All right, So let's update the baseball games. Yeah one
nothing Yankees and Royals. I can't. I don't know what
any yea. And the Tigers are trailing four.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
To three, yeah, eight to the bottom of the eight. No,
it's the top of the night. Okay, so there you
know these games.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Obviously, the Tigers, if they can get two runs at
the bottom of the ninth, they move on to the Alcs,
which would be incredible, and they would take on the
Yankees Royals winner and the Yankees can punch their ticket.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
They got Gary Cole on the mount. If they win,
the series is over right with the Royals. Yeah, so
there's a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:46):

Speaker 5 (02:57):
I love you, and I love all of the listeners
and alex and Ian and Rob G and Steve everybody,
but dang it, you know I was trying to go
to that game tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Hey, Rob, you know you know how you're uh you
over here running your nose right now?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Whatever the plane got to you.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Well, I'm feeling a little something to myself, y'all.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Look at you. You gotta better. What time of the
game tomorrow? Is it?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Five? Five h A? I mean, not that I looked
or anything, you know, not.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
I didn't text my guy Jay Hare, Jerry Harrison Jr.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Or anything, and see what, man, it's crazy, Alex.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You better be a Alex. Come on, tell.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
I to sit down somewhere with fresh air, maybe Alex
coold drink.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Alex.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
I mean you said you don't have to kick in
and talk everything. You know, so not just sports. I
mean you can have a we can have a Dodger
dog and just hey, sounds death. I mean hypothetically, not
that we're really that guy.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You guys better be on duty tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Anyway, let's get into it. Rob would be here, Go ahead, bro,
all right, feel sick?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, okay, so let's talk about this.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
And you know it's another run by the Guardians.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
By the way, Oh did they get insurance?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
They just got insured.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
That's five to three on a bunt they got to
run here.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, right, big, that's the big insurance run because you
know you don't want a one run lead going into
the ninth you need to get that insurance. And they
got it, so it could be a game five winner,
take all in Cleveland. So that'll be interested. But we
know you're from Michigan and Arburn Detroit fan obviously, and
the Tigers.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
You're happy about that and your Lions.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I mean, we're not ht burying the lead or hiding
the idea that this is what you like.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So the Lions are playing the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, exciting about what's.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Your first thing? Yeah, what's your first thought when you
first think? Do you know as a Lions fan or
somebody who follows that team closely? And you know, I
covered the Lions for twenty years in Detroit, went to
every single game home and road for twenty years. I
watched everybody's care Calvin Johnson, Matt Stafford, you know what
I mean, all those games when Matt Millan was a
(05:05):
GM and they lost twenty seven straight road games twice,
they lost twenty seven in a row, they won a
road again and then lost another twenty.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Seven in a row, like unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
You know that it was absolutely horrible thing to see
and witness for so many years. But for some reason
they've had a great one about almost two years now,
because it started that second half of Dan Campbell's tenure.
And then obviously last year really good season, had a
chance to go to.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
The Super Bowl. I don't want to start crying again.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
And then this season off to a three and one
start looking good, starting to get into shape. But to
be fair, they've had some weird issues with the Cowboys
and they've given them some fits. They've lost what five straight,
And even if you want to go back to the
postseason robin a little over a decade ago, when if
the refs don't pull up some a couple of flags,
the Lions would beat them and move on to the
(05:55):
NFC Championship game.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I believe it would have been that ended up not.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Being the case, and so the Cowboys have been a
little thorn in the side of the Lions, even with
this recent success. If you recall what happened last season,
a chance to beat them, they say, we're going for two,
you got a false start, you got a penalty. They
kept trying to go for it. Then something else happens.
They kept trying to go for the two.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You remember one of the linemen didn't report.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
He didn't report exactly, and that's very Lions in the
sense of, you know, they like to do trick plays
and good stuff, and it actually caught it, but he
didn't report, which the Locks always have something. I remember
with the Calvin Johnson catch, Why is it always something?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
When I was in.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Chicago with that when they he didn't complete the process
to remember that.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
It's like they call it the Calvin Johnson rule. Now.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
So but with that being said, man, I'm feeling good
about this. When they're starting to write to ship Jared
Goff eighteen for eighteen catches a touchdown pass, they're starting
to get that mojo going. They're starting to get the
offense going. And more than anything, what they do well
is not the strength of the Cowboys. And they're hoping
to get some of their defensive stub backs Michael parsh
(06:56):
Is and such. But the Lions run the ball. They
run the all They've done it the last two or
three years. You're gonna get Gibson coming at you.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
You're gonna get who I'm missing.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Shoot, I can't forget his name right now, but number
five it comeing me in a second.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
But you're gonna get him coming at you.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The backs they're gonna run and even if they only
gained one yard, even if they only gain two yards,
they're gonna keep running it. And that's to me, one
of the things I like about them, even bolting well
against other teams in the NFC or even the FC,
is that the Lions kind of stick to the game plan.
So I think the Cowboys struggling on the run, They're
gonna have a long, long day trying to stop that
(07:35):
dual backfield for the Lions, and I'm looking forward to
seeing that. And then all of a sudden they get
the play action and that's when Jared Goff starts to thrive.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
How big is this for the Lions?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I get it, they've had success that went to the
NFC Championship game. The Cowboys haven't been to an NFC
championship game in thirty years, right, which is crazy when
you really say that, When that when I even put
my lips together to say that the Cowboys haven't been
to an NFC championship game in thirty years, It's incredible.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
By the way I had to say that. But you
get my point, and my point is, UH.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
That that this if they go to Dallas and win
this game, like if they lose, and you're like, the
Cowboys aren't that great? Why couldn't the Lions beat them?
That's six in a row?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
You know? Is there some mental block there?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
There's something, uh to overcome with the Cowboys and the Lions.
Because because I remember I had not moved to Detroit yet.
