Speaker 2 (00:19):
All right, everybody, Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, It's Friday. I
went to a Jets game fourteen years ago and the
person I wanted to see was Fireman Ed. I have like,
(00:40):
this was before video cameras were on phone, so I
brought my own digital camera. I had like six videos
of Fireman Ed from my seat, just of him leading
the charges of the New York Jets.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
How clear was the image?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
I want to know more about this camera. Did it
have the little flip screen?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
No, it was just a pocket one. Yeah, that's all
it was. But I constantly just kept on like any
time I thought he would do is I And by
the way, I was so many sections, yeah, so far away.
Then when I would zoom in, like it would just
be blurry pixels.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
That's all it was, right, But you were there, you
know you were there, and we are here in LA
broadcasting live from the tierrac dot com studios. Tyrac dot

Speaker 2 (01:37):
And nothing has changed, Bonci, because the expectations for a
New York Jets quarterback in twenty ten were the same
as they are in twenty twenty four. Actually think it
was twenty eleven when I went, but still the point
being is the expectations and I at first have my
arm high, it's going lower and lower and lower and lower.
(01:59):
And No, last night's game on Amazon to start Week
three wasn't one of those headline grabbers. We're still talking
about Otani, which we will in twenty minutes or so,
but there actually is a bigger reason why last night
was a big deal. And the bigger reason is this.
You gotta give the New York Jets fans some grace.
(02:20):
Last night was a big, big night for them. And
the reason it's a big, big night is because this
franchise has been riddled with poor quarterback play for I
would say almost fifty years. But there are people who
are like Joe Navi's not a Hall of famer. He
used to throw no more interceptions than he has touchdowns.
How the heck is he a Hall of famer? So
(02:41):
you can even go plus fifty years when talking about
the New York Jets and last night when they see
Aaron Rodgers throwing the football around the yard like he
did almost three hundred yards, almost a magnificent perfect night,
aside from one instance on the sideline and about sixteen
yards short of a three hundred yard game. It was
(03:04):
a script that New York Jets fans have been craving for,
not for the season, not since Rogers went down with
his achilles tendon, but basically forever. That's why last night
was a big deal.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
But you know, I don't necessarily agree that the bar
is low.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Are you saying that the bar is low.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
For Jets fans? Because for football fans, I wouldn't say that.
I feel the way that Aaron Rodgers is looked at, scrutinize,
criticized left and right. And also let's talk about let's
not forget to mention last year going down what for
snaps in and I feel like there was actually a
lot of pressure going into this season, and so I
(03:43):
don't know if I necessararily agree with you unless you're.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Talking about Jets fans.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
For Jets fans, the bar is low just because of
how terrible their history has been with quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Do you think Jets fans were excited last night?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I don't know many Jets fans, but I'm gonna say yes,
I think they were as well.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, right, Ian.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Roddy, as a producer and editor here at Fox Sports Radio, Yes,
Ian was excited.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Sure, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Jason Smith, Jason Smith was exciting most of the Jason
Smith Show with Mike Harmon week knights on Fox Sports Radio.
He was excited. The Jets fans that I saw on
Twitter last night were excited or on X excuse me,
it's Twitter. But to you and me as as non
Jets fans, it was a twenty four to three blowout
(04:29):
game that never was really close.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But it's everything within that game that is the reason
why it's a bigger deal. It's Rogers not tearing his
achilles on the fourth play from scrimmage in front of
the home fans last night. It's not having your best
seasons in the last fifteen years, be Mark Sanchez handing
the football off to Sean Green. It's not that any
Testaverdi was like fifty two years old when he was
(04:55):
leading the Jets in the mid nineties. I may be exaggerating,
but that's what it was at that time. And no
disrespect of any Testaverdi, who completely turned his career around
and is one heck of an NFL quarterback. But this
is Aaron Rodgers. And even though Aaron Rodgers is forty,
last night he looked anything butt forty. And this is
(05:15):
why it's a bigger deal is because it's not just
twenty four to three, And why did Gerrod Mayo put
Drake may in at the end of the game. That's
trying to find something that happened last night. Everything that
happened last night is reading between the lines. And we'll
read between the lines of what happened with Robert solid
Aaron Rodgers, because that's a big part of this. But
when you think of the Jets, you're right. I picked
(05:36):
the Jets to win the division, so a win last
night shouldn't have any effect on that. But this team
has never really had hope. They've had good teams They've
hoped to beat Tom Brady, They've hoped to have that upset,
but they've never had it at the most important position,
where now they actually have someone there that can win
(05:57):
a game on their own or make it look effort
list like Aaron Rodgers did last night. You know, I'm
not a huge Rogers fan, but I do appreciate his craft.
There are people who call him the greatest of all
time because of how he's played the position. Even Drake
May got into some heat last night because he said
I'm waiting for the goat. Then Mike Garafalo had to
clear up his tweet and why Drake May was saying
(06:19):
goat and the whole deal. Whatever the case is, this
franchise has been miserable for so long, and finally, in
a shining light, they have their quarterbacks. And it may
only be a year, may only be two years, who
knows what it is. But that's why last night was
a big deal for New York Jets fans. That's why
just winning a regular season game in September over the
(06:40):
Patriots your arrival. For the last twenty years, I mean,
hacking have been since twenty fifteen, since I think the
stat was since they had beaten the Patriots at home.
I believe that the stat was But so you have
all of that come down to last night, Jets overmanned
the Patriots. That's how we see it. Completely different story
with the Jets.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Fans, sure it might be and beyond.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
To me, as a non Jets fan, I looked at
that game and I was just like, Okay, here's the
Jets defense that I was expecting to see weeks one
and two, because that was one of the big things
with why I thought the Jets would be successful. I
don't know if I had them winning the division, but
I did pick them to go into the playoffs because
I thought their defense kept them afloat last year with
(07:25):
Zach Wilson. Aaron Rodgers has to be the difference maker
to get them those three more wins to get into
the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
So I hear everything you're saying.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
You're right a big deal because Aaron Rodgers did look
very comfortable out there. But to me, the defense showing
up was actually also a really big deal.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I think the Patriots played a role in that they're
extremely limited, but it's a defense that lost Remaine Johnson
last week, didn't have CJ. Moseley last night, and obviously
we know about his sond Reddick. All of that is
not good for the Jets. But guess what, all of
that did not matter because they have their quarterback. It
would have mattered if if it was Zach Wilson. It
would have mattered. If it was Mark Sanchez, it would
have mattered. If it was Ken O'Brien, it would have mattered,
(08:05):
if it was Richard Todd, it would have mattered, if
it was Joe Namath. Think you can go on bumrisias
and keep on naming Jet Chad Penning the whole deal, Like,
let's just keep on going naming Jet's quarterbacks. Those things
wouldn't have mattered last night. It didn't matter. What also
mattered was Aaron Rodgers giving a death stare to his
head coach, which is another between the lines headline from
last night that we just can't seem to get away.
(08:26):
So as much as I want to praise Aaron Rodgers,
we now have the death stare scene for Miles Away,
I'm just.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Like, why, Aaron, Why.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
You already know what people think of you, so why
give them more, ammo? Because there's nothing you could say
after that incident that the camera caught and I was like, man,
did you see that?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I rewinded it and I was like, let's look at
it again. Me and my friend.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I was like, I should you tape it on a
VCR videotape? Is that? No?
Speaker 6 (08:54):
No? No?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Luckily I can rewind. So I did rewind and we
watched it again. I was like, look at him, thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I was like, look at him. He like stops him
hard and gives him a gives him a.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Look like I don't like you, get off of me.
And obviously that's not what they sent after. But I
just was like, Aaron, this is week three. You can't pretend.
For a hot second, you can't pretend.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Aaron Rodgers gave an explanation on why he gave Robert
Sala death stare during last day. So is after the
second touchdown? Correct? Was that after the second touchdown to
go up thirteen to three with the extra point coming up?
This is Aaron Rodgers' explanation.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
He's not a big hugger usually, so I don't know
he was going for the hug. He likes to do
the two hand chest push as well, but he talks
a lot about two score leads. So I just kind
of gave him a push and said, two score lead.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
That's what happened. They were okay, it was fourteen, it
was fourteen to nothing, that fourteen to three. They went
up fourteen to nothing at that point, and the two
score lead. I don't know necessarily what he is talking
about at that point. Yeah, I don't know if you
should not get excited from a two score lead, But
at that point Aaron Rodgers, who I don't think realized
(10:10):
he was being recorded.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
But okay, come on, man, you have to assume Aaron
Rodgers has to assume the camera is on him twenty
four to seven.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I don't think he did, because that's why I think
he stared him down. I think that is that's the
underlying portion of this. Plus Sala just seems like such
an alpha male. Yeah, and to see Rogers almost put
him in his place with that stare resonated so much more.
Of course, I mean, if to have Sala be so excited,
(10:43):
which says one thing considering all that he has been through,
and then it shows how many eggs of his are
in Aaron Rodgers' basket, and Aaron Rodgers still won't let
him have that moment. There wasn't even a smirk from
Aaron Rodgers after that. I compared it to the Kobe
Bryant were up to. Job is not done. Is that
what Aaron Rodgers wanted to say? Or was that his
(11:04):
point or did he want to send a message to
Robert Sala saying like, look, man, this is still my show.
I'm running it. You need to chill out. We haven't
done anything. Get out of my face. That's the sense
that I got from that.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Look and the way you just said all that was
better than how he handled it. Just the way it
was executed on his end, it looked so terrible. Whether
it is him saying, this is still my team, you
need to chill out, whether it's him saying, don't get excited.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
We haven't won yet. There's still plenty of game to go.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Whatever the intention was, all it did though, was shine
a light on the type of guy that Aaron Rodgers
comes off to the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Because I don't know him.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Personally, I can just make assumptions based on what he says,
how he acts, and all of that. Just like added
to that where I'm like, bro, like you do not
seem like a fun guy to have a cocktail with.
Let me tell you that you do not seem like
somebody that I want to be friends with. And I
don't want my quarterback and my coach to have that
type of relationship that looked toxic.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
There's nothing worse than not knowing your boundary, right, Yeah,
Like there's something, there's something, yes that where like Sala
thought you were good and then you weren't. It's like
giving do you give someone a hug in a social
setting and then they extend a handshake and then you're like, Okay,
(12:26):
what do I do? That's awkward enough When you know
each other and are on the same team and you
can't even get it correct, that's a bigger problem.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
It almost like would have been better if he just
would have walked away from him.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, but he.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Like stopped him hard, like like you said, exerted his
like elphinis over Sala's elphinus.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
This is Robert Sala explaining his side of the botch hug.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Part of the things that we've been talking about is
to just get the defense a too scorely and two
score leads. So I guess you just wanted to see
something on defense. It just reminded me that he got
a two score lead.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I mean, it's interesting that they both mentioned something about
a two score lead. So I'm like, all right, which
PR person handled this on the sideline? Was like, listen,
you're both gonna say something about this when they ask
you about it, because you are literally on everyone's TV screen.
Everyone has positive and they're talking about this moment. That
was a total PR move.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Did your family ever take take a vacation and go
to a hotel with a pool, like a swimming pool?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Not that really I can remember. We didn't take a
lot of vcages.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Okay, Like I'm not talking about Disney, and I'm just like, yeah,
out of town, you go to a hotel it has
a pool, and as a kid, you loved it. That
was one of my things of going to a hotel
with a pool. There weren't a lot of hotels with
pools where I grew up. Iowa, Sam, you're with me
on that. Absolutely big deal. Parents say hey, you can
(14:00):
swim tomorrow. My mom says, guess what, you can go
swimming at the hotel pool tomorrow. Well, the pool opens
at six am, so at five point fifty nine you're
ready to go, not necessarily what your mom or your
parents were talking about when they said you could swim tomorrow.
