Speaker 2 (00:50):
Uh yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
There's I guess kind of one big story in the
National Football League, and it would probably be the idea
that Brian Schottenheimer could soon become the head coach of
the Dallas Cowboys. What's interesting about Schottenheimer, who, of course

(01:15):
has been an offensive coordinator with the Jets. You're going
back to when they went to the AFC Championship Game
twice he was the offensive coordinator. Mark Sanchez was the quarterback,
then the Saint Louis Rams. Then he was in Seattle
with Russell Wilson as his offensive coordinator for two years

(01:39):
I think right, Dan two years, and then he was
the Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator the last two years. And
what's fascinating about it? And look, I know that in
New York they were like eh, Seattle, some people were
like eh. But if you look back in New York again,

(02:00):
if you consider nobody thought Mark Sanchez a great quarterback
and they still were able to get to two AFC
Championship games, it's not terrible, but there's a lot of
talk of too conservative a play calling style. Now when
he was with the Dallas Cowboys, first he was consultant,
then he's promoted the offensive coordinator, going back to I

(02:21):
guess this is two years ago. So the last two
years he's been the offensive coordinator. Granted, Mike McCarthy is
really more the OFFENSEI corney he called. We think he
calls the plays, but he works for Schoenheimer, and I
just I think we're lacking a reasoning about the potential
for this move. I don't know if it's done. Okay,

(02:45):
the longer they wait, the longer they wait. The more
you think, okay, well hold on now. Maybe maybe they're
waiting to see what happens, you know with Kellen Moore.
You know, if Kellen Moore, if they lose, does Kelly

(03:06):
Moore become the head coach and Schottenheimer's remains they talk
him into staying as the offensive coordinator? I don't know.
Kellen Moore, of course, is a former Cowboy quarterback, former
Cowboy coach. Now he's with the now he's with the
Philadelphia Eagles. But there is something too familiarity from within
that makes a whole lot of sense if they feel

(03:26):
like the offense wasn't the problem and the quarterback doesn't
want to learn new quarterback language. All right, it's Thursday.
We'd love to have fun on a Thursday. This is
definitely a Jason Stewart production. As we play a little,
don't call it a throwback Thursday.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
You don't call it a throwback Thursday.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Jay Stu, what's the year we're throwing it? Not throwing
it back to.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Thank you, Doug. I'll take it from here. And a
point of clarification, it might be a JSTU production. I
have one ear so stuff like that is very it's
just an isold. Yeah, it's just concerning that Sam knows this.
I've had many conversations to him about this. But anyways,

(04:19):
where was I This is a Dan byer Idea Jystu
production Dan byer Idea. Now it's not what Dan had
originally thought of. So it's kind of like Dan is
the author of the book. I'm the director of the movie.
I've kind of taken his ideas and I've made it

(04:40):
into this taking some liberties for sure. Yeah, yeah, no doubt.
So today I want to go back to nineteen ninety four. Guys,
think about what you were doing in nineteen ninety four,
where you were, what you were watching, and more specifically,
what sports you were following. If you're saying to yourself
this week, have the chiefd some bills that are played
for the AFC Championship, The quick answer is yeah, three

(05:03):
or four years ago they did. But no, in nineteen
ninety four, Joe Montana faced Jim Kelly in the AFC
title game. Marv Levy faced Marty Schottenheimer. You see how
this is. It goes full circle. It's a circle of
life that's gonna be the theme of the segment. Circle

(05:24):
of Life. Marty Schottenheimer coached against Marv Levy. No shocker here,
Joe Montana got hurt and Dan Byer's own Dave Craig
finished the game for the Chiefs, which is interesting. Now,
of course, the Bills were on their way to what

(05:44):
their their third of four straight to get their butts
kicked by the Cowboys, who won their what third or
second in four years? Emmett Smith was the MVP that season.
But nineteen ninety four AFC title game, Chiefs against the Bills,
the Bills ran over the Chiefs to go to the
Super Bowl. What else sticks out from nineteen ninety four, Dan.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Well, here's the interesting portion of that, because that game
that you're talking about, as we've talked about many times
on this show, came from the nineteen ninety three season, correct, right, yep, right,
Because in the nineteen ninety four NFL season, and I
know Doug will know this, it was the seventy fifth
anniversary of the NFL, and that's when the NFL said,

