• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Welcome in, Happy late night. We got all kinds of
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: things to talk about here. It's not your normal set
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: of headlines.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: We've got like suspension news and injury news stuff like that.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: But this part of the sports calendar, it reminds me
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: of a couple of movies. It reminds me of Saving
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Private Ryan, and it reminds me you hate Saving Private Ryan? Yes,
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: why it scarred me when I was young? How so,
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: what was it about it?
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: That very first scene when all the soldiers are out
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: in the field and the guy has his guts hanging
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: out and he's streaming for his mom.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well that would do it good scar you for sure.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: It's like Coop watching The Exorcist at five years old.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: You know, you're interestine. That's just a movie, you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: it's one of those things. But it does remind me
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: of blackhawk Down and Saving Private Ryan. Now, there's a
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: scene at the end of Saving Private Ryan when they're
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: guarding the final bridge and they're loading. They're getting all
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: of their AMMO to the middle of the table and
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Tom Hanks is like, well, this is it, this is
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: all we got.
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: That's what the sports world reminds me of right now
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: in terms of headlines. Not the sexiest of headlines, but
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: it's kind of like black hawk Down. You just make do.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: This is a part of that movie.
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: When every vehicle possible movie, it's got four wheels in armor.
• 1:58
  Speaker 8: Get it, get.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Everything right, just get everything, get everything, throw.
• 2:01
  Speaker 9: It out there, let's get after it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: That's how I feel about tonight's show. But just got
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: to be creative. I think there's plenty of good stuff
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: to hit on, and you're always welcome to participate. Militia
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is your number,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: or on X if you want to tweet me at
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: the no show is where you can find me as well.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Some people complain about the E in my name, just
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: remember if you're trying to find me there no is
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: spelled n oe. All right, there you go, good night.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Know it is not that no or n O. Yeah,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: throw the e. Gotta throw the e over there, you know. Okay,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: So we start with is this good news?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Initially it sounds like it is, but I'm not convinced
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: that it actually is. This is Chiefs wide receiver Rashie Rice.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: So he's gonna have a disciplinary hearing that's expected to
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: be on September thirtieth in New York. So this means
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: he'll likely be able to play the first four weeks
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: of the season before any potential discipline, and we can
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: eliminate potential he's going to be disciplined like he had
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: a role in a multi car crash I left multiple
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: people injured during the twenty twenty four offseason. It's finally
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: played out in court. It's done with. So now it's
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: the NFL stepping in determining what the punishment is going
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: to be. The interesting part is it's supposed to happen
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: around September thirtieth, So you think, okay, rashi Rice. All
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: these reports from Chiefs camp just glowing reports. Some of
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: these reporters are saying he actually looks better and more
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: explosive than he did before he suffered a knee injury
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: last season. And so it's like, all right, Chiefs, they're
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: cooking with grease. Now they got their wide receiver one,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Rashie Rice on the field for the first four weeks
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: most likely. But I started thinking about this, and I'm like,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: if it's up to the Chiefs, if they had it,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: if they had their preference, what would their preference be?
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Would it be that Let's just say it's a four
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: week suspension. I don't know how long it's going to be,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: but just for the sake of argument, let's just say
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: it's four games. Okay. If you're the Chiefs, would you
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: prefer your stud wide receiver to be suspended for the
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: first four games or like the next four games, you
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: know what I mean? Instead of weeks one through four,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: would you pick weeks five through eight? Which would you choose?
