Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's talk some football right now. We're getting closer and closer.
Had the Hall of Fame game last week. Obviously that
was huge getting you ready for Hall of Fame weekend
for the NFL. Now we've got about fifty days even
less before some of these schedules open up in the NFL,
even quicker turnaround for college.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Football, so let's talk about countdown to kick off.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Tarik Hills deal is probably the biggest news in the
NFL right now. I mean the Miami Dolphins, like you're
saying before the break, they're just kind of finagling the
deal around so they can make room for more deals
and possibly help their team here in the three weeks
we have for the preseason. Now he's won, they want
to keep, but Tarik wants to join his former team,
the Kansas City Chiefs in some multi titles for this team,
(00:45):
and to do that, you know, some extra money could
go a long way. So his what one twenty original
deal has been shifted and more so backloaded where it
makes it more team friendly for the next two years
for the Miami Dolphin and maybe, just maybe they spend
it in their offensive line, which could need some beefing
(01:06):
up or possibly more defense, which their defense should be
a lot better this year though.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So out of the one twenty, they restructured ninety million
of it, bringing his guaranteed total up to one of
the highest of any wide receivers. So the next three years,
sixty five million of the ninety will be guaranteed. And
like we've talked about this before, what they do is
instead of paying you in a salary, they'll give you
in a bonus.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
So here's a bonus check.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You know what, Hey, we owe you this money in
two years, We're going to give you a twenty million
of it and check. That's not part of the salary cap.
This is what I don't understand. You know, you gave
the guy one twenty. It should be one twenty. It
should count against you whether or not you're doing it.
But this is something Tom Brady did like four different
times with a lot of different teams. I get Pat
Patrick Mahomes has already redone his deal. I know Travis
(01:54):
Kelcey has redone his deal. So if you want to win,
you have to restructure and within the rules of salary
cap and the restructuring of contracts and stuff. So I
give Tyreek Hill a lot of credit. He wants to win.
He's doing it badly enough to say, take some of
my money. Show hey, o Tani it to me, you know,
(02:15):
after football or on the back end of my contract.
But let's try to win in the next couple of
years while we're all young.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So right now, there's two real seasons in the NFL.
It's not preseason just yet. It is blotder season and
it is injury season. Blotder report oh Man mister Addison
of the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver a dui in the NFL,
it's hard to get since you can call any time,
anywhere and get a free ride for you being drunk,
(02:44):
so you don't have stupid.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So at this point twenty twenty four, if you've been drinking,
I don't care. If you're two blocks from your house,
you could call get it uber, But they're gonna bring
a limo for you. Yeah, they're gonna make sure you
don't become part of police block.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And these guys refuse to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
And now it's just that because there's a lull in
any kind of news other than a salary restructure or
the God forbid the stinking injuries which are painful to
read off. The guy gets a DUI and now you're
going back and forth with California on this stupid thing.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, Jordan Addison pulled over in West Los Angeles. He'll
have to go back there October seventh, waiting on the suspension.
He could face the suspension. We should face the suspension
from the NFL.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Like, man, this is.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
New York just suspended justin Timberlake's license, Like, why are
you even driving, dude?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
You need to drive somewhere. That's just insane to me.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Point on the injury season front, Cam Sample goes down
with a torn achilles defensive end for the Cincinnati Bengals.
This is definitely going to put a wrench in their
plans for the season. Man, the Bengals always deal with
one in a reg preseason out for the season, and not.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
New in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Cam Sample hope he gets back on the field in
twenty twenty five because he's gonna be out the rest
of the year. Poka Nakua had a knee injury. Just
to twist is what the report is.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
He's week to week.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Pukah should be ready to go start Week one. I
know I'm saying this for fantasy football players should be
ready to start Week one. Huge part of this offense.
They're gonna be be this knee thing all the way
until Week one. My bet is he will be playing
Week one, and my bet is he will be a
significant fantasy get if you draft.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I like this breaking news Adam Schefter talking about the
Houston Texans. UH will play their starters against the Pittsburgh
Steelers coming up this Friday in an exhibition game.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
C J.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Stroud will be thrown to Stefan Diggs as they acquired
Digs from the Buffalo Bills. If you don't, if you
were living under a rock and you didn't know that.
