Hope you had a great weekend. Uh, we do this
(00:48):
every Monday. Every Monday, we'd like to recap the weekend.
We find something and we all have our our things
we're paying attention to, right like obviously this weekend I
was locked in on college hoops. I don't know what
Sam was locked in on. Maybe maybe women's college hoops.
Not not actually sure with Texas being the new number one,
uh Jay Stu probably pictures and catchers, maybe a little
(01:11):
bit of Lakers. And then there's a chance that Dan,
it's something golf, it's just a chance golf, or you know,
it could could be something. But we find something we
loved from the weekend, find something we hate from the weekend.
We call it love and hate.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What did you love?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
God?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I love you and what did you hate?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Meet these Claire hay is Ah love love, love a hate? Hate?
Do do Do Do Do? What'd you love from the weekend?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Danbyre Doug What I love from the weekend?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I shared with you And it was a tweet sent
out by Rob DFB. And Rob is a professional sports
better tied in a Hawkeyes fan and i Iowa Hawkeyes fan.
But he sent a tweet that just made me laugh
(02:06):
and made so many people laugh except Iowa Sam and
the Hawkeye fan base. But the point is, and I've
retweeted it at Dan Byron Fox if you want to see.
It was basically pointing out that there was a line
up between Iowa and Washington where he had five white
guys on the court for Iowa, five black guys on
the court in Washington with Washington, and it's not about
(02:29):
it's not about race. It's not meant to be racial
or divide. It's all about comedy and the delivery, and
sometimes with Twitter and or ex and social media, it's
very difficult to provide that. But I felt that this
just was knocked out of the park because of the highlight,
because of everything that came with it. Yes, the call
(02:51):
was called a charge on the court, Iowa ends up
winning the game. All of that doesn't matter. You can
read all of Iowa fans for some reason taking offense
to this in the comments. It's just comedy. It's not
meant to be about basketball or or race or anything.
It was just funny and I got a kick out
(03:12):
of it, and so did two thousand others. It had
three point three million views over the weekend, and I
just it gave me a very very hearty chuckle when
I saw the tweet.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I loved it. I loved it.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
That's the audio of Dan Byer laughing at this tweet.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yes, Oh, this is Isla Sam's defense mechanism because he cannot,
for some reason find the humor in it because it
happened to Iowa.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
So now he's going to use drops just like he.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Would do with the drum, the rim shot and the
fake laugh, like he just can't stay out of it.
He's got to he's got to put his finger puts.
I just listen you. You thought it was I did
so exclusive audio you laughing. So Jason, well, I don't know.
No one responded to just it was just me and
you going back and forth. So I don't know. I
(04:02):
guess Jason says he found it funny, but.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
No, Doug found it funny too. Most people did. I
to not find it funny. I think just shows that
you're pretty humorless. And I will say this about Dan's commentary.
There is a whole new group of people that do
comedy really well on Twitter, Like there are just some
accounts that just know how to do it, know how
to do it well. And I'm gonna I'm gonna admit this,
(04:27):
Antonio Brown does it really well.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Now.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
A lot of his material is way over the top
and would get anyone canceled in a former time Antonio
Brown's Twitter writer, I don't know if it's him or
whatever somebody else. He could be really funny. I do
recommend the follow up.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
You think that guy brings the material to AB AND's like,
what do you think about this? He's like Conan O'Brien
and like a pre show meeting, like strumming his guitar. Yeah,
I like that. No, I don't like that post other thing. Yeah,
I don't know, all right, but no it doesn't go
get it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Else.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
What about you there, Jase dou.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I saw this and I'm gonna go ahead and promote
my Twitter account now. At the top of my Twitter
feed as our listeners are going through the show's Twitter feeds,
At the top of my Twitter feed is a video
from the weekend. I if you've listened to me at all,
I've been a massive proponent of ABS for years now,
and I've been frustrated at Baseball's slowness deliberateness towards incorporating
(05:34):
ABS into their game. Well, major League Baseball is throwing
us a bone, and they're during spring training. They're doing
the ABS challenge thing. And for those that don't know ABS,
it's they could challenge balls and strikes now and it
goes to that computer rized strike zone and if it
wasn't in the strike zone, they call it a ball
and otherwise a strike. Well, they have this pitch by
(05:58):
Dylan Cees in a game against the Dog and I
think it's Pahz who's batting. He takes a pitch that
is way high and the umpire rings him out. And
what's great about is that the Empire doesn't just ring him,
you know out. He does this real dramatics strike call
like I just nailed you. Take a seat on the bench.
(06:18):
Pa Hees challenges it. They go to the screen and
it's a good like six inches high. So I think
this is one of the great things about ABS when
they do incorporate it, is it's gonna make umpires look
really foolish for their eyesight and their dramatics. I need
the umpires to be more humbled and this will only
(06:40):
do that.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah, I also will say with this I'm on the
ABS format. It brings drama like it would in tennis
on challenging a call by cyclops and the drama of
finding if the ball is in or out.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
There is something to that.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
There's there's drama that actually brought to the at bat
and there is the other point. And I'm sure that
this is going to be something talked about for years
and years. Monzi brought it up yesterday and our Sunday show.
But if you have just like a sliver of the
ball touching the strike zone at the end that it's
called the strike It's kind of like one of those
capture where you have to log in and find the
(07:19):
how many motorcycles are in the picture or what portion
is showing a street light. That's kind of what the
balls and the ABS system provides. And I actually think
it's been entertaining TV. When it actually pops up.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I'm going to I'd like this tweet by Sam Decker.
Sam Decker, who is a friend of course Fantasy, a
star basketball player at the university's contemplating the NBA now
playing overseas. I saw this tweet from him today. Sports
media is in such a weird place. The Lakers lose
three games with Luca and its immediate panic and I
(07:55):
told you so. Then they beat the Nuggets in one game,
and now they're a championship favorite on every network. Is
this what we're doing, Sam? Yes, Yes, Yes, that's apparently
what we're doing. And it's so weird. Uh my favorite
thing I see on Twitter. Let's get to what we
hated again.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I love here, Sam. This does play off of Dan's
h aforementioned of viral moment the Washington Center Frank kept
nag dunking on Iowa. The basket of course didn't count.
But listen, Dan, I do see the humor in it.
I do, and I admitted that much to you, uh
here today, But listen, in the moment, it was really
(08:39):
fired up both teams, and uh it was it was
like sort of it was like, you know, the the humorous,
the physicality. That dunk really fired up Washington and then
Iowa was just like, we can't be had like that.
And I think that that fired them up. And thankfully
Iowa survived sort of that momentum shift there. They had
been kind of trailing game and they won the game,
(09:02):
and they avoid sitting in the basement in the cellar
of the Big ten.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
And that's what makes the comedy about it that much
more special and that much more unique, because to your point,
when you were watching the game, I was not.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
It seemed to be a pretty big turning point in
the game.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
But someone who was smart enough out there looked at
that from a different angle and was able to turn
it into something funny, and then on top of it
presented in a way that it even highlighted the comedy
even more. Now, I'm not a comed comedy officionado. I
don't want to say I'm an expert, but it was
just so well done and to your point of everybody
of Iowa going crazy may have changed the momentum of
(09:39):
the game. Washington may have been ticked off. Someone found
something funny about it and it made it go viral,
and that's what was so awesome about it.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, fun Yeah, Okay, I can admit it. It's okay.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And I love that they that they avoided that they
avoided it letting him get him down.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So that that's let's let's get to what we hated
from the weekend is the most changes a resident hater is,
of course, other than Jason Stewart Jays.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Two guys, I'm gonna come at you from a different
angle today. And I do apologize to anybody listening right
now who is a part of the Academy because this
is gonna come off as hostile. I saw a movie
on Saturday, and I know, Doug, you would actually really
appreciate it. Obviously. It's called The Brutalist. It's a Oscar
(10:24):
nominated movie. It was the favorite to win Best Picture
as an Oscar nominated movie. It's about a Jewish immigrant
and his family coming over after World War Two. Very serious,
obviously heavy, heavy undertones, but it was brilliantly made and
one of the best movies I've seen in a long time,
(10:45):
The Brutalist starring Adrian Brody. So I'm watching the SAG
Awards last night. I watch a lot of the post
you know, the award season award shows, and guess what
movie was left out of the SAG Award winners again?
