Speaker 1 (00:01):
Now it's around the sports k T quints as all
the sports.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yes, it was the first week of college football. I
think Max Rogers will be the head coach at Alabama
by the end of the year. I'd be great for anywhere.
Huge like that panic meter high in Tuscaloosa. Texas lost
to Ohio State the big game, number three Ohio State
hosting number one Texas. Lee Corso's final college game day,
(00:31):
by the way, went six to zero on his picks.
Are we sending the guy out to pasture too soon? No,
because they let him speak a little bit on college
game day and they shouldn't have. I'm not gonna pull
it like Elder Abuse.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
He can barely finished sentences, but he's ninety one. It
was I got a choked up watching it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It was you're eating something. No, no, no. I was like,
you know, this is a part of my life and
it's gone.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Now.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, it's gone. So Texas loses.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Not a lot of offense happening, and uh, you know
they could have won. There's a quarterback sneak on fourth
and goal with the one you know you get in
maybe it's a different game. There was another play where
if you score when they were down at the one
yard line two and it was an incomplete pass where
we scored. Okay, different game, last drive, got the ball
a chance to go, tie the game down by seven.
There's a wide open receiver running across the field and
(01:23):
uh arch Manning, with pressure in his face, gal happy
feet and slung it and then he got memed all
weekend as Uncle Rico as just a kid running a
go route and it hits the dumpster on the side.
I mean, you name it, you can find it. It's
arch Manning was memed. They put crying Jordan on Bevo.
(01:44):
It was tough.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
God, I was crying Jordan in forever. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It was the return of it, and you know what,
it was the perfect use of it because it was
pretty funny. But number one Texas probably who lost eight
starters and offense probably shouldn't have been number one, probably
should have been number three. Defending champion Ohio State probably
should have been number one.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I didn't realize they had lost that many starters on offense.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I think arch Manning will be fine, but it was
kind of interesting to see the overreaction all weekend. I
don't know if y'all got to take any of that
in because it was a It was kind of wild.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Afterwards.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I saw a lot of people going, all right, if
y'all are gonna call Browny a NEPO baby, then how
come we're not doing the same thing with arch Manning.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Yeah, it's just a summer league versus local Ohio state
on the road.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, that seems fair. The next three.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Fourteen seven, yeah, fourteen seven, Ok. Yeah, their next three
games against nobody's and he'll put up huge numbers. We
had a couple of great passes that no one's talking about,
like he'll be fine or they go one and two.
I thought it was a pretty dirty booth last night.
I did tune in to Chapel Bill, which would be
TCU shout out for Worth. It was interesting for about
six minutes TCU in North Carolina. TCU won forty eight
(02:51):
to seventeen. I think things got a little sexual in
the booth with the hurt Street and reach date.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
You should mention, what's that score again, forty eight seventeen
LINU score. Keep in mind Carolina scored first. Yeah, so
then they got outscored forty eight to ten for the
remainder of the game.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
You hate to see it. Let's go to the booth though,
and just see how why were things so perverted.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Everyone's excited you and I included coming get it out,
but he tried to squeeze it in to the big
tight end. Curtis on the back end. That was Jordan
getting any tip you can get. And they have been
stride for stride on those deep balls. Put them in
an even bigger hole.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Gets man Jack on the grab Panjack to make a
big grab earlier had to take some manibiotics for it
got way worse.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I didn't realize is just how susceptible it is to spreading.
So if you have any contact with other people, they
can spread quickly.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
No, no, I'm chucklingman.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I wasn't twice scratching. That couldn't be pleasant. What a
great package they put together.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
The big controversy though, from this game, outside of Bill
Belichick and his girlfriend being on the sidelines or Cotton
signs for a portion of the game. I don't know
if she was on there. That's a little thing. Like
Michael was on the training table for like six minutes.
