  Speaker 1: Rolling through a Monday in the good land. It's the
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: huddle Fox sports radio, Wisconsin, Drew, Billy, and Armin coming
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: to you. Nine 20, Milwaukee, 10 70, Madison, everywhere in
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the art app, streaming live Facebook X and YouTube for
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the early risers, insomniacs.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: And of course, sociopaths waiting for the health club to
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: open at five.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: The seven o'clock club is open. Welcome in the water
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: is fine. We're having some fun on a game balls
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and kicks to the balls. Monday, a Packer free Monday.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Thankfully we got the stinking out of the way.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: You're right. Thursday night.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: And then we, We picked through it on, it hasn't
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: gotten any better. The more you watch the clips, you
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: just wonder how hopeless the situation is. Is there a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: light at the end of the tunnel? Well, yeah, perhaps,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: because things, you know, NFL, not for long.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Not for long.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Your lot in life is not where you will sit
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the season.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And if I had told you a month ago that
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: three games into the season, the Packers would have the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: same record as the.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Rams, you just said, I'll take it. I'll sign up
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: for that. I'll sign up for that.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: They're one and two, obviously headed in different directions and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: like different stratas but the standings especially in wayne larry
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: will tell us like he's told us for years like
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: it takes a month to figure out you know where
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you are and then you start the season like the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: ever the first four games or so i'm i'm sorry
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and i'll i i will gladly raise my hand if
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: i'm wrong in the same way that i ripped the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: guys who said that the rams are going to go
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: 17 you know The Vikings are not going to go 17-0.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: In fact, they beat Tampa yesterday, and the Packers are
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: going to Tampa to.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Face the non-Baker.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Good time to go to Tampa.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: The Vikings put up 230 yards on offense, and they
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: converted two third downs and won the game.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Kyler Murray looked awful.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: The only teams with those stats since 2024 were 1-32.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: The only victory was the Packers against the Jets just
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a week ago. It makes, you know, it makes you,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: so that's horrific and they're winning with their defense and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: They're averaging, they're allowing like 10 points a game.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: But that's not sustainable.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. If you're going to do that for 17 games,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: good luck.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That's not sustainable.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: And so the Vikings are in some ways still a
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: mirage because their quarterback thing is they're, they're, they're overcoming
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: quarterback play. People have said it for a long time, uh,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: drew and, and I get it. I think it's true
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: at a point in the season, but the, uh, You
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: are what your record says you are really rings more
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: true in late October, early November, right? When you've been
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: able to put something together right now, a two and one,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: a three and O and O and three and one
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and two is not going to fully define or tell
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the real story as to what. kind of a team.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I mean, Carolina's one and two. They got
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: blown out by Chicago in week number one. They looked
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: like the greatest thing on turf against the Atlanta Falcons
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: made you believe the Atlanta Falcons were one notch above
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: a CFL team rolling into Lambeau field. And instead they
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: won five games. They both have the same record last
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: year at eight and nine. So it's just, The number
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: in front of a team right now is going to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: give you a belief as to exactly who they are.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: It's just not going to tell a full case. And
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: watching a lot of games yesterday, I think the adage
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: remains very much true. You're not as good as your
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: record will tell you, and you're definitely not as bad
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: as your record will tell you, because there are some
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: teams out there that looked like they could be a
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: lot of different things.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: On any given Sunday.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Packers are going in the face of Buccaneers. What's more
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: dangerous than an 0-3 team at home? with a backup quarterback,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that 0-3 team is one game out of first place.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: And with the.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Feeling that they're desperation, the reality is you just don't
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: know what teams are going to show you every week.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Panthers, Saints, and the Falcons who just took it to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the Packers are all 1-2. And the Bucs are 0-3.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: All teams that probably, I don't know how the Panthers
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: feel about this last weekend, but all teams that probably
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: feel like they could be better, should be better. I
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: know the Saints feel like they're a couple that got away.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: With The saints have played three of the most entertaining
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: games in the NFL this year already.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: And they probably deserve to be at least two in one,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: but what does that even mean? You know, that the
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: margin of winning and losing is so thin, you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: you could argue one way or the other.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: There are teams that might have a record that, that
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: they believe in themselves a lot more, but the record's
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: not good and vice versa. And I think when you
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: had to look at what the Packers are going to
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: face next week, you know, with all the troubles they've
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: had with how bad things have looked and The reality
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: is if you go into Tampa and you beat a
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: team without their starter, you find a way to win.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: You're 2-2.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: And a lot worse can be going on in the
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: NFL by being 2-2. And, yes, still trying to figure
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: out who you are, how you can become good, how
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: you can maintain positive play, how you can build an identity.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: There's time for all that. But getting wins early in
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: the year is important because so much is unpredictable.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It's not always about who you play, it's when you
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: play them, and very much so could be playing two
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: backup quarterbacks coming up in the next two weeks.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Very likely. The last time they played one, it didn't
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: turn out well, right?
