Speaker 1 (00:00):
Philipbuster, Philipbuster. It's our number, our number four. And the
New York Giants one big behind Jackson Dard and Cam's
Scannabou in the game last night, but their backup quarterback
briefly got in. It did not go well for Russell Wilson.
So how likely are we to see the Giants quarterback
Russell Wilson traded? The trade deadline is next month. Also,

(00:24):
how do you interpret this report that the Browns are
worried about being burned by Shrader Sanders. They kind of
want to dump him, they want to release him, but
they're concerned that he'll come back to haunt them.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
We'll discuss that.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
And what did you make of the office drama brewing
inside the Cowboys headquarters after Trevon Diggs decided to go
public ripping the coaching staff of the Dallas Cowboys. We'll
talk about that as well. All of it right now here.
It is our number four. Have a wonderful weekend. Don't

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Should be so. Quite a sporting day. Quite a sporting day.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
We had the Philadelphia fields one of the great choke
jobs you can possibly have. The pitcher only the second
time in the history of baseball a playoff series has
ended on a walkoff hit. Our walkoff error, rather walkoff error,
walkoff air. Oh my, O'Ryan Kirkering, the Philly relief pitcher,
did the thing you can't do at the time.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
You can't do it. Just gave the Phillies, gave the
Dodgers the win.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
It's wild. Uh yeah, Dodgers two runs. They won two
to one. On eleven, La goes on to the NLCS.
They're in the final four and they get.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
There basically basically be a basis loader walk. That was
their first run. The second run was scored.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
On o'rian Kirkering's error, as he joins Ruge Nunn Odor
of the Rangers back in the day and the only players, uh,
the only ones to cost their team of playoff series
with an air. At game Bill Buckner made an error
that most famous era in baseball history, but that was
in Game six. There was actually still still be played

(03:42):
a game seven, so and we had an NFL game
where you know, the team from New York.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
The Giants actually looked good. It look like they knew
what they were doing, and the Eagles looked terrible.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
The halftime adjustments there were none, got shut out in
the second half, Giants blew out. Giants blew out the
team from Philadelphia. But our lead this hour from the
Grapevine from the Grapevine mentioned Jackson Dart taking a bite
out of the Big Apple in that game, cam Skataboo.
Great name, fun game, great name, fun game. So the

(04:16):
Giants thumped the Eagles on that Thursday night game. There's
been chatter this week about what happens to Russell Wilson.
Now the noise is trade deadlines a month away, so
it's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I don't know if you saw this or not. Perhaps not.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
So we're told the Giants are still expecting some offers
from other teams to acquire mister unimitated, mister unlimited on
the auction block. All right, so let us discuss the question,
how likely or unlikely is it that we see the
Giants quarterback Russell Wilson traded to another member of the cartel.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
So I have tenderloin rent free and poles therapy.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
And we'll combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make the Gabba ghul for Tilio.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
We're gonna make the Gabba ghoul is what we're going
to do.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
So to kick off, this is a tough nut to
crack because Russell Wilson has been if you, if I
check my notes, you I believe he's been radioactive for four.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Years now, is that right? Four years? He's been radioactive russ.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
So that being said, I'm still going to give it
a ten percent chance Malarod's ten percent chance, ten percent
chance to the Giants trade Russell Wilson.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Why it is the beauty, It really is.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
The beauty of the NFL's quarterback economy. It's a flea market,
and boy does this guy have fleas. It's a seller's market.
If you can walk and throw a spiral and chew
gum at the same time.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Heck, even if you can't chew.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Gum and you only throw a spiral part of the time,
you've still got value.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
You have value.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
You know that's true, and I know that's true. It's
like trying to buy eggs during a shortage. You know
what a few years ago during the pandemic that everyone
was trying to buy toilet paper, water and eggs to
supply right if you look at the spy, the supply
is garbage, but people still would pay because they wanted eggs,
so they were pay There.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Is a supply chain, shortage of quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
There just is Russell Wilson who's living on the wrong
side of the tracks right now. Thursday night was a
textbook example. I don't know if you saw the game
or not. If you're up early and you went to
bed at a normal time and you're just one of
the people that joins us this hour because you're getting
up early to beat the traffic, you probably didn't see
the game. So Jackson Dart got knocked. His eyeballs got

