It's a great way of basically exposing what we watched

(01:24):
and what we cared about this weekend. It's also a
good way of talking about other topics. We call it
love and hate.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
What did you love?

Speaker 1 (01:31):
God?

Speaker 2 (01:31):
I love you? And what did you hate?

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Meet these player haters?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
What'd you love from the weekend? What'd you hate from
the weekend? Love? Love, love, hate hate hate? Dude? Do
do bum bum bum bubb bo bum bum by? Uh boy?
I know what I hated? That one's pretty easy. There

(01:59):
are two. It was God, there's a play I really hated.
Let me tell you the start with what I loved,
but I want to start with Dan Byer because he's
a resident lover.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Boy.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
dB, what you got, Doug? I don't know if I
should love or hate it, because I hated the first
two days of the Ryder Cup for the United States. However,
I did love on Sunday the comeback and the fire
that they had. It does tell me a little bit
that maybe this is the problem with the US Ryder
Cup team, is that they are so great in their
individual aspects, but some reason it does not translate into

(02:34):
the team aspect. But if the US would have just
laid down on Sunday, it would have been a completely
wasted weekend. Yeah, it was you. You were you were singing.
I know, I know. I just couldn't realize. I was
just saying I felt that it was good that the

(02:55):
US came back on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
I'll tell you what I love here real quick. Okay,
what do you say? What do you think of I'm sorry, I.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Just think there's a lot of meat on that bone
at the Ryder Cup. We have a golf expert on
the show. So many theatrics, so many insults. I thought
the American fans looked like a bunch of jerks, Dan,
are you as most of us were with the way
the Americans treated the Europeans on the course this weekend, Doug, I.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Was completely uncomfortable, Dan, what do you think?

Speaker 3 (03:30):
I think that I think there was an awful look,
like there is a line. And I feel that with
all the hype that we gave to this Ryder Cup
being at Bethpage Black, that the fan base there was
set up for it and felt entitled to treat like this,
treat the players like this. I mean, they had an
MC that they the PGA of America, had hired that

(03:54):
gets on the mic and yells bleep you Rory on
Saturday to go along with the chance, and I just
it's it was an awful look, the atrocious look, and
I felt that the build up to it enabled all
of this. Oh wait till they get the bath Page.
Bath Page is gonna get rowdy. I would have hate

(04:14):
to have seen would have been like if the US
was winning, because I almost think it could have been worse, because.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
It's embarrassing that we got smoked. We were getting smoked
and we were acting with that.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Way and yeah, so like I don't know which way
to take it, but it really was embarrassing. And I
don't want to see Shane Lowry jumping around the green
when they win the Ryder Cup. I wish the US
would have won that match, however, or won any of
those matches over the weekend on Friday and Saturday. However,
it is a competition. They came in and handed the

(04:44):
US their lunch. That's what it's all about. It's not
about yelling bleep you Rory and heckling Rory's family and yeah,
just yelling things to Shane Lowry that crossed the line
of heckling. Having fans kicked out. What are we doing?
Such a ridiculous, just ridiculous atmosphere that I felt was

(05:06):
built up because that's all we said. Wait till they
get the Beth Page, all those New York fans and
then the New York fans.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Hey, New York enjoy the Mets playoff run. Oh wait,
they don't have one. You just you embarrass the entire country.
And as much as you can write it off as like,
well that's just maga idiots, apparently that's who we are, right,
That's who we are, right, That's who we have become,

(05:33):
whether you like it or not. Okay, it's it's just
like anything people bring in the predetermined bias as to
who Americans are, and because our president goes, you know,
in New York at the at the United Nations and
says like all of your countries are going to hell, right,
and starts just trashing everybody else. Then all these other

(05:55):
idiots like, yeah, you suck Rory like that. That's again,
It doesn't mean you have to golf clap, It doesn't
mean you can't cheer wildly, it doesn't mean you can't boo.
But it's like you said, Dan, everybody knows the line,
and we were so far over the line. You know that.

