- 0:36Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Let's go.
- 0:37Speaker 4: I don't know that I've ever been more disappointed in
- 0:40Speaker 4: a group of people, Drew, than when I was in
- 0:41Speaker 4: Vegas and I saw that Kool and the gang was
- 0:43Speaker 4: playing at the Tropicana.
- 0:44Speaker 2: RIP.
- 0:45Speaker 4: And I said, guys, we've got to go see Kool
- 0:48Speaker 4: and the gang. I said, how old are you? I said,
- 0:50Speaker 4: old enough that I'm trying to get down.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 0:52Speaker 3: I mean, get down on it. I mean, I'm just
- 0:54Speaker 3: trying to hit a little celebration. What are we doing
- 0:56Speaker 3: here in September? They were at Summerfest years back. I
- 0:59Speaker 3: want to say it was 18, summer of 18. Cause
- 1:01Speaker 3: I was there with Lauren was one of our, I
- 1:03Speaker 3: don't remember. It could have been, but it was an awesome,
- 1:05Speaker 3: awesome show.
- 1:06Speaker 2: I know like, you.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Know, over time, the, the actual, you know, um, Yeah,
- 1:11Speaker 3: it might have been two of the original four gang members.
- 1:14Speaker 5: Well, who cares?
- 1:15Speaker 2: It's still the gang. It's still the gang. We're still celebrating.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Robert Bell, Ronnie Bell. We're celebrating. The gang. That's right. Boy,
- 1:21Speaker 2: but Outlast of the Trop. Cool Bell. Yeah, right?
- 1:24Speaker 4: All right.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Outlast of the Trop.
- 1:26Speaker 3: Rest in peace, Tropicana and Mirage. Better than the Legends show,
- 1:29Speaker 3: I got to imagine.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Cool and the Gang still touring, by the way.
- 1:32Speaker 2: That's the thing. I didn't miss my chance. What's left
- 1:34Speaker 2: of them.
- 1:35Speaker 4: Correct. The Skeletal Remains of Kool and the Gang is
- 1:38Speaker 4: still touring. There is still a chance for me to
- 1:39Speaker 4: go see them somewhere. Beating out the Beach Boys. They
- 1:42Speaker 4: might be at the Silver 7s.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Out in Vegas. I'll be there, but that's fine. The
- 1:46Speaker 2: one guy that survived is Kool.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Robert Cool Bell.
- 1:50Speaker 5: Okay, good.
- 1:50Speaker 1: So you got one of the core in there. The
- 1:52Speaker 1: gang is no longer here.
- 1:54Speaker 5: Gang's not here.
- 1:55Speaker 2: The gang's always with us. That's fine. I'm going to
- 1:58Speaker 2: give me a new gang. That's what I'm saying, right?
- 2:00Speaker 2: Hang out with a new gang. It's a legacy. It
- 2:02Speaker 2: lives on.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Brother Ronnie and a couple others, they passed recently, too,
- 2:07Speaker 1: a lot of guys. But Cool and the Bell. Cool
- 2:09Speaker 1: and the gang.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Billy wants it. This is what Billy wants here. This
- 2:13Speaker 2: is what Billy wants. This is what he wants. I
- 2:15Speaker 2: know it. Yeah, come on out. I want to get down.
- 2:20Speaker 4: There is not a song that has ever been made
- 2:23Speaker 4: that puts me in a better mood.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Than this one right here.
- 2:26Speaker 5: You're right.
- 2:26Speaker 2: I mean, this one is special. I'm not going to lie.
- 2:29Speaker 4: I mean, as you're just chopping it up, trying to
- 2:31Speaker 4: see if, cause you can't just walk right in and
- 2:33Speaker 4: start playing La Bamba at a party. But if you
- 2:36Speaker 4: put this on early in the night, It's just going
- 2:40Speaker 4: to have everybody doing a little bit of a standing dance.
- 2:42Speaker 3: You know, this is, this is these two songs you're playing.
- 2:46Speaker 3: They're winners for wedding DJs.
- 2:48Speaker 4: Yes.
- 2:49Speaker 2: That's going to get everyone.
- 2:50Speaker 4: You're going to slowly start getting and Sue to say,
- 2:52Speaker 4: I like this song.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Cool for every generation.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Yes.
- 2:57Speaker 2: No one's going to be upset. It's going to get
- 2:58Speaker 2: the dance floor.
- 2:59Speaker 4: Now might be aunt Gert dancing with like the grandson
- 3:02Speaker 4: over here. That's how it generally opens up.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:06Speaker 2: John Kurzawa. Good morning. Solid weekend. Brewers sweep. Badgers win.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Packers survive. Let's go. All right.
- 3:13Speaker 3: I like that. We'll get better vibes here. There's some,
- 3:15Speaker 3: cause I don't need these negative vibes. Everyone say, here
- 3:18Speaker 3: we go. Here's will D good win for the pack
- 3:20Speaker 3: of Badgers. First time since 19 with a sack fumble
- 3:22Speaker 3: for a touchdown. Hopefully they can keep it up.
- 3:26Speaker 4: It was a record-breaking performance for the Badgers. Tyrell Henry,
- 3:30Speaker 4: 14 grabs, school record. Colton Joseph, most passing yards by
- 3:34Speaker 4: a Badgers quarterback and a half.
- 3:36Speaker 2: That was an exciting one. He mentions that.
- 3:39Speaker 4: Anytime we get to bring up Matt Henningsen, I'm going
- 3:41Speaker 4: to be excited. He was the last Badger to have
- 3:43Speaker 4: a scoop and score. Good things for the Badgers there
- 3:46Speaker 4: on Saturday.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Mike Witt, morning boys. Mike Witt on YouTube. Victory Monday
- 3:50Speaker 3: never felt so good.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:53Speaker 3: I mean, I want to say never felt so good.
- 3:56Speaker 3: It feels good, but it's been a while.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I mean, it was 287 days between Packers victories, nine
- 4:05Speaker 1: months and one week. As Billy and I pointed out,
- 4:08Speaker 1: children were conceived and born into a world where the
- 4:12Speaker 1: Packers had not won a game during their lifetime. And
- 4:16Speaker 1: now our long national nightmare is over.
- 4:18Speaker 3: It was about a year ago when we capped off
- 4:20Speaker 3: a 2-0 start by beating the Commanders. And the Packers
- 4:24Speaker 3: had just got Micah beating the Lions and then the
- 4:27Speaker 3: Commanders on Thursday night. Two, everyone thought, top dogs in
- 4:29Speaker 3: the NFC. I was feeling great that morning.
- 4:32Speaker 2: I thought that. I was like, we're going all the way.
- 4:35Speaker 2: We're different. We're this. We're him. We're that. All that stuff.
- 4:38Speaker 2: I didn't, you know.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Meanwhile, like last year, just a year ago, the Packers
- 4:42Speaker 1: won two home games on Monday and a Thursday against
- 4:44Speaker 1: two of the top teams. The Chargers taking the opposite approach.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Yes, complete difference.
- 4:49Speaker 1: The Chargers are the second team in NFL history to
- 4:52Speaker 1: lose back-to-back games by double digits with both coming at
- 4:55Speaker 1: home against teams that had sub-200 winning percentages the previous season.
- 4:59Speaker 1: The only other team to accomplish that back in 1926,
- 5:03Speaker 1: the Racine Tornadoes.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Jeez, come on now. Who played just one more game
- 5:08Speaker 2: in their history and then folded.
- 5:09Speaker 4: Yes.
- 5:10Speaker 2: We're seeing tornadoes. We're seeing tornadoes stand up.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Penultimate game was as bad as what the Chargers have
- 5:16Speaker 1: put on paper the last two games.
- 5:19Speaker 3: Hey, if anybody's grandpa's a descendant of the tornadoes.
- 5:21Speaker 5: Justin Herbert.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Who's got it better than them? Nobody.
- 5:25Speaker 5: Alive.
