Speaker 1 (00:01):
Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio. Oh, let's go, stinking genius,
go big boy, let's go. Let's go. All right, I've
got I've got a present for you right off the
let's go. I want to know which of these moments
was bigger for you as we come to you alive
tonight from the tire rack dot Com Studios. Tire rack

were Arnie's favorite? Was it this fires the pass towards
the back of the ends own in complaint ct someone. Now,
(00:46):
you were in bed, so you didn't see the end
of it, but I was. I was watching your Arizona Wildcats.
Was was it that moment, Arnie? Or was it any
of those moments? Today? Whenever the Dolphins kicked the ever
living tar out of the Cleveland Browster fine touchdown, Open
it up, Baby, open it up, a tourney four yard
(01:10):
touchtop run, drying rock moster. I don't know what was
going on in that call, but they were happy already.
Look at you and look at your teams. Why don't
you just ask me who do I love more? My
son or my wife? I mean, come on now, really,
I can't answer something like that, Chris, what's wrong with you?
Why not? They're both equally awesome. I feel like somehow,
I don't know if you've gone to a witch doctor
(01:32):
or I don't know if you've gone to see who's
who was the peewee herman whenever he went to the
light she read his fortune? Right, Um, you put some
sort of spell. We're now all of your teams are amazing,
at least for one week with Arizona, and suddenly all
my teams stink. So kudos to you. Well, it's like
a bizarro world that where my teams are good and
(01:54):
all your teams stink terrible, every all, even the Lakers, everybody.
You just route for a bunch of losers, And we
were if we were going to fire people that route
for losers. Your your first on the list. Probably so yeah,
But first of all, you would not have been hired
in the first place, so you would have been on
the outside looking in. Job I was. I stayed up.
(02:16):
I stayed up for the whole thing. Last night. I
was it was late, late, late into the night. It
was a wet and miserable day for me in Morgantown.
But when I got back, I was like, you know what,
I'll be ready to break down week eleven of the
college football season if and he wants to. We could
talk about the seven to maybe eight teams. I still
see a live for the playoffs. But if I ever
(02:37):
tried to bring up college football, I better make sure
I know my uh p's and queues from this Arizona game.
So I was with you man, congratulations, that was big time.
And then to continue this in you are are you?
Are you okay? I was gonna say we're definitely we're sweeping,
(02:58):
we're sweeping the last three, or that we have two
games left were we're beating Washington State that won't be
a problem, and that Arizona State does does. I think
that's already of wins. Washington State is six and four
this year. We're a four point dog, big deal, four
point and dog. Good luck. Hey, my team's got to
get bowl eligible too. So you're not alone. I mean
(03:18):
I I am in the midst and and Bo Benson
can feel that pain would that be. Who wouldn't we
just lost a freaking West Virginia that brought in a
quarterback that couldn't throw Arnie. Yeah, I would feel pretty
confident saying that right now. Not a good time, But um,
(03:39):
I feel pretty good about your boys getting bowl eligible.
And you know what, I actually still feel pretty good
about the Pack twelve being in this college football playoff
conversation with the US East. But hey, hey, let's table
that college football talk for later. We we We've got
three hours of you trying to tell us how right
you were about the Dolphins going to the Super Bowl
after the boy was I right? Like from day on
(04:00):
everything I said? I said, I said they were gonna
win the a f C East, and obviously they're leading
the a f C East. I said that they were
the best team in the a f C, and it's
obviously them in Kansas City. I said they were going
to go to the Super Bowl. I I think they've
pretty much clinched that. So who I've been, I've been right, Boom,
baby boom. For the first time in a decade, I've
(04:21):
been right. Have you ever thought of just like, I
feel like we have this conversation, but I feel like
we did this show last week to say, are you
can attest? Can you just like get to the playoffs?
When the division we're going to just can it be
one step at time? What will you start trying to
tear down the goal post and hoist the Lombardi Trophy
one step at a time? One of the odds that
(04:41):
we go to the playoffs like nineties seven percent or
something like that. Yeah, I'm sure whatever, No, I'm serious.
I mean, it's it's got to be something pretty pretty
high up there. I don't look again, you're talking about
something that's in the line of win probabilities. Hey, guess what,
there's a really high percentage that is seven and three
team with seven games to go in the season is
going to make the playoffs. You need some sort of
(05:02):
percentage to make you feel more confident about that. Yeah.
So at that end, and well and also Chris, I
didn't I didn't bring this up on Twitter. I probably
even bring it up on the air. My wife's matt
at me because I was rooting against her Buffalo Bills,
especially when they fumbled on the half yard line. And
I'm just giving what a bunch of losers losers, oh
(05:23):
Man you should the seed. She had to leave the house.
She was so upset. I wish that you really did that,
just to watch I did kick your ass you trying
to do things like that. There is listen. If there's
no video, there's no proof that you, who have outkicked
your coverage somehow for the last thirty years, would be
in your wife's face saying ha ha take that. No
(05:45):
way on it was just reaction. I'm telling you, She's like,
what happened? I go your losers? You're fumbled on the
half yard? Who fumbles? Do you know what the wind
probability on that was? Centers who here? Yes, already the
wind probability would be very high whenever you're trying to
down the football with a lead of what five at
that point in the game. Yes, the win probability would
(06:05):
be high. All right, So I have a question here
here off the top the whole show tonight. I'm just
warning you, so uh, if you don't want to hear,
you probably need to check out now. I'm giving that
advance because Arnie's gonna go ahead with the Dolphins in
the Super Bowl, literally like every single segment, So I'm
giving you everybody's jumping on that bandwagon now, by the
way I want. It's kind of making me sick. All
the all the radio and TV people are jumping into
(06:27):
the Dolphin bandwagon. Oh yeah, I'd be all over it.
After beating Cleveland, I think it's time to go ahead
and tear down the goal post in Miami while we're
at Sexan's next after the you look out, Arnie. Are
the Bills a poorly coached team? I mean there there
are some things that happen in watching them that just
it makes no sense to me. I love Sean McDermott.
(06:49):
I think he's outstanding, but some of the decisions, I mean,
kick a field goal, take some points. It doesn't always
have to be a Josh Alan herculean effort. It doesn't
always have to be we're in the red zone, we're
gonna get six, and then you know we've already seen
how unstable their offensive coordinator Kin Dorsey is. Why does
it always have to be dialing something up that that
(07:10):
has Allan tried well? And maybe part of this is
Josh Allen too. He's gotta throw in a double coverage,
he's gotta fit the needles, I mean literally, I mean
last week I came on here or whenever Buffalo was
on Sunday night, maybe it was a couple of weeks ago,
and I thought, man, how fun it must be to
be a Bills fan to see just this, this consistent,
hard fought, well played game, and then these last two weeks.
(07:34):
I get it, he's not a hundred percent, Josh Allen's
not a hundred percent, But damn aren't they that's too real,
unexcusable and inexcusable losses these last weeks. Well you know
what that Yes, they are a poorly coached team. It
seems that way sometimes. I'll tell you why. First of all,
Josh Allen's had two interceptions for the last three games, so, um,
you know, who are you gonna blame on that? Eventually
(07:54):
you have to take the blame for yourself, and that's
that last one was just ridiculous. What was he thinking about?
So you know, all you need is a field goal
and you're gonna go in, at least get a tire
or continue to play. So I I don't know what
he was was thinking at that point. That was absolutely
miserable out there. Plus you know that stat where they
lose a lot of close games are within a touchdown.
But the games that they're leading by like three touchdowns
(08:16):
are you know, games are supposed to blow people out.
They blow people out, but if it's a close game,
they end up coming out on the short end. It
just just seems something's wrong about them. And by the way,
you know, they're a third place team right now. I
know that's kind of semantics because they get the just
get the tiebreaker there, but who would have thought they'd
be a third place team nine games in? Well, we'll
see what happens. We'll see if Josh Allen they let
(08:37):
that one slip away with the lead they had, Um,
there's no way they should have lost that game. And
especially when you you have the ball to one yard
line and yeah, you fumble the snap like that. The
Bills fans, I mean, they've got to be still in
shock right now over what happened. Yeah, it was. That's
one of the wildest sequences I think I've ever followed.
And when we come back, I want to go through
(08:59):
the play by play of it, right, I want you
to hear the great Paul Allen on the VICA. I
know how you hate radio play by play clips, but
go along with me. Arnie. So you can hear the
great Paul Allen of the Minnesota Vikings Radio Network and
the Bills Radio Network trying to make sense of what
just happened. So we'll get to that coming up in
just a bit. But as we sit here, we do
have a game going on live, uh, the Chargers, who
(09:22):
still find themselves right in the midst of that playoff
battle for the seven seed in the a f C,
which includes five and three teams like the Chargers, a
couple five and four teams, the Patriots and the Bengals.
And I'm looking at that game, but I figure I
got a root against the Charges, just just to make
extra sure my Dolphins, Like I warned you people, that's
(09:43):
all he's got tonight. But it's nineteen sixteen San Francisco.
The Chargers have the football back, um, but an incredible
job from a special team's perspective to pin them deep.
So what they did? They start on the one, So
they gotta go, y'all guards in order to try to
win this football game. And I'm not real sure that
(10:04):
the sager might know better what the what the kickers
range is. Yeah, this is Dicker the kicker. They remember
their third kicker they've used in the last month. He
had three field goals in the second quarter, the longest
of which was forty seven, which barely made it inside
the upright. But on that punt that was just down
at the one by San Francisco and Terry McAuley, the
(10:24):
ref and the booth said this, it should have been
a touchback because the Niner special teams player was still
backing up and in fact his teammates, in congratulating him,
moved him into the end zone. It was prematurely whistled
dead and the Chargers have had to start to drive
at the one. There were just under two minutes to go,
(10:45):
needing a field goal to tie, but having to go
over half the field. Now, it's been weird because I
felt like the afternoon games well Packers and Cowboys was fantastic,
but and then even kind of leading into this matchup.
I mean, unless you're a Niners fan or or a
Chargers fan, you're probably not too juiced about Chargers. All
(11:06):
beat up Niners. Obviously they've been an injury disaster, but
it's been the exact opposite of the kind of game
I thought we'd get, Artie. I thought we'd have some
some big time highlight plays from from Herbert, and he's
had a few nights throws. I figured the Niners would
be running the ball well, but spen a defensive struggle.
It's been like a lot of the NFL games we've
(11:26):
seen today. No one's really able to get anything going offensively.
And I mean, we'll see if Herbert can work his magic.
But it's tough when you're in your own, your own
end zone and trying to make plays to go win
a game. And we'll see if you can pull this out.
How many times do you see where a team should
have really buried another team in the first half, an
hang around like get to touchdown, have to settle for
(11:47):
a couple of field goals. Next thing you know, the
other team hangs around and they end up taking the lead.
I think that's what you saw in San Francisco today.
You know, I think you're absolutely right. I mean, you
go back. I was just trying to pull up so
I can if felt like early on, uh in this game,
the Chargers had a chance to just blow it wide open.
Right midway through the second quarter, they're kind of rolling
(12:08):
and Niners hang around. Jimmy Garoppolo Jimmy Garoppolo is like
old man golf. There's nothing really fantastic that he does,
but it always seems like he's hitting it straight down
the fairway and when you get to the green, he's like, oh,
you gotta bogey? Are you gotta birdie? You're okay? Yeah,
Jimmy g is just consistent, even though he's been a
little bit inconsistent here tonight, nineteen forty yards in in
(12:30):
the Chargers did they pick that up? They go up
for it on fourth down. They went for it on
fourth down and threw incomplete. So from their own eight
good San Francisco takes over eight yards away from the
clinch and they really had no I mean, they weren't
going to get the ball back a minute seventeen to
go Niners with a first and goal up nineteen sixteen.
And don't forget the ejection of San Francisco linebacker Trey
(12:53):
green Law that was also controversial tonight just before halftime
helmet to helmet hit on a running quarterback. But it
was ruled not by the officials on the field, but
by the New York Office that green Law should be
kicked out of the game because it was forcible and
extreme contact. That was surprising as well. Did you think
(13:14):
that the Juju Smith Schuster hit one was that you
think they should have kept that flag on. I thought
it was a decent football play. I didn't think it
was helmet helmet, But if you miss it in the
Chiefs Jaguars game, Juju got rocked. I didn't they originally,
I mean the flag came out right away, but then
they picked it up. I didn't think that was too bad.
(13:34):
I kind of thought the green Law one was much
worse than that. The comment from his Kansas City teammate is,
I'm not sure they're actually protecting us picking up the flag,
but it is a concussion for Smith Houston and then
the other. The other big officiating story from today too
was officials not being able to figure out whether a
ball was caught or not. You had it in the
(13:55):
Bills game a couple of times, right. That also involves
the New York office late late in regulation where they
didn't say, hey, hey stop, this might at the sidelines.
They gave Buffalo the reception. And I was watching that
disaster that was known as Raiders Football, and literally both
the Jeff Saturday and Josh McDaniels had to waste an
(14:16):
early challenge on a ball that dude dropped and the
officials come running a catch, you know, and looks at
the other guy and that other officials like, yeah, catch.
I mean, I don't know if they're they're lazy now
and they're counting on replay, but I mean, especially and
that Bill's game already, that's a game changer. Absolutely. That
(14:36):
was By the way, did you get a little teary
eyed when Derek Carr said got all choked up and
I was kind of saying his goodbye speech? Well, really
what he was doing is that was at his goodbye speech.
Well that's why he was crying, wasn't he Where's he going? Well,
he knows this is his last year, though, this is it?
Do you not understand how contracts work? Look? Did you
(14:58):
know that doesn't stop you from getting stopped? How contracts work?
Come on, stun Why do you think he was getting
all choked up? You know that? What you know? You're
always the last to know, aren't you, Chris? Come on
now stopping? Yeah, you're always the first, So why don't
you fill me in? No, I'm glad he was upset
because his team sucks, and you spent too much money
for a team to suck. And when you really care
(15:19):
about something and you love it and it sucks, you
just gotta let everyone know how piste off you are.
