Speaker 1 (00:02):
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Let's go, stinking Jazz, go, big boy, let's go. Let's go.
Are you okay? Because Team USA one, I know you're
anti American and one and everyone.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
I'm the only won that root so hard for Team USA.
Everybody else like, ah, yeah, who cares, blah blah blah.
It's all of the Olympics.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I mean, they win games and you still want guys fired.
I don't, I know.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
I was everybody.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
I got so many tweets and texts about you were
right about Joel Embiid. You called that one right, Yes
I did, Yes, I did.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
That to me, and I don't think anyone texted you
to say that Joel Embiid's career is over.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Oh I did. I did. Actually, I had.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Out of the quarter of a billion that listens to
the show, I had one one I did.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
I'm serious.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
What's it from your burner account?

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Don't make me go find it because we have already
a lot of tweets before even the show began.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
But yeah, I did have one.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
And as you call that one about Joel embian I'm like, oh, yes,
I did, Yes, I did.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
That's oh, I'm going through it. We'll see I got
it right.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Right after the after I yelled get him out of
the game for crying out loud, get him out of
the game.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
But here's my here's my point. They still won. They
were dominant. Kevin Durant, who I didn't realize this is
the most decorated Olympic basketball athlete period, had no idea.
I kind of always thought Hoody Mellow was that guy.
But he looked amazing. The US won one four, and
the only text you send me is he's terrible. He's

(01:39):
never gonna be any good anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
That was real time, though. I said that real time
when we were losing, and I'm like, you gotta get
Joel and Bean out.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Of the game. He's killing us.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I mean when you're texting me during church. I kind
of put the phone away for a while since the
game's being played. Which, by the way, as we come
to you live from the ti iraq dot com studios
on this Sunday night, 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.
T irack dot com The way tired buying should be.

(02:09):
I thought I wouldn't like the schedule. I thought i'd
complain because everything was tape delayed, and well, let me
rephrase that. Everything is lied during the day and there's
some super early stuff, right. But I've kind of enjoyed it.
I'm not gonna lie. I like watching what I want
to watch during the day and then having a full
primetime recap of it. That puts it in a nice,

(02:29):
little digestible nugget for me the rest of the y.
I like this timing of the Olympics.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
No, I love it, you know. I First of all,
I watched the Gold Channel. I got all panicky because
I didn't know if I had peacock. I tried to
get it on my phone. I couldn't get it. Tried
to get it on the TV upstairs, I couldn't get it.
Went down to my man cave. Thank god I had
it there as I was in a full fledged paddock.
I go, how am I gonna get football? How am
I gonna get football? Saw the Gold Channel. Was impressed

(02:55):
with that, And then when I go to my phone,
you just hit on the thing where the Olympics are
and it tells you what channel to go through, depending
on what event you want to go ahead and see. Yeah,
so it's very easy. It's been fun. I've been totally
watching a lot of the Olympics. I've been enjoying it.
I don't know what's live, what's taped. I I'm not
paying attention to who wins or not but or not,

(03:18):
but I've I've enjoyed it.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
I've been having a good time watching.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I think the swimming has been fun. What they say
the first time since the two thousand Olympics that the
swimming golds for the four by one hundred relay were
on the first night.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
I heard I heard Amy van Dykin. Is that who's
on the swimming talking about that? And who used to
work right here at Fox Sports Radio, who used to
do a show. And unless I heard her wrong, she goes, yeah,
they're not cleanly shaven, but tonight they will be.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Because are you telling me, like stubble slows you down
like a fraction of a second and when you're racing
in water? Is that what we've come now? Chris?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Is that what I think? After every did you see
what the difference was in the breaststroke final? They tied
for the freaking silver medal? They tied, They tied for
the silver medal would have won. Maybe he should. I'm
telling you right now, it's just are you doubting the
expertise of Amy van Dyking? You sound like it.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Well, a little razor stubble, come on.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Now, clean shaven arny makes all the difference in the world.
I guess I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
I guess that's why we never see anybody would go
tease the racing.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
I guess I haven't ever seen a bearded Olympic champion.
Now Mark Smith's had a mustache. That's true, that is true,
Yes he did. Maybe why I love the I love
the guy that's on the You brought up Amy van
Dyke and Moo's rowdy gains. Oh yeah, this guy's fantastic. Uh.
And and he's he's laying out after they just had

(04:52):
this incredible finish in the breaststroke where uh the American.
They show this video piece before the American wins silver.
And it's like I wake up every day at five
ten am, and he's got a job and everything is
like segmented by almost He's got an alarm that goes
off at two ten and at three point thirty, where
he's just he's doing his job and everything and after

(05:15):
they finish and it's this incredible finish out of games goes.
I mean it couldn't have been run an he's slower,
they will be the time, and none of them had
a great time. I gotta be honest with you. I
didn't know how in I would be. I didn't care
for I'm not I've never been a big opening ceremony guy, so.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
I wasn't crazy about the opening. So don't care, don't care,
don't matter to me.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, I want to watch the events, and I'm with you, Arnie,
I've been in. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like the stories,
I like the angles, and we're kind of just in
a lot of ways getting started right. We still have
the team gymnastics to come. Even though I gotta be
honest with you, he's speaking of watching things that I'll
watch them so you guys don't have to. They painfully

(06:01):
kept showing the French women's gymnastics team. Have they ever
performed before? I mean I felt terrible for them. Yeah,
girls fall in, you got people tumble it all over
the place. They're crying in the middle of the whole event.
It's just it was painful to watch and they kept
showing it. I was like, can they cut away to
like a law and order here or something to save
these people?

Speaker 3 (06:20):
I'm with you, Oh you didn't see that.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I'm surprised you did, and it was right before all
the primetime stuff that they showed. But no, man, I'm
thoroughly enjoying it. I'm as somebody who didn't have a
lot of excitement coming in, as somebody who probably cared
most about, say basketball and a little bit of soccer
and track and field. I've been in on everything. Man.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Great, let me ask you now.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Of course, when you're watching swimming and stuff like that,
you don't know where. I mean, everybody's from a different
country all eight lanes. And to that matter, are you
watching like basketball even if it doesn't involve the United States.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
I watched the Canadian game this morning. I get yeah, yeah.
To the soccer.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
I've been watching some of that, some of the women's soccer,
So even if it's not Team USA, I've been tuning
on and just to check it out.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
That's how much of it. Enjoying it now.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
As we go forward, I would imagine that's gonna be
the case for me. But kind of early here already
I'm getting my feet wet when it comes to the
Olympic coverage. I was surprised, though, speaking of feet wet,
apologized for this horrible, horrible kind of tie. But in
watching the swimming, I was blown away that we're giving
away what seems to be the marque event, the men's

(07:31):
four by one hundred. I mean, it's the opening night.
Whenever they're giving it aways, Like what, all right, let's go,
let's start with a bang with this whole thing. You
don't sound like someone that's been into the swimming.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Though, as much as I know that doesn't die, I
didn't even give that a second thought. Chris, if you
didn't bring it up, it never would have You.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Know, you had no idea that swimming was going on.
To this, mister, I knew it was going on.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
I just didn't think like, oh, you know, starting with
a big bang or anything.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
I'm like, hey, let's get going, and it's day one.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
I expected it to be, you know, hey, day one,
let's let's get it on.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Was that you only know about the lack of stubble,
but you don't realize the historical perspective of this being
twenty four.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Comd Man the lack of stubble. What are you that's
incredit that's insane.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Well, I will say that Arnie Spaniard did have in
Roman numeral number one tonight Team USA. And actually let's
go ahead and give a little perspective. Yeah, the rundown
again was sent twelve hours before the show starts, So
Roman numeral one was Team USA with nothing as far
as a.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Sub letter or number, nothing nothing.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
So now after the one ten eighty four went over
Serbia where Katie was amazing twenty three points in seventeen minutes,
five threes, where if you look at the box score,
there's some this Mabbi's people that weren't playing. But what
was your big takeaway? How you feeling about things going forward? Now?
For Team USA?

Speaker 4 (08:54):
Didn't like things early of course with Kevin Duran came in,
he was on fire. He's never but you're not gonna
do that again. The guy hits five to three points.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
It's kind of consistently in the Olympics.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Now, No, no, I'm just saying, like five for five
from three point range.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
I mean we shot our three point shooting today was
just outrageous.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
It was like fifty six percent. I don't know, how
many times we're gonna end up doing that again.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
But we were.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
We were just on fire. We got down early. I
was a little bit nervous. I'm like, oh, come on, man,
we're gonna have Yoki be one of those score like
fifty six points against US and.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
And lose to Serbia. We were thirteen to that point favorite.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
But you know, after going back and forth in the
first we pulled away the rest of the game, up
by nine and a half time. Lebron was great, Kevin
Durant was great, Booker was great. We flexed her muscle.
We did what we were supposed to do. I'm curious
what's gonna happen when we have to play some of the.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Better teams on that It's damn good, dude.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yeah, well, jeez, not compared to some of the other
teams that we struggled with so far, right.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
But those were in exhibitions as well, right prime time.
I'm surprised they got one of the best players in
the NBA on their No I know to other NBA
guys and you're gonna say, well, when they start playing
the better.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Teams, yeah, I did. A matter of fact, who who's
was second? Is it Canada, or am I wrong on that?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
You mean another team that they beat in an exhibition?

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah right, they beat that, Yeah right. But no, I
enjoyed it. It was a it was a good win.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
It was a way to go ahead and get the
I'm surprised Tatum didn't play, you know, Steve Kurtz said,
it feels like a jerk not played him. I don't
understand what kind of rotation he's looking at, or you know,
why he can't play Tatum or anything to that matter.
But you know, here's a guy that just won a
championship and he's not good enough to play for US
in the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
It seems kind of crazy to me.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Well, who you gonna take out?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, I mean, well, you can't get him in the
rotation at all. I guess I guess you could. He
said you could only really play Tens. I I can
see what he means by that, though, And Kerr said, you.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Know, I'm a moron. I I my bad. I'm sure
he'll play a lot aga in South Sudan coming up
on what's a Wednesday whenever they play at two o'clock
three Eastern. But one thought coming away from that today
I've listened to a lot of Fox Sports Radio because
this is my sports fix, Arnie during the evenings and

(11:13):
throughout the weekends, and I remember leading up to the Olympics,
there was a lot of why is Lebron here? It's
just let's pass the towards let's get these younger guys
more opportunities. Why is kd here? He's hurt? By gods,
you better thank your lucky stars that Lebron's here, because
from the moment that they started playing exhibitions, Arnie, it's
amazing to think a thirty nine year old is the

(11:36):
best player on the team. But that's what he's been now.
Is that concerning for you or is it like it
makes me mad? As a Lakers say, I'm like, well,
the hell is this during the season? I'm all about
I'm all about America. But man, you could shoot threes
like that during the regular season. We might not be
playing in a playing game right now as Laker fans,
but you matter think you're lucky stars that Lebron's on

(11:56):
this team and not sitting out like you did four
years ago. Because he's been the best player on both
teams in every game that they played so far.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
No, I expected that from him.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
I mean that expect from him. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
I didn't coming into this, and I didn't know Kevin
Durant was gonna get hurt.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
So it was either gonna be him or KD.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
But I was I expected him to be r leader
to if we were down by one, he was gonna
go full court and bully ball somebody and make a
lay up or make a shot, or take the jumper
or do any of that that he was going to
be the man.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Sure, any of the guys.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
You Curry could shoot, or you know, any of the
other guys could shoot from outside. I'm not gonna take
away from from anybody, but yeah, I would want Lebron
driving to the bucket down by one with five seconds
left before anybody else.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Right now, Well, I will I won't disagree with you.
I mean, he's been amazing so far, not just since
the start of What I guess you would say is
is exhibition play into the actual Olympics, and we'll see
Wednesday what lessons they learn from their exhibition? What is
is that have they done? I've then've been putting that
live on NBC, right, you got to kind of find

(13:02):
a channel. It's like Usa. I think has been doing
all that.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
No, today was on NBC.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Today was on NBC. Okay, Like I said, I was
trying to go to church, Arnie, when you're texting me
Joel and bed takes because of am things on at
ten am Central time in the morning. Hey, when we
come back to the tiraq dot com studios, let's cut
clean from the Olympic talk. But if you guys want
to dive into it, the best way to get in
touch with us is on x Slash Twitter. You can

(13:28):
find Arnie and Stinking Genius one. I'm at Plank Show.
Everybody should go follow us at Fox Sports Radio. Olympic excitement.
Things that have stood out, things now that you're looking
forward to. Are you like me where you didn't expect
to be in and now you're in, or maybe did
you have an idea that, hey, I want to be in.
I'm gonna watch this and you're not watching as much
as you thought.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
You would And you didn't get the Roman numeral two
subsection five?

Speaker 2 (13:53):
What's that?

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Which is that if you could play one of those
obscure sports and go to the Olympics, which one would
it be. I thought that was a pretty good like
pole question. Did you not think that was a good one?

Speaker 2 (14:04):
No, I just you know, we're up against the break.
We got a three hour show.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
I was, I know that, but you know, it was
a good time for me to tell the story how
I used to play water polo in college and stuff
like that.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
There's no way on God's green earth you ever played
water polo competitively?

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah? I did in college. What kind of Yeah, I
don't believe you, and we'll I'll tell you the truth.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
I don't think you're telling there's Have you watched water polo?
You would drown if you played.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well, I didn't play varsity, Okay, I played.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
You Notice how you get to the story you get No,
I didn't play varsity.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
It was like you know, uh, we're like the fraternities
played against each other and ours was inner tube water polo.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Well, that's the same thing. It's the same thing as polo,
except you're on inner two. What's the difference. It's just
as streuous.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
I mean, absolutely the same thing. We'll talk about it
next right here. Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 6 (15:23):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called

Speaker 2 (16:17):
All right, it's Arny and playing comedy live from the
tyrack dot com studios, Mary running the show. Coop, did
you notice that, Arnie you were allowing a member of
the Well, I don't know if Coop would be considered
a member of the mallor militia kind of.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Did you hear the big news about being Ben Maller?

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Have not?

Speaker 3 (16:34):
He's coming out to visit me. Oh really, yes?

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Awesome?

