No fair, no fair, there was a hut. I waited,
I gave you.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
A whole second and I had to jump in boom.

last night in the opening game, Doug was a thirty
point underdog. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yes, it happens, It happens.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Great experience for the kids.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Come on, yes, until you played in Allen Field House.
Now you move on. You got Buffalo coming up on

football because it's tiktokk TikTok. We'll get to TikTok later.
NFL trade deadline today, that's right, five o'clock eastern Isaac
lorn Kron, Can you confirm that five o'clock Eastern time
is the trade deadline.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
According to my sources?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yes, all right, so we are, we are watching. And
I thought going into today's show we would talk about
what happened last night with the Cowboys and specifically against
the Arizona Cardinals. But now we're also talking about what
happened today with the Cowboys. No news yet on the Cardinals.
We'll get to them in just a little bit. But
(01:46):
Jerry Jones willing and dealing like he said he would
it did? I mean?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Is this what all turned into getting rid of Michael Parsons?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It starts all of this, you un I feel that
there's some of the pressure of the noise. Sure, of course,
I'm gonna say it, Manzi, I like, no, I love
what Jerry Jones? Wow, I do I really do this?
This may not seem like a Cowboys sort of thing.
(02:16):
This may feel like it's Jerry falling off of his Rocker,
especially considering everything that he said last night instead leading
up to the trade deadline today. But I like what
the Cowboys are doing right now.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, they're strengthening up their defense.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Uh so, but wait, Dan, like, what did they do
yesterday offensively?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
So you like this?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
They didn't They didn't do much.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
They didn't do.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
One offensive time. So thank you? You like this move
for now?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Like, do you think this is going to propel them
to now win a game?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I understand that last night's game is in your most.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Cowboys, it really is.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I understand that your points were being produced via blocked punt.
That's not a great thing. They were dominated on offense,
and I don't know they're dominated on defense. But I'll
tell you what. I like what Jerry Jones is doing
in response to building the Cowboys for later down the line.
(03:22):
I think you're gonna hear a lot of knee jerk reaction.
And last night in the game against Arizona, where the
Cowboys couldn't get off the field on third down and
couldn't stay on the field, to your point with their offense,
the moves that Jerry Jones at least made here at
the trade deadline, specifically with Quinnon Williams sets them up
(03:42):
for more long term success. I know, edge rushers are
the shiny toy, the guys that get pressure off the
edge and sack the quarterback. And as much as Jerry
Jones has tried to tell everyone, but Micah Parsons against
the run isn't necessarily a strong deal. If you can
get after the quarterback from a defensive line position in
(04:06):
interior spot and get after the quarterback and stop the run,
you are much better equipped on defense. And I think
that that's what Quinn Williams will provide for the Dallas
Cowboys with some of the assets that they got in
dealing Micah Parsons to the Packers and Moncie. They're paying
Quinn Williams over the next couple of years twenty million
(04:28):
dollars less per season than what Micah Parsons is getting
with the Green Bay Packers. And so yeah, I understand
that last night, whether you watch the Cowboys on offense,
you watch them on defense, none of it was good.
The only thing that was good was special teams with
the block punt. But we give Jerry Jones so much
(04:48):
flack then when he actually does something that I think
makes sense because I didn't mind the Micah Parsons deal.
You weren't going to cash in at that point. I
think Jerry Jones is actually doing the how Boys right
by doing this deal, so as crazy as it sounds,
less than twenty four hours after to your point, they
were dominated by the Cardinals. I like the move by
(05:09):
the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
I think I can join you in on saying that
this seems like a really smart move for the future.
It's just that when it comes to the world of Cowboys,
it's like, what have.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
You done for me lately? And what are you gonna
do for me right now?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
And it does look like Jerry Jones is looking for
the future and the bigger picture, which I just feel
like we're not used to that. We're feel like Jerry
Jones doing things for the now right and then maybe
pulling the trigger too soon. This does seem like he's
thinking about the future. But okay, instead of being ranked
thirty defensively, now you're gonna be twenty five. You're gonna
(05:43):
join the Cardinals that are twentieth in total defense.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Like I just.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Starting the season, I thought the Cowboys were like, you know,
you guys can score, and obviously you need a defense.
