Speaker 2 (00:18):
Happy Monday, say goodbye to the weekend. I'm pretty soon
you're gonna be saying goodbye to summer. Officially not until
later in September, but Labor Day, two weeks from today.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
You know, summer here in LA has changed. Summer now
goes into October.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
It starts so late.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I feel like all the seasons have like shifted a
little bit, and now summer starts later.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
It hasn't even been that hot, and it's gonna get hotter.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
And I think it's gonna be Halloween and all those
skimpy costumes one that I may wear.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
It'll be perfect because it's gonna be hot.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So it was. It was a thanks Day after Thanksgiving,
a black Friday that I once put Christmas lights up
and it was ninety degrees and it was windy, is bleep,
but it was Yes, it was super one. November We're
becoming Australia here in southern California. Welcome, good eye mates,
(01:14):
It's the Doug Gottlieb Show. He's about as fowers. We're
going to go Doug's at Wrigleyfield today taking in Cubs brewers.
How about that? What a way to spend the Monday.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, good for you, Doug. We'll take over for you.
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I know if Doug was here for the segment we're
about to do, he would say that he loves going
to Wrigley Field checking out some day baseball. We're gonna
do something else. It's gonna have some love. It's also
going to have some hate.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
What did you love? God? I love you? And what
did you hate?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Meet these player haters. It's a Monday staple here on
The Doug Gottlieb Show. Jason Stewart, Isaac Low and cron
Iowa Sam hanging out with Monty and myself. What you
love about this weekend? What'd you hate about this weekend? Mancy,
I'm not gonna start with you. I'm giving you the
entire steering wheel. You get to pick who goes where?
(02:11):
Oh yes, who starts us out?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
We're gonna We're gonna go to Isaac Lohenkron to start
us off.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
All right, with some love from the weekend.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
All right, we will take you to Saturday evening Sofi
Stadium in Inglewood, Los Angeles Chargers in Los Angeles Rams
in an otherwise unimportant and uninteresting preseason game, but a
thrilling moment in the fourth quarter with six forty five remaining,
(02:43):
as Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett had his pass intercepted by
a previously well widely unknown Los Angeles Chargers defensive lineman
named t row Edwards t Ri Edwards, who weighs in
at three hundred and five pounds, an undrafted rookie out
of Illinois, and he joyously rumbled for a twenty seven
(03:05):
yard return. And not to get too emotional or weepy
or smoopy, as my wife called it about this, but
that's actually one of the cool things about preseason football
to see an undrafted person that is completely out of
the radar just make a really great play, stand out play,
and have a moment in the sun. There was another
(03:27):
undrafted player named Luke Grimm in that game who returned
to punt sixty six yards for a touchdown. Some guys
who may never make it in the NFL that that
literally might be their one moment that they'll remember and
their loved ones will remember for the rest of their lives.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I'd love that. Can I love that?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah? You can. If the Chargers were in hard knocks,
that would be twenty eight minutes of this week's episode
would be just on.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
That play right right after Justin Herbert has a smoothie.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yes, yes, I love it because there's nothing, nothing at
all investigative or diving deep. They love the cherry on
top stories, and that was one of them from Saturday.
It's a good Isaac had pre and post game duties
for Chargers Football, so I knew it wasn't going to
be a ram. I knew it wasn't going to be
Stetson Bennett. I knew that was not going to be
(04:17):
the case.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
All right, why don't we go to our producer, Jason. Jason,
what did you.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Love about the thank you Montie?
Speaker 7 (04:24):
I'll take it from here. I went to the game
Saturday night, Saturday Night, Dodgers padres second of three wins.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
I'll take it from here.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
We'll get to we'll get to the Sweetwater on But
I want to just talk about my experience because it's
all about me. Every once in a while, you have
important people get you tickets to games. It was my
super hot girl friend Christina's birthday, so we birthday. We
got first class treatment. So our seats were kind of
behind home place. Saw that first, first or second, real
(04:57):
nice seats, and then we got access to of the
dugout club. This is how the other people live. Monzy
knows all about this, but poor people that work in
radio like us don't really get this. You go down
to the Dugout Club and you're eating on the Dodgers
dime anything you want to eat, hot dogs, down to
(05:17):
chicken that's very well made. I can't whoever the word is.
And then you know you're you're you're buying your beer.
But like it's just the way people on the other
side live you're talking about. We saw I saw Jason
Bateman walk down there. Nice another star that I saw
that that Gray's pass what's his name? What's his name?
(05:41):
From Scrubs? Yes, anyways, that's my weekend. I loved it.
Love my Dodgers experience.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Congratulations. That is a nice experience in the Dougout Club.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Like Zach braff is on the top of my list
of celebrities that annoy me.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
That's what I told him.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I said that to him because his Punked episode, he
came off like a total jerk.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I didn't love PUNKD, so I didn't watch it a
lot like I watched.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It, and I told on some people it did.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, because some people don't handle it.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, correct, And I felt like he was one of them.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
You know, I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised he gives
that vibe off. And I didn't watch a lot of
Scrubs either, but he gives.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Up a very braffy so it just comes off very braffy.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Damn, why don't you continue with bray and what you
loved about the weekend?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So I took my son to the driving range on Saturday,
and he's learning golf. He's four years old. But we
were we were at the far end of the range
and someone came right next to us, and I told
the guy, said, listen, he is just learning. He holds
(06:54):
the golf club like it's a hockey stick, Like this
is how he's swinging. The clubs are probably too big
for him. Happy gil in you may be in harm's way.
He goes, don't worry about it. I'm just gonna hit
a couple. I said, all right, because I was at
the hitting Babe Brody and I were alternating. Brody's sitting
in the chair behind me. I hear, watch the guy
(07:15):
hit a shot there it is my son yells bad shot.
And I was mortified, yet I could not. I had
to scold him to say, like, you can't yell bad
shot at someone else's shot. But I felt so bad,
yet I was trying not to laugh because it was
(07:36):
so funny. I did say, you cannot say that on
the golf course, like imagine, like even like if buddies
would do it to me and totally get under my skin,
let alone a perfect stranger who just showed up. The
guy nice enough to admit. A couple of minutes later,
he goes, by the way, it was a bad shot,
like so like, so Brody's got an eye on what
is a good shot and a bad shot. But I
(07:58):
took him to the course couple times this weekend, and
that was yeah, that was Saturday night when he told
the guy next to me that he just hit an
awful seven.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
Toddy Bayer the David Ferrite.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
Olds bar did say that Darnedes. Yeah right, they got
no filter. Here'll let you have it. Here's the other
part that I love.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Every time that I would swing, he would yell, that's
what I'm talking about. And and some of mine were fat,
they were blocks to the right, they were duck hooks.
You know. It was. He was my biggest cheerleader, which
I I appreciate.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
You love that. What is it when you say it
was fat?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So I give you you'll hit the ground before you first. Yeah, yes,
you'll hit the ground before you hit the ball. So
you go okay with the ball. If you were to
just say, hit just on the bottom of the club
and just hit the ball and it's a low line drive,
hit it thin, that sort of deal.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Me got it, got it. That's amazing. So we were
We were proud and embarrassed all at the same time. Yes,
good times. I always Sam, What did you love about
the weekend?
Speaker 8 (08:59):
So love and hate come from the same day. I'll
start with my day starts with the love and it
ends with the hate. This was Saturday, so uh. It
was our editor Ryan Berschinger. It was his birthday earlier
this week, and he invited us some people to take
the train from Seami Valley up to Santa Barbara and
kind of go around.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You know, uh, I don't know you Canci.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Did you get this invitation?
Speaker 8 (09:22):
She was the first one I guaranteed had she had
other other things she had It was your working also.
Oh yes, okay, Monci's very much in demand. But we
can Manzi cannot join us, So we made our way
up to Santa Barbara. Wonderful train ride or you know,
it's not a booze cruise, so it's I don't know,
it's a train rhyme.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I don't know. We can Come on, Dan, you're the
pun guy. Here is a train. I just can't believe
I wasn't invited. That's I'm sorry, stuck on. Sorry, Yes,
I'm sure you would have. Let's just ask him for
a friend. Could you go back into their wedding invite
and take away the gifts you gave him? Are you behalf?
