Speaker 3: Oh what is going on? I hope your late night
0:32
Speaker 3: hours are going swimmingly? Well, my goodness, it's a party tonight.
0:38
Speaker 3: You know. Oreo, the neighborhood cat, just jumped up on
0:40
Speaker 3: a chair. She's like, let's go sports radio, fill in,
0:44
Speaker 3: let's get after it. So she looked at me with
0:46
Speaker 3: intensity in her eyes.
0:47
Speaker 4: Right there. Love that.
0:49
Speaker 3: Okay. So there are a lot to get to, plenty
0:52
Speaker 3: of things, a little bit of hoops tonight, a little
0:54
Speaker 3: bit lots of ball. We are ramping right up to
1:00
Speaker 3: the beginning of the football season, college football andfl lots
1:05
Speaker 3: of training camp storylines and a little bit later on
1:11
Speaker 3: the show. I want to get to the training camp hype.
1:15
Speaker 3: This is the season of hype. What do you buy?
1:18
Speaker 3: What do you sell? In terms of what's actually real,
1:23
Speaker 3: what's going to translate to the regular season. So I'll
1:26
Speaker 3: get to that as the show goes along, but I
1:28
Speaker 3: want to start with this. You know, there's a story
1:34
Speaker 3: with Shador Sanders starting the first preseason game for the
1:38
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns, and like, big picture, I've got all this sound,
1:44
Speaker 3: all these angles, all this stuff. But before we get
1:47
Speaker 3: to any of that, right before the show, I just
1:49
Speaker 3: kind of paused and I thought about, I'm really just
1:53
Speaker 3: trying to get to the truth of things, you know,
1:56
Speaker 3: for the most part, from topic to topic, I really
2:00
Speaker 3: just want to try to figure out what the truth
2:04
Speaker 3: actually is. And I think that's important because in this
2:08
Speaker 3: day and age, there's a lot of stuff where you
2:11
Speaker 3: get these I don't know, like these look at me
2:14
Speaker 3: type takes where you know you're gonna get a reaction
2:18
Speaker 3: and you know people are gonna eat it up, and hey,
2:20
Speaker 3: that might be good on one side in terms of,
2:23
Speaker 3: you know, your relevancy and maybe your paycheck and all
2:26
Speaker 3: that stuff, but that might get you further away from
2:31
Speaker 3: the truth. I never want to stray so far away
2:35
Speaker 3: from the truth that I don't understand what it even is,
2:40
Speaker 3: you know. So with the Shador Sanders story starting with
2:43
Speaker 3: the Browns on Friday night, They're at the Carolina Panthers.
2:48
Speaker 3: It's a weird story. We'll start with the depth chart
2:52
Speaker 3: was released a little bit earlier this week. Chaduur is
2:55
Speaker 3: QB four. He's looking up at Dylan Gabriel, another fellow rookie,
3:02
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco. So Shadour is QB four and
3:08
Speaker 3: at least for this preseason game on Friday, he's QB one. Okay,
3:12
Speaker 3: it's not unprecedented, but a little odd, little odd right there,
3:17
Speaker 3: So you take that into account. Now, the audio I
3:19
Speaker 3: want to play this could not be more different. The
3:25
Speaker 3: first piece of audio you'll here is from ESPN's Lewis Riddick,
3:29
Speaker 3: and he was on Get Up and he's got his
3:31
Speaker 3: view on man Chadeur is in a really rough spot.
3:35
Speaker 3: And then you'll hear from Mary Kay Cabot, who has
3:37
Speaker 3: covered the Browns for a long long time, has done
3:40
Speaker 3: a great job over the years, and their two opinions
3:44
Speaker 3: could not differ more So. First, let's start with Lewis Riddick.
3:48
Speaker 3: He's basically saying, like, man, what are the Browns doing here? Exactly?
3:53
Speaker 3: Starting Shaduur, he hasn't gotten many reps. It's an uphill battle,
3:57
Speaker 3: so forth and so on. Here's Lou and what he
3:59
Speaker 3: says about Shadoor.
4:00
Speaker 5: I'm afraid he's gonna get on the field in preseason
4:01
Speaker 5: games without a lot of practice reps, and then they're
4:04
Speaker 5: gonna ask him to perform these heroic casts in order
4:07
Speaker 5: to prove that he's worthy of being a starter when
4:09
Speaker 5: he hasn't had enough reps to really get comfortable. That's
4:12
Speaker 5: the kind of battle he's dealing with right now. I
4:14
Speaker 5: know I've seen it, Dom, You've seen it. We've been
4:17
Speaker 5: in these camps. We know how that goes. You don't
4:19
Speaker 5: get enough reps. They play a whole half of a game,
4:21
Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, coaches are going, why
4:23
Speaker 5: are you making that mistake? Why aren't you making that check?
4:25
Speaker 5: Why are you doing that technique? Well, damn, coach, I
4:27
Speaker 5: never was in there in practice. You never even talked
4:29
Speaker 5: to me during practice, But now you expect me to know.
4:32
Speaker 5: That's what they're gonna expect of him. But if anyone
4:34
Speaker 5: can get it done, it's this kid, because he's been
4:37
Speaker 5: trained the right way. But I'm telling you, he is
4:39
Speaker 5: ice skating uphill. He just is and every time you
4:42
Speaker 5: hear this organization talk, you get that feel.
4:45
Speaker 3: Hmm okay, interesting take. He's basically calling you know, it
4:50
Speaker 3: is set up. Maybe it's as far as sabotage, right
4:55
Speaker 3: with a little Beastie Boy's reference right there. Now, this
4:58
Speaker 3: is Mary Ka Cabot again cover the Browns for a
5:00
Speaker 3: long time. Listen to what she says about should dour
5:05
Speaker 3: starting on Friday.
5:06
Speaker 6: I do think that they are doing this the right
5:08
Speaker 6: way with him and making sure that he is successful
5:13
Speaker 6: as he comes up the learning curve. And they're flying
5:16
Speaker 6: in the face of what everybody wants them to do.
5:18
Speaker 6: But they have stuck to their guns and they're not
5:21
Speaker 6: succumbing to media pressure and public pressure and fan pressure.