This is This is a movie that's very favored to
win the awards. It's critically acclaimed. I loved it, and
(11:07):
the SAG Awards gave it a zero. It got a
donut last night. And here's why. If you google The
Brutalist and AI. There's been some controversy and I guess
the filmmakers used AI to to make the Hungarian accents
of the actors sound a little bit more Hungarian. That
(11:31):
has completely offended the Academy that they're taking jobs away
from actors or editors or sound people and they're including AI.
And in response to that, they are threatening to not
give this movie awards. So Adrian Brody, who was supposed
(11:51):
to win Best Actor last night for the SAG lost
to Timothy shamalay shalam.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
What did you say?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Very frustrating? So again I'm a film snob. I think
Doug and I went to the mat a couple of
years ago when I said that I didn't think Top
Gun raised was to the level of a Best Picture nominee,
and Doug's like, it was a good movie. We all
loved it. Why shouldn't it. I don't think so. I
think there's a certain standard that the oscars have and
(12:25):
I call bs on this latest move.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Uh, in fairness, it wasn't Top Gun, and never said
Top Gun should be. I don't believe I said Top
Gun should be Best Picture.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
No, no, you no. You said that Maverick should be
one of the ten movies considered for Best Picture. Sure,
and I was annoyed that they were even considered.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Okay, what is that movie called that? My daughter suggested,
it's got Demi Moore in it.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
The substance.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
The substance, yes, substance.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yeah. I hated it. It was awful. Oh oh as
I could, I just it was. I did not like
it at all.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Sam told me he was going to watch it this weekend,
and I said, the third act is utterly offensive. It's
out it's it's meant to shock, but it shocked me
too much to while I was looking away from the TV.
And I don't think you want to do that if
you're a filmmaker. Didn't you hate the last like forty minutes, Doug?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I hated most of it, to be honest with but
the last forty minutes especially.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
So I think I have to see this movie now.
I mean, I was gonna watch it anyway, but like
Jason was, kind of you're one.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Of those people that somebody bites into something and goes like, oh,
this is terrible. Here try it well.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Jason liked the first two thirds of the film and
was very put off by the controversial final third Stanza,
And now you're saying, oh, I hated it, So now
I'm very intrigued, and so I gotta watch it. I
just gotta.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
She won last night.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
By the way, don't mean Moore, Do you say demi
or do you say to me?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
I say demi?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I do two?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I do both, to be honest.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Uh damn fire what japen weekend?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Oh, I'll tell you what. I did not like this
on Saturday. On Sunday, excuse me. It bothered me and
I am I'm not afraid to name names. Ian Rapaport's
tweet announcing that Shador Sanders was not going to take
part in activities at the Combine was just so unnecessary
and over the top. It's so unnecessary. I'm going to
(14:27):
read you not one but two tweets announcing the news.
This three forty two Eastern time yesterday, Colorado quarterback and
potential top pick Shador Sanders plans to focus on his
interviews with teams at the NFL Scouting Combine, helping them
continue to learn him as a person. He'll allow his
(14:49):
four years of film to speak loudly, then throw at
his pro day with four draftable SeeU wide receivers. It
was then followed up by a quote tweet by Rapaport
on x saying Shaudor Sanders has impressed teams with his presence,
poise and intelligence off the field and that should continue
(15:10):
in Indie. No one else got that treatment, no one.
What we get is guess what Ashton Genty is not
working out at the combine. If Duel Carter has a
shoulder injury, he's not working out at the Combine. He'll
work out at his pro day. This over the top
and I just think it's kissing up to Dion, like
(15:31):
that's what I think that it is. I have no
idea on who else would be like appeased by this.
But it was so over the top, Engross, it was
actually so bad. Awful announcing, who sometimes writes awful articles,
actually wrote an article about this, and so it was
just yeah, it was so over the top.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
It was so bad.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I can't believe that it was actually allowed to be
written and then followed up with a quote retweets or
quote tweets from X by Ian Rappaport.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
That's going anybody any more gripes?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Yeah, yeah, go ahead, Doug. I hate Horizon League buses
catching on fire. Do you guys see this?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I did?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I mean, listen, I know you guys are mid major,
but you deserve better. You don't listen. You're not low major,
you're mid major, so don't be loading up those guys
in the Lemon the Lemon bus and then it catches
on fire. That was scary. So we saw IU Indy
coming back from their their road trip. They're lost to
northern Kentucky and this fire breaks out on a bus
(16:36):
and all the guys got out safely, thankfully, but man,
this thing was charred. So I hate exploding Horizon League buses,
that's all I got.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Ye know, it's interesting we take you know, I see
you on the.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Buses all the time, Doug, that's all.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah. Well we fly places on these little charters, which
are cool, and then we're in these coach buses. Man,
the coach bus is so much nice as they used
to be. They're really, I'm sure. And that one that
caught on fire, I gotta find out. I gotta call
their coach.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I mean it, yeah, they said it was I'm just
kind of what riffing here is. That was a mechanical issue.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
And you know, but they lost their uniforms and everything.
M three games left right three to you know, six games.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
They lost their jerseys, no jerseys.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Well that set of jersey wouldn't bring all of your jerseys,
but still you lose the set of jerseys.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
You're they're gonna have to play in those stinky rec league.
You know, those those mesh jerseys from from.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Pe class I mean the practice jerseys, practice jerseys that
smells practice jerseys, and.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Live Stut Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio. Okay,
so Matt Stafford has been given the ability to find
a trade partner. So like, hey, he wants a new contract,
and we're fine with that. We're moving on. And it's
(18:08):
very The Stafford thing is fascinating, right because remember last
year this time it was with Stafford retire. That was
like the last two years it was with Stafford retire.
