Speaker 1 (00:01):
Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Well, that's right, you heard the man. It is that

(00:29):
pack Day, Absolute Jampack weekend. In the world of sports,
as we are in that cusp where we review the
college football Saturday, we preview the NFL Sunday, We've got
NBA news, Major League Baseball news, Caitlin Clark news, Nil
news courses. Later on the show, what kind of brand

(00:49):
new fool are you? Followed by what my name? And
even a new rinker we've tossed in. Our guy Shay
will join in. Every week we're gonna do a thing
called the Caleb Watch. The Caleb Watch, But I digress.
I think you can officially say we are living in
bizarre world. Spot to lie. How about today's college headlines?

(01:12):
Bama coughs up twenty eight point lead. Bama coughs up
twenty eight point lead. How often you see that? You
ever see that? Colorado can run the ball? Colorado can
run the ball, Colorado can play defense. Not making this up.

(01:33):
I watched these games and UNLV shakes off big time
drama and they look like, and this is not hyperbole,
a legit playoff contender as long as they keep winning.
But you've got to get to all that. But I
have to start with Alabama Georgia. When I signed off
last night a Friday night show, I said, if I

(01:56):
could only watch three games, you know, of course Bama Georgia,
how could that not be won? In Colorado TCU because
Colorado just must watch for a multitude of reasons. And
they were a fourteen point underdog to UCF. I think
the line opened at eleven and it got steamed like hell,
and so I'm guessing the books did real well on

(02:16):
that game. And then, of course UNLV and Fresnel State,
those are two quality football programs. Fresnel State went into
Michigan three weeks ago basically played him head up. The
thirty to ten score was more like a twenty three
seventeen except for a pick six, but that in fifty
cents to get you a cup of coffee at Burger Chef.
The bottom line, Alabama Georgia an instant classic, best game

(02:38):
of the year, no argument, and it looks like the
Alabama Georgia rivalry is elive and well, even though there
is no Nick Saban anymore, although he was sort of there.
My god, this is an all time classic. Their first
matchup since Saban and retired, and it looked like it
was a walk in the park when he ate nothing

(03:00):
thirty to seven, blah blah blah, and some somehow though
the Tide needed a heroic finish to secure the win.
But even at halftime, salean Or Saban made the comment
that Jalen Milroe had more yards himself than the entire
Georgia team. And they did. Milroe and the Crimson Tide

(03:21):
and the offense, milroll in the offense. They just got
off the bus. They struck first, they struck hard, They
hit the Bulldogs early and often before this feature war
on its thirty to seven and Georgia walked back to
the locker room with their head between their tails. And yeah,

(03:42):
Jalen Milrose really really, I think progressed immensely. Just look
at the numbers. Eighteen to twenty one, one hundred and
ninety nine yards a touchdown. He's he's an elite rusher
and he's as a good passer. Meanwhile, he's Connor Park.
Carson Beck he in the first half, he looked lost.

(04:03):
Bama's defense looked very good as well, through two picks
in the first through two picks in the first half
of the first time in his career, took a safety
on an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone. Then
halftime happened. I would like to if someone could somehow
get a recording of what the hell Kirby Smart said
at halftime? Are we talking win one for the Gipper?

(04:24):
We talking Ronal o'reagan, We're talking George GiB What are
we talking here? Are we talking al Pacino inches? You're
in hell. We're gonna get out of hell one inch
at a time. I don't know. What he said. Had
to be a banger, because Georgia comes out like a hosstifier.
Carson Beck was a completely different person all of a sudden.

(04:46):
He looked like he was seeing the feel like Joe Montana.
He was carving up Alabama's offense with raw efficiency, surgically
two scoring drives and each one only took two minutes
or less. Next thing, you know, you get the Bulldog
back within five in a hurry. And then just like
that Beckville was a sixty seven yard touchdown passed to

(05:06):
Dylan Bill to put the Bulldogs ahead with just a
little ower two minutes. And then you know, this is
why you never worry about if a star players out
or someone a new star. Every day in America, someone
wakes up and they're a new star. Now, Ryan Williams,
I think has been a star before. But what he

(05:26):
did Saturday night, the very next play from offense from scrimmage,
seventy five yard touchdown TV to take the lead. Just
like that. Both these teams undoubtedly the nation's best, and
you know they both can't win the national championship. Would
it surprised me if they locked horns again? Probably not.

(05:47):
But it was such an impressive, such an epic, you know,
as he used to call him, instant classic. I don't
think anybody can disagree with that, right And Caitlin de Borr,
you know I saw him at Fresnel State, I saw
him at Watchington. He was born to coach. He used
that rare generational bird and not Kenny coach. Apparently he

(06:07):
can recruit. Because it's my understanding, Ryan Williams, I thought
he was on his way. What do I know, But
I thought he was on his way to Texas, A
and M. And then all of a sudden he ended
up going to Alabama. That was last January, and that
right there may have been other than Saturday's huge win
in Alabama in Tuscaloosa. That might have been the biggest

(06:30):
win for Caitlyn de Bor and it was during the offseason.
Kids only seventeen years old. But since the start of
the season, he's been lights out. He's flashed since the
minute he stepped down the field. But he saved his
best when it mattered most Saturday night against Georgia and
look Saban lost some players, but he got some new

(06:51):
players too, Kaitlyn de Border, including Ryan Williams. Before I'm
going to get to the Colorado game in a minute,
and I'm very much gonna get to the UNLV game,
but I have to talk about Kentucky. You know, you
think of Kentucky as a basketball school, starting to think
they're more of a football school now. I mean two
weeks ago Kentucky had Georgia beat but Mark Stoops he

(07:13):
decides to punt on a short fourth down when the
game's being salted away, just a couple of minutes to go.
It'll be questioned for Kingdom come and they lost. Kentucky lost.
But Saturday Act number six, Old Miss, there are no
slouch Stoop said, hell with it. We're gonna throw care

(07:34):
to the win. We're gonna gamble it. This time it
paid off that the program, I would say fair enough.
Beating Ole Miss in Ole Miss is Kentucky's biggest win
under Mark Stukes. Fourth and seven on his own nineteen
yard line with four minutes to play, Stoop says, help
with it. I'm gonna keep the offense on the field
and went went for the first down and it worked.

(07:57):
What do they say, fortune favors the bold. Then that's
set up in an incredible sixty eight air completion to
set up the touchdown. Again, very nerve racking series of
plays and somehow then this this is called playing complimentary football.
Mark Stoop's defense figured out Jackson Dart, who I now

(08:19):
think is I was high on him. I'm not as
high as I was. But that's a conversation for a
different day, but he presigned over an explosive attack, but
Stoop's defense stopped him twice. So listen, two years ago
Kentucky had him on the ropes as well, and Mississippi
escape of the twenty two to nineteen win, but not Saturday.

(08:39):
This is quite listen. I gonna tell you this is
this is quite a win for Kentucky because Old Miss
is average almost fifty points a game, they average almost
nine yards of play. They're real, and somehow Kentucky holds
him to seventeen points and six yards to play. Now again,
under this new playoff format, Old Miss is not eliminated
from playoff competition or contention, as it were, but it

(09:02):
served as a reminder that in conference play, when you
get into the fourth fifth week of the season, you've
got film, you've got study, you've got preparation. Perhaps, and
they give Mark Stuke's credit for this. In his team,
they were able to expose exposed flaws in Mississippi's attack
that maybe teams hadn't seen prior. By the way, I

(09:27):
only am mentioning this, mentioning in this because Penn State
was an eighteen point favorite, and I shouldn't be an
eighteen point favorite against anybody. They take about two months
to score. They are they're the opposite of a highlight reel.
But they did beat Illinois. Penn State just bores me.
I like their uniforms. Well, they're flashy. They always have beened.
You see why what I did there. But Penn State

(09:48):
gets it done like twenty one to seven. And Ohio State,
who's really falling under the radar, really flowing under the radar.
Last August I went on the air with this this
high falutin metric system that grades all sorts of statistics
based on how many players are returning and offensive stats,

(10:10):
et cetera, et cetera, strength to schedule, and it actually
has Ohio State with a seventy two percent chance to
win the national title. And that would not surprise when
that happened. But they're really under the radar. Prior to
Saturday's game at Michigan State, Ohio State hadn't even played
an FBS other than they'd played a Power four team

(10:31):
all the first four games, which caused Desmond Howard to
lose his mind on TV. But freshman Jeremiah Smith keep
an eye on. There's another freshman star and Ohio States
just got an abundance of athletes. They beat Michigan State
thirty eight to seven, and it was it didn't look
hard at all. They didn't break a sweat. Finally, I

(10:56):
think you can start to ask some questions about Michigan week.
Everybody was gaga about the fact that they just ran
the ball Uss took us, which they did basically, But
if you really analyzed the game, other than that sixty
three yard run and then a thirty yard run earlier
in the game, they only averaged a couple of yards
to play, and yet Seed led that game in a
minute to go. Nonetheless, Michigan got to win. They are

(11:16):
who they are. They're not there they are, They are
not shy about who they are. They are on a
bachelor about who they are. And the bottom line is,
I think a lot of folks thought, again, I'm glad
I didn't bet any of these games, diad. The only
game I bet actually was un LB. But the point
I'm making is this, Michigan was an eleven point favorite,
and you figured it looked easy. Minnesota can't stop the run,

(11:38):
and when Michigan got up fourteen nothing, it looked like,
you know, here we go again. But somehow Minnesota got
twenty one points in the final quarter to make things interesting.
And then this is play I'll be talked about. This
is bolgoney Man the Golden Gophers. They recovered an outside
kick with two minutes to go in the game after
drawing within three, only they have a called back probably

(11:59):
incredibly questionable offside decision. Chris Peterson, who was on set,
the former Boise State and Washington coach, was visibly upset,
and so because of the offside penalty, Minnesota had to
kick it again. They didn't recover the second one, but
you know, Michigan, they couldn't move the chains and get

(12:20):
it first down, and Washington or Minnesota, darn there, got
the ball back. So in the end, you know, Michigan
gets the little brown jug But I really I think
you have to unless you are completely fanboy slappy about
Michigan and completely lack any objectivity, you have to ask
some serious questions about this Michigan team. Now they go

(12:42):
to Washington next week, and Washington is not real good,
but it's at Washington. They still got to go to
Oregon later in there, and they still got Ohio State
and they already got one loss of Texas against Texas.
But again Michigan three and one. They don't ask college
just how many. And the truth of the matter is,
or maybe they're four one. Whatever we are. We're in
the fifth week, right. The bottom line is this, it's

(13:05):
all theoretical. So Michigan can make a liar out of me.
They made a liar out of me last year. I
didn't think they'd win the National champion Championship. Coming up
the other two games that to me causes me to
believe significantly that we are in bizarre world or Colorado
UCF and UNLV Fresno State. By Bernie Fratto, we are

(13:26):
coming to a liar from the Las Vegas Fox Sports
Radio Tarret dot com studios. Don't go away. You're listening
to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
All right, back on the Bernie Frattle Show Fox Sports Radio,
coming to you live from the tarat dot com studios
here in Las Vegas. By the way, we will be
having the Physix five. Don't worry we're gonna do an
hour from now if has had a little schedule change
tonight had another oppl gation in Las Vegas, so asked
if we could do it at twelve twenty instead of
that's twelve twenty eight Pacific time instead of eleven to

(14:06):
twenty pm Pacific time. So we've got a lot to
run down tonight, full slate and a new wrinkle because
there are, believe it or not, there are some NFL
teams that have buys next week, so that effects there
are some pretty strong trends and angles that favor teams
that are heading into their bye week. All right, So
Colorado one today or Saturday at US at UCFS sixteen

(14:30):
point underdogs forty eight to twenty one. Now, to say
Colorado played their most complete game to date would be
a tremendous understatement. But if you go back the last
five weeks, no one can say Colorado's ever boring. They
had to rally their first game of the year to
beat North Dakota State, an FCS opponent, then they needed

(14:52):
a hail Mary in overtime last week to get past Baylor,
and then they had a couple of blowout wins. But
then they had that disheartening twenty eight to ten loss
to Nebraska on the road. Shudorf Sanders was sacked five times.
Don't look now Colorado's four to one. They've matched their
win total from a season ago. Now in the spring,
Deon Sanders guaranteed at least a bull berth, and after

(15:15):
he overhauled the roster, he told us he had improved
the offensive line and the defensive line. I hadn't seen it,
but something crazy happened Saturday. Okay. UCF is not some
Ham and Egger team. They're a veteran team, and Colorado's
defensive line entered Saturday's contest ranked one hundred and second

(15:39):
nationally in sacks per game with just one. But on
Saturday they lived in UCF's backfield. They sacked the quarterback
kJ Jefferson five times. They had thirteen tackles for loss. Incredible.
It's shocking if you followed college football this year. Not

(16:00):
only that Colorado held UCF to two hundred yards under
and two hundred yards below there's season average. You seef
the number one rushing team in the country, the number
one offense in the country. But they didn't just beat UCF.
They beat it by twenty seven. That's Colorado's largest road

(16:22):
conference when since they beat Oklahoma State in the Still
Water thirty four to nothing back in two thousand and five.
By the way, this is the second time now that
Dion Sanders has won outright as a double digit underdog,
even though some late money did come in on Colorado
to drive that line from sixteen back down to twelve

(16:43):
and a half. It's funny the way that the narrative
never ends, though. So somebody was heard yelling out keep
telling them to make a sixteen point underdogs and you know,
people last d on coach Prime, if you were playing
with extra motivation because you were such a large underdog,

(17:04):
And in true to form, Dion said, quote, we're underdogs
every week. Ain't nobody want to see us win except
our fan base. That's just the nature of the game.
We're not mad about it. We know who we are.
Of course you're mad about it. Why wouldn't you be
mad about it? I'd be mad about it if everybody's
rooting against you. But you went out and did You're
talking on the field. You're always going to do your talking,
and I love Dion, but you did your talking on

(17:26):
the field, shudor outstanding again, two hundred ninety yards, three touchdowns.
Travis Hunter caught nine balls eighty nine yards a touchdown,
had a pick in the third quarter, and it was
it was NFL type player, jumped the route, hung out,
jumped the route twice. Now this season, Hunters had a touchdown,
reception and an interception in the game as he stood
and he did the Heisman posts all right. And by

(17:50):
the way, if the Heisman Trophy is really supposed to
be given to the best player in the country, how
the hell can that not be Travis Hunt? How can
it not? I mean, I covered the ninety seventeen when
Charles Woodson played for Michigan. He was phenomenal, best player
in the country. And there were a couple of times
he lined up at wide receiver in dribs and drabs,

(18:12):
as he said, true, and he was just an epic
defensive back. Everybody can remember that one interception against Ohio
State when he up about thirteen feet in the ear
and pulled it down with one on one hand. You know,
fifteen years before O'Dell Beckham did that. So I don't
know how you don't give it to Travis Huner it
doesn't matter what Colorado does. He's the best player in
the country. What are we gonna play Mickey the Duncier.

(18:32):
You don't like the kid, don't do that. He's the
best player in the country. He's getting one hundred and
thirty five snaps a game. Now. I know we have
more games left and a lot has to happen, but
he'd sure getting my vote. But it wasn't. See here's
the other thing I noticed about Colorado on Saturday. The
issue was never whether or not you know you have

(18:53):
the you have Shoodoor Sanders, and then you have of
Travis Hunter. Okay, that's a one to two punch. That's
the biggest one two punch in all of college football.
It was the lack of a supporting cast, which most
of us pegged as the reason we didn't think Colorado
would be a factor this year. Honestly, I thought they'd

(19:14):
be like five and seven after watching their interior line
play their first two games of the season, But Saturday
showed that might not be the case. Good coaching can
make you better, they can get you to your ceiling.
Let's give these guys credit. It's a story. Colorado is
never boring, so in addition to Travis Hunter and in
addition to Shud'or Sanders, there was also Will Sheppard, a

(19:36):
terrific wide receiver. He had ninety nine yards and scored
a touchdown. Was ninety nine yards with the receptions, Cameron Silman,
Craig a ninety five fumble recovery, a ninety five yard
fumble recovery. And there was another dB not just Travis Hunter.
His name's Preston Hodge. He had a pick as well.

