WEBVTT
00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:03.839
And welcome, welcome, welcome, everybody, to another episode of Real Talk.
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:05.200
Doc, you doing all right today?
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:06.240
Yes, I am.
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:07.120
I'm blessed, man.
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:09.759
I love this time of year, and our listeners do too.
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:10.400
Let's do it.
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:11.439
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:18.160
So we are creeping in on a period where we are going to have uh four sports on at the same time.
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:25.600
So we're going to, of course, it's football season, as we all know, uh, but uh baseball playoffs are going on right now.
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:31.679
Uh basketball is getting ready to kick off uh next week, and of course, hockey uh as well.
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:38.640
So we are getting ready to dive into uh Uncharted Territory to where we can have all of our sports on at the same time.
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.280
So uh we have a ton to talk to.
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.920
Um, of course, NFL is the major topic.
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:48.320
The uh the Cowboys are immense, the Eagles are are uh Syrian.
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.079
We don't know what he's doing there.
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:57.039
Uh the Bills look great, the Rams are supposed to be everybody's Super Bowl uh team, and they are two and three right now.
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.560
Chargers are 0-5.
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.759
Uh there's so many storylines.
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:08.480
The Falcons ended up going into uh uh New Orleans Monday Night Football, uh taking care of business.
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.879
So there's so much that we have to talk about.
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:16.879
So um, but we will start with the uh MLB uh playoffs.
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.879
Uh there's there's so much to talk about there.
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:28.400
So um Doc, we're gonna do we we started up a new storyline as far as uh the um Doc's top five storylines.
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:36.239
So between the Dodgers, uh Brewers, my padres got knocked out, Otani's playing, he's playing, he's not playing.
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.760
Uh he hadn't really played necessarily in a couple months.
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.159
Uh so uh the Raysers, so much to talk about in MLB.
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:50.159
So, Doc, I will give this to you, your top five storylines for Major League Baseball playoffs.
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:51.840
Floor is yours, my friend.
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:53.840
Yes, I'm thank you, Marlon.
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.000
Uh the first one had to be, and this is major, what's wrong with Otani?
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.920
He keeps telling everybody that he's fine, but he's not fine.
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:10.719
And uh Jessica Mendoza pointed out his swing rate uh uh swing situation, his ratio to the transfer of weight.
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:12.560
And that left knee is bothering him, man.
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.719
He told Dave Roberts tonight he's a good goal, but they dropped him down to number six.
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:21.599
This is one of the premier athletes in sports, and he's struggling badly, you know.
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:30.400
And uh, you know, you have to figure that this is um because if he struggled, it it affects the Dodgers, and as a result, they're down 0-2.
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:43.919
So we'll see as the time goes on whether O'Tani was uh significantly hurt, or it's just that he's tired playing in two straight World Series over 190 games total the past two seasons and pitching.
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.879
But I think he's hurt and he won't let on how injured.
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.840
The second storyline is what's so different about the Brewers this year after getting swept by the same Dodgers last year.
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.520
And I think it's the fact that they have experience in playing this team.
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:10.080
The four-game series this past season helped them playing in Los Angeles, but I think Jackson and uh Turio and um some of the other cats, especially Mizaroski, the picture, they just got experience.
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.560
And Pat Murphy, he's a great manager, man.
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.319
He might win manager again this year.
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:15.360
I think he already did.
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.360
So the Brewers are no joke, man, based off last year's experience.
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:20.879
You know, payback is a bitch.
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:22.639
They got swept by the Dodgers.
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:35.360
My third storyline is are the Rays in trouble against the Guardians who came from death door against the White Sox, and uh they were down 0-2, and they took game one in Tampa at the top.
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:42.400
Yeah, I would say that given that the Rays um, you know, won game two, Marlon, that they're okay.
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.680
But that's all uh the uh Guardians wanted to do.
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.199
Cleveland, you know, Ramirez is doing good for them.
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.360
Uh uh Manny Ramirez's son, baby boy, if you will.
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.039
And I the the Guardians have their hit factor, you know.
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.759
The Rays have been somewhat exposed, even though, you know, that's all the Guardians did was one.
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.759
Number four, your Padres, brother, the San Diego Padre.
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:12.319
I expected them to go to the World Series based off the relief pitching and the pitching and Machado and Tantis.
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:13.439
What the hell is going on there?
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.160
And what do they go going forward for next year?
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:27.120
You know, they got to sign some people and uh Machado and Tantis are going nowhere, but you know, it's another disappointment for Padre fans like yourself in the city of San Diego.
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.879
I love the manager, but something's amiss going on down there.
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.759
They lost to an experienced Milwaukee Brewers team, I give you that.
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:39.759
But you had two games in San Diego to write the ship, and I think you're tired of losing in the postseason in a big way.
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.120
And number five has to be the New York Yankees, Aaron Boone's club.
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:49.439
Everybody's turned tired of Booney and Cashman, the general manager, but they said that Booney's coming back.
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.399
Aaron Boone's coming back, and of course they didn't have Judge.
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:53.759
It's Judge Dunn.
00:04:53.920 --> 00:05:01.600
That's the question I have at topic number five in Major League storylines is Aaron Judge Dunn at age 34, 6'7.
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:07.839
Is the body so big, but can he sustain 162 games plus the postseason?
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.279
So those are my five storylines relative to that.
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:20.079
I think the Yankees, they're not gonna bounce back nature because the race seems to be, you know, uh uh there for years to come with such a young roster.
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:26.480
And Marlin, remember the Red Sox, they went on that insane midseason 23 and one roll.
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:28.720
You figure they're gonna come back with their manager.
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.360
So I don't know, in Toronto and ALE.
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:38.480
So I think the Yankees have ran the ship because I think Stanton in this$300 million salary, he didn't play all year.
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.319
I think they're finished, man.
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:41.360
Pitching aside.
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:42.720
The pitching did nothing.
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.079
They still got swept.
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:44.399
Okay.
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.600
So yeah, those are my top five storylines to make it brief.
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:48.959
Your take on any of that.
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:49.519
Okay.
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:56.240
Um, so the the biggest question that I have for you, and I know a lot of people that are our listeners have this question.
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.199
When you look at the you have four teams, Doc.
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:04.240
You have four teams left that are that have the b ability to make it to the World Series.
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:09.279
So who do you have making it to the World Series out of these four teams?
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:14.000
Well, I had the Dodgers prior to the playoffs, and I can't I can't uh waiver there.
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:26.720
Snell gave up a first inning bomb on a first pitch to Jackson Cheerios, but you figure that the Dodgers being at home, I think uh Snell had six strikeouts, but you can't count out Milwaukee, so I'm sticking with the Dodgers.
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.680
And in the American League, I always love the Rays, man.
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.480
You know, but they still have to go back to Cleveland now.
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.399
You know, I had the Rays to start the year, and I'm not waving.
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:37.839
Dodgers raid rays.
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.319
That's why you love baseball, because you don't know.
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.079
And I'm sticking with that, even though the Dodgers seem to be in trouble.
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:45.360
But it's a long series, man.
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.279
I don't see the Dodgers going on 0-3.
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.399
So I'm sticking with the Dodgers and uh uh Rays.
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:50.800
Go ahead.
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:56.720
Okay, and we will have this conversation next week whenever uh we'll see who advances to the World Series.
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:02.399
Now, next question I have for you this is looking, this is uh almost like mock draft, if you will.
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:07.759
Way too early predictions, as we love to do with the NFL, college football, and all that.
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:14.319
So looking into next year, you you mentioned earlier about a team that could be okay next year.
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:30.879
So next year, who do you see uh in this position with the final four that we have for college, uh college, uh for uh the the World Series, if you will, the final four, who do you see in this position next year, the final four teams to make it to the World Series?
