we have Georgia beating Texas. Texas fans throwing stuff on
the field and causing it two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Fine,
Plus the officiating was bad, but the game doesn't really
(01:07):
matter because both teams are going to play in the
College Fall Playoff. We'll get to that now or maybe
in the podcast. We obviously have the NFL game where
the Saquon Barkley return home, he gets booed, dominates, Eagles
beat the Giants. You know, there's a bunch of Chargers
side against the against the Cardinals. What else do you have?
I mean, obviously yesterday's NFL game. I went to the
(01:28):
Packers game. What an unbelievable game for the Packers to
be minus three in turnovers and yet still win. I mean,
as bad as special teams play as you're ever going
to see, and then win on a field goal, which
is ironic because you know, Brenda McManus is a new
field goal kicker. We can get to that. There's a
lot of things. The Detroit Lions, with a tremendous win
(01:50):
over the Minnesota Vikings, who lose by two, got a
chance late in the game to tie it. But I
think we got to start with the World Series. And
here's the thing about Chi about Yankees Dodgers or Dodgers
Yankees however you want to lead it. I am not
a Dodger fan. I like the Dodgers, I love going
(02:10):
to games, I love Dodger Stadium. But I'm not gonna
sit here and lie to you and go like I'm
a lifelong Doggar fan. I'm an Angel fan. I envy
what the Dodgers have. Truly. They have a better stadium,
they obviously have a better team. Their ownership group has
hired better people, and they have a way, way way
better roster, and you know, obviously all the complaining out
(02:35):
of Dodger Land about not winning enough World Series. I
think there is a next level to the discussion, which
is if they lose to the Yankees, is it is
it a great season? By the way, I think the
answer is yes, because they won their division, beat their
beat their rivals in the Padres, and then beat the
(02:57):
Mets in six games. Like, I don't know how it
wouldn't be a great season. But again, that's a different
part of this discussion that we can absolutely positively get to.
We don't necessarily need to get to it at this
particular moment. What I think this moment is really good for.
I think this moment is really really good really good
(03:22):
for reflection on how big this is for baseball, and
in contrast to the mistakes that the WNBA and USA
Basketball made this year. And I understand that like the WNBA,
how many of you know that their championship was decided
(03:43):
last night. I didn't, And there's a lot of complaining
on social media. And then I saw Cheryl Reeve I
think is her name, who's the coach of USA basketball,
but also the Minnesota team the links, complaining about the officiating. Whatever.
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I have multiple TVs. I did the four square thing,
but I don't care enough, like that's really the reality
of it. I really don't care. And oh yeah, by
the way, it was up against the NLCS, which I
did care about, and it was also up against Sunday
Night Football, which I did care about. And some of
(04:21):
that they can't control, because you can't control dictate, mandate
who improves, who's in the playoffs. Those are better teams
than the fever. But the point of it is, here's
why I think it's paramount for baseball to have the
Yankees and the Dodgers, because you're going to have more eyes.
(04:45):
It's just the reality. Then you factor in the two
Japanese players, specifically for the Dodgers, and now the entire
country of Japan is paying attention. So you open up Asia,
you have the West coast and the East coast. The
Yankees the most popular team, you know, all of baseball,
(05:07):
one of the most popular teams in the world in
professional sports. And oh yeah, by the way, you have
stars obviously sho Heyo Tani, Mookie Bets, Aaron Judge. I
guess John Carlo Stantons kind of found a little bit
of a fountain of youth after having a disappointing season,
outstanding alcs and we can kind of go down the
list of other guys. But the people that watch the
(05:28):
World Series, this is it becomes like the Super Bowl
where it's not necessarily the football fan. A lot of
people are gonna watch the World Series now haven't watched
baseball all year long, and they wouldn't watch baseball if
it was the Guardians and the Mets. It's just the
reality of it. You need something, you need a drawing
card that will bring people to it, and then they'll
(05:48):
see that baseball is different than it used to be.
It still has the same magic as we've seen these
playoffs of sometimes Out's twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven
seem way harder to get than any of the twenty
four outs that preceded it. It still has Fox does
a great job, right, Fox does a really good job.
(06:11):
I love Smoltz. I don't know if you've changed your
tune on Smoltz Chase do. I think it's like it's
like listening with a cheat code, knowing what pitch is
gonna come, Like, how do you know that? Does he
know all the signs? It's crazy? And I like I
like Rosenthal, and I like I like Verducci way more
on the sideline than I did when he was in
the booth. I think you got baseball guys and they
(06:33):
teach and then they you know, Fox always does the
close ups. I'm so in. Also, you have fall baseball
in New York. It's just the world feels better that
way it does. You know, pinstripes Yankee Stadium. You can
go to your mouth, you have the youet the the
steam from your breath coming like it just feels right.
(06:58):
Oh yeah. By the way, they're managed by two guys
that played in the greatest couple of series ever in
my lifetime. Or in modern baseball in the last twenty
five years, you got Aaron effing Boone that ended it
in three, and then you have Dave Roberts that started
(07:19):
to comeback in four. You have history with the Jerseys,
the Brooklyn Dodgers to La Dodgers and the matchup going
back to nineteen what was it eighty, And then you
have the history of those two. You have the superstars
of the sport. You have a wide span of fans everywhere,
(07:42):
not just domestically but also nationally. And the game is
better now than it's ever been. The rule changes have worked,
It moves quicker, it makes more sense. Athleticism has come
back to play. Still in bases have come back to play.
Baseball is still inherently a boring game by comparison to
(08:02):
basketball and to football because the action, but postseason baseball
masks some of that, and many of the new rules
mask it even greater. None of that matters if you
can't get people to initially watch, you can't get them
initially in the door. And then again, like, look, if
you get let's say ten million people to watch game one,
(08:23):
I'm just throwing out a number there, and I don't
know what they've gotten previously, but we're talking about all
time lows in World Series ratings. If a million of
those people go, you know, I kind of like it,
I'm kind of in, and maybe they each buy a
ticket to see one game next year, it dramatically changes
(08:45):
a trajectory, not just buying hats and jerseys and falling
in love. And we'll have a new star. Maybe we'll
have show heir or maybe Aaron Judge hits one in
a moon. That was the whole thing with the WNBA
and USA basketball screwing up and not having Caitlin Clark
in the Olympics, right, because I could make the case
that the Padres are actually better than the Dodgers. But
(09:07):
Padres Yankees doesn't do it like Dodgers Yankees does it.
And Baseball did nothing wrong. It wasn't like they they
helped out the Dodgers that they called a couple more strikes,
called a couple more balls. No, the reality is the
Dodgers didn't name brand bring more eyes than the Padres do.
Even the Padres, especially based upon the health and starting
pitching at the end of the year, probably the better
(09:28):
team didn't play better. Probably the better team that's the
same thing as the USA basketball. They were gonna win
the Olympics regardless, but not having Caitlin Clark kept away
those a million or two million or three million more
eyes that would have watched that would have gone. Damn.
