is just like the rest of us. Sad, really. 00:05:47 Speaker 1: He's got a television camera on him. 00:05:49 Speaker 2: Yeah, sad, really. 00:05:52 Speaker 4: Question number two. 00:05:55 Speaker 3: It's time now to consider the course. 00:06:03 Speaker 1: Live Golf is officially donezo. They're shutting down and abandoning plans to continue as a professional golf tour. Attorneys for Live Golf said during a U.S. bankruptcy court hearing today that the league is no longer pursuing Live 2.0 after failing to secure sufficient financial backing and player commitments to support its planned restructuring. Live Golf officials will instead move forward with the liquidation process as part of its Chapter 11 proceedings. seeking to maximize value for creditors while winding down operations. Common, what was your favorite live golf moment? 00:06:38 Speaker 2: I'm just so glad it's gone. I never liked it to begin with. And there was a time, obviously, the PGA of America, Pro Tour, they were all concerned. 00:06:48 Speaker 1: Well, it did force changes on the tour. 00:06:50 Speaker 2: Yeah, it did force changes on the tour. They're dangling out the, what was it, PIF? Private Investment Fund? 00:06:57 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:06:58 Speaker 2: They were doling out. I mean, you talk about money. I mean, it was just like monopoly money. They're just doling it out to anybody who wanted it. You know, the rumors were what, Rahm was 300 million. You started wondering if all the really good players would leave and then there would be no PGA Tour left other than, you know, guys like you and me chopping it around. And, but it, you know, and I never, I, you know, I'll be honest. I've never watched live golf, but I know of live golf. I know what they do. I, I, I'm not a big team sport guy in golf. I like the individual aspect of it so that you have these, the crushers and the skeletors and all these, who cares? It's meaningless. And then when you have no cut, you, all the guys are already making huge money. They've already signed deals for big money. They're only three day tournaments. That's why they call it live 54. Um, It's just a drunken debauchery. They're just pounding out music, not only on the driving range, but don't they play music all over the golf course? It's not even real golf. It's not golf. It's like a professional version of Topgolf. Topgolf, right? Topgolf, it's cool. You go there, you sit down on your couch, you order food and drink. You hit shot, you hit knockdown, punch, cut, fade, draws. It's just fun. You're just goofing around out there. And that's all live golf was. What a waste of time. Anybody that watched it, I don't know what you were thinking. I'm glad it's gone. Aren't you? 00:08:29 Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't like it from the get-go. Obviously, the blood money doesn't help either. 00:08:32 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's for sure. 00:08:33 Speaker 1: And the fact that I think we're all golf fans, and they were breaking up the tour we loved, and we weren't able to watch the best players on the best players other than majors for a couple years. 00:08:43 Speaker 2: That's correct. 00:08:46 Speaker 4: Question number three. 00:09:00 Speaker 1: I wanted to use fail or flourish, but I recognize that it's no longer in the system. So we had to go with tout or doubt instead. A former NFL insider for the athletic Diana Rossini has been telling people in the league that she will be returning to work the week of November 9th, according to multiple reports. Pro Football Talk noted that the details were unknown, while Page Six reported that Rossini would host her own digital show interviewing athletes and other stakeholders. Rossini, of course, resigned from The Athletic, owned by The New York Times in April, following an internal investigation into her relationship with New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. Common Rossini back in media. I can't use fail or flourish, so we'll do a wrong button. 00:09:51 Speaker 5: Doubt or doubt? 00:09:56 Speaker 2: I'm sure she's good at what she does, but it doesn't, it's not going to change my, I won't, I don't. Is she doing a podcast? 00:10:03 Speaker 1: We don't know officially, but it's. 00:10:04 Speaker 2: I don't, I'm not a podcast guy. And I'm. 00:10:08 Speaker 1: Except for the Common Man program podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 00:10:11 Speaker 2: Of course, but I'm saying like, I don't, I don't seek out podcasts. I'm sure she does a fine job, but I just don't care what she has to say about anything NFL related. And she's got some coach on or some front office guy on that's going to be babbling. I'd rather listen to a guy talk about his golf game. That's what I'd rather talk about. To me, that's much more interesting than listening to another person. 00:10:38 Speaker 1: Well, she might have success in the regards of... I'm sure she will. Well, I mean, she might in terms of getting clicks, right? Like people are going to be interested in what she's doing because she became, you know, almost like a bigger celebrity. I will say, though, entering back into the media industry, like the idea of her becoming like an actual, the true definition of a journalist, like that credibility is gone. 00:11:02 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. 00:11:03 Speaker 1: And so, like, I don't know how she can like pull off serious interviews. I mean, how many of these NFL, maybe players will, but how many of these coaches and GMs are going to be like, no, I'm not going to interview with Diana Racine. 00:11:14 Speaker 2: Do you think she'll do podcasts in a hot tub with a coach? 00:11:17 Speaker 1: Like, well, that might draw a different type of audience, but. 00:11:20 Speaker 2: That might be the way to go. Just don't run from it anymore. Just, you know, embrace it. 00:11:25 Speaker 1: That would be a good podcast. That's what I would do. She just interviews coaches in a hot tub. 00:11:29 Speaker 2: That's what she should do. And you know what? I might give it a click. And that's it

So Diana Rossini comes back and she does these, her show on Hot Tub.

