prizes and iou football. We got some footballs to give
a way bribery balls. If we have time today, rich
Le'Veon bell in the news. If not, we can get
to it tomorrow or over promise. But we got to
talk your boy, Hunter Renfro. I say your boy, because

(02:31):
you guys have things in common.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
What do we have in common? You both have nose
picking kids. That is true, We do both have nose
picking kids. Facts. This is a story about Hunter Renfro
that I finally.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Both make lame excuses up when you're not around for
important phone calls.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
That's busy.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Rich is the guy. I don't know if everybody has
a guy like this. He's one of two things. He's
a guy that calls you with something that could have
been texted. That's he called me for. He could a
text to me that. That's always a weird feeling. But
he's also the guy that calls you and calls you
and calls you right. Let's say you missed a call,
you call him back, and then he rushes you off

(03:11):
the phone. I was like, you're the one calling me.
Now you're rushing me off the phone.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
True story.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
It's the weirdest thing about. Have you noticed that it's
a weird, weird noticeable personality trait. Notice that it's like,
why you rushing me off the phone? Were you the
one that called me up? Probably called you when I
had like a you know, a question or reason to
call you?

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Not anymore?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Well, Hunter Renfro in the news because he missed an
important phone call.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
No, not one, ten important phone calls.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, the story goes like this, Hunter Renfro, as you know,
he got cut by the Carolina Panthers did trying to
make a big comeback.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
He missed all last year.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
There was an injury though that led to them bringing him.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Back, So I'm not even there yet.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
This is a guy that was a star for your Raiders,
Danny g and then this things just sort of went
not so great for Hunter renfre last year ulcers I
believe in other ailments yep.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
And before that he ran into Josh McDaniels unfortunately was
in that doghouse, had a couple of concussions, so tough
road for him the past few years.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Tried to make his comeback and actually got cut by
the Panthers, but injuries have now led to them saying
we're just kidding, come on back. But the whole come
on back thing happened via a phone call that he
was not receiving. He kept getting calls, in fact, from
his agent, from Carolina Panthers' front office people. But guess

(04:35):
what his kids were on his phone watching Bluwie, which,
by the way, great show. Hey mom, Bump Bump.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, his kid kept swiping ignore dad, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Kid?

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Am I getting calls?

Speaker 5 (04:54):
Now?

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Stop it? Bingo. So his kid ignored the call ten times.
That's the story.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Panthers brass calling them up and they're like, yeah, no,
Bluie sorry, And that was the reason he missed these
calls from his agent and from the Panthers. That's the story. Well,
as promised. Hello Colin in Chicago. Hello, I mash Collin
in Chicago. Hello is that Colino.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Four four?

Speaker 2 (05:26):
So yeah, I mean it posed the question, have you
ever missed an important email, an important call, an important message?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Maybe it got thrown to a wrong mailbox or.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Well, that happens all I mean, but if it's that important,
you're looking for it, right. But there's a lot of
messages that get lost in like some random folder or
just like a.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Message as a host.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Sometimes I'll get a lot of feedback and it ends
up in a folder that I never check, and I'll
get that like two months later, and I feel bad.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
I do feel bad.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Sometimes it'll be like Instagram or face Book or something
and it'll be under almost like a requested folder. Yeah, yeah,
that's not important, but I did want to explain that happens.
It'll be like months old, like hey, love your show,
and I'm like, yeah, dude, guy, I promise you, I'm
not a jerk.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
But I didn't get this message. Danny.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
You said you have a story about a missed email
a La Hunter renfro.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Well, you got to bring up old stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
I was talking to this big time, big shot program
director in Portland. It was like two thousand and nine,
twenty ten, and we were in talks about me joining
as his assistant program director and I was going to
be doing afternoon Drive. So we were trying to agree
on the money. We were going back and forth and
he told me I'll email you with my final offer,