5:25
Speaker 6: They're not doing that. They're doing what's right for should
5:28
Speaker 6: Door and people have to understand that they're doing what's
5:31
Speaker 6: right for the football team and for Should Doure.
5:35
Speaker 3: Uh huh oh okay, Like listen, I don't know that
5:40
Speaker 3: might be her real opinion, that might be her real report.
5:45
Speaker 3: I mean, I just got to call it like I
5:47
Speaker 3: see it. That just sounds like you're carrying the water
5:51
Speaker 3: for the Cleveland Browns, does it not? That whole I
5:54
Speaker 3: don't know how long that was. That was about twenty
5:56
Speaker 3: eight seconds from Mary Kay Cabot. If you typed out
6:01
Speaker 3: every word she just said and you handed it to
6:03
Speaker 3: the Browns organization and they proof read it, and they're like, okay,
6:07
Speaker 3: doing everything doing Yep. They won't succumb to public pressure.
6:11
Speaker 3: That's right.
6:12
Speaker 4: All these people are like, don't play Chador.
6:15
Speaker 3: Are they take it?
6:15
Speaker 2: Eat?
6:16
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, We're not gonna cave the public
6:18
Speaker 3: pressure out. We're gonna play the guy. We're gonna do
6:20
Speaker 3: what's right. Yep, like it, thumbs up and checking every box.
6:23
Speaker 3: That just seems like the Browns would have signed off
6:25
Speaker 3: on everything she just said, so it could not be
6:30
Speaker 3: more polar opposite views of what's going on with the
6:33
Speaker 3: Browns and Shadeur Sanders. Here's what I think.
6:38
Speaker 4: I think that.
6:41
Speaker 3: I think that lou is onto a little something but
6:44
Speaker 3: took it too far. That's what I think. Where Shador
6:48
Speaker 3: is in a tough spot. Let's just cut to that point.
6:52
Speaker 3: Chador is in a rough spot. Think about it. They've
6:55
Speaker 3: got five quarterbacks in camp right now for the Browns.
6:58
Speaker 3: They signed Tyler because Chaduur and Kenny Pickett, some of
7:03
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks are dealing with injuries, so they signed another
7:06
Speaker 3: quarterback and they're dividing up the reps even more. Saw
7:10
Speaker 3: a screenshot of the reps in practice on Wednesday. They
7:14
Speaker 3: had stats for five guys. They had all their I
7:17
Speaker 3: couldn't believe it. The QB Tracker training camp on Wednesday,
7:22
Speaker 3: August sixth, Flacco is eight for thirteen, Shaduur is four
7:26
Speaker 3: for seven, Pickett is five for seven, and so forth
7:29
Speaker 3: and so on.
7:29
Speaker 4: I can't do it. I can't break down all these numbers.
7:31
Speaker 3: But the point is Shaduur Sanders is not getting a
7:35
Speaker 3: ton of reps. He's not getting many reps with the
7:39
Speaker 3: first string offense. That puts him in a rough spot
7:43
Speaker 3: to start a game in the preseason. So let's just
7:47
Speaker 3: recognize that before we go any further. Now, when lou
7:50
Speaker 3: loses me, even though Shadur is skating uphill, he makes
7:56
Speaker 3: it sound like that's what the organization wants. They want
8:00
Speaker 3: to put him in a spot where he doesn't have
8:03
Speaker 3: as much seasoning as he should. Maybe they throw him
8:06
Speaker 3: in the deep end of the pool before he's ready,
8:09
Speaker 3: and he's gonna have to do something heroic to earn
8:12
Speaker 3: a starting job. Or to earn more reps, to earn
8:15
Speaker 3: more preseason starts. He's gonna have to do something that
8:17
Speaker 3: he's probably not ready to do, and that's the position
8:22
Speaker 3: that they want to put him in. They basically want
8:25
Speaker 3: him to fail. That's what Lewis Riddick is saying. I
8:27
Speaker 3: don't agree with that at all. I think some organizations
8:30
Speaker 3: are just dumb. That's what I think. The truth is,
8:34
Speaker 3: some organizations are just dumb. The Browns are the poster
8:38
Speaker 3: child for a dumb organization. They've done so many dumb
8:42
Speaker 3: things over the years. You know the famous jersey that
8:46
Speaker 3: has all the names of all the failed quarterbacks throughout
8:50
Speaker 3: the years. They've had a lot to do with those failures.
8:54
Speaker 3: They've made a lot of horrible decisions. And I don't
8:58
Speaker 3: think that they want should or saying to fail. What's
9:01
Speaker 3: the gain? How did they benefit from that? That just
9:05
Speaker 3: doesn't make any sense to me. I don't see how
9:07
Speaker 3: they gain anything by doing that. I just think that
9:11
Speaker 3: they've got this clunky situation where they have five quarterbacks
9:15
Speaker 3: in camp, the reps are getting divided up. Instead of
9:18
Speaker 3: having fewer quarterbacks, with more reps and you get more seasoning, right,
9:23
Speaker 3: more training, all it's training camp, right, and they don't
9:27
Speaker 3: have that for Shaduer. But it doesn't mean they want
9:31
Speaker 3: him to fail. You could look at many other organizations
9:35
Speaker 3: and say they did things pretty clunky. Doesn't mean they
9:38
Speaker 3: want the quarterback to fail. A good example to me
9:41
Speaker 3: is the Indianapolis Colts. Now I'll expand on this a
9:44
Speaker 3: little bit later, but look at what the Colts have
9:46
Speaker 3: done with Anthony Richardson. Anthony Richardson threw fewer than four
9:52
Speaker 3: hundred passes in college. That's nothing. He didn't play very
9:57
Speaker 3: much in college. He should sat his entire rookie season,
10:02
Speaker 3: and yet they threw him in the fire right away
10:06
Speaker 3: and guess what, Shockingly, he wasn't ready for it. So
10:09
Speaker 3: I thought that was a dumb decision by the Colts.
10:12
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean they wanted him to fail. That's the
10:15
Speaker 3: last thing they wanted. They just did something that, in
10:18
Speaker 3: my opinion, was very stupid. That's what organizations do sometimes.