Women's basketball is a lot better than I thought. So
(09:53):
I'm excited. I know, obviously, Jay stew you're gonna have
some sort of curmudgeon I think my team's gonna get
swept sort of thing. But I got this is all
appointment viewing. Friday night is game one? Is that right?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Friday night?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yep, Friday night is game one, which is perfect. You
have some college football, but not going up against the
NFL Friday night in LA. What times first pitch eight
oh eight, so five oh eight.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Local, seven to eight Central, five o eight local.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
What time would you have to leave the station to
get in to see introductions in the national anthem? And
just so you know, if there's no traffic, if it's
a weekend and there's no baseball game there, it takes
fifteen minutes to get from the radio station to the
(10:52):
Dodger Stadium parking lot fifteen twenty minutes max on a Friday,
five oh eight first pitch it would take hour and
a half hour forty five.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
We think that sounds about right. I mean, if it
all depends, are you are you the guy? Are you
the Doug Gottlieb that wants to be the last person
on the plane and push it up to the very
very end of it. No, I'm not that guy.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I did the last time the Dodger. When was the
last World Series that they were in? Not the Pandemic one,
twenty eighteen Red Sox twenty eighteen Red Sox. I went
to game one or Game two, and it was back
then we were done with radio what at three? And
first pitch was at five? And I did not see
(11:46):
first pitch even though I headed there straight away.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yeah, that sounds right.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It was crazy. It was crazy. How excited are you?
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I'm fired up. I don't know if I could be
more excited, to be honest, I mean, I'm excited. It
really hit me last night. It really hit me that
we're going to be playing the Yankees in the World
Series and the game that I've always loved most. And
I do remember, this is how old I am. I
do remember the eighty one series eighty one and then
(12:23):
you see all the film footage of the seventy seven
and eighty eight series and Reggie Jackson. I'm sure that'll
be played on That'll be repeatedly played the highlights of
Reggie Jackson. But to your first point that you made
about the ratings, here's my theory, and Dan, you tell
me what you think about this. I want to get
(12:43):
both of your perspectives on this. This whole. The ratings
will be up, there'll be more eyes. I do think
that's true, Doug. But I don't know if there's going
to be new eyes. I don't know if there's going
to be gen Z eyes. I just don't know if
that generation has really caught on. I don't know if
it ever will, but I do I do think it's
(13:04):
this gen Z has parents that will watch the game.
Baseball has that thing that most sports don't. That watching
with your parents, watching with your old man is just
something that's kind of generational in that respect. And I
think maybe those eyes will go to the screen to
watch with their grandpa or with their dad or mom.
(13:25):
I think you'll get a lot of that. That's what
that'll be reflected in the ratings. I just don't know
if baseball is gonna win anybody over. I know there'll
be a lot more eyes and that that'll probably be
the reason that does that work for you guys?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Uh yeah, I think it works. I I do think
they'll be young eyes. I don't know if they'll be young,
they'll be young Japanese eyes. I don't think there's any doubt.
And I think there'll be some a very small number
of younger sports fans' eyes. And I also think, look,
(14:00):
Yankees and Dodgers. What draws people to the NFL gambling right,
And I think on a Friday night, I think those names.
I think that will generate the gambling market, which also
is kind of young male demo. So that's where I
think it may go a slightly counter to what you're saying,
(14:21):
but definitely I agree with you on there is something
about sitting down with your dad with your grandpa, with
your mom with your grandma and watching bass, cracking a beer,
watching baseball, and you know, talking about all the great
Yankees and Dodgers of all time.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I don't I you know, I wish I lived in
the Midwest to be able to give the outside opinion
at this point, to get the feel of what Middle
America feels about these two behemoths. It will be a draw.
It absolutely will, way more so than what last year's
World Series was. Poor Rangers and Diamondbacks are just catching
(14:59):
strays the last twenty four hours. But I wonder if
it will be a back end where okay, if this
goes six to seven, you know what game six and seven,
that's where ultimate draw is. Or if it will start
immediately from game one coming up on Friday night, That's
what I don't know. And missing Sunday in its entirety,
(15:22):
brilliant move. Brilliant move.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Completely agree. So for people who don't know, the World
Series schedule does not include Sunday games. And that's just
it's a sacrifice of ego. It's the anti guy thing.
It's the we always used to refuse to ask for directions, right,
why are you challenging a fight to an undefeated fighter.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
There was a time, there was a time where the
NFL did not schedule on the opening weekend of the
World Series a Sunday night game. They would not schedule it.
Now we know how the NFL schedules, and so sometimes
what you would get is if you had a seven
game series, there would be a Sunday night game the
next week and when there would be a game seven.
But there was a there was a period of time
when the NFL had a Sunday night game that they
(16:10):
would not schedule it at that point. Granted it also,
I don't think it was on network TV at the time.
I think it was on ESPN or TNT when they
had the package. But yeah, times are different now. Because
there was a game on Sunday, it would be a
wasted opportunity. But the way that it sets up, I
think is is very good.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
No, I'll give you the example. We were playing oklahom
State our first game. It's on November fourth, that's a
week was it a week from next Monday? So two
weeks from today?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
And I really wanted to do it, you know, on
the second, which is but you can't play a game
on the second because they play homecoming. It's now at
six o'clock. Like we could have done Homecoming that day
and it would have been a sellout, it would have
been amazing. Or I said, okay, so let's push it
back to the fifth. But that's election day and we're
not playing election day, so we're doing the fourth. The
(16:55):
reason I didn't want to do it the fourth twofold
one Monday night football, so you're you get pushed out
in chances of doing on ESPN. They have the rights
to that camp first right at first refusal, and then
you have the Thunder play in that night, and like
that takes up a lot of the oxygen and people
from going to the game. So but anyway, and the
(17:15):
point is, like what you don't have to No one
says you have to play on Sundays. It's a very
very smart move, very smart move, Big Apple Sam. You
can speak to this from both because obviously now you're
a Big Apple Sam, but you used to be Iowa Sam.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Maybe one day I can return to Iowa Sam. Maybe
hopefully maybe once the World Series is over.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Maybe maybe in the meantime. What's your level of interest?
Speaker 6 (17:44):
It's high, definitely high. I mean, listen, I live in
the city where one of the teams is playing, so
the you know, the enthusiasm is pretty infectious. And listen,
I do root for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I do.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
It's hard not to and living in this town, so
my interest is high. And yeah, Yankees Dodgers. I think
they had a lot of Dodger fans if they won
this World Series, they'd feel good about, like kind of
getting another one on top of the COVID World Series.
And then when you beat the Yankees in the World
Series and it's like a normal year, that's pretty much
like it tops out there. So I think that, yeah,
(18:19):
I do think the middle of the country will pay attention,
but I think the majority of the eyes are obviously
going to be on the coast. A lot of people
in California are gonna be watching, a lot of people
in the Northeast are gonna be watching.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I'm excited baseball has a chance to be back. A
seven game epic series would be amazing, and obviously you
just hopeful all the stars show out right, But that
was it was good baseball this weekend. Obviously, blowouts in
a couple of those games which took away from it.
(18:49):
But you get the Yankees, you get the Dodgers. It
starts Friday night on Fox.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
What Up, It's Doug ally Shoe Fox Sports Radio. I'm
still like such a good football weekend, such a good one,
Chiefs going to beat the Niners in Santa Clara. Here's
Andy Reed talking about his team's play.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
We got plenty of room to improve on things. Eventually,
guys will start coming back at the thing I appreciate
the most, or guys stepping up and then the other
guys trusting them to step up so and believing in them,
and then the coach is just coaching.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Here's Pat Mahomes talking about his own play, which didn't
throw a touchdown pass a couple interceptions.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
Out through the pick. I don't know if I'll start
up from that at froz Fardo got through my second
pick and kind of hurt our defense there in that situation.
And so we continue to just make strides in the
right direction, but at the same time, we make those
these mistakes, especially me, and so we're winning football games,
which is awesome. We're gonna try to continue to get better.