To score lead in the fourth quarter, completely different story
(14:22):
than to score lead midway through the second quarter of
your first home game of the year. So there's that
aspect of it as well. So if Sala is preaching, hey,
to score lead, to score lead, and Rogers comes off
the field in the second quarter giving him a two
score lead, the job isn't done yet. That's where I
think Rogers is saying, like there's a miscommunication on what
(14:45):
to score lead is, Just like there's a miscommunication on well,
I thought we were going swimming today. The pool opens
at six am. Yet you'll go swimming at five pm
a little bit later on. We are not going right now.
That's the disconnect that I feel that Rogers and Sala
had of all right, two score lead. Rogers like, well,
big deal, two score lead in the second quarter. Heck
(15:06):
those evaporate all the time. Two scored lead in the
fourth quarter is a bigger deal because it makes the
other team one dimensional. That's how I'm trying to solve this,
That's how I'm trying to think of They're not even
on the same page. When they're trying to send a
message about what a two score lead is. This is
just Rogers being a jerk, like even in a great moment.
That's probably the biggest takeaway. As they praised Rogers at
the start, the real takeaway is that Rogers just had
(15:28):
an opportunity where he felt like he could be a
jerk and he took advantage.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Of it full fully took advantage of it.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
And here's the thing is that I think I don't
believe that that's really why he handled Sola like that
because he didn't think the job was done. It looked
like he just genuinely doesn't like the guy. And that's
what he said in the moment because he just, you know,
didn't want to say something worse than what he did.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
But I really feel like it was more than that.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
That was just what came out of his mouth in
the moment as to why he stopped the coach whip?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Am I crazy to think that the rest of the
team would have gotten a weird message if they would
have had a hug?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Good?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
What do you mean that the team would have thought
it was weird if they hugged?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah? Like, does Aaron Rodgers send the message to the Jets.
I hugged Robert Sala on the second quarter, so we've
accomplished a lot. I keep going back to the Kobe
two zero thing because I do think that that's Aaron Rodgers'
scapegoat and all of this job's not finished. Job is
not done. If you're the New York Jets who have
(16:32):
laid out the misery of that franchise earlier, are you
really going to take a victory lap up fourteen to
nothing on the Patriots in the second quarter of Week three?
Doesn't that send a bad message to the rest of
the team. If Rogers is getting to that point again,
I can understand it a heck of a lot more,
but I'm trying to give him as many outs as
(16:54):
I can.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
No, I hear what you're saying, and you're right, there
may be a little bit to that.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You're probably right.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
It still wasn't handled properly. Even if that is the
underlying feeling. You still came off like a total jerk.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So what should he have done? Hugged him? No, give
him the smirk at the end album.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Maybe a smirk. It's just the way he stopped him.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Come on, the double fist because he didn't just put
his hand like softly on him and been like, yo,
we're not done, because that's all you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Like that, Really you.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Could have done all of that, but your hand open,
not both fists stopping him. And it looked like Sola
even pushed like there was you know, pressure from both sides.
All of that just looked like there was tension. So
easily he could have stopped him and said, job's not done,
done a wink. He loves to wink. We've seen him
do it done, a little whatever smirk, and then ran
(17:44):
onto the field.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, I don't think he knew that the camera was on.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
How does That's one another thing I can't get on.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I can't get with.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
You on that one because I don't I think that
he wanted Robert Sala to know that I'm not playing
this game like it's a mind game with everyone. I
don't think he wanted everybody else to know about it. Yeah,
do you guys think he was recorded? Sam Jason, do
you think that he knew that he was on camera?
Speaker 9 (18:08):
You should expect to You should expect to be surveiled
at all times, whether you're in a stadium, you're on TV,
you're playing, you're walking down the street. Their cameras everywhere,
so somebody probably got the reaction.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Just assume because it wasn't it was a camera from
the sideline that caught him do that. So it wasn't
like it was a game camera or something like that
that would be able to see. I understand that there
are cameras everywhere. I just I think that his message
was to tell Robert Sola to put him in his place,
that this is my team, this is my deal.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
Right after a touchdown though, too, So it's like they
always get those.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Reactions, right, like, how do you not anticipate one camera
on you pretty much the entire game, especially after a touchdown.
We did have somebody respond to us. Assad Lyndon is
the name, and says, Aaron Rodgers owns Robert sala.
Speaker 9 (19:01):
Can I just can I just say something. I think
Robert sala is really I'm I'm sorry. I think Robert
Sawa is really desperate to win and he wants to
get them. He knows he's a few years behind with
the Jets just because of you know, injuries and last
year and just just a whole bunch of things, just
getting having the team stall out. I think he's a
good coach, and he's like, we should be a winning franchise,
(19:23):
we should be a winning organization. And Rogers is just like,
I've won a super Bowl, I've won four MVPs, I've
gotten the playoffs like almost every year I've been a quarterback.
Give me just give it more time, don't get too ahead.
A few weeks from now, let's say week nine, week ten,
and they have a great record. All of this stuff,
this awkwardness is gonna be like a castle in the sand.
It's going to wash it away by the tide.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
So you agree with the Kobe up to oh, like,
Kobe not satisfied, You agree right, Like Rogers is like,
we're not there yet. We're only two and one now.
So I'm trying to give Rogers the benefit of that.
I like that. I think to the point of him
giving a smirk to Sala could have helped the situations, didn't. Yeah, yes, yeah,
But in trying to give him the benefit of the doubt,
(20:03):
I think that's what Rogers would say he was doing.
And also in reality.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
It is just a jerk, right. And to add to
what Sam is saying.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
It's like I I think it was a nice moment.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
That Robert Sala felt happy right there, Like it's been such.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
A rough time for Robert Sala too. He's been having
to defend the Jets for so long, and so I
it's like you he was. He seemed genuinely excited in
that moment, and then Aaron Rodgers was like.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Nope, yeah, it hasn't been a picnic for him either. Yeah,
like you know, so he's got more to lose as well.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
It just doesn't make Aaron Rodgers look good in any way,
shape or form, even if it's the Mamba mentality and
where job's not done, I don't care.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
This is the best of the Done Dot Leaf Show
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
You always have plans when you're a parent, and sometimes
those plans don't work out. I'm going to tell you
what that plan was that did not work out ten
minutes or so. It's also when Isaac Longcrown is going
to give us the latest of what is happening on
this Friday. She's Monty Blaios, I'm Dan Bayer. We are
in for Doug Gottlieb on The Doug Gottlieb Show Live
from the Tiraq dot Com Studios. What better way to
(21:13):
get prepped for the upcoming weekend of college and pro
ball than with our good buddy, our Fox Sports Radio
betting analyst who's the co host of Fox Sports Radios
Countdown to Kickoff with Rich Ornberger and Brian Know. It
airs each Saturday between nine and New Eastern Time, and
you can listen live on any of our Fox Sports
Radio affiliates or on the iHeartRadio app presented by Bett MGM.
(21:37):
The One the only Jared Smith joins the program.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Hello, Jared, dan Monts, it's great to be with you.
That was a very nice, warm welcome.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Well we are. We love having you on because we
not only love your advice, Jared, but it is a
conversation that Jared Smith is one of those few guys
who can take something that may be so confusing to
someone and simplify it down. So that's why we love
having you on. Jared, Gus, that's a compliment that you
(22:07):
take a confusing betting world and make it easier for
people to understand. So you should take that as a
compliment because it's not easy to do.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
We actually said that during our preview.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I wasn't a yeah, it was not a fake compliment.
It was not a fake compliment. Why am I having
a tough time believing Nebraska is going to cover the
eight and a half tonight? There's something about the aligne
I that I don't know. I just can't get away from.
How do you think it plays out tonight?
Speaker 6 (22:35):
Yeah, this is an interesting game. You know, you get
both teams ranked for the first time since eighty five,
you know, so you kind of get a throwback vibe.
Nebraska's three and oh for the first time and basically
a decade Illinois it's been kind of two decades. I
think the Nebraska offense will have an edge in this game.
Their top twenty and rushing dal Dell, the Oregon transfer,
(22:55):
has been great, nearly six yards per carry. And listen,
Zreela kid, this freshman, this Mahomes look alike. He's been
very clean, just one interception.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
The key is he hasn't been in a lot of
high leverage spots.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
It's impressive that he's a freshman and he's top twenty
five nationally in QBR. But you know, Utap Colorado, Northern Iowa.
This is a step up in class tonight against Illinois.
It's not the Illinois defense we've known from years past,
which has been unbelievable against the run.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
They're actually better against the pass.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
They've got two studs in the secondary, both last named Scott,
Miles Scott Xavier Scott combined for five of the six
team I and TS. So for Nebraska, can you establish
the run? Can you get Daldell going? Can you keep
Rayola comfortable? He's at home, which certainly helps. But this
Illinois offense has been impressive. Alt Meyer's been I would say,
way better than expected, especially when he's been kept clean.
(23:49):
The RPO game has been really crisp. The Nebraska defense
is unique. Tony White, the defensive coordinator, kind of likes
to mix things up. They they hail Travis Hunter in
check to one of his worst games of the year.
So I think that's a positive because Illinois has a
couple of explosive receivers Franklin and Bryant that are averaging
nearly three yards per rout run. So kind of that's
the chess match there is. Can Tony White mix up
(24:11):
the looks and keep Altmeyer kind of uncomfortable because the
RPO game, again has been very effective for Illinois's offense.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
This year, Jared, how's Jack Pott?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Oh, he's great.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
I'm actually about to take him to daycare because I'm
about to go out for the afternoon. So he has
usually a Friday afternoon session with his friends. He has
a group of friends that he plays with the daycare
every week.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I love that so much. But let's talk sports here.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
I'm looking at the USC Michigan game and I see
that USC is favored by four and a half. I
find that a little bit low, given that Michigan seems
to have questions when it comes to their quarterback.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Yeah, I think Alex Orgi is about as one dimensional
as it gets, severely limited as a passer. I think
you're going to see a lot of the RPO game
this week, and that's scary because the r has been bad.
Mullins emerged last, but it was against Arkansas State. They
need Donovan Edwards to be a rock star. He still
has not seen. I don't know what it is you
(25:07):
would expect with that offensive line he would progress throughout
his career. It looks like he's gotten worse just four
point two yards per carry this season, and they don't
have a lot of skillet wide receiver and their best
receiving weapon their tight end, Colston Loveland, who has nineteen.
The team only has fifty one catches all year, nineteen
of them are the Loveland He's not.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Going to play.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
So how much can you go twelve personnel with two
tight ends when your starters out? How much can you
play from a negative game script against a USC defense?
Speaker 5 (25:34):
This might sound crazy. I know you guys in La
might not.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
You know, this is wild USC defense what they're doing
this year, and a lot of coaching switches is what
I've analyzed so far. You've got the new DC Anton Lynn,
you got the assistant DC matt.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Ens from North Dakota State. It's done a good job.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
And then the d line coach Henderson came over from
the rams of coach Daron Donald. So just a lot
of brain trust improved on that USC sidelines. Defensively, off
the buy, you would expect Miller Moss to have a
good game plan. We know Michigan's gonna blitz wink. Martindale
has one speed and it's blitz. It's like that's all
he knows how to do. That's why it's not in
(26:11):
the NFL anymore. Uh sixty percent blitz rate against Fresno,
fifty percent against ark State, forty five percent against Texas.