But I remember watching that famous uh game between the
Cowboys and the Lions when the Lions beat the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
If you Championship, Yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Not that NFC, it was that one, but one before
because they played the fourth Then they played the the
Washington Redskins Redskins and they remember that because they lost
in that and that's why they didn't go to the
super Bowl. But the game they played, and I remember watching,
and John Madden after the game said, hey, you're watching
the two teams of the nineties. And remember the Lions
(09:09):
smacked around the Cowboys and that was with Troy Aikman
and Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin, you know, like that
was their team. Yeah, the Lions beat them up. John
Mann goes, you're looking at the two teams of the nineties,
the Lions and the Cowboys. You're gonna hear more from
these two teams over the next decade.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
That's what he said.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
So what you're saying, one guy, one team went to
be a.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Dynasty and went three out of four and one never
went to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
How is that?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
What you're saying is the Madden curse is real. That's
who're saying. The Madden Curse for usual for video games.
But now you're telling me the Madden Curse is real,
even for the Detroit Lions. No, I mean that's listen.
You gotta credit the Cowboys. They were able to have
an incredible run for like you said, pretty much most
of the nineties, even though they didn't win all them,
(10:02):
but they had a great one three out of four, right.
And the Detroit Lions they were at mid in the nineties,
like they were nine basically eight and eight, nine and seven,
all of these a couple of good seas, right, and.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
They just couldn't get turned the corner and a lot
of it. I just think they needed a you know,
they had a revolving door quarterback, right, Rodney Pete Andre
where Eric Kramer Mitch Yeah, just catching on and on
and then Wayne Fonce wasn't a good head coach.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
But I think the Lions are One of the things
I learned over the last couple of seasons is folks
really enjoyed the Lions. They're one of those teams that
I guess the lovable losers are having success now and
it's been fun because people aren't like they're like one
of the few teams.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
People be like, hey, you know what, I've got a
room for your team.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Like they're not the Cowboys, or half America hates them,
half the other, you know, the other half loves them.
They're not the Patriots where you're kind of over them,
or maybe even the Chiefs where you got the Kansas
City Chiefs fatigue going on the Lions right now because
they haven't won yet. People are like, oh man, they
like really like the Lions, and so they got to chance.
I'm going there and mess around and say, hey, we're
America's favorite team.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Okay, we're mere America's team.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Cowboys, get out the way, y'all ain't did nothing with
it for thirty years. We'll go ahead and take this
moniker and go in there and beat them, get four
to one, become for the four and one on the season,
and then all of a sudden you start to look
at Minnesota and you say, all right, Minnesota, you're having
a good season, but you haven't played us yet. And
then that game going against the Vikings will be huge,
kind of like we've talked about with the Jets taking
(11:24):
on the Bills, where hey, at the end of the day,
you got a chance to still take the lead in
the division. So if you're the Lions, you go in there,
you take care of business, you continue to run that ball,
and I think you got a chance to go ahead
and be up four to one. I don't buy the Cowboys.
I still don't think they know what they are. I'm
not overly excited about the their offense as well, minus seed.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Okay, And this is what I'm glad you say this
because if the Lions come in and the Cowboys beat them,
would say anything to you about the Lions Because I'm
with you on the Cowboys. That defense hasn't been great.
I know they're gonna get their play. A couple of
their players back, Michael Parts is playing yep. And they
did beat Pittsburgh on the road. Remember Pittsburgh started three
(12:05):
and zero and they were down and they needed a touchdown.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
On four quality win the game.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
The quality quality win on the road with three turnovers.
Usually you turn the ball over three times, you're not winning, right,
So they won the game. So I don't think that
much of the Cowboys either. But if the Lions don't
beat them, I'm not saying the season's over or whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
What would that say to you? Would that say anything, Well.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I think the thing that I would say also going
to matter how they lose. If they lose in the
fourth quarter three four minutes left and they make some
bad plays and not a good time out, or they
should have kicked the field goal but they chose to
go for it, then you know where I'm going with this, Rob,
I'm gonna start having issues with Dan Campbell, like, hey man,
what is it about this that you're starting to get
your Kyle Shanahan on where the game should be won
(12:49):
by you and your team, but for whatever reasons, you
keep fumbling the bag.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
N Yeah, So if they just lose a good, solid game.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
You know, and the Cowboys show up more or less,
he says, like, all right, they lost another one. It's okay,
maybe the Cowboys aren't as bad as we thought. But
if they lose a game where they had to lead,
they're up ten, they make a couple of flukey.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Calls like why would you run it here? Or why
would you pass it there?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Or why would you go for two when you shouldn't have,
Then I'm gonna have more of an issue because I'm
gonna start having that long term look of can I
trust Dan Campbell when it counts. And that's going to
be concerning because you expect him to be in high
leverage situations. You expect them to be in games that matter,
and he not trust as the coach.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Doesn't he have to grow like after that And he
said it after after the NFC Championship game, and.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
He said it again this year have cost him. Then
he had to do it again, and then he had
to do it again this year. I think it was
week two. So he keeps having these coming back and
having to apologize and he's all right, brother, this is.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
This is number two.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
You let's not get to three because we watch a
baseball postseason right now, Dan Campbell, I don't need you
striking out right.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is a telephone number.
Eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
And uh, is this a barometer game or just another
NFC game? The Lions and Cowboys and who's the better team?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Like is obvious?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Is it obvious that it's Is it obvious that it's
the Lions?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Or no? Are the Cowboys better than the Lions?
Speaker 5 (14:17):
And I think we also want to add eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. You and I do this
show every day. Are we not talking about the Lions
in enough? In the sense that if they win their
four and one, are they not the best team in
all of the NFC and a real team we need
to talk about as contenders eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
We want to hear from you as well.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So did the Tigers? They lost, but they scored a run.
Did you see they lost five? Yeah? I want to
talk about the insurance run.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Yep, and you were absolutely right. Give you I'll give
you DAP on that one. They were able to. This
is gonna be a good This is a good series, man. Listen,
MLB postseason right now, the winning Rob Manford is somewhere
smiling right now because.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
You're keeping up with the WNBA the NBA Finals Game
one right now. Man, the links they're blue of lead.
Now you got the Liberty up fifty three, forty seven.
I know you're watching.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You know I never missed a WNB.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I know I don't even know, so I never miss it.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
So disrespectful, listen, listen, you know I listen in full
transparency and full honesty.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
This is why I needed it to be the Indiana
Fever versus Chicago Sky because I needed some Ajeuries and
I needed Somerom Caitlyn Clark. Because I'm not gonna lie.
