(00:23):
It's a Friday. It's a football Friday. It's a basketball Friday.
NBA games littered throughout arenas. Obviously a lot of the
talk of the gambling scandal, which is taken over sports talk.
It is also a World Series Friday. A World Series Friday.
(00:44):
Check that one out. Huh pretty good? Pretty good? Yeah,
I'm excited. Yeah, I'm I'm excited too. Hey, I'm I'm
fired up too. I mean, not as fired up as
as Jayce do is, maybe not as fired up as
others are, but I'm fired up. We have a really
(01:04):
good show. Obviously, got some picks for you. The Sunday
night game is going to be outstanding. Aaron Rodgerson and
I do I will share with you some of the
kind of sentiment in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Some things are
kind of working out in Aaron's favor that I mean
that are not his doing. And you can hear by
the things he Aaron is saying that he's either reached
(01:27):
a place of peace with the Green Bay Packers or
he's trying this is a peace offering. So we'll get
you prepped for that. Aaron Glenn, we still don't know
about who his quarterback is. That actually tells you who
his quarterback is. If Aaron Glenn hasn't told us whose
quarterback is, we know whose quarterback is. And we got
(01:51):
the gambler for you. We got the gambler for you.
Let me start with the World Series because there was
some news that came out a couple hours ago, which
I think is one classic baseball and two classic to
these types of phenomenal matchups. Right the teams are separated
(02:11):
by one game in terms of what they did in
the regular season. Right then, the Blue Jays win one
game more than than the Dodgers. That's why they have
home field. So these are two very close teams, and
granted regular season does not always translate to postseason, both
are teams that have spent a lot of money, the
(02:32):
Dodgers more money, but you spend five hundred million for
Vlaguero Junior and we can't say you're one of the
have nots and the haves and have nots. This is
a should be a phenomenal series, right. The Dodgers are
going to throw out a leftyed tonight who's pitched in
a World series, pitched well, was unbelievable in that World
(02:54):
Series with the with the with Tampa, and was great
in the nl CS. And the one thing that the
Blue Jays do is they eat up left hand pitching.
And the one time we saw the Dodgers bullpen have
a chance to do something special, right, that's when Blake
Snell pitched the eighth scoreless uh, basically, twenty four up,
(03:16):
twenty four down. Going back to the NLCS, the bullpen
nearly spit up all over themselves. That's where this news
And maybe I need to ask Jay stew about it.
We'll get to him in a second. Alex Vacilla is
a left handed reliever. He's the guy he sweats a lot.
He's Vessia, sorry, Alex Vesia is. He's a big sweater
(03:36):
like he's a guy that's up there as nervous as
you are watching. He looks to be more nervous when
he's uh uh when he's pitching. But he's been And again,
I'm not gonna sit here and challenge Jason Stewart. I'm
not gonna sit here and challenge Elias Sports Bureau. I
don't know everything about the Dodgers' bullpen and what's failed
(03:57):
them and why they didn't go after some of the
big name guys that we thought were available at the
trade deadline, but I can't tell you that. It appears
to me he's been maybe the guy you can most
count on so far. So we don't know why, but
(04:18):
we were told it's a deeply personal family matter and
that it was almost a condolence's type of statement put
out by the Dodgers. And it's not just that he's
going to miss the games in Toronto. They put out
their twenty six man roster and he's not on the
World Series roster, which means he can't pitch in the
World Series, which means whatever is holding him out. It's
(04:38):
not like he's going to take a couple days off,
take a personal day, and come back and pitch. He's
not pitching and I think back to when the Calves
came back against the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.
We were down three games to one. Everyone still talks
about Draymond Green getting suspended. Very few people, if anybody
(05:01):
outside of me, says, you know, Andrew Bogant went down,
didn't play in games five, six, and seven. Andrew Bogan
was the starter. He was a great screener, great passer, rebounder.
He fit the Warriors perfectly. That was a big part
of what allowed Cleveland to come back and win three
consecutive games. Nobody actually believes that because they talk about, well,
(05:24):
the fact that Kevin Durant joined that team they won
seventy three games, they weren't the same team, and Vesia
is the perfect example of that. Yes they still have
Mookie Betts, Yes they still have Shoho Tani, Yes they
still have Blakestown, They still have you know, Will Smith
(05:47):
behind the play. They still have what many people believe
to be like an all star team sort of lineup.
But how many times have we seen middle and late
relief decide not just playoff games, but world's here. It
seems like every year and the lefty that has given
them the best work so far in the postseason isn't
(06:09):
gonna pitch in the World Series. And I'm not gonna
say that's ominous or whatever, but we if we look
back at things that are just bad luck, because you
do need luck. I've never understood why people don't like
to talk about luck. We always wish people good luck
before for our little kids going to a game, Hey
good luck, you know, before the game, when you shake
(06:32):
hands in the captain's meetings, you always go, hey, man,
good luck. When you go out in the court, you'll
have fans wish you good luck. But then when you win,
no one ever goes. You know, we have some good
luck there. They just rarely do that in the bad
luck losing him, you know, and finding out and announcing it,
and I'm sure they didn't announce they knew before this,
(06:53):
but announcing it the day of first day of the
World Series, it's bad luck. But I do think that
those are the type of things that can tip series
in another team's favor. And it has nothing to do
(07:13):
with the top end stars that are at the top
of the billing. He's not the closer, he's not the starter.
He might not even be technically the setup man, like
trying to might be the setup man, but a lefty
out of the pen who's giving you the best innings
in the postseason, not being on the roster and not
being hurt, just being a deeply personal matter. Again, I
don't know what it is. So it's not like I'm
(07:34):
sitting here accusing him of faking in or having something negative. No,
I'm sure it's on the up and up. But I'm
just saying that's the type of thing that can affect
a series, and we'll look back and nobody mentions it
when you look back at World Series. This business fluctuations
make running your manufacturing business complex, but staffing your business
(07:56):
doesn't have to be let Express employee professionals by the workforce.
You need to go to expresspros dot com, find location
near you that's expresspros dot com. Jay Stu, when you
saw that saw that news. As much as you've been
on the Dodgers about what they have and more importantly
to you, what they have not done to their bullpen,
how much does that affect your faith in your Dodgers
in the series.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I think it doesn't impact it. I don't think we're
gonna win the series.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
But I think you said does not. Hello, you say
it does or does not?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It does impact the series? Yep?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Does? Okay, go ahead, I'm sorry you said that. The
fact that you already think they're going to lose the series.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Correct, but I don't think I think they'll lose it worse.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I just read a piece on Alex a month ago.
This is I think he was like an eighteenth or
twentieth round pick who didn't, you know, make the roster,
and then he made the roster, and he's been on
the Dodgers the last five years. His career postseason numbers
and when you when you play for the Dodgers, you
(08:59):
pitch in the postseason and a lot are phenomenal. He's
got like a one point eighty six ERA and twenty
six appearances. He's done good this postseason. You're right, he's
like the one guy down there that we could really
depend on. Now, the last two World Series that we've won,
we've done it with our bullpen. So the difference this
(09:21):
year is that we have such limitations down there that
his presence is going to be more impactful than ever.
So I said before the postseason, the Dodgers need to
kind of reimagine how their bullpen goes because it was
so dreadful during the season, they literally just need to
(09:41):
scrap it and build back up. They put Roki Sasaki
as their closer. That's been more hits than missus. They
luckily haven't even had to pitch Tanner Scott. He hasn't
even been available. He's awful and for whatever reason, Blake
Trinin has been effective. But no, this is a big
wast answer your question, short answer, a guest, This has
(10:02):
a big impact.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Coming up on The Doug Gottlieb Show, you got to
hear the exchange Aaron Grian's most recent exchange with the reporter.
