Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Tuesday.
- 0:00Speaker 2: That feels like a Monday and it feels like fall.
- 0:04Speaker 2: It feels like football season. The huddle Fox sports radio,
- 0:06Speaker 2: Wisconsin drew billion Armin bringing it to you after a
- 0:10Speaker 2: glorious relaxing weekend that kind of set the stage for
- 0:14Speaker 2: what's to come.
- 0:15Speaker 1: The Badgers are off and.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Running Packers play on Sunday at us bank stadium.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Yes.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Got professional tackle football on Wednesday and Thursday. Thursday will
- 0:25Speaker 2: be that 10 a.m. Kickoff in Melbourne.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
- 0:29Speaker 2: That will be the test case of all jet lag
- 0:31Speaker 2: text cases because the Rams leaving like today, right?
- 0:35Speaker 1: They're leaving later today. And the 49ers have been there
- 0:38Speaker 1: for a week.
- 0:39Speaker 4: I was going to say like five or six days. Yeah,
- 0:40Speaker 4: they'll have been there for a full week by the
- 0:42Speaker 4: time the Rams get there.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Who's going to be better acclimated?
- 0:44Speaker 3: Well, Drew, that was one of your favorite topics du
- 0:47Speaker 3: jour is getting annoyed at the conversations on ESPN. We've
- 0:51Speaker 3: been talking about that. And they were debating that. Who's
- 0:54Speaker 3: out itinerary. Well, that's actually an interesting conversation. Actually the
- 0:58Speaker 3: leads to the game that they're going to kick off with.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Yeah. We can talk.
- 1:02Speaker 3: Let's talk about it. Let's talk about airlines. Let's talk
- 1:05Speaker 3: about the aircraft. I mean, are you fly? What's one flying?
- 1:08Speaker 1: And what are you? One's on a Boeing. One's on
- 1:10Speaker 1: an air bus. That's the type of stuff we like,
- 1:12Speaker 1: right guys? That's the type of stuff, but you're right.
- 1:14Speaker 3: That would be good. And it will be a test case.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Cause they were debating that. So that'll be a fun
- 1:17Speaker 3: one coming up Thursday and openly open the season.
- 1:20Speaker 2: We're taking game balls and kicks and buying or selling, uh,
- 1:23Speaker 2: I guess we can combine this when you're buying or
- 1:25Speaker 2: selling that the decision to give Michigan another play was
- 1:29Speaker 2: proper and just.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Let's get into that.
- 1:33Speaker 4: Right. Let's get into that. I would I would sell
- 1:35Speaker 4: that one. I am going to buy, however, a large
- 1:40Speaker 4: lakefront property. If I'm the clock operator on the money
- 1:44Speaker 4: that the big 10 potentially gave me to be true
- 1:46Speaker 4: that he.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Was Connor Stallions, his uncle.
- 1:48Speaker 4: Oh wait.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Oh my God. He was reading the manifesto drew. He
- 1:52Speaker 1: was reading. He was, they had to have been reading
- 1:54Speaker 1: Connor Stallions run.
- 1:55Speaker 4: Now there's a lot of different ways to go through this.
- 1:57Speaker 4: There's a lot of different frustrations with it. College football
- 2:00Speaker 4: has a lot of problems. The replay issue has been
- 2:04Speaker 4: one for a long, long period of time. And now
- 2:07Speaker 4: only gets reemphasized when you get a situation like this,
- 2:10Speaker 4: where we get a Canva Photoshop after the game, two
- 2:14Speaker 4: hours later of no.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Well, actually you guys were looking at the wrong clock.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Here's the problem. You guys are looking at the clock.
- 2:20Speaker 1: We had a special clock.
- 2:21Speaker 4: You guys are looking at the clock that like, I
- 2:23Speaker 4: don't know, maybe the players on the field are looking at, right?
- 2:25Speaker 4: Like you guys are looking at this weird clock that
- 2:27Speaker 4: everybody's looked at for a hundred years. We got a
- 2:29Speaker 4: super special secret clock, different clock.
- 2:32Speaker 1: That where is it? We don't know. You don't know.
- 2:34Speaker 1: We only know.
- 2:35Speaker 4: You guys will learn about it maybe at some certain
- 2:37Speaker 4: important time, but this one goes down to the nanosecond,
- 2:40Speaker 4: and that one had. 1 on the clock. That means
- 2:43Speaker 4: there's a full second. That means that we get to
- 2:44Speaker 4: run one more mulligan. Listen, Drew, I say it a
- 2:47Speaker 4: lot of times. I'm a really, really good second-shot golfer.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Michigan just needed a breakfast ball on the Hail Mary.
- 2:53Speaker 2: I mean, it's still, and they should have, they're still 90%
- 2:56Speaker 2: to not complete.
- 2:57Speaker 1: They should have lost anyway.
- 2:58Speaker 4: But one that when they throw that second on the clock,
- 3:02Speaker 4: didn't every bit of your sports mind say, Oh yeah, here.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Oh, this is about 50, 50. Like Aaron in Detroit.
- 3:09Speaker 1: When I got the face, man, it's about a 50,
- 3:11Speaker 1: 50 chance.
- 3:12Speaker 3: And, and, It's one of those situations because you do think, like,
- 3:15Speaker 3: is Michigan really going to lose this game?
- 3:16Speaker 1: And they didn't. Like, that's the thing about it. You
- 3:18Speaker 1: think to yourself, wow.
- 3:19Speaker 3: But I know Dave Portnoy is out there like William
- 3:22Speaker 3: Wallace fighting the mob. But the reality is, how can
- 3:24Speaker 3: you trust Michigan anymore anyway? Like, with all the weirdness
- 3:27Speaker 3: that's going on there.
- 3:28Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
- 3:28Speaker 1: It's like, it is what it is.
- 3:30Speaker 3: But Western Michigan still could have stopped.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Him on a hill.
- 3:34Speaker 2: I mean, you couldn't have had a Feinbaum. was like
- 3:38Speaker 2: beside himself too. He's like, Oh yeah, the happiest guy
- 3:40Speaker 2: in the country, Greg Shiano. Cause this took the pressure
- 3:42Speaker 2: off of what he did. This is supposed to be
- 3:44Speaker 2: the best league. Look at this league. And it's like, okay,
- 3:47Speaker 2: let's talk in November.
- 3:49Speaker 4: Well, and that's where Armin, I didn't even see it
- 3:51Speaker 4: as much of a trusting Michigan thing. That is a
- 3:54Speaker 4: big 10 deal of, of replay reviews and things like that.
- 3:58Speaker 4: And like for this to be up to the conferences,
- 4:01Speaker 4: you are going to be, littered with scrutiny of this.
- 4:05Speaker 4: And why can it, this was the conversation we had
- 4:08Speaker 4: on Sunday. Why is that not locked in with the NCAA?
- 4:11Speaker 4: Why is it not uniform around anything? I think the
- 4:13Speaker 4: NCAA is looking at a lot of different rules to
- 4:15Speaker 4: try to have uniform.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 4:17Speaker 4: Right.
- 4:17Speaker 1: They don't have any kind of powerful governing body. This
- 4:20Speaker 1: is deep.
- 4:21Speaker 4: This is going to come down to the conferences until then.
- 4:24Speaker 4: And you're going to get weird situations like this when
- 4:27Speaker 4: there's going to be massive money involved. Now, do I
- 4:29Speaker 4: believe that somebody called somebody to say, make sure you
- 4:32Speaker 4: put the second on the clock or, I don't know
- 4:33Speaker 4: that the Buffalo wild wings commercials are real, right? Like
- 4:37Speaker 4: back in the day when my man got under the
- 4:39Speaker 4: hood and said, Hey guys, what do you think we.
- 4:41Speaker 5: Should do here?