- 5:26Speaker 4: Chargers next seven games at Buffalo, at Seattle, hosting Denver,
- 5:32Speaker 4: at Kansas City, at the Rams. Home against the Texans
- 5:35Speaker 4: at the Ravens. So, going to be hard for Justin
- 5:38Speaker 4: Herbert to win the MVP with that schedule. Going to
- 5:40Speaker 4: be hard to start 0-2 and roll there. How about
- 5:43Speaker 4: the Las Vegas Raiders? And how about Kirk Cousins? Kirk O'Chains?
- 5:47Speaker 4: I mean, listen, they thought Fernando Mendoza was going to
- 5:50Speaker 4: be crazy once he got out to Las Vegas. Apparently,
- 5:52Speaker 4: he just needed Kirk Cousins to walk out there with
- 5:55Speaker 4: some Kohl's cash and take that city by storm.
- 5:58Speaker 2: I'm a Falcons feel about that right now. I'm right
- 6:00Speaker 2: about now. I mean, they could use, you know, this
- 6:02Speaker 2: is true. I'm just saying use anybody with a functional
- 6:05Speaker 2: right arm. Take it right now.
- 6:06Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 6:06Speaker 4: I do feel bad for my boy, Jack strand. I
- 6:09Speaker 4: was waiting for Jack to get his opportunity and he
- 6:13Speaker 4: did what a good young Wisconsin boy would do. Honor
- 6:16Speaker 4: Brett Lorenzo Favre by throwing a pick six on your
- 6:18Speaker 4: first three.
- 6:19Speaker 5: How about that?
- 6:19Speaker 2: That's what you need. That's what you need. What did
- 6:22Speaker 2: you say? How did it go, Bill? You said it yesterday.
- 6:24Speaker 2: No one's going to remember. It was for a touchdown.
- 6:26Speaker 2: As Brett told Jerry Glanville, Coach, no one's going to
- 6:29Speaker 2: remember that in 30 years. It was for a touchdown. Well, no,
- 6:32Speaker 2: 35 years later, we still remember it, 1991. That's right.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Hey, by the way, the Racine Tornadoes in 1926 were
- 6:36Speaker 3: the Racine Legion from 22 to 25 and played at
- 6:38Speaker 3: Horlick Field.
- 6:43Speaker 2: And Racine, how about that?
- 6:44Speaker 1: Where else would you play?
- 6:45Speaker 3: I know.
- 6:46Speaker 2: It's a spot. Just Googling it here. It's very exciting.
- 6:50Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Your ticket to the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line for
- 6:53Speaker 1: game balls and kicks to the balls. Let's get it underway.
- 6:56Speaker 1: You know the drill. You're standing in the locker room.
- 6:58Speaker 1: You get to hold the ball aloft. It's a joyous situation.
- 7:01Speaker 1: You're surrounded by athletes in various stages of undress. You
- 7:05Speaker 1: can fantasize that one to your heart's content. But you
- 7:07Speaker 1: get to award a game ball for a job well done.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Today on the program here is your official huddle game ball.
- 7:13Speaker 5: A dagger delivered.
- 7:17Speaker 4: By the rookie. Wayne Larravee, 287 days between daggers. What
- 7:21Speaker 4: a dagger drought. I like that he even said it
- 7:23Speaker 4: before the play, Drew. Dagger drawn.
- 7:25Speaker 2: I got that thing out. I'm ready to play.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Here's drawn. He had faith in Trey Smack. Then conversely,
- 7:31Speaker 1: if you'd like to give a kick to the huevos
- 7:33Speaker 1: for someone who needs to do better, job not well done.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Performance improvement plan, a bad Yelp review. This is what
- 7:40Speaker 1: that sounds like.
- 7:41Speaker 5: Gotta focus, fellas.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Focus.
- 7:44Speaker 2: So good. So good, dude. Gotta focus, fellas.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Focus.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Larry McCarron.
- 7:49Speaker 1: They should put that on a loop, and when the
- 7:52Speaker 1: Packers aren't playing well at home, they should just punch that.
- 7:54Speaker 2: As a hotkey into the stadium. A thousand percent. Focus, fellas.
- 7:57Speaker 5: Bang.
- 7:58Speaker 2: They should carve it in wood as a quote and
- 7:59Speaker 2: put it in the locker room.
- 8:01Speaker 3: The best thing is, like, the two seconds in between
- 8:04Speaker 3: before Wayne actually goes.
- 8:07Speaker 2: You're right, Rock. He's like, I got nothing else. Thank
- 8:10Speaker 2: God somebody is saying it.
- 8:12Speaker 4: And it was a momentary lapse in focus. That moment
- 8:17Speaker 4: ended up being like three quarters, but luckily the Packers
- 8:19Speaker 4: were able to grab their focus just in time. I mean,
- 8:22Speaker 4: the amount of penalties yesterday was nauseating. I know we
- 8:24Speaker 4: got a number of different texts here. That was going
- 8:27Speaker 4: to be my first kick to the huevos.
- 8:30Speaker 5: Got to focus, fellas. Focus.
- 8:32Speaker 1: NFL officials in general and the points of emphasis memos,
- 8:36Speaker 1: because the taunting thing was a point of emphasis. There
- 8:38Speaker 1: were three called in the first half of the noon games,
- 8:41Speaker 1: including one on Javon Bullard, who broke up a pass
- 8:44Speaker 1: against a former college teammate and talked a little chirp.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Come on, man.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Let's give the guy a little allowance. Boys will be boys.
- 8:51Speaker 1: And if we're going to police that, we have bigger problems.
- 8:54Speaker 2: But in general.
- 8:56Speaker 1: What was it, 29 accepted penalties in the Packers game yesterday,
- 8:59Speaker 1: was it?
- 9:00Speaker 2: 27, 13 and 14, I believe.
- 9:02Speaker 1: But the Packers had like three that were unaccepted. Could
- 9:06Speaker 1: have been called for a lot more. Too much laundry
- 9:08Speaker 1: on the field. If you cut the number of penalties
- 9:12Speaker 1: in the league by 20% to 30% today moving forward,
- 9:16Speaker 1: nobody would notice and the game would be better.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with you.
- 9:22Speaker 4: The tough thing is it's too sloppy of play to
- 9:25Speaker 4: not blow a lot of whistles right now. And this
- 9:28Speaker 4: is the one way that I would defend the officiating
- 9:30Speaker 4: is the games, especially early, have never been worse. They're
- 9:35Speaker 4: very compelling, very exciting, but the execution has never been
- 9:39Speaker 4: more shaky.
- 9:40Speaker 1: So the first month of the regular season is just
- 9:42Speaker 1: an extension of the preseason.
- 9:44Speaker 4: Big time, and you're seeing it. We talked about it
- 9:46Speaker 4: yesterday with Christian Watson. He's one of their most prolific
- 9:49Speaker 4: blockers on the outside. He got flagged for one, probably
- 9:52Speaker 4: could have gotten called for two or three more, where
- 9:54Speaker 4: just not in the right place, not there on time.
- 9:57Speaker 1: The calls I'm looking at, though, are like the.
- 10:00Speaker 2: um.
- 10:01Speaker 1: The the bullard uh you know a.
- 10:03Speaker 4: Lot of the personal fouls are the ones that seem
- 10:05Speaker 4: like the most subjective.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Yeah they do but like the bullard illegal contact when
- 10:10Speaker 1: it was you know 20 yards from the play and
- 10:12Speaker 1: the guy wasn't quarterback wasn't even looking there like the
- 10:14Speaker 1: ticky tack ones like that and Any play on special,
- 10:18Speaker 1: can we have a punt or a change of possessions
- 10:20Speaker 1: without a freaking penalty on a kickoffs and returns? I mean, yeah, yeah,
- 10:25Speaker 1: they're penalties, but sometimes that block in the back thing
- 10:28Speaker 1: when a guy's sliding by a defender and he kind
- 10:31Speaker 1: of breathes on him and he falls, to me, you
- 10:35Speaker 1: could show some discretion. If it affects the play, if
- 10:38Speaker 1: the guy was going to make a tackle, sure. If
- 10:40Speaker 1: it's kind of shoulder to shoulder and technically it was
- 10:43Speaker 1: block in the back, Those are rough ones for me.