I shouldn't make fun of her. I've been in enough trouble myself over the years. Um, my middle name could be trouble. Capital T R U B L E. Um, the hell was I going to talk about? I had something else I wanted to get to. What was it? Didn't I say something to you when we were leaving the restaurant? 00:14:30 Speaker 1: Uh, JG Max fro picking up the bones. 00:14:32 Speaker 5: So, yeah. 00:14:33 Speaker 2: So it's like, I was talking to deuce. I, you know, we

were walking out of the restroom and I said, look, I said, um, you keep doing this play by play. He's got to be, you know, I, I, I know this is, I know I'm biased. He's my son, but he's doing a really good job. He's picking up quickly. I mean, he's no national treasure yet unless I get carried away. But I told him, I said, you got a chance for me. Maybe you could do this. I said, you know, how do you know? Yeah. I wonder if there's a place to find jobs like that, you know, like, is there a clearing house foreman? And like he said, and I tend to agree. I mean, there are only X amount of, play-by-play jobs in the country. And generally, if one comes open, everybody knows about it. Someone's jumping around, guys that got experience. Like if Grimmer were to leave, well, guess what? There would be hundreds of people that would be trying to get that golden gopher football, basketball job, right? And I said, much like talk show hosts, when those jobs don't, they don't come open very often. And I said, you know, the Tenabees, the JGs, the Max Bros, and the Brett Blake bars are just waiting for me to die. Just pick my bones clean, right? I don't know about die. And like I said, I don't think like you or JG would cut the brake lines on my car, you know, to hasten my demise. 00:15:44 Speaker 1: That's not a bad idea. 00:15:45 Speaker 2: But think about it. But, you know, eventually, you know, speaking of that guy, now that reminds me of an episode of Rockford Files when somebody cut Jim's brake lines. Somebody I, cause I talked to you, you played the Rockford files. Remember when you do the old programming predicament and then you hit the Rockford files music, right? Someone said, you know, they're, they're doing the reboot. Are you going to watch it? Um, and no, unless Jim Rockford comes back to life, Jane, James Garner. I mean, James Garner was Jim Rockford. He's the reason you watch the show. It's, he made the show what it was. You just slide, you know, coming up and using the same premise and putting some new actor in there. Well, then it's just like any other detective show. There's, there's, and the, and the next guy might be good at it, but it's not, it's not James Garner. So it's, I'm sorry. There's no angel. 00:16:41 Speaker 5: There's, there, there, there's. 00:16:42 Speaker 2: None of that. None of the people that were in that original show are going to be in it. So I'm sorry. I'm just not going to, um, I'm just not going to, um, I'm not going to watch it. I saw a story. I think this is Associated Press, Tenebee. And it's a NBA story. It is a CBS Sports story. List radio people. It says, should the NBA shorten games to 40 minutes? Pros and cons of move as league battles early season injury crisis. Stroy says opinions vary on the causes and potential solutions for the NBA's early season injury crisis. And an idea Commissioner Adam Silver once floated is back in the conversation. Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix said on the Open Floor podcast. Open floor wide, open 94 feet, slam dunk. That he has heard that Silver likes the idea of shortening NBA games to 40 minutes. I'd shorten it like a half hour. Just get in and get out, man. Just go to the last two minutes of the game. That generally lasts a half hour anyway, right? Just cut the last two minutes of the game. Everything. 00:18:03 Speaker 5: I don't know. 00:18:04 Speaker 2: It's the same thing when they talk about the NFL season. 00:18:08 Speaker 4: We know. 00:18:09 Speaker 2: Look, we just saw what happened to Dan. And by the way, the Jack Campbell news is good, right? It's getting better. Apparently, he now has movement in his upper and lower extremities. Is that what I saw? 00:18:20 Speaker 1: I didn't see anything on Jack today. 00:18:21 Speaker 2: No, that's what I thought I saw. Maybe I'm wrong. If I, if I'm passing along misinformation, I apologize, but I could have swore I saw something, uh, in regards to that. Um, and we know that, you know, I, I read the headline. We never dove into the story that the, the, the, the, the new, uh, study that came out that says since like 2002, I'll get the exact numbers, but like set of the 2000, some brains of, of, of, Former football players that passed away, 75% of them showed signs of CTE. That's how brutal the sport is, right? 00:19:00 Speaker 1: Online, I don't see an update from the one that we gave you yesterday. 