It's a it's an eye or maybe in this case,
an ear opener. It's up coming next.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
It's the Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. So Aaron
Glenn continues to dominate the New York headlines, and it's
it's about his handling of what seems to be kind
of reasonable questions. He has it named a starting quarterback
for this weekend's game. The Jets are winless. Their owner
(10:49):
Woody Johnson came out and said he completely supports the coach.
If they just had a quarterback, they get just complete
a pass. That's what he actually said. Here's a Jets
head coach Aaron Glenn this morning with the reporters when
he was asked about who will be his starting quarterback
this week if it was a game.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Today, he is limited, all right today, and he is questionable.
And I like the way those guys are trended.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
So are you able to tell us who's gonna see
I cannot tell you that. But is it because you
don't want to? Because that's exactly it Tyro's situation and questions.
Is that answer this.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Potentially That's exactly why I'm not telling you because I
don't want to.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
I understand that, but I mean, is it partly because
of the injury?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Is exactly why I'm saying it because I don't want to.
I don't know how many times I got to answer
you that it's not going to change. You do virus
the quar that's gonna be between men players.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I don't understand this, this tactic. I do understand the
not sharing personal information or in house information with the team.
I mean with reporters, like you don't have to his health,
We don't have to, but just the defiance of I
don't want to, so I'm not going to. Just so
we're aware, there is a moment in which he has
(12:15):
to name a starter, and he will name a starter.
It won't be a game time decision because it's not
really the way it's supposed to work. And at some
point he's going to get fined by the NFL because
the gamblers, the fantasy football players need to know who's starting.
It should matter nobody has. If you have either of
those two on your fantasy football team, your fantasy football
(12:35):
team is not doing well. But it can affect the
betting lines over unders and of course a lot of
other prop bets. Let's just cut to brass tacks. If
if Justin Fields was their starter, and there was no question,
he would answer it as such. It's no different than
(12:56):
if you've been dating a woman for like a year
and you're in a adult and somebody goes, hey, she
the one. You're like, yeah, maybe, then she's not right,
Then she's not. If she's the one, you're like, yeah, like, well,
are you guys gonna be remember, well, you know she's
(13:17):
still she's you know, she's getting a masters or she's
she's got her kids and we want to wait, say
timing's not right whatever, but yeah, I mean what yeah, well,
I mean we woul day in a year now like
we kind of you either know or you don't know.
And right now everyone knows that the Jets are going
to be in the quarterback market next year in the
off season, just like hey, who said that? Oh that
(13:40):
was this guy, that was this guy. It's two years
in a row where I could tell you that Russell
Wilson justin Field's would not be the starting quarterback at
the respective teams at the end of the season, and
those respective teams would be looking for another quarterback at
latest at the end of the season. Happened already with
the Giants and happening with the Jets. For forty years,

The Chagos stat line for Justin Herbert did have a

wasn't even in the conversation. Right with the Chargers start

(14:53):
It seemed like he was there. It seemed like he
was there. Cooper Rush, That's what we seem like like
just always open, always open, Cooper Cup. Did I think
the the rushes and the flags and the cups, I'm
getting my Coopers, I'm getting my Cooper's confused by er,
(15:15):
you are a uniform police. There was one notable change
to the charger, the charger navies and I did like
those evers in the charger Navy uniforms. Did you like
the number on the helmet?
Speaker 7 (15:30):
Yeah, I just thought that the outline on that helmet,
without having the numbers outlined, would have looked a lot better.
It's not as noticeable on the white helmet that the
numbers aren't outlined, but it did. I did notice it
on the Navy. So the lightning bolt has an outline
to it, but the numbers didn't. And that's what messed
(15:50):
with me a little bit.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It's Doug Gottliep Show here on Fox Portraity. Mark Dominic
joins us as he joins us every week here on
the show. Here's a guy spent his entire professional career
from scouting, working his way up the front office as
general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And look, I
know that the kid is hurt, but I think generally
most people have been underwhelmed by JJ McCarthy. And then
(16:13):
you know, Carson Wentz is a backup and now he's
the back of for a reason, playing hurt last night.
But I can't help but think Minnesota they chose poorly. Right,
you had Sam Donald, you had even before you had
Sam Donald, right, you had Uh? Why am I why
am I blanking, Oh, Kirk cousins, Kirk Cousins, and now
(16:34):
you have JJ McCarthy who can't stay healthy and isn't great.
Did they hurt themselves trying to go to the rookie
quarterback or the second year quarterback in his rookie year.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Well, I mean, obviously everything's unfortunate. I don't feel quite
as distraught over JJ McCarthy yet. I know the numbers
aren't great, and I know it's really been the one
quarter that's kind of caught people's attention. But I do
think of a guy that's only thrown just over forty
passes in the NFL in his career, there's a lot
of room for development still, and so you know, I
(17:07):
still hold out the hope or the belief that I
think JJ can be a good and starting quarterback in
the Nation Foot League and that the Vikings will will
be on the right side of history on this. I'm
going to stay on that right now, at least, Doug.
But I you know, it's it's amazing because the other
guy that you said, Carson Wentz, used to, you know,
be mister popular too, and it's just never quite found
that right home for him either. And you look at
(17:30):
this Minnesota team and although they're you know, three and four,
it'll be interesting to get JJ back next week and
see what they can do going forward, just because I
think when you look at them as a team, and
you certainly you think about the hopes of the playoffs
and what they had last year. They've got a couple
of games coming up here in Detroit and Baltimore the
next two weeks that are really going to tell us
a lot about JJ, but also tell us for the
(17:51):
season is going to end up.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I want to play for you some. This is earlier today,
So Aaron Glenn has been doing this thing about not
naming a starter to Rod Taylor, who's come back from injury.
He's got justin fields where I don't know if you
heard the sound Woody Johnson said if we could just
complete a pass right like wow, you know that's not
what you want to say about a quarterback you gave
(18:13):
two years guaranteed to. But take a listen to Aaron
Glenn earlier today. I want to get your thoughts on this.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
If it was a game today.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
He is limited all right today, and he is questionable.
And I like the way those guys are trended.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
So are you able to tell us who's gonna.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I cannot tell you that, But is.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
It because you don't want to?
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Because that's exactly its situation and question.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Isn't that answer this? Potentially?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
That's exactly why I'm not telling you because I don't
want to.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I understand that, but I mean, is it? Is it
partly because of the injury?
Speaker 5 (18:47):
It's exactly why I'm saying it because I don't want to.
I don't know how many times I got to answer
you that it's not gonna change. You do the quart
is that's gonna be between man and players.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I mean, I get that he has his owner's support
as of now. I don't understand the why to be
that way towards the New York media. Of all medias,
that you don't want to antagonize for no apparent reason
when you haven't won a game, the New York media
would be one of them. What are your thoughts though,
as a former general manager when you hear that back
and forth?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Well, I mean, I do I understand where the coach
is coming from and banged up or not? You know,
trying to figure out exactly what the answer is. I
don't blame the coach. I don't have as big a
problem with this. I do understand your zero to seven.
And the truth is nothing looks really great. I mean,
the Buys going to make the season seem even longer
after they play the Bengals this week. And so I
think the most important thing, like you said, is and
(19:45):
I think what he will stay with Aaron Glenn as
the head coach. I don't think Aaron Glenn I wouldn't
move on from him this quickly, even if a one
and done, and we sadly seen that too many times
in the National Football League. If I'm going to give
Aaron Glenn any you know, punishment, it's for Justin Fields, Doug.
You and I talked about it many times, and you know,
if you're surprised that Justin Fields isn't a great starter,
(20:09):
than shame on you. I mean that's I mean, he's
he's had opportunities, he's flashed in moments, but he's never
shown consistency to expect him to suddenly like now I'm
going to be good. And in addition, when you look
at the Jets and the revolving doors on the offensive line,
some of that's you know, Justin fields in terms of
the way he plays, But some of that's you know,
Tyro Daylor has been sacked almost ten times in less
than seventy attempts, So that offensive line is a disaster.