- 10:46Speaker 1: It kills the flow.
- 10:47Speaker 3: That's where it gets tough because then it feels like
- 10:49Speaker 3: it's becoming inconsistent, which is even more frustrating because you're like, well, okay,
- 10:53Speaker 3: why is this? I mean, Jordan not getting a lot of,
- 10:56Speaker 3: you know, roughing calls for him, but we're getting them
- 10:58Speaker 3: called on us all the time. It just feels like
- 11:00Speaker 3: you get picked on and maybe that's not true, but
- 11:03Speaker 3: it feels that way.
- 11:04Speaker 2: And when you see the.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Flip side of that is when you let something go
- 11:06Speaker 1: for three quarters and then you decide to call it
- 11:07Speaker 1: in the fourth.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Quarter, then it's like, well, that's a problem.
- 11:10Speaker 4: That was the one that I felt more, more was,
- 11:13Speaker 4: was the most egregious part of the penalties that were
- 11:15Speaker 4: called in week one was the way the game had
- 11:18Speaker 4: been officiated for three quarters. And then the way that
- 11:20Speaker 4: it was on that drive where you get called for
- 11:23Speaker 4: three that go for first downs, the, the one yesterday,
- 11:26Speaker 4: like the Bullard one from I'm screaming immediately as he
- 11:30Speaker 4: starts talking, turn around, turn around, Turn around. If I
- 11:34Speaker 4: got a chance to say it three times, then you,
- 11:37Speaker 4: then you lingered too long, right? Then you have now
- 11:40Speaker 4: put it into the hands of people that are clearly
- 11:43Speaker 4: looking to do something to make themselves a part of
- 11:46Speaker 4: the game. And that's where you need to be smarter
- 11:49Speaker 4: with it. The roughing the passer one is the one
- 11:51Speaker 4: that I just will not fully understand. And it's clear
- 11:54Speaker 4: and obvious that the players don't understand it. I know
- 11:58Speaker 4: we need to keep the quarterback safe. They are the
- 12:01Speaker 4: most important part and asset of the games. But we're
- 12:04Speaker 4: already on, like, as Marcus and Iowa pointed out, I
- 12:06Speaker 4: think 37 or 38 quarterbacks have already taken snaps in
- 12:09Speaker 4: the NFL two weeks in.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Quarterbacks are going to get hurt.
- 12:13Speaker 4: It's just going to be a fact of the matter.
- 12:15Speaker 4: But to make it so ambiguous as to what the
- 12:19Speaker 4: call is and give us a clean and concise way
- 12:23Speaker 4: of saying, this is roughing the passer, this is not,
- 12:27Speaker 4: and put it to bed with the landing on guys
- 12:29Speaker 4: and being able to brace yourself.
- 12:31Speaker 5: Because.
- 12:32Speaker 4: you're falling and you're 300 pounds. There's only so much
- 12:35Speaker 4: that you're going to be able to brace before you
- 12:37Speaker 4: fall onto the turf.
- 12:38Speaker 3: And this is still tackle football, whether or not you
- 12:41Speaker 3: try to fall on them or not. And how you
- 12:43Speaker 3: indicate that to the officials, this is still tackle football
- 12:46Speaker 3: and you have to tackle guys because they're going to
- 12:48Speaker 3: try and get out of tax. So at some point
- 12:50Speaker 3: it becomes sort of ridiculous in a way, because I
- 12:53Speaker 3: don't know what you're supposed to do as a deep
- 12:54Speaker 3: defender in some of these situations. And I've long said,
- 12:57Speaker 3: you know, people say that about basketball a lot, but
- 12:59Speaker 3: it's the toughest game to officiate. I think it's football
- 13:01Speaker 3: because it's, it's literally meant to be a physical game.
- 13:04Speaker 3: Like you're meant to block, tackle, be physical, touch other dude.
- 13:08Speaker 3: I mean, pause, but you're meant to touch these guys
- 13:10Speaker 3: and try and be physical. But then a lot of
- 13:12Speaker 3: these calls are, you know, based on that. So it
- 13:15Speaker 3: is hard to officiate. I have some sympathy for officials
- 13:17Speaker 3: on that, but that, and, and the, and the taunting stuff,
- 13:21Speaker 3: I blame John Mara because it was the, what three
- 13:22Speaker 3: or four off seasons ago where he started this push
- 13:25Speaker 3: and this drive and the, and the competition committee to
- 13:27Speaker 3: start calling taunting more because that's what fans want. And
- 13:30Speaker 3: I always made fun of that and disagree with it.
- 13:32Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it's not what fans want, but it's
- 13:34Speaker 3: a frustrating thing. Now, this is not to absolve the
- 13:37Speaker 3: Packers of their own culpability and penalties. There's too many
- 13:40Speaker 3: of them, and the Packers have to fix them. But
- 13:43Speaker 3: it also seemed to be coming at the most inopportune
- 13:45Speaker 3: times for the Packers. So whether or not, you know,
- 13:49Speaker 3: thankfully it didn't cost the Packers the game yesterday, but
- 13:52Speaker 3: it very well could have, it felt like. Because it's
- 13:54Speaker 3: just getting crazy. And Bullard, yes, can't put himself in
- 13:56Speaker 3: that position. But then again, I'm sure a lot worse.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Every play in the NFL goes uncalled. And that's just
- 14:02Speaker 3: the reality of it. Because you can't call every play.
- 14:04Speaker 3: And guys, this is an emotional, physical game. Guys are
- 14:07Speaker 3: going to talk. They're going to talk trash. They're going
- 14:10Speaker 3: to do all those things. And you aren't going to
- 14:12Speaker 3: eliminate it from the game. When you have the most emotional,
- 14:15Speaker 3: maximum effort, physical game on the planet going on from football.
- 14:20Speaker 3: you know, the highest caliber athletes in the world. That's
- 14:23Speaker 3: just the way it goes. That's the way it's going
- 14:25Speaker 3: to be.
- 14:25Speaker 1: There's Armand's declaration of the day.
- 14:27Speaker 2: I like it.
- 14:29Speaker 1: And that's the way it goes.
- 14:30Speaker 2: That's the way it is. That's the way it is.
- 14:31Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 14:31Speaker 2: That's the way it is. And Dennis on earning quote
- 14:34Speaker 2: their first win. They earned a win. They won the
- 14:36Speaker 2: game yesterday.
- 14:36Speaker 1: They won the game.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Period.
- 14:38Speaker 3: It looked bad maybe. Yes, we can say all those things.
- 14:41Speaker 3: Just like it looked good in moments in week one,
- 14:43Speaker 3: but they didn't earn the win. The Packers won yesterday.
- 14:45Speaker 3: We can say that. I understand it didn't look perfect.
- 14:48Speaker 1: But this is the way it goes.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:53Speaker 1: You can't say.
- 14:55Speaker 3: Look, the Saints beat the Ravens. The Raiders beat the Chargers, right?
- 14:59Speaker 3: The Browns beat the Bucs.
- 15:01Speaker 4: And now the Buccaneers are going to host the Minnesota Vikings,
- 15:03Speaker 4: the leader in the NFC North, coming up next weekend. Also,
- 15:07Speaker 4: by the way, kick to the balls to Baker Mayfield.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Got to focus, fellas.
- 15:11Speaker 5: Focus.
- 15:12Speaker 4: Talking for the last seven months about where and who
- 15:16Speaker 4: that home opener is against.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Oh, who's that home opener against?
- 15:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Oh, the Browns. Oh, the Browns.
- 15:21Speaker 3: Right.
- 15:21Speaker 2: He didn't write the check. He didn't cash the check.
- 15:23Speaker 1: That's awesome.
