  Speaker 1: about that early primetime game Bucks and Lions. How much
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: damage does that stink bomb performance do for Bucks quarterback
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's MVP campaign. Also, quarterback Jared Goff knows the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Lions should have blown that game open, implying that they
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: could have played much better. Your thoughts on that? And
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: should the NFL get rid of these code current NFL
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Monday night games, these Monday night games where they stack
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: them and they bleed into each other. We'll talk about that.

• 2:27
  Speaker 1: it and we saved the Monday night. A game, not
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the big game, not the big game, the a game
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: for the a block of our number fall that's right,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: our under fun preview of coming attractions there, so our
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: number four and a big game big I guess relatively speaking,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a big game. The way they've been doing this, there's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: normally one good match up and then one eh eh.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: This is the last of the doubleheaders. More on that
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: in a minute. Not double headers because they're co current,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: concurrent games on Monday Night football. But our lead is
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: from Motown. We did not see the Commodores out on
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the field, but did see double barrel action in the NFL.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And the featured game was in me Chagan where Baker
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Mayfield leading the Buccaneer bandwagon chure into Detroit. There a
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: little wrestling match with Jared Goff and the MotorCity kiddies.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Were you watching this game, We're watching the baseball game.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: This started about an hour before the baseball game. You
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: had the Fox refugees, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. They
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: had the call and you know this was the bigger
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: game because they sent dan Orlofsky to the game in Seattle,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: which went to the Seahawks, and they sent Aikman to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: this game, so you know this game was more important.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Otherwise they would have said Aikman to Seattle, but they
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: didn't do that. So if you didn't see it and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you missed the game. Jamiir Gibbs rumbling and stumbling and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: bumbling a pair of touchdowns. He had a career high
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: two hundred and eighteen yards from scrimmage. Now, I didn't
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: play in the NFL off to check with Ryan Clark,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: but I think that's a good performance. He led the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Lions to a twenty four to nine victory, which also
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I'm told is good over the Buccaneers on Monday Night,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the Lions five and two, and they boomerang back after
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: losing into Cansa City, And so there you go, flawlessly. Well,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: they weren't flawless. There were some mistakes in the first half,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: but they have been very good for the last three years.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: They have the NFL's longest active streak fifty one games
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: without dropping two straight in the regular season. Now, if
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you took someone and put them in they take them
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: from the year I don't know, two thousand and seven,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, or any
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: point before that, and you put them into a trance
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: like state, say in the year two thousand, thousand and seven,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and you then woke them up from their coma in
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty five, and you said the Lions
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: have now gone nearly three years without losing back to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: back game, they would have said, this is a dream.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: This is not real. This is a dream. They don't
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: do that. The Lions lose two or three games every
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: stretch of time anyway, so the lines are five and two.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: They bounce back from the loss. And the better story, though,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room the Buccaneers, the feel
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: good story to begin the NFL season, the scrappy Buccaneers
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and they end up doing what, well, nothing really of
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: note offensively, just a stink bag performance. And before we
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: get into Baker Mayfield's play on the field, Baker had
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: some issues with the Zebras. Apparently he's not a fan
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: of the Zebras, so he was not happy with a
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: couple of things that went the way of the Lions.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: He felt like there was a bit of injustice, if
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you will, against the Buckets. What Rather than me get
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: into it, here's Baker Mayfield explaining his issues with the Buccaneers.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Take a list.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I'm still pretty damn confused about the double review. A
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: lot of things in that game that a little questionable,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: but a lot of frustration at the end of that
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and it might be displaced on the John Hussey in
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the moment, but I work my ass off when I
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: put a lot into this game. So when things that
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I don't seem are deemed fair, I'm going to let
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: somebody know. And that's good, bad, and different.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Okay. We recorded that on a mister microphone from nineteen
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: eighty two and it sounds really good. So let us discuss.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is the jumping off point. He did not
