Speaker 1 (00:01):
You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Oh it's true on a Fox Sports football Saturday.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
That's right, Mas see full of the giggles.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
It's been a fun Saturday already and we are one
minute and forty seconds in.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
I think that's a good sign it is.

Speaker 5 (00:15):
It's been a wild day, a fun day, a fun
day because again, none of my teams are playing today
that I have, you know, any true fandom in so
all of the games today were fun, high scoring, and
I just got to enjoy them.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Right now, we are in Do you know that shows
stranger things?

Speaker 6 (00:32):
Do I?

Speaker 5 (00:33):
I just told you it's spooky season. It is, and
how excited I am about it. I wanted to wear
an a Tani shirt and I went with the spooky
shirt because tis the season.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
So you know that you're familiar then with the upside down. Yes, Well,
if you're a fan of college football and you've never
seen Stranger Things, I'm here to tell you this is what.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
The upside down feels like.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
You're in the upside down, because I mean I live
in a world where today I mean Arizona State Okay,
so that's fine. Playoff team last year beat undefeated Texas Tech, like,
undefeated is almost the worst place to be because ole miss,
oh Miss undefeated seventeen unanswered to the fourth quarter by Georgia.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Thank you very much, you know what I'm saying. And
then and then things like like.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Manci, Vanderbilt hasn't beaten LSU since like two years after
World War two.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
After World War two.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
Oh no, I mean, but yes, you'll.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Say like Vanderbilt.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Remember last week when I was like, you can't lose
Northwestern because historically there has been a top of the
class in college football, all right, upper class in college football,
a middle class in college football, and a lower class
in college football. And we all know where we stayed.
I have long since said sometimes being in the upper

(01:58):
class COSG football is the worst. Because I'm I'm a
Michigan fan. For example, I believe that Michigan should be
competing for national titles every single year.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
However, when you just kind of.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Watch everything, Michigan is not really competing for national championships
every year, as much as I want, as much as
I believe they should, they're not really. But if you
go ten and two and you beat Ohio State more
often than not, they'll be very happy. With you just
asked Lloyd Carr, Right, that's kind of what the standard is.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Right.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
But like, if you ask anybody at Michigan, they will
tell you the standards championships. If you ask anybody at
Penn State, they will tell you the standards Championships.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
I would ask you, where is that standard?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Because Penn State as a one jack since Jill You
know what I'm saying, Like you know what I mean,
Like it's been forever. James Franklin, it won a big game,
he was there for twelve years. Like like everybody in
college football is about a feel, is about how does
your team make me feel? Because we're not here because
this is the best sport. We're not here because it's
the highest level of football. We know that happens tomorrow. Right,

(03:02):
We're not here because we are here because I have
this visceral connection to this place and as a result,
I care so outside of this.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
And I think the NIL has done this.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I think it has eliminated the middle class of college football.
Wisconsin hadn't gotten shut out at home since nineteen eighty.
It has happened twice in the last two weeks. I'm
not saying that Wisconsin is supposed to be. They're a team.
If they lose two games and beat their rivals and

(03:36):
play at a New Year six, everybody will be happy
about it.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Do you know what I'm saying? Because they're not Ohio State.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
They know they're not Ohio State, but like they're not Purdue,
and they look like Purdue.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Oh marn I hate to be the one to tell
you that you we may not actually be in the
upside down. We just may be in what is now
college football, and not just because of nil, but because
of the expansion of the college playoff, all of that.
The feelings you're talking about, I'd always heard about that
how college football is the best because there's no money involved.

(04:10):
I mean, under the table it was, but there was
no money involved and you just played for pride and
love and glory.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
Now that's not really it.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Now there's a really thin line of the difference between
what is playing in college football and what's playing in
the NFL. They're getting closer and closer together, and so
I think this upside down world that you want to
be in, it's actually just reality.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
This is the new norm.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Cauz.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Like just even something as simple as it is October eighteenth,
and we're watching Tennessee and Alabama and it's a top
fifteen matchup.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Both of these teams have a loss. Yeah, it's October eighteenth.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
That is not something that in prior years that you
would say are like oh, miss Georgia earlier today, those
are generally a matchup of four undefeated.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
One team's even with their first loss.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Because you played the Citadel week one, East West Missouri
State week two, in southeastn Louisiana week three, and then
you walked in the.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
In come you're a usc schedule as far.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
And then you walk in to your actual SEC play
and then we separate kind of the men from the boys,
right but right here, I just think the separation, like
the middle class has fallen off to where you have
schools like like in this nil era, Michigan has won
a national championship, Penn State was in the College football playoffs.

(05:34):
Right now they fight their coach. We'll see how that goes.
Michigan lost their coach, will see how that goes going forward.
But like your school, like Georgia, you're not happy with
this loss. It's like, dude, you may need to just
I mean, you're not happy with the way your program
is going so as far even though you do get
this one, you like that one loss or your Alabama
and you're that one with that power ball.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Ticket saying I can't wait to buy out Kaitlin de Moore.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
It may be better. It may be better to stick
with what you got. It may be better to stick
with what you got, because like, losing two three games
is going to become the norm. I know it is shocking,
and I know it stinks that I was ready to
flus Michigan down the toilet last week after they lost
the US she googling Sharon Moore's buyout. But the reality

(06:19):
is everything is in front of this team, do you
know what I'm saying, Like for a team like Wisconsin,
nothing is in front of them.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
It just seems like you're so used to at one
point when you were in the middle of college football
and at Michigan you lost and the door closed.

Speaker 6 (06:34):
Now it's like, oh, two losses, the doors not even
closed yet. It's just swinging. It's swinging, and that's that's
the difference.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
But I'm telling you, I feel like that's just going
to be the norm now and the changes are going
to continue to come.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
What the college football that you know and you loved.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Martin, It's gone, and and you know what, there are
some benefits to it. There are some benefits to it.
I mean, yeah, like we're watching like, no, we watched
Ohio State. But to play Texas week one, something that
would have never happened twenty years ago. Sure, because why
why am I gonna do that? I'm gonna see them
a national chamions.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
You will need to leave off the Texas to go
to Columbus Ohio play a road game.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
I think not right? Would it ever happened? Right?

Speaker 2 (07:16):
But now you have to, like very much like in
college basketball, like you gotta booch your resume to make
it into this playoff. So I said it last year
kind of tongue in cheek. I really think this is true.
Now we have seen the last undefeated national champion in
college football.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
Yeah, I think I would put money on that. I
think I'm comfortable agreeing to that.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
I think we just just with.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
The short sample size since we've done all blood changes.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well just all the changes the impact the NIL has
on not only just the rest of the rosters in
your conference, on your own depth on your own depth,
Like that's the thing that is the biggest issue. I think,
Like when you look at Penn State, Penn State's quarterback
broke his ankle. Now, I think probably the loss of
the end broken his ankle, But his quarterback broke is.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Et cool right now.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
The backup for him last year is quarterbacking a top
twenty five team in Missouri.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Years ago, he would be both.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Pabula would be at Penn State, he just would and
he'd be starting now. And you know he would have
gotten a year and a half a starting That's what
would have been.

Speaker 7 (08:18):
Are you kind of presenting this as as it being
like a bad thing or a good thing?

Speaker 6 (08:22):
Though, I think he's confused.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's just I am as somebody I grew up in
Louisiana was like football Friday, football, Saturday, football Sunday. I
am acknowledging the fact that this everything has changed, like
things will not be the same anymore.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Sure, like the world is different.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
It feels like.

Speaker 7 (08:41):
More parody is a good thing, right for more, Unless
you're a fan of one of those schools that was
one of the perennial every single Alabama, you know, Georgia
in recent years, like it's if you were one of
tho schools, then it feels like a step back, even
Michigan to an extent where the standard is quote unquote
a championship every year. But for all the other schools
like Indiana who now have a fighting chance SMU Tennessee,

(09:04):
like programs that are still considered you know that.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
We're good are now just feel even better about it exactly.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
But I also think though, like to the point I
was making, the middle class is gone in that like
Indiana went from being bad historically too now I think
today the best team in college football well.

Speaker 7 (09:25):
And even you get you get schools that are at
the top quote unquote of college football still losing games.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Oregon just lost to Indiana.

Speaker 7 (09:32):
You had, you know, Penn State as of a few
weeks ago, We're still considered one of the best teams
in college football. They dropped a game to Oregon, Like
it's just all these Georgia just lost. No, they beat
almost today, but they almost lost the area They have
lost a game this year. Can't remember to who I'm
you know, blanking on that right now. But all the
I think the only legitimate title contenders left that are
actually undefeated right now are Ohio State in Indiana unless

(09:54):
I'm forgetting someone with.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Georgia Tech is undefeated, They've won some big games, but
I mean, look and they have a isle of play
that in the playoff, I feel like could could cause
some trouble for a team or two. But the point
I'm making is that, like I think of a school
like Michigan State, Michigan State lost by thirty five or
twenty five today, right, that's not how that used.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
To be saying I'm sorry, yeah, but this point.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
No, But you like like that, like Michigan State would
have normally been an eight win team. They would have
beat all one of their non conference games split. And then,
like I used to say, the best place to be
in college football is a Kentucky fan, because you're gonna
finish seven and five to eight and four.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Every single year. You'll go to a ball game.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
And every year you'll have you'll play Georgia close, so
you'll play LSU closer.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
You'll beat Alabama.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
You'll win one of those, and that's your national championship game. Now, congratulations,
you're gonna lose that game by thirty five.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Yeah, it's you know, I actually think we're gonna see
more changes continue happening that we're not even aware of yet,
Like what the discrepancy that you're talking about, it's going
to get.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Even worse, Like we're only seeing the beginning of it.
Because I agree with you.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
I see what you're saying that the middle class now
it's non existent because of this.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
It's gonna get even worse and worse, and we're only
seeing the beginning of it.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
You see LA football, I know, we talk about it,
you know, in a good light.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
The last two two or three weeks u c LA
was a team that everything would compete, where they competing
for national championships. I mean, Steve Hartman might tell you that.
But let's be honest, right, Let's be honest. Their biggest
win is beating USC, right, their biggest win, but there
still would finish above five hundred, right, nil comes along.
They're the one of the worst teams in Power five

(11:36):
over the last four years, not in.

Speaker 6 (11:38):
The last couple of weeks.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Even with the last couple of weeks, that's the point.
Even going on a three with two to three game win.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Streak, there's still one of the worst teams in the
Power Five in the last three years.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
You see what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's what the middle class is done. And I think
I don't know what if good, bad and different. It
just it is what it is.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
So you know, you know, you know, you.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Were looking for a team to root for earlier to
start of the year, I would pick Goliath.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Not David.

Speaker 6 (12:06):
Okay, sounds good.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
I picked the big guy. I'm not rooting for the
little folks anymore. Uh, speaking of Goliath, A giant sized
performance in Major League Baseball last night, like giant, extreme, incredible,
massive adjectives to describe things that you've never seen before.

(12:30):
So you know what, me and MONTI kind of bust
out to me and Webster and see if we can
define what we saw yesterday, because Lord have mercy. We'll
get to that and just a man and Martin Wis's

(13:48):
Benny winner, Dexter's Human Dodgers Baseball World champion mont It says,
he's your that's your best friend. There there you go,
all right, and yeah, let's do that. Team eminem, thank you.
Good team to be on. Not as good as a
team to be on as the Los Angeles Dodgers, though,
because here's the thing about the Dodgers, and I know

(14:09):
that you know I have vacation over here.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
You live here you know what I'm saying in Dodger Land.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
So I'll just say I felt like the Dodgers this
postseason have kind of had moments of Wow, that other
team just did something really dumb, you know what I mean. Now,
to their credit, to the credit the Dodgers not doing
a lot of dumb stuff, you know, because it winning.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
The dumb stuff did he you know, replaced with home runs,
so we let it go.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
And let's be honest.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
I had the volume down watching that game, and if
everybody else did, we were all confused.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
So I'm not it's tales job to know, but you
know it was. It was out of the ordinary. Okay, now.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Something else that happened out of the ordinary, I mean
really legitimately, Hodinorary and its team of today's show, we're
gonna talk about the upside down, the upside down because
we've never seen anything like this. But first, real quick,
during the MLB post season, Strauss made history as the
first brand ever on helmet's work where built to perform

(15:14):
smart pocket design, real comfort and.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Durability from grit to glory.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Gear up today at Strauss dot com as S t
R a U S S dot com. Strauss made history,
and Showyltani made more history right after that, and.

Speaker 6 (15:28):
Right hander Patrick dials and old Tani.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Towering wall, high drive right field. He's done it again.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Show hey old Tani to the top of the pavilion
in right field.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
I just wondered, like, you're calling that game and needs
to hit this third homer.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
It's like, dude, I'm out of call.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
That's probably AM seventy. I am seventy right five seventy
Ali Sports Dodgers Radio Network. That's what Stephen Nelson on
the call. Yeah, Martin, that's not.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
The upside down that is every single day show. Hey Otani.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
But it okay, I hear you. And it hasn't been
in the postseason.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
No, no, no, But also his postseason I agree. I agree.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
He's been in the postseason twice and it hasn't been
great except we won the World Series last year.

Speaker 6 (16:20):
So you know what I'm saying, Like, that's really what
it comes down to.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
I don't think anybody was crushing him for relative lack
of postseason success.

Speaker 6 (16:28):
They have.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
I mean, there's he's a controversial player to some people.
You know what I'm saying, like the money that he's
making or lack thereof because of how he signed his
contract upsets people that he's making two million dollars to play, right, Okay, there's.

Speaker 6 (16:43):
The whole thing with the gambling. Like to some people, he's.

Speaker 5 (16:46):
A controversial player, so some people were dragging him and
he he did not have a great postseason last year
and he wasn't having one this year. But yesterday what
we all saw on witness, it's one of those things
where you're you're never gonna forget that, You're never gonna
years now, ten years years from now, we can all
be like, remember that day when Otani pitched a shutout,

(17:06):
struck out ten, and then hit three home runs and
the second one was the eighth home run ever to
leave the pavilions at Dodger Stadium and in the history
of the stadium, which is the third oldes stadium in baseball.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
And those are all like just the dropping the drop
into the game without the context. This is an elimination,
an elimination. This should go to the World Series, right.
This is just if you woke up from the come
and said, hey, that baseball player. Sure it's little somebody
ain't seen before.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
But if you love the table.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
When you read the paper to three months friers like, Yo,
this is the biggest game of.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
The year for exactly you know, the Brewers were going
out there with the intention to win, with the intention
to not strike out ten times.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
That's crazy. I'm glad you brought that up.