(20:32):
It's just I know they've got some resources dedicated to it.
I think some of those guys are coming around, but
it's it's just bad. And I know that you're throwing
a little more gas in on the fire. But I
think Aaron's probably behind the scenes gaining some traction with
the team that he thinks will be there long term.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Mark Dominic our guests here on the Doug Gottlieb Show
on Fox Sports Radio. I want to get Daron Rodgers
because he's taken on this former team and that's gonna
be a story that dominates the weekend. But I want
to ask you about Jordan Love for that the up
and down in terms of the perception of Jordan Love
right where you go back a couple of years ago
(21:10):
and you know it wasn't going to be the fifth
year option, it was going to be a little money.
Then he comes back, plays well, they give him a
gigantic extension. He's been good. But I guess my question
to you is as a guy who's evaluated that position
for a living for twenty five years, is he like
(21:32):
now we have enough to go on. What do you
think of Jordan Love and how good he actually is.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, I've been I've been on the board with Jordan
Love for a while and as we've kind of talked
to Jordan, you know, I've been a buyer and a
believer and I still am. I just I like the
way he plays the game. I like his decision making.
He's clearly playing well now. And to think of all
that with a Matthew Golden that's really not producing at
(21:58):
all in their assistant right, He's he's barely he's third
or fourth on the team and receptions and Dobbs is
the one that to really kind of stepped up a
little bit. I just I think the offensive line is
very good there. That's a big key to its same
thing I've talked about the Colts and while the culture
being successful, the offensive line. But Jordan Love as a
quarterback and competitor I'm a fan of and I know
(22:18):
that he's had a little bit of a roller coaster,
but I've stayed on the track with this one. I
just felt like once He's shown me that he can,
you know, dial in which he has been able to
do and make plays all of the field with his
arm talent, let alone just being a solid scrambler and
runner with the football. I don't see the downside in
Jordan Love. I think he's good enough to win you
a Super Bowl. I think he's that good of a quarterback.
(22:39):
And I think the surrounding cast has stepped up a
little bit in Tucker Craft. You know, I thought that
maybe Luke Musgrave would have a bigger role, but in
the running game he is. And that's why they're having
such success, you know, in the red zone and pounding
the ball in with Jeff with Jacobs.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
The Colts have the Titans this week, which you got
to feel pretty good about. Right then they got to
steal on the road. But the Steels will be coming
off a game they're going all in on, then the
Falcons at home, then a bye week. They're at six
and one. I watched them against the Chargers, and I now,
I thought they were pretty good. I thought they were
really well coached, especially obviously offensively. But I mean, like, look,
(23:17):
I look at those wins that they have this year
and with the exception of the Chargers, which is a
big win, Cardinals, eh Raiders not particularly good, Titans fired
their coach, Broncos pretty good, but it was really as
one point. And the Dolphins, who stink right stink. So
how good are the Colts in your mind?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Yeah, I think they're good, but I think it's one
of those ones where they might end up with a
two seed or a three seed. You know, when you
look at their schedule, They've got Jacksonville still twice you
talked about the Titans Atlanta, the Texans that have to
find their way. They don't see the Texans yet, so
there's more wins in here. But I think it's going
to be a two or three seed in the AFC,
(23:57):
and I think they'll be one and done. I think
they're a good football team. I think you bring up
a great point, and I think that's real is that
you know, we'll see as they play the Kansas City Chiefs,
when they play the San Francisco forty nine ers how
good they are. But they're really not going to be
heavily tested until they get to the postseason, and then
it's just a matter of, you know, where's their health
and everything and how's Jonathan Taylor doing? But I think
(24:18):
they're a good football team. I think they're deserving to
be in first place. When you put you know, almost
forty points or thirty five points a game on the board,
you deserve to be where you are in terms of
the standings. But you know, I think every Colts fan
would say, hey, look, this is much better I anticipated,
but will also have holding their breath in the postseason
going which team will show up? Is it going to
be the one that's you know, played well all season
long but has beaten, to your point, the Tennessee Titans,
(24:40):
Or is it the one that showed up and beat
the Denver Broncos. We too, I'm leaning towards you know,
they're going to make the postseason, but I don't see
a run here.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Aaron Rodgers is going to take it on his former team.
He's looked more and more comfortable as the year has
gone on. But last time we saw him with stars in
night football, he wasn't great, yelled at some of us
do defense was was awful. Uh, He's taken a different
than normal. Aaron Rodgers tacked this week of being a
fuse in his praise of his time in Green Bay
(25:10):
and saying he wants to retire at Green Bay Packer.
What do you that's that's not kind of classic a
Rod if you will, why the why the turn?
Speaker 3 (25:19):
That's good? You know. I think I think Aaron understands
that this might be the last year, like this might
be the last one, and so let's not go out
as a bully. Let's go out as as a guy
that you know, appreciates what the Packers did and and
all the opportunity you have there in the Super Bowl
Championship and all those different things. And so I think
it's a mature Rogers to do that, to be able
(25:39):
to walk and play in Lambeau and and have that
that opportunity. But I think that the when you well,
you're gonna be to actually the games at Pittsburgh excuse me,
but the chance to play and say that you want
to be a team that drafted you and and end
up in the Ring of Honor in the Hall of
Fame and go in that way, I think it's great.
And I think it just speaks that he's I think
he's maturing and understanding, and he's building bridges as he
(26:02):
sews up by what I think is going to be
his last season in the NFL regardless, and I think
it's a smart move by him.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
What happened to their past rush and it was non
existent last week?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, that was hard for me to understand because I
feel like that's been one of the keys to the
Pittsburgh Steelers all year long, has been able to get
to the quarterback, whether it's the two starters or it's
Herbic and you know, usually they find a way, but
this last week they just couldn't have an answer for
Joe Flacco and certainly Jamar Chase. And so I think
that that's I think that will change. I don't think
that's the norm for the Pittsburgh Steelers at all. I
(26:32):
think there'll be a much better team getting after the
quarterback this week than than they did before. But I
think the Steelers defense still should be especially the front seven,
the strength of that team, and I would expect, you
know that TJ. Watt will show up a lot more
in this game. And again Nick Herbig to me and
Alex high Smith. When you have those three going, they
should get home and I think.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
They will Giants to get another shot at the Eagles,
and the Giants, I mean had a commanding lead and
just split up a game last week against Denver Broncos.
But you go back a couple weeks ago and on
Thursday Night Football, they smashed the Philadelphi Eagles. How different
will this game be? Well?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
A good thing for the Eagles, I think, and just
for them to be able to walk in this game
is they have a lot more tape now. And I
think that's going to be the big thing with Jackson
DARTI is like you got to be able to start
to look for tendancies and see how can you take
advantage of it or what do you expect from him
instead of kind of being one of the first season
gets to take him on full time, and I think
that's a big deal. So I mean that's where I
think that Fangio the defensive coordinator there, with all of
(27:36):
his experience, we'll try to take advantage of that. My
big thing for Jackson Dart is that he's got to
learn how to play for the next play. I don't
think you can play with his aggressiveness and stay healthy
for an entire season. So I hope I can watch
a guy that's willing to get down, maybe understands when
to slide a little bit sooner. But I don't feel
as confident that this game is going to go the
(27:56):
same way. I have a lot more confident than what
I think Philadelphia learned that game, instead of the confidence
of Giants are starting to play with their young quarterback.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I I it's it's gonna be really interesting to see
how that evolves after people get get that film on him,
and how and and who adjusts otherwise and what are
the adjustments? Like? Are you I'm I'm of the mindset
I'm to people who thought the Brian Schottenheim or hire
(28:25):
was a bad one. They're wrong. Now their defense isn't
particularly good, okay, but they're three and three. They trade
away Micah Parsons. We knew their defense wasn't gonna be
great if they had Michael Parsons. Am I crazy saying
Jerry might have got this one right?