So they're trying to get themselves geled together and they
want to play in an actual football game. They're gonna
play Friday night against the Steelers. The Thursday of this week,
we have pre in football. New York Giants will be
(05:02):
on the field this week.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
A bunch of other games too, So these ones are
big for building your roster. We'll see who makes the team,
who gets kicked off the team, who gets traded to
another team.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
We shall see.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I'm a big fan of preseason, especially when the starters
get in every once in a while that would be nice,
but we shall see what we get here.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Week one coming up.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Now in the summer, we typically have some Randoh top
five lists, and we're ready to do that. Today things
got kind of mixed around with Don moving to four o'clock.
We're moving this to the three o'clock in our football segment.
Today's top five, though, is a bottom five. We asked
our friend Kurt Kaplan to come up with the worst
questions he has heard going into halftime or perhaps a
(05:46):
postgame presser when the reporter is forced to ask some
stupid question.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
We wanted to know the Kurts.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Bottom five in the NFL. Kurt, do we have any
imaging around this? Or do you need me to go
with it?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Bottom five? The worst? That's proper imaging right there.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Number five, worst question to be asked by a reporter
going into halftime?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
What do you got what.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Needs to change in the second half?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Coach? The worst? I love it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I love it because there is a moment of silence
where the coach has to like, think, you really just
asked me?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Okay, captain obvious, if you just watched the first thirty minutes,
how about the score? The score our effort. Everything we
did in the first thirty minutes needs a change.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
My favorite answer is, if we can only score more
points than the other team, we're going to win this
ball game.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I love that answer.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
How about number four, we're saying to ask the coach
coming into halftime from a reporter or Kurt's bottom four?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
What is there actually out of half time? What did
you say to your team in the locker room?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I like this, boy.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I am guilty of this one all the time, especially
earlier in my career. Always the thing, and then I
failed to realize, like after the fifth time asking, They're
never gonna.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Tell me, not what they really said. None of your
damn business speech. Shop, That's what I told them. I'm
not telling you a damn thing about what I just
why would I tell you weren't in there.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I'm gonna tell you. I've heard that, told them to
try and Antonio Brown would tape it.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
But other than that, I heard the I've given them
the Nunya address.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
No, it'sn't Nunya Nunya business. Number three.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Worst thing to ask a coach going into halftime we're
coming out.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Was this what you were expecting?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
That's usually like a major blowout, so let's throw the
other team under the bus or you're getting majorly blown out,
and it's like, Wow, you did a really bad job
coaching this week, didn't Yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Weren't expecting this. I agree.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
We got to save these for our sideline reporter Adam
Jardino before he goes out to More is great at
these though, like you know, Adam. For Adam's defense, Adam
is just like everyone else in this This is a
horrible job. This is one of the worst things to
ask somebody to do in the world of sports broadcasting.
And Adam in the second quarters of some games has
(08:35):
looked at me and I talked to me through the wires, like,
what the hell am I.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Going to ac right?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Well, I mean, I think Paul Maurice of the Florida
Pants should do a symposium on this and is a
clinic because he's the best. You could ask him any
ridiculous questions and he'll have a smile and he'll give
you a great answer, I mean, well thought out answer.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
More is really good at like smoothing it over even
if it's a bad one, Like he'll try to correct
you on maybe the things that you're missing and then
like make you feel so stupid for asking that.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I'm not saying Adam, I'm saying other people no, because listen,
they know you have a job to do.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
But also at the same time, I'm not gonna give
you if they're a smart head coach, not gonna give
you somebody. No, I'm not gonna give you something that
you could throw out there and make me look bod
It's even Listen, I can bring Aaron Boone the other day,
he has to bench Labor Torres for him not running
out a ball to hit the fence right.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
But then after he.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Goes on there and he goes on for a blathers
on forever trying to defend this guy. No, this guy
did something really stupid. I had to bench him. That's it,
and it's all I need to say.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
But he's gotta be better for those like Aaron Boone's
got thirty minutes, forty minutes, he got two hours if
he wants for these, you don't want to win thirty seconds, right,
And I've got to get back to my team, man,
I ain't got time to What was the third question, Kurt?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Was I expecting it to go so wrong?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Like, I am totally phone focused in the next kickoff,
the next play to either not lose this big lead
or get back into this game, Like I really want
to spontificate on why this happened.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
My favorite was the.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Back and forth always between Popovich and Sager.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yes, that was That's where all this started. That's where
all this started.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
How about number.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Two worst thing to ask a coach going into halftime?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
What are you feeling after this win? How about what
are you feeling after this loss? How about that one?