Speaker 5 (17:45):
You're right, because they weren't gonna pump this game regardless
of what any know was in and the fact that
show hey Otani walked in. There's video you could see
on social media him pushing a stroller with his baby
in the stroller and the dog is in the bottom
compartment of the stroller, his wife, they all walk in together,
so the entire family got to witness that, so it
was important for him.

Speaker 6 (18:03):
Decoy was there. Okay, that's the doll, that is the dog.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Just for everybody who is his name is Yeah, I
thought that was.

Speaker 7 (18:12):
I liked what you were saying, Martin about the voice
lines thing. He runs out of calls at home run.
It's like you're playing MLB the show or something and
it's like, Okay, you've hit your third, so they've acted
the game has like physically run out of voice lines.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
You know, like like he's like, how many more? Like
in that call, he says he's done it again. Yep,
he's done it again. Again.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
He's gonna do it again. But you're you're not wrong.
This was the biggest stage he's done on.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
But he has done it on other big days, Like
every single time it was an know Tawny bopplehead or
they were giving you know something O Tawni, he would
hit a home run. He always yes, he loved he
loves the moment. He just had it, had his moment
in the postseason until last night, and what a mega moment.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
So I was.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Reading I think it was the La Times post about this.
It made an interesting point that, or at least I
believe it maybe be somebody close to show me. Maybe
Roberts actually said it. His pitching helped him focus less

(19:19):
on his struggles at the plate, and all of a
sudden he's pitching well and then boom boom boom boom boom.
Right now, last postseason he wasn't pitching right, had struggles
at the plate. But I mean, still again, I get
that people. He's definitely has people on both sides. What
I say, I don't think people are crushing them for
like postseason, but I don't think anybody's on both sides

(19:41):
by Aaron Judge until it's like this guy sucks in
the playoffs, you know what I mean, Like either you
like the Yankees or you disliked the Yankees, but like
you know, but like, yeah, no, everybody knows that Aaron
Judge or everybody knows that Lamar Jackson in the playoffs,
Like like that's why fiance knows. Now I'm saying, she
knows like curs every things about for But it's right,

(20:02):
thank you very much. My wife knows cursory things about
like the football, like watching with me. Yeah, the one
thing that she knows a definitive fact every time Lamar
Jackson's on TVC. He's not about to win this game.
He said, why because it's a big game. It's a
big who they play, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
It's a big game. How do I know it's a
big game because it's at night. You know what I'm saying.
It's Monday night, our Thursday night or Sunday night. You
know what I'm saying. This is a big game.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
He's not going to win this game, right, This is
not what happens right. So but anyway to see Shani
like that is to go to five year old, six
year old, seven.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Year old me. That's what I signed up for. Old.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Now, I want to be a sports gay. I want
to see things I've ever seen before. I want to
see human beings look like they're actual superheroes.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
And that is what we saw yesterday.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
And this is one of those you got if you're
the Brewers on the other side of that, she's got
to be looking like that's where they made the phrase
I tip my.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Cap mm hmm.

Speaker 6 (20:52):
Absolutely absolutely.

Speaker 5 (20:53):
I'm glad you said it like that because I think
even if you are a Dodger hater, you can appreciate
what Otani did yesterday because you're I don't know if
you're gonna.

Speaker 6 (21:01):
See that again.

Speaker 5 (21:02):
I mean he might do that. He might do that,
But other than that, who's gonna do that again? Maybe
we see someone in ten years, right, because there's somebody,
you know, there's kids right now saying I'm gonna do that.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Now, Monci, I.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Pay way too much attention I mean way more attention
than any normal human should to what to midweek pre
and post conference, past conferences, like if your coach said it,
I heard him say it, Like that's pretty much where
it comes down from me. And a few weeks ago

(25:21):
Mike Tomlin, as they were preparing for a game as
in aside, said, you know, actually I told my guys
that to keep Anthony Richardson upright because I didn't want
to see the backup. And I thought, you know what,
I'm saying, my my, my, my, the scooby doode thingooby

(25:41):
what because it's like who says that?

Speaker 6 (25:44):
Yeah, Like, and I get it.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
I'm sure things are said like that in in locker.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Rooms, but you got and Mike Mike t is, no,
he's walked around the block a few times.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
He knows that this is being recorded. Okay, So he
said that.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
So I was like, wow, okay, maybe this is like
when granddad gets too old or uncle gets too old
and they stop.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Caring, all right. And then on Tuesday when Mike says.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Maybe Andrew Berry knows more than me, I said, oh lord, because.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
He was legit.

Speaker 6 (26:17):
He said, he said he's upset.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
He said the man's name. He said the man's name,
and then said the reporter's asked was it hard to
come in and make a start like that? Not for
Joe Flacco? And that's all I could think about Thursday night,
because I was watching Old Carpool.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
Joe, you and everybody else were like, oh, that's why
he didn't want this happening, because he.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Knew Joe Flacco took that MANI man out of reverse
and drove right up and down the field and said, Jamar,
where are you?

Speaker 6 (26:48):
Where are you?

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Jamar?

Speaker 6 (26:49):
I'm looking for you.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
I watched games like that. I think football is not
that hard.

Speaker 6 (26:53):
You're like Jake Browning, why didn't you do that? Why
did you just throw the ball to Jamar? Chase every
single time.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
Sixteen targets for Jamar Chase and that Icy Bowl, the
Icy Hot Bowl was great, was great.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
On both ends of it.

Speaker 7 (27:07):
Well, I had a little bit of everything, had advertising
for for Icy Hosk.

Speaker 6 (27:11):
Seriously, no SHOT's gonna make a commercial ode this.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
Yeah, use both of them commercial with Flo and Rogers.

Speaker 6 (27:18):
I'm saying, and Shock's already all over it.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
I like Flacco in the post games, and you actually
never used icy hot before.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
All right, tough guy, we get it. You'm already over
the podium.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
You just got the win, all right, But to that point,
and Jamar Chase, I laugh, We laughed, We laughed, We
like hand up laughed when Jamar Chase was like, thanks
for the organization to try to make this work.

Speaker 6 (27:39):
Okay, speak You and I sat here and you were.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Like, why what is the point the starting quarterback for
the worst team division, it's traded to the second team
the division.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Everybody's like, this is gonna work.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
And it was interesting because he didn't hit zero socks.
So that O line, what was it?

Speaker 6 (27:55):
Was it? Joe Flacco? Was it the old NBA?

Speaker 5 (27:57):
We've got to protect this man because we can't go
back to j Browning.

Speaker 6 (28:00):
We have what was it, zero sacks on Joe Flackoll
that night.

Speaker 7 (28:04):
So somebody I had a Flacco was very mobile, as
we saw with the naked bootleg that he had that
run play looking spry for forty year.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
But that's it, that's it. Typically he just was in
the pocket. Both of them. Both of them is a statue.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
So this is something that I think that US as
a media understate because I had a source who at
the time was working for the Indianapolis Culture when they
signed Philip Rivers.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Okay, I said, why in the hell are you going
after Philip? Philip Rivers is eighty five years old. I
don't like, what are you doing Philip Rivers? He was
done six years ago? Right?

Speaker 2 (28:43):
And then they kept home peeling off wins, peeling off wins,
and I'm like, I'm watching him not play well and
they still are winning. I helped me under so I think, YO,
help me understand this.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
I don't get it because he knows I know ball, right,
I know he knows ball. He gets paid to do it, right.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
He's like, you don't see how many times Philip Rivers
gets us out of the wrong play call. You don't
see how many times our second and ten wasn't second
and seventeen. And I think that is what you asked,
what Jake Brownie, why can't you just throw the ball

(29:25):
to Chase?

Speaker 3 (29:26):
And I agree with you. I agree with that.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
I think it has that like the ability to know
everything about what the defense is about to do, which
to me, speaks about the most damning part of the night,
Like the most egregious part of the night is when
Joe Flacco on a pulled the ball on that Reid
option because he knew exactly like Jamar Chase said a

(29:52):
postgame and Flacco didn't, but he knew exactly what Pittsburgh
was going to do. And that's been the story of
Pittsburgh every single year. We're just gonna play solid defense
and be bet the book is out.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
The Booki's out. That's how Joe Flacco had his longest
rush since his second year in his career, Joe Flacco's
second year of career. I was in college, I was
an undergrad.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
You know that play the whole the whole time you're
talking about we're talking about giving quarterback credit here to
how they were playing because literally both of them just
stayed in the pocket.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
It was a shootout, Aaron Rodgers threw two picks. He
didn't care. He went back and threw the ball again.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
Another really smart play was t Higgins there when he
slid instead of going for the touchdown. Again the Bengals.

Speaker 11 (30:40):
The Bengals realized, like, we we're in a perfect position
because the NFC North, the AFC North, excuse me, a.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
Bunch of question marks, A bunch of question marks. I
mean the NFC North too, but the AFC North a
bunch of question marks. And right now, even like if
you looked at the Ravens schedule, even the Ravens have
a chance to pull off and still make maybe the
seventh seed in the playoffs and be the first seven
seed to actually win a game.

Speaker 11 (31:03):
Like they're sot, it's it's still wide open. It's still
wide open.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
That's the thing that because the question that Ian asked me,
do you think the Bengals are alive?

Speaker 6 (31:13):
They I think that entire division is alive.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
My overall take from Thursday night was are the Ravens are.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Alive?

Speaker 6 (31:24):
Well, well, well no, but I think they can.

Speaker 5 (31:27):
They can play spoiler to someone in their division, and
that's how they're just gonna stick around.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
The Ravens have a lot of divisional games at the
end of the this this later half of their season.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
Because they're on a bye.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
So I think the Browns can still play spoiler because
they like to do that.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Cleveland still to play. I mean Cleveland and Pittsburgh both
have to. They still have four games against Baltimore.

Speaker 6 (31:49):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
So that's all like.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
And divisional games are all interesting every single time. Tomlin
loves playing against Lamar and the Ravens because.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
I think I do think that we looked at these
as well. I think we're gonna have like really one
of the best. I think we're looking on like a
ten and seven division.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
We're here, yep.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
And that's with Pittsburgh having four wins right now, like
I don't maybe.

Speaker 7 (32:11):
Also Cleveland's game they're about to play against Miami, which
is very winnable on its own.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
About to be like yeah, it's about like.

Speaker 7 (32:20):
Yeah, to that point, Dylan Gabriel and Tua those are
not two arms that are gonna be cutting it through
the wind.

Speaker 12 (32:26):
Like.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
There's gonna be a lot of running in that game. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
So if you have if you have one of those
running back running backs. Play them. I'm play them right now.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
I'm so excited for that game. Anytime, be the only
person to be I was excited for that game.

Speaker 6 (32:41):
It's gonna what are you excited about?

Speaker 3 (32:43):
It's gonna give me a mess. Like Actually, Mary McK
and I was just talking about this today.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Sometimes the movie is so bad that it's sure like
sometimes the movie is so bad that you can't take
your eyes off of it. And when I tell you
this weekend tomorrow, I'm going to watch sixty seven snaps.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Of Dylan Gabriel Vers Tua and a tornado.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Because if you could get two quarterbacks utter five ten
and left handed and a tornado, well, you.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Gotta watch it. You gotta watch it every Remember when
the Broncos had to start Kendall hitting that quarterback? Probably
not I do, because.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
They were the biggest they were the biggest underdogs in
like the history of football.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
I watched every snap they lost by thirty seven. It
was it was electric.

Speaker 6 (33:26):
Yeah, no, this is gonna be like six to zero,
That's what I'm saying. It's gonna be sixty three.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
I just want to I cannot wait for a tool
pass to be like online for five yards and a
gufft of wind, blow it into the stands hard left.
It's like whoever's on the calls and be like tuck
back to pass he drops to the flat.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Oh, look out in the stands. That thing flew off
like a foul ball.

Speaker 6 (33:54):
There's there's a really good chance that could happen in
that game. Find you sold me. I'm gonna watch that game.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
I'm poor Old Joe Davis will be busy. I'm sure
who else will be on the call.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
I can't even think Brady Quinn's gonna be over there.
Like thoughts and prayers to the fen in fifteen A.
That football hitter right in the eye coming up next
play another addition to sports court and I'll tell you
what they're guilty. Way to keep Martin Wisse, Monsey blonios
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Martin Wise, Monster Blanos, coming to you live from the
Fox Sports Radio Studios, Arkansas. Taylor Green left this game
due to injury. The quarterback for Arkansas. He just had
a big run. They're not going to win this game,
more than likely, but they have competed with six and
oh Texas A and M. Looking at Alabama, and Tennessee
tied seven apiece, a top fifteen matchup in the SEC

(34:53):
right there, and then this is the biggest game for
USC in the last seven days, right because it really
was as I know that last week, it was very
much a Michigan story from my perspective, and you know what,
handed up my bad.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
I was just watching a team get pushed around that
I didn't like it.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
But the USC really did go and push around a perennial,
historical type of big ten power.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
That was an establishing win to me for USC. And
that can all go away.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Right here if they lose to Notre Dame, who already
has their second loss of the year. But so far,
so good for USC. It's a fourteen point game. They
have been getting gashed on the ground a bit, but
acquitting themselves well thus far. We'll talk about more of
those games at the top of the hour, dive into
everything NFL at college football.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
But first it's time for sports court.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
That's right, it is time for sports court.

Speaker 7 (35:49):
So I've got a list of people from the world
of sports that we're gonna put on trial here in
the court. I'll present their case and then it's up
to you guys. The jury to tell me whether they
are guilty or not guilty. You guys, ready, yes, yep,
all right. Let's start with Carson Beck, who stands accused here.
Going into his Friday night game against Louisville, the Miami
quarterback was one of the front runners for the Heisman Trophy.
He wound up throwing four picks, with a fifth one

(36:10):
actually being called back on a roughing the passer penalty.
So pretty rough night for Carson Beck. Miami's defense got
a late turnover to try and put them in position
to either win or tie the game, but that was
when Beck's fourth interception came and ultimately lost them the game.
In his postgame interview, though, he had this to say, we.

Speaker 13 (36:26):
Had a miscommunication with the route and what we were doing,
so ran the route wrong and I went to go
throw it because we're hot off of the pressure, and
again he made a good play on it, so but
it definitely didn't help that we ran the wrong play.

Speaker 7 (36:41):
So he ended up blaming his receiver for running the
wrong route on his fourth interception there, which ultimately lost
them the game. So Carson Beck, guilty or not guilty
for throwing your guy under the bus Like that.

Speaker 5 (36:51):
Oh, absolutely very guilty, because let me tell you there
was no pass interference on that interception that was called back.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
He should add five.

