Final Hour on this Friday, and we've somehow managed to
limp towards the finish line. No Fritzy, no Polly, no problem.
It's a meat Friday at that and we have reverse
seared Jimmy Tura Ribbis and something called funeral potatoes. And
I guess Tyler was trying to be funny. He said, Hey,
(00:26):
we'll have funeral potatoes as the Oakland A's say goodbye
to Oakland. They're a cheesy potato casserole. We'll talk to
the great baseball writer Bob Nightingale here in a moment
he was there. Tailgate Moonshine. You still have a chance

Some of the headlines here the Giants they lost by
five points, the over under. The point spread was five
(01:10):
and a half. Dallas Beach, New York Melik Neighbors out
with a concussion. The White Sox hold off history again.
Final weekend of the regular season Big college football weekend,
including Georgia at Alabama. The A's are done in Oakland
and after a two year stop in Sacramento, will end
up in Las Vegas, which is where we bring in
(01:31):
Bob Nightingale, USA Today Baseball columnist. How did we get
to this point, Bob, where Oakland is losing their A's
to Las Vegas?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
What's been going on.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
About twenty years?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I mean they've been running a new ballpark since two
thousand and five. Resident John Fisher bought the team with
Lou Wolf and they wanted to go to San Jose.
The Giants blocked them, tried five different places, nothing, nothing worked.
Follow these surrendered and say, you know what we're done.
We're going to Las Vegas. So it's too bad. I
(02:05):
meant the crowd they got yesterday, the crowd they got
this past homestand and that if that was going on
all along, they never left.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
What kind of stadium are they going to move into
in Vegas? In a couple of years, you'll be read.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Talked about one you know, uh, you know glass let's
you know, let's let's see clamorous everything you want. But
you know, next three years, I mean Sacramento in the
Marrior League Ballpark, so it'd be a little tough to
attract some pre agents in that place. But Vegas, we'll
see how it works. I still have my doubts. Uh,
you know, in Phoenix where I live, it's a fifth
(02:40):
largest in the country, and they have they struggle to
make it work. I don't know Vega's going to fly
in the Vegas in the summertime and want to go
to a baseball game.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, that's what I was wondering about. I think if
you made it a more of an intimate stadium like
thirty five thousand had a retractable roof there. But I
don't know what the baseball climate is going to be. Well,
I should say the baseball fan climate is going to
be for a team that Oakland, you know, didn't really support,
(03:09):
and now Vegas is going to be diehard Oakland A's fans.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't see either. I mean the Raiders it works
of course because playing you know, nine home games, but
to play eighty one. I don't know, I don't see it.
I mean the diehard A's fans, some will follow them
up to Sacramento, know about hour and a half, two
hour drive, but they're not going to fall into Las Vegas.
And you know, even guys like Bryce Harper or Las
(03:35):
Vegas native said, I don't think it's going to work.
Expansion team will work, but not somebody else's rejects.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, that's what I'm just wondering about that that you have.
This is it two years in Sacramento or three years?
A minimum of three, so three for sure, and the
dam's not ready. It could be four, but yeah, minimum
three years. What role did the commissioner play in this happening?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
It really kind of started under buds ceiling. Remember when
they gave the team to John Fish and Lou Wolf.
Lou Wolf was Bud's arattorney brother at University of Wisconsin,
and so he's supposed to get some kind of favor Nemverer.
Now that area San Jose and all that used to
belong to the A's they gave it to the Giants, saying,
(04:22):
you know what, we don't want you to move to
Tampa Bay. Here we'll help you out here, and giants
never give it back. So they foll along, Okay, we'll
be allowed to move to Fremont, San Jose something like that.
So the giants have been very complicit this whole thing.
Now they got the entire northern California to themselves. Nothing's
gonna be a gold mine.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
But could the commissioner see, I know he wants new
business and everybody wants to be in Vegas, but I
just I think the relocation fee didn't he waive that?
So that to me, you know, he was ready to
put them in the hov lane and send him to Vegas.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
He was, you're right. I mean what he did was saying,
you know what, I'm tired of it. We've given Oakland
twenty years to figure this out. They haven't figured out.
I'm done with it. Wherever you guys want to go,
go ahead, and uh, you know, Vegas stepped up. They're
gonna give them about three hundred and fifty million dollars
in public funding, and uh yeah, I mean everybody blames
John Fisher, but you know, like Dave Stewart said, Ricky
(05:25):
Henderson said, blames to go all around. Like the age
is the first team to leave that place, just the
last team, last team to leave, you know, with the
Warriors and Raiders volting before them.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Have you run out of ways to describe Sho Tani?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
I have.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I mean, it's unbelievable, you know. I think I do
think some people will get carried away. The fifty to
fifties very cool, but with the new rules that was
you know, chilling bases and you know the pickoff throws
me Ricky Henderson probately stole two hundred bases, but unbelievable year.
But I do think Dan, after what we've seen, how
long is this guy going to pitch? He'll pitch next year,
(06:03):
how much longer? I think he loves hitting. I think
he only pitches because he knows he can do it.
I don't see him pitching, you know, much longer than
a couple of years. I think hitting is just you know,
too valuable.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, because he's not going to put up these numbers
if he was pitching.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And no, he's sort of not going to run the
bases like this, even if Dave Roberts said, you're not
going to sacrifice your body and do all that, but
you still have to pitch every five days, so yeah,
we may never see this offen some season again by
him until he stops pitching.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Good to talk to you, Bob, Thanks for joining us, pleasant,
Thank you. That's Bob Nightingale USA Today Baseball columnists. There.
We get some phone calls in here coming up. We'll
talk some college football as well. And H Kelly in Kansas,
Hi Kel, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
IDP and Dannett one and Dannette two. How are you
guys just morning?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Everything's great? Yes it is, Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I have a question for the Giants fans. I noticed
the stadium was pretty full last night, and I just
wondered if they thought this was one of the few
games that they would win this season.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I don't know if it was a I'd like to
know the percentage of Cowboy fans to Giants fans last night,
because Cowboy fans they travel, and I'm gonna I don't
think it was fifty to fifty, but I'd say the
Cowboys were well represented. They were five and a half
point underdogs at home. I think they're still trying to
(07:39):
figure out who they are. I love Malik Neighbors, but
like Daniel Jones, is the over underpassing yards was two
hundred and one, so it's not like there was going
to be this offensive explosion. I think they thought it
was going to be low scoring and Dallas needed to
have a clean game, which they did. They end up
winning by five points.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Yes, Mark the Cowboys fans or the Cowboys, they're one
of the few teams where, no matter where they play,
it's never a true road game because you're always here
cheers for them. It's maybe them, the forty nine Ers, Raiders, Steelers.
I'm trying to think of maybe a couple other like
National Packers, a couple of national teams like and I
think the Chiefs are becoming that now because they've been
(08:22):
good for so long, where in twenty years they'll be
the Cowboys, they'll be the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
As far as the fan base.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
I don't you know.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's weird because if you talk to Cowboy fans, it's
because their dad, maybe their dad's dad, they were Cowboy
fans and it's handed down, and so you become a
Cowboy fan whether you wanted to or not. It's like
your dad rooted for the Cowboys and you're maybe his
dad rooted for the Cowboys. If you go back to
even the sixties with the Cowboys and then you have
(08:51):
the seventies. Once you start winning, that's when you develop
that fan base. Like the Steelers, how much of their
fan base around the country is based off of what
happened with the Steele Curtain, what happened with Chuck Mean,
Joe Green, Terry Bradshaw, franco Lynn Swan, John Stall were
the Niners with Now I go back to John Brody,
(09:13):
but they weren't you winning a super Bowl back then?
But then you get Montana, you have Steve Young, you
win super Bowls. Now you have that fan base the Packers.
The Packers go back to you know, Vince with the
first couple of Super Bowls that they won and Bart
Starr and you could name all of those players, name
the offensive lineman there. I mean, they became household names.
