(00:23):
Sports Radio. Interesting location Today we'll discuss I'm actually a river.
I'm beside a river or a canal in Bricktown and
Oklahoma City, home of your NBA champions It does it?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Just it.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Let's just be honest. It feels weird. It feels weird
to say, Hey, the NBA Championship. NBA team is in
Oklahoma City, but I want to talk a lot of
college football here. To start the show, my good friend
Mark Rogers, who's was my co host in oklah the
city almost twenty five years ago. He's gonna pop on
(01:04):
with us here in ten minutes and before we get
to Benvolin as we get ready to talk some NFL
football Packers camp. Other camps have already opened up. Some
camps open today, I do want to talk some college football.
And look, I'm a college basketball coach, so I'm not
gonna say I know where all the bodies are buried.
(01:25):
But now a full year into it, I learn every
day about how things work or are working or will
work in this new window of college athletics. And I
thought I heard a quote. I heard a quote from
Mike Losley. Mike Losley is the head coach at Maryland,
(01:51):
and he was He's from d c's from the DMV originally,
and so as a guy who cut his chops as
an elite recruiter at Alabama, at Illinois, at Florida, and
previously at Maryland when Ralph Frigian was there, he has
(02:13):
done a tremendous job on paper of recruiting better talent
at Maryland than anyone since they've joined the joined the
Big Ten. Okay again, it's all relatives.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Now. They have not won, and.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's very easy to go Hey, let's look at his
head coaching record. He was two and twenty six at
New Mexico. So yeah, maybe the guy can't coach. But
if you look at Maryland the two years previous to
this to last year, he won eight games to eight
games seven games year before that, they seemingly had turned
the tide last year.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Four and eight.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So I want you to take a listen to this
quote and then I'll kind of expound upon it because
it's very, very interesting this new in college athletics and
how coaches across the landscape of college football and college
basketball talking and we all have different ways in which
we want to tack the same problem. But here's Locksley again,
(03:11):
head coach and Marylynd coming off to two straight eight
win seasons, discussing what happened in his disappointing year last year.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
This for me is kind of a year of what
I like to call vulnerability. One of the greatest characteristics
you can have as a leader is the ability to
be vulnerable. And I'll tell you a year ago, coach
locks lost his locker room. And for me to stand
in front of a group of media and tell you
that I lost my locker room, and it wasn't because
I wasn't a good coach. It wasn't because they weren't
good players. Because we were better than a four win team.
(03:42):
But what we have to do is we had haves
and have nots. For the first time in our locker
room and the landscape of college football taught me a
valuable lesson, and that valuable lesson is important for me,
even in the midst of this change, to continue to
educate our players on the importance of what playing for
something bigger than yourself is all about. And I can
(04:03):
tell you that if I've got to put my desk
in the locker room this year, I will, and I
expect our team to show up, play hard.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And probably one of the.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Most exciting things is if you ask me what kind
of team we have, I don't know yet.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And that's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
And that's a good thing because as a coach sometimes
we feel like we have to have that answer.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Well, I've got fall camp.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I've got about twenty five practices in July and August
to figure it out and feel very confident with the
changes and the elevation.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Of our program that we'll.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Put a product on the field that we can all
be really excited about.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Listen, I understand that we all love We talked about
this yesterday Lindy's Athlon, you know, you name it, the
preview magazine that we've always picked up like I am, Yeah,
I'm a college basketball coach, and yeah, I was a
professional basketball player after being a college basketball player, and
(04:58):
I've been and I worked at ESPN for a decade,
and I worked for CBS for a half decade, and
this is my eighth year at Fox. So I think
people think that there's some secret website we go to
and there are some pretty good ones, or there's some
secret hand booklet handout that gives us all the information
(05:20):
or that. And you know, you try and talk to
as many college coaches, basketball, football, NFL people as possible,
and you do, and I can get more information than
you can get because of the jobs that I've had
over the past twenty plus years. But the reality is,
I'm a sports fan just like you are. I picked
up all these magazines anytime I've been flying, and this
(05:42):
year they're completely worthless, completely worthless, because everybody's got a
whole new team year after year. The old days of
a I saw this kid played a little bit as
a freshman, play a little bit more as a sophomore.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
As a junior, he started to come on.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Now he's a senior, and I think he's going to
have a huge senior year Like that just doesn't usually
happen anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
It just doesn't.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I'm not saying unequivocally it doesn't happen anywhere, but it
is a rarity as opposed to that's how it used
to happen at most places. And then you throw in
the money factor, which you could sit there and go like, well, hey,
they need to learn to deal with it. Coaches need
to learn to figure it out. But I mean, at
your own place of work, if you think that you're
(06:32):
better than a guy is making more money than you are, are.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You going to be happy about it? Right? Are you?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
And most people would tell you, like I want the
company to be successful. I want, But in reality, any
group project you put in on, if you're making the
most money, you got to do the most work.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
But that doesn't always happen.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I just we have thrown in a additional adult problem
into a kid's game. And then you throw in the
idea that you can go and chase something year after
year like that's going to fix your problem. Only makes
it worse. I just fascinated by it. Mike Loxley, like,
(07:19):
I never would say that. Also, I don't think it
was true even in my first year. But it's the
thing that you worry about the most, is am I
going to lose the locker room? And saying you lost
the locker room and saying it's because of you know,
guys worrying about what somebody else is getting paid, or
worried about where that what they can get paid elsewhere,
(07:39):
or I'm sure he's had guys shut it down like
that's the ultimate nightmare. In college athletics and losing a
locker room has always been a part of sport.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
You can drop all the pretty plays, you give, all
the impassion speeches, but if they're not listening, if they
don't try and do what you want them to do,
all the preparation you have that doesn't actually matter. And
you know, I was hopped on a local show here
in Oklahoma City and I said, Hey, if you do
a show in any college market in the country, everyone's
(08:15):
going to say, man, we had a good year in
the portal.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
We got this guy, we got that guy.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Now, the difference in that and recruiting back ten years
ago is there was the assumption that if you get
a guy in recruiting, he's a freshman, maybe he plays
a little bit. Maybe one freshman breaks through and plays
a lot, but for the most part, your expectations, especially
in football, are not great for freshmen in the portal.
(08:40):
If you get a guy and he's highly touted and
he's in the portal and you pay a bunch of money,
he's supposed to perform, and if he doesn't perform, it's
going to be the coach's fault.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's going to be that player's fault.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It's going to be very different, and there's not the
grace given as I think Mike Loxley smartly.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
But like, I don't know what we got. It's like
I got twenty five practices.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You really get fifteen padded practices before they play a
college football game.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
It's crazy. It's crazy, and team.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Sports don't operate in a quick bake oven, but apparently
they have to. And I just I heard that sound
and I thought, yeah, it was pretty brave of Mike Loxley.
It does explain a lot for what happened to the Terps,
where generally he's a beloved guy that the players. You
feel like, the players fight like hell for why did
that not happen last year? And it's a snapshot of
(09:36):
the challenges of this college landscape moving forward. Okay, coming
up next to the Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox
Sports Radio. My good friend Mark Rodgers has been my
partner works in Oklahoma City. Right, we'll get Ben Bollin
on as well, but we'll get Mark Rogers on here,
and we'll ask Kim okay sec Ken Oklahoma one of
(10:01):
historically great college football programs in the country.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Can they compete atop the SEC? Can they?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I don't know the answer to it. Maybe he does, Okay,
maybe he does. That's upcoming next. But first, you know,
I'm on the road and all I can think of
is home, right, not just because my dogs are there,
because my sleep number is there.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
And you think about wherever you are as hot as
it is. What if you had a bond.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
What if you had a bed that features cooling layers
and for soothing the sleep throughout the night? You know,
what if you had micro climate tempts before and after
activating max cooling from the Climate TM series in the
you know, which is just phenomenal. Why should you choose
a sleep number smart bed so you can sleep the
(10:55):
way you like, the only bed that lets you make
each side firmer or softer whenever you like. If your
sleep number setting and now I'll save up to eight
hundred dollars on the select sleep Number smart beets for
limited time, exclusively at sleep Number stores or sleep number
dot com.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Stug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. Ben Vollen'll join us
upcoming in ten minutes. We'll get his thoughts on training
Camp says they open figure out what the Bengers are
gonna do about Trey Hendrickson, if if Tyreek Hill can
make nice with to a tongue of lots of stuff
to get to. But first I want to welcome in
(12:47):
dear friend of mine and also a guy who's my
original radio co host in Oklahma City, hosts his own
show in Oklahma City. He is the one and only
Mark Rogers, and Mark I brought you on because last
year before the season began, I said, I thought Oklahoma
was one of the most fascinating college twell programs in
the country, and people weren't really talking about them because
(13:10):
we talk about, you know, the top four or five teams, right,
but Ou has been historically unbelievably successful, not just in
the Stoops era but also you kind of yeah and beyond,
but also you go back to when you know the
King fifties coach. Yeah, right, you go back to the fifties, right,
same thing. So my question is what's the state of
(13:31):
the state now for Oklahoma foo. I think they made
some changes.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
They brought in Jim Naggy, who was the director of
the Senior Bowl and has all kinds of scouting contacts
that really helped them get Jade Not who's one of
the two players that they have that are projected to
be on the All SEC first or second team. So
they've turned it around a little bit in dealing with
the new era of college football. They're pretty talented. John
Mattier is going to be a deal. I mean, he
was a stud at Washington State with Ben Arbuckle in
(13:55):
that offense last year, they didn't have any direction on
offense and it looked bad because they had no wide
receivers from week to week, shoddy offensive line, and so
now I think they've got a plan and Materier is
going to be really good. How does that translate in
the SEC where basically every week is a toss up?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
But last year it was Jackson Arnold is gonna be
the next right, yeah right. It lasted for not that
long two and a half weeks, but you can see
they had nothing around him.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
They had no wide receivers from week to week.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
If you go at the beginning of the season the
preseason depth chart, I mean their best wide receiver was
a walk on from South Lake, carol Why at times
they had no one play it was injuries, recruiting, I
think development on the offensive line was a concern. But
they went out and they've got two freshmen, one that
was a five star that they think will be rotational
players this year that can kind of grow along some
(14:44):
older players. They've got a starting left tackle that came
in from Western Carolina that they feel like will be
in upgrade.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So it's one to say and look, I'm smiling because
I'm living this life, right, and it's like, well, what
is he like when he gets here and there is
like Oklahoma playing the SEC is the absolute top of
college football, and so it's like, all right, he see
West of Carolina. He may be awesome and maybe he's capable,
but in the SEC, he's going against a pro every
(15:15):
time he puts his hand down in the dirt.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Correct. Yeah, But there's other teams that are going through
some of the same type.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
They're all going through the same Alabama has a really
good offensive line. Texas, A and M may have the
best offensive line in the SEC. Coming back, Oh, you's
going to present some problems to other teams on that
side of the football as well.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Now on defense, they got some dudes.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
I mean, they've got guys that I think are going
to play on Sundays, which they haven't had.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I mean, if you go throughout the Bob Stoops tenure.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
At Oklahoma, there were some years that they had draft
picks like Ohio State has had in the last couple
of years. Question, they haven't had that recently. They just
haven't had the talent. So I mean, can matiir be
this type of quarterback flux of funds? Is that how
they did it?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (15:51):
No, I think some is that they took him a
while to get things figured out. They weren't Texas Tech.