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.199
Your prediction right now, way too early, but your prediction right now?
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:43.600
Well, I think uh uh my Braves, of course, are gonna bounce back and of course the Dodgers, you know, um, because the payroll is gonna.
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:48.800
I think O'Tani, whatever struggles he's having, if he's hurt, and I think he is, he's gonna be healthy.
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:55.600
And then in the American League, man, you can't discount the same rays that I took a bite at early in the year.
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:02.079
And of course, you want to see uh uh Toronto based bout with Guerrero and all that.
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:06.720
I just think the Yankees are hamstrung by the decision to keep Aaron Boone.
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:13.120
And uh, so I think Toronto, the Rays, the uh Dodgers, and the Atlanta Braves.
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:20.560
Your Padres had to prove to people that they can make a major move during the deadline or in the offseason to get over the hump, man.
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.399
I'm putting it for you desperately in the property.
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:22.720
St.
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.399
Nigel's a beautiful city, beautiful bomb park, but those are my four teams to uh shorten the answer.
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:29.759
Okay, okay, perfect.
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:31.120
So we will see it next week.
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:40.720
We will obviously have a recap uh of what happened as far as in this division, uh in this this series for both of the these conferences, and then we'll go from there.
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.679
So, okay, so all right, so on to uh college football.
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:49.200
So if you can document I'm asking for three, but if you can give me more, go ahead and give me more.
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.399
But I'll just do a little quick recap of what we have now.
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.440
Um, of course, Georgia um is back on top.
00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:03.039
Uh Oklahoma shocks Texas, which I don't think anybody uh that that rivalry is is is tough out here in Dallas.
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:08.159
And uh, you know, at the state fair, you have a ton of Oklahoma fans uh that are there.
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.480
So it's that environment's very hectic.
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:15.679
But Oklahoma does shock Texas, um, Ohio State and Indiana.
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:25.759
Um there's uh there's uh you know Notre Dame, uh Unbeaten uh against BYU, uh Alabama, Tennessee.
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.240
Uh there's a lot of storylines right now.
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.840
Oregon, um, you know, so there's a lot of storylines right now.
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:33.360
So if you can give me three, give me three.
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.440
But if you have more, Doc, go ahead and give me more.
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.639
Your top three storylines for college football.
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:40.159
Well, I'm gonna give you five, man.
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:41.679
It's such a hot button topic.
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.080
Everybody knows that I'm a college football fanatic.
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:45.919
I'm gonna start at the very top, man.
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:54.960
Is Arnch Manning overrated given that he had two INTs and a big spot against Arch Robert, including a pick six against the Oklahoma Sooners late?
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:55.919
I think he is.
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:03.519
He was the number one recruit four years ago, sat behind Quinny Ures for two years, and then last year, he was mediocre at best.
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.519
He got better as the season went along.
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:12.320
But this year, man, the team was winning because of Colin Simmons on that defense, you know, on the edge rusher.
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:17.759
Arch Manning has not proven to me he's worthy of a top five pick in next year's NFL draft, man.
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:19.519
Those interceptions were critical.
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.279
And Steve Sarkeeson, the head coach, said that we had to stop making mistakes.
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.720
He didn't call out Arch in particular, but you all knew what he was talking about.
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:27.039
Right.
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:36.080
You know, it seems like in a big spot, whether it gets Georgia two years ago or Oklahoma this past season, or even uh Ohio State early.
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:41.120
He didn't really have a big game against the uh Buckeye's, but this was the Coupe de Gras.
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:47.279
This is Oklahoma, who got drubbed by Georgia two weeks earlier, and they had an off week to think about and then came out.
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.039
They beat Texas, you know.
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:53.360
So does many people think that Arch Manning will be one of the top five picks next year?
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.000
No, I think Arch Manning needs another year of school.
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:02.080
The pick six and the mistakes that he's made, panicking under enormous pressure instead of staying cool.
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:08.879
The name on his back of his jersey is a big deal because if he was Joe Smith, they'll say it'd be a fourth or fifth rounder.
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:09.840
And I'm not kidding.
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:11.519
But I agree.
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:12.879
You know, it is what it is.
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:17.279
You know, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna dime in on that and I'll let you get to everything else.
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:26.320
Um just just from what I've seen, Doc, he looks, I'm not saying he looks average, but hey, I'm just gonna say he looks pretty average.
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:32.879
So not now when you think about where he could be drafted, that's that's a big thing.
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:42.799
Do you think, and I'll ask you this question, do you think it's gonna be like an Eli situation where he gets drafted to the Chargers or the Titans or whatever that said, no, he's gonna go somewhere else.
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:44.879
Do you see it being a situation?
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:49.679
Because he's probably going to be the number one overall pick if it trends north.
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:55.120
So what do you think he's going to what what how do you think that draft situation is gonna pan out?
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:57.039
Well, I think that's a very good question.
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:05.120
I think there's a lot of needy teams that need quarterback because of the Titans, you know, they're they're they're questioning whether he should have drafted Cam Ward two years ago.
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.960
He looked good coming out of Miami, but the league is a different animal, you know.
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.679
You reference Eli, but Eli was a mediocre.
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.519
The team was, but Eli played well for Ole Miss many, many moons ago.
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.919
And of course, you got Dante Moore for Oregon.
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.919
But I think Miami Dolphins who are in bad shape needing a quarterback.
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:23.519
The Titans, it looks like.
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.720
Uh, even my Atlanta Falcons, who knows Penix is the guy?
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:27.919
Can he stay healthy?
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:41.200
But uh it's one of those things where because of the name on the back of his jersey and the pool that that family has led by Peyton and Archie, the former quarterback in the 70s, I think he'll be a late number one pick or mid.
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.600
But no, I don't I think personally the eyeball test doesn't pass it for me.
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:46.639
Okay, but yeah.
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:47.279
Okay.
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:48.399
All right.
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.120
Other storylines you got for uh college football.
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:52.080
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.919
After the Bama victory, will Georgia go undefeated?
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:57.200
And I think so.
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:58.320
You look at the schedule.
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:02.399
We got Florida, who's who fell apart badly after beating Ole Miss.
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.639
We got Auburn this week in Athens.
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:13.360
You got Ole Miss on the road, which is problematic given that they still have, some people's minds, the best quarterback in the country in Trinidad Champions.
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:17.519
And he did clown us in the CFP, but they've had another issues.
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.720
Uh some of Georgia's injured players are coming back.
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.799
So I think Georgia will remain, you know, undefeated under big pressure.
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.840
Kirby Smart's gonna let not gonna let this thing fall away.
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:32.559
Number three, Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith is otherworldly, but you already know that.
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:33.919
Will he win the Heisman?
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:39.600
I think um uh the kid for the Philadelphia Eagles won the Heisman.
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.600
Last time a wide receiver won it out of Alabama.
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.960
Uh and it's one of those things, his name escapes me right now.
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:48.320
Number six for the Eagles.
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.399
Uh Devontae Smith.
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.080
Yeah, Devontae Smith.
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:53.679
He won the Heisman as a receiver.
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.159
That's the last time a nun quarterback won it.
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:02.000
And this kid, Jeremiah Smith, his head's an above, above that, you know, from day one.
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.799
He has all Ohio State's records at receiver.
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:12.399
That includes Terry Glenn, Chris Carter, you know, Chris Olavi, and some of the others, uh, Jackson Smith and Jigma.
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.639
He has all the records, touchdowns and receiving.
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:15.679
You got that name right.
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:16.639
Wow, wow.
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:18.639
Yeah.
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.240
Hey, can can can you name the receiver for the Lions?
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:24.720
Uh his name is, yeah.
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:31.919
His name is uh uh Amir uh he got me on that one.