(06:17):
You got golfers saying if you fu f you. They're
only doing that if they're just tired of the verbal abuse.
They've just had it. And by the way, eat it.
We lost. You look like the world's biggest clown. That's
what athletes actually think, right when you lose, Like, hey man,
you gotta shake hands. That that's it. You don't have
to like it. You gotta shake hands. When fans continue

(06:39):
to year after losing you, you just appear to be
the biggest losers ever, even if you're a super successful guy. Whatever,
that's your inner hate, whatever, you just you make us
all look like clowns. I thought that was which just
I'm just I'm just so fired up. About it.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
We went on to a different track there. Sorry, but
it's okay, it's all, it's all in all right.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Let me tell you what I love speaking of idiot fans. Okay,
how many idiots that think of themselves as Alabama fans?
Said fire Kaylin de Boor, hey's an embarrassment. Bring back
Nick Sabement. I don't care if it cost you seven
million dollars to get rid of them. Get rid of them.
Alabama football is going to hell. It's going to hell.

(07:24):
And what they what they do?

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Saturday, Dann Bayer went to Athens and won.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yes, led from kickoff to finish. Okay, we stood an
unbelievable comeback from a really good, really well coached football
team with a really good ground game. Like Georgia didn't
play terribly. Alabama was just better. So all of you
just know. I love it. I got video on my
social media. This lady was like, if I win the lottery,

(07:52):
first thing I'm gonna do is get rid of Kailin
de Boor. Hey, lady, you sound like an idiot because
this is what happens with fans. You don't I don't
know about what you don't know about. Guys got a
new quarterback, got half a new team. They had to
go into Florida State first week of the season, and
they got beat from another team that's pretty good, probably
way better than you think, maybe not as good as
they look that day. It's one game. It's what you
do over the lifespan the season. Let the guy coach

(08:14):
and Kaitlyn de Bork, congratulations. I love that you went
in there and beat George's ass. All right, what he
got there?

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Just this is a love filled with lots of tension
and hate. That's fine though, Go ahead, Jason.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
I love that Aaron Rodgers played well. I love that
the Steelers won. I pull for Aaron Rodgers. I pull
for interesting people. I want him to succeed, so it's
great to see him succeed. He looks really like he's
having fun too. I don't know if you guys watched
kind of his demeanor yesterday. It looks like a guy

(08:45):
who's like, this is my last season. I'm going to
enjoy every last minute of it. It got a little
dicey at the end, but it doesn't matter. And the
only thing I like better than watching Aaron Rodgers win
is when Aaron Rodgers wins me money because for the
fourth straight week in a row, I have put my good,
hard earned money on the team against Colin Cowherd's favorite

(09:10):
choice of the weekend.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
It's your favorite thing. And it worked again.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
He loved the Vikings, loved and of course I put
money on the Steelers and got up in the middle
of the second quarter and watch the rest game and
really like that. Do you guys know how hard it
is to miss four games? It's just as hard as
getting four games right, It's hard. It's just as hard

(09:33):
to go four and oh than it is zero to four.
So again, when Cowherd says this is the one that
I like most this weekend, put money down on the
other one and that's me.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Money.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Credit to the Vikings. They did make it interesting late.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
But but what Sam doesn't understand, and he pointed that
out on text two, and I get it. Sam doesn't gamble.
It's not that Cowherd said that the Vikings might pull
it off rarely.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
He liked them.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
He he was wondering why it was a two and
a half point spread. He thought it was gonna be
at least a seven point outcome.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
I get that.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
So just just them making it close doesn't count right, right, right,
and in this conversation, but.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Understand, shall I go?

