into my sports stonehenge.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
You just decided today has drop the hammer on a
bunch of coach teams.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
This is this is week one of college football. Man,
it's still feeling good.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Before you know, Dino Babers and and everything really gets
rolling to.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Dino Babers goes. He's now the o C at Arizona,
and they scored like ninety points in his first game.
He's succeeded everywhere in his collegiate career except for Syracuse.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Right, like I had to watch is why I had
to get to dig in And that's that's what run
that was.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
That's the last game. And I'm watching, going, ooh, Arizona's
in trouble in the first half. Nope, they score like
ninety points. Yeah, they're a stud receiver against like three
hundred yards are going. Dino Baber's first game is offensive
coordinator and and and they roll up that much of
a win. And I'm saying, I go back, and I look,
and I go the dude literally succeeded everywhere except for Syracuse.
(01:45):
And boy did Syracuse? Did we give him so long
to try to like the way I twisted that for
you though, But hey, dude, are you telling you all right?
If I had to live through all that to get
to Kyle McCord, I'm happy he's stuck. Look, he's he
is just really quick. Before we wee get into Florida
State in Florida, just really quick. He's the best pure
(02:06):
thrower that we've had a quarterback in thirty years. He
made throws just in one week. He was he was
hitting Ronde Gadsden in in in tight windows and he's
making all the right calls, and he's throwing a stop
to the opposite side of the field thirty yards. It
gets there on a rope, he can sling it. I mean,
like Fran Brown sad after the game. I want to
(02:26):
send a thank you note to Ryan Day for pushing
Kyle McCord out, sending him to us. Kyle McCord is legit, man,
He I mean already had the best day of syricus
quarterback in years three seventy six and four touchdowns one game.
Yes it's Ohio, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Can I just say I'm sad that it's who Aronde Gadston?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, psychologically and again all these juniors.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Oh man, oh man? How many how.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Many hair looks a little more silver?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
How many times when you were doing fantasy leaves, was
Aronde Gadson your third receiver? I feel really good he's
my third receiver the week this week. But hey, we
are nothing if not a show that looks out for people,
right we do? We look out for each other here
on the show. Sure, or family, Yes, exactly. You know,
I look that dom Tretto got nothing on me family, family,
(03:16):
or or or Caesar or dom Touretto. You know family.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
This is this is where all right, this is where
he says family. We need to look out for one
very specific Florida State fan, very specific, very specific. After
the loss tonight to Boston College. Florida State. Now, oh
and two, they've been eliminated. I think they've been eliminated
from Bowl contention as well, not just for the playoff.
A guy who went they're playing in the CFL next year. Uh.
(03:44):
A guy who goes by the handle of three two
one on Twitter and n O l E n O
l E, not Noel like n Oel. Then you would think, oh,
he's happy at the Oasis reunion.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
No, that we we'd put up My mom would put
him up every holiday and it was Noel. Yeah, and
we'd always switch him around to Leon or Leonard.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Let him got the Tonight show? Sure, okay, I like that.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, anytime Leon showed up, we'd get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
The actor from five Heart Beats, What was this and
know what coming to look for you? Otis was at
his big. I think that was his big line from
uh from five heart beats. UH fan put this on
social media if Florida now and it's a picture of
him Florida State had Florida State shirt, cigar smiling if
smiling not anymore. If Florida State loses the BC this weekend,
(04:36):
I will eat dog blank out of a red solo
cup with a spoon and post a video of me
doing it.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Book it is there any confection or like some type
of food that has that as a you know, like
just random thing you talk you call him, no.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Not even stuff tight shirt eats when I come on, man,
and he's coming back from vacation tomorrow. Since the went up,
and actually since Boston College got out to the two
touchdown lead in the first half, the account was disabled.
Oh that you didn't find out, can't find anymore. Guy's
not around. No no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Well just going straight up. That might give him a
sixteen and a half.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I might have to do it. I might have to
actually do this. Oh wait, man, I could delete that,
Delete that, delete that, dude, You're going viral, doesn't matter.
I'm not doing it. So hopefully this fan is okay.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
No his coworkers and friends and family all screenshot at
that before I got deleted. It has been blown up
poster size and being plastered on his car at his house.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And I would say this, if you are listening in
the Florida area and you are working at a convenience
store or some sort of supermarket, if a guy wearing
Florida State gear comes in and he wants to return
a batch of Red Solo cups, that's probably the guy Red.
So I'm thinking, I'm thinking it's probably the guy Let's
(06:00):
have a party. Yeah, that's that's some next level stuff.
That is it is It's a bold proclamation to make though.
I mean, that's not I'm gonna run through the streets naked.
That's not a I will.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Commit to the the next ninety days and chronicle it.
You know, I'll walk from here to here. I mean
sit on a.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Tony Bruno was that whole thing?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I'll walk if I'll sit on up by a billboard
for all these hours a day. No, this was flat
out I mean it was a disgusting act to steal
from Joe back all those years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Randy Boss looks like he's gonna moon everybody. This is
very this is very specific. I will eat dog blank
out of a red Solo cup with a spoon. I
like he said, with a spoon. I'll eat it with
a spoon. I don't want to get my hands there.
I'll eat it with a spoon.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Well, it's it, okay, basically going down the old David
Swimmer as ross in friends. It's just it's just a milkshake.
It's just a milkshake. It's prest milk. I thought you're, oh, no,
that's a different but it's press min. It's breast milk. Yeah,
they went to the well a couple of times on
that stuff breast milk. But yeah, so just a miserable
(07:11):
effort though. I mean they got run over right.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Passing game never clicked, some balls left on the turf,
potential big chunk yardage which would have gotten them in
back into the game, and at times showed a little
signs of life, but couldn't stop the running game. Two
hundred and fifty three yards on the ground for Boston Co.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Three guys over seventy yards, three guys more than seventy
yards rushing.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
If it came down to it, who would have gotten
the next carry to take them over, because this goes
back to Colorado when they were trying to get the
third hundred yard receiver William Andrews.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Oh good, get in the antles for that one. So
now if you think that's a boy, Florida stays, no, no, no,
because after this week, I'm pretty sure that I can
very safely place Florida football, Florida Gator football in to
sports Stonehenge. And now what is it? If you I
(08:03):
say it all the time? Uh, the sports Stonehenge is
relics of a bygone era. Like you knew they were
important at some point, but not for a really long time.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
And it's been long enough that you forgot how they
got there. Yeah, and I'm a guy who just went
to Stonehenge, Like I went there. When we went to
the UK, we went to Stonehenge. I was like, yeah,
we went to stone It was pretty cool and I
actually learned more about Stonehenge because they have more stuff
there and it's actually much bigger area than they thought
it was very in the very beginning. Were you able
to actually go up there, because I know they've had
some issues with people just randomly picking getting wood.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, Well, the thing is we got Okay, a quick
Stonehenge story before I get to sports Stonehead, Joe. So
we get there and now it's it's further roped off. Okay,
so it's roped off a little bit further away, it's
still close, and still get there. You still take fun pictures.
That's but no, no, it's just it's just like you
could walk over the fence. It's like the fence at
a golf course, like I can walk over this rope
and walk right in.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Okay, and then the marshall like your dad Walt would
walk over and attack you. But when we went earlier
this summer, it was the week after those people went
and spray painted Stonehenge orange. And so I actually asked
one of the guides, I said, hey, what happened was
this to get shut down last week? When when the
when they showed up with the with the orange paint
and he goes, oh no, he goes, cops are here
(09:15):
right away. We we just they were fine. They spray
painted and then they stopped and cops came and took
him away. I said, so, did you stop any busses
from people looking? No?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No, no, everything was fine, like yeah, you see, it's
it's orange for a little bit until he goes away,
so that there was no stoppage of anything.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Nothing stop.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
We're coming in, people are coming in.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Why they keep it going?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Pay money to go see rocks. We're gonna pay money
to go see rocks. We're gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
But you might have you know, the limited edition. I
was at Stonehedge when it was orange cues.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I wonder if I had worn my Syracuse like sweats
or orange, they would look at me weird and go, hey, wait,
what are you here for? But you're wearing orange. I'm sorry,
but Florida football is going to be put in my
sports Stonehenge again, relics of a bygone our in sports,
and we understand that used to be important, but a
long time ago. They have not been an elite ish
(10:07):
team in five years. You're talking since two thousand and
eight when Urban Meyer won the national championship in Chris
Leak and Tim Tebow. Their best seasons were twice they
lost two games. That was it. This is a far
cry from fun and Gun and Spurrier and playing for
the National Titland winning the SEC year after year and
Spurrier to Urban Meyer. They are not trending up. They
(10:30):
got thumped by Miami, absolutely thumped. Billy Napier is not
making it to the end of this season. You see
their schedule. It just gets even worse. It gets even
worse from here to probably one of most difficult schedules
I've ever seen in college football. And then Napier had
to throw Gasolina on the fight. Maybe wants to you know,
(10:51):
I want if I'm gonna get fired, you're gonna fire
me soon, because this is what he said today at
his press conference after losing to Miami. Hey, what's next
to really down day here in Florida? How can you
get better? What do you need to do? And here's
the answer that Billy Napier gave.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
We got to go to work on the football part,
you know. And I think we got to get more.
