Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
That's right, Martin Wise and Steve Hartman broadcasting live from
the Fox Sports Radio studios.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
You know what, Steve, you know what we're doing.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
Are we watching your Michigan Wolverines right now taking on
the Sooners?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Already down seven? Nothing? Oh we are. But first we're
living the dreams. Okay, now, I see.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
I thought, okay, maybe I should reserve it for shows
that I do. But believe me, Martin, and we've done
many shows together over the years. I am living the
dream right now to be in shotgun sitting.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Next to the great Martin Weiss.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well, just know, if you see me about to miss
a turn or blow through a stop sign, please feel
free to yell.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
We're both in this together. You know that. You know
I got your back, man. All right, So let's start
with last week.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
The story was Florida is back, not just the sit,
not just the Gator's, the whole state Miami is everybody,
Florida's date, Florida, everybody winners. That feeling, Steve lasted exactly
six and a half days.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
It is unbelievable. It really isn't unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
If you saw South Florida last week, right.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Yes, I mean I said that that was the surprise
of last week.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
The Boise State.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
There's nobody thought that was going to happen because I'm
seeing all these prognosticators trying to predict, you know, what
twelve schools are going to be in the Boyshoffs playoff team,
and I think all but one had Boise State.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
You know, group of five saw what they did a
year ago.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
I guess they missed the fact that Ashton Genty is
now playing for the Raiders and is no longer in
Boise State. But it wasn't just that South Florida won
that game. They just blew the doors off Boise State.
So obviously that was a confidence builder going in to
Gainesville today, and they took care of business when they're
on that last second field goal.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
And honestly, to your point about what we saw about
the Boise State thing. Part of the reason why you
think a school like Boise State is going to have
that playoff success or get to the playoff even though
they had a gent last year. The reason why you think, Okay, well,
they're still a physical team. They'll be able to stay
physical and be more physical than the other teams that
are playing on their schedule. The record ultimately is what

(02:11):
we'll you know, have them dancing and around the playoffs
watching them go and get manhittled by South Florida. Should
have been and again we are now, depending on where
you are and your team and your schedule, anywhere from
five to eight quarters of college football played right, so
we're brand new to this thing. That should have been
a sign this show the South Florida is stronger and

(02:32):
more physical than you would expect, because that's how those
teams generally win is by you know, being that's where
the differences are.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
It's on the offensive line.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Every single year. And you know this as a Michigan guy,
I know it certainly is a UCLA guy.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Every school goes through this.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
You have teams that go into the season with a
lot of preseason height high preseason rankings which never have
made since the Associated Press introduced the preseason pull way
back in nineteen fifty and even at the time it
was like, how can you rank teams before they actually
play games?

Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's sort of a carryover from the previous year.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
As a quick sidebar, when do you think is the
appropriate times?

Speaker 4 (03:13):
I would say probably about three weeks in. Week four, Yeah,
week tour, I think you get three full games and
again you know like Texas, you know they lose to
Ohio State. Now they get you know, San Jose State,
they get San Antonio. You know, they get the Creampus
any pilot numbers. But yeah, i'd say three or four
weeks in before you start actually ranking them. But every

(03:36):
single year, and this is true in the NFL as well,
where you you go into his season. I've said this
about the NFL for years. There's gonna be four teams,
I guarantee you that are gonna wagh underperform preseason expectations
and there's gonna be four teams that are gonna weigh
overplay expectations. And it's the same thing with college football.

(03:57):
It happens all the time. We saw what happened while
this week with all the upsets in college football, were
they upsets? I mean, I mean we are watching Clempson
get upset at home, huge win for LSU, and the
next thing I know, they're losing Detroit at halftime at home.
Now they're come back and taking the lead in that game.
But maybe Clemson isn't nearly as good as a lot

(04:18):
of people were hyping them up to be so it's commonplace.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
We'll see if they rebound.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
But South Florida right now has really put themselves in
a prime position with two huge wins to start their season.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
And not to let's not be crazy, but if they
are somehow able to knock off Miami in the playoff era,
they're going to have it ar as long as they
win every don't blow two or three stupid ones.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
They're like, that's a.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Playoff team because you're sotly because you're right there, like, look,
I beat I won my state, right, I beat the
other teams in Florida, right, even if you play Miami close, right,
especially as as Miami is putting a whooping on somebody.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Carson Beck had and thrown incomplete pass before I sat down.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Well, I mean when you look at the American look
at that conference. So you mentioned at Miami, right, and
that's the big game next week, Then they have South
Carolina State Charlotte at home at North Texas, Florida Atlantic
at home at Memphis, San Antonio at home at Navy
at UAB Rice at home, right, I mean, if you

(05:21):
could clear the hurdles of Boise State at Florida at Miami. Yeah,
you can put South Florida into that playoff. So yeah,
these caves to count, I mean, they really do. But again,
you can overcome some early season losses. But that's not
a good loss for Florida today. Again, that was a
team that a lot of people thought was you know,

(05:43):
if you look at it right now, Martin, how many
teams do you think are going to come out of
the SEC? How many teams out of the Big Ten
are going to be in the playoff? You're probably looking
at four teams in each of those conferences, and then
you got four teams out of the rest. Is basically
what you have four SEC teams, four Big Ten teams,
and four from everybody else.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
And so when you're looking at that, I mean, so
this is the tough part when you're looking at like
SEC schedules, Like if you have if I had to
just look at results right now, Tennessee would obviously be
a college football playoff team.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
But those haven't played anybody in two.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Weeks, and like their average margin of victory is a
cool like sixty eight points.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah, they put out seventy two.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Georgia's kind of same story. Georgia is playing nobody in
these first two or three weeks. And it's interesting because
you say, like the early season losses you can rebound from.
I think almost do you almost benefit even more by
playing these big, big girl early season games that like
got Texas and Ohio State did because Texas to me,

(06:51):
they obviously won today at San Jose State. But I
see the look on your face. Yeah, ye rolls in
you like I look at that team, and do I
look and see a top five team in the nation.
Probably not, but without the prior knowledge of what we've
seen before. In Ohio State, Okay, they beat Grambling by seventy.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
I don't know if either one of those Like again, Martin,
look at.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
The numbers today, Oregon puts up sixty nine on Whoeklahoma
State and that was at the end of the third quarter.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
They sat on the ball at the end.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Tennessee puts up seventy two today, Texas Tech sixty two today,
Indiana fifty six today, Florida State seventy seven today, Ohio
State seventy nothing over Grambling. And you're playing San Jose State,
who lost their opening game. You went thirty eight to seven.

(07:49):
Even after the game. Arch Manning, I thought he was
the kid was you know, he was honest, he said,
a sloppy game.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
He was nineteen to thirty, nineteen thirty.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
I mean against San Jose State, you should be going
like twenty five out of thirty for four hundred yards,
six touchdowns or whatever. That was not the case. Arch
Manning is looking really ordinary. They got on him because
they went over the film of that Ohio Skate Ohio
State game and.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
There were open receivers down the field.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Oh yeah, there were open receivers and he wouldn't pull
the trigger and he kept checking down, checking down. So
after the game today, Sark was like, yeah, you know,
he got some passes down the field.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Something's not right with Texas at all.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
Am I get corrected, But right now arch Manning looks
vastly overrated, and I think we're we're not even certain
looking Georgia. Today he beat Austin p twenty eight to
six at home, twenty.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Eight game that was close in the third quarter. Yes,
this is what I was saying. As to the point
of Ohio State and Texas. We watched both those quarterbacks
saying and and Arch make their first It's not arch
first start.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
I don't care. It's just fourth start, right, it's for
that's a college player.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
At that time, it was his first time throwing passes
outside of Austin.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Though, how many different asterisks do you have to put
on this thing?

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Contact outside of Arston playing a team that had five
scholarship players in the middle of the rain on a
Tuesday afternoon.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
There's a big difference between all that and his first
passes outside of Austin.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Well, it shouldn't because he's been in that system for
two full years, so it's not like he was some freshman.
He was a junior who literally had been in this
same system with the same coach for two full years.
By the way, saying today for Ohio State, this is
the kind of numbers you're supposed to.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Put up in a game. Exactly the point I was
about to eighteen of nineteen, three hundred and six yards
for a touchdown.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Like when you watched the two quarterbacks play last week
in the shoe, That's what I was trying to get.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
To, and Ian was like, what do you mean? He
didn't even look good. Arts Manning does not possess at
this moment in time.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
The ability to go eighteen for nineteen against a bad No,
he does it, possess it. He just does not have
that ability at this moment to do that against a
bad defense.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
He doesn't have it.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Julius saying, you can see in his game like that,
in that game, in the biggest game in college football history,
Week one, you can see he looked familiar right there,
and he looked comfortable in that moment. Now, Steve, yes,
he is out of bounds watching Michigan, Oklahoma and Michigan.

(10:29):
That is Oh no, he's in right now. Michigan's defense
has given up. Off the top of my head, it
looks like three different third and nine conversions.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Okay, let me let me ask you have a true
freshman quarterback.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
He's on the road Norman, Oklahoma. No, no way not.
This is the.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
First time in his career he's thrown passages in the
state of Oklahoma.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
We have to give him a break.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Wait, but is he a true freshman because arch Man,
he's not a.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
True fil I'm just saying he's a third year quarterback.
You're doing all these asters, yes.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Okay, I mean you know you have to perform, have
to perform. I don't know what to say about Oklahoma
right now. Oklahoma's really been out of the conversation for
a while, even in the Lincoln Riley years when they were,
you know, rattling off Heisman Trophy winners. Once they would
get into the postseason, it came up the Big l
year after year after year. So they were not in
the same class with the SEC or the Big Ten,

(11:20):
not even close. So I don't know what to think
about Oklahoma right now, but this would be a huge
win for Oklahoma, even at home against a team like Michigan.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
I know this Oklahoma. I have seen more Chris Plank.
I didn't know what Chris Pike looked like. I've worked
with him here at Fox Sports right now for over
three and I had know Chrisplike look like until this
week because it's saved that everybody was asking Chris Plank, Yo,
what about John Matteer, What about Oklahoma? What about Brett Venables,
that young offensive coordinating.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
I saw him all over v send FS one. He
was everywhere.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
You know, my boy Plank was casting some freelance tecks
this week. Because there is a different feeling in Oklahoma
this year. There's a difference, because you're right that it
has not been especially especially the way that Lincoln Left
as an Oklahoma receiver has the ball bounce off his
face mask.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Hey, that's that's where you use though.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Can I ask you this, just rethink the fact that
this game is just kicking off at the start of
our show today.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
How difficult is this for you to focus?

Speaker 4 (12:23):
I would say, because I can admit, like, for me,
it's UCLA basketball more than it is football, because I
don't have any expectations.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
For UCLA football. But when Ucla, especially like.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
A tournament game, and I'm on the air, it is
impossible for me to focus.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
I will say that right now, my level of ability
to focus is relatively high because I've.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Been in this spot a lot.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
All you know, I'm almost always up against the Michigan game,
so I'm watching it now. There will be times. This
is what threw me off last week. I had never
seen Bryce Hunderwood play before last week, right because I
got sick of Steve a moment. You have to understand,
I'm from the Rich Rodriguez era of Michigan football, the

(13:07):
five years I was at the University of Michigan.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
You could look it up any which way you want to.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
From two thousand and eight to twenty to twenty thirteen,
or the worst five years in Michigan football history by
every metric, points allowed, points scored, wins, losses, winning percentage,
you name it, ballwins, you name it. So I have

(13:31):
what I used to call like a Michigan PTSD because
every summer, Oh, let me tell you, buddy, we got
the five stars coming.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Don't you just wait tight for ca baby, you just wait.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
You know, all all these five stars, and they all
would come, and they all would be just you know,
four losses in the Big Ten.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
You had Dinard Robinson and you know what who once
finished sixth in the Heisman Trophy.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Voting as a one of my favorite college football players
of all time. Because at that point in time, I
say that, like in University Kentucky fans have at the
best in college football because you'll, like you have like
a six and five, seven and five record every year.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
You will rarely be embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
You will beat uh Southwestern, Middle Tennessee, Eastern State. You
will get lose often more often than that. You were
gonna lose all your big games, but you'll be in
him and and if you can get one player that
makes you feel like you can win it.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
That's what Thenard Robinson was.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Those Michigan teams weren't good, but Thenard Robinson is one
of the few players I've ever seen in college football
who could score from anywhere.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
He was a quarterback. He absolutely was. He had the
right quarterback. It was just that it was unwelcome party
in town. You're absolutely right, but he had the right quarterback.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
It was if everybody could have got on board, things
could have been different. But nobody did good on board,
so were not. This is why I bring all that up.
I don't get into the recruiting or any of that.
So when I hear that Michigan is paying I had
one phrase when I heard that Michigan is paying ten
million dollars, have very much for a quarterback and true freshman.

(15:15):
Better be good. Better be good. That's it. That's all
I want to hear. Bet'd be good. If he's good,
I will never complain about the money. If he's terrible, I.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Better be good. Think about that.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Jas Harbot comes to Michigan, right, and he's a quarterback.
And he had several failed quarterbacks until JJ McCarthy.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
I heard. I heard about them all.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
I heard every one of them came in Jon o'corn, right,
I mean one after another. Guys are transferring out. Yes,
And finally with JJ McCarthy found a quarterback, Jake Rudoc.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yeah, all of them, all of them even, and then
JJ McCarthy. You have to have quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
He Brice Underwood threw a pass last week out of
the end zone and deep in his own territory. I
literally was at a loss for words and just stopped
talking mid air.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
I was in the middle of a.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Point talking about arts Mann and how this and that,
and I literally just stopped talking. And I was on
here with Zach Harper and He's like, what happened? I
was like, Yeah, I think I just fell in love.
So that's how I feel about Bryce hunder Well.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Here's why he is right now. It's seven to nothing Oklahoma,
and we got five minutes ago in the first quarter,
and he is trying to make.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Things happen, but nothing's happening right now.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
So speaking of nothing happening, there was nothing happening for
one defensive player because he decided I'm out of here.
Before everything got started, we had Steve's take on the
Hawk to heard around the world.