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yes, you should.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Well, I had a my second ever NFL Sunday. That's
what I love, and thanks to Scott Shapiro made that happen.
Had some uh tickets for some people here at FSR
to go to the Rams hosting the undefeated Colts. So
I was sitting next to uh Covino rich producer Danny
g and his uh his steps on a j and
then I brought my friend Dylan Uh. You know it's

(10:44):
I think the only way you can really go to
these games, especially in place like La affordably is to
get something completely for free. So I love that I
got free tickets. He still got to pay for parking,
which is ridiculous even off site, but we we had
an off site parking spot, a little tailgating.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (10:59):
The clouds out beautiful day, had some great seats down
at one hundred level. It was a little hot in their
litt Muggy gets a little muggy in there in so far,
but it was a It was a fun game. It
was kind of locked at thirteen to ten for a while,
and the inn the last few minutes the Rams kind
of came back with an explosion of points and you know,
you can't you can't not bring up a don A

(11:20):
Mitchell's a fumble as he was going over the goal line.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
That was a big break for the Rams. Big break
for the Rams.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
And but still the Colts had a twenty to thirteen
lead late and the Rams was exploded. And then it
was Matthew Staffers's longest ever pass play to to two
at well eighty eight yards.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
He had a nice game.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
He kind of dinked and dunked a lot, and then
he had that huge pass play and exciting way to
end it. The place was nuts. The Rams fans were great.
I had a great time. You make a day of
a game like that, like you gotta get down there,
you gotta get back. You know, he sped six seven
hours just going to a game, but I loved it.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
I had a great time. Jase to I can I
quick jump in just some thing quick? Sure? That explains
why you thought the Vikings, you know, made it close
at the end because you were all tailgating, right, you
probably didn't see watching.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Yeah, well that game, yeah, I mean I was falling
along with it. But that game was over by like
local time. We hadn't even left yet.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, a bunch of like the Steelers, some of their
decisions let the Vikings bat shit. But also ad Ni
Mitchell had a holding call on Jonathan Taylor's touchdown run
late in the game.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Night Mitchell, I mean like I wanted to get I mean,
I don't think he was showboating when he lost the football.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
No, No, it was weird doing. I think he was switching.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
I don't know, he was like moving, he was kind
of maybe changing hands with the ball, but it just no,
he was.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
He was, definitely he was. He was. He was about to.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Hold it up, hold up over the goal line.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
I think he was about to hold it up after
they went into the end zone, and it slipped out
of his hand.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
Right before he walked over. And that was like the
whole dynamic of inside SOFI changed. There were a lot
of Colts fans there too, Credit to them, but that
was that was crazy.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
And then the way the game ended was.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Was so we don't we're not putting this in the
category of all these uh weave the boss right before the.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Well I was going to get to that with my
hate Well we'll talk about that with the hate. Let's
get Jay Stu, get to your get your love.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
I love Aaron Rodgers and I love the Steelers winning
me money yesterday.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
There you go. Let's see. Oh we did, we did?
I'm I'm so wrapped up in in uh in yours
all right, Let's get to hate. Let's start with our
resident hater, Jay Stu.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
I was a part of the millions of people on
Twitter who were in Adam Schefter's mentions yesterday. I don't
know if you guys saw this. This might be a
little too inside baseball. I know Buyer followed it. I
think Schefter has a problem with people who were raised
in southern California. He took dead aim at Doug Gottlieb

(13:52):
Blest December, and then he screwed me over this weekend.
So I have Jalen Warren on my fantasy team, and
like millions of people across the country, I went to
bed Saturday night with a report from Adam Schefter that
Jalen Warren would be active for the game in Ireland.