Speaker 3 (16:41):
You thick? I'm liing to you. I just you're just
like you don't know what to say when I say that.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
I mean, I thought you'd have more to it. I mean,
I didn't know that you and Ben were tight enough
to where he would want to spend time with you
in Vermont. But that's cool.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Well, his wife has never been the Vermont.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
So he was texting me a couple of days ago,
like his hotel's gonna be four tenths of a mile
from me.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
So I told him that's.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Kind of are you make it.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
I don't know if I could make it, but I'm
gonna try. I'm aout you gonna try.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
And no, actually, if he I'm looking forward to him
coming up. I can't wait.

Speaker 7 (17:14):
That's funny because I feel like I remember a recent
story where Ben said that he texted you and you said,
who is this?

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yes, I did say that. I did say that because
I didn't know who it was.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
I did have his phone number saved in might thing. Yes,
that was many years ago. But he's coming back out
and this time he said. This time when he texted me,
he goes, hey, this.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Is Ben Ben Maller, and I'm like, Ben Maller, but
oh yeah, yeah, I know that guy. So I immediately
it came back to me.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Isn't there usually around Ben's trips don't we get a
like a get together of the mallor militia coop? I mean,
is there an event and Vermono mean, I'm sure members
of the militia would love to meet Arnie too. I mean,
can we get an event together up there?

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Pustly?

Speaker 7 (18:00):
I mean, I haven't heard anything about that about this trip,
but we do have a we have a Mallard meet
and greet coming up this weekend in Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yes, I'm surprised you're not there, Arnie. You're a big
Vegas guy. You always tell us how you're going. I mean,
what a great opportunity to meet some of your great fans.

Speaker 8 (18:17):
You think Arnie's gonna go to Vegas, Arnie's.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Barney's barely going to go to see Ben.

Speaker 8 (18:23):
I'm going to see him in the same Arnie who
drives like ten miles a week.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
That is correct, all right? JP JP on Twitter asks
a very good question. I mean it literally came in
ten seconds ago here. I can't believe he got through
the first segment without Arnie mentioning anything about to his
new contract. What roman numeral is it? I think it
was actually three, so I was trying to follow Arnie's

(18:47):
roman numeral rundown today.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Oh well, I just put it number twelve.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
But I actually actually you've got it under four with
the Miami Dolphins, and then you put everything with it
on number twelve. As far as the contracts are concerned,
why would this not be with as much dolphin propaganda
as you shoved down our throats on a Sunday basis
and a nightly basis. If you will. You wouldn't even
have this until you get to double digits in your rundown.

(19:13):
This is well, this is basically breaking news for this Maybe.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Maybe because you don't listen to what I have to say.
I told you this was going to happen. I told
you I would give him the money. I told you
that Dolphins were going to give them money. There was
there going to be any hold out or any shenanigans.
And look what I started a new trend, Chris. How
many times have I told you there's no longer holdouts,
there's hold ends. They go to camp because they don't
want to be fine and they just don't start this trend.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
I mean it's part of their new deal with the
with their new contract with.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
I started this trend. But we knew that too was
going to get the money. Somebody did send us a
tweet that said, with Tua and Jordan Love and I
believe if Dak gets his contract. You know, it was
like one point six billion hours. There's something for quarterbacks
that don't have a ring. So I want to see

(20:04):
who's going to break through, who's going to go ahead?
And he says, yeah, Burrow Herbert Love two and Hurts
getting it combined one point two five billion for.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Winning with no rings. So I wonder who'll break through
first and get that first ring there?

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Who would you pick? Well, you're gonna pick two. So
only know why I asked. But here's the thing, yeah,
only well, I don't know what the exact percentage is
of what two is number because obviously tyreek Kill wants
a new deal too.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Oh, they're going to give it to They're working on
that now, I saw that.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Right, So you're probably looking at what maybe fourteen to
fifteen percent of the salary cap on to his deal. Saying,
by the way, for all these quarterbacks, Burrow Burrows is higher,
Herbert's there Loves is about sixteen percent. Only one team
has won a Super Bowl with a quarterback taking fourteen
percent of its cap. Only one, and that's Patrick Mahomes.

(20:59):
So do we you're not getting the toothpases back in
the tube. You're not magically going to start paying quarterbacks
less money. But do we have a problem with the
amount of compensation for one position in one sport? Is
there an issue with quarterback contracts?

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Right? I thought we had to discuss that we were
going to have a special ain't happening. Was that not
in the news like about them?

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Not happened?

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Okay? Why is that?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Because they're not going to owners don't want it? Right,
the owners wanted it. The owners wanted it, but they're
not going to do it. You got the salary cap
and that's what it's going to be. And to have
a separate cap for a position seems kind of foolish
to me.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Well, at least it would take care of the problems
that you're stuck all the time where you have to
choose between your quarterback and a bunch of other people
on the team. There, So that would certainly take care
of that problem. I would think, hmmm, well you okay,
But still got to be smart. It makes it easy.
It's like a cheap code. Why we want to make
it a cheap code. Get out there and you live

(22:01):
within the confines of the salary cap and you make
it work, which, by the way, is still a ridiculously
large number for the overall salary cap. But your idea
to fix it is to say, oh, listen, let's just
bail everyone out.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Let's create this separate entity for a quarterback, and let's
put a cap on the amount of money you can
spend in.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
The position when we're having problems signing your best player,
which is usually the quarterback, because you're giving them too
much money and now you can't afford anybody else on
your other team. Isn't a slight problem there? You don't
see where.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
There's no Yeah, I mean it's a problem because you're
paying them so much money. Right, But how did this
problem get to this point? We just didn't magically start
paying quarterbacks this massive a percentage of the salary cap.
It kind of done blowed up in NASCAR terms over
the last ten to fifteen years. They've always been paid well,
don't get me wrong, but taking up fourteen to fifteen

(22:54):
percent of your cap instead of the bailout where the
owner's like, oh, let's get a potential quarterbacks outlly cap.
I mean, live within your confines, man, do you even
say it yourself? You've set and now you're changing because
the Dolphins have done it. But you'd take a young
quarterback on a rookie deal and build up the rest
of your roster. Before you'd spend on a quarterback.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
One hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
But now that we have a you know, start, now
your team's done it.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
Yeah, I'm not gonna go I'm not gonna, you know,
let that.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Get away from me. So no, I'm not gonna do that.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
You know, the last six Quarterbacks have featured a quarterback
on its cheap rookie deal. Well, the last quarterback to
what the oh my gosh, can you hear? Okay? Are
you sick tonight? Are you throwing up?

Speaker 3 (23:35):
It stops?

Speaker 2 (23:36):
The last six Super Bowls have featured quarterbacks on cheap
rookie deals, and the record for those quarterbacks is one
in five and the only quarterback to win is Mahomes
whenever they beat San Francisco. It's first time around. You
want to guess on those quarterbacks real quick? To six?

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Uh? Burrow?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Burrow's one hurts hurts is the other is one? Mahomes
is on here twice. So i'll give you that. I
don't think you'll get the other two, all right?

Speaker 3 (24:06):
What's the other two?

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Rock Purty? Which was this year? Okay?

Speaker 3 (24:10):
I would have thought about it, and.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Jared Goff with the Rams, right, so I was right,
What do you mean, Well.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
You'd rather go ahead and get those cheap quarterbacks and
you don't have to pay like all that.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Money, would you? How many times have they won.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Well, if you're good enough to get there, you're good
enough to win, Chris, you know.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
They're one in five, Arnie, they're one in five. They've
won one time. And the only dude that's done it
is the generational quarterback that we've been waiting for in
Patrick Mahomes, and unfortunately he's ended up in Kansas City.
So I don't necessarily know if what did the Rams
do right away when they got there with that quarterback
on a rookie deal. They got rid of that quarterback
after a couple of seasons, brought in another one and

(24:52):
won damn super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
And now they're too old. Now they're gonna go Now they're.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Not They might win, they might win their division.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Or you like them this year.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
I like the Rams a lot this year, even without
Aaron Donald, I like him a lot. But I also
like San Francisco too. I just wonder, I wonder if
there's a point where things start to kind of fall
back a little bit for San Francisco. But the point is,
you've now changed your opinion because the Dolphins have paid
a guy and you just have to admit you're scared.
Is you know what that your philosophy is going to

(25:20):
come back to bite you because to his contractors going
to implode Miami.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Yeah, but we're gonna be okay because they're gonna give
Tyreek hillmore money.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
So that how great is that he's a wide receiver
that's approaching thirty.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Yeah, but that's that's gonna be fine. So, but we
need him get we got We gotta have him back.
If we didn't have him back, we'd be in big trouble.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Uh at tyrack dot com Studios, that's ourn expand here
I'm Chris Blank. Well, I know Jaylen Waddle, that's that's
something to sneeze at too, I guess. But we're talking rookie,
we're talking quarterbacks, and obviously that rookie quarterback deal now
several teams having to pay the piper, so to speak.
Is it worth it? Would you have given Jordan Love
that money, would you have given Tua? Or would you

(26:01):
have tried to retool things and maybe end up making
a deal where you could get something out of them.
We'll get to your tweets and thoughts on it coming
up in just a bit. First, and finally, Steve de
Seger is in the house. He's got all the news
notes and tidbits. It's what's trending, what's going on?

Speaker 9 (26:15):
Steve, Hello, gentlemen, good to hear you're also enjoying the elements. Hey,
it's Arnie the water polo player.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Are you doing right?

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Because it's a lie.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Water polo in a mural game.

Speaker 9 (26:29):
So water polo. The toughest thing about it, aside from
you know, all the physical stuff that doesn't get cold
under the water, is you know, the treading water part
of water polo. So you didn't have to do any
of that.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
No, we didn't have to do Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 9 (26:44):
Actually Arnie signed up to play water polo because he
thought he'd get to ride a horse. Highly well always,
thank you very much. US men's basketball when it's Olympic
opener over Serbia one ten to eighty four. Kevin Durant
twenty three points in seventeen minutes off the bit. He
shot eight for eight from the floor in the first half.
Infect Lebron James and Durant combined to make their first

(27:06):
fourteen shots today, half of them from three point range. Eventually,
those two were the first US teammates to both score
over twenty points in an Olympic opener. Lebron James had
twenty one points. He had nine assists six turnovers in
this game. Turnovers still a problem for this team. Haven't
been together much, you know. But today's game overall was sensational.

(27:27):
Drew Holliday with fifteen points, Nikola Jokic twenty points and
eight assists in the loss, and no. Jason Tatum did
not play. Tyrese Halliburton did not play for the US.
South Sudan won its Olympic debut, beating Puerto Rico ninety
to seventy nine. The Americans play South Sudan on Wednesday,
then against Puerto Rico on Saturday. US women's soccer beat

(27:47):
up Germany four to one, Sophia Smith with two goals
in the first half after leaving last week's opening game
with a leg injury. The US with about sixty percent
of the possession today. Amazingly, today's match, March the first,
marks the five first time in almost a decade that
the US women were playing against a higher ranked opponent.
Because the US is down to number five in the

(28:08):
FAIF of World rankings, Germany is number four. Last time
such a thing happened, it was when number two US
beat number one Germany in a World Cup semifinal in
twenty fifteen. Some owned Biles posted the top score today
at the gymnastics all around, despite a calf injury. The
team final is Tuesday. The US leads the team event.

(28:29):
Battling for second are Italy, China and Brazil. In women swimming,
the US took gold and silver in the one hundred butterfly.
Francis Leon Marschaun dominated the men's four hundred am with
the US taking bronze. Carson Foster. In tennis, Coco Goff
won her first round singles match, as did the other
three American women and guys. Of course, with France hosting

(28:50):
the Olympics, the tennis competition is at Famed roll on Garros,
the clay courts where the French Open aois are and
Rafael Nadal is not retired yet. He had a single match,
barely winning his first rounder six ' to four in
the third.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Set of it. Wow. Yeah, he is.

Speaker 9 (29:05):
Still alive playing at Roland Garros today and so in
the second round Rafael Nadal will face Novak Djokovic tomorrow morning.
Two of the greatest players in the history of men's
tennis are playing at Roland Garros in an Olympic second
rounder tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Great your reference.

Speaker 9 (29:24):
This In the NFL, Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase did
not practice for a fourth straight day. He's not hurt.
Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is injured. Missed a fourth straight
practice with the straying calf. Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore
is out indefinitely due to blood clots. Dallas defensive end
Sam Williams suffered a torn acl and mcl Cowboys defensive

(29:46):
back garyan Conley says he's retiring. John Rahm took the
live golf event in the UK by one stroke, and
the Yankees won at Boston tonight eight to two. Aaron
Judge with an RBI single and two walks. He has
ninety six runs. Beat it in already. We still have
a few days left in July.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Back to you, you.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
Try water polo, Steve. You make it sound like it's
such an easy sport. You try it, My friend, the
sport you played is not water polo.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
You were sitting on.

Speaker 9 (30:12):
An inner tube.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
And it was an inner mirror.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
That is the only difference is we were on an
inner tube and the one in the Olympics, they didn't
have to be honest so much.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
My imagination is, does Arnie keep getting louder as the
show goes? This is not your message, okay. I just
wanted to make sure it's just see. I don't know
if it's confidence. I don't know if it's the blueberries
kicking in or whatever its pre show meal is, but
I'm here for it. You do know that, bright and
early tomorrow morning, Arnie. In fact, two and a half
hours after we wrap up our program here on Fox

(30:45):
Sports Radio, the ten I'm sorry, yeah, ten meter air
rifle shooting competition begins for the women. So if you
want to like pull an overnighter, like say Coop is,
that's the sport he would do then because it involves
no running, no running at all.

Speaker 9 (31:00):
What are you at all for? You are.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
At five am? You have diving and also you have
equestrian at five as.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
We used to do archery at camp ten years old.
They here's bows and arrows and just go shoot each other.
That what could go wrong?

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Right?

Speaker 8 (31:15):
They have bows and arrows in your day, dude.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, I mean that's all they had archery.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Yeah, here's bows and arrows and aim at the aim
at the bullseye. If not, don't shoot each other in
the eyeball.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Ben is very mad at you, he writes, aren't he?
Even male high school swimmers shave their legs and chests
to go and gain a competitive edge. Shaving off body
here is part of as part of competitive swimming.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Though, Yeah, that's a but you but stubble. Come on, now, stubble,
don't be ridiculous that that's that's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Why is it ridiculous?

