Hanging out on a Thursday here on Fox Sports Radio.
Do we now know? Three games? For Urban Meyer, the
head coach, will miss the Buckey's first three contests of
the upcoming season, following the investigation of what he knew
(00:42):
and didn't know involving his former wand receivers coach Zack
Smith Jonas As the announcement was made last night from Columbus,
there was so much with what went on yesterday, what
went on during that press conference, and what went on after.
I will say that I don't think that there was
anything that happened and yesterday's entire twenty four hour period
(01:06):
that had anybody changed their mind on how they felt
about the situation, either leading up to the decision or
after the decision or after the investigation was laid out.
If you hated Ohio State, or if you didn't want
urban Meyer to have success, you were up in arms.
If you are supporting the fight to to stop domestic violence,
(01:29):
you don't think enough was done. If you're a Buckeye fan,
if you want urban Meyer to be your head coach,
you still want him to be your head coach. I
don't think that anyone's opinion changed in the last twenty
four hours. In the last crazy twenty four hours, it
has been Yeah, people outraged by the decision or or
some of the stuff that's come out afterwards, and they're
still outraged by it. I don't know what did you
(01:51):
expect to happen? Were you expecting a happy ending? Was
there going to be something about this story that was
going to turn into a good thing when it was
all said and done. Let's go ahead and just think
about all the factors that are involved, domestic violence, lying
to the media, and a coach who took crank picks
(02:11):
in the White House. I don't know how all of
that put together results in Hey, everybody, we're happy. Football
seasons almost here. It was gonna be an issue regardless
to your point, if you felt one way about it
going in, if you were one of those hot take
artists on social media who called for urban Meyer's job
and said he should be fired and said he's gonna
(02:31):
get fired, and you made your prediction, you're probably a
little bit piste off because it looks like you didn't
know what you were talking about when you started calling
for somebody's job. You should have taken a step back
and thought logically about the situation, and then you wouldn't
have been as surprised or as upset with what went
down on Wednesday night. When we heard the findings and
then read the findings of the investigation, it is it
(02:53):
surprises me, Jonas, It really does that when you read
the entire twenty three page report, and it's not saying
that urban Meyer was cleaning any of this. And we'll
get to him in a little bit, but this focus
is on the investigation and what the investigation found and
what they had concrete evidence of. When you read the
investigation and realize what they did and didn't have on
(03:16):
urban Meyer, there was absolutely positively zero chance that they
were going to fire their head football coach. There was
nothing in that investigation that you could point to and
with concrete evidence say oh, that's why he should lose
his job. There was a lot of stuff in there
and a lot of opportunities for urban Meyer to maybe
(03:38):
take a different road than what he did, but I
don't think anything stuck to him. And I go back
to the allegations that Shelley Meyer had text messages and
conversations with Courtney Smith, and that what we wanted to
know was was that the situation was did urban end
up knowing from Shelley Meyer? The investigation says, we think
that he probably didn't, but we have no direct knowledge
(04:02):
or no direct evidence that she told her husband. Therefore
we can't pin him on pen this on him. There
were policy changes that were may maybe after the fact,
but just because X Smith went to a strip club
with some high school coaches and another assistant doesn't mean
that urban Meyer should lose his job. And so when
you look at the whole scope of the investigation, I
(04:23):
know people don't want to hear this, but there was
no way urban Meyer was going to lose his job
and and have the school fork up thirty eight million
dollars because the lawsuit would be coming right after that,
But Dan, he lied to the media. Dan, a head
coach lied to the media. Oh he should be fired. Dan. Stop. Okay,
(04:46):
it's don't be so sensitive because a head coach lie
to you at Big ten media days, I got news
for you. You You ever covered a media day before. It's
like ten to twelve car salesman in a room just
slinging a slinging what's great about their pro program. There's
a lot of lines that go around. It happens when
urban Meyer said, and this is uh, along these lines,
(05:07):
he he said on Wednesday that we probably wouldn't be
here if I would have handled Big ten media days better.
Along those line, not a direct quote, but along those lines,
that's actually correct. I mean, urban Meyer probably knew of something,
but he didn't answer it in a way. And that's
why this turned into a bigger deal than it needed
(05:29):
to be. That tells me maybe urban Meyer didn't think
it was going to uh snowball into all of this.
He didn't think all of this stuff was gonna come
out afterwards, but it ended up turning into a big deal.
When urban Meyer says, you know, I trusted my heart,
he's guilty of yes, lying to the media. He's guilty
of not giving proper messaging at Big ten media days.
(05:51):
He should have just not maybe talked as much or
said as much because it would have been that big
of a deal. He's also guilty of trusting somebody that,
as it turns out, he shouldn't have trusted. But at
a certain point you have to take a step back
and say, yeah, but can you fire the guy and
then pay him forty million on top of that? I mean,
I think it was pretty easy. It's a pretty simple ruling.
(06:12):
This was Urban Meyer yesterday after the three game suspension
was announced. I'm fully aware that I'm ultimately responsible for
the situation that has harmed the university as a whole,
in our department, athletics, and our football program. I want
to apologize to Buckeye Nation. I followed my heart, not
my head. I felt short and pursuing full information because
at each juncture I gave Zack Smith the benefit of
(06:35):
the doubt. Every single juncture he did, whether it was
in two thousand nine, whether it was with the Strip
Club incident, whether it was being notified by Jeane Smith
that there was another incident. In every single time, he
did give Zack Smith the benefit of the doubt, whether
it be the relationship that he had with Zack Smith's grandfather,
(06:58):
Earl Bruce, or because of maybe the other pieces that
happened prior to that. Jonas there were there everything. He
is right about giving Zach Smith the benefit of the
doubt in all of this. But with that, when you
look at the transgressions, I just I don't know, and
and this is what I think played out. I'll tell
(07:18):
you what I think played out yesterday in that ten
hour meeting. They were in the meeting, they knew that
they couldn't pin this on him, that there was no
way that they could dismiss him and not owe him
thirty eight million dollars without him filing a lawsuit and
coming back. And really with that investigation, there there were
some missteps. There was the conversation of trying to delete texts,
(07:39):
not a good look, not necessarily the reason why you
should lose your job. I brought up the point uh
earlier in the show, prior to the show of just saying,
remember when Tom Brady didn't want to give over his
cell phone because he didn't want the investigators to have
what was on his cell phone. Because Irvin Meyer wanted.