(19:57):
By the way, Colorado's five sacks I just mentioned came
from four different players, so you know. Dion went on
to say, I feel like we're trending in the right direction,
and they are, but let's see if they can continue it.
And I will tell you they play hard for Dion.
They celebrate after every play. But when you're four and
one and you're doing what they're doing right now, and

(20:19):
I think they have a buy next week or they're idle,
I think they call it idle in college football. Plenty
in summation, here's the deal. Plenty of what we saw
that Colorado did on Saturday was expected. Sudor Sanders completes
eighty percent of his passes. He always does almost three
hundred dollars through three touchdowns. Travis Travis Hunter lights it

(20:40):
up both sides of the ball, nine catches eighty nine
yards and a touchdown has an interception. But again, it's
the other things I didn't see comment especially at UCF,
the number one offense in the nation, the number one
running attack of the nation. Colorado's defensive line ranked one
hundred and second nationally in sacks per game, rises to
the occasion, and they punished. They punished UCF. So this

(21:04):
is going to be continually fun to watch. By the way,
if you heard me say at the top of the
hour that I think we're in bizarre world, let me
give you one other reason. The Duke, Blue Devils, Army,
Black Knights, Navy Midshipman, Indiana Hoosiers, and BYU Cougars or

(21:27):
they all have in common. They're all undefeated. They're combined
twenty three and zero. What's different about that? They combined
for a cumulative record of twenty seven and thirty four
last season. By the way, Duke and Indiana have new coaches,
Kurt Signetti. He comes over from James Madison. They hung
forty two on Maryland Saturday. I think Indiana is gonna

(21:49):
be a problem for Michigan. BYU had a incredibly impressive
home win over Kansas State. They get a big lead,
they hold on. At Baylor, Duke roars back to another
victory over you know, their in state rival, North Carolina. YadA, YadA, YadA. Yes,
it's bizarro season. But let me tell you what else
is bizarre world. We're living in a system right now

(22:11):
and it's called the nil Now. They call it the
Nile Landscape. I call it the n L Highway. So
you imagine the Nile as a highway and there are
no traffic lights or stop signs or landmarkers, there's no
guard rails, there's no enforcement. That's what we have. As
a result, there's virtually no oversight. There's no accountability, and

(22:31):
so you know, promises can be made to student athletes
that are broken. So what happens if your quarterback quits
in the middle of the season because he believed he
believes he was wronged? How does the team respond? Boy?
Did they? I gotta talk about that coming up. This
is also becoming a big story. But first go to
our guy, to chef, Kevin Wire with the lips.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
Yeah, Bernie Full slate of college football. Everything has concluded
across the country as number eight Oregon finishes off UCLA
thirty four to thirteen. Although this game had long since
been over, the DUTs carried a twenty eight ten lead
at halftime down at the Rose Bowl, big matchup of

(23:13):
the day down in Tuscaloosa, number two Georgia, Number four Alabama,
the first big test in Kalin to Boar since he
took over for Nick Saban, and they were head at
twenty eight at one point, so it looked like it'd
be an easy win for the tie. But Georgia, Oh,
they crept back and eventually they had a chance to
tie it up, but Alabama would make one last big

(23:34):
defensive play good night.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
This is month number one of the season. Beck looking
firing towards the.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
End, so that.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
Interceptorcepted, hit picked off, hits picked off, intercepted.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Alabama gets the pick, the interception is made.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
Bye Alabama getting Japan Brown with the interception and the
Crimson Tige takes it away with forty three secret Tremadi.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
That was the Alabama radio network there with the cal
Zambian Brown the interception in the end zone to seal
the win for the Crimson time forty one thirty four,
they moved to four and oh and Carson Beck on
the day three interceptions in addition to his three touchdown passes,
including that last costly one there with forty three seconds

(24:22):
to go, arch manning a couple of touchdown passes three
hundred and twenty four passing yards. Texas gets their first

Number twenty four Texas A and M twenty one seventeen
they beat Arkansas number twenty five. Boise State a blowout
at home on the blue turf against Washington State forty
five to twenty four.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Back to you, Bernie all right, Jef Well Saturday at
twelve thirty Pacific time in Legion State, even Las Vegas
made a statement, and they made a big one. It
was their first game without their former starting quarterback Matthew Sluca,
and I know he is gonna be bashed quite a bit.

(26:12):
I guess in a sense he asked for it. Let's
also not forget though the kid led the Rebels to
three and all start, and he engineered a seventy five
yard drive at Kansas with a minute fifty one to go,
So he wasn't a slouch, okay, But they replaced him
with a gentleman, a six year player, a transfer from
Campbell University. His name is Hodge Malik Williams. And from

(26:36):
the jump he showed a lot of poise and the
team really rallied behind this guy. They dominated a very
good Fresno State team, a good Fresno State program. This
is not some hammenager program. Now you own if he's
four to zero, and they're not only going to be
a contender in the Mountain West Conference race, they've got
a legitimate shot to go to this new playoff. I

(26:57):
know we're nowhere near that point yet, but they're Hodge
malink Williams threw for a buck eighty to rush for
one hundred nineteen yards, accounted for four total touchdowns. And
when you played defense the way unv plays defense, they're
very physical, they're very assignments sound. Their defensive backs have
tremendous ball skills. Barry Oldham, this is a very good

(27:19):
football team. I was at the game in Houston week
one when I saw them destroy Houston twenty seven to seven,
and I remember thinking how well they block and tackle
in their physical latitude, and they've got some stars. They
have a wide receiver named Ricky White the third he
caught ten balls one hundred and twenty seven yard Saturday,
two touchdowns, and he said, you know, the quarterback change

(27:40):
was definitely good for us. And you know why what happened.
Right after starting three games, Sluk opted a red shirt.
He was expected to the end of the transfer Portland December.
His father and agent allege he was verbally promised one
hundred grand by unov the offensive coordinator Brennan Marion during
his recruitment, but only ended up receiving three thousand. The
three thousand was for a relocation fee. I spent a

(28:08):
lot of time on that Friday night. We're gonna We're
not gonna go back to that anymore. Because people have
had a lot of strong opinions. Most people really don't
know what we're they're really talking about. The real story
here is the Rebels have been beaten by Fresno State
six times in a row, and they achieved their program's
first four to oh start since Jimmy Carter was elected president.

(28:28):
He didn't even taken office yet. And the defense, well,
they produced four interceptions, four sacks. They only gave up
thirty rushing yards. It's just Fresno State. This isn't some
Ham and Ager school. UNLB just destroyed these guys. They
had a block pump, they had a kickoff return, a

(28:50):
ninety our kickoff return. And again, what's the headline the victory.
UNLB is very much in the race for an expanded playoffs,
the new expanded twelfeen playoff spot. And I think they
can draw a line in the sand and move forward.
Now this lift they got, right, this lift they got,

(29:10):
can they continue it? Because you know, we've seen lots
of teams that respond well to failure. It's more difficult
to respond well to success. And all of a sudden
they're going to be on team's radar. But the way
they block and tackle, I gotta tell you, and I'll
tell you what. What else under flew under the radar

(29:30):
this past week was the fact that you in LV
officially decided to remain in them. On was Thursday, he
turned down to move to the PAC twelve. The PAC
twelve was now added Boise State, Colorado State President State
San Diego State and Utah State for twenty twenty six,
and the remaining schools that are in the Mountain West
are a total of seven of them. They agreed to

(29:52):
a granted rights. It's going to bind them here for
the next eight years. But look at you one's resume.
They go into Houston, a Big twelve school on the road,
they beat them. They go into Kansas, a Big twelve
school on the road. It was pre season ranked fifteenth,
and they're gonna get one more chance to take down
a Power five opportunity, a Power five opponent. I'm sorry.

(30:13):
The Rebels are home this coming Friday night against I
believe it's October third, no check out a cover fourth,
and they're gonna play Syracuse. They're gonna host Syracuse, and
that can only strengthen their college football playoff resume if
they beat Syracuse, because Syracuse comes into the game with

(30:34):
the record of three to one. So are we living
in bizarre world in college football? I kind of think
we are. I don't know what else to say about that,
because when you look at the headlines, all right, Bama,
Bama comes back from me a twenty eight point deficit.

(30:58):
When have you ever seen it dead line that says
Bama is down twenty eight. Colorado proves they can run
the ball, ran for one hundred and twenty eight against UCF.
They prove they could play defense and stop the run.
They got five sacks, thirteen tackles for lost and held UCF,
a very prolific offensive team, to their lowest output of
the year by two hundred yards. And of course, UNLV

(31:22):
they shrug off their drama earlier in the week and
they do what they do right. And what would bizarre
world be without a Hugh Freeze sighting, Auburn finds a
new way to drive themselves bananas. If you look at
the stats without the final score, it looked like Auburn
rolled over Oklahoma. They only out gained the Sooners for

(31:45):
eighty two to two ninety one. And Peyton Thorn who
got the start Saturday for Auburn, and as Hugh Freeze
continues to play musical chairs with his quarterback, he's here
for three hundred and thirty eight yards three touchdowns. However,
in a moment of knuckle had a misfortune once again,
Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers snatched defeet from the
jaws of victory. And this is another a crushing loss,

(32:08):
a crushing home loss. And again Auburn's defense did their job.
They held Oklahoma's fresh from quarterback Michael Hawkins in check,
had a careless turnover. That was the only thing, you know,
Auburn late in the game. You know, I know, it's cliche.
You can't turn the bowl over? What happened to Georgia?
They turned it over four times? How do you win
a game? And you turned it over four times? But

(32:31):
Peyton Thorden misread a defense on an option route through
a backbreaking pick six, Oklahoma wins the game all of
a sudden. Now you freeze. His record against FBS competition
is five and thirteen in his last eighteen games. Oh
by the way, Oh by the way, they go to
Georgia next. And how was your day? Auburn? Hi? Bernie

(32:53):
Frattle were Kenny lyon from the Las Vegas Fox Sports
Radio Tireck dot Com Studios. Keep it locked. You're listening
to the Bernie Fraddles Show on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
We're back at the Bernie Fotles Show Fox Sports Radio.
We are coming to live from a tarak dot Com
studios here in Las Vegas, about twelve minutes from now
Medina Magic. We have a big trade to discuss in
the NBA, which you all know about, but will break
it down from the inside. As they say. A couple things.
What happened with Matthew Sluca and the ULV quarterback's decision

(33:27):
to sit out the remainder of the season due to
his nil dispute has raised questions as to will more
disgruntled players follow I have no way of knowing. What's
what I do think as usual in December, the transfer
portal will be busting at the seams and so you know,

(33:48):
does this start a new trend of players sitting out
mid season? That's like, I guess the question once you
play it today your fourth day, if you were one
of the COVID babies, you're done you You can't read
shirt had to have opted out before the fourth game.
But that was what it was on everyone's mind in
the aftermath of the Sluca situation. Could just open the

(34:08):
floodgates for more players to do this in mid season.
I know people are batching the guy, and I in retrospect,
it's a shame. There's no nobody comes out looking good
on this part. Now you and A is going to
go and have a great season. Looks like anyway he'll
end up somewhere next year. He'll get offers. You made
route that he doesn't because of what he did. I
get that he'll get offers. He's got more leverage and

(34:32):
to think, and he'll get offers. And this isn't the
first time, you know, somebody has taken umbrage. A little
different situation because Sluca was a four year starter at
Holy Cross before he came to UNLV. But earlier this
year there was a commit There was a Florida quarterback

(34:53):
commit by the name of Jaden Rashada. He has sued Florida.
Sued Florida coach Billy Napier and two others over thirteen
point eight million in nil money. He said he was
assured but never received. That suit has not been settled.
It'll be very interesting to see where that goes. So

(35:14):
there's that this is the new world of college football.
This is the new normal. It's not always going to
be pretty. And let's you know, let's look at the
other side of the coin. Coaches coaches come and go
right left. So I mean, I guess, I guess if
it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander.
There's there's player empowerment now there just simply is it's

(35:36):
it's not like it used to be. So there's that.
I want to talk real quickly about the Chicago White Sox.
I watched him play a lot this year. They were
just under manned. I'm not going to bash him. I
told a funny story last night about the New York
Mets and when they lost there one hundred and twenty games,

(35:57):
they were kind of this lovable ragtag. They were an
expansion team, and you know they were managed by Casey Stengels,
so you know where that goes. And of course, in
two thousand and three, I covered the Detroit Tigers game dangerous,
dangerously close to break into the Mets record. They end
up one hundred and nineteen losses. I was talking about

(36:18):
Buddy Mark Wilson, a radio partner. We covered that team,
and it would like the last weekend of the season,
it was like it was like the World Series with
the way they were had first slide into bases and
going crazy, crashing into walls. So the truth of the
matter is, if you wonder how a team can can

(36:39):
lose one hundred and twenty one games. Well, they've lost
one hundred and twenty two. Now, oh no, I think
it's White Sox one Saturday, so there are one twenty one.
We'll see what happens Sunday the White Sox. Here's how
this happens. Here's some fun facts for you Chicago White
Sox fans. You know, when you're you're having your favorite beverage,

(37:01):
you can dazzle them with his knowledge. This is a
This is a an encapsulation of the season for Chicago White Sox.
They only won four games at home since July first,
four July August September four games. The Socks scored the
lowest amount of runs in baseball and andy by a

(37:24):
wide margin, by a wide margin of like over one
hundred and fifty, and scored the most the least amount
of runs at home. The White Sox this season did
not have a single hitter hit over two fifty. They
didn't have a single player with twenty home runs. They
didn't have a single hitter who scored more than fifty

(37:46):
five runs. By the way, one of the other last
place teams had five hitters who scored fifty five runs.
So he added all up, put it in a blend,
and uh, you know, let's face it. Uh, that's how
you end up at one hundred and twenty one losses.
And uh, you know, we'll see what happens next year.

(38:09):
The tooth of the matter is that baseball is an
ever changing sport and just three years ago the White
Sox are in the playoffs right coming up. Uh, this
is the kind of news that you rarely see in
the NBA in the middle of the summer because it's
there's there's odd timing to this deal, and there's some
questionable fits. I've always believed Carl Anthony Towns is a

(38:32):
damn good player. I don't know if he's a fit
with the Knicks. I'm not sure. We'll see so much
for the Villanova Knicks. Now New York is all in
and is this gonna work? Is it gonna backfire? What's
gonna happen? We're gonna find out. We're gonna talk to
Mark Mendina coming up, Adina magic. So keep it locked
right here and I will tell you. And by the way,

(38:54):
the Pheasant five will be a twelve twenty. Okay, So
don't forget because we've got We usually do it at
eleven twenty, but we'll have a twelve twenty am. Keep
it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on
Fox Sports Radio. That's right, you heard the man Bernie
Fratleshow keeps rolling right along. My name is Bernie Frownle.
We are coming to live from the tyrack dot com
studios here in Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio. Tyrack dot

(39:16):

free shipping, free road aser protection, and over ten thousand

There's a reason we do this every Saturday night at
midnight because you never know when there's gonna be news,
and there typically always is news. And that's why we

(39:40):
simply call this segment It's that time Medina Magic, Mark Medina,
our Fox Sports Radio NBA guru Mark. So where to
begin a week ago or checked out a year ago?
This week, you recall Milwaukee and Portland had the blockbuster trade.

(40:03):
Milwaukee acquired Damian Lillard, but that actually led to Drew
Holliday landing with Boston and he proved to be vital.
Here's my question, let's start here. Minnesota's coming off, there's
deepest run in decades, and the timing of this trade
is weird. Why get rid of Karl Anthony Towns now
he's still in All Stars in the middle of his career.
You got the floor?

Speaker 6 (40:23):
Yeah, well, there's a lot of things un pack. I
think that really when it comes down, this is a
concern that has everything going to do with how they
manage the salary cap moving forward, because Carltone Towns he
was just beginning a four year extension, where Joyous Randall
he could agree to an extension. He's going to be

(40:44):
a free agent this season. I was actually talking to
a GM a few weeks ago about Minnesota and he
was saying that not predicting that this would happen, but
he thought long term it would be hard from a
cap perspective to keep this whole core. So I think
that's the biggest driving for SO. I think the other
thing it really helps that the New York Nexts included

(41:04):
Dante Devincenzo in the deal. He's a really good guard. Obviously,
Julius Randall is another great Versatal big, but adding Dante
Devincenzo can really you know, make their strong court depth
even better. So yeah, there's a lot of things unpack,
as well as the fact that the Knicks they've wanted
to have a center. They've wanted Klarontine Towns for a while.

(41:27):
They lost Isaiah Hardenstein's urn free agency. Mitchell Robinson is
out for an injury, so they definitely needed another center.
So it makes sense for both sides. So there's also
a lot of question marks with it.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Definitely agree with you, Mark. The knicks problems are at center.
They don't really have a legitimate starting center. They do now,
but I'm told that part of this issue had to
do with whether or not, well, let's back up, there
had been no progress in their extension talks with Julius Randall,
and I think Randal it feels like he might be
a little disgruntled because he saw how team what the

(42:00):
team did without him and the wonder who's going to
fit in? So was that part of this dynamic as well?

Speaker 6 (42:05):
Yeah, I want to be surprised. I think like even
if he went up on the final year of his deal,
he's a professional, even though he can get frustrated times,
he's a competitor and the Knicks really valued him for that,
But I think that you know, the reality is they
weren't trading Julius Rynolds for any player. They were shopping

(42:25):
him around. But you know, Karl Anthony Towns is obviously
a legitimate All Star and someone that they've wanted to
have for a while understandably. So I mean Leon Rose,
he was his former agent at CIA, so there is
a connection there. So I think the larger driving forces
had more to do with the fact that cal was
available than any falling out. So to speak to juyous ryandlhad.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
With Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night till midnight
on Bernie Frattle Show, Mark and Lad of this development,
in your view, who's more likely to have the better
season next year with these new players? The Timberwolves are
the Knicks?

