Speaker 3 (01:25):
It's a one thirty kickoff Tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Saturday, Saturday, Man, I say tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
I don't know what you said.

Speaker 1 (01:30):

(01:53):
in four or five days, just like a lot of
people working hard. Right now, Do you believe I just
said that? I hate I just said my yeah, and
I rarely say it. I don't know why I just
said it. I hate when people say my bad because
who else is bad?

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Would it be?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:08):
That's yeah, yeah, like we know what you're bad.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
In the early days of my bad, you know when
my bad was first becoming a thing, and it is
now very prevalent.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Right.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I was playing college football at that time, in the
late nineties, nineteen ninety seven, and the coaching staff under
John Robinson was on the brink of being fired. And
it was a night before a game and we were
in a kickoff return meeting with a very famous offensive
line coach. He was also in charge of the kickoff

(02:41):
return team, a guy by the name of Mike Barry.
His son, Joe Berry, is a pretty prevalent NFL defensive
coordinator type and USC linebacker. Mike Barry legendary coach. Anyway,
long lead up, and something happened on the kickoff team
and we're watching tape and he goes, you know, what
are you doing here? And Henry's like, well, my bad, coach.

(03:02):
He goes, my bad. I'm sick of hearing my bad.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
I hate it.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I'm sick of hearing my bad. You guys are gonna
get us fired, my bad. I'm sick of hearing. I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. You guys are out there still the greatest moment,
and I think he might have flipped the table and
walked out.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Well, there's the other side of my bad. Ben Hallen,
remember he got let go at UCLA had the exit
press conference. That was a sarcastic that was very sarcastic.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I only married to a three final four, That's what
he said.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
I just hate that term. We know what you're bad?

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, I know, I know it's your bad.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
It doesn't make it better that you say that was
my bad and mad, we know what you're bad. You
made an error, Yeah, I did my bad terror.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
It's time for the final hour of fun facts. Yeah
we're three fun fact.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
I got caught looking at like those real things on Instagram.
I don't know if you ever do that. No, you
don't know what's intram Okay, perhaps I'll take a look.
But it was like a video with words on it,
you know, you read the words, and it was talking
about these are the five most boring high schools in California,

(04:17):
and they all had you saw that one, and they
all had a reason that the high school was boring.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
What was the criteria?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Like this one only offers four clubs, you know, this
one has only two sports, you know, little little farming
town stuff like that. And they said the number one
most boringest, which is not a word by bad high
school in all of California, they said was Torona High
in Torona, which is the San Bernadou area, and that's
where they've got a bit of a mining town, the

(04:46):
Torona Tornadoes. And uh, I thought this was really interesting
because Torona High School is famous for their dirt football
field all dirt field known as the pit. The high
school maintenance crew keeps the field free of stones. It's

(05:07):
regularly dragged to keep it from getting too hard, and
it's watered on game day. When the Toronto Tornadoes take
the field.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Are they like their own school district or something? Why
can't the school district?

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Then the CIF Central Section they're famous for.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
That's this their thing, Like Boise State's got the blue turf,
Like that's their thing. They're playing dirt is the dirt field.
They get a lot of transfers to come play in
that dirt. No, they don't.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
No, I don't believe so. But when they played Boron
High School, it's referred to as the Borax Bowl because
the two mining towns are the world leaders in producing
potash and borax minerals used in a number of products.
Dirt field, dirt field, Toronta High Tonto, Trono, Tronto, California.