Now Staffy wants to keep playing, but he wants a
new contract. I asked Fourer Bucks GM Mark Dominick, he
joins the show every week about Aaron Rodgers, and he
had this to say, I've.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Been saying it for almost a month now that all
eyes should be watching what happens to me in LA
with the rams, you know, with Matt Stafford and that negotiations,
does that come together, does it fall apart? And if
it falls apart, like there's been whispers and the numbers
that could be. I think that he would love to
play in the West Coast cent He loved to play
for Sean McVay and I think Sean McVay would say, hey,
(18:48):
look not to have the quarterback of the future, but
at least we've got a quarterback for twenty twenty five
and we're good shape. It's can be less expensive than
what Ma's going to ask for and how long we're
going to tie into Matt Stafford. I think that's a possibilit.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I think it is too. And you look at the
offense he was in in Green Bay, and he can
say what he liked or didn't like it, wont MVP
in it. It's the same offense. He knows that there's
not a ton of new verbiage whatever. And he didn't
look very good for about the first two thirds to
almost three quarters of the year, but he started to
come on late. And remember like when you have the
(19:21):
Achilles ten and it takes you a while, Dan Byer,
would you if you're the Rams and it's relatively on
the cheap, would you take a swing at Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yeah, there'd have to be a lot of factors. I'd
be apprehensive on it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
What are your factors?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Well, it would just be who else is available and
what you would be able to do? I would and
who would want what like, is Sam Darnold still going
to be searching for a big contract? How long would
that contract be? How much the Aaron Rodgers thing? You're
higher on him than I am. His numbers were better
(20:00):
than I even remembered from this past season, So like
stat wise and numbers wise, it wasn't as much of
a wash as I.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Originally thought that it was.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
But I just don't know for a forty one year
old guy, when you're trying to go to bigger heights,
I don't know how you would work in the locker room.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I would have those questions as well.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, but do we think like and I've noticed Stafford
a little bit, right, do we think Stafford at his
age is really super interactive in the locker room?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
No, but I don't think I don't think he needs
to be interactive. But I mean, is it is.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
It it's about Aaron Beans so aloof.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yes, by many accounts, apparently players like them. Maybe that's
you know that, Maybe that's a misjudgment by me, but no,
I would just.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Think it's I think it's the judgment by a lot
of people. I don't think that's by you. And but
the one point that you did point out, which is
the only thing that really matters is the players at
locker room right and the coaches. Like, if they're all
all about it, then it doesn't matter. But if they're not,
now we have an issue. Now I have an issue.
Jay Stu, you on your tombstone? You want uh? What
(21:13):
did you say he wanted? He searched, He seeks for
the opposite of BS.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
He spent his wife searching for whatever the opposite of
BS is.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Okay, So you become a fan of Aaron Rodgers because
whether his his beliefs are right or flawed, at least
he's saying what he believes it right and he's giving
what he believes to be the truth. Would you be
all for him playing for the Rams?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I would. I really like that pairing, it just just
on the surface, because I'm also of the belief to
that Sean McVay is not going to coach, He's not
going to be one of these wifers. And I actually
thought maybe even this offseason, if Stafford doesn't work out,
maybe maybe McVeigh calls the quits. I think McVeigh is
(21:57):
kind of a short term guy, and I think like
a one or two year contract with one of the
best quarterbacks ever. That would make for some great like theater.
I think all parties involved would be up for that.
And you know, as you're watching this Aaron Rodgers documentary,
I don't know what's on Netflix or whatever, so many
(22:19):
scenes are like from his balcony and Maui, and he
talks about Los Angeles a lot. That TMZ video the
other day was just him walking out of a some
kind of a what do you call that workout center
in Los Angeles. Sure, it just seems like a good
fit to me. And I don't know why I like
it so much, but I do.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I like it as well. I like it because we've
heard Colin say that he needs a third act. You remember,
FARV was good in New York until he heard his
biceps and tried to play through it and then it
was awful. But in Minnesota the year before it finally
came to an end, it was it was very good.
You know. Even Joe Montana had that second act with
(22:59):
the Chiefs whether they went to the AFC Championhip game.
You know, So could he walk away? Yeah, I just
don't think he wants to. And I just look at
at Sean McVay as the best, Like, you know, he's
give him eleven and then switch switched to eleven's at halftime. Whatever,
he'll beat you, or give him your fifty three and
he'll switch at halftime. I think for Aaron, he needs
(23:21):
somebody who he knows the system, but also he trusts
that's good at their job, because it remembers some of
his comments about last year in terms of accountability and
that being lacking with the Jets, and I'm sure McVeagh
is not that way at all, Sam, What do you think.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I'm with Jason here. I liked the pairing. I didn't
really give a lot of thought to Rogers being on
the RAMS. But if you were going to move off
of Stafford and bringing Rogers, yes, I think that there'd
be more mutual respect between Rogers and McVeigh, maybe because
you know, I mcveigh's looked at as a you know,
a very offensive skill, offensively skilled coordinator and yeah, guru,
(23:58):
and maybe that that respect wasn't there with Robert Sala
in New York. So like Rogers can look at McVeigh
and be like, this guy is gonna set me up
in the best position to win. I think it's actually
is a really fun pairing. And maybe, yes, me and
Jason are more high on Rogers than Dan is, but
I like it. I like it if it happened.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You know, Look, Dan will tell you that I was
the biggest Rogers fan and you know Fox Sports Radio
history up until a couple of years ago. And it
doesn't mean i've and I was. I thought, I felt
like I've been a fair critique of him, fair critic
of him, offered critique, fair fair critic of him, and
there was plenty of critique for the first half of
(24:37):
the season. He wasn't great the second, but is much better.
Definitely settled in. So remember the boxes you have to check.
I believe for an order quarterback, you gotta play indoors.
Gotta play indoors. I mean, Denver is the only other option.
They don't need a quarterback. Gotta play indoors.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Stat Wise, again, he actually matches up with Matthew sti Afford.
Stafford had a higher rating. Rogers threw for more touchdowns.
I don't think that's an important stat but yardage wise,
it was closer than you'd think. Rogers actually has a
slight edge, but Stafford played in one fewer game and
just looking at Aaron Rodgers' game log again and just
trying to refresh all my memory from this past season.
(25:19):
What is interesting are the teams where he had great
success against, and that's passer ratings over one hundred. And
those games are against the Dolphins twice, the Jaguars, the Colts,
of the Patriots, the Texans on that Thursday night game,
and then also against New England.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Okay, so one playoff team among them.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yeah, against Buffalo ed one that was ninety nine, but
on the flip side of one that was forty four
rams around ninety one. Just in the higher against Pittsburgh
passed the rating of seventy again earlier in the season,
So I'll give you guys that that maybe later on
things were able to be adjusted. I just I don't
(25:59):
know how much is left there. And for Rogers, if
Rodgers wants to come in and blend in and and
with a team that likes to run the ball. We
know how much they use Karen Williams, and when they
drafted Blake Korham last year, you've got another young guy
that can tout the rock. If they say, I just
don't know if it's in Rogers DNA to not have
control and just kind of go with the flow and
(26:21):
and do what he can. Maybe he is at that point,
maybe he's so mellowed out after everything else that he's
willing to do that. I just don't know if that's
in his you know, in his DNA, if you will.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
It's there's also the possibility that, yeah, I don't know
if it's his DNA, but it's that he actually trusts
the system, in trust McVeigh and he you know, and
he thinks, but I know the system, I know when
I could break off of it and kind of do
my own thing. But he also look, he saw a
ton of success with that with La Floor, like that
system that's the that's say, the same system as the Floor,
(26:53):
and he has kind of the same skill set. Now
really is what Stafford has, right he is. The thing
that's right him from Stafford in the past was his mobility.
Now he's not nearly his mobile And so they're sort
of the same. Guy like I like it. And then
obviously you draft a younger guy as well and try
and develop him and maybe somebody who's outside of the
(27:14):
first round. Yeah, they can eventually get value of if
Aaron Rodgers retires at the end of the season.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Yeah, it is so funny because you're right about Rodgers' mobility.
It was a true weapon for a majority of his
career of him being able to move and on third
downs being able to move. And he was plus a
guy who wouldn't throw the ball into harm's way a lot.
It's why you'd get low interception numbers. And then so
when he would throw interceptions on bad throws, you'd be like, where.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
The heck did that come from?
Speaker 7 (27:38):
There?
