MLB Playoff update for you right now.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Arizona lead San Francisco five to one top of the fifth.
Looks like the Diamondbacks potentially gonna stop that slide. Padres
lead the Dodgers two to one middle of the third inning.
It is an absolute must win for the Dodgers because
if they lose, they will be a game up on
San Diego in the NL West with another game in
(01:16):
hand against them. The Dodgers are just absolutely free falling.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
And guys, as we speak, fans are ripping seats out
of the coliseum and huggling.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Oh, yes, I've been watching that. I've been watching that.
It reminds me of when when the when the Jets left,
of course, because here's the thing. Of course, the Jets'
final game, right when they left for the Metal Lands,
right in nineteen eighty three, was against the Steelers. Also
turned out to be Terry Bradshaw's last game as an
NFL quarterback, right los, Yes, because Bradshaw, who had not
(01:49):
been healthy somehow he comes off the bench and he
and he and he throws like two touchdowns and.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
He starts and that's that's his last game.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Like they didn't make the playoffs, but it was the
last game in Chase Stadium because the Jets were leaving
and people were just pulling up seats and taking them
with me. My uncle went to the game and he said,
on the way back on the subway, there were guys
just with seats from Shade Stadium that I took what
they just ripped them out and took it. And that's
what's happening now, people just ripping out the seats in
(02:16):
the coliseum and taking them as they leave.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
It's just like a video that started yesterday and now
it continues up.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
All right, Well, they didn't do anything to those guys.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
They don't realize that those seats are ass well.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
What they don't you'd say, nice?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
What if someone wants to sit in those seats in
the farm And there's plenty of I did not get it.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, you didn't see the new as hat.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I just know I don't know. I'm now terrible. Okay,
is it really so bad?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Oh no, No, you can say it's ass.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
You can really that's what you're advertising. I love wearing
a's gear. Okay, I gotta see it. Okay, all right,
it's not good for anybody. Send it to me and
I'll see it.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
But you know, leaving and certainly there's a business in
the Memorabilian folks set set up a part of their
their man cave, woman cave, whatever viewing area for football
games or whatever, where they'll have old old time seats
and those are part of stadium sales.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Oh yeah, that's the worst ones. That's the worst, right, Yeah,
it says ass on the hat that's an AD on
a trailed off. That's an ass. It just says ads
the worst. It's the worst hat in the world.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Right, it's not a fading, you know, contrail of an ass.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It's just says ass.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Yeah, and they want for people.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Are you kidding to have that hat? People will buy
that hat? It does, really, people absolutely buy it. Tell
you the state of affairs. I mean, there's no question
about it. People make mistakes on it because they'll think, oh,
this is a cool I gotta have this hat. It
says ASS on it, and they'll spend sixty dollars to
get it. By the time you spend forty nine dollars
on it and have it chipped, and then they're gonna go,
(04:01):
why the hell did I buy this? That was? That
was that was an impulse buy. That was just STI
It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
But it happens like I was gonna buy him one
of those Jets helmet ones that just came out, but I.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Figured he'd just leave it, you know, on a table somewhere.
Oh yeah, no, no, no, no, I don't mind the jets.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It's the snapback one, right, Yeah, I can't wear a
snap back my head is too big. I can't wear
I'm not gonna wear a snap back where it's only
I can only do the last one, the only I
can only do the last snap That looks awful.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
It looks terrible. I can't do that. Do you see
behind your head when you're walking?
Speaker 6 (04:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yo, but other people do. I can't can't, I can't.
I can't be about what people think I'm looking that.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
No, I want people to take me serious on here
and say crazy ass stuff every night. And now all
of a sudden, you're gonna care because it's on the
last wrong of a hat.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
No, that looks awful, because it looks awful, all right,
you got.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
An exploding head.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
It's just kidding, just because some of the outfits you
walk out of the house.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And last week you walked out with.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
A white Sox hat, no Northwestern t s shirt and
bears shorts.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Man, they were not.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
They were there, Yes they were.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Were they blue and orange? Where they bears colors? Were
they blue an orange?