Either way? I mean the number one you never talked
to the coach after you.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Lose it relieve that I'll get to keep my job
another week, I guess, I.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Mean, what am I feeling after this win?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Usually and this is more as like first words and
I've heard hardball do it too?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Feels great?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Next question, how about the number one thing you do
not ask a coach going into half time? Worst generic
question in the book, according to Kurt Number one, are you.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Happy with your team's performance? You don't like that one.
I don't like that one.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That one's good for any situation.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I'll give you one that I like.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
And it was asked to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach
Jim McKay was asked about his team's execution and he said.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
He was for it. You're right, that was fantastic. What
was number one?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Again?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
What was your number one?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Are you happy with your team's performance?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
With your team's performance, yes, that is.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Because I've I'm losing efforts as well.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
But that you can ask the guy at the popcorn stand,
are you happy with.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Your team's performance? He can give you a John McKay.
Jim McKay was the announcer from ABC, John McKay. Think
not to correct you, but it was John McKay.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I wanted to give.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Him because that dude always had the lead on you anyway.
He didn't like anything or anybody. Always wore those dark
glasses so you couldn't use that.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
And they were the Yucks, the Yukaneers, I mean, and
they were terrible in.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Those dream Sickle ice cream uniforms. They didn't look like pirates.
He was new ones to do, but those did not.
He did not want to answer any question. And look
at this, the many mackayisms Creamsickle week. That's this is
the headline that I'm reading on YouTube. They were awful uniforms.
But there I like them. It's like the Astros and
(12:29):
their rainbow uniforms. Those are hideous. I love those to
the point where you were like, Okay, I could see this.
This is not a bad uniform.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
He was once quoted to saying, well, we weren't blocking
very well, but we tried to make up for that
by not tackling.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I'm going to track these.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I'm going to try and attract these during the season
the way that was one of the worst questions.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah, are you for.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
The team's execution?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yes? What do you think your team's execution? Them all
for it?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I think that was the year that went over right.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I don't know, had to have been. How do have been?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I'm gonna start saving these, Kurt, see if Adam throws
any of them out.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Are you happy with your team's performance?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I think is one of his faves that he keeps
in his back pocket. But I'm gonna start tracking these
and just seeing where we are with Adam and with everyone.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Because we'll just have dings. I mean, like we'll tell
them that's going on.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
But every college football game is broadcast now has this
every college football game broadcast as far as television and radio,
like we're doing it on radio. So imagine that across
the country, one hundred and thirty three programs plus D twos.
Then think of just the amount of NFL games that
we've got, like preseason. We're gonna be having this every week,
(13:37):
and it's gonna be so pointless. Like everybody knows how
pointless this is, and no one knows more than the
two people are actually conducting this, the coach and the interviewer.
And I'm gonna start tracking them see if we can
get Should I track the bad ones to keep up
with that? Or should I track ones that actually have.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Some good meaning to them?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You gotta track the good ones. Okay, ma, good ones
I get. Here's a good im a kay quote? He said,
we can't win at home, we can't win on the road.