Speaker 3 (16:48):

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Y Steve Hartman here on Fox Sports Radio on a
Fox Sports Football Saturday.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
All right, so you're Wolverenes after a bad punt, have
now regained control of the ball on a.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
On an arm punt by John Matteir flew.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
That pass, Michigan guy, right place, right time.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
You know this.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Joon Matier be is He's like this trying to follow
on the footsteps of cam Ward transfer quarterback from Washington State,
relatively unheralded but big transfer portal grab and then makes
a big name for himself. He broke one of Baker
Mayfield's records last night last time out. I believe I
forget exactly which one.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Well, first of all, every guy that comes out of
Washington State has thrown a lot of passes, because that's
what the Cougars do. They throw a lot of passes.
Member Gardner Minshew at Washington Dude twelve after dark. He
was rolling up some ridiculous numbers at Washington State. So
but that one was sailed in. Michigan got the ball
right back seven to nothing, Oklahoma, What are we going

(18:38):
to see a Michigan score here?

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Martin, listen, you can only win with triple zeros on
the clock in the fourth quarter. I understand, Well, we
have triple zeros on the first quarter. It's over now.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
They were well, probably fourteen minutes and fifty seven seconds
left in the first quarter when Jalen Carter launched the
spit scene around the world.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
What did you think when they it was interesting the
coverage on the game where they went back and saw
that Dak Prescott had also spit. Did you think his
spit was just I'm spitting because guys do spit on
a football field, or was he delivering a spit message

(19:26):
toward the Eagles that Jalen Carter ended up responding.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
To In no way, shape or form.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Was Dak Prescott trying to initiate or start anything besides
removing saliva from his mouth and replaced it on the
ground when he spit in that moment?

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Uh, like, I get it. I get it quite literally.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
The first NFL game we've seen in a long long time,
so people may have forgotten how the thing works.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
But there's there's a lot of spitting going on. Ninety
nine point ninety.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Nine percent of the time the spitting ends up landing not.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
On a person. Everybody else finds a way to do it.
Everybody else finds a way to do it.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Dak Prescott was illustrating how to properly spit and avoid
all people.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Okay, but there was an exchange of words between Dak
Prescott and Jalen Carter before Carter spit on him. Has anybody,
anybody they're lip readers, anybody come up with anything from
that verbal confrontation that preceded the actual spit by Carter

(20:41):
on Prescott.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
So what I have seen thus far, and I really
truly believe this to be true. With Dak said postgame,
now you cleaned it up a.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Bit, But Dak said, he stepped up to me, and
then I responded and said, why in the hell would
I spit on you? With some expledtives added in here
and there, because Dek is like, now, I get it.
When I was younger, in a hot head, I you know,
I never thought about spitting somebody.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
But I tweeted at the time, I've done a lot.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
More than I'm not proud of out of anchor never
in my life that I think about spitting on someone.
And Dak is thirty one years old and has shown
not even just not they're not interested in spitting on people,
but in fighting in general. Have you ever seen Dak
Prescott in an argument on the football field.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
No, but think about this. So you're the Philadelphia Eagle
Super Bowl champions. They've unveiled the banner, crowd's going crazy,
a sea of green. Even if Dak Prescott decided I'm
spitting on your turf or in the words of the

(21:54):
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tuh Tuh, So he decides to disrespect
the field by spitting on their turf before the game
even begins. I'm trying to get into the head of
Jalen Carter. Oh, Steve, all right, yeah, listen, you're disrespecting

(22:17):
us on a night where we're being you know, unveiling
our banner as super Bowl champions. Oh something, you guys
haven't seen us thirty years.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Hold on just one damn second, because apparently.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
The Philly didn't even know that it was banner night,
according to Nick Sirianni.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Nick Girianni said, oh, bannernight. I didn't even know it
was banternight.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
We won't be there for it though, had no idea
it was happening, but already had a plan for it.
Jalen Hurts apparently has lost as a Super Bowl ring
in between the couch quastions. If you read any of
the stories about the way that he's acting about it.
No one's interested in the fact that they celebrated and
won a Super Bowl last year. They just wanted to
just act like it was nothing and it never happened,
which is something that I personally find like offensive.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
Almost and I.

Speaker 8 (23:03):
Don't know what it is with these this new generation, Steve.
I don't know what it is in this new generation.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
But the Oklahoma City Thunder de side. Oh, you know what,
why should I celebrate my Super Bowl? I mean my
NBA Finals win?

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Shay Gilders Alexander literally saying, guys, act like we've been
here before, you haven't.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Have you ever seen a team that was less responded
to winning an NBA championship than the Oklahoma City Thunder
were the yere.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
I tell you, the only one that I can think
the close runner up is a Philadelphia Egles. It's just like,
celebrate the damn Super Bowl. Maybe.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
So I'm not with I'm not with the whole You
direspected the feel because we had a Super Bowl champions
and you're not so ha ha because apparently the Eagles
flushed the Super Bowl down the toilet like it was
a bad thing that happened.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
But I will say this, any type of you can't Steve,
you will.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
You will twist yourself into an intellectual pres if you
try to justify and rationalize it's.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
A pet the We're got to.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Uh listen, this is this offense is not moving at all.
They need everything they can get. I need to see
a flesh. Where's the flax, Steve. Where's the flax, Steve?
I don't know, Please take over? Where's the flag?

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Is that not? Was he not running to the kicker?
No flag on that punt? Update this on the rest
of everything.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
You know, you should be less worried about them running
into your punter and more concerned about actually getting the
ball into the end zone.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Listen, forget forget.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
The you're rooting or hoping that running into your punter.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
I mindset, that's just gonna give you first downs. I'll
take them. If they're just gonna give them to you,
I take them. I don't I don't understand that.

Speaker 9 (24:50):
Because we're into the second quarter in Michigan has only
three first downs on its own at this point. Oklahoma
would double the yardage, but it is just seven nothing.
Sooners over Michigan their top twenty matchup early second quarter.
Also in college football, tonight, number three LSU with a
second quarter lead of seven nothing at home against Louisiana Tech.
Mississippi State scored an early touchdown, now up ten nothing

(25:12):
on twelfth ranked Arizona State early in the second quarter.
Late first at number twenty one Alabama. It's twenty one
nothing the tide over Uel Monroe. Kind of like the
Eagles game with the lightning delay. We have a lightning
delay at the start at tenth ranked South Carolina game
Cocks due to host South Carolina State tonight. It is
not yet underway halftime at number five Miami Hurricanes twenty

(25:34):
eight three over Bethune Cookman, third quarter at twenty fifth
rank Utah Youth League cal Poly forty nine to six.
One of many blowouts on this cuffcake Saturday. One of
those blowouts was not at eighth ranked Clemson, though they
trailed sixteen nothing at home to Troy before halftime. Clemson
does win twenty seven to sixteen. South Florida kicked a

(25:55):
short field goal on the final play to win at
thirteenth rate Florida eighteen to sixteen victories for Ohio State,
Penn State, and Georgia. Oregon rank six won its home
game against Oklahoma State sixty nine to three victories for
Texas Illinois, Florida State Seminoles seventy seven to three over

(26:15):
East Texas A and m sixteenth ranked Iowa State. With
the late field goal beat rival Iowa sixteen to thirteen.
Baylor won in two overtimes at number seventeen SMU forty
eight forty five wins for Texas A and M, and
Tennessee wins for Indiana and twentieth ranked Ole Miss which
won at Kentucky thirty to twenty three. At number twenty

(26:36):
four Texas Tech, it was the Red Raiders sixty two
fourteen over kent State. The North Carolina tar Heels, who
you may have heard, lost their opener this year. They're
only up ten three at Charlotte late second quarter. Right now,
Virginia Tech leads Vanderbilt in the second seventeen to seven.
In Major League Baseball, the Brewers are leading two nothing

(26:57):
at the Pirates. In the top of the eighth, the
Reds at the seventh stretcher ahead of the Mets four
to two. Former Mets manager Davy Johnson passed away. Dodgers
were winning our leaders, I should say. At the Orioles,
it's one nothing LA in the top of the fifth inning.
Among the day games completed, Phillies won four to two
at the Marlins. It was a Cup's loss at home

(27:17):
to the Nationals two one Washington just three hits for
the Cubbies and the Yankees beat the Blue Jays three
to one in New York. US opened women's final went
to Arena Sableka in straight set six, three, seven six
over Amanda and Nissimova. The men's final is tomorrow, bick,
do you.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
Well, whoa whoa, mister de Sega. So the passing to
Davy Johnson, you did not identify him as former Dodgers
manager Davey.

Speaker 9 (27:42):
Hi got the impression in his what three years as
Dodger manager that he was kind of collecting a check
at that point.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Yeah, I mean, I mean Gill. This guy has.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
The sixth highest winning percentage of any manager with at
least thirteen hundred games in his career.

Speaker 9 (27:58):
If you read any obituary of him today, is there
anything more than a cursory maybe half to full sentence
that he once was.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Employed wains the Nationals yet a ninety eight wins season,
I believe with the Orioles. Obviously the Mets great success there,
but the Dodgers were a footnote.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Yes, yeah, it was like, oh.

Speaker 10 (28:17):
Really, I don't remember him? I live in Los Angeles?

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Did I apparently remember that?

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Great stuff?

Speaker 4 (28:23):
Mister t Sega. Thank you very much. Yeah, all right,
So are we going to get some Michigan defense right now?
You need another turnover here?

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Well, I just wanted to real quick speaking of used
to live in Los Angeles and I know this is
near and due to producer answered, Clay Helton just scored
another touchdown the USC. Oh that thing was this thing
looked like they were pulling away twenty one to six.
Now it's thirteen twenty one. There's a one possession game. Hey,
Clay Helton's familiar with the tropany. He knows where the

(28:52):
bathrooms are.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Now.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Well, Clay Helton's winning percentage at USC is actually higher
than the guy that replaced them, Lincoln Riley. And Riley
came with a much steeper price tag, a mere eighty
million dollar buyout.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
In that contract for Lincoln Riley.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
So they're gonna have to, you know, really get y
up and not just wins over schools that are playing
their first ever FBS game last week and Georgia Southern
this week.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Football is back for the best pregame show every weekend.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
All you get from Countdown.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
To Kickoff, hard analysis and good picks.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
That's what I'm interested in.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Apparently no one else is Steve, because every single time
I gotta watch one of these Netflix, I mean, one
of these football games not on Channel.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
Two, four, seven or eleven, right, I gotta some streamer
took it.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
I gotta watch it on Amazon Prime, all right, I
gotta watch it on Netflix, or I gotta watch.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
It on Actable YouTube yesterday.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Imagine telling the guy with the chicken sandwich that's the
waffle fries that one day they'd be told football games
on YouTube.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
If you're about thirty, you know what I'm talking about.
What's I'm gonna go. But give a damn that Destroyer
has six million followers. I don't care. I didn't take
the players are tall.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
I'm gonna take it way back in time. As far
as college football on television. So when I was a kid,
he back so in the seventies, all right, So I
went to high school and college in the seventies.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Yes, So in those days, ABC was.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
The network for college football, and you got one game
a week, one game a week. The other rule was
is that you would never, ever, ever I lived in
the Los Angeles area, see a USC or UCLA game
at home outside of that USC UCLA game or maybe
the USC Notre Dame game. The feeling was the idea
of expanding college football's television coverage, it would wipe out

(31:25):
attendance at college football stadiums across the country. They were
absolutely convinced, like Michigan, you know, we're getting one hundred
thousand people at the Big House.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
If you start.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
Showing these games on television, nobody is going to show
up to the game. That was the fear back in
the day, and that's why they had such a limited
television schedule. In terms of college football back in the day. Well,
that obviously did not prove the case. Every game's on
television now. I don't care what game it is. There
is some network carrying every single game, and the fans

(31:58):
still show up in record numbers.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
So I love it. I just can't get enough of it.
But this is the thing, Listen, I also can't get
enough of it. I do not care. Look if whoever Street,
whoever puts the game on, I get it. It may
be expensive.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
I may gonna buy seven ninety nine for Peacock or
Netflix or whoever.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
And I understand that more is becoming more and more
expensive to become a sports fan.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
But to your point.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
They went from showing one of these a week fifty
some years ago. Not the agent, but you said, that's
I'm thirty five. I'm old enough to remember when the
Saints would be blacked out in New Orleans because the
game wouldn't sell out, right, So that's within the last
thirty years that you could not watch the Saints game
on TV and on Channel two they were showing the

(32:49):
Young and the Restless, and then you'd be able to
watch the four o'clock game afterwards. Because the Saints never
played at four o'clock and damn sure never sniffed prime
time in that day and age.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
But since that day today, football has been the.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Highest rated program, non political program on TV since then
to now, now that it's on YouTube and Amazon Prime
and Netflix and so on.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Why are we fixing what is proven to be not broke?

Speaker 4 (33:19):
Stop it money even money, money, money.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
You know the.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Answer to the question, Steve, I don't care who broadcasts
the game. I want to know why is it that
I got to sit there and watch Cam Newton in
his Mad Hatter top hat.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Instead of a real analyst?

