(00:48):
I thought Aaron Rodgers had the perfect, perfect response to
Terry Bradshaw's kind of a clever quip. We'll get to
that at twenty after the hour. We got the press.
We got a bunch of things coming up. Yeah, I
definitely want to talk some some Aaron Rodgers coming up
before we get to that though. We do this every Monday.

(01:10):
It's a great way of catching up on things we
may have missed, things that affected us personally that we
wanted to share with you. We call it love and hate.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
What did you love?

Speaker 3 (01:20):
God?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
I love you?

Speaker 2 (01:21):
And what did you hate?

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Meet these player haters? Love love love, love, love, hate
hate hate hated? What'd you love from the weekend? What'd
you hate from the weekend? We share with you our
four thoughts of love, our four thoughts of hate, and
you get to share your social media at Gottlieb Show, Twitter,
at Goatlieb Show, Instagram. Knock yourself out, Do Do Do,

(01:47):
Bump bump boom, boom boom. Let's start with Dan Byer.
He's a resident love a boy, Oh Danny, what'd you
love from the weekend?

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Well, Doug. I thought that a lot of this would
come up in maybe the hate portion of the program.
But I'm gonna say something that I loved because it's
gotten a lot of hate on social media over the weekend.
I loved Vern Ludenquist in Happy Gilmore two. I thought
that Vern Lungquist stole the show. For those that haven't

(02:19):
seen it, I'm not going to ruin anything. But despite
all of the negative reviews, I feel that the takeaway
is Vern Lunquist and how Vern Lungquist I felt stole
the show in the movie.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Can I piggyback on that? I need to piggyback on
this because I chose. I chose this topic as my.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Love hold on, hold On, hold On, hold on, hold on,
go ahead.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
I'm sorry, uh never gets old.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
Hold on, hold on. So Christina, my superhout girlfriend. Christina's
son wanted to watch Happy Good More too. I probably
would not have been inclined to watch it, and man
if I didn't watch it, I wouldn't have caught this.
So I'm so glad I watched it. I am not
the audience for Adam Sandler movies. I never have. And
you could say you're just a movie snob who really

(03:11):
cares about sophisticated art, and I'll say yes. You could say,
who are you to judge what's funny? And I'll say
I'm gonna judge you a lot, because I think dumb
people find Adam Sandler movies funny. But I will say this,
I watched the entire thing and I came across a gym,
So he's got all these amazing cameos, and a lot

(03:31):
of the cameos are sports talk personalities. Stephen A. Smith,
isn't it? Dan Patrick has a role in it. There's
a bunch of podcasters that I'm not even familiar with.
So he got a bunch of his friends podcasting broadcasters.
And I'm guessing he asked Doug to be in the movie,
and Doug, you might may have had a schedule conflict.
But what I loved about this is they had a

(03:53):
subtle nod to you and the show within the script
and it's really smart and I'm really glad I came
across this. So at some point, Uh, Shooter McGavin has
been released from the insane asylum and he is supposed
to lead a group of current golfers against this other

(04:13):
group that is like the live golf of fiction. And uh,
he's brought in to give an inspirational speech, and there's
a hidden gem in here. Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
You are the five golfers who will represent our tour
in the grudge match against the Maxi League. I don't
have to tell you how important it is that we
beat them, and here to talk about how we're going
to accomplish that is Shooter McGavin.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Doug, I'll take it from here.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
So an amazing subtle nod to our show and the listeners. Obviously,
you may have been booked that day, you couldn't be
in the movie. But I think they did it in
a smarter way. This appeals to me. This is actually
something sophisticated within an Adam Sandler movie. It's this right here.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Thank you, Doug.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
I'll take it from here.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Awesome. That's for you guys, right. I'll take the fact
that Adam Sandler listens to the show. Sam, What do
you got? What would you like from the weekend? What'd
you love for the weekend?

