You've been in the show, man? Yeah, I was in

the show.
7
00:00:15.980 --> 00:00:17.219
I was in the show for 21 years.
8
00:00:19.469 --> 00:00:22.210

14
00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:41.329
Little bit long-winded he doesn't translate very well into our generation.
15
00:00:40.909 --> 00:00:46.929
And his jokes are terrible the show goes on here's
16
00:00:46.990 --> 00:00:48.469

17
00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:52.179
Hey, hey, score squad. Happy Tuesday afternoon. Thanks for tuning
18
00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.179
in to 95.3 99.1 The Score for the show with
19
00:00:55.219 --> 00:00:58.399
Tony G and Leo. I'm Tony G. I think that's
20
00:00:58.460 --> 00:00:59.079
Leo over there.
21
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.840
Hello, folks. So good to be with you today on
22
00:01:01.859 --> 00:01:05.560
this beautiful Tuesday. It is fall. It's definitely fall.
23
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:08.140
Happy fall, y'all.
24
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.959
I'm not typically a fall person because that just means
25
00:01:11.019 --> 00:01:13.909
winter is very close, but it's been a decent fall
26
00:01:13.939 --> 00:01:14.310
so far.
27
00:01:14.650 --> 00:01:16.329
I'm not a big fall person either. I'd like to
28
00:01:16.349 --> 00:01:17.030
stay standing up.
29
00:01:17.909 --> 00:01:18.370
Well, you know.
30
00:01:19.769 --> 00:01:21.030
At my age, you never know.
31
00:01:21.250 --> 00:01:22.390
Yeah, that's true.
32
00:01:22.989 --> 00:01:24.250
I could take a fall at any time.
33
00:01:24.269 --> 00:01:25.640
Tony, my back!
34
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.579
I've fallen and I can't get up! And he'll be like,
35
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:30.319
get up you still.
36
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.180
Yeah, that's right. I'd probably take advantage. I'd drop an
37
00:01:33.219 --> 00:01:33.980
elbow while you're down.
38
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.500
Yeah, just do it. Just end it.
39
00:01:35.659 --> 00:01:36.719
Yep, just take a dip in it.
40
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.540
I told you to end it again before we started
41
00:01:39.579 --> 00:01:39.959
the show.
42
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:40.700
Oh, Bette Leal.
43
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:41.760
Oh, he's funny.

60
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.419
I got breaking news, Leo. Breaking news brought to you
61
00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:41.539
by Northside True Value Hardware. When your Toro snowblower, lawnmower,
62
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:46.530
or news breaks, Northside True Value Hardware fixes it. Well, Tony,
63
00:02:46.949 --> 00:02:49.930
it's official. The Packers stink.
64
00:02:50.229 --> 00:02:52.090
Okay. Breaking news.
65
00:02:52.330 --> 00:02:58.120
Fox has moved... The Bear Packer game for week five
66
00:02:58.580 --> 00:03:04.759
from a 325 start to a noon kickoff. And if
67
00:03:04.780 --> 00:03:08.990
you go back in time, a quote from Mark Murphy.
68
00:03:09.189 --> 00:03:11.310
Here's the reality. If we have a lot of noon
69
00:03:11.409 --> 00:03:14.889
home games, we're a crappy team. And he said a
70
00:03:14.930 --> 00:03:16.949
different word that's kind of like crappy.
71
00:03:17.270 --> 00:03:19.270
Oh, I think I get where you're going.
72
00:03:19.289 --> 00:03:19.689
Yeah.
73
00:03:20.629 --> 00:03:24.229
Mark Murphy. Yeah, we miss you, man. A bunch of
74
00:03:24.289 --> 00:03:25.819
stiffs running this team now.
75
00:03:26.389 --> 00:03:28.229
Even Fox at this point is saying, we did not
76
00:03:28.270 --> 00:03:29.610
expect the Packers to be this bad.
77
00:03:30.310 --> 00:03:30.810
Exactly.
78
00:03:30.909 --> 00:03:33.039
They're planning for the Bears to whoop up on Green Bay.
79
00:03:33.060 --> 00:03:38.259
So the next two weeks, noon kickoffs. So that is, yeah,
80
00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:43.659
when I do my live read for the Polka pregame party,
81
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.000
that's going to change.
82
00:03:45.530 --> 00:03:45.990
That's true.
83
00:03:46.789 --> 00:03:46.949
Yeah.
84
00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:50.210
In fact, I'll have to probably reach out to Kramer
85
00:03:50.310 --> 00:03:51.150
and let him know.
86
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:53.740
The one from Seinfeld?
87
00:03:54.139 --> 00:03:59.240
Yeah, that one. You know, Kramer the Pokemon, the first
88
00:03:59.259 --> 00:04:01.580
time you met him at March Madness at Tanner's, you
89
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:03.960
were like, it's like having two Leos in the room.
90
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:05.639
Yes, pizza toppings.
91
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.650
He was like the original Tony G.
92
00:04:08.099 --> 00:04:08.530
That's true.
93
00:04:08.810 --> 00:04:13.490
Back when I first started in radio. I kind of
94
00:04:13.530 --> 00:04:18.329
had Kramer, and then I had Shane.
95
00:04:18.610 --> 00:04:19.110
Shane, yeah.
96
00:04:19.149 --> 00:04:22.110
And then I had... Justin Hull, and then I had
97
00:04:22.149 --> 00:04:25.610
Marcus Paff, and then I had Alex and BJ. BJ's
98
00:04:25.629 --> 00:04:27.930
the only one I didn't really change much.
99
00:04:28.689 --> 00:04:28.949
Really?
100
00:04:29.029 --> 00:04:31.209
He kind of kept his distance, but all the rest
101
00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:34.310
of them conformed to my way.
102
00:04:34.730 --> 00:04:35.269
Including me.
103
00:04:35.509 --> 00:04:37.550
And you are over the top. You just said it
104
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.660
just to Sandy. You just walked up to our sales
105
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.360
assistant and said, oh, hi, Sandy.
106
00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:43.319
Where did I get that from?
107
00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:47.779
I don't know. Well, I walk up, when I go
108
00:04:47.819 --> 00:04:49.339
to my desk, when I get in in the morning-
109
00:04:49.709 --> 00:04:51.990
She's sitting there, and I call her a different name
110
00:04:52.069 --> 00:04:54.000
every time. And she can't come up with a different
111
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.199
name for me. I'll go like, hey, Matilda. And she'll
112
00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:02.920
be like, hi, George. And then the next day I'll go, oh, hi, Wanda.
113
00:05:03.019 --> 00:05:07.259
I did Wanda today. She goes, hi, George. She says
114
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:08.300
George every time.
115
00:05:08.379 --> 00:05:09.060
That's her go-to.
116
00:05:09.180 --> 00:05:09.480
Yeah.
117
00:05:09.899 --> 00:05:12.879
I go, can't you think of anyone else? Any other
118
00:05:12.939 --> 00:05:13.480
male names?
119
00:05:13.509 --> 00:05:15.699
No. George is the only name that comes to mind.
120
00:05:15.740 --> 00:05:17.560
Well, you're putting me on the spot. I've been doing
121
00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:18.750
this for three years now.
122
00:05:20.259 --> 00:05:21.600
You'd think you'd have like a list.
123
00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:25.180
I'm like, hi, Alexa. Hi, Debbie. Hi, Ginger. Hi, Marianne.
124
00:05:25.579 --> 00:05:27.540
She says George every time. I come up with a
125
00:05:27.579 --> 00:05:30.259
different name every day. You'd think she would have something.
126
00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:32.160
You would say, well, she's something.
127
00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:34.899
Spend five minutes looking up guys' names.
128
00:05:36.370 --> 00:05:39.029
It's funny because she had a list on her bulletin board.
129
00:05:39.649 --> 00:05:40.949
And I don't know. I don't know what happened to
130
00:05:40.970 --> 00:05:44.480
my list, George. So anyway, that's your breaking news brought
131
00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:45.860
to you by Northside True Value Hardware.
132
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:50.040
Let's get into today's show menu.
133
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:52.279
This is a tasty burger.
134
00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:54.980
I can't usually get them because my girlfriend's a vegetarian,
135
00:05:55.220 --> 00:05:57.240
which pretty much makes me a vegetarian.
136
00:05:58.100 --> 00:05:59.759
I do love the taste of a good burger.
137
00:06:00.459 --> 00:06:02.459
Let's see what's on today's sports menu.
138
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:04.500
The hour number one sports menu brought to you by
139
00:06:04.540 --> 00:06:08.019