They didn't want to be. They thought that was kind
of considered cheating the way that that was done. They
didn't embrace paying players right away.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
So it took some time.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
And I think Brent Ventables is learning as he goes
along as a head coach. He loves coordinating defenses. That's
what he loves. He's gonna do it this year, but
being the head coach, he kind of have to take
away from that focus and be more of an administrator overall.
So the jury's still out on that. I mean, if
this year doesn't get to end, I think they want
(16:26):
to keep him. This is in a situation where they're like, yeah,
we want to get rid of him because he's got
a pretty big buyout of.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Time at it. But you also have a new ad coming.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
Yeah, they need to He needs to win I think
seven or there's gonna be a lot of pressure on
him because.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
The hype, if you have a chance to listener run here.
The hype is building.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
And I don't I'm not necessarily buying into the hype completely,
but the hype is building for them to have a
chance to compete to be a factor in the SEC race.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I just I don't think. I don't Maybe they don't care.
I don't think they understand the difference in the conference.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I just don't. I just think we're Oklahoma. We win
ten games the year, and that's that.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And I'm not going to say never, but the likelihood
of winning ten games, You'll have a year here or there.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
But it's so so difficult.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
Their schedule last year featured Missouri and Ole Miss in
years in which they may have had the best teams
at those schools in a long time. I think they
take a step back this year, and they're both in Norman,
so you want to try to win those games. They
beat Auburn on the road last year in a game
that could have gone either way. They played them at home,
so there's a shot for them to win a few
more than they did a year ago when they got six.
(17:38):
They also now add in Michigan, which is going to
be a heck of a game the beginning of the season.
But Michigan's bring in a freshman quarterback in against a
good defense and rent venable scheme defense, and so people
feel pretty good about that matchup and the line is
moving OUs way in that one too.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It really is amazing, though, how everybody thinks they know
and you have no idea, whereas for our entire lifetime,
our entire lifetime, you could have you couldn't say, you
couldn't pick what the schedule is.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
But when the schedule had.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Come out, you go like, all right, well they're going
to win that one now, and that and that and
that one. They just got better players right now, you
don't know. But then you're in the sec when everybody
thinks they got played. It is OU football.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
So even if OU was three and nine last year,
everybody's gonna talk themselves into thinking it's a nine and
three or ten and two season. That's the way it
happens every year, no matter what happened the year before.
Was the way it was when they were down in
the nineties when John Blake was the head coach. Oh well,
we have talent, they're just gonna, you know, just some
bad breaks, and so they've been spoiled for a long
period of time.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Here. What do you think why did the Big twelve
turn down Memphis?
Speaker 8 (18:36):
Do you think it was that they didn't want to
set the precedent of taking that kind of cash.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
I mean you and Mark acc did that for SMU. Right, Well,
SMU you said about being Berett You or Mark, you
guys are good friends. I think he's a great commissioner.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
I mean the one of the quotes that I saw,
Yeah who Sports had that said we vetted them once,
we're not We're not coming back just because they're going
to commit two hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
So I think that that kind of spoke volumes.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
SMU probably considers itself a little bit more of an
elite school than Memphis.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
No question they are, but it's it is about their money,
and Memphis does have some money.
Speaker 8 (19:12):
You'd have to add another team. You can't have an
odd number of football teams. You could do it in basketball,
but why can't shoot a football you have? You got
to have a team off every week. I think it's
got to be that they think the ACC is going
to collapse. It's got to be right, and you got
to have it the proper number of seats. You got
to have a plan.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I'm sure Florida State's part of the plan, in Virginia
Tech's part of the plan. And I don't know what
else because that makes sense, right, you had Florida State
and Virginia Tech, and now Central Florida has a travel partner,
and West Virginia has a travel partner, and then you
kind of figure figure out the rest.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
I would think if the if the ACC would collapse,
that it would just be natural that Clemson and Florida
State would be in the SEC and you would have
North Carolina Virginia go to the Big Ten. If they
want to add those teams, they could probably bring revenue
in that would help those leagues in TV.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Feels like there's a plan. My thing is, it feels
like there's a plan there that everybody has that we
don't know what the like like this is. You know,
people say the NFL is scripted, like there's a script
to this thing. Like you said, it makes complete sense
North Carolina probably do cast to go to the You
has to go with them to the Big Ten. Yeah, right,
Well credits that to the Memphis president for coming up
with this plan. I mean, that's a great idea and
(20:17):
the people that we're going to back it to bring
relevance to that's sports and athletic program the university.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
That's a baller move to me. I don't know if
I was a Big twelve. I don't know all the details,
but I probably would thought.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
About, Yeah, I'm two hundred million dollars or too. It
was fifty, right, yeah, two fifty. Big Bread was coming
up later on it said two to fifty.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
That's a lot of it. That's a that's a that's
a lot of money. Lastly, Mile Mote Oklahoma State. Yeah,
sixty five new guys.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
It's more than that.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
There are players that I think can start on that
team that have not practiced for Oklahoma State and official
capacity that they came in after spring, but.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
The boys from Oklahoma Concert gave him some money.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
I mean, they've been able to spread some money out
there and find some guys from They took advantage of
the fact that SEC would not accept SEC transfers after
the spring portal, and they've got some players from the
SEC that have come in.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
And I think Mike Gundy's staff is really rejuvenated.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
They had been complacent for a while and so they're
working harder than they have in a long time. Their
schedule at the beginning of the season, they got three
out of four of their games in the Big Twelve
at home. They go to Arizona those are games that
they need to win because it gets tougher on the
back end. But Mike Gundy has had two losing seasons
at Oklahoma State, his first in his last. He's always
(21:33):
better when he's not expected to do well. And so
I think they're gonna five and a half sir win total.
I think they go over that.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
He's Mark Rogers, he's my dear friend, my former radio
co host, and of course you can hear him in
Oklahoma City.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Thanks so much. Mark.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Let me get you to Isaac Long Crime and get
a quick update before we touch some NFL football.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Ilo. Thanks Doug.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
Today, Miami Dolphins quarterback to a tongue of ilo and
described our receiver Tyreek Hill is working to rebuild relationships
with his teammates after critical comments that he'll made at
the end of last.
Speaker 10 (22:00):
When you say something like that, you don't just come
back from that with hey, my bad. No, you got
to work that relationship up. You got to build everything
up again. And it's still a work in progress, not
just for me but for everybody. He's working on himself.
He's working on the things that he say. You know,
he says he wants to get better with that's the
first step to me, and so I commend him for
doing that.
Speaker 9 (22:18):
Meanwhile, NFL media reported Dolphins cornerback Already Burns is feared
to have suffered a torn acl today at practice. In
Major League Baseball today, Rafael Devers hit two home runs
of the San Francisco Giants nine to three victory at Atlanta,
as Justin Verlander at long last, got his first victory
of the season after starting to eight. Cincinnati wanted Washington
(22:40):
five nothing. The Reds Nick Lidolo a complete game, four
hit shut out with eight strikeouts and no walks, Pirates
over the Tigers six to one by the Spencer Horwitz
grand slam. Right now, the Mets on top of the
Angels six to three, top of the eighth, Kansas City
of four to two lead over the Cubs after four
at Wrigley and at Corsfield, the Rockies and Cardinals just
underway no score in the top of the second.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Doug stug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. All right, we
turned from college football. Let's talk to NFL football, shall we?
As Our good friend Ben Bolden joins us senior NFL
writer for The Boston Globe, and Ben Let's start with
the Patriots, a team that when you and I first
met that so you were covering for the Globe and
then of course has expanded to now the entire National
(23:23):
Football League. They go out and get a head coach
that I think everybody respects. But what is the right
what's the right perception to have of where this franchise
is in terms of their level of competitiveness in that
AFC East.
Speaker 11 (23:39):
Yeah, I think the Patriots entered the season with credibility,
and it's been a few years since you've been able
to say that about this team for the first time
in several years. There's not anything about this team that
really leaves you scratching your head. Like one year it
was they put Matt Patricia and Joe Judge in charge
of the offense, and then the other years they did
(23:59):
nothing to the roster even though they had significant issues.
Last year they put you Odd Mayo in charge of
the team even though he had no experience. This year,
everything makes sense. You can see the plan and how
it's going to unfold. They've got a very experienced coaching staff,
a competent coaching staff led by Mike Rabel, Josh McDaniels.
They have several guys who have been head coaches, like
(24:21):
Doug maroone Thomas Brown who was with the Bears last year.
So they have a very experienced staff, guys who have
done their roles before. They have a young quarterback in
Drake May who does have a lot to prove, but
I think last year showed that he's he's a good athlete,
he can he definitely belongs in the NFL. And the
Patriots have a I think a good young quarterback, and
(24:42):
then they went out in free agency and spent a
lot of money on quality players like Milton Williams from
the Eagles, Stefan Diggs coming back from his torn ACL
They beat up the offensive line, so you know, I
still think their ceiling is kind of limited. This is
probably a team that, if everything goes their way, that
you know, probably a Tendance Evan team. But there's just
(25:02):
there's so much more competent and you can see the
plan now, and you know the signs are are finally
pointing up in Foxborough after several head scratching years.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Here, uh Tua talked about Tyreek Hill kind of making
amends with teammates. That sounds good, but those quotes kind
of live forever. Uh, what's the likelihood that it becomes
Kumbai in Miami?
Speaker 11 (25:32):
I don't think very good. I think the owner really
should have taken a harder look about making a you know,
a total reset this offseason with head coach Mike Kataniel
and GM Chris Greer. That culture is a mess you had.
I think it was Bradley Chubb a few weeks ago
was talking about, yeah, you know, we're all in this year.
You know, we said that last year, but we were lying,
(25:53):
you know, we were we were just giving you lip service.
It's like, well, that's not that's not a good sign.
That's not certainly not good for the co which that
his players are just giving lip service about being all in.
And when when you have a team led by when
Tyreek Kill is one of your leaders, like that's never
been I don't think his strong suit leading by example.
And I thought today he Tua had a quote that
(26:13):
said his relationship with Tyreek Kill is still a work
in progress, which is like wow, I mean they've been
together three years now, four years, Like, how how could
it possibly still be a work in progress? So there's
I just think there's a lot of dysfunction in Miami
right now, that team hasn't been very disciplined. They never
win in December, they never win cold weather games, they
never beat playoff teams, and Mike McDaniel's just I don't
(26:37):
think been able to instill much discipline in that locker room.
So you know, with Tyreek Hill, he's saying all the
right things now, but we've we've heard that from the
Dolphins before. This is a team that if they don't
have a good start, things could implode very quickly down
in Miami.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Since that does that Trey Hendrickson, they also don't have
their first round pick. You know the what ends up
happening with the Bengals.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
I mean, I think both get resolved eventually, but it's
like this franchise continues to break new ground in dysfunction.
