Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Rado.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Well, good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning, Go morning,
good morning, buddy, happy happy Fox Football Saturday, where the
fellas Jason Fitz Anthony Garganto coming alive from the tire
rack dot Com studios.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Tyrack dot com. That's right, we'll help me get there.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Uh, i'd arn match selection, fast, free shipping, free roads
and protection. Over ten thousand recommended installers, tire rack dot com,
the way tire buying should be well. A blockbuster last
night overnight the Knicks get cat.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Man, that was a that was a a stunner last
night as uh we heard the the news and uh,
FITZI the cowboy steak.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
I got that coming, brother, I got that coming.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
What they got nobody to run the ball and they
got no receivers, My brother, and I told you that
before the season.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
How that felt good?

Speaker 5 (01:14):
You know what?

Speaker 6 (01:14):
I can't believe that some idiots sat here and said
you can be one dimensional and win twelve games. What
kind of idiot says that? I mean, by the way,
not for nothing. You're you're right, you know, And I
think it's it's pretty shocking that in a game where
we walk away.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
From it and saying, well, Dak, Dak is good.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
Dak's playing really well, and that was a good game
for Dak, and ceed was impactful in that game, and
even Ferguson had a good game. And you look at
it and say, okay, fine, all of those things happened,
and the offense looked inept. Right, It's just the offense
looked absolutely inept and against the Giants team that, let's.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Not get a twist, it is not particularly good.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
So the problem is that this is what not a
Thursday night football.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
We weren't good.

Speaker 6 (01:56):
This is a over and over and over again, the
offense doesn't look right this year.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
You you are absolutely I sat here all summer and said,
what change? What changed?

Speaker 6 (02:03):
And that even the minimal sixty one yards of production
they were getting from Pollard that I thought was pretty
easy to replace. It's just this offense right now is
such a shell of what it has been.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Nothing looks easy. It just I think it sid.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
I mean, I'm joking and stuff, but okay, the side
I mean, I don't for a life of me, and
this is what what I couldn't wrap moms around. How
do you went through the season with that backfield? Like, seriously,
how do you have to receive that backfield? And by
the way, other than CD Lamb, I mean Brandy Cook

(02:41):
is okay? Their receivers blow? I mean what else you got?
That One's was completely baffling to me that they went
into this season thinking that that was okay.

Speaker 6 (02:55):
I just think now again, and I will loudly scream
for anyone that's listening to the Fellows for the first time.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
First of all, where have you been?

Speaker 6 (03:03):
The Second of all, I have been the one that's
loudly said this will work because it keeps working. But
sometimes just because every time you drive down the road,
you know that the speed limits thirty five, and you
drive down it at sixty and you do it every
single day, and then eventually, like my house, they put
one of those big digital signs outside of my street
right where they clock the speed limit, and you know,

(03:26):
the minute they put one of those up, it means
that they're gonna start pulling people over, right, So people
fly down my street. It happens all the time. It's
not really a big deal. But now it's a big
deal because a couple of days ago they put two
cops out there, and what they do They spent the
whole morning just whoo wait, whoa pulling people over? Now
you might drive that street every single day going sixty
and you got away with it, but now today you

(03:47):
ain't getting away with it. It feels like the Cowboys, for
three straight years, winning twelve games with the one dimensional offense,
have just been getting away with it, and now all
of a sudden they're not. And you know, part of
this is the ego of thinking, hey, we can do
it this way and it works. Part of this is
just you know, the the the absolute I'm trying to
say this cut politely with Jerry Jones, but the ego

(04:09):
that you come in and say, hey, I know what
I'm doing, and now you're trying to backtrack it and say, well,
we couldn't afford somebody like Derrek Henry. Well, why, mister Jones,
why could you not afford Derrick Henry? Because you know,
most teams can figure things out on that. Look at
who the Eagles are affording on their team right now.
So I just the money's been spent in ways that
just doesn't make a lot of sense. There's been no discipline,

(04:29):
and all of a sudden, now a bad football team
gets on the field.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And you know it's funny because, yeah,
Pollard may not be Derrick Henry, but I mean he
was incredible back, incredible back who could also catch the
ball out of the backfield, do everything.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
I mean, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
They're trying out Rico Dawbell, right, They're they got you know,
they're high. Their hope, their hope is told Bert turns
into something, you know, I mean, and the defensively you're good,
but there's a lot of holes there. I mean, wow,
Daniel Jones almost through for thirty yards and he got

(05:13):
a rookie left tackle.

Speaker 6 (05:15):
And I was listening to much of the commentary of
the day after where people were just using that moment
to again say, well, Daniel Jones stinks, Daniel Jones sticks,
Daniel Jones isn't the reason they lost that football game
to me at all. Like the reason they lost that
football game was if you're the Giants. If I'm a
Giants fan, I'm looking squarely at table right now and

(05:35):
saying the hell you doing?

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Like you got third and goal.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
From the six, and you're you're throwing the ball to
a wide receiver on that little flare route at what
the four yard line and just thinking, Okay, he's gonna
make everybody miss, Like what are we doing? Like the
play calling made no sense in the red zone. And
I know that, you know, red quarterbacks get paid by
efficiency in the red zone. I understand that, But you
also got to have somebody that's at least given you

(05:58):
a shot at the poker game with the right cards.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Like I felt like.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
Daboll just was absolutely pathetic as a play caller. So
the Giants lost that game because their head coach calls
plays scared in the red zone absolutely over and over
and over again.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well, in fairness though, I mean he's got one weapon.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
I hear that.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
I hear that, But we got when you get your
job based on being great at something, you better be
great at something and you're not. Like the whole sales
pitch for table was that he was gonna turn Daniel
Jones into Josh Allen.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
Two point oh? Remember that?

Speaker 6 (06:31):
Like, and do we see anything out of this play
calling that is even slightly reminiscent? Like I understand who
they got, but like they at some point, you've got
to have that play that you feel like, man, we
can draw this one up in the sand to do
this over and over and over again and give ourselves
a shot. Have you seen any moment this season like
the Giants just feel like the team logo that they

(06:53):
all smack on the wall as they walk out should
be subtle for a field goal like that should just
be the team logo at this point.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, but I just think that they are. I think
Dangel Jones is a human field goal. I mean, I'll
be honest with you. I mean, he played fine, that
might even played all right. Well, he's pretty louse the game.
But let's not get it twisted. He isn't any good.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, he's a mediocre. He's mediocre.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
He's not mediocre, Dude, He's not. He's not good. He's
just not. He's not a good quarterback.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
He's a he's a bottom like bad team starter is
what he is.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
I get.

Speaker 6 (07:36):
I feel like he's if he had everything around him perfect,
he'd be okay, okay, Like I'm we're really mincing words
on mediocrity here, like stay.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I mean, like I would like I don't know what
to say, like other man, he's not he's not he's
sub mediocre, like he's subterranean.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
He's not good.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
When I think stinks. Man, he's but.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
He's a bottom third bottom, I mean fourth, dude.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
I hate Daniel Jones.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
I don't know why I said nothing redeemable about Daniel
Jones as a quarterback.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Look like, I mean, listen, he didn't play poorly Thursday night.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Like, I like, I agree with you that he's not
the reason they lost the game.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
But he's not good. I mean he's not. I mean
he's not He's not like a quarterback. I I mean.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
I was part of a wildly viral moment covering the
draft when he was when he was drafted. You know,
everybody remembers the clip of Mina chimes falling when the
Giants actually drafted Daniel Jones. What people forget that she
literally fell into my chair because I was hosting that
draft show. And I think, you know, it's funny to
me because in that moment, I didn't like to pick.

(08:56):
I think part of the reason I've always let me
say this, maybe I am less harsh on Daniel Jones
because I thought he was overdrafted by an organization that
made a mistake and that changed so much to the
perception of him by so many people that part of
me is just like, yeah, he is who I thought
he was gonna be. Like he's fine quarterback, you know,
and what does that mean to me? He's like in

(09:18):
the same he's in the same barrel of fishes most
of the mediocre quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
He might be at the bottom of that barrel. But like,
I don't know, when I think.

Speaker 6 (09:26):
Stinks, I think, like, oh man, my quarterback is just
never gonna win me game. And I think I think
Daniel Jones can win a game here or there. I
just consistently. I mean, if if he was a quarterback
of the Raiders, I would not feel like I had
hope going into the season as a fan, that is
for sure.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
No, I mean he's not a start.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Put it this way, right, Like we know the dearth
of talent at the quarterback position, right, He's not a
starting quarterback on a if like if you if you
want to have a chance, he can't be your quarterback.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Do you think, and I'm genuinely asked.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
She's starting because there's just not enough good quarterbacks, that's
the bottom line.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
Do you in a world where we've seen the resurgence
of Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, do you think with
with like a guru around Daniel Jones that there's that
there's clay there that can be molded, or do you
just think that even with the guru, he's still that
best Gardner.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Minshew's Garner Minshew best. Yeah. I don't.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I don't see anything you give him, Like Malik Nighbors
is a great player's great young talent, great young talent.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
But that's all they have.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
They have a mediocre offensive line, you know, and then
they have a tight end that is okay, probably mediocre
to bad. Uh And then you know, I like, well,
I'm dale, you know, I think he's all right. But
you know, to your point, it's not like they have

(11:00):
a ton of weapons. If the Barkley, I mean, that
would make Jones look better, right, but ultimately you're not
winning anything if he's your quarterback.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
I mean, I just I'm just that's just what I believe.
I just don't think he's any good.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
And I it's it's amazing to me that I look
at that division and that division's not that good, but
the entire division now, I like, I think Washington's got
hope obviously. I mean, yeah, I like the kid. I
mean I think, you know, Jaydon Daniels. We talked about him.
He's he's got a men's talent. I love that he

(11:39):
scrambles to throw. Uh, he's going to be really good.
They don't have a defense. They don't have a defense,
and he's benefiting a little bit because there's been no
tape on them.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
But you know, Washington's headed in the right direction.

Speaker 6 (11:56):
Though, like quickly I'll say this, it was so much press,
but I think Jayden Daniels is the rare, incredibly mobile,
but he is still at his core a pocket passer, right,
and like so he can beat you anyway.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
Like I know, we're worried about his frame and all
of those things.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
But also not for nothing, Cliff Kingsbury has done a beautiful.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Job of just opening that offense up like a flower.

Speaker 6 (12:20):
Let's remember that the Bears had a chance to hire
Cliff Kingsbury and chose not to. Right, you know, I
just think when we sit here and talk about Kayleb
Williams and what works and what doesn't work, I mean again,
I'll throw my beloved Raiders under the bus. You know,
they offered him. He wanted a three year contract. The
Raiders only give two year contracts to assistant coaches, they
refuse that third year. As a result, he's not the

(12:40):
offensive coordinator of the Raiders. Do I believe that team
would be better if he was the offensive coordinator?

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (12:45):
I do.

Speaker 6 (12:45):
So, you know, I think Cliff Kingsbury has done a
just a masterclass here with how to develop and give
the playbook to a young quarterback.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
So, you know, Jayden Daniels is absolutely It looks.

Speaker 6 (12:57):
Like right now the Washington Commanders have the most important
thing they needed this season, which is an answer what
their quarterback position looks.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Like for the future.

Speaker 6 (13:03):
I'm really happy for Washington fans right now because they
get that glory. But you're right on the other side
of the ball. It is just that they are a
liability in some ways for sure.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Well.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, and it's the it's a whole beginning of the build.
I'm just talking about the I just brought up on
is the beginning as to just to discuss that division. Yeah,
and they But I'm with you, I mean, I loved
I think Daniels.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
I agree with you. I mean he's a thrower, uh,
I mean, you look where his eyes are.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
He made a play the other night at the goal line,
hit the ball to like the eight yard line, and
he threw a touchdown pass right inside the right at
the goal line, and.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
I got a frame.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
It was the first down and ready to the goal
line and just outside of it, and he slid beautifully
in the pocket and he just makes it a great
throw that was on the money. He's a talent, he
really is. He's he's gonna be He's gonna be good.
I agree with you one hundred percent that Kingsbury is.
He's he's there's these offensive coaches that just have it,

(14:10):
and he's got it. He's that guy. I'm one hundred
percent with you.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (14:16):
And there is a such an element here of just
where do you find your hope from?

Speaker 3 (14:22):
For that?

Speaker 6 (14:23):
And you look at that division, You're right, the Cowboys stink,
the Giants stink. The Eagles have everything you could possibly.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Need to be the best tom in the division. And
I have no idea.

Speaker 6 (14:33):
I think Jalen Hurts made a fair point that I
don't understand why people were trying to blow up. I
think it was McAfee yesterday. They was talking about, you know,
the quote that he doesn't know his identity yet. The
team doesn't know their identity yet because they haven't had
the pieces on the field together. I think the important
part of that point is that early in the season
the Eagles got to figure out some things on getting
healthy right, you know, a number of games.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
So I agree with that, but I agree with their identity.
Who they are at their core is a downhill running team,
and they don't want to be a downhill running team.
When you have sae Kwon Barkley and that offensive line,
you need to be a downhill running team. And now

(15:15):
you're blessed with two great receivers aj Brown and one
great one and another one very good in Devonte Smith,
and they can compliment you. But at your core, you're
a downhill running team, and they don't want to be that.
They want to throw the ball and Jalen Hurts is
not the quarterback that you want to throw the ball

(15:37):
forty times with.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
You don't. It's unnecessary.

Speaker 6 (15:42):
It is funny to me because sometimes, look, I know,
real football and video game football are two very different things,
but I think that one similarity is that anybody that's
ever played Madden, like, sometimes you just lose control of
what you were trying to do.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
When you're just kid.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
You get in the moment you're like, how have I
thrown the ball fifty times this game? I did not
mean to do that, As dumb as it sounds. I
think there are some offensive coordinators that fall into the
same and head coaches that fall into the same trap
of just losing control of the game plan because it's
fun to do other things, and like it is, it's
it's a weird, interesting dynamic that we forget. The human

(16:18):
element of calling a game is such an art and
it takes so much discipline. It's it's just it's undervalued.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
Sometimes.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, I agree, I completely agree. They're they're uh, you're
spot on. I mean sometimes you just it does just
get away from you. But the owner loves to throw
the ball. He does not like a run a run
first team. Uh. The general managers the same way. I mean,

(16:49):
if they want to, they want to throw the ball,
except they're not built that way. And Jalen's not that quarterback.
Jalen is best when he's not throwing the ball that
many times, because you know why, maybe he's got a
clean pocket, Like you've give him a clean pocket. He
can drive the ball down the field, but he doesn't

(17:12):
have the he doesn't have the the forty like that quarterback,
and they're rare, like it was most quarterbacks.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
You shouldn't throw the ball forty times a game, right,
But like you know.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
It's not as like to say he should be you
dial it back because he becomes better. It's just it's
basic football. But but because of Madden, they're they're another
one like that coach thinks it's, you know, a video game. Sometimes, Yeah,
I can't read, can't read the game. He's struggling to

(17:47):
read the read the game. He messed up again last week.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
I don't know how you fix that too. I mean,
we're being honest.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
That's I think that's tendencies from coaches in those moments
to fix.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, you know, I just think right now, he's swimming
I think he's he's well, you know, he's in the
deep end of the pool, paddling right, like trying to
stay afloat. That's every place, every decision, he's trying to
hit a grand slam where it's like, dude, just do
the obvious.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
He's just gotta he's got to calm down.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Like last week, there's no excuse not to take the
three before halftime.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
It was that was a horrible call.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
I mean he may again he made Day one despite
of him, but despite of his calls.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Now you know, I you know, I just think he
needs to calm down.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
I mean, he feels like he's very again on edge,
and he feels like he needs every every decision has
to be like going to win you the game with
that one decision. Just dude, it's football. It's not that deep, right,
Like you know, you got to read it. Shoot what

(19:06):
I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
And if if you know that, if we know that,
everybody watching film knows that the locker room knows that too.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
That's the one thing too that.

Speaker 6 (19:16):
You know, being around so many of these locker rooms,
one of the easiest things for a coach to do
unintentionally is lose faith from the guys that are inside
the building.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
Even if even if everybody.

Speaker 6 (19:26):
Says the right things, like once you see some of
the as you said earlier, his decision costs them points.
You only do that so many times before the whole
locker room looks on and says, yeah, this guy just
doesn't have it. I do think that's a that's a
factor we have to remember.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, all right, we got.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Lots to get to where the fellas are just getting
started a monster game tonight Georgia, Alabama.

Three cluck a winning moment for the University of Miami
Miami Sports Network there with the call as the seventh
ranked Hurricanes moved to five and oh holding off the
Hokey thirty eight to thirty four as Virginia Tech launched
a hail Mary as time expired. It was initially ruled
a complete a catch in the end zone, and it
looked like the Hokies would win it, but upon further review,

(21:34):
it was ruled that the receiver caught the ball out
of bounds, so incomplete pass and Miami ends up winning it.

Speaker 12 (21:41):
Rutgers don't look now.

Speaker 8 (21:42):
The Scarlet Knights are four to oh and they get
their first win in the Big Ten this season, beating
Washington twenty one to eighteen. In the NBA blockbuster deal
as a Knicks acquiring Carl Anthony Towns from the Minnesota
Timberwolves in exchange for Julius Randal and Donovan devon Chenzo.

(22:06):
protected first round pick from New York via the Pistons,
and the Hornets reportedly will be a third team in
the deal, and they will receive a draft compensation for
helping make the trade. Happen. Major League Baseball. Marlins manager
Skip Schumacher reportedly will not return next season. He informed
his team of that news after the team's fifteen to

My brother, Oh, this is.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Gonna be a great game that I I cannot wait.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
And we're gonna learn a lot.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
About does Georgia have enough skill? Do they have enough
do they have enough playmakers? We're gonna find that out tonight.

Speaker 6 (23:25):
Yeah, because here's the thing right now, the difference between
these two teams.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
In my mind is that third and five.