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I honestly don't know what they would choose. And I
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: looked at this. I'm strangely curious about this whole thing
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: because I'm looking at the schedule and I'm considering all
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: these things. If you look at the Rashie Rice situation,
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: just from the schedule standpoint, I think that the first
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: four games are a little tougher than the next four games.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: So if Rashi Rice, if you were suspended the first
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: four weeks, which it sounds like he will not be.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: So they take on the Chargers in Brazil. By the way,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: fun fact, so I I dated a Brazilian girl one time.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: That's not the fun fact. Well maybe maybe it is,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: but she I said Brazil one time, like that's how
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: and she looked at me sideways and she goes, you
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: don't say it with an L. She's like, it's Brazil.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, like with a W at the end,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: and she's like, yeah, like Brazil. I'm like, all right,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: I don't make the rules. Apparently that's the way if
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: you want to get in cool with the Brazilian crowd,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: you don't go with an L at the end of
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: the pronunciation. You go with a W. But in any event,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: the Chiefs aret taking on the Chargers in Brazil. That's
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: the first game. Then they're at home to host the
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Eagles at the Giants on a Sunday night. Then they
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: host the Ravens. So think of the three of the
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: first four games. Chargers internationally Eagles Ravens that that's pretty
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: tough slate. So it looks like Rashi Rice will be
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: there for the first four weeks. If you're a Chiefs fans,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: probably good news. Now if you look at the next
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: four games at Jacksonville on a Monday night, host the Lions,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: on a Sunday night, host the Raiders, host the Commanders
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: on a Monday night. So you've got three of the
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: next four games our primetime games, a couple of Monday
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: night games, a Sunday night game. Get the Lions in there,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: get the Commanders in there. So it's not like this
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: layup of games, you know, layup city the next four weeks.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: So like the schedule is what it is if you
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: think of it from a rhythm standpoint, right, having Rashie
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Rice miss weeks one through four or miss weeks five
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: through eight, I really don't know what their preference would
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: be think about this. I think there are arguments on
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: both sides. You could start the season with Rashie Rice.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: He's there for the first four games, you start to
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: establish a rhythm, and then the suspension kicks in and
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: he's gone for a little bit of time and then
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: he comes back. Is that easier for your team compared to, Hey,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: he's just gone the first four weeks, we got to
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: make do without him, and then boom, he's there for
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Week five and if healthy, he's there for the rest
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: of the season. I really don't know what their preference
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: would be. I don't My guess is it would probably
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: differ from team to team, from player to player. There
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: might be like Mahomes might say, Oh, my preference is this. Meanwhile,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen might say, well, you know, if it were
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: up to me and it's my stud wide receiver is
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: suspended for weeks one through four or weeks five through eight,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: this is what I would prefer. I really don't know.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know my I would say, my preference is
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: to have Rashie Rice there for the first four games.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: You play three tough teams Chargers, Eagles, Ravens, and I
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: also think to establish a rhythm, to get into a
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: groove to have him there for the beginning of the season.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: I think that's important because you start to get you know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: solidified as an offense, and you find out what works,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: you're finding out what doesn't. You're starting to get into
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: these patterns right and then he's gone for a little while,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: you have to make do, and then he's back. I
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: think that's a little bit easier than it is to
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: just not have him there for four weeks. You're trying
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: to make do, maybe you start establishing some rhythms, you're
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: getting into some patterns that are working, and then all
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: of a sudden he's there and you have to recalibrate everything.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: I think the way it looks like it's gonna shake out,
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: which is Russ g Rice is going to be there
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: for the first four weeks. It's just like an injury almost.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: You know, he goes away for the next four games
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: or however long the suspension is, I don't know, and
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: then you get him back. I think that's a little
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: bit better. So I don't know why mine just latched
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: onto that one, Like I don't. I'm strangely curious from
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: team to team what they would prefer if it were
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: up to me. If I'm a Chiefs fan, put it
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: that way, I would prefer for him to be there
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: for the first four weeks. Now. The disciplinary officer the
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Blast from the Past, Sue L. Robinson. She's jointly appointed
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: by the NFL and the NFL Players Association to oversee
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: this disciplinary stuff. Right, used to be Goodell. Now it's
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Sue L. Robinson. You might be like, how do I
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: know that name? That's what I was thinking. It's it's like, okay,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: she presided over the Deshaun Watson disciplinary hearing, right, she
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: was the one that determined how long that suspension was
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: going to be. And her name was thrown out there
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: all the freaking time. What Sue L. Robinson gonna rule?
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: What?