Speaker 6 (05:20):
I guess I'll be plugging one of our rivals, one
of our competitors here. But ESPN has been doing a
fifty states in fifty days tour.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
They haven't gone to anywhere.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Well, they stopped in Iowa over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Stop anywhere. They're just in a studio going like, hey,
shout out now.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
Kevin de Gandhi, Kevin de Gandhi was at the Field
of Dreams movie site, so he was there and the
weather was poor. It's been a very rainy summer in
the Midwest and I think all over the country. So
it was pouring kind of throughout his time there, but
he stopped and he brought his sons with him and
they had at the end of this segment, nice fifteen
minutes segment they had they played catch in the pouring rain.
I love that. I've always like Kevin de Gandhi. I

(05:59):
thought he was He's one of the talents there at ESPN.
And they also sort of laid the roadmap for what
the Field of Dreams movie site has planned for the future.
They're going to keep the movie site obviously in the
house intact. They want to expand it so they can
have high school tournaments, college and professional games all at
this site. They want to make it a destination for

(06:21):
like Midwest summer baseball. I thought it was really neat.
I don't want them to lose the charm of sort
of the corn everywhere. When I was lucky enough to
go there in twenty twenty one for that first Field
of Dreams game, and they had like rows of corn
everywhere and beautiful you know, lights and cutouts and everything.
It looked very nostalgic, very old timing. And they don't

(06:41):
they shouldn't lose that I think that they will keep
a hold of that around the movie site, but there's
going to be like a sprawling complex of different diamonds,
and they probably need to build more hotels in an area.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Oh gosh, what.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I know, like the commercialization of it.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Every suburb of every moderately sized city in the United
States is building like an eight diamond complex for and
it just never stops. It's it's I I said Sam
loving the field of Dream site. I've only been there once,
but I absolutely loved it. And what was great about

(07:17):
it was how it was away from everything, how you
kind of had to drive through town, at least the
way that I got there to get there. Now, if
you're there on there's sixteen other diamonds, you're not in
the country anymore. Like it's that.

Speaker 6 (07:30):
I mean, you're still very clearly in the country like
you're it is. It's it's definitely they're not just keeping
like the one MLB diamond. And then the movie site.
They're gonna expand it.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
They wanted to make a place and then they got
a park somewhere.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
Yes, they trust me.

Speaker 6 (07:43):
I lost my car in a cloverfield with other cars
and it was They got plenty of space out there.
But yeah, exactly like I said, you don't want to
lose the charm. You want to keep the rows of corn.
You want it to be like the backdrop is a
corn outfield. But yeah, some of these places where youth
baseball will be played, it's gonna look more commercial, like
Dan said, And I just hope that they handle it

(08:05):
in a way where it's still charming and nostalgic but
also attracts. They're trying to grow business there that you know,
they wanted to make it, make it into a business venture.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
So I hope they handle it accordingly.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Uh. I'll tell you what I love. I love what
Dion Sanders did today. College football needs Dion Sanders. They
just do. College football needs a reason for you to watch.
Think about it. Now, how many you guys are not Southerners? Right?
So I guess Jay stew how many SEC coaches can

(08:37):
you name?

Speaker 5 (08:39):
Give me seven? Oh, sort, give me seven seven. I'll
start the bid in at seven.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
I'm gonna go under. I'm gonna go under. I your
camera's not up on the YouTube channel, by the way,
check out the Fox Sports for the YouTube channel. I
know there's three of them. I know you'll know, but
give me the seven.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
Dennis FRANCIONI.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh serious, to give me the seven.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
Let's see. I kind of need the schools. Let's see.
So we told you Texas definitely no Sarkisian Sarkissian.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
U c L a USC.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
Guy. Oh sorry, I'm sorry, sec USC.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
I'm sorry. Alabama, Alabama?

Speaker 5 (09:30):
What is his name?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Exactly?