Speaker 5 (05:11):
See, that's a whole different story. You were telling it
like I was mcalhanney and you were a be.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
You had a Northwestern shirt that said Northwestern on it,
You had an as you had white hat, ass hat
he said, it said white sox on. You decided I'm
gonna wear all my stuff. Man, I'm sorry. I'm not
going to walk around with a one with a one
snap back on that.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Bear shorts is what they are on third deck.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Not do brough Shawn Johnson.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
You should have picked him up on waiver wire, like
I told you, because he's going to become the guy
because DeAndre Swift steaks.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
No, hey, no, no I did. But I took your lesson.
I took you advice. I got him in one of
the leagues. I'm excited about that.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, it was. I was a little nervous. I was
the only one to bid on him, and I'm like,
too much, all right, Harmon? Not eight bucks? A couple
of bucks. I have the one hundred hundred for the season.
I've been eight bucks on him. I thought that was
worth it.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
You're you're, you know, playing keep away from someone else.
When he gets the job.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Speaking of the NFL, it is now within the next month,
I can tell you Deshaun Watson is losing his job.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
He's not going to be the starting quarterback in Cleveland. Right,
we said, Linds up with the timeline that we set out.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Ye from the beginning, we told you Jamis Winston is
going to play the majority of the games here barring
injury in Cleveland because Deshaun Watson A is no good
and B They're not going to go through another season
where the team plays well but the quarterback position holds
them back.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And we told you this all off season and what's.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Gone on so far with it with the Cleveland Browns,
That's exactly what's happened. Right, And then you had this
from today Deshaun Watson's press conference, which is part for
the course for everything he has said throughout his time
this season, and before he gets asked about, uh, would
they call more running plays for him as a quarterback,
and he said, no, no, I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I don't do it. I'm not a running back.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I'm a quarterback, not doing it, not doing I'm not No,
I'm not going to ask them. I'm only going to
run if i have to. Oh gee, that's great. Thanks
a lot to Sean. Thanks for saying, hey, you'll do
whatever it takes for the team to win.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Then he gets asked about why he missed a wide
open receiver on on a big fourth down throw.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And here was Deshaun Watson's answer on.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Because other people are not in the film room, so
that not everyone knows exactly what the red was.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
That was a decoy.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
So that's the difference. Everyone can pause the tape and say, hey,
you know, he should have thrown a here, should have
thrown a here. You know, every quarterback deal with that.
So if you choose one play and that's that's the
play out of the whole game that everyone is calling,
and so be it. It is what it is. You know,
no one's in those feminom. No one is making those decisions.
So I go based off of what is Ken Dorsey
(07:53):
and Kevin Stefanski is saying. And you know, on that decision,
they made a good play. They got jammed up on
the slant. That's what we did the previous time when
we scored a touchdown. I did the same as that
reed And I hate Jerry, So did I see it
wrong with then?
Speaker 6 (08:08):
You know?
Speaker 7 (08:08):
So like I said before, I just I go based
off what Kevin and Keann is making those decisions and
how they're great.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
So just to recap, I'm not gonna run because I
don't want to unless I absolutely have to, because I
really don't want to go all out to try to
win games.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
And I missed a wide.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Open receiver because he was a decoy, and that's why
I didn't throw on fourth and one. We need a
one yard I missed him because he was a decoy. Okay,
now it no longer matters whether Deshaun Watson is right
about this this decoy thing or not, because you just
look at his answers when he talks about, no, I
don't want any more running plays.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I'm not a runing quarter. I'm not gonna do it.
I don't want to do unless I have to.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Like he's done, you should not be surprised at any
of what's been going on with Deshaun Watson. He has
seemed detached from football since he came back. He signed
the big contract, and he has been detached from everything.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I heard Dan Patrick say he plays sometimes like a zombie,
and that's a great analogy. But overall, everything he has
ever done, whether it's on the field, whether it's an
interview after, whether it's a press conference, he seems detached,
like I really just don't care about this and this
is not going to go on any longer because things
(09:22):
are not reversing. Deshaun Watson basically was given the hey,
this is your last chance last couple weeks after opening
week of the season. This was, Hey, you need to
pick it up now. This is the wake up call.
