- 0:30Speaker 1: stream the World Series live on Fox 1.
- 0:32Speaker 6: Woo!
- 0:34Speaker 1: You know what I was just thinking while reading that?
- 0:37Speaker 1: This will never happen in sports, but I would love
- 0:40Speaker 1: for it to. I would love for a team, take
- 0:43Speaker 1: the Dodgers for instance, right? They're down 3-0. It'll never
- 0:47Speaker 1: happen because it's a team sport and you can't admit
- 0:51Speaker 1: that you're done, that you're cooked. I would just like
- 0:55Speaker 1: one player. We've had some really colorful players recently. over
- 0:59Speaker 1: the years, regardless of what sport they play. You know,
- 1:03Speaker 1: I think of Dennis Rodman back in the day or,
- 1:06Speaker 1: you know, someone that's just, you know, a different, different cat.
- 1:11Speaker 1: I would love for one of those guys when they're
- 1:13Speaker 1: asked the question of like, you know, do you think
- 1:15Speaker 1: that you can get back in the series and win
- 1:17Speaker 1: this thing, get to the world series? It's always the same.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Oh, nothing, but nothing, but belief in this crew.
- 1:25Speaker 1: We've done it before. We're more than capable of doing
- 1:27Speaker 1: it again. I would love for someone to just be like,
- 1:30Speaker 1: like Jim Mora. Remember the playoffs rant playoffs. I just
- 1:34Speaker 1: want to hear one guy at one point. Just be like,
- 1:37Speaker 1: are you kidding me right now? When the series, when
- 1:40Speaker 1: four straight against, against this, this is our third rodeo.
- 1:44Speaker 1: We're trying to get to a third straight world series.
- 1:46Speaker 1: We are done. We're more than cooked at this point.
- 1:50Speaker 1: I would love to hear that, but it'll never happen.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Maybe it's just me being goofy. I don't know. But
- 1:55Speaker 1: I would love to get just complete honesty. But look, man,
- 1:59Speaker 1: the truth about sports is you have to lie to
- 2:01Speaker 1: yourself a lot of times. There are times where you
- 2:05Speaker 1: step on the field and you know that you're not
- 2:07Speaker 1: as good as your opponent and you know that your
- 2:09Speaker 1: chances are not very good to win. You can't afford
- 2:12Speaker 1: to think like that. You have to convince yourself that, oh,
- 2:15Speaker 1: it's happening. I know we've lost 15 in a row,
- 2:18Speaker 1: but we're due. It's happening tonight.
- 2:20Speaker 7: Right?
- 2:21Speaker 1: So it'll never happen, but I would love for it to.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I'll tell you something that's realistic, that should happen, that
- 2:28Speaker 1: very rarely does. I would love... For someone that's cheated,
- 2:33Speaker 1: we just saw this. Montez Sweat with the Bears. I
- 2:36Speaker 1: know no one cares about NFL players using PEDs for
- 2:40Speaker 1: whatever reason. Kind of gives you an edge. Kind of important.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Healing faster. Bigger, faster, stronger. Kind of an important thing.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Kind of a big advantage in the NFL. We don't
- 2:49Speaker 1: care for whatever. It's the dumbest thing ever. But I
- 2:53Speaker 1: would love for a player to just admit it. Just
- 2:56Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I cheated. I was dumb.
- 2:58Speaker 2: I cut corners.
- 2:59Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie to you. I totally cheated.
- 3:01Speaker 1: I would love to hear that. And if there's ever
- 3:05Speaker 1: a sport, it's football.
- 3:06Speaker 2: It's a league.
- 3:07Speaker 1: It's the NFL. For someone to say exactly that, even
- 3:10Speaker 1: a big name, and there would be a collective shrugging
- 3:14Speaker 1: of the shoulders, just like, yeah, at least he came clean, right?
- 3:18Speaker 1: They would applaud him for doing something like that. Really
- 3:21Speaker 1: wouldn't work that same way in baseball. They'd still, you know,
- 3:25Speaker 1: crush him. But in football, there was one No-name defensive
- 3:31Speaker 1: lineman for the Jets years ago, and I can't think
- 3:34Speaker 1: of his name off the top of my head, but
- 3:36Speaker 1: he did exactly that. He just owned it. I'm paraphrasing,
- 3:39Speaker 1: but he was just like, yeah, I cheated. It was dumb.
- 3:42Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but yeah, I did.
- 3:46Speaker 2: And that was it.
- 3:47Speaker 1: I would love for a big name. Whatever, Lance Armstrong
- 3:50Speaker 1: said that or Ryan Braun or any of these liars,
- 3:54Speaker 1: Rafael Palmeiro. I'd love for someone just to be like, yeah,
- 3:57Speaker 1: I was dumb. I cheated.
- 3:59Speaker 4: Sorry.
- 3:59Speaker 2: My bad.
- 4:01Speaker 1: But that rarely happens too.
- 4:02Speaker 2: All right.
- 4:04Speaker 1: 877-99 on Fox. Your number, Militia. Feel free to get
- 4:06Speaker 1: on in here. We'll have Coop Scoops coming up in about,
- 4:12Speaker 1: call it 30 minutes, about a half an hour from now.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Very much looking forward to that. Coop says it's an
- 4:17Speaker 1: extensive list. A lot of stuff going on over here, right?
- 4:21Speaker 1: We got movies. We got series movies.
- 4:25Speaker 2: We've got four movies coming out this weekend that are
- 4:28Speaker 2: of interest. Four of interest. Okay.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Be excited for this. I did mention one thing here
- 4:36Speaker 1: at the end of last hour. This is the dumbest
- 4:39Speaker 1: mistake you can make in the NFL. Do you know
- 4:44Speaker 1: what the dumbest mistake you can make in the NFL is?
- 4:48Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it is. You might have a guess.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Think of it.
- 4:52Speaker 2: What is it?
