Look on me, Trust your Money. Five seventy LA Sports
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We have dout your
Baseball again tonight. Big victory last night over the Rockies
three to one, a one hit performance combined between Tanner,
Scott Blake, Trinon and the seventeen spitch for Tyler Glass.
Now we'll have first pitch from the Galpin Motors Broadcast
booth at seven and at Chihan on the Mound. David
(01:05):
Vassie will join us in our final hour between five
and six with the latest on the Dodgers. We have
Dodgers tomorrow as well, another three to six show, and
then we'll be going to football professional football Thursday night
football Washington versus Green Bay kickoff at five pm zeer.
We have quickly become the station that is playing all
(01:27):
the games on the station station because we've got a
double header on Saturday. Boothball College Foosball PA. We are
your foosball show of record, Professional and amateur Wiscon although
(01:48):
I guess they are sort of professionals now, aren't they.
Wisconsin at ALBA can always wear a matt Yeah, a
thirty both BA. And the reason we say eight thirty
is not an eight thirty Pacific time a kick, but
an eight thirty pre game that Tim Kates will be hosting.
I don't know if he's going to talk to Kaitlin
de boor or who his guest will be.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
But that was a hot trip last year when Alabama
went to Wisconsin and all the Hillbillies in Alabama, we're
trying to figure out how to get to Madison, how
to get out of Madison, what bacon and egg products
to eat, and all that cheese, and that was a
whole thing. I don't feel the same way like the
(02:33):
fleshy people of the Midwest coming out to the Rose
Bowl when Wisconsin's playing in the New Year's Classic. Around here,
I don't feel that there is a sojourned to Tuscaloosa
in the same way. But that is a Tim Kates game,
there is no doubt about that. And it's a doubleheader.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Because after that, you got yourself. Georgia Tennessee. A little
SEC showdown right here on the West coast, dam five
to seventy LA sports we wreck ignizes the power and
the pageantry of the SEC and a battle between Tennessee
and Georgia and what it brings. Tennessee with a big
victory last week over Syracuse. Yeah the QS and no, no, no, no, no,
(03:16):
they didn't beat the QS. They didn't know the QS
was two weeks ago. That was the opening week.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Had the QUS beat somebody in overtime, right and then
they got they had to run sprints after coach Fran
made him after the week.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Uh, it was it was a walkover. That's what it was.
Last week. Georgia and Tennessee each taking the walk over
last week before they face one another.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
It was Jim Mora's Yukon team that Syracuse beat in
overtime but still had to run sprints in the carrier.
Dome More didn't like that post. He fix it well,
Mara was the Yukon coach. So fran Brown is your
is your friend Syracuse coach, and Fran Brown is very
(03:58):
much And I got to say, I'm not the most
supported person in this opinion. Some of my other colleagues
feel differently, but Fran Brown reminds me. I like him
a lot. I did a Syracuse UNLV game last year
(04:18):
and it was a great game, went back and forth
down the stretch, and Fran Brown is to me, and
he's from New Jersey, son of a high school girl
who had him out of wedlock and all that and
really fought hard heart scrabble New Jersey upbringing. And Fran Brown,
(04:40):
in my production meeting with him or our production meeting,
seemed more like Principal Joe Clark.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Morgan Freeman.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And Lean On Me, which I watched a little bit
of last night on one of the movie channels. He
seemed more more like Principal Joe than anybody I have
ever come across in the coaching world, in my life,
so seeing that team running sprints is a surprise after
an overtime victory against Yukon, not really a surprise. Well,
(05:19):
you know what, It's always a surprise when in modern
college football the coach says, don't cut off your tape,
we're running sprints. Yeah, that's that is always a surprise.
But fran Brown is one of the reasons.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And you're okay with that with him run sprints. I
don't play for the QS. I remember a man in
the media. You've got to have an opinion, you know.
It's what well, I.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Mean, I'll just remember that. Fran Brown told me a
story last year of one of his one of his
student athletes attention teachers and students, one of his student
athletes walking off the field after a victory that Syracuse
had last year and putting his chain on, like his
chain over his uniform, and fran Brown pulled him aside
(06:09):
and said, why are you so insecure that the uniform
and the orange of the Ques is not enough for
you to walk off the field on. Why do you
need to put on this chain and show your insecurity?
And he said it in a way that made me
believe and made me think about Principal Joe.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
I want all the white students to stand up. All
my white students stand up right now, stand up.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Come on, all my.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
High students sign up.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Sign up.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
I said, come on, stand up. These are my white children,
and they're the same as all of you. They've got
no place to go. If they had, they would have
abandoned us a long time ago like.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Everybody else did.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But they couldn't.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
So here they are at east Side High just like.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
The rest of us. Thanks right.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Questions.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
So there are some white guys on this Syracuse team
as well. That's the only point I'm trying to make.