You're not invited as well?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Just have we started?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Honest?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Did?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I'm sure Dan you would have.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
You would have joined us at ten o'clock in the
morning for a Red Bull in vodka get things started.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
He could have had the red bull.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
We could have waltzed and then we waltzed over the.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
Train anyway, So we go down to Santa barb Love
of the sun eventually came out in the afternoon. We
were sipping wine, beers, eating, drinking and it was just
a lovely day. It was a lovely day till we
got back on the train. And I will save I
will say that after.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
They hate, I do love. Sam could have just said
I went up to Santa Barbara with friends this weekend,
but he watched the name drop for everybody else that
will follow in his stead today.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Turn that screw one more knowledge.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Yes, I had to involve FSR, you know, make it
FSR centric.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yes, I'll wrap it up and I'll keep it short here. Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You know, I had a busy Saturday and I had
a long drive, and we work in sports and sometimes
you just want to like tune sports out right. You
were kind of like, I don't want to listen to
this game, I don't want to listen to anybody talk
about anything. And I put on a a crime junkie
podcast and for ninety minutes I forgot that I was
in traffic, and I just appreciated that for I did
not know that ninety minutes of seeing in traffic, I
(11:08):
was gonna walk away and be like, damn, that girl's
still missing.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I wonder where she's at. I wonder if they're ever
going to find her.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Like it, I thank you to Crime Junkie Podcasts for
separating me from traffic and sports for ninety minutes. That
I needed that, And sometimes you just don't know where
to turn to crime Jo And.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
She traveled three point two miles in that ninety minute,
so that was even better. I could have ran it,
I'd say, traffic in this city, So I thinks I.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Know I could have ran it faster, could have ran
it faster.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
All right, let's get to our hates. Yeah, all right,
all right, you got the steering wheel.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Do you want to kick us off?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Dan?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
What did you hate about the weekend?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I hate the Big Tens proposal of twenty four to
twenty eight teams for the college football playoff. Okay, their
heart was in the right place. I think that they
they're sticking to a model where it would have four
automatic qualifiers with the Big ten, the SEC, a couple
for the S or the ACC, and the Big twelve,
and then you would have a group of five and
(12:06):
three automatic qualifiers. The Big Ten has also floated the
idea of instead of having our top two teams play
for a conference championship game, we would have the third
best team play the sixth best team, and the fourth
place team play the fifth place team, and the winner
of those two could be the automatic qualifiers along with
the top two teams in this sixteen team model. Then
they thought to themselves, well, wait, why would our teams
(12:28):
have to play our teams? Why not just include all
of our schools and then the SEC can include all
of theirs and they'll play each other instead, and we
don't have to knock each other out. Why don't we
have a twenty four to twenty eighteen bracket. You can
see the reasoning, but it's gone so far off the tracks.
No one wants this. Nobody would want this. No one
(12:48):
wants big noon kickoff at Wisconsin at Maryland on a
Saturday for the seventh spot in the Big Ten to
possibly make the playoffs. Nobody wants that their heart may
have been in the right place, and the deductive reasoning
of how we could do this and make this work
is fine. There's not a single person around that would
want to see college football go to a twenty eighteen playoff?
(13:10):
Not at all. I hope I speak for everyone, Sam.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Why don't you finish out why you hit it about
the weekend and then just give it?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Do you agree with I hear you?
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Dan?
Speaker 9 (13:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I do?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Okay, Yeah, okay, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Don't like it. You don't like it?
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Dan?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Here?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
So picking up a from Anna barbera train story.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, Eringer's birthday.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
It went off and you you said used the tournament.
Something went off the the idea went off the tracks. Yeah,
well my return trip didn't go off the tracks literally physically.
Would have saw it on the news? Yes, you would have.
So we're all getting into the train. The sun's going down.
We're all pretty faded. It's been a long day of
imbibing and waltzing about Santa Barbara on the lovely day. Anyway,
(13:51):
we must have stumbled upon the train car that was
holding the group on dot com sixteenth Annual Ladies Be
Shopping Convention because this woman had this one woman named Trina.
She started walking up and down the aisles and all
these women were like cheering and drinking.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And then you can drink alcohol. They serve alcohol in
the train.
Speaker 8 (14:09):
This woman named Trina had a whistle and she kept whistling,
and people had like a boombox, and we were just
like trying to relax, and this this woman was just
like turn it into the party train. And it was
really fun at first, and then you were like, Okay,
we're all exhausted and this woman is blowing this whistle
in my ear as she's passing by. So it went
from like an hour and a half train ride that
was supposed to be just enjoyable and relaxing, and it
(14:31):
was just ridiculously annoying. And then we would make stops
and then we'd be at like the Ventura stop for
fifteen minutes and we're supposed to be only there for
like one minute and take off. So by the time
we finally got back, we were all just exhausted and
irritable and at that point needed another drink to cope
with the ladies be shopping convention or whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
We stumbled upon that sounds like a Fox Sports Sunday
two to five party, singing people's blowing whistles, taking videos,
the whole deal.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
I I, yes, I would consent to that, but I
did not consent to this.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
This woman was very lively.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
She was having a great time, and I just sat
there and Grandon barried it because I didn't want to
poop pool on her good time.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
But it was quite the return trip back. It was wild, wild,
Poor Trina. She got caught a stray. She's at work
right now, has no idea. She's just been throwing under
the bus. And only is she a chopaholic.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
She's annoying it and we're putting her glass on national radio.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
Well, I mean, you know by the end of it,
where I was kind of hating on treeing on a
little bit. So that's my hate, all right, you know what,
she had a good time, So what can you say.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I'm gonna tell you what I hated about the weekend.
I hated the Rams attempt to deceive me that Matthew
Stafford is not well. What is he well or is
he not? Because I'm over here having discussions that the
Rams need to move on from Matthew.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Stafford and that he's not doing well.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
He's thirty seven with his back issues, and they're like,
he was supposed to practice Saturday, but we'll give me,
We're gonna make an announcement on Monday. That sounds really bad.
And then you come out today and you're like, oh, no,
he had a good practice, a whole hour.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
He's fine. Stop deceiving me. He is not. Okay, it
feels very.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Remember last year before the season started how the forty
nine ers hand handled Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Oh, I hated that.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I feel like it's not yes, yes, And it's obviously
even worse with Christian McAffrey because of the fantasy and
people drafting him number one overall and then he's not.
But it's like, stop telling me half truths when it
comes to Matthew Stafford, please, because.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
I'm over here having arguments with Kerry and then here
he is, Oh he's fine. Then what am I arguing?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
To your point though, for them to not play Jimmy
Garoppolo at all the season tells us what we need
to know about Matthew.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Stafford exactly exactly. But no, no, he's fine. He had a
whole hour of practice day. Give me a break, Rams,
Jase too, what did you hate about the weekend?
Speaker 7 (16:50):
So I did too way too much Twitter. I shouldn't
be on Twitter as much as I am. So the
people that want it both ways. Okay, So h NFL
Twitter this weekend downplayed Caleb Williams nice quarter or nice
drive by saying it's only preseason. These were the same
(17:11):
group of idiots that overplayed and over analyzed him missing
the net three times in practice, So which one? Which
one is it? You're going to overplay him missing the
net three times in a practice and then downplay when
he does well in the game. You can't have it
both ways. You just want to be negative, Nancy, no
(17:32):
matter what happens, and I just don't Joe with that. Dan,
I'm an overly positive guy.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Definitely.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
It's funny how literally all of us laughed when he said.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
That people think that Jason's full name is resident hater
Jason Stewart because of how often Doug says it here
or what was that term that Jim Rome gave me?