10:24
Speaker 3: And also there are times where quarterbacks are in a
10:26
Speaker 3: rough spot. It's not going to be ideal. It's not
10:30
Speaker 3: going to be the perfect scenario, the perfect situation. You
10:34
Speaker 3: might be facing an uphill challenge. That happens a lot.
10:38
Speaker 3: That just comes along with the territory many times as
10:41
Speaker 3: an NFL quarterback. I saw a little bit of Cowherd
10:45
Speaker 3: show and I was thinking this, and then he led
10:47
Speaker 3: with it. I'm like, freaking guy, he's reading my thoughts
10:49
Speaker 3: over you know. So I don't want to give every
10:51
Speaker 3: example Cowherd gave. But Baker Mayfield was in a rough spot.
10:56
Speaker 3: He signed with the Rams on like a Tuesday and
10:59
Speaker 3: was playing a game a couple of days later. I
11:02
Speaker 3: think he had one practice. Hardly knows the playbook. They
11:05
Speaker 3: ended up beating the Raiders. They had two scoring drives
11:08
Speaker 3: at the end of the game, won the game. It
11:11
Speaker 3: was insanity, but that was a very tough spot for
11:15
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield to be in, and he answered the challenge,
11:20
Speaker 3: did a great job. But do you think because he
11:23
Speaker 3: was in a tough spot that the Rams are like,
11:24
Speaker 3: oh man, if Baker Mayfield would just blow this, this
11:27
Speaker 3: would be amazing. No, of course not. So that's the thing, man,
11:32
Speaker 3: I just don't think that the Browns, even though they're dumb,
11:37
Speaker 3: I don't think they're crazy enough to be like, hey,
11:40
Speaker 3: you know what, I got an idea. Let's ruin Shadure Sanders, right,
11:46
Speaker 3: Let's throw them in as the starter of a preseason
11:49
Speaker 3: game when he hasn't had many reps, when he's been
11:51
Speaker 3: banged up along the way as well in training camp,
11:55
Speaker 3: and man if he would just fail in front of millions,
11:58
Speaker 3: that would be a amazing I just don't buy that
12:03
Speaker 3: at all. But at the same time, I don't buy
12:05
Speaker 3: what Mary Kay is selling either, which is like this
12:08
Speaker 3: proud organization. They are doing right by Shador, They're doing
12:12
Speaker 3: right by the team. You got all these you know,
12:15
Speaker 3: outside voices that are like, do this and do that,
12:18
Speaker 3: do bad things for Shador, And they're steadfast and they
12:21
Speaker 3: bang the table and they say, no, we will not
12:24
Speaker 3: do something that's bad for Shador. It's like, oh my gosh,
12:28
Speaker 3: I just need the sappy music in a sports movie
12:31
Speaker 3: in the background, you know what I mean, Like what's
12:33
Speaker 3: going on over here? I don't buy that either. So
12:35
Speaker 3: I think the truth is somewhere in between. I think
12:39
Speaker 3: it's been a clunky training camp. I know Shador hasn't
12:42
Speaker 3: had a ton of reps. I know he's not in
12:44
Speaker 3: a great position to succeed, But this idea that what
12:48
Speaker 3: are they gonna ask him to do in the game.
12:50
Speaker 3: It's a preseason game. Are they gonna be like, all right, Shaduur.
12:54
Speaker 3: You know they're gonna throw a play that he's never
12:57
Speaker 3: ran in practice before, and they're like, all right, let's
12:59
Speaker 3: just see how the kid handles this. Like, come on,
13:02
Speaker 3: they're not gonna take it to the endth degree.
13:05
Speaker 4: They don't want to ruin him.
13:07
Speaker 3: It's just a weird path to him starting the first
13:11
Speaker 3: preseason game. But this idea that they benefit by him
13:15
Speaker 3: playing badly, they don't what's the game?
13:20
Speaker 4: I don't understand that at all.
13:22
Speaker 3: So interesting though, interesting storyline, and we'll see how he
13:26
Speaker 3: plays on Friday, and I'm curious where it goes from there.
13:30
Speaker 3: But yeah, Shauduur a QB four starting preseason game number
13:35
Speaker 3: one for the Browns. It seems like only in Cleveland, right,
13:38
Speaker 3: Can you see other organizations doing something like this? It
13:42
Speaker 3: doesn't really seem like it. The Browns are just odd.
13:45
Speaker 3: They're goofy, they're dumb a lot of times, but I
13:49
Speaker 3: don't think they openly root for their own to fail.
13:52
Speaker 3: Shauduur is on the team. I don't know how they
13:56
Speaker 3: benefit by him stinking it up. But your thoughts are
13:59
Speaker 3: more than well welcome. Militia was great to talk to
14:01
Speaker 3: you yesterday. Had a lot of fun. So again, phone
14:05
Speaker 3: lines wide open for you. I don't know if X
14:08
Speaker 3: can be wide open, but feel free to tweet away
14:11
Speaker 3: at the No Show is where you can find me
14:13
Speaker 3: there eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Any thoughts
14:18
Speaker 3: that you have in the sports world or beyond. We
14:21
Speaker 3: love going outside the walls of sports from time to
14:25
Speaker 3: time and getting a little goofy. But you know a
14:28
Speaker 3: lot of sports thoughts tonight and yours are always welcome.
14:31
Speaker 3: Lorena and Cooper here, they're ready to party as well.
14:35
Speaker 3: That's right, there's a cameo from Lorena right there. Proof
14:39
Speaker 3: it's not a SoundBite. I need to work on my
14:42
Speaker 3: wall of Loraina sound you know, I don't have drops
14:45
Speaker 3: of Lorena. I might have to chop I might have
14:49
Speaker 3: to chop up some Delicious over there, you know, for
14:52
Speaker 3: Delicious did a great job last night, amazing. That's a
15:00
Speaker 3: good drop right there. That's a top shelf. Dropp knows.
15:06
Speaker 4: All right. I like it. We'll get some more as
15:08
Speaker 4: the evening hours go along.
15:11
Speaker 3: Coming up next. So weird story that's taken a very
15:16
Speaker 3: odd turn? Can that be possible? It was weird to
15:20
Speaker 3: begin with. It's even odder. Now I feel like we'll explain.