Speaker 6 (43:03):
Uh yeah, really good question. I think you could make
a case for both teams. But if I had a guest,
I would say the Knicks because they had, you know,
that definitive need at center. Carl Anthone Towns plug and play.
Jalen Brunson, I think is already a star and they
are very well coached. I think with Minnesota, I'm a
believer in Anthony Edwards. I think that they have a

(43:25):
really good core. But you know, we already saw some
initial growing pains that already Golbear and carlnthone Towns had
the first year and try to figure things out. I
don't think I had anything to do with personality conflicts.
I think you just had to do with you know,
time together before. And I wouldn't be surprised if the
Wolves go through those same kind of growing pains again

(43:46):
with Colbert now Randall two distinctly different players. But when
you're having two fun court guys that are uh, you know,
have different skill sets, you know it's gonna take some time.
So if I had to make prediction, the Knicks are
going to be better off with the Steel.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
There's an irony to this deal. It's not lost on me.
In twenty twenty two, Carl Anthony town signed his four year,
two hundred and twenty four million dollar extension because he
was the centerpiece of Minnesota. Now he's gone. So here's
the question. How much is that hamstring New York and
their ability to build their roster because Towns is going
to take up a significant chunk of the.

Speaker 6 (44:21):
Cat Yeah, but you have to keep in mind Jalen
Brunson took a huge pay cut by signing that extension.
I think that they don't have to worry about those
things as much as Minnesota did. I think that there's
a lot of different ironies here. Gerson Rosas, he's with
the New York Next Front office, you know where he
was before Minnesota, So he's a huge car on Towns Man.

(44:43):
I think the other irony is this this had nothing
to do with even though this clearly sets up Anthony
Awards to be the guy miss though, there wasn't I
think any tug of war over that. I mean I
actually talked with Carl Anthon Towns as trainer Matt Missouri
last summer or you know, last year during the playoffs,
and he was telling me when when kat was out

(45:04):
last season for fifty three games because he was, you know,
injured with his strange cast, he was telling his trainer
that this was a blessing in the Skies because it's
going to allow Anthony Edwards to blossom into an even
bigger role. So they got along really well. There's a
lot of mutual respect. I think the other irony here

(45:25):
now we can dive into if you want is that
clearly the part of this how to do with salary
cap concerns. And I think this illustrates maybe one of
the shortcomings that the NBA's haven't. You know, you're looking
at these specific players here. Carl Anthone Towns is a
homegrown talent, same thing with Anthony Edwards. They drafted them,

(45:45):
yet they're going to put these kind of punitive penalties
on them for trying to retain their free agent these
players long term. I think this is what this is
the latest example of why the Warriors have taken specific
except to the second apron and increased luxury tax penalties,
that they don't feel like the league should look at

(46:06):
high spending teams that are getting free agents through the
same lanes as high spending teams that are just rewarding
the players that they drafted really well. And so I
think that that is a fair conversation we had, and
you know, Minnesota is the latest example of them, you know,
making some tough decisions that are more financially driven than
basketball driven.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
Mark last one for me, I got it unfortunately a
tight o'clock tonight with some NFL stuff. But if you
heard anything about this rumor where Kawhi Leonard could end
up with the Heat in this blockbuster trade.

Speaker 6 (46:38):
I doubt that. I mean, I guess you never say
never in the NBA. I mean, look, I didn't think
Carlin Helms was going to get traded two days ago.
But I think there's obviously a lot of concerns with
Kawhi Leonard. I mean, I was at the Clippers press
conference the other day with Lawrence Frank, just before we
even feel it any questions, he was saying that Kawhi

(46:59):
is gonna be limited during burning camp, staying out of
drill work, doing strength work. And that's been the mL
ever since he joined the Clippers. He's an unbelievable talent,
as large, Frank said, one of the best players in
the league. When he's playing, you just never know what
he's going to be available.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Well, you set them mouthful there. No one can disagree
with that. Hey, Mark, save that ad material. We have
a lot of stuff next week as well, and here
we are training. What is the what are the training camps? Open?

Speaker 6 (47:21):
Mark starts Monday. I'll be at Lakers media Day. I'm
sure you know.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
The the.

Speaker 6 (47:28):
James family have a lot to say. Both Lebron and Brownie.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
We're going to talk about that next week too, because
I'm of the belief that Lakers are still paying for
the Russell Westbrook trade in ways people don't see.

Speaker 6 (47:38):
Oh that's a great cheese for next week.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Yeah, let's open up with that next week in all seriousness,
because you've got some stuff on Lebron and Brownie as well.
And Mark, enjoy your Sunday, enjoy your weekend. Look forward
to having you in next week. Of course, when the
NBA teams are in camp.

Speaker 6 (47:52):
I appreciate you man.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Thanks Mark. Always great stuff that is Mark Medina Medina
Magic every Saturday night twelve midnight time on The Bernie
Fraddle Show never fails, and it's amazing how time flies.
NBA teams are in camp this week, we'll have a
whole new season, a whole newin season tournament, and plenty
of storylines. Speaking of storylines, you know them, you love them,

(48:14):
you can't live without them. Coming up, Steve Fessick and
the Physic Five. We've got a big NFL slate Sunday things.
We'll have a couple best bets that we'll go through
some of these games. And has an interesting commentary. White
it's important not to try to have an opinion on
every game. It's almost impossible. So get your pens and
pencils ready. You're gonna be drinking through a fire hose.

(48:34):
I'm Bernie Fratto. We are comedy line for the Las
Vegas Fox Sports Radio tarret dot com Studios here in
Las Vegas. Keep it locked you listening to the Bernie
Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. All right, back on the
Bernie Fradtle Show, Fox Sports Radio Company, lifrom tarat dot
com Studios here in Las Vegas. Get your pens and
pencils ready, folks, you're about to drink through a fire hose.

(48:56):
Everybody's favorite segment. And it's the NFL season. You always
know it's the NFL season, real simple, because it's time
for the Phaesik five. That's right. The only back to
back winner of the prestigious Hilton Now Westgate Super Contest
winner believe he's in first place in the circum Millions contest. Fez,
good evening, how are you?

Speaker 7 (49:15):
I wish I was first in circum Millions, but I
am in first in the Circa Vson. I'm sorry the
Vson invitation them.

Speaker 6 (49:22):
I'll take it.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Yeah, first place is first place, Fez, We're gonna get
to our dissertation of these games, but I'm gonna switch
gears here a little bit because I want to start
with one of your best bets. It's an interesting game
is Jacksonville visits Houston. And what caused me to pay
attention to this game are a couple things. First of all,

(49:44):
teams getting five and a half points, they're five and
oh this year and they're winning out right. That's Jacksonville.
Although you might have to hold your nose Jacksonville, I
believe it's my understanding. They're the only team in the
NFL that you have to force a turnover. Trevor Lawrence
has lost eight straight starts. You know the books are
going to need sounds to me like the Jags might

(50:05):
be a play.

Speaker 7 (50:06):
They are And if you look in terms of comparability,
So if you look, just go last week. So we
had a situation where the Jags were at Buffalo, my
best team in the NFL right now, and Jacksonville was
catching four and a half. So why would you invested
in these loser Jaguars last week against the best team

(50:27):
in the NFL catching four and a half? Now you
can get five and a half, you can even get six,
and you're playing a team that's a good three points
worse than the team they were playing last week. Houston
is a fine team, but they're not Buffalo, so all
the value on Jacksville makes sense too. As bad as
Jacksonville has played all year long, no one wants to
bet them, and oftentimes in the NFL, that's the exact

(50:49):
time you want to step it up.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
And NFL leunderdogs at five and a half points are
fourteen to two against the number this year with ten
outright wins, they're five and zero in week three. What
do you make of that? As a mathematician, I don't care.

Speaker 7 (51:03):
I was walking through the casino the other day and
I saw like eleven blacks and two reds. If you
just look around, you're going to see eleven and two
and nine and one runs in fact real quickly. My
mom was a finance professor and one time she gave
homework doors or students. She said, oh, hey, you flip
a coin three hundred times and just write down the
results head tail head tail tale. Everyone of her students failed.

(51:24):
You know why, Bernie, After flipping the coin ten times,
they just shortcuted it. And mentally wrote the patterned headtail
tale head head head tail, head tail. And where I'm
going is that they refuse to believe or comprehend that
a random event can actually flip ten heads in one tail.

Speaker 6 (51:41):
Happens all the time.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Yeah, it's an independent trial every time. Right, there's no
there's Yeah, I'm with you. That's actually a good analogy.
I'm not going to be involved in that game as
we get into this lad game I'm involved in. But
I would say this the Jags again. Trevor Lawrence o
in eight one and seven against the number his last
eight starts. Boy, everything about this team. They're only scoring

(52:05):
seventeen points a game, giving up twenty eight. But for
what it's worth, Houston in divisional games, fes, they're own
four against the number in their last four interdivisional games.
I don't know what's wrong with Trevor Lawrence at this point.
That might be better off with Jennifer Lawrence. You were
one hundred games guy, right, fez Well.

Speaker 7 (52:23):
I think what's wrong with Trevor Lawrence is on Sunday.
Remember when he was in college at Clemson, get and
his girlfriend just hang out. They asked him, do you
watch the FL games. He's like, no, I hang out
with my girlfriend. That's not who you want to be
your NFL quarterback. You want someone who lives, breathes, just
does everything football like bow Knicks who shows up with
the bag. Guess what's in this bag? Football gear, not

(52:43):
cards for his girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
More better, you're not wrong that comment three four years
ago turn some heads. All right, let's move along. I
want to jump to Monday night because I'm fascinated by
this game, Seahawks catching three and a half at Detroit Fas.
I got to ask you, is that Seahawks defense for
real yards for game number two in the NFL pass
yards against the first, yards for play allowed first, opponents,

(53:07):
passer rating second? But they did it against bow Knicks,
Jacobe Brissett and Scaler Thompson thoughts on Detroit.

Speaker 7 (53:15):
Yeah, we don't know because they haven't played anybody and
three of the worst six teams in the NFL if
you count Skyler Thompson and his squad. So we'll see
maybe see holes for real, but they're gonna have to
prove it against some real opponents.

Speaker 6 (53:31):
First.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
Well, I'm not betting that game, but I'll say one
thing to keep an eye and says, you know, Detroit's
got to buy next week, right, Yes, but buyser starting
home favorites the week before bye in the last ten
years eighty three and fifty four against the number that sixty.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
That's something just interesting.

Speaker 7 (53:51):
I wonder if that's it's mandatory that they get a
certain number of days off. But probably they're in a
situation where they get extra time if they win the game, right,
that the coach can extend it up potentially well for
whatever reason.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
And they've been tracking this now for ten years. Home
favorites the week before buy sixty percent. Home dogs the
week before buy sixty one percent. Ten years. The Chargers
fall into that category this week, and then road favorites
sixty one percent. The Eagles and Tennessee fall into that.
Even road dogs fifty three percent. Let's save that for
a little bit later. A game is getting a lot

(54:24):
of conversation. Buffalo at Baltimore Ravens Land two and a half,
Ravens from three to zer to the over the season.
By the way, the Buffs the Bills highest point differential
of any NFL team plus sixty four. Do you have
a thought on that game?

Speaker 1 (54:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (54:39):
So if you believe in situational spots. You love the Ravens.
They need the game like blood, they're one and two,
and Buffalo has a short week off the Monday night wind,
so everything favors Baltimore. If you believe in power ratings,
you love the Bills because you're getting a much better
team catching two and a half. And this is the dilemma.

(55:02):
And almost all these games, the talking heads that you're
listening to that pretend to be sports betting experts and
pretend to actually bet and win, they don't win those
None of those people win. But I say none, almost
none of them win. And the reason being, Bernie. You
can go run the board and eleven of the thirteen
games they'll have strong opinions.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
And it's just not true.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
I make my numbers.

Speaker 7 (55:22):
It doesn't matter that I'm a great expert. If my
number makes the game two and the line is two
and a half, it's always going to be a pass.
And that's the case here. I make the game two.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
Okay, that's all that point before we dive into these
other games. You've got a good thought. It's a thought
that it's fool hardy to try to have an opinion
on every game. Expand on that, Well, you.

Speaker 7 (55:43):
Should make a number on every game. But for whatever reason,
everyone else says I think this team should be favored
by ten when they're favorite by three.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
Because forgive me for cutting you off. People don't know
how to make numbers. I mean, I hear stuff on
the radio all the time. Well I heard that that's
a short week, and he's a rookie coach, and so
dot No. One of the line six. It's nothing to
do with that.

Speaker 7 (56:03):
Well, I put out my power ratings by example. So
if you did nothing else but took physics power ratings
right and took the difference between the two numbers that's
the neutral field, and then give two for home field,
guess what you're going to match the existing point spread
within a point eight out of ten times. So don't
give me this team should be favored by seven when
the line's two. Crap, It's it's a lie. It's like

(56:25):
the movie The Running Man Killian Richard Dawson is lying
to you.

Speaker 6 (56:29):
It shouldn't be seven.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
That is a great game show, the tea, the.

Speaker 7 (56:33):
Pros, the pros make bets.

Speaker 6 (56:35):
You know what pros make bets?

Speaker 7 (56:36):
They play Atlanta mik too. Because I think the line
should be three. And you know what, you can live
on a golf course with edges like that because they're
big enough to win. But Atlanta shouldn't be six.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
Well, listen, that's the education you give people herez every
Saturday night on the show. Lines are based on math
power ratings. The books are not fortune tellers. They're looking
to maximize profit, minim risk. That's it. Then if the
market moves, they will adjust accordingly so they're not exposed.
Simple as that. All right, fat, and it's.

Speaker 7 (57:07):
Really hard to find value.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
Want value? Fast forward A.

Speaker 7 (57:10):
We can go play the Rams at DraftKings minus three.
I'm sorry to play Green Bay at the Rams green
Bay minus three next week. That bet is five times
better than any bet I can give you tomorrow. You
know why, because those lines are more virgin lines.

Speaker 6 (57:22):
They haven't settled.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Then let's move to the Charger game, catching seven and
a half at home. If you ride with the Chiefs,
you're gonna pay attax. I mean they're only ten and
fourteen against the spread in divisional games the last five years. Now,
I don't know if the chief you know, I don't
know how well justin Herbert's going to look Sunday with
his high ankle sprain. They might have to start John

(57:45):
Hadle for all I know. But these numbers don't lie.
You look up late in the game and say, wait,
why is in Kansas City killing them? Well, this is
what the math tells you. I'm not involved in that game,
but I would actually only look to the Chargers. Your thoughts,
all right, let's.

Speaker 6 (57:58):
Do the math.

Speaker 7 (57:58):
I would only look at the Charges. All so, Kansas
City slam dunk. They're five points better than average team.
That might be a little high considering they've won three
straight coin flips. All right, So the only way this
line can make sense is because Kennissey is like said
like seven to seven and a half, is that they
have to be a good nine points better than the Chargers.
That means the Chargers have to be four points worse

(58:20):
than an average team with Herbert. I just don't believe that.
I mean, I know Herbert might not play the entire game,
that's possible, but even with an injured o Line, the
Chargers are not like the worst team in the NFL,
which they basically have to be. They'd have to Carolina
or the equivalent for this line to make sense.

Speaker 6 (58:37):
I could only look Chargers.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
All right, let's talk about a game that I believe
is also one of your best bets. And we're an agreement. Yes,
I realized Pittsburgh is covered by an average of eight
points with that defense. And look they've got there. They're
playing against Anthony Richardson, who's got the lowest QBR in
the league. Pittsburgh laying a point and a half on
the road. Look, I got nothing against Justin Fields. He's

(58:59):
a solid citizen, a solid human being. They don't let
him do anything. All right, I'm waiting for this to
come back the other way. You know, you can start
missus Field's cookies at quarterback with this team, the way
they play defense and run the ball. I like Andy.
I think you like Andy. Tell us why?

Speaker 7 (59:15):
Yeah, I'm not sure the Solids and I'm not sure
he isn't I'm not qualified to comment on that.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
Well, they love him in the locker room. He's a
dignified young man. He just doesn't operate from the pocket.
Go ahead, very good. I do know this.

Speaker 7 (59:27):
The Steelers don't operate as road favorites when times are good.
How many times would we see big betting company lay
an egg as a road favorite after playing very well
at home. So I don't think that the Steeler team
is going to like suddenly revert to being a buttoned
up team each and every week. I think the Colts

(59:49):
win the game.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
That's such a great point. History tells us that three
and zero NFL road teams in game four of the
season in the last three years six and thirteen straight
up five and fourteen against the number and so I
think you're paying a bit of a Steeler tax y here.
As a matter of fact, do you have any idea
what that line was and to send off lines back
in August? Do you remember?