And he's not nearly been good enough the last couple
of weeks. Right at certain spurts. He's been a little
bit better here and there, but overall you're not getting
(09:42):
anywhere what you need to near what you need to
get for him. And the fact is that Brown's fans
have had it, the team has most likely had it,
and if they make a change, no one's gonna care.
No one's gonna care that, Oh, we paid him all
this money. It's gonna be finally we got somebody in
and maybe you can start building some positivity towards a team.
There's no energy about this team. There's no positivity. There's
(10:03):
no hey, we got it, We're close. This is we're
watching a quarterback who just doesn't seem to care as
much as you need to, and we're watching to go
out there every week and underachieve. We can't keep doing that,
and it may be after this week. It may just
be one more game, but they have to make a
change because they can't give the season away. We're still
in the mid to late part of September. I told
(10:25):
you by week five ish, we're gonna see Jameis Winston.
This might be it. This might at some point the
Browns are gonna say, we just can't do it where
we're gonna lose every game, We're gonna lose the team
because if we don't make a change a quarterback, the
rest of the team is gonna quit because they're gonna say,
if he's.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Not trying, I'm not trying.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And then suddenly we're in one of those awful seasons
where we're just exing off the days till the end
of the season, and there there could be changes and
coaching changes and all kinds of crazy stuff could happen.
So they know they're gonna have to do it for
the team, and I tell you it could be after
this week. This certainly didn't do him any favors with
what he said about how, yeah, I don't want to
run unless I have to. Oh sorry, sorry, I'm sorry.
(11:02):
You know you want to do what it takes to win. Sorry,
if I forgot that about you.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Just unless it's from massage.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It's not even about the massage. This is about what
he is as a quarterback, right like that. Stuff's gone
like that, stuff's gone from a few No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
There's still there's still one pending. Don't you remember it's
still pending. No no, no, no, it's still pending. But
this is But you don't even have to get into that.
This is about what's going on on the field, and
he's been terrible.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You don't even need.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
To get to the whole. Hey, what's going on? Look,
we told you off season. They'll do it, and they'll
figure out the money in a few months. They'll figure
out the money in February or March, whatever it is.
But they can't keep going. So Deshaun Watson, I mean,
maybe one more week he'll start. But the Browns are
gonna have to say, they're gonna have to swallow. They're
gonna have to swallow their pride and everything else that
goes along with it and take a deep breath and say,
(11:47):
we're making a change a quarterback and this is the
change for the season. And not only that, but Deshaun
Watson won't even be around the team. He'll be someone
that you know, you're you're, you're you're deactivated and you're
inactive and you're away from the team for the rest
of the year. Yeah, this treatment, and it's gonna happen soon.
It's gonna happen in the next week or two. This
is the way it is going, and it's not gonna
be reversed.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Three straight games under two hundred yards passing for the year,
completing just fifty seven point eight percent, and you can say, well,
Nick Chubb's out there, you don't have the balance. Ford's
averaging five yards of pop on twenty nine carries, Foreman's
at two point nine.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Watson himself, he's actually carried.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
The ball fourteen times success rate six yards per carry
as he scrambled and made plays with his legs.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
But you know, the answers are terse And I.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Think this is interesting because just like you and I
were talking about Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars aren't sexy. Nobody wants
to talk Jaguars football. We do it because look, there's
thirty two teams. He's a former number one pick, and
everybody annoyed at him as the chosen ones, so he's
fair and right for criticism as well.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
For Shaun Watson, I get it. It's an unsavory topic
to go through, even if.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
You just leave it at the football like, it's still
in your brain and burned in your brain. Everything in
the past and all the allegations and the piling up
of them that any other quarterback would get more heat
against what he's put on the field. But it's all right.
The Browns were supposed to be good, but they got
that guy, so they don't even.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Want to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
So, well, we'll pick up that chore and do it
here as we did before the season. You got a
good roster. A bunch of these guys are gonna need
to get paid in short order. Nick Chubb's gonna come
back and give you another boost to what Jerome Ford's
already done in your offense. You can't waste years right
(13:40):
saying eventually it'll get right. How long a sample sized
do you a get? They say, well, it's only been
fourteen games. Fifteen games over several years, right, he's held
your organization hostage based on the bad contract given by
Haslam and the front office that is assembled there.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
All the things they did right really butchered this one.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
That it's held you hostage and from moving forward because
with the adequate quarterback plays like your Jets last year,
with adequate quarterback play, who.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
The hell those with the ceiling could have been?
