Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hey, what up with you?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Doug Gotlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio Coming to you from
the tyrag dot com studios tyrat dot com.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
We'll we get there.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Unmatched election, fast free shipping, free road as protection, over
ten thousand recommended stallars tyrag dot com. So way tire
buying should be Welcome, Welcome, Welcome in, got a good
hour for you. There are times in which, uh we

(00:51):
let people in on why our organizations are what they are, right,
why organization are what they are?

Speaker 2 (01:02):
And I'll give you an example in TV.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
I know of one of the networks that once upon
a time was roasted by SNL that night live, and
shortly after that they made the decision to part ways
with a couple of their talented people because, by my estimation,
the people who run that network are New Yorkers and
they don't like being made fun of like their whole

(01:28):
thing is let's just make everybody's happy, and that's all
that matters. And when they make fun of us, I
mean they're not happy. And let's find people that make
people happy.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
And it lets you in on their organization, their organization.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
If you're going to fire somebody because they were made
fun of by Saturday Night Live, in many ways, you
should hold on to people that are made fun of
by Saturny Night Live, because that's bringing attention to what
you're doing, get them to improve. But they lets you
in on that organization. Aaron Rodgers let us in on
the dysfunction within the Jets organization when he paid his

(02:06):
own ticket, which, again, if you're worth the hundreds of
millions of dollars paying your own tickets, not a big deal.
But when you're trying, when you're still under when you're
still under contract technically, then they own your rights with
the New York Jets. Not that big a deal to hey,
we're gonna buy your first class ticket, fly across country.
But he said earlier today he flies back, starts to

(02:28):
talk football, and they're just like, hey, we're going to
go in a different directions, Like why don't you just
call me it lets you in on who the Jets are.
Andrew Berry is the GM of the Cleveland Browns.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Right.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
This is the same organization that traded forward to Shaun Watson.
Despite all the off the field baggage in the on
the field was almost as bad as the auta field.
Here's Andrew Berry when he's asked about Travis Hunter wanted
to play both ways.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
It's a little bit like Otani right, where you know,
when he's playing one side, he's he's an outstanding player.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
If he's if he's a pitcher, he's a hitter, he's
an outstanding player.

Speaker 6 (03:10):
You obviously get a unicorn if you.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Use him both ways, he's a unicorn. If you no,
he's not, he's not show heo Tani. Right, he's not
show heo Tani. Please don't do that. Please please please
don't do that. Please don't do that. Right, Andrew Berry

(03:41):
calling him a unicorn is it's Cleveland and.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I get it. Like it's before the draft.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
You don't want to say anything negative even if you
pass on him. The last thing you want is Travis
Hunter if you pass on him to every time he
sees the Browns to light him up and point to
you up in the box whatever, but let's just not
make a show heyo tani comparison. So you have one

(04:12):
team who has had spots of success, but for the
most part, for the most part, the Cleveland Browns have
been one of the laughing stocks of the NFL since
they came back into existence. Right Like, in that division,

(04:34):
the Ravens and the Steelers dominate. The Bengals had that
five consecutive years of the playoffs, they went to the
Super Bowl a couple years ago. And then there's Cleveland
that has been good at times, but for the most part,
kind of a joke. Their general managers like, hey, of
course he can play both ways.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
He's show heyo tani.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Here's John Harbaugh, head coach of the team that dominates
that division.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
It's gonna be interesting and see how they do it
wherever he goes. But to say that you're going to
be completely immersed in everything that there is a non
offense and everything there is a known defense, I don't
know if there's enough hours in the day for a
player to be able to do that and to have
every detailed lockdown, but you certainly can do it. I
would think on one side of the ball, and then
have some sort of a package on the other side

(05:19):
of the ball, which is my guess is how the
team will do it wherever he goes.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
This is the Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah,
you have one coach who keeps winning, saying like, look,
it's too hard to do both, you know, both sides.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Of the ball.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Maybe a little package on offense. You have a GM
of a team that's at the bottom of the division
going like, yeah, hey whatever. Dana Jeremiah joins us next week.
At this time, he'll be on set at lambeau Field
getting ready for the NFL Draft coverage, which of course
you can see on the NFL network. He's the lead
analyst I think. Joins us now on the Doug Gottlieb Show.