141
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.170
at Facebook.com slash Daniels Grill and Bar. Here's what's coming up.
142
00:06:15.569 --> 00:06:18.639
Got a new drop to unveil. You'll like this one.
143
00:06:18.649 --> 00:06:18.990
What?
144
00:06:19.029 --> 00:06:19.709
You'll like this one.
145
00:06:20.730 --> 00:06:23.069
Who's it regarding? Oh, it's from yesterday.
146
00:06:23.089 --> 00:06:24.370
Yeah, that's right. Okay.
147
00:06:24.870 --> 00:06:26.120
Tony did something good finally.
148
00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:29.939
Bears won on Monday Night Football. Case Keenum carves up
149
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.040
the Eagles. My goodness.
150
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:32.660
It was something else, my friends.
151
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.110
Buck it up today. How about some Buck it Up?
152
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:35.939
Yeah, why not?
153
00:06:36.259 --> 00:06:36.759
Might as well.
154
00:06:36.899 --> 00:06:41.220
Maybe something optimistic for the Milwaukee Bucs. Highly unlikely.
155
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.120
What to expect after the Giannis era has just come
156
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:44.430
to an end.
157
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.160
I don't think anyone knows what to expect.
158
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:51.730
No, I don't. 1265 today. Offensive line update from the Packers.
159
00:06:51.810 --> 00:06:53.689
Touch on the score poll today as well after the
160
00:06:53.730 --> 00:06:57.430
Packers added to their offensive line room. In hour number two,
161
00:06:57.470 --> 00:07:00.569
we'll talk crew. Pros and cons to the first round
162
00:07:00.610 --> 00:07:05.009
bye for the Brewers. MLB wildcard round starts today. Let's
163
00:07:05.029 --> 00:07:07.540
take a look at the matchups quickly. Brian Butch hops
164
00:07:07.579 --> 00:07:10.560
aboard the program at 120 for Bucky Banter. We'll award
165
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:12.399
stiff of the day, and we'll wrap it up at
166
00:07:12.420 --> 00:07:13.920
the end of the show. That is your show menu.
167
00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:15.790
The hour number one sports menu is brought to you
168
00:07:15.810 --> 00:07:19.589
by Tanner's Grill and Bar West. All right, so this
169
00:07:19.629 --> 00:07:22.149
new drop, you know, one of my new favorite drops
170
00:07:23.970 --> 00:07:27.170
came from Bill Scott. Not last time we had him on.
171
00:07:27.209 --> 00:07:29.720
That was Monday, but the time before that. And it
172
00:07:29.740 --> 00:07:31.139
sounds like something like this.
173
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:32.220
Let me ask you this, Tony.
174
00:07:32.459 --> 00:07:33.939
What the hell do you know about play calling?
175
00:07:34.350 --> 00:07:36.089
So from yesterday's time with Bill Scott.
176
00:07:36.209 --> 00:07:39.990
I wrote the questions for you, and suddenly Bill was
177
00:07:40.069 --> 00:07:40.649
on board with you.
178
00:07:40.670 --> 00:07:41.949
He was all of a sudden praising me.
179
00:07:41.970 --> 00:07:42.449
Yeah.
180
00:07:42.649 --> 00:07:43.370
And this is what he said.
181
00:07:43.550 --> 00:07:45.129
I would agree with you 100%, Tony.
182
00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:46.269
There you go.
183
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:46.649
Boom.
184
00:07:46.889 --> 00:07:47.720
Well, now you got them both.
185
00:07:48.019 --> 00:07:48.240
I do.
186
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:50.180
Now you got, when you're an idiot, you play the,
187
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.180
what the hell do you know about play calling?
188
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:52.519
Yeah.
189
00:07:52.860 --> 00:07:57.459
And when you do something well, we'll play the other one.
190
00:07:57.699 --> 00:07:58.240
Yeah.
191
00:07:58.319 --> 00:07:59.920
I would agree with you 100%, Tony.
192
00:08:00.339 --> 00:08:01.879
Or when Leo's back hurts.
193
00:08:01.899 --> 00:08:02.019
Ah!
194
00:08:04.610 --> 00:08:05.949
Oh, my back.
195
00:08:06.930 --> 00:08:08.589
I threw out my bag.
196
00:08:08.629 --> 00:08:10.350
Just take one dip and end it.
197
00:08:10.370 --> 00:08:13.370
Just do it. End it. I'm standing. I'm going to
198
00:08:13.389 --> 00:08:16.470
see if this helps. Because I must say, when I
199
00:08:16.529 --> 00:08:19.139
sit here for a 20-minute segment and then I try
200
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.879
to get up and walk, it's challenging.
201
00:08:21.899 --> 00:08:22.019
Really?
202
00:08:22.259 --> 00:08:22.480
Really.
203
00:08:22.850 --> 00:08:23.850
I'm going to try and stand.
204
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.060
I think we have to get you one of those
205
00:08:25.259 --> 00:08:27.829
bouncing chairs, like those chairs that you can bounce on.
206
00:08:27.870 --> 00:08:30.110
Yeah, I don't know if that would be good, considering
207
00:08:30.129 --> 00:08:32.289
I've got a compressed disc in my back.
208
00:08:32.590 --> 00:08:33.169
Yeah, that's true.
209
00:08:33.409 --> 00:08:36.509
Like any slight movement like that makes it worse.
210
00:08:36.649 --> 00:08:36.929
Yes.
211
00:08:37.730 --> 00:08:39.809
A couple of texts in on the Cease Electronic Talking
212
00:08:39.830 --> 00:08:42.090
text line. First off, Neil and Kakana just got in. Tony,
213
00:08:42.409 --> 00:08:44.070
what the hell do you know about being agreed with?
214
00:08:44.909 --> 00:08:46.549
Not much these days, Neil, I'll tell you that.
215
00:08:47.190 --> 00:08:49.110
Did you end up beating me in fantasy football last night?
216
00:08:49.169 --> 00:08:49.309
No.
217
00:08:49.549 --> 00:08:50.289
Okay, darn.
218
00:08:50.309 --> 00:08:50.429
Nope.
219
00:08:50.690 --> 00:08:50.909
Nope.
220
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:52.019
I did not.
221
00:08:52.059 --> 00:08:52.759
Sorry about that, buddy.
222
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.559
Did I have anybody play yesterday? I don't think I
223
00:08:54.580 --> 00:08:55.240
had anybody play.
224
00:08:55.259 --> 00:08:56.899
Well, you got to get a defense in the lineup.
225
00:08:57.019 --> 00:08:58.399
So now you got to decide if you want to
226
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:02.350
keep the Kansas City defense or get yourself a quarterback.
227
00:09:02.830 --> 00:09:03.490
In any case, Keenum.
228
00:09:04.429 --> 00:09:06.429
Still sick to my stomach. Can't believe I did that.
229
00:09:06.710 --> 00:09:06.909
Yeah.
230
00:09:07.190 --> 00:09:08.649
Unbelievable. What are you going to do?
231
00:09:08.649 --> 00:09:09.570
Yeah, you need a quarterback.
232
00:09:09.909 --> 00:09:10.090
I do?
233
00:09:10.129 --> 00:09:11.850
That's kind of an important position.
234
00:09:12.049 --> 00:09:12.250
Okay.
235
00:09:12.909 --> 00:09:14.730
I don't think I've ever seen anyone not play a
236
00:09:14.789 --> 00:09:18.070
quarterback before. I'm glad I could. And lose by nine-tenths
237
00:09:18.129 --> 00:09:18.649
of a point.
238
00:09:18.789 --> 00:09:20.210
Seriously. Unbelievable.
239
00:09:20.250 --> 00:09:21.970
You could have played the worst quarterback in the NFL
240
00:09:21.990 --> 00:09:25.250
and still beat me.
241
00:09:25.590 --> 00:09:27.309
I'll never forgive myself for that until I win this
242
00:09:27.350 --> 00:09:29.389
league at the end of the season. I'm like the Packers.
243
00:09:29.529 --> 00:09:31.649
You've got to turn it around, all right? Double-digit wins
244
00:09:31.669 --> 00:09:34.789
for me this year. When it's all said and done.
245
00:09:35.629 --> 00:09:36.429
Harris from Harrisburg.
246
00:09:36.529 --> 00:09:36.860
Hey, guys.
247
00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:38.820
Well, you've got to come clean. I watched the Bears
248
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:40.840
last night and was very entertained. It was great seeing
249
00:09:40.899 --> 00:09:43.220
a team excited to play and executed to high level.
250
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.179
Watching linemen pull on the running plays and give the
251
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.759
quarterback time to throw was poetry in motion, and the
252
00:09:48.779 --> 00:09:52.370
defense definitely reflects the head coach's personality. I miss all that,
253
00:09:52.409 --> 00:09:53.149
being a Packers fan.
254
00:09:53.509 --> 00:09:56.429
Yeah, I think the Bears are a very well-coached football team,
255
00:09:56.509 --> 00:09:57.850
unlike the Green Bay Packers.
256
00:09:58.169 --> 00:09:58.909
Yes.
257
00:09:59.669 --> 00:10:02.259
You know. want to sit here and rip on the
258
00:10:02.299 --> 00:10:07.500
Packers all day again, but there is a big difference.
259
00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:10.789
Ben Johnson's a good coach. He's got good assistant coaches.
260
00:10:11.590 --> 00:10:15.250
And is it any coincidence that a former Packers assistant
261
00:10:15.269 --> 00:10:17.990
coach is now calling the plays in Philadelphia. And they
262
00:10:18.029 --> 00:10:19.269
got their butts handed to him.
263
00:10:19.509 --> 00:10:21.330
Isn't that funny? Isn't that fitting?
264
00:10:21.389 --> 00:10:25.269
Sean Mannion. That's all I could think of. It's like, okay.
265
00:10:25.289 --> 00:10:27.710
What did they say? Well, he called plays for his
266
00:10:28.129 --> 00:10:33.519
dad's high school team. I'm like, what? But I got
267
00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:34.919
a lot of faith in him. I think he's going
268
00:10:34.940 --> 00:10:35.340
to do a great job.
269
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.019
You said he called plays for his dad's high school team?
270
00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:39.159
Let me ask you this, Tony.
271
00:10:39.340 --> 00:10:40.860
What the hell do you know about play calling?
272
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:42.399
They could say that to Sean Mannion.
273
00:10:42.460 --> 00:10:44.830
Seriously. Let me ask you this, Sean. the hell do
274
00:10:44.850 --> 00:10:48.110
you know about Blake Hall? Case Keenum last night, 24
275
00:10:48.110 --> 00:10:52.149
of 34, 247 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, had a
276
00:10:52.210 --> 00:10:55.990
rushing touchdown as well. I mean, the Bears didn't miss
277
00:10:56.049 --> 00:10:56.909
a step without Caleb Williams.
278
00:10:56.929 --> 00:10:57.980
He looked fantastic.
279
00:10:58.289 --> 00:11:00.200
Yep. Just carved up the Eagles.
280
00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:02.659
Do you think Tyrod Taylor could pull off something like that?
281
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:03.039
I don't.
282
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:03.539
No.
283
00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:04.059
No.
284
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:05.539
I bet he'd throw three picks.
285
00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:06.320
I bet he'd be.
286
00:11:08.340 --> 00:11:12.419
And their second-string quarterback's really good as well. They have
287
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:13.299
three good quarterbacks.
288
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:13.440
Yes.
289
00:11:13.460 --> 00:11:14.679
Well, I don't know about Caleb.
290
00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:15.840
Well, see, here's the thing, though.
291
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.519
Apparently Caleb took a shower after the game, even though
292
00:11:18.539 --> 00:11:21.990
he didn't play last night. That's my new favorite meme.
293
00:11:25.129 --> 00:11:28.309
Well, that Leo. Well, that Caleb Williams.
294
00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:31.000
Anything to pick on the Bears.
295
00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:33.940
Here's the thing about the Packers. You ask if Tyrod
296
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:35.320
Taylor could do the same thing if he had to
297
00:11:35.340 --> 00:11:37.440
step in. I don't think Dan Marino could do the
298
00:11:37.460 --> 00:11:38.740
same thing if he was the Packers backer.
299
00:11:38.779 --> 00:11:40.159
He'd be dead. He can't move.
300
00:11:40.570 --> 00:11:43.049
With the offensive line the way it is, the point
301
00:11:43.090 --> 00:11:45.350
I'm trying to make, take your favorite quarterback of all time,
302
00:11:45.610 --> 00:11:49.330
put him behind this offensive line, and you tell me
303
00:11:49.929 --> 00:11:50.610
what's going to happen.
304
00:11:50.669 --> 00:11:53.669
Right now with the acquisitions that the Packers made, picking
305
00:11:53.750 --> 00:11:56.230
up three players that no one else wanted.
306
00:11:56.250 --> 00:11:56.970
They're starters.
307
00:11:57.549 --> 00:12:02.360
Someone played a clip. On X this morning, at the
308
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:06.440
end of the training camp press conference, the guy's question
309
00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:11.120
was our question. Is there something more you could have
310
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.029
done with the offensive line? And he goes, more? He goes,
311
00:12:14.370 --> 00:12:17.590
I was worried about some of these guys getting picked
312
00:12:17.750 --> 00:12:20.870
up if we cut them loose. So I'm real happy
313
00:12:20.909 --> 00:12:23.809
with this group. That's just telling me right there he
314
00:12:23.850 --> 00:12:27.779
doesn't know anything about selecting offensive linemen. You know, If
315
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.139
these are, I watched the Lockdown Packers podcast yesterday, and
316
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:36.049
we're going to ask Peter Bukowski about this tomorrow. They
317
00:12:36.070 --> 00:12:41.070
just need to be not terrible, not the worst offensive line.
318
00:12:41.409 --> 00:12:46.429
If they could just get, throw that like 16% whatever
319
00:12:46.929 --> 00:12:51.610
rate of success or whatever that thing's called, and like
320
00:12:51.629 --> 00:12:55.440
the league minimum was 60%, and they're at 16%. So
321
00:12:55.700 --> 00:12:58.950
if you could get to like 50%, The way Love
322
00:12:59.090 --> 00:13:02.690
and Watson and Golden have been playing, I mean, you
323
00:13:02.710 --> 00:13:05.570
could probably do some damage and score some more points.
324
00:13:05.710 --> 00:13:10.059
Just be bad, not historically bad. They're historically bad right now.
325
00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:12.919
That's the thing, though. Just don't be historically bad. Just
326
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:14.220
be serviceable at minimum.
327
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.570
Yeah, you can be less than mediocre and still be
328
00:13:17.610 --> 00:13:21.309
better than the crap they– I've rolled out these first
329
00:13:21.570 --> 00:13:22.110
three games.
330
00:13:22.289 --> 00:13:24.850
This is what I'm about to say is rather dramatic,
331
00:13:25.070 --> 00:13:28.350
probably over-exaggerated, but like if they snap the football and
332
00:13:28.389 --> 00:13:30.830
just stand next to each other, that'd be doing a
333
00:13:30.830 --> 00:13:31.120
better job.
334
00:13:31.129 --> 00:13:32.950
They don't know who to block. They don't know who
335
00:13:32.970 --> 00:13:33.450
to block.
336
00:13:33.490 --> 00:13:36.289
Leo, they run around. Okay. They just like turn the
337
00:13:36.330 --> 00:13:36.889
other direction.
338
00:13:37.289 --> 00:13:41.129
This is not blocking. I was 5'11, a buck 40,
339
00:13:41.129 --> 00:13:43.120
so I didn't play offensive line, but I think I
340
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:45.639
could figure it out. If I'm playing offensive line, I'm
341
00:13:45.659 --> 00:13:49.110
going to block the guy ahead of me. Not two
342
00:13:49.149 --> 00:13:51.909
guys go off into space to take a linebacker and
343
00:13:52.210 --> 00:13:57.490
let the best pass rusher kill your quarterback. It's ridiculous.
344
00:13:57.710 --> 00:13:58.590
Here's a question for you.
345
00:13:58.909 --> 00:13:59.710
All right, number one.
346
00:13:59.929 --> 00:14:04.000
Do you think that this is– it could be a
347
00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:05.340
mix of both, what I'm about to say, but do
348
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.220
you think this is because of poor offensive linemen, like
349
00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:11.059
just skill set-wise, or do you think the concepts are
350
00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:14.639
too difficult for the offensive linemen to execute for Matt LaFleur?
351
00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:18.399
I think it's a combination of both. I'm not sold
352
00:14:18.460 --> 00:14:20.340
on the talent on this offensive line.
353
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:21.460
Yeah.
354
00:14:21.700 --> 00:14:25.460
I mean, Baca Buele and Elton Jenkins were their two best.
355
00:14:25.899 --> 00:14:28.590
I didn't like the Jordan Morgan pick when it happened.
356
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.389
I thought he was a second, third-round pick to take
357
00:14:31.429 --> 00:14:35.590
him in the first round. It was a total reach.
358
00:14:36.370 --> 00:14:37.710
Sean Ryan's serviceable.
359
00:14:38.070 --> 00:14:38.289
Yeah.
360
00:14:38.929 --> 00:14:39.450
Jacob Monk.
361
00:14:41.850 --> 00:14:42.610
Donovan Jennings.
362
00:14:42.750 --> 00:14:45.919
Jacob Monk is not an NFL player. Jager Burton is
363
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:46.500
not ready.
364
00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:48.700
Yeah, yeah, that's a good way to put it.
365
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:54.419
So these two new guards in Becton and Tomlinson, and
366
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:55.870
I always forget the one from Cincinnati.
367
00:14:57.090 --> 00:14:58.490
Isn't it like Benson or something like that?
368
00:14:58.529 --> 00:15:01.730
No, it's not Benson. That was a TV show in.
369
00:15:04.149 --> 00:15:04.419
The 80s.
370
00:15:04.490 --> 00:15:05.289
It's not Benson.
371
00:15:06.230 --> 00:15:07.590
He's still in the practice squad. I don't think he's
372
00:15:07.610 --> 00:15:08.409
been elevated yet.
373
00:15:08.450 --> 00:15:10.409
Well, it doesn't matter what his name is. He's not
374
00:15:10.429 --> 00:15:10.929
that good.
375
00:15:11.389 --> 00:15:12.110
Werner Ziegler.
376
00:15:12.149 --> 00:15:14.620
Yeah, I think it's Werner Ziegler. Ever hear that guy,
377
00:15:14.649 --> 00:15:15.879
Werner Ziegler?
378
00:15:15.940 --> 00:15:17.059
He's on the practice squad now.
379
00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:21.399
But my point in all this is, yeah, no one
380
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.379
wanted these guys, and now they're going to potentially be
381
00:15:24.460 --> 00:15:28.399
starting for Green Bay. And, again, get them back to
382
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:32.059
less than mediocre. Get off that 16%, whatever that number means.
383
00:15:32.299 --> 00:15:34.419
Peter will explain it a lot better tomorrow. He went
384
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.539
off on it yesterday.
385
00:15:35.909 --> 00:15:36.110
Yeah.
386
00:15:36.950 --> 00:15:39.909
Very intriguing. But yeah, what's it going to take just
387
00:15:39.950 --> 00:15:42.629
to get back to not being horrible?
388
00:15:42.789 --> 00:15:45.029
How are we talking about this? I mean, it's like
389
00:15:45.509 --> 00:15:46.110
you had all off.
390
00:15:46.129 --> 00:15:47.289
We all saw it coming.
391
00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:48.169
Exactly.
392
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.899
It's not like we didn't see it. And what do
393
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:55.539
we know about player development and select? You know, I
394
00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.360
can say, yeah, I'm this big draft expert. No, I'm not.
395
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.220
I'm just I love the draft and it's fun. And
396
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:05.159
I it's hopefully entertaining for people to chime in with us.
397
00:16:05.509 --> 00:16:06.620
I don't know a thing about it.
398
00:16:07.070 --> 00:16:08.049
What the hell do you know about?
399
00:16:08.070 --> 00:16:09.549
Well, maybe I know a little bit.
400
00:16:09.570 --> 00:16:10.009
Yeah, I see.
401
00:16:10.289 --> 00:16:12.850
I mean, I put the time in and research it.
402
00:16:12.870 --> 00:16:17.350
It doesn't mean my picks would be better than Brian Gooden's.
403
00:16:18.309 --> 00:16:20.230
If they are, then maybe they should start paying me.
404
00:16:21.129 --> 00:16:24.610
I'm not sold that they aren't. Yeah. I mean, but
405
00:16:24.669 --> 00:16:26.610
that's the thing. We were talking about this in April,
406
00:16:27.090 --> 00:16:29.289
like the concern around the depth of that offensive line.
407
00:16:29.389 --> 00:16:29.580
Right.
408
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.240
We were talking about it in July when training camp started.
409
00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:35.809
Talked about it all August in the preseason. Here we
410
00:16:35.870 --> 00:16:38.250
are three weeks in going, this could have been avoided.
411
00:16:38.269 --> 00:16:42.080
You know, you think Goody would look at what Ted
412
00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:45.279
Thompson did, and I know the guys were talking about
413
00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:48.840
it on the press box. You know, who did he take?
414
00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:50.700
I think he took, what's so funny?
415
00:16:50.940 --> 00:16:51.440
The bullpen.
416
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.600
Press box, bullpen, whatever. I always get that thing wrong.
417
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:57.360
Whatever they're called.
418
00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:59.379
It was always the press box back in my day.
419
00:17:00.059 --> 00:17:03.759
All right, the bullpen. I apologize. So I think he
420
00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:08.460
took Brian Balaga and Derek Sherrod, the only two offensive
421
00:17:08.500 --> 00:17:11.559
linemen he took number one. The rest of them, they
422
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:17.789
were all TJ Lang, Josh Sutton, David Bakhtiari, all third, fourth,
423
00:17:17.829 --> 00:17:22.930
fifth-round picks. That's where he made hay. And I just
424
00:17:22.970 --> 00:17:25.809
don't believe in taking offensive linemen in the first round.
425
00:17:26.950 --> 00:17:27.430
I just don't.
426
00:17:27.750 --> 00:17:27.910
Yeah.
427
00:17:29.579 --> 00:17:31.539
You didn't see Ron Wolfe doing that a lot either.
428
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:35.279
I mean, it's– Well, see, but you have to hit
429
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:36.559
on those third, fourth-round picks.
430
00:17:36.579 --> 00:17:36.880
Yeah.
431
00:17:37.180 --> 00:17:38.059
You can't fall flat.
432
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:40.039
And if you have, like, a top-five pick and you
433
00:17:40.059 --> 00:17:42.819
take a big offensive tackle out of Michigan State and
434
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.160
he's a bust, I mean, it sets your team back forever.
435
00:17:45.460 --> 00:17:46.039
Tony Mandrich?
436
00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:49.480
Yeah, that's the one. We got a bunch of techs
437
00:17:49.539 --> 00:17:49.740
coming in.
438
00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:50.299
We do, yeah.
439
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:51.359
Want to get to them? Sure.
440
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:54.640
Dice Shake Lamar says it's not just because the Packers suck.
441
00:17:55.140 --> 00:17:57.660
They also lost the New York and L.A. markets with
442
00:17:57.700 --> 00:18:01.970
Caleb Williams not playing. Oh, I see. So that's the
443
00:18:02.009 --> 00:18:05.549
reason Fox also switched as well, because Caleb Williams is
444
00:18:05.569 --> 00:18:07.170
probably not playing. They're not expecting that to be a
445
00:18:07.170 --> 00:18:09.539
good game regardless, dice shaking. So I think that's why
446
00:18:09.579 --> 00:18:11.440
they're– part of the reason is like, well, they got
447
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:12.420
better games to play.
448
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:14.319
Well, they saw the Bears take down the Eagles last
449
00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:20.460
night relatively easily, and they've seen Green Bay just lay
450
00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:22.039
an egg week after week after week.
451
00:18:22.289 --> 00:18:27.390
As have we. Chris in Appleton, how hot will LaFayette's
452
00:18:27.470 --> 00:18:30.349
seat get When the Packers lose to an undrafted free
453
00:18:30.390 --> 00:18:32.890
agent rookie quarterback on Sunday. I think the heat just
454
00:18:32.950 --> 00:18:35.589
went up a bit today with the Packers getting flexed
455
00:18:35.630 --> 00:18:39.190
to noon because they suck so bad. Well, I don't...
456
00:18:39.390 --> 00:18:41.539
Here's the thing. They just extended him. So it's like,
457
00:18:41.579 --> 00:18:45.559
how hot can a seat get after an extension? Like,
458
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:46.799
this soon after an extension?
459
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:47.099
Yeah.
460
00:18:47.619 --> 00:18:50.819
Like, if they finish with six wins this year, okay,
461
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:51.900
maybe his seat is hot.
462
00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:52.680
But.
463
00:18:53.269 --> 00:18:55.609
Three weeks in, his seat is not hot after an extension.
464
00:18:55.710 --> 00:18:59.130
I've thought about this, and it's not like the Milwaukee
465
00:18:59.170 --> 00:19:01.769
Bucks where you're paying three coaches. I mean, you'll be
466
00:19:01.789 --> 00:19:02.809
paying one coach.
467
00:19:02.829 --> 00:19:04.390
Yes, you don't want that situation again.
468
00:19:04.450 --> 00:19:08.269
No. So, I mean, yeah, if you would– well, first
469
00:19:08.309 --> 00:19:10.289
of all, they're going to let him finish the season.
470
00:19:11.130 --> 00:19:13.539
They'll let the season play out. And then you're only
471
00:19:13.579 --> 00:19:15.759
stuck with paying him for three more years, right?
472
00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:17.430
I don't know what the extension was.
473
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:20.700
It was a three- or four-year extension. Anyway, it doesn't matter.
474
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.059
I think he could get fired at the end of
475
00:19:23.099 --> 00:19:26.339
the season if the whole season– I mean, it's a
476
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.029
matter as he lost the football team. And I think–
477
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:31.759
didn't Tucker Kraft just give him a big endorsement, we
478
00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:32.900
have faith in Matt LeFleur?
479
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.240
Yeah, well, yesterday some Packers spoke to the media, Tucker
480
00:19:36.289 --> 00:19:38.549
Kraft being one of them, talking about getting booted home,
481
00:19:38.609 --> 00:19:41.440
talking about Matt LeFleur and stuff like that. And he–
482
00:19:41.869 --> 00:19:45.289
what was the point I was going to make with
483
00:19:46.369 --> 00:19:49.369
the Packers being one Oh, yeah, he said, in one
484
00:19:49.390 --> 00:19:52.470
of the things he said, guys, it's just one and two. We,
485
00:19:52.589 --> 00:19:54.750
the Packers, are just one and two. That's what Tucker
486
00:19:54.789 --> 00:19:57.250
Kraft said to the media yesterday. Like, everyone's making a
487
00:19:57.269 --> 00:19:59.549
big deal out of it because they have looked horrible.
488
00:19:59.670 --> 00:20:02.119
The stats show that they're horrible. But, like, what if
489
00:20:02.150 --> 00:20:04.539
things turn around? We're sitting here like this is all
490
00:20:04.579 --> 00:20:06.839
a distant memory. We're just one and two was his message.
491
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.700
I don't know the optimism there. the actual optimism that
492
00:20:11.779 --> 00:20:13.960
it'll get better in the locker room, but that's what
493
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:16.000
Tucker Kraft said to the media. Maybe he's saying that
494
00:20:16.019 --> 00:20:18.579
to the media just to be, you know, a forward-facing
495
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:21.220
voice of the organization right now when they need it.
496
00:20:21.710 --> 00:20:25.369
But either way, it is just one and two. I mean,
497
00:20:25.410 --> 00:20:28.029
what if they win on Sunday? They're 500. Say they
498
00:20:28.069 --> 00:20:31.690
win against the backup in Tampa Bay, you're 500 heading
499
00:20:31.730 --> 00:20:35.519
into Bears week. And maybe Matt LaFleur has a little
500
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:38.180
extra motivation to beat Ben Johnson, draws up a game plan. Like,