Speaker 5 (14:13):
And right now they're doing the same thing you You
would think a loss to the Giants that everybody thought
was the worst team in the world. Oh, by the way,
they should be two and one and they're gonna beat
the Cowboys tomorrow night. Spoiler alert, that.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
That would be the wake up call to just say, hey,
we need to turn to page.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome. It's gonna
happen next couple of weeks. That we told you all
off season. First we said mid season by week eight,
he's gonna start half the season, Jameis Winston. Then as
things have gone on, it's not gotten better. He's still
the same. You just can't continue. You can't. You can't
his poor play and lack of accountability, they're just they're
(14:51):
they're having enough of it and they're gonna lose a
team if they don't make a change.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
That's why the change is coming.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Well, Jamis has been making crazy ass speeches like he's
the starter.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Anyway, He's been getting ready. I mean he's getting ready.
He's got to have the new Eaton W speech.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Now you gotta have the data eats.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, can't bring the old Eaton W. You's gotta have
the new Eaton WS. Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Right uh exit out bout a Fresca exit swollen dome.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
You heard it last Friday, Stanford fight song.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
They didn't, They didn't play it at the game. I
didn't listen to it at the game. Just so you know.
I didn't listen to it, all right now.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Yes, all right, but now there is an adaptation by
that well free or Bad Company, however you prefer to
h to name them. They were free and then they
became Bad Company. But yes, there is an old old
fight song, but it's not nearly as interesting as all
right now, So there you go. But you just so
(17:47):
you know, Cardinal is the new Orange.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah. I didn't listen to it last week. Didn't want
to listen to it.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Now.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I have no response to that. I have no respons
where it's smith.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
I just I'm just glad we were able to open
the A C. C our History and the ACC with
a victory over Syracuse. Yeah, as long as the as
long as the ACC is going to exist between the like,
which could be another one six months this wait.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Does Syracuse ever play a game at Stanford like this?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yes? Or no? Do they ever?
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Probably they ever played the game at Syracuse and got
a w Okay, that's all that matters. It's okay, Friday
field goal last second, went on fourth and nine. Beautiful thing.
It's I really do I love the man man a
man coverage on our best receiver.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I when I.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
When we like, we have one first round pick on
our team, one first round pick, and you guys played
a manned man singled.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Up when I got a critical coverage.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
When I saw that, I said, I said to Harmon,
I said, what the hell defense are we in on
this play? What the hell do you defensively in on
this play? That doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Died a little
bit on Friday night, won that game, we'd have been
in the top twenty five, not just the also receiving
(19:13):
votes category, I mean the top twenty five.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Man.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
And okay, you know what listen that was last week?
R E L A s Y. Yeah, listen. I gotta
remember what's important.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
I'm relaxed.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I'm relaxed.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
I'm very relaxed.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I remember, listen, I remember what's important. Gott you want
to talk about nerves right now? What I'm nervous about.
I don't know who's more nervous. Jerry Jones for the
game tomorrow night or me, because I don't know how
many Margerita's Jason Cole has had tonight.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I don't know what I.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Know who's more nervous. I usually don't. I don't drink
on Wednesdays very often now Thursdays and Fridays. Yeah, if
you can catch me on Friday, could be a good night.
If you catch me after a Cowboys a Cowboys loss
on Thursday as a giant magnificent, that's I'm not sure
who enjoys the Cowboys loss more me or stephen A.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Smith.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
That's really quite the competition.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Do you put the hat on and put a video
on social media if you just laughing smoking a cigar?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Like?
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Do you do that? No?
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I don't do that. It would be funny, but I
don't do that, mostly because I don't think they make
cowboy hats as big as my head is. Unfortunately, the
rather the rather enormous nogg and I got to admit that. So, so, yeah,
what's your head size? What?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I'm seven and three quarters? What's your heat size?
Speaker 6 (20:31):
We're mono and mono baby right there at seven and
three quarters each. Okay, that's right, it's tough. It's tough defined.