Speaker 6 (09:31):
Georgia kalin Deor we already went past it.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
You're not yeah, you're not.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
You're not helping.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
Wait wait he didn't know. We know, you know.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
My point is Okay.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
Kmart.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
By the way, seventy of the players change places in
their career. Yeah again, I don't know the number. I'm
just guessing that scenees about right. Seventy Okay. So the
constant has always been the coaches. It is, but I'm
guessing most people don't know the coach at Michigan anymore.

(10:07):
All right, Sam, do you know the coach of Michigan's name?

Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (10:11):
What is it?

Speaker 5 (10:11):
Sharon Moore?

Speaker 1 (10:13):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Took over four Harbaugh.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
He took over for Harball in that last season as well.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
When there were some uh some suspensions for sessionable things.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
So Dion Sanders makes people turn on college football and like,
look for better or for worse if you like or
don't like. I just didn't like some of the antics,
but they made Colorado probably the team that everybody watched
over the past two years. Cheering four some cheering against
doesn't matter. So the fact that he beats cancer, we think, right,

(10:46):
this is doctor's like, hey, completely cured and with money
in the bank. And I'm sure had he said, hey,
I'm done here, Colorado would have compensated. Maybe not to
the full extent of his contract, but he's doing to
made some money. Deon Sanders can do, television, can do, podcast,
can not work. And I'm sure he's okay coming back
to college football, despite the fact he had his second

(11:09):
healthcare in just two years of being at CU. When
he doesn't have to coach his son, doesn't get to coach,
his son, doesn't have to get to coach the best
player in the country. That's a win for college football
to win for all of us. That's a really good thing.
I love it. Let's get to what we hated for
the weekend. Okay, there, Dan Buyer, would you hate for

(11:34):
the weekend?

Speaker 4 (11:37):
This is gonna sound crazy because it's gonna start to
heat up. I'm surprised we didn't go to our resident hater.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Wait, we dideah you normally, but I just that's okay,
ny contact with you.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
I know, this is this is I'm just gonna say it.
It hasn't been as hot this summer as I wish
it has been in southern California. I know the rest
of the country is like, please, we are sweltering here,
but it has not been as warm as it normally
would and yesterday was a bit windy. I'll tell you what,
if you're able to go outside and able to enjoy

(12:10):
a nice dip in the water, I don't like it
when the wind blows and it's it's cool. Like I
wanted to be sweltering hot at least for just two
weeks in the summertime, so then you're automatically refreshed by
cool water, you're not chilled by a breeze. We're supposed
to get warmer weather this week again. I know, like

(12:30):
the heat index by you, Doug was like one hundred
and seven because it was just humidity and the whole deal.
But that's what I didn't like about the weekend. Another
nice weekend, but didn't necessarily get that hot. And when
I swam, I got chilled by the wind.

Speaker 6 (12:46):
It has been in under the average summer temperatures here
in southern California, and yes, below average, below yeah, you
get what you go. What I'm saying, below average temperatures.
The rest of the country has been hot, hot, hot,
but Dan just.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Been it's been. It's been below average in a lot
of the Midwest. Now it's hot this week.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
That's not what I saw, Coach. It's been above average.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
And I say, friends of the my friends here in
Green Bay, it's been cooler and rainier, especially early summer.
You just said in Iowa it's been cooler and rainier.

Speaker 6 (13:17):
Well, there's been some Yeah, there's been some hot heat.
There's been some heat waves going through.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Same thing in Oklahoma. So it has been cooler than usual.
And now it's supposed to be hotter than usual here
last month of summer.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
Danes.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
You wait, though, you know that by Labor Day there's
gonna be like one hundred and fifteen days.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
I know, and it's gonna be like the opening of
college football season, and it's gonna be like, man, why
is it this hot? My sister sent me just a
graphic uh, dougause she probably lives about maybe about hour
and a half, like, just southwest of Green Bay. Heat
index was one oh seven at her place on Saturday.
The ninety two degrees humidity was high. Yeah, it was crazy.

