(00:21):
five Sports Radio. We hope you're having the most spectacular
day you've ever had in the history of your life.
That would be cool, right, I mean, like, wow, that's
(00:41):
a little different than wishing me a good day, the
most spectacular day in the history of your life.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, I feel good?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Well do I do too? I do too? Okay, so congratulations.
In Major League Baseball, they fixed their regular season, by
my estimation, making it I've told you like baseball is
exciting to watch. Is it ever going to be Is
(01:10):
it going to be NFL football college football? In terms
of the contact collisions the game to game. Probably not.
It's a different vibe, right, It's just a different sport.
But they have made it a much more exciting version
of itself with the rule changes going back a year ago.
I mean there's been several rule changes in the last
(01:31):
couple of years, but a year ago is when the
you know, the size of the bases were increased, and
that's when we had more stolen bases. The ship was eliminated,
so we've had more balls put into play, athleticism is back,
and then you know, this Wildcard Round, which is a
three game series all at the same site, has given
(01:52):
us three game threes today. I think the most remarkable
thing about it, guys, if we're being completely candid, is
the only team that swept their opponent and that is
through is the Dodgers. And we have a huge Dodger
fan on our staff, and he can't stand his own team.
(02:13):
It's like he roots for their demise, roots for their demise. Right.
So yeah, I'm just sitting there and trying to figure
trying to figure out how we got to this place
where we got three game threes. Super super exciting, and
(02:38):
the baseball has They've reeled me in. October is always
the best month. I mean, I don't know what it's
like where you are in northeast Wisconsin. We're getting a
little Indian summer. It's like eighty degrees outside. It's amazing.
The weather's good. Even when the weather's not good, the
leagues turn in most parts of the country. College football matters,
NFL starts to matter, and Major League Baseball is great,
(02:59):
and the playoffs are better than anything you can imagine.
The difference and level of intensity of baseball playoffs as
opposed to baseball regular season is the greatest jump in
all the sports. And then you factor in how good
these this wild card's been, and it's pretty amazing. JAYSETU
do you want to talk like, why are you still
not why are you still bitter about your team?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I'm bitter about him? No, yeah, I mean just.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
In your group text. Oh, I don't worry that the
bullpen will still blow it, right, Like they spank the
Reds in two straight games. Yes, they had a bullpen
guy in each game kind of implode, but they had
enough slack, if you will, to easily win both games.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I just still get the sense of you're not in
on your team.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, and I know you're you're being intellectually dishonest right now.
I mean, beating the Reds in a wild card series
that's not the standard for the Dodgers. My obvious goal
is to help my team win the World Series. And
do you think they can win a World Series when
your bullpen in the last two nights in the eighth
inning has an ERA of sixty three and a half.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Uh No, no, I don't. But again, like last night,
the guy who blew up as a rookie, wasn't he.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
She might be a secondhand guy, but our second ear guy.
But yeah, he's no easy gone guy. Yeah, but it's
a It's not like that. It's not like this is
just an issue that happened in the last two nights.
It's been a systemic issue for the entire season. The
maybe the most viral video yesterday was a video of
Mason Miller hitting one hundred and four point three Miles
(04:43):
Prower in the pottery game. The Dodgers are like, no, thanks, Nah,
we don't need to seek Mason Miller because our trade
deadline is going to be the guys coming back from injury.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Right, which obviously has not worked out well for them. Right. Listen,
it's fair, but I again, at some point just enjoy
the Dubs while being cautiously, maybe cautiously pessimistic over the
bullpen moving forward.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Let me give you an example of I mean, the
difference between the Reds and the Phillies, and it kind
of comes back full circle to one of the Dodgers
weak spots. So if you look at the series with
the Phillies, Kyle Schwarber, if you look at the stats
that are ridiculous, Kyle Schwarber had one hundred and thirty
two RBIs this year from the leadoff spot. Shohe Otani
(05:35):
went into the final weekend of the year needing an
RBI for one hundred. In other words, one of the Dodgers'
week spotses are seven through nine. The Phillies have done
exceptionally at the bottom of their order, and then they
went out and got a frontline closer at the tread
dunline and the Dodgers did not. So no, I definitely
(05:57):
I go into each series with this apprehension, and because
I know so well are flaws.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Uh, if you could be in one stadium tonight, which
stadium would it be?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
And why Yankee Stadium? Without a doubt, this is the rival.
This is your your rival for decades, right, yes.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Okay, but the only other option obviously is is Wrigley Right,
like no offense to Cleveland. I don't even know who
that used to be the Jake. I don't know what
that's called now, but it's a it's a distant.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Third aggressive stadium sponsor along the way, is that's still
the field? Progressive Field?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I don't know. You want to get to the Google
machine there, Sammy, that'd be great. So the question is,
and it's a really good question, you'd rather be Yankee
Stadium without a doubt because it's the Red Sox. Does
it feel the same Red Sox and Yankees?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I just think that's like next level stuff, right, A
deciding game at Yankee Stadium with the Red Sox. Well,
Dan Byerfield in for you yesterday he said that, Tom,
why go to game two? If you could go to
game three? Why go to game two? Like, the only
thing that can happen last night is that you get
really down and frustrated for losing Game two. But game three,
(07:17):
my goodness.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Gotta be there a game three Yankees. Here's what happens
with me and baseball does this probably better than anybody else, right,
It brings up nostalgia. It really makes you nostalgia for
the moment and when I first began, when I began
sports radio on a national levels with Chuck Wilson, and
it was in two thousand and three, was our first fall,
(07:40):
and we did counter programming for for the other's place.
And you know, I remember when they put Pedro Martinez
back in the game. He shook everybody's hands, he had
the jacket app and then all of a sudden, he's
back for the seventh inning, and we all knew what happened.
After he hit one hundred pitches, suddenly he became hittable
after being utterly and completely unhittable before that. And that that,
(08:01):
you know, there was career long, season long statistics for it.
So I watched last night and yeah, it brought me
back to three and then to four and Dave Robert
Steel in second base. But I do think that I
don't want to see the rivalry. It's not died. It's
just not the same, right. The Red Sox have won
multiple World Series. There's not a single player or I
(08:23):
don't even know if there's a person in the organization
that was there with the comeback, and we're so far
up and even the Yankees yet the Yankees in the
World Series last year. The Red Sox haven't been there,
hasn't been the same bitterness of rivalry over the last
five to ten years, or at least it doesn't appear
that we're way outwardly so and so I think that
(08:45):
we the idea that Yankees Red Sox would probably be
the choice. But I don't know if it's as big
as slam dunk as turning down Wrigley Game three against
the Padres, even though there's no uniqueness of the rivalry
with the Padres and the Cups by or you bitter disagree.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Sorry, Doug, we just got some behind the scenes stuff
going on here, no problem.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I was asking you if you I just think the
Red Sox Yankees thing, while still sort of a thing,
kind of die. With the Red Sox winning multiple World Series.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I think the whole Red Sox aura did as well,
and there's a piece of it for the Cubs. But
with the matchups today, I mean, I don't know how
Yankee Stadium can get any better. Actually, I think it's
really good with the Cubs playing a day game. I
know it's probably gonna end up at night, but just
(09:41):
the feel of having that game and having the Red
Sox and Yankees actually playing now at least it's a
guaranteed three games to it. I know that we talked
a little bit yesterday and Jason and Monci weren't loving
that these teams are playing now. But it may not
be what it once was, Doug, not be like it
was in two thousand and three, in two thousand and four,
(10:03):
but it's still interesting. And I think that that is
at least a draw tonight. At least you can guarantee
yourself that matchup. But I almost think that the Padres
are so intriguing because of how many times we've thought
maybe it was the Padres year, and then it wasn't,
and now it to Jason's point about their bullpen and
(10:23):
then maybe being a contender. The Brewers didn't have great
luck with the Padres. Maybe they're the hot team. I
think that that is that is an interesting storyline for
twenty twenty five, only in just that the Padres maybe
the team that nobody outside of the Dodgers wants to face.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Hmm. Yeah, I actually really agree with you on that.