- 4:42Speaker 4: We're not ready to go yet. Can you send this
- 4:43Speaker 4: thing into overtime? That's what it seemed like. We need
- 4:45Speaker 4: one extra play. But I just, you can't let that
- 4:50Speaker 4: be the way a game ends. And for Lance Taylor
- 4:52Speaker 4: and company walking off that field, first off, that might
- 4:55Speaker 4: be the most jacked head coach I've ever seen in
- 4:57Speaker 4: my entire life. That Western Michigan coach. He was cut
- 5:01Speaker 4: yoked as he's walking off. He throws up the W
- 5:03Speaker 4: walking onto the field celebrating. And once they threw that
- 5:07Speaker 4: thing up on the clock, you knew it was wraps.
- 5:08Speaker 4: Like you knew there was going to be no way
- 5:11Speaker 4: they were not going to be able to complete that
- 5:12Speaker 4: ball again. And there's a couple of arrowhead Warhawks on
- 5:15Speaker 4: that Western Michigan team. So I was pulling big time
- 5:17Speaker 4: for the Broncos to man on for on Saturday night
- 5:20Speaker 4: and they got absolutely hosed it just.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Stinks they should have won and i felt like they
- 5:26Speaker 3: could have won and i wish they would have won
- 5:28Speaker 3: and they didn't billy.
- 5:28Speaker 4: But the interesting thing will be and this is the
- 5:31Speaker 4: buy or sell that i would have you know people
- 5:33Speaker 4: want uh it to go more into a uniform way
- 5:36Speaker 4: of selecting the playoff this is why are you buying
- 5:39Speaker 4: or selling this is why you have a playoff committee
- 5:42Speaker 4: and not a step ladder approach for a BCS selection
- 5:47Speaker 4: process for it to be online. Because if this was
- 5:50Speaker 4: only computerized, that would count as a win. It's a
- 5:53Speaker 4: win when it's human beings discussing it and lining up
- 5:55Speaker 4: the playoff format. Say Michigan goes from the outhouse to
- 6:00Speaker 4: the penthouse and beats Oklahoma this week. And then all
- 6:03Speaker 4: of a sudden they're sitting there on the, on the
- 6:05Speaker 4: cut line of 11, 12 or 13 drew and And it's, well,
- 6:09Speaker 4: they're 10 and two. They're actually nine and three. Cause
- 6:13Speaker 4: they should have lost here to Western Michigan. I wonder
- 6:15Speaker 4: how that conversation will flare up if they get there.
- 6:18Speaker 4: But the way that looked like, and Bryce Underwood being quarterback,
- 6:21Speaker 4: it looks like they're going to be battling for Wisconsin
- 6:23Speaker 4: spot right there in the seven and five, six and
- 6:25Speaker 4: six category.
- 6:26Speaker 1: And that's my thing too. Billy is like, you're right.
- 6:28Speaker 1: How well the way people view this, like what bothered
- 6:31Speaker 1: me more about that game. And I don't, this makes
- 6:33Speaker 1: any sense.
- 6:34Speaker 3: I felt like Michigan should have felt more shame about
- 6:36Speaker 3: almost losing the game. even though they ended up winning
- 6:38Speaker 3: and that's the goal, I suppose, is to win the game.
- 6:40Speaker 3: But like, there's still a storm in the field. And
- 6:42Speaker 3: I'm like, none of you people walked in here thinking
- 6:45Speaker 3: you were going to need a Hail Mary to beat
- 6:46Speaker 3: Western Michigan and you're storming the field, dude. And I'm not,
- 6:49Speaker 3: it's really not about like storming the field gatekeeping.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Yeah, it usually is. I get that for me. It
- 6:56Speaker 1: really isn't about this time, but more like, You should
- 6:58Speaker 1: feel more shame. I mean, you should feel more shame
- 7:02Speaker 1: about barely beating a team in a bye game.
- 7:05Speaker 3: And, like, that's what it was. And, you know, I mean,
- 7:07Speaker 3: I'm a Marquette fan. Obviously, a lot of college sports fans,
- 7:10Speaker 3: Badger fans. We've had all those moments in basketball where
- 7:12Speaker 3: you barely beat the team at home in a bye game. And, like,
- 7:15Speaker 3: you're like, oh, man, we escaped. And you're leaving the arena.
- 7:17Speaker 1: And you're like, that was embarrassing. Feel more shame.
- 7:19Speaker 3: But you're storming the field, yelling on Twitter, Portnoy this.
- 7:23Speaker 3: I'm like, it just annoyed me. To see them celebrate
- 7:25Speaker 3: that the way they did.
- 7:26Speaker 4: You didn't get a take of sarcasm from the Portnoy thing?
- 7:30Speaker 1: I don't from him. I didn't feel that. Oh, I
- 7:33Speaker 1: got quite a bit of sarcasm from that one.
- 7:35Speaker 4: However, when I watched Kyle Whittingham after the game, that
- 7:40Speaker 4: was who I saw.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Feel some shame.
- 7:43Speaker 4: He was looking around as he's talking after the game
- 7:45Speaker 4: to the young lady from NBC.
- 7:47Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, yeah, we won, I guess.
- 7:50Speaker 4: But like there was a lot of moments where you
- 7:52Speaker 4: could hear Whittingham saying, yeah, they deserve to win the game.
- 7:56Speaker 4: Apparently we did. I'm paraphrasing his, not his words, not
- 8:00Speaker 4: exactly his words. But again, that's where the, I'm not
- 8:04Speaker 4: going to take what the 19 to 21 year olds
- 8:06Speaker 4: are doing. as the damnation of the entire fan base
- 8:11Speaker 4: or the, the, the echoing of the entire fan base,
- 8:14Speaker 4: the college kids ran onto the field after the game winner.
- 8:17Speaker 1: I'm not surprised.
- 8:19Speaker 4: Like I just, that will be the last part of
- 8:21Speaker 4: me to get frustrated amongst.
- 8:23Speaker 3: A lot of people are saying it disgraced their program
- 8:26Speaker 3: to storm the field.
- 8:27Speaker 4: Now that might be going a little too far. I mean,
- 8:30Speaker 4: Take it up with the parents that are paying the tuition.
- 8:33Speaker 4: I don't care at all about what the kids are
- 8:36Speaker 4: doing partying in college. Go live it up. Have yourself
- 8:39Speaker 4: a great time and run into the Ann Arbor bars.
- 8:42Speaker 4: I hope they frequented the bars after as much as
- 8:44Speaker 4: they did the field. That, to me, is the only thing.
- 8:45Speaker 1: I don't know. They don't drink anymore. That's what the
- 8:47Speaker 1: Gen Z, right?
- 8:48Speaker 3: I keep reading articles about that because it's the first
- 8:50Speaker 3: weekend of college, so we have articles about how they're partying.
- 8:53Speaker 1: And they don't drink anymore. That's totally different. Okay, so
- 8:56Speaker 1: that was.
- 8:57Speaker 3: An interesting buy or sell for the weekend. So I
- 9:00Speaker 3: have a game ball and kick to the ball, guys.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Let's go. And I do have a little side. If
- 9:03Speaker 1: you guys. OK, let's hear it. Let's hear it. Ball today.
- 9:08Speaker 5: Obviously, Luis.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Obviously. OK.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Give a kick to the ball.
- 9:10Speaker 5: Great counsel is pacing in the Cubs dugout. All right.
- 9:13Speaker 1: So I like. Oh, baby.
- 9:15Speaker 5: OK.
- 9:15Speaker 1: So my game ball is let's hear it for all
- 9:18Speaker 1: the fantasy football drafts this weekend. A big weekend. For
- 9:22Speaker 1: fantasy football drafts. I had two of them.
- 9:25Speaker 3: And the fantasy football draft. Is the last thing in society.
- 9:28Speaker 3: That's keeping us together. It's our annual chance to see friends.
- 9:31Speaker 3: To see family. To get together. To share memories. To
- 9:34Speaker 3: share stories on the year. It's basically in my opinion.
- 9:38Speaker 3: Replace high school reunions. It's the last thing going. In
- 9:41Speaker 3: our society, that really keeps us together and hanging out.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Oh, my God. I believe that. I believe that.
- 9:47Speaker 3: You're the in-person draft guy. I love in-person drafts. Now, Billy,
- 9:51Speaker 3: we were in one. I obviously didn't have it in person.