- 4:53Speaker 1: Is it a, Jaden Daniels just running out the clock
- 4:56Speaker 1: instead of getting a game winning field goal attempt. That's
- 4:59Speaker 1: pretty high on the list. That's pretty dumb. There's something
- 5:02Speaker 1: way dumber than that. The dumbest thing you can do,
- 5:08Speaker 1: the dumbest mistake you can make in the NFL is
- 5:12Speaker 1: paying a mediocre quarterback big money. That's the dumbest mistake
- 5:19Speaker 1: you can make. And I want to see if the
- 5:22Speaker 1: Denver Broncos are dumb enough to make the biggest mistake
- 5:27Speaker 1: in the NFL. Because if they pay this train wreck
- 5:33Speaker 1: known as Bo Nix big money, say bye-bye to being
- 5:39Speaker 1: relevant on any level. Bo Nix is not a reason
- 5:44Speaker 1: why the Broncos are winning games. The Broncos are winning
- 5:48Speaker 1: games in spite of Bo Nix. Bo Nix threw for
- 5:52Speaker 1: 107 yards on Thursday Night Football. He threw for like
- 5:57Speaker 1: 130 yards the week before. Right around, it was like 132.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Maybe it was 123. He might not have even gotten to.
- 6:06Speaker 1: He might not have even gotten a one. Let me
- 6:08Speaker 1: verify just to make sure here. Let's see. Old Bo.
- 6:12Speaker 1: What was it? Bo Chapman Knicks. Is that it?
- 6:14Speaker 2: Coop?
- 6:15Speaker 1: He was Chapman. Okay. Bo Knicks. Yeah. 123 against the Chargers.
- 6:21Speaker 1: 107 Thursday night football. You cannot pay that guy big money.
- 6:26Speaker 1: It's what I hear all the time is we just wins.
- 6:29Speaker 2: He wins.
- 6:30Speaker 1: And that's true. But they're oftentimes winning in spite of him.
- 6:34Speaker 1: You can't pay a guy who's mediocre big money. Trust me.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I know this as a Dolphins fan. Tuatunga-Vailoa is the
- 6:42Speaker 1: definition of mediocre. Think about this for a second. The
- 6:48Speaker 1: Dolphins in the 2023 season. You know, it doesn't seem
- 6:54Speaker 1: that long ago. We're in the 2026 season. This is
- 6:58Speaker 1: like three years ago. The Dolphins beat the Broncos 70
- 7:05Speaker 1: to 20. They beat them by 50 points. They scored
- 7:08Speaker 1: 70 points against the Broncos. Look at where those two
- 7:14Speaker 1: teams are now. The Dolphins went from scoring 70 points
- 7:19Speaker 1: and Tua leading the league in passing yards one season.
- 7:23Speaker 1: They're a grease fire. They completely dismantled that team. They
- 7:28Speaker 1: paid Tua to just go away. And they're bottoming out.
- 7:32Speaker 1: They're stripping it down to the studs and rebuilding through
- 7:34Speaker 1: the draft. They're going young, right? That's what they're doing.
- 7:38Speaker 1: That team was where the Broncos are right now. That's
- 7:44Speaker 1: a legitimate... Broncos are probably a little bit ahead. They're
- 7:46Speaker 1: probably a little bit ahead. They were just in the
- 7:49Speaker 1: AFC Championship game, so they're ahead at this stage, but comparable.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Look at the Dolphins now. That's what happens when you
- 7:57Speaker 1: pay a mediocre quarterback... big money bit Bo Nix again
- 8:03Speaker 1: the Broncos are winning in spite of his play imagine
- 8:06Speaker 1: if they have to start cutting corners when Tua was
- 8:09Speaker 1: on a rookie deal and there are other comparisons to
- 8:11Speaker 1: make it's not just a Tua thing you could come
- 8:13Speaker 1: up with a lot of quarterbacks that had success when
- 8:16Speaker 1: they're on their rookie contracts and then they got paid
- 8:19Speaker 1: and they weren't close to being worth that money and
- 8:23Speaker 1: the team bottoms out but I'll just use Tua because
- 8:26Speaker 1: he's a recent example When they paid Tua, well, before
- 8:31Speaker 1: they paid Tua, let's back up for a second. When
- 8:32Speaker 1: he's on a rookie deal. Like they're going out and
- 8:35Speaker 1: getting dudes. It's like, we already have Jalen Waddle. Let's
- 8:39Speaker 1: go out and get Tyreek Hill. Let's get a pass rush.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Let's get a secondary guy. Let's get a corner. Let's
- 8:45Speaker 1: pay this guy. Let's pay that guy. There's paying all
- 8:48Speaker 1: these dudes. Then all of a sudden they pay Tua
- 8:51Speaker 1: and they're just getting rid of dudes. That's what happens.
- 8:54Speaker 1: You have to cut corners with the rest of the
- 8:56Speaker 1: roster and Tua isn't good enough to compensate for those deficiencies.
- 9:01Speaker 1: That's what it is with Bo Nix.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think they're a lot more ahead of
- 9:06Speaker 2: where they were in that situation with Tua. First of all,
- 9:11Speaker 2: because they didn't extend Tua until after his fifth year, right?
- 9:18Speaker 2: They did the fifth year option on his rookie deal
- 9:22Speaker 2: and then they signed him to the extension. This is
- 9:26Speaker 2: only Bo Nix's third year. So you have some time
- 9:32Speaker 2: before you decide whether or not you're going to sign
- 9:35Speaker 2: him to, to a deal.
- 9:37Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, they should decide immediately. No,
- 9:40Speaker 1: they should not.
- 9:41Speaker 2: They should not decide immediately. That's, that's insane to me.
- 9:46Speaker 2: You can't, when you were on the quarterback carousel for
- 9:49Speaker 2: a decade, losing games, and then you have a player
- 9:52Speaker 2: come in and you make it to the AFC championship
- 9:55Speaker 2: in his second year on.