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Because I still believe maybe the Packers win if Kyler
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Murray's still in there based on how he played.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Could have, yeah.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: The traveling west to east thing hit the Seahawks a
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: little bit, right? I mean, they get Donald Beck and
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: he throws the pick six, hit Tip of the cap
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: to the Commanders, but that was a 2-0 against 0-2. Yeah, 100%.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: And one that's at home, their home opener. And again,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: your season's on life support. Marcus Mariota is going to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: lead you. I was going to say game ball to
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Marcus Mariota. Give the gray-haired man a good game ball here.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Three tutties.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Three tutties, 19 at 31, and just put his absolute
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: body on the line a couple of times. The one
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: run that he has diving in between two guys looked
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: like he was trying to recapture a little bit of
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that Oregon glory. There are certain guys that you go
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: back to a time and place in your life When
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: you watch them play Marcus Mariota, I instantly get teleported
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: back to when I was in college watching him in college.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: He was one of the coolest guys to watch at
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that exact moment. And to see how his entire football
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: life has played out. He did the quarterback show. Yeah.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: He was the first one for the quarterback show to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: not go the right way. That's right. He was the
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: guy he left, right? Well, he was five games in
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and he gets hurt. And then they're like, well, you
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: can hang out here. And he's like, no, I think
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be off. And then, you know, five
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: episodes in, they had five episodes where you didn't hear
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: from him.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: He went and had a baby and he's like, all right, peace.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: And you thought that might.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Be his career. He was the starter and the guy,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the captain for the Tennessee Titans.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: He gets hurt.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And they have the best season they've had since they
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: went to the Super Bowl because they had a 10-point
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: lead in the AFC title game. He's lived a wild
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: NFL life. But one of the more beloved guys in
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: every locker room he goes into. And when you play
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: a game like yesterday as a backup quarterback, you kind
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: of see why.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Still trying to write that, that last chapter, like, and,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: and I guess that's, what's impressive about some of these stories.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Going West to East.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think even in a loss or in
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: a win, I'm sorry, you saw the effects of it
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: with that Buffalo chargers game. Cause I just feel like
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: the chargers would have found a way to win that game.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: If it wasn't in Buffalo, I don't know why, but
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: like you, you get five takeaways. You have an early
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: lead on Josh Allen, but man, maybe because they had
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: to go all the way to Buffalo, they run on
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: the gas. I don't know, but he, he, I think
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: even in that situation, there might be an example of
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: that West to East thing being a struggle.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: They also just might be bad. I think that's part
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, they just might be bad.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Might be.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And I know that's going to really, really hurt a
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: lot of folks that want them to be the Super
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Bowl favorites. Chargers might be bad. And Josh Allen, why
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: he is.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: The most exciting quarterback to watch. I'm not going to
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: say he's the best quarterback going because there is a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: guy that wears number 15 for Kansas City that plays who's.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Like all of a sudden. Yeah. Oh, by the way,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: he does play. He's still playing. Get him in as
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: a backup.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: But it speaks to why Brett Favre pulled on the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: heartstrings the way he did. Because nobody has more fun
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and gives you more consternation watching and investing on his
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: team than Josh Allen.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: My man puts the ball out in harm's way like
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: nobody's business, Drew.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: He's like, whatever. We'll figure it out. We'll get it back.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: We'll have fun.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Time for a little Who's Hot, Who's Not brought to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: us by Donovan Jorgensen. Heating and cooling the HVAC experts
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: in the area. Check them out at donovanjorgensen.com. Billy, who
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: do you got?
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I've been waiting to say this one for a while.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Who's hot?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence, 19 of 29 for three TDs yesterday. And
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Jacoby Myers had seven of those grabs and a touchdown
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: as the Jacksonville Jaguars throttle. The fighting Racinis, I mean
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the New England Patriots, 35-6. Three QBs, or three people
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: throw passes, I should say, for the New England Patriots
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: in the game. Tommy DeVito finally comes out and graciously
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: pulls Drake May, who is in the not category. 14-25 yesterday,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: two picks, no touchdowns, sacked three times. His numbers on
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the year currently, one touchdown, and that was in week one,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I believe in the first half of their week. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: he's now gone five halves without throwing a touchdown and
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: has thrown six picks in those combined. Cause it has
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: been the most disastrous of starts for the Superbowl runners
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: up a year ago in the not category.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: And how about Trevor Lawrence, Billy heaven? You're back.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: You know, you've been a guy that's been defending Trevor Lawrence,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: believing in him for a while.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: And now you can say, you weren't wrong.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I do have to say, laying down at the one
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: yard line with eight minutes left was a little gauche,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: especially with a freaking plus two 75. Anytime touchdown ticket.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? That was point shaving and prop manipulation.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: in real time, Billy.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Oh my God.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I was, that made me say, what the hell? I've
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: never seen that. I was so mad. Because you know
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that I was hammering that touchdown.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: You're up huge. Score the touchdown. What are you doing?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: He is a nice young man. He didn't want anybody
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: rubbing their face in it. Wanted to get somebody else.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: The score, right?