(13:55):
It was hot.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
That's that's absolutely crazy. Okay, what about you are a
resident hater, Jase?

Speaker 5 (14:04):
Okay, Dog, thank you. I'll take it from here.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
I'll take it from here.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
Thank you, Doug. I'll take it from here. Thank you, Doug.
I'll take it from here, Doug, I'll take it from here.
Did you guys watch the A's highlights from this weekend.
I didn't know this, but fourth generation broadcaster Chris Carrey
has a major league job. He's the a's broadcaster. A

(14:29):
no doubter home run was hitting the game, But if
you listen to the call, you got a different version.

Speaker 6 (14:36):
One two pitch high in the air deep to rite
that ball is foul?

Speaker 5 (14:44):
Are gone?

Speaker 4 (14:46):
That ball was absolutely launched, law Dog posing them up
at the dish. He knew it off the bat.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
It was just a matter.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
Of how far foul or gone by the way the
ball landed in right center.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, not even close.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
To the poll. If it was Lawrence Butler who hit it,
And I'm gonna I'll give Chris Carrie an excuse here.
He actually went on social media and he had a
very accountable apology. But he lost the ball in the lights,
and the right fielder didn't move. The right fielder showed
up the pitcher, he didn't even move. Lawrence Butler did

(15:26):
what all hitters do now and he just pimped his
home run. So the broadcaster had no indication of where
the ball was based on the fielders or the hitter.
But this is kind of a proxy hate. I don't
hate this as much as John Ramos hates it. Cause
the one thing that John Ramos are our old tech
producer that we love dearly. He's a friend of ours.

(15:49):
He hated nepotism. He doesn't think Chris Carey should have
that job. And Chris Carey proved to John Ramos this
weekend that he shouldn't have that job. Chris Carey the
great grandson of Harry Carrot. Holy cow, John Ramos hates you.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Wow, Samon, What do you hate from the weekend?

Speaker 5 (16:11):
All Right?

Speaker 6 (16:11):
So Friday night, like many people, I sat down to
watch Happy Gilmore two and I've only walked out of
one movie in the movie theater before in my life.
That was American Hustle. I don't know why it rankled
me so much, but with like ten minutes left in
that film, I just got got up and walked out.
Maybe I'd have to revisit the film. Maybe it's not
as bad as I thought. But I turned off Happy

(16:33):
Gilmore too with thirty five minutes.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (16:36):
I did end up finishing at Sunday night, and my
opinion didn't change. The movie didn't just somehow get better.
This was a labor to get through. This was a chore.
This was not a good movie. It didn't need to
be made. It was too long, it was just there
was It was bloated. This film was bloated, and it
would have been better off. It had been better served
if it wasn't made. In the original Happy Gilmore could

(16:57):
just stand alone because this movie was honestly, it was boring.
When a comedy is boring, you've lost me, You've lost
the audience. I didn't really laugh at the movie. I
didn't think it was very funny. I wanted to like it.
I like Adam Sandler. I loved Happy Gilmour of the original,
so I went went in with low expectations, which was
what I was told to have, and my expectations were

(17:18):
not even met. I thought this film was just like
first half of it was two passes through the buffet
line and the second half of the film just got
so ridiculous. It was like you're going back to the
pasta in breadsticks. Portion of the buffet it was nothing
but filler. I was really disappointed this. I feel like
Netflix just cuts checks and they put out a lot
of slop and this was a slop. This was a

(17:39):
slop fest. So I hated that movie. I really, I
really hated it because I don't turn like what. I
felt like it was a waste of my time to
finish it. I did eventually finish it, but I think
if it's something you don't have to finish a movie
just because it's there. You can turn it off and
watch something else. You can read a book. So I
turned it off. I had had enough.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Say something I hated, but it again, this is more
of a personal hatred, it's not universal. So I spent
the last four days in New England. My son's gone
to a camp in Friburg, Maine. It's called forest, it's
called Indian Acres. Sorry, Forest Acres is the girls camp
Indian Acres. He loves it and he had a great
great weekends like parents weekend, right, so you go up

