(00:44):

football team. Also, what does Titans coach Brian Callahan calling
out quarterback cam Ward signal to you. We'll discuss that
as well, all of it right now, have a wonderful,
wonderful Monday. Here it is our numbers for heavy turbulence ahead.

(01:06):

in our lead is from Europe. That's right, Europe. Oh
my god, what are you gonna do? You talk about soccer? No,
I'm not. I'm not gonna talk about soccer. I admit
that I am like a moth to a flame when
it comes to dumpster fire sports teams. I just love them.

(02:56):
I'm fascinated by them. I can't get enough of them.
They just, to me the most interesting thing to talk about.
Because everyone thinks going into there, we're gonna win the
Super Bowl, We're gonna have a great team. And then
when it goes all terrible, or in this case, a
team that's always terrible but thought they had hired their
great coach and they were gonna turn things around. Man,

(03:17):
is this a good story? So it was an early
island game in London, in jolly old London, there across
the Atlantic Ocean, the Jets and the Broncos on a
barnstorming tour to spread the gospel of Pigskin, and anyone
that had never been to an NFL game or seen

(03:38):
an NFL game watched the Broncos and Jets probably will
never watch another NFL game. I don't know if you
were seeing this or not, if you were watching it
the early part of the day. They're very early on
the West Coast. It was like six in the morning.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
My god.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Anyway, the Broncos took down justin fields nine times, not one,
not two, not three, not four, not five, not six,
not seven, eight, nine, nine times. The final sack was
the game seiler and the final score was thirteen to eleven.
The Jets lost by two points. Their quarterback got sacked
nine times. What were the Broncos doing? Anyway? The Jets

(04:13):
remain winless. They are currently in the cat bird seat
for the number one overall in the NFL draft, and
bow knicks. He had an early touchdown, Will Luttz needed
a late field goal as the Broncos end up getting
their fourth win of the year. They're third in a row,
and yet again the trap game pulls out. The Broncos won,

(04:37):
but if you bet on the Jets, you were victorious
because the Jets covered the spread. The better story is
in that locker room, and there is no better dumpster
fire right now than the Jet Suck Suck suck Man alive.
So the Jets are zer and six and we've got
sideline drama Arama, sideline drama Orama. So Garrett Wilson, who

(05:01):
everyone tells me is a really good player, really good player,
Garrett Wilson, wide receiver, and he got into it. They
were rumbling and stumbling and bumbling on the sidelines there
As Garrett Wilson gets into it with coach Aaron Glenn,
the team was not very aggressive, to say the least

(05:21):
at the end of the first What are you doing
at the end of the first half? And so he
was annoyed by that. He was upset by that, and
so he got into it, Garrett Wilson, and then postgame
he said, I just didn't know exactly what the plan was.
Once I figured it out, I was disappointed. So he

(05:43):
asked what the plan was. He got told what the
plan was and said he was disappointed. He said, I'll
just say that. That is what Wilson told reporters. Well
later on the head coach Aaron Glenn was said, what
the f were you doing at the end of the half?
Can you explain what you were doing? You were you
weren't aggressive? What makes those sense? Can you explain what
you were doing.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
So I knew were getting the ball back, and I
think it was like third and seven to third and eight,
and at that point we didn't know we got the
first down or nine, because I know one reference saying yes, no,
it was no. So once it got the fourth down, guys,
I'm not about to sit there and try to get
a playoff and they will get the ball back, and
I think they had a time out left and give
them a chance to kick a field goal. I don't
think that's the smartest thing to do. So let's just

(06:22):
in the half, we get the ball back and see
we can get a chance to score.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, so that's we give up. That's a lot of
words to say we gave up. All right, let us discuss.
Can you unravel what the Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson
getting into it with Aaron Glenn during the game, what

(06:45):
this means? All right, So I've got my take on this.
I've got James Bond aol dial up if you know
what that is, and dumbbell, not dumbo, dumbbell, and we'll
combine all of these things together and we are gonna
make the goaba gool we're gonna make the Goba goool.
So here's the thing to lead off here. This is

(07:09):
what kind of fire is it? Someone say it's a
dumpster fire, someone say it's a wildfire. I'm going to
go with grease fire. This is a grease fire with
the Jets have right now. This is a five alarm
sirens blaring, duck and cover situation at the Jets facility there.
They're zero and six. They have bad offense, they have
bad defense, they have bad special teams. I don't know