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Wanted to get somebody else the score.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Chris Rodriguez, come on down. Malik Beasley would like a word.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, other than that, I mean, I'm not a
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist. I don't smoke the grass from the grassy knoll.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: But I'm sorry. When I saw that, I'm like, what
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: are we doing?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: And the worst thing is that the next play out
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: of the timeout, I wonder if in the timeout conversation,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: they're like, these a-holes are really calling timeouts with eight
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: minutes to go.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: All right, hand it off.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: We're scoring.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Hand it off.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: We're scoring now. We tried to be nice to you guys.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I just have never seen that. I saw no benefit or...
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: It's not something that's even discussed. It was weird.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I totally admit that.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's discussed for Dabo Sweeney because we win with
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: class at Clemson. Goodness, that wasn't class.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: That was just.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Weird as hell. Was that like Favre laying down for straight?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: No, it's worse than that.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Totally different. You hurt me.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: How about who's hot? Todd Munkin in the Cleveland Browns. Now,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: is that a game ball, too, or no? Just a
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: who's hot. That's a who's hot.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Who's hot? I mean, well, he could give you.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I don't deserve a game ball. I don't know that
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: they deserve a game ball. They had 11 points in
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. But Todd Munkin is living his absolute
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: best life. Drew, you wait until you're 60 years old
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: to get your first head coaching job in the world.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: And everybody is thinking. Oh, he's a seat filler, right? Yeah,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: we'll wait until the next 30-year-old guy that we actually
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: wanted to hire. We can feel better about doing it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: He's come in here. He's giving high fives to everybody
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: in the dog pound as they're running around Cleveland yesterday.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: That was amazing.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: That was a heck of a win and a cool
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: story for somebody who has served a lot in the NFL,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: finally getting his chance.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Well, my favorite spinoff of this is the discussion.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Who's hot?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Who's not? Who's less not? Who's more not hot? Who's
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: more not hot? Which Harbaugh brother? Because John lost his
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: quarterback and his best edge guy.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Best defensive player, Burns. In back-to-back weeks. And now his brother,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: of course, has got this Super Bowl team and a
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: historically good quarterback who's struggling. And I got my aviator
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: wearing offensive coordinator who was supposed to be the whiz
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: kid and game changer. And Mike McDaniel's over here like, Hey,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: I'm trying.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying. I'm trying doing whatever I can.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: It's not my fault.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I would definitely rather be surprisingly. I'd rather be Jim Harbaugh.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Cause one, you get to live in LA instead of
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: New York. True. That one's going to be, that one's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: going to be great, but then I wouldn't have to
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: watch what this Jameis Winston experience is going to be
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: for 14 more games. Cause that was, I know they
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: were one of the only games actually affected drew by
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the Northeaster that was rolling through weather-wise. But goodness gracious,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know that that game was going to be
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: any prettier in sunny and 75-degree heat. That was a
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: game only a sportsbook could love, and it lived up
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Do you think if the Giants will sign a quarterback
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: or sniff around, are they just going to roll with
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Jameis Winston?
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Because they did win.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, maybe you'd think to yourself, well, we could
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: try and say, I saw Russell Wilson sitting there on
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: the desk. with that cool haircut, and I'm just thinking.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: I don't think he's got much left, but I don't know.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: You have to wonder, our team's going to say, maybe
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: we should try, because Jameis Winston, I'm not really sure
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: if he's going to be the one, and if you
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: want to salvage it, but maybe there's nobody else out
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: there that would help you.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: All right. That is who's hot, who's not.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Let's just go ahead and award our current electric superhero
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: of the day right now, too, because I've got to
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: go with Miz. The exclamation point on his season. I
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: knew Murph was going to go get him in the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: middle of an inning so he could have the ovation,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: tip the cap.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: It played out perfectly. They get him the big lead.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: He's mowing them down. His last batter's a punch out.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: His ERA is 1.80, and it's his 250-second strikeout. He's
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: going to be the fourth Cy Young winner in Brewers history.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: That's remarkable.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Joining Raleigh Fingers, Pete Vukovic, and Corbin Burns.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Spectacular.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's a franchise-altering guy. generational player at this point.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: And, and Drew, that's the, uh, that's the best way
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: of putting it because when you look at how they
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: have built up their farm system, built the organization, yes,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: they got a lot of really good players. They got
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of really good players. I think they've got
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: a couple of stars that are start to build in
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: and bud into them, but for it to get accelerated
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: to this point, you need somebody in their second or
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: third year to as simplistic as it sounds, to walk
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: in and be the best player at their position. The
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: teams that actually go off and win it, they kind
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: of have one of those guys, and you right now
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: have one and a half, because if Churio gets a
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: full season... I think he's going to be in that conversation.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: What he did missing a month is pretty impressive.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Pretty insane.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: He's got a chance to win a gold glove in
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: left field. And for this, now you have the best
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: weapon and the best player at that position in the sport.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: And for him to be as dominating and as humble
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: as he is, it just fits so perfectly into a
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Brewers model.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And, you know, Freddy Peralta, for all of his charms,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: and we appreciated him here, like Chris Hook said it
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: last year going into the playoffs, it was like, well,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: is it going to be Freddy? And then we'll figure
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: it out. it's a bit more structured now with Miz
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and Henderson and Gasser and May. They got more options
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: and more depth there than they have in recent years.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: And if Woodruff had pitched last year, it would have
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: been different. But you now let that door open for
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: how many years, right? And you've been hoping and waiting
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: for that to be the case. How about a game
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: ball to one Kyle Harrison?
