Speaker 3 (00:00):
Good afternoon, everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to a Monday edition of the program here on
Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone. My name is
Craig Way. Glad to have you with us on this
very very warm, hot Monday afternoon. I hope you stay cool,
dry and comfortable on that. This is the show that
dares to ask the question how much of the Cowboys
(00:22):
game did Cameron Parker watch on Saturday night?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Cameron D. Parker.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
The D on the birth certificate stands for Dallas, as
in the Cowboys, the team for whom his father so
ardently roots, and Cam did as well, even though he
pledges not to watch them in the regular season or
even in the postseason unless they reach the NFC Championship game.
But he said he might take a pinker too throughout
the course of this preseason just to see what the
roster built up was like. Either that, I think he
(00:46):
just wanted to hear Jerry Jones in the pregame show,
you know, wax philosophical.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
How'd your weekend go?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Creig went great and hearing that we're just Colt McCoy
days away from that sure from Texas football being back and.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Earl Thomas days away five days away from week zero.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I mean just warms in my heart, even though it
is already burning in flames from the weather out.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
It's already quite warmed, right.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But a good weekend, great weekend, and man, we're just
so close to football being back. I've done more fantasy
football prep this year the year's past, which means I'm
going to finished probably in last place. I think the
more prep I do, the worse I do in fantasy football.
All that is a good thing, because we're so close
to football being back.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
By the way, apropos of nothing I've tried. I've tried
it every conceivable way over twenty five years in terms
of fantasy football prep, buying the magazines and then into
the online stuff, the heavy, heavy prep. I've tried walking
in completely blind, mellow, just walking in no prep at all.
I've done it, and I found some of the years
(01:53):
when I did the most prep is when I finished
the worst. Some of the years when I did very
little prep is when I had better finishes.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
It's just so much luck.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I felt really good about my draft until Aaron Rodgers
went down four place into the season last year, and
then it was all downhill from there.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
So yeah, there's no rhymor reason too. Yeah, right there.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, so it is, and I guess that's what makes
fantasy football fun.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Did you play pick a ball? Did not?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Okay, well, it's probably a good thing. You thought about it.
You said it was kind of on the table one
end of the weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, and then I think everyone was like, it's one
hundred and three degrees outside, maybe it stay in doors.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, probably probably good. You know, this way way predates
your time on Earth. But and I know a lot
of folks have more OG. Folks like myself will remember
when racketball was a huge thing. I know some people
still play.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Obviously goybe an Olympic sport right twenty twenty eight squash squash,
which is slightly different.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It is different in fact, but there are some similarities.
But racketball was huge thing in the eighties. And I had,
you know, had my own racket and everything and had
my equipment, and I went and I played. I played
two or three times a week back in the early
(03:15):
eighties and then on into the mid eighties, and I
really liked it an awful lot. If you go into
downtown Houston, there's a big as you're going down I
forty five or even coming up Memorial Drive from Memorial
Park where it merges right there near downtown. There's a
big parking garage at the Allen Center. I guess it's
on al Allen Boulevard or whatever it says Allen Center
(03:37):
racket club and parking garage, because there was huge racket
club there in Houston as well that folks told me about.
I never played there, but so yeah, it was a
big thing. So now pickleball is a big thing. But
the difference is, obviously, unless you've got an indoor facility,
you're playing pickleball outdoors, and it's kind of warm right
now to try to play that. So the burning question,
(04:01):
how much Cowboys did Raiders did you watch from Saturday night?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Absolutely zero? Really snaps live.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I've read about it and listened to some recaps, watch
some Twitter stuff afterwards, but I didn't watch any event live.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Okay, all right, interesting, okay.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
In fact, I was at a going away party for
some friends on Saturday night, and you know, getting towards
the end of the night, you know, getting.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Ready to leave go home.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Oh yeah, I got not vacation Cowboys Raiders about to begin,
that's right, it's at nine pm for some reason.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
The reason is because it's in Las Vegas. But that's right,
first time ever for the Cowboys to be in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
A lot was made out of that, and Jerry was
on the pregame and uh, he danced all around. Mickey
Spegna last him if if there was anything new about
Ceedee Lamb. Well, we're discussing and it's been discussed and
we're discussing some more, and yeah, it was. It was
a lot of that, but nothing new. Much to to
(04:58):
glean from that. We'll have some more Cowboy notes and
some NFL notes for you. Cameron did mention Colt McCoy.
