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

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Now let's go stinking genius. Oh big boy, let's go.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Got a fun Sunday night football game going down? Twenty
nine to nineteen. Are you really going to do this?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
What?

Speaker 3 (00:16):
What about after crying for three weeks, pretend like all
is right with your back? We're done twenty nine to nineteen.
Right now, the Steelers trail the Packers. Michael Parsons just
pressure and Aaron Rodgers forcing him up in the pocket.
Another sack for the Packers defense. Uh, and they got
a punt it away. Steelers are in big trouble with
nine to eight to go in the game, packed, starting

(00:37):
to get the ground game going, about to get the
football back up two scores in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's kind of been.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
I don't know, I don't like these throwback jeris.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah, I just I figure, let's start with I cannot
stand these throwbacks.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
I don't that's a bad one. I'm not.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
So that number one and then number two. It took
the game a little bit of a of a ramping
up to get going, but it's been. It's been a
fun watch on a day where I got to tell
you I was all in on one of your theories today.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well, that was a bad football day. Oh my gosh,
it's horrible.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, the after and I'm never going to complain until
I get that opportunity to truly sit down and have
a stress free day where my team's not playing, and
you know, there's at least what looked like some good matchups, right,
Cowboys going to Denver seem like fun, you know, Buccaneers
seem like fun against the Saints in New Orleans.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
And that afternoon window was just well, all day was bad.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
The best when the best game is the Jets versus
Joe Flackel and the Big Bank. When that's when that's
the best came of the day. I think that should
tell you something, Right.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I enjoyed it because my Dolphins did a bucket of course,
you're you're right, it was it was I was thinking
about that too. I'm like, oh, I can't wait to
tell Plank this was. Now, you're right, this was the
worst NFL weekend ever. I mean, you could have really
taken a nap if you wanted. In the afternoon games.
It was. The whole day was horrible. It really was.
There was no intrigue. You're right, the Jack game was
the best. I don't think anybody really cared about that one,

(02:08):
but at least it was fun to watch, and it
just got the victory. And people were making a big
deal about that's why you go for two points when
you're down by two touchdowns. I we'll get to that
later on. I'm good to see to just get the victory.
And but it was a horrible day of NFL games,
no doubt, you know.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
And it's been a year in fairness, it's been an
NFL season where we've been able to kind of flex
our muscle on tight games. We've had close games. It's
been the same in college football right across the board.
I feel like you've had good games. Today was not
that day.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Today.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Today was not that day where I could sit here.
I mean, in fact, there was a point, and you know, man,
I'm a big NASCAR fan. Anyway, there was a point
during the red zone whenever the afternoon games were all
at halftime that I flipped over and watched the end
of the NASCAR race. Now I would usually tape it
and usually watch it kind of you can watch NASCAR
and an hour usually watch the sped up version after

(03:02):
our show is over. On Sunday night so I can
watch all the crashes and see all the fun stuff
I missed.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
But no, no, Arnie, I was.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
I was watching it live because I hate to say it,
but for once I came and I'm like, dang, I'm
not gonna be able to defend this tonight. I can't
even say, well, watch something else, because I was. I
found something else that I watched, and I went and
of course to Brian Kelly News ended up kind of
dominating my evening and afternoon.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
I was just about it.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
I was just about to say that, I mean, could
you imagine if you wanted to listen to the sports
talk radio and what's going on in college football and
Brian Kelly, fifty's gonna get what fifty two or fifty.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Four, fifty three?

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Oh geez, that's the but.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
There isn't a lupsum payment. And it's also gonna be
affected by a job if he gets a job in
both coaching and broadcasting.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Oh geez. Well, well, whatever it is. It's just that
he's gone. And you know Lane Kiffin being rumored all
over the place. I guess they're gonna give him all
the money in the world to coach somewhere Florida or
wherever it's gonna be. And it's just craziness when all
the coaching changes out there, Absolutely insane there.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Chris Well and again if you missed it with the NFL.
And by the way, Tucker Kraft becoming a star before
our eyes here tonight. He's now got seven catches for
one hundred and forty three yards and one hundred and
thirty one of those one p forty three for the Packers.
Tied end is after the catch they're knocking on the
door of the red zone again. Up twenty nine to nineteen.
Packers in complete control of this game with a fifteen left.

(04:26):
But on a day like today, whenever the NFL kind
of struggled to give us a compelling content and compelling games,
a compelling product, if you will, you're getting one of
the wildest stories that's played out in the college football
season period. Not that a coach was fired, because we
saw it with Florida, we saw it with Penn State.
Not that there's a massive buyout, But Arnie, I was

(04:49):
talking to people, I was I was reading Ross Dellinger
from Yahoo Sports just before we came on the air.
I was listening to a couple of different podcasts before
we came on the air, like this came from the governor's.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Right, I saw that, right, right, they came from the
high ups. Well, well, we don't understand, and you probably
understand a lot better than the rest of us listening
to the show tonight. But I mean the money that
comes in from like LSU football and what it brings
into the economy and the restaurants and businesses and on
and on and on, and you know what I'm talking about.
I mean, it's astronomical what it brings into admissions and

(05:24):
people wanting to go to school there, and and just
one thing trickles down to another. I don't know if
you should be fired after three losses in a row,
but my goodness, certainly it's not a job that people
are going to take lightly. If you're not doing it,
you're gonna get out of there more sooner than later.
In the fifty four million or whatever, fifty three million,
that just shows you they're not afraid of throwing that

(05:47):
money and getting somebody else in there. Not that is
somebody else going to go ahead and win every game.
It feels like the expectations of these college coaches are
are crazy, Chris, I don't know, you know, I don't
know where you're beginning. I don't even know where to
even bring up Stark's name. Was that real? Did he
really say that he wanted to go to the NFL?
Or that was Bogus or Tennessee or I don't even

(06:08):
know if it's real anymore.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
I don't know what to believe.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
I know he took a very staunch stance against it,
but never really denied it, right, you know, he was
all fired up and he's like, I'd love to talk
to the person, and YadA, YadA, YadA, but never said
I'm staying at Texas and I'm not going anywhere, which
you can't do, right, You just you can't do because
you never know, now, you know.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Here's my bottom line in all of this, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Is this is my life like I live college football
twenty four seven, three sixty five. I live in a
college city. I don't have anyone that's complaining about money.
Stop it, because and that's what we hear all the time.
College athletic programs are like my seventeen year old daughter
and my twenty one year old son. They always need
money and they're always complaining about money. They Oh, I

(06:57):
just don't know. We gotta let this person go out
of this staff member go. Meanwhile, it's like, oh, yeah,
your coach has lost his third game, fifty million.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Dollars, buy up. Don't worry, we got it, get him
out of here.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
And everyone will be like, oh, it's different line items,
and that's I don't care. You know that that fifty
three mil. It's fifty three mil. And in an era
where people want to wring their hands about having to
pay extra for travel or hotel rooms or whatever it is,
whenever you're just poning up these buyouts. You know, get
out of here with this garbage that you don't have
any money. That's number one what angers me. But number two,

(07:27):
in an era where we're we've got to be more
patient than we've ever been in college football, we're not
being patient. And I'm not saying that you have to
be with any of these firings that have been made,
but I mean, come on, that's only the third loss
of the season for LSU.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
It's not like they're a terrible football tea, But you
know what, I think.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's more the three losses in a row and the
combination of his demeanor. Oh he's a yeah, I'm here,
and he is just not a likable guy. If the
guy was likable, maybe it'd be a different story. But
oh always, I mean, it's just the well, I don't
know if it's the attitude as a flack, is the
mean or whatever you want to call it, Chris, but
boy does he come off as just not a very

(08:06):
likable guy at all. And that could be part of
the reasons. Also, you know, not only do you have
to coach the team, you gotta kiss some baby, shake
some hands, be with the you know. But again, Gris,
you know better than the rest of us are. Man,
you gotta live. You gotta live for the alumni. They're
the one's giving you the money for cry it out loud.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
I just I read this today and this again is
from Ross Ellinger's article in Yahoo, and then we'll dive
right into the day that was in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
It looks like.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Green Bay is going to attempt a twenty eight yard
field goal. It's good thirty two to nineteen. They lead
the Steelers five twenty eight. Not insurmountable by any choice
for the for the Steelers, but they have not done
much offensively in the second half of this game. So
thirty two nineteen five, twenty eight to go in Sunday
Night football. I want to read this paragraph because it

(08:54):
kind of blew me away. LSU football is a power
unlike anything else in the state, perhaps the single most
influential and powerful entity across the boot of Louisiana. More
than the NFL's New Orleans Saints. Yes, and the seafood industry,
even the oil rigs too. It's a reason that the

(09:16):
states politics and LSU football are tethered to one another,
linked forever, a relationship that began one hundred years ago.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
I didn't know it was bigger than the seafood industry.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
I don't know if there's sarcasm in that or not,
but it shouldn't seem like.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Well, I look, I told you it was bigger than
we could all really imagine. And what it brings in,
like you know what weekends when like an Alabama comes
to town or something like that, it pays for the
economy for like the year for some of these restaurants
and stores and businesses. It is this astronomical. So I
don't think I it might not be sarcasm when they

(09:50):
say They're bigger than the seafood industry down there. It's
tremendously big. And that's why you got politicians right now
throwing their two cents in and deciding what's going to
happ It is interesting.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Just one final thought on this and then we'll move
on to give the big story of the night breaking
in college football. Brian Kelly is out Frank Wilson. Frank Wilson,
by the way, one time guy that everyone wanted to
be the head coach at LSU. If you go back
in Frank Wilson's career as an assistant football coach, I
mean he is a Louisiana guy. He grew up in

(10:22):
New Orleans. He was an assistant coach back in twenty
ten for the Tigers, and then when they brought him
back as the associated head coach in twenty twenty two,
is like a big deal. So he kind of struggled
when he got that head coach opportunity at UTSA didn't
go so well for him, But he's getting an opportunity
now to be the interim coach the rest of the way.

(10:43):
But here's the thing, every single one of these jobs,
it appears their top candidate is lane Kiffen, and I
saw him, and I saw him front and center this weekend,
and I saw him do some of the stupidest stuff
I've ever seen a head coach do, like going forward
on fourth and one in your own like at the
nineteen yard line.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
It's like, what are you doing here?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
And not getting it, basically letting ow you back in
the football game. And I saw him do some of
the most brilliant stuff that I've ever seen. And the
media loves him. He's a media darling. I don't know
how he's gonna do it, Arnie, but it looks like
lane kiff and might coach like four teams next year.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Good luck. I know that's pretty good that at least
he's guaranteed a winning season from somebody out there. And
the same thing goes for Sark. I mean, what a
couple of years ago.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, I don't think Sark's a college candidate anywhere. I
think he's in. I think it's NFL only for Sark
if he leaves Texas.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
I think he does want to leave Texas. I think
he's ready to go ahead and make a move to
the NFL. I'm maybe I'm wrong. I don't even know
if you get paid as much in the NFL. But
I think he's ready to go ahead and call it
quits and move on one more step. And I think
he's done with the whole recruiting process.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Well, he's done pretty well in it. I mean, if
he is, I won't lie to you. That's that's good
news for a lot of us here in the South.
That's good news for a lot of people in the
SEC because Texas has been really good in the recruiting world. Now,
I don't know what your sources are, like Arnie are
if your source is what you like to say, common sense?

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Is that what you're saying common right?

Speaker 3 (12:03):
But I don't know how much comment since you have
when the dude's been in the playoffs the last two years. Yeah,
pretty pretty unlimited budget whatever it comes to, spinning nil
if he wants to.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
By the way, as we wrap up college football, and
you know, just the one thing on the game in
the Oklahoma game this this weekend, I'm going to invite
you back if you want to come back. I know
you're having a tough time in the SEC. If if
you want to bring Oklahoma back to.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
The big fine, we'll be Okay, We're good.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
You want to if you want to come on, I
don't want to go back to that league that a
you don't even know anything about and be nobody's watching.
Do you see those dopes on tn T trying to
flex their muscle? We're covering the Big Twelve. It's like
I didn't even know that the Big twelve is on
tn T. What do you guys doing?

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Look at you?

Speaker 4 (12:47):
Nobody's watching your games.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
You dumped the girl that was a six, and now
you're going out with a ten and now you're all snobby.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Ar Well, that's that's I learned it from watching you, dad,
and that's kind of been your little latitude on everything.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
All right, I don't want to fight back.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
All right, We're coming to you live from the Fox
Sports Radio studio, says we always do, of course, Patrick Sweek,
our producer Mary running the board, and uh the Sager.
We'll be along with the updates throughout the show tonight.
But I mean, I I don't really know even where
to start in the NFL from today because I guess
a tip of the cap. Well, I'm sorry your Dolphins

(13:20):
won a game. Congratulations when two had a swollen eye?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
What happened? What we did they ever say anything about
why let me give my Dolphins sound effect. Squeal squeal.
I loved it. That was the way they were just
pouring it on. I'm like, score one hundred, let's go, man.
I not only the way they dominated Atlanta, they did
it on the road too. Out a phenomenal game with
the backup quarterback.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
He threw.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
He threw for four touchdowns. I don't care who was quarterback,
it was, it was. It was great. And as we
were dominating the game, I'm like, Okay, it feels good
to get a victory. And then I'm like, well, first,
I'm like, okay, the game's closed, let's go ahead and
add one more score lead. And I'm like, okay, We're
we're you know, we should have been playing like this
all year.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
I didn't get mad that you haven't done it all
year long? Did we score one? When I go, you
know what, we could make a run at this thing? No?
Oh yeah, I'm looking at I Will. I'm looking at
the schedule like, okay, let's go.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
I go.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Eleven and six is very possible, and we'll get into
the playoffs. We're playoff with we certainly got a chance,
like we could do this thing. We could do it
as we're dominating Atlanta. I supposed to be a good deal.
Let's go. I feel good. Don't don't say that quick man.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
We called this last week and he said, as soon
as they win a game, he's going to start acting
like they're.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
Good and they're going to playoffs.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
He's like, no, no, that chemistry professor has to go
and is not when they win one game.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
You're listen, we're using your words. Your words, there's no
way I've used seen the schedule remaining.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
For first of all, I warned you about to schedule
in the preseason. Okay, you got one team on there
that you're better than in that we already.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Won on Thursday, so that's gonna be three and six.
Oh yeah, that's did I stutter?

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Yes, you did, because you're not We're not doing this,
all right, listen, we're gonna grab a break a minute.
Just I'm just not doing this. I'm not doing this,
and you're not gonna do this. We told you that
you're gonna do this. As soon as they win one game.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
And we get the bills at a bad time and
we get the commanders.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
Explain a bad time for the Bills.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well, they're just not playing their best football right now.
Did you watch it what they did today? And then
we got the Saints and the Jets and the and
we get the Bengals with no quarterback. I mean this
is very possibly we run the table, go eleven and
six and and get it to the plot. Get out
of our way.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Man, you're gonna be favored in one game of your
next four. You're not gonna be favored against the Ravens
or the Bills or the Commanders, and then you might
be favored against the Saints, who Tyler shuck looked, ok,
maybe he gets things cooking by that.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
I think the listeners want the Dolphins to make it.
I think everybody's back on the Dolphin baandwagon. Let's go
back on the bandwagon. I don't I don't think so,
I don't know. I don't know. Well, if I turned
out to be right, it just goes to show you.
You know you you said bad things about me. Well,
everybody thought Einstein was crazy, So I feel good, Like
I said, what happens when you're wrong?

