  Speaker 1: Two games locally and for the analysis, the legendary sportscaster
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to the videotape, Warner Wolfe. Warner, your analysis of the Giants'
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: win over the Titans.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: All right, I'll tell you this. Despite the win, you know,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I said it last week, there's no way that John
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Harbaugh is going to entrust the rest of the season
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: with Jameis Winston with 14 games left. He's been on
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the phone since Jason Dart got hurt, and he's on
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: the phone right now as we speak. He is, absolutely,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: looking for somebody from another team to pick up his
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: backup quarterback. But the key is, what do the other
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: teams want from the Giants, and what would the Giants
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: be willing to give up? I think there are seven options.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: You've got Tua Taglialloa. Carson Wentz. Remember, he had some
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: good years with the Eagles. Gardner Minshew. These guys are
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: all backups. Now, Mack Jones, you remember him? Justin Fields,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: who was horrible with the Jets, but he was good
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: with the Bears and Steelers. You have Jimmy Garoppolo. And
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: here is my long shot. Surprise possibility. Harbour's old winning
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Ravens Super Bowl quarterback, 41-year-old Joe Flacco.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Flacco's been around a lot. You should be the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: giant general manager, Warner.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: So tell me, who do you want out of that group?
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Who would you want if you had your druthers?
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I think I would right now. And again, you have
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to understand it's only for this season. He's not going
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to play next year. Jackson Dart will be back, so
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it's just to salvage the season. And he's not going
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to do it with Jameis Winston. So of these guys,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I would pick Carson Wentz. He had some great years
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: with the Eagles. You remember that, Larry? And he's playing
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: now with the Vikings. But again, you laughed at that
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: long shot. Joe Flacco.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Flacco knows Harbaugh. Harbaugh knows Flacco.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I only laughed because every single time a quarterback gets hurt,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: they go, what about Joe Flacco? And he plays well.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Every time he plays for somebody, he plays well. So
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I was only laughing at the fact that his name
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: came up again. His name's going to come up until
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: he's 50.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Well, he's laughing at you, too, Larry. He listens every morning.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: All right, what about Jets?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, how about those Jets? My man Geno. Who says
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Geno Smith can't play well against good teams? 31 for 37.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: 321 yards. Excuse me. Three touchdowns and no interceptions. The
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Jets played well enough to win. But here's the only question.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Should Aaron Glenn continue as both the head coach and
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: calling the defensive plays? I don't think so. He doesn't
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: seem to be able to handle both at the same time.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Well, one thing we could say about the Jets, Warren,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: is they're interesting, and they're a hell of a lot
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: better than last year.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, I would agree with that. And, by the way,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the Jets didn't exactly give Geno a vote of confidence
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: when they signed Will Levis last week. Remember, he bombed
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: out with the Titans two years ago. And it was Levis...
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: who said last month, I know there are not 32
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the league better than me. He's right. There
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: are probably 64 quarterbacks in the league better than you,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: if you count the backups. Here is a boo of
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the week, maybe boo of the year. You've got to
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: change this rule. In Saturday's USC-Oregon game, USC linebacker Desmond
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Stephens slammed Oregon quarterback Dante Moore's head into the ground
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: as Moore was attempting to slide at the end of
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: a scramble. Moore was taken off the field on a stretcher,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: taken in an ambulance to a Los Angeles hospital. He
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: has a concussion. Moore, you know, he could be the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Heisman Trophy winner and the number one draft pick. He
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: was able to move his extremities and went back to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Oregon with the team. However, Stevens, who was ejected, celebrated
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the hit while Moore was still on the ground, and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: then after he was ejected, came back on the field
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and celebrated even more. Well, Stevens has also been suspended
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the next game. But that's not enough. Absolutely. And in
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: a lame apology, Stevens said, I take full responsibility for
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: my action. No kidding. Who else? You've got to change.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And you know that was written for him.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: You've got to change the rule.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I was surprised she could read it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: That's right. When the perpetrator commits a personal foul like Stevens,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: he should be out for as long as the victim
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: is out. And that goes for the National Football League,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the National Hockey League, and the NBA. All right. Here
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: was the... suspicious coach of the week. Man, this was bad.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Pitt was a 53-and-a-half-point favorite over Bucknell, but led by
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: only 52 points, 52 to nothing, with just 25 seconds
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: left in the game, and the ball at the Bucknell
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: 18-yard line. Well, one running play, or let the quarterback
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: take a knee, and the game's over, right? Wrong. Wrong.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: The Pitt quarterback threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to win
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: 59-0 and beat the spread. Come on, coach. Did you
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: bet on the game and give the 53-and-a-half points? So
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you have your Red Sox-Yankees best two out of three
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: beginning here tomorrow. Man, look at the pitching matchups. Cam Schlittler,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Max Freed, and Garrett Cole. will go against Sonny Gray,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Peyton Tolling, and Rainer Suarez. The Yankees won that season's
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: series in seven games to six. Because the Yanks have
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the best American League record wild card, all three games
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: against the Red Sox will be here. And the winner
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: then advances to play the division-winning Rays in the best round,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: three out of five. All right, serious question. Ask yourself this.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: When Benjamin Netanyahu told the UN it's survival, what other
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: choice do we have? If the United States was only
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the size of New Jersey and surrounded by enemies who
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: have threatened to annihilate us, what would we do? We
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: would do the exact same thing as Israel. It's called survival.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I rest my case.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: All right. Appreciate that, Warner Wolf. Same time, same place
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: next week, and we'll have the results of your picks.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Like yours.
