(00:43):
Pretty good night in sports last night, guys, Pretty good night.
And and you know we're all well, I don't want
to say we're all of the same opinion. We have
some form of opinion on Thursday night football not always
or maybe more often than not, not being the best
representation of the NFL, or maybe Jason Stewart's like, hey,
(01:06):
this is actually the NFL. Everybody else is trying to
pretend like it's better than it is fair.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Jay, Yeah, I think my opinion has always been that
we're in the Zeropa phase of the NFL and the
product is worsening in front of our eyes, but nobody
wants to fix it because there's no incentive to fix
it because it's the highest rated product in the world.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
My take on it is yeah. I mean, like, look,
you capitalized in that window. Obviously they're doing it for money.
I thought last night, whether it was a great, well
played game or not, it was super interesting in a
good watch because it's the Giants, because it's the Eagles.
Baseball wise, last night, well you had the Cubs dominate
(01:51):
in the Brewers Brewers three hits and Dodgers Phil's was
an amazingly pitched game. I texted this to you, Jay
Stu after the game was over, and I did say
that bullpen won bad for the Dodgers, like we can
There's lots of takeaways we can have and we discussed
a bunch of them with Kirkering kind of blowing that
(02:14):
last play. And it's not like Bessie doesn't give you.
I mean he gives you anxiety watching him pitch, right,
Like I get that he did not give up an
earned run, but it was not the easiest way to
get there, and he's sweating out there. Is the difference, simply,
Sasaki is?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Simply the difference is now of a sudden we're going
to use him, and he was. He was dynamic for
three innings.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I mean, you're a head coach, so you'll you'll definitely
understand this part. Right. It's not necessarily that's just one
person that fixes everything. But if you if you change
the chemistry of a very sensitive ecosystem. Every single roster
is a sensitive ecosystem. If you change the chemistry, maybe
just a jar, you put somebody maybe where they typically
(03:01):
don't play, it might change and inspire the entire roster.
Now we need show Heyo Tani to wake up somebody's
got a pound on his door on Monday night and say, hey,
the postseason is here. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Show hey o Tani, who's hitting one hit one eighty
four in the DS Still a fun good watch? I
thought visually granted, Giant Stadium or met Life whatever it's
called now, is the third in these. But if you're
watching baseball and you go from Chavez Ravine to Wrigley Field,
you're like this, at least visually, that was as pleasing
(03:42):
a night as you're ever gonna get, no doubt, right,
Like this is awesome sunset in La to a night
game in Wrigley. I know you hate when I do this,
so I'm not gonna throw out percentages, but this is
an honest question, you guys, how many young baseball fans know?
(04:02):
Do you think a lot of young bands baseball fans know?
They watched last night that the Cubs used to not
have lights until the late eighties, and the late eighties
now seem like a long way away. They were right,
but in the grand scheme of things, everywhere else was
lit up at that point in time except for Notre
Dame football and Cubs baseball. And I'm just watching last
(04:26):
night and I'm like, this is so basically please like
when the Cubs didn't have lights?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Go ahead, Dan, I was just gonna say, I think
nineteen eighty eight is so far away for so many people,
especially the generations that were born you know, after that
or at that point, Like, it just doesn't it doesn't compute.
Even guys who work here who are born in two thousand.
It would be it would be distant history. It'd be
(04:51):
like I think us thinking of Ted Williams and Joe
DiMaggio when we were growing up. I think it's so
far away it wouldn't even like it wouldn't even like
they would think like, well, yeah, of course, because you
probably didn't have a lot of electricity in nineteen eighty eight,
(05:12):
you know, right, Like that's like that's how they would think.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
That reminds me. I haven't done any power rankings this season.
Thanks Dan from the NFL Baseball NFL power rankings.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But for the NFL.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Power is power literally race sources of power, nuclear.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Horse horsepower, wind power.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Geothermal, geo, thermal power.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Dan mentioned electricity. It reminded me of I.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Will willpower power, willpower.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Also, he's also a race is at a race car driver,
will power, the.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Power of yes, the power of new, power of new,
hydraulic power, hydraulic power. Last night, good night baseball. I
think tomorrow will be You know, you got all of
a sudden, the Brewers can't hit. That series changed. If
the Brewers lose the series. I think they lost it
in the eighth inning of Game three, put a runner
(06:11):
on second, and they'd been a team that would had
bunted people into scoring position or to third in the past,
and they didn't do it, and they scored scored zero
runs the eighth inning and they were down a run
at the time. Anyway, that's enough about baseball. We are
attracted to the idea of a franchise quarterback. And something
(06:39):
I've always thought as funny, as are there times in
which you do all the work, you do the due diligence,
and you draft a guy, you develop a guy, and
you're rewarded. Yes, that does happen. It does happen, but
I think it's fascinating on some of these quarterbacks. Like Mahomes,
they had a great plan. Hey, we got Alex Smith draft,
(07:02):
they moved up in the draft, drafted him. He sat
for years, started the seventeenth game, and then they trade
away Alex Smith and then it was his team. Like
for Kansas City, they found their franchise quarterback and they
put him in a position where he had to clean
a lot of things up. And he's under a pros
pro and Alex Smith, and he's become inarguably a Hall
of Famer and arguably the greatest quarterback of all time
(07:26):
based upon what he's done to this point in his career.
But it's like I look at Justin Herbert and we
all know this to be true. Like to LESCo will
probably never say it, but it to have been available
and Herbert been available, I think they were gonna take Tua.
(07:46):
We can all say the Baltimore Ravens had developed Lamar Jackson,
but remember they passed on Lamar Jackson with their first
first round pick that season. They drafted a tight end
and then they circle back and drafted Lamar Jackson. Doesn't
mean they didn't I think he'd be a starting quarterback.
There's no way they thought he would be an MVP,
let alone multiple time MVP. I say that because the
(08:07):
Giants look like they have a starting quarterback. I don't
know if they have a franchise changing quarterback. I don't
know if he's for the next five to ten years
he's their guy. I do know that in this short term,
there's great energy behind him, there's belief behind him. It's fun,
he does have talent. It'll work for now. The question
(08:32):
is does it work long term. Lots of guys have
worked for a year, Lots of guys have worked. You know,
Vince Young famously didn't start to start his rookie season
with the Titans, then became a starter. Somehow he was
voted to the Pro Bowl, which was ridiculous. But ultimately
he wasn't a guy who could develop a second pitch.
(08:53):
He wasn't a guy who could develop into being able
to read defenses. It was half the field. Once he
had to mature, he could not. Here's Brian Dable, who
you know, noted quarterback, whisper, head coach of the Giants,
on Jackson Dark's performance.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Good team win.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
That's a division team on the road or at home
should I say home? Crowd was awesome, but we got
to give him a reason to be awesome too. So
another good game by a rookie quarterback, but another good
game from everybody around him. And that's what we need it.
You know, it's not about one guy, it's about a team.
Two turnovers on defense, very good third down execution on offense,
(09:34):
rand the ball well, finished the game. You know, it's
good to have a young leader like Dark.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
So I think there's there's something there. This is classic
coach one oh one, and I think Jason knows it.