- 9:56Speaker 1: A rookie deal on a rookie deal.
- 9:58Speaker 4: Coop.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Yes, and he's still going to be on that rookie
- 10:01Speaker 2: deal for another couple years.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Well, that's fine. I mean, you can keep him. As
- 10:05Speaker 1: long as you can prolong it and kick the can
- 10:07Speaker 1: down the road and keep him as cheap as possible,
- 10:10Speaker 1: I have no issue with that.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Sure, but what if he balls out next year?
- 10:16Speaker 1: Coop, what if Dua Lipa breaks up with her husband
- 10:20Speaker 1: and we bump into each other at LAX on Tuesday?
- 10:23Speaker 2: This is why your dismissiveness is unwarranted. Because watching the
- 10:30Speaker 2: games this season, it's not the same player as previously.
- 10:36Speaker 2: He's not showing any of what he's shown. And he
- 10:41Speaker 2: was good last year. He was actually making plays. He
- 10:46Speaker 2: wasn't scared. He was he was using his legs to
- 10:48Speaker 2: make plays and he's coming off a broken ankle in January.
- 10:54Speaker 2: So is it not plausible to say that maybe he's
- 10:58Speaker 2: not 100 percent? He's not playing his best because he's
- 11:02Speaker 2: hesitant and and not confident in the pocket and. not
- 11:07Speaker 2: even confident to run the ball. You saw it today.
- 11:10Speaker 2: He like, he ran out of bounds. There was, there
- 11:13Speaker 2: was when he was in the red zone, there was
- 11:15Speaker 2: a play where it was like a bootleg for him to,
- 11:18Speaker 2: to go across. And he could have maybe like ran
- 11:21Speaker 2: to the corner to score there. And he didn't, he
- 11:24Speaker 2: just kind of like went out of bounds. And I
- 11:28Speaker 2: see a different player out there. Let's see. Once he
- 11:33Speaker 2: starts getting more games, he gets more healthy and, further
- 11:36Speaker 2: away from that ankle injury if he starts playing more
- 11:40Speaker 2: like he was at the end of last year.
- 11:42Speaker 1: It's a lot of ifs right there, Coop. I counted
- 11:45Speaker 1: 97 ifs in your little soliloquy right there. Not really. Okay, 47,
- 11:52Speaker 1: but who's counting, right? It's just, look, man, there's a
- 11:57Speaker 1: lot that you're hoping for that isn't realistic, right? To
- 12:02Speaker 1: be worth a big contract extension. And that's the thing.
- 12:07Speaker 1: He's not going to settle for this minuscule contract extension.
- 12:11Speaker 1: The going rate is big money for any starting quarterback.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Bo Nix started all 17 games each of his first
- 12:18Speaker 1: two seasons. He started all the games so far this season.
- 12:23Speaker 1: So he plays. He's upright. Except for the AFC title game. Unfortunately,
- 12:28Speaker 1: he got hurt the game before against the Bills. And
- 12:31Speaker 1: that sucks. But he's been very durable throughout his NFL career.
- 12:34Speaker 1: It's not as if this is like a J.J. McCarthy
- 12:37Speaker 1: type thing where he played only 10 games his rookie season.
- 12:41Speaker 1: You have this real small sample size. You've got almost
- 12:44Speaker 1: you've got 40 starts of Bo Nix in the NFL.
- 12:48Speaker 1: That's a lot.
- 12:50Speaker 2: And he's been and he's and he has set NFL records.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Okay, Coop, like what, for comeback wins? Because they stink
- 12:59Speaker 1: immediately out of the gate?
- 13:00Speaker 2: First quarterback to record 20 or more wins, 7,500 or
- 13:04Speaker 2: more passing yards, and 50 or more passing touchdowns in
- 13:06Speaker 2: their first two seasons.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Okay, but that's mostly centered on wins, right?
- 13:13Speaker 2: It's got 7,500 or more passing yards and 50 or
- 13:17Speaker 2: more passing touchdowns included in that. Those that's aren't that
- 13:20Speaker 2: centered on wins.
- 13:22Speaker 1: A lot of that is just scheming up dudes. This
- 13:24Speaker 1: is not Bo Nix dropping back. and being surgical. These
- 13:28Speaker 1: are easy reads. There's nothing that he's doing that's special. Nothing.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Zero.
- 13:34Speaker 1: And now that you're seeing this version of Bo Nix,
- 13:37Speaker 1: it's even more alarming. So I'll be as fair as possible.
- 13:41Speaker 1: You don't have to make a decision today and kick
- 13:44Speaker 1: him to the curb right now. You still have time.
- 13:47Speaker 1: He's still on his rookie deal. Yes, of course. You
- 13:49Speaker 1: don't have to make a move right now. But the
- 13:52Speaker 1: closer you get to, hey man, it's either... give them
- 13:57Speaker 1: a huge payday or move on. And moving on is
- 14:01Speaker 1: scary because the Broncos have been awful at the quarterback
- 14:05Speaker 1: position for a long, long, long time. I used to
- 14:08Speaker 1: do fill in stuff in Denver and, uh, There was
- 14:12Speaker 1: one year they had this whole promotion. Are you team
- 14:15Speaker 1: Trevor or are you team Paxton? I was like, I'm
- 14:19Speaker 1: team neither. And they're like, no, you got to choose
- 14:22Speaker 1: one of the guys. This is the whole thing. I'm like, gosh, man.
- 14:26Speaker 1: But that's just to show where it's been. It's really scary.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Look at the Dolphins. The Dolphins had no one forever.