(14:15):
So I left him in my lineup and I went
to sleep. I wake up into the first quarter and
I check my phone and Jalen Warren in the meantime
was scheduled as an inactive and all those people that
went to sleep thinking Jalen Warren was fine and left
them in the lineup were all over Schefter's mentioned. I

(14:39):
think this is insider malpractice. I think that Schefter and
the coaches and the NFL needs to do a better
job of catering to fantasy owners. I was an Adam
Schefter casualty on Sunday and I'm still pissed off about it.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Okay, Damn Meyer, Wow, there is a lot to get to.
I will say this, this is some bad audio, but
this is what James Franklin had to say after Penn
State lost in overtime to Oregon. I hope you guys
can hear it. Sammy may have to turn down the
music a little bit just because we didn't get a
good mic on this. This is James frank I kind

(15:18):
of look at the entire picture. I get that narrative,
and it's really not a narrative.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
It's fatchual. It's the facts. I get it. But I
try to look at the entire picture and what we've
been able to do here. But at the end of
the day, we've got to find a way to win
those games, and I take ownership and I take responsibility.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
This sat with me all weekend in hearing that sound bite,
because at first I thought that I loved it that
he recognized the noise, and then as I listened to
it and thought about it more, I almost feel that
he's trying to dismiss the noise. And I'm curious and
your thoughts, Doug on that, because I don't think a

(15:59):
lot of times we're air to James Franklin, but the
numbers are the numbers. Like now, Oregon was ranked sixth,
so we expand instead of top five, we say top
six teams. That's not necessarily fair. That's just trying to
make a stat look worse than maybe what it is.
But it's not good with James Franklin. And so it
sat with me yesterday at this time, if you would

(16:19):
to talk to me, and I said, that's good for
James Franklin owning it up. But as it's gone on
and on, I almost feel like he's dismissing it by saying, yeah,
I know what's there, but this is what's going on.
So it just kind of got to bother me more
and more.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
Speaking of recognizing the noise, it sounded like James Franklin
was doing that press conference from a jet.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Well, that's that's the problem. There's for some reason this
is old audio stuff. But all we can get our
people holding cell phones. Even the official like press conference
video that we were trying to pull from was far away,
but it was loud and clear to me. Dan, Yeah,
I just I don't know. I get the narrative. Two
and twenty one against top six teams.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Fifteen e oh, it's impossible to get away from.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
And I feel that's what he was trying to say. Yeah,
But in a way, I also feel that he's dismissing
it by just saying, all right, that it's factual. I
don't know. Maybe I was right yesterday in my feeling
about it, but today I feel differently.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
I just look at four and twenty one against top
ten teams. Those are facts, Jack, So there you.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Got star facts? Jack. What do you got there? Sammy?

Speaker 5 (17:25):
Well, my hate is how the Iowa Indiana game ended
on Saturday. Iowa had not welcomed a ranked team to
Kinnick Stadium for three seasons, which is kind of hard
to believe. They had had dog pooh opponents coming to
town for a couple of seasons they fad. They finally
get a really good Indiana team at number eleven coming
in and the whole game was tense. I mean, by

(17:45):
the time it was over, I was chewed up and
spat out. I was just I felt like I just,
I don't know, just a crime had been committed and
I was there traumatized. I think that a lot of
Iowa fans expected Iowa just kind of get their pants
pulled down.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
They didn't.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
They really battled in the game. But then you get
to the final three minutes and Iowa picks off quarterback
Indiana quarterback Fernanda Mendoza's first interception of the year. They
returned it all the way to I think the IU
twenty nine yard line. On this By the way, Iowa's
quarterback Mark Ronowski had been out the entire fourth quarter
with injury, which sucked and does still suck because we
don't really know his status right now. So in comes

(18:23):
Auburn transfer Hank Brown. They try to get it in
field grange.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
They do.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
They get it to a forty two yard attempt and
iowas very reliable kicker Drew Stevens. This is all with
three under three minutes ago. Drew Stevens kicks a wobbler.
It goes wide left. I don't know if the hold
was great, I don't know, but it didn't go in
and usually Drew Stevens's money, so they could have gone
up sixteen thirteen. Anyway, they give the ball back to Indiana,
and Indiana hits a long pass play, breaks a tackle,

(18:49):
and their guy sarat I believe that's his name, takes
it in for a touchdown, and Indiana wins twenty to
fifteen after a very weird safety that even Mendoza acknowledged
afterward cooked them spread, as he said, all right, that
was just that was just a tough, tough way to lose.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
All right, I'll give you a tough way to lose.
Deuce Robinson's going in the end zone for Florida State.
That ball is thrown to him before the goal line,
and he catches it, bobbles it, tip whatever catch it,
gets it into his possession, gets both feet down. Then
while his feet are in the air before he steps
out of bounds, he like automatically adjusts it to one hand.

