Green Bay. We had thunderstorms last night. You were talking
about possible thunderstorms and still water Oklahoma. So you guys
(00:45):
are going to the football game, right, You're going to
the Arizona State Oklahoma State homecoming game.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Correct, that's the plan? Yeah, Dan, What are.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Your thoughts on Oklahoma State when they're they're kind of
made up throwback uniforms where they go back to the Aggies.
They almost like an Avengers a with some some striping
on it. There's a lot going on there. Let's go
to dan By, our uniforms expert Danny.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
A lot going on the striping on these sleeves and
then I believe on the socks as well. Yeah, it's
it is quite distracting, maybe distracting from the Big Twelve
conference record right now.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I think that'd be great if we get distract from
the fact that oklahom State hasn't won a game in
the Big Twelve despite being picked to win the Big Twelve,
that would be great. I love the distractions.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I love Oklahoma State's uniforms, and they're one of the
few schools when they actually switch it up, they still
have really good versions. Whether it's the script cowboys, whether
it's the uh what is it pistol pete, the uh
the you know, the actual cowboy and the helmets. They
all look good and I would rather than wear one
of those when I'm in attendance at the game. But
(01:49):
these are okay. I think they're gonna be a little
tough for people to get used to on screen with
the stripes on the on the on the sleeves, but
they usually do a do you get Oklahoma State does?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I would?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I would agree, I think, and just so you know
the original president of Oklahoma Stake. I believe that the story.
I never like fact checked it, but he came from
Princeton and Oklahoma State originally was the Tigers. And that's
why people like me say it's the Princeton of the Planes,
because that's actually what they called it a long time
(02:22):
ago when his Oklahoma A and M was the Princeton
of the planes. And that's where the orange and black
comes from. You go a little fun factoid. That's some
other fun fact toys. It's Thursday. It's a throwback Thursday.
Don't believe me. Listen to this.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Don't call it a throwback Thursday.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
We want don't call it a throwback Thursday. This is
where we won't talk about sports. But of course, you
know Jay Stu wants to be an FM morning DJ,
and we know that. You know, we all grew up
on Rick D's in the morning. Rick D's in the morning,
tell us what time it is and tell us what
the climb it is anyway, so we kind of blend
(03:03):
the two here on a Thursday. What year are we
doing there?
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Jays Dooo, it's funny you mentioned that, Doug, And thank
you a I'll take it from here. You had the
Rick DS thing. I always loved the twenty four hour
news station in town KNX KFWB, and it went.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Like this, There was two, there's kN next ten seventy
new radio.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
And remember KFWB was KFWB News ninety eight. You give
us twenty two minutes old the world, traffic on the twos,
weather on the ones. Anyways, I want to take us
back to twenty ten. Let's get in the south and
the time machine and go back to twenty ten. O Jays, Yep,
(03:45):
there it is. The Texans played the Jets. Texans played
the Jets. I don't know if any of you remember
this night, but think about who the Jets were in
twenty ten. The Jets were Rex Ryan and that amazing defense.
The Jets were also Mark Sanchez. He did just enough
to lead them to a division title. He did just
(04:08):
enough to beat the Texans on this night on November
twenty first, twenty ten. Of course, the Texans were led
by Arian Foster, who had his best single season. He
rushed for over sixteen hundred yards that year. Gary Kubiak
was a head coach of the Texans.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Matt that's a weird name for a black running back
right Arian Foster.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yea interesting guy, too interesting guy.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Totally interesting guy, and really really talented.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
I agree. So yeah, that night Jets played the Texans.