(07:32):
what else there is. I'm not sure what else there
is for the Jets other than that. Now you've got
what everyone tells me, all you idiots tell me, is
the top offensive player on the Jets. Garrett Wilson, your
franchise wide receiver, the beacon of light in the darkness,
who's publicly questioning your head coach, who said, yeah, I
didn't know what we were doing. I asked what we

(07:53):
were doing, and then when I found out, I was disappointed. Ah,
so good, that's great. And then listen Aaron Glenn. We
heard the audio from Aaron Glenn. He played like a cat.
What kind of cat? A kiddy cat? No, it was
a scaredy cat. He played like a scaredy cat. Coaching malpractice,
Gang Green, tinder box. It is a tinder box. The

(08:17):
Jets are a tinder box right now. They just are.
And this is code bread. We are talking code red.
That is the face of your offense. Essentially saying I
don't trust the coaching staff. I'm disappointed in them. He said, well,
who cares. The coach is supposed to be the one
making these decisions. And then is accurate. They Jets had
somehow eighty two yards of offense. Eighty two yards of offense.

(08:43):
That is something you'd see at a powder puff football game,
all right, not even Pop war Pop Warner. They put
more yards up powder puff football game, eighty two yards.
And they had the lead the Jets in the second
half because of a safety, not because of some big
offensive drive, some defining offensive drive, none of that. And

(09:06):
of course they still found a way to puke all
over themselves and ride the vomit comet, and they did.
Aaron Glenn supposed to be the tough guy, no nonsense.
I figured out how to win with the Lions. I
learned from Dan Campbell, and I'm bringing that that must
that massive winning attitude that the Lions have that swagger
and I'm bringing that to from Detroit. I'm bringing it

(09:28):
to the Jets. Has there been any evidence of any
of that? Has there been any evidence that the Jets
know what they're doing?

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Right?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
No? No, no chance? Right? And the other thing about this,
like for Garrett Wilson to publicly slam Aaron Glenn like
this is on the sidelines, he knows the cameras on.
It's a it's an island game. Everything's focused on that
before the other games kick off. Can you imagine what's
going on behind closed doors? Like that's the part of

(09:59):
this which he's even better because you think Garrett Wilson
just decided to blow up on camera out of nowhere. No, no,
this kind of stuff. I'm telling you it, no chance.
It's been bubbling up, but bubble, it's been bubbling up.
That kind of moment doesn't come out of one bad
play call. That is frustration which has been building up, up,

(10:22):
up and away. It's been building up and and the
players have no faith in the scheme. It's pretty obvious
it's not working with the Jets. Uh, they shouldn't be
this bad like they actually were. Somewhat competitive with Pittsburgh,
actually very competitive with Pittsburgh in the first game of
the year. And it's and they've said, well they've been
they've been in these games. Well, not because they're good.

(10:43):
It's like the other teams play the Jets and they're like, oh,
the Jets is kind of show up half speed will
win these games. And it seems like they're playing that way.
And Aaron Glenn at this point, my advice to him,
professional unsolicited overnight talk radio advice is that he needs
to go out, Aaron and bring in James Bond. He
needs why why James Mint because he can defuse this bomb.

(11:08):
But like Goldfinger, it's a bomb. It's a tick tick
tic tic tic ticker come boom, all right. Now. Furthermore,
that's not all that's wild about the Jets. So Aaron
Glenn got very snippy with the media when they said,
you know, your quarterback sucks. He's doesn't look like he's
ever played quarterback before. Maybe you should bench him, and

(11:30):
Aaron Glenn got very defensive about the possibility of benching
Justin Fields. Here's a little taste of the Jets head coach.
Take a listen, just.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Numbers knocking game.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
You know, is he going to be your quarterback next week?

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Or come on, man, what kind of question is that.
There's a number of guys that you know. I mean
sometimes this league is like this and there are guys
that have bad games. That doesn't mean you just bench him.
Come on, you know better than that.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Okay, what kind of question is that? So question? Is
it an unfair thing to ask the jet said coach,
whether the NFL's worst quarterback should be benched? So stupid? Listen,
obviously it's completely fair. It is a performance based business.

(12:21):
And the quarterback looks like he's trying to play piano
in scuba gear underwater. It's horrific. It is absolutely horrific
watching him play. And needless is a justin fields. The
Broncos have a good defense, they're not that good. They're
not nine I say eighty five bears good is what

(12:44):
that is? And justin fields has never been poetry in motion.
It is fascinating. They should do a case study this guy.
I remember when he was coming out of Ohio State.
They REPUW said, well, he doesn't really not polished, he's
not really ready for the NFL's more a develamental guy.
So the Bears of course drafted him. I think in
the first round. He sucked in Chicago, and then they

(13:06):
got rid of him. He went to Pittsburgh. He's he
was so bad in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 6 (13:09):
How bad was he?