We got to become a more consistent team, and we
have to execute better. And if we can focus on
those things and not necessarily what some guy in his
basement's saying and you know, rural Central Florida on social media,
then we got a chance to get better.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Right, So first of all, I like that he said
we got to work on the football part. Really, how
are you going to get better? We have to work
on football. Oh that's what it is. Yeah, you know
the whole thing. All the spring practice, summer practice, we're
playing football, We're playing video games. I took the guys out,
we did laser tag, We had some fun nights at
Dave and Busters. We got to work on football more.
(11:48):
I mean sometimes we would show up and the guys
just hang out and talk for like a couple hours.
They text and they'd leave, and I've oh, man, we
forgot the practice. I keep forgetting that pesky football part.
And then he wants to make the big over arching
point of oh, we got to focus on football and
not what some guy in a basement in central Florida
is saying on the internet.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
We still go to basement. No, it's still basement. Wearing
bunny slippers in a basement and and log logging on
your computer.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Is in that part of the country, basements are not
a thing.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
No, no, ba And that you know it's crazy because
when I was coming from the East Coast, it's all
my basement, like, yeah, basements, Yeah we had base like
here in La nobody has basements.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Well, yeah we added in Chicago, and yeah we had basements. Unfortunately,
we'd get water if it rained a bunch.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Most we did a lot of work.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Most people's experience with basements is what they got from
watching Silence of the Lambs. I don't want a basement. No, no,
don't want that.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Not going downstairs in missus Lipman's house. Not going down there.
Like when you sit here after week one and you
get beat that bad by an in state rival and
you say, we got it. We're not focused on it's
the first game of the season. You're not focused on football,
and then you want to throw the fans under the
bus and say, oh yeah, people are saying bad things
(13:01):
about us. Dude, you were paid a lot of money
to come here and be this coach and you have
not succeeded at all. I mean Florida again, Sports Stone.
It's not like you were. You were coming off the
Mullin era where it was, oh hey man, you said,
you're not succeeding harbaught Michigan. You're not succeeding Urban Meyer.
You're not doing that. You're coming in where it was like, hey,
come in and save us, like Billy Napier. Really he
(13:24):
is not making it to the end of the season.
He's not making it to the end of October before
Florida makes a decision on him.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Well, that's not happening. I mean, you just look at
the schedule that they've got coming up. It's just it's
the gauntlet, for lack of a better term, I mean,
top twenty five teams all over the place week to week,
and some of them theorized that maybe it should be
urban Meyer to come in as the savior and bring
him back.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Here.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I am bring it back out of the broadcast.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
He would do that because all because you set such
unrealistic ext But that's.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Said where you were and where you've been. I mean,
you go through you've got a couple of ten double
digit win seasons under Mullen, but twenty twenty he was
eight and four, twenty twenty one, six and seven, and
then you've got the napier years six and seven, five
and seven, and now you're off off to a bad
(14:23):
start once again and starting to shout at boosters and
fans and everything else. Yeah, you got to talk about
getting the noise out. It doesn't matter once you're in
between the white lines like you had all off season,
Like that's no longer. If this is week five or
week six and you have an off game because there's
a bunch of noise around the program. Fine, it's nothing.
(14:45):
It's week one. There's nothing but optimism for everybody. Go
read any message board of any NFL team. They're still
talking about how great the year is going to be,
even if the realistic, realistic ones among us saying this
is a four win or five win team, still optimistic
for a season to begin. Likewise, all in college football,
it's the same thing. We may not be a playoff
(15:07):
bound squad, but you're not going in bash and everything.
So to have that become the the up and ready
thing coming out of week one is just absolutely asinine.
That a couple of bad years.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
You gotta own it.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Like the noise is gonna be there saying, hey, you've
got to get it right. And if that's the thing
you're worried about, you're worried about all the wrong things.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, like that's got your message after week one. That's
like your message week ten, where things are spiraling out
of control and you're losing the players a little bit.
If you're having this conversation after week one where it's
we got to focus on football, it's the fame they've
been all some of they can't wait for the season
to start, and it's the first time we got to
focus on football more. What the hey, listen, I'm I'm
(15:49):
binge watching Bad Monkey and boy, it's really fun. I'm
seeing all these fun places in the Florida Keys that
are really cool. I'm not focused on football as much.
I'm sorry, you know, Hey, I'm sorry we got thumbed
by Miami. I'll pay more attention in film class, Coach.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
This says a lot about why you were six and
seven and five and seven. Like if there were any
questions remaining, this would be it.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
What did you do?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Like you want to give us a dissertation on your
summer vacation?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Now?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Is that where you head out of there? It's like,
you know what? When I did go down to the
Keys for I went to Alligator Alley because it was
in the episode. So I felt like I needed to.

I thought opp Naughty by Nature there were that that song.
This was good. Oh, They're gonna be superstars, and I'm like, boy, wow,
they disappeared. They got paid. They proved my theory the
world is flat because they fell right off the face
of it.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Right there still a part of the history, the fact
that all these years later we're using it.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, oh sure, Right now, Kyri is going, Wait, someone
called the world flat wag Let me call in. What's

when you just played basketball. We got to the finals.
This is fan fantastic.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Ah. But they're talking about captains here for a few minutes. Yeah, okay,
we'll talking about captains here.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Guy's name captain are there.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And in in ascending order of the more ridiculous captain
story to the more important captain story. The Bears today,
your bears, My Bears, Your bears, My Bears named Caleb
Williams team captain. Okay, great, shoe's a lot of leadership.
Everybody loves him. Players already say, seems like that guy
(19:43):
that plays older than his years. Awesome, Caleb.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Right, we're talking about usc Yes, and Mitch Moss. Dude,
I told you I.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Love your team.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I'm telling you, man, you're in the era of good feeling.
You're a Super Bowl contender for the next ten years.
You're gonna be great. I'm not lying to you. Respond
I love your team. I know you hate that I
say that, but I.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Do because you do it with this cheshire cat grin. Well,
you're trying to scare me by jumping on board, but
as if you know it's going to capsize the boat.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Okay, no, no, no, but there is a butt here.
There is a butt for this one right here. Caleb
Laves is a captain. Yeah, the Bears named eight captains today.
You have eight captains.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Well, they all serve a different purpose.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Eight Yeah, that's one out of every six and a
half people on that team as a captain.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah, and three out of four Dennis prove of some
brand of two bases. So I mean, what do you
want from that?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I mean, what what is that? How do you have
eight captains? Is there a hierarchy of cat you're the Well,
we have the captain captain, then there's a captain, then
there's the private captain, then there's a lieutenant colonel captain,
and then there's the captain. They only have one.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I don't think they have to disclose what they're responsibility.
They do because it's stupid to have eight captains.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
What is that eight.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Guys that you decided you maybe just there's something in
their leadership style that you have to love.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
It's like me saying, I want eight groomsmen in mind,
I have eight best amount of people.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Do that?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
No, eight best men? No, No, it's enough.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
No, no, no, I'm where it comes to seven on
seven turnament before it's all over.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
It's flag football. Uh no, I've seen where. Okay, Hey,
I can't. I can't decide. So I'm gonna have two
best men. Awesome. I get that you have two best friends.
I get it. Can you have eight best men?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
We've seen it.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
No, we've not seen eight eight best men. What wedding
have you gone to? We got to we got eight
best man speeches? Okay, we gotta have.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
My regards to the gift eight.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah. My mom would always say that, don't go to
a don't go to a wedding out of town. Just
send money, Just send more money you would normally send.