I've fallen off a little bit. I try to keep
an eye, you know, stay up to date a little bit.
But I have fallen off a little bit. I mean,
you know, I'm just not even gonna front.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
You.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Gotta full of ball going on. NBA started and all this.
So but but I'm glad I see now. Shout out
to the Liberty up six on the Minnesota Lynks. All right,
all right, no big TV. That's on your big TV.
I know it is.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, No it is not. And we're talking about the
Lions and Cowboys. The better team, Uh does this game
mean anything to the Lions or not. If the Cowboys
beat the Lions, who a lot of people like, does
that mean the Lion The Cowboys are actually a good
team coming off the win a Pittsburgh. So this game
has a little more juice to it than just a
normal NFC.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Uh, you know, rivalry kind of game.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Rafael and Cincinnati, You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
What's up, Rafael?
Speaker 4 (17:42):
What's going on? Bros?
Speaker 8 (17:43):
Eight? What shout out to Sabrina Steuie and John Quail
Because I'm going with the Liberty to take it the Lions.
You know, it's just I think the Lions in their history,
it's something about you know, Detroit, NTROI tough town and
the Lions. You know, the lion on the helmet, And
(18:04):
I know they went through some you know, tough times
and everything very you know, yes, yes, and you know
Barry brought it back in and everything. But I like
the fact that now when the Lions come on for me,
they're mustfy TV because I know they're not going out
looking for some CounterPunch and they're coming out throwing blows.
I think they take on the persona of their head
(18:27):
coach one thing about Campbell and he's learning. Because you
guys might attest to this that most former players they're
not going to make good head coaches. Maybe a lot
of them are going to learn on the fly, but
mostly they just don't make good head coaches. But he's
going to be alright because he has the charisma. I
think the guys like his his grit in his fight.
And the Lions players one thing about them when they
(18:49):
take the field. I'll tell you, man, you're talking about
playing through plays and they're tough. You got Saint Brown.
He minds me of like a modern day Hines Ward
with his psyche.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
He has a higher I like that. Don't get me
like that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
But so how important is this game though? If they
if they leave to down.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Game, it's a statement game because the Cowboys are going
to come out thinking that they don't have to play
the game and that they're going to win the game,
but the Lions are going to hit them and wake
the Cowboys up. I think you're going to have a
good game, but I think Detroit is going to prevail.
But it is a statement game because I think that
the NFC Championship, you're gonna have to go through the
(19:27):
tour this year, because I don't think c MA is
going to play this year. For the forty nine ers,
the Vikings, they may tail off a little bit, but
the Lions man that offense, they be coming at you
different directions and walk out those black jerseys.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Whoa, hey, hey, Rafael, Rafael, thank you for the call. Man.
I'm not sure Rafael.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Cincio Raphael destroy yeah right, I mean I think it's
Raphael on the d.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
He must be having off on seventy five heading towards Cincinnati.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
I don't get it. He was more excited than me.
That's what I like to hear.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
No, a couple of quick points, REQUI we got Andre
massachusets are gonna get to you real quick. I think
he hey brought up a great point that the Lions did.
Dan Campbell has set up. I'm the orchestrator. I'm the overarch.
You know, I'm running the kingdom if you will. But
Ben Johnson is that guy, the offensive coordinator. He's got
them doing exotic plays, he's got them sharp, they're running
(20:20):
their passing, they're mixing it up, and that to me
is the key if they were gonna lose Ben Johnson
last season. After the NFC Championship game, I was nervous.
I was telling everybody, don't tell me we'll be back,
especially if he lose Ben Johnson.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
But he stayed, thankfully, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Andre in Massachusetts, you're in the odd couple. Fox Sports Radio.
We're making too big of a deal of this game, Andre,
Or is it a statement game and is it important
if either team wins.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
It's certainly a statement game based on the fact that
the Lions have the pedigree and they're building towards the championship.
They were right on the precipice last year. If they
could have converted some fourth downs, should.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Have gone to the super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Let's just call they blew it right.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
And if they're if they're wide receivers would have caught
passes that were right, that were wide open, and they
would have converted some plays, they would have gone to
the super Bowl. So this game does mean something, is
Detroit line, because the bottom line is that the Cowboys
have the consumer confidence. They're the most marketable team and
the most profitable teams. But the Lions have the culture.
They have the actual framework for winning without all of
(21:23):
the bells and whist some one and forth and unless
they're gonna be a one hit wonder, meaning you get
there and you're right out, when you're right so close
I e. Dan Marino, but then you fall back and
you don't recover. They need to show that they are
heading back to the dance. They need to put put
a beat on the Dallas Cowboys because the better team
and they have the far superior culture. That's what I
(21:43):
keep coming down to Dallas. For all their talent, for
all of you know, their profit. Okay, they're just not
a well run organization there.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Well, let me let me ask you this though, Okay,
and what you said, I get it. I'm with you, okay,
But if the Cowboys are able to parlay and win
this game, right uh, coming off to Pittsburgh, win, getting
some defensive players back right and whatnot, and they stopped
the line from running the ball down their throats, would
(22:12):
you change your opinion on where the Cowboys are.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
That's that's what I want to know.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
Can't do it, Rob for mean, shame on you. For Cowboys.
They're gonna they're gonna have a great regular season. There's
gonna be a lot of anticipations they're gonna get knocked
out in the first round and to start again if
people are gonna continue to believe. So I can't buy
the Cowboys until they bring back Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Thanks taking the call.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Good luck on that. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
He's looking like a Southern Baptist preacher. I don't think
he's coming back. Hey, Dre, thank you for the call.
He had some great points.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
Man.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Listen for the Lions. You want to make them ay, y'all.
I know you're talking about what's wrong with the Chiefs.
They don't look quite the same, and all the ravens
of this look at us. We're the ones who had
a chance to go to the Super Bowl. So I
think it's a statement. Put your foot on Dallas, beat
them down, win the game, and tell them where about business?
And we're trying to get back to the NFC Championship
game for a chance to get back to the Super Bowl.
Tycher's Tower of Trivia on the way, but right now
(23:04):
checking in on what's trending with Steve de Seger.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Steve, Hello, gentlemen, this is how are you?
Speaker 4 (23:09):
We got a game?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
Five?
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Huh?
