Welcome to the show. How was that, Scott? How's that introduction?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Probably that was probably the best you've given me without
calling me a four letter word. I'm exac highly impressed.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Are you?

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Are you? You're trying to butter me up, so I'd
take it easy on you. When we finally locked up
on a course.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
No, we're gonna lock up in Miami on the seventeenth
the next month. Don't worry about it. Everyone will know
it will be publicized.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
I'm not scared it. Scott, period coming for you. That's
all I can say. Now, Scott, let me tell you what, boy, yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Was just busy. I don't know why. I was just busy.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
I just seemed like the day just blew by and
I fell asleep and I think I was in a
deep sleep. Scot, I was gone going so anyway, I
had to fight with the pillow this morning. I'm like,
what's the problem? Put my finger into my nose, said yeah,
I'm breathing in. I said, that's a good that's a
good place to start. Put my feet on the floor.
I said, okay, now moved. I fell back in the

(01:46):
be it boom. I was like, yeah, like, what's the problem. Yeah,
I'm telling this guy. I was crying like a little baby.
What is the problem. Anyway, We're just busy, It's Simmons.
A lot of things are going on. So just keept
me and being really busy yesterday. But think of this, Scott,
this is what we have. This will cheer you up

(02:09):
before we get into everything. There's less than one hundred
days from something, Scott.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Do you know what that is. It's less than a
hundred days from something. Do you know what that is?

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I'll say less than a hundred might be Christmas.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Exactly, homeboy overin that hundred token, that's all I can say.
We'll be singing Christmas jingles here soon. Okay, wait, Scott,
I early.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Do you put your Christmas stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Up as early as my wife will let me. That's
all Scott is early, it is. My wife will let
me wait before Thanksgiving. I try to get it up Halloween.
She said, that's just ridiculous. I'm like, okay, okay, I
calm down, Scott. As a little kid, Chris is in birthdays.

(03:01):
That's the only time we got anything. I'd even go
to Kroger's and ask for a stick of bubble gum.
I knew better. Don't even look right or left. My
parents had me trained. As you're checking out, Scott, they
put all the candy bars, all the chewing gum right
there on the right left side. I was trained, don't
even look right or left, don't even glance right or left.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
So that's why birthdays at Christmas, that's all there's to it.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Don't even glance at the candy, don't even think about it,
don't even dream about it, Scott, it was crazy.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
So anyway, we're less than one hundred days from Christmas.
That is a good deal. Now here's what we've got, Scott.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
We've got some really good high school games, really good,
so I don't want to neglect my high school sports.
We've got Trinity at Mail. So here's the deal, Scott, Trinity,
and I've got a ton of listeners. Coach Klein, their
basketball coach, does a great job. Excuse me, san Y
Xavier's coach client Trinity. They do a great job. But

(04:04):
they're the dark sides guy. I was injured when I
played Trinity at Ballad High School. There was a gentleman
at the golf outing on Monday that was at the
game that when I was injured, talking to me about it.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
I said, I know you were one of those guys,
laughing as I was.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Rolling on the floor. That's why Trinity is the dark
side guy. They ran up under me. So it's just
personal Skuy. I told him that I can't help him,
but they play male so that they took me out. Legitimately,
I've missed about oh six weeks, got but a dislocated elbow. Yeah,
seriously took me out. No plaything. So the most I've

(04:41):
ever missed in a season was my sophomore year. Now
that was first Seas Guy. Then after that Scuy Mail,
which there are arch rival there in our region with Ballad,
so I can't like Mail either. Daryl Griffiths went there
and since beating them, there's just been a little thing
ma bulldogs, ballot bruins.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
It's just the thing, Scott. It is what it is.
Can't go away, Scott.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
If you came to Louisville, and this is the truth
for all Louisville natives, we know this is true. If
you say you're from Louisville, you're not the first thing
you're gonna ask you what high schoot you go to, Scott, Scott, not.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Where you lived?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Got me what high schood you go to? Because Scott,
that's how we used to do it. And I'm glad
now that bussing is over, Scott, that we'll get back
to that, to where forty years from now people will
ask you're from Yeah, the first thing, where'd you go
to high school?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Scott?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
It was?