- 15:24Speaker 4: Way to cash the check that your ass couldn't write. Also,
- 15:28Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson, we didn't ask you for 500 yards and
- 15:30Speaker 4: four touchdowns. 24 for 30, 200 yards and two touchdowns.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Works pretty damn good, though, Deshaun Watson. Are you giving
- 15:36Speaker 2: him a game ball? Game ball to Deshaun Watson.
- 15:38Speaker 5: A dagger delivered by the rookie.
- 15:41Speaker 4: He was hitting his celly on the sidelines. He was
- 15:43Speaker 4: enjoying himself there and embarrassed the Buccaneer fans that waited
- 15:48Speaker 4: that long, but was able to celebrate with the fans
- 15:52Speaker 4: of the Cleveland Browns who were there, flew to Tampa,
- 15:56Speaker 4: probably just for the vacation, made the the mission to stay,
- 16:00Speaker 4: then sat through a two and a half hour rain
- 16:03Speaker 4: delay to watch their team win a game. Maybe the
- 16:05Speaker 4: only one they get this year, but they got one
- 16:07Speaker 4: and they got to see it in person. That was impressive. 2319,
- 16:10Speaker 4: a victory over the Tampa Buccaneers. That was a wild
- 16:13Speaker 4: situation with the delay yesterday.
- 16:14Speaker 3: I saw somebody on Twitter after Saturday because there were
- 16:16Speaker 3: some lightning delays across college football that was upset and
- 16:19Speaker 3: saying they should just stop doing the lightning delay. No
- 16:22Speaker 3: one ever gets hit with lightning. I don't know how
- 16:23Speaker 3: you guys feel about that. If I should give him
- 16:25Speaker 3: a game ball or a kick to the kick. Take
- 16:28Speaker 3: to the ball for that take.
- 16:29Speaker 5: Focus, fellas.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Focus. Some of these delays are getting wild. But, hey,
- 16:34Speaker 2: safety first, right?
- 16:35Speaker 1: Safety first.
- 16:36Speaker 3: All right.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Game balls and kicks to the balls. We, our player,
- 16:40Speaker 1: great clips, great player of the game on Packers OT
- 16:42Speaker 1: was Lucas Van Ness. That was kind of a no-brainer.
- 16:44Speaker 1: But game ball, Sky Moore.
- 16:47Speaker 5: The dagger delivered by the rookie.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Who was huge yesterday. And game ball, KMA Cord by extension.
- 16:54Speaker 5: The dagger delivered by the rookie.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Special teams for years. Nags has been beating the drum.
- 17:00Speaker 1: We didn't care about excellence. We just wanted competence. And
- 17:05Speaker 1: now we've gotten competence plus.
- 17:08Speaker 4: I was going to say, yeah, this is competence plus.
- 17:10Speaker 4: You had to pay for the premium subscription to be
- 17:12Speaker 4: able to get this one.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Definitely.
- 17:13Speaker 1: And Sky Moore is doing things that we didn't think
- 17:15Speaker 1: possible by anybody in a Green Bay uniform.
- 17:18Speaker 2: And it's nothing crazy.
- 17:19Speaker 4: It's a one-year contract. They did a very similar thing
- 17:22Speaker 4: for McCole Hardman. My man fumbled the first punt return
- 17:25Speaker 4: chance he had at Lambeau, and Sky Moore has just
- 17:27Speaker 4: been nails ever since.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Sky Moore had 208 return yards yesterday. The Packers had
- 17:32Speaker 1: 199 yards of offense.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Okay. Yep, yep. Seems significant. Seems like it helps.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Four punt returns and four kickoff returns, and the punt
- 17:40Speaker 1: return was a turning point of the game.
- 17:42Speaker 5: Absolutely.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Absolutely. putting the Packers in the red zone for them
- 17:45Speaker 1: to get another field goal.
- 17:46Speaker 4: Yeah, Lord only knows if they were going to actually
- 17:48Speaker 4: move the ball on that possession if it wasn't for
- 17:50Speaker 4: that return.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Game ball there.
- 17:53Speaker 1: And then game ball to everybody who said Rich Passaccia
- 17:55Speaker 1: needed to go. The Packers weren't going to move on
- 17:56Speaker 1: from him. He forced their hand, apparently. They didn't run
- 18:01Speaker 1: it back, and Kamekord is good. They're a good unit now, suddenly.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Go figure. We'll see.
- 18:10Speaker 4: They're only going to be as good as the one
- 18:12Speaker 4: week because now we've got to make sure that you
- 18:13Speaker 4: don't double it down by giving up the 68-yard kick
- 18:16Speaker 4: return that sets up the next score against you like
- 18:19Speaker 4: the Vikings won. Just like a bullpen guy, you're only
- 18:22Speaker 4: as good as your next appearance, but special teams are
- 18:25Speaker 4: a big plus so far. Collective kick to the balls,
- 18:28Speaker 4: I think we've gotten it five times so far.
- 18:30Speaker 2: To Fox Audio Department. Gotta focus, fellas. I heard about that.
- 18:35Speaker 3: I was obviously locked on the radio, but I heard
- 18:36Speaker 3: about that on TV. Everyone was texting.
- 18:38Speaker 1: That, to me, when that happens and you have a
- 18:41Speaker 1: glitch like that, for those who don't know, if you
- 18:43Speaker 1: were listening to Wayne and Larry, shout out to you.
- 18:44Speaker 2: You should have been.
- 18:46Speaker 1: If you don't sync up and stuff. For chunks of
- 18:48Speaker 1: the game and key moments, we were getting audio from
- 18:51Speaker 1: the Vikings-Bears game during the Packers broadcast.
- 18:53Speaker 2: I don't know how that happened.
- 18:54Speaker 3: Let me Greg Olson get here. I'm not going to
- 18:56Speaker 3: say I'm some sort of wizard with audio, but I
- 18:58Speaker 3: don't know how that happened.
- 18:59Speaker 1: And For me, it's like watching that unfold and I
- 19:03Speaker 1: know that there's technology and stuff and we're spoiled and
- 19:06Speaker 1: the red zone now has commercial stuff popping up and
- 19:10Speaker 1: nothing's as good as it used to be. But that said,
- 19:13Speaker 1: it was like watching that. It was surreal that it
- 19:16Speaker 1: happened and then it happened again. And it happened for
- 19:18Speaker 1: a long chunk of time.
- 19:20Speaker 2: That's what it indicates to me.
- 19:21Speaker 3: It must've been a problem that it wasn't just a
- 19:23Speaker 3: guy hitting the wrong button or raising the wrong finger.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Well, there's something, but, and we know what it's like
- 19:28Speaker 1: to have technical issues.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Okay.
- 19:30Speaker 1: We know satellites and the like, but it struck me
- 19:34Speaker 1: like that, having that happen, even though, okay, it's what
- 19:38Speaker 1: team was this? Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma are what
- 19:40Speaker 1: the D team.
- 19:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 19:41Speaker 1: CRD tech crew team on, on, on the weekend of
- 19:45Speaker 1: one of the networks. It wasn't, there wasn't a marquee game.
- 19:48Speaker 1: It wasn't shown to much of the nation. I think,
- 19:50Speaker 1: you know, Wisconsin, New York, and Utah. The small coverage map, yeah.
- 19:54Speaker 1: For some reason, Utah got it, I think. The Mormons
- 19:57Speaker 1: are big Jets fans. Big time, J-E-T.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Really?
- 20:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Well, they appreciated the soaking of the rain yesterday. There
- 20:03Speaker 2: you go.
- 20:05Speaker 3: Pause.
- 20:05Speaker 2: Sorry, I was sitting on that one.
- 20:07Speaker 1: That was too easy.
- 20:07Speaker 2: I was sitting on that one.
- 20:08Speaker 1: That was too easy, but... It struck me. It was
- 20:11Speaker 1: like having that screw up, like never used to happen.
- 20:13Speaker 1: You couldn't even fathom it happening. Think of all the
- 20:15Speaker 1: times you watched NCAA tournament games when they had, you know,
- 20:18Speaker 1: back in the day, they were doing their own red zone,
- 20:21Speaker 1: flipping you game to game. Like you never had audio issues.