(05:56):
If you were advising a team drafting have his hunter,
how would you approach the he wants to play both
sides of the ball.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Conversation, Well, I would approach you by saying, we're going
to major and minor and we're going to start. You know,
to me, I think he's better on offense. I think
the Browns feel the same way, and I think that's
what he's gonna end up doing. He's gonna end up
as a full time player on offense, and I think
I wouldn't be surprised if you know, it was a
good bit end of the year before you started seeing

(06:26):
him being sprinkled in on defense and finding some packages.
It's never been done before. We've always had guys who
are full time on defense. You'd easier to go full
time on defense and get a package of plays on offense.
You don't have to necessarily be in the offensive meeting rooms.
You kind of know what you're doing. There's no side
adjusts or anything like that. These are the plays as
they're called. You have your your package of five to

(06:48):
ten plays every week that you know you're running and
you know what you're doing. Doesn't take a lot of
meeting time. I do agree with the sense that to
be a full time player on both sides the balls,
that would be just from a meeting time standpoint, that
would be extremely tough. But I like him better on offense.
I think he's more impactful on offense, and I think
you find some opportunities, you know, third downs and your

(07:10):
din package, whatever you want to do, but you find
some opportunities to get him in on defense, and it's
it's pretty simplified for him. So that would be the
way I would go. I think that's the I think
that's the right way to operate with him. But I
know when talking to teams, they all see it, you know,
their own way, depending on who they have and what
they need.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Dan and Jeremiah joins us in the Doug Gottlib Show
on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, so are we resigned to
knowing who's going number one?

Speaker 5 (07:36):
I feel like I know who's going one and two.
It just feels like a fate of complete at this
point in time that cam Ward is going to Tennessee
and Travis Hunter is going to Cleveland, and it starts
with the New York Giants at number three.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay, so.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
If you know that again right now, you're supposing you're
more than educated guessing.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
But if you know that.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Beforehand, will you do the surprise thing? If you already
kind of.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
Know beforehand, Explain it to me again, Doug, I lost
my mind.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Well, okay, you're up there on set.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, and everybody's pretending like they don't know, and then
all of a sudden, they like, it's the first pick
the twenty NFL Draft Tennessee.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
Huh, and they act like it's a shock. No, I'm
always I always feel like you're best off being straight
up and honest, and it makes it more genuine. And
in the moments which are going to happen where hey,
before the pick, this is the you know the giants
are you know, the giants say that they're on the
clock and they're number three. Look, I think they could
look at a quarterback here. But everything that that you're

(08:41):
hearing and the expectation is they're not going to go quarterback.
They're going to go abdu a Carter and maybe they
come back up for a quarterback after that. All of
a sudden, the pick comes in and it's a quarterback,
and it's like a genuine, you know, shock, and that
leads to some great moments. I think when you have
your your leanings and you try and keep that to
yourself before the pick and you fake uh, I think
that that's pretty transparent. I don't think it's great. I

(09:02):
don't think it's great in terms of communication, and I'm
sure it's that isn't good TV?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
No, not not so much.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Not so much so that I got the show here
at Fox Sports Radio. Let's get to pick three. You
said the draft starts for the Giants.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
What do they do.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
I think they'll take Abdul Carter, you know. I just
I think there's these you know, this draft, to me,
there's about six or seven guys who separate, and amongst
those six or seven, I think there's two that are
above those guys, you know, and that's right there at
the top, with Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter. And I
think if you're the Giants, you just you're happy to
take whichever one of those guys is there. I don't

(09:37):
love where they are at the quarterback position, with with Jamison,
with Russell Wilson, but they can line up and play. Uh.
They need to win as many games as they possibly
can next year to try and survive and keep their jobs.
And I don't necessarily think taking you know, a quarterback
with that first pick helps them win more games next year.
It might in the long run, that's going to be
somebody else's, uh, you know, somebody else's benefit and not yours.

