Anthony Richardson is going to be the starting quarterback of
the Indianapolis Colts, but it doesn't mean that we are
sold on Anthony Richardson being the future quarterback of the
Indianapolis Colts. There's some stuff that happened last night. Some
stuff that happened this see that gets this conversation going,

(01:02):
especially after Richardson's rookie season that was cut short by injury.
There was a concussion, there was a shoulder injury. You
had Gardner Minshew there. Now Anthony Richardson doesn't have to
worry about Gardner Minshew, but he's got Joe Flacco as
his backup. A lot of buzz going on right now
about the Indianapolis Colts and what to expect this season,

(01:23):
something Carry and I will dive into in about fifteen
minutes or so. Plus at the bottom of the hour,
our good friend, former Buccaneers JM. Mark Dominic, a good
friend of the show, will join us to give us
the latest on what he thinks the Niners will do
with Brandon Nayuk. And if you missed it, I am
all for the Washington Commanders to bring him in and
to acquire him in a deal. We'll find out about

(01:45):
that latest, plus the Cowboys and so much more. As
it's cut down weekend in the National Football League. But
checking the calendar, it's August twenty third. It's a Friday,
but it's not just any Friday.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
I got some beers.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
It's that time of the week to crack open a
cool beverage.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
It's frosty Friday.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Is this your first Frosty Friday?

Speaker 4 (02:12):
This is my first Frosty Friday?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, for sure. This is the brainchild of one Jason
Stewart Is. I'm uh wish I was sitting back right now,
and you're gonna be uh surprised about what I'm I'm
gonna say. Kobe Bryant uh had body the body armor drink.
There was like a special Kobe Bryant drink on Kobe's

(02:37):
birthday today. I wish I was sitting back sipping a
nice grape and strawberry. Body armor was my favorite flavor
of those. Yes, load me up with some body armor, especially,
I'm gonna need to be hydrated for the amount of
golf that move about to play.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
In the next week or so. That's right, I've never
tasted that. Was it was? It? Is it tasty?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's good, yeah, and I feel it's relatively cheap, and
there's sugar in it, you know, of course, but it
makes me feel better thinking that it's an energy you know,
like a you know, sort of rehydrating sort of drink. Yeah. Yeah,
but the strawberry and grape I think is delicious nice
not nice?

Speaker 5 (03:15):
Well, carry strikes me as a guy who doesn't do
those flavored energy drinks.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
I do not do those at all, and I'm not
even a drinker. So I would say the one thing
that I do, I would put I guess a cold
on a frosty Friday, I'll have a cold like kombucha.
That's that's my that's my drink of choice. When I'm
at the house or even if I try to go
somewhere to eat, I'm gonna get like a I would

(03:40):
do a kombucha to to give me a little a
little taste.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
So what are you drinking on this Friday?

Speaker 5 (03:47):
At Jason Stewart, I'm gonna uh So, there's a brewery
out of San Francisco Anchor Steam Anchor steam Beer. You
can find it down here like a Trader Joe's and stuff,
but delicious. What would you call that? Was craft beer? Sam,
you're the beer well like an ipa.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Sam was so in the lover Boy he didn't even
say as in turning next to.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
Him, So pour me an anchor steam to start to
start us?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
There is By the way, what did Doug call this
song this week? Didn't he call it like something that
it wasn't like working to the weekend. Yeah, he got
the main where it's correct, but the out working and weekend.
But you played this on a Wednesday, which, I to
Doug's defense, was a little strange. But we were talking

(04:37):
about something that was related.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
But I think when you get to hump Day and
you get to Friday, like those two days are like
you're looking ahead to the weekend. You know, you're like
halfway through the week. Yeah, I'm working for that weekend, man,
But last weekend I was working on the weekend. So
that's maybe that's what Doug man.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
That sort of a Sam could not keep his day
straight because it's like, you know, but just straight days
for him. What are you drinking on this frosty Friday?

Speaker 6 (04:59):
Well, right now, I'm drinking a virgin strawberry dackery in
this cup right here.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
You can see it.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
In the star phone cup. Oh no, nice.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
It may be coffee, but it looks like one of
those old.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
School be bops remembered the old school frozen kool aids.

