- 1:18Speaker 1: Jalen Brunts and the next Oh, here's a pretty good
- 1:22Speaker 1: player there. So With that said, let's take a moment
- 1:25Speaker 1: of silence to honor what took place on nine to eleven.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Thank you that picture of Candy and I had an
- 1:42Speaker 1: opportunity to go to that memorial when we were there,
- 1:46Speaker 1: and you know, it was unbelievable. I mean, you know,
- 1:48Speaker 1: many years ago I saw the Twin Towers when I
- 1:50Speaker 1: was covering a Detroit Lions the New York Giants game
- 1:53Speaker 1: over at the old Giants Stadium in Eastward for New Jersey.
- 1:57Speaker 1: So I had a cab driver driving around, really nice
- 2:00Speaker 1: guy and took me someone of these places. But with
- 2:03Speaker 1: all due respect, you know, it's a day that we'll
- 2:07Speaker 1: live in infamy. So I'm going to ask you, Candy,
- 2:10Speaker 1: where were you on nine to eleven.
- 2:15Speaker 2: You know that there are a few dates in history
- 2:17Speaker 2: that I think are right, I kind of are that
- 2:22Speaker 2: you will remember for the rest of your life, like
- 2:24Speaker 2: where you were when someone died, like some people say,
- 2:28Speaker 2: you know, like JFK. I remember, ironically, I remember where
- 2:32Speaker 2: I was when Elvis Presley died. And then nine to eleven.
- 2:38Speaker 2: So nine to eleven, I was driving to work when
- 2:41Speaker 2: the first plane hit. I was just walking into work
- 2:47Speaker 2: when the second plane hit. I at that time worked
- 2:52Speaker 2: at the VA Credit Union, which was inside the VA Hospital,
- 2:56Speaker 2: which is on federal VA prop. We did go as
- 3:03Speaker 2: the Pentagon was hit. At that point, the VA went
- 3:07Speaker 2: into a lockdown mode, so they you know, locked down
- 3:11Speaker 2: all the doors. There was only a couple of doors
- 3:14Speaker 2: you could go in and out of at that point.
- 3:17Speaker 2: I'll never forget one of my customers that worked in
- 3:21Speaker 2: the hospital there came down and she was she was
- 3:25Speaker 2: kind of and I hate to say this, but she
- 3:27Speaker 2: was kind of a mess. And I asked her what
- 3:30Speaker 2: was wrong, and she's like, I can't get a hold
- 3:33Speaker 2: of my sister. And my sister works at the Pentagon.
- 3:36Speaker 2: I don't know what, you know, where she is. I
- 3:39Speaker 2: don't know if she's okay. And you would hear these
- 3:42Speaker 2: stories people coming in and talking about them and life
- 3:47Speaker 2: at the at the VA changed from that point on,
- 3:50Speaker 2: like they closed down a lot of the entrances and
- 3:55Speaker 2: going into the building into the hospital for weeks, we
- 3:59Speaker 2: had to go through them, the metal detectors. The first
- 4:02Speaker 2: couple of days, they even searched I'll never forget they
- 4:05Speaker 2: searched my lunch bag when I brought my lunch to work.
- 4:08Speaker 2: But they searched everything because they were afraid. They didn't
- 4:11Speaker 2: know if there were more people out there going to
- 4:14Speaker 2: do harm to anybody that worked for the government or
- 4:17Speaker 2: that was in the military. They didn't know if there
- 4:20Speaker 2: was more targets, you know, So it was surreal, I
- 4:26Speaker 2: would say most people at the time, it almost like
- 4:31Speaker 2: things stopped and we all were affixiated on the TV
- 4:35Speaker 2: and watching all of the events and everything that was happening.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I mean, I remember the news people they were broadcasting
- 4:43Speaker 2: the whole time, like the whole day, like they they
- 4:46Speaker 2: hardly broke. They didn't go back to regular programming for
- 4:49Speaker 2: the longest time. And I mean, it was a sad
- 4:54Speaker 2: said day. And I can honestly say now I worked
- 4:57Speaker 2: for a bank that was inside the tower. I have
- 5:01Speaker 2: talked to people that were in the towers when this happened,
- 5:06Speaker 2: and I talked to one of my friends who her
- 5:11Speaker 2: neighbor was one of the firemen that lost his life
- 5:15Speaker 2: in nine to eleven, And it's just sad. It's just sad.
- 5:19Speaker 2: And what I miss most, and I hate to say this,
- 5:23Speaker 2: I miss nine to twelve because I missed the way
- 5:26Speaker 2: the country came together and we acted together and we
- 5:30Speaker 2: were all proud to be Americans. You know, we showed
- 5:33Speaker 2: our support and our patriotism and we've lost that again
- 5:38Speaker 2: and that is unfortunate and of the lives. But yes, I.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Think that could be attributed to the president. Was at
- 5:45Speaker 1: George W. Bush. Yeah, George W. Bush, who really brought
- 5:50Speaker 1: a sense of calumnist to us. So good story, Candy.
- 5:53Speaker 1: What about you, George?
- 5:55Speaker 4: Well, I was an employee at IBM M and Southfield.
- 6:01Speaker 4: We had a nice, nice tower, you know, thirteen floors,
- 6:06Speaker 4: I think it was. Ironically, my car was in the shop,
- 6:10Speaker 4: so I had a co worker was picking me up
- 6:13Speaker 4: at my house to take I'm sorry, I took the
- 6:17Speaker 4: car to the dealer and John was coming to pick
- 6:20Speaker 4: me up then to take to take him and I
- 6:23Speaker 4: to work because we both worked there. So they rode
- 6:27Speaker 4: up the they wrote up the order to have my
- 6:29Speaker 4: car fixed. I went out, got into John's car. He
- 6:32Speaker 4: had a music radio station on an FM station he
- 6:37Speaker 4: didn't have on an all talk station, and they were
- 6:40Speaker 4: playing music and then all of a sudden they interrupted
- 6:43Speaker 4: with this bulletin that you know, the first tower had
- 6:48Speaker 4: been hit. And we're sitting at each other and looking
- 6:51Speaker 4: at each other and We're trying to drive to Southfield
- 6:53Speaker 4: from Warren Center Line this area on the east side,
- 6:57Speaker 4: and we just couldn't believe it. I mean, we left
- 7:00Speaker 4: the station on and the news drift cutting worse and worse.
- 7:04Speaker 4: We only had like a twenty minute drive to get
- 7:06Speaker 4: to get to Southfield, but we just shook our heads.
- 7:09Speaker 4: We couldn't belave. Well. When we got into IBM, of course,
- 7:12Speaker 4: everybody was upset and up in arms because we're talking
- 7:16Speaker 4: about the tallest, one of the tallest buildings in Southfield,
- 7:19Speaker 4: you guys may remember, at the corner of nine mile
- 7:21Speaker 4: and in the Southfield Freeway IBM Tower. And so they
- 7:26Speaker 4: put television sets on and then I think it was
- 7:30Speaker 4: about it might have been ten o'clock or ten fifteen
- 7:34Speaker 4: or something. They sent a memo out to all the employees.
- 7:37Speaker 4: If you do not feel comfortable, you do not feel
- 7:39Speaker 4: like working today, you have the right to leave the
- 7:42Speaker 4: office immediately. I stayed around a little bit longer than that, unfortunately,
- 7:49Speaker 4: to watch the you know, the sadness so that the
- 7:52Speaker 4: second tower being hit and you know, the terrible fireball
- 7:56Speaker 4: and just it was just horrible.
- 7:59Speaker 3: It was just horrible.
- 8:00Speaker 4: But they put on a couple of TVs for us,
- 8:02Speaker 4: and uh, most people decided to just you know, go
- 8:05Speaker 4: home and be with their family. And I left about
- 8:07Speaker 4: new and uh but that was Yeah, that was where
- 8:11Speaker 4: I was. I went to work for half a day,
- 8:12Speaker 4: but my heart certainly wasn't in it at all.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Did Joe on to you?