- 14:35Speaker 1: It's like Jay Fiedler was a dude compared to a
- 14:39Speaker 1: lot of the other guys they had. And he wasn't
- 14:42Speaker 1: a dude. He just seemed more doodly because they had
- 14:44Speaker 1: a bunch of hacks. That dude's like Cleo Lemon. It's
- 14:48Speaker 1: been awful forever. since Marino. And then Tua comes along
- 14:53Speaker 1: and he leads the league in passing yards. It's like, well,
- 14:56Speaker 1: let's back up the Brinks truck for Tua. And it's like,
- 14:58Speaker 1: that's the dumbest thing you can do. He's not worth
- 15:02Speaker 1: the money and neither is Bo Nix. He's not going
- 15:05Speaker 1: to be worth it. You can give it time. You
- 15:07Speaker 1: can give it this year, the next year.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Sure. We'll see what happens. But if you, if you
- 15:11Speaker 2: ask me right now, Would I rather get on heart
- 15:15Speaker 2: meds and and grit my teeth and watch Bo Nix
- 15:19Speaker 2: do this every week? Or would I rather go back
- 15:22Speaker 2: to the days of Paxton Lynch and Brock Osweiler and and,
- 15:25Speaker 2: you know, this guy and that guy? I'd rather do
- 15:29Speaker 2: what we're doing now.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Dude, this is the thing I want you to know.
- 15:33Speaker 1: All right. And trust me, I know this from experience.
- 15:36Speaker 1: I've learned the hard way. I know you don't want
- 15:39Speaker 1: to go back to Paxton Lynch and Trevor Simeon. I
- 15:42Speaker 1: get it. But paying a mediocre quarterback big money is
- 15:49Speaker 1: even worse.
- 15:51Speaker 2: It's even worse.
- 15:52Speaker 1: You're giving a dude that can't compensate for a weaker
- 15:57Speaker 1: roster in areas huge money. You are absolutely putting yourself
- 16:03Speaker 1: behind the eight ball and screwing your future. You're totally
- 16:07Speaker 1: screwing yourself. You're better off kicking him to the curb
- 16:12Speaker 1: and going in a different direction. And I know that's
- 16:14Speaker 1: incredibly scary to do, but that's the path you got
- 16:19Speaker 1: to take. You have to take that path. And there
- 16:22Speaker 1: are so many teams that don't. They extend a guy
- 16:25Speaker 1: who's not worth it out of fear. And it blows
- 16:27Speaker 1: up in their face. It doesn't work out. They end
- 16:30Speaker 1: up paying most of it. Look at Kyler Murray. Kyler
- 16:33Speaker 1: Murray's making like a million dollars from the Vikings. The
- 16:37Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are paying the rest of that. They're just,
- 16:40Speaker 1: let them go.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Right?
- 16:42Speaker 1: Like, so yeah, it's not going to work out with Bo.
- 16:45Speaker 1: We've got a little bit of sound from Ryan Fitzpatrick.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick on Prime Video. He went in on Bo Nix. Now,
- 16:53Speaker 1: mind you, this is after a Broncos win, right? Broncos
- 16:57Speaker 1: won the game, but Bo Nix only throwing for 107 yards.
- 17:01Speaker 1: You know, situational unawareness. Like, that's the thing, Coop. Maybe
- 17:07Speaker 1: he is a little bit banged up right now, and
- 17:09Speaker 1: that's having an impact on his play. When there's a
- 17:12Speaker 1: little more than a minute to go, And you can
- 17:15Speaker 1: just slide and keep the clock running, force the Seahawks
- 17:18Speaker 1: to use their final timeout. No, he just throws a stupid,
- 17:20Speaker 1: incomplete pass. Like, what are you doing? I don't care
- 17:23Speaker 1: if you're banged up or not. Where's the situational awareness?
- 17:26Speaker 1: Here's Ryan Fitzpatrick after the Broncos win on Thursday Night
- 17:29Speaker 1: Football on Prime Video.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Bo Nix is not playing competitively.
- 17:33Speaker 8: It's almost disrespectful to the quarterback position how he's playing football.
- 17:37Speaker 2: What do you mean?
- 17:38Speaker 1: What do you mean when you see? How is he playing?
- 17:40Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, the guy doesn't want to
- 17:42Speaker 2: throw the ball. That's fine. He's throwing to the flats.
- 17:44Speaker 2: He's throwing behind.
- 17:45Speaker 8: But he has no trust from his coach.
- 17:47Speaker 2: He calls a screenplay on third and eight. Just run
- 17:50Speaker 2: up and let the clock keep going. What does he do?
- 17:52Speaker 2: He throws it away. Seattle gets the ball.
- 17:54Speaker 8: They have a timeout. And then in overtime, he's got
- 17:56Speaker 8: two chances to be competitive. The last one being a
- 17:59Speaker 8: designed run for him. to run make somebody miss and
- 18:03Speaker 8: get a first down for your football team now they're
- 18:06Speaker 8: in the locker room right now they're excited they won he's.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Not playing competitive football right now you.
- 18:12Speaker 9: Are playing competitive broadcasting i love it look if you're
- 18:17Speaker 9: if i love your passion about this because if you're
- 18:19Speaker 9: this fired up and you're not on this team or
- 18:21Speaker 9: you're not one of these fans i can only imagine
- 18:23Speaker 9: how they feel.
- 18:24Speaker 8: I can only imagine how sean payton feels I mean,
- 18:26Speaker 8: Sean Payton, Davis Webb, everybody that blocks for him, he's
- 18:30Speaker 8: not competing right now. And that's something that he's hung
- 18:33Speaker 8: his hat on for the last two years. I don't
- 18:35Speaker 8: know if he's still injured and I don't know what's
- 18:37Speaker 8: going on, but it's.
- 18:38Speaker 2: Not good enough. It's effort. Wow. There he is.
- 18:41Speaker 1: There's Fitz magic crushing Bo Nix. And he went on
- 18:45Speaker 1: later on in that whole post-game show. He was saying
- 18:49Speaker 1: that it's, I'm paraphrasing, but along the lines, he was like,
- 18:53Speaker 1: it's an honor to play, to be a starting quarterback
- 18:56Speaker 1: in the NFL. And Bo Nix is taking that for granted,
- 19:01Speaker 1: is what he was saying. So whether you agree with
- 19:02Speaker 1: that or not, but that's Fitzmagic. And you can't knock...