Speaker 5 (37:00):
No that he probably should not have been the way
to answer that. No name dropping, no, just no guilty
you go, Martin.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
No, yeah, under the jail, under under the jail.

Speaker 6 (37:11):
Guilty shit to Jill, because here's the thing, it'd.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Be one thing if that was your first interception or
even your second interception.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
He's stumped all.

Speaker 6 (37:22):
Night at this point, all night.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
How do you know, journalist in the press conference that
the receiver was wrong on the hot route?

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Clearly Carson Beck was wrong all damn night. How do
you know? I don't like it, narrative, I don't like it.
I don't like it one bit.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
Guilty, all right.

Speaker 7 (37:39):
Next up, Nebraska quarterback Dylan Rayola stands a key, and
you guys alluded to him earlier in the show. So
for the listeners who might not know, this is the
Patrick Mahomes look alike who has got the same hair
as Mahomes, where's the same accessories, does the same celebrations, pregames, routines,
et cetera. But he's always said that he doesn't understand
why people think he's trying to copy Mahomes.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
He doesn't get it.

Speaker 7 (37:58):
So last night we got another on field example of
him doing a Mahomes impression, this time swapping the ball
to his left hand on a scramble and flipping it
to his receiver for a first down.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
It was pretty sweet.

Speaker 7 (38:07):
I gotta say so with this latest cause play Dylan
Rayola guilty or not guilty of trying to be Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 6 (38:14):
Is he telling us we're stupid?

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (38:16):
What I didn't know? He says, why I don't know?
He questioned why we think he tries and looks exactly.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
Like Patrick Mahon's got to be in bed.

Speaker 6 (38:25):
There's no under the jail twice for.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
It's one thing to lie to me, it's another thing
to lie to me in a way that insults my ad.

Speaker 6 (38:35):
Doesn't say because it is stupid.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Guilty as James.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
And you know why you're guilty because your daddy played
in the NFL. Your godfather is Matthew Stafford. Right, you
got all types of role models to look up to
who also played in the pocket. Okay, and get your
fundamentals together. Mahomes actually struggles with this in the NFL today.
You may be better if you just drop back five
to seven.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
It threw it out as opposed to switching the ball
trying to go by you back to the legs.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
Yeah, didn't didn't they lose?

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (39:06):
Right, be to it.

Speaker 13 (39:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (39:07):
Next up here, Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson's stand Acus.

Speaker 14 (39:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (39:12):
So, as you guys know, Pablo Torre has been on
an absolute tear this year, exposing people left and right,
and in his latest episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out
his podcast. On Friday, he released audio Bill Belichick and
his girlfriend Jordan Hudson on a hot mic at Belichick's
show Coach from last year. This is audio from a
year ago I Think, and Hudson can be heard giving
her thoughts on the graphics and that she thought should

(39:33):
be changed, and she offered suggestions for the graphics team
to maybe use quote Adobe Photoshop and click click click
delete delete fleet. Later in the video, she and Belichick
can be heard off camera complaining quietly about the graphics team,
saying they can't figure out basic stuff. How she could
easily do it herself with no experience. So Bill Belichick
and Jordan Hudson a little Bonnie and Clyde situation here,
guilty or not guilty.

Speaker 6 (39:52):
Pablo Tory is guilty.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
I don't want alternate.

Speaker 5 (39:55):
What are we doing that is such low hanging fruit.
You want to expose what the that we already know
is between those two? No, he's guilty.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
No, I stand with Pablo on this one.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
No one, because here's the thing. She walked in there
like an expert and had no idea what she was
talking about.

Speaker 6 (40:12):
Again surprised, I'm not said, but I'm.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
Just saying, if you're gonna do that. She was in
there telegraphics producers how to make their graphics.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
And maybe this hits close to home because I sit
there and tell people graphics producers how to do their
job all the time.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
But it's also because I used to be a graphics producer.
I actually know the business. She said, keep him out
of the end zone? Is that specific to like the
red zone? No, you don't know what you're doing. Nobody
knows what they're doing for it.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
That's right, Martin Wise MONSI Belanos coming to you live
from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. College football in Full Swings, Texas.
AAEM looks like they just took care of Arkansas first
seven and l start since nineteen ninety four for the
Aggies and Mike Elko, congratulations to them. I was sitting

(41:01):
here that Saturday night when Texas A and M was
on the hunt for a new head coach and Mike
Elko got hired, and everybody was like Mike Elco yuck, well,
well shovey no now not too chevy.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
Yeah, so Manci.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Sometimes I feel like I may be in a bizarro
world when it comes to some of the NFL commentary
that's going on around people. Right, I get it's week seven,
are week eight? Everybody about seven eight games in? Some
teams five hundred don't look right. Some team like Ravens
one game in, that'll.

Speaker 6 (41:43):
Look right, that'll look right.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
You know, Colts top of the AFC one seeding it
that don't look right. Like some things just don't look right.
Some things don't feel right. But a lot of and
we're so we're too hurt.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
Having a good defense. That's a good example of that.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Do the Dolphins have a good defense? Falcon?

Speaker 4 (41:58):
Falcon?

Speaker 13 (41:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (41:59):
I was about to say, I know you didn't rub
you talk about miamis so one of the things that
was one of the narratives of the offseason. You know,
Ben Johnson's going to Chicago, Aaron Glenn, He's going to

(42:20):
New York, New York, Detroit.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
I guess it's over. They should just pack it up.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
You can't win anything without too, You're losing both their coordinators.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
What are they supposed to do? And then Week one
comes along, Michael Parson has traded to the Packers.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
And yeah, yep, yep, thrown away, it's over throw them
in the trash. It's done, it's done, yep. And so
you know, then they continue to win games. And before
the Chiefs game, there were a couple of people say
his best eam in football. And then they lose to
the Chiefs. Brian Branch gets in a fight, and we're
right back to, oh, I can't.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
Win without your coordinators. That what we gonna do? Oh now,
oh god, they're four and three. So it's true.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
I suppose that the Lions have lost more games this
year than they did last year, because last year than
they lost two.

Speaker 6 (43:04):
Do you think they're foreign to right now? They're not
four and three, No, they're for too.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
So they've lost the same amount of game as last year. Yeah,
I think they're gonna lose tomorrow. I figure already gave
them that loss. But either way, win or lose tomorrow.
Do you think that they have taken a step back
from like a true NFC contender.

Speaker 6 (43:23):
Mm hmmm, I'm gonna say no.

Speaker 5 (43:27):
And it's because there is no true NFC contender that
stands out to me. There's nobody that stands out to
me in this entire league. If we're being clearly honest
right now, as we go into week seven.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Well, the real contender please stand up.

Speaker 6 (43:41):
That there No one's going to stand up Martin. That's
the thing. That is the thing.

Speaker 5 (43:44):
Now, I'm not saying that, you know, maybe in four
weeks something is going to happen where we feel like
there is a team that stands out among the rest,
but in reality, there really isn't one. And when it
comes to the NFC North, I think the Lions like
are they're missing their coordinators for sure, but they're not
that far away from me.

Speaker 6 (44:03):
I mean, they weren't gonna go that far away from the.

Speaker 5 (44:05):
Scheme that they were doing the last couple of years,
you know what I mean. Dean Campbell wasn't gonna let
that happen.

Speaker 6 (44:09):
But yeah, you're missing your coordinators.

Speaker 5 (44:11):
And even though those fun plays that they still are
doing despite a new coordinator on the offense, there seems
to be some like one step behind maybe what we
saw last year, but just to step I think they
can get there. And again it has to do because
there is no standout. And then in the NFC North,
I really thought the Packers were gonna just like run

(44:33):
away with it once. I really did, I really did.

Speaker 6 (44:36):
And they don't even.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
Look that good.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
I The thing with the Packers for me was, wow,
that was a real big win now move to trade
for Michael Parsons. Yeah, And I suppose that they felt
this way when they gave them the contract, But it's like,
you don't make that move unless you are on solid
locked in with your quarterback.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
And I'm not. I know Green Bay is.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
They made them one of the highest paid quarterbacks of football.
But I just think it's a little bit of roller coaster.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
Ye, And honestly, yeah, a little A good way to
put it, a little.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Arch manning like you, how long were you on the
roster where you they're telling me you were good enough
to start and they just for some reason weren't starting you. Yeah,
like you know, this is in middle school and everybody
doesn't get to play.

Speaker 6 (45:19):
I agree with you, I don't think I'm as sold on.

Speaker 5 (45:22):
Maybe Jordan Love, maybe that's my problem too, because I
feel like I just thought you were going to look
a little.

Speaker 6 (45:28):
Bit more dominant in some way.

Speaker 5 (45:30):
And I did think that the division was theirs to
lose because they're the only ones that didn't have any
major change and you were good last year.

Speaker 6 (45:39):
So I was like, there's no.

Speaker 5 (45:41):
Way you don't win the division and you don't win
it easily, and here I am wondering if they can
win the division.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Yeah. So for me, I had picked the lines winning
the division. You look out there my.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Little Fox Sports Radio prediction sheet, which still looking pretty good.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
I had lines winning the NFC.

Speaker 6 (45:56):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
So I'm still I believe in this raw.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Yeah, And this really was a bet on Dan Campbell
less on because I think that they have you have
one of the most important things the head coach can
do is hire and fire assistant. Like if you don't
know that you got an issue, then like you've got
to be the person who knows that there's an issue,
like with Nick Sirianni and Kevin Patulo, what that's going

(46:21):
on right now, Sirianni.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
That's that's gotta be keeping them up at night. Do
I fire the guy, do I take do I change
the role like or do I give the guy time
to grow in this role? You know what I'm saying.
Do I give the guy time to figure this out?

Speaker 14 (46:33):
Right?

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Because we are winning games, you know what I mean? So,
but how do I allow that to maneuver? Dan Campbell
has done that a little bit. He's taken the play
calling duties away from his offensive coordinator in the past
and fired an offensive coordinator, promoted Ben Johnson from within,
promoted Aaron Glenn from within, and these two guys while
John Morton offensive coordinator, I believe you hide from outside,

(46:55):
well still somebody who's very familiar with and then promoted
Kelvin Shepard the defensive coordinator from with in. He reached
back into the culture that he had built right and
and and use that to fill out his coordinator positions.
And I think that if you're doing something like that,
you're going to be in good shape. But that's a
big thing about the culture. Forty nine ers. We've seen

(47:16):
them been able to do that and even quote unquote
with a wrong defensive coordinator and Steve Wilkes, right, Steve Boys.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
Soon they lost that Super Bowl, Steve Wilkes was like,
it's it's his fault. Had never worked all year. It's like,
well they they were the super Bowl, right right?

Speaker 2 (47:32):
And then you see Siriani and how that went with
the Eagles and that Brian Johnson and VIC fan Brian
Johnson year before Fangio was the coordinator. They're out in
the first round in one of the least inspiring playoff
games you'll see, right, I was betting that Dan Campbell
had built that culture stronger.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
I think they still lose this weekend. I think I
think the Buccaneers get them.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
You got Mike Evans, you got a BOOKA coming back
maybe potentially, but we know that Brian branch ain't coming back.
He's not playing either, is Kirby Joseph.

Speaker 6 (48:03):
All like a bunch of their secondary players. Top three
I think are so like to me with the way
that Baker's been playing Bacon.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
When you said that, in my head, I heard be
a co o N. I was like, what's the relevance
to Bacon in this moment? But you're right, he has
been Baking's bacon.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
He has been baking. Yeah, so I expect. I think
it'll be a close game.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
I can't battle the Lions here, but I am far
from thinking the Lions season is over. In fact, if
Brian Branch are playing, I would may be picking the win.

Speaker 5 (48:34):
In fact, I actually think I I think the Lions
will win the division now and a couple of weeks
ago I told you I was like, Packers have it,
there's no question. Now I'm like, no, the trivially hasn't.
And I just looked at the rest of the schedule
for Detroit. They really could win this division.

Speaker 6 (48:47):
At this point.

Speaker 5 (48:48):
There are only two losses where to the Chiefs and
to the Packers. The Packers and that's it.

Speaker 6 (48:53):
And that was just after that game.

Speaker 5 (48:56):
The Packers have not looked like that Packers team at
all at all. But you look at the Lions, and
even when they lose, you're just kind of like, Okay, no,
but I see it there.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
I believe.

Speaker 6 (49:05):
I believe in the Lion's product way more than I
believe in the Parkers product.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
The one thing that does.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
What it gives me an ick gives you an about
the Lions, or is my ick about the Lions I
don't love that a we get all the way down
to the goal line run a trick play, I'm good
with that.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
I don't love that somehow we are still having issues
with the referees and these trick plays. I don't love that.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
If you are going to do all this trick play
tom foolery, then before the game starts, before the play happens,
we gotta have a conversation with the zebras. We gotta
get this figured out. How many how many times are
you gonna let this happen?

Speaker 3 (49:53):
Right?

Speaker 2 (49:53):
And I get it, the referee should know. However, you're
doing something that people don't do all the time. You're
pulling something out from nineteen seventy six. Maybe just give
a refresher to the guys who was supposed to be
officiating and say, hey, this is actually legal, this is
what we're supposed to do.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
We're gonna pull this out at some point.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Please don't throw this flag, because it's gonna look like
you should throw this flag of telling you it's not
a flag.

Speaker 5 (50:16):
That's actually not a terrible idea, especially for the Lions
who liked to do all of these trick plays. Because
I don't know the rule but nobody knew the rule
in that moment, right because he did not stop that
whole argument of it. When they were like, he has
to establish himself and stop completely before going towards you know,
the ball or catching the ball.

Speaker 6 (50:34):
He did not. It was one fluid motion.

Speaker 5 (50:37):
But had they known, You're right, had they known that
that was the play that they were gonna run, maybe
they would not have thrown the flag.

Speaker 6 (50:44):
They didn't know what they were doing.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
They had to know that that was the play they
were gonna run. You know what I'm saying, Because you
can't just pull that one out of the backpick. You
gotta practice that.

Speaker 6 (50:51):
You're got to talking about the zebras exactly. Yeah, so the.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Lions knew was coming.

Speaker 6 (50:55):
The Lions was coming.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
You want you go ahead and tell the referees. You
know what I'm saying, Hey, I'm gonna do this. Golf
is gonna look like it's gonna I'm gonna I'm running
this play. That's gonna look weird. All right, it's gonna
look odd.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Be ready for it.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Be ready for it, because what I don't want to
hear is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, all this crying and
bitching and moan into the league office because you didn't
get a touchdown on this play, which was sometime in
the first half. All right, it's not like the clock
hit triple zeros. You had an opportunity to win. Still,
even with that being said, and that's why I really

(51:29):
and it's not that the ref. Did the ref blow
the call?

