Let's get to the midway. It's not getting mid with you.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
It's time for the.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Midway, all right there?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Okay, dear guys, what do you think they're a kidding?
Topic wise? We doing Olympics? Is that what you guys
want to do? Our favorite Olympics storylines?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Is that what I'm feeling from you guys or stories
thus far? You guys want to flush flush this one
out or you guys all decided.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I think it's interesting because you and I have both
said on the record that we weren't going to watch
the Olympics. Uh, we had no interest in watching the
Olympics other than the men's basketball. I think you and
I are both on the We're both on the same page.
But it never if you follow sports and you follow
on Twitter, you get wrapped up into these storylines or
(02:06):
moments or see things go viral, and you do end
up paying attention to the Olympics. You're just not watching
it in a linear fashion. Now, Sam and Monsey, I
think do seek it out. If I don't want to
speak for either of you, but don't you two seek
out events and watch events.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think basketball and maybe women's soccer.
I have saw it out. I'm like, oh, that's on,
let's watch that. If I'm at home and they're doing
the replays at night on NBC the encore performances, I'm not.
I mean, I've had it on the other night, watch
some badminton that was fun. I'm not. I'm not. You know,
(02:44):
I'm not fully one hundred percent into this Olympics. I'm
enjoying it though.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Yeah, that's how I am.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
I don't know if I'm seeking it out, but definitely
if something's on and I sit and watch it, I'm
into it.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
I may not know what is happening in front of me,
but I'm into it.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
For example, So, my most memorable moment of the last
ten days of the Olympics was Noah Lyles and the
one hundred yard dash. Okay, he won by point zero
zero zero five of a second. I think each of
the runners finished in under ten seconds. I guess that's
(03:21):
a big deal. I like the fact that Lee Diffy,
the play by play announcer, completely botched the call and
was as clumsy in his apology and explanation.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
I like, see, that was cool.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Because that was all over Twitter and there are a
lot of memes and stuff. And then this Noah Liiles guy.
I guess he was the same character who said that
winning a gold medal is a lot better than winning
an NBA championship because it's not a world championship. In
the NBA, it's not war, it's just the country's championship.
(03:55):
So a gold medal is more significant. He was that guy.
I found that out because of that one hundred yard death.
I appreciate all that from Noah Lyles.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So is that your Is that your storyline that you want?
Speaker 8 (04:07):
Yes, that's that's my that's my that you're.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Watching the Olympics more or the Noel Lyles.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I'm not watching the Olympics anymore than I thought I would,
but that one thing caught my interest, so it forced
me to pay attention.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Okay, months, your favorite storyline story about the Olympics.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
Okay, so this is I mean, not the answer that
you're expecting, but I think what my favorite thing that
has happened from the Olympics is all of those videos
of people saying sorry I didn't make the Olympics, and
it's them just eating you know what, trying to perform,
whether it's swimming, gym not whatever.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Have you seen those videos, Doug, They're like, yeah, I didn't. Oh,
I'm gonna send it to you. So it's like.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
People are posting themselves trying to do gymnastics or swim diving,
the whole thing, and it's like, yeah, I guess I
didn't make the Olympics and it's.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Because they eat you know what.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
And it's so hilarious and I feel like, because of
social media, this is the first time I've seen this
during an Olympic period, and it's just so so funny
seeing us normal people out there making fools out of
ourselves when it comes to the level of letticism that
we're seeing on TV.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
So my favorite things so far are all of those
videos that are popping up of people just not making
it to the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
I thought you were referring to the phenomenon that's totally
separate than what you're talking about, the phenomenon of people
posting actual Olympics fails like the diver.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Oh yeah, that's so funny things.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
That's a thing I enjoy that actually a great deal.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
A light on his.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Resume must have light on it, Yes, I've seen that
one too. I'm gonna I'm gonna text you guys all
this one because this one has a bunch of videos.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
But it's just so.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Funny, and I feel like this is my favorite part
of the Olympics so far.