00:19:03 Speaker 2: Shortening the season to... From 17, let's say they decide, you know, we're going to try to protect the NFL players. We're going to shorten the season and go from 17 to 16 games. That one game really make that big of a difference. You can get a concussion in game four. It's not like all the concussions happen in game 18 or game 17. I don't know where, if anything, stop the Thursday night games. You know, they talk about how it takes a full week, especially for the guys in the trenches. and the running backs that are getting banged around in the tight ends, the guys that are taking big hits all the time, the linebackers, it takes them, you know, especially when you get deeper into the season, it takes a week to get ready for the next game. And then we got guys playing on Monday and then playing on Thursday night. That doesn't make any sense to me. Shortening the NBA season to me is just better because it's, I talked about it half jokingly when I talked about the Wolves victory, that most early season NBA games are meaningless. I mean, they count in the schedule. It's not just me. The league invented the NBA Cup to try to make the players play harder early in the season. It's a fact. That's why they did it. They said that's why they did it. And so shortening the season would just be better, I think. And they never will because the fewer games you have, the fewer games you have for television, which means less advertisement. Fewer games that you have played in a season, the fewer fans go to stadiums, you don't make as much money. So they're never going to

go back there. But I just think it makes it, we tend to be, not just for safety purposes, but it's like, if you had like a 60 game season in the NBA, you go on a four or five game losing streak, you could be in big trouble. 00:20:57 Speaker 3: There's urgency. 00:20:57 Speaker 2: There's no need for any NBA cup at that point. You're trying to win every game because you go, you lose too many games early. You're out of it. You're out of it. It's over. Same thing for hockey. Same thing for Major League Baseball. There was another story I saved I didn't get to, and I glanced at the headline. I shouldn't admit that working at the All-Sports Station. Major League Baseball is considering shortening their season back to 154. They should. As a matter of fact, the NHL, they extended theirs, right? 00:21:25 Speaker 1: They're at 84 now. 00:21:27 Speaker 2: I don't understand the need for more and more and more games. 00:21:29 Speaker 1: It's all about the money. 00:21:30 Speaker 2: Well, I know that. 00:21:31 Speaker 1: It's all greed. 00:21:32 Speaker 3: But.... 00:21:36 Speaker 2: Anyway, I don't know if they're going to. 00:21:37 Speaker 1: I still like the old idea, and it hasn't been thrown around in a while, and I might be butchering the idea at this point. But remember there was the idea where, let's say you play a 40-minute game, right? And the Wolves are beating the Houston Rockets 80-70 after 40 minutes. We'll just use that as an example. Then they have a rule that, well, now it's... From whatever team is leading, we're playing to... We add 10 more points to that, and we play until that team... So for the Wolves... if they're up 80 to 70, first team to get to 90 wins. So you're always finishing. You don't have to worry with all the timeout and free throws at the end of the game. You're always finishing basically like on a walk-off basket. There's always excitement to end the game. At the very least, just try that for your NBA Cup games and see how it goes. Experiment if you're going to do the NBA Cup. Experiment with some other things and see how it goes and give it a try. 00:22:28 Speaker 2: I back that idea as well because it is insane at the end of games. how long they can take with, you know, hack-a-shack. On the Dan Patrick show back in 2025, Silver said, we have more involved in global basketball. The NBA is the only league that plays 48 minutes. I would be, I am, a fan of four 10-minute quarters. I'm not sure that many others are, putting aside what it means for records and things like that. Yeah, I think about a two-hour format for a game is more consistent with modern TV habits. So that's not even talking about trying to help with injuries. It's just that it should be shorter, and I'd be all for that as well. 00:23:07 Speaker 1: We'll take a break. 00:23:08 Speaker 2: My favorite segment of the week. Spread swing! That's next here on The Fan. This is son of common man Deuce here. 00:23:21 Speaker 1: People ask me all the time, is your dad

Jack Campbell said yesterday he has full movement in his lower body and is making steady progress with his upper body following that serious neck injury. So it looks like he might be well on his way to recovery. I don't know, but it sounds like he has full movement in his lower body and starting to make progress in the upper body. That's Jack Campbell of the Motor City Kitties. That music means it's time. 00:24:27 Speaker 5: For Spread Swing. Ah, Spread Swing. 00:24:38 Speaker 2: My first born deuce and the legendary one, Mark Rosen. And it was an exciting week, right? It was a pretty good week. 00:24:45 Speaker 1: Most of us. uh here were the standings going into last week i was in the lead with 47 points rosen and second with minus 29 common and third with minus 45 and a half and deuce and last with minus 65 uh we'll begin with me the leader i got two small victories last week uh both the underdogs uh won i had las vegas plus one and a half at the New York jets. And they won that game by five. So I gained six and a half points there. I also had Denver plus one at home against Kansas city. They won by four. So I gained five points there. So I move up to 58 and a half points. Still in first place. 