501
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:39.700
you never know. That's why they play the games.
502
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:40.099
Right.
503
00:20:40.829 --> 00:20:44.549
Well, I never like to say it's a must-win four
504
00:20:44.589 --> 00:20:46.869
games into the season, but you can't start one and
505
00:20:46.930 --> 00:20:50.109
three after this is the easiest part of your schedule.
506
00:20:50.130 --> 00:20:50.349
Yes.
507
00:20:50.549 --> 00:20:54.430
And you have looked terrible. Yep. You have to get
508
00:20:54.470 --> 00:20:56.089
some kind of a running game going. I don't know
509
00:20:56.109 --> 00:20:58.690
how they're going to pull it off. This running back
510
00:20:58.730 --> 00:21:01.410
room is almost as bad as the offensive line room.
511
00:21:02.329 --> 00:21:04.490
I mean, you put that together. So you have a
512
00:21:04.529 --> 00:21:07.829
talented young quarterback, and you have some talented wideouts.
513
00:21:08.210 --> 00:21:08.390
Mm-hmm.
514
00:21:09.029 --> 00:21:11.049
But when you mix that with a bad running game
515
00:21:11.109 --> 00:21:14.230
and a bad offensive line, I mean, it's not working out.
516
00:21:14.859 --> 00:21:18.019
You're seeing the results right now. The defense, I mean,
517
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.400
Jonathan Gannon better write a script to get a couple
518
00:21:22.420 --> 00:21:25.220
of defensive scores or a special team and defensive score.
519
00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:25.720
Yeah.
520
00:21:26.539 --> 00:21:28.569
Because I think that's how they can win this football game.
521
00:21:28.589 --> 00:21:31.269
The defense was playing well before the Falcons game. And
522
00:21:31.289 --> 00:21:34.490
then you face, I mean, we all play fantasy football.
523
00:21:34.509 --> 00:21:37.269
Who was the number one, number two pick? Bajon Robinson.
524
00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:40.559
And then you face the top fantasy guy. You know,
525
00:21:40.579 --> 00:21:42.609
not that fantasy actually translates into how you drop a
526
00:21:42.619 --> 00:21:44.309
game plan, but what I'm saying is you face the
527
00:21:44.349 --> 00:21:47.130
top talent in the league and things blow up on you.
528
00:21:47.750 --> 00:21:49.690
Maybe he turns it around. Maybe he dials up some
529
00:21:49.730 --> 00:21:54.170
pressure on a backup quarterback, undrafted free agent rookie in
530
00:21:54.190 --> 00:21:57.019
Tampa Bay, and maybe, you know, good things happen. And again,
531
00:21:57.500 --> 00:21:59.420
what if you're sitting at 500 heading into Bears week?
532
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:01.579
That's why they play the games. All right, more of
533
00:22:01.619 --> 00:22:04.039
these texts here because we're up against our first break.
534
00:22:05.019 --> 00:22:07.450
Chad the Bear fan hopping in. It says, here's the
535
00:22:07.490 --> 00:22:12.470
difference between the Bears and Packers O-line. Three games, rushing, Packers, 66-63-17.
536
00:22:12.549 --> 00:22:13.490
What's going on here?
537
00:22:13.509 --> 00:22:13.730
Bears, 291.
538
00:22:13.710 --> 00:22:13.970
Oh, I see.
539
00:22:13.990 --> 00:22:16.829
Three games rushing, okay. Packers, 66 yards, 63 yards, 17 yards. Bears,
540
00:22:16.829 --> 00:22:18.490
291 yards, 134 yards, 128 yards. It's one in the trenches.
541
00:22:18.509 --> 00:22:20.619
Defensive lines can take off on a team that can't
542
00:22:20.630 --> 00:22:21.230
run the ball.
543
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:38.009
Did Case Keenum get touched last night? He had all
544
00:22:38.029 --> 00:22:40.829
day to throw. How often have you heard that? Zero sacks.
545
00:22:41.329 --> 00:22:44.349
How often have you heard it from either former quarterbacks
546
00:22:44.430 --> 00:22:49.210
or coaches when they say, if you have time to throw,
547
00:22:50.029 --> 00:22:51.980
I mean, you can put a college quarterback back there,
548
00:22:52.380 --> 00:22:53.160
Jalen Daniels.
549
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:54.599
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
550
00:22:54.859 --> 00:22:56.859
And you can win football games. But if you put
551
00:22:56.900 --> 00:23:00.920
pressure on even the best quarterbacks, they're going to get jumpy.
552
00:23:00.980 --> 00:23:03.200
They're going to get jittery. Jordan Love.
553
00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:03.589
Yep.
554
00:23:04.329 --> 00:23:05.450
All right, keep going with the text.
555
00:23:05.769 --> 00:23:09.009
Brian in Greenville, so many of us remember being at
556
00:23:09.029 --> 00:23:11.309
the draft last year and the crowd going nuts for
557
00:23:11.369 --> 00:23:14.309
finally picking a wide receiver in round number one, Matthew Golden.
558
00:23:14.569 --> 00:23:18.019
Looking back, we really didn't do well using picks one
559
00:23:18.099 --> 00:23:20.720
and three on wide receivers with Belton picked in the
560
00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:23.380
middle of those picks. I think Matthew Golden will turn out.
561
00:23:23.660 --> 00:23:27.440
Yeah, he's talking about Savion Williams on the third round.
562
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:29.660
We'll see when he comes back. I mean, there's a
563
00:23:29.700 --> 00:23:31.319
guy that could be a running back.
564
00:23:32.289 --> 00:23:33.230
Ty Montgomery style.
565
00:23:33.329 --> 00:23:34.589
Yeah, very much so.
566
00:23:34.890 --> 00:23:37.730
Dice shaking tomorrow. The real question is what record do
567
00:23:37.750 --> 00:23:40.319
we stop talking about Parsons coming back this season? If
568
00:23:40.339 --> 00:23:43.279
they're two and six, I'd shut them down completely. I wouldn't.
569
00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:46.579
I understand why you say that. I wouldn't because you still,
570
00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:49.220
like if you lose a complete season and a half,
571
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:51.500
you really do not know what you're getting back when
572
00:23:51.539 --> 00:23:52.200
he does come back.
573
00:23:53.910 --> 00:23:54.490
Jerry Brown, Dre.
574
00:23:55.069 --> 00:23:58.170
Says, taking a first-rounder offensive lineman isn't bad. It's only
575
00:23:58.210 --> 00:24:00.190
bad if you're the Packers. For some reason, they think
576
00:24:00.250 --> 00:24:02.549
every lineman can play four other spots. You know, and
577
00:24:02.569 --> 00:24:05.589
that's the thing, too, is that the Packers, I saw
578
00:24:05.650 --> 00:24:10.750
somewhere on X that the Packers really were like, wowed
579
00:24:10.789 --> 00:24:13.049
at Elton Jenkins being able to play multiple positions.
580
00:24:13.170 --> 00:24:15.390
And he was great. Why did they get rid of him? Exactly.
581
00:24:15.849 --> 00:24:18.410
But now, all of a sudden, every offensive lineman they draft,
582
00:24:18.430 --> 00:24:20.299
they think they can turn into Elton Jenkins by playing
583
00:24:20.339 --> 00:24:22.259
multiple positions. And it just has not worked out that way.
584
00:24:22.779 --> 00:24:25.279
We've got to take our first break. And before we do,
585
00:24:25.299 --> 00:24:26.799
a message from Leo Kuyper, Jr.
586
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:29.700
Hey, Stone Toad Bar and Grill. Every Monday at 6.30,
587
00:24:29.700 --> 00:24:35.500
DJ Trivia at the Toad. Event coming up Sunday. Ornato
588
00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:39.980
samples and shot specials from 11.30 to 1.30. That'll be
589
00:24:40.019 --> 00:24:42.539
right during the Green and Gold game. And don't forget
590
00:24:42.579 --> 00:24:46.710
about the Lunch Buffet Monday through Thursday. The 7-Hour Happy
591
00:24:46.730 --> 00:24:50.900
Hour Monday through Thursday. Fish on Friday. Chicken dinner on Sunday,
592
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:56.059
sports on TV, always Stone Toad Bar and Grill, 1109
593
00:24:56.059 --> 00:24:58.700
Oneida Street in Manassas.
594
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:00.680
All right, we're going to take our first break of
595
00:25:00.700 --> 00:25:03.839
the show. We have one of your thoughts on a
596
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:06.099
bunch of different topics, score squad. We're going to just
597
00:25:06.140 --> 00:25:08.569
go through the gamut. We got 1265 today coming up.
598
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:11.859
We got some bucket up, you know, Milwaukee Buck banter,
599
00:25:11.900 --> 00:25:15.119
what it'll look like after the Giannis era. We have
600
00:25:15.140 --> 00:25:17.849
some talking crew coming up, and then we'll be joined
601
00:25:17.869 --> 00:25:20.730
by Brian Butch for Bucky Banter. We cover the gamut
602
00:25:20.769 --> 00:25:23.890
of Wisconsin sports today. Want your thoughts all show long.
603
00:25:23.930 --> 00:25:26.130
Keep it locked right here on the Cease Electronic Talk
604
00:25:26.170 --> 00:25:32.250
and Text Line, 920-281-1570. And right here on 95.3-99.1 The Score.
605
00:25:32.890 --> 00:25:34.349
Thanks for tuning in. Off to a good start on
606
00:25:34.369 --> 00:25:36.309
this Tuesday afternoon. More show when we come back.
607
00:25:45.250 --> 00:25:48.130
You're listening to the show with Tony G and Leo.
608
00:25:52.380 --> 00:25:52.579
Nice.
609
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:57.140
All right, we're back, baby. The brand new green and
610
00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:58.589
growing Milwaukee Bucks.
611
00:25:58.609 --> 00:25:59.109
I like that.
612
00:25:59.220 --> 00:26:00.910
How great is this going to be?
613
00:26:01.009 --> 00:26:01.089
Yes.
614
00:26:01.190 --> 00:26:17.359
It's a new era, Leo. I heard Giannis and Bobby
615
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:19.339
Portis both lost a lot of weight. What, are they
616
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:22.420
just sitting on their butt eating Tom's drive-in every day?
617
00:26:22.500 --> 00:26:26.529
Did you see Bleacher? This is not related to the Bucs.
618
00:26:27.029 --> 00:26:29.329
I saw this on Bleacher Report today. Did you see
619
00:26:29.390 --> 00:26:30.509
Chet Holmgren's new weight?
620
00:26:31.210 --> 00:26:31.369
No.
621
00:26:31.950 --> 00:26:37.849
He went from 213 to 215. I swear that was
622
00:26:37.869 --> 00:26:40.970
the report on Bleacher Report. And it wasn't like some
623
00:26:41.009 --> 00:26:44.579
fake AI nonsense. It was like actually his weight.
624
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:48.059
Yeah, who cares? That's what I'm saying. Hey, Sunday I
625
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:50.000
weighed 172. Today I was 170.
626
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.740
Exactly.
627
00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:52.039
That's big news.
628
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:52.559
Look, here it is.
629
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:54.279
You still look like a stiff.
630
00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:57.900
213 to 213. All right, that stiff-ish right there. A
631
00:26:57.940 --> 00:26:59.109
stiff breeze would blow him over.
632
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.069
Yeah. I never thought he was going to make it
633
00:27:02.089 --> 00:27:04.250
in the NBA. I thought he was too slight of build.
634
00:27:04.369 --> 00:27:09.390
That's right. Well, either way. Time for Bucket Up, Leo.
635
00:27:10.089 --> 00:27:13.789
Because there's a new era in Milwaukee. The post-Yannis era.
636
00:27:15.230 --> 00:27:15.970
How's that make you feel?
637
00:27:16.869 --> 00:27:17.150
Weird.
638
00:27:17.190 --> 00:27:17.289
Yeah?
639
00:27:17.569 --> 00:27:19.359
I'm right there with you.
640
00:27:19.369 --> 00:27:22.890
This reminds me of when Kareem got traded to the Lakers.
641
00:27:22.990 --> 00:27:28.019
It was exciting because you kind of, well, you knew
642
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:32.059
Kareem wanted out. I'm not positive Yannis wanted out. We
643
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:35.500
really never knew that whole story, but I think it
644
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:38.680
was a mutual agreement that the Bucs needed to go
645
00:27:38.740 --> 00:27:43.630
young and the, you know, Giannis wants to win another title,
646
00:27:43.829 --> 00:27:48.099
and Miami hopefully gives him that chance. But we're not
647
00:27:48.130 --> 00:27:49.799
here to talk about him. We're here to talk about
648
00:27:49.819 --> 00:27:52.140
the new, young Milwaukee Bucks.
649
00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:54.299
And what you can expect, because no one really knows
650
00:27:54.339 --> 00:27:55.000
what to expect.
651
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:56.079
No, we really don't.
652
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:58.420
New territory. Uncharted territory, rather.
653
00:27:59.900 --> 00:28:01.940
There's a lot of new, young players.
654
00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:04.609
There is. And a new head coach, Taylor Jenkins.
655
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:08.049
Yeah. What's he going to bring to the table? Is
656
00:28:08.069 --> 00:28:09.829
it going to be more discipline? Is it not going to?
657
00:28:10.930 --> 00:28:15.680
Stop being the country club Doc Rivers atmosphere where the
658
00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:20.779
prisoners run the asylum. Yeah, you get a golf simulator. Yeah,
659
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.720
Doc was a good coach in his day, but I
660
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:26.069
think he was kind of mailing it in here at
661
00:28:26.089 --> 00:28:26.369
the end.
662
00:28:26.970 --> 00:28:29.309
Here's what I'll say about Taylor Jenkins. Every time I
663
00:28:29.349 --> 00:28:32.809
hear him speak, I'm more bought into him as somebody
664
00:28:32.849 --> 00:28:36.750
who follows this organization. I think he's the perfect hire
665
00:28:36.789 --> 00:28:39.990
for this role. Somebody who knows you need a new era,
666
00:28:40.049 --> 00:28:43.019
you need a new breath of life in here. Taylor
667
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:46.740
Jenkins has some experience, not just NBA experience, but with
668
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:49.940
the Bucs before. I mean, and just everything he's saying,
669
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:53.720
I think he is the right coach for a rebuild,
670
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:57.480
or as in their press conference yesterday, Bucs ownership called
671
00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:00.339
it not a rebuild, but a building year.
672
00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:04.190
It's a building year, yes, because... Yeah, it's kind of
673
00:29:04.230 --> 00:29:08.319
conflicting because you have Kyle Kuzma at 31, Miles Turner, 30,
674
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:11.359
Tyler Hero at 27. All three of these players, by
675
00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:14.099
the way, have been to the NBA finals. And Kuzma
676
00:29:14.140 --> 00:29:16.819
and Hero are both in contract years. So it'll be
677
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:19.160
interesting to see what they do with them. I mean,
678
00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:20.869
do you keep them around for a half a year,
679
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:23.329
move them at the trade deadline for more draft capital,
680
00:29:23.390 --> 00:29:27.849
get some more younger players? Kevin Porter Jr., who I'm
681
00:29:27.869 --> 00:29:28.730
just not sold on.
682
00:29:29.170 --> 00:29:29.509
Agreed.
683
00:29:30.009 --> 00:29:31.369
He's young. He shows.
684
00:29:32.819 --> 00:29:35.829
He shows spurts of greatness. I mean, he can just
685
00:29:35.849 --> 00:29:39.490
be a scoring machine, but then he just scratches your
686
00:29:39.529 --> 00:29:42.329
head like, what are you doing, man? But, I mean,
687
00:29:42.369 --> 00:29:45.750
if you look at those four on paper, I think
688
00:29:45.769 --> 00:29:49.130
he can win some games with those guys. And, you know,
689
00:29:49.670 --> 00:29:52.779
you've added a lot of new young talent to a
690
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:55.240
team that didn't have a lot of new young talent
691
00:29:55.259 --> 00:30:01.579
last year. Everyone's Everyone's thinking the over-under is what, like
692
00:30:01.579 --> 00:30:04.119
27 wins, something like that. What did they win, 32
693
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:04.519
last year?
694
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:05.039
Yes.
695
00:30:05.339 --> 00:30:07.220
And then they had Giannis for what, about a quarter
696
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:10.140
of the season? Maybe a third? And you had a
697
00:30:10.180 --> 00:30:13.859
worse team on the floor without Giannis, but now you
698
00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:16.640
have a better team on the floor without Giannis. So
699
00:30:16.660 --> 00:30:20.430
I don't understand where they're getting the 27 wins, especially
700
00:30:20.470 --> 00:30:23.730
when you have these players you picked up. I mean,
701
00:30:24.130 --> 00:30:27.380
I'm kind of excited about it. You know, another full
702
00:30:27.420 --> 00:30:30.339
year with Usman Jang who came. I mean, that was
703
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:31.019
a great pickup.
704
00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:33.140
Yeah, 100%.
705
00:30:33.140 --> 00:30:37.490
And I really, really am intrigued about Khalil Ware. You know,
706
00:30:37.509 --> 00:30:40.329
the young center that came over in the Giannis and
707
00:30:40.349 --> 00:30:44.789
Ted Acupo trade. It's how they're going to fit all
708
00:30:44.829 --> 00:30:48.710
these parts, you know, square peg, round hole kind of thing.
709
00:30:48.789 --> 00:30:52.910
It's just kind of an odd chemistry with the four
710
00:30:52.990 --> 00:30:55.730
veterans you have and then it's all young people. And then,
711
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:59.119
of course, you have Gary Trent back. And what's going
712
00:30:59.140 --> 00:31:02.039
to happen with that whole situation? AJ Green.
713
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:05.720
There's no update that I've seen yet on the Trent situation.
714
00:31:06.619 --> 00:31:09.779
Yeah, I think it would be ridiculous if you laid
715
00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:13.359
down the law on the box. What did they do?
716
00:31:13.660 --> 00:31:13.819
Yeah.
717
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:18.819
Okay, they have a backroom deal. Like, all right, you
718
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:20.619
play here for two years at the minimum, and then
719
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:22.240
we'll give you a big deal. And it's not even
720
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:23.160
that big of a deal.
721
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:23.680
No.
722
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:25.420
What, four years, $ 64 million?
723
00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:26.359
Well, for him, though.
724
00:31:28.049 --> 00:31:31.210
But he's always been a– I mean, that's probably what
725
00:31:31.250 --> 00:31:34.349
he's been worth this whole time. I see what they're
726
00:31:34.390 --> 00:31:36.890
getting at, but I still think it would be pretty
727
00:31:36.950 --> 00:31:39.589
petty to dock– I mean, you read, like, they're going
728
00:31:39.609 --> 00:31:41.130
to dock him five number one picks.
729
00:31:41.390 --> 00:31:41.589
Yeah.
730
00:31:41.650 --> 00:31:43.619
That would be totally– Then you might as well just
731
00:31:43.819 --> 00:31:46.440
say the NBA can't be in Milwaukee anymore because that'll
732
00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:46.759
kill them.
733
00:31:47.019 --> 00:31:47.200
Yeah.
734
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:49.380
It's not like Los Angeles. That would be a death knell.
735
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:51.400
Yeah. It's not like the Clippers where you can do
736
00:31:51.420 --> 00:31:52.099
that to the Clippers.
737
00:31:52.380 --> 00:31:52.559
Yeah.
738
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:55.039
Especially, I think the Clippers was way worse because it
739
00:31:55.079 --> 00:32:00.880
was a different, more shady way of salary cap circumvention.
740
00:32:01.849 --> 00:32:04.609
I mean, it included Daktronics, which is the scoreboard brand.
741
00:32:04.670 --> 00:32:08.089
It included Kawhi Leonard, one of the most notable players
742
00:32:08.109 --> 00:32:09.910
in the league. I mean, it was a way different situation,
743
00:32:09.950 --> 00:32:10.329
in my opinion.
744
00:32:11.460 --> 00:32:13.680
And then the whole guard rotation, how is that going
745
00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:16.160
to work? I mean, Ryan Rollins, one of their best players,
746
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:21.009
one of the brightest spots of the 25-26 season, averaged
747
00:32:21.029 --> 00:32:26.109
17-3 a game, 5.6 assists per game, shot like 50%
748
00:32:26.109 --> 00:32:29.109
from the floor, 40% from behind the line. He's a
749
00:32:29.109 --> 00:32:31.089
good player. I don't know if he's going to be
750
00:32:31.109 --> 00:32:35.369
a great player or an all-star, but you drafted Braden
751
00:32:35.390 --> 00:32:38.109
Burries and the kid's got to play.
752
00:32:38.579 --> 00:32:38.799
Yeah.
753
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:41.079
But where is he going to play if you have
754
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:42.940
these guys all ahead of him, all these other guards
755
00:32:42.980 --> 00:32:43.660
I just mentioned?
756
00:32:43.859 --> 00:32:46.369
Well, I think he's earned the playing time too. I mean,
757
00:32:46.410 --> 00:32:51.450
at least seeing the summer league play. Very explosive player.
758
00:32:51.950 --> 00:32:53.349
I don't know how you don't have one on the floor.
759
00:32:53.369 --> 00:32:55.630
But if you have Hero and Porter starting at guards
760
00:32:55.650 --> 00:32:57.670
and then you have Rollins as your three, then he's
761
00:32:57.710 --> 00:33:00.210
coming in. I mean, there's one basketball and there's only
762
00:33:00.269 --> 00:33:02.609
so many minutes. True, yeah.
763
00:33:02.650 --> 00:33:05.789
They've got a lot of guys that are talented. I
764
00:33:05.809 --> 00:33:09.410
haven't even talked about my draft bust yet. Nate Ament?
765
00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:14.000
I don't know. He's been growing on me. He's said
766
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:19.359
all the right things. And then, you know, Jaime Jaquez
767
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:26.460
they picked up. Casper Siakajonas from... He's a point guard, too.
768
00:33:27.460 --> 00:33:30.069
He's got to get playing time. Where are these minutes
769
00:33:30.309 --> 00:33:33.470
going to come from? I guess Ty Windisch is the
770
00:33:33.490 --> 00:33:35.230
guy to answer these questions, not you and I.
771
00:33:35.430 --> 00:33:37.230
I wish I had the answers for you. What I
772
00:33:37.269 --> 00:33:40.119
do have is Wes Edens kind of talking about this.
773
00:33:40.140 --> 00:33:42.700
A new era, new coach, new players in this era
774
00:33:42.779 --> 00:33:43.759
of Milwaukee basketball.
775
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:46.259
You look around here, there's no Giannis, there's no Chris Middleton,
776
00:33:46.299 --> 00:33:48.960
there's no, you know, Brooke Lopez, Drew Holiday, all these
777
00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:51.049
amazing players that came through here. We have the next
778
00:33:51.130 --> 00:33:52.970
crop of these young folks here that I think have
779
00:33:53.210 --> 00:33:55.809
every right to believe that they can be the next
780
00:33:55.869 --> 00:33:57.230
group that kind of builds towards that.
781
00:33:57.509 --> 00:33:59.730
Yeah, well, I sure hope so. So, like he said,
782
00:33:59.789 --> 00:34:03.230
he's very confident in who's there. He's very optimistic on
783
00:34:03.289 --> 00:34:05.519
what he has. Got to put it all together, though. Yeah,
784
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:06.539
got to put it together.
785
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:06.869
I mean, I.
786
00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:11.429
My expectations for this team are I'm going to be
787
00:34:11.469 --> 00:34:16.269
a little bit more... I think they can battle for
788
00:34:16.309 --> 00:34:21.150
that 8, 9, 10 spot. Okay. You know, 34 wins,
789
00:34:21.150 --> 00:34:25.380
35 wins maybe. I think there's going to be nights
790
00:34:25.460 --> 00:34:28.179
where their hero is going to go off and these
791
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:30.679
veterans will lead them to a victory. There's going to
792
00:34:30.699 --> 00:34:34.719
be nights when it'll be like, this is the worst
793
00:34:34.780 --> 00:34:37.139
basketball team I've ever seen. It's going to be... I
794
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:41.440
don't know how you gel this chemistry with those four veterans,
795
00:34:41.500 --> 00:34:44.440
with all these young players. You just have to decide,
796
00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:48.239
do you want to go young and just take your
797
00:34:48.300 --> 00:34:48.900
lumps now?
798
00:34:49.219 --> 00:34:49.440
Yeah.
799
00:34:49.539 --> 00:34:51.260
Or do you want to try and win and get
800
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:54.420
into the playing game, whatever it's called.
801
00:34:54.619 --> 00:34:54.840
Yeah.
802
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:56.000
The playing tournament.
803
00:34:56.019 --> 00:35:02.340
Tournament, yeah. Yeah. Well, all very eager to see what happens,
804
00:35:02.989 --> 00:35:04.050
you know, how it plays out.
805
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:08.760
In general. And how much John Horst changes this roster
806
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:10.219
before the All-Star break.
807
00:35:10.389 --> 00:35:10.590
Yeah.
808
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:13.030
I mean, it could be a lot of changes. I mean,
809
00:35:13.429 --> 00:35:16.869
who's the guy from Detroit that they've been kicking the
810
00:35:16.909 --> 00:35:20.349
tires on? You've been hearing a lot of rumors on–
811
00:35:20.610 --> 00:35:21.710
let me look that up quick.
812
00:35:22.050 --> 00:35:22.650
Yeah, I don't know.
813
00:35:23.590 --> 00:35:27.710
That young center that's supposed to get the max deal. Oh, wow.
814
00:35:28.670 --> 00:35:32.030
Yeah, that's the other part, too, is, like, how are
815
00:35:32.070 --> 00:35:36.690
the Bucs looking– salary cap wise, now that Giannis is
816
00:35:36.710 --> 00:35:38.829
off the books, you know, now that you have some
817
00:35:38.849 --> 00:35:40.690
of the other players off the books, you have some
818
00:35:40.710 --> 00:35:42.929
of these coaches off the books, you've been playing paying three,
819
00:35:42.969 --> 00:35:46.139
four coaches at the same time. What's the, you know,
820
00:35:46.380 --> 00:35:48.039
how much money is out there for the bucks to
821
00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:50.800
go make some noise. I mean, the time has kind
822
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:52.500
of passed now. I mean, you're starting to gear up
823
00:35:52.539 --> 00:35:55.920
for this next season, so you're not completely dead in
824
00:35:55.940 --> 00:35:56.539
the water on it.
825
00:35:56.539 --> 00:35:59.079
But Jalen Duren, that's who I'm talking about. I think
826
00:35:59.099 --> 00:36:02.510
he's an all-star. He's an all young all-star. He's a,
827
00:36:03.309 --> 00:36:07.610
in a contract dispute with the Pistons, and apparently the
828
00:36:07.659 --> 00:36:11.780
Bucs are very interested in doing a sign-in trade with
829
00:36:12.260 --> 00:36:15.539
Miles Turner, maybe Kevin Porter. You see Tyler Hero's name
830
00:36:15.579 --> 00:36:18.800
kicked around. Probably have to kick in another number one pick.
831
00:36:19.659 --> 00:36:23.369
But if you added him, he's... I don't know. I
832
00:36:23.409 --> 00:36:26.329
want to see what Khalil Ware can do. I'm excited
833
00:36:26.369 --> 00:36:29.840
about him. You bring him in, this is more... more
834
00:36:29.860 --> 00:36:32.559
of the same a little bit, but he is an all-star,
835
00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:33.460
so we'll see what happens.
836
00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:35.739
Well, we've got to take another break, if you can
837
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:37.579
believe it or not. When we come back, back to
838
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:43.119
the football, 1265 today. Officially coming into play here, more
839
00:36:43.179 --> 00:36:46.010
offensive line discussion. What does Lakin Tomlinson have to say?
840
00:36:47.389 --> 00:36:48.909
How much of an impact does he think he could
841
00:36:48.949 --> 00:36:52.070
have on the Packers immediately? We'll talk about that. Score
842
00:36:52.110 --> 00:36:53.809
poll coming up next as well. Don't go anywhere. It's
843
00:36:53.829 --> 00:36:54.650
the show with Tony G and Leo.
844
00:36:54.650 --> 00:37:36.809