Speaker 10 (23:11):
We do?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
We got baseball playoffs? Who got NFL?
Speaker 11 (23:14):
And you guys have mentioned the w NBA Finals starting
tonight and getting lost in the shuffle, very predictably at
this point of the calendar year. Before the game tonight,
they said, starting next year, the WNBA Finals will be
best of seven, not a.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Best of five.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
So are you serious?
Speaker 10 (23:30):
Totally serious?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Aren't you excited? Rob basketball?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
For the best of three?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Now? No?
Speaker 10 (23:36):
No, no, best of five?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Oh, it's best of five.
Speaker 12 (23:39):
Star.
Speaker 10 (23:41):
It is late third quarter, by the way.
Speaker 11 (23:42):
Now New York sixty two fifty four on Minnesota, even
though Sabrina Yenesk, who's five of eighteen shooting from the floor.
As for the baseball playoffs with New York, it's a
Yankees lead of two nothing. At Kansas City. They have
just started the sixth inning of play Garrett Cole with
five scoreless innings on the hill for strikeouts, no walks,
sixty one pitches thrown. Michael Walker, the Royal starter, did
(24:05):
not make it through five. He allowed a first inning
RBI single Tojan Soto and an RBI single in the
fifth to Glebar Torres. Torres has two hits the Royals
as a team, two hits, two of seventeen at the plate.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah, we just saw did you see what happened.
Speaker 10 (24:19):
It's a base hitter.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
It looks like double by judge. It finally hit me second.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Yeah, you know what I mean, like finally hit the
ball hard somewhere.
Speaker 11 (24:27):
Which means in a couple batters, we're going to see
Stanton again at yes first hit of the night. He
did have a walk judge earlier this evening. But chance
to close out the best of five at CAC for
the Yankees tonight. We will have a game five Saturday
with the Tigers. As Trek Schoobel on the mound at
Cleveland big time, right did Cleveland Guardians did win at
(24:48):
Detroit tonight to stay alive five to four top of
the seventh, two run pinch homer from David Fry, and
he also bunted in a key insurance run and.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
They needed that run.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
When it happened, I told Kelvin, I said, you insurance man,
you called.
Speaker 11 (25:01):
It because they already brought their closer in Emmanuel Clause
to get the last couple outs of the eighth inning,
and he allowed a run in the ninth as well,
but five to four Cleveland the finals. So the save
to Class A and for the five outs, it only
took sixteen pitches by the way.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (25:16):
Tomorrow at Game five, Padres at Dodgers on Fox TV
and their best of five NL Division series. The Minnesota
Twins are exploring the sale of their team. Rafael Nadal
will retire from tennis at the end of this year.
Among the nine NHL games, at Boston Bruins five to
three over Montreal in the third. And we've got an
NFL game at Seattle where the Seahawks have been until
(25:39):
the last minute or so, just awful.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
So far.
Speaker 11 (25:41):
They'd only had three first downs in the first half
until now in the last minute or so, three first downs,
sixteen to nothing. San Francisco is leading at Seattle for
the forty nine ers, running back Jordan Mason left with
a shoulder injury. He has returned from the locker room.
We'll see if he gets back in Deebo Sam Mamuel
a seventy six yard catch and run for a touchdown
(26:02):
from Brock Purty. San Francisco oh and three in conference
but leading at Seattle sixteen nothing. Seahawks are driving in
the final seconds. They got a fourth and goal coming up.
We'll see what they do down sixteen points. Back to you,
Steve yeah, they almost Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
It looks like they were going to get a touchdown
they threw it up.
Speaker 10 (26:21):
To uh church met instead.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Yeah. Yeah. And then the game is that on Fox?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Saturday night?
Speaker 10 (26:29):
It is on regular Fox TV, not FS one.
Speaker 11 (26:33):
In fact, the Mets are going to travel to southern
California one way or another to open the NLCS Sunday night,
and that will be on Fox TV.
Speaker 10 (26:40):
And so we'll game two Monday afternoon.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
All right, Steve, weekend, I appreciate it coming to you

All right, Tyshert's Tower of Trivia. This is my first
time hosting this show, so this is pretty feeling. I
have to commemorate this somehow, but uh yeah, you guys
know the rules. But for those of you who don't.
It's I'm gonna come at you guys with some clues
and there is a blank that you need to fill in.
And Alex, who is not a sports fan, notoriously, some
(27:34):
of these answers might be obvious to most of you.
To Robin Kelvin, it will be. To listeners, it will
be for themselves and speak for them so. But to
Alex it's not. So We're going to try to get
you guys to with one word only get Alex to
correctly guess the blank word.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
And I hope you knows you by the way, it
was either you or Aaron Rodgers hosting the show, and
we chose you. Oh wow, you should be very honored.
Speaker 13 (27:55):
Wow, I feel like Aaron's a little busy right now.
But all right, anyway, let's jump right into it. Considered
one of the greatest NFL defensive units of all time,
the twenty ten Seahawks were Slash are still affectionately referred
to as the Legion of Blank.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
You're going first, Who should we start with. Let's let's
start with Rob. Sorry, yeah, yes, I'm watching you.
Speaker 5 (28:20):

notoriously the last overall pick in the entire twenty twenty
two NFL draft class. The last pick in any year's

If they don't win this, I think it's going to
be a rough road man, because the Vikings are improved
and the Packers are improved, So then the Bears, and
the Bears are better, right, Bears are better too.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
Yeah again just to Rich to Rich's point, Man, I'm
really looking for to this one for the Lion's sake,
to really just remind the league again because we're having
conversations about teams that aren't doing them.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
What's wrong with the Texans they don't quite look good?
Speaker 5 (40:08):
The Royals are the Royals, The Chiefs don't like quite
look good, or this other team. The Lions are sitting
there like, hey man, we want to get right back
to the championship game and then maybe the Super Bowl.