(06:06):
You think they have a weather advisory out there if
the gets a little smoky in the sky, He's thinking,
we're not going to play in our dirt field, guys,
it's too smoky.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Probably down by the way, I suggested the Jordan Davis
Luke Bryant's song by Dirt for this fun fact, but.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
He wanted a country song that thought be kind of cool.
I mixed it.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Hopefully they blared on the PA system when the team's
running out.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
That not Dirty Old Town by the Pokes. I think
they go with that. Quick Hits, please ms, Quick Hits,
Come make it quick, y'all. Yeah. Lakers game against the
Hernets tonight has been postponed because the fires. Lakers play
again on Saturday. Sad news. JJ Reddick's house in the

(06:52):
Palisades was one of the hundreds destroyed in the fires.
I don't know if the Clipper game is going to
get banged on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
But well, hopefully there's some advancement on these fires in
the next couple days and things will settle down and
hopefully get somewhat back to normal.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Santa Anita Park has postponed racing this weekend and resumed
next Thursday, January sixteenth. Also, the high school games at
the Into It Dome scheduled for tomorrow night have been postponed.
The indoor places postponing games is I must be a
freeway issue.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
I don't think it's a freeway issue. I think it's
just the whole when we're going through this tragedy in
southern California, why are we providing entertainment of sport?

Speaker 1 (07:40):
But yeah, well we got the sports show here, you
know for ut That's right. Hey, everybody, Clippers are twenty
and seventeen. They are off until Saturday, when they're scheduled
to host the Hornets. Like we said, Kawhi Leonard is
not with the team. He did not play last night
in Denver. The Clippers took an l unknownf'll play on Saturday.

(08:01):
He's away from the team after his family was evacuated
because of the fires. He lives in the Palisades too.
Here is Tylo after the game last night.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
That's the most important thing. Like I said, family, friends
and you know, loved ones. You know, you definitely have
to take care of home and so you know, totally
have my support one hundred percent, you know, going back
checking on his family and kids and you know, make
sure they're will and he got back and they're doing okay.
So we're just happy and.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Thankful for that. We'll see what's next with that.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, it's unfortunate because he just got back. Yeah, and
unfortunately for us, we know more than a handful of
people that lost their houses up there, and so it's
just terrible stuff. And hopefully, like I said, that they
get a handle on this stuff sooner rather than later.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Well down, the Raiders parted ways with their GM, Tom Telesco,
a friend of the show, after one season.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
It turns out when there's dysfunction at the top of
franchises in any sport, at any level, there continues to
be dysfunction within the organization.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
You mean you could judge a book by its cover
in this game, yes, Well, Tommy t had a really
good twenty twenty four draft. He took the tight end
brock Bowers, three other players he selected emergen starters for
the Raiders this season. He reportedly will get a nice
parting gift of millions of dollars left on a three

(09:32):
year deal. That's what he's got left. It was a
four year deal and he only fulfilled the way.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
How do you have looked him? You can chime in here,
how do you evaluate a GM after one season?

Speaker 4 (09:44):
It's a reset. Tom Brady's now a minority owner. It's
got a lot of say in that organization, and they're
listening to Tom.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
And you can listen to the rumors, But how what
does Tom Brady know about Tom Tolesco after one year?

Speaker 1 (09:56):
He wants to open up power for the Bill Belichick,
gon Hire Belichick or somebody like that and give them
GM power.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
If it's not Bill Belichick, then it's just started for
new It's just a fresh start. This aren't Tom Brady's guys.
So Tom wants to come in and put his stamp
on them.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
I hope he's a better owner than he is a broadcast.
Oh whoa. The Chargers are in Houston on Saturday to
take on the Texan Tours. Chargers are a two and
a half point road favorite. Listen to the game right
here on AM five seventy LA Sports. And as we've
been talking about down the RAM game got moved to
Monday night. Rams Vikings will be played on Monday night

(10:37):
in Arizona. It's not moved to Monday night. It was
on Monday night in La. Announce on Monday night in
Arizona because we're having some serious difficulties as a city.
You can check KFI for the latest on that. But
that's what's going on RAMS Monday in the desert. So
if you had tickets Tenny is where you're going. Here's

(11:01):
Sean mcvah.