Was not trying to like lower my sholder. I was
trying to like absorb the hit kind of I was
gonna be right on the end of right there in
the end zone, and that Dad bought man just had
(20:06):
enough weight on me where he went down.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
That's that's pretty funny. That's actually really I had not
heard that clip. Brock Pertty had a miserable Game three pick.
Here's what he had to say about those interceptions.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
I think I just I got to play better, for sure,
just with my throws some decisions, and that's that's pretty simple.
I obviously got to watch the film and stuff, but
my instant reaction has got to play better. The second
interception was on me again. Ronnie did his job. I
thought he just got pemmed up. I didn't know where
he was going to come out on his route, so
I just started putting it on him and then he
ended up breaking out pretty pretty good.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
By the way, Brandon Ayuk appears appears to be lost
for the year. But the thing about the Chiefs is
they just find ways to win games. That's really it.
They just find ways to win games. You know, Pat
Mahomes sots for one fifty four two interceptions, no touchdowns,
five point seven yards per completion, and they find ways
(21:01):
to win games. So impressive. And you know, a fairly
catastrophic injury to the Niners one of the most talented players.
And here we are again with the Niners going you know,
I like brock Purty, but is he good enough? All
Right's Doug Gotlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. Here on behalf
(21:22):
of Kingsford Charcoal is he was an all time great
Texas longhorn. Of course, he was an all pro with
the Kansasity Chiefs. Sees Jamal Charles, He joins us on
the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Jamal, how
are you?
Speaker 9 (21:35):
I'm good?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
How you doing great?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Bar?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
All right, let's let's start with the Horns. What happened Saturday?
Speaker 9 (21:44):
Oh man, It's just that Georgia was a better team
than us, and the guys was the moment. You know
what I'm saying, wasn't ready. They wasn't ready for the moment.
And everybody know that I can't cheer color can he
came here to say, but you know, we just had
to come out and play with like we really want
to be there.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
And you know, there are always going to be people
that are going to blame the officials. Obviously some super
questionable officiating the game. How much did that play a
factor in the final final outcome?
Speaker 9 (22:14):
I think if you play well, I feel like that
the referees don't have nothing to do with the game,
Like you can't blame it on the referees.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You know, Texas obviously last year got to the playoffs.
What is it like to feel like Texas is back
among the nations elite?
Speaker 9 (22:32):
I mean, that's awesome, that's a good. Uh, that's a
good for the State of Texas to definitely uh to
see our horns because everybody always like the big cowboy team.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
But being from.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
Uh Texas, Uh Texas man, State of Texas and going
to University of Texas ain't nothing to Texas, like right
there on top of you just a lot of You
can have a lot of thoughts around that stuff because
you don't want to be in them, you know.
Speaker 9 (22:59):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah, listen, and we all know about the colt.
We don't we don't talk about the colt. There's there's this.
Let's let's get to the Chiefs. Okay. Obviously you're a
part of it for a long time, and you guys
used to run those roadblocks in the playoffs, Pat Mahomes
and this group has broken through. But I thought, like
I thought, yesterday was a perfect example of how this
(23:21):
team just figures out a way to win, right like
he throws a couple of picks. They're not really moving
it offensively through the air, but they just find a way.
How they How are they doing it right? They don't
have star wide receivers, they keep running through running backs,
they bring Kareem Hunt back and yet they still keep winning.
How are they doing this? Jamal?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (23:39):
People understand, Yeah, Pat can be one of the massive pieces,
but everybody understand you gotta have a good coach too.
You got to have a coach like coach and like
everybody understand like coaches and they got to basically two
head coach, a three head coach with a special team
in defense. Uh bag like people do understan Like how
(24:00):
hard to get a coaching airing together and to basically
to to to keep their crew together and have these
players play for your plate for them like people play
for coach injury. It is not like uh he just uh,
he's just a regular coach. He's a great coach.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Okay, you're you're joining us on behalf of kings for charcoal,
So let's let's talk some barbecue, right because you live
in Texas and in Kansas City, all right, So I'm
not gonna put on you put it on you with
like where's the better barbecue capital? But when you're gonna grill,
what do you do? And remember grilling is not barbecuing.
And like if you you put some kings for charcoal
(24:40):
down and you grill a burger, like, that's grilling. That's
not barbecuing.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Are you and I in agreement there?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (24:46):
That's grilling right? Yes?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yes? So if you're a are do you are your
ribs guy, A brisket guy, a pull pork guy? What's
what's your jam in the barbecue world?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I like.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
Wings chicken guy, and uh, I like I like going
like different all the maculated guy. And I'm also a
little lamb chopping. Also a little grilled oxtailed.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
On there too as well, A little ox little oxtail
really really good for you, healthy for you.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Dry rub you put sauce on your stuff? What do
you do while you're grilling? What do you do?
Speaker 9 (25:18):
I'm a flavor guy. I like sweet, so put it.
I definitely put soft on mines. I gotta have. I
gotta have rub on it, soft on it everything.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Wait, so you put rubs and sauces.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
I'm a sweet guy.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Okay, I'm sweet, sweet sauce. I feel you, I feel
you sweet. I like dry rubs. I like low and slow,
and I like dry rubs. I'm a I'm a dry
rub guy. That's what. It doesn't matter. If I'll smoke
a chicken, I'll smoke some ribs, I'll smoke some brisket,
I'll smoke some pull pork. I like low and slow,
(25:53):
a ton of rub on it. I'm more salty than sweet,
although occasionally I'll put a little sweet barbecue where then
you can mix it so you can dip the too.
I like more dipping than I don't like to lather
it on.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
I don't like you don't really stuff I'm going, I
like it on it. But they had I had an

the ou week at the saith Ara Man. It was
awesome and able to just be around smelling barbecue and
the smell of the king for chucko and and grilling
and passing the food out and it was a it
(26:22):
was an awesome time just uh, just seeing the fans
and they small and they smell and it's just something
about when you smell that that smokes that smoke smell.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Oh, it's it's amazing, Like you wake up to that
smoke smell. You're like, okay, there's something good to eat

To Australia, but now came for it. Were just doing
something different and I'm glad I had the opportunity. Is
able to get the grilling and smoking because they ain't
nothing like having tailgate. So that's all I can do

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Tailgate, I tell you, man, join the rest of us.
We're just tailgating the little Kingsford on a Saturday or
Sunday or even of course some Monday. Jamal is always
good to catch up with you. Love watching you play.
Great to talk to you as well. Thanks for our guests.
Speaker 9 (27:26):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
It's Jamal Charles joining us here on the Doug Outleap
Show on Fox Sports Radio. Perfect timing. We have breaking news.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Here's Dan Byer, breaking news from Fox Spord Doug.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
One of the injuries that occurred yesterday the NFL happened
in the Nation's capital, with Jayden Daniels of the Washington
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn saying that Daniels is now
considered week to week with a rib injury not expected
to be super serious. However, they did say that they
want to have caution with this injury. His status for
their Week eight game against the Bears right now up
(28:01):
in the air. So Jade Daniels, who was injured early
in that game against the Panthers, considered week to week
according to the head coach Dan Quinn.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Okay, what a start he's had to his career. And
I got a chance to see obviously Texans versus Packers yesterday. Byer,
when you're working in studio, how much tension? Which game
did you have? Were you're paying most attention to?
Speaker 2 (28:26):
So yeah, so our show doesn't go on into the
late windows, so we have obviously Chiefs Niners was the
big game yesterday. I thought the biggest game actually including
in that late window yesterday was Lions Vikings. But I
had Packers Texans ranked third entering the day in the
importance and intrigue of that matchup. But yeah, quite the game.
