- 0:44Speaker 1: prompt today. And of course we'll go over the rest
- 0:46Speaker 1: of the crew. George Iihorn, Hey, good to see y'all tonight.
- 0:52Speaker 3: And Candy Applink well, hello, gentlemen.
- 0:56Speaker 4: Great to have us all back on the show tonight.
- 1:01Speaker 3: All right, well, here it is, folks.
- 1:03Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the World Series events and we're
- 1:05Speaker 1: gonna give you an update on the World Series since
- 1:08Speaker 1: obviously this show is at nine o'clock PM Eastern time.
- 1:12Speaker 1: What's going on, Josha Door, We're going on. What's going on?
- 1:16Speaker 1: George Acorn? All right, gonna call you an acorn, okay,
- 1:19Speaker 1: unless that's a pronunciation issue. Anyways, we're gonna talk about
- 1:22Speaker 1: the World Series. Little bit of NBA Lions, and we're
- 1:25Speaker 1: gonna talk about Miami Hurricanes. And I with that said,
- 1:28Speaker 1: Eric Judge, prior to this game, okay, and a repeat,
- 1:31Speaker 1: prior to this game, he had one hit, twelve at
- 1:34Speaker 1: bat seven strikeouts. So obviously that's changed. And why has
- 1:38Speaker 1: it changed? And he hit a home run today? Anybody
- 1:41Speaker 1: want to talk about it? I think you did hit
- 1:46Speaker 1: a home run, right, Candy?
- 1:47Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:48Speaker 5: Time, it's about time.
- 1:50Speaker 6: Really, you know here we are in game number five, correct, Yes, yep.
- 1:58Speaker 5: And a lot of sure on him obviously.
- 2:01Speaker 6: And we talked about this, I think earlier in the
- 2:04Speaker 6: week on The Baseball Show, about the.
- 2:05Speaker 5: Fact that, yeah, he was new to this kind of
- 2:08Speaker 5: stage as far as the World Series goes.
- 2:11Speaker 6: So I mean, yeah, I will give him that, and
- 2:15Speaker 6: you know, but the fact is is that, uh, you know,
- 2:18Speaker 6: it better late than ever, whatever cliquee you want to say.
- 2:21Speaker 6: But he did get the home run tonight, So I
- 2:24Speaker 6: mean that's that's a good that's a good first sign
- 2:27Speaker 6: for him.
- 2:28Speaker 5: See if the Yankees gonna hang on and stretch this
- 2:30Speaker 5: series out, what do you guys think.
- 2:33Speaker 2: We listen, they have no pressure whatsoever at this point,
- 2:37Speaker 2: being down three games to none, now three to one,
- 2:41Speaker 2: on paper, they've already lost. All they have to do
- 2:43Speaker 2: is play one game at a time, and if they win,
- 2:45Speaker 2: they get to play another game. D D.
- 2:49Speaker 4: I agree. I mean that the pressure was on Aaron
- 2:52Speaker 4: Judge because everybody said he was one of the home
- 2:56Speaker 4: run you know, hitting leaders the regular season, and so
- 3:02Speaker 4: I think they put more pressure on him, and then
- 3:05Speaker 4: I think he put pressure on himself, and I think
- 3:08Speaker 4: he was overthinking it. And the other thing is is
- 3:10Speaker 4: we always talk about the hitter's side of things, but
- 3:14Speaker 4: there's a picture on the other side that's trying to
- 3:16Speaker 4: not let him hit as well, and they up their
- 3:19Speaker 4: game just as much as the hitters try and overdo
- 3:22Speaker 4: it as well. So we have to remember that there's
- 3:25Speaker 4: pictures out there pitching to him and they don't want
- 3:27Speaker 4: them to hit it, so they're gonna do whatever they
- 3:30Speaker 4: can to not allow them to hit. And Joshua, Hello,
- 3:35Speaker 4: since you said hi, Candy.
- 3:37Speaker 1: All right, let's not lose sight of a couple of
- 3:39Speaker 1: packs here. First of all, Okay, Aaron Judges the captain.
- 3:43Speaker 1: He's making a lot of money. So that's to me
- 3:46Speaker 1: our two reasons why a man like him should feel
- 3:48Speaker 1: under a lot of pressure. They look up to this guy.
- 3:51Speaker 1: You know, every hitter in baseball has a slump. You
- 3:54Speaker 1: hope it doesn't happen in the World Series like it has.
- 3:57Speaker 1: But right now, the series is not over. It is
- 4:01Speaker 1: not until the final out is made. And you know what,
- 4:06Speaker 1: they can win another game here at the Yankee Stadium.
- 4:10Speaker 1: They have the Dodgers attention is what it is. So
- 4:14Speaker 1: you know, says Reality Aaron Judge. They get they will
- 4:19Speaker 1: win tonight. Than anything, it could be a very different
- 4:22Speaker 1: series when you get it back to LA. I'll tell
- 4:24Speaker 1: you a guy that is having a great postseason as
- 4:26Speaker 1: a guy by name of Freddie Freeman. The six straight
- 4:29Speaker 1: World Series games where he's had a home run, which
- 4:32Speaker 1: is a new record. So you know what, JB some
- 4:35Speaker 1: thoughts about the way Freddie Freeman is playing in the postseason.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Don't know why the Yankees are pitching to him, but
- 4:42Speaker 2: nothing but class. He's done everything he's had to do,
- 4:47Speaker 2: hit the ball. Unbelievable, great series. He's the MVP at
- 4:51Speaker 2: this point. I would it's safe to say if the
- 4:54Speaker 2: Yankees win tonight and it's three to two and somehow
- 4:57Speaker 2: there's a miracle and they would game six again seven
- 5:00Speaker 2: in l A I think he could still be MVP,
- 5:04Speaker 2: that's how impressive his series is.
- 5:06Speaker 6: But okay, interesting taint, George, Well, yeah, Freddie, Yeah, there
- 5:12Speaker 6: were there was a lot of angst.
- 5:15Speaker 5: As you guys know when he left the Atlanta Braves.
- 5:18Speaker 6: I mean, my daughter and my son in law lived
- 5:20Speaker 6: down there, and they would tell me how much he
- 5:22Speaker 6: was obviously appreciated and loved down in Atlanta. And I
- 5:25Speaker 6: know it was a tough situation with boil Boy. He
- 5:28Speaker 6: had a cash out when he could, obviously, and the
- 5:31Speaker 6: La Dodgers with the big pockets brought him on board.
- 5:35Speaker 6: But my goodness, to hit consecutive home runs and so
- 5:38Speaker 6: many games just incredible. And as you guys know, he's
- 5:41Speaker 6: he's had so many issues, uh this year, personal issues
- 5:45Speaker 6: as well as injuries and stuff. So God, we to
- 5:49Speaker 6: talk about a time to wake up and uh and
- 5:52Speaker 6: be noticed. And Freeman, it is just he's put together
- 5:56Speaker 6: a really solid career, no question about it. And he's
- 5:59Speaker 6: he's in the job with the Dodgers right now and
- 6:01Speaker 6: I'm sure they're very thankful for that.
- 6:05Speaker 4: Take Candy, he's set a record. He's hit in six
- 6:10Speaker 4: straight World Series games. Yes, the state's back to his
- 6:14Speaker 4: trip to the Fall Classic with Atlanta back in twenty
- 6:17Speaker 4: twenty one. He has homered in every game of the
- 6:21Speaker 4: twenty four World Series except obviously tonight. He has yet
- 6:26Speaker 4: to or hasn't at this point. But it's just really
- 6:32Speaker 4: cool because he's a he's a really cool guy. He's
- 6:35Speaker 4: good for the game, and it's just neat to see
- 6:39Speaker 4: when good players and good good men do well. You
- 6:45Speaker 4: always want to root for people like that. Whether he's
- 6:49Speaker 4: on your team or not, you feel good for him.