Speaker 8 (05:57):
Right now, Okay, you are such a volleyball huh.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
I do love volleyball ball, No, of course I love volleyball.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
But you know this is too funny.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
This is too.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Funny, Sam.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
I'm gonna start off with a general a general thing here.
The United States is kicking some serious ass at these Olympics.
If you look at the overall medal leaders in terms
of country, the USA is at ninety one medals one,
China sixty two, and France forty nine. But here's a kicker,
so we're the best in that. We are also two
(06:30):
gold medals ahead of China twenty six to twenty four,
and in distant third places Australia. Australia loves to kick
our butts in any sport that they can when they
get a chance a shot at the US. And we
know that the competition, the competitive nature between the USA
and China and the US and Russia, and China and
Russia it's all very competitive, like we're a financial economic
(06:51):
adversaries and we're Olympic adversaries. So this is I've heard
a lot of US athletes very very proud to have
meddled or gold, have that USA across their chest, and
I just have to play this. I think this will
be a memorable Olympics that the Americans definitely don't forget
(07:14):
because of how well we've done. It's been. It's been very, uh,
very patriotic to see how well the US is done
gold medals and overall metals.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
My god, Doug, have you looked at the video? Manzi sentas, No,
this is right up your rally. So Doug always talks
about there are three people that when they see people
hurting themselves online, what is that? The person who says
I need I can't watch it enough. Yeah, person says
I don't watch.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I can't see it ever. Yeah, I only see it
once just to catalog it, and I can't stop watching it.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I think Manzi obviously falls in the category of I
can't stop watching this stuff because I at least the
second entry and I'm like, oh, I can't watch these
this is people hurting themselves.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
No, No, this is a young woman jumping off of
a one meter Look.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
Get the next one. The gymnastics one.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Oh, there's another one? Scroll?
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Yeah, scroll.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
She can't be a live after that, right, she can't
be alive after that.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
But she's on the uneven parallel bars and she just
lets go and she's okay.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
She's okay, but her body parts aren't going.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
The right way. Where is this one going?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Oh, the gymnastics, it's amazing. Ye, No, she's she's not
probably not a big woman, but she's clearly too big
for gymnastics. And she what is this a round off
back ran off handspring?
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Does she want her knees?
Speaker 7 (08:45):
Both meniscus gone, Everything that's part of your knee, it's
gone in that moment.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
Yeah, I'm out. Sorry you guys can.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I can't even watch past the first video because they
don't have Instagram, so I can only see the backflop.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
So the.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Inst I am natural that type would be like I
don't want to watch someone breaking their leg. I want
to avert my eyes. They're breaking, I know. But so
since I can't see the second videos and beyond that's like,
it's okay because I don't have Instagram, so it works out.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'm sorry, you know I'm in this. I can't Monsie,
damn you.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I was doing such a good job of being like
locked in on this crap and then this radio show
and then now I'm I don't even know what we're
talking about or who I am. My favorite part of
the Olympics storyline.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Oh wait, I see the videos. Now there you.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Go, there you go, say goodbye to Sam for the
next five minutes. Yeah, I'm gonna wrack my brain here
on things I like the best. I mean, the Djokovic
winning on clay when the gold medal was pretty amazing.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
That is pretty good.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, it was, It was really amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I thought last night's Australia Serbia quarterfinal match, which Serbia
came from twenty four down to win an overtime.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Was awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
But the best one's probably, honestly the best one is
the swimmer, the French swimmer who's annihilated everything.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
And then I Leon Machamp.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, but then they show Michael Phelps in the studio
like cheering for him, and I just I wanted to
ask you guys, like, if you hold all these world
records and you're watching somebody take down your world records.
Like again, I got to know Michael Phelps lot last year.