- 20:23Speaker 1: It's like seeing a typo in Sports Illustrated. Sports Illustrated
- 20:28Speaker 1: was like notoriously clean copy. They never a mistake, never
- 20:32Speaker 1: a caption wrong, never a misspelling or a date wrong.
- 20:35Speaker 2: They didn't get anything wrong.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Until they started to fire copy editors and quality control
- 20:40Speaker 1: got relaxed and private equity got involved. And suddenly, Oh man,
- 20:44Speaker 1: there's a mistake in sports. It's like, it was shocking.
- 20:47Speaker 1: And then not shocking. So we can't let our guard down.
- 20:50Speaker 1: That was shocking yesterday to get the wrong audio. It's like,
- 20:53Speaker 1: how the hell does that happen? It can't happen again.
- 20:55Speaker 1: Will it be addressed? Did Marshawn write about it?
- 20:57Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 20:58Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 20:58Speaker 2: Marshawn's going to have to write about it. That'll definitely
- 21:01Speaker 2: be in the athletic. I, uh.
- 21:04Speaker 3: But I would think that I would think the issue
- 21:06Speaker 3: is deeper technically than just one guy.
- 21:09Speaker 2: They have sound plus. I, that's a, I didn't say it.
- 21:13Speaker 3: I didn't.
- 21:15Speaker 2: No, this guy did. This guy did.
- 21:16Speaker 4: His post game was interrupted on, on a Saturday night
- 21:19Speaker 4: because it couldn't get it anywhere outside of one listening audience.
- 21:22Speaker 4: Like I do understand it is very difficult to have
- 21:24Speaker 4: it consistently work. But when, as Drew said, you are
- 21:28Speaker 4: a multi-billion dollar operation, right?
- 21:30Speaker 2: Broadcasting NFL games. Absolutely. Uh, you, One time? Hard to fathom.
- 21:35Speaker 2: All right, we got you. All right. Shame on me.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Shame on you.
- 21:39Speaker 4: No, not shame on me for being able to allow
- 21:41Speaker 4: it to happen twice. And the second time, I mean,
- 21:43Speaker 4: it lasted like two and a half, three minutes.
- 21:45Speaker 2: And there was a... I didn't know if they were just...
- 21:46Speaker 2: Seems like forever.
- 21:47Speaker 4: I didn't know if they were just trying to test
- 21:48Speaker 4: drive some new NFC North red zone.
- 21:51Speaker 2: I wonder if there was something going on. The division
- 21:53Speaker 2: is so good.
- 21:53Speaker 4: You guys got to know everything that's happening in this game.
- 21:56Speaker 3: They clearly had a system that wasn't... Because there was...
- 21:59Speaker 3: Other games had issues with video bleeding improperly with audio.
- 22:03Speaker 2: And who knows these days, maybe it's some sort of
- 22:05Speaker 2: new AI system.
- 22:06Speaker 5: Gremlins.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Don't know. Also, the TV was way behind radio yesterday.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Big time. That was a huge. Big time. That was
- 22:13Speaker 2: an indicator to me that something might not be right.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Even in the building here. yeah russ douglas had his
- 22:18Speaker 1: feed and i was like two or three plays behind.
- 22:20Speaker 3: It was like it's normally 15 or 20 seconds behind
- 22:23Speaker 3: okay when we're doing this it was like two minutes
- 22:25Speaker 3: behind i'm like all right something's.
- 22:27Speaker 4: Not right tv shows again why you should just be
- 22:29Speaker 4: listening to 95 7 big fm or the games right
- 22:33Speaker 4: here on box sports 920 877-794-1973 we're at halftime of
- 22:36Speaker 4: the huddle scott dolphin's off.
- 22:37Speaker 1: He was at the bears game yesterday thoughts and prayers
- 22:40Speaker 1: for the for the.
- 22:42Speaker 2: That's a tough scene. He's still getting out of traffic
- 22:44Speaker 2: down there, probably.
- 22:45Speaker 1: He'll join us tomorrow, but when we come back, we'll
- 22:48Speaker 1: spin through a little Who's Hot, Who's Not, plenty of candidates.
- 22:50Speaker 1: You're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew Billion-Armond
- 22:54Speaker 1: bringing it to you, the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Yeah, baby.
- 23:01Speaker 1: Time for a little Who's Hot, Who's Not, brought to
- 23:02Speaker 1: us by Donovan Jorgensen, heating and cooling. Dolph is not here.
- 23:06Speaker 1: I don't know whether he's hot, cold, wet.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Probably still drying off.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Nauseous from Caleb Williams getting carted off in the Bears.
- 23:16Speaker 2: 6-3 loss.
- 23:17Speaker 1: You put up 59 one week, then you score 3.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL in 2026. Still averaging 31 a game.
- 23:24Speaker 4: They also saw the quarterback go off on a Kobe
- 23:27Speaker 4: Bryant-esque cart trip off to the field with what could be,
- 23:32Speaker 4: as Mike Florio said last night, as mild as a
- 23:34Speaker 4: grade one hamstring.
- 23:35Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
- 23:36Speaker 3: You know, you sit there and you're like, oh, man,
- 23:39Speaker 3: you know, non-contact, you start to kind of feel bad.
- 23:42Speaker 3: And then you realize my man's acting like Teddy Bridgewater
- 23:44Speaker 3: when he, you know.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Bruce water actually almost lost. I know exactly.
- 23:50Speaker 3: Yeah. And Caleb got a grade one, like his leg hurts. Like,
- 23:53Speaker 3: give me, you got a sore leg.
- 23:54Speaker 1: If it's grade one, if he's even like, you know,
- 23:57Speaker 1: on the field running around this week, I will, I
- 24:01Speaker 1: will lump him in with the great Alex Sanchez, the
- 24:03Speaker 1: Brewers outfielder. First guy suspended in the steroid era. He
- 24:07Speaker 1: wants like, he was going after a ball and he
- 24:09Speaker 1: kind of crashed into the wall. And then they went
- 24:12Speaker 1: and got like two guys carried him off the field.
- 24:16Speaker 1: From the outfield.
- 24:17Speaker 2: Two guys. Like they had like a little left, which style.
- 24:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 24:20Speaker 1: They couldn't get, they couldn't get him off. And then
- 24:22Speaker 1: the announcement came attention media. Alex Sanchez left the game
- 24:25Speaker 1: with a sprained wrist. I'm like, they carried him off
- 24:29Speaker 1: the field and he has a sprained wrist. Like that
- 24:31Speaker 1: can't be right.
- 24:33Speaker 2: And I had to have heard that wrong.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Carried him off the field.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Like they, I don't know.
- 24:37Speaker 1: They thought he was hurt. It was a language thing.
- 24:39Speaker 1: Like he couldn't express. They didn't know the word for wrist.
- 24:44Speaker 1: I don't know, but he got carried off the field.
- 24:46Speaker 1: And then later on, sources close to our situation say
- 24:50Speaker 1: that he lost a fight with Ruben Quevedo's wife at
- 24:52Speaker 1: the South Dock, but that's neither here nor there.
- 24:55Speaker 2: Could you imagine? That's not a fight you want to lose,
- 24:58Speaker 2: let me tell you. Could you imagine being the guy
- 24:59Speaker 2: that carried him off the field and then being like, bro,
- 25:02Speaker 2: it was your arm? It was your wrist? Come on, man.
- 25:04Speaker 2: I did all that work for nothing? Yeah, that's wild.
- 25:08Speaker 3: It happened.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Great moments in Bruce's history. Will they put Paul Pierce
- 25:10Speaker 2: off the court? Yeah, Paul Pierce.
- 25:11Speaker 4: I did wonder.
- 25:12Speaker 2: I said it to Drew.
- 25:13Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm just waiting for him to Paul Pierce
- 25:15Speaker 4: this thing and trot back out of the tunnel all
- 25:17Speaker 4: of a sudden with some fresh pants.