Speaker 6 (05:16):
Yes, yes, very refreshing. It's still summer for another month.
Tonight I'll be watching Caitlin Clark visiting the Minnesota Lynx
and I'll probably be having maybe a little craft.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Brewery at playing at the Links. She's playing at the Links.
The head coach that hates her more drama.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
I think they play tomorrow? What, No, it's today? Uh again,
Sam not getting his day straight. It's Friday, frosty Friday.
They play tomorrow against the Minnesota Lynx. But hey, how
did I?

Speaker 5 (05:51):
How did I misread that?

Speaker 4 (05:54):
Some fan? You are? Are you so that's a virgin
in there? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Right, Sam, I'm at more. Sam was here last weekend.
So these days are messed up there. The Links are
playing tastes against the Aces. Your schedule just freed up,
So good news for you. Isaac, Blow and Crown just
sipped a little something of what do you got in
that old mug? Isaac?

Speaker 4 (06:21):
It's coffee.

Speaker 7 (06:22):
Unfortunately, it is not Irish coffee, if I can put
it that way. It is plain, old homemade black coffee.
It is incredibly well tasting thanks to the brilliance of
the person who crafted it.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
Wah.

Speaker 7 (06:35):
It is the best legal performance enhancing substance out there.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Oh, it's a frosty Friday, but it is also a
Friday that I'm sorry. I've heard it, been hearing it
for the last few weeks. I don't know if it's
my age carrier roads. I'm excited for the football season,
but it doesn't mean that I'm excited for the summer
to go away. This is it, this is done. I'm

(07:03):
not a huge week zero guy in college football, yeah,
which explains why I have a flight tomorrow, so I'll
be in the air when Georgia Tech and Florida State
are playing in Ireland. But like, this is it. This
is the final weekend, right, and it really is it?
Because Labor Day weekend feels like the final weekend, but

(07:23):
it's your final normal weekend of summer where you still
have summer the week after when you go to Labor
Day weekend, yeah, you have the extra day, but then
it's completely done. I'm sad to see summer go. I
love football, and I love everything about it, and I
love football weekends. But as I've gotten older, I've appreciated
summer more and more, and I'm sad to think that,

(07:47):
all right, it's already gone past, Like it feels like
it was just the other day. I was watching the
US Open. It was mid June and breshing to Shambo
and Rory McRoy are going head to head. It was
two months ago. Now it's over. Like this is I
feel sad that the end of summer is almost here.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
That's the sadness coincide that the sadness of summer leaving
coincide with golf.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
For you is that.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
It does.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yes, it does. PGA Tour is wrapping up FedEx Cup
playoffs going on right now. Next week we'll have the
Tour Championship to end it. That is a big part
of it. Now living in southern California, you don't necessarily
have that problem, but there is different golfing weather days
gets shorter, which I'm not a fan of. After November,
I'm leaving work and it's dusk, so there's really no

(08:33):
opportunity to do that. Yeah, it's a big part of it.
That's why I have this big golf weekend. It's almost traditioned.
It's like the last big golf week it's the last
opportunity to do so. I've just enjoyed summer way more,
I would say, over the last decade than I ever have.
As much as I love football and can't wait for
the games to count, and seeing all the action. You know,

(08:56):
I don't get misty eyed, but I think it's always
too bad when you got to say goodbye it a soum.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
It's so funny because that was flipped for me as
a youngster. Obviously, summer was everything, you know, even in
my late twenties maybe early thirties, summer was everything. Now
it's all about getting to fall, getting to the shorter
light because I go to sleep early, so I like
for it to get damned just a little bit sooner
so I can get comfy. You know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
How early are we talking about here? Eight thirty nine.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
I'm in bed, yeah, I mean seriously, So when you
sit in those texts down at midnight, I am, I'm
on my I'm almost making up. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I did send one that was like, sorry, it's late,
and it's like eleven twenty. Jason Stewart's an early to
better as well.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
Yeah, and I'm a bed wetter, early to better and
a bad wetter.

