Speaker 1 (00:56):
Baseball? Guy goes with opening Day. That's just not.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
That.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It's partial credit given, partial credit, given, partial credit, partial credit.
That's what it is. Partial credit given. Yeah, buyer, what
days today?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Let's kick off to the NFL season.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
It's game day, game day, game day. And and let's
just be honest. If you're not a Cowboy fan, there's
something about watching the Cowboys lose, right, They're just I
don't know what it is. There's there's something about watching
the Cowboys lose, and I don't want to guarantee it
because again, usually the way it works is when you
(01:42):
think something's a sure bet, it's just not, especially in sports.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
That's the beauty of sports. But I mean, the likelihood
is feels like, you know, Cowboys trade away their best
defensive player by by a fairly substantial amount. They're in
this kind of purgatory of they're fine, but I no
one thinks they are really good. It's game day, it's Cowboys,
(02:11):
it's Eagles, it's the NFL. It's oh my gosh, I
gotta set my fantasy team. It's I gotta, I gotta,
I gotta sit down in front of the TV. Wait
a second, hold on, it's Thursday night. What network's not Wait,
this is not the streaming week? Oh my gosh, and
all of these things. Now. The great thing is you
only have really one big name addition to the Cowboys,
(02:35):
so it's not like there's all new pieces. Eagles mostly
the same crew that we knew in the Super Bowl.
But it's game there's something too. The NFL seeds to
give it off, and we should congratulate ourselves. We made it.
We made it. We no longer have to feign that
we care, although I do think she makes the show
about Angel Reese.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
A right.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
We we don't. We don't have to pretend to care
about anything other than football. I really, Doug, can you
talk more football? Because I like football and normally we
tell our bosses like I'd like to, but it's just like,
what do you want to me? Make something up? Here's
Nick Sirianni, another really likable dude. I just he feels warm, fuzzy.
A lot of people really dig Dick Sirianni.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
That's a joke.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I was asked about the banner unveiling ceremony before tonight's game.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
You guys are dentphicized and moving on from last year,
the last Banner Night in twenty eighteen. It's famous that
the fans booed the Eagles at halftime because they weren't
happy with the way things were going, albeit it was
Banner nighte How do you feel about the fact that
even though it is Bannernite for you guys, the fans
will still have the standard of performing and winning at
(03:45):
a high level.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
Yeah, I didn't know it was Banner Night.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
We won't be out for that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You won't be out for that. Yeah, the only thing
that makes it less fun to watch the Eagles kick
the crap out of the Cowboys is that Nick Sirianni
is the coach of the Eagles, right, who's with me
on that one? Now, he's done a very good job
and I don't know how much credit he deserves or whatever,
(04:12):
but like team's generally been really really good. He's taking
he takes on this weird like alter ego, almost pro
wrestling type character. If the if the Ultimate Warrior ever
needed a football coach. By the way, Ultimate Warrior still
love this earth?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Do we have any update we know about Hulk getting
the call?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Companas Ago, He's he's passed. He died too right after
he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
He was waiting on that thing. Okay, so what wrestlers
are important now? I don't even know. But if they
ever needed a coach, well, Rick Flair is kind of
an entity end to his own. But if the w
W he never needed like a coach to be a coach,
I'm sure a wrestler, but people would in fact cheer
(05:02):
him getting supplexed. I think Sirianta be that guy. On
the other hand, he's been really successful, so it's hard
to be critical of him, right whatever he's doing, however bad.
His initial press conference was, however cheesy. Some of this
tough guy stuff is it doesn't matter because he's got
a really good football team and they seem to continue
to play hard for him. Well, we can diminish all
(05:26):
we want, you can't diminish the fact the guy's got
a tremendous record. And then you know, you have just
like last weekend with college we got kind of the
sort of never ending football weekend. Only Saturday is a
break from the NFL. As Tomorrow night you got Chiefs
and Chargers from Brazil, and then of course full slate Sunday,
(05:48):
Sunday night games, Monday night games. Let's go. We are back.
And I do think you have a couple of great
parts about tonight, and like it just so happened that
the Cowboys had their docuseries, made the Pickens trade, and
then make the trade for Micah Parsons. Granted he's not there.
(06:12):
I think it unequivocally hurts them even if Fank Frank
Clark's become a really good player, Okay, but they're not
as good. But it does give us what j Stewd desires. Well,
JJ's student desires two things. One is the opposite of
whatever BS is, right, that's what you want to hear.
But the other thing is wants content. All right, we
(06:32):
search for content. I give you content, all right. Jerry
Jones said we might be better without MICHAEH. Parsons. Let's see,
Jerry Jones acts like Dak Prescott is worth every penny.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Let's see.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Now you got him two stud wide receivers. Oh yeah,
By the way, they hired Brian Schottenheimer wasn't on anybody's
list to be the next head coach of the Cowboys.
On the other side, you got Siriani, you got Hurts,
who like Look, I'm not a I don't think he's
(07:03):
some elite thrower, but his teams win and however kind
of planned out or me he's got. He's kind of
the Billy Dee Williams of the NFL right in that
he's cool as he He just has this kind of
cool vibe. I don't know if people like that or
see through it. I'm just like guys seems to win,
(07:25):
seems to figured it out. I don't know. He's one
of the most talked about quarterbacks, but not because people
think he's great. It's because people are trying to I
don't want to diminish that he's winning, but he's not
as good as these other guys. But he keeps winning,
and so isn't that what it's about. He had Howie
Roseman who runs the team. But remember he lost power
(07:47):
like a decade ago, and then after a couple of years,
Chip Kelly regained power, made a bunch of moves. Now
they got this loaded up roster. Last time they lost
coordinators after they went to Super Bowl. They were a mess,
even though they were at a good record. Now that
then they now they get more new coordinators. So for
in Jay Stew's man, do I want good content? We
(08:09):
have it. Plus you have just the age old joy
of very likely watching the Cowboys lose, balanced out with
the nobody really likes the Eagles and they don't seem
to care all under the big umbrella of the NFL's pack.
They miss anything, Dan, I don't think I missed anything.
There's probably something I missed.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Firtz and I and I think you covered it well.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Okay, appreciate that, appreciate it. I'm like, actually, I'm super excited,
super excited. Oh, what's the what's the lead in song?
You want to talk about something I've never cared about
and understood? Is it still carry Underwood? Or did they
jazz it up and do something else?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I think you can still carry underwood? Still carry on, Yes,
still carry in.

(09:26):
So I'm reading this from the Associated Press. The new
College Sports Commission has cleared more than eighty three hundred name,
image and likeness deals worth nearly eighty million dollars. It
said Thursday that it's the first full update that the
new system is working. The Commission, which is in charge
of improving contract approving contracts worth six hundred dollars or
(09:47):
more between college athletes and third party companies, said twenty
eight three hundred and forty two students signed up on
its nil go platform between June eleventh, when it launched
and August thirty first. Nearly thirty two one hundred represent
or agents have also signed up. The platform was created
as part of the House Settlement, which allows schools to
pay athletes directly for their nil while also offering them
(10:09):
the chance to make money for im outside groups. Nil
Go is in charge of analyzing the outside deals. It
said thirty three one hundred and thirty two deals had
not been clear to date and seventy five had been resubmitted,
while none had entered arbitration, which is available for parties
who feel their deals were wrongly rejected. Okay, so what
(10:31):
is all what's all that main basil?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Nobody?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Nobody got that one. Jase stew might have gotten that one.
I don't know what's all that main bazil? Yeah, baby,
there you go, There you go, Semi, there you go.
