Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to Eve Sports Radio. October seventeenth, twenty twenty four. Yes,
it is Thursday. It's dark outside. I picked up my newspaper.
It was dark then a little foggy, not as cool
as most mornings, but still going to be a nice day.
So just be safe, make sure you get up on time,
don't scurry to work. Get to work. Of course, I

(00:21):
got my younger son sitting in with me. Before I
bring them all, I've got to give you the business.
Of course, people need to get in their scores. Got
quite a few in phone number is five zero two,
five seven one seventy nine hundred. That is Sports Talk
seven ninety KRD. I've got met behind the glass, best producer,
and of course you all the best listeners. So I

(00:42):
appreciate you all listening in.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
And I'm going to continue to do a quality job
for you all and teach Anthony how to do a
quality job and try to represent ourselves in this city
the right way.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
So let me bring on my younger son, Anthony. Anthony,
how are you.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
I'm doing good. I thought you were going to skip
my introduction. I was going to be very No.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
I like that, No, I like that. That you've got
to teach me some of the new slang Anthony. Now
I've gotten out of coaching Anthony Gottlieb, BJ and the guys.
I'm not around them every day, so I don't know
all the news smooth things to say. I'm just a
country bumpkin. But let me tell you what ed today.
I've told people that I was going to let them
listen to a clip from Nick Sabe and I don't know.

(01:29):
It's probably a minute, minute and a half. I'm not sure,
but somewhere in that ballpark it's not long, and I
want people to listen. Okay, not a problem, Mat, just
let me know, and I want people to listen to it.
Matt sloading it for me, but to give you a
little prelude, he's just discussing what he's been doing in
this sports business his entire life. And when I listened

(01:54):
to it, it was one of the things that you know,
you're sixty five, antheen year old, kind of touched to
me because you know, I had my dad look me
in the face and give me the exact same terminology.
And it's kind of crazy when you hear those things,
think you, Matt, when you hear those things to where
you're like, God, Lee, how did he know what Frank

(02:17):
Eve said? Well, maybe Nick Saban's dad said the same thing. Hmmm,
that could be it, Anthony, And maybe other people's dad
said the same thing. So when he was giving his
thought process to Andy Reid, I mean, this is one
of those huge banquets when he was getting an award,
you know, you had nothing but the best of the best.

(02:38):
You could see everybody was fixed on Nick Saban, and
I was fixed on Nick Saban Anthony because he sounded
like my dad talking to me when I was a kid.
And I mean, I just saw this the other day
and I said, I'm gonna play this clip because this
is what coaching is. And I want people to understand

(03:00):
that this is truly what coaching is supposed to be about.
That people do it in gray white people do it
in baseball, basketball, soccer, women's soccer, lady soccer, girls soccer.
You played soccer, Anthony when you were growing up. We've
got the poster in the basement of you coaching guys.

(03:22):
The word coach is an important word, it really is.
It should be up there. But our society we're just
a little messed up. Right now. You know should be
up there with police officers, should be up there with
military people, should be up there with our public servants,
should be up there. But you know we've kind of
lost sight of that, guys, and we have we know

(03:45):
we have guys. We know we have everyone listening to
EVE Sports Radio. We know we've lost sight of where
we're supposed to be. Period. I don't care what side
of the aye you're on. I told people I can
care less about who's what you are, what you call
your just a way to separate us down a great
job of it. But we know we have lost sight

(04:05):
of where we're supposed to be. So I want you
to listen to Nick Saban and then I'm going to
give you all I walked through the park when I
was reminiscing about my days and what it meant and
why you're supposed to say yes to some things and
notice some and discuss some things. I mean, guys, you're

(04:25):
not always right, but conversation is the best. I'm just
being honest with you. You have to have conversation. When
people do, everyone respects everyone more. They just do. So,
Matt Anthony, I want you to listen to it. Closely,
and then I'm going to take you all through the
Yellow Green Park. Listen to Nick Saban please.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
That's what I'm going to miss. I've been part of
a team since i was nine years old, So with
all this help and success, all I ever was I
was the conductor of a process, and our the process
was to help every player be more successful in life
because they were involved in the program.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
So number one, they had.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
To respect the principles and values of the team, and
they had to respect each other, and they had to
be positive about how they went about their work and
how they set a good example and could be somebody
that their teammates could emulate. And they could be responsible
for their own self determination, which is accountability to do
their job, and that they would work and persevere which