Speaker 3 (51:32):
Did he not? I'm sitting there. I didn't know the rule.
You didn't know the rule.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
You know why, cause I'm not a damn ref or
a football coach, right, those are the people that's supposed
to all supposed to sit there on TV and be like, damn,
that was awesome. And that's what I said, And that's
what I said until I saw the referee was talking
about it. I said, wow, he did it again.

Speaker 6 (51:51):
Yeah, But I'm telling you, when they explained it, I
understood what the reasoning was behind it.

Speaker 5 (51:56):
But you're right, it seemed like did you do that
with after the fact and in reality, had you known
ahead of time that this play was coming at some
point in the game, maybe you would have handled it differently.

Speaker 6 (52:05):
And everyone, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
I'm like, even in something as simple as like if
you're if you're playing baseball, right, and they do it
way less now than ever before. But you know, the
pitcher would throw over and sometimes the first basement would
fake like he threw back to tell to make sure
that the runner who was taking his lead he may
not be paying attention.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
Everybody fakes and then you tag him like ah not top.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Ten right, Well, like that's obviously pretty straightforward, but if,
in fact, you know that's a tricky type of play,
you may want to show the umpire like hey, I
got the like behind your back, like hey, I got
the ball.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
You know what I'm saying, Like I still have the
ball as I tag him.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Or how many times have you seen something where it's
been like like no, oh, look at this.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
You know what I'm saying, Like no, no, no, he's out.
You know what I'm saying, Just like in the.

Speaker 5 (52:54):
NBA when you're like I'm gonna foul him, I am
going to foul him, and eh, I'm fouling him.

Speaker 6 (52:59):
That's what you're saying. Help yourself out a little bit.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
You can't call the foul until I do it.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Till I do it, but I'm telling you, I'm stating
what my plan is, and my plan is to hit
that guy in his arm as hard as I can the.

Speaker 6 (53:10):
Minute he gets the ball. Help yourself out a little bit.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
It's just it's just it's mind blowing and it's mind boggling,
and I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
And it's one of the things I do not.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
You can't be mister bite the kneecaps and then also
be mister cry about the rest.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
You just can't do it, in my opinion.

Speaker 4 (53:31):
In my opinion, there's a lot of them who do.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
I don't like it, Monci. I don't like it. And
you know what we found out.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
We found out on Monday night that a certain national
broadcaster not a big fan of a quarterback in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
Not a big fan of a quarterback in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
Apparently let timing has timing not just in a football game,
but when you're supposed to meet really matters.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
You know, this is the one thing everybody has the
same amount of time, you know what I mean. So apparently.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
An issue for mister Caleb Williams. Maybe we need to
get the boy a watch. Did Ben Johnson do just that, Monty?

Speaker 3 (54:15):
And I'll get to that.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
And just to put it, Barton White's Moncey Laos Fox
Sports Radio. We walked in here today and Moncey said,
oh my god, there are so many cameras. And the
reason why is to subscribe to the Fox Sports Radio
YouTube channel.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
Just search Fox Starts Radio on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
You see our best videos from all our shows, and
don't stu up there, hit that thumbs up icon and
comment away. Let us know whose takes you like and
even whose takes you don't like. Ian's just search Fox
Sports Radio on YouTube and be sure to subscribe. And
if you do, I'm telling you Moncey's T shirt every week.
I didn't realize that I started working with us and
now I have like a roller dex on what they are.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
It's themeed that she puts some thought into it. I
appreciate it. I think.

Speaker 6 (55:02):
It's true. I do think about my T shirts.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
Today. It's it's penny Wise.

Speaker 6 (55:08):
It is it's baby Bop Wise.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
I'm trying to get people to go see it on you.

Speaker 6 (55:12):
They still can't see it. They go see it.

Speaker 4 (55:14):
You don't get to see it unless you don't.

Speaker 6 (55:16):
It's also baby baby penny Wise.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
What's the significance behind it?

Speaker 6 (55:21):
What do you mean it's spooky season?

Speaker 4 (55:23):
Oh of course, I thought maybe just because the there's
that new like show coming out.

Speaker 5 (55:27):
There is a new show which I am super excited about.
But tis the season to be spooky still, all the
spooky shirts come out.

Speaker 4 (55:33):
You know it's your favorite Halloween movie.

Speaker 5 (55:36):
That's a good question. I The Strangers is probably one
of my top with Live Tyler. That's one of my
the scariest movies.

Speaker 15 (55:43):
But like new ones right now, talk to me, talk
to me as kids. Yes, yes, yes, I don't know
either of those. When she said Halloween movie, I took
that more as lately Halloween.

Speaker 6 (55:55):
Which my boys movie do. Yeah, no, I I I
love scared. The scarier, the better scarier, the better.

Speaker 4 (56:02):
Shining, if we're going horror movie was great, Shining was great.

Speaker 6 (56:05):
It's great. But there's other ones that are spookier. I
like Hereditary.

Speaker 4 (56:09):
You like scary movies more in No, Yeah, I could
tell he hadn't.

Speaker 6 (56:13):
Yeah, I know, it's just quite as he's mental shows.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
I watched the news.

Speaker 6 (56:19):
Yeah, and I actually because yeah, you're you like that scary.
I like the other scary.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
I'll tell you let's when I worked at Channel seven
to Detroit No. Top seven seven. Let me tell you
real scary talking about horror fying, Yeah, I do. Ian asked,
what's the significance? Were you asking the significance of the
baby Pennywise.

Speaker 7 (56:37):
Right just off the shirt itself? As you said, she
you know, puts a lot of thought into it. So
I was like, is there is the like penny Wise juniors.

Speaker 6 (56:45):
Just baby penny Wise, you know, well with little baby,
like when you see baby Grinch.

Speaker 14 (56:51):
Is this like?

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Is this like when they're around the table at Entallidaga
Knights and they're like, I picture my Jesus as a
baby in a manger.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
This could be the you picture your as a shit.
I picture my Jesus in the tuxedo T shirt.

Speaker 12 (57:06):
Yo.

Speaker 5 (57:06):
I know this is not what I pictured my my
baby Jesus now, but it's just baby it baby anyways.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
Well, I don't know if you pictured anybody doing what
show Halo Tony did yesterday, but if you saw him
do it, you saw him doing it in one of
those postseason helmets with that red Ostrich logo. That's Strauss
touted by pros worldwide. Pants built like tools, durable, comfortable
an engineer to perform from glip to glory.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
Gear up at Strauss dot com s t R A
U s S dot com pants built like tools?

Speaker 2 (57:37):
Do they have as many tools as show hal Tani
because generally you say guys have five, but that's like
one of the tool.

Speaker 3 (57:45):
The tools is like throw for power and throw for accuracy.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
But like they're talking like from the outfield, they're not
talking about like from the mound ninety seven painting black.

Speaker 5 (57:55):
Yeah, it's pretty crazy to look at what Otani is
doing in front of our faces. You know, I have
the NBA JAM Sure, I have one with Otani and
Mooki Bets right him as a hitter and Mooki Betts
as a and everything he does as fielder. But there's
one where it's both Otani's Otani as a hitter and
Otani as a pitcher. And it's incredible that just when,

(58:17):
just when I think, Martin, there's no way I'm gonna
see Otani do something cooler than I saw him do,
better than I already saw him do.

Speaker 6 (58:24):
There's no way he can talk what I saw him
do a month ago. He does it every single time,
and I don't even know what else is left.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
I watching this postseason again because Otani at the plate prior,
you know, before twenty four hours ago.

Speaker 6 (58:42):
It was one sixty eight.

Speaker 3 (58:43):
Yeah it had been.

Speaker 5 (58:44):
Yeah, real bad, very very regular yeah bad, not even
regular bad.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
So I'm watching this and I'm thinking, it's like, dude,
like I know that he's not, but I just want
to say, Mooki Betts is the best player in baseball,
because like, how do you go from being a goal
glove outfielder to play short stop for your first year
ever and be a goal glove shortstop and be a finalist, yeah,

(59:11):
or be a finalist for the Gold Glove and what
either the leader are tied and defensive run saved for
the position, like, which is like the premiere. It's like
having a guy be a two thousand, five hundred drug
receiver and then him coming the next year and throwing
forty touchdowns in two interceptions.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
Like it's like crazy to me.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
And then I was like, oh, this is why nobody
talks about Mooki Vets is doing shut out tiny, he's
tracking out ten and hitting three home runs.

Speaker 5 (59:38):
When Muki Bets did to start the season, he was
not good at shortstop, but understandably so, like you said,
you've never played this position and you're a gold Glove
right fielder and here you are moving to the infield.

Speaker 6 (59:49):
Not good when he.

Speaker 5 (59:49):
Started, and then all of a sudden, I don't know
what clicked for Muki and the fact that he's a
finalist this year.

Speaker 6 (59:55):
But not just that, Martin.

Speaker 5 (59:56):
We also don't talk about what Freddy Freeman does because
of what Shoe hal Tani is doing. Freddy Freeman does
not get the credit he should get for We we
do not throw him.

Speaker 6 (01:00:04):
We we like I'm playing in the field. The Dodgers
do not throw him. The easiest balls to first.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
Base, Oh, the one out the Philly series.

Speaker 5 (01:00:13):
Yes, this poor man has to dig balls out of
the dirt left and right, and no one blinks an
eye about it.

Speaker 6 (01:00:22):
But if one gets past them, oh, everybody's talking, you
know what I mean. Like, but we don't talk about
that because of show Hail Tney.

Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
I feel like for the first baseman catching that is
kind of like the kicker. It's like I get it. Like,
I'm not saying it's easy, you just got to catch.

Speaker 6 (01:00:35):
You just got to catch it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
I'm not saying a forty seven yard field goal is
easy in the wind, but like you gotta make it.

Speaker 6 (01:00:41):
It's true, it's true.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
But when Freddy Freeman turns on a ball, Like there
were some times in the UH in the Milwaukee Series,
I'm looking, Oh, he's hitting the beach ball.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
The ball is shomong to him for him, and it's
like you can see he got the uppercut swing, and
it's like, oh, yeah, that is going a mile.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
That is a going that way.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
And to your point, like that, Freddy Freeman is the
anchor of most baseball lineups. Absolutely, Like Freddy Freeman is
the focal point of everything that goes on around most
baseball lineups. Mookie Betts is the focal point of everything
that goes on around baseball and most baseball line twenty
eight other teams.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
These two guys are the stars, top star on every
single ticket sold.

Speaker 5 (01:01:24):
MVP conversation, but they play next to the guy who's
probably gonna win the MVP again.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
And the final part of the Dodgers thing that I
want to talk about real quick the is Shishaki. Yeah, like, dude,
like this is part of why I said I would
get rid of middle of relievers. I changed the whole
thing because you get started to go like the Dodgers
weaknesses have not they haven't become any last week. The

(01:01:52):
difference is it is just like when I can get
what forty three or forty four outs in two games
from my starters?

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
Who cares?

Speaker 3 (01:02:02):
I'm having my bullpens. It doesn't matter, right, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
I'm not going to see Alex Vessierer Blake China because
I got Sasaki and then I got my starters.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
Who cares.

Speaker 6 (01:02:13):
That's the perfect recipe. But it took a minute to
get there.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
It took a minute to get there, and it seems
like it's taking a minute for one team in the
NFC North Or is it?

Speaker 12 (01:02:23):
Or is it?

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
Manti said, I think this team is ready to be
a disruptor. And you see how people be disruptive. Stuff
things get ugly around these parts.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
Steve Seger.

Speaker 10 (01:02:36):
Not a disruptor, not a Hello once again, lady and gentlemen.
And we were talking about the Dodger roster last night.
You know, the Red Sox had Mookie Bets, yeah, and
won a World series with him and traded him. And
the Braves had Freddie Freeman and a one world series
with him and picked a different first baseman.

Speaker 6 (01:02:55):
And he and Freddy wanted to stay there.

Speaker 10 (01:02:57):
He assumed he was going to be in Atlanta, Brave
It was until they traded four Olsen. Then a few
days later Freeman left and signed. But there are dotted
throughout the Dodger roster so many guys that other teams
could have had. Ye will Smith at catcher. The Dodgers
drafted him thirty second overall. Every team in the Major

(01:03:19):
League's passed on will Smith and then they drafted him
out of college. And the White Sox had a top
ten pick and took a catcher, not him. Angels had
a top twenty pick, took a catcher, not him. Max
Munsey was cut at the end of spring training with
the Oakland A's after two years and doing nothing, and
went unsigned for a month, and then the Dodgers picked
him up put in the minors in the next year.

Speaker 3 (01:03:40):
He's a starter for him.

Speaker 4 (01:03:41):
It's just on and on.

Speaker 10 (01:03:42):
It's not just money, it's the amount of times that
the front office makes the right decision compared to other teams.
The Padres have spent money. The Mets have spent a
boatload of money and missed the playoffs entirely. Texas was
a top ten payroll this year, missed the playoffs in time.
It's amazing how often this front office hits and how

(01:04:04):
even when they win and have one hundred wins seasons,
sometimes they're still back for more and they're still grinding.
And it's really whether they win the World Series or not. Honestly,
it's amazing how year after year they get after it
and then when they make money as an organization, they
put it back into the payroll and they put it
back into the stadium that they own.

Speaker 5 (01:04:23):
You know, another player, you could add Blake Snell. Anyone
could Ahid Blake Snell.

Speaker 10 (01:04:27):
Yeah, he agreed to defer money in his contract just
so he could have a week like he just had.
And the Sasak signing had nothing to do with money
because kind of like when Otani originally came over here,
coming over before the age of twenty five, he wasn't
eligible for a big contract. It's just who did he pick,
and he happened to pick the Dodgers. Yeap to college football,

(01:04:48):

DH George Springer can play after it was hit by

(01:06:55):
a pitch on the knee. World Series starts Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
Back to you thanks Steve Martin, Wise, Montsey Bolanos coming
to you live from the Fox Sports Radio studios and
Manchi had tagged this earlier, said I think this team,
I think this team is ready to blank stuff up?

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
Am I.

Speaker 6 (01:07:20):
No, not at all.

Speaker 5 (01:07:22):
It's interesting because I really starting the season, I was like,
I don't know what to expect of the Chicago Bears.
With a brand new coach, sure, and Caleb Williams has
been so inconsistent. I didn't know what to expect. You know,
you hear two type eight personalities are going to come
together and all of a sudden, you're gonna make this work.
How So, I had a lot of questions. They lose
their first two games and it doesn't look pretty. But

(01:07:44):
in the last three games that the Bears have won,
all of the numbers that matter have gone in the
right direction. Offensively, numbers are higher, and defensively they're holding.