(06:30):
you know what we're gonna do, throwback uniforms or we're
gonna do We're gonna call them a throwback re forms,
call them a throwback the forty nine Ers ended up
because they won the Super Bowl the next year, but
their throwback uniforms were ones that they wore throughout the
season with Dean Sanders in that forty nine Ers uniform.
The uniforms all had a diamond patch on them that

(06:53):
had a seventy five on them. So that's what I
remember from the NFL at nineteen ninety four. It wasn't
necessarily the AFC Championship game, but it's what happened the
following season in the seventy fifth anniversary of the league.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
And didn't the Niners sign Deon Sanders from the Falcons
in ninety four and didn't he also play for the Giants?
Or am I getting my years confused?

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Fact check me on that sat.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Dean dn went Falcons Niners to the Cowboys, but he
was only with the Niners for one year? Correct?

Speaker 4 (07:27):
I think that was it right, the ninety four season.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
In nineteen ninety Yeah, let me just double check here,
as I'm toggling between both of them. Anybody else feel
free to say, well.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Okay, I guess the nineteen ninety four step. It was
the first year that the Bulls played without Michael Jordan, right,
It was the year in which Scottie Pippen refused to
go in the game when they were taking on the
New York Knicks in the playoffs with a second left
to go in a playoff game in a series ultimately lost,
and Tony Kukoach, who the play was designed for, calmly

(08:04):
came in and knocked down the game winning shot. It
was a huge year. Team Elijuan was the MVP as
the Houston Rockets took down the Orlando Magic Orlando Magic
to win an NBA title. Remember the Orlando Magic had
a lead in Game one at home. Nick Anderson missed

(08:26):
four straight free throws. He was never the same as
a free throw shooter, and Orlando was never the same
as a franchise.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Now I'm officially confused. Nineteen ninety four was the OJ chase, right?
The chase with yes, and the Knicks were playing.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
The Rockets as the Knicks was the Knicks.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Knicks were playing the Rockets.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
You're right, Yeah, I'm wrong. The Magic was the next year.
I guess right, because the next year the Magic beat
the Bulls when Jordan returned shortly before the playoffs. Okay,
so I was right about the Rockets. I was right
about the Bulls, about the magic.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
And Ojy's chase through the NBA Finals was like one
of the signature moments of the decade.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Right, Yeah, it was at Game two or Game three,
I don't know. I can actually tell you here. I
don't know in Game three or four because the Rockets
had more wins than the next.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
I was on a week long what they call Badger
Boys State Boy State, you know, put on by the
American legions across this country. I was at boy State
for that week and in our dorm, they did not
have televisions, so I did not see anything of the
Knicks Rockets, did not know what was happening. They would
give us a news update every day before breakfast. But

(09:41):
in what it seems to be the craziest time in
television history of my generation, it's the one week that
I didn't have a TV and if you know me,
like I live by TV, it was Yeah, it's a huge,
huge gap in my lifetimeline.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
But by the way, I just saw that Netflix is
doing the OJ documentary and it's like that one. The
ESPN documentary on OJ is like one of the most comprehensive,
well done documentary of our time, Like what could Netflix
possibly do other than at the end be like, yeah,
he died another.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
One in nineteen ninety four, guys at the Final four,
I know Doug awaiting in on this.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
The Arkansas Razorbacks cut down the nuts in Charlotte.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Charlotte, Charlotte, North Carolina. I sat a couple rows back
from a couple rows forward from President Bill Clinton, of course,
the biggest Arkansas Razorback fan and was in office at
the time. Can I try the final four teams?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yes, you can?