By this time, I do this dinner every year in
LA at the Beverly Hilton. We raised money for cancer research,
(10:42):
and I think the thing out with Michael that night,
and I was like, what a great dude, Like he
really has like kind of found out who he is
here now with having kids and being married, to be
away from the sport. But man, what a dude to
be cheering for other people to break your world records.
I can tell you right now, if I have world
records and somebody is trying to beat them, I am
doing that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
No no, no, no no no no no.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
A right, Jason, have you seen any of this of
Michael Phelps cheering for him to beat his world record?
Speaker 8 (11:11):
I have not seen that video.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
No, And it just it doesn't look fake, which is
what's really nice about it. He seems genuinely excited for
the dude.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
The Midway Phelps full of beard, right, full beard and
long hair.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I know about long hair, but the beard is very
full of very long.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah right now he could he make a great extra
as like a pirate in a pirate movie with that beard. Yeah,
he looks very pirate esque.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah, are we done making pirate movies? I thought, how many?
How many Pirates of the Caribbeans did we get with?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Oh no, because Johnny Depp was uncanceled. I think he's
uh negotiating for another one.
Speaker 8 (11:46):
He was uncanceled.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
The great thing about that series is it's a lot
like the all the Marvel ones, like you can never
really die, you know. They if they kill off your character,
you just go to the metaverse and then your back.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's the same thing with Pirates of the Caribbean. You
can come back as a ghost.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Fine.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
That's if you're ever going to get into a series
and you're not the lead character. I think you should
get into a series in which you can be brought
back to life, like a Marvel one and.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Like a Fantasy one like Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
I got a couple more things? Can we do a couple?
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Did you quickly? Did you guys see the video of
Lebron thinking that the crowd was cheering for him when
it was really Leon Marchamp I have not seen it,
but I heard putting his arms in the air and
he's like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
He did the cool Yeah, like, yeah, I'm good, thanks,
thanks so much for all the recognition.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
And last but not least here, Last but not least here,
I want to kind of celebrate the bronze medal. And
I know that's third place, it's still a medal though,
But Iowa is not known for its track and field
like internationally. Maybe they went an outdoor competition every once
in a while. But former Hawkeye athlete Britney Brown, she
won the bronze medal in the two hundred meter and
(13:05):
then she becomes the first woman in Iowa cross country
in track and field too. You saw that earn an
individual individual Olympic medal, so I think that's awesome. And
you got the women, the American women winning the bronze
and rugby, and you had Grant Fisher who took the
bronze in the ten thousand meter dashed twenty five times
around the track to become the first American man to
do that in like fifty six years.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So does anybody have any idea how boring that is?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
That's a lot of run, that's a lot of you
gotta be just gassed after that. You're sprinting that.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Wholes It's not just the running, it's the going around
to track twenty.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Five twenty five times.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
But good for him, Like that's the boringest trap there
actually ever has been.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Hey, man, I'm going to celebrate that bronze medal.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I'm not disputing. No, I'm actually giving you more credit. Like, like,
I think that's harder than running a marathon, at least
the marathon. Ever, the topography changes, right, oh yeah, and
you're looking around like just running around the same loop
like mm hmm was.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
That twenty two twenty one? I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I just yeah, I'd be done after that.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Yeah, agreed, Agreed.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Stuck oleb Show Fox Sports Radio Mike Silver. The San
Francisco Chronicle reports that Brandon Ayuk's decision to show up
for training camp but not practice is bothering Kyle Shanahan
because it's perceived as Ayuk brooding while in around the building.
The Niners could play hardball with Auk telling him he
must practice and prepare to play for fourteen point one
(15:03):
million this year or be fined for conduct detrimental to
the team. At some point between now and Week one,
they'll need to tell them it's time to get to work. Still,
there's a way to be present and also way to
be a pain in the ass without being an overt
paying the ass. Iook seems to have found the sweet spot,
but apparently it's hitting a raw nerve with Shanahan. Look
at some point, and again I can speak to this
(15:25):
from coaching. You got to know are you in.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Or y out?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Are you in your out? That's really what this kind
of comes down to. Are you in or are you out?