Just talk to the Bengals, you know, I see, I
can I know that, But the Cowboys are so up
and down, up and down, Yester. I was like, how
you gonna score one offensive touchdown against the Cardinals who
are figuring things out themselves.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
They don't even know what quarterback they're gonna have.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Like, how could you only score one offensive touchdown against
this team?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I don't have an explanation, I don't. I mean, I
could say the Cardinals had a week to prepare. I
couldn't say that, But that's not a good enough excuse.
You're absolutely right. Kalais Campbell is sixty two years old
and he was getting after Dak Prescott last night. I
don't I don't know how he got his wheelchair around
some of the offensive line. He was able to do it.
(06:35):
And sorry, Kalais Campbell, he was awesome last night, Josh,
what was awesome? Paying off? Maybe the Cardinals had this turn.
I'll even say this just to move to that, since
I think it's what everybody's talking about. Just the fact
that Jacoby Brissett is having this success as a player
that he is having, I think trickles down everywhere and
(06:57):
not to switch this to the Cardinals, but I think
it's pertinent in this situation Joe Buck and Troy Aikman
and the broadcast last night by saying, we think Jacoby
Brissette will be the starter when Kyler Murray becomes healthy. Now,
Jonathan Gannon's got a different take on the matter, but
they got a division game against the Seahawks coming up
on Sunday. I'm a Seahawks fan. I would rather see
(07:19):
Kyler Murray right now than Jacoby Brisette.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Absolutely, because the offense actually moves with Jacoby Brissett, Yes,
one hundred percent, but.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
You're you're right.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I agree with that that it trinkles down or it's
like it rubs off having Jacoby Brissett and then Marvin
Harrison Junior actually making some catches and getting in the
end zone, which we have seen so little of Marvin
Harrison Junior since he joined the NFL, that all of
a sudden, you have somebody that moves the ball and then, oh,
maybe there is an offense here that we have not noticed.
(07:49):
But the to me, like the Cardinals, I think we
weren't thinking that we're gonna get far even from the
start of the season. You were like, I don't know
what we're gonna get with the Cardinals. I think with
the Cowboys there were actual some sort of expectations, especially
with their divisions so much parity and the Eagles not
looking good and then the Giants being.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
A hot mess. But it's like, no, you're a hot
mess still they are.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I thought that they were the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFC. Well, however,
Cincinnati's offense hasn't hasn't stopped, by the way, I'm on
record for saying that months ago. I know it's been
popped up lately. Now that's a disservice to Cincinnati because
they aren't stopping. With Joe Flacko absolutely Now, last night
the Cowboys offense stalled.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
And the trickling effect you're talking about, you could see
it with the Bengals on the opposite side, where Jamar
Chase after this past Sunday looked frustrated, Chase Brown annoyed
because of their defense. So the same way it's trickling
positively with Arizona and Jacoby Brissett, you can see it
how it trickles negatively with the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I find I think that there's something to be learned
in all of this, and I don't know. I don't
want to bring up I hate comparing the NFL to
the real world, but I do think that relationships and
dynamics play a part in it your performance. And I'm
not talking about you Monty or Isaac or Jason. I'm
just in general, your performance can be affected by the
(09:09):
presence of someone else. And I feel that that is
the case with the Arizona Cardinals and specifically with Marvin
Harrison Junior. And you can say Marvin Harrison Junior then
is weak mentally. He's got to be be tougher, He's
got to be stronger. However, remember the game against the
(09:29):
forty nine ers earlier in the season when Harrison just
dropped that wide open pass and then there was another
shot to the end zone that he wasn't catching and
you would expect the top end wide receiver to make
that catch. And then another time in another game, he
runs a slant route, loses control of it and then
it ends up being an interception that all looks like
(09:50):
it's on Marvin Harrison Junior, and ultimately is He's paid
to catch the football. But Marvin Harrison Junior the stats
last night, to me, were crazy that targets that he
got in the first quarter were the most targets that
he's ever gotten in a quarter in his career that's
lasted a year and a half. Yeah, these six targets
he got in the first half the most ever. These
(10:11):
seven receptions that he had in the game a career high.
And then when you see how he played with confidence.