(09:59):
So I want that first pick to help me try
and win some ballgames. I think either one of those
two guys at the top does that. And then however,
aggressive you want to get, you know, taking a flyer
on a quarterback with your next pick, I say go
for it.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Doug Gottlie Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, should
Or Sanders, where's he go?

Speaker 5 (10:20):
I think the Aaron Rodgers think it's significant because that
that was one of the you know, that was one
of the seats. And there's there's really Cleveland, there's the Giants,
there's the Saints, and then we were assuming that Pittsburgh
was going to be filled by Aaron Rodgers. Now and
maybe he comes out tomorrow and signs with Pittsburgh. Based
off what I saw today in his comments, that felt

(10:40):
a lot like somebody who's leaning towards retiring more so
than someone who's leaning towards playing. So that I don't
see Pittsburgh, you know, running in the next year with
just Mason Rudolph. I just can't see that happening. So
that makes them more of a quarterback team. I think
should Or Sanders comes into play with them, and you know,
I don't know if they're worried about the Saints. I

(11:00):
don't have I would told you I don't think the Saints.
You're taking a quarterback, But then all of a sudden
you get the Derek Carr information and it's like, well,
we don't know. So I think the good news is
if you're should do this new thing with Aaron Rodgers,
Pittsburgh's in the mix. You've got New Orleans as the possibility,
and then you have the Cleveland Giants trade backup scenario.

(11:20):
So he's got he's got quite a few options here
for where he could go.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Stut Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio, coming to
you from the tairak dot com studios. What do you
think is going to be the biggest surprise on Draft night?

Speaker 5 (11:38):
You know, I don't. This is what I've been looking
at and I can one hundred percent see this happening.
So I don't think it'll be a surprise to me.
But maybe just because of where we assumed everything was
going in this draft, I think ash and genty could
go five to the to the Jacksonville Jags. I do.
I think the Jaguars could take him. He's the first
pick of a new regime. There. It's somewhere that helps

(12:01):
out your quarterback who you need to play better. You
talk about having a nice trio to compliment each other,
to build around when you look at what they got
with Brian Thomas Junior last year, and now you put
Ashton gent back there next to Trevor Lawrence. That gives
Liam Comb a was an offensive guy. And coming from
Tampa where they really like to run the football and
be physical, that kind of gives them a little bit

(12:21):
of an identity. And they've talked so much. When you
listen to these press conferences, Doug like I used to say,
you know, look, these guys are all going to keep
it close to the vest. You're not going to learn
anything I've learned over the last few years. Some of
these guys are not good poker players. And if you
just kind of listen to what they're saying and how
they're saying it, and you keep hearing you know, work
ethic in character and building the culture and all that stuff,

(12:45):
and I know how off the charts elite Ashton Genty
is and all that stuff, and I'm like, gosh, this
kind of feels like this could be the Jags.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Pick the Jags would be that would be amazing, That
would be interesting. When you're sitting up there and and
you're what is it like, what is it like? I've
done the NBA draft on radio. Never done it on TV. Obviously,
I've done the Final Four on TV. But when things
are happening, you know, the trades are happening, discussions are happening,

(13:15):
and you're trying to answer the questions that Eisen asks you.
What's what's the process actually like when you're up on
that stage.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
Well, I'm very thankful for experience because it's a totally different,
you know, process now than when I first started with it.
I when I first started, I thought, Okay, it's important
to have all the information, like I gotta have the
inform I gotta have the information on the players, and
I got to have the information on the teams so
that whatever happens, you can talk on them. What I
didn't realize was having the information is one thing. Having

(13:46):
quick access to that information is another. And that's where
you know, you think about calling a game off of
a off of a chart Doug I created. I create
a chart. It's just it's one side is the NFC,
the other side of the AFC, and I have all
the teams little box in there with all the information
I have about them, areas that you know needs that
they have the picks that they have in this draft,

(14:09):
the players they added in free agency, the players they
lost in free agency. So my first year I had
a packet of information and it's like, all of a sudden, Bam,
Atlanta is on the clock when I'm trying to fumble
through a stack of papers, like you can't. You can't
do that. You got to have your information accessible. And
then I keep all of my player notes in an
Excel sheet on my computer that I have on the desk,