And also that we have a double up of Wisconsin
at Alabama. That's the Tim Kates game at eight thirty am.
For Tim Kate's pregame, Georgia at Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
No.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Kate's pregame on that one at twelve thirty. And the
thing is is, I don't think we would be able
to do this if we were carrying UCLA football, would
we came? Would we be able to carry these No? No,
awesome game. And then we're going to have Dodgers baseball.
So it's three great play by play entities headed right
(07:39):
to your face on Saturday. Of course, between then and
now we'll have great sports talk, great sports talk and
everything that we do. We'll talk about the Dodgers in
a moment. But Matt, we do have another giveaway today
for the make a boutique.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
We did such a bang up job yesterday. They were
really happy with us. They were really happy to our
friends at Hammer and Nails Grooming dot Com that they
gave us another gift card for the man that wants
access to luxury services like haircuts, like a hot shave,
a luxury hot shave, a hand in foot care appointment.
(08:13):
You want to manicure, you want a manny petty, but
you want it delivered in a relaxed of course, you
want to be relaxed when you get that done. You
also want it to be masculine. A masculine atmosphere is
what you're looking for. And that's where Hammer and Nails
come in. And we've got another gift card to one
of their nine locations whichever you prefer here in Southern California.
Get all the details at Hammer and Nails Grooming dot com.
(08:36):
When did we give it away yesterday? Lately show lateness show.
Was it? The last was the very last segment five o'clock,
five o'clock we gave it away. Okay, So between now
and five fifty five PM, Hammer and Nails Grooming dot Com.
You mentioned they have cocktails. Don't know what else they
(08:59):
have to make it so masculine. I would imagine TV's
with sports being played, it's probably a very masculine. Well,
that's not what you mentioned yesterday, Matt, I suggested maybe
it was nudi mas.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
That's that's not cool.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Well, that's just very masculine. That's what we would get
at the barbershop, right, you'd get a beer out of
the fridge, and then you'd find a nudy mag and
you would sit there in the chair and get your
hair cut.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
I don't know what kind of barbershop you're going to, Matt.
My barbershop, we chop it up, We talked sports. We
kind of just, you know, anything goes you. Your barbershop
didn't have nudy mags. No, my barber shop is like
Lebron James's TV show. It's exactly like that. You know,
we just kind of sucks. Then that shop sucks.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
What are you talking about? You get a sweet fade.
Maybe do a song with two chains.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
We talk about rap, we talk about everything in that culture. Yeah,
culture stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
It's great, Governor of California. Ye sign official documents. What
a nice freaking playboy, That's what I want.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Well, the Dodger one last night, which is good. I
mean people are happy about that.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Was it a great game? I mean, pitching wise, it
was a one hitter. Tanner Scott couldn't complete the of course,
could not complete the combined no hitter. God forbid, you
have a clean ninth inning.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
I don't understand the whole no hitter thing. You get
to leave Yamamoto in to try to complete a no hitter,
but you take glass Now out and he doesn't seem
the least bit upset, No, that he doesn't have to
go back out there, Like I don't. I don't understand.
Is that was that a little weird? I mean, we'll
talk to Dave about it in the third hour, but.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I don't think it's a little weird. And I don't
know if weird's the right word. I think it's embarrassing.
Like every single picture on earth you would assume is
in his manager's face saying, don't you dare pull me
out of this game. I got a freaking no hitter going,
and it's up to the manager to then say, like.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Everybody thinks I'm soft, yeah, this is my opportunity to
show how hard.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Core I am. Right, Like one hundred and five, I asked,
I'll throw one hundred and fifty five pitches if I
need to. I want this no hitter, I mean, and
it was, you know, he's trailing one nothing, and it's
you know, you got a no hitter going, but you're
losing the game because your offense can't get a freaking
hit off a guy that's got a seven era and
(11:17):
you don't want to go back out there. It's just
and then it's a tie game, so the only thing
he's getting is a no dose. Did you know he
ended up getting the win, right, Kates? Yeah, because they
that's right, and they scored in the bottom of the seven.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
But here's what happened right after they took him out.