(06:42):
and I'm like, all right. So I had a couple
other offers things going on at the time. I never
got that email from him, so I thought he just
couldn't you know, meet my asking price, And I guess
that's dead in the water. A couple of years ago,
I was clearing out my spam folder and my yahah,
there's an email in there where he's giving me his
final offer. He was able to match the money, and

(07:03):
he said, and I need you to call me in
the next twenty four hours so I can get this
done through the general manager.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Let's go. I felt so stupid looking at that.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
There's a different timeline where you moved to Portland. Yeah, yeah,
but you'd be like a sandal and sock guy. He'd
be like, yeah, Danny, you'd be a hippie. Yeah, got
voodoo donuts. Yeah No, I like you better this way, Danny.
G But yeah, that's important. That's bad. So has there
been a moment where maybe your kid ruined it for
you because they didn't accept the call or it was

(07:34):
lost in the spam folder like Rich said eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, Because I mean that's pretty important.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I mean it all worked out, But think about it.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Hunter Renfro his agents is probably feverishly calling him, like,
we got the offer, we got the offer. There was
an injury, you're back on You're a Carolina Panther. The
Panther's front office is calling Renfro and again his kids
are watching BLUEI and Bingo. Is Bluey still hot right now?
Because you always talk about that demon hunter thing? Now,
well that's for younger I think demon hunters. My daughter's eight.

(08:03):
That's more for younger girls. But we still as hot
as it were. We still popping for the young kids.
Legit about cocoa melon. Is that still popping? That's popping
for the youngsters, Shark, our kids still rocking to this, Rachel,
I think that's still a thing. Yeah no, because when
my kid was little, she's a teenage paint in the assera. Now, Yo,
Gabba Gabba was all the buzz in, all the rage

(08:25):
and kayu and fresh.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Beet beer and those things go so quick.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
So you know, I know one Rich on Netflix, have
your kids to watch Buba Buba?

Speaker 6 (08:34):
Yeah, got blues and your bubas that meme.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
I love that meme.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
It's like every generation has their blue dog to get
them through tough times. It's like cockleberry hound, bluey uh,
the Blues Clues dog.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
And a Snoop dog.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, we had Snoop dogg.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Now I have a story that's you can imagine a
little more scandalous. And Cavino I believe was part of
the subsuppressy. He doesn't remember this one. Missed phone calls
are missed opportunities back.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
In the day, though, take it back on a Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Do you remember, like the crazy responsibility that would be
on you as a kid if you got a phone
call and it was important for your parents, you had
to write it down. Do you remember that feeling this
is important, you need to write it down. You're writing
down a message for mom and dad because they weren't there.
You're like, I'm not the answering machine, but you had
to do that.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
I mean to be.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
That's something your kids would never know. I probably unlocked
a memory, but you had to do that.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Wait.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Hold, you relay some weird message to your dad about
some guy wanting money or whatever, and you know for
a fact you didn't write down enough. I remember in
college not to be too inside radio.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
You can't. You wrote the number down wrong, and it's
all your fault.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Now, not to hit you with another radio story, Danny,
but I didn't miss out on a job. But I
remember my college roommate got the call from a big
time program director at iHeart when I was a youngster
on the come up, and he's like, I don't know
some dude and he kept saying his name wrong. It
was Kid Kelly out of Z one hundred in New York,
which is a big deal for a college kid. A

(10:09):
guy at a New York radio station was getting back
to a college kid about his demo tape and he's like,
I got him know some dude called I'm like, oh.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
He's that guy. What a stupid name, you know, like like.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Kid McGee or something like who. I'm like, he almost
messes up. So that whole idea of taking a message
for someone, but I have a better one. Cavino and
I back in our single days, we were always good
wing men to each other because the girl's usually not
going to like me and Cavino because it was either
like she likes Latino guy or the white guy. Like,
we were good wing men to each other in that way.