Benign troll? That's what you are.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
It got me a benign troll recently.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I like you agree with that.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I did like Caleb Williams this weekend, We're going to
dive into that right a little bit.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
We had moved past it. But that's okay, No, No,
we can't. No, that's okay. That's all right, No, we
can absolutely do it.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
No, I just but it's exactly what Jason Stewart kind
of was talking about. I was annoyed at the negative
reports of how training camp is going when it's like, yo,
he has a new coach, it's a whole new thing
he's learning and does preseason not matter because you could
tell me it doesn't matter, and then he goes out
and does a good job and it's like nothing.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
So I'm rooting for him.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I think that the expectations are so absurd with him.
And this is the point I made with Mike Harmon yesterday,
is if he's the first overall pick, we can't sit
there and cherry pick even if he was thought to
be the generational talent. So like cam Ward, Caleb Williams
should have the same sort of expectations even if their
(18:51):
situations aren't different, which means and by saying that is
Caleb Williams shouldn't be so high and maybe cam Ward
shouldn't be so low first overall pick of a drafts
there should just be a pocket where you need to
be in of Caleb Williams, and I used Philip Rivers
as an example of if you had Philip Rivers career,
which by the way, would be zero Super Bowl appearances
(19:13):
and zero Super Bowl wins. I think for a Bears fan,
you would you would run to the counter, yes, cash
that in that guy. It would be worth that that
pick to draft that sort of guy. But I think
everybody wants him to be Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton
Manning and this this generational talent, and I just I
think that that's what's unfair to him in the expectations
(19:36):
and we view in how we view how good he is.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Absolutely part of the reason I'm rooting for him, And
in reality, I feel like all the pressure in that
division should be going to the Packers anyway, isaink yesizic.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Low and crime.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
At first I hated this because I felt bad for
the guy, but now I secretly think it's hilarious, particularly
with how gracious he handled it. While Scotti Scheffler was
winning the BMW Championship, a golfer named Ben Griffin yesterday
had a horrible start six overpar over the first three
holes yesterday. The reason why he accidentally overdosed on creatine,
(20:12):
He'll explain.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
And I had this like basically a snowball of creatine.
So I'd been in my bucket for probably like a month,
and I like broke it up and put in my
water bottle whatever, like I'm all good, Like I've taken
creatine on like off first before, it's fine. But I
started taking it after my second shot and I accidentally
swallowed like one of the one of the big rocks
kind of that was in my water bottle. And I've
(20:34):
never overdosed on creatine before, but I think I did
in the moment because I didn't really drink any water
after that. I basically just enaled like a snowball, and
so I started getting like super shaky, and I've never
felt like this before, and I literally felt like I got trimmers.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
So good on him for just explaining in a good
natured way. And once the overdose was gone, he was
seven under over the last fifteen holes, So that overdosing
on creating on a golf course.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
That's the first time I heard that.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
He four putted from five feet, which I mean.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
That's four putting, yes, so four attempts yes to get Wow,
that's not good.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
You should make the Ryder Cup team. He should. It's
not an automatic qualifier. But that decision we'll find out.
It'll be when Keg and Bradley has to make. But
Ben Griffin's been very, very good this year, and he's
good with social media as well, and good and explaining
what happened to him.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Right, And that's what we love and hated about the weekend.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I will say this, I love that Fox change their
on screen graphics. Their score bug is what we use
for the Super Bowl. The KC and the PHI with
Philadelphia and Kansas City were way too big, way too awkward.
Last night in the game between the Bears and Bills,
they just used their logos.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
So much better and so much better.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
And so that I'm hoping when the Buccaneers where their
throwback uniforms the creamsicles and when the Seahawks were theirs.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
You want to see that guy the throwback?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yes, I want to see Bucko Bruce. I want to

Speaker 2 (22:26):
And so what Trina was trying to do. On Saturday
Stug Gotlimb show Fox Sports Radio. I'm Dan Byer, She's
Moncey Blagos something that Iowa. Sam loved his train ridal
half of it, at least on What a great weekend
it was. It was a great weekend for Dodger fans.
Jason Stewart is here as I can want, cron at
the news desk, and my, what a difference of seventy
(22:49):
two hours? Do you remember?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I don't know if I'm feeling different. I don't know
if I'm feeling different.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I'll tell you what on Friday, if you missed it,
Moncey and I were in for a good four here
on Fox Sports Radio. We're in for Doug. We also
were in later for Cavino and Rich. We were talking baseball,
and this was in advance of the series. You know,
Jason sag Padre's Dodgers on Saturday night. But we kind
of had a conversation amongst us three about where the
(23:16):
Dodgers were currently as a team, because on Friday they
weren't in first place. They were a game back of
the Padres. Here's our exchange. If you need a refresher, monosh,
this you need a refresher. This is what it sounded
like on Friday when MONSI and Jason were in panic
mode on the Dodgers, and I basically just told them
(23:37):
to chill.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
No, no, no, you should have been just turning it
on this whole time, or at least trying to. But
I'm on, Jason, where's the urgency again? Where is the
want to win?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You know, you guys are it's really rich to hear this,
like it truly is. I mean, it's it's August fifteenth.
If you sweep the series tonight, you leave the weekend
with two game lead over the Padres, and you beat
your current, maybe not forever rival, but a current rival,
and this weekend can change everything.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Oh wow, Isaac, can we get.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
An updated look at the NLS standings right now?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Well, first of all, it is just being reported by
multiple sources close to Fox Sports Radio that Dave Roberts
actually played that SoundBite in the clubhouse the game for
his team first place, the Los Angeles Dodgers by a
whopping enormous two game margin over the San Diego Padres.
(24:42):
But after those words by Dan, it might as well
be twenty geez.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I mean seriously, season is turned around now one three
in a row.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Here's another tweet. Dodger players vote Dan Buyer a preemptive
World Series share.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Oh wow, congratulations.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yes, and then you can get one for the Brewers.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
And then all of a sudden you.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Got a full share.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Oh yeah, dah.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I know you're trying to call me out here, but
the reality is like, I don't feel.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I am not trying to call you out.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I just.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Guess is it bad that I want my team to
freaking be excellent?
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Is it bad that I want them to strive for perfection?
I know you can't actually be perfect. You know how
hard it is to repeat as a champion. And if
you're not focused, how can I trust.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You to be focused? You can't be focused for one
hundred and sixty two games.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
But this game, this team is not like last year's team.
The dominance that that last year's team was is not
this team. The offense is not the same as last
year's offense.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
So I understand that you cannot focus for one hundred
and sixty two games. But if you take your foot
off the gas against a team like the Angels. They
haven't beat the Brewers this year. They haven't beat teams
that are good and been consistently beating them.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Thank goodness. They beat the Padres and swept them.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yes, but is that more because the Padres don't know
how to play against the Dodgers in the pressure?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I am still don't take your foot off the gas now, Jason.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Do you feel like Manci does? I mean, is that
your takeaway from this weekend?
Speaker 7 (26:16):
I was encouraged. I was encouraged by the weekend. And
here's why. So on our nation's birthday was it July fourth?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
That was this year July fourth, they were nine games
up on the division. I think they went on to
lose like twenty two of twenty eight something crazy. So
I don't think that our skepticism on Friday was unwarranted.
But I will say this, everything that went wrong in
those six weeks or five weeks, they seemingly fixed in
(26:45):
one weekend. And we're talking about when Kershaw left with
a one one run lead on Friday night. I sent
a text to Mazi, Yeah, and I think Bersh and
Benson and I said, Okay, we all know what happens next.
You're gonna give up the They're going to go up
the lead and the pottery. Nope, they didn't. Saturday, they
got off to a big lead and they held it.
When was the last time we did that? Sunday? Another
(27:07):
thing was fixed? Mookie Betsy, Mookie bets and the clutch.
Where's that guy been so seemingly dan in a matter
of three games against our biggest nemesis. I'm not going
to use the word rival nemesis. We seemingly fixed everything
that had been ail ailing us for six weeks? What
his we?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
What's his we?