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Come on, a little bit of stubble is not going
to slow you down?

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Again? Did you see how close the finish was in
the breast stroke?

Speaker 3 (31:57):
I did? Actually, yes, it was. Uh it is fifty
nine three fifty nine point five fifty.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
The only reason you know that is because Jason B.
Diamond sent it to us on Twitter. That's the only
reason that you know. Why would you ask me?

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Then?

Speaker 4 (32:10):
Why would you pretend like I knew it off the
top of my rhetorical that.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
This is mister? Nobody writes this get into some of
these tweets Early in the show, I thought you'd be
all in for NFL since training camp has started. That
talk is boring, but it'd be better than Olympic talk
based upon the coverage I've seen on here of the
opening ceremony, there isn't a negative number big enough to
describe my disinterest. And then Neil writes, by the way

(32:38):
Neil is at is can't close the deal. Neil, he writes,
this will be the lowest rated Olympics because of those
controversial opening ceremony. Really book it?

Speaker 9 (32:48):
I don't know, Okay, I can we just say that
Geider creates controversies that sometimes aren't there.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
No, they're incorrect.

Speaker 9 (32:56):
There were things to be offended about the things. The
thing I have seen most on Twitter that people are
offended about I don't think was a thing. I think
they're just looking for an excuse to be offended. Oh really,
there are other things to be offended about. You could
go down those roads. But it was for crying out loud,
a four hour show that.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Was way too long, way too long.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
I'll tell you what offended me is who the hell
thought it would be smart? But Kelly Clarkson out there
no fits Mary. I heard you defending her on the
show before ours, But holy smokes man, just because you're saying.

Speaker 9 (33:31):
She's in the network family somehow and therefore.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Gosh, just because you're famous doesn't mean you might be
good at something. I mean, is this an opening ceremony
or is it a Macy's Day parade. I would also
add that we do have numbers that came out.

Speaker 9 (33:48):
Oh yeah, I mentioned him in comparison to for example,
NBA regular season this past year, all the national TV games,
they averaged one point six million viewers. The opening ceremonies
was twenty eight point six million viewers.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
And it's it's up eighty three percent from the Tokyo Games.
But let's remember those, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 (34:09):
Those that was over thirty million last night. Yeah, eighty
three percent increase over the covid R. Wow, unbelievable for Saturday.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
And what'd you say? Twenty eight million for the opening ceremony?
Not bad, not bad. I will say the I was
watching beach volleyball today. That is about the coolest setting
for a court or any venue I've ever seen. Got
the Eiffel Tower in the background.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Oh that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
An team USA one, So that is good.

Speaker 9 (34:37):
Don't forget the swimming in the Rams Stadium in four years.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
But I mean I get it that, I get it.
The region our training camp talk is a little bit
boring and mundane. We're talking about injuries that you hope
don't happen. But I mean, come on, Arnie, this is
once every four years. You and I have enjoyed it
so far to Sega's crunching the numbers, he's all over it.
I mean I I kind of did talking about it.
I think it's been fun to learn more about some

(35:01):
of these athletes that we never talk about. And oh,
by the way, you know, we'll get excited about the
Hall of Fame game next Thursday, and then we'll grinch
and moan because it's boring, like, oh, I don't want
to watch all these scrubs playing the second but you.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Don't do once the Hall of Fame game comes, and
then we used to really start getting in the practice sure,
and you know, we get the little bit of news
that comes out and this quarterback look terrible through three
interceptions and everybody will go crazy. Then we'll really start
to get into it now that we get joy of
the Olympics.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
The Olympics is is only going to be another what
two and a half more weeks, So by the time
the NFL really gets cookie will be two weeks.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Oh, we'll be done with the Olympics. Yeah, yeah, we don't.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Don't stress this Sunday all right, when we come back
to the Tirack dot com studios, I have my own
Roman numeral. I'll call it. How deep did you go
in your Roman numerals? Like thirteen fourteen? No?

Speaker 3 (35:49):
No, I went to nineteen.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Ok. My Roman numeral twenty involving NFL trades. Next on

You know, there's been some suggestions griddles, mcblackout rights. If
you're not all in on Olympic handball, you're missing out.
Have you watched handball yet?

Speaker 3 (36:21):
I haven't really got into the handball. No, I've not
really picked that up yet.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
I see everyone tweeting about it, but I haven't caught
it at the right time. So fingers crossed now. I
will be watching tennis tomorrow. I noticed your your fake
caring response to Nicole Djokovic and at all tomorrow?

Speaker 3 (36:42):
Did I did I show that I was faking it?

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Oh? I think I can tell you. Oh who you've
talked about tennis.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Ever, I know I've been watching the ping pong that good.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
Yeah, I don't understand the way what they're doing right
before they serve, where they put the ball on the
table and they just let it sit there for a
second and then they put it in their hand like
they're holding gold or something like that, and then they
serve it.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
This is just kind of weird. I don't know what
what the certain rules are because they they have like
a weird spin on it. But I'm pretty good at
ping pong.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
I think i'd be Olympic athlete if I took up
ping pong full time.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
So you think if you took gong, took up ping
pong if you were Wait, what's your Roman numeral on
this one? Roman numeral two? Is that right?

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Or sub subdivision five? Remember I said I I thought water.
If I could play any sport, it'd be either water
pole open as I played that in college, or a
ping pong.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
I know you're very excited about this because not only
did you give it a number, but you highlighted it
yes as well, too highlighted and yellow. And when it's highlighted,
that means Arnie thinks he's got a bang.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Oh, I got a banger. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
If you could pick one obscure sport to be good at,
you'd say, you said, you don't even have to pick
it to be good at. You're saying, if you trained,
you'd be an Olympic ping pong player.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Yeah, I think ping pong. I could you know, make
the Olympic team.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
I don't think any of them I could do. I'm
just gonna be honest with you.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
I think a bunch of an athlete.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
I mean I when people talk about athletes, aren't he
there's picture of you right there, and that's elite athleticism.
But I mean, I'm watching this maybe maybe badminton. Maybe
that's tough. That's a tough sport, badminton. Even watching them,
it looks really hard.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Have you ever played badminton?

Speaker 2 (38:27):
I mean, who hasn't Everyone's played it at some point.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
You've got to play it in gym class?

Speaker 2 (38:31):
I think, did you really well? Was that in between
your massive water polo events that you guys had in
gym class?

Speaker 4 (38:37):
I don't know why you think why you're picking on
me about playing inner tube water polo.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
I mean that was a great was and it was
corect too.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Co ed. It was coc it was co ed. Yeah, okay,
well you're on an inner tube so it's not water
pol I don't.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
The girls the word bikinis though.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
But that's great. When you were in college, I was
probably awesome.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
But fantasm. Now I've got like, all right, yeah, you
don't want to see me sitting.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Hey, you could have been the cap guy there you go.
Did you see the guy that gets the cap if
they ass off the swimmer?

Speaker 3 (39:11):
I did. I thought that was a joke. I go,
what's that guy getting in the pool for? Is he is?
He from like a country where nobody, you know, qualified,
and he was just gonna do it. He was just
gonna go and swim it.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
It's like, I'm the one guy from some some Pakistan place.
It's the Pakistan Dan place, the Pakistan and I'm just
gonna go and be the one guy and I'm gonna
participate in this event.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
And I didn't know what he was though. I didn't
know what he was doing.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
I would like to get Bob the cap catcher a
new pair of swim trunks. That would be number one
most important. And here's number two. You're tell me that
if you drop your swimming cap into the pool. You
can't get it yourself. You can't just go in there
and get the damn swim cap. I mean, what are
we even doing right now?

Speaker 3 (39:54):
It was in the middle of the pool too. What
you throw it in there? I don't understand. I got there.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
So if you if you talk about Olympic events, I
think I could do. I could be that swim cap guy,
that's for certain. Jason B. Diamond Rights Kayaking was the
other Olympic sport I watched this morning. That is probably
the event I would train for. Kayaking.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
I don't like kayaking much. I do that a lot
out here with my wife. She loves it. I'm I
don't like it. It's hard for me to keep balance.
Don't like it much.

Speaker 8 (40:21):
You don't like anything.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
At Tennis Data Rights, Arnie played water polo. His horse's
name was Mister ed and an LJ. Wrights. So Arnie's
made up a new sport in er two water polo.
I haven't laughed this hard all week. I swear Arnie
is in the wrong business. He should be a comedian.
After all, who else picks the offense to win the
Super Bowl?

Speaker 4 (40:43):
Okay, that one it's a real sport, and I was
very good at it. If I forgot some of my
fraternity brothers off, they tell you I turned my back
to the goalie and take the ball, whip it around.
And I was a good goal scorer. So I was
very good at that. And I don't know why you
guys don't think it's the real It's a real sport
out there.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
I'll tell you why we don't think it's a real
sport because it's not a real sport.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
But by the ballroom dancing, right.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
But I don't think that's in the Olympics, is it.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Well, when we come back to the tire rack dot
com studios, let's dive and I want to pay off
my teas. I've got some football trades that are being
rumored and I think they're all bs plus. Did we
learn anything? We're getting back to football. We had training camp,
we had all the fun. Did we learn anything from
this weekend? I did. I don't think there's a quarterback
battle in Pittsburgh. We'll talk about it next.

Do you have a good week? What was the week?
I mean, you got your tuur news this week?

Speaker 4 (42:06):
I was so happy about that one. Yeah, I was.
I was happy. I was, I was good. And this
week I said this to Mary. They want me to
read for a part.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
What's that?

Speaker 1 (42:15):
Mary?

Speaker 3 (42:16):
What TV show do they want me to read for?
I don't even remember now?

Speaker 8 (42:19):
Why do you not remember this?

Speaker 2 (42:20):
I think Mary's trying to eat Arnie.

Speaker 8 (42:22):
I'm eating a Snickers right now.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
I cannot tell this is uh.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
They want me to read for Stranger Things and also
a Tyler Perry film.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
So they want you to read for a Tyler Perry film?

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Yeah? Yeah, how'd you was?

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Was this all off of your push last week to
get on this offensive Lineman movie?

Speaker 3 (42:40):
Or just I have.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
You know a guy that if I want to do
you know, auditions or something and it's a it's like
a virtual open call. But I don't want to really
do it unless I get like a really big part.

Speaker 8 (42:53):
I don't really want to do it. You were let's
be bombarding Patrick last week for it?

Speaker 4 (42:57):
Well that you know the movie on Paramount, I could
be like, get a big part in that, then you know,
maybe I would do that.

Speaker 8 (43:04):
Yes, I think you should do the Stranger Things. I'll
watch it.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
I've never really seen Stranger Things.

Speaker 8 (43:09):
I haven't either, but I'll watch it just for you.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Don't.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
I don't really get into that, And you.

Speaker 8 (43:12):
Should do the Tyler Perry. Why not just do the
most I can tell you?

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Why not? Yeah, I'll say this much good luck. I
wish you all the best. But so is this your age?
Do you have an agent? I'm just perplexed by how
because a couple of weeks too, I'm sorry, about six
months ago, you were all bragging about getting invited to
like Lee Steinberg's event and it was something that he

(43:37):
had sent you through like the job secret website that
everyone uses, and come to find out, he had sent
the message to like everyone and you thought you were
personally invited. So this is in this type of situation, right.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
No, no, no, no, no, no, Well you can't try out?
Did you get one?

Speaker 1 (43:52):
No?

Speaker 2 (43:53):
So well, I mean I don't actively try to try
out for anything right now, Arnie. I try out to
get my kids graduated, so I get him out of
this damn house because they cost me so much money.
That's what I'm trying to do right now. But good luck,
good luck. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the
next see. I don't I don't even know if what
the plan is for the next season of Stranger Things,
But but good luck. Are you watch that?

Speaker 3 (44:14):
I've never seen it, so I don't know.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
It's great. It's fantastic, it really is. You could ruin it. No,
I mean, that's just the problem. So what was the
You're playing this part of somebody who's happy that Tua
got paid. But there's got to be a part of part.
I don't think that you. I don't think you're buying
into this. How could somebody who has spent a majority
of their years we've done this show together.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
We had no choice, though, What did you want us
to do? Start fresh over with another quarterback?

Speaker 3 (44:42):
We had no means but to give to the money.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
I hate to do what you tell me not to do,
which is use your own words against you. But this
is your constant take.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
There are exceptions to rule. I mean, there are exceptions
to the rule. And who has been in the league
a long time, he's proved that he's certainly when he's healthy,
he can move to the offense. It wasn't his fault that
they had injuries last year. Wasn't his fault. They had
to play a game in Antarctica. So no, it it
was a good thing.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
I wanted them to do it, you know, I wanted
them to sign and I never two is my quarterback.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
I've always said that, So I'm happy today. I love it. Okay,
all right, you can't be like you know you you
think just because.

Speaker 4 (45:23):
You know you have one set firm rule that everybody
has to live by that rule. No, there are eye
before we except after c Sometimes there's an exception.

Speaker 7 (45:32):
To the rule.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
Therea called hypocrisy. Stop it.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
If you're can to sit here and try to sell
that to it deserves a contract over Dak or even
Kirk cousins.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
I say, that's exactly what I'm saying, right, it's two
and dozens of a contract more than Dak does. Why, Well,
Dak is overrated. Dok is not. No, I just told
you when he stays healthy. Go look at the numbers
just putting up today. It's stutter.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Yeah, because you're a homer, You're a Dolphins fan, You're
you're you're blinded by your homerism. Here, Dak's numbers are
equal to, if not better than, Taus.

Speaker 4 (46:09):
Well, well, I was gonna say, you saw what he's
done in the playoffs, but then again, Too is your.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Boy hasn't done craft in the playoffs yet, so you
can't even say anything. Yeah, he's lost, he's lost both
his games in the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (46:20):
Well, but his upside, his upscale from here on out
is bigger than Cousins or certainly Dak. Cowboys didn't do
anything to put any stars around Dak, so it's not
all his fault.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Though. Here's here's the question I would say, is you're
you're willing to risk not being able to pay Tyreek
Hill to keep Too around.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
No, we're gonna give Tyreek Hill the money.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
You're saying that now, But it's where's it magically gonna
come from? You got it? The salary cap. Listen, As
much as I want to say it's fake. It is
real in football, and they're gonna have to either restructure
some deals because he ain't gonna get Tyreek in and
I speaking if I could pay off my teas. According
to some reports, maybe the Dolphins are shopping Tyreek a

(47:02):
little bit.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
No, no, you're not. That's not true. That's not true.