Speaker 7 (01:00:11):
I can certainly calculate, well, but both teams were. The
Stars are lying to eight wins and cult eight now,
so the Coat had to be like a two point favorite.

Speaker 6 (01:00:17):
But there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
So maybe two and a half the excellent, excellent face
right on the fly, all right, a game that promises
to be a hum dinger Sunday, And that's not hyperbole.
Minnesota visits Green Bay Green Bay Ley in two and
a half. This is the vikings third straight game. Is
an underdog. Even though they're three and zero. The Vikings
do boast the number one defense. They're three and oh

(01:00:39):
or the under they will face. It looks like they
will face Jordan Love on Sunday.

Speaker 7 (01:00:43):
Your thoughts, Yeah, I laid two and a half and
the two and a half is gone. It's now up
to I'm gonna call it two point nine. What the
heck is Steeve talking about, Bernie when I say it's
two point nine. The line is green Bay minus three,
but the green Bay side isn't even money. If you
want the Vikings plus three yet to lay minus a
dollar twenty, Here's how I would approach this at the
current number. I have a slight lean to the Packers,

(01:01:04):
but when Jordan Love is announced in, he's going to play.
When he's announced in, there'll be an overreaction, and I
think the line will go to green Bay miles three
lay a dollar twenty. I don't think it will go
to three and a half, but money will come in
on the Packers, and that's not a correct adjustment because
it'll be an adjustment based on information we already know.
If it gets an over adjustment, I would be interested

(01:01:26):
in the Vikings if I got that plus three, but
I want plus money associated with it, which of course
is not close to being available.

Speaker 6 (01:01:33):
Right now.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
This next game is fascinating to me because I'm going
to study it. I haven't I'm not involved on it yet.
Arizona laying three and a half against Washington, and I
get that Arizona's only nine to fifteen against the number
is a favorite since twenty twenty. But after watching Jaden
Daniels do magic Monday night and now he's been officially
elected inducted into the Three Game Hall of Fame in

(01:01:58):
the National Football League, watch them come back to Earth.
This always blows me away in the NFL. How someone
could look a certain way one week and then the
very next week not so much your thoughts.

Speaker 7 (01:02:11):
Yeah, really bad spot for Washington. They go to the
Jungle in Cincinnati, he plays very well, then they go
back to Washington. Now they got to travel another two
thousand plus miles to go to Arizona. I would get
interested in Arizona if the drink line, which is currently
three point four, so meaning it's not three point five.

(01:02:32):
It's stitch dropping slightly, but there's no threes yet, if
I saw three, I would lay it with Arizona.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Well, here's what's interesting about that. I know you always
don't want to lay three in the hook, but only
sixteen percent of games land down three. So I gotta
believe if you like them, you like them. Just your
thoughts on that I'm going to disagree here.

Speaker 7 (01:02:51):
That's very important. So let me use an example. Let's
assume that when I lay three, all right, that I
would have a situation I'm a simple.

Speaker 6 (01:03:00):
The mouth forty.

Speaker 7 (01:03:02):
Let's say ten percent of the time the favorite by
three wins by three. It's not how many games land
on three, but how many times the favorite wins by three.
So let's assume forty five percent of the time it's
a blowout for the favorite, and forty five percent of
the time the dog covers, and then ten percent of
the time it lands on the three. So if I
lay three in that situation, I go forty five, forty
five and ten. I do Okay, I lose a little bit.

(01:03:24):
But if I lay three and a half, Burnie, I
go forty five and fifty five and I'm paying the
big You can see what a crushing disadvantage it is you.
It is almost never correct to lay three and a
half when you could have had three earlier in the
week or later in the week.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
I accept that, I accept that all right a game.
I'm also very intrigued in Denver visits and New York Jets.
I did fire on Denver plus eight, but only for
half a unit. Broncos Tunzo against the Numbers a road
dog so far this year. Go figure Fiz. Going back
to the last season, the Jets are now favorite six
time in a row. I just think that's an awfully

(01:04:03):
big number against a guy like Sean Payton who's finding
his way in Denver. I believe with bo Nicks, by
the way, they stayed out east, Faz. They Broncos played
in Tampa Bay and instead of coming back to Denver
and then going back to New York, they stayed out east,
and I'm sure they enjoyed some bed and breakfast that
can't hurt less travel. Denver to me looks like to
be the side here.

Speaker 7 (01:04:23):
Yeah, that's a great point. I know the Chargers did
stay east and they didn't cover, but it sure looks
like these West Coast teams when they stay east for
the week, they do great. Remember when the Niners used
to do that, seeing League East and every year and
they annihilated their opponents. They stayed in Ohio for a week,
and there's another time they did it, so I could
because of the factor that you mentioned, I could only
look towards the Broncos because it's not a difficult travel

(01:04:46):
it's actually a good coomba Yah week for them to
spend east.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
That's a big number. Two faz eight points. Sorry, that's
a big number, all right? Two more and we'll let
you run San Francisco Land ten to the visiting Patriots,
the first double digit line of the new NFL season.
Your thoughts, so, ten or.

Speaker 7 (01:05:04):
Higher is just an area code that I don't like
to go ahead and operate in. But I think the
Patriots are truly putrid. I'm gonna give you a best
bet here on this game. I'm going to play both
teams under for their season win number. So New England
is five and a half currently and San Francisco is
ten and a half. Bernie, I think they're both going under.
I think the Patriots are winning three games, but as

(01:05:27):
nicked up as the Niners are, and I think those
injuries are going to be recurring throughout the year. I
think San Francisco is going to be a nine or
ten winning team. So both teams to go under the
season win.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Number, all right, last one. Fitz and I have really
interested in this game and land at Homeland two and
a half. It's jumped from three to two and a half.
I'm still still going to stick to my guns. In
New Orleans is afagazy Philly covered for me last week
Derek Carr's brutal on the road. I think New Orleans
has major trouble stop on the run. I think Bjon
Robinson will make up for last week. I like the Falcons.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
Here your thoughts, Yeah, and you nailed it.

Speaker 7 (01:06:00):
You gotta get minus two and a half in Atlanta
and so just look and get the screen bookmaker minus
two and a half, lay a dollar sixteen, but online
minus two and a half, lay eighteen. South Point Bernie.
On your way home, I want you to stop by
the point late two and a half minus a dollar ten.
Like I said, it makes all the difference in the world,
because if you are late two and a half, you're
gonna go fifty five and forty five and you're styling.

(01:06:23):
But if you're late three now now, instead of going
fifty five and forty five, you're going forty five, forty
five and ten and you're losing. That's the difference between
living on a golf course or living in your mom's
cork attic.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
Right there. You can also afford front row seats to
the Zigger and Evans concert, who famously sang in the
year twenty five, twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
So if I throw that in there, Fizz, I love
that song.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
Yes, yes, all right, Fez, any final thoughts.

Speaker 7 (01:06:53):
I'm trying to have remember the lyrics from you know,
if Mankind is still alive? Yeah, yeah, right, play that song.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
Oh it's got a great it's got a great vibe
to it. Yes, I will. I'll tell you what. I'll
let you just play it. I won't. I won't spill
the lyrics. I mean they're they're swimming in my in
my head right now. Ziger and Evans in the year
twenty five, twenty five. Fez gets some rest my man.

Speaker 7 (01:07:15):
One hit Wonder's gotta love them, thank you, I.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Gotta love them. At Steve Zick Pheasant five, we do
it every Saturday night here in the Bernie Fraddle Show,
the only two time winner of the prestigious Hilton now
Westgate Super Contest. Coming up, I want to talk about
a game will be at tomorrow Cleveland at the Raiders
and uh a couple other games as well. We can't
forget Chicago and the Rams because Shay's going to have
his his kleb watch. But first we go back to

(01:07:40):
our guy, the chef, Kevin Wyatt with the latest.

Speaker 4 (01:07:43):
Yeah, Bernie, we've reached the fifth full week of college football.
We had a couple of upsets in the top ten,
including one in the SEC with fifty.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
Three seconds left, a little bit of a low snap,
they get.

Speaker 5 (01:07:55):
It down, kicks on the way, forty eight seconds to play,
and all this comes up in beat Yes, all about.

Speaker 4 (01:08:07):
That cal courtesy of the Kentucky Radio Network. The Wildcats
taking down the Rebels in Oxford twenty to seventeen, so
the sixth ranked Ole Miss Rebels now oh to one
in SEC play. We also saw an upset in the
Big twelve Arizona number ten Utah and the Wildcats also

(01:08:28):
the second Wildcat team with an upset twenty three to ten.
Arizona wins it. The matchup of the day though, in Tuscolosa,
Alabama and Georgia, Caylin de Boor having his first huge
test since taking over for Nick Saban. They were ahead
by twenty eight points at one time in the game,
but Jordia came back and was at a position to

(01:08:51):
be able to tie it with under a minute to go,
and Zabian Brown picks off Carson Beck, one of three
interceptions Beck would throw on the day as zaban Brown
gets the interception in the end zone with forty three
seconds to go as the Crimson Tide hold on to
win it forty one to thirty four, Arch manning a
couple of touchdown passes three hundred and twenty four passing yards.

(01:09:14):
Texas gets their first win in conference play as a
member of the SEC over Mississippi State thirty five to
thirteen Number three Ohio State thirty eight seven winners against Michigan, State,
number eight, Oregon, and UCLA. The Ducks go down to
the Rose Bowl and win it handily, thirty four to
thirteen Number nine Penn State, number nineteen Illinois the Ninny

(01:09:34):
Lyons winning this one twenty one to seven. Number twelve
Michigan gets by Minnesota twenty seven to twenty four thirteen
thranc USC win against Wisconsin at home thirty one, thirty
eight to twenty one Number fourteen LSU win South Alabama
no issue for the Tigers as they win this one
easily forty two to ten, Number sixteen Notre Dame and
number fifteen Louisville in South ben As the Irish win

(01:09:58):
it by a touchdown thirty one to twenty four. Four
Number seventeen Clemson forty fourteen winners against Stanford, Number eighteen.
Iowa State shuts out Houston twenty to nothing. And in
the Big twelve, still a rank matchup Oklahoma State Kansas State,
and it's the Wildcats a forty two, that's twenty victory.
Number twenty one Oklahoma gets by Auburn twenty seven to
twenty one. BYU over Baylor thirty four to twenty eight,

(01:10:20):
Number twenty four Texas A and M. Four straight wins
now for the Aggie since their season opening lost to
Notre Dame, as they get by Arkansas twenty one seventeen
and number twenty five Boise State. It win on the
blue turf against Washington State forty six to twenty four.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
Back to you, Bernie, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
Thanks, Jef. I want to talk about a couple of
games fest n I didn't get to You've got my
credential for the Raiders Cleveland, and that's gonna be a
weird one Cleveland's offensive line is completely Jack Sideways. There'll
be no Max Crosby for the Raiders, There'll be no
DeVante Adams. It's gonna be an interesting game. And I
want to see Deshaun Watson up close to person anyway

(01:10:59):
to see if he's got anything in the tank. But
before we do, I want to get to the Bears
Rams game because our guy Shay, We're gonna check in
every week with the Caleb Watch. Take it away, Shae, Hey, Bernie.

Speaker 8 (01:11:13):
Yeah, So basically, we've I've been annoyed, not we but
I've been annoyed with what a lot of people have
been talking about with Caleb and kind of hyping him up.
And don't get me wrong, he's a great quarterback and
I like what I saw in college, but I didn't
think it was going to correlate that well into the NFL,
especially in his first season and especially in his first

(01:11:34):
three games. And from what we've seen, I've pretty much
been right, Bernie, and I've kind of been saying, Hey,
it wasn't his necessarily fault. His biggest woe was being
on the Bears. And I think I think I'm gonna
take back a little bit of saying that because yeah,
obviously their offensive line is a big deal. Obviously the

(01:11:55):
person that's play calling isn't necessarily the best. But what
I saw against the Colts was Caleb leaving protected pockets to.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
Make that thank you.

Speaker 8 (01:12:08):
That would never work. I mean, sure, this week we'll
have Keenan Allen coming back, but what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Like?

Speaker 9 (01:12:15):
It made zero sense to me.

Speaker 2 (01:12:17):
And it's a great observation. Not to cut you off. Yeah,
we'll continue here, but I want to say this. It's
a great observation. I'll tell you why because you mentioned
it being a great quarterback. I think he's a great talent.
But you are spot on so far. I know it's
only three weeks as to whether or not his style
is going to translate to the NFL. Because he's not
Patrick Maholmes. You have to play the position of Wade's

(01:12:39):
designed with your eyes. You don't try to take every
single play and turn it into a circus act and
a hero play. He's got too much of that in him,
so he leaves pockets. He gets jumpy in pockets too
soon while plays are forming. Good observation, shake on.

Speaker 8 (01:12:53):
No, exactly, And I mean that's that's that's the thing.
He didn't look like one of those rookie quarterbacks. But
once you start doing things like this, like leaving protected pockets,
trying to make those big plays where there is no
big play to be made, you're down. Yeah, sure you're
down two touchdowns, but still you need to make the
smart play. You need to do the NFL play. But yeah,
Caleb Watch. It's it's not looking too good for Caleb

(01:13:15):
from my side. But again, he has a few more
weeks to prove me wrong. And these next couple of
weeks here he could always turn it around. And well,
if he does turn it around, we'll stop talking about
the beginning of the weeks.

Speaker 9 (01:13:27):
But we'll see what happens. Caleb Watch is done for now.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
All right, Well, we'll pick it up next week. Is
Caleb tries to see what he can do against the
Rams on Sunday. And you mentioned the Bears as if
there there's some direct organization. Look, they're in the NFL.
How come Mitch Krubisky can go twenty five and thirteen,
complete sixty seven percent of his passes and go to
the playoffs two out of three years, and without the
double doing field goal, they would have won a playoff game. Now,

(01:13:52):
I'm not mixed up. Okay, I'm not smoking crack. They
weren't going to win a Super Bowl with Mitch Trubisky,
but he seemed to do okay, So just the thought.
Just the facts, man, just the facts coming up. I
want to reiterate the bye week stats I just gave
and I want to give you my thoughts on this
Raiders Cleveland game Sunday. I'm Bernie Frider. We are comedy
live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tarrat dot

(01:14:13):
Com Studios. Keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie
Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right, back at
the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio, come to live
from the Tarat dot Com studios here in Las Vegas.
I want to reiterate the fact pattern having to do
with how NFL teams perform the week before they head

(01:14:37):
into a bye time marchers on. So there are I
believe four teams that have buys next week in Week five.
I know it sounds early, but true in the last
ten years, if you're a home favorite and you are
heading into a bye week next week, you're eighty three
and fifty four against the spread. Two percent cover right.

(01:15:01):
The Detroit Lions fall into that category. If you happen
to be a home dog and you have a buy
next week, you're thirty and nineteen against the number that
happened to be sixty one percent. The Los Angeles Chargers
fall into that category. But be careful now, because remember
there's no Justin Herbert, although you are paying the Chiefs tax,

(01:15:22):
but no Justin Herbert's big I think that Justin Herbert
can be worth about six points. I mean, I understand
he's going to give it a goal, but how did
that work out last week? These high ankle sprains take weeks. Unfortunately.
If you happen to be a road favorite and you
have a buye the following week, you're twenty eight to

(01:15:43):
eighteen against the number of the last ten years, also
sixty one percent. The Eagles follow in that category, and
so does Tennessee. I don't happen to like the Eagle Sunday.
I didn't bet the game, but I don't happen to
like them. But do what you think is right. And then,
of course, if you're a road underdog, I don't believe
there are any road dogs this week who have a

(01:16:03):
bye in week five, thirty seven and thirty three against
the number that's only fifty three percent. Nothing significant there,
but regardless, every one of those is over fifty percent
and under the radar. Game that will be played Sunday.
As the Browns at the Raiders, they're both one and two.
They're both mash units and it both feels like each

(01:16:26):
organization is just having issues. Right. The Browns offensive line
is in crisis mode. They lost three starters. One of
their starters was played Wyatt Teller, the right guard. He
was placed on injured reserve. And this is even when
the Browns were healthy. They allowed a league hi sixteen sacks.