Text messages deleted doesn't mean that there were text messages
or conversation relating to Zack Smith. There could have been
(08:02):
a whole range of stuff, and while it doesn't clear him,
it's kind of in my mind it's some of the
same stuff, even though it's a it's an open record
sort of thing. It's probably why urban Meyer was like, well,
I don't want him to have this phone. They could
find out about this, and that that's his own thing
to deal with. But the point is, you can't pay
him thirty eight million dollars and you can't let him
walk away scott free. You can't just say, okay, there's
(08:24):
no game. The conversations that we have had together and
and other shows, and I don't know you've talked about
it as well, was are they gonna are they gonna
make him miss a big game? Well, you couldn't just
give them Oregon State. You couldn't just give them two
games that you're gonna miss Oregon State and Rutgers, but
make sure you're back for TCU. It was a calculated
move to be like, we have to give him something,
(08:45):
We have to give him something that is worthwhile. Let's
have him miss the third game of the season, whether
it was TCU, whether it was gonna be Penn State
or Michigan State or someone else, they had to have
him miss a big game, right, yeah, yeah, alright, the
the the fact of the matters. They had to make
it something worthwhile in that punishment, because I don't think
they had the grounds to really punishment, if to to
(09:06):
punish him more severely without getting caught up in a loss.
By the way that Jerry Jones reference, they're playing at
at the Jerry Dome against TCU, so Jerry's House probably
would have liked to have had urban Meyer there, but
it would have been nice for the for the game
to be able to promote it as well. Listen, you
cannot like urban Meyer, you cannot like Ohio State, you
cannot like anything about the state of Ohio. And that's fine.
(09:30):
But bottom line is everybody at some point has trusted
somebody and gotten burned by somebody they trusted, or they
gave somebody the benefit of the doubt, and it's not
until something blows up in your face or a big
thing goes down that you realize, oh yeah, that's probably
not the person to trust. And and the person to
depend on if if it if my career is on
(09:51):
the line, or if my livelihood is on the line.
He hopefully has learned his lesson. Um. It doesn't mean
that if you understand what this situation is, that all
of a sudden you condone domestic violence. No nobody likes
domestic violence. But you have to think about this realistically.
He was never going to lose his job. The fact
(10:11):
that he was fighting back against a suspension at all.
People like when you see him at the press conference
and everyone says, God, he looks like he's piste off.
He's getting suspended three games and he doesn't think he
should be suspended at all. I don't know. I guess
i'd be probably piste off too if I didn't think
I should be punished at all, and I was being punished.
And you can think however you want about that. But
(10:33):
there was no point were they going to fire urban Meyer.
It wasn't going to happen. He got his three games.
Be outraged all you want, I think, be upset that
he lied to the media, but it's just a reality
of what sports are, and at some point you have
you cannot no longer be surprised when you find out
that a program's dirty, or something happens, or somebody lies
(10:53):
to you. It's just part of the deal when you're
watching sports professionally or collegiately. And Jones save it for
those are saying, oh, you're gonna wife beaters in college football.
That the point is what the investigation was set out
to do, and they couldn't. They couldn't support anything that
would require a stricter punishment for urban Meyer. Now Urban
wasn't to use a football term, wasn't all roses yesterday
(11:17):
to say the least, as you mentioned, But there that's
not what the argument is about. If you're if you're
mad about the suspension, it's likely because you thought previously
that Urban Meyers should have lost his job. Whether it's
because you don't like Ohio State or you're trying to
stand up against domestic violence, seems to be two different
avenues here. But unfortunately for that party, this investigation did
(11:39):
not reveal enough that would have allowed those people to
get their wish, and that's urban Meyer losing his job.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug gott
Leap Show weekdays at noon eastern three pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Alright,
we're gonna talk some baseball right now. We're gonna have
some fun because joining us on behalf of Metrics. He's
(12:02):
an all star, he's a first basement, he's an outfielder,
he's a Dodger. Cody Bellinger joining us here on the
Doug Gottleap Show. Hey Cody, how are you doing good?
How are you? We are doing well? This is Jonas Knox.
I'm Dan. We are hanging out for Doug today. I
just gotta reach into my man personal Look at this
and what this is pure? I bring these every day,
(12:22):
I swear to God. Look at this metric supplies here, Dan,
What we got c l A. Ton Alin, we got
joint guard, you name it. We are locked in metrics.
And by the way, that isn't that wasn't planning right alright, alright,
you are joining us on behalf of the Fitness Nutrition
brand Metrics. You have the cookies. We got cookies right
here to pull them out right now? Yeah, yeah, let's
(12:44):
see what Let's see what these are all about. As
Cody brings it out, I am going to mention that, unfortunately,
the Dodgers are just coming off being swept by the Cardinals.
So while we've got something to all right, look at that,
look at chocolate peanut butter. Alright, metrics cookie, But I'm
going to the chocolate chip. I'm going straight out, straight
out of that. I don't like to mess with the
the mix. I'm going straight chocolate chip. What's up? What's happening? What? What?