Just like tonight, Mark Sanchez led the Jets over the
Texans thirty to twenty seven. Rex Ryan give up more
points than he typically did, but he made it work. Dan,
you remember anything else from that NFL season that comes
to mind?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Twenty ten was a season where in the Super Bowl
that was played in the actual year was Saints Colts,
but the season that we have as a whole was
one where Pete Carroll made his debut as the Seahawks
head coach. So that hits home for me because that
was the turnaround or the start of the turnaround. It
(05:16):
was the season that gave them the Beast quake. They
won the division had seven to nine in twenty ten,
but probably most notably known for the miraculous playoff run
then by the Green Bay Packers on their way to
winning the Super Bowl. But twenty ten leave Tom Brady
won the NFL MVP that season, So the yes twenty ten,
(05:40):
that's what stands out to me.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
In the National Football.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
League, Aaron Rodgers beat the Steelers and the Super Bowl. Yes,
and just to bring it around full circle, the Steelers
beat the rex Ryans Jets in the AFC title Game. So,
I mean, this thing just has so many of the
same connections it's scary. Sam you Murray from twenty ten, Well.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
I remember that Packers run and they finished they got
I think they got the wild card at ten and six.
They had to beat the Bears to capture the wild card,
and then of course they would end up playing the
Bears in the NFC title game. It's where Jay Cutler
got hurt and everyone gave him crap for it because,
I you know, in came the backup.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
But he would just never hear the end of that.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
But yeah, I remember Aaron Rodgers playing a game I
think it like the Lions and getting a concussion. There
was a lot of worry about his health and the team.
And they get to ten and six and then they
just they just started destroying people on the way their
way to the Super Bowl Championship. I will say something
about that Jets team. One of my all time favorite Hawkeyes,
(06:42):
Sean Green, was sort of the featured running back for
those Jets when they went to the back to back
AFC title games.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
So that was that was cool with what Danian Tomlinson
in the last couple years of his career.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Though, I made I not about that good call, good poll.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
And that Packers run the first game of that run
because you mentioned the Bears the end of the regular season.
It was even the week before they beat the New
York Giants Atlama Field day after Christmas. I was home
for Christmas. I went to that game, and that was
the start of the run where you could kind of
all of a sudden start to see. I also think
that's the run where people now would never count out
Aaron Rodgers because of what they did that season to
(07:18):
go and win that Super Bowl. But that started in yeah,
late December of twenty ten.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Relax, that was a year the Lakers beat the Celtics, right, yes,
and people forget the in game seven, Game seven, the
final score was eighty three seventy ninety yikes, and Kobe
Bryant scored twenty three points on twenty six field goals
and really run our test may probably save the day.
(07:45):
But an epic seven game showdown where the Lakers returned
home down three games to two after the Celtics won
both Games four and five, and Game six was an
absolute pummeling at the end the Lakers. The Celtic scored
only sixty seven points and Game seven was ugly and
(08:05):
the Lakers survived eighty three seventy nine.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Was that the series where Paul Pierce almost died?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
No, that was no, that was the thing.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Oh wow, two years off. I'm way off on the
talking about it. When he came into the wheelchair.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Yeah yeah, but there's the speculation that maybe he had
had an accident in his pants or something like that.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yes, that's the speculation.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hey, it happens, right, speculation.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, what what are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I think the most memorable game of twenty ten when
it comes to hoops, and I know Doug knows, this
was the National championship game that year. Game that we
reference a lot in late game situations or if we're
talking about Cinderellas, that was Duke Butler in Indianapolis that year.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
So what happened in that game was Duke. And like,
there's a lot of different interesting parts of Duke. So
Duke really played one way defensively for maybe the last
fifteen years. Mike Ryzewski's career, they just extended pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure,
and a lot of times that would lead to their
downfalls if people could break that pressure. But if you couldn't,
(09:10):
you just couldn't run offense against them. Well, that season
they were really struggling defensively based upon their personnel, and
they had a player named Brian Zubek who they installed
in their starting lineup, and he was seven ft tall, huge,
huge guy, and he was an outstanding rebounder. And they
changed defensively, played more what's called pack line defense, invented
(09:32):
by Dick Bennett, who of course occupied the seat that
I sit in now head coach at UW Green Bay
before his head coach Wisconsin and watched the state. Anyway,
they changed defensively and they made it all the way
to the National Championship game where they played Butler in Indianapolis.