He said, we need. What we need is to play
at a neutral site. Oh, it's a fair it's a
reasonable request. No, But I mean we're going through that
with the White Sox. Can you imagine being the coaching
staff every day?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Can you imagine that fifth inning interview with the White
Sox coach Tonight.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Coach, We're gonna put the head set on you in
the fifth inning, Coach he's surprised by this twenty game
losing streak.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
What do you think of your team's effort in the
last twenty games? Is another one, Kirk, give me another one.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Let's do let's go to the battles.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, you have the list.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
What needs a change in the second half?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
A change probably entire pitching staff. Gosh, who is this
guy again?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I don't even know because he was on a rant
and raven start, like he was getting fights with all
the umpires. And I think that was when they were
like six games under five hundred, like four and ten.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Pedro, griff Off Fall, Griffall, Pedro the guy they're going
to fire before next season. Pedro is gonna take the
Griffall for everybod Pedro will take the Griffall for all
of this.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yes, and good luck to him tonight though, Man, I'm
rooting for the White Sox.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Now Forbes says the White Socks aren't doom for long.
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Because they're going to sell the team, missus Forbes.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
So they're selling the team and those people are going
to make a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You know, he's been the best through this has been
People may miss it, but I watch it because you know,
you get a lot of these live feeds.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Now, Ozzie Gian has just been ripping them. He's been fantastic.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
We brought him up on Friday watching a lot of
Ozzie video.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
And dude, he's been fantastic.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Starting to think that's the answer, Starting to think that's
the answer in the South Side, that would be a
whole new ballgame on.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
The South Side.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
The difference is.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I respect Ozzi, have played with him. I know what
he's all about. These these new newbies, they don't care.
They don't care. He'd he'd be screaming at deaf ears.
They're not listening to that. They're like, okay, what everybody?
I mean, I'm a minimum seven hundred fifty thousand. I
don't care what you say.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You know, it'd be great for us though, Oh it
would be fantastic.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Like I said, like when I tune in after another loss,
I don't care what they did on the field. I
just want to listen to how Ozzi sees what they
did on the field, and.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
He just rips guys for just ridiculous stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Imagine asking Ozzie any one of those five.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Questions what they should do is have Ozzie miked up
during the game. Just watching the game, it would be
worth it, probably get better ratings deeper though.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
You need somebody to beat them, like really quick on
the trigger, and you need like seven of them.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
All right, let's take quick break, will come back through
the first Nibs question of the day.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Don't forget, we got Don Morey coming up.
Let's talk some football right now. We're getting closer and closer.
Had the Hall of Fame game last week. Obviously that
was huge getting you ready for Hall of Fame weekend
for the NFL. Now we've got about fifty days even
less before some of these schedules open up in the NFL,
even quicker turnaround for college.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Football, so let's talk about countdown to kick off.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Tarik Hills deal is probably the biggest news in the
NFL right now. I mean the Miami Dolphins, like you're
saying before the break, they're just kind of finagling the
deal around so they can make room for more deals
and possibly help their team here in the three weeks
we have for the preseason. Now he's won, they want
to keep, but Tarik wants to join his former team,
the Kansas City Chiefs in some multi titles for this team,
(00:45):
and to do that, you know, some extra money could
go a long way. So his what one twenty original
deal has been shifted and more so backloaded where it
makes it more team friendly for the next two years
for the Miami Dolphin and maybe, just maybe they spend
it in their offensive line, which could need some beefing
(01:06):

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So out of the one twenty, they restructured ninety million
of it, bringing his guaranteed total up to one of
the highest of any wide receivers. So the next three years,
sixty five million of the ninety will be guaranteed. And
like we've talked about this before, what they do is
instead of paying you in a salary, they'll give you
in a bonus.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
So here's a bonus check.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You know what, Hey, we owe you this money in
two years, We're going to give you a twenty million
of it and check. That's not part of the salary cap.
This is what I don't understand. You know, you gave
the guy one twenty. It should be one twenty. It
should count against you whether or not you're doing it.
But this is something Tom Brady did like four different
times with a lot of different teams. I get Pat
Patrick Mahomes has already redone his deal. I know Travis
(01:54):
Kelcey has redone his deal. So if you want to win,
you have to restructure and within the rules of salary
cap and the restructuring of contracts and stuff. So I
give Tyreek Hill a lot of credit. He wants to win.
He's doing it badly enough to say, take some of
my money. Show hey, o Tani it to me, you know,
(02:15):
after football or on the back end of my contract.