- 6:52Speaker 1: So, by the way, speaking of Judge, you made a
- 6:55Speaker 1: great defensive playover in center field, right up against the wall.
- 6:58Speaker 1: And let's go to George his comments. Judges a six
- 7:02Speaker 1: foot seven giant, and boy he showed that height right.
- 7:05Speaker 3: At the wall a few moments ago.
- 7:07Speaker 1: All right, well, you know what, there is another Japanese
- 7:09Speaker 1: angle that most people don't know about it, but it
- 7:11Speaker 1: happened today on the first pitch at Decky Matt Suey,
- 7:15Speaker 1: the two thousand and nine World Series MVP, throughout in
- 7:19Speaker 1: game five, did throughout the first pitch. I am glad
- 7:21Speaker 1: that they are recognizing hit Dekie Matt Suey, JB.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Have you did you live in New York?
- 7:26Speaker 5: At the time.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Yes, So, Deki Matsuey, great player, another classy guy, just
- 7:33Speaker 2: went out and played hard. Always fun to watch, you know,
- 7:37Speaker 2: love the guy and I'm glad that they honored him
- 7:39Speaker 2: and had him throw out the first pitch, especially with
- 7:42Speaker 2: Otadi being in the World Series, and that everyone in
- 7:44Speaker 2: Japan's watching just makes it that much more special than
- 7:48Speaker 2: everyone there got to see Matsuey do it.
- 7:50Speaker 1: All fifteen million of them, I might add, talk about
- 7:54Speaker 1: the what in the viewership in Japan? Fifteen million? Georgia
- 7:58Speaker 1: deca matt Suey without a doubt. Okay, he's one of
- 8:02Speaker 1: the best Japanese players to ever play Major League Baseball.
- 8:06Speaker 3: I know eh e O Suzuki will definitely be one.
- 8:09Speaker 1: But at Deki Matsui and everything he brought and the
- 8:12Speaker 1: class he brought to the Yankees.
- 8:13Speaker 3: So how do you want to elaborate on that?
- 8:16Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I.
- 8:17Speaker 6: Think it's a great honor anytime obviously that you're going
- 8:20Speaker 6: to be asked to throw out the first pitch, but
- 8:22Speaker 6: especially at the World Series between these two great franchises.
- 8:26Speaker 5: And yeah, as JB alluded to it.
- 8:29Speaker 6: A wonderful career of the Yankees and certainly deserved the honor.
- 8:34Speaker 6: I mean, you think about all these Yankee players that
- 8:37Speaker 6: they could call up and say, well, let's see who
- 8:39Speaker 6: were we gonna let this? Oh, I mean, beyond a doubt,
- 8:42Speaker 6: there's so many to choose from. Uh and I know
- 8:45Speaker 6: that they work with Anche League Baseball and who's going
- 8:47Speaker 6: to do that? But Boil boy, that is a great
- 8:49Speaker 6: honor for him and deserving too. Like you guys said,
- 8:53Speaker 6: you know, he's a great, great guy, great man in
- 8:55Speaker 6: the community. Obviously, the you know, the Asian people in
- 9:02Speaker 6: Asia look up to him so much. And I'd like
- 9:04Speaker 6: to do it tany now. But yeah, he had a
- 9:07Speaker 6: good time with the New York Yankees.
- 9:10Speaker 5: Really good player indeed.
- 9:15Speaker 4: So he started out playing in Japan. Then he came
- 9:18Speaker 4: to the Yankees back in two thousand and three, played
- 9:21Speaker 4: with them till two thousand and nine. Twenty ten, he
- 9:24Speaker 4: played with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Oakland Athletics,
- 9:28Speaker 4: and Tampa Bay Rays. He is a nine time All Star,
- 9:32Speaker 4: three time Japanese Series Champion, three times Central League MVP,
- 9:39Speaker 4: Japan Series MVP, nine time Best nine Award he is
- 9:45Speaker 4: in the MLB. He's two time All Star back in
- 9:49Speaker 4: two thousand and three, and two thousand and four World
- 9:51Speaker 4: Series Champion, two thousand and nine, World Series MVP two
- 9:55Speaker 4: thousand and nine. He was actually inducted into the Japanese
- 9:59Speaker 4: Baseball Hall of Fame back in twenty eighteen. So he
- 10:05Speaker 4: had quite a long career. You got to give him
- 10:09Speaker 4: a lot of credit. I mean, they say during his
- 10:12Speaker 4: twenty year playing career he hit five hundred and seven
- 10:16Speaker 4: home runs.
- 10:18Speaker 7: That is quite a feat, oh, Gosha, Yeah all right, Well,
- 10:24Speaker 7: you know, I like to have a little bit of
- 10:26Speaker 7: fun on this show, so I guess Joshua Door is
- 10:29Speaker 7: going to be my whipping boy for tonight.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Okay, oh oh, he's going to have a heart attack,
- 10:34Speaker 1: but that's okay, it shouldn't be too bad. He does
- 10:36Speaker 1: know a little bit about Japanese sports, only he's got
- 10:39Speaker 1: the wrong one. But this is a very comical hit, Deeki,
- 10:43Speaker 1: let's put it up there. Hideki Matsuyama played golf, not baseball.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Good to know about that golf information, But at least
- 10:51Speaker 1: they do swing some sort of an instrument. His master's
- 10:54Speaker 1: win was impressive.
- 10:55Speaker 3: Good to know.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I'm sure that maybe we can get the Golf Channel
- 10:58Speaker 1: to go ahead sponsor this shi, but we know that
- 11:01Speaker 1: golf that Joshua is definitely trying so hard to get
- 11:04Speaker 1: golf on here. But you know when they get to
- 11:06Speaker 1: hockey show, Josh, let me give you some good advice, brother,
- 11:09Speaker 1: support it okay more often.
- 11:11Speaker 3: Okay, Now we know you won't be on for Halloween.
- 11:14Speaker 1: That's off to ash sure, but you know it's a
- 11:16Speaker 1: good question here too with Josh with George Iikore, what's
- 11:19Speaker 1: your favorite type of sushi?
- 11:21Speaker 6: I don't eat the stuff. Sorry, I'll eat shrimp. I'll
- 11:25Speaker 6: eat shrimp and fish, but not sushi.
- 11:28Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Well, I actually like the California role now that I
- 11:32Speaker 1: think about. What about you and Joe? What's your favorite
- 11:34Speaker 1: type of sushi?
- 11:35Speaker 2: I like both stuff, but I'm a spicy turtle ro
- 11:39Speaker 2: old guy.
- 11:41Speaker 3: Yeah, we know.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Hey, Joshua, we know you. You support all of our shows.
- 11:44Speaker 1: That's okay.
- 11:45Speaker 3: We enjoy your comments. You do a great job.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Always like to have oil people in there that try
- 11:50Speaker 1: to go out there and make positive contributions.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Hey, listen, we even get your sushi one up there.
- 11:55Speaker 5: You know.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I got to tell you, though, I do go ahead
- 11:57Speaker 1: and enjoy that stuff with the salmon and the cream
- 12:02Speaker 1: cheese in there. I'm not sure what that one is.
- 12:04Speaker 1: That's pretty good about you, Candy. Are you you're not
- 12:05Speaker 1: a big sushi person?