(13:06):
What happened these these past couple of days against Cardinals pitching? Um,
I think you know, we had a great, great series
in Seattle. Uh, scored a lot of runs, and then
we went home and uh, you know, we didn't we
didn't produce with guys on base, and that's uh, that's
what happens in baseball. Unfortunately, Uh, we're not where we
want to be, but we still got, you know, plenty
(13:26):
of time to come back and and and finish this
things strong. Did you feel at all worn out with
a long playoff run a year ago? Um, I've talked
to other players before the welthy, I'll notice something with
the pitching to where you get to spring training and
maybe you're just not as with it because you played
so many extra games that other teams didn't have to play.
The travel, the back and forth. Where are you guys?
(13:47):
Just fatigue wise at this point, it's such a grind.
You lose a heartbreaker here you are now you're starting
to struggle again. To fatigue playing at all a factor
in this, I would say a little bit. I think
fatigue and August is going to be there regardless of
the World Series or not. Um, we had a short offseason,
but it's still, you know, three or four months off, so, um,
(14:09):
everyone's tired, Your opponent's tired. The picture you're facing is
probably tired. So you're fatigued. Yeah, but you don't want
to make that excuse really, Um, but I don't know,
I don't. I don't think the short offseason had had
too much to do with it. I think, you know,
we just uh, we just gotta we just gotta play
better like we know we should. You got thirty four
games left, three thirty five. Cordy Bellinger the Dodgers joining
(14:30):
us here on Fox Sports Radio. Is it crunch time?
Three and half back in the wild card, four and
a half now back in the division. Is there any pressure?
Do you feel it right now? Yeah, it's definitely crunch time.
I said it before. On paper, we're the best team
and the national lyue I think, especially offensively, and I
think you know we're we're waiting for it to click.
We don't have much time, but we still got you know,
(14:51):
few division series left. What is it about the Cardinals?
They do this to everybody and it's most recently for
you guys. But what is it about them? I mean
they've turned it on late? What make them so difficult?
And seemed to be this thorn? And so many teams
side good young pitching. We faced three young young pictures
that we haven't seen before. There's not much information on them. Uh,
so you're just going out there off your computer and
(15:12):
seeing what you got and then you're going to go
out there and compete against him. Um. But sometimes it
takes a few of best get used to them and
then they're out of the game. So they got a
good young team, full of full of energy, and you
know when you're playing as a team, they're hard to
be so um, like I said, sometimes you tip your cap.
They're pretty good. Who when you who on the roster?
The Dodgers is in the worst mood after a loss?
(15:34):
Like who do you not want? Who's the biggest red ass?
Who do you not want to be around after a loss. Man. Honest, honestly, honestly,
nobody is is like that. Um, whether it's good or bad.
I think it's just such a part of the game
that you're used to because you're playing every single night
that you go in and you sit in your chair
after a loss, you think about what you did, you
(15:54):
think about your performance, you think about you know, how
the team played, and it's silent um. There's no talk,
and you shower and you eat, and then you know,
you come back the next day and get ready to
compete again. Cody Bellinger the Dodgers joining us. Do do
we could he stick around or does does he have
to go? Do we have a thumbs up? Because we've
only got about sixty seconds here with with Cody. To
(16:15):
wrap it up, you played in the Little League World Series. Okay,
he hates the Little League World Series. League World Series
is awesome because I I'm a big fan as well.
I love it. Obviously, I have my reasons why I
was in it. Um. The baseball is not great. You know,
there's a lot of mental mistakes and physical mistakes, but
they're eleven, twelve, and thirteen years old. So I just
(16:38):
think It's awesome. It's pure, you know, enjoyment of the
game for the kids. There's no egos, there's no everyone's
everyone is playing to win, um and you've got guys
from all over the world coming in to compete against
each other on ESPN. So I love it. I'm I'm
a I'm a big fan of Yeah. Maybe just the
coverage is too much. I like, I'm gonna see my
nephew playing in his first ever high school football game
(17:00):
later on today, So I'm not against all that. It's
just the coverage is so over the top, and the
demands on these kids. I'm thinking, Man, no wonder parents
lose their mind a little bit. So let's uh, let's
have Cody stick around. These cookies are amazing, by the way,
they are amazing. Here we go. I'll give you my
full review of the cookies next year on the Dug
Got Leave Show. Okay, aside from the cookie bites, Cody,
(17:21):
what what is the workout routine for a major league
baseball player? I mean, you guys, are you've got batting
practice before the game, You've got the game. How much
can you do before and after? What is the workout
routine for you? Beginning of the year, I would say,
you work out more. Um. I was kind of I
was working out four three or four times a week. Uh,
(17:42):
upper and lower days, push pull um. As August has hit,
I've kind of slowed it down just I've been doing
mobility stuff and flexibility stuff. Just trying to stay healthy.
That's the biggest thing for me. It's just staying healthy.
And for a lot of people, what is the off season? Like,
I mean, like, how how long do you take off
before you start swinging a bat again? Do you just
want to get away from baseball for like a month
(18:04):
and just go do something else and then get recharged
and come back. I think I started working out two
weeks after the season, two and a half weeks to
take two weeks off. I got bored already, you know,
just sitting there in the house. You just you know,
there's really nothing else to do. I golfed, and at
that point you're like, all right, might as well start light,
you know, uh, and start getting rented for next season.
