• 0:15
  so your opportunity to visit with Coach Sark. If you

  to Pluckers. I would say I wouldn't get there any
• 0:23
  later than five point thirty because normally we start recording
• 0:27
  the show at six and the place gets pretty loaded up.
• 0:30
  It's a wonderful location there at twenty two twenty two
• 0:34
  reoh Grand the West Campus location, but it's not the
• 0:37
  largest location of Pluckers, so it fills up. Students get
• 0:41
  over there and there's a lot they're really excited. Let
• 0:43
  me also say this, there's a lot of students coming
• 0:45
  over there who are not about to let a radio
• 0:47
  show get in the way of having a good time. Nope,
• 0:49
  they're going over there because they're going over there now too.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, Wednesday night's Trivia and I now here's something else.
• 0:58
  Texas Fight rallies tonight, So it could be a lot
• 1:01
  of students headed over to the Tower for the Texas
• 1:06
  Fight Rally. Our special guest tonight is Jamal Charles.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Nice long, we'ren't a whole of honor.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Honoree and a guy who had not only an outstanding
• 1:18
  career in Texas but also in the NFL as well.
• 1:22
  So Jamal Charles will join us during the program tonight
• 1:24
  as well. So we'll get to that Major League Baseball
• 1:27
  updating the Division Series action for you right now. The
• 1:30
  one game that's going on, there's another game getting ready
• 1:32
  to start. But the game that's going on right now
• 1:36
  is in the bottom of the six inning in Detroit,
• 1:38
  where the Tigers lead the Cleveland Guardians three nothing. If
• 1:43
  the Tigers win that game, they go up two games
• 1:45
  to one. Yankees and Royals will start a couple hours
• 1:49
  from now in Kansas City with that series tied at
• 1:51
  a game apiece. The National League Division Series have already
• 1:55
  have three games in the belt and in these best
• 1:58
  of five series, the Mets and Andres have the chance
• 2:01
  to lock it up tonight and advance to the National
• 2:05
  League Championship Series. The Mets lead the Phillies two games
• 2:08
  to one game four this evening and in fact this
• 2:13
  afternoon It's just now about to get underway in Queens
• 2:17
  at City Field with the Mets leading two games to one,
• 2:20
  and then tonight in San Diego. Like the Mets, the
• 2:23
  Padres have a chance to close it out on their
• 2:25
  own home field. San Diego beat the Dodgers last night
• 2:28
  six to five. They scored six runs in the second
• 2:31
  inning off Walker Bueller and made it stand up and
• 2:33
  they won held off for a six to five lead
• 2:36
  despite a grand slam home run from tay Oscar Hernandez.
• 2:39
  But they're one game away from wrapping that up, and
• 2:42
  that's at eight o'clock tonight out in San Diego. So
• 2:46
  that's where your Major League Baseball playoffs stand at the moment.
• 2:53
  NFL action will resume tomorrow night with the Thursday night game.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Have any interest in forty nine or Seahawks? I think so.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: It's a big game for San Francisco, Craig. You had
• 3:05
  that blown loss against Arizona. Still can't believe they did
• 3:08
  not score a single point in that game, two and three,
• 3:12
  and could you imagine San Francisco being two and four
• 3:15
  after the first six weeks of the season and with
• 3:19
  this loss, Craig, I mean, you're looking at an NFC
• 3:22
  West team that will be looking up at the Seattle Seahawks.
• 3:25
  So it's not like a loser leaves town type of game.
• 3:28
  But as we get deeper and deeper into the season,
• 3:31
  you're starting to get more worried about the San Francisco
• 3:33
  team and this Kyle Shanahan offense that still is without
• 3:38
  Christian McCaffrey for who knows how long. At this point,
• 3:41
  Deebo Samuel was pretty ineffective. Now, Brandon, now you got
• 3:44
  his best game of the season, but Seattle could be
• 3:46
  four and two, Craig going into next week in the
• 3:49
  top the NFC West by two games.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let me get your thoughts if you have interest
• 3:56
  in some of these other NFL games. First of all,
• 4:00
  Sunday morning, the London game Bears Jaguars. Of course, the
• 4:04
  jag second home is London. As we know, they played
• 4:07
  more games in London than any NFL team. Jags are
• 4:10
  one and four, coming off their first win being the Colts.
• 4:13
  Bears are three and two. They won three straight home games.