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Though, Yeah, I know he's wrong that you said I
was wrong, but you okay, we're not doing this. You
came into the show at the start of the season
and said, the Dolphins have the easiest schedule there is.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
And I stand by that, and I stand by that.
Then they have the easiest remaining path.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
You said the cold No, you don't have the easiest
remaining path.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Please.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
You said the Colts.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Are going to be the worst team in the NFL.
I did say Daniel Jones was a great quarterback.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
You now, you didn't say he was a great quarterback.
You said you thought he was an NFL.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
You give you a starting NFL quarterback and you called
me crazy just like I did. Right, But we're not
doing this tonight, all right, when we come back. So
what are you gonna have to do when they make
the playoffs, aren't you, big boy? Yes?

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Absolutely, if they make the playoffs, I'll cut my foot off. Okay,
I'll pull a Mark Willard whenever he's like if Lebron
ever was it, if Lebron ever wins a title, he'll
cut his arm off.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Still, Oh, Brian, no an arm by the way.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I'm gonna hold you to that. I'm gonna make you
cut your Yeah, I do it.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
I'm all about it, Sideline, just like I would hold
you to how many times you've quit this job that
you've bet you've lost.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
And hop along fink right here on Fox Sports.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Right, Yeah, let's get out of here. I can't do
this all right. When we come back, we'll roll through
the weekend that was. But before we grab a break,
if you've seen that Red Ostrich logo on the Professional
Baseball postseason helmets, it's been awesome. That's Draus family owns
since nineteen forty eight and trusted by.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
The pros worldwide.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Pants built like tools, durable, comfortable, an engineered to perform
from grit to glory. Gear up now at Strauss dot com.
That's st r a u S get a night off
from the World Series. Though, Arnie I thought, listen, I
know that there was a handful of Blue Jays fans
that suddenly showed up in my feed last night. They
were like, hey, we just wanted to be one and one.
I'm like, are you crazy? You beat the snot out

(18:14):
of him, You put eleven on the board when you
finally got into the bullpen, and then you get yamamotoed
on Friday night. Now all of a sudden, you're like, no,
we're just happy at one and what the Dodgers after
the as bad as they looked on Thursday night to
get a split, I was blown away.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
I know, I look, first of all, I feel better now.
I was a little worried about that. Like you said,
you go down to nothing and then you're like, Okay,
you lose one in Los Angeles. They're gonna go back
to Toronto at least up three games to two, or maybe
even finish it off in La Dodgers have the better pitching, though,
and you knew it was gonna come around. They look,
they batted him around. They got that nine run inning

(18:50):
was absolutely incredible. Everything just went their way. It's not
gonna go like that all the way for Toronto. I
still like my Dodgers to win this thing there, Chris,
my Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Wow, when we come back, we'll hit the early thoughts
from not only Sunday Night Football, which looks like it's
just about done thirty five nineteen Packers all over the
Steelers now with three point fifty two to go in
the game and the day that was its in the NFL.

Radio Studios. Little drama. Late in this game, Roman Wilson
made what was first ruled an incomplete pass, then up
on the expedited review, they said he caught it.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
What'd you think?

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Do you think that was a touchdown? I didn't see it.
I didn't say. I don't have it up, you know
watching study that football. No, I don't have my TV up.
I was afraid to plug it in because I was
afraid it was going to screw something up with my
new studio. And then I never plugged it in. I
got to go ahead and do that.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
You didn't pluck in hear TV?

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah, because I was afraid it was gonna set up sixty.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
It doesn't matter. Two point conversion was no good? Looked
like mech was that DK looked like he dropped it.
Maybe some pretty good deep Now that wasn't met Johnny Smith.
That was Johnny Smith. And yeah, he dropped it. Oh
my gosh, Johnny Smith had it right in his bread
basket and dropped it. So are you watching game cast?
Is that how you're following it?

Speaker 2 (20:53):
No? That And I was watching it right before he came,
before we got on the air, So I okay, I
was watching it in the other room.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Okay, well it's uh, we're gonna have an on sidekick.
But two oh seven left, it's a ten point game.
Roman Wilson caught Well, disager is watching it. Roman Wilson
caught it and he held on to it for a minute,
couple of steps. Patty, you guys saw it back in
the studio, right. I was surprised because usually, you know,
as he goes down to the ground, the ball pops out.

(21:21):
The Packers defensive back celebrated, and we're all thinking, huh,
that looked like a catch to me. Terry McCauley's talking
about it right now and Sunday that football. But I
don't know, disager Patrick, what'd you guys think? I thought
it was a catch.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
I thought they ruled it right and backing up with
multiple steps. It wasn't like have to survive the ground
because he didn't go to the ground.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
What do you think Patrick?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Catch?

Speaker 7 (21:42):
I initially I didn't actually think it was a catch
because youll, you know, he ends up like they end up,
you know, kind of tossing it down. But once I
saw the feet, I was actually with the editor Brandon
in the back kind of like looking at that.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah, I know that that that's by rule, that's a catch.
The officiating gets worse every year. I complained about it,
everyone saying it's.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
A catch, and they rule it to catch. So you
what are you doing?

Speaker 6 (22:02):
Did you see the toush push fumble that wasn't today
at Chilling.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
Alms That it was pretty bad.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Green Bay recovers the on sidekick, so they'll get the
football back. Steelers are out of timeouts thirty five twenty five.
Packers look like they're going to improve the five to
one and one. The Steelers are gonna fall to four
and three. So at least Arnie we got a decent
football game here to wrap up the day on a
day where we really only had what maybe one or
two games that you kind of were compelled by to

(22:28):
the very end, and that that was the Jets and
the Bengals. Congrats to the Jets getting its first win
of the season, maybe like the Texans and the Niners,
but everything else was at the very least a two
score even three score game. That's going back to Thursday
night football whenever the Chargers beat the snot out of
the Vikings.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, it was something that we're just gonna go ahead
and just turn the page on this week and just
call it a bad week. There are a few things
we can learn that will go over. But it was
good to see that just get their first victor, especially
so I don't want them to get it against my Dolphins,
but they they came back from fourteen. I mean they
really they had it like a ninety nine percent chance
to win. I'm talking about Cincinnati when Hitty of fourteen

(23:08):
boyd leads, So who would have thought that they were
gonna go ahead and let that one slip away and
choke it away, But good for the Jets to finally
get a victory there. They looked like a real team.
They you know, overcame adversity and won this thing. It was.
It was a great victory on the road.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
I'll tell you one storyline that's playing out today is
people that are having sympathy for Miles Garrett. He had
five sacks today. Yeah, dude, he took a bag before
the season. Yeah, I was, okay, what do you feel about.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
He's the one that he wanted to get traded, but
they said, we'll give you more money. Okay, I'll think
I'm going to stay here.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
Yeah, exactly, just just magically you think that's gonna work.
I mean, I hey, it's incredible, and I'm sure it
sucks for guys like him and Max Crosby. You know,
JJ Watt went through this whenever he was with the
Texans and they had some lean years, all these good
edge with Kleil Mackerly and his cred the Raiders.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
I'm sure it sucks, but.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
When you choose to get paid, kind of lose some
sympathy for you on that front. Great play on a
bad team, but guess what, Arnie, that's what happens in life.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Well, you have to do like hendricks Hendrickson. Hendrickson did right.
He only took one year and he'll be a free
agents out the way. It's gonna work with him. The
Cowboys really interested in both, Were they really trying to
make a move or because it seems like that was
the correct report when they said that.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
You know what made you think it was the correct
report the fact that everyone came out today and said
the Cowboys hadn't called him Max Crosby.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
That's because they're all foally agreeed on it.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
That's why Ian Rappaport immediately, I don't know what Diana
Rossini's on. I hope she's okay, but she's about zero
for three if you talk about people disputing reports right away.
But I mean, Mark Davis even came out, it's like, yeah,
we're not shopping him, and the Cowboys haven't called. People
can call they want, but we're not trading Max Crosby.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Now.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
I don't know about Hendrickson, and if I was the Bengals,
I think I'd be willing to go ahead and move
on from him. Just I mean, you're not really going
anywhere this year, and maybe you get a little draft
capital draft capital.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
For him, and he's not signed for the long term anyways. No,
eventually he can. You know, you could just just say audios,
goodbye if you're not going to go and get something
for him.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
So I think if I did this right, that the
average margin today was eighteen points in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Wow, that's got to be one of the biggest margins
in any particular week I think.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
And that included the one point game between the Jets
and the Bengals. So here's a man who's actually really
good in math, Steve de Seger, with what's trending in
the ways he sport. What's going on?

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Steve's right, we don't actually know because it's radio.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
We don't actually see him.

Speaker 8 (25:34):
Ben is in his hand on the bikerphone.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
Yeah, it's rare that if it's a margin that averages
twenty or say low twenties, it's very rare. And that's
what we're getting close to this NFL weekend. You mentioned
Trey hendrickson the Bengals defensive end did aggravate his hip
entry in today's game where somehow Cincinnati at home did
not beat the windless Jets.

Speaker 8 (25:55):
There was an on side.

Speaker 6 (25:56):
Kick attempt in this game at Pittsburgh late and they
did not recover it. Last season, only three of fifty
attempts were successful, and so far this NFL season, including
today that I've seen, just one out of twenty three
on side kicks have been recovered by the kicking team
so far this year. So is this going to be

(26:19):
a thing that's brought up in the offseason owners meetings?
Do we have another option? Because one out of twenty three,
you know, can we do something else? And the something
else that's been suggested was what the fourth and fifteen
or yeah, or fourth and twenty and then you've just
convert this one play great wherever you're tackled, continue a drive,

(26:40):
you keep the ball, that type of thing. It is
now final at Pittsburgh. The Packers win thirty five twenty
five over the Steelers Green Bay now five one and one.

Speaker 8 (26:49):
Jordan Love at.

Speaker 6 (26:50):
One point completed twenty straight passes. He finished twenty nine
for thirty seven, three hundred and sixty yards three touchdowns,
two of them do his tight end Tuck Craft, who
had seven catches for one hundred forty three yards. A
ten point win for the road team despite Aaron Rodgers
with two touchdown passes. As for the earlier games, we

(27:11):
had Denver winning its fifth in a row beating Dallas
forty four to twenty four. Bo Nicks four TD passes,
one interception. New England won its fifth in a row
beating Cleveland thirty two to thirteen. Drake May three TD
passes in the third quarter the Philadelphia game at home
against the Giants, it looked like the old Eagles thirty
eight to twenty the final. The sad news about the

(27:32):
Giants rookie running back Camp Scataboo suffered a gruesome ankle
r in the second quarter a dislocation taken to the hospital,
reportedly surgery tonight, and Giants wide receiver Molik Neighbors will
reportedly have his knee surgery finally this week for a
touring ACL and meniscus. He was injured a month ago.
And then Saquon Barkley was surgical against his old team,

(27:55):
the Giants first touch, sixty five yard touchdown run and
on all only fourteen carries today in Philly, Barkley at
one hundred and fifty yards in three quarters of work,
a touchdown run and a touchdown reception. The Colts are
seven and one after beating Tennessee thirty eight to fourteen.
The Titans had easily the worst offense in the league
coming in. They only averaged fourteen points a game, worst

(28:18):
in the league. They scored fourteen. Tampa Bay won at
New Orleans twenty three to three. Speaking a bad team,
Saints four turnovers. They're one in seven. They will be
reevaluating the quarterback position in the next forty eight hours.
I don't know what they're going to come up with.
You mentioned, Okay, Shuck, I guess comparatively, Shuck was fine.
Spencer Rattler as a starting quarterback in the pros is

(28:40):
now one in thirteen.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Oh, that's good or not?

Speaker 8 (28:43):
Home wins for Houston.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Try Alton like one for fifteen is first sixteen game.

Speaker 6 (28:47):
I don't believe he played every game his rookie year. Okay, yeah,
but yeah, it was a truly awful start, and frankly
the rookie year Peyton Manning was truly awful, with one
pick after another, but nobody remembers it. Buff Low one
at Carolina forty to nine. James Cook on nineteen carries
had two hundred and sixteen yards rushing and two scores.
Andy Dalton's quarterback playing Carolina was awful, and the Kirk

(29:10):
Cousins game in Atlanta was awful. Man talk about laying
an egg. Miami wins at Atlanta thirty four to ten
to a tongue of iiloa. Not just four touchdown passes
twenty of twenty six, let's go two hundred five yards.
He should have that illness for the eye more stead.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
But we didn't right back.

Speaker 8 (29:29):
There was on the next ten stand at.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
The letter on each of our last six shows. Stot
didn't right back.

Speaker 6 (29:35):
Yeah, absolutely, Tua was getting the ball out quickly and
not at all throwing downfield, unlike bow knicks today. By
the way, but man was this successful. I mean the
average time he was getting the ball out was under
two point four seconds. When he was doing that, he
was succeeding and moving down the field and got a
tuck couple of his touchdowns, by the way.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
That way, and.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
Another AFC team beats an NFC team. Now Pittsburgh didn't
win tonight. The AFC had been six and oh so
far this weekend against the NFC. We still have a
game tomorrow where Kansas City's going to be hosting Washington.
The Jets comeback was at Cincinnati thirty nine thirty eight.
Jets had been zero to seven. Brees Hall three touchdowns
in the fourth quarter, including the game winning TD pass.

(30:20):
The sad news this morning that former Jets center Nick
Mangold passed away at the age of forty one due
to kidney disease. LSU fired head coach Brian Kelly. Tonight,
William Byron won the NASCAR race at Martinsville. NHL overtime
wins for San Jose, Tampa Bay, and New Jersey. There
are two late games in the NBA. The Clippers were
in action at home. They've just beaten Portland one fourteen

(30:42):
one oh seven, and the Lakers in the final seconds
are leading at Sacramento one twenty six to one twenty.
Luka Doncic is out at least a week with a
sprained left finger and bruised leg, so Austin Rees has
stepped up. He has won fifty one points tonight from
the foul line. He's twenty one of twenty two wow.