What's it all mean? There's a lot of money, but
there's no real context. Here right, This is like classic
like throat eighty million dollars and they go eight thousand
(11:02):
and three one hundred deals. Uh, anybody got a calculator there, right,
even if it was eight thousand eighty the average deal
is what ten grand?
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
How's my how's my math? I'm much in the munching
damn Byron are YouTube?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah? Give me that? Give me those numbers again, sorry, Doug.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Eighty million dollars divided by eight thou three hundred deals.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Okay, nine thousand, six hundred and thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
It's so about ten grand a deal? Right? But again
no context? Right? Are any of these deals worth a
million dollars and some are worth ten dollars? Right? Because
not all deals are worth ten thousand? Like it's I
actually think what.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Let me let me do this, Dan, Let me ask you.
Because you're the biggest college fel fan on this show.
I think I'm a big college twelf fan. I would
say that you're bigger, you're more invested. Okay, what do
you think of the back and forth between Gundhy and
Landing From the standpoint of the mention of how well
funded organized?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I think Oregon takes everything personally, and so I I
don't think that Gundhy was coming from a place of saltiness.
It just doesn't seem to There doesn't seem to be
a reason except if you're just talking about the nature
of the business. Correct.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I mean, he's he's laying out the content like that.
We all talk about this. We all talk about this,
Like dude, it's like you get with your coaching staff
and you're like, yeah, I got like thirty million dollars,
we got like five. And what he's saying is like
we were just dramatically underfunded the last couple of years,
which is an excuse. Sure, is it accurate? Probably? You know, probably,
(13:07):
I'll give people some info they don't have. Do you
know Glaohoma State had I think it was like four
straight nights of a concert series called The Boys from Oklahoma.
Baylor had it as well for one night. Oklam State
announce are going to bring it back. So they sold
out Boone Pickens Stadium for a concert they never had
concerts in it before, and a couple of local bands
(13:29):
and that made it sort of big. And if you
know red dirt music, that stuff was huge.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
It's huge.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
But they raised I think three and a half million
dollars for their nil fund from the event. I was
told that a week later, all that money was was
paid out two bills they had from last year. Bills
they had from last year were like they still owed
kids for nil from This is how they took care
(13:58):
of their bills. It's not they put in the kid like, hey,
let's put it with mounds of other money. Hey, let's
just put it at the top of that mount of money. Hey, organ,
you take it personal because it is what it is. Hey,
if we're honest with ourselves, nobody goes to organ. If
they didn't have Nike and now the financial support that
(14:20):
they have, you just don't. They created a great football program,
and I actually thought, like Dan Lanning was like, hey, look,
if you want to have it, be good, you gotta support.
Like all that's good, but why are you taking it personal?
The fact that you have deeper pockets than most of
your opponents, so you're going to have more talent than
most of your opponents. Why is that some personal shot
at you? Explain it right, and you could sit there
(14:44):
and go like, well, hey, Landing came from Georgia. Georgias
the difference in Georgia and organ is Hey, if we
went back to the old school and look SEC schools
and Oregon back when Chip Kelly was there, they were
doing some extra stuff, no question. But the fact is
that Georgia, you can get into a car, never a plane,
recruit a team from that state, and you would be okay, right,
(15:09):
state of Georgia, state of Florida, all that. The Carolines
are right there, plenty of dudes. If you were not
allowed to recruit outside of the state of Georgia, you
could still win a national championship. Oregon's not the Cay.
It's not that way. So you have to create this
image with the uniforms the Nike Austin's great. Okay, they
(15:30):
thrown a bunch of money back when you couldn't give
players money. They threw money at facility. They did all
the other things right. They had the recruiting guy. They
would buy the extra recruiting guys, Like, how do you
you do know how that works?
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Dan?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Right?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Like when you throw a bunch of money at the
recruiting guru who has the recruiting report, it stands the
reason that he takes care of the guys that you're
gonna go get sure, right, that's how it works now.
Facilities don't don't matter as much. They already have the facilities.
Now they put all that money and they can put
it in the players anyway. Point is that these numbers
(16:07):
look argantuan, and they are. There are some really big numbers,
but without specifics, it just looks like every guy's getting
a ten thousand dollars deal. And I don't think that's
the case. I think there's there's the haves and the
have nots, there's nickel and dimes stuff, and there's big
money stuff. I want to know the reality of how
much some of these guys are making. I want to
(16:29):
know the breakdown of it. Gosh, I want to know
it bad because as a coach, like I'm a business operator,
I'm a CEO of business. I gotta figure that out.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
It would be.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Really funny if they if Josh Allen's when they retired
as number dan is, if like they had him to
throw passes to some of his former teammates and they
dropped them all right, right, because that was the whole
thing when he got drafted, Like, yeah, it's completion percent,
it's bad, but watch how bad his teammates actually are right.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
One final drop, guys, one final drop, just a war memorial. Yeah,
one last thing here on landing. I think he's a
great coach. I think he's awesome.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Okay, and he does these all these are superpowers of
motive motivation, and he does the speech and he's cool.
But like, dude, stop it, don't don't act like you're
offended when and he for the most part didn't. But
then he took the little swipe about Tennessee Martin. But
they had one of my in Tennessee Martin. Yeah, and
they whipped Tennessee Martin's ass. Yes, they did. Adam Kaplan
(17:25):
joins us. He's Fox Sports Radios, NFL Insider. He's co
host of the Inside the Birds podcast. That's Eagles podcast.
Is there any reason to think that Dallas can win
this game tonight?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
No?
Speaker 9 (17:40):
No, Now, if Michael Parsis wasn't traded last week, maybe
they would have a fighting chance. It's gonna be hard.
Look now, I just want to explain something to you.
You follow the league a long time. Week one is
really weird. Defenses are typically overall ahead of the offenses, Doug.
The one issue defenses have of Hall of Fame General Matter,
Bill poulinvoice, tell me a man. The first tackling in
(18:00):
the first four to six weeks is generally poor because
as we know, Doug teams don't tackle anymore so in
training camp. So that's that's unfortunately what goes on. But no,
I think when you watch this game tonight, I'm gonna
give you a pretty good nugget here. So a total
of people work with Brian Schottenheimer over the years. Broughton
Schottenheimer is the head coach is going to call the plays.
(18:21):
He's super analytical. And what that means is, if you
go back forty to fifty years, the number showed if
you throw earlier in games, if you throw way more
than you run it in the first half, over time,
you're gonna win more games. Now, what's interesting about that
is Shotty in twenty twenty was he was behind they
(18:42):
let Russ Cook movement. That's when Russell Wilson Doug had
twenty eight passket touchdowns in eight games. That was I
was talking to Seahawks and that was Shotty's idea to
come out aggressive and Pete Carroll had enough of it
because their defense couldn't stop anyone and the uh, let's
say that the head coach in the offensive corner, he
had philosophical differences and shot he was gone. But on
(19:05):
the other side of you've got Philly, who historically would
do that. But last year they're the only NFL team
DOUG to run the ball more than they throw it
in the first half of games, which is not done
ever anymore in the National footballagu But the Eagles.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
Did it and it worked.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So in other words, the idea is for them to
win tonight. They're gonna throw early.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
You gotta throw it, yes the way shot he does it,
but they I mean, Jervonte Williams has not been the
same since that multi ligament injury three years ago. He's
in a running back come over from Denver. They got
George Pickens, they got Ferguson done the tight end, they
got his extension done. Now they have some offensive line concerns,
(19:46):
a little bit of tackle now. The Eagles, by the way,
have lost five defensive starters. That's a concern. I think
the numbers right. The spread move from seven about an
hour before the trade last week to now eight and
a half. Now I would tell you it's gonna rain.