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: She blah blah blah. So that's the same Sue L. Robinson.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: This is only her second disciplinary hearing. So the second
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: case she's presided over will be Rashi Rice and we'll see.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: I'm curious how long the suspension is going to be
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: and what week it actually kicks in. But that's the story.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: He's supposed to get this disciplinary hearing on September thirtieth
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: in New York, and if that is the date, that
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: means he would be able to play the first four games.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: So there you go. I think kind of interesting stuff,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: by the way, for what it's worth in terms of
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: the suspension, amount of time, the length of the suspension.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: So he pled guilty to two third degree felony charges
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: it was collusion involving serious bodily injury and racing on
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: the highway causing bodily injury. Now he received deferred adjudications.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: That means the case will be dismissed if he completes
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: the probation. Basically, it's like you have this probationary period
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: where if you don't screw up again, it just goes away.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: It's basically how it works. So take that for what
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: it's worth. Sue L. Robinson will take all that into
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: account and she'll say three game suspension or I don't,
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: oh no, somewhere between three and six would be my guess.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Maybe like three four games probably what he gets. But
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, man Rashi Rice being back for
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: that Chief's offense is gonna be a big big deal.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: He was off to a magnificent start last season, played
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: only three and a half games, productive, had twenty four catches,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: almost three hundred yards, and three touchdown grabs in three
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: and a half games, averaging a touchdown a game basically,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: so to have him back in the mix, that is
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: a big big deal. I don't understand these people that
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: are like, ah, the blueprint has been figured out over here.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: The blueprint to beating the Chiefs that's established based on
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: the Eagles beating them. It's like, dude, the Eagles have
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: such a special roster. Let's not make it sound like
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: the Raiders bring the same thing to the table, you
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: know what I mean? Like this idea that the Chiefs
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: are gonna be I don't know, eight to nine this
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: season is ridiculous. I think that they're gonna still own
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: that division. I think they're still gonna be the biggest
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: problem in the AFC. You could argue the entire NFL.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: But for Mahomes to have these weapons back led by
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Rashie Rice is a big, big deal. But there you go.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Be there. For the first four weeks, it looks like,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: all right, we have plenty to get to. Tonight eight seven,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: seven ninety nine on Fox is your number. More injury
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: news around the corner. One other guy is on the show.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: I know, aren't you in the market for some good
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: injury news? Oh gosh, it's like you know, going to
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: the spas, like, ah, this is injury news, just what
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: I needed. But there's more injury news. And there's another
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: guy who's not injured at all, but he's actually going
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: to play, which I think is a good move, So
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: I'll throw a bunch of stories your way. Coming up next,
• 12:47

• 14:23
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Baseball season winding down. It's funny because the season is
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: so long. I read something literally a day or two
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: ago where it's like we're at the three quarter point
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: of the season. It's like we have the whole final
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: quarter of the season to go. It's like, my gosh,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: we still have a good amount of baseball left. You
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: have forty some games ish right around there. That's just
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: still a chunk of the season. It's a quarter of
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: the season, so it's a long I don't know about you,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: but I feel like man, the playoffs begin in a
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: couple of weeks. No, no, the actual several weeks from now.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Just a long man. But Blue Jays are playing some ball,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: playing really well. Okay, So more injury news, huh, in
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: the market for some hot injury news talk, I am.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: This is concerning Joe Flacco. Brown's QB one as of
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: right now according to their depth chart. So he's not
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: gonna play on Saturday night at the Eagles. You know,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: he's older. They're just gonna leave him out. Probably a
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: little bit nicked up too, but he's not gonna play.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Shaduur Sanders is unlikely to play. Also, he's got that
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: oblique injury. So you're probably gonna get Dylan Gabriel, another
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: rookie quarterback. And then Tyler Huntley or as I found
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: out last year when he was starting games for my
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Dolphins for a little bit of the season while Toul
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: was make sure you're sitting down for this, Toul was injured.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: You know, so Snoop Huntley. I didn't realize that Snoop
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Huntley that's his nickname over there. But back to Tyler,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: I guess Tyler Huntley, it's gonna be Dylan Gabriel and
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Tyler Slash Snoop Huntley that will get the majority of
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: the snaps for the Brownies that'll be on Saturday Night
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: against the Eagles. And the thing here, I was thinking
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: about this with Shadeur Sanders and I want to do
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: a long drawn out thing here, but two thoughts that
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: I have. One I was thinking about, do you think
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: it makes sense that Shaduur Sanders is the biggest story
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: in the NFL right now? And I think there are
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: good arguments on both sides. Whether he say, oh, yeah,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: it actually does make sense, You're like, no, it doesn't
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: make any sense at all. So the no argument would be, like,
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: the dude is QB four on the Browns. That's their
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: depth chart right now. They got him fourth. He's looking
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: up at Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dylan Gabriel. So
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: how he's the biggest story in the NFL and arguably
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: the sports world right now is looney tunes. That's wild.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: At best case scenario, he's gonna be the backups, backup
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: week one rolls around, So I could see someone like,
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: why is this such a big story. On the other side,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I think the argument for why he's the biggest story
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: in the NFL and maybe even the sports world right now.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Why it makes sense is he's like Bronnie James with talent.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: You know how big of a story Bronnie James was
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: in Summer League last year?