- 12:06Speaker 4: Are I am not a sushi person? I'm with George,
- 12:09Speaker 4: I don't do.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Sushi, so okay, well he likes don't expect tarashi. You
- 12:16Speaker 3: ever heard of it? I don't you ever hear of? No?
- 12:22Speaker 5: No?
- 12:24Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't want to get hungry. Candy did
- 12:26Speaker 1: a good job making some good fish there. That's a JB.
- 12:29Speaker 3: Noll's roll.
- 12:30Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about something that I'd rather not
- 12:33Speaker 1: talk about, but unfortunately it's part of this series, whether
- 12:35Speaker 1: they want to know it or not. Yankees fans, they
- 12:37Speaker 1: interfered last night with the Mookie Betts were banned for tonight.
- 12:41Speaker 1: All right, Candy, don't think you need a lot of
- 12:43Speaker 1: research for this, so tell me what your thoughts about
- 12:47Speaker 1: the fact that these guys got banned, but they did
- 12:49Speaker 1: get refunded their money.
- 12:53Speaker 4: They should be banned for more than just that they
- 12:55Speaker 4: know better than to interfere with the play of the ball.
- 12:59Speaker 4: I don't care who you are, I don't care what
- 13:01Speaker 4: game it is. I don't care if it's regular season, playoff,
- 13:04Speaker 4: World Series. You do not interfere with the player going
- 13:08Speaker 4: for the ball period.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Okay, yeah they did get refunded. Josh, you know, shouldn't
- 13:16Speaker 1: have great, you know, but what do you think George interference?
- 13:20Speaker 5: Oh gosh, yeah, so, I mean, you know, that was
- 13:22Speaker 5: just claytant I think it was.
- 13:26Speaker 6: It was the sad reflection on the Yankee fans that
- 13:30Speaker 6: you know, love the game and and and have fun
- 13:33Speaker 6: and enjoy the game. But this this two act play
- 13:37Speaker 6: with both guys trying to either grab the ball or
- 13:40Speaker 6: grab the guy's arm and the mitt, and now that
- 13:42Speaker 6: was that was pretty low. And uh, of course they
- 13:45Speaker 6: denied him from attending I believe game five tonight. I
- 13:49Speaker 6: don't know what other punishment is awaiting, but yeah, that
- 13:52Speaker 6: was pretty Clayton.
- 13:53Speaker 5: I didn't like that at all.
- 13:56Speaker 6: Security was there, and of course he had a right
- 13:57Speaker 6: field umpire who saw what was going on right there,
- 14:01Speaker 6: right there, Lyne.
- 14:02Speaker 5: But yeah, this guy, that was too much of being
- 14:06Speaker 5: a bozo.
- 14:06Speaker 8: I'm sorry, anybody else want to add to this absolutely
- 14:11Speaker 8: ridiculous two morons they belonged, never to see another sporting
- 14:17Speaker 8: event in person.
- 14:18Speaker 5: Ever.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Again, they're fans, they're not part of the team. Get
- 14:22Speaker 2: out of there, you know, in a way, I wish
- 14:24Speaker 2: it would have happened when Barry Bonds was playing, because
- 14:27Speaker 2: Barry Bonds would have decked them both. Mookie Betts has
- 14:29Speaker 2: a lot of class. The way he answered the questions
- 14:32Speaker 2: after the game, the way he responded these two idiots
- 14:36Speaker 2: and ESPN for writing a story about them is utterly
- 14:39Speaker 2: ridiculous and unprofessional. The whole thing is just a fraud.
- 14:44Speaker 2: The fact that the Yankees were going to allow them
- 14:45Speaker 2: into Game five before MLB stepped in disgraceful, utterly disgusting.
- 14:51Speaker 2: And the two of them, they need to be deported.
- 14:55Speaker 1: You know what, I don't mind not having new say
- 14:58Speaker 1: a lot, Joe, because you did took the words.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Out of my mouth.
- 15:01Speaker 1: Maybe not the exact words because I'm not a mind reader,
- 15:05Speaker 1: but they're pretty glos really seriously good stuff. Okay, there
- 15:11Speaker 1: you go, all right, well, you know, we'll here's some
- 15:13Speaker 1: good news, though, came on the Yankee side of the equation.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Anthony Bolti is the first player in MLB history he
- 15:19Speaker 1: recorded four arby eyes and two stolen bases in a
- 15:22Speaker 1: World Series game. Not bad to be a first time
- 15:24Speaker 1: in a World series or something. So, Joe, since we
- 15:27Speaker 1: left off with you, we're gonna start with you about
- 15:29Speaker 1: Anthony Bolpi.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Listen, great, great for the kid. He's you know, he
- 15:35Speaker 2: was a Yankee fan growing up. He got to go
- 15:37Speaker 2: to the parade the last time they won in two
- 15:40Speaker 2: thousand and nine. It's a lifelong dream. It's a great story,
- 15:44Speaker 2: you know. And I'm glad he's doing well. Hit that
- 15:46Speaker 2: Grand Slam. It's great to see. Good for him. I'm
- 15:50Speaker 2: happy for him. And you never know who the hero
- 15:52Speaker 2: is gonna be on the biggest stages, and I'm glad
- 15:55Speaker 2: it was he was able to enjoy it. I'm sure
- 15:57Speaker 2: it was a great honor for him.
- 16:00Speaker 6: Came will turn over to George Diihorn Well, yeah, twenty
- 16:03Speaker 6: three years old, Volpie, and you look at his stats.
- 16:09Speaker 6: He had actually had a better year a year ago
- 16:12Speaker 6: twenty one homers and fifty two I'm sorry, twenty one
- 16:15Speaker 6: homers and sixty RBIs and this year twelve homers.
- 16:19Speaker 5: It dropped off in sixty.
- 16:21Speaker 6: But yeah, what a great, great time for you to
- 16:25Speaker 6: be recognized and for putting yourself into the so called
- 16:29Speaker 6: record book as well. I mean, you know, this kid
- 16:32Speaker 6: is really you could tell he loves the game the
- 16:35Speaker 6: way he plays that game and the slow motion replays
- 16:39Speaker 6: from some of his plays and obviously is hitting this year.
- 16:43Speaker 6: Fox has covered that really well. But yeah, what a
- 16:46Speaker 6: great future. It looks like he's got ahead of him,
- 16:48Speaker 6: twenty three years old, enjoying his life and enjoying a great,
- 16:52Speaker 6: great spectacle such as the World Series and you're playing
- 16:56Speaker 6: for You're playing for the championship of the world.
- 16:59Speaker 5: Basically, congratulations to kid.
- 17:03Speaker 4: All Right, Candy, what an unexpected, wonderful.
- 17:10Speaker 3: Bat.
- 17:11Speaker 4: Let's face it, there are so many big bats in
- 17:15Speaker 4: the Yankees lineup, and sometimes we forget that these pictures
- 17:19Speaker 4: really target certain batters and then maybe they let up
- 17:24Speaker 4: a little bit on some of the other batters. So
- 17:26Speaker 4: good for him for making the most out of his opportunity.
- 17:29Speaker 4: And what a feeling for him to be able to
- 17:33Speaker 4: hit a Grand Slam in a World Series for your
- 17:37Speaker 4: team to win that game. Let's face it, I mean,
- 17:42Speaker 4: just awesome. I mean, I can't imagine how he felt
- 17:46Speaker 4: after that that that's just awesome on the biggest stage.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like to see unknown players become known, especially

- 18:15Speaker 4: And wait, wait, wait can I Can I just throw

- 18:24Speaker 4: So the trophy that they're playing for the Commissioner's Trophy.