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:36.000
You always get me uh uh tell you, I would get you, brother Marley.
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:38.000
But um it's okay.
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:41.120
You can ask me a baseball question and I'll be stumped, so it's all good.
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.080
So yeah, but I think Jeremiah Smith will win the Heisman, man.
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:51.360
Uh uh the quarterback saying, as Julian's saying, is stringing the rock.
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:58.320
And uh Jeremiah Smith is just too dynamic, 225, 6'3, and 4'3 speed with route running ability everywhere.
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.039
He might be the first pick of the draft, you know.
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:06.879
Um, how good is a 5-0 UCLA team after beating Oregon on the road?
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.159
And what the hell so Oregon, man, under Dan Lanning.
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:12.720
Some people's choice, they were gonna go to the CFP.
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:14.559
Now they got two or three losses.
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:16.480
You know, they should have lost to Boise State.
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:29.519
But UCLA, the Bruins, Mike and the OC's Bruins went out there and beat them in Austin Stadium, which is historically speaking, it's a hard place to play, Mullen, because you know, out here I watched a little bit of Pac-12.
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:32.159
And uh it Arson Stadium, the fans are right on you.
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:34.879
But give UCLA that new coach credit 5-0.
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:43.679
And number five, after all that hoopla concerning Lane Kiffin, they suffered two losses early, and that's not good.
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:50.960
You know, uh they already got bashed by uh by uh, you know uh miss.
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:56.639
And then this past weekend they lost to Kentucky on a two-point conversion run.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.399
I don't think Lane Kiffin is an ex's an old guy, strategic, if you will.
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:01.840
They always had great players.
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.840
But LSU might have three or four losses.
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.559
They still have some hard games down the stretch, brother.
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:07.200
You know?
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.440
So we'll see where that goes with that.
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:10.960
Those are my top five.
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:19.840
If you're Arsh Manning, Georgia undefeated, Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith went in a Heisman, five and O UCLA, and of course, Lane Kiff.
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:24.559
Even after all this mess, he got two losses, and I might fall out at top 25.
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:25.679
So that's it right there.
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:26.480
You'll call it.
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:27.600
Okay, all right.
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:36.159
And looking forward um to uh the the week, what is it, week nine or week week seven, excuse me, week nine, week seven.
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:36.960
Week seven.
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.799
Ohio State, Indiana, that's gonna be a great one.
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:47.360
Um Texas shouldn't have any issues with Florida, but we know how Arch can be at times.
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.480
Uh LSU, Mississippi State should be a great one.
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:53.519
So we have a lot of good are Auburn.
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.159
You're not you're not worried about Auburn, are you, Doc?
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.879
No, I'm not worried about him, especially in Athens.
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:00.399
They got some issues down here.
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:01.840
Yeah, first year head coach.
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.759
The uh Alabama at Tennessee thing is kind of big in Knoxville.
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:11.440
Yeah, you know, hypo, Josh Heiko, can he rebound from last year's loss in Tuscaloosa?
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:11.920
Yep.
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:16.160
And uh, you know, Alabama's missing a stud receiver, Williams, number one.
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.440
He's got a concussion and he got a leg injury against Georgia.
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:22.319
So that can be another Alabama's favorite by eight and a half.
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.480
I think I'll take the eight and a half in Knoxville.
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.440
I'll take Tennessee plus the eight and a half, and we'll take it from here.
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:32.400
Not saying Tennessee's gonna win, but it's gonna be very interesting in front of 106,000 people in Knoxville.
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:33.200
Absolutely.
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.359
Three three other games that'll be very close.
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.160
Uh uh Missouri um at Ole Miss.
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:39.680
That should be a great one.
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:42.559
Um and then we have Notre Dame at BYU.
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:43.759
That's gonna be an amazing game.
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:45.599
It's on ABC at 630.
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:51.920
Uh, and then the last one that I have for you, Doc, is going to be Oklahoma State at Houston.
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.920
Um, that's gonna be a good one too, as well.
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:55.599
So we have we got a lot of good matchups.
00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.160
I know early on we didn't have a lot of great matchups uh going forward.
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:06.000
A lot of blowouts, you know, you got superheads at you know 20, 30, and 40 points and all that.
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:08.880
But now it looks like we got some good matchups this weekend, Doc.
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:09.759
What do you think?
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:14.720
I think Notre Dame at BYU is interesting, because BYU in Provo is no joke.
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:22.400
I think Notre Dame's test after this game is minimal at best, but they have to win and keep stay undefeated, beating BYU.
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.880
I really don't know what BYU have, but that that Karmer is a bitch.
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:39.839
When you have a big game like this at night in Notre Dame, I mean in big Provo, Utah, that could be a tricky spot for um uh Freeman, Coach Freeman's uh situation, uh team there.
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:43.519
Uh Oklahoma State at Houston, that kind of is a big thing, man.
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:50.799
And you you know, you never know what you're gonna get out of Houston, but I could see Houston winning that thing, you know.
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.119
Um but it's interesting.
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:57.839
Before we go more into the interfield, I gotta say this about the Alabama-Georgia game.
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:01.599
Third string running back, you know, uh, we call him Peanut.
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:02.799
His name is Phillips.
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:04.079
He's a world-class sprinter.
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:06.880
He ran for 120 yards on 19 totes.
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:13.359
And it's one of those things where the referees, and everybody knows, that made a bad call and a pass interference late.
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:20.240
And uh, you know, they have to, I don't know if they suspended the cat, but Georgia escaped with that bad call.
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:34.160
But we made plays, Gunnar Stockton made plays, Marlon, on third and six early to the freshman dangerous, and then he made plays late to secure the victory when he hit the 6'7 tight end, Elias Williams.
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:45.359
Now you can argue that they're Alabama's kid lost his head, hitting Georgia's receiver and punching him and knocking to the ground and secured the victory for automatic first down, flagrant foul.
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:52.319
But those two penalty calls or lack thereof, especially the interception, that should have been an interception early in the third on Gunner.
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.079
You know, you rarely get a home call like that, let alone two.
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.279
So Georgia's gonna take that and we'll clean some things up.
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:04.480
But that's a big topic in college football about refereeing in that particular game.
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:05.119
Go ahead.
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:06.960
I got a question for you, Doc, about Gunner.
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.759
So Gunnar's Gunner's 22, he's a senior.
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:15.519
Um, obviously he's not uh he doesn't have the last name of the Manning.
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.400
Um, but what do you see Gunner next year?
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:19.599
What do you see him?
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:21.519
You you know him in and out.
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:23.359
You're a draft guy.
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:28.799
So what do you see him uh next year when it comes to the draft and it comes time for him to go to a team?
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:33.279
Do you think he'll go in and be a first-round starter, back up for a couple years?
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:34.960
What do you think about Gunner?
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.440
I think he's a backup perennially.
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.279
Remember, this is of the league.
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:40.640
His arm is strong enough.
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:48.240
He can throw the football airwise, 60 yards, but he doesn't have the cannon that Dante Moore or some of these other cats Manning has.
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.079
If you're asking for a pure winner, he's like a Stetson Bennett type.
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.759
He'll be in the league for four or five years.
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:57.759
Bennett's in his fourth year for the Brams, won two nannies at Georgia.
00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:59.759
Not saying Georgia's gonna win the natty.
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:04.559
I like the chances, but Gunnar Stockton to answer your question, he'll be a fourth or fifth-round pick.
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:08.559
He's 6'1, which is not, you know, really tall.
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:11.119
But if you're 6'1, you better have a candid.
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.240
He doesn't have that.
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:13.759
The instincts, the toughness.
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:18.400
You're not gonna be running over NFL defenses and running through them like you do in college.