(05:35):
I've seen that word here, and have pride in performance
to be the best that they could be so they
could dominate the competition.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Thank you, Matt guys, Nick Didy, excellent job. Let me
explain something to you old. I've been in team sports
since I was nine years old. I played on a
YMCA football team in downtown Saint Matthew's. I had Chip Taylor,
Martin Dunbar Darryl Stitt, my neighbor who lived directly to

(06:05):
the right of me, Anthony loup As you you know,
his son, But I had them. I'm not gonna name names.
That was on my team. That when we bought our
home here in the Sutherlands and I Cranford showed me
Anthony the picture of our gray white team on his mantle.
I was like, that's crazy. From the third grade guys.

(06:29):
And we had a very good third grade football team.
We went undefeated. We did play the Catholic League. We
beat them too. We were really good, guys, I mean
really good. I told everyone I played in the NBA,
I was a ten times better football player. I swear
to you, no, no more bragging, not being honest with you.
It wasn't close. But again my dad had to step

(06:51):
in and do some coaching and said that football is
too brutal. After my older son, thank you, Matt. After
my older son went to University of Kentucky, my older
brother his old son, he said, no more football. My
dad said, no more football. So how many fathers would
say that in nineteen seventy four or five, you're not
going to play any more football. Not very many, not

(07:12):
very many, but I had an exceptional father. I told
people that I was lucky. So when Nick Saven said
since the ninth grade, I said, Ye've been there, well
as I can started to progress when I'm in the
ninth grade, excuse me, not true. When I'm in the
seventh grade. At Ballard there were no middle schools, Anthony.
I'm on the ninth grade team. I'm just a little

(07:36):
squady kid, Anthony. They knew I could play, had some athleticism,
and coach Sayer got upset with the team and he
made the team run well, Anthony, I wasn't even in
the group that was practicing. I was sitting on the
stage at Ballard, Anthony. That's why Balar just sits with me.
I love Ballad. I just do period, point blank, because

(07:56):
I have so many memories of that place. Discipline. Memory's good, memories.
Getting in trouble. Like I told you, I was taking
the cox out of the soda machine. I did that too,
I mean, guys, and there had to be consequences, that's all.
It make me a bad person, But I did bad
things like everyone. But like my dad said, when you
do it, pay the consequences like a man. So I

(08:19):
just remember him making us run. Well, Anthony, running for
Jerry Ease was like drinking water in the summertime, came natural. Then,
after a lot of running, he took us over on
the side and started making us do push ups. Well, Anthony,
I'm a little squiny kid, and push ups weren't my
forte And he said, the first person that drops, he's
going to cut. Anthony. You got me. So I probably

(08:41):
did five or six. I'm not gonna say I did
fifteen or twenty. I didn't. I probably did five or six.
I dropped. Salre cut me. Well, load and behold. Richard
Smith says, you know you just cut. I didn't know
this then, but Coach Saler told me later. He said,
you know you just cut. He said, don't trust me,
trust me, his dad will bring him back. Well, he

(09:05):
was right. My dad did bring me back, and he
found out later, but it wasn't because the reasons he
thought my dad brought me back. He asked me what happened.
I told him exactly what happened. Guys. I wasn't even practicing.
I was just on the team. I don't even know
if I had a jersey. Being honest with you, I
was just one of those extra sitting on the stage.
But a point had to be made, and what's the

(09:27):
better point to make it with a little squad name freshman.
So he says, well, I'm going to tell you what.
I'm gonna go back. I'm going to take you in
that gym, but I'm not going to go back in
that gym with you again. He says, do you want
to be part of that program? I was like yep.
He says, then you have to adhere to the principles

(09:51):
and the values and respect what those coaches say, even
if you like it or not. Guys, I didn't think
it was fair. Do you understand me. I want you
to hear me again. Yep, I'm twelve thirteen. I don't know,
but I didn't think it was fair. My dad didn't
care about that fair stuff, he said, And you might

(10:13):
be right, but that's not the purpose. The purpose is
do you want to be on that team? So that's
the first time in my life ever with sports. Because
I was always the best at sports, there was an
ever issue. I was the fastest, the best, could jump high,
had no problems with sports. This was my first incident
and my dad hit me with the principles and values

(10:35):
of that team. If you can't handle them, then you
can't be a part of that team. Simple as that.
My dad never played on a sports team. He never
had a sports jersey. He only had the service. That
was the only uniform you ever put on. Then after that,
he was a microbiologist. Like I told you all, he
was a smart smart man. Got me cut all the bs.