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Yeah, But to your point about the mobility, it's funny
because I just I just remember the games of watching
Aaron Rodgers this year, and he just looked so stiff
in the pocket. And I'm not even talking about, you know,
scampering for a twelve yard gain here or there.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Stafford really didn't do it at all this year to
that point.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
But he just actually looks more comfortable in the pocket
than Rogers actually league did, because Rogers just looks so stiff.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, neither don't want to get hit. I mean, not
that anybody wants to get hit, but neither of them
at that their age want to get hit at all.
That that's the one problem with those older quarterbacks. With
a couple hundred million in the bank.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
I got to give some credit though to our guy
Mark Dominic. You know, I think he's exclusive to us.
He does our show, and I know he does serious
exund but like he has been way out in front
of this one. He has been saying it for weeks,
like so, I don't know if he if someone higher
up in the RAMS organization, if he's talking to Sam
Sneader or west Steed. I don't think he's talking to
(28:34):
Sam Sneaed, but he's been out in front of this.
I kind of want it to happen so that we
could give him his flowers, because he was like the
one guy saying it. And then over the weekend, Dan
says to me this Florio article where there was an
anonymous former front office executive as as kind of the.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Coldest, the anonymous anonymous one as well.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
That's what I thought, That's what I thought that Florio
just didn't want to reveal it. And here Dominic has
been saying as much over the last few weeks. And
then that sound body said over the last month, he's
even been saying it.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
It's the Doug Gottlieb Show. It's Fox Sports Radio. It's
coming to you from the tireg dot com Studios. God
of a chill Monday. Huh, beautiful weather in the West
coast Southwest, warm even here in Green Bay, Wisconsin. But
I hit fifty degrees today, snow is melting. Get a
little slushy, wet, soggy for the winter.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Yes, ses Sam, It's going to be ninety three degrees
in the valley, the San Fernando Valley here on Wednesday,
ninety three in February. That's awesome, No that I like it.
In the sixties, and seventies.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Said nobody ever ever You.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Want ninety three in February. Yeah, well I get it.
You live in Green Bay, so it gets Yeah, different.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Hill for ninety ninety three, be amazing.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
I want just sixty three. That's a nice compromise.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Sixth Are you still not that? I mean it feel
really good to hear. But like eighty three is idea,
I would prefer ninety three to sixty three. Obviously eighty
three between seventy seven and eighty three is is is prime,
but ninety three is nice.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Temperature haggling on the Doug Gottley Show.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yes, yes, let's get to the press, the press. What
do you got there, Dan Buyer, Doug.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Normally we don't start out the press with the correction,
but I feel that it is necessary. The high in
Sherman Oaks on Wednesday is eighty two degrees, so it
is not a marine to who that's according to weather
dot com.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Well, I go with weather dot Gov, which is the NOAA,
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Canamics Administration.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
They say it's gonna be ninety three. I don't see
anywhere that on my phone. I looked at the temperature.
It just doesn't I know it's going to get a
little warmer, and it's it's nice today, it's seventy nine.
I don't see nineties anywhere.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
I think that there are what do they call those people,
climate deniers. I think Sam is a weather denier.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
I'm looking just okay, weather it's curator, Okay, I'm just
looking at weather dot gov. That's where I use my
I don't use I don't use the Weather Channel app
or all that because I feel like the actually government
would number lie to us. Well, these people are scientists.
They're not here to manipulate the weather. They're here to
tell you the weather. And on Wednesday they saying ninety
and Thursday saying ninety one.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
So don't you think the Weather Channel would benefit more
from saying it's gonna be ninety three because people are
then like, well, I'm going to tune in because it's
supposed to be super hot.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I actually find the Weather Channel app, the one that's
like just automatically installed on your iPhone to be incredibly inaccurate.
A lot of the time I go with weather doc V.
I compare them all the time.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
You said this last week too, and I'm like gosh,
I didn't. I looked on my I looked on my phone,
and I'm like, I don't think it's supposed to be
that hot out here. So Doug, I don't know if he's,
you know, passing along false information, but you're responsible.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I'm just saying another website is saying it's gonna be
a little warmer may website, well, a website, well, these
these are the people that are like, actually know what
they're doing. I think just saying they will haggle on
the tamp. We'll say it's gonna be like eighty six.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Underground weather underground, another popular one high of eighty two.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I don't know where you get this ninety three, just
looking at it right now and.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Missing it by nine ten degrees, eleven degrees, Lot bud.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Well, Yeah, because it's supposed to be a cool, cooler
weekend highs in the upper sixties here.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Highs in the upper sixties. I'm high above the four
h five, and I can see that Sam is completely
inflating his weathers.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
We'll see, we'll see you back Wednesday. We'll see on
Wednesday and Thursday how high we get, all right? Tom
Izzo on his high horse, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
The Michigan State head coach recently talking about earning playing
time in college basketball. This was something that we didn't
get to in the show. So let's hear from the
coach now in the press.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
You play real good, you start, you don't play, it's good,
you work your way back in. It's the American way,
except the America has gotten soft. But there is the
American way. That's the way it works. And so I
apologize to nobody for that.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Those from a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah, I mean, look, wait, I did my team. If
you look at my lineups, there have been some players recently,
we feel like we're playing our best basketball, and some
of the younger guys earned more minutes. Some of the
guys are in less minutes. But you know, sports are
supposed to be meritocracy. I think what he means. What
he means is, you know, so many of these players
(34:14):
who if they're in a transfer portal or you're recruiting them,
they want to be promised a certain number of minutes
or hey, promise you, I'm going to start, coach, and
it's not going to play that. He's going to do
it his way. But anytime anytime you say we used
to be tougher back in the day, you win the
hearts and minds of people like Jason Stewart, who insists
that the nineteen eighties and nineties were the greatest times
(34:36):
ever on earth.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
You get heckled at all in Youngstown or one guy,
I was having discussion with the ref about a play
and it was just Youngstown was actually the nicest they were.
It was a good crowd, the nicest of them. One
guy was like, stop your whining.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
But that's just that's nothing. Nothing. Robert Morris, I had
the like gool to your podcast, and then other guys
like I like his podcasts, pretty funny, my guys, we're dying,
oh about to your radio show. I like his radio
shows like it was like Heckle and Jacky.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Do you hate it when people write podcaster Doug Gottlieb
is also a coach.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Like completely discrediting the host, not that they're.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
National sports radio dude. That's been my life for twenty
three years.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
That's that's the point about it. And I didn't mean
to discredit any podcasters, but it's just the point of yours.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Anybody could be a podcaster.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yes you did, yes you did. Anybody could be a podcaster, now,
anybody could be a good podcaster, and Iheart's the iHeart
Radio app has the best podcast including Okay, I Want
your Flex at standos, Dare you Go? My All Ball
podcast is basketball, and then of course the Doug Gottlieb
Show podcast in the bonus as well. Anybody can be
a podcaster, but only select few KO National Summer prodcasters.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
If you ask me, oh, oh burn when you get
hey broadcasting proadcaster boo, I still get burned on Wednesday
where sunscreen or Sam says it's going to be ninety
three here in the valve.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Hey, hey, what's the deal with that? Do you want
that comment? That's gonna hit us? Asteroid's gonna hit us
now it's like up to like three percent in twenty
thirty two. Well, you said Bruce Willis in a spaceship.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Maybe that's what's coming our way with those hot tempts,
a hot meteor on the way.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
It's not gonna be Bruce Willis. We shouldn't send him
right now. We should probably find someone who's an astronaut.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Yes, uh, they do have you could you could try
to nudge it. There is something that you could do
to try to send it off course. Broncos linebackers coach
Michael Wilhoyd and court facing charges of second degree south
of a police officer. The police report says that will
Hoyd punched an officer after an argument over his unattended
car at the Denver International Airport. The officer told him
(36:59):
to move the via co multiple times. Will Hoit, according
to the report, bumped him in his chest. The officer
pushed back, then will Hoy punched him and again, facing
second degree assault of a police officer.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Uh. Yeah, you're going to jail, buddy for a long time.