- 8:19Speaker 3: So I was actually in New York City, in Brooklyn, Wow,
- 8:24Speaker 3: in Cony. It was primary day. We were up all
- 8:28Speaker 3: night working on the campaign. And my friend calls me
- 8:34Speaker 3: because I was going to pick him up to go
- 8:35Speaker 3: get breakfast, and he goes a play just hit the
- 8:38Speaker 3: World Trade Center. And my question straight out was was
- 8:44Speaker 3: it one or two? But what if it's one, it's
- 8:46Speaker 3: an accident. If it's two, I'll be there two minutes.
- 8:50Speaker 3: That was just one, that's probably just an accident, No
- 8:53Speaker 3: big deal. All right, I'll see you like five minutes.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Hag up the phone. I get a call. Two minutes later,
- 8:59Speaker 3: another plate hit the other tower, so I raced to
- 9:02Speaker 3: pick him up. And I was fortunate because everybody I
- 9:06Speaker 3: knew that was important to me was in my apartment
- 9:10Speaker 3: that day, So I was lucky in that respect. All
- 9:14Speaker 3: my friends and family were pretty much all there, although
- 9:18Speaker 3: someone that did vote for me before they headed to
- 9:20Speaker 3: work or the World Trade Center passed away that day,
- 9:24Speaker 3: you know, and it's weird. I don't know who it was.
- 9:26Speaker 3: My father knew the man, and my mother knew the man,
- 9:29Speaker 3: but I, you know, for the life of me, have
- 9:31Speaker 3: no clue who he was, you know, And I heard
- 9:33Speaker 3: the story throughout that week, and I remember sitting there
- 9:38Speaker 3: watching the TV, and you know, everything that's going on,
- 9:43Speaker 3: because when you prepare for months for an election and
- 9:46Speaker 3: you're doing everything, and you know, all of a sudden,
- 9:48Speaker 3: this happens. There's no playbook for this, and what happens
- 9:52Speaker 3: with the election means nothing, you know. So we're sitting
- 9:55Speaker 3: there and we're just having a conversation. You know. One
- 9:58Speaker 3: of the guys that there, his brother was on an
- 10:02Speaker 3: express bus to Manhattan. He was very concerned, which I understood.
- 10:06Speaker 3: You know. We're trying to figure out what we're supposed
- 10:08Speaker 3: to do next because we have no clue, you know.
- 10:12Speaker 3: And you know, I'm not letting anyone leave at this
- 10:15Speaker 3: point because I don't know what's happening, and I'm not
- 10:19Speaker 3: going to put anybody in harm's way. At least if
- 10:21Speaker 3: they're with me, I know they're safe. You know, and
- 10:24Speaker 3: we all just stayed for a while. And like KNDy said,
- 10:28Speaker 3: the only thing that was positive about the whole thing was,
- 10:33Speaker 3: you know that pretty much the day after, everybody was
- 10:36Speaker 3: we came together as one. I actually posted that on
- 10:39Speaker 3: Facebook Twitter elated today. You know, as we remember the
- 10:43Speaker 3: events of nine to eleven, it was horrible, it was disgusting,
- 10:47Speaker 3: But at the same time, you know, the we all
- 10:51Speaker 3: came together as just Americans. It didn't matter your skin color,
- 10:57Speaker 3: your political race, your political part already, your race, your religion, anything.
- 11:03Speaker 3: We just came together. Everybody was supportive of everybody. It
- 11:08Speaker 3: was probably the nicest thing of the world. And it's
- 11:10Speaker 3: a shame, you know. Listen, I was not offit at
- 11:15Speaker 3: George W.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Bush.
- 11:16Speaker 3: I didn't like the man. He did a great job
- 11:19Speaker 3: in that particular situation of keeping the country together, staying calm,
- 11:25Speaker 3: you know, and listen, that's what a leader is supposed
- 11:28Speaker 3: to do. You know. Anybody can leave when things are good,
- 11:32Speaker 3: you know, but when things are bad and catastrophic, how
- 11:36Speaker 3: you lead says a lot about you. And you know,
- 11:39Speaker 3: I give him a lot of credit for just his
- 11:41Speaker 3: leadership skills. You Everyone likes to make fun of George W.
- 11:45Speaker 3: Bush about you know, we not the most intelligent, this
- 11:48Speaker 3: that the other. You know what, what it came down
- 11:50Speaker 3: to when the chips were on the table, he just
- 11:53Speaker 3: went out there, he led, He did what he had
- 11:55Speaker 3: to do. And I have a lot of respect for
- 11:59Speaker 3: the men for that. Whether I agree with his political
- 12:01Speaker 3: policies or not, that that's irrelevant, because you can always
- 12:04Speaker 3: talk about that. But who is as a person? You know,
- 12:08Speaker 3: I was. I was proud that he was president that day.
- 12:12Speaker 1: All right, as far as I'm concerned. As I mentioned before,
- 12:15Speaker 1: I lived in Arizona. But here's the thing. I was
- 12:17Speaker 1: leaving my apartment to go to my attorney's office because
- 12:21Speaker 1: at that time I was getting a divorce. So I'm
- 12:25Speaker 1: driving down the freeway field go to my attorney's office,
- 12:30Speaker 1: and he told me about it. I said, well, don't
- 12:33Speaker 1: you watch the news. His name was Harry Kwood, by
- 12:36Speaker 1: the way, He worked out a MESA And he said, well, Harry,
- 12:40Speaker 1: here's the thing. I was coming to see you, So
- 12:42Speaker 1: if I didn't watch the news because of you, I
- 12:45Speaker 1: had an appointment with you. And he told me about
- 12:48Speaker 1: what happened. It was unfortunate for sure. Now as I
- 12:52Speaker 1: speed the clock up a little with this. Okay, the
- 12:55Speaker 1: New York Yankees would proceed to go to the World Series,
- 13:00Speaker 1: and who was the opponent the Arizona Diamondbacks. So now
- 13:06Speaker 1: we got a situation where everybody, I don't know if
- 13:09Speaker 1: the Boston Red Soisher rooms the eche maybe they were,
- 13:12Speaker 1: who knows, was root for the Yankees. And I'm actually
- 13:15Speaker 1: a Diamondbacks guy. And that was an unbelievable World Series
- 13:20Speaker 1: for those of you that remember it back in two
- 13:22Speaker 1: thousand and one. The Diamondbacks did win it by the way,
- 13:26Speaker 1: four to three. But you know, it's like we felt
- 13:30Speaker 1: in Arizona. We were on an island of our own.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Everybody wants to root for the Yankees, and they had
- 13:37Speaker 1: every reason. We have nowly do we have the side
- 13:40Speaker 1: starts mangled banner, but you know, God bless America as well.
- 13:44Speaker 1: And now they still played that song at a lot
- 13:47Speaker 1: of major you know, and a lot of ballgames. I
- 13:50Speaker 1: don't know if they play it with other ones. So
- 13:52Speaker 1: I it was unfortunate. You know, I've been there twice.
- 13:56Speaker 1: I went with my cousin one time when they were
- 13:58Speaker 1: actually rebuilding it. You can see, you know, the holes
- 14:01Speaker 1: and a lot of the mess that took place, and then,
- 14:03Speaker 1: of course Candy and I had an opportunity to go
- 14:05Speaker 1: there about two years ago. But Joe, I'm with you
- 14:07Speaker 1: all the way. Okay. George W. Bush went out there
- 14:11Speaker 1: and stepped up at the most opportune time to do
- 14:14Speaker 1: what he had to do. But here's a little interesting
- 14:16Speaker 1: sidebar to all of that. I'm going to a Deerfield
- 14:19Speaker 1: Beach Observer Christmas party, and you know what, they had
- 14:24Speaker 1: a lot of different types of people wearing you know, lookalikes,
- 14:29Speaker 1: and there was a George W. Bush look alike. And
- 14:31Speaker 1: I did take a picture with the guy, and I'm
- 14:35Speaker 1: thinking him myself, Hey, this isn't so bad. It may
- 14:38Speaker 1: not be the real thing, but I'll take it because
- 14:41Speaker 1: especially during that time, it was definitely a moment where
- 14:47Speaker 1: he needed a great leader, and George W. Bush did
- 14:50Speaker 1: a tremendous job. Sorry, Yankees, we didn't mean to bust
- 14:53Speaker 1: your burst your bubble. But the Diamondbacks won their first
- 14:58Speaker 1: ever World Series, so iron yeah, And ironically two years later,
- 15:03Speaker 1: the Miami Marlin beat the Yankees in two thousand and three.
