(00:49):
a different beginning to this last hour of the show tonight,
since it is now Friday. On Friday, babys, Mike and
I have a big announcement to uh let you guys
know both of us at the same time, we're taking
a leave of absence here at Fox Sports Radio as
(01:09):
both he and I have been named head coach of
Michigan for one of the weeks that Jim Harbaugh's going
to I've bended for I've got the third quarter. No, No,
I had the third quarter. You had the second quarter
of week two. I had the third quarter of week one.
I gotta go back and look at my notes. Yeah, No,
I mean I think I saw the graphics guy really confusing. Yeah,
(01:30):
I mean the whole power point thing when I didn't
know I didn't know when the OC because they kept
kind of drifting in and out. And the animation. I mean,
I like that they wanted some bells and whistles to
give us some excitement there. Yeah, but it got a
little bit much and confusing as to which was my responsibility.
Now it's weird. It's weird because because the Hardball's brother
came to me and said, wait a minute. You know,
the Harbor brother we don't talk about. He said, wait, now,
(01:52):
which game are you doing. I said, I'm third quarter
Game two. He goes, okay, I'm fourth quarter Game three.
I said, good, Okay, So it works out, but they
may change that. I don't know if that's a permanent schedule.
It's like they when they put your schedule out at work,
like the week before and they go, hey, don't put
this in stone. Yeah, a couple of things may change. Okay,
I think that's that. That's what's gonna happen the tb A.
I mean, did you do well enough in the first
(02:15):
set of play calls to keep the job or can
you be deposed on the sideline? Is there a bloodless
no no? If you don't, you know, matipulate the ball down?
You you you name me the coach. I'm the coach.
That's coach that quote. You gotta give me. You can't
just let me coach a couple of appearances subject to change.
You got to put me in position to succeed. Man.
(02:35):
You can't just say, hey, if you have a couple
of bad plays, like an award show in Hollywood, we're
scheduled to appear, not and then maybe you don't scheduled
to I'm sorry, I'm Matt Damon. You are bumped from
the show tonight. This this decision, it's funny this to
(02:55):
have because now Harball is going to be suspended Festuer games.
We've talked about that. The decision. We're not lying. The
decision came down how they are going to handle this
three game suspension, and you have the offensive coordinators going
to be the head coach. Week one, two assistants are
going to split the game. Week two, somebody's gonna be
the head coach the first half, somebody else could be
(03:17):
the head coach the second half, and then the defensive
coordinator is gonna be the head coach in the third game.
You really need to bring this one home. I'm like,
what the hell, man, what the hell? I mean? If
there was ever a middle finger, not only to your opponents,
but to the sport of college football, this is it.
If I'm one of these other teams, I go, oh,
(03:37):
so this is like gonna be a scroll, like it's preseason,
like it's a scrimmage. Hey, I'm gonna get some guys
some chances here. We're gonna get some guys that don't
get a chance to be the head coach a chance
to be the head coach soon. So these guys, I mean, really,
you have four different In fact, you have two guys
splitting the head coaching job in the middle of the game.
At the UNLV September ninth, Special Teams Corda and safety's
(04:01):
coach Jay Horriball will handle the first half and then
the run game coordinator, running backs coach and former Michigan
Wolverine stand out Mike Hart will be the guy in
charge in the second half. Mike Hart from Syracuse. By
the way, Syracuse let him get out of their backyard.
Hey go be running back to Michigan. But yeah, that's
how we're splitting up responsibilities. The graphics started showing up
(04:24):
and on Twitter the announcements, and I'm just staring at refreshed.
I'm like, come on, this can't be right. Yeah, I
thought it was an Onion headline. Yes, a joke. They're
just saying, ah, you know blank this. You know, he's
taking the suspension, he's salty, and now they're making fun
of No, this is really what they're doing. Oh yeah, no, no, no,
that's exactly how it's going. It is. You have four
(04:46):
head coaches for three games. Now, wait, I got to
ask Steve de Sager. I guess, Steve, have you heard
anything about you coaching one of the halves of one
of the games from Michigan.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I believe of the overtime possessions.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I am okay, you got your plays ready to go.
You got your best point.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
One play from the two, so that's all. Well case
what if there's a penalty. Well, I'm stuck.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
You got let's run. Say we already showed them the formation,
not run it again.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I have an All American running back. He's going to
run straight through the center of the line. And if
that doesn't work, then I'm like my cart against Appalachian State.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Okay, well, actually, okay, all right, that's good. Runs.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Actually coach had hert off the field for both of
the two point conversions. They gagged and they lost by two.
But who's wow? You bet on that game? No game?
I do remember that game. By the way, that quarterback
that beat Michigan, they're going to retire his number this
year at Apple.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I can't believe it took taking this statue.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Was announced saying, hey that who's it DeMarcus somebody? We're
gonna put him in our Ring of honor. What about
Jimmy Johnson?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
No, no, no, yeah, at some point, de Jay, we're
gonna get you up. Wow. Did they see that that
baby raccoon? Outside right there? Right? Look look outside right there?
And then he runs away? Where did we call that guy? Rocket?
Where do you go? Where do you go?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I think he's in the Hall of Fame too. Jimmy Johnson.
I'm not sure about this, but.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, we have a higher standard here with the Dallas Cowboys.
Tony Romo is going in next week.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It's as if Jerry is saying, I go into our
hall of honor first before Jimmy Johnson, and I'm not retired.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Then Steven goes in, and then then.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Jerry Jude, and then then my wife with all those
paintings she bought for our stadium.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Then Barry, then Barry Switzer goes in, and we make
sure we get him in. And uh and.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
If Kellen Moore has a good year, sure, why not
him too? I know he doesn't work for us anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
But Dave Campo gets a statue. H Dave Campo's got
a great resume. Yeah, we gotta get that out front.
And then who's the guy you just asked me about.
Who's Who's the guy? Who has who? Who? H uh uh?
Look look look outside, look at that. It's a it's
a I don't know what it is. Look at a Scott.
Look at the Scott. All right, next question, next question.
(07:07):
But but I look forward to that because I look
forward to your play calls being the overtime period. If
that happens.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, you know, college overtime, it's a little easier to coach.
There are no actual possessions.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Just run the field goal kicker out, rit's go, We're
gonna kick. What do you mean you're gonna kick?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Now?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It's one play, but I want to kick. No, it's
I'm the head coach. This is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Can I can I like us fl Can I just
go for three and avoid the overtime altogether?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Step Curry's not available. We're gonna move the ball back
to exactly Okay, Yeah, we're gonna throw a hail Mary
from midfield. How many points do you want if you
get it? Fifteen? We're down by two.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It's rocking jock. Really, it's the third overtime is mine?
By the way, I love doing the rock and jock.
It would be pre recorded celebrity games of softball, for example,
and on the graphics. MTV would actually say, like about
to hit a double on the graphic and then swing there.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It is got to keep you tuned in.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Wow, it's good. You don't want any pop ups to shortstop?
I mean, come on, Oh, it sounds almost like when
we when we do this pop ups was VH one.
Actually it was how many how many Friday and Saturday
nights did my wife and I just spend doing nothing
but watching pop up video when it was on entertaining.
I was like, watching, Holy, this is George Michael's faith
(08:27):
video and see what it says? Oh, look at that?
What does it say there? What does it say there?
Doesn't say there, doesn't say there. Now you get it.
If we had all the behind the music's back in
the day, Oh.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I find out all you need to know about Susannah Hoff's.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Coming up next the Bengals, We're going to change lead singers.
But were they really going to change lead singers? But
did they really change lead singers? Coming up next they
remake a classic by Simon and Garfen.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
What if I told you, oh, that was a different channel.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Sorry. What if I told you you could walk like
an Egyptian all the way to the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame? What would you say? No? Now you
can get that if you watch the music channels on
uh now there's like a at the ones with no video.
I remember like two years ago there were like eight channels.