We even saw in the touchdown route and Ceedee Lamb
is watching from the sidelines on how how Marvin Harrison
cooked Aron Bland. By the way, not a great job
by me defending my Jerry Jones take by seeing Deron
Bland get cooked by Marvin Harrison junior. But Kyler Murray
(10:34):
I think had this effect throughout the team and it
really got to Marvin Harrison. With Jacoby Brissette on the field,
Marvin Harrison is not in his head right now, and
so I think that trig goes down, and I think
that trick goes down to the defense as well. I
don't know how the Cardinals can go back to Kyler Murray.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
To be honest with you, I don't either, And I
know it's a short sample size, but with all of
those times that you think about Marvin Harrison Junior struggling,
It's like, yeah, the struggles happened because there was no
concientit since coming from his quarterback.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
So how can you get better if there is no consistency?
Speaker 6 (11:04):
You know?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
And then you see.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Other players where the consistency is there because they know
they can trust each other. And it was just like
the distress was there, back and forth? How you know
what I'm saying? And so it was crazy when they
said that like career high seven receptions at the half
or whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I was like, how how is that possible?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
You just saw Joe Flacco give Jamar Chase the ball
one hundred and seventeen times and he did not care.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
He literally was like, where's Joe? Where is Jamar? He's
getting the ball. Everybody knew he was getting.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
The ball, and Joe Flacker was like, yep, I'm gonna
keep giving him the ball. How do you not keep
feeding your best offensive player and untap the potential that
everybody expected for Marvin Harrison Junior to have. So it's like,
I don't know how you put Kyler Murray back out there.
I really don't unless you're trying to prove that he's
really not the answer. Yeah, unless you put him back
(11:55):
out there on purpose.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
To sabotage, you're on the sea.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
See what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
We can't play him. Yeah, and I I think it's
easier to do what they're doing. Now. Hey, we went
to Indianapolis. We were unstoppable on offense. We almost beat
one of the best teams in the NFL, if not
the best team right now in the Colts. With Jacoby
Brissett as our quarterback. Look at what we did to
Dallas in front of everybody's eyes last night. Amari de
(12:24):
Marcado sliding down, staying in bounds completely wipes out the
fumble at the goal line. You want to talk about
a change it right? It completely does. You want to
know why, because he learned, he yearned, he understood, head
in the range, keep your head in the game. That
is a trickle down effect that starts with Jacoby Brissett,
(12:48):
Jonathan Gannon yelling you know, great job, Amari. He used
a different word, two different words. It started with an
F N A Y but no, and it was yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yes, you're right, you're so right.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yes that changes. That's all with Jacoby Brissett. The Cowboys
can only hope to have that sort of momentum.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
The momentum I mean was there. Like you said, they're
special teams, there was.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
There was moments of momentum, especially you have a great kicker.
The moments of momentum were there. But man, did they
look bad.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I know Jerry Jones is the topic that is happening
right now, and he's always the topic. But if they
start Jacoby Brissett and continue from this like that, to me,
is is this that bucket? Aikman are like, yeah, Jacoby
Brissett should start.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's a pretty strong statement to say when you're in
a spot when you kind of have to be neutral
to everything because you're calling it to have that sort
of voice. I love what Jerry jad. I know you're
not happy with what the Cowboys you know, are doing
for right now.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I'm just like, is this going to give you the push?
Because what I saw yesterday you need a lot of pushes.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It won't in twenty twenty five, but it will in
twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven. Where I think
is really where the Cowboys will try to make.

So I'm Dan Byer in for Doug today, Trade deadline
Day in the NFL, joining us to talk about that
and so much more. NFL Insider, former scout host of
the Three and Out podcast, John Middlecoff joins the program. John,
(14:32):
how are you?
Speaker 7 (14:33):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Guys?
Speaker 7 (14:34):
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
We're doing great. Thank you for joining us. Let's get
into it.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
One of the teams that has surprised a lot of
people this season has been the Colts, and they just
got a massive boost to their secondary acquiring Sauce Gardner.
What do you make of that trade? What do you
make of what the Colts have done so far this season?
Speaker 7 (14:51):
Yeah, I mean, obviously they've had a, you know, a
tremendous bounce back from the last couple of years with
Daniel Jones. I mean, at first blush it, it's pretty crazy, right,
two first round picks for a guy that and a
wide receiver you just wrapped in the second round a
couple of years ago. That's extremely You know, has a
lot of talent who's cheap. Now granted, you know, they
(15:13):
don't necessarily need them because their passing game is so
potent and now having Tyler Warren. But when I see
two first round picks, I mean, you gotta get Jalen
Ramsey because we have seen these moves, you know, with
Jamal Adams, when you don't get a high enough caliber
a player, and it's just it's a disaster now, you know.