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Why is I watching a YouTuber instead of somebody who's
really on the sidelines? Like literally, they cut the destroying
yesterday who spells his name with multiple ease for the
record in case you weren't aware, and his head takeaway.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Was, guys, I'm six seven football players are really big.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
That was a real report from the sideline yesterday in
the second NFL game on Brocas.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
Let me say this, Rich Eisen has had an amazing career,
really has Uh? Did you know that he and Adam
Schefter were classmates at the University of Michigan.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Yeah, but here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Here's the thing about Eisen, and this is the same
thing I think back in the day when bermanha.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Was also not everybody is a play by play guy.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
Eisen had a really hard time identifying the Chargers tight ends.
He continuously flipped the names on the two tight ends.
He's immensely talent. He has a great radio show. He
does a lot of positive things. Not a play by
play gas that's in Steve.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
You know what, I need thirty more seconds because between
Tarrico last on Thursday Night calling Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott Yeah,
and and Tyler Clonklin fumbling and he kept saying the
wrong guy, and I was I'm dealing to the TV
that is not Will Disley.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
I'm looking at it. He did the entire time.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
These are the two for the first we have only
I've seen eight quarters of NFL broadcasting thus far. And
in those eight quarters, in the midst of a weather delay,
they decided, you know, it's a great place to set
up our four shot in the middle of the weather
outside and a lightning delay. And you know what, the
lightning delay had been reported. There's gonna be weather all week.

(35:17):
First game of the year, the plan during the weather.
You know, let's just rerun the halftime show. Let's just
rerun the halftime show instead of doing I don't know
Bill's Ravens Sunday Night. I don't know anything at all. No,
let's just rerun the halftime show.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
They're trying.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
When you try to put a talk show guy in
as a play by play guy, it's a disaster. Play
by play is exactly how the job is described. Give
me the set of downs, set the line of scrimmage,
who's in the game, who's catching the ball, who's making
the tackle. That is your job as a play by

(35:53):
play guy, not doing commentary or winging it when it
comes to identifying players on the field.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Honestly, I'm not going I don't think I'm going too
far as maybe I'm too close to it as somebody
who's like, produce your TV all the time.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Yes to me.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
The production value of the first two NFL games this
year have been laughably wow, just laughably bad.

Speaker 4 (36:15):
But you know what we're gonna see over the weekend.
And by the way, let me do a little plug
for the debut of end Zone Radio tomorrow ten o'clock
on the West coast one o'clock on the East coast.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
You'rs truly VJ and the whole gang.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
We are going to get ready for the kickoff of
the first full NFL Sunday.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
And right now we will get ready for a little
game of buy or sell with our producer Ian that'll
come up next. Martin Weiss and Steve Hartman on a
Fox Sports Football Saturday.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
Don't listen to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Martin Weis, Steve Hartman here on a Fox Sports Football Saturday,
Let's go ahead and play a little game of buy
or sell, producer, and let's do it.

Speaker 5 (36:57):
All right, buy or sell. It's pretty pretty self explanatari.
You're just gonna go through a few NFL storylines as
we head into week one here, and you guys are
gonna tell me whether you're buying or selling your stock
on that storyline. So first off, let's start with this
very relevant, very fresh you guys just talked about it,
but a Jalen Carter suspension. Buy or sell that Jalen
Carter gets suspended beyond the fact that he already got

(37:19):
kicked out of that game, I'm selling it.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
I just it didn't start a fight. It wasn't a fight.
It was a single move.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
I'm buying because the league is suddenly making it clear
that they are. I mean, some of the calls they've
been calling for penalties seem to be outrageous right now. Yes,
so they're gonna send a message. Jalen Carter will get
suspended one game. Next up AJ brown Stock. After Thursday's game,
he really only had one catch maybe two.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
And one catch on one target.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
Yeah, one catch on one target for AJ brown on Thursday.
So do you think that's a sign of things to come?

Speaker 9 (37:55):
Or no?

Speaker 5 (37:55):
What are you doing with your AJ brown Stock?

Speaker 2 (37:57):
I'm buying it because either he's gonna he's gonna be
forced ten passes or be traded by a Halloween.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
I buy the fact that he is going to bitch
and moan because he always does when he's not getting
the ball. So and by the way, that was a
throwaway late in the game when he finally got targeted
and made his one catch.

Speaker 5 (38:16):
Next up Justin Herbert as a dark horse MVP candidate,
he was pretty impressive. He was pretty impressive yesterday. So
what do we think dark horse MVP candidate?

Speaker 3 (38:24):
I'm selling.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
But he was of the of the four quarterbacks we've
seen play thus far in the NFL, he was the
best one. They're gonna lose too many games for him
to be considered an MVP. You got at least win
your division, Gotta at least have like four thirteen twelve
wins right around there.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
I don't think they get there.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
No one's been a bigger critic of him over the
last couple of years than I have.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
But I am buying.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
I am buying because again, that was a huge win
for the Chargers against the Chiefs. And if he plays
anything like that, and basically the shackles are off right now,
Jim Harbaugh is letting him throw the ball. If he
does like that, yes he could be an MVP candidate, all.

Speaker 5 (39:03):
Right, JJ McCarthy as Minnesota's next franchise QB. Obviously he
sat out his rookie year, but this is his time
to seize the reins. You guys think he does it.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
I'm selling.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
I'm also selling because the Minnesota Vikings were selling. They
were trying to get Daniel Jones. They were trying. Aaron
Rodgers was on the phone like they've been in the
market for everybody today, like Sam Donald, will you please stay?

Speaker 3 (39:28):
They're not in on him. I'm not in on him either.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
Well, I'll buy only because again, we saw what they
did last year with a quarterback.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
That everyone completely gave up on.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
Sam Darnell had a legit Pro Bowl season, and so
McCarthy's been there for a year in that system, they
have a coach that knows how to coach up quarterbacks,
one of the best receiving courses in the league.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
So I'm by.

Speaker 5 (39:55):
Yeah, sounds that you're the only one who's given up
on McCarthy. Yea, and Martin.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
I thought the problem was like even as they were
running through Penn State, Like I say this all the time,
when Sharon Moore ran the ball for the twenty sixth
time in a row against Penn State, I stood not clapped, like,
don't put the ball at risk, but.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
You have to admit And this is what I said
about JJ McCarthy. Obviously, he didn't put a flashy numbers
of Michigan except for his one loss record. And the
thing about it was when he had to step up,
like the Alabama game, he stepped up and made big
time throws.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Steve So there was.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Three passes in the Alabama game, two one that was
Caleb Downs shoe was just one Like Kevin Durant and
Caleb Downs, if they had a little bit of smaller foot,
could have changed the entire course of football.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
And then that one right over Mark He's made his head.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
But coming in, let's get into the most hyped quarterback
prospect of all time?

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Did he bounce back?

Speaker 1 (40:52):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
That's right, Martin Y. Steve Hartman coming to you live
from the Fox Sports studios on the second major week
of college football. Bill Belichick and the North Carolina tar Heels.
I think we're the story of the end of the
first week of college football, seeing as they had the
last game played and didn't really show up. Now at

(41:19):
the half have the lead over Charlotte on a game
that you have to pay to watch.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
I just what was your first takeaway, Steve.

Speaker 4 (41:31):
My first takeaway on that game was I thought that
the worst coach team Week one was UCLA. I mean,
getting absolutely blown out at home. And what a compounded
was to John Foster, the UCLA football coach, had had
closed practices to the media and then once they played,

(41:55):
I go, now we know why they were closed. You
didn't want to actually show the fact you were not
teaching a team how to block or tackle or exec
plays or anything. So I thought, there's no way a
team's going to look worse than that. And then came
to North Carolina's game, they looked like they had not

(42:15):
been coached. And certainly the way the Belichick exhibited his
is disinterested what was happening on the field.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
That's what it.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
Looked like throughout that game, a complete checkout.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
You had everybody there.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
Michael Jordan was there, you had every famous North Carolina
individual ever was there for that game.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
And that was the way your team looks.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
They literally look like they had just shown up on
a football field for the first time.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
And the thing with me it was is one thing
if you're looking at guys in the right place to
just get run over, no right, because football ultimately is
a physical chest match, right, Like a lot of the
game comes down to can you move the other grown
man in front of you against his will? That's a
lot That's really what it boiled down through. For a
lot of that was what was happening with UNC boy,
it was misstackles glore, offensive lines. There's a lot of

(43:15):
guys look like they'll be sitting there with you and
me doing this and for the ACC network or talking
about their experiences of being coached by Bill Belichick, because
that they're gonna prow on something other than sports.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
But right now we're looking at uh.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
That this was I think it's a sixteen point lead
over Charlotte Geo Lopez back out there on the field.
Remember he came out and was knocked out of the
first game against TCU.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
Yeah, let's keep in mind this is very amazing.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
Stat about Bill Belichick.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
Okay, in the years in which Tom Brady was not
his quarterback, which would be his five years in Cleveland,
his first year in New England, the year that Brady
got hurt in the first game in two thousand and eight,
and then the last four years in New England. So

(44:05):
that's a total of eleven years that he coached without
Tom Brady. He won exactly one playoff game in those
eleven years.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Let's just keep that in mind.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
Okay, And the last time I checked North Carolina, tom
Brady's not the quarterback. So when it comes to who
made who, I'm not saying the bell Belichick can't coach defense,
although he didn't coach a lick of defense from what
I saw in that North Carolina game, but again in
eleven seasons in the NFL where Tom Brady was not

(44:42):
his starting quarterback. One playoff game victory.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
The thing that stuck me as I watched it and
I thought about the construction of the team in roster.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Seventy new people, so I want and so forth are players.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
I just kind of had this vision of, like you've
seen the movie Goodfellas before, you know how Paulie has
a really tight handle on everything before in the very
beginning of the movie, and then everybody else starts to
get a little bit more money. Okay, everybody else starts
to get a little bit more money, and all of
a sudden things starts to fall apart. Hank Hill, I mean,

(45:18):
Henry Hill goes to jail, and then he finds out
about the drugs and paul He's like, hey man, just
just tell me before you do this, but he had
already started doing it. Yes, Paulie doesn't have in that scenario,
the checks and bounce is necessary to be able to
keep everybody in his organization in line.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
And that thing of his Bill bell.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
Who's gonna in this Bill Belichick coaching circle who's gonna
tell him no, because they all get Christmas presents from him,
from his son to Michae Lombardi, who apparently I never
I didn't know much about him, but you look on
timeline and he is getting dragged over his ability to
scout talent and stuff.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
I don't understand certain guys. Mike Lombardi is one of
those mystery guys. How he continues to get jobs of influence.
I mean, the Raiders had Mike Lombardi in. I couldn't
understand it. Didn't win anything there.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
He's one of that.

Speaker 4 (46:15):
And then he when he's not you know, employed in
the NFL or in the college game, he's he's doing
commentary on television. At some point, you got to actually
produce something. Mike Lombardi is one of those classic guys
that continuously seems to have his name out there. Oh
that's right, because his last name is Lombardi, even though

(46:36):
he has absolutely no relationship at all to Vince Lombardi.
So I guess if your last name is Lombardi, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
It's like, Wow, I've done somebody. It's Lombardi. Get him
a job.

Speaker 4 (46:47):
He knows football, doesn't know football.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
You know, you think you would think it would be beneficial, Steve,
I am having trouble right now watching this Michigan team play.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
All right, so you're gonna get shut out here in
the first half. We got under a minute to go.
Now in the first half. I mean the good news
is Oklahoma hasn't done much either. I mean, it's seven
to nothing. Are you gonna get a little halftime speech here?
Or what's gonna happen?

Speaker 2 (47:16):
What I what I want to know is do we
I guess and I maybe they just want to keep
things light or whatever, as you jinks. Oklahoma and now
they definitely get a field goal out of this, thanks Steve,
But I just want to know, like where they are
with this kid like he's had They don't some screens.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
There's been a lot of rockets, but like, is he
like that or not? Like five to ten seventy six
yards that's his halftime stat.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
And so of those of the ten, yeah, I know
two have been dropped that we've seen. Just off my eye,
I'm not sure that for the rest of it. But
I'm looking at Oklahoma and obviously John Mattiers played way
more college football than Bryce Hunderwood has. Is Bryce Underwood
wraps up his sixth quarter. But they're not able to

(48:02):
run the ball. You have the stats right there, what's
Michigan running the ball right now?

Speaker 4 (48:05):
Sixteen carries for thirty seven yards. That would be a
wopping two point three yards of carries. So Haynes has
eleven carries thirty four yards. That's barely three yards of carry.
Jordan Marshall four carries nine yards.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
And we're sitting here watching Oklahoma sell out on stopping
the run, right, just sell out on stopping the run.
And it goes back to a game that we watched
last week, Oklahoma, I mean sorry, Ohio State and Texas.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
See.

Speaker 4 (48:33):
One of the things I thought about that game is, look,
I know Texas has talented running backs. I know Texas
had inexperience on their offensive line, a lot of new
guys up front. But if I was Texas on the
road against Ohio State with my quarterback, I am firing.
I'm going to try to put Ohio State on their heels.

(48:54):
But if you're gonna go run, run, pass, run, run, pass, run, run,
pass time after after time, jee that makes it awfully
easy for the defense kind of sort of settle in.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Kind of where I'm at I disagree.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
I think that there was no way that Texas was
going to win that game arch was playing if they
had thrown the ball thirty five don't know.

Speaker 4 (49:13):
But again, why didn't you come out early in the game,
get him into the game throwing the ball. He was
constantly third and long he was. Then he got scared.
I mean, I don't know how else to termine. He
had open receivers down the field, and he kept checking down.
Oklahoma just scored.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
First player of the game.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Arch Manning rolls out and throws the ball, hits a
player in the ankles, right, So I don't But to
the point I thought about by second quarter in I'm
looking at a team that does not trust their quarterback
in a big moment at arch.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
Manning, right exactly.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
So again, as I'm looking at this game, this is
the biggest moment of Bryce arth Woods college true freshman.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
What is he eighteen?

Speaker 2 (49:57):
Do you trust him or not? Do you trust him
or not? Is he your starter or not?