Just always tried to explain the guys, you know, you
had a big event. I don't have to show up
right on the card, Please, Mike, don't show up. What
still sends you a gift. How about this? What if
instead of coming, I give you way more money than
I would, but still way less in the price of
(22:08):
me paying for two plane tickets in hotel for a
couple of days.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
When what if I do that, maybe a new suit something.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
What if I give you just way more money I need,
you know, dress shoes for a while, because that would
be like a like probably a three thousand dollars weekend
for me. What if instead I send you like five
hundred dollars and then I go to Vegas? Yeah, what
if I see you five hundred buck?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yeah, don't worry about don't worry bout mass me.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Col Cobt.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Marceides.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Is he that you have two tight ends that are captain? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
But Marcedes Lewis is like, no, I he's the wise
old man in the corner.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
The guy's been playing forever. Due Like, how do you
feel if you are the third tight end? You're the
only one that's not a captain? I must I must
have no leadership skills whatever, because the other two guys
are both captains.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Maybe they just have more leadership skills than you have
to Now you know why, because their captains they can
teach you. That's Marsides Lewis. I'm telling you he's sitting
in the corner and if you got a problem, he's
the guy to solve. Is Marcedes Lewis col Comet's captain?
I think so, No, he can't be because co Comet's
a captains. Yeah, but I think who's your third tight like?
Who's your third tight end?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Is?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I think both captains of the one person of that guy?
Come on, man, DJ Moore? Okay, then we saw him
and his kids at the ice cream museum and everything else.
You got a big contract, yeah, okay, he'll teach you
out and negotiate.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Tremaine Edmonds and TJ Edwards a linebackers.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Okay, so you have two linebackers a captain.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You got Alan Johnson and Kevin Byerd okay, okay, and
then the Williams.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Okay, all right. That's eight captains when you really need three.
Need an offensive captain, defensive captain, special teams captain. That's
it in the end, do.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
You really need any of them? No? Do your damn job.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
You have eight captains.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Come on, man, what are you doing a lot of
it's just understood what you here they decided to symbolically
make them.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Captain, they actually made them captains.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Why why is this bad?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Because what you're saying, why what you're saying is instead
of having true leaders on the team, we're just gonna
give this to a bunch of people. Why Why would
I listen to Caleb Williams if DJ Moore is gonna
tell me something different answer I like better? Why would
I listen to cole Comet if I'm going to get
a better answer from Marcedes Lewis or tormentalized? Why would I?
(24:24):
Why would I?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
It's like cool Jay and toys when he had his
military meal. When stuff is separated out linebackers are over
there the secondary.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
You got two guys. Caleb Williams really the captain. How
come there's no running back over Well, they're fighting right where.
The punter's not a captain, the kickers not as the
kid from Iowa. So that's gonna be fun.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Like you want to talk about a guy that's going
to be interesting in postgame interviews, that's the guy Caleb.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Hey, we're making you a captain. What a leader? What
a great story. Yeah, but we got seven other guys.
Oh okay, So it's kind of really watered down. I'm
not really captain. Captain you're gonna send You're gonna send
eight guys out there for the coin top damn right now,
if there was a fight, I agree with that, Like
if the coin toss would break into a fight. Okay,
(25:12):
guys out there. You said eight guys out there.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
You got eight guys that are witnessed. You can potentialians
by the official.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
You can take care of the three captains the other
team sends out and the officials. I think you pretty
match up.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
So on a given week, that team has to come
up with five more captains.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I don't have a three five guys. Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
That means you don't think you have another leader amongst
the other forty nine guys on your roster, fifty guys on.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Your roster who wants to be a captain. I go
out there, go out there, Go go out there. Take
the didn't do that with your team. Just go The
one thing I would do is at the end, if
someone was playing their last game and uh, for whatever
reason they were leaving, they were you know what, you
were about to cut them, I would yeah, listen, you're done.
I would let them go out for the beginning, or
(25:59):
let and bring the lineup up to the to the
home plate on pilot's let them go out for the
beginning when we choose the sage the coin toss for
soccer no at the end. I would do that, but
that's a special thing. This is no.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
No.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
We got eight guys, eight guys. Why does this bother you?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Eight guys because it's nonsensical to make eight guys captains.
You know what. They're just trying to get in line
with what they're over under for wins.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Is are they worried okay? Half okay? Are they worried
that if they have some kind of excursion, like one
captain is in charge of every six people so people
don't get lost, like when you go on a school truck.
I mean that's a pretty good way to do. Like
you have eight chaperones. You're in charge of these six kids.
You're in charge of these legally, I think you're in
charge of those. For insurance coverage, I think that helps.
So you have the ridiculousness of the Bears eight captains,
(26:46):
and then there's the one captain that was named today.
Russell Wilson is a Steelers captain.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
They got.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I think Kenny Pickett is still a captain. He's not
giving back a See he's Jordan Childs. I'm gonna hold
onto this bronze medal till you come get it from me. Uh.
But Russell Wilson is the Steelers team captain, and look
they all say glowing things about him and being a captain.
All right, that's great, and I understand.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
But because because they got four.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I can keep looking at this. Okay, it's still but
that's one too many you have? You have five too many? Well,
who wins a fight?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
WI?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
How are you gonna agree on a coin toss? Well,
you have the captain, These four want heads, these four
want tails. You need a ninth captain.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Got the eight guys for all of the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
You have nine. We're gonna pack the captaincy so we
can get the call we want. We don't like what
we're getting from these nine guys.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Keep yelling party lines.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
We're gonna put more captains out there so we can
get that coin toss we want. I want that result
that I want. I want heads, and if I need
to pack the captaincy to get him, I will do it.
You will call heads, We will call heads. On this team.
Uh No, But but Wilson, it's like again, this is
more and is it weird for a quarterback to not
be a captain? Yes, but this is just an extension
(28:08):
of Hey, here's the kid gloves and the and the
power of positive thinking treatment that we keep pushing on
Russell Wilson, like the Steelers believe, we have to treat
him like this. We have to do this for him.
We have to really make sure that everything is is
neat and a pin and he knows he can't have
any negative thoughts in his head at all. But here's
(28:28):
what great guy. We think when the reality is he's
going to be a captain on the bench and Justin
Fields are going to go and pull that c off
his chest and put it on when he goes out
there week four. Because Russell Wilson is a plotter, give
it to me, give it him coming off, now, give
it to me, Give it to me. This is it's
an extension of the kid gloves and how they've treated
Russell Wilson. And I don't understand why the Steelers do Again,
(28:52):
the more time goes on, I go, do the Steelers
really know offensively what they're doing? Their plan and so
many different.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Questions I think, but the Russell in the kid glove treatment,
I'm saying to myself, why this is not a guy
If he needs that, how long is he really gonna
be your quarterback first and complete? I think he does
need some of that. But again, it goes back to
ball security. We talked about it a little bit earlier
and it's it's a resounding theme in all of this.
As much as you love the frenetic pace and potential
(29:21):
big play, particularly adding the element of using your legs
or whatever that Justin Fields does going back to his
days at Chicago and we saw it even in the
preseason game, ball security is a big problem. And when
you're operating with waffer thin Margins, right, because that's what
the Steelers are gonna be right. Get this, this is
(29:41):
the power of positive or negative thinking. You know what
the Steelers over under for wins is eight, it's eight
and a half. It sam as the Bears one sunshine,
lollipops and rainbows the others. Seems like it's burning in
the fifth ring of head if you were to believe
the narratives around But we.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Want we want one captain for every win we're expected
to get this year. That's what we want to run out.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
But for Russell Wilson, it's the all right, if we're
gonna be a defensive team and we're gonna try to
run the ball with our two headed monster in the backfield, right,
get Harris and Warren going and whoever else mixes in
corderial Patterson being there. Now see him mix in a
bit in the run game that you're only scoring twenty
points a game, right, and so one possession, one fumble,
(30:32):
one air and throw. Now he's gonna take a bunch
of sacks and you're gonna want to tear all your
hair out, there's no question about it. But will he
have that one negative play that absolutely dooms you? And
I think that's the fear now making him a captain, Well,
that's that's the year old, so very.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Public and here it's a big story today and there's
quotes everywhere on and it's like the propping up of
Russell Wilson. I just shake my head and go, you
know you're gonna replace him a question. You know he's
not gonna make it. He's going he's a oh oh no,
he would he would go right past Stone engine into
something else like, oh, this was this is even longer
ago than Stonehenge. I'm going all the way back to
(31:08):
the Crusades. I'm going back. I'm going back to when
Alexander the Great conquered most of Europe by the time
he was twenty one. Right now, let's find out what's
trending in the wide world of sports. For a man
who actually bet against Alexander the Great, oh, getting out
of his home country.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
He got great odds.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
And he lost a lot on that. It's Steve Desager
with what's trending.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
I really thought he was just Alexander the very good.