Just at what point in time do you see a
police officusly like I can take him.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
I just hate the people who park like four lanes
out from the curb and are just like and block
it for everybody. Yeah, and that's what I think probably happened, probably,
And that's the press.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
May get out there and pressed.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
That was the press.

Hope you had a great weekend. Uh, we do this
(00:48):
every Monday. Every Monday, we'd like to recap the weekend.
We find something and we all have our our things
we're paying attention to, right like obviously this weekend I
was locked in on college hoops. I don't know what
Sam was locked in on. Maybe maybe women's college hoops.
Not not actually sure with Texas being the new number one,
uh Jay Stu probably pictures and catchers, maybe a little
(01:11):
bit of Lakers. And then there's a chance that Dan,
it's something golf, it's just a chance golf, or you know,
it could could be something. But we find something we
loved from the weekend, find something we hate from the weekend.
We call it love and hate.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What did you love?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
God?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I love you and what did you hate?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Meet these Claire hay is Ah love love, love a hate? Hate?
Do do Do Do Do? What'd you love from the weekend?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Danbyre Doug What I love from the weekend?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I shared with you And it was a tweet sent
out by Rob DFB. And Rob is a professional sports
better tied in a Hawkeyes fan and i Iowa Hawkeyes fan.
But he sent a tweet that just made me laugh
(02:06):
and made so many people laugh except Iowa Sam and
the Hawkeye fan base. But the point is, and I've
retweeted it at Dan Byron Fox if you want to see.
It was basically pointing out that there was a line
up between Iowa and Washington where he had five white
guys on the court for Iowa, five black guys on
the court in Washington with Washington, and it's not about
(02:29):
it's not about race. It's not meant to be racial
or divide. It's all about comedy and the delivery, and
sometimes with Twitter and or ex and social media, it's
very difficult to provide that. But I felt that this
just was knocked out of the park because of the highlight,
because of everything that came with it. Yes, the call
(02:51):
was called a charge on the court, Iowa ends up
winning the game. All of that doesn't matter. You can
read all of Iowa fans for some reason taking offense
to this in the comments. It's just comedy. It's not
meant to be about basketball or or race or anything.
It was just funny and I got a kick out
(03:12):
of it, and so did two thousand others. It had
three point three million views over the weekend, and I
just it gave me a very very hearty chuckle when
I saw the tweet.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I loved it. I loved it.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
That's the audio of Dan Byer laughing at this tweet.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yes, Oh, this is Isla Sam's defense mechanism because he cannot,
for some reason find the humor in it because it
happened to Iowa.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
So now he's going to use drops just like he.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Would do with the drum, the rim shot and the
fake laugh, like he just can't stay out of it.
He's got to he's got to put his finger puts.
I just listen you. You thought it was I did
so exclusive audio you laughing. So Jason, well, I don't know.
No one responded to just it was just me and
you going back and forth. So I don't know. I
(04:02):
guess Jason says he found it funny, but.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
No, Doug found it funny too. Most people did. I
to not find it funny. I think just shows that
you're pretty humorless. And I will say this about Dan's commentary.
There is a whole new group of people that do
comedy really well on Twitter, Like there are just some
accounts that just know how to do it, know how
to do it well. And I'm gonna I'm gonna admit this,
(04:27):
Antonio Brown does it really well.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Now.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
A lot of his material is way over the top
and would get anyone canceled in a former time Antonio
Brown's Twitter writer, I don't know if it's him or
whatever somebody else. He could be really funny. I do
recommend the follow up.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
You think that guy brings the material to AB AND's like,
what do you think about this? He's like Conan O'Brien
and like a pre show meeting, like strumming his guitar. Yeah,
I like that. No, I don't like that post other thing. Yeah,
I don't know, all right, but no it doesn't go
get it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Else.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
What about you there, Jase dou.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I saw this and I'm gonna go ahead and promote
my Twitter account now. At the top of my Twitter
feed as our listeners are going through the show's Twitter feeds,
At the top of my Twitter feed is a video
from the weekend. I if you've listened to me at all,
I've been a massive proponent of ABS for years now,
and I've been frustrated at Baseball's slowness deliberateness towards incorporating
(05:34):
ABS into their game. Well, major League Baseball is throwing
us a bone, and they're during spring training. They're doing
the ABS challenge thing. And for those that don't know ABS,
it's they could challenge balls and strikes now and it
goes to that computer rized strike zone and if it
wasn't in the strike zone, they call it a ball
and otherwise a strike. Well, they have this pitch by
(05:58):
Dylan Cees in a game against the Dog and I
think it's Pahz who's batting. He takes a pitch that
is way high and the umpire rings him out. And
what's great about is that the Empire doesn't just ring him,
you know out. He does this real dramatics strike call
like I just nailed you. Take a seat on the bench.
(06:18):
Pa Hees challenges it. They go to the screen and
it's a good like six inches high. So I think
this is one of the great things about ABS when
they do incorporate it, is it's gonna make umpires look
really foolish for their eyesight and their dramatics. I need
the umpires to be more humbled and this will only
(06:40):
do that.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah, I also will say with this I'm on the
ABS format. It brings drama like it would in tennis
on challenging a call by cyclops and the drama of
finding if the ball is in or out.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
There is something to that.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
There's there's drama that actually brought to the at bat
and there is the other point. And I'm sure that
this is going to be something talked about for years
and years. Monzi brought it up yesterday and our Sunday show.
But if you have just like a sliver of the
ball touching the strike zone at the end that it's
called the strike It's kind of like one of those
capture where you have to log in and find the
(07:19):
how many motorcycles are in the picture or what portion
is showing a street light. That's kind of what the
balls and the ABS system provides. And I actually think
it's been entertaining TV. When it actually pops up.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I'm going to I'd like this tweet by Sam Decker.
Sam Decker, who is a friend of course Fantasy, a
star basketball player at the university's contemplating the NBA now
playing overseas. I saw this tweet from him today. Sports
media is in such a weird place. The Lakers lose
three games with Luca and its immediate panic and I
(07:55):
told you so. Then they beat the Nuggets in one game,
and now they're a championship favorite on every network. Is
this what we're doing, Sam? Yes, Yes, Yes, that's apparently
what we're doing. And it's so weird. Uh my favorite
thing I see on Twitter. Let's get to what we
hated again.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I love here, Sam. This does play off of Dan's
h aforementioned of viral moment the Washington Center Frank kept
nag dunking on Iowa. The basket of course didn't count.
But listen, Dan, I do see the humor in it.
I do, and I admitted that much to you, uh
here today, But listen, in the moment, it was really
(08:39):
fired up both teams, and uh it was it was
like sort of it was like, you know, the the humorous,
the physicality. That dunk really fired up Washington and then
Iowa was just like, we can't be had like that.