I obviously they're gonna win probably somewhere between twelve and
(15:36):
fourteen games this season, so they're going to be in position.
But when you make a move like this one, Thoughts
Gardner has been close to a Pro Bowl level guy
the last couple of years, and it's not like it's
one of those things really at the coaching the scheme. Oh,
it's like he just hasn't been that good of a player.
So he's very specific in the sense of he makes
a lot of money. Now, you know, for the next
(15:56):
several years, the culture gonna be paying him. You know,
between I think like twenty four to twenty seven million
dollars a year. They won't have these first round pick.
He's got to be better than he's been and to
me to make this worth it that they got to
be at least in the AFC Championship Game. Now I
get Ballard because he's been in the jobs. It's twenty seventeen.
He really has nothing to show for it. What's the
(16:19):
worst thing that could happen. He's going to get fired.
He's probably like, well, I was going to get fired
before this year even started, anyway, before Daniel Jones came around.
But I would say, shouldn't that kind of change the outlooks,
you know, for you and the head coach? But clearly
which in one instance I guess you can respect. They're
just all their chips are in the middle of the table.
The question is is this guy good enough player to
(16:39):
trade that much for?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
The Jets have been busy today because they also send
Quinn Williams to the Cowboys for a second round pick
in twenty twenty six in a first round pick in
twenty twenty seven. Monty and I have different opinions on
if this works are not for Dallas, How do you
think this move works for Jerry Jones and the Cowboys?
Speaker 7 (16:56):
Boy? I guess course looking at it once you see
the way they rutgured the they only give up a
second round pick this year. You know, it's not getting
Quinn Williams for the next half of the season, like
they're not a Super Bowl contender, but he's under contract,
he's gonna be on the team for the next couple
of years. And you go, well, what if we can
nail a couple of defensive players in the draft and
all of a sudden our defense is dramatically better in
(17:18):
the year. So, I mean, Jerry's in his mid eighty
s Dacks under contract for sixty million dollars, Ceedee Lambs
under contract, Like they're kind of been win now mode,
and the Micah Parsons thing opened up more money. You know,
if they if they so choose to, they can resign
George Pickens. It gives them some optionality to try to
be better in you know, in twenty six. Because the
(17:39):
thing is they're probably not gonna lose enough games. It's
not like they're gonna be drafting three, right, their pick
probably ends up somewhere between ten and fifteen, right if
they end up winning six or seven games, So the
likelihood that they're going to get a player with that
pick as good as Quinn Williams it's probably putting the nuns.
But if they can get a guy to compliments them,
(18:00):
or a couple guys, then you already have a piece
there who I think he would say it's under contract,
who's cheaper. I don't hate the move for Jerry because
Quinn Williams is a high end player at a premium position,
but it's you know, I mean, you only got so
much draft capital.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Were you surprised of the fire sale for the Jets,
because this is just admitting that they're, you know, cleaning
house and they kind of want to.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Start over for rebuild. But were you surprised about the
fire sale?
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Uh? No, not really. I mean that they really stink.
I mean they're going nowhere and going nowhere fast. I
mean they've been losing games with all these guys, right,
So it's one thing if you have a fire sales like, well,
we've just we've won twenty games the last couple of years.
I mean, this team is dunk for a long time.
So it's like, Okay, you're trading Sauce Gardner for two ones.
You've been getting smoked with Sauce Gardner, right. Quinn Williams
(18:53):
has been going to Pro Bowls and it doesn't matter.
So this isn't like they just traded their starting core.
They don't have one, and the more options you have,
the more ability you have to get one. So I
commend them for just ripping the band aid off and
nuke in the thing. And let's face it, they got
three first round picks and the second round pick and
(19:15):
a Donnie Mitchell who was just drafted in the second
round a year ago, So I would say getting rid
of a bunch of guys. Now, granted they you know,
Quentin Williams was what the third pick. TODs Gardner was
the third or fourth pick. They used high resources on
those guys, but they flipped them both for a lot,
so it's they bought high, but their guys didn't lose
(19:35):
much value over time despite all the losings. So I
guess they have that to hang their hat on.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
They need to move the draft back to New York
so all the Jets fans can boo every single one
of those picks, no matter who it's going to be.