All right, brother, can't wait for low days and ginger
in your nostrils and no more brown pants.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
All right, So let's update the baseball games. Yeah one
nothing Yankees and Royals. I can't. I don't know what
any yea. And the Tigers are trailing four.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
To three, yeah, eight to the bottom of the eight. No,
it's the top of the night. Okay, so there you
know these games.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Obviously, the Tigers, if they can get two runs at
the bottom of the ninth, they move on to the Alcs,
which would be incredible, and they would take on the
Yankees Royals winner and the Yankees can punch their ticket.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
They got Gary Cole on the mount. If they win,
the series is over right with the Royals. Yeah, so
there's a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
And then tomorrow at Game five, winner take all Dodgers
and Padres. That's the game. I can't wait tomorrow. Listen, man,
whenever it's a winner take all.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah, I was so mad. Listen.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
I love you, and I love all of the listeners
and alex and Ian and Rob G and Steve everybody,
but dang it, you know I was trying to go
to that game tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Hey, Rob, you know you know how you're uh you
over here running your nose right now?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Whatever the plane got to you.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Well, I'm feeling a little something to myself, y'all.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Look at you. You gotta better. What time of the
game tomorrow? Is it?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Five? Five h A? I mean, not that I looked
or anything, you know, not.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
I didn't text my guy Jay Hare, Jerry Harrison Jr.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Or anything, and see what, man, it's crazy, Alex.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You better be a Alex. Come on, tell.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
I to sit down somewhere with fresh air, maybe Alex
coold drink.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Alex.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
I mean you said you don't have to kick in
and talk everything. You know, so not just sports. I
mean you can have a we can have a Dodger
dog and just hey, sounds death. I mean hypothetically, not
that we're really that guy.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You guys better be on duty tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Anyway, let's get into it. Rob would be here, Go ahead, bro,
all right, feel sick?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, okay, so let's talk about this.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
And you know it's another run by the Guardians.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
By the way, Oh did they get insurance?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
They just got insured.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
That's five to three on a bunt they got to
run here.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, right, big, that's the big insurance run because you
know you don't want a one run lead going into
the ninth you need to get that insurance. And they
got it, so it could be a game five winner,
take all in Cleveland. So that'll be interested. But we
know you're from Michigan and Arburn Detroit fan obviously, and
the Tigers.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
You're happy about that and your Lions.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I mean, we're not ht burying the lead or hiding
the idea that this is what you like.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So the Lions are playing the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, exciting about what's.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Your first thing? Yeah, what's your first thought when you
first think? Do you know as a Lions fan or
somebody who follows that team closely? And you know, I
covered the Lions for twenty years in Detroit, went to
every single game home and road for twenty years. I
watched everybody's care Calvin Johnson, Matt Stafford, you know what
I mean, all those games when Matt Millan was a
(05:05):
GM and they lost twenty seven straight road games twice,
they lost twenty seven in a row, they won a
road again and then lost another twenty.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Seven in a row, like unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
You know that it was absolutely horrible thing to see
and witness for so many years. But for some reason
they've had a great one about almost two years now,
because it started that second half of Dan Campbell's tenure.
And then obviously last year really good season, had a
chance to go to.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
The Super Bowl. I don't want to start crying again.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
And then this season off to a three and one
start looking good, starting to get into shape. But to
be fair, they've had some weird issues with the Cowboys
and they've given them some fits. They've lost what five straight,
And even if you want to go back to the
postseason robin a little over a decade ago, when if
the refs don't pull up some a couple of flags,
the Lions would beat them and move on to the
(05:55):
NFC Championship game.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I believe it would have been that ended up not.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Being the case, and so the Cowboys have been a
little thorn in the side of the Lions, even with
this recent success. If you recall what happened last season,
a chance to beat them, they say, we're going for two,
you got a false start, you got a penalty. They
kept trying to go for it. Then something else happens.
They kept trying to go for the two.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You remember one of the linemen didn't report.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
He didn't report exactly, and that's very Lions in the
sense of, you know, they like to do trick plays
and good stuff, and it actually caught it, but he
didn't report, which the Locks always have something. I remember
with the Calvin Johnson catch, Why is it always something?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
When I was in.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Chicago with that when they he didn't complete the process
to remember that.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
It's like they call it the Calvin Johnson rule. Now.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
So but with that being said, man, I'm feeling good
about this. When they're starting to write to ship Jared
Goff eighteen for eighteen catches a touchdown pass, they're starting
to get that mojo going. They're starting to get the
offense going. And more than anything, what they do well
is not the strength of the Cowboys. And they're hoping
to get some of their defensive stub backs Michael parsh
(06:56):
Is and such. But the Lions run the ball. They
run the all They've done it the last two or
three years. You're gonna get Gibson coming at you.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
You're gonna get who I'm missing.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Shoot, I can't forget his name right now, but number
five it comeing me in a second.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
But you're gonna get him coming at you.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The backs they're gonna run and even if they only
gained one yard, even if they only gain two yards,
they're gonna keep running it. And that's to me, one
of the things I like about them, even bolting well
against other teams in the NFC or even the FC,
is that the Lions kind of stick to the game plan.
So I think the Cowboys struggling on the run, They're
gonna have a long, long day trying to stop that
(07:35):
dual backfield for the Lions, and I'm looking forward to
seeing that. And then all of a sudden they get
the play action and that's when Jared Goff starts to thrive.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
How big is this for the Lions?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I get it, they've had success that went to the
NFC Championship game. The Cowboys haven't been to an NFC
championship game in thirty years, right, which is crazy when
you really say that, When that when I even put
my lips together to say that the Cowboys haven't been
to an NFC championship game in thirty years, It's incredible.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
By the way I had to say that. But you
get my point, and my point is, UH.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
That that this if they go to Dallas and win
this game, like if they lose, and you're like, the
Cowboys aren't that great? Why couldn't the Lions beat them?
That's six in a row?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
You know? Is there some mental block there?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
There's something, uh to overcome with the Cowboys and the Lions.
Because because I remember I had not moved to Detroit yet.
But I remember watching that famous uh game between the
Cowboys and the Lions when the Lions beat the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
If you Championship, Yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Not that NFC, it was that one, but one before
because they played the fourth Then they played the the
Washington Redskins Redskins and they remember that because they lost
in that and that's why they didn't go to the
super Bowl. But the game they played, and I remember watching,
and John Madden after the game said, hey, you're watching
the two teams of the nineties. And remember the Lions
(09:09):
smacked around the Cowboys and that was with Troy Aikman
and Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin, you know, like that
was their team. Yeah, the Lions beat them up. John
Mann goes, you're looking at the two teams of the nineties,
the Lions and the Cowboys. You're gonna hear more from
these two teams over the next decade.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
That's what he said.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
So what you're saying, one guy, one team went to
be a.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Dynasty and went three out of four and one never
went to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
How is that?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
What you're saying is the Madden curse is real. That's
who're saying. The Madden Curse for usual for video games.