And there was a story earlier today that they were
trying to figure out a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
That story has not come in terms of there's no
been no fruition to that, in terms of no trade
(15:50):
has been made, but we're getting close to that. You
know what, or get off the pot stage for anybody, anybody,
Brandon Ayuk is no different than anybody else. Talented, but
no different than anybody else. And if not the Steelers,
then we're talking. You know, he didn't want to go
to He clear didn't want to go to the Patriots.
(16:13):
I just don't think the really good teams. I think
the Steelers is a hard fit. But with Pickens and
his attitude, they can go up and down the fact
that they don't have an elite level quarterback, but maybe
that means they're always going to go cheap on the
quarterbacks and put great personnel around him. Maybe that's their
new philosophy.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
But I get it.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
How do you get how you round? But not a
Debbie Downer? How much can they share with you knowing
that you might or might not be there when it
gets to be real, real football season?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Stuck Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Here on Fox Sports Radio, Dante Whitner joins this. They
called him Dante Hitner back when he was a Pro
bowl er, three time Pro Bowl The Nation Football League.
He also covers the entire NFL for NBC Sports Bay Area.
He's a former Niner and a former Bill. Let me
ask you your opinion of a Yuk and of the
Niners and the entirety of the situation.
Speaker 9 (17:08):
In my opinion, Brandon Ayuk is a top five wide
receiver currently in the NFL, and I gauge that based
on his amount of targets, his production, and last year
he was All Pro. He's the best downfield threat for
the forty nine ers, and if they lose him to
a trade to Steelers or Washington or whoever's involved, it'll
(17:29):
be a big loss in a hard position to be
able to cover up with the loss of.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Brandon au So why not extend him?
Speaker 9 (17:38):
Well, the forty nine ers and their star players over
the last few years have had contract disputes. You can
go back to Nick Bosa last year. You can go
to Deebo Samuel before that, and you can go to
Fred Warner before that. So this happens a lot with
the forty nine ers, But I believe that they do
value Brandon Ayuk and it's just a mind game, contractual
(17:59):
mind game that's going on between the forty nine ers
and Brandon Nyuk and his representatives, what's the mind game
get him to take roughly twenty four to twenty five
million dollars a year and not really what he's actually
valued at, and to say, hey, go out and you
can find a deal somewhere else. And then Brandon Nyuk
understands that you're only valuable as a wide receiver if
(18:22):
you have an offensive line and a quarterback that can
get you the football. And a lot of these places
haven't really shown that they've developed a quarterback and an
offensive an offensive strategic system to get the football downfield.
So I think that's probably where he is with it.
He wants to grow with Brock Purty.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Okay, so how do you balance that out as a
player where you can have way more success playing with
a team that is likely going to pay you less money.
How do you balance that out?
Speaker 9 (18:52):
Well, I look at it like this. You're looking at
the guaranteed money nowadays when you look at the NFL contracts,
if you do a five to six year contra, the
last two years are pretty much fluff. The teams and
the organizations don't really expect you to perform at the
high level that you are when they paid you five
years four years down the road. So it's a lot
about getting that guaranteed money up front. So if I'm
(19:15):
Brandon Iu, I really go into a short term deal
with a lot of guaranteed money, probably all three years guaranteed,
and then you're right back at the table, and then
you have a proven offensive philosophy under Kyle Shanahan and
an up and coming quarterback in the NFL. You couldn't
be in a better place. Otherwise you go to the
Steelers and they can't get it right, and you go
(19:36):
to another team like Cleveland and they don't get it right.