- 15:07Speaker 1: I had to get that Marlin plug in. But don't
- 15:09Speaker 1: feel too bad. The Yankees only a twenty seven World Series.
- 15:12Speaker 1: We'll see when twenty eighteens.
- 15:13Speaker 4: And if our if our audience hasn't seen it, go
- 15:15Speaker 4: back and YouTube and look at George W. Bush when
- 15:19Speaker 4: he threw out the honorary first pitch at that first
- 15:23Speaker 4: game back at Yankee Stadium in that World Series that
- 15:25Speaker 4: Scott just referred to because you got to absorb what
- 15:29Speaker 4: was going on in that stadium and tears almost coming
- 15:34Speaker 4: from his eye, and he threw a perfect pitch, a strike,
- 15:37Speaker 4: the crowd win bananas, The umpire shook his hands, the managers,
- 15:42Speaker 4: Joe Torrey was there.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Everybody.
- 15:43Speaker 4: You got to look that up. If you have not
- 15:45Speaker 4: seen when Bush like like like you said, Joe, no
- 15:48Speaker 4: matter what what your political persuasion was, it was just
- 15:53Speaker 4: an historic event. It was a it was a uniting
- 15:56Speaker 4: of this country. And and I'm and and I'm glad
- 15:59Speaker 4: Scott you brought that up. But the going add to
- 16:01Speaker 4: the World Series time at George.
- 16:04Speaker 3: He also had a bulletproof vest on as he threw
- 16:07Speaker 3: the pitch, which made even more difficult.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Right, while we have a little activity in the chat room,
- 16:13Speaker 1: blows twenty two is on, what's going on? We were
- 16:16Speaker 1: going on all right, blows, asked, I like that hat?
- 16:19Speaker 3: Is that?
- 16:19Speaker 1: Now? No, that's actually been on my shelf, But for
- 16:22Speaker 1: tonight I wanted to pull the red white blue out.
- 16:24Speaker 1: That's why it's making its appearance on the Big Show.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Looks like a mega hat with the red. Okay, if
- 16:29Speaker 1: you say so, pretty hardy argue with it. But yeah,
- 16:31Speaker 1: I have a lot of different color hats, and tonight
- 16:34Speaker 1: it was time to go with the red, white blue
- 16:35Speaker 1: fit stuff blows. All right, Well, you know what, we
- 16:38Speaker 1: got one more top for go to a station break.
- 16:40Speaker 1: But no question that I feel we gave this a
- 16:42Speaker 1: topic a fair amount of time. It was great to
- 16:44Speaker 1: hear the different stories from everybody as well as well.
- 16:47Speaker 1: All right, so let's talk about the least and most
- 16:49Speaker 1: efensive NFL tickets. In a week two, the LA Chargers
- 16:54Speaker 1: and Jim Harbaugh are going to the Carolina Panthers, and
- 16:57Speaker 1: the lease offensive ticket is bucks, not fare. All right? Now,
- 17:04Speaker 1: how about the New Orleans Saints that the Dallas Cowboys.
- 17:07Speaker 1: The most expensive ticket is two thousand, five hundred and
- 17:09Speaker 1: fifty eight dollars. All right, Kady, what day would you
- 17:15Speaker 1: want to go.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Five hundred and six dollars for a regular.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Season no, twenty five fifty six. Yet you forgot.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Fifty twenty five fifty six for a regular season game
- 17:28Speaker 2: for one ticket. Yeah, that's ridiculous. I'm sorry, that is
- 17:34Speaker 2: rediculous to pay that kind of money. I don't care
- 17:38Speaker 2: if you're sitting at the fifty yard line. That's too
- 17:42Speaker 2: much money for a regular season game my opinion. Of course.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Now obviously that's a cowboy stadium. The problem with those
- 17:53Speaker 2: kind of prices, and the NFL is doing this more
- 17:56Speaker 2: and more because they're getting more and more expensive, is
- 17:59Speaker 2: that you're gonna see less and less kids, less and
- 18:01Speaker 2: less families, and it's only gonna be the rich that'll go.
- 18:05Speaker 2: And then what's worse is now you're putting a lot
- 18:07Speaker 2: of these on different streaming platforms, so again you're trying
- 18:12Speaker 2: to build this this fan base, and yet families can't afford. Oh,
- 18:18Speaker 2: let me get Amazon Prime, and now let's get Peacock
- 18:20Speaker 2: and now let's get YouTube TV and this and that,
- 18:24Speaker 2: and it's like, where's it gonna end for the How
- 18:29Speaker 2: should I put the low even the middle income and
- 18:31Speaker 2: the low income people, How can they afford going to games?
- 18:36Speaker 2: Supporting this in a sport that they probably really like
- 18:40Speaker 2: or watching all these on TV. I mean, granted, I
- 18:44Speaker 2: get I get your local market, you'll get. But if
- 18:47Speaker 2: you ever move out of your market for the team
- 18:49Speaker 2: that you cover or like you're a fan of, you're
- 18:53Speaker 2: gonna it's gonna get expensive. That is why it's crazy.
- 18:58Speaker 2: I cannot I'm I was shocked when you told me
- 19:01Speaker 2: that that price for a regular season ticket.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Well, let's let's go to the chat room to blows
- 19:07Speaker 1: twenty two. I guess he likes to hand. I agree,
- 19:09Speaker 1: That's why I covered games with accounts. Okay, well, I'll
- 19:12Speaker 1: feel too bad. You won't be alone there. It's getting
- 19:14Speaker 1: out of control. No, it isn't getting out of control.
- 19:16Speaker 1: It it is out of control. All right, we'll turn
- 19:18Speaker 1: over to George Iicorny. Well, yeah, I mean, Candy's got
- 19:23Speaker 1: it right. I mean it is getting out of control.
- 19:25Speaker 1: It is out of control.
- 19:26Speaker 4: You said it right. I mean, we've got people that
- 19:31Speaker 4: have a hard time putting food on the table, as
- 19:34Speaker 4: the saying goes, and I know it's a cliche, but
- 19:36Speaker 4: there are some very difficult times going on with the
- 19:40Speaker 4: economy and with the price of food and stuff like that.
- 19:43Speaker 4: But to be able to afford the luxury. And it
- 19:46Speaker 4: is a luxury even if you're passionate. I know, it's entertainment.
- 19:51Speaker 4: People look at it a different ways. You know, sports,
- 19:55Speaker 4: A lot of people compare it to concerts. But the
- 19:57Speaker 4: fact that that is is those prices are outrageous. You
- 20:01Speaker 4: did bring up a good point too, when you mentioned
- 20:03Speaker 4: about the different streaming services and how the NFL is
- 20:07Speaker 4: has got this whole thing going now with uh with
- 20:10Speaker 4: these partners streaming partners and Peacock and Amazon and all
- 20:14Speaker 4: these places, you know, and and and you'd have to
- 20:16Speaker 4: buy this or buy that to see your team. It
- 20:19Speaker 4: is a very very expensive sport now to follow for
- 20:23Speaker 4: a lot of people. Okay, but those price those prices
- 20:27Speaker 4: are just going out of site. But again, other entertainment
- 20:31Speaker 4: value is is also going out of sight. I know that,
- 20:35Speaker 4: you know, stub Hub and places like that. I mean,
- 20:37Speaker 4: you know, the prices people. I've got guys, hey, listen,
- 20:41Speaker 4: I've got friends that years ago did nothing but buy
- 20:45Speaker 4: season tickets. And he says, oh, well, I sell every
- 20:48Speaker 4: one of them. I mark them up, you know, one
- 20:51Speaker 4: hundred percent or whatever. Fine, you know, if you could,
- 20:55Speaker 4: if you want to do something like that, and that's
- 20:57Speaker 4: your way of making a living, and he at that
- 21:00Speaker 4: money back years ago. But I'm just saying that, Yeah,
- 21:04Speaker 4: every game is sold out. Detroit's a perfect situation too.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Those prices are through the roof down because the Lions
- 21:10Speaker 4: have season tickets and individual tickets. But I mean the
- 21:12Speaker 4: whole stadium has sold off for the whole season. So yeah,
- 21:15Speaker 4: it's getting out of out of sight, Scott. And there
- 21:18Speaker 4: is still this disparaging, disparaging between you know, the average
- 21:23Speaker 4: fan and let's call them the rich fan.