Time for 1265 Today. You thought we weren't going to.
849
00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:50.559

00:37:53.460 --> 00:37:55.579
534 West Wisconsin Avenue.
852
00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:58.519
That's the place. It's our go-to place.
853
00:37:58.639 --> 00:37:59.239
In Appleton.
854
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:01.119
You've been there, buddy.
855
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:01.619
That's right.
856
00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:03.880
I've taken you there. You met Jimmy G. That's true.
857
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:05.909
Jimmy G and Tony G. That's right.
858
00:38:05.969 --> 00:38:07.750
He's excited to have you as his rep.
859
00:38:07.989 --> 00:38:10.389
That's right. I'm excited to have him as my best pal.
860
00:38:10.409 --> 00:38:11.110
I'll take care of him.
861
00:38:13.769 --> 00:38:14.860
They do great stuff for us.
862
00:38:15.230 --> 00:38:16.650
They do. They're our go-to place.
863
00:38:16.849 --> 00:38:20.469
Yeah, it's different plus. All right, so for today's 1265,
864
00:38:20.469 --> 00:38:23.570
today the Packers offensive line, not great, Bob.
865
00:38:23.969 --> 00:38:24.150
No.
866
00:38:24.369 --> 00:38:27.050
That's all. No, I'm just kidding. So a lot of
867
00:38:27.469 --> 00:38:30.730
members spoke to the media yesterday. One of them was
868
00:38:31.630 --> 00:38:34.070
Lakin Tomlinson, who just signed to the organization. He says
869
00:38:34.110 --> 00:38:35.610
he wants to have an impact right out of the gate.
870
00:38:35.650 --> 00:38:37.929
You know, obviously going into year 12, I've played a
871
00:38:37.929 --> 00:38:41.489
lot of ball, and I feel like I've still got
872
00:38:41.510 --> 00:38:42.389
a lot left in the tank.
873
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:44.769
So I feel like I can bring a lot to
874
00:38:44.789 --> 00:38:46.909
the team. Well, it sounds like he's ready to go.
875
00:38:47.349 --> 00:38:49.690
Are the other players ready to go? So the question
876
00:38:49.730 --> 00:38:55.110
here is, Leo, if Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton get brought
877
00:38:55.170 --> 00:38:58.690
up and activated, who is out? Obviously, we know Zach
878
00:38:58.730 --> 00:39:01.769
Bakoboele is out. He's going to be on injured reserve.
879
00:39:01.809 --> 00:39:03.809
His season is done. So there's a spot right there
880
00:39:04.550 --> 00:39:07.269
that the Packers have already had to kind of work through.
881
00:39:07.289 --> 00:39:07.409
Yeah.
882
00:39:07.989 --> 00:39:10.670
On Thursday's game. Who is out now, though? Who do
883
00:39:10.710 --> 00:39:11.070
you drop?
884
00:39:11.110 --> 00:39:13.789
Well, I did ask Peter Bukowski his thoughts on this
885
00:39:13.869 --> 00:39:16.840
yesterday during the show while we were on break, and
886
00:39:17.059 --> 00:39:19.480
he thought Travis Glover would be the odd guy out. Okay.
887
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:24.280
So right now on the depth chart, Travis Glover is, well,
888
00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:26.769
actually it looks like they already have some of the
889
00:39:26.789 --> 00:39:29.969
new guys slotted in here. Travis Glover is a backup right.
890
00:39:30.059 --> 00:39:34.460
tackle to Anthony Bilton on the depth chart. So, and
891
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:39.480
they have Lakin Tomlinson in here as a backup left guard.
892
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:40.059
They do.
893
00:39:40.340 --> 00:39:44.210
To Aaron Banks. What do you do here? Who would
894
00:39:44.250 --> 00:39:47.449
you go with? Banks or Tomlinson? Say both are healthy.
895
00:39:48.150 --> 00:39:48.230
Ooh.
896
00:39:48.780 --> 00:39:50.599
Well, I mean, Banks is going to get the nod.
897
00:39:50.619 --> 00:39:52.420
Okay.
898
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:54.659
It's his job to lose, is what I'm saying. Yeah,
899
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:57.420
if he's healthy. But, I mean, why couldn't you just
900
00:39:57.460 --> 00:39:59.360
play Tomlinson at right guard then?
901
00:39:59.780 --> 00:40:02.190
So, see, so there was conversation about that as well.
902
00:40:02.250 --> 00:40:03.309
Matt LaFleur was talking about it.
903
00:40:03.389 --> 00:40:05.190
Jacob Monk's got to get, ah, ah.
904
00:40:05.530 --> 00:40:06.150
Yeah, agreed.
905
00:40:06.449 --> 00:40:08.369
That's the one I'm looking at. Maybe be a backup
906
00:40:08.429 --> 00:40:11.289
center or something. I mean, they're basing everything on how
907
00:40:11.329 --> 00:40:14.789
he played in the Vikings game last year. And, okay,
908
00:40:15.469 --> 00:40:17.349
they haven't seen that since.
909
00:40:17.369 --> 00:40:17.489
No.
910
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:21.849
Well, here's what I would say is you could look
911
00:40:21.989 --> 00:40:25.429
at Tomlinson as a right guard, but keep him at guard.
912
00:40:25.789 --> 00:40:31.610
Don't get too hungry with trying to, or overzealous I
913
00:40:31.630 --> 00:40:34.860
should say, trying to shift players around in positions. Keep
914
00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:37.840
them at the right position and let them roll. That's
915
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:40.800
what I say about it. What do you say, score squad?
916
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:42.539

917

00:40:51.059 --> 00:40:51.360
Here it is.
921
00:40:51.659 --> 00:40:54.579
After yesterday's moves, do you think the problems on the
922
00:40:54.659 --> 00:40:56.340
offensive line for the Packers are fixed?
923
00:40:58.030 --> 00:41:00.769
Yeah, right. Fixed?
924
00:41:00.769 --> 00:41:02.010
95% say no.
925
00:41:03.110 --> 00:41:03.730
Smart people.
926
00:41:03.909 --> 00:41:06.289
Obviously, the options are yes or no. I voted no.
927
00:41:06.289 --> 00:41:11.739
5% say yes. I wonder what that 5% would say. Like,
928
00:41:11.820 --> 00:41:14.480
why do you think this fixes it? Who are these 5%? Exactly.
929
00:41:14.500 --> 00:41:15.340
And what are they smoking?
930
00:41:15.579 --> 00:41:16.800
Why is that? Why is that?
931
00:41:16.980 --> 00:41:18.900
What kind of drugs are you people taking out there?
932
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:19.199
No.
933
00:41:19.539 --> 00:41:23.269
The Packers offensive line is far from being fixed. It's
934
00:41:23.309 --> 00:41:30.969
about four beefy offensive linemen from being fixed. Four, like,
935
00:41:31.130 --> 00:41:34.789
farmer boy, Big Ten offensive linemen from being fixed. I'm
936
00:41:34.809 --> 00:41:37.489
talking Brian Balaga, Iowa. You know what I mean? Like,
937
00:41:37.510 --> 00:41:42.300
I'm talking these... Some of the Wisconsin guys. Rob Havenstein,
938
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:45.849
who had a great career. Like, some big.
939
00:41:46.070 --> 00:41:47.789
Who's the guy they drafted a few years ago and
940
00:41:47.809 --> 00:41:47.989
then they.
941
00:41:48.030 --> 00:41:48.630
Farmer boy.
942
00:41:48.690 --> 00:41:51.150
Cole Van Lannen out of Wisconsin. Now he's, like, doing
943
00:41:51.190 --> 00:41:52.369
really well in Jacksonville.
944
00:41:52.550 --> 00:41:52.730
Yep.
945
00:41:53.389 --> 00:41:56.929
They just... Okay. You do draft a couple of good
946
00:41:56.949 --> 00:41:58.570
players and then you cut them loose.
947
00:41:58.860 --> 00:41:59.090
Yes.
948
00:41:59.579 --> 00:42:03.199
Because you get stuck on... You get enamored with certain
949
00:42:03.239 --> 00:42:04.260
other players. Yes.
950
00:42:04.579 --> 00:42:05.880
I 100% agree with you.
951
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:07.400
I don't know why.
952
00:42:08.829 --> 00:42:12.030
There's such a lack in that, but like these Midwest guys,
953
00:42:12.590 --> 00:42:14.250
like I know TJ Lang didn't play in the big 10,
954
00:42:14.250 --> 00:42:17.460
but TJ Lang was a Midwest guy. Like have these
955
00:42:17.579 --> 00:42:20.280
beefy farm boys on your offensive line that fixes the
956
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:23.019
issue and, and, and coaching.
957
00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:27.719
I think that's at least half the problem. If not more,
958
00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:32.239
I think Stenovich was a decent offensive line coach. And
959
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:34.719
I think he's over his head a little bit as
960
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:37.610
offensive coordinator. I don't know what Budkis is doing again.
961
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:40.280
Butkus means bears to me.
962
00:42:41.579 --> 00:42:42.539
Yeah, that's true.
963
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:44.539
Send him packing back to the Bears. I think he's
964
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:48.699
a spy. I think he's sabotaging the Green Bay Packers.
965
00:42:48.909 --> 00:42:53.050
Well, I think ever since... I'm just kidding, by the way. Well,
966
00:42:53.090 --> 00:42:55.409
I think ever since, but on the coach's topic, ever
967
00:42:55.429 --> 00:42:58.449
since the Packers parted ways with James Campin, which was
968
00:42:58.849 --> 00:43:02.280
right around the start of LeFleur's tenure, the offensive line
969
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:03.880
has been in a solid decline.
970
00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:06.519
It has been. It has been. I think you need
971
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:12.530
to if banks can't play and these two of these
972
00:43:12.610 --> 00:43:14.980
three new acquisitions are ready, I think you plug them
973
00:43:15.059 --> 00:43:17.139
in because it can't get any worse.
974
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:18.039
Literally.
975
00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:19.559
Like how can it get worse?
976
00:43:19.820 --> 00:43:22.239
And if Becton's healthy, I mean, he was, I know
977
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:24.880
he gave up last year, a lot of pressures, but
978
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:28.690
I don't think it was healthy last year. I don't
979
00:43:28.769 --> 00:43:33.110
either really, but yeah, he was a bust. He was
980
00:43:33.230 --> 00:43:35.130
a high draft pick. He was a bust with the
981
00:43:35.190 --> 00:43:38.119
jets as a tackle, but when he, When he moved
982
00:43:38.139 --> 00:43:41.099
to guard, he was– again, we're trying to find that
983
00:43:41.139 --> 00:43:45.559
Mendoza line, that average. Just be average. Just don't be
984
00:43:45.619 --> 00:43:48.230
horrible anymore. We said that with the special teams. Now
985
00:43:48.250 --> 00:43:50.730
the special teams aren't horrible anymore. Now the offensive line
986
00:43:50.750 --> 00:43:53.630
is horrible. It's just like they've got to pick a
987
00:43:53.690 --> 00:43:56.030
segment of this team to be horrible. The running back
988
00:43:56.070 --> 00:43:59.840
room is abysmal too. I'm wondering if they might call
989
00:43:59.880 --> 00:44:02.730
someone up from the practice squad just to try to–
990
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:05.880
You have Pierre Strong and Damon Bankston, I believe, on
991
00:44:05.900 --> 00:44:06.599
the practice squad.
992
00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:09.219
Well, see, here's the thing. I don't mind what I've
993
00:44:09.239 --> 00:44:11.880
seen of Caleb Johnson so far, but they're not getting
994
00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:15.639
him touches. You run the ball nine times in a game.
995
00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:18.489
That doesn't tell me anything about what you have in
996
00:44:18.510 --> 00:44:19.289
your running back room.
997
00:44:19.429 --> 00:44:20.630
All right, how many tight ends do they have on
998
00:44:20.650 --> 00:44:23.389
the roster? They have Tucker Kraft, John U. Smith, Mark Redman,
999
00:44:23.949 --> 00:44:27.469
Josh Wiley. Can any of them block? Get them all
1000
00:44:27.510 --> 00:44:31.570
on the field. See what you can do. Just get
1001
00:44:31.610 --> 00:44:32.530
a running game going.
1002
00:44:33.300 --> 00:44:35.280
I'd say Redman and Wiley. I mean, I know you
1003
00:44:35.380 --> 00:44:37.900
probably need a third. I would keep Redman or Wiley
1004
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:40.570
and let the other one walk for the time being
1005
00:44:40.949 --> 00:44:43.989
and use that roster spot somewhere else. Maybe offensive lineman
1006
00:44:44.010 --> 00:44:48.489
where you're really thin? Just a thought. So Matt LaFleur
1007
00:44:49.150 --> 00:44:53.570
spoke to the media, and he seemed really, based on
1008
00:44:53.710 --> 00:44:58.110
my understanding and my perspective on it, he seemed like
1009
00:44:58.130 --> 00:45:00.050
he did not want to talk to the media. His
1010
00:45:00.090 --> 00:45:03.599
responses were very short. He wasn't really giving out much,
1011
00:45:03.659 --> 00:45:05.800
not that he gives out much anyways, but it just
1012
00:45:05.900 --> 00:45:08.420
seemed like I got better things to do. I'm not
1013
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:10.719
going to spend my time talking to him. I'm not
1014
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:11.969
trying to call him out and saying he was in
1015
00:45:11.989 --> 00:45:13.469
the wrong or anything like that. He's going to talk
1016
00:45:13.530 --> 00:45:16.500
on Wednesday on press conference day. But his responses were
1017
00:45:16.539 --> 00:45:18.539
very short. He wasn't really giving much to the media.
1018
00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:20.360
Not that he was being rude or anything like that.
1019
00:45:20.389 --> 00:45:22.110
I'm not saying he was. But take a listen for
1020
00:45:22.150 --> 00:45:25.090
yourself here. So he was asked, can Lakin Tomlinson and
1021
00:45:25.130 --> 00:45:28.289
Mekhi Becton and or Mekhi Becton help them out right away?
1022
00:45:28.389 --> 00:45:29.750
Rather short response, but here it is.
1023
00:45:29.809 --> 00:45:32.570
Potentially. I mean, we haven't been on the field with
1024
00:45:32.610 --> 00:45:34.550
him yet, so it's tough to say.
1025
00:45:34.650 --> 00:45:37.489
But I think as we progress through the week, we'll
1026
00:45:37.510 --> 00:45:38.710
have a better indication of that.
1027
00:45:40.070 --> 00:45:43.800
Again, very short. Didn't really give you much there. What
1028
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:44.659
is he supposed to say?
1029
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:45.199
But.
1030
00:45:46.429 --> 00:45:48.429
Maybe he can point out some strengths that he knows
1031
00:45:48.469 --> 00:45:50.989
of these players. Like, what did the Packers see in
1032
00:45:51.010 --> 00:45:53.679
these two players that they think can help them right away?
1033
00:45:54.070 --> 00:45:55.960
Beckton's got really great footwork. We're going to focus on
1034
00:45:55.980 --> 00:45:58.960
that strength with him. Tomlinson, he's a very strong guy.
1035
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:00.760
How can we use his strength to protect Jordan Love
1036
00:46:00.780 --> 00:46:04.119
a little more? Like, just give anything. And nothing was
1037
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:07.010
really there. Again, maybe I'm just asking for too much information.
1038
00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:11.619
in my role here, but I could be wrong again.
1039
00:46:11.659 --> 00:46:13.539
It wasn't rude or anything like that. I just, it
1040
00:46:13.579 --> 00:46:15.739
just didn't seem like he was willing to give out
1041
00:46:15.860 --> 00:46:17.360
much and not that he ever really is.
1042
00:46:17.420 --> 00:46:19.099
Well, not a lot of things are going well for
1043
00:46:19.139 --> 00:46:23.480
him right now. And it's, if you know, our texters
1044
00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:25.440
are already saying, you know, if they lose to a
1045
00:46:25.699 --> 00:46:30.989
backup quarterback again, how hot is his seat going to be?
1046
00:46:31.250 --> 00:46:31.449
Yeah.
1047
00:46:31.909 --> 00:46:34.329
It's going to be hot, my friends. Yep. I mean,
1048
00:46:34.369 --> 00:46:37.079
if they, fall to one and three in the easiest
1049
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:40.139
part of their schedule. I mean, they're catching some breaks here.
1050
00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:40.840
I know.
1051
00:46:40.860 --> 00:46:42.360
And they're not taking advantage of it.
1052
00:46:42.500 --> 00:46:42.699
Yeah.
1053
00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:45.199
I mean, you knock Kyler Murray out of the game.
1054
00:46:45.860 --> 00:46:47.929
At that time, I was like, be careful what you
1055
00:46:47.949 --> 00:46:50.010
wish for. I had a feeling he was– he didn't
1056
00:46:50.030 --> 00:46:52.130
look that great this past Sunday.
1057
00:46:53.289 --> 00:46:53.409
No.
1058
00:46:53.469 --> 00:46:55.769
I played against him in a league, and, of course,
1059
00:46:55.829 --> 00:46:56.250
I won.
1060
00:46:58.199 --> 00:46:58.610
Thank you.
1061
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:00.960
You're welcome. No, you didn't have him.
1062
00:47:01.219 --> 00:47:01.659
Oh, differently.
1063
00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:04.059
Ray Kuyper in the Scubas League.
1064
00:47:04.829 --> 00:47:07.010
So the Packers, I mean, you're right, looking at the
1065
00:47:07.050 --> 00:47:12.920
schedule here, there's no reason coming into this season that
1066
00:47:12.940 --> 00:47:15.900
you would stem to believe they wouldn't start 4-0. You
1067
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:18.679
get the Vikings, you get a backup early in the game,
1068
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:21.039
you get the Jets, you get the Falcons who are 0-2,
1069
00:47:21.059 --> 00:47:23.380
you get the winless Buccaneers. You should be 4-0 heading
1070
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:23.960
into Bears week.
1071
00:47:24.139 --> 00:47:31.250
So if you're 1-3 and then suddenly you have the Bears, Cowboys, Lions, Panthers, Patriots,
1072
00:47:31.809 --> 00:47:33.510
I know you said they're going to beat the Patriots now,
1073
00:47:33.530 --> 00:47:34.389
but I don't see that happening.
1074
00:47:34.409 --> 00:47:35.389
Not great, Bob.
1075
00:47:35.510 --> 00:47:38.659
Not in New England. New England's going to turn it around.
1076
00:47:38.699 --> 00:47:40.139
I don't know.
1077
00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:41.920
Drake May looks really bad to start the year.
1078
00:47:42.099 --> 00:47:47.400
Yeah, there's something going on there. And then the Vikings again.
1079
00:47:47.420 --> 00:47:52.349
At the Rams, the Saints are putting up video game numbers.
1080
00:47:52.530 --> 00:47:57.269
Tyler Shuck, yeah. You lose this week, you may lose
1081
00:47:57.309 --> 00:47:59.449
this team, and you may be looking at a three-win team.
1082
00:48:00.469 --> 00:48:01.309
Wouldn't that be something?
1083
00:48:02.130 --> 00:48:04.369
That's why this is such a big game this week.
1084
00:48:05.289 --> 00:48:09.070
You've got to show signs of improving. These moves you
1085
00:48:09.090 --> 00:48:12.090
made on the offensive line put you in a position
1086
00:48:12.110 --> 00:48:15.539
to win a football game. But again, the defense just
1087
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:21.239
has to come out and just throw different schemes and
1088
00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:23.940
sets that this kid has never seen before. He's an
1089
00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:26.800
undrafted free agent. I know we talked about him on
1090
00:48:26.840 --> 00:48:29.940
our draft coverage. He's a running quarterback.
1091
00:48:30.099 --> 00:48:30.280
Yeah.
1092
00:48:30.949 --> 00:48:34.900
So be careful of that. But I don't know, man.
1093
00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:38.800
It's going to get ugly. It could be a very
1094
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:39.460
blue Monday.
1095
00:48:39.659 --> 00:48:40.440
Things are dicey.
1096
00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:40.780
Yeah.
1097
00:48:40.940 --> 00:48:43.039
Things are dicey, to say the least. Young Vern says,
1098
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:49.159
everybody's a bust on the Jets. Well, maybe, but it
1099
00:48:49.179 --> 00:48:50.659
didn't seem that way when the Packers played them.
1100
00:48:51.619 --> 00:48:52.739
Yeah, they almost beat Green Bay.
1101
00:48:52.900 --> 00:48:53.079
Yeah.
1102
00:48:53.789 --> 00:48:55.230
We're going to end hour number one right here. When
1103
00:48:55.250 --> 00:48:56.849
we come back, hour number two of the show with
1104
00:48:56.889 --> 00:48:58.670
Tony G and Leo, some talk and crew right out
1105
00:48:58.690 --> 00:49:00.190
of the gate, and then we'll be joined by Brian
1106
00:49:00.210 --> 00:49:02.710
Butch for some Bucky banter after the Badgers' big win
1107
00:49:02.769 --> 00:49:05.090
at Penn State on Saturday. Don't go anywhere. A good
1108
00:49:05.130 --> 00:49:07.309
second hour planned for you. You're listening to the show
1109
00:49:07.349 --> 00:49:08.869
with Tony G and Leo right here on 95.3, 99.1.
1110
00:49:08.849 --> 00:49:09.219

00:49:10.309 --> 00:49:19.579

00:49:32.630 --> 00:49:35.409
It's the show with Tony G and Leo. What a
1116
00:49:35.530 --> 00:49:36.230
sick joke.
1117
00:49:36.309 --> 00:49:38.369
Not a single job in this town.
1118
00:49:38.469 --> 00:49:42.079
There is nothing, nada, zip. Yeah, unless you want to
1119

Talk and text line at 920-281-1570.
1122
00:49:49.659 --> 00:49:52.050
As we say in the radio business, if you put
1123
00:49:52.090 --> 00:49:54.440
that on the radio, people will listen to it.
1124
00:49:54.469 --> 00:49:56.369
Follow on X at Tony G Nation.
1125
00:49:56.489 --> 00:49:58.369
Should I say yes to me bringing in your mail, please?
1126
00:49:58.570 --> 00:50:01.210
He's a good, hard-working boy. Let him bring in your mail.
1127
00:50:01.429 --> 00:50:05.159
And at Leo Kuyper Jr. The show goes on! Here's
1128
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:06.559
Tony G and Leo.
1129
00:50:08.619 --> 00:50:10.360
Hour number two of the show with Tony G and
1130
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:14.320
Leo starts right now, right here on 95.3, 99.1 The Score.

