Doug talks about how the USC-Colorado game will not be very competitive on the field, but that the real spectacle will be who is at the game watching.  Doug weighs in on Zach Wilson and how his comments about Joe Namath are the right things to say, but now he needs to deliver on the field. Former Bucs' GM Mark Dominik joins Doug to talk about the Lions, the Bears, and all of the other major headlines around the NFL. Plus, Dan Beyer takes Doug through a game of "Psychic".

get to this, We get to this place where things

(00:46):
have jumped the shark. I even think the expression jumped
the shark jumped the shark for a long time, but
now it's super appropriate. Jumping the shark is a well, look,
I know what it's from. Let me just ask Jay
Stew you know what jumping The term jumping the shark
is from corarect Okay, Dan byer Do you know it

(01:09):
where jumping the shark comes from.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yes, okay, Ramos.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
That's that's affirmative.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Okay, so we all know. And maybe that shows our age,
doesn't it. I think it shows our age.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
I think each of us actually saw the episode when
it aired.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I don't remember seeing the episode when it aired.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Oh okay, I do not. He did, Yeah, I think
John and I did. How about you and dan Or
might be a lot too young.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I don't know. I was too young.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Like we used to watch Happy Days, so Happy Days
and like this is a weird one, right, Like Ron Howard,
who's a famous filmmaker, was the star of a show
called Happy Days, which you may show if you watch
TV land you may see it on right. The most
famous was Arthur Fauns really the Funds a right, but

(01:54):
the Jumping the Shark episode was when he was the
Fauns was water skiing and literally jumped a shark, right,
which of course was on the you know on the
Universal set where they have the shark gauze. Right, it's
kind of painfully obvious. The shark didn't look real, the
jump didn't look real, and it got to the point

(02:15):
to where they had obviously run out of storylines and
the show was effectively over in regards to being kind
of hip, cool.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Or any have any sort of relevance. Is that? Am
I missing anything? Guys?

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Uh, you forgot the fact that Fonsio was wearing a
leather jacket.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
He's wearing a leather jacket while jumping the.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Shark and it aired in nineteen seventy seven, so I
think it totally missed you. And down right yeah, I was.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Born in seventy six, born in seventy six, But I mean,
you know that show had reared and I did grow
up with cable.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I was We're not a rich kid.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
But you tell people you grew up with cable, like
whoa Like when I went to California in eighty one,
we had cable, and Cable had Nickelodeon, and Nickelodeon had
repeats of you know, before they had nick at night,
they would have repeats of Happy Days on and I
think maybe it was on TBS some as well, or WGN,

(03:11):
probably WGN, which that's how everybody knew. The Cubs they
were bad, and the braves also bad.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Not so much now.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
But the amazing part about the Jumping the Shark is
I think the expression still holds and people still use it,
despite the fact that I would say a high percentage
of people who use jumping the shark have no idea
what jumping the shark is actually known to. Nonetheless, I

(03:42):
feel like the Colorado thing is sort of jumped the shark,
and it has to jump the shark because they're not
eventually going to be very good, because I actually believe
what Dion says, like if Shador stays, they're going to
get more already transfers, they're going to get a higher
level of player. And you know, I don't think. I

(04:06):
think there's a world there where the Big Twelve isn't
as good as the schedule they have played. Now they
haven't played the meat of the Pac twelve yet, but
they start this weekend, or started last weekend, start this
weekend right this But I don't think the Big twelve
next year and I don't know because so much changes.
But Oregon has a fifth year starting quarterback who started
his career in the SEC USC this weekend will have

(04:28):
the number one pick in the draft. Michael Pennix, who
they'll play later on the year, is very likely a
first round draft pick, although he's older as a transfer
quarterback like Washington, Oregon USC to a lestric extent, Ucla, Utah,
like these are.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Big time programs.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
And again, I know Utah is going to the Big
twelve along with Colorado, but look around the Big twelve,
and as much as I'm a Big twelve wonk, if
we're honest, you know, the best teams in the Big
twelve aren't gonna be in the Big twelve next year.
There's a world where Colorado is one of the favorites
to win the Big twelve next year. A lot has

