Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Warner Wolf, I never saw this with all the football
- 0:04Speaker 1: I ever watched. At the end of the giant game
- 0:06Speaker 1: that they won, they tackled Harbaugh. The coach, they tackled
- 0:10Speaker 1: him to the ground. He's on the ground. Have you
- 0:13Speaker 1: ever seen that before?
- 0:15Speaker 2: No, never saw him tackled. Everybody's seen the Gatorade over
- 0:18Speaker 2: the head or carry him off. I've never seen him tackled.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Boy, they were excited. Did they have reason to be excited?
- 0:28Speaker 2: Oh, man, you know, here we get winning on the
- 0:31Speaker 2: last play of the game again. What an exciting team.
- 0:35Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Chris, three stories from the game.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Number one, the return of Cam Scataboo back from the
- 0:43Speaker 2: dead out of the doghouse, 124 yards and 17 carries.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Story number two, 6'4, 230-pound Jameis Winston, is now the
- 0:56Speaker 2: official $ 13 million tush-push carrier. And number three, you could
- 1:02Speaker 2: laugh at that. Number three, J.J. Jonathan James McCarthy, 20
- 1:09Speaker 2: for 28, and almost 500 total yards passing in his
- 1:14Speaker 2: two games. One of them was just one quarter. So
- 1:18Speaker 2: the Giants, barring injury, could be set for at least
- 1:22Speaker 2: the next 10 seasons With two top-flight quarterbacks, both Jackson, Dart,
- 1:29Speaker 2: and McCarthy, both are only 23 years old. So if
- 1:34Speaker 2: one is hurt or having a bad game in the
- 1:36Speaker 2: second half, put in the other guy, just like Allie
- 1:40Speaker 2: Sherman did with Y.A. Tittle and Charlie Connolly in the
- 1:45Speaker 2: 61 Giants Eastern Conference Championship. As far as the Jets go, oh, man.
- 1:51Speaker 2: If you can't beat the winless Dolphins playing at home,
- 1:55Speaker 2: who can you beat? Unfortunately, I think the writing is
- 2:00Speaker 2: on the wall for Aaron Glenn, who is now 5-19
- 2:03Speaker 2: as head coach of the Jets. Once again, it appears
- 2:10Speaker 2: Glenn cannot be a head coach and the defensive coordinator
- 2:14Speaker 2: at the same time and keep track of the timeouts
- 2:18Speaker 2: and management clocks. He saved all three of his first
- 2:22Speaker 2: half timeouts and took them into the dressing room. What for?
- 2:28Speaker 2: Was he looking for a refund? What are you making
- 2:33Speaker 2: of this?
- 2:33Speaker 1: I noticed the defense, the Jet defense, gave up 156
- 2:37Speaker 1: rush yards against a team not known for anything, the Dolphins.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Why doesn't the owner, Woody Johnson, say, you're not calling
- 2:47Speaker 1: the defense signals anymore? No.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Good-eyed because Woody Johnson should be selling Q-tips at Johnson & Johnson.
- 2:59Speaker 2: You know, I'll tell you, you know, he didn't call
- 3:04Speaker 2: any timeouts. You remember the Dolphins moved 91 yards just
- 3:10Speaker 2: before the half? And the point is it left only
- 3:14Speaker 2: six seconds for the Jets to have the ball. He
- 3:18Speaker 2: just doesn't know. I'll tell you an unbelievable statistic. Going
- 3:23Speaker 2: back to last season, the Jets have now been outscored
- 3:28Speaker 2: 107-6 in the last two minutes of the first half.
- 3:35Speaker 1: My, no, no, my, man.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Yeah, that tells you something right there. Wow. And you
- 3:42Speaker 2: know what's bad? The high-end gamblers know everything before everybody else.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Early in the week, The injured Ravens quarterback, Lamar Jackson,
- 3:52Speaker 2: took snaps, and he was listed as questionable, which means
- 3:56Speaker 2: he still might play. The Ravens were made a point-and-a-half
- 4:00Speaker 2: favorite at home against the Bengals. But later in the week,
- 4:06Speaker 2: the Gamblers find out that Jackson is not going to play.
- 4:10Speaker 2: He's later declared out of the game, and the Ravens
- 4:12Speaker 2: become a point-and-a-half underdog. So since the Bengals easily won
- 4:18Speaker 2: the game by 32 points, if you took the Bengals
- 4:23Speaker 2: as a point-and-a-half underdog and then later took the— you know what? Oh, man,
- 4:31Speaker 2: I think I messed this up. If you took the— oh, jeez,
- 4:36Speaker 2: I messed myself.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Up.