Speaker 1 (13:10):
He was so bad that Mike Tomlin left the rotting
carcass of Russell Wilson out there rather than go back
to justin Fields. That's how much he he loathed justin fields.
So then the Jets get justin Fields and it gets
even better. Right, because you watch justin Fields, it looks
like he's playing the game on a ten second delay.

(13:32):
It's so bad. And everyone else, like everyone else in
the NFL, like all the defenses are playing with broadband
high speed internet and he's got aol dialog. It's like, hey, dude,
you got to wait for the thing to connect. Ando, Like,
what is that? It's not the offensive line, it's not.
This is something that dumb people say that are sports fans.
They don't understand. And most sacks are the fact most

(13:54):
most sacks are because of quarterback and competence, that the
whole offense is designed rat a tat tat get rid
of the ball, right, rad a tat tat, read and react,
get rid of the ball quickly. And if you don't
do that, you're going to get destroyed. If you don't
read the defense right, you hold the ball for too long.
You have no internal clock check jack check right, no

(14:14):
pocket awareness check check check, check, check, all that stuff.
And it's got like the processing justin fields of a
fax machine from like nineteen ninety seven, but it's twenty
twenty five. You're like, you know, come on, what are
we doing here? Like seriously, And he's not some rookie
finding his way and all that. That's not what this is.

(14:36):
He's been around long enough now and you either have
it like those is one of the things. You either
have that pocket feel for the game or you don't.
And once in a blue moon, and I think I'm
talking about the alcohol, once in a blue moon, do
you figure it out? He don't have it? Like whatever
that is, whatever that thing is, you can come up

(14:57):
with any word you want for he don't have it.
The offense is he's dead last in passing, number thirty two,
number thirty two, dead last in past. For a reason,
it's all disjointed. It's all that there's no rhythm watching
jazz band where everyone's playing a different song. You're like, well,

(15:17):
that doesn't sound good. It's like that seems pretty crappy.
That seems pretty bad as wild. The thing that I
love about this, and I admit I'm spending way too
much time talking about the Jets are the worst team
in football, but I just love the story. I just
love the story. The thing about the Jets is there
were no less than thirty stories written from people that
cover the Jets about all the braggadocious nature of Aaron

(15:42):
Glenn and the Jets coaching staff there and that they
were hand crafting. They spent this offseason hand crafting the
offense to play to Justin Field's strength. That was the argument, right, listen,
Justin Fields He's never really had an offense fully built
for him. They bragged about instructing from the bottom and
building it up, going down, doing demo and building Justin

(16:05):
Field's back up and build around his strengths. And Wowie Kazawi,
does he suck?

Speaker 6 (16:13):
Like?

Speaker 1 (16:13):
The only one worse is I believe Joe Flacco among
those that are still playing regularly in the NFL. Now,
last thing, speaking of bad football, another team that's actually
right there, neck and neck with the Jets. If it
wasn't for the generosity of the Arizona Cardinals, they would
also be winless. The team in Nashville where Titans coach

(16:34):
Brian Callahan called out called out his football team after
they lost by double digits to the Raiders. They lost
to Geno Smith by ten points, twenty to ten. Now,
the thing that's interesting about that is that Callahan went
somewhere you're not supposed to go. You see the Tennessee Titans,

(16:58):
they had that number one and they got there forever
quarterback cam Ward. The general rule is you're never supposed
to criticize the top pick. He's your franchise quarterback. Well,
apparently Callahan did not get the memo. Let's go to
the audio tape.

Speaker 7 (17:15):
I'm incredibly disserved by the by the outcome we felt
were coming in the game, and to not be able
to take the phone wall on offense and o those
from points and then who's the game is disappointing, you know,
And we all got to be better. Cam is part
of that too. Cam's got to play better football as well,
and we got coach better, We got to play better.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
All those things.