So Miller Moss knows the blitz is coming. The release
time has been quick, the adjusted accuracy is strong. Can
he get the ball out efficiently? If he can, I'm
with you, Moncie. I think USC's defense is ready to
stop the run, and I think this offense might be
(26:31):
ready to explode.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I got one more in the college game before we
shift to the NFL. Jared Smith joining us here on
Fox Sports Radio, co host of Fox Sports Radios Countdown
to kickoff. What about the other LA team, UCLA goes
on the road at LSU. I think the Bruins are
involved in one of your better bets this weekend.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yeah, I get so.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
It's kind of funny because the way the markets worked
in in college football, it's like Friday.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
When the limits open up.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
It's like a title wave, and you just don't know
what's going to be the wave of bets.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
I gave this out this morning.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
LSU was laying twenty two and a half points, and
I thought twenty four was fair here because it was
twenty five earlier in the week. And then all of
a sudden, a wave of money on UCLA came in.
I don't know if maybe someone there's news broke injury Brook.
I don't know, maybe it was just, you know, some
really smart people knew something. But now you can get
this at twenty one. I still think LSU absolute blows
him out. Everything I've heard from UCLA this week. The
(27:25):
practice has been a disaster. They had to start practice
over on Tuesday. I thought, they go to Hawaii, they
struggle in the first half. That's a tough way to
start the season. You go to all the way to
Hawaii with a new head coach, new scheme, and you
struggle in the first half, and then you close the
door in the second half.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
You win the game.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Then you get a bye week, and then you get
Indiana's defense coming in, and I thought that was an opportunity.
Indiana hasn't played anybody for UCLA's offense to kind of
get going. And the first play of the game was
like a fumble off, like a you know, a box
snap on an RPO. And I'm just thinking to myself,
you Sila, like, what are you doing? That's your first
snap off the buy And now you have to go
to LSU this week.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Now we'll see what they have left in the tank.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
They got pushed around by South Carolina last week seven
yards per carry. The South Carolina quarterback is an absolute
rock star. Sellers keep a very close eye on him.
And then they've got Rockett Sanders too, who's really good.
Just a big step down in class for LSU's defense
facing a UCLA with Garbers and Harden who really had
one good year as a freshman campaign but hasn't really
(28:25):
shown much since. And I really liked what I saw
in the LSU ground game. Kayden Durham, this freshman, this
four star kid out of Texas, looks really good. So
I still think LSU blows them out. I think UCLA's
in for a really long season, and I don't care
what the market did today, I'm still going to back
the Tigers on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Well, let's move on to the NFL.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Here, we got the Chargers on the Steelers questionable if
Justin Herbert is going to play, but even with him playing,
the total for points was.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Thirty four and a half, and I feel like that
game is.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Going to be low scoring on both sides, high defense
on both sides. Now, maybe there's not even a Justin
Herbert So is that an easy bet?
Speaker 6 (29:03):
Jared, Yeah, I'm worried because I put the Chargers in
a teaser this week and I thought for sure that
Herbert was gonna play, and then the news today.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
So the way I analyze the injury report in the.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
NFL, if a guy just pops up on Friday, like
Brian Burns with the Giants today, that's a bad omen
for Sunday. If he's not on the injury report by
Wednesday and he just like appears, like, you know, randomly,
like a ghost, I think that is a bat. That's
that's trending down. So I don't know if justin Herbert's
gonna have no idea, but that is not a good sign.
(29:38):
That's a red flag.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Right. The total is the totals in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Like you go to the college ranks and they're in
the sixties seventies, and you see some of these totals
in the NFL, And this.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Is the way that Jim Harbour wants to play football.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
He wants to run the ball and he wants to
play defense, and his team is really bought into that strategy.
I know it's Carolina and I know it's Vegas, but
thirteen points in two games allowed by this Chargers defense.
I mean both games have stayed way under and just
Steelers are two and zero on the road, just like.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
We all expected. Justin Fields, top fifteen offense, just like.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
We all expected for the Steelers, the defense has been
really good, top five across the board in efficiency. Another
week of justin Fields, maybe we get Herbert.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
I think this total probably keeps going lower.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Jared Smith joining us here on Fox Sports Radio last ones.
For me, as we look at a crazy week in
the National Football League, and I say it's crazy because
we have the double header on Monday night, the last
game of the night, Commanders Bengals Cincinnati zero and two.
This year, we saw their close affair that they had
against the Kansas City Chiefs. Commanders get in the win
(30:49):
column last week with a win over the Giants where
they don't score a touchdown, the kick seven field goes
to get the wins. Same yeah, how do you How
do you like that last game of the week that
we've gotten Week three?
Speaker 6 (30:59):
I think the the seven and a half dangling out
there is gonna be very enticing for the professionals here
in town on Monday. The one thing you need to
always keep in mind the public in these games has
their say. What I mean by that is by the
time we get to Monday night, especially let's say the
Chiefs lose on Sunday Night, because you know they're gonna
(31:19):
be in a lot of moneyline parlays Sunday night football
mahomes and then you get this Monday double header with
two favorites at home. It's gonna be all Buffalo and
Cincinnati money. And if you like Washington in the game,
you think, if you think their game, and you think
Cincinnati maybe coming off the game last week against the Chiefs,
you know, might be a little bit tired, and you
(31:40):
know Washington's looked okay, this number is gonna go to
eight or nine, probably on Monday Night because the public
likes to back the favorites and they like to back
the over. So if you like Cincinnati, bet it now.
Especially if the t Higgins news becomes confirmed then he plays.
This probably gets to eight or nine. So that's kind
of how I view these games.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I think.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
I mean, this is like a super Bowl for Cincinnati.
You can't start owing three. Over the last five years,
forty one teams have started oh and two just two.
The Bengals in twenty two, and then the Texans last
year started ohing to on the division had made the playoffs.
So you can't start owing three like this is a
must win for the Bengals. So use him in a
teaser if you want to bet him. I bet him
now because probably by the time we get the Monday,
this thing will be a little bit higher.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
All right. He's Jared Smith here on Saturday mornings talking
college ball with Brian Noah and Rich Ornberger on Fox
Sports Radios. Countdown to Kickoff Again, airing each Saturday between
nine and noon Eastern. Listen live on any of our

Speaker 5 (32:36):
Good luck this weekend everyone.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
She's Manti Bolano, So I'm Dan Bier. Let's head to
the news desk Isaac Lower and Crown giving us the
latest to what's going on on this Friday late. Yes,
should include Big ten field hockey that we've got on
the screen right now with Sam's Iowa Hawkeyes.
Speaker 11 (32:50):
Oly sure that that is live or is that replayed?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
It says live?
Speaker 11 (32:56):
OK?
Speaker 9 (32:57):
Listen, guys, I put Big ten network on it here
because this is a Big ten country now, so it's
like we have to be doing our jobs. I suppose
monitoring Iowa versus Northwestern field hockey, just saying.
Speaker 11 (33:09):
Does that exchange extend to other Iowa sports?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yes, okay, if this was if this was Illinois Nebraska
field hockey, would we be watching right now?
Speaker 9 (33:21):
I put this on like an hour or two ago,
and it went right into this field hockey match, which
Iowa and Northwestern some of the better field hockey team
is the Big ten. But I just need we need
to stay on our beat here. This is Big ten country,
always has been, always will be Los Angeles.
Speaker 11 (33:35):
Well, with that in mind, with fifteen forty eight left
to play in the second and frankly America, I don't
know if it's the second period or the second. Number
one Northwestern leading fourth ranked Iowa one to nothing on
a goal by Ella cokeinnis the assist by how about
how about this for a name Ilsea Trump so Ilsea
(33:57):
Trump t r M trying to help Northwestern Trump over
Iowa to Northwestern great again because of spelling is with
an US yes, beating same village. Iowa goalkeeper Mia Magnata.
I love some of these names in goal for Northwestern
(34:20):
pitching a shutout so far?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Is there a Sarah Vance on Northwestern so we could
have a Trump Vance tickets? Is there a way possibly?
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Fox Sports Radio had the best sports talk lineup in
the nation.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
Catch all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot
com and within the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
We have a first year on Fox Sports Radio. My
mom has actually agreed with my take. Yes, there have
been times where I will talk with mom after the show.
I don't agree with your take on Aaron Rodgers. I
don't think that's the reason she agrees. Fall colors. The
changing of the colors is what is the best about
the fall.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I mean, I get it, and I feel like that's
because where you're from, isn't there a real fall and
like real colors, real deal, real.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Real real weather, like you guys.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Actually go through the season, correct, right, So that's what
it is, because like you know, here, we don't really
have that.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
No, it's honestly, it's like early December and like a
tree starts to change its leaves and you're like, what, Yeah,
it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
For like us for like a day, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Okay, that's fine. A couple more days like it'll and
then it'll then the leaves are just gone. But it's
not like a full range or not.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
It's really not.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Uh Monsey says, trees just lose their leaves in forty
eight hours. It's like boom, done gone.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
It's just there is no pretty full time here. You're right,
it's not pretty like that like the pictures I see
like this.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Those are real places.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
I put up.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Christmas lights once in ninety degree weather the day after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 10 (35:54):
Jason Stewart, I love that your mom listens to the show.
I can't get my dad to ever do anything I do.
He wants nothing to do with sports. But my late
mom used to always say that raising me in southern California,
you have no idea what it's like to experience seasons.
She would say that to the day she died. She
(36:15):
grew up in upstate New York. I guess if you
have anywhere other than southern California, you know what seasons
are all about.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
I always think about that. I have always said the
biggest deal to me is you love a fifty degree
day in the fall because of the briskness of it,
and I'm looking at Iowa, Sam, because I'm looking at
three Angelinos Los Angeleos next to me. Fifty degree day
in the fall, amazing. Let's throw on the flannel, let's
(36:45):
go outside. It's great. Fifty degree day in March. Shorts,
short sleeves, shirt, because you're used to it being ten degrees,
so the fifty feels like it is just it's basically
hot outside. So fifty degree weather day in October is
loved because it's cool to you. And a fifty degree
(37:06):
day in March is amazing in spring because now it's
the thaw. You've been used to temperatures that are thirty
and forty degrees colder for the previous four or five months,
so that it's amazing and its amazing time, right, Sam,
I agree with that.