- 18:28Speaker 4: It's made of Sterling silver and features flags from all
- 18:31Speaker 4: thirty MLB teams. So do we know when the first
- 18:36Speaker 4: World Series was? Nineteen o four, nineteen oh three? Good?
- 18:43Speaker 5: Okay.
- 18:44Speaker 4: The only team to not be in a World Series.
- 18:47Speaker 9: Ever Seattle, Seattle there, good job.
- 18:58Speaker 4: The first night game for a World Series happened in
- 19:02Speaker 4: nineteen seventy one between the Oreos and the Pirates. Whitey
- 19:07Speaker 4: Ford holds the record for the most consecutive scoreless innings
- 19:10Speaker 4: pitched in the World Series with thirty three. And who
- 19:15Speaker 4: has the most World Series rings.
- 19:20Speaker 6: I told you that, right, hmm player Yep, yeah, Yogi Berra.
- 19:30Speaker 4: Very good with ten. So that's just a couple of
- 19:34Speaker 4: the young Who is the youngest World Series MVP?
- 19:41Speaker 5: Alan Trammel.
- 19:44Speaker 3: Al Kalter.
- 19:47Speaker 4: Brett Saberhagen was the youngest World Series MVP, winning the
- 19:50Speaker 4: award in nineteen eighty five at the age of twenty
- 19:52Speaker 4: one years, six months and sixteen days.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Let me say, I saw Brett sab Hagen actually playing
- 20:00Speaker 1: the Florida State League for the Fort Myers Royals.
- 20:02Speaker 3: Good player then, and obviously you know when he went
- 20:05Speaker 3: on the dead All right, Candy.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Now I'm going to go to Mi Miami Hurricanes reference Candy,
- 20:09Speaker 1: and I will be covering the Miami Hurricanes and two
- 20:11Speaker 1: Blue Devils. It's a battle of Manny Diaz, a predecessor
- 20:15Speaker 1: of Mario Crystobal. That Blue Devils go in the game
- 20:18Speaker 1: at six and two and the Miami Hurricanes are eight
- 20:22Speaker 1: up with no losses. But get this, you want to
- 20:27Speaker 1: know the key to their dominance right now is that
- 20:29Speaker 1: Miami's offense has gone three and out on three point
- 20:33Speaker 1: three and I repeat, three point three percent of the
- 20:37Speaker 1: drives this season.
- 20:38Speaker 3: That's the lowest rate by.
- 20:39Speaker 1: An FBS offense since two thousand and nine. This according
- 20:43Speaker 1: to the True Media Sports, three of the ninety two
- 20:46Speaker 1: drives were actually ended with a punt and after three plays,
- 20:54Speaker 1: but two of them were against the University of Florida
- 20:57Speaker 1: one three and out and their last eighty two drive.
- 21:00Speaker 1: I could make these numbers up if I wanted to,
- 21:03Speaker 1: But let me tell you something. When you don't go
- 21:06Speaker 1: three and out and you're scoring an off a lot
- 21:08Speaker 1: of points, that is dangerous. And if that, for whatever
- 21:11Speaker 1: it's wort, they only have hyphen trophy. Candidate cam more
- 21:16Speaker 1: to the equation, Joe, you see a lot of what
- 21:19Speaker 1: I put up there. You know I've been covering the
- 21:21Speaker 1: Canes closely. What are your thoughts about what Miami Hurricanes
- 21:24Speaker 1: offense is done this year?
- 21:27Speaker 2: They're impressive. I mean, the only thing that scares me
- 21:30Speaker 2: with that team is they have a flair for the dramatics.
- 21:33Speaker 2: They allow other teams to hang around, but offensively, they
- 21:37Speaker 2: do it when it's necessary. You know, I remember the game.
- 21:43Speaker 2: I forget a team they were playing, but you know
- 21:46Speaker 2: I had them in my parlay and I fell asleep
- 21:49Speaker 2: right after halftime after keep the quarterback throw an interception
- 21:54Speaker 2: and I said, I said the games over they ended
- 21:57Speaker 2: up winning by a point. I mean, teams just the heart,
- 22:00Speaker 2: that offensive, phenomenal. They just have to do their thing,
- 22:05Speaker 2: and you know they can make waves, all right.
- 22:09Speaker 5: George, Yeah, very few people.
- 22:11Speaker 6: Scott had them, you know, being perfect so far, eight
- 22:16Speaker 6: no overall, and then you look a look at this.
- 22:18Speaker 6: You talk about the battle for supremacy in the great
- 22:22Speaker 6: state of Florida.
- 22:22Speaker 5: Guys, Florida.
- 22:25Speaker 6: They beat them, Florida A and M beat them, South
- 22:28Speaker 6: Florida beat them, Florida State beat them.
- 22:31Speaker 5: So I mean, you know, not only is the winning.
- 22:35Speaker 6: Impressive, but the fact that they handled all these teams
- 22:40Speaker 6: in the big state of Florida. I mean, you know,
- 22:43Speaker 6: you look at this team and boy, I you know,
- 22:46Speaker 6: I know they got do coming up, but they got
- 22:48Speaker 6: a really good team.
- 22:50Speaker 5: Cam Wort's done a great job.
- 22:51Speaker 6: And what can you say, being eight and no and
- 22:53Speaker 6: number five in the nation right now, really terrific, terrific
- 22:57Speaker 6: start to this year.
- 23:01Speaker 3: Kenny, you know a lot about the.
- 23:04Speaker 4: You know what I'm gonna say, we haven't seen their
- 23:07Speaker 4: best yet. I don't think they have. I don't think
- 23:11Speaker 4: offensively they have fired on all cylinders for all four
- 23:15Speaker 4: quarters of any one of those games. I've seen they've
- 23:19Speaker 4: done really well at times, but there have been times
- 23:24Speaker 4: there have been interceptions, there's dropped passes, and I know
- 23:28Speaker 4: you see that with a lot of the teams, but
- 23:31Speaker 4: I don't think we've seen the best that they can
- 23:34Speaker 4: be yet. I think this is a product of and
- 23:39Speaker 4: some of them have been on that team for a
- 23:41Speaker 4: number of years, like x Xavier Ristreppo has been on
- 23:45Speaker 4: there for a couple of years. I think it goes
- 23:49Speaker 4: to prove that with the right transfer portal, bringing in
- 23:55Speaker 4: the right guys, keeping the right guys, because let's face it,
- 24:00Speaker 4: with the transfer portal, now you have to recruit all
- 24:02Speaker 4: of your guys, returning guys and in trying guys you're
- 24:06Speaker 4: trying to come in. I think it proves that Mario
- 24:11Speaker 4: Cristopal has they've had some success and they're doing some
- 24:15Speaker 4: of the right things. People in the beginning, because this
- 24:18Speaker 4: is Christopal's third year, were almost quick to say that
- 24:24Speaker 4: he wasn't going to be very successful because he didn't
- 24:27Speaker 4: have a lot of success in the beginning. But I
- 24:30Speaker 4: think it's a culture with him and you hear that,
- 24:35Speaker 4: and you hear people say that, but you say that
- 24:37Speaker 4: you can hear that about Dan Campbell and the alliance
- 24:40Speaker 4: and how if the coach really is in tune with
- 24:45Speaker 4: his players and his players are in tune with him,
- 24:48Speaker 4: that they can do great things together. And so I
- 24:52Speaker 4: really believe that they really want to play for this coach,
- 24:57Speaker 4: that they really gel as a team, and I think
- 25:00Speaker 4: that's important.