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:25.759
He beat Tennessee last year on the road with some critical runs, you know, had some old miss regular season last year, had a touchdown run.
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:28.880
Last week against Alabama, he ran through some people.
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:31.279
So, no, you're not gonna do that in the league.
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:35.839
He's 215, you know, that's pretty big, but you're a quarterback.
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.960
Um, the arm is is you can throw the out panic, but I wouldn't say he's a first rounder.
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:42.799
He'll be a fourth or fifth rounder.
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:43.839
You can quote me on that.
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:50.960
It'd be on somebody's roster just because of Kirby Smart's pool for the league and what he's doing in a major competition.
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:53.599
Speak Texas three times in two years.
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:56.559
He's a two time SEC champion at quarterback.
00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:59.599
Might say two and a half 'cause gonna um, you know.
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:04.720
The receiver, the pre I mean the quarterback previously got knocked out against Texas three years ago.
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:09.279
Donnie came in and cleaned up Texas and then he beat Texas twice last year.
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:11.119
And he just beat Alabama in the road.
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:16.240
So you're talking about a winner with instincts, he'll be a backup, career backup, and I'm fine with that.
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:17.119
I'm okay.
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:20.160
You know, he's beat Arch twice.
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:24.480
You know, he beat Trinidad Camlis once, but he lost in the CNP.
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:29.839
Some of the great quarterbacks that is predicted to go high, done it as beat.
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:36.480
You know, and uh road games at Tennessee, at Auburn, you know, at Alabama.
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:41.759
So it might be our Bobby Bias, he won't be late, like uh Purdy out in San Francisco.
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:44.160
I'll give him fourth, fifth at the very latest.
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:44.960
But go ahead.
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:46.480
Okay, okay, all right.
00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:48.480
So excuse me.
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:51.440
Jumping over to the um NFL.
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:56.559
So all right, so we have a lot to to dive into as far as with the NFL.
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.000
Uh we will do our recap as we do every week.
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.799
Uh the uh no, that is not right.
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:03.680
Is that it right?
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:05.359
Uh hold on one second.
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:06.559
I'm on the wrong week.
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:06.960
Okay.
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:07.680
All right.
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:11.599
Uh the that's not that is right.
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:12.240
Okay, all right.
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:14.400
Sorry, my my website wasn't loading.
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:16.640
Okay, so we have the uh Thursday night football.
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:18.160
We have Eagles and the Giants.
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.759
Uh Giants ended up taking no, that's 2025.
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:22.559
Hold on.
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:24.319
Oh man, hold on.
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.200
I need to edit that.
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:27.119
I don't know what's going on with my website.
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:29.759
That was that was weird.
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:31.200
That was that's fine.
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:32.559
I said Eagles and the Giants.
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:33.599
I said, oh, that's not right.
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:36.000
This is this is real, this is show you guys.
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:36.960
We do this thing live.
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:39.039
We don't we don't edit, we don't do none of that stuff.
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:39.680
So, okay.
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:40.720
All right, there it is.
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:44.799
Okay, Tampa Bay, um Tampa, no, is that right?
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:45.519
And Dallas.
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:47.599
They played Dallas, they beat Dallas on Thursday.
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:48.799
They did, they did, okay.
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:51.039
All right, so Tampa Bay and Dallas, Dallas took care of business.
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:54.079
Dallas was horrible in that one in the London game.
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:55.759
Uh Jalen Hurts.
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:59.039
Uh, he looked like he wanted to take them to a victory.
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:01.039
Uh, but Jacksonville won that one.
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:03.680
It was a very ugly game, 19-17.
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:08.319
Um Cincinnati beat um uh Miami.
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:12.319
Uh that was an uneventful game in that one.
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.160
Uh Doc, your wife's Raiders.
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:16.559
Oh boy, it seems like they're coming back to life.
00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:19.119
New England won 45-17.
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:23.920
Um, Minnesota, Justin Jefferson is back home uh in New Orleans.
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:25.039
They took care of business.
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.200
Chris Olave, where's he been at?
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:30.000
Uh Minnesota wins 23-13.
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.519
Um Cleveland, you don't know what team you're getting with Cleveland.
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:35.599
Their defense could be great, their offense could be great.
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:37.119
You don't know what you're getting with Cleveland.
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.359
Uh Cleveland loses to the New York Football Jets 17-12.
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.519
Uh Aaron Rodgers of the Pittsburgh Steelers, he actually looks great.
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:47.920
Um, they won and they beat Indy.
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:49.200
I don't know what to think of Indy.
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:52.000
I don't know if anybody knows what to think of Indianapolis.
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.799
They lose uh 34 to 22 to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:04.079
Uh two battles of two 0-4 teams of the Houston Texans and the Tennessee Titans.
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:06.160
Uh, Houston wins 26-3.
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:08.799
They get their first win as a Chargers fan.
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:09.920
I'm very jealous.
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.720
Uh, but they finally look like they they know what they're doing.
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:17.279
And they did trade in the within the first quarter, I believe, for Marvin Harrison Jr.
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:19.920
So he is now a Houston Texan.
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:26.400
Uh the uh New York Football Giants and the Washington Commanders, nobody wanted to win that game.
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:32.480
Uh, so that one it looks like that they had Washington, they got some coaching issues on that one.
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:36.720
So they ended in a tie 27-27, Green Bay and Chicago.
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.039
You still have no Caleb Williams.
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:42.000
Um, but they ended up winning the Green Bay Packers.
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:43.440
That is 31-7.
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:46.720
Um, my Chargers, we don't want to win.
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:48.160
We don't know how to win football games.
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:49.359
We don't want to win anyway.
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:50.960
So we lose to Denver.
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:56.319
Justin Herbert throws a meatball sub to the Denver uh cornerback.
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:58.240
So Denver takes care of that one.
00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:01.200
Uh Detroit beats Arizona, no problem.
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:07.359
The game that I thought was probably one of the best games that we had this weekend.
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.240
Uh San Francisco uh at Seattle.
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:12.319
San Francisco takes care of business and they win.
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:13.839
Brock Purdy looks amazing.
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.400
Uh, doc, you're in, excuse me for miss miss uh speaking on this one.
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:23.759
I th uh you you paid you played the Saints last week.
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:25.359
You guys took care of business then.
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:30.559
And then in primetime, you guys do lose to Tyler Huntley uh and the Baltimore Ravens.
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:31.920
So excuse me for that one.
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:41.519
Uh that was Sunday night football and Monday night football, uh, the game that I thought was one of the better games of the weekend, the Niners and the Seahawks.
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:49.680
Uh that is washed out the window because we have in overtime, we have Buffalo and the Rams in LA, Monday Night Football.
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:53.599
That by far was one of the best games uh I think that we've seen.
00:26:53.680 --> 00:27:00.240
And Josh Allen finally is able to get it done in overtime uh to beat the Los Angeles Rams.
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:02.640
So, Doc, there was a ton of we Oh yeah.
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:04.240
It was a ton of ton of great games.
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:05.119
The floor is yours.
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:08.000
I don't know where you want to start, uh, but we can go ahead and dive in.
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:09.519
Floor is yours, my friend.
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:15.599
Okay, well, I'm gonna start with the bone-headed plays led by Jalen Daniels, a tremendous athlete in the league.
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:25.119
You have no timeouts, you're trying to get your kicker to win, and you go around there like you have all kinds of time and slide around and riffing around, and your time runs out on you, man.
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:26.240
What the hell was that about?
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:29.440
And I I I credit Dan Quinn for not blowing the kid up.
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:32.640
He's a coach and said it was his decision, it was his mistake.
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:39.200
But Jalen Daniels, he played a big game, played the NFC Championship game, you know, you play the LSU and big SEC games.
