All right, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
He's a Texas legend, a Hall of Fame broadcasting, the
voice of the Texas longhold, and your host of the
Craigway Show.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Here he is now Craig Way.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Hour number two of the program. Here on this Thursday
afternoon on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred zone. I'm Craig Way,
joined by the producer Cameron Parker. Glad to have you
with us on this Thursday afternoon. All right, So Thursday
afternoon becomes Thursday evening in a little while, and we'll
talk a little bit about the college football landscape for
(01:03):
a Thursday night, especially just down the road from US
thirty miles down the road from US in San Markets.
We'll get to that a little bit later. But I
want to talk NFL here because there is an NFL
game Thursday night. I can't remember if I very asked,
do you have Amazon Prime? I know you're busy night anyway,
So Bill's Dolphins pretty good Week two match up for
(01:27):
you know, for a Thursday night Amazon Prime thing. So
that so that's good.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Is it still al Michaels?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
It is okay, good, It's still al Michaels and Kirk
herb Street and Kaylee Hartungu.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And Kirkirk Streets dog Ben Ben.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I think Ben is and Ben's always with him on
the ESPN circuit. But you know what, he has taken
Ben with him before. I remember when he had a
Thursday game and then he got on a plane and
he went wherever he had to be for game day
on Friday. I remember last year they did that. Anyway,
So I would say Herbstreet did, by the way, tweet
out a photo of Ben just sitting and looking at
(02:04):
the camera and Kirk said, how am I supposed to
get any any work done with this guy?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
So people don't like Ben?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Yeah, that's just I don't weird like hate with people.
And Kirk bringing Herbie bringing his dog, who cares.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I think there's a combination of a lot of or
of a few factors in work there. I'm glad you
brought this up. There are some people who don't like dogs.
There are some people who just don't like them. Our
good friend Bill Shooning the voiceless. First, he's not a
dog hater. He's not a dog dislike her, but he
(02:45):
has never owned a dog, so he just it's never
been in been in their deal. That that he had
a dog. So, uh, he's an example someone who has
lived a life without dogs. And and that was my
That was my point there. Not that he dislikes dogs.
He doesn't. He doesn't.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
He just doesn't understand.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I know, maybe maybe he's not into the dog mindset.
I'm not I'm not sure, and I'm not gonna and
I'm not gonna speak for him. I just know he
never he never had dogs.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
I know some other people that just haven't had dogs
in their life. I know, I know of some people
who don't like dogs.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
They just they just.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Think they're they're too high maintenance, they're too much of
a problem. They're not. But I also know people who
are cat haters. You don't like cats.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I think more people hate cats than they hate.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Dogs, probably, And I like cats, it's just I'm allergic
to them. I mean, I was around cats when I
was a kid, and I had suffered with allergies and
I had I had a cat when I was in college,
living in the house with other guys. I had a
cat showed up as a kit and as a stray,
and I took care of I had that cat for
thirteen years.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Wilmington or here into.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
No, it was when I was in Denton, and then
when I was at North Texas and and uh yeah,
and then the cat moved with me when I went.
It was funny when when I moved out of my
house in Denton that I was renting and I started
living in an apartment and then got married. The cat
(04:15):
kind of got moved around one day to an uncle
ann and then to my parents, who were living in
Cedar Hill at the time. And my dad told me,
he said, when the day comes that you buy a house,
when you get your first house, I'm bringing this cat
to your house. And I said, okay, fine, So like
four years past now it's nineteen eighty eight. The cat
is six years old, I think, or five years old
(04:37):
something like that. I buy my first house in Irvy
and we're all excited about it.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
We move in.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Two days later. After I move in, knock on the door,
it's my dad, here's your cat. And I had the
cat for eight more years. That cat lived to be
thirteen and then finally passed away. But I was always allergic.
I couldn't get too close to it. I liked having
the cat and the pet, but so I've been around cats.
Now I haven't had a cat a long time. And Linda,
(05:09):
before our time together, had a cafism, but she was
mainly a dog person, and I'm a dog person. I've
always been a dog person. But there's some people that
just aren't really that much in the dogs. They just aren't.
Some like them but don't want to have them as pets.