- 25:02Speaker 1: Well, number what Exivier Restrepol's going to play on Sunday.
- 25:04Speaker 1: I'll just take that right there. Cam Ward is going
- 25:06Speaker 1: to play on Sunday. Mario Mario Cristobal, I've always known
- 25:10Speaker 1: has been a great coach anyways, whenever he's gone, he's
- 25:13Speaker 1: won everywhere. So anybody that was going to get on
- 25:16Speaker 1: his case earlier, they don't know a darn thing about football.
- 25:19Speaker 3: Anyways.
- 25:20Speaker 1: The guys won everywhere, and he certainly is a part
- 25:22Speaker 1: of two national championships as a player for the Miami Hurricanes.
- 25:26Speaker 1: If anybody knows exactly what this program needs, and yet
- 25:30Speaker 1: it's Mario Crystobal. So but to be able to go
- 25:33Speaker 1: ahead and put these numbers up to me is just
- 25:35Speaker 1: absolutely unbelievable. I mean, think about three point three percent
- 25:39Speaker 1: when it comes to three and outs. It's just sensational.
- 25:43Speaker 1: But don't discount the Canes running backs either. They got
- 25:47Speaker 1: a great running attack as well. And Joe, the team
- 25:50Speaker 1: that you were thinking about was University of California.
- 25:54Speaker 3: That's who you're referring to. You know.
- 25:56Speaker 1: There are lots of ways they could have lost that game,
- 25:59Speaker 1: but they did come back to win it at the
- 26:01Speaker 1: very end. So no, the Canes are what they are.
- 26:04Speaker 1: They're a heck of a They're a heck of a team.
- 26:07Speaker 1: They've come a long way and they're taking advantage of
- 26:09Speaker 1: the transfer portal and all the tools that are available
- 26:12Speaker 1: to them.
- 26:12Speaker 3: But that's that. We're going out. Station Brank Candy go ahead.

- 28:02Speaker 1: Okay, Well, let's go to the NBA and in their
- 28:05Speaker 1: first game of the twenty twenty four twenty five season
- 28:09Speaker 1: of Boston Celtics get this tie an NBA record with
- 28:13Speaker 1: twenty nine threes in a game, twenty nine. Now, I'm
- 28:17Speaker 1: going to tell you right now, my colleague Bob Ryan
- 28:20Speaker 1: said today that three pointers are the worst thing to
- 28:23Speaker 1: happen to basketball in his lifetime. Okay, Joe, I agree
- 28:28Speaker 1: with my colleague. Bob Ryan is a good friend of mine.
- 28:30Speaker 1: What are your thoughts. I had to bring this up here,
- 28:33Speaker 1: these three pointers?
- 28:34Speaker 2: It to me, I it's a different game.
- 28:38Speaker 3: It's horrible. I mean, that's all these teams do.
- 28:40Speaker 2: I actually have to be watching the Celtic game as
- 28:42Speaker 2: we speak right now. They ended up coming back from
- 28:45Speaker 2: sixteen points in posting overtime games tied with two and
- 28:49Speaker 2: a half minutes left. Celtics just shot a three porter
- 28:52Speaker 2: as I'm speaking, and it's a tie game. But it's
- 28:54Speaker 2: just horrible. It's not funny.
- 28:58Speaker 6: George, Yeah, that's incredible. I mean, obviously they got some
- 29:02Speaker 6: sharpshooters on that team. They're world champions, and I mean,
- 29:07Speaker 6: you know with Tatum and.
- 29:08Speaker 5: White and you know, but I agree with Joe.
- 29:13Speaker 6: I mean, this game has just evolved into such a
- 29:16Speaker 6: three point fest FBST, you know, by so many players
- 29:21Speaker 6: and so many teams.
- 29:22Speaker 5: It's gotten.
- 29:23Speaker 6: It's gone completely opposite from what the NBA used to
- 29:27Speaker 6: be in the days that we followed when we were
- 29:30Speaker 6: almost some almost were much younger, and you know, the
- 29:33Speaker 6: physical contact and you know, driving the lane and and
- 29:37Speaker 6: and you know, the big guys standing under there and
- 29:39Speaker 6: trying to you know, swat down the you know, the
- 29:42Speaker 6: ball defensively. I mean, there's just it's changed so much.
- 29:47Speaker 6: I mean, you know, to to create an atmosphere like
- 29:51Speaker 6: they have that it's you know, kind of permeated all
- 29:54Speaker 6: of basketball college as well. But yeah, I I could
- 29:58Speaker 6: do with less three point attempts. I really could.
- 30:02Speaker 5: That's my feeling to goo.
- 30:06Speaker 4: Basketball has changed probably more than any of the other
- 30:12Speaker 4: major sports over the years. So JB's point. In the
- 30:21Speaker 4: Boston game that is going on right now, there's two
- 30:24Speaker 4: minutes and nineteen seconds left in overtime. It's Boston against
- 30:28Speaker 4: the Pacers. The Boston has attempted fifty four three point
- 30:35Speaker 4: shots wow to one hundred and four field goals. They
- 30:43Speaker 4: have had twenty seven free throws. Now the Pacers have
- 30:47Speaker 4: only shot attempted thirty six three pointers. So between the two,
- 30:53Speaker 4: you're at what ninety ninety three pointer shots you attempted.
- 31:01Speaker 4: That has changed the game so much. Like you think
- 31:05Speaker 4: back about like the Bad Boys era, and you talk about,
- 31:09Speaker 4: you know, defense, and there is no defense anymore because
- 31:14Speaker 4: all they're doing is putting up these threes. I missed
- 31:19Speaker 4: the old game. Why I could watch the old game.
- 31:24Speaker 4: This new game is hard to watch. And that's why
- 31:27Speaker 4: I say, of all of the sports, this one has
- 31:30Speaker 4: changed the most. I think in my opinion.
- 31:33Speaker 3: Well, i'll tell you what.
- 31:33Speaker 1: I'll make my answer short as I can make an answer.
- 31:38Speaker 1: It is unwatchable period. There's a reason why we don't
- 31:44Speaker 1: get the NBA ticket in this place because it.
- 31:46Speaker 3: Is awful entertainment.
- 31:49Speaker 1: I'd rather be doing these shows, nine million of them,
- 31:52Speaker 1: than watching one of those games. And yes, George and
- 31:55Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to be coause a Bad Boys era,
- 31:58Speaker 1: much better brand of basket and why it isn't the
- 32:01Speaker 1: way it used to be to me is just sick.
- 32:04Speaker 1: But you know what, the NBA, if this is a
- 32:06Speaker 1: product that they choose to put on the floor line.
- 32:09Speaker 1: But you're going to have a hard time with all
- 32:11Speaker 1: the gimmicks that you're trying to get people interested in
- 32:13Speaker 1: the game. When you took the best element out of it,
- 32:16Speaker 1: and that was defense in the physicality that made the
- 32:19Speaker 1: game popular back in the eighties, nineties and earlier, the
- 32:22Speaker 1: two thousand dollars shifted away to this. Okay, So from
- 32:27Speaker 1: one sick NBA subject to another one.
- 32:30Speaker 3: Okay.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Charles Barkley on Joel Embiid's load management, We're not steel workers,
- 32:37Speaker 1: we're not nurses. We're playing basketball at most four days away.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Really seriously, Yes, Chuck Barkley, I agree with that, But
- 32:47Speaker 1: Joel Embiid load management, that's another thing that has actually
- 32:51Speaker 1: made the NBA as woeful as it is. We're not
- 32:55Speaker 1: going to be gaining any NBA followers or fans. But
- 32:59Speaker 1: you know what, there's perception and there is reality. And
- 33:02Speaker 1: Charlo Barkley is like everybody else out there, only with
- 33:06Speaker 1: a larger platform, and his voice is definitely on target.