Speaker 9 (37:21):
Well, here's also a thing esthetically, October fifty degrees and
how everything looks much more beautiful than March. Everything in
March is brown, muddy. You know, you're like, oh, I
just want to get away from winter. You're entering, so
we still have two more days of summer, and then
when you get in the fall, it's still kind of
dry and there's some sun out. I feel like you
don't see the sun in the Midwest in March. The
(37:43):
point that Sam is trying to make is correct, but
there's a different thinking because you're actually going into the cold,
but you're warned by it because of the.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Coloring of condition. Yes, yeah, you don't care about the
leaves not being on the tree in the snow being
money because you've been underneath the snow for four months
and it's been freezing. So you'll see guys out playing
basketball in fifty degree weather on March twelfth because it
hasn't been like that, and the snow actually melted, so
(38:16):
the pavement is there. But it is a different you
for it. And that's the point that I'm making, is
it's fifty degrees both times. They're both awesome for both
different reasons. Yeah, because it's a new berth. The spring
is the new birth. The colors warm you with the
chill of the fall.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
You know, when I'm working on Dodger Stadium and the tours.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
And it's cold for us here in LA it's sixty degrees.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
We're wearing jackets at top deck.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
There's like a breeze and we're like all, you know,
warmed up or sometimes it's like fifty degrees and literally
I see somebody walk up flip flops and shorts, and
I'm like, where are you visiting from? Because I know
you're not from here and literally from somewhere that has
real weather. But I always know when it's hold over
here and somebody walks up in flip flops, I'm like,
you are not from la oh.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Yeah. Like, as someone who plays golf when it thaws,
it's amazing when you start to see the fairways that
have been covered in snow. It's a great feel. It's
there's but there's there's a little bit of a sadness
in the fall when when the golf courses closed and
the pins are taken out of the green.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
I didn't even know colors warm you golf courses.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
They do, Yeah, they Unfortunately they grass turns yells.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
That makes sense, wouldn't it.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
It's tough to play golf in the fall because sometimes
the leaves. If you're on a tree lined course, you're like,
where's my golf ball? Finding the golf ball the leaves
is much more difficult, uh than it may appear at
the surface.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Seems like a game in itself, it is.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
It truly is all right, let's get back on track. Okay,
we're six minutes in and we've talked about fall. This
is a sports talk show, so let's talk about dating. Yeah,
injury said this.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Which all tight? Yeah, let's talk. I really want to
see who you gonna I love these combos because like
what who is?
Speaker 10 (40:05):
Like?
Speaker 6 (40:06):
Nah?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Like he gotta be tall?
Speaker 5 (40:08):
No, only fross area six seven, six eight?
Speaker 11 (40:11):
Okay, so at NBA MBK with them one baby, skip
pearls and pregnant.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Okay, Okay, I need to I don't know too many
of them. I'm gonna make a call.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah, I don't know too many six eight guys as well.
That from unapologetically Angel. But is it wrong for Angel
Reese who is sixty three to want a man who
is six seven or six eight?
Speaker 4 (40:38):
It's not wrong, But that is difficult because she's she's
listening at sixty three, So I'm gonna assume she's not.
I'm assume she's like six one and a half six two.
I'm assume they gave her a little bit more, but
she is tall.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
But finding a man who's like six one sixty two
sixty three, I feel like it's.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
A lot easier than finding a man who's six seven,
six eight, and I understand why she wants a taller dude.
We're not used to seeing women be taller than the
dude they're dating.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
But when you're that tall, I feel like it's gonna
be harder.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
She probably you know, wants to wear her heels and
all of that, but that that's hard.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
You're she's limiting her pool.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Yeah, I agree, real small pool there, and it's to
the NBA basically, or anybody who plays professional basketball. Yeah,
because there's just there's six eight, six ' nine and
that would they say six to seven.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
And the seven six eight is what she said.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Yeah, like six four six five, right, that's common. Yeah, yeah,
it's more common. It's more that it's common. But yeah,
we've got guys you're six two, six three here to go,
six seven or six eight. They are to this point,
they are likely playing professional basketball or I just don't
see a lot of six ten guys around. You are
(41:51):
limiting yourself. I think she likes the.
Speaker 4 (41:53):
Athlete, yes, No, I think also this is a specific
person she's talking about.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
Agree, of course she has somebody she's dating. They I
think she's tied to Jalen Carter. Is that right, the
NBA player of the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
No, I think a different Oh did you say double
Did you say an NBA player NBA and I just
missed that.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
Yes, I did, the NBA player Jalen Carter for Oh,
maybe that's not his name.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
He's not, is it? Oh from maybe that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
Yes, Jayleen Duran is the guy. Yes that I think
she's tied to who is six ten?
Speaker 3 (42:33):
So maybe that's Sam.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
Can you hit your talk back just for a second.
The it's stuck in my ear out there there we go. Yeah,
that's that's that's perfect. It is weird to see a
woman towering over a man.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
It is it really is.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
I'm five to ten now, I'm happily married. I say
it to say I am not Angel Reese's type.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Yeah, you can't be four inches shorter. Correct and make
it and make it work.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
What I will say though, is Angel Reese is also
at the age that you'd be surprised on like who
you're actually attracted to or that you I don't know,
just all of a sudden I have a thing for
like there's there's you know, you could go back to
the dating, you know, days, and you're doing whatever and
(43:26):
you're having fun your twenties and like, oh they look good,
they look good. There's there's some validity, but there's also
the person that you're just like, why do I have
a thing for that person? Why? Why? When nobody else
they're not like on the market or anything. Something just connects.
Angel Race is going to figure that out at some point,
and that person may only be six to one, so
(43:47):
she's going to have to change on how she thinks
about this stuff because that stuff just naturally happens. This
is such a twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty
four year old conversation where you're putting down things that
you need to have in your man or your person
or however it is. When she gets older, she'll look
back at this and be like, Okay, it's pretty ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (44:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
And also, I don't think it's like Angel Reese.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
Nobody's asking you or telling you that you're gonna fall
in love with a guy who's five to seven. But
there's a very real possibility that you do end up
liking a guy.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
Who is your height. And it's okay if you get
a little bit tall.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
I feel like there's it's okay because she's already so tall.
We already know that it's hard for you to find
somebody who's taller. So if she were to date somebody
hurt height or a little bit shorter, I don't think
we would even blink twice about it.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
She's already so.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
Tall, Like, I really don't think we would even blink
twice if she takes a picture with a guy who's
a couple inches shorter because she's in heels.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
But that's what she's worried about. She's worried about what
it looks.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Like now the heels portion of it is gosh, then
you're even I mean, then it's even smaller of the pool.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
It is even smaller. I know, I know. Trust me
as a shortie, I love that I.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Could literally wear I'm saying, how tall you are?
Speaker 3 (45:01):
I think I'm five feet on a good day.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
Okay, I'm wearing.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
My platform coppers today, so I'm five.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Anybody who's four eights is.
Speaker 3 (45:09):
Just not I can't work with it.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's I listen, I understand the
trickiness of her situation, and I understand you don't want
to date it a short, short guy, but it can't
be like the six to seven guy is your dream,
that's the twenty one and twenty two year old. It
is weird when the girl's taller than the guy. Sorry,
(45:33):
it just is. I know I seen it before, Like
it's not completely out of the rebel possibility and of it.
She's one inch taller. That's totally that it's negligible.
Speaker 4 (45:42):
Yes, yes, yeah, because usually it'scept that they're the same
high and then they put on a heel and then
they're taller.
Speaker 3 (45:47):
What were you going to say?
Speaker 11 (45:48):
I have some questions. Is she going to be showing
up on a first day, like in the lobby of
the nice restaurant with one of those height measuring devices
that they use at the scouting combines. Is it gonna
be like one of those signs at the amusement parks
that say you need to be at least this tall
to ride on this attraction. And also, by throwing it out,
(46:10):
there is there somewhere a six four six ' five
guy who hears this and is going to one day
go on a date with her, and they're gonna come
wearing lifts in their shoes. Performance enhancing substances.
Speaker 9 (46:25):
Timberlands like George Constanza her.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Face to take them off good good reference. Absolutely, yeah,
why not, Well, that's she's setting out the back of
the bat signal she is.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
Because it's also on the other side of it.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
Are there any NBA players that heard this that are
like six two sixty three and they're may be like, wow,
I guess I won't even call her. I won't even try.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
They're still in the game there, they could do it, Yeah,
could do it. Yeah, that's this is her ideal world.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
It is it is we.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
Everybody does that at this point. Injury Injurious is twenty two,
it's probably.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
Yeah, yeah, you can have whatever she wants.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
Yes, yes, the world, yeah, twenty two world is her.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
Oyster literally literally.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
But in five years you'll look back and while I
understand that you will not probably fall in love with
someone six inches shorter than you, you're going to realize
and just the the absurdity to be like, well, I'm
only going to date six seven, I'm only gonna date blondes,
you know, like like yeah, yeah, that sounds absurd, It's
it's ridiculous.
Speaker 10 (47:33):
I totally agree with your take on those, Dan, But
my question I guess for the rest of the crew
here or for our listeners, is it uh no longer
politically correct to say that it looks weird when the
dude is shorter than the woman in the relationship. Because
I've always thought that way and I could never when
I was single be with a taller woman. That's a
(47:53):
strange thing for me. But I think I thought that
I was dismissed at some point for being old fashioned?
Is it politically correct hold that opinion?
Speaker 2 (48:01):
Still?
Speaker 4 (48:02):
I don't think there's anything wrong with holding that opinion,
not at all now. I think that's it's just it
looks different and we're just not used to it, you know,
like if we maybe saw it more often, then we
wouldn't think it's that weird. Iowa Sam, raising his hand
like we're in class.
Speaker 9 (48:17):
I'm just very eager to get this comment out. I
think for some men it's like a power move to
have a woman that's like taller than you. I think
it's like, oh, like like if I I have a
I have a girlfriend. But if I was single and
Cameron Brink wants to go on a date with this
and I show up to like a red carpet event
in like a nice suit and she's like towering, like
(48:39):
six seven inches over me. I'm five ten. I don't
even know how tall she is. She's very tall. I'd
be like, hey, I'm the man up in this piece,
you know. That's what i'd say. On her podcast.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
She has her own podcast on the Brink, and she said,
she goes, I'm only attracted to five to ten guys
from all the Yeah, this news to me. Yes, good
news for bad news for your current girlfriend. By the way,
I'm sure it's loving this conversa.
Speaker 11 (49:06):
It's going to be deleted from the podcast.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
I don't know if Sam I thought at first it
was a humble break, like I've got a girlfriend right now,
but then he was like, I totally date Cameron Brink.
I was like, Okay, maybe it's not the humble.
Speaker 9 (49:19):
I'll just say this, if some men can get over
the height, if they're shorter than a woman, if they're
fine with it, I think it's kind of a power move.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
I think it's it's great. I don't think the guy's
the problem, right right. I think it's the girl being
like I don't want to date shorty, and then everybody
else looking at it being like, yeah, that's weird, I
think though, But Jason says he.
Speaker 3 (49:38):
Doesn't think he could date a taller woman.
Speaker 10 (49:40):
No, I really can't. But I think that that was
that was like labeled as old fashion, and but I
just I do hold those But I do like the
image that you brought up earlier of someone shorter than
MANCEI like, well, I think we met her significant other
at Convenio on richest Christmas thing one year. Yeah, and
if she would have shown up with a four foot
(50:00):
nine guy, it would have been very amusing.
Speaker 4 (50:03):
Right, that would have been impressive that I found a
gentleman that size.
Speaker 3 (50:09):
Actually, that would have been impressive.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
But I remember it was awesome. You carried him in
to the party. That was that was really cool. And
I'm in a backpack. I'd be like, why are you
dating Kyler Murray? Ah, he's Jason Stewart. That's Moonsey milanios

Caitlin Clark is prepping for the WNBA playoffs. Did you
(50:56):
see the schedule? Yes, Sunday, full slate of WNBA playoff games.
The Fever will face the Connecticut Sun at three o'clock
Eastern time, smack dab in the middle of an NFL Sunday.
Speaker 3 (51:08):
I guess I will have that on one of my screens.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Yes, you will, I will probably have I will.
Speaker 3 (51:14):
No, I want to yes. I don't know which which
game is gonna get bummed off.
Speaker 2 (51:18):
But I do think that the WNB I understood because
Games two and if necessary, Game three are on Wednesday
and Friday. Smart they could have done a Tuesday and Thursday,
but then you'd be going up against Thursday Night Football,
which I believe is Giants Cowboys next week. So that
would have been the New York market Cowboys fans. Good
to avoid that, but it would be a Wednesday Friday.
(51:40):
If it ends up going.
