Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're Boom. What up America? Dot Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio,
I Heart Radio app hundreds of affiliates nationwide, including our
new affiliate in Austin. We got affiliate in Albany. I
know there's one in the Desert Southwest coming online as well.

(00:21):
Welcome in Plus Serious XM channel eighty three for the
first two hours of the show. And if you're watching
us on Facebook Live, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, uh Daniel Jeremiah
down Jeremiah who's at Moved the Sticks. Of course you
see him on the NFL network. He will join us
in Will you join us in fifteen minutes and we'll
discuss Rosen Donald and the litany of college quarterbacks, how

(00:44):
they played in Week one. What we can expect NFL
people to say when they actually watched the tape and
they don't get caught up in Rosen's comeback with the
fact that USC didn't destroy Western Michigan from the opening kickoff.
That to come. Let's get to the news of the day.
News of the day is that Ezekiel Elliott, though the
suspension was upheld yesterday because they've gone to court, he'll

(01:08):
get a temporary injunction and he'll be able to play
this Sunday. The most important thing for NFL front office
people and for yackers like myself is let me just
kind of get out ahead of it going to be
record ratings this weekend in the NFL. Again, I'm not
huge in the prediction game. I do give you picks.

(01:29):
I'm gonna talk about the dangers actually of gambling as
one of my close friends in the business um is
facing charges, federal charges, and it all comes kind of
back to gambling, and get to that later in the show.
But look, I'm not huge into predictions, but I will
tell you that the NFL is a freight train out
of control in terms of popularity. Many of you, including

(01:51):
my friends, had a fantasy football draft in the last
week's we had when yesterday. I got one today as well.
Tom Brady is playing and on open Night and against
the Kansas City Chiefs, a team that you go back
a couple of years ago, beat them on day Monday
night football the year they turned around and won the
Super Bowl, great game on a Thursday night. Plus you
got Brady Goodelli be in attendance, and all the things

(02:12):
that worked against them last year, the election, not having
Brady injury to Romo, some of the big name teams
missing their big stars at the start of the year,
and games that were supposed to be good, we're not good.
In addition to at least a small portion of people
going like between the election and the protest, no Peyton

(02:36):
Manning he was retired. It was just a lot like
why do I watch the Denver Broncos. Now you have, uh,
the Raiders, who are a signature team. They'll play primetime
games and they're good, and they have a player that
you want to watch. The Raiders will bring people in.
The Steelers a team that have a huge following nationally

(02:56):
and they're loaded for bear Big Ben Antonio Brown who
joined US yesterday, Martevis Bryant, the most mispronounced name in
the NFL this season is back office suspension. And they're
a team that plays a fun style. But more than anything,
the Marquee games will be just that, and they will
have the Marquee players. And you don't have an election,
you don't have the nonsense of what took place last year,
and Nagan just the water ball and from the Thursday

(03:22):
night game with the Pats to the Sunday afternoon game
which is the Seattle Seahawks fully loaded taking on the
Green Bay Packers fully loaded on Fox. And then NBC
gets g Men with Odell Beckham Jr. In the conversation
the most popular player in all of sports in America
with the Cowboys with no quarterback controversy and Ezekiellett will

(03:45):
play the NFL wins kids. But you know who loses
all of us because what's going to happen over the
next couple of weeks it's already happened. Is this is
the lie? And look, we all tell lies, right, Like
we all say things will happen in the future that
aren't going to happen the future. You've been drunk before,
and if you haven't, let me just kind of explain.

(04:06):
At first, you feel really really good, and then you
feel really really bad once you've gone over your limit. Right,
Like my wife is honestly like a one and a
half drink, Like she gets to two or above two drinks,
her world starts spinning and she feels awful and she,
unlike the rest of it, she can't sleep it off.
She goes to sleep, she gets the spins. She doesn't
go to sleep. Now she's tired. The next day plus hungover.

(04:28):
Everybody has that limit. And once you get even past
that limit, now you start to get sick and you're
you're praying to the porcelain God, and what are you
saying yourself, I'm never gonna drink again. God, dear God,
I'm never gonna drink again. I promise, Just make me
make it so that they don't feel bad tomorrow. Yes,

(04:49):
I gotta stuff. Throwing up is just right. We've all
made that lot, well made that lie. You know, you've
even made the lie in sports. Ask yourself after the
Pacciale Mayweather fight, did you walk away going I'm never
buying another Floyd Mayweather fight ever? And then Mayweather is

(05:10):
fighting a non boxer, a guy who's never fought a
day in his life in a boxing ring, and you're like, God,
gotta watch this thing. Okay, last time, last, last time?
All right, everybody, Yet you get your boys over your
like last time on three two three, last time. I

(05:33):
mean even the even leagues lie to themselves, like the
NBA is like, oh, we gotta change this one and
done rule. Did anybody realize they actually have had two negotiations,
two CBA negotiations and both they've decided to not even
broach the one and done rule. Like, we'll get to
it when we get to it. So here's the lie

(05:53):
that you're you're told by people the next time around,
Roger Goodell is going to lose the power that the
Commissioner's Office has had since because he has autonomous power.
This is unfair, and it probably is unfair by the way.
I just hate to be this guy. But um, in

(06:13):
anybody else's job, right, if the NFL is a job,
anybody else's job, if they suspend you, right, you appealed,
Like who do you think? Here's it? Like, who do
you think reconsiders how long they suspend you, or if
they fire you, or if they hold you out of work?
Do you think the same boss? But regardless of which,
we are told time and again by radio hosts, by

(06:35):
former players, by any sort of hanjak who has a
microphone in front of him, Roger Goodell has too much
power in the next time the CBA comes around. Even
the head of the NFL p A is like, this
is just ridiculous. Do you know why they don't care?
Because once you get to actual negotiations, players are sitting

(06:56):
there going like wait, Han there's d and ninety active
players any week in the NFL. That's the math I
did fifty three times thirty two. Okay, plus you have
practice squad guys, So he got approximately guys. There's like
fifteen or twenty that get in legit trouble. Fifteen or

(07:16):
twenty that get in legit trouble. So when you're talking
about the bottom one percent, they don't care. This doesn't
affect me. People vote for and decide on the future
of things, and the same with like what affects me
in the future. And if the NFL players aren't gonna
be worried about his autonomous rule because they don't allegedly

(07:40):
strike a woman, they just don't. They don't start cocaine,
they don't take steroids, they don't not stop smoking weed
like um, who was it from the Browns? The wide
receiver got n played so like Josh Gordon right, like
end played a long and forgot like stop smoking weed.

(08:03):
Like it's actually a really simple policy. Everybody gets tested
in the off season, and once you get tested, if
you pass that test, they don't test you for the
rest of the year. It's not a drug test, it's
an intelligence test and if you failed it. Most guys
really like, what a dummy, That's what they think, And
so they don't worry about the dummies, much like they
actually don't worry about the top one percent of earners either.

(08:25):
What are they worried about? I guarantee next time around
the lie that you've been told. First thing we're gonna
take care of is Roger Goodell? Like all right, you
want Goodell to give away some of his power? Sure,
what are you giving back? You give back some guaranteed money?
Like no, you can back some years on contracts, you
can away the split of the football revenue, our football
revenue year football You like no, Like, okay, so we're
gonna give up something we already have vent sin sent

(08:47):
for nothing, Like that's not the way it works, Like okay, well,
what else do you want? Like, well, we want more
players on active rosters, more than fifty three. They're like, okay,
sure you can have that. What do you want to
give up? Like it's they called a negotiation. And in
the importance of negotiation, guaranteed money, post career benefits, number
of players who are on an active roster, number of

(09:09):
games preseason games, number of contact All of these other
things are the Commissioner's office pales in comparison. Nobody guys
don't care because they don't run a foul with the law.
We just don't. They're like, well, that didn't affect me
because I don't beat my wife. You know, I don't

(09:29):
bet my girlfriend. I don't smoke weed, or if I
do smoke weed, I do so after I take the
first drug test in the off season, so they're not
gonna test me. But I don't drink and drive and
take uber. That's how people, most people think. That's definitely
how the rank and file. So the one thing you
should not do or not get into the rabbit hole,

(09:51):
the the vortex, you know, vortex just kind of pulls
you and you're like, all right, dare get out whoa
whoa the conversation you cannot get into. And I don't
even think you really cares. Roger Delmott, he's the worst,
and he's just so like now he's actually not He's
kind of made them a ton of money. He's developed
new revenue streams. He's moved three teams which will make

(10:13):
all the rest of the owners over two billion dollars
in relocation fees two billion dollars in relocation fees, settle
the concussion lawsuit, established Thursday Night Football, then split up
Thursday Night Football from just CBS to NBC, all the
while giving those games to the NFL network so that
the league owned network can continue to make millions and
millions and millions of dollars. They got labor piece until

(10:35):
about two thousand twenty one, Like this deal is, this
deal is humming financially, and guys get sidetracked and go
like I'm never gonna drink again. And then next Frida
Night like Miller time. Huh, it's bureau'clock. I thought you
said last weekend, like, dude, stop it. I was hungover.

(10:56):
I thought you said, you're never gonna buy another Mayweather
fight after pak Yah. Yeah, but it's it's McGregor. It's mgregor.
And so mark my words. Two, if I'm still working
in this industry, they'll get to the c B A
and people are like, oh, they're gonna go after Goodell's power. No, no,
I don't care because most guys in that locker room

(11:17):
are just guys in that locker room. Like hey, here's
the thought. Don't beat your girlfriend or don't get don't
be in such a psychotic relationship to where anybody could
think that you might be your right Daniel Jeremiah joins
the show up coming Next, I'll get his thoughts on
Rosen Donald Alan, all of the star quarterbacks, all the

(11:42):
star quarterbacks uh in college football, and what they actually
look like. One plus will get his sense of the
rookie quarterbacks like Deshauan Kaiser did everybody miss or simply
the Browns doing the old Hey we're starting a young quarterback, Yeah,
we gotta beat Well, we're going young, he joins us. Next,

(13:33):
mm hmmmmm. Yes we are, Yes we are. There's there's
a rush. There's a rush to legalize sports gambling in
this country, much like the rush too has already been
done to legalize marijuana in this country. We we need to,
we need to. So I was funny. My son is
eight and he knows how It's funny how kids know

(13:56):
how to do things that we didn't know how to
do at their age. So, um, when I was a kid,
my daddies let me sit on his lap and steer
like around in my house, like maybe from the gas
station whatever, and that's how they kind of learned how
to drive. And then he had to learn how to
do the thing with your footpet with the pedals once
you got older. And I haven't done that with my son,

(14:17):
but he was sitting behind the wheel of my car
when it was parked and I was like, hey, do
you know how to drive? He's like, yeah, the right
is the gas pedal and the left is the break.
I was like, well, yeah, but you know you only
use your right foot. But he's actually learned because he
has a golf cart. He doesn't have a golf cart.
My in laws have a golf cart. They live in
the sticks in Oklahoma, and he's driven that sucker around nearly,
you know, tipped it over like ten times over. Right,

(14:39):
kids already already know things that that we don't know,
but we limit some of their access to it, access
to things like being behind the wheel of a car,
because we have to watch out for their best interest
because whether or not old enough or mature enough, and
even there's plenty of adults that aren't mature enough to
drive a car. Get to how that relates to sports
game end Sports radio up coming in a moment. Uh,

(15:03):
let's welcome in Daniel Jeremiah, who you will you will
hear on this show weekly on The Doug Outlip Show,
and of course you can. He's got a podcast. Uh.
He also was on the NFL Network. He's kind enough
to join us here on Fox Sports Radio DJ. Let's
start with with college football, and everyone's talking about the
college quarterback prospects. He had Sam Donald who, by some

(15:24):
people's estimation, it was a home home day at the
college sum As. They didn't polish off. They didn't polish
off Western Michigan. But he's got new wide receivers, he's
got new running backs, new tight ends, had some drops
and then of course U c l a all anybody
wants to talk about his Rosen in the fourth quarter,
Let's start with Donald. You've seen him on tape. How
do you look he played well, Doug? I mean that

(15:45):
was it was kind of interesting that all the talk
was that he just didn't have a good game and
was off, and then when you study it you see
a handful of drops. Um, I still saw the same anticipation, accuracy, touch, poise,
all that stuff was there. You know, I thought he
actually played really well. How how how how much concerned

(16:05):
you have for the throwing motion. I mean, that's something
that you're gonna have to work through. But I mean,
I think we've talked about it before that if you
have a slow looping motion, you've got no chance. If
you've got an explosive motion that's a little bit long
and you and you have some velocity, you can make
up for it. So it's not a it's not a
deal breaker for me, but there are teams that's gonna bother.