(14:30):
and so I can I have that sorted by how
I ranked them. I have it sorted by position, I
have it sorted by school, I have it sorted by name.
So anytime I get asked about Andy, Hey, who are
the top corners that could go right now, Bam, I've
got it all right in front of me. So that's
that's made it a lot less stressful those first couple
of years. Trying to stay organized with the information was
a learning process.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Have you.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Have you changed in any way.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
In regards to positivity and negativity because people bring back,
you know, analysis that goes wrong on the Internet.

Speaker 5 (15:12):
The approach I've always tried to take is not not
think of it in that way. I like to think
of it as okay, this player just got picked. And
instead of me just saying I hate this player, I
love this player, I've tried to take the approach of
this is why they took this player, and this is
what they're hoping he's going to be. Now to me,

(15:33):
I like this other option. I think makes more sense.
But I'm going to try and give you the explanation
of why they just did what they did and what
they're hoping this player is going to be based off
what they've seen. So that's the approach that I've taken.
I have not been you know, this is the dumbest
thing I've ever seen. This is the best thing I've
ever seen. I've more tried to explain is this is

(15:53):
what this guy does really well, this is what they need,
and this is what they're hoping he's going to be
based off of those factors. So, you know, I don't know,
I don't know if I've been clipped off before. I'm
sure you know there's stuff out there. I don't really
try to pay attention to that. But I also am
very I'm very cognitant Doug that I need to give
an honest opinion of what I think of the player.

(16:14):
But I also I have, there's part of me as
a human being, has to realize this is the biggest
moment in this kid's life. And I sure sec don't
want to take a dump on him on national television
in that moment.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah, I mean I get it on some levels. Though,
you got to read between the lines and what somebody
what somebody is saying. There are times in which, though
you know that when you talk about red flags and baggage,
you know like it's not good, but you just can't
tell people that it's not good.

Speaker 6 (16:40):
Right.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
Let me give you an example. Let me give you
an example, because this is like the Cleveland Pharaoh went
four to the to the Raiders, right, So that's my
He was in like my nineteenth twentieth player or something.
A lot of guys over him. He went, I was
shocked when they took him. Sure, but so they come
to you, what do you think? And I started out, Look,
this guy is my nineteenth player, So I know it's

(17:03):
a surprising. But what I'm guessing here is with with
John Gruden and Mike Mayock, they wanted they put a
high emphasis on character, and they wanted somebody in there
to come in that they felt like represented the right things,
and they were okay with taking somebody higher than maybe
some more talented players elsewhere. So that's I'm trying to
give you the rationale why I think they did what
they did, while also mentioning that, look, that's that's a

(17:24):
little higher than I had the guy.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yeah, that's fair. Are you gonna make at our event
on Tuesday?

Speaker 2 (17:31):
That's the big question. That's actually the only reason we had.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
Yeah, I know, I think I've got a good shot.
I'm again, I'm going to be there for a good time,
not a long time, but I think I've got a
way to pull it off to at least have a
drive by there, you know, twenty thirty minutes just to
see my guy.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
We are we coffee this week? What is your What
is your morning routine?

Speaker 3 (17:49):
You have need to work out in the morning, Like,
what is your How can I find a window to

Speaker 5 (17:55):
Yeah, I'm coffee in the morning is usually gonna be
the best bet. And I'm a coffee four workout guy.
So yeah, but I'm a you know, I think we
talked about can we go around somewhere. I'm the Doug,
Like I'm a I'm a coffee downstairs guy. It's a
it's a I know you're staying.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
I know you're staying.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
There's good coffee downstairs. Hey, I know you're staying. Done,
it's it's good coffee downstairs.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
And then I can and then we can just talk
about you know how worried Jay Stu is about the
fact that Bobby we can.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Just talk about Jay Stu.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
And what what I'll do is, well, just I'll give
you all the stuff to needle him on every time
you're on, just all the different there's things that trigger
j Stu. It's not that hard, but but you can
trigger him and he completely loses his mind.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
No, no question. And look, you know, hey, a billion
dollars for a third place team. I mean that's money
well spent.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Right, totally, absolutely, I see that too, see that too. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:11):
I'll take it from here. I want I want the
listeners to go back to two thousand and eight. What
were you doing in two thousand and eight, What were
you what were you following? What were your interests? Two
thousand and eight? Pretty random year? Nope, wasn't random at all.
In fact, this week, what was happening in two thousand
and eight?