- 19:07Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick in terms of you can knock his numbers and,
- 19:10Speaker 1: you know, turning the ball over. There are plenty of
- 19:12Speaker 1: things you can knock on his game, but you can't
- 19:15Speaker 1: knock his just competitiveness. And so when he's talking about
- 19:19Speaker 1: Bo Nix's lack of competitiveness, he can absolutely speak on that.
- 19:24Speaker 1: And that's what you're seeing right now. It's just a
- 19:27Speaker 1: bad product. Got to be way better. We're talking extension.
- 19:31Speaker 1: This is like a bad girlfriend talking about marriage, right?
- 19:36Speaker 1: Like she's just a disaster. She's doing all these things wrong.
- 19:40Speaker 1: And she's like, where's the ring? It's like, where's the ring?
- 19:44Speaker 1: Nowhere is where the ring is at, right? Like Bo
- 19:47Speaker 1: Nix to get a huge contract extension playing like this
- 19:50Speaker 1: no dude you gotta step your game way up I
- 19:53Speaker 1: don't care what the quarterback carousel has been like before
- 19:56Speaker 1: him it's not worth it man it is not worth
- 19:59Speaker 1: it to pay a guy who can't produce on the
- 20:02Speaker 1: level he's getting paid at it's never gonna work out
- 20:05Speaker 1: it never has for any team you gotta cut corners
- 20:09Speaker 1: And you can't have a guy that's being brought along
- 20:14Speaker 1: by the rest of the team when the rest of
- 20:15Speaker 1: the team is weaker because he's making more than he should.
- 20:19Speaker 1: It's just simple math, man. It's a math game. Hard
- 20:22Speaker 1: salary cap, got to make hard decisions. And you can't
- 20:24Speaker 1: pay mediocre dudes big money. That's the bottom line. All right,
- 20:27Speaker 1: we got Koops Koops coming up pretty soon here in
- 20:31Speaker 1: just about 15 minutes. We'll get to that. Very much
- 20:34Speaker 1: looking forward to that. 877-99 on Fox is your number.

- 21:02Speaker 1: a bunch of Broncos, Broncos. Just fired up, happy as
- 21:07Speaker 1: can be. Very funny. We'll get back to a horrible,

- 22:26Speaker 1: All right, let's see. We're talking some college football here
- 22:30Speaker 1: real fast. I like this. Let's see. DJ Delingham. Okay,
- 22:36Speaker 1: let's get it. DJ Delingham. Deliham, my bad, in Kansas.
- 22:41Speaker 1: Let's talk college ball. What's going on, DJ? What's up?
- 22:44Speaker 4: Hey, what's up, you guys? Good morning to you guys.
- 22:46Speaker 4: I just want to say thank you. You guys are
- 22:48Speaker 4: real knowledgeable. Let me just say a couple of quick
- 22:52Speaker 4: three things. One, it's not the Las Vegas Raiders. It's
- 22:56Speaker 4: the Oakland Raiders. I'm from Oakland.
- 22:58Speaker 7: I know Jack Tatum and all the rest of the guys.
- 23:02Speaker 7: But anyway, just real.
- 23:04Speaker 4: Quick, the college football, what in the world are they doing?
- 23:08Speaker 7: Why are they doing this?
- 23:10Speaker 4: It's like, look, stick it to where it's supposed to be.
- 23:12Speaker 7: And that's it.
- 23:13Speaker 1: That's all.
- 23:13Speaker 7: 24 teams. Are they sick?
- 23:16Speaker 2: They must be.
- 23:18Speaker 7: Now, when mama or when Baba, wherever his name is,
- 23:26Speaker 7: can he take his happy hips and learn the hook
- 23:30Speaker 7: shot from Kareem? I do the ball. The boy is
- 23:33Speaker 7: like 12 foot, nine feet tall, whatever. Can he please
- 23:37Speaker 7: learn to hook shot?
- 23:38Speaker 4: He's good.
- 23:38Speaker 7: If he can shoot a ball from outside the lane,
- 23:42Speaker 7: take him down there, because Kareem hook shot never been
- 23:45Speaker 7: blocked since I've been watching since I was a kid.
- 23:47Speaker 7: I'm 64 years old. So if he can take his
- 23:50Speaker 7: hips down there and learn to hook shot, he'd be awesome.
- 23:54Speaker 7: Then he will have a roundabout game.
- 23:57Speaker 4: That's all I need to say. All right.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Appreciate it, DJ. Yeah, you know, listen, I put it
- 24:04Speaker 1: this way. I hear you. If he developed a Kareem
- 24:10Speaker 1: hook shot, easier said than done. I just think Wemby
- 24:13Speaker 1: in today's game, he's better suited shooting threes. You know,
- 24:19Speaker 1: I'm not saying just to live out there, but he's
- 24:22Speaker 1: going to be better fine tuning that than trying to
- 24:27Speaker 1: develop a Kareem hook shot. In my opinion, he's not
- 24:30Speaker 1: going to be a back to the basket, you know,
- 24:33Speaker 1: hakeem the dream uh patrick ewing he's not gonna be
- 24:37Speaker 1: that he's too slight to do things like that he's
- 24:41Speaker 1: not gonna back guys down i i get the point
- 24:44Speaker 1: hook shot yeah in a perfect world but look man
- 24:48Speaker 1: i don't think that's that's probably gonna happen you could
- 24:51Speaker 1: say that all day you could say like if um
- 24:54Speaker 1: hey if dwight howard just developed a move it's like
- 24:57Speaker 1: well that's not what dwight howard does he's limited But
- 25:01Speaker 1: Wemby's a freak, man. Wemby's the alien.
- 25:03Speaker 2: I think it'd be.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Better just fine-tuning his shooting and being more deadly that
- 25:07Speaker 1: way than developing a brand-new shot. But listen, I get it.