Speaker 1 (10:45):
I know, Okay, Charlotte Florida was there. Yeah, would de
meet Hook Andrew de Clerk, Andrew de Clerk and de
meet Hook.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
That was the tough one that I thought, really yeah,
And there was it. Duke in Arizona, Yes, David Stotdameyer,
Khalid Reeves and then Arizona team and the Grant Hill
led Duke Blue Devils pretty good.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Nineteen ninety four college football. College football, we remember Nebraska
was a national champion. They beat Miami in the Orange
Bowl twenty four to seventeen. Penn State beat Oregon in
the Rose Bowl. Penn State end up finishing undefeated, but

(11:35):
was not Mooter National champion. Correct.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah, Yeah, that's the Kerry Collins, KJOHNA. Carter, Kyle Brady
squad and beat Ohio State sixty three to fourteen that year. Yeah,
it's not good, not good at all. Joey Galloway's gonna
tear them up, not so much.

Speaker 7 (11:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
The Nebraska Cornhusters had Lawrence Phillips as the running back
right seventeen hundred yards. Lawrence Phillips famous for most of
his off the field activities more so than on the
field activities. And I think and their quarterback was Tommy Fraser,
who is talking about a college superstar. I give you

(12:17):
Tommy Fraser.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I think we're also missing the lead on the year
of nineteen ninety four that we can all agree belong
to Nick Price, who won two of the four majors
that year in golf, taking home the Open Championship at
Turnberry and then coming back and winning the PGA at
Southern Hills. It was jose Maria Olathable winning the first

(12:40):
of his two Masters in nineteen ninety four. Ernie Els
won the US Open at Oakmont in a Monday playoff.
What is maybe most notably known of the stars of today,
Tiger Woods won his first US amateur and maybe most well,
they were all kind of popular. But he was down
six hole to Trip Kenny at TPC, Sawgrass and rallied

(13:03):
and it was the first real fist pump that we
saw of Tiger on a national stage when he sunk
the pot on the island green An on seventeen.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Do you guys want to hear about the nineteen ninety
four MLB Playoffs and World Series?

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yes? I got all day, Doug.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Okay, And that's the recap of the nineteen ninety four
playoffs and World Series. That's because that was the strike
yere right, That's the famous year where the Montreal Expos
might have actually broken through won a World Series. Only
we will never know. We will never know.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
The Expos with Pedro Martinez, John Wetland, a young Vladimir Guerrero,
Larry Walker, just Marky's Grissom, just filled with studs, just studs.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Here's here's a misconception. I think that sometimes going to
get our timelinees happening though, is I think people feel
that the Expos then moved soon after. For that it
was another decade that they were still in Montreal and
then finally ended up leaving.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Wall think about this roster, kay, you had Cliff Floyd,
Mike Lansing, I got a lot of Mike Lancing cards,
a lot of my a young twenty seven moisas Alu,
Larry Walker at twenty seven years old, right in his prime,
one bell like man. They had dudes. Then you go

(14:28):
to the rotation pedro you mentioned, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Were Delino Deshields or Marquis Grissom still on that team?

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Then Marquis Chrissom was definitely on the team.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Was traded for Delino Deshields.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Okay, what a roster on paper. And of course they
were playing really well in first place before the season
came to it and there were seventy four and forty
and their manager was Felipe Alou.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
And I think that the maybe the player that got
jobbed the most. I think Tony Gwynn was like approaching
four hundred when when they went on the strike. I
think the great the best news though, was that Tony Gwinn,
when they weren't playing in the playoffs and not playing
baseball for two months, had a lot of time to
listen to this song This is I Saw the Sign

(15:30):
by Asa Bass. It charted at number one for six
weeks on the Billboard Charts. Shocked to find out that
this was the number one song of the year given
the heavyweights that came right before it, right in Dan
Byer's wheelhouse. Maybe two of the greatest ballads of the

(15:50):
nineteen nineties. Still a banger, dude.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
By the way, I guess your number one. I got
your numbers for uh, for Tony Gwinn. Tony Gwynn three
ninety four OBP four fifty four, so he's on base
almost forty six percent of the time. He was hitting
three ninety four through one hundred and ten games. That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Matt Williams in a good year two was uh. I
swear the song you were gonna play was that.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
I thought I thought we had it. I swear by
All for One or I'll Make Love to You by
Boys to Men?