Speaker 6 (11:02):
Thoughts and prayers are with everybody that's been affected by
you know, these fires. It's one of those deals that
almost doesn't feel real, but it certainly is real to
the people that are affected, and you know, praying, you
know that as many people are okay, and you know,
you just see the amount of people that are affected
and it's you know, it's one of those deals that
you know, it gives you perspective and so hopefully you

(11:23):
get this stuff, you know, under control, and you know,
it's it's been it's been a unique week fortunately for us.
You know, there's been some people that have been affected
in regards to power outages, you know, recommended evacuation, a
couple of our staff members that have their homes affected.
But fortunately, to my knowledge and nobody has been injured,
and you know, for that we're grateful.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
All Right, thank you, coach. There's the update with what's
going on with the Ramaalama Ding Dongs. What about Dion Sanders.
He's been at the University of Colorado for two full seasons,
never beaten a ranked team, and during his time they
had a good year though and during his time, He's
made it pretty clear that he's not looking to leave
Boulder to take an NFL job. However, Sanders made it

(12:08):
known and interview with Good Morning America that there's one
specific situation that would likely get him to make the
jump to the NFL. The only way I would consider
it is to coach my son, Sanders said. The Raiders, Giants,
and Titans are the three teams near the top of
the draft and need a head coach and a quarterback.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
So essentially, I'll come coach your team if you draft
my son.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Which was basically what happened to Jackson and Coronto and
in high school. So he's just gonna ride them all
the way in a Brownie James like style. It seems
to the pro level now. Is Shador Sanders the best
quarterback in the draft? I don't think so, and he's
not getting first round grades from a lot of scouts.

(12:53):
Sometimes it's hard to tell about these air raid guys.
That being said, nobody has to.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
High train overwhelms common sense a lot of times.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
But Patrick Mahomes played in one of those weird editor
eight offenses. We all saw him play.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
And but Patrick Mahomes didn't have the the notoriety that
Sanders has because of his death.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
He did it, but the only guy that really saw
it was Andy Reid. You know, we're like, all he
does is run around. They never run the ball. You know.
It was kind of a similar style offense where you
didn't know how he would translate to the next level.
I mean, if people knew really how quarterbacks translated to
the next level, it wouldn't be so damn hard to
figure out how to pick him. But it would be interesting.

(13:33):
I know, Shilo's not very good at all, so I've
been watching that.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
What this is like the Lebron situation. If it was
just Shiloh and there was no door.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Right, Shiloh would have to be a because.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Brown is like Shiloh. Okay, there are.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Good drafted free agent would be my Shiloh. The Dodgers
traded catcher Diego Kartaya. We talked to David Vasse and
David Vassa will have Dodger talk at seven to are
the twins. Finally, they traded one of these catchers for
a twenty year old pitcher, Jose Mosquez, who posted an
eight point five e r A and two the seasons

(14:09):
in the Dominican Summer League. Cart has recently taking off
the Dodgers party man roster and became just like all
of us gone expendable. Yes, the Dodgers recent agreements with
both Michael Kopek and Bruce doc Rathero avoiding arbitration for
the two relievers. That's a big deal. So I let
Lux go. The other day off Tim, Yeah, we had

(14:29):
breaking news. We were right on top of that. We
called Vass had it ride on. He said, I'm here
in Spectrum sportsne and they didn't meet him.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
They got that kid from Korea now to play middle
infield along with Mookie I saw here and Tommy Edman
and Chris Taylor and possibly kek. He is probably cheaper
than Lux. Yeah, no room at the end for old
Gavin Luck. So it's off to Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
You gotta have his baby and a manger college oops
number twenty two. UCLA is at Maryland tomorrow. I don't
know anybody with connections to UCLA and the state of Maryland.
I just can't think of anybody off the top of
my head that would have those kind of connections.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
I don't I did Maryland you dub last week my
first live look at the at the Terrapins, pretty good team.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Why is it don that people from Maryland are so
proud of Maryland? I mean, we live in California, but
it's not like we're walking around with our chest out right.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (15:30):
What is it about Maryland that excites them so much?
I'm not wrong. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Maryland.
I'm just saying people in Maryland.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Really picked up on that. But now that you say it,
I'm trying to think of a reason why that could be.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Is it the flag? Is it the crab? Is it
the Old Bay?