It really is stuff defined. I gotta say that anyways.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
So is it the Cowboy loss tomorrow night?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Is it going to be the Giant the redemption of
Daniel Jones tomorrow night?
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Good Lord? No, I mean Daniel Jones can't play. I
mean he's gonna seem Michael Parsons in this freaking at
the game's gonna be too pass for him, right. Oh, No,
I can hit. It's just a bad thing. Like now
they have they can make the game a little more
interesting than last year when it was both those games
(21:13):
would just beat down City. But you know, this is
the kind of game where the Cowboys come back and
they look really good and they usually then games like
this they run up the score because that's who they are.
But when you play against teams that are actually really tough,
(21:35):
they're not that tough. I mean, like that's that's the
problem with them. They're not tough upfront, particularly on the
defensive side. Right now, the defensive tackles are not very good.
Parsons doesn't want any part of contact. So this is
just who they are, who they are. I mean, they
were very fortunate that, I mean, John Harball last week.
(21:55):
In that game, I really didn't understand the third and
three pass when when Derek Henry is going for like
one fifty and you got you got Lamar Jackson, and
you're going shotgun putting the ball up in the air
on third and three with eight minutes left, Like what
are you doing? I mean that allowed that game to
become artificially closer because they scored there, they get the
(22:17):
on side kick, and they make it interesting at the end.
But that game should have been a fourteen to twenty
points win easily for the Ravens. That game was not
close in any way, shape or form. The Cowboys are
incredibly disappointed at this point. I'm here and enough said.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
I just seed Jerry to admit that Brandon Aubrey is
by far and away his best player.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Tell me I'm wrong, not gonna.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Not gonna happen one hundred million combined to his quarterback
and his wide receiver. But he didn't get him a
running back like you've brought Zeke and and it's just
amazing how much he hides from this after after and
(23:09):
gets away with it, really like he hides from it.
We all in comments, all of this stuff, but he
just he just keeps doing it, and he keeps coming
out and talking. I don't know, I've said all this
stuff about Jerry in the past. No, no owner undermines
his team better than Jerry does. And he's got talent,
(23:31):
but he undermines the constantly.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
No, but I love how he.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Came out when he was asked about Derek Harry says, oh,
we couldn't afford him. Wait, really, you hadn't paid Dak
at that point, you hadn't paid see he left.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
You couldn't afford.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
Derek Henry two years million under the Caps sixteen million.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
We didn't have the money for him.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
You know, it's it's ridiculous. He had the money, he had,
the Caps, he had, he had that. You know, it's
you know, there's there's no questions. You know, that could
have had Derrick Henry. They could have had a lot
of guys they don't have to have, you know, the
the last you know, threads of Ezekiel Elliott. Yeah, I
(24:11):
mean this is like Ezekiel Elliott is like that really
old pair of jeans that you hold on to it
till the end, despite the fact that there there's a
hole in both knees and the crotch and the back
of the pants like there's nothing left on that. It's
completely and totally threadbare. But they're comfortable. So you keep
hoping like that's that's what Ezekiel Elliott is at this
(24:34):
point in time.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Nicely done, all right, let's go to Buffalo.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Josh Allen continues to talk about how much he loves
his receiving cores.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Is he waving at Stefan Diggs the whole time?
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Oh? Absolutely, I wouldn't you, after after all that noise
that Stefan Diggs spent two years making more noise than
Sterling Sharp gigs during his entire time playing with Brett
faire when he used to come into a huddle and
look at Brett Farburn, go, I can't believe you make
more money than they.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
For a second, I really thought you're gonna say more
noise than Shannon Sharp made on that audio tape that
got put up a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
I really though, actually that actually would be better. I
really know that, And we played the audio right now. No,
can't be that. You guys, you more trouble than you
did with me a couple of weeks ago. The Sharp
brothers do have a way of making noise in interesting ways. No,
(25:36):
I mean he's pointing at Gigs And I mean, I
will say this Josh Allen, like last year when he
didn't show up for the m v P show, like
between that and what he did this week, I gotta say,
Josh Allen's showing me a little thin skin and should
be above it all. But he's not. And at the
(25:58):
end of the day, if you had the name him
an MVP. Right now, he's the MVP of the league.