Speaker 6 (01:07:54):
The teams to lower to lower points.

Speaker 5 (01:07:57):
In eleven takeaways mark in the last three game games.
They that's the most in the last three weeks. But
they have twelve, which is twelve takeaways Chicago so far
the season, that's second.

Speaker 6 (01:08:06):
In the NFL.

Speaker 5 (01:08:06):
Their defense is the one that is like stepping up,
and if they continue to do what they're doing, that
is going to be an NFC North that's going to
be interesting in three four.

Speaker 3 (01:08:17):
Weeks to look at I wonder I think so I
agree with you. First of all, I do think the
Bears look way better than they way better.

Speaker 6 (01:08:25):
Yes, well, here's the thing tonight and date from the
first two weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
Well, from this time last year, they were four and two.

Speaker 6 (01:08:32):
Yeah, right point.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
However, as we talked about to start the show, all
these records aren't the same all right, early in the year.

Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
It depends on who you played. Did I get this,
you know saying, did you get this team that quit?

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
Did another team trade their starting quarterback to the other
team so they could beat you, like Pittsburgh?

Speaker 5 (01:08:54):
All types of weird stuff, right, did you win or
did somebody else win? Remember Titans and Cardinals? Sure Titans
won that, but yes, like did you win it? Or
did the Cardinals let that one go?

Speaker 3 (01:09:03):
How many of those are we looking at?

Speaker 8 (01:09:05):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
Are Colts Broncos for examples, Like everybody looks at the
Colts so oh top of the AFC. They wouldn't be
if they hadn't have been a fifteen yard penalty on
a sixty yard field goal, you know what I'm saying.
So it's like all these things all right and out,
But it's undeniable. To me, how more together and cohesive
that the Bears look now than they did at this

(01:09:27):
point last year. And I'm thinking, like when you go
and I think that's the mark. Like we saw the
the Jeffrey Simmons yesterday or last week came out and said,
we had our worst week of practice. After Tennessee got
their first win of the year, they had a worst
week of practice.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Right, Yeah, there's an that's one of that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
Then Raiders people were talking about Tennessee was the worst
outfit we had seen ever. The players are not, like
I get it, devoid of talent, not so much right,
kind very much like college football. Now we're seeing and
I the thing starts to spread out. All these guys
are getting paid, right, all those pros are getting paid.
It's all about the organization. And I don't mean like

(01:10:08):
organization like team in frontational structure. I mean like literally
organization day to day. What are we doing on Monday?
What are we doing on Tuesday? What are we doing
on Wednesday? How are we preparing? How are we organizing
ourselves to go out and win this game on Sunday?
That to me is one of the most underrated things
in the league, and it shows you. To me, Like,
the biggest difference I've seen thus far in the Chicago

(01:10:30):
Bears has been that a.

Speaker 5 (01:10:32):
Plan, Yes, And I think that's the simplest way to
put it. A plan, And they just look like they're
kind of on the same page. And I really thought
that it was going to take longer than just two
weeks of losses, Like, I'm surprised that it's week seven
and they look kind of this complete look like a
complete team.

Speaker 6 (01:10:50):
They look strong on both.

Speaker 5 (01:10:51):
Sides of the ball, and you need that. You can't
just score all the points. Talk to the Bengals last year,
talk to the Ravens last year.

Speaker 6 (01:10:58):
You can't tak to the Cowboys here. You can't just
score points. And I feel like that's the biggest thing.
That their defense seems to be on the same page
and thriving, and I like it.

Speaker 5 (01:11:09):
It's just they seem to have a plan. I like
how I like the simplicity of that. Martin, you seem confused.

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
Yeah, I read something at the thrown last and I
said it like it was a fact.

Speaker 6 (01:11:19):
Okay, Love, that was it when you told me about Vanderbilt.

Speaker 3 (01:11:23):
Yeah, I had the wrong school.

Speaker 6 (01:11:24):
Yeah, I know, that's why I said nineteen ninety.

Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
I was like, no, something, there's some I'm gonna get
to it somewhere. Oh you know what there is. It's Indiana.
It was Indiana that hadn't done it since nineteen forty whatever.

Speaker 6 (01:11:37):
Yeah, so that's why that's why I said so confidently.
But you were also CAUs there. I will just let
this one go.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
We'll both we'll both figured out that.

Speaker 5 (01:11:47):
So we got it, we got here, we're back, we're
back to it. Vanderbilt hadn't been LSU since nineteen ninety.

Speaker 3 (01:11:53):
Because when that happened, I was gonna because this is
what happened. So I'll sol disclosure. We'll go ahead and
I'll tell the whole.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
Story because I try to think of how I'm going
to tease things before I get into this, like before
I walk in, right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:05):
And so I was like, you know, that's a that's
notable of course, right totally, because I was like.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
I was going to say something that has literally never
happened in Monci's lifetime, right right, yeah, and that it's
going to be Vanduilt beating LSU.

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
But I don't know where I got sometimes.

Speaker 6 (01:12:24):
And so it's funny because in.

Speaker 2 (01:12:26):
Indiana had done something today that they hadn't done since
nineteen forty when.

Speaker 5 (01:12:30):
So when you said since World War two, I thought
you were just like exaggerating, like you know that, but
I knew, Yeah, okay, we're good, we got we got
back on it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:39):
Hands up, my bad. Sorry guys, and the Lion said
the three wins set of two? We're doing? What all that?

Speaker 6 (01:12:51):
And is this teamwork?

Speaker 12 (01:12:52):
Is?

Speaker 6 (01:12:52):
How is you know? We're good?

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
I'm just going to say this right here, right now.
I'm not going to blame anybody else, not throwing anybody
else under the bus. The reads were hot, but Monty
ran the right route.

Speaker 3 (01:13:02):
I messed. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (01:13:03):
It was me.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
Hand up. I'll be better. Next segment. We'll get to
it in just a moment. Buy our starting up next.
Martin Wis's Manz.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
Fox Sports Radio put his ass in jail, Startling news
breaking from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
Startling news. Mons is like anti fashion and furious.

Speaker 6 (01:13:29):
I didn't say I was anti I just say I
just said facts, Martin, that those movies are really terrible,
but everybody watches them. Facts.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
I am not going so far to say those movies
are terrible.

Speaker 6 (01:13:44):
Those movies are useless. Are better with those people?

Speaker 4 (01:13:48):
There's a place for them in society.

Speaker 1 (01:13:50):
Sure, No, of course.

Speaker 5 (01:13:51):
And that's that's it's perfect of what we were saying
where it's like, it's so bad yet you watch it,
but that's not they're still making money.

Speaker 6 (01:13:57):
Who cares if I think they're dumb.

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
Let's see, here's like if you go into a movie
like the Fact and you're feerish and you're expecting the Godfather,
that's your.

Speaker 6 (01:14:04):
Fault, of course. But yeah, no, no, and the first
one was great. It's just we've beat it. We're done.
Oh no, we're done. You know, I know we're not
that like five five.

Speaker 5 (01:14:15):
Yeah, it's gonna keep because there's they're gonna be in
and wheelchairs doing this, you know, like it's gonna be
we know.

Speaker 13 (01:14:21):
What that you do?

Speaker 3 (01:14:22):
You know what they should do?

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
Hook the hook up that night, just socks to the
wheelchair and let's push this thing to sixty five.

Speaker 5 (01:14:29):
And you know Ben Diesel will be doing just that
because it's about it's about fan, about the family, family,
and I don't see the problem.

Speaker 6 (01:14:37):
And then the sound of music of Taylor Swift father
figure in the background as it ends, no buds, Come on,
we already have this.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
Come on.

Speaker 3 (01:14:46):
Yeah, that's how you know.

Speaker 4 (01:14:47):
Contracts are pretty consistently good for those movies too.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
That's because they're good. That's good cinema right there.

Speaker 7 (01:14:52):
It's also like the whole point of the movie is
to like release an album with it and see how much.

Speaker 6 (01:14:57):
No the soundtrack, the good soundtracks A about six.

Speaker 4 (01:15:00):
I can't argue with Mary on music stuff. She's the
expert there.

Speaker 3 (01:15:03):
I'm just saying this. If you don't like to fashion,
you're furious, or if you feel like a.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Visceral, I'm out on this. It says more about you
than it does about everybody else. I'm buying that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:15):
Let's play buy ourself.

Speaker 7 (01:15:18):
Nice transition there, So yeah, let's play a game of
buy ourself. Pretty self explanatory here. I'm gonna come to
you guys with a few NFL storylines. You're gonna tell
me whether you're buying or selling stock in said storylines.

Speaker 4 (01:15:28):
So let's start with this.

Speaker 7 (01:15:29):
Are you guys buying or selling your cam Ward stock
after the Titans fired Brian Callahan Martin?

Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
What do you think I have a lot too, I'm
gonna I'm holding I'm holding right now.

Speaker 3 (01:15:44):
But I will say this, it's getting dark early.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:15:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:15:51):
Can I hold on to it one more week and see?
I just I don't know what I'm looking forward for
word two. But now that they fired the coach, I
feel like, all right, let's see if you can come
up with something. Because you were the number one pick
for a reason.

Speaker 3 (01:16:10):
I will if Mike McCarthy gets that job, I'm buying
that much more. Socker.

Speaker 6 (01:16:15):
No, wow, look at that putting that out there.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
I think he's gotta shot it. I like that. That's
what I go to. I like that all right.

Speaker 7 (01:16:22):
Next up, are you buying or selling or holding the
Eagles as Super Bowl contenders right now? They're in a
little bit of a hiccup in their season. But I
guess I'm kind of asking, do you think it's a
hiccup or do you think this is who they are?
Buy or sell Eagles as super Bowl contenders?

Speaker 5 (01:16:36):
Manti will start with you, No, you know what, Nobody
is standing out, But I am not ready to sell.
I'll buy more stock into the Eagles right now.

Speaker 6 (01:16:45):
There's nobody that stands out. Yeah, I'm gonna buy a
lot because there's no one that stands out. So it's
like I might as well hold on to the.

Speaker 5 (01:16:50):
Contending champions right now. But it's like you said, it's
getting dark early. Yeah, it's getting dark early.

Speaker 6 (01:17:00):
You're selling your your arm movie thing. Yeah, I don't
blame you.

Speaker 3 (01:17:03):
The Eagles do things that don't make sense if you
like they should.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
Like when I look at the things that they feel
like they do on the football field, it feels like
they should be a bad team, not actually a good team.
And I feel like if they didn't have Saquon Barkley
have a historic year last year, they would have been Yeah,
and I'm not saying they would have been bad, but
that would have been slightly above average, not the juggernaut
that they were down the second half of the stretch
last year. I don't think Saquon is gonna just rejuvenate

(01:17:30):
himself the back half of the year.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
So I am selling the Eagles as a super Bowl game.

Speaker 5 (01:17:34):
It is interesting what the Eagles are doing with Saquon
this year, not one game over ninety yards so far.

Speaker 6 (01:17:39):
It is It is crazy. But yeah, I'm not ready.
I'm not ready to sell yet.

Speaker 7 (01:17:43):
Good thing he had enough production last year for two
seasons a long. Seriously, that just kind of makes up
for it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:48):
I guess I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:17:49):
Question more.

Speaker 4 (01:17:50):
Anyway.

Speaker 7 (01:17:50):
Next up, are you guys buying or selling Jets running
back Brese Hall being traded by the deadline. He's popped
up in a few rumors here and there. Teams like
the Chiefs could maybe use a running back. But what
do you guys think you think he gets adult by
the deadline? By yourself, I.

Speaker 6 (01:18:05):
Am selling this, I'm selling it. Yeah, the Jets are
a mess. I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:18:13):
Yes they are.

Speaker 6 (01:18:13):
I'm sorry They're a mess. There, I don't they have
no plan. We're talking about teams with a plan, just
they have no plan. Yeah, I'm selling.

Speaker 3 (01:18:24):
I'm buying it. That's what I think they should do.
I would trade. I'd trade.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
Everybody does not nailed down. If I was New York
and Aaron Glenn, I think that that locker room is rotten.
It just seems rotten to me. I'm sorry, it just
seems rotten to me. I would be give me some picks.

Speaker 6 (01:18:41):
But I don't even know if that's what you need.

Speaker 4 (01:18:44):
Something they need something, that's for sure. Anyway.

Speaker 7 (01:18:46):
Next up, you're buying or selling Spencer Rattler as the
Saints starting quarterback in twenty twenty six. He's actually had
a pretty surprisingly good year here. Not like the Saints are,
you know, one of the best teams in the league
or anything, but they're surprisingly pesky when they were supposed
to be one of the worst. So what do you
think buying or selling Rattler as the Saints starter in
twenty twenty six, Martin.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
I'll sell, but I'll buy that Rattler will start in
the NFL in twenty twenty six, because here's the thing.
They had the best freaking quarterback going to roster and
they drafted a twenty six.

Speaker 3 (01:19:15):
Year old in the second round for no reason at all.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
Spencer Ratler has was better than Tyler Shuck yesterday, last year,
the year before, and even all the way better than
when he got ben for Kayleb Williams at Oklahoma.

Speaker 3 (01:19:27):
He was still better than Tyler Shuck. And you're wasting
a second round pick. Thanks a lot, Mickey.

Speaker 5 (01:19:31):
Loomis h you know, I am a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm buying.

Speaker 6 (01:19:37):
I'm buying. I Actually, he has done really well. I
saw that.

Speaker 5 (01:19:41):
For like quarterbacks that have at least two hundred attempts,
he's one of only one or two that has one
interception or less.

Speaker 6 (01:19:47):
So he's protecting the ball, he's doing what he can.
I'm buying. I'm saying that they're not gonna let him go.

Speaker 3 (01:19:51):
Ok, I'll die. That kid can play. I saw him
at the senior bow. I've been on it for three year.
That kid can play. He's just in the worst situation.

Speaker 6 (01:19:57):
Worst situation.

Speaker 4 (01:19:59):
Yeah stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:20:00):
So uh, there's actually currently a three way tie at
the top of the NFC West Division right now, the Seahawks, Niners,
and Rams. So I'm gonna let each of you choose
one of those three teams to buy stock in. Who
do you think is ultimately gonna win the NFC West.

Speaker 5 (01:20:17):
You know, when I started this season and when we
started the season, I definitely bought all of the stock
on the forty nine ers, all of it, all of it,
and I'm still gonna buy it.

Speaker 6 (01:20:27):
I'd say three and one with the background, I'll still
take it for.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
I'm buying it on give me, Oh, you don't listening
to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 3 (01:20:39):
Mont Martin wise mont here.