(05:06):
to go right, but there's a world like that. So
when I say it's Chef the Shark, you're like, oh,
that means you think Colorado football is gonna stink.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
That's not what I said.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
It's more the story, the people who are jumping onto
this bandwagon.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
This you know how it works. I do think it's ironic.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's like you get people who don't follow college football
who talk about, how, you know, dramatic the changes. We
haven't seen this in college football. When across the field
you look at Lincoln Riley and just last year he
took a down trodden USC program. Granted it's USC, not
not Colorado, had been bad for a long period, but

(05:46):
pretty much long period of time, never really been a
dominant program since the early nineties.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
But the fact is that USC was bad.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
USC hires a dynamic head coach, takes him from another program,
brings his quarterback with him, and USC was awesome last
year and this year they're one of the favorites to
reach the College Football Playoff. So we have seen it.
A guy flip a program and do it with a
transfer quarterback. And it happened on the other side of
the field where I think it's jumped. The shark is

(06:17):
in the people just wanting to show up to a game.
There's Boulder is amazing. It's beautiful, it's pristine, it's very earthy.
You can go on hikes, of course, you can ski,
there's good bars like but it's and a good portion
of their student body is from California, right who want

(06:41):
to get away to somewhere different to go to school,
but they go to Boulder and it's a lot like
I remember this when I first moved to Orange County.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
This is years ago.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
My kids were little, first time I moved out to
Orange County, and you know, during I want to say
February break, they have what's called Ski Week, And if
you were going to go to Mammoth you would see
half the families that you that you you know, lived
around in Orange County. And if you went to Hawaii,
went to Hawaii one February, there's everybody else. And that's

(07:13):
basically what Colorado is. Colorado is a bunch of people
from California pretending that they're, you know, all of a
sudden now going to be hikers and very earthy and
live off the land. But this is the ultimate game
of Hangars honors. Please try and get me in a
camera shot fox sort of game.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Like the entire Colorado thing.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
And granted, Boulder much more off the beaten path than
La and in the coliseum where you could just go like, well,
you know.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
It's in LA.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
I want to see a college football game, so I
popped it. But you got Will Ferrell, you got Snoop Dog,
you got the SC guys who have been clinging to
this SC you know, SC fandom, and Will Ferrell went there,
I believe, but Snoop did not. But of course, you
know Stoops, what you're seeing, Lil Wayne do snip Stoop

(08:04):
has done for years and then of course Colorado's bringing
out these people.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I mean, how would you I think.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Jay s dou you had a different way of looking
at it, or maybe a more terse way of looking
at it, right, trying to think how we how we
described that on radio.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
No.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
I just think it's going to be a stadium filled
with d bags tomorrow that have the money to afford
to be there, and they're going to be there to
be seen. It'll be like the La Forum Mountain Mountain time.
I don't know where I was going to that, Yeah,
just go to be seen, not necessarily taking at least.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
What is at the Forum or now it's at Staples.
You know, maybe now at Staples is the you know,
regular season NBA Christmas Day game, Right, that doesn't mean anything.
I mean, this wouldn't mean something the USC they can't lose,
but the likelihood I'm losing the game is not great.
They're three touchdown plus favorites and Colorado's all banged up. Yeah,

(09:03):
it's a game that's not accepted to be close, but
it's gonna be a who's who of Hey man, can
I get in this camera shot? I guess that you
love going to games as I do If somebody say, hey,
I'm gonna give you the weekend off and give you
this ticket, or you can spend it at home with
your family, would you do it?

Speaker 3 (09:25):
I would.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
I would probably go. I still think that it is
worth saying. There are certain regrets that I that I
have in my life. You know, I've never been to
a Seahawks home game despite being a fan, and I'm
regretting that I never saw Russell Wilson quarterbacked or a
legion of Boom game there. Like, even if I wanted

(09:48):
to go, you know, at some point this season, it's
still a different feel and I feel like going to
a Colorado game while there is still juice with Colorado
and this Dion start would be a story that you
would tell. No, maybe at the end is you you
know are saying that it is. But I still would
want to go to get that last shot because I

(10:10):
just don't know how much juice is left in that orange.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
And you know last year you're gonna get to see
Kayleb Williams Yeah in college, get a college game. Yeah,
and he makes him wow plays Jase. Do any chance
you would go to this game?