But now we know that forecast can change. It's expected
to rain somewhere around kickoff. How hard it is?
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Is it light? I couldn't tell you. I'm not a
weather man, but I just look at the.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
Hour by hour by forecast because it was sunny up
till an hour ago in the Philly area. Now it's
starting to get cloudy.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
So I thought it was always sunny in Philadelphia's you
know what?
Speaker 9 (20:20):
You know what, I've rarely seen that show, and that's funny, good,
but just I've seen it like three or four times.
But you' oh I've seen it. Oh yeah, Danny to beat.
It's fantastic. It's so different. It's it's very it's very
good show, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
It's a very it's a very good show. Adam Kaplan
is our guest. He's our Fox Sports Radio NFL Incenter.
You hear him not just on our show, but all
of our family of shows. You're on the network. Okay,
let's let's work our way around. What is the league
reaction to Parsons in Greenville?
Speaker 9 (20:47):
Oh all right, So one former GM told me last week, Doug,
this is issue, he said, stop focusing on that. They
trade him to a team in their conference, competing for
a playoff spot. Focus on the value. I said, so
what do you mean by that? He goes, if I'm
giving up a top five defensive player, a probably a
problem Hall of Fame player. The guy's been in All
(21:08):
Pro two it was four years pro bowler, each of
us four years.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
I'm doing that. What's that?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Yeay y?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I heard you got an email by the way, I'm.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Sorry, yeah, sorry I put that. Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Yeah, you remember that one? You remember that one? No,
But what happened is Doug is that he said, look,
if you're giving up this player, you have to get
a big time starter back number one. Any first round
pick you get has got to be a high first
round pick. So I'd go back to twenty eighteen. Talking
to the Raiders. They're convinced. When they they they traded
(21:39):
to khlil Mack out of the conference to the lowly Bears.
They didn't think anything of the Bears. Well, who knew
that the Bears would make the playoffs that year. So
they're picked in their first round pick was not as
high as they thought. And I would say, Green Bay
is this GM. The former GM told me they should
pick anywhere from twenty six to thirty two, because you
get Michael Parsons on there, and by the way, that
was a major problem for them Green Baby's.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Or past Rush.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
I mean, now you got Rashaun Garret the other side
is a good football player. So overall, Doug, it's really
the talk around the league was, and I've talked to
easily ten people. They're all almost all of my I
talked a couple of coaches. It's from a coaching standpoint
how they look at this. But overall, most people thought
the Cowboys did not get good enough value because they
(22:24):
trade them to a team that's going to be good.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
The pick numbers won't be good.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Most likely we don't know yet, but most likely based
on what the Packers look like in their perennial playoff team. Anyway,
and they get Kenny Clark and Jerry Jones. Is a
fixation on stopping the run. I mean, you need to
control the run, you need to stop it. I know
they've been terrible against the run. Well, what Jerry did
say is they missed on Mazzie Smith, a first round
draft pick in twenty twenty three who barely made the
(22:49):
team out of Michigan and that's a big reason why
the run defense has been so bad.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Am Kaplin's our guest here, Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio.
Is there any pressure on the floor considering a little
disappointing last year and now you added in an elite
defensive player in a position to need and policy is
new right, Like he wasn't the president last year. Those
(23:17):
guys good and Guns hadn't been extended. He hasn't been extended.
Any pressure there.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
Ton, There's no question about it because when you make
a move. Brian Goodacust is their general manager who's pretty
aggressive now for many years and Goody got raised by
Ted Thompson and only Ted Thompson as the general manager,
so Ted was very conservative. It would not rarely other
than Charles Woodson get evolved in free agency and Gutacust
has kind of taken another turn here and he's been
(23:47):
pretty aggressive. He believes in doing it both ways drafted
free agency. So yeah, the pressures on everybody there. You
make a move like this, you give two first round picks,
albeit they probably won't be very high. Kenny clarksaid, by
the way, good tackle detackle. He's older, but you're going
for it like this is and they're clearly let me
explain something how it works in the National Football League.
(24:08):
When you make a move like this to get a
past rusher like this, you're clearly saying you're not good
enough in an area They weren't. As we said at
the start of the interview here or Talk Green Bay
knew that if they want to make a run, and
they have not done well in the playoffs, mat Befloor
has just not done well enough the playoffs, they better
make a run here.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
Because this is a very good roster.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Now you put Parsons on there, I don't think there's
any questions an excellent, excellent roster. This is the this
is the Doug Gottlieb Show, It is Fox Sports Radio.
A couple more here things to get to as we
go to tomorrow's game in in Brazil. What are the
thoughts on the Chiefs this year? They just figure it out.
(24:48):
They just seem to figure it out. But last year
was an off year statistically and in regular gameplay by
Pat Mahomes. Where is that offense now as opposed to
when we saw them last in Super Bowl?
Speaker 9 (25:00):
It's a Doug my understanding is they want to stretch
the field. They did not last year, and a part
of it was because of the problems that left tackle.
They went through not one, not two, not three, four
left tackles. It'll be Josh Simmons, their first round pick
out of Ohio State. It's had a phenomenal rehab coming
back from his torn Pateeller ten and he's actually ready.
He's going to start Week one. They feel really good
(25:20):
about that. Now they got to change it left guard,
so their left side is completely new. They traded their
their left guard to the Bears, and right tackle. They're
hopeful that Jwan Taylor reboundies on the Fannie Vers deal
a lot of guaranteed money. That's why they could't move
them. They would proably would have caught him if they all
this money wasn't guaranteed. So they're feeling better about their
(25:41):
offensive line. But yes, you saw against Philly and the
Super Bowl is an absolute joke. I mean, it's just
bad like they missed it left tackle. But they like
Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown's back, he's healthy. They feel good
about that. Don't forget Pacheco. They're starting running back got hurt.
He broke his leg. And then he came back late
wasn't himself. So they're film really good about that. Pretty
good defense. The one area that they have which I
(26:02):
believe will keep him out of the super Bowl is
at corner. They're just not good enough.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
There.
Speaker 9 (26:05):
McDuffie's terrific Trent mcduffy, whether he lines up inside or outside,
but the the other corner spots they're not good.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
That's a problem for me.
Speaker 9 (26:14):
We saw it against Philly that got beat if Eagles
didn't have to throw the ball very much at all,
but when they did, they were super successful. That is
a concern of mine if you're Chiefs fan. I do
radio and WHB every week all season, and I said
that today like then. I'm sure they weren't happy with me.
But my job is to tell the truth, and I
ask NFL people, what do you think? A couple of
people pointed out to me, and I saw the same thing.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
So we'll see.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
They're gonna as you said, they're gonna make a run.
There's no doubt. But one of these days one of
the best quarterbacks in the regular season NFL history, la
Mark Jackson's actually gonna get done the playoffs when he
does look out.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Okay, So that's that's the question, right is it.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
That's where I'm going.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Well, all right, you can know Lamar Jackson, Dan and
I had a great discussion yesterday over like storyline, I
said the same thing. But there's also the Josh Allen
at some point is one of the great questions. Hasn't
gotten there either, Bill's in general.
Speaker 9 (27:03):
Yeah, maybe they might win a ring, but anyway, Yeah,
So with Baltimore, they addressed some issues. They they extended
Ronnie Stanley's contract. The left tackle kind of rebounded from
being heard quite a bit. And Mark anders Is back
from his injury. That was big for them. That was impactful.
You got you know when he got hurt defensively, they
addressed their issue with safety next to Kyle Hamilton, they
(27:25):
thought they need more help at corner.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
They did.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
They got Jyry, Alexander van Noy's back. This team is
completely they're the most to me, the most complete team.