But let's try to win in the next couple of
years while we're all young.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So right now, there's two real seasons in the NFL.
It's not preseason just yet. It is blotder season and
it is injury season. Blotder report oh Man mister Addison
of the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver a dui in the NFL,
it's hard to get since you can call any time,
anywhere and get a free ride for you being drunk,
(02:44):
so you don't have stupid.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So at this point twenty twenty four, if you've been drinking,
I don't care. If you're two blocks from your house,
you could call get it uber, But they're gonna bring
a limo for you. Yeah, they're gonna make sure you
don't become part of police block.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And these guys refuse to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
And now it's just that because there's a lull in
any kind of news other than a salary restructure or
the God forbid the stinking injuries which are painful to
read off. The guy gets a DUI and now you're
going back and forth with California on this stupid thing.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, Jordan Addison pulled over in West Los Angeles. He'll
have to go back there October seventh, waiting on the suspension.
He could face the suspension. We should face the suspension
from the NFL.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Like, man, this is.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
New York just suspended justin Timberlake's license, Like, why are
you even driving, dude?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
You need to drive somewhere. That's just insane to me.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Point on the injury season front, Cam Sample goes down
with a torn achilles defensive end for the Cincinnati Bengals.
This is definitely going to put a wrench in their
plans for the season. Man, the Bengals always deal with
one in a reg preseason out for the season, and not.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
New in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Cam Sample hope he gets back on the field in
twenty twenty five because he's gonna be out the rest
of the year. Poka Nakua had a knee injury. Just
to twist is what the report is.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
He's week to week.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Pukah should be ready to go start Week one. I
know I'm saying this for fantasy football players should be
ready to start Week one. Huge part of this offense.
They're gonna be be this knee thing all the way
until Week one. My bet is he will be playing
Week one, and my bet is he will be a
significant fantasy get if you draft.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I like this breaking news Adam Schefter talking about the
Houston Texans. UH will play their starters against the Pittsburgh
Steelers coming up this Friday in an exhibition game.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
C J.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Stroud will be thrown to Stefan Diggs as they acquired
Digs from the Buffalo Bills. If you don't, if you
were living under a rock and you didn't know that.
So they're trying to get themselves geled together and they
want to play in an actual football game. They're gonna
play Friday night against the Steelers. The Thursday of this week,
we have pre in football. New York Giants will be
(05:02):
on the field this week.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
A bunch of other games too, So these ones are
big for building your roster. We'll see who makes the team,
who gets kicked off the team, who gets traded to
another team.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
We shall see.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I'm a big fan of preseason, especially when the starters
get in every once in a while that would be nice,
but we shall see what we get here.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Week one coming up.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Now in the summer, we typically have some Randoh top
five lists, and we're ready to do that. Today things
got kind of mixed around with Don moving to four o'clock.
We're moving this to the three o'clock in our football segment.
Today's top five, though, is a bottom five. We asked
our friend Kurt Kaplan to come up with the worst
questions he has heard going into halftime or perhaps a
(05:46):
postgame presser when the reporter is forced to ask some
stupid question.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
We wanted to know the Kurts.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Bottom five in the NFL. Kurt, do we have any
imaging around this? Or do you need me to go
with it?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Bottom five? The worst? That's proper imaging right there.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Number five, worst question to be asked by a reporter
going into halftime?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
What do you got what.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Needs to change in the second half?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Coach? The worst? I love it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I love it because there is a moment of silence
where the coach has to like, think, you really just
asked me?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Okay, captain obvious, if you just watched the first thirty minutes,
how about the score? The score our effort. Everything we
did in the first thirty minutes needs a change.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
My favorite answer is, if we can only score more
points than the other team, we're going to win this
ball game.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I love that answer.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
How about number four, we're saying to ask the coach
coming into halftime from a reporter or Kurt's bottom four?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
What is there actually out of half time? What did
you say to your team in the locker room?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I like this, boy.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I am guilty of this one all the time, especially
earlier in my career. Always the thing, and then I
failed to realize, like after the fifth time asking, They're
never gonna.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Tell me, not what they really said. None of your
damn business speech. Shop, That's what I told them. I'm
not telling you a damn thing about what I just
why would I tell you weren't in there.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I'm gonna tell you. I've heard that, told them to
try and Antonio Brown would tape it.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
But other than that, I heard the I've given them
the Nunya address.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
No, it'sn't Nunya Nunya business. Number three.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Worst thing to ask a coach going into halftime we're
coming out.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Was this what you were expecting?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
That's usually like a major blowout, so let's throw the
other team under the bus or you're getting majorly blown out,
and it's like, Wow, you did a really bad job
coaching this week, didn't Yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Weren't expecting this. I agree.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
We got to save these for our sideline reporter Adam
Jardino before he goes out to More is great at
these though, like you know, Adam. For Adam's defense, Adam
is just like everyone else in this This is a
horrible job. This is one of the worst things to
ask somebody to do in the world of sports broadcasting.