- 25:19Speaker 3: Obviously, we know hamstring injuries can linger. They can be time-consuming.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Do you have to.
- 25:24Speaker 5: Let it linger?
- 25:25Speaker 2: It could be a quick one. You don't know.
- 25:27Speaker 4: It could be very, very quick. Cranberries reference. Donovan Jorgensen,
- 25:30Speaker 4: heating and cooling. Don't let the fall linger. And don't
- 25:34Speaker 4: let this thought linger. of you going and checking out
- 25:36Speaker 4: a new HVAC system because it's the perfect time for
- 25:38Speaker 4: updating it. Fall special, 0% for 60 months on select systems.
- 25:43Speaker 4: So Donovan Jorgensen, they do HVAC. They're the experts in
- 25:46Speaker 4: southeastern Wisconsin. They don't claim to be an expert in
- 25:48Speaker 4: absolutely anything else. They do HVAC for locations, New Berlin,
- 25:52Speaker 4: West Dallas, McGuanagoe, and new in Menominee Falls to better
- 25:55Speaker 4: serve the surrounding areas. I got a couple of hots
- 25:58Speaker 4: here for us. What about our own Jackson Shurio? Yesterday
- 26:03Speaker 4: hit the 21 plateau for stolen bases. So a blackjack
- 26:09Speaker 4: for Jack Jack on stolen bases. So his third straight
- 26:13Speaker 4: year of 2020, he joins a really elite group of,
- 26:17Speaker 4: I believe there's six guys, 23 and under who have
- 26:20Speaker 4: had three consecutive 2020 seasons.
- 26:24Speaker 2: This one, I didn't realize that it's a team record. Wow.
- 26:28Speaker 4: Three straight 2020 seasons for Jackson Churio. Team record in
- 26:32Speaker 4: his first three seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers.
- 26:34Speaker 3: Yeah, you would have thought somebody else would have had
- 26:36Speaker 3: one of those. Brewers have had some great players, obviously,
- 26:38Speaker 3: but to be that consistent, you know, your first thought
- 26:41Speaker 3: comes to Molitor and those guys, maybe a Daryl Hamilton
- 26:44Speaker 3: type guy, but 20 homers.
- 26:45Speaker 2: See, Hamilton was the one that I thought of right
- 26:47Speaker 2: out of the gate.
- 26:47Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but 20 homers, I mean, that's hard to
- 26:50Speaker 3: do consecutively, obviously, and the stolen bases, but.
- 26:53Speaker 4: Especially when you miss 31 games to start out the season.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Which makes it even more impressive.
- 26:59Speaker 2: And he missed damn near a month last year, too.
- 27:01Speaker 2: That's true.
- 27:02Speaker 3: Right?
- 27:02Speaker 4: I mean, at least two and a half weeks with
- 27:04Speaker 4: that one as well. Another in the hot category. Third
- 27:07Speaker 4: player in NFL history to score 50-plus touchdowns with multiple organizations.
- 27:12Speaker 4: Congratulations to Christian McCaffrey yesterday as he scores two in
- 27:15Speaker 4: the 49ers. That's a wild stat to think of, too.
- 27:19Speaker 4: And you're going to almost completely forget about his time
- 27:21Speaker 4: in Carolina. of just how actually good he was and
- 27:24Speaker 4: how impressive he was.
- 27:25Speaker 3: There.
- 27:26Speaker 2: Who's hot? Bryce Young.
- 27:27Speaker 4: 287 passing yards and three TDs yesterday as the Panthers
- 27:32Speaker 4: absolutely throttle the Atlanta Falcons yesterday.
- 27:36Speaker 3: Another reminder that sometimes we might give up on these
- 27:38Speaker 3: guys a little early, but he was a guy that
- 27:40Speaker 3: was kind of left for dead, and he's looking pretty good.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Who's not hot?
- 27:44Speaker 1: Well, I had another who's hot.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Let's go. Drew Locke. Great one. Great. 81-yard touchdown.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Darnold hurt. He's got four touchdowns, no interceptions. He's thrown
- 27:53Speaker 1: for 400 yards and a 73% completion percentage since he
- 27:56Speaker 1: took over for Sam Darnold.
- 27:57Speaker 4: And I also like that he said, sweet, number 11's
- 28:00Speaker 4: on my team. Throw it to him as many times
- 28:03Speaker 4: as possible. Nine of his 19 completions went to Jackson
- 28:07Speaker 4: Smith and Jigba for $ 1.
- 28:09Speaker 2: 55 and three scores. And the Seahawks, once again, looking good.
- 28:12Speaker 3: I'll be getting a text from our engineer, Alec, today.
- 28:14Speaker 3: Big Seahawks fan. who is always on me saying that
- 28:17Speaker 3: the media hates Seattle.
- 28:18Speaker 1: They won 31-7.
- 28:20Speaker 2: I mean, they're kind of like the most ordinary great
- 28:23Speaker 2: team going right now. It was a 7-7 game at halftime.
- 28:26Speaker 4: And then they turned the Cardinals into the Mac school
- 28:29Speaker 4: there in the second half, being able to run away
- 28:33Speaker 4: from them and find JSN a couple of times. Hot
- 28:37Speaker 4: was the Patriots' defense because not was Aaron Rodgers yesterday.
- 28:40Speaker 2: 23 of 39 for a buck 87 defense.
- 28:45Speaker 4: No touchdowns, one pick, was sacked four times, lost 43
- 28:50Speaker 4: yards on those sacks, but one of which lost 36
- 28:53Speaker 4: yards on a strip sack fumble that was ultimately recovered.
- 28:57Speaker 4: It started as a third and goal, or a third
- 29:01Speaker 4: and six. It ended as a fourth and 43.
- 29:06Speaker 2: After the strip sack yesterday.
- 29:07Speaker 4: Steelers put up three points and get throttled by the
- 29:11Speaker 4: Patriots yesterday, 20-3. Travion Henderson, debut of the season, 16
- 29:16Speaker 4: carries for 76 yards and a touchdown as well. And
- 29:19Speaker 4: the final one that I got in the hot category
- 29:21Speaker 4: was Dak Prescott. 249 touchdowns through the year with four
- 29:27Speaker 4: scores yesterday. Becomes the all-time passing touchdowns leader in Dallas
- 29:32Speaker 4: Cowboys history. And there have been a lot of great quarterbacks, obviously,
- 29:35Speaker 4: for that team.
- 29:36Speaker 3: Is that a number do you think that people are
- 29:37Speaker 3: desensitized to just because of the way passing stats are.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Inflated now, guys? Or I don't know. I mean, is
- 29:42Speaker 2: that underrated, too? I think and Jack.
- 29:44Speaker 4: Will never get the requisite credit he deserves for how
- 29:47Speaker 4: good of a passer he actually is. Until he would,
- 29:52Speaker 4: if he would actually win a championship, then he would
- 29:55Speaker 4: get credit for all of the great success that he
- 29:58Speaker 4: has had. But he gets kind of clumped in with
- 30:01Speaker 4: like the five to ten range of quarterbacks, Drew. every
- 30:05Speaker 4: statistical number would indicate that he's better than a lot
- 30:08Speaker 4: of guys that get put ahead of him in pretty
- 30:10Speaker 4: much every preseason ranking.
- 30:12Speaker 2: Every ranking.
- 30:12Speaker 3: And he's in this weird position, obviously playing quarterback for
- 30:15Speaker 3: the Cowboys, probably the most eyes-on-you position in sports.
- 30:19Speaker 2: One of them, at least, I would say.
- 30:21Speaker 3: I mean, you talk about the most important guy on
- 30:23Speaker 3: one of the biggest media market teams, the most valuable
- 30:26Speaker 3: team in sports. And it's like, you know, he's always
- 30:29Speaker 3: going to get that criticism, but you remember where he
- 30:30Speaker 3: got drafted, where he came from, what he's actually done
- 30:32Speaker 3: in this league. It is pretty impressive, but as you said, It's,
- 30:36Speaker 3: you know, where's the championship? That's how that's going to go.