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: play well in this game. So how much damage? Here's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the question, how much damage? As we discussed, does this
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: game do for the NVP campaign of Bucks quarterback Baker Mayfield.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: So on this one, I've got magic carpet ride, I've
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: got thing and mom and Pop diner, and we will
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to make the Gobba gool. We're gonna make the Gobba goool,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: all right? So number wa, I said, number that's right?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: All right? This was a body blow, body blow, body
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: blow to the Baker Mayfield MVP hype train. The train
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: is slowing down right now. Now. If you want to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: be the man, you have to get it done in primetime, right, MVP,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: If you want to be the MVP of the NFL,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you cannot go to Motown and play a sour note.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You can't do it. Can't lay a big fat creamsicle egg,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: which is essentially what Baker Mayfield did here nine stinking points.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: You're not going to win the MVP with this type
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of more if you can dominate Atlanta at one o'clock
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: on Sunday or Carolina at one o'clock on Sunday. Okay, fine,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: but we saw and I'm a Baker Mayfield. I'm now
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: on the Baker bandwagon. Jue Churee, I'm on the bad wagon.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I might have to jump off though. What we saw
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: was a magic carpet ride for the first part of
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the NFL season, and the carpet inside the dome at
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Ford Field actually ripped mid air. That's not good. It's
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: kind of like when the propellers on a helicopter stopped spinning.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: There's only one way to go. Uh yeah, there's no
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: soft landing. So Baker has been living under the narrative
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: he's the ultimate underdog. He's in bra he was the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: number one overall pick, right, top pick. How are you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in the under Jared Goff the same thing. These guys
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: were both the top pick and the draft. They're like, oh,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the underdog. Okay, really, I thought, if you're the top pick,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you're not the underdog. And he has that chip on
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: his shoulder and it works for him. And the cute
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: little story that he's getting it done there and I
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: didn't nobody thought he could do it. And he played
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it two different colleges before it was cool to play
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: at two different colleges and all that. And he went
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: out there and the Lions just bit his kneecaps off
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and it was a flushit kind of performance. Now, when
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I say flushit kind of performance, get out the charman, Grandma,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I gotta flush it down the pipes. That kind of performance.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Twenty eight to fifty passing, which is not great, just
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: two hundred twenty eight yards. He was very similar to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: c J. Stroud, which is not a compliment.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: C J.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Stroud sucks at his job. Baker Mayfield on this night
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: sucked at his job. Four point six yards per attempt.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: He had one touchdown, one interception. There wasn't fumble, and
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I know he recovered it. He recovered it. Fumbles are
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty balls. They're fifty to fifty balls. Listen.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: It was not very MVP like. That's the point of
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: this diatribe. That's the point of this rant. You're not
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: on a glamour team, much to the dismay of my
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: friend TJ. Reeves, who's the sideline reporter for the Tampa Buccaneers,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you are not a glamour team. You're not in Dallas, Okay.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: You're not in Kansas City with Taylor Swift and her
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: fifty fan based supporting Travis Kelsey. You're in Tampa. And
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: when you're in Tampa, in order to win an MVP,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you have to dominate these island games live the Island life.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Didn't do it, didn't. You have to be head and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: shoulders above everyone else. And Baker didn't just fall short
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: of that bar in this game. He dug a hole
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and buried the bar. He had a ceremonial of a bearing,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you know how, like the Dodgers dug up the pitching
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: mound to honor the death of Clayton Kershaw's career as
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a Dodger. Well the in the the opposite here, Baker
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Mayfield dug a hole and buried the bar, the MVP bar.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Now Mayfield's campaign this is it feels like more of
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a speed bump. It's more than that. It's like a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: It's like a thud. That's the sound I heard. I heard.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It was a thud that I heard. Now the voter
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: saw it. I saw it. I was flipping back and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: forth out the MVP train. Now it's not I don't
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: want to be too dramatic. I have a show to
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: do tonight. It is not derailed, like, it's not completely
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: off the tracks the MVP campaign. Let's just say that
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: it's belching some smoke right now. It's farting a little bit.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: That's what trains do. They fart smoke. And the conductors
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: got that little worried look on his face, like I
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: don't know what to do if he's supposed to do,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. What am I gonna do?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what to do all right now?