- 9:54Speaker 3: But you know what? Even the chance to get– and
- 9:56Speaker 3: I'm you know the group text some people like it
- 9:58Speaker 3: some people don't but it's like i just think i
- 10:02Speaker 3: would not see these people if it wasn't for this
- 10:05Speaker 3: so i love i love.
- 10:07Speaker 4: It come on now i just i can't you can't
- 10:11Speaker 4: armin there's a couple of things that i despise more.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Than an in-person.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Fantasy draft, but not much. I'm shocked at this take, Billy.
- 10:21Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I like hanging out with my friends. No,
- 10:25Speaker 3: that's not it.
- 10:26Speaker 4: That is not what the in-person draft is. It is
- 10:30Speaker 4: one guy's power trip to tell everybody about how you
- 10:33Speaker 4: need to figure out to find one... What, you can't
- 10:36Speaker 4: find four hours to go hang out with the guys?
- 10:38Speaker 4: You can't go and figure out how to hang out
- 10:40Speaker 4: with your friends? No, it's the one guy that decides
- 10:42Speaker 4: to shame everybody because he doesn't have anything else going
- 10:45Speaker 4: on on a Saturday. Sorry, we got to freaking work. Sorry,
- 10:49Speaker 4: people got to go to a high school reunion because
- 10:51Speaker 4: apparently that's the most important thing in the world. Or
- 10:54Speaker 4: God forbid, we have technology for the last 25 years
- 10:57Speaker 4: and we play fantasy football online where they do a
- 11:00Speaker 4: sweet database and they have a sweet program where Drew...
- 11:04Speaker 4: The 92nd clock is a 92nd clock, not jet.
- 11:08Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
- 11:09Speaker 1: I almost caught myself.
- 11:10Speaker 4: Not Jack over here sitting in the corner who takes
- 11:13Speaker 4: seven and a half minutes to go make a Jack
- 11:15Speaker 4: and Coke. And then all of a sudden you say, hey, buddy,
- 11:17Speaker 4: you're out. You've been on the clock for the last
- 11:18Speaker 4: five minutes.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Nobody's got to go get his nachos. Hold on one second.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Hold on one second. Let me look. Let me look
- 11:23Speaker 1: real quick. Hold on. Hold on. Let me see. Let
- 11:25Speaker 1: me see. Hey, did somebody take. Did somebody take him yet?
- 11:28Speaker 1: He's gone. Okay, hold on. One more second. You were
- 11:31Speaker 1: getting bean dip. He's gone. You were at the crock pot.
- 11:34Speaker 4: These should be a quick, tidy, one hour and 30 minute,
- 11:39Speaker 4: maybe two hour processes. Instead, the in-person draft is the longest,
- 11:46Speaker 4: most unorganized, useless part of a great American tradition of
- 11:52Speaker 4: playing fantasy.
- 11:53Speaker 1: No, I don't know, man.
- 11:54Speaker 3: That's why you have to have a good organizer. And
- 11:56Speaker 3: that's why you have to have people that want to
- 11:57Speaker 3: be around each other.
- 11:58Speaker 4: Now, good organizer means home monitor that wants to yell
- 12:01Speaker 4: at everybody about their social calendar.
- 12:04Speaker 1: That is true.
- 12:05Speaker 3: I mean, it is tough to find the day. I mean,
- 12:07Speaker 3: you're sending out email, group email, who can do it
- 12:10Speaker 3: on this day? Who can do it on this day?
- 12:11Speaker 3: And it is hard to do it. I'll admit that.
- 12:13Speaker 3: But sometimes things in life worth doing are hard. I mean,
- 12:17Speaker 3: what was I going to do anyway? Go to my
- 12:18Speaker 3: 19th pumpkin patch to go buy a gourd?
- 12:21Speaker 1: No, pumpkin patches aren't open yet. They are now. Trust me.
- 12:24Speaker 3: The calendar's filling up. That's a kick in the balls.
- 12:26Speaker 3: My calendar, we already went to Apple Holler this weekend,
- 12:28Speaker 3: which actually was a lot of fun. I'll have to
- 12:30Speaker 3: admit that one. Apple Holler was a good time.
- 12:32Speaker 1: We went, you know.
- 12:33Speaker 3: You know, or apple orchard picking. Now, trust me, the
- 12:36Speaker 3: pumpkin patches are starting to get going.
- 12:37Speaker 4: Thank you, Derek and Whitewater. Join a bowling league and
- 12:39Speaker 4: go hang out with your buddies once a week if
- 12:41Speaker 4: you want.
- 12:41Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. If people still bowled and went
- 12:44Speaker 1: in bowling leagues, I would go bowl once a week.
- 12:46Speaker 1: You live in Milwaukee. There's a lot of bowling going on. Yeah,
- 12:48Speaker 1: but not as much as it used to be, I feel.
- 12:50Speaker 1: I fear. I fear.
- 12:52Speaker 3: I think it's hard to get people together every week
- 12:53Speaker 3: for bowling. At least once a year, you should be
- 12:55Speaker 3: able to. but I think it depends on if you
- 12:59Speaker 3: have a well-run draft, if you have a good commissioner
- 13:01Speaker 3: and a well-run draft and everyone's there and then you're
- 13:03Speaker 3: doing it right.
- 13:04Speaker 1: It's, it's a nice three, four hours, but I guess opinion, it's.
- 13:07Speaker 4: A big power trip. It's a big, I'm going to
- 13:09Speaker 4: be the commissioner. I'm going to run the show. I'm
- 13:12Speaker 4: going to be the one that takes the pick and,
- 13:15Speaker 4: And I'm going to let everybody know of who you selected.
- 13:18Speaker 4: That's the most obnoxious, annoying thing. If you want to
- 13:21Speaker 4: play that way, you know what you should do? You
- 13:23Speaker 4: should go add up the scores again like they used
- 13:25Speaker 4: to in the sporting.
- 13:25Speaker 1: News every Sunday night. Look at the box score.
- 13:27Speaker 4: Look at the box scores on Monday and then send
- 13:29Speaker 4: out the post. They make it way too easy online.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Just do it there.
- 13:34Speaker 3: Dan in Wausau says I had an in-person draft and
- 13:36Speaker 3: Armand's right. See, Dan's got it.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Dan's got it. See, I like that. Dan, it's not fun.
- 13:41Speaker 1: It's not a good time.
- 13:42Speaker 4: There's a lot more other enjoying times that you can
- 13:45Speaker 4: have than sitting around watching somebody.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Hold on here.
- 13:48Speaker 3: Go around with your friends and talk about the third
- 13:53Speaker 3: receiver on the Arizona Cardinals.
- 13:54Speaker 1: I would think you would love to do that.
- 13:57Speaker 4: Why am I trying to help my competitors?
- 14:01Speaker 3: Not before they draft, but afterwards. Basically, this day is
- 14:05Speaker 3: about talking about football players.
- 14:08Speaker 4: No, it's a bunch of guys after one person says,
- 14:12Speaker 4: DeAndre Swift.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good pick. That's a good pick. I'm
- 14:15Speaker 1: totally that guy.
- 14:18Speaker 4: That's the most annoying deal ever.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Oh, that's a reach. That's a great pick.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Great pick oh that's a good arm is great pick
- 14:26Speaker 2: guy oh great pick he's the hype man for everybody.
- 14:29Speaker 3: I also like when someone else makes food and brings
- 14:31Speaker 3: it and sets it up for everything like just roll
- 14:33Speaker 3: in there like sinatra and get a spread and eat
- 14:36Speaker 3: and oh.
- 14:36Speaker 4: So it's the free stuff that you like no i
- 14:39Speaker 4: pay my deuce i pay my deuce all right so
- 14:43Speaker 4: i guess that's my game ball and that's billy's kick
- 14:45Speaker 4: to the balls for the weekend my kick to the
- 14:47Speaker 4: balls is to people that like in-person drafts.
- 14:50Speaker 5: Great counsel is pacing in the Cubs dugout.
- 14:53Speaker 4: And if you're that guy that says, I'm going to
- 14:55Speaker 4: run the fantasy league, and if you can't be in person,
- 14:57Speaker 4: then you can't be in the league.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Kick to the ball squarely to that. I don't agree
- 15:01Speaker 3: with that either. That's not fair because not everyone can make.