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Well?
Speaker 3 (28:40):
It feels from an offensive standpoint when you you got
a team here that's put forty points on the board
three times already to the season, and you know, I
think they'll have a lot of opportunities to do that again.
So from an offensive standpoint, you should be very correct.
I think you are correct. You know, it's it's tough
when you lose a game like to the Panthers, uh,
you know the way they did, But you know, that's
big win against the Commanders. That's probably the one team
(29:02):
that right now the season ended, isn't in the postseason.
You scratch your head in the NFC, go wait a second,
the Commanders aren't even in the postseason. And so I
got to give credit to Dallas that you know, the Yes,
they're at that five hundred records with the tie, and
we'll see how they play at Denver this week. You know,
it's going to be a great opportunity for them to
continue to you know, put victories on and for some reason,
you know, the Dallas Cowboys the Commanders are probably the
(29:24):
two teams the NFC that you know aren't officially in
the playoffs, but you feel like at least one of
them will. If you've already beat Washington once, you got
a chance to be that team if you can just
get you know, I think because of the bye or
the excuse me, the tie, I think if you get
the ten wins, I think the Dallas Cowboys are.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
In crazy to think considering what everybody thought would happen,
first game of the year, Egles Cowboys. Thought would be
a blowout. Thought the Cowboys be the laughing sock of
the league. They're not great, but they're definitely not the
laughing stock of the league. Mark, you're the best man.
Have a great weekend. Thanks so much for being our guest.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Hey, it's Doug Gottlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. Aaron Rodgers
takes on the Green Bay Packers. We'll get to that
top of next hour. It's a great topic, Dan Byr,
being a a child of the state of Wisconsin. I
don't know if you wouldn't say, like a Wisconsin alum,
and I mean you're a Wisconsinate by birth and by upbringing, right,
(30:33):
what would be.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
The well, yeah, I am a Wisconsin alum, but it
would also a Wisconsin native. I think when you talked about.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
That the state, Yes, Wisconsin, WISCONSINTI Wisconsin alum. We'll get
his perspective. I'll give you mine living in Green Bay,
and we'll get to that top. Before we get to that,
let's get to a game with Dan byr Dan.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
This is game time on the Doug Gottlab Show.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
All right, it's a Friday. The game today is.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
I Got DIBs.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
This was something that we actually had recently weren't able
to get to because of time constraints, but Iowa, Sam
was like, oh, I wish we would have gotten to that.
So we start off today with I Got DIBs, where
I throw out a subject and we all just jump
in and take what's ours favorite things about Canada.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
I got DIBs on Canadian comedians Dan Aykroyd, Jim Carrey,
Martin Short, John Candy, Mike Myers, Nor McDonald, Phil Hartman,
Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Canadian comedians.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I know Eugene Levy was Canadian.
Speaker 8 (31:40):
Well, a lot of them are on that se TV
show back in the eighties. A lot of that's where
John Candy started. Rick Marinas, I.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Thought it was Levy, but I may be right, Sam,
I'm not saying it.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Breaks. Yes, break.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Did you see that John Candy doc on Amazon? It's
on my cue.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I've heard it's fantastic.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
Yes, I watched it. It was very good, really good.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Okay, yes, I can watch it today. That's that's that's
not pop favorite Canadian thing.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I go, got DIBs, I got DIBs. I got this.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
Oh geez all right, who won, Jason?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
You did?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Justin Bieber. I've talked about this in the past, but
so I'll give the concise version. I am fascinated by
this guy's evolution in music as an artist. Remember, he
was a teeny bopper, played for teenage girls, made millions
of dollars doing that, and then in twenty fifteen he
came out with that album Purpose and ever since he
(32:38):
has been a desired person to do collabs and hip hop.
He is so well respected in the hip hop community.
He has some of the most streamed songs ever in
the history of hip hop. I very much admire his
art and my song is my phone is filled with
his music.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
I got DIBs on Mike Holmes. He is my favorite
construction show guy. He is a hero in Canada. I
am a big fan of any of the versions of
Mike Holmes Home Improvement programs, Homes and Homes, Uh, the
(33:21):
Homes does it right? The whole deal. Mike Holmes one
of the great Canadians out there.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Was it that home improvement or were you just speaking
about home improvement in general?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
No? No, he actually d D I Y shows.
Speaker 8 (33:38):
So it wasn't a Tim Allen till Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
Correct, it's he doesn't have a show called home improvement.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
You're just saying home improvement shows.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
Yes, correct, yes.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yes, there you go. Uh, I'm gonna go with hockey.
I'm gonna go with hockey. And I'll tell you why.
It just it's like the sec thing. It just matters
more like they have a sport that is their sport,
like it's theirs and oh yeah, by the way, kind
of quietly, they're sort of taking over basketball as well,
(34:10):
which was invented by a Canadian, like the GTA, the
Greater Toronto area. I think it's Shay Gilds Alexander's Canadian.
There's so many quality Canadian basketball players. But hockey is there,
like their sport, their thing. Very different and for one
country to embrace one big sport and to love it
so caress, it's so foster its growth. So I mean,
(34:33):
how if you like hockey, you love Canada, And if
you're a Canadian, you love hockey. It's really that simple.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
I have this group text with somebodies from college, and
they're big Kings and Ducks fans, and whenever the conversation
steers to hockey, like two weeks ago Opening Night, some
guys sent a text about the Ducks and I said,
they still have that. That tells you my thoughts on Hawker.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
No, I get it, but we're not Canadian like again,
I'm I'm talking about their their knowledge infatuation. It's like
everything all right, I do you like Philip and was
it Terrence and Phillip? Yes, Terrence and Phillip.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
We are in weekave of the NFL season, one game down,
twelve to go, as there are six teams on by guys,
NFL game you're excited about this weekend.
Speaker 8 (35:26):
I got DIBs on at Steelers.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
Sorry, Doug, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
I mean, I just I was slow on the draw.
I apologize on that one to people who are depending
upon me to get that one right. I got DIBs
on Giants Eagles. Giants smacked the Eagles last time round. Eagles,
you know, uh, since that game, they beat the Vikings,
who don't look great, and the Giants should have beaten
the Broncos. So Theron Giants are not as bad as
(35:54):
their record. The Eagles aren't as good as their record.
But now the Eagles at home have to smack back,
and we'll see they're capable of doing so.
Speaker 7 (36:02):
I got DIBs on Cowboys Broncos for a couple of reasons.
I think it's going to be a fun game. It's
the Markeye game in the late window where Carrie Rhodes
and I will be on End Zone Radio here on
Fox Sports Radio. But also the Broncos wearing their throwback uniforms.
It will look like Super Bowl twelve did when the
Broncos face the Cowboys in the Louisiana Superdome on Doug's
(36:25):
birthday in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
You know, guys, you left me with complete dog crap,
So I'm going to stay consistent on this program. I'm
the guy that says that the NFL product is not great,
and I'm going to prove it by saying that you
guys used up the three games that I want to watch.
Three games. That's it.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
The rest suck, Thank you much.
Speaker 8 (36:45):
What about Bills at Panthers fun? Why would that do
anything for Panthers are three and O at home Bills
are on two game losing streak.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
So you just read that on the internet and you
think that's going to compel me because.
Speaker 7 (36:56):
You went to a Bills game earlier this year, that
you would be feeling to tie to.
Speaker 8 (36:59):
That super fan Jason Stewart, we all know he likes
the Bills over the show.