(19:26):
But because he adjusted that split second, it appears that
he doesn't have control. Okay, I just just kind of
let's go around here, Dan, you know the play I'm
talking about? Correct? Yes, did he catch the football?

Speaker 3 (19:39):
I don't think so?

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Oh no, no, No, I'm not saying did he illegally catch
it with the with the ball adjusted, like if you're.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Like he catch it when he was out of the
end zone?

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yes? Okay, Sam, do you think he caught the football? Okay?
Jay stue? Probably not from a to play there not what.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
I and I have no problems, admitted on the air,
as Sam was, I'm not familiar with the play, but.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
It was a crazy game. Virginia had the lead, Florida
State going down trying to win the game. Whatever, and
you'll you'll see it. It's one of the craziest catch
no catch, I rule it the greatest incomplete shit, greatest
incomplete catch of all time.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
I watched that game and I don't I don't recall that.
But twelve yards through the end zone.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Okay, okay, I'll send it to you right.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Issue with go ahead?

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Sorry, No, no, it's what I what I hate is
he caught it, but it's not a complete pass and
it just it Also, it just shows like all it's
gonna sit there and goes like, wow, Mike nor Valley
lost to Virginia, like that game okay, but they the
game was not and I felt like it was one
of the great field stormings of all time. But they
came in fast. They came in fast and hot. Has

(20:56):
anybody found that Florida state wide receiver that that was
laying on the ground when they went It looked like
he got trampled. Maybe he didn't get trampled. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
They put out a statement saying he's okay, but it
definitely looked like he was dead, like they killed him.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
It looked like they killed him Virginia, right, And for
Virginia fans, think about it, how the hard that is.
You're Virginia fan, right, You're not used to good football.
You got your sweater tied around your neck, you got
your tea in one hand, right, you got your monocle
on the other hand, and now you've got to run
on a football field. That's really hard, very difficult for
Virginia fans.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
Could we point out the fact that that was funny?

Speaker 1 (21:29):
I thought that was funny. That was no nothing from them, zero, Okay,
go ahead, I'm sorry geez too.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
I'd like to point out the fact that half of
the Jay's two team parway was Virginia and that Sam
had the balls to go right after me in the
gambler and put his money on Florida State. We all
know how that ended up, thank you.

Speaker 5 (21:51):
I uh yeah, and I did. I thought Florida State
would win this one convincingly. They did not double overtime game.
They couldn't even cover it. Florida State could not have
even covered if they wanted to. They would only won
by a few points, two points, whatever. But I did
have a problem with that field storming. It looked amazing,
but that looked super dangerous and Virginia was fine fifty

(22:12):
grand for that. So I was like, just it was
just too fast, too much. It was like just people
flooding onto the field really too fast, too furious, too fast,
too furious. I just it looked dangerous for the players.
I love the enthusiasm from the fans and they have
been waiting a long time, but man, that was just
that looked a little out of control.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
And that is love.

guys know what else happened yesterday that nobody in our
business seems to pay attention to. Last day of Major

(23:07):
Major League Baseball's regular season. Mets didn't make it, Reds
did make it. The Yankees and Dodgers end up red hot,
Red Sox Yankees upcoming. You got Cubs and Padres as
a wild card kind of play in the series. What

(23:27):
else did I miss there? Jase two as Major League Baseball,
the Astros are not in the playoffs, which I got
my wish. That was my one team I wanted out
of the playoffs. Thank you very much. That happened. I
think Friday was it their official limitar earlier in the week. Anyway,
not a ton of surprises though, right you got Yankees,
Red Sox. Obviously, the Brewers having the best record in