People are pretty upset about this too. I mean, this
is a bad moment in time.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
Nothing and one. The counter to Ryan Ridder, who's oh
for one with a walk tonight number nine hitters second
Basement Scott Fires swung on and hit the left field
over the head of Michael Confardo. That's the hit, and
the no hitter is gone and in with a double immediate.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Listen to those booze.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
So the Dodgers had a chance for their second combine
no hitter in history, and they do not get it,
as Tanner Scott gives up a double, just the eighth
double of the year, to Ryan Ruin.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
So that's two blonde no hitters in three games.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Is that? Is that the right number? Yeah? Two and
three games won a loss, Tanner Scott. Was that Soldier
Field last night?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Or was that Dodger Stadium?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Is that Caleb Williams walking off the field or Tanner
Scott's standing up there being serenaded?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I mean, what the hell the guy plays in college?
I don't know. Is this like a September cal campy
Kates Ritter, You heard what Tim Neverett said. The guy's
got eight doubles all year and he plays at Cores
where the outfield is the size of freaking fifty acres
and he's only got eight doubles. And Tanner Scott, on
his second pitch of his appearance, a freaking shot to
(12:59):
the left field.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
Ung on and hit to left field over the head
of Michael Canfordo. That's the hit, that's the hit, and
the no hitter is gone, and in with a double
is Ryan Ridder. Oh the disgust and Neverett's voice you
can hear it. The no hitter is gone.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Hit double is Ryan Ridder, and the crowd is passed
as they should be, but they're probably the guy's gonna
blow it again.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
They won, and there's still a game up in the
division and the Rockies again denied, and they should be
okay against the picture going tonight. Emma Sheehan is the
opposing picture. But here's glass now about being taken out,
and most guys would be pretty pissed off.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I think.
Speaker 9 (13:42):
But I think for me today, like after the fourth,
I felt pretty locked in. Like I think you, channing
is kind of its own thing.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
I'm sure to keep it as consistent as you can.
But I think whatever I found in the fourth that
God felt, it's just everything some time.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
And you said last time you knew it, Did you
know it again this time?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (13:59):
I was aware of an ice.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I knew my pitch count was pretty.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
High, so I figured it wasn't.
Speaker 9 (14:02):
I don't know how like many pitches I was going
to be allowed to throw. But yeah, I think last
time I just less pitches. It was a little bit
more like real, I guess, And then this time I
was I was aware of it as well.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Did you fight it at all?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
We know now I kind of.
Speaker 9 (14:15):
I mean, obviously that's a good question if I want
to stay in no matter what my pitchcount is. And
I think just given my like track record, I kind
of understand why. I mean, if I was like healthy
every single season, it could maybe be a different story.
But I respect and decision. They wanted to take me
out and we ended up wointing, So it's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Oh you're healthy now you think maybe you want to
go out there now with that opportunity to throw a
no hitter, which.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Is like, literally hasn't been healthy his entire career, your
entire career, you haven't been healthy.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
But after you hear that, Matt, after you hear that,
the fight and the fire and the voice of Tyler
Glass now at a hard high.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Is that how you describe it? Fight and fire after
you hear that, or maybe lack thereof? Yeah, how excited
are you to see Glass now up on the mound?
During the Dodger postseason, maybe even in the wild Card round,
because you know, they suck so bad they're not gonna
get a bucks, right. You know that was a mistake
that Dave Roberts made. He said, all I care about
(15:13):
is getting those eleven wins in the postseason. Well, right now,
eleven wins is gonna leave you two short of a
World Series championship because you've got to get those two
in the Wildcard round and a best of three series
that will be played at the wild card team with
the best record, which right now would be the Cubs
ahead of them, so they would play all three games
if it needed to go three to get two wins
(15:34):
at Wrigley Field. If they do not secure home field
by winning the NL West, the Padres are a game
behind him. They have a considerably easier path the remainder
of the season, which is why those games against the
Orioles and the Pirates were so consequential, because they're gonna
get four. They got two more against the Reds, followed
by four with the Rockies, three with the White Sox
(15:57):
when the Dodgers are dealing with seven with the.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
So you're telling me the Dodgers have been passed by
the Cubs and they're going to have to go to
Wrigley for three games.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, they if they don't win the division, which depending
on how you think, the Padres are going to close
the season against a much easier schedule than the Dodgers
have versus the Dodgers and what they have to close with. Yes,
the Cubs are eighty one and sixty three right now.
The Dodgers are eighty and sixty four. If the season
ended today, they would host the New York Mets for
(16:31):
three at Dodger Stadium if it needed to go three. Uh.