Speaker 2 (05:36):
It meant something.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
The fer and Creek people, they were called the Creaker.
Scott got me ballaty place Fern Creek. They were called
the Creekers. My cousin went to Fern Creek. Okay, the Bruins.
Of course, we're the pig farm where where everybody had
a nickname Eastern.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
We just all used to beat up on Eastern. Scott.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
They had no chance other than Felton Spencer, they had
no chance. So but everyone had something then Sant Xavier, Trinity, Scott,
they were the dark side. They have ruled the roost
in football. Okay, Scott. They do a little recruiting, Scottie.
That's just all there is to it.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
They do a little recruiting. Scotti.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Always have.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
I'm talking about since my brother lost to Trinity and
the state championship in sixty eight. Scott, I mean, this
has been going on a long time. Had a player
on that Trinity team named Alan Hennessy. Scott White kid
went to Georgia Tech. Kid play Scott fast at play
carry my brother at Seneca. What a great game. Trinity

(06:32):
beat them. But it was a great game, Scotty. And
this is how far the game's evolved. Trinity in that
game passed the ball three times. Scott Carrie intercept two
of the three.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Wow, Trinity still beat them.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
They ran over them. They had the big Hogs up front,
Scott oh Man. So we've got a lot of good
high school games. Let to make sure we get out
support them. My Simmons Scott's high School game Day. We're
doing it again this week. It's going to be Fern
Creek at Ballard. The game was supposed to have been
at Fern Creek. I was wishing it would be at
Fern Creek, Scott, because.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
I want to go out there. Haven't been out there
in a long time.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
That's where Scott, Jeff lamb Lee Raker, Jerry Eves up
ended one of the greatest teams ever, the number one
team in the country with Daryl Griffith, Bobby Turner, Kevin
Anderson Mack. I mean, Scott, they were the number one
team in the country. They had gone to Texas, beat everyone,
California beat everyone, New York beat everyone, and we beat

(07:31):
them at Fern Creek. And I haven't truly been out there,
Scott in a long time, so I was wanting to
go out there. But of course they're still getting their
field together. So I believe the games at Ballard's where
we'll have our Sivens Collegehigh School Game Day. But we've
got great games. We've got Oh no, Scott, Scott, when

(07:52):
I'm telling you, couldn't have got an ant, not a ant.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Into that building. No, it was Scott.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
High school sports used to be crazy, and I mean
it's got to think of this now. No bragging, but
just being truthful with you. You have five pro players
on a high school floored one time.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
That's all there's say.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
In the city, Scott, they could go to any school
they wanted to at the time, so Bobby and Darryl
went together. You could picked your schools if you lived
in the city, in the county, Scott, you had to
go to your school in your district.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Okay, so bad had Jeff Wi, Lee.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Raker, Jerry Eves. We all lived within probably two miles
of each other. That's where it was in the old day, Scott,
the Senator, Thomas Jefferson Quadron. I say it all the time,
but I want people to understand if you would have
just been honest, if we could go back and pull
all the names of the Division one basketball players, not
just Georgia un Selle going to Kansas, Will Chamberlain took

(08:52):
his spot, or Western Still.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Going to Louisville.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
We know about Western, got me or Mike Red going
to Kentake Westland? Are the Northington boys going to Purdue
in Western? All the Scott, if we just took that
area a Ron Thomas from Thomas Uson going to Louisville. Scott,
I'm telling you there was a time this city, I
tell him all the time had dinosaurs. But we had