(16:29):
All right, Then let's go to to Josh Rosen. Uh,
he was not protected in the first half. How much
of that can can you put any of that on
him or is it simply guys not blocking well. I
mean a couple of things that he needs to speed
up his clock a little bit. And one of the
one of the areas when you're comparing him with Donald,
you give Donald the edge is just being able to

(16:50):
avoid and alludeed inside the pocket. And that's something like
you don't have to do the most mobile grand the world.
And Josh and Rosen is a good athlete, but he's
got to get a little bit better at side step
in maneuver inside the pocket to some of the hits
he's taken out. I mean he he made some big
time throws. And he is a beautiful passer. I mean
the feet are great, the release is beautiful. But self preservation, man,

(17:13):
he's he's gotta he's he's gotta be a little bit
better in that department. He's not gonna make it through
the year, alright. But was was he as good as
the numbers and as the twenty eight unanswered points in
the fourth quarter? Was he as good as those numbers
would lead you to believe? I don't know that I
would say he was as good as a number he
would believe me. Look, it's an incredible comeback. It's a
whole time and he made some some huge throws. But

(17:36):
even when you kind of look at that last drive,
just some of the management stuff when you go back
and watch it, you see take a delay a game.
There were several plays where they didn't get everybody set.
He got called on at once, uh that there's a
penalty there, and then you have you know, he's going
into the chist of a defensive linement that popped up
in the air and could have been could have been
picked off. So it wasn't a perfect it wasn't perfect

(17:57):
in execution, but man, he makes throws that are just
there there while throws he's got a ton of ability.
No he does. But see, I this is what I
pointed out both Monday and Tuesday Dana Jeremiah joining us is. Look,
I get that he's only a college quarterback, so managing
a game is not something he's going to be as
refined in as a pro is. On the other hand,
he's in his third year as a starter. He's playing

(18:18):
at home, so it's not like crowd noise as a factor,
and like we're sold what we've been sold on Rosen is, Hey,
maybe he doesn't have the hose that some of these
other gid that the Josh Allen from Wyoming has, but
parents are ivally educated. He's super bright. Like those are
the type of things when you can get a delay
a game because of the quarterback, when you get a

(18:38):
false start because of the quarterback. Uh, those are football
i Q. Things that we thought he would have mastered
with his time spent in college football. And that's where
it's more surprising than just any other college quarterback. Is
that fair? No, Yeah, that's fair. Look, that's your job
as a quarterback is to manage the game. I always
thing is down maybe a little bit there, but the

(19:00):
other side of it's a little bit understandable. That was
such a that was such a whirlwind. I mean that
they're going a hunter miles an hour and he actually
just needed to kind of slow down a little bit
and he didn't quite do that, but hey, I mean
the game, No he did. Dan Daniel Jeremiah joining us
Mason Rudolphs the guy that people are also talking about

(19:21):
in that first round along with with Josh Allen. Uh,
he put up ridiculous numbers last year. He had three touchdowns,
no interceptions completed, of his passes in the first game
season granted against Tulsa. Will see him Friday night. Um,
is he anywhere in the vicinity of the top three quarterbacks?
I have some separation there. Um, you know, I think

(19:42):
he's kind of in that next tier. But look, we've
seen these the second tier of quarterbacks go in the
first round all the time. You know, you said, okay,
the little separation beween this this group of two or
three guys in this next group. But we've seen that
second wave of quarterbacks go. And I think Luke Falk
and him, I'm anxious to kind of study their throughout
the year and see how that sorts out. I think
those two guys are battling for that fourth spot. Luke

(20:05):
Fawk of course at Washington State and he pitched nearly
a perfect game going back to their their win on Saturday.
Daniel Jeremiah at Moved the Sticks is the Twitter handle.
Also you can follow him on Instagram as he puts
out video of so many plus. All right, let's get
to the let's get to the big boys. Let's get
to the National Football League. Um, all right, you take
away for another year, you take away Alex Smith's running back,

(20:26):
and you put some pressure on Alex Smith because Pat
Mahomes has been lighting the up, second, third, and four
stringers in the preseason. Everybody knows that Mahomes has armed town.
Even if he's not gonna set the play this year.
That does put some pressure on Alex Smith. We'll see
them on Thursday night against the Patriots. What are your
thoughts on the chief everybody's talking about the Patriots. What
are your thoughts in the Chiefs and Alex Smith coming

(20:46):
into the season. Well, I look, I think going there
for training camp, they're they're equally excited about Mahomes, but
they're also in no hurry to get him out there.
And sometimes people give lip service that like when Bordles.
Remember when Bordles was behind any when he first came
in and they said they have a red shirt for
the whole year, But you kind of got the feeling
that ain't gonna happen. I do believe that they will

(21:06):
rest my Homes throughout the year and let him sit
and learn. I don't think he's ready to play. The
wild plays are are spectacular, but just the down and
down out managing the team. I think he's got a
long way to go and I think this Chief's teams
in the West, but I mean they've got a chance
to be right there at the very top. That they
got a pass rush, um, they've got an efficient, if

(21:28):
not super explosive offense. You didn't see as much of
Tyreek Hill as I thought we would in the preseason,
but I would imagine we'll see him kind of unleashed
on the Patriots at the right. What about the Patriots?
How how how devastating is the blow losing their top
wide receiver from last season. Well, I mean I've I've
never I'll never doubt that group. I mean, they're the

(21:50):
best tight end, the most dominating weapon in the NFL
in the passing game. You know, sit it out at
the end of last year, and they went on to
win the Super Bowl and didn't really have much trouble
I mean throughout the year. So they find a way
to pug holes. And I can't wait to see how
they use Brandon Cooks in this thing. I think they're
gonna be a little bit more vertical than they've been
in the past because they've got several guys they can
get down the field. Now Danda Jeremiah joining us in

(22:11):
the Doug gotlip show at least discussed team with a
ton of talent. They underachieved last year in Vontes Perfick
suspended UH to start this season. Is the Cincinnati Bengals.
Of course, they get Tyler Eifford. We think he'll be
back to take on the Ravens, their favorite at home.
Still got a j. Green Hill's gonna start at running back.
They got three really talented, really good running backs. What
do you make of the Bengals? A team that I look,

(22:32):
you got a coach on the hot seat, but they've
made the playoffs consistently up until last year where they
where they where they fell flat. Can can the Bengals
get back atop their division? I think they can. I
think when you look at them on paper, in almost
every single position group they are they are in great
shape save for the offensive line. And I think in

(22:52):
whenever the Radar, we've talked about the Ramps in what
they've gotten Andrew Whitworth, but we haven't talked much about
what Cincinnati law austin Andrew Whitworth. So that to me
is the one question market for that team in a
division that's that's got a pretty good group of front seven,
they're gonna face But man, their defensive front is loaded. Um,
you look at the running backs. I think Joe Mixon.

(23:13):
Look fantasy football or whether you played or you don't
play it. I've been two leagues, Doug and I took
him so early. I mean, he's just such a talent.
I know in the other facts, but I'd be shocked
if he doesn't emerge early in the season. As the
guy you mentioned Rams, you called the preseason games, I
called this thing. This goes back a week and a
half ago, dj I went on the radio. Is like,
at this point in time, the Rams are a three
point dog, Andrew Luck's not playing, and the Colts are terrible,

(23:35):
like in the three or four worst teams in the
NFL without him, Plus they have massive injuries. Um, but
but give me your sense of what you've seen from
Jared Goff and what your expectations are of him in
this offense, with more talent around him and in a
completely different coaching style. I think he's in a great situation. Uh,

(23:56):
it's gonna be up to him. I don't know if
last year the success, no matter what he could have done,
I don't know if he would have been able to
be successful just in terms of the lack of protection.
He had, the lack of playmakers around him, and really,
to be quite honest, not not a great play caller.
I think they're they're upgrading all three areas. I think
you're seeing more confidence from him, and I'm looking forward

(24:17):
to watching what they do in the regular season. They
didn't do much of it in a preseason, but I
wouldn't be shocked if if coach McVeigh you saw a
lot of pace with them, a lot of tempo, and
that's something that that your goss very comfortable with from
his time at college. UM, I think it would make
a lot of sense for them to try and go fast.
The Air and Donald thing is interesting, you know I nationally.
I don't know how big a story it is. UM.
They want to help him renegotiate his contract. He's got

(24:39):
two years left, plus he'd he'd be under club control
after those two years, so so they hold all the cards.
The only thing he can do is not collect checks
and not show up. How long does this thing last?
I don't know. I mean, there's the uh, there's a
certain date you gotta reach. I can't remember what it is.
What is it like eight weeks before. You don't get
credit for the season, so at some point in time

(25:01):
he's gonna be in there. You know. Look, it's it's
what tricky situation. You can make the cases the best
defensive linemen all football, you can make it pretty easily.
But the means can make a case and you've got
two years left on your deal. If we're gonna, if
we're gonna do this thing early, they got to get
at least a tiny bit of a discount. So you
can kind of see how both sides a dig in.
Seahawks Packers. Um, Look, the Packers were terrible in their

(25:23):
back end last year. They've gone out, They've they've added
free agents. Uh, looks like the wide receiving corps is
is improved. Uh. This this feels like it feels like
that the two final NFC games feels like NFL playoff games. Right,
Cowboys and Giants, Seahawks and Packers. Let's start Seahawks and Packers.
Give me your thoughts based upon what you've seen from

(25:43):
those teams so far in the preseason. Well, it's gonna
be fascinating to me that one of the key storylines
is Time Montgomery and how they use them. I mean,
he that just gives them so much flexibility and theirsility
what they can do with him. So that's something I'm
looking forward to watching. In that game. Dallas has a
lot of new in the back end, and you've got
green Bay with all the chemistry that Rogers has with

(26:05):
all these weapons on the outside, that's gonna be a challenge.
That's gonna be a challenge for them. So I like
green Bay in that one. But you know, I look
at Dallas in the game. Even it's gonna be a
great game. I mean not Dallas, Seattle. Yeah, Seattle can
can shorten the game a little bit, will be in
their favor, be fascinating, should be a great weekend football.
Look forward to catching up with you next week. DJ.

has been postponed until week eleven, that's November nineteens, where
the Bucaneers and Dolphins will play in South Florida. So
there is no Dolphins or Buccaneers Dolphins Buccaneers game this weekend.
Get him out of your fantasy lineups. By the way,

(27:09):
sixteen straight games now for the Dolphins and Buccaneers in
the seventeen campaign because they won't be playing because of
Hurricane Irma. They're not the only teams to adjust. Florida
State's gonna move up their kickoff time from a nighttime
affairs who around noon Eastern. Same thing with the Florida Gators.
While Miami is not gonna play at Arkansas State, that
game has been canceled. No room to make it up
later on in the season. Miami students have already left

(27:32):
class because classes have been called off for the rest
of the week because of the storm, and football players
have been released to allow them to go and seek shelter.
Some news from the NFL Giants wide receiver Adel Beckham Jr.
Didn't practice today because of his injured ankle. Giants faced
the Cowboys on Sunday night, while Seahawks defensive end Michael
Bennett claiming that Las Vegas police racially profiled him and
used excessive force when he was handcuffed on August. He

(27:55):
was in town for the Mayweather McGregor fight, and it
actually claims one officer told him he would quote blow
his bleeping head off. Red top the Brewers today seven
to one, while the Twins and Razor tied up at
six apiece playing in the sixth inning. In St. Pete's
one other game underway, Texas leading the Braves nine to four,
and top seed Rafael Nidala at the UI Soap and
dug up two sets to love in his quarterfinal match.

(28:19):
Uh well, I quarterfinals. Everybody's hoping that that we're gonna
see what Rafa and U and Federer in the in
the semi finals. That would just be phenomenal, phenomenal tennis. Uh,
I don't know, people, the irma thing. Irma looks like,
uh a terrible storm. There is a thirty to fifty
chance I read chance that it it misses Florida altogether

(28:45):
and scretch the East coast and then maybe comes up
and gets uh New York, Connecticut, which could be terrible
for you know, of course, this is I don't know
how many years we're working on us in Sandy, which
could be just terrible for that area, but it would
be good news for Florida. So we'll we'll, we'll keep
an eye on on Hurricane Irma. I'm just watching video
here online of a friend of mine and a super

(29:09):
talented radio host, Craig Carton. You guys know this story.
You guys know who Craig Carton is. Stuck got leave
show Fox Sports Trade. Of course, I came here from
a different radio network and Craigie was the local morning
host with Boomer Sizon, Boomer and Carton. It's on w
f a N that's the oldest, really the oldest sports

(29:32):
radio station in the country. That's where Mike frances says
the afternoon host. And he has said he's gonna retire
at the end of this year. So Craig Carton apparently
yesterday morning, early this morning, was arrested on fraud charges
that he was there was two things running a Ponzi
scheme and some sort of uh, fake ticket company scheme,

(29:54):
and he was taking money that was supposed to be
for future profits to pay off gambling debts. And they
have of uh they have emails between him and one
of his co conspirators. And he just had his preliminary
hearing in federal court in New York City, is facing
up to forty five years in jail. Now, there's a

(30:16):
couple of things that come to mind. The first thing
is what I what I despise when something like this happens,
is when people separate themselves from a friend. Right, you
guys have seen um uncontact over clear and Present danger
gets in clear in present danger Harrison Ford, Yes, Jones, Right,

(30:36):
it's a Tom Clancy novel anyway, um Clear and Present Danger.
The beginning of both the book and of the movie,
one of the President's friends is murdered on his yacht
in the Caribbean, and they find out that he's murdered
because he's been laundering drug money, right, and he gets

(30:56):
caught up in the drug trade, and he gets he
and his whole family get get killed. And so they're
sitting around the White House, the Oval Office and all
the President's advisers saying, like, so you barely knew him,
play down play how how good your friendship was? And
Harrison Ford, who's playing Jack Ryan the c I, a
UH intelligence officer, says, don't say you were good friends.