(18:25):
It's coming up quick. The football season is coming up quick,
is coody. Bellinger joins us how many of the Dodgers
are interested in the NFL In fantasy football, and we
were talking a little bit before the break, but is
in a majority of the team. How many of your
teammates are involved in what's happening in the NFL. I'd say, yeah,
club bees as well. Our club bees, I would say,
(18:48):
I want to say all of them are in the
league too. So we all got a competitively going. We
got a draft coming up here in Texas, so it
keeps us, you know, talking smack to each other. Are
you more likely to follow baseball scores on a Sunday
or football scores on a Sunday? Honestly, in September, in
the month of September, what are you looking at now,
we're gonna be looking at baseball stores. Last year we
(19:08):
had a little bit of a league. We can we
can peep on the scores, but now you know, we
gotta we were in crunch time here. We're gonna keep
We're gonna keep doing what we can to keep winning
the games and seeing the scores of other team. Where's
the worst place to play game in baseball? Worst stadium,
worse venue, worst site, lines, worst dirt, worst grass, worst fans.
(19:29):
I would say, the most ruthless fans. I've been a
part of our San Francisco's fans. Um. That makes sense
because they're arrival. Man. It's a nice stadium though. Parts
it's beautiful. Yeah, worst dirt I've ever been on was
probably the White Sox Um. Other than that, man that,
we don't really have any bad facilities. I heard Oakland
(19:53):
was bad, and we went to Oakland two weeks ago.
I loved it, you know, I really liked I liked
the Colosseum. Look, we had a lot of Dodger fans there,
so of the atmosphere is good, you know. Um, I
don't know. I would say the Midwest though, during the
summer is tough because it's so so hot, humid. St.
Louis has St. Louis is human. When we hear these
this narrative Cody Bellinger the Dodgers with the Sire on
Fox Sports Radio, Dan Buyer Jonas knocks in for Doug
(20:15):
gottlieb Um, we hear these stories about you know, baseball
doesn't market it stars. Um. You know, there there's no
nobody out there that's that's a recognizable face in baseball.
All this stuff. When you're walking around town in l A,
how often do you get recognized? Is it every time
you go out or there are places you can go
and people don't even realize they're there with a guy
(20:38):
who was in Game seven of the World Series less
than a year ago. There's definitely been places that I've
been where I haven't been recognized, But honestly, for the
most part, it's you know, one or two people at
every place, and then you know, once they recognize and
I was like, oh, you know, I want a picture
now too. Um, I don't know. I think you know,
I think baseball has a lot of young stars right now,
(21:00):
just you know, the you know, why they're not getting
marketed like other players. I don't know. I don't have
an answer to that, but I would say Dodger fans
are pretty into what they want here and they know
a lot of us, and I would say, get, you know,
recognize a decent amount out here. Here's a way to
avoid that. We're a Cody Bellinger jersey. There'singer would wear
his own jersey. So all Salmon's look like, yeah, yeah,
(21:22):
like this is this is why I wear it because
I get this a lot. But you wouldn't think Cody
Bellinger would wear his own ship. I'm Cody Stunt double
slide for him too, so he doesn't want to get
dirty Coody Bellinger here. Thanks to Metrics, cookie bites a
bite size, delicious alternative through to traditional cookies in the
food market. There are twelve grams of protein, no artificial flavors,
(21:45):
less sugar than the leading protein cookie brand, and they
taste good. It's a They taste very similar to a
popular cookie brand that I remember eating a lot of
growing up, chewabowl chips. Ahoy. Yes, that's what they are. Yeah,
they are. I don't know if I could give the brand,
but that's exactly what they are. If you love chewable chips, ahoy,
this is gonna be a better alternative Metrics is. I've
(22:06):
been using Metrics for probably fifteen years. They're fantastic. I
have never had an issue with them. I've always the
tonal in the joint guard. I use it every day.
It's great. I've been incorporated into my everyday routine too.
I said it before. I don't like eating big meals
before a game. I don't want to feel slugg I
shall eat a big one Hunter bar and it fuels
(22:26):
me before the game every single time. How many home
runs do you have this year. So between you and
I combine in our metrics usage, we've got twenty home runs.
Not that I don't know if you guys. I also
incorporate cookies into my daily guyet. I've been doing so
for like thirty five years. It's it's it's it's been
my thing. Now I've got a new cookie to go
(22:46):
to healthy option. Thank you very much, Cody Beljier. I
know that your time is precious on and off day
doing this. We appreciate it. You've got some work to

Hanging out on a Thursday here on Fox Sports Radio.
Do we now know? Three games? For Urban Meyer, the
head coach, will miss the Buckey's first three contests of
the upcoming season, following the investigation of what he knew
(00:42):
and didn't know involving his former wand receivers coach Zack
Smith Jonas As the announcement was made last night from Columbus,
there was so much with what went on yesterday, what
went on during that press conference, and what went on after.
I will say that I don't think that there was
anything that happened and yesterday's entire twenty four hour period
(01:06):
that had anybody changed their mind on how they felt
about the situation, either leading up to the decision or
after the decision or after the investigation was laid out.
If you hated Ohio State, or if you didn't want
urban Meyer to have success, you were up in arms.