So Daniel is gonna get through the year. Oh not,
He's terrible. I don't know if I've ever seen anyone
less prepared to do their job then Josh McDaniel as
a head coach. I mean, how you got beat by
(15:40):
Jeff freaking Saturday today. I mean, if I was Mark Davis,
and I'm not even trying to be too dramatic, I
would have fired him after the game. I would have
walked in there. I would have fired him. Patrick Graham
is supposed to be some defensive guru. He's terrible, So
I get rid of both of them. Hell, I would
hire the ball boy. I mean, if Jeff Saturday, who
sits there on ear Pianoto pines about football, can beat you, Okay,
(16:03):
bring it. Bringing Lincoln Kennedy out of the booth for
goodness six, I vote for that. Lincoln Say had like
an hour to put a game plan together, like a
yard in the first the game plan is, hey, we
have Jonathan Taylor, let's use him he's healthy, and then
start Matt Right. By the way, the update Charger defense
has used all three of its time outs, but they
(16:25):
have held San Francisco, which had a first and goal,
held him out of the end zone. So what we're
gonna have with about a minute left is the San
Francisco I assume field goal attempt here on fourth and goal.
If so, the Chargers get it back down six, or
the Niners could just keep the offense on the field
and they are Jimmy Garoppolo is still on the field.
Nineteen sixteen, San Francisco, fourth and goal from the two. Well,
(16:48):
I don't know if this is what the analytics say.
I'm sorry, you can't leave it at three points where
they only have to get a field goal instead of
a touchdown. There's there's no way then that they're gonna
hike this ball. Can't be But I guess are they
doing it? Film me in Arnie, you're a little bit
ahead of me now because you are in the future
out there in the Eastern times, alright. I was just
(17:10):
thinking to myself, and unless they want to get it
even so, what they get the penalty if they draw
them off sides, they get a little bit closer than
they're gonna go for it. You got you gotta kick
the field goal to go up six. Don't be ridiculous.
You know what's gonna happen, don't you. Bert's gonna drive
him right down the field and went on a touchdown
with the exception that his two receivers are out again tonight.
But yes, I see that's happening. I don't put Khalil
(17:32):
Mack and wide receiver. It'll work out all right. So
nineteen sixteen, closing moments, Sunday Night Football, San Francisco, with
the lead, about to try to kick a field goal
so the Chargers will get the football back. We'll have
about a minute to go, maybe less than that in
the game. We'll see if they can pull it off.
And what's ended up being exciting fourth quarter here in
Sunday Night Football. Field goal is good sixteen. We'll keep
(17:55):
you up today in the final minute next but when
we come back, the two big games from today, obviously
what we saw in the wild finish between the Vikings
and the Bills, and did the Packers save their season,
We'll give it to the next year. On Fox Sports Radio.

It's me three time pro bowler Lavarrington and I couldn't
be more excited to announce a podcast called Up on Game?
What is Up on Game? You asked, along with my
fellow pro bowler t J. Hudshman's OTTA and Super Bowl Champion.
That's right, Plexico Birds. You can only name a show
(18:40):
with that type of talent on it. Up on Game.
We're going to be sharing our real life experiences loaded
with teachable moments. Listen to Up on Game with Me
LaVar Arrington, t J. Huschman's OTTA, and Plexico Birds on
the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you
get your pod as from. We're coming to you from
(19:03):
the Tire Act dot Com studios. And the Nighters get
it done. San Francisco kicks the field goal and I
have no idea what that passed was from Justin Herbert,
Aren't I have no idea? I mean, is the final score?
So by the time the Chargers got the football back,
(19:25):
seventy seven yards fifty three seconds left, no time outs.
Literally the first snap, I I thought that the ball
hits something. Did a bird hit that ball or something?
Because literally I'm in shock. I'm shook by that terrible
interception by Justin Herbert. Now again, aren't he It was
a tall task. I mean, you don't have any time out. Well, listen,
(19:47):
I've seen Justin Herbert do stupid stuff, so I'm not
gonna say they weren't. He has the potential when his
receivers are healthy, to be as dangerous in the two
minute drill as anyone. But that pass makes no sense
to me. Nighters are five and four and still in
the mix right now, not just for the playoffs, but
in the NFC West Don't look now, but the San
Francisco forty Niners are tied essentially atop the NFC West
(20:12):
half game back of the Seattle Don't Look down. San
Francisco is actually in the playoffs. Chris as A as
a last seat out there. They go ahead and coming
right behind the Cowboys. I think they're like number seven,
So they get into the playoffs right now in Washington,
UM one game behind them. And by the way, speaking
of our new don't look an now, segment. The Tampa
Bay Buccaneers are in first place at five and five
(20:36):
after winning today the Seattlehawks. Yeah, you've got a couple
of pretty sweet division leaders right now. But I'm not
gonna hate too much on the Titans. They won today.
They're six and three. But um, look at that. Look
at that NFC South five and five Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
All right, I want to play a game before we
get into Sagar's update. I want you to guess which
(20:58):
radio network is his. All right, I'm taking you back
to the Bills Vikings game. Josh Allen is under center.
He's basically taking a snap and get a fall forward
to kneel on the football. All right, here's here's one
call at the at the time, what it's a twenty
uh score the games or something like that. So here
(21:21):
we go. Here's here's just Josh Allen. You guess which
network I'll play two. Here's the first. Allen under center
snap and Josh trying to dive forward. Let's see it's
close down there, he's close to the goal line. The
Vikings celebrating. They think they've stopped him in the end zone.
Let's see umbled a touchdown? A oh, my goodness, at
(21:45):
the bottom of the pile, a big scramble for the football.
How did that happen? All right? Touchdown Minnesota. So that
that's one call. Pretty shocked, right, pretty shocked. Let me
go ahead and let me let me go ahead and
clean up my mess here quick. Whenever he fumbled it,
it was twenty three was to score. Buffalo was up
twenty seven three because they had missed the extra point
(22:08):
forgot about that, all right, So there's one network. Are
you ready, here's another network. Let's see if you can
guess which one is Buffalo and which one is Minnesota.
And Davis was behind Alan and he tried to push him.
He didn't get out of there. He didn't get out.
He did dusk get out. That's a safety. Give it
to us, yes, even yes, drop full josh Vas All right,
(22:34):
I know it's a tough one. They can't figure it out.
The Vikings are gonna win, except for the fact that
game out doubt if we're going to get over time.
What a crazy finish. Kendrick's gets the fumble recovery in
the end zone. You think it's over then, and then
(22:55):
the next thing you know, in thirty nine seconds, the
Bills go five play sixty nine yards, Bass kicks that
field goal to force over time and then in O
t what a day for a vet Alan back to
pass in the pocket to the end zone. Yes, Patrick Peterson, Hi,
he flides down? What kings far right? And one A
(23:22):
we're still having fun? Rating one, don't relax yourself. Come on,
well they're ating one it's the Vikings. For goodness sakes,
let's go in case you couldn't tell the fumble recovery.
This Artie hates played by play cuts. By the way,
the second one was the Vikings radio. I don't know
did you get that from that? It was very tough,
and not until you told me did I finally figure
(23:44):
it out. So I'm glad you've figured to told me
on that one. Ooh man, what a wild game? So
what does it mean? We'll go in depth on whether
or not the Vikings have a chance when we come back.
Plus Aaron Rodgers had some Aaron Rodgers Eske moments. But first,
Steve to Seger is in the house to get us
caught up on everything in the world of sports. What's up? Steve?
San Francisco comes back to win the Sunday Night NFL
(24:04):
game against the Chargers twenty two to sixteen. So a
Kyle Shanahan team, instead of blowing the double digit lead,
they actually come back from one to win the game
because San Francisco was down thirteen three in the second quarter,
down sixteen ten at the half, and then the Chargers
did not score a point in the second half. Fact,
a p said that Shanahan with the forty Niners in
(24:27):
the regular season when down double digits record of four
and thirty three until tonight, they actually came back to
win this one against whatever is left of the Chargers,
including tonight's injuries. I mean, I'm not saying they would
have won the game anyway, but my goodness, the Chargers
that looked great on the opening drive went straight down
the field seventy five yard TV drive and under three
(24:49):
and a half minutes and did not score a touchdown
for the rest of the night after that. In fact,
after that first drive, Chargers offense had ten drives nine
first owns the rest of the evening. Were people say,
all four teams from the West into the sad we
haven't done that since the preseason. Shut up with it. Yeah,
(25:10):
I mean literally, you're trying to carry over something we
fought about. Speaking of the division shows, tonight, Denver's Russell
Wilson was sacked six times. He was never gonna win
a division with that. Titans were trailing ten nothing just
before halftime beat Denverse seventeen to ten. In Tennessee, the
Broncos three and six, the Chargers are five and four.
(25:32):
The first place Chiefs are seven and two. They beat
Jacksonville twenty seven seventeen. It's Chiefs at Chargers next Sunday night,
and then there's the Raiders at two and seven, losing
it home to the Colts twenty five to twenty. Jonathan
Taylor a hundred forty seven yards rushing, including a sixty
six yard TD. You had the overtime games, the classic
with Minnesota coming back to win at Buffalo. Thank you
(25:54):
for the play by play cuts by the way thirty
three thirty over times I do for It's exciting. Vikings
trailed ten late in the third quarter and green Bay
was trailing Dallas fourteen to start the fourth period and
still beat the Cowboys in overtime thirty one twenty eight.
Green Bay has lost had lost five in a row.
Miami's won four straight up to seven and three now
(26:17):
final over Cleveland thirty nine and seventeen. Detroit was trailing
at Chicago early fourth quarter and still beat the Bears
thirty one thirty on a touchdown with about two minutes left.
Chicago had missed the extra point kick with about nine
minutes to go, lost by one. It was Giants over
Houston twenty four to sixteen. Se kwon Barkley a hundred
fifty two yards rushing in a score. Giants are seven
(26:39):
and two, and Pittsburgh scored ten points in the fourth
quarter to beat New Orleans twenty to ten. The game
in Munich went to Tampa Bay up twenty one three
and the fourth quarter Bucks beat Seattle. Those two teams
are each off next week. San Francisco, by the way,
plays the Monday night game in Mexico City next weekend
against Arizona. In LLEGE football's new polls, the top five
(27:01):
remain the same, led by number one Georgia. This Saturday
night on Fox TV, it's number seven ranked USC at
number sixteen U c l A eight pm Eastern time,
and in the NBA late game, the Lakers at two
and ten with Lebron James still out with the adductor straight.
Lakers are winning against the Nets nine eight seven, seven
(27:22):
minutes to go now. Kyrie Irving of course still out,
still suspended by the team, so not playing for Brooklyn.
Ben Simmons out with a sore knee. Kevin Durant does
have twenty five points, but Anthony Davis with thirty one
points fourteen rebounds for the Lakers and another from the
can you Believe It? Department these two items. Sacramento has
beaten Golden State to one fifteen. The Warriors are o
(27:46):
and seven on the road so far this season oh
and seven. I think they won the championship last year.
That seems like a long time ago. And Philadelphia edge
Utah one oh five ninety as Joe Lmbad scored fifty
nine points in Philly tonight. He also had eleven rebounds,
eight assists and seven blocked shots. Back to you, thanks,
(28:10):
Steve Hey. We come to you live every single Sunday
night from the tire rack dot Com Studios with Arnie
Spanier on Chris Plank. The best way to get in
touch with the show is by hitting us up on Twitter.
Arnie is at Stinking Genius one, I'm at Plank Show.
And everybody should be following us at Fox Sports Radio.
Marty rites on Twitter Plank the Genius is duping you
(28:31):
with his Super Bowl talk to get you to show
up for three hours of Arnie mann splanning the new
Pack twelve rule that if you beat U. C. L
A in the Rose Bowl is a twenty point or
greater underdog, you now automatically get to go to the
Pack twelve. You get the Pack twelve Rolls Bowl bit
for January one? Is this true? Did you guys clinch
the Rose Bowl last night? Don't I wish? Let me
(28:53):
tell you something that this was this was our biggest winning.
I don't know how long man, we're starting to turn
around the program. Man, that's wildcats. You're going down and
we're going up. I really hope we play you in
some ballgame. That that would be so great. That'd be
awesome that you know, listeners want it. It would be possible, um,
I think to potentially play. But listen, Sooners aren't even
(29:16):
Bowl eligible. Neither is Arizona. There is actually one of
the bulls that's in Chase Field in Arizona, but I
don't know if it hasn't packed. Well, there's an Arizona
Bowl that Barstool Sports sponsors. We could write to them
and haven't put Arizona Oklahoma. And I understand that, but
there's some bowld tieings that are involved in this aren't
And I don't know a that your Wildcats are getting
(29:38):
Bowl eligible or be that by my suitors are getting
bowl eligible. Let's get bowl eligible first before we start
trying to set up these matchups. Speaking of college football,
the Fox Sports Radio tailgate is always presented by the

(30:00):
t roll with the best shop online for free delivery
at Big green egg dot com, lifetime war warranty, free

of other tweets here real quick. I can see it now,
writes Johnny James, k C Miami a f C championship
game to h four hundred thirty yards with Tyreek a
(30:20):
hundred and seventy eight yards and three touchdowns. Fish move on. Well,
that sounds about good to me. I gotta see it. Miami,
Kansas City AFC Championshi, I've been saying that since the preseason,
so you know, nothing surprises me, and hopefully it's in
Miami though, Um, Paul, what do you have to be?
What are you gonna be so sarcastic like that? Right? Right?
All right, let's go back to talk about other Raiders
(30:42):
are gonna make the playoffs like you thought at the
beginning of the year. Yeah, yeah, you screwed this whole
year up. Yet you got it all wrong, didn't you. Right? Um?