Speaker 4 (50:02):
Well, now you're getting two scores and as you're going
to go into the house. So that's what I'm saying,
he's gonna have to throw the ball coming out in
the second half, and I think.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
When they have thrown some intermediate to deep passing concepts
to be seen. His five completions have been strikes, right
and again, two drops, and you're running the ball at
a clip of fight arch carry two yards of carry
turned eighteen.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
Yeah, I know the kid nineteen.

Speaker 4 (50:26):
This kid was born in two thousand and seven, Yes,
two thousand and seven.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
And I'm saying this two thousand and seven, two thousand seven,
ten million dollars. Do we trust him or not? Can
we throw the ball or not? Because you're right, three
yards of a cloud of dust, the number.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
One high school player in the country.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Again several or the arch.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
Okay, well that's that's not a good comparison for your.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Right, But that's what I'm I'm just saying, he's calling
this game like you got a quarterback. You're scared he's
gonna make mistakes. This is a true freshman out there.
You have to like, you cannot be scared he's gonna
make some mistake.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
You think Jim Harbaugh would have coached this any differently.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
I think that Jim Harbour would add a better offensive line.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
I don't think pressure has been a big problem in
this game. Like you said, it's been more about the
play calling.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Well that's well, the issue. I'm not saying that he's
getting a ton of pressure. What I'm saying is Oklahoma
is fitting the run and Michigan is not doing anything
about that, like Oklahoma is stopping the run. That's what
I'm saying. Better offensive line. These guys are not getting
any pushed. They're not they're not re establishing lines of scrimmage.
They're not opening the holes. Justice Haynes is a hell

(51:43):
of a running back. If he has holes, he will
find them and it will run right through them. That
is Nick Saban recruited him, Okay, so he can. He's
think about all the other Alabama running backs and we're
not in the pros.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
So he should be great.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Think about it, think about it. So that's that's This
is what's frustrating about this. Twenty two seconds left as
Michigan as a fourteen point leader, there's a full moon
in Norman Okle.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
Well, here's the danger that can happen.

Speaker 4 (52:12):
Here's the danger when you have a quarterback of this caliber,
with the kind of nil money you're paying them. If
this offense doesn't work for him, he's going to be gone.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
He's the I believe the way he's NIO is structured.
It was not ten million for a year, it was
ten million over three.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
Okay, So if I get what your your point is
well taken into something ire.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
If people in the corner.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
Think that it's been detrimental to him to be in
this Michigan offense, that his future NFL stock is being diminished,
He'll be gone.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
I don't care. Any kind of deal can be broken.
We know that, Steve.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
I hear what you're saying logically, But in the league
in which Anthony Richardson was drafted fourth overall, this kid
could go six and six.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
Six and six.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
For three years straight and he would be a top
ten pick if he continues.

Speaker 4 (53:07):
You think arch Manning is still going to be the
number one pick in the draft next year?

Speaker 2 (53:11):
I think that Bryce Underwood looks miles better than arch
Manning has looked in colleges.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
I'm just asking you, do you think arch Manning will
be the number one pick in the draft? No, because
that was the foregone conclusion over the last three years.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
That was everybody else's fourgone conclusion over the last three years.
Martin Weiss right here said that Arch Manning up until
the Ohio State name was Kim Kardashian, famous from the
last name and a thirty minute highlight tape that was
it Kim Kardashian pre Kanye West.

Speaker 3 (53:44):
Isn't it true? Isn't it true?

Speaker 4 (53:46):
You claim that when cam Ward was an incarnate word,
you predict that he.

Speaker 3 (53:51):
Would eventually be the number one pick in the NFL
drug That is not true. What is true though, Well?

Speaker 2 (53:55):
I watched him at Washington State, yes, as yours. You
know you're truly in the midst and really in the
gambling world, yes, where you're watching those late night West
Coast games like those chick can really spin it.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
And when.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
He went to Miami, I was like, they got a guy.
I felt the same with John Matteer. And then he
went to Oklahoma. I said, Okay, Oklahoma's going to be
interesting here. I had never seen Bryce Underwood play before,
you know, seven days ago, right watching this the first
half against New Mexico.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
That guy, to me right now, Bryce Underwood.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
Looks like the type of guy who is a top
ten pick in the NFL draft.

Speaker 4 (54:36):
By the way, I'm looking here at the award that
he won Mister Football in Michigan. They started this in
two thousand and eight. There have been one, two, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
thirteen quarterbacks, including Bryce Underwood.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
To win that award.

Speaker 4 (54:53):
And the only guy that has seen any significant action
at all at the collegiate level of those quarterbacks where
mister Michigan is Dante More and he's looking pretty good
right now at Oregon Cody White, Now he was a
wide receiver. Uh none, Look at this, yeah, fin at Toledo.

(55:15):
Look at these quarterbacks. These are quarterbacks that won mister
football in Michigan. A complete who's.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
Who of the who's that?

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Well, Jo Cameron Martinez going to Ohio State. You can't
trust the high of state.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
Quarterbacks, right Yeah, of course, that's they're all problem. Donovan
Edwards right there, twenty twenty, that's a well, that's a
running back. We talk about a quarterback. You know what
that is?

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Yeah, that's the last undefeated college football champion right there,
That's what that is. Who that's undefeated college football champion.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Blake corn will be in the College Football Hall of Fame.
Some business is finished.

Speaker 4 (55:48):
As he said, UCLA is losing seventeen to nothing to
UNLVI They're close seventeen to nothing. They've been out gaining
one hundred and ninety six to fifty first downs to three,
time of possession seventeen minutes to seven, no turnovers in
this game, they are just literally getting run over by

(56:11):
the ReBs. UCLA football down seventeen does nothing.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Wow, coming into weeks like this, Steve Ecan Malayava, he
leaves Tennessee.

Speaker 4 (56:24):
You know what he is in this game? He's two
or three passing for seventeen yards. This guy was a
playoff quarterback a year ago and he ditched Tennessee to
come to UCLA.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
On the Nico thing, that's fine, fascinating. I know he
took a massive pay cut. I don't know what he
was as an NFL prospect at Tennessee. I'm just not
familiar with where the scouting community had him.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
I would love to know where they have him now.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Well, how this outside of just the play just after,
how everything over the summer happened.

Speaker 4 (56:58):
The UNLV court back is nine to eleven hundred and
forty three yards, two touchdowns, no picks. Iam Malayava is
two or three seventeen yards.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
You know, the biggest winner in all this Joey Aguilar. Yeah,
oh yeah, that's the big winner.

Speaker 4 (57:14):
So he goes to Tennessee after committing to UCLA because
they bring a Nica.

Speaker 3 (57:19):
Yeah, how's that working?

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Speaking a big winner? Speaking of big winners, we've had
some football games already. Who is the biggest winner of
the games we've already seen. We'll get to that coming
up in just a moment. Martin, Why Steve Hartin on
a Fox Sports Football Saturday, Steve, did you catch any
of the Syhawk game today? Iowa Iowa State.

Speaker 4 (57:41):
I started to watch that game, and I reminded myself
it was Iowa, Iowa State, so a.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Game obviously that matters immensely in the corn Field state.

Speaker 3 (57:54):
I understand this.

Speaker 4 (57:55):
My sister, my younger sister, Valley Girl from way back
in the day, has lived in Iowa for more than
forty years. She is an Iowa person. She has lived
there essentially her entire adult life.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
Is she a Cyclone or a Hawk?

Speaker 4 (58:11):
Well, her husband went to Northern Iowa, which is, of
course where Kurt Warner went to college. I don't think
they really favor either school. I think they probably lean
to the guys from ames Iowa Iowa State. Cyclones but yeah,
he went to Northern Iowa.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
My brother in law, Ali Frukmesh, Is that right? Yes, Yes,
that's that right. I think so that was pretty close.
Do you know that.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
Iowa has ranked in the top twenty in scoring defense
in the.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
Last six consecutive seasons.

Speaker 4 (58:49):
Do you know what was it two years ago when
Iowa had the lowest ranked offense in the country and
still won nine or ten games.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
Ten straight consecutive seasons? Iowa?

Speaker 4 (58:59):
Yeah, Kirk fair that's his deal. I didn't even see
who won that game.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
Iowa State did? Iowa State did? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (59:06):
Because I know he Kirk Farence is trying to become
the winningness coach in Big Ten history.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
As she is knocking on the door, right, Uh, he
likely will get it this year. Do you know the
rest of the winning his coaches in Big Ten history?

Speaker 4 (59:21):
Well, I guess, uh, you would have both Shamba Beckler
and Woody Hayes and guys like that. They didn't play
as many games obviously back in the.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
My thought was because I heard that stat this morning
as I was driving in on these in the Iowa
was taking that Kirk ference is a shockingly no number
away from being the winning his coach in Big Ten history,
and so.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
I thought, who could they be?

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Just off the top of my head, I like, as
you listen to this show at any point, you know
if one of my happy places is people asking me
questions like this, so they mean just thinking about it
listening them off?

Speaker 4 (59:55):
Right, did you just say bo? Shambeckler happy Bo. That's
why I figured Bo and what he had to be
up right? Of course Joe Pa has to be up there,
but he didn't coach most of his career in the
Big Ten. Remember he was an independent at Penn State.
They didn't move into the Big Ten until the mid nineties.
He'd already been there twenty five years.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Okay, so Bow and Wood he definitely have to be
up Yes, who else?

Speaker 4 (01:00:18):
Steve I mean, Duffy Doherty was at Michigan State for
a long time.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Sixties or seventies? Was Doherty Antonio? I mean Marked at
Michigan State?

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Mark D'Antonio didn't coach long enough, No, I don't think so.
He had like a seven year, eight year run at Michigan,
some pretty big years there though.

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
But who else he was?

Speaker 4 (01:00:36):
He was a double digit win it was for years, Honestly,
it was literally a two team conference.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
I mean, Barry Alvarez had a lot of years in Wisconsin.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
I go there.

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
Alvarez had a lot of good years at Wisconsin. But
I mean, I can't imagine it's anybody other than Woody
and Bow at the top of the.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
With Lloyd Carr.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
Lloyd Carr had to be near the Oh you know what,
I bet it's gotta be like freaking fielding Yost and.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
Like, I don't know if that was called the Big
ten way, you know what.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
All right, let's try let's let's at least try to
round out our five and then we'll kick it to
Steve and then we'll look it up.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:01:17):
So okay, so I'm gonna say Woody, I'm gonna say bo,
I'm gonna say Duffy Doherty.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
I'm then on all three there feels like okay.

Speaker 4 (01:01:27):
Just I think I think I think Barry Alvarez could
be on that list.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
I'll put him fifth right now.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
We'll put in fifth right now because I think we're
overlooking another Michigan and another Ohio state head coach, right
because I feel.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
Like, I mean it's John Cooper.

Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
Honestly, that was no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
What am I talking to her?

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
No? Oh, Jim Trestle, Trestle, okay, Jim Trestle. I would
say Trestle's on that list.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
I think of.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Probably looking Woody Woody Woody bow shampback with Jim Trestle. Honestly,
John Cooper were right there around five Dori Michigan State,
Ischia State, and now you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
Ready, I'm going I'm gonna come up the list.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
All right, Well, you know what before we do that
on the other side, fail the list, okay, after Steve
the Sagre, who I bet honestly could run down this
one through five, five through one of course, like I
remember it all?

Speaker 10 (01:02:18):
Do you dare bring that up with Steve Hartman in
the room.

Speaker 4 (01:02:22):
But I even I okay, I got the list in
front of me.

Speaker 9 (01:02:25):
Now, now, there was a coach in Iowa before this
guy who was there at Iowa for a long time.

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
Hayden Fry.

Speaker 4 (01:02:32):
Yeah, Haiden Pride's got to be on that list, all right.
I got the list in front of me. We got
some of them, right, all right.

Speaker 9 (01:02:38):
We have an update before we get to the college
football that the Dodger starting Pitcher tonight Yoshinobu Yamamoto is
throwing a no hitter through seven innings. At Baltimore, LA

football fans are anxiously awaiting.

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
Yes, And that's to hear Scott Hatson say, we are.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
Now it's seven hours of red zone football with commercial
but we are approaching quickly the one o'clock slate, which
to me, the first we don't you know, we talk
about the best moments in sports, right, people talk about
March Madness since the first kickoff of the one o'clock

(01:06:34):
slate to me, has always been special, especially with the
red zone.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
It's always been special, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:06:42):
So I've been doing what used to be Red Zone
now end Zone Radio for several years now.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
And as you know, we get out commercials.

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
We we we kick off the show right at kickoff.
Like this Sunday, we'll have eight games, sometimes we have ten,
but because they had the Thursday and Friday games, we
have eight games kicking off simultaneously. So you know how
I open up the show right? Eleven agree, and I'm
going to say it on the first full NFL Sunday,

(01:07:12):
and I rattle off the games before we do anything else.
Here are the games kicking off right now. And it's
just I love it. I mean, it's just it's the
absolute best, and it clare. It's off and running your
fantasy football teams. Betting on games. Everybody's got everybody's got.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
Some money on them. You know that. Did you hear?

Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
Did you hear the numbers? There will be fifty billion
dollars legally bet on NFL games this year, legally, you know,
legal books.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
Sure, fifty ones that can be accounted for dollar.

Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
Next dollars will be wagered on NFL games legally in
twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (01:07:57):
All right, Steve Shall, looking at that one o'cli, yes
you have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Look at his Michigan
I will say that it's about time.

Speaker 4 (01:08:11):
Haynes has been running left, running left, running left. He's
been waiting to break win and he just broke aus
seventy Was that the first play of the half?

Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
Yes, it was. Wow, we are back, baby b A C. K. Beck.
All right, let's go back to the NFL.