Now it's only three games, but he's not. You know,
he's cut out the mistakes that he was making last year,
the turnovers, the boss plays. They're winning. I mean, he's
playing much much better football. And whether that's because he
doesn't have to worry about Diggs in his ear all
the time or not, I don't know. But the whole
(26:20):
Digs thing did become tiresome a year ago, and they
weren't spreading the ball around the way they need to.
I'm not sure that the Bills are any better as
a serious contender than they were before, but they're you know,
they're the next best team in the AFC after Kansas
City right now, and they got a fighter's chance in
(26:41):
that matchup.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Jason Cole with us, the Jason Smithson with Mike Harmon
Love from the TIREC dot Com studios. All right, so
from there, let's go here. Mike and I talked with
us a few minutes ago another day where Deshaun Watson
didn't want to take accountability for a pass he missed
to the press that I don't want to run unless
I have to, you know, basically saying.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
I don't want to play in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I don't I don't want to here.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
I mean really, I Oh, yeah, they guaranteed all the money,
but I didn't really feel like it. I needed to
get out of Houston no matter what. Oh they're still
talking about me in Houston. They're still suing me in Houston.
Oh that's a distraction. That's a problem. Do I really
care about playing football that much? I'm not sure anymore.
I don't know. You know, Deshaun Watson, nobody has gone
(27:29):
as fallen faster from a point of he could have
been one of the top five quarterbacks the league. And
I know, but I know there have been injuries. But
so much of this is self induced, you know, the
behavior in Houston, all his faults the decision to go
to a place that he didn't want to play in
(27:51):
simply because of the money. You know, I understand you
take the two hundred million dollars guaranteed, but in your
heart of hearts, he wanted to go home and play
in Atlantic. You should have done that. You should have
followed your followed your passion because you would have enjoyed
it a lot more and you would have put more
effort into it, and you would have liked it more.
(28:13):
And this is I say this to guys all the time.
Don't find a place that you're comfortable, that you want
to play that will make you more energized. He's in Cleveland,
like he is the Why part of Cleveland, and so
you know, it shows. It shows in the way he plays,
It shows in the work they's put in, it shows
in his dedication to his game. I mean, I don't
(28:35):
know between him and Trevor Lawrence, who's who's sort of
falling faster. I mean, it's probably Deshaun Watson because there's
so much off the field garbage. But those two guys
were supposed to be, you know, faces of franchises and
faces of the NFL, and neither one of them is
(28:57):
even close.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Right now, he's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two.
That is at Jason, that was you were man, you
were very serious.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Can we play s Dougan now again?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
We can? Yeah, that's great, that's great. Yeah, that's a.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Goal be Syracuse last Friday. It was so great to
go in the a c C were the victory over
the Orangeman. See my child, that's that's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Lyric See now you got him free styling Smith. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know, that's what Look what happened.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
I know, you know.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Part of me is a proud life, feel like a
proud dad. But all the part of it feels like
I never want to hear this again.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
I'm a proud I'm a proud Stanford fan of a
team that actually won the game. That's what I'm proud of.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Smith. You know how you get him back though? Right? Oh?
Fire a couple of Jerry lines at him right now?
Speaker 6 (30:00):
No, no, no, no, you go.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
That's a very good team there in Stanford. That's very
good at Oh, there you goes what I did there?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Time out to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports from Brian Finley BYEP.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
What do you got, Yeah, Jason, Mike, we are not
going to be seeing Kaitlyn Clark any longer in the
remainder of this WNBA postseason, as her fever got bounced
by Way but sweeping the first round of the Yeah,
first round of the postseason. The Sun got the better
of the Fever in this game to eighty seven to
eighty one, and Kaitlyn Clark did not come out of
the game forty minutes twenty five points. She almost single
(30:37):
handedly worked her team back into this. They actually took
a late lead, but they could not hold on to it.
She went ten of twenty three from the floor, including
three of twelve from three point range. In the world
of Major League Baseball, that Braves met series that still
has two games that is moved into a double header.
They have made that a doubleheader going off on Monday
(31:00):
because of a hurricane coming up in some rain in
the area. And that obviously is a series that has
a whole lot on the line in regards to the
NL Wild Card picture, as does what's going on between
the Braves of the Dodgers right now. Dodgers are headed
home three to two in the fifth inning, Showio Tani
breaking up a two to two tie with an RBI
bas knock in the form of doubling in a runs.