I mean, the whole purpose of this CBA was to
avoid player holdouts, but like count on the Bengals, they
managed to get it gone with Shamar Stewart, who just
wants to sign the same contract that the Bengals have
signed every other draft kick over the years.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Too.
Speaker 11 (27:22):
But the Bengals are the ones insisting on changing the language,
and they're they're holding firm and so is Shamar Stewart,
and I think Stewart would be crazy to like continue
holding out much longer. He probably just has to bite
his lip and accept it. But the Bengals always play hardball,
always seem to kick off their players. They did last
(27:43):
year with Chase and t Higgins. They played hardball with them,
didn't give them the contracts that those guys deserve. It's
spoiled training camp for them. The Bengals started the season
like oh and two, one and four whatever it was.
They lost to the Patriots which cost them the playoffs,
and now here they are again with Trey Hendrickson and
Shamar Stewart doing the same thing, and Mike Brown, the owner,
(28:05):
is talking to the press and just totally blaming the
agents and putting all the owners on the player's side.
So you know, it's just classic Bengals, the team where
Carson Palmer threatened to retire he did retire instead of
continuing to play for them. They're up to it again
now with these contraction inagains, and it'll eventually get resolved.
I don't think Trey Hendrickson will get traded, but the
(28:27):
Bengals are just always causing problems with their players.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Is this the year that the league catches up to
the Chiefs.
Speaker 11 (28:36):
No, I don't think so. I'd be worried that the
Chiefs got humiliated in the Super Bowl, and now, you know,
I think they're going to beef up their offensive line,
They're going to try to get more weapons for Patrick Mahomes.
I think it might be the opposite. I'd be afraid
of the Chiefs coming back with a vengeance. Now, you know,
Travis kelt Is, you know, starting to get to the
(28:57):
end of his career and he's been such a big
part of that dynasty. You know, we'll see if they
can kind of continue to be such a dominant team
without them. But when you've got Mahomes and you've got
Andy Reid and you still have Thief Spagnola running the defense,
I'm sorry, the Chiefs aren't going anywhere this year. There's
still going to be a wagon And I'd be afraid
that they got us humiliated so badly in the Super
(29:17):
Bowl that they address their needs in the offseason and
they're going to come back with the vengeans this year.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Ben Johnson said that he wants Caleb Williams to complete
seventy percent of his passes. Now, that sounds great, sounds great.
It does sound like dink and dunk. And last year
he didn't throw the ball downfield almost at all, and
it feels like, you know, sometimes in order to get
to that seventy percent, you're going to hold on the
ball and eat the ball instead of run the risk
(29:46):
of throwing incomplete passes. What's your thoughts on a first
time head coach talking about completion percentages so openly.
Speaker 11 (29:56):
Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more. I think it's
one of the most overrated that's that a quarterback can have,
because yeah, is it just a bunch of screen passes
and dank and dunk, Like I don't care if you're
completing seventy percent of passes, if you're not pushing the
ball down the field, tell me what his yards per
a tenth are. That's to me the real stat how
often are you getting the ball downfield and creating big
plays in the passing game? And you know, I think
(30:20):
raining Caleb Williams in is an important function for Ben
Johnson because I think Caleb Williams likes to take too
many chances and he throws off platform and he gets
himself in trouble sometimes, so it is good to rain
him in and focus maybe on safer throws. But I really,
you know, seventy percent great, whoop do you do? But
all that really matters is are you getting the ball
(30:42):
down field? And so you know that's going to be
the real key for Caleb Williams. Not as he completing passes,
but are they putting points on the board? And I
mean seventy four thousand yards those are all benchmarks that
no Bears quarterback has ever sniffed. So it would be
a record setting year for the Bears if if Caleb
Williams can get there, and he's got the talent, but
(31:04):
after that rookie year, I mean, I think he's got
a ways to go behind Drake May and obviously behind
Jayden Daniels for Caleb Williams to prove that that he
belongs in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Okay, let me ask you a question that some Packer
fans ask me. How good actually is Jordan Love?
Speaker 11 (31:21):
You know, I think he's good enough that the Packers
are ready to make some noise. He's made the playoffs
both of his years. He had a nice little run
two years ago. You know, want a road playoff game
or two. So I think Jordan Love is the answer
for the Packers. He can I mean, this guy can
light it up, you know, the great tradition of Packers quarterbacks.
(31:44):
I think this is this is gonna be a good
I sense this being the year, you know, for the Packers.
I don't know how deep to ultimately get, but like
I could see Detroit taking a step back with all
the changes they made in our coaching staff, especially in
an offense. You know, the Vikings will see what they are.
I love Kevin O'Connell as a coach, but now that
they're turning the team over to CJ. McCarthy, they're kind
(32:06):
of an unknown. Whereas Jordan Love, now this is his
third year entering as the starting quarterback. Him and Matt Lafleur,
I got to think are on a pretty good page. Yeah,
maybe he throws a few too many interceptions, but Jordan Love,
I think has really developed into a nice passer. And
with where the Packers are as an organization compared to
everyone else in their vision, I think this could be
(32:27):
a good year for the Packers coming up.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Who are we not talking about that we should be
in terms of this is a playoff team. This is
a I don't know, you want to say Super Bowl contender,
Like we always hyper focus on a couple of teams.
Cowboys are example of we always hyper focus on them, right.
We hyper focus on teams who are at the top
last year and the Chiefs I think deserved that focus
because the consistency of success.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Who are we not focusing on enough?
Speaker 11 (32:54):
So I really like the Rams this year. Even though
Matthew Stafford is like the oldest thirty seven year old
on the planet, I still think he's a top eight
NFL quarterback, McVeigh the heck of a coach. These young
guys like Jared Vers on defense are a year older now.
So I really like the Rams this year. And honestly,
if it wasn't snowing in that playoff game against the Ego,
if I think the Rams may have won that game.
(33:16):
So I do like the Rams. In the NFC AFC,
it does kind of feel like the Ravens like they're due.
I mean people are talking about the Ravens, so they're
not under the radar. The two teams in the AFC West,
the Chargers year two under Hardball and the Broncos Year
three under Sean Payton. That's a loaded division and the Broncos.
You know, bo Nick had a great rookie year. Now
(33:39):
you know he's going to be a year more into it.
Sean Payton proving once again he's just an incredible offensive
mind and quarterback hooter. The Broncos have an outstanding defense,
one of the best in the league. I think the
Denver Broncos are definitely you know, they're a team that's
been kind of dormant the last half decade or so.
Haven't heard much from the Broncos, but I think Sean
Payton's team is going to be a real problem and
(34:00):
make some noise here.
Speaker 1 (34:01):

Speaker 3 (35:52):
So interesting. Yeah, I was trying around this morning.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I was like, NBA champions are here, whereas like you know,
if you're in LA, people kind of freaking out, run
up and down the streets.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Now like, yeah, we'll win one next year.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
The favorites again, got a lot to get to this hour,
including our good friend Mark Medina will join us. He's
our Fox Sports Radio NBA insider. We'll talk about some
of the movement in the league. And Brett McMurphy will
also join us, as I just again, I want to
wet your appetite every day with a little college football
talk here on the Doug Gottlib Show on Fox Sports Radio,
(36:27):
including I gotta ask Brett, like Alabama gotta be some
pressure to take another step take a step back atop
the SEC this year, especially with how it ended not
getting the College Fall playoff, and then there's the rumors
of hey, maybe Nick Saban would come back and coach again.
(36:48):
Is that actually true. We'll get to that upcoming in
about about twenty minutes. But we do this every Wednesday.
Wednesday is the middle of the week. We do an
hour pod before the show drops, after the show. It's
a three hour run, middle of the day, middle of
the week, middle of the show.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
We call it the Midway. It's not getting the middle,
it's time for the Midway. Okay, guys.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Usually I take your feedback on the Midway, right Patrick,
you're sitting in Jay Stews's chair.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
I loo, you've done this before.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Obviously, Sam, you're you're a constant here on the show,
and so Sam, I do appreciate your idea of doing
the Midway on what your own team when it bottom's
out right.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
Well, yeah, I had this idea. Dave Roberts was talking
about how we're kind of at rock bottom here, notable
times that our teams have bottomed out on or off
the field. But we're gonna save that for another time
because you, uh, you wanted to get something uh, you
wanted to get to something else, maybe more of the
liquid of variety.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Yeah, and no, it's we'll do a beer one at
some point here. Getting ready for the football season we do.
I wanted to do an overall coffee discussion.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Woo woo.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
No, because there are things that have changed in our society,
right like uh, and I'm Ilo, You and I will
connect on this where you think you're younger than me
but about but close to the same age, Samuel a
little younger than me.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Obviously, Patrick your way, you are your name.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
But it's the idea of when when we were kids,
we didn't go out as much, and when you did,
if you were going to go watch sports on TV,
it was almost always with your youth team. And then
it was also to eat pizza, whereas now like wings
are probably the wings that become bigger than pizza. I
think could be wrong in terms of gathering to watch sports,
(38:43):
Like wings weren't that big a thing in the eighties
and nineties. They just weren't.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Right, And coffee has Coffee is now what soft drinks
used to be.
Speaker 5 (38:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Soft drinks used to be used to stop somewhere and
get it and get a big gulp, all right, seven
eleven you get big up. Now you stop somewhere and
you get a coffee iced coffee latte, very customizable, correct,
So I wanted to have the complete coffee discussion.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Right, let's start with and I have pre streamed you guys.
All of you are coffee drinkers, correct, So like I
lo you, you bring your own.
Speaker 9 (39:20):
From home, Sam, you want to handle this one on
my behalf.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
I describe what you're saying, right, Isak. It's a fancy man.
He's got a little coffee cuff and a saucer, a
porcelain saucer, porcelain coffee cup. And it's not a normal
sized coffee cup. It's like it's a cappuccino. It's a cappuccino.
So it's very dainty. Not saying you're dainty, Isaac, but
it's a fancy, dainty little cup. And you look very
British drinking out of it like you'd be drinking your
(39:46):
afternoon tea. But I really respect that because I've brought
in porcelain mugs before because I just maybe like I
don't want to drink out of styrofolm today. So yes,
Isaac is pro coffee. I'm I don't know about Patrick though,
I'm pro coffee.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
What about you appreciating Kat Patrick?
Speaker 1 (40:00):
He's a coffee Oh yeah wait wait, so wait, Ilo,
you you bring it from home.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Yeah, it's your home. What's your home brewing technique? Though,
by the way, whole brew at home? So i'mor you
perk drip French press, what do you do?
Speaker 9 (40:15):
I'm a huge snob. So if anybody has a problem
with this. At Isaac lohen Kron on social media, I
have just a simple drip machine.
Speaker 7 (40:28):
But you're talking about with the paper filter in the ground.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Very simple.
Speaker 9 (40:33):
I grind my own beans. I don't get pre ground coffee.
It's freshly ground and then it goes right into the
thermost to keep it at its peak taste. And I
only have my coffee black, no cream, no sugar, no
crap because there's a difference between coffee and coffee drinks. Now,
if you grind your own beans and make it the
(40:54):
right way, it tastes so good you don't need any
of that other crap. Again, if anybody out there.