They were up one point and that's when Gordon Hayward
(09:53):
went baseline missed a kind of floater from about eight feet.
Zubec got the rebound and was fouled up ones we
made the first free throw, and Mike Krzyzewski with like,
I don't know, three seconds to go order his team
to order him to miss the free throw. And look,
there is a thought there where you missed the free
throw and they can't set up a play and it's
rushed and they chuck up a shot, Whereas if you
(10:14):
make the free throw, they can set a play up
and Brad Stevens has a great place. The problem is
that brings losing into the equation. And so the most
famous shot, maybe in the history of college missshot in
the history of college basketball is Gordon Hayward getting a
screen and nearly sinking a mid court shot which would
have won the game. Had they made the free throw. Well,
then even that shot would have just tied the game.
(10:36):
After the game, coach k was asked about it and
he said it might have been a bit of a mistake,
and it probably was. I think it definitely was. There's
no way you allow losing to be part of the
equation if you don't need it to be. If it's
one to two, that's different. You missed the free throw.
Two to three, you make the free throw, because then
it takes losing out of the equation.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Was also an interesting year in golf, Doug because it
was the return of Tiger woods from scandal So in
twenty ten, after the twenty nine Thanksgiving Day car crash,
Tiger Woods comes back following his rehab stint, and also
made his season debut at the Masters twenty ten Masters,
(11:22):
which was eventually won by Phil Mickelson, holding off the
likes of Lee Westwood and others for that crown. But
it was Tiger Woods who made his return after the
cheating scandal, and he made it at the Masters. I
was there for the final round, and I remember it
was a mixed gallery. Usually former Masters champions, especially somewhat
(11:43):
of Tiger's ilk, if you will, of what he has accomplished.
At Augusta National, those players get standing ovations where everybody stands.
It was very mixed because people were mixed. There were
some who got to their feet and were applauding him,
and he was kind of in contention as well, but
there were others who refused to at that time. Now
(12:05):
we look back at that those fourteen years ago, whenever
Tiger tees it up, I think everybody's cheering for him.
But there was a period of time where that wasn't
necessarily the case, and that was in twenty ten when
he came back from the scandal.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
And when you say rehab, was it sex rehab? Yes, yeah, officially.
And was that the Masters that he basically had his
first press conference since then? Was that all the hub
ub there?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Yeah, it would have been because it was his first
event that he had played that yet.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
I remember him having one specific answer to how he's
kind of recuperating and getting better as a person, and
he said that he's returning to his Buddhism. And I said,
to the Jim Rome crew off the air, you mean
you're returning to your booty Buddhism. Yeah, and that they
(12:58):
kind of dismissed that as a very sophomore joke. I
swear to Gosh, I'm watching Jay Leno. A couple of
nights later, he said the exact joke. He said that
joke in front of millions of people in nationwide, validating
my sense of humor.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
He played well that week, he did. We also thought
maybe Anthony Kim would have a chance. It didn't happen.
Graan mcdalan ended up winning the US Open that year.
Louisuse Taysen was the winner of the Open Championship, and
then Martin Kaimer at Whistling Straits, Doug just down the
road from you, about an hour or so away a
(13:33):
little more maybe claimed the PGA Championship in a playoff,
beating Bubba Watson in twenty ten, and then the US
lost the Ryder Cup.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Speaking of that, speaking of Bubba Watson, I remember he
had used to wear his iPod when he would was
at the driving ring, and he used to have this
in his earbuts Justin Bieber releases his iconic song Baby,
(14:08):
and then the rest is history. I will say this
about Justin Bieber. Back then, these songs were really a
big hit with teenage girls, and he became a superstar
because of that. I really appreciate the evolution of Justin
Bieber's career. He parlayed this like teeny pop thing into
like a very respectable hip hop artist where all these
(14:32):
other hip hop artists are willing to collaborate with him.