(01:16:48):
Are going to have their hands full against the Raiders,
who actually do well in pass rush win rate and
third in the league. But they're not gonna have Max Crosby.
Max Crosby can't go. He tried like hell to go
last week. I'd see he was. He was a shell
of himself. And the Raiders are also not going to
have you know, DeVante Adams, so long and short of

(01:17:10):
it is, I don't know who wants it most. It's
gonna be like a fist fight in the phone booth.
Deshaun Watson has not been worth the price of admission.
He's posted the worst QBR among twenty nine quarterbacks to
start all three games at twenty three. And it's a
chance to keep an eye on guys like Trey Tucker
and Jacobe Myers who may step up tomorrow and make

(01:17:32):
a name for themselves for you fantasy walks.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
And you know.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
There are people I know that I think there might
be points in this game. The overs are eight to
one on Browns road games since it started the last season,
So not a game I'll be involved in, but a
game I'll be at. This would be so on brand
for the Raiders to steal this game, but I am
not predicting that. I am not. Last week I said
it would be on brand if the Raiders would stink
it up against Carolina after beating Baltimore and Baltimore, and
that's exactly what they did. How they get f be

(01:18:00):
crazy to bet this game? Coming up, we take a
look at the NFL winners and losers two week three,
lots of data to digest. Keep it locked to the
Bernie fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah that's right,
you heard the man. Bernie Fraddles show keeps rolling right
along my name is Bernie Fraddle. We are coming to

of the truisms of the National Football League is that
from week to week things changed dramatically. One week you
look like a hero, the next week you look like

(01:18:44):
a bum. One week you look like a world beater,
next week you look like you couldn't find your butt
with both hands. Because the NFL is a tough lead,
people make adjustments. They got you on film, they know
your tendencies, they prepare. It's incredible. So every week, what
I like to do is take a quick look at
the for lack of a better term, you know the

(01:19:05):
winners and losers, not really winners and losers per se,
But when you look at at how you know each
of these entities, I would say fared the week before
you can draw a conclusion as to whether or not
they had a good week or a bad week. You
know who had a good week Vic Fangio. Finally, he's
been taking a lot of heat. Vic fangils a legendary

(01:19:27):
defensive coordinator, and just about a week after Kirk Cousins
drove the ball right down the field with raw efficiency
to beat the Eagles in a game winning fourth quarter
drive with almost no time left, Fangio, well, he was
facing the New Orleans Saints next, who their first two
games had scored ninety one points. And I never really

(01:19:47):
believed it, but regardless, they did it right. So Derek
Carr and his squad come into Sunday's matchup. They came
into Sunday's matchup against Philadelphia as the NFL's highest doctan attack,
not even close. But they got nothing. And you'll like it, judge, Males.
They got nothing. They were stuck on third down, they
stuck in the fourth quarter, they stunck in the red zone.
And uh and the Eagles, you know, their defense is

(01:20:11):
saving today so far, it really is. If not for
the Eagles d they might be two and one to
two right now. So thumbs up for Vic Fangio, thumbs down.
I don't know, man, I don't know what it is
about the Chargers. I hope they're you know their health
insurance is paid up last year or last week. They
sought to become the first three and oh team in

(01:20:32):
twenty two years in Chargers history against Pittsburgh, only to
lose a game. But the Chargers not only lost the game,
a bunch of guys got hurt, right justin Herbert the
high ankle spring. Two of their tackles were Shaan Slater
and Joe Alt Joey Bulso their best pass rusher. They
all get hurt. And you know Jim Harbaugh can talk

(01:20:53):
about physicality all day long and who's got it better
than us? Nobody? But not if you start talent available.
Bad luck for the Chargers. Thumbs down, thumbs up Minnesota Vikings.
I will tell you this is a very good football team.
This is not a fluke. I like their head coach
Kevin O'Connell, I like their defensive coordinator, I like Sam Donald,

(01:21:16):
and their solid start is because Minnesota is very good.
And think about this, Not only are they three and
h two of their wins are against legitimate contenders, first
in San Francisco forty nine ers and then the Houston Texans.
And yes they got both of those games at home,

(01:21:39):
but they were both upsets. They were the Vikings were
an underdog, right and Sam Donald has been showing up
and showing out. And not only is Brian Floris's defense
physical and efficient and as Simon sound, they're versatile. That
defense line up well against lots of different teams, lots

(01:22:02):
of different styles, and they get green band Sunday. So
it's just be fun to watch thumbs down. Tough sledding
for Mike McDaniel and the Miami Dolphins, especially that offense. Right,
they've fallen flat on their face, fallen following to his
concussion situation, and then Skyler Thompson also got hurt. And

(01:22:25):
you know, maybe they can Tyler Hunting, who's a pretty
good athlete. He's one of those guys who looks good
for two or three games and he realized why he's
a backup. Perhaps they can catch a little bit of
lightning in the bottle from Tyler Hunting. Maybe we'll see
thumbs up, give it up to Andy Dalton. Okay, Now,

(01:22:47):
I think a lot of good folks honestly realize and
are acknowledging the fact that Bryce Young his this might
not be the best situation to him for him to
have gone to the Carolina Panthers as the number one
overall pick in twenty twenty three. But you have to

(01:23:08):
give it up to coach Dave Canals, who made a
command decision and said, look, we gotta win games. We're
not giving up on the kid, although he didn't when
he was asked about potentially trading on his own day.
He didn't say no, did he? So you march out
Andy Dalton? And why the hell do people make fun
of Andy Dalton? Why? I mean one person says it,

(01:23:29):
the other person repeats it, and then it becomes the group.
They can't go chamber. What if I told you Andy
Dalton's like one of five quarterbacks in the NFL who's
thrown over thirty five thousand passing yards, has logged over
eighty wins as a starter, in two hundred and fifty
passing touchdowns. And Andy Dalton can ruin your day. I did, Oh,
I did Lions pre and postgame show for ten years.

(01:23:51):
It's completely and there's a completely unpredictable nature of NFL Sundays.
But you know, to not believe that Andy Dalton could
have that kind of day. How do you think you
end up with thirty five thousand yards in the National
Football League. Guys, the guys just fall out of bed
and do that. He started. Dalton started one game last
year as well. He threw like three hundred and fifty

(01:24:12):
yards again, over eighty career victories, two hundred and fifty touchdowns,
and oh, by the way, not for nothing. Last Sunday
against the Raiders, Dalton became the first quarterback this season
in the National Football League to throw for three hundred
yards and three touchdowns. That's a big stat. But the
other big stat Dave Canalis decision paid off. He got

(01:24:34):
the Panthers in the win column thumbs down. I don't know, man,
Will Levis, when you look at him and the way
Brian Callahan looks at him and their head, that's the
Tennessee head coach. The body language eat ain't good man,
remember that movie. He just ain't that into you. I
don't think Brian Callahan is sad into Will Levis, he

(01:24:55):
said after the you know, after their loss to green Bay, Tennessee.
He's lost to green Bay last week, he said he
won't bench Levis even though Levis is, you know, producing
turnovers at the rate of a bakery. But that doesn't
mean his opportunities are going to start to slip away.
He doesn't have a god given right to be the

(01:25:15):
starter forever. Callahan is probably being looked at as well.
He's got to get growth out of his players. I
don't think anybody argues or denies that Will Levis is
a gifted athlete. But in three games in which Tennessee
lost all the games, Lewis is throwing five picks, who's

(01:25:37):
he think he is? Jamis bottom line is this, They're
bad picks, bad ones, really bad ones. Oh that one
week one? I still got nightmares. You know, Tennessee plus
four and a half week one against the Bear is
that pick boy? Hashtag? So you want to be a gambler?
Thumbs up? Well, how could it not be Mike Tomblin.

(01:25:59):
All right, everybody defends Mike Tomlin. Everybody likes Mike Tomlin,
including me. His record speaks for itself, never been under
five hundred. There are those who thought this might be
the year. But even all the folks who say nice
things about Mike Tomlin because they're true. No one thought
that Steelers should be three and zero. And they had
a very decisive win over the Chargers last week, and

(01:26:20):
they did have Justin Fields under center fields has been serviceable.
He's done well enough so far, which has basically allowed
Tomlin's defense to run the show. And I don't know
what the hell's going on with Russell Wilson just standing around,
waiting around as this veteran insurance. But listen, I don't
know if what the hell Pittsburgh is doing is really

(01:26:42):
sustainable over the next fourteen games. I just don't. The
NFL is a big play league, and I know running
the ball. I'm gonna talk about this coming up next.
There's an amazing trend happening in the NFL. They're experiencing
something they haven't seen for two decades, and maybe that
plays into Justin Fields and Pittsburgh's fortunes this year. But
there you have it. Thumbs up Mike Tomlin, thumbs down,

(01:27:02):
Will Levis, thumbs up Andy Dalton, thumbs down Mike McDaniel
in the Dolphins offense, thumbs up Minnesota Vikings all the
way around, Thumbs down the Los Angeles Chargers and their
bad luck with their health, and of course thumbs up
Vic Fangio and his defense. We'll see what they can do.
Vic Fango and that defense can do in Tampa Bay

(01:27:23):
on Sunday. Coming up. As I said, there is a trend.
It's a phenomenon that the NFL is experiencing that we
have not seen in twenty years, more than twenty years.
I'll share it. Coming up. I'm Bernie Fraddle where come
to your line from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio

(01:27:44):
Tarrack dot Com studios. Keep it lock. You're seen at
the Bernie Frawdle Show on Fox Sports radioh right back
on the Bernie Fraudle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Coming to
line from the Tarrack dot Com studios here in Las Vegas.
Digress for just a second. I mentioned one of the
thumbs down aspects of the NFL last week with the
Miami Dolphins offense and poor Mike McDaniel. They really do

(01:28:08):
miss to him. There's just no question. Uh. And I
got a text that looks like Tyler Huntley will start
Sunday for the Dolphins and hope they keep him up right.
His backup is the legendary Tim Boyle. I have to
just share this. You've probably heard this already. Tim Boyle.
In college, he went he went to two schools. He

(01:28:31):
spent two years, two or three years. At Yukon and
two at Eastern Kentucky. And these are his college stats.
While he was at Yukon, he threw for twelve hundred
and thirty seven yards. He was about forty one percent passing,
one touchdown and thirteen interceptions. You heard me right. At

(01:28:53):
Yukon one thirty three for two seventy five for twelve
hundred and thirty seven yards, threw for one touchdown thirteen interceptions.
But then he caught fire at Eastern Kentucky two one
to three to twenty seven through for two thousand yards,
eleven touchdowns and thirteen interceptions. So in his college career
he threw for a total of twelve touchdowns and twenty

(01:29:17):
six interceptions. I ask you, is this the greatest inspirational story? Ever?
How did the guy end up in the NFL. He's
in the National Football League. He played at Ukon in
Eastern Kentucky through for twelve touchdowns and twenty six interceptions.
But again, I digress. Passing is down. You know. The NFL, frankly,

(01:29:42):
has become a pass happy league over the last thirty years,
and for good reason. The game has changed, the athletes
have changed. It's become basketball and turf. You have situations
now where you know, defensive ends run like linebackers used to.
Linebackers run like DB's used to. There are very good,
clever offensive coordinators in the National Football League who know

(01:30:06):
how to put their players in position to put them
on an island, create space to make a play. And
that's what the NBA NFL has been. You've you've no
doubt seen all the penalties called because offensive tackles are
lining up off the line of scrimmage. And you know
why that's happening, because if they line up on the

(01:30:26):
line of scrimmage, they're going to get beat firstep explosion
by all these defensive ends, so they're trying to make
up for it. So the refs are calling penalties. You're
seeing teams run the ball more. You have to protect
your quarterback. A lot of these defensive ends, these bed rushers,
just got a free shot at the quarterback because they
explode off the line with a spin move or a
swim move or whoever you want to characterize it, and

(01:30:48):
the next thing you know, they're on the way to
the quarterback. So the bottom line is, for years, and
I mean decades, the area of attack and the National
Football League's basically on an upward trajectory, straight up, up,
up up, And before that the NFL was really you
had to go back to the eighties, was really more
of a ground and pound type of thing, right and

(01:31:09):
running was the staple. So in nineteen give you some perspective,
in nineteen ninety, only nine teams out of twenty eight
there were only twenty eight teams in the National Football League.
In nineteen ninety, only nine of the twenty eight average
two hundred passing yards per game. Fast forward to two thousand,
that jumped to eighteen. Now there were thirty one teams

(01:31:31):
in the NFL, but eighteen out of thirty one average
two hundred passing yards per game. Now, last season, twenty
two teams hit that benchmark. Go back twenty four years.
In twenty only twenty teams completed at least sixty percent
of their attempts. Last year, a wopping twenty nine teams did.

(01:31:53):
But things are shifting. Part of it is if you
look the last three quarterback drafts, who's very little in
the way of quality quarterback play. There are exceptions. CJ.
Strout of the Houston Texans. He doesn't follow in that category.
Rock purty of the forty nine ers. He doesn't follow
in that category. And you know, at least for three games,

(01:32:14):
I already inducted him to my three Gay Hall of Fame.
Jayden Daniels, We'll see, we've got a long, long, long
way to go for Jaden Daniels. Let's consider this what
has happened. And they're compiling data for week three, but
just say the first two weeks of this season in
the NFL, there were a grand total of sixty nine

(01:32:36):
touchdown passes thrown. That's the fewest in eighteen years. The
fuston twenties, twenty oh six. Seven point one yards was
the average target depth. That's the lowest in the history
of the National Football League. So even if you're dropping
back the pass, you're drinking and dunking. It's like it's
like a long handoff right. Forty one percent of design

(01:32:58):
run plays, that's the high since two thousand and eight.
That's that's incredible. The other thing is time and possession.
Teams are taking longer and longer before they snap the
ball using his money, typically around thirty seconds. That's the
but you want to see a team. That's one of

(01:33:19):
the reasons I kind of like Denver Sunday getting eight
points against the Jets. The Jets are so deliberate and
play so slow that eight points is a lot to
give a team. I mean, they use the whole playclock
just about every single time, but league wide, from top
to bottom. That includes everybody from you know, Kansas City
to Detroit to Carolina, and everybody using about thirty seconds

(01:33:43):
for time of possession on the on the play clock,
the time clock, which is the slowest since two thousand
and eight. And finally, you're seeing actually less blitzes now.
There's been only a total of five hundred and forty
five blitzes this season, which also happens to be the
fewest on record. So while this has gone upward in

(01:34:06):
a straight line now for a better part of thirty years,
you are now finally seeing a dip in the prolific
and the proficiency of the passing games in the National
Football League. And by the way, for the better part
of fifteen seasons, sacks per game clip has mostly been
below five, but for the first three weeks it's skyrocketed.

(01:34:28):
So the truth of the matter is that everything is evolving.
You have to watch these things the way defenses line
up the way that coaches scheme and personnel groupings, by
the way, real quickly, not for nothing, have you noticed
how much dialogue there has been on Travis kelcey, real quick,

(01:34:50):
let's bring in the crew on this. Who wants to
go for a shay? You went to chef who? Everybody's
all over Travis Kelsey. Where's the production?

Speaker 1 (01:35:00):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:35:01):
Go ahead, chef?

Speaker 1 (01:35:03):
Can you repeat that?

Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
Yeah, Travis Kelcey. Everybody's wondering why is stats so poor?
What's going on? And I finally saw a very coaching
theory this past week. But go ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:35:14):
I mean, he's thirty five, he's on the wrong side
of thirty, and he's in his decline phase. I don't
think he has anything to do with like Taylor Swift
or anything like that. He's an aging tie end. It's
one of the most physical positions in football, so it
shouldn't really be a surprise that he's not putting up
the numbers that he has in past seasons. Father time's
catching up to him.

Speaker 2 (01:35:34):
I wonder if it is as simple as that, sometimes
players can go right off a cliff in one season.
I'm not that clearly that's a factor. What are your thoughts.

Speaker 9 (01:35:46):
Jay, It's funny you actually bring this up because this
past week.

Speaker 8 (01:35:49):
You know how we write articles for the shows that
we do, Yes, yes, Yes, So I wrote an article
because Jason Smith had a take on this, and he
was basically saying that it's his off field antics and
what he's doing with Taylor Swift blah blah blah blah blah,
he's no longer the cool guy blah blah blah blah blah.
And I was quoting Jason Smith directly when I was
saying this, and I posted this, and obviously my name

(01:36:10):
goes and it's correlated with the article. So some people
started coming at me on Twitter going like what off
field antics are you talking about? Or like like he's
going to a concert and off field antick and I'm
just like sitting there like, okay, First off, it's not
even me that's saying this.

Speaker 9 (01:36:26):
Second off, Oh no, no, to.

Speaker 2 (01:36:27):
Hold that thought. And I want to hear your second point.
He's been partying all off season. If anybody can't see that,
he's been jet setting around the world, hang with Taylor Swift.
He goes to the US Open, you can tell, you know,
he looks like he's not missing a chance to have
a few cream dements. I don't think he's in the
same shape he's been in the past.

Speaker 9 (01:36:44):
Exactly.

Speaker 8 (01:36:45):
Second off, coming off your pliant, if any of us
started dating a billionaire, do you think you would care
as much? Seriously, if you started dating a billionaire, do
you think, Oh, maybe I shouldn't get a concussion, Maybe
I should start taking care of myself.

Speaker 9 (01:37:01):
Like, there's a lot more to this life than just football.