(09:15):
five pro players on one time, five Scottie five, and
four of the five saw each other in pro uniforms.
Lee rak Early played one game and Bobby Turner flunks
out of Louisood' senior year. He was our second leading
scorer of the year we won at nineteen eighty.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Great player.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
If he plays the senior year, Scott, he gets drafted higher,
he plays in the league, just like Rudy Micklin from Chinese,
Jaro Griffiths from Mayo, Jerry's Jeff Lamb from ballor I mean, Scotty,
you were talking about just the city alone had six
or seven pros playing in high school at the same
time period.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
So that's how crazy it used to be.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
So yep, so Fern Creek great tradition, Great coach Stan
Harden is deceased. Great coach at fern Creek High Scho School.
I knew him well also Fardale multiple state champions.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
So I can't wait to get to see this game.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Even though it should be at fern Creek, it's not,
but it's still fern Creek's home game. I'm gonna make
sure that I presented that way because fern Creek's got
a great heritage. So anyway, Scott, that's.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
What we've got going on on the high school side.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
KCD at Hopkins Odham County at South Odham Scott, that
is Oklahoma, Texas. I'm not kidding you. It will be
super packed. That's Oklahoma Texas. So we got a lot
of great games going on. Manual at Cooper so Scott sixteen.
We're gonna get the break when we come back and
through it to you a little national news. Of course,

(10:42):
we've got our contest. Yes, the people that called me
have been sending in their scores, so I will give
you all Charlie score that he sent me last night
and a few others so that you'll know, Yes, the
contest is getting interested in Scott, So Illinois, Indiana at
me Bowlden, Green Louisville, Florida, Miami and Auburn, Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
We'll be back after the break.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Welcome back to Eastports Radio seven. We're a third way through, Scott.
I'm gonna throw it to you. Let's get some national news.
What's going on with that Major League baseball?

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Well?

Speaker 3 (11:22):
I might be the next one to keep a certain
team out of my mouth, because now, yeah, I'm talking
about a certain certain team in your area. They lost
last night.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
So yeah, now shut out?

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah, I might.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
I might be that the reds out of your mouth.
Keep the Reds out of your mouth. That's all I
canna say, Scott, you come on talking about it. He
may have free zero shut out against the Cardinals, and
I mean compounding that.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Look who wins the Mets win. I can't believe the
Padres road over like that? God Lee. Mmm. So now
we're three and three and a half out Diamondbacks.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Three three out, just three?

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Okayd eleven games to go.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
You gotta get hot. You gotta win nine out of eleven.
Friends have to win nine out of eleven. They've got
to get hot, Scott, period. Yeah, they have to get hot.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
So again they they've they've got the talent for sure, together.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yes, so keep them out of your mouth. What else
is going on?

Speaker 3 (12:35):
What show that show Hay is. Yeah, we talk about him,
you know, when we talk baseball, you almost have to
talk about Showy. You know, he was a you do,
first player and MLB history to record fifty home runs
in the season and throw fifty strikeouts as a picture

(12:59):
never did That's what.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
You're telling me, Baby Ruth, never did that bab root pitch.
So he never did that guy. You told me that.
That's what you're telling me. That's what I'm saying. I mean,
I just don't know about the street well enough. That's
the only guy you can compare show.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yeah, now he is the only one. And you know
in this era where pictures just don't hit anymore because
they have the d H rule now, so you know,
for him to do both and it's so it's so
where I was watching some of the game last night

(13:38):
and he's on the pitch and mound and he's got
dirt on his pants from sliding into into a base
as like, you just don't see that from a picture.
You know, pictures are clean.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
What it says to me, is this right. What it
says to me, is this guy when you're growing up,
if you were a pitcher. You pitched, you hit, you played.
But as we have done this with sports, you did
everything with all sports.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
We started to always circle the wagons point guard, two guard, center,
small forward. We started circling the wagons.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Scott right quarterback only can't play quarterback and cornerback, or
Travis Hunter can't play wide receiver and quarterback, which was.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
A bad call, bingals.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
I'm so sad about Joe Burrow's MIAMVP from last year,
but I mean they were lucky last week on that call.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
But we started circling the wagons.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
We the United States trying to just always pigeonhole players
and here comes show hey from across the water saying hey,
I play everything and showing the world you can play everything.
This guy that should have been one of our players.
I think America needs to relook what we're doing with sports.
Oh there is to it. Don't forget greatest athletes, Bo Jackson, Scott,

