You can lock it in. Had ripped a knob off,
so tonight not a great night for baseball drama. George
Kirby saw to that very early in this game. Uh,
all the Mariners come up incredibly weak in your first
(01:18):
ALCS game in nearly a quarter of a century.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Started with the band up to zip.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, I've got and all of a sudden, the floodgates
open and Kirby can't get anybody out. And he stayed
and they, you know, Wilson keeps him in the game
a long time, like I spell, k you gotta go
get him at some point, right these stops already dead.
He does, he doesn't have it tonight, he doesn't have it.
And and they left, but obviously didn't matter because wherever
(01:45):
they brought in got lit up. Uh thirteen to four
as your final. And I am stunned that this was
the I thought the Mariners, the emotion, the way they
were playing, the way they were hitting. They're picking up
where they left off a day ago in Toronto, and
it's gonna be three zip and the Mariners are going
to the World Series. And instead the Blue Jays came
and just knocked the crap out of the baseball and
(02:06):
they made the potentially extended this to be a soon.
They got it in the next game, but they kept us.
They kept it. It's still a series so far going
into games.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
No that's the thing, right. He came in and it
was all right, where are the big bats? What are
we doing?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And then they had been wrapping Fire's succession, I mean,
Vladimir and grow Junior, who has been invisible. He was
zero for seven with a walk the first two games.
He goes three for three nearly the cycle. He mentioned
Springer with the home run, and it didn't matter who
the next pitcher was, working at bats, getting deep into
counts and getting hitters pitches and just turning on them.
(02:41):
I mean, it was just a conga line over the
course of the game, and it just seemed like it
was never gonna end. I mean, we sat here that
fifth inning went forever, like wait, it's only the sixth.
So I'm like, all right, there's still a chance. Like
I was trying to sell, we're on radio, we got
a live game. It's like, come on, like, no, there's
nothing I tried.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So that was your night in Major League Baseball. Just
like that.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
We four that's it, all right, Ah, well, we'll get
back at it.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah. Three big late breaking stories in the NFL the
last couple hours. Going to hit him right now number one,
And I'm really stunned. At this The Panthers play the
Jets on Sunday, and there's a question as to how
much Rico Daddell is going to actually touch the football. Now,
this is a guy who nearly broke the record and
(03:29):
had back to back two hundred yard games for the
first time in NFL history, nearly had four hundred yards
rushing the last two weeks. But now Chewba Hubbard is
healthy and Dave Canal is today and the Panthers talked
about the division of labor between the two, and Canalis says, well,
you never want to say a guy loses a job,
dude to injury. I don't like it, but you have
to see what's going on in the field. You know
he's gonna touch. You know, Rico Daddell's going to touch
(03:50):
the football a lot. You know, Chewba Hubbard's a guy
that has had good times for them. Obviously, I'm seeing
this and I'm going, dude, why are you making it
more difficult. It's like the Magic john'son Twitter game. Why
are you making it more difficult than it has to be.
Rico Daddle gets the ball twenty five times, Okay, the
guy's he's got two two hundred yard games basically in
a row. And I get that there's no revenge game
this week. He is not playing the Cowboys, but still
(04:12):
he can find a way to hate Aaron Glenn. I'm
sure you can find a way to do that. Uh, dude,
you get the football. Twenty five Cuba Hubbard understands. Hey, dude,
we kind of have to feed the hot hand here.
I think he gets it. I understand. I don't know
why this is something they feel they have to dance around.
This is a guy that's had two weeks in the
NFL that has everybody's jaws dropping that he could actually
do this. And you're gonna say, yeah, maybe we kind
(04:34):
of weave in Chubba Hubbard little bit. No, dude, you
give him the football until his legs fall off. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I think part of it becomes the question of how
much is your system now working that you're proving that
you've got a couple of running backs that can get
after it. You've got Canalis, who, let's face it, you
know something we talked about a long time ago. You
got him and anybody that Baker Mayfield touches. It's a
sphere of influence now as a guy that was discarded.
(04:59):
Now he's a kid maker, but canallis and it's you've
got a system that's starting to work and it's making
life a little easier for your young quarterbacks. So if
you got two guys that can run the football, last
time out, before he got hurt, Hubbard was averaging four
point nine a carry on his ten carries.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I like the idea of thirty thirty five touches between
the two of them. You got two guys that can
run the football, go get it. I mean it was
an only twelve hundred yard rusher with ten touchdowns a
year ago and was running pretty well to start the year. Yeah,
and now you've got rico'dowell who has been absolutely I mean,
I'm not saying you continue to give, but your tragedy
of this game has to be he's our belty, let's
(05:39):
run the football.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
He's our belt. Let's give it to him. We'll get
if he can't do it, we'll get it to you.
And at some point, but you can't ignore what he's done. Nah,
I'm running them both.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I'm gonna beat the hell out of that Jets defensive
line that you love so much, especially when I'm working
on a short field because your offense stakes. Yeah, it's true,
and there's nobody to throw the football too exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Meanwhile, George Pickens off to an incredible start this year
with Dallas right all the you know, no one's had
this kind of start with one hundred yard games the
first six weeks of the season. Was asked today about
his future because he's coming up free agent after this year.
It's why Dallas is able to get him in the
offseason from Pittsburgh, and he said, yeah, he loves it
in Dallas, but just wants to be somewhere to put
(06:18):
his talent on display. Wouldn't commit to saying I want
to stay a Dallas cowboy. Now you think this is
awful for Dallas. You think this is all my goodness,
I can't believe that this guy's coming here. He's finally
realizing all of his potential, and he says he's not
even sure he wants to be here. Here's the thing, Dallas,
thank him for this season, and at the end of
(06:39):
this year, when some team wants to give him five
years and whatever, one hundred million dollar contract, you say
good luck the rest of the way, because I can't
pay the last few years. I can't trust paying him
long term is going to be a good investment. You
saw him basically talk and act his way out of Pittsburgh.
(07:00):
Gave him a lot of chances. But whether it was
not blocking, not running routes, taking bad penalties, whatever it was,
George Pickens couldn't find a way to be successful, and
a lot of it was his own fault. Now, yes,
you had a new lease on life with Dallas and
you have a great year. That's great, But yeah, he's
the he's the he's the guy. Look at it.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Go.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I am so nervous if I give him a lot
of money over a long period of time. What am
I really gonna get once I pay this guy?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, he's the latest in a long line of guys
that were in that steeler locker room, in that wide
receiving quadrant that probably needs, uh, I don't know, the
sage brush or an exorcism or however strong you want
to go on it, because I mean, how many times
is Tom Winn had to be like yeah, I love
you until I don't and we move on right, Pickens
(07:45):
being the latest and we watched it all World Talent
Touchdowns five straight weeks. He and Dak Prescott. Clearly it
works and when Cede Lamb comes back, it's fantastic. But
I'm looking at him going, am I are you a
franchise tag potential guy? Because giving you five years or
four years with an exorbitant amount of guaranteed money.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
How do you think that ends? Well? How do you
think he'd respond to getting the franchise tag? Salty? Yeah?