(31:19):
So you were lifelong friends. You're great friends. Because the
second you say you're not friends and people know you're friends,
that's when the that's when the the wolves smell blood, right,
or the sharks smell blood in the water. Well, in
this case, like, I'll tell you Craig Carton is a
dear friend of mine. Like, he's the one guy who

(31:41):
they moved me. My previous company moved me to New
York City. My dad was sick. I did not want
to move, and my dad's a New Yorker and like, look,
you show up and you're a national guy. Local guys
sometimes don't like you just because even though you're not competing,
they can see you as competing for the same sales dollar.
He could not have been better to me, And I

(32:06):
think the world of him as a radio talent. That said, obviously,
defrauding people of money and running a ponza scheme is
something that I can't get behind. And I can say like, well,
maybe I didn't know the guy, but there's a much
bigger thing at play here. On Friday's I'm gonna give
you my gambling picks, picks against the line, and I

(32:27):
told you guys a long time ago, like, look, I'm
not betting on his games, but if I did, the
Rams were a three point dog a week and a
half ago to the Indianapolis Colts. I've watched the Colts
play in the preseason. I know people in that organization.
They are terrible and they weren't gonna have Luck back.
Plus a couple of their top defensive players are hurt
as well, and even when they are healthy, I still

(32:48):
don't think they're very good taking on the Rams, who
are without Aaron Donald, but a very talented team that
has finally put some pieces around Jared Goff, who seems
to be an offensive system to which he can at
least be decent this year. It is the first year
as a full time starter. Plus it's played at home,
Like all of these factors, and I thought Sean mcveigh's
team would win the game without Andrew Luck. Now that

(33:11):
Luck's out and they have other injuries, load up. My
first year doing sports radio in Oklahoma City. I had
a bookie playing basketball, and the guy was like, hey,
you you throw any money down on games? Like now,
I've never done it, Like I just I wasn't. I heard.
I know that people smoke weed when I was in
high school, Like I never saw it. I wasn't around it.

(33:33):
I was just wasn't my I was just I played basketball,
It's what I did. I knew people in college bet
on things and had bookies, like I just didn't do it.
I wasn't around it. That wasn't my thing. So I'm
out of college. I played professionally overseas. I got some
money in my pocket. I think I know something about sports.
I start betting on games. I love parlay's right. Wait wait,
I can win like twelve to one odds and all

(33:54):
I gotta do is heet like four games. Right? How
do I do that? And if anybody's ever bet a parlay,
the first three games you always hit on. It's the
fourth game that always lets. They like, oh god, I
hate this. Pretty soon I was down like four hundred
bucks this dude, and um, I don't know. One morning
I got a text or I got a phone call,
like hey, you're down four hundred one shi, let's settle

(34:16):
up next time you come play basketball. So I took
the money on my bank account. Well I was married.
My wife's like, where's this fours going yet? It took
four hundred dollars out today? Would you would you buy?
I was like, oh, betting on games? And she looked
at me and she's like, that's the stupidest thing ever. Like, no,
no, no no, no, honey, it's fun. It makes the games
fun to watch. It's like entertainment costs. Plus I'm pretty

(34:39):
good at it. She's like, no, you're not. You just
lost four hundred dollars. I had somebody who and like
from that point forward, I still when I go to Vegas,
I will bet on sporting events. But that's it. I
don't have a bookie, I don't have a guy called
don't go online, don't do it. And I'm not trying
to have be virtuous and say that I wouldn't do it.
But my wife kind of put me in check, just
like why would you just waste money? You like, you

(35:01):
still like watching the games, Like why waste money? Play
your fantasy football, have fun, talk trash, make your picks
on radio. But when you lose. You might you lose
a little bit with your fans when you pick a
game poorly, but you don't actually lose lose. We have
this thing in our country that we don't want to
be told what to do. You ain't my data, right,

(35:23):
that's what we want. We have. We have dad issues
and we act like the government is a it's a
dad issue because they are managing and trying to have
us be moderate with our sports gambling problem. Craig Carton
is a is a good hum I will go to
my grave thing. He's a good human being. He did

(35:43):
this because he had a seven figure gambling debt. Seven figures.
A guy who's making seven figures, essentially the king of
sports radio in New York. He's in his fort he's
got four kids like he had. It's a lifetime appointment
on New York sports radio. Like, as long as something
like this doesn't happen, he could have dropped an F
bomb on air and still probably lived to see another day.

(36:09):
But this is what an addiction to gambling and what
debt will make you do, make you do crazy things.
And so look, I'm not telling you to not lay
money down on the lines that I tell you on Friday.
But I am telling you this, this this rush to
let's make sports and the game legal. Why can't I
bet on sports? I want to been on sports. You can't.

(36:29):
Government can't tell me what to do. I want to
be able to do it. Like okay, But there's a problem.
There's a reason that baseball doesn't allow that. Basically that
Pete Rose will never be in the Hall of Fame. Like,
you can't bet on baseball because once you start, once
you start losing. Now they got you because eventually you
get to a point when you're gambling to which what

(36:50):
was it the line from top Gun. You're writing checks
that your body can't cash. Are you gonna cash? Yeah?
They're really bad for his uh, for his family. They're
really bad for Craiggy, but bad deal. Seinfeld making a comeback. Yeah,

(37:11):
my my attention just spiked. Right. Real news are fake news?

(37:31):
Fox Sports Radio. All right, Uh, there's some great stuff
in here. I want to get to Let's bring in
Dan Buyer and play a game. Sake. This is game
time on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Dann when he got
for me, We've got today, Doug. Real news, fake news,

(37:53):
all right, better late than never? Right, Our real news
are fake news. The heroes at the Diamondbacks could be
on the verge of history tonight for setting the record
for most consecutive innings without trailing. So our real news
are fake news. I'm gonna go real news and they're spectacular. Yeah.
The Snakes haven't trailed since August in a game against

(38:14):
the Giant. San Francisco took a one nothing lead in
the second, Arizona got the lead back at the bottom
of the third with four runs and haven't trailed since.
They've been tied but haven't trailed. That's nine innings ago,
Doug the all time record one and three innings. If
they don't trail in l A to the Dodgers for
the first five, they'll match it, and for the first
six it will be theirs to themselves. I'd love to

(38:35):
say this is important, but it's really not important. I
know baseball has been around more than a hundred years
and setting a record in baseball is supposed to be
really prestigious. What's really important was Terry toy Lavulo joined us,
he's the manager, joined us yesterday. UM, and they had
this winning streak and this haven't trailed streak, and we
were very concerned because he said, this is the first
radio interview, only radio interview he's done since the streak began. Thankfully,

(38:59):
they one in the tenth inning, Real news are fake news, Doug.
While one son of New Caves guard Asaiah Thomas was
happy that his dad was gonna play with Lebron James,
the other was sad to leave Boston because while he
was afraid Cleveland didn't have good clam chowderers that real
news are fake news. That sounds like you know what,
kid likes clam chowder. Um. His son Jaden, though, was

(39:20):
afraid that Cleveland wouldn't have skate parks. That's why he
was sad of leaving Boston, not because of the city,
but because Boston has skate parks. As Isaiah Thomas revealed
in his Players Tribune, whatever you Gotta do to get
kids to to make it was a fifteen page Players
Tribune right, fifteen page like you know, I had this
really great best class ever took was Monk Malloy Tadde,

(39:42):
the president of Notre Dame. Had to be more than
a page less than two. Uh, that's really a really
good word of advice for the next person right in
the players. That was longer than Rachel's letter on friends.
Real news are fake news? Wait, we're on break. Cardinal
Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has told the posing dps
to hit him high instead of low, and if they

(40:03):
get fine for it, he'll pay it for them. Is
that real news or fake news? And Spectacular Lion safety
Glover Quinn revealed or blue Fitzgerald's cover, saying that it's
something Fitzgerald has done to some dbs, including him back,
what about not hit them in the head and not
hit them in the knees? That and see what you're hitting.

(40:23):
I don't don't tackle me at all. And I was like,
Lebron wouldn't be a good football player. He doesn't want
to get hit. Like, tell me which guy does want
to get hit? Real news are fake news? Doug. Finally,
an NBA or excuse me, an FBI investigation into a
fake architect was tabbed Operation vandal La Industries in New
York State? Is that real news or fake news? YEA

(40:46):
for four a guy by the name of Get This
Paul Newman. Yes. Newman sentenced to two and a half
to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to six felonies,
including grand larceny and fraud. Also must pay a hundred
grand and rested Ustan So a guy named Newman being
a fake architect, had the case tabbed Vandalis Industry. The
import and expert is game Time on the Dug Gottlieb Show.

(41:15):
Ray Lewis started his showtime career last night and he
let us in on why Colin Kaepernick was not signed
balt by the Baltimore Ravens. Ironically, is the exact reason
we told you he would not be signed by the
Baltimore Ravens. And the craziest thing about it is the
people close enough to Kaepernick to help him are actually

(41:38):
hurting him. We'll discuss next in the Doug Gotlieb Show.
Boom Up America, Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio, I
Heart Radio app x M Channel eighty three, and at
least for the next ten minutes Facebook Live, We're doing
this one on Facebook Live Facebook Live. My father is
going crazy crazy. I tell you he handles our digital

(41:58):
stuff for so you if you didn't hear this, you
don't hear all of it. It's really really good. Tell
a friend, Tell a friend, or have him check it
out on on Facebook. Um Ton Kaepernick still not employed
and everyone is complaining about like, I'm not gonna stop
you from watching NFL games and though there look, is

(42:18):
it logical to conclude that he's better than some guys
who are on rosters. Sure, but look when we we
talked about this all the time in the show. You
gotta have a rabbi in the room. You gotta have
somebody who believes in you, that has worked with you previously.
And the team that seem to have a need for

(42:40):
a backup quasi starter, that had people that had worked
with or had a brother that had worked with Colin Kaepernick.
It all made sense. Was the Baltimore Ravens. Joe Flacco
wasn't great last year coming off the a c O injury.
Joe Flacco has got a bad back. Joe Flacco was
missing reseason games and missing preseason stabs. And Ryan Mallett

(43:03):
was their second is their second string quarterback. In addition
to Greg Roman running their offense, who previously was offensive
coordinator of the San Francisco for the Nags when Colin
Kaepernick was the quarterback, and John Harbaugh brother Jim Harbaugh
obviously knows Colin Kaepernick really, really well. Like all of
these things seem to fit you. Like what I said

(43:27):
at the time was this was his best and possibly
the last chance of getting a gig as a backup quarterback. Now, look,
he could still get a gig if, for example, the
Seahawks lose Russell Wilson. I don't know if you guys
saw Trayvon Boykin was cut, Austin Davis was capt Boykin,
and people are like, well, Kaepernick is better than Boykin.

(43:47):
Maybe he is. They like Austin Davis better, who started
a couple of games for the Rams member a couple
of years ago in St. Louis and wasn't terrible. And
I think last year he might have started with the
Cleveland Browns. And so look, if if Russell Wilson goes down,
could they reach out, Yeah, that that wouldn't that would
make sense. If Dak Prescott went down, would that make sense? Sure?