15:22

Speaker 4: It is Fox Sports Radio.
16:11
Speaker 3: I'm Brian no in for Big Ben Malor. Yeah. So
16:14
Speaker 3: there was an odd story on Tuesday, and I didn't
16:18
Speaker 3: get to it when I was filling in for Big
16:19
Speaker 3: Ben last night, but it's relevant again today because there
16:24
Speaker 3: was a twist. So's it's dealing with smelling salts in
16:29
Speaker 3: the NFL.
16:30
Speaker 4: So apparently players can use this stuff.
16:32
Speaker 3: After all, there was a memo sent out by the
16:36
Speaker 3: NFL on Tuesday saying can't do it. Can't do it
16:40
Speaker 3: like Mike Singletary back in the day. But the part
16:44
Speaker 3: of the memo it said, beginning this season, teams are
16:46
Speaker 3: prohibited from providing or supplying ammonia.
16:51
Speaker 4: In any form.
16:53
Speaker 3: So that includes ammonia capsules and Hailer's ammonia in a cup,
16:58
Speaker 3: in any form of smelling star. And it also applies
17:02
Speaker 3: to the entirety of a game. It includes pregame stuff, halftime,
17:07
Speaker 3: applies to the locker room, and on the sideline.
17:10
Speaker 4: You just can't do.
17:11
Speaker 3: It, right, Like if you're like, what are smelling salts? Anyway?
17:15
Speaker 4: What is this?
17:15
Speaker 3: So? I've never used this before. I've never smelled the
17:20
Speaker 3: smelling salts over the years of playing in much lower
17:24
Speaker 3: levels of football than the NFL. But it's basically this,
17:28
Speaker 3: you know, stimulant. You smell it, it smells god awful,
17:32
Speaker 3: but it gives you a jolt. It's almost like a
17:35
Speaker 3: monster energy drink mixed with red bull and it's just like,
17:39
Speaker 3: whoa holy cow. It smells so but it's a total
17:42
Speaker 3: guy thing. I don't know that female sports would do
17:44
Speaker 3: this at all. Not a drug, right, not a drug.
17:48
Speaker 3: Not a knock on the females. I'm just saying they're
17:50
Speaker 3: smarter than us. It's a total guy thing to do.
17:52
Speaker 3: Like here, smell this. It's awful and you take a
17:55
Speaker 3: whiff and you're like, oh my gosh, wow, holy cow. It.
17:59
Speaker 3: So the the whole reason for this was there's an
18:03
Speaker 3: FDA warning. It was issued in twenty twenty four, and
18:06
Speaker 3: part of the warning they're talking about ammonia inhalence okay,
18:12
Speaker 3: otherwise known as AIS. I think AI is just taking
18:15
Speaker 3: over everything. Now we got ammonia inhalence are also AI,
18:19
Speaker 3: but the FDA noted potential negative effects from AI use.
18:25
Speaker 3: AIS also have the potential to mask certain neurological signs
18:29
Speaker 3: and symptoms, including some potential signs of concussion. And so
18:35
Speaker 3: that's where you're like, oh, okay, this is why the
18:38
Speaker 3: NFL is like, yeah, thumbs down on the quote unquote AIS.
18:43
Speaker 3: You know, the ammonia inhalance because let's say you got
18:48
Speaker 3: your bell rung right, Like you're on the field, you
18:51
Speaker 3: got tackled hard, whatever, you got your bell rung, and
18:54
Speaker 3: you go off to the sideline and you're seeing a
18:56
Speaker 3: few stars. You know, you're shaking off the cop webs
19:00
Speaker 3: and you get an aeumonia capsule or you get some
19:03
Speaker 3: smelling salts that WHOA, I feel better, let's go, let's
19:07
Speaker 3: get back after it over And so the NFL is like,
19:10
Speaker 3: let's kind of cool it on that. They also put
19:13
Speaker 3: in this memo to players. On Tuesday. As a result,
19:17
Speaker 3: the NFL Headneck and Spine Committee recommended prohibiting the use
19:22
Speaker 3: of AIS for any purpose during NFL play. So it
19:27
Speaker 3: seems pretty clear like you can't do this anymore, right,
19:32
Speaker 3: seems so clear that George Kittle, the forty nine Ers
19:35
Speaker 3: tight end, he was on NFL Network on Tuesday. He
19:39
Speaker 3: caught word of this memo, got all the details you
19:43
Speaker 3: can't use smelling salts anymore. He was bummed about it.
19:46
Speaker 3: Apparently he's deep in the game over here. George Kittle
19:49
Speaker 3: is a huge fan of smelling salts. He was very bummed.
19:53
Speaker 3: He jokingly talked about retirement. It's very distraught over Here's
19:58
Speaker 3: George Kittle on NFL Network.
20:00
Speaker 9: I honestly just came up here to Eric Grievance. Our
20:02
Speaker 9: team got a memo today that smelling salts and ammonia
20:04
Speaker 9: packets were made illegal in the NFL, and I've been
20:07
Speaker 9: just straught all day.
20:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, he even said he's not practicing anymore.
20:12
Speaker 3: I considered retirement.
20:13
Speaker 9: Yeah, we got to figure middle ground here.
20:18
Speaker 4: Guys, help me out. Somebody come up with a good idea.
20:23
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's all I had to get out there.
20:24
Speaker 3: Get that is it? Is it? Every before every drive?
20:31
Speaker 7: Every drive?
20:32
Speaker 3: Yeah? So Kittle uses this stuff every drive. I could see.
20:37
Speaker 3: Could you not see George Kittle like, give me the
20:39
Speaker 3: smelling salts before this drive?
20:41
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, all right, let's go like it's.
20:43
Speaker 3: The total George Kittle thing to do. I love it.
20:47
Speaker 3: The guy is the total energy. I could absolutely see
20:50
Speaker 3: him doing that. So the twist comes from the clarification
20:55
Speaker 3: on Wednesday. Turns out not banned at all, and it's like, wait,
21:00
Speaker 3: what's go I thought it was word over that we're
21:02
Speaker 3: not doing it. Turns out the NFL clarified with the NFLPA.
