm like, how did he fracture his ankles?
That I'm not quite understanding what happened there.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
I feel the same way I'm watching it and he's
down and the cart comes out, and I'm thinking, what
is this some sort of chest injury?
Speaker 2 (34:14):
What's going on here? And they put the air cast
on it and he got up. He got up and
got on the cart. So that means the Raiders as
bad as they are at two and eleven. Now, Oh,
by the way, guess what, America, you get to watch
them on Monday Night Football next week. Sorry about that.
We'll now have their third string quarterback as the starting quarterback,
(34:35):
a guy who wasn't even on the team to start
the season. So things looking good for that top pick
is Desmond Ritter will get the call for the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
On money get your door standers with the door cam Ward,
you know, whichever way they decided to go with it.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
I mean, Dion's pushing it big time.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
You're you're gonna get Sanders? Now, how are you gonna
what about his son?
Speaker 4 (34:56):
Were?
Speaker 3 (34:57):
What round is he gonna go in?
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Which one? I have a hunter? Nod calls coach Prime calls
Travis's other son. You know, wow, so I know you're
talking about his other I think he's like a third
round pick right now. Maybe.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Okay, So the Raiders could have both of them, then
that's right.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
And remember they have an extra third round pick from
the trade for Davante Adams, so maybe they do. I
want to see him do the thing the Texans did
a couple of years ago where they get their quarterback
and then trade back up and also get Travis Hunter.
I know that's not going to happen, but here we are.
The other injury. The other injury was Derek Carr, who, unfortunately,
unlessen SAT fans, you're the worst man. I just this
(35:34):
guy is balling. He's playing well, and you would think
that he's out there throwing with his left hand. Well,
his left hand gets hurt as he's going all out
to make a play. It looks like he broke his
wrist or broke his hand. I don't know. I don't
know if he can play through that. I mean, it's
his non throwing hand. But next week the Saints and
the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
So yeah, yeah, I'm shutting it down. If i'm him there,
I am too. Yeah, there's no reason to play through that.
He looked like he was in a lot of paying
coming off, and I felt bad for the guy to
be I think.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
I think there. I mean I don't know what the
future looks like.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
I mean, has Russell has Russell Wilson established himself as
the Steelers guy?
Speaker 3 (36:11):
No, he's the Steelers guy for this year and just
this year at all?
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Is I mean, is it done so done that Gino
Smith's still gonna be there? I mean all Seattle does
is win games, right, I mean, I don't know if
there's Atlanta's a mess right now, but we know who
their next starting quarterback is going to be, and it
could be sooner rather than later. I mean, I just
I love Derek Carry's one of my favorite backs. Is
he going to be a bridge quarterback in a place
like Tennessee or maybe going back to Vegas or maybe
(36:37):
the Giants because there's just not a lot of options
out there, I think for some of these veteran quarterbacks.
But you never know. I mean, look at Cleveland right now.
Are you counting on to Shaun Watson being their guy
next year?
Speaker 3 (36:48):
No? And also are you counting if you're a Minnesota
on JJ McCarthy, if Sam Donald is going to leave it,
I guess he's going to leave because they're not gonna
give him the money.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Well, they're making it seem like Sam Donald's gonna get
paid this offseason and mintioning mentioning that, and speaking of that, Arnie,
we got to start giving the Vikings the credit they deserve.
Five touchdown passes for Sam Darnald three hundred and forty
seven yards through the air. Now, granted, they had a
little bit of a rough start in this game, right,
This was a fourteen to ten game at the half,
(37:18):
and the Falcons where they took the lead in the
third quarter, but twenty one and answered in the third
quarter to just absolutely pulled away. I mean, let's go,
what a what a resurrection story for the career of
Sam Darnald here.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
When they all as cousins, I'm like, oh, well they're done.
It's going their old point and McCartney gets turned, the
McCarthy gets turned the preseason too, I'm like, forget about this.
Could you imagine that McCarthy didn't get hurt and he
got the start. Ah, this might look like a completely
different point at the start.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Great point, but are you buying the Vikings?
Speaker 3 (37:48):
I guess I have to because I have no choice.
I have no choice, and it's really top heavy. So
they're the next to the best bunch there.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, the Eagles won twenty two to sixteen today Carolina Panthers,
dropping Carolina to three and ten, boosting the Eagles to
twenty to eleven and two winners of nine straight games.
But Arnie afterwards, the only conversation anyone went to have
was about the inept nature of the Eagles passing game.
Jalen Hurts finished fourteen of twenty one for one hundred
(38:19):
and eight yards. Aj Brown four catches for forty three yards.
But with Saquon running like he did, and I mean
the Eagles as a team, they ran the ball thirty
one times for two hundred and nine yards six point
seven yards per carry.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Yeah, but they brought only out one hundred and twenty
four yards, so it wasn't like he was tearing it
up though I gave him like twenty times.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Though, oh, win is one hundred and twenty four yards
not a good rushing day. It is.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
But if you tell me had one hundred and twenty
four yards rushing and Hurts out one hundred yards pass,
the had so old, then they lost. They you can't
win a game on that. That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
I say six win.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
His twenty carries one hundred and twenty four yards six
point two yards per carry, Like god, you know, he
just didn't really have that great of the game, Like,
what are we even doing in combination with just one
hundred yards passing?
Speaker 4 (39:05):
All allow it, mister Spaniard, Thanks but thank you.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Should there be concerns about Philadelphia not being able to field?
Speaker 3 (39:12):
No, I mean, look, I thought Philadelphia, I like away
in the line the points. Remember we heard about that
gambler that bet three point one million that they were
going to win the game. We should have known that
the Panthers plus the points for the play here. I
just didn't think.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Why because one guy bet on it that you've never
heard of before in your life.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
That's amazing three point one They even mentioned that on
the red zone shadow. They're like an unknown gambler. But
three point one million to win four forty thousand, it's
still insane. I was rooting against him. I wanted to
see the Panthers away.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Of course you were. Well.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
When we come back to the tyrack dot com studios,
that's just a start on some of the notes and
tidbits from Week fourteen to the National Football League.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
We got much much more to.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Get to, including an update on the books with our
man Todd Furman. But listen, Arnie, we are an hour
into the program and we haven't yet touched on the
twelve team playoff. It is set the matchups. We know
there's numbers and spreads out there. Who's mad? Who's happy?
Did we get it right? We're gonna talk about the
twelve team playoff when we come back, plus more on
(40:17):
the Chiefs Sunday Night football win on Fox Sports Radio.
We're comany Alive from the tyrack dot com studios.

Anything surprised you about the twelve team playoff announcement today?
Were you shocked the Alabama didn't get in? I?
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Well, I wasn't shocked because I saw the report before
it came out. Did you see that? I think I
said it to you? Did I not?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Or what I was on the air, But Brett McMurphy
reporting that SMU was in and Alabama was out right.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
I saw that report. I retweeted it to ruin it
for everybody else. So because I got a ruined for me,
so I wanted to ruin it for everybody else out there.
But I still didn't believe it. When it was coming down,
I'm like, he must be wrong because I'm trying to
look at the numbers in the seats, and I thought
he was wrong up till the last minute. They they
I thought they did a pretty good job on the
selection show, to be honest with you, the first with
(41:22):
it and the way they put it out there and
the way they re released the teams and how they
got it to the SMU or Alabama to the end there.
I thought they did a very good job, to be
honest with it. But I tell you that was the
biggest surprise.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
There's no doubt When you say they did a good job.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Are you talking about the selection committee or the actual
broadcast itself.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
No, Well, I guess the committee could only do what
it was by the rules. But I do the props. Well,
you know, I don't think that boys he should be
getting a first round by same thing with Arizona State.
I don't think that Oregon should have to play the
winner of.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
What was see.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
I thought that's ridiculous. Penn States certainly has an easy road,
but the rules that that one made right, right, But
don't we say that? Even in basketball we say that too, though.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
They A lot of things need to change.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Let me let me tell you just some thoughts real
quick from someone who has spent way too much to
time today covering this. Number One you've got to receive
if you're going to continue to give four conference champions
byes regardless, right, kind of kind of like the NFL
where if you win in your division, you get a
home playoff game.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
Now this is.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Different because we're only talking about four and a twelve
team playoff, So I think that needs to be reevaluated.
I agree with you because there's no way. What was
Arizona twelve in the seeding?
Speaker 4 (42:44):
Right?
Speaker 2 (42:44):
They were the twelfth three team Arizona State, Well, everyone
knows what I'm talking about because Arizona's irrelevant. So Arizona
State was twelve. They shouldn't be getting a buy They shouldn't.
I love Boise State this year, shouldn't be getting a
buy But okay, regardless of that, we should reseed after
the first round, right, because again, Oregon shouldn't be allowed
(43:05):
to play the lowest seeded team remaining, and if that's
the nine seed and that's Tennessee, Okay, I just I
have a hard time looking at that and thinking, Wow,
Oregon's the one seed and their reward is they get
to play against either Ohio State who nearly beat him
at home.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
Right, maybe one of the more.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Underappreciated defensive football teams in college football in Tennessee with
maybe the best defensive football I know they are on
he maybe the best defensive football player, James Pierce.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
Just unbelievable. So I don't like that about it.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
I also, again, we could debate until we're blue in
the face. But one thing that really kind of irked
me today. Did you notice when they were using the
resumes what they were comparing people with.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
I did look at the resumes, but iak up on
that wins over teams that are five hundred? Right? I
saw that part?
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Yes, When did that start being a thing you should
always if you're a playoff team, you shouldn't be company. Well,
they lost to a team with Alabama was doing one
about five hundred if I remember correctly, they were four
and one.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
Well the other ones were like, well SMU was what
two and three or something.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
No, correct you're thinking of When they were debating the
three teams that were deserving of a bye, whenever, it's
Arizona State and Clemson and SMU not not SMU, excuse me,
Boise State and Clemson was the only Clemson had a
losing record against teams that are below five hundred five hundred,
(44:44):
and so my point is, the hell are we doing
College Football Playoff Committee graphic makers? Wins over teams that
are five hundred are better? How about wins over teams
in the top twenty five? How about wins over teams
that are ranked over five hundred? Arnie, I just I
felt like.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
It was a universal lowering of the bar is what
I thought we saw here today. And number two, long run,
I know everyone's clowning on Alabama's athletic director because, oh,
he didn't lose any non conference games, So how is
this really going to affect non conference scheduling? It will,
and it's going to because all these games that you like,
(45:21):
they're not gonna happen in the non content and the SEC.
Another thing is not going to expand to nine conference games.
They're going to stay at eight and basically say bleep, you,
so when you can plain when Alabama is playing more
games against Mercers, Cathedral College or whomever's.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
But they played three Pautz's anyway this year, Chris, did
they not?
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Yeah, but they always schedule up and they're and they're
always going to do it now and they're not going
to add a ninth college conference game, which I think
everybody should be at nine. But why would you if
you're the ACC or the Big twelve or the SEC, Like, no,
why would we because it doesn't matter s U. Strength
of schedule is laughable. But all they did was beat
the teams they're supposed to beat, and you've got to
(46:03):
reward that. I thought they were out in the first
half last night, Arnie, I'm not gonna lie, I thought,
asking you and it was out in Alabama.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
And eyeball, I'm like, oh, they're getting blown out. They're
not even gonna be close. Well, it's just Alabama's in.
There's no doubt in my mind they were gonna get
in at that point.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
But I will say my favorite things so far in
the knnipplamar or excuse me, on our text that we've
been rolling through here today, on our tweets of the show.
Have been people that are pointing out that last year
Alabama got the benefit while Florida State got screwed. Right,
So what are all the Florida State fans loving tonight
and all college footballmaas?
Speaker 3 (46:37):
Yeah, they got stuck for.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
That calburd rights. Alabama was left out of the college
football playoffs. Now the shoe was on the other foot
when they robbed Florida State last season out of a playoffs.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
Whether they deserved it or not, were you surprised that
they left Alabama out? Yes, shocked you and I both
because I always think they'll find the way to put
him in. It's made for TV. More eyes will watch
the Alabama team than SMU. They'll figure it out. They'll
come up with some excuse, but they didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
I think I think SMU is a good football team.
I think they're fun. I think they're gonna get smoked
by Penn State. By the way, I'll tell you what.
Penn State looked pretty good offensively to me last night
for a team that has been kind of mediocre offensively
all season long.
Speaker 4 (47:25):
Did you watch much of the Big Ten title game?
Speaker 1 (47:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (47:27):
You know? Locked in man, what.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Is it now? James Franklin. Oh and ten against teams
in the top ten?
Speaker 4 (47:34):
Is that? What is it?
Speaker 3 (47:34):
What it's come down to now? To an eighth against
the spread, that's gotta change real quick.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
Well, well, what if they make the Well look at
their path, aren't he They play SMU in the first round,
then they play boys he stayed in the second round.
Those are games James Franklin wins. Yeah, if he gets
Penn State to the semi finals against say Georgia or
Notre Dame or Indiana, I mean, that's like a as
bad as he's been against top ten teams, you gotta.
Speaker 4 (48:01):
Do you tip your cap or do you say it
was a lucky draw.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
That was a lucky draw, No doubt it was a
lucky draw. No infans or much about that.
Speaker 4 (48:09):
Would you would you take him as your coach at Arizona?
Of course?
Speaker 2 (48:14):
See, I mean that's the whole thing, right. So you're like, oh,
he sucks against top ten teams. And by the way, uh,
he's three and nineteen against top ten opponents. Oh my god,
three and nineteen, So you have to you know, let's
not let's not anything exact, but three and ten against
top ten opponents with both losses this year coming against
(48:36):
top ten teams.
Speaker 4 (48:38):
But I just it's one of those great I mean,
look at Ohio State right now.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
Ohio State fans are like done with Ryan Days, crying
Day is out, he stinks, he's no good. Well, they
got a whole playoff game against Tennessee in primetime on
Saturday night December twenty first, and then that game they
had against Oregon on the road, it came down to
a literal last millisecond play right whenever they said the
clock expired before Will Howard got down to try a
(49:07):
long field goal to win the game. And now you're
gonna play them in a neutral site. I mean again,
I'm just I'm saying these two coaches that everybody thinks
stinks and what fired Arnie, they can find themselves playing
for a national championship even after losing to their.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Rivals or ohiose they could end up losing the Tennessee
in the first d be done and things will get
real ugly. Losing it home to a team like that.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
You can take that negative side.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
I'm going glass half for what's your favorite first round matchup?
Ohio State, Tennessee, Clemson, Texas, Notre Dame Indiana or Penn
State SMU.
Speaker 3 (49:40):
It's obviously Ohio State Tennessee. That's the one I think
is a chance for an upset. Unless I'm missing something
out there. I do like Notre Dame Indiana, but people
kept telling me Indiana's no strength of schedule, their rankings
are no good, they don't deserve to be there, So
I'm laying off time. I like Indiana all year, but
(50:03):
I think the Ohio State Tennessee game has the best
chance for the upset. That's that's probably the best matchup.
Speaker 4 (50:09):
You think that Ohio State Tennessee has the best chance
for an upset? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
For tennis, probably probably so, right, I mean, because it's
seven and a half and the other games are right
around eight. I saw a first number I saw for
Texas and Clemson. I think it was the one that
I sent you eleven and a half.
Speaker 3 (50:25):
Wow, exactly.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
Really, we'll talk to Todd Furman about it coming up
in just a bit. All right. Then, from that perspective,
who's second round? Then? Matchup? Do you like better of
the four buys?
Speaker 2 (50:36):
I gotta I gotta say, honestly, I kind of dig
what Georgia might face, and I know Notre Dame is there.
But between Oregon, Georgia, Boise State, and Arizona State.
Speaker 3 (50:46):
Well, I mean, if we're looking at from the teams
that have the buy, then if that's what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (50:51):
I'm asking, who do you think of the bye teams
has the best second round matchup?
Speaker 3 (50:55):
Well, then it's going to be Georgia, though Boise if
they get the first roundups that with SMU, they'll be
real happy to see SMU come intown and they might
ever be scared of Penn State. So maybe Boise might
be the answer to all that. I'm curious to see
how good Arizona State's gonna be. But they can't beat Texas.
(51:17):
They could maybe beat Clemson, but they can't. They can't
beat Texas.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
I wonder if I wonder if Clemson's gonna pull off
some sort of voodoo in this and somehow knockoff Texas.
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (51:29):
I mean, any chance Texas and Clemson just battle it
out so bad that they don't have enough left for
the following week against Arizona State.
Speaker 4 (51:38):
That's the concern over those first round games right now.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
The way, do I get have credit for saying a
team from Arizona it was going to be in the
twelve team playoff.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
If I would have asked you in the preseason what
you thought Arizona State's record would be, you probably would
have told me they wouldn't win a game. I mean,
I'm just you gotta be honest with that right now.
But here they are in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (51:57):
I probably would have said that, but I didn't. I
could say, no, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
All right, final question on the playoffs. Biggest gripe for
not being in Bama, Ole, Miss Miami, or South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (52:09):
Alabama, there's no doubt. Yes, they lost the Vanderbilt and
they lost your Oklahoma team, but they played in the
SEC every week is so damn tough. Their schedules so
much better also, and they do have better wins. I
think they have the biggest s gripe of the bunch
out there.
Speaker 2 (52:26):
At a laugh Bakes tweet on it said, what we've
discovered is that Kaylin de Boor is not yet connected.
Speaker 4 (52:31):
Yeah, he doesn't have those connections.
Speaker 3 (52:33):
But if Nick Saban was the head coach when Alabama
made it this.
Speaker 2 (52:37):
Year, yeah, you know, that's a great question. That is
a great question, Arnie. If Saban was still the coach.
Is Alabama in the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (52:45):
Yes, the answer is, Jess, I think you're right, He
answers the answer, jest.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
Now, I don't think here's the other. I don't think
they lose to Vanderbilt, and they probably don't lose Oklahoma.
But that's neither here nor there.
Speaker 3 (52:56):
Maybe they lose one of those games.
Speaker 2 (52:58):
I'm gonna tell you this right now, and I listen,
I'm a completing total homer. I don't know who was
beating Oklahoma on that Saturday night, Norman. I mean, that
was as good as I've seen a football team play
in person, period, And they weren't very good in the
first quarter offensively, and then they got going.
Speaker 4 (53:14):
I don't know who was stopping them.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
So when people are like and I as six to
six Oklahoma like, well, on that night, we were more
like a twelve and one football team, I don't know
what got into him. So I'm not excusing it. I'm
not making anything seem better for Alabama. I'm just saying,
of the teams that have a gripe right now, I
guess that's the one where you look at maybe Southern
mess I keep saying Southern South Carolina Arnie because in
(53:39):
the old school day of the college basketball tournament, remember
how important was how you played down the stretch.
Speaker 4 (53:44):
He's like, well, in their last ten games, they're eight
and two.
Speaker 2 (53:46):
So we got him in and everyone like abolished that
and it didn't matter how you played down the stretch.
Well down the stretch. South Carolina was the best team
in college football. Man, they were just balling. They beat
Clemson last week. They won big games, but they lost
to a Miss, and they lost Alabama and they got
beat by Elis.
Speaker 3 (54:03):
When when we get these sixteen teams in, who would
have been the next four teams in Alabama, Miami, South Carolina,
Ole Miss. Is that who we'd have been?
Speaker 4 (54:13):
Yeah? Absolutely, I don't think there's any that would have
been great.
Speaker 3 (54:16):
That would have been awesome.
Speaker 2 (54:18):
I don't know if our debates are going to be
that fun in the future when we're getting down to thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,
and sixteen, Like this seems like a pretty unique year
on that front, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (54:28):
And by the way, it does seem unique on that
And I also brought this up on Friday when I
was filling in and Harmon and I went back and
forth on this and maybe it would have been another filling. Also,
I said, you know, because of this playoff, we're gonna
lose out on these conference championships won't have the same meaning.
People won't go what was it the ACC championship or
(54:50):
the they had the block off the top tier, the
top part of the bowl. Nobody's going to this stuff.
It's like it's almost a devalued a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (55:01):
So you're saying you don't think Oregon celebrating was happy
winning the Big Ten title.
Speaker 3 (55:06):
They of course they were happy.
Speaker 4 (55:07):
Yes, so it's not devalued.
Speaker 3 (55:09):
Some are, some aren't.
Speaker 2 (55:11):
Okay, So you're telling me Georgia wasn't ecstatic and Kirby
Smart was sitting there talking gas about getting a buy
from winning the SEC championship.
Speaker 3 (55:18):
No, they wanted to win that one. Also, I will
say that.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
Are you're telling me Dabos Sweeney didn't give a twelve
minute post game press conference interview.
Speaker 3 (55:25):
Oh, any time he wins, he gives a twelve minute
post game interview.
Speaker 2 (55:31):
So that guy Clinton that got clemsed into the playoffs,
I wasn't exciting for you.
Speaker 3 (55:35):
It was, But I'm just saying I think most people.
Speaker 4 (55:37):
You're just I'm giving you evidence to count and you're.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
No, No, I'm not saying exciting. I'm thinking about going
to the game spending your money people.
Speaker 4 (55:47):
I mean go to the playoff game? Why who cares? Existence?
Speaker 2 (55:51):
What's crazy at Atlanta for the SEC title game?
Speaker 3 (55:54):
Yeah, that they were, but the other games they are
holding back money and they were going to go to
the playoff games?
Speaker 2 (56:00):
Well were they? I mean what would I? What were
I with State fans holding back money for it to
not be in Dallas? I mean, what were you doing, Pyclones?
Well they did, I mean and there was nobody there.
Jerry World's got to stop hosting that thing. Put the
Big twelve Championship game and home sites. They don't have
the types of crowds that can fill that place period.
All right, when we come back to the Tirack dot
(56:20):
com studios, let's talk spreads and numbers with our man,
Todd Furman right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (56:27):
Mary, your Christmas song polls are fantastics, thank you.
Speaker 2 (56:32):
Yeah, out of absolutely nowhere. You have nothing to do
with her pulling her Chris or what the play.
Speaker 4 (56:39):
No you don't.
Speaker 2 (56:41):
Sometimes it's already playing on a Fox Sports Sunday, Todd
Furman joins us bet the Board podcast can't miss, especially
this time of year, because we're talking big money with
the playoffs. Todd, let's start there already, and I we're
talking college football and the twelve team playoff. Taking a
little pause from Week fourteen to the NFL. Are you
surprised sum you got the nod over Alabama? You surprised
(57:04):
by any of the seedings?
Speaker 7 (57:06):
No, not surprised that SMU got the NOD. I think
if you set the precedence that a conference championship game
doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot, you're putting
yourself in a little bit of harm's way. And Alabama
had multiple opportunities. I know they played a much more
difficult schedule going through the SEC, but you can't lose
on the road at Vanderbilt. There's more than any three
touchdown favorite, and you can't lay the eggs they did
in Norman, mustering all of three points against the Sooners.
(57:29):
If that game is more competitive, I can see making
a case. But Alabama had multiple opportunities to improve their resume,
and I think the committee got it right a rewarding
SMU for fighting back after facing a seventeen point deficit.
In the AEC Championship game.
Speaker 3 (57:43):
Todd any sudden movement right when the lines came out earlier,
Any big money come in already.
Speaker 7 (57:49):
No, nothing major. You've seen a little bit of an
appetite in Indiana and number got as high as nine.
That number is trended now in that seven and a
half range. I think it's going to be interesting to
monitor the weather forecast for all these games have a
number of programs not used to playing in cold weather.
And let's not sugarcoat it, most of these teams aren't
used to playing in late December and cold weather venues
when the season typically ends in late November. So that
(58:10):
becomes a game changer. And how these teams can acclimate
in those kind of adverse conditions all will go a
long way, especially when these on campus games. So for
a team like SMU practicing in Dallas, heading in a
happy Valley not going to be a pleasant experience any
more than it will be any more than it will
be in my opinion, for Tennessee heading north to go
to Columbus, even against a Buckeyes offensive line that may
(58:31):
not be able to protect their quarterback against that Tennessee
defensive front.
Speaker 3 (58:33):
One more thing that just odds to win the championship
like Penn State. Do the odds reflect on Penn State
having an easy roach. I just bet Penn State because
they'll be that SMU and Boise and get to the
four or what I.
Speaker 7 (58:46):
Mean, most of these prices, you're going to get better
numbers and return on investment if you end up betting
these teams on the money line and rolling them over,
I mean Penn State at six to one, you're not
stealing anything by any stretch of the imagination, because if
they have to go through two of the better teams
in the country, we already saw them as a three
and a half point underdog, not have enough offensive firepower
to keep up with Oregon, and if you had to
go through a Georgia team, I mean, you may essentially
(59:09):
be able to get that in just a three or
four game money line parlay with Penn State rather than
betting them at six to one if they have to
go through the most difficult road in front of them.
Speaker 2 (59:18):
Todd, you mentioned something about the weather and the side
of that. From that factor perspective, obviously, home field need
means a lot, the breaks mean a lot, But does
college football need to reevaluate the idea of just giving
the four highest seed conference champs. Do they need to
reevaluate those teams getting the first round by No.
Speaker 7 (59:41):
I don't think they need to reevaluate because I don't
want to tournament where it's two teams from the SEC
and two teams in the big tents that are getting
a buy every year, and I think if that's the case,
you're taking away some of the intrigues. So rewarding the
Boise States in the Arizona States of the world goes
a long way. What I think the committee needs to do, though,
is see these teams one through twelve and reseed based
(01:00:01):
on how things go. So if you have a twelve
seed upset of five and your Oregon waiting in the wings,
you shouldn't have to play Ohio State Tennessee. The winner
of that game, you should draw the twelve seed and
treat it much like the NFL does with the AFC
and NFC playoffs, where the best team plays the worst
remaining team. And college football can't hide behind this bracket ideology.
It makes sense in college basketball, where teams are in
(01:00:22):
the same venue playing thirty six hours apart, you have
ten days to make your travel plans here. So I
think that's the one tweak I would like to see
from the College Football Playoff going forward, that all of
these teams are seeded and five through twelve take place.
But if the twelve beats the five, then the one
plays the twelve in the quarterfinals.
Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Which cable get the most action on it?
Speaker 7 (01:00:40):
Todd, Oh, it'll be the Saturday night game between Ohio
State and Tennessee. Everything that you see to the first
three games, in my opinion, we'll roll into that and
you look at some of the blue bloods that are
involved in these games. I mean, Indiana may not move
the needle for the casual fan, but I think that's
arguably the most fascinating matchup because it's two programs that,
despite being separated by just a few hours, don't play
(01:01:01):
every year. At Notre Dame hasn't had any interest in
playing Indiana in the past. But everything will go into
that Ohio State Tennessee game is kind of the Marquee
Crown Jewel Saturday Night in.
Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Columbus to the NFL today. Todd just just out of
curiosity when you hear stories about massive wagers and they
become public, like the three million dollar alleged wager today,
what is as someone who lives this every day, and
obviously that person may too.
Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
I just it always kind of pisses me off for
some reason. What do you make when you see a
story like that that goes viral?
Speaker 7 (01:01:33):
Oh, it gets under my skin as well. I think
it glorifies an asset of the business that doesn't need
to be out there. And I think what gets lost,
especially with a wager like this, not that the player,
the individual serame nameless risk three point one million dollars,
but that three point one million dollars pays a half
a million dollars coming back. It's not like they're putting
up three point three to make three at minus one ten.
(01:01:54):
It's one of the heavier money lines that are out there.
And the sportsbook that took the bat, Hey, look, they
do a tremendous job with their risk profile and everything else.
They respected the bet so much that they didn't even
move the money line based on that wage you're coming in.
So that tells you about the caliber of player. It's
the same thing with a couple of these national books
where they want to try and share some of these
large tickets, six figure bets from celebrities when I can
(01:02:16):
bet six dollars and sixty three cents on some of
these NFL props that are out there on a given Sunday.
So it is an endless source of frustration for what
gets out there from a shock value standpoint, and to
your point, Chris, for folks that don't understand the industry,
it just creates, you know, all sorts of sirens and
all of that. The reason I say that as well
because when I work behind the counter at Caesars, we
(01:02:36):
had a customer who bet two hundred thousand dollars on
ten to twelve NFL games every single week. And if
I disclosed any of that information or that individual who
since passed, I would have been fired and terminated on
the spot for violating you know, that kind of not
quite doctor patient confidentiality, but it's the kind of thing
that you keep behind closed doors. And this seems to
be more about publicity to anything else.
Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
Oh I love it. I love that stuff. I can't
get enough every thought. I see those big bets and
they're all over Twitter now, Dott, it's all over the place.
I eat that stuff up. I can't get enough of it.
Speaker 7 (01:03:09):
Well, the difference that I have with this is the
book that took this particular wager is known to take
large bets, so you can make special arrangements with them,
and they're happy to kind of honor this caliber of action.
So I don't want to group them with a couple
of the national books that are out there that I'm
not going to put on blast by any stretch of
the imagination, that want to circulate large tickets, they want
to circulate parlays. But yet anyone who has a pulse
(01:03:31):
who tries to bet some of these games doesn't have
the ability to do so. And guys, I can share
screenshots with you of betting and trying to bet an
NFL total or a college football over under for a
conference championship game on Friday night where I got maybe
one eighth of the limit that I want, And folks
would be embarrassed by the amount that these books are
taking despite being publicly traded companies.
Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
Week fourteen, I mean, again, the Chiefs find a way
they dwink it in the Bills defense looks a little
bit suspect that we've I mean even go back to
Thursday night and the Lions needed a little bit of
everything to win that day doing that game on that day.
Speaker 4 (01:04:06):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
As much as we have a lot of teams that
are rolling and dominating right now with their overall record,
for some reason todd with the way they're playing, I
feel like it's a little bit more open than maybe
these records might indicate for these teams. In other words,
am I being sold to bill of goods here in
my belief or do you think anyone can come out
and find themselves playing in AFC or NFC Championship weekend.
Speaker 7 (01:04:28):
I think there are two teams that are cut above
everybody in the NFC. And I'm not going out on
a limb to say this that the Egos and Lions
are cut differently than the other teams that they're going
to have to compete with going through the road to
the NFC Championship. In the AFC, there are three teams
that have kind of separated themselves from the field, and
it's Buffalo. The Baltimore Ravens, despite facing a two game
deficit in the division behind the Steelers, are power rated
(01:04:50):
better than Pittsburgh and then Kansas City. But you mentioned
the Chiefs and the way that they have won and
improvable fashions. I know they're twelve and one, but you
look at their point differential plus fifty six. It's the
worst point differential we've ever seen for a team eleven
games over five hundred in the NFL. And oftentimes, what
goes up must come down. And while Patrick Mahomes no
doubt has the IT factor, blocking field goals against the
(01:05:12):
Denver Broncos inside of forty yards and banging field goals
off the upright tonight, ain't Patrick Mahomes an IT factor.
It's a little bit of Lady Luck smiling kindly upon you.
And when you continue to play tight games and live
on the razor's edge, even if you have the best
quarterback in the game going, all it takes is a
misstep here or there, and you cut off your nose
to spite your face. So I think there are a
handful of teams that are significantly better. I wouldn't be
(01:05:34):
too worried about Buffalo defensively. This looked like more of
an outlier than anything else, but it will be interesting
to see how they bounce back against a well rested
Lions team next week for the marquee game of the
weekend with one of the largest totals that we've seen
during the season, and trying to figure out which of
the teams that can come from off the pace that
may have a legitimate chance to play spoiler or become
(01:05:54):
a de facto Cinderella with a odds longer than fifteen
or twenty one.
Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
Wow, doda, if I wanted to make it in investment,
let's say a million dollar investment. What's a better investment
right now? Bitcoin or the Mets to win the World Series?
A very tough call, right now?
Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
What do you think?
Speaker 7 (01:06:09):
Yeah, in my opinion, it's a no brainer. So, but
I know you're going to try and make a case
as best you can for the Mets to win the
World Series. Nothing like a seven hundred and sixty five
million dollar contract sped over fifteen years to try and
level the playing field a bit, But the Mets still
not even the favorite to come out all of their
own divisions.
Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
That didn't change the odds. That didn't change they.
Speaker 7 (01:06:30):
It changed the odds a little bit, moves them from
ten to eight. But maybe this is why the Mets
went out there acquired Wan Soto, because once we get
the golden at bat rule, Wan Soda can come up
once every inning for the Mets, and it'll make it
completely worth their while, much like the old Bugs Bunny cartoon,
where you play every position on the field and bats
for every single spot in the battle like the.
Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Way you're thinking, Todd, have a great week, buddy. Thanks
for starting ours off the right way.
Speaker 7 (01:06:53):
Thanks all the pleasure boys, Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
That's Tod Furman joining us live from the tiraq dot
com studios. All right, let's get caught up. Steve Seger
is in the house with everything that has happened. Where
what Steve? Everything is now a final? Is everything now
a final?
Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
Probably?
Speaker 6 (01:07:09):
Not?
Speaker 4 (01:07:10):
Uh? Oh, what happened? That's a yes? There he is?
All right, there he is. What's going on? Steve? There
we go.
Speaker 8 (01:07:17):
And he did mention, by the way, about the Chiefs
are barely outscoring somebody. Also, for a team that started
twelve and one, Chiefs have by far the fewest takeaways
at this point of a great season, and the entire
Super Bowl era twenty takeaways at this point for a
great team was low. It's only ten takeaways for the Chiefs,
and yet they're getting these close games in the fourth
(01:07:38):
quarter and winning all of them.
Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
If you flipped the one score games right now, of
all the teams, the Chiefs would have the number one
pick in the draft. No, I'm serious, I just jeged
that out. Yes, they would have the number one pick
in the draft.
Speaker 4 (01:07:53):
They've had ten of them and they've won.
Speaker 8 (01:07:55):
All ten games decided by one score or less. Go
going back, the Chiefs have won fifteen straight, which is
the longest streak in the history of the league. But
I mean with the takeaways, let me put it this way,
ap really susted.
Speaker 4 (01:08:11):
Out very well.
Speaker 8 (01:08:12):
For a team that starts twelve and one, they usually
average about thirty takeaways for that great season.
Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
It's only ten for the Chiefs so far this year.
Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
So we don't know how they're doing it. We kind
of do.
Speaker 8 (01:08:26):
I mean, he wears number fifteen, but it's just amazing
what is going on. A thirty one yard field goal
on the final play beats the Chargers tonight nineteen to seventeen,
And just to add to the entertainment factor, the field
goal kick goes off the upright and through and then
the Chiefs clinched the AFC West title for a ninth
straight year. The Chiefs have had three different kickers now
(01:08:48):
make game winning field goals as time expired in the
fourth quarter this season. Butker Schrader matthew Wright, who was
four for four on field goals tonight. In NFL history,
he was ten years old.
Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
That guy he was on the field though, like, did
someone run on the field? Who is that guy? To
get him off the field?
Speaker 4 (01:09:04):
I think the pressure aged him tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
Get him off the field.
Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
He's a kid.
Speaker 8 (01:09:08):
He did make forty seven and fifty yarders tonight, which
turned out to be a key and a two point win.
But in NFL history, no other team has had more
than one kicker in a single regular season do this.
They've had three different guys already with the game winners
as time expire.
Speaker 4 (01:09:23):
In the fourth quarter.
Speaker 8 (01:09:24):
And of course today in the NFL we had the
Miami overtime win. Let's go, we had Detroit this weekend
with the kick at the end. So we can update
how many games decided by seven points or less this year.
It's one hundred and twelve, which ties for the twenty
sixteen season for the most such games at this point
of a season in the history of the league. The
(01:09:46):
Chiefs won a close game by two. The Rams won
a close game slightly higher scoring by two forty four
forty two. The final in La over Buffalo, which ends
the Bill's seven game winning streaks. Seattle and San Francisco
were each winners.
Speaker 4 (01:10:00):
By the way. A last note on the Bills.
Speaker 8 (01:10:02):
They're the first team in NFL history to get six
touchdowns in a game and no turnovers and not win
the game.
Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (01:10:09):
That's right now. Wow.
Speaker 8 (01:10:11):
The Philadelphia Eagles won They're ninth in a row twenty
two sixteen over Carolina. You mentioned the large wager Philly
was losing to start the fourth quarter at home. Minnesota
won at sixth in a row, beat Kirk Cousins in
Atlanta forty two to twenty one as Sam Darnold had
five touchdown passes. SMU and Clemson made the College Football Playoff.
Alabama and Miami were not selected. Produe's new head coaches,
(01:10:35):
Barry Odom from UNLV UCF introduced Scott Frost as head
coach in twenty seventeen. He led Central Florida to that thirteen.
Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
And o season.
Speaker 8 (01:10:43):
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham says he will be back for
a twenty first season there Tulane quarterback Darian Mensa plans
to transfer with three years of eligibility left. In the
NBA late game, the Lakers did not have Lebron James
out with a sore foot. Lakers are off until Friday,
and yeah, they're not in this NBA tournament that's gonna
continue with quarterfinals this week, so some time off, and
(01:11:06):
he took tonight off and the Lakers killed Portland anyway.
Final was one oh seven ninety eight with some late scoring,
but Anthony Davis thirty points. Denver's Nicola Jokic had forty
eight points in a win at Denver last night. Jokic
scored fifty six just last night, but they lost at Washington,
a Wizard's team that had dropped sixteen in a row. Tonight,
(01:11:28):
Denver shot sixty three from percent from the floor and
won at Atlanta one forty one to one eleven, ending
the Hawks six game winning streak. And Yes, the Mets
agreed to a fifteen year deal with outfielder Juan Soto,
worth seven hundred and sixty five million dollars, maybe more
now it could be less if he opts out after
five years, if they give him a raise and void
(01:11:50):
the opt out.
Speaker 4 (01:11:50):
It's it's more like eight hundred million back to you.
Oh gosh, that's it.
Speaker 3 (01:11:55):
I'm gonna have to go to a game now next year. Wow.
Speaker 4 (01:11:57):
Yeah, you're gonna have to help pay your salary. I
mean right, Oh my goodness, you want to hit a
couple of tweets here?
Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
You're getting a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
We have a lot today, so especially since we started
getting into the college football playoffs. Side my guy, Mustang
Mania rights, are you serious, Arnie? Before the Clemson loss,
SMU had one loss, not two or three and one
ten in a row, so please keep them out your mouth.
Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
Blake.
Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
You're right, we're gonna get crushed by Penn State. But
it's fun while it lasted. Well, hold on here, Mustang Media. Yeah,
I don't necessarily know that you're gonna get crushed. I
think I've done a one to eighty on that in
the ten minutes since I made that take. I think
of all the teams that, where's my little sheet in
the first round? I mean, Ohio State, Tennessee that's eight
and nine. I mean, I know, it's what six and
(01:12:41):
a half seven? Now, Clemson, Texas, Notre Dame, Indiana. I
honestly think Penn States might be the team or SMU
might be the team that could pull the upset.
Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
That's eight and a half right now, Penn State's update
and a half.
Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
In State's eight and a half. Yeah, you might be right.
Mustang Mania here, you disrespect s m U Arnie and
I'll continue to disrespect them, and when they lose, I'll
probably disrespect them more and win.
Speaker 3 (01:13:09):
I would have put at a batman there. What if
they win, I'll cut my arm off. There you go,
good bad. I'm justid No, you're not say like, who's
gonna come cut your arm off? I mean we still
willard owes us an arm. Okay, so we're good on that.
Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
And the fact that Brian No doesn't bring that up
on every single show enrages me on this network.
Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
I'm a writer, Rob jay Wright.
Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
No, CFPCE committee should have a member who is an
athletic director. And oh, by the way, eliminate all conference championships.
Here's the problem. I don't disagree with you as far
as the Playoff committee is concerned. I mean, but but
is the everyone's like, does the eye test even really exist?
Speaker 4 (01:13:52):
Is it still a mathematical formula? You follow it?
Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
I'm a complete and total nerd on this stuff. You
follow guys like Dave Bartwo and the College Football Made
They don't buy the eye test. They say, hey, it's
all a formula. They put these numbers in here by
being about to boom, it's out. The future of college
football conference championship games, I think is somewhat in peril.
Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
But they make too much money. They make too much money.
Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
Well, why do you say that it's somewhat.
Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
In peril Because you're going to have a sixteen team playoff, right,
and you're going to too so gosh, my math is
so terrible. Well, that had one more potential game for
each team. So you're getting up to where you'd be
playing almost an NFL schedule game wise, right if you
still have the championship game. So if you have twelve
games in the regular season, right, you get to the
(01:14:36):
actual championship game that's thirteen, right, and you're in a
sixteen team playoff that's gonna be what three games?
Speaker 4 (01:14:43):
Well, there be sixteen games.
Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
Yeah, but you might not win all three games. You
might lose in the first row.
Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
You got to look at it from the perspective of
how many maximum games.
Speaker 3 (01:14:51):
You can play Okay, okay, that's my opment.
Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
That's my opinion.
Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
So they're not going anywhere because they make too much
money off of them.
Speaker 4 (01:14:57):
That's just the reality of it. And Jason B.
Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Diamond rights BYU gets to play Colorado in the Alamo Bowl. Really,
you have so few teams to pick, two big twelve
teams have to play each other.
Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
Yeah, first time to look that up. I goes, that's
right if you make a mistake on that. I did,
because you know, I don't care about the other bowl games.
But how's that happen?
Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
I think it was some sort of deal that they
had set up for the Alamo Bowl because they had
plenty of teams to fill bowl slots. By the way,
there's not a five win team that made a Bowl game.
And then Bake writes Bake's on Fire tonight. Settled down
about the traditional rivals, Arnie. Remember the Seahawks used to
be division rivals with the Broncos in the NFL. Things
change and we get used to it. Hey, that was
(01:15:40):
a tough AFC West team back in the day.
Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
Who was crying about traditional rivals?
Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
You were, well were last segment You're like, oh, on
the traditional rivals and not going to matter anymore. It's like,
you know they still matter, right?
Speaker 2 (01:15:53):
You are you worried that people aren't going to care
about Ohio State and Michigan because of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
No, I just also thought that the difference championships. I
agree with the Texter. I think maybe we would have
to get rid of them and just move on from that.
Speaker 4 (01:16:05):
Well, they're not going anywhere, well, at least for now.
Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
When we come back to the tyrack dot Com studios,
let's get caught up on all the news numbers and
notes of the day with Steve Disager next on Fox
Sports Radio. All right, it's already in playing on the
Fox Sports Sunday Live from the Tyrack dot Com Studios studios.
Speaker 4 (01:16:21):
Sale to Steve de Sager. What's going on? Steve?
Speaker 8 (01:16:24):
You mentioned doing very well and what a weekend for
sports football specifically. And we'll start with college because you
mentioned Colorado against BYU and the Alamo Bowl near the
end of the month. Those two did not play each
other in that conference this year. BYU did not have
to schedule. BYU is scheduled to play a conference game
at Colorado next year. Among the bowl matchups, I did
(01:16:47):
see Oklahoma Navy in Fort Worth in late December and
the Somber twenty seventh the same day.
Speaker 4 (01:16:54):
Thank you yus CEE. SC is going to be in
the Las Vegas ball games Arizona Plane in our now, No,
you didn't have to go to be a douche about.
Speaker 8 (01:17:02):
It, Ahain Steve, I'm sorry, USC, Texas, A and M
in the Las Vegas Bowl Connecticut at Fenwahite Pack against
North Carolina in a bowl game Boston College not in
Boston at Yankee Stadium against Nebraska in late December.
Speaker 3 (01:17:14):
Maybe I'll go to that game.
Speaker 8 (01:17:16):
Baylor in Houston against LSU. Miami's bowl games in Orlando
against Iowa State, Florida Gators in a bowl game in
Tampa against Tulane. San Diego's Holiday Bowl will be on
Fox TV Syracuse against Washington State December twenty seventh. I
noticed Coastal Carolina's bowl game is in its own home
stadium against UDSA.
Speaker 3 (01:17:36):
I don't know there's much travelers there. Yeah, can't believe it.
Speaker 8 (01:17:41):
And yes, in Tampa we'll get Alabama Michigan on December
thirty first, same day we'll get South Carolina in Orlando
against Illinois. Now SMU is into the College Football Playoff.
SMU opens its postseason at Penn State. Clemson opens at
Texas on Saturday, the twenty first. Number one ranked Oregon
is all off until it's Rose Bowl quarterfinal. The Rose
(01:18:02):
Bowl will be Oregon against the winner of Tennessee at
Ohio State, which will be played in a couple weeks.
And Number two Georgia is off until it's Sugar Bowl
quarterfinal New Year's Night, and that'll be Georgia against the
winner of Indiana at Notre Dame, which will be a
Friday night game in about two weeks. I believe those
two have only played once since the nineteen fifties, even
though they're both in Indiana, so I invite that Tonight.
(01:18:25):
The Kansas City Chiefs clinch the AFC West title for
a ninth straight year. Belichick's Patriots had won a division
title eleven straight years through twenty nineteen. If you're looking
for a longest streak, but we had the highest scoring
game of the NFL season today in La Rams forty
four Buffalo forty two. The final we had Philadelphia extend
(01:18:45):
to a nine game winning streak. Detroit's Thursday Night win
was the lions eleventh straight victory. We also had the
Josh Allen day. I can't skip over that first player
in NFL history to have three touchdown passes and three
touchdown runs in the same game and he didn't win.
Rams win by two. Bill's seven game winning streak is
(01:19:07):
over Allen had three hundred and forty two yards passing
and on the ground ten carries and eighty two yards.
Speaker 3 (01:19:13):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (01:19:14):
The Jets are officially out of the playoff chase. So
this is fourteen straight seasons they have missed the playoffs.
That is the longest active streak. The Steelers, essentially before
Terry Bradshaw had gone twenty four straight years without playoffs,
and the old Saint Louis Cardinals through nineteen seventy four
had gone twenty five.
Speaker 3 (01:19:34):
Street Mu's easier now to make the playoffs.
Speaker 8 (01:19:36):
This, yes, absolutely, absolutely it is and people need to
mention that more when some of these stats get get mentioned,
because my goodness, it's seven per conference. I know we've
had expansion at all, but it's seven per conference that
make it. San Francisco is not out beat Chicago.
Speaker 4 (01:19:51):
Today. San Francisco hosts the Rams Thursday May good stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:20:44):
That's enough.
Speaker 3 (01:20:44):
I had to give myself a little break. I got
a lot of stuff going on this week.
Speaker 4 (01:20:48):
Oh you do? Plus?
Speaker 3 (01:20:49):
What know I got on my Hollywood elite friends are
in the studio, and I'm sure I'm gonna have to
be doing stuff for my new TV show coming up soon.
Speaker 4 (01:20:56):
And I think you need to stop claiming it's your show.
Speaker 3 (01:21:00):
I think you're I'm sure other people are gonna be
involved also, I just I'm more sure. I'm more excited
about you know who. My new Hollywood friends are gonna
be like like Ben a Flack, I'm gonna have to
make time to come out to LA and see the
guys and hang out with them.
Speaker 4 (01:21:14):
You're not leaving your house even if you become famous.
I want to.
Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
I'm gonna call you from Snoop's house and go, hey,
I'm with Snoop right now. Don't worry. I'm not inhaling.
But we're watching the game right now, watching this.
Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
You can inhale now. By the way, as our our
our loyal listener. Sooner, Lisa points out, yes, Snoop is
a Steelers.
Speaker 4 (01:21:35):
Fan, Arnie. He will not put up with your Miami Shenanigans.
Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
Wow, are you.
Speaker 4 (01:21:39):
Gonna suddenly bandwagon to the Steelers?
Speaker 3 (01:21:41):
No, then I won't watch the game with Snoop. Then
we can't do that. I'm sorry, step I can't be
friends with him.
Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
After a week fourteen, I know this. Let's get after.
We got a lot that we learned today. We got
a lot still to get to on the program, Arnie's
picture right around the corner. Whose season was saved, whose
season came to an end? Arniere, would you like to
start with week fourteen and what you learn and what
we know?
Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
Well, what I learned is when I keep telling you
every week, or at least the last couple of weeks,
and you've fought me on this, but it turned out
to be true. It's not going to be a great
race for the wild card in the AFC. I think
Denver's gonna have it done. It's gonna be the Colts
in Miami trying to catch everybody else to Miami has
a thirteen percent chance they lose the tiebreaker to the Colts.
(01:22:26):
The Colts only have like a twenty or twenty two chance.
I think we already know the teams that are going
to be in the AFC. For the most part, there's
just gonna be some you know, juggling around and where
they're going to be seeded. So not a lot of
great races wildcard wise in the AFC. NFC A little
bit of a different story when the Rams are number
(01:22:47):
eight and trying to catch the Commanders. But if the
Commanders keep on that same pace, might be the same problem.
Maybe the six and seven teams won't be able to
catch the Commanders because they're two games behind in the
Lost commum.
Speaker 2 (01:23:02):
Right now, I think, I think my personal favorite part
in all of this is you trying to tell me
a you told me whenever I've been sitting here begging
you not to think your Dolphins are in the playoff picture.
But yet you still fuck with me for most of
the first hour to say they were.
Speaker 3 (01:23:17):
I go on thirteen percent. Hands, I got to give
myself a little bit hope. Actually, I looked up to
one said twenty six, one said thirteen. I'm gonna think
thirteen percent chance. But it is gonna be It is
gonna be very tough for.
Speaker 4 (01:23:29):
Miami to do it.
Speaker 3 (01:23:30):
Yes, if not, even if they win, go ten and seven.
I don't think they have a good chance of making
I told you that even you have to you have
to go eleven and six. Remember when I said down
a couple of weeks ago. Now even ten and seven,
you're not going.
Speaker 2 (01:23:47):
Yeah, I don't remember that much all right, so after
you barely remember what you talked about in the first hour. Yeah,
but I remember that fighting me over the Dolphins. I
come with some audio help here too. Oh after week fourteen,
I know this, the Eagles are rolling, but there's there's
trouble in them waters in Philadelphia right now. Listen to
(01:24:11):
AJ brown little frustration afterwards today a little bit.
Speaker 3 (01:24:14):
What are some things you think they need to think
that the offense needs to improve on that I'm passing.
Speaker 4 (01:24:19):
Hey, j I know everybody wants to.
Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
Get in a rhythm, and you cant here this anology. You know,
the receivers, just like running backs, want to get in rhythm.
Speaker 4 (01:24:26):
How hard is it as a receiver to get into.
Speaker 5 (01:24:28):
A rhythm when you guys only throwing the book.
Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
At twenty times?
Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
Incredibly So, I'll save you the rest, Jim, because again
the audio is totally overmatched by the incredible jam in
the background right now.
Speaker 4 (01:24:41):
But when he asks what the problem is passing?
Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
I would ask how difficult it is to get in
sync whenever they're not throwing you the football?
Speaker 4 (01:24:49):
He said, incredibly difficult.
Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
Here's what Jalen Hurts had to say about Aj Brown
not getting the football enough.
Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
There's more to this.
Speaker 5 (01:24:57):
I'm solving anything.
Speaker 9 (01:24:58):
Everybody has a reason and to want more, you know,
it's a fair desire of being in food and as
to what we can be because we've done it.
Speaker 4 (01:25:05):
Just got to build, gotta progress, have to.
Speaker 9 (01:25:08):
Find a way to come together and come and sink
as a unit and play complimentary ball.
Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
So you say no problem here with the Eagles and
their concerns over throwing the football, the lacks of a
passing game right now.
Speaker 4 (01:25:21):
No, I'm not saying I think it's a bubbling issue already.
Speaker 3 (01:25:24):
I'm not saying no problem. I just don't make it
as big as you know what, If you're asking me
who has a bigger problem, Philadelphia or Kansas City, I
would say definitely Kansas City.
Speaker 4 (01:25:35):
Well, okay, the bigger problem.
Speaker 3 (01:25:37):
If you're asking me who has a chance to get
upset first, I would say Kansas City before Philadelphia. Though
there are pretty close. They're very close similarities in these
two teams, are they not?
Speaker 4 (01:25:50):
Or what they are? Do you know where the Eagles
rank as far as passing offense is concerned.
Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
Now, this is yards. This is yards passing this season
out of thirty two NFL teams. You know where they rank?
This is also yards per game?
Speaker 4 (01:26:04):
What twenty eighth, thirty first?
Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
Wow, they're thirty first in the NFL in yards per game.
Speaker 4 (01:26:12):
And yards passing?
Speaker 3 (01:26:13):
So how are they winning nine in a row? What's
Kansas City in the in that stat?
Speaker 4 (01:26:20):
Let's see Kansas City. Well, what's interesting is the Bengals
are number one, right, so that nothing. They're about fourteen
Kansas Okay?
Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
So are we so I mean, are we trying to
say that's that is meaningless? Or the quarterback doesn't that
that big of a meaning for how good the team's
gonna play, or that we talk about their defenses like,
I don't know what that's. I don't what I mean
something to win all those games in a row and
and have be so far down at number thirty one, I.
Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
Will say this, I don't know what it means. I
really don't accept this. They're not very good throwing the football.
I mean, it's just the reality of it. They're only
if you're two yards per game worse than the Bears, Titans,
and Giants. I mean the Panthers and the Colts are
ahead of them, for goodness sakes.
Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
I mean, if I'm playing Philadelphia, I'm putting eleven in
the box and then I'm running two more people on
the field just in case, and everybody's in the box,
and I'm gonna say, Okay, you throw it. I dare you.
I'm gonna treat you like Navy football or whatever. I'm
gonna you either throw it or you're gonna keep running
into my guys. I'm the only way I have to
(01:27:33):
do it otherwise where they can open.
Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
It up on the flip side of it. Do you
know who the best pass defense is in the NFL?
Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
Philadelphia?
Speaker 4 (01:27:41):
That's right. I knew it. I knew And they're also
they're number two in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
I'm sorry, they're number two in the NFL against the pass,
number one total defense overall, and I think they're top ten.
Speaker 4 (01:27:54):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
This doesn't have numbers next to their rankings, because why
would you you want to make us all count them.
They're eighth in the NFL against the run, and as
far as points are concerned, they are the fourth best
team in the NFL. So their offense isn't necessarily explosive,
but they're not making a bunch of mistakes and killing them,
so times wins championships.
Speaker 3 (01:28:16):
I guess is what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
Well, if you don't turn the ball over, Now, if
you have an offense, it turns the football over and
leaves you on the field for double the amount of
time of possession as the other team, then yeah, you're
probably gonna get screwed regardless of how good your defense is,
ARENI You're gonna be hosed on that front, right, So again,
after week fourteen, I don't know what to make of it,
(01:28:39):
but I'm keeping an eye on the issues that are
currently taking place with Philadelphia's passing offense after offensive attack
through the air.
Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
After Week fourteen, I know this, I've never seen more
disrespect to at eleven and two team. Then we give
them Minnesota five kicks? I just do we believe that.
Speaker 4 (01:28:57):
I'm sorry, Eric said we're not allowed to talk about him.
Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Eric can't spell his name correctly, says that we can't
talk about them anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:29:04):
We're like, we can't. You know, there's Sam Darnold's no good.
They're doing the smoking mirrors? How good really are they?
Speaker 7 (01:29:13):
Not?
Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
Only they're winning and they're doing it by a more
than one score. I just hope believe we give a
loven and two team like that no respect whatsoever?
Speaker 2 (01:29:22):
Well, I mean again, how many teams have they beaten
this year with the record of five hundred?
Speaker 4 (01:29:26):
Are better? They're kind of like the Dolphins of last year.
Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
Yeah only, I mean, and again, maybe that's a little
bit unfair because at the time they beat the Niners
in Week two, we thought the Niners are going to
be really good. But they have wins over the Texans
and the Packers, right, and that's it.
Speaker 4 (01:29:42):
But those are good wins. Right. They went to Green
Bay and beat Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
But they won six straight games now and not a
single one of the teams they've beat as a record
over five hundred Colts, Jaguars, Titans, Bears, Cardinals, Falcons.
Speaker 3 (01:29:54):
I guess, so, yeah, exactly. I love that.
Speaker 4 (01:29:58):
But I'm with you on them. I like them.
Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
I don't think they're doing anything in the playoffs. I
would get all my trash talk out of the way,
Boss Scott Shapiro's big Vikings fan, Eric with an a
big Vikings fan, I would get that all out of
the way.
Speaker 4 (01:30:13):
Now. I'd be letting everyone know how good you are
at this moment.
Speaker 3 (01:30:16):
Oh, it's not the Purple people leaders out there, that's
for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:30:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:30:19):
And by the way, I know that you were very
anti their defensive coordinator, your former coach of the Miami Dolphins.
I know we try to set up some sort of
controversy earlier this year between Brian Flores and Tua.
Speaker 4 (01:30:34):
He's done a pretty damn good job as a defensive
coordinator there.
Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
I'll say that, Hey, after Week fourteen, I know this,
and it does kind of pain me to say it.
I think the Raiders are cursed, Arnie. I think they're
absolutely positively cursed. There's no other way to put it.
There's no other way around it. They're just a cursed franchise.
Like I see my man Brendan Brendan textas every tweets
(01:30:58):
at us every.
Speaker 4 (01:30:59):
Single Sunday, and I feel his pain because that's my guy.
He's a fellow Raiders fan. I see Jason tweets out
us every single Sunday night. Pain Pain, Arnie. They're just
I think they're a cursed franchise.
Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
Yeah, but you got the game coming to begin.
Speaker 4 (01:31:14):
I have no idea what he was gonna say.
Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
The number one seed, right, say it again, you cut
out the game against Jacksonville. If you lose that game, you'llfit.
We have the number one seed.
Speaker 4 (01:31:25):
We play Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (01:31:28):
Yeah, you have Jacksonville coming up, don't there?
Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
You go, all right, we'll better lose that one. They
got Falcons next Monday night. Then they got Jacksonville, New
Orleans and Chargers. Now, if I was a real fan,
I would tell you those looks like that looks like
four winnable games. That looks like four winnable games. No, no, no, no,
those are four games that I need to see this
team lose. And you know what, I'm gonna be honest
with you. I wouldn't be mad if Antonio Pierce came
(01:31:51):
back next year. He's not going to He's gonna get fired.
Speaker 3 (01:31:54):
Why do you get fired? I thought if he was
gonna get fired, to be for Dion, But Dion makes
it sound like he's the going there.
Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
Well, why do you think it would be for Dion?
Who's making the calls for the Raiders?
Speaker 3 (01:32:05):
Now Tom Brady, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
Yes, why would he hire anyone but a Patriots dude?
He might try to hire Josh McDaniels again, for goodness sakes,
they're not gonna hire Deon. Dan's not gonna be an
NFL coach next year. I think he's gonna stay with
the Buffaloes. I really truly believe that. I don't think
he cares about coaching his kid in the NFL. I
think he wants his kid to be in a good situation,
which is why I think he likes Antonio Piers, which
could save his job and the Raiders. But I don't
(01:32:29):
think it's gonna save Pierce's job. So yeah, we're curised darning.
After week fourteen, I finally accepted it.
Speaker 3 (01:32:38):
You will get better with Sanders, though he's gonna make
you a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
I'm not counting out cam Ward. I'm not counting out
cam Ward either. I think he's a really good quarterback
if he ends up with the Giants. I think the
Giants got a good one too.
Speaker 3 (01:32:50):
I'm okay with the Ward. I just don't think he's
as good as Sanders. I'm definitely. I don't think it's
one eight one b. I think it's a one in
a two and sure do is going to be my
number one pick.
Speaker 4 (01:33:02):
All right?
Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
Anything else you want to add after week fourteen or
what you learned this weekend?
Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
No, it's just that you know the separation you're starting
to see out there, and you know we're not We're
not seeing some good matchups. They wanted to go ahead
and you know, flex out some games, but they really
couldn't because they couldn't get any other good matchups in
those spots, you know, are.
Speaker 4 (01:33:24):
You talking about it the primetime stuff?
Speaker 3 (01:33:25):
No, like these Sunday night games? And are the Monday
night time games?
Speaker 4 (01:33:31):
Aren't you? That's literally what I just said, though you.
Speaker 3 (01:33:33):
Meant like the one o'clock in the four o'clock Sundays?
Speaker 4 (01:33:36):
Is that prime time? Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:33:38):
Would you relax yourself? You get you got the Raiders.
Just go right to your brain now.
Speaker 2 (01:33:43):
I literally said the primetime games, and you're like, no, no, no,
not the primetime games, the primetime games.
Speaker 4 (01:33:49):
So what you don't think we're getting good enough? Man?
You didn't think that was a good game tonight?
Speaker 3 (01:33:53):
Tonight was a good game. Tonight was a good matchup. Yes,
we had a good one tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:33:57):
You don't you don't like next week's matchup? Do you
know what next week's matchup is? You're complaining about. You're
complaining about primetime matchups. So you don't even know the
damn primetime matchup.
Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
It's the Cowboys, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:34:10):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (01:34:11):
The Cowboys. Don't play primetime next.
Speaker 4 (01:34:13):
Week, they don't play on Sunday night. It's your worthless
producer's favorite football team. That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:34:18):
Someone else, Packers, Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (01:34:21):
Well, I guess your idea of primetime. It's noon on
it's noon Central Time, so that's primetime. In Arnie's world.
They play the Panthers next week, so that's primetime.
Speaker 4 (01:34:30):
Right. Why are you complain about these primetime matchups? That's
a great that's two good teams.
Speaker 3 (01:34:37):
That's a really good matchup. And we have what a
double Monday night game your Raiders play on the Monday night.
Speaker 4 (01:34:43):
Oh, the Monday night games suck next weekend.
Speaker 3 (01:34:46):
You just got done. Tell me how great the primetime
games are.
Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
Sunday night game, You're not gonna hit them all. You
got sixteen games, they're gonna be played next weekend. Your
Thursday night games not too bad either, Rams Niners after
what I just saw from the Rams, and you're building
them up earlier.
Speaker 3 (01:35:01):
We could do better on matchups. I keep saying. The
Monday night games are horrible matchups?
Speaker 4 (01:35:06):
All right? Good stuff? That is what we learned through
Week fourteen.
Speaker 3 (01:35:10):
Like so frustrated with it.
Speaker 4 (01:35:12):
I just I get so angry at you because you
say something and I don't think you know what you're saying.
I don't You're about time matchups, and they're great matchups.
Speaker 3 (01:35:21):
I'm gonna say the opposite, just the big plague, just go.
Speaker 4 (01:35:24):
Great Broncos and Chargers.
Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
Is the Thursday night game in a in not this
coming week, but in a week that's like.
Speaker 3 (01:35:30):
The Packers Seahawks. I don't even think that's a great matchup.
Speaker 4 (01:35:33):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (01:35:35):
He doesn't watch the NFL, He watches the rest. It's
not Dolphins football.
Speaker 4 (01:35:40):
It's not the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
So it doesn't matter right now, is what it basically
comes down to. Well, then let me let me get
let me ask you a question. Then if if two
teams playing each other next Sunday night that are both
in the play and I mean both are right there
in the hunt, not just for a playoff spot with
their division, you got eight and five verses nine and four, INCA.
That's not good enough for you.
Speaker 3 (01:36:02):
No, that's okay. You know the Monday night games are horrible.
Speaker 4 (01:36:05):
Okay, it's okay.
Speaker 5 (01:36:07):
Nothing is ever good enough for him.
Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
You get the Bills and the Lions that CBS is like,
that's our game. You get the Steelers in the Eagles
next week. Fox is like, that's our game. No Monday
night games of the.
Speaker 3 (01:36:24):
Bills and the Lions would have been a good Sunday
night game. That would have been nice.
Speaker 2 (01:36:27):
But you've got to also take care of your afternoon slot.
You gotta take care of CBS and Fox too. You
just can't give everything to primetime.
Speaker 3 (01:36:35):
No, I understand that that would have been a better
matchup though if I was doing this Sunday night.
Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
Oh my gosh. After Week fourteen. I'll add one more
thing here. I know this, I know that day don't
play until Monday night football. But I'm glad people are
actually starting to realize how incredible Joe Burrow's season has
been in the face of absolute adversity. I don't know
what's going wrong for the Bengals this season, but and
he's not going to be in the MVP picture, But
(01:37:01):
I am glad people are starting to realize how impressive
his season is pinned. And I'll tell you this much, Arnie,
I don't necessarily know if anyone's running away with the
MVP right now, even though six touchdowns today, three rushing,
three throwing, eve though it's getting lost right now, pretty
damn impressive right now for Josh Allen. But numbers wise, man,
what a year for Joe Burrow so far. I know
(01:37:23):
it's not a massive matchup. It's the Cowboys, so we'll
do big numbers. Cincinnati's a five and a half point favorite.
But I'm excited to see what Burrow can do on
Monday Night football. They can't try to save something for
the Bengals anything else from week fourteen for you.
Speaker 3 (01:37:35):
No, that's a beautiful matchup. Good primetime matchup on that
one too. Way to point that one out. I just
want to throw that in there.
Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
Right literally, you thought a primetime matchup was three in
the afternoon, All right? When we come back to the
tyrack dot com studio, So let's hit your tweets next.
Right here on Fox Sports Radio, Cowbird does point out
on the x plank you think the Raiders are cursed?
How about being a Browns fan? Can you guys at
least won a playoff game a couple of years ago.
(01:38:02):
You're it's your own fault, you guys. Put it on
Baker Mayfield. I mean, that's your problem.
Speaker 3 (01:38:09):
I have a number. I have a good number for you.
Speaker 4 (01:38:11):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (01:38:12):
I don't know if you saw I retweeted this out.
I can't I can't do it all because I don't
want to just go through a whole bunch of names,
but nineteen ninety, Listen to these names, Okay, nineteen ninety
Eddie Murray, Don matting Leandre Dawson, Dave Winfield, Tim Raines,
Dale Murphy, Pedro Guerrero, Darryl Strawberry, Dave Steve, Daveorghetti, Bruce Souter,
(01:38:35):
George Brett, Willie McGee, Bruce Hurst, Olan, Ryan, Carnie glands For,
Dad Quisenberry, Tony Gwynn, Kirk Gibson, and a few other more.
Those were the top twenty five players in baseball. You
had them all up, they don't come out to the
fifty one million that what Soto's making of this year.
How about that? That's that was the top twenty five
(01:38:56):
back in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (01:38:57):
Fifteen years, seven hundred and sixty five million dollars. There's
an opt out after five seasons for Soto.
Speaker 3 (01:39:05):
Well, think of the top salary Eddie Murray two point
seven million.
Speaker 4 (01:39:11):
So that was was he with the Brat, was he
so with the Oriols? Or was he with Dodgers? By
the Dodgers?
Speaker 3 (01:39:16):
Dodgers. So that's that's only thirty four years ago to
go from two point seven million to fifty one million.
Speaker 4 (01:39:24):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:39:25):
Wow, I love that Dodgers team. By the way, that
was one of my favorite Dodgers teams out sixteen years old.
Speaker 3 (01:39:31):
What nineteen ninety Dodgers?
Speaker 4 (01:39:34):
Well, I thought you said ninety one.
Speaker 3 (01:39:35):
Oh whatever, yeah, ninety ninety one.
Speaker 4 (01:39:37):
Whatever. It's a difference between Brett Butler being on the
team and him not. Brett Butler was a center fielder.
You know, we played wiffle ball a lot whenever we
were kids, not like you kids in your iPads today.
Speaker 2 (01:39:52):
And Cal Daniels was the Dodgers left fielder, and he
had a very unique stance I'm doing it right now
where he would like stand straight up kind of wave
that bat right one. Samuell was a Dodger in nineteen ninety, Arnie,
did you know that nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3 (01:40:06):
One Philly wasn't he want Samuell?
Speaker 4 (01:40:08):
No, ex everything.
Speaker 2 (01:40:09):
What are you talking about with walk? What team didn't
he play for? In fact, you were trying to make
this the nineteen ninety Dodgers. You gotta remember Wan Samuell
went from being the center fielder in nineteen ninety to
be in the starting second basement in nineteen ninety one.
It's like they were doing all the things then that
they're doing now. Let's go the ace on the nineteen
(01:40:30):
ninety one Dodger Staff, Tim Belcher, Yeah, good, Wow. Anything
else you want to know about the nineteen nine that's about.
Speaker 3 (01:40:38):
That's about everything.
Speaker 1 (01:40:39):
I do.
Speaker 2 (01:40:39):
You think that's about when I fell out of love
with baseball. Mantam Finnis rights. The Vikings didn't choose their
schedule or their opponents. They are just going out there
and winning, whether it's ugly or not.
Speaker 4 (01:40:50):
Artie is right.
Speaker 2 (01:40:51):
They're just like Rodney Dangerfield. Can't get no respect around here,
playing and simple, they win.
Speaker 3 (01:40:56):
I can see how Viking fans feel like that, Chris.
They right now they have the best chance of reaching
a super Bowl in a long long time.
Speaker 4 (01:41:05):
This could be their year. Enjoy it now. That's all
I'll say.
Speaker 2 (01:41:10):
Josh Wright's next week Colts in Denver. If Colts win,
they'll take the seventh seat. Look at each team's remaining schedule.
Speaker 4 (01:41:18):
I think you're the.
Speaker 3 (01:41:19):
Man who's got a fairly easy one. I don't have
it up in front of me, but I think it's
somewhat easy if I remember.
Speaker 2 (01:41:24):
As it stands right now, as far as the when
we get to football, I want to say Western Conference
all the time for the AFC. But as it stands
right now, the Colts sit at six and seven, same
as the Dolphins, two games back of the eight and
five Chargers, Ravens, Broncos, Texans obviously are more of the division.
Speaker 4 (01:41:46):
Here's what the Colts have left.
Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
Broncos next week, Oh my gosh, Arnie, then the Titans,
the Giants, and the Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (01:41:56):
You can't pick an easier schedule with Broncos. They couldn't
play the Raiders three times. I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (01:42:02):
Originally not Bronco's. On the other hand, you said they
had a pretty easy schedule.
Speaker 3 (01:42:07):
I thought they did.
Speaker 4 (01:42:08):
Okay, you tell me how you feel about this.
Speaker 2 (01:42:10):
Colts at the Chargers at the Bengals home for the Chiefs.
Wrong about that one, but you might be right about
the Chiefs. What will the Chiefs have to play for
on January fifth?
Speaker 4 (01:42:22):
Anything?
Speaker 3 (01:42:22):
Still, that's a tough go on.
Speaker 2 (01:42:25):
So Denver's got a tough go around on January fifth
to go up against Carson Wentz and the Chiefs at home.
Because Mahomes is out and Kelsey's out and Chris Jones
is gonna sit out.
Speaker 4 (01:42:35):
I mean, as it stands right now, the Chiefs might
not have to play their starters for the last.
Speaker 2 (01:42:40):
Two weeks of the season. They still will, They still will.
But I guess my point is I'm trying to have
you back on this one a little bit. It might
be a little easier than it looks right now.
Speaker 3 (01:42:49):
Is that looking good for Miami to get in after
what that schedule for the Colts is, that's for sure?
Speaker 4 (01:42:54):
And they're so the Colts.
Speaker 2 (01:42:55):
Dude, Josh, you might be onto something so much for
you saying that it's over so much for that Arnie huh.
Speaker 4 (01:43:02):
And then one more here the.
Speaker 2 (01:43:07):
Man Brendan rights idea to fix the college football playoff.
Make it so that the conference champs are only guaranteed
a spot in the playoff, and not the first round
by they have to earn the first round by by
being one of the top four teams in the.
Speaker 4 (01:43:21):
Nation after the regular season.
Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
Oh, I agree, Well a white man, Wait a minute, then,
if you have to win the conference championship to earn
a bye, right, is that what he's saying.
Speaker 4 (01:43:33):
Well, you have to be a top four seed is
basically what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (01:43:37):
Well, then you're going to give it to teams that
didn't want to finish second in the SEC.
Speaker 4 (01:43:41):
Then maybe they're the better teams. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:43:45):
I'm not against that. I just wanted them to realize
what he's saying, though.
Speaker 2 (01:43:49):
You have to earn the first round by by being
one of the top four teams in the nation after
the regular season.
Speaker 3 (01:43:54):
Could you be in the top four in the regular
nation if you don't win your conference championship? I guess you.
Speaker 4 (01:44:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44:01):
Texas was three in the College Football Playoff Franklins today
and Penn State was four. Yep, which, by the way,
I still don't know how Penn State was four.
Speaker 4 (01:44:11):
Okay, can you explain that to me?
Speaker 3 (01:44:14):
I felt they were great. I didn't think I didn't
expect them to be there, but I was cut by
surprise on that.
Speaker 4 (01:44:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44:18):
And if you're wondering what we're talking about, because the
playoff seedings, Oregon's one, Georgia's is two, Texas is five,
and Penn State is six, followed by Notre Dame at seven,
Ohio State at eight, Tennessee at nine, and Indiana at ten.
Speaker 3 (01:44:33):
What were you thought the numbers? You thought Penn State
should be at seven? In Notre Dame in six.
Speaker 2 (01:44:38):
No, no, no, I'm talking about the actual rankings when
they gave them out. Oregon was one, Georgia was two,
Texas was three, Penn State was four, with Notre Dame
at five. Like, make it make sense. It just makes
because three and four were the other conference champions, right,
exactly right, so Texas was at three. I just make
it makes sense? Just no sense whatsoever? All right here
(01:45:03):
to make sense for us? One final time tonight is
the great Steve de Seger with everything that's trending in
the world of sports. What's going on, Steve, And.
Speaker 8 (01:45:10):
As we mentioned earlier in the show, Number one organ
is off until it's Rose Bowl quarterfinal. Number two Georgia
is off until it's Sugar Bowl quarterfinal. Also getting first
round byes today, conference champions Boise State it'll be in
the Fiesta Bowl New Year's Eve, and Arizona State, which
is won six in a row, it'll be in the
Peach Bowl. And as far as the AFC playoff chase,
(01:45:31):
those four teams that are eight and five right now,
that those could be the last four teams into the postseason.
No Colts, no Dolphins. Colts and Dolphins reached two games back.
And keep in mind, for Miami, Colts have already beaten
the Dolphins head to this yright exactly. So yeah, Miami
won an overtime game.
Speaker 4 (01:45:48):
They're gonna need some help.
Speaker 8 (01:45:50):
I mentioned earlier in the show that the Ravens a
couple Monday nights ago did beat the Chargers head to head.
That's why the Ravens have the five seed right now
and the Chargers down to six after tonight's loss. Chargers
versus Broncos head to head in LA on a Thursday
night game in a week and a half. That game
was flexed from a Sunday to a Thursday night. So
good luck to all of you people pining tickets that
(01:46:12):
thinking you were going to a weekend game. Now you
have to go on a workday at five o'clock near
the LA Airport. There's no traffic whatsoever, none, zero.
Speaker 4 (01:46:21):
Good luck.
Speaker 8 (01:46:22):
The Chiefs beat the Chargers tonight nineteen to seventeen on
a thirty one yard field goal on the final play
in typical Chiefs fashion, it to hit the upright and
then went through Matthew Wright four for four on field goals.
Wide receiver Lad mcconkee of LA was out with a
knee and shoulder problem. Chargers in the first half had
six drives, six first downs, and then after halftime their
(01:46:43):
first two drives two touchdowns. Chargers had the late lead,
but a fourteen play drive ended the game for the Chiefs.
They took up the last four to thirty five on
the clock, kicked a field goal to win nineteen to seventeen.
And then there's the final score. In La Rams forty
four Buffalo forty two. Rams had been up thirty one
to fourteen in the third quarter. The Bill's seven game
(01:47:06):
winning streak is over Matthew Stafford three hundred twenty yards
passing two touchdowns. In Stafford's last four games, He's up
to ten touchdowns no interceptions. Rams had a touchdown in
the first half on a block punt return and wound
up winning by two. Seattle won at Arizona thirty to eighteen.
Kyler Murray has lost seven straight head to head against Seattle.
(01:47:28):
This Seahawks could be winning this division. Somebody has to.
Seattle is five and one on the road this year.
San Francisco completely dominated the Bears in the first half.
Is twenty four to nothing at the break, thirty eight
to thirteen the Final. Chicago has lost seven straight. Caleb
Williams was sacked seven times, one fumble. He's been sacked
fifty six times this year. We still get a few
(01:47:49):
games to go. In the first half, San Francisco out
gained them three hundred and nineteen yards to four. Bears
had one first down in the first half. Today they
are still winning on the road. Oh and six. And
then there's the New York Giants. They are winless at
home this season.
Speaker 4 (01:48:06):
Oh and seven.
Speaker 8 (01:48:07):
Now lost at home to the Saints fourteen eleven. And yes,
quarterback Derek Carr the Saints with a possible broken left
hand and concussion. New Orleans blocked a field goal in
the final seconds, a thirty five yard attempt fourteen eleven
The final. Giants have lost eight straight. Overall, they committed
twelve penalties today. Quarterback Drew Locke started oh of eight
passing in the first quarter. Jacksonville had lost five in
(01:48:30):
a row, but won a ten to six final at
Tennessee Tank bigsby a touchdown run with about seven minutes left.
It was the only touchdown of the whole game. Jacksonville
in the first half ten carries nine yards rushing and
mac Jones had thrown two interceptions and they still wind
up winning. Las Vegas has lost nine in a row.
Lost at Tampa Bay twenty eight to thirteen. In the
(01:48:52):
first quarter. It was first downs eleven to one for
the Bucks, yardage one fifty four to fourteen the Raiders
eventually Baker Mayfield three touchdowns and three turnovers. Las Vegas
quarterback Aidan O'Connell was carted off late third quarter with
a knee injury. In an air cast, he had one
costly red zone interception that ended a ten minute drive
(01:49:14):
to open the second half.
Speaker 2 (01:49:16):
He threw it right to him. He threw it right
to the dude disager. I threw my remote when that happened.
Speaker 4 (01:49:23):
Suck.
Speaker 8 (01:49:24):
The Raiders on red zone tds were one for four today.
But oh my gosh, on the positive side, there is none.
They had only had five takeaways all year, worse than
the league. They had three in the first half against
Baker Mayfield today thanks BA. Of course, they had a
couple more turnovers, So that's twenty five turnovers for the Raiders.
Speaker 4 (01:49:43):
So for bad Steve thinks count.
Speaker 8 (01:49:46):
Minnesota won at six straight forty two to twenty one,
beating Kirk Cousins in Atlanta, Sam Darnold five touchdown passes,
three to Jordan Addison, two to Justin Jefferson. Did you
know Justin Jefferson is already up to seven thousand career
receiving yards. Wow, seventy three games, seven thousand career receiving yards.
It took Lance all where seventy two games. By the way,
(01:50:08):
the Hall of Famer AFL receiver for the Chargers, which
is doubly impressive because you can hit the receiver all
the way down the field back then, and he was
still putting up numbers. The Miami win was in overtime
against the Jets thirty two to twenty six. Jets had
a field goal in the last minute of regulation for
a brief lead. Dolphins tied it with a fifty two
yard field goal late in regulation, got the game winning
(01:50:29):
touchdown pass on the only drive of overtime.
Speaker 3 (01:50:32):
See this is what you're missing about that tiebreaker. The
Colts win the division, Houston drops back to the wild
card And wait a minute, and Miami plays the Texans
this week. If they beat them, they'll get the tiebreaker
over the Texans. That's how you do it.