If you are supporting the fight to to stop domestic violence,
(01:29):
you don't think enough was done. If you're a Buckeye fan,
if you want urban Meyer to be your head coach,
you still want him to be your head coach. I
don't think that anyone's opinion changed in the last twenty
four hours. In the last crazy twenty four hours, it
has been Yeah, people outraged by the decision or or
some of the stuff that's come out afterwards, and they're
still outraged by it. I don't know what did you
(01:51):
expect to happen? Were you expecting a happy ending? Was
there going to be something about this story that was
going to turn into a good thing when it was
all said and done. Let's go ahead and just think
about all the factors that are involved, domestic violence, lying
to the media, and a coach who took crank picks
(02:11):
in the White House. I don't know how all of
that put together results in Hey, everybody, we're happy. Football
seasons almost here. It was gonna be an issue regardless
to your point, if you felt one way about it
going in, if you were one of those hot take
artists on social media who called for urban Meyer's job
and said he should be fired and said he's gonna
(02:31):
get fired, and you made your prediction, you're probably a
little bit piste off because it looks like you didn't
know what you were talking about when you started calling
for somebody's job. You should have taken a step back
and thought logically about the situation, and then you wouldn't
have been as surprised or as upset with what went
down on Wednesday night. When we heard the findings and
then read the findings of the investigation, it is it
(02:53):
surprises me, Jonas, It really does that when you read
the entire twenty three page report, and it's not saying
that urban Meyer was cleaning any of this. And we'll
get to him in a little bit, but this focus
is on the investigation and what the investigation found and
what they had concrete evidence of. When you read the
investigation and realize what they did and didn't have on
(03:16):
urban Meyer, there was absolutely positively zero chance that they
were going to fire their head football coach. There was
nothing in that investigation that you could point to and
with concrete evidence say oh, that's why he should lose
his job. There was a lot of stuff in there
and a lot of opportunities for urban Meyer to maybe
(03:38):
take a different road than what he did, but I
don't think anything stuck to him. And I go back
to the allegations that Shelley Meyer had text messages and
conversations with Courtney Smith, and that what we wanted to
know was was that the situation was did urban end
up knowing from Shelley Meyer? The investigation says, we think
that he probably didn't, but we have no direct knowledge
(04:02):
or no direct evidence that she told her husband. Therefore
we can't pin him on pen this on him. There
were policy changes that were may maybe after the fact,
but just because X Smith went to a strip club
with some high school coaches and another assistant doesn't mean
that urban Meyer should lose his job. And so when
you look at the whole scope of the investigation, I
(04:23):
know people don't want to hear this, but there was
no way urban Meyer was going to lose his job
and and have the school fork up thirty eight million
dollars because the lawsuit would be coming right after that,
But Dan, he lied to the media. Dan, a head
coach lied to the media. Oh he should be fired. Dan. Stop. Okay,
(04:46):
it's don't be so sensitive because a head coach lie
to you at Big ten media days, I got news
for you. You You ever covered a media day before. It's
like ten to twelve car salesman in a room just
slinging a slinging what's great about their pro program. There's
a lot of lines that go around. It happens when
urban Meyer said, and this is uh, along these lines,
(05:07):
he he said on Wednesday that we probably wouldn't be
here if I would have handled Big ten media days better.
Along those line, not a direct quote, but along those lines,
that's actually correct. I mean, urban Meyer probably knew of something,
but he didn't answer it in a way. And that's
why this turned into a bigger deal than it needed
(05:29):
to be. That tells me maybe urban Meyer didn't think
it was going to uh snowball into all of this.
He didn't think all of this stuff was gonna come
out afterwards, but it ended up turning into a big deal.
When urban Meyer says, you know, I trusted my heart,
he's guilty of yes, lying to the media. He's guilty
of not giving proper messaging at Big ten media days.
(05:51):
He should have just not maybe talked as much or
said as much because it would have been that big
of a deal. He's also guilty of trusting somebody that,
as it turns out, he shouldn't have trusted. But at
a certain point you have to take a step back
and say, yeah, but can you fire the guy and
then pay him forty million on top of that? I mean,
I think it was pretty easy. It's a pretty simple ruling.
(06:12):
This was Urban Meyer yesterday after the three game suspension
was announced. I'm fully aware that I'm ultimately responsible for
the situation that has harmed the university as a whole,
in our department, athletics, and our football program. I want
to apologize to Buckeye Nation. I followed my heart, not
my head. I felt short and pursuing full information because
at each juncture I gave Zack Smith the benefit of
(06:35):
the doubt. Every single juncture he did, whether it was
in two thousand nine, whether it was with the Strip
Club incident, whether it was being notified by Jeane Smith
that there was another incident. In every single time, he
did give Zack Smith the benefit of the doubt, whether
it be the relationship that he had with Zack Smith's grandfather,
(06:58):
Earl Bruce, or because of maybe the other pieces that
happened prior to that. Jonas there were there everything. He
is right about giving Zach Smith the benefit of the
doubt in all of this. But with that, when you
look at the transgressions, I just I don't know, and
and this is what I think played out. I'll tell
(07:18):
you what I think played out yesterday in that ten
hour meeting. They were in the meeting, they knew that
they couldn't pin this on him, that there was no
way that they could dismiss him and not owe him
thirty eight million dollars without him filing a lawsuit and
coming back. And really with that investigation, there there were
some missteps. There was the conversation of trying to delete texts,
(07:39):
not a good look, not necessarily the reason why you
should lose your job. I brought up the point uh
earlier in the show, prior to the show of just saying,
remember when Tom Brady didn't want to give over his
cell phone because he didn't want the investigators to have
what was on his cell phone. Because Irvin Meyer wanted.
Text messages deleted doesn't mean that there were text messages
or conversation relating to Zack Smith. There could have been
(08:02):
a whole range of stuff, and while it doesn't clear him,
it's kind of in my mind it's some of the
same stuff, even though it's a it's an open record
sort of thing. It's probably why urban Meyer was like, well,
I don't want him to have this phone. They could
find out about this, and that that's his own thing
to deal with. But the point is, you can't pay
him thirty eight million dollars and you can't let him
walk away scott free. You can't just say, okay, there's
(08:24):
no game. The conversations that we have had together and
and other shows, and I don't know you've talked about
it as well, was are they gonna are they gonna
make him miss a big game? Well, you couldn't just
give them Oregon State. You couldn't just give them two
games that you're gonna miss Oregon State and Rutgers, but
make sure you're back for TCU. It was a calculated
move to be like, we have to give him something,
(08:45):
We have to give him something that is worthwhile. Let's
have him miss the third game of the season, whether
it was TCU, whether it was gonna be Penn State
or Michigan State or someone else, they had to have
him miss a big game, right, yeah, yeah, alright, the
the the fact of the matters. They had to make
it something worthwhile in that punishment, because I don't think
they had the grounds to really punishment, if to to
(09:06):
punish him more severely without getting caught up in a loss.