Speaker 4 (47:06):
Matter of fact, I saw the report today that said
that they were going to the next thing they're working
out is given Tyreek Kill the money.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Well, I mean you can say you're working on something
and that can be the public. I mean, the Chiefs
said they were working on his deal, and what happened
he got traded to the Dolphins. Packers were working on
Devontae Adams deal, and he got traded to the Raiders,
according to reports out of Pittsburgh. Now, again, I understand
everyone's an insider, but this is from Chris HALICKI. I

(47:34):
think Omar Khan has been working. He's the GM of
the of the Steelers, has been working since March after
training Beyontay Johnson to try to bring in a marquee
quarterback to Pittsburgh. Now, con did say, hey, there's nothing
going on right now when you have thirty two GM
conversations already always happened, but there's nothing going on right now. Well,

(47:57):
you've got the Brandon Ayuk situation, and now you got
the DK Metcalf situation, and you potentially have tyreek kill.
This is the report. According to a team source, the
Steelers are convinced they're going to land Ayuk, Metcalf or
Tyreek Hill in a trade. At some point, it.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
Will have to be Ayuk.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
It's not gonna be tyreek Hill because Dolphins went ahead
and gave to all that money. Because of tyreek Hill,
they have to go to him. He's the number one
offensive weapon. They can't be without him.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
You've spent a lot of money on Jalen Waddle, right
And that's the reality of it. I mean, that's why
the Niners are struggling right now with finishing the Ayuk
deal for the amount of money that he wants now
deadline's per action. I don't think Ayuk or He'll or
even DK Metcalf are getting traded right now. I'm not
trying to disparage.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
Those other people on San Francisco making big money, though
they have Deebo that was making money. Obviously, McCaffrey Dolphins,
it was only Waddle, and it's only two. And now
it's only gonna go ahead and be Tyreek Hill, So
that's gonna be three.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
They have a lot more than like they like.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
You realize you're paying players on your defense too. Jalen
Ramsey is very expensive for your.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
Miami Dolphins, right, I understand that, But.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
You are gonna have to let one of them go.
You're gonna have to punt. I don't know if Tyreek
Hill is gonna be able to get the deal, but
he wants now. The good thing you have going for you,
I think is that Tyreek Hill isn't acting like a
jackass like he did with the Chiefs, right, he's not
doing right. He's selling you everything he can sell you
about loving being there, And even when your corny quarterback

(49:42):
grabs the mic and yell show me the money, which
was the corniest thing I think I've ever seen in
my life, he's still saying all the right things. So
you should feel good about it. I just I mean, listen,
it's July twenty eighth. I can't believe that we're gonna
have a blockbuster at this point, whenever we're already in
training camp.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Right right, I don't see that happening. In no way
that's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
One other note for the Steelers, I've noticed Russell Wilson
is not practicing very much. If you caught that in something.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
Yeah, as well, they said he was hurt or he's
banged up, right, So it's more you know, physical than
mental or anything like that, if that's what you're asking.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
No, No, that's not what I'm asking. I mean, did
you you know they got another very good or at
least a guy that we like quite a bit as
far as quarterbacks are concerned, and like he always does,
Justin Fields is wowing some people in practices. Right now
you're buying? Are selling? Any chance that Justin Fields could
be the opening day started for the Steelers over Russell Wilson.

(50:39):
I think there's a chance.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
Just if there's a chance, If I was going to
put a percentage on it, I'd say maybe a twenty
percent chance eighty percent Russell Wilson twenty percent that he
doesn't get to start there. Yeah, I would say about
a twenty percent chance they give it to him and
see what he could do. Of course, mostly has to
defend if there's any injuries.

Speaker 3 (50:59):
Or anything like that. I don't know if he'll beat
him out straight out or a thing like that.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
I will, I don't know if he will either. I
don't know one hundred percent like what the injury is,
because no one is really having to send out injury
reports yet. It's whatever a coach wants to tell you.
But hey, man, if you're that's one of the handful
of quarterback competitions that we have right now, I mean,
what and can we even call it a competition whenever

(51:24):
everyone has said, hey, Russell Wilson's our guy. But if
he's not practicing on he that's got to open up
more of an opportunity for fields.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
You know that that's the only reason it's not a competition,
because they're already giving him, you know, the starting job.
If we just based it strictly on what they're doing
in the preseason, then I think it's a whole another story,
you know what I mean. Then then I'm not so
sure that it's like a fifty to fifty to who
gets the starting job at that At that point.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
I only count off the top of my head four
quarterback battles that are going on right now, and I
didn't even I mean, I didn't really even include Pittsburgh
in that one, but I guess said it could be right.
We got a quarterback battle as we speak in Denver,
one of three guys could start their opener. We got
a quarterback battle going on in Vegas, one of two
guys could start their opener. Well, you got a quarterback

(52:12):
battle I think going on in Seattle right now. Is
Sam how in the mixed potentially start for them? And
I guess you know what, I guess I would Minnesota.
Would that be the Sam Darnold or JJ McCarthy. I mean,
we don't have a lot of battles going on for
starting quarterback positions right now.

Speaker 4 (52:31):
Nor would seem like we used to have a lot more.
But now that the fact that we don't try take
preseason very seriously. You have to decide on a started
quarterback just based on on practice and who your starting
quarterback is going to be coming into the season.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
So yeah, that's why you have it the way it
is right now. Not a lot of battles. You're right
about that.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
All right? Let me hit romanum will four and five
here before we grab a break. We were talking about
the Dolphins. We're talking about your homerism. This week a
story came out and I don't even know. I saw
it aggregated, so I don't know where it started from.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
Arnie.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
You sent it to me whether the Dolphins have a
reputation of a team that folds? And your response is true,
Oh yeah, why would you want a quarterback as your
leader for a team that has a reputation of folding
late this season?

Speaker 4 (53:19):
Maybe I missed. This has gone back, Chris for like
thirty years. The Dophins have had a reputation ever since
I was rooting for them.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
And I know you're like, oh, you're just a little
too close to the situation.

Speaker 4 (53:31):
But Chris, every no, every since, it's right there in
front of you. You always feel, even if you're up
by points or you're coming back to try to win it,
that something bad is going to happen, that the other
team's going to make the play, that the Dolphins are
going to throw an interception, that the Dolphins are going
to give up a touchdown. They do they come up,

(53:53):
I mean look at their Look at their the last
thirty years. How many playoff games have they won. They
come off as a team that is going to fold
somewhere down the line that they're going to choke, that
they're going to blow the game. They've always had that
reputation they I always feel like they've had that reputation
with them.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
Jordan Poyer, the Bills defensive back, is the is the
one who said it. He's or he was with the Bills.
He's now with the Dolphins. So it was it's pretty
eye opening to have a guy that's actually on your
rosters say that. But I think you look at it though,
where you always think they're like favorite in every single
game when they're supposed to win. Are you telling me.

Speaker 4 (54:34):
No, no, no, no, Like I like, if the if
the Dolphins are up by three points or four points
in the other team as the ball, I go watch,
they're gonna score a touchdown, They're gonna beat Miami with
like ten seconds left of the game. Miami's gonna choke
away this game. Or if Miami's down by two and
they have to go downfield to get the game winning
field goal, I go, oh, they're not gonna do that.
There'll be a bad play, or there'll be an interception,

(54:56):
or somebody will blow something and the Dolphins we'll choke
this game away. Also, they'll just fold away. I always
feel like that. Oh, when I werew with the Dolphins.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
You sure don't act like you feel that way. With
the way that you talk. It's like you talk a
big game. But boy, you sure do act like a
nervous nelly. Then when you watch them, I guess and
you do? You did? I hear you say or tweet
the other day that you think the Dolphins have the
Bills number. You don't really believe that, do you have?
You look at history? You know the last time the
Dolphins actually swept the Bills in a season? I was no,

(55:27):
how long ago? Was it twenty sixteen? It's been seven years.
You've only you've only beaten the Bills twice twice since then?

Speaker 4 (55:38):
Well, we haven't even had good teams in the last
seven years. Just recently. I No, I didn't tweet you
talk out, but okay recently? What year would you say?
Since you're good?

Speaker 3 (55:48):
Years?

Speaker 2 (55:49):
All right, we'll just just just pick one. When do
you want to start?

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Well, didn't we split with them in the last two years?
Or no?

Speaker 2 (55:54):
No, no, you got swept the last two years. Damn.
So maybe maybe you gotta pull back and change your
expectations a little bit. For this team, if you're really
truly a nervous nelly and you're not this overly confident
out they're going to the super Bowl every single year.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
No, it goes to show you how much better.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
I mean we even lost both games to them, and
we finished tied, and we choked the last two games,
and they had to win six games in a row
just to go ahead take the division.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
I mean that's not going to happen again.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
I mean just because it's only happened, you know, every
single time you've played them seemingly over the contest.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
So now so we are a team that folds, right, No,
you just aren't very good.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
It's not about folding. You stink and in big moments
you don't get it done. You gotta quit being a
homer man. I've had to accept that. It sucks. You're
mid You're not Elie. You just gave a record SETI contract,
which by the way, was broken two minutes later to
a quarterback that hasn't done Jack you know what yet
in his career, and you're hailing him like he's the

(56:55):
next Dan Marino.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
Definitely, we're a top eighteen. To say that we're not
Jack is.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
You're not a top eight team in the NFL overall
the National You're the third choice in the AFC East
right now, as far as betting is concerned.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
That's pretty good than me.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
Third choice third in a fourteen division.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
Oh, I thought you've been in the AFC period.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
AFC East, you're third in the fourteen? Said we were
third at the Betty Gods right now?

Speaker 3 (57:22):
No, no, no, no, no? What to win the AFC
East the Dolphins a third?

Speaker 2 (57:27):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (57:27):
Then I got to go to the bank tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (57:29):
I need to make a withdrawal and bet on the
Dolphins to win the division. I'm getting rich this year.
This is ridiculous. I mean the Dolphins.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
Third to win the division? That does in fact, it went.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
You opened at plus two hundred and you're now at
plus two twenty according to draft teams.

Speaker 4 (57:48):
Let's see, I got four words for you. Show me
the money.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Oh what are you talking about? I get on your
hash and make you I'm getting rich.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
What does your shot it?

Speaker 3 (57:59):
And show us what are the odds for Miami to
win the AFC period.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Let's see, Well, you're you're third in your division. Bills
are plus one eighty. I think that's the highest number
that the Bills have. They're as low as plus one
sixty five. The Jets are plus one ninety and your
biggest odds are plus two to twenty and just the AFC.

Speaker 3 (58:17):
Take your money and flush it down the toilet. If
you're gonna bet on the Jets, okay, just flush it
down the toilet.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
Well, I mean, I hate to tell you this, but
you've been that way with your team for the last
ever about flushing it down the toilet whenever comes to
picking them.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
What was the AFC for them to win the AFC?
What were the odds plus thirteen hundred oh thirteen to one.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Yep, you're seventh to the AFC right now.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
Wait?

Speaker 4 (58:42):
Wait, so if I put down a million dollars, I'll
get back thirteen million.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
I'm not good at math, but that seems like it fits.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
Wow right Wow.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Meanwhile, the other story here on Roman News, it's a
lot of money that you would not get. I will say,
I think the I think the mahomes Kermit the frog
puppet thing.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Oh shame on you.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
That was one of the dumbest stories I've ever seen
that went viral. Some stupid fan brings a puppet one
player that no one's ever heard of grabs it. I
mean the way people reacted to it, you would have
thought Antonio Peers walked up to the podium with a
Kermit the Frog puppet dressing a Patrick Mahomes uniform. It
was the dumbest response to anything I've ever seen. It

(59:25):
was dumb for the player to grab it. I matual,
it's stupid to begin with. It was dumb for the
fan to tape it and then put it out there.
You're part of the problem. And then the react Robert
Griffin third, What a dope this guy is. I'm like
one scrub puts it on his hand and plays around
with the fan and gives it back to him. I mean,
you act like they went down the line and everyone
it was like airplane. They were waiting to slap the

(59:45):
girl who was losing her mind on the flight. There
was a good old movie reference for you, and and
Mahomes said, all care of that, yeah, Bud quick quick
throwing it to Jack Jones first and then maybe you'll
have something to say about it.

Speaker 4 (59:58):
I liked it, though I didn't, you know, I don't
think God, I didn't think you'd get this much spent
out of shape.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
But I know, no, no, I didn't mind it if
it was a goofy fan. I hated the way people
reacted to it. They acted like this was some sort
of raider way this year to where it's like we
got this Kermit the Frog and it's got Mahomes jersey
on and this is our I don't know, this is
our symbol for twenty twenty four, when it's some stupid

(01:00:24):
fan giving it to some scrub safety. That's what That's
what cracked me up, the response to it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
When I first saw it, I felt like you guys
were doing like a three hour special with the dolld right,
you know, and like it was like it was some
comedy special and everybody was taking turns talking with it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
I didn't know it was you know, it was one guy.
Yea one guy, one guy. Everybody calmed down. Mahomes. First
text we get from Roger the engineer, thanks for the motivation.
The hell Mahomes need any extra motivation for you? Tell
me when it's third and twelve and he throws one
in the air that magically gets caught, he's gonna be like, yeah,
that's for the current. The fog doll.

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
I know, that's what they're gonna say after the game.
You know that, don't shore That's the first thing they'll
bring up after the game.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
Well, I mean, they cried the last time after they
lost to the Raiders, so I'm sure they'll bring up
something like that as well. All Right, listen, we got
a break. I'm way past our mark. When we come

sent it to me from Awful Announcing. But they're going
to require NFL head coaches to do in game interviews
this coming season.