Speaker 4 (01:08:27):
That was like the opening play of the second half
against Belichick seventy five yard.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
Touchdownders play score is a little different.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
Right, you have Buccaneers, Falcons, Bengals, Browns, Dolphins, Colts, Raiders, Patriots, Cardinals, Saints, Steelers, Jets, Commanders,
and Giants and rounding it all out with a nice
chef's kiss Panthers and Jaguars at one o'clock tomorrow, right,

(01:08:57):
which one of these games?

Speaker 4 (01:08:58):
Okay, well, let me ask you this a right, So
this is a bit of a decision that we do
every single week. Okay, So we have in our studios
TVs four televisions. One of them is sort of that
split screen with all the multiple games, which means we
can focus on three games.

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
On our main TVs.

Speaker 4 (01:09:19):
Right, So we have to pick three games that we
want as those games. So if you look at that
slate of eight games, the games that I think are
going to be up on the screen are see I
think Buccaneers Falcons, Yes, because that is a big showdown
in the NFCCNFC.

Speaker 2 (01:09:39):
South Tampa has won the division a billion times in
a row. New offense with the Falcons new quarterback and
ish new quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (01:09:47):
I would say another game that would be up would
be the Bengals Browns, And it's more the curiosity about
the Browns right now. I mean, you look at their schedule,
I mean, are they trying to get Joe Flacco killed?
I mean their first six games are absolutely brutal. But
you know there's the intrigue how long does Flacco stay in?

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
And we'll also have the concept of.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
Is Joe Burrow and Zach Taylor really gonna lose another
week one.

Speaker 4 (01:10:11):
Game exactly, And then then it comes down to the
third game. So if I gave you two choices here,
which game would you choose?

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
Would you go? I'll give you two choices.

Speaker 4 (01:10:23):
Raiders, Patriots, Steelers Jets, Steelers Jets has to be Steelers Jets,
Steelers Jets. It's Aaron Rodgers versus his former team. So
that's probably the three games that we're gonna start out with.
But as we progress over the course of the day,
we go into our third hour, which now is called

(01:10:44):
the no huddle hour. No, because you go into overdriving
that third hour, because you come into the end of
the finish line. On those eight morning games, you're gonna
get two or three games are gonna come right down
to the finish. So we're gonna go with no huddle hour.
I love it, but I mean, again, you never know.
I mean one of these other games could be like unexpected.

(01:11:06):
And again, I dare anybody when you look at when
you look at a season, you're probably looking at those
you know, preseason over unders.

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
Right, how many wins the team's going to have this year?
Understand this?

Speaker 4 (01:11:19):
And this will happen every single year without exception. There
will be at least four teams that will be significantly
under They're over under projection for the season, and there
will be four teams significantly over their projections over under

(01:11:40):
for the season. If you can correctly pick those teams,
you're gonna make a lot of money, a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (01:11:47):
Okay, Steve, pull up. Do you have the week one
schedule in front of it? I do, an yeah, all right,
I have all the all the games here. Okay. I'm
wondering if you're on the same screen. I am.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
Okay, and you might be the only one that's able
to do that. I want to start doing this now, okay,
because we're going to be looking at these games ahead of.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
For the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
You have the whole schedule ahead of you, Yes, which
ticket it has the lowest tickets as low as which
is the least expensive ticket in the NFL this week?
I want everybody's opinion. If you could take a guest, DG.
You have the numbers right there.

Speaker 4 (01:12:22):
I I I can guess without even looking without looking
at the without even looking at the note, I can guess.

Speaker 3 (01:12:28):
Should I narrow it down? Should I give five to me?
There's one who you got?

Speaker 4 (01:12:32):
It's got to be the Saints game against Carl's got
to be the cheapest ticket out there.

Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
Where I was going to go.

Speaker 5 (01:12:37):
A different direction, I was going to say, Dolphins Coults.
I think that's potentially the two worst team Saints could
go in seventeen.

Speaker 4 (01:12:44):
Yeah, I know, at home against the Cardinals.

Speaker 3 (01:12:47):
The Cardinals.

Speaker 5 (01:12:48):
Cardinals, though, aren't that bad. There's at least some excitement
there with Cardinals.

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
Where's Marvin Harrison Junior?

Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
Did you use excitement in the same sentence with the Cardinals?

Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
Come on? And what are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (01:13:00):
I mean, when we're talking completely relative and when the
competition is Saints Dolphins.

Speaker 4 (01:13:06):
You know I spend time in Phoenix, right, Yeah, no, no,
all right, but the Saints hosting the Cardinals, it's got
to be the.

Speaker 5 (01:13:15):
Chief Okay, But but Steve, let me say, out of
the Dolphins, Colts, Saints, and Cardinals, which of those teams
would you be most willing to sit down?

Speaker 4 (01:13:23):
I would wager there's got to be more interesting Dolphins Colts.

Speaker 5 (01:13:29):
That's terrible.

Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
Well no, again, it's not worse than the Saints, Cardinals.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
All right, Okay, So just for the record, yes, Dolphins
Colts comes in as the fourth lowest.

Speaker 3 (01:13:43):
Fourth, so you just missed the metal stand. Dang.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Okay, that one tickets as low as sixty five dollars available, right,
Third lowest Carolina at Jacksonville.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
That was the other one.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
I was the definite nominee for the lowest ticket tickets
as low as sixty two dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:14:02):
The second lowest a surprise for me, at least.

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
Houston at Los Angeles four to twenty five kick tickets
as low as forty one dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:14:13):
Well, that's because nobody in LA cares about the LA
NFL teams. That's why I'm saying, Steve, for it to
be the second lowest ticket in America.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
Because everything you need to know.

Speaker 4 (01:14:21):
I'm asked about the Rams and Chargers have they made
in rounds? I said, look, they have very loyal fans,
but they don't have a widespread falling in LA.

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
They are far behind the Dodgers and Lakers.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
The least expensive ticket in America tomorrow, guys at Caesar Supernome,
New Orleans, Louisiana. The Eras and what's that number? It
is twenty seven dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
These are get INtime.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
Let's go to Spencer Ratlas Kyler Murray.

Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
No, no, no, no, boy.

Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
You got shock. Isn't that the guy's name?

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
The rookie quarter?

Speaker 5 (01:14:57):
I thought, yeah, Rattlers starting week one?

Speaker 4 (01:14:59):
Yeah, but they after the thirty year old kid.

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
No, no, no, Steve, so you got it right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
They drafted the twenty four year old legitimately, I believe,
twenty five.

Speaker 4 (01:15:07):
Year old, twenty five years starter from Louisville. What's his name, Shuck, Yes,
spelled s h. It's all it looks like Shoff, but
it's it's almost like a Freudian slip exactly. That can't
beat out the fifth rod, don't you think. The Saints
obviously are trying to tank in hopes that they can
get the number one pick and get arch Manning, the
local kid who grew up in New Orleans. His fathers

(01:15:30):
was a Saints legend.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
I mean, that's that's what they It's all Rigg.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
Heard this rig I've heard this narrative, and this is
what I'll say until I have no longer had breath
in my body. The first time I remember draft foolishness
in general, it was Archie Manning, Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:15:48):
Pulling a whole game with Eli.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
Manning, Yes he did, and Philip Rivers and so on,
And so I'm not saying this is the first time
that happened. I'm saying this first time that I remember it.
I'm thirty five. You mean to tell me that Archie,
in his old age, he is gonna let his son
Arch or grandson Arch play for the Saints.

Speaker 3 (01:16:05):
He loves that Child's not gonna Who is the new
Who is the new coach of the Saints? Kellen Moore.
Kellen Moore.

Speaker 4 (01:16:14):
Kellen Moore is exactly the kind of tutor that I'm
sure the Manning family would love to have for arch Manning.
They don't have any players, they'll have to build around him,
but he'll have a right coach and Kellen Moore to
be the tutor for.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
Art Sarkesian tutoring him for Kellen Moore.

Speaker 5 (01:16:34):
You know the offensive coordinator for the Saints. Is Garrett
Nussmeyer's dad. Yeah, so that that's a straight up easy
connection right there.

Speaker 3 (01:16:42):
Again, I imagine that Doug Nussmeyer loves his son. He's not
going to subject his son to the New Orleans Saints.
They're not gonna do it.

Speaker 5 (01:16:51):
He doesn't love himself. He's subjecting himself to the Saints.

Speaker 3 (01:16:54):
They love their Jody hey Man, gotta work shar his son.

Speaker 7 (01:16:59):
Though.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
You know what this is.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
Both y'all are guilty guilty of of of bad parenting
by Hartman Bias moss As Bryce under Loads just barely
missed a wide open I.

Speaker 3 (01:17:11):
Can't wait till you have your five kids. How man,
are you gonna have guilty on that too?

Speaker 2 (01:17:15):
We'll play sports court coming up next, Martin White, that's
Steve Hartman, Ian will lead the game.

Speaker 3 (01:17:20):
Going up next Fox Sports Football Saturday.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
It's time to go before the judge here on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 5 (01:17:29):
Let's play a game of sports court. All right, let's
jump in sports cord. I have a list of people
from the world of sports I'm putting on trial here.
When to present their case, It's up to you, guys,
the jury, to tell me whether they're guilty or not guilty.
So are you guys ready Martin currently reacting to that
Michigan Yeah, we're watching.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
That was sure one. Hey, John Mattier diff Michigan defense guilty.

Speaker 5 (01:17:54):
John Matteer guilty?

Speaker 3 (01:17:56):
Ah Lee, all right, start with a twenty eight million
dollars deal from a fake free planting company. Can we
get some something on him? Gotsh twenty If you can
run a car, you're playing college football store.

Speaker 5 (01:18:07):
Well, it's a good transition because Kawhi Leonard stands accused
right now. Reporter Pablo Tori this week came out with
a bombshell report, as I'm sure you guys have seen,
the Kawhi Leonards team friendly deal isn't really as team
friendly as it appears. Apparently he's making an additional twenty
eight million dollars from a no show endorsement deal for
a fraudulent tree planting company that Steve Balmer is invested
in himself. It's worth noting Bomber's vehemently denied all this,

(01:18:30):
saying he himself got scammed. But Kawhi Leonard, who notoriously
misses a ton of games each season, guilty or not
guilty on this Guilty.

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
Act Act the us OPE today on Little Place Guilty.

Speaker 7 (01:18:41):
I think guilty.

Speaker 3 (01:18:42):
I think he's the one going down for this.

Speaker 4 (01:18:44):
No, no, no, I understand this about Steve Bomber's position in
the NBA. When you have enough money to literally buy
the entire league easily and name it the National Bomber Association.
They're not touching this guy all. This is a complete
non story.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
Not guilty, folks.

Speaker 5 (01:19:08):
Next up, a nameless Philadelphia Phillies fans stands accused a
video and viral yesterday following a Phillies home run where
a dad can be seen grabbing the ball off the
ground bringing it back to his son, whose birthday it was.
It's a nice little moment anyway, an angry lady followed
him back to his son started yelling that he stole
the ball from her and that it was her ball.
After arguing for a second, the dad clearly not wanted

(01:19:29):
to start any fight, he just gave her the ball.
So because the footage went so viral, though, the Phillies
themselves rewarded the kid with a ton of stuff, including
a signed bat, so at least there was a happy ending.
But nameless Phillies lady guilty or not guilty.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
You know he's guilty.

Speaker 5 (01:19:43):
The dad, I knew you were gonna say this. I
want to hear it, though.

Speaker 3 (01:19:46):
The dad like, I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
Your initial moment of shock, all of that. Would you
said a total lady to shut up and go sit
back down? What type of example you're setting for your son?

Speaker 3 (01:19:57):
Some lady comes up and starts yelling at you. You're
in the right, just give it up to avoid conflict.
I'm not with you.

Speaker 4 (01:20:04):
I would agree with you on that, but I as
far as she is concerned, she's definitely guilty, guilty of
being the worst person in the world. It's a stupid ball,
and if you had gotten the ball, lady, you would
have done the right thing and handed to the nearest
kid to you. That's what you do when you get

(01:20:24):
a ball like that, especially unless you catch it on
the fly. If it's just rolling around, that doesn't even count.

Speaker 5 (01:20:31):
All right, Last quick one. Christian McCaffrey stands accused. The
forty nine ers star running back. He's already on the
on the injury report. He's questionable for tomorrow's game. Guilty
or not guilty. Christian McCaffrey guilty.

Speaker 4 (01:20:42):
Guilty of costing the forty nine ers another playoff appearance,
and guilty of costing Kyle Shanahan is shop.

Speaker 3 (01:20:48):
You know what, the only reason they had any is
because of him in the first place.

Speaker 1 (01:20:53):
Please don't don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 3 (01:20:57):
That's right, Martin.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Why Steve Hartman here on a Fox Sports foot Saturday
And I know the words I just said were Fox
Sports Football Saturday, but I heard Steve exclaim, yeah, I
don't repeat it because the FCC is listening. But Steve
had a reaction to other Steve's update in a way
that I was like, wait, what happened?

Speaker 3 (01:21:14):
What?

Speaker 5 (01:21:14):
What?

Speaker 7 (01:21:15):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
Well?

Speaker 4 (01:21:15):
I mean Yoshi Nobu Yamamoto was one out of way
from a no hitter on the road against the Orioles
and Jackson Holiday, the young son of Matt Holliday, came
in with a lot of hype home run, one out
away from a no hitter, and he gives up a

(01:21:36):
home run. So Dodger's still leaning in the game three
to one. But yeah, that's you talk about heartbreak.

Speaker 3 (01:21:41):
You're what out away from a no hitter and he
give up a home run and they pulled him out
of the game, by the way after that how many
pitches was it?

Speaker 4 (01:21:50):
You know, he threw one hundred and twelve pitches, so
he was right on the cusps. Meanwhile, Blake Trying came
in immediately gave up a base set. So the game is.