Speaker 3 (10:26):
It will take a lot. I'm not as enthusiastic about
being at games as you guys are. But no, if
it was free and I somehow got to fly in
and out, I think there's gonna be a lot of
those people too at the game, by the way, to
go there to see who's there, as opposed to kind
of go to go to see the game. And you

(10:47):
brought up Lil Wayne. By the way, will Wayne made
it into our segment I think it was two weeks
ago about people that are overexposed that have kind of
over overplayed their hand. And guess who ran out the
pack was last night?

Speaker 1 (11:02):
He was he wrapped at the Raiders game on Sunday
night and then he ran out with the Packers. Now
he has been a Packers fan. He does own uh,
as you guys know. I went and I was in
Green Bay and last March, and they have this cool
area across the street from the stadium called Title Town
and they have these like brand new, I think, like

(11:23):
million dollar town homes. And I was told that Lil
Wayne does own one that like he is a hardcore
Packers fan. But he was just at he was at
the last Colorado home game, right and he led them
out and then he was at the Raider game rapping
and now he's mean I just like, yeah, I he

(11:45):
I would overexpose this fair, overexposed his fair, completely fair.
And the crazy part about it is like, I just
we all know what it's gonna be, and we're all
still gonna watch and maybe that makes us like curmudgeons,
but there's going to be more cutaways and agents texting

(12:09):
people at Fox to make.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Sure I get. I mean even last time, right like,
why was the Rock there? I get?

Speaker 1 (12:16):
I think WWE was in Denver and that was when
he's first back in WWE, so it did, in fact
make sense. But the Hangars owners, sideline pass guy who's
got nothing to do with the school and very little
to deal with Dion, and just trying to catch some
of that clout.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
That's what this weekend is going to be.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
What's occurring off the field is in many ways more
compelling that will be on the field. And that's an
eye roller right by the way. I just I told
people this yesterday on the show. I don't know if
people caught it. As Jaystu point out, is that a
ten o'clock start time, Yeah, usc actually, and this is

(12:58):
one of those they're getting ready for the Big ten.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
But it's also part of their program.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
They get up twice week six am and lift even
in season.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, that just sounds awful to me. By the way,
six am.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
That means you got to make set your alarm at five,
make sure you don't oversleep, you don't sleep at night.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
But they'll be fine.

Speaker 6 (13:13):
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 (13:24):
Doug Gottlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. So Zach Wilson's going
to get another shot to start for the Jets. Of course,
they're taking on the Kansas City Chiefs this upcoming weekend
at home.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Not sure if you're aware.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
But Travis Kelcey is gonna have a special guest, Taylor
someone named Taylor Swift. Joking, But the big news in
New York is not that Taylor Swift is going to
a Jets game. It's that Zach Wilson's going to get
another chance to start. And he said this about the
criticism he's heard from legendary former Jets quarterback Joe Namath.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
And he's passionate.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
He obviously was one of the greats, and so that
says an offense, we got to do everything we can
just to try and prove them on and keep doing
what we can and improve. I think the guys are
feeling very optimistic. You know, we all believe in each other.
We're all right there, so excited for this week. Obviously,
Joe was an unbelievable player, but this locker room is
very tight knit and we're working to get better.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
I'm working to get better.

Speaker 7 (14:19):
I know I need to improve, and I promise I'm
doing everything I can to keep trying to get better.
And so and the focus is just to rely on
each other in this locker room and lean on each
other because that's all we got at the end of
the day, and we're going to do everything we can
to keep improving.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Listen, all those are great answers and probably could have
used those answers last year when it was bad. But
at some point the play has to improve.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
You know.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Last year it was about the play, but also about
kind of the persona and the answers, if you will.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
This year, it's just about the fact that.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
They're not very good hat with him at quarterback and
the crazy part is that we didn't really get a
chance to see Aaron Rodgers. And even though the skill
positions skillvision players are really good and with Aaron Rodgers
you would think the line thinks. So we don't even
know if they would have been good of Aaron Rodgers

(15:13):
was there? But nothing wrong with Zach Wilson's answers. Problem
is at some point it's not about what you say,
it's about what you do, and he just hasn't done
enough to silence those critics. That sounds bad, Dan, it
sounds like bad bad foreshadow.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
Yeah, it was even worse than it sounds. He was
not good.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, what do you attest it to other than the
fact that they were better than us?