(09:36):
Therefore you take that with you. So if that's back
in the sixties late sixties, they became the first dynasty
in modern football because they won the first two Super Bowls. Now,
prior to that, the Cleveland Browns were the dominating team.
But you start to win super Bowls now it became different.
And the Green Bay Packers winning those first two Super Bowls,
(09:57):
beating the Chiefs and the Raiders.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Yes, Marv, and all of those teams had maybe two
or three different errors where they were great. Like the
Cowboys in the nineties. I have a bunch of friends
same age as me, forty. They love the Cowboys because
of what they did in the nineties and so on
and so forth.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Well, that's sometimes all you need is a little bit
of a refresher course of hey, we won. Now, you know,
we can move on from what happened in the seventies. Now,
you know, Doomsday Defense or Roger Stambacher. Now we won,
and they lived off They've lived off the fumes of
those Super Bowls for thirty years. And so you're you
(10:35):
have an entire generation that hasn't won anything with Dallas.
But Dad will tell them, hey, you know what, back
in our day, we won three super Bowls. Now the
Steelers win a Super Bowl occasionally, which they've done. Packers
win a Super Bowl occasionally, which they've done. You know,
the Niners getting to a Super Bowl.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So that's all those are those fan bases that they
stay engaged because they have a long history. Let's see
Riley in Nebraska. Hi, Riley, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (11:10):
Hey man?
Speaker 11 (11:10):
How're we going?
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Great?
Speaker 10 (11:11):
Riley Good was wondering what your favorite Adam Stanley movie was?
Speaker 11 (11:17):
And also, uh, with today's.
Speaker 10 (11:21):
Football world, do you think it's easier for teams like
Dallas to sign a receiver or a running back? And
if they did, do you think CD Lamb would become
like Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I don't think with his build they're going to put
him back there you're gonna I'm not gonna spend that
kind of money on a guy who's going to get
tackled a lot. I want CD to be in space
where he can kind of control when he gets hit,
how he gets hit. I don't And he wouldn't be
a Christian McCaffrey. He'd be a debo type of hybrid player.
(11:55):
I don't know who they're going to get for running back.
I mean, you're gonna pick pick up somebody. Who are
you going to pick up?
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Who's going to be this year's Joe Flacco?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
But I don't know if you can just go out
there and go, we're going to pick up that running
back you got Zeke, you brought him in for a year.
I thought it was a mistake. I thought it was
a mistake to even re sign him. But Jerry is
weirdly loyal, sometimes to a fault. But yeah, are you
(12:25):
going to get another receiver? I get, I don't know.
I don't know who's out there not combing the waiver
wires here, but I will. I'll do that for this audience.
Justin in Virginia, Hi, Justin, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (12:38):
Well, good morning.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
I just wanted to answer scenes poll of Cowboys playoffs
chance winning Super Bowl chances. I'm loll no, and Marvin's
absolutely right. I'm forty years old. I jumped on the
bandwagon when I was eight during the ninety two season. Yeah,
and unfortunately have stayed on ever since. I know Jerry's
(13:01):
not totally to blame, but under his stewardship as both
owner and unfortunately GM, they haven't proved anything to me
that they're gonna reach even the NFC championship anytime soon.
And honestly, I don't think still get there until after
he's gone, and maybe his oldest son will do better.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
All right, thank you? Justin Justin sounded break down.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
Should we do a wellness check on him?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I mean I guess by comparison, we have Shae and
Irving and we haven't even heard from Shaye today. Maybe
that's good that we don't hear from Shaye today considering
the way he sounded on Monday.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
That was.
Speaker 12 (13:44):
One of my favorite things though, is that even after
a win, he sounds terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
What do you mean, it's terrible as if.
Speaker 12 (13:50):
She still won.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
But he can't change like that. He's stuck with this.
He grew up a Cowboy fan because we always say, oh,
it just change, you know, go ahead, pick a new team.
And then he's he's imprisoned by this. He can't yeh can't.
And imagine watching those games. Every he knows his season
(14:13):
is going to end poorly. He does, he doesn't know how,
but he knows it's going to end in a bad way.
You make the playoffs. If you make the playoffs, you
lose a home game in the playoffs. Just imagine that
impending doom. It's you're watching a movie and you know
it's not going to end well for somebody, but you
(14:33):
got to watch the movie. That's what it's been like
for Cowboy fans. You're reading a book, you know that
it doesn't end well. Because you've read this book before.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
It's like watching Titanic. Oh, what what's gonna happen? Yeah,
we know.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't know if it's exactly the Titanic, but it
doesn't end well, it's just it'll it'll end differently, but
still it'll be a bad, bad day for and Irvin
Alex in Utah. Hi, Alex, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (15:05):
As it going?
Speaker 10 (15:05):
Dan?
Speaker 11 (15:06):
Good to talk to you guys.
Speaker 13 (15:08):
So I guess yeah, maybe just quickly weigh in on
the funeral potatoes. Now, I don't know if this story
is true, maybe it's just apocryphal, but my dad's fifth
generation Utah, and according to him, originally they were called
party potatoes, but over years of them being constantly served
(15:28):
at funerals, they became funeral potatoes. So I again, I
don't know if that's true, but.
Speaker 11 (15:34):
That's what I've heard.
Speaker 13 (15:36):
And then just to kind of touch on the Thursday
night football, you kind of mentioned it, what kind of
a bummer the Thursday night games have been. And I
was looking at the schedule for the rest of the season,
and it looks like we've got a lot of division
rivalry games, and so I'm trying to get excited about it,
but I just I've been burned too many times by
Thursday Night games, and so I'm just wondering maybe Thursday's
(15:58):
just a curse day for football.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Well, okay, Amazon spent a lot of money, and if
you spend a lot of money, then all of a sudden,
the NFL goes, all right, we're going to give you
some good games. ESPN spend even more money to get
a better schedule for Monday Night Football, and then they
went out and improved the booth by bringing in Joe
and Troy. That's what the NFL wants. I mean, the
NFL gave Sunday Night Football the best schedule because you
(16:23):
had Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth. That's it. They knew
that that was going to be the best presentation of
all the football games, Sunday Night Football, and it has
been for decades now. Thursday Night Amazon, you're spending big money.
You want to keep them happy, you give them a
better schedule. My point is, it doesn't matter who's playing.
(16:44):
I still think it's difficult to play a game on
Sunday and play a game on Thursday, and ask somebody
to play a game a divisional game and you're on
the road. It's just the odds of having a good game,
clean game. How many flags were there? They were like
twelve in the first got to the point where I
laughed when there wasn't a flag. I'm like, what no
(17:06):
flag on the plane? Even Al Michaels is exasperated, and
I get it. It's tough watching that, but it's like
varying degrees of penalties where you go, I gotta call
that one, or can we just let that go? It's
in in the NBA, they'd let that go. That'd be like, Okay,
we're gonna let you play a little bit here. Watching
(17:28):
last night, it was just it was slowing down. A
guy was boring. It really was. It was boring. We'll
take a break here. Got some football coming up tonight,
by the way, Virginia Tech and Miami Washington and Rutgers
cam Wartime, Yeah, cam Ward coming out party, little Heisman
action there. Let me take a break back after this.
(17:49):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live a meat Friday part of my responsibilities aside
from preparing meat Friday quality control, I went out and
(18:09):
tried the Chimmy Tourist Stakes. Oh boy, and awesome. Awesome.
I didn't try the funeral potatoes yet, they weren't done,
but those Chimmy Tourist Stakes awesome. Sunday night match up
between Josh Allen and the Bills, Lamar Jackson and the
Ravens Sunday at seven Eastern on NBC and Peacock More
(18:31):
phone calls coming up. Andy Staples, our good buddy, covers
college football for on three Sports. He has recently attended
the Miami Florida game Texas Michigan, Alabama Wisconsin. Andy joins
iss on the program for some reason. Now I'm excited
about Fresno State and UNLV. What do you think there? Andy?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
I wonder how many people knew this game was happening,
knew what time it was happening to what channel it
was going to be on before you and these quarterback
decided to dip out in the middle of the week.