But now you're telling me the Madden Curse is real,
even for the Detroit Lions. No, I mean that's listen.
You gotta credit the Cowboys. They were able to have
an incredible run for like you said, pretty much most
of the nineties, even though they didn't win all them,
(10:02):
but they had a great one three out of four, right.
And the Detroit Lions they were at mid in the nineties,
like they were nine basically eight and eight, nine and seven,
all of these a couple of good seas, right, and.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
They just couldn't get turned the corner and a lot
of it. I just think they needed a you know,
they had a revolving door quarterback, right, Rodney Pete Andre
where Eric Kramer Mitch Yeah, just catching on and on
and then Wayne Fonce wasn't a good head coach.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
But I think the Lions are One of the things
I learned over the last couple of seasons is folks
really enjoyed the Lions. They're one of those teams that
I guess the lovable losers are having success now and
it's been fun because people aren't like they're like one
of the few teams.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
People be like, hey, you know what, I've got a
room for your team.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Like they're not the Cowboys, or half America hates them,
half the other, you know, the other half loves them.
They're not the Patriots where you're kind of over them,
or maybe even the Chiefs where you got the Kansas
City Chiefs fatigue going on the Lions right now because
they haven't won yet. People are like, oh man, they
like really like the Lions, and so they got to chance.
I'm going there and mess around and say, hey, we're
America's favorite team.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Okay, we're mere America's team.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Cowboys, get out the way, y'all ain't did nothing with
it for thirty years. We'll go ahead and take this
moniker and go in there and beat them, get four
to one, become for the four and one on the season,
and then all of a sudden you start to look
at Minnesota and you say, all right, Minnesota, you're having
a good season, but you haven't played us yet. And
then that game going against the Vikings will be huge,
kind of like we've talked about with the Jets taking
(11:24):
on the Bills, where hey, at the end of the day,
you got a chance to still take the lead in
the division. So if you're the Lions, you go in there,
you take care of business, you continue to run that ball,
and I think you got a chance to go ahead
and be up four to one. I don't buy the Cowboys.
I still don't think they know what they are. I'm
not overly excited about the their offense as well, minus seed.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Okay, And this is what I'm glad you say this
because if the Lions come in and the Cowboys beat them,
would say anything to you about the Lions Because I'm
with you on the Cowboys. That defense hasn't been great.
I know they're gonna get their play. A couple of
their players back, Michael Parts is playing yep. And they
did beat Pittsburgh on the road. Remember Pittsburgh started three
(12:05):
and zero and they were down and they needed a touchdown.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
On four quality win the game.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
The quality quality win on the road with three turnovers.
Usually you turn the ball over three times, you're not winning, right,
So they won the game. So I don't think that
much of the Cowboys either. But if the Lions don't
beat them, I'm not saying the season's over or whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
What would that say to you? Would that say anything, Well.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I think the thing that I would say also going
to matter how they lose. If they lose in the
fourth quarter three four minutes left and they make some
bad plays and not a good time out, or they
should have kicked the field goal but they chose to
go for it, then you know where I'm going with this, Rob,
I'm gonna start having issues with Dan Campbell, like, hey man,
what is it about this that you're starting to get
your Kyle Shanahan on where the game should be won
(12:49):
by you and your team, but for whatever reasons, you
keep fumbling the bag.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
N Yeah, So if they just lose a good, solid game.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
You know, and the Cowboys show up more or less,
he says, like, all right, they lost another one. It's okay,
maybe the Cowboys aren't as bad as we thought. But
if they lose a game where they had to lead,
they're up ten, they make a couple of flukey.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Calls like why would you run it here? Or why
would you pass it there?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Or why would you go for two when you shouldn't have,
Then I'm gonna have more of an issue because I'm
gonna start having that long term look of can I
trust Dan Campbell when it counts. And that's going to
be concerning because you expect him to be in high
leverage situations. You expect them to be in games that matter,
and he not trust as the coach.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Doesn't he have to grow like after that And he
said it after after the NFC Championship game, and.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
He said it again this year have cost him. Then
he had to do it again, and then he had
to do it again this year. I think it was
week two. So he keeps having these coming back and
having to apologize and he's all right, brother, this is.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
This is number two.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
You let's not get to three because we watch a
baseball postseason right now, Dan Campbell, I don't need you
striking out right.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is a telephone number.
Eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
And uh, is this a barometer game or just another
NFC game? The Lions and Cowboys and who's the better team?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Like is obvious?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Is it obvious that it's Is it obvious that it's
the Lions?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Or no? Are the Cowboys better than the Lions?
Speaker 5 (14:17):
And I think we also want to add eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. You and I do this
show every day. Are we not talking about the Lions
in enough? In the sense that if they win their
four and one, are they not the best team in
all of the NFC and a real team we need
to talk about as contenders eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
We want to hear from you as well.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So did the Tigers? They lost, but they scored a run.
Did you see they lost five? Yeah? I want to
talk about the insurance run.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Yep, and you were absolutely right. Give you I'll give
you DAP on that one. They were able to. This
is gonna be a good This is a good series, man. Listen,
MLB postseason right now, the winning Rob Manford is somewhere

Speaker 5 (16:17):
You're keeping up with the WNBA the NBA Finals Game
one right now. Man, the links they're blue of lead.
Now you got the Liberty up fifty three, forty seven.
I know you're watching.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You know I never missed a WNB.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I know I don't even know, so I never miss it.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
So disrespectful, listen, listen, you know I listen in full
transparency and full honesty.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
This is why I needed it to be the Indiana
Fever versus Chicago Sky because I needed some Ajeuries and
I needed Somerom Caitlyn Clark. Because I'm not gonna lie.
I've fallen off a little bit. I try to keep
an eye, you know, stay up to date a little bit.
But I have fallen off a little bit. I mean,
you know, I'm just not even gonna front.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
You.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Gotta full of ball going on. NBA started and all this.