Yeah you went against him.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
He was Hall of Fame, by the way, when he
was twenty one. I mean it was oh yeah, done over,
that was it.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
We've seen a lot of first round quarterbacks like that.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
This is true.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
They're twenty one. Not implying anything about your discussion this.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Oh no, listen, Sam Doarnold, No, no, no, not not
not many guys have done that.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Marriage Looking at the NFL rulebook for this year, it
literally says a team's captains, you are limited to six
at midfield before the start of the game.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
That's going to be a fight now the Bears are
going to fight.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
Yes, and that includes honorary or inactive guys. Six people
acting as captains at midfield is the max? Okay, Yeah,
there's going to be some fights there. Bengals wide receiver
Jamar Chasemiss practice again today, wanting a new contract. Cincinnati
opens the NFL season for him this Sunday at home
against New England. Chase attended practice in street close today.
(32:25):
Forty nine Ers first round wide receiver Ricky Piersoll will
miss at least a month. He was placed on the
non football injury list, as was Chief's running back Clyde
Edwards Hilaire. Kansas City wide receiver Marquise Brown did not
practice again today. He will not play in Thursday's season
opener against Baltimore due to a bad shoulder. Ravens star
tight end Mark Andrews just returned to practice Friday. He'd
(32:46):
missed over two weeks after a car accident. Steelers running
back Jalen Warren participated in individual drills. Vikings wide receiver
Jordan Addison practiced after the ankle injury. Dolphins wide receivers
Tyreek Hill and Jalen Watts each practice fully. Chargers edge
rusher Joey Bosa is no longer wearing a club over
his hand, which he broke about a month ago. In
(33:08):
college football, Tonight BC a winner at Florida State twenty
eight to thirteen. The final Boston College led early third
quarter twenty one six BC, with only one penalty Tonight,
no turnovers and over two hundred and sixty yards rushing
against the Seminoles. AP pointing out the Florida States program
the previous fifteen years or so, when it was ranked
(33:29):
in the top ten and the opponent was unranked. Florida
State's record was thirty nine and two. This year, oh
and two. They were preseason number ten. Won't be when
the new rankings come out tomorrow. NOBB be a little lower, Yes,
a little bit lower, maybe fifty. Maybe Jessica Pagoula won
or fourth, maybe ahead of Florida receiving votes. No, they
(33:50):
will not. At least the Dublin game. It was a
last second field goal by Georgia Tech Florida. I never
got the impression that they were going to win that
game over the weekend. No, No, there was that might
happen again in other games this year, maybe a few,
just a few Jessica Pacoula whatater fourth round match at
the US Open tonight. The late game went to the
Yankees eight to four over Texas. Garrett Cole the winning
(34:12):
pitcher nine strikeouts in six innings. Jack Lder took the loss.
The Orioles still a half game behind the Yanks for
first in the AL East. Baltimore beat the White Sox
thirteen to three. The White Sox have lost eleven games
in a row. In fact, the White Sox now trail
Cleveland in the AL Central by forty eight and a
half games. Baltimore in twenty eighteen finished sixty one games
(34:35):
out in its division. Apparently that's the record for the
Divisional era, but that was an Orioles team that only
lost a mere one fifteen. The White Sox couldn't blow
past that mark this year because the record number of
losses in a season is one to twenty by the
expansion Mets of nineteen sixty two, no divisions back then,
they finished sixty and a half games out in the
(34:56):
National League.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah, but they were notoriously a second half team that year.
They were much better in the second half, third half.
Maybe this.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
I don't think the second half was any better than
the first half. Cleveland and Minnesota each one on the road.
Dodgers and Padres each one in that La win. It
was eleven to six at Arizona Freddy Freeman with two
homers five RBIs. The Dodgers won the season series against Arizona.
No one game playoffs these days. If there's a tie
break between those two, Dodgers won the series. Cincinnati ended
(35:24):
Houston's five game winning streak five to three. Oakland with
a solo homer bottom of the ninth beat Seattle five
to four, and the Mets won their fifth straight.
Speaker 1 (35:32):

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Couldn't do it any justice by trying to dive in
on any of those lines. You can give me a
wikie week we any whack, oh wicked week a week
any whack? Maybe later Remember they were feuding with ABC,
another bad creation, all because they did Aishaisha.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
You are the girl that I never had? And oh
yeah it was a feud. Yeah wait, so like boy
groups are feuding. Okay, that was the nineties. Many, that
was the nineties.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
It got press, it got people to go maybe sample
and by.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Was life play in the nineties. Well, I'll tell you
kid groups where kids are like twelve and thirteen years old.
They feuded. They had beef. I'm telling you they had beef.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
They had a good short run.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
It's all good. H speaking of beef. Me, what's what's
what's my beef?
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Dave?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Speaking of beef. The football story that I wish we
didn't have this weekend, the surprise. Hey, if you have
DirecTV guess what you don't get to watch USCLSU and
you don't get to watch the game tonight between Florida
State and Boston College. It's been a story, albeit in
the background, for the last few weeks. The dispute between
(37:17):
DirectTV and ESPN couldn't come to terms on a carriage fee.
So twenty minutes before the USCLSU game, big font up
White over Black. Hey, we couldn't come to an agreement.
We don't have this channel anymore. Good luck now was there.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
And historically when these have come up, it's like, you know,
on this date your cable provider and hasn't like they
basically take out an head to say, hey, this is coming,
this is a problem, and questioning of whether it'd gone
on the lower third right on the scroll at any point.
So like we warned you, but it's like anything else,
(37:55):
and you know, you get severe weather warnings or whatever.
Do you pay attention when you're warning?
Speaker 4 (38:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
No, no, But it's fine.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
I'm not going on, but I'm not leaving.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
I'm not not part of that.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
OK, I'm twenty miles from there. I'm perfectly fine.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
You know. So that kind of thing where you figure
it's a bunch of nonsense and they'll figure it out
before I need to watch my game.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
But this is what makes me hate DirecTV and hate
ESPN for doing this, is that this was something that
was foisted upon us all of a sudden, you get it. Hey,
Oh so if we were watching the channel religiously, maybe
once in a while there would be a scroll to buy. Hey,
we have a dispute coming up. If we can't come
to an agreement, we're going to discontinue the channel. Oh
(38:37):
but here, we're gonna do it twenty minutes before a
game you really want to see. And it's gonna be
before a day where there's two games everybody really wants
to see because the Labor Day Monday night game has
become a thing. Don't always have the greatest teams playing,
but you have a good matchup. And what they decided
to do is say, you know what, we want you
to be the political football on this. Well, this is
(38:59):
not my fight. You know, I pay for this and
I didn't pay for DIRECTIV and I'm pissed what they
did because this is something you guys figure it out.
But now you're making me a part of it and
saying that, Well, now that you're pissed, you will help
push it one way or the other, because either you're
gonna be mad at ESPN or you're mad at direct TV,
and eventually it's gonna get resolved. No, don't do this
(39:20):
to me. This is this is not my fight. This
is for you guys to figure out, because you don't
invite me in to make any questions, say what I
want or how much I would pay? No, no, no, But
now it's all We're going to do this right before
the game starts, so you get screwed.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Well, why are you bringing me into this? This is you, guys,
and you should have warned me way ahead of time.
I'm not gonna have this game.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
You should tell me, make sure, over over, make no
stone unturned that you're not gonna be able to show
me this game. And I should be able to know
so I can make plans instead twenty minutes before, Hey,
guess what, we don't have it. Oh, we're gonna do
it right before a big game, just to screw you.
I hate that they did it this way.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Well I would have been kind of funny. Is if
at some point it broke in for an advertise paid
by Disney to get the ESPN Hulu bundle?
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
I want to see this game right now? Wait?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Is this the one that the courts of law said
we can't do and we have to appeel this or
is this something new? I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
No, just the old bundle, not the new one with
the with Fox and everything else. No, this is the
old butt, not the new but but the old bundle.
I could get the No, I can't get either of those,
all right, But it's all that chaos, right because if
you really want to search it out, like, there's plenty
of apparatuses on the marketplace to go get stuff antenna wise,
you don't actually have to have rabbit ears, but you
(40:36):
can also do all the different streaming services and really
piecemeal your way back to greatness.