And Adam in the second quarters of some games has
(08:35):
looked at me and I talked to me through the wires, like,
what the hell am I.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Going to ac right?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Well, I mean, I think Paul Maurice of the Florida
Pants should do a symposium on this and is a
clinic because he's the best. You could ask him any
ridiculous questions and he'll have a smile and he'll give
you a great answer, I mean, well thought out answer.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
More is really good at like smoothing it over even
if it's a bad one, Like he'll try to correct
you on maybe the things that you're missing and then
like make you feel so stupid for asking that.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I'm not saying Adam, I'm saying other people no, because listen,
they know you have a job to do.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
But also at the same time, I'm not gonna give
you if they're a smart head coach, not gonna give
you somebody. No, I'm not gonna give you something that
you could throw out there and make me look bod
It's even Listen, I can bring Aaron Boone the other day,
he has to bench Labor Torres for him not running
out a ball to hit the fence right.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
But then after he.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Goes on there and he goes on for a blathers
on forever trying to defend this guy. No, this guy
did something really stupid. I had to bench him. That's it,
and it's all I need to say.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
But he's gotta be better for those like Aaron Boone's
got thirty minutes, forty minutes, he got two hours if
he wants for these, you don't want to win thirty seconds, right,
And I've got to get back to my team, man,
I ain't got time to What was the third question, Kurt?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Was I expecting it to go so wrong?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Like, I am totally phone focused in the next kickoff,
the next play to either not lose this big lead
or get back into this game, Like I really want
to spontificate on why this happened.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
My favorite was the.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Back and forth always between Popovich and Sager.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yes, that was That's where all this started. That's where
all this started.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
How about number.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Two worst thing to ask a coach going into halftime?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
What are you feeling after this win? How about what
are you feeling after this loss? How about that one?
Either way? I mean the number one you never talked
to the coach after you.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Lose it relieve that I'll get to keep my job
another week, I guess, I.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Mean, what am I feeling after this win?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Usually and this is more as like first words and
I've heard hardball do it too?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Feels great?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Next question, how about the number one thing you do
not ask a coach going into half time? Worst generic
question in the book, according to Kurt Number one, are you.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Happy with your team's performance? You don't like that one.
I don't like that one.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That one's good for any situation.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I'll give you one that I like.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
And it was asked to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach
Jim McKay was asked about his team's execution and he said.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
He was for it. You're right, that was fantastic. What
was number one?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Again?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
What was your number one?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Are you happy with your team's performance?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
With your team's performance, yes, that is.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Because I've I'm losing efforts as well.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
But that you can ask the guy at the popcorn stand,
are you happy with.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Your team's performance? He can give you a John McKay.
Jim McKay was the announcer from ABC, John McKay. Think
not to correct you, but it was John McKay.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I wanted to give.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Him because that dude always had the lead on you anyway.
He didn't like anything or anybody. Always wore those dark
glasses so you couldn't use that.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
And they were the Yucks, the Yukaneers, I mean, and
they were terrible in.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Those dream Sickle ice cream uniforms. They didn't look like pirates.
He was new ones to do, but those did not.
He did not want to answer any question. And look
at this, the many mackayisms Creamsickle week. That's this is
the headline that I'm reading on YouTube. They were awful uniforms.