21:08
Speaker 3: The Players Association reached out for clarification, like what's.
21:11
Speaker 4: Going on here? The NFL was like, no, players can
21:15
Speaker 4: still use.
21:15
Speaker 3: Smelling salts during games this season, as long as they
21:19
Speaker 3: just bring their own. Teams can't provide it. That's all
21:23
Speaker 3: this is the NFL player is called responsible pretty much. Yes,
21:28
Speaker 3: you don't exactly, that's right, Loraina. That's all what it
21:31
Speaker 3: comes back to. It always comes back to the cash money,
21:34
Speaker 3: right if something goes hey wire teams the NFL, they
21:37
Speaker 3: don't want to be responsible. It's like, hey, players, if
21:40
Speaker 3: you're you're free to do this. Just bring your own stash,
21:43
Speaker 3: bring your own stuff here. That's exactly right. And I
21:47
Speaker 3: love the NFLPA. They sent out a message on Wednesday
21:52
Speaker 3: to the NFL players and this is beautiful.
21:54
Speaker 4: You cant make this stuff up.
21:55
Speaker 3: The first line is we were not notified of this
21:59
Speaker 3: club pole change before the memo was sent out. That far.
22:04
Speaker 7: I love.
22:04
Speaker 3: The NFL doesn't even contact the NFLPA.
22:07
Speaker 4: They're just like, this is happening. There you go. So
22:10
Speaker 4: the NFLPA is like news to us.
22:12
Speaker 3: And they also go on to clarify this policy does
22:15
Speaker 3: not prohibit player use of these substances, but rather it
22:19
Speaker 3: restricts clubs from providing or supplying them in any form.
22:24
Speaker 3: The NFL has confirmed this to us, So hey, great
22:29
Speaker 3: news for George Kittle. He just has to get his
22:32
Speaker 3: own stuff, got to get his own ais his own
22:35
Speaker 3: smelling salts on the sideline for every drive. He can
22:39
Speaker 3: keep doing that. It's just the forty nine ers can't
22:42
Speaker 3: supply him with any of that stuff.
22:44
Speaker 4: That's what this whole policy is about. Very strange.
22:50
Speaker 3: I don't know why the NFL would word it the
22:52
Speaker 3: way they did. If you go back, like some of this,
22:55
Speaker 3: they do word it correctly, where you know, according to
22:58
Speaker 3: the memo beginning the season, teams are prohibited from providing
23:02
Speaker 3: and supplying ammonia in any form. Okay, that's pretty clear.
23:06
Speaker 3: But like most of these memos, there's so much information
23:10
Speaker 3: that you kind of just remember bits and pieces or
23:13
Speaker 3: the last thing in the memo, which is as a result,
23:16
Speaker 3: the NFL Headneck and Spine Committee recommended prohibiting the use
23:21
Speaker 3: of AI's for any purpose during NFL play. I'm just
23:25
Speaker 3: like George Kittle and everyone, I'm like, all right, it's
23:28
Speaker 3: over with. The NFL is like, no, not necessarily. We
23:32
Speaker 3: just didn't word it very well. It's the clubs just
23:35
Speaker 3: can't provide this stuff. That's all.
23:38
Speaker 4: You're like, Wow, what were all those words about?
23:40
Speaker 3: Then? That seems pretty easy to digest. I don't know
23:43
Speaker 3: why they worded it that way. Very strange, but that's
23:46
Speaker 3: where we are. George Kittle can celebrate again. Can use
23:50
Speaker 3: the smelling salts. Very nice, by the way, Brian no
23:55
Speaker 3: In for Big Ben Meller here on Fox Sports Radio, Coop,
23:58
Speaker 3: I had a crazy idea, man, I wanted to run
24:01
Speaker 3: something by you, and the NFL fan in me and
24:06
Speaker 3: the curiosity in me would love to do this. But
24:10
Speaker 3: it's only if you're on board, and it would be
24:12
Speaker 3: a lot of legwork for me. Okay, but here's the deal.
24:18
Speaker 3: We have differing views on Zach Allen. You call him
24:23
Speaker 3: a star. I say he just doesn't have the notoriety
24:25
Speaker 3: to be a star. Plays defensive line for the Broncos,
24:29
Speaker 3: just got a contract extension. Eight and a half sacks
24:31
Speaker 3: last season, He's productive. I just don't think he's a star.
24:34
Speaker 3: So Koop and I disagreed last night. We won't rehash
24:37
Speaker 3: the whole argument. But what I thought was if I
24:42
Speaker 3: went just whatever on the strip here in Vegas and
24:46
Speaker 3: did a little man on the scene, you know what
24:49
Speaker 3: I mean, Like you know the street reports if you will, jeez,
24:54
Speaker 3: I'm just curious. If you're not up for it, that's fine.
24:57
Speaker 3: But if I asked ten people like NFL fans. That's
25:02
Speaker 3: the prerequisite.
25:03
Speaker 7: Well, see, I mean that's that's how are you gonna
25:06
Speaker 7: determine that?
25:07
Speaker 4: I mean, you got to go by their word?
25:08
Speaker 3: I mean, that's it can't just be this long, extensive quiz.
25:12
Speaker 3: You know.
25:13
Speaker 7: I can already tell you that you're gonna it's that
25:17
Speaker 7: they're not gonna know Zach Allen. Ten random people that
25:20
Speaker 7: claim to be NFL fans on the the Las Vegas Strip.
25:24
Speaker 4: That's what I'm telling you.
25:25
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Like even and I would say like, hey, man,
25:29
Speaker 3: are you an NFL fan? Like really, you pay attention,
25:32
Speaker 3: you love the NFL, you watch games every week like
25:35
Speaker 3: you're legit. If they're like, oh yeah, absolutely, it's like,
25:38
Speaker 3: all right, do you know which team Zach Allen plays for?
25:42
Speaker 3: I don't know if any of the ten would get.
25:44
Speaker 4: That, right.
25:45
Speaker 7: I think they would if they if you asked that
25:48
Speaker 7: prerequisite and they said yes, I would think that there
25:51
Speaker 7: would be a number of the people out of ten
25:53
Speaker 7: that would say that.