Speaker 5 (15:39):
I think, yeah. I think it's it is difficult to
win on foreign soil. It's why it hasn't happened in
thirty years for the Americans. Some questions on the matchups
that were sent out especially early. No Brooks Koepka, No,
Justin Thomas Jordan Speeth in the first sessions, and the
US lost that for nothing. So that's where that's where
Zach Johnson, and it's under the microscope.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
All right.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Mark Dominic joins us he spent twenty years in NFL
front offices and scouting, former general manager of the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers, and Mark joins his on the Doug Gottlieb
Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right, let's start in
Miami last weekend. Have you ever seen anything like what
happened to Denver?

Speaker 4 (16:22):
It's been a long time. I mean I literally was
watched the game and never thought I'd see seventy and
it was just impressive. And it was just explosion playoffs
explosion play. There's nothing the Broncos could do about it,
and it just shows you the amount of speed, but
also that system that they take from Shanahan that you know,
Kyle's having success right now Scyr Francisco. Obviously he's done

(16:42):
success in Miami, and it's you know, when you've got
talented players in a quarterback, they could stay on the field.
But I didn't expect seventy. There's no way I could
thought of that.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
How much of it is Denver quitting? You know?

Speaker 1 (16:57):
I mean, like, look, you give up that many yards
on the ground in the third and fourth quarter at
some point, at some point it comes down to your competitiveness.
And I just know I got to think that has
to have something to do with it.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
Oh, I think it does. I mean, look, this is
you know, as tough as it gets, you know, every
you know, Sean Payton was right before the season was
talking bad about Nathaniel Hackett and what was wrong with
Denver Broncos and you know, and how bad it was.
And then it turns around and Denver lets the team
put seventy on them. It's it's a bad look. And
I agree. Sometimes when you get to these kind of games,

(17:32):
players at that point start to think about their bodies.
They start to think about that I don't want to
end up this game's over. I don't want to get hurt,
and more and more bad plays happened because of it.
I think that's what happened, is that players started to
be a little more selfish in that situation and say, hey,
this thing's out of reach. I just don't want to
get hurt, and therefore they don't play to the same level.
And that's what happened to this game.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well, what about Miami they go to they go to
Buffalo this weekend, and obviously, you know, I think people
on many levels though Sean Dermott, you know, cut his
teeth as a defensive coordinator Philadelphia didn't work out great
replacing Jim Johnson, and of course in Carolina did they
went to Super Bowl. Now he's taken over defensive playing
calling duties for his own team this year. How does

(18:12):
their defense match up with what Miami likes to do?

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Well, I think they're pretty good. I mean they've got
you know, I think that they've got some things that
are happening on their defense this year. That number one,
that they're healthy right now, which is obviously a big
piece of Endy puzzle. But I think they are a
faster defense they were even a year ago. And I
think that's what you when you're playing the Dolphins you
have to be. And one of those guys I think
is Terrell Bernard. He's the second year players they're going
to pick up for them last year. He's coming there
and played really fast, athletic you know, kind of the

(18:38):
mic linebacker, but can really run and side by the sideline.
And he's been helpful as we saw it even last week,
right you got Defensive Player of the Week by his
production line. I think that's part of it. The other
part is, you know, is you know, I think again
on the back end. I think they're pretty good. But
you obviously you've got Toredavious White. They got some experience
back there with homegoing guys that have been in their

(18:59):
system for one, two, three, four, five, six years, and
I think that's been important too. So they play good.
Now do they match up great? I don't think anybody
in the NFL can match up really good against the
healthy Waddle and a healthy Hill, and that's gonna be
a problem for anybody because you've got to decide whether
you're going to take away the deep ball like Bill
Parcells did, Bill Belichick did, or you're gonna have to