Speaker 7 (37:03):
I was surprised Jason didn't say the Canadian view of
Niagara Falls when we were drafting Canadian things because we
both were able to cross the border.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
It's beautiful, man.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
It was a customs agent who was very reluctant to
let Dan and I into her country. So I kind
of hold that against the entire country.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
It's actually understand her perspective. She's doing God's work.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
And that's game time.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
This is game time on The Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
So we didn't do uh, don't call it a throwback
Thursday yesterday, which is one of our i think all
of our favorite parts of the show. But we are
going to throw it back to when Aaron Rodgers was
a Packer Rogers versus the Packers on Sunday, we'll discuss
next to the Doug Gottlieb Show

(00:23):
It's a Friday. It's a football Friday. It's a basketball Friday.
NBA games littered throughout arenas. Obviously a lot of the
talk of the gambling scandal, which is taken over sports talk.
It is also a World Series Friday. A World Series Friday.
(00:44):
Check that one out. Huh pretty good? Pretty good? Yeah,
I'm excited. Yeah, I'm I'm excited too. Hey, I'm I'm
fired up too. I mean, not as fired up as
as Jayce do is, maybe not as fired up as
others are, but I'm fired up. We have a really
(01:04):
good show. Obviously, got some picks for you. The Sunday
night game is going to be outstanding. Aaron Rodgerson and
I do I will share with you some of the
kind of sentiment in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Some things are
kind of working out in Aaron's favor that I mean
that are not his doing. And you can hear by
the things he Aaron is saying that he's either reached
(01:27):
a place of peace with the Green Bay Packers or
he's trying this is a peace offering. So we'll get
you prepped for that. Aaron Glenn, we still don't know
about who his quarterback is. That actually tells you who
his quarterback is. If Aaron Glenn hasn't told us whose
quarterback is, we know whose quarterback is. And we got
(01:51):
the gambler for you. We got the gambler for you.
Let me start with the World Series because there was
some news that came out a couple hours ago, which
I think is one classic baseball and two classic to
these types of phenomenal matchups. Right the teams are separated
(02:11):
by one game in terms of what they did in
the regular season. Right then, the Blue Jays win one
game more than than the Dodgers. That's why they have
home field. So these are two very close teams, and
granted regular season does not always translate to postseason, both
are teams that have spent a lot of money, the
(02:32):
Dodgers more money, but you spend five hundred million for
Vlaguero Junior and we can't say you're one of the
have nots and the haves and have nots. This is
a should be a phenomenal series, right. The Dodgers are
going to throw out a leftyed tonight who's pitched in
a World series, pitched well, was unbelievable in that World
(02:54):
Series with the with the with Tampa, and was great
in the nl CS. And the one thing that the
Blue Jays do is they eat up left hand pitching.
And the one time we saw the Dodgers bullpen have
a chance to do something special, right, that's when Blake
Snell pitched the eighth scoreless uh, basically, twenty four up,
(03:16):
twenty four down. Going back to the NLCS, the bullpen
nearly spit up all over themselves. That's where this news
And maybe I need to ask Jay stew about it.
We'll get to him in a second. Alex Vacilla is
a left handed reliever. He's the guy he sweats a lot.
He's Vessia, sorry, Alex Vesia is. He's a big sweater
(03:36):
like he's a guy that's up there as nervous as
you are watching. He looks to be more nervous when
he's uh uh when he's pitching. But he's been And again,
I'm not gonna sit here and challenge Jason Stewart. I'm
not gonna sit here and challenge Elias Sports Bureau. I
don't know everything about the Dodgers' bullpen and what's failed
(03:57):
them and why they didn't go after some of the
big name guys that we thought were available at the
trade deadline, but I can't tell you that. It appears
to me he's been maybe the guy you can most
count on so far. So we don't know why, but
(04:18):
we were told it's a deeply personal family matter and
that it was almost a condolence's type of statement put
out by the Dodgers. And it's not just that he's
going to miss the games in Toronto. They put out
their twenty six man roster and he's not on the
World Series roster, which means he can't pitch in the
World Series, which means whatever is holding him out. It's
(04:38):
not like he's going to take a couple days off,
take a personal day, and come back and pitch. He's
not pitching and I think back to when the Calves
came back against the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.
We were down three games to one. Everyone still talks
about Draymond Green getting suspended. Very few people, if anybody
(05:01):
outside of me, says, you know, Andrew Bogant went down,
didn't play in games five, six, and seven. Andrew Bogan
was the starter. He was a great screener, great passer, rebounder.
He fit the Warriors perfectly. That was a big part
of what allowed Cleveland to come back and win three
consecutive games. Nobody actually believes that because they talk about, well,
(05:24):
the fact that Kevin Durant joined that team they won
seventy three games, they weren't the same team, and Vesia
is the perfect example of that. Yes they still have
Mookie Betts, Yes they still have Shoho Tani, Yes they
still have Blakestown, They still have you know, Will Smith
(05:47):
behind the play. They still have what many people believe
to be like an all star team sort of lineup.
But how many times have we seen middle and late
relief decide not just playoff games, but world's here. It
seems like every year and the lefty that has given
them the best work so far in the postseason isn't
(06:09):
gonna pitch in the World Series. And I'm not gonna
say that's ominous or whatever, but we if we look
back at things that are just bad luck, because you
do need luck. I've never understood why people don't like
to talk about luck. We always wish people good luck
before for our little kids going to a game, Hey
good luck, you know, before the game, when you shake
(06:32):
hands in the captain's meetings, you always go, hey, man,
good luck. When you go out in the court, you'll
have fans wish you good luck. But then when you win,
no one ever goes. You know, we have some good
luck there. They just rarely do that in the bad
luck losing him, you know, and finding out and announcing it,
and I'm sure they didn't announce they knew before this,
(06:53):
but announcing it the day of first day of the
World Series, it's bad luck. But I do think that
those are the type of things that can tip series
in another team's favor. And it has nothing to do
(07:13):
with the top end stars that are at the top
of the billing. He's not the closer, he's not the starter.
He might not even be technically the setup man, like
trying to might be the setup man, but a lefty
out of the pen who's giving you the best innings
in the postseason, not being on the roster and not
being hurt, just being a deeply personal matter. Again, I
don't know what it is. So it's not like I'm
(07:34):
sitting here accusing him of faking in or having something negative. No,
I'm sure it's on the up and up. But I'm
just saying that's the type of thing that can affect
a series, and we'll look back and nobody mentions it
when you look back at World Series. This business fluctuations
make running your manufacturing business complex, but staffing your business
(07:56):
doesn't have to be let Express employee professionals by the workforce.
You need to go to expresspros dot com, find location
near you that's expresspros dot com. Jay Stu, when you
saw that saw that news. As much as you've been
on the Dodgers about what they have and more importantly
to you, what they have not done to their bullpen,
how much does that affect your faith in your Dodgers
in the series.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I think it doesn't impact it. I don't think we're
gonna win the series.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
But I think you said does not. Hello, you say
it does or does not?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It does impact the series? Yep?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Does? Okay, go ahead, I'm sorry you said that. The
fact that you already think they're going to lose the series.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Correct, but I don't think I think they'll lose it worse.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I just read a piece on Alex a month ago.
This is I think he was like an eighteenth or
twentieth round pick who didn't, you know, make the roster,
and then he made the roster, and he's been on
the Dodgers the last five years. His career postseason numbers
and when you when you play for the Dodgers, you
(08:59):
pitch in the postseason and a lot are phenomenal. He's
got like a one point eighty six ERA and twenty
six appearances. He's done good this postseason. You're right, he's
like the one guy down there that we could really
depend on. Now, the last two World Series that we've won,
we've done it with our bullpen. So the difference this
(09:21):
year is that we have such limitations down there that
his presence is going to be more impactful than ever.
So I said before the postseason, the Dodgers need to
kind of reimagine how their bullpen goes because it was
so dreadful during the season, they literally just need to
(09:41):
scrap it and build back up. They put Roki Sasaki
as their closer. That's been more hits than missus. They
luckily haven't even had to pitch Tanner Scott. He hasn't
even been available. He's awful and for whatever reason, Blake
Trinin has been effective. But no, this is a big
wast answer your question, short answer, a guest, This has
(10:02):
a big impact.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Coming up on The Doug Gottlieb Show, you got to
hear the exchange Aaron Grian's most recent exchange with the reporter.