And I must say, you know, the pandemic was a
tough time on all of us. I listened to a
lot of Bieber hip hop collapse. That was kind of
my way to escape.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So that with a lot of the rumors of what
went on with Diddy helping his career.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Oh, you had to bring in Diddy. Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I mean he's part of it, right, of course, it's.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
It's a big part of it now. Yeah. But yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
This number one ring song that year, do you know
what it is?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I think so. I think it one number one.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
But no number one song in that year was Kesha.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Oh okay to Kesha.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
The song that I don't know if it charted or not,
but I think the most popular, like social media phenomenon
was Rebecca Black's Friday.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
That's a terrible song, absolutely awful.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I've never heard that song.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
We'll play tomorrow Friday. I never heard Friday, We'll play I've.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Heard Friday, but a different Friday version of Friday from
from the From the Wretched Movie soundtrack Friday.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
I'm guessing you've run into Rebecca Black down in Orange County.
I think she was like a Newport Beach resident.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Really never heard of her now the movie.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Really, this is the first time I've heard that person,
Like I was, I'm what was it Shack's thing? I
was not aware of of your game or something like that.
TikTok need to know by Lady and Debello. That's too
Hay Soul's Sisters three by Train California Girls by Kay
Berry with Snoop Dogg on it a O MG by Usher.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Oh man, yeah it was it was five Usher.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
He had another another tie here.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Now the movie that I know you really like. I
think the first movie came out, Despicable.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Me, Loveable Our Family. That's a great movie. Do that,
but do not fucked do that? Right? Uh, that was
the first time we met. Grew and is uh really
hard to please mother. We will steal the moon. Nothing,
(16:53):
you guys know nothing.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I love Steve Carl I've never seen any of the Despicable
Me movies.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
You haven't seen this?
Speaker 7 (16:59):
Watch this well, I think you were raising kids, so
it made sense to see it, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
But no, I know of all the minions and all that,
and I'm a.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
Huge Stevens are the same right right right.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
I know I'm saying I know about them, like I
know I've seen them in memes and all that stuff.
But we would be remiss though, if we didn't talk
about college football that year, which was really it was
the story of Auburn was that. Yep, Cam Newton twenty two.
We're talking twenty ten. They won the twenty of the
Auburn Tigers won the twenty eleven BCS National championship against Oregon.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Who is Dan I believe coach by Chip Kelly that year?
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Yes? Yes, yeah? Why do we always do this? The
twenty ten season was the fall of twenty ten? Was
Cam Newton?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Yeah? And then they won the national championship Heisman?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
But how much do you remember of the story there, Sammy,
because you weren't very old.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
I was in my twenties. He I know, with Cam
Newton or of like the season Newton. He was a
quarterback at Florida if I'm not mistaken, and I believe
he got into some trouble for like taking a laptop yep.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
And then he went to a backup to Tim Tebow.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, went to junior college, won a junior college national team,
then went to Auburn, and then people were like, oh,
that's funny. Dan Mullens recruited in Florida, yet he went
to Auburn. Why would you go to Auburn when you
could have gone Mississippi State, which, by the way, was
the spot occupied I think eventually by uh the quarterback
of the Dallas Cowboys anyway.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
With Cam Newton, with the Auburn Tigers the year before,
because I remember that they played Northwestern in some crazy
bowl game that was like a back and forth.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
No, he only played one year at Auburn. Okay, okay, playing
junior college one year, one year at Florida. Didn't play
one year in junior college, one year at Auburn. And he
actually remember he he snuck the ball, like, didn't he
Yer in the National Chamis game. Didn't he like sneak
it and he could have lost the ball and felt
like a really elfish play. I forget the play. They
(19:02):
won that one on their running back looking like he
was down and Oregon stopped playing and he got up
and kept running.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Was it Michael Dyer?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yes, Oregon fans still not happy with that one.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
That was the last year of Jim Trussel at Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
There was there was a lot of talk about like, uh,
at Mississippi State had offered him money and he turned
down missed like one hundred and fifty for Misissippi State
and like, well, if you turn out one hundred of
Mississippi State, you didn't go to Auburn free. That doesn't happen.