Dan knows it that when you're going to start a
rookie quarterback. You always make sure everybody remembers that he's
both young and a rookie. Everything he will mention about
Jackson Dart is he's young and he's a rookie. Did
(10:05):
I mention he's a rookie who's young and he's young,
who he's a rookie because that kind of cleans it
up when there is a mistake, when there is a
bad performance, when there is three picks, you're like, Wow,
he's young and he's a rookie. When you're trying to
save your job, you always go young, right, always look
to the future. And before we go crazy about Jackson
(10:29):
Dart and how amazing he was, he doesn't have his
top wide receiver, but he only threw for one ninety five,
completed seventeen passes, and ran the football a ton. But
I think we all know that if he's going to
take those hits, he's not going to last. I'm not
willing to call it as their starter for the next
(10:50):
ten years because in order to start in New York,
you don't just have to wake up after a good game,
after a good win and go do it again. You
got to wake up after a bad performance and get
absolutely pummeled by the media, get pummeled by your fans.
No one doesn't. There isn't a soul out there who
(11:12):
doesn't go through tough times as a starting quarterback in
the NFL. Can you have that same joyful, youthful energy,
deliver the football when the fans are booing you, when
the weather's bad, when the offensive line breaks down? As
of now, great, am I buying stock?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Am I holding stock? Yes? Am I selling stock? Absolutely not.
I think it could be the feel good story of
the NFC East. It could be the feel good story
of the NFC. But we did have Tommy DeVito and
his agent become a thing like a year and a
half ago. So forgive me if i'm if I bring
(11:59):
in the b of I've seen false profits before. I
need to see it continue to develop and evolve over
time going forward. If you want me to fully buy
into the Giants finding their franchise quarterback, is that unfair, Dan.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Byer, No, It's not unfair at all. And I actually
think that you could use Daniel Jones's emergence early on
in his rookie campaign with the Giants as the cautionary
tale that even at times if you see success. Maybe
not at the grandest of stages, but Daniel Jones had
success early on as the starting quarterback in New York.
(12:34):
Then they went on that playoff run, they gave him
the contract. So yes, I don't want to say proceed
with caution, but I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (12:44):

get to our Jays Dude team parlay with Jason Stewart.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Thank you, Doug. I'll take it from here. I'll take it.
I need you guys to rush to the beding window
for this one. Rush to the beding window because the
game starts here in about three hours. South Florida visits
North Texas. This is a game, South Florida. This is
a game North visiting North Texas. Undefeated Northeas.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Denton, Texas.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I've got so many voices on my head. I have
the the actual singer, I've got the fake singer, and
I've got Sam. So if I don't respond to any
of those, it's because I'm being overwhelmed in my ears.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Is your sciatica heard as well?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
You and Lebron no, just my deafness, the disability that
I have filed with the government. South Florida is getting
two and a half points at North Texas. South Florida
is getting two and a half points at North Texas
takes South Florida, and I need you to pair him
(15:06):
with another team for the j Stude Parlay Jays two
team Parlay Florida. Caloro State is hosting Fresno State and
they're getting six and a half points. I like Colorado
State there Fresno State. Just a memo to you, Trent
Dilfer out o Wampac High in the Central Central Coast.
He's not coming through that door tonight. Colorado State, South
(15:28):
Florida Jays two team Parlay, thank you. Thank me. On Monday,
dan By.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
One of the cardinal sins of a gambler is to
show their hand, and Iowa Sam was on to me earlier.
You were on to me earlier, Doug. I kind of
showed my hand for a pick this week. Cleveland's a
six and a half point dog going on the road
to Pittsburgh. While all things, all things are in line
for the Steelers to get a win and cover that game,
(15:58):
I'm going with the one two punch of Dylan Gabriel
and Shador Sanders at quarterback to at least cover against
the Steelers on Sunday, Browns plus six and a half
Give me that.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
By the way, guys, how cringey is that commercial where
they're at like a boardroom meeting and the guy sees
his boss's coffee mug and it's got a Georgia bulldog
on it.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
He starts like barking, Yes, it's very cringey.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
In other words, I was trying to recreate that. Thank you,
yes that it brought that to my to my mind. There,
let's look at listen, Northwestern's visiting Penn State. This is
oh and two Penn State team. They're irritated. They're hair
over twenty one point favorites here three touchdown favorites. I
think they're gonna unleash hell on Northwestern. I'm gonna pick
Penn State to blow them out and cover that twenty
(16:44):
one and a half.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
New end run, Doug, what do you got?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Well, I'm going to the NFL this weekend instead of
college football. I know my pick was great last weekend,
but I mean it. I liked I love this Jacksonville pick.
I think they're dealing with good momentum. I know it's
on a short week and Seattle. I love how they
played offensively, and I know Sam Donald pulled the Sam
Donald and under pressure got hit and through an interception late.
(17:15):
But that's a long trip. It may not equal out
to a short turnaround, but it's pretty close. Jacksonville as
a home dog with a four and one start, which
they very easily could be five. And oh and I
think they're actually pretty good, not that Seattle's beat. I
like Jacksonville straight up, straight up, and I'm getting a
point a half. Give me the Jaguars, Jacks. These Jaguars
(17:39):
not always in the shop.
Speaker 9 (17:42):
He let's say no when loud, not walk away.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
You never money.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
Yeah, Tom and the for count.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
At least no, no, no, No.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Cotton Bowl Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio.
You can see him on Big Noon Kickoff tomorrow. Of
course he's got his bear Bets podcast. He's one only.
Chris Felika, Fox Sports betting analyst the Coast of the
bear Bets Podcast, joins us in the Doug Gottlieb Show
on Fox Sports Radio. I think that was Jay Stu.
Jay Seu is all over this North Texas game, right,
(18:31):
that was that a jay stew that was your your
pick early South Florida, North Texas. Uh, the mean Green
at home? My lean is the mean Green at home
South Florida. Everybody's darling after two big wins. Of course
they got smashed by Miami. Do you have a lien
with the with the Mean Green getting two and a
half lay in two and.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
A half, it feels like a higher scoring game just
cause South Florida goes so fast. Could be an up
and down the field type of North Texa. Certainly there
were a team that got a little bit of like
under the radar I type love is a trendy pick
and that conference to win. And just because of the
start that the Bulls had, people have kind of gotten
(19:12):
off their sent a little bit. But uh, the kind
of reversed things tonight and pick up a win. I
think a lot more about the people. More people might
be talking about the Mean Green. I'm not gonna play it,
I will I will be watching. Feels like a higher
scoring game, but a bit is a very high number to.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Go over, no question about it. Let's get into some
of the big games the weekend. My game that I
actually am most interested in. Uh, is not the Red
River game. It's nott Ohio State Illinois. Uh, it's not
the Big SEC game. It's Oregon hosting Indiana. Oregon hosting India.
I mean, of course, we all knew when the Big
(19:48):
Ten combined with the Pac twelve schools, this would be
the big matchup. I'm kidding.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Clearly, absolutely, the Hoosiers football program is going to emerge,
and and and Oregon would it would emerge as they
the second best team in the Big Ten. Clearly we
all knew that. It is interesting though, because not only
at Austin but also in Como this week, you go
over the last couple of years, the two best home
(20:12):
records in the country you have been Oregon and Missouri,
and you got Missouri as a small home dog, and
then you got Oregon in a top ten matchup this week.