(28:48):
I mean the Packers had CJ. Stroud just befuddled throughout
and practically almost gave the game away. I will give
the Texans credit for getting Joe Mixon going.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Yeah, yeah, it was great. One hundred and ten yards.
Why would you jump into the stands to do the
Lambeau leap on the road. There was one Texan fan
I just and like somebody got thrown out for dumping
a beer on him. But then he snuck back and
then they had him back in it. It was almost
like they took him outside and like, don't do that again,
and then he came back in. He was after McManus
kicked the field goal. Then McManus went and jumped in
(29:18):
the stands.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah. Yeah, it happens more often than you would think.
I think there was a game earlier this year where
someone jumped in the stands where there were other there
were fans of that team getting those front row But
we've seen it before. Remember Aaron Jones was talking about
like his return. Maybe that's who it was in jumping in.
But it's not foreign that it's happened. It's actually, I think,
(29:40):
kind of neat. I don't think it's disrespectful to the Packers.
I think it's more of, Hey, I want to be
a part of this.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah, yeah, it's such a cool thing. I wish I
was a part of it. Hey, I'm gonna try it myself.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of like and to make the
Wisconsin connection. When they do jump around at the Wisconsin Games,
you see the other sideline jumping up and down having
a good time as well. Oh that's kind of how
I look at it.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yeah, jumping ju jump around, jump up, jump up and down,
jump jump jump. Uh. It was a really good game,
and it's interesting, right c J. Stroud wasn't particularly good
and he he was kind of seeing ghosts. They put
some pressure on him, which the Packers had struggled with
earlier in the year.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
But and as good as Jordan Love made some unbelievable throws,
he was kind of far of like yesterday, I mean
it was like one of those like uh yeah, leading
the league in touchdowns leading the league interceptions two, and
then their special teams play on punts was just it
was almost comical. Right, they fumbled one when the punt
returners should have caught it, and then he didn't for
(30:42):
whatever reason. Then the next one, he he ran literally
right into where the defense was. Then they switched and
they put Reid back there, and uh uh, he wasn't
particularly good. He caught one it like the four yard
line and it actually the momentum took him in the
end zone, got tackled with like the five where and
(31:02):
it was a little bit windy. It was a really
nice day, Like seventy eight degrees is crazy in the
middle of October. But I don't know, Like I kind
of thought it was punt return one on one, like
put your heels on the ten and if it goes
over your head, you let it go, right, isn't that?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It went usually, I thought, So that was me.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Get Up, Stand Up, Doug Gottlieb Show. Fox Sports Radio.
Let's turn over to Dan Byer. Get to a game.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
This is game time. Game on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Danny B.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
What do you got, Doug?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
The game today is big deal, little deal, no deal.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Big deal, little deal or no deal. That Russell Wilson
of the Steelers to a win over the Jets in
his season debut.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I think it's a little deal. He won. But let's
not act like he set the world on fire. Right,
Nobody's sitting there going like, you know, who's back. Russell's back,
He's good. Jets are a mess. The story of that
game was the Jets are a mess. That's the that's
the real story. You know, the steel has had eight
(32:32):
rushing first downs. They're better on third down. That was
they had more yards, but they had so many more attempts. Uh,
you know because of the turnovers. You're you're up to
two to nine on turnovers. I thought he's efficient, but like,
it's not. It's not. It's not a no deal, but
it's a little deal.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Big deal, little deal or no deal. That Aaron Rodgers
and the Jets lost in the New York debut for
DeVante Adams.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Well, also, he didn't get the ball and didn't really
do much in the second half. So I think that's
a big deal. You know, it did look like more
of the same in that just because you brought in
a different player, the Jets still looked a bit dysfunctional.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
It's funny because in just this team is not two
and five, they are three games back of Buffalo, and
Buffalo right now has a win over them from last week.
Just not it's all self induced as well. None of
this is just like ah, bad luck. It's yeah, it's
(33:34):
all self induced, which makes it that much more interesting.
All right, Doug, big deal, A little deal of no
deal that Bill Belichick disagreed with Patriots head coaches Drod
Mayo's assessment that Mayo's defense was soft. Belichick making the
comments on the Pat McAfee show sticking up for I
guess as former players.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I think it is kind of a big deal. Like
obviously there's a little bit of a disconnect there if
you've paid attention to where Mayo was kind of trying
to charge his own path. I would also say that
Belichick would never, as much as he was hard to
pull things out of at press conferences, he was never
(34:17):
he was never really super super critical of his own team.
Just wasn't He just wouldn't say anything. So I do
think there's a world where Mayo, because you know, like
Bill self, will do this with his team every year
where he'll say, Hill, they're soft to start the year,
and sometimes they are, but they can't play for him
if they're soft. So sometimes it's kind of a manipulation
(34:37):
of your players by saying that, and maybe that's what
he meant by it. But I do think it's a
big deal for the longtime former head coach of the Patriots,
who the current head coach worked under to disagree with
them on National TV.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
I agree with Mayo considering they ruined my unbeaten gambler
streak this past weekend. Ah, those Patriots, I should have learned.
Big deal, little dealer, no deal, Doug that Colt said.
Coach Sheen Steiken took responsibility for Anthony Richardson's performance against
the Dolphins. It was a win, but he went ten
to twenty four for one hundred and twenty nine yards.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Um, what's the big deal, A little deal or no deal?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
That Shane Steichen is the one who took responsibility, saying
that he didn't see much out there for Richardson to
do much. He's got to do better provide them better
opportunities to get guys open. Let's me paraphrasing, that's.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
A little deal, a smart deal. You know, he's right.
I mean they it was a lot like how the
Packers played against the Colts, where like, let's not throw it.
We don't have to because he can't. But that's also
protecting your young quarterback who's clearly on some levels of struggling.
I don't think anybody would argue with that.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
More quarterbacking news, big deal, little deal or no deal
that Brian Dabole is sticking with Daniel Jones as the
Giant starting quarterback.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
M that is, that's a little deal. You know, he's
played well this season at times. Obviously this is going
to be the last year for him unless he plays way, way, way,
way way better. But I think it's a little deal
because he's had some good games so far to start
(36:16):
the season.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Finally, Doug, big deal, little deal or no deal that
Vanderbilt is ranked for the first time in college football
since twenty thirteen. Commodore is coming in at number twenty
five in this week's AP Top twenty five pole.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
It's a big deal in this environment, in that league
to get in the top twenty five. It's a big deal,
really really big deal.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Vanderbilt in the top twenty five. Michigan dropped out South Carolina,
Nebraska receiving votes. Those are just some of the Nicks
in They got one vote that is correct.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
That was a shell lacking.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Indiana only moved up three spots, up to number thirteen.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Well, I mean, like, look, I get how the AP voters.
It's the same thing as Heisman voters. Like you get
these people that they they cover a team, right, So
if I go cover a team, I can't watch the game.
If you watch that game Nebraska Indiana, You're like, there's
just how could you possibly rank Nebraska after that? How
(37:22):
could you not move Indiana? They looked really good.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I agree with you. Texas, by the way, and the
rankings only dropped a fifth. I say, home loss to Georgia,
I know, not the worst loss in the world, but
I thought maybe they would fall a little bit further.
Miami six at seven and O Tennessee, what is there?