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Which do you prefer down? I prefer Boys to Ben
because I felt All for One was the knockoff of
Boys to Men, and I was I was a big
Boys to Ben fan. I think it's truly my first
concert that I saw in an arena type venue.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
I swear it was also John Michael Montgomery, but I
don't know if the Country One came out before the
All for One version.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
Doug, what movies were people watching in nineteen ninety four?
I got to breathe a little bit.

Speaker 8 (16:56):
I got to I had to get this going here
because the men demanded, the men here demanded this song.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Unbelievable year in movies, unbelievable year. Okay, I want you
to think about this. In all time comedies, I give
you Dumb and Dumber and ace Ventura as well as
the Mask. Remember this is back when Jim Carrey was funny.

Speaker 8 (17:20):
He owned the nineties and ninety four might have been
his biggest year. But man, what what a triple headed
monster there?

Speaker 4 (17:26):
In ninety four.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Disney movies we have the Lion King. Also Seda, we.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Need seem.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
He just okay. In adventure movies we have speed speed right.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Hot shot. I also have a drop of that where
is it true Lies?

Speaker 1 (17:56):
True Lies?

Speaker 7 (17:57):
Pop quiz hot shot?

Speaker 1 (17:59):
In drama Legends of the Fall, Wow, what a cast
also known as Everybody Dies? And Brad Pitt's like peak hotness.
Like as a heterosexual male, I think I can say,
like Brad Pitt, he's amazing looking. That movie a lot.

Speaker 8 (18:16):
Of spiky blonde hair in the nineties and like a
little goatee.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
In really good movies but probably actually overrated when you
get to watching the movie Forrest Gump.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Oh love Forrest Gump. Come on, I didn't say.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
I didn't love it, but like, let's not compare it, Okay.
In comparison, this is a lot like each row getting
into the Hall of Fame with who was it? C? C.
Sabbathia and uh uh and Billy Wagner right Forrest Gump
or pulp Fiction and Shashank Redemption Right Forrest Gumps really

(18:53):
good movie. Pulp Fiction is one of the signature movies
of maybe our life. That's a like Quentin Tarantino's signature
movie Shank, and Shoshank Redemption is one of on Anybody's
ten Best Movies I've Ever Seen list.

Speaker 8 (19:11):
So you're saying that Forrest Gump's a distant bronze medal, yes,
but a crowd pleaser for you know, families. I would
say that, yeah, because you wouldn't take your kids to
Shawshank or pull Fiction.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
I show my kids Shashank.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
You will ease, Okay.

Speaker 8 (19:23):
I think I saw shash inc like shortly after it
came out, and I was like, maybe ten years old,
so have you.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
That is, don't call it a throw back Thursday.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
It's the Doug gott Leave Show, Fox Sports Radio. We
were recapping nineteen ninety four. Of course, I do wonder
if Ross Tucker has this still on his playlist. Ross
Tucker joins us Doug Gottip Show, Fox Sports Tradio. He's
those to the Ross Tucker Podcast, where you can check

(20:09):
it out on social media at Ross Tucker NFL. Also
joining us on behalf of my front page story. We'll
get to that in a moment, Ross Tucker, nineteen ninety four,
Where were you?

Speaker 7 (20:20):
Oh my gosh, Doug, that song just took me back,
bro I was fifteen years old, and I was a
sophomore in high school, starting on the varsity football team.
And that was when we first started having a lot
of fun on Friday and Saturday night. And then by

(20:42):
midway through the year, I was no Doug Gottlie, But
by midway through the year, I was starting varsity basketball
and that was a year. Man, that's like a top
take a top five year of my life.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
I know, if we get if we get that time
back right. Have you seen have you seen the post
from Mark Andrews on his Instagram page?

Speaker 7 (21:09):
Yes? I did, I did see it.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
What'd you think?