He wasn't down to the whole game, so I doubt
she was down there the whole game, but she was
talking to him on the sidelines for a minute, which
(04:17):
you know should probably never happen.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Ever, such a bad he's so terrible.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
That guy was so gruff and so all about football
for decades and now we have this.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
But we have a little hot mic situation here Kirk
Kirk Street. So you're gonna hear him before they're back
to action, and my computer is ready for it.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Hold order's starting here in Chapel Hill. It has been
all TCU. Huh, okay, it happens. Those hot money's still
laughing cold orders starting here in Chapel Hill. It has
been all okay. Yep, he did tweet. Must be a night.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Not sure why this is so confusing. I said, you're
bad to my spotter for something funny, he said, when
we were coming back on air.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Instead of making things up.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So making up things, I said, how about giving Reese,
Holly and I some love for getting through that game?
Those games are by far the toughest games your announcers
have to call. I contend that it's worse if he's
saying you're bad to someone in the booth while he
made this sound, Oh my god, you're bad.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
That's gonna get his Cincinnati Reds play by play guy fired.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's worse than saying North Carolina's bad. We all know
they're bad, So why is it you don't have to dude,
you don't have to defend that. Everyone knows North Carolina's bad.
They were last night.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
In reading this tweet, I want to play a classic
piece of audio if you don't mind. Yeah, the tweet,
you read the bat, you combined it with two tweets.
But when I saw it this morning, I thought of
a website that me and Ben did an add for
already says instead of making up things I said. It
immediately made me think of this classic endorsement me and
Ben did.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Hi.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
I'm Jeff skin Wade from the Ben and Skin Show
here with my friend Ben, and we wanted to tell
you about the new website called set It, a site
that Ben and I are invested in play with our balls.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Skin and I have been friends since nineteen eighty two,
but we've also been friends with many other people over
the years as well, people who claim to have said
something even though you're not sure if they really said
it or not. For example, I was playing Fortnite with
Jason Big Steve and a cop from prosper the other
night made a joke and then the cop said, that's
(06:40):
what I said. Now with set it a website that
Skin and I are invested in, play with our balls.
You can log into the website and claim the things
you have said before, so nobody questions if you said
it or not. All you have to do is log in,
type in the phrase that you said, and it's all yours.
Before long, everyone will know that you were the one
who said it, said it, You said it.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
Now we believe you, sup loser because I said it.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
See Kirk kurb Street should just go to that website
and then clear all this up.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
So good, All right?
Speaker 6 (07:13):
Coming up in three minutes the second part of Around
the Sports, a cowboy did get a big contract and surprise,
look who is on fire right now? That's all coming
up just over three minutes.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Ben and Skin Show ninety seven point one the Egle. Hey,
you want to win those Addison October Fest tickets for
September eighteenth to the twenty first, be listening. We'll give
away sometime in the next hour and a half. We'll
have a clue from the show and you'll use that
iHeart app talkback feature for your chance to win. True
Crime Turner returns with the legendary Cold Case. We'll do
(07:46):
that at the bottom of the hour, but we're doing
part two of Around the Sports and with more here's kt.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yes, so we are.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
We got a contract done finally, guys. We had a
contract down with Drown Bland. Yes, four years, ninety two
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
That not seem like too much to you, guys. I
don't know if I followed the league close enough to.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Me and like a lot to me. What was his
quote from it? Was what I first saw it. I
was like, Wow, that's a lot of money. And then
he had a comment like wow, I had no idea
I was ever gonna make this much money. And it
was almost like they were compensating for not paying Mica,
so they overpaid Bland.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
But I could be wrong. That was just my initial take.