Speaker 7 (17:33):
It's not all just him, but he is a part
of it, and we'd like to be able to start
seeing some more good football being played. And you got
to do better.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
We actually had our microphone was over in Salt Lake
City or a boom mic, and it was it was
pointed towards Las Vegas. It was pointed towards Las Vegas.
So the question on this one, what does tight if
you could hear that? What does Titans coach Brian Callahan
calling out cam Ward naming cam What is that signal
to your So on this one, you can crank it

(18:03):
up a couple of notches, right, crank it up a
couple of ounchers. This is classic losing coach behavior. And
we're not even at mid season yet with the Tennessee Titans,
like Callahan is out there grasping for some kind of lifeboat.
He needs a life raft to help him out. And
instead of paddling, because that's not something he's able to

(18:23):
do at this point, he's trying to push cam Ward underwater.
You're you're supposed to be good, you were the number
one pick of the draft. You suck and all that.
So it's no more mister nice guy, not the guy
from the Bay Area. No more, mister nice guy. And
this is what it looks like when a coach is trowning. Right,
when a coach is d you can see it in

(18:45):
the body language. You can see it in the words
that are said, we all got to get better. Cam's
got to get better to well, it's not like it's
any different. Cam Woard suck. The entire season is terrible. Now,
I know there's that jock sniffing crowd. They sniff the jock,
the quarterback. They love quarterbacks all they worship those quarterbacks.
They can never admit these guys blow. They can't say, oh,

(19:05):
this guy sucks. Kim was terrible. I'm not saying he's
gonna be terrible forever. He sucks, Like right now, he's
in this moment we do the show today. He sucks.
And so finally Brian Callahan week six. Now he's calling
out cam Ward and so he's now trying to say
finally he's enough. He's feeling the heat. He's like, Okay,

(19:26):
I'm gonna I'm gonna shift the dumbbell off my body
and put it on top of cam Ward. The ship
be sicken. The ship be sicken. And this comes a
couple of weeks after Cam Woard's famous quote when he
talked about the Tennessee Titans offense, he said, quote, we
ass that was his quote? Clotes quote, We asked was

(19:48):
his quote? And that listen, that's not a bump in
the road. It's not a bump of the road. There's
a full on highway collapse there. And it's just wonderful.

Speaker 8 (19:57):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
And generally when the the coach starts pointing at the
number one pick overall publicly calling out the quarterback, it's
now a case where he's getting the message, hey, I'm
going to lose my job, whether that happens when the
sun rises today on this Monday, or whether it happens
in a couple of weeks from now or a month

(20:19):
from now. That he's on borrowed time and he knows
it and he's going to the disco. It's panic. At
the disco. He's like, oh crap. And you're supposed to
be the guy. You're supposed to be the coach. You're
supposed to be the franchise player. And instead of as
the coach protecting the player publicly, Callahan has decided, since
we have no offense, I'm going to go on the offensive,

(20:40):
and I like it always starts out first of all
with a little jab. That was a little jab, and
then it's the awkward more questions because that was his answer,
so follow up what do you mean by that? And
then we get to like week week nine or ten
or eleven or something like that, and then it's like,
sources close to the situation tellers ownership is considering the

(21:01):
change because of the fractured locker room. Really, cam Ward
has not shown any signs of improvement at all. In fact,
he is Actually Justin Fields is a little higher. I
had the numbers wrong on so Justin feels a little
higher it is. Currently the updated quarterback rankings have cam
Ward at number thirty three. There's only thirty two teams

(21:24):
in the NFL, so that's probably not good. I don't
want to be too critical. Likely not good. All right

Ben mahlor has that Ben Maler if you want to
be part of the live radio program in Slotle, lorraina
FSR tech queen also Cooper loop At a Bronco fan.

(23:28):
Loraina loves the tweety bird. Tweety bird, a lot of
a lot of birds sounds, a lot of bird sounds
and take your calls comments, all of that like being
at the zoo. Back to it all, right, back to it.
We fan of the aviary. Ben, I hear you. We
had a brawl dust up Kansas City walloped Detroit won

(23:51):
by double digits there and dominated the second half. And
then after the game Brian Branch, the safety for the
Detroit Lions. He refused to dap Mahomes no handshake, and
then as that went on, he walked by Mahomes Juju
Smith Schuster said the magic word to Brian Branch, who

(24:14):
then molly wopped Juju Smith Schuster. His nose was bleeding
from the scuffle. There was blood in the air everywhere postgame.
So Brian Branch will get a nice fine from the NFL.
That is going to happen, Gay garanteed. As far as
the may Day thing, Drake May in a game that

(24:37):
was not featured on this show because it was the
Patriots and the Saints. That's why it was not featured
on this show and the Patriots who were at some
points in that game in danger. But like most NFL games,
it's like they're not all blowouts. Most games are close,
at least for a while. And at halftime of that
game was twenty two to sixteen. In the second you