It's a it's an eye or maybe in this case,
an ear opener. It's up coming next.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
It's the Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. So Aaron
Glenn continues to dominate the New York headlines, and it's
it's about his handling of what seems to be kind
of reasonable questions. He has it named a starting quarterback
for this weekend's game. The Jets are winless. Their owner
(10:49):
Woody Johnson came out and said he completely supports the coach.
If they just had a quarterback, they get just complete
a pass. That's what he actually said. Here's a Jets
head coach Aaron Glenn this morning with the reporters when
he was asked about who will be his starting quarterback
this week if it was a game.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Today, he is limited, all right today, and he is questionable.
And I like the way those guys are trended.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
So are you able to tell us who's gonna see
I cannot tell you that. But is it because you
don't want to? Because that's exactly it Tyro's situation and questions.
Is that answer this.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Potentially That's exactly why I'm not telling you because I
don't want to.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
I understand that, but I mean, is it partly because
of the injury?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Is exactly why I'm saying it because I don't want to.
I don't know how many times I got to answer
you that it's not going to change. You do virus
the quar that's gonna be between men players.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I don't understand this, this tactic. I do understand the
not sharing personal information or in house information with the team.
I mean with reporters, like you don't have to his health,
We don't have to, but just the defiance of I
don't want to, so I'm not going to. Just so
we're aware, there is a moment in which he has
(12:15):
to name a starter, and he will name a starter.
It won't be a game time decision because it's not
really the way it's supposed to work. And at some
point he's going to get fined by the NFL because
the gamblers, the fantasy football players need to know who's starting.
It should matter nobody has. If you have either of
those two on your fantasy football team, your fantasy football
(12:35):
team is not doing well. But it can affect the
betting lines over unders and of course a lot of
other prop bets. Let's just cut to brass tacks. If
if Justin Fields was their starter, and there was no question,
he would answer it as such. It's no different than
(12:56):
if you've been dating a woman for like a year
and you're in a adult and somebody goes, hey, she
the one. You're like, yeah, maybe, then she's not right,
Then she's not. If she's the one, you're like, yeah, like, well,
are you guys gonna be remember, well, you know she's
(13:17):
still she's you know, she's getting a masters or she's
she's got her kids and we want to wait, say
timing's not right whatever, but yeah, I mean what yeah, well,
I mean we woul day in a year now like
we kind of you either know or you don't know.
And right now everyone knows that the Jets are going
to be in the quarterback market next year in the
off season, just like hey, who said that? Oh that
(13:40):
was this guy, that was this guy. It's two years
in a row where I could tell you that Russell
Wilson justin Field's would not be the starting quarterback at
the respective teams at the end of the season, and
those respective teams would be looking for another quarterback at
latest at the end of the season. Happened already with
the Giants and happening with the Jets. For forty years,

was there. Cooper Rush, That's what we seem like like
just always open, always open, Cooper Cup. Did I think
the the rushes and the flags and the cups, I'm
getting my Coopers, I'm getting my Cooper's confused by er,
(15:15):
you are a uniform police. There was one notable change
to the charger, the charger navies and I did like
those evers in the charger Navy uniforms. Did you like
the number on the helmet?
Speaker 7 (15:30):
Yeah, I just thought that the outline on that helmet,
without having the numbers outlined, would have looked a lot better.
It's not as noticeable on the white helmet that the
numbers aren't outlined, but it did. I did notice it
on the Navy. So the lightning bolt has an outline
to it, but the numbers didn't. And that's what messed
(15:50):
with me a little bit.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It's Doug Gottliep Show here on Fox Portraity. Mark Dominic
joins us as he joins us every week here on
the show. Here's a guy spent his entire professional career
from scouting, working his way up the front office as
general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And look, I
know that the kid is hurt, but I think generally
most people have been underwhelmed by JJ McCarthy. And then
(16:13):
you know, Carson Wentz is a backup and now he's
the back of for a reason, playing hurt last night.
But I can't help but think Minnesota they chose poorly. Right,
you had Sam Donald, you had even before you had
Sam Donald, right, you had Uh? Why am I why
am I blanking, Oh, Kirk cousins, Kirk Cousins, and now
(16:34):
you have JJ McCarthy who can't stay healthy and isn't great.
Did they hurt themselves trying to go to the rookie
quarterback or the second year quarterback in his rookie year.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Well, I mean, obviously everything's unfortunate. I don't feel quite
as distraught over JJ McCarthy yet. I know the numbers
aren't great, and I know it's really been the one
quarter that's kind of caught people's attention. But I do
think of a guy that's only thrown just over forty
passes in the NFL in his career, there's a lot
of room for development still, and so you know, I
(17:07):
still hold out the hope or the belief that I
think JJ can be a good and starting quarterback in
the Nation Foot League and that the Vikings will will
be on the right side of history on this. I'm
going to stay on that right now, at least, Doug.
But I you know, it's it's amazing because the other
guy that you said, Carson Wentz, used to, you know,
be mister popular too, and it's just never quite found
that right home for him either. And you look at
(17:30):
this Minnesota team and although they're you know, three and four,
it'll be interesting to get JJ back next week and
see what they can do going forward, just because I
think when you look at them as a team, and
you certainly you think about the hopes of the playoffs
and what they had last year. They've got a couple
of games coming up here in Detroit and Baltimore the
next two weeks that are really going to tell us
a lot about JJ, but also tell us for the
(17:51):
season is going to end up.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I want to play for you some. This is earlier today,
So Aaron Glenn has been doing this thing about not
naming a starter to Rod Taylor, who's come back from injury.
He's got justin fields where I don't know if you
heard the sound Woody Johnson said if we could just
complete a pass right like wow, you know that's not
what you want to say about a quarterback you gave
(18:13):
two years guaranteed to. But take a listen to Aaron
Glenn earlier today. I want to get your thoughts on this.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
If it was a game today.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
He is limited all right today, and he is questionable.
And I like the way those guys are trended.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
So are you able to tell us who's gonna.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I cannot tell you that, But is.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
It because you don't want to?
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Because that's exactly its situation and question.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Isn't that answer this? Potentially?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
That's exactly why I'm not telling you because I don't
want to.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I understand that, but I mean, is it? Is it
partly because of the injury?
Speaker 5 (18:47):
It's exactly why I'm saying it because I don't want to.
I don't know how many times I got to answer
you that it's not gonna change. You do the quart
is that's gonna be between man and players.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I mean, I get that he has his owner's support
as of now. I don't understand the why to be
that way towards the New York media. Of all medias,
that you don't want to antagonize for no apparent reason
when you haven't won a game, the New York media
would be one of them. What are your thoughts though,
as a former general manager when you hear that back
and forth?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Well, I mean, I do I understand where the coach
is coming from and banged up or not? You know,
trying to figure out exactly what the answer is. I
don't blame the coach. I don't have as big a
problem with this. I do understand your zero to seven.
And the truth is nothing looks really great. I mean,
the Buys going to make the season seem even longer
after they play the Bengals this week. And so I
think the most important thing, like you said, is and
(19:45):
I think what he will stay with Aaron Glenn as
the head coach. I don't think Aaron Glenn I wouldn't
move on from him this quickly, even if a one
and done, and we sadly seen that too many times
in the National Football League. If I'm going to give
Aaron Glenn any you know, punishment, it's for Justin Fields, Doug.
You and I talked about it many times, and you know,
if you're surprised that Justin Fields isn't a great starter,
(20:09):
than shame on you. I mean that's I mean, he's
he's had opportunities, he's flashed in moments, but he's never
shown consistency to expect him to suddenly like now I'm
going to be good. And in addition, when you look
at the Jets and the revolving doors on the offensive line,
some of that's you know, Justin fields in terms of
the way he plays, But some of that's you know,
Tyro Daylor has been sacked almost ten times in less
than seventy attempts, So that offensive line is a disaster.