Speaker 7 (27:25):
And us business? By the way, I was there, Zach Broff.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
I think with Zach Broff and Chasate.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Whether it be in the National Football League, whether it
be in any other league, the key to repeating is
not being that super team throughout. It's trying to play
your best baseball or football when it starts to matter,
and there may be something that wakes you up. Listen,
the Brewers right now are in a spot where they're
(27:53):
about to try to add to their three to nothing
lead against the Cubs. So it would be fifteen wins
in sixteen games if they get this done. It's August eighteenth,
and for as great of a season as it has been,
there's no doubt Milwaukee is not going to be playing
the same baseball now that come October. Now it may
(28:13):
be a slight decrease. It's just tough to be at
your absolute best. So now it's just about peaking, Manzi.
So here we are midway through August, and I felt
the reason why I said what I said because it
wasn't to prove out that you were wrong. I was
just proving out that you and Jason are so negative,
of course, totally, and it's not that I predicted it.
My point was saying like, yeah, if you guys sweep,
(28:34):
you'll be two games up, and you've just gone through
an awful month and a half and you're two games
up in the NL West. That's my point. So now
the season kind of starts from here, and you've got
a new like a new reset point for the rest
of the season. And that's why I don't know if
the Dodgers will win the World Series. I don't know
if they'll repeat, but it's just a lot to ask
to do it throughout the season. So this provided a
(28:55):
great reset point for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
If I choose to not be logical with how I
cheer for my teams, that is on me.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Because yes, everything you said is correct. Yes, I hear you.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
It doesn't matter how the Dodgers made me have made
me feel this year.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You hear me, but you're not listening, correct, right, That's correct.
That's it. Yes, called a son, Yes, my son.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
I think that's what that SoundBite was. Between the harps
is what I told Sam. It's an old industry term.
Between the harps. That was that was a very measured
Dan Byer, who has zero emotional connection to a team,
predicting the three game sweep, which was pretty amazing. I'm
not going to not give you credit for that, true,
but it was also two people that I think were
(29:42):
very warranted in their concerns about a team going into
mid August against in the biggest series of the season.
So I'm going to defend our emotion. Yeah, and I'm
going to give Dan props for his uh.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
For me, it's a logical yeah, And you're right, and
you are right. I wish I was like, who cares?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
It's seeing the forest through the trees, Like I have
a different perspective than you guys on the what the
Dodgers are right now? Boat sweets in Dodgers are zero
to fourteen against the Angels, Brewers, and Astros this year.
Thanks about sixty eight and thirty eight you see against
everyone else.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Be sure to catch the live edition of the Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. She's Monte Milago. So
I'm Dan Byer in for Doug today on this Monday.
Isaac Glowing Crown is here, as is Jason Stewart and
Iowa Sam. Isaac's got the press for us. I just
wanted to quick jump into this before we get to
the press because Rob Manfred, commissioner a Major League Baseball,
(30:44):
was speaking at the Little League World Series yesterday and said,
we've got an opportunity to expand if we do, and
that would provide the opportunity to geographically realign Major League Baseball.
If you were to expand from thirty to thirty two teams,
we don't know where the two teams would be located.
(31:05):
That would be an interesting addition. A lot of markets
have been mentioned. Portland's been mentioned, Salt Lake city's been mentioned,
Nashville has been mentioned, Charlotte's been mentioned, Montreal has been mentioned,
a lot of different places that you could go with baseball,
But the fact of realignment would happen in baseball. As
Manfred said, he thinks that he would save a lot
(31:27):
of wear and tear on our players in terms of travel,
adding quote, I think our postseason format would be even
more appealing for entities like ESPN where he was speaking,
because you'd be playing out of the East and out
of the West. So a lot of changes could be
coming to Major League Baseball if Rob Manfred has his way.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
OK, can't we just do the geographic realignment anyway? If
you want to make it easier on these teams. I
feel like that's just an excuse. Oh, by adding teams,
we can do this. No, you can still do it
if you want it to.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I think there would be positives to adding some new teams.
I'm sure that revenue would be high if you put
a team in Nashville, But are you fixing the other
teams that don't seem to care about winning?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Right?
Speaker 3 (32:10):
So there's like other problems here where it's like I
get it. It sounds dandy. Let's do it, But why
don't you fix the other stuff first.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I would also hate to see us have fourteen divisions
if they went to thirty two teams.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Great thing about baseball that I love is the AL
and in the NL. Like I love the separate leagues,
I'm not a fan of interleague play. You now have
a schedule that is very balanced, So how about changing
the schedule so you don't have to travel as much
to all these corners of the world because everybody's got
to play everybody, or corners of the country where everybody
plays everybody. Why not just load up on divisional games,
(32:46):
make it two thirds three quarters of your season. I
know that may be a little boring, but that would
cut down on travel as well.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
And it was like that for many years and everyone survived,
and it made the Yankees coming to town extra special.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, yes, you know. I think. I also think that
the baseball's geographically align as much as it can right now,
unless you want to blow the whole thing up and
do away with all of the tradition, which I think
would be pretty absurd.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, it's it sounds cool, but there's so many other
problems with it that it's like fix that first.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
That's just it's like the Big Ten thinking they have
the plan to solve the playoff. Yeah, now they'll be like,
wait a Secon, this isn't what we want. What we
do want is Isaac lowing crown in the press, the press.
What's going on? Isaac?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Well?
Speaker 6 (33:35):
Lead off with quarterback news from the State of Ohio.
First of all, yes, they the Buckeyes. Ohio State has
named second year player Julian saying they're starting quarterback and
it'll be opening up with an eagerly anticipated matchup against
preseason number one Texas at Ohio Stadium. Julian saying last
(33:57):
year twenty seven offensive snaps over four games, completing five
of twelve for eighty four yards and two touchdowns, leading
talking heads all over America, including myself, to somehow overuse
the phrase I'm just saying in relates in relation to
this quarterback, I.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Would say, Isaac as well, give credit where credit is due.
Iowa Sam the get back music, the bump back music
that we had was tying into this story. Completely understand
where he was going with it, and honestly, no disrespect
to Lincoln Keenholtz who Julian Sand beat out. I think
ninety nine percent of the Ohio State fan base wanted
(34:34):
Julian sand to win the job he now has. We'll
see what he does with the keys to the vehicle and.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
The Cleveland Brown staying in Ohio. They've named Joe Flacco
their starting quarterback. Flaco one hundred and twenty seven years old, sorry,
forty years old, entering his eighteenth NFL season with one
hundred and ninety one regular season starts under his belt.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
That is Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. Okay. Also, none
of this is new information. We knew this, We knew
this week's ago.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
This is the crazy part when you just go back
a couple of years with Joe Flacco being on his couch.
He was on his couch, and now he's the best
option by far in Cleveland. So I don't know if
that was a misjudging by the NFL or a misjudging
on Joe Flacco and where he was or what his
career was. But we had the stint in Cleveland, then
(35:27):
this come off the couch, then the stint in Indianapolis,
and now back in Cleveland and he's QB one and.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
All that makes me think about is how Cleveland did.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Not take him back last year. Maybe they wouldn't be
in this position with seventeen quarters.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
You know what, it makes me think about us, You're right.
It also makes me think about how forgotten Joe Flacco's
Denver career was. Oh yeah, I don't even remember a highlight.
I can't even if you gave me a picture of
Joe Flacco in his Broncos uniform. Yes, exactly, the photoshop photoshop.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
Finally, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford practicing today for the first
time since the start of training camp as he recovers
from a back injury. Here was head coach Sean McVay.
Speaker 9 (36:13):
He did a good job today. I thought he looked good.
But you know, I don't really have any updates. You know,
I think there was a lot of uh intended information,
but there's no updates. We're going to keep it a
day and really a week at a time. But it's
great to be able to see him out there today,
and you know, we'll see how this afternoon goes and tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Here Sean mcvagh try to steal my line. Yeah, good job,
you try to steal it. Yeah, let it go.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Oh sean stop stop line.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
That's the press.