00:25:26 Speaker 4: All right. 00:25:27 Speaker 1: Rosie made a big move last week. 00:25:29 Speaker 2: Oh, I did. 00:25:29 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:25:30 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:25:30 Speaker 1: You had the Rams minus six and a half against the LA Chargers. They were trailing early. They were. They ended up winning by 15, 24 to nine. So you gained eight and a half points there. You also got a little bit lucky on the Baltimore quarterback. I mean, Baltimore went down their third quarterback in the game. 00:25:48 Speaker 6: It's not luck, it's the game. 00:25:50 Speaker 8: It's Joey Fanano back there. 00:25:52 Speaker 6: Is he starting tonight? 00:25:53 Speaker 1: I think he is getting started. Yeah, he's going to start tonight. You had Buffalo minus three. They beat Baltimore by 26. On the week, you gained 31.5 points. And you're back in black. You are at 2.5 now. You're in the positive. 00:26:07 Speaker 6: I'm glad to hear it. 00:26:08 Speaker 1: Good week for Common. You had Detroit minus 3.5 against the Purple. They won by 4. You gained half a point there. You also had A-Rodge and the Pittsburgh Steelers minus 3.5. And they won by 21 over the Cleveland Browns. You gained 7.5. So 18 points on the week. 00:26:24 Speaker 2: Nice. 00:26:24 Speaker 1: You move up to minus 27.5. And there was one of us that did not have a positive week. 00:26:32 Speaker 2: I'm going to take the Ravens. 00:26:34 Speaker 1: He did take the Chicago Bears. 00:26:37 Speaker 6: There you go. 00:26:38 Speaker 1: Plus three on Monday Night Football at Seattle, and they won by 17. So you gained 20 points there. Wow. Biggie. Probably your best pick of the year. 00:26:46 Speaker 3: But. 00:26:48 Speaker 1: You also had Baltimore plus three against Buffalo, and they lost by 26. You lost 23, so you lost three on the week. You are now at minus 68. 00:26:57 Speaker 2: So you're changing your strategy, apparently, right? What was your strategy? You were telling me this as we were watching the Kitties-Vikings game. 00:27:04 Speaker 8: When I see a team that I think to myself, hey, this looks like a good spread. I'll go ahead and pick them up, avoid them, or do entirely the opposite. Pick the other team. I liked the look of Buffalo and Seattle. last week, so I said to myself, let's take the Bears and let's take the Ravens. 00:27:20 Speaker 1: One worked, one didn't. I think I'm just. 00:27:24 Speaker 8: Predestined to approach them and deuce a line, and there's nothing I can do about it. 00:27:27 Speaker 1: Here's the standings. 00:27:28 Speaker 2: I have 47. 00:27:28 Speaker 1: Excuse me, I have 58.5. 00:27:29 Speaker 6: Rosen has 2.5. 00:27:29 Speaker 1: Common at minus 27.5. And deuce at minus 68. So the order today is deuce, common, Rosen, Tenna. 00:27:45 Speaker 5: Spread swing. 00:27:53 Speaker 8: The most important position on a football team is the quarterback. Much like at the K-Fan 100.3, the most important show. 00:28:01 Speaker 2: Is the Power Trip. The only show that matters. 00:28:05 Speaker 6: He's off-soiling himself. 00:28:06 Speaker 2: I'm podcasting now. 00:28:08 Speaker 8: The Minnesota Vikings have a rock-solid team, but at the quarterback position, they are woefully short. 00:28:16 Speaker 1: They're facing woeful shortcomings at the quarterback position. 00:28:18 Speaker 5: When is this starting? 00:28:20 Speaker 1: That's not enough great. 00:28:21 Speaker 2: Wow. 00:28:22 Speaker 8: Kyler can at least run the football if he kind of, you know, if he peels out of the pocket and gets moving. Wentz is about as mobile as Jared Goff. He looks like a baby giraffe when he starts to run the football. The Buffalo Bills are coming to town. Their offense is just as good as the offense of the Detroit Lions. 00:28:38 Speaker 3: Better. 00:28:38 Speaker 8: I'm sure statistically they're very close, and they may even be ahead in some categories. I think the bottom is about to fall out for the Minnesota Vikings. I'm taking the Buffalo Bills. The question is, will the Vikings fans go down with the ship, the one that happens to rest on the corner of Chicago and I think 6th Street

maybe? Either way, the Buffalo Bills are going to win big time. I'm taking the Bills minus three. 00:29:00 Speaker 1: Vikings fans are thrilled by this pick. 00:29:02 Speaker 7: They're rushing to the windows right now. 00:29:05 Speaker 1: They made me rejoice. 00:29:07 Speaker 5: Spread swing. 00:29:11 Speaker 2: I'm going to go out on a limb. I don't go with the kiddies often, but they have now won. Is it three in a row? 00:29:24 Speaker 1: I think it's three. 00:29:26 Speaker 2: Going back to last year, they hadn't won two games in a row until just prior to the Viking game. They won back-to-back games. Now they've won three in a row. They'll miss Jack Campbell. Not just as. 00:29:40 Speaker 2: Take the football stuff aside, obviously, but the football stuff, when you add that in, he's a hell of a player. Pro bowler. So they'll miss him. They've got some other injuries in the secondary. They have guys that just aren't going to play. That being said, Miami's kind of a terrible team in a terrible city with terrible fans in a terrible stadium. Well, they are at home, seven points. I mean, Detroit should be able to stumble to 20 points, as Howie Long said. 00:30:07 Speaker 1: I can stumble to 40. 