You had like your sixties, seventies, eighties, you got heavy metal,
(09:15):
you had holidays, holiday, holiday holidays right now you have
there's like eighty channels all the sub fifties holidays.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Sixties holidays, and music's holiday music.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Eighties, holiday, nineties holiday, heavy metal, heavy metal from the eighties,
hair metal with info at the bottom, right, hip hop,
old school hip hop right. And every time a video
would come on the screen, you wait, or the song
would come on, it would just be stills. It's just
stills of all the people from the band.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
On the holiday channel, It's just a picture of a
Percy Faith album or whatever, Carol.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And then you'd get a fact. Yeah you know what
you would say, Oh, look, here's it's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas. And the fact would be boo.
Did you know that Norway produces the most Christmas trees
year after year? That's good? Yeah, I mean you look,
maybe you can go win a trivial pursuit like pop
up video watching the screen wh listening to it. Yeah,
but I'm watching the screen. I'm watching that log and
every once in a while the screen change.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Hey, you know what I learned today about Natasha Beddingfield.
Let me tell you did you know that about her?
I always tried to try.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I believe she's the coach for the fourth overtime. I
got the she's got the betting.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Field A big song. Wasn't touch Betty Field. I don't know,
we're leaving no stir in Stone.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
On turt here.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I get that. Well, Steve de Sega coaching the overtime permission,
I mean, how do you how do you with a
straight face say this is what we're going to do.
Do you have a head coach in mine? Uh? Yeah,
I got four of them? Wait what yes? But there's
three games? Yeah? Can these guys split one game? Sure?
I mean, this is this is a this is a
(10:44):
laughing stock. Four guys are going to coach three games.
What if the first guy wins like fifty, if he
goes and dominates, you have to turn it over. It's like, no, no,
We're gonna go to the just getting things started. I'm
trying to build a resume.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Michigan is distributing its pocket full of sunshine. I believe that.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I got that already, looked it up.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
But you know, hey, jump back in.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That was That's one of my favorite scenes in a
movie the last few years, is Winning Easy A when
she gets the card going, that's it, And then there's
a montage of her just listening to it over and
over again.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Then you just starts singing it.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I got You're dancing around. She keeps opening the card going,
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta,
I gotta, I gotta do that. I gotta puck, I gotta,
I gotta. You've all done that with a greeting card
you had that had some recording in it. A very
underrated movie, Easy fantast my favorite Emastone movie. I'm gonna
be yeah, oh yeah, yeah, easy A was real spider Man.
(11:45):
Spider Man, that's not an Mstone movie. She was just
in that movie. What about City of Stars again? She
could sing, he could not let me say let me
say it again. I will never be a part of
Dwyll More's Uh. Easy A is my favorite Emmastone movie. Easy,
but Goswig does a hell of it. I'm just ken, no, no.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I just don't like Emma Stone. She was rooting for
the Padres in the playoffs at Yeah, like Padres eat
all the fans they can get. All they have is
her in Fendley, So I mean they need more than that. No,
I just as time goes.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
As time goes on, and I'll tell you this because
we told you in five years, we'll look back and
and and people are gonna are we talking about tonight?
Five years people? Anyway, people are gonna look back and go, really,
la that one best picture, that one, that one, that
one best picture. No, it did not. The guy could
remember the envelope they screwed up. Oh but he won
Best Director. One she won and he won Best Director. Right,
(12:43):
I think I think day, I think he won Best Director,
which I remember.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Really that was that six Oscars, It says.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
The actress, director, score, cinematography, production design, and sound editing.
I'm watching him going this is not a great movie. Now.
The last twenty minute of La La Land I think
is phenomenal. Yeah, I think it's out. It's the last
twenty minutes is like, wow, that's really really something. But
the first hour and thirty minutes.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
But I repeat, she can sing in that movie.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yes, and but and it's like people just decided, Oh,
it doesn't matter. No, it's part of the movie. Part
of the movie. If a guy can't sing, I'm not
just gonna go oh, too bad, he can't sing. That's
part of the movie. That's like saying, hey, he played
a quarterback. Yeah, but he threw three picks in the
second quarter. Yeah but he threw these other touchdowns, but
he threw three packs.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Oh, that's what fantasy cornerbacks, fantasy owners are saying about
their quarterbacks who can run, Who cares if they can't pass.
It's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I gotta pucket, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta,
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
put Harmon's. Harmon's frantically looking up Natasha Bettingfield stats and
facts now so you can just hit it.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
We at the Kruella movie. You didn't like the cruell
That was good.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
That was good. Corrella was good. But again easy easy
A was really it was really good, very underrated. That's
where that's where she gained all her midge of I'm
someone who was older and more mature than my years,
kind of like what what what Natalie Portman when she
did the Professional and then she did he was a
kid in Yeah, Beautiful Girls, and it's like, oh, this
(14:12):
is someone's soul and can play somebody. That's what That's
that Okay, that told me Emmistone was.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Gonna so not Aloha where she was a native Hawaiian.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
No, no, no, I think she would do that again.
Make that decision again. Although no, crazy stupid love. Second
favorite movie, it's not an Emmstone movie. But every time
I hear the name David lind Hagen, I just left
David Davidlyn lind Haggen linn.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Houg skipping the Spider Man.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
He just glossed over with Spider Man's were fine, but
they weren't Emma Stone movies like those are more Emma
Stone movies.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yeah, that's like saying Samuel L. Jackson has grossed the
most money in the his well, you know, in every movie.
He was in Jurassic Park and Star Wars, so let's
start there.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Well, yeah, I mean I think I think he was
in the most in the I think he was in
the most movies in the nineties and all the stuff
he has done in the last twenty years, he appeared
in the most movies, like with a certain number of
lines like where you where you're considered a part of
the cast, not just a walk on part or lie
like he had the most he was he had the
most roles in movies in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
This says Emma Stone played Lori Partridge in the New
Partridge Family TV movie in two thousand and five.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I did not see that, but now I want to. Wow,
I really want to see that. Yeah, wow, I really knew.
I didn't know it. I did. I didn't know either. Hey,
Hello World is a song that we're singing. Come on,
get happy. Yeah, I want to see that now. I
know people that work with Bonaducci a long time. They
have stories.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
He made an appearance apparently in that movie, and the
part of Reuben Kinkay, the manager, was played by French Stewart.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Wow ooh okay. You know if I remember and I
remember this, and I do remember, I remember having the
biggest crush on Shirley Jones. Oh who did I love Shirley?

Stars could have come back with any of those songs
we were talking.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I Think I Love You.

We had Partridge Family themes. So I could have any
of that, and any of that could have come back.
Come on, world, there's a song that we're singing, Come on,
get happy. We could have me to end with Tears
for Fears. I think I love you any of those,
So you could have had any of those songs. I'm
gonna be honest. It was like shooting fish in a barrel.
I'm gonna be honest. The only thing I heard when
you guys were talking earlier was spider Man, because I
(17:51):
was thinking, William Dafoe, spider Man, spider Man, what are
you doing out there? Spider manider Man? That's pretty the thing.
I've got a pretty good William to defoe foe. But you
you failed miserably at the music assignment that I thought
you would have here for. I mean anything, everybody listens, go,

and seven. Oh, doesn't you could have come back with
simple plan then I have some our lady piece. No, no,
you failed. You just say I'll take the elk ta ta,
I'm taking the l I'm just I'm just not sure
what you're expecting from me, any of the call back,
any of those calls.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
You don't appreciate your joke, soul Man.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, wow, you're right, I did fail on the assignment.
That's just a fa. I mean, Patrick even admitted to,
you know, going down the rabbit hole of looking up
Shirley Jones pictures. I did. I haven't saw a couple
of pictures. I see what Jason's talking. She had the
short hair. Did you ever see the Saturny Live skit
(19:17):
sketch where they had them and the fat Albert kids? Uh,
they were now kind of bat a battle with the bands. No,
I never seen some next level stuff right there. And
the Brady kids are part of it, you know, it's
it's a whole thing. No, No, I love Shirley Jones.
And she would wear like the the mini skirts. I
was a look at the end in the sixties, like
the mini skirt that hit like just above the knee.
(19:38):
I was like, oh man, I really like Shirley Jones.