Speaker 4 (51:41):
It's nice to see the we games do something right.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
All right, everybody, Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, It's Friday. I
went to a Jets game fourteen years ago and the
person I wanted to see was Fireman Ed. I have like,
(00:40):
this was before video cameras were on phone, so I
brought my own digital camera. I had like six videos
of Fireman Ed from my seat, just of him leading
the charges of the New York Jets.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
How clear was the image?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
I want to know more about this camera. Did it
have the little flip screen?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
No, it was just a pocket one. Yeah, that's all
it was. But I constantly just kept on like any
time I thought he would do is I And by
the way, I was so many sections, yeah, so far away.
Then when I would zoom in, like it would just
be blurry pixels.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
That's all it was, right, But you were there, you
know you were there, and we are here in LA
broadcasting live from the tierrac dot com studios. Tyrac dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection. That's

Speaker 2 (01:37):
And nothing has changed, Bonci, because the expectations for a
New York Jets quarterback in twenty ten were the same
as they are in twenty twenty four. Actually think it
was twenty eleven when I went, but still the point
being is the expectations and I at first have my
arm high, it's going lower and lower and lower and lower.
(01:59):
And No, last night's game on Amazon to start Week
three wasn't one of those headline grabbers. We're still talking
about Otani, which we will in twenty minutes or so,
but there actually is a bigger reason why last night
was a big deal. And the bigger reason is this.
You gotta give the New York Jets fans some grace.
(02:20):
Last night was a big, big night for them. And
the reason it's a big, big night is because this
franchise has been riddled with poor quarterback play for I
would say almost fifty years. But there are people who
are like Joe Navi's not a Hall of famer. He
used to throw no more interceptions than he has touchdowns.
How the heck is he a Hall of famer? So
(02:41):
you can even go plus fifty years when talking about
the New York Jets and last night when they see
Aaron Rodgers throwing the football around the yard like he
did almost three hundred yards, almost a magnificent perfect night,
aside from one instance on the sideline and about sixteen
yards short of a three hundred yard game. It was
(03:04):
a script that New York Jets fans have been craving for,
not for the season, not since Rogers went down with
his achilles tendon, but basically forever. That's why last night
was a big deal.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
But you know, I don't necessarily agree that the bar
is low.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Are you saying that the bar is low.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
For Jets fans? Because for football fans, I wouldn't say that.
I feel the way that Aaron Rodgers is looked at, scrutinize,
criticized left and right. And also let's talk about let's
not forget to mention last year going down what for
snaps in and I feel like there was actually a
lot of pressure going into this season, and so I
(03:43):
don't know if I necessararily agree with you unless you're.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Talking about Jets fans.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
For Jets fans, the bar is low just because of
how terrible their history has been with quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Do you think Jets fans were excited last night?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I don't know many Jets fans, but I'm gonna say yes,
I think they were as well.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, right, Ian.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Roddy, as a producer and editor here at Fox Sports Radio, Yes,
Ian was excited.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Sure, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Jason Smith, Jason Smith was exciting most of the Jason
Smith Show with Mike Harmon week knights on Fox Sports Radio.
He was excited. The Jets fans that I saw on
Twitter last night were excited or on X excuse me,
it's Twitter. But to you and me as as non
Jets fans, it was a twenty four to three blowout
(04:29):
game that never was really close.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But it's everything within that game that is the reason
why it's a bigger deal. It's Rogers not tearing his
achilles on the fourth play from scrimmage in front of
the home fans last night. It's not having your best
seasons in the last fifteen years, be Mark Sanchez handing
the football off to Sean Green. It's not that any
Testaverdi was like fifty two years old when he was
(04:55):
leading the Jets in the mid nineties. I may be exaggerating,
but that's what it was at that time. And no
disrespect of any Testaverdi, who completely turned his career around
and is one heck of an NFL quarterback. But this
is Aaron Rodgers. And even though Aaron Rodgers is forty,
last night he looked anything butt forty. And this is
(05:15):
why it's a bigger deal is because it's not just
twenty four to three, And why did Gerrod Mayo put
Drake may in at the end of the game. That's
trying to find something that happened last night. Everything that
happened last night is reading between the lines. And we'll
read between the lines of what happened with Robert solid
Aaron Rodgers, because that's a big part of this. But
when you think of the Jets, you're right. I picked
(05:36):
the Jets to win the division, so a win last
night shouldn't have any effect on that. But this team
has never really had hope. They've had good teams They've
hoped to beat Tom Brady, They've hoped to have that upset,
but they've never had it at the most important position,
where now they actually have someone there that can win
(05:57):
a game on their own or make it look effort
list like Aaron Rodgers did last night. You know, I'm
not a huge Rogers fan, but I do appreciate his craft.
There are people who call him the greatest of all
time because of how he's played the position. Even Drake
May got into some heat last night because he said
I'm waiting for the goat. Then Mike Garafalo had to
clear up his tweet and why Drake May was saying
(06:19):
goat and the whole deal. Whatever the case is, this
franchise has been miserable for so long, and finally, in
a shining light, they have their quarterbacks. And it may
only be a year, may only be two years, who
knows what it is. But that's why last night was
a big deal for New York Jets fans. That's why
just winning a regular season game in September over the
(06:40):
Patriots your arrival. For the last twenty years, I mean,
hacking have been since twenty fifteen, since I think the
stat was since they had beaten the Patriots at home.
I believe that the stat was But so you have
all of that come down to last night, Jets overmanned
the Patriots. That's how we see it. Completely different story
with the Jets.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Fans, sure it might be and beyond.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
To me, as a non Jets fan, I looked at
that game and I was just like, Okay, here's the
Jets defense that I was expecting to see weeks one
and two, because that was one of the big things
with why I thought the Jets would be successful. I
don't know if I had them winning the division, but
I did pick them to go into the playoffs because
I thought their defense kept them afloat last year with
(07:25):
Zach Wilson. Aaron Rodgers has to be the difference maker
to get them those three more wins to get into
the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
So I hear everything you're saying.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
You're right a big deal because Aaron Rodgers did look
very comfortable out there. But to me, the defense showing
up was actually also a really big deal.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I think the Patriots played a role in that they're
extremely limited, but it's a defense that lost Remaine Johnson
last week, didn't have CJ. Moseley last night, and obviously
we know about his sond Reddick. All of that is
not good for the Jets. But guess what, all of
that did not matter because they have their quarterback. It
would have mattered if if it was Zach Wilson. It
would have mattered. If it was Mark Sanchez, it would
have mattered. If it was Ken O'Brien, it would have mattered,
(08:05):
if it was Richard Todd, it would have mattered, if
it was Joe Namath. Think you can go on bumrisias
and keep on naming Jet Chad Penning the whole deal, Like,
let's just keep on going naming Jet's quarterbacks. Those things
wouldn't have mattered last night. It didn't matter. What also
mattered was Aaron Rodgers giving a death stare to his
head coach, which is another between the lines headline from
last night that we just can't seem to get away.
(08:26):
So as much as I want to praise Aaron Rodgers,
we now have the death stare scene for Miles Away,
I'm just.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Like, why, Aaron, Why.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
You already know what people think of you, so why
give them more, ammo? Because there's nothing you could say
after that incident that the camera caught and I was like, man,
did you see that?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I rewinded it and I was like, let's look at
it again. Me and my friend.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I was like, I should you tape it on a
VCR videotape? Is that? No?
Speaker 6 (08:54):
No? No?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Luckily I can rewind. So I did rewind and we
watched it again. I was like, look at him, thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I was like, look at him. He like stops him
hard and gives him a gives him a.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Look like I don't like you, get off of me.
And obviously that's not what they sent after. But I
just was like, Aaron, this is week three. You can't pretend.
For a hot second, you can't pretend.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Aaron Rodgers gave an explanation on why he gave Robert
Sala death stare during last day. So is after the
second touchdown? Correct? Was that after the second touchdown to
go up thirteen to three with the extra point coming up?
This is Aaron Rodgers' explanation.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
He's not a big hugger usually, so I don't know
he was going for the hug. He likes to do
the two hand chest push as well, but he talks
a lot about two score leads. So I just kind
of gave him a push and said, two score lead.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
That's what happened. They were okay, it was fourteen, it
was fourteen to nothing, that fourteen to three. They went
up fourteen to nothing at that point, and the two
score lead. I don't know necessarily what he is talking
about at that point. Yeah, I don't know if you
should not get excited from a two score lead, But
at that point Aaron Rodgers, who I don't think realized
(10:10):
he was being recorded.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
But okay, come on, man, you have to assume Aaron
Rodgers has to assume the camera is on him twenty
four to seven.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I don't think he did, because that's why I think
he stared him down. I think that is that's the
underlying portion of this. Plus Sala just seems like such
an alpha male. Yeah, and to see Rogers almost put
him in his place with that stare resonated so much more.
Of course, I mean, if to have Sala be so excited,
(10:43):
which says one thing considering all that he has been through,
and then it shows how many eggs of his are
in Aaron Rodgers' basket, and Aaron Rodgers still won't let
him have that moment. There wasn't even a smirk from
Aaron Rodgers after that. I compared it to the Kobe
Bryant were up to. Job is not done. Is that
what Aaron Rodgers wanted to say? Or was that his
(11:04):
point or did he want to send a message to
Robert Sala saying like, look, man, this is still my show.
I'm running it. You need to chill out. We haven't
done anything. Get out of my face. That's the sense
that I got from that.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Look and the way you just said all that was
better than how he handled it. Just the way it
was executed on his end, it looked so terrible. Whether
it is him saying, this is still my team, you
need to chill out, whether it's him saying, don't get excited.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
We haven't won yet. There's still plenty of game to go.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Whatever the intention was, all it did though, was shine
a light on the type of guy that Aaron Rodgers
comes off to the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Because I don't know him.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Personally, I can just make assumptions based on what he says,
how he acts, and all of that. Just like added
to that where I'm like, bro, like you do not
seem like a fun guy to have a cocktail with.
Let me tell you that you do not seem like
somebody that I want to be friends with. And I
don't want my quarterback and my coach to have that
type of relationship that looked toxic.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
There's nothing worse than not knowing your boundary, right, Yeah,
Like there's something, there's something, yes that where like Sala
thought you were good and then you weren't. It's like
giving do you give someone a hug in a social
setting and then they extend a handshake and then you're like, Okay,
(12:26):
what do I do? That's awkward enough When you know
each other and are on the same team and you
can't even get it correct, that's a bigger problem.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
It almost like would have been better if he just
would have walked away from him.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, but he.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Like stopped him hard, like like you said, exerted his
like elphinis over Sala's elphinus.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
This is Robert Sala explaining his side of the botch hug.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Part of the things that we've been talking about is
to just get the defense a too scorely and two
score leads. So I guess you just wanted to see
something on defense. It just reminded me that he got
a two score lead.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I mean, it's interesting that they both mentioned something about
a two score lead. So I'm like, all right, which
PR person handled this on the sideline? Was like, listen,
you're both gonna say something about this when they ask
you about it, because you are literally on everyone's TV screen.
Everyone has positive and they're talking about this moment. That
was a total PR move.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Did your family ever take take a vacation and go
to a hotel with a pool, like a swimming pool?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Not that really I can remember. We didn't take a
lot of vcages.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Okay, Like I'm not talking about Disney, and I'm just like, yeah,
out of town, you go to a hotel it has
a pool, and as a kid, you loved it. That
was one of my things of going to a hotel
with a pool. There weren't a lot of hotels with
pools where I grew up. Iowa, Sam, you're with me
on that. Absolutely big deal. Parents say hey, you can
(14:00):
swim tomorrow. My mom says, guess what, you can go
swimming at the hotel pool tomorrow. Well, the pool opens
at six am, so at five point fifty nine you're
ready to go, not necessarily what your mom or your
parents were talking about when they said you could swim tomorrow.