Do you think you've did this this kind of year?
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I say, go find he ever may be in charge
of your players, and see what he did there.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
He go away years where he needed to show he
was great because he couldn't find a way to do
it in Pittsburgh. You're, oh, but he's gonna get paid
a lot of money. Still you're keeping them, you know,
focused on the contract coming up someplay. No, he had
time in Pittsburgh to show you, and he still said, yeah, no,
not into it, not into it here? Uh yeah, not
paying him, future Jets, not paying him, Oh absolutely, future
(08:44):
future Jeff.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
All world talent again, stipulate to that. Meanwhile, there's just
too much that goes with it.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Maybe now we know why Troy Aikman apparently hates Caleb Williams. Okay, uh.
The big headline coming off a Monday Night's game, Troy Aikman.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Less than.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Brilliant about the travail's and accomplishments of Caleb Williams in
the Bears win. You would have thought he was a
member of the Commander's broadcast. Oh it was, yeah. And
here's the thing. Caleb Williams is becoming a star. Sorry,
but he is. Two weeks in a row, two games
in a row, he's brought the Bears down for a
(09:22):
game winning score. Is you see his numbers? He's putting
up numbers. Everything is great, right, The Bears are three
and two. He's with the right coach. He was rocky
in the beginning. But I told you the air of
good feeling was here, and it's here. But yet people
are still gonna want to hate Caleb Williams, and apparently
Troy Aikman does as well. Right, all the stuff from
the broadcast him not really giving him credit for the
(09:42):
for the big pass to to uh DeAndre Swift all
a defender fell down. It's you made the play. You
made the play. It was a pick play. It wasn't
made to be the like all of a sudden, he's
mad about a play that was made by the Bears
that helped them win a game. Like what what what?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
What?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What kind of what kind of of standard are you
trying to set here? Why are you so? Why does
it seem like it's so personal with Caleb Williams. Well,
now we get the story today that in the big
production meeting, you know, the ones that people don't want
Tom Brady to be in because he can't own the
Raiders and be in these production meetings. Well, he has
to take off of the the Google glasses.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
He can't wear those because then he records everything he
sees in that office, don't you know?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Caleb Williams had things, as he said, I have things
to do with Hallis Hall couldn't make the production meeting
with Troy Aikman, he said. He reached out to Aikman
after to apologize I couldn't do it, and never heard
back from him, and then he told Tom Brady all
the plays instead, here's what we're gonna do to you guys,
and we play you guys next. So now, maybe Aikman's criticism,
(10:49):
which seemed kind of personal, makes sense, But overall this
is a really bad look for Troy Aikman, who over
the past couple of years has just seemed much more
combat and negative and salty than he has in his
NFL career. Like I don't know if it was, you know,
leaving Fox and going to Monday Night Football, going to ESPN,
whatever it is, but he is much more of a
(11:12):
combative analyst on the air than he ever has been.
And it's really tough sometimes sometimes it's a tough listen
to just hear him say that's a bad play when okay,
the end result is, uh, they're gonna win the game. Howard,
can you not give him credit for a play? So
you didn't want to give anybody credit on the play,
not DeAndre? So the defender fell down, Okay, so everything
(11:33):
else was done, the blocking that happened, Caleb williams Son
to the right receiver, all that was out. Really, you
never had a defender catch Troy, never had a guy
fall down, and never had that happen to you. I mean,
it never had anything like that, Like, like it really
seems personal, but he just seems so overly negative and
and again it's it's just when you get combative as
(11:54):
an analyst and you can't seem to give credit when
someone makes a big play, someone makes a good play.
I get all the fender fell down, but he seemed
to I'm going over the I'm going over the line
to not give credit to the Bears for making a
play when I'm sorry. There's two columns. There's a win column,
there's a lost column, and the Bears find a way
to put in the win column. I get that. Maybe
Caleb Williams, maybe a couple of times, could throw the
(12:16):
football lead his receiver a little bit more. I'm throwing
to the shoulder. I want you to turn and run
on that's you know, trust me with that. I get that,
But that comes with being in the NFL for more
than you know, one season in six games. Really I
see that. I go, is it about missing the meeting?
Because again he gets salted the tray. He goes zero
to salty in in you know, less than six seconds,
(12:37):
Like it's less than going to it from zero to
sixty in a car like that's been Troy Aikman.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
It's funny because I theorize that the meeting had something
to do with it, and then when the Williams presser
happened and kudos to him, right, because he also tried
to own it, saying, look, I missed it right, right,
So like saying, you can put some of the blame
on me, but let's talk about this as adults. So
good on him for airing it out because it was
something that was in all the interviews Ben Johnson did
(13:03):
in Chicago and any national media he did coming out
of that win. It was one of the first questions,
did you hear what Troy had to say? What did
you think of the tone? What did you think of that?
And he and he's going to be quick to clap back.
I mean that's the other thing for Ben Johnson, love
him or not, He's not a shrinking violet, right.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
He is going to say what he.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Believes, which is why you have the issues and the
bristling that happened in camp and will continue to happen
with Cayleb Williams. When they disagree, it's going to be
an issue and it'll blow up. This is a far
far from fully baked cake at this point for the Bears.
There's still a lot that needs to be done. But
when they do perform well like this just reminds me
(13:43):
of a couple of years ago, we were watching Thursday
night football and there were a couple of broadcasts where
aw Michaels looked like he'd and sounded like he would
have rather been anywhere else. Oh yeah, So pair the
two of them together, I'd be one hell of a listen.
I don't want to either where al was and and
look they spur and then you get better games whatever.
Life is good. But in the end, it's not great
(14:05):
football all two seventy two. But they're all we got,
so hug them. Okay, just give credit where credit's due.
Exit out about a Fresca exit swallow. There're just a
bad look for Akman, just really bad look from coming.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Off this Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Fox

Zoom zom zoom zum zoom zom zum zum zum zum
zum zum zum zum zum zum zoom. All right, get
what I want. Since you guys were all danced together,
I'll go full. Since you were gone, I have a
fun little project for the four of you to work
together on. We'll decide if it's fun. Fantastic as I
(16:42):
told you, my wife's My wife does trivia every Wednesday night. Okay,
Cabby stretch Ken, what fantastic four stretch you can be?
You can be? Mister fantastic is the name? Yes, mister
fantastic is that his name? Stretch? So the four of
you gonna work together on this. I'm the thing so
my life does. Yeah, that tracks it works? Yeah. Uh.
(17:06):
The big question, the final question of the night was
in sports. All right, I'm gonna give you, guys three
minutes to give me the answer. Three minutes work together
to give me the answer on this right. First word?