Speaker 6 (20:30):
This week?

Speaker 7 (20:31):
In two thousand and eight, the Seattle SuperSonics were told
they are relocating to Oklahoma City. A twenty eight to
two vote by the Board of Governors allowed that to happen.
That's significant. And I guess you're gonna ask me, well,
what happened in the NFL draft? That's always around this time, right, Yeah,
one of the most forgetful or forgettable drafts happened. Jake

(20:55):
Long went to the Dolphins at the top, and then
a guy Long was taken second. And they're not related
to each other. Matt Ryan taken third by the Falcons.
But I looked at the first round and it's just
largely forgettable players like Darren McFadden. Not a good NFL draft.
Two thousand and eight. What a year. I think Dan

(21:18):
experienced one of the greatest times of his broadcast career.
If I'm not mistaken, Dan.

Speaker 9 (21:25):
That is correct, Jason, you know that I like to
bring in the golf perspective of this, and that's where
we start with this. In two thousand and eight, sure
it was a year where the Americans won a Ryder Cup,
actually doing so at Valhalla. Sure it was a year
where we had a multi major winner in Padrag Harrington.

(21:47):
But we remember two thousand and eight from Tiger Woods
and what he did at Tory Pines with a broken
leg and torn ligaments in his knee and beating rock
O Medi eight in a Monday playoff that went not
eighteen but went nineteen hole and I covered that event
for Fox Sports Radio while also simultaneously trying to cover

(22:07):
the NBA Finals that was going on between the Lakers
and Celtics, And as Tiger and Roco ended up battling
down the stretch on Sunday, Tiger makes that putt to
force the playoff on Monday. Guys, I didn't know what
my plans were going to be because just a few
hours north in downtown LA, the Lakers were trying to

(22:28):
keep their series in season alive as they trailed the
Celtics three to one in that NBA Finals. The Lakers
end up prevailing in Game five, forcing a Game six.
I took in the nineteen hole playoff from Tory Pines
on Monday. Left Tory Pines at about two o'clock in
the afternoon after Tiger beat Roco on the seventh hole

(22:50):
at the South Course, number seven on the nineteenth doll
of the playoff, emptied my suitcase. When I drove back
up to my apartment, repacked it, caught a red eye
out a long beach to go to Boston and then
watch the Celtics win an NBA title that next night
over the Los Angeles Lakers. So in a forty eight

(23:11):
hour span in two corners of the country, I saw
Tiger Woods win arguably i'd say, top three of his
most epic major victories, and then watch the Celtics beat
the Lakers in Game six of the NBA Finals to
win the NBA title. If anybody asked me what was
the best point of my broadcasting career, it's those two

(23:33):
days in that window.

Speaker 7 (23:35):
You earned your salary that week.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
It was great.

Speaker 9 (23:38):
It was everything that every kid could have dreamed of.
It wasn't a Finals like the year before, like it
was cav Spurs, like it's Celtics Lakers, It's Tiger Woods.
I just I don't think I'll ever top it.

Speaker 6 (23:52):
Dan, This goes out to you. Great job, Thank you, Sam.

Speaker 9 (23:55):
Thanks thanks for mocking my non broadcasting career with a
drop streat job be a part of it.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
Appreciate that i'ctly honor you with that great job. And
that's good. Don't keep doing it. Everybody loves it, they do.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
I mean, I've just personal two thousand and eight.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
My girls were two years old, which was not as
bad as everybody says the terrible twos would be. And
I found out that we were gonna have a little boy,
So I.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Mean it was pretty awesome.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
That's that's that's honestly, that's my biggest memory of two
thousand and eight was you find out like, hey, we're
having another kid, and then towards the end of the
year found out it was going to be a boy.
And you're like, I love being a girl dad. I
love being a girl dad. But all of a sudden,
when you hear like you're going to have a son.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Another one, pretty dope, another one, pretty dope, pretty dope.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Otherwise, two thousand and eight gave us a lot of
other stuff.