Speaker 7 (21:15):
Yeah? I mean, I've thought a lot about him ever
since the game on Sunday. I called Ravens games each
of the last two years for CBS, and he was
in the production meetings both times. And he is an
awesome guy, tremendous player. Like you talk to them, he's

(21:37):
as intense as like any Raven they've ever had, totally
locked in, and my heart hurt for him Sunday night, Doug,
it really did. I mean, I you know, I can
remember one time in my career where I kind of
felt like I lost the game for us when I
was in Dallas and I didn't sleep all night, like

(21:58):
this is two thousand and two, Dougs. So I was
watching the evening news shows to see whether or not
they were blaming me for us losing, Like that's the
only time you could watch like the highlights from the game.
So I just felt for Mark with what that was
like for him in the locker room, the plane ride home,

(22:18):
trying to sleep, because I know he's that type of
guy that would really take it to heart, and so
I appreciated that he kind of put himself out there.
I do think I would have preferred if he addressed
it after the game Sunday night, and I think on
some level that might have been therapeutic for him, you know,

(22:42):
to do that. But I do think finally releasing the
post and doing something public was the right decision, and
I think probably even a few days later was somewhat
therapeutic for him.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Okay. In regards to the game itself, Lamar Jackson talked
about turnovers being a huge issue, calling out himself and
obviously pointing out Mark Andrew's turnovers, But what did you
think of how the Ravens played, especially in terms of
throwing the football so much in the first half where
the Bills are running it.

Speaker 7 (23:14):
Yeah. A couple thoughts. One is, we don't want this
to be the case, but it's factual information that Lamar
Jackson does not play as well in the playoffs as
he does in the regular season. It just is I
think at some point he'll get over the hump. But

(23:34):
that's the reality. I think he knows it. I think
he's very fortunate in terms of public perception and the
narrative that the halves weren't reversed, you know what I mean,
like that he was good, you know, he was much
better in the second half, didn't turn it over. People

(23:55):
are more focused on the Andrews. I think that's helpful
to Lamar. I think you bring up a great point
that get here in a row, and I think Todd
Monkan does the terrific job that get here in a row.
I was frustrated by the game plan for the Ravens
and I felt like they kind of went away from

(24:15):
who they are and what got them there. And I
think what was really stunning is in particular the way
the Bills, which by the way, bodes well for the
Bills on Sunday, but the way the Bills kind of
pushed them around. I mean, the Bills ran the ball
very effectively really the whole game, but in particular in
the second half. And I did not think that would

(24:37):
be the case. And so the Ravens really have nobody
to play but themselves. In terms of you think about
we didn't like the game plans. They lost to turnover
battle three to zero, and they still, you know, probably
should have gone overtime of Andrews catches that pass.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Great point. Stut Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Trader.
That's the voice of Ross Tucker. Of course, he's got
his own podcast and it's a really good one, especially
if you love the National Football League. What went so
wrong for the Lions.

Speaker 7 (25:07):
Just a disastrous series of events. And I will say
no one's talked about this. I am a little bit
curious if all of the head coaching stuff distracted Ben
Jonson or Aaron Glenn in any way. I mean, the
fact that they were still in that game losing the

(25:29):
turnover battle like five nothing or whatever it was, is
very telling. But I did not like the game plan
from Aaron Glenn. I know he wants to be aggressive,
but Jane Daniels has been outstanding against the blitz and
he kind of played right into his favor. I can
tell you it much. The Eagles aren't going to blitz

(25:50):
them very much Sunday. They know better, they're not going
to blitz them, and they're going to have a lot
more success defensively, I believe than the Lions did, and
obviously the turnovers were disastrous. Even with all the golf turnovers,
they still had a chance if Jamison Williams doesn't throw
that ridiculous pass, and you can say, well, you can

(26:13):
blame the player for that, but if you're Ben Jonson,
you cannot call that play unless it's ingrained in Jamison Williams.
If it's not there, just run or throw it away.
You cannot have him just gift the commanders an interception

(26:33):
at that stage of the game. Very very very disappointing.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
How responsible for the Kansas City Chiefs. Do you think
the officials were.