Like if you ask NFL people, it's hard for them
to pick it apart. Now, one thing I would bring up,
could Derrick Henry and I look having Lamar Jackson, They're
clearly helps. Dereck Henry is now thirty one years old.
The Titans did not want him, as I was told
(27:48):
then when they moved on from him, they they made
a decision he wasn't going to come back. In fact,
they they could have worked it out the year before
that free agency las year they would have traded him,
but didn't work out. Bottom line is he's he may
he may be a Hall of Famer, like he turned
his career around after a slow start.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
He's ten years in.
Speaker 9 (28:07):
He's great at what at some point, Doug, You've studied
this league a number of years, and you know as
an athlete and a coach, at some point there's a
major drop off at running back.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
And obviously the Ravens are hoping it won't be the season.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I would hope too, because it's not my fantasy team.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
He's good.
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Well, no, I'm going to tell you, but I'm gonna
tell why I'm gonna like him this year. So one
of the coaches told me when I went to their camp.
You know I said last year to him, said, hey,
how's it working. He goes watch practice today with Lamar
and Derrick Henry. The thing with Derrick Henry is you
don't know if Lamar is going to keep the ball
or not, so they crashed on him or play action
(28:46):
and if Mark Andrews was healthier, Isaiah likely.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Also was hurt, but he'll be he'll be back relatively soon.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
But you just don't. You don't know how to stop them,
and that went up happening. It didn't happen early on
though people forget. They didn't start off great. But once
they got that train running mother than Philly, the Eagles
shut them down. In Baltimore they were phenomenal. And I
again with Bateman z Flowers, I know they think eternally
that this is one of the better offensive lines they
put together a long time. Why, I mean, I just don't.
(29:15):
They're right there with Kansas City and in Buffalo. It's
amazing how good those three teams are. But my pick
is Baltimore to get the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Adam Kaplan Fox Sports Radio's NFL in Cider Coast of
Inside the Birds podcast. Enjoy the game tonight, we'll talk
to next week.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
Sounds good.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
It's The Doug Gottlieb Show. You're listening to Fox Sports radio.
Everyone to try an Olympic and Paralympic sport. Try and fencing.
It's fast, safe, easy to start. Find a beginner class
near you at USA Fencing dot org slash try fencing.
(29:56):
That's USA Fencing dot org slash Try fencing, guys. I'm
just visualizing, Okay, like in twenty nine, twenty twenty nine,
after fencing becomes big, then think about you guys are
right off a ventur Of Boulevard, right, and if you
go down ventur Of Boulevard there's basically anything you can
think of made into a fitness studio. And now people
do ax throwing for fun, group gathering activities. How do
(30:20):
we not have a fencing like either women's fencing with
music you know to it, or a fencing bar? Right? Ah,
you get your eyes stabbed out by a what's it
called pure three?
Speaker 4 (30:34):
There's three style.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Actually took fencing lessons growing up, so it's a fa
foil and saber, and I did specialize in foil. Oh sorry,
Jason threw a pen at him. But you need you
need like the vest, you need the mesh helmet, and
you need to be able to spar with an electrical
system hooked up so a just fun. It gets really
hot though under that gear. Really it prepared you for
playing the foil on the doug out right exactly well.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Exactly, yeah, Jay stew I apologize this is your least
favorite cheesy saying, but I did not have anyone playing
learning how to fence growing up on my Bengo card.
I just did not.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
The University of Io at their fieldhouse, their old fieldhouse
where the Iowa Hawkeyes used to play basketball, they offered
free lessons and so every Wednesday night, so I would
go down there and for three good.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Way to meet chicks. Let's get to Dan Bayer in
the game in a game.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
This is game time.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
On the doute, I will point out. Okay, I'm thinking
about it now. My first date with my ex wife,
right was at Eskimo Joes. You guys we talked about
last year. I was there. There were there was swing
dance lessons going on on the main floor. We broadcast
from last year, Dan Byer, there was swing dance lessons
going on down there while we were above. It was
(31:54):
not in the swing dance. In hindsight, like that would
be a good first first eight, right, we went swing dance.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
That was really good. Did have this?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Wish I could have said I did that. I did
not bacon cheese fries after at night of dancing.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Yes, yeah, I'd eat that after I dance first, then
have the cheese fries, not the other way around.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Oh they were magnificent, all right, Doug. The game today is.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I feel a draft.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
It's a yearly tradition, unlike any other Unlike any other
no other show is doing this, By the way, no
other show is going to do this topic today. Super
Bowl sixty winners. Here's the great thing is we can
draft multiple teams right now. It's set up for two rounds. Doug.
You have the first pick. Sam is second, Jason third.
I am fourth, and then we will reverse it in
(32:41):
the second round teams that you think can win Super
Bowl sixty. Super Bowl time.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I'll go first. I will take a will take the
Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
The Chiefs are going to be your Super Bowl winner.
That's when you make your picks because you got the
first pick here.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Well, okay, but this is in regards to probability, right,
That's how my mind is calculating this. If I had
to guess, I don't think the Chiefs are the best
team in the AFC. I get ben, but they keep
getting to the Super Bowl or the AFC Championship game,
and they have Patrick Mahomes and they have all that experience.
So yeah, I'll go with can't see Chiefs again until
(33:23):
proven otherwise.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
All right, Sam, you are up. Who's your Super Bowl winner?
If it's not Kansas City? Oh man?
Speaker 8 (33:32):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Did you have the Chiefs? By the way, Yeah, no,
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Okay, uh you know, I'm just gonna I'm gonna hitch
my wagon too. The La rams baby ram it all day.
John Ramos is happy. Keep that back healthy. Matt Stafford.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
So neither of you on the NFL's first day have
a Super Bowl pick ready to go. I just want
to make I just want to clarify that.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I've had a couple of names juggling around my head.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Okay, all right, all right, Still I guess a little different.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Well, you're making this pick four different teams on here,
and I'm like, do I have to mark, let's.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Go, we won't get through it. Let's just go, we
won't get through it. Go ahead, who's next?
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Jason Stewart is third?
Speaker 6 (34:11):
All right, guys, I guess you could just hand this
to me. So I'll take the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles,
a philadelp six fifty right now to win the Super Bowl.
The best odds you're gonna get. Kansas City Chiefs were fourth,
Rams were eleventh, Philadelphia Philadelphia.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
I do have a super Bowl pick, and I'm going
to pick the team that I picked them all Bills,
the Denver Broncos. The Denver Broncos. Yes, last time they
played a Super Bowl in that stadium, they top the Panthers.
Give me Denver and I'll take Buffalo, the team that
I think Denver's gonna beat in the AFC Championship game
(34:51):
with my next pick, So I'll take the Bills.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
So you don't even have my team that I'm about
to pick in the your AFC title game. This is
how far you are. The Baltimore Ravens are headed by
Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
This season, Ravens.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Sam Mmmm, you know what, I'm a fan of them.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I don't know if I'm gonna go with the Packers.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Killing me kid.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I think they're gonna have a good team this year.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Green Bay is gonna have a good team this year.
Is gonna have a good team this year. Big Leaf,
Big Lee. I'm gonna go with the l A Chargers
Dream big Kids.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
That is quite the dream. Yeah you got another one.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah, Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Oh, Joe Burrow led Sam, Do you have another team
you'd like to think?
Speaker 3 (35:57):
I'm gonna go with the Houston Texans.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
M HM great defensively and offense. Offenses, guys, C J. Stroud,
Jay Simmons.