Speaker 6 (23:31):
I know, I have a good idea of what Alabama's
gonna try and accomplish third and five. I have no
idea what George is gonna try and accomplish. Like oversimplification here,
but they don't have brock powers, they don't have lad McConkey,
and that's made a massive difference in that offense just
hasn't George's offense hasn't looked good enough. And you know,
it doesn't mean that they don't have all the talent
in the world, because they certainly do. But Alabama has

(23:54):
sort of surprised me this year with their ability to
beat you two ways. They can body blow and jab
you down the field play at a time. They can
also Mike Tyson knockout punch you from literally anywhere. And
Jaylen Milroe and Kaylyn de Bore the head coach, the
new head coach for Alabama really seemed to get on
the same page last week.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
The last couple of weeks, the last couple.

Speaker 6 (24:13):
Of games have been so much better for what they're
trying to accomplish. He's getting the best out of Milroe,
not just throwing the ball, but also letting him be mobile.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
Man, Alabama looks dangerous.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
And I thought this was going to be a little
bit of a cultural rebuild for Alabama, Like takes a
minute for a new coach to step into those shoes.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
But it doesn't look like it. I'm I'm stunned.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
I'm saying this, but I really feel like this is
Alabama's game to win.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
This is this Alabama.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
I feel the same way. I'm like, man, I like Bama.
What it is.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
I like Bama, And I keep thinking I should like Georgia,
but I my guts telling me Alabama and that, and
like you think the same thing. Well, you know, I
thought this was going to be a bit of a
train transition year, like they were still gonna be good.
I do like Jaln Milroe. I I we talk about him.

(25:05):
I mean, you know, I mean, what's not the like, uh,
he's become a thrower.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
We saw him.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
We chronicled his rise last year, right his first year
at the Helm, and you know, he had a was
by week five four he started to really started to
throw the ball down the field. He had some big moments,
right and so, and then you got Ryan Williams, who

(25:33):
got what a great story he is. I mean this
battle teams feels dangerous. The other aspect is the Georgia Front.
I mean, when you put all that town into the NFL,
you're gonna feel it, right, And that Georgia defense is good,
but it's not it doesn't feel like it's the last

(25:54):
couple of years.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (25:56):
I think part of your point there is that the
Georgia deep it's being good isn't as good. That front
being good isn't as good as what we've seen, Like
that front has been spectacular, right, and there is a
an ability to restock the cupboard that we've watched allab
Mammadoo for years and we really got to the point
over the last couple of years it felt like that's Georgia.
We know they're recruiting rankings all the time. We understand

(26:18):
that they constantly have a ton of talent. The presumption
is always going to be that well, next man up
is going to be better at Georgia than it is
at most other places because they have so many incredibly
talented talent kids playing there. It just feels like this year,
while they're good, they're not epic, They're not you know,
you're not staying up all night saying, oh my god,
how do we stop these guys? And that's what you've
been doing for the last several years. So you know

(26:41):
you're gonna have to be great. You're really gonna have
to disrupt Milroe. And the interesting thing about the way
he plays the game is that this is that age
old What do you do when you've got that quarterback
that can beat you so many different ways? You're really
going to if you spy Milroe, then you're gonna give
matchups on the outside you don't want to take on.
So you can't spy Milroe, which means your defensive line

(27:01):
is going to have to absolutely win at the point
of contact over and over and over again. One one
bad play by one interior defensive lineman is going to
turn into a thirty yard rip by Jaylen Milroe.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
So it's right, that's right, that's a great point. That's
a great, great point, man. And the other thing that
that Georgia's obvious. You know, they missed Bowers, they missed McConkey,
They just missed those playmakers. And I think that's an
obvious statement.

Speaker 6 (27:32):
And we also thought though Carson Beck was going to
be this like transform like everything that we've seen from
guys like quinn Ewers this year is what we expected
from Carson Beck, and it's just hasn't. I know, he
doesn't have the weapons, but I think we thought that
Carson Beck was going to have that year, that he's
the tide that rises all ships, and that's not the case.
He just he looks a little uncomfortable. Nothing looks easy

(27:53):
so far. You know, it's it's a much different world
for him not having those safety blankets.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Yeah, And you wonder though, is it you know, he
he's also not he's also a pocket quarterback, right like
he he needs weapons around, like he's not going to
make splash plays and so you know, it's it's and
I'm with you, you know. And he does look like

(28:20):
he's labor I mean, certainly last week against Kentucky. No Kentucky,
good defensive whole thing, but he labored too much. I
just wonder, you know, when you have those, when you
have I hate to call Bowers and mccakee safety blankets, right,
like they're playmakers, and I don't know that they have

(28:40):
enough love it's good. I don't know they have enough
playmakers for him for him.

Speaker 6 (28:46):
To succeed, and it feels like to that end, there
isn't the same vibe with everybody yet, like it just
takes a minute, you know, and and we don't have
that minute in college football anymore, you know. So the
expectation is that day one you're gonna have it, and
it just it's all a little out of sink. It's
all a little like some of the throws feel like
they're a little late, some of the windows feel like

(29:07):
they open a little early.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
You know.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
It's like all of these different there's been miscommunications on
guys stopping on routes versus running through routes. And you know,
that happens because there is no preseason all the things
that we talk about, that happens. But when you are
competing to be the best team in the country, Like,
I think it's pretty interesting right now that you know,
while Ohio State is literally played nobody, like the local

(29:29):
whatever your local middle school is, would be a better
strict to schedule than what Ohio State's played so far.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
At least Ohio.

Speaker 6 (29:36):
State's using that moment to get some sink in, right
Like Texas feels like they've got some flow to what
they're doing Bama has flow to what they're doing. Tennessee
has flow to what they're doing. Like you talk about
the best teams in the country. Right now, it looks
the dreaded eye test looks much simpler than it does.
Things just look more laborious, if you will, at this
point for that Georgia offense, because it just feels like

(29:57):
they haven't gotten that rhythm together.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, listen, I think that's fair. I think it's fair.
This guy, I can't wait for that game. Man, that's
gonna be That's good being great.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Gay.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Now you brought up Texas. They are a blast to watch, dude.
They are something art They my God.

Speaker 6 (30:16):
Like, find me the weakness too, you know, Like somebody
asked me the other day, how do you beat Texas?
I mean, what's the answer to pray? And if your
answer is well, Texas always beats themselves every year. This
team is just different. It doesn't matter what what you know.
The Texas is back thing is not something that's on
the shoulders of this football team. God, they are talented
at every level on the offense end defensive side of

(30:37):
the ball. Like they're just there are very few teams
that have already shown the oh my god, level that
we've seen from Texas over and over and over again.
And that's just and the fact that you know, I'm
sure Arch throws a pick. They're they're not playing anybody.
But when your backup quarterback, because let's be clear, Arch
is still the backup. When your backup quarterback is as
good as Arch is too, that's just a differ. In

(31:00):
these new extended, longer college football seasons with longer playoffs
and more games. I mean, you're deep in every position,
including quarterback. That's a luxury most teams don't have.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Tex Not only it's funny think about it, right, They're
not only deep a quarterback. Arch.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
You could say is Viewers and Arch are the two
best quarterbacks in the country.

Speaker 6 (31:24):
I mean, I did a piece for Yahoo the other
day talking about the fact that, like, there's a very
real chance that there are two number one overall picks
right now because in a quarterback starved world, then you know,
all Quinn Ewers has to do is come back healthy
and continue to be quinn yours. He's going to be
in contention to be at the top pick. Somebody will
overdraft a quarterback and Arch. I mean, everybody's talked about

(31:46):
his potential for soul. There's a reason that his nil
money was stupid, right, Like, he's expected to be that good.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
It's just just.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
A rare moment of riches for sark And you know,
I also think that this is again to who' Steve
Sarkisi and has become him as a head coach and
a recruiter at Texas versus who he was in previous
iterations of that job. Sarcus done as just a beautiful job.
He really truly has been a great college football coach

(32:14):
so far. So I think that's a huge part of
this too. Like I think they have an advantage on
the field and they have an advantage on the sideline
right now.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
I agree, I spot on man totally with you. Let's
take quick quick too. We'll come back and they got
to talk about that trade that hit last night. Carl
Anthony Towns at the garden. Wow, it's bake. Where the
fellas right here Fox Sports Radio Fellas from the Tairaq

(32:46):
dot Com studios. Uh big trade overnight. We're gonna get
to but first time now for a little uh fitzy update,
this journey update.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
Who God you know?

Speaker 6 (33:06):
And every time I hear that, and only, hey, you
know what, I didn't know we were gonna.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Talk about this right now. But I'll tell you a
couple of things.

Speaker 6 (33:12):
Number one fun fact, you know, because I'm I'm at
this point, I guess it's probably I'm bulking.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
You can appreciate this.

Speaker 6 (33:19):
Like my weight has gotten as low my trainer said,
it's going to get as low as it's going to get, right,
So like now I'm in.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
The process of like I've kind of lost all the
weight I can lose.

Speaker 6 (33:27):
That number was like thirty seven pounds, I think, And
so you know, now now the number is inching its
way up, but it's inching its way up because I'm
lifting more.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
You will appreciate this. I now, before when I.

Speaker 6 (33:41):
First started bench pressing, I couldn't really bench press anything.
Now I am, actually I'm down to what one fifty
three someone of that range, and I'm I'm now bench
pressing more than I weighed when I started this journey.
So look at that, like, like, you know, I'm almost
to the point where I'm throwing up two hundred.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
I'm almost two.

Speaker 6 (34:01):
But I feel good about that for a little guy,
you know, for a little little little guy. But today,
as soon as we finish this, like this is just
new fitness me. I'll tell you this, Like I used
to hate things like you know, walks and everything like
I just like I always looked at fitness as a burden.
And now you know, the other night, I finished my

(34:21):
fantasy football show for Yahoo, and I looked at the
clock and I was like, man, it's only eight o'clock.
I can throw the game audio in my ears and
go get a few thousand steps in. So I walked
around the neighborhood, you know, like that.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
I do that a lot. I walk a lot. But today,
as soon as we finish our show, I am going
down the street.

Speaker 6 (34:38):
I've got a friend that she's gone wildly viral for
her work as a pilates instructor. So I'm going to
my first ever pilates class at the Little Common store
at the mall as soon as we finish, like and
then I'm gonna go do leg Day because I can't
skip leg Day, right, Like, you know, these these little
bird legs need the they need all the attention they
can get. So I'm double dipping today. I'm going pilates

(34:59):
into into leg Day. So you know, I don't have
the beefy legs like you do, like you've got power.
You can see when when cousin walks into the room,
you just see joy, joyful power.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
When I walk into the.

Speaker 6 (35:10):
Room, people are like, oh, man, like somebody let the
chicken out of the cage. So you know it's it's
it's different. But these little bird these little bird legs
are even get some work too.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Dude. That's awesome, man, that's great. That's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
How about your now when you're at the sports bar Sunday,
would you partake with I.

Speaker 6 (35:27):
Gave myself, you know what I gave myself. I went
to beat Ums and gave myself a little grace. I had,
you know, a little a little more food than I
would usually have a go as wild as I But like,
I've decided that Sundays mean so much to me that
I'm gonna give myself just a little bit, you know,
Like nothing wrong with having the occasional tiny splurge. So
that's that's a new development for me, as long as

(35:47):
I keep flocked in the rest of the week. The
hardest part about Sunday isn't Sunday, It's Monday. Because you
wake up from Monday morning, and you're like, oh, man,
like you know what, I'll get back on the egg
whites tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
This morning, I just want waffle, Like it's just all
right to be that way. So like I had to
lock it back in for sure.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
And the other thing, I don't know if I told you,
but I got myself like a tiny infrared sona for
the for the house, like a little that I can
sit in for recovery and everything. So I made sure
I sat in that Sunday. I did extra cardio Sunday,
so like I prepared my body for the fact that
I was going to give it just a little bit extra.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
It's gonna get a little extra food love through the
course of the day.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Like good.

Speaker 6 (36:25):
I if I stopped, Like my goal is to get
single digit body fat, you know, and I'd like for
my abs to have abs move in and maybe talk
to each other.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
That that's the long term goal.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
But if I stop today, like if if if today
is how I look the rest of my life, I'd
be really happy. So I'm trying to make sure that
I keep the motivation while also because you know, like
this is a journey for me and I really want
to accomplish this, but I'm also giving myself a little
bit of grace of realizing, hey, like things are good,
Like you know, yeah, it's a palpable difference.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
Now you're the tough part is over. Like, you know,
that's incredible I've done.

Speaker 6 (37:02):
Like like like I went from you know, a large
in pretty most shirts even though I was a little guy,
like I always been a little guy kind of always
most comfortable in a large to now like I had
to actually order some Smalls the other day, Like I'm
buying cheap clothes now because my body is changing constantly.
I'm always cheap anyway, but I'm buying like the cheapest
shirts I can. And actually I had to buy Smalls
the other day, which don't really fit in the shoulders.

(37:24):
But the if I get something that fits in the shoulders,
then the rest of me looks like I'm wearing, you know.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
My dad's T shirt. So yeah, that's that's my It's
a good dilemma to have. We'll see, We'll see how
it goes.

Speaker 6 (37:34):
You know, I'm gonna be full incredible hulk by the
end of this thing, Like even recognize the bulk.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
That's it, man, you will, You're going to be.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
Green, You've done a good job.

Speaker 6 (37:46):
Like I think of your kids often with this, because
like that's the other part of this working out lifting
things like that, because I was so focused on being
the best violinist I could as a kid, and you know,
the Juilliard thing and everything that was that was my life.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
You never worked, Yeah, you mean that you were a prodigy?

Speaker 6 (38:05):
Yeah, well yes, but I mean yes, but who cares that?

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Who cares that I lifted weights? Grow?

Speaker 7 (38:14):
No?

Speaker 4 (38:15):
But like, do you think there's an elementary.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Like like if you were a prodigy, dude, somewhat I
lifted weights, but no.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
But like when I finally found fitness, it wasn't even
until like I didn't even try to find any fitness
in my life until my mid thirties, right, So like
then you start just trying to stack all this to
go together when you're when you're you know, later in life,
and everything's just a little more difficult. So I do
think it's like I think it's cool when anytime I
see a family where kids are in the gym and
understand the importance of it and things like that, I
think it can really help life later on.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
Yeah, well, I peaked in high school.

Speaker 6 (38:46):
So, I mean, I was the best musician I ever
was when I was about twelve years old. Everything after
that was that none of the none of the plaques
that are on my wall, humbly were earned from my
greatness at that point.

Speaker 4 (38:59):
Like I was twelve, I.

Speaker 6 (39:01):
Was just you know, I was just on more successful
things when I was a little older.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
My Anthony just told me that he was pumped up
because he deadlifted three point fifty and he's a freshman
and uh and so he was like, daddy, daddy, you know,
I said, my only beef is she did it the
morning at game day. I was like, God, don't lifting
during game day. I tell him, don't do that. Where

(39:28):
the fellaws will come back. Lots to get to right here.
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Listen, Fox Sports Radio right Radio.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
Well, good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Good morning, happy happy Fox Football Saturday broadcasting live from
the tire rack dot Com studios.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
Ty rack dot com. We'll help you get there on
match selection, fast.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Free shipping, free road has a protection over ten thousand
recommended installers. Tire rack dot com. The way tire buying
should be fitzy. Uh. The Knicks trade is huge man
like Cat. So they get Cat for Randall and Dante DiVincenzo.
So they're five is freaking nasty. The Knicks five, damn

(40:18):
Like you look at it. You got Brunson and Bridges
at the two. That was another offseason acquisition Withcal Bridges,
who's a terrific play another one of the Nova players.
Uh Og at the three, Heart at the four, and
now Cat at the five. That's pretty that's pretty formidable

(40:43):
right there.

Speaker 6 (40:45):
Well, it definitely feels the need for the next two,
right They needed somebody like Cat in there.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
The only thing that I my first thought when I
heard this.

Speaker 6 (40:54):
News late last night was what version of feeling do
we have about Kat right now? Because we've seen moments
where I think all of us were universal and praise
for who he was becoming.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
Is the player blah blah blah blah blah. But I'll
go back to.

Speaker 6 (41:09):
Our conversations that we had during the playoffs last year
where it's like, man, it felt like the script flipped
and all of a sudden it became Anthony.

Speaker 4 (41:15):
Edwards deserves a better supporting cast than.

Speaker 6 (41:18):
Karl Anthony Towns like he wasn't good enough in some
of those moments, and so I want to be fair
to those conversations that you know we were having then
of is Cat really is Cat capable of being this
guy to someone's Michael Jordan And I'm not saying in
that same realm, but you know what I mean in
the analogy. So I think the good part about this
is that Kat goes to a roster that maybe is

(41:40):
more complimentary and allows him to do what he does
and be a little less like there's a little less
pressure on him to be some sort of Robin to
a Batman in a real, tangible championship way. For the Timberwolves,
I also think it was a sign that they knew
that that was sort of where things were head and
the Timberwolves roster feels a little clunky. Now this feels
like a good move for the Knicks, particularly because they

(42:04):
get a player that can we've seen really good from
and we've also seen the ability to handle the.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Moment from and also knows New York well.

Speaker 6 (42:13):
Like there's all of these little things that go into
playing at the Garden and playing for the Knicks that
I think have to be part of the conversation anytime
they acquire someone. So I feel like it's a good transaction,
but I feel like the name recognition of the transaction
is actually better in some ways than the basketball we
recently saw from Cat is in a transaction.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Yeah, I agree with that. I've never been the biggest
cat fan, to be honest with you.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
I mean, you know you were hard on him during
the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
Yeah, I respect, I love it.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
I think he comes up small, so you know, again,
but Randall wasn't going to play right like that.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
You had to move on from Randall.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Steven Chenzo's a nice role player, you know, he's a
depth piece, six seven, you know, sixth seventh man. Maybe
I had some moments in the playoffs, but he's a
sixth seventh man. So if you look at what they
gave up, you know, I like it. I like it.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Now. The pressure, if.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
You look at that team, that team's got great balance
to it, right, So the pressure should be good. So
you'll have, you know, Brunton as your star through such
great vers untility because Bridges can do a lot of
different things. He can facilitate score, play, defense, rebound.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
I'm a big, Bigcal Bridges fan. Heart is. You know,
he'll just gobble on boards for you.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
Which you need next to Cat and you got Mitchell
Robinson backing him up and then Og does everything right.
So you know that that's a pretty good roster. I
think they're thin at the wing. I'm not in love
with their wings because but you know, off the benches,
you know, I don't. I think they're pretty thin. But

(44:07):
I mean it's a pretty good, pretty good team. Not
as good as sixers, but it's a pretty good team.