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: Was that just a diss of Bronnie James.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just reality. He's Bronnie James with some talent.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: It's true. I'm not trying to, you know, cloub er
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Bronni James, but it's true. Bronni James would not be
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: in the NBA without Lebron James. We know this. Shadeur
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Sanders would be in the NFL without Dion Sanders. The
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: funny thing is, without Dion Sanders, Shadeur Sanders might have
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: been a much higher draft pick. I think it's ridiculous
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: for teams to think that where it's like, oh, but
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: there was a lot of conversation. I wouldn't be surprised
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: if a lot of teams thought that, where it's like, oh,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: we have to put up with Dion Sanders and oh,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: this is his famous dad. And maybe I never bought
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: into any of that. That was a popular theory of oh,
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: you're gonna have to deal with Dion Sanders as if
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: he's what he's opening up Colorado Buffalo press conferences talking
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: all things Cleveland Browns, where it's like, hey, hey, coach Prime,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: what do you think about your first Big twelve game
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: this this weekend here? And he's like, you know what,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: I'll get to that, but a couple of things are
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: on my mind about my son not getting first team reps,
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: like it's all about the Cleveland Browns. That was never
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: realistic to begin with. That was dumb, Like what has
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Dion said? What has he tweeted? That's just been so
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: difficult for the Browns to deal with? So I thought
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: that whole line of thinking was just dumb. But I
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if some teams thought that, where they're like,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: all right, is the talent enough to deal with the
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: potential circus? I think some teams thought like that. But
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: the point is that Shadeur Sanders he's got a lot
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: more talent than Brownie James does. But he also has
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: a famous father and that makes the story that much bigger.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: And people really like Shador. Some people really dislike Shador,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: which is strange to me. The reasons for why do
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: you dislike Shador. I mean the flash, the flash, I
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: mean the style the guy. Okay, the flash in the style.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: It's that's what's keeping you up at night. You know,
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: you're waking up in cold sweats. You're having a hard
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: time resting because of the flash and the sizzle of
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Shador Sanders. What are we doing here? But everybody's got
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: an opinion about the guy. So from that aspect, while
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: we're in pre season foot ball, it does make sense
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: why he's such a gigantic story. So I'm actually of
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: the mindset it does make sense that the story is
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: this big. And make no mistake, he is the biggest
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: story in the NFL. Right now, who's bigger? What's the
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: bigger story? I mean, a lot of these stories are
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: just in passing. There isn't anything with real staying power
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: to the same degree that Shador Sanders that storyline what
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: it's provided. And so with all those reasons, I think
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: it does make sense. I could see the counter argument,
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: but listen, man, you don't have to be the biggest
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: thing in a sport to be the biggest story. You
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: could be the biggest thing in a sport and still
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: not be a big story that has happened plenty of times,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: so yeah, I think it does make sense. The other
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: thing that I thought of, and this was actually kind
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: of like on the fly during the show, because I
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: know what it was. They played an odd couple promo
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: with Rob Parker. Rob g was sitting in. They were
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: talking about how Rob disagreed with a lot of the
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: talking heads saying that the Browns are setting up should
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: do her to fail, and they talked about Lewis Reddick,
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: and Lewis didn't actually say that, which they said in
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: the promo. Lou Ridick didn't actually say that, but his
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: tone he was as close to saying that without saying it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: He's hinting, like, bro, man, they're putting him in a
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: rough spot, Like what are the Browns doing over here?
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: They're setting this kid up.
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: He came as close as you can to doing a
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: cannonball in those waters saying that the Browns are setting
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: him up to fail. RG three tweeted it. Stephen A.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Smith set it where they were setting him up to fail,
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: and Rob Parker was basically saying, I just totally agree disagree,
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: which is what I think too, And what I thought
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: of too, is that Lewis Riddick, and I was trying
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: to get to the sound. I'm looking for it right now.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: But Lou Riddick, when he was on Get Up, he
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: was talking about the whole situation with Shadur Sanders, and
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: he compared it to his own situation in the league.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: And every now and then it takes me a second
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: and something will pop it into my head, like, hey,
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: you know what, you might want to look up what
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: draft pick Lewis Riddick was in the NFL, you know
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: what I mean? And I look that up. And so
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Lou Riddick, So he was a defensive back. He started
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: off with the Falcons, was with the Browns for a
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: little bit, ended with the Raiders. So short career, we're
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: talking six years in the NFL. But he was a
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: ninth round pick. This is way back in ninety one
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: when the draft was many more rounds than right now.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: It's only seven rounds now. He was a ninth round pick.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: He was two hundred and forty eighth overall. And so
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: that's the dangerous part if a player like Lewis Riddick
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: is comparing his situation in the NFL to Shadure Sanders situation,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: in the NFL. It's not exactly apples to apples. So
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: let's rewind back to what Lewis Riddick said about Shaduur Sanders.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: This was the week leading up to Chadure's preseason debut
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: against Carolina. He threw the two touchdown passes, all of that,
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: but due to a lack of reps in practice, Lewis
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Riddick compared his situation as an NFL player to Shaduur Sanders'
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: current situation as an NFL player. Check this out.