- 15:04Speaker 3: That's not fair either.
- 15:05Speaker 1: I agree with you.
- 15:06Speaker 4: But if you're going to be in person draft guy,
- 15:08Speaker 4: then you're in person draft guy.
- 15:09Speaker 1: I'm not going to hold you to the league to
- 15:11Speaker 1: being in the league, though, based on that. I don't know.
- 15:13Speaker 4: You don't really want to be in the league if
- 15:14Speaker 4: you don't want to be there. If you were not
- 15:16Speaker 4: going to make it a point to be there.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Some say that. That's what you generally hear. What if
- 15:19Speaker 1: you're the only guy that can't make the day, but
- 15:21Speaker 1: you're willing to adjust and make that work for everybody else? Ben,
- 15:26Speaker 1: go play pickleball and hang out with your pals.
- 15:28Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's another problem, because pickleball has taken over
- 15:31Speaker 3: tennis courts, and no one can play tennis anymore. But
- 15:35Speaker 3: I admit, pickleball is more accessible and more popular now.
- 15:37Speaker 3: It's just a shame to see. A lot of people
- 15:39Speaker 3: do go play pickleball. In fact, the old people fight
- 15:42Speaker 3: about it. I don't know if you guys see those
- 15:44Speaker 3: on the internet all the time, people getting in pickleball fights.
- 15:47Speaker 1: At the retirement communities. I saw one guy get into
- 15:50Speaker 1: a pickleball fight. Yeah, they get into it.
- 15:51Speaker 3: He got messed up, too. They had to call the cops, too,
- 15:54Speaker 3: and stuff like that. Pretty wild stuff.
- 15:55Speaker 1: I don't know. Pretty wild.
- 15:57Speaker 2: All right.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Join a bowling league, says Derek. All right, Derek. Yeah,
- 15:59Speaker 1: just join a bowling league. You bowl, Derek, every week?
- 16:02Speaker 1: I want to know. Yeah. I wonder if Derek Bowles.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I bet he does.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Bowling leagues are commitments, man. Those things run forever.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Oh. The Premier League. I was going to say. When
- 16:10Speaker 1: are they not in season?
- 16:11Speaker 4: NBA, NHL, and your bowling league are the three longest
- 16:14Speaker 4: seasons in North American sports. My dad's bowling league used
- 16:18Speaker 4: to be the Monday night excursion, though.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Riviera Lanes. Big Buck Hunter for me. That was it.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Every moment I came back.
- 16:25Speaker 4: Dad, can I get 75 cents? Well, I know you're
- 16:29Speaker 4: going to come back here. So here's a five and
- 16:31Speaker 4: figure out how to not lose in the first round.
- 16:33Speaker 4: So you don't have to come back and get more
- 16:35Speaker 4: money to play more games.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Big Buck and I were on the great, great bar
- 16:38Speaker 3: games of all time, by the way. And, you know,
- 16:41Speaker 3: in the beginning, I love Big Buck Hunter. And you
- 16:42Speaker 3: had the the guides, the girls that were in the
- 16:45Speaker 3: guide suits. It's Big Buck Hunter and Golden Tee are
- 16:48Speaker 3: the top.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Yeah. And then everything else is kind of hanging out.
- 16:50Speaker 1: That's fair.
- 16:51Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Keep them coming. Eight, seven, seven, seven, nine, four, one,
- 16:55Speaker 2: ninety seven, three. Get you in. Brewers Cubs again. That's
- 16:58Speaker 2: a beautiful thing about baseball. It was fun yesterday. Get
- 17:00Speaker 2: another one tonight. I cannot wait for it. There's a
- 17:02Speaker 2: slender young man on the mound, isn't there?
- 17:04Speaker 1: I'm debating trying to get myself in there.
- 17:07Speaker 5: Ooh.
- 17:07Speaker 1: I believe so.
- 17:09Speaker 6: Ms.
- 17:09Speaker 4: Henderson back-to-back. That was the slated plan. David Peterson against
- 17:13Speaker 4: Jacob Mizorowski tomorrow. If you like the barefoot boy, Logan
- 17:17Speaker 4: Henderson against Kevin Gosman as they try to recreate their
- 17:20Speaker 4: beautiful matchup they had at Wrigley Field a week ago.
- 17:25Speaker 2: I might try to get to the game tonight.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Tickets have dropped, and they've even dropped further for Wednesday.
- 17:31Speaker 3: So you can see the market reflected in the patterns
- 17:34Speaker 3: of the Flatlanders. Yes, Mizorowski tonight and Logan Henderson tomorrow. Yeah,
- 17:39Speaker 3: how about that? And then the draw show goes to Cincinnati,
- 17:42Speaker 3: but that's a few days away.
- 17:44Speaker 2: And I wonder if this is like Miz's last full-on,
- 17:48Speaker 2: like you push him a little bit tonight and then
- 17:50Speaker 2: back off.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Well, I think at Pittsburgh would be next, and then
- 17:53Speaker 1: that might be clinching time. That's true. You could do
- 17:56Speaker 1: it there.
- 17:56Speaker 2: I have some buddies that have planned, and they're going
- 17:58Speaker 2: to that series in Pittsburgh. I'm like, oh, you guys
- 18:00Speaker 2: might see it.
- 18:01Speaker 1: You might. They might see a party, yeah. You might
- 18:03Speaker 1: be there late, like an hour after the game behind
- 18:07Speaker 1: the dugout, partying.
- 18:08Speaker 4: I was going to say, they might be the only
- 18:10Speaker 4: ones there for the celebration, the pictures.
- 18:11Speaker 1: That might be the perfect time.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Well, the work and the research Hunter's doing to figure
- 18:15Speaker 3: out which series it might be, where he might be traveling,
- 18:17Speaker 3: because I think we're going to get Hunter on the
- 18:18Speaker 3: road for one of these. So that excites me. Hunter
- 18:21Speaker 3: joins us. in about a little more than an hour
- 18:24Speaker 3: from right now. How about that?
- 18:25Speaker 2: There's no Dolph today. Halftime will go on, though. We'll
- 18:28Speaker 2: make some adjustments. We'll eat an Uncrustable, have some orange slices,
- 18:31Speaker 2: and get back after it.
- 18:32Speaker 1: You're in the huddle.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 18:35Speaker 1: The left-hander lifts the leg.
- 18:37Speaker 5: Pitch is home.
- 18:37Speaker 1: A swing and a bounce.
- 18:38Speaker 6: He's on a short. This should do it. Garcia's thrown
- 18:41Speaker 6: a first. It's a perfect game for Thomas Pallone! Just
- 18:46Speaker 6: the fifth in International League history, covering 142 years, thrown
- 18:54Speaker 6: by one man across nine innings. And Thomas Pannone on
- 19:00Speaker 6: Labor Day Monday of 2026 cements his history in the
- 19:07Speaker 6: International League.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Nashville Sound celebrating last night. A perfect game. How about that?
- 19:14Speaker 2: Atta baby, Jeff Hamm. Way to be on that thing.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Thomas Pannone. Send it in, Pannone. So, now I'm trying
- 19:22Speaker 2: to figure this out. He says cement's his place in history.
- 19:26Speaker 2: Did they actually give him a piece of cement? Like
- 19:29Speaker 2: this picture that the Nashville Sound's posted. My man's got
- 19:33Speaker 2: like a cinder block. That's the rubber.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Oh, so they dug out the rubber for him to
- 19:37Speaker 1: walk out?
- 19:38Speaker 2: That's the pitching rubber.
- 19:39Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:40Speaker 2: They gave him the pitching rubber.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Did you realize that the rubber was that thing looks
- 19:45Speaker 4: like a, that thing looks four by six.
- 19:47Speaker 1: I never actually saw one out of the, like a
- 19:49Speaker 1: home plate. Those things are crazy. You know what that's like?
- 19:52Speaker 1: It looks like an absolute log.