Speaker 8 (01:37:05):
When you're dating a billionaire, I don't know how, Like
billion dollars is a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (01:37:09):
I absolutely agree to You do think he's looking forward
to the next phase. Yeah, he's kind of thinking. Actually,
he just said he's thirty five years old. He already
has how many Super Bowls? He already has the resume.
People already call him the best tight end in the world.
So it's like, even though I don't think he's the
best tight end, but that's a whole other discussion. I
just think that this right here is is like, come on, dude,

(01:37:31):
like he's it's it's over. He has Yeah, don't be
surprised if he retires after this season or maybe after
next season.

Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
Exactly because there's.

Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
There's a picture on Twitter, guys, you might be right.
I think he wants a three pet. They all do.
But Yahoo Fantasy Sports twitter handle has a has a
picture of Travis Kelsey's sitting on the bench. It's during
the Atlanta game, and it looks like he lost his dog.
He looks tired, he doesn't look engaged. He really doesn't
look like himself. Now, he's still getting open, he's still

(01:37:58):
playing a high percentage. Just he's healthy. He's eighty five
percent of the snaps. But something is missing, Something is missing.
It feels like he's got a lot of off things,
off field activities on his plate, and he's trying to
juggle too many balls. Just a theory, but that's what
I think.

Speaker 1 (01:38:16):
Yeah, I can definitely see that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
Just a lot of his tailor swipt.

Speaker 4 (01:38:21):
Yeah, just a lot of distractions and maybe not being
quite as focused on foot in the off season too,
because there's a lot of work that goes in to
prepare for the season during the offseason, whether it's working out,
studying film, just working on your technique. And when you're
at this stage of your career, thirty five years old,
he's played what over a decade in this league.

Speaker 1 (01:38:40):
Oh yeah, what I mean, I could.

Speaker 4 (01:38:42):
I think he's just he's he's kind of checking out,
and I think he's seeing the end. And depending on
how the Chiefs finished this season, he very well could
walk away.

Speaker 2 (01:38:52):
By the way, this is all gotten to Andy Reid,
and he had a quote last week he said, I quote.
I know people are saying that he's old or has
distract actions, but the defenses don't think that. We have
another receiver, Hi Rice, who plays opposite Kelsey, who has
a lot of yards and catches blah blah blah. Travis
is fine, but watch the defensive guy. He's not getting

(01:39:13):
double team like he used to be. I think, I
mean read sticking up for his guy. Now. The other
theory is too is I think he's I think he's
marking time. I think we'll see if this comes out
in the playoffs. The Chiefs are gonna be in the playoffs.
The Chiefs do want a three peak, there's no two
ways about it, and they haven't. You haven't seen the
best out of the Chiefs. And yet there's still three
to zero because they have they have championship DNA and

(01:39:38):
the irony is Kelsey's biggest highlight this year. It was
week two against Cincinnati, he caught a forty one yard
touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, but it was called
back by a holding penalty. So and then also later
in that same game, Travis Kelcey was wide open in
the back of the end zone, but Holmes threw a
one yard touchdown pass to the left. Tack became a

(01:40:01):
hostile name, Wanya Morris. So, look, we're not seeing the
same highlight reel. I don't think it's I just don't
think it's a coincidence or a fluke. We're gonna find out.
We're gonna find out. I know people have commented on
his production. And there's one other theory too, that the
Chiefs are intentionally not trying to overuse Kelsey. They want

(01:40:21):
to protect him as much as they can. They are
expecting another postseason run. And they've also scored seventy five
points and the three wins since the second most in
the AFC. So everybody chill. But I think we're all
kind of noticing the same thing. Guys, and I can
give a flying horses pet two about Taylor Swift, but
it's a thing, right, It's a thing. Taylor Swift. Take

(01:40:41):
it some energy out of him. Is that fair?

Speaker 8 (01:40:43):
Yeah, there's way more to think about now than just
football in the Super Bowl, and of course three P
is like the biggest thing in his head.

Speaker 2 (01:40:49):
But yeah, it's also when you're flying around the world too, man,
and going to golf tournaments and rubbing elbows and kind
of cocktail in your hand. I'm not calling outs his life, man.
He said, he's his legacy secure, I think. But I
guess you could take it as a backhanded compliment as well,
because people have certain expectations of Travis Kelcey so far.
Especially you know, I don't know if either of you

(01:41:10):
guys are fantasy owners and if either of you guys
have Travis Kelcey in your league. But that's where you're
really seeing the pissing and moaning. Well, final thought on this,
final final thought on this. People are starting to speculate
that Kelsey's relationship with Taylor Swift is getting more serious
and he is planning for life after the NFL. And
then just the other day, Taylor Swift is getting ready.

(01:41:32):
I guess she's getting ready to produce a new album.
She's gonna get Travis Kelcey involved, She's on a record,
is saying he's got a good natural rhythm, he's got
an eye for lyrics, and she said, I think he
could flourish in a studio. Okay, are you kidding me? Okay,
maybe you're not kidding me. So that's my final thought
on that. I mean, the bottom line is you can't

(01:41:52):
climb two mountains at the same time. And we're noticing
the production. But let's let the season play out. Okay,
he could end up having the last laugh next February
coming up. Records are broken every year in the National
Football League. Just about there are five. I think they
could be broken this season. I'll tell you about him
coming up. But first's go back to our guy, the chef,

(01:42:14):
Kevin Wired.

Speaker 8 (01:42:15):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:42:15):
Yes, I was practicing that one.

Speaker 4 (01:42:17):
I was getting my pipes all warned up, and man,
I really really was excited to give that performance.

Speaker 1 (01:42:23):
It's a highlight of my week, Bernie.

Speaker 2 (01:42:26):
That's right, Yes, highlight of all of our weeks. You're focused, man,
You're facts like jetting around the world with Taylor Swift.

Speaker 4 (01:42:32):
Right, Well, I can only be so lucky, but I
would not turn down that opportunity really degenerate with Taylor Swift.

Speaker 1 (01:42:40):
Hell no, that's auness man.

Speaker 9 (01:42:42):
You're a nice man, Brandy, you're turning that down.

Speaker 2 (01:42:45):
Faster than I can say. I want nothing to do.
Come on, man, I don't need that crap. Knock yourself off.
A matter of fact, Chef, I'm rooting for you.

Speaker 1 (01:42:56):
Man, Travis Kelsey, he was inspiration us everywhere. Shoot your shot.

Speaker 2 (01:43:01):
That'd be like a the coolest thing since pulling your
pants out of your wash and finding a fifty. You
didn't know you yet?

Speaker 4 (01:43:07):
Yes, Well, college football. We are now in the fifth
full week, and of course I wouldn't be college football
without some upsets. And we saw it on a Saturday.
Into the SEC with fifty.

Speaker 10 (01:43:19):
Three seconds left, We're gonna a low snap and they
get it down, kicks on the way.

Speaker 5 (01:43:27):
Forty eight seconds to play. An old myth comes up in.

Speaker 4 (01:43:33):
I'll about that Kentucky radio there with the call number
six all missed, taken down by the Kentucky Wildcats twenty
to seventeen over in Oxford. And we had another Wildcats
team responsible for an upset in the top ten is
Arizona beating number ten Utah twenty three to ten over
in Salt Lake City. Game of the night was over

(01:43:55):
in a Tuscaloosa big matchup Georgia Alabama, and the games
certainly lived up to life, although it looked like it
was gonna be a blowout for a bit as the
Crimson tied up by twenty eight points at one part
of the game, but the Bulldogs came back and at
one point had a chance to tie it up less
than a minute to go. About forty three seconds to go,
they threw a pass to the end zone and Carson

(01:44:17):
Beck picked off for the third time, Zabian Brown with
the interception for the Crimson Tide to hang on and
give them the win forty one to thirty four. They
moved to four and oh Texas getting the win against
Mississippi State thirty five thirteen. That's their first ever win
in SEC play as a member of that conference. Arch
manning two touchdown passes three hundred and twenty four passing

(01:44:40):
yards Number three Ohio State at thirty eight to seven
win at Michigan State. Number eight Oregon at the Rose
Bowl thirty four to thirteen win against UCLA top ten

they went on their home field against Wisconsin thirty eight

their fourth win in a row after losing a Notre
Dame to open the season. They beat the Arkansas Razorbacks
twenty one seventeen and on the blue field, it's number
twenty five Boise East State he forty five to twenty

(01:45:46):
four victory against Washington State.

Speaker 2 (01:45:48):
Back to you, Bernie all right, Jeff good stuff, guys,
And I met what I said, No Taylor Swift for me. Yeah,
there are five recks that could be broken this season
in the National Football League, And I think you just
heard me say that the passing is down on the aggregate,
which it is. But you've got a lot of stud

(01:46:10):
receivers in the league individually, and history has made seemingly
every NFL season right look at what CJ. Stroud did
last year. Tom Brady set records the year before. In
twenty twenty two is finally year in the league. And see,
here's the thing, guys, they've added a seventeenth game to
the schedule. So these records, if they're broken, they're broken.

(01:46:33):
You got one more game and anybody can come out
of anywhere. Last year, Pooka puka Akua came out of
nowhere last year. So what might happen this year? Well,
Calvin Johnson has held the single season record for receiving
yards for twelve years. Nineteen and sixty four receiving yards

(01:46:54):
in a single season. That's been pretty well untouched, although
three years ago Cooper Cup came very close. He came
within seventeen yards. And course you can't deny the fact
that entering, introducing and adding a seventeenth game very much
helped Cooper Cup. But you've also got Tyreek Hill and

(01:47:16):
Justin Jefferson and Ceede Lamb. They all surpassed it's the
seventeen hundred yards threshold in the past three seasons, and
Tyreek Kill, I know he's gonna need to get to back.
He's actually recorded thirty five hundred yards in his first
two seasons with the Dolphins. And it's inevitable someone's gonna
get hot, Someone's gonna someone's gonna, you know, get two

(01:47:38):
thousand yards receiving in a year. Will it happen this year,
I don't know, but there's a lot of individual receivers.
That's a record to keep an eye on. I think
it's gonna come down sooner rather than later. Which leads
to the second one. Believe it or not, the number
of the record number for receptions for a single season.
It's only set four years ago New Orleans Michael Thomas
the New Orleans Saints. But Cooper Cup also came very

(01:48:00):
close to Michael Thomas's record in twenty nineteen. He just
four catches short, and in fact, five of the top
ten seasons single season reception totals have occurred in the
past five years, including Ceede Lambs one hundred and thirty
five catches last year. So look, if you're the number
one option and you're getting those targets every game and

(01:48:21):
it's a volume approach, of course it has to be.
And Ceedee Lamb, whose reception total has risen every year,
he could be a prime candidate because that Dallas defense
isn't any good, so there are gonna be in a
lot of shootouts this year. How about rookie receptions one
hundred and five Puka Nakua set that last year, one
hundred and five balls he got in twenty twenty three,
he broke Jalen Wonnell's record by one. Who set the

(01:48:47):
who just set the record two years before. So interestingly enough,
only three receivers have ever recorded one hundred catches in
their first year. So despite the two whist totals occurring
in the past three seasons, yes, it's a very tough
mark to hit one record, and I may have to
scratch this off my list, I thought. With the new
kickoff rule, which I hate, guy, I'm done with it now.

(01:49:11):
It's not producing anywhere near what I thought it would produce.
I thought we might see a season this year where
the NFL would set a new record for kick returns
for touchdowns. Remember quarter Ol Patterson, he went off a
few years ago and you got this new kickoff rule
and encouraged his more returns. It's it was only natural
at the beginning of the season to predict more kicks

(01:49:33):
would be returned for touchdowns. I think there was limen
one this year. Now. The Green Bay Packers had a
guy back in the day at Travis Williams. He was amazing.
He had four and one season. Cecil Turner had four
in one season. Cordul Patterson. He heals the record for
the most career kick return touchdowns with nine, and you

(01:49:54):
would think you'll have some opportunities to add to his total.
But we're just not seeing it. We're not seeing it
until But this is one I'm not I'm not scratched.
I'm not scratching off still to this day. Justin Tucker
and it was I think back in twenty twenty one,
he had a sixty six yard field goal at Ford
Field against the Lions and he broke the record that

(01:50:17):
had stood for eight years. It was held by Matt Prater.
But here's the thing. Sixty yard field goals are becoming
increasingly common. I don't know if you saw Dallas kicker
Monday night. I mean he just dropped his leg, swung
through the ball like you know, a nine iron chipping
up onto the green, and he drilled the ball. You know,

(01:50:38):
I think it was a sixty yard er. I mean,
right down the middle with the yards to spare. And
when you consider that, in the history of the National
Football League, Okay, there have only been thirty six sixty
yard field goals. I say only that's actually a lot,
but fifteen have come in the last three seasons and
twenty three. Our By guy is still in the league

(01:51:00):
right now. So could a Matt Prater, could a Jake Elliott,
could a Joey Sly, could a Harrison Butker And the
gentleman I was just talking about played by that football
with the Cowboys. Brandon Aubrey, he's a rookie. They all
had sixty yard field goals in twenty twenty three, and
Aubrey has been nutsile. Last year he connected on all

(01:51:20):
ten of his kicks beyond fifty yards and this year.
I mean, there's one thing you don't have to worry
about in Dallas. At least for now. He's a kicker man.
They got a good kicker in Dallas, So there's that.
Records are made to be broken. Those are the ones
I think that have a shot this year. You never know.
Coming up. I do want to give Kitlyn clarker followers.

(01:51:45):
We have even more proof now of the Kitlyn Clark
effect and the absolute effect she has had and what
her legacy is in growing the WNBA. And it continued
last Sunday even though she was going up against a
full Sunday NFL slate. I'm pretty proud of it. A
Company Live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tarract
dot Com Studios. Keep it locked. You listened to the

(01:52:05):
Bernie Frattles Show on Fox Sports Radio. How are back
at the Bernie Frattles Show? Fox Sports Radio? Company Live
from the Tarrat dot Com Studios here in Las Vegas.
Coming up in nine minutes, The Dance Sensation Sweep of
the Nation. What kind of brand new fool you've followed by?
What my name? Regardless of what people think of Caitlin Clark,
there's one fact beyond debate, She's been a singular force

(01:52:27):
She's growing the women's game in no way I've seen
any other player do it. She sells tickets. She sells
tickets at home and on the road. She puts butts
in seats. People watch on TV because she's captivated the
broader sports fan, the casual sports fan, even the non
sports fan. People just simply like watching her play. She
plays the game differently. Who have you seen that can

(01:52:50):
make logo threes, space the floor, manipulate defenders She's got.
She's a phenomenal passer, Her passes are accurate, her passes
her have great velocity. One of the best passers the
women's game has ever seen. And yes, all she did
was break a bunch of records this year. Everybody wanted
to harp on well, she gets the ball stolen from
her a lot. Sure, Reggie Jackson struck out twice as

(01:53:13):
much as anybody in Major League Baseball, still deserves to
be in the Hall of Fame. That's an applicable analogy.
Here's even more proof of the Caitlyn Clark effect. ESPN
announced that Game one between the Indiana Fever and the
Connecticut Sun last Sunday, right in the midst of the
NFL Slate drew one point eight million viewers on ABC

(01:53:36):
turning during the three o'clock Eastern time slot, making it
the league's most watched playoff game since the two thousand
finals and the most ever watched playoff game on any
ESPN platform, despite that simultaneously airing this game right up
against NFL's Week three games. By the way, that number
one point eight million, way more than doubles the seven

(01:53:58):
hundred and twenty eight thousand average viewship with the twenty
twenty three NBA Finals WNBA Finals and oh, by the way,
well the Fever and Sun played and they said a
viewership record. There were also three other NBA playoff openers
WNBA Playoff openers that aired that same day, but they
averaged barely over four hundred thousand. So we're talking four

(01:54:19):
hundred thousands for those seven hundred and twenty eight thousand
what was averaged in the finals last year, and then
one point eight million, And that is yet more proof
of the Caitlin Clark effect. And I know for some
reason it just drives some people, but Nana's that she

(01:54:39):
could have success, and that's too bad. Her numbers are incredible,
her records are incredible. Some of her college records aren't
going to be insurmountable, but again, I think her legacy
stretches far beyond the record books. She has signed a
spotlight on women's basketball. That's it is truly phenomenal. And

(01:55:00):
you know I always sold out all their home games.
In the last couple of years. She takes over for
the Indiannafe where you saw what they did, the attendance,
the TV ratings right on down the line. So again
the Caitlin Clark effect well alive and well we'll see
what it brings for the upcoming WNBA season next year.

that time in the week. You know you love you
you can't live with it out at two am Pacific
Sunday morning, five em Eastern Sunday morning. And it all

(01:56:06):
revolves around a simple concept. Yogi Berra once said, you
can observe a lot by watching, and that's exactly what
we do. Because you around this great land of ours,
from seed to Oily Sea, and even around the globe
and around the planet, people do things. They engage in behaviors,
they engage in activities, and oftentimes, well the activities they're
relatively harmless, mindless, just silly, stupid. Other times are more serious.