00:30:08 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, against Miami, that's the thing. So I think it's a fairly safe pick. So I'll give up the seven points, but I'll take the Motor City kid. 00:30:18 Speaker 1: You have to. 00:30:20 Speaker 5: Spread swing. 00:30:29 Speaker 7: The Cowboys are a laughingstock franchise. We know their ineptitude when it comes to the postseason. Every week we get a shot at Jerry Jones looking disgusted up in his Caesar-like booth upstairs at some stadium. And their defense isn't very good. But they're playing The Indianapolis Colts this week. And we all know what's been going on with that franchise. The trading deadline is getting closer and closer by the day. Not just the Jonathan Taylor, who played a little bit last week. Now it's their quarterback, Daniel Jones. Is he going to get traded? It's got to be suffocating for all those players going to work to try to tune that stuff out. I'll give Dallas one more shot to be a representative NFL team and not be the talk of any national conversation with Dak Prescott. And I'll go with Dallas, give the five and a half at Indy, and put the Colts finally out of their misery. 00:31:27 Speaker 2: Colts are going to win. 00:31:28 Speaker 6: They might. Well, then take them. 00:31:30 Speaker 2: Well, there's better games to take than that. 00:31:31 Speaker 6: Oh, okay. 00:31:32 Speaker 2: It's one of those things where. 00:31:36 Speaker 5: They might. 00:31:37 Speaker 2: It's another one of those things where. 00:31:40 Speaker 2: Those guys don't want to lose. And they look at Dallas and say, well, that's just because Dallas is an awful football team. They're just terrible. They're terrible. I don't care about their offense or anything. They're not any good. They've never been any good since their last big game win. 00:31:54 Speaker 1: Indy's down in the dumps. 00:31:55 Speaker 8: I say they get fired up and say, you know what? We're at our home stadium. Let's go out and beat them. 00:32:00 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're saying we can beat this club. Let's go out and get a W. 00:32:02 Speaker 6: This isn't a rah-rah thing anymore. This is business. 00:32:08 Speaker 5: Spread swing. 00:32:16 Speaker 1: The San Francisco 49ers are 10-point favorites over the Las Vegas Raiders. Sam Fran is just there beat up on offense. Christian McCaffrey didn't practice yesterday. He's got a hamstring issue. Mike Evans still dealing with ribs and Achilles. Did he get a look at the MRI with his hammy? I don't know if he's week-to-week or not, but Debo Samuel also has a hamstring injury. So Sam Fran's just a little beat up on offense and This isn't a small sample size anymore. This is halfway through the season. And the Las Vegas Raiders are sixth in the NFL in points per game. Kirk Cousins has shown that he's a very good quarterback. 00:32:55 Speaker 3: You like that? 00:32:56 Speaker 1: You like that? And 10 points is just a lot. So I'm taking Kirko plus 10 basically against anyone in the league at this point, the way the Vegas is going. So I'm going to take the points. I'll take Las Vegas plus 10 at San Fran. 00:33:08 Speaker 5: All right. Spread swing. 00:33:18 Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos are coming off of. 00:33:20 Speaker 8: A mighty impressive victory. 00:33:23 Speaker 1: Last week they beat the Chiefs, right? Yeah, they got a break or two at the end. 00:33:26 Speaker 2: They did. 00:33:27 Speaker 6: They won. 00:33:27 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. 00:33:28 Speaker 2: You make your breaks. 00:33:29 Speaker 6: Yeah, you do. 00:33:29 Speaker 1: They sure do. They took their breaks and they made off with a victory. 00:33:32 Speaker 2: I mean, when we said he got lucky on his pick because the Ravens lost two quarters. 00:33:36 Speaker 5: You know what I mean? 00:33:36 Speaker 6: Lux. 00:33:36 Speaker 2: And now you're basically the opposite. You're saying, oh, they got lucky. 00:33:39 Speaker 6: I didn't say lucky. 00:33:40 Speaker 2: Well, same thing. 00:33:41 Speaker 6: Breaks. 00:33:41 Speaker 1: And you're quick to backpedal on your logic to rip me, Rosie. How about that? 00:33:45 Speaker 8: You're ripping my prediction of the Denver Broncos. I think they're going to roll into Carolina and destroy that club. 00:33:51 Speaker 5: Really? 00:33:53 Speaker 8: Carolina's lost a couple in a row. I'm not too impressed with them. I think the Broncos... are a very strong football team. I think even their 6-2 record doesn't quite capture how talented that football team is. Give me Denver minus 2.5 to destroy the Carolina Panthers. 00:34:08 Speaker 1: Carolina's getting some offensive linemen back for this game. Well, they did make a lot of offseason acquisitions. 00:34:12 Speaker 2: They did. 00:34:13 Speaker 6: Pay attention to that. 00:34:14 Speaker 1: They ain't going to.