Speaker 7 (26:48):
A decent amount? But I guess I would say, and
you'll appreciate this. As a basketball guy, Mahomes might be
the best I've ever seen now at draw the penalty.
I mean, I was calling that game with Kevin Harlan
for West one and the first time when will Anderson

(27:09):
either didn't hit him in the head or barely hit
him in the head, Mahomes he snapped his head back
like it was whiplash in a car accident going sixty
miles an hour. You know, Mahomes has kind of perfected
knowing what the officials are looking for and how to

(27:29):
get the call snapped his head back. If you're the
referee behind him and you don't see Anderson lower his
target area and then you see the head snapback, you're
gonna call that too. And then the second one where
he just dropped that wasn't even a slide. He just
dropped right before he's about to get hit. Same thing.

(27:51):
The one where he slowed down going out of bounds
was hilarious. You know, Doug, on the one hand, I
respect that he's doing anything and everything possible to try
to win the game for his team. I get it.
That's his job. And you know Brady would do the
same thing. Everybody would do the same things. The flip

(28:11):
side is as a football guy, I hate it. Like
to me, it's like NBA flopping. It's like the the
soccurifications of my favorite sport ever, Pro football. Right, Like,
we cannot reward this behavior by mahomes like they are
right now.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Stug got if show here on Fox Sports Rare. That's
the voice of Ross Tucker. Okay, we talked about all
of these games, with the exception of the Eagles games
like can they get to a super Bowl despite the
fact their offense still looks so dysfunctional.

Speaker 7 (28:49):
Yeah, I think that end, which is crazy. I'll be
on the sideline Sunday for Westwood with Iron Ego and
Kurt Warner, and you said it exactly right. You know,
they are not firing on all cylinders, to say the
least on offense. It's kind of a wild deal here
where they do just enough in the passing game. Bertz

(29:12):
doesn't turn it over. You know, as a former offensive lineman.
It drives me crazy some of the sacks that he takes,
you know, after four and five seconds. But I guess
that's preferable to an interception. I mean, I would like
to think that there's a happy medium of throwing the
ball away, but that's not what's going on. He is

(29:32):
typically decisive as a runner, and he's been effective in
that way. But I can't remember a team like this
where even Sakuon it's a lot of two and three
yard runs and all of a sudden, he just takes
one in the house. It's like, I can't remember another
team like this. But they get by without turning it over.
They get enough from the run games, and the defenses

(29:54):
really pretty aren't good, and they're gonna have to be again.
I mean, there's a very real chance that the Eagles
go to the super Bowl without drawing. I can't remember
how many yards they threw four against the Packers, but
it wasn't two hundred. I don't even know. It was
one to fifty. Like, there's a very real chance they
go to the super Bowl without throwing for one hundred
and fifty yards in any of their three playoff games there.

(30:17):
I mean, that probably hasn't happened since, like the Packers
in the sixties or something.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
It's crazy. Hey, tell me about my front page. I
know you've talked about it before, but especially with Valentine's
Day coming.

Speaker 7 (30:28):
Up, well, so nobody knows but to get their wife
for Valentine's Day. Everybody just gives them flowers or maybe
takes them out to dinner. I'm a big fan of
changing it up. I'm a big fan of telling people
you love how you feel about them. You literally talk
to a writer for ten minutes, or you can sell
out an email. They write this incredible front page story.

(30:49):
It looks like it's on the cover of the newspaper,
pictures of you and her, the kids, just being able
to tell her you had a story written about her
sounds amazing. And then when she re the quote about
how much she does for the kids and how you
appreciate her, you don't thank her enough. They cry. I've
seen like ten videos now they cry almost every time.

(31:11):
Can't highly wreck your on enough, any guys or anybody
listening my front page story dot com, My front page
story dot com. You will blow her away if you
get this for her from Valentine's Day this year.

Danny B.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
What have got Doug? We started off with a couple
of notes from the NBA. First of all, insider Chris
Haynes is reporting that Lebron and Bronny James have turned
down an invitation to compete in the NBA All Star
Skills Challenge that takes place on All Star weekend. The
new version they've used the last couple of years is
taking three teammates from a team and competing against other squads.