Speaker 8 (01:50:50):
But of the non division winners in the AFC, the
Ravens are looking the best because right now five versus four,
that means the five seed Ravens will be playing the
worst division winner as it stands right.
Speaker 4 (01:51:02):
Now if they make it. Yes, I will note as
far as the you.
Speaker 3 (01:51:05):
Have a hard schedule if I remember correctly, but I
could be wrong.
Speaker 4 (01:51:10):
Correctly, that could be good. That could be that sense
right there? Whose schedule is in together?
Speaker 3 (01:51:15):
They got the Giants, the Steelers, the Texans in the Browns. Okay,
it's not that tough. It's I'm wrong again now about that.
Speaker 4 (01:51:26):
As I recall, but I could be wrong.
Speaker 8 (01:51:28):
That could apply to pretty much anything everything anyway, Can
I note? As the Jets lost in overtime at Miami,
Aaron Rodgers had had thirty four straight starts with under
three hundred yards passing over the last three years until today.
Speaker 4 (01:51:43):
Yeah, I was congratulations. Defense.
Speaker 8 (01:51:48):
The Mets did agree to a fifteen year deal with
outfielder Juan Soto. My goodness, college hoops Missouri beat number
one Kansas.
Speaker 2 (01:51:56):
Back to you, Thanks Steve, have a great week, buddy,
Thanks you. Next Sunday, is there any I noticed here?
I think we've hit most of the Roman numerals right,
what we learned at We.
Speaker 3 (01:52:05):
Didn't even put Kirk Kurbstreet's Sun signed with Michigan if
anybody cares.
Speaker 4 (01:52:10):
I saw that, especially after the Bryce Senderwood stuff where
he got what twelve million dollars. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:52:18):
My thinking is maybe Chase is into it for the
four year run and the other one is only going
to stay around a year or two and try to
go to the NFL, or two or three years and
go to the NFL.
Speaker 2 (01:52:28):
I think he hates his dad, so he's going to Michigan.
To put it in his face, they'd be like my
son going to like Texas.
Speaker 4 (01:52:35):
I'm like, what are you doing? Kid?
Speaker 2 (01:52:36):
He looks at me and goes, I want to win.
Dad like shut up? But no, I yeah, that threw
me off a little bit. I didn't I didn't know
he was that good.
Speaker 4 (01:52:45):
To be honest, I don't know that he is.
Speaker 3 (01:52:47):
Well, he's going to Michigan.
Speaker 4 (01:52:49):
I mean is.
Speaker 2 (01:52:51):
Why would you go to a place where it seems
like to have Okay, hold on, let me pause for
a moment, because I just almost said why would you
go to a place where it appears that they have
a set starter when now almost a decade ago. That's
what Baker Mayfield did when he went to Oklahoma. So
maybe I need to check myself on that one a
little bit. But I'm gonna say, why would you go
to place where they feel like they have a set starter?
Speaker 4 (01:53:12):
Arnie? Why would you do that.
Speaker 3 (01:53:15):
Because he thinks he's not going to be in there
for the entire four years?
Speaker 4 (01:53:20):
Who would you vote for? Heisman? Would hit Arnie Spaniards?
Speaker 3 (01:53:26):
Vote for heist from Boise? I would give it to him.
Speaker 4 (01:53:30):
Would you?
Speaker 3 (01:53:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:53:32):
I submitted my vote tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:53:34):
Oh did you?
Speaker 4 (01:53:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:53:37):
By the way, vote you can't tell us who you
voted for.
Speaker 2 (01:53:39):
You're right, I can't. But I voted for gent number one.
What number one in the rushing attempts yards, yards from scrimmage, touchdowns,
touchdowns from scrimmage, total touchdowns, total points. And he was
part of a top five offense every week that he
went up against. Every team that he played, their number
(01:54:00):
uber one goal was to stop him, right and they
couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (01:54:03):
Played well against Oregon.
Speaker 2 (01:54:05):
He's going to break the single season rushing record potentially.
So yeah, I like him a lot.
Speaker 3 (01:54:10):
So I'm going to get a great steal with him
because with the overvalue of quarterbacks, says, those two are
the first two picks you got, Hunter, you always want
to take. Maybe there's a couple of wide receivers that
are going to be taking you know, reached on so
you can get this this kid, like the eight, nine
or ten pick I keep.
Speaker 2 (01:54:31):
Now, you know I am already all in on the draft,
right I know that. Of course I'm already nerded out.
There is a buzz that he could be a top
five pick. Oh really, can you imagine a running back
going in the top five? The analytic people would lose
it loving.
Speaker 3 (01:54:46):
Mind, like number nine or number ten is what I
was hearing.
Speaker 2 (01:54:49):
By the way, there's plausible deniability if you guys try
to clip this and say, look, Chris Plank is telling
you his vote. I just I just said I had
him on my ballot. I had three choices there. I
didn't say who I picked my vote. But right now
I was looking at tankethon Am as a top ten pick,
aren't you I think he's going to go in the
top five?
Speaker 5 (01:55:06):
Wait, you have a Heisman vote? Yes, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (01:55:10):
I told you it before that I was talking to
you about him.
Speaker 3 (01:55:12):
I'm the only one that doesn't have a vote for anything.
Speaker 4 (01:55:15):
And let's keep it that way.
Speaker 2 (01:55:17):
Yeah, I'm asking you, well, I had who's to say
I've submitted it yet.
Speaker 5 (01:55:21):
I really didn't know you had to vote though, because tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:55:27):
Turners in. You should get yours taken away.
Speaker 4 (01:55:30):
You should have the people that listen.
Speaker 2 (01:55:34):
It's a great balance between not putting too much on
Championship weekend and having Championship weekend as a gauge. Right
when when you have a running back like Gent that
UNLV had shut down earlier this year, and by shutting down,
he still ran for over one hundred yards and he
goes for.
Speaker 4 (01:55:49):
Over two bills against him, I mean, come on.
Speaker 2 (01:55:52):
Arnie, that's that's your dude right there, especially when and
by the way, Dylan Gabriel not getting enough Heisman love
for what he's done this year, not enough, and Shad
Door Sanders everyone's losing their mind over Travis Hunter. Dude,
look at your Door's numbers. And I'm not just saying
that because he's a future Raider, Arnie. He's worthy of
Heisman conversations.
Speaker 3 (01:56:12):
Oh, absolutely worthy of it. But I'd still give it to.
Speaker 2 (01:56:15):
Yeah, I still think in the end it is gonna
end up being Travis Hunter is the guy that's that's
got the big numbers right now.
Speaker 4 (01:56:20):
But do not rule out Ashton Genty. I think he's
got a chance to win.
Speaker 2 (01:56:24):
This thing because but by the time we reconvene next weekend, well,
another winner.
Speaker 4 (01:56:29):
Of the Heisman Trophy.
Speaker 3 (01:56:30):
Oh rightow, they'll announce it next Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (01:56:33):
That's true, all right, when we come back to the
tyrack dot com studios. I don't know if it's still
after he is what two and six performance this weekend
in college football?
Speaker 4 (01:56:41):
I don't know if it's still what you dont care for?
One to three?
Speaker 2 (01:56:44):
I'm sorry, but Arnie's picks are coming up next on
Fox Sports Radio, So I gotta know Arnie throughout the
show tonight, where Mary Matt crushed it, where Patrick Swaka
was incredible, Steve de Seger was on point on updates, yes,
and are behind the scenes audio crew gave un incredible audio.
(01:57:06):
Were you just wearing out your Hollywood friend asking her like, Hey,
that's not good?
Speaker 4 (01:57:10):
Happy? Is it gonna be the Arnie Show? Were you
just wearing them out?
Speaker 3 (01:57:14):
I wanted to find out more stuff about it.
Speaker 5 (01:57:16):
Yeah, go ahead, Mary, before he lies to you. He
was he was.
Speaker 3 (01:57:19):
He was definitely and forth. You know, this is gonna
be a big figure for me. You know, it's not
too many times. I could become television famous where they're
writing a TV show about me and I could hang
out with people like Matt Damon and Ben Aflac and
Snoop and but again those guys.
Speaker 2 (01:57:35):
Is it the Arnie Spaniers show starring Arnie Spaniard. I mean,
that's the only way you're gonna end up in that
kind of position.
Speaker 1 (01:57:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:57:41):
If they want to use me as Arnie Spaniard, that's
the problem.
Speaker 4 (01:57:45):
Then how are you gonna have Hollywood friends?
Speaker 3 (01:57:49):
I could have a recurring role and.
Speaker 4 (01:57:51):
Say, okay, there you go, there's a there's a possibility.
Speaker 3 (01:57:54):
Yeah, I could have that. I don't know if they
believe that I'm a talk show host, that could be
your problem. I don't know if I can play a
talk I don't know if I can play a talk
show host on TV.
Speaker 6 (01:58:05):
But like, are you sure you want to be like
a washed up Hollywood person? You cause your point, you know,
they have their ups and downs. You'll end up I
don't know, like Britney Spears, but.
Speaker 3 (01:58:14):
You said you feel that they feel confident they're gonna
get this on TV, right.
Speaker 4 (01:58:17):
You know why.
Speaker 5 (01:58:18):
I don't know why you're repeating things that said off air.
Speaker 2 (01:58:20):
On you listen, we got to get to your picks, Arnie.
You only got a couple of minutes left, So take
it away. Where do you want to start?
Speaker 3 (01:58:30):
Obviously there's no college, so we'll start with the game tomorrow.
I'm gonna take Dallas plus the five and a half
at home again Cincinnati. I think that's some good value there.
One game, Chris. You know what that one game in
college is, don't you. That's right? Take an Army wall
in five and a half. Why you're an Army guy,
(01:58:52):
I know that, right.
Speaker 2 (01:58:54):
I forgot to mention while you say that, I actually,
uh may or not have bryceon daily on my Heisman ballot.
Speaker 4 (01:59:02):
He's the quarterback for Army. He's a stud.
Speaker 3 (01:59:04):
Wow. I would have taken Miami Dolphins plus the two
and a half at Houston will give me the Lions
laying two and a half against the Buffalo Bills. And
I love the Pittsburgh Steelers plus four and a half
on the road in Philadelphia. Take it on the Eagles.
So there you have my pigs. Two of them as
you please. No longer strictly Fred Entertainment purposes only.
Speaker 4 (01:59:24):
Nothing on the NBA and your boys going for the
crown in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (01:59:30):
No, nothing, Nothing on the end.
Speaker 4 (01:59:31):
Mid the end season tournament. Is it doing it for you? No?
Speaker 3 (01:59:35):
I know where We're we four and oh or something?
Speaker 4 (01:59:37):
Yeah, Biggs, I mean the NBA Cups. We're getting there, dude.
Speaker 3 (01:59:43):
Well, pop down campaign? Does that count on my parlay
card that the Knicks won at all?
Speaker 4 (01:59:50):
I don't believe that it does.
Speaker 3 (01:59:51):
No, that doesn't count.
Speaker 4 (01:59:52):
But your Knicks play the Hawks in the first round
coming up? When is that? Is that later this week? Yeah?
That's on. That's on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (02:00:01):
Can't wait.
Speaker 4 (02:00:01):
Can't believe you didn't pick Your Knicks are an eight
and a half point favorite.
Speaker 2 (02:00:04):
All right, We'll have a great week, Arnie, enjoy big
Ben Mallor is coming up next for Mary, for Patrick
for a great Joble's see to say you're tonight for
Arnie Spaniel, I'm Chris play. Have a great week, everybody.
We'll be back next Sunday Night. Recap in week fifteen
on Fox Sports Radio.
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
And let's go stick a genius's boy. Let's go on
a Sunday night into a Monday morning. We've got Week
fourteen of the NFL season to recap. We got a
great game that's ongoing as we speak. The Chargers have
just retaken a lead, as you heard Steve de Segre
tell you, seventeen sixteen Los Angeles with four thirty five
(00:25):
to go in the game. We've got college football playoff
action ready. Let's roll, but Arnie, as we come to
you live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyrack dot
com will help you get there at unmatched the selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Tyreck dot com the way tire buying should
be Wan Soto. Hey, now that for your Mets.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Wow, that isn't can what it was like about a
half hour a go, this story broke and I saw
it coming across on Twitter, and I wanted to make
sure I wasn't getting duped. And I had to wait
till like there was four other reports that had it
done fifteen years set what at seven hundred and sixty
five million Earth? What the SA said, that's a lot
of money. Look, I like having him on the team
(01:09):
that let's not lie about that. But there's no way
he's worth that type of money even if he hits
what forty home runs one hundred and twenty RBIs one
hundred and twenty five RBIs and Bat's two ninety. Is
that worth fifty million in one year to a seven
hundred and sixty five million That that's insane. I just
(01:30):
I don't know where the money's coming from. Chris. I
was told that eggs are expensive, and people can't afford stuff,
and millennials can't get homes, and where's all the money
coming from to afford these contracts? I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Rich owners. I mean, is it that hard to understand?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
What?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Are are you okay over there?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I mean, I know you've got Hollywood on your mind,
but you're really confused as to where this money is
coming from. In Major League Baseball right now, it's Steve
co It's he's decided that he's gonna buy everybody, and
I guess there's unlimited funds on that front for Steve Cohen,
and he's he's gonna do it. I mean, I don't
(02:12):
if you're are you how about this? Let me let
me just post this because I don't want to get
bogged down on baseball talk tonight. It's week fourteen in
the ENNA, right, and we got to college football playoffs.
You don't really, right, but and I guess maybe you
could claim your nicks are great because they might win
the playing tournament whatever. But by the way, this deal
has escalators in it that could reach over eight hundred
million dollars. Eight hundred million dollars. Aren't he spani your
(02:35):
from a major league baseball player? Does he make your
team better? Of course he makes the team. Why are
you complaining about it?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I'm just saying, you know, because I was also talking
about this as a referred to college football in the NIL,
like my Arizona Wildcats can never compete against your Oklahoma's
the Michigan's schools like that that they're gonna get billionaires
to fork over the money. How come every team didn't
bid on Juan Soto? Real simple, only three teams can
afford them. That's really the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets. Why could
(03:08):
only three teams afford him?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Everyone could have done it, Everyone could have been on them.
They just wouldn't been able to reach the number that
he wanted, and the Mets would have bid.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Him right well, because they can't afford these other teams,
can't afford what the other three teams can out there.
That's that's my whole point. They just can't bring in
that type of money. It's just impossible. So it's it's
the rich get richer, and the rest of them just
stay the same. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So you don't think if the uh, if the Pittsburgh
Pirates decided they were gonna pull their resources, you don't
think they could come up.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
With an offer near this for Juan Sota. You don't
think they know?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I don't think they have the seven like the A's
do they are they gonna playing?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
To be honest with you, I mean i'd have to
google that up real quick right now.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, I mean, it's seven hundred and sixty five million
even in the roma possibility for so some of these teams.
I don't think so, Chris, I.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Don't know what's happening to you and your old age any.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Wow, I'm getting time with my team, right, I'll just
be happy about.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I'm actually I'm kind of impressed right now. They sign
with your team.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I expect you to be like, take that pores, you
want to complain, make more money. This is a little
different side of the I'm very impressed right now.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
No offense. I'm gonna be like the person that got
a job because my dad hooked me up. I know
I got a favor or no offense, but you know,
I know where the you know favor came from.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
So I go.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
We got Sodery's going to help the team. That's all
that matters. But that's a lot of a lot of money.
I wonder how much that's going to increase ticket prices,
food prices, all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, it's probably not at all.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I mean, how much more expensive can it get at
a New York Mets game right now?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I mean, what all you do?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, I like a hot dog in a beer. It's like,
you got your kid with you, We'll just take your kid.
I mean, it's already expensive enough to go to these games,
right So I.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Already wrote I wrote a tweet to our bosses right
now that I'm going to need time off when the
Knicks win the championship for the parade. Now I'm gonna
need time off in October when the Nets win the
World Series. I need a lot of time off coming up.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
We have three minutes and twenty seconds to go in
the Sunday night football game between the Chiefs and the Chargers.
Chiefs moving the ball down the field. They trail seventeen
to sixteen. So we've seen this story before. Chiefs kick
a field goal with like three seconds left to win
the game, even though they played kind of crappily throughout.
(05:29):
So I don't I mean, is there anything more to
add to this Sunday night football game. Haven't we seen
this before? Don't we know this ends?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
We've seen this before, except for the fact that I
need the Chiefs to win, which means I'll put the
reverse curse on them and they'll end up losing the
game because the Dolphins. As a Dolphins fan, I need
the Chargers to lose. It's still gonna be tough for
my Dophins to get into the playoffs, So I need
the Chargers to lose.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Okay, here's a question.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I mean, I'm being dead serious here, because let's have
a little talk about Roman numeral number eleven.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Which is a great Roman numeral eleven.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, which is a great lesson in stop sending the
rundown early. Stop. That was a mistake. That was I mean,
I beg you on this.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Our show starts at eleven o'clock Eastern, ten o'clock Central time.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
My mind is always moving. I'm writing things down even moments.
So we go in the air.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I sent them four o'clock East.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Four o'clock six seven, seven hours before we go on
the air.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Seven. And you say, I'm done with the Dolphins. I'm
tired of them.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I can't lost to the Jets twenty six, twenty three.
I can't take it anymore.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah, and now you're wanting to stump for them to
get in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, I did text you later and said, disregard what
I wrote on Roman numeral eleven.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Well, can we just come up with an agreement just
to make this deal? Patrick, Yourrott producer, Mary, you run
the show, the producer of the show.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Okay, stop sending the rundown before hours before the show.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I sent that in haste. I was mad before sometimes No,
I was mad because the Dolphins look like they were
gonna lose and the season was gonna be over. I
wrote that it's like when you fight with your wife,
and don't you ever say something that you regret that
you'll never let you forget about it. I might have
said something I regret.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I don't know how, asking you not to send the
rundown early so there's not scratches. And I'm trying to
read through your terrible handwriting already, man to read the
square again.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I crossed that in part the part that I said
I can't take it anymore and that we lost to
the just twenty six twenty three. Disregard that part, and
then I start. I wrote wins it overtime exclamation point,
and then I wrote twenty six percent to make the playoffs,
though that's not true. They only they only have a
thirteen percent yet, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Mike, what are you doing? And also in that do
you really want them to make the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yes, I'm a Dolphin fan. You knuckle ahead, of course.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Though are you gonna win? Are you gonna win?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Are you going to the Super Bowl? Are you going
to the AFC Championship game? Are you gonna win a
playoff game?
Speaker 4 (07:59):
No?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Wait, wait, let me answer that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, yeah you're not, so why don't you just no?
I'm trying to reset your expectations because you have to do yourself.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Because you because there's no quarterback playing better than Tua
in all of the NFL questions.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
They almost lost to the Jets today. Let's go ahead
and high five on that. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers hor Aaron
Rodgers has looked terrible all year, and suddenly everyone's having
elite tweets because your defense is so bad.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
They made him look like a Hall of Famer again.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Today was barely three hundred passing yards by Aaron Rodger.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
You really think that defense?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I mean, the Texans would probably put seventy on you
guys right now.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
So you played up next week?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Why don't you just accept that you're not good. No,
get another defensive end, an edge guy in the draft,
maybe a linebacker, maybe a corner.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
You know what they think about like that? No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
No, you're the You're worse than guys.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
They say, Hey, my team's got to get better because
you're gonna sit here and tell us how great they are.
You're gonna lose in the first round and they're going
to continue to tell us how great they are when
nothing changes.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I need to make the playoffs. I'd rather make the
playoffs then get a high draft pick. It's better to
have loved and lost than to never have loved it.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Yeah, and that.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
You don't say stuff you don't really mean on National
Talk Era.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
It just absolutely cuts him off, right, and that.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
What happened is that they cut me. You that's because
she cuts me off on purpose.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I'm sure that I don't blame you for it's better.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
It's better or you heard.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, I heard that, and then you cut off when
you kept starting. No, you don't feel that way, because
then you're gonna come in that way. No, you don't,
because then you're gonna come in here because if yours Oh,
I just want to get the playoffs. When you lose
the playoffs, you'll be like, well I got a fire mcdan.
You'll look at the chemistry professor over there, and they
got to trade chemistry to chemistry to do right.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You don't think you have a good football team or
a good coach.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I do think we have a good football team, at
least offensively. It's just defensively.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Okay, didn't hold on pull back just a second.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I thought, I don't don't think we have a bad
football team, at least offensively. A team is everybody. Okay,
you don't have a good team. You have a good offense,
you're not good on defense. I don't even know if
you're good at special teams, which are kind of important too.
You have a good offense, So what do you Why
are you doing this to yourself and then to us?
You won thirty two to twenty six over a team
(10:20):
that is now three and ten today, and you have
to scratch and clawed and fight to do it at home.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
We never win games like that anymore. That's the first turning. Baby,
they're back. They win a game like that against the
bad Jets team. That's right, We're gonna win the rest
of the season. We're not gonna lose a game the
rest of the year. I told you that last week.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
You told me that last week.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, I said, we won't lose.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I feel like Arnie, you tell us that after every
single game. I do not every game they lose, Like, well,
they're just not gonna lose again the rest of the year.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I think you're a little mad that they came back
to beat the Jets. I think you wanted them to
lose to the Jets.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
No, no, no, I'm actually ecstatic they came back to beat
the Jets because I'm small hard enough to know my
team sucks and we're not going anywhere. So I needed
the Jets to win so the Raiders can maintain that
spot in the top two. See, the Jaguars were dumb
enough to go win a game today over the Titans.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Let me tell you, if we put up thirty two
points every game, we won't lose.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Yeah, you will, absolutely you would because your defense can't
say you just gave up twenty six to the Jets,
aren'tye who have mass too?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
So remember we held them.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Those not count?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
What the field goals, that's right, Yeah, they count obviously.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Okay, there's still points that you're giving up. Quit. I
feel like you've become.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
You know now. I want to make the playoffs and
win and go to the AFC Championship Phase game, just
to go ahead and face you. You know that, don't
you now, face me and Idea and everybody else that's
that's going give it to them play give it to them, dophins. No,
we'll see now. Now, now we'll see how right you are.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, how about this, I'll cut my arm off if
the Miami Dolphins playing the AFC championship game. How's that
if your Dolphins win, I will Mary can bring the
saw to Oklahoma. Patrick can have the video and we'll
cut my arm off live onto the air.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
How's gonna make sure it's gonna be a rusty saw?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Then?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, that's right, I'll take care of that well in
football games and actually matter today, what do we make
of what happened between the Bills and the Rams?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Everyone had just kind of went ahead and elevated the
Bills to this next level, and they deserve it. There's
still a really good football team. And you know, we'll
see what happens here at the end of this Chargers Chiefs.
One of my saying, we'll see what happens. The Chiefs
are going to get a field goal five seconds left
to win the game. The Bills lose. The Bills lose today,
and their their defense speaking of struggling defense.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah, I was about to say, you're still thinking that
the Bills could be a AFC championship team. Mark a
team that go to the Super Bowl. But yet their
defense is Bobby equivalent to Miami's. But their offense is
probably a better a lot better.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So is everything Now that we talk about going to
be equated to something about the Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
No, but I mean, you know, you don't say thing
about how bad the Bills defense is.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I just did good.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I just did I did their defense forty four forty
four to the Rams. That's embarrassing, right, and lose the
football game. So you know again, I we're in Week fourteen.
We've got for most teams three games to go, right
handful still have four to go. It's just I mean,
all right, sorry, most teams have four to go, A
(13:32):
few teams have three, but as it stands right now,
they've already.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Won their division.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Now you I guess the only thing is with Pittsburgh
winning and the Bills losing, kind of puts you a
little bit tighter on that two seed overall. Now, I'm
not someone that's looking to playoff seatings, but I'll look here,
all right, they still have the tiebreaker because of a
strength of victory according to Buffalo, so they're still in
a good spot. But you'll lose a game like that
to a Rams team that I mean, let's face it,
(14:00):
they're seven and six football team. You lost to a
five hundred football team at home. To me, i'd rate
to some red flags. If I'm a Bills fan right.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Now, does it? Because I mean, they've played better?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Was it? They played well?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
It was a great football game, right, It wasn't like
they should be embarrassed or anything to that effect.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And shouldn't it make you feel worse though, if you
play well and you still lose.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Well, it was on the road. It's always tough to
win on the road. And by the way, the Ray
you said the Rams are a five hundred team, but
they started one in four, right, So I mean, aren't
they a little bit better right now than a five
hundred team the way they've been playing. No, they had
won three out of their last four now three and one.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Who are those wins?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
The Bills win is really their only impressive winning that stretch.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
If you want to back up before then they beat them.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Well, if you want to go back, they beat the
Vikings and the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah, those are pretty good wins also.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
But then somehow they lost to the Dolphins, which would
be reason. It just absolutely enclosure franchise. As far as
I'm concerned, they got smoked by the Eagles, who look
very human right now.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I'm just if you're gonna try to tell me that
you're okay with the Bills because you think the Rams
are a good team. I'm not gonna fight you, but
I will say if you're gonna tell me that the
Bills played great and still lost, that's a problem in
mind only reason, actually, when you give up forty four.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
The only reason I'm okay with the Bills is because
I think it's so top heavy in the AFC. I
don't even believe in Pittsburgh, to be honest with you.
I think it's Kansas City, Buffalo and everybody else. The
Chargers do scare me if they get on a run,
but nobody else really scares me in the AFC, And
in the NFC, it's like Detroit, Philadelphia and who else.
Maybe Minnesota if they get on a run. But otherwise,
(15:42):
I don't feel like there's too many teams that are
gonna make a run at this thing.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
All right, We're coming to your live from the Tirack
dot com studios. When we come back, we'll start rolling
through some of the college football playoff news. Because the
field is set, they're at the two minute warning. They're
at the two minute warning. Real, let's watch this play.
The Chiefs are facing a third in seven seventeen sixteen,
the Chargers lead this What do they have that on
Arnie the twenty yard line?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I'm like a good twenty seconds before.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
They're at the twenty yard line on a third and seven.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
If the Chiefs pick this up, they can basically run
the clock out and they'll get a first down.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Of course, the Chiefs pick up a first down at
the twelve yard line, so trailing seventeen to sixteen, the
Chargers are out of timeouts. The Chiefs can kneel this
down and do exactly what we said, which is kick
a game when you feel good. About two seconds left
in the game. Seen this play before. We'll recap it
when we come back with Arnie and Plank on Fox
(16:38):
Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Told you, I told you exactly what's gonna happen, Arnie.