Totally understand that some people don't have them as pets
and don't like them for whatever reason. But Kirk herb
(05:34):
Street has this dog. If people haven't seen it, it's
the Golden Retriever Ben, and the dog travels with him
to his work assignments, his games, both for Amazon Prime
when he does the thursdaynight NFL game with Al Michaels
and when he does ESPN College Game Day and where
(05:55):
he does college football college game Now in those I
don't know how rare it is, but but not regular
put it that way. Circumstances where ESPN College Game Day
is at a place where he will not be calling
the game there at that place that evening. And last
(06:17):
week was a perfect example. College Game Day was in
ann Arbor, but that was a Fox telecast, so Herb
Street level I forgot did they do the Tennessee NC
State game. Was that the That was the ABC game,
I think, and and I'm pretty sure that was the game.
But in any event, he didn't have the vent, but
(06:38):
he took the dog with him. In fact, Michigan gave
the dog a credential ben and then he takes the
dog with him on the private plane that ESPN gets him.
For whatever reason, this bothers some people. I'm I'm a
real big, live and let live guy. The dog does
(06:58):
not interfere with my interest or enjoyment or whatever of
watching ESPN College game Day direct TV has of late,
but still going on to oh yeah, oh yeah, m
past still going. Clock's ticking on my patience. I'm just
telling you, if I weren't busy in calling games on
(07:20):
my own and doing stuff, I'd probably have my patients
would be wearing a lot more thin than it is
at the moment. But I've never had a problem when
they're taking his dog. I don't care if the dog
shows up on the set of game Day, as long
as it's not, you know, interfering stuff, and that it's
a good natured dog. He didn't do the easy you know,
he's friendly to everybody and all this kind of stuff.
(07:41):
But there are people, for whatever reason, and the reason
we know this you have only to follow on social
media who say you shouldn't bring your dog, that the
dog is mistreated, and people are like uh, and then
and then there's the point counterpart that people want to
know the dog is with his owner, the dog is
happy when he's with it. Like, for example, my dog
(08:03):
is eleven years old. She's great, but she's getting a
little bit having a little bit of anxiety issues. And
what's gonna happen this weekend is, you know, I have
my duties and I go up to Dallas tomorrow and
then back for the game on Saturday. Linda is going
up to have lunch with her grandson at his elementary
(08:26):
school tomorrow, so she's going up to Plano and staying
up there with her or her daughter and son in law.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
So that's going on.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And so we have a dog sitter who's really really good,
and my dog likes the dog sitter, but there's that
separation anxiety thing in advance. You can just see that
look in her eyes like you guys are dumping me again,
that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
So I get it.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Dogs are happiest when they're with their owners, and the
same thing with karkharb Street's dog.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
But for whatever.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Reason, some folks have a problem with that. They're you know,
they you shouldn't be bringing your dog. It's unprofessional. It's
this and that. And I said, come on, the dog's
not hurting anybody or anything, and everybody around seems to
like it. My son Jason was operating the parabolic mike
and Ann Arbor last year. He saw Ben. He saw
the dog out there in the field. He said, everybody
(09:20):
was petting it. It was very, very popular. So, you know,
for whatever reason, people kind of have a problem with
with the dog. Some do. Now there are a lot more.
There's this overwhelming tide of support that comes back at
the people are saying, would you just get a life
and lay off? And the dog is quite happy. It
(09:42):
is not mistreated. It gets to run and play and
all that kind of stuff, so just chill out. So
there's a lot of that going on. So anyway, there
there's that. But they will be at the NFL game tonight.
Ben will be as well. I'm imagining between Buffalo and Miami,
(10:05):
who you like in this game?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Man, it's tough.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
I think Buffalo it looked really good in that second half,
but again playing a Cardinals defense which is very very
suspect might go in the worst in the league in Miami.
You know, I don't think Miami looked great and that
win either, But it's Week one, so you know, you're
not gonna take a lot away from it. I think
Buffalo just because Josh Allen against the Miami defense.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But we'll see what's the spread. Actually, I probably should have.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Miami by two and a half.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh man, how about that? Hmm? I think I like
Buffalo there.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Okay, Thursday Night Football, Week two, stay away
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Okay, all right, coming up, we're gonna hear more from