(01:56:32):
They land you in trouble. Many times they land you
in jail. But anyway you slice it, anyway, describe it,
anyway you characterize it, these activities that people engage in,
they always leave us scratching our head and asking ourselves
what kind of brand new fool of you? Interestingly, tonight's

(01:57:01):
feature takes us to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I don't know, guys,
we ever had one from Tulsa? Can you remember? When
I can't? I don't know if you guys, watch that
show on the Tulsa King with Sylvester Stallone. It's fantastic,
episode three, season two's Sunday Night. But I digress. We
take it at Tulsa. We take it to Tulsa where

(01:57:21):
the Tulsa Police Department officers were called out to a
certain business near Seventh Avenue for what appeared to be
an armed robbery in progress. And when the police arrived,
they interviewed the store clerk, who made the statement that

(01:57:43):
the suspect later identified as a mister Newby, pulled out
a knife and threatened to kill the clerk. So see,
here's where it gets interesting. You noticed I didn't mention
the type of business or mention you know what this
individual wanted. And this is exactly what we call. You

(01:58:07):
call this feature what kind of brand newfool you? Because
the business that mister Newby was at where he was
toting a knife and threatening to kill the clerk, was
none other than, wait for it, a beauty supply store. Yes,
what did mister Newby want? Well, he took what he wanted.

(01:58:30):
He pulled out a knife, threatened to kill the clerk,
and then proceeded to steal wait for it, two purple
ponyhail ponytail hair extensions. Hell, I can't even say the
damn thing. Mister Newby stole two purple ponytail hair extensions
and then took off running well. Police said they saw

(01:58:53):
Nuby down the street, and of course he was easy
to spot why he was wearing his brand new purple
ponytail ponytail. I can't even see it, mister Newby, as
he was running down the street was wearing his new
stolen ponytail hair extensions, and he happened to be carrying

(01:59:14):
the knife using the robbery, So you know, got to
be felleening to figure that one out. And uh, you know,
I'm sure I don't know. I don't I don't know
how mister Nuby's gonna fare in jail. But boy, I'll
tell you this is everything about this deal looks crazy. Everything.
So to mister Nuby at Tulsa, who threatened the clerk

(01:59:34):
tried to kill him at the Golden Beauty Supply store
because he wanted to steal two purple ponytail hair extensions
while taking off running east, mister Newby, what kind of
brand new fool you? Okay, Shay, take it away.

Speaker 8 (01:59:52):
All right, guys. We are going to California for this
one where it's Los Angeles, so it's very close. I
haven't been to Los Angeles in a very long time
with this show, but I'm happy to be here in
my hometown.

Speaker 9 (02:00:08):
This one's a little crazy.

Speaker 8 (02:00:09):
So an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department found
out the hard way why you can't bring metal into
a MRI room. The officer basically went into an MRI
room with the MRI on and the gun flew out
of his hands and got attached to the machine. The

(02:00:30):
incidents details were described in a lawsuit followed by the
owners of a Los Angeles medical imaging center who alleged
that their business was wrongly targeted by the LAPD during
a raid in October of twenty twenty three. The lawsuit
was first reported then and the owners of the NoHo
Diagnostic Center assuing the LAPD in the city of Los

(02:00:53):
Angeles and multiple police officers alleging they violated the business owners'
constitutional rights when the LAPD wrongfully rated the NOH Diagnostic
Center thinking it had an illegal cannabis operation going on,
which it did not. In fact, it was just a

(02:01:14):
normal diagnostic center with MRI machines and different imaging machines
for medical and health reasons. When police raided the facility
and we're going through the rooms, one officer went into
a room which clearly said no metal objects in here,
walked in with his rifle, wasn't really attached to him

(02:01:36):
or anything, and that gun got picked up and basically zoomed,
and I got attached to the MRI machine and basically
waited for had they needed to turn it off. And
when the police officers did turn off the machine, I
guess they broke it. So that's part of the lawsuit
as well. But yeah, so they had to turn off

(02:01:57):
the machine and then a lot like of then. But yeah,
that's that's something crazy to me. And I can't believe
I'm saying this though, But LAPD, what kind of fool
are you?

Speaker 2 (02:02:09):
A lot of layers to that one, A lot of
layers to that one. All right, So we've got Tulsa,
We've got Los Angeles, chef, where you're taking.

Speaker 4 (02:02:17):
Us to your backyard, Bernie Las Vegas. Oh, Now, when
we've had a bit to drink, we don't always make
the best decisions. But regardless of how much I've had
to drink at any given time. I've not done anything
near as stupid as this woman in Las Vegas, Patricia Sierra,
forty seven year old, broke into a funeral home, stole

(02:02:40):
a coffin containing a human body, dumped the body out
before she decided then just to ditch the coffin and run,
and so police were called to Affordable Cremation in Burial
funeral home after a surveillance footage showed the woman breaking
through a window and unlocking the front door before proceeding

(02:03:02):
enter the property's viewing room and wheel a coffin outside,
and that's where she apparently dumped the body out and
then left the coffin as she fled the crime scene.
So the nine one one call came in. They rushed
the scene, identified the deceased remains, and they learned the
body had arrived at the funeral home back in August

(02:03:22):
and had a viewing day before being stolen and being
thrown outside, so at least it came after the fact
and not before. But her excuse was she was drunk
at the time. She admitted that the woman on the
surveillance footage was indeed her, but she said she had
no memories of it. Just blacked out completely. Oh, I

(02:03:44):
had no idea. I broke into a funeral home, stole
a coffin, and dumped the body out of it. She
said she drank six beers before the accident, and she
says alcohol often makes her black out. Yeah, well, no kidding.
So she apologized, but still being charged. She faced charged
as a burglary, grand larceny, distrib disturbing human remains, and

(02:04:04):
she's being held on eleven thousand dollars bails. So, Patricia Sierra,
forty seven years old of Las Vegas, what kind of
brand new fool are you?

Speaker 2 (02:04:16):
So? I got to know what the hell exactly was
she going to do with this body? Was she filming
Weekend in Bernie's Part two?

Speaker 11 (02:04:22):
Or what?

Speaker 1 (02:04:22):
I have no idea. I have no idea. What would
cause me to come.

Speaker 2 (02:04:26):
Up in the interview? I mean, wouldn't the police say, okay,
what were your intentions?

Speaker 5 (02:04:31):
Right?

Speaker 4 (02:04:32):
She just said she didn't know, she just drank, blacked out,
and next thing she knows, she's accused of stealing a
coffin and dubling the body out of it.

Speaker 2 (02:04:41):
All right, well, I can't know what that's far be
it from me to try to make sense. That's exactly
why we call this segment what kind of brand new
fool are you? Because these are fools, right, I want
to get in the mind of a fool. There's no
future in that, all right. So we got Los Angeles,
we got Las Vegas, and we got Tulsa, Oklahoma. That
concludes another rousing addition of what kind of brand new foolu,

(02:05:04):
which now allows us to segue into our second favorite bit,
which we lovingly refer to as what my name? All Right?
The Chargers they're now the Los Angeles Chargers, where they
weren't always the Los Angeles Chargers. They were the San
Diego Chargers, but for history buffs, they were actually the

(02:05:27):
Los Angeles Chargers where they were born, but most people
know them as the San Diego Chargers. The last time
the Chargers started three and oh, they tried to go
three and oh last week and got beat by Pittsburgh,
so it didn't happen. But the last time the Chargers
started three and oh, I was their starting quarterback, Shay,
what my name was it?

Speaker 9 (02:05:49):
Philip Rivers?

Speaker 2 (02:05:50):
Not Philip Rivers, that's a pretty good guess. Never started
two and three and oh with Philip Rivers last time.
The Chargers started the season three and zero. I was
their star. Arn't in quarterback? Uh, Kevin Wyatt, what my name?

Speaker 1 (02:06:03):
I'm gonna go with Drew Brees.

Speaker 2 (02:06:05):
It is exactly Drew Brees back all the way back
in two thousand and two.

Speaker 4 (02:06:09):
Wow got hurt and they almost thought his career was
over and the Saints took the chance on him. But yeah,
he had some good years with the Chargers before.

Speaker 2 (02:06:20):
Well, I gotta tell you guys, that's yeah. I mean
Drew was on his way to Miami. That's why Nick
Saban said, I'm not going to coach Alabama and they
wouldn't clear him in the physical. Otherwise Saban wouldn't have
left Miami. And can you imagine what the history might
look like?

Speaker 1 (02:06:34):
Was that really the reason.

Speaker 2 (02:06:37):
Reason? And I've told the story on the air many times.
He sat in the you know Wayne Heiseninger's office, Nick
Saban did. He says, get me my quarterback where this's close,
and they guy went out to get Breeze. Breeze had
that injury in the gold line while the Charger and
they were jiggy about it. Anyway, he didn't pass their
physical and then two days later at Christmas, the family's
met It was a very tearful goodbye. And a couple

(02:07:00):
days later, Wayne Heisange held the press conference the owner
of the Dolphins without Nick Saban and stuck up for
him because Sable was honestin fourth right, and it's just
one of those deals with that was Drew Rees. And
of course eight years later Drew Rees would win a
Super Bowl with the Saints as well. All Right, I'm
gonna we haven't done this in a hell of a
long time. I let's switch to college basketball, so our
own Doug Gottlieb. They've started practice at University Wisconsin Green Bay,

(02:07:22):
so we'll be following that. When it comes to college basketball.
I own more victories against the venerable Bobby Knight than
any other college basketball coach Mark Ramsey.

Speaker 1 (02:07:34):
With my name, I'll just throw out a name, Larry Brown.

Speaker 2 (02:07:39):
Not Larry Brown, not Larry Brown. Okay, in the world
of college basketball, I owned more victories over Bobby Knight
than any other history and any other college basketball coach
in history, Shaye, what my name?

Speaker 9 (02:07:55):
Coach K not coach K.

Speaker 2 (02:08:01):
I own more victories as a college basketball coach over
Bobby Knight than any other college basketball coach in history.
The chef.

Speaker 1 (02:08:07):
What my name, Dean Smith?

Speaker 2 (02:08:10):
These are all good guesses, guys. Think about it, though,
because in order to have the most victories over Bobby Knight,
you'd have to play him a lot the same conference,
in the same conference. I'm going to give you, guys
a clue. He was Magic Johnson's coach in Michigan State.
That's a big clue. Jud Heath Code, guys, Judd, the

(02:08:33):
legendary judge. All right, let's go back to football. I
am the only NFL I'm the only wide receiver in
NFL history to score three touchdowns and gather in twenty
receptions in my first three games. Mark Ramsey, with my name.

Speaker 1 (02:08:55):
Steve Largent.

Speaker 2 (02:08:57):
Well, that's such a good guest, the great Steve large
the Seattle Seahawks game. Not him. I'm the only NFL
wide receiver in history to in my first three games,
score three touchdowns and gather in twenty receptions. Uh shaye,
what my name.

Speaker 9 (02:09:16):
Megatron?

Speaker 2 (02:09:18):
Not Megatron. That's a good guess, though. I am the
only NFL wide receiver in history to score three touchdowns
and haul in twenty receptions in my first three games.
Chef what my name Poka, not pookin Akua, but he's
currently playing for the New York Giants. Anybody want to

(02:09:39):
take guests.

Speaker 9 (02:09:40):
Neighbors, league neighbors, what.

Speaker 4 (02:09:44):
Guest fifty receivers before my league neighbors? As good as
he is, it just happened.

Speaker 2 (02:09:49):
Well, he's been, he's been, he's been lighting them up. Wow,
you're gonna love this one. This is going to bring
back memories. Okay, before Justin Fields did it, now'm gonna
Justin Fields his recently won his first three starts as
quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Before Justin Fields did that,
I was the last Steelers quarterback to win my first

(02:10:11):
three starts for the Steelers. Mark Ramsey, what my name?

Speaker 9 (02:10:16):
Terry Bradshaw and not Terry Bradshaw.

Speaker 2 (02:10:18):
That's a good guess, though, Uh, before Justin Fields did it,
I was the last. I was the last Steelers quarterback
to win my first three starts. Shay, what my name?

Speaker 9 (02:10:30):
Big Ben?

Speaker 2 (02:10:31):
Not big Ben?

Speaker 1 (02:10:33):
Think won like fifteen and one is rookie year, didn't they?
But I guess not the last.

Speaker 2 (02:10:37):
But think of the question, guys, I'm the last guy
to do it. I didn't say big Ben didn't do it.
I didn't say Bradshaw did do I'm the last guy. Yeah, okay,
before Justin Fields, I was the last Steelers quarterback to
win my first three starts. Uh, chef? What my name?

Speaker 1 (02:10:52):
Mitch Trubisky?

Speaker 2 (02:10:54):
Not miss. This is going to bring back great memories.
And it was only like four years ago. I know
you guys remember the venerable Duck Hodges. Wow, Dodges Hodges
you Devlin Right.

Speaker 9 (02:11:08):
That's a good that's a good trivia question.

Speaker 2 (02:11:11):
Yeah, that's the idea behind these. Thanks man. All right,
we are going to switch to college football. I'm the
only head football coach in the history of Indiana football
to have a foreignal start to start the season. Mark
Ramsey with my name.

Speaker 1 (02:11:30):
I have no idea of an Indiana coach.

Speaker 9 (02:11:32):
Sorry, that's no problem.

Speaker 2 (02:11:34):
I'm the only head coach in Indiana football history to
have a foreign start to start the season. Shavee Mogngar
with my name.

Speaker 9 (02:11:42):
Chuck Pagano, not Chuck Pgano.

Speaker 2 (02:11:47):
I'm the only and again, this is college football now,
I'm the.

Speaker 9 (02:11:50):
Old college football Okay, Indiana.

Speaker 2 (02:11:53):
Yeah, I'm the only head coach in Indiana, not Indianapolis Colts,
but Indiana football history to have a four and oh
start to start this season.

Speaker 4 (02:12:02):
Chef with my name, I can't remember his name, but
he was a coach of Michael Pennis played there. They
started four and oh. I thought they did.

Speaker 2 (02:12:09):
That's not that you're thinking to Tom Allen. It's not him. No,
it's actually a guy named Kurt Signetti who came over
from James Madison. Now he's lighting it up. But Indiana's good, man,
They're pretty good, all right.

Speaker 7 (02:12:21):
The NBA.

Speaker 2 (02:12:21):
The why do I keep saying that it's the w NBA.
The w NBA playoffs continue on Sunday. I'm the head
coach of a w NBA team that's actually won eleven
straight playoff games. Mark Ramsey with my name.

Speaker 9 (02:12:37):
I'm laughing.

Speaker 1 (02:12:38):
I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (02:12:39):
That's okay, and that's all right. I'm the head coach
of the w NBA team that has actually won eleven
straight playoff games. Shave Ogengar with my name.

gentleman in the history of Major League Baseball to pitch
a perfect game in the World Series. Mark Ramsey with my.

Speaker 9 (02:14:19):
Name, I'll like a thig of a Satchel page, not
Satuel Paige.

in Major League Baseball history to have pitched a perfect
game in the World Series. Shaye moganngar, what my name?

Speaker 9 (02:14:39):
Yankee legend? Don Larson?

Speaker 2 (02:14:41):
Nicely done, Man, nicely done? Did it in the nineteen
fifty six World Series. I want to hear a little
bit of trivia about that. Yeah, yeah, right after the
game is what foul for divorce? Wow?

Speaker 9 (02:14:57):
The of his life probably.

Speaker 1 (02:15:03):
Coming with the comedy.

Speaker 4 (02:15:05):
Although I remember when MLB Network first went on the air,
they started off with that game and listening to a
young Vin Scully announced the final like three innings of
that game was incredible.

Speaker 2 (02:15:18):
Yeah, Jogi Barricott caught the final pitch, jumped up and down,
and the batter that day a day long to this day,
swears the pitch was high, but what does it matter?
Don Don Larson nineteen fifty six World Series, who the
only perfect game in the history of the World Series.
And yes, right after his wife filed for divorce. All
right back to the NFL. I happen to be the

(02:15:39):
head coach of an NFL team who features the worst
offense in the National Football League. Mark Ramsey with my name.

Speaker 1 (02:15:48):
Is that ebra Flus.

Speaker 2 (02:15:50):
That's a pretty good guess. It's not Matt Ebraflus, but
you know, you'd almost think that. Huh. I'm the head
coach of an NFL football team who features the worst
offense and the entire league. Shane Mogangard, what my name? Who?
I don't even know?

Speaker 8 (02:16:03):
Who has the worst offense? Do the Browns have? Kevin Stefanski.
That's really sad.

Speaker 9 (02:16:09):
I'm a Brown.

Speaker 1 (02:16:09):
Another good guest, factory of sadness.

Speaker 9 (02:16:12):
Yeah, I'll be.