We have a Colt McCoy news item to pass along
and we'll do that a little bit later. This, of course,
is another day of Long Worn football practice, as they
are now Colt McCoy days away, twelve days away from
the start of the season against the Colorado State Rams,
(05:23):
and Long Worn's head coach Steve Sarkisian had a media
briefing after practice this morning, and we'll hear from sark
from that media briefing. Baseball, Are you done with the Rangers?
I mean, I don't mean as a fan. I mean,
are you done with hopes that they could make the postseason?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I think my hopes for dashed probably in a July.
But any kind of hope, lingering hope pretty much gone
to just another really tough series against the Twins. I
mean all winnable games, right, all games decided by one run?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah? Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I know the Rangers wanted to walk off yesterday after
an error against the Twins, and then yeah, lost forty
three three to two and a five to two loss
and in the thirty in the series. But yeah, just
one win in each series in their last what five series?
They only even the Twins, ones, Red Sox once Yankees,
ones Astros once Red Sox, ones there Cardinals once swept
(06:25):
by the Blue Jays. They've been record wise one of
the worst teams in mijor League baseball since the All
Star break.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I read a thing today and we'll have some updated
power rankings in baseball. These are This is a different
set from what I normally do, the MLB dot Com rankings.
This one from CBS Sports has some real interesting footnotes,
including the American League West, and we'll get to that
as well.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
We'll talk about the talk about that.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
The Astors, meanwhile, still look good despite losing to the
White Sox on Friday night. It was like, whoa, you know,
maybe baseball side of the team, and they just got
they just got beat by the worst team in baseball.
But they turned it around and they won Saturday and Sunday,
so they won that series and the White Sox or
excuse me, the Astros have one series remaining with the
(07:16):
Mariners this year. It's in September. Uh, And that's important
and but it's it's the other teams that could be
interesting to see as well.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Also.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I don't know if you noticed it. I did not
notice it at first. And I was driving back from
a television show taping over the weekend, and I heard
I was listening to a national sports broadcast, uh and
(07:49):
syndicated national radio thing and somebody mentioned the Giants a
series and blah blah blah and the Giants and a's
and they said, uh and and yesterday said in the
final ever Bay Bridge Series game ever.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And I thought about it for a minute.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I thought, wow, that is I mean, I know we've
talked about the fact, you know, when the Rangers go
there in late September, They're the final team to ever
play the A's in a series in Oakland because Oakland
finishes on the road, so it's in September. The Rangers
will be the final ever opponent at the Coliseum for
(08:30):
the A's. I was watching a couple of weeks ago
when the Dodgers went up there and the Dodgers won
to had a three up there in Oakland, and it
was the last series ever that the Dodgers played up
There's a lot of history up there, you know. They
played the A's twice in the World Series, lost to
them in five games, and both World Series were closed
out in Oakland. In seventy four and they lost to
(08:50):
Oakland in five games, and then in eighty eight, the
magical Kirk Gibson New Year. Of course, that home run
was hitting Game one at Dodgers Stadium, but the series
closed in Oakland with the oral Hersheiser on the mouth
when they beat the heavily favored A's in five games.
They won that last game there in Oakland, so they
had their own history and they were talking about last
series ever that the Dodgers would play there. And then
(09:13):
the Astros not long ago played their last series ever
in Oakland, and but this kind of hit a little
differently yesterday thinking about this, is the San Francisco Giants
just across the Bay the last time those two teams
will ever have a Bay Bridge Series, because I don't
think you can really count Sacramento, even though they're going
(09:34):
to be there the next three years. And yes, the
Giants would bust over to Sacramento, they would make that
bus ride over there, so they would bust across the
Bay Bridge, but they that's not a Bay Bridge Series,
and I don't think they're gonna call it that. That's
why I heard yesterday and said the final ever Bay
Bridge Series game between the Giants and A's this would
(09:54):
be This would be a good day to have Cole
Dixon in here as well, because, yeah, he grew up
still as an Ardent Giants fan, but he's been to
games in Oakland. He's been the games when the Giants
played in Oakland and when Oakland played the Giants in
San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
So that was a little bit interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
And then it was golf and we'll get into more
detail about this, but what a week for Hadeki Matsuyama
to go through what he did with the theft of
his wallet and having to play without his regular caddy
and all that other stuff, and for him to win,
and the impact on how all of that is with
the FedEx Cup standings one down and two tournaments left
(10:34):
to go in that so we'll get to all of
that as well. But up next we'll hear from long
Orne had football coach Steve Sarkisian. That's next when we
continue on a Monday afternoon on sports Radio AM thirteen
under the Zone and the iHeartRadio app
Good afternoon, everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to a Monday edition of the program here on
Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone. My name is
Craig Way. Glad to have you with us on this
very very warm, hot Monday afternoon. I hope you stay cool,
dry and comfortable on that. This is the show that
dares to ask the question how much of the Cowboys
(00:22):
game did Cameron Parker watch on Saturday night?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Cameron D. Parker.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
The D on the birth certificate stands for Dallas, as
in the Cowboys, the team for whom his father so
ardently roots, and Cam did as well, even though he
pledges not to watch them in the regular season or
even in the postseason unless they reach the NFC Championship game.