(44:12):
The problem is that. And this is where Kaepernick is smart.
He doesn't want to be a backup. He don't want
to sit there. Why when he can be everybody's backup,
every waiting, completely waiting. But the bigger issue is that
Baltimore was his best shot of getting up, landing at

(44:32):
a place where people knew him and had worked with him,
and that went away. Look, Miami wasn't a great shot.
It wasn't just because of the cat, because of the
Castro shirt and because of the Pig Cops socks. But
the Castro shirt heard him in Miami, sure. But what
it hurt him even more was that Jay Cutler was available,

(44:52):
and Jay Cutler had worked with Adam Gaze. So Baltimore
made said only what did I tell you? At the
time his girlfriend tweeting out a picture of meme of
Ray Lewis hugging Steve Baschatti and comparing it to the

(45:14):
scene from Django and Change where Samuel L. Jackson is
a loyal house slave to to Leo Leonardo DiCaprio, who's
a cruel plantation character in the movie. Like dude that
you're essentially calling, uh, you're calling Steve Bischotti a slave owner, right,

(45:36):
and you're calling ray Lewis house and that's what you're doing.
Take a listen to what ray Lewis said last night
on Inside the NFL in regards to what actually happened
inside the Baltimore Ravens front office when that tweet came out.
His girl goes out and puts out this racist yes, sir,

(45:58):
and doesn't know to be here. Who's girl whose later
Colin Kaepernick? That she doesn't know. We're in the back
office about to about to try to get this guy
to sign. Steve Shot, he said itself, how can you
crucify ray Lewis when ray Lewis is the one calling
for Colin Kaepernick. We were going to close the deal
to sign him, to sign him. All we wanted to

(46:19):
hear was here Colin Kaepernick speak. Did you ever hear
him space? Steve Shot said, I want to hear Colin
Kaepernick speak to let me know that he wants to
play football. And because of that picture comes out the
next day for that to tweet, Tart to tweet, then
he's flying him to Baltimore. I'm sitting with all three

(46:42):
of those and we're all having a conversation about bringing
Colin Kaepernick if not for that tweet, He's flying to
Baltimore and the three of us are having a conversation.
By the way, he also said that Colin Kaepernick has
never spoken and said he wants to play football. Quarterback
is a position of leadership. You have to have control
over the locker room. And if you can't control your
girlfriend from tweeting something out which is incredibly divisive and incendiary,

(47:08):
then how are you going to control the locker room?
Where is the leadership from Colin Capit? What's amazing? Like
he started a movement in the NFL, no question, and
I thought he said some moronic things. Uh, during the
first couple of months of this protest. You go back
and there are things that he said which were incendiary.

(47:29):
He didn't want to take a side in the election.
He didn't want to say anything thoughtful in terms of
the election process in the most discussed election in modern
American history. He chose to their both liars. I want
nothing to do with it. Like, Okay, dude, you're taking
a political stance and then you're choosing to be a
political in the biggest election in our lives. And you know,

(47:50):
if you want to be a leader lead. You want
to make a change, help make a change, and I'm
not being critical of him donating money to help to
help that change, but there has not been any Hey,
I want to play football. I want to lead this thing,
but I also want to lead a football team. We
don't know Adam Schefter at when he opted out of

(48:10):
his contract in San Francisco. In fairness, damn, he opted
out because they were gonna cut him. When he opted
out of his contract, Adam Schefter reported he wasn't gonna
protest anymore. He wasn't gonna kneel before the flag. We
haven't heard even Colin Kaepernick say that. But the bigger
takeaway is that what Ray Lewis is pointing out is
these people that think they're his friends that are helping him.

(48:31):
The demonstration from Spike Lee and other groups in New
York City, Do you think that's helping You're an NFL
owner and you're like, look, I'd like to sign him,
but what happens if I don't play him? And what
happens if I cut him? And what if you're the starter?
You're the starter and you don't play, well, do you
want some sort of demonstration? We're not playing Colin Kaepernick
now and we know why he's not playing. I look,

(48:59):
I know that most people don't enjoy being called names
like I don't like being labeled. You're a liberal, you're
a conservative. We call people names, uh so that when
we can categorize them, it's easier, but too want to
ruffle their fence a little bit. But if all the

(49:19):
things you don't want to be called, which is kind
of defenselessness, You don't want to be called a racist,
or you don't want to be called a house you
know what if you're really Lewis you just don't like
called being called like what's my defense for you? Or
you're a racist? Like, well, no, I'm not, And I
can't go the I have black friends thing, because then
you sound like George Costanza. Remember you had the black
friend be my black friend. Well I'm not a racist.

(49:46):
I'm not. What's your defense. I'm just not. It's an
indefensible thing that you can say, like, oh do I
have to don't like, don't any money to a cause?
Does not make me not a racist? And so if
Steve Bashatti, who employs two people who are probably championing
championing your cause, John Harball, Greg Roman, and the team

(50:10):
needs you, and you have, uh the type of team
to which players are allowed to be personalities. And look,
it's not like the Baltimore Police has been some bright
and shining object. They have major, major issues and so
you could help be a beacon of change in that city.
But dude, you didn't. Kaepernick didn't say or do anything wrong.

(50:33):
But he didn't say or do anything period. And then
he's allowing people to speak for him that don't know
how to handle this thing. I mean, do you think
there's a corporation in the world who's gonna want to
hire somebody who's when the girlfriend who's by the way,
like a media figure, like she's on FM's FM DJ.

(50:54):
Do you think they're gonna enjoy being called a racist
or a house you know what by somebody else, like
know that, you know what they'll say, pass Like somebody's
gonna go like they saw the picture? Is that Django
and change? Samuel Jackson, Okay, now I want him, Now

(51:15):
I want that in my locker room. At first that
was Steve A. Schotti was like pray for us, which
I don't really know what that means, but I think
it meant We're thinking it over, trying to figure this
thing out. How do we do it and not completely
screw ourselves up with with with the businesses and with

(51:35):
the police, and with how do we not make this
into a circus. We're thinking about it. She puts that
tweet out there like, yeah, I can't do it. I
can't do it if this is when we haven't signed,
Like you know what this reminds me of, um Glenn Rice.
Glenn Rice Michigan National Champiship Glenn Rice Miami than Glenn
Rice was with the Lakers when the Lakers won back

(51:56):
to back to back titles during during the first NBA
Finals they were in during the you know the three
Pete that Kobe and Shock hat. Do you guys remember
Glenn Rice's then I think it was his girlfriend, maybe
a wife. She criticized Phil Jackson during the finals and
Phil brushed it off right, and Glenn Rice like what

(52:18):
you know, like she didn't really speak for me. That's
just do you ever Glenn Rice on the second championship team?
You know, no, not so much. And you can say, well, well,
Jasil called out, called out. You know, Tom Brady's teammates
are not holding on the football Woker could have hold

(52:39):
on the third down past the bucker was not a
great pass. It was it had to be a great catch,
but you know he didn't catch it. Tom Kaepernick is
not Tom Brady. He also, though critical of teammates, was
not critical of ownership and did not call anybody a
racist or a house And so they said, well the
kind I thought catch the ball at the same time.

(53:04):
And she's a supermodel, Like, we gotta know what the
supermodel thing is, right, she hasn't eaten in months. She's
a little bit ground. She everybody's always told her she's beautiful.
Things don't go her way. She's gonna throw a fit
pass on that one. You know what they say about
every time you see a beautiful woman, Right, there's a
guy who's tired yet, right, you know that one. I
don't think that's really I don't actually think that. I

(53:24):
don't know it. Is it still cheating if everyone's doing it?
The famous question we'll discuss in a moment for first,
are you hiring? Do you know where to post your
job to find candidates? It's not that there aren't people
out of work. It's not that there aren't jobs available.

(53:45):
It's how do you find the right candidate for your job?
You're like, that makes sense. I got the answer for you.
Zip Recruiter was zipp recruiter. You can post your job

and enjoying more confident car buying experience. Doug Otlip Show,
Fox Sports Radio. Rick Bucker is gonna join us in
one hour. In one hour, but he has a He
has a column out on uh Bleacher Report in which
he basically writes that the tampering that the Lakers were

(55:12):
found guilty of and punished to the tune of five
hundred thousand dollars in Magic Johnson's like, I got that
my wallet. Here you go, it's out of my salary.
I saw Rob Polinka earlier today. By the way, I
didn't ask him about the awesome at the Taper're gonna
see him tomorrow. Asked about the tampering thing. See if
the's anybody he wants me to recruit from Lakers. I'm
really good recruiters anyway. Um. But what's interesting about it is,

(55:38):
while some would think that Magic Johnson's approach to recruiting
Paul George was bush league, Rick Buker talked to executives
in the NBA who said, actually, the opposite is true.
The Pacers calling out the Lakers on recruiting players who
are still under contract is the bush league thing. What
are they so mad about. This happens all the time,
like USA Basketball, that's all it is. Years ago, Adrian Warzernowski,

(56:04):
who now works for ESPN WOA he wrote a story
about how most college basketball coaches don't like that Mike
Tachevski is coach of USA Basketball because he controls USA basketball,
who who gets selected to even practice with Team USA,
and that they use as an enticer in recruiting, and

(56:27):
they should use as an enticer in recruiting. So um,
I think it's fascinating that apparently this happens all the time.
It's like a little trade secret, little trade secret. One
former GM said, if you're not cheating by the letter
of the law, you're not trying a current Eastern Conference GM.

(56:49):
If you don't get free agents without it, without tampering,
it's what the whole league is built upon. That's the
only way to get anything done. One called it bush league,
that the Pacers called them on it without some hard evidence.
Also have presumed that Herb Simon was simply too I
rate about George's proclamation that he would leave in free agency.
To let him go quietly, you better be careful what
you asked for. That kind of disclosure becomes a two

(57:10):
way street. You want, uh, you sure? You want the
league to look at every phone call, every email that
you've sent. How many names flash across the ticker two
hours after midnight saying they've agreed to a four year,
sixty four million dollar deal. You think that got negotiated
in ten minutes. If you're If you're an agent and
you wait until July one to find out your your
client's options, you're going to get fired. You'll be sitting

(57:33):
there waiting for your client's options while they're falling off
the table. Maybe more interesting is the fact that Mitch
cup Check serving the Lakers front office for thirty one years,
the last seventeen is GM what hurt Mitch was. He
played strictly by the rules. He would call you at
midnight and start a free agency and he'd be weeks
or a month behind. Here's the problem with the everybody's

(57:56):
doing it. It's not cheating. This is what it happens. Um.
Do you guys remember the Sports Illustrated story about my
moder oclum State and what was supposed to be going
on in college football? Did you guys? It was like
a five part online series and by the time they
got to the fifth part, like well this there's these
guys are a lot. There's so many holes and there's
It was. One of the stories was from players who

(58:19):
were no longer at oculum state, like well, you don't
have to go to class. They do work for you.
And then upon further discovery like those players have flunked out,
Like wait, they do work for you, but you flunked out,
so they don't do your work right. You get away
with drug failing drug tests and they do for the
research Like wait a second, you got kicked out for
using drugs, so I thought you got to go. Well,

(58:40):
not me, but other guys. This is what happens when
dudes like I can't believe everybody's doing Wait, Mitch cup Check,
the Lakers have gotten free agents before Mitch cup Check
lost his job, among other things, because they didn't get
the Chris Paul trade done right. They get the Chris
Paul trade. History changes in the NBA dramatically. Kobe Bryant

(59:04):
got hurt and the owner decided to give Kobe Bryant
a contract before he'd ever even rehabbed, like all of
those things they trade for Steve Nash, that was a
terrible trade, but they did pull off a trade, assigning
trade for Steve Nash. Terrible trade, but they did it
within the rules. They got Dwight Howard, they got what
they want. They just Steve Nash barely played because he

(59:24):
was hurt. Dwight Howard was a bad fit with Kobe
Bryant was never as good as he was when he
was in Orlando. Right, So I love the idea that, hey,
everybody's doing it now. If you want to say tampering
is relationships on Team USA and guys using those relationships
to recruit grout their teammates, sure, but out now tampering calling, texting,

(59:47):
guys recruiting them while they're under contract or playing for
another team. Like, I don't think that happens everywhere. And
if if you think it does and that lands you players,
I can give you point after point that tells you
that's not how Champ chips or one. Lebron James wasn't
recruited to go back to Cleveland like he even liked

(01:00:09):
the still doesn't like the owner. He kind of took
it upon himself. He's like, this is what I want
to do. I want to go back to my home area.
So yeah, things are done under the table. But even
even in this story, like you can offer a guy
a Range Rover, Like, if you're making forty million dollars

(01:00:31):
a year, you don't need somebody to buy you a
hundred thousand dollar car. And if you do well and
you're dope anyway, I'm not sure I wanted you right,
you're like Range Rover, already get three, We'll give you
another one, Okay. I mean, like, look, rich people do
like free stuff. Everybody who doesn't like free stuff? I
like free stuff. Free stuff is great. That's why I

(01:00:54):
love shopping on the weekends. You go shopping on the weekends,
and they always got this people giving you free stuff,
free samples. How many samples there is too many to
take from the same person or just in general, I
would say no more than two, No more than two.
I have violate that everything. Do you ever take a
to take a sample or two? Delicious? But then you're like,

(01:01:15):
do you want to buy? Like no, I bought some
kind of salted butter. I got cocked into salted butter
last week. You guys know, I love grocery store shopping.
I love one of my fun It is really fun.
I really enjoyed. I actually really enjoyed. Like last night,
my wife, my kids, my daughter's first day as of school.
It was today was someone's yesterday, and I was like, oh,

(01:01:36):
we need stuff for lunches, Like I'll go, so you
wait till I wait till everybody goes asleep. Like my
my house, there's nothing going on my house. After nine,
my wife knocked out. Kids are like eight. My son
was out like eight. He had like first full day
of school. Who's up early? He's super excited than he
had football and basketball afterwards, Like he was wiped out
Tacos in the middle, Taco Tuesday. Of course we love

(01:01:58):
taco So he was out of like eight o'clocks, Like
nine are like, nobody's up and I can just go
to the grocery store and just like what and Tuesday's
Do you know what Tuesday is the grocery store. No,
it's not discount ramos. I couldn't um dan dan dan buyer.
Do you know what Tuesday is? At the grocery store,
they generally restocked Tuesday night, so you'll get the freshest

(01:02:20):
meats and cheeses, right, you get all the fresh stuff,
not fish, but like chicken steak and like cheese is
like anything that needs to be refreshed all this Tuesday,
and then you know, they go through all every aisle.
So if you go like after eight o'clock at night,
you actually get stuff fresh off fresh off the boat,
if you will. So I'm going through and I'm just
checking everything out. And I told you I only buy

(01:02:42):
stuff that's on special. And it was amazing. Sat there
and just stared at all the peanut butter. I love
peanut butter. I love peanut butter. I'll try that peanut
butter anyway. Yes, every ever tried cutting candy grapes? No
what you guys don't know about this, But you guys

(01:03:04):
don't know really cotton candy grapes, cotton candy grapes, fire.
You've never tried cotton candy. I've never even heard of it,
let alone. There are grapes that you can get that
tastes like cotton candy. Now is that the scientific name?
I mean, you taste and they taste like cotton candy.
I'm not kidding. And their actual grapes they're not like

(01:03:26):
some now they used to be. I believe initially they
were genetically modified GMO grapes. Right, But now you go
and the cotton candy grapes say, sands GMO, no GMO.
So somehow there's this place on Earth where they grow
grapes that taste like cotton candy. And I'm telling you,
they taste like cotton candy, and so they're literally displayed

(01:03:47):
in the grocery store called cotton candy grapes. I've never
seen that. Yeah, there's also moondrop grapes. You ever gotten
moondrop grapes. They're like really deep purple and they look
like grapes came red and green. They do that. Moon
drop grapes are deep purple. Cotton candy grapes are green,
but they taste like cotton candy. Huh. I've never seen.