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:40.480
You got to know the time.
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:41.440
You're the quarterback.
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:45.279
What the hell are you doing running around and wasting time?
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.079
Uh, you know, you could have beat the Giants, you know.
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:49.359
So the Giants are happy.
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:51.279
You know, they were down 14.
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:52.079
That's another thing.
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:59.279
You blew a 14-point lead to your division rival, and now you're running around here like you got all kinds of time with no timeouts.
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:00.720
That's a bone-headed play.
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.960
Again, I gave Coach Quinn credit for not blowing up the kid, but that's number one.
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:07.279
Number two, Siriani and Philly.
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:09.119
You know, I was trying to give him benefit of the doubt.
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:10.960
You've been to two goals, one-one.
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:16.240
Uh the Jalen Hurst has been under enormous pressure, you know, uh, in that city.
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:18.720
He brings it in and marches them down.
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.319
They take a lead with eight seconds left, and you figure it's safe.
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:24.559
The Eagle players are selling at eight seconds.
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:25.759
And what do they do?
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:37.440
Sirianni or the special teams coach, whoever it is, kicks a deep, the kid runs it back uh for Jacksonville, and then and then all of a sudden he did the field goal to win the game.
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:42.240
That's a devastating loss to Philly that I don't even know if they can uh come back from.
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:44.319
You know, Sirianni, he's the head coach.
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:50.160
I know the special team coach, and you gotta make plays, the players have to make plays, but you let them run back.
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:53.839
You let them run back to the and then they kick the field goal to win.
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:56.000
Um there's a lot of things that stick to that.
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.000
You mentioned the 49ers on the road and Seattle's defense, Purdy.
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:04.960
And this is his 49er team has several issues and injuries to key players.
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:07.759
Coach got into a severe accident.
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:12.720
Uh uh it wasn't a hit and run, it was uh uh he hit somebody from the back reaching for a cell phone.
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:18.319
I mentioned the injuries, a receiver to pierce all uh and some other cats.
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:19.519
Bosa's been in there.
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:25.680
Here they are five and oh, you know, the three up on the Rams, you know, and that's another uh situation.
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:28.480
How the Rams lost at home to Buffalo.
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:36.880
Yeah, on, you know, that that's one of those things where at home you people pick you for the Super Bowl, you know, everybody has injured.
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:38.240
I don't want to hear about Miles Garrett.
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:40.960
Donald was back healthy, had made a couple of plays.
00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:44.480
But Stafford, you can't lose that game at home, man.
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.039
You know, that's three right there that stick out.
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:49.920
Then you mentioned some of the winless teams like the Chargers.
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:55.359
I I on the outside look again, I'm feel sorry for you, but Harbaugh has to take credit for this.
00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:58.799
And your quarterback, the$300 million man, that's shocking.
00:29:58.960 --> 00:29:59.519
0-5.
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:00.079
Uh-oh.
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:21.119
You know, I'm gonna hop in right now because I I love what you said was I don't want to hear about injuries because every team is dealing with injuries, whether it's in the trenches, receivers, uh, you know, even quarterbacks, uh unfortunately, between your uh your Ravens going up against Tyler Huntley, everybody's dealing with injuries.
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:26.160
So even though we have four rookie offensive linemen, nobody cares.
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:29.440
If we're lad McConkey's not playing, nobody cares.
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:31.519
Quentin Johnson's not playing, nobody cares.
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:33.359
Derwin James is out, nobody cares.
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:39.759
So uh it's it's it it is what it is with as far as with the injuries, you gotta play you gotta find a way to win.
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:48.880
You got you got certain players that are playing, uh, especially with our quarterback, that that it's you you can't sit there and throw the ball to the other team.
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:52.559
You know, no nobody cares about nobody cares about the injuries, Doc.
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:57.759
So I I just want to just interrupt you there and just say, you know, hey, uh we I'm I'm dealing with it.
00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:58.480
It is what it is.
00:30:58.559 --> 00:30:59.440
We are 0-5.
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:08.079
Uh I'm not saying we're about to go 12-5 to end the season, but at some point, you got to find a way to win a game.
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:17.519
You know, you can't I again I like I said last week, I can point the blame at McDaniels, Harbaugh, Herbert, uh, the defense.
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:19.920
Uh I I can point the finger at everybody.
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:25.680
You know, we we had four offensive linemen starting the last Sunday that were rookies.
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:28.160
I mean, it's it is what it is.
00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:30.240
Our defense killed us in that game.
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:31.519
The offense blew it.
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:37.519
Harbaugh decided to go for it on our 40-yard line in the fourth quarter.
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:43.359
So at the end of the day, if you if you are playing with injuries, coaching matters.
00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:45.039
So go ahead, Doc.
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:47.359
Yeah, yeah, that's a very good point.
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:48.960
It's been a weird weekend, man.
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:54.799
Uh, I can mention my Falcons, you know, Penny's went out and tour did what tour does, throw interception.
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:58.640
But how the hell do you lose an eight-point lead with a minute and ten seconds left?
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:03.759
You let them go right down the field with a backup quarterback, you know, and then Hunley.
00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:05.440
And Hunley performed well on the road.
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:14.559
You know about Derrick Henry being a tank, but they scored, and you let them get the two-point conversion, which percentage-wise is not very good in the league.
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:17.440
You know, had they missed that two-point figure, we would have won the game.
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:19.119
You know, you wouldn't have gone to overtime.
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:29.599
But it's been a weird week, and I'm gonna start off with last Thursday as you reference Dallas losing to a winless Tampa Bay Bucks team, you know, behind a rookie quarterback of Kansas.
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:34.160
You know, I don't even know if he was drafted, was a free agent, but maybe a seventh rounder.
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:44.640
But he went on the road in Dallas and Dax home and won that game and gave Tampa Bay their first win, you know, a myriad of turnovers for the Cowboys.
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:47.279
So you knew it was going to be somewhat of a weird weekend.
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:52.000
And I'll comp it out with this before we go on to this week's game.
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.839
Drake May, who's been under enormous pressure in New England.
00:32:56.000 --> 00:33:06.480
I know he beat Buffalo, but you didn't expect 374 yards and four touchdowns looking like Namath or Montana against a rejuvenated Raider defense.
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:07.519
What the hell happened?
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:08.720
They put a 45.
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:09.680
Not at all.
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:14.000
And granted, Drake May pretty much erased all that doubt.
00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:17.839
God played in the Super Bowl, but he started off really poor.
00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:21.440
So though those things really stick out from last week, man.
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:23.839
And uh I had to bring Drake May up.
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:24.880
Gosh darn it, man.
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:25.279
Of course.
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:33.680
But the bone-headed players by Jaden Daniels, the Washington quarterback, and Sirianna, the coach Philly, lead my ire this week.
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:34.079
Go ahead.
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:34.720
Of course.
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:35.440
Okay, so all right.
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:38.160
So jumping into it next week, we're gonna dive right into it.
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:42.960
I will go in and and look at every game as far as what I will do, Doc.
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:45.440
You can go ahead and look at uh some games.
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:50.799
You can highlight some games, if you will, uh of games that you want to you're looking forward to.
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:52.880
Or actually, no, I got a better one.
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:53.599
I got a better one.
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:54.240
Scratch that.
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:55.599
I'm I'm doing this on the fly.
00:33:55.759 --> 00:34:00.799
We're gonna do a this or that, and which is which means doc, you pick the winner.
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:04.400
We're gonna go through all 13 games, and it's gonna be real quick.
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:05.920
I don't need an explanation.
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:11.519
Doc, you pick the winner, and we can dive into whatever we want to after, but you pick the winner.
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:12.000
Okay.
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:18.480
All right, so uh the last team that I'm going to say that's going to be where the game's gonna be played at.