- 19:54Speaker 3: That's like seeing one of your teeth when they get
- 19:56Speaker 3: it pulled and you're like, damn, it went that deep, deep.
- 19:59Speaker 1: It was the root.
- 19:59Speaker 4: So now how does the groundskeeper feel when they say,
- 20:02Speaker 4: Hey man, you got to dig that thing up?
- 20:03Speaker 2: Well, they just don't go grab another one. Do you
- 20:05Speaker 2: know that I got extras?
- 20:07Speaker 1: That is awesome. It's cool, but it's like, you know,
- 20:12Speaker 1: it's like a bad. I mean, I didn't Kershaw get
- 20:14Speaker 1: his from his last game or something.
- 20:15Speaker 2: I don't remember.
- 20:17Speaker 4: I hate to Drew. I don't know that a lot
- 20:19Speaker 4: of people have seen the rubber like that. I don't
- 20:21Speaker 4: know that a lot of people have seen the rubber
- 20:23Speaker 4: one out of the ground to that law, something that large.
- 20:27Speaker 4: I don't know that a lot of people would have
- 20:29Speaker 4: planned on that being the pitching rubber.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong.
- 20:31Speaker 4: Maybe there's a lot more educated human beings out there
- 20:33Speaker 4: than I am. I don't know that a lot of
- 20:35Speaker 4: people knew that's what the rubber looked like. It looks
- 20:37Speaker 4: like Ronald Reagan holding up the Berlin wall.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Yeah. It's pretty cool though. That is phenomenal. Is that
- 20:45Speaker 1: heavy drew or not really like, is that pretty heavy?
- 20:48Speaker 1: I was going to say, you look at it, you
- 20:49Speaker 1: look at the veins.
- 20:50Speaker 4: It looks like he he's straining to get that thing
- 20:53Speaker 4: over the head.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Well, it's a big old thing. I mean, you pull
- 20:57Speaker 1: that big old thing over your head. I mean, that's
- 20:59Speaker 1: pretty awesome.
- 21:00Speaker 2: I bet they probably weigh like 40, 50 pounds.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Yeah, that thing looks like a plate. He's probably like,
- 21:05Speaker 1: I pitch nine innings, you jerks. My arm is like jello.
- 21:07Speaker 1: You're going to make me pick this thing up. I'm
- 21:08Speaker 1: going to work out with this thing. Can't you give
- 21:10Speaker 1: me the ball for the picture?
- 21:14Speaker 2: Well, the ball is one thing, but the pitching number,
- 21:16Speaker 2: you got to have.
- 21:16Speaker 1: It's a solid block. But congrats to the Nashville Sounds.
- 21:19Speaker 1: I mean, this is a big deal for any organization,
- 21:21Speaker 1: especially in a minor league organization. That's pretty sweet, yeah.
- 21:23Speaker 3: They get to celebrate that, and, hey, that's pretty cool.
- 21:27Speaker 3: I mean, that's always a feather in your cap.
- 21:29Speaker 1: Is he our current electric superhero of the day? That
- 21:31Speaker 1: pretty much has to be.
- 21:32Speaker 4: I was going to say it's going to be tough
- 21:33Speaker 4: for anybody to beat Thomas Pannone, and it's hard for
- 21:35Speaker 4: anybody to beat the superheroes at Current Electric. Call Current.com,
- 21:38Speaker 4: the place to go if you're looking for generator conversation,
- 21:41Speaker 4: if you're looking to upgrade your– we talk about outdoor lighting.
- 21:44Speaker 4: Maybe you're going back inside, and you're like, man, you
- 21:46Speaker 4: know what? This basement's kind of lame. I think we
- 21:49Speaker 4: need to upgrade the lighting and upgrade how it looks
- 21:51Speaker 4: down here. Call current electric and help you out as well.
- 21:53Speaker 4: Call current.com as the superheroes from current electric will come
- 21:57Speaker 4: and they might not deliver a perfect game.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Actually, I'm wrong.
- 22:01Speaker 4: They will be perfect on all the work they do.
- 22:03Speaker 4: They throw a lot more perfect games than international league pitchers.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Oh, more five. And how many years did Jeff hem
- 22:09Speaker 1: just say?
- 22:09Speaker 4: Oh, They're knocking out perfect games daily at current electors.
- 22:13Speaker 3: It's the fifth nine-inning individual perfect game in International League history.
- 22:17Speaker 3: And also a superhero honorable mention for the teammate that
- 22:21Speaker 3: came ready on the mound celebration with some sort of liquid.
- 22:25Speaker 3: I'm assuming it's water. It'd be cool for his beer. But, like, had, like,
- 22:28Speaker 3: three of them ready and started spraying him right during
- 22:30Speaker 3: the mound.
- 22:31Speaker 1: The dog pile. Yeah. That was pretty awesome. So.
- 22:35Speaker 3: And you don't see a good dog pal these days much,
- 22:37Speaker 3: but this was a pretty good one.
- 22:39Speaker 1: They really surrounded him right away. So, yes, very worthy
- 22:43Speaker 1: superhero of the day. Like that. Call Currents.com, Current Electric.
- 22:46Speaker 4: And now Current Electric, it might be an individual perfect game.
- 22:50Speaker 4: They might have two folks that come on out there
- 22:52Speaker 4: for you. Whether it's a combined no-hitter or an individual one,
- 22:55Speaker 4: they don't care over Current Electric. People get upset about
- 22:59Speaker 4: non-individual perfect games or no-hitters. Current electric superheroes are coming
- 23:03Speaker 4: out there.
- 23:03Speaker 1: They'll work together. They're great teammates.
- 23:04Speaker 3: Hey, they could have used them at that FSU game
- 23:06Speaker 3: last night. FSU-SMU with the power one out that they
- 23:09Speaker 3: eventually got.
- 23:10Speaker 1: You guys saw some of that?
- 23:11Speaker 4: Yeah, the current electric superheroes would have gotten the scoreboards
- 23:14Speaker 4: and the public address working as well.
- 23:15Speaker 1: They would not have had to play it with limited electronics.
- 23:18Speaker 3: Well, I read they had to hook up, what, four
- 23:19Speaker 3: generators to power one end of it or something like that?
- 23:22Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't even the Badgers in Vegas.
- 23:25Speaker 4: No, Transmitter goes out, and Mike Norvell's like, wait, I
- 23:30Speaker 4: thought we were putting money in here, and I was
- 23:32Speaker 4: cutting money to take the lights off. And it ends
- 23:35Speaker 4: up being a sweet game, SMU and Florida State, for
- 23:38Speaker 4: whoever ended up staying up and watching it.
- 23:40Speaker 1: But they went old school where.
- 23:43Speaker 4: They not only didn't have the PA address announcer, they also...
- 23:48Speaker 4: At some point, we're just keeping the clock on the field.
- 23:50Speaker 4: And people were saying that apparently it was even more
- 23:53Speaker 4: legit than they did in Ann Arbor.
- 23:56Speaker 1: The head referee was the only one keeping track. Yeah.
- 23:59Speaker 1: And they never had any issues like they did there. No.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Keep them coming. 877-794-1973 gets you in. Nicoletlaw.com. Talk and
- 24:08Speaker 2: text line. You can also comment on the YouTube stream,
- 24:11Speaker 2: as many are. Facebook, YouTube, X, our streaming entities. We're
- 24:15Speaker 2: going to talk to Hunter in a little bit. But
- 24:17Speaker 2: we're spinning through now. We're smashing together game balls and
- 24:20Speaker 2: kicks and buy or sell because of what happened. So now, like, oh, yeah.
- 24:26Speaker 2: How about the big game on Saturday that had the
- 24:28Speaker 2: big delay? Yeah, the LSU and Clemson game.
- 24:32Speaker 1: Another one right there.
- 24:34Speaker 4: More opportunity for Lane Kiffin to be able to fire
- 24:37Speaker 4: out a pregame or a halftime speech. And that would
- 24:40Speaker 4: be the kick to the balls to whoever ends up
- 24:42Speaker 4: posting that.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Brother. There's certain things that we do need.
- 24:46Speaker 5: Great counsel is pacing in the Cubs dugout.