I think that's probably what draws me to that game
is the Cubs can do the dirty work for the
Dodgers and everybody else in the NL if they just
win tonight's game. Whereas I guess maybe the Yankees are
(11:02):
that kind of juggernaut, and they've been playing good ball
of late. But I don't feel like it's the same
in terms of everybody wanting them out of the playoffs,
and everybody wants the Padres out one because the Padres
are really talented. And then I don't think people love
how the Padres roll. But baseball does this to us
every year. If you're a quasi baseball fan, if you're like, man,
(11:27):
I've always loved baseball baseball, but you know, October comes
around and it reels you in. And now you have
three game threes on like a random Thursday, and then
we got great series set up. Plus you have Yankees
Red Sox. And I do think that while the Cubs
have lost their lure of being same old Cubs and
(11:47):
wait till next year, Cubs, Wrigley still is special and
I think it's going to be a fascinating night for
both places.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific back
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Hmm, It's Doug Gottlieb Show. Fox Sports Radio Danny Canelli
join us in five minutes. So another year, more ugly
Eagles wins and more of the malcontent than is Aj Brown. Right.
Here's Aj Brown addressing the media yesterday.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
This is home, this is this is my home.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You know this.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Unfortunately I did it to myself. You know, I wouldn't
even say unfortunately I did it to myself, but this
is my home.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Man.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I love the year, but you just see frustration because obviously,
you know, we want to be great and most most
definitely I want to be great as well. Sunday after
the games, I let my frustrations boil over. I didn't
speak to the media. I had a chance to correct
my my frustrations, and I continue to let it boil over.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That's on me.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I take full of the countability on that posting that
my message on Twitter wasn't direct than anyone in the building,
my coaches, on my quarterback, my GM, nobody, you know,
Like I said, I take full account build. I think
it's normal to have frustrations because of the standard that
we hold ourselves to.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
We have a lot of talent on our offense and and.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
To be honest, defense and special teams have been low
key carrying us, you know. And it's it's just like
we need to clean up what we need to clean
up and get on the same page and you know,
and place it a bit that we that we say
that we can and be who we are hoop car
to be. So it's it's a standard that we preach
and so so it's yeah, so it's easy to have
that frustration. I think it's fair to have that frustration.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
But like I said, I just can't let that all over.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
So here's the tweet. If you're not welcome, not listen
to quietly withdraw, don't make a scene, shrug your shoulders
and be on your way, right, Which I get. That's
you know, it's a it's a cryptic biblical message, right,
and you're you're trying to put tweeting it is the
complete opposite of what the verse says, Right, quietly, be
(13:57):
on your way. So we twet it out to our
hundreds of thousands of followers. Yeah, that's the opposite of
being quiet, that's being cryptic. And you just want a game.
You just want a game. So is there offense? Great?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And yeah, he had nine targets, a couple of bad throws,
a couple were just just because or whatever. But they
won the game thirty one to twenty one. They're undefeated
on the season, they're defending super Bowl champion. Like, let's
take our dubs a little bit here, and whatever you
share publicly has got to be positive and whatever you
want to work on, you do that behind the scenes.
(14:39):
What was gained nothing, Nothing was gained by by tweeting that. Nothing.
In fact, like I said, your hypo. You're being a
hypocrite if you're talking about quietly withdrawing and not making
a scene. Tweeting about it is the opposite of what
(15:01):
your what the Bible verse says. And by the way,
that's not it's it's accountabil it's being accountable to say, yeah,
I did it, my bad, I was wrong. Full accountability
is okay, I get suspended for this. If I could
fined for this, I don't complain about it. I'm fully accountable.
It was wrong. We move on.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, Doug, for the record, that aj Brown tweet has
been taken down, but it was up as of yesterday
at this time, So something in the last twenty four hours,
including his recent comments, made him take that tweet down,
but it was up yesterday while we were doing your show.
So just odd that it would sit up there for
three days and then now, oh, kind of I'm taking
it down. There's nothing against my head coach a quarterback
(15:44):
or GM.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Stug ottlab show here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's welcome man.
He's a good friend of the program, a good friend
of mine, and I just love talking football with him.
Danny Canell joins us, of course. He was a standout
quarterback of Florida State, started in the Nation Football League.
He joined us on behalf of bet Online. I got
bet online dot ag for updated college football playoff, Heisman
and college football Week six lines. What was last Friday
(16:11):
night like for you? Obviously, DK played at Florida State.
Florida State huge win over Alabama to start the season,
but lost to Virginia on a that was a crazy
incomplete catch. He caught it, but he didn't have I
don't know by rules it was an incomplete pass? Were
thos emotions like watching that game?
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Oh, Doug. So, I had about fifteen people over, a
couple of colleagues of mine from work. I had my
sister in law who went to Florida State. My wife
was there who went to Florida State. My daughters were watching,
and I thought it was going to be one because
I don't like having friends over when it's going to
be an intense game, right Like, I don't want to
be all stressed out. So I thought it was going
to be a comfortable win, send everybody home in halftime,
(16:53):
you know, with a comfortable leads. Instead, we're on the
edge of our seats throughout, like thinking, holy cow, is
this really going to happen? And then to come down,
I mean, devastating was pretty much the sentiment that was
going around. And you mentioned the deuce Robinson catch. I
thought they got it right, Like, thank goodness, because I
didn't want to have the game and Florida State fans
can be a little bit obnoxious every once in a while,
(17:14):
so I'm glad there wasn't a call at the end
that would have taken away from it because it was
a phenomenal game. It was a fun game, and you
have to give credit to Virginia Channel. Morris was incredible,
but it was It was definitely a devastating loss. But
the good news and I think this is the way
you have to approach it. If you're Mike Norvell, is
you have an opportunity to erase that loss as quickly
(17:34):
as possible as the game against Miami this weekend. You
just have to make sure you do that because if
you lose back to back games. I know, the win
against Bama was big, and Bama looks like they could
be really good. You just wonder what a two loss
Florida State team would look like in the committee's eyes.
But then even apside from that, like who knows what
the rest of the season holds for Florida State, Like
(17:55):
if you lose to Virginia, it's kind of like, here
we go again. Is this going to be another roller
coaster ride? So it was devastating on Friday nights, But
of course my family, my Florida State friends are hoping
we can erase that quickly with a nice win against
Florida against Miami this weekend.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Okay, how did they match up against Miami?
Speaker 6 (18:13):
At the skill position's really good. At the offensive and
defensive lines not so much. And that's really not a
knock against Florida State. It's more about Miami, who has
one of the best offensive lines one of the best
defensive lines in the country. There are edge rushers Reuben
Bayin and keem mezidor absolute beast coming off the edge.
But I do think Florida State, I mean you, I
would have said the same thing about the Alabama game.
(18:36):
And that's the one thing that a mobile quarterback does
is it neutralizes some of that edge. And that's what
you saw actually in Virginia. I mean, Chamla Morris was
from taking that ball on his own when any time
there wasn't a place to go, and he was able
to beat him. So that's how you handle it on
the offensive size the ball. So it's concerning. I don't
think it's something that means you can't win. For the defense,
that probably is my biggest concern because if Carson Beck
(18:58):
has all day to throw and they're able to get
their running back march Mark Fletcher going and they can
march down the field and keep it away from Florida State,
that is a way one. It devastates your morale, you
can't get off the field, and it really takes the
crowd out of the game. So that's something to watch
out for. If they're driving the length of the field
and they're keeping possession of the football, that does not
bode well for Florida State, who wants to go fast,
(19:20):
They want to go up tempo. They want a lot
of possessions, they want a lot of big plays. If
they can't get off the field defensively, that could be
a long night for the Seminoles.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Vanderbilts undefeated. They take on Alabama. Alabama well lost to
Florida State, but then they go up and beat Georgia.