(19:19):
decide if you're gonna, you know, stop stop the run
and or stop the deep ball and give up some
of the run. And I think that's what you got
to decide which it is. And it did work for
Belichick to say, hey, look, you know I'm gonna take
this part away. I'll take away the deep ball, and
you still lose. So it's a tricky Dolphins team. Their
offensive line is playing pretty good. I don't love the
matchup for the Buffalo Bills, but I had the Bills

(19:41):
the Super Bowl prior to the season starting. I'm not
going to come off from now.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Mark Domick join US coach former general manager of Tampay
Buccaneers Doug Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's
get to the Chargers and last weekend, I was told
that the Chargers are all on board, like front office
on board with going for it own twenty four force
in less than the yard. You know, they fall back

(20:06):
on hey, conversion rate seventy five percent, we get that,
we win the game, they hold on to win their
first win of the season.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
What were you thinking when you saw it?

Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah, I thought it was a gutsy call, obviously, but
the Chargers, like we talked about last week, I thought
this game was much more critical for the Chargers to
get to one and two than it is the Vikings
to get to one and two. And that's because that
AFC is going to be a battle all the way
to the end, and you've got to start getting on
the win column. And so I think the Chargers looked
as like, we look, we've got to figure out how
to make this happen. And he's certainly coach Dailey's certainly

(20:36):
been very aggressive throughout his stay there and didn't change.
And I think that I guess it's not a surprise
because of how they've decided to play the analytics portion
of it, but they've been consistent doing that all long.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Mark Dominicks is our guest here on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Okay,
so they take on the Raiders, who feel like a
bit of a mess like Garoppolo's interceptions were bad, and
then I don't know how you kick a field goal
they're down eight?

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Did you understand why they kick a field goal down eight?

Speaker 4 (21:06):
No? Not really, I don't. I don't love that kind
of mindset either. I think it's one of those things
where you're you're like, what's the point at that point?
Neither you got you're not gonna I know, you're thinking
you can score twice or whatever it's going to be,
but you know there's two months to go in the game.
Uh you know, you know it's not a great down
and distance that you love, but you know you're still
gonna want to get the ball back and have to score.

(21:27):
I don't love it. I mean, I don't know how
I was to say it, you know, but the problem
was it was what fourth and seven, and they were
worried they couldn't make it, and I thought they would
go for it, and clearly that didn't work out, and
so you know, it's it's it's a surprise for me
the way that they played that game. But I you know,
I still think when you look at the Pittsburgh Steelers,
you look at the Raiders, Pittsburgh was found a way

(21:49):
to win that game. And say, for the Raiders, Jimmy
Garoppolo and not only looked bad in terms of making
those turnovers, but he looked bad because I think he
was already in the concussion situation where now he's in
the concussion protocol. It doesn't look like he's gonna play
this week, No.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
It doesn't.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Deshaun Watson may not play this week for Cleveland. They're
going to take on to Baltimore Ravens. Obviously the Ravens
have some injury and issues. But what do you think
of their collapse last weekend at a home against the
Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeah, it's surprising there too. I mean, obviously, you know
all along, I thought, actually, Gardnervich, you might start the season.
It's nice to have a guy that can go in
there and win games for you when you're needing to
win but yeah, I thought this is a game where
you know, I think last week can kind of proved that.
You just talked about a field goal. You know, it
was important for the Colts. They were five for five
on field goals and Tucker missed one. I mean this
was a game where you know, last week, what was

(22:41):
it the Saints of the Packers, where the same t
had a chance to win the game and miss the
field goal, and so kickers still are a big part
of it. To me, this is where the Ravens bent
and didn't break. But the Colts never missed a field
goal and went five for five and you know, those
points start to rack up against a Ravens team that
you know still is trying to find the run game.
I think Gusa is doing a good job, but he

(23:01):
you know, they just always get banged up once one
guy goes down that running back room in the Ravens,
it's a bizarre group of guys that can't seem to
something to stand up and stay healthy for him when
somebody else goes down. So it's going to be really
important have Gus Edwards out there. I do think he's
a number one back in the NFL. He just got
to stay healthy. And I think if they can rely
on having Gus out there the entire time, this Ravens

(23:22):
team will win those games that they lost this last week.
But you know, Day made some big ones, right. He
made three kicks over fifty yards and that's a huge
deal and that's how they won this game.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
What's your evaluation of Jared Goff?