Speaker 7 (40:58):
Has a problem with it, crap is halfway beans.
Speaker 11 (41:01):
You know what.
Speaker 9 (41:02):
I don't get these fruit fruit beans. I think if
your technique is good, when you're Isaac wah and grons,
you can get average beans at the grocery store like
I get the average beans at Trader Joe's.
Speaker 7 (41:16):
Medium meat right in the middle.
Speaker 9 (41:19):
But with my skill, I can make them a lot
better than most people can make. These fruit fru twenty
two dollars bag beans that were roasted ten minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
He does sound like somebody who shops Trader Joe's, right,
he just does. He nailed it. Thanks youself as the
Trader Joe's shop.
Speaker 7 (41:35):
Put good quality products out there.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
I will say trade, but let's let's not go crazy, right.
I still like cheerios, not cheery What do they call it,
the ros Trader row?
Speaker 3 (41:47):
I don't know, cheer Trader Road? Yeah? Yeah, all right, Patrick,
what's your coffee of? Of What do you do for
your coffee? Everybody? Hang on, hang hang on.
Speaker 9 (41:58):
Here's Patrick's answer.
Speaker 7 (41:59):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Double cappuccino, half calf, non fat milk with just enough
phone to be esthetically pleasing, but not so much that it.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Leaves in the spash. Is that right, Patrick?
Speaker 7 (42:08):
No, my sister, but not me. What is that from?
I recognize that Frazer?
Speaker 1 (42:13):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (42:13):
Yeah, yeah?
Speaker 3 (42:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (42:14):
Was that his sidekick buddy?
Speaker 3 (42:15):
His brother? Great?
Speaker 7 (42:17):
Yeah, I forgot yea brother, his sidekick buddy.
Speaker 12 (42:20):
Yeah, there's the dog too in the dead but no,
so my my coffee is, uh, it depends. It's one
of two. It's I do like the warm and I
do like an iced coffee. Now both of them are
pretty similar. I tend to go on the lighter side,
Like I like my coffee really really blonde and pretty
much as everybody says.
Speaker 7 (42:39):
Oh you hate coffee light roast, Yeah, and I like
it really sweet.
Speaker 12 (42:43):
Just you know, I'll put in like an Italian cream,
a sweet cream, or like a peppermint mocha and just
absolutely make it absolutely sweet because I don't like it
a bitter.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
I'm just I will say this. My old radio producer
Adam Klug, what up cougar? He had a great saying
about iced tea.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Which was plain, iced tea exists on this earth for
one reason. Do you guys know what That reason is?
To sweeten it, to be sweetened, right, And I.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Believe that black coffee exists for the same reason, right
to be sweetened. Like anybody's like, I just like black coffee.
No sugar, no cream, no nothing.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
Is that how you like it?
Speaker 9 (43:20):
I love yeah, if you make it the right way,
as it has plenty of taste and complex flavors and
even some sweetness.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Kind of enjoy the taste of asphalt. That's what it says.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Anyway, I think you go a little bit overboard, Patrick,
But it's also because you're young, and the older you get,
the less you sweetened. Or maybe you just go like
screw it that maybe when you get to your seventies
and you just throw like my mom's like six things
of sugar in there, like whatever.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
Anyway, you're allowed to do what you're allowed to do. Sam,
what's your coffee of the month? What do you for coffee?
Speaker 7 (43:54):
So I like a good medium roast. Lately I've been
buying this Levazza feto. Yeah, yeah, sure, h in it
I buy, you know, I buy. I have a coffee grinder,
but I buy a ground just to save a minute whatever.
And I do like the French press, and I like
drip coffee, but I have a little French press at home.
It makes a strong cup. You got like the sediment
(44:14):
in there, it's like kick, It adds a little extra punch.
It's a thick brew. It's a thick brew. And I
just put ether, you know, some two percent, some whole
milk or half and a half in there. No sugar.
I used to add sugar when I was younger. No
honey or anything, no mocha or you know, whatever, cinnamon,
whatever you might add in there.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
We got no sugar, no.
Speaker 7 (44:31):
Sugar, just just your standard cream in there. And I
want it to be just a little bit lighter brown
than what the coffee looks like originally. And I'm good
to go. And a lot of times I'll go over
to like Whole Foods, or I'll go over to you know,
seven eleven. Buy a cup of coffee. It's never quite
as the seven eleven stuff. It's never as strong as
like the Whole Foods. Are my own concoction at home,
but gets a job done. I'm not a fan of
(44:54):
like Folgers or Maxwell House. I hear those are grown
like a lower elevation or something. It's they're different, But
I like it right in the middle because a light roast,
I don't know if Patrick knows this, but a light
roast has more caffeine content in it, because that's less
the less that a bean, the less that, the lesser
than a bee. Am I even saying this right that
that a bean is roasted, it keeps a higher caffeine content.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
So dark it's an amazing how much we all know
about coffee. And then I was like, hey, tell me
about your taxes and the tax breaks you get, like
I I got someone else.
Speaker 3 (45:29):
I get somebody else to do that, like wait, wait,
that's your actual money.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Whereas the coffee, We're like, did you know did you
that the lighter roast is actually more cabinet?
Speaker 3 (45:37):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
And by the way, also, anything you hear from somebody
else about coffee, if you like it, everybody uses it. Right,
that's there are three hundred station that just became a
fact in everybody's mind that anytime you get questioned about
a lighter roast, like did you know light roast is
actually more caffeinated. I brought up this topic because it
is an amazing unifier. Right, it's an amazing unifier.
Speaker 7 (46:02):
Talk about yourselves coffee, right, what is the topic?
Speaker 3 (46:05):
Your favorite brew is?
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Melinda Richmond and I had one today that was I
never had before and I've had I feel like I've
had every kind of coffee, Like I I believe I
know what the greatest Starbucks order is. I'll share it
with you in a second. But I had at a
place Ocloba City a cold brew. I think it was
cold brew spritz is what it was called. Anyway, Basically
(46:29):
it was like club soda, and then.
Speaker 7 (46:32):
Cold brew happened at m interesting and.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Then I put a little cream in there and a
little simple syrup, and I'm it was fantastic On a
hot summer morning.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
I was like, this is amazing. Who thought of that?
Speaker 7 (46:44):
Getting that pep in your step?
Speaker 11 (46:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (46:46):
You heard of people putting coca cola in their coffee
or like you can actually buy I you think they
had a special coke put out like a coffee plus
coke combo that it kind of reminds me of that.
But carbonated seltzer water right called soda? Yeah, mixed with
cold brew? Yes, and then a couple of that's interesting.
It's a little cream, it's like a it's like a caffin,
it's like a coffee.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
Soada interesting. Yeah, it was really good. But I and
then my my like, huge is I have no use
your Now? I love my huge is? I have no use?
Are your usual? Yeah? Like I'm thinking about becoming a
self brew cold brew guy.
Speaker 7 (47:24):
That's not rocket fuel, man, That stuff's rocket fuel.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
Let me get this straight. Do you do a French
press or you just leave it like in a big
jug with beans overnight?
Speaker 3 (47:33):
Is that what you do? Know?
Speaker 7 (47:33):
I do the French press, so I put the little
ground to the bottom, hot one on top, mix it
after a few minutes. Then no, but I'm mistaking a.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
Cold brew like a cold don't you leave it overnight
and it soaks?
Speaker 7 (47:43):
Oh, I just buy the cold brew.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
Yeah, somebody, I know what you do to make the
cold brew at home?
Speaker 12 (47:48):
You know?
Speaker 7 (47:49):
I don't. It's always like more concentrated and more potent.
I don't know, like how you make cold brew. I
really don't. I really don't know, but I always know
that it's like it's just more potent and powerful. When
I drink it, I'm like I'm gliding across the sky
after I have a cold brew. I don't know, Isaac,
do you know anything about coldbrew? Isaac?
Speaker 9 (48:07):
I'd buy it for my wife all the time, but
that's the extent.
Speaker 7 (48:10):
Some people make it their own, but we usually just
buy it like in a can or a bottle, like
one single serving, ready to go, and uh yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
Mean I definitely feel wasteful, There's no question. I feel
wasteful as hell going to buy colbrew, like, dude, like
this one, I could have made it home.
Speaker 9 (48:25):
Now what's your routine though, because you live out on
a out on the lake, right, I mean, do you do.
Speaker 3 (48:29):
You what I do? Get? Ah, I have a I
have one of those Ninja coffee makers. Oh nice, it's great.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
And so what I do is I make it's like
a it's like a double pull of espresso, and then
I foam a little cream with just like a little
bit of like flavored oat milk, just for a little
bit of something. And then I have my first cup
there with my dogs, and then it begins a series
(49:00):
of different coffees throughout the day.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
I love coffee.
Speaker 7 (49:04):
How many would you say? Three eight eight ounce servings?
You three a day?
Speaker 12 (49:09):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (49:10):
Eight ounce serving?
Speaker 7 (49:11):
Well, like just your normal whatever, a six ounce serving
eight ounce serving coffee eight.
Speaker 3 (49:15):
Ounce to start the day.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
And then usually I'll have or somebody will buy me
or we'll go get a cole Brew at some point
in time, and then usually come like mid radio show,
there'll be another one. If I haven't worked my way
to Arnold Palmer's. Like I literally go coffee until like
a certain point and then I.
Speaker 3 (49:36):
Go Arnold Palmer's.
Speaker 5 (49:37):
You know.
Speaker 9 (49:37):
My theory is that coffee is the best legal performance
enhancing substance there is anywhere, because if I came in
here without having had my coffee, I would sounding my gosh,
because that's my baseline state. When you guys hear me,
(49:59):
it's always caffeine fueled. And I think for what we do,
for what a lot of people do, maybe it's a
placebo effect for me, but I think it just makes
you generally sharper and more energetic.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
All right, share us with us, your your coffee routine.
And if you're like a I don't like coffee, okay,
you're that guy. That's fine, but you don't have to
brag about being I got something specially about being the guy. Well,
I say six dollars a day because I don't like Okay,
you don't have to spend six dollars that you can
brew it at home as Ilo does. I'm just surprised
that Isaac doesn't brew his on his neighbor's machine with
his neighbors beings.
Speaker 7 (50:32):
I didn't say that, I didn't do that. So are
we all properly for clemps?
Speaker 9 (50:37):
Now?
Speaker 3 (50:38):
Yes we are.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
That's midway the midway coming to next to the Doug
Gottleeb Show, Will Alabama be back, and what about the
pressure on Texas? Plus Mark Medina ways in on the
latest with the Lakers. Wait, do you hear what Marcus
Smart said was the tipping point why he wanted to
(50:59):
become a lake. That's text the Doug Gottlieb Show. But first, ooh,
my sleep number setting is forty five, So what's that mean? Okay,
zero is the softest think of. I don't know that
kid in middle school's waterbed, right, remember that? Hey, and
one hundred is the firmest. I thought I was a
firm guy went into a Sleep number store, laid on
(51:20):
all the mattresses and they showed me just the right
mattress based upon pressure points in my back.