Speaker 6 (44:13):
Well here's here's the way I look at some of
these things too. Over simplification, but an important over simplification.
Right now today as we sit, are the Are the
Knicks better than they were at the end of their
last regular season when it comes to try to actually
win like a championship?

Speaker 4 (44:30):
Are they better? And I think the answer to this
question is clearly yes.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (44:35):
Are the Timberwolves better today than they were at the
end of their season when it comes to winning a
championship for a team that went farther than any of
us expected.

Speaker 4 (44:44):
I don't know that. I believe that.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
So I think at a very core level, when you
look at the Lady Justice scales and ask yourself.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
You know, who wanted to trade in all of the
things that we do.

Speaker 6 (44:52):
Immediately afterwards, you could see exactly what the Knicks are
doing and exactly how they're getting better. I walk away
from the Wolves coorse of this and thing the Timberwolves
must have something else up there, sleep. There's gotta be
something else coming to to to sort of finish solidifying
what they're trying to be, because I don't think they're
more of a championship contender today than they were in June.

(45:13):
And I do think that this move at least gives
me more pause to rule out the next than I
would have a few months ago.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
My guess is from the Tea Wolves, it's it's more
of a Bill's Diggs situation.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
Mm hmm uh. That's my read on that trade.

Speaker 6 (45:33):
I mean, that's boy, that's a that's a great, great analogy.
I love that you better have Josh Allen and they do.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
But I think it takes Josh Allen.

Speaker 4 (45:47):
Yeah, that's fair.

Speaker 6 (45:48):
I just think it takes that's a that's a huge risk.
If you're just gonna go with the we're gonna have
a lot of a lot of pieces.

Speaker 4 (45:55):
That's a that's a a big old risk. Makes me
a little makes me a little uncomfortable. It's also the
But to your point.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
Think about what you said earlier though, and you're right,
I mean he can't have some major, small moments in playoffs.

Speaker 4 (46:09):
Yeah, you're right about that.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
My god, I mean I mean remember he got bedged
mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (46:14):
And like I said, I mean in June July, you
were you were universally like you were judged, judy your standard.
They're not taking any of it, not hearing any of it.
And you were tough on cat and I think that
was fair and honest in that moment. So that's you're
right that there has to be some sort of a
process of how you're going to get to maximizing Anthony

(46:35):
Edwards because.

Speaker 4 (46:35):
That's where they are now.

Speaker 6 (46:36):
Like how do you how do you go through this
moment and make sure that you don't become one dimensional
with one of the best young players in the NBA.
Like that's it's going to be a trick for Minnesota
moving forward. You know, it's something they'll have to figure out.
It's just the concept of we're going to spread the
ball around basically, like if we use the Bills analogy,
We're going to spread the ball around and trust that

(46:58):
our best is going to be an MVP, and that's
what the Bills did, and it's working so far, no
doubt about that. It's just the antithesis of what we
think of in the NBA. For years, we thought, oh,
you gotta have a you gotta have a holy triumvirant.
You gotta have the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
You gotta have the big three to build around. And
then it became no, you gotta have the big two.
Well now it's like the Big one and a half

(47:18):
for Minnesota, like and and it already was the Big
one and a half. If you if you're not a
big Cat fan, but I I would have loved I
would love to see some portion of this.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
You're pretty like they won. Their bench was big, they
were deep. Remember remember nights where the bench would go off?

Speaker 4 (47:39):
Yeah, I mean is.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
That Divino nas angles f firepower off the bench? You
got an Alexander Walker still, Oh man, that's it's a
deep team he got, you know, because here's the thing,

(48:02):
I don't know what Randall's got. You know, he was
hurt a last year, but you know, between him and
Go Bear, you're gonna they're gonna rebound. So they're going
to board it's the little The only thing is, man,
they're a little old with Gobert and mc connelly and Randall.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
Yeah, and what version of Randall? I mean, what are
we getting out of random?

Speaker 3 (48:30):
Well, I know that's the thing. I don't I don't know.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
I mean, well, you know his game, I mean, his
game is I mean, that's that's what he does. Rebounds,
you know, so you know he can be a volume
score if you need him. You know, you just can't
count on him. He dominates the basketball down lot. But
I mean he's natural those he could score down load.

(48:54):
He's got good post moves, you know. I mean, it's
I'm trying to think. I mean, I kind of like it.
I'll be honest with you. I mean, because I do
think it's.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
We heard it.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
I mean, they just played the sound bite about Josh
Allen talking about fourteen talking about Diggs, and he the right.
I mean, everybody said the same thing. Oh my god,
look at those receivers, Oh my god. And I mean,
the bills are annihilating people. And he was Listen, I

(49:32):
like Stefan Diggs more than I like Cat in the
cross sport comp but he still was that.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
He was a pain of the ass if.

Speaker 6 (49:45):
Was he not yet, You're right, you're sometimes additioned by subtraction, right,
You're right about all of that. And I do think
it's really fair to say that the circumstance, maybe Cat
gets maybe we can the best version of Cat by
being out of Minnesota. Maybe we were never going to
get the best version of Cat in Minnesota. If I'm

(50:06):
Anthony Edwards, so I'm just looking around and I'm thinking, Okay,
Like I understand that there was good and bad from Cat,
and I understand that now we're gonna have more people
and we're deeper team and all of these things. But man,
there is there is absolutely no wiggle room if we're
just being honest about where they are this season, no
matter what Cat would have provided. I don't think that
the de Vincenzo or Randall suddenly gives wiggle room for

(50:29):
you know, for Anthony Edwards to have a bad week,
Like that's just not you know that there's no wiggle
room to suddenly make them. I don't think this tandem
makes them better than Denver, right, Like, so these are
the things that we constantly look at that you know,
if you're Anthony Edwards, you're this young superstar and what
do we do. When Giannis was a young superstar for

(50:50):
the Bucks before they won their title, it was all
Kim Milwaukee put enough around him, cam like this constant
pressure of when's you know, when's Gianni is.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
Gonna decide he doesn't want to be a Buck. Of
these things that were being.

Speaker 6 (51:01):
Said at the time that I thought were frustrating, But
we're gonna start saying those same things about Anthony Edwards
and the Timberwolves if they aren't able to put some superstar.

Speaker 4 (51:10):
Power around him that really works.

Speaker 6 (51:11):
And I just don't know that, Like I hope, I
hope Randall is is healthy and rejuvenated and the best
version of himself and all of a sudden we get
something that's beautiful to watch. I don't walk away from
this moment feeling that that's inevitable for Minnesota. I think
there's a better chance that the Knicks get the best
out of Cat than there is that the t Wolves
get the best out of what they got in return.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Yeah, but it's not you're not looking for you know,
Julius Randall five years ago.

Speaker 4 (51:38):
That's fair.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
Yeah, Oh, you're just looking bored.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Give me, you know, sixteen points a game and and
ten rebounds and you and go bear clean the get
clean the glass, and you're gonna play twenty seven minutes,
you know, thirty minutes. You don't have to play like
in New York where you're playing forty four men. It's
I got a deep bench. I mean, sometimes it's not

(52:04):
about you know, big twos and threes, and sometimes it
is about like that Pistons team because.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
Edwards is all that.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
Yeah, and so you have a legitimate, legitimate, you know,
top five player, and then if you're deep, I don't know,
and you can rebound and play defense.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
There's something to be said for that.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
I mean, Jaden McDaniels is a good defender, he can
lock down on threes. Connley's a good veteran point guard.
I don't know, I kind of, I kind of. I
think it's interesting. I think it's a great it's an
interesting trade for like, for for both teams and for
the Knicks, you know, I mean it's the beauty the
Knicks is that it's Brunson's team and he's a great leader.

(52:55):
Like I love Bronson. I just think Brunson is a leader.
He he's he I think everything around him fits he'll
be interesting.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
I'm fascinated by it. I don't know. Now they got
Mitchell Robinson backing up Towns, but.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
Embeid owns Towns. Embead owns him all the matchups. Joe
Well just is Daddy in those matchups.

Speaker 6 (53:30):
I mean that, And to that end, that's the other
portion of this conversation is like, do you think that
now today as we stand, the Knicks are suddenly the
cream of the crop of the East.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
I don't. I think that they're exciting though, if you.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Still have Boston one, I think you saw have that
the Sixers too, And then I go, then I put
the next three.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
Milwaukee can't be in the top three with Doc Rivers
as your coach.

Speaker 4 (53:59):
Yeah, I mean talk about a fall off.

Speaker 6 (54:03):
Like when we were sitting here at one point and
being and saying, wow, how many can how many can
Yannis win in Milwaukee? And now it just feels like God,
every time they make a move, it just feels like
it's the wrong move, and it's the not only is
it the wrong move, but it feels like a move
that's made too late, Like it just feels like scratching
and calling it at something that just isn't there for
them right now, and I don't. I don't have an

(54:24):
easy solution for Milwaukee.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
But I don't understand them. I don't understand the why
they're so impatient.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
I think it's sort of seeped into.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
They shouldn't have fired. I don't know why you fire
your coach. I don't know. I still don't. That made
no sense to me.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
And then you bring a doc like, really, he's the guy,
He's the ant I get you over the hump guy.

Speaker 4 (54:52):
Yeah, there's there is he's the.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
Full back down the mountain guy.

Speaker 4 (54:59):
Oh, you're not You're not wrong.

Speaker 6 (55:01):
And every time they make a move, like once you've
started chasing, you just keep chasing, like this is that moment,
like you know, bad gets bad, but gets bad over
and over and over again, and just once you start
making the wrong move, it is so hard to do.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
They were stupid. They got rid of Drew Holiday. There's
just dumb, just bad GMing. Look what jew Holiday meant
to the Celtics, Like why would you get rid of
a guy who just does everything you need and to do?
Defens could run point, could shoot threes like what.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
It stuck at?

Speaker 2 (55:41):
That move never made any sense to me. For that
team that lack defense.

Speaker 6 (55:47):
That's when you start to step step back to and say,
how much of this is the front office, how much
of it is ownership, how much of it is the
superstar and whatever? You know, quiet demands are being made
behind the scenes. I don't know, but something's wrong. The
balance is off there, and I don't know how you
fix that. You're gonna have to get a complete new
voice in there.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
And you know, also not for nothing.

Speaker 6 (56:08):
It's amazing how getting the right person in the right
place makes such a difference, because it wasn't that long
ago that the Knicks felt like they were left for dead.
What they had to find was their identifiable superstar that
everybody could look at and say, discus.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
You know, that's exactly right. I mean, in fact, they
identified Brunt it. Listen, I'm a Bruntson fan. I watched
him at Villanova, I watched it. I followed his career
when he's in Dallas. I mean, I didn't think he
could be that kind of player. I mean, I loved him.
I thought very good player. But when they sat him

(56:43):
in that contract, I'm like, wow, Damn, I don't know
about that. I thought that was a reach and he's
worth every bit of it. I mean, what he did
in that playoffs was on parallel.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
Yeah, we scored it willing load. Oh my god, distributed
what he meant to that offense? My god.

Speaker 6 (57:06):
Dallas thought that it was a crazy contract too, And
now how much do they wish they they've matched it,
you know.

Speaker 4 (57:11):
What I mean? Like there's just at the world. But
that's I think that might be part of the beacon
of light in a dark dark world.

Speaker 6 (57:17):
Conversation around kat too, Like sometimes to reach your best potential,
you got to be in a place that you're most
comfortable and everything has to click, Like there is some
element you know, oversimplification again, but like there's some element
of environment matters even in pro athletes, even if people
think it shouldn't. Environment, the right place, the right coach,
the right system, the right scheme, the right city, all
of these things can can take somebody from being good

(57:38):
to great.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
Yeah, well that's why it's it's funny because we talk
you talk about you know, Brian Davil, you know, that's
where we talk about coaches, like I still think he's
a terrific coach.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
I do, And.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
It's funny. I'm just curious everyone looks something up here.
So kat is he is? How old to see?

Speaker 3 (58:08):
Man? He's twenty eight, twenty eight, he.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Feels like he's thirty Five's been a week forever?

Speaker 3 (58:19):
You know? This is it? You come home, right, He's
coming home. He's this, this is this all set up
for him. It's gonna be fun, that's for sure. All right.
Wait a quick too.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
Back to the NFL, and I gotta ask you a
question because I love that football is back to be
in football. I'll explain, and I'm curious. I don't know
if you're gonna like it or not. With a fella

Jason Fitz, Anthony Garganos, we hang out here on a
Fox Football Saturday. I'll tell you what. Let's get the
update and then uh lots to get to with the
little NFL action.

Speaker 8 (01:00:17):
Yeah, we just made it to Saturday, but we already
had some drama. In the Top ten in college football.

Speaker 9 (01:00:23):
Roads takes, drops, looks, looks still looking fires for the
end zone.

Speaker 13 (01:00:29):
It is juggling around, it's still loose.

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
Touchdown.

Speaker 10 (01:00:34):
They're gonna throwing a touchdown. They're gonna roll it a touchdown.

Speaker 12 (01:00:38):
After thunder review, the running on the field, his reverse.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
It's an into three times. A winning moment for the
University of Miami.

Speaker 8 (01:00:47):
Miami Sports Network with the call as the seventh ranked
Hurricanes moved to five and oh after they hold off
Virginia Tech.

Speaker 12 (01:00:54):
Thirty eight thirty four.

Speaker 8 (01:00:55):
The Hokies hell Mary attempt initially ruled a complete pass
in the end zone and Hoki's given the touchdown, but
upon further review, it was revealed the receiver it was
rule of the receiver was out of bounds when he
caught the ball, so ball ruled incomplete and Miami gets
the win. Rutgers is now four and know they're now
one to know in the Big Ten as well. They

(01:01:16):
take down Washington twenty one two eighteen, the Huskies for
their part one in one in their first go round
in a Big Ten play. In the NBA blockbuster trade
on Friday, Nicks acquiring Karl Anthony Towns from the Timberwolves
in exchange for Julius Randall and Donovan deven Chenzo. Minnesota

(01:01:36):
also getting a first round pick top thirteen protected in
twenty twenty five from New York via the Detroit Pistons,
and the reports also say that the Charlotte Hornets will
be a third team in the deal will receive draft
compensation for helping make the trade work. Major League Baseball
Marlins manager Skip Schumacher reportedly not returning next season. He

(01:01:57):
informed the team of the news after they are fifteen
to five win against the Blue Jays on Friday night.
And as for the other action on the diamond the
White Sox setting a new record for futility one hundred
and twenty one losses for passing the Mets of nineteen
sixty two. They lose to the Detroit Tigers four to one,
and the Southsiders still have a couple of more games

(01:02:18):

Mariner shout the Athletics to nothing, Padres beat the Diamondbacks
five to three out in the Desert, and the Rangers
over the Angels five to two.

Speaker 12 (01:02:32):
Back over to the fellas.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
All right, that's right, thanks buddy, We are the fellas.
Jason Fitz Anthony Gargano hanging.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
Out all right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
A couple things I want to test if you like
all right football wise. One, I love the way the
game is turned back to the full back to play defense.
I know you probably hate it, but I love it.

(01:03:02):
I just think it's like power football is back.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
You like it or hate it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:09):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (01:03:10):
As I've told you before, I'm a very good used
to be a great Madden player when I played a lot.
I used to play Madden for money quite often, and
there were so many people that didn't want to play
against me in general after they got to know me,
especially out of the Madden circuit. Why because I was
the type that would just run the ball over and
over and over and over again. I love any opportunity

(01:03:34):
to control time of possession.

Speaker 4 (01:03:36):
If you can just.

Speaker 6 (01:03:37):
Wear a team down to where they have nothing left
in the fourth quarter, I love it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:41):
I love everything about what you're talking about.

Speaker 6 (01:03:43):
Like the return of the fullback and the return like
I'm all in for boring, like three yards in a
cloud of dust. Like I think a truly great offense
should never have a question on third and two of
what they're doing. They should just be able to do it.
And I don't believe third and two effectively. It just
feels weird to me for third and two to be
a passing down like that just seems to me because

(01:04:04):
of the way I was raised. I'm old man screaming
into the clouds right now. I love the concept of
I need two yards. You know I need two yards.
You know how I'm going to get those two yards.
I'm going to demoralize you by shoving the ball down
your throat. I love that Brandon football. The only thing
I would say so, there's calculated risk because the longer
you hold the ball on these long drawn out drives

(01:04:25):
where you're running the football, the one thing you risk
is that you're limiting minimum of possessions. So one bad
possession can suddenly turn a game into difficulty. Like you've
got to be able to throw the ball and effectively
throw the ball in the modern NFL. But if you
can just hammer the ball down somebody's throat. God, I
just that takes the will out of the other team.
I want to watch the other team wilt in the
fourth quarter and just know that they can't stop me.

Speaker 4 (01:04:47):
I love the power of that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:48):
Yeah, I do too.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
The only thing for the league is, too, when you
limit possessions these man, those games go by fast. You
limit scoring too, And you know, people, there's a reason
why they tweak rules all the time to keep scoring
where it's at. And this year it's dramatically down and
I'm wondering how that's gonna sit with the owners that

(01:05:13):
like points and.

Speaker 6 (01:05:16):
The owners also like money, and like, I don't want
to be super cynical, but these rule changes to create
offense also create touchdowns. What did touchdowns create TV timeouts?
After every touchdown there's a timeout and then they open,
and then that you got the next kickoff on another
time out. Like there's TV inventory that gets paid better
when all of a sudden they can get more commercials in.

(01:05:36):
They can get more commercials in if they score more points. Like,
there are so many reasons the league wants points, and
you're right, Like, look, the hockey guy of me is
as a purist, loves the idea of a two to
one game, but the hockey gami, for the love of
the game that everybody wants to watch, fully acknowledges that
a six or four game in the NHL is gonna
be much much better received by people.

Speaker 4 (01:05:56):
So points matter. I get that.