All right, now, I want to know. I want to
know the answer is of the some of all of
(17:30):
these things I'm going to ask you in fee some
in feet in feet, No ready, here are the things
I want you to know. You're gonna add all these
up in feet, in feet, in feet the width of
an NHL goal, the height of an MLS goal, the
(17:50):
height of an NBA hoop, the distance between bases on baseball,
and we've decided this is not fun. And the length
of an NFL field including end zones in feet, yes,
how about this? How do we do this? Instead? I'll
give you the total number and you tell me what
the correct answer is for each one of those. That's better.
(18:12):
Let's do that. So with an NHL goal, height of
an MLS goal, height of an NBA hoop, distance between
baseball bases, length of the NFL field including end zones
in feet, the answer is four hundred and seventy four. Okay,
So you four figure it out, work together. No, the
(18:32):
first one's easy, okay. NHL goal, yep, it's the same
rule as out a strip club six feet six feet.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Say it's about five feet, so six ft?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Is it? Six seven six seven seven six feet.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Six feet?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Okay? Hold on, we're talking about height or with height
I swear sorry, with of an NHL goal, height of
an MLS goal, sorry, an NBP, length of a baseball
dis between base yeah, okay. And then the NFL field
plus end zones right in feet in feet Okay, I
played enough soccer.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It's eight feet is it?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Are you sure? Positive? Okay? You played no soccer, it's
not eight feet, it's so eight feet it is eight feet,
Alex mlf No the height you said, the width? No, no, no,
it's a width of the hockey met height of an MLS.
That's what I So you got those two. You got
(19:29):
the two hard ones.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Well, no, it's baseball. Baseball's easy. Oh yeah, he's a
hard ones. Yeah, baseball it's ninety.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Feet, right, Baseball is ninety feet you want.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Yeah, between bases. Okay, And so now we're.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Just down to what NBA ten feet? Very good? Now
in feet a football field, counting the end zones.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Okay, so add up everything we just said and subtracted
from the main number he gave us.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Rather than convete feet to yards, you would rather just
do it the other way. Yes, an NFL is three
hundred feet going the other way, and there is it
one hundred and But you're counting the end zones. Count
the end zone, other ten yards one another thirty feet?
Is it one fifty one? Counting the end zone? Must
(20:14):
have my way would have worked counting the do you
guys know how many feet are in the yard? No,
three feet in the yard? Okay, how many yards are
we talking about? One hundred let's say one hundred and
s end zones one hundred and twenty, one hundred and twenty. Yeah,
thirty sixty. I hope you guys all have accountants.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Yes, I do, don't.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
The answer is three sixty. You guys got it, three sixty,
ninety ten, eight and six.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Very nice guys, we did it.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
That's worked together on that very good, good team. It
was weird. I thought you would go with the easy
ones first, but Frostberg got the hardest one first, which
I thought the crease is the hardest one.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I'm just curious to see where they were going to
run with it. I'm like, all right, I got this,
go ahead.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
But the whole thing, okay, it's three feet and he
already do that. And so that was that was the
last question. And they actually figured it out because they
got them all except they didn't know the mls. So
they got them. They go okay, and they subtracted. Now
that's how they got it. So there you go. Nice job.
So they were given the four seventy four or did
you do that? I gave you the four you gave it.
But they didn't get that though, But I think they
(21:27):
got that as a hint. Your definition of fun is
very different than ours. That was a fun thing. That
was a fun thing, and what was it?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Was it fun?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I think I think I think it was thrilling. I
think Harmon had fun, Monci had fund Everything's thrilling. Yeah,
I've had a good day. You had fun. I'm awake,
I'm alive, I career together. I think you're lying you
had fun. I think you had fun. I mean told
you the dog the Dodgers rough two zip late everything.
So Shoh said that that his slump has nothing to
(21:57):
do with going both ways. Excuse me? Yeah, hey, okay,
let's uh, let's let's go to football. Hell, let's go
to football. Down football, So hey, both ways? I uh
we told you last night after the James Franklin story,
(22:21):
you know, Franklin getting fired by Penn State Wildcats. Enjoy, yes,
enjoy that. This is the most bat bananas crazy college
football season we've seen since that crazy one in two
thousand and seven where it was Kansas and Missouri and
West Virginia and Pittsburgh all at the end for the
national championship. Right, that was an insane year. This year
is like that. Teams are good, then they stinked in.
(22:43):
They're good again. Players that we thought were gonna be
good are not. You're seeing all these cinderellas in the
top eight. Indiana is a top five team. James Franklin,
who two weeks ago was in overtime against Oregon, is
now fired. Right, enjoy the bat bananas craziness and enjoy
this story as well, because this is like out of
a movie. According to reports, Bleacher Report had to say
(23:05):
a couple other sites Matt Matt Hayes of USA Today,
Florida head coach Billy Napier could be fired this weekend.
As soon as this weekend. Now Florida lost to Texas
A and M. They're starting too and four And listen,
I don't know that there's been a tougher four week
run in college football history the last twenty years than
(23:27):
what Florida's had to go through. Number three LSU, number four, Miami,
number nine, Texas number five, Texas A and M. That
you're talking about, you're talking about playing four top nine
teams in a month, Right, tell me a team that's
gonna come out with wins there, right, But I James,
but I get look that, you know, I get that.
You know you started out, you know, losing the South
(23:48):
Florida that was a big deal. But just think about
that for a second. That's a really tough run. But
this Billy Napier could be fired on Saturday they play
they play Mississippi State this Saturday because oh, by the way,
they got Georgia coming up. Like this is like stuff
out of a movie. You win this weekend, Napier, or
you're fired like I've never seen a win this weekend,
or you're fired a dictum thrown down and anything other
(24:13):
than the movies or television. I gotta win this week
right out of a job.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Well, I mean, you know, there's always the feet to
the fire, but yeah, this is some next level stuff, right,
So what do we got nine and a half point
favorite against Mississippi State?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Gotta win this week? Bill money line minus three fifty
two win fifty and a half. What's his buyout? It's
given him? Also forty nine million dollars about that it's
like twenty one million, which is like Florida is like,
oh yea, yeah, we're good. I gotta go do some
coaching clinic. One million in Florida is like a billion.
Uh yeah, but there's enough rich people in Florida. I
think I don't have to call one rich guy. They're
(24:49):
saying it's only twenty one million dollars. That's that's nothing. Yeah,
that's like I mean, if Penn Steak can afford forty
nine million for James Franklin, well they really hated him.
Yeah yeah, I mean, I mean he did help him
build back, because get the blank out of here, Jerry
Newheisl is getting people fired. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah no,
(25:09):
he just certainly didn't not help things. Uh So again,
just think about that when you think how crazy this
college football season is. I really, I go back to
two thousand and seven to find something crazy and we're
not even half way there.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
No, no, no, because I think about it. Klin Debor
folks wanted him gone three weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Oh yeah, out out now, wait a minute, we're for
Lincoln Riley's head. Yeah yeah, they're back in the top there.
U c l a dangerous there. I mean, there's just
also CLA can make the playoff, Mike, they can win
the Big Tech can win the Penn State next next
coach odds. You want to have some fun here, okay,
Ddy Matt Rule and Joe Brady at plus one point fifty.