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Following that game, and we mentioned the bucks and that's
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the better story. But in the winning locker room, the Lions,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: they win the game. But here's the question. Quarterback Jared
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Golf I'm still haunted by his time with the Rams.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Jared Goff knows. He said postgame that the Lions quote
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: should have blown that game open close quote, implying rather
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: obviously that they did not play that well, could have
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: played better. Should have won by more, could have, would have,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: should have. So your thoughts on Jared Goff saying the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Lions should have blown that game open? All right? So
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: my thought, my first thought is like spot the dog,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: this is spot on. Absolutely, he's right, He's dead right.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I agree with Jared Goff on this alliance and listen
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: on the TV or the YouTube show now Benny versus Benny.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I did take I'm not gonna lie. I took it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I went one and one on the night I had Tampa.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I like the scrappy quarterback. I like the team that's
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: trying to overachieve and all that. So I was on
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the wrong side of this game and watching the game
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: in real time, I did think there's no chance. The
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: butcher can have no chance, and yet they had a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: legitimate opportunity in the second half because of the generosity
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: of the Lions. The Lions should have wrapped this thing up.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: They should have had it gift wrapped and done and
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that's it. See you later. They could have put the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: creamsicles on ice. They did not do that. Detroit was
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: up fourteen to three at halftime in this game. It
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: should have been twenty eight to nothing. And I'm not exaggerating.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: It should have been twenty eight to nothing at halftime.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: This wasn't even close on the statue, and the Lions
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: kept FFing up. The Lions at halftime had two hundred
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: seventy five yards of offense. The Buccaneers had fifty eight
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: at the break. That's so bad. How bad is it?
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: That's like a Raider Chiefs game. How lopsided this was
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: at halftime. But yet it was only an eleven point game.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And Tampa they had no pulse on offense, they had
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: no rhythm, they had no nothing, and yet mathematically they
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: were still in the game. And that's the part that
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: should worry you if you are a member of the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Marching and Chid of Society of the Detroit Lions, like
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to be a heavyweight contender for the Championship
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: of Theuero and you're supposed to be the team that
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: steps on people's throats. Didn't see it? You left the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: door open, you did. They led a team with Baker Mayfield,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: who I like wasn't playing well, and a bunch of
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: guys that were together. They had Elmer's glue and they
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: had Scotch tape, and they just kind of threw it
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: all together and they had duct tape and Detroit was
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: out there fiddling around. Despite having all of these yards
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff, they let a team end up
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: sneaking her back into the game. And it's not like
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: they don't have the firepower with Aman Rossy and Brown,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Jamir Gibbs went absolutely bonkers with the two hundred plus yards.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: They got a host of playmakers. You know it. I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: know it. Every man, woman and child that pays attention
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: to the football knows it. And yet still it was
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: anyone's game, any one's game. A lot of yards that
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: were like empty yards because they were between the twenties,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: so there was a lot of that where they were
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: intriculating the ball down the field and then once they
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: got to about the thirty yard line, right around that area,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: there were some issues. And so that's where we are.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: And so with Dan Campbell, he's got the vibe man,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: good vibes. It's just a it's messy and you look
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: around and the Lions are clunky. It's not clean. And
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: that's part of a larger trend that we've noticed around
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Like the Chiefs, you say, well, they're playing
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: really good. Now they played the Raiders. I mean, they
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: did beat the Lions, but the Chiefs didn't look very
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: good early in the year. And now we're in the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: middle part of the year, the middle class of the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: NFL season, they're doing better. The Bills, eh, lost of
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the Falcons. You lost to the loss of the Patriots
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: at home, So that's mat The Eagles have warts, they're
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: signing guys out of the retirement home. Even Kathy and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Madison's like, what are you doing? And now the Lions
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: are in the same bucket. I have them in that
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: same bucket. Talented, but it's complicated, it's messy. It's messy.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: So again, the vibes are but the thing of a jig.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: See that's the thing of a jig, the engine, whatever
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: you want to call it. It's not fully humming at
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: this point, so it's kind of coughing. It's coughing down
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the interstate. So this is this is where you either
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: sharpen things up around this point because a couple of
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: weeks from now will be down on the stretch we come.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: So it's heading into week eight of the NFL season,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: so there's no midway point. Midway point would be week
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: eight and a half. Once we get down to week eleven,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: week twelve, that's when it gets really really good. And
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: so you're either going to sharpen the sword or you're
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: gonna get exposed either one. And so we'll find out
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: our final point to the broadcast world. We go the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: broadcast world. Now we may have seen the very last,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the end of the road for the concurrent Monday night
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: football doubleheaders on a BC and that small cable channel
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: out of Bristol, Connecticut. The reason I bring that up
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the head honcho of NFL Media. How much do you
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: think that guy gets paid? The person that runs NFL