But I like Oregon in this game. I think there's
been a little bit of an overreaction to Penn State
losing at UCLA. Have a couple we everyone's like, Oh, Oregon,
they might be the best team in the country. Now
(20:33):
they went to Penn State and won in the white out.
And now because Penn State lost to UCLA. Everyone's like, uh,
I don't know. You might have to rethink Cerol's about Oregon.
If you think that the Penn State that showed up
the same night as the white out, it's the same
team that showed up in front of six thousand at
the roads ball last week. Same team. You're your way
off base. This is an Oregon team that doesn't allow
(20:54):
teams to run. They're really good on both sides, the
ball up front and them binding line discrimmage and indian
the last couple of years. You look at last year
when they won on the road against Notre Dame in
the playoffs and against Ohio State in the regular season.
The offense did nothing and the offense didn't do anything
a couple weeks ago, kn't of either thirty had thirteen
points on the board until final minute and a half
(21:15):
two minutes of the game. He scored thirty two points
in those two games. Last year three and a half
yards of play, didn't score a touchdown on Notre Dame
until a minute and a half to go in the game.
It was thirty one to seven last year Ohio State
before they scored again. Whatever the reason is, it hasn't
traveled on the road against good teams, so we'll see.
I think Oregon comes out with chip on the shoulder
(21:38):
and they get a big win here at home.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I aloways stay got clipped by Cincinnati on the road.
They got down big and couldn't come back. I'm actually
stunned that Colorado is only a two and a half
point dog at home. See You has not looked like
one of the top teams in the Big in the
Big twelve, and then you have Dion with his health issues.
Iowa States take two and a half point favorite on
(22:03):
the road at Colorado fifty one a half's the total?
Am I crazy to love Iowa State.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
In this pick? I think you are crazy because I
actually liked see You and I grabbed See You plus three.
Iowa State's got a bunch of injuries in the secondary.
They allowed a eight yards of play last week against Cincinnati.
And if Colorado doesn't turn living, it's a massive it.
You know they If I had you know what, I'd.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Be a queen, had a parent, you know what, should
be the king. If I had two heads, I'd be
in the circus.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Got it exactly, But Salter, see you could have beaten BYU.
See you could have won last week as well against
TCU late touchdown, get bad beat if you had see
You last week. If Saltan doesn't turn the ball over,
I think they have an opportunity to put up some
points here on the board. Iowa States a team. I
think we all got a little high August. They won
a couple of coin flip games, and they won the
(22:56):
sidehawk game, and they wanted to they want and doubled
against kse T. I don't know. Look, I am a
massive Iowa State supporter, but I think see You plus
the points seem might be the right side.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Red River rivalry OEU Texas feels like Mattia is gonna play.
Also feels like Texas just disappointing. But in what this
is one of those games where sometimes things flip. Sooners
are a point favorite. Totals forty four and a half
looks like a hot day in Big D.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I'm not sure about Matier playing, and even if he
does haliffect, He's gonna remember earlier this year coaches loved
to manipulate this. This injury report. He had Laine down
an old miss kind of said Alton Simmons. Oh yeah,
he's he's probable on the injury. Then he didn't play.
He had a couple of years ago in the Red
River game when oh you pulled the charade about about
(23:50):
Dylan Gabriel who got a concussion the previous week, and
all week long, my guys would say, he's not playing,
he's not playing, he's not playing. And then morning of
the game, he everyone sees him out there and going
through the warm up with the helmet on in full
uni and everyone said, oh see he's out there, he's
gonna play. And then he comes out in shorts and
T shirt. It doesn't play. So I think there's a
(24:10):
bit of gamesman ship going on here. I even as
actually acquitted a second the line from the Natural about
yeah Roy Hobbs. Yeah, but I don't want to play
and find Goody with his inside he's is valuable to
us in the lineup, is out of the lineup, and
we're dark twenty thousand dollars richer. I think if if
the teer plays like Texas defense, you know they're just
(24:30):
gonna be gunning for his hand every single play. So
I don't know. I like Texas here plus plus the
up one, I like him basically to win the game.
I think I think last week how poor their defense
was was alarming. But this is also an Oklahoma offense
that really is kind of middling in terms of the
yards for play when you take into account for a
(24:51):
schedule adjustment. Uh, kind of a kind of a good
spot here to uh to catch Texas now with the
line is flipped.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Okay, you mentioned Alabama there three point favorite at Missouri
totals fifty one and a half. This an Alabama team
that look last couple of weeks has looked really really good.
But at some point, like do you get worn down
by by Georgia, Vanderbilt and now Missouri on the road
before you get Tennessee in South Carolina, before you get a.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Week off, you just hit it right on the head
with the the Nations flongus home winning straight. You get
revenge from loser it as a twenty three and a
half point dog last year. Now you got to go
to a fresh Missouri team was off a bye, and
we don't know how good Missouri is, but you know
the ageball like revenge and teams and how much that's
(25:40):
a an incentive and a motivating and I'm sure you've
been on the on the losing side of a lot
of a lot of games, and you couldn't wait for
the opportunity to get a little bit of revenge next year.
And I went back and look, well, last year was
thirty four to notf in Alabama. Drew Pine replaced an
injured Brady Cook through three picks, and I went back
and looked just to see if I was like completely
(26:02):
off base in it. If you get back last twenty
five years, ranked teams that were lost by more than
thirty points at a shutout loss with you having the
opportunity venue in the following year, there have been eight
instances in the last twenty five years. Five of the
eight one out right, two lost by a field goal,
and one wound up losing to Alabama, which wound up
(26:25):
winning the national championship that year. So it doesn't happen often,
but when it does happen, there is something to kind
of and you know, Eli Dregwitz and that staff is
going to have the following at the mouth Alabama a
lot two hundred and thirty yards on the ground of
Florida State by two thirty on the ground to Georgia
UH with Hardy and Probula duel for a guy. I
(26:47):
think it's a great spot in Como for an upset tomorrow.

You do say you will.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Okay, let's bring in buyer. Buyer. Any concern about your
Buckeyes taking on Illinois.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Yeah, I mean there's there's concern no matter how big
of a favorite that you are. Road game. Uh, Julian
Saying's second career start on the road, that could always
be of question, but he's been brilliant so far. I
expect Ohio State to win, but there's always a bit
of of hesitation for sure.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
You know, one of the games that I was thinking
about is the Oklahoma State game. They're taking on Houston
and they're a big home dog, but part of it is,
you know, they're down to a walk on quarterback because
they lost their top two quarterbacks and they've had two
or three of their best players put themselves in the
portal this week. It's like they're at home against Houston,
(28:00):
who has been okay. The other four to one fairly
solve schedule, been okay. But there's so many of these. Yeah, No,
they get destroyed by Tech Tech. First of all, Texas Tech,
guys is like a thirty million dollar team. So a
lot of teams that get destroyed by Texas Tech. Okay,
they're really really really really good, really good, and we're not.