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know that it's enough. I don't know that
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I would trust it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: But the two innings and to go get the win
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: on Saturday night, I mean, after Dustin May, and to
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: pitch as confidently and in the zone as he did, man,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: that's a great... If those are the last innings he throws, Drew,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: great way to go into the offseason. I didn't think
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: his stuff was that great, but he did, I mean.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: He did it.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: At least you get a clean slate going into the offseason.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Something to build on.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: And he sounded pretty chipper about where his process is going.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: I know Hunter sent along some audio. We didn't play it.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Maybe we'll play it as we go along today or
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: this week. We'll play it for sure. We'll get some
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: of it in there, but he sounded pretty chipper about
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: his process and how he thinks he's, you know, he's like,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: it hasn't been fun, but I've been trying to work
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: through it every day and get back to a place
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: where I'm focusing on my process and not the results,
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: which I think is good. I think it's good to
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: forget about results when you're not having good ones. That's
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: a good, that's a good strategy to have, but I.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Think it's, you're right.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: I don't think it means anything for now and for
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: the playoffs, but I think it's a good sign for
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: him kind of heading into what he is going to
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: be a big off season for him to get stuff
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: figured out. So, Without a doubt, that's good stuff.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Miz is our superhero. Callcurrent.com, the website for Current Electric.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: The place to go for generator conversation or your general
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: safety because in the month of September, their fall special
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: going on for the safety inspection, it's dwindling down. This
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: is the last week of September. As Drew said, we're
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: about to be on to October. So callcurrent.com and get
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: on the schedule. So some history here from Sarah Langs.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I love Sarah Langs' account.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Miz led the league in strikeouts and led all qualifiers
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: in ERA and opposing.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Batting average was 157. Sounds like a Cy Young to me.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Since 1950, four pitchers have led Major League in all
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: three of those for a season.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: 1986, Mike Scott.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: 1979, J.R. Richard. And 1965, Sandy Koufax. One of those
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: guys I've heard of. You never heard of Mike Scott
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: or J.R. Richard?
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: They were both really good pitchers.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: I did not.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I heard of Michael Scott. Mike Scott and J.R.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Richard were the Houston cool unis, the Technicolor, you know.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, those were?
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Also, Jason Stark did a phenomenal piece on The Athletic
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: about Miz entitled The Meaning of the Miz about his
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: eye popping 100 miles an hour. He said, starts it out, Drew,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: every once in a while in sports, a human comes
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: along who is different from all other humans. Has it
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: truly hit us yet? that Jacob Mizorowski is one of
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: those freaks of nature.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Well, cause I think.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: There are some around the sports landscape that might be more, uh,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: more welcomed and, uh, hit by that realization come October.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Who was it that made the suggestion that somebody was
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: interviewing Murph and they said it was like the, he's the,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: he's like Roger Bannister cracking the four minute mile like Murph.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, Ms. Cause of what he's done.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the stat for you. Okay.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: San Diego pitchers, Mason Miller generally, combined to throw 753
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: pitches of 100 miles or more. That's second in the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: major leagues. Miz threw 1,115 pitches of over 100 miles.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: An hour.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: The Detroit Tigers as a team had five. Yeah, I
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: think everybody would like to throw 100.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people would like to throw 100.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: The thought that we can all just throw 100 might
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: not be real. 1,115 pitches of 100 miles an hour
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: or more. No one's ever come close to that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: That's Babe Ruth. When Babe Ruth was hitting more home
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: runs than entire teams.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: That's what Miz is doing.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: And I think that's what we've come to realize with
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Miz's kind of transcendence here is that it's not just
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: about being a great pitcher and getting outs and winning games.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: He's doing all that.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: But it's also the limit to what she can push
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: human performance and what we've seen and be a spectacle,
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: athletic spectacle every time he's out there makes him more
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: than just a great pitcher. It makes him a star
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: to be seen every time. It was sort of like that.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: You know, how far will Jordan jump?
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: How old is he?