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: media recently acknowledged that the experiment of airing concurrent Monday
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: night football games has quote not delivered yet. What does
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: that mean, Well, let's address it. Let's get into it,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the question should the NFL dump the concurrent Monday night
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: football game? All right? So what this means is they're
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: not getting the large audience they thought they were going
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to get. They assumed the position that they were going
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: to get a large audience out here's the deal. To
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: answer the question, though, the formal question of should the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: NFL dump the concurrent NFL Monday Night games? Yeah, is
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the sun up during the day. Is the stars in
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the sky at night? You said, Well, the stars are
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: in the sky during the day too, we just don't
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: see him. But the point is, you see him at night,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: assuming it's not overcast and gloomy and cloudy and all that.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: You see him Monday night football see And this is like,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I guess it's an old guy take. I think it's
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the right take, and normally I want more, I don't
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: want less. But when I grew up, it was a
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: spec like I'm so old. We didn't have Sunday night football.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: We did not have Thursday night football. It was like
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: a special thing. Monday night football was a big deal.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: And I obviously the Island game and all that stuff,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: but it was a night where the entire football world
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: locked in, like you planned the whole thing, you watched it.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: It was a communal experience, much like these games are.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: But it's just not the same and it can't be
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: fully communal when you have two games that are overlapping
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: in the second half of the A game and then
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the first half of the B game, so you end
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: up not watching parts of both games. It just it
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And so I look at it this way. Right, it's
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: a Frankenstein experiment. The NFL, and as actually talking to
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the great Steve de Seger, who's been sleeping for five
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: five hours, even though you hear his voice all night.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: But I saw him earlier when I was coming in here,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and we were talking talking about how the NFL now
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: they're so desperate to get even more money that they
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: have to cannibalize the games and they have to chop
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: them up, and they need as many they call them
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: windows TV windows to sell. They're already preparing for the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: next TV contract. They're like, Okay, we're gonna play every Christmas.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: That's a standalone package. We can sell that to Netflix
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: or whoever. We've got the Sunday, the Thursday, the Monday,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: but if we can have an extra window on Monday,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: we can do that. Do I hear anyone for a Tuesday?
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Can we get a Tuesday? Well, that's usually the day
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: off for the players. We can make more money. We'll
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: have them play on Tuesday. How about Tuesday. We can't
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: play on Friday because the people get upset this high
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: school football Friday. But maybe part of the year we
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: could we can sell a mini package. We could sell
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that on Friday. So they're trying to chop it up,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and it's cannibalizing the NFL schedule to make as much money.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: We'll have every team play an international game. We'll sell
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: that to the BBC, we'll sell that to the different
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: national cable channels in the different parts of the country
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: or world for that matter. And we're on our way,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: all right. And so you've got two games at once.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: It's all overlapping. It's split windows, it's split attention. I
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: don't like it. It's to me, it's it's brutal. And
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: this has proven also based on the early results. They've
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: been doing this for a couple of years, it has
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: been proven that it's not working. It's too much. It's
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: not what people want. You spend all day. Most people
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: work the day shift. You work the day shift. You
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: want com home, You want to watch one game. You
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: don't want to have to watch two games, and then
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: you end up betting parlays and you start putting multiple
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: bets and it's just a hot mess. It's just a
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: hot mess. And the other problem, this is the biggest issue.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: You got one game that's got the juice, and then
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: you've got the other game that is usually forgettable, and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: so it's kind of like these concurrent NFL games. It's
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: like going into a mom and pop diner and they say, listen,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I love you. I'm gonna give you two meals. Their
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: their lukewarm. So I don't really want a lukewarm meal.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I just want one hot meal. No, no, we've got two.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: We'll give you two, and but no I want one.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Uh and so maybe there's one good one. And some
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: ways there's just two mediocre games. They're just is I
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: just want one, as the kids say, one banger. That's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: all I want, and give me the main course. I
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: don't need this buffet stop. You know, back in my
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: younger days, I used to love buffets. Not now. So
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the NFL's problem is simple. They have an issue with
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: trying to make more money. They have to chop the
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: games up and they have to cannibalize the games and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the schedule and all that stuff. And they also don't
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: trust their own schedule. So like if you knew you
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: could put a good product out every Monday, remember Thursday
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: night football sucked for years and everyone complained so much
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: that they put the kebash on that because they started
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: putting better games, on Thursday night. They also, this is
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: what I've heard from people around the NFL. They have
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: made it a point of emphasis for the players to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: stop bitching about playing on Thursday night. For years it
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: was woe is me, Oh my god, what are they?