If they don't win the division, they would travel to
Chicago to take on the Cubs and then likely have
to travel to Milwaukee to face the Brewers in the
Divisional round. A team that has eighty nine wins and
a plus one seventy one run differential. Okay, they might
(16:53):
want to win that division. Yeah, probably a good idea
to try to win this division. Like, go back out
their glass. Now you've got no hitter going, and we
just watched Tanner Scott blow a no hitter when all
he needed to do was get one freaking out or
actually blake trying it. It's up one of the botts.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
I remember being in the desert and driving home and
it was I don't know, a few years back, and
Kershaw had the no hitter going and they took him
out and Vassy was all geeked up about it, and
then Kershaw talked to him the next day and calmed
him down. Do you remember this, This was a few
years back. I mean, this has become a real pattern.
(17:30):
I mean we of course remember the Ross stripling, right
us Dad was so thankful, Like why do we take
guys out when they're pitching a no hitter? I mean
they're all their arms fall off anyway, right, It's not
like it prevents injury in some crazy way. They all
eventually get Tommy John. No hitters are a huge part
(17:52):
of exciting baseball, especially when football is getting started and
some of the attention, a lot of the attention has
shifted to NFL and college football. Why wouldn't you let
the guy pitch a no hitter, or at least try
it's eighty degrees in Sonny out he's fine, or.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Not let him force him? Hey, Tyler, this will be
good for you. Let's let's get a little salty, I
mean a little tough love. Yes, let's let's get a
little of the uh little less of the Budweiser nips
and abs goggles celebration, and a little more of the
you know, feeing a little tightness up here in my
back's kind of locking up. Yeah, okay, well let's fight
through it. Let's fight through it.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
And they only pitch once a week for the Dodgers
because of their extended rotation.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, they throng about the six man rotation.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Glass Now told him he wasn't feeling right the other day,
so they o TOADI stepped in and pitched, and then
yesterday morning suddenly he's like, I feel great, I want
to do it. So they let him pitch and then
he's pitching a no hitter and then they take him out.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I don't know. I mean, it's not Ross Stripley, who's
a rookie, right, and you're like, hey, this guy's mate.
That was but that was it was BS. But it's like,
let's let's be careful. He's, you know, makeing a vet minimum.
Let's make sure that we don't ruin this guy's I
don't like it. I'm with you, but I think you
can at least maybe explain that oil always something that
(19:14):
they can say, Well, you know, I'm a little but
it's like, dude, to go, you're pitching a no hitter.
Why wouldn't the pitcher like punch Dave Roberts in the
face and run out there. That's exactly what you would expect.
I don't think he's has he ever thrown I don't
think he's ever thrown a no hitter in his career.
I can't imagine him do that. No, So, in what world,
when you're whatever, seven eight years into your career, knowing
(19:36):
how rare these opportunities are, would you not want to
try to get a no hitter on your freaking resume
and say, yeah, not only did I pitch in the majors,
but I threw a no freaking hitter.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Now, look, we've had these conversations for years about second
guessing moves made by the Dodger front office and Dave Roberts.
The truth is last year the Dodgers pushed all the
right buttons in the postseason, and Dave Robert it's had
all the right moves like Tom Cruise and coach Hayden Fox.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Oh, it was masterful.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
So who's to say that won't happen again, but curious
moves no doubt last night, as the Dodgers did pull
off to victory and Tanner Scott didn't closeline somebody like
Steven Seagal to get back out onto the field to
have an opportunity to make history. I guess it doesn't
(20:26):
matter that much anymore, but it matters to us.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
He I'm going through his game log, so one hundred
and five pitches so far as the most he's ever thrown.
In the last two seasons, he had one hundred and four.
Now I'm back, there's one o three. Ok, so the
most since twenty twenty two. I'm now in twenty twenty two,
which was the shortened season. No, he barely pitched in
that season, so yeah, most one oh five is still
(20:50):
the most. The last win was March thirty first, which
was his first stut so hunting, and he threw one
hundred and fourteen on June eighth of twenty two one
one uh and then he made one more start that
went four innings and he was shut down for the
rest of the year.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
I mean, I know they awe him one hundred million
dollars and he just missed a start but just come on.
It reminds me that meme of a guy with a
stick poking at something. It's like, come on, do something,
we'll be back. We have the local knowledge. Something we
rarely talk about, the ap pole, but another daily news
(21:27):
usc beat rider is making news. Twenty years ago, it
was our dear friend Scott Wolf, who was excellent. Couple
years back, it was that Luca Evans guy pissing off
Lincoln Riley. And now one of these situations there's a
young lady who uh well, we'll discuss it next.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports pot cast a preset
on the iHeartRadio app using Apple car Play or Android
Auto road.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Trip all summer with LA Sports. Dodger Baseball Tonight, Dodgers
up one over the Padres in the NL West with
eighteen games to play. Our Wild Wild West update brought
to you by wild Fork Find your wild Fork from
Valencia to Encinitas and everywhere in between Wildforkfoods dot Com.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
All right, Matt, I guess we would call this local
knowledge local knowledge. You got it, Katy, Come on local knowledge, brother,
Quit chopping it up about the Chiefs Chargers. That station
history got a Raider game coming up on Monday. Brother, Matt,
we're giving away.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
The hair and no hair. Nails is knowledge, common knowledge
is local knowledge.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
He's very knowledgeable on the things that you come up with.