I think everybody knew course to watch the NFL.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
It's just Chiefs go down on a third and seven.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Mahmes runs around misses what should have been an easy
sack fights Travis Kelsey sitting all alone for a first down,
they kneel on it until there's a second left because
the opposing teams used up all their timeouts, and boom,
game winning field goal. Of course onots in. Gosh, they're
(17:27):
that good.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Man, no way that deserves to go into it. And
I'm thinking, am I gonna have the curse? Is that
gonna miss? Is it gonna the post and come back?
And of course it hits the post that goes in.
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
How that's just I don't even know what's saying more fans.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
If it's the post, I would say, like eighty percent
of the time, the kick's not going to be good.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
If you're a chief.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
A serious question, if you're a chief, san does do
these kind of breaks that are happening in the ring
snap last week in the Raiders game, the field goal
dwinking in this week several breaks with quote unquote calls.
Does it build your confidence up that makes you, oh, yeah,
(18:12):
we're just we're wait, who did who was it that
we had on a while back on he Maybe it
was on Friday night whenever we were filling in.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
By the way, look at you on the Friday nights?
Are these are these last second or are these scripted
and planned?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
That was that was planned. I don't know Jason was
off that night. I don't know where he went look
at you anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I don't know if it was on a Friday night
or when it was, but I mean, I think it
was Jason Cole. It's like, Oh, I just think they're
bored with the regular season. And if that's the case,
you getting a lot of breaks if you're bored and
kind of playing with your food a lot like they are.
So if you're a Chance fan, does this build your confidence?
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Right?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Oh? Yeah, nothing can stop us or I mean sneakily Arnie,
it's it's it's it's gotta make you a little bit
worried how they're just skating buying a lot of these games.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
You can't be bored with the regular season. Maybe if
it's the NAA, you could say you're bored with the
your season because the NBA has that type of game
where you can share two walls and like that. You
can't do that in football one game a week. You
can't just half assets. You got to be ready for
the whole game. Otherwise you're gonna get yourself hurt. They've
just been very lucky, I mean good and lucky. But
(19:16):
remember what they always say, better to be lucky than good.
They're a little bit of both. If I'm a Chiefs fan,
I'm saying to myself, it's gonna come back, you know.
If I'm in a room with a whole bunch of
other Chief fans eating barbecue, I'm saying to myself, is
it gonna come back? And Biden's and the ass boys.
Eventually we're not gonna get lucky, and it's gonna cause
us a super Bowl. That's how I feel.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Get Arnie working so blue tonight, Mary. The language he's
really trying to show off.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Are they.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Think is oh, we have my Hollywood elite friends who
are gonna be writing that Arnie Spaniards show I told
you about.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Are you sure this is an Arnie Spaniards show.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
By the way, once I become famous on TV, I'm
gonna have to come up with a whole new list
of friends, aren't I.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Well, of course that's what you do.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah, Like I mean, I can see like Ben Afflack
and I being good friends.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Ben would not want to be your friend?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Why not? Why would?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
He's actually smart?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
And if I'm friends with Ben Affleck, I'm automatically friends
with Matt Damon too. So how about Snoop would want
to be friends with me? Can you see me going
over to watch the games with Snoop? And I'd say,
put on the games and can you blow?
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Why did you just sound high right there?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Yeah? He doesn't know what that means. Can you?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Can you blow that the other way?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Snoop?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Not in my direction please.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
And snoopould look at you and kick you right off
the compound.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Wow, agreed?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
What about Sandler? Adam Sandler and I would be good friends.
I could see that.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
I can actually see that one, that's the realistic one.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
And I don't. Yeah, yeah, I can see myself Like
I said, Hey, Adam, meet me at the courts. Let's
play some ball, you know, go shoot around.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
There was no confidence when you said that.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
Yeah, it'll dunk on you, Arnie, or you'll shoot the three.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
When I become friends with Snoop, I want to take
a picture of us together. Okay, so you guys know
how close we are.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
So what is the next step here? Before you become.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Rich and join the Illuminatio.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah, no, I just swear it's just a matter of
time now. And I've come up with the title of
the show. You know how the name of the show
was Roseanne. How about this Arnie?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I don't think you get to what a genius name?
For sure?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I always like the Brady Bunch. How about Arnie's Bunch?
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Again? Do you get to name this show? I do?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I think I pretty kind of. I'm pretty sure I get.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
To That's not the most reassuring.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Pretty sure.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
The Hollywood at least said no.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
No, how about Hello, Hello Arnie?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
How about Arnie?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Everybody woves Arnie?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Do this sad? Can we just go to the next topic?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Is really?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Yeah, that's a good call. All right?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
As we come to you live from the tyrach dot
com studios, As expected, another Sunday night football slash primetime
escape for the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Steve de Sager is here to recap it all with
what's trending? What's going on? Steve?
Speaker 8 (22:18):
You know, I would say it's just astounding at this point,
but it was at this point two months ago.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
It just hasn't ended.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
The Chiefs are twelve and one, undefeated, at home, They
blew a thirteen to nothing halftime lead and still win
nineteen seventeen over the Chargers tonight on a thirty one
yard field goal on the final play that went off
the upright and through. The Chargers allowed just sixteen points
a game that is the best in the NFL. They
(22:45):
had a lead of seventeen to sixteen until the final
drive fourteen plays when the Chiefs took the last four
thirty five off the clock and win on a field
goal on the final play, which is exactly how the
Chargers lost the Monday night game at Arizona earlier this year,
similar field goal on the final play, and that was
(23:06):
seventeen to fifteen. And when the Chargers and Chiefs met
in La in September this year, it was tied fourth quarter.
Chiefs had a sixty yard drive to take the lead.
This was a fourteen play forty seven yard drive.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
How games are the Chiefs won in the fourth quarter
this year?
Speaker 8 (23:22):
In fact, if not just this year, if you just
go by games decided by one score or less, they've
won fifteen in a row, the longest set streak in
the history of the National Football League, and they continue
to dominate the AFC West and specifically the Chargers over
the past decade. The Chiefs record against the Chargers is
(23:44):
nineteen to three, including seven straight wins head to head,
both games this year home and home. One thing for
Justin Herbert, who was playing without his starting running back JK.
Dobbins on the injury reserve for a month and without
by far his wide receiver, rookie Lad mcconkee, was out
tonight with knee and shoulder injuries. But Herbert still has
(24:05):
not thrown an interception since Week two. That was the
only pick he's thrown all season. It's now been three
hundred and thirty five passes in a row without an
interception thrown by Justin Herbert, which is a franchise.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Right, so rather have two.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
It is an eight and five record for the Chargers now,
and keep in mind is Baltimore is also eight and five.
Just a couple weeks ago on Monday Night Football, Baltimore
beat the Chargers head to head in La so for
the moment that would move the Ravens up to perhaps
a Ravens at Texans first round battle, and the Denver
Broncos are eight and five and guess what, Remember that
(24:44):
flex to a Thursday game. It's a week and a
half away. It's Denver at the Chargers, and currently they're
both at.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Eight at five.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
The Monday night football game tomorrow is Cincinnati four and
eights at Dallas five and seven. Cowboys have one home
win all season one and five for the Bengals, Joe
Burrow does have four straight games with at least three
passing touchdowns. His year has been superb thirty touchdowns only
five interceptions. Obviously, he won't sniff the MVP award because
(25:12):
Cincinnati's four and eight, but Joe Burrow has been quite good.
Six teams are on a bye this weekend. By the way,
the defenses for the Rams and Bills were on a bye.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Today.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
The Rams wound up winning forty four to forty two,
highest scoring game of the league this year. Buffalo's seven
game win streak is over Seattle and San Francisco, each
one and earlier. Today, Philadelphia won its ninth in a row.
Minnesota won its sixth straight. In fact, the Vikings got
five touchdown passes from Sam Darnold in a win over
Kirk Cousins in Atlanta forty two to thirty one. SMU
(25:45):
and Clemson made the College Football Playoff. Alabama and Miami
were not selected. Alabama this year lost to two five
hundred teams, Oklahoma and Vanderbilt. SMU opens its postseason at
Penn State. Remember home games for the first round. Clemson
opens at Texas on Saturday, the twenty first. Texas is
eleven and two, both losses to Georgia. Purdue has a
(26:07):
new head football coach. It's Barry Odom from UNLV. He'd
also coached at Missouri. UCF introduced Scott Frost as head
coach today. In the NBA, the late game is in
La Lebron James of the Lakers out tonight with a
sore foot. Lakers are off until Friday. After this evening
Lakers lead Portland one hundred to eighty three, was six
minutes to go. Already wins for Golden State and Sacramento.
(26:30):
Wins for Houston and Memphis. Denver got forty eight points
from Nikola jokicchen one at Atlanta one forty one to
one eleven. Miami upset Cleveland won twenty two to one thirteen.
And perhaps you heard about the little contract the Mets
agreed to tonight with outfielder Juan Soto fifteen year deal worth
seven hundred and sixty five million dollars oh, with opt
(26:53):
out after five years. No money deferred involved in SODO
to the Mets, back to you.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
So do we now? Wait, my gosh, I'm sorry. Seven
hundred and sixty five million and he doesn't pitch, No,
he doesn't. It's just an outfielder. What does that go down?
Per season? Steve fifty one million? Are we?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Are we getting closer to an era of one hundred
million dollar a year players? Maybe maybe we're not quite
there in baseball, but I feel like we're getting close
in basketball in the NBA, right, I mean, we're we're
inching towards that.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Right.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
If I'm an owner, I just give them the team
and say pay me. Do you just pay me?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
What are they gonna what are they gonna pay you for?
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (27:38):
It's crazy out there, and you have your first billion
dollar player probably in two three years from now.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
I'm guessing that's say, maybe that's the better question.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Instead of one hundred million dollars per year, when's our
first he signed a billion dollar deal? I'd give all
that money. I give all that money to Patrick Mahomes
that's for sure. I mean, are we watching what he's
doing right now? Bill, here's a couple of ideas. Arnie
should just call his show gas lit. That's from Bake,
because you're always gaslight, you're gaslighting everybody. Here's a few
(28:09):
from Colin. He right, Nobody loves Arnie, breaking Arnie, the Spankers,
curb Arnie's enthusiasm, the Arnie File. We could have some
fun with this.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I think I like that. That's like the Rockford Files,
the Arnie Files. That could be good.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
They're focused on the wrong one. Dude.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Wow, again, I still don't I think is this show
about Arnie Spaniard?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I mean, is that what we're talking about?
Speaker 5 (28:36):
The war usedad.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
No, you don't have to worry what it's about, don't
worry about but you're telling us what it's about.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
And I think you're misrepresenting it as well.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
It's it's pretty much the Arnie Span your show pretty much.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
I'm just gonna say yourself.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Here's a good tweet.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Here's a good tweet for mister Nobody to gives back
real quick on the Chiefs tonight, and then coming up
we'll dive into really good interactions so far on the
program so far. On Twitter, it's thinking genius swap. I'm
at playing show. Everybody should be following us. At Fox
Sports Radio, here's mister nobody who writes Areti's not wrong
about the Chiefs, with apologies to Rob Parker for gimmick infringement.
(29:16):
The Chiefs are the worst eleven to one team I've
ever heard of. If they luck their way into the
Super Bowl, they won't win it. There are ten teams
in the NFL that have a better point differential than
the Chiefs do, right and they're at twelve and one
right now.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
But like I said, I don't really trust anybody other
than Buffalo and Buffalo we've seen what happens when they
go in the playoffs en have to take on the Chiefs.
It doesn't usually fare too well for them. Otherwise, Pittsburgh, Texans,
maybe at Baltimore, but I don't really buy into anybody
else that could beat the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
You're still kind of saying the Texans kind of surprises
me a little bit because you've been off them for
a while. Now I have them for a while. With
the way that they've played.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
They're disappointing. There's no doubt about that, But they're still
going to go the division.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I guess from my perspective, I feel the exact same
way you do. Who do you look at and feel
incredibly confident that you could look up and still see
them playing in the AFC or NFC Championship game? I mean,
because even at twelve and one in their history, I
still think there's people that are like, I just don't know.
Eventually it's gonna catch up to them. Well will it?
When you have to go through Arrowhead? And it might
(30:23):
be what was.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
The wind show whenever the Dolphins played there?
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Like five degrees negative one hundred degrees?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Do you feel over The Eagles are eleven and two
right now, can't throw the football, They've won nine straight games.
Do you feel overly confident about them making a push
towards the Super Bowl? The Lions are an incredible story, Arnie,
I mean an incredible story. They're twelve and one, they
keep finding ways to win games. They've won eleven straight games.
But I think, as as Ephram put it, they had
(30:50):
dudes introducing themselves to each other before kickoff on Thursday,
and I say, Hi, how you doing, Jamal Adams. We
played college ball against each other. Gay, I'm the safety,
I go here. I mean, that's how deemed up they
are are right now. I don't think anyone feels confident
about what's going on in the NFC South or West.
I mean, come on, dude, this is as I bring
up that point to say, as lopsided as these numbers look, right,
(31:12):
an eleven and two team, a twelve and one team,
Vikings are eleven and two, Chiefs twelve and one, at
ten and three and ten and three. I don't know
if if any of us look at that and say, oh, yeah, dude,
that team's going to the Super Bowl and either in
either conference right now.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
No, but that doesn't mean they can't pull off and up.
Absolutely are we going to be surprised Minnesota. Let's say
they're taking on a Detroit or Philadelphia team. They're only
going to be what a five or six point favorite.
That's nothing crazy. Green Bay's got a good team. I
don't think they can do it, but you never know
when they pull off something, or maybe like Daniels with
the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
And Vava job at the right time, if the.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Chargers are Denver going a little bit of a run.
I mean, I'm not crazy about a rookie quarterback like
bo Knicks, but he's looked good. He's getting better every week.
He's looking so much better. You just I'll know where
that upset comes from.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
All Right, when we come back to the Tyraq dot
com studios, you know what, we need a full run
through all your reactions to week fourteen to one Soda.
We've barely scratched the surface on the twelve team college
football playoff and the rabot. How about the fact that
last year's fourteen playoffs semi final game between Michigan and Alabama,
(32:22):
the rematch this year is in the.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Rely Request Bowl. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
There was a lot of people complaining about that. I
know that there was people just screaming that the system's
messed up.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Well, the systems. It's college football. It's always been messed up.
But let's tell you how messed up it is. When
we come back with Arnie and Plank on a Fox
Sports Sunday.
Speaker 1 (32:44):

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Fifteen years, seven hundred and sixty five million dollars for
one SODO to the Mets fifty one million dollars is
the second largest average aav.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
In baseball history. How about that?
Speaker 3 (33:15):
That's insane. I keep I just don't know how you.
I mean, what do you do with all that money?
You just want to sit around in the bank or
you start buying some big old homes. I don't know
what you do, geez.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
I mean, I'd like to try to figure out what
to do with that kind.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Of privately, is what I would do.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Let's get to week fourteen, though, a lot of things
that we haven't really had a chance to dive into yet.
Arnie and two of them on the injury front near
and dear to my heart, at O'Connell looks like he's
done for the season. Did you happen to see the
play he got hurt on the rador?
Speaker 3 (33:49):
What he was pushing in the back?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Did I miss something? Was he was pushing miss back?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
And I know what you're saying, And he just fell
over And I'm like, how did he fracture his ankles?
That I'm not quite understanding what happened there.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
I feel the same way I'm watching it and he's
down and the cart comes out, and I'm thinking, what
is this some sort of chest injury?
Speaker 2 (34:14):
What's going on here? And they put the air cast
on it and he got up. He got up and
got on the cart. So that means the Raiders as
bad as they are at two and eleven. Now, Oh,
by the way, guess what, America, you get to watch
them on Monday Night Football next week. Sorry about that.
We'll now have their third string quarterback as the starting quarterback,
(34:35):
a guy who wasn't even on the team to start
the season. So things looking good for that top pick
is Desmond Ritter will get the call for the Raiders.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
On money get your door standers with the door cam Ward,
you know, whichever way they decided to go with it.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
I mean, Dion's pushing it big time.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
You're you're gonna get Sanders? Now, how are you gonna
what about his son?
Speaker 4 (34:56):
Were?
Speaker 3 (34:57):
What round is he gonna go in?
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Which one? I have a hunter? Nod calls coach Prime calls
Travis's other son. You know, wow, so I know you're
talking about his other I think he's like a third
round pick right now. Maybe.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Okay, So the Raiders could have both of them, then
that's right.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
And remember they have an extra third round pick from
the trade for Davante Adams, so maybe they do. I
want to see him do the thing the Texans did
a couple of years ago where they get their quarterback
and then trade back up and also get Travis Hunter.
I know that's not going to happen, but here we are.
The other injury. The other injury was Derek Carr, who, unfortunately,
unlessen SAT fans, you're the worst man. I just this
(35:34):
guy is balling. He's playing well, and you would think
that he's out there throwing with his left hand. Well,
his left hand gets hurt as he's going all out
to make a play. It looks like he broke his
wrist or broke his hand. I don't know. I don't
know if he can play through that. I mean, it's
his non throwing hand. But next week the Saints and
the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
So yeah, yeah, I'm shutting it down. If i'm him there,
I am too. Yeah, there's no reason to play through that.
He looked like he was in a lot of paying
coming off, and I felt bad for the guy to
be I think.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
I think there. I mean I don't know what the
future looks like.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
I mean, has Russell has Russell Wilson established himself as
the Steelers guy?
Speaker 3 (36:11):
No, he's the Steelers guy for this year and just
this year at all?
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Is I mean, is it done so done that Gino
Smith's still gonna be there? I mean all Seattle does
is win games, right, I mean, I don't know if
there's Atlanta's a mess right now, but we know who
their next starting quarterback is going to be, and it
could be sooner rather than later. I mean, I just
I love Derek Carry's one of my favorite backs. Is
he going to be a bridge quarterback in a place
like Tennessee or maybe going back to Vegas or maybe
(36:37):
the Giants because there's just not a lot of options
out there, I think for some of these veteran quarterbacks.
But you never know. I mean, look at Cleveland right now.
Are you counting on to Shaun Watson being their guy
next year?
Speaker 3 (36:48):
No? And also are you counting if you're a Minnesota
on JJ McCarthy, if Sam Donald is going to leave it,
I guess he's going to leave because they're not gonna
give him the money.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Well, they're making it seem like Sam Donald's gonna get
paid this offseason and mintioning mentioning that, and speaking of that, Arnie,
we got to start giving the Vikings the credit they deserve.
Five touchdown passes for Sam Darnald three hundred and forty
seven yards through the air. Now, granted, they had a
little bit of a rough start in this game, right,
This was a fourteen to ten game at the half,
(37:18):
and the Falcons where they took the lead in the
third quarter, but twenty one and answered in the third
quarter to just absolutely pulled away. I mean, let's go,
what a what a resurrection story for the career of
Sam Darnald here.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
When they all as cousins, I'm like, oh, well they're done.
It's going their old point and McCartney gets turned, the
McCarthy gets turned the preseason too, I'm like, forget about this.
Could you imagine that McCarthy didn't get hurt and he
got the start. Ah, this might look like a completely
different point at the start.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Great point, but are you buying the Vikings?
Speaker 3 (37:48):
I guess I have to because I have no choice.
I have no choice, and it's really top heavy. So
they're the next to the best bunch there.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, the Eagles won twenty two to sixteen today Carolina Panthers,
dropping Carolina to three and ten, boosting the Eagles to
twenty to eleven and two winners of nine straight games.
But Arnie afterwards, the only conversation anyone went to have
was about the inept nature of the Eagles passing game.
Jalen Hurts finished fourteen of twenty one for one hundred
(38:19):
and eight yards. Aj Brown four catches for forty three yards.
But with Saquon running like he did, and I mean
the Eagles as a team, they ran the ball thirty
one times for two hundred and nine yards six point
seven yards per carry.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Yeah, but they brought only out one hundred and twenty
four yards, so it wasn't like he was tearing it
up though I gave him like twenty times.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Though, oh, win is one hundred and twenty four yards
not a good rushing day. It is.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
But if you tell me had one hundred and twenty
four yards rushing and Hurts out one hundred yards pass,
the had so old, then they lost. They you can't
win a game on that. That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
I say six win.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
His twenty carries one hundred and twenty four yards six
point two yards per carry, Like god, you know, he
just didn't really have that great of the game, Like,
what are we even doing in combination with just one
hundred yards passing?
Speaker 4 (39:05):
All allow it, mister Spaniard, Thanks but thank you.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Should there be concerns about Philadelphia not being able to field?
Speaker 3 (39:12):
No, I mean, look, I thought Philadelphia, I like away
in the line the points. Remember we heard about that
gambler that bet three point one million that they were
going to win the game. We should have known that
the Panthers plus the points for the play here. I
just didn't think.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Why because one guy bet on it that you've never
heard of before in your life.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
That's amazing three point one They even mentioned that on
the red zone shadow. They're like an unknown gambler. But
three point one million to win four forty thousand, it's
still insane. I was rooting against him. I wanted to
see the Panthers away.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Of course you were. Well.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
When we come back to the tyrack dot com studios,
that's just a start on some of the notes and
tidbits from Week fourteen to the National Football League.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
We got much much more to.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Get to, including an update on the books with our
man Todd Furman. But listen, Arnie, we are an hour
into the program and we haven't yet touched on the
twelve team playoff. It is set the matchups. We know
there's numbers and spreads out there. Who's mad? Who's happy?
Did we get it right? We're gonna talk about the
twelve team playoff when we come back, plus more on
(40:17):
the Chiefs Sunday Night football win on Fox Sports Radio.
We're comany Alive from the tyrack dot com studios.

Anything surprised you about the twelve team playoff announcement today?
Were you shocked the Alabama didn't get in? I?
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Well, I wasn't shocked because I saw the report before
it came out. Did you see that? I think I
said it to you? Did I not?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Or what I was on the air, But Brett McMurphy
reporting that SMU was in and Alabama was out right.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
I saw that report. I retweeted it to ruin it
for everybody else. So because I got a ruined for me,
so I wanted to ruin it for everybody else out there.
But I still didn't believe it. When it was coming down,
I'm like, he must be wrong because I'm trying to
look at the numbers in the seats, and I thought
he was wrong up till the last minute. They they
I thought they did a pretty good job on the
selection show, to be honest with you, the first with
(41:22):
it and the way they put it out there and
the way they re released the teams and how they
got it to the SMU or Alabama to the end there.
I thought they did a very good job, to be
honest with it. But I tell you that was the
biggest surprise.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
There's no doubt When you say they did a good job.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Are you talking about the selection committee or the actual
broadcast itself.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
No, Well, I guess the committee could only do what
it was by the rules. But I do the props. Well,
you know, I don't think that boys he should be
getting a first round by same thing with Arizona State.
I don't think that Oregon should have to play the
winner of.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
What was see.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
I thought that's ridiculous. Penn States certainly has an easy road,
but the rules that that one made right, right, But
don't we say that? Even in basketball we say that too, though.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
They A lot of things need to change.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Let me let me tell you just some thoughts real
quick from someone who has spent way too much to
time today covering this. Number One you've got to receive
if you're going to continue to give four conference champions
byes regardless, right, kind of kind of like the NFL
where if you win in your division, you get a
home playoff game.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
Now this is.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Different because we're only talking about four and a twelve
team playoff, So I think that needs to be reevaluated.
I agree with you because there's no way. What was
Arizona twelve in the seeding?
Speaker 4 (42:44):
Right?
Speaker 2 (42:44):
They were the twelfth three team Arizona State, Well, everyone
knows what I'm talking about because Arizona's irrelevant. So Arizona
State was twelve. They shouldn't be getting a buy They shouldn't.
I love Boise State this year, shouldn't be getting a
buy But okay, regardless of that, we should reseed after
the first round, right, because again, Oregon shouldn't be allowed
(43:05):
to play the lowest seeded team remaining, and if that's
the nine seed and that's Tennessee, Okay, I just I
have a hard time looking at that and thinking, Wow,
Oregon's the one seed and their reward is they get
to play against either Ohio State who nearly beat him
at home.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
Right, maybe one of the more.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Underappreciated defensive football teams in college football in Tennessee with
maybe the best defensive football I know they are on
he maybe the best defensive football player, James Pierce.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
Just unbelievable. So I don't like that about it.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
I also, again, we could debate until we're blue in
the face. But one thing that really kind of irked
me today. Did you notice when they were using the
resumes what they were comparing people with.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
I did look at the resumes, but iak up on
that wins over teams that are five hundred? Right? I
saw that part?
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Yes, When did that start being a thing you should
always if you're a playoff team, you shouldn't be company. Well,
they lost to a team with Alabama was doing one
about five hundred if I remember correctly, they were four
and one.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
Well the other ones were like, well SMU was what
two and three or something.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
No, correct you're thinking of When they were debating the
three teams that were deserving of a bye, whenever, it's
Arizona State and Clemson and SMU not not SMU, excuse me,
Boise State and Clemson was the only Clemson had a
losing record against teams that are below five hundred five hundred,
(44:44):
and so my point is, the hell are we doing
College Football Playoff Committee graphic makers? Wins over teams that
are five hundred are better? How about wins over teams
in the top twenty five? How about wins over teams
that are ranked over five hundred? Arnie, I just I
felt like.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
It was a universal lowering of the bar is what
I thought we saw here today. And number two, long run,
I know everyone's clowning on Alabama's athletic director because, oh,
he didn't lose any non conference games, So how is
this really going to affect non conference scheduling? It will,
and it's going to because all these games that you like,
(45:21):
they're not gonna happen in the non content and the SEC.
Another thing is not going to expand to nine conference games.
They're going to stay at eight and basically say bleep, you,
so when you can plain when Alabama is playing more
games against Mercers, Cathedral College or whomever's.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
But they played three Pautz's anyway this year, Chris, did
they not?
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Yeah, but they always schedule up and they're and they're
always going to do it now and they're not going
to add a ninth college conference game, which I think
everybody should be at nine. But why would you if
you're the ACC or the Big twelve or the SEC, Like, no,
why would we because it doesn't matter s U. Strength
of schedule is laughable. But all they did was beat
the teams they're supposed to beat, and you've got to
(46:03):
reward that. I thought they were out in the first
half last night, Arnie, I'm not gonna lie, I thought,
asking you and it was out in Alabama.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
And eyeball, I'm like, oh, they're getting blown out. They're
not even gonna be close. Well, it's just Alabama's in.