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Here's the question, like, what is their big what is
Texas's big win this year? Now? Look, Miami is sitting
behind them, and Miami should have been beaten twice Yeah,
but who'd they beat?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah, eh, doesn't Eh. Hey, they got a chance to
beat Vanderbilt this weekend. They did. To add to the resume.
Speaker 6 (37:59):
There anchors down, anchors away, whatever it is, anchors down.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I think, yeah, that's anchor down. Game time, game.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
This is game time on The Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
That league is ridiculous. That league is so good. It's
just it's just absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
By the way, we have we talked about the Tony
Bennett th When do we talk about the Tony Bennett thing.
I'm trying to think we spend any time a little bit. Friday.

we have Georgia beating Texas. Texas fans throwing stuff on
the field and causing it two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Fine,
Plus the officiating was bad, but the game doesn't really
(01:07):
matter because both teams are going to play in the
College Fall Playoff. We'll get to that now or maybe
in the podcast. We obviously have the NFL game where
the Saquon Barkley return home, he gets booed, dominates, Eagles
beat the Giants. You know, there's a bunch of Chargers
side against the against the Cardinals. What else do you have?
I mean, obviously yesterday's NFL game. I went to the
(01:28):
Packers game. What an unbelievable game for the Packers to
be minus three in turnovers and yet still win. I mean,
as bad as special teams play as you're ever going
to see, and then win on a field goal, which
is ironic because you know, Brenda McManus is a new
field goal kicker. We can get to that. There's a
lot of things. The Detroit Lions, with a tremendous win
(01:50):
over the Minnesota Vikings, who lose by two, got a
chance late in the game to tie it. But I
think we got to start with the World Series. And
here's the thing about Chi about Yankees Dodgers or Dodgers
Yankees however you want to lead it. I am not
a Dodger fan. I like the Dodgers, I love going
(02:10):
to games, I love Dodger Stadium. But I'm not gonna
sit here and lie to you and go like I'm
a lifelong Doggar fan. I'm an Angel fan. I envy
what the Dodgers have. Truly. They have a better stadium,
they obviously have a better team. Their ownership group has
hired better people, and they have a way, way way
better roster, and you know, obviously all the complaining out
(02:35):
of Dodger Land about not winning enough World Series. I
think there is a next level to the discussion, which
is if they lose to the Yankees, is it is
it a great season? By the way, I think the
answer is yes, because they won their division, beat their
beat their rivals in the Padres, and then beat the
(02:57):
Mets in six games. Like, I don't know how it
wouldn't be a great season. But again, that's a different
part of this discussion that we can absolutely positively get to.
We don't necessarily need to get to it at this
particular moment. What I think this moment is really good for.
I think this moment is really really good really good
(03:22):
for reflection on how big this is for baseball, and
in contrast to the mistakes that the WNBA and USA
Basketball made this year. And I understand that like the WNBA,
how many of you know that their championship was decided
(03:43):
last night. I didn't, And there's a lot of complaining
on social media. And then I saw Cheryl Reeve I
think is her name, who's the coach of USA basketball,
but also the Minnesota team the links, complaining about the officiating. Whatever.
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I have multiple TVs. I did the four square thing,
but I don't care enough, like that's really the reality
of it. I really don't care. And oh yeah, by
the way, it was up against the NLCS, which I
did care about, and it was also up against Sunday
Night Football, which I did care about. And some of
(04:21):
that they can't control, because you can't control dictate, mandate
who improves, who's in the playoffs. Those are better teams
than the fever. But the point of it is, here's
why I think it's paramount for baseball to have the
Yankees and the Dodgers, because you're going to have more eyes.
(04:45):
It's just the reality. Then you factor in the two
Japanese players, specifically for the Dodgers, and now the entire
country of Japan is paying attention. So you open up Asia,
you have the West coast and the East coast. The
Yankees the most popular team, you know, all of baseball,
(05:07):
one of the most popular teams in the world in
professional sports. And oh yeah, by the way, you have
stars obviously sho Heyo Tani, Mookie Bets, Aaron Judge. I
guess John Carlo Stantons kind of found a little bit
of a fountain of youth after having a disappointing season,
outstanding alcs and we can kind of go down the
list of other guys. But the people that watch the
(05:28):
World Series, this is it becomes like the Super Bowl
where it's not necessarily the football fan. A lot of
people are gonna watch the World Series now haven't watched
baseball all year long, and they wouldn't watch baseball if
it was the Guardians and the Mets. It's just the
reality of it. You need something, you need a drawing
card that will bring people to it, and then they'll
(05:48):
see that baseball is different than it used to be.
It still has the same magic as we've seen these
playoffs of sometimes Out's twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven
seem way harder to get than any of the twenty
four outs that preceded it. It still has Fox does
a great job, right, Fox does a really good job.
(06:11):
I love Smoltz. I don't know if you've changed your
tune on Smoltz Chase do. I think it's like it's
like listening with a cheat code, knowing what pitch is
gonna come, Like, how do you know that? Does he
know all the signs? It's crazy? And I like I
like Rosenthal, and I like I like Verducci way more
on the sideline than I did when he was in
the booth. I think you got baseball guys and they
(06:33):
teach and then they you know, Fox always does the
close ups. I'm so in. Also, you have fall baseball
in New York. It's just the world feels better that
way it does. You know, pinstripes Yankee Stadium. You can
go to your mouth, you have the youet the the
steam from your breath coming like it just feels right.
(06:58):
Oh yeah. By the way, they're managed by two guys
that played in the greatest couple of series ever in
my lifetime. Or in modern baseball in the last twenty
five years, you got Aaron effing Boone that ended it
in three, and then you have Dave Roberts that started
(07:19):
to comeback in four. You have history with the Jerseys,
the Brooklyn Dodgers to La Dodgers and the matchup going
back to nineteen what was it eighty, And then you
have the history of those two. You have the superstars
of the sport. You have a wide span of fans everywhere,
(07:42):
not just domestically but also nationally. And the game is
better now than it's ever been. The rule changes have worked,
It moves quicker, it makes more sense. Athleticism has come
back to play. Still in bases have come back to play.
Baseball is still inherently a boring game by comparison to
(08:02):
basketball and to football because the action, but postseason baseball
masks some of that, and many of the new rules
mask it even greater. None of that matters if you
can't get people to initially watch, you can't get them
initially in the door. And then again, like, look, if
you get let's say ten million people to watch game one,
(08:23):
I'm just throwing out a number there, and I don't
know what they've gotten previously, but we're talking about all
time lows in World Series ratings. If a million of
those people go, you know, I kind of like it,
I'm kind of in, and maybe they each buy a
ticket to see one game next year, it dramatically changes
(08:45):
a trajectory, not just buying hats and jerseys and falling
in love. And we'll have a new star. Maybe we'll
have show heir or maybe Aaron Judge hits one in
a moon. That was the whole thing with the WNBA
and USA basketball screwing up and not having Caitlin Clark
in the Olympics, right, because I could make the case
that the Padres are actually better than the Dodgers. But
(09:07):
Padres Yankees doesn't do it like Dodgers Yankees does it.
And Baseball did nothing wrong. It wasn't like they they
helped out the Dodgers that they called a couple more strikes,
called a couple more balls. No, the reality is the
Dodgers didn't name brand bring more eyes than the Padres do.
Even the Padres, especially based upon the health and starting
pitching at the end of the year, probably the better
(09:28):
team didn't play better. Probably the better team that's the
same thing as the USA basketball. They were gonna win
the Olympics regardless, but not having Caitlin Clark kept away
those a million or two million or three million more
eyes that would have watched that would have gone. Damn.