(28:20):
Oklahoma State is really not good.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Thirty five to eleven isn't a a destruction now.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
On the road, that's a good win. No, who said
Texas Tech is really good?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
No, Texas Tech is legit.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Man.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
They went and beat Utah at Utah, and I think
everyone can if there's a team from the Big twelve
that could compete nationally based upon personnel, and that personnel
is because of the money they spent, it's Texas Tech.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I still go back to Brett your Mark's comments at
Big twelve media Day when saying when they were talking
about the formats of the playoffs and why they were
siding with a like a five plus eleven model that
the SEC was pushing for as opposed to like the
four plus four plus two. You know, YadA YadA, YadA.
(29:07):
Any any any said that like he believes in the
schools in the future, and I think he was. He
was talking about Texas Tech like of being that school
of in this world of college football right now, or
of the arms race and the wallet race. Maybe that
Texas Tech is going to be well equipped to compete.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I think they'll be well equipped to compete.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
I think that's what that's like when we look at
them and we're like, where are their good teams? I
think his point is Texas Tech is going to be
spending money. They are going to be like this is
this is the arrival of Texas Tech, and that they
won't be going anywhere for a while.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I think Texas Tech. I think BYU. But he says
they have the money, although most of that's in basketball,
and you know, Ryan Smith is putting it in basketball.
I just don't know if they have enough teams. I mean,
part of it is just size of alumni, you know,
you have and type of alumni. But the Oakland State
when you got Oaklhand State, you got Virginia Tech. You
(30:13):
have UCLA going on the road to Michigan State after
their gigantic win against Penn State. What does that look
like like? This is a These guys still have days
in which they can enter the portal.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
The Press, Doug.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
I'll get to the headlines of the day. But there's
a little little meat on the bone from last night's
Eagles Giants game, including this play that happened. Courtesy of
Amazon Prime with a minute twenty seven left to go
on the third quarter. The Giants were facing a third
down and nine from the forty two yard line of
(31:31):
Philadelphia when Russell Wilson had to enter the game.
Speaker 10 (31:35):
Dang playclock at one, claps his hands, gets it away,
throws and that's incomplete. So it's fourth down. So the
crowd bends. It's frustration. Well, they can't wait for Dark
(31:56):
to get back in the game.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, I mean, go ahead, Dan, you gotta smile, and
you got smiling.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
No, I served it up for you.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I'm so glad you served that up. The dog such
great with the sound.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
It's so good. Can we hear it one more time?
It's really really good one more time?
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Okay, all right, you're right here. It is courtesy of
Amazon Prime and Al Michaels play.
Speaker 10 (32:27):
Clock at one, claps his hands, gets it away, throws
and that's incomplete. So it's fourth down.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
So the crowd bence.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
It's frustration.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
It's so amazing.
Speaker 10 (32:46):
We can't wait for Dark to get back.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
In the game.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Russell Wilson through one pass.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
That was the only pass he threw all day. Yes,
and they boot him and like Dart was in the tent, right,
and they couldn't wait. Here's Russell Wilson. This is amazing.
We are how many years are were we? Four years?
Five years removed from less rut Let Russ Cook? Right,
let Russ Cook. Super Bowl champion quarterback, two time Super
(33:16):
Bowl performing quarterback, and somebody who I think if you
look on the resume again, we can have a great
discussion about it. Probably a Hall of famer, not first Baut,
but a Hall of famer. And I mean, and he
started the season at quarterback. They almost beat the Cowboys
in week two. Yes, and he played great.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
And now he throws one pass and you're like, get
it out of here, give me the rookie.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
This is what it's come to.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
And Doug, you and I differed on whether Russell Wilson
will play next season. I after seeing this, I think
it's now a given that he will because if you
draft a rookie quarterback, just bring in Russell Wilson, let
him start the first two games and they'll be craving
for the rookie by week three. Whether it's Russell Wilson's
fault or not, that's gonna be the scenario. Because I mean,
(34:06):
the Giants may have violated CONCUTSI protocol.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Because they couldn't get him out fast enough.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Yes, because of that play, like the great job by
the Amazon cameras to get Daball yelling at the doctors,
the fans booing at that point, and then Russell Wilson
just walking off as he they would rather.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Have a brain damaged rookie quarterback in Jackson Dart. Yes,
then Russell Wilson handing the ball off.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Like you now have to make Jameis Winston your number two. Yes,
Like you can't have scenarios like that, And it played
out on national TV, and the Giants had to release
a statement about Daboll's actions in the Blue Tent, the
NFL and NFLPA working together to find out if there
were violations, and obviously Dable checking it out. Cam Scataboo
(34:58):
actually went into the tent himse elf, but all.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Because Camp Scadwoo we could kind of agree, probably permanently
can cuss.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Anyway, right, man? He runs hard, he does.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
He's a psycho, and I mean that in a loving term.
I love that psycho on my football team.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
Kevin Stefanski made up his mind Shador Sanders will be
the backup to Dylan Gabriel for Week six against the Steelers.
So a pair of rookie quarterbacks in line, Dylan Gabriel
to start, Shoudur to back him up Sunday in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Can we all come to an agreement that a good
portion of it was about how he handled media day
or the media coming in and he finally gave the
right answer.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yes, I said, That's why I just sent it down
before the show. I said, I think the last three
days of them been them making a pr calculation. This
was not about talent. This was not about who deserves
to be number two. It was about if we put
him in the backup role, will he be a pain
in the ass and will he not?
Speaker 4 (36:02):
If you would have mined on Wednesday or Thursday, whenever
he had the SoundBite, I don't think that they would
have put him as the backup. I think they wanted
to see how he would play out in this role.
That's why I didn't think it was a guarantee. I
think I was proven right. Even though Shador ended up
ultimately being the backup, it was not a ready made
decision by the Browns and Kevin Stefanski.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I think you're right that.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Can't get understated, by the way, because Cameron Wolf came
out on Monday or maybe it was Tuesday and said
that he's QB two. Cameron Wolf of NFL Network today
is probably doing a victory lapbox. See I was right, guys,
but no, no, he he he reported something before it
was true and then got lucky and getting it right.
Dan's skepticism was the truth.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Yeah, it was not a foregone conclusion.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
But we're all in agreement. Okay, we're all in agreement
no matter what. Was he likely to be the number
two quarterback? Yeah, but yeah, I had to see how
he was going to handle it. Last week was a
pr disaster, and so I'm guessing that a portion of it.
If you remember he talked about how the trade happened
really quickly. Again, this is just a guess. The guess
(37:14):
is that he wasn't involved in the trade. They came
down and told him this is what we're doing. And
also a guess, but you know, the owner probably had it. Hey,
let's let's move him off. Let's move him up to two.
That's what I want to do. And then Stefancy's like, look,
this is my team. Let's see if the kid can
at least handle answering normal questions and handling himself as
(37:37):
a backup before we name him the backup and then
when he did, now they name him the backup quarterback.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
Yeah, I think even the work that they did during
the week. But it's the same thing with the Giants.
And like, why is Russell Wilson number two? Like maybe
it should be Jameis Winston. And we're not talking about
two rookie quarterbacks. But in the scenario when Flacco got benched,
there was really no reason for Flaco to be the backup.