- 25:12Speaker 1: Let's sneak in one more. Corey's in Vegas talking college ball.
- 25:16Speaker 1: What's going on, Corey? Yeah, this 2014 playoff format is garbage, man.
- 25:19Speaker 1: What do you think about this or anything else, college football?
- 25:22Speaker 5: Oh, I think so. But let me say thanks for
- 25:25Speaker 5: being on tonight, Brian. I had to do a down-and-back
- 25:27Speaker 5: to take my daughter back to school today to L.A.,
- 25:30Speaker 5: made the drive much more pleasurable for me. I appreciate it.
- 25:33Speaker 1: Very cool, man. Yeah, thank you for that.
- 25:36Speaker 5: Yeah, now this 2014 playoff, you know, I originally, you know,
- 25:40Speaker 5: was not keen on 12 because they went from 4
- 25:44Speaker 5: to 12. I thought 8 was the right number because
- 25:47Speaker 5: we really, realistically only have a handful of teams that
- 25:50Speaker 5: legitimately every year could win a title. 24 is way
- 25:54Speaker 5: too much. It's trash truck juice, buddy. Trash truck juice.
- 25:59Speaker 4: It's... Yeah, it's bad.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, Matt. Yeah, I hear you. I appreciate you.
- 26:05Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. It's one of these deals where I
- 26:08Speaker 1: just think back to last year's playoff. It doesn't mean
- 26:11Speaker 1: it's going to play out the same way every single year.
- 26:13Speaker 1: I get that. But think about a couple of the
- 26:16Speaker 1: G6 schools that just got roasted. Remember, James Madison got
- 26:21Speaker 1: crushed by Oregon. It's not even competitive. It's like, okay,
- 26:25Speaker 1: so you realistically think a G6 team is going to
- 26:28Speaker 1: do damage? No, it's not going to happen. Tulane got killed.
- 26:34Speaker 1: And that's not just G6. Like some of the lower
- 26:38Speaker 1: power four schools, to have a run in a 2014
- 26:42Speaker 1: playoff to win a championship, it's not realistic at all.
- 26:47Speaker 1: So this is just dumb. All this is doing is
- 26:51Speaker 1: wrecking the regular season.
- 26:53Speaker 2: That's it.
- 26:54Speaker 1: It's wrecking the regular season for double the playoff field
- 27:00Speaker 1: when the doubling of that playoff field is just prolonging
- 27:05Speaker 1: the playoffs and those teams that sneak in aren't capable
- 27:08Speaker 1: of winning a championship anyway. It's totally dumb. And that's
- 27:11Speaker 1: me as a Notre Dame diehard football team who had
- 27:16Speaker 1: to watch my Irish get bubbled. You know, when you
- 27:19Speaker 1: play in a poker tournament and you're the bubble boy,
- 27:22Speaker 1: you're the first person that didn't cash. Sorry, you're the
- 27:27Speaker 1: last person like right before the payout.
- 27:30Speaker 6: Right.
- 27:30Speaker 1: And you don't get anything. That was Notre Dame last
- 27:33Speaker 1: season and it sucked. But I would much rather have
- 27:36Speaker 1: only 12 teams in the playoff and my Irish get
- 27:39Speaker 1: their hearts ripped out. and have an exclusive field more
- 27:43Speaker 1: so than doubling it and going to 24. It's just terrible, man.
- 27:46Speaker 1: You shouldn't lose three games and be easily in the playoff.
- 27:50Speaker 1: It just shouldn't be a thing in college football. Unfortunately,
- 27:52Speaker 1: it is. Oh, we got Coop Scoops. And first we
- 27:56Speaker 1: got Marcel with the tremendous introduction that he does. Does
- 28:00Speaker 1: a fantastic job. What's going on here, Marcel?
- 28:03Speaker 6: Oh, yes. My birthday is on Sunday. It's going to
- 28:06Speaker 6: be just two days away. I have birthday Eve for
- 28:09Speaker 6: tomorrow and I'm going to be turning from 32 to
- 28:13Speaker 6: 33 years old.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Wow.
- 28:15Speaker 6: You believe that?
- 28:16Speaker 1: Happy birthday in advance here, Marcel. Congratulations to you. Very nice.
- 28:20Speaker 6: Thank you very much, and I was beating Mike the
- 28:24Speaker 6: Idiotcon in a verbal octagon back on Hump Day Wednesday.
- 28:27Speaker 6: For those of you who are listening, I'm the winner.
- 28:30Speaker 6: Mike is definitely a terrifying loser.
- 28:34Speaker 2: Yeah, you tell him, Marcel.
- 28:35Speaker 6: Get used to it.
- 28:37Speaker 1: There you go.
- 28:38Speaker 6: I know you love Mike D. No good con for you,
- 28:42Speaker 6: but good job by him. Or not a good job
- 28:45Speaker 6: by him, but actually a bad job by him as well.
- 28:49Speaker 6: But this one's for you, buddy. So happy birthday to me.
- 28:52Speaker 6: 33 is on Sunday. And yours, Coop Scoop on Entertainment,
- 28:56Speaker 6: the Friday tradition, away for Hollywood. So it's right now.
- 29:00Speaker 6: And here is none other than Justin Cooper, a Bronco
- 29:04Speaker 6: fan on X.
- 29:05Speaker 7: All yours.
- 29:06Speaker 2: Thank you, Marcel. And happy early birthday. All right. We
- 29:12Speaker 2: have a lot to get to here on Scoop on Entertainment.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Extensive list. Yes. It's a bunch of stuff. So I'm
- 29:18Speaker 2: going to. I'm going to try and go, you know,
- 29:20Speaker 2: extra quick here. We start off in the theaters like
- 29:24Speaker 2: we always do here on Coop Scoop on Entertainment.
- 29:26Speaker 7: Really?
- 29:27Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Never a series, huh? Always a movie.