(25:48):
Matt Rule has been a pretty popular name. I don't
know why. You know, he looked two years at Nebraska.
He's got Nebraska back in the top twenty five. They
were under five hundred the last three years. Matt Rule's
done a pretty good job. Man, He's not there.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I mean, I just hold up pictures as Sam Darnold
and Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
That's there. That's the NFL Nebraska football. They realized he
didn't have to recruit that tough times they were on
and now he's got my homes, right, he's got my
homes in college. So okay, he's got my homes cosplay
in college. He's good, it really is. He is leaning
into it. Talking about leaning in.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
He leans into that lean into the bay. You know
who's third on the board at a sixteen point seven percent,
implied Brian Brown.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, I know, he did. No, he did Syracuse no
favors with his president. Signetti is next at fourteen point three.
He's gonna be in there for every opening. The Signetti
he's the he's the he's got the big guy who's
got pirate, Steve bringing a treasure chest at him. Man,
that is said, that is some kind Well that's what
Florida would do. I'm sure right do this. Yeah, come on,
(26:52):
come on down here, Lane Kiff and next along with
Matt Campbell, Bill O'Brien. Wow, Bill O'Brien, he would trade
all the players. Jean Gruden. Wow. Oh, Now I think
they would say, hey, we saw how this is working
in Carolina with Belichick. Yeah, I don't know so much.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah, we also remember the last time you were a
coach it didn't go quite so well, and the time
before that not so much. Even if you're winning your
lawsuit against the NFL, that doesn't help things.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
And then many dias. Wow, okay, at about six percent
in chance. So there you go. There's your list. And
he was there that as the defensive coordinator and did
really well, got the gig of Duke and that's that.
You know. I could see that.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Ryan Brown third boy, he was only moderately more intelligible
than Mike McDaniel was a week ago.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
And take fran Brown. Please, let's find out what's trending
in the wide world of sports from Moncia Bolanos, who
has the width and length of everything that happened tonight
in sports and what's trending all the things, just not
in feet.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
That's where I don't know. I'm not good with with
any met charge.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Okay, like football, and I knew that you yards from
the feet from base base, but like, okay.

stupid Grant, Okay, Grant Grant. There was a great There
(28:37):
was a great one of my favorite uh uh cartoons,
and I was a kid. I think it was bugs.
Bunny was on a quiz show in the and the
question was Who's buried in Grant's tomb? And the whole
thing was him trying to get the answer, and he
finally says the answer. The guy says, the answer is Napoleon.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
That's what you should have said, and that it would
have been more loss. I would have been more lost.
The Blue Jays look in their first two games of
the ALCS, but they weren't.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
In Game three, they found their offense eighteen hits, five
home runs, Vladivig Guerrero Junior perfect from the plate four
of four, and they crushed the Mariners thirteen to four.
George Springer also hit his twenty second postseason home run. Also,
Cal Rawly hit a home run and the loss and
Soda Julio Rodger gez now Seattle Stilly's the series two
to one. Game four Thursday. That's gonna start at eight
(29:26):
thirty Eastern time. It's also Game three of the NLCS
on Thursday, Brewers and Dodgers. First pitch from Dodgers Stadium
is at six Eastern times.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
And in case you.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Missed this, the Orioles are apparently interested in interviewing Albert
Poohols to be their new manager.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
And we're here talking about coaches in college football. Well,
Albert pooh Hoosts, you know, may not be an Angels manager.
Maybe he hosts to Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Everybody wants Albert.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Everybody wants to I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
In the NFL week seven kicks off with Thursday Night
football between the Bengals and the Steelers, but Cincinnati has
did their press rusher Trey Hendrickson as questionable because of
a hip injury.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
A couple of players return.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
To practice who were on ir Chargers pass rusher Khalil Mack,
Cowboys wide receiver CD Lamb Broncos linebacker Drake Greenlaw, who
actually hasn't played this entire season because of a quad injury.
He also returned to practice today, but no practice for
Rams wide receiver pukuin Akua because of an ankle injury.
In NBA news, the king signed Russell Westbrook to a
one year deal love Westbrook. They also have agreed with
(30:27):
Ford Keegan Murray on a five year, one hundred and
forty million dollar rookie contract extension.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Lebron James, dealing with his sciatica, is going to take a.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Patient approach before his Lakers season debut, with the expectation
that he could return early November, but they may push
the timeline back if needed.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
ESPN with the news on the ice. Four games happened
on Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
The Sabers defeated the Senators eight four, Red Wings over
the Panthers for one, Blackhawks crushed the Blues eight three.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
And the Mammoth took down the Flames three to one.
Happy Birthday, Harmon, Thank.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
You very much, Monci. Yes, now you just heard minds
to bringing the story of Lebron James right now is
not gonna get looked at until the end of October
and then potentially couldn't come back until sometime in November. Again,
this is why we're ahead of the curve. What did
we tell you opening night of the Lakers preseason their
(31:20):
first practice, Lebron couldn't make it because of his bad glute,
and instead he was on a live stream dancing and
taking shots. Right. Lebron knows everything he is doing right.
This is not something Oh my god, I'm not just
doing this. It's so awkward with Lebron and the Lakers.
I still can't believe he's actually gonna take the court
for them, right because they want him gone. He would
(31:42):
like to be gone, but there's no match. There's no
easy solution right now. So what did I say first
day of training camp? He's gonna be around the Lakers
for the bare minimum of time he has to. I
don't want to be here anymore than maybe I just
come to the games. But already it's now, I'm not
here for the preseason. I'm not gonna start the season.
(32:02):
I mean, is he gonna be I can't even tell
he's gonna be a Laker.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
The deadline, he's gonna give a Christmas president of showing
up against the Rockets.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I still can't even believe he's gonna actually take the
court for the Lakers this year. Just because things are
so awkward, They've shunted into the side. Nobody puts Lebron,
no one puts baby in the corner. No one shunts
Lebron to the side. He's not a supporting player in
the Luca dahnsa chack. But that's what the Lakers have
decided to do. He is going to be around then
the absolute bare minimum, until the rubber hits the road
(32:30):
sometime during the season for either a trade, something happens.
Because this is just so incredibly awkward, and now you're
seeing this play out even more awkwardly, where oh yeah, yeah, yeah, hey,
uh not going to be around and uh yeah, now
it's not gonna be till till the season starts. And
what tonight he was already he was. He was doing stuff.
You know, Hey, I'm not I'm not gonna be around
(32:50):
Lebron is visible on a night where it's announced he's
not gonna be with the team for la while because
he's still dinged up right. I mean this is absolutely
each side is raising the state with what they're they're
they're doing to the other side. And here's Lebron letting
the Lakers know, don't count on. I'm gonna be around
only one because I can't stand being around you. I'm
gonna be around only as much as I have to.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
But they said he could stay around as long as
he wants. I think of the great lyrics from Well
the the legendary James, Hetfield, Kirk Hammitt, bars Alric and Trehiel.
But the castles crumbled and you're left with just a name.