Speaker 7 (09:46):
Your real self promoter.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
You know what, I'm looking forward to this weekend and
it's so rare. The Al East is coming to town.
The Dodgers have the best record in the national League.
Believe it or not. They are very flawed, but they
still have the best record in the National League. They're
they're welcoming the Rays to town. I mean, I don't
know how many times the Rays have ever played at
Dodger Stadium. Kershaw goes tomorrow night, but I think it's

(10:11):
a chance to maybe sweep up on the Rays and
then we welcome the Orioles to town. So looking forward
to a cool Dodger weekend.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Carrie, what are you looking forward to us the weekend?
I'm again tomorrow road show on Sunday. That's right, That's
that's number one. Obviously, my show Sunday to five pm
on Sunday, right you and Harmon? That's right?

Speaker 4 (10:34):
No, no, no, it's it's my show.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Okay, Yeah, I won't tell Mike.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yes, yeah, I forget about it's my show. But tomorrow
I'm I'm going to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and I'm
going to watch the Nightmare before Christmas outside and it's
going to be nice. Have some blankets out, have energy drink.

Speaker 7 (10:55):
I don't want to be macab but do me a favor.
Say hi to my grandparents. That's where they are.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Are they there? I got just sib many directions to
the plot. I'll go put some flowers off for you.
I love. But that's why I'm going. That's where I'm
going Saturday. So that should be fun.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
You're you seem to be a person who loves to
end summer a lot sooner. You're already watching uh exactly, yes,
the night before Christmas, Iowa, Sam, I know what you're
not doing tonight. That's watching the Indiana Fever. What are
you doing tomorrow? Watching the Indiana fever?

Speaker 6 (11:24):
Tomorrow I will be watching the Indiana Fever. Yes, and uh,
that's really ten to my flowers.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
You know, my little garden you can grow it.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
Think about living in La you can you can start
and grow a garden at anytime of the year. Yes,
as long as you get light. It's warm enough and
the sunlight is ample, and so you know, that's one
of my.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Little Also, like this fall growing season that you don't
get in other places. True, like where you're like, if
you need to do lawn work you wanted to, like,
you can do that in September October where the temperatures
aren't as hot and yep, you end up having to
maybe trim your bushes that's what a frosty Friday's about.
You're drinking what you're doing on a weekend, Today's Friday.

(12:06):
There is a point as well, and I know, like
if you're a listener, I hope that you can feel
what I'm saying about summer. But the one thing in you,
as a professional athlete, probably have it a little bit different.
But I know, in looking across the glass from me

(12:26):
and Isaac and Jason and Sam, there is also this
point in sports media where August is the start and
now when the NBA kind of ends, like that's where
your season goes. So it's a ten month grind, almost
like school. So this summer sort of thing is an
ending of the summer and it's the starting of your seasons.

(12:48):
Because all these things kind of coincide with each other.
It is the feeling of a school year. And so
there is like a little remorse that summer is over
with because now we enter a stretch again. For as
much as we love football, maybe we put it in
cruise control a little bit in June and July because
there's not as much once the NBA season sure ends
up ending and now you got to buckle in, I know,

(13:10):
beat writers everywhere covering football teams, like their work starts
and it's NonStop until the Super Bowl. This year's in
New Orleans on Fox. By the way, it's part of
the new TV deal, so uh yeah, so we'll go
straight and then you hint into everything in the spring,
as I mentioned, into the NBA.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
And by the way, just it's good to put a
button on that I'm very envious of, and I actually
hate the people that thought about this and put put
thought into it and took next week off like the
last real week of our summer. In the media, I'm
very resignful of planners, people that plan that stuff, namely
Dan Byer and Colin Cowhert. They're going to be off

(13:47):
all next week. Actually Dan's going to be doing a
couple of shows, but I'm resentful that you guys thought
ahead on them.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
I also think ahead because of where I live in
southern California. When everybody gets out of town, everybody's on
the road, so you'll notice, like on a Labor Day
or a Memorial Day. I'm like, I don't want to
deal with the traffic. And Jason doesn't live too far
for me, and he's usually in studio and I'm like,
if I could stay home, I'm going to stay at home.
I'll do the show from the home studio if I can,

(14:14):
because traffic is, oddly enough in southern California can be
a headache.

the Tirec dot com studios. He's the all pro Carrey Roads.
I'm Dan Byer sitting in for Doug on this Friday.
Glad to have you with us. Jason Stewart's our executive producer,
Iowa Sam technical producer, and Isaac lowncron Is at the
news desk. We'll be with us coming up at the
bottom of the hour to give us the latest, and
then Mark Dominic will be joining us the former Buccaneers

(14:55):
GM to talk all things NFL. Do you believe Anthony
Richard sim will be a long term starting quarterback in
the National Football League?