(10:58):
He was smart in the fifties, William Cherry and David Jones.
You man hired my dad to run the laboratory. That
tells you enough. When we say the sixties, I don't
have to say anything else. Anything you might be too
young to understand, but my old listeners know what I'm saying.
So he said, are you going to handle that? I
said I will. We went back the next day. All

(11:18):
he'd said to Donnie Sayers he could handle your rules.
He'll rerespect your rules and he'll do what you say.
He left back to work and I got to work.
But that was my first process. But the word respect,
principal and values were said. You've got a player, respect

(11:43):
principal in value, and you have a coach respect principal
and value. It all falls together as you grow through
the process of playing to coaching. But those have to
be first and foremost. So we've been going through a
lot of hoopla and I'm tired of it. I don't

(12:03):
even want to talk about it anymore. I'm not saying
any names. But when you heard him say respect, principles
and values of the team, well, that's that what my
Amamada got. That's all I'm gonna say. Period point play.
Let's continue it Witnick shave and said, very quick statement,
positive about your work, set a good example. I've told

(12:30):
you all and I mean this. If you accept the job,
whatever the pay is, you should do it with a
good attitude until you can find a better job. But
if you accept the job, don't walk in there and
thinking your employer owes you something. It's your job to
do a great job and find a better job. Not

(12:50):
as easy for some people. Let me again, Jerry's speaking now.
It's not the same for everyone. Don't believe that lie.
But that's still your job. Don't make it difference, doesn't
change the job. Positive attitude so that someone can emulate
you as a player and as a coach. Guys, we

(13:13):
had behavior at Louisville. They could not be emulated. Last
time I'll ever say this, period, point blank. I don't
care how many times they tell you it's wrong. Then
it's wrong. Now, I don't care how many times they
said after that, it's still wrong. If people cannot emulate
your actions, Like my dad would tell me, you got

(13:35):
a parakeet that sits, and I'm going to get to
my calls. I know you're there, marriage just hold on,
you got a parakeep. My dad always told me, you're
gonna do the wrong thing, son, I mean, and he
was gonna bust my head to the white meat, and
I mean he did. He believed in physical punishment. He did.
That's no problem. I don't care about all that time

(13:55):
out garbage. Everybody does it their way, that's fine. But
he says, when you do something and that parakeet tells you,
you're not doing the right thing, and you're in your
fourth census. We do know that some people have mental
deficiencies that you know, God, it just is what it is.
We understand that. But if you have all your faculties,

(14:15):
and ninety nine percent of us have all our faculties, guys,
we know when we're doing something wrong. We know it.
So tired of people lying. It's so bad. We know
when we're doing something wrong. We got that parakeey, God
gave it to us. Know it. Don't try to twist it,

(14:36):
don't try to turn it. Accept it. Just know you
didn't do the right thing, and try to improve yourself.
Nobody's perfect. But what is going on now is I
don't care what my actions are. You just have to
do what I tell you to do. Now, that doesn't fly.
That's no accountability. Another thing, Nick Saban said, no accountability

(15:02):
to do your job with a great attitude. Accountability, that's
when you know you're an adult. And my dad said,
when you can discipline yourself to not stay out all night,
not chase the girls. I used to love the girls, guys,
I chased the girls. I was in a huge drinker
or smoker. It just wasn't me. But I stayed out

(15:22):
all night like the party hung out. I did. But
then I started to be able to discipline myself. Before
I was bringing myself in, I had to perform at
a high level. I wanted to dominate my competition as
a coach and a player. Persevere self determination. Well, my

(15:44):
last story, I'm going to tell you Simmons College. BJ Moseley,
my assistant coach now soon as going to be my
assistant at left director is coming off the floor wanting
to show me attitude, throws that towel over his head
on my bench. That wasn't gonna happen. And I ate

(16:09):
him up. I mean I ate him up. I told
you all. My wife was mad at me. You didn't
have to talk to that boy that way in front
of his friends across. And this isn't a large, large gym, Jerry,
and they heard everything you said. It's not like at
A and T where yet thousands of people in there
and they couldn't hear you. They heard every word you
said exactly. That was the part of his growth. He

(16:31):
had to know that his friends heard exactly what I
said to him, the exact same way I wanted to
say it to him. It was his self determination that
showed up the next morning at five point forty five
in the morning, the first one at the door at
Saint Stephen's Family Life Center and said, what's up, coach.
That's when I knew he was the one. It's really easy, guys,