(31:04):
Reeves has ten rebounds, nine assists and only two turnovers.
Lakers at the line in the final seconds already up six.
Minnesota beat Indiana, but Anthony Edwards left early with hamstring tightness.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Back to you, a lot of injuries we're keeping an
eye on in the NBA early in the season.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
It's darning plank.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
But we're talking a lot about National Football League boredom today.
To be honest with you, all right, So what you
want to go game by game? Or do you just
want to pick a few things you've already brought us
to tiers.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
On the Dolphins, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Why they looked they look like the best team in
the NFL what they did today.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
The Jets, well, the Jets look like the best team
in the NFL with what they did today.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Man came from behind twenty three fourth quarter one points.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
I don't know if that changed your mind about going
for the two point conversion, even though it worked out
for them. I still am against it. We'll get to
that later on, but they were Do you keep saying
get to it later on? We got nothing else to
talk about in the NFL tonight. I don't think it.
I still don't think you go for two points in
that situation. You go for one if you want to
go for two on the second one and try to
win it because there's less than thirty seconds left in

(32:06):
the game or twenty seconds left in the game, and
it's win or lose. I'm all for it. But if
it's like a minute thirty and you don't get it,
you lose, because even if you get it, there's no
guarantee you.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
Let's lay it because I don't know if everyone knows
what you're talking about. And the whole theory is that
whenever you score a touchdown to cut a two score
lead to one, that you go ahead and go for
two at that point. Doug Peterson was big on it
whenever he was with the Eagles and when he was
with the Jaguars. You've seen analytics coaches. It is wild
all across college football.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
You see it.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Lincoln Riley does it with USC. I think you've seen
it work a couple of places too here recently. But
the Jets are down thirty eight to twenty four. Brisall
scores on a twenty seven yard touchdown run. So instead
of just kicking the extra point to make it thirty
eight thirty one, they go for two and they get it,
so it's thirty eight thirty two. They get the football

(32:59):
back and then they win on that touchdown pass to
Bresaw from Mason Taylor.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Which was wild. That was actually I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
To Mason Taylor, Pardon me.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
And so you've seen a lot of teams because the
theory is, if you're down two touchdowns and you score
to cut it to a score, then just go ahead
and get your two point conversion then instead of waiting
till the end, like Arnie wants.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
To say, does this change anything now with Aaron Glenn?
I mean I kind of thought he was on the
hot seat. Maybe he still is, or maybe this kind
of pushes people back and they'll just give him the
full year and get ready for year two. They looked
real good. I mean, it's so much different than the
game last game when they just struggled offensively I think

(33:41):
against Denver. But I wonder if this changes anything after
this victory.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
Well they're one in seven, yeah, So I mean I
don't I don't know what you're wanting to change. I mean,
justin Field's had a good game against a bad defense,
and you beat Joe Flacco. So I mean again, I
know Flacka looked incredible last week. It's a week to
week league, but I mean, I don't know if anyone's

(34:06):
sitting back after winning one game and losing your previous
seven to be like we figured it out. I don't
know if the Jets are that team. I mean they
they played some team. Don't get me wrong, They've played
some teams tight right in their last three weeks. The
Broncos game was a two point game. The Panthers game
was a touchdown game, but the reason they didn't win
it was their offense, right, So to get the offense
going today, I don't know, maybe a bit of a

(34:28):
reach to say, quote unquote they figure things out.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
No, yeah, I'm not gonna say they figured out. But
I also think that maybe now that because I heard
the rumors that they were thinking about shopping Breeze Hall,
I don't think that's going to happen now. We had
a pretty big game. I don't think Garret Gun's on
the hot seat as much as I thought he was
last week. I think things have kind of cooled off,
and not just by on this one win. So I
think it does kind of solve a few things. I

(34:51):
maybe I'm wrong, but I do think it solves.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
A couple of So, then who's on the hotter seat
right now? With the way things are going in the NFS,
in the AFC East. Mike McDaniel, Aaron Glynn.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Oh, Mike McDaniel, Still I think it is. Yeah, all right, Yeah,
he's still on the hot seat. And yeah he has
to do a lot more than just win one game.
This is a good start going two and six. We'll
see what he does the rest of the year. That's
why they didn't get rid of him.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
This is a good start going two and six.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
No, a good start to maybe saving the rest of
the year. That's why they didn't fire him. They're like,
all right, you got us in this situation. We're gonna
give you the rest of the year to bail yourself
out or you're gonna lose your job. That's what's gonna
happen here.

Speaker 3 (35:33):

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Big news breaking tonight in the college football world, Brian
Kelly has been fired by LSU. Frank Wilson will serve
as their interim coach. He had eleven losses against AP
ranked teams and he joins a list of now seven
Power four coaches that have been fired this year, which
includes Philly Napier and Brian Kelly. Every so often I'll

(36:35):
see this listen, I'm like, oh yeah, Oklahoma State fired
my gun. He completely forgot about that. But story developing tonight.
And then in Sunday Night Football, how about the Packers Arnie. Uh,
you know, we've debated a lot about all right, who's
the team from the NFC that we would look at
and say, all right, there's your number one Super Bowl contender.
Because the Eagles had a couple down weeks and listen

(36:56):
to the Vikings have not been what anyone thought they
were going to be in the preseason. Niners had battle
injuries and advertisity.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
He got injuries too. Yeah, Tampa's all beat up.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
But I mean green Bay five to one and one,
that's three straight wins right now. I mean is they're
right there with Detroit as being a contender, even though
Detroit got smoked when they play the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Well, green Bay is number one right now in the NFC.
Ye're one hundred percent right on that. If we're doing
the power rankings, that's exactly.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
Are any power rankings?

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Matter of fact, did I bring that up earlier? I
said they looked good from like their first game. They
kind of cooled down in the like the middle of that.
But right now, Philadelphia, I wouldn't put any trust in them,
and especially with that defense that they had. We mentioned
Tampa Bay with all the injuries out there, and Seattle
could be hit and miss. With them winans, they still
expect to come up and make a run. I'm curious

(37:45):
to see if the Rams or San Francisco have anything left.
Bad loss for the Bears today too, So we'll see
if they get back on track, there's still a lot
of things to get sorted out there this year.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
I know we do it knee jerk. Well, you're a
knee jerk reaction.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
I am a knee jerk.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
We do a knee jerk reaction show with Sunday Night
after all the games are final. We kind of get
the first word on a Monday because we're on after midnight.
But man, we're getting real knee jerky in the NFL
more than I can ever remember. I mean, the the
Bears were a four and two football team right today.
They didn't play a great game. It's the NFL. The
team that wins the Super Bowl is probably gonna lose
five games, maybe four. But they're coming off a four

(38:24):
game winning streak. They lose today a couple of turnovers
that weren't really good involving Kayleb Williams had the one pick.
I think what he have fumbled too. But I mean,
just now, all of a sudden, so yeah, Kleb Williams sucks.
He's terrible.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
I mean we're praising him last week.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
It's like that finally figured it out, has a bad
game against Baltimore, and now all of a sudden on
the road to mind and I get a Baltimore's I mean,
they have the same guy that you had starting at
quarterback at the time the Dolphins last year. I had
to look it up. I'm like, is this the same
guy the second last year?

Speaker 2 (38:58):
No, he wasn't good. I mean, just that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
But I just I don't know, man, this the league's
always been a week to week league. But there's a
difference between having a bad game and bouncing back and
having a good one and then having a bad game
and everyone's probably just sucks.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
He's terrible.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
I mean, we get to do it because we're first up,
but I feel like there needs to be some common
sense in some of these takes. You know what's crazy.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
I know it's way too early to look at playoffs
standings or anything like that, but if you look at
the NFC, the seventh right team San Francisco eighth rank,
the Bears ninth, Carolina, Dallas ten, and in Atlanta eleven,
Minnesota twelve, all those teams lost seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
All took the l today and couldn't gain any ground.

(39:43):
When you look back at why.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
The Cowboys did you mention Dallas too, did you mention Dallas?

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Okay? Yeah, so six teams all took the loss and
they're all you know, they were the one spot behind
them making a playoff run. So I etly.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
But speaking of Dallas, a tip of the cap to
the Broncos, who have been quite the roller coaster ride
this year. They're six and two. Their only two losses
have been by a combined four points and one point
lost to Colts and then the field goal loss to
the Chargers. Now, granted, they've been probably in some games
that are tighter than they should be looking at you, Jets,
but man bo Nix look good today and he dropped

(40:18):
some dimes and they just they clowned the Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
It wasn't the same Denver team that we saw against
the Jets, now, was it? It was completely different? Oh?
Yeah it was. Hey, where did this team come from?
Where did they get this offense from? So? I agree
with you. I was completely dumbfounded about this one.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
And I will say, at least Jerry Jones now and
everyone's like, oh, the Cowboys just can't believe getting rid
of Michael Parkson's look at their defense. Jerry Jones, Like,
I don't think we're one player away on defense, and
he might be right. Okay, we're just really getting started.
So your tweets are coming up next, I promise that's
in Steak and Genius ar and he span your on
Chris Plank, Todd Furman, next hour right here on Fox,

(40:54):
all right, hour two, Todd Ferman coming up here in
just a bit.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
It's like a holiday for me. Well, today's like Arnie's revenge.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
Because you beat the Falcons.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
No, I mean, it's a lot more than that. Don't
be stupid one, because yes, because the Dolphins won, so
that that starts the revenge game. You know that a
week from a week from Monday, a week from Monday,
Arizona hoops will start to beat down that we're gonna
give Florida. So we'll get into that Arizona football. We

(41:30):
may Arizona football may not lose another game in the
rest of the year, and pretty much my knicks already
have become the number one seed in the Eastern Conference.
So I mean, it's like my revenge time, complete revenge
that all my teams were sorry and now it's starting
to turn around. All now I feel great.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
It's I mean, fairness, the Knicks aren't even the number
one seed right now.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
If the playoffs were to start.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Today, they lost to Miami today. Stop your boloney, I mean,
you're just lies. I thought we were gonna go eighty two,
and we were going to be eighty two and oh
come on now, thunder might be. Oh stop it might
be I mean, holy smoke. Remember when I thought that
he was just going to be an average player. No,
you didn't say he was gonna be average. You said

(42:16):
he was awful. Why do you remember all this stuff?
What is what? Are you an elephant?

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Well?

Speaker 3 (42:21):
I mean you say a lot of I say a
lot of stupid stuff too. I'm not trying to just
but you.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Say a lot of stupid stuff. That's because it's based
on what he did in the preseason.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
No, it was his first preseason game that he ever played,
and I think he had six points. And you're like,
why so you did the same thing with show Hag
in his first not minor league game.

Speaker 4 (42:39):
What am I saying?

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (42:41):
Spring training game that he played him? He was terrible too.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
So that was that. So I just wanted to go
ahead and throw that out here. It's like my revenge
and my buddy Ashley. I'll give his Ashley Sarge wanted
to come on our show today. He covers the New
Jersey Devils, so he you know, he was going to
the game. I go ask, you, do you not listen
to my show? We were a football show for the
most part. We don't do hockey. But the only reason

(43:06):
I was gonna have him on the show, Chris, is
because he owns an apartment complex in New York, right,
and he had it rented out to that. You know,
the thirty one that got arrested and indicted in the
gambling charges. One was a female and that's who he
had to place rented out too. Was to her and

(43:27):
he was telling me stories like she used to wear
like see through tops all the time. But after a
while she stopped paying her rent and the place was
just destroyed and she didn't clean it up and he
had to kick her out and throw her out, and
she was real nasty and obviously she wasn't winning a
lot of money, but she couldn't pay her rent for crid.
But I'm like, nah, it's okay, I should add him on.

(43:48):
But I'm like, yeah, that's okay. We don't want to
really hear that stuff.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Though, Why wouldn't we I mean, I don't think. I
think every single time we're like Heynnie, who do you
want to have on? This is literally what it sounds like.
I did a show with Brett Farv one time. I'm
what's his number? I don't know he might remember me.
Who was the other guy that was like the GM
of the Vikings or something. I didn't show Rick Spielman
one time. Call him, he might remember me.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Give him a call. Yeah, I remember James Worthy.

Speaker 4 (44:15):
I didn't show I should call him.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
I showed him he was worthy. I don't think he'd
remember it.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
But I did TV with Hey so a couple of
things in just real quick, because you did bring it up.
I will say on that story, I found it fascinating.
I was doing my local shows on the air when
it broke, and then the story ended up becoming absolutely
nothing like I thought it would be. I thought that
there was going to be point shaving involved in it.
I know the whole Terry Rose Your thing might have
some byproducts of it, but I sure didn't anticipate it

(44:43):
had something to do with with poker games.

Speaker 4 (44:45):
And I will also say that.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
I don't think i've ever seen anyone who's been accused
of doing something more dastardly who immediately everyone came out
to tell us how great of a guy Chauncey Phillips was.
I mean, listen, this guy was allegedly just milking people
out of millions with this exorbitant scheme and all and again,
I hope if anyone finds out that I'm in some

(45:10):
sort of poker scheme that people say all the nice
things they were saying about Chauncey.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
Oh, I know, Chauncey, he's a great guy.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
Oh so they had two way mirrors or they could cheat,
and they had cards set up the way they went,
and he'd sucker people. And he's like, yeah, a great guy.
I mean, he sounds amazing to me, Arnie, amazing, dude.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
That is just perplexing that people are sticking up for him.
I gotta tell you what. Usually, they you know, indict
you for something like this, and they come after you.
There's a lot of evidence. They don't just say, well,
let's just go ahead and pick him up and we'll
let the dust settles where it does and hopefully we're
right on this one. It doesn't work that way, you
know what. I mean, Chrizz so terrible. It's horrible that

(45:47):
he's in the situation, especially with all the money that
he made. I can't believe it got to this point
where he's working on it with Mafia and you know,
trying to trying to fix poker games, and it just
goes to show you, you know, Oh, did you see
the video of I don't remember his name. I'm sorry,
I don't remember his name. He's a big time poker
play Yeah, yep. And two years ago he put out

(46:10):
on Twitter a video where it said he was playing
in the game and after like an hour even less
than that, he said, you know what, this game isn't
right and got up and left and just said I'm
not playing anymore. And it turns out he was one
hundred percent. He had a feeling or he knew something
and it just it just didn't feel right to him.
And Gilbert Arena said the same thing. I wonder, what

(46:32):
is because Gilbert Arena's.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Been in dieted in this whole thing, or what. Chris Well,
remember he was the first guy that got arrested. All right, right,
they took him in and the joke was that, oh,
he's going to take everyone down because Gilbert, like every
other person on the planet, has podcast now. But the
professional poker play was Matthew BURKEI and he was on
a podcast called Only Friends, and it was back in
twenty twenty three, and it resurfaced this week where he

(46:57):
basically as soon as he sat down, I mean, you
laid it out, He's like, yeah, something's not right here.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
I'll see you guys later.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
I'm out. He knew the man, he knew right away.
So it'll be interesting to see what the fall it
is of that.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
I do tip my cap to Adam Silver because a
lot of times you'll see people in authority hide behind that.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Well, we'll let the investigation play out.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
But I did appreciate him finally saying something and be like, hey,
we're embarrassed by this.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Did you see the video who's the player that also
got Terry Rozier? Yeah? Did you see the video of
Rosier in the alleged game.

Speaker 4 (47:31):
Well that's been that's been around for years.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
I know, but they it resurfaced it it just looks
so bad. I mean literally, Chris I could have been
out there and thrown the ball straight up in the
air and my teammates would have like a fifty to
fifty chance of getting it. I could have thrown the
ball out of bounds, and it would have been better
than just throwing it away and let the other team
get a fast break bucket. I mean literally, I could
have just kicked the ball into the stands and then

(47:56):
we could have gotten back on defense. I could have
done a better job out there than Roser did the bat.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
I don't know about that, but I do know that
I'm very impressed with the FBI and their naming of
these investigations going after the illegal poker scheme was.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
Operation Royal Flush.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
Yes, yes, the.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
Details of the NBA player prop bet saga was Operation
Nothing Button Net.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
So again, well, people care, Chris du But are there
are the listeners right now? Do they really care?