(06:41):
knocked a little goofy. He got a lot of concussion,
so he had to run into the injury den, which
means he had.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
To come out of the game.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Jackson Dart the quarterback of the Giants. So Russell Wilson
does the walk of shame and he goes out to
play quarterback. And this was a textbook example of bad ross.
So Dart is getting checked out by a independent wink
wink nod nod doctor for a concussion. In the injury tent,
Russell Wilson came in. He threw only one pass, the

(07:11):
only pass of.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
The night, and uh yeah, it.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Was a bounce pass in the dirt, And so the
fans serenaded Russell Wilson boooo.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Just like that as he ran off the field.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Uh. And he is in the Tenderloin district of NFL quarterbacks. However,
his neighbor is Joe Flacco, who also blows and was
just traded to Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
So I'm saying there's a chance.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
I'm saying there's a chance ten percent if Flacco can
get moved. There is a world where Russ gets flipped
for some seventh, sixth round flip of the flip draft,
swap picks on whatever you wanna call it. And they
might even throw in a couple of milk bone dog
biscuits as a gift.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
It's all.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
It all depends on snap crackle pop. That's what depends
on someone. If like Jordan Love got hurt or Jared
Goff or someone along those lines.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Teams panic, They're like, we go to get a veteran quarterback.
We need somebody in here. And so then who are
you gonna call Ring Ring Ring?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I call the giants man, get them and we'll give
him a boombox or something. We'll get Russell Wilson, We'll
get him in here, give him some trinkets out of
the vending machine. So he is the break glass in
case of emergency option. He's not the plan A. He's
not the plan B. You know that break glass in
case of emergency the fire extinguisher. Yeah, you didn't really

(08:46):
want to use it. My favorite fire extinguisher story. And
the statute of limitations has run out on this because
I've been at this company for so long. Management has
changed over multiple times. But in my earlier days at
Fox Sports Radio, we have a studio right on the
corner a big intersection in Los Angeles and Paulvita and
Ventura Va, famous Ventura Boulevard, right, and so there was

(09:09):
a big accident.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
This is years ago, probably goes back.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
I mean, I'm fifteen, twenty years it's massive accident, right,
cars on fire.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
People are losing their minds, right, just happened.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
So one of the people ran into the building and
the back of the building and he broke the glass
and he grabbed the fire extinguisher, and he ran out
and he put out the fire and before the fire
department could get there. And it was a very heroic act.
And he thought he would get some kind of metal
from the bosses. He thought he might get a raise
out of it. He got a letter. There was a

(09:43):
memo complaining because it costs thousands of dollars apparently to
replace the fire extinguishing.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
That's so good. They're like, oh, you know, in the future,
just the call the fire department. So good, so good.
But russ if.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Someone's oh, spurns down, well they'll take whatever's left.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Right.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
That's essentially Russell Wilson. Now, furthermore, speaking of garbage, let's
go down to Cleveland where fifth round draft picture dur
Sanders America's favorite third string quarterback.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Is he going to be the number two, number two quarterback?

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Well, at the time we're doing this show, it seems
like he's still stuck in purgatory and the.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Browns are going to keep him at number three.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
He'll be jumped by Zappi Zappi Mania former Patriot Bailey
Zappy nowhere close apparently to taking over as the brown
starting quarterback. It has been whispered in hush tones that
there is even a world where the Browns said, you
know what, this is not working out, we'll release you.
We're just gonna release Shitar Sanders. However, it sounds like

(10:53):
this is a very delicate subject for Cleveland. So we
learned recently that the Browns are said to be hesitant
at the thought of letting go of Shudar Sanders, either
via trade or release, because of what happened with their
former forever quarterback Baker Mayfield. Baker who in Cleveland was

(11:14):
the turnover maker, but in Tampa's been the touchdown maker.
So Baker Mayfield who has gone on to shine after
leaving the factory of sadness? Question, how do you interpret
this latest reporting that the Browns are worried about being
burned by Shoulder Sanders if they dump him. So Holy