Where's your crown king?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Nothing? Where's your crown?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Exit?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Out bout a Fresca exit Swallen, don't bare minimum for
Lebron James. Coming up next, we give you the big
full preview of TNF wins, losses, points spread over under fantasy,
and Alex Tyshirt makes his next pick because he was
so hot last week, picking the Giants to win by
(33:55):
two touchdowns, he gets to pick the game next the points.
Okay they're not playing tomorrow. Okay, I'm playing tomorrow. That's

You can lock it in. Had ripped a knob off,
so tonight not a great night for baseball drama. George
Kirby saw to that very early in this game. Uh,
all the Mariners come up incredibly weak in your first
(01:18):
ALCS game in nearly a quarter of a century.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Started with the band up to zip.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, I've got and all of a sudden, the floodgates
open and Kirby can't get anybody out. And he stayed
and they, you know, Wilson keeps him in the game
a long time, like I spell, k you gotta go
get him at some point, right these stops already dead.
He does, he doesn't have it tonight, he doesn't have it.
And and they left, but obviously didn't matter because wherever
(01:45):
they brought in got lit up. Uh thirteen to four
as your final. And I am stunned that this was
the I thought the Mariners, the emotion, the way they
were playing, the way they were hitting. They're picking up
where they left off a day ago in Toronto, and
it's gonna be three zip and the Mariners are going
to the World Series. And instead the Blue Jays came
and just knocked the crap out of the baseball and
(02:06):
they made the potentially extended this to be a soon.
They got it in the next game, but they kept us.
They kept it. It's still a series so far going
into games.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
No that's the thing, right. He came in and it
was all right, where are the big bats? What are
we doing?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And then they had been wrapping Fire's succession, I mean,
Vladimir and grow Junior, who has been invisible. He was
zero for seven with a walk the first two games.
He goes three for three nearly the cycle. He mentioned
Springer with the home run, and it didn't matter who
the next pitcher was, working at bats, getting deep into
counts and getting hitters pitches and just turning on them.
(02:41):
I mean, it was just a conga line over the
course of the game, and it just seemed like it
was never gonna end. I mean, we sat here that
fifth inning went forever, like wait, it's only the sixth.
So I'm like, all right, there's still a chance. Like
I was trying to sell, we're on radio, we got
a live game. It's like, come on, like, no, there's
nothing I tried.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So that was your night in Major League Baseball. Just
like that.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
We four that's it, all right, Ah, well, we'll get
back at it.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah. Three big late breaking stories in the NFL the
last couple hours. Going to hit him right now number one,
And I'm really stunned. At this The Panthers play the
Jets on Sunday, and there's a question as to how
much Rico Daddell is going to actually touch the football. Now,
this is a guy who nearly broke the record and
(03:29):
had back to back two hundred yard games for the
first time in NFL history, nearly had four hundred yards
rushing the last two weeks. But now Chewba Hubbard is
healthy and Dave Canal is today and the Panthers talked
about the division of labor between the two, and Canalis says, well,
you never want to say a guy loses a job,
dude to injury. I don't like it, but you have
to see what's going on in the field. You know
he's gonna touch. You know, Rico Daddell's going to touch
(03:50):
the football a lot. You know, Chewba Hubbard's a guy
that has had good times for them. Obviously, I'm seeing
this and I'm going, dude, why are you making it
more difficult. It's like the Magic john'son Twitter game. Why
are you making it more difficult than it has to be.
Rico Daddle gets the ball twenty five times, Okay, the
guy's he's got two two hundred yard games basically in
a row. And I get that there's no revenge game
this week. He is not playing the Cowboys, but still
(04:12):
he can find a way to hate Aaron Glenn. I'm
sure you can find a way to do that. Uh, dude,
you get the football. Twenty five Cuba Hubbard understands. Hey, dude,
we kind of have to feed the hot hand here.
I think he gets it. I understand. I don't know
why this is something they feel they have to dance around.
This is a guy that's had two weeks in the
NFL that has everybody's jaws dropping that he could actually
do this. And you're gonna say, yeah, maybe we kind
(04:34):
of weave in Chubba Hubbard little bit. No, dude, you
give him the football until his legs fall off. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I think part of it becomes the question of how
much is your system now working that you're proving that
you've got a couple of running backs that can get
after it. You've got Canalis, who, let's face it, you
know something we talked about a long time ago. You
got him and anybody that Baker Mayfield touches. It's a
sphere of influence now as a guy that was discarded.
(04:59):
Now he's a kid maker, but canallis and it's you've
got a system that's starting to work and it's making
life a little easier for your young quarterbacks. So if
you got two guys that can run the football, last
time out, before he got hurt, Hubbard was averaging four
point nine a carry on his ten carries.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I like the idea of thirty thirty five touches between
the two of them. You got two guys that can
run the football, go get it. I mean it was
an only twelve hundred yard rusher with ten touchdowns a
year ago and was running pretty well to start the year. Yeah,
and now you've got rico'dowell who has been absolutely I mean,
I'm not saying you continue to give, but your tragedy
of this game has to be he's our belty, let's
(05:39):
run the football.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
He's our belt. Let's give it to him. We'll get
if he can't do it, we'll get it to you.
And at some point, but you can't ignore what he's done. Nah,
I'm running them both.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I'm gonna beat the hell out of that Jets defensive
line that you love so much, especially when I'm working
on a short field because your offense stakes. Yeah, it's true,
and there's nobody to throw the football too exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Meanwhile, George Pickens off to an incredible start this year
with Dallas right all the you know, no one's had
this kind of start with one hundred yard games the
first six weeks of the season. Was asked today about
his future because he's coming up free agent after this year.
It's why Dallas is able to get him in the
offseason from Pittsburgh, and he said, yeah, he loves it
in Dallas, but just wants to be somewhere to put
(06:18):
his talent on display. Wouldn't commit to saying I want
to stay a Dallas cowboy. Now you think this is
awful for Dallas. You think this is all my goodness,
I can't believe that this guy's coming here. He's finally
realizing all of his potential, and he says he's not
even sure he wants to be here. Here's the thing, Dallas,
thank him for this season, and at the end of
(06:39):
this year, when some team wants to give him five
years and whatever, one hundred million dollar contract, you say
good luck the rest of the way, because I can't
pay the last few years. I can't trust paying him
long term is going to be a good investment. You
saw him basically talk and act his way out of Pittsburgh.