I feel like we have a podcast coming of years
here on Fox Sports Radio. That's part of the heart,
you know, watching part I always thought that she was
mad every time Keith got to sing a song like
she was guy. You know, I'm kind of the singer's part. Well,
(19:58):
I mean it's this is built around me. Yeah, David
Cass It's like, right, it's like being Ron Howard on
Happy Days and then all of a sudden it's Henry
Winkler and the Fonds. Well that was Family Ties too.
It's about the parents. No, it's Michael Jeff Fox. I
don't know if I want to do the show. Michael Gross,
Meredith Baxter, Bernie get over there. And Uncle Ned came
in and stole a couple of us. Oh yeah, Tom
Hanks is uncle oh Uncle Ned. Those might have been
(20:20):
my favorite episodes of Family Ties with Uncle Ned. No,
he's good, Alex adn't have a glass of Marachiano cherries
with your uncle Ned. Did you get a problem, Uncle Nettu.
Today is the four year anniversary, Cherry of Andrew Luck's
retirement from the NFL. We've talked about Anthony Richardson tonight
and him having a good night getting the team in
(20:41):
the end zone a couple of times. And look, he
was made the starter because the Colts want to move
on from the Jonathan Taylor era. And I'm telling you
he'll be traded by tomorrow. Jim Orsay is a very
emotional guy. This whole situation with Taylor is emotional. Coming
off tonight, the anniversary of Luck, Richardson playing well. He
wants to move on from the Jonathan Taylor era. He's
(21:01):
going to trade Jonathan Taylor tomorrow. And you know what
Gardner Minshew is yeah, I mean, yeah, oh, he's fine,
he's a full hero whatever. But in the end, it's
if you need to go down that well you can.
So with today being the four year anniversary of Andrew
(21:23):
Luck retiring, with so much time to look in the
rear of your mirror, now now you know kids have
started college and graduated going. I kept waiting my whole
career in college for Andrew Luck to return freshman year,
sophomore year, junior year, senior year is a blur. But
he never came back. The most bizarre part of this
four years ago because the videos everywhere today of him
(21:43):
coming off the field, off the field the last time
when when news broke he retired. He retired in the middle.
The news broke in the middle of a game the
Colts were playing Adam Schefter. News that shocked the sports
world because it's one of those you remember where you
were when here's one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL,
one of the most popular athletes in sports decides to retire.
(22:05):
And it's so bizarre because it happened during a game
that Luck wasn't playing. It's a preseason game, and he's
on the sideline, He's in Colt scared, he's the he's
got the ear piece in and this story starts to
get out there. You hear that weird buzz of the
stadium that Luck is retiring, and his teammates are walking
up to him saying, are you quitting? He was coming
(22:25):
back from injury at that point, and it ends with
him running off the field after the game is over
and he hugs a couple of guys. He gets to
the tunnel and fans are booing him because he's retiring.
And it's just such such a bizarre scene that I
keep going back to both sides, both the Colts and
Andrew Luck knew this was going to happen. They knew
Andrew Luck was going to retire. They knew what was
gonna happen, and they still allowed him and thought it
(22:48):
was a good idea either of them did, for him
to be on the sidelines during the game. They knew
this story was gonna break. They knew Adam Schefter was
going to break this story. And he's on the sideline.
If he's not on the team anymore, he's not on
the team. Why is he on the sideline? Because you
know the players are gonna find out because you have
players that aren't playing that they're checking their phones. People
are yelling from the stands, hey Schefter's got it. Andrew
(23:08):
Luck is retiring? What Andrew Luck is retiring? And it
becomes a huge distraction, and you end with him coming
off getting booed something he says he's never forgotten him
getting booed going off field less time. Who thought that
was a good idea?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Don't?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I don't. That's such a bizarre moment because that's Andrew
Luck's career. What do you remember Andrew lu If you
think of Andrew Luck's name, it's him coming off the
field getting booed after he retired. Because everybody, if you
weren't watching the game, you tuned in and every other
cutaway was of Andrew Luck and the announcers, Well, Andrew Luck,
who apparently is retiring from the NFL, still there on
(23:43):
the sideline. Don't know why he is there? I mean,
I don't understand why is he still there? If he's retired,
why is he still there? Why is this going on?
And that's the image you get, not anything else from
Luck with standing a hit to his kidney or his
spleen and throwing a touchdown, or the big comeback against
the Chiefs in the playoffs, But it's that him running
off the field with a with a with a big
thousand yard stare look in his eyes, going what what
(24:04):
is going? Who thought that was a good idea? That?
That's what I still can't get past four years now,
if he's going to retire or he's not on the sideline, well,
he's heard, he's not on the sideline. Okay, we're moving on.
We're talking about the game. Then if he retires during
the game, okay, then it's a story. But it's not
a big thing on the sideline of the Colts. It's
not a it's not a story that they're distracted by.
And if you want to look back at the first
(24:26):
time when you saw that boy, the Colts had problems. Uh,
you know Colin talked about it earlier today that you
know Andrew luck and and and Peyton Manning were able
to to uh gloss over the trouble that Jim Irsay
has had as an owner because the Earth has had
a lot of really bad headlines. But if you want
to look back at the moment where you understood, hey,
(24:46):
or the beginning of the Colts are just a mess.
I mean, that's your moment where your owner who knew
this was allowed this to happen and everybody he's on
the sideline, he's gonna stay during the game. That's that's
a decision that was made that Pulls had. That's really
the beginning of the descent of the cults to get
to where we are right now, which is him pushing
his best player out the door because he wants more money. Yeah,
(25:09):
it's the curiosity of the timing, right, because the fourth
quarter of the preseason game against my beloved Chicago Bears,
when the chefter tweet goes out, and I guess you're
hoping that whoever in the building knows it, they can
get the game to finish and then if you've got
(25:30):
a ten am, hey, show up, We've got an announcement
for you that you can eke out another twelve hours. Unfortunately,
someone in the room decided that wasn't going to be
the case all right, whether it was someone on the staff,
coaching staff, whether it was out of the ursay offices,
because they were salty. Right, he has the emotional moment
(25:51):
of I'm not letting him have his moment. The home
crowd could let him have this, but that he treated
him with such love and reverence thereafter with him and
Ballard about how you go through it right and the
process uh they're in. So it's really one of the
more confusing things. But yeah, there there is a very
(26:11):
checkered pass for jim irsay, right, many people go back
to the briefcase, uh and what was found therein you know,
and and some will run jokes. I hope everybody gets
the help they need for for whatever they're dealing with. Uh,
And you get into ownership responsibilities and you know what
(26:32):
what what it all comes down to in terms of
you know, punitive measures or help measures that the league
sets up. But certainly we we've seen him handle things
much differently and the kid gloves out right, Hey, keep
those bonuses again, hoping he would come back to play
at some point. But now you know, you're you're convinced
(26:52):
that by the time you and I gather tomorrow afternoon,
that Jonathan Taylor is going to be playing for somebody else,
new team somewhere else. But but yeah, it's it's a long,
storied history with a lot of uh, low lights mixed
they're in right for Andrew Luck, you've got this or
you've got the hanging of a banner for showing up
at an AFC title game. Those are the two moments
(27:14):
in his his pro career, right yeah, right, draft day,
The fact that it was such a big deal to
get to a title game that they put up a
banner and then him walking off to booze as. Everybody
had a million questions of like, how hurt is he?
What's going on? Is he okay? All of these things,
and then for years it's still been the especially when
(27:35):
they started putting all the band aids on at the
quarterback position. It's like, are you still holding a candlelight
visual every night? That is suddenly number twelve's gonna come
walking back through that door. I don't think he is
still doing it. I'm gonna make Richardson the starting quarterback.
That's going to really make Andrew Luck make a decision.
After four years, you got to decide whether you're coming
(27:55):
back or not. Now, I drafted a guy for overall,
but I'll still kick him to the curve. If you're
gonna come back. You're my guy, man, you're my guy.