(24:58):
talk about a dot of a second half, neither team
scored more than three points. Patriots hold on and they win.
But Drake made three touchdown passes in that game, no interceptions,
two hundred and sixty one yards passing. But he joins now.
Drake May joins Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott, and Dan Marino
as the only quarterbacks twenty three or younger with two

(25:19):
hundred plus passing yards and one hundred plus passer rating
in five consecutive games, and the Patriots have what we
call the hostess schedule. The hostess with the most is
the new Eland Patriots at four and two, and here's
what they have upcoming. They've got Tennessee and Cleveland. The
Patriots are going to be six and two after their

(25:39):
first eight games, and then after that they still have
games down the line. Obviously because they're in the division.
They play the Jets twice, so that should be a
couple more wins. That'll right there, that'll get you. You
have four wins, get six, that's eight minimum eight, So
then you win those and you still have the Ravens,
who are a terrible team this year, the Dolphins last
week of the year. Again they suck, So there's a

(26:01):
legitimate path based on bad schedule, and also the Bengals,
where the Patriots could be back winning twelve or thirteen
games this year and still not be considered all that
good a team because they played a bunch of cupcakes.
Let's call the phones slo to Andrew, who's in Bakersfield,
Hello Andrew, Welcome.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Hello, Ben.

Speaker 9 (26:21):
I have a take on the Cowboys. I mean, is
it just obvious that Jerry Jones is basically booting this
on this season. I mean, if you're going to get
rid of Michael Parsons, you, Jerry, I'm calling you out.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Jerry, Come on, buddy, I'm sure he's listening.

Speaker 9 (26:40):
Go ahead, Yes, you got to make a move and
get a defensive back or a linebacker and at least
try and get this season because you guys might be
able to get into the playoffs.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
Now.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Jerry's see, Jerry's like a lizard person. He's gonna live forever,
so he doesn't need to worry about this. He can
throw away a season because Jerry's gonna live way beyond
all of us because he's not human. So he figures, Oh,
the Cowboys, after they had two wins. Now they beat
the Giants, they beat the Jets, the Packers is half
a win. So they're two three and one and they
still play. They they've got a tomato cans down the line.

(27:18):
They got a game with Arizona, a game with the Raiders.
They can win those, and there's enough like games that
there are fifty to fifty games. They'll be in the
wild card race.

Speaker 9 (27:27):
He's going to lose the heart of America for the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
I'm sure he's very worried about that.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yes, all right, he should be.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Okay, hang up, go away. You're a terrible caller. That's
funny that you said that man, that he's a terrible caller. Well,
because I was just saying he's a terrible caller. Well,
I was just sitting here thinking during that call. Yeah,
that I used to think Andrew was an awful caller.
He's growing on you.

Speaker 10 (27:49):
He's kind of grown. He calls with with different sports takes.
For a while, I thought he was, you know, he
only calls to talk about the Dodgers. But there was
a Cowboys call. You know, it's it's it was coherent.
So you're saying he's got he's a multi dimensional caller.
He's not a one trick pony. I'm just saying I
used to put him in the same category as people

(28:10):
like Gunner.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh Man government Minnesota, and now he's better than that. Okay,
all right, let's say hello to homeless Mike, who's in Tempe.
Hello homeless Mike, Welcome.

Speaker 2 (28:26):

I spent three hundred of my thousand minutes talking to you.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Oh wait, it's going to be a great conversation. Okay,

You're a mention it works out? How it works out? Uh,
let's get to it. Number two. Uh, I knew it
was Dion Sanders, was the answer to answer the question.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
That was a long time ago.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, he was offense defense right?

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Who else?

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Well? That was a year old though. People younger don't
know that.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
They don't they don't know that it started.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
You were one year older than me.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
I looked you up, crab man.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
I'm the same age as you pretty much. What happened?
How did I get to this point? I don't understand.
I used to be the young cool guy. How did
that happen? Where the hell did the time go?

Speaker 4 (30:41):
What you have?

Speaker 2 (30:44):
No, it won't tell me if you have kids or not?

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah? What are you a stalker? You want to know
my address? What are you looking for? You want to
what kind of car I drive? What are you looking
for or not?

Speaker 2 (30:56):
I have a twelve year old son.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
I was just congratulation. How's your son doing? Your son
in school doing well? Sounds like he wants to have
a playday. Then I don't know that I want that?
Is there anything else I can do to satisfy the
three hundred minutes of your Obama phone that you use
anything else I can do for you.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yes, there is.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Okay, you don't say I guess, let me guess it
involves me sending you money. Is that accurate?