- 21:26Speaker 1: Well, Georgia doesn't hurt that they're winning either, so well,
- 21:29Speaker 1: of course, of course I know I would see that
- 21:33Speaker 1: forbade them in Detroit for a while. But let me
- 21:35Speaker 1: tell you what the Detroit fans are. What they are
- 21:37Speaker 1: they they're willing to pay for it. They don't care.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Right off to Joe, go ahead, listen.
- 21:42Speaker 3: I happen to actually look to see how about it
- 21:45Speaker 3: would be next week to see the Bears play in Indianapolis.
- 21:49Speaker 3: The cheapest ticket for that was two hundred and fifty dollars. Really,
- 21:53Speaker 3: and that's in the six hundreds the stadium that has
- 21:56Speaker 3: a six hundred section. Now, I don't know about you,
- 21:59Speaker 3: but I'm not sitting in a six hundred section to
- 22:01Speaker 3: see a game that I can watch on TV. You know,
- 22:04Speaker 3: football to me is the only sport that's better on TV.
- 22:07Speaker 3: Every other sport to me in persons a million times better.
- 22:11Speaker 3: But these prices are out of hand. Good for the
- 22:15Speaker 3: good for the teams that can get the prices. The resellers,
- 22:20Speaker 3: I'm not upset with them either. You know, if someone's
- 22:23Speaker 3: willing to pay for your ticket, sell them. You know,
- 22:26Speaker 3: no reason that they should make their money. It's all good.
- 22:29Speaker 3: The only thing I would say to that is, you know,
- 22:32Speaker 3: if you really wanted to get tickets to go to
- 22:34Speaker 3: what event, you should have gotten what they want to
- 22:36Speaker 3: tell it's not their fault. But the only thing that
- 22:39Speaker 3: worries me is eventually, and you see it starting to
- 22:42Speaker 3: happen now, teams that you know, realize that these tickets
- 22:47Speaker 3: are being sold for a double, a triple a price
- 22:50Speaker 3: on these sites. They're gonna start raising their prices because
- 22:53Speaker 3: they know that they can get that. And that's the
- 22:55Speaker 3: only problem I have.
- 22:57Speaker 1: Well, here's the deal with me. Less I'm covering the game.
- 23:01Speaker 1: I'm not going period. So it's twenty five or twenty five,
- 23:04Speaker 1: fifty six or whatever, it doesn't matter. I'm not covering it.
- 23:07Speaker 1: I'm not going. I mean no more happy to go
- 23:09Speaker 1: through an NFL game in a sports bar. And I
- 23:12Speaker 1: don't mind going to our NFL events, Joe, Okay when
- 23:15Speaker 1: they're not games, right, you know we pulled that thing before.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Have there no problem with that? So and you know what,
- 23:21Speaker 1: I'm back in college. It doesn't matter. I cover the
- 23:24Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes and I'm Florida Atlantic University. Dollars in the
- 23:28Speaker 1: US have from time to time, and I'm more than
- 23:29Speaker 1: happy to be there. So it's okay. I've had my
- 23:32Speaker 1: run in the NFL. If I get an opportunity to
- 23:34Speaker 1: go to a game, I will if there's no way
- 23:37Speaker 1: finding tickets, don't have it been there, done that. But
- 23:39Speaker 1: the only thing we haven't been done yet is that
- 23:42Speaker 1: thing called the station breck. And we know the person
- 23:44Speaker 1: that's going to deliver it, right, Candy.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Sure, if you want to go to the ticket, if
- 23:48Speaker 2: you want to go to the NFL game tomorrow night
- 23:50Speaker 2: Bill's versus Dolphins, cheapest ticket right now is eighty two
- 23:54Speaker 2: dollars a seat. So in case you want to go
- 23:58Speaker 2: any use South Florida people, you can buy a ticket
- 24:02Speaker 2: eighty two dollars apiece. But the Self Florida Tribune published

- 26:03Speaker 1: guy here has made a lot of contacts on Twitter
- 26:05Speaker 1: and everywhere he goes. I know that he does a
- 26:08Speaker 1: marvelous job on LinkedIn as well. We both that's one
- 26:10Speaker 1: thing we have a jam and Ellis and I have
- 26:13Speaker 1: a lot in common. But I'll tell you one thing.
- 26:15Speaker 1: The thing that we've been able to do. And he
- 26:17Speaker 1: has a good website of his own two sideline sports
- 26:20Speaker 1: as well as which we'll get to a little bit.
- 26:22Speaker 1: So good job, Joe, keep it up. We appreciate it.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Plus we also enjoy having you every Wednesday night here
- 26:27Speaker 1: on the Big Show. All right, let's talk about a
- 26:31Speaker 1: local event in South Florida. The game is in Miami,
- 26:35Speaker 1: but in the last twelve games of Buffalo Bills are
- 26:39Speaker 1: eleven to one versus the Miami Dolphins. Miami's last win
- 26:43Speaker 1: was on September twenty fifth, twenty twenty two. They won
- 26:47Speaker 1: it twenty one to nineteen. So you know what, I'm
- 26:50Speaker 1: gonna start off with you, Joe, who do you have
- 26:52Speaker 1: tomorrow night?
- 26:54Speaker 3: It's a tough one because I mean it's Josh Allen
- 26:58Speaker 3: for the Bills and nobody else. He plays all twenty
- 27:02Speaker 3: two positions on offensive defense because the Bill's defense is atrocious.
- 27:06Speaker 3: He's the running back and they got rid of all'
- 27:08Speaker 3: his receivers. So you know, Miami unfortunately has injuries to
- 27:14Speaker 3: the two running backs, so we're gonna see if they
- 27:16Speaker 3: play or not. But overall, Miami's at home. Their offense
- 27:21Speaker 3: is really good. The Bill's defense is pitiful, and I
- 27:25Speaker 3: think Miami's defense is better, so I think overall, I
- 27:28Speaker 3: think Miami's at the point of this game. But it's
- 27:30Speaker 3: gonna be a good game to watch because division games
- 27:32Speaker 3: are always good. They know each other so well.
- 27:37Speaker 4: George, I think it's going to be an excellent game too.
- 27:40Speaker 4: The over and under is forty eight point five and
- 27:44Speaker 4: the line is Miami minus two point five. Very very
- 27:49Speaker 4: hard game to predict. Like you said, Scott, the record
- 27:53Speaker 4: is lopsided in favor of the Bills, but you know,
- 27:57Speaker 4: if they can't do anything this year, uh, and they
- 28:01Speaker 4: probably won't. Buffalo Josh Allen has just been you know,
- 28:06Speaker 4: he he just can't get it done. I mean, you know,
- 28:08Speaker 4: it's a lot like Dak Prescott. You know, they thought
- 28:11Speaker 4: they have the best quarterback in the league. All that
- 28:14Speaker 4: being said, i know it's only the second game of
- 28:15Speaker 4: this season, but I'm gonna go with Miami too. I mean,
- 28:18Speaker 4: they are at home, you know, a Thursday night game,
- 28:21Speaker 4: game of the week kind of deal, and the fans
- 28:23Speaker 4: will be obviously juiced up, the place will be rocking,
- 28:27Speaker 4: and I'm gonna it'll be close, but I'm gonna I'm
- 28:31Speaker 4: gonna say the Dolphins are gonna win this game. I
- 28:33Speaker 4: really am. I'm not a big Josh Allen fan anymore.
- 28:36Speaker 4: I used to be years ago, but they haven't proven
- 28:40Speaker 4: anything to me in the last few years.
- 28:42Speaker 1: Okay, Katy, I'm.
- 28:46Speaker 2: Gonna be the third in the consensus. I'm gonna say Miami.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Let's just hope there isn't any extra curriculars that happened
- 28:56Speaker 2: before the game, since it is happening in Miami. Miami
- 29:02Speaker 2: has I think too many weapons, even if some of
- 29:06Speaker 2: the running backs are injured, because I know most art
- 29:09Speaker 2: is out, but they do have tree kill and they
- 29:17Speaker 2: have two two has been. I mean he threw for
- 29:20Speaker 2: three hundred and thirty eight yards last week. I just
- 29:24Speaker 2: think they have more weapons. I think their defense is
- 29:28Speaker 2: coming to play. Yes, Buffalo has had their number for
- 29:32Speaker 2: many years, but I think Miami has improved over the
- 29:36Speaker 2: last couple of years, and I think the Bills are regressing.