On the off of the side of the ball you
played two years, three years, they're looking to trade you,
or they're looking to cut those top players that are
making the most money off of the team when they
don't perform. So if I was brand Nay, I would
figure out a way to get it done with the
forty nine Ers and then get back to the table
three four years down the road for another contract.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Do you think that happens.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
I do think it happened. I think that when you
look at the entirety of the forty nine ers offense,
of course, it all runs through Christian McCaffrey and the
offensive line. But when you really look at the plays
that were made last year in big moments in the playoffs,
Brandon and You came through on a lot of those
third and shorts, fourth and shorts, and he's their number
one target, So I do think they value him. I
(20:21):
think that he was a little emotional in the way
that he handled it early on, communicating through the media
and telling people how the forty nine ers don't want them.
You have to understand when you're a young guy that
these are tactics that teams use to get their favorable deal.
So I think that they'll figure out a way to
get it done.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Stug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports. Ready, that's the
voice of Dante Whittner joining us. Okay, what about Rock Perdy.
What have you seen from him in camp this year?
Speaker 9 (20:47):
Well, he was taking full command of this offense last
year coming back off of injury. We saw him sputter
sometimes through the season, but he did get it done
in the playoffs. Right now, he's looking phenomenal and there
were two days where he had multiple interceptions on multiple throws.
I think there was a day when he had three interceptions,
and he followed it up the following day with four interceptions.
(21:08):
I don't really look at those things because when they
game plan and Kyle Shanahan sits with Rock Purdy in
the quarterbacks in that room, they know exactly where to
go with the football, and he has all the tools
in the capabilities. I think that the forty nine or
faithful would just like to see him step it up
sometimes Layton those games and pull it out like maybe
a Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers could. But other than that,
(21:29):
he's right on course to be a top paid, top
performing quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
How much pressure is for them to finally get over
that hump and to get to in Winnisuper Bowl.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
There's an immense amount of pressure for the forty nine
ers to get over the hump. And it started back
in twenty twelve, and we get so close, and they
get so close, and then something happens to where they
relinquished the whole Layton football games. And we saw it,
I believe three four or five years ago against Patrick
Mahomes late in the game turned long to Tyreek. You
(22:00):
squandered that lead. This time they were driving late in
the game, you get a blown blocking assignment by Spencer
Buford and you don't get an easy touchdown. So it's
just about the continued growth of everybody involved. And then
when you get to the playoffs. In those big games,
you have to make plays to get over the hump.
So there's immense pressure on the forty nine ers because
(22:20):
that window is starting to close.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Steug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports. Ready, that's the
voice of Dante Whitner joining us. The players voted on
that NFL dot com poll. They voted Lamar Jackson ahead
of Pat Mahomes in terms of the best players in
the NFL.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Do you agree?
Speaker 9 (22:43):
I do not agree. I think that the number one
player in the NFL should have been Patrick Mahomes, and
then number two could have been Tyreek Heel. But when
you're a quarterback that consistently leads your team and organization
to the Super Bowl and you perform well in late moments,
high pressure moments, I think you deserve to be the
number one player in the NFL. And it's all about
winning championships. So I agree that Patrick Mahomes he should
(23:06):
have been number one, but I never really got into
that list. I've never voted as a player for the
top one hundred players, so I don't know if they
picked selected players and coaches and front office members to
vote on that, but I've never voted on it. And
Johnson from Chicago was absolutely right. There's no way that
Aaron Rodgers should be on the list if he didn't
(23:26):
play last year. So I think that Johnson should have
also been included on that list. And I've never really
gotten into it, you know, just a bunch of opinions,
but the guys that are in the top five definitely
deserve to be there.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Okay, speaking of Aaron Rodgers, what type of year do
you think he has? Coming off in Achilles ten and
tear All reports our arm looks great, but you tell me,
what do you think.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
Well, with all the psychedelics that he's been doing, clearing
out his aura, you know, losing the game for a
year probably let a flame under him like he hasn't
had in a long time. And then you know, a
guy like Aaron Rodgers, he's into people doubting him, right,
So when you doubt a guy like that and a
guy like Tom Brady, they really get off on coming
(24:10):
out and proving everybody wrong. So I think he's going
to have a phenomenal year. You have Gary Wilson down there,
who's going to be his number one threat, Ohio State guy.