(00:50):
we're gonna have another team that I'm ready to place
into my sports stonehenge.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
You just decided today has drop the hammer on a
bunch of coach teams.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
This is this is week one of college football. Man,
it's still feeling good.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Before you know, Dino Babers and and everything really gets
rolling to.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Dino Babers goes. He's now the o C at Arizona,
and they scored like ninety points in his first game.
He's succeeded everywhere in his collegiate career except for Syracuse.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Right, like I had to watch is why I had
to get to dig in And that's that's what run
that was.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
That's the last game. And I'm watching, going, ooh, Arizona's
in trouble in the first half. Nope, they score like
ninety points. Yeah, they're a stud receiver against like three
hundred yards are going. Dino Baber's first game is offensive
coordinator and and and they roll up that much of
a win. And I'm saying, I go back, and I look,
and I go the dude literally succeeded everywhere except for Syracuse.
(01:45):
And boy did Syracuse? Did we give him so long
to try to like the way I twisted that for
you though, But hey, dude, are you telling you all right?
If I had to live through all that to get
to Kyle McCord, I'm happy he's stuck. Look, he's he
is just really quick. Before we wee get into Florida
State in Florida, just really quick. He's the best pure
(02:06):
thrower that we've had a quarterback in thirty years. He
made throws just in one week. He was he was
hitting Ronde Gadsden in in in tight windows and he's
making all the right calls, and he's throwing a stop
to the opposite side of the field thirty yards. It
gets there on a rope, he can sling it. I mean,
like Fran Brown sad after the game. I want to
(02:26):
send a thank you note to Ryan Day for pushing
Kyle McCord out, sending him to us. Kyle McCord is legit, man,
He I mean already had the best day of syricus
quarterback in years three seventy six and four touchdowns one game.
Yes it's Ohio, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Can I just say I'm sad that it's who Aronde Gadston?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, psychologically and again all these juniors.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Oh man, oh man? How many how.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Many hair looks a little more silver?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
How many times when you were doing fantasy leaves, was
Aronde Gadson your third receiver? I feel really good he's
my third receiver the week this week. But hey, we
are nothing if not a show that looks out for people,
right we do? We look out for each other here
on the show. Sure, or family, Yes, exactly. You know,
I look that dom Tretto got nothing on me family, family,
(03:16):
or or or Caesar or dom Touretto. You know family.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
This is this is where all right, this is where
he says family. We need to look out for one
very specific Florida State fan, very specific, very specific. After
the loss tonight to Boston College. Florida State. Now, oh
and two, they've been eliminated. I think they've been eliminated
from Bowl contention as well, not just for the playoff.
A guy who went they're playing in the CFL next year. Uh.
(03:44):
A guy who goes by the handle of three two
one on Twitter and n O l E n O
l E, not Noel like n Oel. Then you would think, oh,
he's happy at the Oasis reunion.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
No, that we we'd put up My mom would put
him up every holiday and it was Noel. Yeah, and
we'd always switch him around to Leon or Leonard.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Let him got the Tonight show? Sure, okay, I like that.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, anytime Leon showed up, we'd get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
The actor from five Heart Beats, What was this and
know what coming to look for you? Otis was at
his big. I think that was his big line from
uh from five heart beats. UH fan put this on
social media if Florida now and it's a picture of
him Florida State had Florida State shirt, cigar smiling if
smiling not anymore. If Florida State loses the BC this weekend,
(04:36):
I will eat dog blank out of a red solo
cup with a spoon and post a video of me
doing it.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Book it is there any confection or like some type
of food that has that as a you know, like
just random thing you talk you call him, no.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Not even stuff tight shirt eats when I come on, man,
and he's coming back from vacation tomorrow. Since the went up,
and actually since Boston College got out to the two
touchdown lead in the first half, the account was disabled.
Oh that you didn't find out, can't find anymore. Guy's
not around. No no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Well just going straight up. That might give him a
sixteen and a half.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I might have to do it. I might have to
actually do this. Oh wait, man, I could delete that,
Delete that, delete that, dude, You're going viral, doesn't matter.
I'm not doing it. So hopefully this fan is okay.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
No his coworkers and friends and family all screenshot at
that before I got deleted. It has been blown up
poster size and being plastered on his car at his house.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And I would say this, if you are listening in
the Florida area and you are working at a convenience
store or some sort of supermarket, if a guy wearing
Florida State gear comes in and he wants to return
a batch of Red Solo cups, that's probably the guy Red.
So I'm thinking, I'm thinking it's probably the guy Let's
(06:00):
have a party. Yeah, that's that's some next level stuff.
That is it is It's a bold proclamation to make though.
I mean, that's not I'm gonna run through the streets naked.
That's not a I will.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Commit to the the next ninety days and chronicle it.
You know, I'll walk from here to here. I mean
sit on a.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Tony Bruno was that whole thing?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I'll walk if I'll sit on up by a billboard
for all these hours a day. No, this was flat
out I mean it was a disgusting act to steal
from Joe back all those years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Randy Boss looks like he's gonna moon everybody. This is
very this is very specific. I will eat dog blank
out of a red Solo cup with a spoon. I
like he said, with a spoon. I'll eat it with
a spoon. I don't want to get my hands there.
I'll eat it with a spoon.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Well, it's it, okay, basically going down the old David
Swimmer as ross in friends. It's just it's just a milkshake.
It's just a milkshake. It's prest milk. I thought you're, oh, no,
that's a different but it's press min. It's breast milk. Yeah,
they went to the well a couple of times on
that stuff breast milk. But yeah, so just a miserable
(07:11):
effort though. I mean they got run over right.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Passing game never clicked, some balls left on the turf,
potential big chunk yardage which would have gotten them in
back into the game, and at times showed a little
signs of life, but couldn't stop the running game. Two
hundred and fifty three yards on the ground for Boston Co.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Three guys over seventy yards, three guys more than seventy
yards rushing.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
If it came down to it, who would have gotten
the next carry to take them over, because this goes
back to Colorado when they were trying to get the
third hundred yard receiver William Andrews.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Oh good, get in the antles for that one. So
now if you think that's a boy, Florida stays, no, no, no,
because after this week, I'm pretty sure that I can
very safely place Florida football, Florida Gator football in to
sports Stonehenge. And now what is it? If you I
(08:03):
say it all the time? Uh, the sports Stonehenge is
relics of a bygone era. Like you knew they were
important at some point, but not for a really long time.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
And it's been long enough that you forgot how they
got there. Yeah, and I'm a guy who just went
to Stonehenge, Like I went there. When we went to
the UK, we went to Stonehenge. I was like, yeah,
we went to stone It was pretty cool and I
actually learned more about Stonehenge because they have more stuff
there and it's actually much bigger area than they thought
it was very in the very beginning. Were you able
to actually go up there, because I know they've had
some issues with people just randomly picking getting wood.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, Well, the thing is we got Okay, a quick
Stonehenge story before I get to sports Stonehead, Joe. So
we get there and now it's it's further roped off. Okay,
so it's roped off a little bit further away, it's
still close, and still get there. You still take fun pictures.
That's but no, no, it's just it's just like you
could walk over the fence. It's like the fence at
a golf course, like I can walk over this rope
and walk right in.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Okay, and then the marshall like your dad Walt would
walk over and attack you. But when we went earlier
this summer, it was the week after those people went
and spray painted Stonehenge orange. And so I actually asked
one of the guides, I said, hey, what happened was
this to get shut down last week? When when the
when they showed up with the with the orange paint
and he goes, oh no, he goes, cops are here
(09:15):
right away. We we just they were fine. They spray
painted and then they stopped and cops came and took
him away. I said, so, did you stop any busses
from people looking? No?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No, no, everything was fine, like yeah, you see, it's
it's orange for a little bit until he goes away,
so that there was no stoppage of anything.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Nothing stop.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
We're coming in, people are coming in.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Why they keep it going?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Pay money to go see rocks. We're gonna pay money
to go see rocks. We're gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
But you might have you know, the limited edition. I
was at Stonehedge when it was orange cues.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I wonder if I had worn my Syracuse like sweats
or orange, they would look at me weird and go, hey, wait,
what are you here for? But you're wearing orange. I'm sorry,
but Florida football is going to be put in my
sports Stonehenge again, relics of a bygone our in sports,
and we understand that used to be important, but a
long time ago. They have not been an elite ish
(10:07):
team in five years. You're talking since two thousand and
eight when Urban Meyer won the national championship in Chris
Leak and Tim Tebow. Their best seasons were twice they
lost two games. That was it. This is a far
cry from fun and Gun and Spurrier and playing for
the National Titland winning the SEC year after year and
Spurrier to Urban Meyer. They are not trending up. They
(10:30):
got thumped by Miami, absolutely thumped. Billy Napier is not
making it to the end of this season. You see
their schedule. It just gets even worse. It gets even
worse from here to probably one of most difficult schedules
I've ever seen in college football. And then Napier had
to throw Gasolina on the fight. Maybe wants to you know,
(10:51):
I want if I'm gonna get fired, you're gonna fire
me soon, because this is what he said today at
his press conference after losing to Miami. Hey, what's next
to really down day here in Florida? How can you
get better? What do you need to do? And here's
the answer that Billy Napier gave.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
We got to go to work on the football part,
you know. And I think we got to get more.