(15:00):
Dean Sanders, bo Jackson, bo Jackson, Scott. People don't want
to admit that Bo Jackson. Man, come on, man, run
over you baseball player. Come on, Scott.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
So Shaw is just a phenomenon that.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
There should be a lot more of if the opportunities
were given. And now you're saying that they showed him
hitting his home run, Scott, ESPN just had a.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Picture of him. So I just hope that we learned we.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
As the United States of America and let everybody play
sports and play as many positions as they can and
be as good as they can be, and let them
grow and see what happens instead of saying you can only.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Be a picture, you can only be a hitter.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
I mean, come on, Scott, we've got designated for someone
who plays baseball.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Why do they have a doing hope that everybody should
be able to hit a bad You play baseball, you
should be able to hit the ball.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Yeah, it was just got It was something years ago.
You know, it was only in the American League where
the American League only had the DH and the National
League the pitchers had to hit right. And as soon
as they started doing the inner league games where you
would have you know, the Yankees and Mets playing, or

(16:16):
you know the Cincinnati Reds and Kansas City World's playing
where you know, you're you're now combining American League, National League.
It became a you know a crutch for those American
League teams because the pitchers never hit. When you go
you play at a home a home game against Cincinnati

(16:38):
and you're an American League team, Now those pitchers have
to try and hit, and it definitely became unfair. There
was a huge disadvantage. So they just completely made it.
And that was only when they first started doing that.
That was only like a one time a year situation
to where you would get the Yankees and the Mets
playing each other one time a year. Now they've completely

(17:03):
integrated both leagues, the American League, National League, and so
you have to take the DH out.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yes, I would just be the reason why. Yes, league wise,
I'm just talking about player development. They shouldn't have had
to do it.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Yes, And I don't know like why that that was
such a thing. Maybe just to save the pitchers because
pitchers just don't get the same reps hitting wise and
playing every day. I guess that's why they would. They
would have the d H if you if you think
about it, the pitcher would only pitch every fifth day,

(17:45):
so they're not in the field every day. They're not
seeing live pitching every day like the traditional field position players.
So that would probably be a good reason why they
had the DH Probably have to ask my dad about
that one because he's a here you guys, but you know.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Show in the world that's not true. Show has already
shown that's not true. You do both, hopefully very highly.
Hopefully you have got all season. He had fifty strikeouts
in half the season.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Think of that. So come on crazy.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
So hopefully parents and these so called trainers will we'll
see that you can do multiple things because now you
have Travis Hunner on the football side. Mm hm, so
you got a two way player football that you got
to show. Hey, baseball, Hopefully we start to see more
of that going on, like you were saying.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yes, I hope. So, so it's got where already is
seven eight?

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Everybody, I know you're trying to wait the contest games,
the game that counts.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
We all know it's.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Oklahoma over and at Oklahoma Florida and Miami Bowling Green Louisville, Illinois.
I you are the four games. We're at seven twenty eight, Scott,
and we're gonna have to talk about Joe Burrows my
last year, Joe, Josh Lamar are all chasing Patrick Mahomes

(19:13):
three times Super Bowl chair. But we've got some interesting
information that I want people to listen to when we're
going through this quarterback position, especially when we roll in
and throw a little arch manning and what's going on
with him. I'm glad yesterday I pumped the brakes. We
weren't able to get to it. I got to rethink