At Georgia, BAM is a ten and a half point
favorite in the totals fifty five and a half.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Would you like I like two plays in this game.
I actually think Bama kind of puts the hammer down here.
If the last year it happened right they went to Nashville,
they got beat. I think that's the best thing for
Caitlin to boor. His team has been reminded and told
about that game all the offseason long. It kept them
out of the playoffs last year. I just think for
the better team. I think they're one of the best
(20:01):
teams in the entire country, and I do think that
this is the opportunity for them to kind of showcase
what they can do. Diego Pavia has been awesome and
I just wonder how many times can he put the
team on his back, and I think this is sort
of when it comes to an end for Vanderbilt. And
I also like the total in this game, where you
look at the amount of points in this one, Bama
(20:22):
I think is going to score cart excuse me. Their
quarterback Ty Simpson has been phenomenal. They have so much
firepower on the offensive side of the ball, and I
do think Diego Pavia will put up some points, so
I think it's a higher scoring game, and ultimately I
think Bama pulls away and win wins by two touchdowns
or more.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Okay, help me out here, do you Does Bobby Petrino
keep the job at Arkansas?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
No?
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Unless he pulls off a miracle like they their schedule
that they have left, they're going to be significant underdogs.
If he somehow got to eight wins or something like that,
then he would. I really see zero chance of that happen.
They're just the schedule's too tough. I mean, he also
fired in like three of the defensive coaches. It has
me wondering who the heck is running the defense for them.
(21:08):
I mean, I'm sure they have I mean every staff
has forty coaches on it, so they'll be bodies out
there to coach, but I just think it's going to
be an uphill battle. I do think if he got
to seven wins, it becomes interesting because I do think
there's a smith Can portion of the Arkansas fan base
that would love to kind of try to run it
back with them. I also wonder, too, is he the
type of coach like I saw Brent Key at Georgia
(21:30):
Tech come in as an interim coach and infuse a
ton of life into that program. But I don't know
if Bobby Petrino is that style of coach, somebody who
emotionally gets a team up. He's a little bit harsh,
you know, one of those kind of old school coaches,
not afraid to call out his players. I don't know
if he really is the type of coach that's just
emotionally gonna lift up a team when they need it
the most. So I don't think he is. And then
(21:52):
one gets really interesting, is it's not a really attractive
job right now. But that's hard to explain because they
have the type and foods money, they have Walmart money,
They've got boosters that can actually contribute, but they need
to step up to the plate and pull a package
together to show to a potential coach, a guy like
Rhet Lashley, who who went to college there and it's
(22:13):
probably one of the top coaches available, say all right,
we're going to make this an attractive job where we're
going to be able to compete with Texas and Alabama
and Georgia some of the programs that invest heavily in
the sport of football. But it doesn't help when they're
athletic director just a few weeks ago says we can't
really compete for a national championship like that's I thought
that was a really embarrassing look for them. So they've
(22:34):
got some sort of they got some image repair to do.
After he went on the record with those comments, what
do you.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Think of coaches being fired this early into the season,
What do you get?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
I think it's ridiculous. I mean, I really do. But
in all of those situations, Doug like, I've always been
somebody who's been preaching patients with fan bases, and I
understand where it can get frustrating because you want to win,
and you want to win now. And like some of them,
they were very obvious, like there's not one firing where
I was like oh, I get it, but it becomes
(23:06):
so toxic where it almost becomes impossible to win with
anybody that's there. So they're almost trying to win over
the fan base more than they are the actual players
on the field, you know, because I think that's what
happened at Arkansas. It's a great example. They get blown
out at home, they're losing. At halftime, the stadium empties out,
and I think the boosters get involved. They start counting
the table, saying this is unacceptable, but what good does
(23:28):
it do? And there's almost this race to get in
line for the next big head coach, which doesn't really
make sense because all of the attractive coaches I mentioned
Rhet Lashley, John Thumrawl at Tulane. You know, there's some
really good coaches. None of them are going to leave
the jobs they're at right now. They're all going to
wait until their season is over. So unless you were
going to go hire somebody off the market, a guy
(23:49):
like a jimbo Fisher or an Urban Meyer, you know
Nick Saban, if he decided to come out of retirement,
it doesn't make any sense to do with this early.
So I look at it and I scratch my head
and say, what is the purpose of this when you're
firing coaches before the month of October. It's kind of insanity.
But it's a copycat league, you know, kind of like
every league. They see other schools do it, and they're like, oh,
(24:09):
we better do it to get in the front of
the line for the interviews. But I don't think that
really matters that much.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
It doesn't.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
All it does.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
All it actually does is it allows those players to
either get in the portal or if they haven't played
that they haven't played that the extra game, they can
wade shirt that season and save it and not play
for you completely legally, right.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And in fact,
I mean Arkansas they did wait for the fifth game, right,
so that kind of screwed over the players that could
have red shirted or potentially you know, got out of
the portal early. That is part of the underbelly of
the system that you know very well, that is just
a little bit shady when there's oftentimes they're looking out
for the best interes of you know, the program only
(24:51):
and not really looking out for the best interest of
the players.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Football is better when everybody all the schools in Florida
are really good. The Central Florida is obviously better now
with Scott Frost. Miami is back, Florida State appears to
be close to back right, not quite there. As you
point out in lines, what about Florida can can Billy Napier?
Will he get to hang on?
Speaker 6 (25:15):
I doubt it. It kind of follows the trend too.
I mean, their boosters, their fan base, they're circling like
sharks in the water. And I fear that if they
get beat by Texas this weekend, and really if it's sideways,
but even if they only lose by a field goal
and there's some you know, a lot of penalties or
sort of some sort of you know, coaching blunders that
are in there, I wonder if he survives the weekend.
(25:35):
But the crazy thing is, like we saw this story
unfold last year, like they were left for dead. They
had got blown out at home by Texas, A and
m and Miami, and then the team kind of figures
it out. They play hard, and they win their last
four games of the season and win their bowl game,
and there's all this optimism around the program. It's been
a little bit of disaster because they lose to USF, Like,
that's the one that's inexcusable. Their quarterback those five interceptions
(25:58):
at LSU, Like, how is that on billion napier? You know,
you could say it's on quarterback development, which I understand,
And then they lose it in Miami in the game
that was competitive for a half, but then it's just like, man,
they look like they're so far behind. But I do
think this weekend is one. I think this is the
last stand. Like, I feel like this weekend they will
get their best effort from the Florida Gators. They're playing
(26:20):
against arch Manning, Texas is coming to town. It's a
huge brand. I think the swamp will be loud. And actually,
what I worry about in this situation is a fan
being their worst enemy. Like if they go three and
out two series in a row, they're going to be
doing and like what good does that do for the
team off the field.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah don't I don't know, Right, makes them feel bad
about themselves, which the kids need confidence, Like it doesn't make.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Any sense, and I hate that for him. So but
I actually do think the Gators will get their best
effort this week and I'm very curious to see what
arch Manning does, because he hasn't been great. You know,
it was last time we saw him on the road
was that the Horseshoe and he was a little bit skittish.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
You know.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
He had the one game against Sam Houston where it
was a much inferior opponent. I'm very, very curious to
see against a defense that is pretty good still in
the Florida Gators.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Stell Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio, Danny Canell

Speaker 5 (27:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
And not refuse miming. I guess he mined. I guess
we're saying he mined his answers when asked about Dylan
Gabriel getting the start for the Browns.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
I mean, I thought it was idiotic. I just like,
what are you doing? First of all, the third string
quarterback should never be speaking to the media. And trust me,
this is somebody who was a third string quarterback. Like
your job is to lay low, your job is to
just kind of do the work. Especially as a rookie,
Like even if you're a backup as a rookie, I was,
I was always kind of hiding from the media, Like
(27:57):
what was my position on the team to be speaking
to the media about anything, Like you're sort of one
of the lower places on the roster. I mean half
the time, you're not even active for the game. And
by the way, like I saw some people saying, well,
Cleveland shouldn't have made him available. You can hide, you
know this, Doug, Like when the media availability is there,
you can go watch film, you can go in the
training room, like, you can leave unless they request to
(28:18):
bring you out, and then in that circumstance you could
still say no. But I do think Shudora loves the
spotlight and he loves talking. And not only was it
idiotic and kind of stupid to do, but what about
the fact you're on a team that's one in three,
it's been an awful season, and you're kind of joking around,
like making light of this whole situation. I'd be really
curious to know what Kevin Stefanski thinks off the record.