You were supposed to be the josen Wine right after
Peyton Manning. Nothing look in recent memory other than wen
bin Yama going to the Spurs, you know, the team
of his childhood, or Jokic who was wearing nugget stuff
(28:18):
back when he was you know, the jokicch that everybody
likes to mock. The chubby kid picks from back in
the day. I mean Andrew Luck coming out of the
into the draft and into the NFL the year that
Peyton Manning is coming off of all the next surgeries
and everything else. So you're able to, you know, clap
your hands and move on into what's supposed to be
(28:38):
the next generational quarterback. I don't think anything's been set
up that well in the NFL, but you got a
couple of years out of it, and all these years later,
maybe they finally have their next In richardson Fox Sports

Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

He's Mike Carmon, I'm Dan Bayern.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
We have a brand new fantasy football podcast called I
Want Your Flex. Twice a week every Tuesday and Friday,
we come up with new episodes to not only look
back at what happened, what you need to do at

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Listen to I Want Your Flex with Mike Carmon and
me Dan Byer on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast and
wherever you be your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Indulging in my self defeat, This is nowhere as old
as what you guys are talking about. This is like
ninety nine. This is like twenty four years old this song. Yeah, yeah,
and Natasha Bettingfield was like two thousand or seven. Yeah,
it's about fifteen years old. I don't believe you. I
think she's from the seventies. She does sound like she's
(33:52):
from the seventies, Natasha Bettingfield. I really haven't thought about
her much. She might as well have been from the seventies.
So there you go. I gotta I got the play
of the night coming your way in a couple of minutes.
But you just start. Steve di Seger say it. The
plan right now for show Hao Tani is to hit
the rest of the season, but he's not going to pitch.
After the breaking news last night around this time last
(34:14):
night that Otani is going to not pitch the rest
of twenty twenty three because of a tear and the
ulner collateral ligment of his elbow the UCL and it's
such a big deal because this turns baseball on its ear,
it turns the sports world on its ear. Sho Hao
Tani is the star of Major League Baseball. He's one
(34:35):
of the few guys he MESSI Lebron Rogers. Whenever they
do something, we pay attention. You're really just trying to
jam that Rogers, Rogers, the second Rogers, Rogers, Oh, rest
in Peace, discout double check. So we don't even have
that anymore anymore. We still he's too good for him
now Rogers. Now he's hanging out and stars like Ralph Maccio.
(34:56):
He's got no time for those things, going to Broadway out.
But Billy Flynn, mister Billy Flayon sings the press conference
rag notice how his mouth never moves almost. So we're
in an error now where baseball is changed in twenty
four hours because Shoeo Tani is still a big star.
And with all the debate of all what's he gonna
(35:18):
be now in his contract? What's his next contract going
to be in pitching? I got news for you. He's
now going to get an Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper type
contract because he's still a great hitter and he's gonna
get that contract. No team is gonna give him the
even ridiculous for baseball money that we thought he was
(35:38):
going to get six seven every penny if he paid off.
But yeah, because he's not the unicorn anymore. This is
two major arm injuries in five years. No team is
ever gonna trust that he could ever pitch again. No
one's gonna give him that money thinking you can come
back and pitch hitting. Yes, and maybe he gets a
(35:58):
little bit more than Judge or Harper because he's a
bigger name. He'll bring more people to the ballpark. Otanni,
bobble head is still a big deal. Him succeeding is
still a bigger story than they are. But the unicorn
is gone. I mean, can he come back and and
maybe pitch? Yeah? Maybe, But is he still gonna be
as effective as starter? The guy's gonna be thirty. You
(36:19):
don't know what this is going effect that's gonna have
on his arm. Look at Jacob de Grom, he can't
even get back on the field after a couple of
arm injuries. Could he come back and maybe close? Yeah,
I could see that for Otani. He closes and there's
no back to back days he can pitch. I could
see that maybe for him, But he's never gonna be
the same when it comes to pitching again, and no
team that signs him is going to pay him for that.
(36:41):
He's gonna try, He'll try to come back, but is
he Can you ever say a guy is really gonna
be the same after two really bad arm injuries. It
just doesn't work that way. As superhuman as Otani is,
it doesn't work that way. The error of him as
a unicorn has gone now and it's Otani slugger. Maybe
he'll pitch a little bit and we're gonna wind up
looking back at the three years he spent as a
(37:04):
starting pitcher and slugger and go I can't believe he
did it for as long as he did. But that's
the deal now with Otani, that extra part of him,
that unicornness, that's gone now, right, and he's a star player,
global phenomenon, and we'll always have plenty of video highlights
to go back to some of the great starts, and
certainly days where he's hitting home runs and pitching, well, sure, yeah,
(37:27):
those are great. Those would seem to be history. You're
not paying him thinking you're getting twenty starts out of him.
Fifteen starts. Maybe at some point you start working him
back into a bullpen situation. We talked about it a
little bit last night that you know, closing again, it's
all about arm strength and what you can do right,
what's the stress level that he's going to be able
(37:48):
to take on once he gets through whatever the rehabilitation
processes for this. But you're signing into a contract, Yeah,
you're taking into account, especially if you're going to a
new franchise, what that means for ticket sales and local
ad sales, bringing in Japanese advertisers and business partners whatever. Yeah,
there's certainly a lot of money to be made there,
(38:10):
but it's not going to jump you back and vulture
into those numbers, uh, that we were talking about in
terms of three quarters of a billion dollars and all
of that as of what forty eight hours ago. And
I know that it's such a shock to hear this
story now, to hear just what's happened to him in
the span of a day, But in the end, for like,
(38:32):
for you and I, it's not really shocking because I
can't say that this is something that was expected. But
it's not surprising to hear a guy like Otani who
puts a lot of stress on his body, playing every
day anyway and pitching every fifth day. It's not surprising
because pictures get hurt all the time there all the time. Yeah,
(38:52):
I like I don't want to go down the injury like, yeah,
for ten years. I mean, it's starting pittures. Doesn't happen
that every arm only has so many pitches in it?
And like I said, it's not that it was to
be expected, but it's not surprising because this is what
happens to pitchers and unfortunately this happened to Otani and
it's awful for him, it's awful for the sport. But
(39:13):
this is something that we see quite regularly, and especially
when you throw up. On top of the fact that, okay,
he's pitching every fifth day, he's also playing every fifth day.
That's a lot of stress, that's a lot of wear
and tear, and so it's even more to think that
he made it this far. We might look back and go,
what an amazing accomplishment he did it this far in
Major League BASEB well, and thinking about the fact that
he's also been carrying his franchise the last couple of years.
(39:36):
Because this guy that was supposed to be the tag
team partner. If you want to go six man tag
and bring in Anthony Rendon, you know, Rendon and Trout
can't stay on the field to give them any kind
of relief in the batting order. So it's you know,
really been the Otani show these last couple of years,
and what a great show it's been. But now we
look for whatever the resolution becomes in the next phase
(39:57):
of his career. Time now for the play that brought
to you by Progressive Insurance. Progressive making things even easier.
They'll help you bundle your home in car insurance together
so you can save on both. Learn more at Progressive
dot com or call one eight hundred Progressive. Just reality
about Otoni. Sometimes reality sucks, and that's what it is
for him. But we closed with the play of the
night and we had two big NFL preseason games that
(40:19):
we talked a lot about Anthony YOI did Kenny Pickett.
But our play of the day comes from the game
of the night and the best team that played tonight,
the Winnipeg Blue Bombers battle line. He takes it upside,
He's got some room. It's at the ten five.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Just like that, The Boers go back in.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Front, put that touchdown run by the leading rusher in
the CFL, Pradie Olivera TSN on the call. They went
on to blow out the Montreal Alouettes forty seven to seventeen.
Really didn't see that happening. We had a close game
when you and I sat down, and then it was
blowout Central. The road to the Gray Cup goes through Winnipeg.
(41:01):
They moved to nine and two on the season. Winnipeg No, No,
Winnipeg TJ. Winnipeg Jets to nine and two on the season.
TJ had to do it, didn't you. I hate you.