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: This is the same thing with Miz. It's like, how
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: hard can he throw? How fast can he throw? It's
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: a show unto itself, which is great that he's on
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: our team.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: It's a blessing. All right, guys, we're giving Wynn the
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: day off. We'll talk to him on Friday.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: We didn't have that confirmed with him, so we'll get
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: a lot more of these games and kicks in. We
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: have a lot of great texts in.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Great texts here.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: More game balls and kicks in your texts coming up.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: You're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew, Billy,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and Armin bringing it to you. Game balls and kicks
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: to the balls.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: 877-794-1973. Get to the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line. Get
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: us your game balls and your kicks. We'll have some
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: fun with that. A lot of good texts coming in.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: And Derek in Whitewater with one that I really enjoyed
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: when we were talking about trying to figure out when
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the Brewers game is going to be on Saturday. Derek said,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what time the game is going to be.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I'll find out when my daughter's game is on Saturday.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Then I can guarantee you the Brewers game will start
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: within the hour that that's first pitch. Because it's an
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: hour and a half. It's only an hour and a
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: half in Slinger away. So whenever her game will be,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I'll miss the entire thing going to and from. It
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: does feel like that will be the case for many folks.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Because as the calendar flips to October, first off, there
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: are still... And it's really, really rude and inconsiderate. There
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: are still sick individuals that are deciding to have October weddings, right?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Every single year, every single year, there's people that wake up,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: look at the entire college football slate schedule and say,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: you know what?
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you should.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: They say October 17th feels like a great day to
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: have a wedding. June 17th would be a great day
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: to have a wedding. May 17th would be a great
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: day to have a wedding. October 17th is a great
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: day to sit on your rear end, eat chili, and
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: watch football. However, there's going to be a lot of
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: folks that realize.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: My wife really thinks that we're going to go to
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: the pumpkin patch at 1 o'clock.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: The pumpkin patch. I mean, that's what I was about
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: to say.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: We're really going for a hayride at noon?
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you think you've got something going on with the
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: weekend and Saturday and baseball playoffs?
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: How many different youth flag football games do I have
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: starting at 2 in the afternoon? So there's going to
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: be plenty of conflicts that roll in here for NLDS
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: game number one on Saturday.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: And maybe that was my game ball as well.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if it's a game ball or
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: a kick to the ball, depending on your perspective. 1-0.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Speaker 2 and I'm telling you, there's no more like
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: slap in the face. Like you think it's going to
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: happen on a weekend.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: No, we're going to the pumpkin patch. We're traveling.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: We're loading up everybody to wait in line, to overpay
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: for a gourd that frankly, nobody's actually eating or doing
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: anything with. No one does anything with a pumpkin except
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: display it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: And you're going to overpay. You don't roast the pumpkin seeds.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Well, actually There is an Armenian dish involving a pumpkin.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: I can't say I make it, though.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: It's a very famous Armenian dish.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: That sounds like you're running from the ground.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: But I'm just, I'm sorry.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Little private equity gets involved in these scams with these
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: pumpkin patches. It is a moneymaker now, and it's going crazy.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And you know what? We're not picking apples either.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: We can get them at the store.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: You've made an Armenian reference.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Brings to mind.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Game ball to our pal Matt Vaskersian.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, let's go, Matty. Matty V.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Matty V.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: More prints. Come on.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: We'll be in the chair.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just rolling with the prints every time, Matt. Matty
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: V will be in the chair for the first playoff game.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: He's got Phillies Braves. And NBC Peacocks got the first round,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the wildcard round. So they get this whole week.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: And what they're doing is, I think, pretty cool. They
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: have the play-by-play guy who can be generally a neutral
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: guy and then an analyst from each of the teams.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: So Vaskirjian's working with John Kruk and C.J. Nitkowski.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: And also Joey Votto's doing the inside the pitch analysis.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: So that's cool. They got that series.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: White Sox, Astros, they got Tom McCarthy with Steve Sohn
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and Jeff Blum as the analysts. So you're mixing in
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: the local guys. Now it's like they've been doing that with,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Dele was on.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I was going to say they've been doing some of
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: that with their weekly ones, which I appreciate.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Red Sox Yankees gets, I think, the goat here in
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: this round, Jason Panetti, who's awesome. And he's with Lou
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Merloni of the Red Sox and Girardi.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, phenomenal.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: That's going to be good.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: That's a great move.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: And then Cubs Padres, they got Dave Fleming on play-by-play
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: with Cubs analyst Jim Deshaies and our buddy Mud Grant
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: from the Padres.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: That's a good one. That's cool.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: And Dave Fleming just got, he was just on the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: call for the Badgers victory against the Penn State Nittany Lions.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: So he is all Peacock all the time.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: I like that. That's a good one.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: We should probably, uh, we could talk to Lev this week.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Cause he just saw Sparty in Nebraska.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Didn't he? I was going to say he did.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: He got up close and personal. Look at, uh, what
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: that looked like up in there in East Lansing. I'd
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: have to try to talk to Lev. They've done a
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: really good job. Peacock has of their baseball coverage. This
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: is year number one. Correct me if I'm wrong.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Um, as they took it over from ESPN, they, this
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: is the Sunday night baseball package that then built in
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: the first round that ESPN used to always have the playoffs. And, uh,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: they they've taken run with it. I think their broadcast
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: is good. Also, their cameras are just good. Like the
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: NBC broadcast of Sunday night football, Sunday night football never
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: felt bigger than Monday night football until NBC got the rights.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: And then they made it such a spectacle and such
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: a good show that it does. I think it, it
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: feels like the premier game of the week. It's the
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: most baseball. They did a good one too.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: They have the highest ratings for sure. At least they
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: did consistently. I'm assuming they still do Sunday night football.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: And a lot of that is because you're right, Billy,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: the NBC quality of, of the production.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: A couple of kicking the balls to our friend Marcus
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: in Iowa. He had shouted us out that he had
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: the overtime investment yesterday paying out 12-1 for the Ravens
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: and Cowboys. Lamar Jackson, seven seconds for real. Refs really
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: were ready to go home. No more free football here tonight.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: That was a wild finish for the Cowboys and Michigan.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: Western Michigan kind of Billy, you think situation or not
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: as much?