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
As I'm looking at Moncia this Saturday, I was gonna
ask you if I said to you this in a
postgame press conference tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
I'm gonna enjoy this one.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
Get some good to eat, hug my kids, wake up
tomorrow and see what's next. Do you think i'd be
the winning coach of the LOUA?

Speaker 6 (01:21:01):
I would think he'd be the winning coach.

Speaker 3 (01:21:03):
Okay, I'm just checking because.

Speaker 2 (01:21:09):
That was Billy Napier, Who's Florida Gators beat Mississippi State
today by two points.

Speaker 3 (01:21:14):
I think it was twenty three to twenty one.

Speaker 2 (01:21:16):
Who was serenaded and cascaded with uh just relentless booing
as they ran off the field. This was the Florida
home game, so these were home Florida fans booing the
head coach of the team because they won, and he
was asked about his job security and that Napier on

(01:21:38):
if he felt tonight was his last game with the Gators. Tonight,
I'm gonna enjoy this one.

Speaker 3 (01:21:43):
Get something good to eat, hug my kids, wake up
tomorrow and see what's next.

Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
Huh OKAYL like because the first part is I'm gonna
enjoy this one.

Speaker 3 (01:21:53):
It's like, Okay, when hug my kids and see what's next?
Huh wait?

Speaker 12 (01:21:58):
What what.

Speaker 3 (01:22:01):
Just tell you?

Speaker 14 (01:22:02):
Man?

Speaker 3 (01:22:02):
College football? It has no idea? What's going on right now?

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
You know what NFL the upside down, culture on the
culture a top of the AFC, Baltimore's on the bottom.

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
Everything is look that down. So you no, we should too,
of course, let's make some picks.

Speaker 1 (01:22:17):
Why not?

Speaker 7 (01:22:20):
All right, guys, it is time to make our picks's
let's update you guys from last week. So we'll go,
I'll tell you guys how you did last week, and
then we'll update overall. So you both went five and
one last week. Pretty good week, Yeah, yeah, high five.
There is a little caveat though, because if you guys
remember we did six last week, yes, set of five,
because Martin ended up tacking on one more. Totally fine,

(01:22:42):
we can do that any week you guys want. But
that was the only one that Moncey got wrong. Oh
Martin got it right.

Speaker 6 (01:22:49):
That's why he wanted to.

Speaker 4 (01:22:50):
Have extra one tacked on. You both went five and one.

Speaker 6 (01:22:53):
Thank you for pointing that out.

Speaker 7 (01:22:54):
And now on the season. Moncey seventeen and nine, Martin
fourteen and twelve. So this is still any how any
more games here.

Speaker 2 (01:23:01):
I can't believe on fourteen to twelve. I can't believe
that Manzi's seventeen to nine. This girl is like this clear,
she just tells the future.

Speaker 8 (01:23:08):
Like me.

Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
It's a miracle of two games over five. I feel
like I'm a Stevie wonder Rody.

Speaker 6 (01:23:17):
Oh good stuff. Thank you for giving us some the
tally there, thank you?

Speaker 7 (01:23:21):
No, of course, all right, so let's move into this
week's picks. Let's start with the early morning game, the
Rams versus the Jaguars. This is in London, that's why
it's early for us, I guess, but everybody. The Rams
are favored here even though Pooka Naku is out, remember
that little detail. But they're favored by three and a
half points. What do you guys think? We'll start with you, Manzi.

Speaker 5 (01:23:44):
I think we talked about the Jaguars last week where
I was like, I just don't think I believe in
Trevor Lawrence and you were like, at this point, you don't.

Speaker 6 (01:23:51):
Believe in him, then you don't believe in them.

Speaker 5 (01:23:53):
I mean the jag scored twelve points against the Seahawks
at home last week. No, I you know the Rams
are banged up without Pooka and Akoua, and I know
that they have not looked the greatest.

Speaker 6 (01:24:05):
But I'm taking the Rams to.

Speaker 3 (01:24:09):
Cover see mine.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
See you're almost dead on the only problem with you
said Jacksonville was home last week, their home. This week's
playing in London. I know that they played at EverBank
Stadium in Florida last week.

Speaker 3 (01:24:23):
However, this is the real home game for the Jaguars.
They go to John Hill, London Town and cover the spread,
but still lose. All right.

Speaker 7 (01:24:32):
Next up, the Eagles are going to Minnesota to face
the Vikings. Carson Wentz is getting the starts against his
former team in the Eagles. Philly is favored, though on
the road by two and a half points.

Speaker 4 (01:24:42):
What do you think, Martin? Who you got?

Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
This is?

Speaker 12 (01:24:44):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
Uh, you know what, I don't have any analogy that
sec clean.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
I love the fact that this is one of those
bet on this if you at your risk, because everything
is telling you the Eagles are.

Speaker 3 (01:24:59):
Only I'm not following for it. I'm not following for it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:03):
Jack give me Carson Wentz and the Minnesota Vikings to
go ahead and give the Eagles their third loss in
a row.

Speaker 6 (01:25:09):
Is that correct?

Speaker 3 (01:25:11):
Yeah, I'll go with the redhead.

Speaker 5 (01:25:13):
Oh, I mean Justin Jefferson has to be super happy
that it's Carson Wentz because offensively. His numbers are way
better when it's Carson Wentz than it is JJ McCarthy.
And I don't the Eagles again. It's it's not that
I'm selling them being contenders to make it to the
super Bowl again, because there's nobody that stands out.

Speaker 6 (01:25:32):
But I'm with you right now.

Speaker 5 (01:25:34):
I think I this is a coin flip, and I'm
flipping it, and I'm saying the Vikings cover and win,
all right?

Speaker 3 (01:25:41):
Nice?

Speaker 7 (01:25:41):
Next up the Indianapolis Colts coming back to Sofi, the
scene of the crime for Ad and I Mitch dropping
that touchdown when they came and played the Rams, but
this time it's the Chargers, and the Chargers are actually
favored by two and a half points here as the
home team, even though the Colts have been one of
the hottest teams in the league.

Speaker 4 (01:25:58):
But what do you think, Manci, who you got this?

Speaker 3 (01:26:01):
Moncey's tapping her foot.

Speaker 2 (01:26:03):
I know she's tapping her foot and literally has her
hands on her temples, Like, oh my god.

Speaker 4 (01:26:07):
It's supposed to be hard decisions for picks.

Speaker 5 (01:26:08):
This is a really hard one because my heart says
one thing, but my head sends another thing.

Speaker 6 (01:26:13):
Khalil mack Back for the Chargers.

Speaker 3 (01:26:15):
The Mac is back.

Speaker 6 (01:26:15):
That's so great. But I don't know if the Chargers
can stop Jonathan Taylor. I just don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:26:23):
But if they can, then obviously it's just the Colts
are the number one scoring offense. But I am going
to say that the Chargers.

Speaker 3 (01:26:38):
Cover.

Speaker 6 (01:26:41):
I think they win by a field goal.

Speaker 3 (01:26:43):
I too, am picking the Los Angeles Chargers.

Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
Yay.

Speaker 3 (01:26:46):
Here's my thing with the Colts, and I think this
is sneaky underrated.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
They lost their kicker, who was money Specer Schrader had
never heard of him before this year. We'll always have
the memories. He got knocked out for the season. Now
they now they're going to be playing kicker roulette. Gimme
Cameron Dicker who never misses, and the Los Angeles Chargers
Joe All should be back.

Speaker 3 (01:27:07):
Tarvarius Ward not back.

Speaker 2 (01:27:08):
The Colts knocked two players out in warm ups last week,
so anything is possible.

Speaker 6 (01:27:13):
Yes, they did, and one of them it went to
IRV because of it.

Speaker 4 (01:27:16):
What is going on in their warm ups? It's their
fight club.

Speaker 6 (01:27:19):
That the Ward when he got hit, he just fell,
you know, oh he went down, we got und.

Speaker 3 (01:27:25):
There's something about that, the way that Xavier Worthy went
down Week one.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
When you're not expecting that violence to happen, it's just like, oh,
that just hit me like a brick exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:27:33):
That's why receivers will drop passes over the middle one
because they know they're about to get hit.

Speaker 4 (01:27:37):
It's because of that.

Speaker 7 (01:27:38):
You have to prepare your body and it's just yeah,
and when you don't, can get ugly. Next up, though,
the Washington Commanders traveling to Arlington to take on the Cowboys.
Dallas is favored by a point and a half. Here
actually found out a little surprising myself. But what do
you guys think, Martin?

Speaker 3 (01:27:52):
Who you got?

Speaker 9 (01:27:53):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:27:53):
Did you find it surprising? You do find it surprising,
don't you?

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
This is last week when Ian was like the cowboy
be talking the Cowboys, check man, and you know what
they did.

Speaker 3 (01:28:01):
They got pounded by the panther.

Speaker 4 (01:28:03):
Coming at me for it right now, because trying to
give you a line.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
Because I remember, I remember, because I tell no, I
like the Cowboys here. I think the Cowboys win this game.
This is the tricky part is one back to they
win this game by one freaking point. I'm taking the
Cowboys here. I don't the Commanders are old.

Speaker 3 (01:28:21):
They're just old.

Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
Jay Daniels is young, but they're old across the board.
CD's back. Give me the Cowboys, yeah, and the command
give me the Cowboys.

Speaker 5 (01:28:29):
Okay, Commanders, No, none, None of the receivers for the
Cowboys are gonna be a no Deebo Sabiel, No, Terry McLaurin.

Speaker 3 (01:28:38):
Debo's out with the heel. Mclaurin's still out.

Speaker 6 (01:28:40):
Yeah. No, Brown is out like they don't have anybody.
And I'm gonna I'm gonna take the Cowboys. I don't
want to agree with you.

Speaker 5 (01:28:51):
I wish, I wish I could believe in the commanders
on this one, but I do think the Cowboys cover
and I think they win.

Speaker 7 (01:28:58):
All right, last one here for you guys. It's one
of the Monday Night game. We have another Monday Night
double Hatterer. I know how you guys feel about that already.

Speaker 3 (01:29:04):
But yes, said no one ever ha.

Speaker 7 (01:29:08):
All right, But in the first of the two, the
Tampa Bay Bucks are going to Detroit to take on
the Lions. Lions as the home team are favored by
six and a half points. What do you think, Manzi?

Speaker 6 (01:29:18):
Six and a half? Definitely, the Buccaneers are going to
cover that.

Speaker 5 (01:29:22):
Have you seen what Baker is doing out there with
receiver number six, seven and eight, Like he's six seven,
But he is not six seven.

Speaker 6 (01:29:32):
You know what I'm saying. He is not six seven.

Speaker 13 (01:29:34):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:29:35):
The secondary for Detroit might be six seven because they
don't have both of their starting corners, all Pro safety
Brian Branch. We talked about this suspended, So no Buccaneers
are covering, no questions asked.

Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
Yeah, I'm taking Tampa to cover here as well. Six
and a half with this no defensive backfield. I understand
the Tampa's wide receiver room is a.

Speaker 3 (01:29:53):
Bit of a who's who? Like literally, who's Tu Johnson?
Who's Cameron Johnson? They both caught touchdowns?

Speaker 6 (01:29:58):
Yeah last week?

Speaker 2 (01:29:59):
Go okay, got you? But uh, I'm not. The Lions
have two. When's the last time Lions lost two games
in a row two years ago? I'm sorry, I'm just
I can't go that far. But I do think the
Buccaneers will cover the six. But I do think Detroit wins.
But it's gonna be close.

Speaker 6 (01:30:17):
It's gonna be close, I agree.

Speaker 4 (01:30:20):
All right, are you some atomic dogs?

Speaker 3 (01:30:22):
Let's do some atomic dogs?

Speaker 4 (01:30:24):
All right, atomic dogs?

Speaker 7 (01:30:25):
Just to refresh the listeners on the concept here, it's
you guys, pick one game a week, and you're picking
an underdog to come out as the outright winner against
the spread, not just against the spread, as the outright winner.

Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
Sorry.

Speaker 7 (01:30:36):
Uh last week, Monsey, your's hit Bears over Commanders. That happened,
well done, And then Martin, you picked the Titans over
the Raiders. They ended up losing, and that ended up
costing Brian Callahan many many other things.

Speaker 4 (01:30:50):
It wasn't just that game.

Speaker 3 (01:30:51):
I'm just saying, look, if you're gonna be wrong, go
wrong big, go wrong big. That's how I feel.

Speaker 4 (01:30:58):
But what do you guys got for Week seven?

Speaker 3 (01:31:00):
Ladies?

Speaker 6 (01:31:00):
First, Yeah, you know, it's like, how big of an
underdog do I want to take? Here?

Speaker 5 (01:31:08):
Because part the Buccaneers line lines ones is really interesting
because I think the Lions are a good team, and
I feel like taking Tampa. It's like, I'm not saying
the lines are a bad team. I just think Tampa is.

Speaker 6 (01:31:23):
On a good stride.

Speaker 5 (01:31:25):
I also think a much easier one would be the
Falcons beating the forty nine ers in San Francisco, because
the Falcons just unleashed to be Jean Robinson this past
week and I think they're realizing, oh, we just.

Speaker 6 (01:31:37):
Give them the ball, you can do a lot.

Speaker 5 (01:31:39):
And the forty nine ers depleted, losing literally everyone possible.
Give me the Falcons to upset the forty nine ers.

Speaker 3 (01:31:47):
I tell you, I like that. First of all, I
like that.

Speaker 6 (01:31:52):
You like that, you like that?

Speaker 14 (01:31:53):
I do?

Speaker 2 (01:31:53):
Okay, I think the forty nine ers their record is
food gaze. There's a lot out here, man, that is,
there's a lot out here that I like. I'm trying
to actually get on the board though, Cuz like three
and a half for the Saints over the Bears, Like,
I love that, But again, am I gonna pick on
them and win their second.

Speaker 6 (01:32:14):
Game this year against the Bears?

Speaker 13 (01:32:16):
Who?

Speaker 2 (01:32:16):
And then you know, I like better plus one and
a half the Jets and the Panthers. Are the Parentthers
really about to win three games in a row? Like
you know what I'm saying that the parents really are?
They really gonna rush.

Speaker 3 (01:32:26):
For four hundred yards and three five hundred yards of
three weeks? That really what's gonna happen.

Speaker 6 (01:32:32):
And then they're gonna trade Breeze Hall right after they lose.

Speaker 5 (01:32:36):
You know, the Broncos, they I did hold on I
did look at that one. Hold on, I did stare
at the Giants and the Broncos.

Speaker 3 (01:32:44):
Do I take armand hammer? Take hammer?

