Speaker 1 (00:00):
Gunning down to kickoff continues the Jaguars and the New
York Jets coming up getting late in the season, both
teams at three and ten. Chris Myers has the call
on Fox Sports, and it's great to see you again.
Here we are. You know, it's a tough time of
year because both teams are out of the mix, you know,
four games to go. Trying to find some kind of
(00:20):
motivation down the stretch here has got to be tough
for both of these teams.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, well, you know, I have I have analysts who
played the game, and you still have a job to do, right,
I mean, whether you're a coach or player, you're still
getting paid and you're still you have fans watching your
a TV audience. You have a responsibility just like we
do to call it and you can have a competitive,
exciting game, and this one I think will be I
don't want to stay there. You know, they're equally disappointing
(00:45):
teams for what I know we all expected coming into
the year. But I saw some flight for both of
them last week and just doing it a little early,
you know, scouting. Obviously, the Jets let one slip away
against the rival Dolphins, who they can't seem to be
done in Miami, and they do have Aaron Rodgers who
was moving a little bit better than I think he
had earlier in the in the year. And for the Jags,
(01:05):
you know, the defensive effort was outstanding to be able
to pull that off on the road against the team
in the division and against the team again they're trying
to find their way. But I do think Max, you know,
Max got to play better, right Max Jow's got to
you know, thrust into that position. He's had some time
in different places he gets to win, but didn't do
enough I think really from from his side of things.
(01:26):
So thankfully the defense was able to pull them out
the big run by by Bigsby. So what will we
get this week? Well, at the Jags defense, they have
to be on their game against a guy like Rogers
who always gets people that jump off side. He does
have his array of receivers when you think of you know,
Wilson and DeVonta Adams and Mazard is one of his favorites.
(01:46):
Who's who's back, So that makes him always always difficult.
And again, as I said, he's moving around a little
bit better, and all it takes is one big play
from from him and the offense. And if your offense,
meaning the Jags can't can't put up points, then you're trouble.
So that to be is a key this week. I
think the defense will be fine, improving and at home.
(02:07):
That's the plus. The offense has to have some drives,
but get touchdowns at the end of my field.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Goals, Chris. You know, there's a lot of big picture
talk around the Jaguars these days. It's year three for
head coach Doug Peterson, it's year four for Trevor Lawrence.
He had a loss season in his rookie year in
twenty one, he was injured a lot last year and
obviously he's done for the year now. Moving ahead, there's
there's all these question marks about how this will look
(02:34):
in the coming years, but you know, one constant will
be Trevor Lawrence at some point. At some point this
the injury bug has to be a concern when you've
already paid a guy two hundred and fifty million dollars
in a contract. You know, I know you're not a doctor.
Maybe you are, we haven't really talked that much, but
how concerning is that when your franchise guy just continues
(02:57):
to get injured year after year.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, and you could ask the doll it's about that
as well, right just now. And then you look at
guys like Baker Mayfield that are running and jumping and
falling and playing hurt. So sometimes it's just unfortunate. Uh.
And I don't think it's a lack of Having covered
some of the Jag games in the past, have been
around Trevor Wilson, his his commitment and what he does
to prepare physically. I have and this is what coaches
(03:19):
have told me in the past or those that who
played in the game, that the taller, more angular quarterbacks,
you know the frame that the big the taller you Again,
you have to be a certain size obviously to be
able to throw over people. But they they do seem
more susceptible to some injuries, whether it's you know, the
bigger wind up or when they slide or a bigger target.