Speaker 4 (01:02:32):
Yeah, you know, I wasn't a big fan of it
where they do it in basketball. I can only imagine
how it's going to be in football. I think it's
going to be a little bit better. You'll have a
little bit more time. Are you a fan of that
or no, Chris.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
I'm a fan. Well, see as a sideline guy there,
Yeah right. I want to have as much opportunities to
hear from the coach as possible, and it open up
more chances to talk to them. I just don't think
you ever get anything from it. I think it's kind
of pointless. I mean, coaches aren't going to tell you anything.
I think the halftime interview is great, and I think
the post game interview is great, And if that's what

(01:03:08):
it's gonna be awesome, if it's gonna be the awkward
thing that they try to do in the NBA where
they're interviewing them while the game's going on, but they
taped it there, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
I just I would not be I would not be
good because I would say something like, coming into the game,
you said you were going to pass, but you're running
the ball a lot and it's not successful.

Speaker 4 (01:03:30):
Why do you keep running the ball? But that's not
a good question?

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
Right that?

Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
That would that probably? Well, yeah, that would I think.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
There's a softer way to phrase it, right I.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
I how come you're not passing?

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
Maybe that might be okay, how come you're not throwing
the ball? More might be Yeah, hey, notice that you
had some success throwing the ball. Why'd you go away
from it? You going? Why'd you pass the ball?

Speaker 4 (01:03:57):
More?

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
Might not be the best way to go about it.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
Maybe I think people would like to hear my questions.
It'd be very direct. I don't know. Maybe the coaches
wouldn't like to hear it, but the listeners would.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
Yeah. Maybe maybe Now you'd probably get fired pretty quickly.
I know that one and done, but it might be
it might be worth it be a great one game though,
Eric Wrights. Guys, the Finns did what you have to
do with a good quarterback. You know, that is just
how it worked. Love hasn't proven anything yet, but he
got huge money. That's just the NFL.

Speaker 4 (01:04:30):
Well, that mean the biggest joke ever that Jordan Love
got it. I mean that's laughable, I mean absolutely laughable.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
Jordan Love and Tongue below have had the same amount
of successful seasons as starting quarterbacks. One.

Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
I mean, who was like a Hall of Famer compared
to Jordan Love.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
Well not according to my very official and very strategic
poll I put out yesterday. We'll get that in a bit.
But I mean, none of these guys deserve the money.
Mahmes deserves it all. I mean he's the worst he
he finished is in an AFC championship game, right, That's
the worst He's finished every year he started. That's amazing.
But Burrow, Joe Burrow, he can't stay healthy. Justin Herbert,

(01:05:12):
he got hurt last year. Jordan Love was not very
good all year last year, but got better as the
season progressed. Tua had his best year last year, and
Jalen Hurts, who seemed to regress last year. I mean,
that's that's a wild group of potential, but absolutely none
of them have done it. Hurts made the super Bowl run,

(01:05:32):
but none of them have won a title.

Speaker 4 (01:05:34):
And look who got the money and still have been questioned,
Lamar Jackson. That's why I questioned all the time, and
he got.

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
The big money. What is he proven in the playoffs?

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
Yeah, I don't know. It's a great question. But he's
at least won a couple MVPs in that run too,
so I think that matters or a MVP excuse? No
has he won to won MVP for Lamar Jackson. I
guess my point more than anything else is Arnie. I
don't know how you get the toothpaste back in the tube.
I don't know how you stop it. But at some

(01:06:07):
point it got to curb with this spending on unmet potential.
They did it when it came to the quarterbacks and
the draft picks, right, they put a cap. Maybe they
cap quarterbacks spending. Maybe your idea, I just I can't
buy that there's going to be a separate salary cap
for quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (01:06:23):
You call that an idiotic idea. I thought that was
a brilliant idea. I mean, obviously it's not my idea.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
I think it's gone.

Speaker 4 (01:06:30):
But that's just I mean, but it wasn't my idea
was being flooated around by, you know, people with brighter
minds than myself, thinking well, maybe this is the way
to end the problem with the quarterback and how much
are getting paid. I mean, geez, it would certainly think
that that'd be one of the ways to go ahead
and get it done. That way, your quarterback doesn't count
against the cap, and you still have money to pay

(01:06:50):
the rest of your team.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
But I mean, why, it's the rules. You have a
salary cap, everyone plays by it. Why do we suddenly say, well,
little bit unfair, so let's go ahead and create something.

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
But the rules change every year, The cap changes every year.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
Well the number changes, the rules show. And this isn't
the NBA where suddenly they start saying, all right, we're
gonna add this extra ring or level or whatever the
hell we're gonna call it this year. I just I
kind of feel like that. It's almost it's like being Madden.
Whenever I have a player I want to keep in
Madden Arnie, I go in and I change his salary.
I just manually change.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
It's cheety.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
I shouldn't do it, but I do it. I want
to keep them on my team. I just don't understand.
That's what I feel like the NFL is doing if
they have a separate cap for the quarterbacks. All right,
when we come back to the tiraq dot com studios,
I did see something on the roman numeral rundown that
was necessary for our attention, and it was it was late.
It was Roman numeral seventeen. Oh that's real, I know.

(01:07:47):
And it's right into Sager's wheelhouse too. Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Yes, what's trending? What's going on? Steve Sager's that type
of loser too. Yes, absolutely, show with you.

Speaker 9 (01:07:59):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (01:08:01):
By the way, I would like to see somebody flesh
out the idea of a quarterback salary cap. I'm at
least interested curious enough for someone to do it exactly.
I don't know what you but you remember that the
rookie salaries at a first rounders starting to get crazy,
and then they went to slotting, and then the number
one overall pick, Sam Bradford, was getting fifty million dollars

(01:08:21):
guaranteed and then they did something about that, and the
guaranteed money is about half of that for number one
overall in recent years. Yes, the Hall of Fame exhibition
is Thursday.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
It'll be August already.

Speaker 9 (01:08:32):
Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson did miss a fourth straight practice
with a strained CAF. Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase did
not practice for a fourth straight day. Not injured. Dallas
defensive and Sam Williams suffered a torn acl and mcl
Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore is out indefinitely due to
blood clots. John Rahm took the live golf event in

(01:08:53):
the UK by one stroke. In Scotland, kJ Choy won
the Senior Open, and the PGA Tour was in Minnesota.

a combined fifty two shots. In that game, Australia was
down five to two, but as part of the comeback,
got an own goal, a penalty kick for a goal,
and the ninetieth minute score to win. And you may

(01:09:34):
have heard what's been going on with Canada. They did
have a game on the field. The last minute goal
beat the host country France, two to one. Canada's coach
Bev Priestman is suspended for a year for using drones
to spy on opponents close practices in recent years, including
last week in France. Twice. Canadian women's team, the defending

(01:09:55):
gold medalists by the way in women's soccer, with docked
points in the standing sending them to last place. Simone
Biles posted the top score today in the gymnastics all
around despite a calf injury Sunni Lea. The US is third,
Jordan Chiles a close fourth. The team finalist Tuesday. Individual
all around is Thursday. The US leads the team event.

(01:10:15):
Battling for second now are Italy, China, and Brazil. In
women's swimming, the US took gold and silver in the
one hundred butterfly. The US women's rugby won two games
today easily. They'll play France tomorrow and in beach volleyball tomorrow.
I know we mentioned it's Rafael Nadal against Novak Djokovic tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:10:32):
I can't wait for that.

Only second round of Olympic tennis. But in beach volleyball
tomorrow beginning pool play US against France with Chase Butdinger
for the US team.

Speaker 3 (01:10:44):
Let's go.

Speaker 9 (01:10:45):
Chase Let's former Arizona basketball player, former high school star
in volleyball, a beach volleyball Olympian. Tonight in baseball, Yankees
won at Boston eight to two.

Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
Back to you, we had a lot of Olympians in
our high school.

Speaker 2 (01:11:03):
Do tell I think.

Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
We had like about like three, four, five, six.

Speaker 2 (01:11:09):
You don't know their names, the oh volleyball guys, all right, yeah, KRAI,
I'm not sure.

Speaker 4 (01:11:17):
There were so many of them really that we were
a quarter mile from the beach.

Speaker 9 (01:11:21):
Please, Speaking of schools, I did mention on the show
before you, the NCAA proudly touted that, for example, Cal
has about forty athletes at these Olympics for various countries,
Stanford has over fifty, and USC has almost sixty athletes
at these Olympics.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
That's pretty cool. Hey to Saga, I got a story
here for you. This is this is an Arnie Spaniard special. Yeah, yeah,
because I was intrigued by it. According to speaking of
cities and areas that have a lot of athletes, the
Minnesota Minneapolis Star Tribute did not send anyone to Paris
to cover the game, and it's this hit. The nerds

(01:12:01):
over it awful. Announcing decided they needed to write a
piece about it.

Speaker 9 (01:12:04):
But because it's not the Winter Olympics.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
In other words, that's right. So is this is this
a big deal or no? In your opinions?

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
Stop crying.

Speaker 4 (01:12:13):
Really, they act like their lives came to an end.
This is the first time in fifty years we've not
said anybody to cover it to the Olympics a buttercup.

Speaker 3 (01:12:23):
How do you think watch it on TV? You like
the rest of us.

Speaker 9 (01:12:26):
You just use an Amy Van Dykin phrase. This is
two references there.

Speaker 4 (01:12:30):
You watch it on TV like the rest of us,
and then write your story.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
Okay, let me jump in here real quick. Arnie, if
Scott sent you to the Super Bowl every single year
and then the year the Dolphins make the Super Bowl,
he says, we're not sending anyone of the Super Bowl?
How would you feel?

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
All right? Just because I'm a Dolphin fan.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
Though I'm just saying about and these are Minnesotans that
are making.

Speaker 9 (01:12:55):
Oh it would not be overseas though.

Speaker 1 (01:12:57):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (01:12:57):
It's it's ridiculous. I mean, for the just take like
week one of football.

Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
You're not answering the question. But you're sitting here dogging
on these people complaining about it. But how would you
feel if you had the opportunity to.

Speaker 3 (01:13:09):
Watch the game on TV?

Speaker 4 (01:13:11):
I watch it on TV and we talk like I
do every other game, and we talk about it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:16):
That's what I would do.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
You go, You're so lying so bad, you'd be so busy.

Speaker 8 (01:13:23):
You know, dang well, he would get on here on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Oh my gosh. The cheapest people in the world not
sending me there. I could hear you right?

Speaker 3 (01:13:31):
What they want? A free trip to parents? Is that
what this is all about?

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
You?

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
You keep not answering the question.

Speaker 8 (01:13:36):
How would you you in the movie?

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
It would be no big deal to me. If I
wanted to go to the game, I would pay my
own way. But I it's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (01:13:47):
These people are like, Oh, I can't believe they're not
sending use you.

Speaker 8 (01:13:52):
Were so upset, and then you would find a way to.

Speaker 4 (01:13:55):
I promise, I promise I'd take my wife and kids
for a vacation, and this was a paid vacation.

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
Get out of or stop your belly ach.

Speaker 9 (01:14:05):
It's less surprising in the print climate these days, because
I have seen what has happened to, for example, the
Los Angeles Times here in California. It's ludicrous. What has
it's I don't know what it is anymore. I mean,
they actually don't. I can't believe I'm saying this out loud.
They actually don't print the story of the Dodger game
the night before, because I mean, the print version of

(01:14:29):
the LA Times is just I mean, we were talking
on the previous show, how useful, like Joe Montana was
on the NFL pregame show. It's that useless, I should say,
not useful, useless picking up a print edition, which I
have not in whatever a year since they've changed things.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Well, Arnie thinks it's what ridiculous that people would complain, That.

Speaker 3 (01:14:49):
They would complain, Yeah, that the workers would complain, well, I.

Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
Get why they would, but man, come on, man, that's
that's where we're living right now. We are not spending
extra decent anyone anywhere.

Speaker 9 (01:15:01):
Well, if they sent somebody to like La in four
years or Salt Lake City, but of course they'll be
going to Salt Lake City.

Speaker 3 (01:15:07):
My old thing was this felt Chris.

Speaker 4 (01:15:08):
I mean, they act like they can't do their job
because they're not at the game. Watch it on TV,
just like the way we have to watch TV and
talk about it all.

Speaker 9 (01:15:15):
Do you think all the NBC announcers are at the game?

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
No? No, not be like them.

Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
There's also pluskin pressors. There's a different feel when you're
at the events. So you're just saying, no one should
ever broadcast live or go to games. You just watch
it on TV.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
Well, how the hell do we talk about all the
football game? Now? We had all the games? Oh, we
had all the NFL games week one, week two, week three,
week four?

Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
No, do you happen? Who are you counting on? You're
counting on people that are at the game to tell
you what the frick is going on at those games?

Speaker 3 (01:15:44):
Are we watch the game?

Speaker 2 (01:15:45):
That's why there's people there broadcasting the damn game. There's
camera operators, there's writers, there's people that cover it. You're
watching it on TV because there are people that are
doing their job.

Speaker 9 (01:15:57):
In the nineteen nineties, do you remember the Red Zoner
March wanted to get rid of the pro scouts for
the Cincinnati Reds because quote all they do is watch ESPN.

Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
Yeah, you've gotta be there and be engaged. If your
idea is we don't need to send people to games,
my man, you've got yourself probably a job as an
executive in a media place right now. You just need
to go send your resume in place you can make
millions right now, that'd beating everyone's travel budget. You want
to go to the game and cover it, watch it
on TV?

Speaker 3 (01:16:27):
Exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Gosh, All right, when we come back to the tiraq
dot com studios to Sega is going to go all
in on some Olympic news notes and nuggets. Next on
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
All right, Tonian Plank come to you live from the
tire Raq dot com studios, and don't forget we got
an opportunity for you to win a brand new set
of four tires valued it up to fifteen hundred dollars.
The tirack dot com give away every two weeks this summer.

(01:17:12):
to fifteen hundred dollars. The first winner will be picked

let's go and get rules for the first set of
four brand new tires at Fox sports radio dot com.
Time is ticking to get registered before our first winner
selected on Monday morning Fox Sports Radio dot Com. It's
I'll furnished by tire rack dot com the way tire
buying should be Stevie Sager. Arnie Spanier does want anyone

(01:17:35):
covering sporting events on so take it away covering everything.

Speaker 9 (01:17:40):
Also sounded very exciting yet again about contest. He thinks
he can win.

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
Right for this.

Speaker 4 (01:17:47):
I wish we were I'd register, you know, I made
mistink about how the old men who used to write
for papers always were given front row seats, and when
we would go to the games, they wouldn't give us.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
Like great seats.

Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
I like why why did the old men? Oh they
got a right, that's why. Oh, big deal, they're big deals.
So what there every day?