(01:04:11):
But somehow they've created. We can't cure the common cold, cancer,
still a blight on society, all these problems, but somebody
has has created a grape that tastes like cotton. Can't
grapes that tastes like cotton candy and are not genetically modified.
I don't know how that exists. Speaking of Dan Bire,
let's catch up, and he was doing the news watching
these wild card races in the American League because there's
a lot of action going on this afternoon. Twins are

(01:04:33):
a half game back of the Angels, but Minnesota just
about to close out the Tampa Bay raised ten six
in the bottom of the ninth inning. Minnesota was a
half game back. If they close it out, they'll be
even with the Angels, who right now are scoreless. With
the Aid's in the top of the third inning. You've
got Texas hanging around as well. They're just two games
back of the Angels. Texas right now taking it to

(01:04:53):
the Braves twelve five in the top of the eighth inning.
Brewers were swept by the Reds, losing the finaley today
seven one. Milwaukee's now fall three back of the Rockies.
In the NL Wild Car Chase Buccaneers Dolphins game scheduled
for Miami this Sunday is gonna be moved postponed until
November nineteenth, that's week eleven. They'll still play the game
in Miami, but Hurricane Irma forcing both teams now to

(01:05:13):
heavy bide this week. Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Didn't practice today because of an injured ankle. Giants faced
the Cowboys on Sunday night. Well, Brown's defensive end and
rookie and first overall pick, Miles Garrett, suffered an ankle
injury in practice today, did not finish the workout. No
word on his status for Sunday's opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
And finally they're gonna dive into this, the Seahawks defensive

(01:05:36):
end Michael Bennett claiming Las Vegas police racially profiled him
and used excessive force when he was handcuffed on August.
All right, let's get into that Michael Bennett thing. Okay,
have you guys seen the video yet? Um? Yes, okay,
So Dan buy are just your your honest opinion when
you see the video. I was disturbed. I didn't know
what was going on. Why are you? Why are you disturbed?

(01:05:59):
Let's so just for people haven't seen the video, and
it's out there everywhere on the internet and um on
on the Twitter sphere as well. Um. The video is
Michael Bennett laying on the ground saying he was just
he was with friends. He's like, I'm with friends. Everybody
told us to run and there's a police been handcuffing
and that that's all we see in the video. Yeah,

(01:06:21):
I'm not necessarily necessary, I should say, familiar with that
sort of thing. That's not a thing that I've seen
a lot. And I would think that if I'm in
Michael bennett shoes, that if a policeman is got his
knee on my back and handcuffing me when I've done
nothing wrong, I think I would feel um, very very weird.
It would be awkward. I don't. Well, obviously he was misidentified.

(01:06:43):
So here's what happens. Mayweather, I'm a Gregor fight. Uh,
there's noises that sound apparently like gunfire afterwards, and of course,
if you remember, like Tupac was killed after a Mike
Tyson fight, there's there's there could be a rough crowd
after after after fan after a boxing match, after m
M M A matt and so there's always kind of
some sort of fear of this sort of thing. So

(01:07:04):
Michael Bennett, I think was was he running or was
he actually in the car? He was running? Yeah, he
said that there were about two people that thought that
they heard gunshots and he just ran like everybody else. Right,
So the police stopped him and they wanted to cuff him,
and like, I guess here's the problem. That's what it
looks like when you get handcuffed and you're like, well,

(01:07:24):
he did nothing wrong. He did and they released him.
But there's a possibility. We haven't heard from Las Vegas
Police department. We don't know if he fits, if you
fit the profile of a suspect in the shooting or
in something else, right, and like it's not like like
we all we always think of it the human side
of it, from the human being who's being handcuffed, and
we don't think of it from the human side of
the police officer who's doing the handcuffing. Like you can't

(01:07:46):
just say, like, sir, can you please just stop there
and don't do anything? Like they operate in a world
to which you don't know if that guy has a gun,
guy has a knife. You don't know if this guy
is a criminal or if he's an absolute angel. So
I you know, there's there's a lot here that we
don't know. But I didn't think the video the video wasn't.
They weren't kicking him, they weren't holding a gun to

(01:08:07):
his head. They were they were doing what police officers
do when they handcuffed somebody, to try and understand what's
going on and seeing the crime so that they can't
lose control of it. That that's I think that's the problem.
I don't I didn't take that at all from it.
I took it as and maybe it's because we know
Michael Bennett and that could be a different story for
a different day of how many suspects match what an

(01:08:28):
NFL defensive lineman would be a six three guy that's
two hundred and seventy pounds, and and I mean, I'm
just saying that that body type probably wouldn't be like
everybody else, so we're not supposed So what's what we're
saying is you can't profile him because he's black, But
it's okay to profile and go, oh you play in
the NFL. Cool, You're free to go, right, That's not like, no,

(01:08:50):
I'm just saying if there's a suspect, I mean, if
if if the suspect comes out that a seventy pounds,
then well it doesn't have to be two hundred seventy,
Like you can't tell him. I don't do the circus
thing with the judging out some of these ways, right,
But like if you are trying to figure out if
a guy is a suspect in a crime and he's
six ft four, two hundred and forty pounds. You can't

(01:09:15):
subdue him by asking him politely to be you know,
you know what I mean, like, what do you? I
don't understand what you're supposed to give? But I think
he fully cooperated with what was going on. I know,
but police, the police is my point. Police procedure, just
police procedure. Police procedure is probably too. When the guy's
laying on his back, you put your knee in their
back so that they can't move, like the thing they

(01:09:36):
do with your thumb, which hurts super bad. You have
been put into handcuffs. However, the thing they do, they
do it so that you cannot resist arrest, so that
you're you're defenseless. They do it for a reason though,
so that you can't fight them off, because they can't
go for their gun when they're when they're when they're
putting you in handcuffs. Alright ahead. My point is is
I am not used to seeing someone being handcuffed and

(01:10:00):
put on the ground with a kneed of their back
and being handcuffed. Knowing what I know about Michael Bennett
and the player that he is, and now the the
his version of the story which happened two weeks ago.
Knowing what I knew, watching that video makes me very uncomfortable,
knowing that Michael Bennett didn't do anything wrong. So when
you asked me how I felt about it, I said

(01:10:21):
I felt uncomfortable because then dow, Michael Bennett didn't do
anything wrong. And so Michael Bennett's being arrested on the
street with a cop on his need of his back
handcuffing him when he didn't do anything wrong. And I'm
just thinking, if it's anybody out there that happened to
that would stink that that would be awful. I would
not want that to happen to me. But again, let's
let's take the let's take the police officers perspective for

(01:10:43):
a second. Okay, there is there's gunfire. Guys, didn't ask
me about the police officer's perspective. Though you asked me
how I felt. I understand. But because that's what we're
that's what we're prone to do, is we're prone to
think because it's Michael Bennett and because or any human being,
we don't actually think of the police officers perspective. Look,
and I'm again, I'm against police brutal like the stuff

(01:11:04):
you see in Baltimore where they're planting evidence, Like that's disgraceful.
You should never be a police officer ever. Again right,
And I do wonder why they teach police officers to
shoot to kill always. I'm sure they have a logic
behind it, but there are times in which there was
a police there There was a man in New York
who was wielding a knife who was shot. He was
I was a woman who was shot and killed, but

(01:11:25):
she was wheeling a knife, Like why couldn't she just
shoot her in the foot? Like I don't I don't
really know the answer to why do you have to
shoot her in the knee when if she has a knife,
she's coming after you just shoot her in the foot.
She'll fall down and then take the knife from her,
Like I don't know. That seems easy to me. A
lot of this is about how they're trained, and I
don't know what the reason is. But what I'm saying
is this, to me, this is this is what it

(01:11:46):
looks like when somebody is handcuffed. This is how they
do it. And I actually understand a cost perspective of
there's a wild scene after a fight, guys go running.
I don't know if they were looking for a suspect.
I don't I haven't heard from the place. I don't
know the logic behind why they stopped Michael Bennett, what
he said to get himself cuffed beforehand, or whatever. I
feel terrible because Michael Bennett is a dude who's like,

(01:12:09):
of all the people that you don't want to do
this too. This is the guy that's been trying to
call for social change. Right on the other hand, like
you're a cop, you don't know all this. All you're
trying to do is get control of the scene, and
you're taught when you when you get somebody you might
suspect of a crime, you you have them laid down,
you put their knee in there, your back, and you
tell them not to move because if they move, you
don't know what's in their pocket. You don't know what's

(01:12:31):
in their billfold, you don't know what's in their ankle.
And just like we haven't, we don't. We haven't lived
at cops life where they you make a mistake and
you allow somebody the freedom to go. No, hey, I
wasn't every guy they've ever arrested says they weren't doing anything,
just there, just so we're aware. Every person who's ever
it's like they say in Shawshank Redemption, everyone in here

(01:12:53):
is innocent, right, Like, so I'm not saying that Michael
Bennett was done right. It was a case of mistaken
identity and it does look bad. On the other hand,
I also understand it's a really hard job to be
a police officer. And everyone you ever put into handcuffs
said he didn't do anything wrong, and oh, please loosen
up those, please loosen up those uh those those handcuffs. Well,
I just like, like my issue and I I agree

(01:13:16):
with Like if if someone you know, broke into my
house and there was there was a there was a
thief for a robber that came into my house and
the cops there and came in and they brought the
guy over, grabbed him in the living room and then
pulled him aside and started talking to him. I would
be like, what in the world are you doing? You know,
this guy was just in our house, maybe had a weapon.
I would feel like, why wasn't he subdued or handcuffed? What?

(01:13:39):
I get all that, But we watch on high speed
chases in l A. When there's a car that's driving
for how many hours? And what happens. You've got eight
cops behind them. Now, there wasn't the number of cops
that you would have on a high speed chase, but
it's the same thing. They cuff them up, They put
him be on his back when we know a guy
has been driving a hundred on the fifty seven for
the last hold on. Now, they try and ram those

(01:14:01):
cars and when those guys hop out of the cars,
they beat the living hell out of those guys. I mean,
I've I've seen ones to where they're not they're not.
They don't go like, okay, come sit in the cop car.
They beat the crap out of those guys. And they do. Now,
they're also very cautious because they don't know if those
guys have a gun, and they don't want them to
kill themselves. Right, So, but I I disagree with you
the idea that we see these high speed police chases.