Speaker 3 (51:25):
And just the right setting. It's forty five. It's right
in the middle.
Speaker 1 (51:28):

(00:23):
Sports Radio. Interesting location Today we'll discuss I'm actually a river.
I'm beside a river or a canal in Bricktown and
Oklahoma City, home of your NBA champions It does it?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Just it.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Let's just be honest. It feels weird. It feels weird
to say, Hey, the NBA Championship. NBA team is in
Oklahoma City, but I want to talk a lot of
college football here. To start the show, my good friend
Mark Rogers, who's was my co host in oklah the
city almost twenty five years ago. He's gonna pop on
(01:04):
with us here in ten minutes and before we get
to Benvolin as we get ready to talk some NFL
football Packers camp. Other camps have already opened up. Some
camps open today, I do want to talk some college football.
And look, I'm a college basketball coach, so I'm not
gonna say I know where all the bodies are buried.
(01:25):
But now a full year into it, I learn every
day about how things work or are working or will
work in this new window of college athletics. And I
thought I heard a quote. I heard a quote from
Mike Losley. Mike Losley is the head coach at Maryland,
(01:51):
and he was He's from d c's from the DMV originally,
and so as a guy who cut his chops as
an elite recruiter at Alabama, at Illinois, at Florida, and
previously at Maryland when Ralph Frigian was there, he has
(02:13):
done a tremendous job on paper of recruiting better talent
at Maryland than anyone since they've joined the joined the
Big Ten. Okay again, it's all relatives.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Now. They have not won, and.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's very easy to go Hey, let's look at his
head coaching record. He was two and twenty six at
New Mexico. So yeah, maybe the guy can't coach. But
if you look at Maryland the two years previous to
this to last year, he won eight games to eight
games seven games year before that, they seemingly had turned
the tide last year.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Four and eight.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So I want you to take a listen to this
quote and then I'll kind of expound upon it because
it's very, very interesting this new in college athletics and
how coaches across the landscape of college football and college
basketball talking and we all have different ways in which
we want to tack the same problem. But here's Locksley again,
(03:11):
head coach and Marylynd coming off to two straight eight
win seasons, discussing what happened in his disappointing year last year.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
This for me is kind of a year of what
I like to call vulnerability. One of the greatest characteristics
you can have as a leader is the ability to
be vulnerable. And I'll tell you a year ago, coach
locks lost his locker room. And for me to stand
in front of a group of media and tell you
that I lost my locker room, and it wasn't because
I wasn't a good coach. It wasn't because they weren't
good players. Because we were better than a four win team.
(03:42):
But what we have to do is we had haves
and have nots. For the first time in our locker
room and the landscape of college football taught me a
valuable lesson, and that valuable lesson is important for me,
even in the midst of this change, to continue to
educate our players on the importance of what playing for
something bigger than yourself is all about. And I can
(04:03):
tell you that if I've got to put my desk
in the locker room this year, I will, and I
expect our team to show up, play hard.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And probably one of the.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Most exciting things is if you ask me what kind
of team we have, I don't know yet.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And that's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
And that's a good thing because as a coach sometimes
we feel like we have to have that answer.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Well, I've got fall camp.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I've got about twenty five practices in July and August
to figure it out and feel very confident with the
changes and the elevation.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Of our program that we'll.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Put a product on the field that we can all
be really excited about.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Listen, I understand that we all love We talked about
this yesterday Lindy's Athlon, you know, you name it, the
preview magazine that we've always picked up like I am, Yeah,
I'm a college basketball coach, and yeah, I was a
professional basketball player after being a college basketball player, and
(04:58):
I've been and I worked at ESPN for a decade,
and I worked for CBS for a half decade, and
this is my eighth year at Fox. So I think
people think that there's some secret website we go to
and there are some pretty good ones, or there's some
secret hand booklet handout that gives us all the information
(05:20):
or that. And you know, you try and talk to
as many college coaches, basketball, football, NFL people as possible,
and you do, and I can get more information than
you can get because of the jobs that I've had
over the past twenty plus years. But the reality is,
I'm a sports fan just like you are. I picked
up all these magazines anytime I've been flying, and this
(05:42):
year they're completely worthless, completely worthless, because everybody's got a
whole new team year after year. The old days of
a I saw this kid played a little bit as
a freshman, play a little bit more as a sophomore.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
As a junior, he started to come on.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Now he's a senior, and I think he's going to
have a huge senior year Like that just doesn't usually
happen anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
It just doesn't.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I'm not saying unequivocally it doesn't happen anywhere, but it
is a rarity as opposed to that's how it used
to happen at most places. And then you throw in
the money factor, which you could sit there and go like, well, hey,
they need to learn to deal with it. Coaches need
to learn to figure it out. But I mean, at
your own place of work, if you think that you're
(06:32):
better than a guy is making more money than you are, are.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You going to be happy about it? Right? Are you?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
And most people would tell you, like I want the
company to be successful. I want, But in reality, any
group project you put in on, if you're making the
most money, you got to do the most work.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
But that doesn't always happen.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I just we have thrown in a additional adult problem
into a kid's game. And then you throw in the
idea that you can go and chase something year after
year like that's going to fix your problem. Only makes
it worse. I just fascinated by it. Mike Loxley, like,
(07:19):
I never would say that. Also, I don't think it
was true even in my first year. But it's the
thing that you worry about the most, is am I
going to lose the locker room? And saying you lost
the locker room and saying it's because of you know,
guys worrying about what somebody else is getting paid, or
worried about where that what they can get paid elsewhere,
(07:39):
or I'm sure he's had guys shut it down like
that's the ultimate nightmare. In college athletics and losing a
locker room has always been a part of sport.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
You can drop all the pretty plays, you give, all
the impassion speeches, but if they're not listening, if they
don't try and do what you want them to do,
all the preparation you have that doesn't actually matter. And
you know, I was hopped on a local show here
in Oklahoma City and I said, Hey, if you do
a show in any college market in the country, everyone's
(08:15):
going to say, man, we had a good year in
the portal.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
We got this guy, we got that guy.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Now, the difference in that and recruiting back ten years
ago is there was the assumption that if you get
a guy in recruiting, he's a freshman, maybe he plays
a little bit. Maybe one freshman breaks through and plays
a lot, but for the most part, your expectations, especially
in football, are not great for freshmen in the portal.
(08:40):
If you get a guy and he's highly touted and
he's in the portal and you pay a bunch of money,
he's supposed to perform, and if he doesn't perform, it's
going to be the coach's fault.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's going to be that player's fault.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It's going to be very different, and there's not the
grace given as I think Mike Loxley smartly.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
But like, I don't know what we got. It's like
I got twenty five practices.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You really get fifteen padded practices before they play a
college football game.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
It's crazy. It's crazy, and team.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Sports don't operate in a quick bake oven, but apparently
they have to. And I just I heard that sound
and I thought, yeah, it was pretty brave of Mike Loxley.
It does explain a lot for what happened to the Terps,
where generally he's a beloved guy that the players. You
feel like, the players fight like hell for why did
that not happen last year? And it's a snapshot of
(09:36):
the challenges of this college landscape moving forward. Okay, coming
up next to the Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox
Sports Radio. My good friend Mark Rodgers has been my
partner works in Oklahoma City. Right, we'll get Ben Bollin
on as well, but we'll get Mark Rogers on here,
and we'll ask Kim okay sec Ken Oklahoma one of
(10:01):
historically great college football programs in the country.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Can they compete atop the SEC? Can they?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I don't know the answer to it. Maybe he does, Okay,
maybe he does. That's upcoming next. But first, you know,
I'm on the road and all I can think of
is home, right, not just because my dogs are there,
because my sleep number is there.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
And you think about wherever you are as hot as
it is. What if you had a bond.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
What if you had a bed that features cooling layers
and for soothing the sleep throughout the night? You know,
what if you had micro climate tempts before and after
activating max cooling from the Climate TM series in the
you know, which is just phenomenal. Why should you choose
a sleep number smart bed so you can sleep the
(10:55):
way you like, the only bed that lets you make
each side firmer or softer whenever you like. If your
sleep number setting and now I'll save up to eight
hundred dollars on the select sleep Number smart beets for
limited time, exclusively at sleep Number stores or sleep number
dot com.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Stug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. Ben Vollen'll join us
upcoming in ten minutes. We'll get his thoughts on training
Camp says they open figure out what the Bengers are
gonna do about Trey Hendrickson, if if Tyreek Hill can
make nice with to a tongue of lots of stuff
to get to. But first I want to welcome in
(12:47):
dear friend of mine and also a guy who's my
original radio co host in Oklahma City, hosts his own
show in Oklahma City. He is the one and only
Mark Rogers, and Mark I brought you on because last
year before the season began, I said, I thought Oklahoma
was one of the most fascinating college twell programs in
the country, and people weren't really talking about them because
(13:10):
we talk about, you know, the top four or five teams, right,
but Ou has been historically unbelievably successful, not just in
the Stoops era but also you kind of yeah and beyond,
but also you go back to when you know the
King fifties coach. Yeah, right, you go back to the fifties, right,
same thing. So my question is what's the state of
(13:31):
the state now for Oklahoma foo. I think they made
some changes.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
They brought in Jim Naggy, who was the director of
the Senior Bowl and has all kinds of scouting contacts
that really helped them get Jade Not who's one of
the two players that they have that are projected to
be on the All SEC first or second team. So
they've turned it around a little bit in dealing with
the new era of college football. They're pretty talented. John
Mattier is going to be a deal. I mean, he
was a stud at Washington State with Ben Arbuckle in
(13:55):
that offense last year, they didn't have any direction on
offense and it looked bad because they had no wide
receivers from week to week, shoddy offensive line, and so
now I think they've got a plan and Materier is
going to be really good. How does that translate in
the SEC where basically every week is a toss up?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
But last year it was Jackson Arnold is gonna be
the next right, yeah right. It lasted for not that
long two and a half weeks, but you can see
they had nothing around him.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
They had no wide receivers from week to week.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
If you go at the beginning of the season the
preseason depth chart, I mean their best wide receiver was
a walk on from South Lake, carol Why at times
they had no one play it was injuries, recruiting, I
think development on the offensive line was a concern. But
they went out and they've got two freshmen, one that
was a five star that they think will be rotational
players this year that can kind of grow along some
(14:44):
older players. They've got a starting left tackle that came
in from Western Carolina that they feel like will be
in upgrade.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So it's one to say and look, I'm smiling because
I'm living this life, right, and it's like, well, what
is he like when he gets here and there is
like Oklahoma playing the SEC is the absolute top of
college football, and so it's like, all right, he see
West of Carolina. He may be awesome and maybe he's capable,
but in the SEC, he's going against a pro every
(15:15):
time he puts his hand down in the dirt.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Correct. Yeah, But there's other teams that are going through
some of the same type.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
They're all going through the same Alabama has a really
good offensive line. Texas, A and M may have the
best offensive line in the SEC. Coming back, Oh, you's
going to present some problems to other teams on that
side of the football as well.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Now on defense, they got some dudes.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
I mean, they've got guys that I think are going
to play on Sundays, which they haven't had.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I mean, if you go throughout the Bob Stoops tenure.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
At Oklahoma, there were some years that they had draft
picks like Ohio State has had in the last couple
of years. Question, they haven't had that recently. They just
haven't had the talent. So I mean, can matiir be
this type of quarterback flux of funds? Is that how
they did it?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (15:51):
No, I think some is that they took him a
while to get things figured out. They weren't Texas Tech.
