Speaker 3 (00:16):

Speaker 2 (00:23):

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Good luck, guys, give it up, good life for mister
Brandon Crabbit.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
That's up.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
How you doingybody?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
What a What a weekend for football? What a weekend?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
You know?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
And I have to tell you I was looking at
you know. We do the stand and we do the
little pool around here. We'll be doing our Froggers football
follow up tomorrow to see who within our show had
the most correct and you know, it's a It was
just one of those weeks, man, not only in NFL football,
and it seems like every year we have one of
these around Week five or six, every single favorite loses
(01:04):
and then again we going to the NCAA football we
had two people in the top ten lose this week.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
What a crazy week?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Insane? Yeah, it was insane.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
And do you think that we'd get used to this
as football fans since this happens every week, seemingly every
year of our lives. Right by the way, this segment
brought to you by wing House Great Food, cold drinks,
unbeatable value served on the side of wing House charm
wing House good food, beautifully served. So one of the
biggest upsets this is not a local angle, but it
was so massive and so unexpected was Penn State, who
(01:35):
I picked to win the national championship preseason. I've flopped
and turned to Miami, which, thankfully because Miami is still
unbeaten after their win against Florida State.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Penn State lost to UCLA.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Ucla has just gutted their coaching staff. They haven't won
a game yet, they haven't had a lead yet at
any second of the season, and they beat Penn State
over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Makes no sense, Yeah, none whatsoever. And Penn State coming.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Off of a loss to Oregon Oregon's a real deal
title contender, where it's like, you know, you don't want
to lose that one, but no shame in the loss, right, Yeah,
you figure they're going to take it out on the
next opponent. Yeah, thankfully did not bet the game, but
they were twenty four and a half point favorites, and
I certainly thought about it because that's usually that's that's
a she lacking spot. Yeah, and they lost it to UCLA,
(02:24):
who a month into the season has fired their coaching staff.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So that was the most unpredictable thing that happened this weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
And I get what you're saying because Florida State's lost
to Miami, and when you look at it on paper,
I mean, it's not that bad. Florida State's an OK
football team. Miami is a dominant football team, So you
can't you. I mean, yeah, it's a loss, there's no question,
but it's a loss in Miami.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's different. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
And so the thing with Florida State, we'll flip over
to that storyline. They've now lost two games in a row.
Virginia looks like they're a pretty good team. They're now
top twenty five ranked. I think they're at nineteen at
this point. Miami's a legitimate title contender.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
They're ranked.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
The only team ranked ahead of them is Ohio State.
Just to give you an idea of how good Miami is,
and I don't think it's fake. This Miami team is
good at all the things you need to be good
at in order to win a championship.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
There is no shame in that.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
But went for Florida State fans that were of the
highest of highs two years ago, before the Jordan Travis injury,
they were headed towards the college football Playoff. He goes down,
they end up missing, they're not voted into the final four.
The very next year, they lose a lot of key pieces.
They win two games last year, so now they're in
(03:25):
the cellar and they come.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Back this year, and you have no idea what to expect.
We talked about I.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Was going to you and I had that very conversation.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Every time somebody asked me for a prediction, I'm like,
I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I have no idea what this team's gonna do.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
They go out and they dominate Alabama in Week one,
and Alabama it turns out they're pretty good football team.
The further we get away from that game, the more
it feels like that was just a team that was
taking the prior season out on whoever their first opponent was,
and it's not really who they are. A loss to
Virginia and now a loss to Miami.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
The loss is not the problem.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
They were not competitive right in that game on Saturday,
Miami let their.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Foot off the gas.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Florida State scored nineteen unanswered points in the fourth quarter.
If Miami was trying in the final quarter, they would
have won the game by forty.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, that's the issue. So now if you're a Florida
State fan, what do you believe?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Do you believe that your team is the team that
you saw in Week one or the team you've seen
the last two weeks? And I think the slim back
to relevancy for them is going to be a little
bit slower than some would have anticipated.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
And how can you even tell that when you're playing
a team in Virginia that's really kind of on the
come up, and Miami is on the come up, up up,
I mean, so it's kind of hard to gauge whether
or not you're any good. He's got beat by two
of the best teams in NCAA football, So it's I
think you're gonna have to kind of wait down the road,
see how we I mean, obviously Florida beats Texas this week.