He's ready to take the next step. So I think
that the New York Jets and their fan base should
get ready for an incredible year. From Aaron Rodgers and
net organization.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Did you have a chance to watch Hard Knocks at all?
Speaker 9 (24:29):
I didn't have a chance to watch it at all.
Maybe a couple of years ago. But you know, nowadays,
there's so much, you know, with the reality TV. I
think a lot of it is planned. I don't really
get into it too much.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
No, No, I only ask because I did watch their
first episode of The Bears of the Bears one, and
they've added just a bunch of new pieces, right, kind
of like a whole new offense to go along with
the rookie quarterback to a defense that improved dramatically.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Does that work? Right?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Just does just going out and getting more talent and
get a new quarterback?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Does that work in the short term?
Speaker 9 (25:03):
No, you have to have continuity. You have to have
veteran players that all understand second and third level thinking
when it comes to football. For example, if you have
a young secondary, they can be talented at all they want.
But if you don't know how to deceive quarterbacks based
on with and depth perception, if you don't know how
to do it with your shoulders and read steps, if
(25:25):
you don't understand how to split the field, it's going
to be difficult to be quarterbacks that are at the
top of the game and have seen every coverage. So,
you know, I really don't agree that just because they
go and draft the Heisman winning quarterback and add a
couple of pieces that is going to finally get them
over the hump. There are teams that understand what it
(25:45):
means to practice hard and be able to persevere through
tough situations and perform in the moment. And then you
have teams who succumb to a lot of that pressure
and pain. And you know, and I believe that the
Chicago Bears will be another one of those this year
that will succumb to that. Eventually. I think the Caleb
Williams will lead them to some success, but I don't
(26:05):
think it's going to happen overnight.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Big story today is Jalen Hurts. Apparently a lack of
respect for his head coach, Nick Sirianni, is an excellent
owing and kind of did his own thing last year.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Where do you said?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
As a guy who sat in those film rooms but
analyzed as well, where do you sit on Jalen Hurts
not paying attention to his coach leading to an awkward relationship.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
Well, I think that when you have these type of
stories that are released, I have to think that a
lot of it is probably made up and some of
it is probably true. And when you think about the
fan base in Philadelphia and how rugged and tough they
are on their fan base, there's many stories that are
going to come out of there. Everything's great when you're winning,
(26:50):
when you struggle with that type of fan base, you're
going to get all type of stories. I think that
they've shown that they can work together and have success.
They've shown what the formula LA is. Last year, Jalen
Hurst was maybe injured a little bit, so he didn't
have the productivity that he had the previous year. But
I think that you know, two professionals working, grown men
(27:12):
will find a way to get over the hump. They
have all the talent in the NFC and maybe the
entire NFL, and if they can just find a way
to work together and not allow the emotions or the
personal to get to interfere with the game of football.
You can expect the Philadelphia Eagles to be competing with
the forty nine ers for that top spot in the NFC.
So I don't really get into that a lot. I
(27:34):
think that knowing who Jalen Hurts is and what he's accomplished,
and the trials and tribulations and how he persevere, I
think that he'll figure out a way to be professional
and get some whims on the board.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Okay, let me ask you about the Green Bay Packers,
really young team. Jordan Love gets his deal, how does
that season play out.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
I think that can come back and bite them. If
you watch them in the first eight games of the season,
he looked average and below average. He did catch fire.
Some of those games were against the low average defenses
and secondaries, and then when you get in the playoffs,
anything can happen. I think that the Green Bay Packers
probably should have waited another year before they paid Jordan Love,
(28:13):
but I just totally see it backfiring on those guys.
I do have a lot of respect for their defensive coordinator,
who I play for and the Cleveland Browns, and you
know he was at Ohio State. I think that he's
going to do a great job. I understand his philosophy,
the three to four system. He understands the width and
(28:33):
depth of the safeties, how to manipulate quarterbacks. So if
they can really get that defense going, anything can happen.