(19:34):
my stand Scott. And we're gonna talk a little bit
after the break. So I think people really need to
be keen and listening to when people are trying to
predict the quarterback position at a very high level.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
It's really hard to do, really hard to do.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
So we're going to talk about it more after the break.
This is East Worths Radio. It's seven twenty nine on
numbers five zero two, five nine. We'll talk to you
all in a minute. Welcome back to E Sports Radio.
September seventeenth, twenty twenty five. It's time to get moving.
That's how there's too If you have to be there
at eight, you're late. Put it that way.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Seven point thirty three.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
I hate to tell you, Scott, when I said that,
my wife laughed in the background. She knows I was
talking to her. But anyway, I'm not gonna put that
on the radio, Scott. So we're gonna move on.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Sorry, personal joke, that's off. So Scott, here's the deal.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
You sent me an interesting little clique on injuries last weekend.
But we're gonna talk about Joe Burrows, of course, but
quite a few. I did not know justin Fields, the
Jets concussion. I did not know Daniel's knee sprain. I
did not know that with the Commanders Rock Party, I
didn't know about Rock Party's shoulder, and Tow I knew

(20:58):
about JJ's, but I did not know all these quarterbacks
went down. It is not for long NFL. That's all
it says for not for long. So Scott, think about this.
You wonty try about Joe Burrows, one of the best
spinners of the ball since Damn Marino. You're just talking
about throwing.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
The ball, Scott. The way the ball looks, how it spins.
Damn Marino was really really good. Joe Burrow's really really
good at throwing the ball.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
But listen to what it's starting to add up, and
I'm nervous for him. Twenty seventeen at Ohio State, did
not play there at the transfer. He had hand and
wrist fracture from practice. Twenty twenty towards me at LSU
and twenty twenty towards ACL, PCL and Mediscus.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
With the Bengals.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Scott, we saw young man do that named Nick Simpson,
who lives in Cincinnati the Sun, comes down there.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
And works out with me. Scott.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
We saw that that injury was gruci and Nick just
located his knee, but we've seen gruesome knee injuries. Also
dislocated his finger. This is all with Joe Burrows just
located his finger December of twenty one with the Bengals,
MCL Spring, February of twenty two at the Bengals Calm Spring,
July of twenty three with the Bengals. Now turf toe,

(22:20):
which is gonna coste the entire season September twenty five, Scott, they're.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Starting to add up.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
I don't know how much long Joe plays. It is
what it is, Scott. Once you start to do that,
when he comes back from this turf toe, if he
favors it at all, Scott, that's how you tear up
your knees. So you can't try to come back early
and favor one side. That's how you tear your knees up.
So I'm sure he'll be done for the season. They're saying,
maybe they're making a playoff push, but the Bengals are

(22:50):
going to be smart with that. But Scott, they're just
starting to add up on Joe Burrows.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
That's all there is to it, really, are so how people.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
I don't know where he becomes the veteran back up.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yeah, I mean he can throw the ball, There's no question.
I think he's the best spin spinner of the ball
in the league today. Got great quarterbacks, Mahomes, improvisers Josh
and Lamar used their legs. Josh uses his legs and
his strength. But you're just talking about throw that ball.
He's my number one. Just throw that ball. But the

(23:24):
injuries are starting to pile up. So Bingals, you're Bengals fan,
I know they're off to a two and zero start,
and boom, the last thing you can have happened happened.
So we have to wait and see. But I'm just
kind of nervous about Joe Burrow's career.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
What do you think.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
I'm with you, it's going to be very tough for
him to continue. He just got that injury bug where
if it's not one thing, it's another, and you know,
as you were talking about this, and you know we're
talking about like all the different quarterbacks and how you
know the kind of the unranked guys are. You know,

(24:03):
you think about Tom Brady who went his whole career
and I don't even know if he ever got hurt.
You know, he really got sacked, you know, and I
think he was extremely smart on keeping himself out of
trouble and getting rid of the ball, not holding on
too long going down. And this was I think a