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: I'm afraid he's gonna get on the field in preseason
• 23:31
  Speaker 11: games without a lot of practice reps, and then they're
• 23:33
  Speaker 11: going to ask him to perform these heroic tasks in
• 23:36
  Speaker 11: order to prove that he's worthy of being a starter
• 23:38
  Speaker 11: when he hasn't had enough rep to really get comfortable.
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: That's the kind of battle he's dealing with right now.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 23:44
  Speaker 11: I've seen it, Tom, You've seen it. We've been in
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: these camps. We know how that goes. You don't get
• 23:49
  Speaker 11: enough reps. They play a whole half of a game
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: and then all of a sudden, coaches are going, why
• 23:53
  Speaker 11: are you making that mistake? Why aren't you making that check,
• 23:55
  Speaker 11: why are you doing that technique? Well, damn, coach, I
• 23:57
  Speaker 11: never was in there in practice. You never even talked
• 23:59
  Speaker 11: to me during practice, But now you expect me to know.
• 24:02
  Speaker 11: That's what they're gonna expect of him. But if anyone
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: can get it done, it's this kid, because he's been
• 24:06
  Speaker 11: trained the right way. But I'm telling you he is
• 24:09
  Speaker 11: ice skating uphill.
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: He just is.
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: And every time you hear this organization talk, you get
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: that feel.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Okay, so right, he's making it sound like the Browns
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: are setting him up, they're putting him in a really
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: really tough position, that sort of thing. He came as
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: close as saying they're setting him up to fail without
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: actually saying that. But the point I'm making is, although
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: that does happen in the NFL, let's not make it
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: sound like all things are equal. Lewis Riddick was not
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: a star player in college. He was not you know,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: he was not talked about like crazy. It wasn't a
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: projected top ten pick who fell to the later rounds.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: That there was nothing that all of those things matter.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: And so like, what's in it for the Browns if
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Shadour fails? Like, how is that benefiting them. Why would
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: they want to put him in a position where he
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: goes out there and he's skating uphill, he hasn't had reps.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Why would they want to do that. They don't want
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: to do that. I just look at you know, if
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Lou Riddick is a ninth round pick, could I see
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: a team that's like, you know, Lou didn't get his
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: reps today. They're not gonna be like, oh no, oh no,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: we got to change that. We gotta get him his reps.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: We've gotta make sure, best case scenario, he's not going
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: to be a player with great value that other teams
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: are interested in trading for. Shador Sanders could be a
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: guy like that that other teams are interested in trading for.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: So I just don't think that it's the same situation.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's even close to the same situation.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: But hey, take that for what it's worth. We turned
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: the page on all that stuff. One other player to
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: mention here before I get to the militia that isn't
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: injured at all, but we'll be getting on the field
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: for the first time in this year's preseason. That would
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: be Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. So he'll be playing. This
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: will be on Sunday night. It'll be a Fox game, right,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: a little Sunday night football, Bears hosting the Bills. Caleb
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Williams will get some playing time. I have no idea.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: It didn't make any sense whatsoever to me that Caleb
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Williams didn't see the field last week against the Dolphins.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: I think it makes all the sense in the world
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: to get him a couple of series. He's got a
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: lot of new teammates. You know, he got some rookie
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: He's got a rookie tight end, rookie wide receiver, three
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: new interior offensive linemen. Now granted all of them probably
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: wouldn't play. Joe Tooney, it doesn't need to play in
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: the preseason. So you run a risk if you throw
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: your QB one out there and you don't have all
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: the ones with him. You don't want to put him
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: in a position where he's likely to get injured. Right,
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: But I think it makes a ton of sense to
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: get Caleb Williams out there. He's got a brand new
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: head coach, new playbook, new terminology, new interior offensive line,
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: new weapons to throw too. It's just new all across
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: the board. The first game of the year is against
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: the Vikings with defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who has all
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: these disguised looks, this tricky defense he's gonna be throwing
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: at him. The last thing that Caleb Williams needs is
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: to not be up to speed with the playbook, the terminology,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: the new head coach, the new teammates. That has to
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: be on point because he's going up against a tough
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: defense and a really tough defensive coordinator. So I think
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: all that other stuff has got to be right, and
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: it makes more sense to get him out there in
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: a game like situation, to get him a couple of series.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: So he's playing against the Bills. I thought it was
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: a missed opportunity last week against the Dolphins, and that's
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: something I disagreed with with their new head coach Ben Johnson.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: He was like, well, even though he didn't play in
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: the preseason game, we were able to get Caleb Williams
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: like eighty more reps. Someone's got to break that down
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: for me, Like, why why would it eliminate Caleb Williams
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: reps had he played last week against the Dolphins in
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: their first preseason game, How does that eliminate practice reps.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: I don't get that. Why can't you have both? Why
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: can't he get a series or two and also get
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: practice reps. Why is it one or the other. That
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: never made any sense to me whatsoever. But hey, whatever,
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: we know that he'll be on the field against the
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Bills on Sunday Night. That might be and I don't
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: know this for sure, that might be a little Fox
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: dress rehearsal. You know, like these national crews, they'll get
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: a couple of games in the preseason. Maybe that'll be
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: a Kevin Burkhart Tom Brady game. I'm not sure it
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: might be. But that's Sunday night, Bears hosting the Bills.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: With that, let's get to the militia eight seven, seven
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: ninety nine on Fox. Oh man, this guy, he might
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: want to gloat. I hope he has new picks for us,
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: because Poppy, he crushed the baseball picks last time.