Nobody saw that coming a mile away. And you know,
Florida State plays Florida every single year, so you know
we have more people on our schedule that we have
(04:50):
to face that It will definitely tell whether or not we're.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
For real or not. I think Florida State has a
chance to run the table. Here.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
We'll see how Florida, how good Florida turns out to be.
They did get a big win this weekend at the Swamp.
I was in Gainesville this weekend. I locked my doors
once I saw they wanted I was about to go.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Crazy against that team, for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
You know that was one that not a lot of
people expected. But I will say from talking to people
that live in that city, I did not get the
sentiment from people that they want the.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Head coach fired. I think they want Billy Napier to succeed.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But it's just that you're waiting for the turnaround and
it's not happening. This guy is the master of living
on the hot seat, being at the edge of the
plank and then going hey, look I just beat a
top twenty five team. He's done it now three times
in the last year. Where he's been on the verge
of Florida fans saying you gotta get rid of this guy. Yeah,
(05:42):
and then he goes and beats an impressive opponent. Texas
has their own problems, but a huge win for Florida.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
This sure, let's move on the NFL because we are
a limited time. You're Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
No excuse to lose that game.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
You're up seventeen to nothing against the Carolina Panthers, who
are not a good football team, and talk about let
your foot off the gas.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
They couldn't run the football. The stats in this game.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And they got all Miami.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Oh my god, they're running differential in this game. The
Panthers ran for two hundred and thirty nine yards. Would
you like to take a guess at what the Dolphins
number was? Twenty nine yards nineteen? Oh my god, you
didn't go low enough. So when you're up seventeen to
nothing a joke, right, You're.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Like, there's no way this is wrong.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
He's gonna say fifty now nineteen yards rushing for the
Miami Dolphins. When you can't hold leads in professional football,
when you can't salt the clock away, the Dolphins are
so weak upfront on both sides. They're defensive line, their
offensive line, they just get pushed around. Yeah, they are
a soft football team. I don't think they're bad.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I really don't. They're one and four.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
They can be competitive, but when it comes down to
being tough but putting a team away, which is what
tough teams do, they can't do it.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Speaking of tough teams that can't do anything right, Las
Vegas Raiders took another l this weekend.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I think the Colts are for real. Though the Raiders
are a bad team. I'm not letting your team off
the hook. They're just not very interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Against the Raiders and against Miami were two of the highlights.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Of my way. But credit to the Colts.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
There are two teams right now that are in the
NFL that are averaging more than thirty two points per game.
One is the Lions, no surprise there right their machine,
and the other is the Colts. Yeah, they're beating up
on bad teams, but they are smothering.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
These bad teams, and that's what good teams do.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
They are everything that everything I said about the Dolphins,
the Cults are the antithesis of that.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
They are tough, they will run it down your throat.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
They'll tackle you when they need to get tackles, and
and and they they went out of their way yesterday
they were up thirty eight to three and their coach
went for two. They're up thirty eight to three, just
kick the extra point. The opponent's not coming back. I
was like this, that is that was my official buy
into the Colts. Like that when these when these guys
(08:01):
are like, you're not ever gonna you can't stop us,
So why would we even kick an extra point? Try
and stop our two point conversion a little up forty
to three instead, And they.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Did, all right, d uh.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
And then our Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but they have to
tell you, of course the Jacks plays the Knights.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
We don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
We'll give your I'll let you give your expectations of
how they're gonna do against the Chiefs tonight in Jacksonville.
But man, are Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They are a gritty team.
And you know even though they they are like literally
they they're like the Cardiac Buccaneers because they it just
seems like they can only win in the last five
minutes of a football game. But they just hang around
enough and give themselves enough credit or get enough chances.
(08:34):
And I watched the end of the game yesterday. It
was amazing, and Baker walked that team down there with
just a few minutes left after being scored on, didn't
even think twice about it, didn't affect the way he
played at all.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
He is an incredible leader and he has worked himself
legitimately into the MVP conversation early on in the season
with what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The Bucks are among the top.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Three most injured teams in the NFL when it comes
to their star players. You see what that's doing to
the Ravens who got this weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
One and four.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Who would have thought the Bucks aren't even at full strength.
They haven't been at full strength all year in a
single game they have played. And they went on the
road in Seattle. Seattle was buzzing. They were wearing the throwbacks.
The Mariners were playing a baseball playoff game right across
the street a couple of hours later that I mean,
those fans were ready to go and it didn't matter. Unfazed.