(07:00):
Gave him a lot of chances. But whether it was
not blocking, not running routes, taking bad penalties, whatever it was,
George Pickens couldn't find a way to be successful, and
a lot of it was his own fault. Now, yes,
you had a new lease on life with Dallas and
you have a great year. That's great, But yeah, he's
the he's the he's the guy. Look at it.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Go.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I am so nervous if I give him a lot
of money over a long period of time. What am
I really gonna get once I pay this guy?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, he's the latest in a long line of guys
that were in that steeler locker room, in that wide
receiving quadrant that probably needs, uh, I don't know, the
sage brush or an exorcism or however strong you want
to go on it, because I mean, how many times
is Tom Winn had to be like yeah, I love
you until I don't and we move on right, Pickens
(07:45):
being the latest and we watched it all World Talent
Touchdowns five straight weeks. He and Dak Prescott. Clearly it
works and when Cede Lamb comes back, it's fantastic. But
I'm looking at him going, am I are you a
franchise tag potential guy? Because giving you five years or
four years with an exorbitant amount of guaranteed money.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
How do you think that ends? Well? How do you
think he'd respond to getting the franchise tag? Salty? Yeah?
Do you think you've did this this kind of year?
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I say, go find he ever may be in charge
of your players, and see what he did there.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
He go away years where he needed to show he
was great because he couldn't find a way to do
it in Pittsburgh. You're, oh, but he's gonna get paid
a lot of money. Still you're keeping them, you know,
focused on the contract coming up someplay. No, he had
time in Pittsburgh to show you, and he still said, yeah, no,
not into it, not into it here? Uh yeah, not
paying him, future Jets, not paying him, Oh absolutely, future
(08:44):
future Jeff.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
All world talent again, stipulate to that. Meanwhile, there's just
too much that goes with it.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Maybe now we know why Troy Aikman apparently hates Caleb Williams. Okay, uh.
The big headline coming off a Monday Night's game, Troy Aikman.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Less than.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Brilliant about the travail's and accomplishments of Caleb Williams in
the Bears win. You would have thought he was a
member of the Commander's broadcast. Oh it was, yeah. And
here's the thing. Caleb Williams is becoming a star. Sorry,
but he is. Two weeks in a row, two games
in a row, he's brought the Bears down for a
(09:22):
game winning score. Is you see his numbers? He's putting
up numbers. Everything is great, right, The Bears are three
and two. He's with the right coach. He was rocky
in the beginning. But I told you the air of
good feeling was here, and it's here. But yet people
are still gonna want to hate Caleb Williams, and apparently
Troy Aikman does as well. Right, all the stuff from
the broadcast him not really giving him credit for the
(09:42):
for the big pass to to uh DeAndre Swift all
a defender fell down. It's you made the play. You
made the play. It was a pick play. It wasn't
made to be the like all of a sudden, he's
mad about a play that was made by the Bears
that helped them win a game. Like what what what?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
What?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What kind of what kind of of standard are you
trying to set here? Why are you so? Why does
it seem like it's so personal with Caleb Williams. Well,
now we get the story today that in the big
production meeting, you know, the ones that people don't want
Tom Brady to be in because he can't own the
Raiders and be in these production meetings. Well, he has
to take off of the the Google glasses.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
He can't wear those because then he records everything he
sees in that office, don't you know?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Caleb Williams had things, as he said, I have things
to do with Hallis Hall couldn't make the production meeting
with Troy Aikman, he said. He reached out to Aikman
after to apologize I couldn't do it, and never heard
back from him, and then he told Tom Brady all
the plays instead, here's what we're gonna do to you guys,
and we play you guys next. So now, maybe Aikman's criticism,
(10:49):
which seemed kind of personal, makes sense, But overall this
is a really bad look for Troy Aikman, who over
the past couple of years has just seemed much more
combat and negative and salty than he has in his
NFL career. Like I don't know if it was, you know,
leaving Fox and going to Monday Night Football, going to ESPN,
whatever it is, but he is much more of a
(11:12):
combative analyst on the air than he ever has been.
And it's really tough sometimes sometimes it's a tough listen
to just hear him say that's a bad play when okay,
the end result is, uh, they're gonna win the game. Howard,
can you not give him credit for a play? So
you didn't want to give anybody credit on the play,
not DeAndre? So the defender fell down, Okay, so everything
(11:33):
else was done, the blocking that happened, Caleb williams Son
to the right receiver, all that was out. Really, you
never had a defender catch Troy, never had a guy
fall down, and never had that happen to you. I mean,
it never had anything like that, Like, like it really
seems personal, but he just seems so overly negative and
and again it's it's just when you get combative as
(11:54):
an analyst and you can't seem to give credit when
someone makes a big play, someone makes a good play.
I get all the fender fell down, but he seemed
to I'm going over the I'm going over the line
to not give credit to the Bears for making a
play when I'm sorry. There's two columns. There's a win column,
there's a lost column, and the Bears find a way
to put in the win column. I get that. Maybe
Caleb Williams, maybe a couple of times, could throw the
(12:16):
football lead his receiver a little bit more. I'm throwing
to the shoulder. I want you to turn and run
on that's you know, trust me with that. I get that,
But that comes with being in the NFL for more
than you know, one season in six games. Really I
see that. I go, is it about missing the meeting?
Because again he gets salted the tray. He goes zero
to salty in in you know, less than six seconds,
(12:37):
Like it's less than going to it from zero to
sixty in a car like that's been Troy Aikman.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
It's funny because I theorize that the meeting had something
to do with it, and then when the Williams presser
happened and kudos to him, right, because he also tried
to own it, saying, look, I missed it right, right,
So like saying, you can put some of the blame
on me, but let's talk about this as adults. So
good on him for airing it out because it was
something that was in all the interviews Ben Johnson did
(13:03):
in Chicago and any national media he did coming out
of that win. It was one of the first questions,
did you hear what Troy had to say? What did
you think of the tone? What did you think of that?
And he and he's going to be quick to clap back.
I mean that's the other thing for Ben Johnson, love
him or not, He's not a shrinking violet, right.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
He is going to say what he.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Believes, which is why you have the issues and the
bristling that happened in camp and will continue to happen
with Cayleb Williams. When they disagree, it's going to be
an issue and it'll blow up. This is a far
far from fully baked cake at this point for the Bears.
There's still a lot that needs to be done. But
when they do perform well like this just reminds me
(13:43):
of a couple of years ago, we were watching Thursday
night football and there were a couple of broadcasts where
aw Michaels looked like he'd and sounded like he would
have rather been anywhere else. Oh yeah, So pair the
two of them together, I'd be one hell of a listen.
I don't want to either where al was and and
look they spur and then you get better games whatever.
Life is good. But in the end, it's not great
(14:05):
football all two seventy two. But they're all we got,
so hug them. Okay, just give credit where credit's due.
Exit out about a Fresca exit swallow. There're just a
bad look for Akman, just really bad look from coming.

zum zum zum zum zum zum zoom. All right, get
what I want. Since you guys were all danced together,
I'll go full. Since you were gone, I have a
fun little project for the four of you to work
together on. We'll decide if it's fun. Fantastic as I
(16:42):
told you, my wife's My wife does trivia every Wednesday night. Okay,
Cabby stretch Ken, what fantastic four stretch you can be?
You can be? Mister fantastic is the name? Yes, mister
fantastic is that his name? Stretch? So the four of
you gonna work together on this. I'm the thing so
my life does. Yeah, that tracks it works? Yeah. Uh.