Speaker 3 (01:22:00):
Going right now, and the Orioles now have the time
run at the plate. So that'd be it?

Speaker 4 (01:22:04):
Would that be unbelievable? Oh wow, I mean the way
the Dodgers it's been recently. Lookout well to see.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
His point, he just said it in their ear trying
to hit the next pitcher or the next batter. So
now there's two long, So a runner in scoring position
as a Dodgers running and score runner in scoring position
after not getting a hit in the entirety of the
game until there was till the twenty sixth out, all.

Speaker 4 (01:22:29):
Right, so there you go, all right, two on for
the Orioles. Now, what if they pull this game out?
That would that be an unbelievable thing? Yeah, guy one
out away at three nothing, league one out a way,
and then the Orioles would score four in the bottom
of the ninth and win the game.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
That's the thing that drives me nuts about baseball.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
Yeah, especially as a guy used to bet on baseball
all the time, like you literally have no excuse.

Speaker 3 (01:22:48):
You can still win. You can always there's no clock
in base no clock, there's no pitch clock, but there's
no overall clock, overarching clock. You can still win.

Speaker 4 (01:22:58):
Yeah, if you're down four eight to nothing with a
minute to go in a football game, you're gonna lose.

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
Forty eight to nothing with three outs left. You still
got three outs. You still have three outs, you still
got three outs. It's the beauty of the game. So
trying to make something happen, You'll still.

Speaker 4 (01:23:13):
Trying to have But Yama Mota, Wow, what out away
from a no hitter gets up a home run?

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
You know, I'm perfectly okay with baseball not having a
game clock, especially now that it has a pitch clock.

Speaker 3 (01:23:27):
I am not okay with the way that soccer does
its time. Were they just randomly add thank you?

Speaker 4 (01:23:36):
I am glad you said this at the end of
the period, the extra time, why do they not have
I've gone to college. My my daughter's boyfriend was a
soccer player in college at Layela Marymouth, and I would
go to some of his games, and you know, the
stoppage time or whatever like determine why.

Speaker 3 (01:23:56):
Don't you have a clock?

Speaker 4 (01:23:57):
Okay, so we have another two minutes and thirty two
seconds or four minutes and twenty one seconds.

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Or whatever it is.

Speaker 4 (01:24:04):
Show us how much time extra do we have to
play instead of just your do we there still extra time?

Speaker 3 (01:24:13):
Whistles? Blow game over?

Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
Steve to say, I saw it in Steve's face before.

Speaker 3 (01:24:19):
So it's a wild pitched base.

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
Is now loaded? I mean, wow on second and third? Okay,
so a wild pitch of the.

Speaker 4 (01:24:27):
So second and third, meaning the time runs are now
in scoring position. Why would you pull Yamamoda at that point?
I do not get this. He's throwing one hundred and
twelve pitches. He gives up a home run. Let him
finish the game, all right, finish the game if they
lose this game. I don't understand baseball. You know, we

(01:24:52):
always talk about metrics. You know all these you know
every this is for all sports, not just baseball. The
same thing if every sport now they have these certain metrics,
except none of them make any sense. You have pitchers
now in baseball where they're asked to throw the ball
as hard as they can for as long as they can.
We've never had more injuries with pitchers ever, guys getting

(01:25:13):
Tommy John Sergey on the shelf. You've invested tens of
millions of dollars, all guaranteed money, by the way, in
Major League Baseball, and guys that are not playing.

Speaker 3 (01:25:23):
How is that?

Speaker 4 (01:25:24):
How does that make it? Show me the metrics to
back that up.

Speaker 2 (01:25:30):
The show that you should just throw the ball as
hard as you can and just keep it right.

Speaker 3 (01:25:34):
I get you.

Speaker 2 (01:25:35):
I don't get it as now, bases loaded for the Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (01:25:39):
Yeah, you're pointing at me.

Speaker 2 (01:25:40):
Tanner, Scott warming up, Blake chining through seventeen pitches, none
of them seem to go very well.

Speaker 3 (01:25:46):
We are talking about the Big ten and you're a
big ten guy, I am. And we were wondering.

Speaker 4 (01:25:50):
About the winningness big ten coaches of all times because
Kirk Farrence is on the.

Speaker 3 (01:25:56):
Cusp of settled on I actually have the top ten list.

Speaker 2 (01:26:00):
So we ended up landing on wood He Uh keep one,
Woody Hayes, both Scham Beckler, Jim Tressel, maybe you Jim
Cooper in there.

Speaker 4 (01:26:09):
Yes, our John Tombault, Barry Alvarez, Barry Alvarez, and I threw.

Speaker 3 (01:26:13):
You actually another you actually won the youth throughout you
ready honorables, all right, So here we go.

Speaker 4 (01:26:19):
Number ten Barry Alvarez, Okay, Number nine, Lloyd Carr, There
we go, There we go, Number eight Robert Zupkey Illinois
back when Ray Grange was playing wake in the a
University of Minnesota coach named Henry Williams in the turn
of the twentieth century. Another Hayden Fry Iowa six. Joe
pad despite the fact Penn State didn't move into the

(01:26:40):
Big Ten until his twenty seventh year at ben State,
and he's still number five.

Speaker 3 (01:26:45):
So I had him. That's my top is number four.

Speaker 4 (01:26:48):
Adam amos Alonzo's Stagg used to coach the University of
Chicago when they are in the Big Ten, is at
number three, and then Kirk Farrence tied for number one
with Woody Hayes.

Speaker 3 (01:26:59):
There you go. So those are the top ten lost today.
So you didn't get it to.

Speaker 4 (01:27:03):
Well, that wasn't a Big ten game. It's only games
within the conference, within the conference, understood. So it's only
games within the conference, not overall wins.

Speaker 3 (01:27:15):
Not overall wins. You think de Sean Foster will climb that.

Speaker 4 (01:27:19):
Oh jeezuz, I am sitting here. I mean it's humiliating
UCLA losing at halftime to UNLV twenty three to three.

Speaker 2 (01:27:31):
So I set a second ago that Blake's trying and
had thrown about twenty two twenty three pitches.

Speaker 3 (01:27:39):
Yeah, and none of them have gone well. The score
is now three to two. Oh my Dodgers, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:27:45):
So again you pull Yamamoto and Tryning has come in
obviously has not gotten it out.

Speaker 3 (01:27:50):
He's given up a hit, two walks.

Speaker 4 (01:27:53):
He's thrown twenty two pitches, nine strikes, and the Orioles
are still batting, trying to pull this game out. Oh,
by the way, bases loaded, No basi is still loaded.
Bases are still loaded.

Speaker 3 (01:28:13):
And don't worry, don't worry. Tanner Scott's coming out of
the bullpen.

Speaker 4 (01:28:18):
Tanner Scott. Tanner Scott has given up ten home runs.
Ten home runs. I think he's only thrown like forty innings.
That's crazy numbers.

Speaker 2 (01:28:29):
You know, Steve, Yeah, I don't know if you felt
this way when that Nico iom Aliava commit to UCLA. Yeah,
but there is such a different level of anxiety that
goes in when you're watching your team and you feel
like you got a real Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:28:46):
The reason we've been talking about of baseball is because
you don't want to talk about your Wolverines, who are
trailing twenty one to seven right now, seven minutes to
go to the third quarter. They are in scoring position
of huge third down play for your prize freshman quarterback
under when they run.

Speaker 3 (01:29:01):
It up the middle, they're going to kick a field goal? Here?

Speaker 2 (01:29:04):
Can you believe that guy calling this game? What are
they doing calling this game like sark? He's calling this
game like he scared.

Speaker 4 (01:29:11):
Wait a second, what was that like third and six
here on like the thirty yard line. You're down two
touchdowns and you run it straight up the middle.

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
And let's be clear, the only reason you got the
ball down there is Oklahoma muffed the punt.

Speaker 3 (01:29:26):
All right, you have not moved the ball, I.

Speaker 2 (01:29:30):
Mean the one touchdowns on a seventy some yard run
and sure are kick the field goal.

Speaker 3 (01:29:35):
Whatever, Well, this guy missed last time. He is one
of the best kickers uh in the nation. But that
one straight down the middle Evada. All right, so twenty
one to ten, now Oklahoma.

Speaker 4 (01:29:48):
Lady Michigan, were you expecting a Michigan win today on
the road against Oklahoma?

Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:29:53):
But this is what I was saying is that when
you feel like you have a guy at quarterback.

Speaker 3 (01:29:59):
Ever, because like.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
This is mostly my experience as a Michigan fan, I
got in like I started. Like I told you, my
first year at Michigan coincided with rich Rodriguez first year
at Michigan. The five years I was an undergrad of
the worst five years in Michigan football any way you
slice it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:15):
Right, But we always had or not always had.

Speaker 2 (01:30:18):
But by the second second year I was there, Denard
Robinson was there, and Denard Robinson was the type of
player and this existent college football that can single handedly
drag one side of your you know, if it's offensive
player or defensive player, drag that unit to like excellence.
Denard Robinson was like that, right, and you have every

(01:30:38):
so often you have man t Tale for Notre Dame.

Speaker 3 (01:30:41):
Was like that right.

Speaker 2 (01:30:42):
When he when he's making the plays he like when
he's out there, he's that much better than everybody else.

Speaker 3 (01:30:48):
That is cool.

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
And Donard couldn't throw the ball as well as you'd
like for your quarterback to be able to do.

Speaker 3 (01:30:54):
However, in terms.

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
Of being a just a offensive weapon, as he was
drafted by the Jacksonville jack War to eventually become It
didn't work out that way. But Offensive Weapon was awesome
and he kept you in almost every single game. That's
what I'm talking about right now. I did not expect
Michigan and Oklahoma to have going into this, didn't expect

(01:31:16):
the Michigan to have a great game or you know, really,
I have not been overly impressed with Michigan in the
Sharon More era, outside of the game he played against
Penn State.

Speaker 4 (01:31:26):
Would you have gone a different direction at coach Well,
I was opposed to promoting someone from within.

Speaker 2 (01:31:33):
What I would have probably done is going a different
direction in pitching for the Dodgers.

Speaker 4 (01:31:38):
No, Tanner Scott just lost the game.

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
Tanner Scott two runs sick.

Speaker 4 (01:31:42):
And can we open up the the mic right now
for Steve de Seger? Okay, let's let's shook his night.
So here's what happened. Like Yamamoto had a no hitter
with one out to go, three nothing, Dodgers one no hitter,
one out to go. He gives up a home and
Dave Roberts decides to yank him out of the game,

(01:32:04):
brings in Blake Trinan, who then walked in a run,
and then what happened after that?

Speaker 9 (01:32:11):
Tanner Scott, who gave up the game winning home run
last night lost two to one, gives up a two
run single up the middle to lose tonight's game four
to three.

Speaker 4 (01:32:19):
Has there ever been a more brutal loss ever?

Speaker 10 (01:32:22):
I can't think of one ever. I mean, you've been
non playoffs.

Speaker 4 (01:32:25):
No, you've been following this as long as I have.
Can you think of a Dodger loss that could compare?
When you're one out away from a no hitter, with
a three to nothing lead, and you lose the game
four to three, there's no.

Speaker 9 (01:32:38):
One to go to anymore in the bullpen. It's just astounding.
And remember a catcher, Will Smith took a foul ball
off the hand and is not starting this weekend, and
the backup catcher fouled, went off his leg and went
on the injured list tonight. The two catchers they've brought
up from Triple A, I have literally never heard of
in my life.

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
Yeah, and see some people say that, and I look
at him, I'm like, dude, you shouldn't have said that.
You're expected to be a national radio like you're supposed
to You're a national.

Speaker 3 (01:33:06):
TV natur ration. If Dave don't know, they may not
have existed a week ago.

Speaker 9 (01:33:11):
Tanner Scott his last three outings this past week Sunday
gave up a home run three runs in his game,
and then last night a home run to lose the game,
and then today to run single.

Speaker 4 (01:33:23):
Did you hear what he said after the game yesterday,
the baseball hates me?

Speaker 3 (01:33:27):
Yes? Well ye, Now he actually said.

Speaker 4 (01:33:30):
That when he wasn't making it's on me and he
goes right now, baseball hates me.

Speaker 9 (01:33:36):
I've heard of pitchers giving up no hitters in the ninth, sure, yeah,
I've never heard of. On top of that, as soon
as he comes out, the bullpen allows three other runs
to lose the game.

Speaker 3 (01:33:48):
Yeah, it was a doubt.

Speaker 4 (01:33:49):
Even an extra innings, they did not get an out.
Why would you not let him get the last out?

Speaker 9 (01:33:54):
This is a first well theoretically a first place team.
We're talking about after tonight that.

Speaker 3 (01:33:59):
The Padres actually won a game.

Speaker 9 (01:34:01):
Finally, the Padres are way ahead ten to three at
Colorado in the seventh, so it's going to be a
one game lead. But Houston is a first place team
for now, same thing as the Dodgers since July fourth,
they both stink, not just kind of.

Speaker 3 (01:34:14):
Not just mid und Januite.

Speaker 9 (01:34:17):
Eleven games under five hundred since the fourth of July.

Speaker 4 (01:34:21):
Okay, I have a big belief in sports gods.

Speaker 3 (01:34:23):
I really do. I know, as.

Speaker 4 (01:34:25):
Ridiculous as that sounds, I was always convinced the most
inexplicable World Series winner of all time was the nineteen
eighty eight Dodgers. Agreed they had come up back to
back seventy three and eighty nine seasons. They are playing
two of the powerhouse teams of that decade, the Mets,
David Johnson's Mets, the Mets and the A's. And the

(01:34:46):
fact that that team won with Franklin Stubbs at first,
Alfredo Griffin and short Jeff Hamilton. Does anyone even know
who that guy is at third base, t Bone Shelby.
I mean, this is the most anonymous team. You had
two starting pitchers, he had Oral harsh Seizer and a
rookie Tim Belcher. John Tudor was hurt, so you really

(01:35:08):
only had two starting pitchers Mike Jay Howard in the series,
and I felt like Tommy sold his soul to the devil,
which to counted for the fact that it took all
those years when the Dodgers actually went a legitimate World Series,
which they finally did a year ago, and maybe Dave
Roberts sold his solo the Devil to win that series.