By the way that Jerry Jones reference, they're playing at
at the Jerry Dome against TCU, so Jerry's House probably
would have liked to have had urban Meyer there, but
it would have been nice for the for the game
to be able to promote it as well. Listen, you
cannot like urban Meyer, you cannot like Ohio State, you
cannot like anything about the state of Ohio. And that's fine.
(09:30):
But bottom line is everybody at some point has trusted
somebody and gotten burned by somebody they trusted, or they
gave somebody the benefit of the doubt, and it's not
until something blows up in your face or a big
thing goes down that you realize, oh yeah, that's probably
not the person to trust. And and the person to
depend on if if it if my career is on
(09:51):
the line, or if my livelihood is on the line.
He hopefully has learned his lesson. Um. It doesn't mean
that if you understand what this situation is, that all
of a sudden you condone domestic violence. No nobody likes
domestic violence. But you have to think about this realistically.
He was never going to lose his job. The fact
(10:11):
that he was fighting back against a suspension at all.
People like when you see him at the press conference
and everyone says, God, he looks like he's piste off.
He's getting suspended three games and he doesn't think he
should be suspended at all. I don't know. I guess
i'd be probably piste off too if I didn't think
I should be punished at all, and I was being punished.
And you can think however you want about that. But
(10:33):
there was no point were they going to fire urban Meyer.
It wasn't going to happen. He got his three games.
Be outraged all you want, I think, be upset that
he lied to the media, but it's just a reality
of what sports are, and at some point you have
you cannot no longer be surprised when you find out
that a program's dirty, or something happens, or somebody lies
(10:53):
to you. It's just part of the deal when you're
watching sports professionally or collegiately. And Jones save it for
those are saying, oh, you're gonna wife beaters in college football.
That the point is what the investigation was set out
to do, and they couldn't. They couldn't support anything that
would require a stricter punishment for urban Meyer. Now Urban
wasn't to use a football term, wasn't all roses yesterday
(11:17):
to say the least, as you mentioned, But there that's
not what the argument is about. If you're if you're
mad about the suspension, it's likely because you thought previously
that Urban Meyers should have lost his job. Whether it's
because you don't like Ohio State or you're trying to
stand up against domestic violence, seems to be two different
avenues here. But unfortunately for that party, this investigation did
(11:39):
not reveal enough that would have allowed those people to
get their wish, and that's urban Meyer losing his job.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug gott
Leap Show weekdays at noon eastern three pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Alright,
we're gonna talk some baseball right now. We're gonna have
some fun because joining us on behalf of Metrics. He's
(12:02):
an all star, he's a first basement, he's an outfielder,
he's a Dodger. Cody Bellinger joining us here on the
Doug Gottleap Show. Hey Cody, how are you doing good?
How are you? We are doing well? This is Jonas Knox.
I'm Dan. We are hanging out for Doug today. I
just gotta reach into my man personal Look at this
and what this is pure? I bring these every day,
(12:22):
I swear to God. Look at this metric supplies here, Dan,
What we got c l A. Ton Alin, we got
joint guard, you name it. We are locked in metrics.
And by the way, that isn't that wasn't planning right alright, alright,
you are joining us on behalf of the Fitness Nutrition
brand Metrics. You have the cookies. We got cookies right
here to pull them out right now? Yeah, yeah, let's
(12:44):
see what Let's see what these are all about. As
Cody brings it out, I am going to mention that, unfortunately,
the Dodgers are just coming off being swept by the Cardinals.
So while we've got something to all right, look at that,
look at chocolate peanut butter. Alright, metrics cookie, But I'm
going to the chocolate chip. I'm going straight out, straight
out of that. I don't like to mess with the
the mix. I'm going straight chocolate chip. What's up? What's happening? What? What?
(13:06):
What happened these these past couple of days against Cardinals pitching? Um,
I think you know, we had a great, great series
in Seattle. Uh, scored a lot of runs, and then
we went home and uh, you know, we didn't we
didn't produce with guys on base, and that's uh, that's
what happens in baseball. Unfortunately, Uh, we're not where we
want to be, but we still got, you know, plenty
(13:26):
of time to come back and and and finish this
things strong. Did you feel at all worn out with
a long playoff run a year ago? Um, I've talked
to other players before the welthy, I'll notice something with
the pitching to where you get to spring training and
maybe you're just not as with it because you played
so many extra games that other teams didn't have to play.
The travel, the back and forth. Where are you guys?
(13:47):
Just fatigue wise at this point, it's such a grind.
You lose a heartbreaker here you are now you're starting
to struggle again. To fatigue playing at all a factor
in this, I would say a little bit. I think
fatigue and August is going to be there regardless of
the World Series or not. Um, we had a short offseason,
but it's still, you know, three or four months off, so, um,
(14:09):
everyone's tired, Your opponent's tired. The picture you're facing is
probably tired. So you're fatigued. Yeah, but you don't want
to make that excuse really, Um, but I don't know,
I don't. I don't think the short offseason had had
too much to do with it. I think, you know,
we just uh, we just gotta we just gotta play
better like we know we should. You got thirty four
games left, three thirty five. Cordy Bellinger the Dodgers joining
(14:30):
us here on Fox Sports Radio. Is it crunch time?
Three and half back in the wild card, four and
a half now back in the division. Is there any pressure?
Do you feel it right now? Yeah, it's definitely crunch time.
