Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hour three, however, you want to call it third and
final hour of the program here on Sports Radio AM
thirteen under the Zone Craig Way alongside the producer Cameron Parker.
Glad to have you with us as well. And coming
up in a few minutes, we'll talk Major League Baseball
with Jeene Watson from the Chicago White Sox front office.
(00:20):
And we've got a couple of specific questions and need
to ask him. And that also includes the unbelievable day
of shoe Ao Toddi. However, we haven't spent a great
deal of time on the NFL other than the Thursday
night game with the Jets beating the Patriots last night
twenty four to three. Some quarterback news with we know
(00:45):
that Bryce Shong is going to be bench this week
for the Carolina Panthers. Can't put it all on his
feet because the Panthers are just awful, absolutely awful. I mean,
there are people who are already at the risk of
sounding a little hyperbolic, making sound like the Panthers could
be one of the worst NFL teams of all time. Uh,
they're probably gonna have to go aways to catch that
(01:06):
what is it eight Lions team that went one sixteen,
but but they're bad, so Bryce Young is not going
to play or is not going to start, put it
that way. And there's a change what with the Raiders?
(01:26):
Is it? Is it? Uh? I'm trying to think that
that that they're making a change at quarterback as well.
Uh this week? And uh, I think it's Andy Dalt
who's going to get the start for Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It's Gardner Minshew getting benched for a.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
That's uh, that's and let me look and see this.
Andy Dalton started for Carolina. But uh. And and Young,
by the way, said hey, look look if I had
played better, then this wouldn't be happening. We wouldn't be
having this conversation. So he said, Uh, as a competitor,
obviously not how you dream of what's going to happen.
(02:02):
It wasn't something I necessarily was expecting. Obviously, it was
not something that was great to hear. It's on me
to put them in that situation, was the deal. He's
two and sixteen now as a starter since the Panthers
made him the top pick last year, and the head coach,
(02:23):
Dave Kanally says they haven't given up on him and
they're not going to trade him or anything like that.
But it's making the Texans draft of CJ. Stroud look
all the better as a result since he has played well,
you know that kind of thing. So we'll find out
(02:45):
more about this. By the way, speaking of the Lions,
and you're about this weird deal with Dan Campbell.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, sad, Yeah, not surprising. It's sad.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
He's having to sell his home in the suburb in
Detroit area to get some more privacy. His quote was,
there's plenty of space, it's on two acres. The home
is beautiful. It's just that people figured out where we
lived when we lost His home address was leaked to
the public. He and his family became the victim of
(03:15):
pranks and harassment after tough Lions losses, including any NFC
Championship game, a game in which they had not participated
since nineteen ninety one. They filed police reports in Bloomfield, Michigan.
He didn't get into detail to sell the house, but
said it wasn't meant with negativity towards Lions fans. He said,
(03:37):
a lover fans. Our fans are unbelievable. There's nowhere that
I would want to be or any other team I'd
want to coach for it. It's rare to have an
environment like we have and to be able to coach here,
play here. And I tell our guys that all the time.
This is a rare spot and he better enjoy it
because it's not every place has it like we have it.
And yet he sell out his house in the eight
(04:00):
hundred square feet put it on the market for four
and a half million. According to Cranes, a deal is pending,
so it looks like he's gonna do that. Ashley Crane's
representing Campbell and the buyers and the sale said the
likely buyers are huge Lions fans, and the Campbell family
(04:21):
has already moved into another home. But it's amazing that
old line about you know, you know, for sale signs
in the coach's yard. We've been hearing that stuff for years.
This is one that the coach put in there himself
because of harassment, not because he was losing his job.
(04:42):
And that's a that's a shame that that that has
to be like that.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
But and it's stemmed from just losing in the playoff
game where the Lions were so close to winning. I mean,
that's kind of I don't know, Craig. I think he
just goes back to gambling again. You know, we talked
to about it with what's his face? The Auburn quarterback.
You know, remember he was getting Venmo request who is
Tyler Peyton Thorn state quarterback.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I didn't get any money when we won, when when
they did well? So he tried to he tried to
play it off casually. But I think you're right. I
mean there's people get mad, you know, and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Now, of course you could you could argue that, well,
there's always been people who overreact to wins and losses,
even they don't have any money on it. But it
seems like a lot of the stems from people who
probably should not be gambling. They're gambling with money they
can't afford to lose, end up losing it, and they
want to take the anger out on the coach or
the player or the team. And yet when you turn
(05:46):
on an NFL game, how many advertisements do you see
for Draft Kings and Van Duel in Caesar's Palace, ESPN, BET, ESPN, BET,
Barstool had a sports book so well.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Last night in a segment of Sports Center Scott Van
they got four, him and Stanford Steve, and they always
kind of say, now, we're not recommending you gambled. Come on,
we know what you're recommended because it's up there on
the board. We understand. That's that's what that's all about.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
When you go to a game in certain arenas, that's
where it's legalized and you can place a bet at
the actual facility.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah. Yeah, it's a strange deal. All right, We're gonna
shift from football to baseball. Up next, we'll talk baseball
with Gene Watson about the Shoe Aotani record setting performance
and the Pennant races a Big League ball Coming up
next here on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone
in the iHeartRadio app.