Speaker 10 (01:35:27):
Yeah, what this is payback tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
Yeah, it's payback.

Speaker 9 (01:35:30):
Just astounding what just occurred. I mean, literally, I cannot
think of another.

Speaker 4 (01:35:34):
Regulatory has never been anything like, I can guarantee you
in the history of baseball. There's never been a pitcher
one out away from a no hitter to lose a
no hitter. That's happened before, but to lose the game.

Speaker 9 (01:35:44):
And Baltimore winds up with four runs in the bottom
of the ninth to win four to three, the homer
with two outs to break up the no hitter and
three runs off the two relievers. By the way, Yamamoto
not just one hundred twelve pitches. He had ten strikeouts,
two walks, eight and two three.

Speaker 4 (01:36:00):
Trinan came in and he pitched the three batters, gave
up a hit, two walks, walked in a run, and
then what that's the ninth blown save for Tanner Scott
nine blown saves.

Speaker 9 (01:36:15):
Any context, how awesome he was last year, there's a
reason the Dodgers overpaid to get him because when the
playoffs were Dodgers Padres last year, every time they needed
a lefty late in the game against Otani, the Padres
brought in Tanner Scott and he struck out Otani every time,
four games.

Speaker 3 (01:36:33):
Out of five.

Speaker 9 (01:36:35):
It's crazy not earning the dough this year.

Speaker 3 (01:36:39):
I'm so glad that you guys just took the last five.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
Minutes so you could watch a lot again talk because
I mean, how far was that passing?

Speaker 3 (01:36:48):
And fifty yards in the air? Sixty in the air?

Speaker 5 (01:36:50):
Right some like that?

Speaker 4 (01:36:51):
I maybe like forty, Like forty are just like straight
in the air, though, like forty are yards out of
price under what his Michigan lose is another tack.

Speaker 3 (01:37:00):
Hopefully that is a temporary injury.

Speaker 5 (01:37:03):
Forty four yard completion.

Speaker 3 (01:37:05):
Forty four yard completion.

Speaker 4 (01:37:06):
I'm considering the body part that he's holding right now.
I think he had the win knocked out of him.

Speaker 2 (01:37:11):
Yeah, Brady Norton is one of those that they tell
you when you do that, you grab your wrist with
the other hands, so it does as let everybody knows
you just got a hitting the wahoo.

Speaker 3 (01:37:21):
Yeah he did. There you go. They're still holding.

Speaker 2 (01:37:24):
I tell you, Yank, you better holding that than I
guess the Oklahoma defense when Michigan's in the red zone.

Speaker 9 (01:37:30):
Because are you implying Michigan is not in this game?
They're down twenty one to ten at Oklahoma with three.

Speaker 3 (01:37:35):
Minutes ago on corner that they're not in this game.
But what I am implying is that Charon Moore and Chiplins,
who's ever calling this game, is calling it like sarcditic
Texas against Ohio State, like they're scared of the quarterback,
like they're scared of the.

Speaker 4 (01:37:48):
Quarter seven to fifteen passing in this day and age,
that's not good.

Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
Had a few drops, however, let him throw the ball.

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
Let them throw the ball, because outside of a seventy
five yard run, it has not been much of anything.

Speaker 4 (01:38:01):
Io State's freshman quarterback was eighteen of nineteen. Today, I'm
just saying against air oh Eddie Robinson is not walking
through that door.

Speaker 3 (01:38:11):
It's not how much you think they got paid for that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:17):
I saw South Florida was paid five hundred thousand dollars
to go to Florida.

Speaker 3 (01:38:21):
Yeah today, yeah, at five hundred thousand in the win.

Speaker 4 (01:38:25):
Oh most of these Sacrificial Lands are making an insane
amount of money.

Speaker 3 (01:38:29):
It's they're been funding their entire program.

Speaker 10 (01:38:31):
There's already been some collections of over a million.

Speaker 3 (01:38:34):
Yeah yeah, wow. Do you think Tanner Scott got any
from the force.

Speaker 10 (01:38:39):
You should be giving back a million.

Speaker 3 (01:38:41):
Right, giving back a million.

Speaker 2 (01:38:43):

Speaker 3 (01:39:11):
Said they got the final exam on week one? What
happened week two?

Speaker 2 (01:39:15):
Martin Weiss and Steve Hartman here on a Fox Sports
Football Saturday. Dabosweeney said that Lsu got what a sixty
five on the final exam and his.

Speaker 3 (01:39:26):
Team got fifty eight.

Speaker 2 (01:39:27):
He got a fifty eight, So during the rain delay
in the first quarter against Troy. You think they were
like studying or something like trying to cram for the
second final exam because Clemson was in a world of hurt.
It was late early in the final score did not
necessarily look like what it it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:47):
Was, Martin.

Speaker 4 (01:39:48):
Let me let me tell you what we are finding
out from these coaches right now. I remember a couple
of years ago when the floodgates really started to open
up as far as the transfer portal is concerned, and
link Kiffin at ole Miss, I think brought in something
like twenty five to thirty players through the portal. Yes,
And he was asked me for the season, you know, hey,

(01:40:08):
what do you think of your team?

Speaker 3 (01:40:09):
He goes, I have no clue.

Speaker 4 (01:40:12):
I've got twenty five guys coming from twenty five different schools,
from twenty five different SIPs systems, and I'm hoping that
they can all figure out my system. And so Dabo
Swingey down at Clemson has been very hesitanting. He still
wants to do the old school way, you know, you know, build,
you know, develop players freshman sophomore. He wants to try

(01:40:33):
to build and only go to the transfer portal to fill.

Speaker 3 (01:40:36):
You know, obvious holes in his team.

Speaker 4 (01:40:38):
But this year they decided, we're going to open up
the floodgates a little more. We're going to bring in
some more and it's the coaches that can adapt and
get all these players from different schools, from all over
the country, different levels of schools, on the same page
as quickly as possible.

Speaker 3 (01:40:56):
And he is.

Speaker 4 (01:40:57):
Struggling right now, struggling right now, and what is really
the first year that Clemson is really sort of partaking
a little more in depth as far as the transfer
portal is concerned. Some coaches have figured it out. Some
may never figure it out.

Speaker 3 (01:41:16):
Obviously.

Speaker 4 (01:41:17):
I think the Nick Sabans of the world exited because
he didn't want to have to deal with.

Speaker 2 (01:41:22):
It, which I honestly have. I I know a lot
of people trashed Nick Saban for that.

Speaker 3 (01:41:28):
I didn't have it.

Speaker 2 (01:41:28):
Ah, Listen, I've been really good doing it this way.

Speaker 3 (01:41:33):
Y'all change the rules, y'all can have it right.

Speaker 4 (01:41:37):
I mean, I understand this if you if you're a
college football coach, this is how it works right now.
You still have to do the standard recruiting, but you
have to entice these recruits as Michigan did to get
Underwood with a huge NIL deal. Then every single year
you have to cross guys off your list, guys you've
already invested a year or two in who decided to

(01:42:00):
enter the transfer portal, So you're having to replace those guys.
Some of them blind side you with their decision to
enter the portal, and then on the other side, you
got to look at who is in the portal to
try to fill those spots. I mean it's crazy. I
mean it used to be you bring guys in, you
might get an occasional transfer, but nothing of that. You

(01:42:22):
would develop guys. You know, freshman year, sophomore, you red
shirt a guy. That's the way it used to be.
It is no longer that. And now that they've decided
how much money that each of the schools is going
to be allocated in terms of spending for NIL, it's
only going to make it worse. So some coaches can
figure it out. I think some of these old school

(01:42:42):
guys are really going to struggle.

Speaker 2 (01:42:45):
I think the perfect transfer portal vision should be very
similar to honestly.

Speaker 3 (01:42:52):
How Ohio State does it.

Speaker 2 (01:42:55):
If you can get the best player of the country
at a position, I think I should and if not
I'm gonna trust my class.

Speaker 3 (01:43:02):
Like oh I was saying they can.

Speaker 2 (01:43:03):
Get Caleb downs, They're gonna do it if they can
get quinch On Jenkins. I'm not saying he was the
ultimately the number one best running back of the country,
but he's probably the best back in the portal at
that time. We'll see what we can do here. You know,
that guy's a pro second round pick. And actually just
saw I get to sign his contract with the Browns
and looking to join the roster shortly. I Oklahoma just

(01:43:24):
converted another third down.

Speaker 3 (01:43:26):
This guy John Mattears driving me insane.

Speaker 4 (01:43:28):
Well, he's doing it as much with his legs as
he is with his arm. I mean, he's been picking
up some big plays running the ball in this game,
but that is wide open.

Speaker 2 (01:43:37):
So it's to me, it's honestly a lot more just
missed defensive defensive assignments and as much trouble as I
gave Hardball and his time in Michigan, that was one
thing that you knew was like assignment football is going
to be strong. You knew the offensive lines are going
to be strong, and the Lions in general offensive and
defensive lines, and.

Speaker 4 (01:43:57):
Oh, they're doing a little trickery wide open dropped.

Speaker 3 (01:44:00):
Yeah, lucky, my.

Speaker 2 (01:44:01):
Heart's beating too fast. Let's kick it. Steve Seger almost
literally was threw it.

Speaker 4 (01:44:06):
You got lucky on that that a non quarterback was
throwing that ball.

Speaker 3 (01:44:10):
That wasn't a non quarterback. That was the quarterback. That
the number one quarterback in the transportal that threw that ball.
He did there is Yeah, Yeah, they got lucky to
get sacked. All right, Steve, you're.

Speaker 9 (01:44:20):
Up two handoffs and back to the QB. By the way,
as far as guarantees, we did mention on last Saturday
show that coming up next weekend, Michigan is paying Central
Michigan one and a half million dollars for the visit,
and last weekend Michigan paid New Mexico one point eight
million for the visit. Those are the two highest totals
for guarantees.

Speaker 4 (01:44:39):
Scene that's not And by the way, even if you
lose those games seventy and another, how much did Gramley
get paid to get beat seventy nothing today exactly?

Speaker 9 (01:44:47):
And it was cupcake City, if I might borrow a phrase, yes,
all over the top twenty five and yet still Florida lost.
We'll get to that in a moment. There were two
absolutely stunning ninth innings in May League Baseball. The Dodgers
starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto had i say, had a no
hitter until two outs in the bottom of the ninth

(01:45:08):
at Baltimore, allowed a home run, came out after one
hundred and twelve pitches. The bullpen couldn't get the third out.
The Orioles, with four runs in the bottom of the ninth,
beat slumping LA four to three. The Dodgers have lost
five in a row, apparently. A year ago, Corey Seeger,
for the second time in his career, broke up a
no hitter with two outs in the ninth. The thing

(01:45:30):
is his team lost those games. The fact that you
have a no hitter going with two outs in the
ninth not only don't get that and don't get the win.

Speaker 4 (01:45:39):
With mister Sanger Dave Steve oh yeah, lost two no
hitters with two outs in the ninth back two.

Speaker 9 (01:45:46):
Back starts in nineteen eighty eight, and then with two
outs in the ninth the next year, lost a perfect
game bid in the ninth, astounding. We mentioned that the
Dodger lead is likely down to one game in the
NL West after tonight. That's because the Andres we're ahead
ten to two. It's now ten to seven at Colorado
and at Course Field. This game is not over. It's

(01:46:06):
only bottom of the seventh inning. Padres ten to seven
over the Rockies, and Saint Louis with three runs in
the bottom of the ninth beat San Francisco three to two.
The Giants had won five in a row. In fact,
they had won eleven of their last twelve games. That
shriek you heard in the background means Michigan is in
the end zone.

Speaker 4 (01:46:24):
No, it means Oklahoma just missed a field goal that
was very makeable. So there's still a one score game
wide left Oklahoma.

Speaker 3 (01:46:33):
There you go.

Speaker 9 (01:46:33):
So twenty one thirteen Oklahoma and Michigan takes over early fourth.

Speaker 3 (01:46:37):
Quarter in this game, still plenty of time.

Speaker 9 (01:46:40):
Arizona State, ranked twelfth, has come back to Tyett's game
at Mississippi State. It's seventeen all with under ten minutes
to play. Number three LSU's lead is now twenty to
seven against Louisiana Tech with four minutes left. Alabama of
fifty nine to nothing on Uel Monroe early fourth quarter
after a lightning delay at the start they're only late

(01:47:00):
second quarter. At tenth th ranks South Carolina Gamecock seven
to three over South Carolina State. Blowout wins today in
college football for Utah, Miami, Ohio State number one did
beat Grambling seventy to nothing. Wins for Penn State, Georgia
and Oregon Texas as well. Eighth rank Clemson was trailing
at home to Troy sixteen to nothing late first half,

(01:47:23):
but Clemson beat him twenty seven to sixteen. Illinois and
Florida State with wins. Iowa State with a late field goal,
beat Iowa sixteen thirteen. South Florida with the upset win
at number thirteen Florida eighteen sixteen on a short field
goal final play. Baylor won in two overtimes at seventeenth
ranked SMU forty eight forty five wins for Texas A

(01:47:44):
and M and Old miss wins for Tennessee, Indiana and
Texas Tech. Also in college football final seconds, North Carolina
leads at Charlotte twenty to three. Vanderbilt in the final
minutes leads at Virginia Tech thirty seven to twenty. I
See up fifty two to twenty over Georgia Southern Now
mid fourth quarter and at UNLV, the Bruins are on

(01:48:07):
the board. They were down twenty three to three UNLV.
It's with an extra point going to be twenty three ten.