00:50:15.269 --> 00:50:18.489
I'm Tony G. That's Leo Kuyper Jr. This is the
1132
00:50:18.530 --> 00:50:19.420

1133
00:50:19.429 --> 00:50:19.570
Hi, Tony.
1134
00:50:21.570 --> 00:50:22.050
Hi, Tony.
1135
00:50:22.469 --> 00:50:22.840
Hi, Leo.
1136
00:50:22.989 --> 00:50:23.860
Hour two already.
1137
00:50:23.889 --> 00:50:24.139
Wow.
1138
00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:27.179
I know. We're cruising. We're moving. We're shaking up things.
1139
00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:28.159
Things happen fast.
1140

We're making it happen. People dig us. Oh, we're fun.
1141
00:50:33.639 --> 00:50:35.019
Oh, we're entertaining. All right.
1142
00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:35.639

What do you say to that again? Thescorewisconsin.
1161
00:51:36.789 --> 00:51:37.230
That's good.
1162
00:51:37.329 --> 00:51:38.570
Should I say it in my announcer voice?
1163
00:51:39.070 --> 00:51:41.409
Thescorewisconsin. I think you just did.
1164
00:51:41.429 --> 00:51:43.639
Oh, okay. The hour number two sports menu is brought
1165

to you by Tanner's Grill and Bar, conveniently located... At 730,
1166
00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:50.500
that's 730 South Railroad Street in Kimberly.
1167
00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:51.699

just by going to Kuyper Manor.
1170
00:51:57.090 --> 00:52:00.070
Don't go to Kuyper Manor. Go to Tanner's. That's the
1171
00:52:00.090 --> 00:52:00.710
place to go.
1172
00:52:00.769 --> 00:52:03.449
Hour number two brings us Talkin' Crew. Pros and cons
1173
00:52:03.489 --> 00:52:05.190
to a first round buy. We'll talk about that in
1174
00:52:05.230 --> 00:52:08.469
just a moment. Wild card round starts today. Take a
1175
00:52:08.469 --> 00:52:10.449
look at some of the matchups. Actually, it's starting right now.
1176
00:52:11.210 --> 00:52:13.650
Phillies Braves, as you see on my cellular.
1177
00:52:14.010 --> 00:52:14.650
I see that.
1178
00:52:14.670 --> 00:52:17.909
That's right. It's on Peacock, so I can turn the
1179
00:52:17.949 --> 00:52:19.389
game on and just have it on, just like the
1180
00:52:19.429 --> 00:52:24.289
rest of the TVs around here. Bucky Banter. Brian Butch
1181
00:52:24.309 --> 00:52:26.869
will join the program at 1.20, about less than 10 minutes.
1182
00:52:27.289 --> 00:52:27.909
That he will.
1183
00:52:27.929 --> 00:52:28.650
He'll be excited.
1184
00:52:29.090 --> 00:52:31.190
And wrap it up. That's your show menu. Hour number two,

Let's do it.