(10:40):
They were these girls at were like, we want to
hang with you guys. We'll call you later. Oh I
remember this, And we were like, oh dude, they're gonna
call us later.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
We were single and twenty something and dumb.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
We were partying in Hoboken. I remember the bar and
every you were at the Cadillac Bar in Hoboken, New Jersey.
We were in Jersey and it was early in the night,
and these girls like, at the end of the night,
let's all meet up.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
And they were pretty without saying it, they were pretty.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Much like, hey, us, two hot girls want to totally
get naked with you guys. I remember Covino and I
were like, yo, I think these two hot girls want
to hang late tonight. Our buddy Nico, who you know,
was like, yo, in the meantime, you guys want to
go have another drink at my apartment. We go to
Nico's for a drink. The night passes, and these are

(11:25):
the days of flip phones, these aren't we don't have iPhones.
The night passes, We're.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Like, oh man, we got stood up. Those girls never
called us.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
That sucks. We leave Nicos, go into the parking garage.
He was getting a bad signal. All of a sudden,
bloom bloop bloop bloop. These girls like we're waiting for you.
We're really like, we're really how do I say this?
Horned up? Essentially, we're already the more you make us wait,
the more we want you, and you're blowing us off,

(11:56):
like we weren't blowing anybody, and then it turned it's
like we'll forget you guys, like and honestly didn't realize
that we had no signal, the whole no signal.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
And then by the time we called them back, they were.

Speaker 6 (12:05):
Like, yeah, the banks, So yeah, missed opportunity for sure.
You couldn't see the bars on your phone a different times.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
The two thousands.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
It was really two thousands, and I didn't know that
was the deal at the time, I guess, but Hunter
Renfro pretty funny story. So if you want to share
some times where you missed out on an opportunity or again,
can we know makes a good point. If it's really important,
ninety nine percent of the time you're rechecking, Like I'll
be honest, if I email the bosson it's something important,

(12:35):
I will even check my spam folder to make sure
it didn't go in there. So and Google mail has
everything categorized now like purchases, transactions, promos, have your actual mail,
your important mail, Like yeah, like you gotta check those
things all the time because it could get lost in
the max you don't want to. You don't want to
pull Danny g or a Renfro here. It is hard

(12:56):
to miss something important nowadays.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
It seems like back then more emails went to spam
for whatever reason.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, but you get so much junk it is easy
to still lose some stuff or just like not really
notice what it is because it's in the mix of
all the other.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Crap that you get, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
So hey, your thoughts at Covin and Rich Hunter Renfro
looks like he's going to get another opportunity now for
the Panthers, which, by the way, could they be one
of your surprise teams of twenty twenty five When we
talk about these teams week one? Because this is gonna
have to schedule watch Rich. Oh wait, did you say
schedule watch? I have to look at their schedule.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Oh boy, the rich loves to look at the schedule.
Game schedule watching, schedule watching.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Let me give you the Carolina Panthers first couple of weeks,
because I think the Panthers could be a team that
early on if they play like a team that has
had top draft picks the last couple of years and
really built something. Carolina starts at Jacksonville winnable game, they
play at Arizona winnable game, and then they play the

(14:04):
Falcons winnable game, and then they go to New England.
That's another rebuilding team. So the projected point spreads for
those first four games, they're no more than a four
point underdog, or actually they're favored against the Falcons. I
know it's hard to do a point spread three weeks out,
but as of right now in Vegas, they're not big

(14:27):
time underdogs against anyone. So maybe Carolina, maybe Hunter Renfro
is part of the solution in Carolina, we shall see.
Maybe that team steps it up again week division week schedule.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
We'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Speaking of football, if we have time, because we got
Showtime Homes Trivia coming up. There's a Le'Veon Bell story
that I actually had a double check, and because I
couldn't believe it was real, I was like, there's no way.
And I was talking to Big Mike, who runs this
place who He's like, what are you guys talking about today?