What did you think, Katie?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I thought that I can't grill them for doing a
deal early when I if you're hard on for doing
deals late, if they're gonna get one done early with
the guy who you want here at a position that
you need taken care of at all times, I had
no problem with it. I had a bigger problem with
the Jake Ferguson friendly deal because Ferguson steal was much smaller,
(08:48):
and I find tit ends to be I don't know,
just not as important.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So yeah, you're right, Yeah, corners you're gonna need.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
If Treyvon dis has a good year, you're going to
next year going Trayvon digs and Drawn Bland my cornerbacks,
they both have a good.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Year, that would be fantastic. That's what I thought going
into last year. He got hurt.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You drafted third round of revel, like you You've got
ways to look at this that are like, all right,
this could ended up very nice.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Are we still high on elim?
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I don't think anyone's expecting anything out of him. Besides,
we need you to play some snaps.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I mean the first two weeks of training camp they
were talking about him being one of the five best
players in camp.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, so you know, get it, like it depends you're
at that point you're counting on him maybe not having
to play much. I mean you're playing back, then you're
playing on him having to play a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Right now that.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Trayvon yesterday says seventy five to eighty percent chance he
plays Thursday night, which should be a week ahead of time, which,
by the way, ahead of time.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Okay, so it's.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Fine that he went to Florida and did his workouts,
like if you're on, if you're ready to go. He
was at training camp, like, if you're ready to go,
I don't. I kind of have a problem with that, honestly,
are they still finding him like they?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Uh no, I think they are.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
They did it right, yeah, but why they should say, well,
if you're ready to go, week one will reimburse you,
we'll pay you back. You won't have to pay that.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
But you have to publicly go out there and say
you're not friends with Micah anymore.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
It's the little things like that though, just whatever's that
starts to Like, everyone's gonna play for the Cowboys, so
it probably doesn't matter the little thing the Packers and
Cowboys are fighting, or the Cowboys are fighting over with
Micah about his tag his fifth year option, well, twenty
one million if if he's as an edge twenty four
million as a linebacker.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
That was gonna go to court and Green Bay's like, no,
let's give it. Give you the extra three million as
a linebacker. Good vibes you don't like, right, Good vibes
are important, and I think it would be kind of helpful.
I think all the players are so exhaustive with the
Mica thing. The thing that's jumping out to me. So
Bland is paid the sixth highest paid corner. That's below
Patrick Sartan, who's probably the best corner in the league
(10:48):
in Denver, and that means the Cowboys have two of
the top ten highest paid corners in the league.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Do you have Trayvon's deal there? I do.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Uh, it was five years, ninety seven million, and he'll
have a couple of years left on that. So four
and ninety two, two years later, his deal would technically
be up in twenty after twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
All right, you know, so seems like they've paid Land
more than Trayvon.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Uh No, well, oh yeah, because four ninety two verse
five and ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, but again that was two years ago when the
Trayvon Digs deal happened, So you have you know, there's
a bit of time on this, Okay. I think like
you should not be going cornerback as a problem though.
If you have two of the top ten paid corners
in the league, and I don't know that we have
a lot of faith that's going to be the case.
Four teams are just gonna run the ball honest and
(11:37):
won't really matter.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Not now we got Kenny Clark, dude.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
But drawn Blake can also play inside if someone gets hurt.
He like didn't want to do that. He wanted to
play outside to get his money. But he can jump inside.
I think it's good business. He is seen as a
not a leader, but a you know, he doesn't talk.
He's a quiet guy, but like lead by example type.
Blah blah blah. He's got pretty good proof of interceptions.
(12:02):
You know, you can see all that. So I don't
have problem with it. I think we don't think of
him because you know, he got hurt last year, that's why.
But he had nine interceptions his second year, I mean
fourteen interceptions the first two years.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
They're really good. Are we talking about Digs or Bland? Now? Bland?