Speaker 6 (01:32:49):
That's so good. I like that one too. I didn't
go for it, but I did have that one.

Speaker 4 (01:32:58):
You know, what, are you going big?

Speaker 6 (01:33:00):
You're only big here.

Speaker 3 (01:33:01):
I can tell you something big, Spencer Rattler season baby?
Who that saying? Go big? Tam stakes who that? I'm
going with the New Orleans Saints to beat the Chicago Bears.

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
Caleb Williams apparently can't be on time to anything because
not on time to routes. He's not a time in
the progressions. He's not on time to production meetings. Maybe
he won't be on time to the actual game. It's
supposed to be bad weather in Chicago.

Speaker 3 (01:33:22):
Maybe we'll be late to that too.

Speaker 2 (01:33:24):
Give me special Rattler and a revenge game, A sneaky
revenge game for Spencer Rattler. I was sitting right here
at Fox Sports Radio when he got bench for Kayleb Williams.

Speaker 6 (01:33:33):
I remember vividly, Maryan, I don't know, man, you're tripping
on that one. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:33:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:33:41):
I like the other ones better, but I don't we
just talked about the bear.

Speaker 3 (01:33:46):
With one that.

Speaker 5 (01:33:47):
We just talked about the Bears and and how their
defense is playing so well, and you don't think they're
gonna go at home at home too.

Speaker 4 (01:33:56):
Listen, he could get the last laugh because we're giving
him so much.

Speaker 6 (01:34:00):
No, listen, I hope he hits. Okay, I hope it hits.

Speaker 3 (01:34:03):
That's like when some good luck, buddy, good luck. Oh
you think you know better.

Speaker 2 (01:34:10):
That's that's what my uh my uncle has said at
all the time. So since you know every damn thing,
won't you do it? You know what I'm saying, Since
you know everything want.

Speaker 6 (01:34:16):
You It's like I said this to you on your
other underdog pick. I said, that's cute. That's cute. That's
a cute pick.

Speaker 3 (01:34:23):
I'm about to help. I'm about to let all this
go in a minute.

Speaker 2 (01:34:26):
Like I'm sitting there looking there's actually good teams that
are underdogs right now, like the culture underdogs right the
Jags are a foreign to they're underdogs.

Speaker 3 (01:34:34):
Actually the Jacks will win anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):
Coming up next, let's talk about I really think this
game on Sunday, it's not necessarily a loser leaves town
match like in wrestling, but it is a if you
lose this game, I am no longer obligated to take
you seriously at all for the remainder of the season.

Speaker 3 (01:35:00):
We'll get to that. Moncie Saturday Standouts coming up next.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
Moncey just coming through with the truth right here, Martin Wise,
Monty Vans, coming to your life for the Fox Sports
Radio studios.

Speaker 3 (01:35:14):
I'm at Martin Wise, Monci's at Mons.

Speaker 2 (01:35:16):
If you want to tweet, then tweet the show and
get your thoughts into the conversation.

Speaker 3 (01:35:22):
Moncey just said it. Hey, you know what, I agree.
I don't know if I'm dry syster or not, but
arch Manning is ass. You know what I agree.

Speaker 5 (01:35:32):
It's just it's not getting any better. A lot of
big Sean, Yeah, it's just not getting any better.

Speaker 6 (01:35:41):
So like, what are we doing?

Speaker 3 (01:35:43):
I would say, like some of his numbers have improved,
but it's a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
This is what we were saying week one after that
Ohio State game, and we're looking at two guys making
their first start of note and Julian's saying and arch Manning,
I'll say, look, neither one of them had played particularly well,
but only one of them looked comfortable, and that was saying,
and he's you see saying. It has progressively improved throughout

(01:36:10):
the year, and there was a point today. It may
not have been true at the end of the game,
but there was a point today he had more touchdown
passes than in completions.

Speaker 3 (01:36:19):
That's what it's.

Speaker 2 (01:36:20):
Supposed to look like against the school like Wisconsin, who
r at this point is the dregs of the Big ten.

Speaker 3 (01:36:27):
Kentucky will not win more than two SEC games all year.
This might be one.

Speaker 2 (01:36:33):
There's a one point, just for the context, ten point game,
third and one, one minute left, Texas, Texas has the
ball driving down the field or attempting to to score
what would be the game game leading point.

Speaker 6 (01:36:47):
It's just like, how do you only put up ten points?
How do you only put up ten points?

Speaker 2 (01:36:53):
This is what I wonder, And I wonder this flatly
without having much knowledge of Taxis' roster outside of arch Manning,
who got stuffed on a third down read option attempt.
Now is tax Is facing a fourth and one with
a minute left and about on their own. They're definitely
field going ready to' to be like a thirty two

(01:37:14):
yard field goal from here. I wonder if arch Manning
ten years ago would have been benched by now Like
I wonder if like with nil like because I talk
about this because the the guys I know in the
league are like, dude, that first round pick is going
to play. Because if that first round pick doesn't play,

(01:37:35):
just the GM saying the guy I picked can't play, right,
Like guys who are undrafted do not get the same
amount of time.

Speaker 3 (01:37:43):
It was the big.

Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
Conversation with Shador Shanders this offseason or if people are
how come he's not getting as much reps as the
other guys because he's the fifth round pick. Everybody else
picked ahead of him is gonna get more reps they
wanted them more, like just fundamentally right, right logic because
the money that goes into that, right, the guarantees that
go into that, and then just the commitment that goes

(01:38:03):
into that. Well, Now, at College Michigan paid price under
would sit on scene, Texas paid Arch manning sight on scene.

Speaker 3 (01:38:12):
You don't know these guys. You know what I'm saying.
This is not their second deal.

Speaker 2 (01:38:15):
This is the first deal, right, And I just it
makes you wonder if Texas lines up for a forty
yard field goal attempt, if in fact, Arch Manning last
name was Weisser Bolanos instead of Manning, right, and even
got five.

Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
Million in IL.

Speaker 2 (01:38:32):
Would he still be the starter? Would he have started
every game as far this year with this play? I
don't know, and I think it's interesting.

Speaker 5 (01:38:39):
No changes would have absolutely been made if his last
name was not Manning. By this point, there just has
been no major improvement, Like Texas will win, but it's like, oh,
they won.

Speaker 6 (01:38:51):
In spite of Arch Manning's performance, you know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (01:38:56):
Absolutely like they've won, but it's not because of him,
and he may have had moments, but it's like those
moments are far in few between.

Speaker 2 (01:39:04):
So you know what, I just realized, we are two
minutes from the update and I Arch Manning is not
a Saturday Standout and I forgot to toss to it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:13):
Can we audible and do Saturday stand out at forty five?

Speaker 5 (01:39:16):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:39:16):
We do whatever?

Speaker 2 (01:39:17):
Yeah, so we will have the Saturday Standouts at forty
five and go to Steve de Sega in just a
minute to go ahead and update all the things going
on in college football.

Speaker 3 (01:39:26):
Steve Europe.

Speaker 10 (01:39:29):
Congratulations to Weisser Milano, so the big night right wherever
that is, thank you. Can we update that Penn State
football is still winless in the Big Ten. They have
just given up a touchdown in the final minutes to
lose at Iowa Stock Guys twenty five twenty four is
the final and on FS one, UCLA has just scored

(01:39:51):
to take a fourteen to ten lead over Maryland with
three and a half minutes to play. USC took a
brief lead at Notre Dame in the rain, and then
the Irish ran back the ensuing kickoff one hundred yards
for a touchdown, but Notre Dame missed the extra point
kick wide left, so it's only a twenty seven to
twenty four Irish lead against USC early in the fourth quarter.

(01:40:13):
Early in the fourth at Alabama tied leading Tennessee thirty
to thirteen. Bama has scored on a safety, also on
a ninety nine yard pick six at the end of
the first half. They're in the final minute. As you mentioned,
Texas leading now thirteen to ten at Kentucky, and it's
Missouri now trailing Auburn fourteen to ten over sixteenth rank MISSOO.

(01:40:33):
Early in the fourth Cincinnati leads at Oklahoma State twenty
eight seventeen. If that holds the Cowboys will be one
and six and on Fox TV Battle of the Rivals
BYU at home, leading Utah ten to seven late in
the third quarter, already wins in the top ten for
Ohio State in Indiana, for fourth ranked Texas and m
which held on tonight forty five forty two at Arkansas,

(01:40:55):
Georgia beat Old Miss forty three thirty five with seventeen
straight points in the fourth quarter. Gunner stocked in four
TD passes. Arizona State at home beat number seven Texas
Tech twenty six twenty two on a last minute TD,
Oregon and Georgia Tech with wins. Vanderbilt as well. Vandy
at home defeated number ten LSU thirty one twenty four.

(01:41:17):
LSU is two and two in the a SEC. As
for the ACC, Virginia was down at home much of

Speaker 3 (01:42:46):
We get off the air. Without further ado, let's get
him in. JAYD.

Speaker 2 (01:42:50):
Pakel on three College Football Insider, one of my favorite
people in the world.

Speaker 3 (01:42:55):
Jad, I know you're sweating out the end of this
Texas Kentucky game right now.

Speaker 14 (01:43:01):
There's a lot of.

Speaker 12 (01:43:02):
Sweaters on Decay and we got USC Notre Dame, Texas
Kentechul like you mentioned, been a sweaty Saturday man sweaty.
One of those are the best.

Speaker 2 (01:43:11):
So I know that your preseason predictions had Indiana's, you know,
top five team in the nation.

Speaker 3 (01:43:17):
I'm pump sure of it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:18):
Just how accurate are your preseason predictions to what we
see today and Week eight of college football?

Speaker 12 (01:43:27):
Yeah, I mean, I think in addition to how good
Indiana's been, it's been shocking, how bad Clemson's been, how
bad Penn State's been.

Speaker 14 (01:43:34):
Like, to me, those were the two.

Speaker 12 (01:43:36):
Most sure things in the country with what they had
on paper, what they had coming back. And I think
my biggest takeaway, Martin, this was my thought before the year,
but it's actually proved to be reality in practice. I
think it has never been harder to predict college football outcomes. Now,
that's kind of covering my own bases there, saying as

(01:43:59):
someone who does that for a living. So it's not
a not a bad way to see it up. But
I think with the way the platffor structure now too,
like a lot of it now is like who do you.

Speaker 14 (01:44:08):
Draw as well in the playoffs?

Speaker 12 (01:44:09):
Like you may get you know, a pretty solid showing
in the right lar season B ten and two, but like, hey,
congratulations are going ten and two?

Speaker 14 (01:44:18):
You played Georgia in the first round, organ in the
second round.

Speaker 12 (01:44:21):
That's very different what Pence they had last year where
they play asking me and boyd you stay? So?

Speaker 14 (01:44:26):
I mean the portal and il all that, it's it's
wild time in college football, man.

Speaker 5 (01:44:31):
Wild times maybe at LSU with Brian Kelly losing today
to Vanderbilt for the first time since nineteen ninety. You know,
in that fourth quarter, LSU had opportunities to win the game,
and you can were they not aggressive enough in that
final field goal when it was a twenty three yur field?

Speaker 6 (01:44:48):
Well, I believe starting the fourth quarter? What did you
make of it?

Speaker 5 (01:44:50):
What did you think LSU? Do you walk away saying LSU,
you mess this up. I don't know how long Brian
Kelly has at LSU knowing that buyouts don't even matter
right now, or are you just like Vanderbilt.

Speaker 6 (01:45:02):
Vanderbilt give them the credit. This was not necessarily LS useful.

Speaker 14 (01:45:07):
Yeah, I think it's a little bit of both.

Speaker 12 (01:45:08):
Like to me, I was just so taken back by
how bad LSU was on the offensive line, Like we're
talking about a Vanderbilt front seven that just made life
miserable for Garrett nah Schmier. I felt like every play,
and so I think you know us as college football fans,
you can you can tell a lot about how a
team is playing just by nature of how you feel

(01:45:30):
about them on third down? Are you expecting them to
pick it.

Speaker 14 (01:45:33):
Up on third and seven?

Speaker 12 (01:45:34):
Are you like third and seven?

Speaker 14 (01:45:35):
This might as well be third and twenty five.

Speaker 12 (01:45:36):
I felt like third and twenty five, regardless of whatever
the actual down in distance was. For what LSU was
dealing with offensively, it was just it was a lot
of hoping things would go right. You were holding an
LSU ticket today, So that's one part of it.

Speaker 14 (01:45:50):
But on the other side, like I think Diego Pavia
doesn't get enough credit for just how crafty that dude is.

Speaker 12 (01:45:55):
Like the buzzwords are fun of he's a dog, he's gritty,
he's got great juice, and that's all true. But like,
my guy just steals the game so incredibly well with
the corner blitzes. He just steps up without looking back
at it and just knows where the open lanes are.
He's just he's so savvy and crafty, which I think

(01:46:16):
he happen to to play at that level, and being
five nine and quarterbacks, so it's a mix of both.
But I think Vandy is the real deal as much
as you can be at this point in the college
football season.

Speaker 5 (01:46:26):
J D.

Speaker 3 (01:46:28):
Let me know if you agree with me here I
might be completely off base.

Speaker 2 (01:46:32):
So you have your Vanderbilts, you have your Indiana's, these
teams that were dormats that are now competing at the
top of their conferences. And I think you can directly
point nil and transferport less to the reasons why that
is occurring now and hadn't occurred for the past I
don't know, million years prior.

Speaker 3 (01:46:50):
I think what we're also seeing though, is like.

Speaker 2 (01:46:54):
Almost an erosion of the middle class of college football.
I had this thought, while we will watch Ohio as
they play Wisconsin. When I was in college at Michigan,
Wisconsin was never a national title contender, but they were
always gonna win eight or nine or ten games. They
were always gonna beat a ranked team at least a
year or two. They were always going to be somebody

(01:47:15):
that if you didn't have your chin strap buckled, they
were gonna come in and ruin your season. I'm not
saying Kentucky is quite the same as a Wisconsin used
to be, but a Kentucky is a team they'd win
six or seven games. They would beat one of the
top teams in the SEC, only one of them. But
it's like now those teams are horrible and the team

(01:47:38):
and a few teams that used to be terrible seemed
to be really really good. But where's like your college
football wildcard teams.

Speaker 14 (01:47:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:47:47):
Well, I want to double back up something you just
said because I think it's an important point. I think
there is the erosion of the middle class. I think
there's also an erosion of.

Speaker 14 (01:47:56):
The top tier white collar class.

Speaker 12 (01:48:00):
Well, like, I think we've seen both the best and
the most mid of college football kind of find a
not level playing field, but more level than before playing
field where George is not three deep on the defensive
line anymore.