Speaker 4 (15:04):
I do not have that answer. He showed flashes last
year before he got hurt of being a dynamic player.
Now I don't know what that means. Dynamic players don't
last a long time, usually, especially a guy like him
who doesn't understand NFL defenses yet yet. Not a lot

(15:26):
of starts coming from out of college, out of Florida,
and so you go into a situation where you get
a chance to start from day one and you get hurt,
so you don't get enough reps up it.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Again.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
We saw flashes up you know, early on him making
some plays with his arm on the move and being
able to run and make some big plays. But I
really have no indication of anything with him yet, so
I want to see what happens. But I'm not going
to be so hard on him. I know that he's
going to catch flack, and you have Flacco in the waiting,
but I don't know yet.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
That's you know, he's getting flack. And he got flacked
from the Bengals. All week they had joint practices, and
there was a point the reports were saying that the
Bengals defenders were basically yelling, he can't throw. He cannot
throw the ball. He doesn't want to throw. That's not
his deal, and it's going to have to be his deal,
of course, And sooner rather than later, and Shane Stiking

(16:17):
kind of supported as quarterback as he should. But last
night in the preseason finale against Cincinnati ends up throwing
a pick six. Did throw a touchdown pass, but it's
not on one of the passes where you would say
that is a strong quarterback throw. I obviously the jury
is still out with this. My question is is how

(16:38):
long does the jury deliberate because I don't think that
there's tons of time that you can have with Anthony
Richardson if you've put him in this spot, if you're
the Indianapolis Colts. I actually, you know there was a
there was a conversation a few years ago when Richardson
was in the draft and you have the Dolphins still
trying to figure out what they wanted to do, who
they were going to take, and I said, listen, if

(17:00):
he's your guy, this is the guy that you want
trade up and end up making him the number one
overall pick and hope that he turns into Josh Allen
because that was the comp It's really the comp of
a guy who is raw, not a lot of college experience,
but is everything that you would maybe want in a
quarterback if it can translate to the National Football League.
But this isn't a Jordan Love situation where now he's

(17:22):
sitting behind anybody. And in fact, your point about Flacco
is the point that I think is really important is
they are putting a quarterback behind him that has proven
he can take a team and lead them to the playoffs,
even if he's been sitting on the couch, and a
quarterback that I don't know if I could find a
more opposite quarterback for what Anthony Richardson is than Joe Flacco.

(17:45):
Richardson's twenty two. We don't know if he can throw.
Flacco as old as dirt. We share the same birthday,
by the way, I'm a few years older than he is.
But the point is is that's all he does. His throw.
Sometimes he does throw interceptions, but when he led the
Browns last year to what they did, you're thinking, okay,
Flaccos still got it, so you have so Like the
point is, with a jury deliberating and with the Colts deliberating,

(18:08):
it's the fact of I don't know if it's an
ideal situation for him in Indianapolis. If now you've obviously
surrounded him with veterans, but veterans that can perform a
lot better, which would make you question what Richardson could
do further, Well, I guess the.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
Whole, the whole, I guess the story here really is
it is the Colts. Are they going to win this year?
Are they a team that has has high hopes? I mean,
I know they outperformed what a lot of people thought
last year. Yes, Gardener came in and kind of studied
the ship and they played well. But are they a threat?

(18:42):
And if they're not a threat, you go with the
young guy and you stay with the young guy. And
that would be my thinking about it, just from a
I'm not super knowledgeable about who they're like what their
expect expectations are there, I've seen them, but I don't
know what that is yet.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
I just wonder on when you decide to move on? Yeah,
and like this is the question, like we're gonna find
out if he can and the Bengals players are taunting him.
They know the weaknesses. You know it, you know what
a quarterback can and can't do, and they're they're bringing
it to light. And I'm not saying that they're giving
up an Anthony Richardson, but it's the question of he's
not sitting and waiting for a few years where he