(28:39):
I bet he's not super enthused.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
About it, Danny, you know what he thinks? Yeah, there's
no there's no question anybody who and listen, I'm telling
you this as a coach, but as also a human being,
and we both played college sports, we about to know.
There's no question he thinks he's a jackass. There's just
no question. I'm nice and he actually he actually really
(29:06):
helped Kevin Stefanski with that because there's pressure to play him,
he's quite obviously not ready. And I think the big
thing is they like Dylan Gabriel because Dylan Gabriel do
exactly what they tell him to do. Right, That's like
we just just a to B B two C, really
simple whatever. But because of how immature it looked. And
(29:27):
I even think Dion's telling people admitting that he told
the Ravens not to draft him because he didn't want
to be a backup. I think all of those things
it helps Stefanski where he can just coach and evaluate
Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
I hope. So I do have a feeling. I mean,
the team has been struggling. I do wonder how like
they're not going to bench Dylan Gabriel if he throws
two picks, but I do wonder if they lose another
two or three games, in a row. If Kevin Stefanski
is just like, you know what, let's roll him out
there and let everybody see and let him kind of
expose himself and then on the flip side of Schandor
makes the most of it. I mean, can you imagine
in Asia it's going to be there will be off
(30:02):
the charts. I just don't think he's ready to play either.
I just thought it was a bad look all around.
But I will say, like the Chador backers, they're not
seeing any of it. They love it. They're like, good
for Shador. But those people aren't realistic. They don't know
how sports work or an NFL locker room works. Like
to Fancy, I do agree with you. I do wonder
what the locker room thinks, because most time they do
(30:23):
treat rookies all the same. It doesn't matter if you're
a first round pick, third round pick, or a fifth
round pick. They kind of expect you to shut up
and go about your work. And Shaduur has been doing
anything but that, And that is probably the most important thing.
What are the players, because they talk to other players
around the league, and if you get a bad reputation
as a bad teammate, and the guy who's kind of
a distraction among the players that can be more devastating
(30:45):
than what the coaches think.

Any what you got, Doug? The game today is.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I feel a draft?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
All right, drafting as it is October? Second best things
about October. Best things about October by the way top
of the third inning, the Tigers and Guardians still scoreless
in Cleveland. Doug, you have the first pick. I will
pick second, Sam third, then Jason as the two swing picks.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Best thing about October, yes, purely, sports are all all.
I think the weather.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
M h.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
I think the weather. You know, you get like right
again right now the Midwest is really warm, really nice,
and then by the end of the month you'll get
real fall, foliage, leaves, apples, apple cider, Halloween. Yeah, I
think the weather. Weather's the best part.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Anybody want to trade for number two?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I think Doug just was like three things that we
could possibly have chosen with the weather.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
The weather just curious. Anybody anybody want to trade? All right? Trade?
Oh jeez, you're trading up from eight that's that's wait
wait wait wait, how does that work? It's pretty happy again.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
He asked, if anybody want to trade.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I don't have to accept his trade. So how does
he just get to jump like that? Well, I guess we.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Didn't anybody want to trade. And I said I want
to trade, and he had not said yes yet. Sam,
you know how trades work. I guess.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Okay, it doesn't seem fair.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
All right, Baseball October baseball is the best.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
It's just.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
And listen, I'll give credit. There's there's parts of.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Oh, I didn't even agree to the trade. Yeah, I
didn't agree.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
To the yes.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
When he said yes, I thought, okay, no.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
No, I didn't. I was telling Sam that because Sam yelled,
hold on a second, and I said, I didn't agree
to Doug's trade. Doug doesn't have anything for me to offer,
so that's why. Yeah, So no, I'm not gonna I'm
not gonna do the trade. I'm going to say conference
games in college football conference conference games in college football,
conference play gets into the swing. It really feels like
(34:02):
the season starts with good conference playing college football. Okay,
all right, Sam, your number three?
Speaker 7 (34:09):
All right, Jason's not gonna like this, but I'm gonna
take October birthday, which I will be turning nine on
October nineteenth. Uh and so that is October birthday and
mix it with all that other stuff, the weather and football.
My goodness, it's a pleasant time. The youngest guy on
the show by a mile mumbles his age. Yea, do
you think I'm happy about my last year in my thirties.
(34:31):
I mean, if you could go back and you just
feel what I like? Trade, I do not want to
trade back in trade?
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Do you want to trade?
Speaker 7 (34:39):
Do I get your do we get to switch switch
like lives, like I see your life through my eyes? Nope,
I don't get your jobs or your house or anything.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Then I'm good.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
No trade, Yep.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
I'm just gonna go Dodgers. I'm gonna go specific Dodgers.
There they become synonymous with October. I don't need to
lay out the stats always playing love the Dodgers in October.
And then I could go with my birthday, which is
the sixteenth, but I'm not. I'm gonna go with pumpkin
spiced anything, whether it be candle, a latte. Just get
(35:13):
me pumpkin spice of anything, and I'm in. I'm raising
my hand.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
All right, Okay, you got together. You're two. Now stand
back to you.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
Okay, so we did Jason as two picks. Okay, get
both picks, man, Okay, I'll just go something a little
more specific. How about I don't know if you already
took this, but leaves changing colors? Is that okay to
take that? Has that ey been drafted?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Yes, it's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 7 (35:40):
I mean you see the leaves change colors out here,
kind of more in December when it rains. Actually, some
of the sweet gum trees will change colors. But you
guys think it's October.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
It's October October on all of the classic rock stations. Yeah,
coming up next, we got some dock in Van Halen.
But first, a C d C kills her mind? Heard
of docking and rock?
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Every sounds house the same.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
We're around a high way, the hell with the Nostra.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I love it though.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
If you like a C d C, then all their
sound songs sound good. If you don't care for them,
you say they all sound the same.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Oh, yes, final Halloween, Halloween.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I love Halloween. I love Halloween. Blatant rip off of porum,
But that's okay, of what.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I couldn't stand Halloween, couldn't and then it just as
a kid now, like all all up until the last
couple of years because my son loves it, so I
am warming up to it.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah, Oh it's the I mean, you know, when they're young,
it's like, oh my god, look at all that candy.
But then you realize, like there's just a limit how
much candy they can eat. It's one night sugar rush,
they pass out. You throw it all the candy.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Truss because we've had ghosts and cobwebs around our house
for the last three weeks. So, yes, he loves it.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
It's the opposite of anything. Child. But I would say
that the cool thing about Halloween now is that women
are empowered to dress slutty and put it on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yes, I like that part too. My daughters, My daughters,
my daughters. We could skip that part. Coming up on

five Sports Radio. We hope you're having the most spectacular
day you've ever had in the history of your life.