There's no doubt in my mind they were gonna get
in at that point.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
But I will say my favorite things so far in
the knnipplamar or excuse me, on our text that we've
been rolling through here today, on our tweets of the show.
Have been people that are pointing out that last year
Alabama got the benefit while Florida State got screwed. Right,
So what are all the Florida State fans loving tonight
and all college footballmaas?
Speaker 3 (46:37):
Yeah, they got stuck for.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
That calburd rights. Alabama was left out of the college
football playoffs. Now the shoe was on the other foot
when they robbed Florida State last season out of a playoffs.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
Whether they deserved it or not, were you surprised that
they left Alabama out? Yes, shocked you and I both
because I always think they'll find the way to put
him in. It's made for TV. More eyes will watch
the Alabama team than SMU. They'll figure it out. They'll
come up with some excuse, but they didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
I think I think SMU is a good football team.
I think they're fun. I think they're gonna get smoked
by Penn State. By the way, I'll tell you what.
Penn State looked pretty good offensively to me last night
for a team that has been kind of mediocre offensively
all season long.
Speaker 4 (47:25):
Did you watch much of the Big Ten title game?
Speaker 1 (47:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (47:27):
You know? Locked in man, what.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Is it now? James Franklin. Oh and ten against teams
in the top ten?
Speaker 4 (47:34):
Is that? What is it?
Speaker 3 (47:34):
What it's come down to now? To an eighth against
the spread, that's gotta change real quick.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
Well, well, what if they make the Well look at
their path, aren't he They play SMU in the first round,
then they play boys he stayed in the second round.
Those are games James Franklin wins. Yeah, if he gets
Penn State to the semi finals against say Georgia or
Notre Dame or Indiana, I mean, that's like a as
bad as he's been against top ten teams, you gotta.
Speaker 4 (48:01):
Do you tip your cap or do you say it
was a lucky draw.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
That was a lucky draw, No doubt it was a
lucky draw. No infans or much about that.
Speaker 4 (48:09):
Would you would you take him as your coach at Arizona?
Of course?
Speaker 2 (48:14):
See, I mean that's the whole thing, right. So you're like, oh,
he sucks against top ten teams. And by the way, uh,
he's three and nineteen against top ten opponents. Oh my god,
three and nineteen, So you have to you know, let's
not let's not anything exact, but three and ten against
top ten opponents with both losses this year coming against
(48:36):
top ten teams.
Speaker 4 (48:38):
But I just it's one of those great I mean,
look at Ohio State right now.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
Ohio State fans are like done with Ryan Days, crying
Day is out, he stinks, he's no good. Well, they
got a whole playoff game against Tennessee in primetime on
Saturday night December twenty first, and then that game they
had against Oregon on the road, it came down to
a literal last millisecond play right whenever they said the
clock expired before Will Howard got down to try a
(49:07):
long field goal to win the game. And now you're
gonna play them in a neutral site. I mean again,
I'm just I'm saying these two coaches that everybody thinks
stinks and what fired Arnie, they can find themselves playing
for a national championship even after losing to their.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Rivals or ohiose they could end up losing the Tennessee
in the first d be done and things will get
real ugly. Losing it home to a team like that.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
You can take that negative side.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
I'm going glass half for what's your favorite first round matchup?
Ohio State, Tennessee, Clemson, Texas, Notre Dame Indiana or Penn
State SMU.
Speaker 3 (49:40):
It's obviously Ohio State Tennessee. That's the one I think
is a chance for an upset. Unless I'm missing something
out there. I do like Notre Dame Indiana, but people
kept telling me Indiana's no strength of schedule, their rankings
are no good, they don't deserve to be there, So
I'm laying off time. I like Indiana all year, but
(50:03):
I think the Ohio State Tennessee game has the best
chance for the upset. That's that's probably the best matchup.
Speaker 4 (50:09):
You think that Ohio State Tennessee has the best chance
for an upset? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
For tennis, probably probably so, right, I mean, because it's
seven and a half and the other games are right
around eight. I saw a first number I saw for
Texas and Clemson. I think it was the one that
I sent you eleven and a half.
Speaker 3 (50:25):
Wow, exactly.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
Really, we'll talk to Todd Furman about it coming up
in just a bit. All right. Then, from that perspective,
who's second round? Then? Matchup? Do you like better of
the four buys?
Speaker 2 (50:36):
I gotta I gotta say, honestly, I kind of dig
what Georgia might face, and I know Notre Dame is there.
But between Oregon, Georgia, Boise State, and Arizona State.
Speaker 3 (50:46):
Well, I mean, if we're looking at from the teams
that have the buy, then if that's what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (50:51):
I'm asking, who do you think of the bye teams
has the best second round matchup?
Speaker 3 (50:55):
Well, then it's going to be Georgia, though Boise if
they get the first roundups that with SMU, they'll be
real happy to see SMU come intown and they might
ever be scared of Penn State. So maybe Boise might
be the answer to all that. I'm curious to see
how good Arizona State's gonna be. But they can't beat Texas.
(51:17):
They could maybe beat Clemson, but they can't. They can't
beat Texas.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
I wonder if I wonder if Clemson's gonna pull off
some sort of voodoo in this and somehow knockoff Texas.
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (51:29):
I mean, any chance Texas and Clemson just battle it
out so bad that they don't have enough left for
the following week against Arizona State.
Speaker 4 (51:38):
That's the concern over those first round games right now.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
The way, do I get have credit for saying a
team from Arizona it was going to be in the
twelve team playoff.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
If I would have asked you in the preseason what
you thought Arizona State's record would be, you probably would
have told me they wouldn't win a game. I mean,
I'm just you gotta be honest with that right now.
But here they are in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (51:57):
I probably would have said that, but I didn't. I
could say, no, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
All right, final question on the playoffs. Biggest gripe for
not being in Bama, Ole, Miss Miami, or South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (52:09):
Alabama, there's no doubt. Yes, they lost the Vanderbilt and
they lost your Oklahoma team, but they played in the
SEC every week is so damn tough. Their schedules so
much better also, and they do have better wins. I
think they have the biggest s gripe of the bunch
out there.
Speaker 2 (52:26):
At a laugh Bakes tweet on it said, what we've
discovered is that Kaylin de Boor is not yet connected.
Speaker 4 (52:31):
Yeah, he doesn't have those connections.
Speaker 3 (52:33):
But if Nick Saban was the head coach when Alabama
made it this.
Speaker 2 (52:37):
Year, yeah, you know, that's a great question. That is
a great question, Arnie. If Saban was still the coach.
Is Alabama in the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (52:45):
Yes, the answer is, Jess, I think you're right, He
answers the answer, jest.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
Now, I don't think here's the other. I don't think
they lose to Vanderbilt, and they probably don't lose Oklahoma.
But that's neither here nor there.
Speaker 3 (52:56):
Maybe they lose one of those games.
Speaker 2 (52:58):
I'm gonna tell you this right now, and I listen,
I'm a completing total homer. I don't know who was
beating Oklahoma on that Saturday night, Norman. I mean, that
was as good as I've seen a football team play
in person, period, And they weren't very good in the
first quarter offensively, and then they got going.
Speaker 4 (53:14):
I don't know who was stopping them.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
So when people are like and I as six to
six Oklahoma like, well, on that night, we were more
like a twelve and one football team, I don't know
what got into him. So I'm not excusing it. I'm
not making anything seem better for Alabama. I'm just saying,
of the teams that have a gripe right now, I
guess that's the one where you look at maybe Southern
mess I keep saying Southern South Carolina Arnie because in
(53:39):
the old school day of the college basketball tournament, remember
how important was how you played down the stretch.
Speaker 4 (53:44):
He's like, well, in their last ten games, they're eight
and two.
Speaker 2 (53:46):
So we got him in and everyone like abolished that
and it didn't matter how you played down the stretch.
Well down the stretch. South Carolina was the best team
in college football. Man, they were just balling. They beat
Clemson last week. They won big games, but they lost
to a Miss, and they lost Alabama and they got
beat by Elis.
Speaker 3 (54:03):
When when we get these sixteen teams in, who would
have been the next four teams in Alabama, Miami, South Carolina,
Ole Miss. Is that who we'd have been?
Speaker 4 (54:13):
Yeah? Absolutely, I don't think there's any that would have
been great.
Speaker 3 (54:16):
That would have been awesome.
Speaker 2 (54:18):
I don't know if our debates are going to be
that fun in the future when we're getting down to thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,
and sixteen, Like this seems like a pretty unique year
on that front, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (54:28):
And by the way, it does seem unique on that
And I also brought this up on Friday when I
was filling in and Harmon and I went back and
forth on this and maybe it would have been another filling. Also,
I said, you know, because of this playoff, we're gonna
lose out on these conference championships won't have the same meaning.
People won't go what was it the ACC championship or
(54:50):
the they had the block off the top tier, the
top part of the bowl. Nobody's going to this stuff.
It's like it's almost a devalued a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (55:01):
So you're saying you don't think Oregon celebrating was happy
winning the Big Ten title.
Speaker 3 (55:06):
They of course they were happy.
Speaker 4 (55:07):
Yes, so it's not devalued.
Speaker 3 (55:09):
Some are, some aren't.
Speaker 2 (55:11):
Okay, So you're telling me Georgia wasn't ecstatic and Kirby
Smart was sitting there talking gas about getting a buy
from winning the SEC championship.
Speaker 3 (55:18):
No, they wanted to win that one. Also, I will
say that.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
Are you're telling me Dabos Sweeney didn't give a twelve
minute post game press conference interview.
Speaker 3 (55:25):
Oh, any time he wins, he gives a twelve minute
post game interview.
Speaker 2 (55:31):
So that guy Clinton that got clemsed into the playoffs,
I wasn't exciting for you.
Speaker 3 (55:35):
It was, But I'm just saying I think most people.
Speaker 4 (55:37):
You're just I'm giving you evidence to count and you're.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
No, No, I'm not saying exciting. I'm thinking about going
to the game spending your money people.
Speaker 4 (55:47):
I mean go to the playoff game? Why who cares? Existence?
Speaker 2 (55:51):
What's crazy at Atlanta for the SEC title game?
Speaker 3 (55:54):
Yeah, that they were, but the other games they are
holding back money and they were going to go to
the playoff games?
Speaker 2 (56:00):
Well were they? I mean what would I? What were
I with State fans holding back money for it to
not be in Dallas? I mean, what were you doing, Pyclones?
Well they did, I mean and there was nobody there.
Jerry World's got to stop hosting that thing. Put the
Big twelve Championship game and home sites. They don't have
the types of crowds that can fill that place period.
All right, when we come back to the Tirack dot
(56:20):
com studios, let's talk spreads and numbers with our man,
Todd Furman right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (56:27):
Mary, your Christmas song polls are fantastics, thank you.
Speaker 2 (56:32):
Yeah, out of absolutely nowhere. You have nothing to do
with her pulling her Chris or what the play.
Speaker 4 (56:39):
No you don't.
Speaker 2 (56:41):
Sometimes it's already playing on a Fox Sports Sunday, Todd
Furman joins us bet the Board podcast can't miss, especially
this time of year, because we're talking big money with
the playoffs. Todd, let's start there already, and I we're
talking college football and the twelve team playoff. Taking a
little pause from Week fourteen to the NFL. Are you
surprised sum you got the nod over Alabama? You surprised
(57:04):
by any of the seedings?
Speaker 7 (57:06):
No, not surprised that SMU got the NOD. I think
if you set the precedence that a conference championship game
doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot, you're putting
yourself in a little bit of harm's way. And Alabama
had multiple opportunities. I know they played a much more
difficult schedule going through the SEC, but you can't lose
on the road at Vanderbilt. There's more than any three
touchdown favorite, and you can't lay the eggs they did
in Norman, mustering all of three points against the Sooners.
(57:29):
If that game is more competitive, I can see making
a case. But Alabama had multiple opportunities to improve their resume,
and I think the committee got it right a rewarding
SMU for fighting back after facing a seventeen point deficit.
In the AEC Championship game.
Speaker 3 (57:43):
Todd any sudden movement right when the lines came out earlier,
Any big money come in already.
Speaker 7 (57:49):
No, nothing major. You've seen a little bit of an
appetite in Indiana and number got as high as nine.
That number is trended now in that seven and a
half range. I think it's going to be interesting to
monitor the weather forecast for all these games have a
number of programs not used to playing in cold weather.
And let's not sugarcoat it, most of these teams aren't
used to playing in late December and cold weather venues
when the season typically ends in late November. So that
(58:10):
becomes a game changer. And how these teams can acclimate
in those kind of adverse conditions all will go a
long way, especially when these on campus games. So for
a team like SMU practicing in Dallas, heading in a
happy Valley not going to be a pleasant experience any
more than it will be any more than it will
be in my opinion, for Tennessee heading north to go
to Columbus, even against a Buckeyes offensive line that may
(58:31):
not be able to protect their quarterback against that Tennessee
defensive front.
Speaker 3 (58:33):
One more thing that just odds to win the championship
like Penn State. Do the odds reflect on Penn State
having an easy roach. I just bet Penn State because
they'll be that SMU and Boise and get to the
four or what I.
Speaker 7 (58:46):
Mean, most of these prices, you're going to get better
numbers and return on investment if you end up betting
these teams on the money line and rolling them over,
I mean Penn State at six to one, you're not
stealing anything by any stretch of the imagination, because if
they have to go through two of the better teams
in the country, we already saw them as a three
and a half point underdog, not have enough offensive firepower
to keep up with Oregon, and if you had to
go through a Georgia team, I mean, you may essentially
(59:09):
be able to get that in just a three or
four game money line parlay with Penn State rather than
betting them at six to one if they have to
go through the most difficult road in front of them.
Speaker 2 (59:18):
Todd, you mentioned something about the weather and the side
of that. From that factor perspective, obviously, home field need
means a lot, the breaks mean a lot, But does
college football need to reevaluate the idea of just giving
the four highest seed conference champs. Do they need to
reevaluate those teams getting the first round by No.
Speaker 7 (59:41):
I don't think they need to reevaluate because I don't
want to tournament where it's two teams from the SEC
and two teams in the big tents that are getting
a buy every year, and I think if that's the case,
you're taking away some of the intrigues. So rewarding the
Boise States in the Arizona States of the world goes
a long way. What I think the committee needs to do, though,
is see these teams one through twelve and reseed based
(01:00:01):
on how things go. So if you have a twelve
seed upset of five and your Oregon waiting in the wings,
you shouldn't have to play Ohio State Tennessee. The winner
of that game, you should draw the twelve seed and
treat it much like the NFL does with the AFC
and NFC playoffs, where the best team plays the worst
remaining team. And college football can't hide behind this bracket ideology.
It makes sense in college basketball, where teams are in
(01:00:22):
the same venue playing thirty six hours apart, you have
ten days to make your travel plans here. So I
think that's the one tweak I would like to see
from the College Football Playoff going forward, that all of
these teams are seeded and five through twelve take place.
But if the twelve beats the five, then the one
plays the twelve in the quarterfinals.
Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Which cable get the most action on it?
Speaker 7 (01:00:40):
Todd, Oh, it'll be the Saturday night game between Ohio
State and Tennessee. Everything that you see to the first
three games, in my opinion, we'll roll into that and
you look at some of the blue bloods that are
involved in these games. I mean, Indiana may not move
the needle for the casual fan, but I think that's
arguably the most fascinating matchup because it's two programs that,
despite being separated by just a few hours, don't play
(01:01:01):
every year. At Notre Dame hasn't had any interest in
playing Indiana in the past. But everything will go into
that Ohio State Tennessee game is kind of the Marquee
Crown Jewel Saturday Night in.
Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Columbus to the NFL today. Todd just just out of
curiosity when you hear stories about massive wagers and they
become public, like the three million dollar alleged wager today,
what is as someone who lives this every day, and
obviously that person may too.
Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
I just it always kind of pisses me off for
some reason. What do you make when you see a
story like that that goes viral?
Speaker 7 (01:01:33):
Oh, it gets under my skin as well. I think
it glorifies an asset of the business that doesn't need
to be out there. And I think what gets lost,
especially with a wager like this, not that the player,
the individual serame nameless risk three point one million dollars,
but that three point one million dollars pays a half
a million dollars coming back. It's not like they're putting
up three point three to make three at minus one ten.
(01:01:54):
It's one of the heavier money lines that are out there.
And the sportsbook that took the bat, Hey, look, they
do a tremendous job with their risk profile and everything else.
They respected the bet so much that they didn't even
move the money line based on that wage you're coming in.
So that tells you about the caliber of player. It's
the same thing with a couple of these national books
where they want to try and share some of these
large tickets, six figure bets from celebrities when I can
(01:02:16):
bet six dollars and sixty three cents on some of
these NFL props that are out there on a given Sunday.
So it is an endless source of frustration for what
gets out there from a shock value standpoint, and to
your point, Chris, for folks that don't understand the industry,
it just creates, you know, all sorts of sirens and
all of that. The reason I say that as well
because when I work behind the counter at Caesars, we
(01:02:36):
had a customer who bet two hundred thousand dollars on
ten to twelve NFL games every single week. And if
I disclosed any of that information or that individual who
since passed, I would have been fired and terminated on
the spot for violating you know, that kind of not
quite doctor patient confidentiality, but it's the kind of thing
that you keep behind closed doors. And this seems to
be more about publicity to anything else.
Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
Oh I love it. I love that stuff. I can't
get enough every thought. I see those big bets and
they're all over Twitter now, Dott, it's all over the place.
I eat that stuff up. I can't get enough of it.
Speaker 7 (01:03:09):
Well, the difference that I have with this is the
book that took this particular wager is known to take
large bets, so you can make special arrangements with them,
and they're happy to kind of honor this caliber of action.
So I don't want to group them with a couple
of the national books that are out there that I'm
not going to put on blast by any stretch of
the imagination, that want to circulate large tickets, they want
to circulate parlays. But yet anyone who has a pulse
(01:03:31):
who tries to bet some of these games doesn't have
the ability to do so. And guys, I can share
screenshots with you of betting and trying to bet an
NFL total or a college football over under for a
conference championship game on Friday night where I got maybe
one eighth of the limit that I want, And folks
would be embarrassed by the amount that these books are
taking despite being publicly traded companies.
Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
Week fourteen, I mean, again, the Chiefs find a way
they dwink it in the Bills defense looks a little
bit suspect that we've I mean even go back to
Thursday night and the Lions needed a little bit of
everything to win that day doing that game on that day.
Speaker 4 (01:04:06):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
As much as we have a lot of teams that
are rolling and dominating right now with their overall record,
for some reason todd with the way they're playing, I
feel like it's a little bit more open than maybe
these records might indicate for these teams. In other words,
am I being sold to bill of goods here in
my belief or do you think anyone can come out
and find themselves playing in AFC or NFC Championship weekend.
Speaker 7 (01:04:28):
I think there are two teams that are cut above
everybody in the NFC. And I'm not going out on
a limb to say this that the Egos and Lions
are cut differently than the other teams that they're going
to have to compete with going through the road to
the NFC Championship. In the AFC, there are three teams
that have kind of separated themselves from the field, and
it's Buffalo. The Baltimore Ravens, despite facing a two game
deficit in the division behind the Steelers, are power rated
(01:04:50):
better than Pittsburgh and then Kansas City. But you mentioned
the Chiefs and the way that they have won and
improvable fashions. I know they're twelve and one, but you
look at their point differential plus fifty six. It's the
worst point differential we've ever seen for a team eleven
games over five hundred in the NFL. And oftentimes, what
goes up must come down. And while Patrick Mahomes no
doubt has the IT factor, blocking field goals against the
(01:05:12):
Denver Broncos inside of forty yards and banging field goals
off the upright tonight, ain't Patrick Mahomes an IT factor.
It's a little bit of Lady Luck smiling kindly upon you.
And when you continue to play tight games and live
on the razor's edge, even if you have the best
quarterback in the game going, all it takes is a
misstep here or there, and you cut off your nose
to spite your face. So I think there are a
handful of teams that are significantly better. I wouldn't be
(01:05:34):
too worried about Buffalo defensively. This looked like more of
an outlier than anything else, but it will be interesting
to see how they bounce back against a well rested
Lions team next week for the marquee game of the
weekend with one of the largest totals that we've seen
during the season, and trying to figure out which of
the teams that can come from off the pace that
may have a legitimate chance to play spoiler or become
(01:05:54):
a de facto Cinderella with a odds longer than fifteen
or twenty one.
Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
Wow, doda, if I wanted to make it in investment,
let's say a million dollar investment. What's a better investment
right now? Bitcoin or the Mets to win the World Series?
A very tough call, right now?
Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
What do you think?
Speaker 7 (01:06:09):
Yeah, in my opinion, it's a no brainer. So, but
I know you're going to try and make a case
as best you can for the Mets to win the
World Series. Nothing like a seven hundred and sixty five
million dollar contract sped over fifteen years to try and
level the playing field a bit, But the Mets still
not even the favorite to come out all of their
own divisions.
Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
That didn't change the odds. That didn't change they.
Speaker 7 (01:06:30):
It changed the odds a little bit, moves them from
ten to eight. But maybe this is why the Mets
went out there acquired Wan Soto, because once we get
the golden at bat rule, Wan Soda can come up
once every inning for the Mets, and it'll make it
completely worth their while, much like the old Bugs Bunny cartoon,
where you play every position on the field and bats
for every single spot in the battle like the.
Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Way you're thinking, Todd, have a great week, buddy. Thanks
for starting ours off the right way.
Speaker 7 (01:06:53):
Thanks all the pleasure boys, Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
That's Tod Furman joining us live from the tiraq dot
com studios. All right, let's get caught up. Steve Seger
is in the house with everything that has happened. Where
what Steve? Everything is now a final? Is everything now
a final?
Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
Probably?
Speaker 6 (01:07:09):
Not?
Speaker 4 (01:07:10):
Uh? Oh, what happened? That's a yes? There he is?
All right, there he is. What's going on? Steve? There
we go.
Speaker 8 (01:07:17):
And he did mention, by the way, about the Chiefs
are barely outscoring somebody. Also, for a team that started
twelve and one, Chiefs have by far the fewest takeaways
at this point of a great season, and the entire
Super Bowl era twenty takeaways at this point for a
great team was low. It's only ten takeaways for the Chiefs,
and yet they're getting these close games in the fourth
(01:07:38):
quarter and winning all of them.
Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
If you flipped the one score games right now, of
all the teams, the Chiefs would have the number one
pick in the draft. No, I'm serious, I just jeged
that out. Yes, they would have the number one pick
in the draft.
Speaker 4 (01:07:53):
They've had ten of them and they've won.
Speaker 8 (01:07:55):
All ten games decided by one score or less. Go
going back, the Chiefs have won fifteen straight, which is
the longest streak in the history of the league. But
I mean with the takeaways, let me put it this way,
ap really susted.
Speaker 4 (01:08:11):
Out very well.
Speaker 8 (01:08:12):
For a team that starts twelve and one, they usually
average about thirty takeaways for that great season.
Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
It's only ten for the Chiefs so far this year.
Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
So we don't know how they're doing it. We kind
of do.
Speaker 8 (01:08:26):
I mean, he wears number fifteen, but it's just amazing
what is going on. A thirty one yard field goal
on the final play beats the Chargers tonight nineteen to seventeen,
And just to add to the entertainment factor, the field
goal kick goes off the upright and through and then
the Chiefs clinched the AFC West title for a ninth
straight year. The Chiefs have had three different kickers now
(01:08:48):
make game winning field goals as time expired in the
fourth quarter this season. Butker Schrader matthew Wright, who was
four for four on field goals tonight. In NFL history,
he was ten years old.
Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
That guy he was on the field though, like, did
someone run on the field? Who is that guy? To
get him off the field?
Speaker 4 (01:09:04):
I think the pressure aged him tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
Get him off the field.
Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
He's a kid.
Speaker 8 (01:09:08):
He did make forty seven and fifty yarders tonight, which
turned out to be a key and a two point win.
But in NFL history, no other team has had more
than one kicker in a single regular season do this.
They've had three different guys already with the game winners
as time expire.
Speaker 4 (01:09:23):
In the fourth quarter.
Speaker 8 (01:09:24):
And of course today in the NFL we had the
Miami overtime win. Let's go, we had Detroit this weekend
with the kick at the end. So we can update
how many games decided by seven points or less this year.
It's one hundred and twelve, which ties for the twenty
sixteen season for the most such games at this point
of a season in the history of the league. The
(01:09:46):
Chiefs won a close game by two. The Rams won
a close game slightly higher scoring by two forty four
forty two. The final in La over Buffalo, which ends
the Bill's seven game winning streaks. Seattle and San Francisco
were each winners.
Speaker 4 (01:10:00):
By the way. A last note on the Bills.
Speaker 8 (01:10:02):
They're the first team in NFL history to get six
touchdowns in a game and no turnovers and not win
the game.
Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (01:10:09):
That's right now. Wow.
Speaker 8 (01:10:11):
The Philadelphia Eagles won They're ninth in a row twenty
two sixteen over Carolina. You mentioned the large wager Philly
was losing to start the fourth quarter at home. Minnesota
won at sixth in a row, beat Kirk Cousins in
Atlanta forty two to twenty one as Sam Darnold had
five touchdown passes. SMU and Clemson made the College Football Playoff.
Alabama and Miami were not selected. Produe's new head coaches,
(01:10:35):
Barry Odom from UNLV UCF introduced Scott Frost as head
coach in twenty seventeen. He led Central Florida to that thirteen.
Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
And o season.
Speaker 8 (01:10:43):
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham says he will be back for
a twenty first season there Tulane quarterback Darian Mensa plans
to transfer with three years of eligibility left. In the
NBA late game, the Lakers did not have Lebron James
out with a sore foot. Lakers are off until Friday,
and yeah, they're not in this NBA tournament that's gonna
continue with quarterfinals this week, so some time off, and
(01:11:06):
he took tonight off and the Lakers killed Portland anyway.
Final was one oh seven ninety eight with some late scoring,
but Anthony Davis thirty points. Denver's Nicola Jokic had forty
eight points in a win at Denver last night. Jokic
scored fifty six just last night, but they lost at Washington,
a Wizard's team that had dropped sixteen in a row. Tonight,
(01:11:28):
Denver shot sixty three from percent from the floor and
won at Atlanta one forty one to one eleven, ending
the Hawks six game winning streak. And Yes, the Mets
agreed to a fifteen year deal with outfielder Juan Soto,
worth seven hundred and sixty five million dollars, maybe more
now it could be less if he opts out after
five years, if they give him a raise and void
(01:11:50):
the opt out.