Women's basketball is a lot better than I thought. So
(09:53):
I'm excited. I know, obviously, Jay stew you're gonna have
some sort of curmudgeon I think my team's gonna get
swept sort of thing. But I got this is all
appointment viewing. Friday night is game one? Is that right?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Friday night?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yep, Friday night is game one, which is perfect. You
have some college football, but not going up against the
NFL Friday night in LA. What times first pitch eight
oh eight, so five oh eight.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Local, seven to eight Central, five o eight local.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
What time would you have to leave the station to
get in to see introductions in the national anthem? And
just so you know, if there's no traffic, if it's
a weekend and there's no baseball game there, it takes
fifteen minutes to get from the radio station to the
(10:52):
Dodger Stadium parking lot fifteen twenty minutes max on a Friday,
five oh eight first pitch it would take hour and
a half hour forty five.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
We think that sounds about right. I mean, if it
all depends, are you are you the guy? Are you
the Doug Gottlieb that wants to be the last person
on the plane and push it up to the very
very end of it. No, I'm not that guy.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I did the last time the Dodger. When was the
last World Series that they were in? Not the Pandemic one,
twenty eighteen Red Sox twenty eighteen Red Sox. I went
to game one or Game two, and it was back
then we were done with radio what at three? And
first pitch was at five? And I did not see
(11:46):
first pitch even though I headed there straight away.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yeah, that sounds right.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It was crazy. It was crazy. How excited are you?
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I'm fired up. I don't know if I could be
more excited, to be honest, I mean, I'm excited. It
really hit me last night. It really hit me that
we're going to be playing the Yankees in the World
Series and the game that I've always loved most. And
I do remember, this is how old I am. I
do remember the eighty one series eighty one and then
(12:23):
you see all the film footage of the seventy seven
and eighty eight series and Reggie Jackson. I'm sure that'll
be played on That'll be repeatedly played the highlights of
Reggie Jackson. But to your first point that you made
about the ratings, here's my theory, and Dan, you tell
me what you think about this. I want to get
(12:43):
both of your perspectives on this. This whole. The ratings
will be up, there'll be more eyes. I do think
that's true, Doug. But I don't know if there's going
to be new eyes. I don't know if there's going
to be gen Z eyes. I just don't know if
that generation has really caught on. I don't know if
it ever will, but I do I do think it's
(13:04):
this gen Z has parents that will watch the game.
Baseball has that thing that most sports don't. That watching
with your parents, watching with your old man is just
something that's kind of generational in that respect. And I
think maybe those eyes will go to the screen to
watch with their grandpa or with their dad or mom.
(13:25):
I think you'll get a lot of that. That's what
that'll be reflected in the ratings. I just don't know
if baseball is gonna win anybody over. I know there'll
be a lot more eyes and that that'll probably be
the reason that does that work for you guys?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Uh yeah, I think it works. I I do think
they'll be young eyes. I don't know if they'll be young,
they'll be young Japanese eyes. I don't think there's any doubt.
And I think there'll be some a very small number
of younger sports fans' eyes. And I also think, look,
(14:00):
Yankees and Dodgers. What draws people to the NFL gambling right,
And I think on a Friday night, I think those names.
I think that will generate the gambling market, which also
is kind of young male demo. So that's where I
think it may go a slightly counter to what you're saying,
(14:21):
but definitely I agree with you on there is something
about sitting down with your dad with your grandpa, with
your mom with your grandma and watching bass, cracking a beer,
watching baseball, and you know, talking about all the great
Yankees and Dodgers of all time.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I don't I you know, I wish I lived in
the Midwest to be able to give the outside opinion
at this point, to get the feel of what Middle
America feels about these two behemoths. It will be a draw.
It absolutely will, way more so than what last year's
World Series was. Poor Rangers and Diamondbacks are just catching
(14:59):
strays the last twenty four hours. But I wonder if
it will be a back end where okay, if this
goes six to seven, you know what game six and seven,
that's where ultimate draw is. Or if it will start
immediately from game one coming up on Friday night, That's
what I don't know. And missing Sunday in its entirety,
(15:22):
brilliant move. Brilliant move.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Completely agree. So for people who don't know, the World
Series schedule does not include Sunday games. And that's just
it's a sacrifice of ego. It's the anti guy thing.
It's the we always used to refuse to ask for directions, right,
why are you challenging a fight to an undefeated fighter.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
There was a time, there was a time where the
NFL did not schedule on the opening weekend of the
World Series a Sunday night game. They would not schedule it.
Now we know how the NFL schedules, and so sometimes
what you would get is if you had a seven
game series, there would be a Sunday night game the
next week and when there would be a game seven.
But there was a there was a period of time
when the NFL had a Sunday night game that they
(16:10):
would not schedule it at that point. Granted it also,
I don't think it was on network TV at the time.
I think it was on ESPN or TNT when they
had the package. But yeah, times are different now. Because
there was a game on Sunday, it would be a
wasted opportunity. But the way that it sets up, I
think is is very good.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
No, I'll give you the example. We were playing oklahom
State our first game. It's on November fourth, that's a
week was it a week from next Monday? So two
weeks from today?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
And I really wanted to do it, you know, on
the second, which is but you can't play a game
on the second because they play homecoming. It's now at
six o'clock. Like we could have done Homecoming that day
and it would have been a sellout, it would have
been amazing. Or I said, okay, so let's push it
back to the fifth. But that's election day and we're
not playing election day, so we're doing the fourth. The
(16:55):
reason I didn't want to do it the fourth twofold
one Monday night football, so you're you get pushed out
in chances of doing on ESPN. They have the rights
to that camp first right at first refusal, and then
you have the Thunder play in that night, and like
that takes up a lot of the oxygen and people
from going to the game. So but anyway, and the
(17:15):
point is, like what you don't have to No one
says you have to play on Sundays. It's a very
very smart move, very smart move, Big Apple Sam. You
can speak to this from both because obviously now you're
a Big Apple Sam, but you used to be Iowa Sam.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Maybe one day I can return to Iowa Sam. Maybe
hopefully maybe once the World Series is over.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Maybe maybe in the meantime. What's your level of interest?
Speaker 6 (17:44):
It's high, definitely high. I mean, listen, I live in
the city where one of the teams is playing, so
the you know, the enthusiasm is pretty infectious. And listen,
I do root for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I do.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
It's hard not to and living in this town, so
my interest is high. And yeah, Yankees Dodgers. I think
they had a lot of Dodger fans if they won
this World Series, they'd feel good about, like kind of
getting another one on top of the COVID World Series.
And then when you beat the Yankees in the World
Series and it's like a normal year, that's pretty much
like it tops out there. So I think that, yeah,
(18:19):
I do think the middle of the country will pay attention,
but I think the majority of the eyes are obviously
going to be on the coast. A lot of people
in California are gonna be watching, a lot of people
in the Northeast are gonna be watching.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I'm excited baseball has a chance to be back. A
seven game epic series would be amazing, and obviously you
just hopeful all the stars show out right, But that
was it was good baseball this weekend. Obviously, blowouts in
a couple of those games which took away from it.
(18:49):
But you get the Yankees, you get the Dodgers. It
starts Friday night on Fox.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
What Up, It's Doug ally Shoe Fox Sports Radio. I'm
still like such a good football weekend, such a good one,
Chiefs going to beat the Niners in Santa Clara. Here's
Andy Reed talking about his team's play.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
We got plenty of room to improve on things. Eventually,
guys will start coming back at the thing I appreciate
the most, or guys stepping up and then the other
guys trusting them to step up so and believing in them,
and then the coach is just coaching.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Here's Pat Mahomes talking about his own play, which didn't
throw a touchdown pass a couple interceptions.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
Out through the pick. I don't know if I'll start
up from that at froz Fardo got through my second
pick and kind of hurt our defense there in that situation.