Speaker 3 (48:25):
Well, everybody's got to talk about it for like four
days since it broke, so maybe not. But I this
is our first chance to get together. I know, I
dive into it.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
I just don't know. Again, like you said, it wasn't
like it was point shaving or anything like that. We're
talking about like a I'm gonna pull myself out of
the game, and I hopefully you guys bet the under
this is not like back in the old days. You know,
I've told this story before that there used to be
a clock keeper in Detroit that used to stock the
start the clock late and make the game a little

(48:54):
bit longer, and he would bet the overs and they
finally caught him. But that's that's you know, that's not
what we got going on here at all.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
You would think there would be more about that story,
by the way, a clock keeper that would purposefully, as
an employee of the NBA, Yeah, rig the clock so
the overs would hit.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
I don't making that up. No, I'm I'm pretty sure
I'm not making that up.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
I said some of these sweets of the show tonight.
I do agree that, mister Nobody, though one quick thought
on this. He says, the NBA gambling scandal truly sounds
like a bad episode of the Sopranos, one hundred percent right, John.
It would be so packers to lay an egg next
week and lose it Lambeau to the Panthers. I don't
know this, but does FSR p Arnie a bonus per

(49:38):
stupid thing said?

Speaker 4 (49:39):
If so, that would explain a lot, Well.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
I would, I know I don't get a bonus for that,
but which which is a stupid thing that I said.
What did I say stupid this time?

Speaker 3 (49:47):
I think everything that you've ever said about the Dolphins
and the emotional roller coaster you go on every single
week is probably up there, especially last week when you
wanted everyone fired and you're basically crying on the air,
And I said, you know, as soon as they win
a game, you're gonna be on here telling us to
go in to the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
No, no, no no.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
And then I didn't think, but I didn't think they
were going to dominate like this on the road against
Falcon that hasn't played.

Speaker 4 (50:11):
When was the last time Kirk Cousins started.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
A game against the Atlanta Falcons for crying out loud?
I mean, I didn't see this one coming. I thought
if we were gonna win, you know, we were gonna
barely get the victory. See like, this guy sent me
a tweet, but he didn't send it to you. Josh said,
pull the plug on already asap. This is why you
keep receipts on this guy? Wow, what do you you

(50:33):
keep her seats on this guy? What does that?

Speaker 3 (50:35):
When you say the keeping receipts is just remembering the
things that you say, because you say a lot of things,
and again I understand that.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
A lot of right too, but you don't keep her
seats on that. I keep receipts on all of them.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
You're when was the last thing that you've said about
the Dolphins that you've been right about?

Speaker 2 (50:52):
Oh, the season went over, my friend, and that's said,
we're half way through, let's go. Would you say? He
goes back and forth?

Speaker 4 (51:02):
Man's crazy that this is why.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
Honestly, there's a part of me that loves this, and
there's a party that can't stand it. Like there's a
party that just wants to during the commercial break, chug
like bleach and just end it all. This is a
good point from JV. Yeah, Well, the NFL MVP has
become a Best Quarterback re award for the past decade.
Jonathan Taylor's first eight games are historically great and should

(51:27):
place him as the MVP front runner through Week eight.
Midwest Indiana accent Arnie would be foolish not to agree.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Oh yeah, here, Rit Connor, right about that, Chris. Let
me tell you something usually and I heard it. I
think it was that brought this up, you give it,
or maybe it was somebody before him. But you give
it to the guy from the best team, and it
usually goes to the quarterback. I don't know if Mahomes
is going to get it, but if I was going
pretty good lastly, I know. But if I'm going to

(51:54):
give it to a non quarterback, and certainly would be
Jonathan Taylor leading the list right now or supposedly, since
the Colts are seven to one and on top of
the AFC, and you know, some people may say they're
the best team in football, you could make a case
and make a pretty decent argument for that, even though
they they've beaten teams that are real week but I
can you know you can make a case for them.

(52:15):
What is Jonathan Taylor now for MVP?

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Like the well, I don't know if this has been
I've got fan duel up right now, and that Patrick
Mahomes has the best odds at plus fifteen.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
I figured he was second. Maybe is Jonathan No, he's
like the ninth choice right now. Oh, get out of here.
That's some good odds. I plays two thousand. No, that
can't be right.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
I'm looking right after Jeff.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
It was Jeff Schwartz that said it, and Jeff Schwartz
only got six to one.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
He says, well, here's Jonathan Taylor plus two plus two thousand,
Baker Mayfield plus eighteen hundred, Jared Goff plus eighteen hundred.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
Again, these things could have adjusted after it too.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
They had, they had to have, because I mean, Schwartz
was talking about it this Swarting said he got plus
or not plus. He got six to one on Jonathan
not don't even know when he made the bet, so
it could have been earlier. But I would have figured
you've gotten better odds than that for Jonathan Taylor in
six to one to be the MVP.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
But I also think you're looking at a market that
doesn't really I don't think you see a lot of
action on it. I don't think there's a lot of
people that are betting on the MVP right now. I
mean no, I think.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
More people bet on the MVP at baseball than they
do it in football.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
But I don't know by the way I looked ahead here,
do you know what the spread is for that easy
when you guys have on Thursday night against the Ravens, what.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
Two seven and a half right now?

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Baltimore seven and a half point favorite.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
Yeah, it's according again, And like I said, I've got
FanDuel up.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
I'm sorry, sportsbook up. FanDuel, I'm sorry. I that's that
can't be correct. That's that's got to be a mistake.
Apologize to everybody.

Speaker 4 (53:50):
Well, I'm literally looking at it right now.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Seven and a half. Yeah, seven, you know what I'm
gonna I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to correct your work
right now in front of everybody. Let me look this
up right now. I will get right down. Baltimore minus
seven and a half. LJ. Arnie, the Dophs everything, I'm
betting everything, everything on the Dolphins. I I can't believe

(54:14):
this is There's gotta be a mistake. Somebody, somebody must
have hit the wrong button. Can we find out can
We'll have to ask Todd if there's a big mistake
in this line. There's got to be a big mistake
in this LJ.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
Wrights, Arnie. The Dolphins are dead. They have the Ravens,
Bills commanders in the first place. Patriots all losses. I
told you prior to the season. The Dolphins and the
Jets are fighting for third and fourth. The Patriots are
putting the league on notice. LJ did call that in
the preseason.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
By the way. Look, I give the Patriots credit, but uh,
you know, Buffaloes come back. I told you before the
season that this Buffalo team wasn't quite as impressive everybody
was making them out to be. And you told me,
You're like, what what do they know? What do you
know that nobody else knows? Well, now you start to
come around, Archer. They just they just won forty to

(55:02):
nine today. What in the hell are you talking about? Well, okay, today,
But I mean they haven't looked like the dominant team
that should win the Super Bowl this year.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
I mean it's they didn't look good against the Falcons,
whom I guess you could say, well, the Dolphins.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Did, yes, but it's true that you're not gonna say
aything about that, are you? But they they I think
they look okay. Man, By the way, while you're freaking
out of it, says Sneak, A genius. Weekly picks are
known to the FBI as Operation Never Get It Right.

Speaker 4 (55:31):
How are your picks today?

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Uh? College, I went five and three. Yeah, I went
five and three in college.

Speaker 4 (55:40):
You don't seem very confident about that.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
I was looking it up and I don't know where
I wrote it down. And then, uh, you.

Speaker 4 (55:45):
Put it on Twitter every single day.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Yeah, change five and three in college, and in the NFL,
I went two and five. So I didn't do very
good in the NFL. Uh.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
And then Colin Wrights here before we grab a break
and get toad for him. It in here with Mike
Vrabel erecting the Patriots. The season is quickly becoming super
bowler bus for Sean McDermott. The window might now be
closing unexpectedly sooner for the Bills. So see, Colin agrees
with you, he thinks, but it's also a matter of
urgency right to where you look at it and say,

(56:15):
all right, we gotta go. We got an older roster,
we gotta go and get this done now. Oh by
the way, Casey slide rings of a really funny point.
I gotta mention this. Why does Aaron Rodgers will wear
a helmet that requires its own solar system?

Speaker 4 (56:28):
The thing is huge? Do you see that thing tonight?

Speaker 2 (56:31):
It looks like the Great Kazoo from the foot Starts.
I get it.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
I get that one. Not many people will, but I
get that reference. I get that one too. When we
come back, Todd Furman will be in the house reminder
that during the baseball season the baseball postseason, Strauss became
a history maker. They're the first brand ever on the
MLB Helmets, Family owned since nineteen forty eight, Strauss makes
workwear built to perform, smart pocket design, real comfort and durability.

(56:55):
You can trust from grit to glory. Gear up today
at Strauss dot com. That's str Auss dot com. Todd
Furman's next on Fox Sports Radio, Let's go to Vegas
with Arnie Spaniel on Chris Plankey. Is Todd Furman the
best follow on the planet at Todd Furman on Twitter.

Speaker 4 (57:12):
All Right, good day for the favorites.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
Right, ten and two against the spread so far in
week eight, And according to a couple of different things
I've seen out there, Todd at the Chiefs cover on
Monday Night football would be the best winning percentage for
favorites in a single week in what forty years?

Speaker 9 (57:27):
Yeah, it's definitely not been a good weekend for the
house that is putting it mildly, not only our favorites covering.
You go up and down the board and you see
points of plenty, especially in any standalone games. So it's going
to be interesting to see when sportsbooks decide to share
some of the financials for what's transpired this weekend, but
can't imagine they'll be thrilled unless Washington and pull off
an outright upset tomorrow for the way this weekend has

(57:48):
unfolded thus far.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
You know, Todd Chris said the average margin to victory
was like eighteen points. Is there been anything bigger than that?
I mean that that's pretty high in one given week
right now.

Speaker 9 (57:58):
Definitely not competitive games for the most part this weekend.
I mean you look at the three games that took
place in the afternoon time slot. Tampa wins by twenty,
Indy by twenty four, in the Broncos by twenty, so
you didn't have anything close to the witching hour there.
And even in the early games, the only one that
really came down to the very end where the Jets
and Bengals with a thirty nine to thirty eighth final
and someone in probable fashion and I guess the Bears

(58:20):
and Ravens game. If the Bears are able to get
in from the one yard line, it makes things a
little bit more interesting if they have an opportunity for
an on side kick. But an uncharacteristically lopsided weekend by
NFL standards, and we'll see if this is kind of
the separation of the haves and have nots, or we'll
return to normalcy a little bit more next week.

Speaker 3 (58:36):
All right, Todd, I got a note. We were just
touching on it. I know you've been studying it. What
have you made of the NBA story this week, the
Terry Rosier, the Chauncey Billups.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
What's kind of been your perspective on it all.

Speaker 9 (58:47):
Where there's smoke, there's fire, And I'm not going to
sit here in in my ivory tower and say it's
going to be an isolated incident. When you're talking about
college and pro basketball, the two sports that are probably
the easiest for one individual to act and outcome, whether
it be of a player, prop or a different variety.
But at the same time, everyone that wants to cast
dispersions at the legalized sports betting space, it's completely missing

(59:09):
the messaging and the grand scheme of things. The reason
that this was figured out that you had these kind
of bad actors in and around the sport is because
money was moving through legalized, regulated sports books. If all
of this money is trading hands through corner book makers
or in the offshore world. You know, it's everyone's none
the wiser and the analogy. I usually broke this down
on CBS earlier in the week. Look, someone could tear

(59:31):
an ACL, but just because you don't go get an
MRI to confirm it's a torn ACL doesn't mean that
thing is in torn And that analogy applies, in my
opinion for sports betting. So it means that these structures
that are in place are doing their job. And you know,
the other problem that I have, quite candidly is as
we inched towards that November first deadline, where the NCAA
has said, you know what, we're okay with collegiate athletes

(59:52):
betting professional athletics. They are opening a Pandora's box. And gentlemen,
let me be the first to tell you the amount
of unintended consequences you're going to have for college athletes
betting professional sports, owing money to the wrong people that
have to turn to desperate measures to get those debts
repaid is something that I'm not sure anybody in the
NCAA office in Indianapolis has thought through. But this is

(01:00:12):
what kind of happens when you don't talk to betters
or have people in and around the space that can
make informed decisions.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Yeah, but Toad, they said that the reason we're catching
people now is because of legalized gambling, right, that it
was a good thing that we legalize it because we're
catching more people doing it. That's what he said.

Speaker 9 (01:00:27):
That is exactly what I said. I appreciate you further
in my case areny, but yes, that is exactly what
I said and why the infrastructure in place is working.
And I work for an ow FIT guys, you know
where we've provided reports to a lot of the major
conferences around the country for collegiate athletics, trying to study
the data look for regular betting patterns. There are safeguards

(01:00:48):
in place to try and prevent against the wholesale corruption
of sports. But when you look at three hundred and
sixty plus Division one college basketball programs, or you know,
the NBA with player props for guys that are eighth, ninth,
and hence on the respective roster, this kind of is
a scenario that you can see unfold. And while I
don't want to say it's something that's just going to

(01:01:08):
impact you know, basketball at various levels, the reality of
it is certain sports are much more easily impacted with
this kind of bad actor stuff than anything else. That
being said, the fact that the Baltimore Ravens didn't understand
what they were doing this week just leaves me scratching
my head. Guys, and again, I don't want to make
light of this. This is the same thing as if
your buddy makes a poor choice and gets grounded on

(01:01:29):
Wednesday when we're teenagers. You go out and you make
the exact same poor choice on Friday and expect different consequences.
But if the leagues and conferences, the Players Association, all
parties involved don't want to adhere to the rules and
regulations that are in place, there's no law abiding organization
that's going to be able to sort this out from.

Speaker 3 (01:01:47):
Top to bottom, all right, So Todd with that in mind,
I'm just saying, you know, curious, we're now shifting into
a time where, like you said, there is a lot
more I don't know if the term would be structure, right,
there's more checks and balances.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
I can't agree with you more.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
The idea that we're saying, all right, not just players,
but coaches can now bet on NFL games or NBA
games if they won.

Speaker 4 (01:02:11):
I'm with you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
I feel like there's a ton of unintended consequences coming
on this front.

Speaker 9 (01:02:16):
Oh one hundred percent, and the fact that people don't
seem to think that there's anything that's going to come
from it, and they're operating under the mindset that, oh, well,
you know what, if you're of legal age, you should
be able to do this. Guys, I'll speak firsthand. I
mean I was a collegiate athlete, albeit not at the
Division IE level, never had the chance to wager on
a game that my team or classmates took partook in.

(01:02:37):
But I was betting games through offshore books when you know,
in the early two thousands before any of this was
a big deal. And I can tell you that if
I wasn't responsible with my wagering, I would have panicked
and look for a way to try and remove some
of my gambling debts from the equation. So the situation
that's potentially going to unfold, I can see it already.
A kid loses a couple hundred bucks, it's a small amount.

(01:02:58):
Somebody asked them, hey, look, is a starting quarterback going
to be available this weekend? He says no, it doesn't
think anything of it. Suddenly you're in for a penny,
you're in for a pound, and you're not getting yourself
out of that situation. Is the wrong. People continue to
knock on the door and look for the kind of
information they can use the profit from.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
I didn't think that the Lamar Jackson story was that
big of a deal. I thought people were getting a
little crazy over that.