So but but I'm glad I see now. Shout out
to the Liberty up six on the Minnesota Lynks. All right,
all right, no big TV. That's on your big TV.
I know it is.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, No it is not. And we're talking about the
Lions and Cowboys. The better team, Uh does this game
mean anything to the Lions or not. If the Cowboys
beat the Lions, who a lot of people like, does
that mean the Lion The Cowboys are actually a good
team coming off the win a Pittsburgh. So this game
has a little more juice to it than just a
normal NFC.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Uh, you know, rivalry kind of game.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Rafael and Cincinnati, You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
What's up, Rafael?
Speaker 4 (17:42):
What's going on? Bros?
Speaker 8 (17:43):
Eight? What shout out to Sabrina Steuie and John Quail
Because I'm going with the Liberty to take it the Lions.
You know, it's just I think the Lions in their history,
it's something about you know, Detroit, NTROI tough town and
the Lions. You know, the lion on the helmet, And
(18:04):
I know they went through some you know, tough times
and everything very you know, yes, yes, and you know
Barry brought it back in and everything. But I like
the fact that now when the Lions come on for me,
they're mustfy TV because I know they're not going out
looking for some CounterPunch and they're coming out throwing blows.
I think they take on the persona of their head
(18:27):
coach one thing about Campbell and he's learning. Because you
guys might attest to this that most former players they're
not going to make good head coaches. Maybe a lot
of them are going to learn on the fly, but
mostly they just don't make good head coaches. But he's
going to be alright because he has the charisma. I
think the guys like his his grit in his fight.
And the Lions players one thing about them when they
(18:49):
take the field. I'll tell you, man, you're talking about
playing through plays and they're tough. You got Saint Brown.
He minds me of like a modern day Hines Ward
with his psyche.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
He has a higher I like that. Don't get me
like that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
But so how important is this game though? If they
if they leave to down.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Game, it's a statement game because the Cowboys are going
to come out thinking that they don't have to play
the game and that they're going to win the game,
but the Lions are going to hit them and wake
the Cowboys up. I think you're going to have a
good game, but I think Detroit is going to prevail.
But it is a statement game because I think that
the NFC Championship, you're gonna have to go through the
(19:27):
tour this year, because I don't think c MA is
going to play this year. For the forty nine ers,
the Vikings, they may tail off a little bit, but
the Lions man that offense, they be coming at you
different directions and walk out those black jerseys.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Whoa, hey, hey, Rafael, Rafael, thank you for the call. Man.
I'm not sure Rafael.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Cincio Raphael destroy yeah right, I mean I think it's
Raphael on the d.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
He must be having off on seventy five heading towards Cincinnati.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
I don't get it. He was more excited than me.
That's what I like to hear.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
No, a couple of quick points, REQUI we got Andre
massachusets are gonna get to you real quick. I think
he hey brought up a great point that the Lions did.
Dan Campbell has set up. I'm the orchestrator. I'm the overarch.
You know, I'm running the kingdom if you will. But
Ben Johnson is that guy, the offensive coordinator. He's got
them doing exotic plays, he's got them sharp, they're running
(20:20):
their passing, they're mixing it up, and that to me
is the key if they were gonna lose Ben Johnson
last season. After the NFC Championship game, I was nervous.
I was telling everybody, don't tell me we'll be back,
especially if he lose Ben Johnson.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
But he stayed, thankfully, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Andre in Massachusetts, you're in the odd couple. Fox Sports Radio.
We're making too big of a deal of this game, Andre,
Or is it a statement game and is it important
if either team wins.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
It's certainly a statement game based on the fact that
the Lions have the pedigree and they're building towards the championship.
They were right on the precipice last year. If they
could have converted some fourth downs, should.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Have gone to the super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Let's just call they blew it right.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
And if they're if they're wide receivers would have caught
passes that were right, that were wide open, and they
would have converted some plays, they would have gone to
the super Bowl. So this game does mean something, is
Detroit line, because the bottom line is that the Cowboys
have the consumer confidence. They're the most marketable team and
the most profitable teams. But the Lions have the culture.
They have the actual framework for winning without all of
(21:23):
the bells and whist some one and forth and unless
they're gonna be a one hit wonder, meaning you get
there and you're right out, when you're right so close
I e. Dan Marino, but then you fall back and
you don't recover. They need to show that they are
heading back to the dance. They need to put put
a beat on the Dallas Cowboys because the better team
and they have the far superior culture. That's what I
(21:43):
keep coming down to Dallas. For all their talent, for
all of you know, their profit. Okay, they're just not
a well run organization there.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Well, let me let me ask you this though, Okay,
and what you said, I get it. I'm with you, okay,
But if the Cowboys are able to parlay and win
this game, right uh, coming off to Pittsburgh, win, getting
some defensive players back right and whatnot, and they stopped
the line from running the ball down their throats, would
(22:12):
you change your opinion on where the Cowboys are.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
That's that's what I want to know.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
Can't do it, Rob for mean, shame on you. For Cowboys.
They're gonna they're gonna have a great regular season. There's
gonna be a lot of anticipations they're gonna get knocked
out in the first round and to start again if
people are gonna continue to believe. So I can't buy
the Cowboys until they bring back Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Thanks taking the call.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Good luck on that. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
He's looking like a Southern Baptist preacher. I don't think
he's coming back. Hey, Dre, thank you for the call.
He had some great points.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
Man.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Listen for the Lions. You want to make them ay, y'all.
I know you're talking about what's wrong with the Chiefs.
They don't look quite the same, and all the ravens
of this look at us. We're the ones who had
a chance to go to the Super Bowl. So I
think it's a statement. Put your foot on Dallas, beat
them down, win the game, and tell them where about business?
And we're trying to get back to the NFC Championship
game for a chance to get back to the Super Bowl.
Tycher's Tower of Trivia on the way, but right now
(23:04):
checking in on what's trending with Steve de Seger.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Steve, Hello, gentlemen, this is how are you?
Speaker 4 (23:09):
We got a game?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
Five?
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Huh?
Speaker 10 (23:11):
We do?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
We got baseball playoffs? Who got NFL?