John Middlecoff joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. She's
Monte Blano. So I'm Dan Byer in for Doug Gottlieb.
I'm a Seahawks fan, I'm biased. I love the Rashid
Shaheed move with Seattle coming from New Orleans. Where do
you stand on the Seahawks adding a new weapon of
(20:01):
Sam Donald's arsenal.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Yeah, I mean he's He's obviously had quarterback carousel in
New Orleans, but he is an explosive player. I mean
he can fly. I actually have his his stat page up.
I mean, he's seventeen yards of catch, seventeen yards of catch.
This year's not as good, but I mean, look who's
playing quarterback. So I think you put him with Donald
and Jackson Smith, who looks like Jerry Rice right now,
(20:24):
and you kind of get the speed demon on the outside,
that rookie Horden the running game. Yeah, I mean I
think this is this is a sound move, right that
they keep their valuable picks first, second, third, but you
give up a fourth and a fifth I think is
what I saw for him.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
So now, granted, I'm pretty sure he's going to be
he is. He under contract next year, so you know,
I think you have to think, you know, if this
goes well, do you extend them? But yeah, I like
the player a lot, and I think from a ski
schematic standpoint. You know, the forty nine ers are kind
of held together right now with Duck tape Yea with
all their injury. I know they're six and three, but
(21:02):
it's going to be a challenge for them just to
get to you know, ten wins would be a miracle.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
And and just your point, Seattle in the Rams, so
I think you're just kind of trying to you know,
it's gonna come down between those two teams who are
much healthier, and I think they like their chances of
taking advantage of the RAMS secondary.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
And to your point, Rishi Jiheed will be a free
agent after the season, but Seattle has shown that sometimes
when they acquire guys, they will bring them in so
they can sign them to those deals. Yeah, so it's
something that John Schneider ends up doing a little more
often than others.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Last one from me, John, What about the Eagles?
Speaker 4 (21:34):
They also made some moves to boost their defense, their secondary.
What do you make of acquiring not just Jalen Phillips,
but although he's hurt a lot, JayR Alexander, Well, I
think what.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
They did is last year they or last week they
acquired multiple corners and they just go like let them
battling out to is a better guy. I mean they
you know how he operates a little bit, and this
is to hit his advantage like a GM in baseball.
You know, he just constantly turning the roster. When they
have weaknesses, he'll double down and get aggressive. You know,
the Jalen Phillips trade makes some sense because Fangios coached them.
(22:10):
Means a talented ed rusher or something they need because
thinking you know, Quinn Williams was a D n not
a D tackle, I would imagine the Eagles would have
been all over them. Right, Joe Douglass now works for
the Eagles, but like they already have D tackles, like
they already have their version of Quinn Winnams, so they
don't need them. So they just took the best available
outside rusher because I mean, as if we're talking back
(22:34):
to Crosby and Miles Garrett haven't been traded though. I mean,
if I were to those teams, I probably would unload
one of those guys for sure.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Well, I'll tell you the Eagles. I think the Eagles
need to Brandon Graham more than Brandon Graham wanted to unretire.
But it tells you on what they what they need
to do to get after the quarterback that they went
that far. Last one for you, if you're Jonathan Gannon,
who do you start at quarterback Week ten against the Seahawks.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
On Sunday, Jacobe Wessett.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Without it, I think we're all in agreement. There would
there be any reason on why he would go back
to Kyler Murray.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Owner money. I mean, the organization has been cheap, so
when they do fork out a lot of money, the
owner and that mindset of that family is like, we're
paying this guy X number of dollars. You know what
is Jacoby one year a couple of million dollar contract?
Kyler's mecking forty five to fifty million dollars. So, I mean,
I think we'd be naive to think that doesn't happen
(23:29):
in sports, because it happens in life and business all
the time. So if it does go back, I do
think it's fair to say it was probably out of
the coaching staff's hands because in what world, based on
the last several games watching Jacoby slinging around and Marvin
Harrison look like his dad, would you turn back to
the other guy who you know they use the what
(23:50):
fourth pick on Marvin Harrison, him and Kyler have no rapport.