To score lead in the fourth quarter, completely different story
(14:22):
than to score lead midway through the second quarter of
your first home game of the year. So there's that
aspect of it as well. So if Sala is preaching, hey,
to score lead, to score lead, and Rogers comes off
the field in the second quarter giving him a two
score lead, the job isn't done yet. That's where I
think Rogers is saying, like there's a miscommunication on what
(14:45):
to score lead is, Just like there's a miscommunication on well,
I thought we were going swimming today. The pool opens
at six am. Yet you'll go swimming at five pm
a little bit later on. We are not going right now.
That's the disconnect that I feel that Rogers and Sala
had of all right, two score lead. Rogers like, well,
big deal, two score lead in the second quarter. Heck
(15:06):
those evaporate all the time. Two scored lead in the
fourth quarter is a bigger deal because it makes the
other team one dimensional. That's how I'm trying to solve this,
That's how I'm trying to think of They're not even
on the same page. When they're trying to send a
message about what a two score lead is. This is
just Rogers being a jerk, like even in a great moment.
That's probably the biggest takeaway. As they praised Rogers at
the start, the real takeaway is that Rogers just had
(15:28):
an opportunity where he felt like he could be a
jerk and he took advantage.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Of it full fully took advantage of it.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
And here's the thing is that I think I don't
believe that that's really why he handled Sola like that
because he didn't think the job was done. It looked
like he just genuinely doesn't like the guy. And that's
what he said in the moment because he just, you know,
didn't want to say something worse than what he did.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
But I really feel like it was more than that.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
That was just what came out of his mouth in
the moment as to why he stopped the coach whip?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Am I crazy to think that the rest of the
team would have gotten a weird message if they would
have had a hug?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Good?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
What do you mean that the team would have thought
it was weird if they hugged?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah? Like, does Aaron Rodgers send the message to the Jets.
I hugged Robert Sala on the second quarter, so we've
accomplished a lot. I keep going back to the Kobe
two zero thing because I do think that that's Aaron Rodgers'
scapegoat and all of this job's not finished. Job is
not done. If you're the New York Jets who have
(16:32):
laid out the misery of that franchise earlier, are you
really going to take a victory lap up fourteen to
nothing on the Patriots in the second quarter of Week three?
Doesn't that send a bad message to the rest of
the team. If Rogers is getting to that point again,
I can understand it a heck of a lot more,
but I'm trying to give him as many outs as
(16:54):
I can.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
No, I hear what you're saying, and you're right, there
may be a little bit to that.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You're probably right.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
It still wasn't handled properly. Even if that is the
underlying feeling. You still came off like a total jerk.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So what should he have done? Hugged him? No, give
him the smirk at the end album.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Maybe a smirk. It's just the way he stopped him.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Come on, the double fist because he didn't just put
his hand like softly on him and been like, yo,
we're not done, because that's all you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Like that, Really you.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Could have done all of that, but your hand open,
not both fists stopping him. And it looked like Sola
even pushed like there was you know, pressure from both sides.
All of that just looked like there was tension. So
easily he could have stopped him and said, job's not done,
done a wink. He loves to wink. We've seen him
do it done, a little whatever smirk, and then ran
(17:44):
onto the field.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, I don't think he knew that the camera was on.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
How does That's one another thing I can't get on.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I can't get with.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
You on that one because I don't I think that
he wanted Robert Sala to know that I'm not playing
this game like it's a mind game with everyone. I
don't think he wanted everybody else to know about it. Yeah,
do you guys think he was recorded? Sam Jason, do
you think that he knew that he was on camera?
Speaker 9 (18:08):
You should expect to You should expect to be surveiled
at all times, whether you're in a stadium, you're on TV,
you're playing, you're walking down the street. Their cameras everywhere,
so somebody probably got the reaction.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Just assume because it wasn't it was a camera from
the sideline that caught him do that. So it wasn't
like it was a game camera or something like that
that would be able to see. I understand that there
are cameras everywhere. I just I think that his message
was to tell Robert Sola to put him in his place,
that this is my team, this is my deal.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
Right after a touchdown though, too, So it's like they
always get those.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Reactions, right, like, how do you not anticipate one camera
on you pretty much the entire game, especially after a touchdown.
We did have somebody respond to us. Assad Lyndon is
the name, and says, Aaron Rodgers owns Robert sala.
Speaker 9 (19:01):
Can I just can I just say something. I think
Robert sala is really I'm I'm sorry. I think Robert
Sawa is really desperate to win and he wants to
get them. He knows he's a few years behind with
the Jets just because of you know, injuries and last
year and just just a whole bunch of things, just
getting having the team stall out. I think he's a
good coach, and he's like, we should be a winning franchise,
(19:23):
we should be a winning organization. And Rogers is just like,
I've won a super Bowl, I've won four MVPs, I've
gotten the playoffs like almost every year I've been a quarterback.
Give me just give it more time, don't get too ahead.
A few weeks from now, let's say week nine, week ten,
and they have a great record. All of this stuff,
this awkwardness is gonna be like a castle in the sand.
It's going to wash it away by the tide.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
So you agree with the Kobe up to oh, like,
Kobe not satisfied, You agree right, Like Rogers is like,
we're not there yet. We're only two and one now.
So I'm trying to give Rogers the benefit of that.
I like that. I think to the point of him
giving a smirk to Sala could have helped the situations, didn't. Yeah, yes, yeah,
But in trying to give him the benefit of the doubt,
(20:03):
I think that's what Rogers would say he was doing.
And also in reality.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
It is just a jerk, right. And to add to
what Sam is saying.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
It's like I I think it was a nice moment.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
That Robert Sala felt happy right there, Like it's been such.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
A rough time for Robert Sala too. He's been having
to defend the Jets for so long, and so I
it's like you he was. He seemed genuinely excited in
that moment, and then Aaron Rodgers was like.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Nope, yeah, it hasn't been a picnic for him either. Yeah,
like you know, so he's got more to lose as well.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
It just doesn't make Aaron Rodgers look good in any way,
shape or form, even if it's the Mamba mentality and
where job's not done, I don't care.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
This is the best of the Done Dot Leaf Show
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
You always have plans when you're a parent, and sometimes
those plans don't work out. I'm going to tell you
what that plan was that did not work out ten
minutes or so. It's also when Isaac Longcrown is going
to give us the latest of what is happening on
this Friday. She's Monty Blaios, I'm Dan Bayer. We are
in for Doug Gottlieb on The Doug Gottlieb Show Live
from the Tiraq dot Com Studios. What better way to
(21:13):
get prepped for the upcoming weekend of college and pro
ball than with our good buddy, our Fox Sports Radio
betting analyst who's the co host of Fox Sports Radios
Countdown to Kickoff with Rich Ornberger and Brian Know. It
airs each Saturday between nine and New Eastern Time, and
you can listen live on any of our Fox Sports

(21:37):
The One the only Jared Smith joins the program.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Hello, Jared, dan Monts, it's great to be with you.
That was a very nice, warm welcome.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Well we are. We love having you on because we
not only love your advice, Jared, but it is a
conversation that Jared Smith is one of those few guys
who can take something that may be so confusing to
someone and simplify it down. So that's why we love
having you on. Jared, Gus, that's a compliment that you
(22:07):
take a confusing betting world and make it easier for
people to understand. So you should take that as a
compliment because it's not easy to do.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
We actually said that during our preview.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I wasn't a yeah, it was not a fake compliment.
It was not a fake compliment. Why am I having
a tough time believing Nebraska is going to cover the
eight and a half tonight? There's something about the aligne
I that I don't know. I just can't get away from.
How do you think it plays out tonight?
Speaker 6 (22:35):
Yeah, this is an interesting game. You know, you get
both teams ranked for the first time since eighty five,
you know, so you kind of get a throwback vibe.
Nebraska's three and oh for the first time and basically
a decade Illinois it's been kind of two decades. I
think the Nebraska offense will have an edge in this game.
Their top twenty and rushing dal Dell, the Oregon transfer,
(22:55):
has been great, nearly six yards per carry. And listen,
Zreela kid, this freshman, this Mahomes look alike. He's been
very clean, just one interception.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
The key is he hasn't been in a lot of
high leverage spots.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
It's impressive that he's a freshman and he's top twenty
five nationally in QBR. But you know, Utap Colorado, Northern Iowa.
This is a step up in class tonight against Illinois.
It's not the Illinois defense we've known from years past,
which has been unbelievable against the run.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
They're actually better against the pass.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
They've got two studs in the secondary, both last named Scott,
Miles Scott Xavier Scott combined for five of the six
team I and TS. So for Nebraska, can you establish
the run? Can you get Daldell going? Can you keep
Rayola comfortable? He's at home, which certainly helps. But this
Illinois offense has been impressive. Alt Meyer's been I would say,
way better than expected, especially when he's been kept clean.
(23:49):
The RPO game has been really crisp. The Nebraska defense
is unique. Tony White, the defensive coordinator, kind of likes
to mix things up. They they hail Travis Hunter in
check to one of his worst games of the year.
So I think that's a positive because Illinois has a
couple of explosive receivers Franklin and Bryant that are averaging
nearly three yards per rout run. So kind of that's
the chess match there is. Can Tony White mix up
(24:11):
the looks and keep Altmeyer kind of uncomfortable because the
RPO game, again has been very effective for Illinois's offense.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
This year, Jared, how's Jack Pott?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Oh, he's great.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
I'm actually about to take him to daycare because I'm
about to go out for the afternoon. So he has
usually a Friday afternoon session with his friends. He has
a group of friends that he plays with the daycare
every week.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I love that so much. But let's talk sports here.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
I'm looking at the USC Michigan game and I see
that USC is favored by four and a half. I
find that a little bit low, given that Michigan seems
to have questions when it comes to their quarterback.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Yeah, I think Alex Orgi is about as one dimensional
as it gets, severely limited as a passer. I think
you're going to see a lot of the RPO game
this week, and that's scary because the r has been bad.
Mullins emerged last, but it was against Arkansas State. They
need Donovan Edwards to be a rock star. He still
has not seen. I don't know what it is you
(25:07):
would expect with that offensive line he would progress throughout
his career. It looks like he's gotten worse just four
point two yards per carry this season, and they don't
have a lot of skillet wide receiver and their best
receiving weapon their tight end, Colston Loveland, who has nineteen.
The team only has fifty one catches all year, nineteen
of them are the Loveland He's not.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Going to play.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
So how much can you go twelve personnel with two
tight ends when your starters out? How much can you
play from a negative game script against a USC defense?
Speaker 5 (25:34):
This might sound crazy. I know you guys in La
might not.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
You know, this is wild USC defense what they're doing
this year, and a lot of coaching switches is what
I've analyzed so far. You've got the new DC Anton Lynn,
you got the assistant DC matt.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Ens from North Dakota State. It's done a good job.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
And then the d line coach Henderson came over from
the rams of coach Daron Donald. So just a lot
of brain trust improved on that USC sidelines. Defensively, off
the buy, you would expect Miller Moss to have a
good game plan. We know Michigan's gonna blitz wink. Martindale
has one speed and it's blitz. It's like that's all
he knows how to do. That's why it's not in
(26:11):
the NFL anymore. Uh sixty percent blitz rate against Fresno,
fifty percent against ark State, forty five percent against Texas.