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: No, because I thought there was a second. When he
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: went down, there's clearly a second on the TV copy. Now,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: maybe there is only one clock in the NFL. That's
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the problem. We didn't know that we have our own
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: clock that you guys just aren't privy to in college football.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: That's actually been happening for a long time. You guys
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: are idiots for not realizing it. That's how we got
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: shamed in the Michigan situation. So much different here. But
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: goodness gracious, Dallas. Dallas was a lot of people's pick
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: to click in the offseason as one of the sneaky contenders.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: They sit here at one and two as well. And
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I know there's no style points. And you absolutely feel
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: better if you're a Cowboys fan than a Packers fan
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: right now. But they're still sitting in the same boat.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: And that was a game that, man, Drew, it felt
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: like they had that thing easily won. Just handed it
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: right back over there to Tyler Lupin. Wild.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Absolutely wild.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: You know, Dak's in a situation, again, you know, yeah,
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: just like Burrow, scoring a lot, defense isn't helping him.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's worth a game ball, but J.J.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Watt continues to.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Improve, not surprisingly.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: That's pretty good. He is good, and he's got a
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: different perspective than most guys in the chair, right? Like, obviously,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: a defensive perspective is different, but playing in the trenches,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: you hear just, it feels like he watches the game
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: a little bit different than it's always Brady, Romo, Aikman.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Understandably so. Yeah, they see it.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: You want to hear it from the quarterback side, but
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: it's cool to hear it from somebody that's watching a
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: different spot.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Kick to the balls to injuries in general.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: A lot of them. A lot of them.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: When it rains, it pours.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Former Badger Leo Chanel. That was a scary one. He
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: has season-ending neck surgery this morning, but he has a
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: feeling in his extremities and is expected to make a
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: full recovery. Man, that was terrifying. Whenever you see the
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: backboard get brought out, you know it's bad. But then
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: when they showed the highlight of it, you could tell.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Literally broke his neck.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: A fracture in his neck.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: It's every reason why when they do the heads-up football tutorials.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: It is going to be the most dangerous of the
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: games that you're playing outside of hockey. Um, it's the most,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: it's the most dangerous that you're playing, but, uh, there's
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: ways to make it safer. And that's just bang, bang.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: The guy's been playing hard his entire life. And, uh,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: first year with, with Washington tough, especially that day that
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: they had such a great win, uh, for the commanders
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: for that, uh, to go down was awful.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Glad to hear he's expected to be okay.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: And all that stuff, because obviously scary that the Stark
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: reminder and the Stark reality, the unfortunate reality of this game, it's.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: A violent game and these things are going to happen.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: And, you know, I know there's been a lot of
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: conversation this week about quarterbacks and when they go down
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: and baiting and things like that. You know, we do
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: our best to make it safer, but it's going to
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: be a violent game at the end of the day,
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: no matter what.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: That's just the nature of it. We mentioned the Brewers broadcast.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: It was the last of the year for Brewers TV
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: yesterday for Rock and BA and Sophia and Dilly and
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Vinny and the crew. It was also the last game
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: for a bunch of people. Mike Krukow said goodbye to
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the Giants booth. You had Howie Rose with the Mets.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Rick Riz with the Mariners, who's been there 40 years,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the voice of the Pacific Northwest baseball. Tommy Hutton, who
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: has been with the Marlins forever. He was Len Casper's
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: partner when Len Casper did it. Wow, that long ago.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Holy cow. A lot of the guys, the old heads,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: are exiting the stage, making room for the newer people.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: So game ball to all those guys, man.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Whoa!