And so we continue to just make strides in the
right direction, but at the same time, we make those
these mistakes, especially me, and so we're winning football games,
which is awesome. We're gonna try to continue to get better.
Was not trying to like lower my sholder. I was
trying to like absorb the hit kind of I was
gonna be right on the end of right there in
the end zone, and that Dad bought man just had
(20:06):
enough weight on me where he went down.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
That's that's pretty funny. That's actually really I had not
heard that clip. Brock Pertty had a miserable Game three pick.
Here's what he had to say about those interceptions.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
I think I just I got to play better, for sure,
just with my throws some decisions, and that's that's pretty simple.
I obviously got to watch the film and stuff, but
my instant reaction has got to play better. The second
interception was on me again. Ronnie did his job. I
thought he just got pemmed up. I didn't know where
he was going to come out on his route, so
I just started putting it on him and then he
ended up breaking out pretty pretty good.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
By the way, Brandon Ayuk appears appears to be lost
for the year. But the thing about the Chiefs is
they just find ways to win games. That's really it.
They just find ways to win games. You know, Pat
Mahomes sots for one fifty four two interceptions, no touchdowns,
five point seven yards per completion, and they find ways
(21:01):
to win games. So impressive. And you know, a fairly
catastrophic injury to the Niners one of the most talented players.
And here we are again with the Niners going you know,
I like brock Purty, but is he good enough? All
Right's Doug Gotlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. Here on behalf
(21:22):
of Kingsford Charcoal is he was an all time great
Texas longhorn. Of course, he was an all pro with
the Kansasity Chiefs. Sees Jamal Charles, He joins us on
the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Jamal, how
are you?
Speaker 9 (21:35):
I'm good?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
How you doing great?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Bar?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
All right, let's let's start with the Horns. What happened Saturday?
Speaker 9 (21:44):
Oh man, It's just that Georgia was a better team
than us, and the guys was the moment. You know
what I'm saying, wasn't ready. They wasn't ready for the moment.
And everybody know that I can't cheer color can he
came here to say, but you know, we just had
to come out and play with like we really want
to be there.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
And you know, there are always going to be people
that are going to blame the officials. Obviously some super
questionable officiating the game. How much did that play a
factor in the final final outcome?
Speaker 9 (22:14):
I think if you play well, I feel like that
the referees don't have nothing to do with the game,
Like you can't blame it on the referees.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You know, Texas obviously last year got to the playoffs.
What is it like to feel like Texas is back
among the nations elite?
Speaker 9 (22:32):
I mean, that's awesome, that's a good. Uh, that's a
good for the State of Texas to definitely uh to
see our horns because everybody always like the big cowboy team.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
But being from.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
Uh Texas, Uh Texas man, State of Texas and going
to University of Texas ain't nothing to Texas, like right
there on top of you just a lot of You
can have a lot of thoughts around that stuff because
you don't want to be in them, you know.
Speaker 9 (22:59):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah, listen, and we all know about the colt.
We don't we don't talk about the colt. There's there's this.
Let's let's get to the Chiefs. Okay. Obviously you're a
part of it for a long time, and you guys
used to run those roadblocks in the playoffs, Pat Mahomes
and this group has broken through. But I thought, like
I thought, yesterday was a perfect example of how this
(23:21):
team just figures out a way to win, right like
he throws a couple of picks. They're not really moving
it offensively through the air, but they just find a way.
How they How are they doing it right? They don't
have star wide receivers, they keep running through running backs,
they bring Kareem Hunt back and yet they still keep winning.
How are they doing this? Jamal?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (23:39):
People understand, Yeah, Pat can be one of the massive pieces,
but everybody understand you gotta have a good coach too.
You got to have a coach like coach and like
everybody understand like coaches and they got to basically two
head coach, a three head coach with a special team
in defense. Uh bag like people do understan Like how
(24:00):
hard to get a coaching airing together and to basically
to to to keep their crew together and have these
players play for your plate for them like people play
for coach injury. It is not like uh he just uh,
he's just a regular coach. He's a great coach.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Okay, you're you're joining us on behalf of kings for charcoal,
So let's let's talk some barbecue, right because you live
in Texas and in Kansas City, all right, So I'm
not gonna put on you put it on you with
like where's the better barbecue capital? But when you're gonna grill,
what do you do? And remember grilling is not barbecuing.
And like if you you put some kings for charcoal
(24:40):
down and you grill a burger, like, that's grilling. That's
not barbecuing.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Are you and I in agreement there?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (24:46):

Dry rub you put sauce on your stuff? What do

Speaker 9 (25:18):
I'm a flavor guy. I like sweet, so put it.
I definitely put soft on mines. I gotta have. I
gotta have rub on it, soft on it everything.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Wait, so you put rubs and sauces.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
I'm a sweet guy.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Okay, I'm sweet, sweet sauce. I feel you, I feel
you sweet. I like dry rubs. I like low and slow,
and I like dry rubs. I'm a I'm a dry
rub guy. That's what. It doesn't matter. If I'll smoke
a chicken, I'll smoke some ribs, I'll smoke some brisket,
I'll smoke some pull pork. I like low and slow,
(25:53):
a ton of rub on it. I'm more salty than sweet,
although occasionally I'll put a little sweet barbecue where then
you can mix it so you can dip the too.
I like more dipping than I don't like to lather
it on.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
I don't like you don't really stuff I'm going, I
like it on it. But they had I had an
opportunity to go down there and barbecue with them with

Speaker 9 (27:26):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
It's Jamal Charles joining us here on the Doug Outleap
Show on Fox Sports Radio. Perfect timing. We have breaking news.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Here's Dan Byer, breaking news from Fox Spord Doug.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
One of the injuries that occurred yesterday the NFL happened
in the Nation's capital, with Jayden Daniels of the Washington
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn saying that Daniels is now
considered week to week with a rib injury not expected
to be super serious. However, they did say that they
want to have caution with this injury. His status for
their Week eight game against the Bears right now up
(28:01):
in the air. So Jade Daniels, who was injured early
in that game against the Panthers, considered week to week
according to the head coach Dan Quinn.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Okay, what a start he's had to his career. And
I got a chance to see obviously Texans versus Packers yesterday. Byer,
when you're working in studio, how much tension? Which game
did you have? Were you're paying most attention to?
Speaker 2 (28:26):
So yeah, so our show doesn't go on into the
late windows, so we have obviously Chiefs Niners was the
big game yesterday. I thought the biggest game actually including
in that late window yesterday was Lions Vikings. But I
had Packers Texans ranked third entering the day in the
importance and intrigue of that matchup. But yeah, quite the game.
(28:48):
I mean the Packers had CJ. Stroud just befuddled throughout
and practically almost gave the game away. I will give
the Texans credit for getting Joe Mixon going.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Yeah, yeah, it was great. One hundred and ten yards.
Why would you jump into the stands to do the
Lambeau leap on the road. There was one Texan fan
I just and like somebody got thrown out for dumping
a beer on him. But then he snuck back and
then they had him back in it. It was almost
like they took him outside and like, don't do that again,
and then he came back in. He was after McManus
kicked the field goal. Then McManus went and jumped in
(29:18):
the stands.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah. Yeah, it happens more often than you would think.