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: I encourage him.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Brian, Uh, oh, well, he's gonna throw out picks regardless
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: whatever I say, Lorena, Let's see what Poppy has to say.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: He's in San Diego. What's going on? Poppy?
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: Hey, what's going on? Brian? Well, yeah, you called it
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: right last week. I predicted it here where should Door Sanders?
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: He shined and my surprise, no, Brian, But I'm glad
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: you're showing door Sanders some more love than you did
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: last week, because last week, if I reckon my call, right,
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: you're like, here, you're going against the first team and like, oh,
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: he hasn't had reps and I'm like, that don't matter.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: So what I was thinking, Brian, like, are you surprised
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: how he performed? George Paters?
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: He played al right, he played well. I give him
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: his flowers. You know, this is the most annoying type
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: of call, Poppy. I just want to tell the I
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: was right, and you were the guy saying, like the
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: photographic memory, that's the most annoying thing on the face
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: of the earth. Poppy. Yeah, your Q rating is dwindling
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: in my eyes right now. I told you not to
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: encourage him.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: Well, Brian, well, sha door Standers. He did amazing and
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: look unfortunately he does. He did get hurt, you know
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: how you were saying, blig list his shoulder whatever. But
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: it's all right. I mean the Browns already saw enough
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: what they did. And I felt, Brian that we had
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: like the Domino Tec because we were talking about shad
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: door Sanders here last week and then everyone coffeecat Lake
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: on Fox Sports Raiders. They were talking about door standards,
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: but we said it here first, Brian. But now I
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: am going to give some picks about the preseason. I
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: know you've been cranking those picks. But tomorrow there's two
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: games and it's the Falcons and decided that is a
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: little bit boring, to be honest. If Camboard is gonna play,
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: I think you guys are gonna bet on that one.
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: Bet on the under. I think he's going to get
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: their limited mats and he's not really going to play.
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: But on this game, I think the home team, the Falcons.
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: I think they're at plus four and a half right now, right, Brian,
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: Falcons on that one.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, which one? Which side do you like
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: in that one?
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: I'm liking the Falcons of dirty Birds four and a half.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: They're playing at home. All the fans are gonna be happy,
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: you know, positive energy, cheap food, you know, I mean,
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: I think Lorena will be happy there. So maybe you
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: know we should go over there and watch a home
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: game right there. And you know everybody loves cheap food,
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: you know, So I like the Falcons. And then on
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: the on the second game, it's the Chiefs against the
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: Seattle Seahawks. I know that's the Lorena's hometown, Seattle. They're
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: looking pretty good. Look on the Seahawks, guys, I know
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: you know, Sam Donald is gonna be playing all the
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: first team reps. So on the prop bet on that one,
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: I don't know what the line is, Brian, I will
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: go over on Sam Donald on the yards. I don't
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: know what that is, but he's gonna be starting. So
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: I really do like Sam Donald. And so the Dolphins is
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: gonna be moving. But on the winning side, I'm gonna
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna have to stick the cheese on this month.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: On the preseason plus three points, there's a lot of
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: points for the preseason ran right, and and the main
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: take the best for last. We're gonna give a UFC
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: pick UFC three to nineteen, Brian, we got the main event.
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: We got through Oxford Duplex from South Africainst. Tamaya, Uhama right,
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: minus two forty. This is attacked too un again and
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: this is in Chicago, Tamaya. We're gonna go with uh Chamayas.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: We're gonna go with him minus two forty. Everyone's rooting
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: for him.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Minus two forty. That's what you're bringing to the table tonight.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: Minus two forty. What is this?