- 33:09Speaker 1: All right, Joe take it from there.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Listen, the whole load management thing is, you know, ridiculous.
- 33:17Speaker 2: Play four times a week. You're getting millions of dollars
- 33:19Speaker 2: to play. If you can't play four times a week,
- 33:22Speaker 2: and then you shouldn't collect millions of dollars. You can't
- 33:26Speaker 2: have it both ways. If you want to get paid
- 33:28Speaker 2: the money, you want people to come and watch the
- 33:30Speaker 2: game and go, you know, sign up to your package.
- 33:34Speaker 2: You want to get advertising, you got to play the game.
- 33:37Speaker 2: This is just it's said. It's at most if you
- 33:41Speaker 2: play a full game, it's forty eight minutes, and you
- 33:45Speaker 2: play forty eight minutes times for it's even two hundred minutes.
- 33:48Speaker 2: You can't do that in one week. Get out of here.
- 33:51Speaker 2: That's just pathetic.
- 33:54Speaker 3: Now, well, no, only you have to add what we
- 33:56Speaker 3: can add.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard is a guy that gets a lot of money,
- 33:59Speaker 1: doesn't play games.
- 34:00Speaker 3: And I'll turn over to George.
- 34:03Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you know here he got one of
- 34:05Speaker 6: the top players obviously not only on the seventy six ers,
- 34:08Speaker 6: but the whole league. Fifth load management is a joke,
- 34:12Speaker 6: and it really is. And and the fact that the Sixers, uh,
- 34:17Speaker 6: you know, we're find what was it one hundred grand
- 34:19Speaker 6: or some crazy figure because of you know, you know,
- 34:24Speaker 6: come on, now, you know you're playing for the fans,
- 34:27Speaker 6: you're playing for you say you are, You're playing for
- 34:31Speaker 6: your team, but also your city and your fandom. And
- 34:34Speaker 6: the fact of the matter is is that And I
- 34:37Speaker 6: believe you know, Charles is a great guy to have
- 34:40Speaker 6: anytime and speaking out like he does. This is really absurd.
- 34:44Speaker 6: What's going on with this load management? There's no logical explanation.
- 34:49Speaker 6: I am sorry. And like you said, those people out
- 34:52Speaker 6: there working on the assembly line, working in construction jobs whatever,
- 34:56Speaker 6: doctors you know, emergency room whatever, you know, putting in
- 35:02Speaker 6: hours after five hours, after hours, you know, and in
- 35:05Speaker 6: their occupation. And to see these guys take nights off,
- 35:08Speaker 6: take load management time off, orget it.
- 35:11Speaker 5: It stinks. It's stinks.
- 35:14Speaker 2: Sure, I'm sorry to interrupt. Five to one Yankees bases
- 35:18Speaker 2: loaded for the Dodgers, and who else will be up?
- 35:20Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman.
- 35:23Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. We'll see if he gets another one.
- 35:26Speaker 1: If he does it once, we're get to ban its
- 35:28Speaker 1: double Nickels. We'll keep your post if they go along. Candy,
- 35:32Speaker 1: go ahead. What's your take on load management?
- 35:36Speaker 4: Okay? Joe says, they play four four times a week.
- 35:41Speaker 4: I work five days a week, I work fifty two
- 35:45Speaker 4: weeks out of the year. Yes, I get vacation. I'm lucky.
- 35:51Speaker 4: I'm one of the lucky. I get four weeks of vacation.
- 35:55Speaker 4: They get how many weeks of vacation because they're off.
- 35:58Speaker 4: Let's face it, all of them are off at least
- 36:01Speaker 4: starting in June, June, July, August, September, they get four
- 36:06Speaker 4: months off. Now, on top of all of that, the
- 36:12Speaker 4: average ticket price for the NBA this year is ninety
- 36:17Speaker 4: four dollars for a seat, ninety four dollars. Now, if
- 36:21Speaker 4: I'm gonna pay ninety four dollars to go see whoever
- 36:26Speaker 4: it is I want to see, and you're gonna tell
- 36:28Speaker 4: me now that they're gonna have the night off because
- 36:29Speaker 4: they need load management. That's a bunch of bull crap.
- 36:33Speaker 4: And you are gonna drive more and more fans away
- 36:39Speaker 4: or casual fans. You're just gonna push it, push and
- 36:45Speaker 4: push away the people, the average fan, the families, because
- 36:50Speaker 4: let's face it, what family family of four if your
- 36:53Speaker 4: average prices are ninety four dollars are gonna go can
- 36:57Speaker 4: go to a game?
- 37:01Speaker 1: Well, So the NBA has to have the NBA Cup
- 37:04Speaker 1: to make the season interesting during the year, and of
- 37:07Speaker 1: course they have their playing game at the end of
- 37:09Speaker 1: the year.
- 37:09Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, But.
- 37:11Speaker 1: Meanwhile I mentioned it twice. Right, three pointers are killing
- 37:15Speaker 1: the game. Load management is so you can come up
- 37:17Speaker 1: with all the gimmicks you want. It doesn't make a
- 37:19Speaker 1: bit of difference at all the sport. To me, it's unwatchable.
- 37:23Speaker 1: I don't want to be bothered with it. Why do
- 37:25Speaker 1: I bring up NBA topics on here? The only good
- 37:28Speaker 1: about the NBA. They have great things for us to
- 37:29Speaker 1: talk about, so I can't complain about that. Also, Freddie
- 37:32Speaker 1: Freeman with it with a single driving home two runs
- 37:36Speaker 1: the Yankees. There's two outs in this contest. The Yankees
- 37:39Speaker 1: still lead the Dodgers five to three in the top
- 37:42Speaker 1: half the fifth inning.
- 37:43Speaker 3: All right.
- 37:43Speaker 1: Final topic of the night is one that Kandy and
- 37:46Speaker 1: I should be all too familiar with it George.
- 37:48Speaker 3: Okay.
- 37:49Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions have won four or five games versus
- 37:52Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. They lost November twenty third, twenty
- 37:56Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty nine to twenty two.
- 37:58Speaker 3: They won thirty four to me.
- 38:00Speaker 1: On September twenty eighth or twenty twenty three, they won
- 38:03Speaker 1: twenty to sixteen. January eighth of twenty twenty three, they
- 38:06Speaker 1: won fifteen to nine November sixth, twenty twenty two, and
- 38:10Speaker 1: they won thirty seven thirty on June ninth, twenty twenty two.
- 38:15Speaker 1: Who was winning on Sunday, Joe.
- 38:19Speaker 2: Detroit Lions. I don't see how anybody's beating them at
- 38:23Speaker 2: this point there. They played a horrible game last week
- 38:29Speaker 2: and they scored fifty two points, you know, I mean,
- 38:34Speaker 2: how many yards do golf have? Eighty eight eighty four
- 38:39Speaker 2: if I remember right? Yeah, I think you're correct. I mean,
- 38:42Speaker 2: and they still had fifty something points. You know, if
- 38:46Speaker 2: the Packers are beating this team this year, Packers are
- 38:49Speaker 2: doing great, their way ahead of where they should be
- 38:51Speaker 2: on the rebuild, you know, and they're fun to watch.
- 38:54Speaker 2: But it ain't happening right now, George.