Speaker 6 (24:56):
Movies.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
This is back when people watched movies, went to movies
in the theaters, right, and there was a lot of
good ones. The biggest movie hit was The Dark Knight.
It was a This was a.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Good year for the first in new series.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
I know Batman had been gone going, but The Dark
Knight was the first you know of that, I well, no,
as Batman begins with the first one.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
But iron Man was that year.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
A movie that was the last of a of a
series where I thought was the last in the series
that I've never seen because I've heard it was crap
was Indiana Jones and the Crystal and the Kingdom of
the Crystal Skull.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Is anybody seen it?

Speaker 6 (25:37):
Was all right?

Speaker 10 (25:38):
I was so so excited, so much, so much anticipation
for that movie. When I saw it in theaters, I
was disappointed, probably because I had hyped everyone had hyped
it up so much in their minds. But I think
when you compare it to the Fifth one, which I
didn't even see, but I heard, like the Dial of Destiny,
like people were like, Okay, no, that's the crappy one. Like,
you know, Harrison Ford's a little bit too old to

(25:58):
be in an action movie. He's still working his ass off. No,
you know, I love Harrison Ford, but Crystal Skull was
all right. I think it'll maybe age a well time,
but it was. It doesn't live up to the original three.
I'll tell you what aged well is Wly Yeah, Wally's great.
The story behind Wally is excellent. That's that's a good
one of those kids movies. Really good.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Yeah, except it's a it's a terrible look at what
I think ultimately will become, which is.

Speaker 10 (26:25):
Yeah, dystopian sort of. Ye can't don't know what to
do with our trash, you know.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
So we we they they're just people just stare at
their screens all day. Yeah, poor people stared at their
screens all day.

Speaker 10 (26:36):
I think Idiocracy the movie came out a year before that,
and then Wally.

Speaker 6 (26:39):
It's two.

Speaker 10 (26:40):
Those two movies are kind of maybe a glance in
the future. But yeah, the first Iron Man, what about
the music, Jase do.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Well.

Speaker 7 (26:52):
Something that happened in the NFL season I thought was interesting. Uh,
the Steelers won the Super Bowl in the two thousand
and eight season. Dan could give us all the specifics
on that. I want to say. That was a Ben
Roethlisberger quarterbacked team. I remember maybe what Jerome Bettis was
on that team. No, no, he had gone correct, so

(27:15):
it was probably it was probably fast Willie Parker.

Speaker 9 (27:21):
I think it may have been Richard Mendenhall. To be
honest with you, I'm gonna go fast Willie Parker. Okay,
I know Willie Parker was Super Bowl forty, but this
is Super Bowl forty three when they beat Arizona.

Speaker 7 (27:33):
Oh wow, Okay, that could be wrong. And then Peyton
Manning was the MVP. Peyton Manning won the MVP, and
I remember they did a feature on him on the
NFL network and he was wearing iPod ear plugs, ear
hearing aids. What do you call those hearing pods? And

(27:54):
they're like, what kind of music are you listening to
right now? And he's like, I'll play it for you.
And it sounded like this.

Speaker 6 (28:06):
Low low, low, low lowers.

Speaker 9 (28:08):
And it was Willie Parker leading the Steelers in rushing
in Super Bowl forty three nineteen carries fifty three yards.
Men and all played in Super Bowl forty five against
the Packers two years later.

Speaker 7 (28:20):
Hey, I'm really right, I'm really right. In a battle
against Dan and improvisation. This was Low by Florida. It
topped the charts for seventeen weeks of the two thousand
and eight year featuring T Pain. T Pain, I don't
think had a great career after this, but a lot

(28:40):
of pain, yeah, more pain than success for T Pain.
The second on the charts that year was this song.