(16:55):
people would define themselves for you. Whenston Churchill said in
nineteen forty one. Ever give in. Never. We can be beat,
but we're not gonna give in. You can lose, but
we're not gonna give in. You don't always win every battle,
but we're not gonna give in. My dad was a
big war man, Patton. He just was you can get beat,

(17:16):
but you never give in. You act to count it accordingly.
There's accountability when you're out there. There's accountability when you're
walking around. There's accountability when you're out drinking at night
doing the wrong thing. Womenizing there's accountability doesn't mean you'll
do the right thing, but just know there is accountability.
So guys, that's it for this. How do you know

(17:41):
you've done the right thing. Well, I'm gonna tell you
how I've known seven twenty three and I'm gonna get
you married. Guys. My players from North Carolina and t
bring their kids to my home, stay the night and
want me to coach their kids. Players drive their trucks.

(18:02):
He's a truck driver, Cam Shepherd out of Florida. He
parked in Indiana. He caught an uber and spent the
night at my house with my wife and I. We
had a ball. Spoke to my mom he's sixteen, doing
great for himself, owns his own truck. Now, that is
when you know you've done it right well, when you

(18:24):
have people and their words, not mine, say to you.
When my former players call me I go to the bank,
it's not a positive statement. His words, not mine. This
is Eve Sports Radio seven twenty four. Mary. I'm ready, Matt,

(21:04):
So get with it. That's all right.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
So with our MLB kicking off last night, we had
the Dodgers sweep the Mets eight to zero to take
a two to one lead in the NLCS going into
their Game four of which they will be playing later

Following with our w NBA, Liberty had a game winning

There you go, and we're gonna get to our last break,
and then when we come back out, we'll have Lee
Sterling without a doubt. Guys, he was two and three
last week. That's the first week that he did not
win over fifty percent of his games. And we know
all the upsets. Everyone thought that Kentucky was definitely going
to beat Vanderbilt. It was just a crazy week last week.
So we'll be back to Lee Sterling after the break.

(22:39):
Welcome back to East Sports Radio seven thirty nine. We're
right on time, Anthony, right on time. We've got the
one and only Lee Sterling sitting in with us. Lee,
Welcome to the sports radio. How are you.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
I'm good, I'm good. I got a call from a
friend of mine last night who arrived in Louisville, and
he goes, man, is it cold.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
It's supposed to them up for Friday's game.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Satterday, saturdayday exactly. Tell me something.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Do the Canes travel because it's oh.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
Yeah, yeah, especially they. I mean, this is not Nebraska.
People don't realize this. The University of Miami has eleven
thousand students. It's just small university, not a small I mean,
I think the smallest ones are possibly two of the
five smallest Division one teams are like Rice and Tulsa.
I think both those are under five thousand students. But

(23:32):
eleven thousand isn't big. They don't have a big alumni base.
But you know, it's the city of Miami. People. You'll
talk to Adam every ten people who are Miami fans.
There seven or eight never went to Miami, but you
know the Miami fans and Miami has that base. And
when you win five titles over within twenty years, you're gonna,

(23:54):
you know, you're gonna certainly get a large amount of
people to follow you. And they, you know, also were
a fun team to a lot of people. You know,
they talked a lot of smack and most of the
time they backed it up.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
So well they did. There's no question. Now before we
get started, I really want you to tell me they
have now closed the loophole. What Oregon did, Lanning did
to Ohio State last week and you see that the NCAA.
I told people I knew they would change it this summer.
They've changed it before. What do you think of that play?

(24:29):
What do you think?

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Smart?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Smart?

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Smart? Yes, yeah, yeah, you got to play. You know,
if there's a rule there. I mean I had coaches
in high school, two different coaches that they were always
looking for an advantage. I mean, I'll never forget this
one time in the state playoff game, I was a
holder because it was either tenth or eleventh grade, and
we acted like there was no kicking tea And you

(24:52):
used to be able to kick with the ty in
games back in the day. So I acted like we
forgot it. They snapped it to the to the kicker,
he threw it to me and I ran for a touchdown.
It was a difference in the game. We told the
officials about it. You know, you just got to work
within you know, you're looking for that one play that
can make a difference, and uh, you know, great coaching,

(25:14):
great idea coach.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
No, I agree. I just couldn't believe. I knew that
they were going to put the four seconds back on
and then they did and I'm like, oh my good
and he did it all right, because that's a great play.
But they have changed that LOOPO. That's not a sports
That was quick.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
That was quick, that was really quick quick.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
You know, they had a pushback. The NCAA must have
got great pushback. But yeah, it was still great to watch.
Great games last week league.