(19:19):
can develop and then come through like Jordan Love. He's
still young enough, but him being the starter I think
actually makes it more difficult. It would be completely different
if Joe Flacco was the starter now and Anthony Richardson
is behind him. But now Richardson has to prove that
he's he's worthy of this spot. And if you're Indianapolis
and you go through the second straight year of maybe

(19:40):
needing your veteran to come in and save the day,
I just don't think that bodes well for Anthony Richardson Indianapolis,
no matter how early it is in his career.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
Yeah, I think there is a little inherent pressure that
comes with you when you sign a veteran guy like
a Flacco, right, because if you are a young guy,
you kind of know that that least could be small,
especially if your team is in contention. And obviously you
know coaches want to win. They don't want to not win.
Trying to use a project to go out there and

(20:09):
see what he can do, that's not how it works.
But he's a top pick, He's going to get the
benefit of a doubt until he doesn't. And last year.
You know, he had glimpses and he played well in
certain spots, so you can only go off of that,
and that's where I think they're operating from right now.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, and the four games that he played, two of
which he had to leave because of injury. Yeah, you know,
like in the games that he did play, he did
farewell at rushing touchdowns. He had more rushing touchdowns last
year in the four games than he had passing touchdowns.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
But he had a concussion. Then we mentioned the shoulder injury.
I do think it's a very interesting situation in Indianapolis
and really how they're handling it, Because if Joe Flacko
is a free agent, I'm sure there are thirty one
other teams that would love to have him as the
backup to their starter. But the Colts were able to
reel him in. And I think that the Colts look
at it's like, maybe we're not as different as the
Cleveland Browns are. Browns have a better d yes, you know,

(21:00):
for what they are, but in terms of a quarterback
who maybe is dealing with injury and you need someone
to save the day. Yeah, I think that that's why
the Colts brought Flaco.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
In and that division they're in. It's not like it's
not like it's stone cold. I mean, I guess people
with think Jacksonville.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Right, but Houston probably actually not.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah, you're right, but still, yeah, you don't know what
Jacksonville's going to be in. Tennessee's obviously got you know,
new things with Brian klea and as their head coach.

is Deshaun Watson the answer for Cleveland? I mean, we
have more evidence on him then we do have Anthony Richardson,
but last season injured again. Yeah, it's been a guy
who's dealt with injuries. If you're a Cleveland Browns fan.

(22:03):
And by the way, I do want to promote this.
Mike Harmon and I do the I Want Your Flex
podcast and we recorded an episode yesterday that's gonna launch
next week. But we were talking about the quarterback position.
Deshaun Watson when it comes to fantasy football, bottom third
of your leagues if you're looking for fantasy potential. Really, yeah,
that was not the case with Deshaun Watson. That's where

(22:24):
he is right now. So now, jumping out of the
fantasy perspective, what do you think of the Browns in
Deshaun Watson, who, by the way, had a sore arm
in practice this week.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
I saw that this is I think this is it.
This is one of those years. This is a make
a break year for him. We saw the flashes of
greatness and brilliance that he exhibited for a while in Houston,
had some unfortunate things happen where he had to take
some time off, and it's not been so warm since

(22:53):
his return has been back. So this is I'm excited
to see him have a breakout year because I know
how talented he is. I saw him a lot. He
played against Louisville a lot, so I saw him in
college as well, a different quarterback when he's healthy and right,
So I want to see that. I'm not sure if
he's the guy. I can't say that right now. Because

(23:14):
it hasn't shown in Cleveland, but want I hope it is.
I want to see it again.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
I think it may border on us being unfair to
Anthony Richardson for being a twenty two year old and
saying that, okay, like is it going to be his job?
That may be a little unfair to the kid, but
it is the NFL. He is the starter right now,
and if it isn't in Indianapolis, then maybe it happened
somewhere else. Yeah, I think it's completely fair to talk
about Deshaun Watson. The problem with the Browns is they

(23:40):
fully guaranteed his contract, so there's no opportunity for any
outs left in that deal. But we are entering year
three of that contract, so he's only got twenty five
in twenty six after this, where he is still under
contract making that absorbent amount of money. But he's also
going to be thirty years old next year. And you
talk about a guy who has dealt with not only

(24:04):
knee injury problems now and dealing with a shoulder injury. Yeah,
I've got some serious questions on Deshaun Watson and the Brons,
especially because I think the defense is so good, so
it's it's it's a situation that Cleveland doesn't want to squander.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Where do you rank him in that division as the quarterbacks?
I mean it's pretty pretty clear probably, but where would
you what would you rank?