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Okay, what was Diggs? Diggs had a ton of interceptions
his rookie year, right.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
He went Digs went seven, No, he went three eleven three.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Okay, think of the second year.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
I don't like, I don't have a ton of confidence
in digs.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I just don't. I don't mean neither.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
You know, I wonder if he's one of those guys
who got paid and lost his fire, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I just I don't know.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
I'd see him and he was dressed like a vampire,
and I'm like, man, what's happened? Did you got dazzle
those jeans yourself? Like, I don't know, Man, I just
I've lost confidence in him as a player.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
And maybe that's my bad. Well, no, I mean I
feel the same way. For me.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
It's more about back to back major injuries. When you
when you're playing pro football and you have two seasons
lost back to back to injury, I just write you off.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I do think this is set up too. If the
bland thing gets bad, they can get out of it.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
So okay, uh.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Coming up next, True Crime Turner, a wild story of
a cold case turned into a movie that's coming up next.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Before
Now it's around the sports k T quints as all
the sports.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yes, it was the first week of college football. I
think Max Rogers will be the head coach at Alabama
by the end of the year. I'd be great for anywhere.
Huge like that panic meter high in Tuscaloosa. Texas lost
to Ohio State the big game, number three Ohio State
hosting number one Texas. Lee Corso's final college game day,
(00:31):
by the way, went six to zero on his picks.
Are we sending the guy out to pasture too soon? No,
because they let him speak a little bit on college
game day and they shouldn't have. I'm not gonna pull
it like Elder Abuse.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
He can barely finished sentences, but he's ninety one. It
was I got a choked up watching it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It was you're eating something. No, no, no. I was like,
you know, this is a part of my life and
it's gone.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Now.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, it's gone. So Texas loses.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Not a lot of offense happening, and uh, you know
they could have won. There's a quarterback sneak on fourth
and goal with the one you know you get in
maybe it's a different game. There was another play where
if you score when they were down at the one
yard line two and it was an incomplete pass where
we scored. Okay, different game, last drive, got the ball
a chance to go, tie the game down by seven.
There's a wide open receiver running across the field and
(01:23):
uh arch Manning, with pressure in his face, gal happy
feet and slung it and then he got memed all
weekend as Uncle Rico as just a kid running a
go route and it hits the dumpster on the side.
I mean, you name it, you can find it. It's
arch Manning was memed. They put crying Jordan on Bevo.
(01:44):
It was tough.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
God, I was crying Jordan in forever. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It was the return of it, and you know what,
it was the perfect use of it because it was
pretty funny. But number one Texas probably who lost eight

should have been number one.
Speaker 3 (02:01):

Yeah, it's just a summer league versus local Ohio state
on the road.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, that seems fair. The next three.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Fourteen seven, yeah, fourteen seven, Ok. Yeah, their next three

Speaker 2 (07:53):
We got a contract done finally, guys. We had a
contract down with Drown Bland. Yes, four years, ninety two
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
That not seem like too much to you, guys. I
don't know if I followed the league close enough to.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Me and like a lot to me. What was his
quote from it? Was what I first saw it. I
was like, Wow, that's a lot of money. And then
he had a comment like wow, I had no idea
I was ever gonna make this much money. And it
was almost like they were compensating for not paying Mica,
so they overpaid Bland.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
But I could be wrong. That was just my initial take.
What did you think, Katie?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I thought that I can't grill them for doing a
deal early when I if you're hard on for doing
deals late, if they're gonna get one done early with
the guy who you want here at a position that
you need taken care of at all times, I had
no problem with it. I had a bigger problem with
the Jake Ferguson friendly deal because Ferguson steal was much smaller,
(08:48):
and I find tit ends to be I don't know,
just not as important.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So yeah, you're right, Yeah, corners you're gonna need.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
If Treyvon dis has a good year, you're going to
next year going Trayvon digs and Drawn Bland my cornerbacks,
they both have a good.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Year, that would be fantastic. That's what I thought going
into last year. He got hurt.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You drafted third round of revel, like you You've got
ways to look at this that are like, all right,
this could ended up very nice.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Are we still high on elim?