- 24:49Speaker 1: Thank you. No, you're fine.
- 24:50Speaker 4: There's certain things that we do need and there's certain
- 24:52Speaker 4: things that we don't need. I like the post game.
- 24:56Speaker 4: We all know that the social media team is in here.
- 24:58Speaker 4: Video of like even Ben Johnson, the F the Packers,
- 25:02Speaker 4: whatever that, that excitement. I like that raw reaction. I
- 25:05Speaker 4: don't think that we need cameras in all locker rooms.
- 25:08Speaker 4: I think there can be some things that can be
- 25:09Speaker 4: say sacred for the team, but you know, let the
- 25:13Speaker 4: fans in.
- 25:13Speaker 1: That's one thing.
- 25:15Speaker 4: When it's clear and obvious that you're recording something, you
- 25:18Speaker 4: probably shouldn't be recording. And then I'm going to post
- 25:20Speaker 4: it out online. Like I get that. Some people think
- 25:22Speaker 4: it makes, it makes Lane Kiffin look cool. I guess
- 25:25Speaker 4: it makes it look cool on the halftime locker room,
- 25:28Speaker 4: but I just, Some things are for the team. That's
- 25:31Speaker 4: for the team. The halftime message is for the team.
- 25:33Speaker 4: Whoever decides to take the video of his feet so
- 25:37Speaker 4: he can post the video, that to me is just
- 25:39Speaker 4: so unnecessary.
- 25:40Speaker 5: I agree.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Something should be sacred, Billy.
- 25:42Speaker 3: And also, I'm always skeptical now of like, all right,
- 25:45Speaker 3: it was made to look like it was done in private.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Or like done secretively. But did Lane really know?
- 25:50Speaker 3: Because Lane is really concerned about his image all the time.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Yeah, and it kicks to the balls to Lane Kiffin
- 25:55Speaker 1: if that's the way that you would do it.
- 25:56Speaker 5: Great counsel is pacing in the Cubs.
- 25:58Speaker 4: I believe if Lane Kiffin wanted it done, he would
- 26:01Speaker 4: have had somebody be able to shoot it, and it
- 26:03Speaker 4: would have been in 4K.
- 26:03Speaker 1: And with all respect.
- 26:04Speaker 4: It would have sounded better if Lane Kiffin was in
- 26:07Speaker 4: on the job. And your team did your talk in
- 26:09Speaker 4: the scoreboard. Like, you ran it up. You blew them out.
- 26:12Speaker 3: Like, you sent your message on the scoreboard on the field.
- 26:15Speaker 3: So that should be enough for you.
- 26:16Speaker 1: No, he said, make sure they know who's on the schedule.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Billy, you're a Denzian of college football, ESPN's College Football
- 26:24Speaker 2: Game Day. Mm-hmm. I keep seeing smatterings. Laney Wilson's performance
- 26:31Speaker 2: is being scrutinized and in some cases panned. I'm like, why?
- 26:35Speaker 2: What's the matter with her performance?
- 26:38Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't even know. From when she was the
- 26:40Speaker 4: guest picker or when she was singing?
- 26:41Speaker 1: Yeah, when she was singing.
- 26:42Speaker 2: I don't know if people didn't expect it.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Let's hear their set. That's the problem.
- 26:49Speaker 4: When they do go to a musical guest, that's generally
- 26:52Speaker 4: when I'll go and make a cup of coffee, right?
- 26:54Speaker 4: That might be when I'll probably step out of the room.
- 26:56Speaker 4: I think I kind of missed most of the singing
- 26:59Speaker 4: parts of it. I thought she was fine. I thought
- 27:04Speaker 4: it was good. I thought she was good as the
- 27:05Speaker 4: guest picker as well. They had some issues game day-wise, though,
- 27:09Speaker 4: and maybe it was from the weather delays that they
- 27:13Speaker 4: had as well. Because they went in probably... 30 minutes in,
- 27:17Speaker 4: they had to go inside of the student athlete union
- 27:22Speaker 4: or whatever and do the rest of the first hour
- 27:27Speaker 4: and probably half of the second hour because of a
- 27:29Speaker 4: lightning delay. And then there were a lot of people
- 27:31Speaker 4: online saying, excuse me, so you guys go in, but
- 27:33Speaker 4: you just leave all these people out here?
- 27:35Speaker 1: Rhys Davis tried.
- 27:37Speaker 4: Reese Davis was trying to let everybody know, please go
- 27:41Speaker 4: and get yourself some cover, get yourself to a safe place,
- 27:45Speaker 4: get out of the rain and the lightning. None of
- 27:48Speaker 4: those Louisiana people were listening. Not one single person left
- 27:52Speaker 4: that courtyard that they were all in. So that was
- 27:54Speaker 4: maybe where I thought that there would be some frustrations
- 27:56Speaker 4: for it, but that game game one was different.
- 27:58Speaker 1: It's just, it's not the same without Lee Corso.
- 28:01Speaker 4: And as much as they've tried, they've done a great
- 28:05Speaker 4: job of being able to hold onto his spirit and,
- 28:07Speaker 4: 500th game day live show on the road, 500 times.
- 28:13Speaker 1: I needed just a.
- 28:14Speaker 4: Little bit more Lee Corso, a part of the broadcast
- 28:16Speaker 4: to celebrate, but that was just me. That was just
- 28:18Speaker 4: me because uncle Lee just did so much for that
- 28:20Speaker 4: show and woke me up so many mornings.
- 28:22Speaker 1: I like that.
- 28:23Speaker 4: That's Saturday morning of knowing that you were going to
- 28:26Speaker 4: see Lee Corso either. liven up a fan base like
- 28:30Speaker 4: nobody's business throwing the headgear on or piss off a
- 28:33Speaker 4: thousand plus people better than anybody else could. Any wrestling
- 28:37Speaker 4: heel could in that moment. It's just a beautiful thing
- 28:40Speaker 4: to know. And as much as I'll watch McAfee and
- 28:43Speaker 4: enjoy it, him standing up on the chair just doesn't
- 28:45Speaker 4: do it the same way.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Well said.
- 28:46Speaker 3: Certain things can still be good, but we always get
- 28:49Speaker 3: accused like, oh everyone says it was better when they
- 28:51Speaker 3: were kid and primacy bias but i mean come on
- 28:53Speaker 3: i mean that's just the way it was.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Just because lee corso was so damn it was.
- 28:56Speaker 3: Just awesome he was awesome and and sometimes the way
- 28:59Speaker 3: you know things originate like shows like that is just
- 29:02Speaker 3: the best version of them you know that's that's okay
- 29:04Speaker 3: too and you know in 20 years a different generation
- 29:08Speaker 3: will have their own memories like this of pat or
- 29:10Speaker 3: whoever it is that's just the way it is but
- 29:12Speaker 3: yeah it was.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Definitely um You're right, Billy. It's just not the same.
- 29:16Speaker 4: It's not the same. It's just not the same. How
- 29:18Speaker 4: about a game ball to a little known Wisconsin?
- 29:22Speaker 1: Well, born and.
- 29:23Speaker 4: Raised in Wisconsin, not always raised as he went off
- 29:25Speaker 4: to the land of corn. My game ball to George.
- 29:31Speaker 4: So he flew out on the plane. And if you
- 29:35Speaker 4: go to Melbourne, Australia to join your team from San Francisco,
- 29:40Speaker 4: for week number one, I got a pretty dang good
- 29:42Speaker 4: feeling you're playing in the game.
- 29:44Speaker 2: Yeah, one would think.
- 29:45Speaker 3: Right?
- 29:45Speaker 1: Like, I don't think you're flying that far just to
- 29:47Speaker 1: hang out with the boys. Just to be there for vibes.
- 29:50Speaker 4: He tore his Achilles in January in the playoffs.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Pretty crazy.
- 29:53Speaker 4: And is going to be ready for week number one.
- 29:56Speaker 4: That's remarkable and an insane turnaround.
- 29:59Speaker 3: Also, it's bad for all the other guys that tear
- 30:01Speaker 3: Achilles because everyone's like, well, why can't you do it?