(11:37):
Dick and Dayton and strip Club John. This is alphabet soup.
It's fomo meets faux.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Po is what it is.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's the fear of missing out, meaning you don't want
to miss out on Shouldar Sandersvi's good. And then faupo
is the fear of people's opinions. You're afraid of people
saying mean thing about you. They're not keeping if this
is accurate, They're not keeping Shudur Sanders around because he's good.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
They don't think he's good. They don't.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
They're keeping him around because they're afraid of the headline
if they release him, which means fire him, and he
ends up lighting the world on fire in a good
way somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Like we've seen the movie. We've all seen the movie.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
The movie's been played many times in the latest is
Baker Mayfield career Renaissance Baker Mayfield. He goes on tour.
It's a renaissance tour. And that is a deep cut.
That is a deep wound. And so now the Browns
they feel paralyzed. They're letting their exes live rent free
in their heads right, Baker Mayfield living rent free right

(12:46):
in the head there. And so it's not about performance.
It sounds like this is about optics, kind of reading
the room right, you read the room here. This is
a fool me once, Shame on you, fool me twice,
shame on me. Cleveland has been burned.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Burn burn, burn burn burt so many times, so many times.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
It's like they're walking around and they're wearing their own
fireman's turnout jacket right with the fire retardant on it,
all the fabrics and all that.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
They can't just make a football decision anymore. You can't
make a football decision.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Everything's got to run through the trauma of their past failures.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Right, They need a therapist.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
It's bizarre world, the world where logic gets stuffed into
a locker. The fifth round rookie who you don't think
can play, and you have Bailey Zappi hop skip and
jump over them. But they're terrified, the Browns, of the
possibility that he might turn into I don't know, brock
Prety two point zero somewhere else and all that. So
it's what bad franchises do. They hold on too long

(13:51):
because they're scared of looking dumb and spoiler alert, spider alert, Yeah, yeah,
this just into the Fox Sports radio newsroom.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
You already look like the village idiot. So what are
you worried about?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
So the Browns aren't worried about being wrong, they're worried
about being embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
And that's not how you win at life.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
That's not how you win in the NFL. It's just
not And that's how you end up stuck in quarterback
purgatory forever and ever ever you're in Siberia, all right,
last thing to Jerry's world we go so this, so
I thought it was interesting. So the Cowboys tied the Packers,

(14:35):
they beat up a suckbag Jets team.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
And then after that, when cornerback.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Travaon Diggs publicly called out the Cowboy coaching staff, he
questioned the defensive scheme of Matt Eberflus, the coordinator, he
would like them to run more man coverage over his
own and so not to get too hard.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Oh football guy on you.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
But the reason this is interesting is because Brian Schottenheimer
in now so did Matt Eberflus. But Schottenneimer's the puppet
coach of the Cowboys. Shannie said, we agreed to disagree
on some things, meaning they're not gonna listen to Travon dicks.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Question, what did you make of the office.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Drama brewing inside Jerry's world at the Cowboy headquarters. There After,
Trevon Diggs decided to go public with his critique of
the way the Cowboys play defense. Cowboys one of the
worst defensive teams in the NFL so far through five games.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
As we head into week six. So this was not subtle, right,
This was not that is.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Putting a GPS pin right on Matt Eberflu's desk. It
was a hit job with a smile. And I'd like
to quote the great LeVar Ball. Stay in your light
like you play, coaches, coach, and do not cross the streams.
Whatever you do, do not cross the streams. You can't

(16:00):
tell me he didn't know exactly what he was doing.
Trevon Diggs, Right, players talk, the media eats it up
and boom goes to the dynamite, right, the whole locker rooms.
Oh you are Trevon Diggs. You see what he said?
Oh yeah, man, Yeah, this's crazy. And now Brian Schottenheimer
is out there. He's doing couple's therapy.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Which I think it'd be better at the coaching.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
We agree to disagree, give me a bloody break, as
Ozzie Wiz would say in Australia, that's the kind of line.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
We agree to disagree.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
That you hear after a holiday argument with your in
laws you're talking politics or something.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
It is not a healthy, healthy situation.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
So when the head coach has to publicly acknowledge a
toxic disagreement, that is when you know it's real.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
It's not noise, it's not just made up. Its tension,
that's legit.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
And that is your star defensive back who believes he
is smart than the coach. And that's Dallas and based
on what we've seen from Shottenheim or he might be.
It's a it's a reality show. You got Jerry Jones
who's upstairs in the in the corner of the room
sipping Johnny Walker blue loving every second of it because

(17:15):
it's the drama.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
A rama.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
They're in the business of drama, Yeah they are, so
they're getting their drama.