So Miller Moss knows the blitz is coming. The release
time has been quick, the adjusted accuracy is strong. Can
he get the ball out efficiently? If he can, I'm
with you, Moncie. I think USC's defense is ready to
stop the run, and I think this offense might be
(26:31):
ready to explode.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I got one more in the college game before we
shift to the NFL. Jared Smith joining us here on
Fox Sports Radio, co host of Fox Sports Radios Countdown
to kickoff. What about the other LA team, UCLA goes
on the road at LSU. I think the Bruins are
involved in one of your better bets this weekend.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yeah, I get so.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
It's kind of funny because the way the markets worked
in in college football, it's like Friday.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
When the limits open up.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
It's like a title wave, and you just don't know
what's going to be the wave of bets.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
I gave this out this morning.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
LSU was laying twenty two and a half points, and
I thought twenty four was fair here because it was
twenty five earlier in the week. And then all of
a sudden, a wave of money on UCLA came in.
I don't know if maybe someone there's news broke injury Brook.
I don't know, maybe it was just, you know, some
really smart people knew something. But now you can get
this at twenty one. I still think LSU absolute blows
him out. Everything I've heard from UCLA this week. The
(27:25):
practice has been a disaster. They had to start practice
over on Tuesday. I thought, they go to Hawaii, they
struggle in the first half. That's a tough way to
start the season. You go to all the way to
Hawaii with a new head coach, new scheme, and you
struggle in the first half, and then you close the
door in the second half.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
You win the game.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Then you get a bye week, and then you get
Indiana's defense coming in, and I thought that was an opportunity.
Indiana hasn't played anybody for UCLA's offense to kind of
get going. And the first play of the game was
like a fumble off, like a you know, a box
snap on an RPO. And I'm just thinking to myself,
you Sila, like, what are you doing? That's your first
snap off the buy And now you have to go
to LSU this week.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Now we'll see what they have left in the tank.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
They got pushed around by South Carolina last week seven
yards per carry. The South Carolina quarterback is an absolute
rock star. Sellers keep a very close eye on him.
And then they've got Rockett Sanders too, who's really good.
Just a big step down in class for LSU's defense
facing a UCLA with Garbers and Harden who really had
one good year as a freshman campaign but hasn't really
(28:25):
shown much since. And I really liked what I saw
in the LSU ground game. Kayden Durham, this freshman, this
four star kid out of Texas, looks really good. So
I still think LSU blows them out. I think UCLA's
in for a really long season, and I don't care
what the market did today, I'm still going to back
the Tigers on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Well, let's move on to the NFL.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Here, we got the Chargers on the Steelers questionable if
Justin Herbert is going to play, but even with him playing,
the total for points was.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Thirty four and a half, and I feel like that
game is.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Going to be low scoring on both sides, high defense
on both sides. Now, maybe there's not even a Justin
Herbert So is that an easy bet?
Speaker 6 (29:03):
Jared, Yeah, I'm worried because I put the Chargers in
a teaser this week and I thought for sure that
Herbert was gonna play, and then the news today.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
So the way I analyze the injury report in the.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
NFL, if a guy just pops up on Friday, like
Brian Burns with the Giants today, that's a bad omen
for Sunday. If he's not on the injury report by
Wednesday and he just like appears, like, you know, randomly,
like a ghost, I think that is a bat. That's
that's trending down. So I don't know if justin Herbert's
gonna have no idea, but that is not a good sign.
(29:38):
That's a red flag.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Right. The total is the totals in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Like you go to the college ranks and they're in
the sixties seventies, and you see some of these totals
in the NFL, And this.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Is the way that Jim Harbour wants to play football.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
He wants to run the ball and he wants to
play defense, and his team is really bought into that strategy.
I know it's Carolina and I know it's Vegas, but
thirteen points in two games allowed by this Chargers defense.
I mean both games have stayed way under and just
Steelers are two and zero on the road, just like.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
We all expected. Justin Fields, top fifteen offense, just like.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
We all expected for the Steelers, the defense has been
really good, top five across the board in efficiency. Another
week of justin Fields, maybe we get Herbert.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
I think this total probably keeps going lower.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Jared Smith joining us here on Fox Sports Radio last ones.
For me, as we look at a crazy week in
the National Football League, and I say it's crazy because
we have the double header on Monday night, the last
game of the night, Commanders Bengals Cincinnati zero and two.
This year, we saw their close affair that they had
against the Kansas City Chiefs. Commanders get in the win
(30:49):
column last week with a win over the Giants where
they don't score a touchdown, the kick seven field goes
to get the wins. Same yeah, how do you How
do you like that last game of the week that
we've gotten Week three?
Speaker 6 (30:59):
I think the the seven and a half dangling out
there is gonna be very enticing for the professionals here
in town on Monday. The one thing you need to
always keep in mind the public in these games has
their say. What I mean by that is by the
time we get to Monday night, especially let's say the
Chiefs lose on Sunday Night, because you know they're gonna
(31:19):
be in a lot of moneyline parlays Sunday night football
mahomes and then you get this Monday double header with
two favorites at home. It's gonna be all Buffalo and
Cincinnati money. And if you like Washington in the game,
you think, if you think their game, and you think
Cincinnati maybe coming off the game last week against the Chiefs,
you know, might be a little bit tired, and you
(31:40):
know Washington's looked okay, this number is gonna go to
eight or nine, probably on Monday Night because the public
likes to back the favorites and they like to back
the over. So if you like Cincinnati, bet it now.
Especially if the t Higgins news becomes confirmed then he plays.
This probably gets to eight or nine. So that's kind
of how I view these games.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I think.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
I mean, this is like a super Bowl for Cincinnati.
You can't start owing three. Over the last five years,
forty one teams have started oh and two just two.
The Bengals in twenty two, and then the Texans last
year started ohing to on the division had made the playoffs.
So you can't start owing three like this is a
must win for the Bengals. So use him in a
teaser if you want to bet him. I bet him
now because probably by the time we get the Monday,
this thing will be a little bit higher.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
All right. He's Jared Smith here on Saturday mornings talking
college ball with Brian Noah and Rich Ornberger on Fox
Sports Radios. Countdown to Kickoff Again, airing each Saturday between

Speaker 5 (32:36):
Good luck this weekend everyone.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
She's Manti Bolano, So I'm Dan Bier. Let's head to
the news desk Isaac Lower and Crown giving us the
latest to what's going on on this Friday late. Yes,
should include Big ten field hockey that we've got on
the screen right now with Sam's Iowa Hawkeyes.
Speaker 11 (32:50):
Oly sure that that is live or is that replayed?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
It says live?
Speaker 11 (32:56):
OK?
Speaker 9 (32:57):
Listen, guys, I put Big ten network on it here
because this is a Big ten country now, so it's
like we have to be doing our jobs. I suppose
monitoring Iowa versus Northwestern field hockey, just saying.
Speaker 11 (33:09):
Does that exchange extend to other Iowa sports?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yes, okay, if this was if this was Illinois Nebraska
field hockey, would we be watching right now?
Speaker 9 (33:21):
I put this on like an hour or two ago,
and it went right into this field hockey match, which
Iowa and Northwestern some of the better field hockey team
is the Big ten. But I just need we need
to stay on our beat here. This is Big ten country,
always has been, always will be Los Angeles.
Speaker 11 (33:35):
Well, with that in mind, with fifteen forty eight left
to play in the second and frankly America, I don't
know if it's the second period or the second. Number
one Northwestern leading fourth ranked Iowa one to nothing on
a goal by Ella cokeinnis the assist by how about
how about this for a name Ilsea Trump so Ilsea
(33:57):
Trump t r M trying to help Northwestern Trump over
Iowa to Northwestern great again because of spelling is with
an US yes, beating same village. Iowa goalkeeper Mia Magnata.
I love some of these names in goal for Northwestern
(34:20):
pitching a shutout so far?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Is there a Sarah Vance on Northwestern so we could
have a Trump Vance tickets? Is there a way possibly?
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Fox Sports Radio had the best sports talk lineup in
the nation.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
Catch all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot
com and within the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
We have a first year on Fox Sports Radio. My
mom has actually agreed with my take. Yes, there have
been times where I will talk with mom after the show.
I don't agree with your take on Aaron Rodgers. I
don't think that's the reason she agrees. Fall colors. The
changing of the colors is what is the best about
the fall.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I mean, I get it, and I feel like that's
because where you're from, isn't there a real fall and
like real colors, real deal, real.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Real real weather, like you guys.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Actually go through the season, correct, right, So that's what
it is, because like you know, here, we don't really
have that.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
No, it's honestly, it's like early December and like a
tree starts to change its leaves and you're like, what, Yeah,
it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
For like us for like a day, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Okay, that's fine. A couple more days like it'll and
then it'll then the leaves are just gone. But it's
not like a full range or not.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
It's really not.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Uh Monsey says, trees just lose their leaves in forty
eight hours. It's like boom, done gone.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
It's just there is no pretty full time here. You're right,
it's not pretty like that like the pictures I see
like this.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Those are real places.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
I put up.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Christmas lights once in ninety degree weather the day after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 10 (35:54):
Jason Stewart, I love that your mom listens to the show.
I can't get my dad to ever do anything I do.
He wants nothing to do with sports. But my late
mom used to always say that raising me in southern California,
you have no idea what it's like to experience seasons.
She would say that to the day she died. She
(36:15):
grew up in upstate New York. I guess if you
have anywhere other than southern California, you know what seasons
are all about.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
I always think about that. I have always said the
biggest deal to me is you love a fifty degree
day in the fall because of the briskness of it,
and I'm looking at Iowa, Sam, because I'm looking at
three Angelinos Los Angeleos next to me. Fifty degree day
in the fall, amazing. Let's throw on the flannel, let's
(36:45):
go outside. It's great. Fifty degree day in March. Shorts,
short sleeves, shirt, because you're used to it being ten degrees,
so the fifty feels like it is just it's basically
hot outside. So fifty degree weather day in October is
loved because it's cool to you. And a fifty degree
(37:06):
day in March is amazing in spring because now it's
the thaw. You've been used to temperatures that are thirty
and forty degrees colder for the previous four or five months,
so that it's amazing and its amazing time, right, Sam,
I agree with that.
Speaker 9 (37:21):
Well, here's also a thing esthetically, October fifty degrees and
how everything looks much more beautiful than March. Everything in
March is brown, muddy. You know, you're like, oh, I
just want to get away from winter. You're entering, so
we still have two more days of summer, and then
when you get in the fall, it's still kind of
dry and there's some sun out. I feel like you
don't see the sun in the Midwest in March. The
(37:43):
point that Sam is trying to make is correct, but
there's a different thinking because you're actually going into the cold,
but you're warned by it because of the.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Coloring of condition. Yes, yeah, you don't care about the
leaves not being on the tree in the snow being
money because you've been underneath the snow for four months
and it's been freezing. So you'll see guys out playing
basketball in fifty degree weather on March twelfth because it
hasn't been like that, and the snow actually melted, so
(38:16):
the pavement is there. But it is a different you
for it. And that's the point that I'm making, is
it's fifty degrees both times. They're both awesome for both
different reasons. Yeah, because it's a new berth. The spring
is the new birth. The colors warm you with the
chill of the fall.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
You know, when I'm working on Dodger Stadium and the tours.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
And it's cold for us here in LA it's sixty degrees.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
We're wearing jackets at top deck.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
There's like a breeze and we're like all, you know,
warmed up or sometimes it's like fifty degrees and literally
I see somebody walk up flip flops and shorts, and
I'm like, where are you visiting from? Because I know
you're not from here and literally from somewhere that has
real weather. But I always know when it's hold over
here and somebody walks up in flip flops, I'm like,
you are not from la oh.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Yeah. Like, as someone who plays golf when it thaws,
it's amazing when you start to see the fairways that
have been covered in snow. It's a great feel. It's
there's but there's there's a little bit of a sadness
in the fall when when the golf courses closed and
the pins are taken out of the green.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
I didn't even know colors warm you golf courses.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
They do, Yeah, they Unfortunately they grass turns yells.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
That makes sense, wouldn't it.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
It's tough to play golf in the fall because sometimes
the leaves. If you're on a tree lined course, you're like,
where's my golf ball? Finding the golf ball the leaves
is much more difficult, uh than it may appear at
the surface.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Seems like a game in itself, it is.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
It truly is all right, let's get back on track. Okay,
we're six minutes in and we've talked about fall. This
is a sports talk show, so let's talk about dating. Yeah,
injury said this.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Which all tight? Yeah, let's talk. I really want to
see who you gonna I love these combos because like
what who is?