I'm not sure about that, and no I'm not a doctor,
(03:41):
but it is a concern, especially when the organization, the
franchise has committed so much to Trevor Lawrence. But you
talk to him, Uh, you like the guy he prepares,
You believe in him. His teammates do and again early
and I've been playing well even before the injury, or
is he the offense wasn't in fairness to him, but
you lose Gabe Davis and Christian Kirk and they're going,
(04:02):
you know, he's starting receivers. So some other teams can
adapt a little bit easier. The Jags didn't. And and
I really, in the bigger picture of things, I expected,
having been around Doug Peterson covered some of those successful
years with the Eagles, I expected big things here and
I'm not sure why it hasn't worked. Obviously, the health
of the quarterback is one thing, but I'm just I
(04:25):
can't seem to figure that out, and that's up to
ownership and the front office and if there's needs to
be changes there when they review things and they know
better than I they've been watching on a daily basis,
then I think that's what around the league. I think
that's what's anticipated. And I hate to speak like that
for coach Peterson or Trent Balke, who you know have
their current jobs, but ultimately that's what's out there. And
(04:47):
I don't know what ownership is thinking, but ultimately we'll
we'll find out. But a strong finish and a team
fighting hard like we saw in Tennessee last week. In
this game, I think will go a long way.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Chris Meyers, Fox Sports with us just reflecting back to
the Philadelphia time with Doug Peterson. Why did it go
so bad so fast in Philly?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, I wasn't as closely involved when there were quarterback
issues with you know, you win a Super Bowl with
a backup, and then your star guy who was having
a great season, right and Carson Wentz gets hurt, and
then you try to work him back in and you
see that Carson Wentz it didn't pan out for him either,
and I think they were trying to force something there
and maybe he disagreed with the front office at least
(05:29):
that's some of the fallout that I remember back then.
But I do think and some players had some issues
with Douglas. Sometimes those things happened with coaches. But when
I was around and watching his interaction with his assistant
coaches and his teams, and when I went in and
saw him in the few games that I've done when
he's been in in Jacksonville, I haven't seen any kind
of disconnect. You know, I see the same kind of
(05:50):
guy who played the game, who really was And this
is why I thought it would work much better than
it has in Jacksonville. Connected to his quarterback, I thought
that was a real city play the position. He backed
up some good wins. He you know, he's had some
success in that area in the play design, play calling,
which is another sensitive topic there. That and I've asked
him about in the past. Not to knock the OC,
(06:13):
but that's something if things are on the line, I think,
you know, Doug would want him to make those calls,
and Liat maybe he would, but he's been loyal to
his staff, sometimes to a fault, I think in that regard.
But didn't notice anything that I could see that that
was a problem there. I think coaches at a certain
point after success, whether it was John Bruden down in
Tampa or what he did in Philadelphia, the ownership says, hey,
(06:35):
it's just not working with this group. We need to
make a change.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Chris Meyrons Fox Sports with us on the other side,
where did things go so wrong for the New York Jets.
I guess you could ask that every year. I mean,
they haven't been the playoffs in like fourteen years, but
this was the year I mean, they had Rogers coming
back healthy, they had all these weapons, and it's just
been a meltdown for Gang Green.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, what you point? You know, you can blame players
to a certain point, and there are some and I'm
not going to name him here from what I've observed,
but you see already what ownership has done there. And
I thought they fired Robert Sala too early. I don't
know if ultimately he was the right coacher or not,
but a defensive minded coach and their defense hasn't gotten
any better since he's been gone. And again Aaron Rodgers
(07:22):
and him is he is he running the offense? Who's
really calling the plays? Yes, you want to use his experience,
but that's that has been a mess and a healthier
Aaron Rodgers. We're seeing a little more of it now
and it still isn't It still isn't clicking. And I
think you hit on it. It's an organizational thing. And
that's why I already in the front office move along
with the coach, which I think did need to be
(07:42):
done because of the some of the moves that they've
made and the direction. But it looked like coming into
the year that they had the right kinds of players
to at least contend to at least have a better
record than this. I mean, this is a major, major falloff.
And now the questions we're hearing around the league, and
you know Aaron Rodgers himself, you know he'll he'll be
coy about it, but he's you know, what he wants
(08:02):
to do it. And whether there's a new coach, new
general manage that was still want Aaron Rodgers around him
and they are somewhat committed to him, or is it
time to move on from him. I think Rodgers will
play again next year, is just my opinion because I
don't think he's done yet at his terms, whatever that
may be. And I'm sure we'll hear about those over time.