1198
00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:04.199
a look at the pros and cons to a first-round
1199
00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:05.559
buy in the playoffs.
1200
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:06.579
All right, okay.
1201
00:53:06.820 --> 00:53:10.360
Is this something that you are aware of? Like, are
1202
00:53:10.380 --> 00:53:12.360
you worried with a first-round buy coming out flat?
1203
00:53:12.380 --> 00:53:12.440
No.
1204
00:53:12.699 --> 00:53:12.860
No?
1205
00:53:13.199 --> 00:53:13.280
No.
1206
00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:16.280
They didn't last year. I mean, they had their best game.
1207
00:53:16.300 --> 00:53:16.440
True.
1208
00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:19.719
They had their best game of the series. They came
1209
00:53:19.780 --> 00:53:23.030
out hitting the ball just like they did on Sunday. Yeah, granted,
1210
00:53:23.750 --> 00:53:26.230
they played right until the end, and they were playing
1211
00:53:26.269 --> 00:53:31.349
good baseball. But I think they get some rest for
1212
00:53:31.389 --> 00:53:36.269
these arms, the banged-up players. I mean, we don't know
1213
00:53:36.309 --> 00:53:39.719
about a lot of behind-the-scenes. I mean, Joey Ortiz just
1214
00:53:40.780 --> 00:53:43.300
hurt his knee the other day. He needs this time off.
1215
00:53:43.769 --> 00:53:45.510
I think he's going to be an integral part of
1216
00:53:45.590 --> 00:53:48.429
this team. There's an article up on the Journal Sentinel
1217
00:53:48.469 --> 00:53:51.429
this morning about how he went from being the worst
1218
00:53:51.469 --> 00:53:54.769
hitter in baseball in everyone's eyes to a player that's
1219
00:53:55.489 --> 00:54:00.429
probably going to contribute to their drive to a World Series. So, yeah, no,
1220
00:54:00.469 --> 00:54:01.449
I'm not worried about it at all.
1221
00:54:01.610 --> 00:54:04.199
Well, let's take a look at the most recent couple
1222
00:54:04.219 --> 00:54:07.760
of years here in Major League Baseball. Last year, three
1223
00:54:07.860 --> 00:54:13.710
of the four first-round buys advanced. Okay, so three of four. 2024.
1224
00:54:13.710 --> 00:54:20.679
Three of four teams with buys advanced. Yeah. Okay. 2023.
1225
00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:24.760
Three of four first-round buys did not advance.
1226
00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:25.380
Okay.
1227
00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:27.079
So, I mean, it kind of goes by year. I
1228
00:54:27.280 --> 00:54:30.230
think it depends on really who the teams are. But
1229
00:54:31.090 --> 00:54:33.190
it is something I've always been aware of. You don't
1230
00:54:33.230 --> 00:54:34.809
want teams to come out flat. I think it is
1231
00:54:34.849 --> 00:54:36.829
best-case scenario. Don't get me wrong, but you get a buy.
1232
00:54:37.130 --> 00:54:38.929
But I don't want teams to come out flat. I
1233
00:54:38.969 --> 00:54:41.159
want them to still have an edge to them. You're
1234
00:54:41.179 --> 00:54:44.719
getting a team that, is coming off of a playoff
1235
00:54:45.119 --> 00:54:47.519
series win already to advance. So they have a little
1236
00:54:47.539 --> 00:54:51.079
bit of momentum. That can spell danger if you're not
1237
00:54:51.119 --> 00:54:52.699
careful about it. That's all I say about it.
1238
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:56.989
I think there's a difference in resting guys during the
1239
00:54:57.030 --> 00:55:00.550
regular season, like Council used to do, and then coming
1240
00:55:00.590 --> 00:55:03.090
out flat as opposed to playing right up until the
1241
00:55:03.230 --> 00:55:06.139
end and just like, hey, you guys, you just worked
1242
00:55:06.159 --> 00:55:10.059
your tails off. Just take these three, four, five days off,
1243
00:55:10.239 --> 00:55:14.219
and I'm sure they're going to be practicing more. And meanwhile,
1244
00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:19.050
just kind of watching the series in San Diego. And
1245
00:55:19.070 --> 00:55:21.449
hopefully it goes three games. I mean, you're hoping for three.
1246
00:55:22.300 --> 00:55:26.130
Trapper Bob and Nina says, what is Woodruff's status? Well,
1247
00:55:26.150 --> 00:55:29.530
the last update I heard is that he has clearance
1248
00:55:30.269 --> 00:55:32.530
to begin throwing off a pitching mound.
1249
00:55:32.610 --> 00:55:32.829
Yeah.
1250
00:55:33.469 --> 00:55:37.130
I don't know that he'll be back this year. It's
1251
00:55:37.829 --> 00:55:38.550
slim to none.
1252
00:55:38.769 --> 00:55:38.889
Yeah.
1253
00:55:39.780 --> 00:55:41.440
I mean, if he would come back. I mean, if
1254
00:55:41.480 --> 00:55:43.780
he's just going to start throwing off a mound. I mean,
1255
00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:45.349
where are you going to do? Rehabs now?
1256
00:55:45.949 --> 00:55:46.150
Yeah.
1257
00:55:46.469 --> 00:55:47.070
I mean, maybe.
1258
00:55:47.289 --> 00:55:49.429
You know, I don't know.
1259
00:55:50.070 --> 00:55:51.869
I would say best case scenario, you get to the
1260
00:55:51.909 --> 00:55:54.010
World Series and you activate him for the playoff roster.
1261
00:55:54.030 --> 00:55:54.929
That's a possibility.
1262
00:55:55.110 --> 00:55:56.070
For the World Series roster.
1263
00:55:56.110 --> 00:55:57.530
That would be late October.
1264
00:55:57.739 --> 00:55:57.960
Yeah.
1265
00:55:58.719 --> 00:56:00.099
So, I don't know.
1266
00:56:00.179 --> 00:56:03.340
Like, can he be ready to throw competitively in three weeks?
1267
00:56:04.820 --> 00:56:06.460
I don't know. It's a possibility.
1268
00:56:06.659 --> 00:56:09.989
I guess. Maybe in that case, yes, he can. He
1269
00:56:10.050 --> 00:56:12.889
can forego any further damage he would do to his
1270
00:56:12.969 --> 00:56:15.329
arm because he's probably going to go, this is the
1271
00:56:15.449 --> 00:56:16.929
only opportunity I'm going to get to throw in a
1272
00:56:16.949 --> 00:56:20.559
World Series, probably the last. So I'm going to go
1273
00:56:20.880 --> 00:56:22.119
and I'm going to give it my all. If he
1274
00:56:22.139 --> 00:56:25.420
gives you, like, best case scenario for me, well, I
1275
00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:27.480
shouldn't say best case, best case scenario, he comes back
1276
00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:32.260
right now. But, like, most likely, like, at minimum, I
1277
00:56:32.300 --> 00:56:34.590
would be happy with three to four innings in a
1278
00:56:34.610 --> 00:56:35.329
World Series game.
1279
00:56:35.989 --> 00:56:36.170
Right?
1280
00:56:36.289 --> 00:56:39.590
Like, put him out there. In game four, when you
1281
00:56:39.610 --> 00:56:41.630
have a bullpen day, you have a lot of guys
1282
00:56:41.670 --> 00:56:44.889
who can go, have them give you two, three, four
1283
00:56:44.949 --> 00:56:48.710
innings at max of shutout baseball. That is a win.
1284
00:56:49.110 --> 00:56:51.929
If you get that in game four of a World Series,
1285
00:56:51.949 --> 00:56:54.460
and this is, again, looking way in the future, I
1286
00:56:54.480 --> 00:56:56.159
would be happy with it. I would take it and run,
1287
00:56:56.619 --> 00:56:58.940
because you're probably getting the best version of Brandon Woodruff
1288
00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:03.300
at that point. A quick note here from Connor, formerly
1289
00:57:03.460 --> 00:57:04.739
of the 920, two stage laughs.
1290
00:57:04.880 --> 00:57:05.099
Nice.
1291
00:57:05.619 --> 00:57:07.719
Yeah, I did a two... Don't even think you picked
1292
00:57:07.780 --> 00:57:08.179
up on that.
1293
00:57:08.300 --> 00:57:08.900
About your club?
1294
00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:11.380
That's just for Connor.
1295
00:57:11.639 --> 00:57:12.119
That's true.
1296
00:57:12.639 --> 00:57:13.440
Trying to get that Vinny.
1297
00:57:13.860 --> 00:57:16.460
Well, again, so the Brewers are off until Saturday. We
1298
00:57:16.519 --> 00:57:19.500
don't know the time of the games for the NLDS.
1299
00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:24.820
Well, if we use our common sense, there's a couple
1300
00:57:24.860 --> 00:57:29.639
of East Coast games. It'll probably be the early starts.
1301
00:57:30.860 --> 00:57:33.699
And there's a West Coast game, so it'll be somewhere
1302
00:57:33.719 --> 00:57:34.199
in between.
1303
00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:38.480
Well, so for right now, Like, the Brewers are going
1304
00:57:38.500 --> 00:57:41.019
to get the winner of the Cubs-Padres, which, by the way,
1305
00:57:41.079 --> 00:57:43.699
does not start until 9 o'clock Central Time tonight.
1306
00:57:43.980 --> 00:57:47.599
Right. So, say the Cubs go three games and they
1307
00:57:47.619 --> 00:57:51.179
win this series, and you're playing in that game three,
1308
00:57:51.320 --> 00:57:52.519
and then you've got to fly back.
1309
00:57:52.820 --> 00:57:53.480
Yeah.
1310
00:57:53.679 --> 00:57:56.219
Yeah, you'll get one day somewhat of a day off,
1311
00:57:56.659 --> 00:57:58.199
but then you've got to come back and play right away.
1312
00:57:58.280 --> 00:58:00.380
Yeah, right now there are no games scheduled for Friday,
1313
00:58:00.420 --> 00:58:01.099
October 2nd.
1314
00:58:01.260 --> 00:58:01.440
Right.
1315
00:58:02.239 --> 00:58:04.320
Because all these series will be wrapped up, and teams
1316
00:58:04.340 --> 00:58:05.730
are going to be ready for the NLDS.
1317
00:58:06.269 --> 00:58:09.070
Yeah, so back to your original question on when you
1318
00:58:09.090 --> 00:58:12.199
think the game's going to start, I would say late afternoon,
1319
00:58:12.300 --> 00:58:15.699
early evening, because the Dodger game will be late.
1320
00:58:15.860 --> 00:58:19.059
Do you have any predictions for this Cubs-Padres series? Who
1321
00:58:19.559 --> 00:58:21.760
do you want the Brewers to play? Who are we
1322
00:58:21.820 --> 00:58:22.860
rooting for here?
1323
00:58:23.559 --> 00:58:28.820
I'm leaning towards the Cubs just because the West Coast thing,
1324
00:58:29.099 --> 00:58:33.579
the sweep in San Diego, they just traditionally, you go
1325
00:58:33.599 --> 00:58:35.500
out to the West Coast, you don't, I don't know,
1326
00:58:38.019 --> 00:58:38.760
I think the Cubs.
1327
00:58:39.219 --> 00:58:39.599
I do too.
1328
00:58:39.929 --> 00:58:42.610
But the Cubs scare me. What I want to see
1329
00:58:42.650 --> 00:58:44.969
is this series go three games, a couple of extra
1330
00:58:45.010 --> 00:58:47.050
inning games, pitching is taxed.
1331
00:58:47.210 --> 00:58:47.510
Yes.
1332
00:58:47.949 --> 00:58:49.050
Use your bullpen, teams.
1333
00:58:49.150 --> 00:58:51.630
And then just get out to a quick 2-0 lead
1334
00:58:51.670 --> 00:58:53.650
in the series, kind of like what they did last year,
1335
00:58:53.690 --> 00:58:56.719
and then steal one on the road if possible. I
1336
00:58:56.739 --> 00:58:59.440
think their chances are better of winning in Chicago than
1337
00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:01.340
they are in San Diego.
1338
00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:02.639
I agree.
1339
00:59:02.679 --> 00:59:05.239
It's like 51-49 for me. That could be a good
1340
00:59:05.260 --> 00:59:06.659
poll question, That's true.
1341
00:59:07.139 --> 00:59:07.360
Yeah.
1342
00:59:07.530 --> 00:59:10.760
I think here's what I want. I agree with you.
1343
00:59:10.940 --> 00:59:13.360
I think the better matchup for Milwaukee are the Cubs.
1344
00:59:13.760 --> 00:59:16.599
They've had success against them all year. Their bullpen is
1345
00:59:16.639 --> 00:59:17.760
like the Packers' offensive line.
1346
00:59:18.010 --> 00:59:18.489
It sucks.
1347
00:59:19.489 --> 00:59:21.710
And it's just they match up better. You match up
1348
00:59:21.769 --> 00:59:23.849
against the Padres very poorly if you're the Brewers.
1349
00:59:23.869 --> 00:59:25.949
And the Padres are red hot, and they got hot.
1350
00:59:25.989 --> 00:59:26.329
Red hot.
1351
00:59:26.940 --> 00:59:29.260
When they played the Brewers, they turned their whole season around.
1352
00:59:29.340 --> 00:59:29.559
Yes.
1353
00:59:29.840 --> 00:59:33.920
And they have the best closer in the game. Yeah,
1354
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:34.940
I'm going with the Cubs.
1355
00:59:34.980 --> 00:59:37.380
The other thing, yes, the Brewers do not play well
1356
00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:39.239
out west. But the other thing to keep in mind,
1357
00:59:39.300 --> 00:59:41.510
and I've been saying this for years, before I got
1358
00:59:41.789 --> 00:59:45.070
on the show with you, Leo, is that San Diego
1359
00:59:45.570 --> 00:59:49.710
is the most underrated, difficult place to play in the postseason.
1360
00:59:49.730 --> 00:59:49.989
It is.
1361
00:59:50.230 --> 00:59:52.159
Like, watch what happened when the Dodgers went there. I
1362
00:59:52.179 --> 00:59:54.539
think the Dodgers ended up winning that series, but still
1363
00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:57.260
the beat LA chance, and I mean, the Padres play
1364
00:59:57.300 --> 01:00:01.190
extremely well at home in the playoffs. Petco Park is
1365
01:00:01.309 --> 01:00:02.670
not a place you want to play in the postseason.
1366
01:00:02.690 --> 01:00:06.269
I think if San Diego comes away with this wild
1367
01:00:06.289 --> 01:00:10.389
card victory in this series, I think it's going five games.
1368
01:00:10.409 --> 01:00:11.690
Yeah, I would say so.
1369
01:00:11.690 --> 01:00:12.469
It's going five games.
1370
01:00:12.590 --> 01:00:12.789
Yep.
1371
01:00:13.429 --> 01:00:16.369
So tonight, it's Matthew Boyd going for the Cubs and
1372
01:00:16.409 --> 01:00:19.469
Michael King. And Michael King's one of the better pitchers
1373
01:00:19.510 --> 01:00:20.949
in baseball. 321 ERA, a 12-game winner this year.
1374
01:00:21.010 --> 01:00:21.250
And no....
1375
01:00:24.199 --> 01:00:26.650
Starters are slated for the rest of the series of
1376
01:00:26.690 --> 01:00:29.409
these two teams. So TBD for each squad the rest
1377
01:00:29.469 --> 01:00:29.829
of the way.
1378
01:00:29.969 --> 01:00:33.269
Well, there's Credit Union Phil giving his two cents on
1379
01:00:33.289 --> 01:00:35.789
the Cease Electronics text line. If it was up to me,
1380
01:00:35.909 --> 01:00:38.690
give me the Padres. I know we got swept by
1381
01:00:38.730 --> 01:00:41.510
them the last time we played, but I don't need
1382
01:00:41.550 --> 01:00:46.409
to have the national announcers constantly glazing PCA for nine
1383
01:00:46.489 --> 01:00:49.829
innings every game, single game. I'll skip that entirely. Give
1384
01:00:49.849 --> 01:00:52.570
me the Padres. Yeah, but how nice would it be, Phil,
1385
01:00:52.590 --> 01:00:57.219
to beat them back-to-back? years yeah and the brewers have
1386
01:00:57.320 --> 01:00:58.900
not i'm gonna knock on wood right now is anyone
1387
01:00:58.920 --> 01:01:01.880
in the studio no next door knocking on wood i
1388
01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:04.800
mean they pretty much shut down pca this year.
1389
01:01:04.820 --> 01:01:06.960
Yes we got to get to a break because it's
1390
01:01:06.980 --> 01:01:09.420
time for a lucky banter with brian butch before we
1391
01:01:09.440 --> 01:01:11.079
do a message from leo kuiper jr.
1392
01:01:11.079 --> 01:01:13.610
Yeah we have a special announcement uh obviously we have
1393
01:01:13.719 --> 01:01:17.869
ads running for the big oktoberfest pre-game polka party on
1394
01:01:17.889 --> 01:01:21.710
the patio sunday october 11th at riverside bar and grill
1395
01:01:21.829 --> 01:01:25.400
but Oh, by the way, Tom Schneider's two-fifths party band
1396
01:01:25.420 --> 01:01:29.719
plays noon right up until kickoff. Well, the game just
1397
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:32.460
got switched to noon, so the band is going to
1398
01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:35.679
start a little later. They're going to play one until four.
1399
01:01:37.260 --> 01:01:40.960
Still going to have the Bratz kraut, plenty of Oktoberfest
1400
01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:44.429
beer on tap. And, yeah, there will be a nice, hopefully,
1401
01:01:44.449 --> 01:01:49.090
a post-game polka party after knocking the Bears off. Hopefully
1402
01:01:49.110 --> 01:01:50.369
they play the Bears still suck.
1403
01:01:50.650 --> 01:01:51.110
That'd be sweet.
1404
01:01:51.130 --> 01:01:54.969
I'm pretty sure they do. So, yeah, that's Sunday, October 11th,
1405
01:01:54.969 --> 01:01:58.880
1 until 4, and we'll get the radio commercial updated
1406
01:01:58.909 --> 01:02:01.090
as well. There you have it.
1407
01:02:01.300 --> 01:02:04.679
That's a good message. One more text here from Credit
1408
01:02:04.760 --> 01:02:08.679
Union Phil. See his electronic talking text line. Weave, the Brewers,
1409
01:02:09.119 --> 01:02:10.940
beat the Cubs over and over again this year for
1410
01:02:10.960 --> 01:02:12.989
the last five years. I don't think we need to
1411
01:02:13.030 --> 01:02:16.949
prove anything to them. I don't even know if, honestly,
1412
01:02:16.969 --> 01:02:20.000
they're competition anymore. Phil's just got to bug up his
1413
01:02:20.039 --> 01:02:22.099
butt about Pete Crow Armstrong. That might be it.
1414
01:02:22.139 --> 01:02:23.420
He just despises him.
1415
01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:25.920
We don't know the time of the game for the NLDS.
1416
01:02:26.059 --> 01:02:27.519
All we know is that it will be on Fox
1417
01:02:27.559 --> 01:02:30.610
or FS1. Fox is carrying the National League side of
1418
01:02:30.630 --> 01:02:31.650
the playoffs this year.
1419
01:02:31.929 --> 01:02:35.190
My prediction, late afternoon, early evening. Okay. When do we
1420
01:02:35.250 --> 01:02:37.449
actually find out? After the series?
1421
01:02:37.510 --> 01:02:38.690
Probably Friday, yeah.
1422
01:02:38.989 --> 01:02:40.210
I mean, if you're going to the game, don't you
1423
01:02:40.250 --> 01:02:40.929
need to make plans?
1424
01:02:41.550 --> 01:02:46.079
Yeah, yeah. If you have tickets to this weekend's NLDS
1425
01:02:46.380 --> 01:02:48.260
in Milwaukee, just keep both days open.
1426
01:02:48.840 --> 01:02:51.579
Oh, Phil. If Phil doesn't get a fantasy win this year,
1427
01:02:51.619 --> 01:02:53.659
by the way, he's 0-3, he's going to buy a
1428
01:02:53.780 --> 01:02:55.590
PCA jersey and wear it to the party.
1429
01:02:55.869 --> 01:02:56.409
Oh, boy.
1430
01:02:56.489 --> 01:02:57.010
All right.
1431
01:02:57.730 --> 01:02:59.650
I can't wait to see that, if it happens.
1432
01:03:00.110 --> 01:03:04.739
Phil, you need to start making some waiver wire acquisitions.
1433
01:03:05.110 --> 01:03:05.550
That's true.
1434
01:03:06.059 --> 01:03:08.340
Bucky Banter, Brian Butch coming up on the other side.
1435
01:03:08.360 --> 01:03:13.159
Don't go anywhere.
1436
01:03:13.739 --> 01:03:16.639
You're listening to the show with Tony G and Leo.
1437
01:03:27.849 --> 01:03:29.630
Welcome back to the show with Tony G and Leo
1438
01:03:29.710 --> 01:03:34.630
right here on 95.399.1 The Score. Time for Bucky Banter
1439
01:03:34.650 --> 01:03:36.429
with Brian Butch brought to you by the Stone Toad
1440
01:03:36.449 --> 01:03:39.329
Bar and Grill, home of the original 7-Hour Happy Hour,
1441
01:03:39.329 --> 01:03:44.230
1109 Oneida Street in Menasha. Go to stonetoadbarandgrill.com. We bring
1442
01:03:44.269 --> 01:03:48.389
on Brian Butch of Butchie's Den, Big Ten Network Badgers
1443
01:03:48.429 --> 01:03:49.570
Radio for some Bucky Banter.
1444
01:03:50.110 --> 01:03:50.510
Hi, Brian.
1445
01:03:50.530 --> 01:03:51.110
How are you today?
1446
01:03:52.699 --> 01:03:55.739
I'm doing great, especially after Saturday. How are you guys doing?
1447
01:03:55.880 --> 01:03:56.000
Hi.
1448
01:03:56.690 --> 01:03:58.730
Also great. It was a fun game to watch. I'll
1449
01:03:58.750 --> 01:03:59.190
tell you that much.
1450
01:03:59.230 --> 01:04:01.820
Needed that after the Thursday night debacle, Brian.
1451
01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:06.039
Well, we're not talking about the Packers. They don't play hard.
1452
01:04:06.079 --> 01:04:08.119
They don't play with any power. It's amazing.
1453
01:04:08.139 --> 01:04:10.019
When you get down, if you play hard, you give
1454
01:04:10.059 --> 01:04:12.400
yourself a chance. And that's exactly what the Badgers did.
1455
01:04:12.800 --> 01:04:17.250
The Packers, we're not talking about. We'll talk Badgers. Let's
1456
01:04:17.289 --> 01:04:21.849
just leave it at that. It's just unbelievable. What happens
1457
01:04:21.889 --> 01:04:24.469
when you don't play hard? That's all Packer fans want.
1458
01:04:24.530 --> 01:04:27.269
Play hard and you won't get booed. It's that simple. Yep.
1459
01:04:27.650 --> 01:04:30.429
Stark contrast between the two teams from over this past weekend.
1460
01:04:30.469 --> 01:04:33.659
And I saw your reaction video on X at Brian
1461
01:04:33.699 --> 01:04:36.840
underscore Butch 32 for listeners who want to follow Brian
1462
01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:38.679
on X. I listened to the video. I watched the
1463
01:04:38.719 --> 01:04:40.940
video of you, Butch. And just give us your reaction
1464
01:04:40.980 --> 01:04:43.559
to the Badgers' victory on Saturday night here for our airwaves.
1465
01:04:43.840 --> 01:04:44.400
How did you feel?
1466
01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:46.679
How did it make you feel? And walk us through
1467
01:04:46.739 --> 01:04:49.949
watching those final moments go down in Penn State.
1468
01:04:51.579 --> 01:04:53.139
Yeah, I think when you look at it, the defense
1469
01:04:53.179 --> 01:04:56.599
was phenomenal. Offensively, there's still a work in progress, which
1470
01:04:56.639 --> 01:04:59.239
when you have as many new players that Wisconsin has,
1471
01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:03.199
you're going to see that. But again, I talk about
1472
01:05:03.260 --> 01:05:07.039
the fight and understanding what needs to happen, and that's
1473
01:05:07.099 --> 01:05:10.139
exactly what they showed. I think that, to me, is
1474
01:05:10.219 --> 01:05:13.369
a great example of what this team can do to
1475
01:05:13.389 --> 01:05:15.909
be built on. Now, here's the thing. We talked about Saturday,
1476
01:05:15.929 --> 01:05:17.170
but the realistic thing is, like.
1477
01:05:19.380 --> 01:05:20.280
How do you respond?
1478
01:05:20.679 --> 01:05:24.070
How do you respond to success? This team hasn't had
1479
01:05:24.110 --> 01:05:27.250
to deal with that in a long time. So ultimately,
1480
01:05:27.289 --> 01:05:30.329
that's the question now against Michigan State. What do they
1481
01:05:30.369 --> 01:05:31.789
do and how do they respond to this?
1482
01:05:33.789 --> 01:05:36.909
Brian, I made a comment yesterday to Tony. I thought
1483
01:05:36.949 --> 01:05:39.909
the defense, and let's talk more about the defense, I
1484
01:05:39.969 --> 01:05:42.590
thought they kept them in the game. They kept that
1485
01:05:42.659 --> 01:05:46.590
game close. Was that a product of Penn State kind
1486
01:05:46.610 --> 01:05:48.630
of going conservative a little bit in the second half.
1487
01:05:48.690 --> 01:05:49.929
I mean, let's face it, if they don't get a
1488
01:05:49.989 --> 01:05:54.590
pick six and another interception, that game's a lot closer.
1489
01:05:54.630 --> 01:05:57.030
And think about that when you talk about the defense.
1490
01:05:57.389 --> 01:05:59.800
And is this a defense that we're going to see
1491
01:05:59.840 --> 01:06:01.360
the rest of the year in Big Ten play?
1492
01:06:03.139 --> 01:06:06.480
Yeah, I think it is. Obviously, yeah, you're talking about
1493
01:06:06.500 --> 01:06:08.179
some things that have to go your way, but that's
1494
01:06:08.260 --> 01:06:11.619
any football game. But I thought the tenacity of what
1495
01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:13.550
they played with and thought the way that they flew
1496
01:06:13.570 --> 01:06:15.389
to the football, I thought the.
1497
01:06:15.369 --> 01:06:18.530
Opportunities that they did. Sometimes, you know, you mentioned.
1498
01:06:18.250 --> 01:06:20.250
That Penn State didn't look like they had any rhythm.
1499
01:06:20.269 --> 01:06:21.909
Well, a little bit after that.
1500
01:06:22.150 --> 01:06:24.170
Has to go with because I don't think Wisconsin let
1501
01:06:24.190 --> 01:06:26.199
them get rhythm. And I think that's a big part
1502
01:06:26.219 --> 01:06:29.280
of that. I would also say I thought for the first,
1503
01:06:29.380 --> 01:06:30.000
in the first.
1504
01:06:29.840 --> 01:06:31.500
Game, I'll go back to that Notre Dame game.
1505
01:06:33.010 --> 01:06:34.769
I thought they flew the ball in the first half.
1506
01:06:34.849 --> 01:06:36.769
It was a turnover that went against them. And then
1507
01:06:36.829 --> 01:06:39.150
obviously there's some other things that, you know, but the
1508
01:06:39.190 --> 01:06:44.530
second half wasn't, this was Wisconsin defensively putting together two
1509
01:06:44.610 --> 01:06:48.139
really good games. And there's also a bounce back of
1510
01:06:48.179 --> 01:06:49.860
Colton jokes too. And I think that's a big.
1511
01:06:49.739 --> 01:06:50.539
Part of it too.
1512
01:06:50.579 --> 01:06:53.079
Knowing that, you know, they had his back.
1513
01:06:53.139 --> 01:06:53.980
We heard about that.
1514
01:06:54.059 --> 01:06:56.860
He was vulnerable and said, Hey, thanks for having my back.
1515
01:06:57.719 --> 01:07:00.380
That's some special stuff. Now, like I said, and I'll
1516
01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:03.099
say it again, it's about how you respond to success.
1517
01:07:03.159 --> 01:07:04.460
The team hasn't had to do that yet.
1518
01:07:05.719 --> 01:07:07.599
What do you make of the run game so far, Brian?
1519
01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:11.409
Besides Colton Joseph as a quarterback, I don't really see
1520
01:07:11.469 --> 01:07:14.289
anybody pulling away as a game changer out of the backfield.
1521
01:07:14.329 --> 01:07:15.489
What do you make of the run game through the
1522
01:07:15.530 --> 01:07:17.289
first four and moving forward?
1523
01:07:19.150 --> 01:07:21.889
I think when you look at Abusama and Dupree and
1524
01:07:21.929 --> 01:07:24.530
those guys and what they're able to do, I feel
1525
01:07:24.550 --> 01:07:27.429
like it's a matter of time. I know there's a
1526
01:07:27.469 --> 01:07:31.050
lot there. I thought Dupree was pretty good when you
1527
01:07:31.070 --> 01:07:33.409
look at what he was able to do in that
1528
01:07:33.489 --> 01:07:39.610
game against Penn State, just as far as some little
1529
01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:41.400
things that they were trying to get done. I thought
1530
01:07:41.420 --> 01:07:45.039
he brought some energy there. I totally get what you're
1531
01:07:45.079 --> 01:07:48.679
saying as far as what they were able to do
1532
01:07:48.699 --> 01:07:54.320
and just the consistency of that, but I thought that
1533
01:07:54.659 --> 01:07:58.800
Dupree brought some really good energy there. He had eight attempts,
1534
01:07:58.800 --> 01:08:02.710
52 yards, the receptions that he had, just enough there
1535
01:08:02.750 --> 01:08:03.570
to really.
1536
01:08:04.329 --> 01:08:06.429
Give them a jolt. They're going to need more, though.
1537
01:08:06.449 --> 01:08:06.889
You're right.
1538
01:08:08.289 --> 01:08:11.960
Luke Sickle has been under a ton of criticism from
1539
01:08:12.719 --> 01:08:16.100
many of us in the media and fans in Wisconsin,
1540
01:08:16.119 --> 01:08:18.529
but he gets his first signature win today. as the
1541
01:08:18.569 --> 01:08:22.340
Badgers head coach. What does this victory mean for Fickle?
1542
01:08:22.779 --> 01:08:28.180
And is his approval rating with fans and media, is
1543
01:08:28.199 --> 01:08:29.199
that rising right now?
1544
01:08:32.399 --> 01:08:33.960
I think it's probably a wait and see.
1545
01:08:34.739 --> 01:08:38.340
Is it rising? Sure, yeah, for sure. But again, I
1546
01:08:38.359 --> 01:08:40.239
think there's a lot of people probably in the same
1547
01:08:40.279 --> 01:08:41.800
boat that I am as far as the team. Now,
1548
01:08:41.819 --> 01:08:44.460
can you stack it? Can you find a way to
1549
01:08:44.479 --> 01:08:49.560
get this thing done defensively? they were really, really good offensively.
1550
01:08:49.619 --> 01:08:53.409
Not so much. Again, it took that 72 yard play
1551
01:08:53.430 --> 01:08:55.609
the Harris to be able to get, to get them down,
1552
01:08:55.909 --> 01:08:58.590
which point might've been one of the slowest touchdowns I've
1553
01:08:58.630 --> 01:09:00.989
ever seen in my life. Am I wrong in thinking
1554
01:09:01.020 --> 01:09:03.279
that that Harris touchdown was one of the slowest ones
1555
01:09:03.300 --> 01:09:06.340
that I've ever seen. I, he kept running and running
1556
01:09:06.359 --> 01:09:08.319
and running like this. I don't know where it's going,
1557
01:09:08.380 --> 01:09:11.010
but Now get back to the conversation.
1558
01:09:11.909 --> 01:09:12.310
Yeah.
1559
01:09:12.510 --> 01:09:14.210
I do still think there's a lot of pressure on
1560
01:09:14.229 --> 01:09:17.189
sick because if he doesn't win the games, he's supposed
1561
01:09:17.229 --> 01:09:20.539
to win. That's also going to be a big red flag.
1562
01:09:20.600 --> 01:09:23.720
That was, that was going into the season. What needed
1563
01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:26.060
to happen when the games are supposed to win and
1564
01:09:26.090 --> 01:09:29.649
then go and get that marquee win. Well, they checked
1565
01:09:29.689 --> 01:09:32.770
the first one off. there's a lot of games out
1566
01:09:32.789 --> 01:09:33.949
there that are still like.
1567
01:09:34.229 --> 01:09:35.029
Should win games.
1568
01:09:35.170 --> 01:09:37.510
And if you don't do that, you're going to have
1569
01:09:37.550 --> 01:09:38.170
the same.
1570
01:09:37.989 --> 01:09:39.069
Questions that are out there.
1571
01:09:39.189 --> 01:09:44.640
I mean, there's Rutgers. You look at this Michigan state game, Maryland,
1572
01:09:44.680 --> 01:09:48.600
who just fired their coach, Purdue, Minnesota.
1573
01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:50.640
Now Minnesota did have that good win on the road.
1574
01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:53.520
Against Washington, but like those are all games you have
1575
01:09:53.539 --> 01:09:55.600
to win and they still have.
1576
01:09:55.500 --> 01:09:57.260
To be played. So I think Leo, that kind of
1577
01:09:57.319 --> 01:09:57.699
answered the.
1578
01:09:57.680 --> 01:10:00.050
Question a little bit as far as like good first one,
1579
01:10:01.279 --> 01:10:02.159
What now follows?
1580
01:10:02.720 --> 01:10:04.939
Yeah, you mentioned it right there, Brian, with Michigan State
1581
01:10:04.979 --> 01:10:07.579
this coming Saturday as a game that Wisconsin should pick
1582
01:10:07.659 --> 01:10:10.039
up in the win column on paper. What's the key
1583
01:10:10.079 --> 01:10:12.529
to the game for the Badgers against this Spartan team?
1584
01:10:12.569 --> 01:10:13.489
What should we be watching out for?
1585
01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:17.439
I think the biggest thing here is a couple of things.
1586
01:10:17.479 --> 01:10:19.100
I think get the run game going even more than
1587
01:10:19.119 --> 01:10:22.130
what you did. Obviously, Michigan State's star running back is out,
1588
01:10:22.149 --> 01:10:26.069
so that's going to help Wisconsin defensively. Make sure they're aggressive.
1589
01:10:26.090 --> 01:10:28.270
Make sure they're flying to the ball. I know those
1590
01:10:28.329 --> 01:10:30.449
are terms and lingos, but I think it's very true
1591
01:10:30.510 --> 01:10:32.810
for this defense. When they do that, they're very elite.
1592
01:10:33.770 --> 01:10:35.899
Turn over the football as well. I think that'll be very,
1593
01:10:36.020 --> 01:10:39.479
very crucial. Most importantly, I talked about three things there.
1594
01:10:39.500 --> 01:10:41.899
The fourth thing that I'll say most importantly, stop turning
1595
01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:44.760
the ball over yourself. Make sure you take care of
1596
01:10:44.779 --> 01:10:47.260
the football. I think turnover battle in a, in a
1597
01:10:47.300 --> 01:10:49.479
game like this, the turnover battle is going to be really,
1598
01:10:49.539 --> 01:10:51.899
really huge and what they're trying to do. I think
1599
01:10:51.939 --> 01:10:53.539
those are the four main things that I look at.
1600
01:10:54.359 --> 01:10:57.159
Brian, I have one question for you regarding the Wisconsin
1601
01:10:57.199 --> 01:11:00.109
basketball team. And we just don't, when we, when we
1602
01:11:00.149 --> 01:11:02.510
do Bucky banter, it's not just football on this show.
1603
01:11:02.529 --> 01:11:04.449
We'll talk a little basketball with you too, from time
1604
01:11:04.489 --> 01:11:09.489
to time. There's a, there's a young recruit, Jalen Brown,
1605
01:11:10.109 --> 01:11:14.050
Wauwatosa West guard, Prize recruit for the Badgers coming up
1606
01:11:14.409 --> 01:11:20.319
in the 2027-28 season. He is leaving the state to
1607
01:11:20.439 --> 01:11:22.119
play his final year of high school ball at a
1608
01:11:22.159 --> 01:11:26.520
prep school. Any worries in the Wisconsin program that other
1609
01:11:26.800 --> 01:11:30.979
schools will be getting a first-eye look at him and
1610
01:11:31.010 --> 01:11:33.409
they'll be sniffing around a little bit? Or do you
1611
01:11:33.449 --> 01:11:35.510
think he is definitely 110% coming to Wisconsin?
1612
01:11:38.579 --> 01:11:42.039
I think he's 110% coming to Wisconsin, whether he would
1613
01:11:42.060 --> 01:11:44.699
have stayed at Wisconsin or gone to Prescott. Obviously you
1614
01:11:44.739 --> 01:11:48.579
like kids to stay within Wisconsin, whether he was going
1615
01:11:48.600 --> 01:11:49.060
to stay.
1616
01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:51.199
Or not, there's always going to be sharks in the water.
1617
01:11:51.560 --> 01:11:53.000
That's the reality of this.
1618
01:11:54.000 --> 01:11:55.750
It was the reality like that when I played it,
1619
01:11:55.800 --> 01:11:59.699
it's only worse. So that is what it is. NIL
1620
01:11:59.729 --> 01:12:03.119
has changed a lot of these things. Ultimately you just,
1621
01:12:03.279 --> 01:12:05.399
you have to worry about what you can control. I, I,
1622
01:12:07.359 --> 01:12:09.949
I feel comfortable with him still going to Wisconsin. I
1623
01:12:09.949 --> 01:12:12.590
don't think there's a lot of change in there. I think, um,
1624
01:12:12.930 --> 01:12:16.069
but again, any, anything is, is possible as far as
1625
01:12:16.109 --> 01:12:18.069
where we're at with this world of NIL. And I know,
1626
01:12:18.489 --> 01:12:20.949
you know, you look at it, the Senate just passed it. Um,
1627
01:12:21.329 --> 01:12:22.890
you know, I think that's a big step in the
1628
01:12:22.930 --> 01:12:23.890
right direction, the.
1629
01:12:23.810 --> 01:12:24.590
Bill that was there.
1630
01:12:24.609 --> 01:12:28.550
Um, and I think, uh, ultimately now it's got to
1631
01:12:28.569 --> 01:12:30.189
get to the house and yes, it sucks that we
1632
01:12:30.210 --> 01:12:34.909
have to get government. Um, but ultimately that that's where
1633
01:12:34.930 --> 01:12:39.560
we're at. Um, I just, if not, this thing's out
1634
01:12:39.600 --> 01:12:42.960
of control. And I just ultimately, like, that needs to
1635
01:12:42.979 --> 01:12:43.619
be the first step.
1636
01:12:43.659 --> 01:12:44.039
And it is.
1637
01:12:44.119 --> 01:12:46.119
So hopefully that becomes where we need to go with it, guys.
1638
01:12:46.819 --> 01:12:48.970
Final question for you, Butch. Let's talk about what's coming
1639
01:12:48.979 --> 01:12:50.550
up on Butchie's Den. It looks like you have some
1640
01:12:50.569 --> 01:12:52.770
great guests queued up based on your social media feed.
1641
01:12:52.789 --> 01:12:53.199
What's coming up?
1642
01:12:54.899 --> 01:12:56.039
Yeah, we got a lot of good ones.
1643
01:12:56.060 --> 01:12:58.750
We talked with Brevin Pritzel. We've got Isaac Riddle from
1644
01:12:58.770 --> 01:13:02.210
Wisconsin basketball. We got victory from Wisconsin basketball that will
1645
01:13:02.250 --> 01:13:05.689
be joining us as well. We've got John Ellison who
1646
01:13:05.750 --> 01:13:08.750
played at Wisconsin. He jumped on as well. We've got
1647
01:13:08.789 --> 01:13:10.920
Dave Maynard. We're going to be dropping. So there's a
1648
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:13.359
lot of fun things being a part of this stuff.
1649
01:13:13.640 --> 01:13:15.640
And it's only going to continue to grow. So follow,
1650