There wasn't like if you were done with Joe Flacco,
you're done with Joe Flacco. But they still made him
(38:04):
the backup because Shador wasn't ready at that point that
Flacco would have been a better option for them. Now,
I think that their their mind has changed. Ravens ruled
out Lamar Jackson. That's not a surprise. Kyler Murray did
practice today. He's listed as questionable on the team's injury
report for their game against the Colts on Sunday. And
(38:25):
Jerry Jones not appealing his fine.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
And that's the press bag get out there and pressed.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
That was the press must be nice.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Must be must be nice. Well, we got major League

(00:43):
Pretty good night in sports last night, guys, Pretty good night.
And and you know we're all well, I don't want
to say we're all of the same opinion. We have
some form of opinion on Thursday night football not always
or maybe more often than not, not being the best
representation of the NFL, or maybe Jason Stewart's like, hey,
(01:06):
this is actually the NFL. Everybody else is trying to
pretend like it's better than it is fair.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Jay, Yeah, I think my opinion has always been that
we're in the Zeropa phase of the NFL and the
product is worsening in front of our eyes, but nobody
wants to fix it because there's no incentive to fix
it because it's the highest rated product in the world.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
My take on it is yeah. I mean, like, look,
you capitalized in that window. Obviously they're doing it for money.
I thought last night, whether it was a great, well
played game or not, it was super interesting in a
good watch because it's the Giants, because it's the Eagles.
Baseball wise, last night, well you had the Cubs dominate
(01:51):
in the Brewers Brewers three hits and Dodgers Phil's was
an amazingly pitched game. I texted this to you, Jay
Stu after the game was over, and I did say
that bullpen won bad for the Dodgers, like we can
There's lots of takeaways we can have and we discussed
a bunch of them with Kirkering kind of blowing that
(02:14):
last play. And it's not like Bessie doesn't give you.
I mean he gives you anxiety watching him pitch, right,
Like I get that he did not give up an
earned run, but it was not the easiest way to
get there, and he's sweating out there. Is the difference, simply,
Sasaki is?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Simply the difference is now of a sudden we're going
to use him, and he was. He was dynamic for
three innings.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I mean, you're a head coach, so you'll you'll definitely
understand this part. Right. It's not necessarily that's just one
person that fixes everything. But if you if you change
the chemistry of a very sensitive ecosystem. Every single roster
is a sensitive ecosystem. If you change the chemistry, maybe
just a jar, you put somebody maybe where they typically
(03:01):
don't play, it might change and inspire the entire roster.
Now we need show Heyo Tani to wake up somebody's
got a pound on his door on Monday night and say, hey,
the postseason is here. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Show hey o Tani, who's hitting one hit one eighty
four in the DS Still a fun good watch? I
thought visually granted, Giant Stadium or met Life whatever it's
called now, is the third in these. But if you're
watching baseball and you go from Chavez Ravine to Wrigley Field,
you're like this, at least visually, that was as pleasing
(03:42):
a night as you're ever gonna get, no doubt, right,
Like this is awesome sunset in La to a night
game in Wrigley. I know you hate when I do this,
so I'm not gonna throw out percentages, but this is
an honest question, you guys, how many young baseball fans know?
(04:02):
Do you think a lot of young bands baseball fans know?
They watched last night that the Cubs used to not
have lights until the late eighties, and the late eighties
now seem like a long way away. They were right,
but in the grand scheme of things, everywhere else was
lit up at that point in time except for Notre
Dame football and Cubs baseball. And I'm just watching last
(04:26):
night and I'm like, this is so basically please like
when the Cubs didn't have lights?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Go ahead, Dan, I was just gonna say, I think
nineteen eighty eight is so far away for so many people,
especially the generations that were born you know, after that
or at that point, Like, it just doesn't it doesn't compute.
Even guys who work here who are born in two thousand.
It would be it would be distant history. It'd be
(04:51):
like I think us thinking of Ted Williams and Joe
DiMaggio when we were growing up. I think it's so
far away it wouldn't even like it wouldn't even like
they would think like, well, yeah, of course, because you
probably didn't have a lot of electricity in nineteen eighty eight,
(05:12):
you know, right, Like that's like that's how they would think.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
That reminds me. I haven't done any power rankings this season.
Thanks Dan from the NFL Baseball NFL power rankings.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But for the NFL.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Power is power literally race sources of power, nuclear.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Horse horsepower, wind power.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Geothermal, geo, thermal power.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Dan mentioned electricity. It reminded me of I.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Will willpower power, willpower.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Also, he's also a race is at a race car driver,
will power, the.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Power of yes, the power of new, power of new,
hydraulic power, hydraulic power. Last night, good night baseball. I
think tomorrow will be You know, you got all of
a sudden, the Brewers can't hit. That series changed. If
the Brewers lose the series. I think they lost it
in the eighth inning of Game three, put a runner
(06:11):
on second, and they'd been a team that would had
bunted people into scoring position or to third in the past,
and they didn't do it, and they scored scored zero
runs the eighth inning and they were down a run
at the time. Anyway, that's enough about baseball. We are
attracted to the idea of a franchise quarterback. And something
(06:39):
I've always thought as funny, as are there times in
which you do all the work, you do the due diligence,
and you draft a guy, you develop a guy, and
you're rewarded. Yes, that does happen. It does happen, but
I think it's fascinating on some of these quarterbacks. Like Mahomes,
they had a great plan. Hey, we got Alex Smith draft,
(07:02):
they moved up in the draft, drafted him. He sat
for years, started the seventeenth game, and then they trade
away Alex Smith and then it was his team. Like
for Kansas City, they found their franchise quarterback and they
put him in a position where he had to clean
a lot of things up. And he's under a pros
pro and Alex Smith, and he's become inarguably a Hall
of Famer and arguably the greatest quarterback of all time
(07:26):
based upon what he's done to this point in his career.
But it's like I look at Justin Herbert and we
all know this to be true. Like to LESCo will
probably never say it, but it to have been available
and Herbert been available, I think they were gonna take Tua.
(07:46):
We can all say the Baltimore Ravens had developed Lamar Jackson,
but remember they passed on Lamar Jackson with their first
first round pick that season. They drafted a tight end
and then they circle back and drafted Lamar Jackson. Doesn't
mean they didn't I think he'd be a starting quarterback.
There's no way they thought he would be an MVP,
let alone multiple time MVP. I say that because the
(08:07):
Giants look like they have a starting quarterback. I don't
know if they have a franchise changing quarterback. I don't
know if he's for the next five to ten years
he's their guy. I do know that in this short term,
there's great energy behind him, there's belief behind him. It's fun,
he does have talent. It'll work for now. The question
(08:32):
is does it work long term. Lots of guys have
worked for a year, Lots of guys have worked. You know,
Vince Young famously didn't start to start his rookie season
with the Titans, then became a starter. Somehow he was
voted to the Pro Bowl, which was ridiculous. But ultimately
he wasn't a guy who could develop a second pitch.