(24:27):
lot of the quarterback injuries this week were everybody trying
to extend the play and you know, they get pushed
out of the pocket. And now you know you have
those quarterbacks who can get out of the pocket and
run a little bit and you know, pick up a
few extra yards, but now they're trying to they're trying
to get those three to four extra when they should just.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Go down right.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
And now you know, you look at you know Jaden Daniel.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
Injured in the pocket, Yes, Jayden, but Joe was in
the pocket when he was injured on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
He was in the pocket.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
But you know that is just tell positions the other
the other quarterback, right, you know, there you you have
to find a way just to avoid it. I don't
want to say get getting hit, but as a quarterback,
get rid of that ball and you know, go down
as quick as you can because you doesn't never know

(25:27):
those those guys aren't They're not trying to intentionally injure
each other. I know that, but just it's hard to
avoid playing football.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yes, contact sports contacts.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
I heard this many years ago. They said basketball is
a contact sport. Football is a collision sport.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, well, so true you say on that one. I agree, yes,
so true, footboy. I mean it's just huge individuals running
super fast, hitting each other. But quarterback position, if you
don't have a good quarterback, you have no chance, Scott.
I mean, that's all there is trip for a Super

(26:13):
Bowl run, and you have to keep your quarterback up right.
And that's the reason why the biggest Lamar fan in
the country right here. But I'm just frightening on the
injury bug because he runs the ball a lot, Scott,
and that's his strength. He's got great legs. Now forty
and four, forty touchdown passes, four interceptions, period, point blank.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
When you can say.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Forty and four, you can throw the ball. But we
know what makes Lamar scary is when when he extends
plays and what he can do, just like Josh Allen,
it makes him scary for defense coordinators for what they
can do on the improv. But you know, injuries come
along with that. So now let's get to this rating
of the quarterbacks, because everybody's an uproar. I build a

(26:58):
arch Manning not playing as well as we expect. Heisman
Trophy candidate. We all thought it would be a runaway
and it's been disappointing. It really has been disappointed. Eleven
for twenty five, one hundred and fourteen yards, one touchdown
against you, Jeff and a twenty seven to ten win,
and he was moood Scott.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
He was literally booed and he put in the article.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
All my life, I've been an accurate passer, but he's not.
Now it's having a hard time. So what do you
think the problem is, Scotty? Was it overhyped in your
opinion or you've proven and I've proven to you and
you've really laid it out well for us. What's going
on when you're trying to rape these quarterbacks? Is he

(27:43):
overhyped or not?

Speaker 3 (27:45):
I think with him, he's definitely overhyped just off of
the name. When you have and we've talked about this,
you have your two uncles are not only played in
the NFL, multiple time Super Bowl champions.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Exactly, both both of them exactly.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
And they just didn't retire and just disappear often to
the sunset, Like I mean, they're involved in the Pro
Bowl every year. They have their own uh show with
ESPN for Monday Night football where they're commentating on the game.
So like their names aren't going away, the Manning name

(28:32):
just isn't going away. So the pressure that they have
they've given Archie and it wasn't by by them doing it.
It's just by the name and the standard that you
have to live up to with the name. And let's
not forget you know, the the granddad who wasn't a

(28:52):
basketball player either.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Exactly three So the family, so.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Like the hype is they're just off the name. And
I don't think they're putting the pressure on him within
the family to to be that person, but he's becoming
that person just off of you know, you have again
you have two uncles who can teach you everything about

(29:23):
the game that nobody else can teach you. Yes, so
everybody's expecting him to be much better.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
Than he is right now, polished, and I agree, right right,
And think about it, like he played played a few
games last year, so he read your freshman year, then
played a couple of games last year, but really hasn't
seen live action.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Yeah, we all know there's a big difference between practicing
and you can go live in practice, but you're not
going live in front of sixty thousand people, eighty thousand people.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
At a one hundred thousand that's Texas. It's Texas.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Come one hundred, one hundred Texas. I was being exactly
one hundred, one hundred plus thousand every weekend. Now you
and and now you have to go on the road,
and you have to do this on the road in
front of one hundred thousand hostile fans. Yeah, it ain't.

(30:29):
It ain't for everybody for sure.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Okay, where's the deal, Scott?