Speaker 10 (40:05):
Like?
Speaker 6 (40:06):
Nah?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Like he gotta be tall?
Speaker 5 (40:08):
No, only fross area six seven, six eight?
Speaker 11 (40:11):
Okay, so at NBA MBK with them one baby, skip
pearls and pregnant.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Okay, Okay, I need to I don't know too many
of them. I'm gonna make a call.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah, I don't know too many six eight guys as well.
That from unapologetically Angel. But is it wrong for Angel
Reese who is sixty three to want a man who
is six seven or six eight?
Speaker 4 (40:38):
It's not wrong, But that is difficult because she's she's
listening at sixty three, So I'm gonna assume she's not.
I'm assume she's like six one and a half six two.
I'm assume they gave her a little bit more, but
she is tall.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
But finding a man who's like six one sixty two
sixty three, I feel like it's.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
A lot easier than finding a man who's six seven,
six eight, and I understand why she wants a taller dude.
We're not used to seeing women be taller than the
dude they're dating.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
But when you're that tall, I feel like it's gonna
be harder.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
She probably you know, wants to wear her heels and
all of that, but that that's hard.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
You're she's limiting her pool.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Yeah, I agree, real small pool there, and it's to
the NBA basically, or anybody who plays professional basketball. Yeah,
because there's just there's six eight, six ' nine and
that would they say six to seven.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
And the seven six eight is what she said.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Yeah, like six four six five, right, that's common. Yeah, yeah,
it's more common. It's more that it's common. But yeah,
we've got guys you're six two, six three here to go,
six seven or six eight. They are to this point,
they are likely playing professional basketball or I just don't
see a lot of six ten guys around. You are
(41:51):
limiting yourself. I think she likes the.
Speaker 4 (41:53):
Athlete, yes, No, I think also this is a specific
person she's talking about.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
Agree, of course she has somebody she's dating. They I
think she's tied to Jalen Carter. Is that right, the
NBA player of the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
No, I think a different Oh did you say double
Did you say an NBA player NBA and I just
missed that.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
Yes, I did, the NBA player Jalen Carter for Oh,
maybe that's not his name.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
He's not, is it? Oh from maybe that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
Yes, Jayleen Duran is the guy. Yes that I think
she's tied to who is six ten?
Speaker 3 (42:33):
So maybe that's Sam.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
Can you hit your talk back just for a second.
The it's stuck in my ear out there there we go. Yeah,
that's that's that's perfect. It is weird to see a
woman towering over a man.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
It is it really is.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
I'm five to ten now, I'm happily married. I say
it to say I am not Angel Reese's type.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Yeah, you can't be four inches shorter. Correct and make
it and make it work.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
What I will say though, is Angel Reese is also
at the age that you'd be surprised on like who
you're actually attracted to or that you I don't know,
just all of a sudden I have a thing for
like there's there's you know, you could go back to
the dating, you know, days, and you're doing whatever and
(43:26):
you're having fun your twenties and like, oh they look good,
they look good. There's there's some validity, but there's also
the person that you're just like, why do I have
a thing for that person? Why? Why? When nobody else
they're not like on the market or anything. Something just connects.
Angel Race is going to figure that out at some point,
and that person may only be six to one, so
(43:47):
she's going to have to change on how she thinks
about this stuff because that stuff just naturally happens. This
is such a twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty
four year old conversation where you're putting down things that
you need to have in your man or your person
or however it is. When she gets older, she'll look
back at this and be like, Okay, it's pretty ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (44:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
And also, I don't think it's like Angel Reese.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
Nobody's asking you or telling you that you're gonna fall
in love with a guy who's five to seven. But
there's a very real possibility that you do end up
liking a guy.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
Who is your height. And it's okay if you get
a little bit tall.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
I feel like there's it's okay because she's already so tall.
We already know that it's hard for you to find
somebody who's taller. So if she were to date somebody
hurt height or a little bit shorter, I don't think
we would even blink twice about it.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
She's already so.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
Tall, Like, I really don't think we would even blink
twice if she takes a picture with a guy who's
a couple inches shorter because she's in heels.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
But that's what she's worried about. She's worried about what
it looks.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Like now the heels portion of it is gosh, then
you're even I mean, then it's even smaller of the pool.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
It is even smaller. I know, I know. Trust me
as a shortie, I love that I.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Could literally wear I'm saying, how tall you are?
Speaker 3 (45:01):
I think I'm five feet on a good day.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
Okay, I'm wearing.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
My platform coppers today, so I'm five.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Anybody who's four eights is.
Speaker 3 (45:09):
Just not I can't work with it.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's I listen, I understand the
trickiness of her situation, and I understand you don't want
to date it a short, short guy, but it can't
be like the six to seven guy is your dream,
that's the twenty one and twenty two year old. It
is weird when the girl's taller than the guy. Sorry,
(45:33):
it just is. I know I seen it before, Like
it's not completely out of the rebel possibility and of it.
She's one inch taller. That's totally that it's negligible.
Speaker 4 (45:42):
Yes, yes, yeah, because usually it'scept that they're the same
high and then they put on a heel and then
they're taller.
Speaker 3 (45:47):
What were you going to say?
Speaker 11 (45:48):
I have some questions. Is she going to be showing
up on a first day, like in the lobby of
the nice restaurant with one of those height measuring devices
that they use at the scouting combines. Is it gonna
be like one of those signs at the amusement parks
that say you need to be at least this tall
to ride on this attraction. And also, by throwing it out,
(46:10):
there is there somewhere a six four six ' five
guy who hears this and is going to one day
go on a date with her, and they're gonna come
wearing lifts in their shoes. Performance enhancing substances.
Speaker 9 (46:25):
Timberlands like George Constanza her.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Face to take them off good good reference. Absolutely, yeah,
why not, Well, that's she's setting out the back of
the bat signal she is.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
Because it's also on the other side of it.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
Are there any NBA players that heard this that are
like six two sixty three and they're may be like, wow,
I guess I won't even call her. I won't even try.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
They're still in the game there, they could do it, Yeah,
could do it. Yeah, that's this is her ideal world.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
It is it is we.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
Everybody does that at this point. Injury Injurious is twenty two,
it's probably.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
Yeah, yeah, you can have whatever she wants.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
Yes, yes, the world, yeah, twenty two world is her.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
Oyster literally literally.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
But in five years you'll look back and while I
understand that you will not probably fall in love with
someone six inches shorter than you, you're going to realize
and just the the absurdity to be like, well, I'm
only going to date six seven, I'm only gonna date blondes,
you know, like like yeah, yeah, that sounds absurd, It's
it's ridiculous.
Speaker 10 (47:33):
I totally agree with your take on those, Dan, But
my question I guess for the rest of the crew
here or for our listeners, is it uh no longer
politically correct to say that it looks weird when the
dude is shorter than the woman in the relationship. Because
I've always thought that way and I could never when
I was single be with a taller woman. That's a
(47:53):
strange thing for me. But I think I thought that
I was dismissed at some point for being old fashioned?
Is it politically correct hold that opinion?
Speaker 2 (48:01):
Still?
Speaker 4 (48:02):
I don't think there's anything wrong with holding that opinion,
not at all now. I think that's it's just it
looks different and we're just not used to it, you know,
like if we maybe saw it more often, then we
wouldn't think it's that weird. Iowa Sam, raising his hand
like we're in class.
Speaker 9 (48:17):
I'm just very eager to get this comment out. I
think for some men it's like a power move to
have a woman that's like taller than you. I think
it's like, oh, like like if I I have a
I have a girlfriend. But if I was single and
Cameron Brink wants to go on a date with this
and I show up to like a red carpet event
in like a nice suit and she's like towering, like
(48:39):
six seven inches over me. I'm five ten. I don't
even know how tall she is. She's very tall. I'd
be like, hey, I'm the man up in this piece,
you know. That's what i'd say. On her podcast.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
She has her own podcast on the Brink, and she said,
she goes, I'm only attracted to five to ten guys
from all the Yeah, this news to me. Yes, good
news for bad news for your current girlfriend. By the way,
I'm sure it's loving this conversa.
Speaker 11 (49:06):
It's going to be deleted from the podcast.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
I don't know if Sam I thought at first it
was a humble break, like I've got a girlfriend right now,
but then he was like, I totally date Cameron Brink.
I was like, Okay, maybe it's not the humble.
Speaker 9 (49:19):
I'll just say this, if some men can get over
the height, if they're shorter than a woman, if they're
fine with it, I think it's kind of a power move.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
I think it's it's great. I don't think the guy's
the problem, right right. I think it's the girl being
like I don't want to date shorty, and then everybody
else looking at it being like, yeah, that's weird, I
think though, But Jason says he.
Speaker 3 (49:38):
Doesn't think he could date a taller woman.
Speaker 10 (49:40):
No, I really can't. But I think that that was
that was like labeled as old fashion, and but I
just I do hold those But I do like the
image that you brought up earlier of someone shorter than
MANCEI like, well, I think we met her significant other
at Convenio on richest Christmas thing one year. Yeah, and
if she would have shown up with a four foot
(50:00):
nine guy, it would have been very amusing.
Speaker 4 (50:03):
Right, that would have been impressive that I found a
gentleman that size.
Speaker 3 (50:09):
Actually, that would have been impressive.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
But I remember it was awesome. You carried him in
to the party. That was that was really cool. And
I'm in a backpack. I'd be like, why are you
dating Kyler Murray? Ah, he's Jason Stewart. That's Moonsey milanios

Caitlin Clark is prepping for the WNBA playoffs. Did you
(50:56):
see the schedule? Yes, Sunday, full slate of WNBA playoff games.
The Fever will face the Connecticut Sun at three o'clock
Eastern time, smack dab in the middle of an NFL Sunday.
Speaker 3 (51:08):
I guess I will have that on one of my screens.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Yes, you will, I will probably have I will.
Speaker 3 (51:14):
No, I want to yes. I don't know which which
game is gonna get bummed off.
Speaker 2 (51:18):
But I do think that the WNB I understood because
Games two and if necessary, Game three are on Wednesday
and Friday. Smart they could have done a Tuesday and Thursday,
but then you'd be going up against Thursday Night Football,
which I believe is Giants Cowboys next week. So that
would have been the New York market Cowboys fans. Good
to avoid that, but it would be a Wednesday Friday.
(51:40):
If it ends up going.
Speaker 4 (51:41):
It's nice to see the we games do something right.