They didn't want to be. They thought that was kind
of considered cheating the way that that was done. They
didn't embrace paying players right away.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
So it took some time.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
And I think Brent Ventables is learning as he goes
along as a head coach. He loves coordinating defenses. That's
what he loves. He's gonna do it this year, but
being the head coach, he kind of have to take
away from that focus and be more of an administrator overall.
So the jury's still out on that. I mean, if
this year doesn't get to end, I think they want
(16:26):
to keep him. This is in a situation where they're like, yeah,
we want to get rid of him because he's got
a pretty big buyout of.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Time at it. But you also have a new ad coming.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
Yeah, they need to He needs to win I think
seven or there's gonna be a lot of pressure on
him because.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
The hype, if you have a chance to listener run here.
The hype is building.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
And I don't I'm not necessarily buying into the hype completely,
but the hype is building for them to have a
chance to compete to be a factor in the SEC race.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I just I don't think. I don't Maybe they don't care.
I don't think they understand the difference in the conference.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I just don't. I just think we're Oklahoma. We win
ten games the year, and that's that.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And I'm not going to say never, but the likelihood
of winning ten games, You'll have a year here or there.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
But it's so so difficult.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
Their schedule last year featured Missouri and Ole Miss in
years in which they may have had the best teams
at those schools in a long time. I think they
take a step back this year, and they're both in Norman,
so you want to try to win those games. They
beat Auburn on the road last year in a game
that could have gone either way. They played them at home,
so there's a shot for them to win a few
more than they did a year ago when they got six.
(17:38):
They also now add in Michigan, which is going to
be a heck of a game the beginning of the season.
But Michigan's bring in a freshman quarterback in against a
good defense and rent venable scheme defense, and so people
feel pretty good about that matchup and the line is
moving OUs way in that one too.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It really is amazing, though, how everybody thinks they know
and you have no idea, whereas for our entire lifetime,
our entire lifetime, you could have you couldn't say, you
couldn't pick what the schedule is.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
But when the schedule had.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Come out, you go like, all right, well they're going
to win that one now, and that and that and
that one. They just got better players right now, you
don't know. But then you're in the sec when everybody
thinks they got played. It is OU football.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
So even if OU was three and nine last year,
everybody's gonna talk themselves into thinking it's a nine and
three or ten and two season. That's the way it
happens every year, no matter what happened the year before.
Was the way it was when they were down in
the nineties when John Blake was the head coach. Oh well,
we have talent, they're just gonna, you know, just some
bad breaks, and so they've been spoiled for a long
period of time.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Here. What do you think why did the Big twelve
turn down Memphis?
Speaker 8 (18:36):
Do you think it was that they didn't want to
set the precedent of taking that kind of cash.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
I mean you and Mark acc did that for SMU. Right, Well,
SMU you said about being Berett You or Mark, you
guys are good friends. I think he's a great commissioner.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
I mean the one of the quotes that I saw,
Yeah who Sports had that said we vetted them once,
we're not We're not coming back just because they're going
to commit two hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
So I think that that kind of spoke volumes.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
SMU probably considers itself a little bit more of an
elite school than Memphis.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
No question they are, but it's it is about their money,
and Memphis does have some money.
Speaker 8 (19:12):
You'd have to add another team. You can't have an
odd number of football teams. You could do it in basketball,
but why can't shoot a football you have? You got
to have a team off every week. I think it's
got to be that they think the ACC is going
to collapse. It's got to be right, and you got
to have it the proper number of seats. You got
to have a plan.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I'm sure Florida State's part of the plan, in Virginia
Tech's part of the plan. And I don't know what
else because that makes sense, right, you had Florida State
and Virginia Tech, and now Central Florida has a travel partner,
and West Virginia has a travel partner, and then you
kind of figure figure out the rest.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
I would think if the if the ACC would collapse,
that it would just be natural that Clemson and Florida
State would be in the SEC and you would have
North Carolina Virginia go to the Big Ten. If they
want to add those teams, they could probably bring revenue
in that would help those leagues in TV.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Feels like there's a plan. My thing is, it feels
like there's a plan there that everybody has that we
don't know what the like like this is. You know,
people say the NFL is scripted, like there's a script
to this thing. Like you said, it makes complete sense
North Carolina probably do cast to go to the You
has to go with them to the Big Ten. Yeah, right,
Well credits that to the Memphis president for coming up
with this plan. I mean, that's a great idea and
(20:17):
the people that we're going to back it to bring
relevance to that's sports and athletic program the university.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
That's a baller move to me. I don't know if
I was a Big twelve. I don't know all the details,
but I probably would thought.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
About, Yeah, I'm two hundred million dollars or too. It
was fifty, right, yeah, two fifty. Big Bread was coming
up later on it said two to fifty.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
That's a lot of it. That's a that's a that's
a lot of money. Lastly, Mile Mote Oklahoma State. Yeah,
sixty five new guys.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
It's more than that.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
There are players that I think can start on that
team that have not practiced for Oklahoma State and official
capacity that they came in after spring, but.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
The boys from Oklahoma Concert gave him some money.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
I mean, they've been able to spread some money out
there and find some guys from They took advantage of
the fact that SEC would not accept SEC transfers after
the spring portal, and they've got some players from the
SEC that have come in.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
And I think Mike Gundy's staff is really rejuvenated.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
They had been complacent for a while and so they're
working harder than they have in a long time. Their
schedule at the beginning of the season, they got three
out of four of their games in the Big Twelve
at home. They go to Arizona those are games that
they need to win because it gets tougher on the
back end. But Mike Gundy has had two losing seasons
at Oklahoma State, his first in his last. He's always
(21:33):
better when he's not expected to do well. And so
I think they're gonna five and a half sir win total.
I think they go over that.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
He's Mark Rogers, he's my dear friend, my former radio
co host, and of course you can hear him in
Oklahoma City.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Thanks so much. Mark.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Let me get you to Isaac Long Crime and get
a quick update before we touch some NFL football.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Ilo. Thanks Doug.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
Today, Miami Dolphins quarterback to a tongue of ilo and
described our receiver Tyreek Hill is working to rebuild relationships
with his teammates after critical comments that he'll made at
the end of last.
Speaker 10 (22:00):
When you say something like that, you don't just come
back from that with hey, my bad. No, you got
to work that relationship up. You got to build everything
up again. And it's still a work in progress, not
just for me but for everybody. He's working on himself.
He's working on the things that he say. You know,
he says he wants to get better with that's the
first step to me, and so I commend him for
doing that.
Speaker 9 (22:18):
Meanwhile, NFL media reported Dolphins cornerback Already Burns is feared
to have suffered a torn acl today at practice. In
Major League Baseball today, Rafael Devers hit two home runs
of the San Francisco Giants nine to three victory at Atlanta,
as Justin Verlander at long last, got his first victory
of the season after starting to eight. Cincinnati wanted Washington
(22:40):
five nothing. The Reds Nick Lidolo a complete game, four
hit shut out with eight strikeouts and no walks, Pirates
over the Tigers six to one by the Spencer Horwitz
grand slam. Right now, the Mets on top of the
Angels six to three, top of the eighth, Kansas City
of four to two lead over the Cubs after four
at Wrigley and at Corsfield, the Rockies and Cardinals just
underway no score in the top of the second.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Doug stug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. All right, we
turned from college football. Let's talk to NFL football, shall we?
As Our good friend Ben Bolden joins us senior NFL
writer for The Boston Globe, and Ben Let's start with
the Patriots, a team that when you and I first
met that so you were covering for the Globe and
then of course has expanded to now the entire National
(23:23):
Football League. They go out and get a head coach
that I think everybody respects. But what is the right
what's the right perception to have of where this franchise
is in terms of their level of competitiveness in that
AFC East.
Speaker 11 (23:39):
Yeah, I think the Patriots entered the season with credibility,
and it's been a few years since you've been able
to say that about this team for the first time
in several years. There's not anything about this team that
really leaves you scratching your head. Like one year it
was they put Matt Patricia and Joe Judge in charge
of the offense, and then the other years they did
(23:59):
nothing to the roster even though they had significant issues.
Last year they put you Odd Mayo in charge of
the team even though he had no experience. This year,
everything makes sense. You can see the plan and how
it's going to unfold. They've got a very experienced coaching staff,
a competent coaching staff led by Mike Rabel, Josh McDaniels.
They have several guys who have been head coaches, like
(24:21):
Doug maroone Thomas Brown who was with the Bears last year.
So they have a very experienced staff, guys who have
done their roles before. They have a young quarterback in
Drake May who does have a lot to prove, but
I think last year showed that he's he's a good athlete,
he can he definitely belongs in the NFL. And the
Patriots have a I think a good young quarterback, and
(24:42):
then they went out in free agency and spent a
lot of money on quality players like Milton Williams from
the Eagles, Stefan Diggs coming back from his torn ACL
They beat up the offensive line, so you know, I
still think their ceiling is kind of limited. This is
probably a team that, if everything goes their way, that
you know, probably a Tendance Evan team. But there's just
(25:02):
there's so much more competent and you can see the
plan now, and you know the signs are are finally
pointing up in Foxborough after several head scratching years.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Here, uh Tua talked about Tyreek Hill kind of making
amends with teammates. That sounds good, but those quotes kind
of live forever. Uh, what's the likelihood that it becomes
Kumbai in Miami?
Speaker 11 (25:32):
I don't think very good. I think the owner really
should have taken a harder look about making a you know,
a total reset this offseason with head coach Mike Kataniel
and GM Chris Greer. That culture is a mess you had.
I think it was Bradley Chubb a few weeks ago
was talking about, yeah, you know, we're all in this year.
You know, we said that last year, but we were lying,
(25:53):
you know, we were we were just giving you lip service.
It's like, well, that's not that's not a good sign.
That's not certainly not good for the co which that
his players are just giving lip service about being all in.
And when when you have a team led by when
Tyreek Kill is one of your leaders, like that's never
been I don't think his strong suit leading by example.
And I thought today he Tua had a quote that
(26:13):
said his relationship with Tyreek Kill is still a work
in progress, which is like wow, I mean they've been
together three years now, four years, Like, how how could
it possibly still be a work in progress? So there's
I just think there's a lot of dysfunction in Miami
right now, that team hasn't been very disciplined. They never
win in December, they never win cold weather games, they
never beat playoff teams, and Mike McDaniel's just I don't
(26:37):
think been able to instill much discipline in that locker room.
So you know, with Tyreek Hill, he's saying all the
right things now, but we've we've heard that from the
Dolphins before. This is a team that if they don't
have a good start, things could implode very quickly down
in Miami.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Since that does that Trey Hendrickson, they also don't have
their first round pick. You know the what ends up
happening with the Bengals.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
I mean, I think both get resolved eventually, but it's
like this franchise continues to break new ground in dysfunction.