- 30:03Speaker 1: No, Kittle just did it. Like the Adrian Peterson.
- 30:05Speaker 3: Recovering in five months or whatever he did it. It's
- 30:07Speaker 3: like not everybody's the same, but everyone's going to be like, oh, look,
- 30:10Speaker 3: he did it. Why can't you recover? Aren't you working
- 30:12Speaker 3: hard enough? That's what all these people think, but it's
- 30:14Speaker 3: never about that. But, yeah, that's pretty amazing stuff right there. Boy,
- 30:18Speaker 3: how do you keep that thing comfortable on a 15-hour flight? But, hey,
- 30:21Speaker 3: that's a different– I'm sure he has a nice leg room.
- 30:24Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sure.
- 30:24Speaker 1: I'm sure he's got leg room where he's sitting. They'll
- 30:27Speaker 1: find a way. They'll find a way to be able
- 30:28Speaker 1: to take care of him. Pretty impressive, though. I mean,
- 30:29Speaker 1: to come back from that, it looks like he will
- 30:31Speaker 1: be Billy. So there you go. But also a kick
- 30:33Speaker 1: to the balls to Raheem Morris.
- 30:36Speaker 5: Great counsel is pacing in the Cubs dugout.
- 30:39Speaker 4: Defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers. Drew, I don't
- 30:43Speaker 4: know how he's going to come back from this. I
- 30:44Speaker 4: don't know how he's going to be able to live
- 30:46Speaker 4: with the fact that her Adam Schefter and Schefter was
- 30:49Speaker 4: very excited to tell this story yesterday. Raheem Morris turned
- 30:53Speaker 4: 50 years old on Thursday, September 3rd.
- 30:55Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:55Speaker 4: It also happened the day the 49ers flew to Australia,
- 30:58Speaker 4: leaving Wednesday night on the second arriving Friday morning on
- 31:02Speaker 4: the fourth local time. So they lost the full day.
- 31:05Speaker 4: He lost his 50th birthday. Drew, how is he going
- 31:09Speaker 4: to get over the loss of his 50th birthday there
- 31:12Speaker 4: in the air?
- 31:13Speaker 1: What if you're born on February 29th? Great point. Yeah.
- 31:17Speaker 4: Then you just get to hang out and say that
- 31:18Speaker 4: I'm 12 years old at this point.
- 31:21Speaker 5: Exactly.
- 31:22Speaker 1: He's still 49. Can't call me over the hill. That
- 31:24Speaker 1: is tough, though.
- 31:25Speaker 3: To lose your birthday like that, that is tough.
- 31:27Speaker 1: But if there was a birthday to lose... I mean,
- 31:30Speaker 1: people would say you want to celebrate the 50th birthday.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Do football coaches even notice stuff like that?
- 31:35Speaker 4: Yeah, his birthday has been during the season for a
- 31:38Speaker 4: long time. He hadn't celebrated it in quite some time.
- 31:40Speaker 2: I was going to say.
- 31:40Speaker 3: Football coaches like to claim they don't notice anything in
- 31:42Speaker 3: their world. Oh, I got tunnel vision. I'm busy sleeping
- 31:45Speaker 3: under the couch at the office.
- 31:46Speaker 1: I have no idea it's my birthday. But come on.
- 31:49Speaker 3: That's always like the extra flex that football coaches do.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Always. I'm sorry. They do. That's what it is.
- 31:55Speaker 4: The comment of Raheem Moore is trying to explain how
- 31:57Speaker 4: old he is, and it was the Dennis Rodman.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Now I got to go here, and then I go here,
- 32:01Speaker 1: and then I'm over here, and then I'm over here,
- 32:02Speaker 1: and then I'm over here, and then I'm over here.
- 32:05Speaker 1: I will say this though.
- 32:07Speaker 3: As you get older, you care less about like, like, well,
- 32:09Speaker 3: he wasn't going to throw his own party probably.
- 32:11Speaker 1: And like, go to, you know, go to Outback steakhouse. No,
- 32:14Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
- 32:15Speaker 4: Second comment, Adam, why did it take 11 days to
- 32:17Speaker 4: report Kyle Shanahan's car accident?
- 32:19Speaker 3: I love cheese.
- 32:20Speaker 1: It's on fire.
- 32:21Speaker 4: They just go from one, one story to the other
- 32:24Speaker 4: 49ers quickly shoving all those other stories.
- 32:27Speaker 1: That they had the off season under the bed. We do.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.
- 32:30Speaker 2: We've said that, you know, cockroaches would survive the nuclear Holocaust, right?
- 32:34Speaker 1: Yeah, the hallway. I think the second behind cockroaches.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Will be these insiders because the NBA guys got fed
- 32:39Speaker 2: a line from the Clippers and swallowed it whole, and
- 32:42Speaker 2: they're like, eh, nothing to see here.
- 32:44Speaker 1: No problem. Much ado about nothing. Is this good to report, Mr.
- 32:47Speaker 6: Editor?
- 32:47Speaker 1: Oops. Just incredible. I'm the Michigan man.
- 32:51Speaker 6: Unreal.
- 32:52Speaker 2: All right, 877-794-1973. When we come back, we'll spin through
- 32:56Speaker 2: a little who's hot, who's not. You're in the huddle.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 33:02Speaker 1: In the air to left field. Churrio over. Churrio slides.
- 33:06Speaker 1: He's got it. Jackson Churrio.
- 33:14Speaker 2: The last out from the Brewers' victory over the Cubs
- 33:16Speaker 2: yesterday at American Family Field. Clinching the season series against
- 33:19Speaker 2: the Cubs. They can clinch a series victory with a
- 33:23Speaker 2: win tonight.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Miz on the mound.
- 33:26Speaker 4: We talked about it earlier of the shots into the
- 33:29Speaker 4: dugout of Craig Council. None probably better than that one
- 33:32Speaker 4: right there where he's trying to say, hey, hold on,
- 33:34Speaker 4: hold on.
- 33:34Speaker 1: Wait, should we go? Confused.
- 33:35Speaker 4: I don't know if my man even on the phone
- 33:37Speaker 4: was like, Skip, he caught it. Yeah, he caught it.
- 33:40Speaker 1: He's like, let's just get out of here. On one hand,
- 33:43Speaker 1: I get it. It doesn't hurt to try. The game's over. Oh, yeah.
- 33:49Speaker 1: For sure. If nothing else, to annoy the celebration of it.
- 33:52Speaker 1: But like. What are you watching here? He caught the ball.
- 33:55Speaker 1: But I love him looking back like, wait, where are we? Oh, sorry,
- 33:57Speaker 1: I wasn't even checking on the phone. I apologize. I'm
- 34:00Speaker 1: already into the clubhouse.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Time for a little Who's Hot, Who's Not? Brought to
- 34:04Speaker 2: us by Donovan Jorgensen, the pros when it comes to HVAC. DonovanJorgensen.com,
- 34:09Speaker 2: the website. Who do you got for who's hot, who's not, Bill?
- 34:12Speaker 4: We got Kyle Schwarber hitting his league-leading 43rd home run of.
- 34:17Speaker 1: The year yesterday. And ahead of the blue-haired kid. Just ahead.
- 34:20Speaker 4: And his one homer was the only run the Phillies
- 34:23Speaker 4: were able to muster up yesterday.
- 34:25Speaker 1: The only one they needed. 1-0. They beat the Braves.
- 34:28Speaker 4: The Phillies and Braves have a very similar situation going
- 34:32Speaker 4: on with the Brewers. the 10 game or seven game
- 34:35Speaker 4: and 10 day run for the crown and the NL East. Well,
- 34:40Speaker 4: same deal as the Brewers and Cubs did at Wrigley.
- 34:43Speaker 4: They split in Philadelphia and now they'll go to Atlanta
- 34:47Speaker 4: over the weekend, but Philadelphia needs to sweep that series.
- 34:49Speaker 4: There are four games back of the Braves and nothing
- 34:52Speaker 4: doing in that cross pattern right there, but couch for
- 34:56Speaker 4: 43 bombs.
- 34:57Speaker 1: It nuts to.