This week, as his three and oh team prepares for
its conference opener, Dan, It's one of the strangest things
I've ever seen. We kind of knew something like this
was going to happen eventually. Still when it came, is like, whoa,
(19:17):
what he's done? That's it?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Okay, But how did we get here? With a player
Leaves holy Cross, he says he's promised one hundred thousand
dollars by an assistant coach. There's no paper trail. You're
not supposed to entice a recruit with money if you're
on the coaching staff the collection. No you can now,
oh you can, okay. So he said that he didn't
(19:42):
entice him with money, So I like, how do you
prove any of this? You don't just press.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
That's the craziest part. And so one of the things
when when all these nil deals blow up, When when
there's a bad NIL deal that blows up, you can
usually find blame on every side. You can usually find
a lot of stupidity everywhere. And in this particular case,
so if you have an assistant coach promising X dollars,
the family needs to understand. But more importantly, the agent
(20:10):
representing the family, who works for a big agency by
the way, needs to understand, well, the coach is not
exactly authorized to do that, because he's not the one
who'd be paying it. The collective is who's paying it.
So if that dollar figure is thrown out there, the
first call you should make is to the collective to say, hey,
is this money here? Is this accurate? Because because if
(20:31):
it is, we have a lot to talk about. But
they didn't do that. And like you heard the agent's
boss say, well, he wasn't allowed to sign a contract
with the collective before he enrolled. Okay, apparently the entire
agency missed the giant federal case earlier this year that
got the NIL rules scrapped, where yeah, you can sign
(20:53):
a contract with a collective before you enroll. So they
absolutely could have signed a contract. They didn't start negotiating
until August though. And what's interesting about this, though, is
given you and LV situation where they're three and zero,
they've beaten two Big twelve teams, they have Syracuse next week,
they could easily win the Mountain West and be a
(21:13):
playoff team if they do it. Did all this well,
if it's that important to you, you can come up
with the money. And in fact, I think there was
a casino owner who did pledge the money if they
needed to do it, and they decided not to, which
leads me to believe that they didn't necessarily think Matthew
Sluka was that critical to this run. They have a
(21:35):
guy named Hodjablique Williams who transferred in from the fighting
Campbell University Camels in North Carolina. He was with the
starters for all the spring, all the summer, and I
think they feel pretty comfortable with him. We'll find out
during the game against Presno State on Saturday whether they're
just blowing smoke here or if that's the truth.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
All right, let's recamp here. So if I'm going to
a university, the assistant coach says, hey, one hundred thousand dollars,
if you want to come here, I then say, put
me in touch with a collective. Let's put it in writing. Yep,
so you can do that. That's all you do that.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Now, you couldn't do that, and so when they were
engaged in January, you probably couldn't do that. But by
March you could. And this guy was still at holy
Cross in March. He could have done this at any
point before he ended up going to UNLV.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Andy Staples covers college football for on three Sports. You
got the big showdown with Alabama and Georgia and this
is a perception game for me with Alabama, Kaitlin de Boor,
because now if you beat Kirby Smart, you beat Georgia
Jalen Milroe if he would happen. You know this, the
perception is Alabama. Okay, we now know why they got
(22:51):
that guy, Jalen Milroe. We now know that he's a
legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate. How do you think this game
plays out?
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Though I have said all week on my show that
I think Alabama's gonna win this game, that I think
this is going to be the one where we se
Jalen Molrose Heisman moment. I got a phone call yesterday
from somebody who talked to some coaches who played some
of these teams, and They're like, you know you're wrong
about this. George is gonna come in there and smash them.
I'm like, no, No, I have faith here. I do
(23:19):
think Alabama is insanely talented. I think Alabama probably the
second most talented roster in America behind Ohio State right now.
And Georgia has a very talented roster too, Like if
if Alabama's two, George is probably three. But I think
Alabama's built really well. This season. We've seen them struggle
for three quarters exactly against USF and that was when
(23:41):
both their starting offensive tackles were out. Both of their
starting offensive tackles played against Wisconsin. They looked amazing. They're
going to be playing in this game. George is still
recovering from losing its best offensive lineman to injury. I
think Alabama wins.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
This game.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Comfortably.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
No, there are no comfortable games against Kirby Smart's Georgia
dan I had a trivia question to get asked in
my mailbag the other.
Speaker 11 (24:06):
Day, but it is in.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
George is favored in this game, right, Yes, a road
favorite at Alabama, which is unheard of.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
When's the last time that happened.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
It was a long time trying to remember. There was
a Georgia Alabama game during the Mark rickt era where
I think Georgia might have been favored and Alabama just
absolutely smashed him. Now, I don't think anybody's getting smashed
in this game one way or the other. I think
this is going to be a very close game. I'm
really excited to see it. My fear for Georgia Dan
(24:36):
is we have not really seen who scares you down
the field for them, Last year was Lad McConaughey and
brock Bowers. This year there's not really been that person.
And like Alabama, I can tell you exactly who it is.
It's Ryan Williams, who you're gonna hear on the broadcast
fifty times. That he's seventeen years old, makes it no
less amazing every time.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Other game that we should can't. How about upset alert,
how about little against Notre Dame.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
It's crazy that we're even talking about it like it
would be an upset. Now it's a pretty close point spread.
I think it's four and a half. Notre Dame favored.
Louisville crushed Notre Dame last year, crushed him. Now this
is at Notre Dame instead of at Louisville, and obviously
the teams are a little different because of what happened
out of the transfer portal. But Jeff Brahm has done
a really good job at Louisville and that was a
program that really retooled its roster through the portal this year,
(25:25):
and in fact, you haven't even seen it at full
strength yet because they have a receiver named Colin Lacey
from South Alabama who's been hurt and we don't even
know if he's gonna play in this game either. But
you got Tyler Shook at quarterback, who was one of
those five star guys, was at Oregon, it never worked,
he goes to Texas Tech. He was never healthy. Well
he's healthy now and it maybe he fulfills all that promise.
(25:46):
I think Louisville probably has the better.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
QB in this matchup.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Really, Okay, I've got Louisville getting seven against Notre Dame.
This according to it early in the week, it was
four and a half.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
So yeah, the disagrees with me, but I appreciate that
because I got in on a Louisville at four and
a half, because I've.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Picked Louisville cover. How do you think morale is at USC?
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Well, the Bar Alexander leaving situation, I think is one
of the deals. So Bar Alexander, for those who don't know,
defensive tackle who transferred from Georgia, was considered a huge
get at the time, but he's been kind of an issue,
threatened to leave in the spring, isn't playing as much
as he wanted to, and now he's leaving. I don't
think that's gonna be a big problem for USC. I
think the bigger thing is just figure out, Okay, how
(26:34):
did we get beat by Michigan when we knew they
couldn't throw the ball. I still think that USC is
in a better place than they were the last couple
of years because I think Lincoln Riley it feels to
me like he has decided defense actually matters. They are
practicing in a way that defense matters. You see them
making open field tackles. Did they get beat in the
(26:57):
Michigan game?
Speaker 8 (26:58):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Are they going to play an offensive line as good
as Michigan are back as good as Coloe Mullings the
rest of their schedule? Probably not? So I do think
that they're going to be okay. Are they going to
beat Penn State? Are they going to win the Big
Big Ten?
Speaker 9 (27:13):
No?
Speaker 5 (27:14):
I don't think they're going to do that, but they're
going to get better, and I think if you build
on that, you got something.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Before I let you go. We brought this up yesterday.
Could you see a scenario where team qualifies for the playoffs?