And I think that that fired them up. And thankfully
Iowa survived sort of that momentum shift there. They had
been kind of trailing game and they won the game,
(09:02):
and they avoid sitting in the basement in the cellar
of the Big ten.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
And that's what makes the comedy about it that much
more special and that much more unique, because to your point,
when you were watching the game, I was not.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
It seemed to be a pretty big turning point in
the game.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
But someone who was smart enough out there looked at
that from a different angle and was able to turn
it into something funny, and then on top of it
presented in a way that it even highlighted the comedy
even more. Now, I'm not a comed comedy officionado. I
don't want to say I'm an expert, but it was
just so well done and to your point of everybody
of Iowa going crazy may have changed the momentum of
(09:39):
the game. Washington may have been ticked off. Someone found
something funny about it and it made it go viral,
and that's what was so awesome about it.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, fun Yeah, Okay, I can admit it. It's okay.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And I love that they that they avoided that they
avoided it letting him get him down.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So that that's let's let's get to what we hated
from the weekend is the most changes a resident hater is,
of course, other than Jason Stewart Jays.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Two guys, I'm gonna come at you from a different
angle today. And I do apologize to anybody listening right
now who is a part of the Academy because this
is gonna come off as hostile. I saw a movie
on Saturday, and I know, Doug, you would actually really
appreciate it. Obviously. It's called The Brutalist. It's a Oscar
(10:24):
nominated movie. It was the favorite to win Best Picture
as an Oscar nominated movie. It's about a Jewish immigrant
and his family coming over after World War Two. Very serious,
obviously heavy, heavy undertones, but it was brilliantly made and
one of the best movies I've seen in a long time,
(10:45):
The Brutalist starring Adrian Brody. So I'm watching the SAG
Awards last night. I watch a lot of the post
you know, the award season award shows, and guess what
movie was left out of the SAG Award winners again?
This is This is a movie that's very favored to
win the awards. It's critically acclaimed. I loved it, and
(11:07):
the SAG Awards gave it a zero. It got a
donut last night. And here's why. If you google The
Brutalist and AI. There's been some controversy and I guess
the filmmakers used AI to to make the Hungarian accents
of the actors sound a little bit more Hungarian. That
(11:31):
has completely offended the Academy that they're taking jobs away
from actors or editors or sound people and they're including AI.
And in response to that, they are threatening to not
give this movie awards. So Adrian Brody, who was supposed
(11:51):
to win Best Actor last night for the SAG lost
to Timothy shamalay shalam.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
What did you say?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Very frustrating? So again I'm a film snob. I think
Doug and I went to the mat a couple of
years ago when I said that I didn't think Top
Gun raised was to the level of a Best Picture nominee,
and Doug's like, it was a good movie. We all
loved it. Why shouldn't it. I don't think so. I
think there's a certain standard that the oscars have and
(12:25):
I call bs on this latest move.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Uh, in fairness, it wasn't Top Gun, and never said
Top Gun should be. I don't believe I said Top
Gun should be Best Picture.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
No, no, you no. You said that Maverick should be
one of the ten movies considered for Best Picture. Sure,
and I was annoyed that they were even considered.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Okay, what is that movie called that? My daughter suggested,
it's got Demi Moore in it.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
The substance.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
The substance, yes, substance.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yeah. I hated it. It was awful. Oh oh as
I could, I just it was. I did not like
it at all.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Sam told me he was going to watch it this weekend,
and I said, the third act is utterly offensive. It's
out it's it's meant to shock, but it shocked me
too much to while I was looking away from the TV.
And I don't think you want to do that if
you're a filmmaker. Didn't you hate the last like forty minutes, Doug?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I hated most of it, to be honest with but
the last forty minutes especially.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
So I think I have to see this movie now.
I mean, I was gonna watch it anyway, but like
Jason was, kind of you're one.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Of those people that somebody bites into something and goes like, oh,
this is terrible. Here try it well.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Jason liked the first two thirds of the film and
was very put off by the controversial final third Stanza,
And now you're saying, oh, I hated it, So now
I'm very intrigued, and so I gotta watch it. I
just gotta.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
She won last night.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
By the way, don't mean Moore, Do you say demi
or do you say to me?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
I say demi?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I do two?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I do both, to be honest.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Uh damn fire what japen weekend?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Oh, I'll tell you what. I did not like this
on Saturday. On Sunday, excuse me. It bothered me and
I am I'm not afraid to name names. Ian Rapaport's
tweet announcing that Shador Sanders was not going to take
part in activities at the Combine was just so unnecessary
and over the top. It's so unnecessary. I'm going to
(14:27):
read you not one but two tweets announcing the news.
This three forty two Eastern time yesterday, Colorado quarterback and
potential top pick Shador Sanders plans to focus on his
interviews with teams at the NFL Scouting Combine, helping them
continue to learn him as a person. He'll allow his
(14:49):
four years of film to speak loudly, then throw at
his pro day with four draftable SeeU wide receivers. It
was then followed up by a quote tweet by Rapaport
on x saying Shaudor Sanders has impressed teams with his presence,
poise and intelligence off the field and that should continue
(15:10):
in Indie. No one else got that treatment, no one.
What we get is guess what Ashton Genty is not
working out at the combine. If Duel Carter has a
shoulder injury, he's not working out at the Combine. He'll
work out at his pro day. This over the top
and I just think it's kissing up to Dion, like
(15:31):
that's what I think that it is. I have no
idea on who else would be like appeased by this.
But it was so over the top, Engross, it was
actually so bad. Awful announcing, who sometimes writes awful articles,
actually wrote an article about this, and so it was
just yeah, it was so over the top.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
It was so bad.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I can't believe that it was actually allowed to be
written and then followed up with a quote retweets or
quote tweets from X by Ian Rappaport.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
That's going anybody any more gripes?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Yeah, yeah, go ahead, Doug. I hate Horizon League buses
catching on fire. Do you guys see this?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I did?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I mean, listen, I know you guys are mid major,
but you deserve better. You don't listen. You're not low major,
you're mid major, so don't be loading up those guys
in the Lemon the Lemon bus and then it catches
on fire. That was scary. So we saw IU Indy
coming back from their their road trip. They're lost to
northern Kentucky and this fire breaks out on a bus
(16:36):
and all the guys got out safely, thankfully, but man,
this thing was charred. So I hate exploding Horizon League buses,
that's all I got.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Ye know, it's interesting we take you know, I see
you on the.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Buses all the time, Doug, that's all.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah. Well we fly places on these little charters, which
are cool, and then we're in these coach buses. Man,
the coach bus is so much nice as they used
to be. They're really, I'm sure. And that one that
caught on fire, I gotta find out. I gotta call
their coach.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I mean it, yeah, they said it was I'm just
kind of what riffing here is. That was a mechanical issue.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
And you know, but they lost their uniforms and everything.
M three games left right three to you know, six games.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
They lost their jerseys, no jerseys.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Well that set of jersey wouldn't bring all of your jerseys,
but still you lose the set of jerseys.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
You're they're gonna have to play in those stinky rec league.
You know, those those mesh jerseys from from.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Pe class I mean the practice jerseys, practice jerseys that
smells practice jerseys, and.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Live Stut Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio. Okay,
so Matt Stafford has been given the ability to find
a trade partner. So like, hey, he wants a new contract,
and we're fine with that. We're moving on. And it's
(18:08):
very The Stafford thing is fascinating, right because remember last
year this time it was with Stafford retire. That was
like the last two years it was with Stafford retire.