(18:21):
there and visit.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
Well, I think I think it's called Guardian Acres now, Doug.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
I think when I when I, when I have something
to make them change it, when I, uh will go
for lunch, like you know, New England lots of pubs
and taverns, lots of them, and so I do a
little research on witch pub and tavern different kinds of food,
you know, like there's one that's got great lobster and
lobster roles, it's one that's got good barbecue whatever. I

(18:48):
had forgotten that the Midwest and especially Northeastern bar at
lunch is very different than the West Coast bar at lunch.
The West Coast bar at lunch is for I want
to watch some sports, I want to get some food.
I may want to make a little eye contact, quick
conversation with the bartender, but outside of that, it's a

(19:08):
way to kind of eat quickly and get stuff done
and get out. It's restaurant liked the New England bar
is you sit down and those people apparently have nothing
going on, nothing to do, and they simply want to
hear your life story and share with you yours, which
is very endearing. It's just I'm not Cliff Cleveland. This

(19:31):
is not Cheers. I don't I like being where someone
no one knows my name. I want to be where
somebody no one knows my name, not where everybody knows
my name. It's like I'm sitting down there and I'm
getting interviewed before I go on a first eight with
a girl or before I get a job. Like literally
every day you sit down any where you from, what
do you think of the sucks? What are you thinking

(19:51):
of uniforms? What do you think of the patriots? I
like to hire up. What do you think? Like just pepper,
pepper Pepper, Like, hey, dude, I just I really wanted
a smash burger and a and Arnold Palmer, and I
want to eat it as fast as I can and
give the waiter a little or bartender or bar yeah,
bartender a little tip, and I want to get out.

(20:13):
So I just hate that I can't just be isolated
at the bar the way I am on the West coast.
When you get to the Midwest, especially northeast where the
Northeast is not friendly people unless you sit down to
Bay at lunchtime on a Thursday of Friday, especially in
a Friday, when lunch becomes happy out, which becomes dinner,

(20:36):
which becomes go home and talk about the socks.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Some do name Doug.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Some do name Doug, and that is loving. Hey.

Danny B. I love that. By the way. August twenty fourth,
you're back in Scannie, Just so you know, we have
an elite camp that day. So I will try and
make that work to play golf and do my duties.
All goody.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
It doesn't work out, it's okay, No.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
I get if nothing else, I get your tea time
for sure.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
All right.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
You gotta play at night. But I do have some
new woods to get my new irons this week as well,
so maybe by then be a little bit more competitive
with you. It'd be a lot of fun like that.
Should I tell the paparazzi you're not tell them you're coming.
It's very difficult.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
All I know is nobody better be talking to me
at lunch, you know, like if we're grabbing a bite, Doug,
they better stay away, right. We just want to enjoy
our sandwiches.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Just want to enjoy our sandwiches. That's it. Hey, do
you guys hear what eron what Terry Bradshaw said about
Aaron Rodgers that that he should eat bark instead of
being quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Is that is that right?
Jay stew Is eat bark? Did I read that quote correctly?

Speaker 5 (22:13):
He should stay in California and eat bark?

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yes, Like that is more than you're a tree hugger,
You're a tree eater, right that? Yeah, it was, It
was something. It was something so Terry Bradshaw obviously four
time Super Bowl champion, he said. He also went on

(22:41):
to say that's a joke. That to me is just
a joke in regards to Aaron Rodgers playing for the
Pittsburgh Steelers. He didn't say the bark was a joke.
He said, Aaron Rodgers playing with the Steelers is a joke.
So take a listen. This is with This is with
the NFL Network, right. This is Aaron Rodgers' response, and

(23:07):
I think he was talking to Kyle Brandt at the time.
KB asked him about what Terry Bradshaw said. Here's a response.