I said it before. On paper, we're the best team
and the national lyue I think, especially offensively, and I
think you know we're we're waiting for it to click.
We don't have much time, but we still got you know,
(14:51):
few division series left. What is it about the Cardinals?
They do this to everybody and it's most recently for
you guys. But what is it about them? I mean
they've turned it on late? What make them so difficult?
And seemed to be this thorn? And so many teams
side good young pitching. We faced three young young pictures
that we haven't seen before. There's not much information on them. Uh,
so you're just going out there off your computer and
(15:12):
seeing what you got and then you're going to go
out there and compete against him. Um. But sometimes it
takes a few of best get used to them and
then they're out of the game. So they got a
good young team, full of full of energy, and you
know when you're playing as a team, they're hard to
be so um, like I said, sometimes you tip your cap.
They're pretty good. Who when you who on the roster?
The Dodgers is in the worst mood after a loss?
(15:34):
Like who do you not want? Who's the biggest red ass?
Who do you not want to be around after a loss. Man. Honest, honestly, honestly,
nobody is is like that. Um, whether it's good or bad.
I think it's just such a part of the game
that you're used to because you're playing every single night
that you go in and you sit in your chair
after a loss, you think about what you did, you
(15:54):
think about your performance, you think about you know, how
the team played, and it's silent um. There's no talk,
and you shower and you eat, and then you know,
you come back the next day and get ready to
compete again. Cody Bellinger the Dodgers joining us. Do do
we could he stick around or does does he have
to go? Do we have a thumbs up? Because we've
only got about sixty seconds here with with Cody. To
(16:15):
wrap it up, you played in the Little League World Series. Okay,
he hates the Little League World Series. League World Series
is awesome because I I'm a big fan as well.
I love it. Obviously, I have my reasons why I
was in it. Um. The baseball is not great. You know,
there's a lot of mental mistakes and physical mistakes, but
they're eleven, twelve, and thirteen years old. So I just
(16:38):
think It's awesome. It's pure, you know, enjoyment of the
game for the kids. There's no egos, there's no everyone's
everyone is playing to win, um and you've got guys
from all over the world coming in to compete against
each other on ESPN. So I love it. I'm I'm
a I'm a big fan of Yeah. Maybe just the
coverage is too much. I like, I'm gonna see my
nephew playing in his first ever high school football game
(17:00):
later on today, So I'm not against all that. It's
just the coverage is so over the top, and the
demands on these kids. I'm thinking, Man, no wonder parents
lose their mind a little bit. So let's uh, let's
have Cody stick around. These cookies are amazing, by the way,
they are amazing. Here we go. I'll give you my
full review of the cookies next year on the Dug
Got Leave Show. Okay, aside from the cookie bites, Cody,
(17:21):
what what is the workout routine for a major league
baseball player? I mean, you guys, are you've got batting
practice before the game, You've got the game. How much
can you do before and after? What is the workout
routine for you? Beginning of the year, I would say,
you work out more. Um. I was kind of I
was working out four three or four times a week. Uh,
(17:42):
upper and lower days, push pull um. As August has hit,
I've kind of slowed it down just I've been doing
mobility stuff and flexibility stuff. Just trying to stay healthy.
That's the biggest thing for me. It's just staying healthy.
And for a lot of people, what is the off season? Like,
I mean, like, how how long do you take off
before you start swinging a bat again? Do you just
want to get away from baseball for like a month
(18:04):
and just go do something else and then get recharged
and come back. I think I started working out two
weeks after the season, two and a half weeks to
take two weeks off. I got bored already, you know,
just sitting there in the house. You just you know,
there's really nothing else to do. I golfed, and at
that point you're like, all right, might as well start light,
you know, uh, and start getting rented for next season.
(18:25):
It's coming up quick. The football season is coming up quick,
is coody. Bellinger joins us how many of the Dodgers
are interested in the NFL In fantasy football, and we
were talking a little bit before the break, but is
in a majority of the team. How many of your
teammates are involved in what's happening in the NFL. I'd say, yeah,
club bees as well. Our club bees, I would say,
(18:48):
I want to say all of them are in the
league too. So we all got a competitively going. We
got a draft coming up here in Texas, so it
keeps us, you know, talking smack to each other. Are
you more likely to follow baseball scores on a Sunday
or football scores on a Sunday? Honestly, in September, in
the month of September, what are you looking at now,
we're gonna be looking at baseball stores. Last year we
(19:08):
had a little bit of a league. We can we
can peep on the scores, but now you know, we
gotta we were in crunch time here. We're gonna keep
We're gonna keep doing what we can to keep winning
the games and seeing the scores of other team. Where's
the worst place to play game in baseball? Worst stadium,
worse venue, worst site, lines, worst dirt, worst grass, worst fans.
(19:29):
I would say, the most ruthless fans. I've been a
part of our San Francisco's fans. Um. That makes sense
because they're arrival. Man. It's a nice stadium though. Parts
it's beautiful. Yeah, worst dirt I've ever been on was
probably the White Sox Um. Other than that, man that,
we don't really have any bad facilities. I heard Oakland
(19:53):
was bad, and we went to Oakland two weeks ago.
I loved it, you know, I really liked I liked
the Colosseum. Look, we had a lot of Dodger fans there,
so of the atmosphere is good, you know. Um, I
don't know. I would say the Midwest though, during the
summer is tough because it's so so hot, humid. St.
Louis has St. Louis is human. When we hear these
this narrative Cody Bellinger the Dodgers with the Sire on
Fox Sports Radio, Dan Buyer Jonas knocks in for Doug
(20:15):
gottlieb Um, we hear these stories about you know, baseball
doesn't market it stars. Um. You know, there there's no
nobody out there that's that's a recognizable face in baseball.