(08:53):
He wasn't a guy who could develop into being able
to read defenses. It was half the field. Once he
had to mature, he could not. Here's Brian Dable, who
you know, noted quarterback, whisper, head coach of the Giants,
on Jackson Dark's performance.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Good team win.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
That's a division team on the road or at home
should I say home? Crowd was awesome, but we got
to give him a reason to be awesome too. So
another good game by a rookie quarterback, but another good
game from everybody around him. And that's what we need it.
You know, it's not about one guy, it's about a team.
Two turnovers on defense, very good third down execution on offense,
(09:34):
rand the ball well, finished the game. You know, it's
good to have a young leader like Dark.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
So I think there's there's something there. This is classic
coach one oh one, and I think Jason knows it.
Dan knows it that when you're going to start a
rookie quarterback. You always make sure everybody remembers that he's
both young and a rookie. Everything he will mention about
Jackson Dart is he's young and he's a rookie. Did
(10:05):
I mention he's a rookie who's young and he's young,
who he's a rookie because that kind of cleans it
up when there is a mistake, when there is a
bad performance, when there is three picks, you're like, Wow,
he's young and he's a rookie. When you're trying to
save your job, you always go young, right, always look
to the future. And before we go crazy about Jackson
(10:29):
Dart and how amazing he was, he doesn't have his
top wide receiver, but he only threw for one ninety five,
completed seventeen passes, and ran the football a ton. But
I think we all know that if he's going to
take those hits, he's not going to last. I'm not
willing to call it as their starter for the next
(10:50):
ten years because in order to start in New York,
you don't just have to wake up after a good game,
after a good win and go do it again. You
got to wake up after a bad performance and get
absolutely pummeled by the media, get pummeled by your fans.
No one doesn't. There isn't a soul out there who
(11:12):
doesn't go through tough times as a starting quarterback in
the NFL. Can you have that same joyful, youthful energy,
deliver the football when the fans are booing you, when
the weather's bad, when the offensive line breaks down? As
of now, great, am I buying stock?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Am I holding stock? Yes? Am I selling stock? Absolutely not.
I think it could be the feel good story of
the NFC East. It could be the feel good story
of the NFC. But we did have Tommy DeVito and
his agent become a thing like a year and a
half ago. So forgive me if i'm if I bring
(11:59):
in the b of I've seen false profits before. I
need to see it continue to develop and evolve over
time going forward. If you want me to fully buy
into the Giants finding their franchise quarterback, is that unfair, Dan.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Byer, No, It's not unfair at all. And I actually
think that you could use Daniel Jones's emergence early on
in his rookie campaign with the Giants as the cautionary
tale that even at times if you see success. Maybe
not at the grandest of stages, but Daniel Jones had
success early on as the starting quarterback in New York.
(12:34):
Then they went on that playoff run, they gave him
the contract. So yes, I don't want to say proceed
with caution, but I think you're right.

You were on to me earlier, Doug. I kind of
showed my hand for a pick this week. Cleveland's a
six and a half point dog going on the road
to Pittsburgh. While all things, all things are in line
for the Steelers to get a win and cover that game,
(15:58):
I'm going with the one two punch of Dylan Gabriel
and Shador Sanders at quarterback to at least cover against
the Steelers on Sunday, Browns plus six and a half
Give me that.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
By the way, guys, how cringey is that commercial where
they're at like a boardroom meeting and the guy sees
his boss's coffee mug and it's got a Georgia bulldog
on it.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
He starts like barking, Yes, it's very cringey.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
In other words, I was trying to recreate that. Thank you,
yes that it brought that to my to my mind. There,
let's look at listen, Northwestern's visiting Penn State. This is
oh and two Penn State team. They're irritated. They're hair
over twenty one point favorites here three touchdown favorites. I
think they're gonna unleash hell on Northwestern. I'm gonna pick
Penn State to blow them out and cover that twenty
(16:44):
one and a half.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
New end run, Doug, what do you got?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Well, I'm going to the NFL this weekend instead of
college football. I know my pick was great last weekend,
but I mean it. I liked I love this Jacksonville pick.
I think they're dealing with good momentum. I know it's
on a short week and Seattle. I love how they
played offensively, and I know Sam Donald pulled the Sam
Donald and under pressure got hit and through an interception late.
(17:15):
But that's a long trip. It may not equal out
to a short turnaround, but it's pretty close. Jacksonville as
a home dog with a four and one start, which
they very easily could be five. And oh and I
think they're actually pretty good, not that Seattle's beat. I
like Jacksonville straight up, straight up, and I'm getting a
point a half. Give me the Jaguars, Jacks. These Jaguars
(17:39):
not always in the shop.
Speaker 9 (17:42):
He let's say no when loud, not walk away.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
You never money.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
Yeah, Tom and the for count.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
At least no, no, no, No.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Cotton Bowl Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio.
You can see him on Big Noon Kickoff tomorrow. Of
course he's got his bear Bets podcast. He's one only.
Chris Felika, Fox Sports betting analyst the Coast of the
bear Bets Podcast, joins us in the Doug Gottlieb Show
on Fox Sports Radio. I think that was Jay Stu.
Jay Seu is all over this North Texas game, right,
(18:31):
that was that a jay stew that was your your
pick early South Florida, North Texas. Uh, the mean Green
at home? My lean is the mean Green at home
South Florida. Everybody's darling after two big wins. Of course
they got smashed by Miami. Do you have a lien
with the with the Mean Green getting two and a
half lay in two and.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
A half, it feels like a higher scoring game just
cause South Florida goes so fast. Could be an up
and down the field type of North Texa. Certainly there
were a team that got a little bit of like
under the radar I type love is a trendy pick
and that conference to win. And just because of the
start that the Bulls had, people have kind of gotten
(19:12):
off their sent a little bit. But uh, the kind
of reversed things tonight and pick up a win. I
think a lot more about the people. More people might
be talking about the Mean Green. I'm not gonna play it,
I will I will be watching. Feels like a higher
scoring game, but a bit is a very high number to.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Go over, no question about it. Let's get into some
of the big games the weekend. My game that I
actually am most interested in. Uh, is not the Red
River game. It's nott Ohio State Illinois. Uh, it's not
the Big SEC game. It's Oregon hosting Indiana. Oregon hosting India.
I mean, of course, we all knew when the Big
(19:48):
Ten combined with the Pac twelve schools, this would be
the big matchup. I'm kidding.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Clearly, absolutely, the Hoosiers football program is going to emerge,
and and and Oregon would it would emerge as they
the second best team in the Big Ten. Clearly we
all knew that. It is interesting though, because not only
at Austin but also in Como this week, you go
over the last couple of years, the two best home
(20:12):
records in the country you have been Oregon and Missouri,
and you got Missouri as a small home dog, and
then you got Oregon in a top ten matchup this week.
But I like Oregon in this game. I think there's
been a little bit of an overreaction to Penn State
losing at UCLA. Have a couple we everyone's like, Oh, Oregon,
they might be the best team in the country. Now
(20:33):
they went to Penn State and won in the white out.
And now because Penn State lost to UCLA. Everyone's like, uh,
I don't know. You might have to rethink Cerol's about Oregon.