This part for with your.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Knowledge, all right, Matt Hayley's I did not know this
woman's name before this morning, But Hailey Sawyer is the
new USC beat writer for the LA Daily News Group,
so OC Register and all that made some waves today
in the world of college football.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Now we're used to the daily news beat writer for
USC doing a great job because Scott Wolf did the
job for decades and he was the best beat writer
following a college football team in America. I believe that.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
And then Luca Evans, who now works for the Denver Broncos,
did a great job getting under Lincoln Riley's skin and
making a name for himself. I'm not sure that's what's
happening here, but an interesting story. Sawyer and a lot
of people turn this down because they don't want the
scrutiny because it takes a little extra work. But Sawyer
(23:50):
has a vote for the AP Top twenty five College
Football poll, which is the only poll we really have
middle and it's not you know, it's not official. I
mean it's official, but it doesn't really mean anything in
the world of the college football playoff because that poll
starts coming out in October because of the committee. But
(24:14):
if you're doing associated press voting, you should be taken
it seriously.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I think we can all agree on that. I'd agree
with that.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
And she's upset a lot of South Florida fans by
not voting them at all in her Top twenty five pole,
even though they're two and zero and beat two AP
ranked top twenty five teams in the last two weeks.
They beat Boise State handily in the heat in South Florida,
(24:43):
and then they went to Gainesville and beat an SEC
team in the swamp. Everybody saw it, and she moved
Florida up after losing to South Florida two spots. So okay, Yeah,
she she's a good young reporter. She does do some
(25:03):
self serving videos from practice and on campus, like when
you're thinking about ballet but you watch football and it's like.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Oh, like TikTok videos.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Well, yeah, but they're on Instagram and it's like her
doing ballet moves on the USC practice field.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I meant like a TikTok vibe. Yeah, I guess, yeah,
but I don't have TikTok, so I wouldn't be able
to watch those. Oh you're miss This is her first
year on the USC beat. USC's two games into the
season and she's doing like pleas on the field and
cutting it up with football guys, hitting the slats and stuff.
(25:41):
Which is it's not as.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Bad as Susie Shuester bringing her dog to practice, but
not nothing. Nothing that's punishable by the worst thing you
can do to anybody. I mean to me, he should
be guarreted garrotted excuse. But anyway, she did not help
herself out today going on the USC hooops dot com podcast,
(26:05):
where which is something I've never heard of, but when
she was asked about the ap pole and how she votes,
this is her response.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
As far as what my votes are and what my
process is. You know, I wake up early in the
morning after covering a game late in the night before.
Don't want to go too much into my progress or
process or logic, but I will say I appreciate everybody's
interaction on social media and all of your feedback. I like,
(26:35):
we take into account the week to week performances for
a team, but also take into account, like the overall
season so far, what kind of culture that team has too.
And there's also you know, there's tons of people that
vote on the ap pole, and like it's not a
perfect system, but at the end of the day, like,
(26:57):
no matter who you pick, it does even out because
there's so much any people who vote, and like I said,
it's really fun for discussion. It doesn't you know, probably
matter in the end, but I'm glad that people are
having a really good.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Time with it.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Then if it doesn't matter, then then don't accept the
responsibility of actually doing it. You don't want to go
into your process because you clearly have no process. And
couple things, She's not wrong. The apeopole doesn't matter because
it's not used in the college football formula. But that's
(27:32):
also like saying, well, this doesn't matter because not everybody's
going to see it. It's just that that's insulting to
your own job, right, She's crapping on her sport that
she's working and her fellow voters and media members, which
is not great. On the other hand, she's gotten the
Hillbillies in the South Florida and the SEC all riled
(27:56):
up and has probably upped her social media follow I mean,
we're talking about her. The apeople does mean something. Just
a quick Google search and you'll find out that the
AP rankings are compiled by pulling sixty five sports writers
and broadcasters from across the nation. That's not a lot, no,
(28:17):
she said, it's a ton. Sixty five is not a ton.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Well, if you put together.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
The weight of all the people is there's so many
people who vote.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
So many people sixty five. I think if you weigh
them all out, then it's going to be more than
a ton. But you're ratherically like, it doesn't feel Yeah,
I was expecting you to say, like two hundred. No,
if you put them like two one hundred would be
a lot in a grain elevator or something, you know,
like there are at least a few tons at least, right,
so maybe that's you know, so technically it's the same
(28:45):
thing again, like does it matter? Does the apeople matter?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Not?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Really? Are we a ton?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Yes, you're over a ton, but sixty five is not
that many people. And these votes affect That's what sucks
about the preseason poll. They do affect the way people
see the rankings when the stuff comes out in October.