Speaker 6 (36:08):
I guess if you're gonna get guys, are gonna give
me the Detroit Lions and ten to one odds, I'm
gonna take that.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
There's there's another one out there. Go for Dan Byer
NFC team. People like them, Yeah, I don't. People are
talking about, Yeah, give me the Seahawks. A lot of
people are saying they could win the Nobel Prize.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
A lot of people that's game time.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Game This is game time on The Godlieb Show.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
That.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It's partial credit given, partial credit, given, partial credit, partial credit.
That's what it is. Partial credit given. Yeah, buyer, what
days today?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Let's kick off to the NFL season.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
It's game day, game day, game day. And and let's
just be honest. If you're not a Cowboy fan, there's
something about watching the Cowboys lose, right, They're just I
don't know what it is. There's there's something about watching
the Cowboys lose, and I don't want to guarantee it
because again, usually the way it works is when you
(01:42):
think something's a sure bet, it's just not, especially in sports.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
That's the beauty of sports. But I mean, the likelihood
is feels like, you know, Cowboys trade away their best
defensive player by by a fairly substantial amount. They're in
this kind of purgatory of they're fine, but I no
one thinks they are really good. It's game day, it's Cowboys,
(02:11):
it's Eagles, it's the NFL. It's oh my gosh, I
gotta set my fantasy team. It's I gotta, I gotta,
I gotta sit down in front of the TV. Wait
a second, hold on, it's Thursday night. What network's not Wait,
this is not the streaming week? Oh my gosh, and
all of these things. Now. The great thing is you
only have really one big name addition to the Cowboys,
(02:35):
so it's not like there's all new pieces. Eagles mostly
the same crew that we knew in the Super Bowl.
But it's game there's something too. The NFL seeds to
give it off, and we should congratulate ourselves. We made it.
We made it. We no longer have to feign that
we care, although I do think she makes the show
about Angel Reese.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
A right.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
We we don't. We don't have to pretend to care
about anything other than football. I really, Doug, can you
talk more football? Because I like football and normally we
tell our bosses like I'd like to, but it's just like,
what do you want to me? Make something up? Here's
Nick Sirianni, another really likable dude. I just he feels warm, fuzzy.
A lot of people really dig Dick Sirianni.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
That's a joke.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I was asked about the banner unveiling ceremony before tonight's game.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
You guys are dentphicized and moving on from last year,
the last Banner Night in twenty eighteen. It's famous that
the fans booed the Eagles at halftime because they weren't
happy with the way things were going, albeit it was
Banner nighte How do you feel about the fact that
even though it is Bannernite for you guys, the fans
will still have the standard of performing and winning at
(03:45):
a high level.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
Yeah, I didn't know it was Banner Night.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
We won't be out for that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You won't be out for that. Yeah, the only thing
that makes it less fun to watch the Eagles kick
the crap out of the Cowboys is that Nick Sirianni
is the coach of the Eagles, right, who's with me
on that one? Now, he's done a very good job
and I don't know how much credit he deserves or whatever,
(04:12):
but like team's generally been really really good. He's taking
he takes on this weird like alter ego, almost pro
wrestling type character. If the if the Ultimate Warrior ever
needed a football coach. By the way, Ultimate Warrior still
love this earth?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Do we have any update we know about Hulk getting
the call?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Companas Ago, He's he's passed. He died too right after
he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
He was waiting on that thing. Okay, so what wrestlers
are important now? I don't even know. But if they
ever needed a coach, well, Rick Flair is kind of
an entity end to his own. But if the w
W he never needed like a coach to be a coach,
I'm sure a wrestler, but people would in fact cheer
(05:02):
him getting supplexed. I think Sirianta be that guy. On
the other hand, he's been really successful, so it's hard
to be critical of him, right whatever he's doing, however bad.
His initial press conference was, however cheesy. Some of this
tough guy stuff is it doesn't matter because he's got
a really good football team and they seem to continue
to play hard for him. Well, we can diminish all
(05:26):
we want, you can't diminish the fact the guy's got
a tremendous record. And then you know, you have just
like last weekend with college we got kind of the
sort of never ending football weekend. Only Saturday is a
break from the NFL. As Tomorrow night you got Chiefs
and Chargers from Brazil, and then of course full slate Sunday,
(05:48):
Sunday night games, Monday night games. Let's go. We are back.
And I do think you have a couple of great
parts about tonight, and like it just so happened that
the Cowboys had their docuseries, made the Pickens trade, and
then make the trade for Micah Parsons. Granted he's not there.
(06:12):
I think it unequivocally hurts them even if Fank Frank
Clark's become a really good player, Okay, but they're not
as good. But it does give us what j Stewd desires. Well,
JJ's student desires two things. One is the opposite of
whatever BS is, right, that's what you want to hear.
But the other thing is wants content. All right, we
(06:32):
search for content. I give you content, all right. Jerry
Jones said we might be better without MICHAEH. Parsons. Let's see,
Jerry Jones acts like Dak Prescott is worth every penny.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Let's see.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Now you got him two stud wide receivers. Oh yeah,
By the way, they hired Brian Schottenheimer wasn't on anybody's
list to be the next head coach of the Cowboys.
On the other side, you got Siriani, you got Hurts,
who like Look, I'm not a I don't think he's
(07:03):
some elite thrower, but his teams win and however kind
of planned out or me he's got. He's kind of
the Billy Dee Williams of the NFL right in that
he's cool as he He just has this kind of
cool vibe. I don't know if people like that or
see through it. I'm just like guys seems to win,
(07:25):
seems to figured it out. I don't know. He's one
of the most talked about quarterbacks, but not because people
think he's great. It's because people are trying to I
don't want to diminish that he's winning, but he's not
as good as these other guys. But he keeps winning,
and so isn't that what it's about. He had Howie
Roseman who runs the team. But remember he lost power
(07:47):
like a decade ago, and then after a couple of years,
Chip Kelly regained power, made a bunch of moves. Now
they got this loaded up roster. Last time they lost
coordinators after they went to Super Bowl. They were a mess,
even though they were at a good record. Now that
then they now they get more new coordinators. So for
in Jay Stew's man, do I want good content? We
(08:09):
have it. Plus you have just the age old joy
of very likely watching the Cowboys lose, balanced out with
the nobody really likes the Eagles and they don't seem
to care all under the big umbrella of the NFL's pack.
They miss anything, Dan, I don't think I missed anything.
There's probably something I missed.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Firtz and I and I think you covered it well.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Okay, appreciate that, appreciate it. I'm like, actually, I'm super excited,
super excited. Oh, what's the what's the lead in song?
You want to talk about something I've never cared about
and understood? Is it still carry Underwood? Or did they
jazz it up and do something else?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I think you can still carry underwood? Still carry on, Yes,
still carry in.

(09:26):
So I'm reading this from the Associated Press. The new
College Sports Commission has cleared more than eighty three hundred name,
image and likeness deals worth nearly eighty million dollars. It
said Thursday that it's the first full update that the
new system is working. The Commission, which is in charge
of improving contract approving contracts worth six hundred dollars or
(09:47):
more between college athletes and third party companies, said twenty
eight three hundred and forty two students signed up on
its nil go platform between June eleventh, when it launched
and August thirty first. Nearly thirty two one hundred represent
or agents have also signed up. The platform was created
as part of the House Settlement, which allows schools to
pay athletes directly for their nil while also offering them
(10:09):
the chance to make money for im outside groups. Nil
Go is in charge of analyzing the outside deals. It
said thirty three one hundred and thirty two deals had
not been clear to date and seventy five had been resubmitted,
while none had entered arbitration, which is available for parties
who feel their deals were wrongly rejected. Okay, so what
(10:31):
is all what's all that main basil?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Nobody?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Nobody got that one. Jase stew might have gotten that one.