- 4:40Speaker 2: If you took the Bengals early and the point-and-a-half, and
- 4:44Speaker 2: then later took the Bengals and gave the point and
- 4:48Speaker 2: a half, you won both bets. See, they know everything
- 4:53Speaker 2: before everybody else. By the way, nine of the 12
- 4:56Speaker 2: home teams lost yesterday. The bow of the week has
- 5:00Speaker 2: to go to Yankee owner Al Steinbrenner, who publicly blamed
- 5:05Speaker 2: three of his players for the Yankees' poor showing in
- 5:08Speaker 2: the playoffs. pay pal look in the mirror you know
- 5:12Speaker 2: what is signed off on the three hundred forty eight
- 5:15Speaker 2: million dollar payroll including the luxury tax but actually your
- 5:21Speaker 2: you could just like your father who you remember after
- 5:24Speaker 2: dave winfield went one for twenty two in the nineteen
- 5:27Speaker 2: eighty one world series he called him mister may as
- 5:32Speaker 2: opposed to mister.
- 5:33Speaker 1: October all brilliant brilliant water and.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Then you remember The Yankees had a pitcher named Hedecky Arabu.
- 5:41Speaker 2: He failed to cover first base on a ground ball
- 5:45Speaker 2: in an exhibition game. And George called him a fat toad.
- 5:53Speaker 2: But here's the difference. I think your father would have
- 5:56Speaker 2: fired Aaron Boone by now after going 0 for 9
- 5:59Speaker 2: years and no World Series championship and continually taking out
- 6:04Speaker 2: a starting pitcher way too soon. he might have, I
- 6:09Speaker 2: don't know if he would have kept Brian Cashman or not.
- 6:12Speaker 2: He kept him for 12 years. Meanwhile, look at this.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Three of the World Series, Game 3, shifts to the
- 6:21Speaker 2: Milwaukee Brewers leading two games to none. Now, Milwaukee is
- 6:27Speaker 2: the smallest-sized major league market in the majors. And by
- 6:32Speaker 2: the way, they were 35 to one shot to win
- 6:34Speaker 2: the World Series before the season began. And Tampa, see,
- 6:40Speaker 2: this is where Hal and his family lived in Tampa.
- 6:43Speaker 2: I mean, they're shoving it in his face. Your family's
- 6:47Speaker 2: resided there for years. And Tampa has a payroll almost
- 6:52Speaker 2: four times less than yours at only $ 90 million, ranking
- 6:57Speaker 2: 28th out of 30th in the major leagues. And before
- 7:01Speaker 2: the season, the Rays were 80-1 to win the World Series.
- 7:08Speaker 2: So if someone could have put down $ 1, 000 there, they'd
- 7:11Speaker 2: win $ 80, 000 if they win.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Hey, Warner, this is the worst thing that could happen
- 7:19Speaker 1: to the players' union going into contract negotiations for next season.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. What do you mean, small market team? What
- 7:27Speaker 2: are you talking about? Look who's in the World Series.
- 7:30Speaker 1: That's right.
- 7:31Speaker 2: That's right. Well, here's the boo of the week. Actually,
- 7:35Speaker 2: she's the stooge of the week. It goes to Minnesota
- 7:38Speaker 2: Representative Ilhan Omar. I heard you guys talking earlier. Responding
- 7:44Speaker 2: to a reporter about the immigration probe investigating her U.S.
- 7:49Speaker 2: citizenship status. When if she married, did she marry her brother?
- 7:55Speaker 2: She said, not to my knowledge. Not to my knowledge.
- 8:02Speaker 2: You've got to be kidding. You wouldn't know whether or
- 8:05Speaker 2: not you married your own brother. Here's the bottom line.
- 8:09Speaker 2: She knows if she says yes, she's got a one-way
- 8:14Speaker 2: ticket back to Somalia. If she says no, everyone knows
- 8:19Speaker 2: she's lying. What a loser.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Now, Warner, you know what she's going to be wearing,
- 8:24Speaker 1: a Minnesota Vikings jersey. They're the only undefeated NFL team
- 8:29Speaker 1: to just totally distract from that because everybody will go, yeah, Eli, yeah.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Yeah, she's been a fan for years, even in Somalia.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Well, do appreciate that, Warner Wolfe. Same time, same place
- 8:46Speaker 1: next week. Man, that was good. That was solid.