Speaker 6 (01:05:58):
I think you're right if this turned into a real
cho and I don't think. Look, we've seen a historic
low and passing yardage per game early on. We are
seeing teams really struggle to throw the football. That will
normalize I believe by the end of the year. There's
not a real issue here. But man, if it didn't,
I'd be kind of in for that, like i'd be
in for the concept of you don't have to have one.

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
What do you think is go to normalize?

Speaker 6 (01:06:24):
Well, I think offenses will right now are just really
out of sync. I understand that Mel Kiper's selling about
the two high safeties. I understand that, but.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Everything that's ridiculous. Listen, all due respect to Mel, that's ridiculous.
I mean, you banned that, Luck, what are you crazy?
I can't do that.

Speaker 4 (01:06:42):
It's yeah, that was Mel's a friend. That was a
bad take.

Speaker 6 (01:06:46):
I can't say that, and it was a bad take,
and I think it's that's a truly oversimplified take. Also,
but a couple of things that I think will happen
right now. We're seeing so many passes at the line
of scrimmage. It's like everybody's trying to safe we get
the ball out of their quarterbacks hands. I'm still a
believer that what we're seeing in the NFL today is
not truly from the passing numbers. Is not a quarterback issue.

(01:07:08):
It's an offensive line issue. You have offensive lines. That's
just are not playing well across the league. I'm going
to die on this hill every single year for the.

Speaker 4 (01:07:15):
Rest of mine.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
Oh dude, I completely agree you're O line. I should
say this. I agree with you that O line predominantly.
I do think there's some quarterback problems though.

Speaker 6 (01:07:30):
Yes, there are some, yes, And you know, the part
of that's going to come back to the college game
and the way kids are being taught, and you know,
the way they're being brought up and what they're being
asked to analyze is so different. I cannot imagine what
it's like to jump from somebody is essentially making every
decision for me in this spread offense where I get
rid of the ball immediately and just hope that the

(01:07:51):
guy across from me cannot tackle.

Speaker 4 (01:07:53):
That's college offense. NFL offense. There's a lot more processing.

Speaker 6 (01:07:57):
And you know, listening to Sean Payton to talk about
taking on Aaron Rodgers, the one thing he said in
his quote the other day that really hit me was
he talked about how Aaron Rodgers always gets you into
the right play, and there's just such a lost art
to a quarterback that has the understanding to always get
you in the right play. There is a quarterback issue
right now, when it comes to pre snap, when it
comes to reading things, when it comes.

Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
To how they're asked to get rid of the ball.
Those are all real. But I also think part of
that is just offensive lines are liability.

Speaker 3 (01:08:24):
Again.

Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
You just the offensive.

Speaker 6 (01:08:26):
Lines can't hold up the way they used to, and
they're not being taught the same way at the college
level either. So you know, there's an offensive line and
massive issue in the NFL to me right now.

Speaker 4 (01:08:36):
But that being said, I think part of how it normalizes.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
To go look and go check out, just go around
the league and look at all the old lines and
look at those units.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
And I agree with you in a huge way.

Speaker 6 (01:08:52):
I mean, the problem is, like you know this, working
with Baldy all the time, and just with everything you
know about the game, I would argue that ninety nine
percent of the people that even cover football professionally are
not capable of quickly reading and diagnosing what's wrong with
an offensive line. They're just not And so all of

(01:09:14):
a sudden, it's just hard to explain to somebody, Hey,
that play didn't work because the guard did this right
or the center did that, And that's so hard to
explain to people that nobody cares about it. And look
at the draft. The number of times in the draft
we see a tackle or a guard taken and you
hear the collective grown from the entire fan base of
like an offensive lineman, like didn't we need a wide receiver?

(01:09:38):
And it's like, you know what you need? There is
nothing more important to your football team than having an
offensive line. They can actually, I know a great quarterback
can make up for a lot, but man, an okay
quarterback is just dead in the water if he doesn't
have a good offensive line too.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
Look at Minnesota, good old line and good coach. When
you got an O line and a good and a
hell of a coach, you can make Sam Donold three.

Speaker 6 (01:10:09):
Now yeah, well, and that's the you look across the board.
For me, as a Raiders fan, the number of time
people are sitting here saying, oh, gotta bench Gardner Minshew. Look,
I don't think Gardner Mitsche's any good. But also I think, frankly,
you could put almost anybody back there. Take out the
top five quarterbacks in the league. You could put most

(01:10:30):
quarterbacks behind that offensive line and it ain't gonna matter.
Like they can't run the football because their offensive line
isn't doing a great job. That's I mean, some running
back responsibility, but mostly you know, I've talked to at
this point four different guys that played in the NFL
on the offensive line this situation, and I've asked them all,
what is the problem with this offensive line, and all
four of them came back to me and said, they're
not playing well together and there's a talent issue and

(01:10:52):
an offensive linean can see that super easy. Like you
sit in a room for five minutes with the fat
guy that played line in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (01:10:59):
And you will You're immediately going to get knowledge.

Speaker 6 (01:11:02):
But it's not transferable knowledge, so like it's just hard
for any of us to really break it.

Speaker 4 (01:11:06):
Down, you know. So it becomes less sexy that way
for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Yeah, the old line mastermind, that's the they all get together,
that's their in the off season.

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
And uh, those guys are amazing. Man.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
When you when you get a bunch of them in
a room, Wow, you learn a.

Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
Lot about the game. The whole game's won in that trench.

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
I mean, I listen, I don't want to be Joe
football guy and whatever, but it's the oldest truism it's
just and especially now more than ever, that you're it's
about your front, and it's about your line. You know,
the front disrupting the game. That's what the whole, that's

(01:11:53):
what the defensive thing. You know, it's funny, same thing
about you know, the big pig and I say that
with love. The big pig in the middle of the
defense is how you win games because they're the ones
who collapse the interior of that offensive line, right, and

(01:12:13):
they're the ones that create the havoc because now all
your edge rushers can get home because you're breaking down
the middle of that of that line.

Speaker 6 (01:12:22):
I consistently when I go back and rewatch games, and
you know, because I think one of the most important
parts of our job is to watch as much as possible,
if I'm being honest, and you know, I talk to
people a lot about this. You know, you can go
out and buy the NFL Plus Pass and get yourself
the All twenty two. You have the luxury of doing
that in NFL films, but for most of us, you
can go back and watch it. And the simplest thing

(01:12:43):
that somebody told me a few years ago that I
now apply every single time I rewatch a game, the
question is, immediately after the snap, who re established the
line of scrimmage? Was it the offensive line or the
defensive line? And that tells you who won the snap
right right off the gap, right off the bat right,
and there's this level of like did it move back
or did it move forward? And if you've got an

(01:13:03):
offensive line that can push from the snap, can push
things forward and can create the holes that they need
to create, you have such a huge advantage, especially because
staying ahead on the change makes such a difference.

Speaker 4 (01:13:15):
Like you don't want to be in second and eight.
You don't want to be you got to be.

Speaker 6 (01:13:17):
In second and six, second and five, Like you got
to find a way to get yourself into reasonable down
and distance over and over and over again. And that
just comes down to who moved the line of scrimmage.
And that's the hardest thing to see on the TV
broadcast because of where the camera angles are. It's the
hardest thing to see, but it's the easiest thing if
you rewatching. Just to hang your hat on.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Now you're spot on. Like Tampa loses last week? Why
did they lose last week? When you don't have Vita Veda,
Vita vea like in the middle. Well, now, all of
a sudden, Denver can control the ball on you Like
that's a big deal. I take quick deal. Will come
right back where a fella is hanging out every Saturday
right here, Fox Sports Radio fellas from the tairaq dot

(01:14:05):
com studios. Here's an optical question. Do you like the
Monday night double hatter?

Speaker 4 (01:14:13):
God? No, I hate it.

Speaker 6 (01:14:15):
I'm absolutely out on it. I am pounding like a
petulant child. I'm pounding my fists on my desk saying,
why are you doing this to my Sunday slate? Like
Sunday is supposed to be for football. I look forward
to Sunday all week. I crave Sunday all week. Now,
what you're doing by giving me two games on Monday
and a game on Thursday, you're taking away three of

(01:14:38):
my games. Now you got Sunday night game two, So
you're taking away four of my games out of the
out of the out of the gates. So now, all
of a sudden, instead of getting sixteen games on Sunday,
the most I'm getting is twelve, right, and then we're
gonna get to the point where suddenly you're giving me
these damn International starts early, so now all of a sudden,
I got eleven games, ten games, and what happens there
that never seems to impact the early slate, and one

(01:15:01):
o'clock always gets a ton of great games. It just
means the four o'clock slate is boring, Like you know
how much it stinks. My friend, I was sitting there
at Buffalo Wild Wings over in Connecticut, enjoying myself. I
watch the end of the one o'clock games. The vibe
was electric. Everybody's yelling and screaming. Every single seat in
the place was packed. You got Giants fans, you got

(01:15:21):
Eagles fans, both yelling at the end of their respective games.
Places go with nuts. It's a vibe, it's an energy.
Then the Raiders kickoff at four oh five. I look around,
and all of a sudden, it's like somebody came in
and challenged somebody to a duel outside. The whole place
is suddenly empty. Everybody's left. There's nobody in the bar
with me anymore. There's like ten of us sitting there

(01:15:42):
watching the three lame ass games they put.

Speaker 4 (01:15:44):
On at four o'clock.

Speaker 6 (01:15:45):
I just as a late afternoon Sunday consumer, as a
Raiders fan on the East Coast. I need more games
at four to five, four to twenty five so that
there's a vibe and an energy to Sunday afternoon too.
You're killing me with these doubleheaders on Monday night.

Speaker 4 (01:15:59):
Sucked.

Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
See, you'll hate me. I I don't to me, it's
a waste.

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
Like if I was, if I was Goodell, I would
have Thursday, I would have Friday night, I would do
I would have an international game every week and I
would have just because of it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
I like the time difference. And then I would also have.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
Latest A and I would have the doubleheader Monday, but
I would stagger it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
I hate the star time.

Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
Forty five minutes isn't enough, Like you gotta give me,
you know, six fifteen, nine fifteen if you want to
kind of juggle a little bit, gotcha?

Speaker 4 (01:16:50):
You just hate sleep? Why do you hate sleep?

Speaker 6 (01:16:52):
Because nine to fifteen game, like you're gonna have me
up until one o'clock in the morning watching Monday night
football on these like this this is and then if
you give me six fifteen, well.

Speaker 4 (01:17:02):
Now, all of a sudden, like what am I doing
if I'm on the West Coast?

Speaker 6 (01:17:04):
Am I just not going to work that day, like
this is this is your worst idea ever.

Speaker 4 (01:17:10):
And then the other side.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
Of it, well, I mean, listen, I prefer honestly, what
I really prefer is for is a seven thirty ten
thirty or seven fifteen, ten to fifteen.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
Yeah, oh my god.

Speaker 6 (01:17:25):
Look what I prefer is if they would just get
rid of Sunday night football, get rid of Thursday night football.

Speaker 4 (01:17:29):
And give me all day Sunday and give me a
Monday night.

Speaker 2 (01:17:32):
That's why you can't watch to waste the games.

Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
You can't watch the games.

Speaker 6 (01:17:39):
It's fair, But that is also part of why I
don't love doubleheaders on Monday night, because if we're being
honest for a second, like the one percenter I think
I am sometimes I like, I've got three TVs up
all day Saturday, like I've got my main TV, which
I'm gonna be honest is big.

Speaker 4 (01:17:53):
And then I do the quad box like split on that.

Speaker 6 (01:17:55):
So I got four college football games going on at
once there, and then I bring out two other TVs
that'll sit on like a coffee table and something else.

Speaker 4 (01:18:02):
He gives me the chance to watch.

Speaker 6 (01:18:03):
I can effectively watch seven or eight games at once,
which is what I do all day Saturday, all day Sunday.

Speaker 4 (01:18:08):
I don't want two TVs Monday night. I want one DV.
I want one DV.

Speaker 6 (01:18:12):
Full of super important football, just to just hammer me
with one game that matters.

Speaker 2 (01:18:16):
Yeah, but why can't you have a double headed like
what's roll with? Seven fifteen ten fifteen? On the West Coast?
I got seven two of them?

Speaker 4 (01:18:24):
Oh, you keep me up till two in the morning?
Watch oh.

Speaker 3 (01:18:28):
Couple on football is worth it?

Speaker 6 (01:18:30):
And then on the West Coast you're missing the entire
first half of the first game because people actually have jobs,
kind of like the international games, Like you want to
get up at six o'clock in the morning so you
can watch football at seven am?

Speaker 4 (01:18:41):
No, not on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
Well, I don't like the morning. I never got morning football,
to be honest with you. But we'll discuss the fells.
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (01:18:56):
Don't listen to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
We're gonna do.

Speaker 2 (01:19:35):
We're gonna go through all the all the games this
whole hour, all right, so we will go through all
the big ones. Let's do a little recap last.

Speaker 3 (01:19:43):
Night, Miamie escapes, dude, all the Canes.

Speaker 6 (01:19:50):
Little lucky there, dude, I mean not a little lucky,
a lot lucky, not just even with me. With the
hail Mary, which was right on the edge. I kind
of hate the way we call everything a hail Mary.

Speaker 4 (01:20:03):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:20:04):
I mean, it's a deep pass at the end of time,
at the as time expired. It's not like they were
heaving the ball seventy yards downfield, but it was right
on the edge. And Virginia Tech's gonna be kicking themselves.
I mean, they were up by ten in the fourth quarter.
They had every opportunity to win this football game, and
good for Miami for never panicking through the course of it, certainly,

(01:20:24):
but that was one of those games where you watched
it and thought, how weird is it that the same
Virginia Tech team they just got beat, I mean beat
by Vandy who's terrible, is now sitting there winning this game.
I was pretty stunned by the lackluster effort from Miami.
I know that that happens at the college level, particularly,
and you know, the margins are so thin.

Speaker 4 (01:20:46):
Sometimes the kids forget that.

Speaker 6 (01:20:47):
But man, I thought that was a pretty poor effort
from Miami. Overall, lucky they survive it. Survival is key,
but man, Miami's got to understand what's on the line.
They are clearly the front runner in the ACC to
represent at that conference in the college football playoff. But
you watch that game and it's just hard for me
to see how they're supposed to be, even with a
quarterback that can be done dynamic, it's hard for me

(01:21:08):
to see how they're supposed to be competing with the
Texas Is, the Georgia's, the Alabama's, the Ohio States, Depenna States.

Speaker 3 (01:21:16):
They're not. They're not.

Speaker 4 (01:21:19):
They're just not.

Speaker 3 (01:21:20):
They're they're you know, there's a ways, a while, a
ways of light years away. I mean, to be honest
with you.

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
I mean, just look at look at some of these teams, right,
like we talked about you know, obviously Georgie and Alabama tonight,
which we'll get into it in a moment, but you
look at Texas, you look at Tennessee, Hell, you look
at Old Miss.

Speaker 3 (01:21:43):
Oh Miss is dangerous.

Speaker 2 (01:21:45):
I mean, you know, like there's some good, there's there's
just another level.

Speaker 4 (01:21:52):
Yeah. Well and Ole Miss.

Speaker 6 (01:21:55):
Again, I know they haven't played anybody, but Ole Miss
is so explosive.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
Right, yeah, I don't care.

Speaker 6 (01:22:00):
Yeah, yeah, there are certain times you just watch it
kind of like Ohio State. You know, I haven't played anybody,
but they're just damn good. You know, you keep is
you watch Ole Miss. And by the way, the funny thing,
we're about to get a gauntlet. We're about to get
a stretch that is gonna be some of the best
I think we've ever seen in college football when you
talk about week in and week out juggernaut games. Because

(01:22:23):
we've talked a lot this morning about getting Georgia Alabama,
we're a couple of weeks away from getting Georgia at
Ole Miss. And like that, that game at Ole Miss
is gonna be an environment for the ages. Like you
think about what that's gonna be like with a top
five Old Miss team, they got to keep their focus
and make sure that they don't have any trap moments,
no letdown. But my god, Like I keep watching these

(01:22:45):
teams that thinking I can't wait for the opportunity. We
get Georgia Alabama. Then a couple of weeks later we
get Georgia Ole Miss, and then right after that we
get Tennessee Georgia. Like, these are all gonna be explosive
teams that just can score from anywhere.

Speaker 4 (01:22:58):
It's I think it's gonna be curious to see too.
The Georgia offense we've talked about, I don't.

Speaker 6 (01:23:02):
Think they can I don't think they can compete with
Alabama this weekend.

Speaker 4 (01:23:06):
They can compete. I don't think they can.

Speaker 6 (01:23:07):
Outscore Alabama this week But that's gonna be even tougher
against Ole Miss. That's gonna be even tougher against Tennessee.
Like there's some offenses in the SEC they're just mindnumbingly good.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
Well, I mean you look at how they you look
at how Georgia offense struggled right against uh when when
you when you think of what they did against Kentucky,
they had twelve first downs they had two hundred and
sixty two totally yards. Yesh, Holly, I mean, how's that

(01:23:43):
going to play? And the other piece of it. And
we talk about we were talking about the big boys
up front, right, we were talking. We talk about the NFL,
and we were talking about the importance of tackle play.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
Like, ask the Bengals about tackle play.

Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
They got no tackles and they have no defensive tackles
and they have been just dashed. Well, the Georgia defense
gave up one hundred and seventy yards on the ground.
I mean, that's that's a mind boggling number for that unit,

(01:24:20):
at least over the last you know, five years.

Speaker 4 (01:24:23):
So this is.

Speaker 6 (01:24:23):
Where too, I want everybody to play one of my
favorite games in the world.

Speaker 4 (01:24:27):
It's called the shoes on the other foot game.

Speaker 6 (01:24:29):
I love doing this in general. It's like, let's put
ourselves in someone else's situation. Because I can already hear
yelling from the bleachers an SEC fan that will tell me,
oh man, but you know, things are always weird in
that matchup with them in Lexington. That's just the way
it goes. I hear that all the time. Yeah, and
I roll my eyes. As someone that lived in SEC
country for twenty plus years. I roll my eyes in

(01:24:52):
that concept, because when you are great, things don't get
weird in Lexington. And my answer to any fan of
the SEC or Georgia that says things get weird and
Georgia in Kentucky is how do you feel as a
football fan when a Big ten fan turns around and says, yeah,
but you know.