Speaker 2 (24:27):
I think you'd have to be third, just because of
how bad it is in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
So I think, I really, I think he can be
second in that division when he's right. And so I'm
not going to tell you who that who I'm kicking out,
all right, but I think he can be second if
he's right, and I hope that's what we get to
see this year.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Mark Dominic, former GM of the Buccaneers, our friend of
the program here on Fox Sports Radio, joining us Mark
Happy Friday. Let's get right, let's get right to it.
Kerry and I were just having an Anthony Richardson conversation.
Bengals players kind of mocking him in their joint practices
this week, saying that he can't threw a pick six
last night in their preseason game. I get he's twenty
two years old, but you have a veteran in Joe

(25:06):
Flackwise's backup. You know how much room do the Colts
And can the Colts allowed to give Anthony Richardson to
turn into the quarterback they want him to be.

Speaker 8 (25:15):
They don't have a lot of room guys at all.
And the reality is their general manager Chris Ballard, who's
a great guy. This is his what sixth quarterback in
the seven years or whatever it's been. I mean, it's
been a revolving door there. It's a quarterback position and
richards They're just gotta find out what Richardson is and

(25:37):
they're going to live and die by it. I'm afraid,
and I agree Anthony Richardson looks like more of a
roller coaster. There's gonna be a parts you're gonna really like,
but I think you're gonna be parts you really can't stand.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
Mark to piggyback on that on that topic a little bit.
As a GM, if you have a young quarterback, a
quarterback that you obviously believed in to take at such
a high pick, you have the first year that ends prematurely,
so you saw a small sample size of what he
can be. You bring in a veteran guy that just
came from Cleveland that took a team to the playoffs.

(26:10):
Bring Are you bringing in a guy like that as
insurance or you're bringing in a guy like that to
push the younger guy. What's your uptake on that?

Speaker 8 (26:17):
Usually I love that question, and I think there's a
lot of answers to the way I understand why they
did it. Number One, Flaco's a great teammate, doesn't mean
he's not trying to be the starter there, but also
understands what it takes to be a starter and to
mentor and to go through that. You're bringing in Blackhoo
because I think not because you're worried Richister was going

(26:38):
to bust. You're worried that Richard can't stay healthy. Yeah,
you know that. That's and you're gonna have to play
this guy and it might be a six game stretch
or an eight game stretch. You can't just have an
okay backup. You've got to have something that you think
can actually win. And I think Blacko coming off the
couch last year showed hey, look I'm ready to go
still and has a lot of drive and still desire
to play. So it wasn't because I think has got

(27:00):
to push Richardson to be the starter. I think they
did it because they're trying to protect themselves, because they
realized what happened was richardson last year. Wasn't just one injury.
He was multiple ones, but one significant one. And that's
something I think that you can go back in his life.
They kind of see that that's been somewhat of a
repeated pattern. Tadley for richards At this point.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Former Buccaneers GM Mark Dominic joining us here on Fox
Sports Radio. He's Carrie Roads. I'm Dan Byer, Mark with
twenty plus years in NFL front offices. It's time for
our weekly Brandon Ayuk question to Mark Dominic here on
Fox Sports Radio. The thing's going on a lot longer
than I thought it would be. Mike Silver, we touched
on this earlier in the show, reporting that, hey, don't

(27:38):
rule out Washington. I'm all for the Commanders making a push,
but he's still a forty nine er. Where do you
think this ends up as we sit here now on
August twenty third, and still no official deal one way
or another with Ayuk?