That would be cool, right, I mean, like, wow, that's
(00:41):
a little different than wishing me a good day, the
most spectacular day in the history of your life.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, I feel good?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Well do I do too? I do too? Okay, so congratulations.
In Major League Baseball, they fixed their regular season, by
my estimation, making it I've told you like baseball is
exciting to watch. Is it ever going to be Is
(01:10):
it going to be NFL football college football? In terms
of the contact collisions the game to game. Probably not.
It's a different vibe, right, It's just a different sport.
But they have made it a much more exciting version
of itself with the rule changes going back a year ago.
I mean there's been several rule changes in the last
(01:31):
couple of years, but a year ago is when the
you know, the size of the bases were increased, and
that's when we had more stolen bases. The ship was eliminated,
so we've had more balls put into play, athleticism is back,
and then you know, this Wildcard Round, which is a
three game series all at the same site, has given
(01:52):
us three game threes today. I think the most remarkable
thing about it, guys, if we're being completely candid, is
the only team that swept their opponent and that is
through is the Dodgers. And we have a huge Dodger
fan on our staff, and he can't stand his own team.
(02:13):
It's like he roots for their demise, roots for their demise. Right.
So yeah, I'm just sitting there and trying to figure
trying to figure out how we got to this place
where we got three game threes. Super super exciting, and
(02:38):
the baseball has They've reeled me in. October is always
the best month. I mean, I don't know what it's
like where you are in northeast Wisconsin. We're getting a
little Indian summer. It's like eighty degrees outside. It's amazing.
The weather's good. Even when the weather's not good, the
leagues turn in most parts of the country. College football matters,
NFL starts to matter, and Major League Baseball is great,
(02:59):
and the playoffs are better than anything you can imagine.
The difference and level of intensity of baseball playoffs as
opposed to baseball regular season is the greatest jump in
all the sports. And then you factor in how good
these this wild card's been, and it's pretty amazing. JAYSETU
do you want to talk like, why are you still
not why are you still bitter about your team?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I'm bitter about him? No, yeah, I mean just.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
In your group text. Oh, I don't worry that the
bullpen will still blow it, right, Like they spank the
Reds in two straight games. Yes, they had a bullpen
guy in each game kind of implode, but they had
enough slack, if you will, to easily win both games.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I just still get the sense of you're not in
on your team.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, and I know you're you're being intellectually dishonest right now.
I mean, beating the Reds in a wild card series
that's not the standard for the Dodgers. My obvious goal
is to help my team win the World Series. And
do you think they can win a World Series when
your bullpen in the last two nights in the eighth
inning has an ERA of sixty three and a half.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Uh No, no, I don't. But again, like last night,
the guy who blew up as a rookie, wasn't he.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
She might be a secondhand guy, but our second ear guy.
But yeah, he's no easy gone guy. Yeah, but it's
a It's not like that. It's not like this is
just an issue that happened in the last two nights.
It's been a systemic issue for the entire season. The
maybe the most viral video yesterday was a video of
Mason Miller hitting one hundred and four point three Miles
(04:43):
Prower in the pottery game. The Dodgers are like, no, thanks, Nah,
we don't need to seek Mason Miller because our trade
deadline is going to be the guys coming back from injury.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Right, which obviously has not worked out well for them. Right. Listen,
it's fair, but I again, at some point just enjoy
the Dubs while being cautiously, maybe cautiously pessimistic over the
bullpen moving forward.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Let me give you an example of I mean, the
difference between the Reds and the Phillies, and it kind
of comes back full circle to one of the Dodgers
weak spots. So if you look at the series with
the Phillies, Kyle Schwarber, if you look at the stats
that are ridiculous, Kyle Schwarber had one hundred and thirty
two RBIs this year from the leadoff spot. Shohe Otani
(05:35):
went into the final weekend of the year needing an
RBI for one hundred. In other words, one of the Dodgers'
week spotses are seven through nine. The Phillies have done
exceptionally at the bottom of their order, and then they
went out and got a frontline closer at the tread
dunline and the Dodgers did not. So no, I definitely
(05:57):
I go into each series with this apprehension, and because
I know so well are flaws.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Uh, if you could be in one stadium tonight, which
stadium would it be?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
And why Yankee Stadium? Without a doubt, this is the rival.
This is your your rival for decades, right, yes.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Okay, but the only other option obviously is is Wrigley Right,
like no offense to Cleveland. I don't even know who
that used to be the Jake. I don't know what
that's called now, but it's a it's a distant.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Third aggressive stadium sponsor along the way, is that's still
the field? Progressive Field?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I don't know. You want to get to the Google
machine there, Sammy, that'd be great. So the question is,
and it's a really good question, you'd rather be Yankee
Stadium without a doubt because it's the Red Sox. Does
it feel the same Red Sox and Yankees?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I just think that's like next level stuff, right, A
deciding game at Yankee Stadium with the Red Sox. Well,
Dan Byerfield in for you yesterday he said that, Tom,
why go to game two? If you could go to
game three? Why go to game two? Like, the only
thing that can happen last night is that you get
really down and frustrated for losing Game two. But game three,
(07:17):
my goodness.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Gotta be there a game three Yankees. Here's what happens
with me and baseball does this probably better than anybody else, right,
It brings up nostalgia. It really makes you nostalgia for
the moment and when I first began, when I began
sports radio on a national levels with Chuck Wilson, and
it was in two thousand and three, was our first fall,
(07:40):
and we did counter programming for for the other's place.
And you know, I remember when they put Pedro Martinez
back in the game. He shook everybody's hands, he had
the jacket app and then all of a sudden, he's
back for the seventh inning, and we all knew what happened.
After he hit one hundred pitches, suddenly he became hittable
after being utterly and completely unhittable before that. And that that,
(08:01):
you know, there was career long, season long statistics for it.
So I watched last night and yeah, it brought me
back to three and then to four and Dave Robert
Steel in second base. But I do think that I
don't want to see the rivalry. It's not died. It's
just not the same, right. The Red Sox have won
multiple World Series. There's not a single player or I
(08:23):
don't even know if there's a person in the organization
that was there with the comeback, and we're so far
up and even the Yankees yet the Yankees in the
World Series last year. The Red Sox haven't been there,
hasn't been the same bitterness of rivalry over the last
five to ten years, or at least it doesn't appear
that we're way outwardly so and so I think that
(08:45):
we the idea that Yankees Red Sox would probably be
the choice. But I don't know if it's as big
as slam dunk as turning down Wrigley Game three against
the Padres, even though there's no uniqueness of the rivalry
with the Padres and the Cups by or you bitter disagree.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Sorry, Doug, we just got some behind the scenes stuff
going on here, no problem.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I was asking you if you I just think the
Red Sox Yankees thing, while still sort of a thing,
kind of die. With the Red Sox winning multiple World Series.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I think the whole Red Sox aura did as well,
and there's a piece of it for the Cubs. But
with the matchups today, I mean, I don't know how
Yankee Stadium can get any better. Actually, I think it's
really good with the Cubs playing a day game. I
know it's probably gonna end up at night, but just
(09:41):
the feel of having that game and having the Red
Sox and Yankees actually playing now at least it's a
guaranteed three games to it. I know that we talked
a little bit yesterday and Jason and Monci weren't loving
that these teams are playing now. But it may not
be what it once was, Doug, not be like it
was in two thousand and three, in two thousand and four,
(10:03):
but it's still interesting. And I think that that is
at least a draw tonight. At least you can guarantee
yourself that matchup. But I almost think that the Padres
are so intriguing because of how many times we've thought
maybe it was the Padres year, and then it wasn't,
and now it to Jason's point about their bullpen and
(10:23):
then maybe being a contender. The Brewers didn't have great
luck with the Padres. Maybe they're the hot team. I
think that that is that is an interesting storyline for
twenty twenty five, only in just that the Padres maybe
the team that nobody outside of the Dodgers wants to face.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Hmm. Yeah, I actually really agree with you on that.