• 4:16
  They've not been a road team and now they really
• 4:19
  go on the road across Water. There is that old
• 4:21
  Any interest for you, Jaguars Bears?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Jaguars lose this game, Craig, Doug Peterson may
• 4:27
  end up being the next coach fire because they they're
• 4:29
  able to win last week and the snap their losing
• 4:33
  streak zero to four, finally getting their first one. I
• 4:36
  think Lawrence had lost what eight nine straight teams in
• 4:38
  the row, and they beat a Colts team with, you know,
• 4:40
  without Anthony Richardson. But this is the game, Craig, where
• 4:44
  if they lose this, Peterson may be out. But for
• 4:47
  the Bears, I think we're starting to see kill Williams now.
• 4:49
  The wheels are in motion after a tough couple games,
• 4:52
  which shouldn't be any surprise for a rookie with really
• 4:55
  limited preseason action, and I was getting his footing. He
• 4:58
  did play Carolina, but it was that's his best game
• 5:00
  he's played so far as an NFL quarterback. So in
• 5:03
  the Jaguars defense, by the way, one of the worst
• 5:05
  passing defenses in the league.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: So London's always weird.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Who knows how that game will be played out, different turf,
• 5:12
  all that stuff, But this could be a game where
• 5:15
  kill Williams continues to get better and better and Jacksonville's
• 5:19
  coming back looking for a new head coach.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Texan's got the huge win at home last week over
• 5:24
  Buffalo on the walk off field goal by Kyamie fairbearn
• 5:28
  they play in Foxborough against the Patriots, trap game.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Could be now Drake May making his first NFL start,
• 5:35
  and then for the Patriots, you have or for the text,
• 5:38
  excuse me. Nico Collins on the IR who was maybe
• 5:41
  the league's best receiver, number two behind Justin Jefferson. Now
• 5:45
  he's out for at least four weeks. So Wills Diggs
• 5:48
  and Tank Dell they step up. And how about Exavier Hutchinson,
• 5:50
  the Iowa State receiver. He's gonna be picked up in
• 5:53
  some fantasy leagues. But always a trap game. But I
• 5:56
  think this Patriots team, we'll see how they look with
• 6:00
  Drake May remains to be seen, but.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I think Texans should be okay. I mean, it's coming
• 6:05
  off a couple of big wins the last couple of weeks.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: To me, to me, one of the more intriguing matchups
• 6:11
  in the noon window, the early window Washington Baltimore Commanders
• 6:15
  at Ravens at M and T.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Banks Stadium.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I believe it's called this is a game where I
• 6:19
  don't understand why it's being played at It's played at noon, right, yeah,
• 6:23
  one to clock eastern. Uh huh, this game should be
• 6:26
  the night game. Instead we have Bengals Giants. Kid, they
• 6:30
  couldn't early, they couldn't flex this early, or even the
• 6:34
  three o'clock games. I mean, who wants to watch Falcons
• 6:37
  Panthers at three twenty five? But this is, I think, Craig,
• 6:40
  the game of the day, game of the day. You
• 6:42
  have Washington, who their offense looks incredible. Jaydon Daniels is
• 6:46
  so much fun to watch. In Baltimore who I don't.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Know, Craig.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: The deeper I get into the season, the more I'm
• 6:51
  starting to believe that Baltimore may be the best team
• 6:55
  in the AFC. Now. I know they lost to Kansas
• 6:57
  City in Week one. That was Week one. I think
• 6:59
  Baltimore the best team right now in football.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I guess maybe it has to do with balance of
• 7:04
  games between Fox and CBS, because that Falcons Panthers game
• 7:09
  is a Fox telecast. The Ravens and Commanders or CBS.
• 7:14
  You know, there's just.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: A game, screams Chris Myers, going.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah that you know, and I don't know about you.
• 7:24
  This started happening. I think two years ago, maybe three,
• 7:29
  forever and ever and ever and ever and ever in
• 7:31
  the modern age, since the merger, let's put it that way,
• 7:34
  since the merger, even really going back to the NFL
• 7:36
  and AFL, CBS had all the NFL games, or after
• 7:40
  the merger of NFC, NBC had all of the AFC games,
• 7:48
  and that's how it was, and East was we East,
• 7:50
  and West was West, and never the Twain did meet
• 7:53
  that Monday Night Football and then Thursday. I guess it's
• 7:56
  because of the proliferation of the streaming games and ESPN
• 8:02
  and Sunday Night Football that they can't keep it to
• 8:05
  its true form. Last week, last week he had you
• 8:08
  had two games, one that you swear would be uh
• 8:13
  a CBS game and it was on Fox. I think,
• 8:17
  uh wasn't that? The No, wasn't the Falcons what I mean, Yeah,
• 8:21
  I think it might have been a fact.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: It wasn't. It wasn't the Texans game. Put it that way,
• 8:25
  and you had that.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And then you had the Rams and the Packers who
• 8:28
  were on CBS, and so I've given up trying to
• 8:32
  keep out. I think they're just trying to balance total
• 8:34
  number of appearances on each network that that sort of thing.