And they were like, no, it's his dad. And his
dad was supposedly not allowed in the stadium. Then dad's
on the camera shots.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Was that also the year of the kick six with
bam me versa, Oh, I'm sorry, no, no, no, no no.
Did they won by a point though at Alabama? Didn't
they check?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I don't know. It wasn't the kick six?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
They won by Yes, they did win twenty seven. I
go at least I got that part right. Perfect timing.
Song just ended.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
To see him get his first NBA basket in this

Speaker 3 (21:35):
An unbelievable moment.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Unbelievable moment for him, you know, first of all, for
our family.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
It is just pretty cool to be a part of it.
It is. But again, as is the case, like they
lost by twenty four points, they were non competitive, and
he's just not like I guess you can make him
an NBA player, but he's not an NBA player, although
he's an NBA player, all right, More on that in
a second, though. First, let's stch it at Dan Byer
(22:01):

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Doug.
Speaker 4 (22:05):

Eastern time. Jets made a roster move by placing wide

who missed his second straight day of practice because of
knee and back injuries. Packers quarterback Jordan Love on the
practice field. What is going on? What is going on here?
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Hey? I think Doug's calling his dog over. I think
that's what it was.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Packer's quarterback Jordan Love was on the practice field to
see there this is a groin injury. Packers ows the
Lions on Sunday. Running Back Josh Jacobs did practice today
after missing yesterday's workout with an ankle issue. On the
Lion side of things, quarterback Jared Goff returned to practice.
He missed yesterday's workout with his sprained ankle. Commander's quarterback
Jadon Daniels limited in practice for the second straight day.
(22:54):
They've got the Giants on Sunday. Giants said coach Brian
Dabolsa's running back Tyron Tracy is on tr BA to
clear concussion protocol and play against Washington Well. Bengals wide
receiver t Higgins missed his second straight practice because of
a quad injury. Angels a quiet outfielder Jorge Sola from
the Atlanta Braves, four picture of Griffin Channing, and the
Dodgers are holding their World Series parade and rally in
(23:16):
La tomorrow. Lakers are declining the third year option on
the contract of Jalen Hood Chaffino. Bucks are doing the
same with Marjon Bouchamp Doug.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Back to you.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Stug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio, Jerry Harrison
joins us fresh off the the culmination of an unbelievable
season by the Dodgers, a great comeback against the Padres,
great comeback last night against the Yankees. Of course, Jerry's
a former Dodger himself, Dodger analyst for Spectron Sports Net
here in LA, and he won a World Series with
Yankees in two thousand and nine. Man, there's a lot
(23:46):
to dig into, but let's start with the fifth inning.
It's five nothing, and it obviously got away from from
the yank from the Yankees, especially with just kind of
the basic right, just just old school basic take take
a fun go and start fielding the ball boys. What
do you think happened to the Yankees there?
Speaker 9 (24:06):
It's just one of those things where you're right, it
happened so quickly and so suddenly, because at that point
your cole was dominant, I mean absolutely cruising along the
first four intings. He didn't surrender a hit, and then
obviously Key Nanas gets on with the base hit and
a routine fly ball as root siet Is, it gets
a center field of the Aaron Judge, who is an
incredible player of legend, will tell you yourself you should
(24:28):
have had it. You know. I think he took his
eye off the ball. Maybe in the back of mind
he thought he maybe pick off or backpick and double off.
Key Gerry Nana's getting back to first, he takes his
eye off the ball, drops the ball. Now we got
action first and second, nobody out and then you look
at the base run of Kiyiri Nanas. He gets in
the way of Rope's throw, and it just caused that
(24:49):
little distraction right there. Does not want to hit Key Kid,
and he throws the ball away and then something Doug.