I think that's probably what draws me to that game
is the Cubs can do the dirty work for the
Dodgers and everybody else in the NL if they just
win tonight's game. Whereas I guess maybe the Yankees are
(11:02):
that kind of juggernaut, and they've been playing good ball
of late. But I don't feel like it's the same
in terms of everybody wanting them out of the playoffs,
and everybody wants the Padres out one because the Padres
are really talented. And then I don't think people love
how the Padres roll. But baseball does this to us
every year. If you're a quasi baseball fan, if you're like, man,
(11:27):
I've always loved baseball baseball, but you know, October comes
around and it reels you in. And now you have
three game threes on like a random Thursday, and then
we got great series set up. Plus you have Yankees
Red Sox. And I do think that while the Cubs
have lost their lure of being same old Cubs and
(11:47):
wait till next year, Cubs, Wrigley still is special and
I think it's going to be a fascinating night for
both places.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific back
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Hmm, It's Doug Gottlieb Show. Fox Sports Radio Danny Canelli
join us in five minutes. So another year, more ugly
Eagles wins and more of the malcontent than is Aj Brown. Right.
Here's Aj Brown addressing the media yesterday.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
This is home, this is this is my home.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You know this.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Unfortunately I did it to myself. You know, I wouldn't
even say unfortunately I did it to myself, but this
is my home.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Man.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I love the year, but you just see frustration because obviously,
you know, we want to be great and most most
definitely I want to be great as well. Sunday after
the games, I let my frustrations boil over. I didn't
speak to the media. I had a chance to correct
my my frustrations, and I continue to let it boil over.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That's on me.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I take full of the countability on that posting that
my message on Twitter wasn't direct than anyone in the building,
my coaches, on my quarterback, my GM, nobody, you know,
Like I said, I take full account build. I think
it's normal to have frustrations because of the standard that
we hold ourselves to.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
We have a lot of talent on our offense and and.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
To be honest, defense and special teams have been low
key carrying us, you know. And it's it's just like
we need to clean up what we need to clean
up and get on the same page and you know,
and place it a bit that we that we say
that we can and be who we are hoop car
to be. So it's it's a standard that we preach
and so so it's yeah, so it's easy to have
that frustration. I think it's fair to have that frustration.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
But like I said, I just can't let that all over.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
So here's the tweet. If you're not welcome, not listen
to quietly withdraw, don't make a scene, shrug your shoulders
and be on your way, right, Which I get. That's
you know, it's a it's a cryptic biblical message, right,
and you're you're trying to put tweeting it is the
complete opposite of what the verse says, Right, quietly, be
(13:57):
on your way. So we twet it out to our
hundreds of thousands of followers. Yeah, that's the opposite of
being quiet, that's being cryptic. And you just want a game.
You just want a game. So is there offense? Great?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And yeah, he had nine targets, a couple of bad throws,
a couple were just just because or whatever. But they
won the game thirty one to twenty one. They're undefeated
on the season, they're defending super Bowl champion. Like, let's
take our dubs a little bit here, and whatever you
share publicly has got to be positive and whatever you
want to work on, you do that behind the scenes.
(14:39):
What was gained nothing, Nothing was gained by by tweeting that. Nothing.
In fact, like I said, your hypo. You're being a
hypocrite if you're talking about quietly withdrawing and not making
a scene. Tweeting about it is the opposite of what
(15:01):
your what the Bible verse says. And by the way,
that's not it's it's accountabil it's being accountable to say, yeah,
I did it, my bad, I was wrong. Full accountability
is okay, I get suspended for this. If I could
fined for this, I don't complain about it. I'm fully accountable.
It was wrong. We move on.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, Doug, for the record, that aj Brown tweet has
been taken down, but it was up as of yesterday
at this time, So something in the last twenty four hours,
including his recent comments, made him take that tweet down,
but it was up yesterday while we were doing your show.
So just odd that it would sit up there for
three days and then now, oh, kind of I'm taking
it down. There's nothing against my head coach a quarterback
(15:44):
or GM.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Stug ottlab show here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's welcome man.
He's a good friend of the program, a good friend
of mine, and I just love talking football with him.
Danny Canell joins us, of course. He was a standout
quarterback of Florida State, started in the Nation Football League.
He joined us on behalf of bet Online. I got
bet online dot ag for updated college football playoff, Heisman
and college football Week six lines. What was last Friday
(16:11):
night like for you? Obviously, DK played at Florida State.
Florida State huge win over Alabama to start the season,
but lost to Virginia on a that was a crazy
incomplete catch. He caught it, but he didn't have I
don't know by rules it was an incomplete pass? Were
thos emotions like watching that game?
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Oh, Doug. So, I had about fifteen people over, a
couple of colleagues of mine from work. I had my
sister in law who went to Florida State. My wife
was there who went to Florida State. My daughters were watching,
and I thought it was going to be one because
I don't like having friends over when it's going to
be an intense game, right Like, I don't want to
be all stressed out. So I thought it was going
to be a comfortable win, send everybody home in halftime,
(16:53):
you know, with a comfortable leads. Instead, we're on the
edge of our seats throughout, like thinking, holy cow, is
this really going to happen? And then to come down,
I mean, devastating was pretty much the sentiment that was
going around. And you mentioned the deuce Robinson catch. I
thought they got it right, Like, thank goodness, because I
didn't want to have the game and Florida State fans
can be a little bit obnoxious every once in a while,
(17:14):
so I'm glad there wasn't a call at the end
that would have taken away from it because it was
a phenomenal game. It was a fun game, and you
have to give credit to Virginia Channel. Morris was incredible,
but it was It was definitely a devastating loss. But
the good news and I think this is the way
you have to approach it. If you're Mike Norvell, is
you have an opportunity to erase that loss as quickly
(17:34):
as possible as the game against Miami this weekend. You
just have to make sure you do that because if
you lose back to back games. I know, the win
against Bama was big, and Bama looks like they could
be really good. You just wonder what a two loss
Florida State team would look like in the committee's eyes.
But then even apside from that, like who knows what
the rest of the season holds for Florida State, Like
(17:55):
if you lose to Virginia, it's kind of like, here
we go again. Is this going to be another roller
coaster ride? So it was devastating on Friday nights, But
of course my family, my Florida State friends are hoping
we can erase that quickly with a nice win against
Florida against Miami this weekend.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Okay, how did they match up against Miami?
Speaker 6 (18:13):
At the skill position's really good. At the offensive and
defensive lines not so much. And that's really not a
knock against Florida State. It's more about Miami, who has
one of the best offensive lines one of the best
defensive lines in the country. There are edge rushers Reuben
Bayin and keem mezidor absolute beast coming off the edge.
But I do think Florida State, I mean you, I
would have said the same thing about the Alabama game.
(18:36):
And that's the one thing that a mobile quarterback does
is it neutralizes some of that edge. And that's what
you saw actually in Virginia. I mean, Chamla Morris was
from taking that ball on his own when any time
there wasn't a place to go, and he was able
to beat him. So that's how you handle it on
the offensive size the ball. So it's concerning. I don't
think it's something that means you can't win. For the defense,
that probably is my biggest concern because if Carson Beck
(18:58):
has all day to throw and they're able to get
their running back march Mark Fletcher going and they can
march down the field and keep it away from Florida State,
that is a way one. It devastates your morale, you
can't get off the field, and it really takes the
crowd out of the game. So that's something to watch
out for. If they're driving the length of the field
and they're keeping possession of the football, that does not
bode well for Florida State, who wants to go fast,
(19:20):
They want to go up tempo. They want a lot
of possessions, they want a lot of big plays. If
they can't get off the field defensively, that could be
a long night for the Seminoles.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Vanderbilts undefeated. They take on Alabama. Alabama well lost to
Florida State, but then they go up and beat Georgia.
