  Speaker 1: Well, the Giants had a bye week, but the Jets
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: were out and the defense collapsed in the end. But
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we have the super sports spectacular Warner Wolf on to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: tell us when the hell is Aaron Glenn, the head coach,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: going to give up calling defensive signals?
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Well, you're right. The Jets would have been better off
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: with a bye rather than the Giants. Yeah. Yeah, you
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: could laugh at that.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn's record. His record is now 5-20 as Jets
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: head coach. 2-6 this year. And it will likely be
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: 2-8 because they play the Chiefs and Bills next. Glenn
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: is also proving he has seen his better days as
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator. I mean, you know, I don't know
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: what to say. He seems like a nice guy. But
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think he can do it. He can't do
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the job. The only bright spot is Braylon Allen was
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: playing for the injured Brees Hall. Man, he gained 147
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: yards in 21 carries. So that was it for the Jets.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: The home teams, by the way, won 10 out of
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the 13 games this week. Hey, who are you kidding?
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Bears quarterback Kaleeb Williams was fined nearly $ 24, 000 by the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: NFL for wearing a pair of unauthorized NFL shoes, Caddx cleats,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: in the win last week against the Patriots. No surprise,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the Caddx company CEO paid Williams his $ 24, 000 fine. The
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: question is, gentlemen, how much did the Caddx company pay
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Williams under the table For the free advertising on a
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: three-hour NFL game on national television. Likely more than the $ 24, 000.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: He's no dummy. Talk about leading. Did you follow that?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Moolah schmoolah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: That's it. Moolah schmoolah under the table.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Now you're talking. Hey, talk about leading lambs to slaughter.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Small-time football schools like Ball State and Kent State both
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: chose to play big-name schools all on the road in
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: big stadiums like Ohio State, South Carolina, and Northwestern. And
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: they've already lost by scores of 57-0, 59-3, and 51-15. Why?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: So their athletic departments can cash in and earn millions,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: which they wouldn't get if they were playing at home.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: So I can see it now. Ball State and Kent
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: State recruiters, they visit a prospective player's parents and say
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: to the parents, Hey, folks, come on down. Have your
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: son play for us and watch your son get clobbered.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: But he'll be making money for our athletic department. All right,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: as far as the World Series goes, the Brewers proved
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to the rest of the league, including... The Yankees and Mets,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you don't need home runs to be successful. The world
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: champion Brewers were next to last in home runs with
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a total of only 154 home runs compared to the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: homer crazy Yankees who had 223 homers and the Mets
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: with 204 homers. And where did that get them? Instead,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the Brewers played old-time baseball games. including bunting, whoa, a
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: lost art, hitting behind the runner, hit and run, stealing bases,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and perhaps more important, instead of a robot manager relying
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: on pitch count and overrated analytics, removing the starting pitcher
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: always way too soon, the Brewers manager, Pat Murphy, led
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: his four starting pitchers, each average, At least six innings
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: or more per game. That's the way you do it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: No Aaron Boone there, that's for sure.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: No, no, Mr. Robot. A sad note, Jerry Kuzma looked
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: upon as the best left-handed starter in Met history. He
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: died at age 83. Kuzma won 222 games, and Met
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: fans will always remember He was the key, besides Tom
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Seaver in 1969, winning games two and five in the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: World Series against Baltimore. And guess what? He pitched eight
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: innings in game two and a complete game in game five. Today,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: he would have been yanked in the third inning.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: All right, here we go. It's time now. A rare appearance,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: bringing them back. The Three Stooges. Hit it, Crash. All right,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: here we go. Stooge number one, former President Obama, who
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: now we find out knew 10 years ago that Minnesota
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Representative Ilhan Omar had married her brother and said nothing
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: so she could run for Congress again. and he wouldn't
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: have to send her back to Somalia. Stooge number two,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: former FBI director James Comey, who after hit again with
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: leaking classified information last week to the New York Times,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: called it abuse of power. Abuse of power. Hey, Jimmy,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: look in the mirror. You were part of the great
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Russian hoax. That was the all-time abuse of power. And
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: our third stooge, former Vice President Kamala Harris, who last week,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: while campaigning in Georgia for Senator John Ossoff, said, let's
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: elect John Ossoff as our next senator. He is the senator. Oh, man.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Talk about being unprepared. And those are our three seasons.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Moana, you mentioned Jerry Koosman.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: You know, for all the Met fans, oh, the thrill
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: of victory, the agony of defeat for the Boston Red Sox,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the 1986 World Series where I hated both equally. I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: was Switzerland. I hated the Red Sox. I hated the Mets. But, oh,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the memories. Buckner, Mookie Wilson. And that wasn't the final game, Warner.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: A lot of people still think that was the final game.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: You know what? It's funny you bring that up. That
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: was game six. And the anniversary was last week. It
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: marked the 40th year. But you know what? The Red
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Sox fans incorrectly... blamed Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: for the loss. That was wrong. That's a bum rap.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: First of all, how about the relievers, Calvin Chiraldi, who
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: gave up three hits after two are out, and Bob Stanley,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: who came in and threw the wild pitch to tie
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the score. Buckner was playing on two bad knees, had
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: cortisone shots in his ankles before the game started, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: had an Achilles heel problem. He should have been replaced
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: at first base by McNamara, the manager, which he had
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: done in games one, two, and five. You remember, as
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: a result, Curtis, poor Buckner had to move his family
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: to Idaho because of death threats and scrutiny by the media.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: But he really was not the GOAT, but they just
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: jumped all over him.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And he was a great ball player when you consider
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: all that.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: This guy almost had 3,000 hits, and he hit over
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: 300 or 299 nine times.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: He was a terrific hitter.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Warner Wolf. I got to cut you off. I got
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to give you a verbal bris. You were magnificent today.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: But we got to go to Natalie Migliore up next,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: who was out on that marathon route. And, boy, she
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: became an even bigger star with our own Larry and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Natalie and others here at 710WR, who did great coverage
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: of yesterday's New York City Marathon.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Customers,