The way tire buying should be well, a bit of
(00:49):
a different beginning to this last hour of the show tonight,
since it is now Friday. On Friday, babys, Mike and
I have a big announcement to uh let you guys
know both of us at the same time, we're taking
a leave of absence here at Fox Sports Radio as
(01:09):
both he and I have been named head coach of
Michigan for one of the weeks that Jim Harbaugh's going
to I've bended for I've got the third quarter. No, No,
I had the third quarter. You had the second quarter
of week two. I had the third quarter of week one.
I gotta go back and look at my notes. Yeah, No,
I mean I think I saw the graphics guy really confusing. Yeah,
(01:30):
I mean the whole power point thing when I didn't
know I didn't know when the OC because they kept
kind of drifting in and out. And the animation. I mean,
I like that they wanted some bells and whistles to
give us some excitement there. Yeah, but it got a
little bit much and confusing as to which was my responsibility.
Now it's weird. It's weird because because the Hardball's brother
came to me and said, wait a minute. You know,
the Harbor brother we don't talk about. He said, wait, now,
(01:52):
which game are you doing. I said, I'm third quarter
Game two. He goes, okay, I'm fourth quarter Game three.
I said, good, Okay, So it works out, but they
may change that. I don't know if that's a permanent schedule.
It's like they when they put your schedule out at work,
like the week before and they go, hey, don't put
this in stone. Yeah, a couple of things may change. Okay,
I think that's that. That's what's gonna happen the tb A.
I mean, did you do well enough in the first
(02:15):
set of play calls to keep the job or can
you be deposed on the sideline? Is there a bloodless
no no? If you don't, you know, matipulate the ball down?
You you you name me the coach. I'm the coach.
That's coach that quote. You gotta give me. You can't
just let me coach a couple of appearances subject to change.
You got to put me in position to succeed. Man.
(02:35):
You can't just say, hey, if you have a couple
of bad plays, like an award show in Hollywood, we're
scheduled to appear, not and then maybe you don't scheduled
to I'm sorry, I'm Matt Damon. You are bumped from
the show tonight. This this decision, it's funny this to
(02:55):
have because now Harball is going to be suspended Festuer games.
We've talked about that. The decision. We're not lying. The
decision came down how they are going to handle this
three game suspension, and you have the offensive coordinators going
to be the head coach. Week one, two assistants are
going to split the game. Week two, somebody's gonna be
the head coach the first half, somebody else could be
(03:17):
the head coach the second half, and then the defensive
coordinator is gonna be the head coach in the third game.
You really need to bring this one home. I'm like,
what the hell, man, what the hell? I mean? If
there was ever a middle finger, not only to your opponents,
but to the sport of college football, this is it.
If I'm one of these other teams, I go, oh,
(03:37):
so this is like gonna be a scroll, like it's preseason,
like it's a scrimmage. Hey, I'm gonna get some guys
some chances here. We're gonna get some guys that don't
get a chance to be the head coach a chance
to be the head coach soon. So these guys, I mean, really,
you have four different In fact, you have two guys
splitting the head coaching job in the middle of the game.
At the UNLV September ninth, Special Teams Corda and safety's
(04:01):
coach Jay Horriball will handle the first half and then
the run game coordinator, running backs coach and former Michigan
Wolverine stand out Mike Hart will be the guy in
charge in the second half. Mike Hart from Syracuse. By
the way, Syracuse let him get out of their backyard.
Hey go be running back to Michigan. But yeah, that's
how we're splitting up responsibilities. The graphics started showing up
(04:24):
and on Twitter the announcements, and I'm just staring at refreshed.
I'm like, come on, this can't be right. Yeah, I
thought it was an Onion headline. Yes, a joke. They're
just saying, ah, you know blank this. You know, he's
taking the suspension, he's salty, and now they're making fun
of No, this is really what they're doing. Oh yeah, no, no, no,
that's exactly how it's going. It is. You have four
(04:46):
head coaches for three games. Now, wait, I got to
ask Steve de Sager. I guess, Steve, have you heard
anything about you coaching one of the halves of one
of the games from Michigan.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I believe of the overtime possessions.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I am okay, you got your plays ready to go.
You got your best point.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
One play from the two, so that's all. Well case
what if there's a penalty. Well, I'm stuck.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
You got let's run. Say we already showed them the formation,
not run it again.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I have an All American running back. He's going to
run straight through the center of the line. And if
that doesn't work, then I'm like my cart against Appalachian State.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Okay, well, actually, okay, all right, that's good. Runs.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Actually coach had hert off the field for both of
the two point conversions. They gagged and they lost by two.
But who's wow? You bet on that game? No game?
I do remember that game. By the way, that quarterback
that beat Michigan, they're going to retire his number this
year at Apple.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I can't believe it took taking this statue.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Was announced saying, hey that who's it DeMarcus somebody? We're
gonna put him in our Ring of honor. What about
Jimmy Johnson?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
No, no, no, yeah, at some point, de Jay, we're
gonna get you up. Wow. Did they see that that
baby raccoon? Outside right there? Right? Look look outside right there?
And then he runs away? Where did we call that guy? Rocket?
Where do you go? Where do you go?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I think he's in the Hall of Fame too. Jimmy Johnson.
I'm not sure about this, but.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, we have a higher standard here with the Dallas Cowboys.
Tony Romo is going in next week.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It's as if Jerry is saying, I go into our
hall of honor first before Jimmy Johnson, and I'm not retired.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Then Steven goes in, and then then.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Jerry Jude, and then then my wife with all those
paintings she bought for our stadium.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Then Barry, then Barry Switzer goes in, and we make
sure we get him in. And uh and.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
If Kellen Moore has a good year, sure, why not
him too? I know he doesn't work for us anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
But Dave Campo gets a statue. H Dave Campo's got
a great resume. Yeah, we gotta get that out front.
And then who's the guy you just asked me about.
Who's Who's the guy? Who has who? Who? H uh uh?
Look look look outside, look at that. It's a it's
a I don't know what it is. Look at a Scott.
Look at the Scott. All right, next question, next question.
(07:07):
But but I look forward to that because I look
forward to your play calls being the overtime period. If
that happens.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, you know, college overtime, it's a little easier to coach.
There are no actual possessions.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Just run the field goal kicker out, rit's go, We're
gonna kick. What do you mean you're gonna kick?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Now?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It's one play, but I want to kick. No, it's
I'm the head coach. This is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Can I can I like us fl Can I just
go for three and avoid the overtime altogether?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Step Curry's not available. We're gonna move the ball back
to exactly Okay, Yeah, we're gonna throw a hail Mary
from midfield. How many points do you want if you
get it? Fifteen? We're down by two.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It's rocking jock. Really, it's the third overtime is mine?
By the way, I love doing the rock and jock.
It would be pre recorded celebrity games of softball, for example,
and on the graphics. MTV would actually say, like about
to hit a double on the graphic and then swing there.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It is got to keep you tuned in.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Wow, it's good. You don't want any pop ups to shortstop?
I mean, come on, Oh, it sounds almost like when
we when we do this pop ups was VH one.
Actually it was how many how many Friday and Saturday
nights did my wife and I just spend doing nothing
but watching pop up video when it was on entertaining.
I was like, watching, Holy, this is George Michael's faith
(08:27):
video and see what it says? Oh, look at that?
What does it say there? What does it say there?
Doesn't say there, doesn't say there. Now you get it.
If we had all the behind the music's back in
the day, Oh.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I find out all you need to know about Susannah Hoff's.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Coming up next the Bengals, We're going to change lead singers.
But were they really going to change lead singers? But
did they really change lead singers? Coming up next they
remake a classic by Simon and Garfen.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
What if I told you, oh, that was a different channel.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Sorry. What if I told you you could walk like
an Egyptian all the way to the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame? What would you say? No? Now you
can get that if you watch the music channels on
uh now there's like a at the ones with no video.
I remember like two years ago there were like eight channels.