We got to become a more consistent team, and we
have to execute better. And if we can focus on
those things and not necessarily what some guy in his
basement's saying and you know, rural Central Florida on social media,
then we got a chance to get better.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Right, So first of all, I like that he said
we got to work on the football part. Really, how
are you going to get better? We have to work
on football. Oh that's what it is. Yeah, you know
the whole thing. All the spring practice, summer practice, we're
playing football, We're playing video games. I took the guys out,
we did laser tag, We had some fun nights at
Dave and Busters. We got to work on football more.
(11:48):
I mean sometimes we would show up and the guys
just hang out and talk for like a couple hours.
They text and they'd leave, and I've oh, man, we
forgot the practice. I keep forgetting that pesky football part.
And then he wants to make the big over arching
point of oh, we got to focus on football and
not what some guy in a basement in central Florida
is saying on the internet.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
We still go to basement. No, it's still basement. Wearing
bunny slippers in a basement and and log logging on
your computer.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Is in that part of the country, basements are not
a thing.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
No, no, ba And that you know it's crazy because
when I was coming from the East Coast, it's all
my basement, like, yeah, basements, Yeah we had base like
here in La nobody has basements.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Well, yeah we added in Chicago, and yeah we had basements. Unfortunately,
we'd get water if it rained a bunch.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Most we did a lot of work.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Most people's experience with basements is what they got from
watching Silence of the Lambs. I don't want a basement. No, no,
don't want that.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Not going downstairs in missus Lipman's house. Not going down there.
Like when you sit here after week one and you
get beat that bad by an in state rival and
you say, we got it. We're not focused on it's
the first game of the season. You're not focused on football,
and then you want to throw the fans under the
bus and say, oh yeah, people are saying bad things
(13:01):
about us. Dude, you were paid a lot of money
to come here and be this coach and you have
not succeeded at all. I mean Florida again, Sports Stone.
It's not like you were. You were coming off the
Mullin era where it was, oh hey man, you said,
you're not succeeding harbaught Michigan. You're not succeeding Urban Meyer.
You're not doing that. You're coming in where it was like, hey,
come in and save us, like Billy Napier. Really he
(13:24):
is not making it to the end of the season.
He's not making it to the end of October before
Florida makes a decision on him.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Well, that's not happening. I mean, you just look at
the schedule that they've got coming up. It's just it's
the gauntlet, for lack of a better term, I mean,
top twenty five teams all over the place week to week,
and some of them theorized that maybe it should be
urban Meyer to come in as the savior and bring
him back.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Here.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I am bring it back out of the broadcast.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
He would do that because all because you set such
unrealistic ext But that's.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Said where you were and where you've been. I mean,
you go through you've got a couple of ten double
digit win seasons under Mullen, but twenty twenty he was
eight and four, twenty twenty one, six and seven, and
then you've got the napier years six and seven, five
and seven, and now you're off off to a bad
(14:23):
start once again and starting to shout at boosters and
fans and everything else. Yeah, you got to talk about
getting the noise out. It doesn't matter once you're in
between the white lines like you had all off season,
Like that's no longer. If this is week five or
week six and you have an off game because there's
a bunch of noise around the program. Fine, it's nothing.
(14:45):
It's week one. There's nothing but optimism for everybody. Go
read any message board of any NFL team. They're still
talking about how great the year is going to be,
even if the realistic, realistic ones among us saying this
is a four win or five win team, still optimistic
for a season to begin. Likewise, all in college football,
it's the same thing. We may not be a playoff
(15:07):
bound squad, but you're not going in bash and everything.
So to have that become the the up and ready
thing coming out of week one is just absolutely asinine.
That a couple of bad years.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
You gotta own it.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Like the noise is gonna be there saying, hey, you've
got to get it right. And if that's the thing
you're worried about, you're worried about all the wrong things.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, like that's got your message after week one. That's
like your message week ten, where things are spiraling out
of control and you're losing the players a little bit.
If you're having this conversation after week one where it's
we got to focus on football, it's the fame they've
been all some of they can't wait for the season
to start, and it's the first time we got to
focus on football more. What the hey, listen, I'm I'm
(15:49):
binge watching Bad Monkey and boy, it's really fun. I'm
seeing all these fun places in the Florida Keys that
are really cool. I'm not focused on football as much.
I'm sorry, you know, Hey, I'm sorry we got thumbed
by Miami. I'll pay more attention in film class, Coach.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
This says a lot about why you were six and
seven and five and seven. Like if there were any
questions remaining, this would be it.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
What did you do?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Like you want to give us a dissertation on your
summer vacation?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Now?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Is that where you head out of there? It's like,
you know what? When I did go down to the
Keys for I went to Alligator Alley because it was
in the episode. So I felt like I needed to.

I thought opp Naughty by Nature there were that that song.
This was good. Oh, They're gonna be superstars, and I'm like, boy, wow,
they disappeared. They got paid. They proved my theory the
world is flat because they fell right off the face
of it.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Right there still a part of the history, the fact
that all these years later we're using it.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, oh sure, Right now, Kyri is going, Wait, someone
called the world flat wag Let me call in. What's

And look they got to the finals. Yes, look what happens, Kyrie,
when you just played basketball. We got to the finals.
This is fan fantastic.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Ah. But they're talking about captains here for a few minutes. Yeah, okay,
we'll talking about captains here.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Guy's name captain are there.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And in in ascending order of the more ridiculous captain
story to the more important captain story. The Bears today,
your bears, My Bears, Your bears, My Bears named Caleb
Williams team captain. Okay, great, shoe's a lot of leadership.
Everybody loves him. Players already say, seems like that guy
(19:43):
that plays older than his years. Awesome, Caleb.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Right, we're talking about usc Yes, and Mitch Moss. Dude,
I told you I.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Love your team.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I'm telling you, man, you're in the era of good feeling.
You're a Super Bowl contender for the next ten years.
You're gonna be great. I'm not lying to you. Respond
I love your team. I know you hate that I
say that, but I.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Do because you do it with this cheshire cat grin. Well,
you're trying to scare me by jumping on board, but
as if you know it's going to capsize the boat.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Okay, no, no, no, but there is a butt here.
There is a butt for this one right here. Caleb
Laves is a captain. Yeah, the Bears named eight captains today.
You have eight captains.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Well, they all serve a different purpose.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Eight Yeah, that's one out of every six and a
half people on that team as a captain.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah, and three out of four Dennis prove of some
brand of two bases. So I mean, what do you
want from that?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I mean, what what is that? How do you have
eight captains? Is there a hierarchy of cat you're the Well,
we have the captain captain, then there's a captain, then
there's the private captain, then there's a lieutenant colonel captain,
and then there's the captain. They only have one.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I don't think they have to disclose what they're responsibility.
They do because it's stupid to have eight captains.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
What is that eight.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Guys that you decided you maybe just there's something in
their leadership style that you have to love.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
It's like me saying, I want eight groomsmen in mind,
I have eight best amount of people.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Do that?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
No, eight best men? No, No, it's enough.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
No, no, no, I'm where it comes to seven on
seven turnament before it's all over.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
It's flag football. Uh no, I've seen where. Okay, Hey,
I can't. I can't decide. So I'm gonna have two
best men. Awesome. I get that you have two best friends.
I get it. Can you have eight best men?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
We've seen it.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
No, we've not seen eight eight best men. What wedding
have you gone to? We got to we got eight
best man speeches? Okay, we gotta have.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
My regards to the gift eight.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah. My mom would always say that, don't go to
a don't go to a wedding out of town. Just
send money, Just send more money you would normally send.