As you know, as a basketball coach former basketball player,
you go through drills in the.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Beginning of camp day one cover first base.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
One cover first base. That is, you know at first base,
you always tell the picture before even start. You look
at the picture, hey, make sure as a reminder. And
it was cute off the bat at Mookie Betts and
it took a funny hobit. You know, Anthony Rizzo tried
to smother the ball. If he looked back at it,
he's going towards second base. Just make sure he smothers
the ball. And Garrett Cole should have covered first base.
(25:27):
And when that didn't happen, they scored a run and
you felt the momentum shift instantly, and then up walks
you know who, Freddy Freeman delivers a clutch single and
then obviously Chaster and Nanis ties the ball came up
with a two run double, and after that, I felt,
even though the Yankees went ahead, after that, I felt
(25:48):
the menu had shifted and the Dodger were in great
position and they were able to win that game. But
you know what the Yankees, You know, if you watch
this team all year, yes, they slugged, they hit the
home run, they hit the long ball, but the little
things they didn't play very good defense. Their base running
wasn't good either, and finally the little things came back
to hot up them.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, little things become big things. That's you know, it's
it's it's really fascinating. You've seen the Dodgers since the
first pitch of spring training. Obviously, there's a ton of
pressure on this club because of because of the sustained success,
the investment uh in the personnel as well. But I
I like, I know, it's a high dollar team with
(26:31):
all stars across the board, But am I wrong? Padres
had a better roster and a better setup when they're
up two to one, and yet the pitchers came through
and didn't allow a run in two straight games and
they win. I felt like that was the moment in
which this this group became a team that wasn't going
to lose. Is that is that fair?
Speaker 9 (26:51):
That that is fair? Especially with the key injuries of
the Dodgers sustained. You know, anytime you lose your ace.
Tyler Glasnow did not pick up the ball in the postseason.
Gavin Stone was one of our better pitchers so when
you lose those two guys along with Clayton Kershaw, you
are you're hurting. And then we just got Yamba Moto back.
So listen to Padres had everybody healthy, They had plenty
(27:14):
of star power in that lineup, and they were poised,
especially taking that two to one lead to knock off
the Dodgers. But I will say this, Doug. You know
this as a former athlete. It just takes one thing,
the light, a spark, and I really believe you just
talking to the guys when Madame Machado threw that ball,
had manager Dave Roberts. Even though they won that game,
that changed the moments in that Dodger locker room in
(27:36):
that Dodger clubhouse, like, oh you think you can push
us around and throw something at our manager. That ignited
a fire in that team and they came back to
win that that that series, and they had the momentum
going in the nlcster they played a pretty good and
hot Mets team, but that moment against the Padres. They
knew the Padres were talented, but that little fire under them,
(27:58):
they say, you know what, We're not going to get
pushed run even though we're injured. Even though we got
a couple of horses out, we have enough in that
cluboffs to get it done. And boy do they get
it done.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
The Freddie Freeman thing's really remarkable, right, I mean, he
hits a home run in the first four and then
he comes through the clutch hit last night, and you know,
obviously and Choehy was not himself here since he heard
his shoulder. Have you seen anything like the Freddy thing?
And it's not like obviously Reggie Jackson three home runs
(28:30):
in the game, Kirk Gibson home run. We've had great,
uh you know, World Series performances, but the sustain the
sustained excellence, like every game getting a gigantic hit.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
You seen that before I have it, you know listening.
We've had so many postseason performance whether it's John Smoltz
on the Mountain World Series games. You mentioned Reggie Jackson,
he had that three homework game against the Dodgers in
that World Series. But you're right for him to have
like every game he had an impact. Then obviously the
walk off home run, the clutch hits, he goes in
(29:05):
the Yankee Stadium Game three, puts us on the board
with a home run and again puts us on the
board it with a home run at Yankee Stadium Game four.