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna smash his head, Brian. He's gonna smash his head,
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: and he's for real, he's gonna smash his You know,
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: I really love the face off when they we're facing
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: off a lot of tension, and I thought that's gonna
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: be the best fighting minus two forty. That's a still
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: right there. So I'm loving the minus two forty on
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: that one.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: You better not lose a minus two forty bed over here, Poppy.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: That's it gets your banned for at least a week.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: You know, you can't be losing. You can't as bank
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: roll right there. You know, hopefully it's a layup and
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: it cashes.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: It is a layup. He's gonna smash his head and
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: he's gonna eat on my life.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: How he said, all right, all right, we'll see how
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: it works out, Poppy. I'll be rooting for you, Bud.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Appreciate you. Check it in the one thing and don't
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: take this as me, you know, because Poppy will take
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: this as me. It's like I just told him something
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: to keep in mind. You know what Shouduur is that
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Panthers defense, the ones who were supposed to play for
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: a little while, Shauduur got a ton of playing times.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: So hey, Poppy was right, he got it, you know,
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: two touchdown passes give him his props. But he's on
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: the Falcons. I know that Pennix Junior and Kirk Cousins
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: they will not be playing. So if you're rolling with
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: the Falcons even plus four, you're rolling with their backup, backup,
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: backup QBS. Which, hey, maybe maybe it works out, maybe
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: it's problematic. I don't know, just something to keep in mind.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: That's all just throwing it out there. I will get
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: back to the militia coming up right around the corner. Also,
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: some potentially outstanding news for our guy Justin Cooper. It's
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: my brighten, his evening in his early hours. Right. Yeah,
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: that's along the way as well. I'm Brian though in
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: for Big Ben Mallor keep it locked right here on
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio.
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: It is Fox Sports Radio. I'm probably though in for
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Big Ben Maller. You know, I kind of like this
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: music makes sense for what I'm gonna throw out there
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: right here, Little Britney spears in the background. I don't know,
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: it seems to fit, but some almost like pop news.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: If you will, Coop, I know you're a big Sydney
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Sweeney fan, big fan, right that hasn't changed, has it?
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: I know it has not.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: Okay, I don't even know if this story is true,
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: but fingers crossed it is so. Apparently Sydney Sweeney is
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: a big Washington Commander's fan, and she said in a
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: recent interview and backed it up on social media that
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: she will celebrate naked should the Washington Commanders win a
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl this season. And she says, I'm not kidding,
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm gonna be in the parade with nothing
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: but my commander's gear and a smile. Let's make history together,
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: is what she threw out there. So if your Broncos
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: can't win, you know, maybe the Commander's not a bad
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: you know, not a bad consolation present right there, Coop?
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: If it entails Sydney Sweeney, you know, going birthday suit
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: over here?
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: Is this true? I saw this quote and I did
• 35:15
  Speaker 9: not believe it. I thought it was a fake quote.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: It very much could be. I I don't know, like
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: I've I've gone all over the place and can't confirm it.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: All I can say is fingers crossed that there's some
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: validity to it. Yeah, I don't personally believe it. But
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: if she's a Washington commander's fan, that that's the other
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: part that I didn't realize. And I was strangely curious
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: about that. Did you know? So I was looking at
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: the famous fans for certain NFL teams. If I I
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: just threw out some names, you know, Lady Gaga. Who
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: do you think Lady Gaga roots for what NFL team?
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: You have any idea? I didn't have any idea.
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: The Giants, I'm going to write.
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: Good job, thanks for letting me guess you were going
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: to get it.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Was going to be wrong. Nice job, coup, Very well
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: done by you. You know you. Thank you.
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: I'm not open. Look at what I what I have
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: on the show. I know I'm going to validate your cheating.
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: It's I have Sidney Sweeney Redskins typed into Google. No,
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: I mean I guessed I had. I had a you know,
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: fifty to fifty shot. It was going to be the
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: Giants or the Jets. She's from New York.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, true, narrowed it down right there. Do you know
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: who Amy Adams is a big fan of?
• 36:32
  Speaker 9: You know, I don't know where she's from.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure where she's from either.
• 36:37
  Speaker 9: Nope, I don't know.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: You're Broncos. Oh yes, how about that Amy Adams rooting
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: for the Broncos over there. Didn't realize that. But there
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: are a bunch of names on this list. Uh, some
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: are kind of interesting.
• 36:50
  Speaker 9: Amy van Dykin also a Broncos fan.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: There you go. Stacey Keebler remember her? Like, w was
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: it w W E or w C?