You had like your sixties, seventies, eighties, you got heavy metal,
(09:15):
you had holidays, holiday, holiday holidays right now you have
there's like eighty channels all the sub fifties holidays.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Sixties holidays, and music's holiday music.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Eighties, holiday, nineties holiday, heavy metal, heavy metal from the eighties,
hair metal with info at the bottom, right, hip hop,
old school hip hop right. And every time a video
would come on the screen, you wait, or the song
would come on, it would just be stills. It's just
stills of all the people from the band.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
On the holiday channel, It's just a picture of a
Percy Faith album or whatever, Carol.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And then you'd get a fact. Yeah you know what
you would say, Oh, look, here's it's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas. And the fact would be boo.
Did you know that Norway produces the most Christmas trees
year after year? That's good? Yeah, I mean you look,
maybe you can go win a trivial pursuit like pop
up video watching the screen wh listening to it. Yeah,
but I'm watching the screen. I'm watching that log and
every once in a while the screen change.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Hey, you know what I learned today about Natasha Beddingfield.
Let me tell you did you know that about her?
I always tried to try.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I believe she's the coach for the fourth overtime. I
got the she's got the betting.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Field A big song. Wasn't touch Betty Field. I don't know,
we're leaving no stir in Stone.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
On turt here.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I get that. Well, Steve de Sega coaching the overtime permission,
I mean, how do you how do you with a
straight face say this is what we're going to do.
Do you have a head coach in mine? Uh? Yeah,
I got four of them? Wait what yes? But there's
three games? Yeah? Can these guys split one game? Sure?
I mean, this is this is a this is a
(10:44):
laughing stock. Four guys are going to coach three games.
What if the first guy wins like fifty, if he
goes and dominates, you have to turn it over. It's like, no, no,
We're gonna go to the just getting things started. I'm
trying to build a resume.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Michigan is distributing its pocket full of sunshine. I believe that.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I got that already, looked it up.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
But you know, hey, jump back in.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That was That's one of my favorite scenes in a
movie the last few years, is Winning Easy A when
she gets the card going, that's it, And then there's
a montage of her just listening to it over and
over again.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Then you just starts singing it.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I got You're dancing around. She keeps opening the card going,
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta,
I gotta, I gotta do that. I gotta puck, I gotta,
I gotta. You've all done that with a greeting card
you had that had some recording in it. A very
underrated movie, Easy fantast my favorite Emastone movie. I'm gonna
be yeah, oh yeah, yeah, easy A was real spider Man.
(11:45):
Spider Man, that's not an Mstone movie. She was just
in that movie. What about City of Stars again? She
could sing, he could not let me say let me
say it again. I will never be a part of
Dwyll More's Uh. Easy A is my favorite Emmastone movie. Easy,
but Goswig does a hell of it. I'm just ken, no, no.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I just don't like Emma Stone. She was rooting for
the Padres in the playoffs at Yeah, like Padres eat
all the fans they can get. All they have is
her in Fendley, So I mean they need more than that. No,
I just as time goes.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
As time goes on, and I'll tell you this because
we told you in five years, we'll look back and
and and people are gonna are we talking about tonight?
Five years people? Anyway, people are gonna look back and go, really,
la that one best picture, that one, that one, that
one best picture. No, it did not. The guy could
remember the envelope they screwed up. Oh but he won
Best Director. One she won and he won Best Director. Right,
(12:43):
I think I think day, I think he won Best Director,
which I remember.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Really that was that six Oscars, It says.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
The actress, director, score, cinematography, production design, and sound editing.
I'm watching him going this is not a great movie. Now.
The last twenty minute of La La Land I think
is phenomenal. Yeah, I think it's out. It's the last
twenty minutes is like, wow, that's really really something. But
the first hour and thirty minutes.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
But I repeat, she can sing in that movie.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yes, and but and it's like people just decided, Oh,
it doesn't matter. No, it's part of the movie. Part
of the movie. If a guy can't sing, I'm not
just gonna go oh, too bad, he can't sing. That's
part of the movie. That's like saying, hey, he played
a quarterback. Yeah, but he threw three picks in the
second quarter. Yeah but he threw these other touchdowns, but
he threw three packs.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Oh, that's what fantasy cornerbacks, fantasy owners are saying about
their quarterbacks who can run, Who cares if they can't pass.
It's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I gotta pucket, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta,
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
put Harmon's. Harmon's frantically looking up Natasha Bettingfield stats and
facts now so you can just hit it.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
We at the Kruella movie. You didn't like the cruell
That was good.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
That was good. Corrella was good. But again easy easy
A was really it was really good, very underrated. That's
where that's where she gained all her midge of I'm
someone who was older and more mature than my years,
kind of like what what what Natalie Portman when she
did the Professional and then she did he was a
kid in Yeah, Beautiful Girls, and it's like, oh, this
(14:12):
is someone's soul and can play somebody. That's what That's
that Okay, that told me Emmistone was.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Gonna so not Aloha where she was a native Hawaiian.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
No, no, no, I think she would do that again.
Make that decision again. Although no, crazy stupid love. Second
favorite movie, it's not an Emmstone movie. But every time
I hear the name David lind Hagen, I just left
David Davidlyn lind Haggen linn.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Houg skipping the Spider Man.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
He just glossed over with Spider Man's were fine, but
they weren't Emma Stone movies like those are more Emma
Stone movies.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yeah, that's like saying Samuel L. Jackson has grossed the
most money in the his well, you know, in every movie.
He was in Jurassic Park and Star Wars, so let's
start there.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Well, yeah, I mean I think I think he was
in the most in the I think he was in
the most movies in the nineties and all the stuff
he has done in the last twenty years, he appeared
in the most movies, like with a certain number of
lines like where you where you're considered a part of
the cast, not just a walk on part or lie
like he had the most he was he had the
most roles in movies in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
This says Emma Stone played Lori Partridge in the New
Partridge Family TV movie in two thousand and five.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I did not see that, but now I want to. Wow,
I really want to see that. Yeah, wow, I really knew.
I didn't know it. I did. I didn't know either. Hey,
Hello World is a song that we're singing. Come on,
get happy. Yeah, I want to see that now. I
know people that work with Bonaducci a long time. They
have stories.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
He made an appearance apparently in that movie, and the
part of Reuben Kinkay, the manager, was played by French Stewart.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Wow ooh okay. You know if I remember and I
remember this, and I do remember, I remember having the
biggest crush on Shirley Jones. Oh who did I love Shirley?
I'm like, oh, I'm like ten, and I really like
the one who played the mom. And then she said,
you mean Lori Partridge, No, the one who plays the mom?
(16:05):
You mean Laurie No, the one who's the mom. I

Stars could have come back with any of those songs
we were talking.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I Think I Love You.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
We had Partridge Family themes. So I could have any
of that, and any of that could have come back.
Come on, world, there's a song that we're singing, Come on,
get happy. We could have me to end with Tears
for Fears. I think I love you any of those,
So you could have had any of those songs. I'm
gonna be honest. It was like shooting fish in a barrel.
I'm gonna be honest. The only thing I heard when
you guys were talking earlier was spider Man, because I
(17:51):
was thinking, William Dafoe, spider Man, spider Man, what are
you doing out there? Spider manider Man? That's pretty the thing.
I've got a pretty good William to defoe foe. But you
you failed miserably at the music assignment that I thought
you would have here for. I mean anything, everybody listens, go,

Fit any of that. I don't know who those people
(18:12):

Nasha Beddingfield. How old that man he wasn't listening after?
Was pocket full of Sunshine? It's a long time was
it a long time ago? What's the other sunshine? Oh,

and seven. Oh, doesn't you could have come back with
simple plan then I have some our lady piece. No, no,
you failed. You just say I'll take the elk ta ta,
I'm taking the l I'm just I'm just not sure
what you're expecting from me, any of the call back,
any of those calls.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
You don't appreciate your joke, soul Man.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, wow, you're right, I did fail on the assignment.
That's just a fa. I mean, Patrick even admitted to,
you know, going down the rabbit hole of looking up
Shirley Jones pictures. I did. I haven't saw a couple
of pictures. I see what Jason's talking. She had the
short hair. Did you ever see the Saturny Live skit
(19:17):
sketch where they had them and the fat Albert kids? Uh,
they were now kind of bat a battle with the bands. No,
I never seen some next level stuff right there. And
the Brady kids are part of it, you know, it's
it's a whole thing. No, No, I love Shirley Jones.