(32:51):
But Lebron and Bronny turned down an opportunity to take
part in that challenge.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Well, you know, they never want publicity, so totally understanding.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
I actually have a problem with it, Like this is
what it's this is what it's all about, right, Like
we don't It was a cosmetic thing, yes, and here
is an opportunity in a cosmetic event that doesn't mean
anything to go have a great time and they say
no to it.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
Nope, it was a sideshow. And now you're saying no
to the side show.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yes, yes, yeah, yay.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Yeah, it doesn't sit well. It's very because it's also
it honestly the lebron Broni thing. If you were against it,
you thought it was a selfish thing for them. This
would be giving back to the game, right, because it's
a fan sort of deal. We don't care who wins
the skills challenge. Maybe it's a neat thing that they

(33:50):
do together. But instead they're like, uh, fans, you're not
going to see it. This is only on our terms. Yeah,
not a fan, Doug. The Milwaukee Bucks are expected to
land somewhere between four point thirty and five o'clock local
time in Milwaukee and then our schedule to play six
thirty game tonight against the Miami Heat on TNT after

(34:12):
they were stranded in New Orleans. Their game last night
against the Pelicans was a postponed because of the winter storm.
But they're going to be off the plane in ninety
minutes and then gonna have to go, you know, shoot
around and face the Miami Heat.

Speaker 7 (34:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
I'm my guy, Mike who took me to the game. Yeah.
I went to a Bucks game last week on my birthday.
We I was talking about going down the game to
night and he just just texted me, do you hear
this stuff? They landed five for six thirty game. That's insane.
So yeah, it'd be like au hoops man, get out
the band, start playing.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Hooph The debut of Bill Belichick as the head coach
at North Carolina will apparently be in prime time. Belichick,
who did sign this contract with the school to be
their head coach. They will host TCU SO on Monday night,
September one, that's Labor Day on ESPN, the first weekend

(35:06):
of the college football season, I should say week one
of the college football season. Excuse me.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
I want to tell you the most miss you know
of all the things that are misrepresented, the whole thing
about him not signing his contract was complete dumb dumb time. Okay,
how it works when you agree to terms is you
agree to a memo of understanding an MoU. Okay, you
could work on an MoU for thirty sixties ninety days

(35:34):
in some states, and you then come together and work
out the terms of a contract and then you sign it.
That all that is is somebody reporting something which factually
is correct, but no context at all with the fact
that lots of coaches, myself included, don't sign a contract
for a month or two months after they start working

(35:54):
for the university.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Well, he signed it today. It's been making the rounds
on the social media that there was a signed contracts
they signed it today, but somebody got their hands on
the signed contract.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Sure, sure, fine, what happened. You agree to a deal,
But there's lots of different parts when you work for
the state, there's all different sorts of layers that you
have to go through.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Five finalists for the NFL's MVP Award Doug Lamar, Jackson,
Josh Allen, Saquon Barkley, Jared Goff and Joe Burrow all finalists.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Do we think this should only be a regular season award?

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Okay, Well, if it's a regular season award, then man,
I mean there's three possible candidates, right, Allen, Lamar, and Saiquon.
I think it should be Allen, but I wouldn't really
have a.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Problem about this Comeback Player of the Year. JK Dobbins,
Sam Darnold, Christian Gonzalez, Damar Hamlin and Joe Burrow.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
I mean Jamal Hamley came back from dying.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah, and he didn't win it last year. And he
didn't win it last year because they gave it to
Joe Flacco and then they changed the criteria because they
were mad that Joe Flacco won and not de Mar Hamlin,
who's had a much more significant role this season. Sounds
a year ago. I think that's right. I think it
is to make good.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
It does to make good, which means you'll probably win it,
even though it should be Sam Donald. Although Sam Donald
just came back from being bad, right, that's true. It
wasn't like he came back from some injury or something
else or dying. But anyway, and that's the press. This