Now that's all convoluted and weird because ESPN runs that
(29:13):
and acts like they don't kind of like the SEC
or Fox with the Big ten, So all of it
is very convoluted, and you can argue, it's already a
rock fight. How does Haley Sawyer come in and mess
up what is already a rock fight? But acting like
that and being super nonchalant with the self serving videos
(29:34):
and stuff like that, it just feels like we're not
really doing the job. Each voter provides their own ranking
of top twenty five teams, and the individual rankings are
combined to produce the national ranking by giving a team
twenty five points for a first place vote, twenty four
for a second place vote, and so on, yeah, down
to one point for a twenty fifth place vote. Ballads
(29:56):
of the voting members in the AP poll are published.
So if you're your first year on the USC beat
and they give you an AP vote and you've taken it,
because most people would say, you know what, let me
finish this year first, let me see what it's like,
let me see how to do this job, because last
year I was covering see our canyon. Let me see
(30:19):
what this is like, and then I'll vote in the
AP poll. I mean, I'm a voter for a couple
of college football awards, and I'll be honest with you.
A lot of the time, I don't submit a vote
because I don't feel like I know enough and I
feel like I could only screw it up, and I'm
too tired on a Sunday to check and look at
all of it, so I just leave it as opposed
(30:39):
to casting some weird bias vote or just filling it
out nonchalantly. And there is other people like.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
There's four go ahead, piece hard, go ahead?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Man?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
What is I was going to say, there's I'm looking
at the whole poll right now. There's four people that
don't have South Florida right, She's not alone. It's the explanation.
People that are like, oh, well, why you know it's
the explanation, right, and two people that we know really well.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Tim Brando has chimed in saying, really, I gave up
my AP vote the tap tap and timmy be when
it was actually being used for the BCS for me,
I felt there was no way I could condemn the
process if I was part of it. The great Beno
Cook and the AP had at head at the time.
(31:29):
Herschel Nis Senson went to bat for me to become
a voter. After college game Day was born, it wasn't
quite as easy to become an AP voter in those days.
This young lady reminds me the New York Times poll
I once called, and I was referred to the editor
of the Life and Garden section. It was her responsibility
(31:50):
to handle the Times pole absurd. So Brando has chimed in,
but our friend Danny Knell has taken it up here.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Hole.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Yeah, he's taking another side of it, talking about how
she this is not the only idiot pollster for the
IP of These are often published and there's often a
lot of head scratchers from somebody that rolled out of
bed after covering a regional game on a Saturday night
and rolled out of bed on Sunday morning. Uh Danny
(32:19):
Canel says another favorite polster, uh Kochie Riley.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I was just gonna mention him. I was just gonna
mention him. Alabama two spots ahead of Florida State. He's
Gotlorida eleven SEC teams.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Florida five spots ahead of us F and Arizona State
ranked when Mississippi State just beat them. So uh, but
you know what, he didn't go on a broadcast and
be like, I want to talk about in process.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Or oh she wakes up, you forgot that part. I
wake up my process.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
I wake up too much into my progress or process
or logic. But I will say I appreciate everybody's interaction
on social media and all of your feedback.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Nine AP voters had SMU still ranked in the top
twenty five. They did not like you said, there's a
million differents.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
They did.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Baylor just beat them in overtime, so there's a lot there.
But this one is in our backyard. And she said
it on a podcast now the La Times a while back,
and I remember this with our friend God rest his soul,
Chris Dufrain, one of the great college writers that ever lived.
(33:30):
The La Times doesn't allow the writers to vote in
the AP poll or for the Heisman. And I don't
think Hayley's a bad writer. I think she's creative and
she's learning the job. She's a lovely lady. And my
apologies to her, but the ap should probably ask her
for an apology or dump her if she's not taking
(33:50):
it seriously. It's one thing to have people vote, it's
another thing to have people vote and then go on
and say it doesn't really matter. Well, if it doesn't
really matter, then you don't need to be doing it.