(20:32):
It's just I know they've got some resources dedicated to it.
I think some of those guys are coming around, but
it's it's just bad. And I know that you're throwing
a little more gas in on the fire. But I
think Aaron's probably behind the scenes gaining some traction with
the team that he thinks will be there long term.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Mark Dominic our guests here on the Doug Gottlieb Show
on Fox Sports Radio. I want to get Daron Rodgers
because he's taken on this former team and that's gonna
be a story that dominates the weekend. But I want
to ask you about Jordan Love for that the up
and down in terms of the perception of Jordan Love
right where you go back a couple of years ago
(21:10):
and you know it wasn't going to be the fifth
year option, it was going to be a little money.
Then he comes back, plays well, they give him a
gigantic extension. He's been good. But I guess my question
to you is as a guy who's evaluated that position
for a living for twenty five years, is he like
(21:32):
now we have enough to go on. What do you
think of Jordan Love and how good he actually is.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, I've been I've been on the board with Jordan
Love for a while and as we've kind of talked
to Jordan, you know, I've been a buyer and a
believer and I still am. I just I like the
way he plays the game. I like his decision making.
He's clearly playing well now. And to think of all
that with a Matthew Golden that's really not producing at
(21:58):
all in their assistant right, He's he's barely he's third
or fourth on the team and receptions and Dobbs is
the one that to really kind of stepped up a
little bit. I just I think the offensive line is
very good there. That's a big key to its same
thing I've talked about the Colts and while the culture
being successful, the offensive line. But Jordan Love as a
quarterback and competitor I'm a fan of and I know
(22:18):
that he's had a little bit of a roller coaster,
but I've stayed on the track with this one. I
just felt like once He's shown me that he can,
you know, dial in which he has been able to
do and make plays all of the field with his
arm talent, let alone just being a solid scrambler and
runner with the football. I don't see the downside in
Jordan Love. I think he's good enough to win you
a Super Bowl. I think he's that good of a quarterback.
(22:39):
And I think the surrounding cast has stepped up a
little bit in Tucker Craft. You know, I thought that
maybe Luke Musgrave would have a bigger role, but in
the running game he is. And that's why they're having
such success, you know, in the red zone and pounding
the ball in with Jeff with Jacobs.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
The Colts have the Titans this week, which you got
to feel pretty good about. Right then they got to
steal on the road. But the Steels will be coming
off a game they're going all in on, then the
Falcons at home, then a bye week. They're at six
and one. I watched them against the Chargers, and I now,
I thought they were pretty good. I thought they were
really well coached, especially obviously offensively. But I mean, like, look,
(23:17):
I look at those wins that they have this year
and with the exception of the Chargers, which is a
big win, Cardinals, eh Raiders not particularly good, Titans fired
their coach, Broncos pretty good, but it was really as
one point. And the Dolphins, who stink right stink. So
how good are the Colts in your mind?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Yeah, I think they're good, but I think it's one
of those ones where they might end up with a
two seed or a three seed. You know, when you
look at their schedule, They've got Jacksonville still twice you
talked about the Titans Atlanta, the Texans that have to
find their way. They don't see the Texans yet, so
there's more wins in here. But I think it's going
to be a two or three seed in the AFC,
(23:57):
and I think they'll be one and done. I think
they're a good football team. I think you bring up
a great point, and I think that's real is that
you know, we'll see as they play the Kansas City Chiefs,
when they play the San Francisco forty nine ers how
good they are. But they're really not going to be
heavily tested until they get to the postseason, and then
it's just a matter of, you know, where's their health
and everything and how's Jonathan Taylor doing? But I think
(24:18):
they're a good football team. I think they're deserving to
be in first place. When you put you know, almost
forty points or thirty five points a game on the board,
you deserve to be where you are in terms of
the standings. But you know, I think every Colts fan
would say, hey, look, this is much better I anticipated,
but will also have holding their breath in the postseason
going which team will show up? Is it going to
be the one that's you know, played well all season
long but has beaten, to your point, the Tennessee Titans,
(24:40):
Or is it the one that showed up and beat
the Denver Broncos. We too, I'm leaning towards you know,
they're going to make the postseason, but I don't see
a run here.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Aaron Rodgers is going to take it on his former team.
He's looked more and more comfortable as the year has
gone on. But last time we saw him with stars in
night football, he wasn't great, yelled at some of us
do defense was was awful. Uh, He's taken a different
than normal. Aaron Rodgers tacked this week of being a
fuse in his praise of his time in Green Bay
(25:10):
and saying he wants to retire at Green Bay Packer.
What do you that's that's not kind of classic a
Rod if you will, why the why the turn?
Speaker 3 (25:19):
That's good? You know. I think I think Aaron understands
that this might be the last year, like this might
be the last one, and so let's not go out
as a bully. Let's go out as as a guy
that you know, appreciates what the Packers did and and
all the opportunity you have there in the Super Bowl
Championship and all those different things. And so I think
it's a mature Rogers to do that, to be able
(25:39):
to walk and play in Lambeau and and have that
that opportunity. But I think that the when you well,
you're gonna be to actually the games at Pittsburgh excuse me,
but the chance to play and say that you want
to be a team that drafted you and and end
up in the Ring of Honor in the Hall of
Fame and go in that way, I think it's great.
And I think it just speaks that he's I think
he's maturing and understanding, and he's building bridges as he
(26:02):
sews up by what I think is going to be
his last season in the NFL regardless, and I think
it's a smart move by him.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
What happened to their past rush and it was non
existent last week?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, that was hard for me to understand because I
feel like that's been one of the keys to the
Pittsburgh Steelers all year long, has been able to get
to the quarterback, whether it's the two starters or it's
Herbic and you know, usually they find a way, but
this last week they just couldn't have an answer for
Joe Flacco and certainly Jamar Chase. And so I think
that that's I think that will change. I don't think
that's the norm for the Pittsburgh Steelers at all. I
(26:32):
think there'll be a much better team getting after the
quarterback this week than than they did before. But I
think the Steelers defense still should be especially the front seven,
the strength of that team, and I would expect, you
know that TJ. Watt will show up a lot more
in this game. And again Nick Herbig to me and
Alex high Smith. When you have those three going, they
should get home and I think.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
They will Giants to get another shot at the Eagles,
and the Giants, I mean had a commanding lead and
just split up a game last week against Denver Broncos.
But you go back a couple weeks ago and on
Thursday Night Football, they smashed the Philadelphi Eagles. How different
will this game be? Well?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
A good thing for the Eagles, I think, and just
for them to be able to walk in this game
is they have a lot more tape now. And I
think that's going to be the big thing with Jackson
DARTI is like you got to be able to start
to look for tendancies and see how can you take
advantage of it or what do you expect from him
instead of kind of being one of the first season
gets to take him on full time, and I think
that's a big deal. So I mean that's where I
think that Fangio the defensive coordinator there, with all of
(27:36):
his experience, we'll try to take advantage of that. My
big thing for Jackson Dart is that he's got to
learn how to play for the next play. I don't
think you can play with his aggressiveness and stay healthy
for an entire season. So I hope I can watch
a guy that's willing to get down, maybe understands when
to slide a little bit sooner. But I don't feel
as confident that this game is going to go the
(27:56):
same way. I have a lot more confident than what
I think Philadelphia learned that game, instead of the confidence
of Giants are starting to play with their young quarterback.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I I it's it's gonna be really interesting to see
how that evolves after people get get that film on him,
and how and and who adjusts otherwise and what are
the adjustments? Like? Are you I'm I'm of the mindset
I'm to people who thought the Brian Schottenheim or hire
(28:25):
was a bad one. They're wrong. Now their defense isn't
particularly good, okay, but they're three and three. They trade
away Micah Parsons. We knew their defense wasn't gonna be
great if they had Michael Parsons. Am I crazy saying
Jerry might have got this one right?