Speaker 6 (28:57):
Never liked this song?

Speaker 7 (28:59):
You do?

Speaker 6 (29:00):
I said, I've never liked this song.

Speaker 7 (29:02):
Oh so the opposite of liking it, you didn't like it?
Kind of about one hit wonder wasn't Lewis was a
Simon creation, right, like she came over from like the
British American Idol.

Speaker 6 (29:17):
Did.

Speaker 7 (29:18):
This one song, Leona Lewis Bleeding Love, Never Heard of
Her was played over and over again in two thousand
and eight. That's what I remember.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
I do remember.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
This is a we're kind of bearing the lead of
what two thousand and eight was though, right.

Speaker 6 (29:35):
Are we?

Speaker 9 (29:36):
Mario Chalmers beating with the game tying three and then
Kansas beating Memphis and the final no was.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
The financial collapse? Is that you're winning?

Speaker 7 (29:47):
Financial collapse happened in two thousand and eight, but that
was also an election year, so I remember. I just
remember Obama was the one that bailed out all the banks,
so he was in office January two thousand and nine,
but Yeah, the housing crisis was happening, and I think
the crash happened in two thousand and eight.

Speaker 6 (30:06):
Yep, it did.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Layman Brothers went when bankrupt.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
That was kind of what started the collapse, if you will, Yes,
I just remember, like you know, when you go home.
I remember like my twentieth ann a verse of my
twentieth reunion for my for my high school, right or
maybe it's tenth tenth reunion, right, was like, yeah, two
thousand and five was my tenth three n I remember
going back to California and it was like your tenth reunion,

(30:33):
and how many of those people who they had gone from,
Like they went to school. Some they went to went
to community college, right, usually like occ or Rancho, Santiago
or whatever, Gold West where I.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Went for a year. Then they went to maybe Fullerton
with Ja stew or Long Beach State.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Then they got out and they went through the different
sales seats, like first they were selling phone call isn't
phone cards, And then by the time you get to
like two thousand and five, like what do you do?
Like what are you doing that You're driving a crazy
nice car? Like I remember pull up to House of
Blues that's where my test in high school reunion was,
and like I had a rental car and all these

(31:18):
dudes that were not they were good guys, but they.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Weren't like super high achievers. They weren't getting into finance.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
They weren't lawyers, they weren't doctors, and they had, you know,
at as soon as they got out of college, went
from you know, sometimes a beer distributorship sales, to med sales,
to phone cards sales, to they were all selling mortgages.
And you're like, what do I not know about mortgages?
Why is why are these guys just rolling it? And

(31:49):
then you find out about all the mortgage stuff that
people were doing where you don't even have to have
income and you were getting granted mortgages for houses in
the Inland Empire.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
You're like, what like, yeah, well that that tracks?

Speaker 6 (32:01):
Is that what? I remember?

Speaker 10 (32:02):
The names Fannie May and Freddie Mac's that's something to
do with mortgages.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah, Fannie Mae and Pretty Mack are government programs.

Speaker 9 (32:11):
Yes, I remember the name. Chase Sutley, Jimmy Rollins. Phillies
won the World Series.

Speaker 6 (32:15):
Against the Rays in two thousand and eight.

Speaker 10 (32:18):
They had that weird one of the games that it
had to be split up because it was raining so hard.

Speaker 6 (32:21):
They had to finish it the next day. My sister
was actually at that.

Speaker 9 (32:24):
Game, well so was i Iowa Sam, and that it
was close to the details. They called the game and
then they couldn't play it the next day, so they
had to play it the day after and resume it
in the sixth inning.

Speaker 6 (32:35):
It was raining so hard? How hard? Was it raining
so hard?

Speaker 2 (32:42):
We didn't even talk college football, did we?

Speaker 6 (32:45):
Florida, Tim Tebow and the gaetas.

Speaker 7 (32:49):
Oh, that's it, just Tim Tebow. He was no big deal.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
I mean they had some dudes there too.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
Second National Championship.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Did have you ever seen that roster chase two?