(23:47):
the Nation League is a surprise. The if the Mets
not making it is a surprise. Yes something.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Know what I was gonna say was I think yesterday
was a little bit of a letdown because neither the
Reds or Mets won. The Mets didn't even score a run.
So like where you had something that was you were watching,
it was trying to hold like neither team won yesterday.
In the Al Central, where there could have been a
little bit of drama, the Guardians had the tiebreaker over

(24:19):
the Tigers, so even when the Tigers lost, it was
over that the Guardians were going to win. And then
the Blue Jays just kind of ran away from the
Rays and they had the tiebreaker against the Yankees. There
was a little bit of drama at one point there,
but otherwise I think things just kind of fell in
that no point did it like fluctuate throughout the day
because we were because I was here yesterday and we

(24:40):
had my show, we had three different shows because we
had like Ryder Cup, we had baseball, and obviously the NFL.
We were trying to track everything. But at no point
was it really like, oh, this switched or this changed.
I mean the Mets again, they were skunked yesterday.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
You've made it known how you feel about the moves
they made, Jay Stu, But what do you think of
the Dodgers draw.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
I'm not secure with it. I think that the Reds
are probably the scariest team coming in because they're playing
some of the best ball in baseball. Dodgers tend to
play down to their competition. Their payroll is so much
greater and their talent is so much greater, which scares me.
Their bullpen remember that whole thing at the trade deadline.

(25:29):
Our trade deadline is going to be people coming off
the DL or I L and that didn't work out.
Tanner Scott has been just atrocious. I'm going to not
be fooled by how they finished the season. They seemingly
put all of their bugaboos out to pasture this weekend
over the Mariners. But I'm not going to be fooled

(25:51):
by that. I have used this analogy before. Being a
Dodger fan is like being the child of a drunk father.
You never know what father is going to walk to
the door and the uh, so you're stressed and there's
a lot of tension and just anticipating them him coming
through the door. Dodger fans, I could speak for all

(26:12):
of us. We have no idea what team's going to
show up tomorrow, and that scares the crap out of us.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
I just I look at it, and I go, man,
do I want the Cubs Brewers so bad? We have
Red Sox Yankees. I want the Cubs Brewers. I just
do because of Yeah, I'm not just proximity, and they're
not traditional rivals because you know, for eighty some odd
years or felt like the Brewers were the AL Central.
Now they're NL Central. But because you have Counsel who left,

(26:45):
because the Brewers, who have no big names, have made
themselves into a name, I think like that's the series
I want, maybe more than anything. I already got Yankees,
Red Sox. I'd like to have Dodgers Yankees in the
World Series again, or Red Sox Dodgers in the World
Series again. But the one I want is Brewers and
Brewers and Cups brewising cups. Bio. What series do you

(27:07):
want most?

Speaker 3 (27:09):
I don't really care about series, just because I just
hope the Brewers do well. Get them a huge huge
baseball fan, but I would like to see them go
through it. What I do like, though, Doug, is I
do like at least in the AL, like we've got
the matchups of like Red Sox Yankees.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Perfect first week in the essentral we couldn't figure out
who was who is going to win yet. Guess what.
Now We've got Detroit and Cleveland playing in their own
opening series, so there's a divisional matchup there. We've got
good first round series. I don't know Red's Dodgers. I'll
tell you what, late seventies or nineteen seventies Reds fans

(27:45):
and Dodgers fans will love that series, Big Red Machine. Yes, absolutely,
So that's a little bit of a blast in the past.
But I think we've got some good matchups in these
in these early rounds, and that's that's what I'm happy for.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Okay, here's the Q question. Who's the manager of the Indians.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Stephen vote the Guardians?

Speaker 1 (28:05):
How did you know that? Did you know that? Jay Stu?

Speaker 4 (28:10):
I think he was one of the ones I got
right when we did my manager.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
I'm just asking you a question. Did you know that? When
I said it?