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Well?
Speaker 3 (28:40):
It feels from an offensive standpoint when you you got
a team here that's put forty points on the board
three times already to the season, and you know, I
think they'll have a lot of opportunities to do that again.
So from an offensive standpoint, you should be very correct.
I think you are correct. You know, it's it's tough
when you lose a game like to the Panthers, uh,
you know the way they did, But you know, that's
big win against the Commanders. That's probably the one team
(29:02):
that right now the season ended, isn't in the postseason.
You scratch your head in the NFC, go wait a second,
the Commanders aren't even in the postseason. And so I
got to give credit to Dallas that you know, the Yes,
they're at that five hundred records with the tie, and
we'll see how they play at Denver this week. You know,
it's going to be a great opportunity for them to
continue to you know, put victories on and for some reason,
you know, the Dallas Cowboys the Commanders are probably the
(29:24):
two teams the NFC that you know aren't officially in
the playoffs, but you feel like at least one of
them will. If you've already beat Washington once, you got
a chance to be that team if you can just
get you know, I think because of the bye or
the excuse me, the tie, I think if you get
the ten wins, I think the Dallas Cowboys are.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
In crazy to think considering what everybody thought would happen,
first game of the year, Egles Cowboys. Thought would be
a blowout. Thought the Cowboys be the laughing sock of
the league. They're not great, but they're definitely not the
laughing stock of the league. Mark, you're the best man.
Have a great weekend. Thanks so much for being our guest.

Hey, it's Doug Gottlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. Aaron Rodgers
takes on the Green Bay Packers. We'll get to that
top of next hour. It's a great topic, Dan Byr,
being a a child of the state of Wisconsin. I
don't know if you wouldn't say, like a Wisconsin alum,
and I mean you're a Wisconsinate by birth and by upbringing, right,
(30:33):
what would be.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
The well, yeah, I am a Wisconsin alum, but it
would also a Wisconsin native. I think when you talked about.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
That the state, Yes, Wisconsin, WISCONSINTI Wisconsin alum. We'll get
his perspective. I'll give you mine living in Green Bay,
and we'll get to that top. Before we get to that,
let's get to a game with Dan byr Dan.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
This is game time on the Doug Gottlab Show.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
All right, it's a Friday. The game today is.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
I Got DIBs.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
This was something that we actually had recently weren't able
to get to because of time constraints, but Iowa, Sam
was like, oh, I wish we would have gotten to that.
So we start off today with I Got DIBs, where
I throw out a subject and we all just jump
in and take what's ours favorite things about Canada.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
I got DIBs on Canadian comedians Dan Aykroyd, Jim Carrey,
Martin Short, John Candy, Mike Myers, Nor McDonald, Phil Hartman,
Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Canadian comedians.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I know Eugene Levy was Canadian.
Speaker 8 (31:40):
Well, a lot of them are on that se TV
show back in the eighties. A lot of that's where
John Candy started. Rick Marinas, I.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Thought it was Levy, but I may be right, Sam,
I'm not saying it.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Breaks. Yes, break.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Did you see that John Candy doc on Amazon? It's
on my cue.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I've heard it's fantastic.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
Yes, I watched it. It was very good, really good.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Okay, yes, I can watch it today. That's that's that's
not pop favorite Canadian thing.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I go, got DIBs, I got DIBs. I got this.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
Oh geez all right, who won, Jason?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
You did?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Justin Bieber. I've talked about this in the past, but
so I'll give the concise version. I am fascinated by
this guy's evolution in music as an artist. Remember, he
was a teeny bopper, played for teenage girls, made millions
of dollars doing that, and then in twenty fifteen he
came out with that album Purpose and ever since he
(32:38):
has been a desired person to do collabs and hip hop.
He is so well respected in the hip hop community.
He has some of the most streamed songs ever in
the history of hip hop. I very much admire his
art and my song is my phone is filled with
his music.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
I got DIBs on Mike Holmes. He is my favorite
construction show guy. He is a hero in Canada. I
am a big fan of any of the versions of
Mike Holmes Home Improvement programs, Homes and Homes, Uh, the
(33:21):
Homes does it right? The whole deal. Mike Holmes one
of the great Canadians out there.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Was it that home improvement or were you just speaking
about home improvement in general?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
No? No, he actually d D I Y shows.
Speaker 8 (33:38):
So it wasn't a Tim Allen till Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
Correct, it's he doesn't have a show called home improvement.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
You're just saying home improvement shows.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
Yes, correct, yes.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yes, there you go. Uh, I'm gonna go with hockey.
I'm gonna go with hockey. And I'll tell you why.
It just it's like the sec thing. It just matters
more like they have a sport that is their sport,
like it's theirs and oh yeah, by the way, kind
of quietly, they're sort of taking over basketball as well,
(34:10):
which was invented by a Canadian, like the GTA, the
Greater Toronto area. I think it's Shay Gilds Alexander's Canadian.
There's so many quality Canadian basketball players. But hockey is there,
like their sport, their thing. Very different and for one
country to embrace one big sport and to love it
so caress, it's so foster its growth. So I mean,
(34:33):
how if you like hockey, you love Canada, And if
you're a Canadian, you love hockey. It's really that simple.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
I have this group text with somebodies from college, and
they're big Kings and Ducks fans, and whenever the conversation
steers to hockey, like two weeks ago Opening Night, some
guys sent a text about the Ducks and I said,
they still have that. That tells you my thoughts on Hawker.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
No, I get it, but we're not Canadian like again,
I'm I'm talking about their their knowledge infatuation. It's like
everything all right, I do you like Philip and was
it Terrence and Phillip? Yes, Terrence and Phillip.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
We are in weekave of the NFL season, one game down,
twelve to go, as there are six teams on by guys,
NFL game you're excited about this weekend.
Speaker 8 (35:26):
I got DIBs on at Steelers.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
Sorry, Doug, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
I mean, I just I was slow on the draw.
I apologize on that one to people who are depending
upon me to get that one right. I got DIBs
on Giants Eagles. Giants smacked the Eagles last time round. Eagles,
you know, uh, since that game, they beat the Vikings,
who don't look great, and the Giants should have beaten
the Broncos. So Theron Giants are not as bad as
(35:54):
their record. The Eagles aren't as good as their record.
But now the Eagles at home have to smack back,
and we'll see they're capable of doing so.
Speaker 7 (36:02):
I got DIBs on Cowboys Broncos for a couple of reasons.
I think it's going to be a fun game. It's
the Markeye game in the late window where Carrie Rhodes
and I will be on End Zone Radio here on
Fox Sports Radio. But also the Broncos wearing their throwback uniforms.
It will look like Super Bowl twelve did when the
Broncos face the Cowboys in the Louisiana Superdome on Doug's
(36:25):
birthday in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
You know, guys, you left me with complete dog crap,
So I'm going to stay consistent on this program. I'm
the guy that says that the NFL product is not great,
and I'm going to prove it by saying that you
guys used up the three games that I want to watch.
Three games. That's it.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
The rest suck, Thank you much.
Speaker 8 (36:45):
What about Bills at Panthers fun? Why would that do
anything for Panthers are three and O at home Bills
are on two game losing streak.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
So you just read that on the internet and you
think that's going to compel me because.
Speaker 7 (36:56):
You went to a Bills game earlier this year, that
you would be feeling to tie to.
Speaker 8 (36:59):
That super fan Jason Stewart, we all know he likes
the Bills over the show.
Speaker 7 (37:03):
I was surprised Jason didn't say the Canadian view of
Niagara Falls when we were drafting Canadian things because we
both were able to cross the border.