(01:14:21):
Where where have you seen guys be handcuffed on a
daily basis? That's like, that's my that's my point on
it is. I don't my world. I don't understand this
is what it looks like, when somebody gets arrested, this
is what it looks like. That's all you heard. That's
that That's what it looks like when anybody gets arrested
on the street. It's it's a bad deal. It looks

(01:14:43):
like the was the James Blake thing in New York, right,
or James Blake was misidentified as a suspect and the
cops took him to the ground the top side to
apologize that it became this whole big thing. But I mean,
the fact was that the cop at the time, he
they thought he fit the he fit the uh description
of a suspect in the area. I'm like, again, this
is this is the world that cops live in. This

(01:15:05):
is the world that cops live in. And I didn't
say it's okay, but they're trained for a reason. Ted Taylor,
he's woke on Twitter. I'll bet he's got ten thousand tweets.
Pretty sure. Gottlieb Show wishes he'd stop talking right now. No,
I'm talking from honest perspective. I feel bad for Michael
Bennett for being misidentified as a suspect, but I also

(01:15:26):
don't know, because I haven't heard from the police officers
why they handcuffed him to begin with, because I'm guessing
it's proper police procedure when you handcuffed somebody and they're
laying on the ground, to put your knee in their
back so that they can't move, because that he could
physically overwhelm. Michael Bennett is a big dude, and if
he wasn't a super nice guy, he could beat the

(01:15:47):
crap out of a smaller police officer period. By the way,
the cop is not white this year, where so we
don't know if he fits the description. We don't know
the reason behind it, and we never take into account
what why was the cop doing what he was doing
and was he simply doing what he was trained, which,
by the way, Ice Cube joined us from Las Vegas
and he was like, look, I think some of this

(01:16:09):
is police tactics, not the police themselves, how they're taught
to handle certain situations. To star running backs in the
NFL or on NFL teams, Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch,
who will have a better season, will discuss next. But first,

So here's what TMZ reports that Dan Buyer and I
were just having a discussion over the treatment of Michael

(01:17:56):
Bennett in that video. TMZ says sources uh connected with
the investigation. When cops responded to the possible shooting at
the club, they ordered everyone to get down and not
to move so they could properly search and investigate. We're
told that Bennett did not stay put. Instead, he ran
and a cop outside the clubs stopped him and ordered
him down at gunpoint. So say that Bennett was detained

(01:18:16):
until cops could determine he was not involved any possible
criminal activity, and he was released again. Like you're a cop,
you go in. Everyone's told, you know, freeze, get on
the ground and don't move, and people get up and
they run and like, look, I'll be honest with you.
Somebody pulls a gun at a club where I think
there's a gun at a club, I'm running. I remember

(01:18:40):
I was in high school and somebody pulled a gun
at a party on New Year's Eve, and I was gone.
I was ghost. I hopped over the backyard fence, was
in somebody else's backyard, hopped over that fence, and I
was gone. I ran around the block to get my car,
and I any want. I want nothing to do with it. Right.
So I understand why Michael Bennett ran, But I also
understood why app sees a large man running from a

(01:19:02):
club where people were told to stop, drop and freeze,
and he doesn't that. It's your job to make sure
that he's not involved, search him, detain him. When you
determine that he's not a suspect, you allow him to go.
Was he a little over zealous? Possibly? The problem is
if you're a police officer and you you underdo it

(01:19:24):
and you got the wrong you've got the guy who
is the problem, you run the risk of losing your
life or losing control the situation. So I'm sorry, but please,
pretty please doesn't work with bad people. It just doesn't.
I wish everybody was a responsible adult like Michael Bennett is,

(01:19:44):
but he also like, like we're told you're supposed to
listen to cops commands. The problem is when you listen
to the commands and they don't do what they're supposed
to do. Let's play with the fox. Say say there
are two star running backs in the NFL on new teams,
Adrian Peterson Marshawn Lynch. Who's gonna have a better season.

(01:20:04):
Let's take a listen. I believe Adrian Peterson is going
to have a big year in New Orleans, a little
bigger year than Marshawn Lynch as has as he goes
home to Oakland to play for the Raiders, and he
has played only twenty of the last possible forty eight games.
So I think you would agree on one point, he's
gonna be fresh. Whatever he's got left is gonna be fresh,
left right, And he is thirty two years of age,

(01:20:27):
and Adrian Peterson in the weight room is the one
guy I don't bet against. Adrian Peterson has as good
a chance at running back of beating Father Time as
Tom Brady has at quarterback of beating Father time. If
anybody can do it at running back, this young man,
and he's still a young man can well. Look. I
will tell you that I've been told by multiple people

(01:20:49):
in the NFL Adrian Peterson looks great, great, and I
think he's gonna have a good year. I don't think
either is gonna have a big year. Marshall Lynch behind
a really good offensive lines more of a a pass
blocking offense line, but a very good offensive line. Although
I think there's a better chance that Marshawn Lynch is
washed than Adrian Peterson. The the the the What limits

(01:21:10):
Adrian Peterson is He's gonna share the load. They got
three backs, three really really good backs, and they do
like to throw it. Now. Uh, New Orleans does not
have does not have great pass catching wide receivers, more
big bodied guys they can throw the ball up to,
so I think they'll run it more than they throw it.
I think they're gonna try and control the clock and
hide the fact they don't have good linebackers. I do
tend to agree Peterson will have a better year, but

(01:21:31):
it's not because he'll have a great year. It's because
I don't think Marshall Lynch is gonna have even a
good year. And that's what the Fox says. The Gotlip
Show Fox Sports Radio. Mark says the cops first job
is to make it home that night Tail Buyer that
most of us don't know what what Michael Bennett looks
like at six three to seventy. Uh Like, I don't

(01:21:54):
know if it's just as easy as he's big and
you're supposed to be scared of somebody who's big. I
think it's or now you're getting perspective that they were
told to freeze and not move, and he didn't freeze
and not move and the cop tried to and the
cops decided or was it's his job to make him
stop and make sure that he wasn't part of the problem.

(01:22:14):
There's a lot to this, Doug, and and it makes
it sound like I'm coming off anti cop, which I'm
completely not. And I just think that there's more to this.
And when you just see the video, that was my response,
and that's what was. There's nothing. This is a show
where you're supposed to share your opinion. I'm okay with that.
I disagree because I don't think we always often take

(01:22:35):
him both perspectives of that Dan Buyer, you hear him
with the updates up next, what does the Ezekiel Elliott
suspension mean for the rest of the NFL and for
Roger Goodell's future as commissioner. I'll tell you next what up.
It's a dug Ott leave show. A ton of stuff
going on in sports. Is were a day away, one
day away from the nash to Football League one Ramos

(01:22:59):
one one day away. Fantastic, so fired up? So ready,
hope you are to welcome into the Doug got Leap Show.
This is the non satellite We love our affiliates on
terrestrial radio. And you're like, do I have a terrestaurant radio?
Are you sitting in your car? You see that radio?
You have a terrestaed radio. There you go. You're listening
to us or you can let's do us on the
I Heart app. And if you or your friends want

(01:23:21):
to listen to the show, its entirety the best of
download the Doug Gotleap Show podcast daily. We got the
best of hour by hour. Um. I even think we
have a podcast available where they just take six second
bites and plug them all together and I say kill
the devil um repeatedly. Anyway, it's a joke, not a

(01:23:42):
good one. So Zeke Yellen's gonna play Sunday night right
fired up when when the news came out that he
was suspended. My first thought was, we need to take
a breath and realize that this is a man alleged
to have struck in a woman. Detail have come out
about their relationship, which are guys crazy um. Details have

(01:24:07):
come out about Ezekiellett which are not flattering, to say
the least. On the other hand, that because of some
of the details about the things that she has said,
things that she has done, the things that she has texted,
there are there are holes in her accusations, at least
from Ezekiellett, in the nfl PAS perspective and the lead
investigator into uh into this incident. On the other hand,

(01:24:32):
the NFL ruled six games. That suspension was upheld yesterday
and now they're challenging a court so he'll he'll play
in the first game of the season. We don't know
if I play games two through seven, I don't know.
We can take it to Dallas in a second. But
I continue to think that Zeke is more likely than
not to play most of this season than he is

(01:24:53):
to sit. But he's there's some shine that's worn off
that star, and look I and I told you guys
this yesterday. This is why people settle things out of court,
because even if they didn't do something, it's better than
other details about their life becoming public. And these details
are not flattering to Zeke at all at all, um,

(01:25:16):
But to anyone who says, like, well, Roger Goodell has
got to lose that autonomous power, like, no, he doesn't.
What were they supposed to do. He had a panel
of people and they thought, you know, look, if we
don't do something to a ZEKEI Elliott will be seen
as soft on domestic violence again, and we can't have that.
That's bad for business, bad for business. And he was recommended,

(01:25:44):
it was recommended that that by the lead of the investigation.
At the lead investigator wasn't in on the conversation. The
lead of the investigation recommended that that Zeke was suspended
for six games. That's there, that's their minimum. That's the
low bar for domestic violence. But any of these people
the NFL, when they renegotiate, he's gonna lose his power. No,

(01:26:08):
he's not, because the rest of the NFL doesn't commit crimes.
They don't hit women, they don't smoke weed when they're
not supposed to. They don't. They just don't, and instead
they fight for things that matter to them. Rookie wage
scale maybe a little bit, it's more what's the minimum salary?

(01:26:28):
Can we get more guaranteed money? Can we get a
bigger split of the pot, the honey pot. Can we
get more spots on NFL rosters active rosters so that
we can keep our jobs for longer? Those things, post
career benefits are more important than Roger Goodell's power. And
people will tell you otherwise. They're just prisoners at the moment.
Let's welcome to David Moore. He works for the Dallas
Morning News. He covers the Dallas Cowboys. What's it been

(01:26:51):
like for you, Like, look, you're covering this thing, and
I know Jerry Jones was surprised. And then then there's
this appeal. Hearing the appeal takes longer than they thought.
Then there's no change in the appeal. Then now he's
gonna play this Sunday. What's this been liking Cowboys camp? Well,
this has been you're talking at this moment. Right now,
we're at fifteen months. Look, we're entering the fifteen months

(01:27:14):
that this investigation began. Do you want to put that
in a context. I believe Tom Brady UH and what
he went through with the NFL lasted a total of
fourteen months where it reached the resolution. So this has
already gone one month longer. And depending on what the
judge in Sherman, Texas, an Eastern District of Texas, rules

(01:27:34):
by five pm on Friday, this could go on for
another eight, nine, ten months. So you're looking at something
right now that could stretch over two years, depending on
whether or not this is going through his land back
in the court, much as Brakes did to determine whether
or not the FL process came going about this with

(01:27:57):
the law, and at this point is no longer than
this you of whether physical abuse should play UH. The
NFL shade UH and the courts that ruled in the
Brady case and others that Commissioner Goodell's does have the tower.
It was collectively barked and to find the players and
the owners. So that's not in question. Showing question is

(01:28:20):
whether or not there was an inherent unfairness in the
system as it was applied in the investigatory process and
the punishment phase as it was applies to a C. K.
O Elliott, and that is what the courts will now determine.
Stug Gotlin show a Fox Sports Radio David Moore joining us.
All right, so, uh, had they planned on Zeke playing

(01:28:40):
Sunday night before yesterday? Well, I actually maintained last week
week and wrote at one point last week that when
you looked at the timing of this process that there
was a scenario that could unfold where he would play
in the opener and you're actually the laying the suspension
at and how this plays out in the court. It

(01:29:02):
didn't play out exactly the way I envisioned, but it
did play out that way. Harold Henderson, who was was
the arbenter over the appeal and not ruled by the
time the court proceedings started yesterday afternoon in Texas, and
so the judge pointed, Lee asked the NFL labor lawyers
is he going to play this weekend? And they basically conceded, Okay, yeah,

(01:29:26):
let's say he plays this weekend. So this is about
going forward, so we can go ahead and have this
proceeding to your liking. So it was, yeah, I don't
want to. I don't want to. I don't know if
you want to call it a concession on the part
of the NFL labor lawyers too again yesterday's court session,
but it wasn't necessarily planned that he was going to

(01:29:48):
be off for the opener. He was going to be
allowed to play. So what happens from this point forward,
give us we'll get what happens next. Well, you have
until there's gonna be a lot of happen text in
the court. All we over the moment is is that
Elliott will play in the opener. Uh, what you're looking
at in his ability to play the remainder of the year,

(01:30:08):
will have a much better idea. In the next forty
eight hours, his hit defense team went to this court
in Texas and asked for a temporary restraining order. But
also in having the hearing, you also asked and jumped
to an injunction as well. If this judge grant an
injunction before Friday, then you're looking at a time frame

(01:30:30):
will certainly the NFL will appeal, but the time to
put together that appeal and mount a challenge to it
would take several months, of my understanding, So if he's
granted an injunction on Friday, I think there's a good
chance he plays the majority of this season and could
play until the end of the season before this resurfaces
in court. If he's granted a temporary restraining order, the

(01:30:54):
time frame is not as great. That's only buying you
two or three weeks, and it doesn't give you the
lead a cloud at an injunction would. And this still
looms over his head, sooner rather than later. If the
judge tosses it out and says, no, I'm not going
to give you a temporary restraining order or an injunction,
certainly his people would appeal to a district court right

(01:31:16):
after that in order to get him to play. That
would be a much more difficult path for them to take.
It would be more likely at that stage that the
suspension will hit very soon, possibly as soon as the
Denver game next week. Okay, Uh, let's let's say that
is the Uh. Let's let's say that he they think

(01:31:36):
he's gonna play the entire year. Who do they release? Uh? Well,
everything he sat now because he was actually on the roster. Uh,
they had to carry him on the roster because the
hearing had not been completed. Had appealed hearing, so at
a moment they would have to release no one. They
would only pick up a spot if he does enter