I mean, the whole purpose of this CBA was to
avoid player holdouts, but like count on the Bengals, they
managed to get it gone with Shamar Stewart, who just
wants to sign the same contract that the Bengals have
signed every other draft kick over the years.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Too.
Speaker 11 (27:22):
But the Bengals are the ones insisting on changing the language,
and they're they're holding firm and so is Shamar Stewart,
and I think Stewart would be crazy to like continue
holding out much longer. He probably just has to bite
his lip and accept it. But the Bengals always play hardball,
always seem to kick off their players. They did last
(27:43):
year with Chase and t Higgins. They played hardball with them,
didn't give them the contracts that those guys deserve. It's
spoiled training camp for them. The Bengals started the season
like oh and two, one and four whatever it was.
They lost to the Patriots which cost them the playoffs,
and now here they are again with Trey Hendrickson and
Shamar Stewart doing the same thing, and Mike Brown, the owner,
(28:05):
is talking to the press and just totally blaming the
agents and putting all the owners on the player's side.
So you know, it's just classic Bengals, the team where
Carson Palmer threatened to retire he did retire instead of
continuing to play for them. They're up to it again
now with these contraction inagains, and it'll eventually get resolved.
I don't think Trey Hendrickson will get traded, but the
(28:27):
Bengals are just always causing problems with their players.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Is this the year that the league catches up to
the Chiefs.
Speaker 11 (28:36):
No, I don't think so. I'd be worried that the
Chiefs got humiliated in the Super Bowl, and now, you know,
I think they're going to beef up their offensive line,
They're going to try to get more weapons for Patrick Mahomes.
I think it might be the opposite. I'd be afraid
of the Chiefs coming back with a vengeance. Now, you know,
Travis kelt Is, you know, starting to get to the
(28:57):
end of his career and he's been such a big
part of that dynasty. You know, we'll see if they
can kind of continue to be such a dominant team
without them. But when you've got Mahomes and you've got
Andy Reid and you still have Thief Spagnola running the defense,
I'm sorry, the Chiefs aren't going anywhere this year. There's
still going to be a wagon And I'd be afraid
that they got us humiliated so badly in the Super
(29:17):
Bowl that they address their needs in the offseason and
they're going to come back with the vengeans this year.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Ben Johnson said that he wants Caleb Williams to complete
seventy percent of his passes. Now, that sounds great, sounds great.
It does sound like dink and dunk. And last year
he didn't throw the ball downfield almost at all, and
it feels like, you know, sometimes in order to get
to that seventy percent, you're going to hold on the
ball and eat the ball instead of run the risk
(29:46):
of throwing incomplete passes. What's your thoughts on a first
time head coach talking about completion percentages so openly.
Speaker 11 (29:56):
Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more. I think it's
one of the most overrated that's that a quarterback can have,
because yeah, is it just a bunch of screen passes
and dank and dunk, Like I don't care if you're
completing seventy percent of passes, if you're not pushing the
ball down the field, tell me what his yards per
a tenth are. That's to me the real stat how
often are you getting the ball downfield and creating big
plays in the passing game? And you know, I think
(30:20):
raining Caleb Williams in is an important function for Ben
Johnson because I think Caleb Williams likes to take too
many chances and he throws off platform and he gets
himself in trouble sometimes, so it is good to rain
him in and focus maybe on safer throws. But I really,
you know, seventy percent great, whoop do you do? But
all that really matters is are you getting the ball
(30:42):
down field? And so you know that's going to be
the real key for Caleb Williams. Not as he completing passes,
but are they putting points on the board? And I
mean seventy four thousand yards those are all benchmarks that
no Bears quarterback has ever sniffed. So it would be
a record setting year for the Bears if if Caleb
Williams can get there, and he's got the talent, but
(31:04):
after that rookie year, I mean, I think he's got
a ways to go behind Drake May and obviously behind
Jayden Daniels for Caleb Williams to prove that that he
belongs in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Okay, let me ask you a question that some Packer
fans ask me. How good actually is Jordan Love?
Speaker 11 (31:21):
You know, I think he's good enough that the Packers
are ready to make some noise. He's made the playoffs
both of his years. He had a nice little run
two years ago. You know, want a road playoff game
or two. So I think Jordan Love is the answer
for the Packers. He can I mean, this guy can
light it up, you know, the great tradition of Packers quarterbacks.
(31:44):
I think this is this is gonna be a good
I sense this being the year, you know, for the Packers.
I don't know how deep to ultimately get, but like
I could see Detroit taking a step back with all
the changes they made in our coaching staff, especially in
an offense. You know, the Vikings will see what they are.
I love Kevin O'Connell as a coach, but now that
they're turning the team over to CJ. McCarthy, they're kind
(32:06):
of an unknown. Whereas Jordan Love, now this is his
third year entering as the starting quarterback. Him and Matt Lafleur,
I got to think are on a pretty good page. Yeah,
maybe he throws a few too many interceptions, but Jordan Love,
I think has really developed into a nice passer. And
with where the Packers are as an organization compared to
everyone else in their vision, I think this could be
(32:27):
a good year for the Packers coming up.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Who are we not talking about that we should be
in terms of this is a playoff team. This is
a I don't know, you want to say Super Bowl contender,
Like we always hyper focus on a couple of teams.
Cowboys are example of we always hyper focus on them, right.
We hyper focus on teams who are at the top
last year and the Chiefs I think deserved that focus
because the consistency of success.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Who are we not focusing on enough?
Speaker 11 (32:54):
So I really like the Rams this year. Even though
Matthew Stafford is like the oldest thirty seven year old
on the planet, I still think he's a top eight
NFL quarterback, McVeigh the heck of a coach. These young
guys like Jared Vers on defense are a year older now.
So I really like the Rams this year. And honestly,
if it wasn't snowing in that playoff game against the Ego,
if I think the Rams may have won that game.
(33:16):
So I do like the Rams. In the NFC AFC,
it does kind of feel like the Ravens like they're due.
I mean people are talking about the Ravens, so they're
not under the radar. The two teams in the AFC West,
the Chargers year two under Hardball and the Broncos Year
three under Sean Payton. That's a loaded division and the Broncos.
You know, bo Nick had a great rookie year. Now
(33:39):
you know he's going to be a year more into it.
Sean Payton proving once again he's just an incredible offensive
mind and quarterback hooter. The Broncos have an outstanding defense,
one of the best in the league. I think the
Denver Broncos are definitely you know, they're a team that's
been kind of dormant the last half decade or so.
Haven't heard much from the Broncos, but I think Sean
Payton's team is going to be a real problem and
(34:00):
make some noise here.
Speaker 1 (34:01):

(35:43):
you're having a great day. We're actually live outside the
river Walk in Oklahoma City where the NBA champions side.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
So interesting. Yeah, I was trying around this morning.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I was like, NBA champions are here, whereas like you know,
if you're in LA, people kind of freaking out, run
up and down the streets.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Now like, yeah, we'll win one next year.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
The favorites again, got a lot to get to this hour,
including our good friend Mark Medina will join us. He's
our Fox Sports Radio NBA insider. We'll talk about some
of the movement in the league. And Brett McMurphy will
also join us, as I just again, I want to
wet your appetite every day with a little college football
talk here on the Doug Gottlib Show on Fox Sports Radio,
(36:27):
including I gotta ask Brett, like Alabama gotta be some
pressure to take another step take a step back atop
the SEC this year, especially with how it ended not
getting the College Fall playoff, and then there's the rumors
of hey, maybe Nick Saban would come back and coach again.
(36:48):
Is that actually true. We'll get to that upcoming in
about about twenty minutes. But we do this every Wednesday.
Wednesday is the middle of the week. We do an
hour pod before the show drops, after the show. It's
a three hour run, middle of the day, middle of
the week, middle of the show.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
We call it the Midway. It's not getting the middle,
it's time for the Midway. Okay, guys.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Usually I take your feedback on the Midway, right Patrick,
you're sitting in Jay Stews's chair.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
I loo, you've done this before.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Obviously, Sam, you're you're a constant here on the show,
and so Sam, I do appreciate your idea of doing
the Midway on what your own team when it bottom's
out right.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
Well, yeah, I had this idea. Dave Roberts was talking
about how we're kind of at rock bottom here, notable
times that our teams have bottomed out on or off
the field. But we're gonna save that for another time
because you, uh, you wanted to get something uh, you
wanted to get to something else, maybe more of the
liquid of variety.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Yeah, and no, it's we'll do a beer one at
some point here. Getting ready for the football season we do.
I wanted to do an overall coffee discussion.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Woo woo.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
No, because there are things that have changed in our society,
right like uh, and I'm Ilo, You and I will
connect on this where you think you're younger than me
but about but close to the same age, Samuel a
little younger than me.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Obviously, Patrick your way, you are your name.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
But it's the idea of when when we were kids,
we didn't go out as much, and when you did,
if you were going to go watch sports on TV,
it was almost always with your youth team. And then
it was also to eat pizza, whereas now like wings
are probably the wings that become bigger than pizza. I
think could be wrong in terms of gathering to watch sports,
(38:43):
Like wings weren't that big a thing in the eighties
and nineties. They just weren't.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Right, And coffee has Coffee is now what soft drinks
used to be.
Speaker 5 (38:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Soft drinks used to be used to stop somewhere and
get it and get a big gulp, all right, seven
eleven you get big up. Now you stop somewhere and
you get a coffee iced coffee latte, very customizable, correct,
So I wanted to have the complete coffee discussion.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Right, let's start with and I have pre streamed you guys.
All of you are coffee drinkers, correct, So like I
lo you, you bring your own.
Speaker 9 (39:20):
From home, Sam, you want to handle this one on
my behalf.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
I describe what you're saying, right, Isak. It's a fancy man.
He's got a little coffee cuff and a saucer, a
porcelain saucer, porcelain coffee cup. And it's not a normal
sized coffee cup. It's like it's a cappuccino. It's a cappuccino.
So it's very dainty. Not saying you're dainty, Isaac, but
it's a fancy, dainty little cup. And you look very
British drinking out of it like you'd be drinking your
(39:46):
afternoon tea. But I really respect that because I've brought
in porcelain mugs before because I just maybe like I
don't want to drink out of styrofolm today. So yes,
Isaac is pro coffee. I'm I don't know about Patrick though,
I'm pro coffee.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
What about you appreciating Kat Patrick?
Speaker 1 (40:00):
He's a coffee Oh yeah wait wait, so wait, Ilo,
you you bring it from home.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Yeah, it's your home. What's your home brewing technique? Though,
by the way, whole brew at home? So i'mor you
perk drip French press, what do you do?
Speaker 9 (40:15):
I'm a huge snob. So if anybody has a problem
with this. At Isaac lohen Kron on social media, I
have just a simple drip machine.
Speaker 7 (40:28):
But you're talking about with the paper filter in the ground.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Very simple.
Speaker 9 (40:33):
I grind my own beans. I don't get pre ground coffee.