Now Staffy wants to keep playing, but he wants a
new contract. I asked Fourer Bucks GM Mark Dominick, he
joins the show every week about Aaron Rodgers, and he
had this to say, I've.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Been saying it for almost a month now that all
eyes should be watching what happens to me in LA
with the rams, you know, with Matt Stafford and that negotiations,
does that come together, does it fall apart? And if
it falls apart, like there's been whispers and the numbers
that could be. I think that he would love to
play in the West Coast cent He loved to play
for Sean McVay and I think Sean McVay would say, hey,
(18:48):
look not to have the quarterback of the future, but
at least we've got a quarterback for twenty twenty five
and we're good shape. It's can be less expensive than
what Ma's going to ask for and how long we're
going to tie into Matt Stafford. I think that's a possibilit.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I think it is too. And you look at the
offense he was in in Green Bay, and he can
say what he liked or didn't like it, wont MVP
in it. It's the same offense. He knows that there's
not a ton of new verbiage whatever. And he didn't
look very good for about the first two thirds to
almost three quarters of the year, but he started to
come on late. And remember like when you have the
(19:21):
Achilles ten and it takes you a while, Dan Byer,
would you if you're the Rams and it's relatively on
the cheap, would you take a swing at Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yeah, there'd have to be a lot of factors. I'd
be apprehensive on it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
What are your factors?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Well, it would just be who else is available and
what you would be able to do? I would and
who would want what like, is Sam Darnold still going
to be searching for a big contract? How long would
that contract be? How much the Aaron Rodgers thing? You're
higher on him than I am. His numbers were better
(20:00):
than I even remembered from this past season, So like
stat wise and numbers wise, it wasn't as much of
a wash as I.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Originally thought that it was.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
But I just don't know for a forty one year
old guy, when you're trying to go to bigger heights,
I don't know how you would work in the locker room.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I would have those questions as well.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, but do we think like and I've noticed Stafford
a little bit, right, do we think Stafford at his
age is really super interactive in the locker room?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
No, but I don't think I don't think he needs
to be interactive. But I mean, is it is.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
It it's about Aaron Beans so aloof.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yes, by many accounts, apparently players like them. Maybe that's
you know that, Maybe that's a misjudgment by me, but no,
I would just.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Think it's I think it's the judgment by a lot
of people. I don't think that's by you. And but
the one point that you did point out, which is
the only thing that really matters is the players at
locker room right and the coaches. Like, if they're all
all about it, then it doesn't matter. But if they're not,
now we have an issue. Now I have an issue.
Jay Stu, you on your tombstone? You want uh? What
(21:13):
did you say he wanted? He searched, He seeks for
the opposite of BS.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
He spent his wife searching for whatever the opposite of
BS is.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Okay, So you become a fan of Aaron Rodgers because
whether his his beliefs are right or flawed, at least
he's saying what he believes it right and he's giving
what he believes to be the truth. Would you be
all for him playing for the Rams?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I would. I really like that pairing, it just just
on the surface, because I'm also of the belief to
that Sean McVay is not going to coach, He's not
going to be one of these wifers. And I actually
thought maybe even this offseason, if Stafford doesn't work out,
maybe maybe McVeigh calls the quits. I think McVeigh is
(21:57):
kind of a short term guy, and I think like
a one or two year contract with one of the
best quarterbacks ever. That would make for some great like theater.
I think all parties involved would be up for that.
And you know, as you're watching this Aaron Rodgers documentary,
I don't know what's on Netflix or whatever, so many
(22:19):
scenes are like from his balcony and Maui, and he
talks about Los Angeles a lot. That TMZ video the
other day was just him walking out of a some
kind of a what do you call that workout center
in Los Angeles. Sure, it just seems like a good
fit to me. And I don't know why I like
it so much, but I do.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I like it as well. I like it because we've
heard Colin say that he needs a third act. You remember,
FARV was good in New York until he heard his
biceps and tried to play through it and then it
was awful. But in Minnesota the year before it finally
came to an end, it was it was very good.
You know. Even Joe Montana had that second act with
(22:59):
the Chiefs whether they went to the AFC Championhip game.
You know, So could he walk away? Yeah, I just
don't think he wants to. And I just look at
at Sean McVay as the best, Like, you know, he's
give him eleven and then switch switched to eleven's at halftime. Whatever,
he'll beat you, or give him your fifty three and
he'll switch at halftime. I think for Aaron, he needs
(23:21):
somebody who he knows the system, but also he trusts
that's good at their job, because it remembers some of
his comments about last year in terms of accountability and
that being lacking with the Jets, and I'm sure McVeagh
is not that way at all, Sam, What do you think.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I'm with Jason here. I liked the pairing. I didn't
really give a lot of thought to Rogers being on
the RAMS. But if you were going to move off
of Stafford and bringing Rogers, yes, I think that there'd
be more mutual respect between Rogers and McVeigh, maybe because
you know, I mcveigh's looked at as a you know,
a very offensive skill, offensively skilled coordinator and yeah, guru,
(23:58):
and maybe that that respect wasn't there with Robert Sala
in New York. So like Rogers can look at McVeigh
and be like, this guy is gonna set me up
in the best position to win. I think it's actually
is a really fun pairing. And maybe, yes, me and
Jason are more high on Rogers than Dan is, but
I like it. I like it if it happened.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You know, Look, Dan will tell you that I was
the biggest Rogers fan and you know Fox Sports Radio
history up until a couple of years ago. And it
doesn't mean i've and I was. I thought, I felt
like I've been a fair critique of him, fair critic
of him, offered critique, fair fair critic of him, and
there was plenty of critique for the first half of
(24:37):
the season. He wasn't great the second, but is much better.
Definitely settled in. So remember the boxes you have to check.
I believe for an order quarterback, you gotta play indoors.
Gotta play indoors. I mean, Denver is the only other option.
They don't need a quarterback. Gotta play indoors.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Stat Wise, again, he actually matches up with Matthew sti Afford.
Stafford had a higher rating. Rogers threw for more touchdowns.
I don't think that's an important stat but yardage wise,
it was closer than you'd think. Rogers actually has a
slight edge, but Stafford played in one fewer game and
just looking at Aaron Rodgers' game log again and just
trying to refresh all my memory from this past season.
(25:19):
What is interesting are the teams where he had great
success against, and that's passer ratings over one hundred. And
those games are against the Dolphins twice, the Jaguars, the Colts,
of the Patriots, the Texans on that Thursday night game,
and then also against New England.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Okay, so one playoff team among them.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yeah, against Buffalo ed one that was ninety nine, but
on the flip side of one that was forty four
rams around ninety one. Just in the higher against Pittsburgh
passed the rating of seventy again earlier in the season,
So I'll give you guys that that maybe later on
things were able to be adjusted. I just I don't
(25:59):
know how much is left there. And for Rogers, if
Rodgers wants to come in and blend in and and
with a team that likes to run the ball. We
know how much they use Karen Williams, and when they
drafted Blake Korham last year, you've got another young guy
that can tout the rock. If they say, I just
don't know if it's in Rogers DNA to not have
control and just kind of go with the flow and
(26:21):
and do what he can. Maybe he is at that point,
maybe he's so mellowed out after everything else that he's
willing to do that. I just don't know if that's
in his you know, in his DNA, if you will.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
It's there's also the possibility that, yeah, I don't know
if it's his DNA, but it's that he actually trusts
the system, in trust McVeigh and he you know, and
he thinks, but I know the system, I know when
I could break off of it and kind of do
my own thing. But he also look, he saw a
ton of success with that with La Floor, like that
system that's the that's say, the same system as the Floor,
(26:53):
and he has kind of the same skill set. Now
really is what Stafford has, right he is. The thing
that's right him from Stafford in the past was his mobility.