Speaker 4 (36:41):

Happy Monday, say goodbye to the weekend. I'm pretty soon
you're gonna be saying goodbye to summer. Officially not until
later in September, but Labor Day, two weeks from today.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
You know, summer here in LA has changed. Summer now
goes into October.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
It starts so late.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I feel like all the seasons have like shifted a
little bit, and now summer starts later.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
It hasn't even been that hot, and it's gonna get hotter.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
And I think it's gonna be Halloween and all those
skimpy costumes one that I may wear.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
It'll be perfect because it's gonna be hot.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So it was. It was a thanks Day after Thanksgiving,
a black Friday that I once put Christmas lights up
and it was ninety degrees and it was windy, is bleep,
but it was Yes, it was super one. November We're
becoming Australia here in southern California. Welcome, good eye mates,
(01:14):
It's the Doug Gottlieb Show. He's about as fowers. We're
going to go Doug's at Wrigleyfield today taking in Cubs brewers.
How about that? What a way to spend the Monday.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, good for you, Doug. We'll take over for you.
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I know if Doug was here for the segment we're
about to do, he would say that he loves going
to Wrigley Field checking out some day baseball. We're gonna
do something else. It's gonna have some love. It's also
going to have some hate.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
What did you love? God? I love you? And what
did you hate?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Meet these player haters. It's a Monday staple here on
The Doug Gottlieb Show. Jason Stewart, Isaac Low and cron
Iowa Sam hanging out with Monty and myself. What you
love about this weekend? What'd you hate about this weekend? Mancy,
I'm not gonna start with you. I'm giving you the
entire steering wheel. You get to pick who goes where?
(02:11):
Oh yes, who starts us out?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
We're gonna We're gonna go to Isaac Lohenkron to start
us off.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
All right, with some love from the weekend.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
All right, we will take you to Saturday evening Sofi
Stadium in Inglewood, Los Angeles Chargers in Los Angeles Rams
in an otherwise unimportant and uninteresting preseason game, but a
thrilling moment in the fourth quarter with six forty five remaining,
(02:43):
as Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett had his pass intercepted by
a previously well widely unknown Los Angeles Chargers defensive lineman
named t row Edwards t Ri Edwards, who weighs in
at three hundred and five pounds, an undrafted rookie out
of Illinois, and he joyously rumbled for a twenty seven
(03:05):
yard return. And not to get too emotional or weepy
or smoopy, as my wife called it about this, but
that's actually one of the cool things about preseason football
to see an undrafted person that is completely out of
the radar just make a really great play, stand out play,
and have a moment in the sun. There was another
(03:27):
undrafted player named Luke Grimm in that game who returned
to punt sixty six yards for a touchdown. Some guys
who may never make it in the NFL that that
literally might be their one moment that they'll remember and
their loved ones will remember for the rest of their lives.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I'd love that. Can I love that?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah? You can. If the Chargers were in hard knocks,
that would be twenty eight minutes of this week's episode
would be just on.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
That play right right after Justin Herbert has a smoothie.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yes, yes, I love it because there's nothing, nothing at
all investigative or diving deep. They love the cherry on
top stories, and that was one of them from Saturday.
It's a good Isaac had pre and post game duties
for Chargers Football, so I knew it wasn't going to
be a ram. I knew it wasn't going to be
Stetson Bennett. I knew that was not going to be
(04:17):
the case.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
All right, why don't we go to our producer, Jason. Jason,
what did you.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Love about the thank you Montie?
Speaker 7 (04:24):
I'll take it from here. I went to the game
Saturday night, Saturday Night, Dodgers padres second of three wins.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
I'll take it from here.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
We'll get to we'll get to the Sweetwater on But
I want to just talk about my experience because it's
all about me. Every once in a while, you have
important people get you tickets to games. It was my
super hot girl friend Christina's birthday, so we birthday. We
got first class treatment. So our seats were kind of
behind home place. Saw that first, first or second, real
(04:57):
nice seats, and then we got access to of the
dugout club. This is how the other people live. Monzy
knows all about this, but poor people that work in
radio like us don't really get this. You go down
to the Dugout Club and you're eating on the Dodgers
dime anything you want to eat, hot dogs, down to
(05:17):
chicken that's very well made. I can't whoever the word is.
And then you know you're you're you're buying your beer.
But like it's just the way people on the other
side live you're talking about. We saw I saw Jason
Bateman walk down there. Nice another star that I saw
that that Gray's pass what's his name? What's his name?
(05:41):
From Scrubs? Yes, anyways, that's my weekend. I loved it.
Love my Dodgers experience.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Congratulations. That is a nice experience in the Dougout Club.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Like Zach braff is on the top of my list
of celebrities that annoy me.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
That's what I told him.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I said that to him because his Punked episode, he
came off like a total jerk.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I didn't love PUNKD, so I didn't watch it a
lot like I watched.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It, and I told on some people it did.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, because some people don't handle it.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, correct, And I felt like he was one of them.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
You know, I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised he gives
that vibe off. And I didn't watch a lot of
Scrubs either, but he gives.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Up a very braffy so it just comes off very braffy.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Damn, why don't you continue with bray and what you
loved about the weekend?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So I took my son to the driving range on Saturday,
and he's learning golf. He's four years old. But we
were we were at the far end of the range
and someone came right next to us, and I told
the guy, said, listen, he is just learning. He holds
(06:54):
the golf club like it's a hockey stick, Like this
is how he's swinging. The clubs are probably too big
for him. Happy gil in you may be in harm's way.
He goes, don't worry about it. I'm just gonna hit
a couple. I said, all right, because I was at
the hitting Babe Brody and I were alternating. Brody's sitting
in the chair behind me. I hear, watch the guy
(07:15):
hit a shot there it is my son yells bad shot.
And I was mortified, yet I could not. I had
to scold him to say, like, you can't yell bad
shot at someone else's shot. But I felt so bad,
yet I was trying not to laugh because it was
(07:36):
so funny. I did say, you cannot say that on
the golf course, like imagine, like even like if buddies
would do it to me and totally get under my skin,
let alone a perfect stranger who just showed up. The
guy nice enough to admit. A couple of minutes later,
he goes, by the way, it was a bad shot,
like so like, so Brody's got an eye on what
is a good shot and a bad shot. But I
(07:58):
took him to the course couple times this weekend, and
that was yeah, that was Saturday night when he told
the guy next to me that he just hit an
awful seven.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
Toddy Bayer the David Ferrite.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
Olds bar did say that Darnedes. Yeah right, they got
no filter. Here'll let you have it. Here's the other
part that I love.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Every time that I would swing, he would yell, that's
what I'm talking about. And and some of mine were fat,
they were blocks to the right, they were duck hooks.
You know. It was. He was my biggest cheerleader, which
I I appreciate.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
You love that. What is it when you say it
was fat?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So I give you you'll hit the ground before you first. Yeah, yes,
you'll hit the ground before you hit the ball. So
you go okay with the ball. If you were to
just say, hit just on the bottom of the club
and just hit the ball and it's a low line drive,
hit it thin, that sort of deal.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Me got it, got it. That's amazing. So we were
We were proud and embarrassed all at the same time. Yes,
good times. I always Sam, What did you love about
the weekend?
Speaker 8 (08:59):
So love and hate come from the same day. I'll
start with my day starts with the love and it
ends with the hate. This was Saturday, so uh. It
was our editor Ryan Berschinger. It was his birthday earlier
this week, and he invited us some people to take
the train from Seami Valley up to Santa Barbara and
kind of go around.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You know, uh, I don't know you Canci.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Did you get this invitation?
Speaker 8 (09:22):
She was the first one I guaranteed had she had
other other things she had It was your working also.
Oh yes, okay, Monci's very much in demand. But we
can Manzi cannot join us, So we made our way
up to Santa Barbara. Wonderful train ride or you know,
it's not a booze cruise, so it's I don't know,
it's a train rhyme.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I don't know. We can Come on, Dan, you're the
pun guy. Here is a train. I just can't believe
I wasn't invited. That's I'm sorry, stuck on. Sorry, Yes,
I'm sure you would have. Let's just ask him for
a friend. Could you go back into their wedding invite
and take away the gifts you gave him? Are you behalf?