Speaker 1 (14:54):
And I told him, I was like, this is Levan.
He's like, there's no way that's true.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
So I looked it up and if ais wrong, AI
said it's also a true story.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
I'm like, I can't believe it.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
If we have time, we'll tell you about the time
you played Hooky.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Bell said it big Mike said, he just doesn't believe
in me.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Thinks he was like.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Right, yeah, right right.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
So we'll get to that plus giving away prizes. Are
you ready to play, because that's what we do next
coming up if you want in Showtime Mahomes Trivia. It's
very simple, guys. We're two days away bro so on NFL.
Let's then three days away from Patrick taking on the Chargers,
right yeah, so I mean that's gonna be one of

(15:38):
your big week one game. So we'll bring in Bootleg Mahomes.
Do some Showtime trivia if you want in eight seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox and Speaking of the Chiefs. As
we get your feedback and phone calls, we'll play next.
Did you see Jason Kelsey said, I hope I'm Travis
is best man. He said he has a lot of friends,
but he hopes he's the best. I'd imagine. But do
you know that you could actually bet in Las Vegas

(15:58):
who Taylor Swifts made up of honor will be?

Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's actually a bet, you know, what's in my family.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Let's say I can make my brother like my kid's godfather,
and people would say, well, why would you do that.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
It's already your god it's already her uncle.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Right, you make a friend a godfather, why would you
waste that honor on your brother? Can the same be
said about best man? It's like, oh, it's already his brother.
Makes someone else a friend the best man? You know
that it should be. I think it's automatically Kelsey, I
think you always go with family first.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
I disagree because I feel like they already have a title.
That's the argument. That's my point.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I mean, but I think they're so close, they have
a podcast together, they're both NFL stars back in the
day and now with Travis Stiel playing. But I think
Jason's the obviously. Other words, the question is he's already
your brother, he's already your best man. Make someone else
your best man. It's quite the honor. He's more than
just a friend, he's your best man. And then there

(17:00):
or your brother by the honor. And the same argument
goes with godfather and things like that. It's like, why
would you give it to a family member. They're already
a family that's your uncle. Yeah, I don't play by
those rules. I do play by family first. So based
on my theory, choose Jason should be the best man.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
I believe the best man you can't refuse.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
But I offer. He accepts. But I always look at
it this way. You don't choose family that man or
honor have a brother. You have a brother. Your brother
should have been your best man. To me, it's insulting.
But he's already my brother. That that's the thought. I
don't agree with that thought. And we're not like the
super closest. So I feel like by the Falters making
my best man, I have friends that I was closer to.

(17:45):
I think if Travis doesn't pick Jason, it's a little
bit of a slight unless he plays by your roles well,
only because they are so abnormally synonymous with each other.
But hey, speaking of the Chiefs, speaking of the Kelsey's
and all that mahomes Showtime Trivia, we got the phone
calls lined up.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
We play next right.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
It is. It is one of the best kid shows.
But you know what, every you.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Know what Eureka Castle, every Days Repair thinks whatever their
kid watches was the most special.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Because it is. It's the truth.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
But I mean talking about Bwe's Playhouse was the best.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I mean objectively, Mister Rogers was the best, and there
were shows have really you know, it's like adult jokes
mixed into anyway. You know what, let's say how to
Scott Virginia, what's.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Up, Bud?

Speaker 5 (22:12):
Hey guys, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (22:13):
What a buddy boy?

Speaker 5 (22:15):
You guys cracked me up. Every afternoon. I appreciate your show.
Back in the stone Age before cell phone. So I
met this girl and she was she lived out of town,
but she was from here. Anyhow, she said, give me

(22:35):
a call. So I broke out in the phone book,
looked up her name. Her parents were split up at
the time. I called the wrong house. You lived with
her mom, not her dad. I was calling her dad,
calling her dad, calling her dad. I was like, okay, well, she.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
She clearly doesn't want to talk to me. Mean while
you're calling her divorced dad. It's probably just bitter and angry. Anyway,
you know, it's funny. I when I first met my wife,
I want to hear the end of the story. Maybe
like him and the dad became good pals or something.
They're dating the No, maybe they went out for beer.
When I first started dating my wife, I sent flowers
to her dad by mistake, because it was still the

(23:13):
two thousands enough where late two thousands fluttered. No, because
I just was like, let me surprise her. I don't
know our home address. I actually looked it up and
I sent flowers and her Dad's like, WHOA.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Who are he's from?