- 29:29Speaker 2: No, we start off in the theaters. And this weekend
- 29:32Speaker 2: we got four movies that I want to point out. First,
- 29:35Speaker 2: we're going to start off with Street Fighter. Yes, the
- 29:39Speaker 2: video game. another video game turned movie. A lot of
- 29:43Speaker 2: big Street Fighter fans out there. And as you would expect,
- 29:46Speaker 2: the critics think this is kind of meh, but the
- 29:49Speaker 2: fans love it. And, you know, that's kind of all
- 29:52Speaker 2: that matters when it comes to these type of movies.
- 29:54Speaker 2: So just some big names that are in this movie.
- 29:58Speaker 2: You've got Jason Momoa. You've got 50 Cent. Oh, okay.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Our guy Curtis.
- 30:03Speaker 2: That's right.
- 30:03Speaker 1: All right.
- 30:04Speaker 2: You got Roman Reigns of WWE fame.
- 30:08Speaker 1: Can you tell Roman Reigns and Momoa apart? Yes.
- 30:12Speaker 2: Easily? Yeah.
- 30:15Speaker 1: What if they dress the same?
- 30:17Speaker 2: I think I would be able to, just because I
- 30:18Speaker 2: know Jason Momoa so well. I don't know Roman Reigns
- 30:22Speaker 2: that well, because he was after my time watching WWE. Wow, man. Okay.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Out of the game.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Yeah, basically, this is the synopsis we got for you.
- 30:32Speaker 2: Estranged Street Fighters Ryu and Ken Masters get thrown back
- 30:36Speaker 2: into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li recruits them for the
- 30:39Speaker 2: next World Warrior Tournament. A brutal clash of fists, fate,
- 30:43Speaker 2: and fury.
- 30:43Speaker 4: Oof.
- 30:45Speaker 1: Sounds intense. And a ridiculous popcorn bucket to go with.
- 30:48Speaker 2: That's right. That's right. The hat popcorn bucket. The hair.
- 30:51Speaker 2: It's like the hair. The hair popcorn bucket. It's the
- 30:52Speaker 2: hair of one of the characters.
- 30:53Speaker 3: I like it.
- 30:54Speaker 1: You can wear it.
- 30:55Speaker 2: All right.
- 30:56Speaker 1: You can wear the popcorn bucket. Yes, on your head.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 30:59Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 30:59Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. Also out this weekend in theaters right now
- 31:03Speaker 2: is Whale Fall. That looks so bad. Yes, I'm excited
- 31:08Speaker 2: about this one. It looks great. It does look great.
- 31:10Speaker 2: And you know what? The critics are liking it as well.
- 31:13Speaker 7: Really?
- 31:14Speaker 2: Yes, so far it's got a 70% on Rotten Tomatoes.
- 31:16Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Following the death of his father, Jay Gardner dives off
- 31:21Speaker 2: California's central coast in search of his remains. only to
- 31:24Speaker 2: be swallowed by a massive sperm whale trapped inside with
- 31:28Speaker 2: one hour of oxygen. Jay must draw on the lessons.
- 31:31Speaker 2: His father taught him to escape. This is a whole,
- 31:35Speaker 2: you know, hour and 46 minute movie. from the inside
- 31:40Speaker 2: of a whale. How do they do it? I don't know,
- 31:42Speaker 2: but I'm going to find out.
- 31:43Speaker 1: You know what this reminds me of, Coop? It sort
- 31:47Speaker 1: of reminds me, if you told me the plot of
- 31:49Speaker 1: the movie Fall, remember they climbed that huge tower?
- 31:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked that movie.
- 31:53Speaker 1: If you just told me the plot, I'd be like,
- 31:55Speaker 1: that sounds so dumb. It was actually pretty good, right?
- 31:58Speaker 1: Sweaty palms, the whole thing. Maybe this movie will be
- 32:01Speaker 1: like that, but it sounds dumb as hell.
- 32:05Speaker 2: This one stars Austin Abrams in the main role, Josh Brolin.
- 32:09Speaker 2: I'm assuming as the father. There's got to be like flashbacks, obviously.
- 32:13Speaker 2: That's got to fill the time. And Elizabeth's shoe as well.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Moving on to the next thing. I'm going to make
- 32:21Speaker 2: this one real quick. Every now and then I like
- 32:23Speaker 2: to point out like a movie that, you know, those
- 32:26Speaker 2: listening can bring their wives to, you know.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Oh, nice of you.
- 32:29Speaker 2: Yeah. Sense and Sensibility. It's the Jane Austen.
- 32:34Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 32:36Speaker 2: You know, make a happy wife, happy life, right?
- 32:39Speaker 6: Wow.
- 32:42Speaker 2: Critics like it. You're, you know. Significant other probably will
- 32:46Speaker 2: as well. So check that out. That's in theaters this weekend.
- 32:48Speaker 2: And then last but not least in theaters, we've got
- 32:51Speaker 2: You Can See Everything. Now, this one's another one I'm
- 32:54Speaker 2: really excited about. This is the I guess it's a documentary,
- 32:59Speaker 2: I guess so. So it's about Elizabeth Holmes, the Silicon
- 33:04Speaker 2: Valley founder who was like a fraud and went to jail. Apparently,
- 33:08Speaker 2: this is just a bizarre movie. So 34 days before
- 33:11Speaker 2: she's sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes
- 33:14Speaker 2: invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move.
- 33:17Speaker 2: What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon
- 33:21Speaker 2: becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss. That's what
- 33:25Speaker 2: the synopsis says. And so far, this has got 100%
- 33:28Speaker 2: on Rotten Tomatoes from the critics.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Nothing gets 100%. 100% and 99% from audiences.
- 33:33Speaker 6: Yes.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Yes, this one. This is the movie to see this weekend.
- 33:40Speaker 2: This is what everybody's talking about.