But yeah, it's been a It's been a bad thing
(08:23):
for the Jets for a long time. I mean, this
this string of missing the playoffs, but this one, and
I'm tired of seeing him in prime time because they
really have been a mess. I mean, even their game
will ask they had it in the bag. It's simple things,
you know, you know, not going out of bounds late
when a catch is made, to run the clock down
so you can kick the field goals, so the Dolphins
(08:44):
don't have a chance to get the ball and tie
the game and then march right down the field and
overtime and win, especially when your defense couldn't couldn't stop
any but he through the course of the game, I
thought Rogers and the numbers show he played a very
good game without their their star running back. But I
don't see it had any better real soon for And
that's the thing that would concern me if I was
(09:04):
a Jet fan here, what kind of hope is there
really based on what you've seen this year and what
you've seen over the last decade or so.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
We'll have to watch a Pat McAfee show, I guess
to get the Aaron Rodgers cider things. It's usually how
that goes. Each week. You've got a new book out
that deserves a wow, great title. Why now for the
book for you? Chris Well.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I was asked a while ago, they said, you know
you've covered you had decade at ESPN, twenty plus years
at Fox, a lot of different things. You've worked in
a lot of different areas of broadcasting and radio roots
locally and TV into the networks. But some of the
events you've covered have been outstanding. Super Bowl World's in
some special you know, the Brady comeback of the Super
(09:47):
Bowl against Atlanta, Mahomes first Super Bowl with Andy Reid
with the Chiefs when they defeated the forty nine ers
to be the network reporter. But then there were other
moments that kind of went beyond the wow moments of
being at the A's Giants World Series, earthquake happens, being
at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta and a bomb goes
off the Daytona five hundred, Fox calling the NASCAR the
(10:10):
post race show, Dale Earnhard dies in the Great American Race,
the face of the sport at the time, and not
just being there, but being there with a broadcast ability
to go on the air alive and report on these
things right away to an audience. So somebody said, boy,
you get asked about these a lot. And then there's
some fun moments that I wrote about in the book,
but compiling them and putting them all together was a
(10:33):
challenge over the years because I wanted to make sure
there were things that people would be interested the events
and also the kinds of people. Some moments with Mike
Tyson and Muhammad Ali and Charles Parkley, some lighter moments.
Bill Murray wrote, wrote the forward who I've gotten over years,
have known him from the ESPIS in the early years,
and a stute sports fan, So I hope people are entertained.
(10:53):
It's a perfect if you're a sports fan. But it
does go beyond sports too. It's not all about me.
It's more like Rli's through sports, and they do mirror
a lot of our lives, ups and downs, overcoming things
and adversity. And yeah, so wow that was an old
Sports center expression instead of just saying wow, wht I
catch it? That deserves it while And so that's kind
(11:14):
of where that the title of the book came from.
And I think we use the word more often than
we realize, and hopefully everybody has a lot of wow
moments in their life.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Is there a chapter on the dog Show version? Would
you ever imagined hosting the dog show? And you got
into this business?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
By the way, there's the I could see the cover
or not, but anyway, no, the dog Show was you know,
bested show was really my first introduction, which the movie
is is there is some reality connected to the actual
Westminster Cattle Club Bested Show, but I never showed dogs
or was a judge or anything like that, but always
(11:53):
had it in my family. My family does a lot
with animal rescue for dogs, and so when the opportunity
came up, I was like, hey, to call them play
by play. I'll have a little fun with it. And
they say, well, you know the foxway. You can have fun,
but as long as you don't cross that line. And
so it's like having an ex player as an analyst.
I have a judge, someone who's judged or are shown
dogs themselves. And yes, the longest running you know, a
(12:14):
competition sporting event if you want to call it that
with dogs in the US other than the Kentucky Derby,
and this year it happens right after the Super Bowl
on Monday and Tuesday night at Madison Square guard So
I always have fun with that and the dogs of
the show, that's the easy part. If we just put
a camera on the dogs and let them go through
and parade around, we don't really have to say that much.
(12:35):
They're entertaining themselves and striking to watch on television. But yeah,
that's something that Bill Murray teases me about in the book,
but I didn't have time to put a lot of
that in about Bested Show.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I got to tell you, that's a hell of a week.
Super Bowl, dog Show, speed weeks, stay toning.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You're right that we're yeah, we got we got the
clash which is at Bowman Gray the Stadium in Carolina.
Hopefully the there's good. That's the week before the super
Bowl and then the day tell you yeah, so that is.