Even though they dropped that game, he was present and
he had that tremendous presence in that lineup to make
you know things happen with the bat and also with
the glove, and what he had to go through and endure,
(29:25):
listen to go what he had to go through with
his son. That just took so much out of him mentally, physically, emotionally,
just trying to be there for his son. And thankfully,
his son is doing a whole lot better and he's
on a road to recovery. But that took a lot
out of him. And then compound that to hurt his ankle.
Anytime you had a high ankles Fraan, and you know
(29:46):
being a basketball player when I played in high school,
I had a high ankles frame that is not fun.
That takes four sometimes two months, you know, four weeks
or two months to recover. He was asked to come
back in a week and he was in so much
f and for him to go through all that and
get himself relatively healthy by eighty percent and have the
(30:07):
run he had at the World Series to carry us
to a World series title. Freddie Freeman is as good
as it gets as a person and good as it
gets to the player. I'm just so happy for him.
He deserved that championship.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Big time stuff. Hey Jerry, I know you're watching your
kid play baseball tonight baseball day. We appreciate you popping
on and joining us. What an amazing end of the
season and finally the Dodgers getting that monkey out the back.
I do got to ask you last thing, having one
a World Series with the Yankees, do you think it
means something extra that the Dodgers were able to not
(30:43):
just beat the Yankees, but beat the Yankees in Yankee Stadium?
Speaker 9 (30:46):
I think it's special. Anytime you beat her historic franchise
like the New York Yankees at their place, in the
manner they did it, it's special. You would rather do
it at your place. But the next best thing is
to do it at Yankee Stadium against a really good team,
a great franchise, great organization. Again, I still have friends there,
(31:06):
first class organization, and somebody had to lose, and the
Dodgers this time prevailed, and hopefully this is this is
a recurring thing. We want to see Yankees Dodgers World Series,
hopefully for the next three to five years. I think
it'd be great for baseball.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I completely agree. Maybe next year we have a show.
Hay on On on the mound, Jerry, enjoy the game,
Good luck to your son. Thanks for being our guest

He was kind of like a toad. Okay, they turned
him into kind of a toad.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Yeah, I think I think it was. It was definitely fiction, right.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
I don't know, what do you think? They created the
perfect woman out of a computer. And then she was
probably in her thirties and they were like in their
teens and she was into them. Yeah, it was slightly fiction.
Shortly after the show, that podcast will be going up.
You missed any today's show, be sure ching out the podcast.
Just search Doug Golliberver Year podcast and follow rate review
(33:17):
the podcast again, just search Doug Gottlibe over Year podcast.
Let's get to the press, the press. Hey there, Dan Byer,
what's in the press, Doug.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
The Major League baseball season ended last night with the
Dodgers winning the World Series. What also has come to
an end is Bob Costas's career as a Major League
baseball play by play announcer. Costas telling The Athletic that
he is hanging up his microphone of doing play by play.
We'll still contribute to Major League Baseball Network, the MLB
(33:55):
Network and do other things, but you will not hear
him behind the mic any more major League Baseball games.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, that sucks that that's not Look, it's pretty obvious
he wasn't He wasn't great in this year's MLB playoffs,
And I'm guessing this was them telling him, however, you
want to do it like this is probably it. I mean,
he's earned everybody's respect. There's an amazing play by play
(34:24):
guy host, I mean, all the Emmy Awards, whatever, But
every once in a while you got to say, that's it.
But he wouldn't hang out the mic. He would turn
off the mic, wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
He Maybe he would just drop it. But I didn't
think he drop the mic moment.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
I mean, Kobe had sixty, but it was a really
bad season, so and he dropped the mic.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
So he did did the audio? Did the av guy?
Was he able to attack? Able to turn off the mic?