25:54
Speaker 4: What number do you think it would be?
25:57
Speaker 7: I don't know. I mean I think think they could.
26:00
Speaker 7: Also there's a possibility they might say I don't know,
26:04
Speaker 7: because he's just kind of recently on the Broncos the
26:08
Speaker 7: last couple of years. Spent most of his career with
26:11
Speaker 7: the Cardinals.
26:12
Speaker 3: Do you think they're gonna they're that deep in the game,
26:14
Speaker 3: They're gonna be like, oh, the Cardinals, Zach Allen. You know,
26:17
Speaker 3: as long as they prove in any way, shape or form,
26:21
Speaker 3: who the hell this guy is, and that's good enough
26:23
Speaker 3: for me. I don't need your current team if they're like, oh,
26:27
Speaker 3: Boston College, Oh Arizona Cardinals is great, fantastic, you win,
26:31
Speaker 3: you know, I don't think they would even get that.
26:34
Speaker 3: I really don't.
26:36
Speaker 7: I think you'd have a few.
26:38
Speaker 3: Maybe we do this when you're here in Vegas. Maybe
26:41
Speaker 3: that's how we have a rock and good time. We
26:43
Speaker 3: just go man on the street, you know, and we
26:45
Speaker 3: ask about Zach Allen. I'm just curious, you know, I
26:49
Speaker 3: really I feel strongly that most people would not know.
26:54
Speaker 7: How about you go into the sports book and start
26:56
Speaker 7: asking people.
26:58
Speaker 3: I guarantee that that that's a spot where they might
27:02
Speaker 3: know even less than random Honestly, yes, I completely believe that. Coop,
27:09
Speaker 3: Like I do a show with Bill Krackenberger on Sundays,
27:13
Speaker 3: It's Countdown presented by BETMGM and crack is amazing at
27:18
Speaker 3: sports betting. He's made a ton of money over the years.
27:22
Speaker 3: Very sharp guy. He's made a living. He literally makes
27:25
Speaker 3: a living on sports betting. It blows. I don't know
27:28
Speaker 3: how anybody makes a living off of sports betting. This
27:32
Speaker 3: stuff is very tough to predict a lot of times,
27:34
Speaker 3: especially NFL.
27:36
Speaker 4: These lines.
27:37
Speaker 3: Lines are fine tuned and sharpened, and it's hard to
27:40
Speaker 3: find edges and value. He finds a way, and he
27:42
Speaker 3: makes a living off this makes money every single year.
27:46
Speaker 3: And he's said on the show before, he's like, I
27:48
Speaker 3: don't think I could name fifteen starting quarterbacks in the
27:51
Speaker 3: league right now. He's he has no chance to know
27:55
Speaker 3: who Zach Allen is.
27:56
Speaker 7: Well, so then he obviously just doesn't ever do prop bets.
28:00
Speaker 3: He does prop bets all the time that how can
28:02
Speaker 3: he not name fifteen quarterbacks?
28:05
Speaker 2: I don't know.
28:05
Speaker 7: You have to you see their names. You're making the
28:07
Speaker 7: bet on them.
28:08
Speaker 4: I know, I don't know. I don't know, but I
28:12
Speaker 4: don't know. I don't coop. I'm telling you, I believe it.
28:15
Speaker 3: It might maybe not the quarterback thing, but if you
28:19
Speaker 3: just said, hey, crack, name name twenty wide receivers currently
28:23
Speaker 3: in the NFL, even though he bets on these dudes
28:26
Speaker 3: all the time, I doubt just off the top of
28:29
Speaker 3: his head, he just rattle stuff off.
28:31
Speaker 4: And that's what I'm saying.
28:32
Speaker 3: Like a lot of these sharps, a lot of the pros,
28:34
Speaker 3: the sports betters, like they look at the game from
28:39
Speaker 3: a completely different angle, like maybe these like fantasy football players.
28:45
Speaker 3: It's all on the offensive side of the ball ball
28:47
Speaker 3: pretty much. Though they probably wouldn't know Zach Allen either.
28:50
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone knows Zach Allen. That's the Vito.
28:53
Speaker 4: No one knows. No one knows.
28:55
Speaker 3: Maybe like a trainer, maybe a trainer for the Broncos
28:58
Speaker 3: knows who Zach Allen is. I'm I'm not sure. I'm
29:00
Speaker 3: not convinced of that, but uh, I think that's our
29:03
Speaker 3: only hope.
29:04
Speaker 7: Coop.
29:04
Speaker 4: I don't think that.
29:05
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, the random people on the street, I
29:09
Speaker 3: don't do.
29:10
Speaker 4: The batting average would be low. Low.
29:13
Speaker 3: Of the ten people, I'd be floored if two of
29:16
Speaker 3: them got it right. Floored you you go like three four?
29:22
Speaker 4: What do you think?
29:23
Speaker 7: Like you see you said? If you're asking them, you
29:25
Speaker 7: are You're into the NFL. That's the that's the whole thing.
29:28
Speaker 3: You have to be like legit big fan, like I
29:31
Speaker 3: pay attack I watch, you know, not just like oh
29:35
Speaker 3: it's the Dallas. I always forget their neme.
29:37
Speaker 4: It's like you're out. You're out.
29:39
Speaker 3: I don't want to talk to you. You have to
29:40
Speaker 3: know football, you have to watch, you have to love it.
29:43
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know, we'll see.
29:44
Speaker 4: Yeah.
29:46
Speaker 3: I'm curious though, curious what that would end up being like.
29:52
Speaker 3: And and listen, it's not a knock very good player,
29:55
Speaker 3: productive player. I just he's not He's not a name,
29:59
Speaker 3: you know, just not known, no notoriety. That happens, happens in.
30:04
Speaker 4: The end of it. We had the no name defense
30:05
Speaker 4: with the Dolphins.
30:06
Speaker 3: You know, just because you don't have no notoriety doesn't
30:09
Speaker 3: mean you aren't incredibly productive. Like you could be very
30:13
Speaker 3: productive and not have a name. By the way, I
30:18
Speaker 3: saw a little interesting blurb here. I think it's from Yahoo.