Speaker 2 (02:16:13):
I'll be at the game. I got my credential for
Sunday's game later today. Good. Oh no, I love it. Yeah.
They do a great job. They're allegiant taking care of
the media. But I have really interested in this game
for perverse reasons. But I would just say this, I
honestly thought last year Cleveland was going to be the
Goods with that Jim Schwartz defense man. They sucked man,

(02:16:33):
and I you know what, please my all time favorite,
my two all time favorite ESPN thirty for thirties are
Believe Land the City. Cleveland's a great city. I spent
a lot of time there. I'm not joking. And the
Four Falls of Buffalo. Come on, sports gods, one time.
Throw These guys are bone all right, I'm the head
coach in the National Football League of the worst offense

(02:16:54):
in the National Football League. That's the department of every
dynastee department chef.

Speaker 4 (02:16:58):
What my name, I'm gonna guess unless the red rifle
saved him last week, Dave Canalis, not Dave Canalis.

Speaker 2 (02:17:04):
It's actually believe or not, guys, Brian Dable of those
level giants.

Speaker 1 (02:17:09):
I mean, not surprising, but yeah, I didn't guess that.

Speaker 2 (02:17:11):
That is a bad offense, gentlemen, bad offense.

Speaker 9 (02:17:13):
They beat the Browns.

Speaker 2 (02:17:15):
Somehow, they did, didn't That was a bad day for me.
So yeah, yeah, that's what do you think, Shade the
Brown's gonna beat the Raiders Sunday.

Speaker 9 (02:17:23):
I think they're really I'll just tell you this. The
Cowboys Giant scam was a hard watch for me. It
was a hard watch.

Speaker 2 (02:17:31):
Giants could have won that game, man, they really could.

Speaker 1 (02:17:32):
Have faced what's the number on the Browns Raiders game?

Speaker 2 (02:17:35):
Raiders are laying too? And then actually flip I checked that.
It flipped back around when they announced uh, DeVante Adams
and uh and and Max Crosby were out. I think
it's Browns laye one and a half.

Speaker 1 (02:17:46):
I could look it up, but oh, I take the
Browns on the points in that case, basically the I.

Speaker 2 (02:17:52):
Think the Browns are going to be laying Yeah, all right,
last one, guys. Until my elite neighbors broke my record,
I was the youngest wide receiver in history with multiple
touchdowns in one game. Now here's the word I'm looking for. Okay,
it's based on how many years you're alive in months
and days, Okay. Lake Neighbors just set that record the

(02:18:16):
other day as the youngest wide receiver in history to
score multiple touchdowns in a single game. But until he
did it, I held the record, Mark Ramsey, what my name?

Speaker 1 (02:18:28):
Ronaldo Nehemaya, Oh that's.

Speaker 2 (02:18:31):
A great name, former forty nine or love it, love it?
Until my leak neighbors broke my record, I was the
youngest wide receiver in history to gather multiple touchdowns in
one game. Shay, what my name? Wow? Hookah not pooka

(02:18:52):
until my leak neighbors broke my record. I was the
youngest in terms of age, youngest wide receiver in history
multiple tds in a game. Chef, what my name?

Speaker 1 (02:19:03):
I'm gonna go DeVante Smith.

Speaker 2 (02:19:05):
This goes back a few years, guys. Actually, Mike Evans,
the legendary real Oh okay, I mean he was like
twenty years It's you can research.

Speaker 1 (02:19:13):
It's still balling out.

Speaker 2 (02:19:14):
Twenty years, three months, seven day, whatever the case may be.
You get it all right, So ins another rousing addition
of what kind of brand new fool you followed by?
What by name? I'm Bernie Frattle. Were coming to line
from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio trec dot com studios.
Keep it locked right here. You're listening to the Bernie
Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. We're back on the
Bernie Fraddle Show. Fox Sports Radio. Lots to get to

(02:19:36):
one of the biggest names in college football. Did something
special Saturday. You know, there's an old saying greatness needs
no self promotion. That's why you don't hear about these
things much. But I'm gonna give the dude his flowers.
But first let's go back to our guy, the chef,
Kevin Warett with the list.

Speaker 4 (02:19:54):
Yeah, we got some injury updates from Ian Rappaport regarding
Sunday's slate of NFL action. He says say that Bucks
running back with Shad White, who was on the injury
report this week with an illness, is expected to play
Sunday was food poisoning that he was dealing with, but
has since cleared his systems, so he appears to be
good to go. Forty nine Ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel

(02:20:17):
and left tackle Trent Williams both listed as questionable, but
are both likely to play today. Williams being active, Rappaport says,
could Hinge on a pre game workout, but there is
optimism he will be good to go. Texans running back
Joe Mixon, he returned to practice on Friday, is questionable
is a game time at decision.

Speaker 1 (02:20:38):
He has an ankle issue.

Speaker 4 (02:20:39):
He worked hard to be back and it seems to
be an uphill climb to play, but has not given
it up. According to Rappaport, Bear's wide receiver Keenan Allen,
who's been out the last couple of games with the
heel injury, is expected to play. He is listed as questionable.
Saints running back Alvin Camara and wide receiver Chris o'lave
are questionable and expected to play today. Jaguars wide receiver

(02:21:02):
Gabe Davis's questionable and should be able to go for Jacksonville.
Adam Schefter saying that Justin Herbert has been free a setbacks.
He is preparing to play for Los Angeles in their
big Sunday afternoon matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. College
football action, we did have a couple of upsets in
the top ten, both at the hands of the Wildcats

(02:21:25):
at Kentucky beating number six Old Miss twenty to seventeen,
Well Arizona beating number ten Utah twenty three to ten.
In Tuscaloosa, Number two Georgia number four Alabama. The tie
up twenty eight points at one point, but Georgias came
back and at one point we're in a position to
tie it with forty three seconds to go, but Zabi

(02:21:45):
and Brown picking off Carson Beck in the end zone
to seal the win for the Crimson tie forty one
to thirty four. Beck did throw three interceptions on the
day for the Bulldogs, arch manning two touchdown passes three
are in twenty four yard Texas their first win as
a member of the SEC in conference play thirty five
thirteen against Mississippi State and braid Oregon thirty four to

(02:22:08):
thirteen over UCLA Penn State Number nineteen Illinois. Then Niitney
Lions win it twenty one at two seven. Back to Bernie.

Speaker 2 (02:22:16):
All right, chef, well, we covered all here on the
Bernie Frattle Show. That is why every Saturday night, two
thirty am Pacific, five thirty am Eastern, we bring you
Chris Professor, World of Soccer.

Speaker 11 (02:22:33):
The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drumadja tuneo.

Speaker 6 (02:22:46):
Hie him.

Speaker 1 (02:22:49):
It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer, Bernie.

Speaker 10 (02:22:53):
Before we get going, congratulations to the Detroit Tigers, ten
years in the making to return to the Major League
Baseball playoffs. It's been a long time for the Tigers,
a team I know you and I both dearly care
about part of the rich fabric of Detroit sports, and
I've covered it for a very long time. Usually on
the case of the Detroit Lions, but I would also

(02:23:14):
be remiss if I wouldn't help take this time to
also point out another playoff bound team, which is Detroit
City FC in the city itself. Detroit City is a
squad that has meant a lot to me. Yes, they
don't play in the MLS, they don't play at the
top level what we have considered the top level of
American soccer, but they have worked themselves up to the

(02:23:35):
USL Championship, the top level outside of MLS. In the
USL's kind of counter pyramid system that it's had more
grassroots grown for clubs rather than owners who pay half
a billion dollars for the rights to own a club
as is the MLS model. And Detroit City came up

(02:23:56):
from basically nothing from local businessmen in the metro Detroit
area in down setting up a club in downtown Detroit
back when they were just playing in the NPSL, which
was semi professional. They were getting guys who had just
been mostly with experience playing college and couldn't kick it
on professional clubs anywhere else. And with time, sweat, energy,

(02:24:21):
and a lot a lot of fan support, Detroit City
grew up to the USL Championship a few years ago,
almost from nothing, and that is the magic of soccer
when it is grassroots, and it is something that I
think when we talk so much about the top level,
which we are wont to do here, even on the
world of soccer, we sometimes miss that soccer is ultimately

(02:24:43):
a game of the people, by the people for the people,
and supporters are a huge part of that. You look
at the lower levels of English soccer, you look at
the USL of American soccer, you will find smaller towns,
cities who have been passed over for MLS plenty of times,
as Detroit has. There's been plenty of attempts by Dan
Gilbert and Tom Gores to bring a MLS team to

(02:25:05):
Detroit and they've been rebuffed. And a lot of that
is because well, Detroit has a team, Detroit City, which
has always been very strong. They are probably bound for
the USL Championship playoffs, not hard to do. They're currently
sitting fourth going into this weekend, and the top eight
clubs in USL Championship all get to go. But just

(02:25:25):
another facet of the city of champions that Detroit aspires
to once again become with the Detroit Tigers and the Lions,
but potentially and of course hoping to see a turnaround
for the Detroit Red Wings. The Pistons not so much.
And now from there to Spain, let's talk about the

(02:25:46):
first real test coming up here for ma Real Madrid.
I know I'm not talking about a Classico this early.
I'm talking about their other derby against at Lettyco lad
let it Coo and Real Madrid. We'll face off here
on Sunday. And it's been something of an interesting start
to the season for Real Madrid, who we kept talking
about before the season that they were rich and they

(02:26:08):
were simply getting richer, bringing in Killian Embappe the French
phenom and overhauling the roster with so many young talents
all around them that they had been percolating for so long.
And I think the onus at that time was on
the case of their of their longtime rival Barcelona, to
prove that they could not could be the real ones

(02:26:32):
to compete and hold serve against what Real Madrid is doing. However,
seven games in to the La Liga series, that's not
really been the case. There's been two draws for Real Madrid,
whereas Barcelona is undefeated and on a win streak seven
straight wins, giving them an early four point lead over

(02:26:52):
Real Madrid. And in La Liga between these two clubs,
well we know that year and year after time after time,
those kind of small point differences are usually what damn
one of the clubs over another.

Speaker 1 (02:27:06):
At Letiko is not to be overlooked either.

Speaker 10 (02:27:08):
At Letiko is at fifteen points coming into this competition
as well, right on the heels of Real Madrid.

Speaker 1 (02:27:14):
But the story is with Real Madrid. This is a
club that has really struggled.

Speaker 10 (02:27:19):
To get Killian and Bape going right now, and unfortunately
the Frenchman was injured in the last match against Alaves
on Tuesday night. He kind of gestured to the bench
for a change, came out and it was announced that
he was injured. So they're already down a phenom to hear.
So Real Madrid will look to Jude Bellingham perhaps Connor

(02:27:40):
Gallagher to really get going, and the team really needs
a shot in the arm to really start to show
that they are dominant. And again at Letiko is no pushover.
This is a team that just about thirty games ago
knocked Real Madrid out of the Copa del Rey and
as we know, Spanish Darby's are not to be taken
lightly at all. Meanwhile, it's time for someone to maybe

(02:28:03):
stop Christian pulisicch. It's been some time in the wilderness
for Captain America, the man who has been long waited
to show why he is as dominant as American fans
believe he is, and he hasn't really brought that Sometimes
in Europe, however, with ac Milan, he has shown that

(02:28:23):
he seems to be coming about just fine. As on Friday,
Milan took a three zero win over Lesse and Christian
Pulis has scored in that game, and that is the
first time in his career he has scored in five
straight matches. Yes, it seems that Milan has been able
to figure out what Chelsea and English sides have not,

(02:28:44):
how to put Pulisitch out there, how to get him
in a position to make the plays and scores. They
scored three goals in five minutes before the half, getting
off to a flying start, and Milan needs the firepower,
especially in a very competitive start to the Italian Seria.

Speaker 1 (02:29:06):
It's early season.

Speaker 10 (02:29:06):
It's hard to take any results from what the table
looks like. Right now, I don't believe to Reno will
remain undefeated certainly, nor do I think they'll remain at
the top of the table. And when the shakeup is
all said and done, Milan will be there, as will
there very heated rivals with Internazionale. Nopoly is showing that
they're sticking around and this could be the year that

(02:29:28):
we finally see Uventus return to prominence, now that a
lot of their points deductions are finally passed in the
rear view window, and we'll see if Lazio, who has
really been trying to put it together in the past
two years, can really finally do just that and try
to actually make a break for the Scudetto. But for now,
a lot to be seen in Milan, still the cream

(02:29:50):
of the crop and with Christian Pulsig leading the charge.

Speaker 1 (02:29:54):
That's it for this week, Bernie. We'll see you next
time on the World of Soccer.

Speaker 2 (02:29:59):
All right, I wanted to chop up. We'll see our
tigers do it all starts uh this coming week. I
don't know if you ever saw the movie Juno came
on many years ago with Alan Page and of course
Michael Sarah. There's a scene where she looks at him
and says, you know, think I about like about you.
You're really cool. You don't even try, You're just really cool.

(02:30:19):
He thinks for a seconds says, well, actually try really hard.
There's a player in college football that doesn't try really hard,
but he is too cool for school. He had a
day Saturday. Got to give the dude his flowers some
interesting angles. Here. I'm Bernie Fraddle, were Comedy Lyn from
the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tarrack dot com studios.
Keep it locked, You're listening to the Bernie Fradle Show

(02:30:39):
on Fox Sports Radio. All right, wrapping it up on
the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Fords Radio. Still coming to
live from the tarat dot com studios here and Las Vegas.
Before I go any further, I want to thank my
broadcast team back in Los Angeles. They've been with me
since eleven pm Pacific time on Saturday night. Mark Ramsey,
our technical producer, Kevin Wyre at the chef on all

(02:31:02):
the updates, and Shay Mogungard, our executive producer, Great job
guys on what kind of brand new fool you? What
my name? And good kidd sing on the various discussions tonight.
So in case you missed it, a gentleman who plays

(02:31:23):
quarterback for the Texas Longhorns got us first ever college victory.
And here's what's Here's what's interesting because he did it
against Mississippi State. And this is something that the Manning
brood is familiar with because they are as a family.

(02:31:43):
Five to two and one against Mississippi State. Remember his
grandfather Archie, you know that was the art travel where
he played at Ole miss and his uncle Eli and
then even Peyton twice in his college career. While he
was at Tennessee he played the Bulldogs and he was
one and one. That now arch Manning is one. Or
let me tell you why I get such a kick
out of arch Manning while I shot off that reference

(02:32:06):
to the movie Juno and you're trying to act cool.
You know, Look, there's a there's an old saying greatness
needs no self promotion. Manning does his talking on the
field that I'm here for. He's done virtually nothing to
try to grow his brand, and yet the brand he
was born with made him one of the five biggest
names in college football. He's patient, right, even with the
lure of nil money, and even as of last December,

(02:32:29):
the only nil deal he had was a trading card
partnership with Panini America, and despite there were multiple reports
he was earning millions of Texas. He's a non factor
on social media. He barely speaks to reporters. He barely
speaks to reporters about his college decision and what his
family strategy is. And I get it, he's a Manning.
They're basically royalty and so on and so forth. But

(02:32:53):
believe me, if a lot of other people would have
been born with that name, they'd been first in line
to try to exploit it. But Arch Manning, this is
exploiting on the field. It's just his second start at
a quarterback. They beat Mississippi State Saturday thirty five thirteen.
He was twenty six or thirty one, three hundred and
twenty four yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, and Texas wins

(02:33:15):
its first conference game as a member of the SEC
without too much effort. Right, also Manning his first game
with three hundred passing yards. He also added a one
yard touchdown run that was set up by his own
twenty six yards scramble. This is a Manning who can
actually run his father's Cooper, who they say was the
best athlete of all the Mannings, but an injury cut

(02:33:35):
short in his career, so we never saw Cooper join
Eli or Peyton or his father Archie in the NFL.
It was a very efficient performance, much more so than
his first start in Week four against Louisiana Monroe. He
threw a forty nine yard touchdown palm. I remember on
Twitter he threw a bomb in Monroe's People are on Twitter, well,

(02:33:55):
that passes underthrown. Yeah, people can't wait to play, gotcha,
they really can't. And you know it's like the ward
on Lincoln's nose. They're gonna find something. But this forty
nine yard touchdown bomb to DeAndre Moore late in the
first half to put Texas at fourteen six, that baby
was on the money. I mean he put air under
it and More had to run under it. There was
nothing off about that pass whatsoever. Then he found More

(02:34:17):
for a twenty seven yard strike next to you know,
they're up twenty eighty six. The bottom line is as
solid as his performance was. No one's talking about it
because he's buried a bunch of other big names. But
you wait next year when Quinn yours is gone. This
kid is the real deal and you'll see him in
the NFL sooner rather than later. Tip of the cap
to arch Manning. Greatness needs no self promotion. That's why

(02:34:40):
we promote you. That's gonna do it for the Bernie
Fraddle Show back on these airwaves next Friday night at
eleven PM. The meantime, keep it locked for the Great
Andy Furman on Fox Sports Radio.