It's freshly ground and then it goes right into the
thermost to keep it at its peak taste. And I
only have my coffee black, no cream, no sugar, no
crap because there's a difference between coffee and coffee drinks. Now,
if you grind your own beans and make it the
(40:54):
right way, it tastes so good you don't need any
of that other crap. Again, if anybody out there.
Speaker 7 (40:58):
Has a problem with it, crap is halfway beans.
Speaker 11 (41:01):
You know what.
Speaker 9 (41:02):
I don't get these fruit fruit beans. I think if
your technique is good, when you're Isaac wah and grons,
you can get average beans at the grocery store like
I get the average beans at Trader Joe's.
Speaker 7 (41:16):
Medium meat right in the middle.
Speaker 9 (41:19):
But with my skill, I can make them a lot
better than most people can make. These fruit fru twenty
two dollars bag beans that were roasted ten minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
He does sound like somebody who shops Trader Joe's, right,
he just does. He nailed it. Thanks youself as the
Trader Joe's shop.
Speaker 7 (41:35):
Put good quality products out there.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
I will say trade, but let's let's not go crazy, right.
I still like cheerios, not cheery What do they call it,
the ros Trader row?
Speaker 3 (41:47):
I don't know, cheer Trader Road? Yeah? Yeah, all right, Patrick,
what's your coffee of? Of What do you do for
your coffee? Everybody? Hang on, hang hang on.
Speaker 9 (41:58):
Here's Patrick's answer.
Speaker 7 (41:59):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Double cappuccino, half calf, non fat milk with just enough
phone to be esthetically pleasing, but not so much that it.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Leaves in the spash. Is that right, Patrick?
Speaker 7 (42:08):
No, my sister, but not me. What is that from?
I recognize that Frazer?
Speaker 1 (42:13):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (42:13):
Yeah, yeah?
Speaker 3 (42:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (42:14):
Was that his sidekick buddy?
Speaker 3 (42:15):
His brother? Great?
Speaker 7 (42:17):
Yeah, I forgot yea brother, his sidekick buddy.
Speaker 12 (42:20):
Yeah, there's the dog too in the dead but no,
so my my coffee is, uh, it depends. It's one
of two. It's I do like the warm and I
do like an iced coffee. Now both of them are
pretty similar. I tend to go on the lighter side,
Like I like my coffee really really blonde and pretty
much as everybody says.
Speaker 7 (42:39):
Oh you hate coffee light roast, Yeah, and I like
it really sweet.
Speaker 12 (42:43):
Just you know, I'll put in like an Italian cream,
a sweet cream, or like a peppermint mocha and just
absolutely make it absolutely sweet because I don't like it
a bitter.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
I'm just I will say this. My old radio producer
Adam Klug, what up cougar? He had a great saying
about iced tea.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Which was plain, iced tea exists on this earth for
one reason. Do you guys know what That reason is?
To sweeten it, to be sweetened, right, And I.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Believe that black coffee exists for the same reason, right
to be sweetened. Like anybody's like, I just like black coffee.
No sugar, no cream, no nothing.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
Is that how you like it?
Speaker 9 (43:20):
I love yeah, if you make it the right way,
as it has plenty of taste and complex flavors and
even some sweetness.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Kind of enjoy the taste of asphalt. That's what it says.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Anyway, I think you go a little bit overboard, Patrick,
But it's also because you're young, and the older you get,
the less you sweetened. Or maybe you just go like
screw it that maybe when you get to your seventies
and you just throw like my mom's like six things
of sugar in there, like whatever.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
Anyway, you're allowed to do what you're allowed to do. Sam,
what's your coffee of the month? What do you for coffee?
Speaker 7 (43:54):
So I like a good medium roast. Lately I've been
buying this Levazza feto. Yeah, yeah, sure, h in it
I buy, you know, I buy. I have a coffee grinder,
but I buy a ground just to save a minute whatever.
And I do like the French press, and I like
drip coffee, but I have a little French press at home.
It makes a strong cup. You got like the sediment
(44:14):
in there, it's like kick, It adds a little extra punch.
It's a thick brew. It's a thick brew. And I
just put ether, you know, some two percent, some whole
milk or half and a half in there. No sugar.
I used to add sugar when I was younger. No
honey or anything, no mocha or you know, whatever, cinnamon,
whatever you might add in there.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
We got no sugar, no.
Speaker 7 (44:31):
Sugar, just just your standard cream in there. And I
want it to be just a little bit lighter brown
than what the coffee looks like originally. And I'm good
to go. And a lot of times I'll go over
to like Whole Foods, or I'll go over to you know,
seven eleven. Buy a cup of coffee. It's never quite
as the seven eleven stuff. It's never as strong as
like the Whole Foods. Are my own concoction at home,
but gets a job done. I'm not a fan of
(44:54):
like Folgers or Maxwell House. I hear those are grown
like a lower elevation or something. It's they're different, But
I like it right in the middle because a light roast,
I don't know if Patrick knows this, but a light
roast has more caffeine content in it, because that's less
the less that a bean, the less that, the lesser
than a bee. Am I even saying this right that
that a bean is roasted, it keeps a higher caffeine content.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
So dark it's an amazing how much we all know
about coffee. And then I was like, hey, tell me
about your taxes and the tax breaks you get, like
I I got someone else.
Speaker 3 (45:29):
I get somebody else to do that, like wait, wait,
that's your actual money.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Whereas the coffee, We're like, did you know did you
that the lighter roast is actually more cabinet?
Speaker 3 (45:37):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
And by the way, also, anything you hear from somebody
else about coffee, if you like it, everybody uses it. Right,
that's there are three hundred station that just became a
fact in everybody's mind that anytime you get questioned about
a lighter roast, like did you know light roast is
actually more caffeinated. I brought up this topic because it
is an amazing unifier. Right, it's an amazing unifier.
Speaker 7 (46:02):
Talk about yourselves coffee, right, what is the topic?
Speaker 3 (46:05):
Your favorite brew is?
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Melinda Richmond and I had one today that was I
never had before and I've had I feel like I've
had every kind of coffee, Like I I believe I
know what the greatest Starbucks order is. I'll share it
with you in a second. But I had at a
place Ocloba City a cold brew. I think it was
cold brew spritz is what it was called. Anyway, Basically
(46:29):
it was like club soda, and then.
Speaker 7 (46:32):
Cold brew happened at m interesting and.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Then I put a little cream in there and a
little simple syrup, and I'm it was fantastic On a
hot summer morning.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
I was like, this is amazing. Who thought of that?
Speaker 7 (46:44):
Getting that pep in your step?
Speaker 11 (46:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (46:46):
You heard of people putting coca cola in their coffee
or like you can actually buy I you think they
had a special coke put out like a coffee plus
coke combo that it kind of reminds me of that.
But carbonated seltzer water right called soda? Yeah, mixed with
cold brew? Yes, and then a couple of that's interesting.
It's a little cream, it's like a it's like a caffin,
it's like a coffee.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
Soada interesting. Yeah, it was really good. But I and
then my my like, huge is I have no use
your Now? I love my huge is? I have no use?
Are your usual? Yeah? Like I'm thinking about becoming a
self brew cold brew guy.
Speaker 7 (47:24):
That's not rocket fuel, man, That stuff's rocket fuel.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
Let me get this straight. Do you do a French
press or you just leave it like in a big
jug with beans overnight?
Speaker 3 (47:33):
Is that what you do? Know?
Speaker 7 (47:33):
I do the French press, so I put the little
ground to the bottom, hot one on top, mix it
after a few minutes. Then no, but I'm mistaking a.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
Cold brew like a cold don't you leave it overnight
and it soaks?
Speaker 7 (47:43):
Oh, I just buy the cold brew.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
Yeah, somebody, I know what you do to make the
cold brew at home?
Speaker 12 (47:48):
You know?
Speaker 7 (47:49):
I don't. It's always like more concentrated and more potent.
I don't know, like how you make cold brew. I
really don't. I really don't know, but I always know
that it's like it's just more potent and powerful. When
I drink it, I'm like I'm gliding across the sky
after I have a cold brew. I don't know, Isaac,
do you know anything about coldbrew? Isaac?
Speaker 9 (48:07):
I'd buy it for my wife all the time, but
that's the extent.
Speaker 7 (48:10):
Some people make it their own, but we usually just
buy it like in a can or a bottle, like
one single serving, ready to go, and uh yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
Mean I definitely feel wasteful, There's no question. I feel
wasteful as hell going to buy colbrew, like, dude, like
this one, I could have made it home.
Speaker 9 (48:25):
Now what's your routine though, because you live out on
a out on the lake, right, I mean, do you do.
Speaker 3 (48:29):
You what I do? Get? Ah, I have a I
have one of those Ninja coffee makers. Oh nice, it's great.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
And so what I do is I make it's like
a it's like a double pull of espresso, and then
I foam a little cream with just like a little
bit of like flavored oat milk, just for a little
bit of something. And then I have my first cup
there with my dogs, and then it begins a series
(49:00):
of different coffees throughout the day.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
I love coffee.
Speaker 7 (49:04):
How many would you say? Three eight eight ounce servings?
You three a day?
Speaker 12 (49:09):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (49:10):
Eight ounce serving?
Speaker 7 (49:11):
Well, like just your normal whatever, a six ounce serving
eight ounce serving coffee eight.
Speaker 3 (49:15):
Ounce to start the day.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
And then usually I'll have or somebody will buy me
or we'll go get a cole Brew at some point
in time, and then usually come like mid radio show,
there'll be another one. If I haven't worked my way
to Arnold Palmer's. Like I literally go coffee until like
a certain point and then I.
Speaker 3 (49:36):
Go Arnold Palmer's.
Speaker 5 (49:37):
You know.
Speaker 9 (49:37):
My theory is that coffee is the best legal performance
enhancing substance there is anywhere, because if I came in
here without having had my coffee, I would sounding my gosh,
because that's my baseline state. When you guys hear me,
(49:59):
it's always caffeine fueled. And I think for what we do,
for what a lot of people do, maybe it's a
placebo effect for me, but I think it just makes
you generally sharper and more energetic.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
All right, share us with us, your your coffee routine.
And if you're like a I don't like coffee, okay,
you're that guy. That's fine, but you don't have to
brag about being I got something specially about being the guy. Well,
I say six dollars a day because I don't like Okay,
you don't have to spend six dollars that you can
brew it at home as Ilo does. I'm just surprised
that Isaac doesn't brew his on his neighbor's machine with
his neighbors beings.
Speaker 7 (50:32):
I didn't say that, I didn't do that. So are
we all properly for clemps?
Speaker 9 (50:37):
Now?
Speaker 3 (50:38):
Yes we are.
Speaker 1 (50:38):

Gottleeb Show, Will Alabama be back, and what about the
pressure on Texas? Plus Mark Medina ways in on the
latest with the Lakers. Wait, do you hear what Marcus
Smart said was the tipping point why he wanted to
(50:59):

my sleep number setting is forty five, So what's that mean? Okay,
zero is the softest think of. I don't know that
kid in middle school's waterbed, right, remember that? Hey, and
one hundred is the firmest. I thought I was a
firm guy went into a Sleep number store, laid on