Speaker 10 (32:59):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (33:00):
It was great. But Tim Tebow was like the one
of the greatest sensations to ever come around in sports
talk radio.

Speaker 6 (33:07):
I remember that Tibo flex.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah, Tim Tebow was incredible. Remember that was Cam Newton
got kicked off that team, right, he was a freshman,
got kicked off right.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
Bets Oklahoma in the National Championship game.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Yeah, January, we had a squad and that is don't
call it a throw back.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Let's get to the press the press, Dan Byer, what's
in the press?

Speaker 9 (34:12):
Doug mad props going out to Lee Corso is the
longtime college football TV personality and former ED football coach,
announced he'll be making his final college game day appearance
on ESPN on August thirtieth before officially retiring from broadcasting.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
I would say a couple things. One, it's.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
I have never heard anyone at ESPN have a bad
word about him, and in our business, you know, everybody
talks trash. Secondly, I would commend guys like her, Curb
Street and others on being such good teammates when yeah,
it probably should have happened five six years ago, but
they they like him so much, they did everything they
can to make him look good and to honor all

(34:59):
that he's a s pompish and broadcasting and then look,
I know a lot of it was that the game
was always behind them, but the highest rated part of
college game day was him putting on the headgear. And
it's kind of a very very unique thing and now
anybody who does it, it's going to be kind of
a hack. So nobody will probably do it after that,
but that was his signature deal.

Speaker 9 (35:21):
Props the leak, Corso will likely Texas Ohio State. That's
the game to game of the week to open up
the season. Some people think maybe you could do Alabama
at Florida State. We mentioned Florida State as well because
the university today postponed all home sporting events through Sunday
following following the on campus shooting that took place earlier
today that left one person dead and six others injured.

(35:44):
So our thoughts go up to those in Tallahassee.

Speaker 6 (35:47):
Doug.

Speaker 9 (35:47):
We've got some transfer portal news and college hoops. Memphis
All American guard PJ Haggerty into the Portal second team
All American this past year for the Tigers.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
The only surprising thing that is now right, which is like, okay,
the market has kind of set now, and maybe now
it's like, oh, okay, now you go out and I
don't know, it's just if you're going to go in
the portal, go in the portal when it opens, unless
your coach is asking you to kind of hold on
for a second, you know, strategically, but you know, like

(36:19):
we have to plan what our roster is and if
you do kind of last second like I'm in that,
I'm out. I don't know enough about this current situation.
My guess would be that he probably agreed to stay,
then he heard all the numbers that are being thrown
out out there, and then he likes some of these kids,
is like no, no, no, I gotta go after.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
I got to get that bag. I get that bag.

Speaker 9 (36:37):
College basketball report Senate tweet out today that Baylor has
zero players left on their don Scott Drew's team right now,
either Portal graduates or have already transferred. And obviously VJ.
Edgecomb is going to the NBA. But I thought I
thought that that was unique. Auburn's Chad Baker Mazzara is
in the transfer portal. He's on the move again.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Maybe sometimes you do it for negotiating whatever, but I mean,
there's a guy who he's played four years of college basketball,
plus he played junior college because the first year was
the COVID year and the second year is junior college
during the junior college COVID year, he's going to get
that back.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
But he's actually played five years of college basketball. Like,
it's crazy that he's going to get to play a sixth.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
You started the show with it, let's end it.

Speaker 9 (37:20):
Aaron Rodgers telling the Pat McAfee show today he hasn't
made a decision on whether to play in twenty twenty
five right now. Dealing with some things in his personal
life and off the field is the reasons why he
hasn't made a decision.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Yeah, But I do think the league is once you've
made the decision to not make a decision, you made
the decision easy for the league and they move on
right Just I mean the team that he looks like
he could play for is the Steelers. Like Tom was
the coach of the Steelers and he said, we want
volunteers not hostages, doesn't feel like he's a volunteer.

Speaker 6 (37:53):
That's the press.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
They get out there and pressed.

Speaker 8 (37:56):
That was the press.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
We keep creeping closer and closer to the real playoffs,
closer and closer to the NBA Draft. But you can