Speaker 8 (27:52):
Yeah, you know, it's obviously very interesting. It's taken so
long to get to this point, and yet we're still
right guys. Yeah, it feels like the agent continues to
try to spend anything he can to get the forty
nine Ers to offer more money, and it was close
in New England. Thirty million dollars plus fell apart. Tried Cleveland,

(28:13):
that sounded pretty good, Will, Let's try Pittsburgh. That sounded
pretty good. Was Washington. But then, oh wait, they just
traded the running their receiver, so now they're interested. I
think if Washington really wanted brand Ayuk, it wouldn't have
mattered what they did with John Dotson. They were gonna
go ahead and just go with it as is. So
I don't think they had a bit to do with
the difference in their situation in terms of deciding whether

(28:33):
or not they want to sign Brandon Ayuk. I just
don't think Washington is interested enough, even though Adam Peters
was to the assistant GM. It speaks volume if you
really thought Ayuk was a legit number one NonStop, I
think they'd already traded for him. But you also got
to realize that affects Terry McLaurin too, So if you
make a move for a Yuk, because you're gonna have

(28:54):
to adjust Harry's contract as well.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
I got a question for you, Mark about my New
York Jets'm gonna I'm gonna throw that out there in
my New York jets. I know the what the whole
Hassan Reddick deal like. If you go into a situation
and you know that a player is having contract problems

(29:16):
or stalemates happening at a different location, and you trade
for that guy, don't you go into it with the
game plan saying we have to extend them or we've
got to have these talks early before the guy even
gets in the building.

Speaker 8 (29:29):
You absolutely should have and you're allowed to do that, right,
You're allowed to sit there. And if you're getting to
talk to Howie Roseman and you're thinking about training for
Hassan Reddick, one of the things you have to notify
the league office if you have the right to communicate
with them. And the second thing is you should be
on the phone with the agent going what's the problem, Like,
tell me what do you want you? What are you
looking for? What kind of contract? How many years now?

(29:50):
Did you get tricked by the agent? I don't know.
I don't think so. I think that they've been pretty
clear what they wanted. And that's even makes the whole
thing more surprising to me. Why did you trade for
a guy that you felt can't get anything done, or
you can't get anything done, You can't get any movement
on this contract. It speaks to me that somebody dropped
the ball in the Jets organization or they got sold

(30:14):
a bill of good. But that's not going to do
a player any good. An agent shouldn't do that because
they're just putting the player in the same spot as
he already was and frustrated. So I feel like the
Jets somebody kind of got ahead of themselves and didn't
really cross off all the i's and t's to make
sure that they're ready to go with this movie, right.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
All right, last one before we let you go, Mark.
It is a different NFL than it was a few
years ago. Are you a fan of cutting everybody now?
Or did you like this staggered cut down that you
would have in the previous years of the NFL when
it was a four game season. Sometimes teams were playing
five games and they played in the Hall of Fame.
Do you like this process better? Do you like the
old way when it was staggered?

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (30:54):
I like this much much better. I like less preseason games.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
And you know.

Speaker 8 (31:00):
What the problem was for us back in the day
was that Fourth Priestson game. Terry knows that was all
those young guys were playing, like no, no, no, start, no,
those dudes are out there. And you know how hard
that was for me as a general manager to come
up with a team that was going to go on
the field because we just had to cut twenty five
thirty guys. I think those are the guys that were
going to play in the game. And also, uh, you know,

(31:21):
it just it was. It's so much better now because
you can see clubs are looking at this differently. But
now you can still if you decide you're going to
bench all your starters like some clubs are doing, you
can still give up guys the opportunities, but at least
you've got better players out there, or all these players
out there better options. In one game, I had to
take a guy from safety then move the corner and
finish the game at running back because he played high

(31:41):
school running back.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Wow to get through are great stories? Yeah that was
a great one.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Yeah, maybe maybe crazy newer is better. Mark, have a
great weekend. Yeah, safe travels wherever you're headed, and we'll
talk to you next week. Thanks about just stuff, Mark,
All right, Terry Joseph's nice to talk to you. He's

I'm Dan Bayer. And the guy that you hear is
Carrie Rhodes, Carry Rhodes and Liam Elliott during the cover
of the summer hits of Post Malone and Morgan Wallen
n to you. This is Carrie Absol a little bit

(33:00):
more of it. Whoa, whoa. You didn't tell us there
were you didn't tell us a second.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Hey, it's only one word.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Oh hey, it's a Friday. It's a fasty Friday.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Baby.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Uh, he is Carry Roads. I'm Dan Bayer. We may
have we may have missed all of that goodwill because
of the one word that was in the song that
it was just it was just released. Oh good it was.
I think American listeners got where can they hear that?

(33:38):
The song? Where can they go?