Speaker 6 (31:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Okay, all right, what who's your team of college?

Speaker 1 (31:31):
I don't really have a team in carball. Saddleback College
of course is where I went, so I pulled for
for some reason. They're not in the Ivy League or
the the SEC.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Want c l A.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
My parents went to UCLA. I didn't go to u
c l A, so that that was their team. They
love U c l A, and so that was another
I gotta go. There's other people who want to talk
if boll guarding all the time.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Okay, I'll get I'll get to it real quick. Uh
Anthony Richardson rather hav him wanna eye and a backup?

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Okay, yeah, okay, Well he apparently has one eye now,
so he used the band and his eyes all messed up.
So I gotta go. Thank you. There's a man using
three hundred minutes of his Obama phone to get on
the here. Let's say hello to Tree in Chicago, who's
still in morning? Because we were supposed to have it
was supposed to be game number one. Of the NLCS
Blakes now was gonna pitch against the Cubs, but now

(32:26):
he's gonna pitch against the Brewers. What happened? Tree? Oh? Man?

Speaker 4 (32:32):
Beannie Beanie was saying, Man, what's up?

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Coo?

Speaker 4 (32:34):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yeah? I know hear that sucks.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
Man.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
No offense, you gotta have offense.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
My boy, my boy bought some uh in fight. Man,
But we came on the shore. I gotta I got
a question for you being why And it's really pissed
me off because when I came to the show, I
told you, guys who bought to be the Cub versus
the Tigers? Why did they take schooball out the game?

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Man? You know why? Tree? Because baseball's run by really
smart morons. That's why I was all I ranted on
my podcast. I thought the Mariners, even though they won
the game, they should have left their guy in. Also,
just it's an elimination game. You can't go bubble hundred pitches.
You're you're not gonna have to amputate the pitcher's arm
after one hundred pitches. It's so stupid.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
Man, Scooba was rolling. Man, I stayed, I watched the
whole game. Man, I watched all watch the whole game.
I did too, could not believe a Scooba as a horse.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Man, like ninety nine pitches, gotta take him out, ninety
nine pitches like you're pretty they're saving him. The good news, though, Tree,
he's ready for the Grapefruit League next year when he's
the spring training, he'll be ready to go because he
only throw ninety nine pitches. But the home ball eight one,
Oh my god, so.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Last one being I'm not a big fan of the
cam war guy, like I'm I'm not surprised man when
he when he was coming out number one, I didn't
see it. I would have traded to Dick. What did
you think about camp?

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah, I didn't think he was that great in college.
I didn't see him. Some play a little bit of
Washington State and obviously went to MYAI and he had
some success in Miami. But I never thought of this
guy as like a generational quarterback. He's a good sound bite,
he's a good interview. I hope he turns out to
be okay, but he stinks right now.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
So quick big be winning the National League and that's
all I got.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Well you know who, you know who? I pulled for
a tree. I don't. I still think they're gonna lose
the Brewers, but I would like to see the Dodgers win,
so we'll see what happened. Thank you, Retri. There's a
great tree from Chicago. By the way, it's Blake Snell versus.
The options for Game one for the Brewers are Jose Quintana,
Quinn Priester, or an opener. I think they're going with
an opener, and then the Dodgers are going with Snell

(34:35):
in game one. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start in Game two
for the the Doyers. Wayne is in Missouri. Hello Wayne,
Welcome Wayne.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Oh brin Lorena coop breeding from the seram Pertine and
picture shorts of table Rock Lake, Missouri.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Beautiful piece of God's green Earth right there.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Oh yeah, you know, Ben, you know.

Speaker 9 (35:05):
I got a root for the Dodgers this time because
our dear friends that live across.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
The cove have a marina.

Speaker 9 (35:15):
They're transplanted Californians from Herntington Herrington Beach and they're all ducked.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Out in Dodger blue.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
So there you go. It's a neighborly thing to do
because of your neighbors. Are going to pull for the Dodgers.
And then there you go. And just as long as
the starters can pitch eight innings, they'll be fine. Yeah,
and you got one good relief picture who's actually a
starting pitcher, and then you're fine.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
That's it for sure, for sure. And they have, you know,
the Dodger Dogs.

Speaker 9 (35:50):
Their Marina uh Delly has a take on that called.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