Speaker 4 (23:35):
You know, he's building on what he did last year, right,
and then I think that's the most exciting thing. You
can sit there safe. You're a Denver, a Detroit Lions fan.
Is you know that he's played very consistent, He's played
very smart, and you know he's been able to put
this team in great situations to win ball games. And
even though you know last night was his best performance, no,

(23:55):
but wasn't good enough to make sure that they won
the game. They ran the ball preak, right, David Montgomery,
you know he turned around handed off. I think the
Sam laporta guy has been a really big find for them,
you know, in terms of the draft and what the
impact he's having for them. Unlike any of the other
tight ends that were drafted as high. To me, Sam
Laport's come out as you know, a really great tight
end class, and he's the guy that's really kind of

(24:15):
impacted his football team right off the bat, not Luke
musk Grave, even though I think Muskrave is going to
be a great or Craft, you know, not Kincaid, but
it's been Laporta. And I think when you have that
fact that you trust and you can run the ball
effectively and you he'll have gibs also in the passing game.
I think it all works together that allows Jared Golf
to be in that top twenty, top fifteen, maybe even

(24:38):
type of quarterback. And if you've got that, you got
a chance.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
So when you hear poor Man's Matt Ryan, I kind
of think Ryan Fitzpatrick mailed it.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
What do you.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
Think he could be Matt Ryan. I don't even know
if he's a poor Man's Matt Ryan because it's not
like and I love Matt Ryan and he's going to
get a Hall of Fame jacket, but you know, Matt
Ryan didn't end up with any Super Bowl rings either
and then had a lot of success. I feel like
Jared Golf has kind of grown into or I think
he is kind of Matt Ryan, where every week you
have a chance to win. He may not be the
best quarterback in your division because that was Drew Brees,

(25:07):
but he's good enough to put you in every game
every week, and that's Jared Golf and I think that's
where he's become.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
It's a great point.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
My thing was and I get I get that the
poor man's is probably what set him off or sets
people off, but it's like when they're being compared to
Matt Ryan become a bad thing.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
I don't know, I disagree. I mean again, Hall of
Fame Jacket's going to be on him at some point
in some point soon. And I agree Matt Ryan couldn't
quite ever have the right luck or the right play,
call it the right pass protection win that Super Bowl,
but he deserved one because he's he was a warrior.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
What do you think the Bears should do?

Speaker 4 (25:41):
You know, we talked about this last week about justin
fields and obviously, you know, the concerns are there, and
then the concerns continue to show up, and I think
the Bears just play the season out and if they
have to, you know, call it, call it what it is.
If it's not there, you know, the Bears are going
to have to go back to the drawing board and
redraft up in a class that next year is going
to be is We're going to talk about it more

(26:03):
and more as we keep going, but that's going to
be a really good class quarterbacks, I think. But some
of these guys are going to make a decision to
come out and how they're playing, it's going to be
a great quarterback class. So if there's a year where
you have to sit there and say, look, we've given
up the time, we've made our decision, we're moving on,
and then they'll have to move on. But I mean,
at this point, you've made your bed, I think keep
sleep in it. And it's going to be a long season.

(26:23):
I don't think the Bears worked themselves out of this.
I just don't think that they're overall a good enough
football team. And I think there was a lot of hype.
And again even preseason, I think we were talking and
I said, I don't think he's going to make the
jump to that just lost fields Jalen Hurts made last year.
I just never saw that, and you know right now,
sadly you're not seeing it. And I think they've got

(26:44):
to get back to doing something right. And that's when
I was with coach Dungee at the Bucks early in
my career. Coach Dungee always said do less, do it better.
And I think that's where the Bears got to kind
of tighten things down and make sure they can do
fundamental stuff good enough. And may that be games where
you who's eighteen to fourteen. Yes, but you gotta start
getting some confidence within that offense, within that team. And

(27:05):
that's doing less but doing it right.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Doug out the show here on Fox Sports Radio. That's
the voice of Mark Dominic, wh of course as a
former gentlem manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And Mark,
I'm super interested, okay in the Patriots and Mac Jones.
It seems to be like a reputation thing here where
I don't know, like I thought, he's played pretty well
first couple of weeks of the season, but you hear,