I think there was a game earlier this year where
someone jumped in the stands where there were other there
were fans of that team getting those front row But
we've seen it before. Remember Aaron Jones was talking about
like his return. Maybe that's who it was in jumping in.
But it's not foreign that it's happened. It's actually, I think,
(29:40):
kind of neat. I don't think it's disrespectful to the Packers.
I think it's more of, Hey, I want to be
a part of this.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah, yeah, it's such a cool thing. I wish I
was a part of it. Hey, I'm gonna try it myself.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of like and to make the
Wisconsin connection. When they do jump around at the Wisconsin Games,
you see the other sideline jumping up and down having
a good time as well. Oh that's kind of how
I look at it.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yeah, jumping ju jump around, jump up, jump up and down,
jump jump jump. Uh. It was a really good game,
and it's interesting, right c J. Stroud wasn't particularly good
and he he was kind of seeing ghosts. They put
some pressure on him, which the Packers had struggled with
earlier in the year.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
But and as good as Jordan Love made some unbelievable throws,
he was kind of far of like yesterday, I mean
it was like one of those like uh yeah, leading
the league in touchdowns leading the league interceptions two, and
then their special teams play on punts was just it
was almost comical. Right, they fumbled one when the punt
returners should have caught it, and then he didn't for
(30:42):
whatever reason. Then the next one, he he ran literally
right into where the defense was. Then they switched and
they put Reid back there, and uh uh, he wasn't
particularly good. He caught one it like the four yard
line and it actually the momentum took him in the
end zone, got tackled with like the five where and
(31:02):
it was a little bit windy. It was a really
nice day, Like seventy eight degrees is crazy in the
middle of October. But I don't know, Like I kind
of thought it was punt return one on one, like
put your heels on the ten and if it goes
over your head, you let it go, right, isn't that?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It went usually, I thought, So that was me.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Get Up, Stand Up, Doug Gottlieb Show. Fox Sports Radio.
Let's turn over to Dan Byer. Get to a game.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
This is game time. Game on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Danny B.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
What do you got, Doug?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
The game today is big deal, little deal, no deal.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Big deal, little deal or no deal. That Russell Wilson
of the Steelers to a win over the Jets in
his season debut.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I think it's a little deal. He won. But let's
not act like he set the world on fire. Right,
Nobody's sitting there going like, you know, who's back. Russell's back,
He's good. Jets are a mess. The story of that
game was the Jets are a mess. That's the that's
the real story. You know, the steel has had eight
(32:32):
rushing first downs. They're better on third down. That was
they had more yards, but they had so many more attempts. Uh,
you know because of the turnovers. You're you're up to
two to nine on turnovers. I thought he's efficient, but like,
it's not. It's not. It's not a no deal, but
it's a little deal.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Big deal, little deal or no deal. That Aaron Rodgers
and the Jets lost in the New York debut for
DeVante Adams.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Well, also, he didn't get the ball and didn't really
do much in the second half. So I think that's
a big deal. You know, it did look like more
of the same in that just because you brought in
a different player, the Jets still looked a bit dysfunctional.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
It's funny because in just this team is not two
and five, they are three games back of Buffalo, and
Buffalo right now has a win over them from last week.
Just not it's all self induced as well. None of
this is just like ah, bad luck. It's yeah, it's
(33:34):
all self induced, which makes it that much more interesting.
All right, Doug, big deal, A little deal of no
deal that Bill Belichick disagreed with Patriots head coaches Drod
Mayo's assessment that Mayo's defense was soft. Belichick making the
comments on the Pat McAfee show sticking up for I
guess as former players.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I think it is kind of a big deal. Like
obviously there's a little bit of a disconnect there if
you've paid attention to where Mayo was kind of trying
to charge his own path. I would also say that
Belichick would never, as much as he was hard to
pull things out of at press conferences, he was never
(34:17):
he was never really super super critical of his own team.
Just wasn't He just wouldn't say anything. So I do
think there's a world where Mayo, because you know, like
Bill self, will do this with his team every year
where he'll say, Hill, they're soft to start the year,
and sometimes they are, but they can't play for him
if they're soft. So sometimes it's kind of a manipulation
(34:37):
of your players by saying that, and maybe that's what
he meant by it. But I do think it's a
big deal for the longtime former head coach of the Patriots,
who the current head coach worked under to disagree with
them on National TV.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
I agree with Mayo considering they ruined my unbeaten gambler
streak this past weekend. Ah, those Patriots, I should have learned.
Big deal, little dealer, no deal, Doug that Colt said.
Coach Sheen Steiken took responsibility for Anthony Richardson's performance against
the Dolphins. It was a win, but he went ten
to twenty four for one hundred and twenty nine yards.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Um, what's the big deal, A little deal or no deal?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
That Shane Steichen is the one who took responsibility, saying
that he didn't see much out there for Richardson to
do much. He's got to do better provide them better
opportunities to get guys open. Let's me paraphrasing, that's.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
A little deal, a smart deal. You know, he's right.
I mean they it was a lot like how the
Packers played against the Colts, where like, let's not throw it.
We don't have to because he can't. But that's also
protecting your young quarterback who's clearly on some levels of struggling.
I don't think anybody would argue with that.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
More quarterbacking news, big deal, little deal or no deal
that Brian Dabole is sticking with Daniel Jones as the
Giant starting quarterback.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
M that is, that's a little deal. You know, he's
played well this season at times. Obviously this is going
to be the last year for him unless he plays way, way, way,
way way better. But I think it's a little deal
because he's had some good games so far to start
(36:16):
the season.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Finally, Doug, big deal, little deal or no deal that
Vanderbilt is ranked for the first time in college football
since twenty thirteen. Commodore is coming in at number twenty
five in this week's AP Top twenty five pole.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
It's a big deal in this environment, in that league
to get in the top twenty five. It's a big deal,
really really big deal.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Vanderbilt in the top twenty five. Michigan dropped out South Carolina,
Nebraska receiving votes. Those are just some of the Nicks
in They got one vote that is correct.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
That was a shell lacking.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Indiana only moved up three spots, up to number thirteen.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Well, I mean, like, look, I get how the AP voters.
It's the same thing as Heisman voters. Like you get
these people that they they cover a team, right, So
if I go cover a team, I can't watch the game.
If you watch that game Nebraska Indiana, You're like, there's
just how could you possibly rank Nebraska after that? How
(37:22):
could you not move Indiana? They looked really good.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I agree with you. Texas, by the way, and the
rankings only dropped a fifth. I say, home loss to Georgia,
I know, not the worst loss in the world, but
I thought maybe they would fall a little bit further.
Miami six at seven and O Tennessee, what is there?
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Here's the question, like, what is their big what is
Texas's big win this year? Now? Look, Miami is sitting
behind them, and Miami should have been beaten twice Yeah,
but who'd they beat?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah, eh, doesn't Eh. Hey, they got a chance to
beat Vanderbilt this weekend. They did. To add to the resume.
Speaker 6 (37:59):
There anchors down, anchors away, whatever it is, anchors down.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I think, yeah, that's anchor down. Game time, game.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
This is game time on The Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
That league is ridiculous. That league is so good. It's
just it's just absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
By the way, we have we talked about the Tony
Bennett th When do we talk about the Tony Bennett thing.
I'm trying to think we spend any time a little bit. Friday.
Got some more kind of info for you, Share that
with you next hour plus coming up next to the
tyrat dot Com The Doug gotleaphild Life from the tyrack