But I don't see Jordan Love starting the season, you know,
going through the middle of season and finishing the way
he finished off last year.
Speaker 1 (28:46):

who like he didn't care if you agree with this opinion.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
His opinion.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
He played a really high level, he analyzed a really
high level, and I don't agree with everything he says,
but I respect it has come from a place of
actual knowledge, not not hot taking stuff.

(29:59):
he got there?
Speaker 7 (30:00):
They're, uh, well, we're gonna start with Brandon Ayuk here, Doug.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
It's quite interesting.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
I was here working on Monday alongside you, but after
your show, these accounts on Twitter that like weren't big accounts,
like a couple thousand followers but not names that we
know and trust, were already tweeting that Brandon Ayuk was
headed to Pittsburgh. And I remember thinking, I was like, well,
this is these are not accounts I trust, so I'm
(30:28):
not gonna, you know, report on it.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
But he was trending this all started on Monday.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
So the latest with this Diana Russini of The Athletic
She says that this is still a.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Thing that that both teams are in communication.
Speaker 7 (30:40):
They're still negotiating, figuring out the deal, but no deal
is done now. On the other side of it, apparently
his agent was a Brandon Ayuk's agent was at Raiders'
training camp and so on the NFL network. They were
trying to get information from the agent and the agent
didn't want to say anything. He was like, no, I'm
(31:01):
not gonna comment. I'm not gonna say anything. All I'm
gonna tell you is stop paying attention to everything you
read on.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
X hmm, what you make of it?
Speaker 6 (31:10):
What do we make of it? And also to the
fact that I'm telling you the accounts on Monday.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
It was like I was like, did these people who
are nobody's have this information already before everybody else?
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Like that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Yeah, I think it's I think it's his. It's his
people trying to get drum up some interest. Hey, look
who's intereste here? Because if you have George Pickens mm hmm,
you have a really talented young wide receiving crew. Don't
get me wrong, more is more. But you're gonna have
to give him a new contract before you give Pickins
a new contract, before you figure out we're doing a
quarterback situation.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 8 (31:45):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
So I still think he's a Niner at the end
of the day.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
That's my thought, all right.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
So they're just they're just trying to get something for him,
maybe stirring it up.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
I see what you're saying. That makes sense. That does
make sense.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Now stick here with the Steelers for just a second,
because I feel like the discussion with Russell Wilson and
Justin Fields seems to be a lot closer than people
thought it was gonna be about who is this?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Because Russell Wilson's been hurt.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
So you you think once he gets out of his
little calf injury, because he's supposed to be ready for
Week one, he's not playing the preseason opener, but you
think it's just gonna be once the season starts Russell.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
Wilson, Yes, interesting, Okay, all right, Justin Fields takes over
at any point.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Uh yeah, at some point.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I don't thin Russell Wilson's very good.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I don't think just feels very good either, But I
don't think Russell Wilson's good to be a starting quarterback
the whole season.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Okay, all right, all right, let's move on here to
the Olympics.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
So this just happened maybe thirty minutes ago.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
It's the four hundred meter race, the men's four hundred
meter race. I'm gonna play for you. This is NBC
TV on the call. American Quincy Hall is in this race.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Check it out.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
He's partly during Richard something outside since Hermes Quincy, quin.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Quin Quincy with the.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
Whole sam come.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
My goodness, epic comeback, Doug.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
If you have not seen this video, he is like
the fifth man back when they when this video starts,
and so he's not even in the first three and
then he starts just digging deep like they say, and
he pulls it off and you see him stick his
chest out, so we know it's a torso.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
And he gets it at least. Yes, fishing so good,
so so good.
Speaker 7 (33:50):
Other things that have happened at the Olympics US wise
men's water polo. They beat Australia in a shootout, so
they're advancing to the semi finals. The US one Golden
women team pursuit cycling whatever that is. But go USA
men's volleyball did fall to Poland in the semi finals.