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Job. You just don't bond.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: You bond with a baseball announcer more than just about
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: anything else. As much as people love Wayne and LePay
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: and they look forward to it, that's once a week.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Those guys are there every day, hundreds and 162.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: It's a different type of relationship that fans have with
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: a football team and a baseball team.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: And that daily.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: reminder and just friendship is one that you, that you
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: miss when they go away. And man, I watched a,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I watched Holly, how he rose, who I sadly had
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: to hear.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: And it made me sick.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: How many times I had to hear his call of
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo's home run a couple of years ago on ESPN.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Cause that was the only time they decided to watch
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: any baseball was when the Mets were in the playoffs.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Shockingly.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: So, um, But I've watched the video of him. They're
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: chanting his name at Citi Field. There's like 15,000 people
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: there because it's last week. It's in the middle of
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: an NFL game, Drew. They're absolute warm ass. Here's how
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: he rose, finishing out a great career, just wiping tears
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: away from his eyes saying, and the Mets are once
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: again getting drummed seven to two here tonight. So a great,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: great finish to the career.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: We forgot to mention to Dolph that College Game Day
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: is going to Iowa City. First time in 20 years.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: First time in 20 years.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: A non-SEC location.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Who'd have thunk?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Correct. For a game that's on CBS. It's going to
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: be such an awesome atmosphere down there, and that was
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: one of the reasons why I wanted Iowa to win
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: it so bad because you could tell that that was
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: going to be a game that's in there. And also,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: you look at in the day and age of college
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: football that it's, well, you always go and get the
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: next best thing. Shout out to Iowa Hawkeye fans being
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: good with where they were at and being happy being good.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: And now what that recipe for a long time was, uh,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: You'll have your flare-up years where all of a sudden
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: you'll have a chance, if you beat one to two
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: of those important teams, where you could stumble yourself into
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: not only a playoff berth, but they could find themselves
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: in Indianapolis. The way that their schedule breaks out, they
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: have three really, really tough games, one of which was
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: going to Ann Arbor. The other one is hosting... Ohio State,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: now they'll get the huge pop for it coming up
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: this week. And then, you know, you let the chips
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: fall where they may if they win the games that
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: they're expected to. Sadly, Wisconsin is one of those games
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: that they're expected to. But going to Washington doesn't look
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: nearly as difficult as Minnesota just rode the boat out
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: there in Seattle. So you don't know when you do
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: in the preseason, everybody looks at these schedules, Drew, and says, well,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: this team could make the playoff because of their schedule.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: A couple of those teams lost this weekend, one of
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: which was Penn State. Many people thought that they were
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: a dark horse team to make the college football playoff
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: because they just penciled in all of these wins that
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: you just should have. Wisconsin luckily able to throw a
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: huge wrench into those plans and probably a big fan
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: were the sports books of that because Penn State, the
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: highest ticketed team on terms of investments made to make
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: the college football playoff.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you have to think that they're loving that indeed.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: And yeah, you're right about Iowa.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, in a day and age where we're quick
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: to jump right away after every loss to, well, he's
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: not the one, he's not the guy, or he isn't it.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: I'm sure over the years, Iowa fans said that about
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Kirk Ferentz, right? Once upon a time, and there's been
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: ups and downs, but they've stayed steady with a guy
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: that's been good. And all of a sudden he's, you know,
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: become their Lombardi in a lot of ways. I mean,
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: maybe not with the national results, but with a really
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: good career and a legacy of winning and an identity
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: that they're proud of. And I, and yeah, I mean
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: the kind of the anomaly in sports these days. So
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: you have to give them credit for that.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: That, that game played out perfectly for Iowa though, too.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: You just punt your way into a good field position
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: and finish it off. How about David on a great
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: text here? He goes, you know, that there's a way
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: to work around these pumpkin patch and wedding conflicts, right?
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: You download the iHeartRadio app and listen to the games
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: available with an AirPod.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, now you're talking. Come on now.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, David, you're right. However, I just can't in good... Well, conscience, absolutely.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I don't feel bad about doing it. I'm just not
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: good in practice when I have to go up there
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: and give the speech to be listening to the game
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: because I will all.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Of a sudden be.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Welcome dearly beloved first in 10, Wisconsin at the 35
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: yard line. As we gathered here, son of a, you
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: just dangerously could blend it in there.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's a little different.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden you get a freestyle of LaPay
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: during the best man speech might not be the best
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: thing to go about.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: Although it might be better than I had planned to
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: do with the speech for you.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Now, now we're talking. Now you're talking. Not that you can't.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying it'd be cool.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: It would be. Yeah.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have a conversation. We're going to have
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: a conversation about that.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: A couple anecdotes. Send a text.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: Love it.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Love it. All right.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to come back and wrap things up on
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: this Monday. It's been a robust Monday. A fun non-pack.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: It's fun when the Packers don't lose a game to
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: do a show.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: It makes it a lot better, doesn't it?
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Back at it. Closing ceremonies next year in the huddle.

• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm sorry. There's no chance in hell that
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I was watching any kind of golf going on this weekend.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Can't believe people are watching that. Really disappointed in the Americans.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Didn't sound like we played very well throughout the entire event.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: But didn't they win? I think so, but it sounded
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: like to start out of the gates, they were very disappointed.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: It was a Badgers-like comeback. Yeah, they were down like
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: 7-3 right out of the gates. It was garbage to start.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I think they freight trained in this President's Cup so
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: many times. 11th straight win that they had. That they're like, well,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: what the heck? What are we doing here? This shouldn't
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: even be a competition. And also, kicking the balls to NBC,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: because I'm pretty sure that kicked the Badgers... off of
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: the NBC Sports Extra. Yeah, they won nine of the
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: 12 singles matches, which is unheard of.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: There we go. Come on now, USA. Let's go. I
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: can't say I was. That didn't even. It was Jacob Bridgeman.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: I forgot it was this weekend.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Didn't even factor in at all to possibly get a view.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: If that makes me a bad professional, so be it.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: I just. It wasn't even fine.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Armin. No, because it didn't even register into like maybe
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: put it in the quad box. you got basically eight
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: boxes up there with a pair of YouTube TVs rolling.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: And there was no chance that thing was factoring in.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: So I golf August.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: That transport that to the end of August, when we're
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: sitting here waiting for something to watch and patiently waiting
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: for football, because then we could actually enjoy it and
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: watch it. And it was, Get numbers.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Maybe a race.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: I was interested in quick game ball to the Polish sausage.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: Also clinched his season long championship. I don't remember Polish sausage.
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: I feel has been disrespected.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Over the years. You know, the hot dog is the
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: hot guy.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: You know, the brats, the old classic, you know, the chorizos,
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: the new guy, the block, you know, give, give credit
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: to that, that shady guy in the sunglasses, the Polish
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: sausage who won 21 to 20 over the chorizo.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Clinched it in the final year. Chorizo had 20 dubs? Chorizo, yeah.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Hunter had all the coverage.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: I was just going to say, Drew, I'm glad that
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: registered in your mind first. I would have thought no
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: chance that Chorizo had that close.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I think the biggest margin of victory I've ever seen
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: was on Friday night. Chorizo won by about 40 yards.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Man, with that hat, that is impressive. That's the heaviest thing.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: You really got to have a good forward lean.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: You know what? I'm sorry. The Chorizo won the race
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: to have 16. My bad.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: The, the, the trees were at 16. The Italian had
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: fake news. So the Polish beat Italian by, by virtue.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Of the trees are winning. So a little bit wrong.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: I was wrong there. Chorizo at 16. You're still a
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: good amount though.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Decent amount.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. 16 more times than I pick them to win. Yeah.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, when, when I'm there at the game and
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: everybody puts up their finger and you know, which finger
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: are you taking for which sausage?
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: I don't see anybody picking the Teresa. No, I'm old school.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: I'm picking the broad every time. I'm just like that.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: But I mean, it's some soul searching in the off
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: season for the broad who only had 11 wins took
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: fifth this year. I mean, can we get back to
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: the old, you know, brought where you were, you were
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: the old time dominant green Bay Packers type guy. You know,
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: I look at the broad.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: As the Yankees.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: There were a lot of people that said the only
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: thing good that happened at Lambeau field on Thursday night
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: was that Miller light one.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: The race to the cooler. I love it.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Because legendary moments start with the light. I mean, it
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: makes sense that that would happen. Trying to sprint to
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: the cooler. The light is always moving pretty well. Very
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: well played. Well played.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Miller Lite. All right.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Anything else we need to wrap up today? We covered
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: a lot of ground.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: I was going to say the only thing that was
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Packers related over the weekend, Drew, that I saw was
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport saying yesterday on NFL Network that the NFL
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: is officially requested to view the Josh Jacobs video while
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: he remains on the commissioner's exempt list.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Some of these parts of the report, there's nothing new
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: to it, but that is the hurdle that's got to
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: happen before we hear anything.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: New on the running back situation. I'm just resigned to it.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a six game because that seems
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: like the boilerplate stock. It's going to be six games.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Do you think we'll know it before week six? Do
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: you think they'll sooner rather than later say it's six
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: games or after week six, they'll be like, all right,
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: now you're off.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Well, he hasn't been suspended. Right.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: So I think he'll just be removed from the exempt list,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: and I don't think we'll know, but it'll be like
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: that week. Okay, it'll be that week.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: After six games, they're like, yep, you're off the exempt list.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: That makes sense.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: So then they don't have to suspend him, but they have.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's been getting paid. I was going to say,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: he's got to hold the money because then he's got
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: to pay it back when he gets suspended. It's almost
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: like they're trying to catch the shell game. Do they
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: fire with interest in there? Yeah, good question. Good question.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: All right, tomorrow on the program, we'll talk to Hunter Baumgart.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: About your Milwaukee Brewers.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Cannot wait for that.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: And we may or may not be basking in the
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: glow and drinking from the chalice of Bears fan tears
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: if they lose.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Tonight at a home against. Come on, Sean Mannion. Come on.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts and company. Come on. I need this.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: You need this.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: And then tomorrow is baseball palooza with four games.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: Going to be a blast.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging out with us.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: See you at 5 a.m. Peace.