Jakobe comes in and he immediately looks really good.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
We were so shocked over the stat that it was
the first time in his career he had three targets
in the first quarter. How in the world does that happen?
But it happened in Arizona. That's where you live now, right,
John Middlecoff, it is yes, yes, so you get a
first hand look. John, can't wait to talk to you
next week. Have a good one, man NFL Scout, host
of the Three and OL podcast, John Middlecoff joining us
(24:20):
here on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio.
She's Monzi Blaios. I'm Dan Byer. Jason Stewart did not
get a chance to see the Cowboys Cardinals game last night.
There's a reason why. But first Isaac Low and Krown
giving us the latest of what's happening on this trade
deadline day, which I said it was five Eastern earlier,
and Manzi's like, it's for eastern, Dan, it is for
(24:42):
Eastern right, right, Isaac.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
You bent the laws of time and space. Well, I
only could do the same thing though for daylight savings
time in the spring so we don't lose that hour
of sleep.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
That's who I did it for, the people who didn't
change their clocks. That's why I'm like, you know what, Yeah, yes,
it's for them.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
It's for them.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yes, thanks Sam, Sorry, Iowa, Sam's here.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Baseball News San Diego Padres starter you. Darvish announced on
social media a short time ago that he had surgery
last week to repair his owner collateral ligament and will
miss the twenty twenty sixth season. And finally, we have
a Major League Baseball World Championship celebration update. Today, Los
(25:28):
Angeles Dodger Keike Hernandez instagrammed a picture of himself posing
next to an unidentified male who had a Dodger's World
Championship trophy tattoo. And the reason we're relaying this to
you is the tattoo was on the unnamed gentleman's bear
left buttock. No word yet on the identity of the
(25:51):
gentleman guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
For sure.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
I may have come across it. I may have come
across it also, so wondered who's but talk that was?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, let me search search Dodger butts.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Milkie butts.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, very well done. Very well done. Be sure to
check out the brand new YouTube channel for the show.
Just searched Doug gottlep Show on YouTube again. That's Doug
Gottleb Show. I hope they didn't get the snot bubble
that came from my nose when Isaac was playing the
sound effects. Be sure to hit the subscribe button and
don't stop there. Hit that thumbs up icon of comment away.

Check out our brand new YouTube channel on YouTube again.
Just searched Doug gottleb Show and subscribe. Jason, what were
the highlights last night that you thought from the Cowboys
Cardinals game? What did you see from that Cowboys offense
that has you concerned if you're a football fan.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
So here's the problem. I was one of the tens
and tens of millions of people who just learned at
four o'clock yesterday that PN plus is complete dog crap.
I know, I know you guys knew this, Yeah, but
I think me and a lot of people just assumed,
because we feel entitled, that we're going to get our
(27:11):
free Monday night football somehow. That's what most people assume.
You know, they have this little dispute between corporations here,
But it's not going to impact my life because ESPN Plus, right,
that's why we spent the money for working around. Yeah,
and I found out that I'm not going to get
my Monday night football, and then I had to look
for other options because I'm a YouTube TV subscriber. There's
(27:33):
a Sling TV thing and and I just went without.
I just went without. So I can't even tell you
what the what the highlight is the physical highlight. I
had to follow along on my phone app and see
all my fantasy players.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
It was.
Speaker 9 (27:46):
It was pretty devastated. And then you saw all of
the social media reaction with people in my shoes getting
pissed off.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
I'm surprised you, Jason didn't go to like a bar
or a place to watch it.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I'm surprised you didn't do that. It was an option, yeah,
you know what I mean, because you you Yes.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I invited him over.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
He said no, Well, maybe that's more about you than
anything else.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
What I was just gonna say, with all the Monday
Night games this year, maybe that one was one was
the one to sit out.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I'm just saying I think that's a decent point, and
I think that also in a way it helps ESPN.
But in a way it doesn't help ESPN. I I
think Jason's point, because Jason has bombarded us about this
is not only is it because it affects him. Last year,
I was affected by the direct TV, So you were
(28:36):
so to your point you didn't care Jason's sitting there,
you know, footloose and fancy free. Last year when Week
two comes along and the Falcons are playing the Titans
or whatever crappy Monday night game they had, then it
was different for us in trying to figure out a
way that how are we going to watch that game?