Speaker 5 (25:39):
What's craziest we've seen there's two men been two I
mean games that were so built up it was like
going to be hard to match the hype. And that
was the Alabama Georgia game, in the game last week
Oregon against Ohio State, and both games on scale one
one to ten. If you didn't think they were a nine,
you're you just don't watch much college football.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
No, I agree, No, it was crazy. The Alabama game.
They tried to give that thing away a thousand times.
It was like, are you going to win the game
or not? It was it's fun.

Speaker 5 (26:13):
When there's parody. I mean, Vanderbilt is a fun team. Well,
you know, uh, Indiana's a fun team. You know, it's
a lot of fun teams out there.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
We've got, you know, I don't have to pay a
little more attention to Indiana. Now they're undefeated, got a
chance to work in. I'm gonna have to start to
follow them closer.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Good coach, I don't I don't know how they're gonna
keep him. He does this, it's another good season next year.
I'd be shocked if a major we're talking about, a
powerhouse doesn't come after this.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
This guy, I agree, So course points puts points on
the board. Well let's get with it. Because I got
the first game in Anthony. He's got a few after that.
But this Alabama Tennessee, I mean, I don't know Alabama is.
I watched the first half. I thought they were gonna
win the national championship against Georgia. Then the second half,
I know if they could beat me, I just don't

(27:02):
know that. I'll watch South Carolina and I'm like, oh,
the time of South Carolina game was over. I was tired.
Le I was tired. I didn't know what.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
That's a good way to have aut Tennessee. This is
this you we never thought two three weeks ago going
into this game where you got two highly ranked teams
where there's so much doubt. Alabama's given up twenty five
last week, forty the week before against Vanderbilt, and thirty
four against Georgia, and then you got a Tennessee team

(27:34):
at their offense all of a sudden has just vanished.
I mean, nicol my lalla bah, but he is we're
talking about you're talking about a bad run. Thirteen of
his last thirty eight throws of ten or more yards
downfield last two games have been incomplete, so that's called
being landlocked. So maybe the difference here is I don't

(27:57):
think Alabama's defense is that great, and I think Nico
might be able to get out and you know, maybe
get going here. Josh Heipel, I don't think he's a
great coach, but remember he's been around. He was in
the game two years ago when they won fifty two
forty nine. Yes, it's gonna be tough when you it's
your first year in a conference and you're a coaching

(28:19):
staff and you've never traveled somewhere before. Yeah, that's tough.
I just think that Tennessee has the advantage there, playing
at home. Also, the wide receiver court could be getting healthier.
They had a couple of guys banged up there. It's
not gonna be fifty two forty nine like a couple
of years ago. But I'll pick Tennessee here. Twenty six,
twenty four. Gotcha, Anthony?

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Your team Texas, Anthony.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
Anthony, Anthony? What what? What? How did? How did Anthony
adopt Texas?

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Alright, he's just a Texas Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
My mom and sister from my mom and sister from Dallas.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Oh, I didn't realize that, Okay, okay, all right. Well,
I was born in Abilene, so went to two schools.
Was yeah, so my dad I actually I have a
good friend who's the backup quarterback his son, and uh
I went. I was born in ablen bought at Dyas
Air Force Base. My dad was stationed there as a dentist.

(29:25):
And uh then I went to Southwest Texas State now
Texas State and University of Texas. So I got some
ties there too. And they look good, I mean they
are right now. Clearly it looks like the best, most
talented team. But Georgia's played the better schedule. They took
a Clinton team apart, which I mean, they won thirty

(29:47):
four to three. They held them to one hundred and
eighty eight total yards, and now turns out we're looking
at Clinton. We're like, Clinton looks pretty dark good. I
don't know if any team could do that. So, yeah,
Texas did play at Michigan, but Michigan has the number
one hundred and thirty first pass office offense here and
other than that, they played Colorado State, Texas, San Antonio,

(30:10):
which couldn't beat Moach most FCS schools now Louisiana, Monroe,
Mississippi State, and a down trodden Oklahoma team here. I
know what Georgia's best game looks like. I think that
they're desperate here, and if they lose this game, there's
a chance they are out of the college football playoffs.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
They get left out on the edge. Yes.