- 30:39Speaker 3: But when you think of all the great quarterbacks in Dallas,
- 30:42Speaker 3: I mean, he's up there and passed.
- 30:43Speaker 2: All of them now. Yeah, and who did he pass?
- 30:46Speaker 2: Not Troy Aikman. Not Roger Staubach.
- 30:49Speaker 5: Romo?
- 30:49Speaker 2: Tony Romo.
- 30:50Speaker 3: Romo, yeah. So it just shows you how, as time
- 30:54Speaker 3: goes on, the stat is, you know.
- 30:55Speaker 2: But he did pass him in the left lane, not
- 30:58Speaker 2: crossing over the. There you go. full lane who's.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Not hot sorry that was who's not hot uh jeff
- 31:05Speaker 1: halfley and the miami dolphins they're on oh and 17 watch.
- 31:08Speaker 4: Yeah that was tough yesterday that was tough yesterday they
- 31:11Speaker 4: had uh four drives drew there were four combined drives
- 31:15Speaker 4: in the first half two touchdowns for the 49ers two
- 31:17Speaker 4: field goals for the dolphins and that was about as
- 31:19Speaker 4: good as it got for.
- 31:20Speaker 3: Them how much um time will he realistically get there
- 31:23Speaker 3: they're gonna be bad this year but will he get
- 31:25Speaker 3: three years to get their own quarter to get it.
- 31:26Speaker 1: That's a good question they're uh but they're paying more
- 31:31Speaker 1: money to players not to play for them than they
- 31:33Speaker 1: are to play for them.
- 31:33Speaker 2: To play for them, yeah.
- 31:34Speaker 1: So that is not the coach's fault.
- 31:37Speaker 4: No, they've got to give him a number of years,
- 31:40Speaker 4: I would think, on the buffer, Harmon. Now, granted, you
- 31:43Speaker 4: would think... To get his own guy. Malik's a transitional quarterback, right?
- 31:48Speaker 4: To whoever your future would be. You would imagine so.
- 31:51Speaker 4: You would imagine that it would be Arch or maybe Trinidad.
- 31:54Speaker 2: But there would be something to it. He's also.
- 31:59Speaker 4: going to the dolphins are a hilarious outfit. You mentioned
- 32:02Speaker 4: this with Brian Flores, who, you know, obviously game ball
- 32:04Speaker 4: to Brian Flores for how good his defenses have sadly
- 32:07Speaker 4: been over the first two weeks delivered.
- 32:09Speaker 5: By the rookie.
- 32:12Speaker 4: You almost forget that he won nine games with that team. The,
- 32:15Speaker 4: the worst thing he did as the head coach of
- 32:17Speaker 4: the dolphins was tell everybody that two was bad.
- 32:20Speaker 2: Yeah. They sat, he, he kept benching too. And they're
- 32:22Speaker 2: like that. What are you doing? That's so mean. Yeah.
- 32:25Speaker 2: Why are you being so mean to him? He's such
- 32:27Speaker 2: a nice kid. Why are you being so mean?
- 32:28Speaker 5: He's like, I don't know.
- 32:30Speaker 2: Left-handed, he stinks. I don't like him. This is all
- 32:32Speaker 2: I got for you.
- 32:33Speaker 4: I have a 39-year-old journeyman who's better at actually winning games.
- 32:37Speaker 4: You really want me to play the kid that can't
- 32:38Speaker 4: throw it? So that was the worst thing he did,
- 32:41Speaker 4: and that team was– bringing him out onto a yacht, Drew,
- 32:45Speaker 4: to try to tell him to lose games.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Like, it's a remarkable organization, that Miami Dolphins team. So
- 32:50Speaker 2: I wouldn't put anything past it.
- 32:51Speaker 3: And Flores, it's remarkable how reputations can evolve and change
- 32:55Speaker 3: so quickly. I mean, you know, when Flores was, for
- 32:58Speaker 3: a while, had a bad one, I guess, because these
- 33:00Speaker 3: stories were coming out about players didn't like him. But
- 33:02Speaker 3: you're right, Billy, when you look back and what he's
- 33:04Speaker 3: done with the defense in Minnesota, I mean, he's got them.
- 33:08Speaker 3: I don't want to say one of one, but there
- 33:09Speaker 3: aren't many guys that coach a defense that have a direct,
- 33:13Speaker 3: there's other good D coordinators, but have a direct impact
- 33:15Speaker 3: on a team like that. You know, no one's from
- 33:18Speaker 3: year to year saying, boy, these Vikings have the best
- 33:20Speaker 3: talent in the world on defense. They have good talent,
- 33:22Speaker 3: but they refresh it and they're going in and out.
- 33:25Speaker 3: But it pains me to say they're so well coached
- 33:27Speaker 3: that they're always going to be in the mix. And
- 33:29Speaker 3: here they are 2-0 without Kyler, without J.J. McCarthy, you
- 33:33Speaker 3: know what I mean? So they're a force to be
- 33:36Speaker 3: reckoned with because of those two guys, Flores and O'Connell.
- 33:39Speaker 1: Who's hot, who's not? Brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen,
- 33:41Speaker 1: heating and cooling the HVAC experts in our area.
- 33:44Speaker 4: We could have obviously thrown the Atlanta Falcons in there,
- 33:46Speaker 4: but I just didn't necessarily know that we wanted to
- 33:48Speaker 4: tempt too much fate with the Packers hosting them in
- 33:52Speaker 4: four nights at Lambeau Field on Thursday night for the
- 33:54Speaker 4: home opener. But the Falcons had Cooper Rush go 10
- 33:59Speaker 4: of 17 yesterday, drew for 86 yards and two picks.
- 34:02Speaker 4: That's not good, is it? That is not hot. You
- 34:05Speaker 4: read it last night. Their quarterback rating combined was 28.8.
- 34:08Speaker 2: Yeah. Don't you get 39 points if you just spike it?
- 34:12Speaker 1: If you spike the ball every time, you would get
- 34:14Speaker 1: like 30.
- 34:15Speaker 2: It would be.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Higher if they just spiked every throw.
- 34:17Speaker 4: That's like when your buddy tells you that he got
- 34:19Speaker 4: a 16 on the ACT and you're like, don't you
- 34:22Speaker 4: get 14 points for signing your name right?
- 34:23Speaker 2: Put your name in.
- 34:24Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:24Speaker 2: Don't you... Isn't there a baseline here that we can't
- 34:28Speaker 2: get worse than?
- 34:29Speaker 3: Like my buddy Andrew in college that came in the
- 34:32Speaker 3: dorm was all excited that he passed accounting with like
- 34:35Speaker 3: a 49 or something.
- 34:37Speaker 2: But he flies jets for the Navy now, so what
- 34:40Speaker 2: can I say? United States Navy.
- 34:42Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in his 18th season, his stats for the
- 34:47Speaker 1: first two games, for these first two games compared to
- 34:50Speaker 1: the rest of his career, is 18th.
- 34:54Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
- 34:54Speaker 1: He's off to the worst start in his career.
- 34:55Speaker 2: I can only imagine.
- 34:57Speaker 1: Yards per attempt. Touchdown passes, one. Passer rating, 72.
- 35:02Speaker 2: EPA. A lot of ballgame left. Bad news. I don't
- 35:05Speaker 2: think it's getting much better. I don't think it is either.
- 35:07Speaker 2: I don't think it's getting much better for that offense.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Dolph isn't here, but we made it through halftime, and
- 35:11Speaker 1: we will continue strong. We're going to go to the
- 35:14Speaker 1: hole strong. Wayne Larvey is going to join us at 725-ish, 730-ish.
- 35:19Speaker 1: So stay tuned for the voice of the Packers on
- 35:21Speaker 1: a victory Monday. You're in the huddle.
- 35:23Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Good callback, Armin. Now, I'm glad
- 35:30Speaker 4: you fired this up. Are we going to play September
- 35:34Speaker 4: at some point? Have you looked at the calendar?