Maybe just concentrate on doing a great job on the
USC beat because now that they're playing conference games on
the road, that might get a little hairrier.
Speaker 7 (34:10):
This does mean something before the playoff polls come out
in October.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Well, I mean you can't say how it influences it
or not. Well, it does it does?
Speaker 7 (34:18):
I mean, because you know last weekend I had Oklahoma
and Michigan in Norman, and it was billed as the
only top twenty five matchup in college football that weekend.
Now it was only week two of the season. Is
Michigan going to be a top twenty five team all
season long? Who knows freshman quarterback. They may fall out
of it if they start losing. But the point is
it was billed it was on primetime. TV games are
(34:41):
being selected for certain windows in primetime based on your
matchups that are top twenty five sexy programs playing each other.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
You're right, You're right. I mean, you're absolutely right. The
AP pole means something in a very very significant, long
part of the college football season through September new October.
So it does mean something, but it doesn't mean the
same thing as it did back when Mac Brown's brother
screwed over Jeff Tedford's cow team in two thousand and four.
(35:12):
That that kind of thing. It doesn't, It doesn't. Right
they go to the committee rankings at that point, it.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Could affect USF.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
I mean, if they're top twenty five team in the
next two weeks here, maybe ESPN picks up their game
in a prime slot.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Probably because they've done what they've done. But it's look again,
she's too good of a rider to sound that clueless
on somebody's podcast. I wake up. It's not part of
my progress, my press.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
My votes are, and what my process is. You know,
I wake up early in the morning after covering a
game late in the night before. Don't want to go
too much into my progress or process or logic, but
I will say I appreciate everybody's interaction on social media
and all of your feedback.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
And you know you're right.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
The first college football pole usually looks about ninety five percent,
like the AP pole, And.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yeah, it's hard to overcome preseason ranking.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
Yeah, that's the one thing, very hard, and that's that
happens before the season even begin.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Right, So last year you're in the problem, you're Indiana.
But in the in the days of the college football playoff,
is it really a problem anymore? Because you know, if
you if you're in a power division, power conference excuse me,
and you're a top two, top three team and you
have a great year like Indiana did, it's likely that
you will make the college football playoff. But you're right.
(36:34):
I mean, you start out the season unranked. You have
to prove it over and over and over again in
the fall before you start getting people's attention, and the
AP pole has a lot to do with that. Not
to split hairs here, but I thought it was an
interesting thing because just to have somebody be like, look,
we all know what it's like to be in the
sports media and be like, who do you like for
(36:55):
the Heisman?
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Petros? We have to put up a thing, Oh who
do you like? Put that guy up?
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Put put this guy up because he's in the conference
that we're playing. You know that we have in this game.
You know, that kind of stuff. But that's production and
conversation in a game. You know that you that you're talking.
You know, we all do those things. But if you're
voting in a poll, you really do have to do
it right. And it's unfortunate situation. Unfortunate to hear her
(37:22):
say what she says.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah, I mean, and it's not that there's Look, it's
not impactful because there is not another non power four
in the top twenty five. But when you want to
be that you know, group of five, six or whatever
it is now group of five that gets that playoff bid,
it is important to get it right. If it's South
Florida versus Boise State, you know what I mean. Like
(37:45):
that is where the pole becomes a huge deal for
a school specifically like South Florida to get that one
bid and down the stretch.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
You know, that's not the pole they look at, but
it certainly influences the pole they do look at. And
there's a bad look, bad look.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
It's bad look for USC Hoops podcast. Bad look, Haley.
I appreciate everybody that I appreciate everybody's attention. Well, we're
giving you the attention she has.
Speaker 7 (38:16):
Locked her Twitter account, So unless.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
That's also weak as hell, you can't lock your Twitter account.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Twitter's a terrible place.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
I know, but you're like, you're a beat writer. You
need your Twitter account to be open to everybody. Even
though you've upset most of Tampa, you still got to
open up that account.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Come on, don't take the causeway, Haley.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
We'll be back with some reaction as The Petrosen Money
Show continues on m FI seventy LA spart.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Hello, PMS listener.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Did you know Am five seventy LA Sports has a
wide range of LA sports podcasts.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
There's Rogan and Rodde.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
That one is my favorite, Dodger.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Talk with David Vassei, the Dodger Podcast of record, Clipper
Talk Without a Musk, follow us all and many more.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Just go to AM five to seventy LA Sports on
the iHeartRadio WIP.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
I wake up early in the morning. That's what I do.