- 39:00Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I mean this is a This is a
- 39:02Speaker 6: game that obviously a lot of a lot of the
- 39:05Speaker 6: players from both teams and their fans had circled on
- 39:08Speaker 6: the calendar, as as Scott mentioned, you know, and and
- 39:12Speaker 6: Candy's been witnessed to two of many of these games
- 39:16Speaker 6: when they battled Detroit. It's great football, it really is.
- 39:20Speaker 6: And some of them have been knocking each other out
- 39:23Speaker 6: of the playoff picture or a hail Mary pass like
- 39:27Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers through at the at the game in ford
- 39:30Speaker 6: Field that.
- 39:31Speaker 5: We were at.
- 39:32Speaker 6: I agree with what Joe says. I mean, they are
- 39:35Speaker 6: a little bit ahead of their pace. I mean, you know,
- 39:37Speaker 6: they're they're playing good ball, the Packers, but the Lions
- 39:40Speaker 6: they're rolling and six and one, and the different things
- 39:45Speaker 6: they showed last Sunday, like you said, with their quarterback
- 39:49Speaker 6: not even getting one hundred yards passing and you're winning.
- 39:51Speaker 5: The fifty two points.
- 39:53Speaker 6: Of course, they had turnovers they capitalized on, and obviously
- 39:57Speaker 6: special teams had a lot to do with Detroit's big
- 40:00Speaker 6: win over Tennessee.
- 40:01Speaker 5: But I always look forward.
- 40:03Speaker 6: You know, these are these are the divisional matchups, as
- 40:06Speaker 6: they used to call it, the Black and Blue Division.
- 40:09Speaker 6: And I know there's question whether Jordan Love will be
- 40:12Speaker 6: able to play, obviously with this growing injury, but even
- 40:17Speaker 6: if he doesn't, it'll still be a hell of a game.
- 40:20Speaker 6: We're looking forward to seeing it. But I wouldn't count
- 40:23Speaker 6: the Lions to lose the way they're playing right now.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Well, go there, Candy.
- 40:32Speaker 4: The all time series, Packers lead one hundred and four
- 40:37Speaker 4: to seventy six to seven Green Bays one hundred and
- 40:41Speaker 4: four regular season wins over the Lions are the second
- 40:45Speaker 4: most it has against any team, only one hundred and
- 40:50Speaker 4: six wins over Chicago. Believe it or not, but yes,
- 40:56Speaker 4: the Lions have had our numbers more as of lately
- 41:00Speaker 4: because the Lions are a much more improved team. It
- 41:05Speaker 4: will be a very good contest. These two teams play
- 41:08Speaker 4: each other tough no matter what the regular season the
- 41:13Speaker 4: rest of their regular season record is. Detroit is obviously
- 41:19Speaker 4: firing on all cylinders. Green Bay is finding ways to
- 41:23Speaker 4: win and even win with Malik Willis because now we
- 41:27Speaker 4: have not lost knock on wood with him. So I
- 41:31Speaker 4: think it'll be an interesting matchup. And it also is
- 41:34Speaker 4: in Green Bay, which does favor hopefully a hometown crowd.
- 41:40Speaker 4: Now I will the one caveat to that is this
- 41:43Speaker 4: is the Milwaukee season ticket holder game. For those of
- 41:48Speaker 4: you that don't know, the Packers used to play for
- 41:51Speaker 4: three to four games every year down in Milwaukee at
- 41:55Speaker 4: the old County Stadium. They kept those season ticket holders
- 41:59Speaker 4: that had the they now call them the Gold Package
- 42:02Speaker 4: up in Lambeau and so there are a bunch of
- 42:05Speaker 4: people from Milwaukee that still have season tickets now, whether
- 42:08Speaker 4: they go and make the trip up to Green Bay.
- 42:13Speaker 4: I can tell you, because I obviously am from Milwaukee,
- 42:17Speaker 4: that there are some fan base sites on Facebook that
- 42:20Speaker 4: are asking all the Milwaukee season ticket holders to not
- 42:24Speaker 4: sell their tickets to Lions fans. And we've all heard
- 42:29Speaker 4: that before, like that happens, But I can tell you
- 42:33Speaker 4: that the fact that it is in Lambo does give
- 42:36Speaker 4: us a little better of a chance. You guys are
- 42:40Speaker 4: really tough at home. You're tough anywhere, but you're really
- 42:43Speaker 4: tough at home. So I'm glad that the first meeting
- 42:46Speaker 4: is in Lambeau.
- 42:48Speaker 1: Well, I think the Lions are glad that the first
- 42:50Speaker 1: meeting is in Lambeau at the beginning of November. That
- 42:53Speaker 1: it would be later on in the year. I'm not
- 42:56Speaker 1: saying it'll be very good at the end of the year.
- 42:58Speaker 1: But I've been to Lambo a few times. He's never
- 43:00Speaker 1: been to Lambo. You have to put that on your
- 43:02Speaker 1: bucket list. I've been there a few times. Just unbelievable.
- 43:05Speaker 3: You know, you're in.
- 43:06Speaker 1: All of the history around the whole place is remarkable.
- 43:09Speaker 1: But yeah, I realized that Green Bay has the all time.
- 43:15Speaker 3: Series.
- 43:16Speaker 1: You know, they won over one hundred games against the Lions.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Talking about playing against a lot of bad Lion teams.
- 43:22Speaker 1: I also was at that Hail Mary that George and
- 43:25Speaker 1: I we were both at on Candy's birthday, And while
- 43:28Speaker 1: it was painful to watch the Lions lose, I have
- 43:30Speaker 1: to say that the soft side of me was glad
- 43:33Speaker 1: that they wanted for Candy because unfortunately her mom passed
- 43:37Speaker 1: away weeks earlier, so Katie got to see her only
- 43:41Speaker 1: game in ford Field. Turned out to be a classic
- 43:44Speaker 1: for sure, but that'll be an interesting game to watch.
- 43:47Speaker 1: And yes, the X factor in this game is Malik Willis. Now,
- 43:51Speaker 1: as I understand today that Jared Goff sat out today's practice,
- 43:58Speaker 1: I know he's nursing an ankle injury, just a sign
- 44:01Speaker 1: of caution, no big deal, but you might as well
- 44:04Speaker 1: go ahead and get hand in hook or a few
- 44:07Speaker 1: reps just in case you need them. But when you
- 44:10Speaker 1: talk about beating Tennessee, the reason why the Tennessee Titans
- 44:14Speaker 1: are so poor as they gave up on Malik Willis
- 44:16Speaker 1: and didn't give this guy enough time to develop there.
- 44:19Speaker 1: Look where the Titans are now. They're sorry as you
- 44:21Speaker 1: can be, and one in seven it's only going to
- 44:24Speaker 1: get worse. What quarterback are they get to draft? And
- 44:26Speaker 1: wreck the next time. I don't even know, but I'm
- 44:29Speaker 1: definitely looking forward to the game for sure.
- 44:31Speaker 3: What Candy.