But there I like them. It's like the Astros and
(12:29):
their rainbow uniforms. Those are hideous. I love those to
the point where you were like, Okay, I could see this.
This is not a bad uniform.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
He was once quoted to saying, well, we weren't blocking
very well, but we tried to make up for that
by not tackling.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I'm going to track these.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I'm going to try and attract these during the season
the way that was one of the worst questions.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah, are you for.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
The team's execution?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yes? What do you think your team's execution? Them all
for it?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I think that was the year that went over right.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I don't know, had to have been. How do have been?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I'm gonna start saving these, Kurt, see if Adam throws
any of them out.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Are you happy with your team's performance?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I think is one of his faves that he keeps
in his back pocket. But I'm gonna start tracking these
and just seeing where we are with Adam and with everyone.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Because we'll just have dings. I mean, like we'll tell
them that's going on.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
But every college football game is broadcast now has this
every college football game broadcast as far as television and radio,
like we're doing it on radio. So imagine that across
the country, one hundred and thirty three programs plus D twos.
Then think of just the amount of NFL games that
we've got, like preseason. We're gonna be having this every week,
(13:37):
and it's gonna be so pointless. Like everybody knows how
pointless this is, and no one knows more than the
two people are actually conducting this, the coach and the interviewer.
And I'm gonna start tracking them see if we can
get Should I track the bad ones to keep up
with that? Or should I track ones that actually have.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Some good meaning to them?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You gotta track the good ones. Okay, ma, good ones
I get. Here's a good im a kay quote? He said,
we can't win at home, we can't win on the road.
He said, we need. What we need is to play
at a neutral site. Oh, it's a fair it's a
reasonable request. No, But I mean we're going through that
with the White Sox. Can you imagine being the coaching
staff every day?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Can you imagine that fifth inning interview with the White
Sox coach Tonight.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Coach, We're gonna put the head set on you in
the fifth inning, Coach he's surprised by this twenty game
losing streak.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
What do you think of your team's effort in the
last twenty games? Is another one, Kirk, give me another one.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Let's do let's go to the battles.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, you have the list.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
What needs a change in the second half?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
A change probably entire pitching staff. Gosh, who is this
guy again?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I don't even know because he was on a rant
and raven start, like he was getting fights with all
the umpires. And I think that was when they were
like six games under five hundred, like four and ten.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Pedro, griff Off Fall, Griffall, Pedro the guy they're going
to fire before next season. Pedro is gonna take the
Griffall for everybod Pedro will take the Griffall for all
of this.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yes, and good luck to him tonight though, Man, I'm
rooting for the White Sox.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Now Forbes says the White Socks aren't doom for long.
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Because they're going to sell the team, missus Forbes.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
So they're selling the team and those people are going
to make a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You know, he's been the best through this has been
People may miss it, but I watch it because you know,
you get a lot of these live feeds.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Now, Ozzie Gian has just been ripping them. He's been fantastic.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
We brought him up on Friday watching a lot of
Ozzie video.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
And dude, he's been fantastic.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Starting to think that's the answer, Starting to think that's
the answer in the South Side, that would be a
whole new ballgame on.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
The South Side.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
The difference is.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I respect Ozzi, have played with him. I know what
he's all about. These these new newbies, they don't care.
They don't care. He'd he'd be screaming at deaf ears.
They're not listening to that. They're like, okay, what everybody?
I mean, I'm a minimum seven hundred fifty thousand. I
don't care what you say.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You know, it'd be great for us though, Oh it
would be fantastic.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Like I said, like when I tune in after another loss,
I don't care what they did on the field. I
just want to listen to how Ozzi sees what they
did on the field, and.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
He just rips guys for just ridiculous stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Imagine asking Ozzie any one of those five.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Questions what they should do is have Ozzie miked up
during the game. Just watching the game, it would be
worth it, probably get better ratings deeper though.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
You need somebody to beat them, like really quick on
the trigger, and you need like seven of them.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
All right, let's take quick break, will come back through
the first Nibs question of the day.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Don't forget, we got Don Morey coming up.