- 34:58Speaker 4: Think that he's probably the only guy from that Cubs
- 35:02Speaker 4: team that wins the world series that is going to
- 35:04Speaker 4: be in the hall of fame.
- 35:05Speaker 1: That is crazy to think about that. John Lester going
- 35:07Speaker 1: to be in the conversation.
- 35:08Speaker 4: He's going to be an interesting case for the next
- 35:10Speaker 4: couple of years, but Chapman is all around this Chapman.
- 35:14Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah. You almost forget about him. He blew
- 35:16Speaker 1: the safe basically in that game. Almost blew it. Yeah.
- 35:19Speaker 1: Good point on that one. I barely remember that.
- 35:21Speaker 4: Talk about a future potential hall of famer who blew
- 35:24Speaker 4: a safe yesterday in the not category be Craig Kimbrell.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Okay.
- 35:28Speaker 4: You look at his, you look at his all-time saves
- 35:30Speaker 4: numbers and he would have a very interesting one. People forgot.
- 35:33Speaker 4: Craig Kimbrell was even in baseball. Well, the Royals were
- 35:37Speaker 4: brutal this year. So they went and picked up Craig
- 35:38Speaker 4: Kimbrell and sadly for them, he blew the save yesterday,
- 35:42Speaker 4: but who, what was.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Hot in that game?
- 35:45Speaker 4: The 10th inning, nothing, nothing into the 10th inning between
- 35:48Speaker 4: the diamondbacks and Royals and Casey yesterday. A 5-4 Diamondbacks
- 35:53Speaker 4: win in 10 innings.
- 35:55Speaker 3: Talk about a miracle finish for overbetters. And then a
- 35:58Speaker 3: bad beat for the underbetters.
- 35:59Speaker 4: The worst kind of bet if you're an underbetter that
- 36:02Speaker 4: you possibly could have.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Especially if you're a Royals fan at the game. Well, sure.
- 36:06Speaker 1: But that's why you should be betting the over, Billy.
- 36:08Speaker 1: I mean, no excuse. That's true. Life's too short to
- 36:09Speaker 1: bet the under.
- 36:10Speaker 4: But there's a double there by Salvi Perez in the
- 36:14Speaker 4: 10th inning that drives in some runs. Zach Fly was
- 36:16Speaker 4: the one that broke the seal. And then four consecutive
- 36:20Speaker 4: base hits by the Diamondbacks later. And they win a
- 36:23Speaker 4: 5-4 game there. The other hot category would be SMU.
- 36:29Speaker 4: They win last night. Not Mike Norvell. I mean, Mike
- 36:31Speaker 4: Norvell is as close to done as possible.
- 36:33Speaker 1: People have been talking buyout.
- 36:35Speaker 4: We had somebody on our talking text line asking us
- 36:37Speaker 4: about Luke Fickle's buyout already. I don't know that the
- 36:40Speaker 4: Notre Dame game is the one that would spike a
- 36:41Speaker 4: conversation of that. For Florida State fans, they just want
- 36:45Speaker 4: to talk about the buyout for Mike Norvell every single
- 36:47Speaker 4: day because that's all they want. All they yearn for
- 36:50Speaker 4: is him to not be the head coach of their team.
- 36:52Speaker 1: It's to hire a new coach and then fire him
- 36:54Speaker 1: right out. It's just what it is.
- 36:56Speaker 2: That is so true.
- 36:57Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought they might win that game, and it
- 36:59Speaker 1: was going down the wire. Yeah, they did, too. They did, too.
- 37:03Speaker 4: It's a tough one when Mike Norvell is having this
- 37:05Speaker 4: conversation with a friend of mine. It was a buy
- 37:07Speaker 4: or sell kind of conversation.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 37:09Speaker 4: That the broken leg by Jordan Travis did more to
- 37:13Speaker 4: harm Mike Norvell's career than Jordan Travis. Now, Jordan Travis,
- 37:18Speaker 4: he wasn't going to be an NFL player either way.
- 37:20Speaker 4: He was a 5'11 quarterback that had a decent arm.
- 37:24Speaker 1: Not great, right?
- 37:25Speaker 4: Like, he would have been a career backup because of
- 37:27Speaker 4: the headiness and all the stuff that you can do,
- 37:29Speaker 4: the little things, Drew, right?
- 37:30Speaker 1: The Sean Clifford style.
- 37:32Speaker 4: Mike Norvell is about to make the college football playoff,
- 37:35Speaker 4: have an undefeated regular season. And instead three years later,
- 37:38Speaker 4: now he's life's not going to be bad for Mike Norvell.
- 37:42Speaker 4: I think at the end of this, he's going to
- 37:43Speaker 4: have made like $ 80 million.
- 37:44Speaker 3: From Florida State. His bank account is fine. He's going
- 37:47Speaker 3: to be eating dinner.
- 37:48Speaker 4: Coach's life is a lot different because of that one
- 37:52Speaker 4: injury that has them out of the college football playoff
- 37:55Speaker 4: to him fired almost.
- 37:56Speaker 3: In like, you know, 22, 23. He probably had dreams
- 37:58Speaker 3: of better. Yes, a better success and stature and a
- 38:01Speaker 3: future in college football in the big time than what
- 38:04Speaker 3: it is.
- 38:04Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I'm sure he thought, well, I'm
- 38:06Speaker 1: on my way now. I'm good.
- 38:07Speaker 3: I'm in my forties. I'm going to figure this thing
- 38:09Speaker 3: out and keep winning it. A big Hallmark touchstone program.
- 38:13Speaker 1: That's just not happening for him.
- 38:14Speaker 2: That quarterback, the short quarterback makes me think where's Diego
- 38:16Speaker 2: Pavia these days.
- 38:17Speaker 1: That's a great question. Where did he get released?
- 38:21Speaker 3: Right.
- 38:21Speaker 1: He's just chilling. Yeah.
- 38:23Speaker 4: And I'll say the other part of, I was wondering
- 38:25Speaker 4: if Pavia was going to be one of the guys
- 38:27Speaker 4: that tried to get himself into that 2022 five years
- 38:30Speaker 4: for five guys.
- 38:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 38:32Speaker 4: But he had already been in for five years, so
- 38:34Speaker 4: he wouldn't have fallen into it. Doubles down that he
- 38:37Speaker 4: should still be able to go back to college football.
- 38:40Speaker 1: He cannot. He cannot. Narrator, he cannot. No eligibility there, buddy.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Nothing to wring out of that bar rag. We're all
- 38:48Speaker 1: trying the same thing. Hey, can we go back to college?
- 38:51Speaker 1: Can I try to go back? Yeah, totally. You're not
- 38:54Speaker 1: all Chris Wenke.
- 38:56Speaker 4: He just posted on Instagram, this on Yahoo Sports, quote,
- 38:59Speaker 4: looking for a streamer camera guy.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Hit me up.
- 39:03Speaker 4: Okay, so he's going to do content. There you go.
- 39:07Speaker 4: That's what we want. Should I start streaming? He asked
- 39:11Speaker 4: in a recent Snapchat post.
- 39:13Speaker 1: That's what you should worry about.
- 39:16Speaker 2: He's too late to offer his services to come hang
- 39:18Speaker 2: at your fantasy draft.
- 39:19Speaker 4: That'll have to come next year. He can't read your
- 39:21Speaker 4: fantasy draft order. In-person draft.
- 39:24Speaker 1: On another Snapchat post, Diego Pavia teased that he.
- 39:27Speaker 4: Quote, might do something WWE. He's got no many people
- 39:31Speaker 4: thought pro wrestling in your future, but.
- 39:33Speaker 1: Hey, he's got to look for that next career. It's
- 39:35Speaker 1: actually smart.
- 39:36Speaker 3: Is this the updated like era version of like, can
- 39:39Speaker 3: anyone sublet my apartment from Conor's agent?
- 39:42Speaker 1: Oh God. Did he ever get somebody to sublet that apartment?
- 39:45Speaker 1: I don't know if he ever leased it. I really don't.
- 39:47Speaker 1: I'm still wondering. It might still be out there. 877-794-1973.