00:34:16 Speaker 6: Help. 00:34:17 Speaker 5: Spread Swing. 00:34:20 Speaker 2: I really didn't think this game would slip through the cracks, because I like to start with the kiddies, even though I know I'm going to pick them and everybody knows, blah, blah, blah. I can't believe nobody's jumping on the Bears. I mean, the Bears look like, they look like a combination of the Joe Montana, San Francisco 49ers, the 85 Bears, greatest show on turf. That team took apart the defending world champions. I mean, they doubled up on it. Was it 34-17, I think? 34-17. I mean, they just dominated that game. 00:34:53 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is elite. He's a great quarterback. 00:34:55 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay is a good club. I think they're solid. But I think Chicago at home on Sunday night will have their way with them. I think this is a game. This is... This could... I should probably... I'm going to double... Give me the double. 00:35:08 Speaker 1: Whoa! 00:35:10 Speaker 6: Okay. 00:35:10 Speaker 1: Hold on. 00:35:11 Speaker 2: I think the. 00:35:15 Speaker 2: I think the bear is going to win by 20 plus. And I think it's that big of a route. And so I think let's, if they win by 25, I'll win 50. I'll be right back in the driver's seat. 00:35:25 Speaker 1: Well, if they win by 25, they're six point favorites. And then you'd get 19. You'd double up the 19 to 38. 00:35:30 Speaker 2: So 38, I'm back. And then, then you know what? Then I'd have a message for Tenabee and all the rest of you. 00:35:37 Speaker 3: Objects in your mirror may be closer than they appear. 00:35:40 Speaker 2: The Bears, double and down. I'm giving six. 00:35:43 Speaker 8: I don't think I'm very close to you, Pops. I'm well in the rear view compared to you and the rest of the crew. 00:35:51 Speaker 5: Spread swing. 00:36:00 Speaker 3: He's JJ. 00:36:02 Speaker 1: I like this one. 00:36:04 Speaker 2: 100%. 00:36:04 Speaker 7: Giants coming off a bye against an awful Eagles team that's lost six. 00:36:09 Speaker 6: In a row. 00:36:09 Speaker 7: They're averaging 14 points a game. We know they have their quarterback issues. Their offense isn't very good. They weren't very good before Hurts got hurt and had to leave with a blood clot from hurt. But the Giants are feeling it right now. They know they can win that division, and they have a quarterback they believe in. They're even talking about trading Dart now. I mean, it's like what in the world is going on? 00:36:34 Speaker 2: He could have been our. 00:36:35 Speaker 7: Starting quarterback and put all this stuff to bed on Monday night against Buffalo. 00:36:39 Speaker 2: Sounds like you're criticizing the head coach. 00:36:42 Speaker 6: I have been. 00:36:44 Speaker 2: I've never heard you once criticize the front office or KOC. You're now criticizing. 00:36:47 Speaker 7: Apparently you weren't listening to the show, your own show yesterday. When I told him there, when I said, I said, they are so boring to watch on offense right now. And then someone said, why don't you criticize KOC? 00:36:59 Speaker 6: I said, sure, I will. 00:37:00 Speaker 7: Third and four, they throw the ball 50 yards downfield instead of going for the first down. 00:37:04 Speaker 2: Well, that was a good play. 00:37:05 Speaker 1: You should take that purple play off. 00:37:06 Speaker 2: Well, because they thought they were expecting the run. They just didn't have a quarterback that can complete the pass. 00:37:12 Speaker 6: Okay, well, then don't put them in that position. 00:37:15 Speaker 2: Well, then you can't run the ball every single play. 00:37:18 Speaker 6: I didn't say run it. 00:37:20 Speaker 7: Here's an idea. Throw a seven, eight yard out. I've seen other teams do it, like the Lions and pretty much everybody else do it. 00:37:26 Speaker 6: What's wrong with that? 00:37:27 Speaker 2: The guy was open on the play. 00:37:28 Speaker 6: He was open. 00:37:29 Speaker 2: It was a bad throw by him. 00:37:31 Speaker 7: Well then they should know their quarterback a little bit better. Anyway, I like the giants, um, on the road. 00:37:38 Speaker 2: Are you saying KOC has mismanaged the quarterback position? 00:37:40 Speaker 7: The whole front office did. I'm not just saying KOC. I think everyone did. And this is why they're in this predicament that they are right now. We've had, you know, how many different quarterbacks? I mean, this is not a way, this is not a winning formula when you have a defense that's as good and as dominant as the Vikings. So anyway, I digress. I'm taking the giants. Um, we'll see what they do. McCarthy can stay healthy. That's going to be a big if throughout the rest of the season. But I think he's feeling it right now, and his teammates believe in him. And minus three at Philly against the Eagles. Think about that. I would have never imagined that. Why don't you double down on that? No, I got to save that for later in the year. Giants minus three. 