At Georgia, BAM is a ten and a half point
favorite in the totals fifty five and a half.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Would you like I like two plays in this game.
I actually think Bama kind of puts the hammer down here.
If the last year it happened right they went to Nashville,
they got beat. I think that's the best thing for
Caitlin to boor. His team has been reminded and told
about that game all the offseason long. It kept them
out of the playoffs last year. I just think for
the better team. I think they're one of the best
(20:01):
teams in the entire country, and I do think that
this is the opportunity for them to kind of showcase
what they can do. Diego Pavia has been awesome and
I just wonder how many times can he put the
team on his back, and I think this is sort
of when it comes to an end for Vanderbilt. And
I also like the total in this game, where you
look at the amount of points in this one, Bama
(20:22):
I think is going to score cart excuse me. Their
quarterback Ty Simpson has been phenomenal. They have so much
firepower on the offensive side of the ball, and I
do think Diego Pavia will put up some points, so
I think it's a higher scoring game, and ultimately I
think Bama pulls away and win wins by two touchdowns
or more.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Okay, help me out here, do you Does Bobby Petrino
keep the job at Arkansas?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
No?
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Unless he pulls off a miracle like they their schedule
that they have left, they're going to be significant underdogs.
If he somehow got to eight wins or something like that,
then he would. I really see zero chance of that happen.
They're just the schedule's too tough. I mean, he also
fired in like three of the defensive coaches. It has
me wondering who the heck is running the defense for them.
(21:08):
I mean, I'm sure they have I mean every staff
has forty coaches on it, so they'll be bodies out
there to coach, but I just think it's going to
be an uphill battle. I do think if he got
to seven wins, it becomes interesting because I do think
there's a smith Can portion of the Arkansas fan base
that would love to kind of try to run it
back with them. I also wonder, too, is he the
type of coach like I saw Brent Key at Georgia
(21:30):
Tech come in as an interim coach and infuse a
ton of life into that program. But I don't know
if Bobby Petrino is that style of coach, somebody who
emotionally gets a team up. He's a little bit harsh,
you know, one of those kind of old school coaches,
not afraid to call out his players. I don't know
if he really is the type of coach that's just
emotionally gonna lift up a team when they need it
the most. So I don't think he is. And then
(21:52):
one gets really interesting, is it's not a really attractive
job right now. But that's hard to explain because they
have the type and foods money, they have Walmart money,
They've got boosters that can actually contribute, but they need
to step up to the plate and pull a package
together to show to a potential coach, a guy like
Rhet Lashley, who who went to college there and it's
(22:13):
probably one of the top coaches available, say all right,
we're going to make this an attractive job where we're
going to be able to compete with Texas and Alabama
and Georgia some of the programs that invest heavily in
the sport of football. But it doesn't help when they're
athletic director just a few weeks ago says we can't
really compete for a national championship like that's I thought
that was a really embarrassing look for them. So they've
(22:34):
got some sort of they got some image repair to do.
After he went on the record with those comments, what
do you.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Think of coaches being fired this early into the season,
What do you get?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
I think it's ridiculous. I mean, I really do. But
in all of those situations, Doug like, I've always been
somebody who's been preaching patients with fan bases, and I
understand where it can get frustrating because you want to win,
and you want to win now. And like some of them,
they were very obvious, like there's not one firing where
I was like oh, I get it, but it becomes
(23:06):
so toxic where it almost becomes impossible to win with
anybody that's there. So they're almost trying to win over
the fan base more than they are the actual players
on the field, you know, because I think that's what
happened at Arkansas. It's a great example. They get blown
out at home, they're losing. At halftime, the stadium empties out,
and I think the boosters get involved. They start counting
the table, saying this is unacceptable, but what good does
(23:28):
it do? And there's almost this race to get in
line for the next big head coach, which doesn't really
make sense because all of the attractive coaches I mentioned
Rhet Lashley, John Thumrawl at Tulane. You know, there's some
really good coaches. None of them are going to leave
the jobs they're at right now. They're all going to
wait until their season is over. So unless you were
going to go hire somebody off the market, a guy
(23:49):
like a jimbo Fisher or an Urban Meyer, you know
Nick Saban, if he decided to come out of retirement,
it doesn't make any sense to do with this early.
So I look at it and I scratch my head
and say, what is the purpose of this when you're
firing coaches before the month of October. It's kind of insanity.
But it's a copycat league, you know, kind of like
every league. They see other schools do it, and they're like, oh,
(24:09):
we better do it to get in the front of
the line for the interviews. But I don't think that
really matters that much.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
It doesn't.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
All it does.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
All it actually does is it allows those players to
either get in the portal or if they haven't played
that they haven't played that the extra game, they can
wade shirt that season and save it and not play
for you completely legally, right.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And in fact,
I mean Arkansas they did wait for the fifth game, right,
so that kind of screwed over the players that could
have red shirted or potentially you know, got out of
the portal early. That is part of the underbelly of
the system that you know very well, that is just
a little bit shady when there's oftentimes they're looking out
for the best interes of you know, the program only
(24:51):
and not really looking out for the best interest of
the players.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Football is better when everybody all the schools in Florida
are really good. The Central Florida is obviously better now
with Scott Frost. Miami is back, Florida State appears to
be close to back right, not quite there. As you
point out in lines, what about Florida can can Billy Napier?
Will he get to hang on?
Speaker 6 (25:15):
I doubt it. It kind of follows the trend too.
I mean, their boosters, their fan base, they're circling like
sharks in the water. And I fear that if they
get beat by Texas this weekend, and really if it's sideways,
but even if they only lose by a field goal
and there's some you know, a lot of penalties or
sort of some sort of you know, coaching blunders that
are in there, I wonder if he survives the weekend.
(25:35):
But the crazy thing is, like we saw this story
unfold last year, like they were left for dead. They
had got blown out at home by Texas, A and
m and Miami, and then the team kind of figures
it out. They play hard, and they win their last
four games of the season and win their bowl game,
and there's all this optimism around the program. It's been
a little bit of disaster because they lose to USF, Like,
that's the one that's inexcusable. Their quarterback those five interceptions
(25:58):
at LSU, Like, how is that on billion napier? You know,
you could say it's on quarterback development, which I understand,
And then they lose it in Miami in the game
that was competitive for a half, but then it's just like, man,
they look like they're so far behind. But I do
think this weekend is one. I think this is the
last stand. Like, I feel like this weekend they will
get their best effort from the Florida Gators. They're playing
(26:20):
against arch Manning, Texas is coming to town. It's a
huge brand. I think the swamp will be loud. And actually,
what I worry about in this situation is a fan
being their worst enemy. Like if they go three and
out two series in a row, they're going to be
doing and like what good does that do for the
team off the field.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah don't I don't know, Right, makes them feel bad
about themselves, which the kids need confidence, Like it doesn't make.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Any sense, and I hate that for him. So but
I actually do think the Gators will get their best
effort this week and I'm very curious to see what
arch Manning does, because he hasn't been great. You know,
it was last time we saw him on the road
was that the Horseshoe and he was a little bit skittish.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
You know.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
He had the one game against Sam Houston where it
was a much inferior opponent. I'm very, very curious to
see against a defense that is pretty good still in
the Florida Gators.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Stell Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio, Danny Canell
is our guest. Former starter at Florida State Coorse started
in nash Football League. Check got bet online dot ag
for updated college football, Playoff, Heisman and College College Week
six lines. What do you think is shad Or Sanders?