• 37:00
  Speaker 9: I mean it was technically WWF back when she was
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: in it, but yeah ww Okay.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: Ravens apparently a big Ravens fan.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: I was gonna guess Baltimore Ravens. No you weren't, Yes,
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: I was, but it was with the last one, not
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: this one.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, with Amy Adams, I got it. Yeah, yeah yeah.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: And that's all the females. Everybody else is just dudes
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: on this list. Apparently Johnny Depp is a Dolphins fan,
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: so you know, got Donny Brosco on the Dolphins side.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: That's good, not bad. Yeah, a couple of singers on
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: the Patriots. You probably know this. You knew John bon Jovi.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: I would imagine. I didn't know Elton John. You know
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: Elton John is a Patriots fan.
• 37:43
  Speaker 9: I did not know that.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go. Will Ferrell Seahawks fan. I didn't
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: know that.
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: I knew he was a Trojans fan.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that. Yeah, I didn't know. I didn't
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: think Seahawks. There you go. Let's get back out to
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: the militia here. Emmett is an OLYMPI. Yeah, he's up next.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: What's going on? Ett? You're on Fox Sports Radio.
• 38:04
  Speaker 10: I just gained a new respect for Will Farrell. Brian, No,
• 38:06
  Speaker 10: thanks for that note.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: That's right. Yeah, he's down with very nice man.
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: You know, it's kind of cool to hear like celebrities
• 38:15
  Speaker 10: like that. I mean, like like your team Ammy Adams,
• 38:18
  Speaker 10: like in the Broncos. Is kind of crazy. But I'm
• 38:20
  Speaker 10: gonna throw this out here for you about the Seahawks,
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: speaking of because Will Ferrell, he brought me to bring this.
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: So Sam Donald is obviously going to be the starting
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: quarterback and you're talking about it with I believe Jos
• 38:31
  Speaker 10: Schwartzen for the pros and Joe basically saying, how you
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: guys are questioning why some quarterbacks don't start and some do.
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: I'm so glad that the Seahawks are making this adjustment.
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: I think that him not playing Week one it was stupid.
• 38:43
  Speaker 10: He comes into a new system with a completely different
• 38:46
  Speaker 10: style of offense, where Kevin O'Connell he's a quarterback mastermind, and
• 38:51
  Speaker 10: he comes in and now Sam Donald gets to play
• 38:54
  Speaker 10: under the system. I'm so glad that it's actually happening.
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: I think that if you want Sam Donald to succeed
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: in the regular season, like you were saying with Caleb,
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: he needs reps, he needs real game time reps. And
• 39:04
  Speaker 10: it's a little bit different. Sam Darnald's been there before,
• 39:06
  Speaker 10: but he's on a new team. And the other interesting
• 39:09
  Speaker 10: thing I was gonna bring up, I'll throw this at you,
• 39:11
  Speaker 10: is Jalen Milroe, the Seahawks quarterback we took from Alabama.
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: A lot of people were saying that, oh, maybe he's
• 39:18
  Speaker 10: gonna start, like eventually. I don't think that's gonna happen.
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: I think Sam Donald is gonna be fine this year,
• 39:24
  Speaker 10: and I don't think we're gonna move on to Milroe
• 39:26
  Speaker 10: at any point in time this year, unless Darnald gets hurt.
• 39:29
  Speaker 10: I think that if anything's gonna happen, it's gonna be
• 39:31
  Speaker 10: Donald's gonna ride the full year out and then we're
• 39:33
  Speaker 10: gonna opt out of that contract. But I was talking
• 39:36
  Speaker 10: to people on my show today and they were saying
• 39:38
  Speaker 10: that if Donald were to get hurt, they'd rather see
• 39:40
  Speaker 10: Drew Locke over Jaln Milroe, which I thought it was
• 39:43
  Speaker 10: a little bit crazy. So the question I'll ask you, Brian,
• 39:45
  Speaker 10: is do you see Jaln Milroe starting at any point
• 39:48
  Speaker 10: in time for the Seattle Seahawks this year.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's possible. It's always good to hear
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: from you. EMMTT good stuff.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: Look, it's possible, I think more what's more likely is
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: Donald gets the entire year, and it could be a
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: one and done situation, possibly right Like, I don't love
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: the mixture of if the offensive line in Sam Darnold,
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: who is not good facing a pass rush. He's not
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: good under pressure, not good under duress, as they say,
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: you know, I don't like that scenario for Sam, But
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know that it's so bad where record wise
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: or lack of production wise for Donald that he's getting
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: replaced by a rookie in his first year with Seattle.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: I have a hard time seeing that, I said, but
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: if it comes to that, if you know Donald struggling,
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: I would put Milrow in there before before lock. I
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: would not coming up next scathing compliments and