Star player says, I'd like to get more money.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
M hm oh yeah, Oh that's the whole thing. Oh
I thought they were leaving or yo, yeah, I mean
that happens now, Dan, That happened all year last year
at various teams. So yeah, you're a free agent every
day in this system and the time. The only way
they can make that stop is find a way to
(27:52):
make the players employees, get them unionized, and bargain a
CBA with them. But here's the thing, this is the
part that people don't understand. It's never going to get
better than it is now for players. If I'm a player,
I'm like, I don't want to be in a union,
I don't want a CBA. Let's just keep this money
coming because right now, there's nothing the schools can do
(28:14):
that won't get them sued and that they won't lose
in court. They can't make rules that won't get knocked
down by the courts. So if I'm a player, I'm like,
let's go. However, just bring it on now. I do
think there are negative consequences for that sort of thing
what you just said, Like, if I'm an NFLGM and
I see that I don't want that player on my team,
I don't want that player anywhere near my team, And
(28:36):
I think that that hopefully is one of the negative
incentives that that stops people from doing something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, but we had Christian McCaffery and Leonard Fornatt Fournette
not playing in a bowl game. When they're like, oh
my god, what's that going to do to their draft stock?
It did nothing to their drafts that that was a
bowl game.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
That was there was no championship on the line. So
that's the difference. And I think, and I may be wrong,
may be being too idealistic about this. It may be
that they are like, hey, you're you're a businessman, we
run a business. Let's go. But I just I think
that would be problematic for me because at that point
you've gotten most of the way you've got to. We're
(29:15):
talking about playoff teams, so we're probably talking about big
time schools where they're getting pretty big money deals. Like
it would take a lot of cojones for somebody to
try to pull that.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Have a good weekend, Andy, thanks for joining us. As always,
Thank you, Dan. It's Andy Staples cover's college football for
on three Sports. We get some more phone calls coming up.
This is the Joker, was at media day, and you
know he's excited about something like that. Here is Nicola Jokic.
(29:48):
Nicolo welcome back, first and foremost, is now your tenth
media day? What do you remember about maybe your first
or second media day coming around here? Just has anything changed?
Speaker 5 (30:00):
All?
Speaker 4 (30:00):
No, every year is the same thing, and I don't
know why we're doing it every year. Everything is the same,
completely the same thing. So Nicolo, one thing that has
changed on media day? You have a very strong beard
or goateee. I was wondering if you're planning on keeping
that and do you like the menacing look? I need
more compliments, morel and more compliments.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
He's in mid season form already.
Speaker 12 (30:26):
Because he's just like being himself and it's funny. Yeah,
he's just speaking honestly and for some reason it's funny.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, Like we're not really listening to him, it's just
we're kind of that's his character of he's funny. He
doesn't want to be there at Media Day. He doesn't
want to show up for a victory parade. He just
wants to go home to his home country and play
with his horses.
Speaker 12 (30:46):
Yes, like if Steph or like Jalen Brown or somebody
does this is like, WHOA, what's his problem?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
He got an attitude. Yeah, he's just more of a No,
I do not know why we do this every year.
Nothing changes. Hey, so what about that beard you got?
Looking menacing? More compliments, more compliments, thank you? Yes, yes,
Marvin So.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
People made a big deal about him being way too
excited about the Serbia bronze medal and not the Nuggets championship,
but he just said, these are guys that I've played
with since I was thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen, and he's
one of those guys where it's like, look, the NBA
is a big deal to us, but for us, it
seems like for him it seems like, you know what,
(31:29):
I got to go overseas. I got to go back
to America. Like you know how people look at playing overseas,
That's how he looks at it, Like why I'm playing
in the NBA after I play overseas?
Speaker 2 (31:41):
He this is a job made it truly is a job.
He tells you it's a job. He approaches it like
it's a job. He's not one of those guys that
it feels like, God, I'm gonna miss the game so
much when it's over. He'll be like he's just gonna
leave one one day and never come back.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
That'll be it.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
He'll just like after this contract, I truly could see
him just go don't want to play no more? Going home?
Guessed right.
Speaker 12 (32:09):
You get paid a hell of a lot of money,
and it's an awesome job for sure. But it is
a job, you know what, Like what he's doing for
a living, it is.
Speaker 8 (32:19):
It is a job.
Speaker 12 (32:19):
It's a great one, it is, and you make an
insane amount of money, but it is it is work
for him.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Well, just the fact that when he was told about
the victory parade, you won the title parade.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
Yes, Mark, look in about ten years, win this hall
of fame. No, oh, no big rees.
Speaker 2 (32:40):

what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (35:16):
Good morning Dan, dan X, thanks for taking the call.
First time caller five eleven and a Stanley to twelve.
I wanted to talk you're talking about to the guy
from the Cowboys about how their you know, their drought
heads then, and I'm a Lions fan, so I understand
how too well what that's like. Last time we got
(35:39):
a playoff win before this year or last year was
ninety one, and that was oddly against the Cowboys. But
at least they do have some Super Bowls in their
history and we do not. But I'm just having the
Lions are doing great and also comes to fans traveling.
Take a look at the Honolulu Blue and.
Speaker 11 (35:57):
Those the Lions awaking lately.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
They have a lot of.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
People driving good. Good.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
I mean, you got a reason to travel and chance
a better chance to win when you have those games.
All right, this day in sports history, since Paulie's not here,
The White Sox in nineteen thirty nine host of the
first day night double header, and they promptly lost both
games to Cleveland. I remember when you could go to
a double header and you could actually pay the price
(36:25):
to go to that one game. It was a double header,
but you got to stay for both games. Now it's
say come in during the day and then you gotta leave,
and then you got to buy another ticket to come back.
Ah don't you love capitalism? Rock Range in nineteen eighty three,
first player since the RBI became an official stat in
(36:47):
nineteen twenty to steal seventy bases and drive in seventy
runs in the same season. Okay, Eric Davis did it,
Ronald Accounya Junior the third, Ricky Henderson a couple of times.
They've joined rock rains in the seventy seventy Club. Nineteen
eighty eight Sunday Night Football Bengals Ravens ESPN debuts the

the great inventions. Wow, now, great inventions in TV history
or great inventions in modern history?
Speaker 8 (37:25):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Right, Yeah, it might be both.
Speaker 8 (37:28):
Yeah, definitely both.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
And it like where would we be when it's one
of those where it was like, what did we do
before this? Well you just kind of guessed where things were? Yeah,
like how did somebody have to think of that?
Speaker 9 (37:43):
You know?
Speaker 11 (37:43):
Why was it?
Speaker 3 (37:44):
It?
Speaker 12 (37:44):
Just so obviously because it's so great.
Speaker 8 (37:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Final results of the poll question Seaton.
Speaker 12 (37:51):
Yeah, we're still with Are the Cowboys Super Bowl contenders
right now?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Lol?
Speaker 12 (37:56):
No, it's gotten up to at one point eighty two,
settled in at around seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Yeah. Yeah, I I never liked the Cowboys growing up,
even though I loved Roger Stabach and but I think
it was just the whole America's team that they just said, hey,
we're America's team, and like, did anybody argue, did anybody say, no,
you're not, we are? They just made the declaration. It's bold, Yeah, bold.
Speaker 8 (38:27):
Proclamation America, you speaking for all of us?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Yeah, like that's aggressive.
Speaker 12 (38:31):
Patriots are like, I don't know, I mean I feel
like Patriots sort of suggests. I mean, the whole the
whole thing started.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Lightly right over.
Speaker 7 (38:39):
Yeah, this whole thing we call America, yeah, started here,
started right New England, this area, not in Irving, Texas.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yeah, but it was just that they were America's team,
and I was like, but they're not my team. Made that.
That's a pretty good that's a pretty good business decision.
Who ever made that mark getting decision. Let me see
Bob and Montana try to squeeze in here, Bob before
we exit stage left?
Speaker 11 (39:08):
Oh hey, DP, So, given today's only two Danetes, say,
hypothetically there was a blizzard and the only Dannette who
could make it would be Fritzy, would it just be you?
Would Fritzi have on this show? And just so, how
do you think that would go?
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
We would do well? Yeah, Todd. Todd and I do
well together, not always on the show, but you know,
we we know what each other's thinking. It's just sometimes
Todd colors outside the lines, even though I try to
take his crayons away from him, and it's it's just
difficult the number of times when I say Todd no,
(39:43):
and then he goes right through the stop sign. Yep
yep uh seton. What did you learn today?