But your point is is direct TV cable are are
(29:01):
the old way of watching TV? Are you really ready
to mess with the new brand of watching? That's your point?
And you're not saying it's a big deal because it's
personally happening to you. You think it's the technology of
it and the first step of it. Is that fair
to say?
Speaker 9 (29:16):
I think Disney is a content generator. Disney produces content,
and content needs platforms. Content needs distribution. I think Google
is going to offer that tenfold over the next ten
to twenty years. I just think it's bad business to
screw up a relationship with Google. They are the future.
(29:37):
Nobody's said last night, I need to go back to cable,
and if they did, that was disingenuous. I don't think
people are going backwards.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I don't know if that's entirely true, because I watch
my cable channels on the DirecTV streaming app.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
I don't have like cable, but I have DirecTV. I
stream it.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
That's how I am able to watch you know whatever,
T and D ESPN and all of that. And to me,
it's kind of like, ESPN is like, what, why would
we give.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
You a deal?
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Everybody else has agreed that the dispute with the DirecTV
only lasted so long, so why do we give into Google.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
If i'm ESPN, I'm like, okay, go ahead, bye, you
don't it's fine. See how it works without you having
our content.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Because as much as people want to say that Disney
and ESPN are going down, I don't think that's true.
Disney prices continue to skyrocket, and let me tell you what,
They're still sold out for season tickets or annual passes.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, it's the bigger. It's the bigger picture because I
even said that, Jason, And what about ABC, right, you know,
but it's all, it's all of that, It's all. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Also, get an antenna. People just get an antenna.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
You still do that?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Yes, my parents, My parents have an antenna.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Uh and sometimes it's better than the real the other
one that the like for local channels, it's better.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah. It was on UHF fourteen last night. I think
the game was. I knew Isaac would laugh. I was
the only one that I knew I would get a
chuckle out of that. Google, What what are the five
trillion dollars or whatever?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I just I don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I think like that. The portion of that is, there's
the principle of it. If you give ESPN the deal,
then you're giving everybody a deal. And while you could
probably make up for it anyway because of your value
of your company, you're just not going to do it
on principle. So who should you really really be mad at?
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Google?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Google? Manti says Google, you say.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
You're pissed off at Disney, and.
Speaker 9 (31:35):
I'm pissed off the NFL because I think they could
have used their power to force one of them to
put it on their streaming. So if you put it
on the piece of crap ESPN plus, I think Disney
would have gained a lot of favor last night. But
they just there was just nothing, and I didn't have any.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
The NFL is that big. I mean, honestly, of the
Titans that we are talking about here, you think that
they would have enough power to sway it for a
DAK prescott against Jacoby Brissett.
Speaker 9 (32:05):
I do so.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I don't not even just power, why get involved?
Speaker 4 (32:09):
You just like if you do that this time, you
better do it the next time you have an issue
like this. Yeah, that's it, Like it's a door you
don't want to open.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
And I may sound ridiculous when we look at the
TV ratings and we see, you know, NFL, NFL, NFL, NFL,
but just again, we're talking about five trillion dollars you know,
whatever Google's worth this iowa Sam quickly. I know.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
Listen, both companies YouTube TV owned by Google, Disney properties.
They're both very wealthy, and the consumer just loses out
in all of this. And when they're trying to be like, hey,
come sign this petition, come look at what we were
so aggrieved, and it's like, stop it. You're both just
trying to make more money. Just figure it out and leave.
Just just let us know when it's back.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I'll tell you what. I'm actually glad it happened because
there's so much peacocking over. I got YouTube TV, quad box,
Doug sending us pictures off the screen. Look at this,
I got this game. Jason does it as well. It's like, okay,
I got my one screen of direct TV. Half the
time Peppa pigs on, you know, like all right, that's
the way it is. But finally you guys got put
(33:11):
in your place for once. I think that's my biggest takeaway.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Hey, go take it.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Take it. YouTube TV a win for the old school.