Speaker 11 (23:14):
And you guys have mentioned the w NBA Finals starting
tonight and getting lost in the shuffle, very predictably at
this point of the calendar year. Before the game tonight,
they said, starting next year, the WNBA Finals will be
best of seven, not a.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Best of five.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
So are you serious?
Speaker 10 (23:30):
Totally serious?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Aren't you excited? Rob basketball?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
For the best of three?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Now? No?
Speaker 10 (23:36):
No, no, best of five?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Oh, it's best of five.
Speaker 12 (23:39):
Star.
Speaker 10 (23:41):
It is late third quarter, by the way.
Speaker 11 (23:42):
Now New York sixty two fifty four on Minnesota, even
though Sabrina Yenesk, who's five of eighteen shooting from the floor.
As for the baseball playoffs with New York, it's a
Yankees lead of two nothing. At Kansas City. They have
just started the sixth inning of play Garrett Cole with
five scoreless innings on the hill for strikeouts, no walks,
sixty one pitches thrown. Michael Walker, the Royal starter, did
(24:05):
not make it through five. He allowed a first inning
RBI single Tojan Soto and an RBI single in the
fifth to Glebar Torres. Torres has two hits the Royals
as a team, two hits, two of seventeen at the plate.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah, we just saw did you see what happened.
Speaker 10 (24:19):
It's a base hitter.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
It looks like double by judge. It finally hit me second.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Yeah, you know what I mean, like finally hit the
ball hard somewhere.
Speaker 11 (24:27):
Which means in a couple batters, we're going to see
Stanton again at yes first hit of the night. He
did have a walk judge earlier this evening. But chance
to close out the best of five at CAC for
the Yankees tonight. We will have a game five Saturday
with the Tigers. As Trek Schoobel on the mound at
Cleveland big time, right did Cleveland Guardians did win at
(24:48):
Detroit tonight to stay alive five to four top of
the seventh, two run pinch homer from David Fry, and
he also bunted in a key insurance run and.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
They needed that run.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
When it happened, I told Kelvin, I said, you insurance man,
you called.
Speaker 11 (25:01):
It because they already brought their closer in Emmanuel Clause
to get the last couple outs of the eighth inning,
and he allowed a run in the ninth as well,
but five to four Cleveland the finals. So the save
to Class A and for the five outs, it only
took sixteen pitches by the way.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (25:16):
Tomorrow at Game five, Padres at Dodgers on Fox TV
and their best of five NL Division series. The Minnesota
Twins are exploring the sale of their team. Rafael Nadal
will retire from tennis at the end of this year.
Among the nine NHL games, at Boston Bruins five to
three over Montreal in the third. And we've got an
NFL game at Seattle where the Seahawks have been until
(25:39):
the last minute or so, just awful.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
So far.
Speaker 11 (25:41):
They'd only had three first downs in the first half
until now in the last minute or so, three first downs,
sixteen to nothing. San Francisco is leading at Seattle for
the forty nine ers, running back Jordan Mason left with
a shoulder injury. He has returned from the locker room.
We'll see if he gets back in Deebo Sam Mamuel
a seventy six yard catch and run for a touchdown
(26:02):
from Brock Purty. San Francisco oh and three in conference
but leading at Seattle sixteen nothing. Seahawks are driving in
the final seconds. They got a fourth and goal coming up.
We'll see what they do down sixteen points. Back to you,
Steve yeah, they almost Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
It looks like they were going to get a touchdown
they threw it up.
Speaker 10 (26:21):
To uh church met instead.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Yeah. Yeah. And then the game is that on Fox?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Saturday night?
Speaker 10 (26:29):
It is on regular Fox TV, not FS one.
Speaker 11 (26:33):
In fact, the Mets are going to travel to southern
California one way or another to open the NLCS Sunday night,
and that will be on Fox TV.
Speaker 10 (26:40):
And so we'll game two Monday afternoon.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
All right, Steve, weekend, I appreciate it coming to you

All right, Tyshert's Tower of Trivia. This is my first
time hosting this show, so this is pretty feeling. I
have to commemorate this somehow, but uh yeah, you guys
know the rules. But for those of you who don't.
It's I'm gonna come at you guys with some clues
and there is a blank that you need to fill in.
And Alex, who is not a sports fan, notoriously, some
(27:34):
of these answers might be obvious to most of you.
To Robin Kelvin, it will be. To listeners, it will
be for themselves and speak for them so. But to
Alex it's not. So We're going to try to get
you guys to with one word only get Alex to
correctly guess the blank word.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
And I hope you knows you by the way, it
was either you or Aaron Rodgers hosting the show, and
we chose you. Oh wow, you should be very honored.
Speaker 13 (27:55):
Wow, I feel like Aaron's a little busy right now.
But all right, anyway, let's jump right into it. Considered
one of the greatest NFL defensive units of all time,
the twenty ten Seahawks were Slash are still affectionately referred
to as the Legion of Blank.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
You're going first, Who should we start with. Let's let's
start with Rob. Sorry, yeah, yes, I'm watching you.
Speaker 5 (28:20):

notoriously the last overall pick in the entire twenty twenty
two NFL draft class. The last pick in any year's

you know? I mean I don't you don't in your articles?
Speaker 15 (39:25):
Yeah, I don't know what they wanted me to write?
What do you want me to write? The teams were bad?
Still have some excitement in you. We're rich, So go ahead,
Rich on last call and you owd gung ho on
the Lions Cowboys? What are you calling them about?
Speaker 4 (39:40):
Really?
Speaker 12 (39:40):
I think this is a statement game for the Lions.
If they don't win this, I think it's going to
be a rough road man, because the Vikings are improved
and the Packers are improved, So then the Bears, and
the Bears are better, right, Bears are better too.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
Yeah again just to Rich to Rich's point, Man, I'm
really looking for to this one for the Lion's sake,
to really just remind the league again because we're having
conversations about teams that aren't doing them.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
What's wrong with the Texans they don't quite look good?
Speaker 5 (40:08):
The Royals are the Royals, The Chiefs don't like quite
look good, or this other team. The Lions are sitting
there like, hey man, we want to get right back
to the championship game and then maybe the Super Bowl.
All right, brother, can't wait for low days and ginger
in your nostrils and no more brown pants.