Speaker 12 (39:48):
That's pretty well said Mark Sanchez. Is rocking a man

Some of the headlines here the Giants they lost by
five points, the over under. The point spread was five
(01:10):
and a half. Dallas Beach, New York Melik Neighbors out
with a concussion. The White Sox hold off history again.
Final weekend of the regular season Big college football weekend,
including Georgia at Alabama. The A's are done in Oakland
and after a two year stop in Sacramento, will end
up in Las Vegas, which is where we bring in
(01:31):
Bob Nightingale, USA Today Baseball columnist. How did we get
to this point, Bob, where Oakland is losing their A's
to Las Vegas?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
What's been going on.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
About twenty years?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I mean they've been running a new ballpark since two
thousand and five. Resident John Fisher bought the team with
Lou Wolf and they wanted to go to San Jose.
The Giants blocked them, tried five different places, nothing, nothing worked.
Follow these surrendered and say, you know what we're done.
We're going to Las Vegas. So it's too bad. I
(02:05):
meant the crowd they got yesterday, the crowd they got
this past homestand and that if that was going on
all along, they never left.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
What kind of stadium are they going to move into
in Vegas? In a couple of years, you'll be read.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Talked about one you know, uh, you know glass let's
you know, let's let's see clamorous everything you want. But
you know, next three years, I mean Sacramento in the
Marrior League Ballpark, so it'd be a little tough to
attract some pre agents in that place. But Vegas, we'll
see how it works. I still have my doubts. Uh,
you know, in Phoenix where I live, it's a fifth
(02:40):
largest in the country, and they have they struggle to
make it work. I don't know Vega's going to fly
in the Vegas in the summertime and want to go
to a baseball game.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, that's what I was wondering about. I think if
you made it a more of an intimate stadium like
thirty five thousand had a retractable roof there. But I
don't know what the baseball climate is going to be. Well,
I should say the baseball fan climate is going to
be for a team that Oakland, you know, didn't really support,
(03:09):
and now Vegas is going to be diehard Oakland A's fans.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't see either. I mean the Raiders it works
of course because playing you know, nine home games, but
to play eighty one. I don't know, I don't see it.
I mean the diehard A's fans, some will follow them
up to Sacramento, know about hour and a half, two
hour drive, but they're not going to fall into Las Vegas.
And you know, even guys like Bryce Harper or Las
(03:35):
Vegas native said, I don't think it's going to work.
Expansion team will work, but not somebody else's rejects.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, that's what I'm just wondering about that that you have.
This is it two years in Sacramento or three years?
A minimum of three, so three for sure, and the
dam's not ready. It could be four, but yeah, minimum
three years. What role did the commissioner play in this happening?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
It really kind of started under buds ceiling. Remember when
they gave the team to John Fish and Lou Wolf.
Lou Wolf was Bud's arattorney brother at University of Wisconsin,
and so he's supposed to get some kind of favor Nemverer.
Now that area San Jose and all that used to
belong to the A's they gave it to the Giants, saying,
(04:22):
you know what, we don't want you to move to
Tampa Bay. Here we'll help you out here, and giants
never give it back. So they foll along, Okay, we'll
be allowed to move to Fremont, San Jose something like that.
So the giants have been very complicit this whole thing.
Now they got the entire northern California to themselves. Nothing's
gonna be a gold mine.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
But could the commissioner see, I know he wants new
business and everybody wants to be in Vegas, but I
just I think the relocation fee didn't he waive that?
So that to me, you know, he was ready to
put them in the hov lane and send him to Vegas.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
He was, you're right. I mean what he did was saying,
you know what, I'm tired of it. We've given Oakland
twenty years to figure this out. They haven't figured out.
I'm done with it. Wherever you guys want to go,
go ahead, and uh, you know, Vegas stepped up. They're
gonna give them about three hundred and fifty million dollars
in public funding, and uh yeah, I mean everybody blames
John Fisher, but you know, like Dave Stewart said, Ricky
(05:25):
Henderson said, blames to go all around. Like the age
is the first team to leave that place, just the
last team, last team to leave, you know, with the
Warriors and Raiders volting before them.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Have you run out of ways to describe Sho Tani?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
I have.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I mean, it's unbelievable, you know. I think I do
think some people will get carried away. The fifty to
fifties very cool, but with the new rules that was
you know, chilling bases and you know the pickoff throws
me Ricky Henderson probately stole two hundred bases, but unbelievable year.
But I do think Dan, after what we've seen, how
long is this guy going to pitch? He'll pitch next year,
(06:03):
how much longer? I think he loves hitting. I think
he only pitches because he knows he can do it.
I don't see him pitching, you know, much longer than
a couple of years. I think hitting is just you know,
too valuable.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, because he's not going to put up these numbers
if he was pitching.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And no, he's sort of not going to run the
bases like this, even if Dave Roberts said, you're not
going to sacrifice your body and do all that, but
you still have to pitch every five days, so yeah,
we may never see this offen some season again by
him until he stops pitching.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Good to talk to you, Bob, Thanks for joining us, pleasant,
Thank you. That's Bob Nightingale USA Today Baseball columnists. There.
We get some phone calls in here coming up. We'll
talk some college football as well. And H Kelly in Kansas,
Hi Kel, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
IDP and Dannett one and Dannette two. How are you
guys just morning?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Everything's great? Yes it is, Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I have a question for the Giants fans. I noticed
the stadium was pretty full last night, and I just
wondered if they thought this was one of the few
games that they would win this season.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I don't know if it was a I'd like to
know the percentage of Cowboy fans to Giants fans last night,
because Cowboy fans they travel, and I'm gonna I don't
think it was fifty to fifty, but I'd say the
Cowboys were well represented. They were five and a half
point underdogs at home. I think they're still trying to
(07:39):
figure out who they are. I love Malik Neighbors, but
like Daniel Jones, is the over underpassing yards was two
hundred and one, so it's not like there was going
to be this offensive explosion. I think they thought it
was going to be low scoring and Dallas needed to
have a clean game, which they did. They end up
winning by five points.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Yes, Mark the Cowboys fans or the Cowboys, they're one
of the few teams where, no matter where they play,
it's never a true road game because you're always here
cheers for them. It's maybe them, the forty nine Ers, Raiders, Steelers.
I'm trying to think of maybe a couple other like
National Packers, a couple of national teams like and I
think the Chiefs are becoming that now because they've been
(08:22):
good for so long, where in twenty years they'll be
the Cowboys, they'll be the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
As far as the fan base.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
I don't you know.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's weird because if you talk to Cowboy fans, it's
because their dad, maybe their dad's dad, they were Cowboy
fans and it's handed down, and so you become a
Cowboy fan whether you wanted to or not. It's like
your dad rooted for the Cowboys and you're maybe his
dad rooted for the Cowboys. If you go back to
even the sixties with the Cowboys and then you have
(08:51):
the seventies. Once you start winning, that's when you develop
that fan base. Like the Steelers, how much of their
fan base around the country is based off of what
happened with the Steele Curtain, what happened with Chuck Mean,
Joe Green, Terry Bradshaw, franco Lynn Swan, John Stall were
the Niners with Now I go back to John Brody,
(09:13):
but they weren't you winning a super Bowl back then?
But then you get Montana, you have Steve Young, you
win super Bowls. Now you have that fan base the Packers.
The Packers go back to you know, Vince with the
first couple of Super Bowls that they won and Bart
Starr and you could name all of those players, name
the offensive lineman there. I mean, they became household names.
(09:36):
Therefore you take that with you. So if that's back
in the sixties late sixties, they became the first dynasty
in modern football because they won the first two Super Bowls. Now,
prior to that, the Cleveland Browns were the dominating team.
But you start to win super Bowls now it became different.