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I don't think anyone's expecting anything out of him. Besides,
we need you to play some snaps.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I mean the first two weeks of training camp they
were talking about him being one of the five best
players in camp.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, so you know, get it, like it depends you're
at that point you're counting on him maybe not having
to play much. I mean you're playing back, then you're
playing on him having to play a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Right now that.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Trayvon yesterday says seventy five to eighty percent chance he
plays Thursday night, which should be a week ahead of time, which,
by the way, ahead of time.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Okay, so it's.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Fine that he went to Florida and did his workouts,
like if you're on, if you're ready to go. He
was at training camp, like, if you're ready to go,
I don't. I kind of have a problem with that, honestly,
are they still finding him like they?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Uh no, I think they are.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
They did it right, yeah, but why they should say, well,
if you're ready to go, week one will reimburse you,
we'll pay you back. You won't have to pay that.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
But you have to publicly go out there and say
you're not friends with Micah anymore.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
It's the little things like that though, just whatever's that
starts to Like, everyone's gonna play for the Cowboys, so
it probably doesn't matter the little thing the Packers and
Cowboys are fighting, or the Cowboys are fighting over with
Micah about his tag his fifth year option, well, twenty
one million if if he's as an edge twenty four
million as a linebacker.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
That was gonna go to court and Green Bay's like, no,
let's give it. Give you the extra three million as
a linebacker. Good vibes you don't like, right, Good vibes
are important, and I think it would be kind of helpful.
I think all the players are so exhaustive with the
Mica thing. The thing that's jumping out to me. So
Bland is paid the sixth highest paid corner. That's below
Patrick Sartan, who's probably the best corner in the league
(10:48):
in Denver, and that means the Cowboys have two of
the top ten highest paid corners in the league.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Do you have Trayvon's deal there? I do.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Uh, it was five years, ninety seven million, and he'll
have a couple of years left on that. So four
and ninety two, two years later, his deal would technically
be up in twenty after twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
All right, you know, so seems like they've paid Land
more than Trayvon.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Uh No, well, oh yeah, because four ninety two verse
five and ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, but again that was two years ago when the
Trayvon Digs deal happened, So you have you know, there's
a bit of time on this, Okay. I think like
you should not be going cornerback as a problem though.
If you have two of the top ten paid corners
in the league, and I don't know that we have
a lot of faith that's going to be the case.
Four teams are just gonna run the ball honest and
(11:37):
won't really matter.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Not now we got Kenny Clark, dude.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
But drawn Blake can also play inside if someone gets hurt.
He like didn't want to do that. He wanted to
play outside to get his money. But he can jump inside.
I think it's good business. He is seen as a
not a leader, but a you know, he doesn't talk.
He's a quiet guy, but like lead by example type.
Blah blah blah. He's got pretty good proof of interceptions.
(12:02):
You know, you can see all that. So I don't
have problem with it. I think we don't think of
him because you know, he got hurt last year, that's why.
But he had nine interceptions his second year, I mean
fourteen interceptions the first two years.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
They're really good. Are we talking about Digs or Bland? Now? Bland?
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Okay, what was Diggs? Diggs had a ton of interceptions
his rookie year, right.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
He went Digs went seven, No, he went three eleven three.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Okay, think of the second year.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
I don't like, I don't have a ton of confidence
in digs.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I just don't. I don't mean neither.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
You know, I wonder if he's one of those guys
who got paid and lost his fire, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I just I don't know.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
I'd see him and he was dressed like a vampire,
and I'm like, man, what's happened? Did you got dazzle
those jeans yourself? Like, I don't know, Man, I just
I've lost confidence in him as a player.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
And maybe that's my bad. Well, no, I mean I
feel the same way. For me.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
It's more about back to back major injuries. When you
when you're playing pro football and you have two seasons
lost back to back to injury, I just write you off.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I do think this is set up too. If the
bland thing gets bad, they can get out of it.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
So okay, uh.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Coming up next, True Crime Turner, a wild story of
a cold case turned into a movie that's coming up next.