I love Josh Allen, but he lost that game today. Also,
Ken Dorsey is awful. His entire playbook is go do
(31:02):
something Josh higher Frank right as a new offensive coordinator. Now,
I don't mind a good old fashioned melt down from
Buffalo Bills fans right now. But in all honesty, Arnie,
that's that's two weeks in a row where they just
haven't looked good in moments where they need to look good.
Not I'm not saying they were terrible from start to finish,
but where championship teams finished things. Ensure it took some
(31:24):
amazing place from Justin Jefferson. But when championship teams finished
things like doubting the football, you know, literally ending the game.
You you should be able to handle your business, and
they could not. Yeah, you know, Chris, when you have
a seventeen point lead, when you score thirty points and
you're at home, you think that would be enough to win.
I don't know if I care go and put the
(31:44):
whole thing ont Ken Dorsey, I gotta. I'll blame a
lot on it on Josh Holleny. He's made some critical mistakes. Sure,
when he's going good, he's going good. But when he
he makes a mistake, it's like a killer. It's like,
oh no, that just destroyed us. So um, you know that.
It's not like when Tom Brady makes a turnover, it
doesn't affect him all that bad. I don't know. Maybe
(32:05):
I'm making that up, but it just seems like when
just when Josh Allen has a turnover, it's like a killer.
You know well, And I also think he he does
make some yolo throws, right, I mean, he'll he'll go
out there, he'll throw those. You only live once and
I'm gonna fit it in this window. He'll he'll do
that all day long. So I'm not ready to panic
(32:25):
too much on Buffalo. You know, we'll see how they
bounce back from this uh couple of weeks, but they
gotta get right game next week? What is it Cleveland
next week for Buffalo? So I think they're gonna be okay. Uh.
Mr Chicken writes, I'm ready to anoint Colt McCoy as
the greatest Cardinal's quarterback of all time. I had to
google up that guy from the Rams, and I love football, Like,
(32:46):
who the hell is that guy? Hadn't seen him since
the preseason, But what a weird vibe that game had
around it. And listen, you can make fun of the
a f C West and the Raiders all that long,
and they deserve it. But nothing has been more shocking
to me than just how out of it the Los
Angeles Ram scene right now. And I don't just mean
the playoffs, Arenie, I just mean out of it. They
(33:07):
don't have any juice at all. Well, I think what's
more shocking to me is that there's two x Texas
quarterbacks in the NFL. I think, so, you know, who
would have thought that was gonna happen? What Colt McCoy
and who who else? Uh? Sam Alengar right, Oh that's right.
Ellenar was on the bench today see he looked really good. Yeah,
he looked really good. Though you threw me off for
(33:29):
a moment. I'm like, wait, that's right. Ellangar was over there.
He's sitting on the bench. They decided to actually play
decent whenever they play the Raiders, or maybe that has
something to do with the raiders terrible defense. Let me
let me fit. This wasn't when one, and so we
can have positive vibes only when we come back. Viper rights, Arnie.
The Fins are not going anywhere with two U and
their quarterback who is five ft six with old lady
(33:52):
hips and the arm strength of a snail. He's the
number one quarterback. Will him and Mahomes are the number
one and number two quarterbacks in the NFL right now?
I think, uh, statistically it's they say it's to him,
but look how much better he looks when you put
some weapons around them and you show up that offensive line,
and all of a sudden you went from maybe losing
your job and having to yank him in the second
(34:14):
half of games to where he's a m v P
Top five candidates or something like that. You know, Julian
jumps in the right away, says I totally agree about
Colton McCoy. Give him Kyler Murray's contract and get rid
of Kyler. Go Cardinals. I'm glad to see that the
Cardinals aren'tknee jerking, right. I'm glad to see their fans
are just hey. Cole McCoy went out there and played
well today. We beat a bad Rams team. I saw somebody.
(34:37):
I saw somebody put up the numbers seven million or
two union thirty million, which sounds like you, Chris. Don't
get the next GENO Smith, because he's just out there
all right. When we come back, really good tweets will
continue to get to him. We're gonna hit the locker
room and from the post game sound from angry and
happy coaches, and Todd Fermott is right around the corner
with Arnie and Plank on Fox Sports Radio. I want
(34:59):
to read two quick tweets. All right, Victor, how about
them Dolphins are? How about them? Yes? How about them?
And then Sean Wright, where's the Dolphins sound effect? How
come everybody gets a sound effect, but for for some reason,
Ramos doesn't play the Dolphins sound effect when we talk
about them. That says my normal shift to Arnie. Sorry,
(35:22):
I get lost. Gosh, excuses. I don't even know if
we have a do we even have a dolphin? Sound?
I think I'll check, let me check went on my phone.
But whatever, I think, I think that's what you're thinking of.
I I don't believe that we actually have like all
I listen, I'm not going to try to predict anything ever. Again,
(35:45):
that's kind of my You shouldn't really, I don't really know.
If just to the World Cup, why don't you do
something like that? All right, let's talk about the World Cup,
ladies and gentlemen here to fill the top of the ram.
There you go. What do you think of Team USA's roster?
By the way, are we gonna be talking about the
world comeing people? You know, I don't know what they
were talking about freaking air and Judge before we hit
(36:07):
the air, So I don't know. Artie maybe so I
think if Alexi Lawless leads us, we could definitely win it.
A good defender. I think he's the fox guy we retired.
Oh no, listen, called called out soccer. People were having
fun with it. Now. The other tweet that I want
to read comes to us from at Shady Shawn for
(36:29):
who must have a birthday on April who writes plank
your raiders are the pimples on Russell Wilson's asked Now
a couple of things. Um, I don't know why you
would tag Russell Wilson on that tweet, but Sewan, you
do you that's fine? He goes show Mike tighten some
respect and give them some airtime. So the second worst
(36:53):
division leader? How about that? Who's who's the worst? Oh? Set? Okay?
If you were ran king the division leaders in the
National Football League, UM, from worst to best? Number one Seattle,
number two, Tennessee. Yeah you know. I mean they went
two in a row and they just went through a
(37:14):
little bit of a slump. Their better team than there's
Joe and so I'd probably put tampat number three. Uh,
there's no doubt the best teams are Kansas City, Uh,
Philadelphia and Miami. Well, I guess Minnesota too. I got
I think I put in Minnesota there about Miami. Sorry Arnie,
but I do feel like every single time I watched
Miami to have receivers running wide open. So that's a
(37:35):
pretty good sign going forward. Not every defense can be terrible,
but yeah, there you go. Sean. Congratulations on beating a
terrible Denver team. You're in an awful division, so you're
probably gonna go to the playoffs. You you were the
one seed last year and it didn't go so well,
So congrats. I mean, I don't really know what to
do with that, arn'tie. It's one of those where it's
(37:56):
like I, if Derrick Henry stays healthy, good, you'll be
a proble problem. But man, they've gone back Tannehill. I
watched some of that game today. Um, I wasn't red
zone and I was slipping around and watching some broadcast today. Man,
Tanna looks terrible. They just look terrible offensively right now?
Do the Titans? So the only division leader that's negative
in the UH plus minus a scoring category? How about that?
(38:19):
Uh rusself is the goat? Right? The great John Walford
basically ended Matt Stafford's career. Well, you had a much
higher rating on his performance today than I did, exactly.
I don't know if you saw the same game as
we did. Are we gonna have a conversation about the
Rams at some point or are we in a situation
right now? Are any where? There's so many other interesting
(38:42):
stories in the league, like your Dolphins hell, maybe even
what the Giants are doing, the success of the Chiefs
minus Tyreek kill when many thought the bottom might fall out,
what the Vikings have become, what the Bills are fighting through, um,
and then the ridiculousness and success of what the Colts
did this week. I mean, is it that big of
a story or is it just kind of lost in
(39:03):
the shuffle right now because no one really cares. It's like, oh,
the Rams are bad, Well, guess what. So are the Packers,
And what's going on with Aaron Rodgers? And so are
the Bucks? And what's going on with Tom Brady. I
just I kind of feel like it's been a forgotten
storyline of suck so far this season. It is, Isn't
it funny? Like if the Cowboys are bad, people talk
(39:23):
about it, um, you know, if the Giants are bad,
people talk about it, But when the Rams are bad,
nobody wants to bring it up. You know, we were
kidding around last week. I don't know if I should
have been kidding around. Maybe it's sports true than we
thought that Matthew Stafford is probably gonna retire before Tom
Brady is when it's all said, especially with the you know,
with his type of health. I'm telling you. When you know,
when you look at some of the old quarterbacks out there,
(39:44):
I would put it put it past Stafford to say,
you know, I'm gonna hang it up. We've been through
a lot. I got my Super Bowls. Time to say goodbye.
You know. Well, I don't know how hurt his owner
uc L is truly if it's one of those things.
He seems to be a bit of a game. So
I think he might be the guy where if the
season is over or if they need to make that
(40:05):
move now. And I know this is a separate injury
he's dealing with. It kept him out this week, But
I mean, you might be onto something I just couldn't fathom.
Couldn't fathom that he would tap out right and say
I'm done, and not so much after this year. Maybe
another like two more years, but that's about it. Well
that's still too Why are you trying to say you
think a guy is gonna retire in three years? Come on, man,
(40:26):
the show's tonight, Artie, the Shows Tonight. Todd Ferman is
coming up next hour. More of your tweets and whose
season came to an end today. I say this withou
all due respect. Y'all. You guys are on fire on
Twitter tonight. I mean, Arnie absolute fire. Some people Matt
at their teams, others planning that Super Bowl celebration. It's
(40:49):
brought life to me this evening, so keep it coming.
It's the best way to get in touch with us
here on Fox Sports Radio at a stinking genius one
gets your right to Arnie Spanier. I'm at Plank Show.
All I tweet about is the Sooners and the Raiders,
and everybody should follow us at Fox Sports Radio as
we come to you live tonight from the tire rack
dot Com studio. Tire rack dot com will help you
(41:10):
get there an unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road

we carve out our college football talk? Do you want
to do it later this hour? Do you want to
do it here? Do you want to do it next hour?
Do you want to do it never? Right here? What
I mean, is there anything specific you wanted to hit on?
(41:32):
And and but I can't wait to ask this to Todd.
I'm being serious about this, Todd Ferman. Todd Ferman. He's
coming up the next segment. Um, what do you do
when you feel like you have the pick of the decade?
Which is I mean, whether you're right or wrong is
not the point? Like what I told you, I love
TCU plus seven and actually I thought that was a
(41:52):
wrong line and yeah, and we're like, how is that
even possible? And yeah, I mean, look, whether we got
a right or wrong isn't the point though, But what
do you do? I actually told it was the best me, Mike.
If I had a billion dollars, I would have bet
the whole thing on on TCU and they want easily.
I mean, how much do you bet when you feel
like you've got the pick of the century? You know
(42:12):
what I mean? Can I ask you just before we
get to this college football talk and we'll bring that
up to Todd. You know, for all of this talk
about you have a great feel and you know you're
you're confident about picks, you realize you could probably drive
like an hour and be where you could actually make
these picks. You don't have to just go to Vegas.
(42:33):
I mean, how far are you from New York? Oh,
I'm twenty minutes from the border, But that's not that's
not the point though, I would. I mean, that's not
the point. You can put your money where your mouth is.
If you had a billion dollars, you do it. Why
don't you go do it? Well? Because my buying foot
and lettage Divorcity. But if I could, I mean, I
don't want to just drive there to put a hundred
bucks on it. I want to I want to put like,
I want to put like millions of dollars. I don't
(42:55):
have millions of well but okay, so if you baby
staff right, if this is it's just always blown my
mind about you. And I mean this with peace and love,
and uh you literally talk about, oh this is the
greatest pick ever I feel great about. I want to
take your kids child fund and put it on your
your college fund and put it on it. And I'm like, yeah, dude,
(43:15):
you can drive twenty minutes and and open up whichever
app you want and you can bet on You're like, no, no, no, no,
I'm not gonna do that. No. I you know, of
course I have some of those things, and you know
I've met these little parlways and stuff like that. But
if I was looking abt like millions would have been
on TCU plus the seven. You know, well, why why
didn't you go then and say, Beth, I've got a
great feel on this. We've got a lot of money
(43:37):
in the bank. Let's put what would be the equivalent
of millions from my household on and let's go. I
would love to do you know what I year from
all these gamblers that are on our network. I would
like to speak to their wives and see how they
handle it, you know what I mean? Do they know
what their their husbands are betting on? How much they
bet on? Do they keep tracks so they can watch
(43:58):
the games at home? Do they not want to know?
I'm kind of curious how they handle it, you know.
I think it's like their job. I think it's one
of those where it's like, hey, honey, I made It's
like a salesman, right whenever you get a percentage. Wouldn't
it be funny though, if if come to find out
like Todd's probably not a great example, but like Bernie,
his wife doesn't know that he's actually a gambler, or
(44:19):
something like like, don't say anything. I'm not in the
spread business. I do. News radio Babe was talking about
Trump today. What are you talking about all right, so
anyway I want to get in some college football. Let's
not do it here because we've got too many good
NFL storylines, But I want to see how many teams
you still have a lie for the four team playoffs.
(44:40):
We'll do that coming up after we talk to Todd
at the bottom of the hour. And yes, listen, the
Lakers won one six one oh three moments ago. Um.
If if we were the Four Letter Network, we would
now bring on five different NBA analysts to debate whether
or not the Lakers are better alph without Lebron James.
But the NFL just wrapped up Week ten, so let's
(45:01):
get after it, all right, did did the Packers save
their season today? In our laundry list of bits that
we have every Sunday night during the NFL season, there is,
of course, after week ten we know this, which we'll
get to next hour. There's a little buy or cell
that we've tabled for the last few weeks, but well,
we'll get into it later. And then there is who
(45:22):
saved their season? Who season came to an end today? Arenie?
Did the Packers save their season today? Absolutely? I mean
it may not seem like much, I know what are
they four in six or or something to that effect.
But there's still at the number nine season only really
one game or a game and a half bye San Francisco.