30:22
Speaker 3: They have a newsletter and this is an interesting trivia question.
30:26
Speaker 3: So Kyron Williams with the Rams, they're running backs, just
30:31
Speaker 3: got a contract extension three years, thirty three million dollars.
30:37
Speaker 3: That's it, you know, Like this idea of Saquon Barkley
30:40
Speaker 3: was amazing. Last season, Derrick Henry was awesome last season. Hey,
30:44
Speaker 3: maybe the running back market now it's still in the
30:47
Speaker 3: toilet comparatively speaking, you know, I think this was like
30:51
Speaker 3: twenty three million. That's right, twenty three million dollars guaranteed.
30:56
Speaker 3: And the trivia question is, like Kyron Williams has had
31:00
Speaker 3: twenty six rushing touchdowns over the last two seasons. That's
31:04
Speaker 3: a lot. He's tied for the fourth most in the league.
31:09
Speaker 3: And so the question is, can you name the other
31:12
Speaker 3: three players who have more rushing touchdowns over the last
31:16
Speaker 3: two years than Kyron Williams. So when you start thinking
31:20
Speaker 3: about this, I mean immediately I start thinking running backs.
31:24
Speaker 4: Okay, like.
31:26
Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley doesn't score a ton of rushing touchdowns, Derrick
31:32
Speaker 3: Henry does. He's got to be on the list. And
31:34
Speaker 3: then it gives a hint and it says two are quarterbacks.
31:39
Speaker 3: Two of the three guys that have had more rushing
31:42
Speaker 3: touchdowns than Kyron Williams over the last two years, they're.
31:46
Speaker 7: Quarterbacks Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts.
31:49
Speaker 3: There you go, that's the list right there, Coop. Jalen
31:53
Speaker 3: Hurts has the most twenty nine. Then Derrick Henry with
31:56
Speaker 3: twenty eight, Josh Allen with twenty seven, it's pretty wild,
32:00
Speaker 3: and then Kyron Williams with twenty six. He's right there,
32:04
Speaker 3: He's right there neck and neck with those guys.
32:06
Speaker 4: But yeah, how amazing is that.
32:09
Speaker 6: That?
32:10
Speaker 3: Again, I don't want to rehash the whole Jalen Hurts argument,
32:14
Speaker 3: where a lot of these what was it like the
32:18
Speaker 3: dudes at sports books that come up with the lines
32:21
Speaker 3: and all that, They asked those guys the book makers, Hey,
32:25
Speaker 3: how many points against the spread are these quarterbacks really worth?
32:29
Speaker 3: So the odds makers, twelve of them were asked this question,
32:32
Speaker 3: and somehow Jalen Hurts ended up at six point three.
32:36
Speaker 3: He's worth six point three points against the spread, whether
32:39
Speaker 3: he's playing or the backup is playing. I just don't
32:43
Speaker 3: buy that. Man. Like again, Josh Allen's got twenty seven
32:46
Speaker 3: rushing touchdowns as well on top of all the passing touchdowns,
32:51
Speaker 3: and they're separated hardly by anything. So Josh Allen is
32:55
Speaker 3: that Let me see the list. Sorry I said I
32:57
Speaker 3: wasn't gonna rehash this, and here I am rehash. Josh
32:59
Speaker 3: Allen is at six point nine points against the spread.
33:03
Speaker 3: That's what he's worth compared to a backup Jalen Hurts
33:07
Speaker 3: is at six point three points against the spread. Really,
33:12
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts has two more rushing touchdowns than Josh Allen
33:16
Speaker 3: does over the last two years, and Josh Allen I
33:19
Speaker 3: have to look, but the amount of passing touchdowns that
33:23
Speaker 3: Josh Allen has more than Jalen Hurts over the last
33:26
Speaker 3: two years, and yet it's like point six difference points
33:32
Speaker 3: against the spread between Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts.
33:35
Speaker 4: That's outrageous. That's crazy talk right there.
33:39
Speaker 3: No way, I don't buy that at all, but I
33:41
Speaker 3: said I wouldn't rehash it, so I'm not going to Hey, Militia,
33:44
Speaker 3: you're more than welcome to check in here.

34:34
Speaker 3: So the news here on Wednesday. This was tweeted out
34:38
Speaker 3: by Ian Rappaport. He just tweeted sources. Rams quarterback Matthew
34:43
Speaker 3: Stafford is dealing with an aggravated disc and has received
34:49
Speaker 3: an epidural to help him deal with it. Los Angeles
34:53
Speaker 3: has called him week to week, being cautious, but with
34:56
Speaker 3: plans for him to be ready for week one. A. Man,
35:00
Speaker 3: I don't know this thing when we're talking about an
35:02
Speaker 3: aggravated disc and it's a back issue, and this just
35:07
Speaker 3: seems to be getting worse. The news just seems to
35:10
Speaker 3: be getting progressively worse. Because at first the Rams were like, yeah,
35:15
Speaker 3: you know, we're gonna hold him out of training camp.
35:18
Speaker 3: We're just being smart. He'll probably be back next week.
35:22
Speaker 3: And then they were like, yeah, not next week either,
35:25
Speaker 3: he'll be out that next week as well.
35:27
Speaker 4: We're just we're just being smart, just being cautious.
35:29
Speaker 3: And now the next thing you get is, oh, we're
35:31
Speaker 3: talking aggravated disc epidural back issue. It's like, and this
35:38
Speaker 3: is Matthew Stafford. Matthew Stafford is tough his nails, but
35:42
Speaker 3: this dude has taking taken a freaking beating over the years,
35:47
Speaker 3: and I just don't know that his body is gonna respond.
35:50
Speaker 3: So if Matthew Stafford is not upright for seventeen games
35:56
Speaker 3: in the playoffs or you know, maybe you know, maybe
36:00
Speaker 3: they have their spot locked up and he sits the
36:02
Speaker 3: last week, but the point is injury. If he's not
36:05
Speaker 3: ready to go for I don't know. Let's say it's
36:09
Speaker 3: a handful of games. Let's say it's somewhere between like
36:13
Speaker 3: two to five six games this season, and you got
36:16
Speaker 3: Jimmy G over there ish, Hey, I don't know, man,
36:22
Speaker 3: I don't know.