(09:22):
The leadership employs the Baker shows.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
It's awesome, simply amazing stuff. And then tonight we have
the Jags and the Chiefs, and you know, yeah, I
think this is gonna be a good game. Who knows
what Kansas City team is gonna show up. I mean
Jacksonville at home. They don't look that terrible. It feels
like they're one cog off. That's what it feels like,
if you had a gear in their mess together. It
feels like maybe they're one off. And they're so close
to being in perfect time, and I think they could
(09:46):
give the Chiefs a fit to night.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
They need to get a turnover early in this game.
The Chiefs are starting to feel themselves offensively. Scary thing
because you know they can bring it on defense. And
you know that Mahomes, if he's in a game down
the stretch, you're in trouble. But the Jags have been
forcing turnovers. They already have four more turnovers this year
than they had all of last season. Really, I didn't
know that they've really turned things around. Campinelli's their new
(10:09):
defensive coordinator. He has these guys swarming to the football.
I think the game is going to be close. I
will take the Jags tonight.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Oh well, I have them as well, because I just
don't think it's the same Kansas City they're a little
bit older, and I do think that defense is good.
But I think if the Jags do get off, maybe
get a turnover, get an early touchdown, a big maybe
a big completion downfield, I think you get set them
back on their heels.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
They could do something crazy. I thought you guys were
done with Trevor Lawrence. Okay, we're not.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
So this one player, Liam Cohen has turned Trevor Lawrence
into what he needs to be at this point, a
game manager. They run the football well, they play good defense.
Just don't let Trevor kill you, right, and he can
make big throws when you need him to, But if
you're asking him to do that for four quarters, he's
gonna screw you over.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Eventually.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Give me all one minute on the Magic. They had
their first preseason game this this weekend.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
They won. Of course, we can't put a lot of
a lot of water in that bucket. What did you see?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah, it's really just about getting out of the preseason unscathed.
Unscathed for this team. Health is going to be the
biggest factor for them. The Magic are legitimately a top
three team roster wise in the Eastern Conference entering into
the season. Partially because of circumstance. The Pacers lost Tyres
Halliburton in the finals. Last year, the Celtics lost Jason Tatum,
(11:22):
the Bucks lost Damian Lillard, and the Magic added Desmond Baine,
one of the best sharpshooters in the league. They clearly
needed three point shooting. They are one of the best
defensive teams in the NBA. And you look at the
other two teams that are there with them, the Calves
and the Knicks. The Knicks played as good a season
as they possibly could. I can't imagine it gets any better.
They even fired their head coach because they were so
(11:44):
frustrated in the way that it ended. And the Calves
cannot avoid the injury bug when they get to the playoffs.
They kind of run their guys into the ground. The
Magic have a real, legitimate not just a Homer opinion.
I am one, but this isn't just a Homer opinion.
They have a legitimate chance to make it to the
NBA Finals this year. I haven't said that since twenty ten.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Wow, unbelievable. God job today, Buddy, always get seen you. Yes,
give it a good laugh for Brandon.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Gravit ninety six of the game every day three o'clock

This sure, let's move on the NFL because we are

No excuse to lose that game.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
You're up seventeen to nothing against the Carolina Panthers, who

are a bad team. I'm not letting your team off
the hook. They're just not very interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Against the Raiders and against Miami were two of the highlights.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Of my way. But credit to the Colts.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
There are two teams right now that are in the
NFL that are averaging more than thirty two points per game.
One is the Lions, no surprise there right their machine,
and the other is the Colts. Yeah, they're beating up
on bad teams, but they are smothering.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
These bad teams, and that's what good teams do.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
They are everything that everything I said about the Dolphins,
the Cults are the antithesis of that.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
They are tough, they will run it down your throat.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
They'll tackle you when they need to get tackles, and
and and they they went out of their way yesterday
they were up thirty eight to three and their coach
went for two. They're up thirty eight to three, just
kick the extra point. The opponent's not coming back. I
was like this, that is that was my official buy
into the Colts. Like that when these when these guys
(08:01):
are like, you're not ever gonna you can't stop us,
So why would we even kick an extra point? Try
and stop our two point conversion a little up forty
to three instead, And they.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Did, all right, d uh.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
And then our Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but they have to
tell you, of course the Jacks plays the Knights.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
We don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
We'll give your I'll let you give your expectations of
how they're gonna do against the Chiefs tonight in Jacksonville.