I don't know what's all that main bazil? Yeah, baby,
there you go, There you go, Semi, there you go.
What's it all mean? There's a lot of money, but
there's no real context. Here right, This is like classic
like throat eighty million dollars and they go eight thousand
(11:02):
and three one hundred deals. Uh, anybody got a calculator there, right,
even if it was eight thousand eighty the average deal
is what ten grand?
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
How's my how's my math? I'm much in the munching
damn Byron are YouTube?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah? Give me that? Give me those numbers again, sorry, Doug.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Eighty million dollars divided by eight thou three hundred deals.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Okay, nine thousand, six hundred and thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
It's so about ten grand a deal? Right? But again
no context? Right? Are any of these deals worth a
million dollars and some are worth ten dollars? Right? Because
not all deals are worth ten thousand? Like it's I
actually think what.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Let me let me do this, Dan, Let me ask you.
Because you're the biggest college fel fan on this show.
I think I'm a big college twelf fan. I would
say that you're bigger, you're more invested. Okay, what do
you think of the back and forth between Gundhy and
Landing From the standpoint of the mention of how well
funded organized?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I think Oregon takes everything personally, and so I I
don't think that Gundhy was coming from a place of saltiness.
It just doesn't seem to There doesn't seem to be
a reason except if you're just talking about the nature
of the business. Correct.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I mean, he's he's laying out the content like that.
We all talk about this. We all talk about this,
Like dude, it's like you get with your coaching staff
and you're like, yeah, I got like thirty million dollars,
we got like five. And what he's saying is like
we were just dramatically underfunded the last couple of years,
which is an excuse. Sure, is it accurate? Probably? You know, probably,
(13:07):
I'll give people some info they don't have. Do you
know Glaohoma State had I think it was like four
straight nights of a concert series called The Boys from Oklahoma.
Baylor had it as well for one night. Oklam State
announce are going to bring it back. So they sold
out Boone Pickens Stadium for a concert they never had
concerts in it before, and a couple of local bands
(13:29):
and that made it sort of big. And if you
know red dirt music, that stuff was huge.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
It's huge.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
But they raised I think three and a half million
dollars for their nil fund from the event. I was
told that a week later, all that money was was
paid out two bills they had from last year. Bills
they had from last year were like they still owed
kids for nil from This is how they took care
(13:58):
of their bills. It's not they put in the kid like, hey,
let's put it with mounds of other money. Hey, let's
just put it at the top of that mount of money. Hey, organ,
you take it personal because it is what it is. Hey,
if we're honest with ourselves, nobody goes to organ. If
they didn't have Nike and now the financial support that
(14:20):
they have, you just don't. They created a great football program,
and I actually thought, like Dan Lanning was like, hey, look,
if you want to have it, be good, you gotta support.
Like all that's good, but why are you taking it personal?
The fact that you have deeper pockets than most of
your opponents, so you're going to have more talent than
most of your opponents. Why is that some personal shot
at you? Explain it right, and you could sit there
(14:44):
and go like, well, hey, Landing came from Georgia. Georgias
the difference in Georgia and organ is Hey, if we
went back to the old school and look SEC schools
and Oregon back when Chip Kelly was there, they were
doing some extra stuff, no question. But the fact is
that Georgia, you can get into a car, never a plane,
recruit a team from that state, and you would be okay, right,
(15:09):
state of Georgia, state of Florida, all that. The Carolines
are right there, plenty of dudes. If you were not
allowed to recruit outside of the state of Georgia, you
could still win a national championship. Oregon's not the Cay.
It's not that way. So you have to create this
image with the uniforms the Nike Austin's great. Okay, they
(15:30):
thrown a bunch of money back when you couldn't give
players money. They threw money at facility. They did all
the other things right. They had the recruiting guy. They
would buy the extra recruiting guys, Like, how do you
you do know how that works?
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Dan?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Right?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Like when you throw a bunch of money at the
recruiting guru who has the recruiting report, it stands the
reason that he takes care of the guys that you're
gonna go get sure, right, that's how it works now.
Facilities don't don't matter as much. They already have the facilities.
Now they put all that money and they can put
it in the players anyway. Point is that these numbers
(16:07):
look argantuan, and they are. There are some really big numbers,
but without specifics, it just looks like every guy's getting
a ten thousand dollars deal. And I don't think that's
the case. I think there's there's the haves and the
have nots, there's nickel and dimes stuff, and there's big
money stuff. I want to know the reality of how
much some of these guys are making. I want to
(16:29):
know the breakdown of it. Gosh, I want to know
it bad because as a coach, like I'm a business operator,
I'm a CEO of business. I gotta figure that out.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
It would be.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Really funny if they if Josh Allen's when they retired
as number dan is, if like they had him to
throw passes to some of his former teammates and they
dropped them all right, right, because that was the whole
thing when he got drafted, Like, yeah, it's completion percent,
it's bad, but watch how bad his teammates actually are right.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
One final drop, guys, one final drop, just a war memorial. Yeah,
one last thing here on landing. I think he's a
great coach. I think he's awesome.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Okay, and he does these all these are superpowers of
motive motivation, and he does the speech and he's cool.
But like, dude, stop it, don't don't act like you're
offended when and he for the most part didn't. But
then he took the little swipe about Tennessee Martin. But
they had one of my in Tennessee Martin. Yeah, and
they whipped Tennessee Martin's ass. Yes, they did. Adam Kaplan
(17:25):
joins us. He's Fox Sports Radios, NFL Insider. He's co
host of the Inside the Birds podcast. That's Eagles podcast.
Is there any reason to think that Dallas can win
this game tonight?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
No?
Speaker 9 (17:40):
No, Now, if Michael Parsis wasn't traded last week, maybe
they would have a fighting chance. It's gonna be hard.
Look now, I just want to explain something to you.
You follow the league a long time. Week one is
really weird. Defenses are typically overall ahead of the offenses, Doug.
The one issue defenses have of Hall of Fame General Matter,
Bill poulinvoice, tell me a man. The first tackling in
(18:00):
the first four to six weeks is generally poor because
as we know, Doug teams don't tackle anymore so in
training camp. So that's that's unfortunately what goes on. But no,
I think when you watch this game tonight, I'm gonna
give you a pretty good nugget here. So a total
of people work with Brian Schottenheimer over the years. Broughton
Schottenheimer is the head coach is going to call the plays.
(18:21):
He's super analytical. And what that means is, if you
go back forty to fifty years, the number showed if
you throw earlier in games, if you throw way more
than you run it in the first half, over time,
you're gonna win more games. Now, what's interesting about that
is Shotty in twenty twenty was he was behind they
(18:42):
let Russ Cook movement. That's when Russell Wilson Doug had
twenty eight passket touchdowns in eight games. That was I
was talking to Seahawks and that was Shotty's idea to
come out aggressive and Pete Carroll had enough of it
because their defense couldn't stop anyone and the uh, let's
say that the head coach in the offensive corner, he
had philosophical differences and shot he was gone. But on
(19:05):
the other side of you've got Philly, who historically would
do that. But last year they're the only NFL team
DOUG to run the ball more than they throw it
in the first half of games, which is not done
ever anymore in the National footballagu But the Eagles.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
Did it and it worked.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So in other words, the idea is for them to
win tonight. They're gonna throw early.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
You gotta throw it, yes the way shot he does it,
but they I mean, Jervonte Williams has not been the
same since that multi ligament injury three years ago. He's
in a running back come over from Denver. They got
George Pickens, they got Ferguson done the tight end, they
got his extension done. Now they have some offensive line concerns,
(19:46):
a little bit of tackle now. The Eagles, by the way,
have lost five defensive starters. That's a concern. I think
the numbers right. The spread move from seven about an
hour before the trade last week to now eight and
a half. Now I would tell you it's gonna rain.