And I'm not gonna say it's gonna be easy. And
(45:43):
maybe they only saved it for one week or maybe
a couple of weeks, but they lose today and you
get kids a goodbye and Aaron Rodgers isn't jumping up
and down doing fist bumps and you know, fist pumps
in the air and and all excited. He's the r
e X guy. Um, all bitter and stuff like that.
But they pulled it out. And what was the did
(46:05):
you see that stat that the Cowboys when leading going
into the fourth by what doubled by four points or more?
Are like a hundred and fifty three And oh yeah,
examt for today. So um yeah they they say their
season with a victory today, no doubt. Um yeah. I
I absolutely was shocked whenever I saw that stat pop up.
(46:29):
By the way, another stat that I saw pop up
and teams that I think saved their season saw this
on the red zone last season through nine games. The
Arizona Well, I've just gave it away. The Arizona Cardinals
were the first place team, areni They were eight and
one after nine games. Last year, the Rams were seven
(46:49):
and two, while both the Seahawks and Niners were three
and five this year. The Cardinals now, after their win today,
four and six, but after going eight one? Do you
put the Cardinals in that group that saved their season today?
I would have to look. I don't know, especially cause
I don't have confidence in Seattle running away with that
(47:11):
division um and they're only won a game or game
and a half potons every so, like I said, maybe
they've saved it for a little bit. But yeah, they
definitely saved there their season, There's no doubt about that,
because they lose there and they're like the Rams. The
Rams season is over. Are you understand that, don't you? Well? So,
would you put these back to back losses to both
the Buccaneers and now what happened today against the Cardinals?
(47:34):
You done so? Done with the Los Angeles Rams? Did
their season come to an end? Oh? Yeah? There, it's
ov R for your Los Angeles Rams. There. They're especially
when you don't even know the you know how long
Staffords gonna hold up, and they're just a mess right now?
And did you see that injury the Cooper Cup. Oh
my goodness that I'm surprised they didn't have to, you know,
(47:56):
do surgery immediately. How bad is it? I guess I
guess it doesn't see if it gets all that bad.
But it looks real bad when it happened, you know,
you know, I saw that the initial report was that
he had escaped anything that seemed to be too severe.
I don't know. I don't know how that's possible. That
doesn't mean that he is going to play next week. No,
(48:16):
I understand that. But Jordan Roderigue, I think I'm saying
that Roderig, whichever, she's an outstanding thank you, Roderigue, I
was over too, and thankfully both saved the day, whatever day.
She's a talented writer, she reports multiple let me make
sure I'm not falling for a fake account here. This
is a The account is verified because it's notable in
(48:38):
government news and entertainment. Okay, we're good to go. She
writes that multiple sources said that after initial testing on
Cooper Cup's ankle, he appears to have avoided a worst
case scenario with the injury. So that's that's the positive
now again, that's avoiding seasons over surgery. See a midway
through minicamp next year, which is what I thought happened
(49:00):
when we first saw it. She adds though important to
remember though that he'll go through more testing in the
coming days for a clear picture of the situation. And
Sean McBey didn't have an update after the game. Aren't
look with my medical experience, UM, I just can't see
how this guy is gonna be able to get back
on the football field. That looked just so bad and
(49:20):
you could tell the way he grabbed it and had
to be helped off, and it was just a horrible hit.
It was really uncalled for, to be honest with you,
I'm re watching it again. Ye kind of rolled up
under him. I thought it's leg broke. I literally thought
his leg had snapped. And you can see guys on
the side the action exactly exactly. Can I can I
get back to the positive? Then? A team that may
(49:42):
have saved their season. It happened whenever most of our
friends in the West Coast were probably asleep. But back
to back wins for the Buccaneers now to Tampa save
their season. Oh, they're in first place right now. I mean,
you certainly got to say they save this season. They're
they're probably gonna endu putting of the vision. Can you
believe that? Five and five? Um? And the only thing
(50:04):
they have to fight off is the Atlanta Falcons. By
the way, whoever picked the Saints to be one of
the top teams in the end of Peter King is
not who it was forgetting the boy? Are we gonna
hammer him every week? We should have the hammer Peter
King's segment for just picking the Saints to be the
best team in the NFC, that's like the worst prediction
ever the history of football. It was funny a couple
(50:25):
of weeks ago they had annihilated the Raiders, I mean
just embarrassed him. And I remember coming on the show
and saying, hold up here, I I liked Innis Salon.
The fact that they beat the Raiders. ZIP had absolutely
zero to do with the Saints being good and everything
to do with the Raiders being terrible. There's still a
bad football team. They've lost their last two games, so
(50:48):
I feel vindicated somewhat. But in the ultimate somebody's got
a win game. Oh, this will be good Next Saturday,
the Rams and the Saints Arnie, someone maybe in this
segment again next saying they one they saved their season,
the other will be ignored because we've already said their
season is coming to an end. But yeah, the Saints,
I mean, god, it's Andy Dalton. I mean, I don't
(51:10):
know what you expect when you're throwing Andy Dalton out there,
but it's just ugly for them. And I don't know
why I'm adding this team to this conversation because I
feel like their season has been over for a while,
But with the return of the Shawn Watson now looming
and the fact that they did beat Cincinnati their last
time out, I think it was a pretty telling sign today, Arnie,
(51:33):
with how your Dolphins took care of the Cleveland Browns,
pretty sure that their season, if it wasn't already over,
officially came to an end, even if DeShawn Watson comes
back and is incredible. Yeah, Cleveland squared early took that
early seven nothing lead up said, Okay, this is probably
gonna be a dogfight. We're gonna, you know, some games
that are gonna be easy summer not and we're gonna
have to struggle on this. And no was in that
(51:54):
case at all, And Miami pulled away, especially in the
second half Cleve and I thought maybe they could stick
around until they get the Shawn Watson and play around.
That's going to be the case right now? Yeah, not
even close. And then I want to add one more,
one more to a team that maybe maybe saved their
season today. Aren't The New York Giants won And I
(52:17):
know that it wasn't against the most incredible opponent that
we've seen so far the season. The Houston Texans are
currently battling with the Stupid Raiders for the top pick
in the draft. But I almost get this sense that
even at seven and two, you just gotta keep getting
these must wins. Are these wins that you're supposed to win,
(52:38):
right You gotta beat Houston, you gotta go be Detroit
next week. You had to beat Jacksonville. You were the
better team. Who would have thunk it now? They were
the better team than green Bay. But at seven and two,
it's kind of a little harsh to maybe say saved
their season. But now with with the way Philly's playing
off the bye week there eight, No, I just feel
like you've got to win those games you're supposed to win.
(53:00):
And I feel like the Giants are doing that to
put themselves in position and make the playoffs. You know,
it's funny when you say win the game, just supposed
to win, um, and you know, just continue down that path.
Remember it was Bernie before the season that said, look,
I'm not saying there you know that they're any better,
but if I was never gonna pick a team to
go from words the first um, Bernie was like, look
into the Giants. Their schedule is really easy. Um. You
(53:24):
know they're they're gonna play a little bit more free
and loose this year. Division isn't as as juggernaut age
you think it's gonna be. And right now you know
they're not gonna win the division, but they certainly are
off to a good start with that seven and two
UM record. They won't they won't be Philadelphia, but they're
they'll make the playoffs. Okay, a couple of quick tweets
before we get our time out of first time out
(53:45):
of hour too and bring in Todd Ferman. Uh Binny
writes this made me laugh and just popped into my timeline.
My vikings do nothing but give me weekly anxiety, but
still worth getting up at five a m. From Australia
to watch the Wow do you drink like Bloody Mary's
and stuff like that at that time of the morning
(54:06):
or what? Um? I don't see why you would have
to just have one special drink for the morning. Why
would you limit the men? You aren't he drinking that
you want? Thought? That's the morning choice to drink is
is the bloody Mary by the way, that's I can't
drink bloody Mary. That's that's horrible, like the tomato juice
or old man indigestion. What is it? Are you not?
(54:28):
I'm just not a tomato juice guy. That and um,
what's that drink that day give you at the at
the those things are horrible my goodness. Yeah, but but
just why I understand it's like, oh bloody Mary, breakfast drink,
drink whatever you want? Who cares? Don't put time limits
(54:48):
on it? People gets in the morning, I have a
cold beer or whatever. Um. But yeah, look at you
Arnie Bloody Mary's five am in Australia and then JP rights.
I heard Arnie last week making his picks on under
overs in Ghana soccer. Maybe he should stick with it.
It can't be any worse than his football picks. Football
picks are good? What's wrong with that guy? Define good? Um?
(55:14):
Right now you consider that that's an F minus man,
Come on, you gotta be better than that. All right.
When we come back, we got our men speaking up picks.
We got our man, Todd Ferman coming up to get
us caught up on everything going on in Vegas. It's
Arnie and Plank Fox Football Sunday, all right, real quick,
before we bring on Todd Ferman. The very first thing
(55:37):
that popped into my timeline on Twitter during that break
with someone retweeting his story about the bloody Mary Government's listening,
Arnie Elon's listening. All right, uh is is Todd ready
to roll about? Oh? Okay, okay, all right, my bad,
my bad, called down Ramos. You don't think ye what me?
We got this like go getting now we are getting up.
(56:02):
I can't believe that. I don't say that he's he's
with the rock stars. I had to laugh. I had
to laugh for this a text because I felt this
text in my my core. Um, very well, two of
them actually, this one was from at bakes here, who writes,
which is a great Twitter name. My colts are barely
(56:23):
squeaked by one of the worst teams in the league,
and we're throwing Roses at Jeff's Saturday. Give me a
bleep and break. Yeah, I mean, listen, I Todd from
is ready to roll, so let's bring him in. Todd.
I'm not gonna sit here tonight and do anything but
cry over this terrible Raiders team that might have been
the worst loss in the history of this organization. And
I'm telling you what, this stadium is going to be
(56:44):
taken over by Niner fans. If the Chargers had enough fans,
I'd say Charger fans would take him over. But every
team that comes into Vegas is gonna start taking over
the stadium. They're in big troubles, bag trouble this year.
It's definitely gonna get worse before it gets better. And
you can see how emotional Derek was in his postgame
press conference. I mean, it just feels like the team
feels beaten in battered. They continue to find ways to
(57:05):
blow leads today, not nearly as egregious as what we've
seen in previous weeks, but they're not doing little things
to get them over the hump. It doesn't feel like
they're all pulling in the same direction, and it's the
definition of a dumpster dive. Next Sunday, when the take
on the Denver Broncos were most likely one of those
teams would have to win, but it would only be
befitting how to first year head coaches have performed that
that game in Mile High End in a tie, You know, Todd,
(57:27):
I want to pull back the curtain a little bit,
um so get a little personal here, but I just
other you and all the other gamblers. Do your wives know,
like how much you gamble, who you gamble on? Do
they watch along with you? Do they not want to know?
Do they get too nervous? And you tell me, well,
that's a loaded question. And there's a variety of things
(57:49):
you ask in there, so I'll try and remember some
of what you asked. Then we can go through prong
by prong. Uh No, my fiance does not watch games
with me. She prefers not to, although she really does
have any idea who I've been on because I developed
a poker face over the years. She will, however, ask
about the best bets that we give out in the
podcast because she knows how important those are to us
and our brand and everything that we do. Forward facing
(58:11):
the pride we take in those so win or lose.
She's a member of the team. As far as dollar amounts,
she's asked over the years, because I have a policy
with her, don't ask questions if you're afraid to hear
the answer. So I just close that information. But on
a game in, game out basis, I don't let her
know exactly what the stake. I think she would have
a coronary because as we know, and this isn't to
(58:31):
be misogynistic or to gender profile, she sees dollars lost
any time I have a losing weekend what that money
could have done if we not had gambled with it.
But doesn't look at the winnings as anything else that
should be counteracted to that, knowing that it's been a
net positive year over year, I hear you, that's my
life in a nutshell. What's it a good day for
the books? What was there? What was their biggest potential loss? Um?
(58:56):
How to go? Yeah? One of the couple of sides
the Books needed or really did not go well for them.
They would have been happy with the Denver Broncos to
cover against the Tennessee Titans. That game obviously went awry.
There the Vikings Bills game. Depending on the books and
where they had that number, most of them didn't get
as low as three, so they didn't run the risk
of getting middled. Had that game fallen Buffalo by four,
(59:16):
it would not have been an ideal scenario. Arnie's beloved
Miami Dolphins put the books in a bit of a
tough spot. There was professional money that came in on Cleveland,
that's which drove that number down to a field goal.
But recreational betters back Miami like they've done seemingly every
week amid tow his hot streak. And the game that
actually worked out the way the house needed was the
Bear squandering lead, the missed extra point with the Lions
(59:37):
not only covering but winning that game out right. You know, Todd,
another game and I brought this up to you last week,
um and again pulling back the curtain. What do you
do when you have a get? Like last week? I
said at a house TCU seven point underdog. This is crazy, Todd.
This is like my pick of the decade. What do
you do when you have? I mean, but we laughed
for it now right or wrong? Though right or wrong?
(59:59):
I thought that was like the best pick I've ever
seen it. Like my life, I'm like, oh my goodness,
teeth us better, I better money line, I'm definitely gonna
take the seven if I had a gazillion dollars. I'm
betting a gazillion dollars. What's the last time you've had
a game like that where you like, this is my
best pick in the decade. And what do you do
at that point? Do you just mortgage the house? What
(01:00:20):
do you do? Well? First of all, you should never
mortgage the house for anything. So let's put that out
there now, first and foremost from rest sponsible gaming game right, Um,
as far as individual games, it's all about structuring your
bank roll. And on that teeth you game, Marty, I
laid the points with Texas. I got out ahead of it.