- 35:36Speaker 2: Wait a minute. 7 o'clock hour is coming, Billy. I mean,
- 35:39Speaker 2: it is the 21st. I'm trying to save it. I
- 35:41Speaker 2: bet the honey hole is coming up. I'm sitting here waiting. Actually,
- 35:45Speaker 2: I should have played once a day this month. Actually,
- 35:47Speaker 2: I should have done that. That's true, actually. We should
- 35:50Speaker 2: make that a requirement by the FCC.
- 35:53Speaker 4: I don't necessarily know every day of September, but the
- 35:56Speaker 4: 21st of September feels like a pretty important day.
- 35:59Speaker 2: Wait, is that the day in the song? Do you
- 36:01Speaker 2: remember the 21st night of September? I honestly didn't know
- 36:05Speaker 2: that was the day. Wait a minute.
- 36:08Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Who's hot?
- 36:09Speaker 5: Who's not? Hold on.
- 36:10Speaker 2: I'll take the L. Is that really the day? I
- 36:15Speaker 2: just know the song, and I was singing and dancing.
- 36:17Speaker 2: Do you remember?
- 36:18Speaker 3: 21st night.
- 36:20Speaker 5: 21st night, you're right.
- 36:22Speaker 2: It's the first line of the song, Armand.
- 36:24Speaker 1: You've heard it a thousand, hundreds of thousands of times.
- 36:28Speaker 3: Yeah, but once I hear this ramp up, I'm just
- 36:30Speaker 3: kind of like, do you remember?
- 36:32Speaker 2: That's all I need.
- 36:33Speaker 3: I'm sorry I didn't remember every lyric to Earth, Wind,
- 36:37Speaker 3: and Fire here.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Every lyric, the first lyric, the only one you need.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Wait a minute, that's actually true.
- 36:48Speaker 3: 21st.
- 36:49Speaker 2: I didn't know. Did you think I was lying to you?
- 36:53Speaker 2: I just didn't remember it. Well, clearly you didn't. So
- 36:57Speaker 2: the answer is no. After that hook and the first lyric,
- 37:01Speaker 2: Armin can just say, no, I don't remember.
- 37:04Speaker 3: 21st.
- 37:04Speaker 2: Thank goodness you told me. I would have let this
- 37:07Speaker 2: day pass. Drew, he said it's actually true. He would
- 37:10Speaker 2: have let this, he would have let the day pass.
- 37:13Speaker 3: You don't want to know what the real problem is?
- 37:15Speaker 3: I get this mixed up with, oh, what a night
- 37:18Speaker 3: all the time. Late December back in 63.
- 37:21Speaker 2: I get this, too.
- 37:22Speaker 4: Yeah, because Frankie Valli and Earth, Wind, and Fire do
- 37:25Speaker 4: resemble each other quite a bit.
- 37:26Speaker 2: Well, the arrows. I like that, though. You don't see
- 37:29Speaker 2: any differences. I would like to know. Oh, I see
- 37:33Speaker 2: what you're saying. There's a lot of parts here that
- 37:35Speaker 2: are great.
- 37:35Speaker 4: Drew, I think my favorite part was your reaction where
- 37:38Speaker 4: you looked up.
- 37:40Speaker 2: It's the first one. Well, I know the lyrics.
- 37:45Speaker 4: Is this better than him not knowing that the song
- 37:48Speaker 4: Roxanne was about a lady that potentially works in a
- 37:52Speaker 4: red or white district?
- 37:54Speaker 2: That's equally bad. That one I had no idea.
- 37:57Speaker 1: He didn't know the song Roxanne was about prostitution, but
- 37:59Speaker 1: he's heard it a thousand times.
- 38:01Speaker 2: Well, when you're a kid, you don't know those things.
- 38:04Speaker 2: That whole part about you don't have to sell your
- 38:06Speaker 2: body to the night. Don't have to sell your body
- 38:07Speaker 2: to the night.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Put on the red light.
- 38:10Speaker 3: When I was a kid, I got these two mixed
- 38:11Speaker 3: up because they were both about dates. You know, calendar dates. Yeah, okay,
- 38:16Speaker 3: the red light, whatever.
- 38:17Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was seven years old. I
- 38:20Speaker 2: was eight years old.
- 38:20Speaker 5: I didn't know what that meant.
- 38:21Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 38:22Speaker 4: There's no way we would be able to laugh like
- 38:24Speaker 4: this if the Packers wouldn't have come back from the
- 38:26Speaker 4: 17-7 deficit yesterday. We would have been walloping in our sorrows,
- 38:32Speaker 4: and we would not have been able to say, oh,
- 38:33Speaker 4: what a night, LVN.
- 38:34Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So don't tell me an ugly win doesn't matter.
- 38:37Speaker 5: It matters. Oh, it matters.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Because now we're doing this. Wow.
- 38:41Speaker 5: C3.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Late December.
- 38:43Speaker 1: September.
- 38:44Speaker 2: Sort of similar. Yeah, they both end with an R. Yeah.
- 38:49Speaker 4: I'm just glad you told me because I would have
- 38:50Speaker 4: let this day pass. Actually, the thing is, it probably
- 38:53Speaker 4: should have, Drew, because it would have been more on
- 38:55Speaker 4: brand for Armin. Hey, guys, did you know the 21st
- 38:57Speaker 4: of September was yesterday?
- 38:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 38:58Speaker 5: Right.
- 38:59Speaker 2: On this day in history yesterday.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Armin's like, I should have been playing this all month
- 39:02Speaker 1: because it talks about September.
- 39:03Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, especially today. Honestly, I had no idea.
- 39:08Speaker 2: No idea. You're right, Billy. I would have been like
- 39:10Speaker 2: 20 years ago last Friday. I just peed my pants.
- 39:15Speaker 2: That is.
- 39:15Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
- 39:16Speaker 2: That was funny. Something. I should have been playing this
- 39:19Speaker 2: all September.
- 39:21Speaker 5: Wow.
- 39:21Speaker 2: All the things I was thinking about this morning, this
- 39:23Speaker 2: wasn't it. So I'm glad you.
- 39:24Speaker 5: 877-794-1973.
- 39:28Speaker 1: I love this guy, man. Oh, my God.
- 39:32Speaker 4: I was watching a video. We mentioned Marshand earlier. He
- 39:36Speaker 4: was talking about how AI and podcasts, they're just going
- 39:39Speaker 4: to get so good with all the analytics that we're
- 39:41Speaker 4: going to be able to do our job.
- 39:42Speaker 2: No chance AI could come up with that. Come on, now.
- 39:44Speaker 2: It can't replace that. No chance AI would be able
- 39:46Speaker 2: to come up with something like that. Absolutely.
- 39:49Speaker 4: Wow.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness. I catch my breath after that. Holy cow.
- 39:52Speaker 1: I'm just, oh, wow.
- 39:54Speaker 2: This is a banger, though. All I can say is wow.
- 39:57Speaker 2: It is a banger. It is a banger. You're right.
- 39:59Speaker 4: I'm really glad we got to crack that cranium here today.
- 40:02Speaker 5: It's the 21st.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Just wow.
- 40:06Speaker 4: Benny and Merton, oh, my God, Harmon. What a way
- 40:08Speaker 4: to start my Monday. You are welcome, Wisconsin. That's how
- 40:12Speaker 4: you start a victory Monday here today.
- 40:14Speaker 5: You got to focus, fellas.
- 40:15Speaker 3: Focus.
- 40:15Speaker 5: Focus.
- 40:20Speaker 2: Well, we got Wayne next. Let's see.
- 40:22Speaker 1: Yeah, Wayne Larry's coming up.
- 40:25Speaker 3: 735.
- 40:25Speaker 1: At 735-ish. Oh, my goodness. It's Game Balls and Kicks
- 40:28Speaker 1: to the Balls Monday. It's Victory Monday. You're in the huddle.
- 40:31Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