(27:33):
you know, bits and pieces and sniping. Last year is
about the coordinator. It's always been about, you know, is
he a dirty player? What do you hear about Mac
Jones as the starting quarterback of the Patriots.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
Yeah, I don't think he's a dirty player. I know
that that they come across very well with sus Carter.
By any chance, but you know, this is the thing
talked about the Patriots and we've talked about it too.
They're not explosive and they're not going to score points.
They just don't have those type of players in their football team.
They've got a lot of guys that you know, have
had opportunities. But there's a reason why the Patriots are average,
what's seventeen points a game? Just over seventeen points a game,

(28:08):
and I think that's going to be the norm. You know,
I don't think this Patriots team is going to go
out there and blow away teams. And I think that's
because Mac Jones is a good football player, but he's
not exceptional and I don't think they've surrounded him with
exceptional talent. And then I think those two things combined
are going to keep this Patriots team down so that
everybody can sider around and look at it and go,
what's wrong with Mac Jones? What's wrong with the saw?
It's the speed on that football team. They don't have

(28:31):
enough speed on that football team and continue to haunt
them and just look across at the Miami Dolphins and
see the difference.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Why why haven't they addressed that? I mean they went out. Look,
they went out and got a very good cornerback.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Okay, but I've heard that team is slow for the
last four or five years. Why haven't they addressed that?

Speaker 4 (28:50):
Yeah? You know, I think for me, Bill Belichick, as
great as he's as the master of a coach, you know,
he's very selfish with the draft. He is. I mean again,
this year he took what his first three picks were
all defense. Again, he's done that before. I know that.
You know, the year before he might have taken the
kid Cole Strange at the bottom of the first I
know he's taken matc. Jills. If you go through the

(29:10):
years and look at how many picks he puts on
the defense side of the ball, you can see why
they're struggling because he focuses so heavily on that that
side of the ball in terms of getting talent because
that's his Nate Nate's mindset. And I also think it's
it's tough when you're the general manager and the head
coach and you can't you know, do do people have
enough confidence to walk into Bill Belichick's office and say, hey, look,

(29:33):
you know it's twenty twenty three off season. We are
slow and we've got to do something about it, and
can Bill Belchico. You know, you're right, we should do
something about it. And I don't know if Bill doesn't
see it, but they certainly didn't address it by what
they did in terms of adding guys. They added guy
that you know has some size or can run a
little bit. But you know, Mike Casecki's not a fast player,
and Stevens is not really a fast player. Zeke Elliott's

(29:55):
not really a fast player anymore, you know. Kendrick Bourd.
I mean, when you go down the list, it's like
it's pretty obvious to all of us. And yet I
think they're very comfortable with what they are and what
they've done.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Awesome stuff, Mark, really really good, Thanks so much for

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Here's Dan Byer.

Speaker 6 (30:54):
This is game time on the Doug Gottleib Show.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
I will say, Doug, I think you brought this one
in the suitcase when he came over to Fox Sports
Radio those many years ago. I think that this was
this was a part of the carry on package that
you had.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yes, it was part of my Louis Vauton luggage.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
Yes, and the game that's in that Louis Psychic. I
remember when Doug walked in and he said to all
the other games, He's like, you better watch out because
I'm bringing Louie. Remember that. Yep, And all those other
games had Gucci.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
They all had to leave. All the games hit the
transfer portal. All right, Doug, excuse me? Psychic? Will an
NFL head coach lose his job after week four.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Well, I know the only guy that we're thinking could
lose his job would be Brandon Staley, is it?

Speaker 5 (31:48):
I thought him? Or if the Bears completely bottom out
against the Broncos, maybe there would be something in Chicago,
But I don't.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Know think so. I don't think so in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Again, it's a little early, and it's pretty obvious that
they think the quarterback's the issue, right, Yeah, and the
quarterback was brought in by a different regime. Now, remember
the president was hired, he was coming came over from
running the Big Ten. But he's more not necessarily a figurehead,

(32:30):
but not though he has final say in football decisions.
He's a former basketball player who's not When he was
in Minnesota as their president, he didn't make football decisions.
The GM Ryan Pace hired Ibu Flus. So I think
the quarterback goes before everybody else.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
I'm gonna say no, now.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
All right, psychic, Will Taylor Swift attend another Chiefs game
after this Sunday night game in New York?