I laid six and a half. I really like that
spot for the long runs. If you'd have told me
that they hold tis you to three points in the
(01:00:41):
first half, I just said, Texas covers that first half
and probably wins that game going away. So it's why
when you look at your bank roll, and for those
of us that have been doing it for a long time,
you never want to put more than five percent of
your bank roll on any individual given game. No matter
how much you like it or how you try and
quantify the edge, maybe it goes up a little bit more,
but it's still a game of chance. There are still
(01:01:02):
eight one year old kids in the college realm and
the NHL. There's goaltenders that can get hot. So no
matter how confident you are in those games, you have
to make sure that there is a contingency plan in
place that you're not overallocating your bank roll for one
particular match. I I can't do like when I play
black jack, if I have five up at five dollars,
five dollars, five dollars. If I lose, I'm all in.
(01:01:24):
Let's go, let's be push it all the middle, let's
bet at all Let's go. You know, yeah, it's a
little bit of a different mentality when you're doing a
day and day out as a sports better more than
anything else. But you know, you're exactly right. I mean,
there's no doubt a level of frustration that comes in
the term that's always used not only through sports betting,
but at the card table is tilt, and you have
to be in control of your emotions realizing that if
(01:01:45):
you've made a small hole for yourself on any given day,
you don't want to make it larger, chasing bad money
with good money. Live to fight another day, Trust your
process and realize their inevitable ebbs and flows that nobody
wins every single day, week, months, year that they do this.
Or you could just sit here and talk about all
your great vets and how much money do you make,
(01:02:06):
which already never does. I mean literally, Todd, he could
drive twenty minutes and get that legally, but I'm not
gonna do it. Um. I would talk college football with
you real quick, and we don't have to get into
the mess of how many teams are still alive. I'm
intrigued by what's going to happen the rest of the
way in the Pac twelve. You got two big matchups
next weekend. Uh usc has got the big showown with
(01:02:27):
U c l A U c l A Stubbs there
to but you know they'll be ready for this game.
Do we see USC as being a team that can
crash the playoffs even with what happened to U c
l A in Oregon this past weekend? I think the
resume obviously takes a hit. But given that USC is
such a big brand and the desire of college football
to finally include another Pack twelve team in the College
Football Playoff. I think will trump that. I know college
(01:02:50):
football fans go, well, are they one of the best
four teams in the country. We can't sugarcoat it. This
is as much a reality TV program as anything else.
And if USC finishes the year twelve and one conference champion,
with their only loss coming by a single point on
the road in one of the most difficult venues to
play in west of the Mississippi, it Salt Lake City
hard to keep them out, regardless of what hell it
(01:03:10):
happens everywhere else. I think when you're trying to assess
the College Football Playoff, most likely the Big Ten gets
one team in between Michigan and Ohio State. Maybe there's
a path for two. You look at the sec L
s U winning out and going eleven and two as
a conference champion. That would throw a wrench into things
because you'd have to figure out what you were doing
with Georgia and Tennessee, because Tennessee's resume at eleven and
(01:03:31):
one doesn't hold up against George, who has the head
to head but still is probably significantly better top to
bottom than a one lost Big Ten team and even
a one lost team coming out of the Big Twelve.
If it should be TCU, should they run the table?
And he was in the conference championship. Okay, I didn't
pick Arizona to pull the upset, but I'm gonna tell
everybody I did, Dodd, did you like my Wildcats? Nothing
(01:03:53):
fluke like about it, Ernie. I actually watched that game,
or at least in its entirety. In the second half,
the defense made enough plays that created tackles for a
loss put U c l A behind the down and distance.
It wasn't U c l A's best game by any
stretch of the imagination, but you have to give Jaden
the lower credit. He extended plays you know, was able
to execute with both his arm, his leg and his
decision making. And I think it's a lot of reason
(01:04:13):
for optimism down there in Tucson what Jet Fish has
done to upgrade the overall talent level. And while I'm
not sure they'll get boll eligible this year, I think
going forward that's a program whose stock you want to
buy in the fact, well, they'll they'll get eligible real quick.
The one more thing I can't. I can't. UM. When
the Bills, when the Bills had the ball on the
half yard line, UM, the numbers said they had a
(01:04:35):
ninety chance of winning. Oh my god, I know you
hate that plank, crazy Todd. They had the ball with
five seconds left, They're out by seven. They got My
question is what is it? What is the number like?
Is that like a hundred to one of thousand to
one if you wanted to bet the other side to
win at that point? What what does ninety percent equate
(01:04:56):
to win? Numbers? There is no live betting option at
that juncture in the game. It pulled off. That pulled
off the board. Uh so you did not have the
opportunity to get involved there. Yeah, I mean most books
aren't gonna put up numbers there when the team just
has to kneel out. They don't think that you're going
to see immaculate plays like we saw from her Edwards
and the Philadelphia Eagles and Joe Pisar check back in
(01:05:17):
the day. So once a team has the mathematical edge
and the clock working in their favor, uh, those numbers
off the board. Because what you can do, Arenie, you
just put up a massive amount of money, and you'd
make a dollar every time you did that, and over
the course of the full season, you'd be sitting pretty
in the Kappard seat despite you know, significant liability. Knowing
how big an outlie or something like that actually is,
I'd be rich if I would have bet the other
(01:05:40):
Todd have a great week buddy at the Board podcast
previews of all the games coming up, and we got
a great weekend ahead of us. Hey, always a pleasure
gent look forward to and have a great week over
there as well as Todd Firm and on Twitter, I mean,
what are you just gonna do wildly randomly refresh until
you get that odd to pop off there we go
to see you refreshing your computer? All right, Great stuff
(01:06:00):
with Todd Firm and give him a follow on Twitter.
His podcast is fantastic. Simply searched about the Board podcast. Alright,
Steve Disager is in the house. Everythings of fine, making
out the schedule. We're gonna make the Sagar works Thanksgiving
next week, so I got I'll get that ain't happening
once again. We see the power you wield and these
we'll see if you're working Thanksgiving or not, my friend,
(01:06:21):
we'll see I have asked to work the day after Thanksgiving,
but I don't know if they Well, I don't have
to say this that I enjoy working. I actually asked to,
but they may have already made out the schedule. So
I'll find out. I'll let you know, and then I'll
let you know. Yeah, the new playoff rankings don't come
out till Tuesday night, but the new college football polls
(01:06:43):
were out today, by the way, and just outside the
top four our Tennessee L s U and USC. Of course,
Tennessee had the impressive back to back wins against L
s U and Bama, but got clocked by Georgia USC.
And this is only on paper. I'm saying this. If
they finished twelve and one and their last three games
are beating U C. L A, Notre Dame, and say
(01:07:04):
Utah in a rematch for the conference title, that would
be mighty impressive, ladies and gentlemen. And by the way,
the transfer from Oklahoma Caleb Williams going into this weekend
had twenty eight touchdown passes in one turnover. The entire
USC offense had one turnover for the season going into
this weekend. On Fox sports dot Com, the odds on
(01:07:26):
favorites for the Heisman are the quarterback from Ohio State
c J. Stroud, then the Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker, and
then Caleb Williams of USC Drake May, Drake May. If
you're picking a list of six to eight guys, he's
got to be on at the North Carolina quarterback. As
for the you mentioned, somebody's got to win that game
(01:07:46):
next weekend. In the in the NFL, we've take We've
got Rams at Saints next Sunday. That's of course for
Fox TV for the l A market. I don't know
who else will be getting that outside the California. But
the afternoon con test after that is the Raiders at
Denver just for the record last weekend. And there's also
a Texans at one. Seven and one will be hosting
(01:08:08):
Washington next weekend. What a terrible slate of games. There's
also Chicago at Atlanta next weekend, so yeah, get ready
for all of those. Tonight, we had the Chargers leading
at halftime but losing at San Francisco twenty two to sixteen.
Each team's kicker went three for three on field goals.
Could have certainly been a higher scoring game. Each team
(01:08:30):
had red zone opportunities but didn't catch them in all.
Next Sunday night and this was flexed during this week.
Next Sunday night, it will be the Chargers hosting Kansas
City KSEY seven and two after a home win against
Jacksonville twenty seven seventeen. Patrick Mahomes four touchdown passes, one interception,
three one yards wide receiver Juju Smith Schuster did leave
(01:08:50):
with a concussion. Chiefs led twenty to nothing late in
the first half. In the lost Trevor Lawrence, who was
sacked five times, had two touchdown passes to Christian Kirk
who finished with nine catches a hundred five yards. Giants
are seven and two as well. Believe it or not,
beat Houston twenty four to sixteen. Steelers with ten points
in the fourth quarter, beat New Orleans twenty ten. We
had Indianapolis and Arizona picking up wins and then the
(01:09:14):
two overtime games. Minnesota comes back to win at Buffalo
thirty three thirty Green Bay over Dallas thirty eight in
ot that ends the Packers five game losing streak. You mentioned.
College football, the top five remained the same in the
polls today, led by Georgia at number one. Oregon fell
to number twelve in AP. Old Miss down to number fourteen,
(01:09:34):
Washington number fifteen now and yes this Saturday night on
Fox TV, number seven, USC at number sixteen U c
l A eight p m. Eastern time. Also this weekend
it's number ten, Utah at number twelve Oregon. The pack
twelve has six teams in the AP Top twenty five.
We still got a couple of games to go here.
(01:09:55):
FS one will be carrying Texas at Kansas on Saturday.
US women's soccer w to had lost three straight, beat
Germany two to one. College hoops Colorado one at Tennessee.
NBA late games to the Lakers and Sacramento. The Lakers
gotta win over Brooklyn while Sacramento beat Golden State. The
Warriors are oh and seven on the road this season.
(01:10:16):
Philadelphia edge Utah one oh five ninety eight. Joel embiid
fifty nine in this game. Insane. He just had a
big game yesterday, so in twenty four hours he scored
a hundred and one points. Ladies and gentlemen, uh final
note on the Sunday night game, the Niners win. According
(01:10:37):
to one longtime NFL writer, Scott Kasmar, that the coach
of the forty Niners. Kyle Shanahan is now forty eight
and forty eight in his pro career as a head coach.
He's never been above five hundred. He's had five prior
chances to go above five hundred and has lost all
five of those. The next game is the Mexico City
(01:10:58):
game Monday night of next weekend San Francisco against Arizona, Arizona, Arizona. Right, hey,
did you see this early line for Saturdays Minnesota Iowa game, which,
by the way, um, there is not a team that
controls their own destiny to play in the Big Tin
West Championship, all right, to win right now? It's a
(01:11:20):
four way tie arney. The winner, of course gets to
play the winner of Uma Michigan. Thank you, And to
me it's like we are all right, who might do
they even have a chance? The answer is no, they
don't have a chance because get this, the over under
for the Minnesota Iowa game is thirty two and a half.
(01:11:43):
I was gonna and on yards, the over under is
about one fifty. I'm guessinge could you imagine if they
had a yard? I'm sure it's being put together as
we speak, but it's gotta be low. You got over
just for the hell of it because of the numbers.
So low. Have you seen at offense for Iowa? Yes
I have. I've watched it a lot. But you know what,
(01:12:03):
you kid never be you bet un. They got a
pick six yesterday that counts on the scoreboard. All right,
I still think my favorite staff this year. You're selling me.
All right, let's hit the over. Let's go, let's already
drive to New York. Let's put some money on that
thirty two and a half over with Iowa. The Vikings
took the lead on a fumbled snap at the goal line.
(01:12:25):
Anything can happen. This is true, This is true. The
Iowa Hawk guys could score some touchdowns. But yeah, it's
college football so weird this year. So when we come back,
we got more from the saga. I want to carve
some time for some college football talk, just off the
top of your head before we break, Arnie, how many
teams do you look at and say are still in
the mix for a potential spot in the playoffs. I've
(01:12:46):
got I've got seven in my mind, all right, So
you say, at Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, TCU, Tennessee, um USC,
I might have nineties us me l U in Alabama.
I stop it there, No, Alabama's out. Alabama's out. They're
(01:13:08):
They're not going to Arnie Clemson, No they don't. Alabama
does not have a better chance than Clemson. The nine
that are still alive, or Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, TCU, Tennessee,
l s U U s C, Clemson, and North Carolina.
Because if North Carolina wins out and beats Clemson in
the a c C Championship game and you have a
(01:13:30):
little bit of craziness happened in front of you, and
you're gonna have one hell of a debate between saying
Ohio State or a Michigan team with one loss. Listen, TCU,
if it loses one game, they're out. I mean unless
they lose to someone they can avenge that loss in
the Big twelveth championship game. Arnie. They can't afford a loss.
What what are you going strictly by schedule or excuse me,
going strictly by record and only the teams that with
(01:13:53):
one loss you for some reason, they're forgetting about how
tough a schedule Alabama has. Alabama's out Arnie there out.
They're not going to the playoffs. There's no scenario where
they get into the playoffs. It's time to accept it.
It's time to move on. L s U is that team,
not Alabama. L s U is going to the SEC
championship game and they'll have a chance Alabama. Alabama is
(01:14:14):
not getting in as a two loss team that didn't
play in their championship game ahead of Ohio State or
Michigan if that's their one loss. I heard somebody saying,
if they were doing a computer top four Alabama, was
it number three? ARENI, there's a computer that has Texas
at six right now. Okay, I can find any computer
ranking will tell you what you want. All right, So
(01:14:36):
when we come back, I got nine teams. Nine one
of them is not Damna, but Clemson in North Carolina
are very much alive for the playoffs. Right now. We'll
go more in depth on that next plus post game
sound and audio. But when we come back, we've got
tons more NFL details from the weekend that was on
Fox Sports Radio. All right, it's Areni in Plank on
(01:14:57):
a Fox Football Sunday. A lot of stuff to get
to from the NFL. So we we tap tap in
Steve here for this segment. What's going on, Steve Hello,
We do have one note from the NBA before we
get to all of this NFL stuff. The Joel and
b game that we mentioned tonight in the Philadelphia win
over Utah, and Bead scored fifty nine points. The rest
(01:15:18):
of his team had forty six. Confirmed it's been three
years since an NBA game had one player scoring more
than half of his team's points. That was Damian Lillard
in just for them. So tonight at San Francisco Santa Clara,
technically the Niners were trailing the Chargers sixteen ten at
the halftime break and then shut him out second half
(01:15:39):
beat him twenty two to sixteen. So a couple of
weeks ago against the Rams, Niners shut them out in
the second half and allowed under sixty yards. Tonight against
the Chargers, shut him out second half and allowed under
sixty yards. In fact, the Chargers had exactly fifty two
yards of offense in the second half tonight, which for
that franchise is their fewest in any half in fifteen years.