- 29:40Speaker 4: A little bit.
- 29:42Speaker 1: Tayl, you know what, when I will go four for four,
- 29:47Speaker 1: because that's what I'm gonna do. But here's what I'm
- 29:49Speaker 1: going to give you a name, and I know that
- 29:51Speaker 1: Buffalo will miss, especially to the merrow. A guy by
- 29:53Speaker 1: the name of Stefan Diggs, who is what the Houston Texans.
- 29:58Speaker 1: We all know that two is made significant improvement under
- 30:02Speaker 1: the coaching of Mike McDaniel, Tyreek Hill. Who else do
- 30:06Speaker 1: they have? I think Jalen Waddell and they have a
- 30:09Speaker 1: bunch of other running backs, you know, So Miami's passing
- 30:13Speaker 1: game will more than make up for what the running
- 30:15Speaker 1: game can't do, probably tomorrow night. But Mike McDaniel has
- 30:22Speaker 1: found a way to make a better quarterback and I
- 30:27Speaker 1: think he uses positive reinforcement to do it. Unfortunately, Brian
- 30:30Speaker 1: Forrest wasn't able to blesh blend with Tua, but that's
- 30:36Speaker 1: old news. But Stephan Digg not being with Buffalo, I
- 30:39Speaker 1: think it's a big difference. You can't throw the football,
- 30:41Speaker 1: you get rid of too many wide receivers where you're
- 30:43Speaker 1: going to go. And you know what, I don't think
- 30:45Speaker 1: it's going to be a close game. I have a
- 30:46Speaker 1: feeling it's going to be at least get a ten
- 30:49Speaker 1: point differential in the favor of the Miami Dolphins.
- 30:53Speaker 2: But again, it's not going to be on regular TV
- 30:55Speaker 2: unless you live in one of those markets. You got
- 30:57Speaker 2: to go to Amazon Prime.
- 30:59Speaker 1: And I'm not worried about it. We got Amazon Prime,
- 31:02Speaker 1: but for the other people, I get that. Okay, Well,
- 31:05Speaker 1: you know what we're going to talk about an Olympic
- 31:07Speaker 1: note very different one, I might add, but Georgia and
- 31:09Speaker 1: I can certainly relate to this one a little bit better.
- 31:12Speaker 1: But Canada actually finished a Paaris twenty twenty four Olympics
- 31:15Speaker 1: with nine gold medals, seven silver, eleven bronze menso medals
- 31:20Speaker 1: for a total of twenty seven. Joe, I'm going to
- 31:22Speaker 1: ask you first, Okay, does that seem low for a
- 31:25Speaker 1: country like Canada, which is so wide and they have
- 31:28Speaker 1: six seventy substantial cities in there. I don't know, what
- 31:32Speaker 1: do you think?
- 31:34Speaker 3: Honestly, I have no idea when it comes to Olympic sports.
- 31:37Speaker 3: I mean, obviously the US and China are so far
- 31:41Speaker 3: ahead of everybody else. Russia used to be, but with
- 31:46Speaker 3: all the scandals and everything, don't I don't know if
- 31:50Speaker 3: there are a lots to compete anymore. I'll be honest
- 31:52Speaker 3: with you. I was out of this year's Olympics. You know,
- 31:55Speaker 3: it didn't too much to make me want to watch
- 32:00Speaker 3: tuned to it sparingly. You know, I know the Canadians
- 32:05Speaker 3: that are good at what they do always will try hard.
- 32:08Speaker 3: But you know they're going up against countries that have
- 32:12Speaker 3: more money, that invest more into it. You know, the
- 32:16Speaker 3: US Olympic uh Federation has spends a lot of money
- 32:20Speaker 3: and these athletes, you know, put a lot of time
- 32:23Speaker 3: into it. I don't know what if they're doing the
- 32:25Speaker 3: same thing in Canada. I'm not from there. I don't
- 32:28Speaker 3: go there enough to know what their regiment is for
- 32:32Speaker 3: Olympic athletes, how serious they take it. But you know,
- 32:35Speaker 3: I can tell you that, you know that whoever's there
- 32:38Speaker 3: from Canada always seems to put on a you know,
- 32:40Speaker 3: do their best. And I'm guessing that it's about right.
- 32:45Speaker 4: OK, fair enough, George, Well, yeah, we're right across the
- 32:51Speaker 4: river in Detroit from Canada. Obviously wins aroun Ontario. I
- 32:56Speaker 4: I was a bit shocked by it. I'll be honest
- 32:58Speaker 4: with you. I'm not the greatest to the tracker of
- 33:00Speaker 4: all the Olympic history, but boyle boy I followed it
- 33:05Speaker 4: pretty closely ever since I was lucky enough to go
- 33:08Speaker 4: to the nineteen to eighty Lake Plastid Games and to
- 33:12Speaker 4: see Canada with nine gold, seven silver, and eleven bronze
- 33:18Speaker 4: and only twenty seven medals twenty seven, almost one hundred
- 33:23Speaker 4: medals behind the United States, which had one hundred and
- 33:26Speaker 4: twenty six in Paris. And Joe's right, I mean China's
- 33:30Speaker 4: number two. Great Britain, Oh my gosh. The Brits did
- 33:34Speaker 4: a great job this year. They finished in third in
- 33:36Speaker 4: France was fourth. But Canada, I mean, you know, way
- 33:39Speaker 4: down the list. I was really really surprised because number one,
- 33:44Speaker 4: I know, winter sports are bigger in Canada. It's you know,
- 33:48Speaker 4: you know, probably than the summer ones. But still they
- 33:52Speaker 4: don't have a lot of things going on there. Of course,
- 33:54Speaker 4: they love soccer and they love their hockey, but they're
- 33:57Speaker 4: not as much and the CFL. I understand one NBA
- 34:02Speaker 4: team only, but the fact of the matter is is
- 34:05Speaker 4: those athletes are trained, and they're trained for all different sports.
- 34:09Speaker 4: Canada is still one of the group of seven they
- 34:12Speaker 4: call it Nations where they have these summits every year,
- 34:15Speaker 4: these leaders, and I just found it really a sad,
- 34:19Speaker 4: you know, that a great country like that was down
- 34:21Speaker 4: that far.
- 34:22Speaker 1: I was surprised, guy, Okay, that's fair enough, Okay, Candy.
- 34:27Speaker 2: I'm surprised they had twenty seven, Germany had thirty three.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Italy had forty, Korea had thirty two, Great Britain had
- 34:35Speaker 2: sixty four, Netherlands had thirty four, France said sixty four,
- 34:41Speaker 2: Japan had forty five. Some of those countries are way
- 34:46Speaker 2: smaller than Canada is. But yes, I agree with George,
- 34:54Speaker 2: like the Canadians are North, so they are more prevalent
- 34:59Speaker 2: in the Winter Games, right, But to be behind the
- 35:06Speaker 2: United States, which we had one hundred and twenty six
- 35:09Speaker 2: and they only have twenty seven, Yeah, I'm surprised. Yeah,
- 35:16Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say I'm surprised. I would have thought
- 35:19Speaker 2: they would have had way more.
- 35:20Speaker 1: But fair know, yeah, I think the number is a
- 35:23Speaker 1: little bit low to twenty seven. I you Canada if
- 35:27Speaker 1: you're going to get at least thirty five or forty,
- 35:29Speaker 1: but it wasn't that way. And of course, to origin
- 35:32Speaker 1: yourself make an important point that they're probably better to
- 35:35Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics. You know what, don't Joe Ellis, I'm
- 35:38Speaker 1: going to tell you this. The only things I actually
- 35:41Speaker 1: watched during the Summer Olympics was the men basketball team
- 35:46Speaker 1: a couple of games near the end. Otherwise I really
- 35:49Speaker 1: didn't get to locked in. I had so many other
- 35:51Speaker 1: things going as well. So, but yeah, the Winter Olympics
- 35:55Speaker 1: for sure. All right, well one more Olympic topic and
- 35:57Speaker 1: then I got one for Joe wellis so get ready,
- 35:59Speaker 1: mister l okay, you're going to carry the lead on that.