All this stuff. When you're walking around town in l A,
how often do you get recognized? Is it every time
you go out or there are places you can go
and people don't even realize they're there with a guy
(20:38):
who was in Game seven of the World Series less
than a year ago. There's definitely been places that I've
been where I haven't been recognized, But honestly, for the
most part, it's you know, one or two people at
every place, and then you know, once they recognize and
I was like, oh, you know, I want a picture
now too. Um, I don't know. I think you know,
I think baseball has a lot of young stars right now,
(21:00):
just you know, the you know, why they're not getting
marketed like other players. I don't know. I don't have
an answer to that, but I would say Dodger fans
are pretty into what they want here and they know
a lot of us, and I would say, get, you know,
recognize a decent amount out here. Here's a way to
avoid that. We're a Cody Bellinger jersey. There'singer would wear
his own jersey. So all Salmon's look like, yeah, yeah,
(21:22):
like this is this is why I wear it because
I get this a lot. But you wouldn't think Cody
Bellinger would wear his own ship. I'm Cody Stunt double
slide for him too, so he doesn't want to get
dirty Coody Bellinger here. Thanks to Metrics, cookie bites a
bite size, delicious alternative through to traditional cookies in the
food market. There are twelve grams of protein, no artificial flavors,
(21:45):
less sugar than the leading protein cookie brand, and they
taste good. It's a They taste very similar to a
popular cookie brand that I remember eating a lot of
growing up, chewabowl chips. Ahoy. Yes, that's what they are. Yeah,
they are. I don't know if I could give the brand,
but that's exactly what they are. If you love chewable chips, ahoy,
this is gonna be a better alternative Metrics is. I've
(22:06):
been using Metrics for probably fifteen years. They're fantastic. I
have never had an issue with them. I've always the
tonal in the joint guard. I use it every day.
It's great. I've been incorporated into my everyday routine too.
I said it before. I don't like eating big meals
before a game. I don't want to feel slugg I
shall eat a big one Hunter bar and it fuels
(22:26):
me before the game every single time. How many home
runs do you have this year. So between you and
I combine in our metrics usage, we've got twenty home runs.
Not that I don't know if you guys. I also
incorporate cookies into my daily guyet. I've been doing so
for like thirty five years. It's it's it's it's been
my thing. Now I've got a new cookie to go
(22:46):
to healthy option. Thank you very much, Cody Beljier. I
know that your time is precious on and off day
doing this. We appreciate it. You've got some work to
do over these last thirty games are so it's a
good luck. That's right, Thank you, guys. Appreciated. King Los
Angeles Dodgers joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. Thanks

I heard that Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are having
a one on one, winner take all golf tournament coming
up in November. That's right, John, I did hear about that. Yeah,
it's supposed to be aired live on pay per view,
so I probably won't watch it. Why wouldn't you watch it? Well,
why would I pay money to watch golf? And I
don't even watch it for free? Should Eric Dickerson come

coming up, it's Thursday, so Roberts Robert blow in the air,
so Robert, let's tap the sports keg and see where
we can pour out. But now it's time for fraud, nonsense,
smoke screen or misdirection. Jonas and Robert, I'm gonna give
(26:12):
you a sports story. You gonna have to tell me
if it's a fraud, a nonsense, smoke screen and misdirection down.
Let's start with you. Our first story, the Lakers were
apparently miffed at Paul George for not wanting to hear
their sales pitch to get him to sign with a team.
That's nonsense. No, it's a smoke screen. Our second story
goes to Jonas jononas Baker Mayfield is set to be
(26:34):
the backup quarterback to Tyrod Taylor. I'm gonna go with
a little misdirection. That is fraud, Robert. The Pittsburgh Steelers
are building a two story structure to block the view
of their practice fields. Is that fraud, nonsense, smoke screen
or misdirection? That is nonsense, John, it's a smoke screen.
Should Leo Messi quit soccer to become an NFL kicker?
(26:58):
Find out next on The John Robins Show, I've traveled it,
It's good and the Chiefs The John scared up for
the imagined Dragons. Don't forget about Thank you, Robert. Don't
(27:19):

I'll give you my top two NFL players that became
pro wrestlers. Here's a hint. Number seven is Mango McMichael.
What's wrong, John? Also, we have a John Robin Show
exclusive something you won't hear in any of the show

special musical guests. Sorry, guys, we'll have to get to
your interview next time. And Robert, it was nice looking
(29:15):
at your backside was wow? Okay? Yes, Jonas. Do you
think there's going to be any backlash that another woman
left a message on the soapbox even though it's for
a copper faucet? Yeah? That was so. John had two
(29:36):
women leaving messages on his soapbox voicemail. Interesting. I think
one was a wrong number, got it. I didn't know
that our callback number was the the The beep, which
beaped out two numbers was very quick, so it was
like five five, five four one almost sound like she
(30:00):
might have cursed it like Gavin or somebody and then
just sleep it out. By the way, if this hurricane
what's just beer left a little bit, I would really
reach it in Hawaii. It's getting bad. By the way,
if you want to get ahold of John Ramos and
um yeah, it should be noted that Jonas doesn't have
concern for the Hawaii Islands as far as vacation next
(30:22):
week real it's not like man, I hope the people
of hawaiire say it's like I'm supposed to go there
for VEK in eight days. Well, you listen to John Rick.
The good guys at the Fox Sports and Hawaii are
great affiliate down there. They've always been really good to me.
I hope that they're all good. I'm actually gonna reach
out to them. But if the hurricane could just beer left,
you just gotta get away from where were we playing?
(30:44):
Will you be catching them on their back side when
you're there or is that just John John Ramos thing?
I do know this, if I did catch anyone on
the back side, it would have the hashtag the John
Ramo Show.