00:38:19 Speaker 5: Spread swing. 00:38:30 Speaker 1: Common, I am tempted to go head-to-head with you because I do have Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay is my third selection this week. What is it about Tampa Bay? 00:38:37 Speaker 2: Can you just tell me what the logic would be there? 00:38:40 Speaker 1: The last two weeks, they've been as good as anyone in the National Football League. They've been much better since Baker Mayfield got back. They do have a very good defense, especially up front. They've been running the ball like crazy. I know the weather conditions were a little weird last week, but they've rushed for almost 600 yards the last two weeks. I'm expecting a ball-control offense from Tampa Bay to keep Caleb Williams off the field, and I think they're going to make it close. 00:39:01 Speaker 6: I agree with you. 00:39:03 Speaker 2: Well, you do, do you? 00:39:04 Speaker 7: I do. 00:39:04 Speaker 2: Why don't you go again? Why don't you take Tampa Bay then? 00:39:06 Speaker 6: I like the Giants better. 00:39:08 Speaker 8: Tenna, I thought you

were looking forward rather than looking back. That's what you said in your most recent Spread Swing segments is that you're going to look to the future rather than the past. 00:39:16 Speaker 1: I think the Buccaneers have been— Which one are you talking about? All the— what do you mean, which one are you talking about? I'm trying to remember the bit. 00:39:22 Speaker 8: You said that the past couple of games, everybody in spread swing tends to look towards the past, and you're going to look towards the future. 00:39:29 Speaker 1: We can show you some references to the past, the recent past. Okay. I think that Bears defense is going to bottle up Baker. 00:39:35 Speaker 2: You heard what Ben Johnson said. He'd rather have a one-play scoring drive than eating up the clock. They're just going to bombs away against Tampa Bay. 00:39:46 Speaker 1: I guess my point is I think Tampa Bay is maybe better than most people think. But I'm not going to go there. 00:39:52 Speaker 6: Oh, you're not taking them? 00:39:54 Speaker 1: I am going to go somewhere else in the NFC North. Oh, my goodness. Packers, three-point underdogs at Foxborough against the New England Patriots. Patriots also dealing with some injuries on the offensive side. Well, Drake May popped up on the injury part with a right shoulder injury. The Pats are successful because they are blitz heavy, but actually Jordan Love is one of the best in the league at handling the blitz. And Green Bay, they're coming off a little bit of a mini-bye because they played Thursday night the previous week. I think the Packers win this game outright. over the New England Patriots, I'm going to take the Packers plus three. 00:40:34 Speaker 2: Master control supervisor of the soon-to-be big game world champion, Minnesota Vikings, is picking me, which means you're rooting for Green Bay to win the game. 00:40:43 Speaker 1: No, I would love for them to lose. There'd be nothing more I would love than on Sunday. to be able to do a Cesar Romero delicious gif on social media. I would love it. 00:40:53 Speaker 6: Okay. Okay. 00:40:54 Speaker 2: I just want to make sure. 00:40:54 Speaker 1: No, I'm not rooting for him. 00:40:55 Speaker 2: Sounded like you were going to be over at Sinekin's place. You and Brett are going to hang out together. 00:41:03 Speaker 8: I was thinking about taking the Patriots, so I'm actually heading south later today. 00:41:07 Speaker 1: Now I feel better about my selection. 00:41:09 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll be passing Diamond Joe, so you can hand me some straight cash, homie, and I can make you a fortune if you'd like to. 00:41:14 Speaker 5: Think about it. 00:41:14 Speaker 2: You were going to have the opportunity to call a playoff game in Duluth this weekend. 00:41:19 Speaker 1: Correct. 00:41:20 Speaker 2: And the company was going to put you up at the hotel room. 00:41:23 Speaker 1: I was going to be big time. 00:41:24 Speaker 2: You were excited about it, but now your gal is in a wedding. 00:41:29 Speaker 1: Yes. 00:41:29 Speaker 2: So she's like— A bridesmaid. 00:41:31 Speaker 6: A bridesmaid. 00:41:32 Speaker 7: Yes. 00:41:33 Speaker 2: And you're forced— I. 00:41:35 Speaker 8: Was forced— I was forced to be here. I'll be telling everybody at the wedding. I'll be forced to don the suit and pull up, but I'll see a lot of old friends, so it'll be a good time. But it ain't going to be calling playoff football up in Duluth for— Look at you, dedicated. It was like a strip varsity times game time MN, like co-stream that they were going to do. 00:41:54 Speaker 1: But that'll wait for another day. Hockey season's coming up soon. 00:41:57 Speaker 2: You got a lot of hockey games. 