(31:22):
So the Dodgers have the lead. Padres are at bat.
Padres have won five in a row and they continue
to play really good baseball. So do the Diamondbacks five
to one there in front of the Giants, that is
in the seventh inning. Diamondbacks holding that final spot of
the three in the NL wildcard race, but just a
half game lead of the Braves, who, as mentioned are
(31:43):
actually just now a game behind the Mets for that
second NL wild card spot. So a lot to still
get figured out here in the last couple of days
of the regular season, some of the finals to get
to Guardians over the Reds five to two. Royals win
three to nothing against the Nation, so do the Tiger
seven to one against the Rays. Those are significant outcomes
(32:04):
because the Tigers and the Royals are tied for second
in the AL wild card pictures, so they're in the hunt.
Yankees had a chance to win tonight and they would
clinch the AL East Division.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
And they could not get it done.
Speaker 8 (32:19):
Albeit a fifty seventh home run a Major League Baseball
leading in the season, fifty seventh im run from Aaron Judge,
but still Orioles nine to seven winners against the Yankees. Lastly, guys,
I want to mention this, Mike Harmon's White Sox. Yes,
being off history again is what they're saying. A walk
off to beat the hapless Angels. How does that make
(32:41):
you feel? Mike four to three in tenanting's over the Halos.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Well, I mean, look, they're staving off elimination and infuriating
the fans. They got another eighteen thousand people out there
tonight waiting for history, and they all were pissed when
the White Sox won.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
I think the A's might be upset as well. They're
fans because they're playing their last home game. They're down
five to one against the Rangers. Bottom the six and
Jason Mike aus I get it back to you. Reports
of fans taking seats from the stadium. I guess that's
a sign of love or maybe none.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
No, I just signed this something I want to steal. Like, well,
let's put it this way.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
I mean, I gotta think the stadium has been decrepit
enough that it wasn't really hard to work the bolts
to get the chairs up.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
You think they were on bolts, They're just holding chairs,
picked them up and took them with them. They're just legos,
just like a picnic legos. I like that. How happening?
I'm on eBay. Oh oh okay, there you can. But
I did Colisseum seats.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah, and there are Colisseum seats for sale, but it
was it's it's memory.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
It's the La Memorial Colisseum seats. They were selling for
usc for a second.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Someone had taken those seats from the from y open
and put them on email.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
Oh, I'm sure they will give it time. By the
end of the night, we'll have at least one up there.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
I'm sure. Extra about a Fresco exit swollen down.
Speaker 1 (34:04):

number fifty that's going up for auction tomorrow. It's a
great story. It is awesome, It is really funny. It's crazier. Yeah,
but we're gonna do that in a few minutes because
(34:53):
of what just happened in Major League Baseball. You know,
we had some fun talking about the the situation Oakland
where fans are just stealing the seats, taking the seats
out of the stadium and leaving because you know, tomorrow's
the last.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Game in Oakland.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
They're playing right now, they're next to last game, and
you know, fans are taking their own souvenirs. Players want
to take their own stuff. I mean, maybe maybe somebody
takes the possum living in the I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Oh, you should have adopted the possum family. There's no question.
Should be able to put that in a zoo.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
But uh, this just came to us courtesy of Bob Nightingale,
USA Today MLB columnist, You know, longtime friend of the show,
Bob Nightingale, who just tweeted this out about six minutes ago.
Six security guards are chasing a man with a stolen
stadium seat outside the Oakland Coliseum.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Now we're talking, dude stole a seat and.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Now six guards are chasing him to get him to
bring him back.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
I've never been more happy to pay taxes in my life.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
What does it matter?
Speaker 5 (36:00):
Well, I mean after that great letter that the A's
owner put out, I mean.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
That Larry Beale ripped up on television, right.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Our buddy Larry Beale, one of my first partners in
this crazy media business up there in the Bay Area,
getting after it.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Aloha. Uh, I mean he wrote that letter. I mean
he wants his chairs. How can you not? I mean
I realized it's like listen in the assets, Jason, I
thought it was all folding chairs.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I thought the A's put out folding chairs for people
before that he took him in there after the games.