(01:31:59):
the reserves spending list, and then they had had another player.
They kept five running back, So there, Uh they overpopulated
if you will, at a position only assumption that he
might not be ready for this game, and they would
not have to make the rooster food. So they have
everybody on their roster at running back. Good would one? Um? Okay,
so with with that is the exception. Give me your

(01:32:20):
sense of so, now he's gonna play. This becomes a
huge game, a game they lost last year and a
team that thinks they're once a playoff team in the Giants.
Give me your sense of what we're going to see
from the Cowboys. They've they've reworked some things heading into
the season. Yeah the uh. You know, the only team
that Dak Prescott has never beat in quarterback is the

(01:32:42):
New York Giants. The Giants went the Cowboys last year
in the thirteen and free season, held them to seventeen
and nine points. No other defense came close to being
bad effective. They did a pretty good job of giving
Elliott nowhere to run. One of his worst games was
the opener last year as the Giant. Uh, they UH

(01:33:02):
confused Prescott really more than any other team did put
him back on his heel. So this is a matchup
that was not favorable to that last year. Dallas obviously
wants to make a statement early here given the fact
and still uncertain whether or not Elliott will be within
going forward, Given the facts at home, UH, and given
the fact that Vallance's offense was playing at a very

(01:33:25):
high level when the starters were round on the field
in the preseason, I would effect Alas to respond well
and have a good game. You know, it's interesting you
talk about the distractions going into this game, and I
think that's a legitimate conversation, But you can argue the
uncertainty and the anxiety that surrounded his Cowboys team was
much greater last season when they went into the opener

(01:33:46):
with what they thought was going to be a number
three developmental quarterback, a Dak Prescott taking his first start,
and a rookie running back into Zee killed Elliott. I
think there are really pure de sect distractions and pure
less are unstarted going into this season. Then there was
open or last year should be fastanding David Mooret's work

(01:34:07):
in the Dallas Morning News, Pam on Twitter as well. David,
thanks so much for joining us in the Doug Gottlich Show.
What an incredible game it's going to be, and Ezeki
Ellett is going to play as the NFL once again
finds themselves in court with one of their best players.
Up next. Up next, there's an article from Rick Bucher
in which a couple of front office people are like, tampering,

(01:34:31):
everybody tampers? But does everybody tamper? Or or is that
what guys who get caught say? We'll discuss with Brick
Puker upcoming. First, you've been waiting since February six. How
we've all been waiting since February six, Emily. Football season
is here and there's no way to get closer the
game you love than with Draft Kings one week Fantasy football.

(01:34:52):

your draft might have taken place last week, and you
might have passed on Zeki Elliott as you didn't think
he was gonna play the first six weeks of the season.
Well now you can out him. Draft Kings is hosting
a one thousand dollar contest this Sunday and it's totally

He's great on Twitter, and he's really good in the
printed word. He's Rick Brewker. He joins us on the
Doug Otlip Show here on Fox Sports RADI all right, Puke,
I'm reading your article, and I did find a little

(01:36:17):
bit of a snag, in a little bit of a flaw,
not in not in what you reported, but in what
people have said. So, uh, the the the And I
know you don't write the headlines whatever NBA tampering one
on one, if you're not cheating, you're not trying. Uh,
the Lakers will find five dollars. You called people around
the NBA and what they say about it. Essentially, what's

(01:36:39):
the big deal? Why why are the Pacers complaining about
something that everybody does. Now, there are things that are
happening today. There are means of tampering. Uh that are
they go beyond the pale, That that that people are
taking more and more extreme measures, that that there are
people in the league who find it, um, it's too much.

(01:37:00):
People are crossing the line. But the idea that that
you should have the league investigate into a tampering thing
of this nature. The assumption was, okay, well, they got
they gotta have text messages. They got to have proof
that they that that Magic Johnson and Paul George. This
is it that Magic Johnson or Rob Olincoln met directly
with Paul George. That's where the line is drawn, the

(01:37:22):
idea that the Lakers would be talking to Aaron Mints,
his agent about their interest in him. Everybody's what, what,
what's the big deal? Everybody does that? They do that
all year long. No, I agree, I guess my um,
I guess. My question becomes this, it's it's there's criticism

(01:37:43):
of Mitch cup Check. They all Mitch cup Check, probably
Enmity did everything by the book. But Mitch cup Check
didn't have a problem landing free agents like that wasn't
their problem. Like they never they were never, and it
was it was towards the end. It was the last
couple of years. And it looks it's it's a it's
a combination of one. Lakers aren't making the playoffs anymore.

(01:38:03):
Kobe gets hurt. Now. They they're not just they're not
just not making the playoffs. They sucked horrendously. Uh. They
can't get LaMarcus all Dridge, they can't get Kevin Durant,
not only are they not getting these guys, But the
reports after the fact are, uh, Man, you know, I
I wasn't that impressed with what I saw and I

(01:38:25):
only did it as a favor, and it just it
was a long way from where the way the Lakers
were once once viewed. And look, Mitch cup Check presided
over much of that time in in this in the
success that they had. But this goes to the other
aspect where you have the rules by the league and

(01:38:46):
then you have the unwritten rules of what's fair and
not fair, and uh you may have people staying on
the right side of the unwritten rules, but if Mitch
is staying on side on the right side of the
unwritten rules and the written rules. At this point, the
attraction of the Lakers, the history of the Lakers, where

(01:39:09):
people would wait, you know, you get an offer from
the Milwaukee Bucks for the Sacramento Kings. There are ages
out there like they believe that the Lakers are interested
to the Lakers have money, or they've somehow gotten an
inkling that there might be a spot form there. They're like,
let's see what the Lakers are gonna do. Let's see
if they're going to give us an offer that was
not working for for Mitch and the Lakers anymore. Brick Bucker,

(01:39:32):
joining us from Bleacher Report, also has his own radio
show on x m H Serious six eighty two were
on eighty three. Our first two hours of the show.
It's Doug out the show, Fox Sports Radio. Okay, So
now Paul George is in Oklahoma City and the it
finally became finally, I think ESPN finally reported on it.

(01:39:53):
What what I said a couple of days before the
esp report was like, we're all talking about Lebron. Why
aren't we talking about Russell Westbrook not signed that massive
contract extension? And finally now it's become kind of part
of the discussion. That's what I've heard in the NBA's like, Hey,
why don't that about Russell? What is your sense for
Russell and what he's going to do before that October deadline?

(01:40:13):
I am, I would still be surprised if he signs it.
Um now it's it's big money. Uh. And I to
be honest with you, I can't tell you definitively whether
whether he will or he won't. I don't have that
kind of information. But it begs the question if he
hasn't to this point, and they've made the move for

(01:40:36):
Paul George. They've done everything to say, hey, take a
look at this, Um, you know, where where do you
want to go? My my sense is if Paul George
isn't willing to stay, and he hasn't given any indication
of that, then Westbrook wants to keep his options open.
Who knows. Maybe ultimately, uh, those two play together. They

(01:40:58):
have a great year in Oklahoma City, and they they
both decide, you know what, let's keep riding this, let's
go someplace. But short of that, that offer is going
to continue to be there. And meanwhile he gets to
see exactly how this plays out in Oklahoma City. UM.
I think a lot of this is driven by the
fact that whether it's Lebron or it's Paul George or

(01:41:20):
it's Rust Westbrook, they want to see exactly who the
Lakers are, Like, what do the Lakers have at this point?
Who is Alonzo Ball? Where is Brandon Ingram? You know what,
how quickly can we make the move to l A
if and and and and have success If they're on
the cusp that they look at that and go, man,
I got some young talent there. That thing is ready

(01:41:41):
to take off. You could ultimate you could ultimately have
a a fight. I know Lakers fans are gonna love this.
You could actually have a fight between Paul George, Lebron,
James and Russell Westberg Hans who's gonna end up in
l a Or you could have the other thing. They
could they could say, well, they don't think they're good enough.
They cannot buy into it, you know, and and or
Russell could say, like, I need the ball my hands.
I don't want to play with Alonzo. He needs the

(01:42:01):
ball on his like everybody needs the ball in their hands,
and that becomes that becomes an issue. Um Isaiah Thomas
wrote a fifteen page dissertation on the player's tribute as
to how sad he is to leave Boston, how bad
is his hip actually? I mean he hasn't played, He
hasn't even been running in three months, uh three months

(01:42:24):
since the since the injury. And you know, the people
that I've talked to around the league, it's you know,
you don't get served. You don't necessarily not get surgery
because because it's not that bad and you think you
can rehab it. You also don't get surgery because if
you get surgery that changes. That automatically changes the way

(01:42:46):
teams view you and the type of contract that they're
going to give you, the type of the number of
years are going to give you, the amount of money
that they want to invest in you. When you have
that kind of surgery, it's a matter of when, not if,
that you have either a problem in the other hip
or that that hip failed. So I think he's doing

(01:43:07):
everything he can to come back and not have surgery
to have that done. But I can tell you as
somebody who is who is left handed as Isaiah Thomas's
and I'm not suggesting that I'm on the same on
the same level as him as an athlete, but I
had my right hip resurface. I had a right hip issue.

(01:43:28):
It changed, and I can go straight ahead twin the
things that he's doing stationary bike, I can do that
as hard as as I want. But if I got
to go laterally, that's where I'm impacted. And even having
it done and having it uh fixed, Uh, there are
still there's still a dynamic there where it's not I mean,

(01:43:51):
I don't have any pain and I can move, but
I don't I don't know that I have the exact
same range of motion, and you're talking about a guy
who's five nine who needs all of that change of
direction and range of motion to get a shot off.
If he's six or six five and he's a guard,
a little bit of a different thing. Jason Kidd, Jason
Kid had a resurfacing, uh not that long ago, but

(01:44:13):
he was dealing with that hip. Chris Mullen deal dealt
with that hip. These guys who are are big for
their size and have other ways to play the game,
they were able to get through it. I just my
great concern with Isaiah is that he needed every bit
of that agility, change of direction, explosiveness to be able

(01:44:35):
to compete at five ft nine and and he's not
going to have that, especially the right hip. Being a
left hander, that's the that's the hip that you're pushing
off of around the baskets for the most part, going
to your dominant hands. That's where you're going to be
affected in a big way. There's talk of them shopping
that Brooklyn nets picked from next year. What's what's the

(01:44:56):
value of what's the value of that pick on the
open market? Not as high as people think it is.
I know a lot of people are excited I think
you and I talked about this a little bit the
last time I was on though Michael Porter and Marvin Bagley. Um,
but you know, outside of that, First of all, you're
not guaranteed that that's the number one pick or even
the number two pick. Uh. And beyond that, I mean

(01:45:18):
outside of I think those guys are being cast a
little too high right now in terms of who they
are or what they would be at the NBA level.
And the second part is, okay, after that, what's in
this draft? So I don't know that there's that much there.
But I also do not believe at this point that
the Cleveland Cavaliers there's there's a difference between shopping it

(01:45:39):
and listening. Um, they very well maybe listening to see
if somebody gives them something that they can't refuse, but
with not without knowing what lebron James is doing. It's
not so much what you get out of that pick.
It's what you can sell to your fans no matter
what happens. Kyrie's gone, Isaiah's hurt, Lebron Us out the door.