We're kicking it old school here on the Doug Gottlieb
Show on Fox Sports Radio, John tweets in I cut
the court over ten years ago, and XIM has replaced
cable television for him. He rarely gets shot out of
sporting events because of broadcast disputes. Huh interesting, All right, Yeah,
(33:36):
that's one way of doing it. Hey, if you want
to hit Manzi up, hit her up at Manti Belanders
can find me at Dan Byer on Fox Jason Stewart's
at Jason Stewart.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. She's Monty Bolano, So
I'm Dan buyer in for Doug today, sitting in on
a Tuesday. Doug's Green Bay Phoenix lost their opener last
night to Kansas, one of the better teams of the country,
possibly the potential first overall pick in the NBA Draft
come next summer. Those things happened. Dougie and Crue gonna
(34:13):
get back at it Friday against Buffalo. Speaking of games, Mancy,
let's play one with Isaac Lowenkron.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
This is game time on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Hello Isaac, Hello Dan and Monsey gets your ranking shoes on.
Rank them first item. I want you to rank the
top three most reliable Wi Fi providers. Mancy, you want
to want to get us started or is it too soon?
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Let's start with AT and TA.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Rank them third. Because I'm.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I walked into the other room and Jason and Sam
were still talking about talking about it.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
That's the one way to get our kids to behave
is to threaten to shut off the Wi Fi. That
is the last resort that we have in our pocket.
All right, I want you guys to rank the top
three teams right now in the National Football League.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
How could you even rank teams? I feel like everyone
nobody stands out. Nobody stands out.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
I've got you've got.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
A couple, I have one. I'm comfortable with three, but
I don't know if I have a top one. Give
me your list and let me see how I feel
about your list.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Numero through this Los Angeles Rams, I knew.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
You were gonna say that. I knew you were going
to say that. I just felt it because I think
that I'm not very high on the Rams, but people
are higher on the Rams.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Los Angeles Rams, they get a chance to get some
revenge against the forty nine ers this weekend on the
road in San Francisco. We'll see if they do that.
Number two the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Okay, yeah, when.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
You turn the ball over six times, I know that's
hardly your fault, but that's a lot. If they would
have turned it over three times, you would have said, oh,
that's why they lost in Pittsburgh. Then it's six times cold.
Still number two though, despite that turnover fest and number three.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
My Seahawks, Your Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Sorry, Buccaneers, sorry Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
That's Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers are my number three.
If I were to rank right now and what I've seen,
I would put in Tampa Bay.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
And at number three.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
They did beat the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
I would put surprisingly, the Seahawks could come in at
number three, number four, but I would put still Kansas
City in at number two. I know, I know they've lost,
but if you look at the small margin of points
that they have lost all those games, games.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
By I think they're there. They just are, like you.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Know, I think it's a great point because they wouldn't
even make the playoffs if they started today. Awful choice
play Manzi, there is no way the Chiefs are the
second best right now before they go off over.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Here, I like the Colts still, I'm with you. I
think it's yeah, I think my Colts are the number one.
If I had to pick a team right.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Now, my Colts.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Yeah, well they're not.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Sorry that came out wrong. They're not my Colts, I think,
but I did. I was high on the Colts to
start the season. I did think that they would actually
be pretty good. So I like the cold still, and
I think it's more of an anomaly of what happened
to Daniel Jones this past week. And I'm not hitting
the panic button because of his history.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
If the Chiefs were oh to nine and we did
a top five, it would sound like, well, I got
the Chiefs five. I know they're oh and nine. They
haven't won any games yet, but I've got the Chiefs five.
Patrick Mahomes and crew. Rishi Rice's back. Give me the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
All of their losses are combined for nineteen points.
Speaker 8 (37:44):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
On the heel, guys, real fast.
Speaker 9 (37:48):
You got somebody on the phone. Somebody just called it
the Bills.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Just called the Bills. Bills.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
They could be a top five.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
Sure, there's another team on hold of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
They could be a top seven.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
They're gonna hold for a while. We're gonna be on
hold for a while. We're to hold on for one
more day. That's how long it's gonna be before we
get to the Eagles. And these rankings, Yeah, this is
the only ranking we're gonna do. For game time.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
But hang yeah, hang on. I'm also getting a caller
ID from the three oh three area code Denver, Colorado.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
So real, and there my super Bowl pick. I picked
him to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah No.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Bo Nix has been underwhelming for the most part. I
can't believe in them, and.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
That has been a highly controversial edition. I've rank them.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
Game This is game time on the Dug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Monci also has the Chief's top five in our NBA rankings.
That's next.