Speaker 7 (23:15):
I've known Terry for a long time being a part
of Fox. Terry's a legend. He's an absolute legend. He
won four Super Bowls, He's had a legendary career in
the media. But Terry, like a lot of people, doesn't
know me, and so he's got an idea of what
he thinks about me based on what I've done, the documentary,

(23:37):
what I've said, Darkness Retreat, whatever the hell you want
to talk about. I'd love to get to know Terry
on a deeper level, and I feel like if he
gave me a chance to get to know him, they
would have a good friendship. Because for me, I have
nothing but the utmost amount of respect and deference for
what the greats have done, because they laid the foundation
for us to be able to play in this great game,

(23:59):
to be paid kings, and to carry on the tradition
of excellence that guys like the Bradshaws of the world
in the seventies and Bart Starr in the sixties, and
Lombardy and Joe Montana and Steve Young and Troy Aikman
and Brett Farv and all the greats that have been
over Tom Brady. You know, we're standing on the backs
of those guys, and it's because of how they played

(24:20):
and how they carried themselves. They were able to have
this opportunity to still play this great game, to get
paid really well, to set ourselves up for our future.
So I'd love to get to know Terry on a
deeper level if he's open to it, and maybe we
can go choose some bark or whatever the hell he's
talking about together, you.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Know, what does he actually talk about. Look, you're allowed
to be critical of Aaron Rodgers if you don't like
the vaccine thing, some of the things he said on
Pat McAfee. Obviously, there were times in which his body language,
especially in Green Bay at the end, wasn't great, and

(24:57):
many times in Green Bay loud to have to not
think he's the greatest, and I don't like this or
I don't like that, I could I find it really
hard to find fault with anything of what he said
in that response, right, anything of what he said. I mean,
it's one of those like he didn't use a PR firm,

(25:20):
but he came out with the perfect PR firm type
of personal response, which is, Hey, Terry's a legend, he's awesome.
Of Course I know who he is. Of course I
heard him, you know, but he doesn't know me. So
he's talking about something he doesn't know. And it was
a really nice way of saying, he's got no freaking

(25:40):
idea what the freak he's talking about, right, only not
saying freak. But he didn't do that. He didn't do
the Aaron Rodgers arrogant brush off. That's the dumbest thing
ever he did. The he's awesome, he's a guardian of
the game. He's been around a long time. I'm honored
to play the position and for the team that he

(26:01):
played for. It essentially what he's saying, But he's talking
about stuff he doesn't know, and if he wants to
know me, like I'm here, come let's hang out. Isn't
it interesting? Right? Like this is why Aaron Rodgers is
that the Steelers are maybe the most interesting team in
the NFL. You have Mike Tomlin, who's just been above
average has passed I don't know, five six years. You'll

(26:23):
have people who constantly said, like, wow, it's time for
them to move on. But it's really hard to move
on when a guy never has a bad year. They
may have disappointing years where they don't win big, but
they don't have bad years. But it does feel like
we're getting closer and closer to the Hey, is he
gonna have a great year ever? Or is he tired
of it? He wants to do television. Aaron Rodgers in

(26:44):
a you know what, I just I want to have fun,
I want to play, I want to win one more time.
And the Steelers as an organization have kind of gone
all in on the year, a lot of one year deals.
And by the way, if you're wondering why they redid TJ.
Watts steel it's because when redo a deal, it ends
up kicking that salary number down the road some so

(27:05):
you can get more short term stuff done. All makes
sense together. The Steelers are all in on the ear,
Mike Tomlin's on in the year, Aaron Rodgers are all
in on the ear, and what could have been a
massive distraction when the winningest Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback of all
time tells says about the new Steelers quarterback, it's a
joke that he's playing there and he should stay in
California and eat bark. And what did he do till

(27:28):
everybody relaxed and he handled like a pro? Yeah, Jase
do So.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
I know you're a person that's extremely familiar with the
ESPN misrepresenting you and a headline. So I'm just looking
through the ESPN headlines this weekend. The listeners just listened
to that response. I agree with you. It was an amazing,
amazingly gracious response. This is the headline from ESPN dot com.