(01:46:01):
But hey, you know what we got. We got Brooklyn's
unprotected number one pick, and that you can dangle in
front of your fans the entire season, no matter what happened.
And Doug, you know this with fans, like you can
tell them the draft not very good. You can tell
him what the percentages are that you you may not
get the number one pick, and you get the number
one pick and the number two pick, you're in big trouble.
Fans are like you have. We got an unprotected pick

(01:46:23):
with Brooklyn and it could be Marvin Bagley and he
could be the next Lebron James. I mean, that's where
the imagination goes when you have that draft pick and
there's nothing, there's no player out there that compares to
the imagination of a fan when you have an unprotected
personnel pick. Great stuff from Rick Buker, fall him on Twitter,

Let's figure out what else is going on in sports,
including my Halos trying just trying to give away a sweep,
that chance to sweep the A's. How they do an
open Oakland And the news is not good, Doug, because
those Angels are trailing three nothing right now at the
top of the sixth then in Chris Davis is hit

(01:47:27):
his thirty ninth hone run of the season for Oakland.
But it's just not only this game for the Angels.
The Twins one Today they beat the Rays ten to six,
So as we speak, Minnesota is tied with the Angels
for that final wild card. Here come to Texas Rangers.
Just a game and a half back, good pull within
a game if the Angels don't pull this one out.
Texas beat the Braves today twelve to eight. Milwaukee felt

(01:47:50):
to the Red seven one, Cincinnati completing a sweep. Rockies
up on Milwaukee by three games for the final wild
card in the National League. A couple of the news
stories just developing. Phil Micholson and Charlie Hoffman have been
named as captain's picks by Steve Stricker for the American
President's Cup team that will take on the international squad
at the end of the month. Also men's top seed

(01:48:10):
Raphael Naidalo winner today and straight sets at the US Open.
He is onto the semifinals. Now onto the NFL Buccaneers
Dolphins game scheduled for Miami this Sunday will be postponed
until November nineteen. The game being pushed back because of
Hurricane Irma. That will be a week eleven matchup now
for the Bucks and Dolphins is both teams that he
buy that weekend. Florida and Florida State actually moved their

(01:48:32):
games to kick times in the afternoon instead of at
night because of the storm in the Miami and Arkansas
State game has been canceled. University of Miami canceling classes
this week. Players also being released from the football program
to go and seek safety because of the hurricane. Finally,
some injury news. Doug Giants watter receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Didn't practice today because of his injured ankle. He says

(01:48:53):
he's gonna go against the Cowboys on Sunday night. While
the Browns opened the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and
today at practice, Miles Garrett, the first overall pick and
rookie defensive and suffered an ankle injury and did not
finish the workout. Hugh Jackson wouldn't speculate on Garrett's status
for that opener against Pittsburgh. On Sunday, I was thinking
to this, Dan, we were discussing the Michael Bennett arrest

(01:49:14):
video or not. It wasn't rest, he was detained video.
Uh do you matter when Baker Mayfield was arrested in
Arkansas this season? Now he was in fact arrested for
like public in talks, right, he was like at a party, um,
and he was was that this summer? Was that this
was the last offseason? Right? No, it was this one
this offseason. He was tackled, wasn't he? Yes? Did they

(01:49:36):
put a knee in his back when they tackled and
they put on his and and the same reason he
was arrested was he was running from a party, yes, right,
and he was he was sloppy drunk. Michae Bennett was
completely and totally sober. Kind of my my point was
more like this is kind of standard operating procedure for
police officers, and yes, and I and I and I
get that, and I completely understand that. My point is,

(01:50:01):
if there were two people that were running, as Michael
Bennett said, but we don't know, there's video, there's nobody
else running in the video. But the only thing that
I saw was that there was just there was nobody
that he was already on the ground. That's the video
that I saw, the thirty seconds that he was already
on the ground. If he was the only one running,
then that's a that's a different story. My That was

(01:50:22):
just my point though, was the backstory was Michael Bennett
didn't do anything wrong that we knew of, and so
then now when we see the video, it's just like,
oh wow, there's an innocent person. And if if the
African American is always the one that's chosen to be
taken down when a group of people are running, that's
a really really big problem. And it's not all even
even in even in his even in his uh, his post,

(01:50:45):
he's like, well, I sat there in the back of
a car cop car fe it seems like eternity, Like okay,
it may seem like they were just trying to figure
out who you were and what you were about like,
I don't, I don't know, like I I really I don't.
I know the pendulum swings, and I understand that like
every person, white, Black, Asian, Mexican, everyone has dealt with

(01:51:06):
a cop where you're like, that guy's a jerk, right,
but you've also dealt with cops like that guy was
really really cool. And what we can't do is we
can't allow us to assume us to assume that every
cop is a jerk. On the other hand, we have
and we have to understand and have the perspective of
they don't know who. It's not like people wearing jerseys,

(01:51:26):
right like good guy, bad guy. Oh, he's got the
bad guy jersey on. I can take that guy down,
like you don't know. And I also think that as
much as this is the key important ingredient we operate
now and that like now, we have video everywhere, so
video gives tells us the story, but it doesn't always
provide the context. We don't know, was Michael Bennett the
only one we don't know? You know? Was you know, what,

(01:51:49):
were there other other people of other colors who were
also detained when they were running out? We we don't
know there's things we don't know because of when the
video started, when the video stopped, because the part I
saw was a guy just getting cuffed, just getting cuffed
on the street, and he's saying he didn't do it,
which every person who has ever been cuffed on the
street says they did nothing wrong. Um, And I I

(01:52:09):
feel bad for Michael Bennett because he didn't do anything
wrong except run when he was told not to run. Anyway,
But it is interesting on how we look at things
and guys that run and get taken down and guys
that run and get taken down, and some some people
are critical of some people are not. Yeah, And that's
the thing with like the Baker Mayfield And I'm not
trying to poke holes in story or try to prove

(01:52:31):
my case or anything. I just was responding to what
I saw. And again it's it's not even this specific incidents,
but the Baker Baker Mayfield incident, there weren't you know,
supposedly a hundred people running was Baker Mayfield was being
apprehended and took off. And with Michael Bennett, situation was
there were a group of people and that's why I

(01:52:51):
was just like, Okay, Well then why was Michael Bennett
singled out if other people were running? And again it's
when we say cops, I hate that too, like because
they isn't. It isn't all cops. It's it's each individual,
individual situation. And so in this individual situation, I felt uncomortable.
I'd feel uncofortable if the next door neighbor was pulled

(01:53:12):
out of his house and was handcuffed in listen, listen,
it's violent when guys, when guys, when guys are handcuffed.
But I also understand why, and because if you talk
to enough cops are like, look if we if we don't,
we don't have complete control of the situation. Then you know,
one one false move, one time we take something for
granted is the time we don't go home. So I

(01:53:33):
I get it. It's it's just it's a really, really
hard job. It's a really our job. It's just it um,
it's just it's just his it absolutely, that's Dan Buyer
will get to him with the press upcoming, you know.
It's it's funny on how how we look at different vices, right, like,
we look at different vices that we have and when

(01:53:58):
the when the government steps in, we have an issue
with the government. The government has stepped in as far
as sports gambling and said, hey, you can't do that
legally unless you're in the state of Nevada. Right, And
we slowly but surely kind of pushed some of the
narrative in terms of like lottery tickets, right, Like the

(01:54:19):
big thing with lottery, Well, you can't have lottery lotteries gambling.
And there's actually slot machines now in horse racing venues
because they're trying to get people in horse racing venues.
Like we make the excuse of it's supposed to be
making excuse of our moral compass because it creates tax
dollars for us. But there is something to your moral compass,

(01:54:40):
or is something to the sports gambling thing. A friend
of mine, Craig Carton, was arrested earlier today in New
York City. He was investigated for running but it's been
termed as a Ponzi scheme and uh fleecing the future
potent hill profits from a ticket scam in order to

(01:55:04):
pay off gambling debts. Now, look, I'm not gonna sit
here and burn him at the stake. He'll have his
day in court and he'll be allowed he'll be he'll
have the ability to provide a defense, and the evidence
looks really damning considering there's there's electronic emails between him
and his accomplice. But the takeaway to me is we're

(01:55:28):
gonna talk about gambling and lines and R J. Bell
has a show. I don't know if you guys see
our weekend line up is incredible. Rob Ryan's co hosting
a show. Uh, there's some really good shows on Fox
Sport Trade. You should never turn it down because we
just have a great recently announced weekend lineup that has
morphed into the best in sports radio. But I also

(01:55:50):
say this knowing full well that like gambling conspiral out
of control really really fast. And I knew that Craig Carton,
who's the um who Stu Boomer and Carton's New York's
number one local sports morning show, Like I knew he'd
like to bet, and I knew like he was he

(01:56:10):
spent a lot. I didn't know that he was indebted
to three million dollars. And when you're here's the difference,
when you're in debt in business, three million dollars, it's
a crummy way to do it, but you can declare bankruptcy.
When you're in debt to a bookie or casinos three
million dollars, there is no declaration of bankruptcy. There's leave
the country, which is actually in one of his emails

(01:56:32):
one of his buddies like, hey, this is an option.
Go to Costa Rica, change your name, you know, or
find a way to make find a way to steal
some money, because if not, you lose the finger, and
then another and then your hand. Like that's the way
it works. Like they don't mess around, so I don't
need to scare the Bejesus out of you. Read the

(01:56:53):
Carton story and you're like, wow, here's the guy who
had had New York City at his feet, like I
played in his charity softball games where Marion Rivera comes
in at the end and closes the door like he's
boys with all these guys. And I mean he did

(01:57:15):
it to pay off gambling debts, because you start, everybody loses.
Man house always wins. House wins. As my college coach
told told me, they don't build all those buildings because
people are winning money. I'm even, yeah, you know, I
entertainment expense. A team that's in the NFL it's already

(01:57:36):
facing an uphill battle. Just got some bad news, bad news.

to be a grown up, and one is to protect

I need you guys have settle an argument for me
before we go Doug Otli Show, Fox Sports Radio. We'll
get to that argument in a second. First, let's get
to as many stories as we can. Part of the press,
the press, Dan Buyer, what you got for me? We

(01:59:23):
got clarification from the NFL on that Buccaneers Dolphins game
it was gonna be this week. Then they said, well
yesterday they don't know if they're gonna be at a
neutral side or play it. Later on in the season,
NFL finally announced Buccaneers Dolphins taking place in November nine
on their bye week in week eleven won't go to
the neutral site this weekend Doug. So the Bucks and
Dolphins have a buy in Week one. It hurts probably
the Dolphins most because they have a game in London.

(01:59:45):
Uh was it before the bye week? So they may
be a bit gas But you're going from London to
Miami is not a crazy long trip, you know, it's
it's just not um yeah, I look, that's what I
thought should happen. I understand playing sixteen weeks in a
row can't add a guide to the schedule whatever like it. Look,
it gives Jay Cutler a never another week to prepare
or another week to not prepare, if you apparently he

(02:00:08):
didn't prepare for his audition at Fox, so because was like, yeah,
can compare or I could just wing it right, That's
apparently what he's gonna do. You know. NFL teams to
have started to try to make London more of like
the normal week. They haven't taken that bye week afterwards.
So well, yeah, as you mentioned, maybe not as big
of a deal for the London trip, at least for
the Dolphins. Other hurricane news, Florida's gonna move up their
kickoff against Northern Colorado. Same thing with Florida State. They

(02:00:30):
take on Louisiana Monroe. They're gonna have new an Eastern
time kickoffs, Doug and that Miami Arkansas State game canceled.
Also Houston and U T s A. We're supposed to
play this past weekend, but that was postponed because of
Hurricane Harvey. That also won't be made up. So just
an update there won't be made up. No, not at all.
They're not gonna play it. Game is gonna be canceled.
I had big money on that guy. How how many

(02:00:52):
times does Miami go to Arkansas State? By the way,
think about that for the uh not a lot. That
sounds like a three for one, That's what that sounds there. Yeah,
that's there's some revenue Arkansas State. That's it's still a
dry dry county too, cannot purchase alcohol inside that county
that actually exists in the United States. Crazy. I've never
been to Arkansas. I've always give been Arkansas, have been

(02:01:14):
like everywhere around it, but have never been to Arkansas.
UM Brown's rookie defensive ended topic Myles Garrett suffered an
ankle injury and practice today didn't finish the workout, and
sources tell our good friend Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland
dot Com that the Bronze fear Garrett could miss a
couple of games because of this injury. I mean, of

(02:01:34):
course it happens to the Browns to get the number
one pick. It's a great pass rush. She's facing the
Pittsburgh Stealers have a high powered offense, and he sprains
his ankle on Wednesday before their first game home game
of the season. Only the Browns they should just not
practice at all. Um, gave me an update on your angel.
Still not looking good. Down three nothing to the age
of the seventh runners at first and seconds rally time

(02:01:59):
men stops Raphael and Nodal advanced to the semifinals the US,
but with a straight sets victory today. Now Roger Federer
has got to keep up his end of the deal,
facing Juan del Potoro tonight in the quarterfinal. One Dell
of the Porto of the Porto cannot be that you got.
We gotta have. We gotta find a way to have
Feds take on Rafa in the semi guys, there's a

(02:02:19):
post labored a shoe sale going on thanks to a
convicted drug dealer in Ohio. According to the Columbus Dispatch authorities,
confiscated sixties seven pairs of shoes sizes ten to twelve.
Now those shoes will be auctioned off on a government
site with proceeds going to help fund drug enforcement tasks
for six task forces that is in the area. So
so when he wears size ten, but he only wears

(02:02:40):
size twelve and want to stick some drugs, maybe that
was the case. I'm not sure. I thought maybe he
want to size bigger when he went on the court.
Where's the size I do? I used to wear uh
shoe A couple of sizes too small when I played
at Uphama State. True story, But none of those are
up for sale. That three gets snaked out there and
that was the press. So I make this occasionally, the

(02:03:01):
top of the roof of my mouth itches and I
make this sound, which you can you can sometimes hear.
My wife insists that I take zyrtech because she hates
that sound. But I'm like, I don't have allergies. She's like, yes,
you do. You it's through for your mouth and said, no,
it's just a habit. I said, if I had allergies,
would I would I wouldn't I have a runny nose?
Wouldn't I have itching somewhere else. Wouldn't I have uh

(02:03:24):
watery eyes? Right? And like she wants me to take zyrtech.
Some of the side effects are drowsiness, tired feeling, nausea,
and constipation. No, thank you. I like my morning, um right,
I like my BMS on schedule. Would you take on
zyrtech just because your wife hates the sound that you
make occasionally? No, it's a habit. It's a habit. All right.

(02:03:47):
We are Peter King. Joyce's tomorrow and football is back,
and we'll try and find out what happened with that
bald deflation investigation which the NFL has buried for two years.