And the Green Bay Packers winning those first two Super Bowls,
(09:57):
beating the Chiefs and the Raiders.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Yes, Marv, and all of those teams had maybe two
or three different errors where they were great. Like the
Cowboys in the nineties. I have a bunch of friends
same age as me, forty. They love the Cowboys because
of what they did in the nineties and so on
and so forth.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Well, that's sometimes all you need is a little bit
of a refresher course of hey, we won. Now, you know,
we can move on from what happened in the seventies. Now,
you know, Doomsday Defense or Roger Stambacher. Now we won,
and they lived off They've lived off the fumes of
those Super Bowls for thirty years. And so you're you
(10:35):
have an entire generation that hasn't won anything with Dallas.
But Dad will tell them, hey, you know what, back
in our day, we won three super Bowls. Now the
Steelers win a Super Bowl occasionally, which they've done. Packers
win a Super Bowl occasionally, which they've done. You know,
the Niners getting to a Super Bowl.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So that's all those are those fan bases that they
stay engaged because they have a long history. Let's see
Riley in Nebraska. Hi, Riley, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (11:10):
Hey man?
Speaker 11 (11:10):
How're we going?
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Great?
Speaker 10 (11:11):
Riley Good was wondering what your favorite Adam Stanley movie was?
Speaker 11 (11:17):
And also, uh, with today's.
Speaker 10 (11:21):
Football world, do you think it's easier for teams like
Dallas to sign a receiver or a running back? And
if they did, do you think CD Lamb would become
like Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I don't think with his build they're going to put
him back there you're gonna I'm not gonna spend that
kind of money on a guy who's going to get
tackled a lot. I want CD to be in space
where he can kind of control when he gets hit,
how he gets hit. I don't And he wouldn't be
a Christian McCaffrey. He'd be a debo type of hybrid player.
(11:55):
I don't know who they're going to get for running back.
I mean, you're gonna pick pick up somebody. Who are
you going to pick up?
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Who's going to be this year's Joe Flacco?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
But I don't know if you can just go out
there and go, we're going to pick up that running
back you got Zeke, you brought him in for a year.
I thought it was a mistake. I thought it was
a mistake to even re sign him. But Jerry is
weirdly loyal, sometimes to a fault. But yeah, are you
(12:25):
going to get another receiver? I get, I don't know.
I don't know who's out there not combing the waiver
wires here, but I will. I'll do that for this audience.
Justin in Virginia, Hi, Justin, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (12:38):
Well, good morning.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
I just wanted to answer scenes poll of Cowboys playoffs
chance winning Super Bowl chances. I'm loll no, and Marvin's
absolutely right. I'm forty years old. I jumped on the
bandwagon when I was eight during the ninety two season. Yeah,
and unfortunately have stayed on ever since. I know Jerry's
(13:01):
not totally to blame, but under his stewardship as both
owner and unfortunately GM, they haven't proved anything to me
that they're gonna reach even the NFC championship anytime soon.
And honestly, I don't think still get there until after
he's gone, and maybe his oldest son will do better.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
All right, thank you? Justin Justin sounded break down.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
Should we do a wellness check on him?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I mean I guess by comparison, we have Shae and
Irving and we haven't even heard from Shaye today. Maybe
that's good that we don't hear from Shaye today considering
the way he sounded on Monday.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
That was.
Speaker 12 (13:44):
One of my favorite things though, is that even after
a win, he sounds terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
What do you mean, it's terrible as if.
Speaker 12 (13:50):
She still won.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
But he can't change like that. He's stuck with this.
He grew up a Cowboy fan because we always say, oh,
it just change, you know, go ahead, pick a new team.
And then he's he's imprisoned by this. He can't yeh can't.
And imagine watching those games. Every he knows his season
(14:13):
is going to end poorly. He does, he doesn't know how,
but he knows it's going to end in a bad way.
You make the playoffs. If you make the playoffs, you
lose a home game in the playoffs. Just imagine that
impending doom. It's you're watching a movie and you know
it's not going to end well for somebody, but you
(14:33):
got to watch the movie. That's what it's been like
for Cowboy fans. You're reading a book, you know that
it doesn't end well. Because you've read this book before.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
It's like watching Titanic. Oh, what what's gonna happen? Yeah,
we know.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't know if it's exactly the Titanic, but it
doesn't end well, it's just it'll it'll end differently, but
still it'll be a bad, bad day for and Irvin
Alex in Utah. Hi, Alex, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (15:05):
As it going?
Speaker 10 (15:05):
Dan?
Speaker 11 (15:06):
Good to talk to you guys.
Speaker 13 (15:08):
So I guess yeah, maybe just quickly weigh in on
the funeral potatoes. Now, I don't know if this story
is true, maybe it's just apocryphal, but my dad's fifth
generation Utah, and according to him, originally they were called
party potatoes, but over years of them being constantly served
(15:28):
at funerals, they became funeral potatoes. So I again, I
don't know if that's true, but.
Speaker 11 (15:34):
That's what I've heard.
Speaker 13 (15:36):
And then just to kind of touch on the Thursday
night football, you kind of mentioned it, what kind of
a bummer the Thursday night games have been. And I
was looking at the schedule for the rest of the season,
and it looks like we've got a lot of division
rivalry games, and so I'm trying to get excited about it,
but I just I've been burned too many times by
Thursday Night games, and so I'm just wondering maybe Thursday's
(15:58):
just a curse day for football.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Well, okay, Amazon spent a lot of money, and if
you spend a lot of money, then all of a sudden,
the NFL goes, all right, we're going to give you
some good games. ESPN spend even more money to get
a better schedule for Monday Night Football, and then they
went out and improved the booth by bringing in Joe
and Troy. That's what the NFL wants. I mean, the
NFL gave Sunday Night Football the best schedule because you
(16:23):
had Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth. That's it. They knew
that that was going to be the best presentation of
all the football games, Sunday Night Football, and it has
been for decades now. Thursday Night Amazon, you're spending big money.
You want to keep them happy, you give them a
better schedule. My point is, it doesn't matter who's playing.
(16:44):
I still think it's difficult to play a game on
Sunday and play a game on Thursday, and ask somebody
to play a game a divisional game and you're on
the road. It's just the odds of having a good game,
clean game. How many flags were there? They were like
twelve in the first got to the point where I
laughed when there wasn't a flag. I'm like, what no
(17:06):
flag on the plane? Even Al Michaels is exasperated, and
I get it. It's tough watching that, but it's like
varying degrees of penalties where you go, I gotta call
that one, or can we just let that go? It's
in in the NBA, they'd let that go. That'd be like, Okay,
we're gonna let you play a little bit here. Watching
(17:28):
last night, it was just it was slowing down. A
guy was boring. It really was. It was boring. We'll
take a break here. Got some football coming up tonight,
by the way, Virginia Tech and Miami Washington and Rutgers
cam Wartime, Yeah, cam Ward coming out party, little Heisman
action there. Let me take a break back after this.
(17:49):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live a meat Friday part of my responsibilities aside
from preparing meat Friday quality control, I went out and
(18:09):
tried the Chimmy Tourist Stakes. Oh boy, and awesome. Awesome.
I didn't try the funeral potatoes yet, they weren't done,
but those Chimmy Tourist Stakes awesome. Sunday night match up
between Josh Allen and the Bills, Lamar Jackson and the
Ravens Sunday at seven Eastern on NBC and Peacock More
(18:31):
phone calls coming up. Andy Staples, our good buddy, covers
college football for on three Sports. He has recently attended
the Miami Florida game Texas Michigan, Alabama Wisconsin. Andy joins
iss on the program for some reason. Now I'm excited
about Fresno State and UNLV. What do you think there? Andy?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
I wonder how many people knew this game was happening,
knew what time it was happening to what channel it
was going to be on before you and these quarterback
decided to dip out in the middle of the week.