(01:16:03):
So the Chargers did come in at five and three,
but in the last month they won three close games,
and those were, let's be honest, due to mistakes by
the opponent Cleveland, Denver, the overtime game Atlanta. So the
Chargers sit at five and four and we'll be hosting
the Chiefs next Sunday night. There was a well, they
do play well against the Chiefs. We saw a classic
(01:16:24):
Thursday night game late last season at this same venue.
We saw a great Thursday night game early this season
in case. So it doesn't mean it's going to be
a blowout, but let's be honest. Patrick Mahomes had four
touchdown passes today. If they win next Sunday night, there
eight and two already, and you've already discussed how the
rest of the division has turned out this year. There
(01:16:45):
was a note from the NFL during this game tonight
that Nick Bosa's sack meant that the Bosa family has
over a hundred sacks combined for their careers, Nick, Joey Bosa,
and their dad John. The amazing thing to me is
that the league, this is official from the NFL that
they're now the seventh family do I have at least
(01:17:06):
a hundred tacks combined in their careers, which is stunning
to me because sacks have not even been a stat. Yeah,
it's just the last forty years of NFL history. I
mean Deacon Jones career. I'm not saying father son, but
just he probably has the sacks lead all time, but
you never hear that because sacks was an official stat
back when he was playing. It's just amazing to be
(01:17:28):
and from Pro Football Focus, as we talked about the
Bills somehow losing at home, the Buffalo Bills in the
last month have not scored a touchdown in the second half,
only field goals. Here we had Minnesota in the final
minute of regulation today at Buffalo was stopped on a
fourth and goal quarterback sneak and still took the lead
(01:17:48):
on the next play with the fumbled snap at the one.
Josh Allen wound up with one TD pass but three
turnovers and Minnesota wins by a field goal in overtime.
Justin Jefferson was targeted sixteen times times in this game.
He had one of the catches of the year that
comes to drive alive in four the defender had two
hands up for the ball, Jefferson reaching back with one
(01:18:10):
and came down with it and it did not hit
the ground. It was amazing. That's what you get for,
not for trying to catch the ball and not knocking
into the ground when you're trying when you're the defender,
which is exactly what he tried to do. So he studied.
He is ten receptions, nine three yards and a touchdown.
But to have what happened happened, this is how rare
(01:18:30):
it is. Last week, remember when the Bucks were at
home against the Rams. The Bucks had a gold to
go in the last two minutes and got stopped, and
my goodness, they got the ball back in one anyway
right after that, and now here we had the Vikings
stopped on a goal to go with under two minutes remaining,
and they wound up winning that game. In the last
thirty years of the NFL, that hadn't happened to any
(01:18:53):
team in any game, and here, in back to back
weeks it has happened. A reminder, the uh Men's World
Cup starts next Sunday, with the host country Qatar, playing
the first day. Once we get to Thanksgiving week, people,
the Thanksgiving game on Fox TV is Giants at Dallas.
The Giants are sitting at seven and two Right now.
(01:19:14):
Day after Thanksgiving is US men's soccer against number five
ranked England and then the day after that Thanksgiving weekend
is Michigan, Ohio state three in a row. Yeah, that
might be another country, but okay. US is gonna open
against nineteen ragged Whales, a team that want to playoff
(01:19:35):
for Europe's last but don't have any confidence in the
U S team, the youngest in this field. Just for
the record, they don't do well against European state. They
don't do well trying to score against good teams. But
I'll be watching. All the US games are at two
pm Eastern, but most of the games are in the
morning in this tournament our time, thanks Steve to say. Hey,
reminder to tune into Fox Sports or Radio's Countdown to

Welcome in the hour three of Arnie and Plank on
a Fox Football Sunday broadcasting live from the tire rack
dot Com studios. Tire rack dot com. We'll help you
get there and unmatched a selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers tire
(01:20:42):
rack dot com. The way tire buying shouldn't have. Had
an incredible finish in the Vikings Bills game and a
Sota pulls it off. That's two in a row in
the l column for Buffalo and Arnie's Dolphins looking pretty good.
Handled that jugger. Not the Browns today. Just how lucky
we are to have a quarterback like to Ah, thank god.
Since then it took Joe Burrow, and thank goodness we
(01:21:04):
had were and Thill to take two over Justin Herbert.
So it just worked out like that. You know what
I mean, Chris, next week you'll be ready to cut him.
I mean, just stop and stop on this. I told
you on the day of the draft. If when the
Dolphins had to pick, if they take just An Herbert
over to uh that, I'm quitting the show and I'm
(01:21:26):
gonna stop being a Dolphins fan. I'm walking off right there.
And then I go I can't do it anymore. It
better be too, and thank goodness to it wasn't the
number one pick. I was so nervous on that draft
that it was nervous about two ago at number one
over Burrow, aren't he. I don't think there was a
soul that thought that was gonna happen. I was a
little nervous about that. Well, congratulations on what sounds like
(01:21:48):
the next Joe Montana left handed guy. Gotta compare to
left hand the next Steve Young. I getch a couple
of super Bowl rings there right now. He's on path
for Steve Yes, absolutely, maybe even better. But we'll see.
We'll see how it goes. We'll see how many super
Bowls he guys by the time he retires. I cannot
wait until he has a bad outing to watch you
turn on him. You know the great heels quarterback nature boy,
(01:22:13):
that's Arnie. He's got a chair and just ready to
hit him in the back. Well before we hit our
kind of synopsis of week ten, Arnie, I want to
hit two tweets, this one from our man Paul in
the Bills Maffi, who writes, I love Josh Allen, but
he lost that game today. Also, Ken Dorsey is awful.
His entire playbook is Josh, go do something? Uh is
(01:22:36):
is Paul onto something here? Arnie? Can I dive into
my after week ten? I know this the Bills are
in big trouble right now? Or or is this kind
of a natural mid season swoon? No, you gotta really
go ahead and do put a lot of blame on
Josh Allen. I don't care where he is on the
m v P m VP vote or something like that,
and he's gotta cut down on the interceptions. But even
(01:22:58):
even with that being said, they're risks. You know, Captain
obvious that last one. What are you thinking about knowing
that even if you don't go you know, even if
you don't score a touchdown, you get the field goal
and the game is going to continue. Right Well, which
time was left when you threw that last interception? I mean,
of course you'd rather have a tie than a loss anyway,
so it really doesn't make a difference. But um yeah,
(01:23:20):
he he get thrown interceptions like that. And by the way,
we we gotta stop with the ten minutes of of overtime.
We gotta go back to fifteen minutes because you know,
when team gets the ball, they chew up all the
clock and it just sucks. You gotta go back to
the fifteen minute overtime. I feel like we fight about this,
not like you and I, but just in general, about
what overtime should look like in the NFL regular season.
(01:23:42):
I feel like it's been a constant fight. They're worried
about TV windows. Now. You and I don't mind a
game going on forever, but there's other games and there's
other markets, but I don't, I don't care. Let's let's
figure out something that's if we're and we're not in
the every team gets a shot yet, right with it's
the new rules in the in the playoffs, but we're
(01:24:03):
still at a point where, all right, I don't feel
like what Arnie said should should happen, and it does
a lot right get over time, you're fired up. One
team milks the clock and kicks the exactly and you're like, alright,
well we got a chance now, but we gotta we
gotta be in like a two minute offense. So really
bad the overtime is meant to at least I thought
was one so you don't finish in the tie, and
(01:24:26):
two that you make it fair so we just add
the five minutes so you have a little bit more
time and you're not so pressed after the first drive.
That's all that to do. Adam writes what I learned today,
The Miami Dolphins are the best team in the a
f C. Is the world ready for an Eagles Dolphins
super Bowl? And oh, by the way, guys, Josh McDaniel
(01:24:47):
should be watching film on the Jets defense. The Patriots
play the Jets next week. Josh McDaniel out in Vegas
and already Bill Belichick's o see before the inks dry
on the fire paper. You know, By the way, that
is a good question. Who are the Dolphins gonna play
in the super Bowl? The Eagles or Minnesota? That's pretty
(01:25:09):
much it, right, I don't right, Yeah, I mean I
don't even know why we did two hours? Well does
go to the super Bowl other than the Eagles of Minnesota?
You see anybody else that yet? Yeah? Why don't we
just cut the season short? I mean, we're te we
can save ourselves a lot of suffering. Uh, just go ahead,
cut it down. Now, Let's have the Eagles and and
not the Eagle. Well, yeah, the Eagles. Eagles are better
(01:25:31):
than the Vikings. Let's do a final four. Let's see
the final four, So Eagles Minnesota, and let's just go
ahead to Sansas City and Buffalo play again, and then
we'll just move on from there. I would I would
go ahead and bet and take the odds right now
that those are gonna be the four teams left. Um,
when it's all said and done, you don't have to
be captain obvious for that. Yeah, way to go out
on a limb and pick the eight. No team in
(01:25:51):
the seven really impressed with you right now. Oh, you
weren't saying that when the Dolphins were three and three.
You tried to throw dirt on my grave. I'm going
dirt on your grave now. They're not going to the
Super Bowl. Alright, One more quick one here too. Robert
kind of cracked me up with this one. Maybe the
Raiders should have hired Jeff Saturday instead of McDaniels. Just
(01:26:14):
let's all calm down. I'm gonna tell you the same
thing that I told you after the Saints game. All right,
today had nothing to do with the Colts. Hell. The
Colts tried to fumble the ball back to the Raiders,
and that dopey linebacker tried to pick it up instead
of just falling on it or the game is over.
They let some forty year old, decrepit old man run
(01:26:37):
for like thirty yards while our safety had a weight
attached to his back and couldn't catch that senior citizen.
So yeah, I wouldn't go hanging banners. Well, I know
what you do, colts, that's what you do. You hang banners.
I wouldn't go celebrate this one right now. This is
more about the Raiders and aptitude than anything you did.
Did the lawses still bother you when you know they're
(01:26:57):
going I celebrate the mall all right show, Harney, after
a week ten of the National Football League, let's get
after it, because every single show we wrap things up
with our final hour with after week ten, I know this,
So you start us off, what have you learned? What
do you know? What was cemented home by today's results?
(01:27:19):
And after week ten? I know this, and I know
they just beat the Texas. But the Giants are gonna
be around. They're gonna be a team that's gonna be
there to the end. They're probably gonna be a playoff team,
and they are for real. They're not gonna win the division,
but They're probably not gonna get to Philadelphia, but I'll
tell you this, this is the type of team that's
built for the playoffs, So you'll have to grind it
out against them. Their defense is gonna step it up.
(01:27:39):
They've got just enough offense to go ahead and put
points on the board. Se Quon Barkley's looks like he's rejuvenated.
Um Daniel Jones, you know, I took him five years
to figure it out, but he certainly is a lot
better than the first four years. I like what I
remember now. I know the schedule has been just easy
as hell. I mean it's been what's their impressive win
(01:28:00):
to you? I don't have the schedule in front of me,
but why they don't have any impressive wins? Is that
what it was? Well, Tennessee's terrible, Caroline is terrible. Still,
you'll be the first place team. But I know that
was early in the year. Green Base terrible. Okay, how
about they beat Baltimore in Week six. That's a good
win right now, was a fun game if I remember too. Uh,
(01:28:21):
But yeah, Jacksonville and Houston, I mean, crossing with the
a f C South is doing wonders for them right now.
And uh, I mean, I don't know. I am just
I like them too. I'm with you. In fact, that's
why I brought it up earlier that I think they
needed to make sure they win these games like they
had today against Houston, like they have next week against Detroit,
because that puts them in a in a spot where
(01:28:42):
they've got eight wins after next week. If they and win,
they take care of Detroit. I'm liking him. I'm not
trying to get carried away that they're gonna win playoff games,
but I like, I looked this up now because you
made me looking at maybe me think about this strength
of victory. Out of all the teams in the NDC
in the playoffs, the Giants have the lowest. Their strength
of victory is point three nine six. That means they've
(01:29:05):
beaten the teams with that type of winning percentage. The
only team that has done worse and they're not even
in the playoffs the Chargers at point to nine three,
So that those are the two worst teams um that
have beaten just absolutely the direct of society out there.
I mean, the Raiders have beaten the Texans and the Broncos.
I don't know how their strength of victory can be
(01:29:25):
that high, but alright, those are point to five, oh
strength of victory. Look out, look out? What they want?
Two damn games after Week ten of the National Football
League and the excitement that was, I know this. I'm
taking me some Kirk cousins. I think the Vikes are
for real now. Granted it's like that. It helps whenever
they are sitting right now with a five game lead,
(01:29:47):
so they're barring some sort of implosion of biblical proportion,
they're gonna win their division. But a game like that,
you know, you got to make some fantastic, spectacular, borderline
miraculous place to be in that position. But when you
give that position, you still have to win the game. Uh.
They couldn't run the football because they were playing for
(01:30:08):
behind so much. I mean, they ended up throwing it
fifty times, and they in a hostile environment where a
little snow fell for a while, Buffalo was its own
worst enemy. But by god, Arnie, give me some of
this Vikings team right now. I'm digging and I'm loving
what they're about. Did you you think that they're you'd
picked them over in Philadelphia or what? After Week ten?
(01:30:29):
I know this the second best team in the NFC
going out on the Lamb with the one lost team.
I still think Philadelphia is better, but I think that
they've got that road right now to where they could
play in the NFC Championship game. I think they have
that kind of talent after week ten. I know this.
The Vikings are that good after week ten. I know this.