(17:06):
The big question, the final question of the night was
in sports. All right, I'm gonna give you, guys three
minutes to give me the answer. Three minutes work together
to give me the answer on this right. First word?
All right, now, I want to know. I want to
know the answer is of the some of all of
(17:30):
these things I'm going to ask you in fee some
in feet in feet, No ready, here are the things
I want you to know. You're gonna add all these
up in feet, in feet, in feet the width of
an NHL goal, the height of an MLS goal, the
(17:50):
height of an NBA hoop, the distance between bases on baseball,
and we've decided this is not fun. And the length
of an NFL field including end zones in feet, yes,
how about this? How do we do this? Instead? I'll
give you the total number and you tell me what
the correct answer is for each one of those. That's better.
(18:12):
Let's do that. So with an NHL goal, height of
an MLS goal, height of an NBA hoop, distance between
baseball bases, length of the NFL field including end zones
in feet, the answer is four hundred and seventy four. Okay,
So you four figure it out, work together. No, the
(18:32):
first one's easy, okay. NHL goal, yep, it's the same
rule as out a strip club six feet six feet.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Say it's about five feet, so six ft?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Is it? Six seven six seven seven six feet.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Six feet?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Okay? Hold on, we're talking about height or with height
I swear sorry, with of an NHL goal, height of
an MLS goal, sorry, an NBP, length of a baseball
dis between base yeah, okay. And then the NFL field
plus end zones right in feet in feet Okay, I
played enough soccer.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It's eight feet is it?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Are you sure? Positive? Okay? You played no soccer, it's
not eight feet, it's so eight feet it is eight feet,
Alex mlf No the height you said, the width? No, no, no,
it's a width of the hockey met height of an MLS.
That's what I So you got those two. You got
(19:29):
the two hard ones.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Well, no, it's baseball. Baseball's easy. Oh yeah, he's a
hard ones. Yeah, baseball it's ninety.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Feet, right, Baseball is ninety feet you want.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Yeah, between bases. Okay, And so now we're.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Just down to what NBA ten feet? Very good? Now
in feet a football field, counting the end zones.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Okay, so add up everything we just said and subtracted
from the main number he gave us.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Rather than convete feet to yards, you would rather just
do it the other way. Yes, an NFL is three
hundred feet going the other way, and there is it
one hundred and But you're counting the end zones. Count
the end zone, other ten yards one another thirty feet?
Is it one fifty one? Counting the end zone? Must
(20:14):
have my way would have worked counting the do you
guys know how many feet are in the yard? No,
three feet in the yard? Okay, how many yards are
we talking about? One hundred let's say one hundred and
s end zones one hundred and twenty, one hundred and twenty. Yeah,
thirty sixty. I hope you guys all have accountants.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Yes, I do, don't.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
The answer is three sixty. You guys got it, three sixty,
ninety ten, eight and six.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Very nice guys, we did it.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
That's worked together on that very good, good team. It
was weird. I thought you would go with the easy
ones first, but Frostberg got the hardest one first, which
I thought the crease is the hardest one.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I'm just curious to see where they were going to
run with it. I'm like, all right, I got this,
go ahead.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
But the whole thing, okay, it's three feet and he
already do that. And so that was that was the
last question. And they actually figured it out because they
got them all except they didn't know the mls. So
they got them. They go okay, and they subtracted. Now
that's how they got it. So there you go. Nice job.
So they were given the four seventy four or did
you do that? I gave you the four you gave it.
But they didn't get that though, But I think they
(21:27):
got that as a hint. Your definition of fun is
very different than ours. That was a fun thing. That
was a fun thing, and what was it?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Was it fun?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I think I think I think it was thrilling. I
think Harmon had fun, Monci had fund Everything's thrilling. Yeah,
I've had a good day. You had fun. I'm awake,
I'm alive, I career together. I think you're lying you
had fun. I think you had fun. I mean told
you the dog the Dodgers rough two zip late everything.
So Shoh said that that his slump has nothing to
(21:57):
do with going both ways. Excuse me? Yeah, hey, okay,
let's uh, let's let's go to football. Hell, let's go
to football. Down football, So hey, both ways? I uh
we told you last night after the James Franklin story,
(22:21):
you know, Franklin getting fired by Penn State Wildcats. Enjoy, yes,
enjoy that. This is the most bat bananas crazy college
football season we've seen since that crazy one in two
thousand and seven where it was Kansas and Missouri and
West Virginia and Pittsburgh all at the end for the
national championship. Right, that was an insane year. This year
is like that. Teams are good, then they stinked in.
(22:43):
They're good again. Players that we thought were gonna be
good are not. You're seeing all these cinderellas in the
top eight. Indiana is a top five team. James Franklin,
who two weeks ago was in overtime against Oregon, is
now fired. Right, enjoy the bat bananas craziness and enjoy
this story as well, because this is like out of
a movie. According to reports, Bleacher Report had to say
(23:05):
a couple other sites Matt Matt Hayes of USA Today,
Florida head coach Billy Napier could be fired this weekend.
As soon as this weekend. Now Florida lost to Texas
A and M. They're starting too and four And listen,
I don't know that there's been a tougher four week
run in college football history the last twenty years than
(23:27):
what Florida's had to go through. Number three LSU, number four, Miami,
number nine, Texas number five, Texas A and M. That
you're talking about, you're talking about playing four top nine
teams in a month, Right, tell me a team that's
gonna come out with wins there, right, But I James,
but I get look that, you know, I get that.
You know you started out, you know, losing the South
(23:48):
Florida that was a big deal. But just think about
that for a second. That's a really tough run. But
this Billy Napier could be fired on Saturday they play
they play Mississippi State this Saturday because oh, by the way,
they got Georgia coming up. Like this is like stuff
out of a movie. You win this weekend, Napier, or
you're fired like I've never seen a win this weekend,
or you're fired a dictum thrown down and anything other
(24:13):
than the movies or television. I gotta win this week
right out of a job.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Well, I mean, you know, there's always the feet to
the fire, but yeah, this is some next level stuff, right,
So what do we got nine and a half point
favorite against Mississippi State?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Gotta win this week? Bill money line minus three fifty
two win fifty and a half. What's his buyout? It's
given him? Also forty nine million dollars about that it's
like twenty one million, which is like Florida is like,
oh yea, yeah, we're good. I gotta go do some
coaching clinic. One million in Florida is like a billion.
Uh yeah, but there's enough rich people in Florida. I
think I don't have to call one rich guy. They're
(24:49):
saying it's only twenty one million dollars. That's that's nothing. Yeah,
that's like I mean, if Penn Steak can afford forty
nine million for James Franklin, well they really hated him.
Yeah yeah, I mean, I mean he did help him
build back, because get the blank out of here, Jerry
Newheisl is getting people fired. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah no,
(25:09):
he just certainly didn't not help things. Uh So again,
just think about that when you think how crazy this
college football season is. I really, I go back to
two thousand and seven to find something crazy and we're
not even half way there.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
No, no, no, because I think about it. Klin Debor
folks wanted him gone three weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Oh yeah, out out now, wait a minute, we're for
Lincoln Riley's head. Yeah yeah, they're back in the top there.