You're not invited as well?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Just have we started?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Honest?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Did?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I'm sure Dan you would have.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
You would have joined us at ten o'clock in the
morning for a Red Bull in vodka get things started.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
He could have had the red bull.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
We could have waltzed and then we waltzed over the.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
Train anyway, So we go down to Santa barb Love
of the sun eventually came out in the afternoon. We
were sipping wine, beers, eating, drinking and it was just
a lovely day. It was a lovely day till we
got back on the train. And I will save I
will say that after.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
They hate, I do love. Sam could have just said
I went up to Santa Barbara with friends this weekend,
but he watched the name drop for everybody else that
will follow in his stead today.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Turn that screw one more knowledge.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Yes, I had to involve FSR, you know, make it
FSR centric.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yes, I'll wrap it up and I'll keep it short here. Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You know, I had a busy Saturday and I had
a long drive, and we work in sports and sometimes
you just want to like tune sports out right. You
were kind of like, I don't want to listen to
this game, I don't want to listen to anybody talk
about anything. And I put on a a crime junkie
podcast and for ninety minutes I forgot that I was
in traffic, and I just appreciated that for I did
not know that ninety minutes of seeing in traffic, I
(11:08):
was gonna walk away and be like, damn, that girl's
still missing.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I wonder where she's at. I wonder if they're ever
going to find her.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Like it, I thank you to Crime Junkie Podcasts for
separating me from traffic and sports for ninety minutes. That
I needed that, And sometimes you just don't know where
to turn to crime Jo And.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
She traveled three point two miles in that ninety minute,
so that was even better. I could have ran it,
I'd say, traffic in this city, So I thinks I.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Know I could have ran it faster, could have ran
it faster.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
All right, let's get to our hates. Yeah, all right,
all right, you got the steering wheel.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Do you want to kick us off?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Dan?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
What did you hate about the weekend?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I hate the Big Tens proposal of twenty four to
twenty eight teams for the college football playoff. Okay, their
heart was in the right place. I think that they
they're sticking to a model where it would have four
automatic qualifiers with the Big ten, the SEC, a couple
for the S or the ACC, and the Big twelve,
and then you would have a group of five and
(12:06):
three automatic qualifiers. The Big Ten has also floated the
idea of instead of having our top two teams play
for a conference championship game, we would have the third
best team play the sixth best team, and the fourth
place team play the fifth place team, and the winner
of those two could be the automatic qualifiers along with
the top two teams in this sixteen team model. Then
they thought to themselves, well, wait, why would our teams
(12:28):
have to play our teams? Why not just include all
of our schools and then the SEC can include all
of theirs and they'll play each other instead, and we
don't have to knock each other out. Why don't we
have a twenty four to twenty eighteen bracket. You can
see the reasoning, but it's gone so far off the tracks.
No one wants this. Nobody would want this. No one
(12:48):
wants big noon kickoff at Wisconsin at Maryland on a
Saturday for the seventh spot in the Big Ten to
possibly make the playoffs. Nobody wants that their heart may
have been in the right place, and the deductive reasoning
of how we could do this and make this work
is fine. There's not a single person around that would
want to see college football go to a twenty eighteen playoff?
(13:10):
Not at all. I hope I speak for everyone, Sam.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Why don't you finish out why you hit it about
the weekend and then just give it?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Do you agree with I hear you?
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Dan?
Speaker 9 (13:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I do?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Okay, Yeah, okay, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Don't like it. You don't like it?
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Dan?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Here?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
So picking up a from Anna barbera train story.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, Eringer's birthday.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
It went off and you you said used the tournament.
Something went off the the idea went off the tracks. Yeah,
well my return trip didn't go off the tracks literally physically.
Would have saw it on the news? Yes, you would have.
So we're all getting into the train. The sun's going down.
We're all pretty faded. It's been a long day of
imbibing and waltzing about Santa Barbara on the lovely day. Anyway,
(13:51):
we must have stumbled upon the train car that was
holding the group on dot com sixteenth Annual Ladies Be
Shopping Convention because this woman had this one woman named Trina.
She started walking up and down the aisles and all
these women were like cheering and drinking.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And then you can drink alcohol. They serve alcohol in
the train.
Speaker 8 (14:09):
This woman named Trina had a whistle and she kept whistling,
and people had like a boombox, and we were just
like trying to relax, and this this woman was just
like turn it into the party train. And it was
really fun at first, and then you were like, Okay,
we're all exhausted and this woman is blowing this whistle
in my ear as she's passing by. So it went
from like an hour and a half train ride that
was supposed to be just enjoyable and relaxing, and it
(14:31):
was just ridiculously annoying. And then we would make stops
and then we'd be at like the Ventura stop for
fifteen minutes and we're supposed to be only there for
like one minute and take off. So by the time
we finally got back, we were all just exhausted and
irritable and at that point needed another drink to cope
with the ladies be shopping convention or whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
We stumbled upon that sounds like a Fox Sports Sunday
two to five party, singing people's blowing whistles, taking videos,
the whole deal.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
I I, yes, I would consent to that, but I
did not consent to this.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
This woman was very lively.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
She was having a great time, and I just sat
there and Grandon barried it because I didn't want to
poop pool on her good time.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
But it was quite the return trip back. It was wild, wild,
Poor Trina. She got caught a stray. She's at work
right now, has no idea. She's just been throwing under
the bus. And only is she a chopaholic.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
She's annoying it and we're putting her glass on national radio.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
Well, I mean, you know by the end of it,
where I was kind of hating on treeing on a
little bit. So that's my hate, all right, you know what,
she had a good time, So what can you say.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I'm gonna tell you what I hated about the weekend.
I hated the Rams attempt to deceive me that Matthew
Stafford is not well. What is he well or is
he not? Because I'm over here having discussions that the
Rams need to move on from Matthew.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Stafford and that he's not doing well.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
He's thirty seven with his back issues, and they're like,
he was supposed to practice Saturday, but we'll give me,
We're gonna make an announcement on Monday. That sounds really bad.
And then you come out today and you're like, oh, no,
he had a good practice, a whole hour.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
He's fine. Stop deceiving me. He is not. Okay, it
feels very.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Remember last year before the season started how the forty
nine ers hand handled Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Oh, I hated that.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I feel like it's not yes, yes, And it's obviously
even worse with Christian McAffrey because of the fantasy and
people drafting him number one overall and then he's not.
But it's like, stop telling me half truths when it
comes to Matthew Stafford, please, because.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
I'm over here having arguments with Kerry and then here
he is, Oh he's fine. Then what am I arguing?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
To your point though, for them to not play Jimmy
Garoppolo at all the season tells us what we need
to know about Matthew.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Stafford exactly exactly. But no, no, he's fine. He had a
whole hour of practice day. Give me a break, Rams,
Jase too, what did you hate about the weekend?
Speaker 7 (16:50):
So I did too way too much Twitter. I shouldn't
be on Twitter as much as I am. So the
people that want it both ways. Okay, So h NFL
Twitter this weekend downplayed Caleb Williams nice quarter or nice
drive by saying it's only preseason. These were the same
(17:11):
group of idiots that overplayed and over analyzed him missing
the net three times in practice, So which one? Which
one is it? You're going to overplay him missing the
net three times in a practice and then downplay when
he does well in the game. You can't have it
both ways. You just want to be negative, Nancy, no
(17:32):
matter what happens, and I just don't Joe with that. Dan,
I'm an overly positive guy.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Definitely.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
It's funny how literally all of us laughed when he said.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
That people think that Jason's full name is resident hater
Jason Stewart because of how often Doug says it here
or what was that term that Jim Rome gave me?
Benign troll? That's what you are.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
It got me a benign troll recently.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I like you agree with that.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I did like Caleb Williams this weekend, We're going to
dive into that right a little bit.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
We had moved past it. But that's okay, No, No,
we can't. No, that's okay. That's all right, No, we
can absolutely do it.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
No, I just but it's exactly what Jason Stewart kind
of was talking about. I was annoyed at the negative
reports of how training camp is going when it's like, yo,
he has a new coach, it's a whole new thing
he's learning and does preseason not matter because you could
tell me it doesn't matter, and then he goes out
and does a good job and it's like nothing.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
So I'm rooting for him.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I think that the expectations are so absurd with him.