There's there's a lot going on on Fox and FS
one who will be in the super Bowl will be
will be interesting to watch, and that's that'll get fans
a lot to talk about. And there's some good playoff
(13:15):
races going on right now.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Chris Myers, one of the best in the business, NFL, NASCAR,
Major League Baseball, boxing, Westminster Kennel Club, Dog Show, all
the above. Thanks for the time, man.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Great to see the Jags of the Jets forget all right,
let's kick it off, make some noise out there and
do ball, all right. Thanks for chatting, all right, enjoy
the game. We'll talk to it soon.
Gunning down to kickoff continues the Jaguars and the New
York Jets coming up getting late in the season, both
teams at three and ten. Chris Myers has the call
on Fox Sports, and it's great to see you again.
Here we are. You know, it's a tough time of

four games to go. Trying to find some kind of

Yeah, well, you know, I have I have analysts who
played the game, and you still have a job to do, right,

getting paid and you're still you have fans watching your
a TV audience. You have a responsibility just like we
do to call it and you can have a competitive,
exciting game, and this one I think will be I
don't want to stay there. You know, they're equally disappointing

at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta and a bomb goes
off the Daytona five hundred, Fox calling the NASCAR the
(10:10):
post race show, Dale Earnhard dies in the Great American Race,
the face of the sport at the time, and not
just being there, but being there with a broadcast ability
to go on the air alive and report on these
things right away to an audience. So somebody said, boy,
you get asked about these a lot. And then there's
some fun moments that I wrote about in the book,
but compiling them and putting them all together was a
(10:33):
challenge over the years because I wanted to make sure
there were things that people would be interested the events
and also the kinds of people. Some moments with Mike
Tyson and Muhammad Ali and Charles Parkley, some lighter moments.
Bill Murray wrote, wrote the forward who I've gotten over years,
have known him from the ESPIS in the early years,
and a stute sports fan, So I hope people are entertained.
(10:53):
It's a perfect if you're a sports fan. But it
does go beyond sports too. It's not all about me.
It's more like Rli's through sports, and they do mirror
a lot of our lives, ups and downs, overcoming things
and adversity. And yeah, so wow that was an old
Sports center expression instead of just saying wow, wht I
catch it? That deserves it while And so that's kind
(11:14):
of where that the title of the book came from.
And I think we use the word more often than
we realize, and hopefully everybody has a lot of wow
moments in their life.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Is there a chapter on the dog Show version? Would
you ever imagined hosting the dog show? And you got
into this business?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
By the way, there's the I could see the cover
or not, but anyway, no, the dog Show was you know,
bested show was really my first introduction, which the movie
is is there is some reality connected to the actual
Westminster Cattle Club Bested Show, but I never showed dogs
or was a judge or anything like that, but always
(11:53):
had it in my family. My family does a lot
with animal rescue for dogs, and so when the opportunity
came up, I was like, hey, to call them play
by play. I'll have a little fun with it. And
they say, well, you know the foxway. You can have fun,
but as long as you don't cross that line. And
so it's like having an ex player as an analyst.
I have a judge, someone who's judged or are shown
dogs themselves. And yes, the longest running you know, a
(12:14):
competition sporting event if you want to call it that
with dogs in the US other than the Kentucky Derby,
and this year it happens right after the Super Bowl
on Monday and Tuesday night at Madison Square guard So
I always have fun with that and the dogs of
the show, that's the easy part. If we just put
a camera on the dogs and let them go through
and parade around, we don't really have to say that much.
(12:35):
They're entertaining themselves and striking to watch on television. But yeah,
that's something that Bill Murray teases me about in the book,
but I didn't have time to put a lot of
that in about Bested Show.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I got to tell you, that's a hell of a week.
Super Bowl, dog Show, speed weeks, stay toning.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You're right that we're yeah, we got we got the
clash which is at Bowman Gray the Stadium in Carolina.
Hopefully the there's good. That's the week before the super
Bowl and then the day tell you yeah, so that is.
There's there's a lot going on on Fox and FS
one who will be in the super Bowl will be
will be interesting to watch, and that's that'll get fans
a lot to talk about. And there's some good playoff
(13:15):
races going on right now.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Chris Myers, one of the best in the business, NFL, NASCAR,
Major League Baseball, boxing, Westminster Kennel Club, Dog Show, all
the above. Thanks for the time, man.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Great to see the Jags of the Jets forget all right,
let's kick it off, make some noise out there and
do ball, all right. Thanks for chatting, all right, enjoy
the game. We'll talk to it soon.