Speaker 5 (30:35):
Yeah, So if you think this game looks like a
passing of the torch from a two time college football
champion Georgia team to Texas, don't take the bait. George
is more desperate. I like Georgia outright thirty to twenty four.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Oh and what do you think, your Texas man, He
just took Georgia outright.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
It's it's the only reason why I think it's gonna
be tough for him because they're playing at Texas. That's a
hard place to play. As the only reason why I say,
because I'm not saying Georgia is always going to be
a contender, and I'm a big Texas fan. I think
George has a better chance over some of the other
teams like Bama, because their defense is better. That's the
reason why Bama struggled so much.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
They can't their.

Speaker 5 (31:15):
Defensive gotta they gotta get some turnovers. They got to
get some heat on Quinn viewers, and I think they're
gonna I think they've just totally underperformed. I think they're
kind of just been going through the motions and like
I said, I think they're back is against the wall.
I like Texas, Like for instance, last year when no
one talked about them, everyone was talking about Alabama at home,
and they went on Duscaloosa and they whipped them. So

(31:36):
we'll see tough game.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yeah, that was That might have been the passing of
the torch when they busted Alabama last year at Bama
with Nick Saban right with n that may have been
the passing of the and.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
Then and then the final straw was the kid after
after they after they lost the playoff game, they came
in and wanted to want to know what they were
going to do for him to keep them as far
as Nio money. So that's not what you want to
tell Nick Saban.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
No, here's the problem Kentucky Florida. Kentucky is wasting a
really good defense and they held Vanda at twenty points.
That's Vanderbilt slow this year. Kentucky's got a really good
defense and their offense is just golly. I mean, they
put some mint shoes on them and we threw them
in the river. I mean, will the offense ever turn

(32:25):
it around? So Kentucky canness in success.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
Well, Florida, you know, missed a lot of opportunities last
week in the first half of their game against Tennessee.
They should have been up by fourteen, seventeen points. So
the Gators have trouble versus the run. So sometimes it's
not who's the better team, but it's how you match
up against that team. And that's how Kentucky likes the role.
They can get that running game going, they can maybe

(32:50):
get some play action going. Kentucky three and zero the
last three versus Florida. You know, after decades, decades, I
think they lost almost like almost twenty five thirty trade
something like that be Florida. They broke through. In the
last three they've outscored him seventy nine to forty three.
Here's a race to see who can score twenty points Kentucky.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Twenty one seventeen seventeen. Boy, that Vanderbilt lost really stopped
the momentum. Kentucky head or really people were excited about him.
Vandy's a quirky little team though. You're going to give
Vandy some credit though.

Speaker 5 (33:27):
Oh absolutely, y Yeah, they're quirky. They run a lot
of different options, a lot of different blocking schemes. And
people thought, oh, they're gonna they're gonna beat Alabama. They're
just gonna you know, they're gonna get punked the next game. Well, no,
that's not that's not this new coach. And that's then
that's that's not the way they roll with this quarterback.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yeah, no, true. In Miami and Louisville, I will be
there twelve o'clock. It's a sellout, So that means that
you all travel well because we haven't sold went out
this early in a long time all Right comes up
with a win. I think Louve has a chance. Myself,
Anthony and I both talked about it yesterday. Miami has
struggled the last two games. Virginia te Cow may be

(34:09):
better than I think. A friend of mine been talking
about Cal. They may be better.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
Every every game Cow plays is a close game, my
correct coach down to the wire. Yes, yes, true. So
this is Louisville super Bowl. I mean they can say
whatever they want. When the schedule came out, they looked
and they saw Miami. So even though there was talk
they'd be undefeated going to this can, I never truly
believed it. Miami's got cam Ward and number one type

(34:35):
for first in the nation, twenty touchdown passes as a
quarterback rating of one hundred and eighty two point four.
I mean, it's off the charts. He does throw some interceptions,
he'll take some gambles. He's gonna have some success against
this defense. The I think the biggest way to beat them,
besides throwing the football is having your quarterback run spread

(34:56):
option and keeping in a bunch. There is some wide
open Terricoy. If he fakes it inside and is willing
to run, he might get some bunch of times. It's eight, ten,
fifteen yards before he can slide down. But we'll see
if Miami takes that up. Watch that during the game.
That's that I think is one of Louisville's weaknesses on defense.