- 36:02Speaker 1: Now we're gonna do parting shots as well. To night.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Eric Spoltro is viewed as the next head coach or
- 36:07Speaker 1: Team USA if Steve Kerr retires. You know what, Katiere
- 36:11Speaker 1: gonna sturn off with you. Eric Spolst had done a
- 36:13Speaker 1: good job here with the Miami Heat, really has under
- 36:16Speaker 1: pat Riley. What do you think you think Eric Spolst
- 36:19Speaker 1: is a good choice. I do.
- 36:21Speaker 2: I think he's well liked. I think he does a
- 36:24Speaker 2: really good team. He knows how to get the talent
- 36:28Speaker 2: out of the players that he has on the court.
- 36:32Speaker 2: He's done. He's done a good job down here for
- 36:36Speaker 2: the Heat. He like I said, he's popular. And when
- 36:40Speaker 2: I and I think, when you think of a coach
- 36:43Speaker 2: for an Olympic sport like men's basketball for the USA,
- 36:49Speaker 2: you want somebody that is well liked and that can
- 36:53Speaker 2: bring the talents together. And the other thing he did is,
- 36:57Speaker 2: let's face it, there was one time when somebody announced
- 37:01Speaker 2: that they were bringing their talents to South Beach and
- 37:04Speaker 2: there was the three of them, and there was a
- 37:08Speaker 2: threesome that we're all really good players. I'm not going
- 37:12Speaker 2: to say elite. I mean some you know, obviously Lebron
- 37:15Speaker 2: came down here, but he also had to learn how
- 37:18Speaker 2: to help them with their different personalities play as a
- 37:23Speaker 2: team together. And I think especially when you go to
- 37:27Speaker 2: Olympic like the USA, you're going to get a number
- 37:30Speaker 2: of different players from a number of different teams, the
- 37:34Speaker 2: top talent, and you've got to find a way to
- 37:37Speaker 2: get them to work together as a team for the
- 37:40Speaker 2: for the goal of the good of the team. And
- 37:42Speaker 2: I think he's a candidate that can do that.
- 37:46Speaker 4: George, Yeah, I think it would be a very good move. Six.
- 37:52Speaker 4: He's fifty three years old, now, you know, two time
- 37:55Speaker 4: NBA champion, two time All Star Game coach, He's worked
- 37:59Speaker 4: with a lot of the guys and and and and
- 38:02Speaker 4: done a great job down in Miami. Of course, he
- 38:05Speaker 4: won a title as the assistant too. But I think
- 38:09Speaker 4: it's a natural progression for somebody like him. I mean,
- 38:12Speaker 4: we've seen guys, We've seen some great coaches, you know,
- 38:16Speaker 4: Chuck Daily and that wonderful dream team that he coached,
- 38:20Speaker 4: and you know, Steve Kerr has done a tremendous job.
- 38:23Speaker 4: Mike Mike Kaye has done a great job when they've
- 38:26Speaker 4: asked him, you know, in the Olympics. And I think
- 38:29Speaker 4: Spotswood really really not only deserves it, but I think
- 38:35Speaker 4: he is the kind of guy that has got a
- 38:37Speaker 4: lot of respect of players on all teams, not just
- 38:41Speaker 4: his own. And it is a very very serious decision,
- 38:47Speaker 4: you know, when they select this coach. And I just
- 38:50Speaker 4: remember the late Chuck Daily and how much that just
- 38:55Speaker 4: jettison his career just kind of put a nice bow
- 38:58Speaker 4: on it. Obviously he won with the De Troy Pistons
- 39:01Speaker 4: the titles, but I think Eric deserves it number one,
- 39:05Speaker 4: and he's the right guy for something like this. I
- 39:08Speaker 4: have to say, I agree.
- 39:11Speaker 3: What about you, Joe So he started out as a
- 39:14Speaker 3: videoographer for the Heat. He worked his way up to
- 39:18Speaker 3: being the head coach through dedication and hard work. He's
- 39:22Speaker 3: won multiple championships, coach the biggest personalities of the NBA
- 39:28Speaker 3: and is still at the top level. So you know,
- 39:31Speaker 3: there's no question about is he qualified. Hopefully Josh here
- 39:36Speaker 3: is not listening right now because he's a Miami fan.
- 39:39Speaker 3: Spolster is one of the best coaches of the NBA,
- 39:42Speaker 3: hands down. Anyone who doesn't think that doesn't follow basketball,
- 39:46Speaker 3: doesn't understand basketball. Is he the best? No, But he's
- 39:51Speaker 3: top three to top five? Easy.
- 39:54Speaker 1: Well, i'll tell you what. You're right, Joe, he's one
- 39:59Speaker 1: multiple titles here. But if he gets it, I don't
- 40:02Speaker 1: think it's a one time deal. I think Eric Spoltro
- 40:06Speaker 1: is the type of guy that can coach in multiple
- 40:08Speaker 1: Olympics because he's that young compared to what you have
- 40:11Speaker 1: out there. So I think there's only one choice. It
- 40:14Speaker 1: is Eric Spostra, not only because of the jobs that
- 40:17Speaker 1: he's done with Miami, but he sat on the bench
- 40:19Speaker 1: behind Steve Kerk and other people to watch how the
- 40:22Speaker 1: process has already done. So I could see him coaching
- 40:25Speaker 1: in two or three Olympics. I really truly can see him.
- 40:28Speaker 1: He's a heck of a coach. I think he's underrated.
- 40:31Speaker 1: How can I say he's underrated, Well, when you get
- 40:33Speaker 1: sell some of the other big names out there, he might.
- 40:36Speaker 1: But I'll tell you one thing, I hope he gets it,
- 40:39Speaker 1: and I hope he stays with it for a while.
- 40:41Speaker 1: I really truly do so if we all agree on that. Well,
- 40:45Speaker 1: guess what. This is the part of the show where
- 40:47Speaker 1: jb Ellis has his own topic. Jalen Brunson is going
- 40:52Speaker 1: to be named the thirty sixth cap in New York
- 40:54Speaker 1: next history. How do you like to move Listen?
- 40:57Speaker 3: He was there MVP last year. They needed him, you know,
- 41:01Speaker 3: when all the chips were down. They worked their way
- 41:04Speaker 3: to a number two seed in the East, which was phenomenal.
- 41:09Speaker 3: They were before the year. They'll be thought of the
- 41:12Speaker 3: Knicks as a threat. Obviously, they lost to the Pacers
- 41:16Speaker 3: of the playoffs, which a lot of it had to
- 41:19Speaker 3: do with injuries, and the Pacers played really good. They're
- 41:21Speaker 3: they're a good young team, the Pacers, but you know,
- 41:25Speaker 3: they outplayed the Knicks and ended up beating them in
- 41:27Speaker 3: the series. Brunson, you know, took over the leadership role.
- 41:32Speaker 3: He was all the court, he was scoring and he
- 41:35Speaker 3: just he became the leader of the team. So I
- 41:38Speaker 3: have no issues with him becoming the captain. I think
- 41:40Speaker 3: he's gonna do a good job.
- 41:43Speaker 1: Uh.
- 41:43Speaker 3: You know, they have a good core of guys. A
- 41:46Speaker 3: lot of them have Villanova ties, which is very strange.
- 41:49Speaker 3: Brunson does as well, but you know, it's like Philadelphia
- 41:53Speaker 3: moved to New York City and they became the Knicks.
- 41:56Speaker 3: And you know, Julius randalls out there in left field
- 41:59Speaker 3: because he didn't go to the Lodova. But it's all right,
- 42:02Speaker 3: they still love him.
- 42:05Speaker 1: Noair, No, well, now let's face reality. Tom Thibodeau and
- 42:09Speaker 1: him worked well, and Jalen's earning their stripes over there.
- 42:13Speaker 1: And I'll tell you one thing. I'll go step further, Joe.
- 42:15Speaker 1: I think Jalen Bronson could play in any era of basketball.