00:41:58 Speaker 1: Happy wife, happy life, Deuce. 00:42:00 Speaker 7: Yes, dear. 00:42:01 Speaker 6: You're wise beyond your years, young man. 00:42:03 Speaker 2: Correct. Yes, dear. 00:42:04 Speaker 1: Those are the two most critical words in a relationship. 00:42:07 Speaker 6: I'm impressed. 00:42:08 Speaker 1: Yes and dear. 00:42:10 Speaker 2: I'm disappointed. You would have done the game. I got a game to call. 00:42:14 Speaker 6: Yeah. 00:42:15 Speaker 2: It's what I want to do for my career. 00:42:16 Speaker 6: Every game I do is better. 00:42:17 Speaker 1: Common would have picked a golf round over going to that wedding. Correct. You would have picked a quick nine holes. 00:42:22 Speaker 2: Good for you. Yeah. Good for you. 00:42:23 Speaker 1: It'll be a good time. I'm excited. 00:42:25 Speaker 5: What time? 00:42:26 Speaker 6: I like the attitude. Right. 00:42:28 Speaker 2: So the wedding's Saturday? Yes. 00:42:31 Speaker 1: Correct. 00:42:31 Speaker 2: What time are you headed back to Minneapolis? 00:42:34 Speaker 1: Saturday night? 00:42:36 Speaker 8: I'll be coming back sometime Sunday morning or afternoon, and I know where you're going with this. 00:42:42 Speaker 1: The Motor City Kitties. 00:42:43 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you weren't supposed to do that. You were supposed to just play the bit. You were supposed to rewind it. Just go, I was going to leave around noon, 1 o'clock. 00:42:54 Speaker 1: Yeah, head out around noon, 1 o'clock. 00:42:57 Speaker 2: What about the Lions game? If you're not home. 00:43:03 Speaker 2: At 1314 in St. Lane at opening kickoff, I'm done with you and you're off the lines. 00:43:08 Speaker 6: Wow. 00:43:08 Speaker 1: Should I return the Lions letter jacket? 00:43:11 Speaker 2: Yes. I gave that Lions letter jacket to you that I bought back in 1989. 00:43:14 Speaker 1: It's a really old jacket. 00:43:18 Speaker 8: It's still in great condition. It's sweet, but it may not be mine after this Sunday. 00:43:22 Speaker 2: I am disappointed that you won't be home to watch the game with me. 00:43:25 Speaker 1: Well, priorities, old timer. 00:43:27 Speaker 2: I guess. 00:43:28 Speaker 6: You guys will be going to the Sunday night game, right, when the Lions are here? 00:43:31 Speaker 2: Oh, gosh, yeah. 00:43:32 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll be there. 00:43:33 Speaker 2: It's the only game I go to. It's the only pro sporting event I go to. If Deuce stops going, I stop going. We bond. 00:43:40 Speaker 8: And if you don't get up in the iHeartSuite, then don't even bother. 00:43:44 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? You can't sit in those regular seats anymore. 00:43:49 Speaker 2: I told Jack Morris to his face in Hastings High School 10 years ago. I said, you ruined it for me. He goes, what do you mean? I said, Game 7, that's the greatest sporting event I've ever seen in any game I watch. hails in comparison and he pauses and says, I can understand that. 00:44:06 Speaker 6: And you've stuck to your word pretty much. I've stuck to my word. 00:44:09 Speaker 2: There you go. Spread swing in the books for another week. Tenby, you want to go over the picks again? Because there are people that are keeping track at home. 00:44:16 Speaker 1: Yeah, especially those that want to go down to Iowa or Wisconsin and make a bet. Deuce is taking Buffalo minus three against the Minnesota Vikings. How about you yell at me for picking the Packers? He picked against the Vikings. is also taking Denver minus two and a half on the road to Carolina. Common's taking Detroit minus seven at Miami and Chicago minus six at home, and he's doubling down. Rosen's got Dallas minus five and a half at Indianapolis and the New York Giants minus three at Philadelphia. And then I'm taking two underdogs. I got Vegas plus 10 at San Francisco and Green Bay plus three at New England. 00:44:55 Speaker 8: You know, I can pick against the Vikings because I'm not the master control producer on the Minnesota Vikings radio network. 00:45:01 Speaker 2: Yeah, master control supervisor picking Green Bay. 00:45:04 Speaker 1: I'm not compromised. 00:45:06 Speaker 2: Husker! 00:45:07 Speaker 5: Power! 00:45:09 Speaker 1: Tomorrow night, Illinois. 00:45:10 Speaker 2: Yeah, Friday night. They've just moved to Friday night because they're so interested. 00:45:15 Speaker 8: The fans have given up on the Huskers, as have the national television stations. 00:45:20 Speaker 2: Midnight start, too. 00:45:23 Speaker 5: We'll break. 00:45:23 Speaker 2: We'll come back.