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:20.320
So uh this or that version.
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.639
Uh I love I love doing stuff on the fly, by the way.
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:24.079
So okay, let's do it.
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:24.719
Here we go.
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:26.880
Um, Seahawks, Broncos.
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:27.840
Who you got?
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:30.079
I'm taking the Seahawks, man.
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:33.519
I'm taking the Seahawks to bounce back.
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:34.000
Go ahead.
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:36.480
Okay, Texans uh at Jags.
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:39.360
Taking the Jaguars, man.
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:41.760
You know, they can score and they play defense.
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:42.480
Go ahead.
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:43.039
Okay.
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:48.400
Uh we have the uh do do the Eagles uh at the Panthers.
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:50.639
I'm taking the Panthers, man.
00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:52.239
Eagles in disarray.
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:53.119
Go ahead.
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:54.400
Okay, all right.
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:56.559
Uh yeah, I I agree with you there.
00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:58.960
Um that that's that's that's gonna be a tough one.
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:04.079
Um the uh do Ravens or Browns?
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:06.639
Oh man, Ravens by far.
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:09.679
They got that number 92 back, and he's a starter.
00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:11.519
He blew up everything for Atlanta.
00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:14.639
I thought I and and LJ might start.
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:16.239
Uh come back to Lamar.
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:17.599
I'm taking the Ravens, man.
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:18.159
You know?
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:18.800
Let's go.
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:20.239
Okay, this is the London game.
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:22.960
We have Texans, the Jags are staying in Jacksonville.
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:25.039
So Texans at Jacksonville.
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:27.119
Well, in London, obviously.
00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:32.000
Yeah, I'm I'm I'm I'm taking, like I said, I'm taking uh Jacksonville in that one, man.
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:38.559
I I love Will Anderson Jr., but CJ Stroud has to keep up with Sunshine, Trevor Lawrence, and I don't think he can.
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:39.119
Okay.
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:39.599
Yeah.
00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:43.519
All right, the Bears, Caleb Williams will be playing at your Falcons, Doc.
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:44.559
Who you got on that one?
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:45.760
Yeah, it's a big one.
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:48.880
Uh this is uh this is a game of quarterbacks.
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:49.920
Caleb is playing.
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:51.280
We don't know about Pennyx.
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:52.480
I'm gonna pick the Bears, man.
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:53.599
I hate to go against some Falcon.
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:59.840
I go with Bears because Caleb's coming back and they got skilled people to help out uh, you know, Caleb Williams.
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:01.679
Okay, you know, all right, I know let's go.
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:04.639
I know Champ in New Mexico is listening, so yes, we will.
00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:05.760
Oh Jesus, whatever.
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:09.519
I know champ is listening, so so yeah, we will we'll definitely get him on.
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:10.800
We'll we'll dive into everything.
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:15.039
So okay, uh uh game nobody cares about the Titans at the Colts.
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:19.840
I'm taking the Colts just because of the all-star, all-pro running back.
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:21.039
I gotta go with him.
00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:24.800
Uh Daniel Jones does nothing for me.
00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:31.360
But the Colts have shown they have players on defense led by Latou and that linebacker out of Georgia, CJ Allen.
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:34.800
But I'm taking the all-pro running back uh for the Colts.
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:35.840
I'm taking the Colts.
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:36.960
I agree with you there.
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:42.639
Okay, so uh New York Jets, uh, they are two and three at the Patriots that are three and two.
00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:44.880
Oh, Patriots easily.
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:45.360
Easily.
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:46.000
I agree.
00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:48.079
I talked about Drake May going off last week.
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:51.199
I know Jets have a better defense, but it's in New England.
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:53.039
I'm taking uh Drake May again.
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:55.360
Now this is a side thing I'm doing.
00:36:55.599 --> 00:36:56.960
The spread is seven and a half.
00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:59.199
You're gonna you're gonna lay the seven and a half with the Patriots?
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:03.920
Yes, I am because Geno Smith does nothing for me in the Northeast and Boston.
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:05.039
You know, nothing.
00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:09.440
You know, so uh I'm I'm taking the Patriots to cover easily.
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:09.920
Okay.
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:10.239
Yeah.
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:13.760
All right, we got the Saints at the uh New York Football Giants.
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:15.599
Spreads uh one and a half on that one.
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:16.320
Who you got?
00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:19.039
I'm taking the Giants at home, man.
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:24.559
That game last week showed me that, you know, uh Jameis Winston has some Moxie.
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:32.400
He'll throw he'll give it to you, but can the Saints capitalize against that revamped Giants defense led by RVL Reese and all that?
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:33.760
So I'm taking the Giants.
00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:34.239
Oh, okay.
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:34.559
All right.
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:36.719
And remember, Scatterboo is a tank.
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:39.119
The Saints haven't proven to stop the run.
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:39.840
Getting B.
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:43.679
John and who they played last week in uh Minnesota.
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:47.199
So Scatterboo, he's like a young John Regan.
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:48.239
So I'm taking the Giants.
00:37:48.320 --> 00:37:48.559
Go ahead.
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:56.079
A lot of people, and and I don't on this podcast, a lot of people picked the the Saints to win the division.
00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:57.760
I did not believe the hype.
00:37:57.920 --> 00:37:59.760
They are one and four right now.
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:03.199
Uh the the Buccaneers are one and four too as well.
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:05.760
I believe the Falcons are what, two and three?
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:06.880
Two and three, yeah.
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:07.280
Yeah.
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:15.760
The NFC South is not looking great, um, but they they they're not too far behind if they want to try to win this division.
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:21.840
So um, but I I do not believe in the the New Orleans Saints uh to win this division.
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:23.519
So we will see what happens with that.
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:28.079
Um the the Red Hot Pittsburgh Steelers at 3-2.
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:35.199
Uh they are they're 0-2 away, and they're playing at the Bucks without Baker Mayfield spread.
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:36.639
Pittsburgh laying two and a half.
00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:37.519
What you got, Doc?
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.559
Well, I'm laying the two and a half with the Steelers, man.
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:43.599
You know, I I got to Aaron Rodgers going down there.
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:49.440
Now, Daniel's the kid one on the rolling Dallas, but now you got tape on him, and McCarthy's not stupid.
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:57.119
You know, he's gonna go down there and they're gonna get a victory against a rookie quarterback, who's probably smelling himself right now.
00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:00.559
So I'm taking the Steelers and Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf.
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:04.159
And Warren, Warren's an underrated running back in this league, man.
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:08.639
He put up some big-time Heisman numbers, all pro numbers last week.
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:12.159
So the kid uh Warren, the running back, 30.
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:13.599
Yeah, I'm taking the Steelers.
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:18.480
All right, and then the Cardinals, they that one win was against my freaking Chargers.
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:24.320
Um, but uh they are at the Rams, two and three Rams, that's which is crazy.
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:27.519
Spread is 12 and a half, Doc.
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:30.320
The Rams are laying 12 and a half.
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:31.599
What do you got on this one?
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:33.840
That's a lot of points, man.
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:38.480
You know, uh, but by the same token, it is in LA, and the Rams are pissed off.
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:49.039
And if I know McVay and Puka, Nakuri, and Stafford and those cats, and Williams, and Koram, I think they're gonna, that's a blowout.
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:53.039
They're gonna beat, they're not, they're gonna show their real wares against Arizona.
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:54.719
They traded Harrison.
00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:56.079
So who's the weapons now?
00:39:56.159 --> 00:39:58.639
Other than the tight end, they got in Arizona.
00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:02.000
He's good, he's on pro, but I'm taking a Rams to cover.
00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:04.880
Okay, all right, Doc.
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:06.800
So this is this is a tough one.
00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:07.920
It's close to home.