And this is the point I made with Mike Harmon yesterday,
is if he's the first overall pick, we can't sit
there and cherry pick even if he was thought to
be the generational talent. So like cam Ward, Caleb Williams
should have the same sort of expectations even if their
(18:51):
situations aren't different, which means and by saying that is
Caleb Williams shouldn't be so high and maybe cam Ward
shouldn't be so low first overall pick of a drafts
there should just be a pocket where you need to
be in of Caleb Williams, and I used Philip Rivers
as an example of if you had Philip Rivers career,
which by the way, would be zero Super Bowl appearances
(19:13):
and zero Super Bowl wins. I think for a Bears fan,
you would you would run to the counter, yes, cash
that in that guy. It would be worth that that
pick to draft that sort of guy. But I think
everybody wants him to be Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton
Manning and this this generational talent, and I just I
think that that's what's unfair to him in the expectations
(19:36):
and we view in how we view how good he is.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Absolutely part of the reason I'm rooting for him, And
in reality, I feel like all the pressure in that
division should be going to the Packers anyway, isaink yesizic.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Low and crime.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
At first I hated this because I felt bad for
the guy, but now I secretly think it's hilarious, particularly
with how gracious he handled it. While Scotti Scheffler was
winning the BMW Championship, a golfer named Ben Griffin yesterday
had a horrible start six overpar over the first three
holes yesterday. The reason why he accidentally overdosed on creatine,
(20:12):
He'll explain.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
And I had this like basically a snowball of creatine.
So I'd been in my bucket for probably like a month,
and I like broke it up and put in my
water bottle whatever, like I'm all good, Like I've taken
creatine on like off first before, it's fine. But I
started taking it after my second shot and I accidentally
swallowed like one of the one of the big rocks
kind of that was in my water bottle. And I've
(20:34):
never overdosed on creatine before, but I think I did
in the moment because I didn't really drink any water
after that. I basically just enaled like a snowball, and
so I started getting like super shaky, and I've never
felt like this before, and I literally felt like I got trimmers.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
So good on him for just explaining in a good
natured way. And once the overdose was gone, he was
seven under over the last fifteen holes, So that overdosing
on creating on a golf course.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
That's the first time I heard that.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
He four putted from five feet, which I mean.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
That's four putting, yes, so four attempts yes to get Wow,
that's not good.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
You should make the Ryder Cup team. He should. It's
not an automatic qualifier. But that decision we'll find out.
It'll be when Keg and Bradley has to make. But
Ben Griffin's been very, very good this year, and he's
good with social media as well, and good and explaining
what happened to him.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Right, And that's what we love and hated about the weekend.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I will say this, I love that Fox change their
on screen graphics. Their score bug is what we use
for the Super Bowl. The KC and the PHI with
Philadelphia and Kansas City were way too big, way too awkward.
Last night in the game between the Bears and Bills,
they just used their logos.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
So much better and so much better.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
And so that I'm hoping when the Buccaneers where their
throwback uniforms the creamsicles and when the Seahawks were theirs.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
You want to see that guy the throwback?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yes, I want to see Bucko Bruce. I want to
see the old Seahawk. I don't want to see the
new logo at all. She is Moncy Blogos. I'm Dan Byer.

Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

Speaker 2 (22:26):
And so what Trina was trying to do. On Saturday
Stug Gotlimb show Fox Sports Radio. I'm Dan Byer, She's
Moncey Blagos something that Iowa. Sam loved his train ridal
half of it, at least on What a great weekend
it was. It was a great weekend for Dodger fans.
Jason Stewart is here as I can want, cron at
the news desk, and my, what a difference of seventy
(22:49):
two hours? Do you remember?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I don't know if I'm feeling different. I don't know
if I'm feeling different.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I'll tell you what on Friday, if you missed it,
Moncey and I were in for a good four here
on Fox Sports Radio. We're in for Doug. We also
were in later for Cavino and Rich. We were talking baseball,
and this was in advance of the series. You know,
Jason sag Padre's Dodgers on Saturday night. But we kind
of had a conversation amongst us three about where the
(23:16):
Dodgers were currently as a team, because on Friday they
weren't in first place. They were a game back of
the Padres. Here's our exchange. If you need a refresher, monosh,
this you need a refresher. This is what it sounded
like on Friday when MONSI and Jason were in panic
mode on the Dodgers, and I basically just told them
(23:37):
to chill.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
No, no, no, you should have been just turning it
on this whole time, or at least trying to. But
I'm on, Jason, where's the urgency again? Where is the
want to win?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You know, you guys are it's really rich to hear this,
like it truly is. I mean, it's it's August fifteenth.
If you sweep the series tonight, you leave the weekend
with two game lead over the Padres, and you beat
your current, maybe not forever rival, but a current rival,
and this weekend can change everything.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Oh wow, Isaac, can we get.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
An updated look at the NLS standings right now?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Well, first of all, it is just being reported by
multiple sources close to Fox Sports Radio that Dave Roberts
actually played that SoundBite in the clubhouse the game for
his team first place, the Los Angeles Dodgers by a
whopping enormous two game margin over the San Diego Padres.
(24:42):
But after those words by Dan, it might as well
be twenty geez.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I mean seriously, season is turned around now one three
in a row.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Here's another tweet. Dodger players vote Dan Buyer a preemptive
World Series share.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Oh wow, congratulations.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yes, and then you can get one for the Brewers.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
And then all of a sudden you.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Got a full share.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Oh yeah, dah.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I know you're trying to call me out here, but
the reality is like, I don't feel.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I am not trying to call you out.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I just.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Guess is it bad that I want my team to
freaking be excellent?
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Is it bad that I want them to strive for perfection?
I know you can't actually be perfect. You know how
hard it is to repeat as a champion. And if
you're not focused, how can I trust.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You to be focused? You can't be focused for one
hundred and sixty two games.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
But this game, this team is not like last year's team.
The dominance that that last year's team was is not
this team. The offense is not the same as last
year's offense.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
So I understand that you cannot focus for one hundred
and sixty two games. But if you take your foot
off the gas against a team like the Angels. They
haven't beat the Brewers this year. They haven't beat teams
that are good and been consistently beating them.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Thank goodness. They beat the Padres and swept them.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yes, but is that more because the Padres don't know
how to play against the Dodgers in the pressure?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I am still don't take your foot off the gas now, Jason.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Do you feel like Manci does? I mean, is that
your takeaway from this weekend?
Speaker 7 (26:16):
I was encouraged. I was encouraged by the weekend. And
here's why. So on our nation's birthday was it July fourth?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
That was this year July fourth, they were nine games
up on the division. I think they went on to
lose like twenty two of twenty eight something crazy. So
I don't think that our skepticism on Friday was unwarranted.
But I will say this, everything that went wrong in
those six weeks or five weeks, they seemingly fixed in
(26:45):
one weekend. And we're talking about when Kershaw left with
a one one run lead on Friday night. I sent
a text to Mazi, Yeah, and I think Bersh and
Benson and I said, Okay, we all know what happens next.
You're gonna give up the They're going to go up
the lead and the pottery. Nope, they didn't. Saturday, they
got off to a big lead and they held it.
When was the last time we did that? Sunday? Another
(27:07):
thing was fixed? Mookie Betsy, Mookie bets and the clutch.
Where's that guy been so seemingly dan in a matter
of three games against our biggest nemesis. I'm not going
to use the word rival nemesis. We seemingly fixed everything
that had been ail ailing us for six weeks? What
his we?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
What's his we?