Speaker 4 (01:25:07):
Beat in Iowa. I was just always tough.

Speaker 6 (01:25:10):
Like it's funny how each conference has some reason that
they want to excuse why losing an in or or
struggling in conference is excusable because these are just tough
teams to beat, especially on the road.

Speaker 4 (01:25:22):
No, not when you're right, it's not tough.

Speaker 6 (01:25:25):
Georgia usually would not struggle with Kentucky that version of
Kentucky two that looks so bad earlier in the season,
like that should not have been a struggle game for Georgia.
So I realized that everybody says, oh, no, big concern.
You know, things get weird in Lexington every year. Nope, nope,
not if you are one of the nation's elite programs.
Not if you are one of the nation's elite teams.
Things should not get weird every single every single time

(01:25:47):
in Lexington, Like this is just one of those go
out and do your damn job, go out and dominate.
It's Lexington, it's Kentucky. You are better than they are.

Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
Fix it, dude, I feel you, man, I do on it,
or at least a little bit. That game, by the way,
the totals fifty. Isn't it a stone under game?

Speaker 14 (01:26:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:26:08):
Fe I mean, I mean I don't see points like
you could.

Speaker 2 (01:26:15):
Your's always a feel for those SEC games, like those
bad games, like you know when there's gonna be PA
Georgia too, Like you always had that feel. And then
there's the Alabama or the old Alabama L s U
games that were three enough after three after three quarters,
you know.

Speaker 4 (01:26:31):
Which, Let's just just be honest.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
You love that?

Speaker 4 (01:26:33):
Did you you love that three nothing defensive back? I
did still six three finals?

Speaker 3 (01:26:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:26:39):
I you know again, like I need I get the
idea for scoring, but dude, three nothing, yes.

Speaker 6 (01:26:50):
Cousins, the one that like like when you love the
old games on and on like NFL Network, and you've
got like linebackers that their their legs look so tiny
and they're upper bodies are just all beef like that.
That's that's Anthony garganall football right there.

Speaker 4 (01:27:05):
Like it just feels like that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:27:06):
Well, I love quarterback play, I do. I love quarterback play,
but I do I do love defense too. I I
I liked when there's I liked the I like when
teams play at variety of styles. I hate like all
spread mm hmmm, like you know, like when you remember

(01:27:26):
when uh in college football just everybody was all spread.
They ran everybody around the same exact offense. I like
different teams like like you know, growing up, you know,
quick team was explosive, went down the field like the Raiders, right.
The Raiders were always a vertical team. That was part

(01:27:48):
of the charm of the Raiders. They played great defense
and they went vertical.

Speaker 4 (01:27:56):
I that was fun for me.

Speaker 6 (01:27:58):
My favorite thing about footb my entire life, has always
been the chess match. And what I love about the
chess match is how one formation can give you so
many different things. Like I am that type of person
that finds such joy my no noes say yes yes
every time I see, Hey, we've seen the same run
to the same side out of this play four straight times,

(01:28:20):
and now this time it was something different. We're in
the same spot. Something I love when you see trickery
from coaches of hey, we're gonna lull them to sleep
and then we're gonna do this.

Speaker 4 (01:28:31):
And to me, you know, cause you mentioned you love
quarterback play, I do too.

Speaker 6 (01:28:34):
I just also love a quarterback that can come up
to the line of scrimmage. They can get you into
the right play, they can adjust everything and all of
a sudden still throw beautiful football, like I think quarterback
can be played. I love watching Lamar play, but I
also loved watching Rich Gannon play, and I also loved
watching Peyton Manning play. I loved watching Marino play and
Joe Montana play as a kid like I love watching

(01:28:58):
Gannon play. Of course I love watching Rich can I
love Rich but oh the ever the like there was
pluckiness to that. You never felt like, I love the plucky.

Speaker 2 (01:29:08):
He's a plucky dude, he is. But I I like,
I don't like those quarterbacks.

Speaker 6 (01:29:14):
No, oh yeah, the I can't believe you made chicken
salad out of chicken, you know what, quarterbacks, because that's
what Gannon always felt like. Nothing, nothing about the way
he played the position felt like he was just naturally
gifted to be the world.

Speaker 3 (01:29:28):
Yeah, I like gifted.

Speaker 4 (01:29:30):
Okay, I respect that, Like Andrew, I.

Speaker 3 (01:29:33):
Like, I love I like this z.

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
I like I go out and give me a five
step drop and just throw a seed twenty yards and
watch that thing, just like a homing.

Speaker 3 (01:29:49):
Pigeon, just go right in the inner receiver's hands.

Speaker 6 (01:29:53):
And I think there are guys right now. Like part
of what I love about watching CJ. Stroud play is
that he's capable be in that and he's also capable
of running around and making things happen when it needs
Like ideally, the best quarterback to me will always be
the quarterback that can execute the offense he's being asked
to execute, but can also save the offense with incredible

(01:30:14):
athletic plays when he needs to.

Speaker 2 (01:30:16):
Like, that's that's the you're I mean, you're talking about
Sunday Night with both those quarterbacks. Yeah, yeah, you know,
like that's going to be an epic game. That's a great,
great football game Sunday Night that we you know, that's that,
Like we have two epic games Saturday Night Georgia Alabama

(01:30:36):
Sunday Night, Bill's Ravens.

Speaker 6 (01:30:39):
Yeah, are you a little surprised at all that the
Baltimore's favored against Buffalo. I know it's at home, but okay,
I think Buffalo is gonna win.

Speaker 4 (01:30:46):
That game, do you? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:30:49):
Yeah, I think we keep waiting for the bubble to
pop on this this Bill's offense, especially against you know,
the Ravens and the respect that we usually give that defense.

Speaker 4 (01:30:58):
But this defense has not been what it was before.
It just hasn't.

Speaker 6 (01:31:01):
So you know, yeah, Buffalo is gonna have to account
for the the Finally, the Ravens woke up and decided
to run the football, which I love, Like the Bills
are going to have to stop that.

Speaker 2 (01:31:10):
But my only fear is and I'm like, listen, I'm
with you. I love that Bills team, right, so I'm
with you, but.

Speaker 3 (01:31:19):
My only fear is short week.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
And you had a just perfect game, right, like you
played the perfect like they were just unstoppable and short week,
perfect game. Now on the road in Baltimore, you know
that's a test, Like that's a schedule, that's one of

(01:31:45):
those EBB and flow of the league. Right, So the
abb and flow says Baltimore.

Speaker 5 (01:31:53):
But like we'll see, I this won't Ravens fans won't
like carrying that this but I just don't think Baltimore
is a wildly scary, intimidating home environment.

Speaker 4 (01:32:06):
I think the Bills can handle it pretty easily.

Speaker 6 (01:32:09):
And Josh Allen is the hottest player in the NFL
right now, and I never bet against the hottest player
in the league. There's nobody's nobody's playing more efficient, clean
and just right, like making right decisions right time right now.
Nobody's doing that better than Josh Allen.

Speaker 3 (01:32:24):
So I liked.

Speaker 4 (01:32:25):
I liked the Bills.

Speaker 6 (01:32:26):
I think the Bills win this game, you know, not
by like double digits, but I think they went by
a touchdown.

Speaker 4 (01:32:30):
I like to I like the wow yeah hot tags,
hot tags.

Speaker 3 (01:32:34):
I got the hot texs this morning. Interesting. You know again,
do you buy into because I'm a big believer in.

Speaker 4 (01:32:42):
Spot, You're big believer in what spot?

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
Like the spot that the game like this is a
bad spot for It's not an optimum spot for Buffalo.

Speaker 6 (01:32:53):
I so yes, I buy into spot. I thought you
said SPA and I was like, well, I do like
a day spot. I mean that's prized. I give me
a manny penny and a little days pay. Actually, yeah,
I men on that. Becuse like that's what we should do.
The next Fellows. No, I think the short week going
to Baltimore, I hear that. I don't think if this

(01:33:14):
word gets a lesser team, a team that it started slow,
for example, even in reputation, then like if the games
were flipped, if they were coming off of pounding Baltimore
and they were taking on a Jags team that just
nobody cares about right now, I could see a little
bit of a letdown.

Speaker 4 (01:33:28):
I don't. I just don't think that this lines up
that way.

Speaker 2 (01:33:33):
Listen, A man, I love the I love this Bills team.
I love the way they play. So you know, I
just think it's gonna be a great game. I think
I don't. I'll be honest with you, I can't. I
don't like the game. Like I wouldn't bet the game.
I tell you right now, Brad's gonna be all over
the Ravens because that's how it lines up. But and

(01:33:56):
I haven't spoken to him about it, but my g
s is he'll be all over the Ravens. I just think
it's great, just great game.

Speaker 4 (01:34:05):
Like I.

Speaker 2 (01:34:07):
Like you and I both kind of like Alabama in
this game. But it's it's a it's gonna be low scoring,
it's going to be just a you know.

Speaker 3 (01:34:18):
Great slugfests.

Speaker 2 (01:34:20):
And I think Tomorrow Night's Sunday Night's gonna be the
same way you are two.

Speaker 3 (01:34:25):
I think it'd be two fun football games.

Speaker 6 (01:34:28):
The only thing that could make Sunday Night better is
if they put that kickoff at four o'clock in the
afternoon and everybody stayed in the bar with me.

Speaker 4 (01:34:34):
Haha.

Speaker 3 (01:34:35):
Oh wait, so let me let me ask you this
real quick.

Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
Yes, So Brianna, our five producer, right, likes to watch
football in bed.

Speaker 15 (01:34:47):
For the six am games, like the early early, like
the European games. Like I make my coffee, I put
on the fan like super super high, so it's really cold,
and then I get back in bed.

Speaker 6 (01:34:58):
Okay, So the hard part of about this, there's a
lot to digest here. I don't mind that you're watching
it in bed. The concept and this is just me
as a person. The concept of getting out of my bed,
which is comfy, cozy with all of the you know,
like lots of pillows, lots and lots of comfort. Like
the concept of me getting out of my bed, going downstairs,

(01:35:19):
making coffee, and then going back up into my bed
to lay back in.

Speaker 4 (01:35:22):
It is very foreign to me.

Speaker 6 (01:35:24):
I don't really like is the first thing I do
when I get out of bed, before I've even like,
before I even brush my teeth and pee, the first
thing I do is I make my bed. It takes
like thirty seconds. The bed's made so like the pillows
already back on it. I cannot imagine going downstairs making
the coffee, getting the coffee right, then coming upstairs and
then getting back into bed. I could lay on the

(01:35:44):
couch maybe, but back in bed that that feels like
a violation to me. And let I mean, unless somebody's
about me, that's a months different conversation.

Speaker 3 (01:35:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
And also watching the game, Brey, I can't watch the
game in like undercovers.

Speaker 15 (01:36:05):
But let's be realistic and we're talking about the European
games or even we're talking about Thursday night football games.
How good are these games?

Speaker 7 (01:36:12):
Like?

Speaker 15 (01:36:13):
How like how big are the stakes? Like are we
really like standing up? And is it really like a
really good matchup?

Speaker 4 (01:36:19):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:36:19):
I get you, I know, I just can't. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):
I just something like I don't think I've ever watched
the game in my bedroom.

Speaker 6 (01:36:32):
Now I have, like, especially if we're at NBA playoff time,
like and I'm just getting into bed and crawl because
I like to put the TV timer on and you know,
lay in bed, and then that's like that that's kind
of my ease into going to sleep, and like if
I don't really care about the outcome at all. Football
for me is not that I can't really watch a
Thursday you know. I'd rather watch Family Feud in bed
than watch you know, Steve Harvey is just brilliantly funny.

Speaker 3 (01:36:54):
On that show.

Speaker 6 (01:36:54):
I'd rather watch that as I fall asleep than I
would football. But I do sometimes put it like when
we get to play off baseball, Yeah, I'll put a
baseball game on in bed, Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 15 (01:37:03):
And I think also because I see I can see
football in different ways. I can see it like I'm
hyped and I'm excited, and then I can see it
as like soothing and comfort and like it's like my
happy place, and what do you how do your place?

Speaker 3 (01:37:18):
I listen the way you explain it, I feel you.
I get it.

Speaker 6 (01:37:23):
I mean, because there's worse things than like lying in
bed with somebody you know and having her roll over
and be.

Speaker 4 (01:37:28):
Like can we turn the game on? I mean I
mean yes, yes, ma'am we can. We can absolutely, Well.

Speaker 3 (01:37:34):
That's part you know, that's part of two.

Speaker 2 (01:37:35):
Because my wife does not watch like she she doesn't
watch sports.

Speaker 3 (01:37:40):
Right, So.

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
You know, I'm downstairs and she's upstairs, right, and then
we watch our shows upstairs. But you know, like I'm
used to, like, I'll stay downstairs until you know, the
nights and we're we're like late people, so we're usually
up late. So I'll go up after the game and
we'll hang out a little bit. But you know, that's

(01:38:03):
kind of that's funny. No, I hear you, Brie, listen.
You know that's You're gonna make somebody very happy.

Speaker 4 (01:38:11):
I'll put it that way. We are.

Speaker 2 (01:38:15):
We are the Fellas and Brie and uh mighty Mark
Uh everybody will be back in just a second.

Speaker 3 (01:38:23):
Right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 7 (01:38:26):
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live.

Speaker 3 (01:38:40):
Fellas. I gotta tell you, it's terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:38:47):
I'm just thinking about Fellas football in bead promo.

Speaker 3 (01:38:55):
It's just it's intimatical. I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (01:39:01):
It was it was what it's antithetical football like lying
down in bed.

Speaker 6 (01:39:07):
So there's a couple of ways we can go here.
I can pretend I know what antithetical means. I could
google it, I could try.

Speaker 2 (01:39:16):
It doesn't go with it right, like like lying down
in bed under the covers.

Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
I gotta know. I just it doesn't feel right.

Speaker 16 (01:39:26):
So you're basically saying you need to be up so
just in case there is an interception or something. I
don't know that you want to react versus being in
the bed and you can't really react.

Speaker 15 (01:39:37):
What's the difference between the couch and the bed Because
I'm sitting up in bed, I'm not laying down. I
have I also like I have a ton of pillows.

Speaker 4 (01:39:45):
I have like you're a woman, that kiddy, I have.

Speaker 15 (01:39:51):
Like six pillows.

Speaker 12 (01:39:52):
So I'm sitting up.

Speaker 15 (01:39:53):
I can't drink my coffee laying down.

Speaker 12 (01:39:55):
I don't want to choke, e choke.

Speaker 1 (01:39:56):
But I'm just.

Speaker 15 (01:39:57):
Saying like I'm sitting up. So if I'm on the
couch laying down on the couch versus laying down in
my bed, is it the location? It's the location, I'm guessing.

Speaker 6 (01:40:06):
Yeah, it's what happens, Like it's look a couch is
just a comfy sitting spot that could turn into a
little napping spot. The bed is straight up like like
we're there's only a few reasons we're headed to the bed,
like you know, and staying awake is.

Speaker 4 (01:40:21):
Not usually one of them for long periods of time.

Speaker 6 (01:40:24):
So I don't know, Like I think the location is
a little different plasts like I can't speak, you know,
to to your bedroom. But at least I have a
better TV downstairs, I have better lighting downstairs. I have
a better energy and vibe downstairs for watching things, you know,
like if I if I lay in bed too long
and I'm not doing anything, I'm just gonna go to sleep,

(01:40:44):
Like that's just gonna happen.

Speaker 15 (01:40:47):
Yeah, okay, I could see that.

Speaker 4 (01:40:49):
But I do love the idea of looking at somebody
being like, hey.

Speaker 6 (01:40:51):
You want to head to end and uh.

Speaker 4 (01:40:57):
Maybe watch some football.

Speaker 2 (01:40:58):
I just love it, right, But but but that doesn't mix.
Come on, go ahead, It just doesn't mindset start there.

Speaker 15 (01:41:18):
It doesn't mix like spaghetti and like sushi doesn't mix.

Speaker 2 (01:41:22):
Or is it like like they're both great but together
they don't go together.

Speaker 15 (01:41:30):
Okay, well I gotta take the l on this one.

Speaker 4 (01:41:32):
Then I think I think.

Speaker 6 (01:41:34):
If you found your Here's the toughest part of it
for me is still the thought of getting your coffee. Like, look,
I don't I don't drink coffee. Now you know, I'm
an iced tea guy, and I only drink iced anything.
I don't really like hot drinks. But I will say
for me, coffee is always like this. It takes a minute,
like there's you know, you gotta get the you gotta
brew it, and then because I'm bougie like that, I'm

(01:41:56):
gonna put it on ice.

Speaker 4 (01:41:57):
And then when I was.

Speaker 6 (01:41:58):
Drinking coffee, I'm gonna have to grab the throth because like,
who wants coffee with no frother, no.

Speaker 3 (01:42:03):
Frod ice coffee frother?

Speaker 4 (01:42:07):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'm ice coffee like I.

Speaker 3 (01:42:09):
Got cause.

Speaker 2 (01:42:12):
Like, oh, I first of all the violation that you
don't drink hot coffee, but okay, you said, but.

Speaker 3 (01:42:20):
You have to froth your You're.

Speaker 4 (01:42:23):
On top.

Speaker 3 (01:42:24):
I want to co You're the greatest. I love it.

Speaker 6 (01:42:28):
Like I literally came in from shoveling my driveway when
it snowed in the winter and the first thing I
did was poured myself an.

Speaker 4 (01:42:35):
Ice cup of ice coffee.

Speaker 6 (01:42:37):
Really, I can't drink hot drinks, like I don't even
like I really want to be a special move for soup,
like soup is yet, like it's soup is gonna be
a rarity better.

Speaker 2 (01:42:46):
But you're Connecticut god, like soup is perfect.

Speaker 3 (01:42:52):
You don't want to get ice fa who.

Speaker 6 (01:42:58):
No, I'm a year round cold Like if I'm gonna
have soup, it buttter be cold soup.