Speaker 3 (23:24):

as we can.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
And some koozies those are io us. Thank you, just
as good as money.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
So I wanted to bring up you know what, I'll
pose it as the form of a trivia question, just
to get the conversation rolling. What could very well happen
this year in Major League Baseball that has never happened before. Statistically,
something is very close to happening. I know the Yankees

(28:55):
are gonna have a nine players in their lineup with
over twenty home runs. That could be right, right? Would
that be the ties are? Well, here's the thing. Eight
ties the record and they're probably gonna have that. They're
saying McMahon doesn't count because he only played you know, half,
not even half the season, a quarter of the season
with the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
It's a great stat though. Yeah, it's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
I mean, we know that complete games are down, and
the shutouts and these things are just non existing in baseball.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
But there's another stat. I'll give you a hint.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
We show up a hand we sort of talked about
the other day, and it just shows you the way
the game is going. Oh, I know, is that have
to do a three hundred batting average? We might have
like one to two under five problem. We talked the
other day about how there's like five players in all
of Major League Baseball who are batting over three hundred,
and Aaron Judge is now down to the early low

(29:43):
three twenties. There might be get this, this is wild
to think of. As of right now, we got what
twenty ish games left in baseball, Trey Turner is batting
three oh one and Freddy Freeman is batting dead even
three hundred.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
If both of those guys go down one point.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
We could very well have our first ever and I'm
going back to the eighteen hundreds. You could have your
first batting title champion who's batting in the two hundreds
for all we know, fast forward a month, judge is
not going under three hundred. But doesn't a National league
in American League battle.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
In the NL.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Okay, I mean, but that's make it clear in all
of baseball, in the history of baseball. In nineteen sixty eight,
which was such a great year for baseball. If you're
a baseball like we are, I love baseball. Nineteen sixty eight,
that was the Detroit Tigers, the year of the pitcher,
Bob Gibson.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
That was the Cardinals Tigers.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
They said that Tigers team kept that city of Detroit
alive during riots and fires and everything. That was a
great baseball season, but it was called the year of
the pitcher. That was the year when the mound remember
they adjusted the mound after that year before it was
year of the belly itcher, right, yeah, yeah, exact, Yeah,
I remember, I remember belly year before that was the
year the catcher.

Speaker 6 (31:06):
And then the year before that was the year of
the belly scratcher. Oh yeah, exactly, Sam, you're right, you're right.
But in nineteen sixty nine, your miracle Mets.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
The year before that Detroit Tigers and that Tigers team
it was Carly Ustremsky. That year the year the Tigers
won the World Say is not Eustremsky on the Tigers.
I'm saying Carl Stremsky batted three to oh one and
that was by far the lowest batting average. Yeah, there's

(31:33):
been a couple recently, like Luisa Rise, like batt at
three fourteen and won a batting title. I mean that
dude won three years in a row. No one gives
a deadly squad about it. Batting average shows you the
importance of batting average. Batting average has taken such a backseat.
Let me just say that one more time. They will
go to dB for an update. If you're if you're
just joining, we are a point away from Imagine if

(31:56):
Trey Turner and Freddy Freeman, if neither one of those
guys plays pretty solid over the next twenty final games,
we could be like and your NL batting champion, Freddy
Freeman at two ninety eight, the batting champion.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
That means No.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
One in the National League, Mets, Phillies, Braves, Ey, Cubs, Brewers, Dodgers, Padre,
no one is batting three hundred.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
No one is such no one.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
It's wild thought, it's a jen, it's a boomer, and
jen X thing. Any anyone below jen X doesn't really
put the emphasis on it because it still means a
lot to me.