If you think that the Penn State that showed up
the same night as the white out, it's the same
team that showed up in front of six thousand at
the roads ball last week. Same team. You're your way
off base. This is an Oregon team that doesn't allow
(20:54):
teams to run. They're really good on both sides, the
ball up front and them binding line discrimmage and indian
the last couple of years. You look at last year
when they won on the road against Notre Dame in
the playoffs and against Ohio State in the regular season.
The offense did nothing and the offense didn't do anything
a couple weeks ago, kn't of either thirty had thirteen
points on the board until final minute and a half
(21:15):
two minutes of the game. He scored thirty two points
in those two games. Last year three and a half
yards of play, didn't score a touchdown on Notre Dame
until a minute and a half to go in the game.
It was thirty one to seven last year Ohio State
before they scored again. Whatever the reason is, it hasn't
traveled on the road against good teams, so we'll see.
I think Oregon comes out with chip on the shoulder
(21:38):
and they get a big win here at home.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I aloways stay got clipped by Cincinnati on the road.
They got down big and couldn't come back. I'm actually
stunned that Colorado is only a two and a half
point dog at home. See You has not looked like
one of the top teams in the Big in the
Big twelve, and then you have Dion with his health issues.
Iowa States take two and a half point favorite on
(22:03):
the road at Colorado fifty one a half's the total?
Am I crazy to love Iowa State.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
In this pick? I think you are crazy because I
actually liked see You and I grabbed See You plus three.
Iowa State's got a bunch of injuries in the secondary.
They allowed a eight yards of play last week against Cincinnati.
And if Colorado doesn't turn living, it's a massive it.
You know they If I had you know what, I'd.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Be a queen, had a parent, you know what, should
be the king. If I had two heads, I'd be
in the circus.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Got it exactly, But Salter, see you could have beaten BYU.
See you could have won last week as well against
TCU late touchdown, get bad beat if you had see
You last week. If Saltan doesn't turn the ball over,
I think they have an opportunity to put up some
points here on the board. Iowa States a team. I
think we all got a little high August. They won
a couple of coin flip games, and they won the
(22:56):
sidehawk game, and they wanted to they want and doubled
against kse T. I don't know. Look, I am a
massive Iowa State supporter, but I think see You plus
the points seem might be the right side.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Red River rivalry OEU Texas feels like Mattia is gonna play.
Also feels like Texas just disappointing. But in what this
is one of those games where sometimes things flip. Sooners
are a point favorite. Totals forty four and a half
looks like a hot day in Big D.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I'm not sure about Matier playing, and even if he
does haliffect, He's gonna remember earlier this year coaches loved
to manipulate this. This injury report. He had Laine down
an old miss kind of said Alton Simmons. Oh yeah,
he's he's probable on the injury. Then he didn't play.
He had a couple of years ago in the Red
River game when oh you pulled the charade about about
(23:50):
Dylan Gabriel who got a concussion the previous week, and
all week long, my guys would say, he's not playing,
he's not playing, he's not playing. And then morning of
the game, he everyone sees him out there and going
through the warm up with the helmet on in full
uni and everyone said, oh see he's out there, he's
gonna play. And then he comes out in shorts and
T shirt. It doesn't play. So I think there's a
(24:10):
bit of gamesman ship going on here. I even as
actually acquitted a second the line from the Natural about
yeah Roy Hobbs. Yeah, but I don't want to play
and find Goody with his inside he's is valuable to
us in the lineup, is out of the lineup, and
we're dark twenty thousand dollars richer. I think if if
the teer plays like Texas defense, you know they're just
(24:30):
gonna be gunning for his hand every single play. So
I don't know. I like Texas here plus plus the
up one, I like him basically to win the game.
I think I think last week how poor their defense
was was alarming. But this is also an Oklahoma offense
that really is kind of middling in terms of the
yards for play when you take into account for a
(24:51):
schedule adjustment. Uh, kind of a kind of a good
spot here to uh to catch Texas now with the
line is flipped.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Okay, you mentioned Alabama there three point favorite at Missouri
totals fifty one and a half. This an Alabama team
that look last couple of weeks has looked really really good.
But at some point, like do you get worn down
by by Georgia, Vanderbilt and now Missouri on the road
before you get Tennessee in South Carolina, before you get a.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Week off, you just hit it right on the head
with the the Nations flongus home winning straight. You get
revenge from loser it as a twenty three and a
half point dog last year. Now you got to go
to a fresh Missouri team was off a bye, and
we don't know how good Missouri is, but you know
the ageball like revenge and teams and how much that's
(25:40):
a an incentive and a motivating and I'm sure you've
been on the on the losing side of a lot
of a lot of games, and you couldn't wait for
the opportunity to get a little bit of revenge next year.
And I went back and look, well, last year was
thirty four to notf in Alabama. Drew Pine replaced an
injured Brady Cook through three picks, and I went back
and looked just to see if I was like completely
(26:02):
off base in it. If you get back last twenty
five years, ranked teams that were lost by more than
thirty points at a shutout loss with you having the
opportunity venue in the following year, there have been eight
instances in the last twenty five years. Five of the
eight one out right, two lost by a field goal,
and one wound up losing to Alabama, which wound up
(26:25):
winning the national championship that year. So it doesn't happen often,
but when it does happen, there is something to kind
of and you know, Eli Dregwitz and that staff is
going to have the following at the mouth Alabama a
lot two hundred and thirty yards on the ground of
Florida State by two thirty on the ground to Georgia
UH with Hardy and Probula duel for a guy. I
(26:47):
think it's a great spot in Como for an upset tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
You're you're the best. Have a great Saturday, we'll see
on TV. Thanks for being our guest.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
You do say you will.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Okay, let's bring in buyer. Buyer. Any concern about your
Buckeyes taking on Illinois.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Yeah, I mean there's there's concern no matter how big
of a favorite that you are. Road game. Uh, Julian
Saying's second career start on the road, that could always
be of question, but he's been brilliant so far. I
expect Ohio State to win, but there's always a bit
of of hesitation for sure.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
You know, one of the games that I was thinking
about is the Oklahoma State game. They're taking on Houston
and they're a big home dog, but part of it is,
you know, they're down to a walk on quarterback because
they lost their top two quarterbacks and they've had two
or three of their best players put themselves in the
portal this week. It's like they're at home against Houston,
(28:00):
who has been okay. The other four to one fairly
solve schedule, been okay. But there's so many of these. Yeah, No,
they get destroyed by Tech Tech. First of all, Texas Tech,
guys is like a thirty million dollar team. So a
lot of teams that get destroyed by Texas Tech. Okay,
they're really really really really good, really good, and we're not.
(28:20):
Oklahoma State is really not good.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Thirty five to eleven isn't a a destruction now.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
On the road, that's a good win. No, who said
Texas Tech is really good?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
No, Texas Tech is legit.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Man.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
They went and beat Utah at Utah, and I think
everyone can if there's a team from the Big twelve
that could compete nationally based upon personnel, and that personnel
is because of the money they spent, it's Texas Tech.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I still go back to Brett your Mark's comments at
Big twelve media Day when saying when they were talking
about the formats of the playoffs and why they were
siding with a like a five plus eleven model that
the SEC was pushing for as opposed to like the
four plus four plus two. You know, YadA YadA, YadA.