(27:57):
Rogers on Bradshaw Barbes cole One. He doesn't know me. Now.
If I read that headline, I'm like, whoa, we got
former Hall of Famer versus future Hall of Famer. We've
got fireworks. I'm gonna click. I'm going to read what
was said. But to me, the ESPN headline writer completely
did Rogers dirty there. There there was almost zero conflict

(28:20):
in that entire response.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
What do you think by her?

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Well, yeah, headline writers are definitely not one hundred percent
I can tell you that, and you can even even
as we know here, you know, sometimes we'll have conversations
with the people that write our headlines for what we're
putting out there, and sometimes we agree and sometimes we disagree.
I was going to make some sarcastic comment and make
a joke and ha ha about it, but I'll just

(28:47):
say this. It's amazing to me and how the Pittsburgh
Steelers quarterbacks just hate the other Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks throughout history.
And I know that we're only talking about two big
figures prior to Aaron Rodgers. It seems like Rogers is
going against the grain in a way where maybe he
doesn't want to hate other Pittsburgh Steeler quarterbacks, but my goodness,

(29:08):
it's Terry Bradshaw has done this to Ben Roethlisberger. Ben
Roethlisberger feels like if anybody was brought in to even
remotely challenge him or whatever, there's always this game being
played like for some reason, this organization is it's immune
to criticisms that I think we would have with other
organizations because they're the Steelers, it's the Roonies, it's the

(29:31):
whole deal. But Aaron Rodgers complementing another Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback
great is actually out of the norm for the Steelers.
It's pretty crazy because Terry did the same stuff with
Ben Roethlisberger, and I wasn't a huge Roethlisberger fan. Roethlisberger
wasn't perfect in his time. I think a lot of
us felt that he was phony. And at least Aaron

(29:53):
Rodgers is trying trying to almost extend a ballive branch,
if you will, Yeah, or an ologe branch one of
those as well.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
It is weird that the Pittsburgh Steethers guys, don't they
if you have, I don't get it, and we all
just get along.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yeah, it's like ones. Like maybe it starts with Bradshaw
because he's so protective about his legacy. But I don't
remember anything like this, like even in Doug in Your
Neck of the Woods with Green Bay when bart Starr
was alive, like he and Brett Favre had a relationship,
and then when Rogers was there, Favard Rodgers ending up
kind of you know, soothing things out. I think Rogers

(30:31):
has always been welcoming to the other quarterbacks there, even
when Jordan Love was there of being brought in, but
there's reaching back to the past for some reason in Pittsburgh.
It's like a it's a negative thing. I don't get
it it is.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
Go ahead, Daed Doug, the Texas man accused of stalking
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, pled guilty today as part
of a plea deal to stalking and harassment in court
in indian stalking interrestment charges in Indianapolis. Earlier today, fifty
five year old Michael Lewis was arrested in Indianapolis on

(32:10):
January twelfth. Sent numerous threats plus sexually explicit images were
placed on social media trying to be sent to Clark.
The fifty five year old is facing now eighteen months
in prison. What was interesting today was that the defendant
Lewis started talking and wouldn't shut up, and the judge

(32:34):
apparently had to say, you're about to talk yourself out
of this plea agreement, so in essence, shut up. But
the fifty five year old Clark said that he did
all this because he wanted her to be safe. He
never threatened her, he said. He says he's never thought
about threatening her. Says he did all this to show
the gaps and holes that were in security in protecting