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Maybe a little bit of inferiority complex living right next
to DC, kind of like Chicago and New York. Yeah, Virginia.
Virginia's on the other side, we have museums.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
What the other one it is? It's a flag, that
crazy flag under armour?

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Maybe under armour?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
And the college football playoffs are underway, Kates, what's the
update out there?

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Well, they're at the half, guys, and it's not been
a very high scoring game. We thought maybe there'd be
some offense from both teams. Me Triley Leonards throwing in
in interception. The difference so far Nicholas Singleton touchdown run
for the Nittany Lions from five yards out. All the
scoring in the second quarter. It's ten to three, Penn

(16:29):
State leading Notre Dame at the break, guys.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Son up a bit, That's not what I wanted. Winner
of this one gets the winner of the other semi
final game tomorrow, Ohio State versus Texas in the Cotton Bowl.
The Buckeyes are six point favorites at at Anti Stadium.
Will you be watching that? Yeah, all right, that's because
you're a sports guy. That's right right on top of it. Petris.

(16:54):
Somebody showing Amphi seventy. We're banging all the events here
in town, though, petrist some money on Anti seventy. LA Sports.
Will be right back with Eric Allen with the latest
on the raider situation and Don McClain net I's in
the city of Los Angeles. You need the latest information

(17:15):
on what's going on. Check out our sisters station KFI
for all the latest, and a good app for your
phone is Watch Duty. I'll tell you everything about going
on with the fires. A fireman told me that, and
now I feel like a real expert. Every five minutes
I'm like, oh, still zero percent. All right back to
the show. But joining us right now on your Southern

(17:38):
California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline, as there is a lot
of news about your Las Vegas Raiders, and Matt's not
here today, so we can really lean into the Raider
fans here.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
At Silver and Black.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Are they never left? Joining us a Raider hero. Also
at Arizona State, Sun Devil got to be feeling pretty
good about the way the Forks represented this year. Dillingham
one of the most surprising college football seasons, perhaps ever. Yeah,
eighty seven Rolls Bowl champion with Arizona State. That team
would have beat Dillingham's Eric Allen run around out there.

(18:15):
He'd get scataboo down. Fourteen seasons of the NFL, three
time All Pro, six time Pro bowler, fifty four career interceptions,
Eagles Hall of Fame, finished his career wearing Silver and Black.
He's on Raider Radio. You see him on all the
Raider digital stuff. Amby Award winner as an analyst and
a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and

(18:39):
Piercing Eyes, and he'd better get in at Eric Allen
six nine on X he joins us on the Petrosen
Money Show. What's cracking? Eric? How are you welcome to
the show?

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Hey man, that was an amazing intro. I think I'm
gonna maybe hire you maybe too.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
You should.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Everybody says that, but I'm sitting here, bro. No one's
ever hired me as a hype man. I think I
gotta go down to Jamaica. Is the only time they
had the guy with the flag and you know, the
hype man guy that screams alongside the celebrity.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Oh yeah, petros you are the best. Man.

Speaker 7 (19:18):
I listen to you guys all the time, even when
the Dodgers are playing. And I know Kates is kind
of going back and forth on the text message when
the Dodgers are playing, but I listened to you guys
all the time. Man, you guys have a great show,
and I'm glad to be a part of your show today.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
We appreciate you.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Eric.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Let's talk first. You know, I've got to talk about
Arizona State. We got the college football playoff going tonight
and I saw that team in the first game of
the year against Wyoming and I was surprised, you know,
that they blew out Whying. Wyoming turned out not to
be that good. But I was surprised like the way
they came out looking like that, because I'd called a
couple of their games the previous year and it didn't
look like that at all. How excited I mean, I