But now we know that forecast can change. It's expected
to rain somewhere around kickoff. How hard it is?
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Is it light? I couldn't tell you. I'm not a
weather man, but I just look at the.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
Hour by hour by forecast because it was sunny up
till an hour ago in the Philly area. Now it's
starting to get cloudy.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
So I thought it was always sunny in Philadelphia's you
know what?
Speaker 9 (20:20):
You know what, I've rarely seen that show, and that's funny, good,
but just I've seen it like three or four times.
But you' oh I've seen it. Oh yeah, Danny to beat.
It's fantastic. It's so different. It's it's very it's very
good show, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
It's a very it's a very good show. Adam Kaplan
is our guest. He's our Fox Sports Radio NFL Incenter.
You hear him not just on our show, but all
of our family of shows. You're on the network. Okay,
let's let's work our way around. What is the league
reaction to Parsons in Greenville?
Speaker 9 (20:47):
Oh all right, So one former GM told me last week, Doug,
this is issue, he said, stop focusing on that. They
trade him to a team in their conference, competing for
a playoff spot. Focus on the value. I said, so
what do you mean by that? He goes, if I'm
giving up a top five defensive player, a probably a
problem Hall of Fame player. The guy's been in All
(21:08):
Pro two it was four years pro bowler, each of
us four years.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
I'm doing that. What's that?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Yeay y?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I heard you got an email by the way, I'm.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Sorry, yeah, sorry I put that. Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Yeah, you remember that one? You remember that one? No,
But what happened is Doug is that he said, look,
if you're giving up this player, you have to get
a big time starter back number one. Any first round
pick you get has got to be a high first
round pick. So I'd go back to twenty eighteen. Talking
to the Raiders. They're convinced. When they they they traded
(21:39):
to khlil Mack out of the conference to the lowly Bears.
They didn't think anything of the Bears. Well, who knew
that the Bears would make the playoffs that year. So
they're picked in their first round pick was not as
high as they thought. And I would say, Green Bay
is this GM. The former GM told me they should
pick anywhere from twenty six to thirty two, because you
get Michael Parsons on there, and by the way, that
was a major problem for them Green Baby's.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Or past Rush.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
I mean, now you got Rashaun Garret the other side
is a good football player. So overall, Doug, it's really
the talk around the league was, and I've talked to
easily ten people. They're all almost all of my I
talked a couple of coaches. It's from a coaching standpoint
how they look at this. But overall, most people thought
the Cowboys did not get good enough value because they
(22:24):
trade them to a team that's going to be good.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
The pick numbers won't be good.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Most likely we don't know yet, but most likely based
on what the Packers look like in their perennial playoff team. Anyway,
and they get Kenny Clark and Jerry Jones. Is a
fixation on stopping the run. I mean, you need to
control the run, you need to stop it. I know
they've been terrible against the run. Well, what Jerry did
say is they missed on Mazzie Smith, a first round
draft pick in twenty twenty three who barely made the
(22:49):
team out of Michigan and that's a big reason why
the run defense has been so bad.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Am Kaplin's our guest here, Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio.
Is there any pressure on the floor considering a little
disappointing last year and now you added in an elite
defensive player in a position to need and policy is
new right, Like he wasn't the president last year. Those
(23:17):
guys good and Guns hadn't been extended. He hasn't been extended.
Any pressure there.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
Ton, There's no question about it because when you make
a move. Brian Goodacust is their general manager who's pretty
aggressive now for many years and Goody got raised by
Ted Thompson and only Ted Thompson as the general manager,
so Ted was very conservative. It would not rarely other
than Charles Woodson get evolved in free agency and Gutacust
has kind of taken another turn here and he's been
(23:47):
pretty aggressive. He believes in doing it both ways drafted
free agency. So yeah, the pressures on everybody there. You
make a move like this, you give two first round picks,
albeit they probably won't be very high. Kenny clarksaid, by
the way, good tackle detackle. He's older, but you're going
for it like this is and they're clearly let me
explain something how it works in the National Football League.
(24:08):
When you make a move like this to get a
past rusher like this, you're clearly saying you're not good
enough in an area They weren't. As we said at
the start of the interview here or Talk Green Bay
knew that if they want to make a run, and
they have not done well in the playoffs, mat Befloor
has just not done well enough the playoffs, they better
make a run here.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
Because this is a very good roster.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Now you put Parsons on there, I don't think there's
any questions an excellent, excellent roster. This is the this
is the Doug Gottlieb Show, It is Fox Sports Radio.
A couple more here things to get to as we
go to tomorrow's game in in Brazil. What are the
thoughts on the Chiefs this year? They just figure it out.
(24:48):
They just seem to figure it out. But last year
was an off year statistically and in regular gameplay by
Pat Mahomes. Where is that offense now as opposed to
when we saw them last in Super Bowl?
Speaker 9 (25:00):
It's a Doug my understanding is they want to stretch
the field. They did not last year, and a part
of it was because of the problems that left tackle.
They went through not one, not two, not three, four
left tackles. It'll be Josh Simmons, their first round pick
out of Ohio State. It's had a phenomenal rehab coming
back from his torn Pateeller ten and he's actually ready.
He's going to start Week one. They feel really good
(25:20):
about that. Now they got to change it left guard,
so their left side is completely new. They traded their
their left guard to the Bears, and right tackle. They're
hopeful that Jwan Taylor reboundies on the Fannie Vers deal
a lot of guaranteed money. That's why they could't move
them. They would proably would have caught him if they all
this money wasn't guaranteed. So they're feeling better about their
(25:41):
offensive line. But yes, you saw against Philly and the
Super Bowl is an absolute joke. I mean, it's just
bad like they missed it left tackle. But they like
Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown's back, he's healthy. They feel good
about that. Don't forget Pacheco. They're starting running back got hurt.
He broke his leg. And then he came back late
wasn't himself. So they're film really good about that. Pretty
good defense. The one area that they have which I
(26:02):
believe will keep him out of the super Bowl is
at corner. They're just not good enough.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
There.
Speaker 9 (26:05):
McDuffie's terrific Trent mcduffy, whether he lines up inside or outside,
but the the other corner spots they're not good.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
That's a problem for me.
Speaker 9 (26:14):
We saw it against Philly that got beat if Eagles
didn't have to throw the ball very much at all,
but when they did, they were super successful. That is
a concern of mine if you're Chiefs fan. I do
radio and WHB every week all season, and I said
that today like then. I'm sure they weren't happy with me.
But my job is to tell the truth, and I
ask NFL people, what do you think? A couple of
people pointed out to me, and I saw the same thing.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
So we'll see.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
They're gonna as you said, they're gonna make a run.
There's no doubt. But one of these days one of
the best quarterbacks in the regular season NFL history, la
Mark Jackson's actually gonna get done the playoffs when he
does look out.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Okay, So that's that's the question, right is it.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
That's where I'm going.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Well, all right, you can know Lamar Jackson, Dan and
I had a great discussion yesterday over like storyline, I
said the same thing. But there's also the Josh Allen
at some point is one of the great questions. Hasn't
gotten there either, Bill's in general.
Speaker 9 (27:03):
Yeah, maybe they might win a ring, but anyway, Yeah,
So with Baltimore, they addressed some issues. They they extended
Ronnie Stanley's contract. The left tackle kind of rebounded from
being heard quite a bit. And Mark anders Is back
from his injury. That was big for them. That was impactful.