36:23
Speaker 4: About that one.
36:24
Speaker 3: And by the way, not to completely change the subject,
36:28
Speaker 3: but isn't it funny how not that long ago Jimmy G.
36:34
Speaker 3: He was brock Purty before Perty came along. Right in
36:38
Speaker 3: terms of just being like the toast of the league,
36:41
Speaker 3: Jimmy G just wins. There were Jimmy G defenders left
36:44
Speaker 3: and right, and then he left the forty nine ers
36:47
Speaker 3: left a really great supporting cast went to the Raiders
36:51
Speaker 3: and wow, what do you know? He didn't produce hardly
36:54
Speaker 3: at all. And now he's a backup. Now he's in
36:57
Speaker 3: journeyman status where you're looking at it and you're like, man,
37:00
Speaker 3: if Stafford gets hurt, you got a resort to Jimmy
37:04
Speaker 3: g You it's like he's got cooties. We're back on
37:08
Speaker 3: this on the playground as kids. You Jimmy g Oh.
37:14
Speaker 3: They didn't take long for Jimmy g to you know,
37:18
Speaker 3: come back to Earth. That supporting cast matters, It absolutely matters.
37:24
Speaker 3: But I mean, don't think the same thing wouldn't happen
37:27
Speaker 3: to Purty. That's all I'm saying right here is if
37:30
Speaker 3: he goes to the Raiders leaves the Niners and he's
37:34
Speaker 3: not he's not a difference maker with a supporting cast
37:37
Speaker 3: that's not nearly as good. That's that's just the truth
37:40
Speaker 3: about Purty. Nothing personal, But I would be I'd be
37:43
Speaker 3: skeptical of the Rams. You know, I had high helps
37:46
Speaker 3: for them coming into this season. I think they're a
37:48
Speaker 3: really good team. I think the defense is getting better,
37:51
Speaker 3: it's improving. It's a young defense. Jared Verse could be nasty.
37:56
Speaker 3: I think they've got some playmakers over there, a little smaller,
37:59
Speaker 3: little undersized, like they got punked by the Eagles every
38:02
Speaker 3: time they played him. Saquon Barkley is just on these
38:05
Speaker 3: joy rides to the end zone, you know, sixty seventy
38:08
Speaker 3: yards no problem. But they picked up Poonaford right nose tackle,
38:15
Speaker 3: trying to get a little more stout against the rush
38:18
Speaker 3: and if healthy. I like what they have here when
38:20
Speaker 3: you've got Puka Nakua, DeVante Adams there, Tyler Higbee has
38:25
Speaker 3: been productive, Kyron Williams running the ball. Matthew Stafford's still
38:29
Speaker 3: a good quarterback. The question isn't about production. I think
38:32
Speaker 3: it's mostly about health. Maybe he's dealing with back issues
38:37
Speaker 3: and epidurals already.
38:39
Speaker 7: Man.
38:40
Speaker 3: I just don't know if that's gonna be a good
38:42
Speaker 3: situation this season. Something to keep in mind while you're
38:46
Speaker 3: getting your season win total bets in there. By the way,
38:48
Speaker 3: shout out to Craig. He hit me up on X
38:51
Speaker 3: and just said some nice things like glad you're in tonight.
38:54
Speaker 3: He's looking forward to the Seahawks season and looking forward
38:58
Speaker 3: to darn Old, Cooper, Cup, Bobo, all those guys. So
39:01
Speaker 3: he's fired up for it. It's funny because I almost
39:05
Speaker 3: turned this into a who am I in honor of
39:07
Speaker 3: big Ben Mallard, Right, It's what he does around this
39:10
Speaker 3: time every show. I couldn't quite figure out how to
39:15
Speaker 3: do it, and I thought it was forced, and so
39:17
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah and ask screw it, I'm not gonna
39:19
Speaker 3: do that. But you ever go on Pro Football Reference
39:24
Speaker 3: and I love the website, and they'll just have the
39:27
Speaker 3: left corner they'll have like twelve pictures, twelve head shots
39:31
Speaker 3: of random NFL players, and I love doing that. You know,
39:36
Speaker 3: each day I'll try to guess as many of the
39:39
Speaker 3: head shots as possible, Like how many of these dudes
39:42
Speaker 3: can I actually name? Like one I can tell today
39:44
Speaker 3: is Kyle Yueschek, for sure. But of these twelve, I
39:48
Speaker 3: might get two, maybe three. It looks like Jerrod Mayo.
39:52
Speaker 4: I'm not cheating.
39:53
Speaker 3: You can scroll over it and see the names, you know,
39:55
Speaker 3: just leave the cursor there so I can get two.
39:58
Speaker 3: I don't know they know any more of these. But
40:00
Speaker 3: the point is a couple of days ago I did
40:02
Speaker 3: the same thing and it was the old Seahawks receiver
40:06
Speaker 3: Ricardo Lockett.
40:08
Speaker 4: And I've never.
40:09
Speaker 3: Done this before, but I was just looking at his
40:11
Speaker 3: stats and it blew my mind. So you might remember
40:14
Speaker 3: Ricardo Lockett where in the Super Bowl between the Seahawks
40:18
Speaker 3: and the Patriots when they didn't give the ball the
40:20
Speaker 3: Beast mode and the Patriots won. Right like that Super Bowl,
40:24
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson was throwing to his number three, number four
40:27
Speaker 3: receivers like Chris Matthews had a day he had four
40:30
Speaker 3: catches for one oh nine in a touchdown. Ricardo Lockett
40:33
Speaker 3: had three catches for fifty nine yards. And I never
40:36
Speaker 3: looked at their career numbers. It stunned me. Now, I
40:40
Speaker 3: know these are like three and four receivers, but I
40:43
Speaker 3: didn't know they did only this, like over four seasons.
40:48
Speaker 3: Ricardo Lockett he had twenty two catches in his NFL career.
40:52
Speaker 3: Chris Matthews had sixteen catches over three seasons. That's it crazy.
40:57
Speaker 3: Are we get to buying or selling training camp pipe