(19:57):
know you got screwed on the targeting call and all that,
but man, what a year for Arizona State. What a
crazy boon for a great football program that has been
kind of a sleeping giant for a long time. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:11):
I think that's the one thing that continues to come out,
is the sleeping giant stuff. And I've never really got
into all that. It's about the production on the football field,
and you have to find a way to get an
identity and have that identity work for you. And I
think they really laid all their cards behind that great

(20:32):
running back and he did an amazing job of carrying
that football team to its highest points and a long time.
And was really happy to see how he was able
to kind of put the team on his back and
really follow through. You know, he got that chip on
his shoulder and it showed, and that's kind of how
they played the whole year. And it was amazing how

(20:53):
all these Pac twelve teams were able to this season
when you know, the PAC twelve one hundred years of
great football was just kind of put out in the garbage.
They were able to contend and being really big time
games towards the end of the season. It just shows you,
you know, when you don't have football people running the

(21:13):
football part of it, how a conference can go from
being one of the best that we've ever seen and
having just amazing players over the one hundred year history
to basically be, you know, a two team conference and
all the other teams, you know, I've been really productive,
So I was happy to see, you know, those PAC
twelve teams fall out, but really sad to see, like

(21:35):
you and everyone else on the West Coast see that
the PAC twelve to Pac ten, whatever you want to
call it, was kind of just taking apart.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Eric.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
The Raiders obviously have parted ways with Antonio Pearser coach
and gim Tom telesco after one year. How much of
that was under performance and how much of that could
be Tom Brady's influence on the situation.

Speaker 7 (21:57):
Now, yeah, let's go back to last year at the
end of the season when ap took over as interim coach.
Was totally different from the pieces we had as far
as upstairs and who was coaching the squad and the Patriot.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Group of guys.

Speaker 7 (22:15):
So he was totally different kind of the players bought
into his style, did a really good job of developing players.
As you saw the last half of the season, players
who came in were getting better each and every week.
You know, we saw Jack Jones, who's from Los Angeles,
make some huge plays against the Chiefs and the Chargers.

(22:37):
Some of these guys who were on the football team
really took to that style of coaching that AP was
able to able to get going later in the season,
so you end up winning some games at the end
of the season. Had a good conversation with our owner,
was able to get the job. They bring in Tom
to LESCo this year, and I think the first decision,

(22:59):
the most important decision that was made was going with
Gardner Minshew opposed to aid to O'Connell, and if you
heard AP's press conference on Monday, he said that was
a mistake. He should have went with AOC and I
thought so too. Coming out of training camp. If you
have two guys who are even usually in football kind

(23:21):
of terms, you give the guy the job who was
there before, so I thought he had deserved it, and
ap has said he thought he made that wrong decision,
and I think that was huge as far as getting
into the season, changing our homes and coordinator going with
Scott Turner, and then the offense looking a little bit
better with Scott in AOC at the helm, but just

(23:42):
could not really recover from the injuries, from the lack
of consistency at the quarterback spot. And when you get
down to it, I think when everyone got back into
the building, Tom Brady I think called a game on
Sunday and the game wasn't over until sixty seven o'clock,
so he's not going to be able to fly into
Vegas on Sunday night. He probably got in Monday night

(24:05):
or Tuesday, and that's when all decisions were starting to
be made. So you get everybody in the building, you
start to think about foundational pieces, what the Raiders are
trying to accomplish and where they're trying to go. And
when you start checking off the boxes, I think the
heads that were like, let's kind of wipe the claim

(24:25):
the slate clean and start over one over the day, the.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
One and only Eric Allen joining us on the Petros
and Money Show. Don McClain is in. We were longtime
friends with Tom Telesco Eric because of the Chargers, and
he would come on all the time, and it seemed
like he had a really good draft in his first
season with the Raiders. Brock Bauers is a star. Three
other of the draft picks ended up starting for the
team as the year went on, and he signed Gardner though,

(24:52):
and that didn't pan out. Is this really about te
LESCo or just a new direction?