Speaker 3 (30:33):
You know it, be critical, He'll come around.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Okay. I was gonna be critical CoV yesterday.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
The more I thought about it, and the more that
I started to watch this article that I sent to
you talking about quarterbacks and the rankings of quarterbacks, which
we're going to talk about the last segment. Scott, He's
got a long time to play if he doesn't become injured.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
I just told you Joe Burrows.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
To transfer from Ohose State to LSU to be a
Hesperan Trophy winner and to.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Play takes time at that position.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Lamar Jackson, No one's improved as much as the quarterback
position as Lamar Jackson reading defenses, being accurate with his passing.
When he was at Louisville, he would over he could overthrow, underthrow.
He was not an acrid pastor Scot and he is
now period point blank. So you can improve, and I
think Arch can improve. The key is I think his

(31:30):
family will keep him in that box of understanding. Because
you have the name Manning doesn't mean you have to
be a superstar day one.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Most players aren't. That's the fallacy that we live in.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
But since his name was so huge, even myself yesterday,
he's a Manning, He's supposed to be a Manning. He's
making a lot of money at Texas. He is supposed
to be supposed to be That's not true. You still
have to have time to develop and grow into this position.
I think it's the hardest position to play of any
sport is the quarterback in the NFL and in major

(32:06):
college football. So I'm gonna give him a brink. I'm
gonna give him time. I think he may need to
stay in college another year. I don't think he's ready
to leave. I think he needs to stay at Texas
and continue to refine his skills, grow.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
With the game, and improve. But I'm not crossing him
off just yet.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
He's got size, he's got speed, he does have a
strong armscot he needs time, that's all. So his granddad
may have been correct when he said he's not coming
out after this year, and I disputed that, say, yes
he is. You'll see maybe, Archie. That granddaddy knew more
than I did. So we're gonna leave it at that.

(32:44):
I think he does need to go back to college
this year. I think he needs to stay at Texas
and continue to grow. And I think he's got a chance.
But when we come back, no, no, we're not. We're
gonna get to Mike right now, Shannon, Hey, Mike, welcome
to sports radio for I go to break. Let's get
you in because you might have to get to work.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Brother. How are you.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Come on, man, every day's a good day. You're trying
to get my money. Mike.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
Why I'm dying with your money getting my money?

Speaker 2 (33:15):
But it's not right.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
I said, when my one hundred dollars winner gets paid,
you better call back again, Brandon. That's everybody know that
that check did not bounce. I'm talking to Brandon, my
winner from last week. He got a hundred.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
That hurt me. So let's go with it. The game.
Come on, Oklahoma, Oklahoma and Auber. Are you gonna get
in the bar's bush with me or not?

Speaker 5 (33:39):
No, I gotta get your money first, then I'll get
in the bar's bus.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Okay, I got you? Makes sense? Give me your score?

Speaker 3 (33:45):
What are you going with?

Speaker 6 (33:47):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (33:48):
I'm going with it. I'm going with the Auburn. We're
gonna go uh.

Speaker 2 (34:00):

Speaker 3 (34:03):

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Oh I can't just you're in and out. You gotta
stop for me, Mike, try one more time. Already Home
of Mike, I'm here.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
Thirty twenty seven, Auburn, thirty.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Twenty seven, Louisville bowling green.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
Let's go forty two to three Louisville.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Okay, are you Illinois? And are you.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
We're gonna go Illinois twenty seven? Are you twenty four?

Speaker 2 (34:43):
There are only two people that have picked Illinois so far.
Maybe three Florida.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
At Miami Miami forty one, Florida twelve.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
But the neighbor loses his job. If that's the score,
he will not be there.

Speaker 6 (34:59):
That's the score by and then it'll end up been
launching them.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
There's a lot of rumors about that.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
But let's just let's seal the coffin yet on coach stoops,
Let's let the cake bake.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Let's see what happened.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
Yeah, we got one more. We got one more victory,
and Jerry, you know that, and I know that.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
No, No, you're you're trying to say the one victory soon.