But he said he might take a pinker too throughout
the course of this preseason just to see what the
roster built up was like. Either that, I think he
(00:46):
just wanted to hear Jerry Jones in the pregame show,
you know, wax philosophical.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
How'd your weekend go?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Creig went great and hearing that we're just Colt McCoy
days away from that sure from Texas football being back and.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Earl Thomas days away five days away from week zero.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I mean just warms in my heart, even though it
is already burning in flames from the weather out.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
It's already quite warmed, right.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But a good weekend, great weekend, and man, we're just
so close to football being back. I've done more fantasy
football prep this year the year's past, which means I'm
going to finished probably in last place. I think the
more prep I do, the worse I do in fantasy football.

It's just so much luck.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I felt really good about my draft until Aaron Rodgers
went down four place into the season last year, and
then it was all downhill from there.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
So yeah, there's no rhymor reason too. Yeah, right there.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, so it is, and I guess that's what makes
fantasy football fun.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Did you play pick a ball? Did not?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Okay, well, it's probably a good thing. You thought about it.
You said it was kind of on the table one
end of the weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, and then I think everyone was like, it's one
hundred and three degrees outside, maybe it stay in doors.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, probably probably good. You know, this way way predates
your time on Earth. But and I know a lot
of folks have more OG. Folks like myself will remember
when racketball was a huge thing. I know some people
still play.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Obviously goybe an Olympic sport right twenty twenty eight squash squash,
which is slightly different.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It is different in fact, but there are some similarities.
But racketball was huge thing in the eighties. And I had,
you know, had my own racket and everything and had
my equipment, and I went and I played. I played
two or three times a week back in the early
(03:15):
eighties and then on into the mid eighties, and I
really liked it an awful lot. If you go into
downtown Houston, there's a big as you're going down I
forty five or even coming up Memorial Drive from Memorial
Park where it merges right there near downtown. There's a
big parking garage at the Allen Center. I guess it's
on al Allen Boulevard or whatever it says Allen Center
(03:37):
racket club and parking garage, because there was huge racket
club there in Houston as well that folks told me about.
I never played there, but so yeah, it was a
big thing. So now pickleball is a big thing. But
the difference is, obviously, unless you've got an indoor facility,
you're playing pickleball outdoors, and it's kind of warm right
now to try to play that. So the burning question,
(04:01):
how much Cowboys did Raiders did you watch from Saturday night?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Absolutely zero? Really snaps live.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I've read about it and listened to some recaps, watch
some Twitter stuff afterwards, but I didn't watch any event live.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Okay, all right, interesting, okay.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
In fact, I was at a going away party for
some friends on Saturday night, and you know, getting towards
the end of the night, you know, getting.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Ready to leave go home.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Oh yeah, I got not vacation Cowboys Raiders about to begin,
that's right, it's at nine pm for some reason.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
The reason is because it's in Las Vegas. But that's right,
first time ever for the Cowboys to be in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
A lot was made out of that, and Jerry was
on the pregame and uh, he danced all around. Mickey
Spegna last him if if there was anything new about
Ceedee Lamb. Well, we're discussing and it's been discussed and
we're discussing some more, and yeah, it was. It was
a lot of that, but nothing new. Much to to
(04:58):
glean from that. We'll have some more Cowboy notes and
some NFL notes for you. Cameron did mention Colt McCoy.