Speaker 3 (28:16):
I can't wait.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
I don't call him vote so I trust Buyer's.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Pronounces funciation is probably right. Ours is wrong. I didn't like.
I immediately thought Tito Francona. There's immediately what I thought.
Then I'm like, wait a second, No, he's the Red
sext Wait a second, No he's not. He's the Reds.
Oh my god. I can't handle any of this Tito
Francona stuff. That's the hard part.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
For me, isn't that? Isn't that kind of the subtext.
I haven't seen much riding on this, but Tito Francona
leads yet another team to the postseason. This is a
Reds team. Nobody had any expectations.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
For Cole's crasbo doing this year. Let's get to Dan
Byer with a quick update.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Dannybody got I got some trivia for you guys. Who's
the manager of the Twins? Baul Delly wrong fired today
after seven? Oh no, take.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
That one in the you try and out smart things
and he had outside outsmart yourself. Remember the story of
last week with the Ravens. It was that Dion Sanders said, thanks, no, thanks,
don't draft my kid. I want him to play so instead,
And I don't know if he would have beaten out
Cooper Rush and been the backup, but he would have played.

(29:28):
He would have he would have he would have played.
It is the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Okay,
so we have Monday night football. Dolphins are two and
a half point favorite against the Jets, are playing at
home Broncos seven and a half point favorite against the Bengals.
Bengals are two to one on the season. No Joe Burrow,
they're one and one without Joe Burrow. Uh, do you

(29:51):
stay up to watch these games? Because like the first one,
two bad football teams, you have it on. Remember, this
is the staggered start, right, So this is so this
is where one is ending and the other one is beginning.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
No, it's the it's they're back to back. Well, no,
that's the staggered start. Is one is started and then
the other one starts an hour.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Is the overlapping start?

Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Correct, Okay, my bad terms. Wrong, I screwed up. It's
the overlapping start. So you could technically get away with
like just watch the second half of the first game
and then when you click it on, like Denver and
Cincinnati might be interesting. Tonight is about Tonight's about two things.
It's about the Dolphins. Are they just gonna completely quit?
A Mike McDaniel. And then for the Broncos, A lot

(30:38):
of hype around this team. Last year they played nobody.
This is a game at home, extra day to prepare
backup quarterback. You should win, But they have not looked
like they They've taken a step in the right direction
the offseason. Lean byer. My lean would be Bengals plus

(30:58):
seven and a half, but I would take the Dolphins
minus two and a half.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yes, it's tricky for me. I like that Bengal side,
even though I picked the Broncos to win the Super
Bowl this year, They've got off to a slow start
with just the one and two record. Probably should have
beaten the Colts, but they had that penalty. I just don't.
I just am worried if I'm on the Bengal side,
which I would if I had to put my money
where my mouth is on the Bengals against stopping Denver.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
The press.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Odell Beckham Junior made his case to the NFL get
rid of turf, this on the heels of the injury
suffered by Giants wide receiver Molik Neighbors yesterday in their
win over your guys Chargers when Malik neighbors confirm today
done for the year because of a torn ACL.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
There have been videos of other players going down with
an ACL at MetLife. Obviously that that turf people who
they want to blame the turf. I don't know enough
about it. It is interesting though, if you go back
twenty years ago when field turf first came out, people
were like, app all those turf problems are solved. Nope,
same stuff I find.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, I Doug, I feel like we're the generation where
it is deja vous all over again.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah, yeah, no, I mean again. And Jason, I know
you and Sammy kind of came into radio late in it,
but it was like early two thousands we were sold
that this kind of they had these rubber little pellets.
It was more giving, it was softer, it was better.
You're like, nop, it's a slightly better version of the

(33:27):
same problem. Doesn't mean that it causes every injury. Some
injuries are occur on on grass, but the rate is
fourteen percent higher injury rates.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
And there was a one point at the old Met Life.
Remember they took out the they took out the turf
and put in grass for a while. Now this is
obviously the new facility they built next door. Feels like
we keep going, yeah, what do you got saying? I'm sorry?