• 8:39
  So maybe that's the reasoning here. I don't know Brown's
• 8:43
  Eagles in the early window.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Is it time that it's past time? But well, the
• 8:48
  Browns finally bench Deshaun Watson. Can we finally get Genis
• 8:52
  Winston at quarterback?
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: This?
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: This could be a disgusting game because the Eagles are
• 8:56
  not fun to watch.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: The Browns are not fun to watch. This will get
• 8:59
  zero attention.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe the most other than other than Washington and Baltimore,
• 9:05
  the most to me intriguing game in the early window
• 9:09
  is Cardinals Packers in Green Bay. Here's the Cardinals of
• 9:12
  two and three coming off the comfort behind win over
• 9:16
  San Francisco. The Packers survived a game against the Rams
• 9:21
  where they quite easily could have lost, but the Rams
• 9:23
  just couldn't get out of their own way. So you
• 9:26
  got a three and two Packers and a two and
• 9:27
  three Cardinals on that. Bucks and Saints two teams smarting.
• 9:32
  The Saints had started two and oh. Last time they
• 9:34
  won was when they drubbed the Cowboys. Now they dropped
• 9:37
  three in a row, and the Bucks are three and
• 9:39
  two coming off the loss last week. So we got
• 9:43
  three and two and a two and three there and
• 9:45
  Baker got he got banged up. Now you know, say
• 9:48
  what you want about Baker Mayfield. He is a pretty
• 9:49
  tough kid.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I hope try and find a way to play this game,
• 9:52
  but his health will be interesting to watch. And for
• 9:56
  New Orleans, is it going to be Spencer Rattler because
• 9:59
  he did not come men for Derek Carr? It was
• 10:03
  I think it's Travis Hayner. I don't even his first name,
• 10:05
  but he also played at President State where coincidentally that's
• 10:08
  where Derek Carr played. But when they don't have Taysom Hill,
• 10:11
  no Taysom Hill, and possibly will it be Rattler?
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Will it be Hayner? Who knows?
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: But New Orleans who after they scored nine thousand points
• 10:20
  against Dallas, has lost with three straight games in a
• 10:23
  row and are staring at two or four straight in
• 10:25
  the face.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, and then the one other game in the early
• 10:31
  window Colts Titans. Yeah, that kind of has some smell
• 10:36
  to it. Who's who's the quarterback for the Titans?
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Now? I couldn't even tell you because they benched Will
• 10:41
  Levis correct, they did, but then I thought they went.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Back to Yeah, okay, uh, it was Mason Rudolph who
• 10:50
  came in. Maybe it is Will Levis, Okay, Will loves
• 10:53
  first Joe Flakil.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: That's a quarterback matchup for you. Okay, in the late window.
• 10:59
  Like you said, Falcons Falcons Panthers holds no water for
• 11:03
  you there.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Steelers Raiders.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Raiders are two and three, they're at home against Pittsburgh.
• 11:10
  That's in the Chargers Broncos. Now that holds some interest.
• 11:13
  I think Chargers two and two Broncos. The surprise of
• 11:16
  the AFC at three and two, that's in the later window.
• 11:21
  And then unless we forget Lions Cowboys easily the most
• 11:27
  attractive of the three twenty five games.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: It's three o'clock game. That's the three twenty five PM game.
• 11:32
  That's a great time to take a nap.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Then see now, Cam, here's how you do. You stay
• 11:37
  over Saturday night after the game after Texas OU and
• 11:42
  then you just shuttle it over them.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: We're coming back Saturday. Yeah? Are you coming back after
• 11:47
  the game Saturday night? Yeah, we're coming back Saturday.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: That's slave driver Terry Fowx. He's just he's just loading
• 11:54
  you up, making you roll it on back.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I would love to spend the night at the Cotton
• 11:58
  Bowl but we'll be coming back Saturday, so Sunday will
• 12:01
  be a.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Very It will be a rest day for me. Okay,
• 12:03
  load of management. Yeah, there you go.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: All right, So there's a look around the National Football
• 12:09
  League coming up next. We'll hear more from Longhorn's head coach,
• 12:11
  Steve Sarkesian when we continue here on Sports Radio AM
• 12:14
  thirteen under the zone of the iHeartRadio app.