This week, as his three and oh team prepares for
its conference opener, Dan, It's one of the strangest things
I've ever seen. We kind of knew something like this
was going to happen eventually. Still when it came, is like, whoa,
(19:17):
what he's done? That's it?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Okay, But how did we get here? With a player
Leaves holy Cross, he says he's promised one hundred thousand
dollars by an assistant coach. There's no paper trail. You're
not supposed to entice a recruit with money if you're
on the coaching staff the collection. No you can now,
oh you can, okay. So he said that he didn't
(19:42):
entice him with money, So I like, how do you
prove any of this? You don't just press.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
That's the craziest part. And so one of the things
when when all these nil deals blow up, When when
there's a bad NIL deal that blows up, you can
usually find blame on every side. You can usually find
a lot of stupidity everywhere. And in this particular case,
so if you have an assistant coach promising X dollars,
the family needs to understand. But more importantly, the agent
(20:10):
representing the family, who works for a big agency by
the way, needs to understand, well, the coach is not
exactly authorized to do that, because he's not the one
who'd be paying it. The collective is who's paying it.
So if that dollar figure is thrown out there, the
first call you should make is to the collective to say, hey,
is this money here? Is this accurate? Because because if
(20:31):
it is, we have a lot to talk about. But
they didn't do that. And like you heard the agent's
boss say, well, he wasn't allowed to sign a contract
with the collective before he enrolled. Okay, apparently the entire
agency missed the giant federal case earlier this year that
got the NIL rules scrapped, where yeah, you can sign
(20:53):
a contract with a collective before you enroll. So they
absolutely could have signed a contract. They didn't start negotiating
until August though. And what's interesting about this, though, is
given you and LV situation where they're three and zero,
they've beaten two Big twelve teams, they have Syracuse next week,
they could easily win the Mountain West and be a
(21:13):
playoff team if they do it. Did all this well,
if it's that important to you, you can come up
with the money. And in fact, I think there was
a casino owner who did pledge the money if they
needed to do it, and they decided not to, which
leads me to believe that they didn't necessarily think Matthew
Sluka was that critical to this run. They have a
(21:35):
guy named Hodjablique Williams who transferred in from the fighting
Campbell University Camels in North Carolina. He was with the
starters for all the spring, all the summer, and I
think they feel pretty comfortable with him. We'll find out
during the game against Presno State on Saturday whether they're
just blowing smoke here or if that's the truth.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
All right, let's recamp here. So if I'm going to
a university, the assistant coach says, hey, one hundred thousand dollars,
if you want to come here, I then say, put
me in touch with a collective. Let's put it in writing. Yep,
so you can do that. That's all you do that.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Now, you couldn't do that, and so when they were
engaged in January, you probably couldn't do that. But by
March you could. And this guy was still at holy
Cross in March. He could have done this at any
point before he ended up going to UNLV.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Andy Staples covers college football for on three Sports. You
got the big showdown with Alabama and Georgia and this
is a perception game for me with Alabama, Kaitlin de Boor,
because now if you beat Kirby Smart, you beat Georgia
Jalen Milroe if he would happen. You know this, the
perception is Alabama. Okay, we now know why they got
(22:51):
that guy, Jalen Milroe. We now know that he's a
legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate. How do you think this game
plays out?
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Though I have said all week on my show that
I think Alabama's gonna win this game, that I think
this is going to be the one where we se
Jalen Molrose Heisman moment. I got a phone call yesterday
from somebody who talked to some coaches who played some
of these teams, and They're like, you know you're wrong
about this. George is gonna come in there and smash them.
I'm like, no, No, I have faith here. I do
(23:19):
think Alabama is insanely talented. I think Alabama probably the
second most talented roster in America behind Ohio State right now.
And Georgia has a very talented roster too, Like if
if Alabama's two, George is probably three. But I think
Alabama's built really well. This season. We've seen them struggle
for three quarters exactly against USF and that was when
(23:41):
both their starting offensive tackles were out. Both of their
starting offensive tackles played against Wisconsin. They looked amazing. They're
going to be playing in this game. George is still
recovering from losing its best offensive lineman to injury. I
think Alabama wins.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
This game.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Comfortably.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
No, there are no comfortable games against Kirby Smart's Georgia
dan I had a trivia question to get asked in
my mailbag the other.
Speaker 11 (24:06):
Day, but it is in.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
George is favored in this game, right, Yes, a road
favorite at Alabama, which is unheard of.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
When's the last time that happened.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
It was a long time trying to remember. There was
a Georgia Alabama game during the Mark rickt era where
I think Georgia might have been favored and Alabama just
absolutely smashed him. Now, I don't think anybody's getting smashed
in this game one way or the other. I think
this is going to be a very close game. I'm
really excited to see it. My fear for Georgia Dan
(24:36):
is we have not really seen who scares you down
the field for them, Last year was Lad McConaughey and
brock Bowers. This year there's not really been that person.
And like Alabama, I can tell you exactly who it is.
It's Ryan Williams, who you're gonna hear on the broadcast
fifty times. That he's seventeen years old, makes it no
less amazing every time.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Other game that we should can't. How about upset alert,
how about little against Notre Dame.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
It's crazy that we're even talking about it like it
would be an upset. Now it's a pretty close point spread.
I think it's four and a half. Notre Dame favored.
Louisville crushed Notre Dame last year, crushed him. Now this
is at Notre Dame instead of at Louisville, and obviously
the teams are a little different because of what happened
out of the transfer portal. But Jeff Brahm has done
a really good job at Louisville and that was a
program that really retooled its roster through the portal this year,
(25:25):
and in fact, you haven't even seen it at full
strength yet because they have a receiver named Colin Lacey
from South Alabama who's been hurt and we don't even
know if he's gonna play in this game either. But
you got Tyler Shook at quarterback, who was one of
those five star guys, was at Oregon, it never worked,
he goes to Texas Tech. He was never healthy. Well
he's healthy now and it maybe he fulfills all that promise.
(25:46):
I think Louisville probably has the better.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
QB in this matchup.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Really, Okay, I've got Louisville getting seven against Notre Dame.
This according to it early in the week, it was
four and a half.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
So yeah, the disagrees with me, but I appreciate that
because I got in on a Louisville at four and
a half, because I've.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Picked Louisville cover. How do you think morale is at USC?
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Well, the Bar Alexander leaving situation, I think is one
of the deals. So Bar Alexander, for those who don't know,
defensive tackle who transferred from Georgia, was considered a huge
get at the time, but he's been kind of an issue,
threatened to leave in the spring, isn't playing as much
as he wanted to, and now he's leaving. I don't
think that's gonna be a big problem for USC. I
think the bigger thing is just figure out, Okay, how
(26:34):
did we get beat by Michigan when we knew they
couldn't throw the ball. I still think that USC is
in a better place than they were the last couple
of years because I think Lincoln Riley it feels to
me like he has decided defense actually matters. They are
practicing in a way that defense matters. You see them
making open field tackles. Did they get beat in the
(26:57):
Michigan game?
Speaker 8 (26:58):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Are they going to play an offensive line as good
as Michigan are back as good as Coloe Mullings the
rest of their schedule? Probably not? So I do think
that they're going to be okay. Are they going to
beat Penn State? Are they going to win the Big
Big Ten?
Speaker 9 (27:13):
No?
Speaker 5 (27:14):
I don't think they're going to do that, but they're
going to get better, and I think if you build
on that, you got something.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Before I let you go. We brought this up yesterday.
Could you see a scenario where team qualifies for the playoffs?
Star player says, I'd like to get more money.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
M hm oh yeah, Oh that's the whole thing. Oh
I thought they were leaving or yo, yeah, I mean
that happens now, Dan, That happened all year last year
at various teams. So yeah, you're a free agent every
day in this system and the time. The only way
they can make that stop is find a way to
(27:52):
make the players employees, get them unionized, and bargain a
CBA with them. But here's the thing, this is the
part that people don't understand. It's never going to get
better than it is now for players. If I'm a player,
I'm like, I don't want to be in a union,
I don't want a CBA. Let's just keep this money
coming because right now, there's nothing the schools can do
(28:14):
that won't get them sued and that they won't lose
in court. They can't make rules that won't get knocked
down by the courts. So if I'm a player, I'm like,
let's go. However, just bring it on now. I do
think there are negative consequences for that sort of thing
what you just said, Like, if I'm an NFLGM and
I see that I don't want that player on my team,
I don't want that player anywhere near my team, And
(28:36):
I think that that hopefully is one of the negative
incentives that that stops people from doing something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, but we had Christian McCaffery and Leonard Fornatt Fournette
not playing in a bowl game. When they're like, oh
my god, what's that going to do to their draft stock?