But man, are Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They are a gritty team.
And you know even though they they are like literally
they they're like the Cardiac Buccaneers because they it just
seems like they can only win in the last five
minutes of a football game. But they just hang around
enough and give themselves enough credit or get enough chances.
(08:34):
And I watched the end of the game yesterday. It
was amazing, and Baker walked that team down there with
just a few minutes left after being scored on, didn't
even think twice about it, didn't affect the way he
played at all.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
He is an incredible leader and he has worked himself
legitimately into the MVP conversation early on in the season
with what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The Bucks are among the top.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Three most injured teams in the NFL when it comes
to their star players. You see what that's doing to
the Ravens who got this weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
One and four.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Who would have thought the Bucks aren't even at full strength.
They haven't been at full strength all year in a
single game they have played. And they went on the
road in Seattle. Seattle was buzzing. They were wearing the throwbacks.
The Mariners were playing a baseball playoff game right across
the street a couple of hours later that I mean,
those fans were ready to go and it didn't matter. Unfazed.
(09:22):
The leadership employs the Baker shows.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
It's awesome, simply amazing stuff. And then tonight we have
the Jags and the Chiefs, and you know, yeah, I
think this is gonna be a good game. Who knows
what Kansas City team is gonna show up. I mean
Jacksonville at home. They don't look that terrible. It feels
like they're one cog off. That's what it feels like,
if you had a gear in their mess together. It
feels like maybe they're one off. And they're so close
to being in perfect time, and I think they could
(09:46):
give the Chiefs a fit to night.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
They need to get a turnover early in this game.
The Chiefs are starting to feel themselves offensively. Scary thing
because you know they can bring it on defense. And
you know that Mahomes, if he's in a game down
the stretch, you're in trouble. But the Jags have been
forcing turnovers. They already have four more turnovers this year
than they had all of last season. Really, I didn't
know that they've really turned things around. Campinelli's their new
(10:09):
defensive coordinator. He has these guys swarming to the football.
I think the game is going to be close. I
will take the Jags tonight.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Oh well, I have them as well, because I just
don't think it's the same Kansas City they're a little
bit older, and I do think that defense is good.
But I think if the Jags do get off, maybe
get a turnover, get an early touchdown, a big maybe
a big completion downfield, I think you get set them
back on their heels.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
They could do something crazy. I thought you guys were
done with Trevor Lawrence. Okay, we're not.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
So this one player, Liam Cohen has turned Trevor Lawrence
into what he needs to be at this point, a
game manager. They run the football well, they play good defense.
Just don't let Trevor kill you, right, and he can
make big throws when you need him to, But if
you're asking him to do that for four quarters, he's
gonna screw you over.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Eventually.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Give me all one minute on the Magic. They had
their first preseason game this this weekend.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
They won. Of course, we can't put a lot of
a lot of water in that bucket. What did you see?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah, it's really just about getting out of the preseason unscathed.
Unscathed for this team. Health is going to be the
biggest factor for them. The Magic are legitimately a top
three team roster wise in the Eastern Conference entering into
the season. Partially because of circumstance. The Pacers lost Tyres
Halliburton in the finals. Last year, the Celtics lost Jason Tatum,
(11:22):
the Bucks lost Damian Lillard, and the Magic added Desmond Baine,
one of the best sharpshooters in the league. They clearly
needed three point shooting. They are one of the best
defensive teams in the NBA. And you look at the
other two teams that are there with them, the Calves
and the Knicks. The Knicks played as good a season
as they possibly could. I can't imagine it gets any better.
They even fired their head coach because they were so
(11:44):
frustrated in the way that it ended. And the Calves
cannot avoid the injury bug when they get to the playoffs.
They kind of run their guys into the ground. The
Magic have a real, legitimate not just a Homer opinion.
I am one, but this isn't just a Homer opinion.
They have a legitimate chance to make it to the
NBA Finals this year. I haven't said that since twenty ten.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Wow, unbelievable. God job today, Buddy, always get seen you. Yes,
give it a good laugh for Brandon.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Gravit ninety six of the game every day three o'clock
along with Mike b Yankey all the way.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It'll six you can hear him right.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
There, ye, thank you all right man, good sceneing all
right for seven nine one six one o four one
to take a little break, come back with our buddy
Ray Trientley.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
It's uh, we'll do that right up for this