Speaker 7 (25:00):
You know, I had a great opportunity to talk to
Tom and a big fan of his. You know, he
got his start back in the Buffalo Bill days. You know,
he was kind of an assistant to the assistant to
the assistant guy. So he saw all those great Buffalo
Bill teams with Jim Kelly Thurman, Thomas, Andre Reid, so
many Hall of famers, So he kind of sat in
that environment. Went from there, went to the Coats and

(25:23):
again a great personnel department, guys, lots of Hall of Famers,
and then he gets to the Chargers, does a really
good job with the Chargers in their personnel. One of
the big reasons why Jim Harball this year was able
to come in change a couple things, but as success
because he has a quarterback, he has an officive line.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
So Tom, I thought, did a really good job.

Speaker 7 (25:44):
I think this is the more of a situation where
the coach that's going to come in wants to have
And this is just me just kind of looking at
it from a big picture point of view. Whoever comes
in as head coach of the Raiders wants someone that
he's familiar with in the personnel department, so when they
start to evaluate, they're on the same page. Not saying

(26:04):
that Tom didn't do well because I think the tight
end he chose, I mean, Brockett is one of the
better players in the National Football League. I mean, this
guy is unbelievable. I think he did a really good
job with JPJ out of Oregon come down to play
either guard or center, and then Glaze right tackle is
going to be a guy who's going to be on
the Raiders' roster. So he has put some pieces together

(26:26):
that are foundational for this football team going forward. But
I just think the head coach, whoever that's going to be,
is going to feel more comfortable with someone who has
the same type of building style And as far as
evaluation and development that he has, So I think that
was the bigger reason why Tom's not here.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
What do you think they'll do Eric with the quarterback position.
You're in a division with Mahomes at Herbert bo Nicks.
Now it looks like he's pretty good. And do you
get it through the draft? Do you try and make
a trade? I mean, which direction you think they'll go? Obviously,
the Raiders are going to have a high draft pick.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
Fix right now, and a lot of Raider fans don't
want to hear that because they wanted to be at
one or two obviously, you know, but when you go
into the building each and every week when we're there,
those coaches and players, as you guys know, you guys played,
there's no way that the players and coaches are thinking
about some rookies from next year who are going to
try and you know, maybe hope this team wins. So

(27:22):
they're all about preparing to win and you get those
two games at the end of the season, but we do.
The Raiders have to have a younger quarterback come in
and be the future of this football team. Now I'm
not saying he's going to come in next year, so
maybe there could be a free agent that we get
to kind of just holds the levee a little bit

(27:46):
until this young guy is able to develop and steps
in and becomes that guy. But for the Raider fan base,
you've got to have a younger player that we can
all look to and say, this is our guy. Because
the Chargers have one, the Broncos have one, and the
Chiefs have maybe the best quarterback we've seen in our
league in a long long time. So each and every week, guys,

(28:08):
we're dealing with the coach who has at least been
to a Super Bowl in our division and a quarterback
who's one of the best in the legue. So we
have to find a way to maybe get a legit
free agent guy, maybe this year. But I have the
hope that that young guy is on our roster, he's developing,
and when he's ready to go, he steps in and

(28:29):
he's ready to take advantage of all the things that
we've been able to do to build around that young man.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
You know, it is interesting because you know when you
were playing, like you mentioned where Telesco came up, and
you think of old Marv Levy and you know, back
in the day, all the coaches were all old and gnarled,
and so many of the guys that get hired to
be NFL coaches now, you know, they look like JJ Reddick.
You know, they look like Lafleur, you know they they
look like they Yeah, all the young guys, yeah, Silicon

(28:56):
Valley McVeigh, their hairs all grease up out.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
But the Raiders right now, I mean, the rumors are
that they might hire one of these old heads like
Belichick or Pete Carroll. What are your thoughts on that
old head versus young dude with all kinds of product
in his air.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, Petros and you know what too.