We have a Colt McCoy news item to pass along
and we'll do that a little bit later. This, of course,
is another day of Long Worn football practice, as they
are now Colt McCoy days away, twelve days away from
the start of the season against the Colorado State Rams,
(05:23):
and Long Worn's head coach Steve Sarkisian had a media
briefing after practice this morning, and we'll hear from sark
from that media briefing. Baseball, Are you done with the Rangers?
I mean, I don't mean as a fan. I mean,
are you done with hopes that they could make the postseason?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I think my hopes for dashed probably in a July.
But any kind of hope, lingering hope pretty much gone
to just another really tough series against the Twins. I
mean all winnable games, right, all games decided by one run?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah? Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I know the Rangers wanted to walk off yesterday after
an error against the Twins, and then yeah, lost forty
three three to two and a five to two loss
and in the thirty in the series. But yeah, just
one win in each series in their last what five series?
They only even the Twins, ones, Red Sox once Yankees,
ones Astros once Red Sox, ones there Cardinals once swept
(06:25):
by the Blue Jays. They've been record wise one of
the worst teams in mijor League baseball since the All

Speaker 1 (06:31):
I read a thing today and we'll have some updated

as well.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
We'll talk about the talk about that.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
The Astors, meanwhile, still look good despite losing to the
White Sox on Friday night. It was like, whoa, you know,
maybe baseball side of the team, and they just got
they just got beat by the worst team in baseball.
But they turned it around and they won Saturday and Sunday,
so they won that series and the White Sox or
excuse me, the Astros have one series remaining with the
(07:16):
Mariners this year. It's in September. Uh, And that's important
and but it's it's the other teams that could be
interesting to see as well.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Also.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I don't know if you noticed it. I did not
notice it at first. And I was driving back from
a television show taping over the weekend, and I heard
I was listening to a national sports broadcast, uh and
(07:49):
syndicated national radio thing and somebody mentioned the Giants a
series and blah blah blah and the Giants and a's
and they said, uh and and yesterday said in the
final ever Bay Bridge Series game ever.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And I thought about it for a minute.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I thought, wow, that is I mean, I know we've
talked about the fact, you know, when the Rangers go

play the A's in a series in Oakland because Oakland
finishes on the road, so it's in September. The Rangers
will be the final ever opponent at the Coliseum for
(08:30):
the A's. I was watching a couple of weeks ago
when the Dodgers went up there and the Dodgers won
to had a three up there in Oakland, and it
was the last series ever that the Dodgers played up
There's a lot of history up there, you know. They
played the A's twice in the World Series, lost to
them in five games, and both World Series were closed
out in Oakland. In seventy four and they lost to
(08:50):
Oakland in five games, and then in eighty eight, the
magical Kirk Gibson New Year. Of course, that home run
was hitting Game one at Dodgers Stadium, but the series
closed in Oakland with the oral Hersheiser on the mouth
when they beat the heavily favored A's in five games.
They won that last game there in Oakland, so they
had their own history and they were talking about last
series ever that the Dodgers would play there. And then
(09:13):
the Astros not long ago played their last series ever
in Oakland, and but this kind of hit a little
differently yesterday thinking about this, is the San Francisco Giants
just across the Bay the last time those two teams
will ever have a Bay Bridge Series, because I don't
think you can really count Sacramento, even though they're going
(09:34):
to be there the next three years. And yes, the
Giants would bust over to Sacramento, they would make that
bus ride over there, so they would bust across the
Bay Bridge, but they that's not a Bay Bridge Series,
and I don't think they're gonna call it that. That's
why I heard yesterday and said the final ever Bay
Bridge Series game between the Giants and A's this would
(09:54):
be This would be a good day to have Cole
Dixon in here as well, because, yeah, he grew up
still as an Ardent Giants fan, but he's been to
games in Oakland. He's been the games when the Giants
played in Oakland and when Oakland played the Giants in
San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
So that was a little bit interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
And then it was golf and we'll get into more
detail about this, but what a week for Hadeki Matsuyama
to go through what he did with the theft of
his wallet and having to play without his regular caddy
and all that other stuff, and for him to win,
and the impact on how all of that is with
the FedEx Cup standings one down and two tournaments left
(10:34):
to go in that so we'll get to all of
that as well. But up next we'll hear from long