Speaker 9 (01:18:06):
They do actually work after the game.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
You know, stop it going to hot dog, eat the
free food, and probably go and the popcorn.

Speaker 4 (01:18:14):
Well I would go to the press conferences, the postgame conferences.

Speaker 9 (01:18:18):
And then leave and get a hot dog and popcorn,
and all.

Speaker 3 (01:18:20):
Right, shall I get a hot dog? Big deal, it's free.

Speaker 9 (01:18:24):
Come on now, updating Team USA this week, guys, it
was quite a good day, surprisingly good day for American
sports at the Olympics in Paris. And it was actually
outside Paris where the US men's basketball team won its
opener against Serbia, and then US women's soccer dominated Germany
four to one, and you got Simone Biles and the
gymnastics team with a great start to their week. Women's

(01:18:47):
basketball's Olympic tournament starts for the US tomorrow against Japan.
The US women since nineteen eighty four in the Olympic
Games are sixty nine and one. By the way, today
I thought of that team and the great US record
in women's hoops because today I saw on one of
the cable channels in archery, South Korea, won its tenth

(01:19:07):
straight gold in the women's team final. They have won
every team gold since that event. Debut Archer. Apparently not
difficult enough for the opponents, Is that what you're saying,
because this is quite it. They had to go overtime
in the semifinal just to get to the final today,
and then they win yet another final. But what's coming

(01:19:28):
up for the US women? Sure they should beat Japan.
We saw them at the last Olympics in Tokyo against Japan,
and there was such a height disparity it was almost unfair.
If Brittany Griner had wanted to score forty points in
four minutes forty minutes, she could have seriously so standing
by for tomorrow. But then Thursday it's the US women
against Belgium. And back in February, the US only won

(01:19:49):
at Belgium by two points in an Olympic qualifier. In fact,
the US was down nine after three quarters in that game.
So do want to see the rematch Thursday? And then
next Sunday US women against Germany. US just killed Germany
in a tune up game, eighty four to fifty seven.
But remember this year's US women's team did lose the
sendoff against the team of WNBA Stars, so we'll see

(01:20:10):
how they did in this tournament. US men's basketball winning
its opener against Serbia. It was a close game minute
left in the first half, fifty to forty seven was
the lead one ten to eighty four. The final Nicola
Jokicic and the lost twenty points eight assists. Next up
for the US men South Sudan on Wednesday, and then
Puerto Rico for them on Saturday. Yes, South Sudan won

(01:20:33):
its Olympic debut today, beating Puerto Rico ninety to seventy nine.
South Sudan was somebody from South Sudan talking. Trailed eleven
to two early today on free throws. This was a
difference South Sudan fourteen to fifteen, Puerto Rico fourteen of
twenty four. Puerto Rico does have guard from the Pelicans,
Jose Alvarado, who had to leave with an injury but
did return. They had twenty six points. But there's the

(01:20:55):
American men's hoop schedule coming up. US women play Australia
on Wednesday. For the gymnastics, the team final is Tuesday,
individual all around is Thursday. Rafael and Nadal tomorrow in
second round of tennis against Novak Djokovic. Of course we
mentioned Hall of Fame exhibition is Thursday. I know we're
very excited for football where Fox we adore football. Thursday's

(01:21:18):
not really NFL football.

Speaker 3 (01:21:20):
Oh yeah, you could bet on it. It's really NFL football.

Speaker 9 (01:21:23):
Well, you could bet on the ping pong too, but
it's not really you know what I'm saying. Baltimore Orioles
defeated San Diego eight six today. The Padres had one
seventh straight. Padres picked up a pretty good setup reliever,
Jason Adam from Tampa Bay. The MLB trade deadline is Tuesday.
Cubs won their game today at Kansas City. The Cubs
acquired third basement Zak Paradis from Tampa Bay.

Speaker 3 (01:21:45):
Back to you, thanks, Steve.

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
All Right, the Power Hour is next y. We have
a handful of Roman numerals we still need to hit,
and the tweets have been fantastic, so we'll hit those
to kickoff Hour number three. Plus. Arnie's picks are coming
up right around the corn and keeping coming is stinking genius.
Won year takes at Plank Show. Everyone go follow us
at Fox Sports Radio training camp. Tidbits coming up next

(01:22:10):
on Fox Sports Radio. Stick around. All right, here we go,
Power Hour. Let's tell you a lot from the tire
rack dot Com studios, tirerac dot com, the way tire
buying should be an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. All right,
final hour, Power Hour are.

Speaker 3 (01:22:30):
Even said, it's college football too. You didn't even get
to the college football.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
You well, I mean, let me give you an example
of what Arnie sins whenever he wants to talk about
college football. Uh Roman numeral number nine, some early college
football betting lines. That's all you said, Well, yeah, you're
I well, they've been out for a while too, by
the way.

Speaker 3 (01:22:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:22:53):
And then I said, also the power rankings of the
Big Twelve, which I thought were blowney because they had
Arizona at as.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
These these power rankings were they?

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
I don't know, some Boloney power rankings out.

Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
There, buddy. I don't know how else to tell you this,
but there is no group of people covering a sport
that love to do power ratings in rankings more than
college football media. In fact, I just looked up Big
Twelve power rankings and I got one from twenty four
to seven sports from ESPN, from CBS, from the College

(01:23:25):
Football Network from KSL sports from Athlons from ON three
from The New York Times. From the Lubbic Avalanche Journal.
Do you want me to go on?

Speaker 3 (01:23:32):
No? I get it now, I get it, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:23:34):
So that's why whenever you get upset about some of
these power rankings, my thought is witch one and how
much you want to put into it?

Speaker 4 (01:23:42):
And the seventh I just think it's funny because, like
I said, Arizona's going down in class when we go
from the Pac twelve to the to the Big twelve.
I mean, it's like going playing D three football from
D one. We should be number one. US in Utah
should be one two, just because we're obviously better teams
coming from a much tougher conference. That's why you were able,

(01:24:05):
That's why Oklahoma was able to and Texas able to
dominate the Big twelve for so long because all the
other teams are boloney.

Speaker 2 (01:24:12):
Should be easy for you.

Speaker 4 (01:24:13):
Then, no doubt in my mind Arizona wins that conference.
There is zero doubt in my mind that Arizona won't,
that Arizona won't win the Big Twelve.

Speaker 2 (01:24:25):
Do you want to mess that job on it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:27):
Oh, I would definitely bet my job on it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:29):
So right now, Arnie Span, you're betting his job that
Arizona will win the bag.

Speaker 3 (01:24:36):
The only difference is maybe Utah beats us out, maybe
your bat No, But I know this, No Big twelve
team will beat us out.

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
Kansas State will beat you no freeze.

Speaker 8 (01:24:46):
Hey, Arnie, So when you lose your job, can I
replace you?

Speaker 3 (01:24:49):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
Because he never ever quits, he's bet his job.

Speaker 3 (01:24:53):
I've never wronged. I'm never wrong on that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
Okay, Well, there's a couple of other non college football
and I guess what.

Speaker 4 (01:24:59):
I we just want all those other Boloney schools to
know that you're not fooling me. And we know that
the schools from the Pack twelve. Maybe Arizona State's not
going to be any good, but it will be a
lot easier than when we played in the Pack twelve.

Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
What in I don't know what? What in your mind
leads you to believe that Arizona isn't a Boloney football program? Like,
what evidence do you have to back this up? That
you're not the Boloney football program and that a majority
of the Big twelve isn't licking their child do you
know they get to play Arizona over say Oklahoma or

(01:25:34):
Texas first?

Speaker 4 (01:25:35):
Did you know that if we had a break or two,
we would have been in the playoffs last year?

Speaker 2 (01:25:40):
I think just about every team in college football could
say that right now. Oklahoma would have had a break
or two, they would.

Speaker 3 (01:25:46):
Have been in the playoffs too, from the depths where
we came from. Plus, we have one of the top
let's say three quarterbacks in all of college football.

Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
You don't have one of the top three quarterbacks in
college football.

Speaker 3 (01:25:57):
Stop?

Speaker 2 (01:25:58):
What are you doing right now?

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
Are you? Siah Is?

Speaker 2 (01:26:00):
Yes? Really, I'm serious. You don't have one of the
top three quarterbacks in all of college football. And you
might have the top one of the top three quarterbacks
in the Big Twelve.

Speaker 3 (01:26:13):
He's the best quarterback in the Big twelve.

Speaker 2 (01:26:15):
And we have Cam Rising is the best quarterback in
the Big twelve.

Speaker 3 (01:26:19):
And we have the number one receiver in all of
college football.

Speaker 2 (01:26:23):
I don't know if you have maybe a top ten
receiver in college football.

Speaker 3 (01:26:28):
He's the number one receiver in college foot, in all
of college football, in all of college foot.

Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
Will you send me the power ranking where you saw
this or is.

Speaker 3 (01:26:34):
That already ranking. That's what it is. If every mary else,
what did that guy say?

Speaker 2 (01:26:39):
Can we do that? Can we turn NIE's mic off?

Speaker 8 (01:26:41):
I mean I want to have I don't mind it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
I want to have a real college football conversation. And
this is because every single time I try to talk
anything about it's always about a great best quarterback. You
always talk about how great Oklahoma is. Never on this show,
I can talk about everything. I believe. All you you
is pedal bs about Arizona. Believe about the greatness of

(01:27:05):
the top quarterback in all accounts.

Speaker 4 (01:27:07):
Say You're not gonna be pedaling old Goloba this year,
that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Yeah, I know right, that's all you got. Talk to
me a little bit about the straight receiver.

Speaker 3 (01:27:15):
What's his name, t Mac. You don't even know you're McMillan.
It's McMillan. Goodness, gracious, Well.

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
Take it away, Alreadie. Tell me more about the greatness
of Arizona stepping down in class and the big No.

Speaker 4 (01:27:27):
I just like I said, we're just going down in
class from the Pac twelve. That's why it's going to
be so easy for us that you win that conference.
It's not gonna be that tough that's why you guys
have dominated. Really, if we were going to the SEC,
it's a whole nother story. But we're going to a
Bologney conference. I'm just trying to be honest with you. Well,
if I told you we were going, if I told
you if we would go to a conference that rivals

(01:27:48):
the SEC, you'd be ripping me about that, also, would
you not?

Speaker 1 (01:27:51):
Or what?

Speaker 3 (01:27:51):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:27:51):
Yeah, because you're not a very good football program. You're
just not. Yeah, goodyear last year? Where you want ten wins?
You want ten games? When was the last time prior
to last year that you won ten games?

Speaker 3 (01:28:02):
It's been a long time.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
Yes, So where does this?

Speaker 3 (01:28:05):
Where is this what you've done for me? But what
you've done for me lately? Were and then what happened
to the team from last year? We're back? You're back back.

Speaker 2 (01:28:14):
Do you even know your coach's name?

Speaker 9 (01:28:17):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:28:17):
Yes, I do know my coach's name.

Speaker 2 (01:28:19):
You better hurry up and google it up.

Speaker 3 (01:28:21):
No, I just don't out off the dove.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
It's your team. Oh my gosh. All right, anyway, let's
hit some of these tweets at Stinking Genius one at
Plank Show. Everybody should follow us at Fox Sports Radio.
Let's see here, Scottie writes, Man, Arnie is gonna be
mad when Arizona's playing in the Sunset Taco Bowl or
whatever the hell it's called nowadays. That's pretty good. It's

(01:28:43):
pretty good. What are you gonna do? Are you gonna
beat Bowl? Eltro? I mean, you beat Oklahoma in the
Alamo Bowl, which is one of the most embarrassing moments
in our program's history.

Speaker 4 (01:28:50):
We have one of the easiest schedules too this year too.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
Do you really I said you that that. How many
ranked opponents do you have on your schedule?

Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
Right? And then you try to say that Oklahoma wasn't
on there when they were like.

Speaker 3 (01:29:01):
I didn't see this, Yeah, I didn't see it. I
didn't see that, by the way, Eric, Right.

Speaker 2 (01:29:06):
So the reason it's a big deal that the Star
Tribune is not sending a writer is because Minnesota has
eight athletes in the Paris Games.

Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
Yeah, so what though, I mean, you can still cover
it at home, not a big deal. Will be able
to give the You'll still be able to give the
readers what they want by covering it at home.

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
If Shay was in the Olympics, we cannot be mad
if the local Vermont people weren't covering it there. We
have three people from Vermont in the Olympics. I'm talking
specifically about your son.

Speaker 4 (01:29:33):
If I would take the time off and go myself,
I wouldn't say, oh, please send me because I don't
want to go and pay myself.

Speaker 3 (01:29:40):
I would go myself.

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
No, I'm asking no coverage or no newspaper articles about
him from a first hand for literally, we're.

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
Not going to say there's not going to be any coverage.
You're just not going to go there and cover it first.

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
So that doesn't matter to you about being the being
able to tell the story from afar? What fun is that?
What good is that? What inside details are you getting
there from your out Let me tell you something that's
the way of the future.

Speaker 3 (01:30:03):
Look at you.

Speaker 2 (01:30:04):
That's now you're telling. You're telling us a story tonight
about Minnesota not sending you there, and you're like, yeah,
I'd be fine if if they're not given the.

Speaker 3 (01:30:11):
Company, don't go they even stay at the.

Speaker 2 (01:30:14):
Majority of them are. But the reality is you can't
do your job as well from home. You just can't.
What if your internet goes down?

Speaker 3 (01:30:22):
Let me ask you if they asked you to call
the play by Have you ever done play by playoff monitor?

Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
It sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:30:28):
It's the hardest thing I've ever done outside of a
show with you, Arnie. Eric wrightes fifty dollars that the
Mildcats do not win their football conference championship in twenty
four or twenty five.

Speaker 4 (01:30:39):
I gotta ask Todd Ferban what the odds are on
my Wildcat's winning the Big twelve.

Speaker 2 (01:30:44):
Oh, I can give it to you right now.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
Oh jeez, please tell me I'm going to be rich
Big twelve.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
Well, I mean, you don't bet on anything, so, I
mean it doesn't really matter right now. But as it
stands right now, let's see Arizona. So odds are plus fourteen hundreds.
Iowa was thinking for Kansas, Oklahoma State, UCF, Kansas State
and the preseason favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:31:05):
Utah fourteen to one.

Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (01:31:09):
So if I put down a million dollars, I get
back fourteen million.

Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
Just like if you put down a million on the
Dolphins to go to the Super Bowl, you'd get back
fourteen million.

Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
What happens if I did a two team parlay Arizona
to the Miami Dolphins and that this is my year
and it finally all comes together for me that the
planets are all line and my wild Cats do win,
and so do my Dolphins, and maybe I throw in
the Knicks as a three teamer. How about that.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
Get greedy? Why not? I say go for it? Pay
huh wow, nothing because it's not happening. Wow, yay or
nay to these two things. Sam Howe starts at least
one game for the Seahawks and the Mariners make the playoffs,
all right, I say yes. I'd say yay to Sam Howe.
What about the Mariners, Yeah, they're gonna.

Speaker 3 (01:31:58):
Make the playoffs. I would say yes to that also,
so I would say, I mean, that's not gonna pay
a lot. But that's a good two tee part.

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
I don't think he's necessarily looking at it from a
part not everything is about gambling. That might seem Ba
Bake does agree with you on something. He right so well.
The Dolphins quarterback does have a reputation for literally folding,
So does that count? Good question? Does that count with
two unfolding or no?

Speaker 3 (01:32:24):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
LJ. Right before Hill got to Miami, Tua did absolutely nothing.
He can't do anything without those weapons. He can't make
people better. As a Patriots fan, I am thrilled they
overpaid for two.

Speaker 4 (01:32:37):
Yeah, a Dolphins fan, I'm glad the Patriots are still
in our division.

Speaker 3 (01:32:40):
How about that? Well, you're gonna get a little payback
and now you're gonna feel like when it's good to
think for the next like ten years. That's exactly what's
gonna happen to the Patriots.

Speaker 2 (01:32:52):
Chris writes. Ask Arnie what Olympic sport would to a
dominate if he were in Paris right now? My guess
speed walking.

Speaker 3 (01:33:00):
That's not funny.

Speaker 2 (01:33:01):
You think you would dominate speed walking?

Speaker 3 (01:33:05):
I don't get that. What's like getting that?

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
No one would hit him, no one would be around him.
He's not very fast, he doesn't have to do anything.
It's speed walking. You have to be an athlete, right,
That's about it. He's not really a sport. Geez, I
don't know. Mary Arty and Chris getting a little heated.
You may have to go in there and separate them. No, no, no,
Arty is just like ninety percent of college football. Well,

(01:33:31):
first of all, he's one hundred percent not knowing anything
about his own team, which is hilarious. But then the
disrespect for the Big twelve. It's always been there for
some unknown reason. It's always going to be there, even
worse now that Oklahoma and Texas are gone. When you
lose to Kansas State, that's whenever I think your tune
will change. Either that or you'll want your coaches and
then you want your coach fired.

Speaker 3 (01:33:51):
And that's not a conference game, right the Kansas State game.

Speaker 2 (01:33:54):
Is that one of those games that they're playing as
a non conference?

Speaker 4 (01:33:57):
Yeah know, yes, I think that's the one that's non
conferences for this second week or third week of the season.

Speaker 2 (01:34:03):
But and it's hilarious because it would be such a
huge conference win when you get that, right, because you're
gonna just dominate this league.

Speaker 3 (01:34:09):
Sounds like our hardest game in that conference. I think
you think so. I think I don't have the schedule
pulled up in front.

Speaker 2 (01:34:15):
Of me, but I think it is do you go
to Oklahoma State this year?

Speaker 3 (01:34:20):
I gotta get the schedule right now. So many tweets
are coming in. My head is spinning so well. I mean,
I can help you out. It's called Google.

Speaker 2 (01:34:29):
You go to Kansas State in week three, you go
to Utah the following week. You want to have the
favorite to be either one of those games you got
tech at home, you go to BYU, you get Colorado
at home, West Virginia at home, you go to UCF.
You're gonna get beat by UCF. You gotta go to TCU,
get Houston at home, and then get Arizona State at home.

Speaker 3 (01:34:50):
Oh jeez, that's an easy schedule.

Speaker 4 (01:34:51):
Oh my gosh, maybe I will bet that parlay Arizona
to the Miami Dolphins.

Speaker 3 (01:34:57):
It'll only be Arizona will do, will get it done.

Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
You're gonna lose four games. You're gonna lose to Kansas
State in Manhattan, You're gonna lose to Utah, probably gonna
lose to BYU, and you're gonna lose to UCF.

Speaker 3 (01:35:11):
I killed my whole season. If they lost to Kansas State.

Speaker 2 (01:35:16):
You'll be two and oh from the Kansas State is
not a blowney team.

Speaker 3 (01:35:20):
You're the blowney team. You don't understand.

Speaker 2 (01:35:22):
You're you're looking at this as if you're you're going
in to dominate. And everyone in the Big twelve was like,
we got a team that we're gonna be able to
roll here. Thank God it's not Texas or Oklahoma.

Speaker 4 (01:35:31):
The travels it's going to be so much easier for
us than where we had to go and that was
a killer Arizona when we'd got to go to Stanford
or cal or Washington, Washington State and the weather would
be just horrible.

Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
It's just miserable up there.

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
Well, let me let me just tell you real quick
about the weather in Manhattan in early September or out
in Salt Lake City in late September. I mean, you're
going to BYU in October and you're going to Denver
in the middle of October. I don't necessarily know things
are getting ease. Why do you do this? There's so
many great stories in college football. Why must you hijack
a college football conversation that never happens on this network

(01:36:09):
in a in a outside of Brady Quinn breaking things
down and Colin Coward. I mean, there's not a lot
of good college football talk. And I finally get it
where it's on the Roman numerals and it's about how
Arizona's gonna be great when you don't even know their
coaches name.

Speaker 4 (01:36:23):
No, I did give you a chance to I didn't
put like the top twenty five, but I did, like
I said, like you said, I put down some of
the early betting lines that I said that's not Arizona games.

Speaker 3 (01:36:34):
That's like all the is it Week one games or
all the big games?

Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
These have been out for a while. You just send
this like early betting lines. Which which ones are you
intrigued in? Which what's caught your eye this week? I mean,
we've been looking at these for a month now.

Speaker 3 (01:36:48):
I don't have them up in front of me. You
can give me some of them.

Speaker 4 (01:36:51):
I pull them up, but I didn't have in front
of me this second. I said just so many stories.
I mean, it's hard to keep track of everything I
sent you.

Speaker 2 (01:37:00):
Well, I will say this if you would like. There
is a couple of slam dunks early, and one of
those I think is George and Clemson. And I think
the last number I saw was like four and a
half five and a half, and it might even be
bigger than that. I think George is gonna roll them.

Speaker 4 (01:37:18):
I was just gonna say, I want a better million
dollars on Georgia.

Speaker 3 (01:37:22):
I like that one. That's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (01:37:24):
According to fan duels, Oh, it's a lot higher than
I even thought. Thirteen and a half is the number
that fan Duel has on it right now. And again
that game is being played in Atlanta. I thought it's
a much larger line. The over under forty eight and
a half is pretty enticing too, But in their college
football odds on some of the biggest games, that is

(01:37:44):
a massive number. Also, Week zero doesn't have a lot
of great games. But Florida State is playing overseas against
Georgia Tech twelve and a half point favorite for Florida
State right now. And you were asking about how confident
are you in your Arizona Wildcats right now?

Speaker 3 (01:38:02):
I mean the first kid against Kansas State.

Speaker 2 (01:38:04):
I mean in general, because I do have some playoff
odds here.

Speaker 3 (01:38:07):
Okay, I'm very confident ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:38:09):
You're confident that they'll make the playoffs this year? Well,
you could probably see here you could get a pretty
good number on Arizona because they are plus one thousand
to make the playoffs right now, better than Washington yea
worse odds than the Wisconsin as well. And by the way,
Tulane is in there two at eleven one. Keep in
mind though, twelve team playoff right the best hots out

(01:38:31):
of the big twelve, I think it's actually Kansas. They
got Kansas and Oklahoma State a plus seven hundred right
now to potentially make the playoffs. So if FanDuel's got
all those numbers there, but there was nothing that just
when you sin it, you're like, hey man, that's a
number that caught my eye.

Speaker 4 (01:38:48):
Well no, no, I found the Betty Lions now, so
I pulled it on up.

Speaker 3 (01:38:52):
I mean the first one.

Speaker 4 (01:38:53):
The Texas three and a half point favorite at Michigan.
It really show you either Texas is going to be
as good as everybody's saying as advertised, or Michigan is
gonna have a log year.

Speaker 3 (01:39:03):
Chris, it's gonna be a long year for them.

Speaker 2 (01:39:06):
If this is gonna happen, you know, well, if they
they've got to replace everybody. But they do have the
whole I guess mindset that they're developing, and it's what's
the whole idea instead of just going out hint the
portal hard, which they didn't. They've got a lot of
three four five's are four to five star guys that
they've developed. So Michigan is confident, but I think I

(01:39:27):
don't think they're gonna be very good. I think it's
gonna be a tough year for Michigan.

Speaker 3 (01:39:29):
Texas and Oregon both three and a half point favorites
on the road in Michigan. I hate to exactly the same.

Speaker 2 (01:39:36):
I would hammer Texas in that game right now, I
absolutely would. All right, when we come back to the
tiraq dot com studios, let's dive all in on your tweets.

Speaker 3 (01:40:55):
We all know what today is, so is no surprise.

Speaker 2 (01:40:57):
What's today? Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:40:59):
Stop it.

Speaker 2 (01:41:01):
Monday?

Speaker 3 (01:41:03):
What's today?

Speaker 2 (01:41:05):
Are you kidding me? I don't know significance of.

Speaker 4 (01:41:08):
You know, the famous sayings in the world, like the
rain in Spain falls mainly, well, you know what today is?
The preseason is the free season. What the hell's wrong
with you? This is what I dominate football picks. It's
the preseason. We got a game on Thursday. The preseason

(01:41:28):
is the free season.

Speaker 8 (01:41:30):
You know that.

Speaker 3 (01:41:30):
I've been telling you that for like a decade.

Speaker 2 (01:41:34):
Again, another one of your baseless claims.

Speaker 3 (01:41:37):
That's not true. To stop that. Take that back right now.

Speaker 2 (01:41:41):
You actually quit stopping two years ago the preseason because
it was so bad.

Speaker 4 (01:41:45):
No, no, I had maybe what out of the last decade,
I had maybe one bad preseason. Otherwise, the preseason has
been the free season.

Speaker 2 (01:41:54):
We know that stops true, but that is true.

Speaker 4 (01:41:58):
Even Todd Furman knows well, we have it bought. He
even knows that the preseason is the preseason. That's why
they limit your betting in Vegas on the preseason games
because they don't want to get clobbed again.

Speaker 2 (01:42:10):
You can open up your phone on an app and
do anything you want.

Speaker 4 (01:42:15):
The limit, No, they limit your betting on it because
they don't want to get clobbered.

Speaker 3 (01:42:20):
They'll say, no, no, that's enough.

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
I've known individuals right, but I've never heard of it
overall that big of a of a potential loss, where like, oh,
you can only bet this much on an event. I
just don't think that's true unless it's you and you're
so success. It's these casinos have shut you down, so

(01:42:43):
they minimize the amount of money you can bet on
the play. I think of preseason because it's such a liability.

Speaker 4 (01:42:48):
I think on preseason football the most will take from
anybody is like five thousand dollars. I could double check
out with it with Todd, but I'm pretty sure there's
a there's a limit on the preseason games. Now you
get to go and go to different casinos if you're
feeling so good on a certain game. But that's why
they do that because you could get a big advantage.
A lot of people love preseason football because you can

(01:43:11):
get a big advantage. I always tell you that's why
people are listening today because they know. We know what
today is. It's the preseason starting on Thursday. We got
one game and already knows who's gonna win, so we
have to wait a round for him to tell us
who's gonna win.

Speaker 2 (01:43:25):
The countdown is I'm sure just enraging to some people
who just want you to give their picks. But all
show live for you to give your pick for the
Bears game on Thursday.

Speaker 3 (01:43:36):
Do you know how many people are gonna bet that game?

Speaker 2 (01:43:38):
I'm sure a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:43:39):
Oh, your damn right, a lot of people are gonna
bet it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:42):
By the way, I'm not afraid to let you know
when you're right. Bill Fletcher at Fletch for Ohio did
find a ranking from some guy I've never heard of
before with twenty four to seven sports that had your
duo as one of the top five duos pass catcher
receiver to tell you and McMillan, you're trying to tell me.

Speaker 3 (01:44:04):
I'm trying to tell you we've got one guy, one guy.

Speaker 4 (01:44:07):
Yes, we have a great quarterback at a great wide receiver,
and we're going down in conference. It's unbelievable. Way, I
don't understand what's the big problem here.

Speaker 2 (01:44:16):
You're not going down in conference. You are gonna be
what you were in the Pac twelve. That's the thing.
There's maybe one or two schools that moved to a
conference and either dipped or got better. Louisville might be
one of them. They dipped, but they might be pretty
good this year too. You are who you were. You're
not magically gonna be better. You're playing the same type

(01:44:37):
of competition. Oklahoma States like playing Oregon State. Oh, Kansas
State not quite to Oregon's level, but.

Speaker 3 (01:44:45):
They're no not quite A don't even stop that.

Speaker 2 (01:44:49):
But Washington had their one good season, Oklahoma States had
their one good season in ore When you come in SC,
you really you'll put USC and that makes uh And
then I'm sorry, Julian, your support of Arnie has led
to you getting blocked by me. Wow, Julian, Wrights don't
let plank bother you. You have fun of the one

(01:45:10):
of the funniest or funnest radio sports shows on the radio.
Otherwise I would not listen. Well, Julian, you are biking blocked.
Never again will Julian get anything out of me. I
just can't. It enrages me because you'll put down college
football and you put down betting lines, and then all
you do is tell me about Arizona. It's like I'm
doing a show with Jason Smith.

Speaker 4 (01:45:30):
I'm looking forward to the SEC a lot just because
of your Oklahoma sooners. No, I love watching the SEC
football anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:45:37):
You know what I can't wait to do? I can't
since since we're just going to talk about our teams,
I can't wait for Oklahoma to kick the snot out
of Tennessee. That's kind of what I'm looking forward to
more than anything Tennessee, just because Scott he's been on
here talking trash about it on Twitter.