- 42:19Speaker 1: I love his heart, I really do. And not only that,
- 42:22Speaker 1: he took a little bit less money off the what
- 42:24Speaker 1: he could have gotten to be unselfished trying to bring
- 42:27Speaker 1: more players. I know this is your topic that I
- 42:29Speaker 1: just thought i'd implement that as well. But that said,
- 42:32Speaker 1: let's go to parting shots, so that you had this
- 42:36Speaker 1: topic you can lead off.
- 42:38Speaker 3: So I'm going to go with the Cups because we
- 42:42Speaker 3: did do a Cup financial tonight. There was a lot
- 42:44Speaker 3: of things going on.
- 42:46Speaker 1: All right.
- 42:46Speaker 3: So as of August actually off September, I think third,
- 42:52Speaker 3: the Cups had twenty three blown saves. Right now, they
- 42:56Speaker 3: see themselves four games out of the wildcard. I don't
- 43:01Speaker 3: know how many games behind Milwaukee they are, but if
- 43:04Speaker 3: you cut those in half, they'd probably be in first
- 43:08Speaker 3: place or right up there with the Brewers. You know,
- 43:12Speaker 3: this is a team that has a lot of good
- 43:15Speaker 3: young talent. They're fun to watch. Last night, Uh, Peter
- 43:20Speaker 3: Armstrong rob somebody of a home run in the ninth inning.
- 43:24Speaker 3: I want to say it was Max Muncie, but you
- 43:26Speaker 3: know West Coast games are so late. Uh you know
- 43:29Speaker 3: who has the luxury of stay up that late to
- 43:31Speaker 3: watch them. I'm pretty sure was Max Bunsey. Though Bellager
- 43:35Speaker 3: has been unreal for the Cubs there, they hit more
- 43:40Speaker 3: timely than they did earlier in the year. A couple
- 43:43Speaker 3: of bad losses to the Pirates last week really put
- 43:47Speaker 3: the put them by the eight ball. Coming into the
- 43:49Speaker 3: wildcar race. They're they're battling two teams, the Braves of
- 43:53Speaker 3: the Mets, who are neck and neck right now. Mets,
- 43:56Speaker 3: what a great come from behind game one, two to one.
- 44:00Speaker 3: Today they were getting no hit until the night thening
- 44:02Speaker 3: at door Handling doing a game tying home run and
- 44:05Speaker 3: the Mets ended up winning, which is not good for
- 44:08Speaker 3: the Cubs because it's another game that you know they
- 44:11Speaker 3: could have picked up. But the Cub schedule gets a
- 44:14Speaker 3: lot easier from here. I think they have three against
- 44:16Speaker 3: the Phillies and then that's it against good teams. So
- 44:20Speaker 3: they'll have an opportunity to win a lot of games
- 44:23Speaker 3: if they can beat who they're supposed to be. And
- 44:26Speaker 3: hopefully the Braves and Mets have to play each other.
- 44:29Speaker 3: They got to play the Phillies as well. The teams
- 44:32Speaker 3: out west, the Padres and the Diamondbacks have to play
- 44:35Speaker 3: each other, and they got to play the Dodgers as well,
- 44:38Speaker 3: so hopefully they can all beat each other up. And
- 44:40Speaker 3: the Cubs could just do what they're supposed to do
- 44:43Speaker 3: win a bunch of games because they're playing less teams,
- 44:47Speaker 3: teams that they're better than, and maybe they have a
- 44:49Speaker 3: shot at least to make it close. I don't know
- 44:51Speaker 3: if they'll make it, because having overcome two teams is
- 44:55Speaker 3: not an easy thing, but at least make it interesting
- 44:59Speaker 3: as we get closer to the end of the season.
- 45:01Speaker 1: Well, they make it interesting. We'll put them on as
- 45:04Speaker 1: the topic here. How does that sound Joe? So that Chorge? Wait?
- 45:09Speaker 2: Wait wait, can I just add to tad bit? Because
- 45:13Speaker 2: Joe happened to put my Milwaukee Brewers in there, and
- 45:16Speaker 2: I just have to say at this point, Milwaukee is
- 45:19Speaker 2: eight and a half games above the I can't normally
- 45:23Speaker 2: say that, Joe, because I mean, the Brewers are having
- 45:25Speaker 2: a good season, but I will tell you this, You
- 45:28Speaker 2: are right. The Cubs have a much easier end of
- 45:30Speaker 2: the season and the Brewers have a much tougher end
- 45:33Speaker 2: of the season. So they the Brewers are playing some
- 45:37Speaker 2: of the tough they're playing the Giants that they're at,
- 45:41Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks, they have the Phillies, and then they have
- 45:44Speaker 2: another four games series against the Diamondbacks again and the
- 45:47Speaker 2: Pirates and the Mets. So we do not have an
- 45:50Speaker 2: easy end of the season here. But I have to sorry,
- 45:55Speaker 2: I got to shut out my Brewers. I mean.
- 45:58Speaker 3: Sorry, you know what, Cup fans have to root for
- 46:02Speaker 3: the Brewers because everybody that's ahead of the Cubs, the
- 46:04Speaker 3: Brewers are playing. So we need you guys. You gotta
- 46:08Speaker 3: do what you gotta do.
- 46:08Speaker 2: Now, there we go, not too often to hear that
- 46:13Speaker 2: Cubs fans for the Brewers.
- 46:16Speaker 1: Okay, well, now we have a little interesting thing between
- 46:19Speaker 1: j b Ellen's and Candy Emily. Ay two, we might
- 46:21Speaker 1: have a few more of them before this season's over with,
- 46:25Speaker 1: and don't worry. Candy has their own party shop, and
- 46:27Speaker 1: I guarantee you Joe won't be an what we're close
- 46:28Speaker 1: to it years is all right, But before we do that,
- 46:31Speaker 1: we'll go with the George iiicorn in the middle of
- 46:33Speaker 1: this conversation.
- 46:34Speaker 4: Oh well, I got a piggyback on that. You kidding me?
- 46:37Speaker 4: We're talking about you remember the old saying I want
- 46:41Speaker 4: to play meaningful games. The Detroit Red Wings said that
- 46:44Speaker 4: they wanted to play meaningful hockey games in March and April.
- 46:48Speaker 4: Look what happened they did the Detroit Tigers, who had
- 46:52Speaker 4: everybody gave up for dead, including this guy. Here we
- 46:55Speaker 4: are on September the eleventh, and they're seventy five and
- 46:59Speaker 4: seventy one one again tonight over Colorado. They are three
- 47:02Speaker 4: games behind the losing Minnesota Twins. While they've won too
- 47:07Speaker 4: in a row though the Twins, but they've gone into
- 47:10Speaker 4: a tail spin. Kansas City has, you know, the first.
- 47:16Speaker 4: Baltimore obviously has the number one seed in the wild
- 47:19Speaker 4: card race in the America League, Kansas City second. Right now,
- 47:22Speaker 4: Minnesota is two games out and the Tigers are three
- 47:26Speaker 4: three further back. They're five games out, but the Tigers
- 47:29Speaker 4: are playing some great ball right now. They're getting good pitching,
- 47:32Speaker 4: they're getting timely hitting. These kids that they promoted from
- 47:36Speaker 4: from Toledo and guys that started the season with them,
- 47:40Speaker 4: or you know, they can't ascend back Parker Metals and
- 47:43Speaker 4: to send down Spencer Storicalson to you know for months,
- 47:46Speaker 4: the months they to go back to go back to basics,
- 47:49Speaker 4: if you will, down at Triple A. But now they're healthy.
- 47:54Speaker 4: Green is hitting the ball, Kerry Carpenter's hitting the ball.
- 47:57Speaker 4: Scoogle is odds on favorite for the cy Young. I mean,
- 48:01Speaker 4: the Tigers have come from nowhere and now are contenders
- 48:06Speaker 4: for that wild card spot. And you talk about schedule,
- 48:09Speaker 4: They've got some tough games too. They've got a lot
- 48:11Speaker 4: of games with Baltimore coming up, a lot of games
- 48:13Speaker 4: with Kansas City. But what they've got it done and
- 48:15Speaker 4: they're doing right now is take care of business with Colorado.
- 48:18Speaker 4: And they got the White Sox too, they're gonna have
- 48:20Speaker 4: to sweep that series as well. So meaningful baseball is
- 48:24Speaker 4: back in detrient. I didn't think I'd say it, but
- 48:26Speaker 4: I'm very happy.