Speaker 4 (01:43:02):
You know that. That's uh, there's if I drink if
I if.

Speaker 6 (01:43:05):
I have soup, then I will literally have like ice
water with it because I just don't like hot drinks.

Speaker 4 (01:43:10):
I don't like I'm out, so you know, like.

Speaker 6 (01:43:15):
I am certainly not man enough to drink my coffee
black no matter hot, cold, doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (01:43:19):
It ain't happen in black.

Speaker 2 (01:43:20):
So like I you'll appreciate this. I have to because
I do the intermittent fast thing. So so you have
to drink it.

Speaker 3 (01:43:32):
You can't put anything in it.

Speaker 6 (01:43:35):
I when I was drinking coffee, it was usually I
would make a cup of it, I'd ice it, then
I would put it, depending on the day, like six
pumps of the sugar free vanilla in it, and then
I would get out the.

Speaker 3 (01:43:49):
Creamer free he had six pumps of the.

Speaker 12 (01:43:52):
Vanilla sugar free vanilla.

Speaker 6 (01:43:54):
Sugar free vanilla like that's no calories, uh, And then
I'd have my sugar free creamer that I would put
in the to get it nice and like airy, and
then I would pour that on top of the coffee
and I would do that. That was my standard coffee
drink probably four or five times a day at home,
like easy. So you know, Uh, it's the concept of

(01:44:15):
going through that process to make.

Speaker 3 (01:44:17):
I'm drinking black coffee right now now, express.

Speaker 4 (01:44:20):
What's it like to be a man? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:44:22):
It's espresso, it's not. It's not caught, it's not.

Speaker 4 (01:44:25):
That's even that's even more manly. My god.

Speaker 2 (01:44:27):
I actually like to taste of the now, but I
like to taste of it, so it's not I'm not
trying to be but I can't. I mean, normally I
would have a you know whatever, I could put like
cream in or milk, but I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:44:40):
But now I can't.

Speaker 15 (01:44:41):
So what about like flavors lattes, you guys like, I mean,
I don't do the flavor, okay, so you would never
go have like a vanilla latte? What about like a
lavender latte.

Speaker 12 (01:44:51):
That's even worse.

Speaker 4 (01:44:52):
I'm not going to drink flowers.

Speaker 2 (01:44:54):
Okay, so yeah, no, I can't do anything now now
you're getting me, well, I can time out. I mean
I gotta go to gets trending, all right, so sit tight.

Speaker 8 (01:45:04):
Hey, I have a timed coffee maker and an adjustab
base for my bed, and I specifically set my coffee
maker to ten o'clock on Sundays.

Speaker 12 (01:45:12):
To go off. You preload it.

Speaker 8 (01:45:14):
You preload the maker before you go to bed, set
the time, and literally you wake up to your brood
cup and then I take it. My bed's an adjustable base,
so I got all my pillows and blankets, I've got
my TV right there in the corner, and I am
just in bed. Yes, adjustable base. That's the key to
watching sports in bed.

Speaker 4 (01:45:35):
I don't know what it's like to be rich, so
I don't understand this.

Speaker 3 (01:45:38):
Wait wait, wait, you too are a sports a person.

Speaker 8 (01:45:44):
Yeah. I take my sports viewing seriously. I'll have like
three or four screens going on on a Saturday or Sunday. Yes,
I have a TV, a laptop of tablets. Sometimes I
live by my so.

Speaker 3 (01:46:02):
All right, all right, any world, man, I'm just I
just antiquated.

Speaker 8 (01:46:07):
Anyway, we did have a lot of good football action
Friday night, believe it or not. As number seven, Miami
goes undefeated or stays undefeated, I should say going to
five and oh one to know in the acc they
hold off Virginia Tech on what was a controversial ending
down in South Florida roads.

Speaker 9 (01:46:25):
Takes, drops, looks, walks, still looking fires.

Speaker 3 (01:46:29):
For the end zone.

Speaker 8 (01:46:30):
It is.

Speaker 3 (01:46:33):
Juggling around. It's still loose.

Speaker 10 (01:46:35):
Touchdown, cooking and throwing a touchdown, cooking and rolling a touchdown.

Speaker 12 (01:46:40):
After thunder reviews, rolling on the field is reversed.

Speaker 11 (01:46:43):
It's an eighty three clock, a winning moment for the
University of Miami Miami Sports Network there with the call
the Hurricanes holding off the Hokies as Virginia Tech a
hail Mary has time expired, initially rule the catch in
a touchdown, but.

Speaker 8 (01:46:58):
Upon further review, rule that the receiver was out of
bounds when he made the catch, therefore no completion, incomplete
pass and Miami ends up winning at thirty eight to
thirty four. Rutgers undefeatedy out. The Scarlet Knights are four
and oh now one to zero in the Big Ten
after getting by Washington twenty one to eighteen, as the
Huskies now one in one in their first ever campaign

(01:47:19):
as a member of.

Speaker 12 (01:47:20):
The Big Ten. They're three and two overall.

Speaker 8 (01:47:22):
In the NBA blockbuster trade, Nicks acquiring Karl Anthony Towns
from the Timberwolves in exchange for Julius Randall and Donovan Devoncenzo,
and Minnesota also will receive a twenty twenty five top
thirteen protected first round pick from New York via the
Detroit Pistons.

Speaker 12 (01:47:38):
The Hornets the third team and the deal.

Speaker 8 (01:47:39):
We will receive draft pick compensation for helping make the
trade happen. Major League Baseball, the Marlins Marlins manager Scoops
Schumacher will reportedly not return next season. He informed his
team of the news after the team defeated the Blue
Jays on Friday night, fifteen to five. Elsewhere in Major
League Baseball, the Chicago White Sox setting a new record

(01:48:00):
for futility one hundred and twenty one losses, including their
four one defeat to the Detroit Tigers Friday night. So
that's the new modern record since nineteen twenty. The Cleveland
Spiders back in the eighteen eighties lost one hundred and
thirty nine games, but since the live ball era began
in nineteen twenty, the White Sox now have the record,
surpassing the nineteen sixty two New York Mets and some

(01:48:24):
late scores from the West Coast Cardinals over the Giant
sixty three, Mariner shout the Athletics to nothing, Padres beat
the Diamondbacks out in the desert five to three, and
the Rangers over the Angels five to two.

Speaker 3 (01:48:35):
Back to you, guys, you're watching Cleveland Spiders in bed.

Speaker 12 (01:48:40):
Yeah, that's what's on.

Speaker 4 (01:48:43):
I respect the I'll be allen.

Speaker 2 (01:48:49):
I mean, this is guy like I need to watch
White games is my spot.

Speaker 8 (01:48:54):
I mean I also get off work here at six o'clock,
so I'm not really up in spry one o'clock the
way other people might be.

Speaker 3 (01:49:02):
No, gotcha, I gotcha. Yeah, do the.

Speaker 8 (01:49:05):
Overnight although the Rams play and the early windows, so
I might have to force myself out to get a
beer for that.

Speaker 3 (01:49:10):
But yeah, that is one.

Speaker 6 (01:49:12):
So that has been one change for me this year,
because I am so thankful for the work that I
do here and for the work that I do at
Yahoo Sports. But one thing that has been I realized
last year my first year with Yahoo that was really
interesting was that we do this show in the morning
and then as I said earlier, I always go right
to the gym after this show, and then I have
college football all day and I make a bunch of

(01:49:34):
content during the day for Yahoo, and then we do
a late night show now for Yahoo that you know,
usually we tape around midnight Eastern. It's a reaction to
all of the all of the games on Saturday. So
I find myself because I'm watching so much on Saturday,
I find myself really staying home. And then on Sundays
because I you know, it's just the same thing, like
I host fantasy football show Football and then a reaction

(01:49:55):
show Sunday night. So my two longest days are Saturday Sunday.
I really last year that I was just isolating at
home so much to watch that I wasn't getting the joy.
So this year, one thing that I am passionate about
is like at one of the windows, whether it's Saturday
or Sunday, whether it's early or late, I make sure
that I go out somewhere and just watch some of
the games because otherwise, you know, you get part of

(01:50:17):
to me, part of the joy of football.

Speaker 4 (01:50:19):
Is the camaraderie and community around it and just feeling
that energy.

Speaker 6 (01:50:24):
So, you know, hard to ask all my friends to
want to just come here and hang out watch football
games at home all the time. So I do make
the conservative effort to watch one of the windows out
and about, which has actually been really really good for
me so far.

Speaker 2 (01:50:37):
Now, we're you going to watch tonight? When you watch,
You're going to watch Georgia Alabama and then come back
and do the No.

Speaker 6 (01:50:43):
I'll probably watch Georgie Alabama at home because that one's,
you know, and then that's the other East Coast thing,
and this is East coast, West coast.

Speaker 4 (01:50:51):
Maybe maybe it's different, but I do think it's kind
of funny.

Speaker 6 (01:50:55):
That the later games just the vibe, the energy the
bar like it feels like, especially college football like. To
be honest, college football in Connecticut just doesn't matter. So
I can promise you if I went to most bars
around there won't be people paying attention tonight.

Speaker 4 (01:51:11):
To tonight's game.

Speaker 6 (01:51:12):
If I went out and about tomorrow in the NFL Sunday,
people will be paying attention. But tonight, even Georgia Alabama
just won't.

Speaker 2 (01:51:19):
It's like that Boston, New York, Philadelphia, DC. It's the
same thing you're right on. My only regret is that
the Northeast doesn't appreciate football like college football the way
it should if you love football.

Speaker 3 (01:51:38):
I never understood this. Everyone loves the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:51:43):
I have buddies of mine loves the NFL, but they
don't watch college football. Yet they love the draft. How
do you love the draft if you don't watch college football?
How do you know the players?

Speaker 4 (01:51:53):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:51:53):
Well, I get up to speed. Yeah, but you're not
watching them during the season. I watching them pop, you know,
watching them play football.

Speaker 4 (01:52:00):
You're also relying on somebody else's analysis to get you.

Speaker 2 (01:52:02):
Up to speed. And that's ye exactly. That's so dangerous
it is.

Speaker 6 (01:52:08):
It is funny violations this morning in the in the Northeast,
right in the Northeast. What one thing that really surprised
me when to move to Connecticut is how much you
know regular season baseball matters. I've never lived anywhere where
you walked into a sports bar and people not not
just that it's on, but then it's on and that's
what people want to watch like it's everywhere. Oh, that's

(01:52:28):
not something that really exists. Like when you're down in
Nashville or like, even when I was in Vegas as
a kid, like you never really walked in and cared
about baseball.

Speaker 4 (01:52:36):
So they care about baseball, but they do not care.

Speaker 2 (01:52:38):
Well, now that they stole the A's, they better care
about baseball. I'm sad over that we got to talk
about it. You got to indulge me for a minute, FITZI.
We'll be right back where the fella is hanging out
on a Fox Football Saturday. Fellas hanging out from the
tire rack dot Com studios, Jason Fits, Anthony Gargano, Dude,

(01:53:08):
the A's man. I felt horrible the A's. Now I'm curious.
Now listen, I get that they really haven't supported them right,
but that owner is horrible.

Speaker 3 (01:53:25):
This is horrible. They should not allow me moved. I'm
so against teams moving. I just am.

Speaker 2 (01:53:33):
It's Vegas gonna be. It's Vegas going to be. Will
they will they fall in love with baseball? But they've
done the.

Speaker 6 (01:53:40):
Other sports win, I mean the reality of sports and
Vegas and will they fall in love with baseball? Part
of the answer to that is if you look at
the minor league team, the attendance is great. I do
believe there are a lot of baseball fans in Vegas.
I grew up, you know, obviously in that city, and
it was a Dodgers city when I was a kid,
Like La Sorts, Obviously, resonate resonated in Vegas, and certainly was.

Speaker 3 (01:54:05):
It a good baseball town growing up like kids playing
out like it was?

Speaker 4 (01:54:08):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:54:09):
Bryce Harper is a Vegas kid.

Speaker 6 (01:54:11):
Right, there were some There were some of those moments,
but it wasn't like a big baseball town. But it
also wasn't a hockey town until the gold Knights made
it a hockey town.

Speaker 3 (01:54:19):
Right.

Speaker 6 (01:54:19):
So I do think if they end up, because there's
still so much to be done on where the stadium
is going to go, if they end up putting a
stadium on the strip, then it's gonna be just like
the Raiders. The thing, the question will be every time
there's a series, will you know, will White Sox fans
come in to Vegas to see Chicago play? You know, we'll,
we'll Red Sox fans want to come across country to

(01:54:41):
go to Vegas. It's gonna be just like the Raiders.
I don't think they'll rely necessarily on locals as much.
If they put it off off the strip, then I
think they have a better shot at locals. But to
answer your question, you better win, you know, repeatedly, you
got to win in a city where there's a lot
of competition for your entertainment dollars. You better be pretty good.
And you know, the Raiders can get away because it's
the NFL, and the NFL can get away with anything.

(01:55:02):
The hard part is that you're right, John Fisher and
that ownership group, they're terrible. But and I think it's
also fair to say that I will never fault a
city like Oakland for standing up and saying, hey, we're
not going to subsidize stadiums for billionaires. The problem with
that argument, though, is that people yell at like that's
the standard Oakland decided to set, which I respect so much,

(01:55:24):
But that doesn't mean that any other city has the
same standard. So the fact is, if I ran a
business today, even if I ran it poorly, if I
ran it somewhere and somebody turned around and offered me
a free two billion dollar stadium, I'll probably take that,
you know, And that's what happened with the Raiders in
part is that you know, if you're Mark Davison. You
can change the evaluation of your franchise without really having

(01:55:46):
to do anything. You don't have to put any work
into it. Give you a free stadium, It's.

Speaker 4 (01:55:50):
Going to happen.

Speaker 6 (01:55:51):
And that's why we see, you know, Nashville paying for
a free stadium, in Buffalo paying for a free stadium.
And in this case, like do I hate the concept
of relocation, but at some point, there will always be
a city that turns around and says, you know what,
we could really use, Like you want to tell me
that right now today that a city like Hartford doesn't
wish they still had the NHL, they do, right, So,

(01:56:12):
there's always going to be a city that will turn
around and offer a floundering franchise a free opportunity because
they want they want to be associated with professional sports.
And that's just that's the reality.

Speaker 4 (01:56:22):
Like it or not.

Speaker 2 (01:56:24):
Listen, you're spot on, spot On. I just felt so bad.
I don't know, it was like a sad kind of thing.

Speaker 6 (01:56:33):
I wish there was a way that Major League Baseball
could step in, and I look, expansion is not easy.
I just wish there was a way in these situations
where kind of, like you know, we sometimes forget that
the Baltimore Ravens were the Cleveland Browns and then the
NFL came and don't worry, We're going to put a
franchise back in Cleveland. I wish that there was a.

Speaker 2 (01:56:50):
Bad curse ever since. I mean, you want to talk
about cursed. I was at the expansion draft when the
new Browns. Didn't you, Cleveland Browns had an expansion draft.
I covered it and I remember like they were bad
and they were just they have not been able. That's

(01:57:13):
a love franchise. Absolutely cursed.

Speaker 6 (01:57:16):
Well, at least the NFL made sure that something was
put there. Like in a beautiful world, what Major League
Baseball would have done was if John Fisher wants to
move his team, cool move him and then figure out what.

Speaker 4 (01:57:31):
Put another team back.

Speaker 6 (01:57:32):
But I say that while also, you know, talking out
of both sides of my mouth, because the NFL certainly
didn't do anything for Oakland and the Raiders left. You
know now and realistically, as a Raiders fan that grew
up an LA Raiders fan, that became an Oakland Raiders
fan that's now a Vegas Raiders fan, I never cared
about the city. I care about the team. I don't
care where they're located. So for me, I love going

(01:57:53):
to Allegiance. It's a beautiful stadium. I love being there,
and I have a blast when I go to games.
So like, it's it's that simple for me. But I
realized that it's not that simple for people that lost
their team.

Speaker 2 (01:58:04):
No, I know, And and I feel like the problem
with baseball is too it's got too many teams any
as it.

Speaker 4 (01:58:09):
Is, you know, And how do you fix that?

Speaker 2 (01:58:13):
I mean, like those Florida teams should not exist. Ye,
Like if they closed the doors, I wouldn't feel any
certain way because they're just they're not supported.

Speaker 3 (01:58:25):
It's it's dragged. You can't keep players, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:58:29):
And I wonder if at some point Oakland will go
after one.

Speaker 3 (01:58:32):
Of those teams.

Speaker 2 (01:58:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. All right, big al We're coming
up next. Don't go anywhere, fellas on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (01:58:42):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 3 (01:58:45):

West on a.

the show today, from the football in bed conversation to

(01:59:20):
all of the Georgia Alabama stuff, it's there for you
right on the podcast. So wherever you get your podcasts,
it starts Fox Sports Radio and check it out.

Speaker 3 (01:59:29):
So you missed any of it, you got it right there.

Speaker 2 (01:59:31):
As soon as we get off the air podcasts, we'll
be going up all right, all right, Jason Fitz Anthony.

Speaker 3 (01:59:38):
Gargano, as we get ready for a big game.

Speaker 2 (01:59:41):
Let's do before we go to Brad, because we'll have
Brad coming up in about a half hour a right,
and we'll go through it from a gambling perspective. Let's
go through the week through a football perspective, my boy,
and we'll go through the games. I will also make
some picks if we like them, some of the big

(02:00:03):
ones in college today. Old Miss gets Kentucky. Kentucky, who
was so tough, so tough against Georgia, now has to
play that Old Miss team.

Speaker 3 (02:00:17):
That's nasty at the grove, buddy.

Speaker 6 (02:00:20):
Yeah, and look, there's gonna be much different game. I
don't think Kentucky is who they met last week against Georgia.

Speaker 4 (02:00:26):
It just this is this is ole Miss gonna come
in and make a statement.

Speaker 6 (02:00:30):
And I also think that's the beautiful. There's not a
lot of transitive property in sports, but there is transitive awareness. Right,
So if you're link ivin, you just got the opportunity
to look at your entire locker room and say, see what.