Speaker 9 (01:03:20):
Todd, It's the exact same thing, Arnie. It's why is
that any different than what Damon Jones did telling people
that hey, Lebron James isn't going to be available and
allowing them to bet games before it impacts the betting market.
The Baltimore Ravens have a partnership with a regulated sportsbook.
If they knew that Lamar Jackson wasn't taking reps with
the one, but still listed him as a limited participant,
they knew full well that Lamar's odds of playing were

(01:03:42):
going to be slimmed to none. What you saw on
Friday when that information became widely available, the sportsbooks moved
the number from six and a half to seven and
it wasn't until Saturday morning word gets out that oh wait, no,
it's inaccurate reporting. And at the same time, the thing
that leaves me scratching my head in regards to that.
The Bears that already left Chicago, they had put their
game plan in. They weren't going to change anything. And

(01:04:04):
if the Ravens in the NFL can't understand what they
did wrong in that situation, we have bigger problems with
legalized sports betting more and more widely available now than
ever before.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
You know, one more thing, because I tell this story
to Chris and he's like, do you know if this
story is true? I said, I don't even know if
it's true. Off to ask Todd, wasn't there a clock
keeper for Detroit in the NBA that used to start
the clock late, like ya half a second and drag
games out so the games would go over in the NBA?
Caught him? Or what?

Speaker 9 (01:04:34):
I mean? There are all sorts of stories about it.
I mean, look, if you're really interested in kind of
digging into what went on with Tim donahe in that
situation probably the last quote unquote big match fixing scandal
allegedly around the NBA. There are a lot of great books,
and there are always going to be ways that you
can potentially manipulate seemingly inocu with outcomes and a lot
of these games. But I mean, these are things that

(01:04:56):
you constantly are paying attention to, and you have to
be hyper vigilant about Hull. All of these issues unfold.
But let's not sugarcoat it. At the same time, guys,
college coaches know exactly what the numbers are. I mean,
we've seen how Jonathan Smith and Michigan State has elected
to operate in the final minute of each of their
last two games, kicking a field goal against Indiana to
get inside the number against Kirk Signetti, and operating with

(01:05:17):
ruthless efficiency trailing thirty one to thirteen against Michigan, stopping
the clock and making sure they can get that two
minute offense going that just so happened to allow them
to get in the back to wor against the Wolverines.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
All right, by the way, wait, wait, what a couple
of mistakes now, Dolphins, it should be a seven to
that point favorite, not underdog. I don't know who made
that mistake. And it's almost college basketball season. My Arizona
Wildcats against Florida, we're going to kick their backside man
looking to get as kicking they never dreamt of. And
we're four point dog on this one.

Speaker 9 (01:05:48):
Todd, Yeah, college basketball starts being relevant for me, guys
when conference tournaments kick off and early. If you're gonna
ask me about depth charts and if I've studied any
of the numbers for some of these non conference games,
holiday tournaments that are rapidly approaching, you're probably going to
have to go any slightly different direction, My good man.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
Can I ask about Brian Kelly?

Speaker 3 (01:06:07):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
Areny go ahead? I'm sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
I'm you're shocked by that at all that it was
now and they're letting Frank Wilson take over A a little
blown away that they went ahead and pulled the plug
on him.

Speaker 9 (01:06:17):
I think this is just the way of the world
in terms of what these programs are doing. Ripped the
band aid off now, if they don't think they're going
to keep any of these head coaches around going forward,
and it sounds foolish to say, but you almost wonder
if they don't want any of these head coaches to
build momentum and end up coming into the following season
as a lame duck. I mean, if Brian Kelly upsets Alabama,
suddenly the storylines in the buzz change around him, and

(01:06:39):
people believe that he can get the program headed in
the right direction. And Florida became a cautionary tale last year.
I mean, Billy Napier got hot in the latter portion
of the schedule. They gave him an extra year. He
didn't get the result on field this season, and here
we are. The one thing though, that I will say
about the coaching carousel and the need for these schools
to spend all this money on guaranteed contracts. You might

(01:06:59):
want to try and rethink some of this, or going
a slightly different direction than bringing in head coaches that
we've seen can only get you so far, and maybe
look in the direction of very talented offensive or maybe
even defensive coordinators in the modern era of college football.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
Great stuff, Todd. We'll talk to again next Sunday.

Speaker 9 (01:07:14):
Have a great week, buddy, always a puny and gentlemen,
have a great.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Week thanks to Todd Furman.

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
Here is Steve de Seger with what's trending in the
world of sports? Because everything I think so I didn't
check the NBA. Everything's the final. Now everything is final
in the NBA. But the late hockey game in Canada
is three to three with three minutes left in regulation.
Oilers at Canucks, and we did have overtime wins for
Tampa Bay, San Jose, New Jerseys eight and one this year.

(01:07:40):
The Utah Mammoth people eight and two so far this year.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
Let's go.

Speaker 8 (01:07:44):
They wanted Winnipeg three too.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
That's my team. You know.

Speaker 8 (01:07:47):
Well, there's a kiss of death.

Speaker 6 (01:07:48):
Even a new franchise can't take the load of a
fandom from Marty spander LSU fired football coach Brian Kelly.
He's owed over fifty million dollars, subject to offset if
he takes another job. Issue has a buy this coming weekend,
then plays at Atlanta. The top six stay the same
in the new College football polls, led by number one
Ohio State. Oklahoma's down to number eighteen Missouri number nineteen.

(01:08:11):
LSU is not ranked. Vanderbilt is number nine in the country,
its highest ranking in the AP poll since nineteen thirty seven.
Wow New into the top twenty five. Houston ranked twenty second.
A lot of Big twelve teams this week number two
number that's right, Arizonia is not one of them. Number
twenty three, USC number twenty four, Utah at number twenty five. Memphis,

(01:08:32):
which had a good Day yesterday, with the Lake comeback
this Saturday on Fox TV. Number one Ohio State host
Penn State at noon Eastern time. The first college football
Playoff rankings come out in just over a week. Selection
Sunday is December seventh. It's already going to be November
next weekend. Green Bay won at Pittsburgh in the NFL
Sunday Night game thirty five twenty five. Jordan Love three

(01:08:54):
touchdown passes, three hundred and sixty yards, bo Nix with
four TV passes in Denver's home winner over Dallas forty
four to twenty four. Denvers won five straight. The Colts
are seven and one after ripping Tennessee thirty eight fourteen.
Daniel Jones three TD passes. Tampa Bay six and two
now after winning at lowly New Orleans twenty three to three.
Saints committed four turnovers. They're one in seven. New Orleans

(01:09:18):
came in averaging only eighteen points, a game that was
worse in the NFC. They didn't even have a touchdown
today three points total, and as we mentioned earlier, Spencer
Rattler is a starting quarterback in the pros. Is now
one and thirteen. The World Series continues Monday night Toronto
at the Dodgers series tied at a game apiece. All
the games started about eight pm Eastern Time on Fox

(01:09:38):
TV Monday Tuesday Wednesday, They'll be in LA and the
Blue Jays had taken Game one at home that game
that was tied to two in the sixth and then
the Dodger starter left and it was eleven two by
the end of the six.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
No World Series games on a Sunday. How crazy is that?
That is the modern reality. And I think that's a
good move. Actually, if we get to a game six
and seven back in Toronto, that would be what Friday
and Saturday and ended before Sunday. Dodgers took Game two Saturday,
by the way, five to one in a game that
was one to one in the seventh the wind Yoshinobu

(01:10:11):
Yamamoto a complete game, four hitter, eight strikeouts, no walks.
Last night he retired the last twenty batters in a row,
by the way.

Speaker 6 (01:10:18):
Reportedly, Toronto infielder Bobashet, who pinch hit Saturday, we'll be
back playing second base tomorrow after the spring need. He'd
been out since early September. He was playing second not
short step for the first time since the Miners in
Game one. This is one of the rare three hundred
hitters in baseball this year. He batted three eleven with
ninety four RBIs not as good as Dante did.

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
Get that? Yeah, God, you have to explain everything.

Speaker 8 (01:10:45):
We should play field.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
Come on, what is wrong?

Speaker 6 (01:10:48):
By the way, updating this postseason, any playoff game this
month teams that out homer their opponent record of twenty
six and five. The Orioles new manager will reportedly be
Cleveland assistant Craig Albernez. In the NBA Late Game, Lakers
won at Sacramento one twenty seven to one twenty Austin
Reeves of LA fifty one points. He had eleven rebounds,

(01:11:12):
nine assists, two turnovers as well. Ap says the last
Lakers players with those stats in one game was Elgin
Baylor in nineteen sixty three against the Celtics. Luka Doncic
out for LA for at least a week with a
sprain left finger and a bruce leg Lebron James, of course,
still out with a bad back. Seems like at least
two to three more weeks he'll be out Clippers in

(01:11:34):
Dallas each one at Home, Minnesota did as well, but
Anthony Edwards left early with hamstring tightness for the Timberwolves,
and William Byron won the NASCAR race at Martinsville. Ryan
Blaney finished second. Byron led over three hundred laps. The
championship is next Sunday at Phoenix. In the finale, Larson
and Byron representing Hendrick Motorsports against Joe Gibbs Racing drivers

(01:11:56):
Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe. Byron's victory to I must
win situation win He's in. He knocked the seventh place finisher,
Christopher Bell out of the championship race. Bell came into
Martinsville today above the elimination line in points and one
point ahead of Kyle Larson, but Larson finished fifth. He
outscored Bell today. He claims the final championship four Birth

(01:12:18):
by seven points. Also eliminated today the third place finisher
Chase Elliott, and eliminated was Raining series champ Joey Logano.

Speaker 8 (01:12:25):
He finished eighth.

Speaker 4 (01:12:26):
Back to you, it's great race.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
You know why I watched it because the NFL stumped.

Speaker 8 (01:12:30):
Did we not say this last Sunday night?

Speaker 6 (01:12:32):
Looking at today's schedule is unless you consider Denver Dallas
a great game.

Speaker 8 (01:12:36):
I don't see many great games on the schedule.

Speaker 4 (01:12:39):
I think you're right, Yeah, I think you're right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:41):
I think that's exactly what we looked at for this
week now. In fairness, In fairness, if you're looking ahead
the next week and you ignore that Raiders Jaguars game,
there's a few intriguing matchups. I mean, Arnie's got the
Dolphins going to the super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (01:12:56):
Well you have that.

Speaker 6 (01:12:57):
Wow, Chiefs Bills is next week, right, But aside from that,
it's not some sort of long list of I mean,
we've got the Dolphins Ravens for you.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Prime Now. I think I can sell you on Seahawks
Commanders if if Jane Daniels is back, I think maybe
a soft cell on Broncos, Texans or Colt Steelers.

Speaker 6 (01:13:16):
By the way, Jade Daniels do to be out for
the Monday night game Washington at Kansas City tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
How about are you telling me you're not excited about
Chargers Titans? Steve? What's wrong with did you see the
Tos today?

Speaker 4 (01:13:27):
I did the Raiders?

Speaker 6 (01:13:29):
Did you see the real Chargers show up? Once Joe
Old returned at the get.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
Listen to Colin coward man, they're gonna win the super
Bowl now, but if you look ahead to week ten, Now,
week ten's got some games, because I mean that's Bill's Dolphins.
By that point, you guys are gonna be what three
and six, so you're gonna be great?

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Uh yeah, three and six, that's right, Patriots Buccaneers. Is
that weekend?

Speaker 3 (01:13:53):
Rams, Niners, Steelers, Chargers, Eagles, Packers.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
On money not football, So we get some good ones
coming up.

Speaker 4 (01:13:59):
But this was a move.

Speaker 8 (01:14:00):
This was about Steelers Chargers. That's the Sunday night game in.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
A couple of weeks. Are you not going to be here?

Speaker 8 (01:14:04):
I am not due.

Speaker 4 (01:14:05):
Did you ask Arney for your game?

Speaker 6 (01:14:09):
I've not once in my life even wos you ever
crossed my mind to ask Garney about anything?

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
When you want this off? When are you asking off?

Speaker 8 (01:14:18):
December thirty second? Can I have that day off?

Speaker 6 (01:14:22):
We are getting back to Europe games by the way,
next month we're getting close to November and Dolphins have.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
One of those.

Speaker 6 (01:14:28):
But there's a game in Berlin in a couple of
weeks with Colts and Falcons, and then the next week
mid November Dolphins Washington in Madrid.

Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
Yeah, I didn't know if there was a game this morning,
I'm like, this is there game? I'm missing a game
right now. I don't know if it's like it's like,
what are we doing?

Speaker 6 (01:14:46):
You could just rewatch the second half of LSU's home
game last night for entertainment.

Speaker 1 (01:14:51):
Jeez.

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
True, there was nobody left by.

Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
The end of the da not a soul left.

Speaker 6 (01:14:55):
I think even the players were not left on the field.

Speaker 4 (01:14:57):
They were they were done.

Speaker 3 (01:14:58):
All right, Listen, we gotta get a break and when
we come back to the segment will get you caught
up on all the odds and in. These tweets have
been great tonight. We'll kick off Hour three with them
as well, So keep them coming. At Steak Ingenius one,
I'm at Plank Show. Everyone go follow us right here
at Fox Sports Radio. All right, it's Onny in Plank,
come to you live at the Fox Sports Radio studios.
We got a lot still to get to, including what

(01:15:21):
we learned after not only not only the college games
yesterday wee canned the college football season and of course
the big news of the night Brian Kelly getting fired.
But what we learned after Week eight of the NFL season,
we got Steve de Seger with the segment what you got, Steve, Well.

Speaker 6 (01:15:37):
We'll start with the Packers. Well, actually everything is final now.
NHL Vancouver won in overtime against Edmonton, but the Sunday
night NFL game went to Green Bay at Pittsburgh thirty five,
twenty five. This was the night for Jordan Love and
all of this hasn't happened in one game in NFL history.
To throw for three hundred and fifty yards and three
touchdowns and not take a sack, and have no turnovers

(01:16:00):
and do what Love did tonight was complete twenty straight.

Speaker 2 (01:16:04):
Passes at one. Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:16:06):
This was a unique evening in NFL history. There was
an oddity as Buffalo blew out Carolina today forty to
nine was the final, and James Cook starred just in
the first half. Cook had one hundred and fifty three
yards rushing, most by any player in the league in
a first half since his brother Dalvin Cook had exactly
one fifty.

Speaker 8 (01:16:25):
Three year four years ago.

Speaker 6 (01:16:28):
Associated Press is updated a couple of stats that we
referenced earlier about this blowout weekend in the NFL. The
current average margin of when is eighteen points. This weekend
in the NFL, it's only happened three times since the
merger in nineteen seventy that you had an NFL week
where it was average margin of victory was twenty or more.

(01:16:51):
We are getting close to that with one game to go,
Kansas City hosting Washington tomorrow night. And there has, believe
it or not, only been one game this weekend in
the NFL decided by single digits, and that was the
Jets comeback. Everything else was Denver wins by twenty, Tampa
Bay wins by twenty, and so forth. Turns out the
last time the NFL had only one game in a

(01:17:13):
week decided by single digits, it was late in the
nineteen seventy season. Wow, so many Sunday nights we come
on are and mention how many games were close in
the fourth quarter or how many decided in the last
two Not this weekend. And you've got the Cowboys defense
to blame for some of that, because while they're averaging
thirty points a game, they're giving up thirty points a game.