Speaker 5 (35:22):
Yeah, I'm not even I'm not even going there. Okay,
you're right, we got two more victories. Who we got
that cupcake and then we got them, then we got
them chickens.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
See, that's what we gotta. Let you go. Knew it.
I knew it. Mike. We will see, but I've got
you down, Mike. Appreciate your brother. I gotta get nobody,
no question.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
I'm roasting cat like last year, I'm roasting cat for Thanksgiving. Yes,
Ms Paddy will be cooking my stuff in for me.
It's the sports radio. We'll talk to the break. Welcome
back to you Sports Radio. So Scott, here's the key

(36:09):
so that everyone can understand. And Ac, I'm gonna get
to you at the end, at the very end. A
see when we start these stars things, Scott trying to
rap these players and everyone needs to know this.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
You did? You put it together really really well. So
I'm gonna let you read it. Do you have it
up or do you want me to do it?

Speaker 3 (36:27):
I got it?

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Okay, read off?

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Start with Patrick Mahomes to Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.
That way start it and let people know. Just read
it out so they can understand about this quarterback position.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
So, coming out of high school, Patrick Mahomes was a
three star rated quarterback. Josh Allen zero stars, it was unranked.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Lamarck zero star, MVP, three stars, two time MVP, Patrick
Mahomes three star, three time Super Bowl?

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Which champion? Keep going? So, Lamar, and what about Aaron Rodgers?
What about Aaron Rodgers? One of the best spinners of
the all. Like Joe Burrows. What about Aaron Rodgers? How
high was he rated?

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Tell people Scott zero zero stars, zero stars, guy zero?

Speaker 2 (37:19):
What about Tom Brady?

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Three stars, three stars.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Six round draft pick? The goat period, point blank. Here's
some of the five stars that guys are struggling. Bryce Young,
I'm not saying they're the finished, that they won't be
great players, but these are the five stars. Bryce Young,
Tua Tug of Valua, Justin Fields good quarterback. I like
Justin Coming, Trevor Lawrence Coming, got a playoff win under

(37:47):
his belt. Josh Rosen, quittin Yours, Tim Tebow are some
of the five star out of high schools. The bottom
line is they mean nothing. The players that continue to
prove Why y'all think Josh Allen, whyoming Patrick Mahome, Texas Tech.
Let's go Lamar Jackson from Florida, great athlete to Louisville

(38:10):
to play quarterback because people weren't gonna let him play quarterback. Guys,
it's the ones that keep improving. Scott is the key,
the ones that you see the potential.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Now. The one thing I do like Scott is the
quarterbacks that I named you big in Stature.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Sixty three sixty four Mobile, Scott, they're multiple skills, you know.
Brady is the only one that was truly stationary. Aaron
Rodgers had great wheels, he says old now. But Aaron
Rodgers had wheels when he was playing. He could move,
got me. He was a dual threat with a great art. So, Scott,
people need to know when you get these five star quarterbacks. Well,

(38:48):
we had Pierced Clarks in here Louisville. I mean we
had billboards man on that kid, Scott, right, he couldn't
play Danne the Cowboy movie.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
He's in trouble now.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
You don't know when they start raking that quarterback position,
it means nothing.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
It's all about improvement.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
So anyways, let's get to a cr a A.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
What you have for me, just don't don't on my show.

Speaker 6 (39:15):
Well, you're the one who in three weeks ago, you're
the guy who instigated that's not me recording its dead.
Don't believe it's not me. She's the captain of the losers.
That's what I said. I'll take that. You know, I'm
appreciate you for taking my call. And bamination, they're gonna
start crying because now it's time to cry, and ac

(39:35):
is gonna be correct when Kaylin de Bore fails to
win a championship for Bama. Now, how long do I
have because I need to address mister Blanding because he's
not educated, so I'm gonna educate him.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
How long do I have?

Speaker 2 (39:47):
If you don't mind, you got about thirty seconds. Hit it.