Just always tried to explain the guys, you know, you
had a big event. I don't have to show up
right on the card, Please, Mike, don't show up. What
still sends you a gift. How about this? What if
instead of coming, I give you way more money than
I would, but still way less in the price of
(22:08):
me paying for two plane tickets in hotel for a
couple of days.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
When what if I do that, maybe a new suit something.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
What if I give you just way more money I need,
you know, dress shoes for a while, because that would
be like a like probably a three thousand dollars weekend
for me. What if instead I send you like five
hundred dollars and then I go to Vegas? Yeah, what
if I see you five hundred buck?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yeah, don't worry about don't worry bout mass me.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Col Cobt.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Marceides.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Is he that you have two tight ends that are captain? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
But Marcedes Lewis is like, no, I he's the wise
old man in the corner.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
The guy's been playing forever. Due Like, how do you
feel if you are the third tight end? You're the
only one that's not a captain? I must I must
have no leadership skills whatever, because the other two guys
are both captains.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Maybe they just have more leadership skills than you have
to Now you know why, because their captains they can
teach you. That's Marsides Lewis. I'm telling you he's sitting
in the corner and if you got a problem, he's
the guy to solve. Is Marcedes Lewis col Comet's captain?
I think so, No, he can't be because co Comet's
a captains. Yeah, but I think who's your third tight like?
Who's your third tight end?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Is?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I think both captains of the one person of that guy?
Come on, man, DJ Moore? Okay, then we saw him
and his kids at the ice cream museum and everything else.
You got a big contract, yeah, okay, he'll teach you
out and negotiate.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Tremaine Edmonds and TJ Edwards a linebackers.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Okay, so you have two linebackers a captain.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You got Alan Johnson and Kevin Byerd okay, okay, and
then the Williams.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Okay, all right. That's eight captains when you really need three.
Need an offensive captain, defensive captain, special teams captain. That's
it in the end, do.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
You really need any of them? No? Do your damn job.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
You have eight captains.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Come on, man, what are you doing a lot of
it's just understood what you here they decided to symbolically
make them.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Captain, they actually made them captains.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Why why is this bad?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Because what you're saying, why what you're saying is instead
of having true leaders on the team, we're just gonna
give this to a bunch of people. Why Why would
I listen to Caleb Williams if DJ Moore is gonna
tell me something different answer I like better? Why would
I listen to cole Comet if I'm going to get
a better answer from Marcedes Lewis or tormentalized? Why would I?
(24:24):
Why would I?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
It's like cool Jay and toys when he had his
military meal. When stuff is separated out linebackers are over
there the secondary.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
You got two guys. Caleb Williams really the captain. How
come there's no running back over Well, they're fighting right where.
The punter's not a captain, the kickers not as the
kid from Iowa. So that's gonna be fun.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Like you want to talk about a guy that's going
to be interesting in postgame interviews, that's the guy Caleb.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Hey, we're making you a captain. What a leader? What
a great story. Yeah, but we got seven other guys.
Oh okay, So it's kind of really watered down. I'm
not really captain. Captain you're gonna send You're gonna send
eight guys out there for the coin top damn right now,
if there was a fight, I agree with that, Like
if the coin toss would break into a fight. Okay,
(25:12):
guys out there. You said eight guys out there.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
You got eight guys that are witnessed. You can potentialians
by the official.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
You can take care of the three captains the other
team sends out and the officials. I think you pretty
match up.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
So on a given week, that team has to come
up with five more captains.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I don't have a three five guys. Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
That means you don't think you have another leader amongst
the other forty nine guys on your roster, fifty guys on.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Your roster who wants to be a captain. I go
out there, go out there, Go go out there. Take
the didn't do that with your team. Just go The
one thing I would do is at the end, if
someone was playing their last game and uh, for whatever
reason they were leaving, they were you know what, you
were about to cut them, I would yeah, listen, you're done.
I would let them go out for the beginning, or
(25:59):
let and bring the lineup up to the to the
home plate on pilot's let them go out for the
beginning when we choose the sage the coin toss for
soccer no at the end. I would do that, but
that's a special thing. This is no.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
No.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
We got eight guys, eight guys. Why does this bother you?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Eight guys because it's nonsensical to make eight guys captains.
You know what. They're just trying to get in line
with what they're over under for wins.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Is are they worried okay? Half okay? Are they worried
that if they have some kind of excursion, like one
captain is in charge of every six people so people
don't get lost, like when you go on a school truck.
I mean that's a pretty good way to do. Like
you have eight chaperones. You're in charge of these six kids.
You're in charge of these legally, I think you're in
charge of those. For insurance coverage, I think that helps.
So you have the ridiculousness of the Bears eight captains,
(26:46):
and then there's the one captain that was named today.
Russell Wilson is a Steelers captain.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
They got.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I think Kenny Pickett is still a captain. He's not
giving back a See he's Jordan Childs. I'm gonna hold
onto this bronze medal till you come get it from me. Uh.
But Russell Wilson is the Steelers team captain, and look
they all say glowing things about him and being a captain.
All right, that's great, and I understand.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
But because because they got four.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I can keep looking at this. Okay, it's still but
that's one too many you have? You have five too many? Well,
who wins a fight?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
WI?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
How are you gonna agree on a coin toss? Well,
you have the captain, These four want heads, these four
want tails. You need a ninth captain.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Got the eight guys for all of the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
You have nine. We're gonna pack the captaincy so we
can get the call we want. We don't like what
we're getting from these nine guys.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Keep yelling party lines.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
We're gonna put more captains out there so we can
get that coin toss we want. I want that result
that I want. I want heads, and if I need
to pack the captaincy to get him, I will do it.
You will call heads, We will call heads. On this team.
Uh No, But but Wilson, it's like again, this is
more and is it weird for a quarterback to not
be a captain? Yes, but this is just an extension
(28:08):
of Hey, here's the kid gloves and the and the
power of positive thinking treatment that we keep pushing on
Russell Wilson, like the Steelers believe, we have to treat
him like this. We have to do this for him.
We have to really make sure that everything is is
neat and a pin and he knows he can't have
any negative thoughts in his head at all. But here's
(28:28):
what great guy. We think when the reality is he's
going to be a captain on the bench and Justin
Fields are going to go and pull that c off
his chest and put it on when he goes out
there week four. Because Russell Wilson is a plotter, give
it to me, give it him coming off, now, give
it to me, Give it to me. This is it's
an extension of the kid gloves and how they've treated
Russell Wilson. And I don't understand why the Steelers do Again,
(28:52):
the more time goes on, I go, do the Steelers
really know offensively what they're doing? Their plan and so
many different.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Questions I think, but the Russell in the kid glove treatment,
I'm saying to myself, why this is not a guy
If he needs that, how long is he really gonna
be your quarterback first and complete? I think he does
need some of that. But again, it goes back to
ball security. We talked about it a little bit earlier
and it's it's a resounding theme in all of this.
As much as you love the frenetic pace and potential
(29:21):
big play, particularly adding the element of using your legs
or whatever that Justin Fields does going back to his
days at Chicago and we saw it even in the
preseason game, ball security is a big problem. And when
you're operating with waffer thin Margins, right, because that's what
the Steelers are gonna be right. Get this, this is
(29:41):
the power of positive or negative thinking. You know what
the Steelers over under for wins is eight, it's eight
and a half. It sam as the Bears one sunshine,
lollipops and rainbows the others. Seems like it's burning in
the fifth ring of head if you were to believe
the narratives around But we.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Want we want one captain for every win we're expected
to get this year. That's what we want to run out.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
But for Russell Wilson, it's the all right, if we're
gonna be a defensive team and we're gonna try to
run the ball with our two headed monster in the backfield, right,
get Harris and Warren going and whoever else mixes in
corderial Patterson being there. Now see him mix in a
bit in the run game that you're only scoring twenty
points a game, right, and so one possession, one fumble,
(30:32):
one air and throw. Now he's gonna take a bunch
of sacks and you're gonna want to tear all your
hair out, there's no question about it. But will he
have that one negative play that absolutely dooms you? And
I think that's the fear now making him a captain, Well,
that's that's the year old, so very.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Public and here it's a big story today and there's
quotes everywhere on and it's like the propping up of
Russell Wilson. I just shake my head and go, you
know you're gonna replace him a question. You know he's
not gonna make it. He's going he's a oh oh no,
he would he would go right past Stone engine into
something else like, oh, this was this is even longer
ago than Stonehenge. I'm going all the way back to
(31:08):
the Crusades. I'm going back. I'm going back to when
Alexander the Great conquered most of Europe by the time
he was twenty one. Right now, let's find out what's
trending in the wide world of sports. For a man
who actually bet against Alexander the Great, oh, getting out
of his home country.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
He got great odds.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
And he lost a lot on that. It's Steve Desager
with what's trending.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
I really thought he was just Alexander the very good.
