Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's get to Warner to Wolf, legendary sportscaster with us
every Monday at seven thirty five. This is exciting, Warner.
The Giants fans have something to cheer for, something to watch.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Well, time out before you say Jackson dart is the
most is the next Eli Manning or Phil Simms or
Ya Tiddle. The fact is he had only one hundred
and eleven yards passing. That's fair. That is not gonna
(00:33):
win many ballgames. The Giants had only one touchdown drive
the entire game. The other touchdown drive was only three yards,
set up by an interception. The fact is the defense
won the game. So hold off on Jack the Dark
(00:55):
one hundred and eleven yard I'm not gonna make it.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Larry, Yeah, he just here's something about him that's fun
to watch. There's something about him that's exciting. And I
don't think Giants fans have had anything to watch.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I agree with that. Yeah, sure, anything would have been
an improvement.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
That's true. That's true.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
So the Jets two and a half point hunterdog in
Miami tonight baseball. It's not how much you spend, but
how you spend it. Steve Cohen and the Mets had
the highest payroll in baseball history, three hundred and thirty
three million dollars and didn't make the playoffs. You know
who did make the playoffs? Teams like Cleveland. Their payroll
(01:40):
is only one hundred million, Cincinnati one hundred and sixteen million,
Detroit one hundred and forty million. You got to know
how to spend it, man, And oh, this is why
NFL coaches hire at least ten assistant coaches. After the
(02:00):
Falcons were blown out last week by Carolina thirty to nothing,
did the Falcons fire the head coach? No? Did they
fire the offensive coordinator? No, they fired the wide receivers coach.
All thing coach says, don't blame me, No, and how
(02:24):
about this, what have you done for me lately? The
bull of the league goes to the athletic director of
Oklahoma State. They fired their longtime successful head coach, Mike Gundy,
who had eighteen consecutive winning seasons. He was eighty games
over five hundred. Oklahoma State was now paid Gundy fifteen
(02:47):
million dollars not to coach Oklahoma State and the robot
manager in Baseball of the Week, No complete games on
my watch, No Robot Red Sox manager Alex Cora took
out his staughter left handed Garrett Crochet, who is now
(03:09):
eighteen and five and a candidate for the Saion Award
after eight innings with a seven to nothing lead of
leveling only three hits against the Jays. Why because he
threw one hundred pitches, Hey Robot. Let the man try
and get three more outs and help him win the
cy Young Award. All right, you're ready for the oh
(03:34):
the three stoogents, I got one. I've got one at
a time. All right, do you want a movie review? First?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Now? Three?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It is? Oh? Well, first of all, the heckling fans
at Beth Page during the Ryder Cup. Even as players
were ready to take the shots, New York State troopers
were brought in. Two fans were ejected. What they should
be banned from all golf tournaments for life? Stuge number
(04:06):
two Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin, who when asked who would
win this past Saturday's LSU Mississippi game after it was
revealed that his daughter dates an LSU linebacker, he said,
take the over. He told the fans to take the over.
(04:30):
That's based on the total points scored between the two teams.
The over was fifty seven and a half. The final
score was twenty four to nineteen Mississippi. That's only forty
three points. So the coach all his followers took the
coach's tip and lost. So if you took the over,
(04:51):
you lost. You can't do that. You're the coach at
Stuge Number three New York Times writer Adam Sternberg, whose
headline said upon his return that Jimmy Kimmel rose to
the occasion. Wow, rose to the occasion. What were you watching?
(05:13):
Kimmel never once said I'm sorry for lying, accusing the
magagam for Charlie Kirk's murder, and also said his comments
could have been misconstrued. Misconstrued, what a phony you think?
He rose to the occasion? Man, what are you smoking?
(05:37):
All right, that's the three stooges. You're ready for a
movie review?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yes, although I know what you're going to review and
I've never watched it. Oh so sorry.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Let me explain. It's the first time I went to
a movie in two years. I don't go to the theater,
you know. I watched Netflix or Turner Classic Movie, the
old movie Sit at Home. I went to the movies
and saw Downton Abby Grand Finale two hours, three minutes.
I thought it was great. If you were a Downton
(06:10):
Abby fan of the six TV episodes, you'll think this
is fantastic. I don't want to give it away. Excuse me,
but Lady Mary gets a divorce, which was a big
scandal in England in nineteen thirty and Lady Cora's American
brother played by Paul Giamatti, cost the whole family big
(06:35):
money with bad investments. But I would That's all I'm
going to say about it. I thought it was terrific.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, I've heard nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Only this week in sports, Larry Okay, go ahead fifty
years ago this week October the first nineteen seventy five
with a billion TV viewers that included the HBO. Everything
was paid per view then theaters you remember used that
movie theater pay and watch its fight. Well, the champion
(07:05):
Muhammad Ali and the challenger Joe Fraser had their third
fight called The Thriller in Manila in the Philippines, which
ended after fourteen brutal rounds when Fraser's manager, Eddie Futch
would not let Fraser come out for the fifteenth and
final round. After the fight, Ali who was ahead on
(07:27):
all three scorecards. By the way, said it was the
closest thing he had ever come to death, and that
af Fraser had come out for the fifteenth round, he
would not have come out. Years later, I asked Fraser
if he thought his original manager, Yank Durham, who died
of a stroke two years before, would have let him
(07:49):
come out for the fifteenth round, and he said yes.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Wow, Dal, it's one of the most famous fights, if
not the most famous fight of all time. Waterwolf legendary