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Or you can find the coverts on YouTube under Liam
Elliott's page or mine carry Rhoads. Also on socials now
I think he posted already, so Instagram carry rhoads. Obviously,
Twitter carry twenty five roads.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
So there it is all the place. Good work. The
guy with irons and many fires cooking on that track.
Another guy who's cooking, Isaac Lowing Krown with his hot
cup of coffee. He has got the press.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
The press.

Speaker 5 (34:15):
This one's for you, buyer.

Speaker 7 (34:17):
In Major League Baseball, just a short time ago, it
was announced the new Seattle Mariners manager Dan Wilson has
appointed Hall of Famer Edgar Martinez as the Mariner's new
hitting coach. Martinez has spent the last six seasons as
a Mariner's organizational organizational hitting advisor.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Interesting, why is this for me?

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Aren't you a Mariners fan?

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Do I have this wrong?

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah, I'm a Seahawks fan.

Speaker 5 (34:44):
I'm a Rulers fan.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, that's all right, Mariners. Yeah, I wondered. I thought, well,
we have the same name of Dan, so I thought
maybe that that was that was it. I was wondering
what it was. But hey, good for the MS.

Speaker 7 (34:56):
Okay, here's here's Dan's advice to me after dropping that
last one. The blunt anyway, a more accurate baseball news.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
Hold on, No, I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
That's a different drop. That's Sam's favorite drop.

Speaker 7 (35:10):
Hold on in more accurate baseball news. The ballpark that
served as the cinematic home of the Rockford Peaches in
the movie A League of their Own has unfortunately been
destroyed by a fire overnight. Oh J Lyttleton Ballpark in Ontario, California,

(35:32):
built in the nineteen thirties, deemed a historic landmark in
two thousand and three, burned down overnight. Thankfully, no one
was injured. The cause of the fire presently unknown. Fox
Sports Radio has actually obtained some emotional audio of bystanders
at the scene.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Are you crying?

Speaker 8 (35:55):
No, are you crying?

Speaker 5 (35:59):
Let's go, there's now crying baseball Okay.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
I just want to say that when it burns on,
it's just the stands, right, like the whole field didn't
go up in flames. So we shouldn't still have a diamond, right,
we should still have a diamond?

Speaker 7 (36:15):
Yes, So this week's literal league games apparently still on. Finally,
newly crowned US Olympic Women's soccer gold medalist Lynn Williams
has unfortunately broken her gold medal. Williams was celebrating Team
USA's victory at a club and had draped the medal
on her shoulder as if it were a purse. While dancing,

(36:37):
The medal separated from the ribbon and fell on the floor,
denting the gold medal. Williams says she wishes they would
have made the medals sturdier and that she now has
the world's most expensive coaster.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Remember remember earlier in the show and Carrie was humble
bragging on how you know women were leaving their phone
numbers on his cars. I didn't say women, woman one.
Remember when Sam humble bragg. Then now we had traveled
through various parts of Puerto Rico. That's right, Wearing your
Olympic medal to a club is not humble bragging. In fact,

(37:14):
you deserve whatever you get for bringing your Olympic medal
to the club.

Speaker 7 (37:18):
Actually, in fairness to miss Williams, I believe it was
in Paris after they had won the gold medal and
was celebrating with their teammates. So I'm guessing that is
eligible for some understanding.

Speaker 5 (37:30):
I'm guessing I.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Put that thing away for safe keeping immediately. Yes, it
would be wrapped up in four pairs of underwear in
my suitcase, and then I would probably just put in
my carry on because there's no way that I was
going to be letting go of that.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
Man, if you put it in four pair of underwhere
you're definitely losing that and you're going to forget it
for sure. It's going to be in like the laundry somewhere.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
In no way, in a way, not if you sort
it like I sort it. You put your dirty clothes
in the plastic bags and the clean leftovers you have
folded and you can wrap it up that way.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
So no mingland, no mingland of the of the draws.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Do you take any trophies or anything to any of
the clubs when you went? No, I have not done that.
You know why, because it's stupid. It's dumb. That's the
press that you get out there and pressed. That was
the press to Isaac Jason, Iowa Sam and get Carrie's
new single wherever you can. He's carried roads. I'm dan Byer.

(38:24):
Have a great weekend.