Speaker 7 (29:16):
But all of us guys, we understand what football is
all about. So if I rally off some names to
you and kind of what they did and what they accomplished,
it's really not about the coach per se. It's about
what his vision is. If we go back to the seventies,
and we've talked about the Steelers and the Cowboys, they

(29:38):
had great quarterbacks, but they could run the ball too,
and they had a great defense. The eighties with the
forty nine Ers and all those great teams at the
NFC East, they had good quarterbacks, but they could run
the ball and play good defense. The Dallas Cowboys of
the nineties and the Green Bay Packers great quarterbacks, but
they could run the ball too. So whoever comes in
here has to have the foundation of being able to

(30:00):
run the football, play complimentary football, and have a quarterback
that can get you in and out of difficult situations.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
That's it.

Speaker 7 (30:10):
I mean, over the course of forty years, the successful
teams have been able to do that. So a lot
of these young coaches are just branches from that great
tree of competitive, versatile, complimentary football guys.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
And that's what it is. That's what it's about.

Speaker 7 (30:28):
So hopefully the Raiders are sitting down and saying, here's
what our foundation needs to be.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Who can get us there?

Speaker 7 (30:36):
What two guys head coach and general manager?

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Who can get us there?

Speaker 7 (30:40):
All the other stuff, guys, the running shoot, we've seen
that it didn't work. We've seen a team that just
wants to run the football. That doesn't work. You've got
to have complimentary football and a coach and a GM
who are married together who can make it happen. And
I'm excited that our owner is able to keep on shopping.
I know some people are like, oh, man, keep chopping

(31:01):
until you get it right. I don't want a guy
that's gonna stay the same. I love the fact that
our owner keeps chopping at it, keeps chopping at it,
and hopefully this is the last chop and that tree.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Is going to go down.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Well, speaking of chopping down that tree, the Pro Football
Hall of Fame is coming up, and you know, look,
we all rooting. We are all rooting for you, and
the numbers speak for themselves. How often do you think
about Canton? How often does it enter your mind?

Speaker 7 (31:30):
Hey, Petrols the last couple of weeks, every day I
wake up, I'm looking at that.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
I'm looking at my front porch, waiting for that knock, Petrols.
And one thing, his hand.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Fell up your whole the whole foer of your house.
That guy's that size of his head.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
I'm I got my eyes open, Petrols. And you guys
did a great job for me last year.

Speaker 7 (31:56):
And one little thing I want to say is it's
about context, right and nowadays with analytics and everything. I
played outside, I played left, right, I played inside. Those
are the things that kind of set you apart when
you're talking about comparisons and things like that, and very
rarely was I a zone guy, Petros. I was about

(32:17):
man to man, getting in your face, and most importantly
the ball skills Petros, taking the ball and taking it
to the house. Petro's That's what it was all about
for me. So hopefully those guys who are going to
vote in a couple of days kind of understand that context.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
I learned about man and zone and college, and I
came to realize that if I was by some unfortunate thing,
if I was out there and they were in man,
I wasn't gonna get off the line of scriptant. No,
you were to get choked right off the line of scripts.
Just get choked, like like Bart Simpson get choked by
Homer erik Alla the best of the best. Good luck

(32:50):
with everything, Eric. We're rooting for you, man, Aaron, God
bless you.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, I know you guys are man. Hopefully everybody's save
us there with the fires Man, take care.

ten East everybody, and we will have your dead and
live guy birthday and the day with the one and

Talk tonight.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Bad news, good news scenario, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
David Verse, God bless us. All is here and he'll
be on next Hanging there, everybody, we are your home
of World Series champion Dodgers Baseball, and Vassa will prove
that with Dodger Talk. All right, Don, this one's dedicated
to you. Nice, perfect for all of us today. Down
because you're here and because you're a geographical superstar, especially

(34:01):
when it comes to one particular famous California city based
in the Bay. Baghdad by the Bay no longer San
Francisco City no longer. Yeah, I mean, but you're still
an expert.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Yeah, twelve years up there.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Today we celebrate over there, exactly right. Today we celebrate
Joseph Strauss. He would have been one hundred and fifty
four years old today, German jew from Cincinnati, the Queen City.
What does the Queen City have a bunch of chile
correct and bridges. Yes, his parents were creatives. He was