Speaker 7 (27:25):
And us business? By the way, I was there, Zach Broff.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
I think with Zach Broff and Chasate.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Whether it be in the National Football League, whether it
be in any other league, the key to repeating is
not being that super team throughout. It's trying to play
your best baseball or football when it starts to matter,
and there may be something that wakes you up. Listen,
the Brewers right now are in a spot where they're
(27:53):
about to try to add to their three to nothing
lead against the Cubs. So it would be fifteen wins
in sixteen games if they get this done. It's August eighteenth,
and for as great of a season as it has been,
there's no doubt Milwaukee is not going to be playing
the same baseball now that come October. Now it may
(28:13):
be a slight decrease. It's just tough to be at
your absolute best. So now it's just about peaking, Manzi.
So here we are midway through August, and I felt
the reason why I said what I said because it
wasn't to prove out that you were wrong. I was
just proving out that you and Jason are so negative,
of course, totally, and it's not that I predicted it.
My point was saying like, yeah, if you guys sweep,
(28:34):
you'll be two games up, and you've just gone through
an awful month and a half and you're two games
up in the NL West. That's my point. So now
the season kind of starts from here, and you've got
a new like a new reset point for the rest
of the season. And that's why I don't know if
the Dodgers will win the World Series. I don't know
if they'll repeat, but it's just a lot to ask
to do it throughout the season. So this provided a
(28:55):
great reset point for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
If I choose to not be logical with how I
cheer for my teams, that is on me.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Because yes, everything you said is correct. Yes, I hear you.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
It doesn't matter how the Dodgers made me have made
me feel this year.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You hear me, but you're not listening, correct, right, That's correct.
That's it. Yes, called a son, Yes, my son.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
I think that's what that SoundBite was. Between the harps
is what I told Sam. It's an old industry term.
Between the harps. That was that was a very measured
Dan Byer, who has zero emotional connection to a team,
predicting the three game sweep, which was pretty amazing. I'm
not going to not give you credit for that, true,
but it was also two people that I think were
(29:42):
very warranted in their concerns about a team going into
mid August against in the biggest series of the season.
So I'm going to defend our emotion. Yeah, and I'm
going to give Dan props for his uh.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
For me, it's a logical yeah, And you're right, and
you are right. I wish I was like, who cares?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
It's seeing the forest through the trees, Like I have
a different perspective than you guys on the what the
Dodgers are right now? Boat sweets in Dodgers are zero
to fourteen against the Angels, Brewers, and Astros this year.
Thanks about sixty eight and thirty eight you see against
everyone else.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Be sure to catch the live edition of the Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. She's Monte Milago. So
I'm Dan Byer in for Doug today on this Monday.
Isaac Glowing Crown is here, as is Jason Stewart and
Iowa Sam. Isaac's got the press for us. I just
wanted to quick jump into this before we get to
the press because Rob Manfred, commissioner a Major League Baseball,
(30:44):
was speaking at the Little League World Series yesterday and said,
we've got an opportunity to expand if we do, and
that would provide the opportunity to geographically realign Major League Baseball.
If you were to expand from thirty to thirty two teams,
we don't know where the two teams would be located.
(31:05):
That would be an interesting addition. A lot of markets
have been mentioned. Portland's been mentioned, Salt Lake city's been mentioned,
Nashville has been mentioned, Charlotte's been mentioned, Montreal has been mentioned,
a lot of different places that you could go with baseball,
But the fact of realignment would happen in baseball. As
Manfred said, he thinks that he would save a lot
(31:27):
of wear and tear on our players in terms of travel,
adding quote, I think our postseason format would be even
more appealing for entities like ESPN where he was speaking,
because you'd be playing out of the East and out
of the West. So a lot of changes could be
coming to Major League Baseball if Rob Manfred has his way.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
OK, can't we just do the geographic realignment anyway? If
you want to make it easier on these teams. I
feel like that's just an excuse. Oh, by adding teams,
we can do this. No, you can still do it
if you want it to.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I think there would be positives to adding some new teams.
I'm sure that revenue would be high if you put
a team in Nashville, But are you fixing the other
teams that don't seem to care about winning?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Right?
Speaker 3 (32:10):
So there's like other problems here where it's like I
get it. It sounds dandy. Let's do it, But why
don't you fix the other stuff first.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I would also hate to see us have fourteen divisions
if they went to thirty two teams.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Great thing about baseball that I love is the AL
and in the NL. Like I love the separate leagues,
I'm not a fan of interleague play. You now have
a schedule that is very balanced, So how about changing
the schedule so you don't have to travel as much
to all these corners of the world because everybody's got
to play everybody, or corners of the country where everybody
plays everybody. Why not just load up on divisional games,
(32:46):
make it two thirds three quarters of your season. I
know that may be a little boring, but that would
cut down on travel as well.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
And it was like that for many years and everyone survived,
and it made the Yankees coming to town extra special.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, yes, you know. I think. I also think that
the baseball's geographically align as much as it can right now,
unless you want to blow the whole thing up and
do away with all of the tradition, which I think
would be pretty absurd.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, it's it sounds cool, but there's so many other
problems with it that it's like fix that first.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
That's just it's like the Big Ten thinking they have
the plan to solve the playoff. Yeah, now they'll be like,
wait a Secon, this isn't what we want. What we
do want is Isaac lowing crown in the press, the press.
What's going on? Isaac?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Well?
Speaker 6 (33:35):
Lead off with quarterback news from the State of Ohio.
First of all, yes, they the Buckeyes. Ohio State has
named second year player Julian saying they're starting quarterback and
it'll be opening up with an eagerly anticipated matchup against
preseason number one Texas at Ohio Stadium. Julian saying last
(33:57):
year twenty seven offensive snaps over four games, completing five
of twelve for eighty four yards and two touchdowns, leading
talking heads all over America, including myself, to somehow overuse
the phrase I'm just saying in relates in relation to
this quarterback, I.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Would say, Isaac as well, give credit where credit is due.
Iowa Sam the get back music, the bump back music
that we had was tying into this story. Completely understand
where he was going with it, and honestly, no disrespect
to Lincoln Keenholtz who Julian Sand beat out. I think
ninety nine percent of the Ohio State fan base wanted
(34:34):
Julian sand to win the job he now has. We'll
see what he does with the keys to the vehicle and.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
The Cleveland Brown staying in Ohio. They've named Joe Flacco
their starting quarterback. Flaco one hundred and twenty seven years old, sorry,
forty years old, entering his eighteenth NFL season with one
hundred and ninety one regular season starts under his belt.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
That is Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. Okay. Also, none
of this is new information. We knew this, We knew
this week's ago.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
This is the crazy part when you just go back
a couple of years with Joe Flacco being on his couch.
He was on his couch, and now he's the best
option by far in Cleveland. So I don't know if
that was a misjudging by the NFL or a misjudging
on Joe Flacco and where he was or what his
career was. But we had the stint in Cleveland, then
(35:27):
this come off the couch, then the stint in Indianapolis,
and now back in Cleveland and he's QB one and.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
All that makes me think about is how Cleveland did.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Not take him back last year. Maybe they wouldn't be
in this position with seventeen quarters.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
You know what, it makes me think about us, You're right.
It also makes me think about how forgotten Joe Flacco's
Denver career was. Oh yeah, I don't even remember a highlight.
I can't even if you gave me a picture of
Joe Flacco in his Broncos uniform. Yes, exactly, the photoshop photoshop.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
Finally, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford practicing today for the first
time since the start of training camp as he recovers
from a back injury. Here was head coach Sean McVay.
Speaker 9 (36:13):
He did a good job today. I thought he looked good.
But you know, I don't really have any updates. You know,
I think there was a lot of uh intended information,
but there's no updates. We're going to keep it a
day and really a week at a time. But it's
great to be able to see him out there today,
and you know, we'll see how this afternoon goes and tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Here Sean mcvagh try to steal my line. Yeah, good job,
you try to steal it. Yeah, let it go.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Oh sean stop stop line.
Speaker 2 (36:40):

Speaker 4 (36:41):

Monty knows this. I love when they say street clothes,
like I think Matthew Stafford shows up in jeans and
like a nice shirt, Like like, it's clothes you would
wear on the street, maybe if you're younger, a more
hip generation, or just something you'd want to wear out
to dinner. That's street clothes. Not your team assigned to
perild hooding. No street clothes.