(01:17:36):
Nobody's had that for a full season since nineteen fifty
in the NFL. That's kind of how historically bad that
have for tallus. It's going, Wow, they were actually averaging
thirty two points a game on offense. Coming in, I
had the number one offense offense overall in yardage almost
four hundred yards a game. But the defense, my goodness. R. J.
Harvey had three touchdowns bo next through for four tds

(01:17:59):
Denver four twenty four to twenty four over the Cowboys.
Broncos had six touchdowns in this game, and Denver has
beaten Dallas head to head eight straight times since the
nineteen nineties. The Colts are seven and one, should be
undefeated if maybe you know one of their players would
hold onto the ball crossing the goal line thirty eight
to fourteen was their home final against Tennessee today, So

(01:18:20):
through their first eight games total, they're the only team
in the Super Bowl era that at this point of
a season has allowed fewer than ten sacks and had
fewer than five turnovers. The offense has also just been
been great overall. And they tried to tell you it's
I'm not sure about that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
I did, I said Daniel Jones. But nobody loses.

Speaker 6 (01:18:40):
No, I'm talking about the offense as a whole. They've
got an MVP candidate running back as well. But the Colts,
this is their best start as a franchise since two
thousand and nine. Keep the owner on the sidelines. I
guess New England has won five in a row. Broncos
have won five straight. You know, Broncers were best at
sacks last year in the NFL. They're leading the league
in sacks this year and Denver has allowed a league

(01:19:02):
low eight sex so far. It's the first time in
league history at this point of a season there's been
that huge a margin by how many sacks you get
and how few you allowed. That's what Denver is doing.
As I mentioned on last night's show, it's the defense
alone makes the Denver Broncos a playoff contender this year.
And you had teams with nearly no victories getting wins

(01:19:23):
like Miami and the Jets, and the Baltimore Ravens, who
had lost four in a row and without Lamar Jackson
beat Chicago thirty to sixteen Derrick Henry two short touchdown runs.
Jackson was out again with the bad hamstring. In the
first quarter. Baltimore had three plays only eight yards, and
yet they finished with over three hundred and fifty yards
in the game. The Ravens defense was allowing thirty two

(01:19:45):
points a game worst in the NFL. Chicago finished with
only half that, losing thirty to sixteen. Breise Hall starred
for the Jets in that comeback, two touchdowns on the
ground over one hundred yards rushing the go ahead TD
pass in the final two minutes.

Speaker 8 (01:20:01):
Very rare that.

Speaker 6 (01:20:02):
Somebody who's not a quarterback gets a TV pass that's
the game winner in the last two minutes. Apparently Curtis Martin,
for one, had done that. But I mean, Daniel Jones,
you do have to come back to him. I don't
want to talk Colts without talking Daniel Jones. Three more
touchdown passes, a great passer rating. He's joining a list
of quarterbacks to have at least one hundred passer rating

(01:20:24):
in each of their first five home starts with a team.
It's been a great start for him and for them.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Great stuff, Steve, that's Steve de Segar.

Speaker 3 (01:20:31):
When we come back, it's time to figure out what
we learned after the week that was in the National
Football League, because I guess we've learned tonight that the Dolphins,
because they won a game, are going to the Super Bowl.
Let's go going for us, but we'll get your tweets
as well. So keep them coming. That's stinking genius one.
I'm at Plank Show. Everyone follow us at Fox Sports Radio.

(01:20:52):
All right, here we go, steak a genius.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
That's our hours. Let's go.

Speaker 3 (01:20:56):
I hear you yell at everyone before the hour starts
to be safe out there.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
I try to get everybody all pumped up.

Speaker 3 (01:21:02):
But you know, I may have to try to get
everyone all pumped up to act like you don't know
who they are.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
That's what you do. You guys have been out of
it today. I may have to bring in like Tommy
DeVito to you know, finish out the show for you
or something.

Speaker 4 (01:21:14):
We have been.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
You started the show saying that you think the Dolphins
can still win eleven games, and I don't think you
got what eleven games left in the year. Well they
could know. I said they could be eleven and six, right,
So you're telling us we're out of it. Why is
that out of it to say they could be eleven
and six. They got the easiest schedule out there.

Speaker 4 (01:21:32):
If they don't have the easiest to schedule out there.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
They do, actually, but thank you for the no.

Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
No, okay, then where's your proof on it? But in
your common sense proof you don't have the easiest common sense.
Yeah no, there's your common sense stinks out of your
common sense. Your com confidence had your coach getting fired
last week and two and needs to be cut, and
the week before that and the week before that. Now,
like we said, they win one game and suddenly they're

(01:22:00):
an unstoppable, immovable force.

Speaker 2 (01:22:02):
Common sense tells you to take the Dolphins. The common sense,
I say, seven and a half, who is that guy
talking exactly?

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
Let's let's try to get everyone fired up, and then
so we can act like we don't know who they are.

Speaker 4 (01:22:13):
You're so predictable.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
Let me guess next week you're gonna tell everyone that
the new and exciting show is going to kick off
at ten Pitton Center if the Dolphins.

Speaker 2 (01:22:21):
When the Dolphins beat Baltimore, I want an apology when
they go to three and six on their way to
make it apologize seeing okay and make you feel better.
And then wait till, wait till college basketball gets gold
and my Wildcats beat the crap out of Florida's playing.
Don't get though, if you lose, don't worry about what

(01:22:42):
you get. I don't lose. I rarely lose. You lose
all the time. There is.

Speaker 3 (01:22:47):
There is nobody on the planet that claims more victories
they don't have.

Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
Than Arnie space Ouch. And what do you mean nobody
cares about the Arizona Florida game? Of course they do.

Speaker 4 (01:22:58):
I mean, doctor, we're college basketball, Like, what do you know?

Speaker 2 (01:23:01):
But that's all I got. It's Arnie's revenge to it
starts that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:04):
We can complain about Week eight of the NFL all
we want, but an infinite number of people will be
more tuned.

Speaker 4 (01:23:10):
Into that than they will October college basket.

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
What about the next two? Are you not watching NBA
for October?

Speaker 4 (01:23:16):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:23:16):
Yeah, I'm watching every game of it. And my Dodgers
in the World Series.

Speaker 4 (01:23:20):
They're not your Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
Close to them, they know they're not. You claim the meds.

Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
I have resorted once. So okay, let's move on, shall we?
After Week eight of the NFL season.

Speaker 4 (01:23:33):
I know this.

Speaker 3 (01:23:34):
We kick off the final hour of the show with
it every single Sunday night during the NFL season. Then
we carry it over a little bit to baseball, a
little bit to the NBA, a little bit of college
basketball as well. But we're in football season. Even though
Arnie tries to steer us to everything but football. So
after Week eight of the NFL season, I know this. Uh,
since you're the star of the show, where do you

(01:23:55):
want to start? Well, let me start with this.

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
And we brought this up earlier in the show, and
I think it's pretty irrelevant now even though they've had
an easy schedule. After Week eight, I know this, the
Indianapolis Colts are the best team in the AFC. Look,
the Patriots have had a good year Pittsburgh with that
loss to say, they don't scare me in the build.
Like I told you before the year that they were

(01:24:19):
gonna have some troubles. That's exactly what's going on. Kansas
City's four and three. So right now, the best team
in the AFC happens to be the Indianapolis Colts. And
I don't even think I needed to see today's game
to go ed and and prove that they were the
best team in the AFC.

Speaker 3 (01:24:33):
I don't know how to tell you all this, but
the best team in the AFC is still the Kansas
City Chiefs, and that they're four and three or not.
But but they they now got Rashi Rice back. They
now are starting to get a little bit more comfortable
on their offensive line.

Speaker 4 (01:24:49):
Their problem, and you know their problem, and everyone knows their.

Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
Probably I know they're a problem, but that doesn't mean
I wouldn't take the Colts against Kansas City if they're
playing You're If the Colts were playing Kansas City in
Arrowhead next Sunday, why you gotta be an Arrowhead? Why
does everything?

Speaker 3 (01:25:04):
If the Colts were playing Indianapolis in Indy, what with
his spread.

Speaker 2 (01:25:10):
It would be Kansas City minus right, so they'd still
be the favorite. What are you telling me? They'd be
minus two or three? That's right?

Speaker 3 (01:25:18):
So I think everyone's got a whoe up just a bit.
And this doesn't mean Roger the engineer can start texting
into the show or anything, but it's just there's still
the stinking Chiefs man.

Speaker 4 (01:25:27):
I'll say this, after Week eight of.

Speaker 3 (01:25:29):
The NFL season, there's a lot of teams that still
have quarterback questions. And it's kind of shocking, especially whenever
you've seen teams. The Jets won today, right, and Justin
Field's played great, but as soon as they lose again,
quarterback question. You're in love with Tuam right now? You
hated him last week? Still a quarterback question. I don't
know what's going on.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
In Cleveland.

Speaker 3 (01:25:50):
I have no idea shad Or Sanders was inactive. I
don't know if he's a part of their future or not.
Quarterback question. We could go up and down the NFC
with this as well to injuries to Kyler Murray in
Arizona's on a bye week this week, so I guess
we won't find out exactly what it looks.

Speaker 4 (01:26:05):
Like for him.

Speaker 3 (01:26:05):
But I mean, at New Orleans decided to make a
movid quarterback. I didn't even realize that there was an
injury for the Atlanta Falcons. I know Pinnicks was deemed
up as well too. We know what Bryce Young has
been going through as well. I just feel like the
court and now everyone thinks that JJ McCarthy's going to
come in and save the Vikings win.

Speaker 2 (01:26:23):
Guy, he kind of sucks.

Speaker 3 (01:26:25):
So I mean, we're that's eight teams, nine teams right
there that we just mentioned Arnie with a quarterback position.
It's still very much up in the air, some by injuries,
but most of them just by ineffective play.

Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
Right now, right right, and the injuries are mounting up.
Matter of fact, that's where I wanted to bring up
next after Week eight. I know this and they've had
two grousome injuries so far, one early in the year,
one today. And I'm talking about the New York Giants.
I know this that, even though it's after eight weeks now,
I want to go ahead and place a bet on
the Giants to win the division next year again. Yeah,

(01:27:00):
because getting back healthy. You know, Jackson Dart have this
first year under his belt. I am so pro Giants
right now. It's disgusting. It's so bad and so terrible.
That's gotta bad to go ahead and get hurt like that.
I hope it's not anything more serious than we anticipate that.

(01:27:20):
That looked good?

Speaker 7 (01:27:21):
Did you?

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
Did you look at it more than once? Chris or No?
I turned it. I couldn't watch it a second time.
I saw a bad angle of it because it was
like somebody was the angle of somebody in the way
and I and I got a quick glimpse of the
you know, the foot turned sideways, and I didn't want
to see it anymore after that, I meaning, I couldn't

(01:27:42):
do it after that. It was just killing me.

Speaker 3 (01:27:43):
It was hard, it was gross, it was grotesque. And
I will add, dude's going to be back, and I
think that I'm with you. I think the Giants are
going to be a fun team. Now here's the question
that you have to ask yourself you start thinking about
this year, is I hate to do this in week
what do we on eight?

Speaker 2 (01:28:01):
Eight? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:28:01):
I hate to do this in week eight? But you
are looking at an NFL draft. It's got a couple
of really strong offensive lineman potentially, oh really in Kane Proctor,
in Spencer Fanou don't forget about the myoga.

Speaker 2 (01:28:19):
My I guess I'm my top picks if I haven't.

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
Well, no, my, Well there's a lot of quarterbacks on
here too, but that's been changing like crazy, and Caleb
Downs might be a generational talent at safety. But I'm
just tinking about the Giants, like you know, you know,
an offensive lineman. It's not gonna go one, two or
three in the draft, right, It's gonna be quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
I don't know. You've got your quarterback? Eh, you really
have to go out and try to go crazy one
of these games. You've lost your running back, you've lost
your star wide receiver. You want to you want to
keep putting Jackson Dart.

Speaker 3 (01:28:49):
I listen, I'm not trying to say you pun on
the season, cause your coach can't afford that right now.

Speaker 2 (01:28:54):
But are they really going anywhere now with all the injury?
Probably they're No, they're not. But he's got to learn,
and now's a good time to learn. And I mean,
it's not like you're going to bench him the rest
of the year. And I know I feel bad for
him though, but he's not gonna have any weapons around them,
or you know, they lost two great weapons in what
he had it. Really, I wonder if this is going

(01:29:16):
to save his coaching job or does this put the
fight on nail on the coffin and they're not going
to win, so he's going to get fired at the
end of the year, or is he going to use
the excuse of the injuries and a new quarterback. I'm
really curious to say I was going to work out for.

Speaker 3 (01:29:31):
Him, all right, I'm gonna jump to the college side
of this really quick.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29:36):
After Week eight of the NFL season, in Week nine
of the college football season, I know this Steve Sarkesian,
he huffed and he puffed, but he didn't really say
that he's not going anywhere. And I you know, I'm
old enough to have you heard the rant yet from Sark.

Speaker 4 (01:29:57):
Have you heard his little posts.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
I haven't heard the ramp. I heard a fuddy okay,
a funding line said sure he wants to go. He
stuck with arch manning for right exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:30:07):
Listen, here was Here was Sark when he was asked
about Diana Rossini's report.

Speaker 10 (01:30:11):
It really pisses me off that one person can make
a report that, in turn, the entire media sports world
runs with as factual. To the point of my agency
and my agents have to put a statement out that
they never have done historically, Cia, Jimmy Sexton and ed Mannowitz.

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
Have never do that.

Speaker 10 (01:30:36):
But I had to do that to protect my locker
room and my team, and I thought it was absolutely ridiculous.
I thought it was completely unprofessional of that person to
put that report out, and the fact that everybody ran
with it is borderline embarrassing for the media. And I
respect what you guys do, I really do and everybody else,
but the fact that everybody ran.

Speaker 8 (01:30:55):
That as truth is really embarrassing.

Speaker 10 (01:30:57):
Okay, So I've got a small circle when I make
this on what I do and what I don't do,
and nobody would speak on my behalf without me knowing
and so where that report came from, I'd love to
talk to that person because it's absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (01:31:11):
Never heard in there. I'm staying in Texas and I'm
not going anywhere, do you.

Speaker 2 (01:31:14):
No, No, never heard that. Diana Rassini's she's getting ripped
not only because of the report, though, Chris was getting
ripped because it was she put it in the article. Yeah,
she put it in the article that she wrote about
sark even though it wasn't part of the articles. I went,
she just getting ripped about it. Do I understand that correctly?

(01:31:34):
Or what?

Speaker 3 (01:31:35):
I don't care about the article. I just saw the tweet,
so right right, I'm living here life.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
Which is a lot of which is a lot of
people said they they didn't really care about it. There
was a lot of people ripping her because she put
that into the tweet, into the article that she wrote,
or she combined them, even though the articles she wrote
had really nothing to do with Sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:31:54):
Well, I didn't even see the article.

Speaker 3 (01:31:55):
I just saw a tweet that said out told representatives
for Texas coach Steve Sarkies and have let NFL decision
makers know that he would be interested in potential head
coaching openings, including the Titans.

Speaker 2 (01:32:06):
That's all I saw, right, right right, and I actually
believe it. Why wouldn't you be interested if you wanted
to go ahead and move on. And I think he
might want to go ahead and explore options. I think
there's nothing wrong with that, So I could understand why
he was upset that I got leaked out, though.

Speaker 3 (01:32:23):
Well I would be upset if it got leaked out.
But I will say this much. Number one, the Titans job,
not just saying this to suck up to Shady Sean.
It's a good job. They're gonna have a new stadium
that is a hop in town. Nashville is a place
people want to be, right and I listen. I know

(01:32:44):
Mary Mack is very down on cam Ward today, but
I still like cam Ward a lot. I think he's
going to be a good quarterback. And if you're one
start and you get that guy and the resources they
might have with the Titans.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
Knowing this, he's coached in the NFL before.