Speaker 8 (32:30):
We were talking. I was talking with some buddies of
mine last week when I was on vacation and we
were at an establishment where there were TVs on in
the MLB network. Came up their topic of conversation, true
story was Ken Luis RAI still win the NL batting
title and he was hitting two eighty six.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
All right, yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
What it's like. He is like get hot for twenty games, yes,
four hundred of the next month? Ye maybe maybe? Uh well, dB,
let's go to you for an update. What is going on?
My friend?

Speaker 8 (32:58):
And I'll just throw this one out there because we
love great Tony gwynnstats. Tony Gwynn debuted in nineteen eighty two,
played in fifty four games, hit two eighty six, two
eighty nine.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
Excuse me that season.

Speaker 8 (33:10):
Next season appeared in eighty six games, hit three oh nine.
There wasn't a season after that where he hit lower
than three thirteen.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Believe.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yes, Dan and I were tuget during the last break
that when we were kids, we were telling Ian and
some of the young editing dudes. I was like, yo,
year after year when we were kids in the eighties
and nineties, you were guaranteed that Tony Gwynn or Wade
Bogs bat like three sixty or something that was just automatic.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yes, Georgia, K yeah, I brought up those guys. Tell
him for average.

Speaker 8 (33:37):
I missed a three oh nine in there, but again
below three oh nine forgive me.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Yes. Uh, moving on to other matters. Will get to
the NFL action in the second.

Speaker 8 (33:46):
But there is a new college football poll out Ohio
state number one according to the Associated Press in their
latest top twenty five Penn Status two, LSU jumps up
to three, with Georgia at four in Miami at five.
Now Oregon came in at sixth. Texas the preseason number
one falls to seven after that loss to the Buckeys,
and at adis Clemson after losing to LSU. Nine is
Notre Dame. After they lost to Miami in tennis South Carolina.

(34:09):
They had a win against Virginia Tech on Sunday, Florida
State debut at fourteen. Alabama dropped to number twenty one.
Chargers running back Naji Harris a full participant in practice
today while the Bills on wide receiver gave Davis Jackson
dark QB two with the Giants behind Russell Wilson. Patriots
head coach Mike Vrabel said wide receiver Stefan Diggs will
play against the Raiders on Sunday. Jaguars have the Panthers,
with Travis Hunter listed as a first team wide receiver

(34:31):
and second team corner. At the USA been second seed
Carlos Alcarez on to the semi finals and the men's
draw with the straight sets victory today. On the women's side,
top seed Arena Sablenka will face Jessica Pagoula in the
semi finals. That's because Sablanca didn't have to play a
quarterfinal match. Marquisaveanressova had to withdraw because of an injury,
so the top seed moves on. In Queens, Guys, back

(34:53):
to you.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Dan Byer, I look at you as our Fox Sports
Radio expert fantasy football guy.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
You do your show on the weekend.

Speaker 8 (34:58):
Yes with Kerrie Rhoads five o'clock Eastern, two Pacific. We
have the Late Window and the I Want Your Flex
podcast with Mike Harmon.

Speaker 6 (35:07):
Well you Flex, that's my theme song, Dad. Thanks Sam
it's actually after I Want your sex. That's the George
Michael song. That's yes, but I don't know what that was.
Actually one quick question, won't you Travis Hunter? No, I
mean first team one receiver.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Is there is there any indication that people late round
pick him?

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Is he any interest in fantasy?

Speaker 8 (35:32):
Not only is he intriguing in the individual defensive player leagues,
he is going a lot higher because you're going to
get those wide receiver stats for someone that you could
put at an individual defensive position. So he is he
in fact, he is a big factor when it comes
to those sorts of leagues.

Speaker 2 (35:49):

Yeah, it sounds like something for us, sounds like something
for only Dance dot com.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
I hope we not use that drop ever.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Now, if you just joined us, you missed show Time
ma Homes Trivia and I saw him leave him he
said he's heading into Brazil. He gave me a T shirt.
It says Bella Cheeks on it. Stuff says he trademarked,
So I don't know bell at cheeks. That's pretty cool.
I'll be rocking that at the gym today. And if
you missed us yesterday, well we filled in for Dan Patrick.