You got you know when he got hurt defensively, they
addressed their issue with safety next to Kyle Hamilton, they
(27:25):
thought they need more help at corner.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
They did.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
They got Jyry, Alexander van Noy's back. This team is
completely they're the most to me, the most complete team.
Like if you ask NFL people, it's hard for them
to pick it apart. Now, one thing I would bring up,
could Derrick Henry and I look having Lamar Jackson, They're
clearly helps. Dereck Henry is now thirty one years old.
The Titans did not want him, as I was told
(27:48):
then when they moved on from him, they they made
a decision he wasn't going to come back. In fact,
they they could have worked it out the year before
that free agency las year they would have traded him,
but didn't work out. Bottom line is he's he may
he may be a Hall of Famer, like he turned
his career around after a slow start.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
He's ten years in.
Speaker 9 (28:07):
He's great at what at some point, Doug, You've studied
this league a number of years, and you know as
an athlete and a coach, at some point there's a
major drop off at running back.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
And obviously the Ravens are hoping it won't be the season.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I would hope too, because it's not my fantasy team.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
He's good.
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Well, no, I'm going to tell you, but I'm gonna
tell why I'm gonna like him this year. So one
of the coaches told me when I went to their camp.
You know I said last year to him, said, hey,
how's it working. He goes watch practice today with Lamar
and Derrick Henry. The thing with Derrick Henry is you
don't know if Lamar is going to keep the ball
or not, so they crashed on him or play action
(28:46):
and if Mark Andrews was healthier, Isaiah likely.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Also was hurt, but he'll be he'll be back relatively soon.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
But you just don't. You don't know how to stop them,
and that went up happening. It didn't happen early on
though people forget. They didn't start off great. But once
they got that train running mother than Philly, the Eagles
shut them down. In Baltimore they were phenomenal. And I
again with Bateman z Flowers, I know they think eternally
that this is one of the better offensive lines they
put together a long time. Why, I mean, I just don't.
(29:15):
They're right there with Kansas City and in Buffalo. It's
amazing how good those three teams are. But my pick
is Baltimore to get the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Adam Kaplan Fox Sports Radio's NFL in Cider Coast of
Inside the Birds podcast. Enjoy the game tonight, we'll talk
to next week.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
Sounds good.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
It's The Doug Gottlieb Show. You're listening to Fox Sports radio.
Everyone to try an Olympic and Paralympic sport. Try and fencing.
It's fast, safe, easy to start. Find a beginner class
near you at USA Fencing dot org slash try fencing.
(29:56):
That's USA Fencing dot org slash Try fencing, guys. I'm
just visualizing, Okay, like in twenty nine, twenty twenty nine,
after fencing becomes big, then think about you guys are
right off a ventur Of Boulevard, right, and if you
go down ventur Of Boulevard there's basically anything you can
think of made into a fitness studio. And now people
do ax throwing for fun, group gathering activities. How do
(30:20):
we not have a fencing like either women's fencing with
music you know to it, or a fencing bar? Right? Ah,
you get your eyes stabbed out by a what's it
called pure three?
Speaker 4 (30:34):
There's three style.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Actually took fencing lessons growing up, so it's a fa
foil and saber, and I did specialize in foil. Oh sorry,
Jason threw a pen at him. But you need you
need like the vest, you need the mesh helmet, and
you need to be able to spar with an electrical
system hooked up so a just fun. It gets really
hot though under that gear. Really it prepared you for
playing the foil on the doug out right exactly well.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Exactly, yeah, Jay stew I apologize this is your least
favorite cheesy saying, but I did not have anyone playing
learning how to fence growing up on my Bengo card.
I just did not.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
The University of Io at their fieldhouse, their old fieldhouse
where the Iowa Hawkeyes used to play basketball, they offered
free lessons and so every Wednesday night, so I would
go down there and for three good.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Way to meet chicks. Let's get to Dan Bayer in
the game in a game.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
This is game time.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
On the doute, I will point out. Okay, I'm thinking
about it now. My first date with my ex wife,
right was at Eskimo Joes. You guys we talked about
last year. I was there. There were there was swing
dance lessons going on on the main floor. We broadcast
from last year, Dan Byer, there was swing dance lessons
going on down there while we were above. It was
(31:54):
not in the swing dance. In hindsight, like that would
be a good first first eight, right, we went swing dance.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
That was really good. Did have this?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Wish I could have said I did that. I did
not bacon cheese fries after at night of dancing.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Yes, yeah, I'd eat that after I dance first, then
have the cheese fries, not the other way around.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Oh they were magnificent, all right, Doug. The game today is.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I feel a draft.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
It's a yearly tradition, unlike any other Unlike any other
no other show is doing this, By the way, no
other show is going to do this topic today. Super
Bowl sixty winners. Here's the great thing is we can
draft multiple teams right now. It's set up for two rounds. Doug.
You have the first pick. Sam is second, Jason third.
I am fourth, and then we will reverse it in
(32:41):
the second round teams that you think can win Super
Bowl sixty. Super Bowl time.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I'll go first. I will take a will take the
Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
The Chiefs are going to be your Super Bowl winner.
That's when you make your picks because you got the
first pick here.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Well, okay, but this is in regards to probability, right,
That's how my mind is calculating this. If I had
to guess, I don't think the Chiefs are the best
team in the AFC. I get ben, but they keep
getting to the Super Bowl or the AFC Championship game,
and they have Patrick Mahomes and they have all that experience.
So yeah, I'll go with can't see Chiefs again until
(33:23):
proven otherwise.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
All right, Sam, you are up. Who's your Super Bowl winner?
If it's not Kansas City? Oh man?
Speaker 8 (33:32):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Did you have the Chiefs? By the way, Yeah, no,
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Okay, uh you know, I'm just gonna I'm gonna hitch
my wagon too. The La rams baby ram it all day.
John Ramos is happy. Keep that back healthy. Matt Stafford.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
So neither of you on the NFL's first day have
a Super Bowl pick ready to go. I just want
to make I just want to clarify that.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I've had a couple of names juggling around my head.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Okay, all right, all right, Still I guess a little different.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Well, you're making this pick four different teams on here,
and I'm like, do I have to mark, let's.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Go, we won't get through it. Let's just go, we
won't get through it. Go ahead, who's next?
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Jason Stewart is third?
Speaker 6 (34:11):
All right, guys, I guess you could just hand this
to me. So I'll take the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles,
a philadelp six fifty right now to win the Super Bowl.
The best odds you're gonna get. Kansas City Chiefs were fourth,
Rams were eleventh, Philadelphia Philadelphia.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
I do have a super Bowl pick, and I'm going
to pick the team that I picked them all Bills,
the Denver Broncos. The Denver Broncos. Yes, last time they
played a Super Bowl in that stadium, they top the Panthers.
Give me Denver and I'll take Buffalo, the team that
I think Denver's gonna beat in the AFC Championship game
(34:51):
with my next pick, So I'll take the Bills.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
So you don't even have my team that I'm about
to pick in the your AFC title game. This is
how far you are. The Baltimore Ravens are headed by
Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
This season, Ravens.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Sam Mmmm, you know what, I'm a fan of them.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I don't know if I'm gonna go with the Packers.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Killing me kid.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I think they're gonna have a good team this year.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Green Bay is gonna have a good team this year.
Is gonna have a good team this year. Big Leaf,
Big Lee. I'm gonna go with the l A Chargers
Dream big Kids.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
That is quite the dream. Yeah you got another one.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah, Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Oh, Joe Burrow led Sam, Do you have another team
you'd like to think?
Speaker 3 (35:57):