01:13:20.180 --> 01:13:23.310
And yeah, And I appreciate everybody listening. You know, the
1653
01:13:23.319 --> 01:13:24.729
best part is I say this every time, but the
1654
01:13:24.739 --> 01:13:26.270
best part is it's been me catching up with a
1655
01:13:26.270 --> 01:13:28.930
lot of former Badgers, which has been really, really cool.
1656
01:13:29.649 --> 01:13:32.810
Yeah, like he said, follow Butchie's Den on YouTube or

1658
01:13:37.390 --> 01:13:39.909
appreciate your time, as always, on these Tuesdays for some
1659
01:13:39.930 --> 01:13:41.350
Bucky Banter. Let's do this again in a week.
1660
01:13:43.050 --> 01:13:43.630
Love it, guys.
1661
01:13:43.670 --> 01:13:44.289
Thanks so much.
1662
01:13:44.529 --> 01:13:44.890
Thanks, Brian.
1663
01:13:45.600 --> 01:13:48.119
That is Brian Butch of Butchie's Den. Much appreciated to
1664
01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:49.880
him for hopping aboard and taking the time out of
1665
01:13:49.939 --> 01:13:52.630
his Tuesdays to hop on our airwaves. Guests on the
1666
01:13:52.649 --> 01:13:56.789
score brought to you by Fleet Farm. Visit FleetFarm.com. And, yeah,
1667
01:13:57.130 --> 01:13:59.670
the state of the NIL, man. You know, Doug Gottlieb
1668
01:13:59.689 --> 01:14:01.390
talks about it all the time out of Green Bay
1669
01:14:02.449 --> 01:14:07.159
as well. So it impacts Wisconsin sports also. And, you know,
1670
01:14:07.180 --> 01:14:09.810
you made the point with Jalen Brown earlier. And you've
1671
01:14:09.850 --> 01:14:12.100
talked about it, too, with Kingston Allen, high school talent.
1672
01:14:12.140 --> 01:14:13.600
Yeah, I'm worried about him as well.
1673
01:14:13.680 --> 01:14:13.899
Yep.
1674
01:14:14.100 --> 01:14:19.539
I mean, he's got to be– the stats he is
1675
01:14:19.579 --> 01:14:21.659
putting up are just mind-boggling.
1676
01:14:21.960 --> 01:14:25.119
What does the commitment mean anymore is the question. I mean,
1677
01:14:25.479 --> 01:14:26.420
it's one thing to be committed.
1678
01:14:26.460 --> 01:14:32.779
Again, I'm okay with NIL, but it's a contract, and
1679
01:14:33.899 --> 01:14:36.439
somehow they have to make it where they're protecting the
1680
01:14:36.479 --> 01:14:38.159
schools and the teams.
1681
01:14:38.739 --> 01:14:38.859
Yep.
1682
01:14:40.210 --> 01:14:43.689
You commit, it's two years. It's a two-year deal. If
1683
01:14:43.710 --> 01:14:45.050
you want to sit out, you're not getting paid.
1684
01:14:45.510 --> 01:14:46.189
Yeah, that's true.
1685
01:14:46.470 --> 01:14:50.270
Yeah, I mean, I don't know anything about it. What
1686
01:14:50.289 --> 01:14:52.029
the hell do I know about NIL? I don't know
1687
01:14:52.069 --> 01:14:54.350
a thing about it. But I just know how it's
1688
01:14:54.609 --> 01:14:57.729
affecting sports, and it's not in a positive mode. And
1689
01:14:57.750 --> 01:15:00.810
we'll talk about that in Stiff of the Day coming
1690
01:15:00.850 --> 01:15:01.109
up next.
1691
01:15:01.390 --> 01:15:03.930
Oh, I like that. That's a great segue into a break.
1692
01:15:04.640 --> 01:15:06.029
That's a great question, Tony.
1693
01:15:06.060 --> 01:15:07.560
That's a great question. I haven't yet to hear a
1694
01:15:07.640 --> 01:15:11.239
non-great question from you. Stiff of the day and wrap
1695
01:15:11.279 --> 01:15:13.989
it up when we come back. Don't go anywhere. Cap
1696
01:15:14.029 --> 01:15:16.090
off this Tuesday show with us after the break. You're
1697
01:15:16.109 --> 01:15:17.569
listening to the show with Tony G and Leo right
1698
01:15:17.590 --> 01:15:18.029
here on The Score.
1699
01:15:31.180 --> 01:15:33.779
Gusman Chevrolet Buick GMC is your source for new and
1700
01:15:33.800 --> 01:15:34.930
pre-owned vehicles.

It provides high-quality automobiles of all makes. And I'll tell
1702
01:15:38.590 --> 01:15:40.529
you what, Tony, I'll tell you this right now. Loyal
1703
01:15:40.569 --> 01:15:44.409