Now he's not nearly his mobile And so they're sort
of the same. Guy like I like it. And then
obviously you draft a younger guy as well and try
and develop him and maybe somebody who's outside of the
(27:14):
first round. Yeah, they can eventually get value of if
Aaron Rodgers retires at the end of the season.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Yeah, it is so funny because you're right about Rodgers' mobility.
It was a true weapon for a majority of his
career of him being able to move and on third
downs being able to move. And he was plus a
guy who wouldn't throw the ball into harm's way a lot.
It's why you'd get low interception numbers. And then so
when he would throw interceptions on bad throws, you'd be like, where.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
The heck did that come from?
Speaker 7 (27:38):
There?
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Yeah, But to your point about the mobility, it's funny
because I just I just remember the games of watching
Aaron Rodgers this year, and he just looked so stiff
in the pocket. And I'm not even talking about, you know,
scampering for a twelve yard gain here or there.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Stafford really didn't do it at all this year to
that point.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
But he just actually looks more comfortable in the pocket
than Rogers actually league did, because Rogers just looks so stiff.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, neither don't want to get hit. I mean, not
that anybody wants to get hit, but neither of them
at that their age want to get hit at all.
That that's the one problem with those older quarterbacks. With
a couple hundred million in the bank.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
I got to give some credit though to our guy
Mark Dominic. You know, I think he's exclusive to us.
He does our show, and I know he does serious
exund but like he has been way out in front
of this one. He has been saying it for weeks,
like so, I don't know if he if someone higher
up in the RAMS organization, if he's talking to Sam
Sneader or west Steed. I don't think he's talking to
(28:34):
Sam Sneaed, but he's been out in front of this.
I kind of want it to happen so that we
could give him his flowers, because he was like the
one guy saying it. And then over the weekend, Dan
says to me this Florio article where there was an
anonymous former front office executive as as kind of the.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Coldest, the anonymous anonymous one as well.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
That's what I thought, That's what I thought that Florio
just didn't want to reveal it. And here Dominic has
been saying as much over the last few weeks. And
then that sound body said over the last month, he's
even been saying it.
Speaker 1 (29:06):

It's the Doug Gottlieb Show. It's Fox Sports Radio. It's
coming to you from the tireg dot com Studios. God
of a chill Monday. Huh, beautiful weather in the West
coast Southwest, warm even here in Green Bay, Wisconsin. But
I hit fifty degrees today, snow is melting. Get a
little slushy, wet, soggy for the winter.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Yes, ses Sam, It's going to be ninety three degrees
in the valley, the San Fernando Valley here on Wednesday,
ninety three in February. That's awesome, No that I like it.
In the sixties, and seventies.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Said nobody ever ever You.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Want ninety three in February. Yeah, well I get it.
You live in Green Bay, so it gets Yeah, different.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Hill for ninety ninety three, be amazing.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
I want just sixty three. That's a nice compromise.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Sixth Are you still not that? I mean it feel
really good to hear. But like eighty three is idea,
I would prefer ninety three to sixty three. Obviously eighty
three between seventy seven and eighty three is is is prime,
but ninety three is nice.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Temperature haggling on the Doug Gottley Show.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yes, yes, let's get to the press, the press. What
do you got there, Dan Buyer, Doug.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Normally we don't start out the press with the correction,
but I feel that it is necessary. The high in
Sherman Oaks on Wednesday is eighty two degrees, so it
is not a marine to who that's according to weather
dot com.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Well, I go with weather dot Gov, which is the NOAA,
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Canamics Administration.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
They say it's gonna be ninety three. I don't see
anywhere that on my phone. I looked at the temperature.
It just doesn't I know it's going to get a
little warmer, and it's it's nice today, it's seventy nine.
I don't see nineties anywhere.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
I think that there are what do they call those people,
climate deniers. I think Sam is a weather denier.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
I'm looking just okay, weather it's curator, Okay, I'm just
looking at weather dot gov. That's where I use my
I don't use I don't use the Weather Channel app
or all that because I feel like the actually government
would number lie to us. Well, these people are scientists.
They're not here to manipulate the weather. They're here to
tell you the weather. And on Wednesday they saying ninety
and Thursday saying ninety one.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
So don't you think the Weather Channel would benefit more
from saying it's gonna be ninety three because people are
then like, well, I'm going to tune in because it's
supposed to be super hot.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I actually find the Weather Channel app, the one that's
like just automatically installed on your iPhone to be incredibly inaccurate.
A lot of the time I go with weather doc V.
I compare them all the time.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
You said this last week too, and I'm like gosh,
I didn't. I looked on my I looked on my phone,
and I'm like, I don't think it's supposed to be
that hot out here. So Doug, I don't know if he's,
you know, passing along false information, but you're responsible.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I'm just saying another website is saying it's gonna be
a little warmer may website, well, a website, well, these
these are the people that are like, actually know what
they're doing. I think just saying they will haggle on
the tamp. We'll say it's gonna be like eighty six.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Underground weather underground, another popular one high of eighty two.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I don't know where you get this ninety three, just
looking at it right now and.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Missing it by nine ten degrees, eleven degrees, Lot bud.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Well, Yeah, because it's supposed to be a cool, cooler
weekend highs in the upper sixties here.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Highs in the upper sixties. I'm high above the four
h five, and I can see that Sam is completely
inflating his weathers.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
We'll see, we'll see you back Wednesday. We'll see on
Wednesday and Thursday how high we get, all right? Tom
Izzo on his high horse, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
The Michigan State head coach recently talking about earning playing
time in college basketball. This was something that we didn't
get to in the show. So let's hear from the
coach now in the press.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
You play real good, you start, you don't play, it's good,
you work your way back in. It's the American way,
except the America has gotten soft. But there is the
American way. That's the way it works. And so I
apologize to nobody for that.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Those from a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah, I mean, look, wait, I did my team. If
you look at my lineups, there have been some players recently,
we feel like we're playing our best basketball, and some
of the younger guys earned more minutes. Some of the
guys are in less minutes. But you know, sports are
supposed to be meritocracy. I think what he means. What
he means is, you know, so many of these players
(34:14):
who if they're in a transfer portal or you're recruiting them,
they want to be promised a certain number of minutes
or hey, promise you, I'm going to start, coach, and
it's not going to play that. He's going to do
it his way. But anytime anytime you say we used
to be tougher back in the day, you win the
hearts and minds of people like Jason Stewart, who insists
that the nineteen eighties and nineties were the greatest times
(34:36):
ever on earth.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
You get heckled at all in Youngstown or one guy,
I was having discussion with the ref about a play
and it was just Youngstown was actually the nicest they were.
It was a good crowd, the nicest of them. One
guy was like, stop your whining.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
But that's just that's nothing. Nothing. Robert Morris, I had
the like gool to your podcast, and then other guys
like I like his podcasts, pretty funny, my guys, we're dying,
oh about to your radio show. I like his radio
shows like it was like Heckle and Jacky.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Do you hate it when people write podcaster Doug Gottlieb
is also a coach.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Like completely discrediting the host, not that they're.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
National sports radio dude. That's been my life for twenty
three years.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
That's that's the point about it. And I didn't mean
to discredit any podcasters, but it's just the point of yours.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Anybody could be a podcaster.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