Speaker 4 (02:00:42):
Happened here right, Like, we can't have a letdown.

Speaker 6 (02:00:44):
We got to be focused. Look at how great they
were against Georgia. Like it becomes part of the easy sales. Bitch,
this is gonna be slaughter, I think, And it has
to be right now, because if you're old miss, everything
is about priming to make sure that you already. This
is a team that was a very popular playoff pick
coming into the season for a reason. So I expect
them to come out with an extra pep in their

(02:01:06):
step because of what happened last week with Georgia.

Speaker 3 (02:01:09):
Yeah, I'm I'm with you. Uh, let's keep going.

Speaker 2 (02:01:13):
Uh. Oklahoma State, K State, that's an early one, and
that in that one.

Speaker 3 (02:01:22):
K State is a five and a half point favorite.
That's a good game.

Speaker 4 (02:01:26):
Now.

Speaker 6 (02:01:26):
Also, we in the lost in all of the conference
conversation is that we have no idea who's gonna win
the Big Twelve right now? Like no, it's we're still
waiting for somebody to step up and really be the
dominant team in this conference. I think this game is
pretty interesting because these two teams are really evenly matched.

(02:01:48):
It's one of the more telltale like who's gonna who's
gonna step up and stand out? I think it's really good. Yeah,
are you leading one way or the other on this one?

Speaker 2 (02:01:58):
I like k State in this game, but and I
would lay it. But when I look at Oklahoma, Oklahoma
play Tennissee's now a game was in Oklahoma, right, but
they played Tennessee tough, Tennessee's great, And I thought they
you know, they hung in there, would you agree?

Speaker 6 (02:02:19):
Yeah, no, they hung in there for a minute. I'll
give them that they hung in there for a minute.
I'm not sure what to make your case date yet.
I just think we got to see more, you know,
before we know what to make a case. State like
the Big Twelve just feels like it's a little lost
to me, it's good. It's a good test table, like
the litmus test, where it's like, let's see where the
where the line in the sand is. I don't have

(02:02:39):
a leaning one way or the other. I'm out on
actually playing the game.

Speaker 2 (02:02:43):
Notre Dame Louisville Notre Dame seven point favorite.

Speaker 3 (02:02:47):
I love the Iris in this game.

Speaker 6 (02:02:50):
And Louisville has never beaten a top twenty five team
on the road, so like that's just such an a
weird And now Louisville had to take buses up there
because of the storm in the This is just I
would love to see Louisville come out and just you know,
hammer them, just because I think that's interesting for college football.
But man, this is this is an important game for

(02:03:11):
Notre Dame. And because remember Notre Dame lost any runway
they have, so now they can't just win. They got
to win convincingly every single week, I think to make
the college football playoffs. So I Notre Dame's backs up
against the wall, even though it doesn't seem like it
to a lot of people.

Speaker 4 (02:03:26):
I think a little desperation there. Let's see how they look.

Speaker 6 (02:03:29):
But man, I would love for Louisville to come out
and just shock the world on that one.

Speaker 4 (02:03:33):
That's great game.

Speaker 2 (02:03:36):
Else we got an action, we got Okay, speak of Oklahoma.
Oklahoma at Auburn. What do you make in this game?
Alburn's a one point favorite, Auburn's just bad.

Speaker 6 (02:03:49):
Man Like I these are two teams. Oklahoma has mishandled
their quarterback position, and that's the sort of thing that
if you're not preventable, it gets a lot of people fired.
Let's remember that Dylan Gabriel is in Oregon because Oklahoma's like, no,
we're all set, that's great, and Dylan Gabriel is trying
to put together a Heisman campaign. I think Oklahoma would
like to have a real quarterback right now. But Auburn's

(02:04:12):
just not good. Like Auburn's not only not good, I'm
not sure Auburn's really talented. So now Oklahoma's got to
They've got to find these wins, though, because this thing
gets really off the rails if they can't beat a
team like Auburn. I think Oklahoma wins this game. But
it's also eye opening that both of these programs have
gotten where they.

Speaker 2 (02:04:27):
Are now, I know, and then next week they got Texas,
the Red River will be filled with blood, all right,
that's for sure, sooner blood. And then they're home so
South Carolina and then they're at the Grove, so then
they have to go to Old Bess. So they got

(02:04:49):
two nasty ones coming up. They better win this game.

Speaker 6 (02:04:52):
Which is also why I keep saying all schedules are
not created equal in college football. We need to remember
when we have this conversation about Texas's first year in
the SEC versus Oklahoma's first year in the SEC, Let's
let's calm it down a little bit, like the schedules
for those those two teams are.

Speaker 4 (02:05:07):
A little different. Now, I think that has to be
part of the context.

Speaker 2 (02:05:11):
Yeah, you're spot on. How about Texas text play Mississippi State. Now,
I know Mississippi State is not not good, right, but
Texas is at thirty seven and a half point favorite
like that, Like Mississippi State's not Prairie.

Speaker 3 (02:05:28):
View A in A and M. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (02:05:32):
Yeah, but Texas is just that good.

Speaker 3 (02:05:34):
No, they are.

Speaker 2 (02:05:35):
I just a test I only said it as a
testimony to how good Texas is that they would be
a thirty seven and a half point favorite against Mississippi State.

Speaker 4 (02:05:45):
That is I believe crazy.

Speaker 6 (02:05:48):
That is great, and Mississippi State is quickly becoming wildly
irrelevant in this landscape, like when you look at what
old mississ doing versus what Missisippi State is doing, like
in a spend economy.

Speaker 3 (02:05:58):
Yeah they got last.

Speaker 4 (02:05:59):
Yeah yeah they got lapped in now I don't know.
Like the toughest thing in.

Speaker 6 (02:06:03):
Sports I believe for a team or program is to
regain relevance, like once you have lost it, Like it's worse.

Speaker 4 (02:06:10):
Than being bad as being irrelevant.

Speaker 6 (02:06:12):
And right now it feels like Mississippi State is actually
irrelevant and that's kind of crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:06:16):
Yep, great Big Ten game tonight. It gets lost with
Georgia and Alabama, but it is a terrific one. Penn
State and Illinois battlely on Beaten's Penn State big number
man nineteen and a half. I think it's a little fat.
I think Penn State wins the game, but I think

(02:06:36):
it's a fat line.

Speaker 4 (02:06:38):
It feels it feels beefy to me. And Illinois.

Speaker 6 (02:06:42):
I mean they're four to oh for only I think
the fourth time since nineteen thirty six. Like that's kind
of crazy when you think about but they get a
lot of They get a lot of credit for what
they did to Nebraska. That was a big win for
Illinois over Nebraska. Nebraska team that was getting a lot
of respect. But this Penn State team, new offensive coordinator,
You're driving the ball down the field, Drew Aller playing well.

(02:07:02):
Like I'm excited to see what Penn State looks like
when they hit the meta there. It feels like in
all of this, all of these teams are going to
make the playoffs. Conversation, it feels like sometimes we're just
forgetting Penn State is out there. I really like Penn
State to come out and make a statement, But I
do think the numbers fat.

Speaker 3 (02:07:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:07:18):
I like Galler. I'm a big Aler fan. I think
he's got a great arm. I'm with you. I like
the new OC. I like what they're doing all right,
and then of course we talk about it all morning.
Georgia and Alabama, and Georgia is a one point favorite. Man,

(02:07:38):
oh man. I mean this has first of all, it
has on They're written all over it, but it also
has I like Alabama, I do. I just think that
I think the matchup is Alaba. I think mil Row
is the difference.

Speaker 6 (02:07:57):
Yeah, and It's interesting to me that I really believed
that Klen de Boor's offense would take a minute. If
you go back and look at what he did Washington.
He had veterans on that team all over the place,
he had a quarterback, that quarterback. It's just it really
mattered to the way that offense executed. I did not

(02:08:18):
anticipate them coming together as quickly as they did with
Jalen and Kaylen de Boor, and that is that's absolutely happened.
So yeah, I'm I'm leaning Alabama here by a touchdown,
like I think Alabama wins this game. And I'm genuinely
because like Georgia cannot afford to fall down fourteen nothing.
If they do, I don't know how they pull themselves

(02:08:38):
back into it. I don't trust their offense right now.
So I have a lot more trust for the quarterback
situation in Alabama. I have the more trust for Alabama
being able to land explosive plays like I think Alabama
wins this game.

Speaker 3 (02:08:51):
And George is a little vulnerable on the ground, yep.

Speaker 2 (02:08:56):
And that's you know, with a guy like Milroe, that's dangerous,
dangerous recipe.

Speaker 6 (02:09:04):
Yeah, it's like I said earlier too, I don't know
how you best stop it, because if your answer is
to stack the box or spy Milroe to try and
stop the run, if you're Georgia, you are going to
get beat on the outside. These these weapons are too
good for Alabama, so totally. I think they can beat
you a bunch of different ways, which you mentioned in earlier.

(02:09:24):
You love a team that can be variable in what
they do. Alabama can beat you in variable ways if
you're Georgia.

Speaker 3 (02:09:33):
All right, let's go go to the NFL. Shall we?

Speaker 2 (02:09:36):
Yeah, run through some games Jets Broncos early. Of course,
the Broncos last week go into Tampa. Tampa decimated on
the line, but Denver controlled that game start to finish,
and bow Nicks played well. The Peyton you know, is

(02:09:59):
the league coach, and they harassed Mayfield. They were able to,
you know, really shut down that Buccaneers offense.

Speaker 6 (02:10:08):
I'm still stunned by what we saw from boon NICKX
last week. I really am, like, I think bo has
a chance to be pretty good. But man, the Broncos
looked like World Peters. And now they get a Jets team,
you know in New York. I feel like this leans
Jets that that defense to the Jets has not played
as well as we thought, but they're still better. Like
they're still going to be able to I think slow

(02:10:28):
down bon Nix, and you know, I wouldn't want to
take on this version of Aaron Rodgers. This third down
efficiency from Aaron Rodgers so far this season has been
wildly impressive too, so a lot of credit this. I
don't believe the Broncos are a good football team. I
just think last week happened. So I do believe the
Jets are a pretty good football team though.

Speaker 4 (02:10:46):
Win that game.

Speaker 3 (02:10:48):
Yeah, I'm with you, all right. Jordan Love has been practicing.

Speaker 2 (02:10:57):
He looks like he's going to get ready to play,
and this will be a fascinating game. Packers against the
undefeated Vikings Green basic to an end point favorite.

Speaker 6 (02:11:09):
Yeah, And the thing of it is Jordan Love getting
back will help. But let's not pretend that Jordan Love
was lights out before he got hurt. You know, I
think there's a little element of a bit of an
adjustment for Jordan this year, and I think most of
us expected a little of that Aaron Jones revenge.

Speaker 4 (02:11:26):
Game for the Vikings.

Speaker 6 (02:11:27):
I like Minnesota here, but it's mostly because what have
we seen from Green Bay yet that we know that
we can transfer into this game, And to me, the
answer is very little. So you know, it's the proof
of concept.

Speaker 3 (02:11:38):
I like.

Speaker 6 (02:11:38):
And as hot as Minnesota has looked offensively as efficient,
is that they looked offensively.

Speaker 4 (02:11:44):
I think the Vikings win this football game.

Speaker 3 (02:11:46):
Really.

Speaker 6 (02:11:47):
Yeah, I'm skeptical on Jordan Love's you know, I mean
Global dominates first game.

Speaker 2 (02:11:55):
It was one game first, the first game in Brazil,
and he still froze for two sixty two touchdowns.

Speaker 4 (02:12:04):
Yeah, but it was okay, it was okay.

Speaker 3 (02:12:07):
I think Jordan Loves looking at the scenario.

Speaker 4 (02:12:09):
Right.

Speaker 2 (02:12:09):
The scenario was it's game one where you don't play
a lot in the preseason and it's in Brazil on
a bad field.

Speaker 6 (02:12:18):
I agree with all of that, but also wildly inaccurate
on some of those stories. Absolutely just not even close
on some of the receivers, A bad pick in that game.
Like there, I think Jordan Love is going to be good.
I just think this is part of Jordan Love. Early
in the season last year, he was wildly inaccurate and
then it all sized and he got hot.

Speaker 4 (02:12:38):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but but.

Speaker 6 (02:12:40):
Or of greater bad or half of the season, or
he's just got hot quarterback got hot, like I want
to see more before I've fallen. I am not on
the Jordan Love fan club yet. I'm in the Jordan
Love cynical but possible. Like we've gone on some dates.
I'm not sure she's the one. I feel like there's
this element where it's you're I.

Speaker 3 (02:13:00):
Don't even figure you're calling her.

Speaker 4 (02:13:03):
No, no, I mean I'm calling her, but I'm not
calling I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:13:06):
We're like talk about it afterthought.

Speaker 6 (02:13:09):
We're lightly texting. We're lightly texting at this point. I
can't tell if she's crazy. I don't know, like the
it's just like I I can't and I don't want
to get into this old thing. I don't want to
fall in love with her because I'm not sure she's
really the one. Like I think, you know, I'm I'm
keeping slow and steady, like we're definitely like we're definitely
not going for any inhibitedibity after the third date like

(02:13:29):
that that we're not to that point yet. We're slow
and steady on this one.

Speaker 3 (02:13:34):
That's interesting. Man, that's you were you were like you
were called Daniel Jones. Would you call mediocre mediocre.

Speaker 4 (02:13:46):
Okay, I'm not sure I'm going to end up any
better than Daniel Jones. I'm not sure yet. What Yeah,
I'm not sure. I just I look back you in.

Speaker 2 (02:13:56):
A world to quote you, in a world that Jordan
Love and Daniel Jones are on the same are equal.

Speaker 4 (02:14:05):
They're playing in the same same sandbox. One might be
a little better.

Speaker 3 (02:14:08):
I don't think at all. I think, man, what I think?

Speaker 2 (02:14:12):
One sandbox is o Wahu and the other one is
the river back in Philadelphia.

Speaker 4 (02:14:23):
Oh, I love every ounce of that.

Speaker 3 (02:14:26):
Look.

Speaker 6 (02:14:27):
Jordan Love had some really awful moments last year, and
then he had some really good ones.

Speaker 2 (02:14:31):
It was his first year, and he got better.

Speaker 6 (02:14:36):
But Will Levis is only eight nine starts into his
career too, and Will Levis stinks, like I can't say this.

Speaker 4 (02:14:46):
Loud is bad.

Speaker 2 (02:14:48):
Okay, But Jordan Love start off, he had four really
good games right early in his career. To start first year.
He goes to a dip, which is understandable for a
rookie quarterback, comes out of the dip and he's great,
like very very good. He goes in the Dallas and

(02:15:11):
the play. Your squad goes in the Dallas and bubbles them, like,
I don't know what's not why you what you are
always kept the little against I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (02:15:22):
I need more proof concept. I don't fall in love
with the quarterback until where.

Speaker 2 (02:15:25):
Yeah, I'm here overly like for you to even say
that during the same sentence, Dale Jones.

Speaker 6 (02:15:35):
Well, Daniel Jones got paid because he had a good
playoff game too, Like I mean.

Speaker 4 (02:15:39):
That that's.

Speaker 3 (02:15:42):
Because he ran the ball, but still he had a
good player.

Speaker 4 (02:15:45):
He showed he showed it up that people are like,
we must pay Daniel Jones stupid.

Speaker 3 (02:15:50):
I shout it at the time, it was ridiculously stupid.

Speaker 6 (02:15:53):
I'm not sure that paying Jordan Love isn't going to
prove to be equally ridiculously stupid.

Speaker 4 (02:15:58):
Like I just it's so early in this process. I need.

Speaker 6 (02:16:01):
I need way more from Danton from Jordan Love before
I fall. I need way more from Jordan before I fall.

Speaker 2 (02:16:07):
No, but I'm saying, like you, you sound like you're
I can't even caut aptimistic. You're not optimistic. Yeah, Like
that's I hear no optimism there.

Speaker 6 (02:16:20):
The way I look at it, like, look if he
comes in and plays the way he played in the
last game and in the first game of this season.
They're going to lose. He was inaccurate, he wasn't good enough.
He just it didn't ball placement was terrible at.

Speaker 3 (02:16:33):
That post game twenty nine points.

Speaker 4 (02:16:37):
I don't care. He wasn't good enough. It wasn't good enough.

Speaker 2 (02:16:41):
And now he's had a couple more weeks off. First
he puts up twenty nine points.

Speaker 6 (02:16:46):
He stakes he's he wasn't good enough and he's got
to play better to beat this Vikings team. All right,
I mean this is only the second game of the season.
We think he really knocked off Rust while he was
trying to come back from the injury.

Speaker 2 (02:16:59):
I mean, no, listen, I get why you look Minnesota.
I'm not in love with the game. I get it.

Speaker 3 (02:17:06):
You know. My man Nikky goes, how about this on
the tax board.

Speaker 2 (02:17:12):
He's in love with Dak, but he ignoores text from
from Kim Crawford.

Speaker 6 (02:17:22):
Okay, that is that. I like that analogy. I appreciated.
Dak is still better than that. If I had the
choice today between Dak and his current money and Jordan
Love and his current money, I would take Dak.

Speaker 2 (02:17:38):
Wow, I wouldn't I take Love. Love has got a
way better arm. Love's got a good arm. He's got
a plus arm.

Speaker 4 (02:17:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so did Jeff.

Speaker 2 (02:17:53):
George man to give me Jeff George George. Oh my god,
Jeff George is just catching strays for no.

Speaker 6 (02:18:11):

so we're gonna go through uh some good stuff with

We'll go over the hard with the brain are betting analysts.

(02:19:02):
But first let's get the update, Kevin.

Speaker 8 (02:19:05):
Yeah, we're in full swing of college football for this week.
We barely made it to Saturday, but the game between
Miami and Virginia Tech had itself a controversial ending last
night down in South Florida.

Speaker 9 (02:19:17):
Roads takes drops walks, walks still looking fires for the
end zone.

Speaker 13 (02:19:23):
It is juggling around, It's still loose, touchdown, cooking and
throwing a touchdown, cooking and rolling a touchdown.

Speaker 6 (02:19:33):
After funding review, the rolling on the field in his reverse,
it's an into three cut.