They can still play for the bronze and that's gonna
happen on a Friday. And right now we do have
(34:13):
the women's basketball and they completely have taken over. What
is the score now because they were up by a
lot now at this point, well, of course my TV
now is on it.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
There we go.
Speaker 7 (34:22):
It's seventy six to forty eight quarterfinal against Nigeria women's basketball.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
They just started in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
That sucks.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
In the NBA though, how about this Doug the Jazz
and Lori market in which he kind of was a
topic of conversation of maybe being traded. Well, he's agreed
to a five year, two hundred and thirty eight million
dollar contract renegotiation and extension market in is gonna make
an additional twenty four million for the upcoming season with
another four years and one hundred and ninety six million
(34:54):
added on.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
What do you make of that? Worth it?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Not?
Speaker 6 (34:58):
Worth it?
Speaker 4 (34:59):
What?
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I think he's really good?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I mean that they are not. But you know, he
was a big ticket item out there. They just couldn't
get what they wanted in a trade. You know they
couldn't get. Is it Braden Pazinski that from from Golden State.
That's who they'd circle around that they wanted. So I
still think it doesn't mean he's not tradable, just not
gonna trade him this offseason.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
They're not going to trade on this offseason. But you
think he can still be traded.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Potentially, Yeah, I mean right now they're not. They're Utah
is still in rebuild mode, right, Yes, So I think
when you sign a new deal, I think you have
to go through through like January fifteenth or something before
you can be traded. So again, no lock that he'll
be a Jazz for life, but they saw his value.
It's pretty good out there. I still think they'll maintain
that value. Get ready for the trade deadline this year.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
Do you think there's still a chance that marking In
becomes a Laker since they had they had an eye
on him.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
I just don't what are they going to send back?
Speaker 9 (35:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (35:53):
No, I but you know they'll figure something out.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
It'll be three versus five ad Markenen and then that's it.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Mm hmmmm.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
All right, how about how about this maybe not necessarily
sports related?
Speaker 6 (36:08):
Doug but I'm gonna bring up Taylor Swift for you here.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
So apparently Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
You know, she's still on her tour.
Speaker 7 (36:15):
She's in Vienna, and CNN is reporting that her three
concerts in Vienna have been canceled because of a terrorist threat.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
They already arrested two fellas who.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
Had plans and I don't know what else, but they
arrested two guys who were going to execute a terrorist attack,
not necessarily at her concert, but in the region of Vienna.
So they just canceled all.
Speaker 6 (36:39):
Three of her shows.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
H scary, scary stuff. Thankfully they stopped it out.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
And she's not gonna perform because Taylor Swift's an international treasure,
not just a national treasure.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
She is an international treasure.
Speaker 7 (36:52):
But that sucks if you paid, and you know it
was not cheap or you planned.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
Maybe some people even traveled.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
You know, we had like a uh, Mike Harmon here
who traveled with her with his family to go see
I don't know, I think it was in Ireland.
Speaker 6 (37:06):
He went to go see Taylor's with So imagine like.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
You plan this and then ugh gets canceled and it
was supposed to happen like this week so it's like,
really really unfortunate situation.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
Oh, what the heck was that?
Speaker 5 (37:18):
It was Mike Carmen weighing in upset. He's upset for
everybody in Austria.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
I think all of our listeners knew right away it
was Mike Carmon.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
That's a very famous Mike Carmen drop.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
I mean, oh, excuse me, I mean it was it
just oh, it was just Oh that's the press.
Speaker 8 (37:35):
Oh may get out there and pressed. That was the.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Press The Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
All right, so.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Jim Harbaugh punished for a party that he's already been to, Right,
that one doesn't make any sense. I'm fired up for
college foot Well, we'll talk about that in the podcast.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
And ran in a yuk.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Don't think he's going to where start at leap show