And she would wear like the the mini skirts. I
was a look at the end in the sixties, like
the mini skirt that hit like just above the knee.
(19:38):
I was like, oh man, I really like Shirley Jones.
I feel like we have a podcast coming of years
here on Fox Sports Radio. That's part of the heart,
you know, watching part I always thought that she was
mad every time Keith got to sing a song like
she was guy. You know, I'm kind of the singer's part. Well,
(19:58):
I mean it's this is built around me. Yeah, David
Cass It's like, right, it's like being Ron Howard on
Happy Days and then all of a sudden it's Henry
Winkler and the Fonds. Well that was Family Ties too.
It's about the parents. No, it's Michael Jeff Fox. I
don't know if I want to do the show. Michael Gross,
Meredith Baxter, Bernie get over there. And Uncle Ned came
in and stole a couple of us. Oh yeah, Tom
Hanks is uncle oh Uncle Ned. Those might have been
(20:20):
my favorite episodes of Family Ties with Uncle Ned. No,
he's good, Alex adn't have a glass of Marachiano cherries
with your uncle Ned. Did you get a problem, Uncle Nettu.
Today is the four year anniversary, Cherry of Andrew Luck's
retirement from the NFL. We've talked about Anthony Richardson tonight
and him having a good night getting the team in
(20:41):
the end zone a couple of times. And look, he
was made the starter because the Colts want to move
on from the Jonathan Taylor era. And I'm telling you
he'll be traded by tomorrow. Jim Orsay is a very
emotional guy. This whole situation with Taylor is emotional. Coming
off tonight, the anniversary of Luck, Richardson playing well. He
wants to move on from the Jonathan Taylor era. He's
(21:01):
going to trade Jonathan Taylor tomorrow. And you know what
Gardner Minshew is yeah, I mean, yeah, oh, he's fine,
he's a full hero whatever. But in the end, it's
if you need to go down that well you can.
So with today being the four year anniversary of Andrew
(21:23):
Luck retiring, with so much time to look in the
rear of your mirror, now now you know kids have
started college and graduated going. I kept waiting my whole
career in college for Andrew Luck to return freshman year,
sophomore year, junior year, senior year is a blur. But
he never came back. The most bizarre part of this
four years ago because the videos everywhere today of him
(21:43):
coming off the field, off the field the last time
when when news broke he retired. He retired in the middle.
The news broke in the middle of a game the
Colts were playing Adam Schefter. News that shocked the sports
world because it's one of those you remember where you
were when here's one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL,
one of the most popular athletes in sports decides to retire.
(22:05):
And it's so bizarre because it happened during a game
that Luck wasn't playing. It's a preseason game, and he's
on the sideline, He's in Colt scared, he's the he's
got the ear piece in and this story starts to
get out there. You hear that weird buzz of the
stadium that Luck is retiring, and his teammates are walking
up to him saying, are you quitting? He was coming
(22:25):
back from injury at that point, and it ends with
him running off the field after the game is over
and he hugs a couple of guys. He gets to
the tunnel and fans are booing him because he's retiring.
And it's just such such a bizarre scene that I
keep going back to both sides, both the Colts and
Andrew Luck knew this was going to happen. They knew
Andrew Luck was going to retire. They knew what was
gonna happen, and they still allowed him and thought it
(22:48):
was a good idea either of them did, for him
to be on the sidelines during the game. They knew
this story was gonna break. They knew Adam Schefter was
going to break this story. And he's on the sideline.
If he's not on the team anymore, he's not on
the team. Why is he on the sideline? Because you
know the players are gonna find out because you have
players that aren't playing that they're checking their phones. People
are yelling from the stands, hey Schefter's got it. Andrew
(23:08):
Luck is retiring? What Andrew Luck is retiring? And it
becomes a huge distraction, and you end with him coming
off getting booed something he says he's never forgotten him
getting booed going off field less time. Who thought that
was a good idea?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Don't?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I don't. That's such a bizarre moment because that's Andrew
Luck's career. What do you remember Andrew lu If you
think of Andrew Luck's name, it's him coming off the
field getting booed after he retired. Because everybody, if you
weren't watching the game, you tuned in and every other
cutaway was of Andrew Luck and the announcers, Well, Andrew Luck,
who apparently is retiring from the NFL, still there on
(23:43):
the sideline. Don't know why he is there? I mean,
I don't understand why is he still there? If he's retired,
why is he still there? Why is this going on?
And that's the image you get, not anything else from
Luck with standing a hit to his kidney or his
spleen and throwing a touchdown, or the big comeback against
the Chiefs in the playoffs, But it's that him running
off the field with a with a with a big
thousand yard stare look in his eyes, going what what
(24:04):
is going? Who thought that was a good idea? That?
That's what I still can't get past four years now,
if he's going to retire or he's not on the sideline, well,
he's heard, he's not on the sideline. Okay, we're moving on.
We're talking about the game. Then if he retires during
the game, okay, then it's a story. But it's not
a big thing on the sideline of the Colts. It's
not a it's not a story that they're distracted by.
And if you want to look back at the first
(24:26):
time when you saw that boy, the Colts had problems. Uh,
you know Colin talked about it earlier today that you
know Andrew luck and and and Peyton Manning were able
to to uh gloss over the trouble that Jim Irsay
has had as an owner because the Earth has had
a lot of really bad headlines. But if you want
to look back at the moment where you understood, hey,
(24:46):
or the beginning of the Colts are just a mess.
I mean, that's your moment where your owner who knew
this was allowed this to happen and everybody he's on
the sideline, he's gonna stay during the game. That's that's
a decision that was made that Pulls had. That's really
the beginning of the descent of the cults to get
to where we are right now, which is him pushing
his best player out the door because he wants more money. Yeah,
(25:09):
it's the curiosity of the timing, right, because the fourth
quarter of the preseason game against my beloved Chicago Bears,
when the chefter tweet goes out, and I guess you're
hoping that whoever in the building knows it, they can
get the game to finish and then if you've got
(25:30):
a ten am, hey, show up, We've got an announcement
for you that you can eke out another twelve hours. Unfortunately,
someone in the room decided that wasn't going to be
the case all right, whether it was someone on the staff,
coaching staff, whether it was out of the ursay offices,
because they were salty. Right, he has the emotional moment
(25:51):
of I'm not letting him have his moment. The home
crowd could let him have this, but that he treated
him with such love and reverence thereafter with him and
Ballard about how you go through it right and the
process uh they're in. So it's really one of the
more confusing things. But yeah, there there is a very
(26:11):
checkered pass for jim irsay, right, many people go back
to the briefcase, uh and what was found therein you know,
and and some will run jokes. I hope everybody gets
the help they need for for whatever they're dealing with. Uh,
And you get into ownership responsibilities and you know what
(26:32):
what what it all comes down to in terms of
you know, punitive measures or help measures that the league
sets up. But certainly we we've seen him handle things
much differently and the kid gloves out right, Hey, keep
those bonuses again, hoping he would come back to play
at some point. But now you know, you're you're convinced
(26:52):
that by the time you and I gather tomorrow afternoon,
that Jonathan Taylor is going to be playing for somebody else,
new team somewhere else. But but yeah, it's it's a long,
storied history with a lot of uh, low lights mixed
they're in right for Andrew Luck, you've got this or
you've got the hanging of a banner for showing up
at an AFC title game. Those are the two moments
(27:14):
in his his pro career, right yeah, right, draft day,
The fact that it was such a big deal to
get to a title game that they put up a
banner and then him walking off to booze as. Everybody
had a million questions of like, how hurt is he?
What's going on? Is he okay? All of these things,
and then for years it's still been the especially when
(27:35):
they started putting all the band aids on at the
quarterback position. It's like, are you still holding a candlelight
visual every night? That is suddenly number twelve's gonna come
walking back through that door. I don't think he is
still doing it. I'm gonna make Richardson the starting quarterback.