Speaker 8 (02:19:38):
A winning moment for the University of Miami Cal Curcy
of the Miami Sports Network as the seventh ranked Hurricanes
moved to five and oh, holding out Virginia Tech thirty
eight thirty four as the Hokies hail Mary after being
ruled a completed catch and a touchdown overturned on review
as the receiver was determined to be out of bounds
when he made that catch, and the Hurricanes come away

(02:19:59):
with the victory. Rutgers gets by Washington twenty one eighteen.
Don't look now, but the Scarlet Knights now four and oh.
As for the Huskies, they're three and two and now
dropped to one and one in their first ever campaign
in the Big Ten NBA Blockbuster trade on Friday Night
as Julius Randall Karl Anthony Town's getting swapped for each

(02:20:21):
other as the Minnesota Timberwolves big Man going to New
York in exchange for Randall and Donovan Devincenzo. Minnesota also
getting a twenty twenty five top thirteen protected first round
pick from New York via the Pistons and the Hornets.
Also a part of this trade, they will received draft compensation.
Major League Baseball Marlins manager Skip Schumacher will not return

(02:20:42):
next season, and he informed his team of the news
after the team's win against the Blue Jays on Friday night.
But the Chicago White Sox setting a new record for
futility one hundred and twenty one losses, the most in
the modern era. That's after they fell to the Detroit
Tigers four to one, and they just do still have
a couple of games to go back over.

Speaker 2 (02:21:02):
The fellas there we are fellas from the tyreq dot
com studios.

Speaker 3 (02:21:06):
All right, uh, we got the brain with us. Let's
get right to it.

Speaker 2 (02:21:10):
Georgia, Alabama Brain Monster game. It's didn't that everybody's gonna
be the whole world's watching, Clarson, You.

Speaker 14 (02:21:23):
Are right, my friend. It should be Listen, it should
be a great game. The game itself, Anthony, man, it
is a tough game. I mean it it's just a
razor thing game in terms of you know, the spread,
and it really should be right. I mean, you look
at this team this game and you're like, Okay, Georgia,
you know what came in is the number one team,
and offensively they've shown some real potential. You know, I

(02:21:48):
don't want to say works, but they do talk about
the playmakers, right, I don't think they have the playmakers
if they've had in the past, and I think it's
shown out. I mean, listen, when you look at that
game against can Talk, you know they barely they barely
could move the ball. Now I know Kentucky is a
decent team, Yeah, I means, oh that's nothing. Nothing. Look

(02:22:15):
the way I bet this game, and a gun to
my head, I say Alabama wins it, but I'm not
betting it. If I like the under, you could still
get some forty nine and halves out there. Even at
forty nine. I like the under. I see a game
where I'm like, I respect both defenses a lot. Obviously
both quarterbacks are really really good. But I just don't know. Again,

(02:22:36):
if we can think of Georgia, Alabama, Anthony and all
the playmakers both these teams have had throughout the years,
It's like you could lift, It's like you know, you
could make a list it would take you two hours
to write down, right, don't think we have that this year.
I say this game is played more in the low twenties.

Speaker 4 (02:22:55):
Agreed, I agree, Agree, that's I think we got. I
agree with that totally.

Speaker 6 (02:23:02):
Let me switch skars to another game we talked a
little bit about earlier. But I feel like not a
lot of people are paying attention to Penn State Illinois.
Illinois right number nineteen right now. I can't figure out
if that's fair, if that's realistic for where they are
and Penn State ranked number nine, feel like they're forgotten
right now?

Speaker 4 (02:23:19):
Where do you see this game falling?

Speaker 14 (02:23:21):
You know what's interesting? Game like? Because you're right, Look,
Penn State's very good, and I mean this is probably
this has to be playoffs for BUSS for Penn State,
and I think it's going to be playoffs now. Illinois,
you know, they had a huge win in Nebraska. Win
was a great game and it could have gone either way.
They you know, got a couple of breaks and they
wanted Altmeyer is a guy who last year I thought

(02:23:43):
kind of stunk, to be honest, this year he's played
really well and again he took yourself, is it real
is it fake? Pardoner? Look, I still think the line
it's now it was eighteen and a half. I sit
down at eighteen. I still think it's a tad too high. Honestly,
I think Illinois can keep this one somewhat close. But again,
I know the lot Nitney Lions are really good. The

(02:24:04):
question is, you know, are they elite elite or is
it just a typical Penn State How ten and two,
nine and three team? We will see noois played well.
I definitely lean Illinois here and then I think the
line is still I would have made the line closer
like fIF team, to be honest with you. And if
you can get closer to eighteen, I think Onnoly may
marrit A play. I think they keep this one at
least somewhat close.

Speaker 2 (02:24:25):
Okay, all right, I like Ole miss early Curious Susan,
what do you think about that? I just think Kentucky
I think this game could get out of hand.

Speaker 14 (02:24:38):
Yeah, well, listen, Anthony, Look there are thing with Kentucky.

Speaker 3 (02:24:41):
Right.

Speaker 14 (02:24:41):
They're a team that defensively has played well, not the
South Toronto game, but they but you saw against what
the Dyan Georgia, but offensively don't really have the chops
all Miss. Look, this is a team that absolutely, in
my opinion, can win the national championship. I mean, Lane
Kiffings done an incredible job. This line has been bet down.

(02:25:05):
This line actually was at eighteen. Now it's down a
like fifteen and a half. Listen, the only way I
could look here is the old Miss side. Because of
what you said. I think they have the best offense
in the nation. I really really do. But again, we're
facing a Kentucky team that obviously showed against Georgia they

(02:25:26):
have the ability to play elite teams close. That being said,
this is a different situation. That game was at home.
This game is on the road, and Georgia didn't have
the offense that ole Miss has. I think Ole Miss
does cover this game fifteen and a half. Again, it's
back down a few points. I think maybe a little
bit of value on them.

Speaker 6 (02:25:46):
All Right, So one game that I think is not
particularly interesting, but interesting from a betting standpoint, Ohio State's
taken on Michigan State. Ohio State always beats Michigan State.
Michigan State the record probably is better than they are,
but we haven't you know how to State play. Absolutely
anybody so how do you see that?

Speaker 14 (02:26:04):
Listen, I actually agree with you and what you just said,
I agree with you one hundred percent. Ohio State's interesting,
all the thing about the twenty million dollar team and
the hype that they got. And look in my initial
power ratings, I actually had Ohio State ranked one.

Speaker 3 (02:26:19):
I did.

Speaker 14 (02:26:20):
I've not really been that impressed with them. I really haven't. Now.
The problem is, these are two teams that I really
don't love either one. To be honest with you, I
don't love Michigan State, and I am waiting to pick
on Ohio State and a game where I think that
they're overrated. This could be it because I really do
think Ohio State from what I've seen, I don't think

(02:26:41):
this is going to be a championship Ohio State team,
which before the year I thought I had a chance
to be. Now I'm not so sure. Lean here in
Michigan State again, I'm waiting for that right time to
go against Ohio State. Not sure if this is the
spot because I just don't trust this Michigan State team enough.
But Michigan State would be an easy side for me.

Speaker 2 (02:27:00):
All right, let's go to the NFL brain and UH
tomorrow night, is the game that the Well, we have
two amazing matchups tonight with Georgia and Alabama Georgia Alabama.

Speaker 3 (02:27:12):
And tomorrow night Baltimore Buffalo. Why that's heavyweight.

Speaker 14 (02:27:20):
Well, you know, look, guys, we just saw Buffalo come off.
You know, listen nicely. It's in might have been you
get the recency bias, although it's not necessarily showing in
the line. But Buffalo destroyed a Jacksonville team that was
just put on a platter there for them, so to speak.
I think Jacksonville is really potentially like bad Buffalo. They

(02:27:40):
had a I don't want to say fortunate win, but
a very game. They could have easily lost Week one
to Arizona, and then you know, we watched them. They
two would gets injured and they obviously win that game.
They would have won that game anyway, and fantish to them,
and then they destroy Jacksonville. I think the Ravens look
notwithstanding the horrible loss in Week two, the Raiders. I

(02:28:01):
still in my power ratings, I actually still think the
Ravens are a slightly better team. Okay, I have the
Ravens about a point half better in my power ratings.
I may be a little bit of an I'm all that,
but maybe other people have the Bills Rats is the
better team, but I like Buffalo. I'm saying Baltimore here
minus the two, I think I do have the better
team here. I think I'm at home. I think we

(02:28:21):
saw against Dallas last week again. I know the final
score was somewhat close because they recovered some moms like
it's at the end. I think Baltimore is better than Buffalo,
and I don't know if Buffalo is gonna be able
to keep winning these games without having I mean, they
arguably the best player in the world right now on
Josh Allen, but I don't know if I see enough
weapons on his team. Cooks really good running back. I

(02:28:42):
think eventually some of these better the teams he faces,
their offenses in the small of them what we've been
seeing so far. So I actually did that Baltimore, and
I think Baltimore went just won by I'll say at
least touchdown.

Speaker 3 (02:28:52):
Actually, So what do.

Speaker 4 (02:28:54):
You What do you do? On Monday night with Seattle Detroit?

Speaker 2 (02:28:58):
And I asked my real questa, what did I tell you?
Did I tell you because we don't talk? Did I
tell you? Brain would be all over Baltimore.

Speaker 6 (02:29:07):
You told me it was gonna be all over Baltimore.
You guys are both worn. Buffalo is gonna win the game.
But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

Speaker 4 (02:29:12):
It's fine.

Speaker 6 (02:29:13):
I say that, But my bank account says that the
brain's been far better at this than I am, because
I'm getting nothing but my ass whop this year. But yes, Anthony,
you were a thousand percent. You're on thousand percent right.
So Seattle, Seattle, Detroit. And the reason I asked is
because I've watched the Seattle games and their record is

(02:29:33):
far more impressive than they've been. It's just like they're
in these tight, ugly games every week and I can't
figure out if they're actually any good. And they're taking
on Detroit in Detroit on Monday Night football with an
explosive offense against the Detroit secondary that might be gettable.

Speaker 4 (02:29:47):
So what do you see there for Seattle?

Speaker 14 (02:29:50):
You know, its interesting. The Seattle is a team I
took them over season win tho. If I like, I
like the head coach McDonald was a guy that I
thought would do a good job thus far he has. Yeah, listen,
they got fortunate to beat the England. You know that
was a game easily for loss in one in overtime.
Now they play's completely impocant Miami team. Well, I almost
don't even I can't even look at that game because

(02:30:11):
probably at the quarter that I played with Miami and
they beat Denver in Week one. Look, I think this
line's actually a little bit too short, uh, To be
honest with you, Look, I think you could argue with
Detroit's the best team in the NFC. Now, they definitely
have some injuries Detroit, which is a pause for concern,
But infrastructurally, I just like the fact they have those

(02:30:31):
two dominant running backs, really good receivers. I don't know
if we're gonna see Sam a Porter or not, but
I actually thought this line should have been at least
maybe two points higher, and it actually opened it five.
A couple of respected handicappers dave out uh Seattle on
this one. I don't personally agree with that. I always
like Detroit in prime time at home. On top of it,

(02:30:53):
I think Detroit is the better team here, even though
Seattle started off three and zero. I think I that
kind of a vastly better team in Detroit, And I
think three hamps too short.

Speaker 3 (02:31:03):
I really do I agree with you. I love the Lions.
I just think the Lions. I love them.

Speaker 2 (02:31:11):
I think I'm smelling a double digit SmackDown. I'd love Detroit.
Love them Monday night. All right, So any games that
you like today or tomorrow we have not covered.

Speaker 14 (02:31:25):
Yeah, well it's just try. You could still get some
two and hands out there. Atlanta I like over the Saints.
Now I got lucky. I bet this brower in the
week before the injury news came out, Chris A Lave
I have a pre decent chance. I think he may
not play. And if that's the case for the Saints team,
I think you're going to see a Saints team. Watching
me against Philadelphia last week, they seem pretty limited offensively anyway,

(02:31:48):
very conservative game planning. Not that Atlanta's any great team,
but actually do have them ranked. Is the better team
here at home having to faced the hardest schedule in
the NFL at the point, especially if we don't see
a Lave, I think and a half's too short. I
like Atlanta. Next. Look, this Texans Jaguars game is now
down the five. I don't really get that. I understand

(02:32:11):
that the Texans got absolutely humiliated last week, but I
still do trust this as a good team Jacksonville and me,
I think this could be one of these. It wouldn't
shock me if we see, like, honestly, like a four
and thirteen Jacksonville year. I'm not even sure if we
know Trevor Lawrence is good. I think that line is
too short. I'll give you another one. Listen at home,

(02:32:32):
you can still lay two and a half. But when
they announced that Jordan Love for sure is playing, which
I'm ninety nine percent we're going to see. As much
as I love what the Vikings have done, I think
Green Bay is a really good team too. I think
that at home they will win that game by at
least a field goal. I think it's an incredibly improved
Vikings team. I like that game quite a bit. So

(02:32:53):
those are some of the NFL games, guys that I'm
looking at.

Speaker 3 (02:32:58):
Perfect Any college real quick? Any other college? Yeah? College?

Speaker 14 (02:33:02):
Well, I talked about. You know, it's funny, the un
l D thing. It's interesting. The quarterback from EU and OV.
I'm I'm sure everyone you guys have heard the story. Yeah,
Matthew Sluca was sposely promised one hundred thousand dollars and
you get the money. You and to Lee's had this
really nice start with a three and oh he quit
the team. Okay, they went from a four point favorite

(02:33:23):
to a two point dog. Now it's since come back
when they're now labor favored by one and a half.
But here's the thing. I from what I have been
able to gather and everything I research on it, it
seems like to me, like the backup this guy Hodji
Millie Williams who started three years at Campbell when he
had over eight thousand casting yards and almost two thousand
rushing yards. I don't think the downgrade is going to

(02:33:44):
be that high. And plus I like it, but this
is now going to be a US against the world
to me mentality for you to do. I like you,
and I I think you and o V beats a
decent I won't go on men above that decent Fresno
State team. You could lay one in any up points.
I like that texting and m Arkansas I kind of
think that. Look, Connor Wegman, I think is going to return.

(02:34:07):
Whether he does or does, I don't think he's that
great anyway to me, these teams. I think that these
teams have been even I don't know why that's lying six.
I really don't. I don't think texting M deserves to
be a six point favorite. I really don't. I thought
this flyne has been close to three, so I think
A and M is I'm sorry. I think Arkansas is

(02:34:28):
a very live dog here catching in my opinion, three
points too many. Ye, I'm under an Iowa State Houston
guys Houston horrible offensively, Iowa State elite defensively. I mean,
this is going to be like a twenty four three
cunning game.

Speaker 2 (02:34:46):
Brad's Best Bets dot Com Brad's Best Bets dot Com.
He's the brain. We appreciate him every week. Where the
Fellas back to wrap it up next A welcome back
to the Fellas, Jason fitz I'm Anthony Gargan, hanging out

the windows right now. So I've got ghost Face, some
scream and Michael Myers out they're making they're making moves.
And then got the Harvester of Souls out on the
front porch with the little fog machine attached to it.
That's a this guy that lifts a girl up and
like the fog makes it look like he's actually like
sucking her soul out of our body.

Speaker 4 (02:35:57):
It's a oh wow, yeah, it's all that's good.

Speaker 6 (02:36:01):

love you and I want you to bring me to
give me free stuff. I have sonas all over the
house and so today what I will do during the
early games is I will I'll put the games on
the son No system from the TV so that I
can hear.

Speaker 4 (02:36:21):
It blast absolutely everywhere.

Speaker 6 (02:36:22):
So after I get back from the gym, I will
start bringing stuff down from the attic so that I
could start sorting through. I got to put the girl
on the wall that looks like she's you know, contorting
and running up the wall.

Speaker 4 (02:36:32):
Things like that. I'll send you pictures, goes, I gotta
you know, I gotta start.

Speaker 3 (02:36:34):
Do I Actually.

Speaker 2 (02:36:38):
I was thinking at some point, if I ever get

put them in a car and drive up and see
you come.

Speaker 4 (02:36:49):
On now, come on. Yeah, it's all It's all Halloween
and football for me this week.

Speaker 6 (02:36:54):
And like, the beautiful thing about living in New England
is that it is truly like it is genuinely fall weather.

Speaker 4 (02:37:01):
So it just feels like the right.

Speaker 6 (02:37:02):
Time, you know, so i'mis because it's still it's still
like too warm here.

Speaker 3 (02:37:09):
We're still like in the eighties, like high seventies, eighty.

Speaker 6 (02:37:13):
Oh, we ain't touch it. We ain't touching that, like
it's in the mid sixties. Like the leaves are all turning,
the grasses dyeing, Like it's got that fall feel in
the Air's.

Speaker 2 (02:37:22):
Nothing better than that Merritt Parkway during the foliage.

Speaker 3 (02:37:26):
You know, God love that.

Speaker 6 (02:37:28):
Yeah, no, that's it's a weekend of Like frankly, the
hardest part is that, you know, I got so much
football to watch, which I love. It's my job and
I'm honored to do it. And there won't be a
lot of horror movies on this weekend, but I think Monday,
I'm just going to park on the couch and binge.
I might go through the entire Scream series. That's my
goal is to start at Scream one and get all

(02:37:49):
the way to the newest and just just watch screen
back to back.

Speaker 4 (02:37:51):
To back to back. Because it's been a minute.

Speaker 2 (02:37:54):
Wow, that's like you prep you take it serious, You
prep for Halloween and a series matter.

Speaker 6 (02:38:00):
Oh yeah, man, Like there are certain movies that have
to be watched, Like you know, you got to watch
Halloween one, four and five and then three, But forget
that it's a Halloween movie. Like just call it season
of the Witch, call it its own movie. Like these
are these are important things that you have to do.

Speaker 4 (02:38:13):
You know. I'm a man of tradition. I'm watching against Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:38:19):
All right, let's got a dual for us. Everybody, have
a great day. We love you, guys, and I guess
we'll see it next week. I hope.

No watching football in bed. That's the only rule. No
watching football in bed, dude.

Speaker 3 (02:38:33):