Speaker 5 (33:54):
I just feel like we keep going back and forth
with this and and you know, even I think it
was for one of the first Colorado games this year,
Coach Prime was talking about how like the grass was
too slippery. But then we're always like, well, grass should
all be grass, and then there's something wrong with the grass.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Now.

Speaker 5 (34:08):
I think that they're adding some kind of like wood
pellet or like a sawdust to turf now to make
it better.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
It fake turf. Yeah, and the field in Glendale it's
difficult to get the deep roots into a sliding tray
for whatever reason. Now, the NFL said that they overwatered
the Super Bowl fifty seven, But I don't know how
great those tracks are in Las Vegas and in Arizona,
when you have the turf wheeled in and out. But

(34:35):
when you want to have those facilities that have closed roofs,
I don't know what you do. Yep, I don't know
what you do with the Philadelphia egos. Therefore, no but
aj Brown had just two catches for seven yards on
nine targets yesterday and Doug. I don't know if you
saw this, but after the game posted a tweet. If
you're not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw, don't make

(34:57):
a scene, shrug your shoulders and be on your way. End.
Quote this from a FOURI and zero team.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
So weird. What do you accounted to?

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Well?

Speaker 3 (35:13):
I think that this is status quo with AJ Brown.
He's more interested in AJ Brown than the Philadelphia Eagles.
He sulked after a playoff win against the Giants. I
feel like I say it a hundred times on this,
but I always go back to that point. This was
when they went to the first Super Bowl of the
Sirianni era, when AJ Brown was there. They beat New
York in the divisional playoff game and he was mad

(35:34):
that he only got three catches. So then you got
to throw him a pass in the NFC Championship right
away to get him engaged. Last year, using the book
on the sidelines and people are buying it. It's like, oh, man,
look at this guy. Look at this guy.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Nice?

Speaker 3 (35:48):
Yeah, who's reading a book on the sidelines.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Ever, ever, I will say that last week after they won,
he had some good comments about not getting the ball. Hey,
we got lots of good guys in this team whatever,
but the problem was that time he doesn't get his way,
he regresses to the me.

Speaker 4 (36:02):
Yeah, he's like every guy. We have this in poker.
I'm sure Dan, you've seen this in golf. Good round,
good guy, yes, bad round, bad guy, big Chipley, big
chips sack, good guy, great guy, charming guy.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Yep, yep. I could get that way of the golf
courts a little bit. I hate to admit it. Oh,
I've noticed, yeah, forty that his quarterback Brock Perty had
a setback with his toe injury. His status for Thursday's
game against the Rams up in the air. Head coach
Kyle Shanahan said Perty was dealing with Sornis in the toe.
After the game, they got a short week again Thursday.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Is in his Sergeant Holka, Yes, it's big toe.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
You lose the game, and now you bring Purty back.
This was the whole deal with George Kittle. They put
Kittle on IR because they had some time. They knew
it was a short week between weeks four and five, like, well,
he's probably not going to rush back with Purdy. They
had him set out the two games, but had him
return yesterday and now dealing with some pain in that toe.

(37:05):
This lost lost. In all the Ryder Cup stuff, European
captain Luke Donald revealed that they changed their betting and
even changed their shampoos where the team was staying to
make things more comfortable for their players, going down to
every single small detail to make sure that they were

(37:26):
in position to win the Ryder Cup.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Yeah, he did a bunch of different things, right, Yes,
shoos for company. Yeah, they had the shamp special shampoos
because he didn't like the way they smelled.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Rory said, great lather with the shampoos that they brought in.
That's some of that.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Some of that stuff is to take your mind of it.
And that's the bag. Get out there and pressed.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
That was the press.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Okay. So I like the Dolphins and I like the
Bengals against the number tonight. Enjoy the games. Dougallip Show,