Speaker 3 (01:45:52):
I thought, if you could pick one team that you
wanted to kick the snot out of, it would have
been Alabama. Texas well, but you've you know, yeah, but
you play them every year though, Texas. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:46:02):
No, I no if ans or butts about it. Nobody,
every one that gets more hype than Texas, right, But I.

Speaker 3 (01:46:09):
Just met you know, one of the new teams in
the SEC.

Speaker 2 (01:46:12):
Probably Tennessee, just because they're the first one, and yeah,
they're they're they're over hyped. They're in the exact same
spot pretty much at Oklahoma is only they have a
quarterback who had a good bowl game while ours had
a bad bowl game. Tennessee, you might brag about their
defensive line. Oklahoma's better in the secondary, They're better at linebacker,

(01:46:33):
They're better at skill positions. I think they're gonna send
a message to college football and beat the ever love
and snot out of Tennessee in we I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:46:42):
Know how far college football are behind NFL and the
ratings wise, but I think college football is gonna have
a just a boom this year with all the different
conferences and we you know, with the UCLA and USC
up there in the Big Ten and you guys in
Texas joining the SEC. I know, Arizona's not gonna moved
in the you know, or Utah or Colorado in the

(01:47:03):
Big Utah mony Colorado.

Speaker 2 (01:47:06):
Now, Colorado moved it last year and they stuck.

Speaker 3 (01:47:08):
But you guys going to the SEC.

Speaker 4 (01:47:11):
There's gonna be so much, so much excitement, for so
much hype about it.

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
You know, it's gonna be fun. And I say this
a lot. I truly think that the battle for who's
gonna get, you know, the top four spots is gonna
be interesting. But ranking five, six, seven, and eight. Whenever
we get to the playoffs, that's home games. You're hosting
a home playoff game. Then the battle to see who's
in and who's out. What's that gonna look like eleven

(01:47:36):
and twelve and who's left out at thirteen and fourteen? Right?
I mean, can we have a three loss SEC team
get over a one loss ACC or big twelve team.

Speaker 4 (01:47:45):
That's that's gonna be the big, the big story. That's
it's how many losses can you have to get on end?

Speaker 2 (01:47:50):
It's gonna be so fun. But we we got a
little bit of time. We got a little bit of
time before we get there.

Speaker 3 (01:47:55):
You know what when is the first week? When is
week one? August?

Speaker 2 (01:47:59):
Last week? The last weekend in August, that's the full
opening weekend. It would then be the twenty third, so
it's that that week zero.

Speaker 3 (01:48:07):
Got So it's getting here, it's getting here.

Speaker 2 (01:48:10):
Sooner rather than later. Steve Seger is here. He's ready
to wrap things up tonight with our final look at
what's trending on the show tonight was going on, Steve.

Speaker 9 (01:48:18):
There are just four games on Saturday, August twenty fourth
in college football, and pretty much everything the next weekend,
which includes Saturday August thirty. First, I did note that
when you brought up Syracuse football next year, the Chick
fil A kickoff game is Tennessee Syracuse.

great weekend. They won their fourth straight, beating Colorado again

and one of the Giant starting pitchers yesterday was Blake Snell.
He struck out fifteen in only six innings. In other words,

(01:49:03):
fifteen out of the eighteen outs were strikeouts, which is
the highest percentage by any pitcher in any game in
the history of Major League Baseball. When you throw a
minimum of six innings in the game, and it was
a doubleheader sweep. Remember the Rockies. According to stat Zinc, yesterday,
they swung and missed at a pitch sixty four times

de la Crue had four stolen bases for the Reds,
he's up to fifty five already. Andy had three hits,

(01:50:05):
but the rest of the Reds three for twenty nine
at the plate, and so Tampa Bay only had three
hits total. As a team and three airs on defense,
and they still won because the two runs in the
eighth were on a wild pitch, on a strikeout, and
on a basis loaded walk. Toronto won its third straight game,
beating Texas again seven to three. The Rangers acquired catcher
Carson Kelly from Detroit. San Diego had picked up a reliever,

opener one, ten to eighty four over Serbia. Kevin Durant,

(01:51:33):
back from the calf injury in seventeen minutes off the bench,

the floor in the first half. The shooting from three

Speaker 9 (01:52:42):
I usually work Saturday.

Speaker 3 (01:52:43):
Okay, it's all I'm gonna make your work Saturday.

Speaker 9 (01:52:45):
You're going to be here Saturday.

Speaker 3 (01:52:47):
Oh yeah, I got next two Saturdays coming up.

Speaker 9 (01:52:49):
Two Saturdays, two Saturdays. Okay. I can prepare myself for that.
Thank you for the advance.

Speaker 2 (01:52:57):
My goodness, man's who's on the Who's on the Martin
Weiss is out next Saturday.

Speaker 3 (01:53:02):
Oh okay, Shelby with VJ. Husky, and then the following
Saturday it will be for Aaron Torres. He'll be out
so nice, we'll enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (01:53:11):
Arnie. Arnie is very big on having the schedule set
well in advance.

Speaker 3 (01:53:16):
I have to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:53:17):
That's the way it's got to be. I have to
make sure everybody I am not. I am last second.
If you need me, it's like, I'm here to do it.
You're you're much more advanced in the planning on that
front than I am. A couple of quick tweets to
get to before we get to I guess what you
all came for tonight, which is Arnie's picks.

Speaker 3 (01:53:33):
No, No, the preseason is the free se Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:53:36):
Eric Wright, after hearing that schedule of Zona is Bowl eligible,
that would be a good season for that team. I'm
saying five and seven and they are home for a
bull is Like.

Speaker 3 (01:53:46):
I know you guys are just trying to troll me,
but we all know. I mean, if you look at
the numbers, Arizona's up there in just about not only
every category, They're up there, like in one of the
tween numbers.

Speaker 2 (01:53:57):
Are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:53:58):
I sent you the well to get into the playoffs.
They're not far from being one of the teams to
get into the playoffs. Numbers wise, odds twise, yeah, oddsise,
odds twise yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:54:09):
Okay, great, But I mean I think his point is
well taken. It's a much tougher schedule then you're giving
them any credit.

Speaker 4 (01:54:17):
So I said to that that how many, right the
ponent chev in your schedule, Arizona had two, you guys
had six. Two is nothing, that's I mean, that's such
a boloney schedule.

Speaker 2 (01:54:27):
That's about what you had the last few years too.

Speaker 3 (01:54:30):
So I mean, no, we had a lot more in
the PAC twelve last year, Oregon Washington, No, yes we did.

Speaker 2 (01:54:37):
No, you didn't. You have probably two, yeah, two or three,
and you're gonna end up having more than two this
year too, because this is just on the preseason poll
right right, and you're going off where they were when
you played them too, So it's you're playing you're in
just as tough of a conference. I don't know else
to put it to you. You're gonna be exactly the

(01:54:57):
Big twelve what you were in the Pac twelve. You're
pretty good lif year, so maybe you got a chance.
I won't read what Darryl wrote.

Speaker 3 (01:55:05):
This is why did Daryl right? I didn't see.

Speaker 2 (01:55:09):
They're they're all pretty good from him tonight. There is
zero doubt in my mind that Arnie will be disappointed,
writes Bake Scotty. If Tennessee didn't get railroaded in Colombia
in twenty twenty two, they would have been in the
college football Playoff that year as well. See what I
told you When you start talking about, well, if we
didn't get railroaded here or there, every single college football

(01:55:29):
fan has a story about their team getting railroad railroaded
at some point. What right? Everyone got hosed, everyone got screwed.
So you're not alone on that one army.

Speaker 4 (01:55:38):
Nobody's been so long, and you know it's so fresh
from last year. Maybe that's why it's still in my
mind about it.

Speaker 2 (01:55:45):
That's what But we did the work, he writes, here's
that Miami Dolphins winning the Super Bowl in Arizona, winning
the conference A two leg parlay for a million dollars
would win you three hundred and twenty four mill. That's
got a lot of extra zeros on three hundred twenty
four million.

Speaker 4 (01:56:00):
So it's three hundred and twenty four to one. If
that's the two team parlay, I want to bet.

Speaker 2 (01:56:05):
But how are you to get a million dollars to
pay for?

Speaker 3 (01:56:07):
Well, I wouldn't bet a million. Maybe I bet like
a thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:56:10):
Okay, Randy Wrights tua is three and eleven against playoff
teams enough said.

Speaker 3 (01:56:16):
Yeah, that's the only thing you guys have to throw
back at me that I have no answer for.

Speaker 2 (01:56:19):
It's kind of important, and griddles make blackout rights. If
Arnie played an Olympic a table tennis player, his over
under for total points would be zero point five, and
I'd bet everything I have on the under. Do you
think you'd get at least a point on an Olympic
table tennis player?

Speaker 4 (01:56:38):
If we were even like the ones in the Olympics
we watch right now, if we were playing up to
twenty five, right, I'd probably get up to what do.

Speaker 3 (01:56:46):
They play up to twenty one? I'm sorry, twenty one
or two?

Speaker 2 (01:56:48):
I mean I think it's twenty one? I know why one?

Speaker 3 (01:56:50):
If? Okay, if we're playing up to twenty one, let's
say I would probably right now, i'd probably get about
seven to ten points. Really service, I have a really
good serve.

Speaker 2 (01:57:02):
Do you watch these guys.

Speaker 4 (01:57:03):
Yeah, jah, yeah, I got that's why you can. But
to serve you'll, we get two in a row. I
used to play as a kid. You get five in
a row, so obviously I didn't know the rules.

Speaker 2 (01:57:13):

a long time ago.

Speaker 8 (01:57:52):
Why didn't you a lot of like oh I used
to or they wanted me to, wow, like half you know.

Speaker 3 (01:57:58):
Wow, you're so mean. I've just told you the.

Speaker 8 (01:58:00):
Truth because you just you like to like flex to
like you didn't do it though, you.

Speaker 3 (01:58:05):
Know I didn't want the house. Sorry, I run a
different house.

Speaker 2 (01:58:11):
You don't do in the story. But there you go.
I know, I noticed Arnie that somebody add justice to all.
They blocked me, and I've never even heard of this
person before.

Speaker 3 (01:58:23):
I know, oh yeah, he wrote something to me.

Speaker 2 (01:58:26):
Are you sure to he No, I don't know who
it is anyone who has kamala as there they're what
what's it called their profile pick?

Speaker 3 (01:58:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:58:35):
Interesting, Yes, we can quite quite the phrase. There you go.
I got a big it's people that political, like really,
that's that's what they want to do. Like I haven't
understand with Trump, I've understood it with with Biden. Is like,
that's going to be your profile pick. Use a picture
of you like Arney does with his son soft if

(01:58:56):
you block me. And I've never even like gone back
and forth with you ing you are soft.

Speaker 3 (01:59:01):
I don't think I've ever been blocked. I don't think
i'd get. I've never really get.

Speaker 2 (01:59:05):
I'm sure you have.

Speaker 8 (01:59:06):
You probably think you definitely have.

Speaker 2 (01:59:07):
I would know, but you just never responded anything. And
I was going through some final tweets.

Speaker 3 (01:59:11):
I didn't see Darryl's tweets. Maybe he blocked me. I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:59:15):
Well, Darryl's just been tagging me. Oh that's about it.
Randy does write this before we get to your picks.
Talk about the Georgia football program, and they're twenty four
driving related incidents, including two deaths. Then last week one
of their wide receivers being charged for a second time
for child neglect and abuse. Yeah, Rabrah Thomas, that was
an ugly story. And here's a guy that transferred in

(01:59:36):
last year from Mississippi State. I get it. You're winning,
So that's all that matters right now to a lot
of people. But holy smokes, Arnie George's off the field
issues are wildly bothers me.

Speaker 3 (01:59:48):
It is. It's very troublesome. I mean all the uh.
But then again, we don't know how many of the
infractions were. Were there twenty four infractions? Moving in fractions? I
we don't know exactly, you know, whether DUIs where they're
just speeding. I just don't know the whole story. But
it does seem very concerning, no doubt about that.

Speaker 2 (02:00:07):
Absolutely. All right, take it away, stinking genius. It's time
for your picks. What you got, Chris.

Speaker 4 (02:00:14):
As I've been saying for a decade now, the preseason
is the preseason. This is what we come here, this
is what better's come for. They come for preseason football.
This is where we make our living, Chris. This is
where we start buying those extra cars, those islands, that

(02:00:34):
beach house that Klay Travis has. This is where the
pros make their money in the preseason.

Speaker 3 (02:00:42):
You understand that, don't you.

Speaker 4 (02:00:44):
Yes, That's why people waiting all show long just to
see who I'm taking. Because this is an important pick.
It's the first game, the first preseason game. This starts
the bankroll, It starts. This starts the momentum, Chris on
a great year to a great year in betting football.

(02:01:08):
So we start easy. The Bears are taking on the Texans,
and you know who we like? We love, we don't
just like we love. Give me some Chicago Bears minus
the two in that one, all right? Are you writing
this down? I am, And give me the over thirty

(02:01:34):
two as I think we're gonna see some defensive touchdowns
along the way.

Speaker 3 (02:01:39):
So I love the Bears minus to two and the
over thirty two. There you have my pick.

Speaker 2 (02:01:45):
Do with it?

Speaker 3 (02:01:46):
Is you pale no longer strictly, no longer strictly for
entertainment purposes only?

Speaker 2 (02:01:52):
So is this a fluid over under? Are you gonna
wait to make it official. Is this a fluid s
you're gonna wait to make it official? Are you saying
now in this moment, thirty two for your over, two
for your bet.

Speaker 4 (02:02:07):
That's what I'm saying right now for us. The preseason
is the pre season, my friend.

Speaker 2 (02:02:13):
I hope you make it through the whole season.

Speaker 3 (02:02:16):
Oh of course, stop.

Speaker 2 (02:02:17):
Of the preseason without quitting like you did two seasons ago.

Speaker 3 (02:02:21):
I had one bad preseason.

Speaker 2 (02:02:24):
One one. It's the last impression, that's the last thing,
all right, Arnie. I have a great week at joining
the Olympics. For Mary, I'm just thinking genius. I'm Chris
playing big benis next.