That's going to really make Andrew Luck make a decision.
After four years, you got to decide whether you're coming
(27:55):
back or not. Now, I drafted a guy for overall,
but I'll still kick him to the curve. If you're
gonna come back. You're my guy, man, you're my guy.
You were supposed to be the josen Wine right after
Peyton Manning. Nothing look in recent memory other than wen
bin Yama going to the Spurs, you know, the team
of his childhood, or Jokic who was wearing nugget stuff
(28:18):
back when he was you know, the jokicch that everybody
likes to mock. The chubby kid picks from back in
the day. I mean Andrew Luck coming out of the
into the draft and into the NFL the year that
Peyton Manning is coming off of all the next surgeries
and everything else. So you're able to, you know, clap
your hands and move on into what's supposed to be
(28:38):
the next generational quarterback. I don't think anything's been set
up that well in the NFL, but you got a
couple of years out of it, and all these years later,
maybe they finally have their next In richardson Fox Sports
Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Indulging in my self defeat, This is nowhere as old
as what you guys are talking about. This is like
ninety nine. This is like twenty four years old this song. Yeah, yeah,
and Natasha Bettingfield was like two thousand or seven. Yeah,
it's about fifteen years old. I don't believe you. I
think she's from the seventies. She does sound like she's
(33:52):
from the seventies, Natasha Bettingfield. I really haven't thought about
her much. She might as well have been from the seventies.
So there you go. I gotta I got the play
of the night coming your way in a couple of minutes.
But you just start. Steve di Seger say it. The
plan right now for show Hao Tani is to hit
the rest of the season, but he's not going to pitch.
After the breaking news last night around this time last
(34:14):
night that Otani is going to not pitch the rest
of twenty twenty three because of a tear and the
ulner collateral ligment of his elbow the UCL and it's
such a big deal because this turns baseball on its ear,
it turns the sports world on its ear. Sho Hao
Tani is the star of Major League Baseball. He's one
(34:35):
of the few guys he MESSI Lebron Rogers. Whenever they
do something, we pay attention. You're really just trying to
jam that Rogers, Rogers, the second Rogers, Rogers, Oh, rest
in Peace, discout double check. So we don't even have
that anymore anymore. We still he's too good for him
now Rogers. Now he's hanging out and stars like Ralph Maccio.
(34:56):
He's got no time for those things, going to Broadway out.
But Billy Flynn, mister Billy Flayon sings the press conference
rag notice how his mouth never moves almost. So we're
in an error now where baseball is changed in twenty
four hours because Shoeo Tani is still a big star.
And with all the debate of all what's he gonna
(35:18):
be now in his contract? What's his next contract going
to be in pitching? I got news for you. He's
now going to get an Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper type
contract because he's still a great hitter and he's gonna
get that contract. No team is gonna give him the
even ridiculous for baseball money that we thought he was
(35:38):
going to get six seven every penny if he paid off.
But yeah, because he's not the unicorn anymore. This is
two major arm injuries in five years. No team is
ever gonna trust that he could ever pitch again. No
one's gonna give him that money thinking you can come
back and pitch hitting. Yes, and maybe he gets a
(35:58):
little bit more than Judge or Harper because he's a
bigger name. He'll bring more people to the ballpark. Otanni,
bobble head is still a big deal. Him succeeding is
still a bigger story than they are. But the unicorn
is gone. I mean, can he come back and and
maybe pitch? Yeah? Maybe, But is he still gonna be
as effective as starter? The guy's gonna be thirty. You
(36:19):
don't know what this is going effect that's gonna have
on his arm. Look at Jacob de Grom, he can't
even get back on the field after a couple of
arm injuries. Could he come back and maybe close? Yeah,
I could see that for Otani. He closes and there's
no back to back days he can pitch. I could
see that maybe for him, But he's never gonna be
the same when it comes to pitching again, and no
team that signs him is going to pay him for that.
(36:41):
He's gonna try, He'll try to come back, but is
he Can you ever say a guy is really gonna
be the same after two really bad arm injuries. It
just doesn't work that way. As superhuman as Otani is,
it doesn't work that way. The error of him as
a unicorn has gone now and it's Otani slugger. Maybe
he'll pitch a little bit and we're gonna wind up
looking back at the three years he spent as a
(37:04):
starting pitcher and slugger and go I can't believe he
did it for as long as he did. But that's
the deal now with Otani, that extra part of him,
that unicornness, that's gone now, right, and he's a star player,
global phenomenon, and we'll always have plenty of video highlights
to go back to some of the great starts, and
certainly days where he's hitting home runs and pitching, well, sure, yeah,
(37:27):
those are great. Those would seem to be history. You're
not paying him thinking you're getting twenty starts out of him.
Fifteen starts. Maybe at some point you start working him
back into a bullpen situation. We talked about it a
little bit last night that you know, closing again, it's
all about arm strength and what you can do right,
what's the stress level that he's going to be able
(37:48):
to take on once he gets through whatever the rehabilitation
processes for this. But you're signing into a contract, Yeah,
you're taking into account, especially if you're going to a
new franchise, what that means for ticket sales and local
ad sales, bringing in Japanese advertisers and business partners whatever. Yeah,
there's certainly a lot of money to be made there,
(38:10):
but it's not going to jump you back and vulture
into those numbers, uh, that we were talking about in
terms of three quarters of a billion dollars and all
of that as of what forty eight hours ago. And
I know that it's such a shock to hear this
story now, to hear just what's happened to him in
the span of a day, But in the end, for like,
(38:32):
for you and I, it's not really shocking because I
can't say that this is something that was expected. But
it's not surprising to hear a guy like Otani who
puts a lot of stress on his body, playing every
day anyway and pitching every fifth day. It's not surprising
because pictures get hurt all the time there all the time. Yeah,
(38:52):
I like I don't want to go down the injury like, yeah,
for ten years. I mean, it's starting pittures. Doesn't happen
that every arm only has so many pitches in it?
And like I said, it's not that it was to
be expected, but it's not surprising because this is what
happens to pitchers and unfortunately this happened to Otani and
it's awful for him, it's awful for the sport. But
(39:13):
this is something that we see quite regularly, and especially
when you throw up. On top of the fact that, okay,
he's pitching every fifth day, he's also playing every fifth day.
That's a lot of stress, that's a lot of wear
and tear, and so it's even more to think that
he made it this far. We might look back and go,
what an amazing accomplishment he did it this far in
Major League BASEB well, and thinking about the fact that
he's also been carrying his franchise the last couple of years.
(39:36):
Because this guy that was supposed to be the tag
team partner. If you want to go six man tag
and bring in Anthony Rendon, you know, Rendon and Trout
can't stay on the field to give them any kind
of relief in the batting order. So it's you know,
really been the Otani show these last couple of years,
and what a great show it's been. But now we
look for whatever the resolution becomes in the next phase
(39:57):
of his career. Time now for the play that brought
to you by Progressive Insurance. Progressive making things even easier.
They'll help you bundle your home in car insurance together
so you can save on both. Learn more at Progressive
dot com or call one eight hundred Progressive. Just reality
about Otoni. Sometimes reality sucks, and that's what it is
for him. But we closed with the play of the
night and we had two big NFL preseason games that
(40:19):
we talked a lot about Anthony YOI did Kenny Pickett.
But our play of the day comes from the game
of the night and the best team that played tonight,
the Winnipeg Blue Bombers battle line. He takes it upside,
He's got some room. It's at the ten five.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Just like that, The Boers go back in.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Front, put that touchdown run by the leading rusher in
the CFL, Pradie Olivera TSN on the call. They went
on to blow out the Montreal Alouettes forty seven to seventeen.
Really didn't see that happening. We had a close game
when you and I sat down, and then it was
blowout Central. The road to the Gray Cup goes through Winnipeg.
(41:01):
They moved to nine and two on the season. Winnipeg No, No,
Winnipeg TJ. Winnipeg Jets to nine and two on the season.
TJ had to do it, didn't you. I hate you.