I thought I remember hearing the mic hit the court
and Clark clink.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yes, Mamba out.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
Dodgers holding the World Series parade and rally in LA
Tomorrow seventy six or star Joel Ebiid is progressing towards
making his season debut. He'll go through workouts today and tomorrow,
Doug and hopes that he can play on Saturday against
the Memphis Grizzlies. That's according to ESPN, that.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Would be quite interesting, right. You get Zachied, you get
a chance to face Joel Embiid and he's like, yeah,
there's a little difference there.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
How about this on some third year options not being
picked up? Lakers aren't going to do this with a
Gelen hood Chafino and the Bucks are not picking up
the third year option on Marjon Beauchamp.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Yeah, I mean Marshon Beauchamp was kind of a from
nowhere meteorc Rise went to the G League Knight. But again,
this is one of those deals League Knight has not
always paid off with guys who are ready to play,
and it's one of the reasons that it doesn't exist.
I don't think it exists this year, thinks Ober.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
The Bucks also have no interest and it drives me crazy.
And in developing anybody that is young or has the
ability to maybe become something, it's just I don't know,
it's just it's they've fallen back to the old Hey,
let's just go and pick up somebody later on in
(36:09):
the season. Try to fill a hole that way. They've
done a time and time again. I I know that
John Horse gets some criticism on some of the draft picks,
only only in the Bucks community. This isn't a nationwide thing.
But they also have no interest in playing any of
these guys or developing any of these guys. So it's
a little it's a little annoying to me, Doug. Somebody's
(36:31):
got a hit. They can't all be bad.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Sure, listen's hard when you draft later in the first round.
It's it's it's a hard hit rate o.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed his second straight day of
practice because of knee and back injuries. Ravens have a
showdown with the Broncos coming up on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Who's the Ravens backup now?
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Oh gosh, yeah, it's a It's not Tyler Huntley anymore?
Who is the Ravens?
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I actually know this. We two, I say, I know
you start to say it, Sammy.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
No, I thought it was somebody.
Speaker 8 (37:13):
It's not Johnson, Josh Josh Johnson, Josh Johnson.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
How many teams has Josh Johnson played for without looking
over under his ten I'm gonna go over.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Oh yeah, for sure. I don't have the exact number
on it.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
The tennis Johnson has played for hold on, uh, Tampa, Niners, Browns, Bengals.
It's for Niners again, Bengals. I don't know if he
played for all these teams, Jets, Colts, Bills, Ravens, Giants, Texans, Raiders.
He played for Washington back when his Redskins. He played
for something called the l A Wildcats, the Lions, the Niners,
(37:51):
the Jets, the Ravens, the Broncos, the Niners, the Ravens.
That's crazy, that's insane.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
All right, this is on. This has been on my
Dan's takes for a while. I've said this for the
last couple of years. I think it's ridiculous that Mike
Shanahan and Mike Holmgren are not Pro Football Hall of Famers. Well,
they are two of the nine that have made the
former coaches that have made it to the semi final
(38:21):
round of induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
So you've got.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Shanahan, You've got Holmgren, you've got Tom Coughlin, Bill Arnsberger,
Chuck Knox, Dan Reeves, I'm already Schottenheimer, Clark Shaughnessy members
of that group as well.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
So I love Mary Schoenheimer. But man, they never won
anything in the postseason.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
Yeah, it's tricky, but he was one of the few
people that gets a fourth job. There are very few
coaches that get a fourth gig in the National Football League,
and he was able to do so. George Seffert also
on that list as well. For a semi finalist. Doug
that is the press.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
By get out there and pressed.
Speaker 5 (39:03):
That was the press.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
All right, boys, you've heard my pick on Thursday Night football,
Dan Byer, who do you like tonight?
Speaker 3 (39:09):
I do like the Jets.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
They did everything that they could to beat the Patriots
except the fundamentals, like the Yankees. Give me the Jets
tonight on a short week. At least they're at home.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Jay su.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
I like the Jets.
Speaker 7 (39:23):
Okay, Sammy, you know I'll go with the Texans here,
even though they're shorthanded.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Okay, I'm gonna take the Textan shorthanded on the road
to get the win and to get the cover. I
also like the under think it's a low scoring game.
Back Tomorrow we get you ready with the football. Friday
means the Gambler. I know you love it. It's tomorrow a
Gollip show.