(37:37):
We were on live on Labor Day, and it was.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
A lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Real honestly, it was like really quick three hours because
we had so much fun. And if you need a
little something extra to listen to, why not check out
yesterday's Cavino and Rich pod.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
A lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Now, we talked about batting three hundred and how like
insignificant it is in baseball now, like batting two sixty
something is like, Wow, your boy Derek, who people love
to talk about underrated. I think I'm a as a
Mets fan who hates the Yankees. I hate when people
say Jeter was overrated. I think of anything, the guy's

(38:12):
such a winner. You know, Jeter batted three to ten
in his career, and he batted over three hundred twelve
different seasons. Yeah, he's amazing, all time Yankee hit leader.
Anyone who says he's overrated doesn't know Jack Didley squat
about baseball. That offense revolved around that guy and the
other baseball winner. How did know? Twenty nine teams other

(38:35):
than the Mets in Major League Baseball want to take
a chance on Pete Alonzo this past offseason.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
He just made a ridiculous play. First, he had a solo.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Home run in the first He's he's on pace for
like forty home runs, one hundred and twenty ribies batt
in two seventy almost like, I hope he leaves your
team next year because he's a solid first baseman. He
really is. He's unappreciated for sure, Yeah, no doubt. I mean,
I don't know. I mean, I think you appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
I love him.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
But the fact that the Mets didn't want to resign
him and he sort of like came back, like, al right, guys,
they gave him a decent deal. But I am still
shocked to think that there's twenty nine teams out there
that could have made a legit bid at Alonzo and
just figured not worth it. He's on the decline. If anything,
he's having one of his career years, and baseball's heating up.
We talked a hell of a lot of football today,

(39:21):
But tonight I'm excited to see your dude, Max Freed
pitch for the Yanks against the Astros. The Mets are
pitching McClain tonight his fourth start. The movement on his ball,
did you see that? Another strikeout? Baseball's heating up? Is
so many fun teams Dodgers, Padres, Cubbies, Brewers, Mariners. I
think could make some noise in the playoffs. So that

(39:41):
stacked lineup, and of course Detroit. I'm excited about baseball
playoffs and football at the same time. I think it's
the ultimate time of the year for sports. And you
got that Netflix documentary you gotta watch, Yeah, Unknown Number,
Oh my god, the high School Catfish watch on Netflix.
You know what, running out of time? Do you want
to talk about the Ravens or should we save it

(40:01):
for tomorrow. I mean there's some we have we didn't
get a chance to talk about. Le'Veon Bell in his story.
I think it's worth mentioning real quick. We could just
give shout outs to the Ravens because they're doing something.
We talked the other day, Danny about how football the
experience to take a family of four ends up being
the price of a vacation. Or we talked about how
expensive the average ticket price is. Number one was the

(40:23):
Raiders over five hundred dollars or whatever? Almost yeah, the expense.
We talked about beer. Recently, the Ravens have released a
new concession menu that includes eleven items under five dollars,
so refreshing to think, you know these, somebody's trying to give.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
You a deal.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
They walk friendly.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
The flock get it like the flock of Ravens. So
the flock friendly fair. They got a barbecue, chicken, sandwich, nachos,
hot dog, pretzel, French fries, peanuts, chips, popcorn.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
There's a beer, there's a soda, there's a water.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Warm pretzels, a dollar ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
So hey, props to the Ravens for doing the right
thing for the fans and making an under five dollars menu.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
You gotta get props or a props to do.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
They gonna have a great team this year, and not
only your a team family, family, friendly, get a kid
a hot dog, and.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
It's under five bucks. Perfect it. We'll see you guys later.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Until then, A Riveadirci baby, Are you in the Promised Land?