And you're gonna see all these teams that are in
(01:30:50):
first place right now, but some of them are not
going to be able to hold on to that divisional lead,
and one is probably gonna be the Seattle Seahawks. Look,
I give them all the credit of the world what
they've been able to pull off right now. I think
that's gonna be San Francisco's division to win. I still
expect a big fall off by Seattle, so I'm waiting
for that that but I I give credit for what
(01:31:11):
they've done, but I think they're doing it with a
little smoking mirrors right now. Do you see the upcoming
schedule for the Seahawks after the bye week next week
where you gonna show me what do they play? Like,
I'm gonna just reel it off. They play the Raiders,
they play the Rams, and they played Carolina. All right,
let me rephrase that, so hold on to it for
(01:31:32):
three more weeks. Then after that they'll give it up
when they play San Francisco, Kansas City and the Jets.
I think they did finish off against the Rams on
that stuff. All right. I've held on this most of
the night. I tried not to get too angry. I
don't know if I seem bitter or not. But after
week ten, I know this burn it down. And I
don't mean that obviously literally, but the Raiders, I would
(01:31:58):
unfortunately say, you're right on one thing, aren't He Probably
the last year for Derek carton the Raiders, you know what,
maybe his last year being a starter. I'm not so sure. No,
he'll start somewhere next year. Dude, Jacoby Brissette is starting
in the NFL. Now. We watched some dude named John
Wafford start a game or something like that today. I
(01:32:19):
think he'll be the starter for the Colts next year.
I think Derek car will be the starting quarterback for
the Colts next year. I feel that him and I
think that the Raiders will end up with a terrible
draft pick and either hopefully they picked Will Anderson, but
I think they could end up having like a Baker
Mayfield as their starting quarterback or something. Because Josh McDaniels,
(01:32:39):
he's he's that arrogant he thinks and the Broncos guy,
remember the preseason, was telling the story, I can make
anyone a quarterback. Thank he still feels that way, and
so they're gonna deal. They're gonna deal. Car Davante won't
want to stick around, and you think he think he
wants to be on a team that will be tanking. No,
so it's over. I let it go. Don't let Josh
(01:32:59):
Jacobs go somewhere and be happy. Let Derek Carr goo
quarterbacks somewhere and be happy. Um, I don't know, get
a first round pick for the because he want to
be there. Well, I think the Texans are. They're gonna
get their quarterback this draft. Now. The perfect spot as
it appears now to get your quarterback might not be
(01:33:20):
this draft. It might be next year. Because you know,
Caleb Williams is waiting. I just blanked on the kid's
name from North Carolina that I was bragging on earlier.
That's my heisman favorite. His name escapes me. But in
there might be some dudes next year. But Arnie, I
just think that you'll see Houston go get a quarterback
in this draft, if that's Young or if that's Stroud,
and I think it's time for the Raiders to just
(01:33:42):
go ahead and rebuild. Two and seven. Mike Mayock and
John Gruden were a disaster. Part of this is paying
for that, but I mean it's it's time to move on. Getady.
You didn't say the coach though, No, because Mark Davis
has built He's the moron that gave him the stupid deal.
You bringing his guy as the general manager. He's gonna
win a battle over Derek Carr. Are your roster right now.
(01:34:04):
I mean that's you're you're investing in that, so your
coach should win that battle, right I mean, Derek Carr's
gotta be the fall guy if you're truly making a change,
because if you liked where you were last year, then
why wouldn't you have just kept Rich Pisacchi as your
head coach, moving from people like that guy? You know what,
you won games? I got one more, but you got
(01:34:26):
anything else? And what you my? I'm losing. I'm not
I'm just losing my mind. This is the worst football
season I've ever had Arnie after a week ten in
the National Football League season. I know this, and I
like watching fun football as much as I hate the Chiefs.
I love watching Mahomes Arnie. I know you don't care
for the intricacies of how plays are called. You just
(01:34:49):
want to see the quarterback throw in a long way.
What the Dolphins are doing is fun. It's fun to
watch the way that Mike McDaniel is using that offense.
But you know what I'm really digging thinking after Week ten,
even though there's still a lot of work to do,
throw on the football. My man, Justin Fields is showing
that in the right offense, he can be an NFL quarterback.
(01:35:09):
He is knocking on the door of not just I
mean numbers running the football as a quarterback already. He
could win the damn rushing title this year. And that's wild.
There's a quarterback. But I know the Bears lost, and
it was partially as faults doing that pick six, uh,
and they missed an extra point where that game could
have been an overtime. But I'm having fun watching Justin Fields,
(01:35:30):
and I'm thinking that he's gonna be in a position
where the Bears. I don't necessarily know if it'll be
short term vindicated. But I think the Bears are gonna
be vindicated for picking him. I think he's got a
great future ahead of him. I like what he's doing.
Be the next Michael Vick or no, that's not a
got a lot of work to do on that accuracy
with Justin Fields. Remember, now, you know Michael is a
(01:35:53):
good situation, but um, you know, I think that could
be a good thing for him to strive for, no
doubt about that. I absolutely love it. I mean, I
love what I'm seeing of him. He's fun. Um, he's
got a little attitude to him. He's a big dude.
I think people mistakenly think that Justin Fields is like
Kyler Sikes. He's a beast man. So I love it.
And and the Bears, you know, they're gonna get more
(01:36:15):
help this year. They're gonna have high draft pick. But
I'll tell you what, Arnie, they've got themselves their franchise quarterback.
But oh they're not exactly. Did you know if the
season were to end right now, do you know who
would have the first pick in the end of Well,
I mean, obviously the first pick would belong to the
Houston Texans right because it's terrible, But the Las Vegas
(01:36:37):
Raiders would be sitting at number two right now in
the NFL Draft. I almost wanted to just tank the
rest of the way, just just ended. I've done with that.
I'm tired of it. The the the Saints would actually
have the I'm sorry, the Eagles would actually have the
fourth pick in the draft right now if the season
ended today. Did you know that? Because they have the
(01:37:00):
ATS first round pick from last year, so right, no, yeah, yeah,
Peter King's pick to host the NFC championship. Yeah, New
Orleans and now would have to give up a top
five pick to Philly because they're stupid. All right. Hey,
there it is what we learned after Week ten of
the National Football League. Hit us up with yours at
(01:37:20):
a Stinking Genius one. I'm at Plank Show. You can
also find us at Fox Sports Radio. We'll get some
of yours in here next plus postgame audio right around
the corner as we come to you live from the
tire rack dot Com studios. It's Annie in Plank on
a Fox Football Sunday. We're coming to you live tonight
from the tire rack dot Com studio. So because I'm
a sucker for pain, aarn'tie. I watched the incredibly cringe
(01:37:42):
worthy Jeff Saturday locker room speech after they everybody gets yeah, Um,
here's the funny part. It's I'm laughing because I'm imagining
one of the dudes in the locker room hearing Saturday go. Man,
I'm just I'm so proud of you guys. He's like,
why is the ESPN guy telling us he's proud of
us right now? He didn't do anything, He didn't he
(01:38:02):
didn't do anything this week. All he did was he
elevated ad to be your coordinator. Congrat congrats Jeff Saturday.
And you played an awful football team. So there you go. Yeah,
I had a good see. I mean, everyone's like, how
cool is that? I literally never saw him turn his
microphone down where he said anything on his headset. I
(01:38:24):
think it was just listening in all game long, rightly
had a playlist in there somewhere or stupid stupid Raiders.
Why do you do this to me? Um, and then
to grind it even worse, you make the Dolphins amazing
this year? Well done, Well done, football gods. I have
a couple of good after week tens to share with us.
You want to get get after you on Twitter because
(01:38:46):
it was a looking good for the Dolphins where there
were three and three that's for sure a lot better
than two and seven. Um after a week ten of
the National Football League season. I know this. Can you
lease ask Plank this question because he'll get peeved at
me if I do. It's time to hold Josh Allen
accountable for his horrendous red zone turnovers and no you
(01:39:10):
see al excuses he's been awful with doing this crap.
It's from Darryl. There are wondering if people are attacking
Josh Allen like we are or they're kind of giving
him a pass because the Bill is still one of
the favorites in the a f C. I haven't figured
it out yet. I think we've spent a lot of
(01:39:31):
the show tonight questioning his red zone decisions, But I mean,
what are you gonna do? It's kind of who he is.
I used the term yellow throws. You see those all
the time, But that's who he is and that's who
he's been. I blame some of their play calling to Auntie.
They just it's okay to run the football, it's okay
to have someone try to do something for your offense
(01:39:52):
outside of Josh Allen, I don't know. I I guess
I'm confused because, Okay, he's making mistakes. Still a good
football teams still have a good roster. Von Miller is
still a freak um and I don't necessarily think they're
any less of a at least championship game contender today
than they were earlier this year. The thing that might
hurt him more than anything else, Arnie, is how good
(01:40:14):
Miami is and how good the Jets are. That's a
much tougher division. I think from top to bottom, the
people in vision and there, and they really do lose
close games. Yeah, we're not started a couple of weeks ago.
We're like, whoa, when it's within seven. Um, they're there
when law's percentage that very good is obviously when they're
blowling teams out. Mr Nobody writes, I know this. Green
(01:40:34):
Bay should send Dallas a thank you card for the gift.
Same for Miami. They should send one to Buffalo for
getting them the a f C East lead. And one
more I know this, Josh McDaniels is not getting fired.
Are not being fired? Proves I was right about Mark
Davis being an idiot al right. First of all, Mark
Davis isn't an idiot. Secondly, just sometimes personalities don't mesh.
(01:40:59):
I mean, I I don't want to spend too much
more time on the Raiders, but it's it's not working.
There's a disconnect there, and I don't know if the
fixes to fire a coach after eight games or just
to say what Mark Davis has said, which is he's
the coach and he's gonna be the coach for a
long time. That to me is choosing your coach and
your GM over that that locker room right now. And
(01:41:19):
I don't think it's sitting well now. I would say
too about the kid hire Gruden back? How great would
that be of a story? Can I tell you something? Yes,
Mark Davis would do it in a heartbeat. Stop no, kid,
you not Raider fans tell him. Mark Davis would hire
back John Gruden in a heartbeat. I think he's still
mad at the NFL that they made him fire. What
(01:41:40):
what did you make? Is Mr? Nobody onto? Something about
green Bay sending a thank you card to Dallas? Is
that more about Dallas giving that game away our green
Bay winning it? I think it was more about Green
Bay winning. It wasn't it. I mean, yeah, it was um,
but let's give the Packers credit. Who was it Watson?
Is that the receiver? Yep, Christian Watson? Oh my good is?
I guess? Well, Rogers better not saying a damn thing
(01:42:04):
about him anymore, you know what I'm saying. Uh. You
know it's sure. You can have your you know, your
pains going through the year and have your drops, but
you gotta go back to the guy. He looked fantastic
and that was that was more. I mean, when they
got that long touchdown to make a twenty one, you
knew they were right back in the game. Once they
held Dallas, they got the ball back, you knew they
were going to die it up. Uh, we got time
(01:42:24):
for a few more. We do Pete rights. After a
week ten of the NFL season, I know this. The
Bills are pretenders. The defense couldn't stop Kirk Cousins. How
are you going to stop my homes or to Uh?
Once again, the Bills will miss it by that much. Ps.
The Raiders will lose to the Steelers on Christmas Eve. Well,
(01:42:45):
I mean, I don't know if you've been paying attention,
but the Raiders are pretty much losing to everybody, So congratulations,
Kenny Pickett will probably throw for three hundred yards. Bad game.
Are you as down on Buffalo's Pete's Um No, I'm
not as down on Buffalo, because I mean, they're still
gonna go ahead and make the playoffs. But I thought
there would be a little bit of a better team
than they are now. I didn't think they'd be like
(01:43:06):
a third place team. I though would be Miami and
uh and Buffalo one two on that. By by the way,
um No, it just when he was, you know, writing
in the last one, you were reading in Pete, Yeah,
Pezza out there the Raiders. You still don't think they
have any chance whatsoever to maybe finished ten and seven
and none at all. They're effing terrible. I'm lucky having
(01:43:29):
cussed tonight. Um John Ramos and I have talked during breaks.
He's warned me, he says, listen, I the dumb button.
I'm worried. All right, you watch yourself tonight. You gave
me that little pep talk. So I want to cuss
about how bad they are, Arenie, there's listen. The Texans
are bad. The Raiders are the worst team in the
NFL right now, they're the worst, So you don't get
(01:43:50):
to celebrate wins over them. You don't get to talk trash.
In fact, if I was Kansas City, I might have
fired Andy Reid for eating having the Raiders in position
to win that game up of weeks ago. They're terrible
and no one should take a win over them. Seriously
for anything. We clear now as soon as they now,
as soon as they win next week, look out, look
(01:44:11):
out now listen they want to day or any They
got four winnable games out of him seven and seven,
look out. I mean, all it takes is like one
decent performance to turn me. But right now I'm pretty dejected.
But guests, who isn't Steve the seger ladies and gentlemen,
who was in one more time tonight to get us
caught up on everything in the world of sports. What's up, Steve?
You mentioned trying to stop Patrick Mahomes. He had four
(01:44:31):
touchdown passes today. He's had at least four t d
passes in almost a quarter of his games in his career.
That is, by far, at the best percentage in that
category in NFL history. Chiefs were up twenty to nothing
late first half, beat Jacksonville seven seventeen Kansas City seven
and two, and they'll be at the Chargers next Sunday night.
(01:44:52):
That was flexed in instead of having the Steelers next
Sunday night. Steelers did win today at home, by the way,
of course, it was against New Orleans, but a W
is a W ten points in the fourth quarter twenty
to ten the final. The winning quarterback Kenny Pickett was
sacked six times. Saints as a team fifteen carries twenty
nine yards and the talk about the turnovers from Josh Allen.
