Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
The legendary sportscaster war A Wolf is up next and
he has a lot to say, so I'm gonna let
him get right to it.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Good morning, Warner, all right, good morning, Thank you, Larry.
All right. So the Giants, even with the loss, Russell
Wilson had a career high four hundred and fifty yards.
He saved his job for at least, I would think
the next four games against the Chiefs, Charger, Saints, and Eagles,
and had delayed any calls for Jackson Dart. Defensive wise, however,

(00:32):
the Giants had a franchise record one hundred and sixty
yards in penalties, and Brian de Ball I thought may
have cost the Giants the game. Remember early third quarter,
leading thirteen to ten, he had a fourth and three
after Dallas ten, and he passed up the field goal
which would have made it sixteen to ten and possibly

(00:56):
changed the game because Dallas might have had to go
for a touchdown rather than that sixty four yard field goal.
That's second guest. But even at the time, I said, hey, man,
kick the field goal. As far as the Jets go,
who is Aaron Glenn gonna fire this week? You can't

(01:18):
fire fifty three guys that they were never in the
game and the suspicious college football coach of the week.
Iowa was a thirty four and a half point favorite
over U mass but they led by only thirty three
points late in the fourth quarter. Did Iowa sit on
the ball and try and run some time off the clock. No,

(01:41):
they passed for another touchdown to beat the spread and
win by forty forty seven to seven. Why well, obviously
the Iowa coach bent on his own team and gave
the thirty four and a half points What else? And
welcome to the big leagues and robot managing baseball? Mets

(02:06):
right added rookie Brandon Sprout, in his second start in
the majors Saturday, had a one nothing lead over Texas
after six innings and Mets manager Carlos Mendoza took him
out after only seventy pitches. Result, the Mets mighty bullpen
featuring erratic closer Edwin Diaz, lost the game three to two.

(02:31):
He was the late Davy Johnson who recently passed away.
He was asked if he could manage in today's game.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
No, I don't like guys putting garbage in the computer
and garbage coming out and then telling the field manager
how dumb he is. And if they were going to
try to tell me that, I tell him to jump
off a roof and I wouldn't last a month.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Now, he's one of the great managers of all time,
telling you it man analytics, forget it, pitch count forget it,
and change the rule. How do you blow a save
and still get a win? The Twins Cold Sands came
in with a six to four lead over Arizona in
the top of the ninth, blew the save and gave

(03:16):
up four runs, but the Twins scored three in the
bottom of the ninth to win the game nine to eight.
So Sands, who blew the save with a lousy job,
is the winning pitcher. Something's wrong with that rule And
this is for you, Larry. Angels Kyle Hendrix gave up

(03:36):
ten hits and nine runs in yesterday's Angels Mariners game
before Angels manager Rave Montgomery took him out in the
fourth inning. What's the question, Larry.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
When did they know he didn't have it?

Speaker 1 (03:51):
That's it. We're on the ball. So Aaron Judge passed
Joe Demagio's three hundred his Demajou had three sixty one
judge at number three sixty two last night for fourth
place for most home runs as a Yankee, behind Ruth
Mannel and Garry. But wait a minute, time out. It's

(04:15):
only three hundred and ninety nine feet to the power
alley and left center where Demago hit a lot of
his balls. For Demaggio, he played all thirteen years when
it was four hundred and fifty seven feet to the
power alleys and left center. That's fifty eight feet longer.

(04:35):
Now you got to do the math. Seventy seven home
games a year times thirteen seasons is over one thousand games.
You don't think Demasio would have had more than three
hundred and sixty one home runs. Of course, he would
have had close to five hundred. Basketball If you've been

(04:57):
on the following basketball teams last year, including Arizona State
Temple in Eastern Michigan and lost, there may have been
a good reason. A total of thirteen players from the
six schools are being investigated by the NCAA for betting
on the games. Now certainly no surprise since the legalization

(05:23):
of open sports betting and advertising on radio and TV,
and in basketball, it's one of the easiest games to fix,
you only have to get one out of five starting players,
unlike the other sports. And who's to say a misshot
or a bad pass was on purpose? All thirteen players

(05:47):
are not returning back to school all right. Time Now
for the three stooges, hit it okay? Stage number one
New York Times writer Gail Collins, whose headline read eight
months Trump, how much do you remember from the president's
second term? How much do you remember, a, Gail? Where

(06:07):
will you still asleep from Biden's four years? How about
closing the borders that had previously let in over eight
million illegal immigrants. Come on, man, that's enough loan to remember.
Stug'e number two. The NFL they banned a fan only

(06:28):
indefinitely who reached over the low wall in the Bills
Ravens game and shoved the Ravens DeAndre Hopkins and Lamar
Jackson know the fans should be banned for life from
all stadiums. He could have poked one of the players
or both of them in the eye. Now, if you're

(06:48):
a player, like in Green Bay, and you jump into stands,
well that's a different story. All bets are off and
stu'e number three, Bernie Sanders who criticized this, fellow Democratic
leaders were failing to publicly endorse socialist Zoran Mandami. Hey, Schmendrick,

(07:08):
at least some of your fellow Democrats are smart enough
to know that socialism never works, It never has worked,
and wouldn't work here in New York. Everything for free?
Oh yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
I agree with you one thousand percent. Water, Thanks so much.
Water Wolf, legendary sportscaster with us every Monday at seven
point thirty five, and he got it all in. I
had the over on this list.