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
And not refuse miming. I guess he mined. I guess
we're saying he mined his answers when asked about Dylan
Gabriel getting the start for the Browns.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
I mean, I thought it was idiotic. I just like,
what are you doing? First of all, the third string
quarterback should never be speaking to the media. And trust me,
this is somebody who was a third string quarterback. Like
your job is to lay low, your job is to
just kind of do the work. Especially as a rookie,
Like even if you're a backup as a rookie, I was,
I was always kind of hiding from the media, Like
(27:57):
what was my position on the team to be speaking
to the media about anything, Like you're sort of one
of the lower places on the roster. I mean half
the time, you're not even active for the game. And
by the way, like I saw some people saying, well,
Cleveland shouldn't have made him available. You can hide, you
know this, Doug, Like when the media availability is there,
you can go watch film, you can go in the
training room, like, you can leave unless they request to
(28:18):
bring you out, and then in that circumstance you could
still say no. But I do think Shudora loves the
spotlight and he loves talking. And not only was it
idiotic and kind of stupid to do, but what about
the fact you're on a team that's one in three,
it's been an awful season, and you're kind of joking around,
like making light of this whole situation. I'd be really
curious to know what Kevin Stefanski thinks off the record.
(28:39):
I bet he's not super enthused.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
About it, Danny, you know what he thinks? Yeah, there's
no there's no question anybody who and listen, I'm telling
you this as a coach, but as also a human being,
and we both played college sports, we about to know.
There's no question he thinks he's a jackass. There's just
no question. I'm nice and he actually he actually really
(29:06):
helped Kevin Stefanski with that because there's pressure to play him,
he's quite obviously not ready. And I think the big
thing is they like Dylan Gabriel because Dylan Gabriel do
exactly what they tell him to do. Right, That's like
we just just a to B B two C, really
simple whatever. But because of how immature it looked. And
(29:27):
I even think Dion's telling people admitting that he told
the Ravens not to draft him because he didn't want
to be a backup. I think all of those things
it helps Stefanski where he can just coach and evaluate
Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
I hope. So I do have a feeling. I mean,
the team has been struggling. I do wonder how like
they're not going to bench Dylan Gabriel if he throws
two picks, but I do wonder if they lose another
two or three games, in a row. If Kevin Stefanski
is just like, you know what, let's roll him out
there and let everybody see and let him kind of
expose himself and then on the flip side of Schandor
makes the most of it. I mean, can you imagine
in Asia it's going to be there will be off
(30:02):
the charts. I just don't think he's ready to play either.
I just thought it was a bad look all around.
But I will say, like the Chador backers, they're not
seeing any of it. They love it. They're like, good
for Shador. But those people aren't realistic. They don't know
how sports work or an NFL locker room works. Like
to Fancy, I do agree with you. I do wonder
what the locker room thinks, because most time they do
(30:23):
treat rookies all the same. It doesn't matter if you're
a first round pick, third round pick, or a fifth
round pick. They kind of expect you to shut up
and go about your work. And Shaduur has been doing
anything but that, And that is probably the most important thing.
What are the players, because they talk to other players
around the league, and if you get a bad reputation
as a bad teammate, and the guy who's kind of
a distraction among the players that can be more devastating
(30:45):
than what the coaches think.

Any what you got, Doug? The game today is.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I feel a draft?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
All right, drafting as it is October? Second best things
about October. Best things about October by the way top
of the third inning, the Tigers and Guardians still scoreless
in Cleveland. Doug, you have the first pick. I will
pick second, Sam third, then Jason as the two swing picks.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Best thing about October, yes, purely, sports are all all.
I think the weather.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
M h.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
I think the weather. You know, you get like right
again right now the Midwest is really warm, really nice,
and then by the end of the month you'll get
real fall, foliage, leaves, apples, apple cider, Halloween. Yeah, I
think the weather. Weather's the best part.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Anybody want to trade for number two?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I think Doug just was like three things that we
could possibly have chosen with the weather.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
The weather just curious. Anybody anybody want to trade? All right? Trade?
Oh jeez, you're trading up from eight that's that's wait
wait wait wait, how does that work? It's pretty happy again.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
He asked, if anybody want to trade.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I don't have to accept his trade. So how does
he just get to jump like that? Well, I guess we.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Didn't anybody want to trade. And I said I want
to trade, and he had not said yes yet. Sam,
you know how trades work. I guess.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Okay, it doesn't seem fair.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
All right, Baseball October baseball is the best.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
It's just.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
And listen, I'll give credit. There's there's parts of.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Oh, I didn't even agree to the trade. Yeah, I
didn't agree.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
To the yes.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
When he said yes, I thought, okay, no.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
No, I didn't. I was telling Sam that because Sam yelled,
hold on a second, and I said, I didn't agree
to Doug's trade. Doug doesn't have anything for me to offer,
so that's why. Yeah, So no, I'm not gonna I'm
not gonna do the trade. I'm going to say conference
games in college football conference conference games in college football,
conference play gets into the swing. It really feels like
(34:02):
the season starts with good conference playing college football. Okay,
all right, Sam, your number three?
Speaker 7 (34:09):
All right, Jason's not gonna like this, but I'm gonna
take October birthday, which I will be turning nine on
October nineteenth. Uh and so that is October birthday and
mix it with all that other stuff, the weather and football.
My goodness, it's a pleasant time. The youngest guy on
the show by a mile mumbles his age. Yea, do
you think I'm happy about my last year in my thirties.
(34:31):
I mean, if you could go back and you just
feel what I like? Trade, I do not want to
trade back in trade?
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Do you want to trade?
Speaker 7 (34:39):
Do I get your do we get to switch switch
like lives, like I see your life through my eyes? Nope,
I don't get your jobs or your house or anything.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Then I'm good.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
No trade, Yep.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
I'm just gonna go Dodgers. I'm gonna go specific Dodgers.
There they become synonymous with October. I don't need to
lay out the stats always playing love the Dodgers in October.
And then I could go with my birthday, which is
the sixteenth, but I'm not. I'm gonna go with pumpkin
spiced anything, whether it be candle, a latte. Just get
(35:13):
me pumpkin spice of anything, and I'm in. I'm raising
my hand.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
All right, Okay, you got together. You're two. Now stand
back to you.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
Okay, so we did Jason as two picks. Okay, get
both picks, man, Okay, I'll just go something a little
more specific. How about I don't know if you already
took this, but leaves changing colors? Is that okay to
take that? Has that ey been drafted?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Yes, it's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 7 (35:40):
I mean you see the leaves change colors out here,
kind of more in December when it rains. Actually, some
of the sweet gum trees will change colors. But you
guys think it's October.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
It's October October on all of the classic rock stations. Yeah,
coming up next, we got some dock in Van Halen.
But first, a C d C kills her mind? Heard
of docking and rock?
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Every sounds house the same.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
We're around a high way, the hell with the Nostra.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I love it though.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
If you like a C d C, then all their
sound songs sound good. If you don't care for them,
you say they all sound the same.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Oh, yes, final Halloween, Halloween.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I love Halloween. I love Halloween. Blatant rip off of porum,
But that's okay, of what.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I couldn't stand Halloween, couldn't and then it just as
a kid now, like all all up until the last
couple of years because my son loves it, so I
am warming up to it.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah, Oh it's the I mean, you know, when they're young,
it's like, oh my god, look at all that candy.
But then you realize, like there's just a limit how
much candy they can eat. It's one night sugar rush,
they pass out. You throw it all the candy.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Truss because we've had ghosts and cobwebs around our house
for the last three weeks. So, yes, he loves it.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
It's the opposite of anything. Child. But I would say
that the cool thing about Halloween now is that women
are empowered to dress slutty and put it on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yes, I like that part too. My daughters, My daughters,
my daughters. We could skip that part. Coming up on

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