Speaker 3 (01:33:00):
I mean, as the story goes, Al Davis when he
hired Lane Kiffin wanted to hire Sark, and thank god
he didn't, because Sark had a few issues around that
time in his life. But Sark said, no, you need
to hire this guy, and Al Davis hired Lane Kiffin.
He's he's got a pool man. But I'll tell you what,
and I say this and it pains me as an

(01:33:20):
Oklahoma guy. He's really got a cooking at Texas. I
know that they're considered a disappointment this year with two losses.

Speaker 2 (01:33:27):
Don't you get paid more to be head coach in
Texas anyway? Or no? Probably? Probably, but you know it's
it's all now.

Speaker 3 (01:33:34):
NFL teams are making it a bigger deal to go
get coaches if they want him, right, I mean, do
you get a golden perish?

Speaker 2 (01:33:40):
Really good? You get a golden parachute if you get
fired like you do in college? Though, I mean I
don't think so, No, you don't. I mean this is insane.

Speaker 3 (01:33:49):
We don't have a lot of NFL coach I mean,
what was the buyout for McDaniel if he gets canned
after they lose their tay Night But anyway, that's I'll
just say this much. I'm not necessarily picking a side
on this. I do think that it's interesting that Sark
didn't take that moment to say I'm Texas's head coach.

Speaker 4 (01:34:09):
I'm not going anywhere. This is where I want to be.

Speaker 3 (01:34:11):
I think it's hard to be a head coach at
a place like Texas or LSU or Florida where you
have a lot of quote unquote cooks in the kitchen.

Speaker 2 (01:34:18):
But if I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:34:19):
Tennessee and I got a chance to go get Steve's Arkisian,
I'm gonna give him my best shot because I think
he would do a hell of a job with cam
Warden with that offense in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:34:30):
Just to curt up. So Brian Kelly can't take a
job if he wants to keep his fifty million dollars
is out what I'm well, he can, he can, but
it would be less.

Speaker 3 (01:34:41):
I think I saw from the report today that it
would be like I think it's like eight hundred thousand
dollars annually that he would get for the better part
like the next ex.

Speaker 2 (01:34:50):
Seven hundred and fifty thousand a month for the next
area like seven years. Yeah, not bad. I'll take it.
It's good, buddy, when you can get.

Speaker 3 (01:34:56):
But that will they could negotiate it, so not all
buyouts are as staunch, is what it looks like.

Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
Right, Just give me thirty five million, right, now forty
right now, oh cash.

Speaker 3 (01:35:08):
I'll go away all right, anywhere else you want to
go on what you learned after this week. I just
learned that it is and you say it all the time,
and so does Hartman. It's a week to week league.
You really don't know what your team is gonna look like.

Speaker 2 (01:35:20):
One week they could look really good, and I'm not
just talking about wins or losses, but they could look
like world beaters, and then the following week they just
look like a team that you just get trade o
their guys and call it a season. They look so bad.
So it really is a week to week league, and
you never know what you're gonna get this.

Speaker 3 (01:35:36):
I'll say this, I think we're gonna have a wildly
busy trade deadline. I went back and I was looking
to the Diana Resi article. And if the Jaguars are
taking calls on Brian Thomas Junior, they'll get moved to
a contender. If the Ravens, Colts, Lines, and Rams are

(01:35:57):
looking for a corner, they're gonna go get one. If
the Broncos want a tight end, you know there's teams
out there that would be willing to trade it tight
end we'll see about.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
Trey Hendrickson doins rubers about Wattle being traded. I couldn't
believe that was true.

Speaker 3 (01:36:12):
I mean, when they were losing Arnie, they won one
game against the backup quarterback and Kirk Cousins, who they
pulled out a mothballs that hasn't really done anything.

Speaker 7 (01:36:21):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:36:22):
I mean the headline here on this article I'm looking
at is an aimless program in Miami.

Speaker 2 (01:36:28):
But hey, you want today, so there you go. Buddy
ries Hall was also on the trade deadline before they
won today. Well, I mean I think he still is.

Speaker 3 (01:36:36):
Just because you win me maybe it makes you a
little bit more I guess valuable. But I'll say the
two guys that I think I'm most intrigued by at
the trade deadline is Chris Olave for the Saints, right
and Quinn Williams for the Jets, who I feel like
that they've been trade either not willing to trade and
other teams have been trying to trade for for a while.

(01:36:58):
And Jeffrey Simmons with the Titans I think would be
a fascinating name too for any of the playoff contenders.

Speaker 2 (01:37:02):
That are out there.

Speaker 4 (01:37:03):
I got a lot of bit of time before we
get there.

Speaker 2 (01:37:05):
I think a lot of people be interested in chrys
Olave talk about a guy who I thought was gonna
be a fantastic guy and kind of kind a fill
off the cliff, you know what I mean. I just
he should, you know, demand a lot of interest out there.

Speaker 3 (01:37:17):
Well, according to Michael Thomas, you can blame Derek Carr
for that. All right, that's what we learned. What say
you guys at Stinking Genius One. That's Arnie's Twitter handle.
I'm at Plank Show. Everyone go follow us at Fox
Sports Radio. When we come back, we'll hit some of
your tweets. By the way, We've been watching the Dodgers

(01:38:00):
by the way, did you manage not getting in trouble
with the police this week?

Speaker 2 (01:38:04):
Is this your second week in your new home? Second week?
And uh, we already want to get out of here.
We're gonna we're making an off run a townhouse tomorrow.
So oh, you don't mean New Hampshire. You just mean, yeah, Connecticut.
We live in Connecticut now, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:38:20):
Right, you just mean getting out of where you live.

Speaker 2 (01:38:22):
Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna move to a townhouse, so get
get out of where we're living right now.

Speaker 4 (01:38:27):
Is this because your equipment doesn't work?

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
Real? Well? There is that? What it is? The equipment?
The equipment works fine? Is you know? I'm not I
haven't lived in an apartment, uh since I was in college.

Speaker 4 (01:38:38):
For you, guys are in an apartment.

Speaker 2 (01:38:40):
We're an apartment until we're going to find a permanent
place to live.

Speaker 3 (01:38:44):
And gotcha, So are you keeping people up? Have you
had anyone knock on the wall or anything?

Speaker 2 (01:38:50):
Prade? Somebody is going to do that and saying, dude,
every Sunday night I hear you through the walls. So
far nothing because we got stuff up on the walls.

Speaker 4 (01:38:58):
But sure I'm a little there.

Speaker 2 (01:39:00):
Somebody's going to come down and complain about me.

Speaker 3 (01:39:02):
Well, I'll tell you this much. My biggest fear is
always in hotel rooms. And I don't know how many
shows you've ever had to do in a hotel room.

Speaker 2 (01:39:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:39:10):
I don't know if Curious is every kid it's gonna
get mad at me for that or Scott, But I
mean that's my biggest fear. Is like someone banging on
the wall of hotels, like what's going on? It's I've
got to deal with this guy. Tell me the Dolphins
are going to the super Bowl when they're two and six?

Speaker 2 (01:39:23):
Right now? Man, you've had people like do so from hotels? No, yeah,
I mean, I mean I'm one of them.

Speaker 3 (01:39:28):
It's happened a lot, It's happened a ton, But it's
just it's always that great fear that, oh, no, someone's
gonna knock on the door, they're gonna end up or
if you're in oh this is a good one. Whenever
I was doing the Overnight Show, I had to do
it from a well they not ballroom. What are they
called in hotels, like a conference room. This is way

(01:39:51):
inside radio. But they had like a hardline. The problem
was that the conference room Arnie was right next to
the bar where where people would and this was in Columbia, Missouri,
and people would get done with they're not a partying
and they didn't care that you were on the air. Now,
think about overnight radio not have made for some good stuff.
But I didn't want to risk my job.

Speaker 2 (01:40:12):
On that one. So you don't do that shift anymore, Right,
you're done?

Speaker 4 (01:40:15):
No, uh B fired me.

Speaker 3 (01:40:17):
So once I got camped from that job, I just
kind of came crawling back to doing Sunday nights. But yeah, well,
congratulations on finding a place then, yeah, yeah, no.

Speaker 2 (01:40:26):
I'm excited we again. Like I said, I my place
around here, I just I just despise it. And you know,
the people are nice, but I just wanted to get
my own place. I had to get that. I had
to get out of here.

Speaker 3 (01:40:37):
Yeah, don't blame you, don't blame you, but it's I
didn't realize you were living in an apartment.

Speaker 2 (01:40:42):
Yeah, yeah, we got an apart I don't think you
realized though.

Speaker 3 (01:40:45):
Yeah, as a home owner, I don't think you realize
how amazing it is to have an apartment where you
don't have to worry about things breaking. Like if something breaks,
you're like call the landlord, not my problem. Something breaks
in your home, you got to deal with fixing it, man,
and that costs you more money. You might ask about
this a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:41:01):
If something breaks I already had an appointment for them
to come over and fix it, and they don't fix it,
They're like, hey, we'll come back next time. We got
to order this part and order that part. And I'm
I guas sure. Whatever, whatever, Let's see you later.

Speaker 3 (01:41:14):
All right, some of these quick quick tweets before the
Sager gets in here for his final update. Johnny Right,
Hey guys, it's rumored about Sark and Cliff to the NFL, which,
by the way, Cliff is in the NFL right now,
but maybe as a head coach who is better NFL material, Sark?
Or I guess Cliff Kingsbury. Oh no, no, Kiff, I'm sorry,

(01:41:36):
said Kiff, not Cliff.

Speaker 2 (01:41:37):
My back.

Speaker 3 (01:41:38):
Shark and Kiff might be headed to the NFL, which
one is more NFL material? Well, Sark, I think, because
we've already seen what Lane Kiff its an NFL at coaches.

Speaker 2 (01:41:47):
I don't know what what Sark is going to do
as head coach and are they both going to walk away? Though,
is Lane Kiff going to leave the go to Florida?
And if he doesn't go to Florida's its going to
be Jedfish? But doesn't jet fish have connections to the.

Speaker 4 (01:42:01):
He played there? Or well he went to school there.

Speaker 3 (01:42:04):
I did an informal poll, kind of a straw poll
before the show started, and we're, uh, we're just over
three hundred votes. And I said, of the high profile
college vacancies, what do you think is the best job?
Fifty five of those who voted so far say LSU.
Now if I threw Florida State in there, would that
be considered better than LSU Florida or Penn State?

Speaker 4 (01:42:27):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (01:42:27):
I don't think so either.

Speaker 3 (01:42:28):
Right, and you're gonna have your You're gonna have your
choice of jobs. If you're Lane Kiffin, I think he's
better suited for the college game.

Speaker 2 (01:42:35):
How come we don't hear Freeman's name being tossed around
as a possible replace? You are he was a candidate
for People are saying he's candidate at Tennessee. Okay, all right,
might staying corrected them because I have not heard, oh
you need for other college jobs. Yeah, it's a good question.
Just for everything. You know, just like when you see
Sark they I mean, the dog Ketcher could be open
to the Sark today about hey Jimmy dog catcher. It's

(01:42:58):
like you o't to hear as much as like the
other guy. You know what I mean, dog catcher.

Speaker 9 (01:43:03):
We need it.

Speaker 4 (01:43:03):
We need a new dog catcher out there.

Speaker 2 (01:43:05):
Well you have to. Just like every opening there, their
names go out, but you just don't hear Freeman's name
as much as those guys do. Let's see, here's one
from Tye. The Jets have at least Joe Namath calling
a shot and winning the Super Bowl. So if you
are Arnie's age and remember that as a kid, well,
I guess you've got something. Bills fan got nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:43:25):
By the way, the Bills are the best part of
the Chiefs and Cowboys dynasty.

Speaker 2 (01:43:30):
Uh. You know, the Jets have more than just Joe name.
If they remember the sack exchange and those guys, let go,
that was a good four. There was like four of
them out there. Barty Lyons, Yeah, Party Lyons. There you go.
There's There's been a lot of you know, iconic Jets
teams in the past, that's for sure. I truly hope

(01:43:50):
they remember when they were ten and one and I
forgot what NFL analyst on TV said they were gonna
lose the rest of their games, and they lost the
rest of their game.

Speaker 3 (01:44:00):
That's I think you go for that every single year.
You try to hit that home run. Bill's Mafia Paul
Wrights truly hoping this masterful performance by the Dolphins today
saves Mike McDaniel's job. Don't need a third team of
the division getting their act together. Ou ouch, Well, do
you want him to keep his job?

Speaker 2 (01:44:21):
You know what? After today? Yeah? I do want him
to keep his job. Let's go. We're ready to make
a run. After we beat Baltimore and go to three
and six, it gets a lot easier too. I mean,
like I said, all we have is Buffy. Do you
see the Ravens today, They kind of got their acts together. Yeah,
they scared me. Nature boy.

Speaker 3 (01:44:41):
The sg's handlers must be ready to put him back
in his rubber room after the Dolphins rant tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:44:46):
No no, no, no rubber room. I mean, I feel
pretty confident now. I can't believe that they're a seven
and a half point dog's that's the biggest miscarriage of justice.
I think I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 3 (01:44:57):
By the way, now that you mentioned I just kind
of thought about this that you're doing your show and
you guys have an apartment. Does that mean that death
is more accessible? Like, she's not where you can hide
in another room. She's like right there during the show.

Speaker 2 (01:45:09):
A couple of room. Yeah, she's a couple of rooms
over I closed. You know it's not a one bedroom apartment.

Speaker 4 (01:45:15):
So it was it like two?

Speaker 2 (01:45:16):
How many you need? Two bedroom in the office?

Speaker 3 (01:45:20):
Oh wow, that's not bad, cam, Right, Arnie needs to
be checked into the nearest local mental institution.

Speaker 4 (01:45:25):
Good lord.

Speaker 2 (01:45:26):
Yeah, that's what I said about Einstein and they check
himself in, you know, mister nobody, please quit trying to
curse the Dodgers. Yeah, that's it's good one too. What'salk
about your Dodgers? Are you watching this thing or what?

Speaker 3 (01:45:39):
Of course, it's they split it. You want to win
a game on the road, they split it. Everyone's like, oh,
they're going to go undefeed it. No, it's hard to win.
Why are you whenever you get together, why are you
not coming out to the LA for one of the games.

Speaker 2 (01:45:52):
Because I'm poor Arnie.

Speaker 3 (01:45:54):
I'm doing a show at one am on Fox Sports
Radio National Radio. I can't afford. I'm not like these
rich people like Big Ben Mallor that can just go everywhere.
Brian know, who just travels the globe. I got a
wife and three kids that demand all of my money.
If I try to go to my wife and say, hey,
I'm going to go at the Doyer's game tonight, you
know what she would say?

Speaker 2 (01:46:13):
What would you say? It wouldn't cost you any money.
I mean, you got a private chat that's gonna take
me out. Oh ouch ouch. I'm thinking about going to
the Arizona Flouria. Get thinking about going to anything in Vegas.
You never go anywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:46:27):
And plus, I mean, I'm not trying to like my
own bat, but I'm very busy during the college football season.
I love I love I love the idea of potentially
going to World Series. But I'm I'm on the road
every single Saturday for college football. Because I actually sounds crazy.
I actually cover a sport, Arnie, I go to the games,
I talk to the coaches. I know, this is insane.