Speaker 1 (32:56):
That's a good question, right, because you know, she looks
like she's a second date, or maybe he's getting a
second date. That's a question there. Who's actually getting the
second date in this thing. Well, okay, so the Chiefs
playing the I don't see her going to Minnesota. I
don't know her schedule.

Speaker 5 (33:12):
But she's got a tour. I know that. There were
odds on I think she plays in Japan in February.
So if the Chiefs made the Super Bowl, she would
have like a show the night before, But there were
odds on whether she would attend that if they made
it that far.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
I think the answer is yes, she could be in
another game. Should be another game. It won't be Minnesota, Okay,
and it won't be I don't think she makes another
home game, but I do think there's a chance that
Eagles game the rematch of the Super Bowl on Monday
Night Football in November. That's a long way away, and

(33:50):
the Raiders game as well. Short week for them because
it's in Vegas, right Eagles, because that will be a
really well watched game. Eagles is going to have a
great record, Chiefs are going to have a good record.
Answer rematch the Super Bowl and the Raiders in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Those are the two to.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
Watch out for, all right, Psychic will. The NBA punished
the Blazers for sitting Damian Lillard with his air quotes
calf injury and air quotes late last season.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
No, I don't believe they will.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
And it's that story is fascinating on a multitude of levels,
isn't it Like where you have you have Damian Lillard
coming out saying that if he couldn't be traded to Miami,
he wanted to go back to Portland. They're like, nah,
we're good. And then of course he tells the world
that they sat him to get a better draft pick

(34:46):
and said he had a calf injury.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
That whole thing is it.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
Would open Pandora's box, wouldn't it for any other team?

Speaker 2 (34:53):
It would, Yeah, very much, would very much. Would you know?
The first rule of tenk club.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
Is yes, psychic. Where do you think Drew Holiday ends
up that online has some odds Celtics five to two
heat or plus three hundred Raptors plus four hundred Clippers
plus five hundred.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
I think Celtics is where he ends up. Man.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
I think he's their answer to replacing Marcus Smart's toughness.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
Man, that would be something Sacramento Kings are not in it.
According to a report from Sam Amck, I thought about it,
but not going to happen.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
All right, psychic, and and be pradent, not this genture.

Speaker 5 (35:30):
Well, Team Europe set the record for the most decisive
win at the Ryder Cup. Considering their great morning today.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yes, they are whooping our booty.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
They are. It's gonna be tough to get ground. Us
dominated the last time out when nineteen to nine, and
that mark could be shattered pretty pretty quickly. All right, psychic. Finally,
will the Miami Marlins and New York Mets have to
resume their game that was postponed last night on Monday
for playoff purposes? So as it stands right now, because

(35:59):
the Marlins have not completed that game, they currently are
a half game up on the Cubs for the final
wild card in the National League. Will that game need
to be resumed on Monday to settle the postseason picture.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
It's one of the craziest things I've ever seen, right,
And this all kind of goes back to the field issues,
not getting the tarp down in time, and now they've
had like end of day's rains in New York. Look
at the standings in the National League and you look
at the metscu me look at the Marlins and you're like,
holy cow, that's unbelievable how impactful this is as they're

(36:38):
a half game up on the Cubs.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
And it's been like twenty years since they've been on
the post season.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Right, and that was the last time they won it,
went in. Yeah, that was when they won it. And
oh yeah, by the way, here's the weird thing. Cubs
broadcaster Voice of the Cubs, John Shombi. Last time the
Marlins went to the World Series, won it. Voice of
the Marlins, John Shombi's And that's they did.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
They went after that.

Speaker 5 (37:05):
The COVID year was crazy, you know, so you had,
you know what, eight teams made it from each league.
So they technically made it because they beat the Cubs
uh in a series that year.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
But it doesn't count. That whole post season doesn't count.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Let's just say your World Series doesn't count.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
They're Jason, I've stated that on record.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Yeah, okay, okay, that's fine. Doug gotlip show here on
Fox Sports Tradio Next hour. We have a ton of