Yeah you went against him.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
He was Hall of Fame, by the way, when he
was twenty one. I mean it was oh yeah, done over,
that was it.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
We've seen a lot of first round quarterbacks like that.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
This is true.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
They're twenty one. Not implying anything about your discussion this.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Oh no, listen, Sam Doarnold, No, no, no, not not
not many guys have done that.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Marriage Looking at the NFL rulebook for this year, it
literally says a team's captains, you are limited to six
at midfield before the start of the game.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
That's going to be a fight now the Bears are
going to fight.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
Yes, and that includes honorary or inactive guys. Six people
acting as captains at midfield is the max? Okay, Yeah,
there's going to be some fights there. Bengals wide receiver
Jamar Chasemiss practice again today, wanting a new contract. Cincinnati
opens the NFL season for him this Sunday at home
against New England. Chase attended practice in street close today.
(32:25):
Forty nine Ers first round wide receiver Ricky Piersoll will
miss at least a month. He was placed on the
non football injury list, as was Chief's running back Clyde
Edwards Hilaire. Kansas City wide receiver Marquise Brown did not
practice again today. He will not play in Thursday's season
opener against Baltimore due to a bad shoulder. Ravens star
tight end Mark Andrews just returned to practice Friday. He'd
(32:46):
missed over two weeks after a car accident. Steelers running
back Jalen Warren participated in individual drills. Vikings wide receiver
Jordan Addison practiced after the ankle injury. Dolphins wide receivers
Tyreek Hill and Jalen Watts each practice fully. Chargers edge
rusher Joey Bosa is no longer wearing a club over
his hand, which he broke about a month ago. In
(33:08):
college football, Tonight BC a winner at Florida State twenty
eight to thirteen. The final Boston College led early third
quarter twenty one six BC, with only one penalty Tonight,
no turnovers and over two hundred and sixty yards rushing
against the Seminoles. AP pointing out the Florida States program
the previous fifteen years or so, when it was ranked
(33:29):
in the top ten and the opponent was unranked. Florida
State's record was thirty nine and two. This year, oh
and two. They were preseason number ten. Won't be when
the new rankings come out tomorrow. NOBB be a little lower, Yes,
a little bit lower, maybe fifty. Maybe Jessica Pagoula won
or fourth, maybe ahead of Florida receiving votes. No, they
(33:50):
will not. At least the Dublin game. It was a
last second field goal by Georgia Tech Florida. I never
got the impression that they were going to win that
game over the weekend. No, No, there was that might
happen again in other games this year, maybe a few,
just a few Jessica Pacoula whatater fourth round match at
the US Open tonight. The late game went to the
Yankees eight to four over Texas. Garrett Cole the winning
(34:12):
pitcher nine strikeouts in six innings. Jack Lder took the loss.
The Orioles still a half game behind the Yanks for
first in the AL East. Baltimore beat the White Sox
thirteen to three. The White Sox have lost eleven games
in a row. In fact, the White Sox now trail
Cleveland in the AL Central by forty eight and a
half games. Baltimore in twenty eighteen finished sixty one games
(34:35):
out in its division. Apparently that's the record for the
Divisional era, but that was an Orioles team that only
lost a mere one fifteen. The White Sox couldn't blow
past that mark this year because the record number of
losses in a season is one to twenty by the
expansion Mets of nineteen sixty two, no divisions back then,
they finished sixty and a half games out in the
(34:56):
National League.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah, but they were notoriously a second half team that year.
They were much better in the second half, third half.
Maybe this.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
I don't think the second half was any better than
the first half. Cleveland and Minnesota each one on the road.
Dodgers and Padres each one in that La win. It
was eleven to six at Arizona Freddy Freeman with two
homers five RBIs. The Dodgers won the season series against Arizona.
No one game playoffs these days. If there's a tie
break between those two, Dodgers won the series. Cincinnati ended
(35:24):
Houston's five game winning streak five to three. Oakland with
a solo homer bottom of the ninth beat Seattle five
to four, and the Mets won their fifth straight.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Couldn't do it any justice by trying to dive in

any whack? Maybe later Remember they were feuding with ABC,
another bad creation, all because they did Aishaisha.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
You are the girl that I never had? And oh
yeah it was a feud. Yeah wait, so like boy
groups are feuding. Okay, that was the nineties. Many, that
was the nineties.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
It got press, it got people to go maybe sample
and by.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Was life play in the nineties. Well, I'll tell you
kid groups where kids are like twelve and thirteen years old.
They feuded. They had beef. I'm telling you they had beef.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
They had a good short run.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
It's all good. H speaking of beef. Me, what's what's
what's my beef?
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Dave?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Speaking of beef. The football story that I wish we
didn't have this weekend, the surprise. Hey, if you have
DirecTV guess what you don't get to watch USCLSU and
you don't get to watch the game tonight between Florida
State and Boston College. It's been a story, albeit in
the background, for the last few weeks. The dispute between
(37:17):
DirectTV and ESPN couldn't come to terms on a carriage fee.
So twenty minutes before the USCLSU game, big font up
White over Black. Hey, we couldn't come to an agreement.
We don't have this channel anymore. Good luck now was there.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
And historically when these have come up, it's like, you know,
on this date your cable provider and hasn't like they
basically take out an head to say, hey, this is coming,
this is a problem, and questioning of whether it'd gone
on the lower third right on the scroll at any point.
So like we warned you, but it's like anything else,
(37:55):
and you know, you get severe weather warnings or whatever.
Do you pay attention when you're warning?
Speaker 4 (38:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
No, no, But it's fine.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
I'm not going on, but I'm not leaving.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
I'm not not part of that.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
OK, I'm twenty miles from there. I'm perfectly fine.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
You know. So that kind of thing where you figure
it's a bunch of nonsense and they'll figure it out
before I need to watch my game.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
But this is what makes me hate DirecTV and hate
ESPN for doing this, is that this was something that
was foisted upon us all of a sudden, you get it. Hey,
Oh so if we were watching the channel religiously, maybe
once in a while there would be a scroll to buy. Hey,
we have a dispute coming up. If we can't come
to an agreement, we're going to discontinue the channel. Oh
(38:37):
but here, we're gonna do it twenty minutes before a
game you really want to see. And it's gonna be
before a day where there's two games everybody really wants
to see because the Labor Day Monday night game has
become a thing. Don't always have the greatest teams playing,
but you have a good matchup. And what they decided
to do is say, you know what, we want you
to be the political football on this. Well, this is
(38:59):
not my fight. You know, I pay for this and
I didn't pay for DIRECTIV and I'm pissed what they
did because this is something you guys figure it out.
But now you're making me a part of it and
saying that, Well, now that you're pissed, you will help
push it one way or the other, because either you're
gonna be mad at ESPN or you're mad at direct TV,
and eventually it's gonna get resolved. No, don't do this
(39:20):
to me. This is this is not my fight. This
is for you guys to figure out, because you don't
invite me in to make any questions, say what I
want or how much I would pay? No, no, no, But
now it's all We're going to do this right before
the game starts, so you get screwed.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Well, why are you bringing me into this? This is you, guys,
and you should have warned me way ahead of time.
I'm not gonna have this game.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
You should tell me, make sure, over over, make no
stone unturned that you're not gonna be able to show
me this game. And I should be able to know
so I can make plans instead twenty minutes before, Hey,
guess what, we don't have it. Oh, we're gonna do
it right before a big game, just to screw you.
I hate that they did it this way.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Well I would have been kind of funny. Is if
at some point it broke in for an advertise paid
by Disney to get the ESPN Hulu bundle?
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
I want to see this game right now? Wait?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Is this the one that the courts of law said
we can't do and we have to appeel this or
is this something new? I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
No, just the old bundle, not the new one with
the with Fox and everything else. No, this is the
old butt, not the new but but the old bundle.
I could get the No, I can't get either of those,
all right, But it's all that chaos, right because if
you really want to search it out, like, there's plenty
of apparatuses on the marketplace to go get stuff antenna wise,
you don't actually have to have rabbit ears, but you
(40:36):
can also do all the different streaming services and really
piecemeal your way back to greatness.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