If you want to be part also on X at
Ben Mahlor that's at Ben Mallor. We mentioned earlier we
had a viral moment from the Thursday NFL game where
Jackson Dart gave a high five to the referee after
Cam Scattabooz scored a touchdown. You know how the referees
put their arms in the air to signal a touchdown.
You know, need arms straight up in the area.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
You know that move.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Sure, even if you're blind, you know that move. So
Jackson dirt like gave the refel hi fi, thank you

locker room. We have the the Great Denial, which is

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Now back to it, all right, back to it. We
go exciting, exciting, Oh my god, it's so exciting. It
is kind of fun. The one of the worst.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Days in Philadelphia's sports one of the worst day, but
one of the great days.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
If I was a local talk show host in Philadelphia, my.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
God, this the greatest. Well, there's two greats in Philadelphia talk. Well,
I guess there's three, like the Philadelphia Sports but Howard Eskin,
who's no longer on. There was Tony Bruno who worked here.
He launched Fox Sports Radio back in the day.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
I love Tony.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
And Angelo Cataldi, who just retired. I got to go
on his show exactly one time. I was a guest
on the Angela Cataldi Morning show in Philadelphia. But those
guys meant they'd have a field day, and then the
new guys who are doing sports talk there also gonna
have a field day as the Within hours, the Philadelphia

(22:04):
Phillies rode the Vomit comet, and then the Philadelphia Eagles
did not show up in the second.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Half, and they really haven't played a complete game all year.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
They won all those games early, and it was a
lot of smoke and mirrors, and now you look at it,
you're like, all right, what's going on here. There's some
internal issues and there's stuff, some stuff going on with
Philadelphia now speaking of that, and it's.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Part of the teas if you tease, you gotta please.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
I was told, if you tease, you gotta please, And
I said, is that really the rule?

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yes, that's the rule. Yes, they're right. Now you have something.
I was just curious about that rule. Yeah. Yeah, I
heard that from from someone long long ago.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
So I bring this up because there it's been widely reported,
widely reported that there was a pow wow in the
Eagle hierarchy that AJ Brown met with Jalen Hertz and
Sequan Barkley about his issues with the Eagles offense that

(23:10):
he is being marginalized, and AJ Brown denied. He has
now denied, like the denial the denial a river in Philadelphia.
Apparently he's denied the meeting took place. Here's the problem.
And I don't think I'm wrong on this as I
understand it. Sequon Barkley was asked about the meeting and
he said it's unfortunate that the meeting got out. He's

(23:33):
upset that the meeting that went public. But AJ Brown
says it never happened So if that's the case, why
would Barkley be upset about a story that got out
that never happened. Who goofed? I've got to know. And
then we have an NFL coach who has apologized. It
was if you didn't see the NFL game last night,

(23:55):
it was Vaughdvillian comedy. So Jackson Dark gets knocked around, right,
he gets he has to go into that injury tent
Jackson Dark.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
So he goes over there and he's.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Doing his thing and and then everyone's freaking out.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Cam Skattabo came over to check on him.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
But Brian Dayball, the coach, probably saw his career flashing
in front of him. The only chance day Ball has
to stay as coach of the Giants is if this guy,
Jackson Dark can play and and and so he comes
over there, and uh, he gets into a rubarb with
the Giants team physician and they had they had back

(24:34):
and forth because he was get Jackson Dart back in
the game. You know, I need my guy. Have you
seen Russell Wilson. This guy is an idiot.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
He sucks.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
And so Brian day Balls apologized to the Giants physician
for his very public outburst.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
It did it look like a comedy show? It did.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Let's go to the phones. Here's the name the guy
that retired, He sold out, He went to the day shift.