Speaker 4 (01:48:13):
There we go, there, we go, mid.

Speaker 9 (01:48:16):
Third, so they've they've hit ten point mark. That's pretty
much it for the evening.

Speaker 4 (01:48:21):
Well that's where they were last week, so they're on
a roll with the ten points.

Speaker 10 (01:48:25):
I hope you enjoy your Vegas weekend.

Speaker 9 (01:48:28):
The Steelers added incentives to the contract of defensive tackle
Cam Hayward, so he will be playing in the Sunday opener.
Forty nine Ers running back Christian McCaffrey will likely play
despite not practicing Friday. Number one Arena Sablenka won the
US opening straight sets over Amanda and Nissimova.

Speaker 3 (01:48:43):
Back to you, thanks Steve, now just Steve Hartman, Yes,
just ran through. Cam Hayward gonna play.

Speaker 2 (01:48:51):
There was some doubts about that with these as he
was i mean All Pro last year at thirty seven
and yep, trying to figure out, you know, how to
make that contract reflect what he had done in the
years past. That is a game with a lot of storylines.
Is we have the first ever quarterback swap. The starting
quarterbacks for each team last year will be the starting
quarterbacks for the other team this year. Believe that's the

(01:49:14):
first in the Super Bowl era.

Speaker 4 (01:49:16):
I did not know that.

Speaker 5 (01:49:18):
I think Stafford and Golf played Week one.

Speaker 3 (01:49:20):
Did they play Week one?

Speaker 5 (01:49:22):
Unconfirmed? I'm gonna check that down.

Speaker 2 (01:49:23):
Play against each other though, Like that's what I'm saying,
they both. I don't know if they played against each other,
that is what I believe it is. If not, then
it's the second time, because I do know that the
Saffron and Golf did play obviously played in the playoffs,
but did play in the regular season. But I don't
believe it was Week one. Either way, it's the first
or second time. Which game are you the most interested

(01:49:47):
in on the slate tomorrow?

Speaker 4 (01:49:50):
Well, not counting obviously the Sunday night game. We're gonna
dismiss that. I say there, all right, Well, I I
look at I I think that I think it absolutely
is the Steelers and the Jets. I mean Aaron, Aaron Rodgers.
Understand this about Aaron, right, This is what I do
not understand. For the prognosticators that are predicting that Mike

(01:50:14):
Tomlin's gonna have the first losing season of his NFL
coaching career, because if you look at Aaron Rodgers, he
is an upgrade from anything they've had over the last
four years. If you look back at Roethlisberger's last year
where he could barely throw the ball ten yards down
the field, and then he had Kenny Pickett in there

(01:50:34):
for a couple of years, and then you had the
two headed monster last year. This is a guy, Aaron Rodgers,
who had what twenty eight touchdowns eleven picks, started all
seventeen games for a bad Jets team. Sure, bad organization.
He's now with a very good organization with a very
good future Hall of Fame coach and Mike Tomlin. I

(01:50:56):
don't see how they could be worse. I still think
that that.

Speaker 3 (01:51:00):
They'll win. They're not gonna win.

Speaker 4 (01:51:03):
They're a ten win team before. There's certainly a ten
win team with Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (01:51:10):
They're the only team in the NFL that replaced the
leading passer, the leading receiver right, and the leading rusher,
and I think they got better at all three positions.

Speaker 3 (01:51:21):
Well.

Speaker 4 (01:51:21):
Nadi Harris is interesting because he had four years with
the Steelers who started sixty eight straight games. Think about
that as a rookie starting his rookie year. He started
seventeen games four years in a row. But you know
what he was, He's like a three point nine four
point zero rusher.

Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
He's not a game breaker. Sure, he's just a guy
that carries the ball stumbling right. He's not going to
break any big runs or anything like that. I'm with you.
I don't see how the Steelers are worse.

Speaker 4 (01:51:49):
And I mean the division is confusing because but first
of all, Mike Tomlin owns John Harball. The Steelers always
be Ravens. Sure, even when it seems like there's no
way they can beat the Ravens, the Steelers beat the Ravens.
The Bengals are the wild card this year?

Speaker 3 (01:52:08):
Can they play a lick of defense?

Speaker 4 (01:52:10):
Because if you're talking about the most talented quarterback in
the NFL, the answer is Joe Burrow is the most talented.
Is that meaning he's the best quarterback? He doesn't have
the same resume.

Speaker 3 (01:52:22):
As other guys. What do you, Patrick.

Speaker 4 (01:52:24):
Mahomes, how do you measure talent? Because I'm talking about one.
I'm giving it at the eyeball test when I watch
him play and what he can do throwing the ball,
commanding on the field, everything that takes to be an
elite quarterback in the NFL. No one checks more boxes
with my eyes than Joe Burrow.

Speaker 3 (01:52:47):
Okay, I'm not and he can beat the Chiefs in
the playoffs, unlike Josh Allen. Not mad at that. I'm
not mad at that. And Lamar Jackson's won three playoff games.
Think about this.

Speaker 4 (01:52:55):
John Harbaugh was ten and five as a playoff co
with Joe Flacco, and he's three and five with Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 2 (01:53:06):
So he's thirteen and eight, thirteen and thirteen ten yeah, okay, yeah, So.

Speaker 4 (01:53:10):
He's ten and five with Joe Flacco, who never made
even a Pro Bowl and a two time MVP is
three and five.

Speaker 3 (01:53:18):
This is so.

Speaker 2 (01:53:20):
I was talking with Ian about this and I think
I don't have I try not to do this. Some
things has happened in the NFL, like historically, they happen
in the NFL, right first to first, first to worst.

Speaker 3 (01:53:33):
That happens every year in the division.

Speaker 2 (01:53:36):
We're at an unprecedented clip of Buffalo, Baltimore, and Kansas
City all making the postseason and winning games in the postseason.

Speaker 3 (01:53:49):
Yes, I don't know which.

Speaker 2 (01:53:52):
One is going to be and I don't have to
take built out one of those three. If one of
those three teams misses the AFC playoffs this year, I
know it'll be a shock, but historically it shouldn't be.

Speaker 4 (01:54:06):
Well, I am making this prediction. We have our predictions
here at Fox Sports Radio. My out of the box
prediction is the Denver Broncos will be in the AFC
Championship Game.

Speaker 2 (01:54:19):
I literally, Phil, I was the last one to fill
mine out probably of the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (01:54:26):
God is my witness. And who did I put into
Super Bowl?

Speaker 5 (01:54:29):
He put the Denver Broncos, which is funny because Dan
Byer also put the Denver Broncos.

Speaker 4 (01:54:34):
I don't have them be I have the Bills winning
the Super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (01:54:36):
I just think it's funny. All three of you guys
thought you were like being spicy.

Speaker 4 (01:54:40):
Well I was the spicy one last year because I
did pick. That was my off of what the Denver
was going to make the playoffs spake, So that was my.

Speaker 2 (01:54:47):
Good on the Limbs. Actually Ravens missed the playoffs. I
don't exactly have a great feeling about it. Wow, but
that's my cause. Again, they have all made the playoffs consistently,
all won their division, Like, do.

Speaker 3 (01:55:00):
You have the Bengals making the playoffs? I do.

Speaker 2 (01:55:03):
That would have to be how it would work right
for the Ravens to miss the Bengals and the students
would have to make it.

Speaker 3 (01:55:09):
What I don't think Joe Flacco is gonna just you
don't have the Rounds in the playoffs, you know, you
know I do not.

Speaker 4 (01:55:14):
Do you have the Chargers? You have three teams in
the West. Does I have the Chiefs, Broncos and Chargers
making the playoffs? I still think and the Bengals are
my other wildcard team. I have the Chiefs the Ravens.

Speaker 2 (01:55:28):
I still think the Chiefs win the division. Although no,
well here's my thing, no.

Speaker 4 (01:55:32):
No, no, if the Broncos are going to get that deep,
they got to win the division.

Speaker 2 (01:55:36):
If the Chiefs would stop tackling their own players, I
think they'd be a lot better. Like my homes tackling
Rare she Rice really set them back. Travis Chalzi tackling
Xavier Worthy in the open field. I think they My
advice would be to stop doing that.

Speaker 3 (01:55:52):
You know. That's that's that's my advice.

Speaker 2 (01:55:55):

Speaker 3 (01:56:15):
Come back in five minutes to see if my stomach
is stilling.

Speaker 2 (01:56:18):
Notts, Martin Weiss, Steve Hartman, Fox Sports Football Saturday.

Speaker 8 (01:56:27):
Apparently John buttere is Mike Vick a second? Why do
we do it so as anybody heard of a quarterback spy?
That's what I want to know.

Speaker 2 (01:56:35):
I've watched three Oh, I've watched two NFL games and
then in two games of Michigan and apparently.

Speaker 3 (01:56:41):
Nobody's under a quarterback spot.

Speaker 2 (01:56:43):
Matt Aberflus, Jalen Hurts is only running the Boss file.

Speaker 1 (01:56:46):
Spy.

Speaker 3 (01:56:47):
This guy Steve Spy and Martin White.

Speaker 4 (01:56:49):
Steve your your superstar freshman is seven of eighteen passing
in this game.

Speaker 3 (01:56:54):
He can't overcome everything and under this coaching has been atrocious.

Speaker 4 (01:56:58):
Well, then I go back to the question, did you
make a mistake promoting from within the ranks the successor
to a guy that rattled off a perfect season and
a national championship.

Speaker 3 (01:57:11):
I think Steve when you are making.

Speaker 4 (01:57:13):
A oh wait, I have an update. Bryce Underwito is
seven of nineteen passing.

Speaker 3 (01:57:18):
You've got to be kidding me. Seven in Michigan football
has had two hands on John Mattier more times. Did
you watch that play? Just like they have had it
wrapped up?

Speaker 5 (01:57:29):
Dude, he gets so much velocity on that ball like
he does not.

Speaker 2 (01:57:35):
He's been wrapped up multiple times, at least three that
I can count.

Speaker 5 (01:57:40):
That was all arm and first downs.

Speaker 3 (01:57:43):
Do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (01:57:43):
Like I was a third and one, but a fifteen
yard play wrapped up, completely wrapped up.

Speaker 5 (01:57:49):
They're just like line drives too, Like he just freaking'.

Speaker 3 (01:57:53):
He's throwing ninety seven to the four over the black.

Speaker 4 (01:57:56):
Matier has thrown for two hundred and fifty one yards.
He has seventy four yards rushing, one passing touchdown, two
rushing touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (01:58:04):
So, to answer your questions against miss very rarely, if
you're making a search for the best hire available, is
the guy going to.

Speaker 3 (01:58:11):
Be in the same building as you? Very rarely. I
don't love the idea of I would have liked a
more clean break.

Speaker 2 (01:58:21):
Understand that championship was just one, but I think if
you're trying to chase what used to be, you're gonna
end up not having anything in the current.

Speaker 3 (01:58:32):
Why didn't you go out on higher urban Meyer, I could.

Speaker 2 (01:58:37):
Tell you definitively that would never happen. I never asked
a man himself that I have had conversations with him.
He will not say the word in Michigan unless he's
getting paid to one team.

Speaker 4 (01:58:52):
How about going after Nick Saban, who used to be
the head coach at Michigan State.

Speaker 3 (01:58:56):
I don't see that either.

Speaker 2 (01:58:57):
Honestly, I never saw that Nick Saban was Like Nick
Saban strikes me as the type of guy to stay retired.

Speaker 3 (01:59:04):
I think he sees what happened Old Bill.

Speaker 2 (01:59:06):
And you got to remember Saban was in the college
game and said I'm done with the college game.

Speaker 3 (01:59:11):
It's not like we were talking.

Speaker 2 (01:59:13):
About, oh, like Saban to go back to the Dolphins
or something like that, Like he was already in the
college game and hung him up.

Speaker 3 (01:59:18):
No, the reality is we are going to ride this
thing out, see how it goes.

Speaker 2 (01:59:24):
You have the highest you should five star recruit, high
paid quarterback like you get the transfer of running back
from Alabama. Like the defense hasn't played poorly today, you
get this stop, didn't get a stop. But like to me,
this is not the sky is falling in ann Arbor
by any stretch. It's just the feeling that when you

(01:59:44):
feel like you have a guy at quarterback, every game
goes from, especially in the college level, every game goes from.

Speaker 3 (01:59:53):
That'd be nice if we want it to yo.

Speaker 2 (01:59:56):
If we can get our guy in position to make
a play, things can be really different.

Speaker 4 (02:00:00):
Here's the thing about Bryce Underwood. Though he is a
throwing quarterback. You know, three carries negative one yards. He
didn't run at all. It's about throwing the football. Seven
to nineteen is accuracy. He is miss receivers. He has
miss read plays. Now I think that there's definitely something too.
There's at least three of those incompletions where he and

(02:00:22):
the receiver were completely on the wrong page.

Speaker 3 (02:00:24):
That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:00:25):
The difference between like a harball coach team and other
coach teams is there were never just the miscommunications. Sometime
it was failed execution, but miscommunications rarely occurred.

Speaker 3 (02:00:37):
And that's the thing that happens when you have like
the moniacal.

Speaker 2 (02:00:39):
Attention to detailed type of level that horrorball was at.

Speaker 3 (02:00:43):
Well, you have to be able to read this.

Speaker 4 (02:00:45):
I mean, this is part of being a quarterback, making
quick decisions and throwing the ball accurately.

Speaker 3 (02:00:50):
That's how you become a successful quarterback.

Speaker 2 (02:00:53):
Coming up next, you'll hear Ertorius Jason wrtin the best
college football wrap up show in America right here,