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:09.519
It's very, very close to home.
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:12.000
So my charges, my 0-5 charges.
00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:16.880
We are 0-2 on the road, and we're gonna go to Kansas City.
00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:18.159
They are 4-0.
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:20.079
They're 2-0 at home.
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.559
Spread is 8.5 in this one.
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:23.760
Talk to me, doc.
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:29.039
I don't think that Kansas City is gonna cover that spread.
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:34.960
The desperate teams are going to uh show up big, but Kansas City's coming off a bye week.
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:39.599
It's gonna be a tall cask at Arrowhead Stadium to do that and win.
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:41.440
But I'll take the points.
00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:44.239
Charges plus to eight and a half, if you will.
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:45.679
I think they're gonna win.
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:47.920
Now, Kansas City is rested, you know.
00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:50.480
Maybe they blow you out, but I I doubt it, man.
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:51.280
I doubt it.
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:56.159
There has to be some cell level of pride eventually from that quarterback and skill people.
00:40:56.480 --> 00:41:01.519
And uh, you know, you'll go in six, but you'll keep it respectful.
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:06.239
I think 31 uh 26 is more applicable here.
00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:06.880
Yeah, okay.
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:07.840
So so we lose.
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:10.880
They lost receivers in Kansas City, so bear that in mind.
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:12.079
They got two guys out.
00:41:12.159 --> 00:41:12.320
Okay.
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:14.320
Rice and the kid that broke his ankle.
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:22.480
Uh, but but if you can put a linebacker on the tight end, Kelsey, you got a shot, but you gotta stop Kenneth Walker, the third.
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:23.119
Oh, yeah.
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:23.440
Yeah.
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:26.400
Oh, he'll have three pick you can't.
00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:28.639
He'll have 300 yards, so that's all good.
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:29.119
Okay.
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:32.239
Um, your wife's Raiders, they are at a home.
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:35.760
The Buffalo Bills, from what I heard, they are staying on the West Coast.
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:39.440
Uh, and they are going to Vegas.
00:41:39.679 --> 00:41:44.400
The four-and-one Bills, the three and two Raiders, uh, and the spread in this one.
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:47.440
Buffalo is laying five and a half in this one.
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:50.079
Uh, for one, how's your wife feeling about this one?
00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:51.119
And how are you feeling about this?
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:59.199
Yeah, but that they're expecting the words because they saw Josh Allen put on Superman cape again, and you got to figure he's gonna do it against that Raider defense.
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:02.639
He just gave up a ton of points to New England in New England.
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:07.920
You figure that uh, you know, the kid, the kid Moore is gonna come back.
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:09.519
I heard the receiver.
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:11.519
But Josh Allen is Josh Allen.
00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:12.880
I don't care where it is.
00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:16.239
Uh Cook, I don't think Cook's gonna fumble twice.
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:21.519
And I think they're gonna they're gonna cover the five and a half, six, whatever it is, you know, just because.
00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:24.320
And they even talk about playing the rookie quarterback.
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:30.000
And your boy, Captain Kirk, is having an outstanding year at quarterback for them, you know?
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:32.400
And they're already talking about putting the kid in.
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:36.400
So I don't know what's going on there, and but I'm taking Buffalo to cover.
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:37.840
Absolutely.
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:51.840
So the Cowboys, the the mess of uh whatever they've been doing for the past uh couple weeks, the Cowboys, they are two and three, and they're going to the Packers, who started off rough and now they're actually looking pretty decent uh with Jordan Love and Cruz.
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:58.559
So uh the Packers are laying uh a point and a half, so it's basically a pick'em essentially uh on this one.
00:42:58.880 --> 00:42:59.840
So who do you got next week?
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:01.920
I'm taking I'm I'm taking the Packers.
00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:03.199
I believe in love.
00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:05.119
Last week was not a mistake.
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:06.800
That number nine, Watson.
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:11.519
If he can stay healthy, which yeah, he scored two or three touchdowns last week, some of them deep.
00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:13.760
You know, love there's the cannon.
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:19.679
And I as much as I want to say Dallas, no, I just don't trust Dak Prescott, you know.
00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:23.360
Yeah, their defense is supposed to be improved and they're screwing up, you know?
00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:27.920
And uh I I think uh Parson was supposed to come back, but I don't think it matters.
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:31.119
I think uh the Packers at home are gonna win this game.
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:35.679
And Alan LaFleur has done some uh messed up stuff, BS stuff.
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:37.760
He's been a buffoon at times early.
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:42.719
I think the Packers got enough at Lambeau in a Sunday night matchup in the cover.
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:43.039
Yeah.
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:47.519
All right, and then Monday night football, uh, this this should be fairly easy.
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:53.119
Forty Niners are laying seven and a half, uh, and the Washington uh commanders are coming in town.
00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:55.360
So uh who do you got in this one?
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:56.719
Yeah, the Niners.
00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:57.519
The Niners.
00:43:57.599 --> 00:43:59.760
They'll be six and all, and they might not even be close.
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:04.079
You know, devastating loss last week because of some PS.
00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:05.840
They might not recover.
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:08.320
You know, Dan Quinn is who he is.
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:14.719
Uh Jaden Gang expected more from him, but I think the 49ers are proving to be too much.
00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:21.599
It just came off the road and beat Seattle, the defending Super Bowl chaps at home against Washington, a cross-country trip.
00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:24.320
I'm taking Purdy and CMC.
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:26.079
You remember the rookie Black?
00:44:26.159 --> 00:44:28.719
His name is Black from Indiana, a rookie.
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.599
He's backing up CMC pretty good at running back.
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:33.519
So yeah, nine as easily.
00:44:33.760 --> 00:44:34.400
Okay, okay.
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:34.719
Yeah.
00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:46.079
So next week, uh, we are definitely looking forward to, of course, uh college football, what's gonna happen in the MLB playoffs, and uh the week in NFL football.
00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:52.079
But we definitely will have a nice preview for you guys uh for the NFL season.
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:53.760
So we would definitely dive into that.
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:55.360
You mean the NBA season?
00:44:55.440 --> 00:44:55.599
Yeah.
00:44:56.079 --> 00:44:58.079
NBA, so excuse me, MBA, MBA, yeah.
00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:10.480
So we'll definitely dive into that because there's a lot of different storylines all the way from the east, the east being stacked from you know, LeBron, Giannis, and you know what uh what Boston's gonna do.
00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:11.360
You got New York.
00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:14.880
There's so many different storylines just from the east itself.
00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:18.079
Yeah, uh, and then of course we could break down the west as well.
00:45:18.159 --> 00:45:20.320
So we would dive into all of that next week.
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:27.119
This season kicks off, I believe, on Tuesday, uh, when we will uh kick off our episode next week.
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:29.840
So yeah, we will we will dive into all of that.
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:31.840
So yeah, the doc that that's all I got, man.
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:33.199
You got anything else for us?
00:45:33.519 --> 00:45:39.519
Yeah, the Atlanta Dream versus the Valkyries and WBA actually started Saturday in San Francisco.
00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:40.960
I'm doing my dream.
00:45:41.119 --> 00:45:42.639
You know, I love Angel Reese.
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:47.599
I know the other guard, uh, the kid, uh I forget her name, but she has a finger.
00:45:48.159 --> 00:45:52.000
Yeah, she has a finger, but I think she's gonna play, they're gonna take that thing up.
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:53.920
Atlanta Dream has never been this far.
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:56.960
And the Valkyries are the number one defense in that league.
00:45:57.280 --> 00:45:58.800
So you can't name one player.
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:04.320
They play team defense, but I'm taking Angel Reese, who's gonna continue this magical run.
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:08.719
And much like she did at LSU to win the natty, I think the dream are gonna win it all.