Speaker 4 (01:11:50):
It's it's more like eight hundred million back to you.
Oh gosh, that's it.
Speaker 3 (01:11:55):
I'm gonna have to go to a game now next year. Wow.
Speaker 4 (01:11:57):
Yeah, you're gonna have to help pay your salary. I
mean right, Oh my goodness, you want to hit a
couple of tweets here?
Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
You're getting a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
We have a lot today, so especially since we started
getting into the college football playoffs. Side my guy, Mustang
Mania rights, are you serious, Arnie? Before the Clemson loss,
SMU had one loss, not two or three and one
ten in a row, so please keep them out your mouth.
Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
Blake.
Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
You're right, we're gonna get crushed by Penn State. But
it's fun while it lasted. Well, hold on here, Mustang Media. Yeah,
I don't necessarily know that you're gonna get crushed. I
think I've done a one to eighty on that in
the ten minutes since I made that take. I think
of all the teams that, where's my little sheet in
the first round? I mean, Ohio State, Tennessee that's eight
and nine. I mean, I know, it's what six and
(01:12:41):
a half seven? Now, Clemson, Texas, Notre Dame, Indiana. I
honestly think Penn States might be the team or SMU
might be the team that could pull the upset.
Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
That's eight and a half right now, Penn State's update
and a half.
Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
In State's eight and a half. Yeah, you might be right.
Mustang Mania here, you disrespect s m U Arnie and
I'll continue to disrespect them, and when they lose, I'll
probably disrespect them more and win.
Speaker 3 (01:13:09):
I would have put at a batman there. What if
they win, I'll cut my arm off. There you go,
good bad. I'm justid No, you're not say like, who's
gonna come cut your arm off? I mean we still
willard owes us an arm. Okay, so we're good on that.
Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
And the fact that Brian No doesn't bring that up
on every single show enrages me on this network.
Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
I'm a writer, Rob jay Wright.
Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
No, CFPCE committee should have a member who is an
athletic director. And oh, by the way, eliminate all conference championships.
Here's the problem. I don't disagree with you as far
as the Playoff committee is concerned. I mean, but but
is the everyone's like, does the eye test even really exist?
Speaker 4 (01:13:52):
Is it still a mathematical formula? You follow it?
Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
I'm a complete and total nerd on this stuff. You
follow guys like Dave Bartwo and the College Football Made
They don't buy the eye test. They say, hey, it's
all a formula. They put these numbers in here by
being about to boom, it's out. The future of college
football conference championship games, I think is somewhat in peril.
Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
But they make too much money. They make too much money.
Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
Well, why do you say that it's somewhat.
Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
In peril Because you're going to have a sixteen team playoff, right,
and you're going to too so gosh, my math is
so terrible. Well, that had one more potential game for
each team. So you're getting up to where you'd be
playing almost an NFL schedule game wise, right if you
still have the championship game. So if you have twelve
games in the regular season, right, you get to the
(01:14:36):
actual championship game that's thirteen, right, and you're in a
sixteen team playoff that's gonna be what three games?
Speaker 4 (01:14:43):
Well, there be sixteen games.
Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
Yeah, but you might not win all three games. You
might lose in the first row.
Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
You got to look at it from the perspective of
how many maximum games.
Speaker 3 (01:14:51):
You can play Okay, okay, that's my opment.
Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
That's my opinion.
Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
So they're not going anywhere because they make too much
money off of them.
Speaker 4 (01:14:57):
That's just the reality of it. And Jason B.
Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Diamond rights BYU gets to play Colorado in the Alamo Bowl. Really,
you have so few teams to pick, two big twelve
teams have to play each other.
Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
Yeah, first time to look that up. I goes, that's
right if you make a mistake on that. I did,
because you know, I don't care about the other bowl games.
But how's that happen?
Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
I think it was some sort of deal that they
had set up for the Alamo Bowl because they had
plenty of teams to fill bowl slots. By the way,
there's not a five win team that made a Bowl game.
And then Bake writes Bake's on Fire tonight. Settled down
about the traditional rivals, Arnie. Remember the Seahawks used to
be division rivals with the Broncos in the NFL. Things
change and we get used to it. Hey, that was
(01:15:40):
a tough AFC West team back in the day.
Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
Who was crying about traditional rivals?
Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
You were, well were last segment You're like, oh, on
the traditional rivals and not going to matter anymore. It's like,
you know they still matter, right?
Speaker 2 (01:15:53):
You are you worried that people aren't going to care
about Ohio State and Michigan because of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
No, I just also thought that the difference championships. I
agree with the Texter. I think maybe we would have
to get rid of them and just move on from that.
Speaker 4 (01:16:05):
Well, they're not going anywhere, well, at least for now.
Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
When we come back to the tyrack dot Com studios,
let's get caught up on all the news numbers and
notes of the day with Steve Disager next on Fox
Sports Radio. All right, it's already in playing on the
Fox Sports Sunday Live from the Tyrack dot Com Studios studios.
Speaker 4 (01:16:21):
Sale to Steve de Sager. What's going on? Steve?
Speaker 8 (01:16:24):
You mentioned doing very well and what a weekend for
sports football specifically. And we'll start with college because you
mentioned Colorado against BYU and the Alamo Bowl near the
end of the month. Those two did not play each
other in that conference this year. BYU did not have
to schedule. BYU is scheduled to play a conference game
at Colorado next year. Among the bowl matchups, I did
(01:16:47):
see Oklahoma Navy in Fort Worth in late December and
the Somber twenty seventh the same day.
Speaker 4 (01:16:54):
Thank you yus CEE. SC is going to be in
the Las Vegas ball games Arizona Plane in our now, No,
you didn't have to go to be a douche about.
Speaker 8 (01:17:02):
It, Ahain Steve, I'm sorry, USC, Texas, A and M
in the Las Vegas Bowl Connecticut at Fenwahite Pack against
North Carolina in a bowl game Boston College not in
Boston at Yankee Stadium against Nebraska in late December.
Speaker 3 (01:17:14):
Maybe I'll go to that game.
Speaker 8 (01:17:16):
Baylor in Houston against LSU. Miami's bowl games in Orlando
against Iowa State, Florida Gators in a bowl game in
Tampa against Tulane. San Diego's Holiday Bowl will be on
Fox TV Syracuse against Washington State December twenty seventh. I
noticed Coastal Carolina's bowl game is in its own home
stadium against UDSA.
Speaker 3 (01:17:36):
I don't know there's much travelers there. Yeah, can't believe it.
Speaker 8 (01:17:41):
And yes, in Tampa we'll get Alabama Michigan on December
thirty first, same day we'll get South Carolina in Orlando
against Illinois. Now SMU is into the College Football Playoff.
SMU opens its postseason at Penn State. Clemson opens at
Texas on Saturday, the twenty first. Number one ranked Oregon
is all off until it's Rose Bowl quarterfinal. The Rose
(01:18:02):
Bowl will be Oregon against the winner of Tennessee at
Ohio State, which will be played in a couple weeks.
And Number two Georgia is off until it's Sugar Bowl
quarterfinal New Year's Night, and that'll be Georgia against the
winner of Indiana at Notre Dame, which will be a
Friday night game in about two weeks. I believe those
two have only played once since the nineteen fifties, even
though they're both in Indiana, so I invite that Tonight.
(01:18:25):
The Kansas City Chiefs clinch the AFC West title for
a ninth straight year. Belichick's Patriots had won a division
title eleven straight years through twenty nineteen. If you're looking
for a longest streak, but we had the highest scoring
game of the NFL season today in La Rams forty
four Buffalo forty two. The final we had Philadelphia extend
(01:18:45):
to a nine game winning streak. Detroit's Thursday Night win
was the lions eleventh straight victory. We also had the
Josh Allen day. I can't skip over that first player
in NFL history to have three touchdown passes and three
touchdown runs in the same game and he didn't win.
Rams win by two. Bill's seven game winning streak is
(01:19:07):
over Allen had three hundred and forty two yards passing
and on the ground ten carries and eighty two yards.
Speaker 3 (01:19:13):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (01:19:14):
The Jets are officially out of the playoff chase. So
this is fourteen straight seasons they have missed the playoffs.
That is the longest active streak. The Steelers, essentially before
Terry Bradshaw had gone twenty four straight years without playoffs,
and the old Saint Louis Cardinals through nineteen seventy four
had gone twenty five.
Speaker 3 (01:19:34):
Street Mu's easier now to make the playoffs.
Speaker 8 (01:19:36):
This, yes, absolutely, absolutely it is and people need to
mention that more when some of these stats get get mentioned,
because my goodness, it's seven per conference. I know we've
had expansion at all, but it's seven per conference that
make it. San Francisco is not out beat Chicago.
Speaker 4 (01:19:51):
Today. San Francisco hosts the Rams Thursday May good stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:20:44):
That's enough.
Speaker 3 (01:20:44):
I had to give myself a little break. I got
a lot of stuff going on this week.
Speaker 4 (01:20:48):
Oh you do? Plus?
Speaker 3 (01:20:49):
What know I got on my Hollywood elite friends are
in the studio, and I'm sure I'm gonna have to
be doing stuff for my new TV show coming up soon.
Speaker 4 (01:20:56):
And I think you need to stop claiming it's your show.
Speaker 3 (01:21:00):
I think you're I'm sure other people are gonna be
involved also, I just I'm more sure. I'm more excited
about you know who. My new Hollywood friends are gonna
be like like Ben a Flack, I'm gonna have to
make time to come out to LA and see the
guys and hang out with them.
Speaker 4 (01:21:14):
You're not leaving your house even if you become famous.
I want to.
Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
I'm gonna call you from Snoop's house and go, hey,
I'm with Snoop right now. Don't worry. I'm not inhaling.
But we're watching the game right now, watching this.
Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
You can inhale now. By the way, as our our
our loyal listener. Sooner, Lisa points out, yes, Snoop is
a Steelers.
Speaker 4 (01:21:35):
Fan, Arnie. He will not put up with your Miami Shenanigans.
Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
Wow, are you.
Speaker 4 (01:21:39):
Gonna suddenly bandwagon to the Steelers?
Speaker 3 (01:21:41):
No, then I won't watch the game with Snoop. Then
we can't do that. I'm sorry, step I can't be
friends with him.
Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
After a week fourteen, I know this. Let's get after.
We got a lot that we learned today. We got
a lot still to get to on the program, Arnie's
picture right around the corner. Whose season was saved, whose
season came to an end? Arniere, would you like to
start with week fourteen and what you learn and what
we know?
Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
Well, what I learned is when I keep telling you
every week, or at least the last couple of weeks,
and you've fought me on this, but it turned out
to be true. It's not going to be a great
race for the wild card in the AFC. I think
Denver's gonna have it done. It's gonna be the Colts
in Miami trying to catch everybody else to Miami has
a thirteen percent chance they lose the tiebreaker to the Colts.
(01:22:26):
The Colts only have like a twenty or twenty two chance.
I think we already know the teams that are going
to be in the AFC. For the most part, there's
just gonna be some you know, juggling around and where
they're going to be seeded. So not a lot of
great races wildcard wise in the AFC. NFC A little
bit of a different story when the Rams are number
(01:22:47):
eight and trying to catch the Commanders. But if the
Commanders keep on that same pace, might be the same problem.
Maybe the six and seven teams won't be able to
catch the Commanders because they're two games behind in the
Lost commum.
Speaker 2 (01:23:02):
Right now, I think, I think my personal favorite part
in all of this is you trying to tell me
a you told me whenever I've been sitting here begging
you not to think your Dolphins are in the playoff picture.
But yet you still fuck with me for most of
the first hour to say they were.
Speaker 3 (01:23:17):
I go on thirteen percent. Hands, I got to give
myself a little bit hope. Actually, I looked up to
one said twenty six, one said thirteen. I'm gonna think
thirteen percent chance. But it is gonna be It is
gonna be very tough for.
Speaker 4 (01:23:29):
Miami to do it.
Speaker 3 (01:23:30):
Yes, if not, even if they win, go ten and seven.
I don't think they have a good chance of making
I told you that even you have to you have
to go eleven and six. Remember when I said down
a couple of weeks ago. Now even ten and seven,
you're not going.
Speaker 2 (01:23:47):
Yeah, I don't remember that much all right, so after
you barely remember what you talked about in the first hour. Yeah,
but I remember that fighting me over the Dolphins. I
come with some audio help here too. Oh after week fourteen,
I know this, the Eagles are rolling, but there's there's
trouble in them waters in Philadelphia right now. Listen to
(01:24:11):
AJ brown little frustration afterwards today a little bit.
Speaker 3 (01:24:14):
What are some things you think they need to think
that the offense needs to improve on that I'm passing.
Speaker 4 (01:24:19):
Hey, j I know everybody wants to.
Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
Get in a rhythm, and you cant here this anology. You know,
the receivers, just like running backs, want to get in rhythm.
Speaker 4 (01:24:26):
How hard is it as a receiver to get into.
Speaker 5 (01:24:28):
A rhythm when you guys only throwing the book.
Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
At twenty times?
Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
Incredibly So, I'll save you the rest, Jim, because again
the audio is totally overmatched by the incredible jam in
the background right now.
Speaker 4 (01:24:41):
But when he asks what the problem is passing?
Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
I would ask how difficult it is to get in
sync whenever they're not throwing you the football?
Speaker 4 (01:24:49):
He said, incredibly difficult.
Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
Here's what Jalen Hurts had to say about Aj Brown
not getting the football enough.
Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
There's more to this.
Speaker 5 (01:24:57):
I'm solving anything.
Speaker 9 (01:24:58):
Everybody has a reason and to want more, you know,
it's a fair desire of being in food and as
to what we can be because we've done it.
Speaker 4 (01:25:05):
Just got to build, gotta progress, have to.
Speaker 9 (01:25:08):
Find a way to come together and come and sink
as a unit and play complimentary ball.
Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
So you say no problem here with the Eagles and
their concerns over throwing the football, the lacks of a
passing game right now.
Speaker 4 (01:25:21):
No, I'm not saying I think it's a bubbling issue already.
Speaker 3 (01:25:24):
I'm not saying no problem. I just don't make it
as big as you know what, If you're asking me
who has a bigger problem, Philadelphia or Kansas City, I
would say definitely Kansas City.
Speaker 4 (01:25:35):
Well, okay, the bigger problem.
Speaker 3 (01:25:37):
If you're asking me who has a chance to get
upset first, I would say Kansas City before Philadelphia. Though
there are pretty close. They're very close similarities in these
two teams, are they not?
Speaker 4 (01:25:50):
Or what they are? Do you know where the Eagles
rank as far as passing offense is concerned.
Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
Now, this is yards. This is yards passing this season
out of thirty two NFL teams. You know where they rank?
This is also yards per game?
Speaker 4 (01:26:04):
What twenty eighth, thirty first?
Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
Wow, they're thirty first in the NFL in yards per game.
Speaker 4 (01:26:12):
And yards passing?
Speaker 3 (01:26:13):
So how are they winning nine in a row? What's
Kansas City in the in that stat?
Speaker 4 (01:26:20):
Let's see Kansas City. Well, what's interesting is the Bengals
are number one, right, so that nothing. They're about fourteen
Kansas Okay?
Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
So are we so I mean, are we trying to
say that's that is meaningless? Or the quarterback doesn't that
that big of a meaning for how good the team's
gonna play, or that we talk about their defenses like,
I don't know what that's. I don't what I mean
something to win all those games in a row and
and have be so far down at number thirty one, I.
Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
Will say this, I don't know what it means. I
really don't accept this. They're not very good throwing the football.
I mean, it's just the reality of it. They're only
if you're two yards per game worse than the Bears, Titans,
and Giants. I mean the Panthers and the Colts are
ahead of them, for goodness sakes.
Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
I mean, if I'm playing Philadelphia, I'm putting eleven in
the box and then I'm running two more people on
the field just in case, and everybody's in the box,
and I'm gonna say, Okay, you throw it. I dare you.
I'm gonna treat you like Navy football or whatever. I'm
gonna you either throw it or you're gonna keep running
into my guys. I'm the only way I have to
(01:27:33):
do it otherwise where they can open.
Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
It up on the flip side of it. Do you
know who the best pass defense is in the NFL?
Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
Philadelphia?
Speaker 4 (01:27:41):
That's right. I knew it. I knew And they're also
they're number two in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
I'm sorry, they're number two in the NFL against the pass,
number one total defense overall, and I think they're top ten.
Speaker 4 (01:27:54):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
This doesn't have numbers next to their rankings, because why
would you you want to make us all count them.
They're eighth in the NFL against the run, and as
far as points are concerned, they are the fourth best
team in the NFL. So their offense isn't necessarily explosive,
but they're not making a bunch of mistakes and killing them,
so times wins championships.
Speaker 3 (01:28:16):
I guess is what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
Well, if you don't turn the ball over, Now, if
you have an offense, it turns the football over and
leaves you on the field for double the amount of
time of possession as the other team, then yeah, you're
probably gonna get screwed regardless of how good your defense is,
ARENI You're gonna be hosed on that front, right, So again,
after week fourteen, I don't know what to make of it,
(01:28:39):
but I'm keeping an eye on the issues that are
currently taking place with Philadelphia's passing offense after offensive attack
through the air.
Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
After Week fourteen, I know this, I've never seen more
disrespect to at eleven and two team. Then we give
them Minnesota five kicks? I just do we believe that.
Speaker 4 (01:28:57):
I'm sorry, Eric said we're not allowed to talk about him.
Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Eric can't spell his name correctly, says that we can't
talk about them anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:29:04):
We're like, we can't. You know, there's Sam Darnold's no good.
They're doing the smoking mirrors? How good really are they?
Speaker 7 (01:29:13):
Not?
Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
Only they're winning and they're doing it by a more
than one score. I just hope believe we give a
loven and two team like that no respect whatsoever?
Speaker 2 (01:29:22):
Well, I mean again, how many teams have they beaten
this year with the record of five hundred?
Speaker 4 (01:29:26):
Are better? They're kind of like the Dolphins of last year.
Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
Yeah only, I mean, and again, maybe that's a little
bit unfair because at the time they beat the Niners
in Week two, we thought the Niners are going to
be really good. But they have wins over the Texans
and the Packers, right, and that's it.
Speaker 4 (01:29:42):
But those are good wins. Right. They went to Green
Bay and beat Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
But they won six straight games now and not a
single one of the teams they've beat as a record
over five hundred Colts, Jaguars, Titans, Bears, Cardinals, Falcons.
Speaker 3 (01:29:54):
I guess, so, yeah, exactly. I love that.
Speaker 4 (01:29:58):
But I'm with you on them. I like them.
Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
I don't think they're doing anything in the playoffs. I
would get all my trash talk out of the way,
Boss Scott Shapiro's big Vikings fan, Eric with an a
big Vikings fan, I would get that all out of
the way.
Speaker 4 (01:30:13):
Now. I'd be letting everyone know how good you are
at this moment.
Speaker 3 (01:30:16):
Oh, it's not the Purple people leaders out there, that's
for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:30:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:30:19):
And by the way, I know that you were very
anti their defensive coordinator, your former coach of the Miami Dolphins.
I know we try to set up some sort of
controversy earlier this year between Brian Flores and Tua.
Speaker 4 (01:30:34):
He's done a pretty damn good job as a defensive
coordinator there.
Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
I'll say that, Hey, after Week fourteen, I know this,
and it does kind of pain me to say it.
I think the Raiders are cursed, Arnie. I think they're
absolutely positively cursed. There's no other way to put it.
There's no other way around it. They're just a cursed franchise.
Like I see my man Brendan Brendan textas every tweets
(01:30:58):
at us every.
Speaker 4 (01:30:59):
Single Sunday, and I feel his pain because that's my guy.
He's a fellow Raiders fan. I see Jason tweets out
us every single Sunday night. Pain Pain, Arnie. They're just
I think they're a cursed franchise.
Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
Yeah, but you got the game coming to begin.
Speaker 4 (01:31:14):
I have no idea what he was gonna say.
Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
The number one seed, right, say it again, you cut
out the game against Jacksonville. If you lose that game, you'llfit.
We have the number one seed.
Speaker 4 (01:31:25):
We play Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (01:31:28):
Yeah, you have Jacksonville coming up, don't there?
Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
You go, all right, we'll better lose that one. They
got Falcons next Monday night. Then they got Jacksonville, New
Orleans and Chargers. Now, if I was a real fan,
I would tell you those looks like that looks like
four winnable games. That looks like four winnable games. No, no, no, no,
those are four games that I need to see this
team lose. And you know what, I'm gonna be honest
with you. I wouldn't be mad if Antonio Pierce came
(01:31:51):
back next year. He's not going to He's gonna get fired.
Speaker 3 (01:31:54):
Why do you get fired? I thought if he was
gonna get fired, to be for Dion, But Dion makes
it sound like he's the going there.
Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
Well, why do you think it would be for Dion?
Who's making the calls for the Raiders?
Speaker 3 (01:32:05):
Now Tom Brady, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
Yes, why would he hire anyone but a Patriots dude?
He might try to hire Josh McDaniels again, for goodness sakes,
they're not gonna hire Deon. Dan's not gonna be an
NFL coach next year. I think he's gonna stay with
the Buffaloes. I really truly believe that. I don't think
he cares about coaching his kid in the NFL. I
think he wants his kid to be in a good situation,
which is why I think he likes Antonio Piers, which
could save his job and the Raiders. But I don't
(01:32:29):
think it's gonna save Pierce's job. So yeah, we're curised darning.
After week fourteen, I finally accepted it.
Speaker 3 (01:32:38):
You will get better with Sanders, though he's gonna make
you a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
I'm not counting out cam Ward. I'm not counting out
cam Ward either. I think he's a really good quarterback
if he ends up with the Giants. I think the
Giants got a good one too.
Speaker 3 (01:32:50):
I'm okay with the Ward. I just don't think he's
as good as Sanders. I'm definitely. I don't think it's
one eight one b. I think it's a one in
a two and sure do is going to be my
number one pick.
Speaker 4 (01:33:02):
All right?
Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
Anything else you want to add after week fourteen or
what you learned this weekend?
Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
No, it's just that you know the separation you're starting
to see out there, and you know we're not We're
not seeing some good matchups. They wanted to go ahead
and you know, flex out some games, but they really
couldn't because they couldn't get any other good matchups in
those spots, you know, are.
Speaker 4 (01:33:24):
You talking about it the primetime stuff?
Speaker 3 (01:33:25):
No, like these Sunday night games? And are the Monday
night time games?
Speaker 4 (01:33:31):
Aren't you? That's literally what I just said, though you.
Speaker 3 (01:33:33):
Meant like the one o'clock in the four o'clock Sundays?
Speaker 4 (01:33:36):
Is that prime time? Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:33:38):
Would you relax yourself? You get you got the Raiders.
Just go right to your brain now.
Speaker 2 (01:33:43):
I literally said the primetime games, and you're like, no, no, no,
not the primetime games, the primetime games.
Speaker 4 (01:33:49):
So what you don't think we're getting good enough? Man?
You didn't think that was a good game tonight?
Speaker 3 (01:33:53):
Tonight was a good game. Tonight was a good matchup. Yes,
we had a good one tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:33:57):
You don't you don't like next week's matchup? Do you
know what next week's matchup is? You're complaining about. You're
complaining about primetime matchups. So you don't even know the
damn primetime matchup.
Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
It's the Cowboys, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:34:10):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (01:34:11):
The Cowboys. Don't play primetime next.
Speaker 4 (01:34:13):
Week, they don't play on Sunday night. It's your worthless
producer's favorite football team. That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:34:18):
Someone else, Packers, Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (01:34:21):
Well, I guess your idea of primetime. It's noon on
it's noon Central Time, so that's primetime. In Arnie's world.
They play the Panthers next week, so that's primetime.
Speaker 4 (01:34:30):
Right. Why are you complain about these primetime matchups? That's
a great that's two good teams.
Speaker 3 (01:34:37):
That's a really good matchup. And we have what a
double Monday night game your Raiders play on the Monday night.
Speaker 4 (01:34:43):
Oh, the Monday night games suck next weekend.
Speaker 3 (01:34:46):
You just got done. Tell me how great the primetime
games are.
Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
Sunday night game, You're not gonna hit them all. You
got sixteen games, they're gonna be played next weekend. Your
Thursday night games not too bad either, Rams Niners after
what I just saw from the Rams, and you're building
them up earlier.
Speaker 3 (01:35:01):
We could do better on matchups. I keep saying. The
Monday night games are horrible matchups?
Speaker 4 (01:35:06):
All right? Good stuff? That is what we learned through
Week fourteen.
Speaker 3 (01:35:10):
Like so frustrated with it.
Speaker 4 (01:35:12):
I just I get so angry at you because you
say something and I don't think you know what you're saying.
I don't You're about time matchups, and they're great matchups.
Speaker 3 (01:35:21):
I'm gonna say the opposite, just the big plague, just go.
Speaker 4 (01:35:24):
Great Broncos and Chargers.
Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
Is the Thursday night game in a in not this
coming week, but in a week that's like.
Speaker 3 (01:35:30):
The Packers Seahawks. I don't even think that's a great matchup.
Speaker 4 (01:35:33):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (01:35:35):
He doesn't watch the NFL, He watches the rest. It's
not Dolphins football.
Speaker 4 (01:35:40):
It's not the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
So it doesn't matter right now, is what it basically
comes down to. Well, then let me let me get
let me ask you a question. Then if if two
teams playing each other next Sunday night that are both
in the play and I mean both are right there
in the hunt, not just for a playoff spot with
their division, you got eight and five verses nine and four, INCA.
That's not good enough for you.
Speaker 3 (01:36:02):
No, that's okay. You know the Monday night games are horrible.
Speaker 4 (01:36:05):
Okay, it's okay.
Speaker 5 (01:36:07):
Nothing is ever good enough for him.
Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
You get the Bills and the Lions that CBS is like,
that's our game. You get the Steelers in the Eagles
next week. Fox is like, that's our game. No Monday
night games of the.
Speaker 3 (01:36:24):
Bills and the Lions would have been a good Sunday
night game. That would have been nice.
Speaker 2 (01:36:27):
But you've got to also take care of your afternoon slot.
You gotta take care of CBS and Fox too. You
just can't give everything to primetime.
Speaker 3 (01:36:35):
No, I understand that that would have been a better
matchup though if I was doing this Sunday night.
Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
Oh my gosh. After Week fourteen. I'll add one more
thing here. I know this, I know that day don't
play until Monday night football. But I'm glad people are
actually starting to realize how incredible Joe Burrow's season has
been in the face of absolute adversity. I don't know
what's going wrong for the Bengals this season, but and
he's not going to be in the MVP picture, But
(01:37:01):
I am glad people are starting to realize how impressive
his season is pinned. And I'll tell you this much, Arnie,
I don't necessarily know if anyone's running away with the
MVP right now, even though six touchdowns today, three rushing,
three throwing, eve though it's getting lost right now, pretty
damn impressive right now for Josh Allen. But numbers wise, man,
what a year for Joe Burrow so far. I know
(01:37:23):
it's not a massive matchup. It's the Cowboys, so we'll
do big numbers. Cincinnati's a five and a half point favorite.
But I'm excited to see what Burrow can do on
Monday Night football. They can't try to save something for
the Bengals anything else from week fourteen for you.
Speaker 3 (01:37:35):
No, that's a beautiful matchup. Good primetime matchup on that
one too. Way to point that one out. I just
want to throw that in there.
Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
Right literally, you thought a primetime matchup was three in
the afternoon, All right? When we come back to the
tyrack dot com studio, So let's hit your tweets next.
Right here on Fox Sports Radio, Cowbird does point out
on the x plank you think the Raiders are cursed?
How about being a Browns fan? Can you guys at
least won a playoff game a couple of years ago.
(01:38:02):
You're it's your own fault, you guys. Put it on
Baker Mayfield. I mean, that's your problem.
Speaker 3 (01:38:09):
I have a number. I have a good number for you.
Speaker 4 (01:38:11):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (01:38:12):
I don't know if you saw I retweeted this out.
I can't I can't do it all because I don't
want to just go through a whole bunch of names,
but nineteen ninety, Listen to these names, Okay, nineteen ninety
Eddie Murray, Don matting Leandre Dawson, Dave Winfield, Tim Raines,
Dale Murphy, Pedro Guerrero, Darryl Strawberry, Dave Steve, Daveorghetti, Bruce Souter,
(01:38:35):
George Brett, Willie McGee, Bruce Hurst, Olan, Ryan, Carnie glands For,
Dad Quisenberry, Tony Gwynn, Kirk Gibson, and a few other more.
Those were the top twenty five players in baseball. You
had them all up, they don't come out to the
fifty one million that what Soto's making of this year.
How about that? That's that was the top twenty five
(01:38:56):
back in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (01:38:57):
Fifteen years, seven hundred and sixty five million dollars. There's
an opt out after five seasons for Soto.
Speaker 3 (01:39:05):
Well, think of the top salary Eddie Murray two point
seven million.
Speaker 4 (01:39:11):
So that was was he with the Brat, was he
so with the Oriols? Or was he with Dodgers? By
the Dodgers?
Speaker 3 (01:39:16):
Dodgers. So that's that's only thirty four years ago to
go from two point seven million to fifty one million.
Speaker 4 (01:39:24):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:39:25):
Wow, I love that Dodgers team. By the way, that
was one of my favorite Dodgers teams out sixteen years old.
Speaker 3 (01:39:31):
What nineteen ninety Dodgers?
Speaker 4 (01:39:34):
Well, I thought you said ninety one.
Speaker 3 (01:39:35):
Oh whatever, yeah, ninety ninety one.
Speaker 4 (01:39:37):
Whatever. It's a difference between Brett Butler being on the
team and him not. Brett Butler was a center fielder.
You know, we played wiffle ball a lot whenever we
were kids, not like you kids in your iPads today.
Speaker 2 (01:39:52):
And Cal Daniels was the Dodgers left fielder, and he
had a very unique stance I'm doing it right now
where he would like stand straight up kind of wave
that bat right one. Samuell was a Dodger in nineteen ninety, Arnie,
did you know that nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3 (01:40:06):
One Philly wasn't he want Samuell?
Speaker 4 (01:40:08):
No, ex everything.
Speaker 2 (01:40:09):
What are you talking about with walk? What team didn't
he play for? In fact, you were trying to make
this the nineteen ninety Dodgers. You gotta remember Wan Samuell
went from being the center fielder in nineteen ninety to
be in the starting second basement in nineteen ninety one.
It's like they were doing all the things then that
they're doing now. Let's go the ace on the nineteen
(01:40:30):
ninety one Dodger Staff, Tim Belcher, Yeah, good, Wow. Anything
else you want to know about the nineteen nine that's about.
Speaker 3 (01:40:38):
That's about everything.
Speaker 1 (01:40:39):
I do.
Speaker 2 (01:40:39):
You think that's about when I fell out of love
with baseball. Mantam Finnis rights. The Vikings didn't choose their
schedule or their opponents. They are just going out there
and winning, whether it's ugly or not.
Speaker 4 (01:40:50):
Artie is right.
Speaker 2 (01:40:51):
They're just like Rodney Dangerfield. Can't get no respect around here,
playing and simple, they win.
Speaker 3 (01:40:56):
I can see how Viking fans feel like that, Chris.
They right now they have the best chance of reaching
a super Bowl in a long long time.
Speaker 4 (01:41:05):
This could be their year. Enjoy it now. That's all
I'll say.
Speaker 2 (01:41:10):
Josh Wright's next week Colts in Denver. If Colts win,
they'll take the seventh seat. Look at each team's remaining schedule.
Speaker 4 (01:41:18):
I think you're the.
Speaker 3 (01:41:19):
Man who's got a fairly easy one. I don't have
it up in front of me, but I think it's
somewhat easy if I remember.
Speaker 2 (01:41:24):
As it stands right now, as far as the when
we get to football, I want to say Western Conference
all the time for the AFC. But as it stands
right now, the Colts sit at six and seven, same
as the Dolphins, two games back of the eight and
five Chargers, Ravens, Broncos, Texans obviously are more of the division.
Speaker 4 (01:41:46):
Here's what the Colts have left.
Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
Broncos next week, Oh my gosh, Arnie, then the Titans,
the Giants, and the Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (01:41:56):
You can't pick an easier schedule with Broncos. They couldn't
play the Raiders three times. I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (01:42:02):
Originally not Bronco's. On the other hand, you said they
had a pretty easy schedule.
Speaker 3 (01:42:07):
I thought they did.
Speaker 4 (01:42:08):
Okay, you tell me how you feel about this.
Speaker 2 (01:42:10):
Colts at the Chargers at the Bengals home for the Chiefs.
Wrong about that one, but you might be right about
the Chiefs. What will the Chiefs have to play for
on January fifth?
Speaker 4 (01:42:22):
Anything?
Speaker 3 (01:42:22):
Still, that's a tough go on.
Speaker 2 (01:42:25):
So Denver's got a tough go around on January fifth
to go up against Carson Wentz and the Chiefs at home.
Because Mahomes is out and Kelsey's out and Chris Jones
is gonna sit out.
Speaker 4 (01:42:35):
I mean, as it stands right now, the Chiefs might
not have to play their starters for the last.
Speaker 2 (01:42:40):
Two weeks of the season. They still will, They still will.
But I guess my point is I'm trying to have
you back on this one a little bit. It might
be a little easier than it looks right now.
Speaker 3 (01:42:49):
Is that looking good for Miami to get in after
what that schedule for the Colts is, that's for sure?
Speaker 4 (01:42:54):
And they're so the Colts.
Speaker 2 (01:42:55):
Dude, Josh, you might be onto something so much for
you saying that it's over so much for that Arnie huh.
Speaker 4 (01:43:02):
And then one more here the.
Speaker 2 (01:43:07):
Man Brendan rights idea to fix the college football playoff.
Make it so that the conference champs are only guaranteed
a spot in the playoff, and not the first round
by they have to earn the first round by by
being one of the top four teams in the.
Speaker 4 (01:43:21):
Nation after the regular season.
Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
Oh, I agree, Well a white man, Wait a minute, then,
if you have to win the conference championship to earn
a bye, right, is that what he's saying.
Speaker 4 (01:43:33):
Well, you have to be a top four seed is
basically what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (01:43:37):
Well, then you're going to give it to teams that
didn't want to finish second in the SEC.
Speaker 4 (01:43:41):
Then maybe they're the better teams. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:43:45):
I'm not against that. I just wanted them to realize
what he's saying, though.
Speaker 2 (01:43:49):
You have to earn the first round by by being
one of the top four teams in the nation after
the regular season.
Speaker 3 (01:43:54):
Could you be in the top four in the regular
nation if you don't win your conference championship? I guess you.
Speaker 4 (01:44:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44:01):
Texas was three in the College Football Playoff Franklins today
and Penn State was four. Yep, which, by the way,
I still don't know how Penn State was four.
Speaker 4 (01:44:11):
Okay, can you explain that to me?
Speaker 3 (01:44:14):
I felt they were great. I didn't think I didn't
expect them to be there, but I was cut by
surprise on that.
Speaker 4 (01:44:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44:18):
And if you're wondering what we're talking about, because the
playoff seedings, Oregon's one, Georgia's is two, Texas is five,
and Penn State is six, followed by Notre Dame at seven,
Ohio State at eight, Tennessee at nine, and Indiana at ten.
Speaker 3 (01:44:33):
What were you thought the numbers? You thought Penn State
should be at seven? In Notre Dame in six.
Speaker 2 (01:44:38):
No, no, no, I'm talking about the actual rankings when
they gave them out. Oregon was one, Georgia was two,
Texas was three, Penn State was four, with Notre Dame
at five. Like, make it make sense. It just makes
because three and four were the other conference champions, right,
exactly right, so Texas was at three. I just make
it makes sense? Just no sense whatsoever? All right here
(01:45:03):
to make sense for us? One final time tonight is
the great Steve de Seger with everything that's trending in
the world of sports. What's going on, Steve, And.
Speaker 8 (01:45:10):
As we mentioned earlier in the show, Number one organ
is off until it's Rose Bowl quarterfinal. Number two Georgia
is off until it's Sugar Bowl quarterfinal. Also getting first
round byes today, conference champions Boise State it'll be in
the Fiesta Bowl New Year's Eve, and Arizona State, which
is won six in a row, it'll be in the
Peach Bowl. And as far as the AFC playoff chase,
(01:45:31):
those four teams that are eight and five right now,
that those could be the last four teams into the postseason.
No Colts, no Dolphins. Colts and Dolphins reached two games back.
And keep in mind, for Miami, Colts have already beaten
the Dolphins head to this yright exactly. So yeah, Miami
won an overtime game.
Speaker 4 (01:45:48):
They're gonna need some help.
Speaker 8 (01:45:50):
I mentioned earlier in the show that the Ravens a
couple Monday nights ago did beat the Chargers head to head.
That's why the Ravens have the five seed right now
and the Chargers down to six after tonight's loss. Chargers
versus Broncos head to head in LA on a Thursday
night game in a week and a half. That game
was flexed from a Sunday to a Thursday night. So
good luck to all of you people pining tickets that
(01:46:12):
thinking you were going to a weekend game. Now you
have to go on a workday at five o'clock near
the LA Airport. There's no traffic whatsoever, none, zero.
Speaker 4 (01:46:21):
Good luck.
Speaker 8 (01:46:22):
The Chiefs beat the Chargers tonight nineteen to seventeen on
a thirty one yard field goal on the final play
in typical Chiefs fashion, it to hit the upright and
then went through Matthew Wright four for four on field goals.
Wide receiver Lad mcconkee of LA was out with a
knee and shoulder problem. Chargers in the first half had
six drives, six first downs, and then after halftime their
(01:46:43):
first two drives two touchdowns. Chargers had the late lead,
but a fourteen play drive ended the game for the Chiefs.
They took up the last four to thirty five on
the clock, kicked a field goal to win nineteen to seventeen.
And then there's the final score. In La Rams forty
four Buffalo forty two. Rams had been up thirty one
to fourteen in the third quarter. The Bill's seven game
(01:47:06):
winning streak is over Matthew Stafford three hundred twenty yards
passing two touchdowns. In Stafford's last four games, He's up
to ten touchdowns no interceptions. Rams had a touchdown in
the first half on a block punt return and wound
up winning by two. Seattle won at Arizona thirty to eighteen.
Kyler Murray has lost seven straight head to head against Seattle.
(01:47:28):
This Seahawks could be winning this division. Somebody has to.
Seattle is five and one on the road this year.
San Francisco completely dominated the Bears in the first half.
Is twenty four to nothing at the break, thirty eight
to thirteen the Final. Chicago has lost seven straight. Caleb
Williams was sacked seven times, one fumble. He's been sacked
fifty six times this year. We still get a few
(01:47:49):
games to go. In the first half, San Francisco out
gained them three hundred and nineteen yards to four. Bears
had one first down in the first half. Today they
are still winning on the road. Oh and six. And
then there's the New York Giants. They are winless at
home this season.
Speaker 4 (01:48:06):
Oh and seven.
Speaker 8 (01:48:07):
Now lost at home to the Saints fourteen eleven. And yes,
quarterback Derek Carr the Saints with a possible broken left
hand and concussion. New Orleans blocked a field goal in
the final seconds, a thirty five yard attempt fourteen eleven
The final. Giants have lost eight straight. Overall, they committed
twelve penalties today. Quarterback Drew Locke started oh of eight
passing in the first quarter. Jacksonville had lost five in
(01:48:30):
a row, but won a ten to six final at
Tennessee Tank bigsby a touchdown run with about seven minutes left.
It was the only touchdown of the whole game. Jacksonville
in the first half ten carries nine yards rushing and
mac Jones had thrown two interceptions and they still wind
up winning. Las Vegas has lost nine in a row.
Lost at Tampa Bay twenty eight to thirteen. In the
(01:48:52):
first quarter. It was first downs eleven to one for
the Bucks, yardage one fifty four to fourteen the Raiders
eventually Baker Mayfield three touchdowns and three turnovers. Las Vegas
quarterback Aidan O'Connell was carted off late third quarter with
a knee injury. In an air cast, he had one
costly red zone interception that ended a ten minute drive
(01:49:14):
to open the second half.
Speaker 2 (01:49:16):
He threw it right to him. He threw it right
to the dude disager. I threw my remote when that happened.
Speaker 4 (01:49:23):
Suck.
Speaker 8 (01:49:24):
The Raiders on red zone tds were one for four today.
But oh my gosh, on the positive side, there is none.
They had only had five takeaways all year, worse than
the league. They had three in the first half against
Baker Mayfield today thanks BA. Of course, they had a
couple more turnovers, So that's twenty five turnovers for the Raiders.
Speaker 4 (01:49:43):
So for bad Steve thinks count.
Speaker 8 (01:49:46):
Minnesota won at six straight forty two to twenty one,
beating Kirk Cousins in Atlanta, Sam Darnold five touchdown passes,
three to Jordan Addison, two to Justin Jefferson. Did you
know Justin Jefferson is already up to seven thousand career
receiving yards. Wow, seventy three games, seven thousand career receiving yards.
It took Lance all where seventy two games. By the way,
(01:50:08):
the Hall of Famer AFL receiver for the Chargers, which
is doubly impressive because you can hit the receiver all
the way down the field back then, and he was
still putting up numbers. The Miami win was in overtime
against the Jets thirty two to twenty six. Jets had
a field goal in the last minute of regulation for
a brief lead. Dolphins tied it with a fifty two
yard field goal late in regulation, got the game winning
(01:50:29):
touchdown pass on the only drive of overtime.
Speaker 3 (01:50:32):
See this is what you're missing about that tiebreaker. The
Colts win the division, Houston drops back to the wild
card And wait a minute, and Miami plays the Texans
this week. If they beat them, they'll get the tiebreaker
over the Texans. That's how you do it.
Speaker 8 (01:50:50):
But of the non division winners in the AFC, the
Ravens are looking the best because right now five versus four,
that means the five seed Ravens will be playing the
worst division winner as it stands right.
Speaker 4 (01:51:02):
Now if they make it. Yes, I will note as
far as the you.
Speaker 3 (01:51:05):
Have a hard schedule if I remember correctly, but I
could be wrong.
Speaker 4 (01:51:10):
Correctly, that could be good. That could be that sense
right there? Whose schedule is in together?
Speaker 3 (01:51:15):
They got the Giants, the Steelers, the Texans in the Browns. Okay,
it's not that tough. It's I'm wrong again now about that.
Speaker 4 (01:51:26):
As I recall, but I could be wrong.
Speaker 8 (01:51:28):
That could apply to pretty much anything everything anyway, Can
I note? As the Jets lost in overtime at Miami,
Aaron Rodgers had had thirty four straight starts with under
three hundred yards passing over the last three years until today.
Speaker 4 (01:51:43):
Yeah, I was congratulations. Defense.
Speaker 8 (01:51:48):
The Mets did agree to a fifteen year deal with
outfielder Juan Soto. My goodness, college hoops Missouri beat number
one Kansas.
Speaker 2 (01:51:56):
Back to you, Thanks Steve, have a great week, buddy,
Thanks you. Next Sunday, is there any I noticed here?
I think we've hit most of the Roman numerals right,
what we learned at We.
Speaker 3 (01:52:05):
Didn't even put Kirk Kurbstreet's Sun signed with Michigan if
anybody cares.
Speaker 4 (01:52:10):
I saw that, especially after the Bryce Senderwood stuff where
he got what twelve million dollars. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:52:18):
My thinking is maybe Chase is into it for the
four year run and the other one is only going
to stay around a year or two and try to
go to the NFL, or two or three years and
go to the NFL.
Speaker 2 (01:52:28):
I think he hates his dad, so he's going to Michigan.
To put it in his face, they'd be like my
son going to like Texas.
Speaker 4 (01:52:35):
I'm like, what are you doing? Kid?
Speaker 2 (01:52:36):
He looks at me and goes, I want to win.
Dad like shut up? But no, I yeah, that threw
me off a little bit. I didn't I didn't know
he was that good.
Speaker 4 (01:52:45):
To be honest, I don't know that he is.
Speaker 3 (01:52:47):
Well, he's going to Michigan.
Speaker 4 (01:52:49):
I mean is.
Speaker 2 (01:52:51):
Why would you go to a place where it seems
like to have Okay, hold on, let me pause for
a moment, because I just almost said why would you
go to a place where it appears that they have
a set starter when now almost a decade ago. That's
what Baker Mayfield did when he went to Oklahoma. So
maybe I need to check myself on that one a
little bit. But I'm gonna say, why would you go
to place where they feel like they have a set starter?
Speaker 4 (01:53:12):
Arnie? Why would you do that.
Speaker 3 (01:53:15):
Because he thinks he's not going to be in there
for the entire four years?
Speaker 4 (01:53:20):
Who would you vote for? Heisman? Would hit Arnie Spaniards?
Speaker 3 (01:53:26):
Vote for heist from Boise? I would give it to him.
Speaker 4 (01:53:30):
Would you?
Speaker 3 (01:53:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:53:32):
I submitted my vote tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:53:34):
Oh did you?
Speaker 4 (01:53:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:53:37):
By the way, vote you can't tell us who you
voted for.
Speaker 2 (01:53:39):
You're right, I can't. But I voted for gent number one.
What number one in the rushing attempts yards, yards from scrimmage, touchdowns,
touchdowns from scrimmage, total touchdowns, total points. And he was
part of a top five offense every week that he
went up against. Every team that he played, their number
(01:54:00):
uber one goal was to stop him, right and they
couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (01:54:03):
Played well against Oregon.
Speaker 2 (01:54:05):
He's going to break the single season rushing record potentially.
So yeah, I like him a lot.
Speaker 3 (01:54:10):
So I'm going to get a great steal with him
because with the overvalue of quarterbacks, says, those two are
the first two picks you got, Hunter, you always want
to take. Maybe there's a couple of wide receivers that
are going to be taking you know, reached on so
you can get this this kid, like the eight, nine
or ten pick I keep.
Speaker 2 (01:54:31):
Now, you know I am already all in on the draft,
right I know that. Of course I'm already nerded out.
There is a buzz that he could be a top
five pick. Oh really, can you imagine a running back
going in the top five? The analytic people would lose
it loving.
Speaker 3 (01:54:46):
Mind, like number nine or number ten is what I
was hearing.
Speaker 2 (01:54:49):
By the way, there's plausible deniability if you guys try
to clip this and say, look, Chris Plank is telling
you his vote. I just I just said I had
him on my ballot. I had three choices there. I
didn't say who I picked my vote. But right now
I was looking at tankethon Am as a top ten pick,
aren't you I think he's going to go in the
top five?
Speaker 5 (01:55:06):
Wait, you have a Heisman vote? Yes, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (01:55:10):
I told you it before that I was talking to
you about him.
Speaker 3 (01:55:12):
I'm the only one that doesn't have a vote for anything.
Speaker 4 (01:55:15):
And let's keep it that way.
Speaker 2 (01:55:17):
Yeah, I'm asking you, well, I had who's to say
I've submitted it yet.
Speaker 5 (01:55:21):
I really didn't know you had to vote though, because tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:55:27):
Turners in. You should get yours taken away.
Speaker 4 (01:55:30):
You should have the people that listen.
Speaker 2 (01:55:34):
It's a great balance between not putting too much on
Championship weekend and having Championship weekend as a gauge. Right
when when you have a running back like Gent that
UNLV had shut down earlier this year, and by shutting down,
he still ran for over one hundred yards and he
goes for.
Speaker 4 (01:55:49):
Over two bills against him, I mean, come on.
Speaker 2 (01:55:52):
Arnie, that's that's your dude right there, especially when and
by the way, Dylan Gabriel not getting enough Heisman love
for what he's done this year, not enough, and Shad
Door Sanders everyone's losing their mind over Travis Hunter. Dude,
look at your Door's numbers. And I'm not just saying
that because he's a future Raider, Arnie. He's worthy of
Heisman conversations.
Speaker 3 (01:56:12):
Oh, absolutely worthy of it. But I'd still give it to.
Speaker 2 (01:56:15):
Yeah, I still think in the end it is gonna
end up being Travis Hunter is the guy that's that's
got the big numbers right now.
Speaker 4 (01:56:20):
But do not rule out Ashton Genty. I think he's
got a chance to win.
Speaker 2 (01:56:24):
This thing because but by the time we reconvene next weekend, well,
another winner.
Speaker 4 (01:56:29):
Of the Heisman Trophy.
Speaker 3 (01:56:30):
Oh rightow, they'll announce it next Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (01:56:33):
That's true, all right, when we come back to the
tyrack dot com studios. I don't know if it's still
after he is what two and six performance this weekend
in college football?
Speaker 4 (01:56:41):
I don't know if it's still what you dont care for?
One to three?
Speaker 2 (01:56:44):
I'm sorry, but Arnie's picks are coming up next on
Fox Sports Radio, So I gotta know Arnie throughout the
show tonight, where Mary Matt crushed it, where Patrick Swaka
was incredible, Steve de Seger was on point on updates, yes,
and are behind the scenes audio crew gave un incredible audio.
(01:57:06):
Were you just wearing out your Hollywood friend asking her like, Hey,
that's not good?
Speaker 4 (01:57:10):
Happy? Is it gonna be the Arnie Show? Were you
just wearing them out?
Speaker 3 (01:57:14):
I wanted to find out more stuff about it.
Speaker 5 (01:57:16):
Yeah, go ahead, Mary, before he lies to you. He
was he was.
Speaker 3 (01:57:19):
He was definitely and forth. You know, this is gonna
be a big figure for me. You know, it's not
too many times. I could become television famous where they're
writing a TV show about me and I could hang
out with people like Matt Damon and Ben Aflac and
Snoop and but again those guys.
Speaker 2 (01:57:35):
Is it the Arnie Spaniers show starring Arnie Spaniard. I mean,
that's the only way you're gonna end up in that
kind of position.
Speaker 1 (01:57:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:57:41):
If they want to use me as Arnie Spaniard, that's
the problem.
Speaker 4 (01:57:45):
Then how are you gonna have Hollywood friends?
Speaker 3 (01:57:49):
I could have a recurring role and.
Speaker 4 (01:57:51):
Say, okay, there you go, there's a there's a possibility.
Speaker 3 (01:57:54):
Yeah, I could have that. I don't know if they
believe that I'm a talk show host, that could be
your problem. I don't know if I can play a
talk I don't know if I can play a talk
show host on TV.
Speaker 6 (01:58:05):
But like, are you sure you want to be like
a washed up Hollywood person? You cause your point, you know,
they have their ups and downs. You'll end up I
don't know, like Britney Spears, but.
Speaker 3 (01:58:14):
You said you feel that they feel confident they're gonna
get this on TV, right.
Speaker 4 (01:58:17):
You know why.
Speaker 5 (01:58:18):
I don't know why you're repeating things that said off air.
Speaker 2 (01:58:20):
On you listen, we got to get to your picks, Arnie.
You only got a couple of minutes left, So take
it away. Where do you want to start?
Speaker 3 (01:58:30):
Obviously there's no college, so we'll start with the game tomorrow.
I'm gonna take Dallas plus the five and a half
at home again Cincinnati. I think that's some good value there.
One game, Chris. You know what that one game in
college is, don't you. That's right? Take an Army wall
in five and a half. Why you're an Army guy,
(01:58:52):
I know that, right.
Speaker 2 (01:58:54):
I forgot to mention while you say that, I actually,
uh may or not have bryceon daily on my Heisman ballot.
Speaker 4 (01:59:02):
He's the quarterback for Army. He's a stud.
Speaker 3 (01:59:04):
Wow. I would have taken Miami Dolphins plus the two
and a half at Houston will give me the Lions
laying two and a half against the Buffalo Bills. And
I love the Pittsburgh Steelers plus four and a half
on the road in Philadelphia. Take it on the Eagles.
So there you have my pigs. Two of them as
you please. No longer strictly Fred Entertainment purposes only.
Speaker 4 (01:59:24):
Nothing on the NBA and your boys going for the
crown in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (01:59:30):
No, nothing, Nothing on the end.
Speaker 4 (01:59:31):
Mid the end season tournament. Is it doing it for you? No?
Speaker 3 (01:59:35):
I know where We're we four and oh or something?
Speaker 4 (01:59:37):
Yeah, Biggs, I mean the NBA Cups. We're getting there, dude.
Speaker 3 (01:59:43):
Well, pop down campaign? Does that count on my parlay
card that the Knicks won at all?
Speaker 4 (01:59:50):
I don't believe that it does.
Speaker 3 (01:59:51):
No, that doesn't count.
Speaker 4 (01:59:52):
But your Knicks play the Hawks in the first round
coming up? When is that? Is that later this week? Yeah?