(35:17):
But on offense, Isaac Brown is really good. I mean,
three games, more than a hundreds rushing yards already. They're
getting healthy a receiver Jacorey Brooks looks good from Bama
riginally from down here Miami now healthy Colin Colin Lacey
from South Alabama. That makes this team dangerous.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Here.

Speaker 5 (35:40):
Tyler Shuk does not run much at all, and I
think they could run him some if they were smart. Also,
but he's a different quarterback now, he's more of a
dropback passer. Games between these two teams have produced an
average of seventy six points on average over the last
three meetings here. Miami also under Mario Chris wall Oh

(36:02):
win three against the spread after bye week. So even
though they had a player's meeting here all of a sudden,
that usually that means you're having some trouble. Their defensive
secondary is bad. They have a couple guys. They have
one guy number twenty five. Watch him. Rashard dead Last.
I don't know. I think there's like two hundred and
forty two safeties or whatever. Dead Last his rating when

(36:26):
you throw in his zone against him. I like Louisville here.
I think they win the game out right, thirty eight
thirty seven. I think it's going to come right down
to the water. I think you gotta take the four
and a half five points.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
A lot of people believe that it's gonna be a
good one. Miami has been a talent though. Don't you
agree Miami has better talent?

Speaker 5 (36:43):
Yeah, I mean they yeah, yeah, I think Miami. What's
crazy is the receiver depth, both both teams and the
running backs. I mean they go like four or five
deep each team, So that that's gonna be what's gonna
be fun to watch. Might come down to coaching. One
play and comes down to coaching. I think Louis bo
does have the ends there there you go, Anthony.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
And then our next game going on to the NFL room,
we got Baltimore versus Tampa Bay.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
Yeah, so Tampa Bay. Maybe this is gonna be one
of those games, you know, like after the hurricane ever
in New Orleans back in the day, the whole community
went wild. I think it's not gonna be on that
level that was in the film. That was crazy, but
I was post Katrina in twenty sixteen. I had to

(37:35):
look that up what year it was, but that was Atlanta.
Didn't have a chance that night. Usually wrong to play
with your game plan run the football against him based defense.
They are really good. They swarmed there. So I don't
know if Henry running the ball twenty five thirty times
is a good idea. And then also if you don't

(37:57):
do that, it's never usually a good idea. Askal Jackson
to throw it forty times. They've got to be patient.
They got to mix it up here. This is also
not the biggest road game for Baltimore. All of a sudden,
you know they they've studied themselves after the two losses,
they've won four straight. It's a non conference road game,
short week after that versus Cleveland Division rival, and still

(38:19):
ten games left to play, so a lot of football.
There's a big game here for Tampa Bay here. Their
defense is getting healthier and despite getting outscored twenty seven
to seven in the second quarter against New Orleans, they
didn't bat nine. They won fifty one to twenty seven
and Baker Mayfield's silencing his critics one by one NFL

(38:42):
high fifteen touchdown passes so far. I like Baltimore. I
like Baltimore to hang in there and maybe had the
lead at first, but I believe in Baker. I'm going
to take Baker Mayfield here in Tampa Bay home underdog
Monday Night, thirty to twenty six.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Thanks every play, take us away with free play.

Speaker 5 (39:01):
Free play is going to be Clemson in Virginia. Clemson
under the radar a little bit since that opening week loss.
They are just running through teams like wake Forest last week.
Do they do it again against Virginia or is this
the game they hit the speed bump? You want to
get this winner? Be one of the first five callers
called eight hundred, four hundred nine seven four to one,

(39:23):
give you Clemson in Virginia on me and just keep rolling.
Had another forty to fifty unit maxwager win last Saturday
with the USC never trailed to that game. Now sixty
nine and twenty five on these forty to fifty unit
max wagers, looks like we have another forty to fifty
unit max wager going this weekend. How do you get it,
Paramount sports dot Com just one hundred and ninety seven

Care well, Anthony, that's another show in the books, man, Anthony.
We've just knocked that one out, so we got about
a minute to go. Anth I don't know what to
say other than a lot of great baseball. We saw
that so Hey got his home run right after Judge
got his. So we're waiting to see what happens with that.
Those two series and the WNBA. What a great shot,

(40:23):
What a three point shot for Sabrina and so now
the Liberty are two to one, So great series. There
one more game get ended for that series, an't so
we might have a champion on Friday. So anyway, everybody