- 44:33Speaker 4: So, as you compare the two teams so far this year,
- 44:37Speaker 4: when you look at offense, total yards, Detroit is fourth,
- 44:43Speaker 4: the Packers are sixth. Passing yards, Detroit is eleventh, The
- 44:47Speaker 4: Packers are ninth. Rushing yards Lions six, Packers fifth. Points,
- 44:55Speaker 4: you guys are first, Packers are six. Third down conversions
- 44:59Speaker 4: you you guys are doing much better with them. You're
- 45:01Speaker 4: seventh and we're fifteenth. Now on defense, total yards, you
- 45:06Speaker 4: guys are twentieth. We're ranked sixteenth. Passing yards, you guys
- 45:10Speaker 4: are ranked twenty seventh, we're ranked nineteenth. Rushing yards, you
- 45:16Speaker 4: guys are ranked fifth. We're ranked tenth. Total points, you
- 45:21Speaker 4: guys are eighth, we're eleventh. Third down conversions for defense,
- 45:25Speaker 4: you guys are first and we're ninth. So it's a
- 45:28Speaker 4: lot closer than I think a lot of people if
- 45:31Speaker 4: you look at those, those numbers are a lot closer
- 45:34Speaker 4: than I think most people think.
- 45:37Speaker 1: This game might be the main thing I believe the
- 45:41Speaker 1: Lions have to do before the tread line trade deadline.
- 45:44Speaker 1: If you have to do it, but I don't put
- 45:45Speaker 1: nothing past Brad Holmes. Is they need to bost of
- 45:48Speaker 1: that pass rush is what they need to do to.
- 45:50Speaker 3: Make up for the loss of Aton Hutkinson.
- 45:52Speaker 1: They're managing without it so far, but I don't think
- 45:54Speaker 1: you can win a Super Bowl without.
- 45:56Speaker 3: A dominant pass rushing guy.
- 45:59Speaker 1: And I think that well, the Lions are just not
- 46:01Speaker 1: with an overpay, which is they'll probably make them move
- 46:03Speaker 1: closer to the deadline and see who's willing to sell low.
- 46:08Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 46:10Speaker 6: Yeah, I was gonna say, Scott, you're you're right on,
- 46:13Speaker 6: because you know, when you're that close to trying to
- 46:16Speaker 6: get something that's obviously been unachievable, unachievable in Detroit, getting
- 46:21Speaker 6: to a Super Bowl game, Yeah, you got to pull
- 46:23Speaker 6: out all the stops. Unfortunately, with Aiden Hudgsonson hurt, there's
- 46:28Speaker 6: still possibility could still make the playoffs. We don't know that,
- 46:30Speaker 6: but the fact is there's guys out there, and you're right,
- 46:34Speaker 6: Brad Holmes has gotta and you know, make make a
- 46:37Speaker 6: signing or two because that that defense. I mean, you know,
- 46:42Speaker 6: even the first half against Tennessee, I mean they did
- 46:45Speaker 6: not play well at all, the Lions defense, and uh,
- 46:48Speaker 6: and it's got.
- 46:49Speaker 5: To get upgraded. They've got to have more pressure on
- 46:51Speaker 5: the quarterback definitely.
- 46:54Speaker 1: Well, there's some edvergers out there. Just how much draft
- 46:58Speaker 1: capital does he want to give up for?
- 46:59Speaker 6: Right?
- 47:00Speaker 5: Right?
- 47:00Speaker 3: But I think he'll make him move closer to the
- 47:02Speaker 3: deadline for sure.
- 47:03Speaker 1: So anybody else, anybody want to I have a few
- 47:06Speaker 1: minutes for a couple of party shots.
- 47:08Speaker 3: Joe, do you have one?
- 47:09Speaker 4: We should quick say that the Yankees Dodgers game is
- 47:13Speaker 4: now tied five all in the bottom of the fifth.
- 47:16Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, Dodger put a five spot on the Yankees.
- 47:19Speaker 1: It's gonna get interesting in the rest of the way.
- 47:21Speaker 1: All right, Now, I'll go back to what I said before.
- 47:23Speaker 1: Anybody have any party shots for making Really they're doing
- 47:26Speaker 1: well en theough time.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll go. I'll start. Yankees made a huge
- 47:32Speaker 2: splash a couple of years ago. They got this cy
- 47:35Speaker 2: Young Award winner named Garrett Cole. He was the answer
- 47:39Speaker 2: to our problems where we haven't won a World Series
- 47:41Speaker 2: since two thousand and nine. Forty million dollars a year
- 47:45Speaker 2: to play one out of every five days. And guess
- 47:48Speaker 2: what when the lights shine biggest on him, it's five
- 47:54Speaker 2: to five in a game We must win the World
- 47:57Speaker 2: Series and Garrett Cole did not do whish job as usual.
- 48:02Speaker 2: Forty million wasted dollars. Thank you, Garrick Cole.
- 48:07Speaker 1: And by the way, did Carlos stand is currently at
- 48:09Speaker 1: the plate right now? He has seven home runs this postseason, George.
- 48:12Speaker 1: What about you Well?
- 48:14Speaker 6: On a personal note, I want to say we lost
- 48:18Speaker 6: one of our media contacts here, Chad Krunk has left
- 48:22Speaker 6: the Detroit Tigers, and I know that Chad has helped
- 48:26Speaker 6: out Scott and Candy and myself throughout the several years
- 48:30Speaker 6: that we've known you.
- 48:30Speaker 5: Scott. As Chad, we want to.
- 48:33Speaker 6: Wish you the best of luck whatever your new endeavor
- 48:35Speaker 6: carries for you. It was great having you in the
- 48:39Speaker 6: Tigers public relations department. And again we want to thank
- 48:44Speaker 6: you the Southporda Tribune, the Detroit Monitor, the Motors City
- 48:47Speaker 6: Tribune for all the courtesies that you've extended and we're
- 48:52Speaker 6: going to miss you. That's a tough assignment. It's a
- 48:55Speaker 6: tough job, as we know, being a team's PR director.
- 48:58Speaker 6: But best of luck to you, Chad.
- 49:01Speaker 3: What about you, Candy Well, I'm going to.
- 49:05Speaker 4: Go back to somebody that we haven't talked about. Well,
- 49:10Speaker 4: we haven't talked about it here on, but congratulations to
- 49:15Speaker 4: bo Ryan. He was. He spent thirty two years coaching
- 49:22Speaker 4: in basketball. He was selected for the Naismith Memorial Basketball
- 49:27Speaker 4: Hall of Fame. He is a legendary coach and will
- 49:32Speaker 4: be enshrined among basketball greats in the class of twenty
- 49:36Speaker 4: twenty four he was. He coached for the Badgers for
- 49:43Speaker 4: oh gosh, I can't I can't even tell you. I mean,
- 49:47Speaker 4: he started in UW Plattfill went to UWM, and then
- 49:51Speaker 4: he went to the Badgers for an incredible run. He
- 49:56Speaker 4: was at the game this last weekend and they had
- 50:01Speaker 4: players from twenty fourteen in twenty fifteen when they had
- 50:05Speaker 4: those great runs that joined him on the court at Madison.
- 50:13Speaker 4: Kudos to him. He was a great coach. So that's
- 50:17Speaker 4: my parting shot.
- 50:18Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll tell you what my parting shot is,
- 50:21Speaker 1: actually not a party shot, a party comment. There's a
- 50:24Speaker 1: guy that I'm at a National Sports Media Association name
- 50:26Speaker 1: is Steve Holman Senior, who on opening night called his
- 50:30Speaker 1: three thousand consecutive game on radio for the Atlanta Hawks.
- 50:37Speaker 3: Congratulations Steve.
- 50:38Speaker 1: I'm hoping to get him on a show at some
- 50:40Speaker 1: point or another. We've talked about it. It's just a
- 50:43Speaker 1: matter of getting the schedules in the situation to work out.
- 50:45Speaker 1: But Steve Holman three thousand consecutive games on radio. If
- 50:49Speaker 1: that guy is not an iron man, then tell me
- 50:52Speaker 1: what the heck an iron man is.