We wake up early in the morning on Saturday to
watch college football and to listen to college football right
here on your home of college football with a doubleheader
is Wisconsin Alabama. Kickoff at nine pregame with Tim Kates
at eight thirty AM. Down in Tuscaloosa Bryant Denny Stadium.
Georgia and Tennessee will follow at twelve thirty. Now that
(39:35):
we are not burdened with the twelve to fifteen thousand
in person viewing at the Rose Bowl UCLA football on Saturdays,
we can bring you the greatest games of the slate
and that means Wisconsin, Alabama, Big ten SEC showdown and
an SEC border war between Georgia and Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
You know, Matt, we just had a live conversation about
the AP poll and no, this is not Paul Fine
Bomb's show, but he opened the phones, Paul, but I think.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
It is interesting. You know, we're talking about the young
lady Haley. Oh, I'm sure Haley Ward on Fine Bomb today.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Well she's locked her Twitter, which is a bad look
and ignore it. And whoever posted or shot the valet
the ballet video for her on the practice field should
have their credential revoked. But there there is some.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
I believe it was he tends to shoot dancing. I
think that's fair. This is the guy that did Dougie.
It is time for some texts. Hey, God, look at that.
Speaker 6 (40:50):
The secret text does a fine brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
We make it easy.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
P one is more upsetting right now in the LA
media and he lists off four things. Okay, this usc
nonsense with the beat rider, Kelly Stafford's pod, Mookie's pod,
grab an ass with every player on a team, kicking
the Dodgers ass.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Chairman Lee G.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
James on China State media saying he could fix relations
between the USA and China, and then he finally says,
I hate being here.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
That's a great well, I think Haley is a distant
fourth to all of those. You think Chinese State media,
it's you know, look, Robin wants to roll over to
North Korea and play basketball with a leader of essentially
a terrorist state. So be it. The man's out of
his gourd and is cash in a check. Well, no
one expects, you know, much else from Dennis. He's not
(41:55):
disguising it by well. I guess he did suggest that
maybe he'd be able to smooth relation. But Lebron, the
difference is he didn't really believe it. Ron James sincerely
believes uh that that he somehow remember the last time
the NBA went to China how it ended up.
Speaker 4 (42:14):
Asked him about the wigers, and then ask him about,
you know, ask him about ask him about pollution, what.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
About the vegas? Ask him about just snatching people up
off the street.
Speaker 4 (42:28):
Ask him about when they when they went through Bill
Plashki's room and rifled through all this stuff when he
was covering the Olympic.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
The secret text us a fine brought to you by
your so called Toyota dealers. We make it easy.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
I used to make my little league team run during
the game, run during the game and after the game
if they were effing around the whole time. They need
to respect the game and people need to be held
accurnible if you know, it starts from the beginning. And
if parents don't know how to show other kids how
to be a credible then hopefully a good coach will
like me.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I do think there's probably the suggestion that it's embarrassing
the individual, so you.
Speaker 4 (43:11):
Don't make kids run. In a rec league where it's
not like a it's a little league team where you
have kids in the neighborhood on the team that aren't good.
The job is to get the good players to be
nice to the bad players.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
That's the job.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
If you have if you have a travel team, You
can humiliate them all you want, because they're idiots already
for paying you. Her flippant, vapid comments are an insult
to all college football fans who smoke that pole every week.
(43:49):
You're right, we do smoke that pole smoking pole in Logan,
Utah on Saturday night. Matt Nice, Hey, p I'm really bummed.
AA is back? I miss black Adam.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Oh I learned that Logan, Utah the birthplace of Crumble Cookies.
Oh okay, how about that that is where it was birth? Well,
currently I'm looking for a yoga studio. You probably find
yourself a Crumble yoga Not so sure.
Speaker 4 (44:23):
I'm sure your producer, Kim Taints love that Fran Brown
told that guy to take off his chain super red State.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
No doubt.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
And this about the haircut, Matt, we still have that
haircut thing to give away.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
This week.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
You hammer and nails haircut.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
Carl in my youth taught me how to put the
Sports Illustrated around the Playboy while waiting for my haircut
as my mom was parked outside the huge barbershop window.
American Hero.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
It is a place where you can learn some things.
Speaker 4 (44:58):
Now, I mean, you just watched Lebron's the Shop and
it's almost you know, it's more. It's it's a lot
more educational than Meet the Press or anything like that.
The McLaughlin group.
Speaker 2 (45:14):
No doubt in my mind.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
I could solve this. I could be like dda drugma,
you know that stopped that war on the Ivory Coast.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (45:27):
Former Petrosen money guest, true true story. We'll be right
back with your word.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
Never saw to it.