- 33:41Speaker 1: They need me to see this movie and I can
- 33:43Speaker 1: point something that's wrong with it. You know, I can
- 33:46Speaker 1: do that.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Well, we'll see. We'll see.
- 33:48Speaker 6: All right.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Moving on to television. I've got a lot here, too.
- 33:51Speaker 2: So the first thing I mentioned, this one, I believe,
- 33:54Speaker 2: came out last week. I missed it on last week's
- 33:57Speaker 2: Coop Scoop on Entertainment.
- 33:58Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
- 33:59Speaker 2: But I did start watching it myself. Netflix has a
- 34:02Speaker 2: new documentary on Mike Tyson. It's just called Tyson. I'm
- 34:07Speaker 2: on the last episode. I believe it's like four or
- 34:09Speaker 2: five episodes. It's pretty great. I've been hooked on it.
- 34:13Speaker 2: And I, you know, I know Tyson's story just as
- 34:16Speaker 2: a sports fan. Yeah. But I obviously wasn't, you know,
- 34:19Speaker 2: I was born in 88. So I wasn't really around
- 34:22Speaker 2: for a lot of it. I remember vividly where I
- 34:25Speaker 2: was when he bit Holyfield's ear.
- 34:28Speaker 6: Oh.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Absolutely. But, you know, that was my introduction. Personally, I
- 34:33Speaker 2: didn't know. I didn't realize how just dominant that guy was. Oh,
- 34:37Speaker 2: my God.
- 34:38Speaker 1: It was insane.
- 34:39Speaker 2: And then all this stuff with him marrying Robin Givens

- 36:10Speaker 2: of my favorite comedians. I love Norm MacDonald. It is
- 36:13Speaker 2: a Judd Apatow documentary. He doesn't really do those much,
- 36:17Speaker 2: but takes a look at the rise to fame of
- 36:22Speaker 2: Norm MacDonald. And it is constructed entirely out of archival
- 36:25Speaker 2: footage and home videos and even footage submitted to Apatow
- 36:28Speaker 2: by fans. Of Norm Macdonald. I'm definitely going to check
- 36:31Speaker 2: that one out.

- 36:32Speaker 2: And yeah, that's Coop Scoop on our team.
- 36:34Speaker 1: There you go. Where do you find time to watch

- 37:05Speaker 1: coming up next, we close it down in style. Quarterback.
- 37:10Speaker 1: Gets a little testy over here. Maybe he's getting testy
- 37:13Speaker 1: in the wrong direction. We'll have that for you. I'm

- 37:51Speaker 1: crown is yours. Yeah, so Caleb Williams, Bears quarterback, he's
- 37:56Speaker 1: a little testy. With the media for reporting that he,
- 38:01Speaker 1: you know, he was week to week with his hamstring injury.
- 38:05Speaker 1: And that's fine. But the Bears basically put that out, too.
- 38:10Speaker 1: So I don't know why he isn't mad at his
- 38:13Speaker 1: own team. Like the Bears could have done him a
- 38:16Speaker 1: big favor and just put it out there like, yeah,
- 38:18Speaker 1: hamstring injury is going to be out for three to
- 38:20Speaker 1: four games. But afterward, it was like he might not
- 38:24Speaker 1: miss a game. And so the Bears are partially responsible
- 38:28Speaker 1: for that. So I don't know why you would be
- 38:30Speaker 1: just heated at the media. Got a tweet here from
- 38:34Speaker 1: Baltimore Media Free Food. I like this. And he says,
- 38:38Speaker 1: we need more travel stories. Worst cities, best cities, best
- 38:42Speaker 1: and worst stadiums, free food, etc. It beats Thursday night
- 38:46Speaker 1: football talk.
- 38:47Speaker 8: What?
- 38:48Speaker 1: He was doing fine until that last part. That's where
- 38:50Speaker 1: I differ. But I'll tell you one thing that's relevant
- 38:54Speaker 1: right now. I did a mini baseball tour this summer.
- 39:00Speaker 1: I went to 10 different stadiums. So I only have
- 39:03Speaker 1: four more to cross off the list. And I've been
- 39:05Speaker 1: everywhere in MLB.
- 39:07Speaker 8: Very nice.
- 39:08Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Wow.
- 39:08Speaker 1: I appreciate that.
- 39:09Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 39:10Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 39:10Speaker 1: So we're getting there. Scratching it off the list there, Coop.
- 39:13Speaker 1: But the most underrated stadium in all of Major League Baseball.
- 39:19Speaker 1: I never would have believed this until I saw it
- 39:21Speaker 1: for myself. It's Tampa. It's the Tampa Bay Rays. I
- 39:27Speaker 1: always thought that place was a dump. No one goes there.
- 39:30Speaker 1: because the stadium sucks. It was awesome. It was actually
- 39:34Speaker 1: really cool. It was different. It was almost like an airport.
- 39:38Speaker 1: You know, like when you go from shop to shop
- 39:40Speaker 1: to shop at airports. like a nicer airport. That's what
- 39:44Speaker 1: it felt like. The concourse, when you walk around the stadium,
- 39:46Speaker 1: it feels like that. They put a lot of bells
- 39:49Speaker 1: and whistles. They do this stuff with lights, with the
- 39:52Speaker 1: dome up top, and they do a really good job
- 39:54Speaker 1: with the music, the presentation. I thought it was great.
- 39:57Speaker 1: I thought it was awesome. What's been the best, though?
- 40:02Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 40:03Speaker 1: Out of all of them, the absolute best? I love
- 40:05Speaker 1: the Mets. I loved Citi Field. I went there years
- 40:08Speaker 1: ago for a Yankees-Mets game.
- 40:10Speaker 2: Have you done Fenway?
- 40:11Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 40:12Speaker 1: It was cool. I mean, it's like Lambo. You know,
- 40:16Speaker 1: it's like historic. You got to go. I would put, yeah,
- 40:22Speaker 1: I'd put Tampa high on the list, though.