- 48:28Speaker 3: Keep a question for you that's already interrupt Scott. You know,
- 48:33Speaker 3: with the new schedules the way it is, we're playing
- 48:35Speaker 3: every team and the White Sox being so horrible. Isn't
- 48:39Speaker 3: it weird that you got the Guardians, Detroit, and Minnesota
- 48:44Speaker 3: all involved in the playoff race, and the White Sox
- 48:46Speaker 3: are break the worst record ever in baseball?
- 48:51Speaker 4: Yeah, well, don't forget the Royals. Yeah. Yeah, they have
- 48:53Speaker 4: four teams that are Yeah.
- 48:56Speaker 1: It is unusual.
- 48:57Speaker 4: It is unusual for that division, and that division has
- 49:00Speaker 4: not been known to have the greatest jeems obviously, But
- 49:04Speaker 4: you're right. I mean, everybody's feasting on the White Sox.
- 49:07Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want to realize today I was
- 49:11Speaker 3: looking at an article for the preview of the White
- 49:14Speaker 3: Sox game today. You know, Cleveland lost to them five
- 49:17Speaker 3: times this year, So magine what Cleveland record would be
- 49:21Speaker 3: if they lost to him once or twice. I'd be crazy.
- 49:28Speaker 2: And the Tigers play him yet this year, the last
- 49:30Speaker 2: game last season, the last games of the season, Tigers
- 49:33Speaker 2: are playing them.
- 49:34Speaker 1: Yeah. I didn't know Cleveland lost to the White Sox.
- 49:39Speaker 3: Yeah I saw that. I was like, no way, that's wild.
- 49:42Speaker 3: The first place team losing to a team that has
- 49:45Speaker 3: thirty three wins five times?
- 49:48Speaker 4: Wow?
- 49:48Speaker 1: Wow, unbelievable. Good statue. Yeah, and we think Candy's coming
- 49:53Speaker 1: up with the cracks after you just pulled one out
- 49:55Speaker 1: of your pocket. That's pretty unbelievable. But you know what, Joe,
- 49:59Speaker 1: I'm going to top you when I get to mind. Okay,
- 50:03Speaker 1: go ahead, Candy.
- 50:05Speaker 2: So I'm going way different than all of you, guys.
- 50:09Speaker 2: Kudos to my alma mater. My alma mater is University
- 50:15Speaker 2: Wisconsin Whitewater. They had seven current or former members of
- 50:21Speaker 2: the University of Wisconsin Whitewaters men and women's wheelchair basketball
- 50:25Speaker 2: programs won gold medals at the Paris twenty twenty four
- 50:29Speaker 2: Para Olympics. They defeated Great Britain seventy three to sixty
- 50:35Speaker 2: nine in the championship game, solidifying an undefeated run through
- 50:42Speaker 2: the tournament, clinching the team's third consecutive Para Olympic title.
- 50:50Speaker 2: They've had such a stretch of great I'll have to
- 50:54Speaker 2: say that they have such a great program for wheelchair
- 50:59Speaker 2: for men and women wheelchair that they have done an
- 51:02Speaker 2: unbelievable program. I'm so happy that they won gold again
- 51:07Speaker 2: at the Paralympic Games. Kudos to them. Good job.
- 51:11Speaker 1: Okay, Well, you know what, I'm going back to college football.
- 51:17Speaker 1: You know, I ain't going back to college football because
- 51:20Speaker 1: people in Northern Illinois should be very very happy at
- 51:23Speaker 1: the moment because they ended up walking into South Bend
- 51:27Speaker 1: and beat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish by a score
- 51:29Speaker 1: of sixteen to fourteen. But you know it's even bigger
- 51:32Speaker 1: than that score. How about the payout of one point
- 51:34Speaker 1: four million dollars that they ended up getting to beat
- 51:38Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Now, we talked about this on Inside the
- 51:42Speaker 1: Piskin a couple of days ago. If you're involved in
- 51:45Speaker 1: college you can get that one point four million dollars
- 51:47Speaker 1: to help fund your athletic program. You're doing some really
- 51:50Speaker 1: good work. Guess what. Okay, not only did Northern Illinois
- 51:55Speaker 1: do some really good work, they did it against the
- 51:57Speaker 1: Notre Dame Fighting Irish. That's to me unbelievable and congradulations
- 52:03Speaker 1: from Northern Illinois. But I'm not done yet. They recently,
- 52:07Speaker 1: Montana State walked into New Mexico to defeat the Lobos.
- 52:11Speaker 1: They got three hundred and sixty thousand dollars. What's interesting
- 52:14Speaker 1: about Montana State is they're an FCS school, So don't
- 52:17Speaker 1: sell those teams in Miami rather Montana short because they're
- 52:22Speaker 1: pretty good teams and the Big Sky always makes it
- 52:26Speaker 1: present felt out in with college basketball with March Madness.
- 52:31Speaker 1: So you know, obviously New Mexico doesn't have the bank
- 52:35Speaker 1: role that Notre Dame does, but Montana State can at
- 52:39Speaker 1: least say they ended up being an FBS team. But
- 52:42Speaker 1: I'm still going to rest on my lourels that this
- 52:45Speaker 1: just goes to show you that on every given Saturday
- 52:48Speaker 1: as well as Sunday, you know, if you're looking past somebody,
- 52:52Speaker 1: you're taking a game for granted, don't do it, and
- 52:56Speaker 1: I'll give you one point for a million reasons why.
- 53:00Speaker 1: So congratulations to Northern Illinois. And I have a feeling
- 53:03Speaker 1: that Notre Day will be eating crowver this and they
- 53:05Speaker 1: can only hope to get into college Football playoff. But
- 53:08Speaker 1: this did not help their costs at.
- 53:10Speaker 2: All, So can I Scott add to that?
- 53:15Speaker 1: Sure?
- 53:16Speaker 2: In Week one alone, more than thirty five million dollars
- 53:20Speaker 2: is being shelled out across at least fifty five games
- 53:24Speaker 2: with monetary guarantee contracts. Those payments range from as little
- 53:28Speaker 2: as three hundred thousand that Middle Tennessee is paying Texas
- 53:32Speaker 2: or Tennessee Tech to the one point nine million dollar
- 53:36Speaker 2: check that Alabama is writing to Western Kentucky.
- 53:40Speaker 1: Very good, thanks for adding kated it. Great stuff. Goes
- 53:42Speaker 1: to show you that these first few weeks of the
- 53:45Speaker 1: season mean an awful lot to schools that obviously are
- 53:48Speaker 1: willing to take a beating. I work with a guy,
- 53:51Speaker 1: Howard Schnellenberger, who took a lot of those beatings. But
- 53:54Speaker 1: you know what, he built the FAU program from scratch
- 53:57Speaker 1: and now they have an on campus stadium. So I
- 54:00Speaker 1: remember being a part of some of those games, and
- 54:03Speaker 1: when FAU defeated Minnesota at hard Rock Stadium, we were
- 54:07Speaker 1: all rejoicing there because it was against a Big ten
- 54:09Speaker 1: school and it was a pretty interesting game. So that's
- 54:13Speaker 1: a complete this edition of the Sports Chains. But we
- 54:16Speaker 1: have a little business take care of and we're gonna
- 54:18Speaker 1: lead off with Joe Ellis. Tell everybody know how that
- 54:20Speaker 1: can get you a hold in Joe.
- 54:22Speaker 3: So JB underscore the program on x sidelinesportsnet dot com.
- 54:26Speaker 3: I get Sideline sportsnet dot com. The website Candy built,
- 54:30Speaker 3: we all write on. Kiddie's got some pictures of the
- 54:32Speaker 3: rest of the people from side lighter on there Sideline
- 54:35Speaker 3: Sports Every Tuesday eight thirty pm and here every week, and.
- 54:40Speaker 1: Of course George and I right on there as well,
- 54:43Speaker 1: so it's pretty good stuff. So but that's said, Okay,
- 54:47Speaker 1: we'll go to George Icorn, go ahead, all right.
- 54:50Speaker 4: Yes, Scott's had a good book out there. He's got
- 54:53Speaker 4: a good book, and you can pick his up and