(34:38):
a bear cat at the University of Cincinnati, and he
thrived there. Don He was a civil engineer at Cincy,
he was a class poet and president. And in the
twenties and thirties Strauss became a bridge builder. Yes, Dawn,
he built and designed, as the chief engineer the Golden
Gate Bridge.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Wait, he designed I'm the Golden Gate Bridge in San
Francisco from Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
No.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
No, he came out west.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Oh, Okay.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
He designed the Burnside Bridge in nineteen twenty six in
Portland over the Willamette.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah, we've all been on that, the Longview Bridge on
the Columbia River between Washington and Oregon. They got it
going like that. Haven't been on that one, the Cherry
Street Bascule Bridge in Toronto. But we're here because he's
the chief engineer of the Golden Gate. Though Charles Ellis
became credited also over time, the two did not get

(35:33):
along at the end of it, so Joseph Strauss took
most of the credit. Like Shannon Sharp and Skip Bayless,
they went their separate.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Way, Yes they did.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Strouss went hard to make the bridge because they didn't
have enough money to finish it while it was being built,
and he had to beg the public for money, you know,
kind of like our taxes are so high here in California,
yet they're begging for donations right now and water. Correct

(36:06):
disheartening to see our infrastructure it is exposed in this way. Yes,
feel like we live on Mahina anyway. Because the bridge
was the longer distance that has ever been spanned and
a higher height that had ever been seen on a bridge,
and it had to hold up to the forces of
the ocean. I believe even you, Dawn, as the San

(36:27):
Francisco expert, Yes, are a little bit in awe of
the whole undertaking of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yeah, especially back then with no technology.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Or you're like a tour guy, you know. So he
was concerned for the safety of his workers, so he
insisted that a net under the bridge be installed, you know,
in case you fall. Really and nineteen dudes fell while
building it into the net and we're safe. He died

(36:59):
in nineteen sixty year, right after the bridge open. But uh,
a lot of bridges built over the years. But that's
the Uh, that is the bridge.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
I thought when you said San Francisco and Strauss, you
were gonna drop LEVI Strauss saw me. Yeah, didn't that
originate up there too?

Speaker 1 (37:20):
And you know what else? John Gap?

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Yeah, the Gap? Yeah, all right, Pee, You're a live guy.
Birthday of the Day. Happy fifty seventh birthday to Joey
Lauren Adams.

Speaker 2 (37:33):

Speaker 3 (37:34):

moved to la at the age of twenty. To get
into acting. Took her a few years before big brick
came in the nineteen ninety three classic Dazed and Confused.

level Judy Dansch all the way down to Dakota Fanning,

during the film's post production, and their relationship provided the
inspiration inspiration for Smith's next film, Chasing Amy.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
I saw that at USC at a film class.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Adams would have the leading role, portraying Alyssa Jones, a
lesbian who falls in love with a man played by
Ben Affleck. Take a listen to one of the classic scenes.

Speaker 8 (38:35):
Yeah, holden, it's true. In fact, everything you heard or
dug up on me is probably true.

Speaker 3 (38:41):

Judgmental?

tell by that clip, Holy Jesus. Adams has been in
other movies like Big Daddy with Adam Sandler. She dated
Vince Vaughan when the two worked on a film. Worked
on the film A Cool Dry Place. Don't remember that one.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Seems like she is pretty available on set.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Yeah. Yeah, she does a lot of cartoons. She directs
some small independent movies. She left Hollywood in two thousand
and six and currently lives in Mississippi.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
Why would she do cartoon cartoon voiceover? Because she sounds
like a freaking scratchy muppet.

Adams Dam. She has appeared in four films with Ben Affleck,
Dazed and Confused, mal Rats, Chasing Amy and Jay and