1705
01:15:48.369 --> 01:15:48.909

1706
01:15:49.069 --> 01:15:52.680
Gussman of Kaukauna just off Interstate 41 at the Highway
1707
01:15:52.680 --> 01:15:54.380
55 exit. Back to you, Tony.
1708
01:15:54.949 --> 01:15:55.520
Who farted?
1709
01:15:55.689 --> 01:15:58.720
Who farted on the outside? It's close. Who farted in
1710
01:15:58.739 --> 01:16:02.020
the winner's circle? I'm in the middle of a moron sandwich.
1711
01:16:03.159 --> 01:16:03.659
That's us.
1712
01:16:04.560 --> 01:16:05.460
How are your ears over there?
1713
01:16:06.060 --> 01:16:08.180
Not great, Bob. Now I got bad ears and a
1714
01:16:08.199 --> 01:16:12.779
bad back. What? Ask me how my ears are. How
1715
01:16:12.819 --> 01:16:16.590
are your ears? What? How are your ears? Even you're
1716
01:16:16.609 --> 01:16:18.609
coming in. Maybe I can just turn down my volume
1717
01:16:18.670 --> 01:16:18.909
over here.
1718
01:16:18.930 --> 01:16:20.529
There you go. Or I could just do this and
1719
01:16:20.550 --> 01:16:21.470
then just turn it all the way down.
1720
01:16:21.489 --> 01:16:21.909
Oh, thank you.
1721
01:16:22.010 --> 01:16:22.270
Yes.
1722
01:16:22.590 --> 01:16:23.970
I just went deep for a minute.
1723
01:16:25.590 --> 01:16:29.739
All that Leo. He's stiff of the day. No, not actually.
1724
01:16:30.300 --> 01:16:31.199
No, we have a better one.
1725
01:16:31.619 --> 01:16:33.579
We do have a better one. Remember, we had lots
1726
01:16:33.619 --> 01:16:34.699
of stiff of the day videos.
1727
01:16:36.510 --> 01:16:38.529
Yeah, we have a whole week's worth on Monday, so
1728
01:16:38.550 --> 01:16:40.699
we're just going to keep spreading them out unless something
1729
01:16:40.739 --> 01:16:41.350
else pops up.
1730
01:16:41.399 --> 01:16:42.979
So I won it yesterday for the first time in
1731
01:16:43.020 --> 01:16:43.680
the show's history.
1732
01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:47.340
Yeah, I mean, well-deserved. Seriously. You had an easy victory.
1733
01:16:47.960 --> 01:16:50.960
Your first victory as an expansion team here in the
1734
01:16:51.279 --> 01:16:56.010
Woodward Stadium Fantasy Football League. And you blew it by...
1735
01:16:56.819 --> 01:17:00.430
Not playing a quarterback or a defense. And you picked
1736
01:17:00.470 --> 01:17:02.310
up a defense and you didn't put them into your lineup.
1737
01:17:02.390 --> 01:17:03.989
Double whammy. You deserve to lose.
1738
01:17:04.229 --> 01:17:08.000
I still have not forgiven myself, to be honest with you.
1739
01:17:08.010 --> 01:17:09.670
Well, we'll play again later in the year.
1740
01:17:09.869 --> 01:17:14.840
A lot of season left. Listen, mistakes happen. We're learning. And,
1741
01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:17.000
you know, we'll learn from this and learn a lot
1742
01:17:17.020 --> 01:17:17.520
to make us better.
1743
01:17:17.689 --> 01:17:20.409
Is Coach Giordano on the hot seat right now? No,
1744
01:17:20.430 --> 01:17:22.050
we have a lot of confidence in him. He just
1745
01:17:22.069 --> 01:17:24.729
got a wealthy contract extension in the offseason, and we
1746
01:17:24.750 --> 01:17:26.050
look forward to having him be at the helm of
1747
01:17:26.069 --> 01:17:28.449
the program. What about GM Tony the Stiff, Giordano?
1748
01:17:28.989 --> 01:17:32.789
No, again, we're confident with the people we have in
1749
01:17:32.810 --> 01:17:35.600
place here. How are you going to get these mistakes fixed?
1750
01:17:36.149 --> 01:17:38.619
You know, just in practice every week and making sure
1751
01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:40.560
that we learn off of past mistakes. You know, we
1752
01:17:40.579 --> 01:17:43.149
have a couple days here to– Work some things out
1753
01:17:43.180 --> 01:17:45.600
until our matchup begins next Thursday, and look forward to
1754
01:17:45.619 --> 01:17:46.000
that matchup.
1755
01:17:46.020 --> 01:17:48.000
Will there ever be another game where a quarterback doesn't
1756
01:17:48.060 --> 01:17:48.699
play for you?
1757
01:17:48.979 --> 01:17:50.500
No, these are mistakes we're going to iron out now
1758
01:17:50.579 --> 01:17:52.000
and never allow to happen again.
1759
01:17:53.039 --> 01:17:55.239
I've got to tell you, I've never seen anyone not
1760
01:17:55.279 --> 01:17:56.279
play a quarterback before.
1761
01:17:56.420 --> 01:17:58.619
I'm glad to be the first.
1762
01:17:58.859 --> 01:18:02.489
This is coming up on the Appleton Engraving Fantasy Football Show.
1763
01:18:02.529 --> 01:18:03.630
You're going to get it a little bit.
1764
01:18:03.810 --> 01:18:05.069
Is it Appleton Engraving?
1765
01:18:05.649 --> 01:18:06.489
Appleton Engraving.
1766
01:18:06.609 --> 01:18:06.829
Okay.
1767
01:18:07.029 --> 01:18:07.250
Yeah.
1768
01:18:07.689 --> 01:18:07.949
Nice.
1769
01:18:08.270 --> 01:18:09.010
One of our favorites.
1770
01:18:09.250 --> 01:18:10.289
Yes, absolutely.
1771
01:18:10.310 --> 01:18:12.949
Jay Parrish. And the great people over there.
1772
01:18:13.010 --> 01:18:14.729
That's why I was stiff of the day yesterday. But
1773
01:18:14.770 --> 01:18:16.050
we have a new stiff of the day today, so
1774
01:18:16.069 --> 01:18:16.649
let's dive in.
1775
01:18:17.770 --> 01:18:21.729
There a thorn in your side. A pebble in your shoe.
1776
01:18:21.869 --> 01:18:25.819
You've had this pair of extra gloves this whole time?
1777
01:18:26.199 --> 01:18:27.060
Yeah.
1778
01:18:27.079 --> 01:18:27.979
We're in the Rockies.
1779
01:18:28.399 --> 01:18:29.880
A grinder of your gears.
1780
01:18:30.380 --> 01:18:32.840
You know what really grinds my gears? People in the
1781
01:18:32.880 --> 01:18:36.560
19th century. Why don't they get with the freaking program?
1782
01:18:37.100 --> 01:18:39.899
Who's driving Tony G and Leo crazy today?
1783
01:18:40.670 --> 01:18:42.859
You're gonna do it.
1784
01:18:44.739 --> 01:18:49.869
No strap in score squad it's time for stiff of
1785
01:18:49.890 --> 01:18:50.319
the Day.
1786
01:18:50.340 --> 01:18:52.180
All right, Leo, this is a leftover from yesterday, but
1787
01:18:52.199 --> 01:18:52.409
a good one.
1788
01:18:52.420 --> 01:18:56.079
Yeah, we talked about USC linebacker Desmond Stevens, who has
1789
01:18:56.119 --> 01:18:58.319
been suspended. I think this is kind of light for
1790
01:18:58.520 --> 01:19:02.920
one game after a targeting hit on Oregon quarterback Dante Moore.
1791
01:19:03.659 --> 01:19:07.460
And that is celebration after not only on the field,
1792
01:19:07.520 --> 01:19:11.479
but on the bench. You even mentioned it. He got
1793
01:19:11.640 --> 01:19:14.770
ejected and he was on the sidelines yucking it up
1794
01:19:14.810 --> 01:19:20.390
with his buddies after his helmet to head shoulder contact
1795
01:19:20.489 --> 01:19:24.550
causing Moore's head to snap and hit the turf. Moore
1796
01:19:24.590 --> 01:19:28.220
was stretchered and sent to the Los Angeles General County
1797
01:19:28.319 --> 01:19:32.460
Hospital and evaluated. He did have movement in all extremities,
1798
01:19:32.560 --> 01:19:36.859
but my God, that's a sick son of a gun.
1799
01:19:36.920 --> 01:19:37.260
I think.
1800
01:19:39.079 --> 01:19:40.300
Lincoln, what's his head?
1801
01:19:40.659 --> 01:19:41.020
Riley.
1802
01:19:41.300 --> 01:19:44.939
Lincoln Riley should have suspended for like three games. Stevens
1803
01:19:45.020 --> 01:19:50.199
did issue a public apology calling his reaction inappropriate and inexcusable,
1804
01:19:50.229 --> 01:19:54.460
and he's taking full responsibility. Yeah, I don't get it.
1805
01:19:54.970 --> 01:19:58.270
I think it's kind of light. That was a dirty hit.
1806
01:19:59.149 --> 01:20:02.090
So I want to tee up the next thing here
1807
01:20:02.109 --> 01:20:05.300
that I have for a piece of audio of the
1808
01:20:05.619 --> 01:20:06.560
call afterwards.
1809
01:20:06.979 --> 01:20:07.300
So it was.
1810
01:20:07.960 --> 01:20:10.199
Between you and I and Score Squad, we can all agree,
1811
01:20:10.479 --> 01:20:12.060
it was a clear illegal cheap shot.
1812
01:20:12.199 --> 01:20:12.340
Yeah.
1813
01:20:12.500 --> 01:20:13.340
It was a bad hit, right?
1814
01:20:13.960 --> 01:20:19.819
So, here is USC's radio broadcast's reaction to, I'm going
1815
01:20:19.840 --> 01:20:22.239
to actually pull this up here so you can watch too, Leo.
1816
01:20:22.390 --> 01:20:22.590
Okay.
1817
01:20:22.600 --> 01:20:25.609
Because one of the guys, so there's two guys in
1818
01:20:25.630 --> 01:20:27.649
the press box, right? The play-by-play guy and the color guy.
1819
01:20:28.090 --> 01:20:31.250
The color guy, visibly, he doesn't say anything on radio,
1820
01:20:31.270 --> 01:20:33.510
so you can't see. But visibly, based on the video,
1821
01:20:33.869 --> 01:20:36.949
disagrees with his play-by-play man. So listen to the audio
1822
01:20:36.970 --> 01:20:37.520
and watch the two.
1823
01:20:37.529 --> 01:20:38.550
This will be you and I doing a game.
1824
01:20:38.630 --> 01:20:41.289
Yeah, pretty much. Watch the reaction to the hit on
1825
01:20:41.310 --> 01:20:41.890
Dante Moore.
1826
01:20:42.149 --> 01:20:45.289
He did not try to slide feet first, and Stevens
1827
01:20:45.350 --> 01:20:48.329
went in helmet first, but he kind of ran into
1828
01:20:49.229 --> 01:20:51.609
Dante Moore, who ducked into that hit.
1829
01:20:51.710 --> 01:20:53.210
I did not see him.
1830
01:20:53.109 --> 01:20:54.229
Put his feet out first.
1831
01:20:54.340 --> 01:20:56.109
I saw him dive forward.
1832
01:20:56.659 --> 01:20:57.939
He's laying feet first.
1833
01:20:58.220 --> 01:21:00.539
He is now because they spun him around. I want
1834
01:21:00.600 --> 01:21:03.439
to see the replay. Here he goes down into it. Yeah,
1835
01:21:03.460 --> 01:21:06.229
not a feet first slide, more of a... Knee slide.
1836
01:21:07.640 --> 01:21:10.760
It didn't look like targeting on the replay to us.
1837
01:21:10.779 --> 01:21:13.000
The guy in the background, too, is like, no, no,
1838
01:21:13.020 --> 01:21:15.520
you're way off. Who is this old stiff?
1839
01:21:15.720 --> 01:21:16.159
I don't know.
1840
01:21:16.220 --> 01:21:17.460
I'll send him packing, too.
1841
01:21:18.220 --> 01:21:19.760
So he's trying to play it off like it wasn't
1842
01:21:19.779 --> 01:21:20.359
that bad of a hit.
1843
01:21:20.439 --> 01:21:22.060
Nice shirt, by the way. They sell men's shirts.
1844
01:21:24.399 --> 01:21:27.319
Radio broadcaster for football.
1845
01:21:27.359 --> 01:21:28.640
For USC football.
1846
01:21:28.739 --> 01:21:32.659
USC football's radio broadcaster is Pete Arbogast.
1847
01:21:33.159 --> 01:21:34.010
Pete Arbogast?
1848
01:21:34.090 --> 01:21:34.199
Yep.
1849
01:21:34.510 --> 01:21:36.829
Well, he could be your stiff of the day tomorrow. Yeah.
1850
01:21:37.310 --> 01:21:37.909
What an idiot.
1851
01:21:38.229 --> 01:21:38.890
Yeah. Yep.
1852
01:21:39.529 --> 01:21:40.069
I can't believe.
1853
01:21:40.229 --> 01:21:41.350
So he's trying to play it off. How about having
1854
01:21:41.369 --> 01:21:44.109
some concern for the injured player and keep your comments
1855
01:21:44.140 --> 01:21:44.649
to yourself?
1856
01:21:44.770 --> 01:21:46.699
He's trying to play it off for the radio audience
1857
01:21:46.720 --> 01:21:49.439
who couldn't see as though Dante Moore was at fault
1858
01:21:49.479 --> 01:21:49.840
for the hit.
1859
01:21:50.060 --> 01:21:50.239
Yeah.
1860
01:21:50.460 --> 01:21:53.119
Well. He was lying feet first because they spun him around.
1861
01:21:53.899 --> 01:21:57.560
And his color guy immediately was like, I don't think so. Like, no,
1862
01:21:57.659 --> 01:21:58.229
that didn't happen.
1863
01:21:58.739 --> 01:21:59.210
He got hit.
1864
01:21:59.270 --> 01:22:01.489
He got blasted. It was an illegal hit. It's okay
1865
01:22:01.510 --> 01:22:02.329
to just come out and say it.
1866
01:22:02.420 --> 01:22:06.699
Yeah, well, that's all over X right now.
1867
01:22:07.560 --> 01:22:11.550
Sean Cody, I believe, is the one who– Sean Cody
1868
01:22:11.590 --> 01:22:14.090
is this color guy who was visibly disagreeing with him.
1869
01:22:14.710 --> 01:22:16.750
Obviously a former USC player, I'm thinking.
1870
01:22:17.189 --> 01:22:17.770
I would imagine.
1871
01:22:17.890 --> 01:22:19.090
Yeah, that's usually the case.
1872
01:22:19.270 --> 01:22:22.189
Yeah, I would imagine. Trapper Bob and Nina, what does
1873
01:22:22.229 --> 01:22:24.159
Tony know about setting a fantasy football lineup?
1874
01:22:24.479 --> 01:22:25.020
Not much.
1875
01:22:25.140 --> 01:22:26.039
I guess not much now.
1876
01:22:26.199 --> 01:22:26.699
Poor you.
1877
01:22:27.000 --> 01:22:28.619
Yeah, I'm going to learn from this mistake. Like I said,
1878
01:22:28.640 --> 01:22:30.020
we're going to be better, and we're going to move on.
1879
01:22:30.300 --> 01:22:31.460
And the thing is, you lost to me.
1880
01:22:32.199 --> 01:22:32.399
I know.
1881
01:22:32.479 --> 01:22:34.380
I had a really down week. I mean, you had me.
1882
01:22:34.640 --> 01:22:37.159
You had me right where you wanted me, and he's
1883
01:22:37.199 --> 01:22:38.140
hitting his head on the microphone.
1884
01:22:38.220 --> 01:22:40.680
I will never forgive myself until I come back and
1885
01:22:40.699 --> 01:22:42.829
win every other game this year, and my name's on
1886
01:22:42.850 --> 01:22:43.449
this trophy.
1887
01:22:43.510 --> 01:22:49.289
Double-digit wins. Is that a double or nothing on the rancholadas?
1888
01:22:49.310 --> 01:22:50.170
Yeah, I don't know about that.
1889
01:22:50.189 --> 01:22:50.550
Scubas?
1890
01:22:50.970 --> 01:22:52.949
My fantasy team has not produced that well this year.
1891
01:22:53.430 --> 01:22:56.449
I don't understand why. They're good players all over the place. But,
1892
01:22:56.609 --> 01:22:59.020
you know, just got to figure something out here. What's
1893
01:22:59.039 --> 01:23:00.819
the rest of the league? How's Alex doing in the league?
1894
01:23:01.380 --> 01:23:02.439
Is he performing well?
1895
01:23:02.819 --> 01:23:06.880
Well, I can bring up the season standings.
1896
01:23:06.899 --> 01:23:09.020
Because if I'm behind some of these people who aren't
1897
01:23:09.100 --> 01:23:12.800
sports people too, and I'm not going to name names
1898
01:23:12.819 --> 01:23:14.979
because I don't want to take away from fantasy football
1899
01:23:15.020 --> 01:23:16.539
knowledge in the league, but if I'm behind some of
1900
01:23:16.560 --> 01:23:18.779
the people who aren't big sports people, I'm going to
1901
01:23:18.800 --> 01:23:21.479
be hurting. I'm going to be hurting. Because I know sports.
1902
01:23:21.539 --> 01:23:22.720
I should be doing good in fantasy.
1903
01:23:23.510 --> 01:23:27.060
It doesn't always equate to that. Just because you know
1904
01:23:27.090 --> 01:23:29.210
a lot about sports doesn't mean you're good at fantasy football.
1905
01:23:29.350 --> 01:23:30.170
I mean, that's obvious.
1906
01:23:30.189 --> 01:23:30.569
It's true.
1907
01:23:31.220 --> 01:23:36.600
Saja Boys, that's Zach. He is 3-0. And then Two
1908
01:23:36.619 --> 01:23:40.369
Guys in a Cup, our very own bullpen guys with
1909
01:23:40.430 --> 01:23:41.789
Katie are 3-0.
1910
01:23:42.069 --> 01:23:43.829
You've got to be kidding me. They're 3-0.
1911
01:23:43.890 --> 01:23:47.689
Yeah. And I'm 0-3. And then Laura from APL is 2-1.
1912
01:23:48.090 --> 01:23:54.789
I'm 2-1. Gary, the returning champ, is 2-1. Aspiration Tree Planters,
1913
01:23:54.850 --> 01:23:56.520
I don't know who that is. Alex is 2-1.
1914
01:23:56.510 --> 01:23:58.899
How many 0-3 teams are there?
1915
01:24:00.279 --> 01:24:04.449
There's Flemmy Glockenspiel and AP Lovecraft.
1916
01:24:04.470 --> 01:24:06.109
I don't know who that is.
1917
01:24:07.470 --> 01:24:08.430
AP Lovecraft.
1918
01:24:08.729 --> 01:24:09.050
Cutter?
1919
01:24:09.409 --> 01:24:15.449
I can look it up. Yeah, that's Cutter from 105.7 WAPL. Oh,
1920
01:24:15.489 --> 01:24:19.880
the Taylor Swifty Chiefs. That's Joe Moreau. They're all in
1921
01:24:19.899 --> 01:24:20.439
three as well.
1922
01:24:20.720 --> 01:24:22.279
Has Zach ever been on this trophy?
1923
01:24:22.319 --> 01:24:22.600
No, huh?
1924
01:24:22.619 --> 01:24:23.119
I don't think so.
1925
01:24:23.539 --> 01:24:25.119
Because he's actually pretty good sports-wise.
1926
01:24:25.649 --> 01:24:28.880
Yeah, he's very good at fantasy football. He seems to
1927
01:24:29.020 --> 01:24:32.859
hit that waiver wire and get additions to his team.
1928
01:24:33.359 --> 01:24:35.119
There's usually not a lot of trades. Maybe you and
1929
01:24:35.159 --> 01:24:37.680
I could– I know you were trying to get someone on. Oh,
1930
01:24:37.699 --> 01:24:40.720
you were trying to get– Kyron. Yeah, that made me laugh.
1931
01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:42.920
Thank you. I need a running back. My running back's
1932
01:24:43.340 --> 01:24:43.939
not great, Bob.
1933
01:24:44.939 --> 01:24:48.399
It's this league. They're pretty well picked over.
1934
01:24:48.560 --> 01:24:50.720
Here's the thing. In most of my leagues, I bought
1935
01:24:50.840 --> 01:24:52.760
in heavily to Jeremiah Love of the Cardinals.
1936
01:24:52.779 --> 01:24:52.979
Mm-hmm.
1937
01:24:53.460 --> 01:24:56.470
Not turning out to be my best buy-in. It's really early.
1938
01:24:56.479 --> 01:24:57.960
He had a pretty good week this week, didn't he?
1939
01:24:58.270 --> 01:25:00.369
Yes. Yes.
1940
01:25:00.649 --> 01:25:02.689
I think he was one of your highest scoring players. Well,
1941
01:25:03.010 --> 01:25:04.569
when you don't play a quarterback, you always look at
1942
01:25:04.590 --> 01:25:05.550
that big zero.
1943
01:25:05.670 --> 01:25:06.210
Oh, thank you.
1944
01:25:06.449 --> 01:25:06.649
Yeah.
1945
01:25:06.810 --> 01:25:07.810
Yeah, I appreciate that.
1946
01:25:07.829 --> 01:25:10.340
Well, you did have a quarterback in. He just didn't play.
1947
01:25:10.449 --> 01:25:10.640
Yep.
1948
01:25:10.859 --> 01:25:11.439
Drew Locke.
1949
01:25:11.579 --> 01:25:11.920
That's right.
1950
01:25:12.939 --> 01:25:16.489
So do you have Sam Darnold? Oh, you have Caleb Williams.
1951
01:25:16.510 --> 01:25:17.130
I have Caleb Williams.
1952
01:25:17.350 --> 01:25:17.829
Oh, boy.
1953
01:25:18.010 --> 01:25:19.710
Yeah. So you don't have an active quarterback. You're going
1954
01:25:19.729 --> 01:25:20.710
to have to go and get a quarterback.
1955
01:25:20.810 --> 01:25:21.529
I'm hurting. Yeah.
1956
01:25:21.770 --> 01:25:24.609
All right. So I have Dak Prescott and Tyler Shuck.
1957
01:25:25.270 --> 01:25:25.970
Maybe we should talk.
1958
01:25:26.649 --> 01:25:27.600
Maybe we Shuck talk.
1959
01:25:27.720 --> 01:25:29.640
Yeah. Talk Shuck.
1960
01:25:30.000 --> 01:25:30.560
Talk Dak.
1961
01:25:30.760 --> 01:25:31.239
Yeah.
1962
01:25:33.100 --> 01:25:33.640
Dak Prescott.
1963
01:25:34.239 --> 01:25:34.500
All right.
1964
01:25:34.640 --> 01:25:35.880
Well, what did you like of today's show?
1965
01:25:37.119 --> 01:25:38.399
That's a great question, Tony.
1966
01:25:38.420 --> 01:25:40.880
Nothing. I like the end where we got to go home.
1967
01:25:41.350 --> 01:25:46.109
Yeah, I don't know. Everything was good today. Brian Butch
1968
01:25:46.670 --> 01:25:47.170
coming on.
1969
01:25:47.470 --> 01:25:48.090
He always delivers.
1970
01:25:48.109 --> 01:25:50.569
Talking some football and basketball. He's a busy guy, and
1971
01:25:50.609 --> 01:25:51.829
we appreciate him coming on.
1972
01:25:52.210 --> 01:25:54.399
Can I tell you? Okay, so I was talking with
1973
01:25:54.439 --> 01:25:55.539
a friend of mine last night.
1974
01:25:55.800 --> 01:25:57.659
Talking with a friend of mine? Is that a song?
1975
01:25:57.859 --> 01:25:59.739
I have no idea. I'll tell you what I like
1976
01:25:59.779 --> 01:26:01.420
of the show in a moment, but this just came
1977
01:26:01.460 --> 01:26:04.159
to my mind. I had a dream. I was talking
1978
01:26:04.180 --> 01:26:06.359
with a friend of mine about going to possibly an
1979
01:26:06.500 --> 01:26:10.630
NLDS game at the Brewers. I think the only game
1980
01:26:10.649 --> 01:26:13.270
I'm available to go to is Game 5. So if
1981
01:26:13.329 --> 01:26:14.829
we were to get Game 5 tickets, we were talking
1982
01:26:14.850 --> 01:26:16.989
about going and this and that. And I went to bed.
1983
01:26:17.770 --> 01:26:19.850
I woke up. Well, I had a dream last night
1984
01:26:20.189 --> 01:26:23.909
that the Brewers were beating the Pirates in a postseason
1985
01:26:23.949 --> 01:26:25.310
series in Game 1.
1986
01:26:25.310 --> 01:26:26.020
The Pirates?
1987
01:26:26.149 --> 01:26:26.399
Yes.
1988
01:26:26.909 --> 01:26:27.560
That's crazy.
1989
01:26:27.739 --> 01:26:29.680
Yeah, I don't know why that happened. But that dream
1990
01:26:29.720 --> 01:26:32.720
came to my mind. But I love baseball. So the
1991
01:26:32.760 --> 01:26:34.239
fact that we got to talk a little crew and
1992
01:26:34.439 --> 01:26:38.720
preview the matchups for the postseason. I love October. I
1993
01:26:38.760 --> 01:26:41.760
love this time of year. Right now, Phillies-Braves tied 1-1
1994
01:26:41.960 --> 01:26:44.859
in the top of the third in the first game
1995
01:26:44.899 --> 01:26:45.439
of the postseason.
1996
01:26:45.689 --> 01:26:47.270
We didn't predict that series.
1997
01:26:47.670 --> 01:26:49.590
No, do you want to? We've got five minutes left
1998
01:26:49.630 --> 01:26:50.170
of the show here.
1999
01:26:50.670 --> 01:26:55.029
I would say Braves are the home team.
2000
01:26:55.369 --> 01:26:56.069
Braves are the home team.
2001
01:26:57.270 --> 01:27:00.350
The Phillies get hot, look out, because they have played
2002
01:27:00.430 --> 01:27:02.489
terrible down the stretch. They barely made it in.
2003
01:27:02.670 --> 01:27:02.869
Yes.
2004
01:27:03.350 --> 01:27:06.529
A lot of times teams like that get hot. Like
2005
01:27:06.630 --> 01:27:08.989
right now. I'm going to say this right now. If
2006
01:27:09.029 --> 01:27:11.180
they win today, they're going to win the series.
2007
01:27:11.189 --> 01:27:11.560
Okay.
2008
01:27:12.100 --> 01:27:13.779
Whoever wins game one is winning the series.
2009
01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:18.020
I'm going to go Braves because I think the Phillies
2010
01:27:18.079 --> 01:27:20.840
had the chance to clinch a playoff spot for like
2011
01:27:20.960 --> 01:27:22.619
five days in a row, and they didn't do it
2012
01:27:22.640 --> 01:27:25.439
until the last opportunity. So they're actually kind of cold
2013
01:27:25.479 --> 01:27:25.850
right now.
2014
01:27:26.050 --> 01:27:26.399
You're right.
2015
01:27:26.439 --> 01:27:28.890
Their offense is very potent. It's a new ball game
2016
01:27:28.909 --> 01:27:30.489
when you get into this level. They have great pitching.
2017
01:27:30.890 --> 01:27:33.630
I just think the Braves have had a really good season.
2018
01:27:34.409 --> 01:27:38.380
Obviously they won that division. I'm going Atlanta in this series.
2019
01:27:38.739 --> 01:27:41.439
So they'll move on and they will play the Dodgers.
2020
01:27:41.479 --> 01:27:45.670
The Dodgers await Philly's Braves. And then obviously Brewers await Cubs-Padres,
2021
01:27:45.710 --> 01:27:48.869
which we talked about. Both looking for the Cubs to win.
2022
01:27:48.909 --> 01:27:51.529
I think we both expect the Padres to win. On
2023
01:27:51.550 --> 01:27:55.390
the American League side, Yankees-Red Sox for a second consecutive year, Leo.
2024
01:27:55.470 --> 01:27:57.409
Do you have any insight on Yankees-Red Sox who you
2025
01:27:57.430 --> 01:27:58.029
think might win?
2026
01:27:58.270 --> 01:28:01.270
Well, considering there's so many former brewers on the Red Sox,
2027
01:28:01.350 --> 01:28:04.350
I'm kind of pulling for them. Isn't the Yankees captain
2028
01:28:04.390 --> 01:28:06.670
not playing in the series? Judge, yes, he is out.
2029
01:28:07.569 --> 01:28:08.729
I'm going to give it to the Red Sox.
2030
01:28:09.689 --> 01:28:11.840
I might go Yankees here. I think they have better pitching.
2031
01:28:12.359 --> 01:28:13.470
Cam Schlittler has had a.
2032
01:28:14.149 --> 01:28:16.819
I beg your pardon? Watch your language in front of
2033
01:28:16.840 --> 01:28:17.560
the lady, punk.
2034
01:28:20.659 --> 01:28:24.039
Cam Schlittler with an L.
2035
01:28:24.180 --> 01:28:24.520
Okay.
2036
01:28:24.560 --> 01:28:25.659
He had a 14-6 season.
2037
01:28:25.779 --> 01:28:27.119
I thought you said something else.
2038
01:28:27.279 --> 01:28:31.109
I'm sure you did. What? A 1-9-5 earned run average.
2039
01:28:32.470 --> 01:28:34.430
Did you hear me? I said Cam Schlittler.
2040
01:28:34.449 --> 01:28:34.890
Who?
2041
01:28:35.149 --> 01:28:35.590
Exactly.
2042
01:28:37.590 --> 01:28:39.289
I'm not even going to say his name because I'll
2043
01:28:39.310 --> 01:28:39.970
screw it up. You probably will.
2044
01:28:40.439 --> 01:28:40.600
Will.
2045
01:28:40.619 --> 01:28:42.000
Then you're going to have to hit the dump button.
2046
01:28:42.439 --> 01:28:43.539
White Sox Astros.
2047
01:28:43.800 --> 01:28:45.680
I'll tell you what. I'll say his name right now.
2048
01:28:45.699 --> 01:28:53.869
All right. What's his name? Cam. Who? I almost said it.
2049
01:28:54.270 --> 01:28:56.890
White Sox-Astros. You have a particular. Astros.
2050
01:28:56.909 --> 01:28:59.350
Oh, I pulled for the White Sox. Ben from Scuba's
2051
01:28:59.409 --> 01:29:00.350
White Sox? Come on.
2052
01:29:00.899 --> 01:29:05.079
The Astros won the division, the AL West. Under 500?
2053
01:29:05.079 --> 01:29:05.850
Under 500.
2054
01:29:05.840 --> 01:29:06.439
My God.
2055
01:29:06.739 --> 01:29:06.920
Yep.
2056
01:29:07.260 --> 01:29:10.319
They don't deserve. They don't deserve to go on. White
2057
01:29:10.340 --> 01:29:11.039
Sox all the way.
2058
01:29:11.340 --> 01:29:11.560
Yeah.
2059
01:29:12.260 --> 01:29:14.539
White Sox are on our TV right now. Look at
2060
01:29:14.560 --> 01:29:17.300
those fans. They're dying for a winning team right now.
2061
01:29:18.159 --> 01:29:20.079
I'll take the White Sox over the Cubs any day
2062
01:29:20.100 --> 01:29:20.380
of the week.
2063
01:29:20.810 --> 01:29:23.789
AL West standings. Let me just confirm that. Yeah, Astros
2064
01:29:23.810 --> 01:29:26.829
won the division at 81-81, and even 500.
2065
01:29:26.829 --> 01:29:27.390
Sickens me.
2066
01:29:28.329 --> 01:29:30.369
They beat the Rangers by a game, 80-82.
2067
01:29:30.430 --> 01:29:34.609
Did the Pirates end up 500? Let's take a look
2068
01:29:34.630 --> 01:29:37.529
at the NL Central final standings. The Brewers ended with
2069
01:29:37.569 --> 01:29:40.449
a 14-game lead in the division. That is ridiculous.
2070
01:29:41.000 --> 01:29:42.189
The Cubs were 89-73.
2071
01:29:42.359 --> 01:29:43.619
Oh, that's a shame.
2072
01:29:43.680 --> 01:29:48.760
The Pirates, 82-80. Hey, look at the Pirates. The Cardinals, 77-85.
2073
01:29:48.899 --> 01:29:51.699
Remember when they were in first place? I do. Everyone's like, ew.
2074
01:29:52.529 --> 01:29:53.869
They have some good hitters, though, man.
2075
01:29:53.890 --> 01:29:55.609
They always start the year hot in the first month
2076
01:29:55.649 --> 01:29:56.210
and then die out.
2077
01:29:56.229 --> 01:29:58.210
They have some power on that Cardinal team.
2078
01:29:58.449 --> 01:30:02.789
The Reds rounded out the division 75-87. Terry Francona on
2079
01:30:02.829 --> 01:30:06.289
his way out. Worst team in baseball this year statistically
2080
01:30:06.369 --> 01:30:12.350
were the Colorado Rockies at 58 and 104. Oh, my gosh.
2081
01:30:12.449 --> 01:30:13.130
Think about that.
2082
01:30:13.170 --> 01:30:15.810
You lose 104 games. Not great, Bob.
2083
01:30:15.850 --> 01:30:17.970
You're kidding. So when you think about that on the
2084
01:30:18.010 --> 01:30:21.640
flip side, I mean, the Brewers winning 103 games. They
2085
01:30:21.659 --> 01:30:25.220
only lost 59. Yeah. I was only ticked off 59 times.
2086
01:30:25.279 --> 01:30:26.039
I was happy 103 times.
2087
01:30:26.060 --> 01:30:30.640
Can you imagine Leo being unhappy 104 times?
2088
01:30:31.600 --> 01:30:34.810
Oh, God. Well, I was earlier in my life. I
2089
01:30:35.069 --> 01:30:37.390
don't think the Brewers ever lost 100, but they were
2090
01:30:37.409 --> 01:30:40.380
pretty darn close. That's a wrap, baby.
2091
01:30:40.520 --> 01:30:41.180
That is a wrap.
2092
01:30:42.039 --> 01:30:42.539
Terrible Tim.
2093
01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:44.430
My Astros were not under 500.
2094
01:30:44.430 --> 01:30:48.130
Keep his Astros out of this. I beg your pardon.
2095
01:30:49.369 --> 01:30:49.810
That's Leo.
2096
01:30:49.869 --> 01:30:51.729
I'm Tony G. This has been the show with Tony
2097
01:30:51.750 --> 01:30:53.970
G and Leo. We'll wrap on that note. Score Squad,
2098
01:30:54.189 --> 01:30:56.430
we'll bring it back tomorrow. Thanks to Brian Butch for
2099
01:30:56.449 --> 01:31:01.300
hopping aboard today's show. Coming up tomorrow, Peter Burkowski, 1265 Today,
2100
01:31:01.359 --> 01:31:03.600
the Don for the Don's Locks and Tom's Drive-In Trivia.
2101
01:31:04.520 --> 01:31:06.659
We'll give you an update on the Cubs-Padres series after
2102
01:31:06.680 --> 01:31:09.090
Game 1 later tonight. So we've got good stuff coming
2103
01:31:09.109 --> 01:31:10.949
for you on Wednesday's show. Score Squad, we'll talk to
2104
01:31:10.970 --> 01:31:12.909

2106
01:31:14.640 --> 01:31:14.880