Speaker 14 (01:48:13):
Now they're just one to half.

Speaker 12 (01:48:14):
The sand goes for Bam, the sand goes for all
those teams that have traditionally been of power. So that's
one part of that I think is important in terms
of wild card teams. Man, I'm looking at this Ole
Miss team today.

Speaker 14 (01:48:24):
I know they lost to Georgia.

Speaker 12 (01:48:25):
But if I am drafting like coaches to take, you know,
I got one game planned to pick to go win
a game like Lane Kiffen might be that first overall
pick up there with a guy like Hipel, a guy
like Sark like the way that he has now two
years in a row, had Kirby Smart and Glenn Schuman's
number the.

Speaker 14 (01:48:44):
Defensive staff for Georgia.

Speaker 12 (01:48:47):
I just cannot to do it with a quarterback to
play D two a year ago. Much less like I
think we have to account what Old Miss could be
here down the stretch.

Speaker 14 (01:48:55):
Relative to what they have on their schedule.

Speaker 12 (01:48:56):
I don't think it's going to be, you know, quite
the gaunt with us. Some other teams in their conference
have to play. Speaking of teams in their conference, I
think Oklahoma's kind of wild card. What I've said since
the Michigan game is they're kind of the crazy person
of college football. Like, I have no idea what I'm
going to get from them any single Saturday. They might
be totally off the rails and looking at Thinkainst. Texas,

(01:49:18):
you know, a week from now. But I know this,
I would not want to be locked in a room
with them. I know that any given I do not
want to be in that padded cell with Oklahoma and
just letting things go out. They're going to go four
quarters with that defense of that quarterback. I think they
can hang with anybody if they have their best ball,
all right, j.

Speaker 2 (01:49:35):
D fifteen seconds. Is Billy Napier still the coach at
Florida at the end of the year.

Speaker 12 (01:49:40):
No, No, he is not. He is not.

Speaker 2 (01:49:43):
They asked him how he felt about his job security
after a win today. Oh my, oh my goodness, No way, JA,
I'll just let you know your job security is great
right here with us.

Speaker 3 (01:49:53):
We'll have you here next week. Thanks coming on the
show by guy.

Speaker 12 (01:49:56):
That's the really appreciate Jo'll have a great Saturday, no doubt.

Speaker 3 (01:49:58):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (01:49:59):
That's JD on three College Football Insider. You can see
his show on the YouTube, The Hard Count. He's on
social media at JD Pakeellen. Now it's time for Monci's
Saturday standouts.

Speaker 6 (01:50:12):
Yeah, we had a few today. Let's get going.

Speaker 3 (01:50:17):
At the twenty four yard line of Michigan State. Big
play for Indiana, thirty nine yards of that one.

Speaker 4 (01:50:23):
Here's a throw by Mendoza.

Speaker 2 (01:50:24):
Line open this time it is surround ten yard line,
five yard.

Speaker 4 (01:50:28):
Line touch.

Speaker 6 (01:50:31):
Oh yeah, that was John Fisher from Learfield on the call.
Fernando Mendoza, I'm be coming in Indiana, Van, it's happening, Martin.

Speaker 5 (01:50:37):
He missed four throws today. He was twenty four of
twenty eight, three hundred and thirty two yards, four touchdowns.
They crush Michigan State thirty eight to thirteen, state undefeated.

Speaker 2 (01:50:47):
So Monts, let me just just for those keep it
track at home, and when you have as many incompletions
as you do touchdowns, good thing, right, it's.

Speaker 6 (01:50:54):
A great thing. It's a great just check it. Just checking.
This guy also didn't have that many incompletions.

Speaker 16 (01:51:00):
Snapped the saying pressure coming. He steps back to throw,
slides to his left franks and fires deep down the
middle of field for tit in the air, grabs, it
comes down with a ball and it's going to be
a touchdown.

Speaker 3 (01:51:09):
Carneal Tate thirty three yards.

Speaker 16 (01:51:11):
Grabs out of heat from Julian sand and he caught
it between a couple of defenders and the Buck guys
get on the board first leading six nothing here at Wisconsin.

Speaker 6 (01:51:19):
Yeah, that was Paul Keels from lear Field.

Speaker 5 (01:51:21):
Julian Sane missed only six throws today, three hundred and
ninety three yards in the air mark and he.

Speaker 6 (01:51:28):
Was thirty six to forty two, four touchdowns. Buck guys
shut out Wisconsin thirty four zero.

Speaker 5 (01:51:33):
Also Carnell Tate, by the way, he had six catches
one hundred and eleven yards and another touchdown.

Speaker 6 (01:51:37):
Two touchdowns just overall, good job Ohio State.

Speaker 2 (01:51:41):
Uh, you know, guys, I mean they wouldn't play Wisconsin, right.
Sure is a voluntary I mean they're volunteering in the
Big Ten. But the problem with Wisconsin is they did
hire a Buckeye to be their head coach.

Speaker 3 (01:51:52):
So maybe that's the issue.

Speaker 5 (01:51:53):
But when you play these teams, it should be thirty
four zero, right, Like that's what it should be.

Speaker 6 (01:51:57):
So you did the job.

Speaker 2 (01:51:59):
One mare here, who's up to the field side here
he's had a gun, changing up the looks.

Speaker 4 (01:52:07):
They're assault just the same for David Bailey.

Speaker 1 (01:52:09):
Back to back sacks.

Speaker 6 (01:52:11):
Yeah, he had five tackles today, back to back sacks.
Ten and a half sacks this season, which leads the
nation by the way. You just aar Fox TV on
the call.

Speaker 5 (01:52:19):
David Bailey defensive end for Texas Tech But Texas Tech
loses to Arizona State today twenty six to twenty two,
suffering their first loss.

Speaker 6 (01:52:27):
But David Bailey said, not because of me. I'm gonna
get my numbers.

Speaker 2 (01:52:31):
Listen, Honestly, if I was the defensive end, that's what
I'd be thinking about too.

Speaker 12 (01:52:34):
We do.

Speaker 3 (01:52:35):
Absolutely, That's what I've been thinking about too.

Speaker 2 (01:52:38):
I think that's my favorite would be my favorite position
to play in professional football, because if you make like
one play a game, you're a good shit you.

Speaker 7 (01:52:46):
You know what I love about David Bailey is he
doesn't wear any accessories whatsoever. No gloves, no sleeves, none
of that. He will just wake up from a nap
and come sack the quarterback.

Speaker 6 (01:52:56):
He doesn't wear any gloves or anything. Shite.

Speaker 2 (01:52:59):
Yeah, I say this, that's one of those moves that
you better be a bad effort if you're gonna do it. Yes,
Jayalen Rampsasey was out there with no glovees on Thursday night,
and Joe Flacco looked like I had.

Speaker 3 (01:53:12):
The boy looked like he had. It was a detention,
over and over, over and over.

Speaker 6 (01:53:16):
He didn't care.

Speaker 3 (01:53:16):
Back to back to back to back to back the back.

Speaker 6 (01:53:19):
Come here do some, I dare you do some? And
those were the Saturday standouts. I agree. I think I
would be a love to be a defenseman.

Speaker 2 (01:53:31):
So all right, what's more embarrassing getting blown up and fumbling?

Speaker 3 (01:53:42):
All right? Air balling a free throw? Are dropping a
pop fly?

Speaker 5 (01:53:48):
It's always airballing a free throw, always for me, I think,
because there's no you're there by yourself, nobody is trying
to stop you, touch you.

Speaker 6 (01:53:58):
No one's doing anything.

Speaker 4 (01:54:00):
Freeze in the name, it's in it.

Speaker 5 (01:54:02):
You gotta add a different one, like because for me,
it's always gonna For me, it's always gonna be an
airball free throw.

Speaker 3 (01:54:08):
To me, it's the pop fly.

Speaker 7 (01:54:11):
I live the pop fly, like playing Little League and
stuff like. I definitely dropped, you know, my share of
pop flies. It's embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (01:54:16):
So that's why you're sitting here with us.

Speaker 4 (01:54:18):
Yeah, exactly. That's why I'm behind the glasses.

Speaker 3 (01:54:20):
That's why you're without.

Speaker 6 (01:54:21):
I mean, it is.

Speaker 5 (01:54:22):
It is embarrassing, but I think like sometimes the sun
can be a big factor. And I sure, I just
think you're you're typically running. Me if you miss a
pop fly where you're literally like standing there and you
haven't moved and you miss it, I get that, But
typically you're running, you're moving, you're trying to catch a
pop fly free throw, you're just standing there and everyone
has stopped to watch you.

Speaker 6 (01:54:44):
Time stops, everything stopped. Just shoot the ball by yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:54:48):
These are the type of things that keep me up,
like knowing I'll never do, never be in the position
like which one would I rather do?

Speaker 3 (01:54:56):
Because like to me, when you see that first baseman
and he's.

Speaker 2 (01:54:59):
Kind of I got he's he's looking his eyes, Yeah,
I got sea legs under it, and he looks like
it's an earthquake.

Speaker 3 (01:55:06):
As you try to catch the ball, He's just like,
I don't know, Jim, is that gonna go down? I'll
tell you what we saw something at baseball we have
never seen before.

Speaker 2 (01:55:15):
We talk about that in just a minute. Martin wis's
Manci Bolanos Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (01:55:23):
Did you see that, Mantia.

Speaker 2 (01:55:26):
I'm pretty sure one of the balls showing out time
you just hit just landed here, I think, so I
don't hurt a loud noise.

Speaker 3 (01:55:32):
Thought it was a bird hit the window. No, it
was a baseball.

Speaker 5 (01:55:36):
Yeah, you know, fun fact like whenever two years ago,
when the home run derby was here at Dodger Stadium,
I got to go because I worked for the Dodgers,
so I get you know, I was working the events, working,
not really, but I was there and Otani was practicing.

Speaker 6 (01:55:50):
It was for the All Star Game, but he was
like not in that, he was just taking some hits
before that.

Speaker 5 (01:55:54):
And I was standing in like a center field area
talking to like one of my coworkers, and a ball
comes flying completely over all the seats, lands in center
field and we're like, who was that?

Speaker 6 (01:56:04):
And we look and it's show Tony.

Speaker 2 (01:56:06):
So when you're saying just for the for the listener
and also for me, you're saying you're standing in the
center field area, Yeah, you mean the stands in center field,
not like the field of center.

Speaker 5 (01:56:15):
Field, like past the seats, like on the ground, like
where the statues are and like people are walking.

Speaker 3 (01:56:21):
So you're in the you're in the concourse.

Speaker 6 (01:56:22):
I'm in the concourse of like center field in the
back and no one.

Speaker 5 (01:56:26):
He's practicing, but it's like the events of home Run
Derby and the All Star Game, and he's taking a
couple of hits and literally hits it like.

Speaker 2 (01:56:33):
So essentially where you were standing. If he had hit
that second home run, there's nobody else there. You could
have just stood there and.

Speaker 6 (01:56:40):
Caught it like a p I would have caught it.
Let me tell you, I never dropped the pop fly.
Never never see you can be dropping Yeah, you can't
be dropping pop fly.

Speaker 3 (01:56:48):
You'll never see that logo on his drop.

Speaker 2 (01:56:53):
You see that red Oser's logo and MV postseason helmets.
At Strauss we're trusted by pros worldwide. Pants built like tools, durable,
comfortable an engineer to perform from grit to glory. Gear
up at Strauss dot com, s t R A U
S S dot com. So the thing like, the Dodgers

(01:57:13):
are the a side left in the playoffs, right if
we're doing the marquee, the Dodgers are you know, the
the lead billing they come one at ten. You know
what's one of the opening acts in this tortured metaphor
around the baseball playoffs. Do you think it's the best
story Seattle or you know, Toronto? How do you where
do you land on?

Speaker 5 (01:57:34):
Maybe maybe I'm I'm a little bit biased here, but
I am definitely rooting for the Mariners.

Speaker 6 (01:57:39):
To pull this one.

Speaker 5 (01:57:40):
They the Dodgers would have home field advantage if the
Mariners win. If Toronto wins the next two games, because
the next are in Toronto, uh, they would have home
field advantage for the World Series or the Dodgers.

Speaker 6 (01:57:50):
But I like, uh, uh, I know what's Oh my god,
Latimergerreo Jr.

Speaker 5 (01:57:55):
Love him, He's great and that picture of him is
a little baby going out there to throw the first
pitch for his dad.

Speaker 6 (01:57:59):
Like, okay, melting hearts.

Speaker 13 (01:58:01):
I get it.

Speaker 5 (01:58:02):
But the Mariners have literally not experienced any of this
in so long. There are fans crying over winning a
game that's not even going to the World Series. It's
just winning a game, and the fans are crying in
the stands. I am a big fan of Cal Rawley,
I'm a big fan of Julio Rodriguez. I am rooting
for the Mariners, and I think that most. I think

(01:58:24):
if you're a baseball fan and you hate the Dodgers
because they are the evil Empire, you would be rooting
for the Mariners to get out there and win.

Speaker 3 (01:58:31):
I like the man, I had to get over it.

Speaker 2 (01:58:35):
Ma I sat there and watched all fifteen of those
innings just to watch, you know them Cole Keith not
cut the ball off in.

Speaker 3 (01:58:42):
The infield for the Tigers.

Speaker 2 (01:58:44):
And it really because this is the thing, is like
the the Tigers and the Mariners were both in on
a Reno Suarez.

Speaker 6 (01:58:50):
He goes there, hits the Grand Slam yesterday Glam.

Speaker 3 (01:58:54):
Also it's a home run of that year. Is So
it was like a lot of that, Like, man, why
wasn't my team more compet at the deadline? Uh, but
I'm rooting for the Dodgers. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:59:05):
No, the Dodgers, the way that they just turned on
the switch for this postseason is kind of scary because
I was a little bit the Brewers did do all
of the little things perfect, and the Dodgers like to
be dramatic, you know, they like to be dramatic, and
I was like, please don't be dramatic against the Brewers
because the Brewers are waiting for you to message up.

Speaker 6 (01:59:26):
They are waiting, and.

Speaker 5 (01:59:27):
Then they're going to capitalize. And the Dodgers said, no,
we're gonna we're gonna do this right and we are
going to handle business.

Speaker 4 (01:59:33):
And they're handled now.

Speaker 2 (01:59:35):
I know that the Dodgers obviously got the result last year,
but for a long time I felt that this organization
was a process over results type of organization, and the
results came through last year. I think you're still seeing
process over results going forward. And you know what, I
think we had good process and good results ritorization right now,
next we are by