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:18.079
And it's not because I'm from Atlanta, but I I think, you know, Pow Powell and some of the other kid girls they have on that team, you know, that they're gonna do the business, you know.
00:46:18.239 --> 00:46:19.760
So we'll take it from there.
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:20.559
I gotta get some off.
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:21.920
The only need is a split.
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:22.320
Go ahead.
00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:23.920
I gotta get some off my chest, Doc.
00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:27.039
And I don't know if you know about the story, but I gotta I gotta get this off my chest.
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:57.599
So I don't know how the city of Atlanta is not able to open the doors of the State Farm Arena now that they found a way to do it, but prior to a couple days ago, Atlanta Dream didn't have a place to play their home games because the State Farm Arena did not want to open their doors to allow them to play because of a concert or two or uh or the the Atlanta Hawks uh in their opening games.
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:00.239
So it's it's it's ridiculous.
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:07.679
It's you you got 3,500 people that can go to where the Atlanta Dream play their home games, which is a joke.
00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:10.719
Uh that's the same thing that's out here with the Dallas Wings.
00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:13.519
There's there's no place to sit.
00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:20.559
It's it's it's it's uh it's it's I'm trying to think of the words to say it's it's out of this world, it's a disgrace.
00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:21.360
It's a disgrace.
00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:22.800
It's an absolute disgrace.
00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:41.519
It's out of this world crazy, but just to know that they are at in the final and you guys are not willing to open your doors to say, hey, you guys, the Atlanta Dreams can play here where the Atlanta Hawks play at the State Farm Arena, it's it's it's uh I'm trying not to cuss on here, but it's ridiculous, Doc.
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:52.480
Yeah, well, it does just go to show that the WNBA is not on a level that some people would like, or some people in power, or uh sitting behind tables.
00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:59.199
But you're right, this is the finals, and um, two major cities like Dallas and Atlanta ought to be disgusting, it's disgraceful.
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:00.239
Uh it's hoofs.
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:01.519
These girls are balling out.
00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:11.840
I believe late that the Staples State Farm Arena did open it, they moved the game back or forward, I forget what it was, but they'll be playing the state uh State Farm Arena.
00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:26.639
But the fact that it occurred, you know, when you found out that they were gonna be in the finals and they had to go through all kinds of mental issues and angles on why we can't play 3,500 people, that's high school, you know, and and this is the finals.
00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:31.679
And uh, I didn't know that thing was going on in Dallas, too, with Paige Beckers and all that.
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:36.719
That's embarrassing for this particular league who's been very entertaining with superstar players, man.
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:37.519
You know?
00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:46.239
So uh yeah, it's it's it's about time, you know, and and uh it's just that they said that they had to go through that.
00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:49.119
So I'm glad you got it off your chest relative to that, man.
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:49.760
You know?
00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:52.320
And only in the South.
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:57.280
Because out here, they play in the chase center and Valkyrie's, you know, and and and all that.
00:48:57.519 --> 00:49:14.000
And uh, so yeah, you know, there is some anguish on where WNBA fan or fans and and then they've sold out, you know, in several arenas across that league, and still there's that mindset that this is just women, and that's wrong.
00:49:14.239 --> 00:49:14.800
But go ahead.
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:25.519
Yeah, and you got and you guys took care of business against my uh my New York Liberty, and it was it was it was sad, it was embarrassing, but uh, you know, yeah, it it is what it is.
00:49:25.599 --> 00:49:28.000
You you guys, you know, hats off to you guys.
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:32.400
You guys took care of uh everything that you got and a sweep at that too, doc.
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:38.320
So um I I definitely didn't see it being a sweep, but you know, you got you guys went in.
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:40.159
Canada was was amazing.
00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:42.639
Uh Angel Reese's defense was great.
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:48.559
You didn't have your best player in Alicia Gray, which uh she I believe she hurt her hand, if I'm not mistaken.
00:49:48.639 --> 00:49:50.239
So yeah, that's her, yeah.
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:52.960
Yeah, so it was that that was that was tough.
00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:56.880
But uh, you know, I'm I'm calling right now for Sabrina UNESCO.
00:49:57.119 --> 00:50:02.000
Like she she has to she has to step up, and and if not, like look, this is not your team anymore.
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:03.679
This is Brianna Stewart's team.
00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:07.840
And if you're you you could you're only good for making a couple threes a game.
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:16.239
And if you're not going to contribute, especially on the defensive side, be a leader, figure out a way to win, we don't need you at this point.
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:17.760
So we've made a lot of trades.
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:20.239
I'm not the biggest fan of DeMarco, the coach.
00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:25.360
I would love to get him out of there, get somebody else in there uh that actually knows what they're doing.
00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:33.119
John Queel Jones is 6'5, 6'6, and but she loves to just sit there and shoot threes, get down there in the post because that's where we need you the most.
00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:35.039
Um, but you just want to sit there and shoot threes.
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:45.440
Brianna Stewart is 6'4, but she is kind of like a finesse player, somewhat like Pal Gasol, who's they can play the five, but they are at their best when they play the four.
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:59.440
But when John Quo Jones wants to sit out there and be a three-point shooter all the time, it uh it does not allow us to be the best version of ourselves because Breonna Stewart is sitting there playing the five, which that's not her best position.
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:02.239
So we we got a lot of stuff we got to work on.
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:09.199
Um it's it's it's it's very frustrating as a Liberty fan right now, especially with what we did to the Lynx.
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:16.239
Um sweeping the Lynx, the best team in in the uh in the regular season, we swept them.
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:23.440
So the fact that we ended up going to the next round and getting swept by the dream, not taking nothing, taking nothing against the dream, the dream.
00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:26.159
They came, they played, and they won.
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:31.039
But we should have at least put up a better fight than getting swept.
00:51:31.199 --> 00:51:35.840
Uh you know, two in the two at in Atlanta and then one, of course, at home.
00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:37.440
So uh it was mad.
00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:40.239
And and I'm I'm still disgusted with my team.
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:51.840
We got a lot of stuff we have to do because what's gonna happen is just like with Justin Herbert, we're gonna you're gonna waste some of the great years of Brianna Stewart as you are with Justin Herbert.
00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:53.599
That's a very good point, man.
00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:56.559
That's a great analysis on WNBA, man.
00:51:56.719 --> 00:51:58.400
So that's all I got, brother.
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:05.119
I'm picking a dream, and we could discuss it out next week going into the NBA season in our picks.
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:08.239
But uh, these girls' basketball, they're balling out, man.
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:13.599
I would take a couple of them with me to Venice Beach when I did play and win most of the games.
00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:14.960
You know, these girls are good.
00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:16.400
But that's all I got, brother.
00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:17.119
This is a great show.
00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:17.440
Yeah.
00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:23.199
This girl, Canada, from Jordan Canada is her name from the dream.
00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:25.280
She is amazing.
00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:27.599
She is fast, she's quick.
00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:30.639
Uh, she's I think I believe she's out of UCLA.
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:41.599
Um, she's uh she I want to say she's been in the league for about uh three, four years, but she she was the game changer of the season.
00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:44.320
Jordan Canada is her name.
00:52:44.480 --> 00:52:46.239
So just be on the lookout for her.
00:52:46.320 --> 00:52:58.880
She's quick, she is fast, she's almost kind of like a uh uh like a Russell Westbrook with better shooting, uh, that can run coast to catch a rebound, run coast to coast.
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:01.119
Pop up three.
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:02.559
Like she she's amazing.
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:04.320
So be on the lookout for her.
00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:07.599
I I was that was one person that we cannot stop.
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:11.119
Uh she is uh she's uh she's a point guard.
00:53:11.199 --> 00:53:12.400
Uh she is amazing.