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: You're treating us like farm animals making us play on
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Thursday night. You don't hear that hardly at all anymore
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: because the NFL's requested the players zip it when it
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: comes to that kind of stuff. So anyway, so listen
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: in the NFL's talking about getting rid of it. If
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: they can sell it, they'll keep it. That's always what
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: this is about. If you can sell it, if you
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: have inventory, someone's willing to pay you a lot of
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: money for it, you'll do it. End of story. But
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I think less is more in this case. I learned
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: that also from iHeart University. Less is more And just
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: bring back the single Monday night showcase, make it mean
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: something again, something special, and that's it. It is the
• 22:40

  Speaker 1: and we have some listener music. We love listener music.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that also later this hour Site to
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Bite the Great Sports Radio Mystery, So we have that now.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: One of the big names in the NFL. Unfortunately, it
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: appears he played his final game on Monday night. We're
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: talking about Mike Evans of the Buccaneers. There are reports
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: out in the overnight that that's it. He was carted
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: off the field. The team said it was a concussion
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and a shoulder injury. That was the initial report, but
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: there are some reports out overnight that it appears the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: injury is feared to be a season ending injury, which
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: will mean the Buccaneers obviously we have to play with
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: a bunch of secondary wide receivers, but also Jerry Rice somewhere.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he will not celebrate this at all, but
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Mike Evans has had one thousand plus yards in all
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: eleven seasons. That is tied with Jerry Rice for the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: longest streak in NFL history, and it appears they will
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: remain tied as Mike Evans is down for the count.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: And if you're of a certain age and you grew
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: up a fan of baseball in the nineteen eighties, there
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: were two players that were more popular than anybody. And
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: it depends where you lived, obviously, but Wade Bogs with
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox was very popular. And Don Maddingly and
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Donnie Baseball. Because Toronto reaches the World Series. Don Maddingly
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: finally has broken through a forty two year, forty two
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: year World Series drought because he's coaching for the Toronto
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays and the Blue Jays are into the World
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Series for the first time in thirty one years. But
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Don Mattingly, Donnie Baseball, who was like mister Yankee in
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: his career and all that and uh never all even
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: had great players in that era with the Yankees, legends
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: like Dave Winfield and Ricky Henderson and Mel Hall, but
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: unfortunately didn't win anything. And he played in baseball from
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: eighty two to ninety five and has been a coach
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: or a manager since twenty oh three. And I was
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: around him a lot when he was with the Dodgers
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: and fun dude. He's in sixties now, Don Mattingly mid
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: sixties and so Donnie Baseball wins the Pennant gets to
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: the World Series for the first time and goes against
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers, must be very upset. He managed the Dodgers
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: before they became the Dodgers of modern times, like Don
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: matting managers, and they had good teams, but they didn't
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: quite have the razzle dazzle, the over the top payroll
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: they have. Now, all right, we have some music we love.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Listener music. Oh my god, Listener music is so good.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: So Halloween, it's the Halloween season. And one of the
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: great talented people. And he's been so good. If you
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: listen to the Fifth Hour podcast, you know that Ohio
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: aw is a big part of that. He sends us
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: stuff and we play it every week for the mail
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Bag and some other bits that we do in the
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Fifth Hour podcast. So he's been great and he sends
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: songs in and he's part of the Mallard Plusa. Now
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I've noticed a lot of you guys now only submit
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: songs to win an award at the maled Blues. We
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: used to have Rask with the band and Jay Scoop
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: and Just Josh would randomly send songs. But I hope
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Jay Scoops okay. Haven't heard from Jay Scoo in a while,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: hopefully he's okay. But we'd have you guys submit songs
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and stuff just randomly, and we loved it. You didn't
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: have to wait to win an award. And so I've
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: stopped promoting this stuff. But Ohio al randomly decided to
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: send a tune in and it's a Halloween theme song
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: with the Malord branding. So let's play it. We played
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: it earlier, there's some technical difficulty, so let's play it again.
• 29:07