(32:58):
Caitlin Clark. That was Michael Lewis's defense today, all while
accepting the plea deal of stalking and harassing theu W.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
I only robbed the bank to show that you can
in fact rob the bank, right, Yes, I want her
to be safe, so I'm going to make her feel
unsafe wherever she goes by stalking her.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
Got it kind of clever? I don't know, it's not
gonna work.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Well. You know, look, I'm the father of two nineteen
year old nineteen year old girls, and you know when
I talk to my daughters and they're like, I just
gas stations. There's just creepy. It can be creepy guys
out there, you know. And you want to say, like,
it's not creepy guys like you just you live in

(33:48):
a safe place to save partment. Then you hear about
these things and you're like, you feel bad about posting
anything about your kids on social media. So yeah, I'm
glad he's off the street. Two and a half years
not enough for me. And yeah, all stalkers think they're
just doing right by their victims.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
I will say one of the most startling videos in
pertaining to this was the Drew Barrymore stalker. I don't
know if you ever saw that, Doug, But then she
was on stage at one point doing like a one
on one chat and the stalkers showed up and shouted
out and she freaked out. It is it's very alarming
and oh my god, I mean, I can't imagine what

(34:29):
it's like even even if this man is, you know,
behind bars, Like if you're Caitlin Clark and her family,
you want like a fifty year sentence. So this guy
never walks the face of the earth to be that nervous.
Just also, it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
You're not going to deter crazy, but maybe maybe deters
somebody around crazy. Sure, right, Like here's the guy who
got caught red handed posts stuff on social media. There's
another guys like, yeah, you send m something really severe
and not that prison's a walk in the park at
two and a half years. But you do it for
a substantial amount of time. Does it make others think twice?

(35:07):
Or people around others, you know, be like, dude, you're
gonna change yourself locked up for your life.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Cleveland Guardian's closer Emmanuel Classe, who also is thought to
be a possible target as the trade deadline comes up
later this week, was placed on nondisciplinary leave as he's
under investigation as part of Baseball's probe in the gambling.
It's the second time this month of Guardian's pitcher was
placed on league on leave of that is, as the
league looks into abnormalities in sports betting.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
So the Guardians have been potentially throwing games. But a
pitcher throws the game, throw through a.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
Game, Yes, all, I got you in again.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
It could be just one batter, right, just hitting a batsman.
There's all kinds of things you can bet on within
a game baseball.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
Oh, there's video. There's video of Claisse. Dan really liked
the video of the other picture. Yeah, very obvious. Yeah,
he was throwing a ball. It's a fifty to fifty
bet striker ball. On the first pitch. The last Guardian
that got in trouble made sure that he threw a ball,
what eight feet in front of home point and get
that bet.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
Yeah. I got a joke that I'm gonna tweet out
guys here.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
No I don't, it will work, will work.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
No, I've already got the joke. It set up like
it's done. You're about to see it. If I was
fifty cent, I would immediately tweet I bet on first
pitch ball because fifty cents. Remember fifty cents, first pitch
was nowhere near nowhere near same thing with Baba Bowie.

(36:42):
This class a pitch, maybe I won't tweet it. This
class a pitch barely made it past the grass like
it truly was. It was a strike dog on one hop.
That's how bad it was.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Uh, yep, I'm much right now.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
Yeah, it's awful. The Titans released former first round pick
wide receiver Traylon Burns has a shoulder injury. He has
no future now in Tennessee. Remember he was the first
round pick after the team traded AJ Brown to the
Tennessee Titans. A lot of people putting up the graphics
of what that trade ended up breaking down to be.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
But the the old that's that's also why the old
GM lost his job, right.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Yeah, Mike Vrabel wasn't happy with the deal as well,
a lot of that And that's the press that get
out there and.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Press that was the press.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
Uh, we're gonna talk about uniforms on on the on
the Pod. I mean, Dan, you're a uniform police Red Sox.
You're playing the Dodgers. Where are your normal uniforms? They're