It did nothing to their drafts that that was a
bowl game.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
That was there was no championship on the line. So
that's the difference. And I think, and I may be wrong,
may be being too idealistic about this. It may be
that they are like, hey, you're you're a businessman, we
run a business. Let's go. But I just I think
that would be problematic for me because at that point
you've gotten most of the way you've got to. We're
(29:15):
talking about playoff teams, so we're probably talking about big
time schools where they're getting pretty big money deals. Like
it would take a lot of cojones for somebody to
try to pull that.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Have a good weekend, Andy, thanks for joining us. As always,
Thank you, Dan. It's Andy Staples cover's college football for
on three Sports. We get some more phone calls coming up.
This is the Joker, was at media day, and you
know he's excited about something like that. Here is Nicola Jokic.
(29:48):
Nicolo welcome back, first and foremost, is now your tenth
media day? What do you remember about maybe your first
or second media day coming around here? Just has anything changed?
Speaker 5 (30:00):
All?
Speaker 4 (30:00):
No, every year is the same thing, and I don't
know why we're doing it every year. Everything is the same,
completely the same thing. So Nicolo, one thing that has
changed on media day? You have a very strong beard
or goateee. I was wondering if you're planning on keeping
that and do you like the menacing look? I need
more compliments, morel and more compliments.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
He's in mid season form already.
Speaker 12 (30:26):
Because he's just like being himself and it's funny. Yeah,
he's just speaking honestly and for some reason it's funny.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, Like we're not really listening to him, it's just
we're kind of that's his character of he's funny. He
doesn't want to be there at Media Day. He doesn't
want to show up for a victory parade. He just
wants to go home to his home country and play
with his horses.
Speaker 12 (30:46):
Yes, like if Steph or like Jalen Brown or somebody
does this is like, WHOA, what's his problem?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
He got an attitude. Yeah, he's just more of a No,
I do not know why we do this every year.
Nothing changes. Hey, so what about that beard you got?
Looking menacing? More compliments, more compliments, thank you? Yes, yes,
Marvin So.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
People made a big deal about him being way too
excited about the Serbia bronze medal and not the Nuggets championship,
but he just said, these are guys that I've played
with since I was thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen, and he's
one of those guys where it's like, look, the NBA
is a big deal to us, but for us, it
seems like for him it seems like, you know what,
(31:29):
I got to go overseas. I got to go back
to America. Like you know how people look at playing overseas,
That's how he looks at it, Like why I'm playing
in the NBA after I play overseas?
Speaker 2 (31:41):
He this is a job made it truly is a job.
He tells you it's a job. He approaches it like
it's a job. He's not one of those guys that
it feels like, God, I'm gonna miss the game so
much when it's over. He'll be like he's just gonna
leave one one day and never come back.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
That'll be it.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
He'll just like after this contract, I truly could see
him just go don't want to play no more? Going home?
Guessed right.
Speaker 12 (32:09):
You get paid a hell of a lot of money,
and it's an awesome job for sure. But it is
a job, you know what, Like what he's doing for
a living, it is.
Speaker 8 (32:19):
It is a job.
Speaker 12 (32:19):
It's a great one, it is, and you make an
insane amount of money, but it is it is work
for him.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Well, just the fact that when he was told about
the victory parade, you won the title parade.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
Yes, Mark, look in about ten years, win this hall
of fame. No, oh, no big rees.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yes, take a break. If you're watching on Peacock, we'll

to one in a soft two seventy five, softy.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
I was curious.
Speaker 10 (34:37):
And next time you have saying irving on, you should
have ask Jay when he was in the Clint how
much apple sauce and cigarette tax he lost because of
the Cowboys betting on the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Oh okay, I'll bring that up on the next gambling
podcast there, but thank you, Big J. I don't know.

what's on your mind today?
Speaker 14 (35:16):
Good morning Dan, dan X, thanks for taking the call.
First time caller five eleven and a Stanley to twelve.
I wanted to talk you're talking about to the guy
from the Cowboys about how their you know, their drought
heads then, and I'm a Lions fan, so I understand
how too well what that's like. Last time we got
(35:39):
a playoff win before this year or last year was
ninety one, and that was oddly against the Cowboys. But
at least they do have some Super Bowls in their
history and we do not. But I'm just having the
Lions are doing great and also comes to fans traveling.
Take a look at the Honolulu Blue and.
Speaker 11 (35:57):
Those the Lions awaking lately.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
They have a lot of.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
People driving good. Good.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
I mean, you got a reason to travel and chance
a better chance to win when you have those games.
All right, this day in sports history, since Paulie's not here,
The White Sox in nineteen thirty nine host of the
first day night double header, and they promptly lost both
games to Cleveland. I remember when you could go to
a double header and you could actually pay the price
(36:25):
to go to that one game. It was a double header,
but you got to stay for both games. Now it's
say come in during the day and then you gotta leave,
and then you got to buy another ticket to come back.
Ah don't you love capitalism? Rock Range in nineteen eighty three,
first player since the RBI became an official stat in
(36:47):
nineteen twenty to steal seventy bases and drive in seventy
runs in the same season. Okay, Eric Davis did it,
Ronald Accounya Junior the third, Ricky Henderson a couple of times.
They've joined rock rains in the seventy seventy Club. Nineteen
eighty eight Sunday Night Football Bengals Ravens ESPN debuts the
(37:11):
first and ten line The yellow Line. That one of
the great inventions. Wow, now, great inventions in TV history
or great inventions in modern history?
Speaker 8 (37:25):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Right, Yeah, it might be both.
Speaker 8 (37:28):
Yeah, definitely both.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
And it like where would we be when it's one
of those where it was like, what did we do
before this? Well you just kind of guessed where things were? Yeah,
like how did somebody have to think of that?
Speaker 9 (37:43):
You know?
Speaker 11 (37:43):
Why was it?
Speaker 3 (37:44):
It?
Speaker 12 (37:44):
Just so obviously because it's so great.
Speaker 8 (37:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Final results of the poll question Seaton.
Speaker 12 (37:51):
Yeah, we're still with Are the Cowboys Super Bowl contenders
right now?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Lol?
Speaker 12 (37:56):
No, it's gotten up to at one point eighty two,
settled in at around seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Yeah. Yeah, I I never liked the Cowboys growing up,
even though I loved Roger Stabach and but I think
it was just the whole America's team that they just said, hey,
we're America's team, and like, did anybody argue, did anybody say, no,
you're not, we are? They just made the declaration. It's bold, Yeah, bold.
Speaker 8 (38:27):
Proclamation America, you speaking for all of us?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Yeah, like that's aggressive.
Speaker 12 (38:31):
Patriots are like, I don't know, I mean I feel
like Patriots sort of suggests. I mean, the whole the
whole thing started.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Lightly right over.
Speaker 7 (38:39):
Yeah, this whole thing we call America, yeah, started here,
started right New England, this area, not in Irving, Texas.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yeah, but it was just that they were America's team,
and I was like, but they're not my team. Made that.
That's a pretty good that's a pretty good business decision.
Who ever made that mark getting decision. Let me see
Bob and Montana try to squeeze in here, Bob before
we exit stage left?
Speaker 11 (39:08):
Oh hey, DP, So, given today's only two Danetes, say,
hypothetically there was a blizzard and the only Dannette who
could make it would be Fritzy, would it just be you?
Would Fritzi have on this show? And just so, how
do you think that would go?
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
We would do well? Yeah, Todd. Todd and I do
well together, not always on the show, but you know,
we we know what each other's thinking. It's just sometimes
Todd colors outside the lines, even though I try to
take his crayons away from him, and it's it's just
difficult the number of times when I say Todd no,
(39:43):
and then he goes right through the stop sign. Yep