(29:07):
Any any any said that like he believes in the
schools in the future, and I think he was. He
was talking about Texas Tech like of being that school
of in this world of college football right now, or
of the arms race and the wallet race. Maybe that
Texas Tech is going to be well equipped to compete.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I think they'll be well equipped to compete.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
I think that's what that's like when we look at
them and we're like, where are their good teams? I
think his point is Texas Tech is going to be
spending money. They are going to be like this is
this is the arrival of Texas Tech, and that they
won't be going anywhere for a while.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I think Texas Tech. I think BYU. But he says
they have the money, although most of that's in basketball,
and you know, Ryan Smith is putting it in basketball.
I just don't know if they have enough teams. I mean,
part of it is just size of alumni, you know,
you have and type of alumni. But the Oakland State
when you got Oaklhand State, you got Virginia Tech. You
(30:13):
have UCLA going on the road to Michigan State after
their gigantic win against Penn State. What does that look
like like? This is a These guys still have days
in which they can enter the portal.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
The Press, Doug.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
I'll get to the headlines of the day. But there's
a little little meat on the bone from last night's
Eagles Giants game, including this play that happened. Courtesy of
Amazon Prime with a minute twenty seven left to go
on the third quarter. The Giants were facing a third
down and nine from the forty two yard line of
(31:31):
Philadelphia when Russell Wilson had to enter the game.
Speaker 10 (31:35):
Dang playclock at one, claps his hands, gets it away,
throws and that's incomplete. So it's fourth down. So the
crowd bends. It's frustration. Well, they can't wait for Dark
(31:56):
to get back in the game.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, I mean, go ahead, Dan, you gotta smile, and
you got smiling.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
No, I served it up for you.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I'm so glad you served that up. The dog such
great with the sound.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
It's so good. Can we hear it one more time?
It's really really good one more time?
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Okay, all right, you're right here. It is courtesy of
Amazon Prime and Al Michaels play.
Speaker 10 (32:27):
Clock at one, claps his hands, gets it away, throws
and that's incomplete. So it's fourth down.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
So the crowd bence.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
It's frustration.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
It's so amazing.
Speaker 10 (32:46):
We can't wait for Dark to get back.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
In the game.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Russell Wilson through one pass.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
That was the only pass he threw all day. Yes,
and they boot him and like Dart was in the tent, right,
and they couldn't wait. Here's Russell Wilson. This is amazing.
We are how many years are were we? Four years?
Five years removed from less rut Let Russ Cook? Right,
let Russ Cook. Super Bowl champion quarterback, two time Super
(33:16):
Bowl performing quarterback, and somebody who I think if you
look on the resume again, we can have a great
discussion about it. Probably a Hall of famer, not first Baut,
but a Hall of famer. And I mean, and he
started the season at quarterback. They almost beat the Cowboys
in week two. Yes, and he played great.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
And now he throws one pass and you're like, get
it out of here, give me the rookie.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
This is what it's come to.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
And Doug, you and I differed on whether Russell Wilson
will play next season. I after seeing this, I think
it's now a given that he will because if you
draft a rookie quarterback, just bring in Russell Wilson, let
him start the first two games and they'll be craving
for the rookie by week three. Whether it's Russell Wilson's
fault or not, that's gonna be the scenario. Because I mean,
(34:06):
the Giants may have violated CONCUTSI protocol.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Because they couldn't get him out fast enough.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Yes, because of that play, like the great job by
the Amazon cameras to get Daball yelling at the doctors,
the fans booing at that point, and then Russell Wilson
just walking off as he they would rather.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Have a brain damaged rookie quarterback in Jackson Dart. Yes,
then Russell Wilson handing the ball off.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Like you now have to make Jameis Winston your number two. Yes,
Like you can't have scenarios like that, And it played
out on national TV, and the Giants had to release
a statement about Daboll's actions in the Blue Tent, the
NFL and NFLPA working together to find out if there
were violations, and obviously Dable checking it out. Cam Scataboo
(34:58):
actually went into the tent himse elf, but all.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Because Camp Scadwoo we could kind of agree, probably permanently
can cuss.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Anyway, right, man? He runs hard, he does.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
He's a psycho, and I mean that in a loving term.
I love that psycho on my football team.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
Kevin Stefanski made up his mind Shador Sanders will be
the backup to Dylan Gabriel for Week six against the Steelers.
So a pair of rookie quarterbacks in line, Dylan Gabriel
to start, Shoudur to back him up Sunday in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Can we all come to an agreement that a good
portion of it was about how he handled media day
or the media coming in and he finally gave the
right answer.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yes, I said, That's why I just sent it down
before the show. I said, I think the last three
days of them been them making a pr calculation. This
was not about talent. This was not about who deserves
to be number two. It was about if we put
him in the backup role, will he be a pain
in the ass and will he not?
Speaker 4 (36:02):
If you would have mined on Wednesday or Thursday, whenever
he had the SoundBite, I don't think that they would
have put him as the backup. I think they wanted
to see how he would play out in this role.
That's why I didn't think it was a guarantee. I
think I was proven right. Even though Shador ended up
ultimately being the backup, it was not a ready made
decision by the Browns and Kevin Stefanski.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I think you're right that.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Can't get understated, by the way, because Cameron Wolf came
out on Monday or maybe it was Tuesday and said
that he's QB two. Cameron Wolf of NFL Network today
is probably doing a victory lapbox. See I was right, guys,
but no, no, he he he reported something before it
was true and then got lucky and getting it right.
Dan's skepticism was the truth.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Yeah, it was not a foregone conclusion.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
But we're all in agreement. Okay, we're all in agreement
no matter what. Was he likely to be the number
two quarterback? Yeah, but yeah, I had to see how
he was going to handle it. Last week was a
pr disaster, and so I'm guessing that a portion of it.
If you remember he talked about how the trade happened
really quickly. Again, this is just a guess. The guess
(37:14):
is that he wasn't involved in the trade. They came
down and told him this is what we're doing. And
also a guess, but you know, the owner probably had it. Hey,
let's let's move him off. Let's move him up to two.
That's what I want to do. And then Stefancy's like, look,
this is my team. Let's see if the kid can
at least handle answering normal questions and handling himself as
(37:37):
a backup before we name him the backup and then
when he did, now they name him the backup quarterback.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
Yeah, I think even the work that they did during
the week. But it's the same thing with the Giants.
And like, why is Russell Wilson number two? Like maybe
it should be Jameis Winston. And we're not talking about
two rookie quarterbacks. But in the scenario when Flacco got benched,
there was really no reason for Flaco to be the backup.
There wasn't like if you were done with Joe Flacco,
you're done with Joe Flacco. But they still made him
(38:04):
the backup because Shador wasn't ready at that point that
Flacco would have been a better option for them. Now,
I think that their their mind has changed. Ravens ruled
out Lamar Jackson. That's not a surprise. Kyler Murray did
practice today. He's listed as questionable on the team's injury
report for their game against the Colts on Sunday. And
(38:25):
Jerry Jones not appealing his fine.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
And that's the press bag get out there and pressed.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
That was the press must be nice.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Must be must be nice. Well, we got major League
Baseball over the weekend, NFL college football. Download the podcast