U c l a dangerous there. I mean, there's just
also CLA can make the playoff, Mike, they can win
the Big Tech can win the Penn State next next
coach odds. You want to have some fun here, okay,
Ddy Matt Rule and Joe Brady at plus one point fifty.
(25:48):
Matt Rule has been a pretty popular name. I don't
know why. You know, he looked two years at Nebraska.
He's got Nebraska back in the top twenty five. They
were under five hundred the last three years. Matt Rule's
done a pretty good job. Man, He's not there.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I mean, I just hold up pictures as Sam Darnold
and Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
That's there. That's the NFL Nebraska football. They realized he
didn't have to recruit that tough times they were on
and now he's got my homes, right, he's got my
homes in college. So okay, he's got my homes cosplay
in college. He's good, it really is. He is leaning
into it. Talking about leaning in.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
He leans into that lean into the bay. You know
who's third on the board at a sixteen point seven percent,
implied Brian Brown.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, I know, he did. No, he did Syracuse no
favors with his president. Signetti is next at fourteen point three.
He's gonna be in there for every opening. The Signetti
he's the he's the he's got the big guy who's
got pirate, Steve bringing a treasure chest at him. Man,
that is said, that is some kind Well that's what
Florida would do. I'm sure right do this. Yeah, come on,
(26:52):
come on down here, Lane Kiff and next along with
Matt Campbell, Bill O'Brien. Wow, Bill O'Brien, he would trade
all the players. Jean Gruden. Wow. Oh, Now I think
they would say, hey, we saw how this is working
in Carolina with Belichick. Yeah, I don't know so much.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah, we also remember the last time you were a
coach it didn't go quite so well, and the time
before that not so much. Even if you're winning your
lawsuit against the NFL, that doesn't help things.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
And then many dias. Wow, okay, at about six percent
in chance. So there you go. There's your list. And
he was there that as the defensive coordinator and did
really well, got the gig of Duke and that's that.
You know. I could see that.
Speaker 3 (27:34):

than Mike McDaniel was a week ago.

question was Who's buried in Grant's tomb? And the whole
thing was him trying to get the answer, and he
finally says the answer. The guy says, the answer is Napoleon.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
That's what you should have said, and that it would
have been more loss. I would have been more lost.
The Blue Jays look in their first two games of
the ALCS, but they weren't.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
In Game three, they found their offense eighteen hits, five
home runs, Vladivig Guerrero Junior perfect from the plate four
of four, and they crushed the Mariners thirteen to four.
George Springer also hit his twenty second postseason home run. Also,
Cal Rawly hit a home run and the loss and

(29:26):

is at six Eastern times.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
And in case you.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Missed this, the Orioles are apparently interested in interviewing Albert
Poohols to be their new manager.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
And we're here talking about coaches in college football. Well,
Albert pooh Hoosts, you know, may not be an Angels manager.
Maybe he hosts to Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Everybody wants Albert.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Everybody wants to I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
In the NFL week seven kicks off with Thursday Night
football between the Bengals and the Steelers, but Cincinnati has
did their press rusher Trey Hendrickson as questionable because of
a hip injury.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
A couple of players return.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
To practice who were on ir Chargers pass rusher Khalil Mack,
Cowboys wide receiver CD Lamb Broncos linebacker Drake Greenlaw, who
actually hasn't played this entire season because of a quad injury.
He also returned to practice today, but no practice for
Rams wide receiver pukuin Akua because of an ankle injury.
In NBA news, the king signed Russell Westbrook to a
one year deal love Westbrook. They also have agreed with
(30:27):
Ford Keegan Murray on a five year, one hundred and
forty million dollar rookie contract extension.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Lebron James, dealing with his sciatica, is going to take a.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Patient approach before his Lakers season debut, with the expectation
that he could return early November, but they may push
the timeline back if needed.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
ESPN with the news on the ice. Four games happened
on Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
The Sabers defeated the Senators eight four, Red Wings over
the Panthers for one, Blackhawks crushed the Blues eight three.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
And the Mammoth took down the Flames three to one.
Happy Birthday, Harmon, Thank.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
You very much, Monci. Yes, now you just heard minds
to bringing the story of Lebron James right now is
not gonna get looked at until the end of October
and then potentially couldn't come back until sometime in November. Again,
this is why we're ahead of the curve. What did
we tell you opening night of the Lakers preseason their
(31:20):
first practice, Lebron couldn't make it because of his bad glute,
and instead he was on a live stream dancing and
taking shots. Right. Lebron knows everything he is doing right.
This is not something Oh my god, I'm not just
doing this. It's so awkward with Lebron and the Lakers.
I still can't believe he's actually gonna take the court
for them, right because they want him gone. He would
(31:42):
like to be gone, but there's no match. There's no
easy solution right now. So what did I say first
day of training camp? He's gonna be around the Lakers
for the bare minimum of time he has to. I
don't want to be here anymore than maybe I just
come to the games. But already it's now, I'm not
here for the preseason. I'm not gonna start the season.
(32:02):
I mean, is he gonna be I can't even tell
he's gonna be a Laker.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
The deadline, he's gonna give a Christmas president of showing
up against the Rockets.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I still can't even believe he's gonna actually take the
court for the Lakers this year. Just because things are
so awkward, They've shunted into the side. Nobody puts Lebron,
no one puts baby in the corner. No one shunts
Lebron to the side. He's not a supporting player in
the Luca dahnsa chack. But that's what the Lakers have
decided to do. He is going to be around then
the absolute bare minimum, until the rubber hits the road
(32:30):
sometime during the season for either a trade, something happens.
Because this is just so incredibly awkward, and now you're
seeing this play out even more awkwardly, where oh yeah, yeah, yeah, hey,
uh not going to be around and uh yeah, now
it's not gonna be till till the season starts. And
what tonight he was already he was. He was doing stuff.
You know, Hey, I'm not I'm not gonna be around
(32:50):
Lebron is visible on a night where it's announced he's
not gonna be with the team for la while because
he's still dinged up right. I mean this is absolutely
each side is raising the state with what they're they're
they're doing to the other side. And here's Lebron letting
the Lakers know, don't count on. I'm gonna be around
only one because I can't stand being around you. I'm
gonna be around only as much as I have to.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
But they said he could stay around as long as
he wants. I think of the great lyrics from Well
the the legendary James, Hetfield, Kirk Hammitt, bars Alric and Trehiel.
But the castles crumbled and you're left with just a name.
Where's your crown king?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Nothing? Where's your crown?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Exit?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Out bout a Fresca exit Swallen, don't bare minimum for
Lebron James. Coming up next, we give you the big
full preview of TNF wins, losses, points spread over under fantasy,
and Alex Tyshirt makes his next pick because he was
so hot last week, picking the Giants to win by
(33:55):
two touchdowns, he gets to pick the game next the points.