How are six guys not able to chase one guy?
Like a seat is heavy?
Speaker 6 (36:36):
Like?
Speaker 3 (36:36):
How do you not catch that guy? How does six
guys not? Like? Is it Barry.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Sanders in his prime and he's running and he's like
moving his feet and he's spinning and guys turning around.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
But here's a question.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
We don't have video of it yet yet is it
a single chair because most of them they're they're coming
up in twos and threes.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
That, oh, I guess got like a row.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
He's got a row, guy, Like I didn't have single
single seats because they're all kind of bolted together like
as a group.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
No on your.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
Shoulder, like it's a boom box and you run.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Man.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Oh no, yeah, no, there's no question about that. I'm curious.
There's gotta be video. We get video for every bleeping thing. Yeah,
I gotta have a video of this.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Look.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
I quote tweeted Bob Nightingall and I even said, Bob video,
Bob video, come on video or it didn't come.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
On man, Like this is the like I'm and although.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
While I do want to see video, man, the theater
of the mind on this is just outstand I'm pickted,
like I guy running through turnstiles and sliding over and
just security guards falling down and tripping over each other.
And then at one point the guy stops and sits
in the seat and people just think he's sitting there,
run by him, and then he gets up and he
walks on the seat again, like that'd be the best
(37:44):
way to hide.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
I round the corner. I just sit, No, we do.
I'm just sit into the seat like he's hanging out
waiting on the bus. Yeah, I'm just waiting. Then they
then they run by and he picks up the seat
and walks away. It's like straight out of sixties comedies.
Just rip it up.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
It's like Tim Conway and Harvey Korman bit from back
in the day.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Oh you know you think they're Jason real quick? Yeah,
we got Frostberg. Do you have to.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
Realize like people in Oakland have been training like for
this their whole lives, like it's the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Well, at least the last couple of years a have
when they knew the team was moving. Alright, we got
that next to last game.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
They're ready to go.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
We gotta walk in. We gotta go in there with
with plyers. We gotta go in there with the wrenches.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
We gotta be You don't even needs or wrenches.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
No, you know, I'm gonna say that the Bolts aren't
gonna be very good again.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Old Decrepid Stadium.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
It was a trash heap thirty years ago, and I
was going there with some regular.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
I had to go out of my way not to
get electrocuted in the booth there, all.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
The standing water and mess.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
Yeah, it's no good.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
That's gonna be one of those stadiums where they'll take
pictures the day after the regular season ends in baseball,
and you're gonna go, oh wow, how long has this
thing been abandoned for it? No, this is day after
the season, but people are still working there.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
It's like they should just rent it out right now
as a Halloween place. Man, create a couple of mazes
in the hallways in a way you go, oh, I
forget about going to a theme park. I thought you
meant just put like a spirit Halloween sign on.
Speaker 6 (39:08):
Oh you could do.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
That too, man, that's I thought that was too low hanging.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Of fruit to generate some mother.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Yeah, go down to the college, same spirit Halloween, but
one more day Spirit Halloween. In fact, that's what I
would again. Don't do again, like we said last night.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
With every choughter Bucks, you get a chair, don'ty dirt,
don't really do this. But if you got one of
those big spirit Halloween.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Signs to one of those big ones and you just
found a way to put it up outside the outside
the coliseum, Like how great would that be?
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Took picture. I would be pretty that would be awesome.
Oh is it photoshop?
Speaker 6 (39:40):
No?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
No, No, that big hot spirit Halloween is a going
over the stadium. That's absolutely there.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
It's the real deal. Minute.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I want to see video, but party wants to just
see what it looks like in my head and think
this just looks glorious. But I can really see the
guy rounding a corner, sitting down on the seat, and
the security guards with their batons out and they trip
over each other. It's going down like it's the Three
Stooges and they fall down the steps and the guy's
just sitting there like eating a corn dog, like watching
(40:08):
them all go by. He just picks up the seat
and walks the other way.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
I keep I looked up Oakland Stadium chair and there's
a cool bobblehead that they made a satchel page and
he's in a rocky chair.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