(01:46:47):
This isn't the way that you think sports to be handled.

Speaker 2 (01:46:49):
Yeah, that's not what you're supposed to be doing to
be honest with You're.

Speaker 3 (01:46:52):
Just supposed to sit around, watch a game and go, well,
that team sucks. Here's all my hot takes. But no,
I do it a little differently than most people do.
Oh does it a little differently, Steve?

Speaker 2 (01:47:02):
I was gonna get one more in one more end?
Sager wants to go home. Well, okay, go ahead, let's
get to the sega. He's always rushing me anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:47:10):
So we're all here to serve Arnie's there is no desire.

Speaker 2 (01:47:14):
Has he asked you how your week was or what
you did this week yet? Steve?

Speaker 6 (01:47:17):
No, Yeah, it's tiring, but I care exactly. By the way,
with World Series tickets, face value is the highest price
I've ever heard for World Series tickets.

Speaker 3 (01:47:30):
Well was it?

Speaker 8 (01:47:31):
Face value was nine hundred?

Speaker 2 (01:47:33):
Ouch?

Speaker 6 (01:47:34):
Uh, The tickets are down to seven hundred for tomorrow
night at Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 2 (01:47:40):
Get his free, you get a press pass.

Speaker 6 (01:47:42):
No, no World Series is operating. It's not operated by
the home team. This belongs to Major League Baseball.

Speaker 2 (01:47:49):
Do you know who he is? He's Chris Blake. What's
wrong with you?

Speaker 3 (01:47:53):
That's right? Come on, My six National Championship rings won't
really matter too much of the baseball people, I don't think.

Speaker 6 (01:47:59):
The World Series continue Monday night Toronto at the Dodgers
series tied at a game apiece, so all the games
started about eight pm Eastern Time on Fox TV Monday
Tuesday Wednesday in LA And keep in mind the Blue
Jays bench coaches Don Mattingley, who was Dodger manager before
Dave Roberts. Mattingly had never been to a World Series,

(01:48:20):
despite being a great player, had never been to a
World Series as a skipper. Toronto purposely sends him out
with the lineup before Game one to the umpires at home.

Speaker 2 (01:48:28):
Nice gesture.

Speaker 6 (01:48:30):
And I've mentioned it before, but the reason the World
Series started in Toronto, one of the key reasons is
the Dodgers were hosting Toronto in August in a Sunday
afternoon game, going for a weekend sweep, and the Dodger bullpen,
which has been truly wretched for the past three months
in a row, gave up two homers in the eighth
one in the ninth.

Speaker 8 (01:48:49):
They lost by a run Toronto, and.

Speaker 6 (01:48:51):
At the end of the season, the Dodgers finished with
ninety three wins in Toronto finished with ninety four, and
so the World Series started in Canada. As far as
the LSU news, they did officially fire head coach Brian Kelly,
even if they're still finishing negotiations on how they work
out that fifty mil plus.

Speaker 8 (01:49:09):
That he's owed.

Speaker 6 (01:49:10):
He is out as Tiger's head coach and they have
a bye this coming weekend. Then they're at Alabama. By
the way, the Orioles are going to have a new manager.
Reportedly it's going to be Cleveland assistant Craig Albernaz. William
Byron won the NASCAR race at Martinsville, NHL overtime wins
for San Jose and Tampa Bay for New Jersey as
well Devil's eight and one Utah's eight and two. After

(01:49:31):
winning at Winnipeg. The Lakers do not have Luka Donsich
for at least the next week due to a sprain
finger and Bruce legg Lebron James still out with the
bad back. So Austin Reeves scored fifty one points and
the Lakers win at Sacramento tonight one twenty seven point twenty.
Reeves had eleven rebounds, nine assists, just two turnovers. Home
wins for the Clippers in Dallas for Minnesota as well,

(01:49:52):
but Anthony Edwards left early with hamstring tightness. Detroit beat Boston.
Today Celtics are zero to three forty one points for
Jalen Brown, but they lost to the Pistons one, nineteen
to one thirteen. As for the NFL news, and it
has to do with the Jets comeback too today, the
NFL says because the Jets today, starting the fourth quarter

(01:50:14):
at Cincinnati, were down thirty one to sixteen. The NFL says,
going into this season, when a team was down fifteen
or more to start the fourth quarter, such teams had
lost one hundred and thirty five games in a row
wow in the NFL. And yet this season we've had
four such comebacks already, including Denver last week.

Speaker 8 (01:50:33):
And the Jets today.

Speaker 6 (01:50:35):
Jets were zero and seven, but they still won at
Cincinnati thirty nine thirty eight. Bresee Hall three touchdowns in
the fourth quarter, including the game winning TD pass. He
had eighteen carries one hundred and thirty three yards rushing.
Cincinnati's defense allows the most yards in the AFC three
to ninety four game. They gave up over five hundred
yards today to the Jets. Jamar Chase was targeted nineteen

(01:50:58):
times and had twelve catches for ninety one yards. Quarterback
Joe Flacco of the Bengals three total touchdowns in defeat
Green Bays. Jordan Love with three td passes tonight in
a win at Pittsburgh thirty five twenty five. Love with
three hundred sixty yards through the area, had twenty straight
completions at one point. Packer scored twenty one straight points
in the fourth quarter. Denver won its fifth straight, beating Dallas.

(01:51:20):
New England won its fifth in a row, ripping Cleveland
even though Miles Garrett had five sacks a Browns record.
Indianapolis is seven and one after beating Tennessee thirty eight
to fourteen. Jonathan Taylor, on only twelve carries, had one
hundred and fifty three yards three total touchdowns. The Colts
offense averaged eight yards per play against the Titans today.

(01:51:42):
The Titans only averaged fourteen points a game worst in
the league, and they only had fourteen today. So if
your opponent's getting eight yards per play, probably not winning
that game. Tampa Bay won at New Orleans twenty three
to three. The Bucks are six and two, Eagles six
and two after beating the Giants thirty eight to twenty
Giants Rookie running back Cam Scataboo carted off with a
bad ankle injury surgery. Tonight, Houston beat San Francisco twenty

(01:52:05):
six to fifteen. The Niners in the first quarter had
no first downs. In fact, it wasn't until the final
minute before halftime they got their first first down. Amazing,
it was only twenty six to fifteen. Texans Baltimore, without
quarterback Lamar Jackson again and his hamstring injury, beat Chicago
thirty to sixteen. Wins for Miami and Buffalo, and for
Buffalo it was forty.

Speaker 8 (01:52:25):
To nine at Carolina.

Speaker 6 (01:52:27):
James Cook on nineteen carries two hundred and sixteen yards
two touchdowns. The Monday night game is Washington at Kansas City,
and Washington wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel each
returning from injuries, but quarterback Jayden Daniels is out. There
were six NFL teams on a bye this week, not
only Jacksonville and the Rams from the London game last weekend.

(01:52:49):
Las Vegas and Seattle were each off. The Lions were
on the bye week. Arizona, which has lost five straight,
was on a bye back to you.

Speaker 3 (01:52:56):
Great step Stein having an awesome week. All right, what
was the tweet you wanted to get to? Ryan said,
I don't think that sark is a great coach.

Speaker 2 (01:53:05):
Did nothing at Washington, nothing at USC, and should have
three losses this season. Lane is going to go to
LSU or Florida, whatever school has more money to pay players. Well,
is there? Well, first thing I would ask you, is
there a big difference between Florida and LSU when it
comes to r Alabama when it comes to paying the

(01:53:27):
players Florida and Dama or just all the three of them.
I just figure they're all category. The crazy thought is,
I mean this just stop me now, this my be insane.

Speaker 3 (01:53:39):
But there's supposed to be rules in place now where
there's a salary cap, and they're supposed to be genuine
and authentic.

Speaker 2 (01:53:46):
Nil. But that kind of got shot to you know what,
So I don't even know what the rules are anymore, Arnie.

Speaker 4 (01:53:51):
So I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (01:53:52):
I don't know what to tell you except that everyone
seems if you, if you're Lane Kiffin and you're as
in demand as you want, I'm gonna go to the
place it's going to give me the most money to
spend on my roster, and that's it, And that's probably
gonna be LSU.

Speaker 4 (01:54:06):
Florida's gonna have a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (01:54:08):
But I also think all these places fire coaches as
soon as they have you want to go with fire
at USC.

Speaker 2 (01:54:16):
Does it really matter about the money when they're all
going to be within like a million dollars of a sary?
I mean, you want to go where you have the
better best chance to win. Isn't it that the number
one thing? Or no?

Speaker 3 (01:54:25):
But again, yeah, what gives you what gives you the
best chance to win having the best players, or what
helps you get the best players.

Speaker 2 (01:54:33):
Paying them the most money.

Speaker 3 (01:54:35):
So I'm going to wherever is going to give me
the most money to spend on my players for nil.

Speaker 2 (01:54:40):
Yeah, and I maybe have naive I just don't think
there's much difference in how much they're paying the kids
from LSU to Florida, to Michigan to Alabama or wherever.

Speaker 3 (01:54:49):
You know, well, you would be wrong, and you would
also count on your own recruiting skills too, and the
people that you're going to bring with you and the
people they're going to bring them there, because at one
point you're but I do know you're getting paid a
lot more at certain places than you are at others.
If Texas Tech wants you, they're gonna pay about whatever

(01:55:10):
they want to get you. And if Cody Campbell decides
that he's the you're the apple of his eye, he's
gonna spend whatever he wants.

Speaker 4 (01:55:18):
And all this while we're trying to change the rules
and it's just not happening.

Speaker 2 (01:55:21):
Do you get any jobs like Kawhi Leonard or that
doesn't have to happen? You don't have to do stuff
like you don't have to do that. You don't have
to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:55:30):
I mean, I thought you were gonna have to I
was ready to have a show where we were talking about, Hey,
I heard that Johnny has a job selling cars, but
he never shows up. No, it's just like, yeah, we
gave like five mil to play offensive line for us.
That's it, all right, we gotta break when we come back,
Arnie's picks. We'll take us home to get you ready
for Big Ben mall Or right here on Fox Sports Radio.
All right, we're heading down the home stretch of the show.

(01:55:52):
Great job tonight by our producer Patrick, Great job Mary
on the ones and two, Steve de Seger on updates,
and the millions and millions of editors producers behind the
scenes calling all the audio for the show tonight. It
all led up to this moment because it is time
for Arnie's picks now. No guarantee that he won't change
him five or six times more. Yeah, show's time, right,

(01:56:16):
So that's what it's all about. So take it away,
stink and genius. What do you have for us today?

Speaker 2 (01:56:20):
Let's do it. Give me a little music, put me
in the mood. Let's start with the game tomorrow, the
Monday night football game, even though Jane Daniel's not going
to play. Just too many points here, give me Washington
plus to ten and a half on the road of
Kansas City. And of course the Thursday night game. How
could you have the Dolphins as a seven and a

(01:56:40):
half point underdog after what they did today and against
the Baltimore team that was you know, they won today,
but this is a mere shadow of what they used
to be. I don't even want the points. Dolphins win
the game thirty four to twenty four. They go to
three and six on the year and really shut Chris

(01:57:01):
Plank up as they make a run for the playoffs. Now,
let's get to some college games. I like Ohio State
laying the twenty and a half against Penn State. I
want to think Vanderbilt plus the three and alf against Texas.
How'd you think Vanderbilt wins that game? I like four
to plus the seven and a half against Georgia, and
I think Florida wins that game. And my Oklahoma Sooners

(01:57:23):
Chris Love by Oklahoma Sooners? Why why not? Are you
denied about it? Have you been there before?

Speaker 1 (01:57:33):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:57:33):
Yeah, we won a game in overtime against him in
twenty fourteen.

Speaker 2 (01:57:37):
It was awesome. Baker Mayfield, Oh so it's been a while, yeap,
eleven years. Wow, it's gonna be a lot of fun.
But I'm taking my Sooners plus the three and a half.
Dodgers still gonna win the World Series. Don't worry Dodger fans.
We got this thing.

Speaker 4 (01:57:53):
Well, why would they be worried about it?

Speaker 2 (01:57:56):
Well, the way Rob Parker was talking after the first game,
you think it was over?

Speaker 3 (01:58:01):
You know it's the knee jerk rankings on Fox Sports Radio.
You are a close second to Rob Parker. Rob's got
it with with like guns of blazing Man.

Speaker 2 (01:58:10):
And one other one. Remember a week from tomorrow, a
week from monday, my Arizona Wildcats beat the crap out
of the Florida Gators basketball team, and how overrated they are.
They deserve a butt kicking for winning the whole thing
last year. Anyway, So there you have my picks, two
of them as your police no longer strictly for entertainment

(01:58:32):
purposes only.

Speaker 3 (01:58:33):
So let me get this right. Florida, because they won
last year, deserves to get beat.

Speaker 2 (01:58:39):
No, we're going to beat them, and they're just in
our way, is what's really going to happen. I know
they got two guys coming back to good transfers that
came in, but that doesn't even come close to, you know,
keeping up on what we did this year. We're just
get out of our way. Might not lose a game
this year. Why do you say this stuff? It's true.

Speaker 3 (01:58:57):
I'm a writer, Rob Jay wrightes arn. Are you back
on the door off and express when A to the
next nine, it could happen. Then you wake up, let's.

Speaker 2 (01:59:04):
Go No, let's go eleven and six. It's possible. He
didn't even catch the joke. Yeah, I wake up.

Speaker 3 (01:59:10):
Tiger Man and Utah rights as your biggest LSU fan.
I can assure you it was more about the losses.
The fan base hated him. We're talking about Brian Kelly. Yeah,
I saw like one ever since everyone has a podcast.
Now there's some offensive lineman that played from Notre Dame
that I've ever heard of that said he was the

(01:59:32):
most unlikable person he's ever been around in his life.
When talking about Brian Kelly, but he comes across if
you like someone, if you like someone, if the fan
base and if the players like him, he can stick
around longer.

Speaker 2 (01:59:46):
And then mister Nobody.

Speaker 3 (01:59:47):
Hits a double shot tonight, he writes, I told you
the Steelers were overrated. They'd been getting fat on weak teams.
They're supposing great defense. Tonight got lit up like a
Christmas tree. If the Ravens get healthy, they could catch
Jim Meaty Oakre Mike will fail again.

Speaker 2 (02:00:03):
Wow, he didn't write that in the first half of
the game, Nobody, Where were you in the first half
of that year? Arnie's right, all right, well, Arnie, good luck.
Are you moving or is it just trying to move
this week? No? No, no, no, we're just just buying
it now for months from now.

Speaker 3 (02:00:17):
So the good luck from one move to another move.
Nothing sounds more exciting, Thank you, thank you. Nothing sounds
more fun than packing a move on top of another move.
But at least you're not moving from one state to another.
All right, Big Ben Mallor is coming up next. O
forget Arnie and I will be back next Sunday night.
And always check out the podcast. Patrick puts it up
as soon as we're done, sir, Fox Sports Radio. However

(02:00:39):
you get podcasts, leave a five star review and say
something nice about Arnie Spanier. All right, for Mary, for Patrick,
for Steve is Seger.

Speaker 2 (02:00:47):
That's Ernie. I'm playing Big Minutes next