(01:45:13):
They blew a lead lost at home in overtime to
Minnesota thirty three thirty. If you look at the interceptions
leaders so far among NFL quarterbacks this season, Kenny Pickett's
on the list. Andy Dalton, Matt Ryan has nine interceptions thrown,
Davis Mills nine. Josh Allen now has ten interceptions throne
that leads the league. The Buffalo Bills had a lead
(01:45:34):
against Minnesota of late third quarter and the Vikings take
it in bizarre fashion to even get the overtime thirty
three thirty. The final. Kirk Cousins over three and or
fifty yards passing. He was sacked four times. But even
being stopped by that late quarterback sneak in regulation, they
come up with the w justin Jefferson ten catches a
(01:45:54):
hundred ninety three yards and a touchdown. Tennessee trailed ten
nothing just before or half, but still beat Denver seventeen
to ten. Broncos are three and six. Russell Wilson was
sacked six times. There were combined seventeen punts in this game.
By the way, Jerry Judy left with an ankle injury.
Tennessee the winning side thirteen drives, only fourteen first downs.
(01:46:15):
Derrick Henry was held about fifty yards rushing. Denver loses.
I have seen that apparently the Raiders are underdogs at
Denver next year. Joshi from a p in the Bay
Area that Josh McDaniels ties Dennis Allen for worst winning
percentage by a Raiders coach since the Davis family took
over the team. But I mean he's not a very
(01:46:39):
good coach. I mean Dennis Allen. I guess Josh McDaniels
has been terrible with two teams now too, But yeah, well,
not good. And remember all the losses that McDaniels had
with Denver. That was after a six and oh start,
as I recall, and it was one l after another.
The Raiders record this year is two and seven. They
lost at home to Indianapolis to a coach that had
(01:47:00):
never been a head coach before at pro or college level.
Like we've covered this tonight, Steve, I mean, I'm getting
the bleach out to drink during this segment. I feel
like everyone knows what happened here tonight, leading to this
sentence though, that coach made the decision to start Matt
Ryan at quarterback, and Ryan had a touchdown run and
the touchdown pass with about five minutes to go to
(01:47:21):
get the lead. Jonathan Taylor almost a hundred fifty yards rushing,
including a sixty six yard TV. The green Bay win
over Dallas was in overtime Aaron Rodgers three touchdown passes
to Christian Watson two and the fourth quarter. In fact,
Watson only had four catches the whole game, hundred seven
yards though and a w green Bay hosts this week's
Thursday game against Tennessee next Sunday. Dallas, now six and three,
(01:47:44):
will play at Minnesota Arizona one in l A against
the Rams seventeen and Kyler Murray was out with a
bad hamstring. The Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was out with
a concussion. John Woolford played, had two turnovers, and Rams
wide receiver Cooper Cup left with an ankle injury. Arizona
led seventeen three at the half. Rams have lost three
in a row. They are three and six. Arizona tight
(01:48:07):
end zach or Its left with a knee injury. M R. I.
On Monday, the Forts win Tonight was in a comeback
sixteen over the Chargers did not allow that l a
team a point in the second half. In fact, Charger
running backs Tonight eleven carries twenty nine yards, each team's
kicker three for three on field goals. The Miami Dolphins
have won four in a row. They're up to seven
(01:48:27):
and three. They ripped Cleveland thirty nine seventeen, and the
Dolphins are a half game. I had a Buffalo and
the Jets into division. Miami's on a by next week two.
I had three touchdown passes. Miami at home is four
and one. And how about Jeff Wilson at running back
seventeen a hundred nineteen yards and a touchdown. Detroit wins
thirty one thirty at Chicago on a touchdown with about
(01:48:48):
two minutes left because Chicago missed an extra point kick
with about nine minutes left, and Justin Fields had four
total touchdowns almost a hundred fifty yards rushing, but through
a pick six with about ten minutes to Chicago three
and seven Giants seven and two. Somehow, se kwon Barkley
thirty five carries a hundred fifty two yards and a
(01:49:09):
short TV to beat Houston sixteen, and the game in
Munich was Tampa Bay beating Seattle. It was four quarter
Bucks sixteen the final Tom Brady two touchdown passes. The
Bucks and Seahawks are each off next week. By the way,
for Seattle, Kenneth Walker ten carries just seventeen yards. US
women's soccer had lost three in a row, but beat
(01:49:29):
Germany two to one to end up there year. It
was an exhibition in New Jersey. They had lost to
Germany on a late goal on Thursday night in Florida,
and the US women had actually lost back to back
games in Europe last month exhibitions, so they had lost
three straight for the first time since until today. In
(01:49:50):
the NHL, Boston Bruins fourteen and two, they beat Vancouver
five to two one two college basketball games of note,
Texas Southern beat Arizona State in overtime on a late tip,
and of course a s U is no Arizona as
we all know. Of course that's true. And Colorado trailed
at the half but still one at number eleven, Tennessee
seventy eight to sixty six. This Colorado team that just
(01:50:11):
lost at Grambling. Friday night, Lakers beat Brooklyn without Lebron,
Sacramento beat Golden State, and Philadelphia edge Utah's Joel and
beat scored fifty nine points. Back to you, thanks, Steve.
Have a great week, buddy, as we come to you
live from the tire rack dot Com Studios with Arnie
span Your I'm Chris Plank. All right, uh wait wait,
can I just say one think there was somebody who
did something today that if I was the head coach, um,
(01:50:35):
forget about finding him or cut him. I I really
think I would have grabbed him by the face mask
and beat his backside in the injury tent. I would
have say, in the injury tent, right now, you and
I and we're throwing punches. Do you know how much
room isn't in those injury tents that would be really
hard to do. So, by the way, before you say it,
I imagine you walking over there and just like pulling
(01:50:56):
the medical table out of there, like all right, this
is our octagon. Let's go Who would you? Who would
you fight? Who made you mad? Today? Justin Jefferson with
the fake ham string? I go, if you ever did
that again, and give me a heart attack? Which fake
ham string? You? And I gotta be read? Did you
see that celebration? Yeah? Yeah, the announcers thought it was
a real I knew it was kind of fake when
(01:51:17):
I saw it, but the announce like, hey, he's hard, way,
we gotta go to a conversion, will be right back.
He's hurt, he's hurt. Shut off down they were. They
were worried about it, and I don't know if they
he would have been really good to get them in
on the bit too. In my next celebration, I'm gonna
do this. Hey, speaking of announcers, I had something really
weird happened yesterday and it kind of blew my mind
(01:51:40):
a bit. Not me personally, but I was in Morgantown,
beautiful weather. You guys had there yesterday? Um yeah, great game,
oh awesome, amazing speaking of great games. So Adam Alexander
is he's a Fox guy, right, He's a big NASCAR guy.
He's one of my favorites. And he was calling the game.
So I don't do us off and right. But I
(01:52:00):
was like, you know what, I'm gonna go find him
and I'm gonna go introduce myself and yeah, listen, we
don't talk Nascar, but maybe say hey, we can get
you on the show. Whatever. I walked around that whole
press box, I'm going up and downstairs. I'm like, where
this is Fox? Right, where's Fox broadcast crew? So I
finally asked someone like, oh, they're remote today. I was like, oh,
I didn't know that was still a thing, right, So
(01:52:24):
I think maybe next time, so they still have'm doing
a remote broadcast, Artie, I didn't get home. I turn
on the game later that night and guests, who's calling
that game too? Adam Alexander, Artie. They had the same
broadcast crew called two different games on Fox yesterday. Could
you imagine if they did that in the NFL? How
fans would lose their minds? If you had the same
(01:52:45):
guy called two different games on the same day, people
would freak out. Really, you think it would bother. I
think they would enjoy it a little bit more called remote,
just called my whole bunch of games. I think they
would love that. First of all, you can't be remote
and have success calling a broadcast. That's it is dumb.
Stop get them, get him on site, peeps, Come on
number two. Maybe you're right, Maybe just have Joe and Troy.
(01:53:07):
It's like, all right, you're gonna do both these games today. Sorry,
James loft In or Adam rch Aletta, no soup for
you today. Troy Aikman is calling both of these games.
Would you think Joe and Troy and not that I
have anything with Andrew Ceciliano and the guys, but would
they be good at red zone? Uh? Calling the red
(01:53:28):
zone channel or what? I don't think so, I don't think.
I don't think so. No, no, no, I I think
the red zone is not just I think they're good
at kind of diving into a game right one game.
I think when you start getting multiple games, I think
that's a skill. I think we have two guys that
do a red zone that we're born to do red
zone Scott Hanson and Andrew Ceciliano. Now does Andrew get
(01:53:51):
a little talking MC Talkerson when they're on the double box. Yes,
I could use the game audio, but he's amazing, So
that's a good question. That's a good question. Aired aired
some silence on Scott Hansen's one's broadcast today, so I
figured he was probably running to the bathroom or something
like that, and I was like, oh my gosh, when
do you pete? How do you do this? I'm like, well,
(01:54:11):
they stayed on one game for a while. I mean,
it's not really like this crazy thing you have to do.
You're not going to pee for like ten days or
something in there. If I had the runs of the bathroom,
let's say, like for a minute now, couldn't you just
talk for a minute. They can't. They have like a
backup person for like a minute or two while something.
That would be great. I've been at some places where
they wouldn't let you work on the board for like
(01:54:33):
a full two hours. So just get that filling host
to come in for a little. I don't know how
we got on this path, but it's your fault. So
when we come back, we'll hit the best of your
tweets today. Plus it's what you all came for. Arnie's
picks or next on Fox Sports Radio. Let's put a
wrap on this, Arnie and Plank on a Fox Football
Sunday Thanks. Ramo's great job tonight. Oh You're welcome, Chris
(01:54:53):
and Arnie anytime. I'm sure you signed. Let me work
extra hours on Sunday night until the wee hours of
the morning. That's what I say. I say, you know what,
get me in? Five days aren't enough? Give me that six,
Pope Binson, great job producing. If you missed a Todd
fermanutes on the podcast at Fox Sports Radio dot com,
(01:55:14):
slash podcast or wait what am I saying? Fox Sports
Radio dot com and you can find the weekend podcast
or search Fox Sports Weekends. However you consume podcast. Who
am I leaving out to Seger? Awesome as always? And
I still can't get enough of the Vikings play by
play call of the fumble of the end zone. We'll
play to wrap things up, but first ye take it
(01:55:36):
away staking genius. Let's get at it. Give me a
little music, put me in the mood ra most because
um not a not a pretty good weekend. Actually, I
was one on one and ninety three. I went four
and three in college five and doing the NFL. That's
nine and five for the week. I'm one ten and
ninety eight, which is fifty three percent. Quite a bounce back.
(01:55:58):
That is a damn good bounce. I'm gonna take Michigan,
lay the seventeen and a half against Illinois. The Wolverines
on a roll. Much better than go ahead and lay
the number there. Give me Kansas plus the nine against Texas.
That's just too big of a number there. I wouldn't
take South Carolina plus the twenty one and a half
against Tennessee too many points. And give me my Bruins,
(01:56:20):
who just lost to my Wildcats. Um plus the two
and a half against USC over in the NFL, I'll
take Green Bay. I'll stick on their bandwagon now. I'll
lay the two and a half against the Titans. Give
me the Bills to bounce back in a big way.
I'll lay the nine against the Cleveland Browns. I'm gonna
actually take the Patriots for the first time in my
(01:56:41):
life minus the four against the Jets. And of course
I'm betting against the Cowboys. I think it is all
downhill after what happened, you know what I mean? How
do you go ahead and bounce back from something like that, Chris,
I really, I really think, what what was that record?
One three? And oh that's insane one fifty nine and
(01:57:06):
oh when you're leading by double digits. Um, I'm gonna
take the Vikings plus two in that one against the Cowboys.
And I'm gonna take a team USA against Wales in
the World Cup without knowing anything about either team. So
there you go. There you have by picks no longer
strictly for entertainment purposes only. And then this is where
(01:57:28):
I remind you that Arnie could put his money behind
his picks, but doesn't drive the twenty miles to where
he could legally? Wait, why can actually take a ferry?
So I don't have to even drive that far? I
could do it? Do it? Um. A couple of quick
tweets here, I like this from Young Poppy. All Right,
you guys keep dogging on the Giants, but as long
(01:57:48):
as they have a healthy Sa Kuan Barkley, they have
a chance of beating any team in the league. What
show was he listening to where I'm like where I
said that there were Bernis picked maybe from where it's
the first and that you know Sa Kwan Barkley's back.
I don't know what show he's listening to. I have
no idea me neither. I feel like we've been very
(01:58:09):
complimentary and yeah, you're not gonna beat anyone with just
a say kwan, you better be happy. Daniel Jones is
completing some passes in that defense is stout. Oh, I
want to play this before we go. Uh. It's one
of the greatest calls I've ever heard because of the confusion,
the chaos and the ultimate joy. And Davis was behind
Alan and he tried to push him. He didn't get
(01:58:29):
out of there. He didn't get out. He did dush
get out. That's a safety. Give it to us, yes,
even gonna yes, drop that fall. Josh alben Vlkos, I
have no idea what to give us. Something, to give
me a safety, give me something. I need something. We
need to win this game. That was the legend. Paul
(01:58:51):
Allen on the Vikings the radio network, on that wild
play at the end of the course. In the end,
in the end, they did get to win one back
to pass in the pocket to the end zone. Yes,
Patrick Peterson hides floods down kings our right and one game.
(01:59:13):
We're still having fun righting one and they come to
Buffalo and they walk off on Stefen Diggs and the Bills. WHOA.
I didn't realize that this was the Stefon Diggs revenge
game for the Vikings, but here we are. So there
was arguably the game of the day and at least
(01:59:33):
the moment of the day. Are you buying stock in
the Vikings right now? Weeks ago? Stop and I just say,
it's the boss's team and you want to make him
happy to your team too. By the way, Colin rights
Hot Sports take bet for the offseason, Bills fire Sean
McDermott and hire Frank Reich. I like that. One big
(01:59:54):
bit coming up next for Fox
